Chapter 1 Summary
Granny Blakeslee died three weeks ago. Today, Grandpa Blakeslee comes to the Tweedy house for his usual "early morning snort of whisky" and sends fourteen-year-old Will Tweedy to get his Aunt Loma and his mother. The fifty-nine-year-old grandfather has something to say and he only intends to say it once.
It is July 5, 1906. It is one day after the first Fourth of July celebration held in Cold Sassy, Georgia, since the War Between the States; it is three months after a big earthquake in San Francisco. It is a year after Tweedy's great-grandmother "died for the second and last time" and six months after Tweedy's best friend burned his hand on one of the firecrackers he got for Christmas and died of lockjaw ten days later.
In the three weeks since his wife died, Blakeslee "had sort of drawn inside his own skin." Today Blakeslee stalks through the Tweedy house to get to the corn whiskey he openly stashes here because his wife would not have it in her house. Usually Blakeslee gives Tweedy and his younger, redheaded sister, Mary Toy, a penny candy stick as he passes, but today he simply tells the boy to gather the two women. After hearing the summons, twenty-year-old Loma puts on her black mourning dress and grabs her sleepy baby, Campbell Junior. At the Tweedys', she gives the baby to Queenie, the cook, and hurries to her father.
Tweedy is surprised at how disheveled and unkempt his grandfather looks after just three weeks of living as a widower. He only has one hand, so his wife had always kept him looking neat and tidy. His daughters have offered to help, but he will not let them. Tweedy's mother, like her own mother, is not a fancy dresser like Loma, but she does take off her apron for this impromptu meeting. She sends Tweedy out to gather eggs, but Blakeslee stops the boy, saying he wants Tweedy to hear what he has to say, too. The women wait, "puzzled and uneasy," and their father delivers the speech he obviously rehearsed.
He tells them that he and Mattie Lou had thirty-six good years together and he will never forget her; however, she is gone, just like his hand. (His shirt is knotted just below the elbow of his left arm, as usual.) Blakeslee opens the door, as if he is preparing to escape. Though he will never forget his wife and intends no disrespect, he announces his intent to marry Miss Love Simpson. The girls are stunned. Eventually, Mary Willis respectfully reminds her father that Simpson is young enough to be his daughter. Mary Willis is worried about what people will say. Blakeslee is only worried about not being a burden to his family. Loma cries and says her mother has only been gone three weeks. Blakeslee thunders back at her, saying, "She's dead as she'll ever be, ain't she?"
Chapter 2 Summary
Mary Willis Tweedy starts to hug her father until he glares at her. He quietly pronounces that he is lonely, hugs his daughters, and walks out the door. On the porch, he turns back to explain that he had to choose between hiring a colored woman or taking a wife, and a wife is cheaper. His last pronouncement is a warning for his daughters to be nice to Miss Love—but he glares only at Loma when he says it.
After Blakeslee leaves to go to his store, Mary Willis wails that she will be too embarrassed to "show her face" in town again. Loma is angry that her father is not grieving long enough and intends to tell Miss Love that she ought to be ashamed. Mary Willis says that would be rude, but it would certainly be a good idea if Miss Love knows how stingy their father is. Hoyt Tweedy will not be able to stand up to his father-in-law, nor will Camp Miller, Loma's husband: "Nobody could stand up to their daddy."
The girls are hopeful that no one will hear of this secret engagement, since their father cannot marry for at least a year; perhaps in that time he will reconsider this foolish plan. Mary Willis is usually much more mild-mannered than her sister, who is fourteen years younger. Now Mary Willis throws a small tantrum because she had wanted to ask her father for her mother's piano and the mirror with St. Cecilia painted on it. She felt as if it were indecent to ask for them so soon—at the same time her father was asking someone to be his wife.
Tweedy is amazed at his mother's display of passion. Everyone assumed Miss Love would eventually marry Son Black, as they have been courting for a year. Though he is smart and handsome, Black is foul-mouthed and "meaner'n a snake." The women speculate that Miss Love probably sees herself as being too good to marry a mere farmer and remember that Miss Love was once engaged to a rich rancher who got Miss Love's best friend pregnant and married her.
Neither woman asks Tweedy, but he has always admired the friendly Miss Love; she is a "merry person," like his grandfather. He believes Miss Love, his grandfather's milliner [hatmaker], could "cheer up a man whose wife was short of breath for four years, dying for ten days, and dead for three weeks."
Mary Willis sends Tweedy away to gather eggs so the women can speak plainly. Tweedy knows what his aunt is afraid of and is certain there has been no scandalous behavior at the store or they all would have heard of it by now. Neither Miss Love nor his grandfather is "that kind." Despite that, Tweedy finds it hard to imagine the younger woman needs something from an old man when she already has a suitor her own age who wants to marry her.
Chapter 3 Summary
Will Tweedy does not understand why his mother and aunt are not happy that their father has found a young lady to marry. Though Blakeslee cannot get married for a year, he will no longer have to eat his dinners and suppers at his daughters' houses once he is married. The women will not have to worry about their father living alone. Loma has even said she has no room for him at her house. It is not true and it is ungrateful of her, because her father gave her husband a job and provided the house in which the Millers are living. As a child, Loma was a spoiled, selfish girl, and she has not changed.
Mary Willis could not have said such a thing, since her father owns her house and her husband has worked for Blakeslee (keeping the ledgers and accounts) since he was sixteen years old. She is afraid her father will end up at her house; she is afraid of him because she was not a son and she committed heresy by marrying a Presbyterian (which got her virtually excommunicated from the Baptist church when she was seventeen).
Miss Love has been working in Blakeslee's store for two years, so she must know she is marrying a stingy many who needs help with many things. Miss Love will not be able to maintain a garden or nurse the sick as well as his dead wife, but that is no reason for Blakeslee not to marry her. The fact that Tweedy likes Miss Love does not change his love for his grandmother. He figures that is just how his grandfather feels, so the boy does not understand why the women are so upset.
Loma leaves and his mother scolds Tweedy for not doing his chores. She has a headache and shuts herself in her cool, dark room. "In a kind of furious daze," the boy begins weeding the garden. He vigorously pulls the weeds, pretending they are Miss Love and hoping that getting rid of them will get rid of her so they can "be a normal family again." The worst, for him, is having spent three weeks of summer without doing anything...

Chapter 4 Summary
Grandpa Blakeslee, at fifty-nine, is "lean, strong, straight, and taller than most men." He has all his teeth, only wears glasses to read, and is a Democrat, a Baptist, and a staunch veteran of the Confederate Army. He is more of a fighter than a farmer and is a good shot (despite missing one hand). He conducts himself like a duke or a king and no one crosses him.
Tweedy looks like his grandfather and likes him most for his "flair for practical jokes." One day Tweedy wants to be like his father, but for now his grandfather is more fun. Tweedy regularly helps Blakeslee at the store and has done so since he was very young; however, Tweedy wants to be a farmer but has not told his grandfather about his plans.
The store is a big brick building with "mahogany counters, beveled glass mirrors, and big colored signs"for all kinds of products. Over the entrance is a big sign in fancy red letters outlined in gold: General Merchandise, Mr. E. Rucker Blakeslee, Proprietor. Blakeslee also owns the largest cotton warehouse in north Georgia and a chicken house behind the store. Hoyt Tweedy makes many of the store's buying trips to big cities; Campbell Williams is a lazy worker for whom Blakeslee has no respect.
Miss Love Simpson is the first female Blakeslee ever hired: she is a tall, big-bosomed, plump woman who stands straight and laughs easily. Tweedy met her when he was twelve and was mesmerized by her womanliness. Miss Love speaks quite properly and was trained as a milliner in Baltimore. The company then sent her and her best friend to a large store in Texas. When she was ready to leave Texas, the company sent her to Georgia.
She lived with the Blakeslees when she first arrived and now rents a room from the Crabtrees. She keeps to herself and has no close friends in town. The only thing Cold Sassy knows about Miss Love is what another milliner told Loma. Miss Love's father fought in the Union Army and...

