"Oblivious" was the adjective we used to describe the actions of the couple in that crying young Rangers fan video that went viral on Thursday.
It was a good choice, too, because that couple is now saying they're guilty as charged when it comes to not being aware of their surroundings. After seeing their actions spark a gigantic debate on baseball etiquette, Sean Leonard and his fiancee Shannon Moore told a Dallas television station that they had no idea the young boy next to them was crying or even upset over missing out on the baseball after Rangers first baseman Mitch Moreland tossed it into the stands.
Leonard and Moore say they were simply caught up in the moment during Wednesday's Rangers-Yankees game and would've given the toddler the ball had they seen he was upset. The couple has a combined seven children between them and is scheduled to be married this weekend.
While the debate reached the masses, it was something Leonard said he hadn't even realized happened.
"My fiancee Shannon and I were honestly unaware of the situation of the little boy sitting next to us last night since we were so caught up in the excited and moment of being at our first Ranger's baseball game together," he wrote in a statement.
Leonard said as a soon-to-be large combined family of seven, that he and Shannon understand the emotions of a young child at a game. They spoke to News 8 Thursday afternoon.
"I love children, I would never hurt someone," Shannon Moore said. "It's very hurtful, especially when you know you wouldn't intentionally hurt somebody or hurt their feelings ...especially when it's a little-bitty toddler."
Moore and Leonard say they would like an apology from Yankees broadcaster Michael Kay for needlessly criticizing them throughout the late innings of the Rangers' 7-3 win.
Do they deserve one? It's hard to say. For better or worse, Kay's shtick is that of the shlub in the stands and his reaction was one that most of us were having at home as we watched the situation unfold. Kay described the couple as "oblivious," a charge that they accepted. It wasn't until the video hit the supercharged world of social media and Internet comments that the couple was vilified way beyond the seriousness of their offense. (To be clear, I was more amused at the trouble their self absorption was getting them into than I was offended that the little boy didn't get the ball. I did, however, feel for the little boy's disappointment.)
But as is usually the case with viral fan stories like these, it's probably only a matter of time before everyone ends up on morning television and a happy ending is declared as their 15 minutes of fame runs out. Could a reunion between the two sides be in the works?
The yahoo story with pics
As for me, it depends on how much I want the ball and who hit it, and how much it would be worth if it became part of history. Other than that, I would probably give it to a kid nearby, and that would be by choice, not because I felt like I had to with possible taunts by fucktards in the crowd, and more fucktards to post stupid crap about the situation.
Fans have a right to go to a game and enjoy it with whoever they're with, not to be taunted and ridiculed.

Apr 27 @ 8:50PM
If it had been me, and I saw that little guy crying like that, I would have given the ball to him.
As for the couple, hey, they were "in the moment", and crowds can be quite loud at games. They didn't intentionally take that ball from that kid...to vilify them like the media has is bullshit.
Apr 27 @ 8:57PM
Someone that paid for tickets, were there for their own fun, caught the ball with their
own hands, and enjoyed their time.
Next to them, was a crybaby that did not pay his own way, wanted something someone
else worked for, he did not get 'their' stuff for free, even though he threw a fit..........

If they want the brat to have whatever he wants, it's his parents job. Not the strangers sitting

Another Socialist in the making?
Certainly looks like he may be on the road to it.
If my kid started to act like that, I would tell him/her that we'll keep trying to catch that ball that's just waiting for us to catch it. I would try to get my kid's attention off it and onto something else that's fun.
Apr 27 @ 9:40PM
Why is this even a story- the kid got the ball anyway... end of story!
Apr 27 @ 10:44PM
OMG Some kid crying and strangers were to pay attention and give the child what it wanted . Where were the parents in this ? I listen to screaming children daily because their parents could care less. Maybe next game another kid can start crying and screaming he doesn't like the broadcaster and he can be gone . or can he .
Apr 28 @ 10:41AM
I saw this on ESPN the other day...
I Love childern...I really do....! BUT.....
That chap is just spoiled rotten!!!
I wouldn't have given him the ball....either....
Thats whats wrong with our Youth today...Spoiled Stinking ass Rotten...they are!!!
Hell, they gave him a Ball anyways ....because he Balled...for a Ball!!!!
I hope that every child that goes to a game from now on...throws a fit...for a baseball!
Apr 28 @ 3:57PM
I saw that on ESPN and even our local news in Missouri (it happened in Texas).
I am with a lot of the others... tough shit tit!!! If it was my kid, I would have used one of my dad's lines, "Quit your damned crying or I'll give you something to cry about."
I am also with Som in that it is a "so what", "who cares" story that is not newsworthy at all
As for me, it depends on how much I want the ball and who hit it,
I don't think anybody hit it. I may be mistaken, but I am pretty sure the ball was tossed into the stands by a player.
Fans have a right to go to a game and enjoy it with whoever they're with, not to be taunted and ridiculed.
Yeah, and not have to listen to somebody's crying brat. I hate that in stores, restaurants, etc. when the parents won't take the kid outside. It is selfish and rude.

