Another weak low center appeared to be located across far NW MO which seems to be a reflection of a couple of waves now moving across NE/KS border. Those are acting to produce weak convergence across the area and along with heating and a weak boundary I suspect we could see isolated convection late this afternoon with some gusty winds given around 1000j/kg of cape and unidirectional wind profile. Additional isolated/sct convection could also occur near the boundary later this evening as lift from waves now across southern/western KS generate more storms across southern KS. As a result, we will keep low chc pops across the south through midnight for this scenario. Weds should be dry for the most part as weak ridging moves across the area. The sfc front should mix back to the north bringing dewpoints in the 60s with it by midday however it appears that the best moisture convergence and lift will be focused across western KS by late in the day as another upper wave emerges out of the central Rockies. .LONG TERM...(Wednesday Night through Tuesday) Issued at 225 PM CDT TUE MAY 26 2015 From the period Wednesday night through Saturday morning, the pattern continues to favor rounds of thunderstorms with warm and humid conditions. By Wednesday evening, the models are in good agreement concerning the overall situation with west southwest flow aloft and surface low pressure over the high plains of southeast Colorado and a surface warm front into the southern plains. Thunderstorms should develop in the upslope region during the afternoon and then move across the plains Wednesday night. Thunderstorms should be supported by a decent low-level jet and and moisture. It is unclear how this will progress and at this point will forecast a mid range POP for this potential. The upper air pattern on Thursday and Friday is very busy. The upper low initially over the pacific northwest drifts southeast into the central plains by Friday evening. In the southern stream, pieces of shortwave energy eject northeast ahead of upper low across the southern and central plains. The airmass over eastern Kansas will be very moist by Thursday with precipitable water values of around 1.5 inches according to both the 12 UTC GFS/NAM. With deep moisture in place and instability, expect showers and thunderstorms to develop with available forcing during this period. The storms should be efficient precipitation generators given the moisture plume. To the north in the northern stream, a shortwave moving across the lakes should drag a cold front south across the northern plains and into Nebraska by Friday morning. The shortwave energy moving into the central plains moves through Friday and Friday night and dragging the cold front through eastern Kansas. After another round showers and storms with this system, we should dry-out for the the remainder of the forecast period. The combination of drier air in association with the surface ridge and building 500 MB heights supports a generally dry forecast which will be a welcome relief. Expect below normal temperatures after the frontal passage and then rebounding by the end of the extended. && .AVIATION...(For the 06Z TAFs through 06Z Wednesday Night) Issued at 1133 PM CDT TUE MAY 26 2015 Models hint at a weak wave coming out across central KS Wednesday afternoon as moisture returns northwest into the high plains. Forcing looks to be on the weak side and surface features to focus convection are ill defined. So there may be convection by Wednesday afternoon, but predictability is to low to include a mention of convection in the forecast at this time. Otherwise, VFR conditions are expected to prevail through the morning hours. && .TOP WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...NONE. && $$ SHORT TERM...Omitt LONG TERM...Johnson AVIATION...Wolters

"Frankly, it sucked," Newman tells the Voice of his shot at cable immortality, ranking it "somewhere below Porky's Revenge." As many disappointed reviewers noted, Porn 'n Chicken featured only brief nudity; its zingy exposition wilted into college-comedy clichés involving corrupt, nasty administrators, and the importance of finding yourself.
Did Porn 'n' Chicken, in any of its incarnations, exploit women? The Comedy Central character of "Polly Morphous," a feisty bisexual feminist and budding porn star, was partially based on a woman in the class of 2002 whom the male founders of PnC filmed in the library, in a lesbian scene involving a strap-on and fisting. (She played an initiate into a secret society.) This woman was one of the only PnC members to be quoted under her own name in the campus papers, while others used handles like "Dallas Everhard" and "Sweet Jimmy the Benevolent Pimp." A self-proclaimed sex activist, she described the porn performance to the Yale Daily News "as a sort of self-challenge," a very public way to confront "a personal history of fear and shame."
But not long after The Staxxx filming session, the real Polly was cut out of the picture. Reporters, nearly all of them men, covered the four founding PnC fathers with a wink and a slap on the backTime's Joel Stein even brought porn star Sydney Steele to a PnC meetingwithout mentioning the woman who had done the dirty work. When it was time to make a deal with Comedy Central, the guys all received associate producer credits; the girl didn't even get money for her life rights. (She refused to be interviewed for this article.)
Even without a secret handshake or ties to the Rockefellers, the boys with boners are profiting from their self-made network. Currently Newman, the "producer" of The Staxxx, who started and sold two tech companies and became a venture capitalist while still an undergraduate, is CEO of Cyan Pictures, an independent film production company on Park Avenue; Spoelman is his VP of finance; Ponsoldt, a Columbia film student and a camera intern on Porn 'n Chicken, directed Cyan's first film over the summer, a short about Oxy-Contin addiction in Appalachia entitled Coming Down the Mountain.
Porn 'n' Chicken, it emerges, is nothing less than Skull and Bones: the Next Generation. After all, sex, self-promotion, media savvy, and entertainment have far more allure these days than death, secrecy, obscurity, and politics. "Every few months," Newman confesses to the Voice, "I head over to the Yale Club to watch old men in tweed jackets with corduroy elbow patches drink scotch and ramble about . . . the fun time they had last weekend on Buckley's yacht. Half of me is terrified I'm slowly turning into them, and the other half is secretly hoping I am." Conspiracy theories may come and go, but the transmission of power, man to man, is still an open secret.

