What old people, generally your grandparents, call "youngsters". The word is derived from the term "snapping your whip" which means getting a b0n3r. So basically your granddad is calling you a whipper snapper because you can get it up and he can't. The term has been used less frequently since the development of viagra
"You young whipper snappers!! Always sticking your business in places were it doesn't belong!"

Feminists Up To No Good!
Tell the Senate NOT to Ratify CEDAW!
With the new Democratic majority in the House and Senate, feminists across the country are pressuring Congress to ratify CEDAW, the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women. Signed by Jimmy Carter in 1980, and repeatedly promoted by Bill and Hillary Clinton, it has wisely never been ratified. A far-reaching international version of the ERA, CEDAW has already used its power to pressure 44 nations to legalize or increase access to abortion.
CEDAW undermines the dignity of women by devaluing their irreplaceable roles as mothers, infringes on national sovereignty, ignores the United States division of authority between the states and federal power, and allows the sexual rights of women to supersede the rights of other human beings including unborn children and men. CEDAW would give global bureaucrats and activist judges extraordinary power to revise U.S. laws, education, and customs to comport to radical feminist ideology. The U.S. Senate must say NO to CEDAW because putting the U.N. and its band of radical feminists in charge is not what our founding fathers had in mind!
President Bush can help stop the radical feminists by UNsigning the treaty like he did with the UNsigning of the International Criminal Court. Encourage our president to take a stand against the radical feminists and UNsign CEDAW.
The Senate Foreign Relations Committee could vote on CEDAW anytime! Please call your Senators and tell them to vote NO on the ratification of CEDAW. Members of the committee are especially important to contact! Call today!
Senate Foreign Relations Committee Members:
Democrats: Biden (DE), Dodd (CT), Kerry (MA), Feingold (WI), Boxer (CA), Nelson (FL), Obama (IL), Menendez (NJ), Cardin (MD), Casey (PA), Webb (VA)

