Quilting a quilt
I'm new at quilting and nearly finish with my first quilt, it's a Trip Around the World quilt, what I would like to know is what is the easiest way to quilt it, stitch in the ditch or what, and if so would I stitch all the seams?
At this time I wouldn't dare trying to free-hand quilting.
You could go diagonally all in one direction, diagonally in both directions, or even follow the colored pattern and quilt in 'diamonds' around each ring of squares. It's really up to you.
I would suggest that one of these with sewing from one corner to another easier than trying to stitch in the ditch. And depending on the size of your quilt squares, you might not need to quilt through all squares, you might be able to skip a row or two.
diagonally in both directions:
[Tried to find more examples but have run out of time. Google Images "Trip Around the World" and you'll see more]
I agree that stitching through the squares on the diagonal is the easiest way to quilt this quilt. Here is my method, others might have a different way of doing the same thing:
~ you want to have some way of keeping your lines straight, either a measure rod that attaches to your walking foot (also called even feed foot - which you need to feed both the top and the bottom evenly while sewing so you don't end up with major puckers on the back)
or.....you can mark the top of your quilt with pieces of blue painters' tape laid on the quilt through the center of the squares on the diagonal and moved as needed
~ be sure to pin your quilt sandwich all over (about a hand's width between safety pins) before you mark with the tape or start to sew
~ I first sew a big cross starting from the middle and going out to each edge in all four directions - this is to help anchor the quilt sandwich and can be done in the ditch of your piecing seams
*** you always want to sew from the center of the quilt to the outer edges so any bulk on the back will migrate out to the edges and not cause puckers
~ next, I start from the center and sew diagonally down to the right lower corner, sewing in the middle of the squares; then return to the center and sew diagonally in the opposite direction to the upper left corner
~ leave a tail of thread when you start and these tails can be knotted and pulled through the quilt and popped through the top to bury the thread in the middle
~ continue to sew diagonally starting in the center and sewing to the edges, then do the same method sewing diagonally in the other direction until the entire quilt is quilted.
Hope this helps,
I really like it too!!!!
If you look at the bottom at the whites squares you can see the continuous line quilting. It starts with a smiley face on the top, then a smiley facing left on the side, and then a smiley facing right on the other side of the next block, you are quilting the top and 2 sides. When you reach the end turn the quilt and the bottom is a smiley facing left (or half moons lol)!! I am just learning machine quilting and I was able to to this with my walking foot. To mark it all I did was place a dot in the center of the curve. I was tired of stitch in the ditch but not really good enough for FMQ.

Product description
Read by Danny Glover, with an introduction by Kofi Annan. Nelson Mandela is one of the great moral and political leaders of our time: an international hero whose lifelong dedication to the fight against racial oppression in South Africa won him the Nobel Peace Prize and the presidency of his country. Since his triumphant release in 1990 from more than a quarter-century of imprisonment, Mandela has been at the center of the most compelling and inspiring political drama in the world. As president of the African National Congress and head of South Africa's antiapartheid movement, he was instrumental in moving the nation toward multiracial government and majority rule. He is revered everywhere as a vital force in the fight for human rights and racial equality. LONG WALK TO FREEDOM is his moving and exhilarating autobiography, destined to take its place among the finest memoirs of history's greatest figures. Here for the first time, Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela tells the extraordinary story of his life--an epic of struggle, setback, renewed hope, and ultimate triumph.

If you love anything about flight you will see some really cool planes from many eras and enjoy the small town experience with close up and personal attention. The annual air show is well worth it as well
This is a little ways from Santa Rosa but actually closer to where I was working which is how I found it. There is a good selection of displays which I enjoyed.
As a former Navy guy, I really appreciated this museum and the work the people have put into it to make it so great. There were many aircraft I hadn't seen since the 60's (in person) so getting up close was like visiting an old friend. It really is a super hour to hour and a half time........only $7 for...
We attended the "Wings Over Wine Country" air show. There were plenty of vintage aircraft (many military) that we were allowed to enjoy sitting in and pretend at the controls. The air show itself was magnificent and extensive. There were bi-planes, helicopters, transports, and drones. There were many acrobatic stunts including rolls, dives, wing-walks, and close fly-by maneuvers. A long...
Climb aboard aircraft like you have seen in the movies and on TV. This is a great facility where you get a hands on experience of aircraft throughout history, There's also a little souvenir store to take home some memories. Staffed by dedicated volunteers I might add.
This is a great museum for kids and adults who are interested in classic planes. It's right next door from the Sonoma County Airport (STS) in Santa Rosa.
Its really worth the effort of driving out of Santa Rosa to find this small but interesting collection of mainly military aircraft. The staff, apparently all volunteers, are so enthusiastic and helpful and have lots of interesting tales to relate.
The aircraft display is mostly outdoors so go on a sunny day and enjoy a little piece of history
Lots of static displays of aircraft. Basically you get to walk around the airplanes. It would be nice if they could have an opportunity to get into the cockpits of the planes.
I'm not an aviation fan but my son is. He LOVED this place (lots of cool real planes to see) and the volunteers that run this (many former military retired folks) really do know what they are talking about. I was surprised by how much more there was to do and learn about than I initially thought. Children and aviation...
The museum is self-guided but a must altenrative to winery visits if you are at all interested in aviation history. The staff is friendly. There is a $6 entrance fee but I felt it was going to great use in supporting this local piece of Sonoma aviation history. Little did I know that the airport was a WWII training airfield.

