( Willie Mae Howell-Owens is listed at Row 6 / Block XXX on this signature quilt, along side the name of her daughter Opaline Owens.) Her personal legacy appears in the History of Freestone county, volume II, story # 636, page 399.
"....her incredible talents with fabric, needle and sewing machine were recognized, and her own love for employing those talents for both herself and others laid (a) foundation for her reputation as a seamstress of real artistry."
However , throughout her adult life her career for more than 40 years with N.W. Bendy Company embraced her equal talent in salesmanship for which she was honored by Teague townsmen and especially local merchants as "Saleslady of the Year".Her bubbling countenance behind the Bendy store counters gradually , no doubt, contributed to everybody within borders of Teague trade territory calling her "Miss Willie"..."
Willie Mae Howell-Owens is a Sims family descendant. She is the Great granddaughter of Sterling Sims, the granddaughter of George Anderson and Charity Jane Manning-Sims ( a quilt maker) and the daughter of William Augustus and Sallie Fitzhugh Sims-Howell .( Quilt Row 2 / Block VII.)
Willie came from a long lineage of quilt makers, painters and crafts men and women. She was well respected in the community ( of Teague, Texas) and known for her sewing skills.

Sims Family Seamstresses / Quilt makers / Artists
and Crafts persons and their relationship to "Miss Willie"
Corin (Johnson) Sims, grand daughter -in -law to Malinda Rutherford and Thomas Whaley Sims. She died in 1900 while giving birth to her second child. Corin was a schoolteacher, painter, artist, quilt maker. She became the mother to Ezra Lucille Sim- Neyland. She is a second cousin to "Miss Willie"....via marriage ties.
"Corin was a schoolteacher and also on the Examining Board in Austin for other teachers.She painted very large oil paintings---48"x 36" They were "Christmas Morn", "Easter Dawn", "Pharaoh's Horses. She also painted a three section screen. She pieced quilts and embroidered where the pieces were joined. All of these paintings and quilts were made during the early part of 1890s."
Ezra Lucille Sims - Neyland was great grand daughter of Sterling Sims and grand daughter of George Anderson Sims. Lucille was born January, 16, 1897 and died June, 27, 1 987....
Her legacy is found at History of Freestone County, volume II,story # 613, page 389. Neyland, Lucille Sims by Linda Neyland- Epperson. She is listed on this signature quilt at Quilt Row 4 / Block XIX.
"Her parents were Frank Fitzpatrick Sims and Corin Johnson-Sims. Since Corin's mother died when she was 3 years old, she was raised by her grandmother, Malinda Rutherford-Sims.....
Her step mother was Madge Keating-Sims of St. Louis, Mo.
She married Thomas Herbert Neyland, Sr. ( b. 9-22-1890 - d.9-13-1961) on December 3, 1916.
Lucille loved to dance, paint and play golf. ...She took oil painting lessons from Maggie Withrow.
Lucille did all alterations for T.H. Neyland and Co. Dry Goods Store."
Charity Jane Manning-Sims is the daughter -in - law of Sterling Sims...and grand mother to "Miss Willie." Charity Jane was an exceptional quilt maker according to Sims family legacy.
"George Anderson Sims was well-to-do farmer in the Simsboro community. He served in the War between the States. His wife was Charity Jane Manning. ("...Charity Jane Manning -Sims was born 1-5-1839 / d. 6-20-1880.) She was a quilt maker as noted by her grandson John Sims Newell.....
"....The Newell family has in safe keeping the quilt , the wedding gift to Mary Catherine Sims from her mother Charity Jane Manning-Sims. The marriage date 11-26-1873 indicates the quilt is more than 100 years ( at least 115) old. The quilt is "Tree if Life" pattern , constructed of red and green calico on white. The stitches are unbelievably small and beautiful."
Malinda Rutherford- Sims married Thomas (Tom) Whaley Sims. She is daughter - in- law to Sterling Sims and Sarah Fitzpatrick Heard - Sims.
History of Freestone County, Texas. volume II, story #782,page 464. She is located at QR3 Block XII. She is the aunt of "Miss Willie".
Prior to her marriage Malinda attended the Fairfield Female College. This college was established in 1857. The fame of the college spread and young ladies from all over Texas and the southern states attended...."( Some of the subjects taught to female students at this college were :
Ancient languages ( Latin and Greek)
Moral and Intellectual philosophy
English literature
Ornamental Department / Graded preparatory department
*Fancy Work
(20 week course that cost $15 per session)
Piano / music....$25 per 20 week course / Use of instrument $5.00
Painting in Water colors, Grecian ornamental and oil painting...$20 / 20 week course.
LeNere (Sims) Alderman is the grand daughter Thomas Whaley and Malinda Rutherford - Sims. She is located at QR3 / Block XII and her personal family story is told in History of Freestone County volume II, story #001 ( as a wife) and Volume II Story # 784, page 464,Sims, Mr. and Mrs. W.H., by LeNere Sims - Alderman (as a daughter). She was born 12 / 22 /1900. She is "Miss Willie's second cousin.
"LeNere was born December 22, 1900, the eldest daughter of William Hugh and Vida Moss Colgin- Sims.She was a rather shy young girl who bloomed after her marriage and became an excellent homemaker, seamstress, and cook although Dave often teased that he had to teach her to make cornbread and her first housekeeper had to teach her to sew. She was a wonderful mother to her daughters---allowing terrible messes in the kitchen and around the sewing machine while they were in the throes of learning. A birthday invitation usually prompted a quick trip to the Cotton Gin store for fabric to make new party dresses."
Note: Knowing Willie's background and knowledge of sewing skills, the position of her name on this signature quilt leads me to wonder if she may perhaps be the person who stitched the top together and embroidered the names...maybe even quilting the complete Textile, also. Her female family members were very skilled in the arts...from painting to quilt making...and would surely understand that a good artist signs his/her work when it is finished. Willie's signature is placed in the lower right hand corner area of block XXX, approximately where an artist would place a signature on most any work of art. It causes one to ponder "Why this area for her name...since she was a noted seamstress of the town and area?"
Mrs. J.C. Chumney, ( Linda Sims-Chumney? b. 1879 -d. 1968) of Teague ,Texas....married Dr.John C. Chumney (b. 1878 - d.1937).....delivered her niece,
History of Freestone County, volume II, story #636, page 399. Owens, Mrs. Horace W. (formerly Willie Mae Howell) by Weldon Owens
" Willie Mae Howell / Owens (who) was one of the few children born in the Brewer community before it became the town of Teague. Midwifery was performed by Mrs. J.C. Chumney at three o'clock in the morning in the residence of the child's parents, William Augustus Howell and wife, Sallie Fitzhugh Sims / Howell,(b. July 27, 1890 - d.Unknown)..."

