I will be the first to admit that quilt binding is not my favorite part of the quilt-making process. I understand that binding a quilt frames it and, done correctly, enhances the design of the body of the fiber art piece. And of course, if you're going to use a quilt (rather than hang it on a wall), binding a quilt is necessary.

While county leadership awaits word on whether Gadsden County will receive any federal stimulus package funding and, if so, how much, governors throughout the country have expressed optimism that the package President Barack Obama has signed will provide some much-needed relief for states.
State leaders are saying that the money will prevent further budget cuts and unemployment rate increases.
A local mom is following her heart when it comes to helping the family of her son's deceased best friend.
Allison Sanchez said her son, Jorge, is having difficulty dealing with the death of his best friend, Christopher Grande, who died Feb. 1 after a bout with cryptococcal meningitis. A student at West Gadsden High School, Grande had been sick for some time, but was expected to get better. His mother had even met with Sylvia Jackson, WGHS principal, to set up a home study program so that Grande could keep up with his school work while he recovered.
Former undersheriff of Gadsden County and former Quincy Police Chief Ed Spooner was named interim sheriff of Okaloosa County Friday morning by Gov. Charlie Crist.
Spooner's appointment came after Charles Morris, sheriff of Okaloosa County, was arrested in Las Vegas on federal theft, fraud, money laundering and conspiracy charges. The 58-year-old Spooner was to begin work in Okaloosa County immediately.
Quincy Police Department Sgt. Troy Gilyard was on street patrol Monday afternoon around 5:30 when he received a call that a baby was not breathing on Betlinet Drive in Quincy.
"I was in the area when I heard the call. I was the first one on the scene," he said.
When Gilyard got out of his vehicle, Tommasena Godwin rushed out of her home with her 1-year-old infant in her hands. Gilyard said she was frantic and screaming that the child wasn't breathing.
"I can tell you where the problem is. It's always going to be money. Even with the new performance, we'll be losing over $600,000 a year," Gadsden Hospital Inc. Board of Directors Chairman Craig McMillan told Gadsden County commissioners Tuesday night during the commission's regular meeting, speaking of the Gadsden Community Hospital and the ever-rising costs attached with opening it.
Eighteen-year-old Roy Jones Jr. was picked up Monday night by law enforcement officers while he was walking alone on Highway 12 in Quincy.
Jones jumped out of a transport van on the way back to the county jail last Friday afternoon. He offered no resistance during his arrest Monday night.
Despite the use of tracking dogs, officers on foot, a helicopter circling most of the day and taped calls to all citizens in the city, Jones managed to elude officers for more than three days.
Marcus Schrenker, the Indiana financial adviser who was arrested in January for parachuting from his airplane while it was left on autopilot, has sent a four-page letter to state officials, his family and media outlets throughout the country proclaiming his innocence.
Damion Demetrius Farlin drove up to the mobile home where his girlfriend and child lived Saturday night to find flames coming out of the windows and doors. Farlin ran into the burning structure and perished.
According to a report on file with the Gadsden County Sheriff's Office, Farlin was yelling that he thought someone was inside the trailer at 14 Sarge's Lane in Sarge's Trailer Park, about two miles south of Quincy.
The report stated that Deputy Justin Wilkerson yelled to Farlin not to enter but the officer was too far away to physically restrain him.
They stole, they said, because "these are hard times."
Two juveniles have been charged following a 1 a.m. burglary of Quincy Liquors on West Crawford Street in Quincy. Eric Herring, 16, and Rashad Baker, 18, were caught a few blocks from the store on G F & A Drive.
According to a report released by the Quincy Police Department, Herring and Baker admitted to taking about $3,600 in cash, five packs of Newport Cigarettes, five single Swisher Sweet blunts, a picture of a black woman and a purple Crown Royal bag containing a pair of pliers.

Richard Schmidt and his partner, Francis Polanksy at NOVA IVF take great care & time with each patient. We did an IVF cycle with them, and were successful! We're now nearing the end of our first trimester of pregnancy. The nurses there are also commendable, very kind to patients hyped up on horomone stimulation drugs and always have a listening ear and kind word to say. The entire staff is professional, patient, always run appointments on time, and call on weekends to follow-up when needed. They stagger appointments to minimize patients running into each other & waiting in the lobby too long (IVF is a VERY private treatment and they fully understand that!). Have recommended to 2 more close friends, and hopefully they will cycle at NOVA soon. They don't contract with insurance, but I had 50% coverage anyway, and their fees are very low compared to other clinics in the area. The embryology lab is extremely competent and we had a huge success and have several more embryos for future!