Chapter 5 Summary
Just as Mary Willis feared, everyone in Cold Sassy now wonders whether Grandpa Blakeslee had loved his milliner, Miss Love Simpson, for a long time and is perhaps a bit relieved that his wife, Mattie Lou, is now gone so he can marry her. The two women are nothing alike except that they are "both feisty." Granny Blakeslee never adorned herself in any way, and her grandson Will Tweedy, though he loves her, does not think she was a pretty woman. Her eyes were too far apart, she had big ears, and in the last months of her life, she had a strange growth protruding from her throat; despite that, Tweedy knows his grandfather loved Mattie Lou.
The only thing he has ever held against her is the fact that she did not give him...

Chapter 6 Summary
Everyone in town knew about Granny Blakeslee's stroke, but by afternoon, Tweedy and his father had not heard how Mattie Lou was doing. Hoyt Tweedy sent his son from the store to find out; Tweedy arrived to a quiet house full of people gathered to wait for news about his grandmother's condition. Grandpa Blakeslee had not allowed anyone in to see his wife, not even their daughters; however, the sisters allowed Tweedy into the room.
Granny was sitting propped up by pillows and seemed dead, though Tweedy looked hard and saw that she was still breathing. Tweedy saw Blakeslee tenderly holding his wife's hand before he began to weep in a way Tweedy had never before seen. Because his grandfather would have hated being...

Chapter 7 Summary
Mrs. Avery, a neighbor, told the family not to be too hopeful about Granny Blakeslee's recovery, as she has seen many sick people get miraculously well just before they die. The family did not listen to her, and for the next week, Granny's health improved significantly.
Then one evening, Tweedy was sitting by Granny's bed when she grabbed his arm and, terrified, told him she saw two coats fighting in the corner and a hideous woman, first sitting in her husband's chair and then climbing the wall. The boy was frightened, but no one else was there to help him. Soon Granny drifted into a "perspiring sleep." Tweedy fanned her in an effort to cool her off until she woke again with a look of terror on her face. She...

Chapter 8 Summary
After Blakeslee elopes with Miss Love, people are certain that, though he never looked at Miss Love as anything but his milliner, she "had designs on him" as soon as Mattie Lou had her stroke. On the day Granny died, Miss Love went to the Blakeslees' house and cleaned everything in preparation for the funeral; on the day of the funeral, she washed dishes all day and long into the night—all by lamplight and with water she hauled from the well. When she finally left, Blakeslee said she did too much, but Miss Love reminded him that during her first winter in Cold Sassy when she had the flu, Miss Mattie Lou came and bathed her every morning, as if she were her own mother. Miss Love was now happy to do whatever she...

Chapter 9 Summary
Nothing about Granny's sickness, death, or funeral seems real to Tweedy until they arrive back at the Blakeslees' house, and his grandfather solemnly adds Mattie Lou Toy's name to the list of deaths in the Toy family Bible. The Cold Sassy Weekly writes that Granny's passing was "one of the saddest deaths that has ever grieved the people of Jackson County because Mrs. Blakeslee was so beloved by so many." Though Blakeslee goes back to work the next day (a scandalous act, according to many), Blakeslee no longer jokes or laughs and will not talk about Granny, quickly cutting off any condolences. After dinner at Loma's, Blakeslee goes to the cemetery until very late and then paces his wife's gardens for hours...

Chapter 10 Summary
Because they are in mourning, Tweedy's family misses most of the Fourth of July parade. Back in February, Grandpa Blakeslee thought of having this Southern Independence Day as a kind of joke on the United States of America. He, along with everyone else in Cold Sassy, still carries a serious grudge against the Union; Tweedy understands that, given his grandfather's experience.
When he was fourteen, Blakeslee joined the Southern Army with his father and served for the entire war in the same unit. He enlisted as a drummer boy; however, during one battle when his company was in retreat, he picked up a gun and he was no longer a drummer. One night, Blakeslee and his father were so hungry that his father "roasted a rat...

Chapter 11 Summary
The day Blakeslee elopes, Tweedy hopes his official mourning is over; if his grandfather can go get married, surely he can go fishing rather than weed the garden as he was asked. Tweedy goes to several friends' houses looking for a fishing buddy; none of them is available so he goes with his dog, T.R. (short for Theodore Roosevelt). He does not carry a fishing pole out of respect for Granny, but he has line, sinkers, and bait stuffed into his overall pockets.
He passes the railroad depot and the last of the old sassafras trees called Cold Sassy, nearly a hundred feet tall. He is going to Blind Tillie Creek to fish under the trestle. To get there, he must go through Mill Town. On his way, the train goes by and the...

Chapter 12 Summary
Will Tweedy and his dog take a few steps onto the Blind Tillie Trestle, but then T.R. whines and crawls back to solid ground, begging the boy to come back, too. Tweedy laughs at the dog, the dog tries to get the boy to come play with him, and then Tweedy starts across the trestle. He is barefoot and the rails are hot but not enough to burn; he walks, arms spread out, like a tightrope walker. Soon he passes the sand barrel, which is there in case anyone gets caught on the trestle and has to jump to safety.
When Tweedy is two thirds of the way across, he stops and sits down on one of the cross ties. He considers leaving a penny on the tracks for the train to flatten but decides against it. From his vantage point on the...

Chapter 13 Summary
The girl on the trestle is Lightfoot McLendon. When she gets to him, they are both crying and the dog is licking both their faces. She tries to help him and walk to safety, but they both nearly fall off the trestle and Tweedy says he cannot make it. Tweedy looks up to see all the passengers hopping off the stopped train.
The children both manage to crawl on all fours off the trestle. When they finally reach land, everyone cheers. The engineer grabs Tweedy and hugs him as if he were his own son; it is the same engineer who had waved to him in town earlier. The dog, however, is still on the trestle and too frightened to walk to safety on his own. Tweedy asks if someone will help T.R off the trestle, but suddenly the...

Chapter 14 Summary
Eight years have passed and July 5, 1906, seems hazy to Will Tweedy. He remembers worrying about not thanking Lightfoot or telling her goodbye.
The people of Cold Sassy wonder why Tweedy is being proclaimed a hero by the people on the train until the engineer announces that the boy was run over by a train on the trestle and is here to tell about it. Though he likes being the center of such attention, Tweedy is still shaking, about to vomit and cry, and would rather just be home. Loomis tries to push through the crowd and get the boy home; Mr. Beach takes Tweedy home in his buggy. It is not very far, but Tweedy is not certain he can walk even a short distance and does not want Loomis to have to carry him "like a sick...

Chapter 15 Summary
Though his grandfather does not come to see him, the Methodist preacher visits Tweedy and reminds him that John Wesley was saved from a fire as a boy and later started the Methodist church. Tweedy has obviously been spared from death and the Lord may have plans for him, too, such as preaching the gospel. Cousin Hopewell Stump and his wife, Agnes, recount the story of a little girl, Beulah Samples. She was in a tornado in which hailstones as "big as teacups" and weighing as much as a pound fell before the bridge she was sheltering under was blown from right above her. She survived without any harm, and when she was seventeen, she was called by God to go to China as a missionary. Two months after she got there, the girl died of...