Mrs. W. H. Howell (Sallie Fitzhugh Sims) ,of Teague,Texas
...married William Augustus Howell. She was the daughter of George Anderson Sims and Charity Jane Manning-Sims.(Charity Jane was a quilt maker.)
Sallie's grandparents were Sterling Sims and Sarah Fitzpatrick Heard-Sims.(Sallie Fitzhugh Sims -Howell's name is also located on Row 2 / Block VII of this signature quilt.)
They had one daughter named Willie Mae (Willie) Howell (b.7-27-1899 / d. 5-24- 1977). "Willie" or "Miss Willie", as she was called, married Horace W. Owens ( b. 1885- d. 1945), the Chief of Police, Teague,Texas. They wed on August 17, 1907.
Horace and Willie Owens had (3) children:
Weldon Owens....Worked 23 years as a daily columnist and broadcaster for the Dallas Times Herald and Radio KRLD. Then he retired.
Opal Owens-Tucker....was employed for the Cox Department Store chain for many years in Fort Worth, TX, before retiring.
Wroe Owens...graduated from the University of Texas where he received his law degree and established law offices. However, during the J. Edgar Hoover regime, he joined the Federal Bureau of Investigation and as Special agent and was prestigious cited for World War II prisoners security. After the war, he returned to reopen his law offices in Austin where he has long been active in various Masonic civic and chamber of commerce activities. After assigning most responsibilities of this law firm to his son-in-law , he has been retained as consultant and resides in Austin with his wife Dorothy.
Taking all the foregoing information into consideration .....my personal theory is that this lady probably had a a heavy hand in bringing together the physical composition of this remarkable textile. I may be wrong...but the position of her name on the quilt , lower right hand corner...last block ...seems to me to indicate that she may have been signing the artwork. Further research is needed of course, to substantiate whether or not my gut feelings are correct.... So for now this posting remains just a very strong theory. Adjustments will be made when and if necessary in the future. For now.....

Post subject: Bachelor Pad 2...
Okay, I really don't want to admit this, but I've watched the last hour (it's two hours long) of the two episodes of Bachelor Pad on Monday nights. I'm locked into another program from 8-9pm and then I normally surf the channels for about an hour. I caught Bachelor Pad last week and stuck with it. It's superficial, silly and everything I don't want to watch--but I did anyway.
Anyone catch last night's episode of the farewell rose ceremony? What an exit for Jackie and then Ames. Hey, this is a romantic books site--and this exit does not get any more romantic than that (not graphically, of course). I loved it. I understand they're still together. Ahhh...

This has to be my guiltiest of all guilty pleasures. I swore I was not going to watch, then got sucked in. I loathe the Kasey/Vienna/Jake trio with a white hot passion. Yuck!! On ALL counts. Kasey, who once seemed like a nice fellow, if misguided, now seems like a total loser. And how does Vienna keep sucking guys into her teary, manipulative coils? Their kissy-faced gloating last night was up-chuckable.
But Ames... what a sweetie! And what a great exit, though my sister said, 'had to be staged... why else was the car stopped?' I'm pulling for those two crazy kids... LOL!

Could not agree with you more regarding the trio you mentioned, with Vienna being the worst of them and Jake the least, but not many points separating any of them. Vienna is such a drama queen along with Millicent (I think that's her name--she has long blonde hair).
If the exit was staged (and probably was to an extent), it was great. I loved how Ames came walking back to the group with the silliest grin on his face, lifted both hands up slightly as if to say "What can I do?" and then trotted back to the limo (with red pants, no less--oh, no). But it was great. They made it look quite spontaneous even if it wasn't.
Yes, reality is anything but real. And that's what makes it so sad, because the people playing the roles believe it's working for them and for the majority viewing it. And we wonder why our kids are so bewildered when they finally encounter the "real" world.