Join the Taylor Festival Choir and Na Fidleiri for a rousing concert at Grace Episcopal Church celebrating our Irish Heritage and previewing the concerts we will take to Ireland this Summer. The program will reflect the various ways the Irish (and in a broader sense, Celtic) culture has impacted the musical arts in the US, and showcase the virtuosity, versatility, and uniqueness of TFC and Na Fidleiri in the nation that inspires and informs much of their artistic activities. The program will blend the predominately "classical" artistry of TFC with the hybrid playing of Na Fidleiri, which uses classical playing styles and arrangement techniques (including intricate counterpoint) in performing traditional Irish and American Old Time tunes. Newly commissioned works will also be presented.

shorts are going to have a tough day tomorrow
absolutely expected....it could come back a few percentages more going into next month's earnings. i would be buying the winners...those that have been reporting growth the last few qtrs. its a welcome pull back.
strong resistance up here for a while now
wow...i started this thread soon after the press release and people didn't bother to run until a couple of hours later...this stock is going back to the teens. not bashing here...delay after delay for the nda...this whole thing is over for acadia. i traded it when it was 7 bucks into the teens and didn't like it. and never look back.
delay in nda for the drug means there is a problem...not reliable...
so the ceo takes the blame and forced out the door. the drug is now in question. wake up.
pump and dump
wonder how much is each of bmy's cancer drug is worth...i see bmy shares to $100 next year.
know what you are talking about first before you post.
but then a premium would prevent others from coming in with a higher bid. but i think some people will lose money think it would be chased up...
1.31-1.37 billion in rev vs. 1.4 consensus...that is not good...eps is also guided lower than consensus
risk on!!
if you plan to hold for long term, why bother to look at it everyday?
the stock going to double in a few years. i have been in this stock for a while. following what is going on and know where it is going. i just keep adding from time to time.
wait for the pull back.
gild wins...obvious isn't it? gild is expected to do $16+ billion...vs abbv roughly $3 billion.
as af's article points out, it was a completely wrong move by abbv management, the ceo in particular...discount yes, but not like that...either way, they would not have been able to compete with gild...but giving up 40 percent plus vs., say 30 percent or whatever...esrx doesn't have alternatives...either gild or abbv...
i said it just a few weeks ago...abbv didn't have to do it...time to fire the ceo.
lots of upside remaining in this stock. ripe to start buying around 90 here
65 bucks
why bother to respond to that dumb post anyways? icpt's drug will be on the market sooner than expected with the fda designation. so just stop wasting time on the nonsense mb trash you read. pay attention to what the company has to report and update instead.

Ingenious Bluetooth Luggage Tag
By Gizmag Team
November 1, 2004
November 2, 2004 The folks at idfuel, one of the best design resources on the web, had an ideas contest recently for clever ways to use technology to make summer more fun.
The winner was a Bluetooth travel accessory and luggage tag which attaches to your baggage and beeps and notifies you when it is within range so you'll know when your bag is coming down the conveyor belt at the airport.
Known as the BlueBird, the tag also flashes to draw your attention but this is only likely to be useful until everyone gets one. That might happen, because it's a very clever idea!
The Bluebird can also track multiple bags to ensure you don't leave one behind, and it has the capacity to store large amounts of contact information which authorities can access via a Bluetooth enabled computer.Share

Book Review: All Art is Junk – Author R.A. Harris
All Art is Junk – by R.A. Harris Once upon a time, in the future, there lived a young girl named Lana who painted beautiful pictures with her paintbrush hair.

Local authorities have completed an investigation into the embezzlement of hundreds of thousands of dollars from a local business and have recommended that the U.S. Attorney GeneralŌĆÖs Office file charges.
The PD has recommended that multiple counts of burglary, grand theft, embezzlement, concealing stolen property, forgery, and making false record entries be filed against Dolores Kay ŌĆ£LolaŌĆØ Marsh, a former employee of Inyo-Mono Body Shop. The PD has also requested that the charges be filed in Inyo County Court.
Bishop Police Chief Chris Carter said Monday that no arrest has been made in the case. ŌĆ£Whether or not there will be an arrest depends on whether or not the Attorney GeneralŌĆÖs Office issues an arrest warrant,ŌĆØ he said. Carter explained that the Attorney GeneralŌĆÖs Office could issue a warrant, refuse to press charges or simply request that the accused attend a court date if charges are to be filed.
The PD opened its investigation into the alleged embezzlement of funds from Inyo-Mono Body Shop in April 2013. Investigators have spent the last year examining records as far back as 2005. ŌĆ£In the process, they have pored over thousands of pages of financial records, executed numerous search warrants, collected evidence and interviewed dozens of witnesses,ŌĆØ a press release states.
According Chief Carter, the PD concluded its investigation Monday, and based on the evidence gathered, investigators have determined that over the course of several years, Marsh embezzled in excess of $200,000 from the business.
The case is being forwarded to the Attorney GeneralŌĆÖs Office due to a conflict of interest in the Inyo County District AttorneyŌĆÖs Office. Carter explained the D.A. Tom Hardy had represented Marsh on this case before being appointed to serve as D.A. in September 2013.
According to Carter, the Attorney GeneralŌĆÖs Office said it may be awhile before it makes a determination on whether charges should be filed.
ŌĆ£ItŌĆÖs going to take them some time to review the case and the records,ŌĆØ Carter said. ŌĆ£There are literally thousands of pages.ŌĆØ
Carter also said that embezzlements and other financial crimes often require lengthy investigations. ŌĆ£With any kind of financial crimes, the case is complicated by the very nature of the crime itself. The longer time the crime occurred, the longer it takes to research all the records. TheyŌĆÖre extremely complex cases, because every record has to be researched.ŌĆØ And if money is missing, Carter said each dollar needs to be checked against business records and bank records.

Re: changing tire on trailer with boat on trailer
Yes the boat will shift, but it does that every time the trailer tilts on the road anyhow. I wouldn't stand under it but I would expect it to stay put.
WRT jacking the trailer, was it professionally built? If so, see if the maker can tell you the jacking points they recommend. If not, look for strong points near the axle, perhaps between the tires, or under the axle/suspension.
What I would most strongly suggest is buying a pair of jack stands that are rated well above the combined weight of the loaded trailer. Once you have one wheel up, about an inch off the ground, insert a jack stand just outboard of that wheel. Now repeat with the other wheel, so there are a pair of jackstands taking all the weight.
Assuming you loosened the lug nuts just a little beforehand, you can now spin 'em off, one tire at a time, and replace them. The tires should probably be chocked--all four of them, both forward and rear--to make sure the trailer doesn't shift while jacking.
As to the jacking points...BMW finally stole my idea, get a 3" copper pipe cap, find the jacking points, epoxy or 5200 the cap to each jacking point so now the jack pretty much has to be centered in the right place. Or, at least gob on some blaze orange paint to make it real obvious for next time.
And of course, you'll want to store those jack stands somewhere on the trailer. If you don't have a box of some kind attached to it already.
This is also the perfect time to install a Grease Buddy on each bearing, or at least, re-lubricate and inspect them.
If jacking, chocking, all that stuff is news to you? Even if you don't have an auto club membership, it might pay to have someone in the tow business top by, at their convenience, to show you just how to do it. If you feel any uncertainty about it--there's nothing like seeing it done the right way first. $20 and a cold six, someone ought to be willing to stop by when things are slow.
And if you put just a dab of antiseize on each wheel stud before you put the lug nuts back on? Lasts over ten years, and you'll never have a frozen lug nut again. You should, btw, also be using a torque wrench to put on lug nuts.

