It rained all day on Friday and we just hung around town and visited some of the shops and bought a few souvenirs. Most of the time we just hung around the New Inn. Even though it rained it was a nice day. That night we gathered in the New Inn for a dinner and beer. The pub was filled with a lot of people I knew from the last time I was here. Everyone wished us well and hoped we would visit again soon.
Maria, David, Mike, Mike, Sally, Bryan and Buster (the dog)
Saturday we got up and had a breakfast of pork pies. Then we walked around town some more and then up to church, which was built in the early 1300s. We also visited a the grave of Matthew Grimes, who was a pallbearer at Napoleon's funeral.
We met a man and his wife walking their pet goats.
We also met the same friendly cat that was in my 2010 trip report.
After a final lunch at the New Inn we piled into David's rental car for the trip to York Station. Where we boarded the train to MAN. With a train change and Manchester Picidilly Station.
We headed over to Bewley's hotel, which is where we would stay the night before heading to AMS.
We ate dinner there and then went to bed. The next morning we had their Irish breakfast buffet and mom and I took a cab over to the Runway Visitor Park.
I have been to the visitor park before, but I always enjoy visiting there and watching the planes. They were not giving tours of Concorde that day, so we missed out on that. I have done it before, but mom wanted to see it.
Back to Bewley's for lunch and then the hotel van took us to T3 for our trip to AMS
The check inn line was LONG and there was a shift change that left only one man working the counter. There were people in line for three different flights, including a Paris flight that was leaving in less than an hour. Finally after a half hour new agents arrived and they took all the Paris people first. I bet2/3s of a A319 was still waiting to check bags. I heard they had been waiting for two hours.
After over an hour waiting to drop our bags we headed through security, which was as easy as the bag drop line was painful. Mom and dad stopped to get some Euros for the next leg of our trip.
We walked around T3
Then headed to our gate to board our KLM 737-700 that would take us to AMS.
The flight was nearly full and the flying was perfect. We were served a snack
The flight was only an hour
We landed at AMS and headed through passport control to the baggage claim area, judging by the lack of people from our flight we assumed most of them were connecting, like I usually do.
We headed over to the railroad ticket office and bought some first class tickets to Central Station. Even though it was a fifteen minute train ride we figured we would get first class so we wouldn't likely be sitting next to any stinky hippies.
The train arrived about five minutes late and there were a lot of people standing around on the platform waiting for it
The train was comfortable, but not as nice as the one from MAN to York.
We arrived at Central Station and it was PACKED. People everywhere!!!!
We made our way out of the station over to the Double Tree hotel, next to it.
The Double Tree is almost new and is a very nice hotel, which dad used his Hilton Honors points to get us. Mom and dad had their own room and so did I. Both rooms were identical, except the layout was exactly opposite.
We had an excellent view of the city from our rooms.
It was around 8:30pm by the time we got settled and it was time to east and drink. We went some Italian chain restaurant in front of the central Library and then walked around the library.
After that we some beers at Barco's which is a boat that is next to the Sea Palace Chinese restaurant.
The next day we got on a "hop on hop off" canal boat and wondered around town. I have flown in and out of AMS many times but I never actually got into the city of Amsterdam.
We went to the Van Gogh Museum, which my dad loved and mom and I; well not so much. I am not a big Van Gogh fan. After that we had lunch at the vintage hotel called the American, or something of the sort. It rained most of the day so dad took the streetcar back to the hotel and mom and I got out our umbrellas and walked around town. We walked down several streets that had things (not actual people) in the windows that normally you don't want to see with your mother, such as the GI-Joe like dolls without pants on.
One of the tour guides, on the boat, said that the canals are 3 meters deep; one meter water, one muck and one bicycles. Well... we saw a dredge pulling up a lot of bikes.
After a long walk we made it back to the hotel and went up to the sky lounge and had some drinks. The view from the Sky Lounge was fantastic and you should go there even if you don't stay at the Double Tree.
The Lounge also had a great view for watching trains coming in and out of Central Station
That night we headed over to the Sea Palace Chinese restaurant for dinner and were delighted how nice it was and how good the food was.
After eating mom went off to bed and dad and I wondered on down to the Red Light District for some beers.
We didn't stay out too late because we were tired from our long day and went back to the Double Tree. The breakfast at the Double Tree was top shelf and enjoyed every bit of it. We had purchased tickets for the Anne Frank House, but blew it off because we saw the outside the day before and didn't feel like standing in line.
We went to the Maritime Museum instead, which was very cool.
The replica of the "Amsterdam" was fantastic.
We got back on the "blue line" for the canal "hop on hop off" boat and cruised around the city for another two hours.
After that we walked around the city seeing more sights until it was time to catch the cab to AMS at 5:00pm
The cab was 40 Euros, to the airport, and was in this dandy Mercedes-Benz van
We weren't leaving until the next day, but we decided to stay the night at the Yotel inside AMS. I stayed at the Yotel last year on my ZRH-AMS-DTW trip and was impressed by it. Mom and dad liked my photos of it from before and wanted to stay there.
I had the same small cabin I had when I flew ZRH-AMS-DTW last year. It is very small, but it has everything that you need for a restful night.
Mom and dad had the biggest room in the Yotel. For some reason or another they were given the family sized room, which had a queen bed and two bunk beds. It is also the disabled room and had a massive bathroom. The big room was nice, but it didn't have the Yotel feel.
The downside to staying at the Yotel the night before your flight is that you have to bring all your bags through passport control and then go and check them in the morning.
We had some cheese burgers and headed off to bed.
I was told, by a KLM agent, to expect long lines at check in and to be inline by 7am for our 10:35am flight, which began the boarding process at 9am. We were out the door at the Yotel at 6:40am and at the KLM bag drop desk at 7am. It turned out that there wasn't much of a line at all, there was only one person in front of us. We dropped our bags and were back inside the terminal by 7:10am.
The coffee dad left inside the terminal, on top of a locker wasn't even cold.
With so much time to kill we sat down and had breakfast.
[Edited 2012-07-13 18:23:57]
We went over to our gate at 9am to find what looked like a plane load of passengers.
The security process went very smoothly, but once through there was not nearly enough chairs for the A330 sized load of people waiting to get on the plane.
We began to actually board the plane at 10:05am. Everyone was on board rather quickly and we pushed back right on time.
The flight was uneventful and the weather was just about perfect, once we got above the rain clouds.
Lunch was served and mom and I had the Greek salad with grille chicken dad had the lasagna, there was also a choice of Thai chicken.
I began to write my trip report, which I was able to get most of which completed before the battery ran out on the laptop. After that I watched the movie "Office Space", which I haven't seen since it was new. I forgot how much I enjoyed that movie and it reminded me how much my job sucked when I worked in a cubicle.
After the movie I played some Trivia Challenge and found most of the aviation questions to be very easy, but probably not for the average person. After that I watched a documentary about the sinking of the German battleship Bismark.
Before we landed we were given a snack of ice cream and a cheese calzone, both of which were very good.
We landed at DTW fifteen minutes ahead of schedule and arrived at the gate at 1pm. Then it was time for the walk to customs, which wasn't too bad, but it still could have been shorter. We picked the line that turned out to be the wrong one, because several people in it had some sort of issues that required them to stay at customs for very long periods of time. Some other customs lines opened up so we moved over to them and were through in no time. We gathered our bags and went through the second check and were out the door.
We grabbed a taxi and headed back to my house, which ended another great European vacation