RANGOON — Three activists in Burma, including a leader from the influential 88 Generation Peace and Open Society, were prevented from appearing at a public event in Mandalay over the weekend, after dozens of Buddhist monks protested their inclusion on the roster of scheduled speakers.
The three activists had planned to give remarks at a literature discussion in Mandalay's Mye Par quarter on Saturday, but about 40 monks approached organizers in advance of the event and demanded that the trio be removed from the list of speakers. The event was ultimately cancelled.
The activists—Mya Aye, who is a leader from the 88 Generation, Ko Ni, a High Court attorney, and Ma Thida, a well-known writer—told The Irrawaddy that the monks' stated objection to the three speaking at the event was their Muslim affiliation. Two of the three activists are practicing Muslims.
Despite the monks' ostensible reason for protesting, the activists said they suspected a "hidden political agenda" was behind the incident.
Mya Aye, a Muslim who has campaigned for democracy in Burma as a member of the 88 Generation for more than 20 years, said the weekend confrontation in Mandalay could tarnish the image of Burma as a country increasingly open to freedom of expression. The monks' ability to force the event's cancelation was indicative of the fact that rule of law remained a distance reality for Burma, he said.
The activist linked the monks' unruly behavior to a recent joint statement by Aung San Suu Kyi, chairwoman of the National League for Democracy (NLD) party, and 88 Generation members, who pledged to cooperate in pursuit of amending the 2008 Constitution.
"Behind this is a hidden political agenda because there are people who want to create religious problems to get political power as our country prepares for elections," Mya Aye said.
Burma is slated to hold national elections in 2015.
The weekend incident follows a similar cancellation last week in Rangoon. In both instances, it was monks objecting to Muslim speakers who disrupted the planned events. Ko Ni and Mya Aye were also scheduled to speak at a Rangoon literature discussion that was called off under similar circumstances on Wednesday of last week.
The 88 Generation Peace and Open Society released a statement on Tuesday saying a total of four literature events, including the ones in Mandalay and Rangoon, have been cancelled this year.
"We issued this statement to protect the right of writers who want to have democracy in this country and an end to the military system," the statement said.
The activists who were denied the chance to speak on Saturday called on all people of Burma's varied religious affiliations to work together for peace in the country and in support of religious freedom.
Ma Thida is a writer and activist who is not a Muslim, but previously served as a doctor at Rangoon's Muslim Free Hospital.
"This action could disturb peace in the country. It is sad to see this," she said, adding that opposition to the country's ongoing political reforms was likely a motivating factor.
Anti-Muslim violence has broken out in several states and divisions in Burma, much of it blamed on instigators who adhere to the so-called 969 Buddhist nationalist ideology. The 969 movement, led by the Mandalay-based monk U Wirathu, has become increasingly controversial in the last two years after the campaign—claiming that Burma's Muslims are threatening the Buddhist majority—gained traction nationwide.
The 969 movement calls on Buddhists to shun Muslim communities and buy only goods from Buddhist-owned shops. Critics of the movement say 969 sermons constitute hate speech and can be linked to outbreaks of Buddhist mob violence against Muslim communities throughout Burma.
Since 2012, such violence has left more than 200 people dead and displaced more than 140,000 people, most of them Muslims. Northern Arakan State has been the worst-affected after long-standing tensions between Arakanese Buddhists and the Rohingya Muslim minority exploded and mob attacks led to the death of 192 people in June and October of 2012.
"They cannot force people to believe only one religion," said Ma Thida. "All Burmese are not Buddhists … It is not appropriate in a democratic system to force a religious belief on someone. They should not act similarly to the [former] military dictatorship."
If left un-tackled, the religious fanatics will become the greatest problem for Burma. If the monks intervene in everything, try to involve in day-to-day affairs of people's lives, Burma will be no difference from Afghanistan under the Taliban rule.
With limited exposure in life and authoritarian nature of the doctrine under which they live, monks expect the absolute obedience and submission and full kowtowing from their subordinates and followers. No reasoning, no discussion, no debate whatsoever is allowed. They become addicted to that type of live style and demand the same treatment from the people of other religions and the world.
Fake Buddhist monks are trying to bully the citizens of Myanmar under the cover of monks' robes. Real Buddhist monks must try to prevent them from interfering secular politic and business. These fake monks are believed from NUP and USDP parties.
what is so called leader of democracy doing. she only eager for her seat.
extremist budhist should be arrested
USDP regime fails to bring love and acceptance in the multi-ethnic Union of Myanmar. Hatred and bitterness become the brand name of USDP Regime.
Ma Thida and fellow Myanmar Muslims, this world is not a FAIR PLACE take MALAYSIA, unless you are a MUSLIM BUMIPUTRA you are a second class citizen, Christians when saying prayers in Malay are not allowed to use the word Allah, Pictures of Pigs are not allowed to be published in magazines..etc. and Malaysia is a relatively moderate Muslim majority state, what about the other exterme SAUDI ARABIA.
After unexpected defeat from NLD in 2012, USDP realized their status in the minds of general people from Burma. Now they are playing their dirtiest cards for their survival. They allowed the most extremist Monk to preach hate speech against Muslims. First they initiated against Rohingya and slowly to all Muslims. You will find very few old Monks among current hate mongers but feel as if young military men are sent from Military Barak.
Burma is still under military rule. Its leaders are fooling the International community and the West leaders are only interested in business. The monks are paid servants of the junta. Most of them are fake. The good monks never gets unto politics.
I will urge the ethnic minorities not to give up but should fight for their rights.
Buddhism had been known as a peace loving religion. What is wrong with these monks who are hostile to people of other faiths? All muslims are not illegal aliens like Bengali in Arakan State. Mya Aye sacrificed his life for democracy in Myanmar. He feels like a real citizen. If these monks treat Mya Aye this way, they may think we the Christians the same way. Religious belief must be respected and every individual citizen of Myanmar must have freedom of faith without any harassment. Muslims, Buddhists and Christians must practice faith without attacking each other.
I'm completely in favor of the separation of Religion and State. … These two institutions screw us up enough on their own, so both of them together is certain death.
According to these follow-up reports on re: the Cancellation of Literary talks, it seems like some ultra-nationalist monks are trying to suppress any Muslim representation from the entire Burmese social and political life. This objective, you might say, is of silly, idiotic and racist mentality entirely eminating from small-mindedness and political illitracy. Surely, these sentiments of intolerance can be found resonating within Burmese common masses. Such dangerous ultra-nationalist agenda against racial or religious minorities is not limited to societies in transition, such as Burma. It can also showed-up too often even in the matured democracies.
What is most important in this case is, the NGOs, such as PEN, and eminent politicians such as 88 Groups, including the Burmese Government, had spoken out against the excesses of the PBMU monks. Such efforts should be commended. Remember the saying, "When good people do nothing, the evil will triumph". Good people within society must speak-out and speak-up aganist such ultra-nationalist movements.
In Solidarity,
U Ne Oo, Australia.
acts which have outraged the conscience of our society and that the human rights of every human being should be protected by the rule of law.
I am a Rohingya and our rights should be protected because ' All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. They are endowed with reason and conscience and should act towards one another in a spirit of brotherhood.
We Rohingyas are human beings and we deserve right to life, liberty and security of person.