"Think Omen crossed with The Shining….."
Think Omen crossed with The Shining…..
Author Mike Wells bring us this interesting mix of baby horror in his book Baby Talk.
The book starts out with a horrific event of a man attempting to jump off a roof with a baby. A split second before going over, he tosses the baby at a nearby cop screaming about the baby being a demon. After the scene, the story then jumps back in time to tell us about what lead to the man to the roof. We soon find out that the man is indeed the baby's father, Neil. Neil is a bit of an ass but whom could blame him. He was a star athlete in school and headed towards his degree in chemistry until he gets his one night stand knocked up. Neil was raised right and wants to do the right thing, so he marries the girl. Unfortunately in doing so, his own father decided to stop paying for his schooling and now Neil finds himself the sole bread winner to his young wife and child. He's also having a hard time making ends meet. The only job he can find is that of a flower delivery driver for an unscrupulous couple. If all this wasn't enough, there's something very odd about his child. His wife, barely an adult, doesn't see it but when his 5 month old daughter starts talking to him, enough is enough! Poor Neil tries to talk to his wife about it but she thinks he's crazy, he himself thinks the same. Slowly but surely events unfold to drive Neil even more insane but is he really? Could his child be the source of it? Is she a demon in disguise or is Neil truly around the bend??
The author provided me with the audio version in exchange for my review, so I'll focus on the audio edition. The actor, Karin Allers, whom does the narration does a great job of separating out the characters voices from the narration and does a totally creepy job of creating baby Natasha's voice as well. The story itself flows nicely and she adds nicely to the authors' story. For fans of the horror genre, I think you'll enjoy this creepy little baby's story.
"I enjoyed it more than I thought I would."
I'm new to Dannika Dark and thought I'd start with this PNR. I liked it a lot and want to listen to the second one but the reviews kinda scare me.
I liked the history with the characters, the world building and I liked both the hero and heroine. Both were strong characters although I would have liked a little more at the end as far as the romance goes but maybe it will be covered more in other books? There was a lot of build up and than it was wrapped up quickly.
nice difference in male voice vs. female voice
The romantic ending
"I grinned like a loon through the whole book!"
Matthew!!! He's so freakin' perfect, broken, romantic and ......... OMG just, just, just..... no words....I have no words.
What was not to like?? He brought humor and sexiness to Matthew's POV.
All of it but especially the end......Vegas baby!!!
So I downloaded the audio version of Tamed this afternoon. It's not a long book but I totally love me some Emma Chase and gobble anything up by her because well, her male POV books are the Shyt! I loved me some Tangled and so when Tamed came out, I thought, I gotta get me some more Drew!! But guess what, this one isn't Drew but his BFF Matthew. Normally when a series spins off with another character, it's either totally not the same as the original and sometimes ruins the series or it adds much, much more to the world and characters that the author has created. Guess what, Tamed did just that! I didn't think Drew could be topped but I think I've fallen a bit in love with Matthew. In Tangled, we know Matthew as Drew's BFF and later we learn that he's dating Kate's BFF, Dee as well. Their story is more on the periphery of Tangled until we get a novella called Holy Frigging Matrimony in which we find out that Matthew is married. It's like WTF!!! So guess what, Tamed now fills in the gaps. It starts and parallels Tangled. We get to read about the whole gang in Tamed and see as Drew is beginning to court Kate and we get to see how Matthew and Dee's relationship skyrocket to marriage. It's a wonderful read and full of all the male POV, macheesmo, dating/relationship advice that we loved in Tangled but this one is also full of heart and romance as well. I grinned like a loon though the whole book and I think you will too! Tame your inner Negative Nancy to find true love with Matthew! Can be read as a stand alone but is enjoyed more as part of the series.
"A thrill a minute!"
The Drive-By Wife by Mike Wells is an instant thrill ride from start to finish and will keep you on the edge of your seat till the very end.
When wife, Cynthia decides she's tired of being neglected by her workaholic husband, an idea to start an affair with a fellow student starts to look very appealing. Before the affair even begins, Cynthia is accosted by a would-be rapist but guess who comes to her rescue……her husband?!?! Unfortunately the couple's luck turns from bad to worse. The couple is plagued with consequences from rash discussions and stalked by a trucker whom wants Cynthia for his very own. From blackmail to murder, will the couple survive or will this ultimately destroy them?
Filled with colorful characters and a series of unfortunate events, we follow the decline of a fledgling marriage and the hunt for a mysterious trucker as the story plows towards a climatic ending.
The author brings to life the spiraling decline of a loveless marriage but then throws in the twist of how one bad decision can completely change many lives in a moment then mix in the horror of a creepy stalker, it makes for a real awesome ride. I listened to this on audio book as a gift from the author and I must say, I absolutely loved the reading of it. The voice actor does a fabulous job of distinguishing the characters with wonderful voices and bringing life to the various characters as well as slowly building the suspense. If you're looking for a story full of mystery, suspense and just great storytelling, give this book a try!
"Freakin' loved it!!!"
Oh....My....Freakin'....God!!! The man's voice is sexy on a stick or yummy-goodness whispering sweet nothings all night long.
Ash!!!! Always and forever!!!
I LOVE ME SOME SHERRILYN KENYON!!! Now with that being said, having all her wonderful short stories in one location and read by the wonderful Fred Berman...... (swoon). That man has the sexiest damn voice and just brings life and total hotness to SK's wonderful characters. As always, the stories are full of hope, heartache and heroes. From the first story, I laughed, I cried and I went through the whole gambit of emotions along with the characters. And it didn't stop there, each story is unique. Some are in her Dark Hunter world and some are from others. It's just like the title says but instead of Dark Bites, I'd say they are yummy, yummy bites of PNR goodness for new and old SK fans!
Included novellas:
From the World of the Dark-Hunters:
House of the Rising Son - (Aricles & Bathymaas: you can find more about them in Styxx's book). OMG I absolutely loved this story and now I wanna go back and read Styxx again but I warn you, it's a tear jerker but of course, so was Styxx. This story lays the ground work for Styxx's romance, so if you haven't read Styxx yet, read this first. If you have read Styxx, you're gonna wanna read it again after reading this. This is everything you love about SK's stories in a short, fabulous package. FREAKIN' LOVED IT!
Phantom Lover - (V'Aidan's story) that was first in "Midnight Pleasures" - This is a Dream-Hunter story, sort of. It's a lovely story about redemption and true love. It's about a woman whom has terrible nightmares and the hero who comes to her rescue only to need saving himself. I read this one when it was originally published but it was wonderful revisiting the story again. Still loved it!