text: My name is Hannah Brown and I am 12 years old and going into the seventh grade. I think the Auburn Placer County Library is the best library ever! However, when I last went there, I noticed the summer reading program for teens. It is great to encourage teens to read over the summer, but not in the way they are doing it. For the teens, if you read a certain number of books, you get awarded prizes. Among the usual prizes of mugs and bags, there are gift certificates to Carl's Jr. Teens love fast food, but it is so bad for their bodies! They should have gift certificates to Jamba Juice and other places where teens would enjoy eating and it's good for them. I have read numerous books over this summer and plan to read many more, but because of the fast food certificates, I have decided not to do the summer program. Hannah Brown, Auburn

The familiar colors of NASCAR will continue to fly over the Waterford Speedbowl.
Speedbowl officials announced Friday that the track has had its NASCAR sanction renewed and will be part of the NASCAR Whelen All-American Series in 2009.
"We're pleased to announce we will continue to race under the NASCAR banner in 2009," Speedbowl owner and promoter Terry Eames said. "Admittedly the process was a longer road than we intended to take, however we're here and we're committed to an exciting season with NASCAR."
The renewal process was muddied in part by a change in management at the track and by the fact that former track promoter Jerry Robinson failed to pay competitors for the season ending event in 2008. Robinson's who operated the track the last two seasons, saw his lease run out after last season.
The Speedbowl opens its season with the running of the Budweiser Modified Nationals next weekend.
The weekend slate at the track kicks off on Friday March 27th, with practice for all divisions beginning at 11 a.m. and running through 6 p.m. Saturday's card will see qualifying for all divisions and features for six divisions. Sunday's race card includes features for four divisions, highlighted by a 150-lap SK Modified feature.

How can i read an old floppy disk under Linux that has some problematic sectors?
In times of
DOS people used magic tools like
Norton Disk Doctor and others.
Some of these tools read the broken part many times until they had success. Others used more intelligence. As far I remember some of these tools could repair nearly every broken file after some time.
I tried
dd if=/dev/fd0 of=001.img but it stops with an error message
dd_rescue continues the job, but the image is not readable afterwards.
How can I recover the files from a very old floppy with Linux tools?

Robert Olmstead's Far Bright Star' is a spellbinding story of war and its price
Far Bright Star
By Robert Olmstead.
Algonquin, 207 pp., $22.95.
Put a gun to my temple and force me to name the best writer in the Midwest and my answer -- under duress -- would be Robert Olmstead.
The violent hypothetical is no whim. This author, a professor at Ohio Wesleyan University, plumbs our bloody natures -- memorably and mythically in his incantatory Civil War novel from 2007, "Coal Black Horse," and again in his latest book, "Far Bright Star."
Terrifying and abruptly beautiful, the new novel gleams with a masculine intensity; it is hard to read and hard to put down as it follows a man named Napoleon Childs. He and his brother Xenophon are aging cavalrymen, part of a unit dispatched to Mexico in 1916 to capture Poncho Villa. They never see him.
Napoleon leads a small band of inexperienced men into the wilderness, where an indistinct enemy runs them down, corners them and commences a slaughter. Napoleon is beaten, stripped and stranded in the merciless desert heat to die or perhaps be rescued -- near his body, his adversaries leave his hat and his pistol with a single bullet, its option clear.
"It was their joke, their invitation to him. It was the chance they afforded him and his slimmest hope." Six pages later, the "beginning of the next day brought the red-necked vultures."
Napoleon, in and out of consciousness, struggles toward shade knowing Xenophon will be intent on finding him. "We only have one death to break through to enter the eternity of all time, he thought. Just one death and then we are free forever. I must live, he thought. I still think I can and I still think there is a reason to."
Even as my own chest constricted over this character's suffering, it dawned on me that Napoleon and Xenophon, named for the ancient Greek horseman, are the infant twins born at the end of "Coal Black Horse."...