What I deeply dislike about the Bachelor/Bachelorette/Bachelor Pad franchise is their insistence that the only 'good' outcome is a lockstep two-by-two finale. It's like they can't admit that out of a chosen 25 guys or girls you just may not find your 'soulmate'. Argh!!
Brad Womack was so harshly castigated for his 'betrayal' in his first season, when at the end he said, basically, so sorry, but not one of these 25 women is the love of my life. Outrage!! Condemnation!! How dare he!!!
So he came back, 'chose' someone, and look how that ended. I thought he had balls the first time for saying 'no, I'm not in love', but he was apparently castrated enough to come back for a second time to rectify things, 'chose' Emily Maynard, (who everyone seems to love, but I don't really like very much) and it ended badly.
Of course, I don't like Brad either, I guess. And yet I watch. Every season is 'The Most Dramatic Season Evah'!! LOL. It's candy cotton for the mind, at its best, and mindless dreck at its worst.

Love your last sentence--mindless dreck, indeed.
I too thought Brad should be applauded for having said no to both finalists the first time around. What's wrong with knowing neither of those two were the "one." The second time he was in a Bachelor series, when his family asked something like "has she awakened the sleeping bear?", I figured out what they meant and thought it was over right then and there for whoever was left. It was so obvious all throughout the season that he kept a tight leash on his control. Watching his facial expressions and his comments just made me shudder at times.
I will probably be watching Bachelor Pad again this Monday. Talk about self-control--I think I have none sometimes.

UN~BE~LIEVABLE! AAA Sports is coming off ANOTHER winning day, now 7-1 (88%) all plays L3 days and a STAGGERING +$12,056 w/ ALL picks L9 days! MLB continues to be a Summer Time CASH COW! After ANOTHER winner on the ChiSox on on Thursday afternoon, AAA enters the final weekday on a MONUMENTAL 102-74 +$14,537 Y-T-D run! YOU IN ON THIS?!
1* Free Play OVER Pirates/A's.
The visitors hand the ball to Jeff Locke (7-5, 5.12 ERA) who comes in off a decent outing vs. the Dodgers on Saturday, giving up one run off five hits while stirking out four over seven innings to earn the win. We'll caution reading too much into the performance though, as Locke is a poor 2-4 with a ballooned 7.36 ERA on the road this year. The home side counters with Sonny Gray, who gave up two runs off six hits with a walk while stirking out three over six innings in a no-decision vs. the Angels on Sunday. Home field has been anything but an advantage for Gray this year, he's 2-3 with a poor 4.75 ERA in Oakland thus far. With these two inconsistent starters going head-to-head on Friday night, the OVER does indeed become worthy of a second look in this particular matchup.

Water Quality Pathways Certificate
All public water and wastewater systems in Oregon are operated and maintained under the supervision of certified operators. The UCC Water Quality Pathways Certificate program was developed for people interested in a career in water and/or wastewater operations.
The certification program includes a series of four courses in water quality, including introductory courses in water treatment, water distribution, wastewater treatment, and wastewater collection. In addition, sites are available for in-plant experience through the UCC cooperative work experience program. The course content for the UCC water quality courses are based on the Ken Kerri courses developed through Sacramento State University.
The Water Quality Certificate provides training for the Level I certification exams, is an opportunity for continuing education training and career advancement for employees already working in the field, and provides a career and educational pathway for people desiring an entry level position in water quality operations.
The required courses for the pathways certificate are included in the two-year AAS program for Civil Engineering and Surveying Technology. Students completing the water quality pathways certificate may continue with the two-year AAS, if desired.
Prerequisites and Course Availability by Term
View / Download a Prerequisites and Course Availability Guide.
All public water and wastewater systems must be piped and treated to federal and state standards under the supervision of certified operators. Water quality operators are employed in virtually every community in Oregon and throughout the nation. The number of operators is stable; funding is typically through monthly user rates (stable funding) and trained operators are required to protect public health and the environment. The majority of job openings projected in the near future are replacement positions, to replace operators that will either retire, be promoted, or move to other locations.
The median salary for Water and Liquid Waste Treatment Plan Operators is listed as $39,800 according to the Oregon Employment Department.
There are also multiple career pathways for people with water quality backgrounds. Examples of some related careers are available on the Oregon Labor Market Information web site.