Rocker, though its been around for hundreds of years, reinvented itself within the last ten. Dont know what it is? In its extreme, picture a rocking chair rail. When you set a full-rocker (aka: reverse camber) ski on the snow without putting weight on it, its tip and tail turn up and its very middle sits flat. On the opposite end of the spectrum, a traditional camber ski touches the ground near the tip and tail while arcing away from the snow in between (when its unweighted).
For the skier rocker comes in different blends. Most commonly: camber underfoot with a rockered tip, camber underfoot with rockered tip and tail, flat (or zero camber) underfoot with rockered tip and tail. The camber underfoot allows for an easier time carving on hardpack snow, while the rocker makes it easier to ski powder and crud (skied-up powder), thanks to improved flotation, shock absorption and maneuverability.
The more rocker a ski has the more powder specific it is. But manufacturers also find that a touch of rocker in the tip makes a ski easier to pivot on groomed snow, which is especially good for skiers who are still learning to set an edge and carve.
Regardless of the type, rockered skis are easier to ski as they shorten the skis snow contact edge. So many people can ski a slightly longer rockered ski than they normally would a traditional camber ski.
For snowboarders rocker might seem like a shiny new thing, but it has come around before. Legend Terry Kidwell touches on the topic in a December 1989 TransWorld interview. His original board was built with rocker.
[It] was a little slippery we used to call it the Skidwell. But his next model shifted things around. It has a bit of camber in it Once the kids get on my new one, they wont want to go back, he stated.
And so, camber dominated for years, until here we are again with rocker choices before us.
What we have now, that we didnt back then for boarders, is the amount of choices and the cutting-edge technology. These options and technology offer you a different stage to play on. If you like a loose, skate-style ride go with an alternative cambered deck and hold on. If faster, precise ripping is how you roll, then stay in control on camber. If you like to mix it up, get something in the middle. Or if youre simply a soul surfer, go with a hull-shaped powder boat. However you haul on snow, know that theres a board to match it, and even some that do it all.
Today all snowboard shops are carrying some type of rocker board alongside traditional camber boards. Shops around the nation from big-box stores to core shops have been educated on the differences between rocker and camber boards and can articulate them clearly.
Check out what ski and board shops around the country think shred best on their local hill.

I was recently looking to do something fancy to a picture of the FSM for my new Venganza Steam group, when I stumbled upon Paint.NET. It's a free program comparable to both GIMP and Photoshop, although to get the power of it, you need to install plugins (nothing more taxing than to drag-and-drop .dll files into a folder). It is backed up by a forum and an extensive tutorial section. Now, i've never used anything more powerful than M$ Paint, so this is all new to me, but with experimentation i'm finding it a pleasure to use. This is my first creation. The pictures have been stolen from the web (and altered by me, as the fish was originally white), but the words are mine using fonts i found online and a little creativeness:-

The Owen County Lady Rebels took part in the "Where's the Beach Classic" over the weekend in Rockcastle County. Maybe the event should have been named the "Where's the Basement Classic?"
After playing Friday night and losing 2-1 to Clay County in extra innings, the Lady Rebels were facing two more games Saturday. They did not know they would be taking on the weather as well.
The results may not have been what they wanted, but there were positive signs last week for the Owen County baseball team. The Rebels played five games last week and won two, but the team scored double-digit runs in three of the contests.
Owen County began the week with a 19-10 win over Frankfort.
They then dropped a 5-2 decision to Lloyd. The Rebels then produced another offensive outburst as they defeated Eminence, 13-2.
The team then closed out the week with a pair of games at Pendleton County. The Rebels dropped the first 12-10 and the second 9-6.
It was a week that offered mixed results for the Owen County softball team. The Lady Rebels played a pair of games against 31st District rivals picking up a win and a loss.
The week began with a game in New Castle against Henry County. The Lady Wildcats got the best of the Lady Rebels with a 6-1 win.
Owen County then remained on the road as they travelled to Warsaw to take on Gallatin County. It was the second meeting between the two schools in nine days.
The rivalry may not be what it once was, but don't tell that to members of the Owen County or Grant County boys' basketball teams. The two schools — that for years played heated contests in equally hot and cramped gymnasiums — played another close game Saturday in Dry Ridge.
The gyms may now be bigger but the game Saturday was equally good. On Saturday night, Owen County held off Grant County for a 73-67 win.
It was the second win this season over Grant County.
Owen County High School junior Sawyer Williams may be busy on the hardwood these days, but he was recently honored for his efforts last fall on the gridiron.
Williams was named as an honorable mention to the Kentucky All-State High School Football Team.
For the season, Williams led the Rebels in tackles with 62 and fumble recoveries with three.
Owen County High School Head Football Coach Adam Fowler said Sawyer is nearly unblockable on the defensive line when he gets after the quarterback.
It was a week of streaks for the Owen County High School Boys Basketball team. Two streaks to be exact, and both involve the number two.
On Jan. 4, the Rebels defeated Gallatin County for the second time this season. The 54-50 victory marked the first time since 2005 Owen County has won two straight over their rivals from Warsaw.
"It's the first time in a long time," said Justin Shelton of the two-game winning streak.
Where: Walton-Verona High School
When: Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights
What is at stake: A trip to Richmond for the State All 'A' Classic Feb. 2-6
Last year in Warsaw it was Walton-Verona who cut down the nets as they defeated Carroll County, Owen County and Gallatin County on their way to the championship.
The Lady Bearcats' win last year was their first trip to Richmond since 2000 when they won the tournament at Trimble County.
For the second-consecutive week, a Runnin' Rebel has been named NCKC Player of the Week.
Sophomore guard Zach Ripy scored 27 points in two conference wins over Trimble County and Carroll County
Ripy shot over 50 percent from the floor while handing out seven assists with six steals.
If the Owen County Rebels fell asleep before midnight on New Year's Eve, it would be hard to blame them.
The team had just finished four games in three days that led to their winning the Shirley Kearns Invitational at Model Laboratory High School in Richmond.
Owen County opened up pool play Dec. 28 against Clinton County.
The Rebels got off to a good start before allowing the Bulldogs to get back in the game. In the end, the Rebels prevailed with a 65-56 win.
While most were returning unwanted sweaters at the mall last week, the Owen County Lady Rebels were playing some of their best basketball of the season.
Last week, the team spent three days in Shelby County taking part in the Max Performance Invitational.
After falling in their opener against Male High School, the Lady Rebels cruised to a pair of victories over Shelby County and Bishop Brossart.
Owen County began the week with a match-up against the Lady Bulldogs from Male. The game was tight for three quarters.