This game occurred in Holland in 1921. Young Max Euwe played aggressively against Dutch master Jacques Davidson when they met in The Hague. their game is key for knowing how to handle the big Pawn center that can result if Black offers to transpose into a Queen's Indian on move 3 with this move order: 1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 e6 3.Nc3 b6!? 4.e4.
I will sometimes invite a Queen's Indian on move 3 if I'm not in the mood to defend certain systems in the QGD, including the Exchange variation and the lines that feature Bf4 (instead of Bg5), so this game is important for my repertoire.

Have you been to Bonbon Pastry & Cafe in Ohio City? Email us your review of the food, service and atmosphere. Include your full name and where you live. We'll publish a sampling on Cleveland.com and in The Plain Dealer. Email firstname.lastname@example.com to sound off.
Breakfast: it's what's for dinner.
And sometimes, lunch.
If you're like most people, sometimes its easier to whip up some eggs or French toast than cook a full meal midday, or at the end of the day. It's something our family does a couple of times a month.
But I've never had midday wake-up food at a restaurant, until now.
When I heard the trendy Bonbon Pastry & Cafe on the corner of West 25th Street and Lorain Avenue in Ohio City served morning foods till afternoon, I decided to give it a try after a stop across the street at the West Side Market.
I wasn't the only one. A recent appearance on the Food Network's "Sweet Genius" show, a 2011 prize on "Cupcake Wars" and word-of-mouth buzz that keeps growing have made a table at Bonbon Pastry & Cafe a hot commodity. Fortunately, my 5-year-old and I had plenty of visual treats to keep us occupied as we waited for a table, namely the fantastic-looking cupcakes in the pastry case and the pretty-funky gingerbread house and other holiday decorations.
After a brief wait, we were seated at a front table overlooking Lorain Avenue in the modern, comfortably airy dining room.
Choosing from the wide-ranging breakfast menu, after considering the silver dollar pancakes with cinnamon butter, maple syrup, fresh fruit and cider bacon, my daughter opted for the incredibly decadent-sounding vanilla bean French toast. The French toast consisted of huge pieces of Texas toast topped with Nutella, candied hazelnuts, orange marmalade and fig compote ($12).
It was as delicious as it was decadent. And, yes, pricey for breakfast -- though Bonbon offers many lower-priced menu items. After debating the breakfast sandwich with focaccia, tomato, apple and maple sausage cheddar ($7.50), I settled on the fontina and herb omelet ($8), served with a small salad and focaccia bread. Though the cheese in the center could have been melted a bit more, it was still a flavorful choice, paired nicely with the greens and crusty bread.
We both sampled a drink from Bonbon's extensive hot-drinks menu: a rich, creamy chocolate for her ($2.50) and a perfectly frothed cappuccino for me ($2.50).
Lunch items, for those so inclined, included pulled-pork sandwiches, a blue corn calamari po-boy and a rocket tofu salad with smoked tofu.
But Bonbon has made its name on its sweet endings, so that's why we decided to follow breakfast with dessert -- a concept that delighted my daughter. We opted for its famous cupcakes. These huge cakes ($2.25) come in an array of exotic flavors. We tried the spicy Mexican Chocolate, the delightfully nuanced lavender and the traditional but hardly ordinary vanilla. All were topped with some of the richest, best buttercream frosting I've tasted.
It was so good my daughter ate all of her frosting first and skipped the cake bottom. If I were a kid, I'd have done the same. But breakfast for lunch topped by a cupcake was fun enough for one day.