Wishing Tessa and Scott best of luck in their FD. Hopefully they can make up for the (totally absurd and unfair) 1.93 points they lost in the SD.
Wishing Tessa and Scott best of luck in their FD. Hopefully they can make up for the (totally absurd and unfair) 1.93 points they lost in the SD.
One of those points was due to Scott having a visible problem with the twizzles, which dropped them to level 3, and because it was visible real time, probably hurt their GOE too for that element.
Just perused the GPF FD board - interesting cheap shots at V/M - Tessa's weight, Scott not being to able to left Tessa etc. Okay - so I decided to post here instead of there. They had 2 solid performances at the GPF. Perfect? No. Heading in the right direction - definitely. As long as they are happy with their progress - that makes me a happy camper. Did they want to win? Obviously. Kudos to D/W for the win. After last year's Funny Face - I think fans were anxious with what they were going to skate to this year. Carmen is a challenging program and I am glad that they have taken this route. The last choreographic sequence may need some tweeking in order to get levels but otherwise I wouldn't change anything else. Obviously - not everyone is a fan of this program but hey you can't always satisfy everyone.
I also enjoy D/W but the one thing that concerns me with them is that they received 3 tens for choreography in the GPF FD. My question is does receiving 10's discourage this team from trying new elements/lifts/step sequences?
Well, Tessa & Scott didn't become discouraged by 10.00's so no, I don't think any team is necessarily discouraged by 10.00's, particularly when their competition gets them too. IMO their Carmen is the most interesting program they have ever done, with all new and challenging lifts, and a different style of dance for them, and a different emotional character. Where they are least adventurous in trying new things, I think, are in spins & twizzles, and their not touching sequence in the SD.
I don't think Meryl & Charlie are any different from Tessa & Scott; they aren't ones to sit on their laurels.
Of the 6 lifts Meryl & Charlie are doing this year(1 SD, 4, FD with 1 Choreographic extra), only one is from last year (and it was new last year (the no hands rotational lift). The jump entry into the dance spin is new this year (last year they did a back entry), and the internal movements in the spin are different, too. The not touching circular step in the SD is significantly different from last year's, and they are using a different jump entry into the twizzles, doing the twizzling directly on the landing foot without intermediate steps. Skating to a ballet in their SD, and trying to incorporate balletic style in the dance is a much a change of style/challenge for Meryl & Charlie as a modern dance style for Carmen is to Tessa & Scott. Where they are least adventurous are in the two step sequences in the FD, IMO.
^^ Just to clarify because my responses to two separate posts ended up juxtaposed above:
Virtue/Moir train with Maria Mountain twice a week in London. (She is not from Cirque du Soleil, in other words.)
V/M return to Canton with her marching orders for their workouts there without her.
BTW, the Canadian junior pair Margaret Purdy/Michael Marinaro also train with Mountain.

Please remember the fan fest threads are not a place to start fights/attack members/etc. This is supposed to be the "safe haven" where we can all have fun being fangirls/fanboys.
Short 2001 video of a young Tessa & Scott winning Pre Novice at the Junior Canadian Nationals
Too Cute for words
Even at that young age, their potential for beauty was very evident. They were so cute though.........Now they are magnificent
Just adorable!
Scott looks exactly the same (except of course older)--same features, same expression. Tessa was always a swan, but now she's become like a super-swan.
By sheer good luck, my local bookstore (in the U.S., mind you) had their hardcover book, and I splurged on it. It catalogues their career from childhood on, generously photographed. Seeing them at that age makes you realize the kind of commitment it takes to become top skaters. Somehow it's even more striking with a couple, because they have to stay committed to each other as well as to their individual training efforts.
Now all I need is a similar book about Meryl and Charlie.

New Leica Lens, Accessories and Firmware Update Announced
Leica has added a new, wide-angle lens to its S medium-format system lineup. The Leica Elmarit-S 45mm f/2.8 ASPH delivers a 35mm (equivalent) angle of view. The lens, which is available immediately, comes in two versions, with the CS model offering an integrated central shutter for sync speeds up to 1/1000th of a second. The non-CS model's maximum sync speed is 1/125th of a second. The CS version costs $7450, while the non-CS lens is priced at $6350.
A new firmware update is available for the S-system cameras: version 188.8.131.52 for the Leica S and version 188.8.131.52 for the Leica S2/S2-P. In addition to ensuring "optimum functionality" of the new lens when mounted on the S/S2/S2-P cameras, the firmware update provides enhancements to tethered shooting for DNG-compressed file output, the firmware update also enables the flash triggering signal to pass to the sync socket at all speeds. Additionally, users who install the firmware update will be able to store bracketing sequences and self-timer settings in user profiles. It also corrects errors experienced with the Leica Vario-Elmar-S 30-90mm f/3.5-5.6 ASPH lens, including the lens' focusing behavior. The firmware update can be downloaded from the Leica owners' site (login required).
Leica also announced new accessories including a lightweight, carbon tripod and two ball heads. The former weighs 2.64 pounds, is compact enough for travel and the ball head "disappears" inside the tripod when in a collapsed position. A carrying case with strap and shoulder pad can be purchased separately. The two ball heads–the Leica 24 and 38–are compatible with all Leica cameras and, with a set of three quick-change plates, users can move from one camera to another without switching plates. Both models can hold up to, for example, a Leica M with a light lens. The Leica 38 ball head offers extra features including a tilt button, which locks the head so that it can only be moved in a vertical plane. The 38 also features a 360 degree panorama function.
The accessories will be available in November.
Accessory Prices:
Leica Traveller Tripod: $525.00
Tripod Bag: $125
Leica Ball Head 24: $285.00
Leica Ball Head 38: $390.00
Set of 3 exchangeable mounting plates for ball head 24 / 38: $70.00

I love the colors! I am seeing lots of quilts with a variety of blocks, which makes them truly unique. Continue the great work. I do have a Q. How do you get your quilts to look crinkly? Do you not pre-wash your fabrics, just wondering.
I scheduled my WIP post to "post" at midnight. Then all morning I was looking for your WIP post thinking, "Where is it?". Just now found out it's on vacation, I feel stupid. Anyway. Will link up when you get back on Jan 4th.