1. What is Bluetooth?
Bluetooth is a technology that makes short-range wireless connections between devices (such as your Mac and your mouse or keyboard) at distances up to 10 meters (33 feet). For more information on Bluetooth, see the official Bluetooth website.
Your Bluetooth-enabled iPhone can act as a modem for your Mac through your wireless service provider. Learn more about creating a personal hotspot with your iPhone.
2. How do I find out if my Mac has Bluetooth?
Most Mac computers come with Bluetooth technology built-in. To determine whether your computer supports Bluetooth do one of the following:
- Look for the Bluetooth Icon in the menu bar. If the Bluetooth icon is present, your computer has Bluetooth.
- Choose System Preferences from the Apple () menu and Bluetooth from the View menu. If the Bluetooth preferences lists options for enabling Bluetooth and making your device discoverable, Bluetooth is installed.
- From the Apple () menu choose About this Mac, then click More Info. Select Bluetooth from the Hardware section. If the Hardware Setting section populated with information, your system has Bluetooth installed.
3. What do the icons on the Bluetooth menu bar mean?
The Bluetooth menu bar icon in the upper-right of your display provides information about the status of Bluetooth and any devices that are connected. Refer to the chart below for each icon's meaning.
|Bluetooth menu icon
|Bluetooth status
|Bluetooth is on, but there are no devices connected to the Mac.
See the "Make sure the wireless mouse or keyboard is turned on" section of Troubleshooting wireless mouse and keyboard issues.
|Bluetooth is on and at least one wireless device is connected.
See the "Make sure the wireless mouse or keyboard is turned on" section of Troubleshooting wireless mouse and keyboard issues.
|At least one wireless device has a low battery.
Click the Bluetooth icon to identify the affected device, then replace the batteries.
|Bluetooth is off.
Click the Bluetooth icon using a USB mouse and select "Turn Bluetooth On". Note: Mac OS X won't allow Bluetooth to be turned off unless a USB mouse is connected.
|Bluetooth unavailable.
Restart your Mac. If the Bluetooth status doesn't change, disconnect all USB devices and restart your Mac again.
4. How does my Mac know which wireless devices to use?
Bluetooth wireless devices are associated with your computer through a process called "pairing." After a wireless device is paired, authentication occurs automatically for future connections.
Many Mac computers that come with a wireless keyboard and mouse are pre-paired at the factory, so you don't need to pair the wireless mouse and keyboard. Turn on the mouse and keyboard and your Mac should automatically connect with these devices as the computer starts up.
To "pair" a Bluetooth device with your computer, see this article.
5. How do I add or remove a wireless device to or from my Mac (pairing or unpairing)?
Use the Bluetooth Setup Assistant to set up your device to work with your computer by "pairing" the device with your computer:
- Find the Bluetooth icon in the menu bar in the upper-right of your display.
- Choose Set up Bluetooth Device from the Bluetooth status menu.
If the Bluetooth status menu isn't visible in your menu bar, use these steps to open the Bluetooth Setup Assistant:
- Choose System Preferences from the Apple () menu, then choose Bluetooth from the View menu.
- Enable the "Show Bluetooth status in the menu bar" option.
Learn more about pairing your keyboard, mouse, or trackpad with your Mac.
After you pair a device with your computer, you should see the device listed in Bluetooth preferences.
6. What is the difference between "paired" and "connected?"
Pairing is the creation and exchange of a passkey between two devices to establish a new relationship between them. This happens automatically when you pair a device. After you pair the devices, a passkey is stored and authentication occurs automatically during future connections. The passcode is usually needed only once during the initial setup of the wireless device. For many Mac computers the pairing process is completed at the factory, which eliminates this step.