Solution focus tenets are at the heart of best practice when engaging families. The worker needs to approach the interview in a thoughtful and prepared way. It makes the client the expert in their life; ethnographic interviewing is the driver of these methods. Using culturally appropriate and multicultural methods in the interview is central to this learning. The core model addressed will be solution-focused methods. Participants will learn by way of lecture, small group activities, role-plays and examples in the media.

Re-thinking Advertising: Histories, Praxis and Interpretations.
22-23 April 2010, University of Melbourne, Melbourne
The Cultural History of Economies Research Hub (CHERHub) in the School of Historical Studies, University of Melbourne, together with RMIT University and University of Technology Sydney, invites you to participate in this forthcoming event.
CHERHub provides a meeting point for an interdisciplinary group of scholars who are engaged in, and seeking to orientate and develop, a cultural approach to the study of economies. The working premise for this approach is that the economy is a culturally charged arena and that the coherence of the economy and its ability to function depends on the aptitude of people to interact, to allocate values and norms, and also on their willingness to share representations of these values and norms.
Advertising is an important site for scholars engaged in this approach. It is the powerhouse of the modern global economy yet little research has been done on how this industry works in Australia.
This symposium aims to place the advertising industry in its historical contexts, explore how it works and discuss its multi-faceted meanings. The focus of the symposium is Australia but we also welcome papers dealing with global aspects of the topic.
Keynote speakers include Dr Liz McFall (Open University, UK), author of Advertising: A Cultural Economy (2004) and Professor John Sinclair, University of Melbourne.
Themes for 20 minute papers might include, but are not limited to:
• The cultural economy of advertising
• Hierarchies in advertising agencies
• Impact of new technologies
• Global/national/local
• Remaking cultural knowledge
• Ethnicity, gender and class
• Advertising politics
• Recording advertising histories
• Advertising pedagogy
• Brands and identity
• The economics of advertising
• Histories of advertising
We will be looking to publish selected papers from this conference and we welcome proposals from post-graduate students.
Please send a title, 300 word abstract and short biography to firstname.lastname@example.com by Friday 15 January 2010.

It's a move by big pharma to take over parts of the supplement market. Though resistance is futile, it is nonetheless honorable.
I just saw a commercial for this, but apparently it's been around for years? Lovaza is a patented prescription fish oil supplement. Does anyone know what exactly is different about it, other than it costing more and having better PR?
This sums up my thoughts nicely. http://heartscanblog.blogspot.com/20...a-rip-off.html. It's amazing to me how much healthcare basically is a scam.

It's a move by big pharma to take over parts of the supplement market. Though resistance is futile, it is nonetheless honorable.
It is a truism that almost any sect, cult, or religion will legislate its creeds into law if it acquires the political power to do so, and will follow it by suppressing opposition, subverting all education to seize early the minds of the young, and by killing, locking up, or driving underground all heretics.
Robert A. Heinlein
I've seen the commercials. And yes, they are just trying to get their hands on something that actually works for once and make money from it and they say it's not the same as you can get in a health food store...blah, blah....well, atleast it's a step in the right direction and may actually HELP people for once.

Mike Chappell would love to see Reggie Wayne return but knows the odds aren't great:
ANSWER: I would put the odds of Reggie returning at less than 50-50. I agree it would be a huge boost to Andrew Luck or Robert Griffin III to have a quality receiver. Just not sure that's going to happen. I don't believe Reggie wants to break the bank on what will be his final contract, but he's not going to give a huge discount. I remember asking him about that near the end of the season, whether he might give the Colts a "blue-light special.'' He said, 'I don't shop at Kmart.'' From talking with Jim Irsay, I get the impression the top two priorities are Robert Mathis and Pierre Garcon. I agree with Mathis, but I am not sold of Garcon. He makes great plays, doesn't always make the routine ones. One other reason I hope Reggie returns – he's the best interview in the locker room. Great talker. Genuine.

EL PASO, Texas - Occupy El Paso began an occupation of San Jacinto Plaza in downtown El Paso on Monday, October 17, in solidarity with Occupy Wall Street protests in New York and around the country and with marches of "indignados" across Europe and elsewhere in the world.
A preliminary General Assembly at San Jacinto Plaza (also popularly known as "Plaza de Los Lagartos" because it once included an alligator pool) voted on October 7 to begin an occupation of the city's central Plaza today, Saturday, October 15, in spite of the fact that the Chalk the Block Festival, a popular local artists' fair that typically draws tens of thousands of visitors, is also taking place today at the same location. However, during the past week movement activists met with members of the El Paso City Council who expressed strong sympathy with the goals of the national protest movement and offered an alternative plan. Occupy El Paso was granted a 24-day permit to occupy San Jacinto Plaza day and night beginning Monday, Oct. 17 at noon, overriding normal Plaza closing hours of 10:00 pm to 6;00 am. Occupiers will be allowed to have tents, but will not be permitted to stake them down on the Plaza.
Organizers were looking for generators and other equipment to set up the Occupation site, as well as donors and volunteers in the El Paso area who may be willing to work to meet the food, health and other needs of the occupiers. A professional legal team is already in place, and meetings were held last week to train participants on their legal rights and responsibilities as occupiers as well as on techniques of nonviolent activism. Volunteers are advised to check Occupy El Paso's Facebook page, website, or its Twitter feed at #OccupyElPaso.
At the October 7 meeting a spokesperson for the El Paso Teamsters' Union local proudly announced his union's "110% support" for the Occupy movement at the national and local level. At that meeting proposals to occupy "sensitive" local sites like a broadcasting station or the bridges between El Paso and Ciudad Juárez, Mexico were voted down, but participants also rejected suggestions to hold an occupation at a "safer" but less-frequented public park, or in the "free speech" areas of a local university campus.