Winter Born - (Dante & Pandora's story: Were-Panthers) that was first in "Stroke of Midnight" - As someone who frequents Comic-Con, this story has always held a tiny piece of my heart although it's set at Dragon-Con, LOL. It's wonderfully descriptive in describing all the wonderful characters present at a Con. It has the fabulous Ash and Simi as well as Were-Panthers reeking havoc. Just a great fun story.
A Dark-Hunter Christmas - (Gallagher's story) originally posted online - Again, this story holds a special place in my heart and has one of the best lines from Simi ever "We have three kinds of family. Those we are born to, those who are born to us, and those we let into our hearts.". Just hits home, ya know? We also get to see how the DH's do Xmas as well as get some extra special Ash yumminess!
Until Death Do We Part - (Velkan's Story) originally published in "Love At First Bite" anthology - This is a classic Dark Hunter tale of one of Ash's Dark Hunters whom is a cross between the classic dracula and Romeo from Romeo and Juliet. I know right! Well unfortunately, his Juliet is also super pissed off at him and has been estranged from him for.....oh......five hundred years, LOL. You'll have to read it to find out what happens.
A Hard Day's Night Searcher - (Rafael's story) originally published in "My Big Fat Supernatural Wedding" anthology - Again, another DH story. This one is of Rafael, whom is an ex-pirate and he's had a major crush on a cute little OCD squire who's been sent to haul Rafael's own squire in before the counsel because his squire is as dumb as a door nail. Can Rafael make a deal to save his squire and spend time with his cute little OCD crush? Super cute novella with all the wonderful hi-jinks and fun as well as getting to know more about the squires.
Shadow of the Moon - (Fury's story: Werewolf) originally published in "Dead After Dark" - Fury meets his match and his mate! Ok, I love me some of SK's Were's and I know Savitar told Fury he had already met his mate but when this chick comes on stage, ugggggg! I'm totally not a fan of hers but I am his. Also I still want to just shoot her and be done with it but I did love visiting all the Were's again and Savitar steals the show again!
Fear The Darkness - originally a digital download for her fans. It is a little piece of Nick after his mother died. Just like the title indicates, this is Nick at his darkest moment. He's returned home after his long absence, only to find the aftermath of Katrina. It's very dark and depressing. It's really more like a couple of scenes that really don't go anywhere but just give you a glimpse of how depressed Nick is and how far he's willing to go for revenge.
Where Angels Fear to Tread - (Zeke) originally published in the "Blood Lite" anthology - Just a quick tale or beginning with the caveat: "Be careful what you wish for". The story or scene was so quick that I wasn't even sure what was going on or if it was part of the DH world. Anywho, it's nicely written but again, it's more the beginning of a story with not a lot of explanation. I don't know how else to explain it.
Redemption - A bonus scene from The Guardian - If you loved Seth and Lydia, you're gonna love this short scene. Savitar also makes a scene-stealing appearance as well. Definitely has that awwwww factor!
Unrelated Stories:
Love Bytes - originally published in "Naughty or Nice" - Loved this quick contemporary romance short story about a computer geek and his assistant. Super cute and super romantic.
Santa Wears Spurs -originally published in "All I Want for Christmas" anthology. Written as Kinley MacGregor - More of a historical romance based in the old west about a man torn between the woman he has always loved and his good for nothing brother. Not my favorite out of the bunch but I still liked it.
"A wonderful romantic thrill ride!"
Lust, Money & Murder by Mike Wells is a wonderful mystery, suspense, thriller with a dash of romance thrown in that will keep you on the edge of your seat for the whole ride. I was actually given a review audio copy for my honest review, so I'll make mention to the audio version as well but first, a brief synopsis.
Our heroine is named Elaine Brogan. We follow her life from child to adult. As a child, she had a knack for puzzles. Her father was completely devoted to her and gave her everything he could and couldn't afford. Elaine's life seemed to revolve around money and when a tragedy strikes, she goes into the Secret Service to seek out her own revenge but when that goes awry, she transfers to Bulgaria. While there, she finds herself working closely with her boss, Nick, who's smart, handsome and roguish. By Nick's side, Elaine finds her groove and quickly makes a name for herself as the girl who can spot fake money a mile away and everyone in the agency wants to use her but getting her away from Nick will take an act of God because she's falling in love with him, fast! Ok so maybe not an act of God but how about bad guys whom want to use her for their own nefarious purposes. Soon Elaine is sent on wild goose chases across the globe, no one is to be trusted and survival is the only goal.
I'm personally not usually a mystery type of person. I love my strong heroines', my alpha males and my HEA which usually aren't in mystery books but OMG is it ever in this one. The story is told from Elaine's POV and through her eyes, we see a life of naiveté through rose colored glasses but also someone who's brilliant in her own right. Yes she has her moments of extreme stupid but don't we all? She does definitely learn from those moments and tries not to fall into the same traps. She's also is a survivor. She doesn't rely on the hero to come rescue her. There's moments in the story that she seems backed into a corner with no way out but then she finds the little crack in the window to rescue her own bacon.
If you can't tell, I loved the characters, the action is high and the HEA is wonderful. The audio reader is absolutely brilliant as well. She brings life to the book with each character having a distinct voice and it's delightful to follow along. I honestly think that for this book, I would recommend the audio version over reading it on your own.
Definitely highly recommended!
"Great addition to the Coveted series!"
Let me just say this, I really enjoyed Collected. I definitely love the Coveted series so far and can't wait for the next one, Kept to come out (due 11/27/12), so this was a great little appetizer to keep me tied over until then. Collected is a great little prequel/novella that takes place 7 months before the first book Coveted. Nat has a bad case of OCD and collects holiday decorations to help bandage some pretty soul deep issues. She wins an online auction for a figurine and is supper excited about it. When it's due to arrive, it's stolen off her doorstep. Now as a collector myself, I totally can sympathize with her. I know I've been driven half mad waiting for something to come in the mail and become a total witch when it doesn't arrive when it should. I can't imagine my "precious" being stolen from my doorstep, the nerve! Anywho, in order to get it back, the perp makes a bargain with her and chaos ensues.
Shawntelle writes a fun, fast-paced story that anyone who collects can surely sympathize with and for those that don't collect, well you'll love the story too.
It's a wonderful story that basically boils down to the moral....be careful what you buy at an online auction, you might just get more then you bargained for.