Former North Augusta City Councilmember Ellen Smith, 95, dies
North Augusta said goodbye to one of its best-known community members Monday afternoon, with the passing of Ellen Smith, 95.
She received a degree from Kansas State in 1940, joined Fairview Presbyterian Church in April of 1952 and became the first woman elected to North Augusta City Council in May 1971. She served until May 1989, with a break in service from 1983 to 1985.
During her time as a Council member, Smith served with mayors Raymond Walters, Hank McKenney, Kim Ledford and Tom Greene. Smith also served with City administrators Carey Smith and Charles Martin.
Smith was also instrumental in the development of Riverview Park and Riverview Park Activities Center, and, because of her achievements and contributions to parks and recreation, she earned a place in the North Augusta Sports Hall of Fame.
Bob Brooks, retired director of Parks, Recreation and Leisure Services, said that Smith was the "most recreational supporter on the council at that time ... very instrumental in the beautification of North Augusta" and the "most enjoyable person to be around."
Longtime friend Lyn Fleming called her "a fun-loving person who gave to her church and her community."
She also noted that Smith "reached out to people all over the world," including participating in the Christmas International program. The program let "college students who couldn't go back to their country" during the holidays stay at her home, Fleming said.
One of Smith's most memorable moments, according to her family and friends, was when she jumped out of an airplane for a tandem sky-dive when she was 85 and how she went down the Colorado River with a broken arm, at age 80.
In the words of City Councilman Arthur Shealy, "North Augusta has lost a true gem."

INDIANAPOLIS -- As much as people like to drool over E.J. Manuel's mobility and right arm and make favorable comparisons to Colin Kaepernick, Russell Wilson or Robert Griffin III, Manuel would rather avoid any parallels.
"I don't have to be Colin Kaepernick or Russell Wilson," the former Florida State quarterback said at the NFL Scouting Combine. "I can be E.J. Manuel. But I do see a lot of my abilities in those guys."
He also sees great potential for his career after seeing how NFL teams borrowed more concepts from the college ranks.
"When I saw those guys having success throughout the year, it gave me confidence going into the draft knowing that kind of quarterback -- as far as a guy who can run and throw -- and not necessarily run first, but also throw the ball and have that run threat," Manuel said.
"It's more accepted now, whereas five or 10 years ago, it wasn't really accepted and you definitely didn't want to act like you could run. You just wanted to sit in the pocket the whole time. Now it's more embraced as a quarterback."
Manuel, just the second player in NCAA history to win four consecutive bowl games, won 25 of his 31 starts at Florida State and left as the most accurate passer in school history, but his draft stock is the most fluid of all the quarterbacks entering the all-important Sunday passing workouts at the Combine.
Very few draft analysts have him rated among the top five or six quarterbacks, but several personnel people feel that Manuel has the most to gain -- or lose -- from his workouts on Sunday, even climbing up the charts and breaking into first-round discussion as teams do more homework on him.
Manuel, who has ideal size at 6-foot-4 and 237 pounds, dubbed himself "the best quarterback in this class" and felt confident that NFL personnel people would share the same opinion.
"No disrespect to anybody else. That's just the way I feel," he said. "All the guys probably feel the same way. But I definitely feel I can be the best QB coming out of this week."
Manuel is also optimistic about his potential fit in whatever offense Eagles coach Chip Kelly plans to draw up. Kelly has said that his playbook has yet to be scripted but will cater to his personnel.
Kelly, who five years ago tried to recruit Manuel to Oregon, said Thursday that he had always hoped to have the chance to coach Manuel. If there hadn't been about 3,000 miles in between Manuel's Virginia home and Eugene, Ore., Kelly might have had that chance.
"Coach Kelly is a great coach first off, and a great person off the field. I really respected him for that," said Manuel, who had met with Kelly in January during the Senior Bowl. "One of the big deterrents for Oregon was that it's the other side of the country. If I had been from California, I may have looked at those guys a little harder, but I love the kind of offense he had out at Oregon. I definitely watched their games and saw the success he had."
Whatever Kelly decides to do at quarterback -- be it conventional dropback passer or explosive runner -- Manuel can envision himself leading the Eagles into the future.
"I can definitely sit in the pocket and throw the ball," he said. "At the same time, I can also be a run threat, throwing the ball on the perimeter."
Manuel threw for more than 3,000 yards this past season and rushed for more than 300 yards, totaling 27 touchdowns and leaving with Florida State's career accuracy record. His accuracy and decision-making has been knocked at times, especially in the face of pressure, but Manuel believes that he silenced some of his skeptics last month in Mobile, Ala., by winning Senior Bowl MVP.
"I think I proved I can be consistent in my reads. I'm also consistent with my accuracy," he said. "I think I was accurate all week, not just in the game. I was happy I got the MVP. At the same time, I thought I had a great week overall, starting on Monday all the way up through Friday as far as the practices because I know that was a really important part of it.
"All the scouts were watching us during the day. I thought strategically that I knocked out each and every day, and I was happy with my performance."
'Best QB' Manuel embraces chance to play for Eagles
INDIANAPOLIS -- As much as people like to drool over E.J. Manuel's mobility and right arm and make favorable comparisons to Colin Kaepernick, Russell Wilson or Robert Griffin III, Manuel would rather avoid any parallels.