Spotlight On...
Considering there have been at least a half-dozen film adaptations of this Charles Dickens classic—including an Oscar-winning musical and a Disney animated feature that turned the title character into a kitten—do we really need a new Oliver Twist on ABC's Wonderful World of Disney? Only if it gives a deserving actor the chance to feast on the role of Fagin, the wily, grasping old leader of a ring of boy pickpockets. Richard Dreyfuss, looking like a bird of prey with an enormous beak (comparable to Alec Guinness's oversized schnoz in the 1948 version), growls confidently in the early going, giving the impression that he can find some humor in the character without softening him into the gang's foxy surrogate grandpa. Increasingly, though, the film puts a specious twinkle in Fagin's avaricious eye, and at the end he receives a half hug and a vote of thanks from Oliver (newcomer Alex Trench), the orphan he has exploited.
Trench shows some natural appeal as the protagonist, but teen throb Elijah Wood needs more street grime, as well as more Cockney lessons, to be convincing as the Artful Dodger, Oliver's tutor in thievery. David O'Hara, on the other hand, has real menace as hardened criminal Bill Sikes, and Antoine Byrne is appealing as Nancy, the woman who inexplicably loves him. Their characterizations compensate for Fagin's fuzziness.
CBS (Sun. and Tues., Nov. 16 and 18, 9 p.m. ET)
The cast looks strong, the premise promising: Mafia widows (Vanessa Redgrave, Nastassja Kinski, Jennifer Tilly and Illeana Douglas) team up to get even with the underworld enemies who murdered their men. There are so many ways to go with this material—from straight melodrama to The First Wives Club in gangland—that it seems Bella Mafia can't lose. But the tone of the miniseries turns out to be as uncertain as Redgrave's and Kinski's Italian accents.
The guys, wouldn't you know, are the biggest problem. It takes all of the first two hours to get the principal women into revenge mode because Dennis Farina (as Redgrave's husband, a Sicilian don with a Chicago accent) and Tony Lo Bianco (hamming shamelessly as his New York City rival) are given way too much time to talk tough. As the nutso hit man responsible for murdering nearly every male dear to Redgrave, Kinski and company, James Marsden is allowed to dominate the second night while the Mafia princesses mostly scream, dither and flounder. Marsden overacts wildly, but who wouldn't in such a multidimensional part? He's Kinski's illegitimate son (as well as her would-be seducer), Lo Bianco's adopted son and, judging from his behavior, the devil's spawn. At the end, when Kinski accedes to crime-family leadership a la Al Pacino in The Godfather, we're pretty sure Bella Mafia is winking at us. Let's give writer Lynda La Plante (Prime Suspect) the benefit of the doubt and interpret the whole thing as a bloody put-on.
ABC (Sun. and Thurs., Nov. 16 and 20, 9 p.m. ET)
When it rains, it pours. Not only is a monster hurricane about to devastate the East Coast, but a pilot (Vincent Spano) has just discovered that his Washington-bound cargo jet is carrying a live nuclear warhead with a ticking timer. And when the nuke blows, it won't merely kill millions. A mad, dying Miami scientist (John Glover), who conned his ex-wife (Gail O'Grady) into taking the device to the Pentagon with the understanding that it was just a mock-up, has designed it to set off an electromagnetic charge—a "Medusa wave"—that will melt every computer chip on the continent. This may be the most explosive situation since Pandora's Clock, another airborne-disaster miniseries based on a John J. Nance novel, was shown on NBC during last November's sweeps.
Medusa's Child is even more preposterous than it sounds. Just wait till Part 2, when a fellow passenger (Lori Loughlin) is forced to play in-flight heart surgeon and cut out O'Grady's pacemaker—for reasons we won't attempt to explain. But Spano is fairly pleasant company in the cockpit. He plays it cutely cocky (picture the Fonz as a flyboy), a refreshing change from Richard Dean Anderson's curt and dour piloting of Pandora's Clock. Loughlin thinks Spano's hot stuff even before he steers the world away from doomsday.
Discovery Channel (Wed., Nov. 19, 10 p.m. ET)
Maybe this special amounts to an hour-long commercial, but only a curmudgeon would deny interest in the products on display. Slinky, Etch-A-Sketch, G.I. Joe, the Radio Flyer wagon, the Barbie doll—these playthings are true classics, and Our Favorite Toys is here to tell us who invented them, how they are made and why they have endured. Although the "why" part tends toward the obvious (they're fun), learning the "who" and "how" is an enjoyable, if trivial, pursuit. Visits to the Slinky and Etch-A-Sketch factories may put suggestible viewers in mind of Santa's workshop.
>Midseason Replacement Shows
DON'T GET AL FRANKEN WRONG. THE former Saturday Night Live regular turned political humorist says he's grateful to be starring in Lateline, a new NBC sitcom in which he plays an obnoxiously eager late-night news correspondent. Still, Franken, who has shot six episodes, can't help noting, "The cast is frustrated. We like what we've done, and everyone wants to do more, but you have to sit and wait."
That's because Lateline, like other new midseason shows being readied to replace fall flops, probably won't air until early '98. Why so late? "You wouldn't put on a new show in November, because it's [a] sweeps month," says Steve Grubbs, executive vice president for national broadcast buying at BBDO. "And a show could get lost [amid December Christmas specials]. If you really want to give it a chance, you go for January."
Some stars, though, actually welcome the delay. "It's like a safety net," says Debra Messing of ABC's Prey, a sci-fi series about a deadly new species. "You can be fixing your show while watching others to see what else is going on." But there is a downside. "We're working in a vacuum. You don't get [a] response from the public," says Melanie Greene, co-executive producer of Fox's Ask Harriet, about a newspaperman who masquerades as a female gossip columnist. "All we can do now," says Franken, laughing, "is show [Lateline] to our friends. I know my wife really likes it."