Lee, it's gorgeous! Could you please tell me, on the red/aqua block that you list as another HST block, how did you do the math to figure out what you needed? Or could you point me to a tutorial? I'm still new to quilting and trying to learn how to think about this sort of thing intuitively, but I'm not there.
- December 15, 2011 at 6:32 AM
- Elle said...
Lee, this is truly amazing! I loved the original, but the additions made it even better! My first really big quilt was a sampler, which I hand-quilted, and it took me years, so I swore them off (even though I adore it). But all summer i was tempted, and after seeing this, I think I'm going to have to go back and start one of these in the spring...and maybe it will be finished by the end of next summer! Your colors are fantastic - I really love the way it turned out!

quilts too small to be useful,
you did great... in design and time....
I like quilts on my bed or couch not on the wall.
- December 29, 2011 at 11:32 AM
- Kelli said...
It looks so great, Lee! I love your additions. I've got seriously like 2 blocks to finish, but I got so busy mine got set to the side. You have completely inspired me to get mine out and finish it. Really, another great one. I know exactly why your Mother-in-law loves it.

Sarah Hardie of the Wairarapa Times-Age has found
that 'PAK'nSAVE is still the cheapest grocery store, and its bill

This information follows a test by the Times-Age of supermarket
shopping prices at local PAK'nSAVE, New World and Countdown
The Times-Age found similar results back in their October review
which also found that not only was the local PAK'nSAVE store the place to shop as it
was cheaper than its alternatives, but prices had even
dropped while competitor prices rose.
This goes to show that PAK'nSAVE is true to its policy of
providing New Zealand's lowest food prices.

Reviews for Plum-Good Pork Chops
"Whole family loves it!"
"Delicious. My husband, one year old and three year old love it. Served it with rice, peas and zucchini."
"My husband isn't a fan of pork chops but he did like these. I also thought they were very good, not your usual tasting pork chop."
"This recipe is very delicious but I will make a couple of changes when I make it again. I will double or maybe even triple the sauce. The sauce is rather skimpy and not enough to go around. It was easy to scorch and I had to keep adding more liquid. I added sweet and sour sauce to the sauce I prepared the broccoli coleslaw in. I think when I make it again I will omit the plum sauce and just use sweet and sour sauce. I also added some garlic powder to the coleslaw and served a side dish of fried rice with some of the sauce drizzled over it. All and all it turned out delicious and my husband loved it too. Yes, I definitely will be making this again."
"nice and moist pork chops and the cole slaw mix was a nice side"

GENERIC NAME: enoxaparin
BRAND NAME: Lovenox
DRUG CLASS AND MECHANISM: Enoxaparin is a low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) that is used to prevent blood clots. It is produced by chemically breaking heparin into smaller-sized molecules. Unlike heparin, the effect of enoxaparin does not need to be monitored with blood tests. Like heparin, enoxaparin prevents blood clots from forming by blocking the action of two of the 12 clot-promoting proteins in blood (factors X and II) whose action is necessary for blood to clot. Enoxaparin is used to treat or prevent blood clots and their complications (deep vein thrombosis or DVT and pulmonary embolism or PE). Deep vein thrombosis is the formation of blood clots in veins deep in a muscle, most often in the legs deep vein thrombosis may lead to pulmonary embolism, a condition in which a piece of the clot (the embolus) breaks loose and travels through the veins to the lung. In the lung the clot blocks an artery and prevents the part of the lung that is supplied by the artery from working normally. If the artery that is blocked is a large artery, the embolus can cause sudden death. Thrombosis and embolism are responsible for 300,000 to 600,000 hospitalizations each year, and pulmonary embolism causes as many as 200,000 deaths each year in the U.S. Patients undergoing hip replacement and other major surgery are at increased risk of deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism. The FDA approved enoxaparin in 1993.
PRESCRIBED FOR: Enoxaparin is used for preventing deep vein thrombosis after abdominal, hip replacement, or knee replacement surgeries, and in patients with reduced mobility due to illness. It is used both in and out of the hospital for treating deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism. Enoxaparin also is used for preventing a second heart attack and related complications after a heart attack and for preventing blood clots in arterial stents.
SIDE EFFECTS: Common side effect associated with enoxaparin are:
Other important side effects are:

You never stop learning about wine. And that goes double for me. Because not only is there an ever-expanding body of knowledge to consume, at the same time you take in the facts, you take in some wine and then it's hard to remember the facts. That's one reason wine people, with their ability to remember both facts and flavors, are so awesome.
All I can do is keep trying.
That's what I do whenever local wine broker Francis Fecteau invites me to a tasting, like he did today. I brought my little notebook, and my camera, and I paid close attention to everything that monsieur from MaisonLouis Latour was telling me about the legendary red and white wines of Burgundy, while I noshed on escargots, cheese, frisee with walnut oil and all the other typical Burgundian foods set out by Eric Debonis at The Paris.
Then all of a sudden I realized I had moaned out loud. Not my fault. There was something about the combination of duck confit, chanterelles, lentils de Puy in a buckwheat crepe with the taste of the 2005 Marsannay, that overwhelmed me. Only a few heads turned.
Most of the sippers were listening intently to another explanation of the extremely mysterious negociant system, how the clay-lime-oyster shelly soil of Cbablis differs from the other 399 distinct dirts, I mean terroirs, of Burgundy.
And clearly I was learning something. Mainly, that I don't have a big enough wine budget. Not that these wines are incredibly expensive, but food journalists tend to get used to food and drink way out of line with what their income allows. Also, that anyone who thinks snails taste like garlic butter had better get over to The Paris and order some of the amazing pernod-and-parsley drenched ones being served there. I also got to practice saying pouilly-fuisse, something all Americans should know, since 75% of it is being shipped here.
I take it back. I think the main thing I learned is to be glad I live in a world where you can benefit from the wine knowledge of generations of people who have cultivated the same vineyards for hundreds of years.