Thats a really nice debugger nice job! Sadly the engine i work on doesnt has any sort of debugger so i gotta go trough the typical log way " Lets hope it gets past this message so i can guess it did worked" heh
Project Zomboid is an open-ended zombie-infested sandbox. It asks one simple question – how will you die? Whether surviving in Knox County free-roam or controlling Indie Stone mascot Baldspot in his quest to save his injured wife Kate – death is always a certainty. Quite how long you manage to put it off is another matter…
Nobody ever expects it, do they? The Zomboid Inquisition? Apart from maybe the PZ community who collated their questions over the weekend for today's Mondoid, and merrily clicked 'like' on the ones they'd most like to see answered.
Posted by Batsphinx on Aug 19th, 2013
We'll get into our own variant of AMA (APZA? ATISA?) in a second – but first a few words on our next update and general Zomboidy news.
Lemmy has been taking a couple of days off NPCs (woah there, don't worry) to improve the Lua debugging support in the game. The reason for this is the lack of a debugger in Lua, which means that tracking down bugs is nothing short of a nightmare. Instead of being able to climb into the code and poke around while it's running, you're left resorting to printing messages out saying 'the code got in here' and 'if it went here then it gone wrong ARGH!' - and watching for said messages when testing the game.
As such, we've developed a fully functioning debugger that sits directly in Project Zomboid. This allows us to step through the lua code line by line, see which way the code goes, inspect exactly what's going on in there, line by line, instead of infuriating guesswork.
Words cannot express how much time this will save us in the long run: we'll likely have gained the development time back 1000-fold before the end of the project. This genuinely could shave weeks off feature development.
The idea of writing an entire debugger never occurred to us because it seemed such a ludicrously complicated and long-winded job, but in a moment of madness the task was taken on and (after a full 36 hours of no sleep and numerous coffees and energy drinks) it's already massively massively useful to the devs and modders alike. This makes us happy.
In case you're interested, here's a vid of it in action!
Romain's work on build 16, meanwhile, continues apace – with the growing changelist for the next public test build found here. We'll let you know when it starts to look Desura-bound, which'll hopefully be soon.
And so, without much further adieu, here's the very first 'Ask Project Zomboid Developers The Indie Stone Anything!' (APZDTISA!) These questions and answers are ordered, pretty much, by how popular they were – so feel free to get less interested the further we go!
Q. "How is West Point coming along?" from nasKo.
Q. "Any news about constant water source other than wells?" from jhepong24.
Q. "How is West Point coming along?" from nasKo.
A. I think these two questions can be answered in a screenshot:
This is taken from the more outskirt-y bits of West Point, and in the top right you'll notice something interesting. (Mash)
Q. "I would just love to hear some more general info about how the whole npc-system is developing." from RoboMat.
A. At the moment we have NPC groups being governed by a leader, going on looting missions and organizing safehouse defence, with a new combat system in the works. The issues at the moment are just making everything work solidly, leaving no room for characters to end up getting stuck while trying to walk somewhere and freezing. We're adding content, but at the same time trying to tie up any of the loose ends and bugs that'd see NPCs break.
Once this is done we should see the speed of NPC development balloon dramatically. The further we go, the more tools we have at our disposal to add content quickly. It's really exciting but at the same time has to be done right, so we're not rushing it out there. (Lemmy)
Q. "When will fire be back?" from Zomboider.
A. Fire will be back soon (ish)! It's a big priority for us since, for obvious reasons, it's required for the tutorial to work properly. As you saw from the video a couple of weeks back, the tutorial is under heavy development, so hopefully you won't have to wait for too long. (Lemmy)
Q. "How are your plans and ideas for new Jobs / Clothing and weapons you plan to add? Gives us some sugar " from Gammlernoob.
A. Definitely, just a question of getting round to it. I have a bunch of glasses made and waiting to be exported, so that'll be the first set of accessories. Then after that, we'll look into doing more clothing types, since we'll need some for some of the characters as the story expands. (Binky)
Q. "What is the situation surrounding the map modding tools? Really can't wait to start doing the only thing I'm good at - making maps." From AkHolic.
A. The mapping tools are rather feature-rich now thanks to some stellar work by Easy-Pickins which means that we've become much more efficient at producing map cells, to the extent that Mash frequently catches me up - producing content for the cells far more quickly than I can produce the terrain. (We might spotlight Easy's work in a blog all to its own in future weeks).
However, this all means that all this mapping power will be available to modders - there's no fixed timescale on releasing them just yet but, by and large, we're thinking about when West Point is finished and we'll have had them sufficiently tested. (Binky)
Q. "How many Coffees do you drink per day to work on PZ?" from datkid.
A. I've cut down on the coffees. Have one or two at breakfast, and another to round off the day. In between: staggeringly large quantities of tea, but tea is not coffee so it's fine. (Binky)
Q. "With introduction of NPC's, can we expect something like 'up to 3 NPC friends' on spawn, with customizable looks, names, professions and even your relationship to them?" from LeoIvanov.
A. We actually have some interesting plans regarding this. Certainly in character customization you should be able to specify that you're married, or have a brother/sister who may be around. One day we'd like to do a kinda G.O.A.T test style Choose Your Own Adventure before you start playing (you could revert to standard character customization if you wished).
This would detailing key events in your life and choosing what you do, to shape your character. Then perhaps a bunch of questions about the day of the apocalypse. Were you travelling down the highway to meet your wife from work maybe, or laid in bed after pulling a sickie at work?
This would define your starting circumstances, and may add additional quests for your character to try and complete during the game, such as reuniting with lost loved ones and so on.This is a while off, of course, but it's something we've talked about a lot. (Lemmy)
Q. "In a screenshot a while ago I noticed NPCs sitting on chairs and the like ... will us as the players be allowed to sit down on chairs?" from Rancorist.
A. Yeah, the ability to sit on chairs is sort of functional but it's a bit rough-and-ready at the moment. There's obviously slight draw-order issues with having a character sit down on a chair that might have a high back and arms, so the initial version of that functionality will definitely have some glitches. But we'll improve this later down the line. (Binky)
Q. "Will there be layers below the surface some day? Tunnels, underground parking lots and basements would be a great addition to the game world." from topy.
A. Yes, this is something that is planned in the future. (Mash)
Q. "Do you plan to implement the more powerful, game-mechanic altering mods into the vanilla game if they are in-line with your long term goals of the game and are widely popular? For example - Stormy's reload mod. How often will you be accepting mods like stormy's into the game? " from Burianu.
We would certainly consider doing it, and as you say have already done so with Stormy's mod. Hell, we took RJ on board and snaffled up all his mods (and got him to re-write them into the new UI and improve them) once he had code access! At the end of the day though if we kept taking everyone's mods and integrating them into the game, there would be no mod community. We want modders to keep doing what they are doing. (Lemmy)
Q. "Is the engine pretty much done or do you plan any bigger changes?" from Dr_Cox1911.
A. Hahaha, oh we have big plans. Long term plans though, and we've fought against the urge to act on them yet! Just compare the pre-alpha tech demo to the game now, and you'll see we're constantly trying to improve the engine and graphics. At the moment though, filling in the holes in the gameplay comes before anything else! (Lemmy)
Q. "I'd like to know if modders could have a separate changelog where we can see changes in lua, folder structures and things like that. It would really be helpful. I'll certainly give a hug for that, at the Project Zomboid conference which is bound to happen someday." from Aricane.
A. This would be great, but to be honest when developing the game, it's really really hard to keep track of changes to that detail. Once the game is in a more stable complete state, we could certainly look to do this. (Lemmy)
Q. "How is the Dragon implementation going and will they be as OP as expected?" from Tooks.
A. Dragons were so OP they crashed all of our computers. They will have to wait until future CPUs can handle their mightiness. (Mash)
Thats a really nice debugger nice job! Sadly the engine i work on doesnt has any sort of debugger so i gotta go trough the typical log way " Lets hope it gets past this message so i can guess it did worked" heh
Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition!
Looks nice.
Amazing guys. Your working nice and fast and its coming along quickly, keep up the good work
This game looks better every day :)
i have a question, can you become a follower of a NPC leader? maybe later you can challenge him/her for the control of the rest of the survivors
how do i update
I remember they saying you could join another group, dunno about the takeover tough.
should make it where in the local-coop where ur partener can select there skills and there information is saved
Those guys are at 'em!
A very sexy video of how the magic is done. The developers so called 'wet dream' a.k.a The Debugger. Squish those Zed's dead and now bugs even deader!
Why so long to make one folks...?
cant wait for npcs lolz..
pretty much the only reaon im not playing now
I'm getting a dragon sized erection in anticipation.
If you're going to do an AMA, please, please stay away from Reddit.
man those dragons are so op...
speaking of npcs just out of courisity well will have to defend vs a rival group like woodberry from walking dead ??