Hello again, my friends. It has been nearly a year since I have posted here. For the last year, I have been almost completely uninterested in the Red Wings or anything to do with hockey and the NHL (I did however, attend a single home game thanks to getting some free tickets). I decided that enough was enough. The bogus and phantom calls, and Bettmans' favoritism toward Pittsburgh were enough to completely drive me away from anything NHL/hockey related. And I post this to you now, as I hear from my friends in real life and fellow posters of LGW, that the situation is largely unchanged. And so I ask...
Why is the topic of officiating in the NHL such a taboo? Why does the NHL not only refuse to acknowledge their mistakes, but refuse to fix them? Furthermore, why are the teams and their owners doing f*** all about the situation? Why, in this modern age, do we still officiate sports of this caliber, using the judgement of a couple morons ON THE ICE (where they clearly cannot see everything)? Why have we not even attempted to move toward a better system? The state of this is absolute trash. And I would think that it's bad for the NHL in general. What is some new potential fan going to think when he sees a player for his team get tripped up and no call is made? They're going to call it bulls***. And it is, in fact, bulls***. How many times has Holmstrom been called for goaltender interference when it is clearly not?
Call it part of the game. Say that it cannot be changed. I'll say that's bulls***. There's already a war room in Toronto. Get rid of the rule enforcing referees who can only be watching one direction at a time, and replace them with people whose sole job is to drop the puck and break up fights. Staff up the war room with people who can watch the game from many different angles at a time. Have a button in the war room that signals a whistle / immediate stoppage immediately. And for god sakes, get rid of goals being waived off or bogus penalties by people who can't even see the whole game at once or review it themselves in slow motion.
When will something finally be done about the state of the officiating? When will teams and their GMs finally speak out against the NHL? I hope it's soon, because I'd really like to enjoy some hockey again.

BATTLE CREEK - The fourth-ranked Penn State wrestling team dominated Michigan State in picking up a 36-6 Big Ten road win Sunday afternoon.
The dual, wrestled in front of a packed house at Kellog Arena in Battle Creek, Mich., saw Penn State win nine of 10 bouts, losing only once on an illegal throw disqualification.
The dual began at heavyweight, where Nittany Lion senior Cameron Wade, ranked No. 6 nationally, gave Penn State a 3-0 lead with an 8-3 decision over Steve Andrus. Nittany Lion freshman Nico Megaludis, ranked No. 10 at 125, was crushing Eric Olanowski, 8-3, early in the second period before being called for an illegal hold.
When Olanowski could not continue, Megaludis lost the match on a disqualification, giving MSU a 6-3 lead. Lion sophomore Frank Martellotti made his 133-pound dual debut with a 7-5 win over Brandon Fifield to tie the dual and then Bryan Pearsall put Penn State on top for good by pinning Brian Gibbs at the 4:21 mark.
No. 1 Frank Molinaro handled No. 18 Dan Osterman, 9-3, at 149 to put Penn State up, 15-6.
With the win, Molinaro moved into 18th place on Penn State's all-time victories list (105) and into 17th on Penn State's all-time dual meet victory list (47).
Freshman Dylan Alton, ranked No. 9 at 157, then downed No. 14 Anthony Jones 1-0 to put the Nittany Lions up 18-6. Top-ranked David Taylor then majored David Cheza, 13-5, at 165.
Second-ranked Ed Ruth bested Michigan State's Curran Jacobs, posting a second-period technical fall at the 6:33 mark, getting the 17-2 win. Third-ranked Quentin Wright then fought off early struggles to pin Michigan State's John Rizqallah at the 5:52 mark to put Penn State up 33-6.
True freshman Morgan McIntosh, ranked No. 13 at 197, closed out the performance with a 7-5 win to give Penn State the 36-6 victory.
The Nittany Lions held a 24-5 edge in takedowns and picked up five riding-time points. Penn State picked up nine bonus points off two pins, a technical fall and a major. The Nittany Lions improved to 5-1, 1-1 in the Big Ten. Michigan State fell to 2-3, 0-2 in the league.
Penn State is at Northwestern on Friday.