Walton County School District's Youth Leadership students at South Walton High School and Freeport High School will join together to truly bring learning to life as students conduct a "mock trial" on Thursday, May 21st, 1:00 p.m. at the Walton County Courthouse with Judge Kelvin Wells.
The entire case will be conducted and decided by high school students in Walton County. South Walton High School students will serve as prosecutors, defense attorneys, and witness. Freeport High School students will serve as jurors for the case.
Students at South Walton High School have been working for weeks in preparing the case. The class of 19 juniors and seniors will serve as prosecutors, defense attorneys, and witnesses in the case of an attempted murder for the mock trial. The South Walton High School Youth Leadership class is offered to select students each day and is offered as an elective course with instructor Meredith Spence. Freeport High School also established a Youth Leadership program this year with the class meeting monthly with Assistant Principal Charlie Marello rather than daily. The class of 10 juniors and seniors will serve as jurors.
"I'm looking forward to bringing this case to life for our students in a real courtroom," said Meredith Spence. "I'm thrilled Freeport High students are joining us. Together, these students will gain a deeper understanding of our judicial system and the functions it serves."

Spotlight for Career Services ProfessionalsJuly 24, 2013
Most career services practitioners have a strong desire to work as part of the academic enterprise, not apart from it, says Rick Hearin, executive director of university career services at Rutgers University. And, for good reason.
"The more fully career services are integrated into the fabric of the institutional culture and academic life," Hearin explains, "the greater the likelihood that students' career aspirations and potential will be fulfilled."
He says the first step to establishing effective partnerships with faculty is to adopt an attitude that faculty can be important allies.
"However," he cautions, "don't count on reciprocation from all faculty. No worries, though, as you need only one or two strategic relationships with faculty in each department."
To establish faculty partnerships, he also recommends:
Hearin says that it's also imperative that career center leaders find ways to maintain meaningful contact with their faculty partners.
"Fortunately, most of this comes down to good old-fashioned human relations, buttressed now perhaps through any number of social media tools at our disposal," he says.
For example, in the book Leadership in Career Services: Voices from the Field, Hearin says periodic, formal touch-base efforts can be easily supplemented with an occasional e-mail to pass along an article of interest. He offered several other suggestions for maintaining these relationships:
"The important thing is to ensure that faculty partners know that the career center appreciates and places great value on the relationships it has with its academic partners," Hearin says. "'Thank you' is easy to say, but so often overlooked. A faculty relations strategy that builds in the 'thank you' for these important allies is sure to be effective."

Reviews for Cherry Bonbon Cookies
"I make 2 batches. Use red food coloring and put cherries in the center and green food coloring with chocolate chips in the center. For the top I melt chocolate chips and dip the tops refrigerate and they travel very well."
"Great taste. Easy to make. At first my dough was crumbly, but I'm never terribly exact measuring flour or powdered sugar. I added about a teaspoon of water and that made the dough stick together."
"These were great, but I did change them up a bit. I only used 1/2 cup of confectioners' sugar in the dough, and added a few drops of red food coloring to tint the dough pink. I also added 1/2 teaspoon of almond extract. I was worried that these cookies wouldn't travel well with the frosting so I rolled them in additional confectioners' sugar."
"those who had trouble with crumbling maybe did not measure exactly, maybe too much flour. thought they were great."
"Did not have a problem with the dough being too dry & not holding together at all! I made the icing & put into a plunger type decorating tube, so that it would come out like the picture. Ended up with about double the icing I would have needed. Other than that, they are REALLY good."

After his patient commits suicide, a shattered Richard Shapiro and his wife, Louise, both therapists, move from upscale, liberal Marin County, California, to a rural Michigan village in 1995. But so much for the great escape: Louise takes up with a magnetic married minister, and Richard befriends members of the local militia, which has ties to the Oklahoma City bomber. Set against the backdrop of a divided America, Breaking and Entering by Eileen Pollack is a novel laced with compassion, humor and wisdom about the ambiguities of modern life. (amazon.com)

Rated 3.3 out of 5 by 3 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by CurlyGirl You will love this chalkboard wall decal! I got this for my stepdaughter. I had one from another company and everytime she came over she commented on it. Well, she just got a new apartment and I searched to find a chalkboard decal for her refrigerator and I found this one. She LOVES it and it is even nicer than the one I already had from UpperCase Living. This one on World Market is nicer and costs much less. I would highly recommend it! January 30, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by Ka Gi It takes the paint off if you remove it Looks great. It erases easy and clean. The paint comes off the wall if you try to repostion it, so you better get it right the first time:( February 20, 2011
Rated 2 out of 5 by shoppingfanatic Won't stay stuck This would be great if it stayed stuck to the wall. I was constantly having to smooth it out until I took it down. Huge air bubbles would appear, making it so I had to rewrite everything daily. It did not remove my paint, but I am hoping the store will take it back. September 17, 2011