42pfl6008 shutting off for 20 seconds, then turning on
Hey guys,
My 42pfl6008 is randomly shutting off for 20 seconds, then turning back on. It's not overheating and it seems to only do it when I am watching cable tv (as opposed to when I am watching netflix, etc.).
I have also had some problems where my screen goes either completely multicolor or goes black with a few colors at the top, so generally speaking the picture just seems to get weird every once in a while - but this turning off and then on again is super annoying.
Thanks for your help

Hi rylo,
Apologies for the late reply.
Could you please try to play the HD Demo Video from the Setup menu? Do you experience the same effects there?
Do you have any external devices connected? Please try to remove these and see if the issue persists.
Please check the signal quality and strength on your cable channels:
While on a channel, press OPTIONS > Status
Please ensure that the Signal Strength and Quality are at above least 60%. For the TV to perform optimally, they should both be above 80%.
Best regards,

The Weekend Ahead: October 10th
October 10, 2014 § 2 Comments
This is an early bellwether weekend for a number of mid-range teams. Stats tell us almost nothing until teams start playing programs at around their own level, so there's little to go on right now.
North Dakota is coming off a loss to Vermont and needs to get a sweep against MSU to look like it can hang at all near the top of the WCHA this season. It's disappointing that Bemidji gets the week off given its hot start. It will be fascinating to see how the Beavers fare against top competition. Ohio State will find out whether one key piece of recruiting, at goaltender, can spur the rest of its historic underachievers. Probably not, but I'm curious whether anything can slow the relentless Wisconsin squad, and allowing fewer than four goals per in this series is some kind of moral victory. [I was looking over the USCHO picks and I noticed I completely forget to mention UMN/UMD, which shows what I think of this year's UMD squad. -Ed.]
Clarkson will not be defending its title this year, but returned more pieces of its championship squad than I think most observers initially realized. Erica Howe and Rattray had such an outsize influence on the team, as evidenced by the five goals the Golden Knights have already given up in a game this year, but they're well-matched against Providence. The Friars also recruited decently and are in their usual recent place in the middle of the pack zone. They had the bad luck to start the season against Mercyhurst but they hung in, and one out of two against Clarkson would be an excellent result for them. Either 'Hurst or Maine will see if their hot defensive starts were an illusion (better luck to the Lakers there).
Can a Robert Morris team that returns basically everyone from last year save itself from second-half collapse? Conversely, can the second-half phenomenon that was Northeastern play a full year this time? They will face an RIT squad that is trying to prove it really has successfully made the D-I transition. Meanwhile the entirety of Hockey East has to contend with the juggernaut that is BC, and SLU will not have the firepower. At the farthest reaches of the ticket, Saint Cloud State can pick up its lonely points against another team still struggling to prove it belongs in the D-I ranks.
The most inspiring weekend of hockey? Probably not. But certainly important for those teams for whom .500 is the key goal.
The Wrong Lesson
September 14, 2014 § Leave a comment
Back when I was so foolish as to write about other sports, one of the first stories that caught my attention, in part because I once found myself sitting across the aisle from her at an invitational,* was that of Jamie Carey.
Some of you more dedicated women's sports nerds may remember this one. Carey was a point guard at Stanford majoring in one of those ritzy complex systems programs, a combination of computer science and philosophy. She also had a penchant for taking charges and other scrappy things beloved of coaches. Unfortunately this caused her to suffer from what we would now term severe post concussion syndrome. She had headaches and dizziness. She could no longer concentrate or remember well enough to do her mathematical schoolwork, and had to switch majors to something with more writing.** Certainly there was no chance of playing basketball again.
Over time, however, her acute symptoms faded, although as I recall the cognitive ones didn't entirely and she had to stay with the other major. But Stanford refused to clear her to return to the court. So she transferred to Texas, where (to be fair after extensive testing) they had her pop in a mouthguard and get back into the game.*** Texas was still a top ten women's program at the time, and Carey helped them to their last major gasp of success before their recent woes. When I first covered this story, about a decade ago, the sports commentariat was in agreement that it taught us about lawsuit-shy programs that didn't serve their players' needs, versus more flexible teams that prospered.
We got it backward. Based on what we now know about the science of concussions Jamie Carey should never have played a sport with contact again. A mouthguard! For extreme post-concussion symptoms! Pundits are fond of saying about professional male athletes that they are free to make their own choices. The fact the players were working with incomplete information fails to come up, although certainly Carey was much more educated than many of her compatriots. She was extremely happy and successful playing at Texas. She even went on to serve as a backup in the WNBA and is now coaching for the U.S. national team. I have no evidence to suggest she's suffering from any serious deficits at the moment. But our current research shows she put herself at risk for longterm damage. I suspect this was something Stanford guessed at and I have to say I also suspect Texas, which is no slouch in the academic medicine department, did as well. But Texas wanted to win more than it was afraid of being sued if she developed, say, early-onset Alzheimer's. Again, I have no information to suggest that will happen in this particular case and I devoutly hope and pray it does not. Yet ironically Stanford acted in Carey's best interests even though at the time it was simply protecting itself against future liabilities.
I bring this story up now because of the news that Amanda Kessel is sitting out the year due to concerns about concussive symptoms. The women's hockey community is obviously pretty bummed. However we also understand that this is about protecting Kessel's longterm health, especially since there is no choice between a lucrative professional career and her cognitive function. In some odd way female athletes are lucky in this regard. There's no money awaiting them to sacrifice their future. We'd all rather that money was there, but it also makes prioritizing much easier. The sport suffers without one of its most visible stars. But if we've learned anything from mistakes made by teams and coaches in the past, it's that the sport isn't bigger than anyone's ability to live a full post-sporting life.
*Not that I worked up the courage to actually talk to her, mind you.