Lady Jays lose to Blue Springs South
At the State Farm Holiday Hoops Invitational
Sunday, December 29, 2013
The pregame plan was to scrap hard for the first three quarters, then try to win the game in the fourth.
But the Jefferson City Lady Jays were too far behind when it came to the final eight minutes.
"When we made our run, we were a little too far down to make it too interesting," Jefferson City coach Shane Meyer said Saturday night after the Lady Jays fell 44-31 to the Blue Springs South Lady Jaguars in the semifinals of the State Farm Holiday Hoops Invitational at Rackers Fieldhouse.
The game was knotted at 6 before the Lady Jaguars closed the opening quarter with a 9-4 run to take a five-point lead. Blue Springs South then outscored Jefferson City 16-2 in the second quarter to take a 31-12 advantage into halftime.
"The quarter got away from us and we were too far back to get into it again," Meyer said.
The Lady Jaguars hit six 3-pointers in the first half, three in each quarter.
"To their credit, they knocked some shots down," Meyer said. "Plus, when I think we look at the tape, I think we're going to see a few things that we had talked about doing that we didn't or didn't react quick enough.
"But there's no doubt when they got open looks, they were knocking them down and that allowed them to extend to play with the lead."
The Lady Jays started to put things together offensively in the third quarter, hitting nearly 50 percent of their shots as they trailed 39-19 heading into the final period.
Jefferson City put things together on both ends of the floor in the fourth quarter, outscoring Blue Springs South 12-5. The Lady Jays got to within 10 at 41-31 with 3:47 left, but couldn't score again.
Meyer was proud his team only allowed 13 points in the final two quarters.
"We played with a little more with an edge, we were taking some things on a little better," Meyer said. "Also, they weren't making as many shots and that helped us.
"But we were definitely defending better."
Raven Davenport finished with a game-high 16 points for the Lady Jaguars (6-2), including four 3-pointers. Cloe Lane added 11 points while pulling down eight rebounds.
Megan Foster had 15 points to lead the Lady Jays (4-5), all in the second half. Kezia Martin added 11 for Jefferson City, which was hurt by a 2-of-10 performance at the free-throw line.
Jefferson City will face St. Joseph Benton in the third-place game at 4:30 p.m. today at Rackers Fieldhouse.
"We have our work cut out for us again (today)," Meyer said. "Their kids play hard, they get after you on the defensive end, but that's what you get in this tournament."
Blue Springs South will square off with Hickman for the tournament title at 6 p.m. It is a rematch of the title game in the Blue Springs/Blue Springs South Tournament in mid-December, won by Hickman 74-61.