FACTS Matter
Donald J Trump is every Conservative Republican after 3 or 4 drinks. He says exactly what they are thinking, when they dont have the stones to say it themselves. He just says them with their usual ignorance, but only louder.
You must be tasting the $#@! by now because you are full of it.

I suppose Cigar and Reality have a point if you define bull$#@! left-wing propaganda as "fact". Apparently, neither know the definition of fact. Let's consider point one. President Obama saved the auto industry. I suppose that's true if you define the auto industry as General Motors and you put them on welfare and don't require them to pay a share, much less a fair share. Let's hear from the GM bondholders who got screwed. Let's hear from the retired Delphi workers who lost their pensions. Now how that prevented a second great depression, whatever that is, is beyond a normal human imagination. Total bull$#@! defined by two nitwits as fact. President Obama does support women's issues. He pays them less but certainly supports womens issues like killing babies after they're born. Heck of a women's rights person. And, sadly, President Obama did nothing to get women equal pay for equal work because that was all done before he learned who Lenin was.
How about, "Eliminate dozens of Al Queda leaders including Osama bin Laden". Eliminated? Oh, killed. Eliminated is so clean. I suppose leftists would be proud of murder. And, golly, Al Queda is practically destroyed and our standing in the Middle East is so much better. Oh, a few "bumps in the road" and perhaps "less than optimal" but once we prosecute movie producers everything will be fine.
Feeling any shame guys? Excuse me. Leftists lack a sense of responsibility which is necessary for a sense of shame.

Dear Daddy,
Entry posted by IsabelleMcD ·

Dear Daddy
I found a book the other day which you made me the day I was born. I found a card addressed to my Mum:
'Dear New Mummy, Thanks for making me the happiest man in the world. I have the two most special girls in the world. Thanks for my beautiful daughter. I love you both, my two gorgeous girls. x'
I cried. I don't know the man who wrote that card, although I spent most of my childhood wishing I did. Instead I knew the man you became.
I only knew you as the man who abused my Mum. The man who told me I was ugly. The man who told me I was no longer his daughter. The man who drunk himself into nothingness everynight. The man who made me dread visiting him..
The day you finally left us was the day before I started school. I bet you don't remember that. I bet you don't remember seeing me sat at the top of the stairs as you held my Mum up against the hallway wall by her neck threatening to kill her before walking out the door. Do you remember life before you walked out on your 'two gorgeous girls' and my gorgeous little sister. I know people change and I know relationships fall apart but I also know now how little you cared about us.
Did you know I have one memory of you whilst you lived with us? It was Christmas morning and I was 4. I ran into your bedroom and woke you up. You ignored me. Mum took us both downstairs and all we could hear was you being sick upstairs. I felt sorry for Daddy because he was sick on Christmas. But no, Daddy was hungover.. again.
So you left. I was 4. My sister was 2. You cleared the bank accounts. Left my Mum without even enough money for a solicitor. She had to borrow money off my amazing Grandparents to go through with the divorce you filed. I had to stop dancing. Until my Grandparents lent us the money to pay for it. We had to sell the car. My Mum couldn't pay the mortgage. But hey, not your problem anymore!
Do you remember your second wedding day? Do you remember seeing your two gorgeous daughters there smiling at you? No? Thats beacuse you didnt invite us. Or tell us until two months later, despite the fact at the time we saw you (or rather sat at home at your new house whilst you went to the pub) once a week. But its fine I got over that.
Do you know even when you were at home and we visited how much I dreaded it. I dont enjoy being told I am ugly, fat, a waste of space. I didn't enjoy everything else you did either..
Did you know Daddy that every sunday night (until I was 8 and you decided you no longer wanted us as part of your life) you sent us home to a Mum you had sent over the top. I guess being abused for so long made her unwilling to trust. She had to be the most powerful one. Mum always had to be in control. Do you know how many times I watched her punch my step dad or push him down the stairs or stab him? Do you know how many times I refused to go to sleep scared I wouldn't wake up again? No. Sorry, of course not.
And I dont need to ask these questions. I know the answers. Did you recognise me when I crossed you in the street the other day? Did you think of me when you told me you would drop my 16th Birthday present around at the weekend and I am still waiting? Do you think of me on my birthday or christmas because in the last 18 months I haven't recieved a card? Do you even know when my birthday is? Did you realise I dont even know your address? All I know from my Grandmother is that it is a 15 minute walk from mine. Have you ever visited? Hmmmm..
And you definitely dont know this. Everytime I think of you and all the pain you caused I slice my skin open? Its all I can do to try and reduce the hurt inside of me? Thought not.
Lots of Love your 'gorgeous Girl'. x

Members of the Elkins Fire Department have been spending the last several weeks training the newest member of their department.
Eight weeks ago, the fire department took in a puppy named Ember.
"We got her from the shelter," said Elkins Fire Department Chief Tom Meader. "The duty guys and I decided we would get her and keep her in the building and on the trucks."