Decent Headby Phil - verified purchaser From NH
If you play D like me, I use a lot of poke checks, you go through a new head every 6 to eight months (if playing all year round) because they usually get pretty flimsy by that point, this head only lasted me about four it is not as strong as some of the other top rated defensive heads out there but what it lacks in strength it makes up in for price, replacing this head with the same head won't burn a whole in your pocket i mean it is $30-$40 cheaper than most other quality heads out there. I would suggest this head for really any defender because I have been pleased with it. If you are looking for a little better quality and have the cash to spend as a D-Pole I would suggest the STX X-10 or Excalibur depending on what level you play at.Pros:
Great defensive head, Inexpensive, good throw, good for ground balls, all around it is a good head.Cons:
Not as strong as the STX Excalibur or X10, Losses stiffness after a couple of months if you're a power poke check kind of guy.

NASTY!!!!by Steve - verified purchaser From NY, NY
accurate and durable=great head. i play middie and it's a great investment.Pros:
everything. the pinch is just right, gb pickup is smooth, and for a middie, pole, or even attack, this head'll take so much abuse and still be in great condition. stiff and durable.Cons:
it's a little heavy but totally worth it.
Straight Nastyby Bbot1 - verified purchaser From NJ
The total package for defense...can't waite to use it next year.Pros:
PRICE/stiffness(nasty poke checks)/lack of pinch(easy to catch for defense)/makes a nice pocket with nice hold and throwingCons:
On my kryptolyte it doesn't go all the way on and it is really not a big deal and still works fine probley because of the kung fu grip

"To be honest, I'm happiest when I'm working – the healthiest," she said Tuesday night on The Late Show with David Letterman. (Watch the full interview below.)
"I think this is an opportunity for me to focus on what I love in life. And I don't think it's a bad thing. I think it's a blessing."
Lohan, 26, escaped a jail sentence last month when she reached a plea agreement in a lying-to-police case that calls for three months in a locked-down rehab facility, starting May 2.
Appearing on Letterman to promote the film Scary Movie V and the TV show Anger Management, Lohan got a warm reception from the audience despite a couple of awkward moments when she bristled at Letterman's questions or simply refused to answer them.
When Letterman asked, "How many times have you been in rehab?" The obviously uncomfortable Lohan answered only, "Several."
"And how will this time be different?" he continued. "What are they rehabbing, first of all? What is on their list? What are they going to work on when you walk through the door?"
"We didn't discuss this in the pre-interview," she answered.
But Letterman continued to (lightly) grill her, asking when she was supposed to go to rehab, and who would be taking her.
Looking away, Lohan awkwardly answered, "Jimmy Fallon … and you. And Tina Fey and Lorne Michaels."
But the actress was quick to clarify, "I don't want people to think I'm making a joke about [rehab]. It's not a joking matter."
Seemingly serious for a moment, Letterman praised Lohan, telling her, "We never thought we'd see you again, honestly, because of the jokes and stuff. But yet you have enough spine, enough sense of yourself, enough poise, to come out here and talk to me."
His reaction caused Lohan to briefly tear up – but the moment of seriousness was punctuated with yet another (awkward) joke, as she reached for a mug on his desk and sipped, saying, "Oh, I thought this was going to be vodka. Shucks!"
"You gotta stop drinking," Letterman jokingly chided. "They don't let you drink in rehab."

By Fazeena Saleem
DOHA: One of the world's biggest diamonds will be unveiled at the 10th Doha Jewellery and Watches Exhibition, as international exhibitors would join the annual event for the first time, officials said yesterday.
The diamond will be one among the finest collections of Mouawad family which owns the Mouawad, company that designs, manufacturers and sells exclusive boutique jewellery.
The firm is headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland.
Christie's, one of the world's most famous brands, too, will be exhibiting their expensive collections for the first time at the Doha exhibition.
They will be participating only as exhibitors and their collections will not be available for sale.
Also Matis, well-known for their unique variety of jewellery, will join the regular local and regional exhibitors.
Christie's and Matis are aiming to establish a foothold in the jewellery industry in Qatar.
The biggest exhibition exclusively for watches and jewellery organised by the Qatar Tourism Authority (QTA), is scheduled to be inaugurated by the Prime Minister and Foreign Minister H E Hamad bin Jassem bin Jabor Al Thani.
The event will host 26 exhibitors with more than 500 jewellery and watch brands between February 25 and March 3 at the Doha International Exhibition Centre.
"High-profile exhibitors continued to attract interested and enthusiastic customers from around the region and the world, which has helped made the show one of the most successful in the Gulf and the industry," Issa bin Mohammed Al Mohannadi, Chairman of QTA, told a press conference yesterday.
"Because of this we have extended the exhibition to seven days this year.
"The 10th edition of the exhibition will have special features as one of the biggest diamonds will be unveiled and international exhibitors like Christie's," he added.
The exhibition under the theme 'Pure Luxury' is expecting to receive 15 percent more visitors, including those from neighbouring countries such as Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain, Oman and the UAE this year.
"Over the past decade the exhibition has proved to be a record-beating event and this year is no exception.
"It provides the ideal platform for fruitful and highly productive business for all of its visitors and exhibitors, so they can make the most of this brilliant exposition of some of the world's finest precious stones and timepieces," said Al Mohannadi.
Qatar National Bank will be the sponsor of the exhibition.