Chapter 16 Summary
Tweedy finds out later that his grandfather and Miss Love came to his house the night of his train experience because someone told Blakeslee about the incident, but that night he acts as if he really is arriving at a party in honor of his wedding, as if it were a common occurrence for a man to marry "a new young wife before his old one is cold in the grave." Mary Willis turns white and Aunt Loma flounces out of the room. All the men in the room stand, as they should when a lady enters, but no one is sure what to do then. Even Miss Love looks rather flustered at being the center of attention, but Blakeslee is excited as he has not been since Mattie Lou got sick. He immediately announces what everyone already knows, that he and...

Chapter 17 Summary
The night after his train incident, Tweedy has a nightmare. Lightfoot is standing in the middle of Blind Tillie Trestle and calls to him. As she tells him not to be "skeerdy," she drops her blouse and skirt. Tweedy is mesmerized and then horrified as he watches the train come from behind her and Lightfoot "explodes into a thousand pieces."
Tweedy has another nightmare that night. He is on the trestle again; a train is behind him, but he is running faster than the train. Suddenly Loma is in front of him, demanding that he call her "Aunt Loma." He refuses and she gets bigger and bigger, blocking his way. Tweedy is caught between the train and Loma when he remembers Loma's twelfth birthday. At that time, the...

Chapter 18 Summary
Tweedy does not remember his promise to meet Lightfoot and help her pick berries the morning after the train incident. It is true that he was busy, but he knows he should have remembered. He talks to the reporter for the Atlanta paper and then visitors arrive. Son Black, an oily, surly kind of man who had been courting Miss Love, drives by looking for Blakeslee. After the reporter leaves, Tweedy remembers he wanted to tell the reporter about Lightfoot and Loomis helping to save him, but, shamefully, Tweedy is secretly glad he did not have to reveal any kind of interest in a mill girl.
Aunt Loma spends most of the morning at the Tweedy house, grumbling that she will "get even" with Miss Love even if it takes her...

Chapter 19 Summary
Grandpa Blakeslee cannot quit admiring himself in the mirror, and Miss Love is so excited she hugs him. The gesture clearly surprises Blakeslee, but he is pleased. After he puts on a clean shirt (something he does only twice a week, and today is not his usual day to change), Blakeslee thanks her, something which he rarely ever does. Tweedy says if his grandfather walks into the store "kind of sideways," no one will even recognize him.
After Blakeslee walks jauntily back to work, Miss Love looks carefully at Tweedy and says he looks a lot like his grandfather, something his grandmother had always told him. The boy looks at himself in the mirror and sees the resemblance. Miss Love asks him to bring some empty boxes to...

Chapter 20 Summary
Tweedy stammers an apology for his question and Miss Love says nothing for a while; then she talks. She has always wanted a family as she has no living relatives besides a drunken father she pretends never existed. Miss Love understands why people are upset with her, but she does not know how to apologize. Though she does not like being gossiped about or disliked, she also hates that she has embarrassed the family. Blakeslee told her not to feed it and the talk will die down. Because Tweedy cares enough to ask, she tells him how she came to marry Blakeslee.
Last week after the parade, she was finishing a hat at the store when Blakeslee bluntly asked if she would marry him; it would be in name only, as he needs a...

Chapter 21 Summary
The man outside with the saddle does not look like the cowboys Tweedy has seen in pictures: he is clean; is not wearing spurs, chaps, or a bandanna around his neck; and is not carrying a lasso. Despite his expensive black suit, he is a cowboy because he is wearing boots; a big, white felt hat; and a holster with a pistol on his hip. (Cold Sassy men wear their holsters across their chests, under their shirts.) The ornate saddle he carries is as impressive as the tall man. The stranger pauses and squints hard at Tweedy's grandfather's house but keeps walking.
Tweedy goes quickly to the porch to get a closer look and calls Miss Love to come look, as well. Miss Love immediately turns white and is distressed, telling...

Chapter 22 Summary
Tweedy finds out later that old Mr. Boop is the one who ran to the store to tell Blakeslee about the stranger. Boop comes into the store and asks for Blakeslee; he does not even recognize Blakeslee when he sees him, now that his beard is gone and his mustache is trimmed. Boop explains about the slick stranger coming to town and getting a shave and a bath before asking where Miss Love Simpson lives and carrying a fancy saddle to Blakeslee's house. He thinks Blakeslee should know that a "tool-leather saddle orny-mented with Mexican silver is headin' up North Main" to his house. Blakeslee does not respond as Boop thought he would; he was hoping to see some kind of a fight.
Perhaps Blakeslee is not in the fighting...

Chapter 23 Summary
Miss Love is stunned at Blakeslee's offer of an annulment, but after several moments of silence, she announces that she would not marry Clayton McAllister even if she were not already married. Now she is afraid that Blakeslee was trying to say that he wanted an annulment and starts to cry, but he assures her that he wants no such thing. The matter is now ended. They ponder the saddle, and Miss Love wants Blakeslee to send it back to McAllister, but he is afraid Miss Effie Belle's neck might break with all the back-and-forth that might cause. He tells Miss Love she will just have to hang it up somewhere.
Then he remembers a letter he got from Cousin Jake before Mattie Lou died. He raises thoroughbred...

Chapter 24 Summary
At dinner that night, Hoyt Tweedy tells his wife that her father wants Tweedy to go pick up a racehorse from Cousin Jake and thinks Tweedy should go on a camping trip for a few days first. Mary Willis is concerned about what people will think about such a thing while they are in mourning; he assures her it will be a good thing for the boy to do after his near-death train experience. In turn, Tweedy tries to convince her to go to New York on the buying trip.
Mary Willis is appalled that Miss Love has shamed the family by accepting a silver saddle from a man who has a "reputation so bad it rides in front of him." Tweedy tries to explain that the man was merely bringing Miss Love what is hers, but Tweedy soon diverts...

Tweedy and his friend Pink ride in the mail buggy driven by Mr. Lias, followed by Tweedy's dog, as they ride out of Cold Sassy and toward Grandpa Tweedy's house. On the way, all Tweedy can think about is his friend Bluford Jackson. He and Tweedy had been planning a camping trip the day they were throwing firecrackers, the same day Bluford got the burn that gave him lockjaw and eventually killed him. It should have been Bluford on this trip rather than Pink. Tweedy also thinks of Lightfoot McLendon, ashamed at not trying to contact her since the train incident.
Lias asks how the town has accepted Blakeslee's getting remarried, for Lias has been thinking about how his own first wife ruined his life. As soon as he...

Chapter 26 Summary
Tweedy takes four friends with him to camp in the mountains: Pink, Lee Roy, Smiley, and Dunson McCall. One of the boys makes fun of Miss Love as they are driving out of town, and Tweedy tells all of the boys to quit talking about what is not their business or they can stay home. After that, Tweedy forgets about Blakeslee and his new wife, and the boys have a grand time.
They travel thirty miles the first day, eating all the food their mothers had packed in baskets for them. The next day, they stop and set up their camp, supplied with plenty of staples but hoping to eat the wild game or fish they catch. That night, two big black bears break into the grub box and have a fine meal; Tweedy is just glad he grabbed the mules...

As the boys arrive home from their camping trip, Tweedy sternly warns them not to tell anyone his stories about Aunt Loma and, trying to sound casual, adds that they should not tell anyone about Miss Love sleeping in a separate bedroom, either. If they do, Tweedy will "catch heck" and he will make up an awful story about them. They promise. Tweedy believes them as they unhitch the mules, as they show off the new horse at his house, and even as they take the horse to Miss Love, who promptly names it Mr. Beautiful because she admires it so. He believes it until he sits down to dinner that night and has a bad feeling that everything he told the boys is probably being repeated at dinner tables all over town.