Update: Shawntelle was sweet enough to ask Toot's Book Reviews to review the new audio version of this story. The audio version is narrated by Audio Élan, whom does a wonderful job bringing werewolf Nat to life. Audio expertly coaxes the listener into Nat's world via a mixed bag of beautifully narrated voices. As a frequent audio book listener, I know how important a good voice actor is to a story. They can either add to it or in some cases really, really ruin it but that is not the case here. Audio does a fabulous job bring depth and dimension to this unique world built by Shawntelle Madison. Definitely worth the download.
"Crazy for the Redhead!"
Ok so here's my confession. I discovered Alice Clayton a few months ago. I read Wallbanger first (her third book) and fell in love. I knew about the Redhead series but it didn't really appeal to me. I had it in my little pea brained mind that there was NO WAY Alice could capture the brilliance of Wallbanger and seeing Redhead was her first few books, there was just NO WAY they could be even half as good!!! As you can tell, I absolutely loved Wallbanger and didn't want to ruin that experience by going backwards (you all know what I mean? Sometimes authors catch lightening in a bottle that can't be recreated). So when I met Alice Clayton this summer in Las Vegas, I told her how much I loved Wallbanger and she asked if I had read her "Redhead" series. I did tell the truth and I sheepishly said no. She suggested that I do so and I agreed but as you all know, my TBR pile is hella big! So while traveling for work (many, many months later) I picked up the audio versions of this series and........*to my shagrin* I totally love it!
I gobbled those two books up. I didn't sleep last night because I needed to hear the end of it but guess what, it's not the end of the series *does happy dance* there is going to be a third book out in December *sings Hallelujah with an angel choir*
So let me tell you a bit about my thoughts on Alice Clayton and then the Redhead series. First, Alice writes like no one else! If you want to read a book CR from a woman's POV, read a CR, any CR and you've got it but if you want to read a book from the POV from inside your BFF's head, the friend who's totally crazy, cool and a bit neurotic, then read Alice's books. I swear she placed a tape recorder inside a few of my friend's heads and wrote it all down, LOL. The books are funny, snarky, sexy, fun and fresh. I absolutely adore these books! If you've read her Wallbanger book or Tangled by Emma Chase (male POV but funny as hell), you'll love these as well. Super, duper, don't miss these great CR books!!!
So what's with the Redhead? Ok now that you know how clever I think Alice's writing is, let me also tell you, you're gonna love this Redhead. She's almost like a modern day I Love Lucy.
This series follows the fresh new start in the life of Grace Sheridan (think Lucy). Grace tried her hand at being a star in her early twenties but it just didn't pan out. She left Hollywood with less stars in her eyes and went about trying to find her way into a normal life with a normal job and a little wiser from her crack at stardom but that wasn't in the cards for her either. After a few years away from the bright lights, she has pulled on her big girl panties and is going to give Hollywood one more try with her BFF as her manager, what could go wrong?
Back in Hollywood now, her BFF Holly is throwing a party for all her clients and wants Grace to meet the next "it" guy in town and who's one of her clients as well, Jack. He's going to be staring in a new movie that's kinda like an erotic Doctor Who for women about a sexy time traveling science guy. He's kinda David Tennant meets Robert Pattenson meets young Justin Timberlake. Basically he's totally blond, beautiful and British. Grace doesn't stand a chance!
Anywho, in the first book, Jack and Grace hit it off. They begin a very hot and heavy relationship. These two are absolutely, adorably, CRAZY in love but Grace is a bit paranoid about their differences, mainly Jack is 24 and Grace is 33. In Hollywood, she's practically robbing the cradle, not to mention that Jack's career is about to blow up and everyone is gonna want a piece of him. To add to Grace's neurosis, everyone says that him being unattached will be best for his career, so their relationship has to stay on the down-low. As his career takes off, everyone wonders who is that redhead Jack's been seen with all over Hollywood with, The Unidentified Redhead (hence the books name).
In the second book, we find Grace rekindling an old friendship, her own career starts to take off and she's forced to move to New York. Jack and Grace's relationship is tested but phone sex, sexting and red-eye flights work wonders until your heart and mind go to war.
The series as a whole, so far, is chalk full of fun locals, quirky characters, and all out slap-stick real moments that you'll swear Alice was spying on you and your friends.
If you want a laugh out loud fun and a truly unique CR, then these books are an absolute MUST READ!!!
Oh on a side note: I did enjoy the audio version but I do wish the reader would have done a British accent for Jack. Sometimes it was hard to differentiate between what was Grace's voice and what was Jack's but all in all, her enthusiasm for the character came through enough that it over rode the need for Jack's voice to be portrayed accurately.
"Just awesome!"
Yes definitely!
too many to pick just one
Charley and Reyes
Yep, only took me about 2 days
I just discovered Darynda Jones a few months ago. I went to RWA 2012 and I kick myself for not knowing about her then cuz I would have totally been all fan girl all over her. After RWA I read their website about who won certain category awards. As always I was interested most in who won the PNR category and wouldn't you know it, it was Darynda Jones. I figured that was a good enough endorsement to read her books. So I picked up the first Charley Davidson book, First Grave On The Right and OMG I found a new fave!!! I gobbled them up but that was before my blog, so I never reviewed them on here, sorry. I did read before I blogged but there's too many books before my precious blog to go back and review them all. Anywho, I'm totally getting sidetracked. So when I found out that Darynda Jones was coming out with a new YA series also (what is with everyone starting YA stuff this month) I was totally excited because out of everyone, she probably writes the best dialog and it would totally fit for teens and guess what, I was right! I totally love this new series even though it deals with Angels and stuff of that sort rather then my beloved Vampires, Shapeshifters and Zombies but I digress, I did actually love this book. After reading so many YA recently that I was almost rolling my eyes at having to read another one and thinking "what more can they bring to the genre?" Darynda Jones brings a fresh take on it. There is still a teen girl and hawt guys and of course the ever present BFF but other then that it's fun and fresh. There is no love triangle for our main characters, which is refreshing but possibly one for our secondary characters. Each character is a living breathing entity all their own and the story moves flawlessly through them. The word play is witty and very realistic to the characters, seeing as how they are teens. Some YA books you read the characters come off as more adults trapped in teens bodies but not here, these characters truly come off as teens or at least teens from what I remember being (ah the memories or horrors, how ever I choose to view them, LOL). I definitely recommend this book to all teens and adults. I did not see any issues that I'd put an age limit on with this one. There's only a few kisses and that's it. I do have to say though, I'm a little creeped out by the main hero Jared and our heroin Lorelei being an item but I won't go into more then that. When you read the book, you'll understand. Other then that, which I'm sure I'll get over, the book is a must read! Love, love, loved it!!!