"Connected" means that your Mac is communicating with a wireless device. Devices that are not within 10 meters (33 feet) or are turned off will display as 'Not Connected' in the Bluetooth preferences pane.
7. How long does it take my computer to recognize a device while pairing a device with the Bluetooth Setup Assistant?
After you've selected which type of device you are looking for, it can take up to 30 seconds for all discoverable devices to appear on the list. If your wireless device does not appear on the list after 30 seconds, make sure that it has fresh batteries and it is turned on. You may need to turn the device off and back on to place the wireless device into discoverable mode. Most devices remain in discoverable mode only for approximately three minutes after they power on.
8. How do I remove a device from the device list?
Using the Bluetooth preferences, select the device you want to remove to highlight it, then click the minus sign. It is recommended that you remove a device from this list while the device is connected.
9. After my computer starts up or wakes from sleep, when will the wireless devices become active?
Wireless devices are usually available a few moments after the computer completes the startup process. After waking from sleep, Apple Magic Mouse and Apple Wireless Keyboard (2009) should be available right away. Other wireless devices can take up to 5 seconds to be recognized when waking from sleep. You may need to click a button on the wireless mouse once or twice to wake it up.
Some Bluetooth devices—such as audio headsets—may disconnect to conserve the devices battery power after no audio or data is present for a certain amount of time. In such cases, you may need to push a button on the device or headset to make it active again. Check the documentation that came with your device for more information.
10. What is the quickest way to wake my computer up from sleep?
Clicking the mouse button is the fastest way to wake up your computer. To wake up the computer using the keyboard, press a key. In some circumstances, you may need to press the space bar on the keyboard to wake the computer.
If this does not wake the computer, you may need to allow wireless devices to wake up your computer:
- Open Bluetooth preferences (choose System Preferences from the Apple () menu, then Bluetooth from the View menu).
- Click Advanced.
- Enable the checkbox next to "Allow Bluetooth Devices to wake this computer". If this selection is grayed out, it is already enabled.
11. What are common terms used Bluetooth and what do they mean?
See this brief glossary of Bluetooth terms.
12. How many devices can be connected to a Bluetooth device simultaneously?
The official Bluetooth specifications state seven is the maximum number of Bluetooth devices that can be connected at once. However, three to four devices is a practical limit, depending on the types of devices and profiles are used. Some devices require more Bluetooth data, so they are more demanding than other devices. Data-intensive devices may reduce the total number of devices that can be active at the same time. If a Bluetooth device becomes slow to connect or does not perform reliably, reduce the total number of connected devices.
13. Can other household devices interfere with a Bluetooth signal?
Bluetooth shares the 2.4 GHz ISM band with other household devices such as cordless telephones and wireless networks, as well as some baby monitors and microwave ovens. If you are experiencing issues that you suspect might be due to frequency congestion, refer to AirPort and Bluetooth: Potential sources of wireless interference for further information.
14. When is the best time to press a startup key using a Bluetooth keyboard?
You can press startup keys during startup to perform functions like using the recovery partition or resetting NVRAM. For best results using a Bluetooth keyboard, wait until you hear the startup chime before pressing and holding any startup key sequences. For more information see:

The Orioles designated pitcher Zach Clark for assignment today to make room for Freddy Garcia, reports Roch Kubatko of MASNsports.com (on Twitter). The 29-year-old Clark made just one appearance for the O's this year, his first in the big leagues, allowing three earned runs in just 1 2/3 innings of work.
The club also outrighted catcher Luis Exposito to its Triple-A affiliate after the catcher cleared waivers, Kubatko further tweeted. Exposito was designated for assignment after the club acquired Chris Snyder to replace the injured Taylor Teagarden.
Garcia will start tonight for the Orioles.

A proposal limiting to 2 percent the pay raises firefighter and police unions are able to get in arbitrated contracts with fiscally distressed communities is being billed as a way to help struggling communities remain solvent.
The state comptrollers office has designated communities as fiscally distressed if, over a five-year period, they have reserve funds that are less than 5 percent of their budgets, or their tax rate ranks among the top 25 percent in the state. A proposal in Gov. Andrew M. Cuomos executive budget limits to 2 percent the raises these communities can give to their police and firefighter unions if contracts are reached through binding arbitration.
In binding arbitration, an arbitrator listens to both sides and draws the terms of a contract both sides have to accept.
William D. Nelson, Ogdensburg mayor and president of the New York Conference of Mayors, said the proposal will help struggling communities.
Ogdensburg is listed as a fiscally distressed city.
The arbitrator would have to take into account the fiscal situation of the community that hes looking to make an award to, Mr. Nelson said. It will look at the true financial picture of a municipality. There are a number of communities across the state that are on the verge of bankruptcy.
He said the proposal is one more tool to assist towards financial stability.
Also among the north country municipalities on the list of distressed communities are St. Lawrence, Jefferson and Lewis counties, the city of Watertown and the villages of Potsdam, Canton, Massena, Gouverneur, Dexter, Adams, Carthage, Lowville, Malone and Saranac Lake.
The governors proposal has come under attack by the International Association of Firefighters, which in a released statement called Mr. Cuomos proposal an assault on the livelihoods of the firefighters and police across the state.
But Ogdensburg Firefighters Association President Terry Shaver said the proposal might not have much of an effect.
Weve never had to come to binding arbitration, he said.
Because of that, Mr. Shaver said, he isnt worried.
Quite honestly, I dont have an opinion, Mr. Shaver said. Its not policy yet.
St. Lawrence County Sheriff Kevin M. Wells echoed that sentiment.
The only way they could come into play is if somebody went into binding arbitration, he said. I dont see it having a huge effect here.
International Association of Firefighters President Harold A. Schaitberger wrote in a letter to Mr. Cuomo the proposal would make the binding arbitration law unworkable.
Your proposal will negatively impact over 6,000 firefighters in 102 jurisdictions throughout the state, he wrote. Our economists believe that, as crafted, your proposal would effectively allow 95 percent of jurisdictions to avoid binding interest arbitration by falling into a fiscally distressed category.

A recent U.S. study has confirmed that women who have abortions increase the likelihood of suffering from severe mental health issues. The study by Dr. Priscilla Coleman of Bowling Green State University, published in the prestigious British Journal of Psychiatry, found that women who opt to abort their babies nearly double their risk of mental health problems, compared to women who deliver their babies. "Coleman's study is based on an analysis of 22 separate studies which, in total, examine the pregnancy experiences of 877,000 women, with 163,831 women having an abortion," reported the pro-life news site LifeNews.com. "The study also indicated abortion accounts for one in ten of every adverse mental health issue women face as a whole."
Coleman explained that the purpose of the study was "to produce an unbiased analysis of the best available evidence addressing abortion as one risk factor among many others that may increase the likelihood of mental health problems." She said the research confirmed that there are "some real risks associated with abortion that should be shared with women as they are counseled prior to an abortion."

"AP510 This is the masters course. You have four things to do: (4) provide at least 10 posts defending ID that you've made on "hostile" websites, the posts totalling 3,000 words, along with the URLs (i.e., web links) to each post (worth 20% of your grade).
Ya think RSW has earned her/his Masters in ID?
Who'd have thunk you could earn a degree for trolling the internet!

Thank you for the link to The-Christian-Anti-Education-School. It's Almost as much a parody of Education as our site is of ID. Since their students are getting academic credit for the seminars that we are teaching, we should get Bobby to charge them tuition, and we should be paid stipends for the sections that we teach. All other educational institutions work that way.

@ @ 978 - Wench Nikkiee - ,
By the way, does "CoFSM" also stand for "College of the Flying Spaghetti Monster"?
These are in the Academic Endorsements 1 thread on the Evidence tab. I revisited the linked site yesterday to check the undergraduate course:
Philo2483 Intelligent Design or Unintelligent Evolution.
While there I noticed on the course description page, centered under the seminary's name, was a quote:
What you believe to be true will control whether it's true or not.
-Jeremy LaBorde
This quote, obviously endorsed by the seminary, takes the concept of evidence based science as we know it and turns it on its ear. I believe that we need to distribute this quote attached to Dr Dempski's name by the courses he teaches and see that it is distributed far enough to prevent him from ever credibly trying to represent science in public again.

Near daily attacks -- including shootings, bombings and even beheadings -- mean violence is a part of life for many in Thailand's far south.