A retaining wall is a strong structure built to stabilize slopes or to provide terraces, areas of different elevations for a multitude of purposes. Retaining walls are especially designed and built to resist gravity, lateral soil and water pressure. San Diego residential concrete contractors are trained and adequately experienced to calculate the tendency of the wall to move forward due to gravity. Retaining walls can be wonderfully used in landscaping; with their use you can enclose a decorative garden that is easy to maintain and add zest to the appearance of your property.
Some retaining walls can be easily constructed in a DIY project, while others require a higher degree of professional training. If you are short on ideas and are not up to date with the latest trends and developments, trust skilled concrete contractors with the job.
Steps in building a retaining wall are the following:
If your wall is only plagued with some minor cracks and it does not crumble yet, repair works are easy to perform. Loose particles have to be completely removed. Cracks are then filled in with an epoxy or different filler. Retain wall surfaces are then smoothed out. Major damages to retaining walls ask for the expertise and skills of local residential contractors.
What materials need to be used for the construction of a custom retaining wall is largely dependant on the scope, placement and size of the wall. A complete material package includes:
The segmental structure of a retaining wall gives it permeability in order to avoid growing hydro pressure. This is how the wall can resist overturn.
No matter the purpose, the type of the retaining wall and materials used, pricing includes labor for three important works:
Other factors to influence costs are material prices, hiring professionals for specialty walls, or transportation costs.
In the era of decorative concrete, retaining walls are no longer exclusively built for functional purposes. A retaining wall is a perfect way to add color and interest to a landscape. Pre-cast concrete blocks come in an amazing variety of textures and shapes. To get ideas and suggestions for your landscaping project, ask for the help of well prepared professionals.
San Diego residential contractors are well versed with all concrete-related works. For a retaining wall, be that a functional or a purely decorative one, contact us! Call today and get our free estimate!
Surprisingly enough, tree roots are among the leading causes of damage to concrete products. The problem is two sided, and trees are also damaged by having their roots exposed and restricted by concrete slabs. Learn about ways to protect both co... read more

Interesting mysteryAcidRulez | Oct. 15, 2013 | Review of The Wolf Among Us - PC
I was not sure what to expect from this game, but after my first playthrough of the first episode I am hooked. The Wolf Among Us is a who-dun-it thriller in a fantasy world. It mixes different genres and the outcome is exiting and interesting. Your care about the protagonist from the first chapter and it is up to you to decide what kind of character he should be, due to Telltales way of making these games. I am looking forward to the next chapter.

Photos that capture the inner workings of a rat brain, an oyster toadfish and crystalline "flowers" of cobalt pyrite were among the winners of the University of Wisconsin-Madison's Cool Science Image contest, announced today.
Above, Borago officinales, also known as borage and starflower, can be grown as an annual herb. Gardeners will often grow Borage because its bright flowers attract bees, who can help with pollinating the rest of the garden.
This image -- captured with a scanning electron microscope-- shows cobalt pyrite, a metallically conducting material. False color was added to highlight the natural beauty of these flower-like structures.
The sound-producing muscles of the oyster toadfish, Opsanus tau, are the fastest known twitching vertebrate muscles at 200 times per second and are used by males to produce a foghorn-like sound to attract females.
The picture depicts a flower of Miconia friedmaniorum, a shrubby member of the family Melastomataceae and known only from cloud forests of Costa Rica.
This series of pictures illustrates the process for making restorative prosthetic devices. The first step is to create a mold replica of the unaffected right hand. A symmetric hand for the affected side is created. Then 3-D printing helps create a physical model of the prosthetic left hand. Finally, a highly skilled anaplastologist creates a mold and gives the prosthetic left hand realistic features by sculpting texture and matching skin color.
This image shows a piece of rat brain cortex cultured in a petri dish.
Moss capsules are where spore production takes place. The teeth-like structures in the center (the peristome) control the release of the spores.
This is an electron micrograph of the element molybdenum. The image resembles a satellite view of Antarctic icebergs. Initially black and white, the image is false-colored.
This image shows cellulose nano-fibers marked with a fluorescent stain. When dried, the fibers produce fascinating geometric, crystallized patterns. This image resembles a surreal, microscopic city skyline.