Will my Lavender bloom again in a month?
I have several large lavender plants in my front yard that are in full bloom - they look like little pineapples with thin petals at the top that look like ears. I am in Seattle, WA. We are going to be selling our house, and it is going on the market in about 5 weeks. If I cut off all of the blooms right now, will it bloom a second time by then? I would love to have the lavender in bloom when people come and look at the house, and if 5-6 weeks is what it takes than I will go out there tonight and cut down the flowers.
Also, if I am going to be cutting down the flowers, is there anything I can do with them other than putting them in a vase? Can they be dried? I am a complete novice when it comes to this, and I am under a timeline due to our house sale, so any information you can give me is greatly appreciated. Thanks!!
I doubt they'd put out new shoots and bloom again in just 5 weeks, even assuming constant sunny weather, which may not be the case with Seattle ;)
However, the flower heads may very well still be looking good in that time, so I'd keep 'em on.
Yes, they dry beautfully and keep their scent, so you could create a bouquet in a vase for visitors.

NittanyNation week in review
May, 12, 2013
By Josh Moyer | ESPN.com
NittanyNation takes a look at this past week's Penn State football news and what you might have missed:
- PSU welcomed two new commits on Friday, landing safety Marcus Allen and then linebacker Jared Wangler later on. Allen has come a long way since playing JV linebacker, while Wangler's coach said his work ethic helps separate the linebacker. Wangler also later recounted his commitment day in depth.
- Five-star CB Jabrill Peppers is down to just four schools -- and it turns out PSU is one of the remaining choices. He'll visit Penn State on May 18.
- The coach of Penn State recruit Daquan Worley called his player fast, tough and physical . Worley also talked about his commitment and said he wasn't always a lock for PSU .
- 2015 CB John Reid already has double-digit scholarship offers , but he said he's nowhere close to naming any favorites.
- ESPN 150 CB Dravon Henry hasn't seen his recruitment get any easier since he named a top four about two months ago.
- Joe Schad reports that Steven Bench is considering a transfer to NC State in addition to Mississippi State and South Florida.
- Bill O'Brien said fans should not expect a "mass exodus" anytime soon. And Adam Rittenberg writes that O'Brien is also embracing his role in PSU's outreach.
- Jared Shanker took a lighthearted look at recruiting pitches in the Big Ten, including what each team is selling and what each team is missing.
- PSU is the first major program to start recruiting 2015 QB Ryan Brand , and the rising junior is thrilled.
- 2015 LB Jerome Baker may live in Ohio, but he said he actually grew up a Penn State fan in this past week's edition of "5 Questions."
- Incoming run-on kicker Chris Gulla addressed his chance at starting and what fans can expect from him at the position.
- DT Jeremiah Clarke named his top six schools and PSU made the cut.
- Like a lot of B1G teams, PSU is after a 2015 OT who is already 6-foot-8 and 295 pounds .
- We took a closer look at Penn State's big board when it comes to DBs .