**I am the last person to suggest such a major is less rigorous. It simply emphasizes different skills.
***Fascinatingly, her current Wikipedia page emphasizes that it was an ankle injury rather than the concussions that caused her retirement from basketball at Stanford. While clearly a big part of the equation, this was not the story that got emphasized during her career with Texas.
The American U-22 Invitees Initial Breakdown
August 5, 2014 § Leave a comment
Faked you out there, ey? Hockey news intervened. I'll return to the recruits in a bit, although this is a very related post.
USA Hockey has named 69 (or possibly 66) players to its development festival thingy in Lake Placid which will produce the U-18 and U-22 teams. Yes, Development Festival Thingy is the technical term preferred by international hockey experts.
The breakdown of where USA Hockey thinks talented young players come from (based *only* on the rosters and not on commits):
Boston College – 8
Shattuck St. Mary's- 6
Minnesota Public High School- 6
University of Minnesota- 5
NAHA, Northeastern, Assabet Valley, Chicago Mission, – 3
If one were to use this as a scouting report, Boston College should be winning the national title, right? Certainly USA Hockey believes they have the most talented cadre in the country. Hockey East depends on whether the first half or the second half Northeastern squad shows up, I suspect.
Interesting how big the player advantage is for SSM given the success of other programs on both the national stage and in D-I recruiting this year.
There are also two players who are over 22 have played professionally, Blake Bolden with Boston and Kelley Steadman in Russia. There has been general ire about Bolden's lack of progress with the national team selection staff, so perhaps this is a step in the right direction. I'm not adding Chesson in with them because I don't know why she continues to end up on development rosters at her age and with her most recent team usually blank. That's not a dig, I'm genuinely curious.
Friend of the Blog wwhyte notes some interesting omissions in Pucci and Kessel, both of whom have obviously logged serious time for the senior national team.
Here is the commit data I've managed to cobble together:
BC- Keller, Bizal
QU- Cianfarano, Samoskevich
Cornell- Gerace
UMN- PIazza, Skarzynski, Woken, Marshall
Harvard- Laing
OSU- Dunne
UND- Kolstad,
UNH- Wenczkowski, a name which is going to give announcers fits
Northeastern- Bugalski
UW- Pankowski (redshirt)
Minnesota wins this battle rather handily. There was no question they'd reload for future campaigns. I am more interested in whether OSU can cobble together a complete team.
I'm sure I missed some incoming first-years, so please let me know in comments.
Fresh Skaters On The Ice! NCAA Recruiting Classes, Part One
August 1, 2014 § Leave a comment
We have certain assumptions about what we consider a successful recruiting class. At the top of the list are players who have served on the American or Canadian national teams. Then come players who have been invited to camps by those teams, and/or been a part of top-flight junior programs. If you score a lot for a lesser junior team you may also be a good prospect. It's harder to evaluate foreign nationals because the talent pool is more uncertain: for every Michelle Karvinen there is a random Swede whose skills are being accepted largely on faith. The problem with this system is that at every step along the way there is room for error: the national selection camps may have a flawed process; not every player on an excellent team is herself an excellent player. Although we have statistical measures for isolating her contribution they are largely in their infancy. Also, there is no adequate measure for determining whether a so-called blue chip prospect will make the transition from junior-level hockey to the much more demanding world of the NCAA.
In short, this discussion may be total balderdash, but let's have it anyway ;)
Here's the first part. It is now basically a truism that the Big Two will recruit North America's top talent. Annoy UMD as it will, this is simply fact. We need go back to last year to understand the depth of Wisconsin's new bench, since Super Junior Annie Pankowski will finally be able to play after redshirting last season. She is joined by U.S. U18 member and Shattuck St. Mary's standout Baylee Wellhausen, her teammate defender Maddie Rolfe, Canadian U18 skater Emily Clark and Canadian selection camp attendee Lauren Williams. This is still impressive given that the Badgers lost major commit Taylor Cianfarano to BC in circumstances that remain murky (for rumors, see the USCHO forum). They are fielding only six defenders initially and losing Alex Rigsby, but Desbien is an able replacement and given that their woes in the past few seasons were primarily a moribund offense, this year should mark another return to the top for the program. While I am not sold on Johnson as a coach (heresy!) having seen him work unsuccessfully with slightly lesser talent the past few seasons, if he can handle player development this team could coach itself within a year.
Meanwhile, Wisconsin's major rival is presumably still reeling from the destruction meted out by Clarkson in the astonishing national title game. It feels like a dream, doesn't it? Unfortunately Tech has lost its most exceptional class and even with the championship boost in interest did not entirely make up for that, being forced (gasp!) to turn to the United States for a recruit ;) Brielle Bellerive is both the most impressive player and the most impressive name in this year's frosh squad, and Clarkson has inked several players in the level directly below including Downers Grove' own Savannah Harmon and a potential replacement for Erica Howe in Shea Tiley, although Howe is really irreplaceable. With their team philosophy still in place they could contend in the ECAC…but read on for further news about who may have actually picked up the best class in the conference.
As for Minnesota, although the loss must sting, they are soothing it with another epic group from within Minnesota (good players from Minnesota public schools are another holy grail, comparable to an exceptional junior hockey career). UMN picked up Ms. Hockey Sydney Baldwin, runners-up Kelly Pannek and NIna Rodgers, and Chicago Mission's Cara Piazza, all of whom were members of the U.S. U18 squad. We should see no strings and wires for the transition in Gopherville. But who, surprisingly, signed the one of the best initial classes in the ECAC? Colgate, a team that I am embarrassed to say I sometimes forget exists (sorry!). Harvard has brought in a very, very strong group but if the Raiders can ramp up to college speed quickly they can contend. Top of the list is the AMAZINGLY-NAMED Lauren Wildfang, one of the star players on Canada's U18 team. She is joined by all-province-level talents Kaila Pinckney, Megan Sullivan, and Shelby Perry, plus American prep standouts (although not on the most elite squads) Annika Zalewski and Ellie DeCaprio. I don't think anyone is going to overlook Colgate in the coming years. But I also recall being pretty excited about the incoming class at Saint Cloud State a few seasons back, only to see them flame out spectacularly (although they only inked two real high school stars which is not enough to turn around a program's fortunes).
Next time: whither Duluth, a look at Harvard as well as conference rival Princeton, fortune falls in BC's lap, etc. In researching this post I was excited to think that somewhere in Canada there is a George Eliot High School, but sadly it is George Elliot High; how disappointing.
Still Here!