Police investigate jogging incidents
Gothenburg police chief Randy Olson encourages residents to be aware of their surroundings after an early-morning incident on July 24.
Olson said a woman jogger reported that a man approached her while she was jogging and exposed himself.
The incident occurred around 7:30 a.m. in the 1800 block of Lake Avenue, he said.
About an half-hour earlier, Cozad police were notified of man who accosted a woman runner in Cozad in the area of 19th and O Streets.
The woman told police that the man approached from behind and made physical contact with his hands.
Officials said she screamed and escaped.
The subject is described as a white male in his 20s, tanned and 5'10", between 170 and 200 pounds, with brown hair and wearing white board shorts, a gray T-shirt with cut-off sleeves and basketball-type shoes. He has a tattoo on his left bicep area.
Olson said runners or walkers should have someone go with them.
"Always take a cell phone and, if listening to music, use only one earphone," he said. "Trust your instincts and always err on the side of caution."
Anyone with information about the incidents is asked to contact the Gothenburg Police Department at 537-3608, the Cozad Police Department at 308-784-2366 or Dawson Gosper Crime Stoppers at 308-784-1234 or 866-652-7383.

Dr. Jack Wittenberg: This was the first hospital admission of a 30-year-old man who complained of abdominal pain of 36 hours' duration. The pain began with a chilly sensation associated with diffuse abdominal discomfort which steadily increased. He had diarrhea for which he took kaolin mixture with pectin (Kaopectate) with minimal relief. On the morning of admission he awoke with increasing pain and was anorectic. By the time he came into the emergency ward, the pain was severe and steady, and had localized to the right of the umbilicus, and radiated into the right flank.
On physical examination, the patient's temperature was 102 F (38.9 C) and his pulse rate was 104 beats per minute. There was muscle spasm in the mid and upper abdomen on the right, with localized abdominal tenderness and rebound tenderness lateral to the umbilicus. Bowel sounds were normal, and no masses were felt. Laboratory examination

This is part 2 of the saga of the disappearing welcome tabs on Facebook Pages, told partly from my perspective as the author of a WordPress plugin people use to manage page tabs, particualrly welcome tabs. I tried to maintain some shred of journalistic objecivity by interviewing developers, designers, and digital strategists who make a good argument for the "goodbye and good riddance" point of view.
Facebook's latest update is causing redesign pain among businesses promoting themselves on the service, but some developers and designers see the upside.

this bedspread was very pretty and looked well made. I returned (4-2-15 via FedEx, it was delivered/received by your return dept on 4-6-15) this bedspread because it did not go with my wall color. Was looking for more of a cream/tan color than the off white.
We were looking for a bedspread, not a duvet. This has been a long, drawn out affair, as the majority of bedspreads are chenille and we wanted something a bit more refined. We love the bedspread. It's more attractive off the page and the stitching is crisp. Fits the bed well, and we appreciate that it is lightweight. We highly recommend it.
I was so tired of the bed skirt and duvet routine. So happy to have this beautiful bedspread and shams Looks great and easier to deal with.
It's exactly as described/pictured. Excellent workmanship. Looks lovely on the bed.
This bedspread was perfect for my guest room and I was not dissapointed. It fits the bed perfectly and the colors and designs along with the shams is beautiful.
This quilt works well in the area that I am using it. It is pretty and well constructed. I am pleased.
No one sells bed spreads at retail stores. And if they did not much choice. I like the bedspread because it has a country style to it. Would have liked it a little heavier material, but still like it.
I love the Spread and Shams my room looks so light and airy. I'm totall happy with the bedspread. I just wish there were curtin to match.
I was having a rough time finding a full sized bedspread for my Mom's M.D. present. She doesn't like comforters. She absolutely loves this spread. The fit and quality are wonderful. It's a beautiful pattern - understated. She loves it and so do I for making her happy!!!! Thanks!
Absolutely beautiful spread- great quality, washes great, however I had to buy a bedskirt and my mattress is not real high. Looks great now.
Very lightweight; perfect for our humid warm climate. Fits bed very well and has beautiful embroidery.
This is a well made & truly beautiful spread.

Top Down Sweaters
By Ann Budd
Gifted by Interweave Press
Reviewed by Melissa Conner
Want to learn to knit your very own sweater? Take it from the top.
In Top Down Sweaters, author Ann Budd teaches knitters how to create beautiful sweaters that are literally worked from the top to the bottom. The great thing about this technique is that it allows you to try on the sweater in progress to check the fit. You'll know if the key components—shoulder width, neck and armhole depths, and body circumference—are right before you invest time in knitting the lower body and sleeves. Top down sweaters also lend themselves beautifully to one-piece construction, my favorite!
Filled with 12 beautiful patterns arranged into 4 sweater types, Top-Down Sweaters is a great go-to guide for intermediate to advanced knitters. Each section contains basic instructions, size information, helpful advice on how to read a gauge, and easy ways to plan out all your measurements before starting on your project.
I couldn't wait to jump right into Top-Down Sweaters. The Quince-Essential Fair Isle sweater has definitely made it on my list of projects to try, and I'm so thankful to Ann Budd for including such helpful information on determining the proper size and gauge.
I also loved the classic design of the Alpine Tweed sweater. This pattern is perfect for the holidays and would also make a great gift for my mom or sister. Looks like it's time to get those knitting needles out of storage!
If you love knitting your own clothes and are looking for ways to simplify the process, take a look at the 12 beautiful sweater patterns in Top-Down Sweaters. With personal design touches, detailed charts, clear instructions, and quick tips for expanding kitting possibilities, this handy book will kick your knitting needles into overdrive!

