from your fans, the more surprises you'll unlock along the way.
The best thing about being adventurous is gaining stories
and creating legends. Achieving these badges isn't for the
faint-hearted or timid, but is exclusively reserved for the
truly intrepid spirit. Tell us your most epic adventure story
by using the "Adventure" category tag.
At Subaru, it's no secret that we love dogs as much as you

they are always by your side, ready for the next adventure.

you'll make with your family. Tell us your best story about

unlock an achievement badge for all the time you've spent

for boring. That's because a Subaru is made for wherever
the road takes you. Whether it's navigating dirt roads or
shopping mall parking lots, a Subaru can handle it. Tell
us your story of getting out there, getting up there, and
everything in-between. Select the "Versatility" category
tag to earn achievement badges along the way.
At Subaru, your stories don't go unnoticed. That's why we
often turn select stories into Subaru ads. While this
achievement badge is one of the more difficult ones to
earn, it's definitely possible. Tell us your greatest story
about you and your trusty Subaru. You never know, maybe
your story will become the next "Dear Subaru"
With Subaru's jaw-dropping performance and intelligent
design, getting to your next adventure is half the thrill.
And on the road of life, you're always in the driver's seat.
Select the "Performance" category tag and tell us your
most awesome Subaru story to earn performance badges.

Subaru and aren't afraid to declare it to the world. See if
your love is strong enough to earn Subaru "Love"
achievement badges by telling us your most paramount
love story.
We know that channeling your inner Hemingway isn't easy,
but we all enjoy it when you do. This is your chance to earn

Maybe it's one of romance and love, or maybe it's
adventure. No matter what kind of story it is, we'd love
to hear about it, and you've got a chance to earn
storytelling achievement badges by sending it to us.
At Subaru, we want to see world the same way you and
your Subaru see it through your beautiful pictures.

see it. Find your own angles and attach your most
breathtaking Subaru image when you submit your story.

Gossip Girl
OMG Moments From Gossip Girl Season 6, Episode 8: Serena's Odd Fashion Choice
It's easy to become numb to the surprising moments in a show like Gossip Girl. But as we gather around the Thanksgiving table with the Upper East Side mafia, we'd like to take this moment to say grace for these visual and aural gifts we have been given in Season 6, Episode 8, "It's Really Complicated." Amen.
1. Serena wears an apron!
From leggings as pants to black gloves at a wedding, Serena (Blake Lively)'s fashions barely make a blip on our ridic register these days. But wouldn't you know it, with three episodes left, the showrunners finally put Serena in something we would never expect: an apron. And not just any apron, mind you. A boring white one that clashes with her subtle fall palate. For shame.
2. Bart tells Dan his latest chapter on Serena revitalizes his faith in Dan's generation.
There's little that Bart Bass could say that wouldn't make us immediately cower in fear. After all, the man has died once, been involved in more murders than we care to know about, and regularly feeds on the blood of unicorns who lost their way in the forests of Central Park. Well, we're just assuming that last one is true, but still. The last thing we expected him to say something nice to Dan (Penn Badgley). After reading Dan's scathing piece on Serena, Bart told him that it restored his faith in Dan's generation of writers. Um, thanks?
3. Blair's 7th heaven reference
Serena: Did you know he tried to get back together with me?
Blair: You must be in 7th Heaven.
Wetpaint: AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAH
It happened. We heard it. We've been making Matt Camden jokes in our heads for months, wondering if The WB of it all would ever be brought out of the elephant's corner suite. And then it happened. Thank you, Gossip Girl, for not giving up on us even when we nearly gave up on you. Happy Thanksgiving!
Want more Gossip Girl goodness? Like us on Facebook or follow us on Twitter! You know you love us. XOXO