CLEVELAND (December 10, 2009) – Save the Date! The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum welcomes Elvis fans from near and far for a weekend of events surrounding the Museum's Elvis exhibit beginning on what would have been his 75th birthday - Friday, January 8 and Saturday, January 9, 2010. Schedule of events will be announced soon on this page.
The Rock Hall's exhibit devoted to Elvis includes more than 40 artifacts that tell the story of the undisputed King of Rock and Roll. Rising from a humble background, Elvis launched the rock and roll revolution with his commanding voice and charismatic stage presence and the world was never the same.
Exhibit highlights include:
• 1975 Lincoln Continental Mark IV 2 Door Coupe - the car was purchased by Presley on July 28, 1975 at Schilling Motors in Memphis, Tennessee. It is one of many cars that Presley famously purchased as a gift. This particular car was given to his bodyguard Dave Hebler. The day before Presley bought this car, he purchased 13 Cadillac's for a total of $140,000. He gave the 13 cars away to friends, family and a woman named Menni Person who happened to be window-shopping for a Cadillac at the dealership when Presley arrived.
• Jumpsuit, 1973 - Presley wore this suit, called "Snowflake," at concerts in San Diego, California, and Uniondale, New York.
• Jacket, c. 1956 - When he was a young man, Elvis Presley bought many of his clothes at the Lansky Brothers store on Beale Street in Memphis. Like most businesses on Beale, the store primarily catered to African-Americans.
• Elvis Presley Acoustic Guitar - When Elvis Presley sent his 1956 Gibson J-200 back to the factory to be refurbished and customized, the company sent this one as a replacement. He used it on his first recording sessions after his discharge from the Army and in his 1968 television special.
• Smith and Wesson Model 19-3 Revolver, 1967 and Colt Python Revolver, 1974 - Elvis Presley was a firearms enthusiast who owned many handguns in his lifetime. The Colt bears an engraving of the TCB logo on one side and the initials EP on the other.
• Elvis Presley Jukebox: Seeburg Selectromatic 100 - Presley's record company, RCA Records, presented this jukebox to him.

Boulder Feed Rescue Delivers Food by Bike
Submitted by Kris Thompson on
Boulder Food Share Rescue saves and delivers much of its food by bike. The rescue picks up perishables from local grocery stores and delivers them to family in need around town.
"You can bet every hour or two there is someone on a bike moving food," Dansky said.
Last week, Betsy Andrews, a Boulder Food Rescue volunteer since June, was using old bicycle inner tubes to batten down on a trailer boxes of produce and pastries that Ideal Market could no longer sell. Pamela Jaros-Helmstetter, associate team leader with Ideal, watched as Andrews carted away pints of aging strawberries, piles of cucumbers and a giant watermelon that otherwise would have gone to waste.

It was a quick turnaround for the Arizona State women's swimming and diving team after a commanding win at home on Saturday, but the squad suffered a loss after a quick trip to Salt Lake City on Sunday afternoon. While the women dropped a close one to Utah, 159-137, the men too were defeated by the Utes, 191-105.
Despite the loss, numerous positives for ASU can still be taken from the duals between the two Pac-12 schools. Many Sun Devil swimmers obtained first-place finishes and solid results, showing promise even in a losing effort. Among the top swimmers in the pool Saturday included Tristin Baxter, who continued her dominance in long-distance events. Baxter took first in both the 1000 free with a time of 10:15.71 and the 500 free with a time of 5:00.59. She has consistently paced the field and taken home victories in these events all season long.
Along with Baxter, Thibaut Capitaine also captured two first-place finishes for ASU. In his signature events, Capitaine won the 100 breast and the 200 breast with times of 57.47 and 2:07.03, respectively.
Off the diving board, Riley McCormick once again proved his overwhelming advantage, taking home first-place finishes in both the 1-meter dive, with a score of 349.95, and the 3-meter dive, with a score of 390.45. McCormick destroyed the competition in the 3-meter, winning by over 100 points, while second-place finished with only 279.45 points.
The Sun Devil women found success and took home the top three spots in both the 200 free as well as the 100 back. Juanita Barreto won the 200 free with a mark of 1:52.51, while Melanie Busch garnered first in the 100 back at 57.03.
Jennifer Morgan was the other victorious Sun Devil swimmer on the day, winning the 200 back with a time of 2:02.58.
Arizona State men's and women's swimming and diving have just under three weeks off before traveling to Berkeley, Calif. for an in-conference showdown against Cal. The dual will be broadcasted on the Pac-12 Network at 1:00 p.m. MT.

Guest blog courtesy of 2011 Summer Teacher Institute participant Bernie Howitt of Australia.
Rock and roll has a proud and rich history which celebrates a major American cultural achievement. To the rest of the world, rock and roll was often their first and most meaningful point of contact with "America." When Chuck Berry sang, "I'm so glad I'm livin' in the USA" in 1959, he was echoing the aspirations of everyone who wasn't.
The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum is deservedly the centre point of the celebration and commemoration of rock history. Equally impressive is the commitment to education embodied in the Summer Teacher Institute. To gather teachers together and share the resources and expertise of the Museum and its staff is an incredible opportunity. As an Australian history teacher passionate about the role rock music can play in enthusing and inspiring students, the chance to attend STI represented a dream.
Amazingly dreams can occasionally come true. I was supposed to visit the Hall of Fame and Museum in September 2001, when fate tragically intervened. For years I thought I'd missed my chance, but I kept checking the website, envious of the resources ...