iPhone 2.1 firmware released
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Apple, Cell Phones, Handhelds, Software
Apple has finally unleashed the iPhone 2.1 firmware to the masses as of an hour or so ago. If you've been running iPhone 2.0 since July, then you've probably been waiting desperately for this firmware release, which is supposed to clear up a ton of bugs and other annoyances about the app-centric iPhone OS. Here's a list of the changes and improvements:
- Decrease in call set-up failures and dropped calls
- Significantly better battery life for most users
- Dramatically reduced time to backup to iTunes
- Improved email reliability, notably fetching email from POP and Exchange accounts
- Faster installation of 3rd party applications
- Fixed bugs causing hangs and crashes for users with lots of third party applications
- Improved performance in text messaging
- Faster loading and searching of contacts
- Improved accuracy of the 3G signal strength display
- Repeat alert up to two additional times for incoming text messages
- Option to wipe data after ten failed passcode attempts
- Genius playlist creation
So, there's a lot of stuff there. Of course, most are concerned primarily with the big fixes. Here's hoping that iPhone 2.1 is the solid OS that the 2.0 release should have been. You can get the update by connecting your iPhone to your computer, firing up iTunes 8 (it's required), and hitting "Check for Update." Good luck!

iPod nano updated, elongated, and nano-chromatic
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Apple, Design, Music, Portable Audio / Video
The worst-kept secret of today's Apple Let's Rock iPod event was the newly updated iPod nano. Apple officially let the cat out of the bag today, sharing all the details. The new iPod nano is taller, and also turns out to be the thinnest iPod ever made. It's available in a record nine colors, and you get two models to choose from - an 8GB version for $149, and a 16GB version for $199. The battery will hook you up with 24 hours of music or 4 hours of video. The nano now has an included accelerometer, which allows it to sense if you are holding it in portrait or landscape mode, so it can then change the screen orientation accordingly. That same accelerometer also gives rise to a new "Shake to Shuffle" feature. It's exactly what it sounds like. If you don't like what you are listening to, shake the nano, and you get a new random track. You can order the new iPod nano now at the online Apple Store, or pick one up at a physical location as they arrive over the next few days.

iPhone firmware 2.1 detailed
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Apple, Cell Phones, Corporate News, Music, Portable Audio / Video, Software
During this morning's Apple event, Steve Jobs let us in on a few of the details of the upcoming iPhone 2.1 software update. In giving the details, Steve also admitted to the faults that have been pointed out consistently since the iPhone 2.0 software launched. What can we look forward to when 2.1 is released this Friday for the iPhone? How does fewer dropped calls, major improvements in battery life, faster backups, and no crashing apps sound? Yeah, we thought so. Now to wait for Friday to see if the promises prove to be true. Fingers crossed!
EDIT: iPhone 2.1 has been released!
iPod touch gets updated, Genius playlists, Nike+ built-in
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Apple, Movies, Music, Portable Audio / Video
Apple is improving the iPod touch with a thinner stainless steel case, hardware volume controls, a built-in speaker, and a Nike+ receiver (you'll need to puchase a Nike+ kit to take advantage of that one.) Battery life is now at 36 hours for music, which translates to around six hours for video. The new Genius feature will be included, alongside the App Store. They've also redone the casing, which is now a thinner stainless steel, and we've even got actual hardware volume control buttons. The new iPod touch is available now - 8GB for $229, 16GB for $299, and 32GB for $399. You can pick on up from the Apple Store Online now.

TiVo HD XL now shipping: 1 terabyte storage, THX certified, $599.99
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: HDTV, Home Entertainment
We knew it was just a matter of time before our friends at TiVo finally released something a little more, robust, to take the place of the discontinued TiVo Series3 DVR. While the TiVo HD is a nice unit, it just wasn't the premium product that the Series3 was. The TiVo HD XL is all about taking that premium spot, and it certainly looks like a worthy replacement. The unit ships with a 1 terabyte hard drive, which means it can record up to 150 hours of HD programming, HDMI cable, along with a premium Series3 backlit TiVo remote. The TiVo HD XL features dual tuners, which lets you record two programs at the same time, and is even THX certified (something that the TiVo HD can't brag about.) The one jarring piece here is the price, as the TiVo HD XL is selling for $599.99. If it's worth it to you, you can order one right now at the TiVo website, or you can wait a few days and check your local retailer. We have the full press release for you after the break.

Let's Rock: Apple event planned for September 9
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Apple, Portable Audio / Video, Rumors
Well, what do you know? Looks like that Apple event that Kevin Rose speculated about a couple of weeks ago is finally official. This morning, Apple sent out notification of their next event, titled "Let's Rock", is set for September 9th. Now, looking at the graphic, we think it is pretty clear that this one is going to be focused on iPods. Apple is notorious for refreshing their portable media player line in September (heck, last September was when the iPod touch was announced) for the whole back-to-school and holiday vibe.
While we expect to see new models across the board, word on the street is that the iPod nano and iPod touch will be the ones to pay attention to this time around. That is, unless, you are like me and have tons of media that you want with you at all times. If that is you, then you are with me in hoping we see something akin to a 250GB iPod classic. Aside from that, though, some surprises would be nice. I know I've been asking for it for years now, and this probably isn't the appropriate place to announce it, but I sure as heck would just love it if Apple would also give us a new Cinema Display. Could happen, right? Yeah, I didn't think so either.
Comcast to cap Internet bandwidth to 250GB per month, starting October 1
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Corporate News, Internet, Movies
Comcast has decided to change its users agreement so that as of Oct. 1, users will only be allowed 250GB per month. This means you can still download about 4 standard def movies per day.
"We know from experience the vast majority of customers we ask to curb usage do so voluntarily," the company said. While they already reserve the right to eliminate those who use too much, now subscribers will be contacted by the company, as if we don't already get enough nasty phone calls and letters.