CHARLESTON — Tickets are now on sale to see one of West Virginia's own take the stage and headline the April Spring Fling Concert at the Charleston Municipal Auditorium.
Landau Eugene Murphy Jr., the Logan native and winner of NBC's hit television show "America's Got Talent," will perform Saturday, April 6, at 7 p.m.
"The Landau Spring Fling at the Municipal Auditorium will include lots of new songs along with your favorite Landau tunes, plus some other surprises that Landau's fans have never seen before including a 'Murphy Meets Motown' section of the show," Burke Allen, Landau's manager, said. "But you'll still get to experience the same warm, fun, friendly Landau that won America's hearts and represents West Virginia so well."
Landau has been performing to sell-out audiences and standing ovations since winning the "America's Got Talent" crown. Recent appearances include an Armed Forces Entertainment tour of Europe to perform for members of the U.S. Military and their families, which Landau called a "huge honor." He also appeared on the "China's Got Talent" program seen by over 300 million viewers and is in discussions to headline his his first tour of China this year, including a stop at Shanghai's Mercedes Benz Arena.
He also recently returned from a tour of Florida and Oklahoma, where he performed at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino. Other upcoming concert appearances already on the books in 2013 include Las Vegas, Beverly Hills, the Sands Casino in Michigan and Hollywood Casino in Columbus.
To order tickets, call 1-800-745-3000 or visit http://www.ticketmaster.com/event/16004A459737389F.
Landau's appearance, which is his only scheduled Charleston area public performance in 2013, is a benefit for the Community Music Association and Junior Achievement of West Virginia.
"I'm honored to help raise funds for Junior Achievement of West Virginia and for my friends at the Community Music Association, and am really looking forward to coming back to Charleston to play at the Municipal Auditorium", Landau said.

To enter the U.S. as a J-1 exchange visitor, you will need a valid J-1 visa stamp in your passport. Visas are issued only by United States consulates and embassies outside the U.S. The visa is a stamp placed in the passport to allow an individual to enter a particular country, such as the U.S. The visa indicates the purpose of someone's visit, and it is valid for a specified number of entries to the United States: one, two, or "multiple," i.e., any number, until the expiration date.
To apply for your visa, you should take your passport, NYU's DS-2019, and financial documentation (e.g., university appointment letter indicating salary or if you are financed independently from NYU, a letter of sponsorship, personal bank statement or proof of income) to a U.S. consulate/embassy. Before applying for your J-1 visa, you are required to pay the SEVIS I-901 fee at least three business days prior to the visa interview, and you must bring a receipt of the payment with you.
If your dependents will be accompanying you, they will need J-2 visas, and should submit their passports, DS-2019, financial documentation, and proof of marriage or parenthood to the consulate/embassy. J-2 dependents do not pay a SEVIS fee.
J visas can only be obtained outside the U.S. The application process is most efficient in your home country. Visit www.usembassy.state.gov regarding the required procedures and timeframes for visa processing at embassies and consulates overseas.
The U.S. Department of State provides general information on visa wait times. Though you should always contact the U.S. consulate or embassy for information on processing times, you may use the U.S. Department of State's Visa Wait Times as a guide.
The validity period of a visa stamp pertains only to the period during which it may be used for admission to the U.S. - it does not indicate how long a person may stay in the U.S.
Canadian citizens do not need a visa stamp to enter the U.S. However, Canadians must pay the SEVIS I-901 fee and show the Form DS-2019 at the port of entry to obtain status as a J-1 exchange visitor. (J-1 status will be indicated on the passport stamp and Form I-94.)

ST. GEORGE (AP) — The police chief in St. George has resigned amid a State Law Enforcement Division inquiry into spending.
Town officials said Anthony Britt resigned on Thursday. He had been police chief since 2009.
Mayor Anne Johnston contacted SLED about possible spending of money that was not deposited in the bank account. SLED spokesman Thom Berry said there are no new developments in the case.
It's the second time Britt has resigned from the department.
Town clerk and treasurer Annette Moore says that as a sergeant in 1999, Britt was suspended and was not reinstated pending the outcome of another investigation. She said she could not discuss that situation.
Britt returned to the department in 2008.
St. George police chief resigns

Sugarbush Resort will remodel rooms at the Sugarbush Inn in order to increase the property's occupancy capability. Currently the inn can comfortably accommodate up to 84 people. The resort plans to increase that number to 110.The decision to boost the historic inn's bed base came as a result of an increase in traffic from a particular market segment. During the 2005-06 season, the resort's sales team began a concerted effort to acquire more business from large tour operators. Those efforts began to pay off last year when Sugarbush noticed more business coming from that travel channel: specifically, operators whose clients consisted of families with up to three children looking for mid-priced lodging. Currently the majority of the inn's rooms are configured to sleep two people. The reconfiguration will increase some rooms' capacity to five. The inn will be closed from August 13 to December 19 while the remodel takes place.