Cambridge Students Prep Bethany 2.0 (The Endeavour) Vehicle For World Solar Challenge
Posted By Timon Singh On June 8, 2011 @ 3:57 pm In Environment,Green Transportation,Innovation,Solar Power | No Comments
In 2009, Cambridge University students [1] had high hopes when they designed The Bethany [2], a solar powered vehicle, to compete in the World Solar Challenge [3] across the Australian outback. Unfortunately, the team came 14th in the epic 1,800-mile race due to being sidelined by a bad battery. But they aren't giving up – they're prepping the Endeavour, version 2.0 of the Bethany solar car, for the race in October and it looks like it could be a winner!
The original vehicle was covered with 6 m2 of solar cells and only weighed 170 kg. It was equipped with a battery management control system, an energy generating braking system and an energy-efficient hub motor. But Alisdair McClymont and his team are making modifications to the old model. "We had quite a good car, but it wasn't reliable enough. We've made a lot of modifications to ensure it is reliable. Our goal is to finish as highly as possible."
They started by replacing the 5-kilowatt-hour lithium-polymer battery pack with a 4-kilowatt-hour lithium–iron phosphate unit which is heavier, but cheaper and more robust.
"The battery won't be a problem this year," McClymont said confidently.
The team will face tough competition however. They will be up against the defending champions from Tokai University in Japan and the Nuon Solar Team of Delft University, the Dutch team that won [4] the four previous races. Good luck guys – do Blighty proud!

HOUSTON, Sept. 19, 2008 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Franklin Bank Corp. (Nasdaq:FBTX) (AMEX:FBK-P.LF) ("Franklin") on September 17, 2008 was notified by the staff of The NASDAQ Stock Market (the "Nasdaq") that the Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the "Panel") has granted Franklin's request for continued listing of Franklin's common stock provided that on or before September 30, 2008 Franklin files with the Securities and Exchange Commission Franklin's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007 (the "Form 10-K") and its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the periods ended March 31, 2008 (the "March Form 10-Q") and June 30, 2008 (the "June Form 10-Q"). Pursuant to Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 4802(b), the Panel does not have discretion to extend the filing deadline for the Form 10-K beyond September 30, 2008. However, the Panel has recommended that the Nasdaq Listing and Hearing Review Council (the "Listing Council") call Franklin's case for review and allow the additional time needed for Franklin to file the Form 10-K, March Form 10-Q and June Form 10-Q. No assurances may be given that the Listing Council will grant Franklin's request for additional time.
As previously disclosed, Franklin anticipates filing the Form 10-K no later than November 28, 2008. The March Form 10-Q and June Form 10-Q can only be filed after the Form 10-K is filed. The timing of filing the Form 10-K remains uncertain, and no assurance may be given that the November 28, 2008 target date will be achieved.
If Franklin's request for additional time to make these filings is not granted by the Listing Council, Franklin's common stock would be subject to suspension of trading and delisting. Franklin intends to appeal any determination to delist its common stock and to request a stay of the suspension of trading and delisting of its common stock during the pendency of the appeal. The Nasdaq is not required to stay suspension or delisting during the appeal period, and no assurance may be given that any such request by Franklin will be granted.

In May 2006, Franklin raised additional capital through an offering of its Preferred Stock that is now trading on The American Stock Exchange (the "AMEX") under the ticker symbol FBK-P.LF.

There's another roadblock to efforts to create the nation's largest electric utility. Two Eastern Carolina cities are protesting the proposed merger of Duke Energy and Progress Energy.
The cities of New Bern and Rocky Mount have submitted another protest to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission last Friday. The protest challenges Duke and Progress' third attempt to get the FERC to approve the merger on the ground it would not harm competition.
Progress sells power to the NC Eastern Municipal Power Agency, which is made up of publicly owned municipal power systems.
The FERC has twice rejected the $26 billion Duke-Progress merger saying that it would endanger competition in Eastern Carolina.