The powerful attacker has played down speculation linking the Portuguese duo with the capital club, stressing that it is no more than rumourZlatan Ibrahimovic has voiced his opinion that it would be great for Paris Saint-Germain to secure the services of Real Madrid's Jose Mourinho and Cristiano Ronaldo, but has insisted that signing the duo is a dream for now.
The Portuguese pair have both been linked with a move to the Ligue 1 giants amid ongoing speculation that they could leave the Santiago Bernabeu, but the Swede remains coy on the subject at this point.
"It would be great news for any team to sign Mourinho and Ronaldo. Mourinho is a great coach, one of the best in the world, while Ronaldo is among the best players," the Sweden star told Marca.
"However, fact is that it's just speculation at this point, and not the reality.
"People can always dream of signing them and speculate what could happen, but there is no point in saying anything else on it until something takes off."
Ronaldo has a contract with Madrid until June 2015, while Mourinho's deal with los Blancos runs until the summer of 2016.

Read Movie Reviews about Toots Write a Movie Review for Toots
Release Date: 2008-11-21 (LA)
Genre: Documentary,
Rating: NR
Duration: 1hr 25min
"Toots Shor is many things to many people," said Edward R. Murrow of the legendary Manhattan saloonkeeper in 1955. A friend to the famous, a crook to the feds, father, brother, gambler, bum, but most of all Toots Shor was the owner of America's greatest saloon. Directed by his granddaughter, "Toots" is a provocative, loving and unmistakably authentic portrait of the self-made, unapologetic and quintessentially American man who became the unlikely den-mother to the heroes of America's golden age. Politicians and gangsters, sports heroes and movie stars--Sinatra, Gleason, Dimaggio, Ruth, Costello, Eisenhower, Nixon, Warren--for 30 years, they all found their way to Toots' eponymous saloon on New York's West 51st Street for food and drink, served up with a heaping side of insults and put downs. From its post-WW II heyday to its devastating decline in the 1970s, this film reveals as much about the city Toots loved as it does about the man and his enduring legacy.

Applicants' needs include car repairs
Published: Tuesday, December 4, 2012 at 4:26 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, December 4, 2012 at 4:26 p.m.
A mother of three pulls down the bill of her hat, trying to break the wind's chill as she crosses the busy street. The light would only turn if a car triggers the sensor, but because the side street has been empty for the past several minutes, she keeps looking both ways until the cars are far enough spaced before she can dart across the roadway safely.
The slight mist in the air makes the wind even tougher to bear as she jogs across the parking lot of her place of employment. Her shift would begin in three minutes. Time is ticking down as she washes her hands and takes her place at the drive-thru window. She makes a mental note to start her journey five minutes earlier tomorrow.
As she restocks paper products, waiting for her first customer, she calculates the number of checks it will take before she has enough extra to purchase her car's needed repairs. Just this past week, her fastest mode of transportation failed, and the repairman's estimation was over $800.
The repairs will eat through her entire Christmas budget three times over plus require a little extra. So with the saved funds in addition to the next several checks, she will purchase the repairs, but everything she had planned for her children's Christmas went up in smoke the minute her car gave up the ghost.

Rated 4.2 out of 5 by 5 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Elizabeth33 Exceeds Expectations, Perfect Proportion This shape of the lamp is great. More to the point, the proportion of the lamp and lampshade is ideal. The color is versatile; it's a dark brown color with a rustic texture, but minimal color variation. Also, the lamp feels very sturdy. In summary, it looks and feels like a much more expensive lamp.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Affordable Interior Design NYC GREAT LAMP GREAT LAMP September 28, 2011
Rated 5 out of 5 by Jen Casual yet elegant Looks great in our victorian home December 19, 2010
Rated 4 out of 5 by Milosmom Great looking lamp Very nice, sturdy lamp. Great looking in our family room. I love the size of the lamp and the barrel shade. The texture is sort of a faux wood grain, once it is put together and in place it really adds warmth and texture to room. October 31, 2010
Rated 2 out of 5 by jennbee01 Not What I was Expecting! I had been waiting to purchase this lamp, but felt that it was a little too high priced. When I had the (F & F discount) I decided to make the purchase. Ugh! This is an ugly lamp! The shade, which is probably the nicest part, is not like what is pictured--it really is a yellow-ish tan? It is rather large and has an interesting texture to it (possibly a faux linen look?) The lamp base is made of resin, which I detest for the cost, but thought I would still invest. Dont! It is ugly and has weird etchings in it ( a faux wood look?) It is not worth the price...it looks old and like a garage-sale find. October 19, 2010

a few weeks ago I got tired of my old FAL with the dumb green stock, grip and guard... So I did something about it.
I added a paintjob, a Flash-hider, an Aimpoint M2 (waiting on mount not in pic), a sling, DSA scope mount and a UTG quad rail hanguard.
(dont flame me for UTG I have had 2 others on my AR15's and for a place to to mount a Vertical Grip, Flashlight and other junk, You cant beat em for the price!!!)
Next is a SAW pistol grip, a stubby vertical foregrip a compact pistol LED light, a 2"x6" 7.62 Form 1 shorty suppressor and Maybe, Just Maybe down the road a Para conversion
This gun plays alot of roles... its My Favorite Rifle, My SHTF Go-To Rifle, and when my friends are shooting empty cans with .223, its my Watch this rifle ("thats not a gun, This is a gun!!!!")