Has anyone compiled a list of scriptures where God has directly intervened in mans will?
Some of your judgment doctrines make him look like a failure. Jesus is not pleased with your errors nor flattered by them.
thats some serious intervening in man's will...from my perspective.
author=bhark54 link=topic=1061.msg8556#msg8556 date=1192507459]Has anyone compiled a list of scriptures where God has directly intervened in mans will?
But haven't you known? Haven't you heard?? God's never ever ever ever violated a single person's free will from the beginning of time!!!!!!!!!Free will of man is almighty. Free will of man is god. Hear man roar!!!
Freedom of will, and freedom are two different things. One is an adjective which creates a noun phrase, the other is a noun. They are not related in definition. Freedom of will is the cognitive ability to think and choose when things are presented, not the power to invent or create out of nothing the things that are presented.

Watching movies in the theaters and at home with the family is the best! This year there were some really cool movies like The Secret World of Arrietty, Hotel Transylvania, Frankenweenie and Ice Age: Continental Drift…but the movie that really stood out to us was Dr. Suess' The Lorax. It's based on one of our very favorite childhood books by Dr. Seuss.
One of the quotes that we Bratz girls took with us from the book and film, "It's not about what it is, it's about what it can become," is super important to us. We love keeping an eye to the future and working hard to make everything that we have into something totally amazing in the days to come.
What were your fave movies this year, and what lessons did you take from them?
See you in the theater!

A man who reportedly offered several students marijuana outside Aiken High School last week was seen the same day allegedly trying to sell a gun to "raise bond money for a brother," according to the Aiken Department of Public Safety.
The alleged incident happened March 6 on the outskirts of the Aiken High School campus, according to a report. A student saw the suspect with a gun attempting to sell the firearm "to raise bond money for a brother" and informed police, according to the report.
Police went to Pinecrest School and spoke with the suspect, who denied the allegations, according to the report. The suspect reportedly spoke with a teacher at Pinecrest and admitted to having a gun on the campus the day before.
The suspect stated "that he was going to rob an individual of drugs and money to 'raise bond money for a brother,'" police said.
Officers contacted the suspect's mother, who said she did have a 9 mm handgun in her home but that the suspect did not have access to it, according to the report. The suspect was seen in the neighborhood later that afternoon by an officer and interviewed again. He again denied possessing a weapon.
During the first incident on March 6, a student reported a man approaching people, offering them marijuana and armed with a gun.
A victim told police the suspect asked him if he smoked weed, and the student said no, according to the report. The suspect showed him a gun and said, "You did not see anything." He was last seen walking toward the football practice field.
In an unrelated incident, a 19-year-old Aiken man was arrested after a school resource officer at Aiken High School found him in his vehicle on school grounds with guns and ammunition in the car, according to reports.
The officer saw a group of students behind the E-wing area around noon on Friday, and one man got into a green Chevrolet Camaro and tried to leave, according to the report. The officer was able to stop him.
Inside the vehicle, the officer could see a box of .38-caliber ammunition on the passenger seat and two black gun cases behind the driver's seat, according to the report. The man was removed from the car and placed in handcuffs until backup units arrived.
Inside the car, officers found a .22-caliber rifle, a 12-gauge shogun and a .38-caliber revolver. They also found about 200 rounds of .22-caliber and 38-caliber ammunition, and 26 shotgun shells.
The man, Christian Coty Caudle, of Mixon Road, was taken to the Aiken County detention center where a hold was placed on him for possession of a weapon on a school campus and unlawful possession of a pistol.
According to Bill Burkhalter, an attorney for Aiken County Public Schools, Caudle is not a student at the high school.
Burkhalter could not comment on individual incidents, but said a student bringing a firearm to school is a permanently expellable offense.
"If you bring a handgun or any kind of firearm on school grounds as a student, you're not only expelled for the remaining balance of the year, but our board a long time ago considered that an act of incorrigibility," he said. "We probably have one of the strictest policies on that in the state."

