I'm not a fan of sweets and gummies., so I like the fact that it tastes pretty fine and that I don't have to do it so often, just once a day. :)

I selected these gummies instead of a traditional swallowed pill and it has proved to be a nice little treat...and I am not so apt to forget to take my vitamin (which is a good thing since I have a deficiency).
So good.

My favorite vitamins :) I suggest them strongly to anyone. Taste of these gummies is a bit sour but sweet. Dosage is safe for most adults (check your vit D level in blood) and kids in order to maintain good level of vitamin D. During the winter I take 5000 IU of vit D. So these ones are more for fall & spring when there is some natural sun outside.


text: By research, do you mean watch a few truther documentaries, and watch Russian influenced news?It saddens me that most people are ignorant to history, and are unaware of what is really taking place. I'm forced to accept the fact that standing up for what you believe in and speaking out against public perception is now the new taboo in a land which derived itself from that very nature. The media has now found a way to turn the word truth into a negative term, "truthers". And that's only because the majority of we the people are naive enough to buy into it. When an event takes place we are now suppose to accept and believe what we're told by the main stream and that's that. If we dare question it, we are deemed as crazy, unpatriotic, and hated.This is way beyond football for me. At this point sports isn't important. We live in a world filled with hatred, greed, manipulation, and corruption. And people are suffering because of it. The truth is right in our faces, but the majority of us refuse to act on logic or reasoning although we claim to. Instead we let our emotions control what we choose to believe.This isn't about Nicks vs Cruz, Eli vs Brady, or the Giants vs the Packers. I'm not here to argue or debate with anyone on this matter. We're all affected and in this together. Fighting with one another won't resolve anything. But be prepared to take anything, as crazy as it may sound into perspective. Look no further than our past history to understand that anything is possible in a world as corrupt as the one we live in today. Be open minded. Look at the facts. Ignore your emotions because it obscures reality. It is not crazy to think outside of the box. It's time to wake up and do some research.

Looking for opinions and recipes about authentic Paella.
I cook mine outside, over charcoal, on my BBQ. I use a carbon steel paella pan.
My 2 versions are "rabbit, snails and chorizio" with lima beans, artichokes, roasted red peppers, sofrito (grated tomato pulp, onions & garlic), chicken stock and saffron. I occasionally embellish with asparagus, chicken (if my kids are watching and I can't use rabbit) and I sometimes add prawns, clams and mussels when entertaining and I want to be festive and not a purist.
My other version is the seafood one, as above, but no snails, rabbit or chicken stock. Just sausage and lots of seafood and good fish stock and occasionally chicken pieces if I need to stretch it out.
I have not made the squid ink version, as I can't find fresh or frozen squid ink that I trust.
For either version or hybrid, I toast my saffron before grinding and adding to the stock and use only parsley for garnish. I also swear by Iranian Saffron over Spanish. I know, I know, don't howl too loud. I really believe the Iranian is better (& cheaper). I believe that the Spanish only export their crappy Saffron and hoard all the good stuff for themselves.
What do you think?

Re: Paella
Hi Pit Boss,
Billy Bear from sunny Spain yes they do keep all the good stuff for themselves and it's cheaper here than back in uk. They also keep all the good wine as well. That's why we're here try adding some red chillies to your Paella .Otherwise you seem to have covered all the angles .We live in the Valencian area of Spain home of the Paella.

Re: Paella
Thanks BillyBear
I do add strips of roasted red pepper but no hot chilies. I use a few tbsp of good Spanish Paprika, it's labeled Pimenton Dulce (Murcia Mild Paprika). It has a gorgeous orange colour and an intense aroma.
My question is about beans.
I add Lima beans (here in Canada that is what we call the young, tender favas). My research tells me I should be adding long green beans and cooked white beans like the White Italian or Great Northern beans as well.
What can you tell me about that.
I'm having trouble with the socarrat (or is it soccarat?). It's really a timing and coal issue. I must have the perfect fire so that the heat will fry all my meat, veg & sofrito, yet cool down enough to avoid burning the rice before it is fully cooked. I usually remove the paella from the heat 5 mins early, seal it in foil to let it rest, but that softens up the crust.
Any suggestions?

Re: Paella
hi pit boss,
like the sound of your paella, its not the sort of thing people associate with bbq's but that is actually the most authentic way of doing it.
i also live in the valencia region of spain, home of the paella, hi howya doin billybear.
the first version you mention is a very authentic valencian paella, except for the chorizo. the first paellas were made by farmers and country folk and were made pretty exactly the way you say, often with hardy mountain herbs like rosemary. the chorizo is a definite no-no, as is any sausage. personally i really like chorizo but ive used it myself and told spanish friends and they went ballistic!
i love fresh green asparragus in paella too but i cant comment on the authenticity.
usually when using rice i use chicken or rabbit or both with a couple of rosemary branches that i remove before serving, chickpeas are good as an alternative to beans and i go for green peppers over red cos i think it gives it that 'country' feel.
but whenever i want a seafood paella i make a valencian 'fideua', pronnounced: fidd-eh-wah
its made in the same way as paella but uses only seafood and pasta instead of rice. the pasta is a thin tube-shape like mini maccaroni (the hole thru the middle is about the size of spaghetti), give it a try, as i say the method is the same but use fish stock instead of chicken stock and only seafood, no veg.
squid is imperative (some fideuas have nothing but squid) and although its not authentic i like to add red peppers.
i can only really pass on what ive heard or been told, so i hope its correct, but one thing ive learned living in spain and meeting spanish people is that they are very regionalistic, so much so that you could even break that down into towns. every town has its own traditions, its own festivals, and its own recipes and ask anyone and they will tell you that their way is the best. i mention this because it obviously means that a paella can change drastically from place to place, add to that the tourist factor, which means restaurants will tailor recipes to cheapen or simplify them and all in all it makes it very difficult to say what 'right' or not. nevertheless it sounds as tho youve got a good thing going, maybe you could pass me a few bar-b tips some day...
oh and i had that same heat problem when i cooked paella on a bar-b, i fried the meat etc, then when i was ready to cook the rice i removed the pan, allowed the coals to cool, then returned to the heat to cook the rice thru. i know you dont want lukewarm food sitting around but i just spread the coals out a little and they cooled in a few minutes.