Sunday night, Tweedy is tired after walking back from Grandpa Tweedy's and from his camping trip, but his mother is furious that her father and Miss Love were singing blasphemous songs loud enough for the neighbors to hear. She calls Miss Love "common," but Tweedy defends her by saying she and grandfather had a church service before they started playing and singing dance hall tunes. Mary Willis tells her son about the commotion at the store this week between Miss Love and Pink's mother, Mrs. Predmore, hoping he will discontinue his loyalty to a woman she so despises.

Chapter 29 Summary
Tweedy agrees with his mother that Miss Love should not "pick a fuss in public." It is not ladylike and it embarrasses the entire family. Tweedy wonders if he could have prevented the outburst by spreading the information about the true state of her marriage right after Miss Love confided in him; if he had, Blakeslee's daughters might not have felt as if Miss Love was a threat to their inheritance. If so, he had certainly let Miss Love down by not talking.
Miss Love has declared war on Cold Sassy, and Tweedy finds himself right in the middle; he wants to be her friend and really likes her, but he is not happy taking sides against his mother and the rest of the family. Hoyt Tweedy is right: "the family will just...

The next morning, Tweedy is with Miss Love and already has decided what excuse he will make if she starts to "pick a fuss" with him as she has with everyone else lately. He does not have to use it because Miss Love is "just as nice as you please."
When he makes a comment about Queenie liking to drink her lemonade from a Mason jar, Miss Love explains that is because white people do not want black people to use the same eating utensils they do. Tweedy is appalled, as this is just the custom in Cold Sassy and Miss Love, being almost a Yankee woman, does not understand. Before he can change the subject, Miss Love continues, but Tweedy insists Queenie prefers to eat out of a pie tin as it holds more than a plate. He...

Tweedy decides to visit Aunt Loma to apologize for the stories he told about her; he is not sorry but will enjoy hearing her "fuss and fume." She likes to tell people what a bad boy he is, and just because she has not yet scolded him for the stories does not mean she has not heard them. Lately Loma has spent a good portion of her energy berating Miss Love.
Today Loma is "the maddest white woman" he has ever seen. The first thing she says to Tweedy is that she is so mad she could die, but it is her husband she is mad at, not him. She shows Tweedy the mantelpiece in the parlor, which is gleaming with a new coat of white enamel paint; it looks nice to him until she shows him that Campbell painted around everything...

At the dinner table that night, Mary Willis changes her mind and is ecstatic at the idea of going to New York City, gossip or not. Her husband is thrilled also. Mary Willis wants to ask Miss Love to make her a new black hat for the trip.
Mary Willis hardly sleeps, thinking of everything she must get done before she leaves. Blakeslee comes by for his morning shot of corn whiskey and announces that since Mary Willis will not go to New York with her husband, he will go on the buying trip and take Miss Love, who is certain she can help buy some fashionable things for the store. Mary Willis does not say one word; she just stares at him for a moment and then goes upstairs.

Chapter 33 Summary
Blakeslee asks Loomis to preach at his home church service. The Flournoys attend (probably because they like to sing and could not bear the torturous way Miss Effie Belle plays the piano).
The town is appalled at the apostasy of a Negro preaching, but Loomis is an accomplished public speaker. Every year, the Negro church makes money by putting on a show for white folks. After some singing, Loomis preaches, the Negros sing some spirituals, and then several men engage in a debate. But that is much different than preaching a Sunday sermon in a white person's parlor.
The Flournoys later tell everyone that Loomis scolded the Blakeslees for this and urged them to go back to real church. Tweedy would much rather...

When the Tweedy family get home from their after-church drive, Hoyt Tweedy takes Queenie for a drive around the block, and Tweedy attempts to clear out the barn so it can be used as a garage. He does not get very far, however, since people keep coming by to see the car. The boy's friends are particularly impressed and want to know what every knob is for and ask questions about everything imaginable. Some visitors are jealous, but that is the price to pay for having the first car in Cold Sassy.
Jealousies calm the next week when Hoyt Tweedy and his son have practiced driving enough to take passengers for rides. Aunt Loma and her family are first, then Aunt Carrie. Tweedy is allowed, by himself, to drive his friend Pink...

All Cold Sassy can think or talk about is the Tweedys' new car until Miss Love's postcards from New York begin to arrive. She sends one to every woman and schoolgirl in town, telling each one what she is buying especially for them in New York.
The women are flattered and impressed, waiting anxiously for Miss Love to return and their items to be shipped to Georgia. Mary Willis is getting a new black coat and Mary Toy is getting a surprise; Mary Willis and Loma grudgingly admire the tactic, but Hoyt Tweedy thinks it is a stroke of marketing genius.

As Miss Alice Ann raves, Tweedy is dumbfounded. Lightfoot disappears. Tweedy cranks up the Cadillac and Miss Ann disappears too—probably to spread the news in town.
Tweedy feels sick. Although he is "scareder and more ashamed" than he has ever been, he wants to remember how he "lost his senses" while kissing Lightfoot. He hates thinking about how people will talk about him, not understanding that he was just trying to comfort Lightfoot. Now he knows how Miss Love feels and decides to tell his mother before she hears it from someone else.
Although this saves his pride, it does not diminish his punishment. In addition to a whipping, he is banned from driving the car for two months. Tweedy finally has...

Chapter 37 Summary
Grandpa Blakeslee demands that Queenie share her coconut cake recipe with Miss Love, but Mary Willis icily says that it is Mattie Lou's recipe; if Miss Love wants it, she can find it in an old brown shoebox in the pantry—if she has not thrown out the box. Tweedy can see that Miss Love does not remember any brown shoe box.
Blakeslee is now smoking a cigar rather than chewing plug tobacco because Miss Love thinks it is more modern, plus he does not have to spit. Tweedy can see that something has changed between Blakeslee and his bride, and Mary Willis notices it, too.
Blakeslee insists that Tweedy drive them home, and Hoyt Tweedy reluctantly agrees (without saying anything about the punishment). As soon as...

Chapter 38 Summary
Grandpa Blakeslee has big plans for selling his automobiles, but Tweedy is sure most of them come from Miss Love. She even seems to have determined who will buy which vehicle, and Tweedy wonders how she manages to lead his strong-willed, business-savvy grandfather any way she wants.
He finds out how one night when she asks Blakeslee to build a new outhouse closer to the house. He flatly refuses, saying it will stink. But she tells him that she has read about some chemicals that will eliminate the problem. Now Blakeslee shouts that he has worries enough about the automobile he bought without having to worry about an indoor bathroom, which is the next thing she will probably want.
Miss Love's "dander goes...

Chapter 39 Summary
A huge crowd has gathered at the train depot, eagerly awaiting the arrival of Blakeslee's surprise—everyone is there except for Blakeslee and Miss Love. Tweedy looks anxiously for them and finally sees his disgruntled grandfather. He is alone and he is not wearing his new suit.
He privately tells Tweedy that he thought the clothes were too fancy, and Miss Love was up all night worrying that the town would assume she talked Blakeslee into buying the car. Blakeslee greets everyone with a smile, but he is not happy. Miss Love plans to walk to the store with the crowd, and Tweedy suspects that is a good choice. The town would talk if it saw her "perched high and mighty" in a shiny new car.
The train...