Gnomedex 8.0: Kris Krug: Making Better Photographs
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Productivity
Kris Krug is here at Gnomedex to talk to us about taking better pictures. He goes into tips:
- Light in the Eyes: You want to try and get light in the eyes.
- Evaluate the Light: Sun? Shade? Incandesent? Halogen? Look around and find highlights, spotlights, and shadows, and then put your subject in good light. Look for reflection and light in the eyes, and if possible, use lamps.
- To shoot in low light: Turn your ISO UP, Increase your aperture (make number lower), decrease your shutter speed, focus manually if autofocus fails you, tinker with manual settings/metering, brace on things (tripod, wall, gear bag)
- Reflections are Yummy: Look for puddles, glass, metal, shiny floors that may have reflections in them, and then take an image of that reflection.
- Focus on a theme: Black and white, portraits, funny faces, laptop stickers, over-exposed. This will give you a goal.
- Learn Your Camera: Isolate the variables like depth of field, shutter speed, aperture, ISO, etc. ALso, Tinker, tweek, shoot a bunch of photos, share them, get feedback, and feel free to change up your style. Share your gear by finding someone you can test out lenses, flashes, etc. with. Last, but certainly not least, set the white balance.
- Take a look at your background: No trees sprouting out of peoples heads, less busy puts more focus on the subject.
- Fill the frame: Hold your hand out, and if your subject isn't bigger than your hand, you are too far away.
- Get High! Swing Low: People look better from above, so stand on things, lay down, get the angle, and change your perspective. This is why people are always taking MySpace photos by holding their phone above themselves.
- Tips for being a good subject: Laugh, smile, have fun. Make eye contact with the camera. Stand in the light.
- Camera buying advice: Lenses are more important than the body. You should spend 2/3 of your camera budget on your lens. Don't fall for megapixels. Look for manual controls. Cameras from Canon, Nikon, and Fuji are great.

Apple grants all MobileMe subscribers a 60-day extension
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Apple, Corporate News, Internet, Software
We know that Apple's MobileMe service has been off to a rocky start, but we are just glad that the company realizes it as well. Since the launch, people have had trouble with syncing, have lost email, and have discovered that this whole "push" thing wasn't really as "pushy" as Apple made it out to be when they gave us a look at the product back at MacWorld.
Originally, Apple gave all subscribers a 30-day extension to compensate for all the issues, as well as a written apology. Since then, things have gotten a little better, but are still in no way seamless. Because of this, Apple has just decided to grant another extension, and this one is twice as long as the original. If you were a MobileMe subscriber as of 12:00 AM PDT on August 19, you get an additional 60 days tacked on to the end of your subscription. Even better, if you were taking a free trial of the service as of that time, you get 60 days added on to your trial. Apparently, Apple doesn't want you to not sign up due to the kinks they are trying to work out. Good for them.
Hit the Read link below for the full details on the extension, and the eligibility requirements around it.

PENNSVILLE TWP. — A 911 call resulted in the arrest of a suicidal Delaware man who was charged with various weapon possession charges, authorities said.
Steven M. Frye, 22, of Dover, called police Tuesday allegedly claiming that he wanted to kill himself, police said.
According to authorities, Frye made the 911 call from the area of Riviera Drive, which was picked up by Delaware State Police because the call was made near the river front.
Pennsville Police were then contacted by Delaware Police and advised that they were speaking to an alleged suicidal male on a cell phone, authorities said.
Pennsville officers then responded to the location of Riviera Drive and Eaton Road where they located a small red Ford Focus with a Delaware registration and license plate, according to police.
Authorities said Frye was the only individual in the car and further investigation revealed Frye was allegedly in possession of a handgun.
Seven police officers from the township police department responded to the scene and learned that Frye was allegedly wanted in Delaware for theft of a weapon, according to police.
Officers blocked off around the vehicle and addressed Frye with strict instructions to put his hands out the window and then to exit the vehicle, police said.
According to authorities, a loaded 9mm semi-automatic handgun was located within the vehicle and was reported stolen property from the state of Delaware.
Frye was then placed in custody and transported to The Memorial Hospital of Salem County where he was cleared psychologically by hospital officials, police said.
According to police, Frye was then processed and committed to the Salem County Correctional Facility where he was lodged in default of $20,000 bail.
Frye was charged with possession of a weapon, possession of a weapon for unlawful purposes, possession of stolen property and fugitive from justice, authorities said.
According to Pennsville Police Chief Allen Cummings, the police department has gotten similar calls in the past from distraught individuals and each situation is handled carefully.
Cummings added that police must make a decision on the safest way to tackle these incidents.
"With the scenario we had in Carneys Point a few weeks ago and this — it just proves there are people out there carrying guns and officers are at risk on a daily basis. We have to approach each and every individual with caution and I commend the officers with how they handled this incident," Cummings said.