money, beer, sex and jaffa cakes. and that's just christmas eve.
I got a 19" pink Hello Kitty TV a few weeks ago as one of my early presents from my parents. I use it as my computer monitor.
I also got a new printer one day early because my printer conveniently just pooped out and I needed it to print shipping labels. I'm actually really glad because it forced me to replace the old PoS that's been long overdue for an upgrade. The new one has so many functions for such a low price!
I told my parents all I wanted was the monitor, but of course, my mother insisted that she buy me the new printer and she also got me a few other things which I won't know what they are until I open them tomorrow.
I'll post pictures later. OuO
Let's take a moment to go back in time <insert sexy narcissistic music here (very likely a hot Korean male artist or boy band)>: When I was younger, my parents lavished my two brothers and I with a shit ton of gifts on Christmas, despite the late bills and debt. :/ I was that kid that could fill up at least half a page of paper listing every gift I received.
I have to admit, I loved the feeling of knowing there was a mysterious item in Christmas-themed wrapping paper that was for me, and it lasted a good hour or so because my family would cycle through each person one by one. I also enjoyed watching my family open their gifts and felt excited for them. Everyone was happy. It was happy! I do miss that feeling. Having less gifts means less of that feeling I felt. Less time my family is huddled on the couches, attentive to every person's opening moment, smiling, laughing, and staying. As my brothers got older (I'm the youngest), it meant the shorter they stayed on Christmas day. So yes, MY FAVORITE PART IS PRESENTS, OK! Like, free stuff.
Now that I'm older and more aware of the fact that my parents have a debt to overcome and that I don't deserve shit, I typically only ask for one semi-big gift or several small items. YES, it is always Hello Kitty-related! I'm so glad you knew that before I told you. It's like we've been besties all our lives! Ou~
I've tried to get away with "I don't want anything," but I would still end up with shit that I usually didn't want. Might as well get something I want!
/end flashback
I got like 100 dollars and BlazBlue Chronophantasma pre-ordered. Scratch that, I got 400 dollars and the preorder.
Everyone said they're giving me something later. I don't want anything, I agree with Apoca I'm alittle spoiled now, despite my past.
Feel like I gotta put more in to life before I get spoiled anymore.

I don't know. I haven't given out my phone and address to my relatives, so they have no way of informing me of any presents I got a nidalee skin and an amumu skin though.

Nothing. I didn't know what I would like, and aparantly the phone I asked for will be given on my b-day this week. I got money instead.

LeslieSeattleHairDark BrownNormal HairChemically Treated HairI Can't Live Without This GelI swim in indoor chlorinated pools and this gel is essential for me. I have color treated hair and this gel really protects my color and condition. I wear a swim cap with it. I have tried using conditioner and a swim cap but the conditioner leaks out and by the time I'm done swimming, it's all gone. The gel is waterproof so it stays put. It's a little hard to shampoo out afterward but I use a clarifying shampoo. My hairdresser says my hair is in great shape--rare for a swimmer. I hope they haven't discontinued this product!!!!

KatieHairAuburnDry HairCurly HairFine or Thin HairThe Un-frizzer!I've never found a product that kept my hair un-frizzy until this. For years and years I've flat ironed my hair to get the undesirable frizz out of the way. With this product I put a small amount in my wet hair, twirl it around my fingers a few times, and get the most AMAZING, non-frizzy, curl/wave that I could ask for. My hair looks the same, if not better then when i use a large-barrel curling iron. I definitely love this product!! It lasts forever too because you only need to use a very small amount. Those that said the product made their hair look greasy, simply did NOT ready the directions like one should on any hair product that they use.

Police: Eugene gang planned Halloween shooting
EUGENE, Ore. - Police uncovered and disrupted a plot by street gang members to gun down rival gang members on Halloween day in retaliation for a botched drive-by shooting in September, the Eugene Police Department said Friday.
Both gangs have been put on notice that police are aware of all the details. Police believe that the shooting is now less likely to occur.
Patrols have been stepped up in the area where the shootings were to take place, and officers have been going door-to-door to provide information to citizens.
Police have also issued safety tips for trick-or-treaters.
"We believe we interrupted the potential for immediate violence between these two gangs," said Detective Greg Harvey. "While we don't wish to unduly alarm the public, it is important for everyone to be aware of these types of situations and report them to police. Gang activity can spill over to affect innocent bystanders and we want to prevent this type of thing from occurring in our community and neighborhoods."
The investigation started the afternoon of Sept. 23 with a report of four criminal street gang members with a handgun driving in the Trainsong Park area of Eugene.
The Eugene Police Department discovered four members of the South Side Play Boy Sureno Trece criminal street gang drove to the area of Trainsong Park, where they located several members of the West Side Piru criminal street gang.
The South Side Play Boy Sureno Trece gang attempted to shoot a handgun at the rival gang from the vehicle.
Investigators learned that the gun malfunctioned, preventing the shooting.
After the Trainsong Park incident, police discovered a conspiracy by members of the West Side Piru criminal street gang to retaliate against the South Side Play Boy Sureno Trece gang for the attempted shooting.
Police said members of the West Side Piru gang had planned to locate members of the South Side Play Boy Sureno Trece gang in the area of the Churchill Village housing area on Halloween and shoot them.
The investigation is continuing.
Police have been going door-to-door in that neighborhood to provide information to residents in person where possible.
Police increased patrols in the area for at least a week, to provide a presence.
For trick or treating and outside activities:
- Police advise residents to ensure good parental supervision and that children and adults go out in groups (which is always a good idea any).
- Residents and those in the area should be aware of any suspicious activity and report it quickly as you would any other suspicious activity that looks like it could be criminal.
Gangs are defined as a group of people who form an allegiance for a common purpose, who engage in criminal activity and who conform to one or more of the following traits.
- Share a common group name;
- Share common symbols, tattoos or graffiti;
- Share a common style of dress;
- Frequently congregate upon, or lay claim to a geographic location; and associate together on a regular or continuous basis.
In Eugene, gangs are spread out over the city and are not based on neighborhoods or schools, police said.
Police encourage anyone who sees a suspicious condition in conjunction with that criteria to please report it. Without the original caller, EPD would not have known about this at all, which would have led to further violent acts. This is a prime example that fighting street gangs criminal activity involves the community and neighborhoods in partnership with police.