American Fans: Something To Remember
February 19, 2014 § Leave a comment
Good luck to the Canadians, who must live with both the joy and the incredible burden of their sport being so much more than a sport.
Whatever happens tomorrow, we Americans are free from having our identities depend upon this game. We care deeply about it, but it will not affect how we feel about ourselves as citizens or as a country. That is very liberating.
Given that we care deeply, it may be difficult to embrace the effort but not be overly concerned with the fruits of the effort. Especially if the Canadians win and they stage a repeat of their somewhat unfortunate celebration in Vancouver (PLEASE DON'T DO THAT). Cigars are gross. But no matter the outcome the players should be able to hold their heads high. They have worked incredibly hard. They have nothing to prove. They're just here to play hockey.
The Game Doesn't Stop After A Bad Call
February 13, 2014 § Leave a comment
Before we launch into that, let us pause for a moment to contemplate exactly how bad that call was. It was probably top three in the worst call pantheon I have personally witnessed. What makes it particularly egregious is that the referee knows she blew the whistle. It was her own action, not a player's. It makes absolutely no difference that she blew it in error. Unless you are that jerk who always finishes his lay-up after the whistle sounds, you stop what you're doing when you hear that. Even the jerk who finishes the lay-up does it in a haphazard way usually. So Jessie Vetter didn't think she had to know where that puck was. The fact that they reviewed the play so they could then hear themselves blow the whistle, which was clearly audible on my broadcast and also apparently from the U.S. bench, is just the icing on the cake. The terrible, terrible cake. That is not even touching on the inconsistent enforcement of the checking penalties, and the instances they missed of too many players on the ice (you see how easy, Doc?)
But. The U.S.' job once they had absorbed that hit was to try harder, not to appear to be so discombobbled they handed the Canadians the game. That giveaway at the blue line was inexcusable. If they had played the whole rest of the period the way they did the last two minutes, we'd be having a very different conversation right now. I singled out the Coyne line for defensive concern for a reason. Decker took two huge penalties; Coyne let Wickenheiser's assist go right past her; and unfortunately they tend to get paired with Marvin/Stecklein, who are porous. But all of that would have been escapable if the U.S. hadn't been so shell-shocked by their bad luck.
Now honestly most aspects of this game should give the U.S. little cause for concern. In the first two periods the shot selection (I'm going to start trademarking that, given how often I mention it) was somewhat weak but honestly given Labonte's surprising start throwing the puck at the net and seeing what happened was a decent idea. Knight was getting great chances as were the Lamoureuxs. Although I have never been more frustrated than when Jocelyne didn't take that odd-player rush during a change right toward the goal. Vetter stopped some tough shots. The penalty kill was looking quite solid. Then the wheels came off.
The Canadians have to be thrilled with how Labonte performed (although the scene in the final moments might give them pause if they were to be reflective about it). They also were due some production from Spooner and they got it. But they should be concerned about Poulin's not really being a factor on the offensive side, and they really must start moving the defense forward. Their offense continues to have long periods of stagnation and taking advantage of poor officiating is a lousy way to win.
I have assumed that Finland will come through to be the team the U.S. sees in the semis. It was a bit shocking it took them overtime to beat the Swiss. If Canada is to face any of the other teams, it will destroy them. They are not going to go through a Swedish scare twice. However if Canada faces Finland again, it will be interesting to see what adjustments Dineen makes. I have an unfortunate suspicion he will make none. I hope I'm wrong. If the U.S. faces Finland they need to guard against complacence. Luck played a huge role in their early lead too. Being on the other end of a bad bounce could put them in Finland's position quickly. To be gold medalists, this group needs to be able to replace their lost wheels quickly, rotate them if necessary, and get back on the path. This may come as a surprise but I am more comfortable with Katey Stone at the helm than I was with Mark Johnson a few years ago. If she can get the players to follow her instructions (for instance taking advantage of the lively boards is brilliant), they should come through this.
Then we can start worrying about the rematch.

Final Score: San Diego State 78, Nevada 57
Reno, NV (Sports Network) - Chase Tapley scored 17 points as the San Diego State Aztecs posted a 78-57 win over the Nevada Wolf Pack in Mountain West Conference action at the Lawlor Events Center.
Also scoring in double figures for SDSU (15-4, 3-2 MWC) were Jamaal Franklin and JJ O'Brien with 14 and 12 points, respectively, the former also clearing seven rebounds, handing out five assists and capturing four steals in order to offset his six turnovers. The victory snapped a two-game slide by the Aztecs.
As for Nevada (10-8, 1-3), which has now dropped four of the last five outings, it was paced by Malik Story who tallied 17 points, followed by Jerry Evans with 14 and seven boards and Deonte Burton who responded with 12 points and six assists, but shot only 2-of-11 from the floor.
San Diego State led by as many as 14 points in the first half, but the team allowed the Pack to battle back and make the score 39-38 at the break. The Aztecs connected on an impressive 53.3 percent from the floor through the first 20 minutes of action, but that afforded the squad just the one-point advantage.
In the second half the SDSU defense clamped down on the hosts, limiting Nevada to a total of just six made field goals and 0-of-8 beyond the arc. The visitors again shot the ball well from the field (.556) in the frame as they ran away with the 21-point victory.
The reserves for San Diego State came up with 25 points on the night, compared to just 10 for Nevada.