Destino: A Dali X Disney Collaboration2013-01-30 1 8 Share Tweet
Salvador Dali, a man well-known for his striking and surreal works of art. Walt Disney, a visionary and dreamer in the world of animation. As such, the pair probably belongs to the list of unexpected collaborators. But as fate would have it, they did, in 1945.
The original production for the animated short film, entitled Destino, began in 1945, and featured the music of Mexican songwriter Armando Dominguez and the performance of Dora Luz.
Unfortunately, roughly a year after Salvador Dali and Disney studio artist John Hench started on doing the storyboards, production has to stop due to the financial pinch that the studio was in during the World War II ear. It was shelved and forgotten until 1999, when Walt Disney's nephew Roy E. Disney stumbled upon the project while working on Fantasia 2000.
Destino premiered on June 2, 2003 at the Annecy International Animated Film Festival in France, to critical reception.

GRAND RAPIDS – The Grand Rapids Griffins will have to wait another day to see who will represent them in the American Hockey League All-Star Classic.
No players were selected for the Canadian all-star team, which was announced Tuesday afternoon. Here's the link for the complete Canadian all-star roster, which includes last year's Griffins captain Darren Haydar.
The 24-man roster for the Planet USA all-stars will be named Wednesday afternoon.
Leading candidates from the Griffins include center Patrick Rissmiller and defenseman Jakub Kindl. Goaltender Daniel Larsson also has a chance, although his numbers have taken a hit in the past two weeks.
Kindl and Larsson both were all-stars last season.
The 2010 AHL All-Star Classic will be Jan. 18-19 in Portland, Maine.
The Griffins didn't hold an official practice Tuesday, one day after their 5-2 loss at Milwaukee, their fourth loss in a row.
Players received medical treatment and worked out, but only a few players took to the ice. Detroit Red Wings goaltending coach Jim Bedard did work with Larsson and Thomas McCollum.

Friday snap!
Good mornin'!
Good grief, I forgot my radio for my walk home today....no Q&R for at least a half hour.
Groovy, Baby, it's almost the weekend!
(IM audible...)
Good time to take up running?
(Get a second one to leave at work for a spare?)
I'm so dang tired. Now I'm having a disagreement with son about the mom/son dance. Good grief. I suggested "Pour some sugar on me" by Def Leppard. He didn't think that was funny! hehehehe!!!!
Gonna have to really hoof it today p6!
LOL!! Nothing like mortifying your son! hahahahaaa!
What did I miss on Q&R?
BTW It's not being reported much but there WAS another bomb threat at Pitt last night. It happened around 8PM. So far local news isn't reporting it, I guess they want to give it any publicity.
Quinn talked about the description of Obama from his publisher in 1991. It described Obama as the first black president of the Harvard Law Revue and gave his place of birth as Kenya.
Morning n'@ everyone!
Sooooo....Quinn did cover the literary publisher's booklet stating "Barry born in Kenya" ( what no manger, star, or wisemen?) AND the summit thingy starts Sunday in Chicago (with some nearby residents already evacuated!) so...who else sees a Chi-Town "diversion" (Reischtag Fire?) sorta happening? I get a very unsettled feeling about the next couple of weeks.
Discussion on Free Republic
That is damning! Typo my fat bottom! BHO was born in Kenya!
Oh Morris claims 52-42 MITTENS!
Good morning all.
In OBX and thought I'd wave hello atcha.
The sound was back this morning! Once at a little before 1 and then a little after 2. Didn't last more than a couple of minutes each time. It wasn't loud enough to pick up on my recorders in the building. Next time I'm going outside with a portable machine!
I hope the BHO/Wright thing has legs! It dang well should!
This BookletGate is beautiful...BHO has either lied about this birthplace or lied to advance his literary career. Which lie is it?
And he has a Social Security number of dead Connecticut resident and sealed college transcripts. Foreign national student aid and scholarship? But nothing to see here...isn't Buh-Rock just the kewlist?
Mornin' HC!
Jim is smoking today! Going to get the podcast so I can catch the bookletgate piece!
Oh am I jealous!!! I love the OBX...have a great vacay!!!
Hey! Welcome back!
What part of OBX? It's all so nice there! Hope I can get back someday.
Quinn reading about it now!
Jim going to talk about bookletgate again!
A totally delusional leftist I know is going off about it on FB and emails calling Breitbart "the dead a$$hole" and other names.
I refuse to acknowledge him because ignoring him really gets under his skin.
KDH, right on the beach.
Let me know if the kite place is still there. It used to have a shakey observation tower nearby.
Didn't BHO check the bio himself?
That's a heckuva fact check error!
Quinn doing an AWESOME job on true Breitbart PamphletGate story. Occam's Razor...indeed.
Sounds like another place we all know and love. Too much easier to just ignore obnoxious jerks.
HAD to jump on here!
Quinn is a riot today! Got to download these onto my mp3 player and listen again! LOL!
Dittos! This was a great one!
Lucky you where are you?
Hey Greg.
What part of OBX?
Thanks. Hope to go back this year.

The line "Let me guess, you have a great personality." was changed in the german dub. He says "Let me guess, your cooking is amazing."

PHILADELPHIA Marcellus Jones, the suspected killer of Beau Zabel, a teaching student from Minnesota who was gunned down for his iPod near the Italian Market nearly six years ago, was indicted Monday on murder charges.
The indictment, issued by a grand jury, means Jones, 35, already serving a life sentence for killing his suspected getaway driver, will stand trial for allegedly shooting Zabel once in the neck as he walked home from his night shift at a Starbucks in June 2008.
Zabel, a teaching fellow enrolled at Drexel, had lived in Philadelphia for only six weeks before he was killed. Jones, according to a December arrest report, showed friends Zabel's iPod shortly after the killing, saying he pulled the trigger because he was angry that he did not get anything more from the robbery.