Chapter 40 Summary
By the end of the week, Blakeslee decides the cars can no longer sit in front of the store, as few can refrain from fiddling with the controls or jumping on the seats. But every time he gets an audience, he promotes the marvel of traveling by car. Tweedy and his father do their part by giving driving lessons.
Miss Love causes a stir when she wears her duster and veil and sits in the store window as a mannequin. It is "a sight to behold." The tactic works, and both cars and dust veils are sold.
In September, Tweedy drives the Blakeslees to the county fair. They have a good time, and on the way home Blakeslee rides in the back seat with his wife. Something in their relationship is changing.
(The entire section is 485 words.)
Chapter 41 Summary
Tweedy decides against putting grits in the radiator and manages to nurse the automobile into Cushie Springs. A mechanic will come tomorrow to repair the car, and Tweedy's parents know he will be home tomorrow.
The Jamisons graciously invite the three travelers to spend the night at their farmhouse, a prospect that makes Blakeslee happy but Miss Love nervous. Mrs. Jamison gives them a double bed in a bedroom and a cot in a connecting sewing room. Despite Blakeslee's begging, he does not get his way: he and Tweedy share the bed and Miss Love takes the cot. Tweedy's head is right next to the wall separating the two rooms, and he can hear every sound in Miss Love's room.
Tweedy wakes abruptly when he...
(The entire section is 510 words.)
Chapter 42 Summary
Since what Tweedy calls "That Night," Miss Love does a lot of riding and speaks very little. Although Blakeslee still jokes and tells stories at the store, he looks older and more unkempt, and his "mean streak" shows more clearly.
Blakeslee gets sick, coughing and believing it is a recurrence of a lung disease he had during the war. He claims it is quite contagious and refuses to let anyone but Miss Love near him. Everyone is worried, but Miss Love tells Mary Willis that although Blakeslee coughs and groans a lot, he eats well. Miss Love finds it puzzling, but Tweedy is pretty sure his grandfather has taken his own advice. He told Tweedy once, "When you don't know which way to turn, son, try something....

Chapter 43 Summary
Uncle Camp escapes from his wife when she is in Athens visiting her college roommate. She does not want to go, but he tells her that if she does not leave, he will not fix the faucet in the bathtub because she is always standing over him and "watchin' him fail." Campbell goes to work at the store as always.
Later, Hoyt Tweedy will say that Campbell actually applied himself at his work in the store that Saturday and seemed almost happy for once. Campbell and Hoyt Tweedy leave the store at the same time for dinner, and Campbell asks his brother-in-law if he would stop by his house before going back to the store to check his work on the faucet.
Grudgingly, Tweedy and his father stop by Campbell's house...
(The entire section is 503 words.)
Chapter 44 Summary
The Tweedys, along with nearly everyone else in town, gather to meet Aunt Loma at the depot; most are there to show their sympathy for Campbell's taking his own life and going to Hell, without hope of forgiveness or a reunion with his wife and son in Heaven. Cold Sassy assumes the burial will be quick and private, but Blakeslee brings Campbell home to lie in state.
As the casket arrives, the neighbors already have gathered at Loma's house and are shocked that Campbell's body is being treated like a regular corpse, as if he had not committed suicide.
Blakeslee takes charge and prepares the closed casket and room for viewing since the rest of the family is upstairs with Loma, who is still in shock....
(The entire section is 513 words.)
Chapter 45 Summary
Although there is room in their house and Miss Love makes the offer, Blakeslee tells Loma he is too old to help raise a child. Tweedy does not understand why Loma cannot live in her own house; his mother explains that a pretty twenty-one-year-old woman should not live alone. Tweedy knows Blakeslee will quickly rent out her house and use the money to pay for Loma's upkeep.
Loma is thrilled to live with the Tweedys because now she has Queenie to be her maid, too. Soon things settle down and life is much easier for Loma but not for Tweedy. He is kept so busy that he never gets to do the things he would like to do.
Loma mostly stays in Tweedy's former room and writes poems and plays until she gets restless...

Chapter 46 Summary
On his fifteenth birthday, Tweedy shaves for the first time. During recess, his friends give him fifteen licks and then rub dirt on his face after school. Tweedy figures his friends are jealous because he is the first among them to shave.
On his way to the store after school, someone calls to him from behind a bush. It is Lightfoot McLendon, and she asks him if he can talk for a minute.
Tweedy ducks behind the bush with her and is pleased to see that Lightfoot looks much better than when he saw her last. He does not quite know what to say to her, so he asks her, several times, how she has been. She has heard he drives his grandfather's car and that prompts Tweedy to stumble through an apology about what...

Chapter 47 Summary
As Blakeslee is locking up on Friday night, a man puts a revolver to Blakeslee's head and demands that he reopen the store to do a little more business. There are two robbers. Although they have dirty white scarves over their faces, Blakeslee recognizes them immediately as the men who came into the store this morning posing as cotton buyers.
There is no money in the cash register and Blakeslee claims he is cash-poor because the store is not doing very well. The men do not believe him and tie him to a chair out of sight of the store window.
Next they demand the combination to the safe. Blakeslee refuses to give it, insisting that there is no money in it; but eventually he is forced to open it and it is as...

Chapter 48 Summary
The switchboard operator got back to the phone in time to hear the fight and sent the police and doctor to Blakeslee's store. He was bloody and battered when they arrived, and they could not reach Miss Love because she did not have a telephone. Instead they called Hoyt Tweedy.
Miss Love was getting worried when she suddenly heard Mr. Birdsong's hearse (which doubles as an ambulance) pull into her yard. She did not know whether her husband was dead or alive, and Tweedy will never forget the worry he saw on her face when Blakeslee was carried into the house. Blakeslee just smiled weakly at her and told her he got outsmarted.
The next night, Saturday night, Blakeslee wants to know if the robbers have been...

Chapter 49 Summary
The doctor scolds Blakeslee for not breathing deeply enough, even though it hurts, and pronounces that Blakeslee has pneumonia. Blakeslee is a strong man, so he will "pull th'ew all right."
Miss Love is afraid she has not taken good enough care of her husband, but the doctor assures her that pneumonia just "comes on with a bang and has to run its course." No one will know the outcome until the crisis hits. Blakeslee's fever is already high and going to get worse, so the doctor tells Miss Love to get Mary Willis and Loma here to help nurse their father. Hoyt Tweedy insists that Tweedy stay there too since the Blakeslees do not have a phone.
Blakeslee raves in his fever. He thinks Mattie Lou is...

Chapter 50 Summary
Miss Love finally emerges from the bedroom, looking like stone, and tells Tweedy he should go tell his family and they will call the doctor. Tweedy does not have to say a word and Hoyt Tweedy knows. He sends his son up to put on a suit out of respect and then the family drives to the store.
Blakeslee told Hoyt Tweedy a month ago that if anything ever happened to him, Hoyt Tweedy is to retrieve the sealed letter from the safe before his body is cold and not to let anyone move it until the letter has been read to the family.
Miss Love has made her husband look as natural as possible, and both Tweedy and his father have trouble holding back their emotions, but Hoyt Tweedy reads Blakeslee's letter. He reminds...

Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Wendy, I think that is a very good idea.... think I will try doing that also...
At least you finished it and it is lovely. I agree about leaving it in the car. For sure, leave in trunk when not in use. It is beautiful and you learned a lot. We all admire you. Hurray for one more UFO off your list.
She who dies with the most fabric, didn't sew fast enough!
so many ufos finished already. I have just made the mystery train ride top which needs to be sandwiched and quilted and I intend to finish fmqing my Christmas Wall hanging which has been "on the go" for 3 years so that is my aim for this month's ufo
Yayyyyy, I'm getting to post my second finish for this month!!! A real rarity for me. This was already a flimsy so all I had to do was the backing, layering, quilting and binding. I'm thrilled to post a finished quilt: Seasonal Greens made for my DGS. The pattern is Scattered D9P, I started it early in Dec. 2011. Put it aside, worked on it again off and on thru 2012, put it aside, and now it is finished!!! Woohooooo!!
Linda Wedge White
I believe UFOs are like scraps, ferns and dust bunnies. Once you get two, they send spores out into the air and more just happen anywhere the spores meet.
Finished! Finished! Finished!
"I don't buy vintage quilts. By the time I finish the quilts I've started they've already become antiques." ~ Mark Lipinski
Link to my albums: http://www.quiltingboard.com/members...85-albums.html
Very nice Linda! It has an artistic organic feel.
Anna Quilts
really nice very masculine, what is scattered d9p?
This is great for very scrappy, which mine pretty much is. The only thing I kept consistent is that I used the same fabric for the center square in all the 9P. That is the pale gray that you see throughout the quilt.
Smiles and hugggggggggggs,

Meryl and Charlie were gorgeous. They do need to get higher levels on those step sequences though and fast...before the GPF. Last year they got level 4s on EVERYTHING and thats what they need. The last minute of that program is just beautiful though. all those lifts that go so well with the music and the story. Charlie seemed to show a little more passion and emotion at SA...I would like to see him maintain that level of performance.
Have to say, side by side, I love Notre Dame more than Carmen right now, but might change my mind by worlds.
First thing I want to say about this FD: 96 for I/K has been just disgusting!! Considering the scores that B/S and C/L received it was aburde: almost 51 for the PCS! It's maybe my problem, but there's nothing I like in their FD after the first 30 second... I just can't get why they receive so high scores... They are Morozov skaters?
Then that I'm happy for the Shibs, they deserved the silver medal! I like this program but maybe I expected too much from them, so I can't fully appreciate it...
And I liked D/W a lot more than at SA, but my favourite FD of the season remains V/M's Carmen!
From Ice Network:So sorry for Elena. Glad she managed to do the dance and well. FWIW, I do think Elena and Nikita do perform the heck out of that FD, so I think that does help them get a boost in the PCS.
Ilinykh and Katsalapov's routine to music from The Ghost featured Level 4 twizzles and lifts and a Level 4 spin, while the footwork earned a Level 2 and 3.
The reigning European bronze medalists achieved a new season's best as well with 95.66 points and moved up one spot to second, finishing with 156.62 points.
"Today was a tough day. Lena suffered from a kind of (food) poisoning. I found out about it just shortly before we skated," Katsalapov revealed. "It was a shock for the whole team, and everybody tried to help her, and me, too."
D/W did peak at Worlds in 2011 when they won.
A pattern is a pattern until it breaks. I think in fact D/W are in a great position -- they still have some work to do on the tech, but I think they have a key opportunity to work on the PCS side more as well. We'll see!

Crosslake author Holst releases ninth book
Continuing with his tradition of releasing a new book each year, Crosslake author Mike Holst is especially proud of this year's release, his ninth published book.
The book, "Coming Home at Last," takes place in Boston and the South Pacific. It's a clever and intriguing story of Devon Harrington, a young college professor who gets caught up in an espionage plot with an old Navy buddy. Then, lost at sea for weeks, Devon is rescued but barely survives and is nursed back to health by Annie, his rescuer.
His life from that day on takes many twists and turns, as he is torn between his love for his wife back home and his love for Annie. The whole story gets more complicated when Devon finds out he is wanted for his bad deeds by the government and is technically a man without a country.
The book is available in soft cover or e-file at Barnes & Noble, Amazon or from the iuniverse bookstore.
Signed copies are for sale at Reeds Market in Crosslake or by contacting the author at www.mikeholstbooks.com.

The title of a solo exhibition held in Brisbane in early 2007, 'a complicated fall', refers to the comment by the state coroner, who referred to Mulrundji Doomagee's death on Palm Island as being caused by 'a complicated fall'. This was a surprising finding considering the physical damage ['four broken ribs, a ruptured spleen and a liver almost split in half'] that the man had suffered during his ordeal in the Palm Island jail. 'A complicated fall' could also refer to a fall from grace, a fall of government, etc. Other works in the exhibition referred more specifically to recent events on Palm Island and or used familiar motifs within my body of work (e.g. shells, ribs, plants and maps). While I was making many of the works in this exhibition I was listening to ABC Radio National. At this time there were many news updates about events on Palm Island. Part of my response to this was an internal grieving that I was aware of when I was pushing and scrubbing the raw pigments into the canvas.
Blue is the colour of memory and associated with water, washing over me. Waanyi people are known as 'running water people' because of the inherent quality of the water in their country. The deep blues of the background of the canvas are made by scrubbing the intense Prussian (dark) blue and ultramarine (purplish) blue pigments onto the material using a stiff brush.
The white circular forms are constellation-like, pin points of light that suggest movement and shifting focal points within the image. I first used these round forms in 1993, during an artists camp in Norway in a glacial valley where I played with points of light on a rock using a mirror. Then I made an installation of glacial mud nests within an ampitheatre of rocks. For the Venice Biennale in 1997 they morphed into bronze stones. They often appear as points of light or dark within other works on canvas.
The white outline at the top of the canvas is suggestive of a stingray. When I visited Palm Island in the mid 1980s I remember wading through shallow water around a bay in which there were masses of stingrays. It was an unnerving experience: hoping they would swim by you without stinging you with their tail. As Tony Albert from Queensland Art Gallery has noted, since Steve Irwin's death from a large stingray barb through the heart, an image of a stingray will carry other memories.
The shape at the bottom of the form is a map of the main island of the Palm group (or cluster of islands). It has the major roads marked on it but the white dotted shapes along the edge suggest the sparkling of light on the water and beaches fringing its coastline. Physically it is a paradise but it carries a heavy history.

Hi, I have some questions about the landing and the jumps, would you please enlighten me?
1) What makes some landing look raw, I mean lots if ice dust in the landing. The speed? The height? Or the technique? I have noticed, some good jumpers slo have rough landing now and then. Even though they land it alright, there are lots of ice dust when they land. Does that mean that is not a good jump?
2) Usually which jump is the highest, just saying all of them are triple, the axel?
3) Landing that brings lots of ice dust have bad affects to the knees, doesn't it?

I'm sorry if this has been brought up before, but I am looking for a decent item/items to use for a jet pack (ESB). I thought about using an old back pack and taking it apart, however, since I have no sewing skills, I am now left in a quandry.
Would any one happen to have an older harness they are not using or can give me some instructions as to how to go about making said harness for relatively cheap?
I am sorry that I didn't search the boards completely. This part of the project has left me a bit frazzled.
Thank you in advance for your help and advice.

Lincoln University to help displaced RR Donnelley workers
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. - Lincoln University announced Thursday it will waive application fees to the school for displaced RR Donnelley workers.
On Aug. 1, the company announced it would close its Jefferson City facility, leaving around 500 employees without jobs.
University president Dr. Kevin Rome says the school will waive the $20 fee to apply for the fall 2013 and spring 2014 semesters. The school's fall semester does not begin until Mon., Aug. 26. and the waiver applies for RR Donnelley employees and their dependents.
"It is important that each organization within this community find a way to be of assistance to these families during this difficult time," said Dr. Rome in a statement. "Lincoln University welcomes the employees of RR Donnelley as they look to begin a new chapter in their lives."
Lincoln says it will also provide financial aid guidance to anyone needing monetary assistance.
"We want the workers of RR Donnelley to understand that the door is always open," said Dr. Rome.
RR Donnelley employees can find more information on the Lincoln University website.