Phoenix Suns
Report: Suns talking trade for Memphis' Rudy Gay
There are a lot of new faces on the Phoenix Suns' roster this season, but the team's overhaul hasn't led to many victories.
The Suns sit at 12-23, the second-worst record in the Western Conference and 7.5 games out of the final playoff spot.
According to Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo! Sports, the team is tinkering with even more change.
Wojnarowski wrote Tuesday morning that the Suns are engaged in talks with the Memphis Grizzlies about forward Rudy Gay.
There's no framework of a possible deal in place, but the Grizzlies have expressed a strong desire that any package involving Gay include Suns forward Jared Dudley and future first-round draft picks, sources said.
Gay, who is averaging 17.8 points for the Grizzlies this season, has two years remaining on his contract after this season, which will pay him over $37 million. He is making $16.4 million this season.
But as Wojnarowski points out, the Suns do have plenty of first round draft picks in future years, having acquired two of them from the Los Angeles Lakers in the Steve Nash deal last summer.
Gay, 26, was a first round draft pick (eighth overall) out of Connecticut by the Houston Rockets in 2006, but was later traded to the Grizzlies in a deal for Shane Battier. Gay has averaged 17.9 points per game over his seven-year NBA career.
Despite leading Memphis in scoring this season, his per game output is the lowest since his rookie season when he averaged 10.8 points per contest.

Truex embraces team concept fully
Despite his three-year tenure and record of leading the team's efforts on-track, Martin Truex Jr. bristles a bit when you asked him about being the face of Michael Waltrip Racing.
THAT'S THE WAY!Keselowski's back in charge after JJ's setback. NASCAR Power Rankings
He's ninth in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series championship standings as the circuit arrives in Kentucky for Saturday night's race and was a top-five fixture in the rankings for much of the early season, starring in a team-highlight reel of qualifying and top-10 showings.
Yet for all his hard work and successful efforts, Truex's only visits to Victory Lane with MWR have been to congratulate teammates – former MWR driver David Reutimann last season and team newbie Clint Bowyer Sunday when he hoisted the trophy in Sonoma, Calif.
"I thought it was really cool for the team and how could I not be happy for Clint,'' Truex told FOXSports.com this week. "We've all been close this year and to finally get MWR in the win column was huge.
"We work together. We truly are one team with three cars and the better one of us runs, the better all of us runs."
Truex says he's only one face at MWR.
"There is no lead driver," he said. "I don't feel any more pressure than anyone else. And I feel like the way things have gone for us, we will get to Victory Lane soon. For sure.''
Truex's last – and only – Cup win came in 2007 at the New Jersey native's "home" track, Dover International Speedway, when he was driving for Dale Earnhardt Inc. Since then, the two-time Nationwide Series champ has garnered headlines winning the pole for the Daytona 500 (2009) and scoring a pair of runner-up finishes (Bristol Motor Speedway in 2011 and Kansas Speedway in 2012).
Statistically and otherwise, however, 2012 has been the true breakout season for Truex in NASCAR's marquee series.
He's been ranked among the top six for 11 weeks of the 16-race season to date, including a career-best second spot in the Sprint Cup points standings following his runner-up finish in Kansas, where he led a race-best 173 laps.
He's got eight top-10 finishes in 16 races and would have had another Sunday in California had he not been punted on the last lap, leaving him with a 22nd-place finish.
He's led six races and his 318 laps out front is fifth-best in the series at the moment. But like Jeff Gordon, who is also ranked among the top-five with 421 laps in first, Truex is still winless.
"It's a tough act to balance whether to be aggressive and go for the win in some cases, because obviously the Chase (for the Sprint Cup) is what's it's all about,'' Truex said. "We'd be happy to be in a little better (points) position than we are right now; we've been caught up in a few wrecks the last few weeks. But we still feel so competitive. Coming in this year, after the way we finished last season, I feel honestly we could go anywhere and win.
"There have been days when we ran fourth, fifth or sixth and were disappointed. That's a definite change from the way we were going about things. We are a lot pickier about our performance now because we can be."
Like Dale Earnhardt Jr., who broke a four-year winless streak at Michigan earlier this month, Truex feels that another victory is only a matter of time now that he's consistently running up front.
"When I went to Michael Waltrip Racing in 2010 we weren't consistently up front," he said. "So it's really neat to be a part of the organization as it's stepped up the performance and evolved to the next level.''

At first I wasn't sure I was reading the CNN report correctly. The story hinged on special pavement that uses the impact of human feet to generate electricity.
That's right. A young man in Britain has invented a device that harvests the energy from a footfall hitting the pavement to power things like LED lights.
Talk about a bright idea.
The PaveGen project is the brainchild of Laurence Kemball-Cook. He's a 25-year-old engineer who built a prototype of the device during his last year in school and is now working to make and market it.
The PaveGen tiles work because they have a bit of give in them. When you step on one, it's depressed a bit by your weight. That motion can be used to generate a measurable bit of electricity. If the tiles are in an area of heavy foot traffic - like stairs down to a subway station - they can make enough electricity for useful applications.
Using human muscle to generate electricity is not completely new. I've seen students in teaching demonstrations pedaling hard on stationary bikes to light up a relatively low-watt bulb.
But walking is one of the most efficient things we humans can do. And by stepping on Kemball-Cook's paver, a person exerts considerable downward force. Each step generates enough juice to power an LED bulb for 30 seconds. The device can be linked to a battery to even out the flow.
Kemball-Cook had a second bright idea as he designed his device. In addition to contributing electric power to devices, he engineered the tiles to retain 5 percent of their oomph, used to light up an LED bulb in the paver itself. This gives positive feedback that people are really making electricity as they walk across the pavement.
Some 20 of the tiles will be installed around London's Olympic Stadium where foot-traffic is going to be high.
The pavers have already been tested at a school in southeast Britain.
Kemball-Cook said that "1,100 kids have devoted their lives to stamping all over them for the last eight months."
On a shorter-term test, Kemball-Cook says he took the pavers to an outdoor festival where 250,000 footsteps created enough juice to charge 10,000 cellphones.
The pavers are a bit like social media, harnessing the individual contribution of many people in ways that generate value. That's part of the appeal of the devices.
Time will tell if this idea has legs. But I for one am rooting it does. And I'm glad to note some members of the next generation are thinking outside the box and creating some delightful devices.E.