Ronn Torossian: Celebrate Heroic Sheldon Adelson & Miriam Adelson
Sheldon Adelson: is a great entrepreneur, philanthropist and patriot.
- What does President Obama say about a man who grew up dirt poor, slept in the same room as his parents and whole family and has by his own hard, honest work taking risks and making many sacrifices today become one of the wealthiest men in the world?
- What does the American President say about a man who not only embraces equality— but his wife owns 26.9% of his company? (He owns 26.3% and his wife is involved with all aspects of his business. One wonders how many of Obama's liberal donors embrace these values — surely not uber-Obama donor, 82 year old George Soros who recently married a 40 year old.)
- What does Obama say of a man whose medical foundation donates hundreds of millions of dollars annually to: a model of open: and highly integrated collaboration research projects dedicated to healing cancer research, immunological diseases, neural repair and rehabilitation?
- What does the American President say of a man who says as his country is threatened: "I really don't care about Iran — I care about the future of my country"? (Contrast that with Obama's billionaire Soros who said recently:: "The main obstacle to a stable and just world order is the United States."
- What does Obama say of a man who is the largest private donor to the Holocaust Museum in the world?
This week in a disgusting, unfair and inappropriate gesture the Obama campaign issued a statement against Sheldon Adelson. Adelson is a patriotic hero who should be celebrated for all he has done for this great nation. Adelson is also a private citizen — should private citizens expect to be attacked by Obama if they "dare" to oppose him? Will he next sentence people to Guantanamo Bay if they oppose him?
Adelson once asked as his wealth increased,: "Why is it fair that I should be paying a higher percentage of taxes than anyone else?" Is there something wrong with a hard-working man wanting to pay less taxes? Adelson donates hundreds of millions — shouldn't he be allowed to pick his charities in a world of free enterprise?
In their fundraising material,: the Obama campaign said: "We don't have Sheldon Adelson, and with all due respect, we don't want him." Can anyone believe they don't want his money?
Sheldon Adelson is a hero who should be thanked by all Americans for everything he does and has done for our great country.