Crosslake City Council terminates planning/zoning employees
At a packed-house meeting Tuesday night, Sept. 24, the Crosslake City Council terminated the city's planning and zoning staff and agreed to contract services from Crow Wing County.
The decision passed 4-1, with council member Steve Roe against the measure.
Around 60-70 people attended the meeting, which at times was loud and emotional.
Council members Gary Heacox and Mark Wessels were appointed to a committee in June to explore ways to implement recommendations set forth by the county in an assessment it performed of the city's planning and zoning department.
It was announced Thursday, Sept. 19, that the county, at the request of Heacox and Wessels, prepared a proposal to provide planning and zoning services for the city, and that the county would decide whether or not to approve the proposal at its Tuesday, Sept. 24, county board meeting. The county approved the proposal and it went before the Crosslake City Council that night.
Contract city administrator Dan Vogt told the council Tuesday night, Sept. 24, that questions were raised as to whether or not Wessels and Heacox were authorized to request that the county prepare a proposal for services. Mayor Darrell Schneider then proposed that the council take a vote to ratify the work Wessels and Heacox had done. The vote passed 4-1, with Roe against.
Wessels and Heacox, in a memo to the council, attested that hiring the county for planning and zoning services would save the city $140,000 versus the requested 2014 budget from the city's planning and zoning department.
The county's proposal is for the city to pay $190,000 a year for services. Crosslake's planning and zoning department was reported to have a 2014 requested budget of around $327,000.
Ken Anderson, planning and zoning department head who was terminated, argued at the meeting that there was little or no cost savings in hiring the county. He said the county's proposed costs didn't include certain line items like legal fees and travel expenses.
Anderson also explained that the requested budget included a third planning and zoning staff member and that the position was optional. He said that currently the planning and zoning department is under budget by $55,000, which would account for other purchases requested in 2014.
Later in the meeting Wessels said he still believed that hiring the county would save the city money.
Anderson asked the council members to state why they wanted to hire the county.
"A $140,000 savings and the county has a 98 percent approval rating. You seem to be happy ... with 78," Wessels said, referring to a survey the county performed in which 78 percent of those polled agreed or strongly agreed that they received satisfactory service from the city's planning and zoning staff.
Anderson called the survey "non-random," saying Chris Pence, county Land Services supervisor who performed the survey, was given a list of people to contact. Anderson said the council had done so to "stack the deck" against the department.
Schneider brought up the city's list of ordinance violations, which has not been reduced, as another reason to replace the department.
"I would submit that's because of lack of direction from the council and lack of action from the council," Anderson said. He said that according to ordinance, a council member or member of the public must initiate ordinance changes, and that as a staff member he could not do so.
He called the situation an "orchestrated assassination" of the department.
Before leaving the podium, Anderson displayed a photo of his daughter.
"I want you to know that you're affecting the lives and livelihoods of people who have dedicated themselves in this city," he said. He worked for the city for 10 years.
Bryan Hargrave, the city's other planning and zoning staff member, told the council he didn't believe hiring the county was the right choice.
"I really feel that this is not going to solve anything for you. But only time will tell. And with that I say farewell," Hargrave said. He worked for the city for eight years.
Around 10 people spoke at public forum, including former mayor Darrell Swanson, former planning and zoning commission chair Pete Abler and Whitefish Area Property Owners Association past president Dave Fischer, who all spoke against hiring the county for planning and zoning. One member of the public spoke in favor of hiring the county.
Council member John Moengen said he believed that by voting to hire the county, he was doing the right thing for the city.
"I believe we need to move this community forward. I believe we need this change," he said.
Heacox agreed, saying there were inconsistencies in ordinance enforcement.
"I spent a lot of time researching these options and I still believe that (this option) is better and I don't want to get into any more specifics," he said.
Roe argued for more time to consider the proposal and work through specifics, but other council members did not express agreement.
After deciding to hire the county, the council placed both Hargrave and Anderson on paid administrative leave for 30 working days.
The decision to hire the county for planning and zoning services was effective immediately, and county land services supervisor Pence was in the office Wednesday morning, Sept. 25, at city hall.

Take health care off the mainframe
At TEDMED, Eric Dishman makes a bold argument: The US health care system is like computing circa 1959, tethered to big, unwieldy central systems: hospitals, doctors, nursing homes. As our aging population booms, it's imperative, he says, to create personal, networked, home-based health care for all.

I have heard rave things about Juice and had to try it out. I bought this set for travel and 311 compliance. I have been using it for 4 days now and love it! I have extremely sensitive skin and the peel seemed to sting a little but the results after using it were incredible. The tubes seem kind of small but they are going a long long way. I really can decide what product is my favorite but I think the spray mist is probably it. Or maybe the antioxidant serum...no the gel cleanser.... no the mist, definitely the mist.4
I have mixed feelings about this. After using all five products I began to see an improvement on my skin, it feels much softer and it has helped prevent blemishes. The cleansing milk removes makeup easily, and the green apple peel makes my skin feel so clean and soft after each use. I really like that these products have helped clear up my face BUT they leave my skin SO oily! I've never been so oily in my life :( After a couple hours my face looks extremely oily, and that didn't happen before I started using these products. I already bought these items so I'm going to finish using them so they won't go to waste, and I feel like they do work on me, I just hate feeling oily afterwards, so after I'm finished with them I don't think I'll go back to using any of these products except for the face peel.4
I love JB, because all of their products are very friendly to my ingredient sensitive skin. The only problem is how moisturizing all the products are. I'm not prone to oiliness, but if I use too many JB products together I will be. As far as the peel, I don't see the point, and I don't notice any difference. The other products are great and are definitely worth trying, but be aware they are very effective at moisturizing. I haven't found a JB product yet that doesn't moisturize. It'd be really great for dry winter skin.4
I love green beauty! I've tried their apple peel and fell in love. Purchased this kit for my mother so she could try more of their products, and we were both very happy with the quality of all the products, the amount, and the price. These kits are great for testing out products without splurging on all of the full sized ones. So far I've been happy testing out all their products. The peel is my fave!4

A "Texas Dip" is an extremely low curtsey that is traditionally performed at debutante balls. The debutante being "presented" crosses her ankles and lowers herself to the floor, turning her head at the last moment to avoid getting lipstick on her dress.
The term is also a vulgar slang term for oral sex.

[quote user="MattMeyerBud"][quote user="bigblue4417"]Nothing was official as of 1 a.m. ET Friday morning, but both the New York Daily News and Hoopsworld reported that free agent J.R. Smith and the Knicks are on the verge of a deal. Barring a last-second snag, Smith should be a Knick by this weekend, earning the $2.5 million exception.
The Knicks could be the best team in the East....
im actually not in love wtih that move...
not enough balls to go around in NY
I think he would of fit perfectly with the Lakers
not sure why he was going for Clips and Knicks
you KNOW your coming off the bench there - he prob could of started for Lakers and put them back in the top talks
I think i like the move. who would you rather see with the ball? Walker or JR Smith? thought so. lol
He's an awesome 6th man, that's for damn sure. Did he wanna play with Melo again or something? I didnt really read much about it to be honest</P>

Buddy Ryan was accused in the 80's for the same thing[/quote] This ain't the 80s. Look at everything the NFL has done in recent years to curtail player injuries. And now they find out a team was paying their players to headhunt QBs? They are going to get crucified.[/quote] In the 80's, football was a man's sport almost as manly as hockey and rugby. The NFL is slowly turning into a flag football league. Now, there is more brutality in the LFL. This ain't the 80's. The only manly QB's are Cutler, Eli, Peyton, and Favre. The rest demand penalties. It's a great league for a bunch of wannabe men.[/quote] Certainly, this is being painted as an issue of player safety in the media. Does anyone here own a business? What happens when you don't make note of money that you are paying your employees? Or really, any money going in and out of the business. You get ****ed. Big time. The Saints have been paying their players under the table in certain aspects for the last three years. Completely dismantling NFL cap regulation rules and our countries laws. This is a much bigger issue than "player safety". I have seen plenty of Saints games over the last three years. I haven't seen any hits where I thought to myself, "it looks as if they are purposely attempting to hurt that guy". Sure, I've seen big hits, but nothing that seemed overly violent. However, I am pretty ticked off that they feel as if they deserve an unfair advantage over other teams in the league. I'm pretty ticked off that some guys will make my monthly earnings on one big hit, and not get taxed for any of it. I think you should be too.[/quote] First of all, screw taxes. I do whatever I can to weasel my way out of taxes and I commend anyone who does the same. Second of all, paying money to get around the salary cap should result in SERIOUS repercussions for the team. IE ALL of their draft pics for 2 years and 10-20 mil taken away from their cap for at least 2 years. I don't care if it sends the team to the stone age. If you cheat, you should be punished severely to the point where you have to start over.[/quote] Okay, your opinion of whether you want to pay taxes or not is unnecessary here. What happens when you don't? You get in trouble. Fines, prison, etc. This is what Goodell is dealing with here - much more than just player safety.[/quote]</P>
Not only tax issues, but salary cap issues.* </P>[/quote]
The legal ramifications are brutal. This isn't going to stop with a swift punishment by the league, Goodell wants to put this deal over the rear view mirror and get over it but it will linger in so many bad ways.