Katie Miller spent the first half of her undergraduate education at the United States Military Academy. At West Point, she ranked 8th out of her class of over 1,100 cadets when evaluated on academic performance, physical fitness and military leadership. However, Miller could not square her honor as an aspiring Army Officer with the daily half-truths required from her under the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy. In 2010, she publicly announced resignation from the academy on MSNBC's The Rachel Maddow Show and was honorably discharged from the military.Miller immediately joined the founding board of OutServe - the association of actively-serving LGBT servicemembers - and served as a spokesperson in major media interviews, including: The New York Times, MSNBC, CNN, ESPN, NPR and the BBC. She also escorted Lady Gaga to the 2010 MTV Video Music Awards.A Truman scholar, Miller graduated in 2012 from Yale University with a B.A. in political science. She continues to advocate for sound LGBT military personnel policy as a board member for the newly merged OutServe-SLDN, making her the youngest board member of a major LGBT organization.Miller joined the LGBT Research and Communications team at the Center for American Progress last fall, and she is currently pursuing Marine Corps Officer Candidate School.

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) — If Michael Dell indeed has surrendered to the new reality of a post-PC world, tech investors may soon benefit from a wave of big-cap restructurings that unlock shareholder value.
Now that a report of private-equity buyout talks for Dell US:DELL has surfaced, though, shareholders of rival Hewlett-Packard Co. may be the biggest beneficiaries of such a trend — but only if H-P Chief Executive Meg Whitman follows Dell's lead.
Dell shares jump on buyout chatter
PC maker's stock soars on a report that the company is in takeover talks with private-equity firms. (Photo: Getty Images)
That's because H-P US:HPQ is now better positioned than Dell in the personal-computer market, which still throws off gobs of cash even as it's shrinking.
Just as important, H-P's investments in software over the past few years (albeit overpriced and bungled) mean there is more hidden value inside the Silicon Valley giant than there is in its chief rival. To put it more bluntly: H-P will benefit more from a needed restructuring than Dell, if only because the former will have more cash to pay for it all.
So the question is whether H-P's board and executive team will have the courage to do what's right, by voting to break up the company, even though it will put them out of their current jobs.
Timing of M&A talks no mystery
I'm guessing it's no coincidence that word of a possible Dell takeover came the same day a report from market-research firm Gartner Inc. showed fourth-quarter global PC shipments by all vendors fell almost 5%, from a year earlier. Read the Gartner report: Declining worldwide PC shipments signal structural shift.
This same report showed that Dell just had an especially horrible quarter, with shipments falling a disastrous 21% and its global market share shrinking to 10.2%, from 12.2% a year earlier.
As I wrote in an August column, Michael Dell was not the right person to try to revive his namesake company. See: When founders are the wrong CEO pick.
While Dell was smart enough not to overpay for software or networking technologies — as H-P did when it bought Autonomy and 3Par — he fared no better in managing the transition to a tablet-based computing market.
That's why Dell shares had fallen more than 50% from the time of its founder's return in 2007 to the date of that column, and why they kept falling to within 5% of a 10-year low in November.
Only then did the Round Rock, Texas-based company's market capitalization drop to a level low enough to attract the potential interest of private-equity firms.
Dell shares have risen 20% since then, even before news of a possible buyout caused their Monday surge.

OMAHA, Neb. - Weather Related Travel Complications have forced the Creighton Baseball team to cancel its trip to Beaumont, Texas to play in the Lamar YMBL Cardinal Classic (Feb. 22-24).
Due to flight difficulties and weather related delays, the Creighton Baseball team was unable to travel to Beaumont, Texas on the originally scheduled flight for Thursday morning.
The Jays attempted to find alternate flights to arrive in Beaumont as quickly as possible, however the Jays were unable to reschedule participation in the YMBL Cardinal Classic.
Head coach Ed Servais has been actively searching for alternate games since it became clear that participation in the YMBL Cardinal Classic was in doubt.
"We've got calls into three or four other teams and hope to hear something later this afternoon," said Servais. "We remain hopeful that we can still play at least two games this weekend."