Around the globe there are many "little ones" who follow Christ, yet who are easily oppressed, powerless and defenseless. It is within our ability to care for them in tangible ways, extending simple offerings to meet needs and ease suffering. The promised reward for doing this is not an obligation, but a free gift from God for our obedience and service.
"And if anyone gives even a cup of cold water to one of these little ones because he is my disciple, I tell you the truth, he will certainly not lose his reward." — Matthew 10:42, NIV
For the children we serve, the children you sponsor, what is the "cup of cold water" Jesus wants you to give?

Think you've tasted the famous Japanese Kobe beef?
Think again.
Of course, there are a small number of you out there who have tried it – I did, in Tokyo, and it is delicious. If you ever go to Japan I heartily recommend you splurge, because while it is expensive, it is unique, and you cannot get it in the United States. Not as steaks, not as burgers, certainly not as the ubiquitous "Kobe sliders" at your trendy neighborhood "bistro."
That's right. You heard me. I did not misspeak. I am not confused like most of the American food media.
I will state this as clearly as possible:
You cannot buy Japanese Kobe beef in this country. Not in stores, not by mail, and certainly not in restaurants. No matter how much you have spent, how fancy a steakhouse you went to, or which of the many celebrity chefs who regularly feature "Kobe beef" on their menus you believed, you were duped. I'm really sorry to have to be the one telling you this, but no matter how much you would like to believe you have tasted it, if it wasn't in Asia you almost certainly have never had Japan's famous Kobe beef.
2014 UPDATE: Changes have occurred regarding the status of Kobe beef in the United States. For the most current information, please read the 2014 piece, The New Truth About Kobe Beef, which has details that supersede information contain herein.
You may have had an imitation from the Midwest, Great Plains, South America or Australia, where they produce a lot of what I call "Faux-be" beef. You may have even had a Kobe imposter from Japan before 2010. It is now illegal to import (or even hand carry for personal consumption) any Japanese beef. Before 2010 you could import only boneless fresh Japanese beef, but none was real Kobe. Under Japanese law, Kobe beef can only came from Hyogo prefecture (of which Kobe is the capital city), where no slaughterhouses were approved for export by the USDA. According to its own trade group, the Kobe Beef Marketing & Distribution Promotion Association in Japan, where Kobe Beef is a registered trademark, Macao is the only place it is exported to – and only since last year. If you had real Kobe beef in this country in recent years, someone probably smuggled it in their luggage.
"How is this possible?" you ask, when you see the virtues of Kobe being touted on television food shows, by famous chefs, and on menus all over the country? A dozen burger joints in Las Vegas alone offer Kobe burgers. Google it and you will find dozens of online vendors happy to take your money and ship you very pricey steaks. Restaurant reviews in the New York Times have repeatedly praised the "Kobe beef" served at high-end Manhattan restaurants. Not an issue of any major food magazine goes by without reinforcing the great fat Kobe beef lie. So how could I possibly be right?
The answer is sadly simplistic: Despite the fact that Kobe Beef, as well as Kobe Meat and Kobe Cattle, are patented terms and/or trademarks in Japan, these are neither recognized nor protected by U.S. law. As far as regulators here are concerned, Kobe beef, unlike say Florida Orange Juice, means almost nothing (the "beef" part should still come from cows). Like the recent surge in the use of the unregulated label term "natural," it is an adjective used mainly to confuse consumers and profit from that confusion. Another popular premium food , Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, "The King of Cheeses," suffers from the same problem and I examine it here. More recently, studies showed that in many major US cities, about half the restaurants and stores selling fish routinely substistuted cheaper imitation seafood for what was ordered and payed for, a story I recently exmained here for Forbes.com.
All this matters because the reason food lovers and expense account diners want Kobe beef, and are willing to pay a huge premium for it, is because of the real Kobe's longstanding reputation for excellence. The con the US food industry is running is leading you to believe that what you are paying huge dollars for – like the $40 NYC "Kobe" burger – is somehow linked to this heritage of excellence. It's not.
All the myths about cows getting massages and drinking beer while listening to classical music are just that, myths, but nonetheless real Kobe beef is produced under some of the world's strictest legal food standards, whereas "domestic Kobe" beef production, along with that in Australia and South America, is as regulated as the Wild West. In Japan, to be Kobe requires a pure lineage of Tajima-gyu breed cattle (not any old Japanese breed crossbred with American cattle as is the norm here). The animal must also have been born in Hyogo prefecture and thus raised on the local grasses and water and terroir its entire life. It must be a bull or virgin cow, and it takes considerably longer to raise a Tajima-gyu for consumption than most other breeds, adding to the cost. It must be processed in a Hyogo slaughterhouse – none of which export to the US – and then pass a strict government grading exam. There are only 3000 head of certified Kobe Beef cattle in the world, and none are outside Japan. The process is so strict that when the beef is sold, either in stores or restaurants, it must carry the 10-digit identification number so customers know what particular Tajima-gyu cow it came from.