Once fully trained, Ember, a dalmation recently adopted by the Elkins Fire Department, will probably visit local schools to help raise awareness of fire safety.

Elkins Fire Department Chief Tom Meader works this week with the department's new dog, Ember. Meader said the department has had the dog for about eight weeks, and he hopes to be able to use the canine as an educational tool in the future.
Meader said Ember will primarily be a companion for the paid firefighters, who spend 24-hour shifts at the department.
"Eventually we are going to have her on the trucks, and we hope to take her to the schools," Meader said. "She provides good companionship for the duty guys. They are here for 24 hours, and it is nice to have the dog around."
Meader said the department is working to train the dog and said she is progressing very well.
"She will not leave the department even when the doors are open," he said. "Most of the time she will be on the trucks when we go out on a call."
He said Ember is very good with children, and he hopes to be able to use the dog as an educational tool when she is a little older and better trained.
"I am trying to teach her to stop, drop and roll," he said.

Since retiring from my teaching career I've discovered that there is life outside of the classroom! I spend parts of most of my days indulging in my favorite hobbies of quilting and sewing. I started designing patterns as an experiment, and no one was more surprised than I was to find that other people liked my little designs. I try to write my patterns in such a way that beginning quilters can follow them. I include lots of details, photos, and little informative notes, so even if they look complicated, the instructions should be easy to follow.

It's magical December, and the silhouette children are busily helping to decorate the house and get everything set up for Christmas. Holiday music plays in the background as the boy hangs ornaments on the tree. The girl is bringing wrapped Christmas presents - too many at once, it appears. Her pooch isn't helping one bit! This is no time to beg for attention! Everything is about to topple!
For the December silhouettes I've added a bonus pattern for a small wall hanging or table topper. Enlarged images from the two mug rugs are combined into one scene. This is just a small thank you, a tiny Christmas gift for those of you who like my silhouettes.
Mug rugs and wall hanging are all quickly stitched with fusible web applique. The mug rugs tossed on a desk or a table by your chair are just the right size for holding a cup of something hot and a Christmas cookie or two. The larger piece can hang on a wall or brighten the top of a table. Made in colorful holiday fabrics, the three pieces will add a bit of holiday cheer to your home.
I've had so many questions about the fabric I used. The fabric is Blitzen by Basic Gray for Moda.
The pattern contains detailed instructions for mug rugs and for the wall hanging and is filled with photographs. Full size templates in both sizes are included.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions you may have though email or on my Facebook page.

You're in my way.
That doesn't sound nice at all, does it? Whether through words or body language, it's the feeling children get day in and day out. They are in somebody's way or on somebody's nerves.
Change that feeling in your house, starting with the kitchen. It's easy to shoo your own, or visiting, kids out from being underfoot, but children need relatives and neighbors to put out the welcome mat. Your presence, more than presents, is what they need.
Instead of kicking kids out of the best spot in the house, invite them in for cooking lessons. Incorporate their interests and abilities in food prep, baking, cleanup and setting the table. Even a child as young as 2 or 3, when properly supervised, can learn to crack eggs, measure ingredients, roll dough into balls, sift flour and peel apples. All sorts of step-by-step lessons can come into play, from the chemistry of cooking, to reading recipes, to the math of measuring.
They will make messes, yes, but also make memories and learn life skills.
Need peppermint sticks smashed into bits? A toddler with a plastic hammer is your go-to helper. So many jobs in the kitchen are fun, such as washing lettuce in a salad spinner and tearing it into bite-size pieces.
The best ingredients to employ: An extra dose of patience and a spoonful of love.
Perhaps the most compelling kitchen invitation for children, over the holidays or any time, is to make cookies together. If you have a sugar dough recipe that needs to chill, and only a short time with family, make the dough a day ahead. Then focus the time you have together on rolling out the dough, cutting out shapes and decorating. Teach, incorporate, share what you know.
Wrap up the project by sharing the cookies, taking photos and writing down the recipe together.
My favorite recipe to cook with children over the holidays is called Snowballs. It's a recipe passed down from my grandmother, whom we called Mamaw.
Snowballs call for a quarter pound of butter; two rounded tablespoons of powdered sugar; one cup of flour; a pinch of salt; one cup of finely chopped pecans; and one-quarter teaspoon of vanilla.
Cream the butter, powdered sugar, flour and salt together well. Then add the pecans and vanilla. Roll into small balls, pressing each tightly. Bake in a 300-degree oven for about 25 minutes, or until very light brown.
The fun part: Once the cookies are baked and cooled, each ball is rolled in powdered sugar. Your little assistant will need to learn not to dump out the entire box of sugar, and that a little bit goes a long way.
What may be second nature to you, such as rolling out dough, takes practice for your mini chef. All of this hard work will help build fine-motor skills necessary for school.
Another fun option is to make candy with kids, such as assembling melted chocolate, caramels and pecans into "turtles." Candy-finishing advice from our Flagler family cookbook: "Spoon chocolate over the teeny turtle bodies."
Our family cookbook also includes one of my sister's recipes for play-dough: one cup of flour; a half-cup of salt; two teaspoons cream of tartar; one cup of water; and one tablespoon of vegetable oil.
Mix all ingredients thoroughly, cooking over medium heat. Stir until the mix leaves the sides of the saucepan and is firm. Add a couple of drops of food coloring to tint, and add scents of the season such as peppermint or cinnamon. Again, let your little learners do as many steps as they can. Make several batches, divide into small plastic containers, add a ribbon and cookie cutter and voila! Inexpensive gifts for friends.