Unfortunately my schedule mandates this coming weekend as my winter hive check weekend. Temps are supposed to be in the 20's. My plan is as follows.
Take off top cover. Look, listen, and hope there are bees still alive. If so, remove inner cover, find empty frame or two quick as possible, replace with full frame or two. Replace covers. Done. Good idea? Bad idea? Will it hurt much to do more of a check? If the cluster is there on the top, should I replace inner frames or outer frames? It will be really difficult for me to do another check before mid or end of March.
What does everyone think??

The Political Uses of the Drug War
Chihuahua, Texas, Arizona, Mexico City, and California
Oct. 10-Nov. 3
Investigative journalists John Gibler and Diego Osorno present an important analysis of the devastating violence in Mexico and the failing U.S and Mexican counter-narcotic policies. These two experts bring first hand perspectives from the regions of Mexico most affected by the drug war and will discuss recent social mobilizations and possible avenues for change.
Diego Osorno's best selling book on the origins and deeply entrenched power of the Cartel de Sinaloa speaks plainly about cartel infiltration of Mexico's civil and military power structures and how to wrest the destiny of the country back from the criminal mafias empowered by drug prohibition, impunity, and easy access to guns.
Gibler's work, To Die in Mexico takes the reader deep into the terrifying landscape of Mexico's drug war where he exposes the hollow slogans and military "victories" in the light of the searing pain and inhuman impact they bring to communities across Mexico.

Glaze Organization In The Classroom
Posted 09 February 2011 - 03:36 PM
Posted 12 February 2011 - 05:37 PM
I am looking for suggestions to facilitate glazing in the classroom using commercial glazes. I usually have three tables of five students each. Students are provided with sponges, brushes and water along with their bisqueware. I am looking for suggestions on how to organize the glazes so students can easily choose their colors and to not be wasteful. I would appreciate any ideas you may have.
One of the things I do is create a rotating environment for my painters. (I don't do clay in my classroom.) Depending on the project each table has a different color or two and they move from table to table to the colors they want. That way you're not pouring out ten containers of red and then trying to get it back in the bottle because most only used a small amount. It might work with glaze? Set up each table with a different glaze or couple of glazes and brushes. They have to move to the table of the color they want and then to the next color. This way no one will mix brushes and glazes together. Keep in mind I don't do clay so it's just a quick brainstorm. If you dip instead then I don't have a clue. :-)

Students are provided with sponges, brushes and water along with their bisqueware. I am looking for suggestions on how to organize the glazes so students can easily choose their colors and to not be wasteful. I would appreciate any ideas you may have.
I went to powdered commercial glazes after a few years of bottled pints and gallons. The powdered glazes allowed me to make up larger batches used for dipping. I limited my palate to about 14 colors in the beginning, and augmented them with accent colors of glaze and stain in pint containers. In this manner I could control the costs better. In the end though, as glazes continued to grow in cost, I switched to mixing my own. With a few base materials, and oxides I was able to get a color range that worked well. As for organizing all of this, the glazes were placed in a row on the floor, or on an old band riser so that the height was convenient. Pouring ladles were provided here. Then the stains and accent glazes were organized on a couple of tables with a wide variety of brushes.
Risers come in handy in a lot of ways in the classroom. Even high school children can be height challenged when it comes to wedging clay on a wedging table that is a little too high. A riser gives them room to brace feet, and wedge at a comfortable height. I would use it when wedging that 20-25Lb ball of clay as it gave me a better angle.

Depending on your budget and safety issues like ventilation I would stay away from powder unless you can mix it outside with a mask. What Pres says is great and you will save money. But do not do it unless safety is taken into account. Pres suggestions I think would be best if you can pre mix everything when the kids are not around and take your own health into consideration. If not underglaze and a clear may be the other route. That can run up your budget. If you can allocate small film container size portions out the maybe that would help. Go to the dollar store and look for small portion containers if you chose that route.
Good luck!
I happened to have downdraft tables in my studio that were purchased when they purchased for the shop classes. I also had an industrial air filter system. I used fine particle filter masks, and took precautions like use of spoons, and scoops, washing counters and floors, and used a spray booth when spraying. I would also mix glazes in the studio when students were not around-not because of the health problem, but because I needed to concentrate on my chemistry. As for mixing, the biggest problem was getting the water into the glaze without clouding. found it easier to put half the water into the container, add the powder carefully to the water. When all in, add a little more water and then mix slowly with drill/paint mixer. Increase speed as glaze becomes more consistent. Add water to desired thickness, and strain twice. Mixing up a 5 gal or 2 gal that way is really pretty clean, and easy.
Posted 24 February 2011 - 10:39 PM
If i get out the random pints (from previous teacher) the students are instructed to share and go to the pint, pint isn't in use it gets put back on the cart. I used art catalogs and cut out the glaze charts in them and taped the sample to each lid. I also re-wrote the glaze name on the lid to help with cleanup. I only use amaco in my classroom and have a poster of their colors but its like where's waldo and kids have a hard time matching names to glazes and get frustrated when i don't have a glaze they like.
I recently switched to gallons. I put these in properly labeled ziploc containers and have about 6 colors to choose from. I show the students how to enhance textures by sponging on dark colors, spattering, and layering to really make 6 colors seem like alot more. I demo techniques and have students go to the color they want which is at a specific table. If doing 2 colors in a class they let the glaze dry (which is pretty quick anyways) before moving to the next station. I usually set a timer so students know when to switch. I know it may be a major ceramist faux pas but I sometimes add food coloring to my blues and greens to help the students distinguish them while painting. I haven't noticed a change in the glaze outcome and if nothing has gone wrong yet I will keep doing it.
I would love to make the jump to dipping glazes (oh the time it would save and no more white spots), but i have alot of other glazes to use up first.