18 U.S. Code § 703 - Uniform of friendly nation
Whoever, within the jurisdiction of the United States, with intent to deceive or mislead, wears any naval, military, police, or other official uniform, decoration, or regalia of any foreign state, nation, or government with which the United States is at peace, or anything so nearly resembling the same as to be calculated to deceive, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than six months, or both.
Source(June 25, 1948, ch. 645, 62 Stat. 732; Pub. L. 103–322, title XXXIII, § 330016(1)(E),Sept. 13, 1994, 108 Stat. 2146.)
Historical and Revision Notes
Based on section 246 of title 22, U.S.C., 1940 ed., Foreign Relations and Intercourse (July 8, 1918, ch. 138, 40 Stat. 821).
Words "upon conviction" were deleted as surplusage, since punishment cannot be imposed until a conviction is secured.
Reference to territories or places subject to jurisdiction of the United States was omitted in view of section 5 of this title defining the term "United States."
Fine of "$250" was substituted for "$300" as being more consonant with the penalties provided for similar offenses in this chapter.
Words "unless such wearing thereof be authorized by such state, nation, or government" were deleted as unnecessary and undesirable since it is unthinkable that a friendly power would authorize such deceit.
Minor changes were made in phraseology.
1994—Pub. L. 103–322substituted "fined under this title" for "fined not more than $250".

"Our directory includes more Microsoft Tags than any other publication."
The 2011 KOA Directory includes complete descriptions of all 474 KOA locations in North America, as well as detailed driving directions and locator maps. Each campground listing has a Tag that, when scanned with a smartphone, takes campers to a mobile site where they can view additional content specific to that location, such as photographs, videos, and up-to-date "Hot Deals." More than 1 million copies of the directory will be distributed at campgrounds and mailed to campers.
"We chose the Microsoft Tag technology because we are quickly able to change a Tag's destination on the internet, if need be," Gast says. "Tags allow us to keep the experience fresh for our campers. This is just the beginning of the blending of our printed directory and our online content."

That quilt is just gorgeous. It's always amazing to me that you can add the work of so many individuals together and yet somehow, together, they look amazing.ReplyDelete
Hope your elbow heals well and quickly!
LOVE THE TOP! The framing strips are perfect! Hope your elbow is better in record time!ReplyDelete
It's wonderful! I find it amazing as well that so many different fabrics/blocks somehow seem to work together so well. Hope you have a speedy recovery!ReplyDelete
The top is beautiful! Looking forward to seeing the new additions to it. I hope that your elbow is better soon, thereby giving you the chance to add those blocks sooner.ReplyDelete
This quilt top is gorgeous! I love the story behind it as well. So fun!ReplyDelete
You were right about the boarder on each block - its really lovely!ReplyDelete
Too cool! Nothing like an unknown (I don't think stranger is right) friend to step up and help out! Gotta love these quilting peeps:0) Sorry to hear about the elbow! I've got a daughter who lives in Raleigh who has fallen a few times in the last few weeks, nothing broken thankfully! Prayers for a speedy recovery. SarahReplyDelete
The green, purple and brown block is my fave I think. They are all pretty amazing:)ReplyDelete
BTW, hope that arm heals quickly so you can get back to creating:)ReplyDelete
Dude...that's NOT the way to get attention!!:PReplyDelete
How in the world are you blogging with a busted up elbow?
Well...be careful....maybe you need a bag of salt in your car?:)
BTW...great photos!
The quilt is wonderful and yes 3x4 would be way to small for you. Hope you recover nicely from the surgery.
HEAL QUICKLY! <3 The block in the lower left corner of the pictures is my favorite... =)ReplyDelete
Thats awesome!ReplyDelete
I hope you are recovering from surgery good! Im sending some positive thoughts your way!
When I see most quilts I love seeing them far away because most material selections are disappointing up close. This one is really neat to see close up! Hope that your funny bone heals soon!ReplyDelete
Your quilt is amazing already, and I can't wait to see it with the additional blocks! Hope your surgery went well and you are on the road to recovery!!ReplyDelete
The framing around the blocks look great. You should have something big enough to wrap up in when all is said and done.ReplyDelete
Hope your elbow is mending well and isn't too horribly painful.
gorgeous quilt John, hope the elbow recovery is smooth and quick!ReplyDelete
Love the color combination! Hope you are all recovered soon.ReplyDelete
Omgosh, I love the quilt. It is awesome. Hope you are on the mend soon.ReplyDelete

I love IT! How great it is. My husband has a great eye, but still can't get him to sketch or sew at the table, well sew anywhere. I will for sure be adding your site to my favs.ReplyDelete
The quilt is so pretty and unique. I love the colors and how the red doesn't dominate the quilt even though there is a lot of red in it. It is very lovely.ReplyDelete
BTW You and your elbow are in my prayers for a quick and full recovery. And. . .
You are so awesome!! Thanks for adding name/url. There are a lot of blogs I would comment to but they don't have that one line. I follow them anyway just as I have you for almost a year now. Thanks.
It's so good to have friends to quilt with! Hope you are recovering as well as you had hoped.ReplyDelete
It looks awesome! I'm just making an Odyssea picnic quilt at the moment... great fabric line. Hope the surgery went well!ReplyDelete