CRESTVIEW — First National Bank of Crestview has recognized four children for their homemade piggy bank entries in this year's Piggy Bank Pageant.
Each winner received a $25 check, a certificate, and a gift bag with an activity book, a pencil bag and a plastic piggy bank. Okaloosa Saves, the University of Florida extension office's nonprofit organization that teaches residents how to build wealth, displayed the creations during its Eco-Nomic Living Expo last monthin Fort Walton Beach.
Theron Lasher, 9, and his brother, Orlan, 6, made their piggy banks from recycled plastic bottles, coffee filters and cardboard. Earlier, Orlan won $50 for participating in similar pageant with Okaloosa Saves,
Elijiah Thiessen, 8, and his sister Sophie, 7, made their piggy banks from clay modeling kits.
"We had to bake it in an oven," Elijiah said on Tuesday during an awards presentation at the bank.
The activity has helped the siblings learn to save money, their parents, Tina and Kevin, said.
Saving can pay off in the end, Theron said.
"It's important in case you want to buy a house or something," he said.

And shortly after I was in the kitchen making a bread that I have wanted to try since I saw it on Rachel's blog this summer. I have thought about this bread. And that photo. No less than 100 times. Finally, I had the push I needed to go make it.
It was so good, that I made it again today.
Because truly, is there anything better than the smell of bread baking?
The only thing that may be better is, eating it warm, topped with the jam that you made in the summer, after reading this post. I love how it was all inspired by blogs.
Vest #1 is finished. Photos soon.

For the moment at least, Carroll County High School's tennis teams are homeless.
The tennis courts at Carroll County High School, where the Cavaliers and community members have played tennis for well over 20 years, were shut down March 18 prior to a scheduled boys' tennis match with Galax High School because of large cracks throughout the courts. At that time, Carroll County Superintendent of Schools Dr. Strader Blankenship ordered the courts shut down until further notice.
"When Galax came they had concerns about kids being hurt. I agreed with them that the cracks were dangerous to play on, so I asked if they cared if we rescheduled," Blankenship said. "The courts have really big cracks in them and we basically shut it down. I was afraid kids were going to get hurt stepping in them."
In the meantime, Blankenship said he has asked Eddie Vaughn, the school system's maintenance supervisor, to patch the cracks up so the tennis teams can finish the varsity season at home. The weather has delayed repairs, however, because patches can't be done until it warms up, Blankenship said.
"And a patch isn't going to do it for very long," Blankenship said. "The tennis courts will have to have some major work."
Until temporary patches can be completed, both tennis teams have to play all matches on the road. Making matters worse, there aren't many options available for practice, either.
"The tennis teams can't play or practice there. We are looking for a place for them to practice. Hopefully, if we can get warm weather, it won't take but about a week," Blankenship said. "I've asked them to check at a couple of places around for practice and there aren't that many options. Olde Mill Golf Resort has tennis courts and there is maybe one other place. They can practice hitting indoors, but there is no net, so it is not a very lifelike practice."
Tinsel Slate, head coach of Carroll's girls' tennis team, said the lack of a tennis court hasn't been too much of a problem so far. The weather has been too cold for the team to practice outside most of this spring anyway, she said.
Angel Maggio, head coach of Carroll's boys' tennis team, said her team has just been doing a lot of running since March 18. She said the team tried to practice inside at Carroll County Intermediate School, but had to share the gym with softball and baseball teams. She said it seemed like the team spent most of its time dodging softballs and baseballs that day, so that option didn't work too well, either.
"It's been a challenge, but you do what you can do. We've been told we can practice at Olde Mill, but we've mostly just been running," Maggio said. "We have a young team this year. We only had two returning players from last year so we had a lot of spots open. It was only our third day together when they closed off the tennis courts, so we've not had a lot of time to work together as a team."
Blankenship said it's not a good situation for the tennis teams or community members who also utilize the tennis courts for recreation. But safety always has to be the number one concern, he said.
"Not only the tennis teams, it's also the community. I've asked them to close it off so that nobody can play. I don't want anybody getting hurt," Blankenship said. "Eddie Vaughn is looking into a long-term solution, and I don't even know what that would be at this point. It's probably going to take a good chunk of time and resources, we just don't know yet. My understanding is the courts had a two-foot base underneath them when they built it and it's just not holding up as well as we would like. We don't know if they will have to be replaced or just repaired, but safety is the number one issue here."