q u e e n o f t h e r o c o c o
hello oscars! is anyone else as excited as i am?
amy adams in oscar de la renta.
where be thine make-up, ms. adams? a little rouge or even some glittery eye shadow would have gone a long way. is it just me or do i feel like oscar de la renta has made the same gown in varying hues FOR THE PAST 10 YEARS?! adams looks like every other starlet who has worn his dresses to the oscars from the past decade. but there is something off about this one. lackluster even. like someone got bored halfway through sewing on all that tulle.
equally as lovely is jacki weaver. it is well-documented that weaver is actually ursula the sea witch from the little mermaid so it is good to see she has toned down her witchy ways (cue THATsong. am i right MC!) that colour is smashing, age appropriate and she is dressing like she can win even though we all know she won't. you go weaver.
and we have hathaway, who apparently decided that the best way to announce her entrance was with her nipples and saggy breasts. way to go hathaway. she looks hideous. i know the fashionistas want to love her cause she once starred in a film called 'the devil wears prada' (which actually wasn't that fashion forward) but here in prada she looks like a box. a satin box. a tired satin box. a tired satin box with nipples and saggy breasts. someone get this girl a credible stylist because the stylist who is currently employed by hathaway clearly hates her.
ok kidman, you look amazing. for those who actually pay attention to my ramblings (which i don't think any of you actually should, even i am aren't that amused by the shit i talk) i have a serious love/hate relationship with kidman. i am baffled by how someone can go from being one of the greatest actress living (to die for, the hours, rabbit hole, dead calm) to someone who is unwatchable on screen (moulin rogue!, australia, birthday girl). but this dress is gorgeous and she is glowing here. if i own this i would wear it everywhere. the dentist! my evening stroll! the markets! well, probably not the markets cause like elaine from seinfeld, i don't really enjoy going to the markets. but everywhere else for sure.

text: Round 1- Reggie Nelson S Florida- Just way too talented to pass up IMO. He is what we have been looking for ever since Woody left. The only real knock against him is his size and strength, but we dont really need that from him. He can contribute as a nickle corner and FS on passing situations. Would switch on and off with Hamlin in the 1st year, and be a full time starter in his 2nd year. Round 2- Jason Hill WR Wash. St.- Good size and speed(6' 205 4.38 40). Had over 1,000 yards and 10 TD's as a Jr. but got hurt as a senior. Was considered a 1st round pick coming into the year, but his stock fell because of injury concerns. If healthy could easily be the 2nd best WR in the draft behind Johnson. Round 3- Quentin Moses DE/OLB Georgia- 6'5 250 with good speed and quickness. Had a great Jr. year but seemed like he had a case of senioritis last year. If he returns to form he could be a great situational pass rusher. Was selected all-academic in the past. Seems like with some good coaching this kid could turn into a great sack artist. Round 4- Paul Soliai NT Utah- 6'4 344. Obviously just a BIG man. Can plug up the middle and be a dominant run stuffer. Just needs to get in shape and condition himself so he can be a factor down the stretch in games. Round 5- Mario Henderson OT Florida St.- 6'6 305. Big, but still has room to add bulk to his frame. Very athletic, played some TE early on in his career. Started every game at LT for the seminoles last year. A lot of upside who could be a starter after a few years of development

Recreational marijuana task force finishes recommendations to governor
Members make 14 recommendations to regulate drug
DENVER - A variety of recommendations on regulating recreational marijuana in Colorado came on Thursday evening, the scheduled deadline for a 24-member task force appointed by Gov. John Hickenlooper.
Working late into the evening, task force members ended two months of discussions. Their recommendations are as follows:
*Enact two taxes -- a 15 percent excise tax paid by shops where the drug is sold, and an unspecified sales tax on customers. The taxes would require voter approval.
*Restrict access to the drug by minors.
*Provide law enforcement officers with new training to catch impaired drivers.
*Update the state's Clean Air Act to include the effect of marijuana smoke.
*Make off-the-job marijuana use by employees a fire-able offense for employers.
*Allow the drug to be sold to out-of-state visitors.
*Limit marijuana advertising.
*Require the drug to have child-proof packaging.
*Emphasize that it's illegal for marijuana to be given away in exchange for a donation.
*Make marijuana part of bar and restaurant smoking bans, possibly making so-called "cannabis clubs" or "smoking clubs" illegal.
*Prohibit growing marijuana outdoors.
*Require marijuana shops to have state and local approval.
*Create a regulatory system similar to that in medical marijuana dispensaries that follows recreational marijuana from seed to sale.
*Require that marijuana products have potency labeling.
Still unresolved is when, how and where recreational marijuana users can legally purchase the drug -- whether a new distribution system or existing medical marijuana dispensaries would be used -- although the recommendations seem to indicate the start of a new system.
Furthermore, uncertainty remains about whether the federal government might crack down on recreational or medical marijuana. The drug remains illegal at the federal level. Hickenlooper says he expects to hear soon from U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder on the matter.
Hickenlooper created the task force last December, shortly after voters passed Amendment 64 legalizing recreational marijuana. Members began meeting in January, and have considered how the drug should be sold, taxed and otherwise regulated.
Ali Hillery, owner of Rocky Mountain Miracles, a medical marijuana dispensary in Colorado Springs, said she wants to sell recreational marijuana regardless of whether she does it as part of her dispensary or in a separate shop.
"I think it would help more people," she said. "Many people are afraid to come get the medical marijuana cards. I'm hoping that Colorado can pave the way for the rest of the states."
State Senate President John Morse, a Democrat, recently discussed what he expects to happen next after the governor received the task force recommendations.
"The (House) Speaker and I have talked about the possibility of trying to put together a joint committee, to then take (the) recommendations and try to craft that into a bill, because that's going to be step one from the legislative process, and then we'll see how that bill winds its way through the Legislature," said Morse.
Morse said he'd like such a committee to include the four lawmakers who served on the task force.
"Let's make full use of (them) that have spent hours dealing with these issues," he said.
Taxes from the sale of recreational marijuana could pay for school construction, safety enforcement and drug education.