Victory ends Scotland trip
Livingston 1, Wolves 2
Wolves made it two wins from two on their pre-season tour of Scotland by coming from behind to win at Livingston on Saturday afternoon.
In sweltering conditions once again, goals from George Elokobi and David Davis overturned a fine Livingston opener from Mark McNulty, as Head Coach Kenny Jackett continued to run the rule over the Wolves squad.
Wolves almost took what would have been a spectacular early lead when a stray clearance fell to Jack Price.
With keeper Darren Jamieson off his line Price struck a first time shot with his left foot which was destined for the top corner until Jamieson managed to get back to claw the ball away.
And it was the hosts who then made the breakthrough with an excellent well-worked goal in the 12 minute, Jason Talbot's first time cross from the left volleyed home from close range by McNulty.
The hosts shaded the first 20 minutes of the contest but from there Wolves responded well to the setback and controlled the remainder of the opening period, creating a string of chances.
The spell of dominance saw front two Leigh Griffiths and Björn Sigurdarson enjoy plenty of opportunities as they stretched the Livingston defence.
Griffiths, back at the club where he started his career, was heavily involved, and appeared to have his ankles clipped as he tried to get a shot in having latched onto an excellent Lee Evans pass.
Either side of that penalty appeal he directed Bjorn Sigurdarson's cross wide and then also fired off target having found space off the last defender as he desperately tried to get on the scoresheet.
Sigurdarson fired over after showing some decent feet inside the penalty area, but when Wolves' equaliser arrived it was courtesy of a defender – George Elokobi.
Livingston failed to clear a Wolves corner and Elokobi's precise shot possibly took a slight deflection but he wasn't complaining as it crossed the line to level the scores.
Wolves almost went in front shortly afterwards but Price's meeting of a cross from the industrious Matt Doherty bounced back off the post.
Only one change was made by Jackett at the break – Liam McAlinden on for Sigurdarson – and Wolves didn't have long to wait for a second goal, with Doherty again involved.
Latching on to some good work from Griffiths, Doherty's clever pullback was fired home impressively into the roof of the net by David Davis.
Wolves continued to press and Doherty had a goal disallowed for offside after knocking in Price's cross before a raft of substitutions 20 minutes from time saw all bar McAlinden making way.
McAlinden and Zeli Ismail weren't far away with shots while Jake Cassidy drew two fine saves from Livingston substitute keeper Kevin Walker.
Dave Edwards was also denied by Walker with a header from Kevin Foley's cross while the last action of the game saw one of several Livingston trialists fire over the bar from distance.
But it was Wolves who headed for the long trip back to Molineux with their 100 per cent pre-season record intact and hoping for further improvement as the friendly schedule continues at Wrexham on Tuesday.
WOLVES: McCarey (Ikeme 70), Doherty (Foley 70), Batth (Margreitter 70), Elokobi (Stearman 70), Ricketts (Reckord 70), Price (Forde 70), Evans (Doumbia 70), Davis (Edwards 70), Sako (Ismail 70), Griffiths (Cassidy 70), Sigurdarson (McAlinden 45)

So tired of these ESPN ex-athletes/coaches who weren't ever that good but on ESPN they are seen as GODS amongst dorky journalists and other on air ESPN personalities. Marcellus Wiley, this guy prances around every show on their 20 channels just happy to have a job. I can appreciate that. He NEVER acts like he was the man, and he knows he was never the man so he actually has a bit of fun rather than "Well let me tell you how it is."
Herm, his socks, he's just so over board. We get it, Coach, you're the man. You can go in to ANY High School locker room and yell for 10 minutes, get the boys hype and all that. We get it, you made a big play, were a decent player, horrible coach. You've DONE IT ALL, Herm. We get it. You're now on ESPN.
ESPN is what we have, as sports fans, and I think we all love the HIGHLIGHTS/good information portions of SportsCenter and such but then when you have a bum talking about a guy currently playing? Save that for Sports Radio. Personally all I want from ESPN are highlights, team news, offensive/defensive matchups, and I'd much rather have ESPN Classics be merged with ESPN, get rid of all those corny shows like Around the Horn and ANYTHING not named Sportscenter [30 for 30 is really good! THAT Type of stuff, ESPN] and show us classic games in between their actual coverage of today's games/SportsCenters.
If I want to hear hate/disgruntled opinions I'll turn on AM Sports Talk.
That is essentially what you are saying. I personally find that ridiculous. If I have a team of 5 people who work for me and we just won a 5 million dollar advertising contract, but 1 of those 5 team members is an underperformer, trust me, I'll replace that 1 guy as soon as I can. Win or lose, he's not pulling his weight and is a detriment to the team.
And regarding Packer fans. The fact that Rodgers played well but still lost a bunch of playoff games means that fans know that Rodgers did his job and he was not to the reason why they lost. While they'll give their right arm for another SB win, they know that blaming Rodgers is just silly.
The point gotten from this post is that it's a team sport and an individual is only a smallish % of the overall outcome. Being a good or bad performer is absolute. Winning or losing should have no bearing on that.

text: I installed 2 packages yesterday, it was around 50 F and sunny but got cold overnight. I was out during the night and looked up through the bottom of one of my hives with a flashlight(it has a translucent BB under the screen). The cluster was hanging from the top bars, but was seperated from the hanging queen cage by 2 bar thicnesses. The bees in the packages were Italians, the queens Russians. This morning I slid the BB out a bit from the other hive and peeked up into it as well, same thing, but its cluster was about 2x the size of the other. Lots of drift in one day I guess as the packages felt to be about the same weight when I emptied them. Has anyone observed this before? Probably impossible to know if it happens in a lang' but with a TBH one can see more of what is going on in the beginning. It is going to be cold and windy today, I am considering opening one of the hives up and releasing the queen and see if they accept her, I don't know why they wouldnt, When I picked the packages up the supplier said they had been in them for 3 days already.

Thank you for your great service and product. The installation went like a breeze. My wife and I had no difficulties and didn't bicker once. I'm sure you all don't experience those times. :) The product got here as quickly as promised I really thank you for all your help. Two thumbs up for the sales rep she provided great guidance. All the Best. One more satisfied customer, Mike


text: Well I see I joined here in April 2010. I built my hive in ealry 2012 and then I injured myself later that year so I couldn't geta hive. Now I have a hive all lined up for next weekend!! I inspected it today and had a lot of fun listening and watching and learning. I thought I would be nervous around the bees but I didn't even think about it and the bees were extremely docile when handled by the exopert. I hope they stay that way when I have them here next week. Only 6 more sleeps until my bees are home