The Humble Brag: Link Party #7
Welcome back for our 7th link Party! Its been a wonderful week here in Baltimore for our family! We've been busy getting ready for Thanksgiving, and even doing a few Christmas projects. Did you see my plastic spoon Christmas tree? Yesterday, I also continued work on my kitchen redesign by making a new pallet sign to go above our spice rack.
Even more fun news – tonight I'm having some other bloggers over who also live in the Baltimore area – Liz from Naptime Decorator and Megan from Our Pinteresting Family! On top of that, in the last few weeks, I have felt more a part of the blogging community, a large part because of you guys. Thank you so much for your kind words, your support, and just following along.
Want Free Advertising?
For a limited time, we are offering FREE advertising for one lucky blogger per week who links up at the party. I will RANDOMLY select one link. We will advertise your blog in our sidebar, and trust me, that's pretty cool since our main OPC site gets thousands of hits per day and The Better Half gets thousands per month! So tell your blogger friends and come link up. (Don't forget, you have to link back or grab a button to win)
Some Brag-worthy Projects
All of our linked up projects were brag-worthy, for sure, but here are a few that spoke to me!
If you're a new follower, you may not know that we are only one half of our blog. The other half of One Project Closer is devoted to hard-core home improvement. My hubby Ethan has been rebuilding our shed from scratch and documenting it on the blog. Maybe its because I have sheds on the brain, but I love this shed redesign from The Remodeled Life, complete with a cute wreath. Do you think Ethan will let me paint our new shed? Not likely!
I love this footboard turned French Sign from Plum Doodles. Way to rock the power tools, Sheila!
Have you caught on to the pumpkin obsession? I have! I am dying to try these no-bake Pumpkin Spice Cookies from Shaken Together!
This next brag has been on my DIY list for some time, but Christine from Decorum DIYer reminded me how much I love the oversized ruler for a growth chart – a Pottery Barn knock-off!
Last night, as I was chatting with my hair dresser while getting my hair done, I made the comment that I excited to try a really good pecan pie recipe because I've never tried pecan pie. And you don't want to try a bad recipe when its your first time or you will be tainted against it forever. I am totally gonna make this Pecan Pie from For What Its Worth, although I will probably buy my crust!
Did you follow our summer Before and After series supporting Habitat for Humanity? Well, Dixie Delights was our grand prize winner, a pretty big honor! Here's another amazing project – her boy boy room before and after! She seriously has amazing style and taste.
Our #1 Brag!
This week, our ad winner was chosen at random using random.org. Out of 57 entries, number 3 was chosen – Linda from With a Blast! Linda has been coming back every week to link up some great projects, and this beach inspired bookshelf from reclaimed wood is too cute! Thanks for linking up, Linda!
Bragging Rules
The Humble Brag is all about encouraging one another in our pursuits (and sometimes even fails). We're excited to see what you have been up to in your crafting/DIY world. We also welcome recipes and other projects. I will be visiting each and every link over the coming day or two, so bring it on!
We ask that you:
- Please grab a button or link back to this post
- Link directly to your article
- Don't link to a shop, store or giveaway
Make sure to check back next week to see if your project has been featured and thanks for sharing.
Grab a Button
Remember, please post a button or text link back to our party somewhere in your original post. We hope you also take the time to click on one or two other party-goers projects and give some encouragement.

1899 Fred Astaire is born today in Omaha, Nebraska. Along with his sister Adele Astaire, who was two years older, they became a popular vaudeville act and would later be featured in such shows as Lady, Be Good, and Funny Face. After Adele retired, Fred appeared opposite Claire Luce in Gay Divorce in 1932. This would be his last Broadway appearance. Fred moved on to Hollywood.
1961 A group of unknowns — Dudley Moore, Peter Cook, Jonathan Miller and Alan Bennett — bring their comic revue Beyond the Fringe to London's Fortune Theatre. It will run for 1,184 performances. Even though the show mocks the Prime Minister, the normally censorious Lord Chamberlain attends this evening as part of the Queen's party.
1962 Peter Shaffer's double-bill The Private Ear/The Public Eye will play at London's Globe Theatre for 549 performances. Maggie Smith stars in both plays.
1964 Dancer-choreographer Carol Haney died today in New York. She is best remembered for the "Steam Heat" number from The Pajama Game. She was 40 years old.
1994 Carol Hall follows up The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas with The Best Little Whorehouse Goes Public tonight on Broadway at the Lunt Fontanne Theatre. The original lasted 1,584 performances, but its sequel, about a Nevada brothel that tries to sell shares on Wall Street, doesn't fare as well, lasting only 16 performances and closing 11 days following its opening. 2006 After a lengthy preview period that began March 24, Disney's fourth Broadway offering, Tarzan — following Beauty and the Beast, The Lion King and Aida — opens at the Richard Rodgers Theatre. Featuring direction and scenic design by Bob Crowley and a score by Phil Collins, the musical stars Josh Strickland in the title role opposite Jenn Gambatese as Jane.
More of Today's Birthdays: Max Steiner 1888. Dimitri Tiomkin 1899. Nancy Walker 1922. Arthur Kopit 1937. Suzan-Lori Parks 1963. Josh Young 1980.

RE: Sharpen Your Political Vocab…
A question. In handicapping Obama's chances in South Carolina, it's often pointed out that nearly half of the state's population is African American, and that he therefore stands a good chance of winning there.
Is this not a racist assumption?