Mexico City – Mexican poet Javier Sicilia, who launched a grassroots movement against violence after his son was killed earlier this year, said Thursday he will forgive the men suspected in the murder if he meets them in person but still insists that "justice" be served.
"I don't believe in charity without justice, or forgiveness without justice. They go hand-in-hand, but justice must be (a process of) healing within their hearts because they can't give us back our children's lives," Sicilia told MVS radio.
The prominent poet and journalist said Wednesday's arrest of Julio de Jesus Radilla - leader of the Pacifico Sur cartel in the central state of Morelos - and two others suspected in the killing of Sicilia's son "shows that when the police want to do things they can do (them) very well and do the job people are paying them to do."
"They've just shown what they can do. They have to do (the same) in each of the cases" of victims of drug-related violence, the poet said.
Sicilia, whose son Juan Francisco was killed on March 27 along with six other people in Temixco, Morelos, responded by launching a grassroots movement against violence and impunity.
He already has headed one mass march to Mexico City and next month will lead another from Cuernavaca, Morelos, to the violent northern border city of Ciudad Juarez.
The poet said he wants to see the suspected killers of his son face-to-face and talk to them about forgiveness - a "complex, profound, subject" - and "confront them with his own misery."
Sicilia, a Catholic and advocate of the philosophy of non-violence, said forgiveness in all of its forms is a gift of grace, "something born out of charity," and that he wants to extend it to his son's killers.
He said the six suspected drug cartel hit men implicated in the killings "still have the chance to save themselves" but that will involve "serving out the sentence that corresponds to these crimes, as a means of remorse, expiation, awareness of their guilt, enabling them to truly and sincerely ask for forgiveness and change their lives."
The poet said if he meets with them he will use the oportunity to send a message to their bosses: "to let us live in peace, to stay away from ordinary citizens, from good people."
"We're fed up with the violence and with losing our loved ones. Surely there's still that ounce of humanity I believe must still exist in these human beings. If not, they're already in the realm of the diabolical, in hell, and their horror will keep them there forever," Sicilia added.
"I don't wish evil on anyone, even if it's the people who murdered my son."
Sicilia has become a spokesman for the relatives of thousands of innocent victims of drug-related violence in Mexico, which has been wracked by daily turf battles among drug cartels and clashes between the mobs and the security forces in different parts of the country.
Nearly 40,000 people have been killed in organized crime-related violence since President Felipe Calderon took office in December 2006 and militarized the struggle against the cartels.

Arched entry to Mount Rainier National Park near completion
By The Associated Press • Aug 23, 2011
MOUNT RAINIER, Wash. — Crews are finishing work on an arched entry to Mount Rainier National Park on Highway 410 to replace an equestrian overpass that was built in 1936 by the Civilian Conservation Corps.
The park says the old structure was unsafe. The new one will serve hikers and horse riders on the Pacific Crest Trail at the eastern entrance to the park at an elevation of more than 5,400 feet.
The News Tribune reports a crane was used Monday to place two structural supports — 70-foot logs, 3 feet in diameter.