Risk has taken on a new sense of urgency in the funds management industry since the onset of what is now known as the GFC.
As well as prompting existential analysis (and in some cases the blotting out of existence), the GFC has encouraged an industry-wide overhaul of risk-management strategies 'stress-testing', for example, has become a fashionable exercise.
But it's not just the funds management entities themselves that have become risk-revisonaries, regulators and legislators are also getting in on the trend.
New Zealand's Financial Market Conduct bill, for instance, is partly concerned with caging in investment risk.
The New Zealand government, through its Crown Ownership Monitoring Unit (COMU) is also keeping a closer eye on the collective risks undertaken by the public-owned investment funds.
The COMU 2011 report notes that it "is not clear whether the level of discretionary risk taken by each CFI [Crown Financial Institution] is optimal".
"However, with the size of the CFI portfolio (in terms of assets and liabilities) forecast to grow over time, the Government will continue to monitor the level of discretionary risk being borne across the CFI portfolio, and maintain comfort as the Crown balance sheet changes," the COMU report says.
The Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) this week also released a review of risk management in the funds management industry that found "the sophistication of risk management systems varied greatly".
ASIC's Report 298, titled 'Adequacy of risk management systems of responsible entities', seems to be concerned with eliminating that variety, proposing a number of systemic upgrades.
Given Australian banks dominate New Zealand's funds management industry, ASIC's demand for uniform risk control will probably flow on here.
ASIC identifies risk problems at both ends of the funds industry. For boutique investment funds, the regulator frets about 'key person risk' ie the over-reliance on star personalities (some New Zealand examples may spring to mind). And the town's big end, ASIC notes uneasily, is just getting fatter.
"The managed funds industry is undergoing significant transformation as a result of the global financial crisis and continuing market instability, volatility and uncertain market sentiment," the report says. "This environment is exacerbating risk aversion and creating higher expectations from retail investors, as well as increasing cost pressures and reducing inflows; these factors are driving responsible entities to integrate and consolidate.
"Business integration poses new and emerging risks that need to be managed by a number of the selected responsible entities."
And maybe there's another risk that ASIC doesn't articulate: the risk of regulatory-imposed uniformity.

The Destination
Kit Carson Lodge took the road less traveled even before there were roads to travel. More than 85 years ago, when vacation homes began going up around Lake Tahoe, Kit Carson Lodge retreated to Silver Lake, about 45 minutes south, where it's been catering to travelers' rustic sensibilities ever since.
The Digs
While it's not quite as backwoods as it once was, this 27-unit retreat (19 cabins and 8 hotel rooms) is still in the thick of El Dorado National Forest. At 7,300 feet above sea level, situated at the dead end of Kit Carson Road just steps from the lake, it's maintained a decidedly woodsy, far-from-everything aesthetic with wood-paneled rooms, raftered ceilings, patchwork quilts, and pastoral artwork.
Stay in one of three cabins and you'll be treated to a wood-burning stove, a fully equipped kitchen, and a private deck. While the Cottontail Cabin accommodates two guests, the Deer I and Deer II cabins can sleep up to three people, with a nominal fee for each guest after two. Inquire about larger three-, four-, five-, and six-person cabins for an additional fee.
The Diversions
Explore Silver Lake by boat with your four-hour rental, which can be used for a motorized craft, a kayak, or a canoe. Whatever you choose, make sure to pack your walking stick: A short paddle over to Treasure Island, the lake's largest island, delivers you to secluded forest pathways where excellent views of the Sierra abound.
Your dinner credit at the on-site restaurant scores you anything from Yukon gold potato latkes with red-pepper coulis to pan-sautéed trout to wild mushroom spinach risotto. Complement it with a glass from the locally sourced wine list and cap it all off with crème brûlée.
"The setting doesn't get any better. Crystal blue alpine lake, granite outcroppings, a resident bald eagle dancing in the sky, and blue skies and piercing stars. We loved our little rustic cabin. This will be our new new annual vacation spot!"-- TripAdvisor