We love beer. That's why we're devoting an entire year to discovering (and drinking) cold ones from near and far. Know of a beer worth shouting out? Send us a note at firstname.lastname@example.com.
The black IPA is still a relatively new style in the world of beer, so it's difficult to say that a brewer got it "right" when we're still trying to hash out exactly what a black IPA should be, but let's just put this out there: Sierra Nevada got it right. This terrific hoppy black ale has the kind of light, drinkable body you'd find in a pale ale—many other black IPAs are fuller bodied, like a hoppy porter—while still retaining the sharp roast you want in the style. The bright, pine-scented hops are invigorating, and the touches of coffee are nicely offset by hints of charred caramel and toast. Best of all, it drinks easy. This brew by the legendary Sierra Nevada may not be around forever, so grab some at London Grill.

Like all the toys I bought at BaxterBoo this year, this was also a gift for someone else's cat. So, I don't know how it will be received on the other end. However, I can report that my cats were obsessed with it and I had trouble keeping it away from them long enough to wrap it. It must smell really great to them :)
Cute little owl, just the right size for kitties playtime!

I love travelling and look forward to discovering more of the world with my husband!

ANY bass fishermen (or women) in here?
Whaddya got for a boat? I'll show you mine, if you show me yours!! :-)
I like Muskies. LOL.
No boat for me at present. Have to pay for my kitchen. Year after next maybe.
Hey Bill, I got skunked in Canada, can you believe that? Had the hooks of a big bucktail in what was easily a 40+ lb. fish, and she got off right next to the boat. Didn't hook another one for the rest of the week. Eagle Lake kicked my butt.
Check out the huge musky in this link. Caught last Friday on Mille Lacs in Minnesota. It's what musky fisherman dream of.
Here is a link that might be useful: Huge musky from MN caught 10/6.
Hey Bill,
Thanks for the Oswego, NY tip. I'll have to look in on that.
We've got no boat yet :( , but our ice fishing shanty is getting dusted off - UGH! (I'm a fair weather fisherperson.)
Hubby's been having luck up in North East, Pa. for steelhead, we haven't been out for bass in awhile.
If your ever over in NW Pa. look us up well set you up for some nice bass fishing.
MH-- They say the bass is the fish of a thousand catches, and that muskie fishing makes bass fishing look unbelieveably simple. Just the fact that you got one of those monsters up to the side of your boat I'd say is an accomplishment! To tell you the truth, I've never even SEEN a muskie. The only places around here where they can be found is up in what's called the northern territories, up near the Canadian border. Other than that, the best I can do around here is some good sized pike.
Jackie-- where's he fishing? The Susquehanna (or however it's spelled!)? The only place I've fished in that area is the Deleware Water Gap on a white water canoe trip years ago when I was a teenager. Good smallmouth!!
Hotdiggety-- where abouts are you?
(not even STRIPED bass?) :-)
lots of bass fishing here,this summer no hurricanes so got some fishin in the evenings,cooled off enough here so getting some really nice specks now,far as boats go sold our old family boat,we just use our son's ol' trusty jon boat,trolling up to the weed beds& edge of the lilly pad's we had a blast this summer!
Hey Bill, I'm in NW Pa., Forest County. The bass fishing is in Buzzard Swamp, check out this link!
Allegheny National Forest Campgrounds
Jackie-- I've been down to Lake Arthur! When I was a kid in Boy Scouts, we went to a national jamboree at Moraine State Park! I seem to remember some good shore live bait fishing first thing in the morning!
hotdiggety-- I'd GLADLY trade the bass for the sea trout, redfish, and snook!!
flsun-- where abouts are you? Florida's where I STARTED bass fishing-- I lived in Homestead for 3 years back about 10 years ago, and my first time bass fishing was at L-29 on the Tamiami Trail! 2 hours into playing with a texas rigged worm, I had a 4 pound plus bass in the boat. I don't know who was hooked more-- me or the bass!!
Bill, check this link out. This musky is even bigger, and was caught on the SAME day (one day prior to full moon) as the MN fish. It was caught on Lake Nippissing (sp?) in Canada.
Sorry to keep disrupting the bass thread, but these are two very special fish. I've personally met the guide whose client caught the MN fish. Super guy, and he's starting to get pretty famous in the musky world.
It's an exciting time to be taking this sport up. It seems more and bigger fish are being caught due to good management of the fisheries, and more importantly catch and release. I just wish the big one I had on in Canada would have waited toi be completely caught before the release took place. LOL.
Bill, are you in Maine? Muskies have snuck into the fishery there, I know, and have not been welcomed in the past as fishermen there felt they were eating the native species. There is even a tournament somewhere in the state, which was held as a way to kill as many muskies as possible. Due to some education initiatives by Musky groups, I believe that way of thinking is beginning to change.
I am heading to far northern WI 10/25 for five days of cold weather musky hunting. Should be interesting as I have never really fished in the cold, and it could easily be snowing and in the 20's and 30's while we're on the water. Best time to catch the big girls.
I like Muskies, everything else is just bait.
Here is a link that might be useful: Huge Canadian Musky caught 10/6
Hi all! The hubby and I live on a spring fed lake on the edge of the Ocala National Forest where we fish from our 16 foot Triumph Sportsman. A wonderful boat for fishing in Florida with a shallow draft and a stable ride. The ropalene [sp?] hull has taken many hits from stumps and logs without a mark. The bass in our lake are a blast in the spring with 5 to 7 pound fish being a daily occurance. The big ones have slowed down with the summer heat but the smaller 2 to 3 pounders are still biting in the grass mats. Our lures of choice are, in the spring top water plugs and in the grass mats weedless frogs, walked across the top.
When we get "froggie" we haul the boat out of the lake [we have a ramp in our back yard] and fish the Ocklawaha River where the bass action is good too. If you ever come to central Florida I highly reccomend the river as it is undeveloped and a wonderful winding ride even when the fish aren't biting!
Good luck to anyone wetting a line this weekend for whatever type of fish you wish to catch! nova
I feel bad since I rambled on about muskies. Any of you bassers see this little bass caught in CA last March?
Seems the FL strain introduced in CA is thriving.
I like muskies, everything else is just bait.
Here is a link that might be useful: Little CA bass from 3/06
Muskies have snuck into the fishery there, I know, and have not been welcomed in the past as fishermen there felt they were eating the native species.
I know there are a few lakes WAY up north that have muskies in em, but I haven't heard anything about trying to erradicate them. Now, Pike are a different matter altogether. They're a little more widespread, and because they get almost as big as muskies, they'll clean a lake out of salmon, trout, and bass pretty efficiently, and The official position of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife is that if you catch a pike and don't intend to take it home, PLEASE throw it up on the shore. Doesn't matter if it's a little 12" pencil, or a 48" monster. They want to get as many out of the water as possible.
As for the bass caught out in Ca., I know alot of people that even though IFGA won't recognise it, they still consider it the new record.
Robin-- WHere abouts in Miane? I'm in Bridgton!! Mine's nothing special, although that's changing a little at a time! I don't have any pics of the rear deck, which has already been recarpeted, but here's the bow, heading out at blastoff for the sept. club tournament:
And here's the rest of the boat (when I bought it, I couldn't believe Bayliner made a bassboat!):
That one's an old pic-- you can see where the trolling motor got changed out and the electronics added.
Nova-- The closest I've fished to where you are is the Harris Chain. I fished a club tourney there one time. Other than that, I've fished Okeechobee several times out of Clewiston. Most of my GOOD fishing happened on the Tamiami Trail and Alligator Alley.
Hi Bill - I am an native Floridaian who grew up fishing in the Clewiston and Belle Glade area. Some of my fondest memories of childhood are being in my Dad's wooden jon boat with an old Johnson Seahorse motor puttin' around the area catching "Lunkers" and bream. He also taught me the joys of flyfishing on the Fisheating Creek which is also in that area. Unfortuantly, water quality and levels in that area have dropped alarmingly and, to me, the "good ole days" there are gone. nova
I've still got friends that are members of the club I used to belong to (Homestead Ambassadors), and they say Okeechobee's coming back-- that for a while fertilizer runoff was really ruining things, and in some areas, still is, but things are starting to change for the better. They've told me that the biggest PITA with Okeechobee is the eurasian milfoil.
Bill,Im between crooked lake&lake buffum,south of lake wales,The boy's like to go down to Clewiston& Bass some,Kevin post on about them muskie, all tho I have lived here about 20 yrs,I grew up on lake michigan,many summers &a childhood friend's cottage in Michigan we grew up swimming with them muskie:)
I just sold my bass boat. It was an older bass tracker, 1989. Worked well for many years, still does actually... sold it a friend of our family.
We needed to change to a boat that my hubby can walk around. He has some health problems with his circulation so he can no longer sit for any extended periods of time. I cannot remember the last time that we went fishing together.
I've been thinking about getting a pontoon boat or a deck boat, something that a person can walk around on and elevate their feet.
I'll tell ya-- you can get a real nice good sized bassboat for what you'll pay for a new pontoon boat.
The 21' 2003 Ranger that follows behind this 6'x8' front fishing deck belongs to a good friend of mine, and is currently for sale for $20K. That's a 3 year old boat that originally went for $45K.
Oh, and the boat's in perfect shape.
That does look like a nice boat... but unfortunately my hubby would not be able to spend a large amount of time in a boat like that.
I still have 17' john boat, for those times when I need to troll for walleye.
Besides, bass are just green carp... we all know that gar are the true sport fish...
No,not a member, but we have posted alot pictures on their site. My family is big into catching gar right now.
After years of bass fishing, then years of walleye fishing, then years of muskie fishing, eventually you just move on to the next best thing... currently we are on a gar fishing craze. In a few years we will probably have moved on to something else...
Well it's true there are a number of fish that probably fight harder than muskies; pike, stripers, steelhead, and I guess gar. But a musky is, well, a musky. Beautiful, majestic, difficult to find and catch, they also love to follow to the boat, and when they follow your bait around and around that figure eight, it's enough to stop your heart. When they smack the crap out of a topwater at night is pretty awesome, too.
The gar here in WI are skinny and ugly, and I don't want them bothering me. They can stay out of site with their cousins, the small pike. I don't mind a big pike, but those small ones are a pain.
I like muskies.
I haven't been fishing musky for long, but know plenty of people that get them to bite on the second or third follow, sometimes with the same bait, sometimes with a different throwback bait.
I wouldn't wait all day after a follow, but a couple extra casts will sometimes induce them to strike.
If not, depending on the aggression shown during the follow, you leave, then come back to the spot later with a different presentation.
I'm leaving tomorrow midday for a fall trophy hunt near the WI/UP border. Freezing temps means lots of warm clothes, slower moving baits, and a couple big fat suckers on quick strike rigs hanging over the side.
I can't wait.
By the way, a few musky guys I know from OH, KY, MO, etc. inform me that gar are in fact a blast to catch. Hard to get the iron into their bony mouths from what I'm told. Somebody also mentioned they can be caught with a frayed piece of nylon rope?
I like muskies.
Yup, frayed rope is what is all about... a nylon rope, frayed and then brushed smooth... A few glitter strands for flash. Gar will hit a bait on the top of the water like a large bass. They are hard to land... and they will dance like a bass also. Gar have razor sharp teeth that stick out the sides of their mouths so they can slice line easy. They thrash from side to side - you have to wear thick leather gloves to handle them.
We started catching gar when trying to fish for northern, using a bluegill and large bobber... we thought wouldn't it be fun to actually land one of those and then the hunt was on... which led us to the rope lures.
We have caught gar using bluegill on large bobber, but the ropes are easier to land them with... hookless fishing is great for kids.
Every spring before bass season starts here in New Hampshire, they have a compition on who can catch the largest fish. This is all fine and good but it's taking the male bass from their job of protecting the eggs. Why do they do this and hurt the population ???? Makes me want to throw rocks at the boat .... or worse.
I just answered this in the thread you started, but one thing that just occured to me rereading your post-- People who are going after big fish aren't going to want the males, anyway!! They're looking for the big females off to the side of the beds!! Not the little males!! I know if it were me, and I was sight fishing, the males would be more of a hinderance than anything else!!