Wildfire season in the United States typically runs in the western states from May through September, but the threat of a wildfire exists wherever there are wildland or wilderness areas throughout the year. A comprehensive emergency plan communicated and tested with your personnel helps minimize loss to your business. FEMA, OSHA and NIOSH have published recommendations on building preparedness plans.
- Install smoke detectors and fire extinguishers, and consider automatic sprinkler systems, fire hoses and fire-resistant doors and walls.
- Establish a process for alerting the fire department.
- Develop and test an emergency plan with your employees, including evacuation procedures.
- Create a "safety zone" around your building by removing combustible material.
- Avoid open burning, especially close to structures or any flammable materials, including trees, brush, trash, or during the dry season.
- Make sure you have copies of all important documents and photographs of all critical assets stored safely offsite in fire-resistant containers.
Escaping the Fire
- Do not lock your facility. Firefighters may need to gain quick entry to fight the fire.
- If you are trapped inside, stay away from outside walls.
- If you are outside and cannot escape the area, find a depression with sparse fuel or a road, and lie face down. Cover yourself with anything that will shield you from the fire's heat.
- If you or someone with you is burned, call 911; cool and cover burns to reduce chance of further injury or infection.
Returning to Your Facility
- Check the roof for any fires or embers.
- If you detect heat or smoke when entering, leave immediately.
- Routinely check for smoke and sparks that may ignite for several hours after the fire.
- If you have a safe or strong box, do not open it. These can hold intense heat for several hours, and if opened before the box has cooled, the contents could burst into flames.
- Do not return to your facility until local authorities report that it is safe to do so.
- When you do return, wear protective clothing and check with local officials about air quality before entering the area.
- Document damage to your facility and photograph all damage and compare to photographs and documents taken before the fire.
- Report damage to your insurance company.

Splint Cell: Conviciton Review- Warpzone Gaming
Splinter Cell: Conviction isn't your normal Splinter Cell game. Sure, it still stars Sam Fisher. The spy organization Third Echelon is still here. And you can still jump out of the shadows to snap a neck or two. But for one thing that's the same there are two things that they've changed. Movement and interactions with the environment are much smoother and streamlined. You're fighting against Third Echelon, instead of working for it. But mostly, there is much less of an emphasis on using stealth.
Except for just one or two moments in the story, it doesn't matter if you just run into each room with guns blazing. For the most part, you need to impose the stealth on yourself. Being a big fan of past Splinter Cell games, I would almost never opt to just shoot my way through. There's nothing I like better then taking out a room of seven people without one of them even knowing that I was there. But it's still nice to be able to resort to an assault rifle and some grenades when I'm caught trying to sneak past a group. At some points in the story, and even one entire level, stealth is thrown completely out the window, and the game turns into a strange mix of Call of Duty and Gears of War. These points are a nice break from the rest of the game, but for me, the stealth action is still the reason to play.Conviction is a much more linear than past games. The majority of the game only has one, maybe two ways you can tackle a situation. Throughout the different levels you get to some rooms that open up, allowing you to get creative with how you want to utilize your gadgets, and the environment, to take out the enemies. I also found that I was much more willing to use my gadgets in Conviction than I was in past games. For one, it's much easier to actually select and utilize them, compared to older Splinter Cell games that would take a few menu options before you got to what you wanted. And two, you get restocked on them three or four times in each level. In the past i mostly I didn't want to use gadgets just in case, later on, I got into a situation when I would really need them. Getting a resupply of EMPs, grenades and sticky cameras every fifteen minutes solved that problem.
The mark-and-execute, being able to highlight enemies before a fight then have Sam take them out in a Jason Bourne-esc fashion, is by far one of the best features. It always makes you look and feel like the bad-ass that Sam Fisher should be, even if obtaining the mark-and-execute is one of the more arbitrary game mechanics. Why do you need to take out a guy with a melee attack before you can use it? Well because the game would be far too easy if you could do it whenever you want, and it makes stealth useful. It makes sense why this convention is put in place, it's just a little silly when you think about it.
As far as the story goes, it's what you might expect from a low budget spy movie. Nothing to write home about but it's good enough to hold your attention for the duration of the campaign. The presentation on the other hand, projecting key story figures and objectives on the walls remained cool throughout. It's not a game changer, or a revolution in storytelling, but it's something that's fun to look during the missions, and keeps your from checking back in the menu to remember what your goal is.Co-op and multiplayer are a big part of Splinter Cell for me. In Conviction, the co-op delivered what I wanted and the multiplayer is kind of lacking for me. The co-op is a completely separate side story to the main one. Working together with a buddy, coming up with strategies that just aren't possible alone, always makes the co-op in Splinter Cell something special. Counting down to when you'll jump out and take two guys out at once, or timing your mark-and-executes to clear out large groups of people at a time, nothing is better. I do wish some of the co-op mechanics from Chaos Theory were still present. No more boosting your buddy up to a ledge, then using his body as a ladder, or tossing him over some laser traps. None of those mechanics remain, and I miss them, but there not a deal breaker. The multiplayer on the other hand just didn't grab me. There are a number of modes that basically boil down to a spy vs. spy, terrorist hunt, and hoard mode. Nothing that I found as exciting as the old Spies vs. Mercenaries did in past games. But between the single player and co-op, there's still plenty of game here to enjoy.
Splinter Cell: Conviction is a game that tries to please everyone. People that like sneaking around and people that just want to shoot things. And for the most part, it did a pretty good job. I'm someone that probably would of liked them to take it more down the old school stealth path (At least let me hide a body. Come on Ubisoft), but I can appreciate what they were trying to do.