1989 Chevy C30 Crew Cab - Busted Knuckles
Backyard-Built Square Body
Some guys start building custom vehicles at a young age. They make mistakes, and they learn from them. Other guys start a little later and learn from the mistakes that everyone else makes. These guys are the smart ones. Daniel Loper of Newberry, Florida, is of the latter. He has been in the custom truck scene since he was 19 but waited 13 years to build himself a truck. This gave him enough time to really figure out what he wanted. Daniel chose a 1989 Chevy C30 Crew Cab longbed and immediately began building it the way he envisioned it.
Daniel began by cutting up the stock frame in order for the truck to lay rocker. With the frame cut and boxed, the suspension was rebuilt. The frontend was brought down to Earth using Belltech 3-inch drop spindles, Airlift 2600 'bags, and Belltech shocks. Out back, Daniel fabricated a triangulated four-link and bolted matching Airlift 'bags to it. The suspension was capped off with 22-inch Incubus wheels.
After the proper stance was achieved, Daniel began work on the body. This started with removing all of the unnecessary components such as the emblems, driprails, antenna, door handles, mirrors, taillights, and tailgate handle. A license plate bucket was then frenched into the tailgate and a custom rollpan was built for the rear. In the bed, a sheetmetal bridge cover and wheel tubs were welded in. With the body straight, several coats of DuPont Phantom Grey metallic and Dark Cherry were sprayed. A satin clear was sprayed over the top, sealing in the two-tone scheme.
From the outside, Daniel's truck looks finished, but he still has a lot to do. The interior and engine are yet to be completed. Daniel also plans to scrap the 22-inch wheels in favor of a set of 26-inch hoops. When asked if there was anyone he wanted to thank, Daniel quickly responded with, "My friends, family, and Freaks."

Why do some Maine politicians keep talking about businesses as "job creators?"
Under capitalism, the purpose of a business is to make a profit. No business starts out or keeps on operating to create jobs.
So, don't call them "job creators." Call them "profiteers."
Most of us would probably agree that the deep divide between Democrats and Republicans is one of the major problems facing our society. This does not just apply to Washington or Augusta, but also to us regular people. We need to relearn how to talk and listen to the other side, and stop voting for people who are divisive, unwilling to find common ground with the opposition, and have no positive vision for the future.
At a meeting for the candidates in Hartland, I asked Senator Doug Thomas why he scored lowest in the Senate on the environmental scorecard of the independent group Maine Conservation Voters. He wanted to answer referring to a specific bill. I chose LD852, Land for Maine's Future, a $5 million bond issue that helps protect working farms, forests, and waterfronts. The bill enjoyed overwhelming bipartisan support. Thomas was one of only six senators (out of 36) who voted against the bill. His reason was money, he said.
When I think of people who bought a farm for little more than a song in the '60s and '70s, or Baxter who bought Mount Katahdin, it seems a no-brainer that this $5 million would be a wonderful gift to future Mainers that otherwise are mostly inheriting problems from our generation. This is a vision for the future that I share, apparently, with the overwhelming majority of the voters and state representatives and senators. Here are some exceptions: Doug Thomas, Debra Plowman, and Ray Wallace, who has the dubious distinction of a flat zero on the scorecard: He is even OK with BPA in baby bottles, although it "might cause some women to grow little beards."
This kind of extremism cannot help us overcome the Great Divide. Let's elect people who can talk and listen to and reason with fellow Americans of differing opinions. Herbie Clark, Dave Pearson, and Dusty Dowse are such people.

What a wonderfully perverse sense of humor.
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
What a wonderfully perverse sense of humor.
My DH and I finished our taxes yesterday and somehow this was especially funny to us. I do suspect that your fabric stash and sewing machine are under surveillance by the authorities (quilt police, to be precise).
Your Favorite (Retired) School Librarian
Today I bent the truth to be kind, and I have no regret, For I am far surer of what is kind than I am of what is true.
MadQuilter you are a wonderfully sick woman!! I love your KSBS!! I agree, Sue on the traintracks, or maybe a guillotine??? I haven't enjoyed a post as much as this for a long time. Keep 'em coming!!
Pets are not our whole lives, but they make our lives whole. (Roger Caras made this quote about dogs, but I love cats too!)
How funny, you are a genius.
That is going to be one warped quilt! lol
I like all your blocks and embellishments -- very funny and clever. But I'm sad, too. I love Sunbonnet Sues! She always brightens my days!
Hanging in the living room, it will certainly set a mood.
I am glad that so many of you understand my "off" way of looking at life.
As for the people who don't like it and don't appreciate it. They were most likely not my target audience. I cannot hurt anyone's feelings without their permission. So if you choose to be offended. enjoy your righteous indignation. I do!
Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Fabric!


text: The conversation around female masturbation is changing... venues. According to the Tokyo Reporter, it's moved out of women's apartments (over a glass of wine) and into bars (over a glass of wine). After all, what goes better with vibrator talk than booze? Japan has opened the first masturbation-themed bar. Love Joule, located in Tokyo's bustling Shibuya district, features an assortment of colorful vibrators behind the bar in the place where you'd normally see an assortment of colorful liquor bottles. (Fact for the day: an indulgence in masturbation instead of alcohol is 100% less likely to result in a hangover the next morning.) Proprietor Megumi Nakagawa created the bar as a safe space for women to openly discuss their sexual preferences and turn-ons. Men are allowed in, but not without a female chaperone. This bar is an example of Japan's new eagerness to do away with the stigma surrounding female masturbation. (This, from the country that brings us the portable flushing noise gadget so no one can hear you pee.) This masturbation bar may be the first bar with vibrators, but it's not the first to bring an open discussion of sexual pleasure into social establishments. San Francisco is home to a cafe centered around the BDSM community. New York's East Village opened (and closed) a V-shaped bar called Lava Gina (perhaps they should have offered vibrators to keep their doors open?). So what do you think - is Japan ahead of this trend? Or behind it?