Next thing I knew I was in the kitchen. Measuring the ingredients. You know. Because, making cookies for cookie of the week was on the list, too. This could be considered a cookie, right?
Then I was getting the twine. To wrap Libby's for school. I knew she would like this. The boys, not so much. Put theirs in a plastic bag.
Darn recipe only makes twelve. Two for each of the children for after school. One for each of the children to pack in the lunch boxes. That leaves three. Um, yeah. They are delicious. Note to self......double recipe next time.
Also on the list. Knit another pair of these gloves. Writing down exactly what I do as I go along. And on the list for Monday......post the pattern.

The Timberland Lady Wolves volleyball team, the two-time defending Region 7-AA champ, is starting over.
Not from scratch, but Coach Joy Elizondo has to replace five seniors from her 2012 team, including North/South All-Stars Jordan Smith and Destinee Wells. Starting over with a young team is something Elizondo has done before.
With a team fielding three seasoned seniors, Timberland will once again find themselves in the thick of a race for the Region 7-AA crown. These Lady Wolves have "three-peat" on their minds.
Seniors Allysisa Prioleau, Harley Dennis and Jessica Elizondo don't plan on relinquishing any region titles in their final year on the court. They want one more trophy.
"We're in a unique position that we will be able to contend in the region with a really young team," Elizondo said. "While we may not have a team with a great deal of volleyball experience, we are a team of athletes, and you can't keep good athletes down."
Along with Prioleau, Dennis and Elizondo, juniors Taylor Ravenell and Tamarra Robinson have helped Timberland claim the last two regional championships. They know how to win.
"These are some of the most dedicated players I've coached at Timberland," Elizondo said. "They come out every night ready to play."
Junior Katie Shackelford will take over the setting duties and "has worked hard this summer to get ready," Elizondo said. "Our goal every year is to advance higher in the playoff bracket. We've got to make adjustments and take what we learned lasted season and use it."
The Lady Wolves will face some stiff competition in Region 7-AA play. Elizondo sees Lake Marion as one of the region favorites to contend returning all six starters on what she calls "a very athletic team."
"I look for Andrews to return a strong team under Kathy Stewart as well," she added.
There will be two coaching changes in the region for Lake City and Kingstree. The Lady Jaguars lost athletic director and volleyball and basketball coach Sonya Burgess in a car accident on Feb. 18 prior to Kingstree's basketball playoff game with Lake City. Elizondo considered Burgess more than just a colleague, but a close friend.
"It will be difficult this season not talking with Sonya at the pregame meetings where we always shared good laughs," she said. "She will be missed by everyone."
THS will kick its season off in August with the Berkeley County Jamboree.

Such a beautiful and inspiring finish! I have a vintage quilt top that I would really like to finish soon. I'm having a terrible time deciding what to do with it, it's so special. I guess in the end it doesn't really matter, just that it does get finished, used, and loved!

hehe - I luaghed a bit too much at this one - after buying patchwork pants on holidays I'm feeling the crazy quilt lady thing. Got sooo many comments from people rolling their eyes saying 'so you're even sewing patchwork clothes?'. I love this quilt - the fact that it has been bought back to life after someone spent so long piecing all those dresdens is perfect and so special. Such a treasured quilt Allison - love it.