"First off, it took us months to finally decide on the look we wanted for our wedding invitations. From the beginning, I'd already settled on Weddingpaperdivas though.. Their selection is simply amazing!! And the price?!? Nice!! I spent about a week going back and forth with the designers at weddingpaperdivas until my card was just right! They were so patient and fast!! I got the exact color, helpful suggestions, reassurance and most of all ,the cards came back looking fabulous. We've gotten nothing but compliments on these. I was so hesitant ordering my invites without holding a sample of the final product in my hand but again, my designers reassured me it would be great. When I opened the box I was wowed!!! They came out even better than I could have imagined. Thank you weddingpaperdivas!! These invitations actually reignited my excitement for this most special day."
"I picked the Raspberry color and detailed everything in the card in the special instructions portion - bc i needed my invites to be in Spanish! And the turnaround was fantastic - the designer sent it back just as i had detailed and I was able to proofread and approve and the delivery was fast. Great quality - i used the square edges on this design and it just looks so nice and elegant the raspberry is a beautiful magenta / fuchsia tone which are the colors of my wedding. Really liked the way these invites turned out. Thanks!"
"I ordered these wedding invitations and they came out even better than I expected! They are so pretty! I couldn't be happier with them! Thanks WPD!"
"These invitations blew me out of the water! I was so surprised at the size, quality and total packaging! Wedding Paper Divas have outdone themselves. I can't wait for our guests to receive their invites to be just as impressed as I was!"
"Everything looks great! I've gotten several compliments and I am very happy! I ordered the fastest shipping/ printing option and it was there a day earlier than they promised. The designers were able to add a few extra lines to give the RSVP website and credit the photographer. I submitted my order and had a response from the design team the very next morning before I was even at work!! Very happy and I will certainly be ordering my thank yous from this site!"

Not the most impressive from the outside but the food is better than most Indian restaurants in the Cork area. Well worth a visit.
Have had two takeaways from here recently and decided it's time someone wrote a review on the place. Food was absolutely gorgeous on both occasions, and good value for money. We were given very generous sized portions and a few minerals thrown in for free! The people running this restaurant were super friendly and very enthusiastic about our return visit....

Linda Pollak, a research geneticist for the U.S. Department of Agriculture and a collaborative associate professor of agronomy at Iowa State, addressed a 90-minute symposium on Saturday, Feb. 16, titled, Crops for Health: Improving the Health-Promoting Properties of Food.
Pollaks message was that traditional plant breeding can be a tool to improve human health. Plant breeders, for example, have been able to reduce some of the problems with oils from soybeans, canola, sunflowers and corn. She said plant breeders have developed soybeans with lower levels of fatty acids to help reduce trans fats after processing. Breeders have also developed canola lines with safe levels of toxic erucic acid. And plant breeders have decreased saturated fats and increased monounsaturated fats in canola, sunflower and corn oils to reduce the risk of heart disease. And so Pollak argued traditional plant breeding can still develop better crops for healthier foods.

A puppet show is being presented in an empty lot outside a tenement building. A little girl, Dulce, acts as the puppeteer's assistant, looking at a storybook when she's not needed. After the show ends, she passes a hat for donations.
Later that evening, the puppeteer, her father, tells Dulce a bedtime story. The next morning, he gathers wood in an empty lot, coughing chronically, while Dulce sleeps in their old battered station wagon. When she wakes, they look at the storybook together, but the father is worried that his daughter still hasn't learned to read. He decides that it's time for her to go to school.
A man with an official New York City vehicle arrives and tells them they should go to a shelter instead of living on city property. The puppeteer explains that he got sick in the shelter and he would never take his daughter there.
As he sets up for his next puppet show, a woman brings Luis (the puppeteer) a pamphlet. Unable to read it himself, he takes it to a restaurant and asks a friend for help. It is information about getting checked for tuberculosis. As Luis scratches a Lotto ticket, his friend tells him that she heard on the radio that in the U.S. all children have the right to go to school. She reassures Luis that they won't ask for his papers, and she offers to go with him.
The next day a nervous, fidgety Dulce and her father stand outside the classroom looking in. When they go to the office to register, the administrator says she needs to see a birth certificate and a rent receipt or telephone bill to prove they live in the city. Luis tells her he doesn't have a rent receipt, but that every child has the right to go to school. The administrator tells him she can't register Dulce without a receipt because it's the law. Luis angrily tells her he'll go to another school.
Back at the car, Luis tells his daughter a story about a sad, tired mother who cries a river of tears until a miracle happens: a small tree grows laden with fruit, right before her eyes. The scene closes on the family driving the car away from the empty lot, in search of their own miracle.

Long known for their overclocker friendly motherboards, DFI is back with a board for the highly popular and extremely powerful Core 2 Duo. Using Intels 975X chipset, the DFI Infinity 975 X/G looks to introduce the enthusiast crowd to Conroe, DFI style. Using the BIOS that shipped with the board, we got less than spectacular results, forcing us to go with a popular Beta. How high could we get the FSB and is the board worth it?
If you're a computer enthusiast, more than likely you have heard of DFI. Long known in the industry as an overclockers best friend in the motherboard arena, DFI has produced some of the best performing motherboards to date. Their LanParty series has catapulted them to the top tier of enthusiast motherboard manufacturers by offering superb performance and an ungodly amount of extras bundled. While the LanParty has garnered all of the accolades and attention, the Infinity series of motherboards has been around for those of us with somewhat restricting budgets.
With most of the attention going to the LanParty series, the Infinity can sometimes be looked over. While the Infinity series lacks the bundled extras that the LanParty offers, it still gets its fair share of attention from the DFI engineers.
Now that 2006 is almost behind us, looking back, it's obvious that the CPU market is nothing like it was this time last year. Intel has retaken the performance crown from AMD, dual core CPUs are a common place and more importantly, affordable and the emergence of quad core CPUs is happening as well. The DFI Infinity 975 X/G, which we are working with today, uses the same 975 Intel chipset that has been around for a while now. Using this chipset, the 975 X/G is Core 2 Duo ready and with a BIOS upgrade, quad core ready as well. With the following that DFI has developed, there is a lot riding on this motherboard and in working with the 975 X/G over the past 4 weeks, we have been working with it to find out if it's truly a board that the Core 2 Duo crown has been waiting for as well as if it's a value to the consumer as the Infinity name implies.
About the 975 X/G
DFI clearly wants to distinguish their Infinity boards from the LanParty board that they have built their name on. As the box shows, its nothing like the LanParty boxes but still informative.