Is this a vulnerability?
I think I may have found a vulnerability however im not sure if its already known. If its not already known who has the responsibility of patching it?
The vulnerability:
I can post an image on any forum, grab the http header information of any one who views the image and save it to a log file on a remote server.
How its done:
1. You need a php script that will capture the http headers, echo an image and have the content-type header as jpg.
2. A direcoty called /image.jpg/
3. htaccess file to automatically load index files within diretorys
3. Some where you can post the <img> HTML tag.
Post the following code into any forum, blog, guestbook, website that accepts images from remote servers.
<img src="http://www.mysite.com/image.jpg">
How it works:
The php script has a jpg header, echos an image and stores http header information to a log file. This is great but still has the .php extention rather than the .jpg extention.
You create a directory called /image.jpg/
You tell the htaccess to show any file named index when you access the /image.jpg/ directory. So when you access www.mysite.com/image.jpg it will automatically load the php script (index.php) which looks like an ordinary jpg.
So we now have a php script that acts and looks like an image, that records http headers and we also have it looking like it has the .jpg extention rather than the .php extention.
So what you can do is post the image.jpg directory to a forum as an image and it will record any one who views its http header information. e.i. ip, referer, user-agent, etc...
Is this something new? Does everyone know about it? Is it a proble with php? htaccess? the browser? the forum?
So far it has been tested on:
vBulletin 3.8.1 - in posts - not in avatar
vBulletin 3.6.8 - in posts - not in avatar
phpBB 3.0.3 - in post - in avatar
Facebook - not vulnerable
imageshack - not vulnerable
Thank you,
Ive come to the conclusion that this may be normal behaviour and im just being dumb.
When the user views the image even if the image is hotliked their http headers get sent to the server, which is what my php script is picking up.
However what I dont understand is, can http headers be grabbed by the server when someone requests a normal image with a .jpg extention?

Philip Zimbardo:
The psychology of time
Psychologist Philip Zimbardo says happiness and success are rooted in a trait most of us disregard: the way we orient toward the past, present and future. He suggests we calibrate our outlook on time as a first step to improving our lives.

EVA Free - Voice Assistant

Published: 2012-04-17, by Ana Gracia.
EVA Intern - Virtual Assistant is a helpful application for your device that does thousands of actions and operations for you, like reading and replying messages, schedule events and others several actions.
Once you say what you need, EVA lists the options based on what she has understood and you should choose the one you meant and she does it for you. There are many things she can do: reminders based on locations, actions based on times, different modes and other multiple features. In additional features, you can integrate it with Evernote, Home Automation Insteon and Bluetooth Headsets.
Whereas it includes hundreds of options and it can be extremely useful, the design and organization still can be enhanced, for now it's pretty chaotic and sometimes you need to wait for EVA to finish talking and that can be pretty annoying sometimes. Still, it's better than most other Assistant, this one has better options and features.
BulletProof is the developer of EVA and other similar apps. Of course she won't get everything at first but if you spell it slowly and wait for the options, it most definitely will help you do what you want. It's a pity that the free version only lasts for 28 days.

Just make sure you get there early – it really is very small.