It's beautiful! I've wondered how it turned out. However, I think turning it into an article of clothing may make you a CRAZY quilt lady....think crazy cat lady and substitute the "wearable" quilts for cats. Much better to leave it as is and be the professional quilter that you are! :)

It's beautiful. Reminds me of a quilt that my mom and Grandma made with that same pattern. They would gather all their friends together, stretch the quilt on a huge frame my dad built and sit all around it quilting, laughing and drinking tea. Oh I have many memories like that. I wish I had one of those quilts. If you are ever going to put this one up for sale, would you consider letting me know? Thank you Allison for refreshing that memory today!

Humanity's worst invention: Agriculture
Clive Dennis
22nd September, 2006By radically changing the way we acquire our food, the development of agriculture has condemned us to live worse than ever before. Not only that, agriculture has led to the first significant instances of large-scale war, inequality, poverty, crime, famine and human induced climate change and mass extinction.

The Huskies played the Cardinals close all the way through, but could not come out on top in the end. East Wilkes held on for a 44-38 win.
Ashe took an early 7-6 lead with a three-pointer from Zach Lawrence, and two points each from Eli Gambill and Anderson Moore. East finished the first with five points from Chandler Bare and a basket from Avery Wallis to take a 13-8 lead after one.
The Cardinals extended its advantage early on with a three-point play from Jathan Sales and a three-pointer from Wallis to go up 11 points in the second quarter of action. This time, Ashe closed the quarter strong with four points from Johnathan Cox and a shot from Gambill. East was still in front 23-17 at the half.
In the third quarter, Ashe cut the deficit to four after the frame with four more from Cox, and buckets from Gambill and Seth Sheets.
Entering the fourth, the game was there for the taking for both teams. East opened strong with four points from Wallis and a layup from McKinley Johnson to go ahead 36-26.
The Huskies kept fighting back. Jordan Spell knocked down a long three-point shot, then Cox drove to the hoop for two tough layups, and Alex Laws nailed a long three-pointer to get back to within a single point at 37-36.
With just over a minute left, the Cardinals were on top 40-36 when Laws stole a pass at mid-court and drove to the basket for two points.
After a Husky foul, Johnson was only able to hit one of two from the line with 39 seconds left.
However, Ashe could not capitalize as a layup attempt rolled off the rim with 26 ticks remaining on the clock.
This time Bare went one for two at the line to put the Cardinals up 42-38. With 10 seconds left, an Ashe jumpshot was short and East secured the rebound. Wallis hit a pair of free throws to seal the victory.
Ashe dropped to 2-5 overall and 1-3 in the Mountain Valley Athletic Conference.
Wallis finished with 14 to lead all scorers. Bare chipped in with 10 and Johnson had eight.
Cox finished with 12 points, nine rebounds and seven steals for Ashe. Gambill added six points and seven boards while Spell put in six points. Laws had five points and dished out three assists. Sheets and Lawrence each scored three points, Moore finished with two and Anthony Federico hit one free throw.
The Huskies return to action on Tuesday at Avery County.