Sorry for the update here, but my Gmail isn't working and I wanted to let you all know that the packages went out this morning. Each bead is in an individual baggie with the note from the sender stapled to the baggie (except for AfricanQueen, who tied the labels to her beads). I also included a baggie with a clear elastic, so you can make your bracelet. To tie the knot with the elastic, make 3-4 knots (one on top of the other) and then pull the ends very tightly (the elastic won't break and the knots will then be secure).
Unfortunately, while I was calculating postage and sealing up packages at the post office this morning, three bead baggies fell out (two amber and one purple) and it was impossible to tell from which envelopes they originated. If you find that your package is missing:
a) a very small oval-shaped amber-colored bead (from Sarah) AND/OR
b) a round purple bead with white specks (from Milly_P)
please e-mail me ASAP to the mothering group address with your mailing address and I will send out your bead(s) immediately. I'm sorry about this!
Happy beading, everyone!

You are so, so, SO awesome for doing all this, Pilar! Thanks. :)
Chatty Girl - 3/2006, Lovey Boy - 1/2010, Delicious Baby Girl - 1/2012
Thanks so much for all your help!
Weaving, knitting mama of one beautiful daughter born at home, and yoga teacher planning a with our second, due mid-january. Trying to & & more... We like to
Yay! Thank you for putting in so much time and effort! You are awesome!
Oh, and my bead was also an amber/orangish oval carnelian. The and/or may indicate a missing bead from me....
That's why I specified that the sender of the little amber bead was Sarah, so that people wouldn't confuse that with yours (I made sure each label had the sender's name on it so people would know who they were from). Everyone got a bead from you, so hopefully they'll double-check to make sure who the sender was before they contact me. It's only two beads, so I'm not too worried about mass confusion. :)
pilar, i can't thank you enough for taking the time and effort to pull this together. (and to cedar, for organizing us in the first place!) i really, really appreciate what the both of you have done for us. :)
HCM- gentle, all-natural, unconditional mama to three boys (8,6,4) and new baby girl!
My pleasure! Yes, thank you cedarwoman, this wouldn't have taken off in the first place without all your efforts!!!
Yes, thank you so much MontessoriMama and Cedarwoman!!! I can't wait to get my beads!!
Oh... I missed that! I thought the AND/OR referred to the fact that the first missing bead may have been from Sarah or..... another person you couldn't remember.
ANYWAY.... it's obvious now! Sorry, I have congested cold head.
Thanks again! I'm so excited to get my beads!
Thank you again for organizing! And cedarwoman, for getting the ball rolling! I can't wait to see what everyone picked.
Mother of two great little guys, G (9/28/09) and W (1/20/12)
I am so so happy I participated in this, and I can't wait to wear my beautiful necklace. :) Thank you to the organizers and to everyone who sent beads!!
mama to baby girl E born at home on 1/8/12 with #2 on his or her way around 8/28/13
Thanks, Pilar, for all the effort you've put into this! Looking forward to getting the beads!
L'lee ~ C ~ E May, 2006 ~ R12/29/2011!
my beads are here! my beads are here! i've been pouring over them repeatedly for the last half hour.
you guyssssssss.... they're so wonderful. each one of them. i am so touched by every bead, and your messages. upwelling gratefulness!
HCM- gentle, all-natural, unconditional mama to three boys (8,6,4) and new baby girl!
My beads are here too!! I saw the envelope on the table as I was walking out the door today. Can't wait to get home to see them! It's like Christmas early!!
They've arrived! And they are awesome!! They are beautiful and meaningful and different. You guys totally rock :) After reading all the descriptions and checking out the beads and stringing them together, I have never been more excited to birth my baby. Thank you :)
mama to baby girl E born at home on 1/8/12 with #2 on his or her way around 8/28/13
You guys did an amazing job with the beads... I loved every single one of them and I couldn't wait to be done sorting so I could make my own bracelet. :) I proudly wore it out to lunch and kept thinking how incredible it was that we are all sharing in this experience of birth.
I got mine this afternoon! Thanks to everyone! It was so much fun looking at them and reading everyone's comments!
L'lee ~ C ~ E May, 2006 ~ R12/29/2011!
Mine showed up yesterday and they're gorgeous and every one of them just has such sweet inspiration. Thank you all so much. I can't wait to string them up and wear them.
Mother of two great little guys, G (9/28/09) and W (1/20/12)
I just received my beads and they are beautiful.... just beautiful! Thank you so much everyone! I will be so honored to string them and wear them....
Pilar, on a side note......
I am missing a bead and it actually isn't one from Milly or Sarah.... it is the one from Angela (African Queen). I got the message without bead attached. Did you end up with an extra from her?
Oh no, I'm sorry about that! I had that problem with several of those beads, they kept coming detached from the string... I've checked the area where I worked and I didn't see a spare bead, but I'll double-check and let you know. In the meantime, if anyone got two of the sparkling round beads by mistake (the ones that AfricanQueen sent), then one belongs to MoonSnail!
Oh, no! I was hoping that my beads strung on my note would make it *easier* for you, Pilar. I'm sorry about that.
I gave my extras to my daughter and she has already lost them in her room. I'll see if I can track one down to send directly.
Chatty Girl - 3/2006, Lovey Boy - 1/2010, Delicious Baby Girl - 1/2012
It's okay.... Thanks for checking, guys!
Of course, I would love to have a bead from each of you... if one of you finds it or an extra, awesome....
but, it isn't a huge deal if it doesn't turn up. I don't want anyone to go through a lot of extra hassle.
Pilar, you have put in a ton of work on this already and Angela, I am equally happy to have your sweet message!
Thanks again, everyone..... I teared up a bit when I read everyone's beautiful words of inspiration!
If the pesky get-away bead shows up, let me know!
I had my daughter track down a bead! It was remarkably easier than I thought considering the girl just dumps everything together and then wonders why she can never find anything.
Please PM me your address and I'll mail it right away. :)
Chatty Girl - 3/2006, Lovey Boy - 1/2010, Delicious Baby Girl - 1/2012
I got my beads yesterday and was so warmed by all the thoughts and descriptions! Thank you!
Oh Angela, thank you so much for your help!! I couldn't find the lost bead anywhere, and I looked all over my crafts area... You're a life-saver!! :) I really loved how you arranged the beads you sent with the gold string and card, but I think the beads cut into the strings and made a few of them fall off. Well, hopefully this is the only one that went rogue. ;)
Thanks again, Angela.... Thanks for looking, Pilar. All is well and I am excited to have a complete set to string!!
Ok so I think I might be missing my own bead. I did get a flat amber one but not th oval one that I thought I had sent. Thank you for doing this I can't wait to wear these during labor!
i was waiting till after the holidays to string mine together, and the kids just helped me put a bracelet together with all of our beads. ladies, it's so lovely, and i'm so grateful to have this precious gift from each of you! thanks again to everyone- each bead is so very special!