9. Have a laugh at The Brickhouse152C Brick Lane, E1 6RU

Resident DJ Excalibah brings the beats, a mix of well-known and up-and-coming comedians bring the jokes and there are a couple of live acts thrown in for good measure.
10. Get grimy in Bow E3
Not that we would recommend you go and stand on street corners or anything, but Bow E3 is pretty much the birthplace of grime. Wiley, Dizzee Rascal, Tinchy Stryder, et al, got their start there. The basement of Boy Better Know MC and producer Jammer may not be in full effect yet, but a stop in the area can't hurt. And with iconic grime battle Lord of the Mics making a comeback this year, who knows which future stars you might bump into?
Sarah Young - www.iamsarahyoung.com
1. Bogayo Moroccan fusion cuisine320 Old Street, EC1V 9DR
With shisha prices on Edgware Road hitting £25, you can't go wrong Bogayo's charge of £12 a pop. Order the grilled haloumi starter with artichoke hearts and hot tea. And the owner is a great personality, often found outside smoking and recounting stories about life back in Morocco.
2. Whitechapel MarketWhitechapel Rd (Vallance Rd to Cambridge Heath Rd), E1 1DT
This is the place to get saris and Indian jewellery. You cannot beat the prices, which are great for fashion students looking for cheap fabric or photographers seeking inspiration. Do not be afraid to haggle: most of the time, if you stand your ground you can end up getting a 10-30% discount. It's also a great place to buy old Bollywood DVDs and Bhangra music. Go on a Saturday to soak up the vibes.
3. Cocktails at The Polo Bar at the Westbury HotelBond St, W1S 2YF
Get the white Russian at the Polo Bar at the Westbury Hotel. Cheap? No. Worth it? Definitely. If you've just got paid and feel like splashing out on something to accompany your cocktails, order the lightly toasted salmon and cream cheese sandwiches.
4. Red Bull Studios155-171 Tooley Street, SE1 2JP
Kano, diplo, Katy B and many other internationally renowned artists have worked in this one-year-old state-of-the-art studio. Red Bull Studios has cool monthly events and special projects which are launched on its website, such as the Red Bull Mix Tape. This hidden gem also has a gallery with regular exhibitions that you shouldn't miss.
5. Sounds of the Universe7 Broadwick St, W1F 0DA
For those who collect vinyl but DJ on a laptop, this is a perfect little find. This shop mostly stocks vinyl but also has a great selection of CDs. If you're after reggae, Latin, soul-jazz, Afro-beat and funk, it's a treasure chest. Put aside a few hours for browsing and listening.
6. Laudree at Harrods87-135 Brompton Rd, SW1X 7QN
The best, best, best macaroons in London! Order the hot chocolate, which is as thick as posh Nutella, and the liquorice and raspberry macaroons. The manager, Pascal, has as much swagger as the gold, Versailles-esque interior. It's a great place for people watching, but go on a Thursday or Friday to avoid the weekend crowds.
7. City Arts and Music Project70-74 City Rd, EC1Y 2BJ
This venue is a small, no-frills basement where the vibes flow easily. The upstairs bar has live music at the weekends, and come 11pm, you can go downstairs to enjoy whichever club night is on.
8. The Wonder Room at Selfridges400 Oxford St, W1A 1AB
The Wonder Room is one of those places you can waste a load of hours and cash. But it's completely worth it. Allow yourself to get lost in the bling, the expensive objects and the weird and wonderful books and CDs. The room is a museum of pretty things, so bring your wallet and go on pay day.
9. Cycling in Highgate
I hate the gym, so I find the best (and cheapest way) to keep fit is cycling. Highgate is a great area for cycling because it feels like the countryside. It also has about a thousand steep hills, so it's the most effective work out for the thighs.
10. Hair Botox at Daniel Galvin58-60 George St, W1U 7ET
No needles or injections are involved in this quick treatment. It is literally a miracle, as it makes hair look thicker and glossier in about 25 minutes. It lasts for about ten washes, so at £21, it is a bargain.
Secret LDN
1. Enjoy a Sunday lunch at the London Wetland CentreQueen Elizabeth's Walk, SW13 9WT (020 8409 4400). Hammersmith tube then 283 bus.
Under the Heathrow flightpath, feathered arrivals land from all over the world. Kids will love it and it's a chance for all budding 'twitchers' to practise their photo skills.
2. Have a drink at the Nell Gwynne Tavern1-2 Bull Inn Court, Strand, WC2R 0NP (020 7240 5579).
Lost down a narrow alley off the Strand, this tiny boozer retains a local feel despite its location near touristy Covent Garden. The alleyways and gardens running from Embankment to Covent Garden - and up to King's Cross - will allow you to escape the crowds and discover a London seemingly untouched by time.
3. Tour Lincoln's InnLincoln's Inn Fields, Chancery Lane, WC2A 3TL.
Lincoln's Inn is full of treasures, such as the Old Hall, which predates Christopher Columbus's voyage to the New World (and where the opening scene of Dickens's Bleak House is set), or the chapel where poet John Donne ('Never send to know for whom the bell tolls; It tolls for thee') preached in the early 1600s. There is a regular tour on the first Friday of each month: meet at 2pm at the gatehouse on Lincoln's Inn Fields (£5).
4. See the dinosaurs in Crystal PalaceThicket Rd, SE20 8DT.
The restored Dinosaur Park was the world's first theme park and shows full-size dinosaurs hiding among trees and lakes. Reflecting Victorian notions of what the prehistoric beasts looked like, some are distinctly odd but conjure up fond folk memories of the glorious Crystal Palace – built for the Great Exhibition in Hyde Park of 1851, moved to Sydenham Hill in south London in 1854, destroyed by fire in 1936.
5. Sit for a quiet moment in Notre Dame de France5 Leicester Place, WC2H 7BX.
This is a French Catholic church just off Leicester Square, next to the Prince Charles Cinema. Built on the circular site of a burnt-down 'Panorama', it houses Jean Cocteau murals and also services Soho's Chinese community and the francophone West Africa community. Pick the right time and you might see a colourful African wedding.
6. Make a call from the first red phone boxPiccadilly, W1J OBD.
This is to be found inside the gates of the Royal Academy on Piccadilly. The two boxes here are the actual 1924 prototypes designed by architect Giles Gilbert Scott of Bankside and Battersea fame.
7. Go lion hunting
Walk through the alleyways of the City on Sunday and you have the place to yourself. Now is a good time to look up and around to spot the oddities, such as the huge number of sculpted lions left over from Britain's imperial past: sculptures, door knockers, keystones etc. They're everywhere you look...
8. Admire the war memorials at Hyde Park Corner
The Royal Artillery Memorial by Charles Sargeant Jagger is magnificent, showing a gunner in a crucifixion pose and a dead soldier under a poncho – both very controversial at the time. The naked 'The Boy David' memorial to the Machine Gun Corps is one of London's finest nudes, too.
9. Enjoy a martini in Dukes Hotel35-36 St James's Place, SW1A 1NY.