blythe wrote:For your readings that are going up and down - search Caryn's posts, she has a lot of good explanations about the biology. If I'm understanding right, it's like there is an "argument" between mom's body and the placenta, so sometimes levels are high, sometimes they are low. But it's virtually inevitable that the placenta will win by hijacking mom's internal systems, it's just a matter of when. That's why we just say "keep watching and reporting".
I didn't see about this particular point, but I learned a lot from Caryn's posts! This point, though--wow does this stick out in my mind. Every time I come away from the OB's office, with the exception of that appointment on Monday where the doc suggested I see the MFM, I feel like maybe this is somehow not real. Maybe I'm just nuts, or being a total hypochondriac, or something. Then I come around here and learn FAR more than I did in the doc's office, and that tells me that no, I'm not wrong for being concerned about a collection of weird, but as-yet subtle symptoms. That explanation, Blythe, is PERFECT. It explains SO MUCH and I just WISH I was hearing stuff like this out of the people who should be a little more on edge, IMO!!
My last OB appt, on Thursday, was both good and frustrating. Good because my baby was moving around much better. Bad because the doc was like well your levels are normal, so we could be out of the woods! She really WANTS this pregnancy to be normal. I do too! But it's. just. not. I told her hey I'm glad the numbers are down and I'm not going boom right now, I'd love to get to at least 34 weeks like one of the other OBs was saying we hopefully could. That would put me at next week. But I reminded her: something is wrong. I don't know what it is, I don't know what to do about it, but something. is. wrong. She moved me to once weekly appointments instead of twice, I only went along with this because the MFM appointment is Tuesday and I'm assuming they're going to probably do a NST. If not, I'm calling the OB that day and trying to get myself in for another one after the MFM appt.
I'm getting very swollen at times. It calms down somewhat but then it gets bad again. My arms will be so swollen I'll have tingling pain from elbows to fingers. This is what happened after I had my daughter. Sometimes my feet have creases at the top from the fluid gain. I gained another 2 pounds from Monday to Thursday. I'm still having the constant, low level irritated uterus feeling, on the contraction part of the monitor it looks like constant, low-level, long, very even waves. The doc tried to say I'm not contracting...okay that's fine, but my uterus is always doing something, it's not real pleasant.
The funny thing is my blood pressure is definitely trending downward, on toward 120-135 over 70-85, but my pulse is almost always above 90 when it usually is between 75 and 80. My lung irritation is worse today. As usual, my inhaler is not helping, it opens the bronchial tubes but doesn't stop the irritation since it's not a steroid. I'm having mild headaches off and on. No URQ pain, just some mild middle back pain similar to what I had last pregnancy toward the end.
Did anyone else have their pulse just start to go up as their BP went down?
And thanks so much Alexis for saying that...I am really grateful to have people in the know who AREN'T looking at me like a crazy woman every time I open my mouth!!

It's all insane! I am definitely going back to only buying British. At first I wasn't too bothered whether I've eaten horse meat--or donkey--but if there's possible health implications due to the meat not being regulated properly then that does bother me. A lot! Most of the products so far seem to have been ready made value meals which I don't eat, and burgers, so I'm probably okay. Probably.
Yuck!! It would really bother me to have eaten/horse/donkey etc and not know it. My sympathies to all of the people affected by this. ( may there be no health repercussions)
The French don't seem to mind.
TBH it doesn't bother me eating horse meat. What I think irks people is being sold stuff that is "100%" Beef, when quite clearly it isn't. However, I think we only have ourselves to blame. We demand cheaper and cheaper food. We want to pay less and less for it. What do we REALLY think we're eating when consuming a cheap basic line lasagne from Tesco? It sure aint going to be quality meat now is it. Personally I hope this gets bigger and bigger, and the supermarkets in the UK get caught out, the way they treat British farmers is absolutely disgusting. As soon as we realise we can't eat meat meals for 99p, and recognise that buying quality meat from the butchers is much better/economical in the long run the better as far as I'm concerned. From a free range corn fed chicken that might cost me 9 quid, I can get a roast dinner out of it for 3, a chicken pie for 3 PLUS some sandwhiches for lunchboxes. From a 3 quid chicken from tesco so much of it is water and pumped full of god knows what it barely feeds 3 of us with a Sunday Roast. Wise up people, boycott the Supermarkets and go back to shopping locally on the highstreet with meat that can be traced from farm to plate. Sorry for the rant but it really annoys me!!!
Horsemeat's yum. They should bring back the slaughterhouses.
I become queasy at the thought of slaughtering horses for consumption. I'm not PETA - it's an organization whose means of getting their message across rival those of right-to-lifers - but I simply can't think of horses as food. Not in my repertoire.
PARIS (Reuters) - In a dingy Parisian back street, diners at a one-of-a-kind bistro tuck lustily into breaded horse brain, pan fried heart of horse and broiled cheek, along with prime rump steaks the chef cuts from the bone himself.
As Ally pointed out above the health implications over the various drugs floating around in the meat is a major concern. As mustangclaire said being lied to about what your eating would certainly tick me off as well.
I don't think it would bother me, I think it all comes down to about being honest about whats in your food. If you buy something that is meant to be 100% beef then that is what it should be. We should be able to pick and choose whether we want to eat horse or not. Obviously there can't be much taste difference because I have not heard of anyone saying that their ready meals/burgers tasted a bit odd. But in the end it all comes down to cost, horse is apparently cheaper than beef and as someone said before we all want cheaper and cheaper food not really caring how we get it.