The best in London. They only let you have two, so go next door to the American Bar at the Stafford for a comparison, and ballast yourself there with the best hamburger in London.
10. Dance rockabilly-style till 5am at Ye Olde Axe in Shoreditch69 Hackney Rd, E2 8ET.
But don't arrive before midnight, as it's a strip pub until then. Pass the waiting time in one of the many atmospheric pubs or coffee shops nearby, or grab a Vietnamese meal on Kingsland Road.
This Strange City
1. Wherever you go, walk
There's no view from the tube. Walk, or use Boris bikes where possible (the bikes are free for the first 30 minutes), or mainline trains if not.
2. Stay late at the Tate
For a more relaxed way to view our lovely Tate galleries, go to their 'lates'. Tate Modern is open every Friday and Saturday till 10pm, and Tate Britain stays open on the first Friday of the month, 6pm-10pm. Enjoy the performances, talks and a glass of wine.
3. See an underground concert in Brunel's Thames TunnelRailway Avenue, London, SE16 4LF.
The tunnel at Rotherhithe, built by Marc and Isambard Kingdom Brunel, is an astonishing concert venue. Wonderful music events are combined with an introduction to the construction of this amazing – though flawed – piece of Victorian engineering.
4. Get involved with the community at Arnold CircusCalvert Avenue, E2 7ES.
Arnold Circus is at the centre of Britain's first council estate. These beautiful arts and crafts buildings had fallen into disrepair but the residents teamed together to repair the bandstand and now hold regular events there. Try joining in with a game of carrom (a board game) or listening to music.
5. See a gig at the Union ChapelCompton Terrace, N1 2UN.
It almost doesn't matter who you see – everyone sounds good in this wonderful wooden church interior. It has friendly staff, a cosy and eclectic bar and good food too.
Eat at E Pellicci332 Bethnal Green Rd, E2 0AG.
It's the best café in London. Wonderful, friendly staff, interesting history, and the food is always fantastic. NB: Closed on Sundays.
7. Walk in the footsteps of Jack the Ripper
Of all Jack the Ripper walks, this one is surely the most chilling and poetic. Your nameless guide appears at 7pm every night opposite Whitechapel Station. (Out of the mist, when there is mist). Best to book, as they take small groups only.
8. Browse the shelves at at Housmans bookshop5 Caledonian Rd, N1 9DX.
This charming not-for-profit bookstore specialises in radical and progressive political books. It also has a cracking £1 section.
9. Visit the Crossbones graveyard
The local community maintains Southwark's moving and unusual monument to London's outcast dead – women of ill repute who were denied a churchyard burial.
10. Walk the Regent's Canal
For a short walk, begin by perambulating through east London's lungs, Victoria Park; drop down to the canal path at Old Ford Lock; and make your way past the barges at Mile End, stopping for a pint at Broadway Market or in London Fields (The Pub on the Park is good).
Tiki Chris
1. Bury your face in a burrito
In only a few years, big, fresh and affordable burritos have become an established part of London's fast food scene. Benito's Hat, Chilango and Daddy Donkey have wrapped up the best reputations, and you can argue among yourselves who the top bean slinger is. Try anywhere else and results may vary. And here's a tip to maximize the taste: when choosing your salsa, get a little mild and little hot for flavour and heat.
2. Do brunch at Cookbook CaféOne Hamilton Place, Park Lane, W1J 7QY
Cookbook Cafe's weekend brunch is brilliant. Just make sure you're hungry when you give it a go. The unlimited menu has a market table of seasonal dishes which includes the best pastrami outside New York, eggs any way, freshly made waffles and pancakes, a carvery-centric yet veggie-friendly selection of mains, tasty desserts… and bottomless drinks. The damage for such a feast is £49. And the bloody Mary is worth paying extra for – it's possibly the best in London. It's not cheap, but considering the quality, variety and quantity of the food and drinks, brunch at the Cookbook Cafe is excellent value for money. Plus, the restaurant is steps from Hyde Park for post-face-stuffing ambling.
3. Eat frogs' legs at Royal Dragon or Cay TreRoyal Dragon 30 Gerrard St, W1D 6JS | Cay Tre 301 Old St, EC1V 9LA, 42-43 Dean St, W1D 4QA
The French don't have a monopoly on frog's legs. Chinatown mainstay Royal Dragon on Gerrard Street and Vietnamese restaurant Cay Tre (Old Street and Soho) offer these no-cholesterol, lean, delicious treats. A massive heap of Kung Po frogs' legs at Royal Dragon is perfectly binge-able and definitely hot. Cay Tre's "wicked" crispy frogs' legs with lemongrass and capsicum (at the Old Street location) or crispy salt and pepper style (Soho) are real palate pleasers.
4. Drink sherryVarnishers Yard, Regents Quarter, N1 9FD
A sherry bar in London? What a fino idea! Not just for grandma at Christmas anymore, sherry is one of the tastiest excuses to raise a glass, and Bar Pepito is a great place to do it. In the same secret courtyard as Spanish restaurant Camino (they have the same owner), Bar Pepito is a tiny place with a hefty list of 15 sherries, a delectable smattering of tapas and a rustic atmosphere that'll have you forgetting you're so close to King's Cross.
5. Get pampered at Alfred Dunhill2 Davies St, W1K 3DJ
"Committed to advancing the pursuit of male indulgence", the Barber at Alfred Dunhill offers an exquisite wet shave and hot towel face massage. The treatment features several towel changes, gradually going from tepid to super hot. The last towel is icy, leaving you with ultra-smooth cheeks. Booking is recommended, but unless you visit at lunchtime, staff should be able to accommodate you after a short and extremely comfortable wait in this Mayfair establishment.
6. Get a Thai massage at Thai Therapeutics26 Beauchamp Place, SW3 1NJ, 39 Thurloe St, SW7 2LQ
Thai massage is great for relieving the tension that builds up in your shoulders and lower back from sitting hunched over a desk all day. An hour at the hands of an expertly trained therapist relieves as much as it reinvigorates, and the benefits of a quality massage last a while. A week later, you still feel a little more limber and looser. Clean, friendly and centrally located, Thai Therapeutics offers a number of services, as well as great discounts if you can book a weekday morning appointment.
Paul A Young Fine Chocolates33 Camden Passage, London, N1 8EA
Now with locations in Angel, The City and a flagship in Soho, Paul and crew create some of London's finest chocolates. They eschew preservatives and additives for fresh herbs and spices, organic essential oils and fresh fruits. Everything is handmade, and the vast majority of the chocolates are created in the shops' downstairs kitchens. They have arguably the best brownies in London, and the sea salted caramels are to die for.
8. Take a Cuban cigar audio tour in Mayfair
Cities in Sound's Cuban Cigar Walk audio tour is an excellent way to experience the tony streets of Mayfair and St James's. History buffs and cigar smokers in particular should find this tour worthwhile. You hit four of London's world-class cigar stores and smoking venues, as well as other fascinating spots, as you take in the history of Cuba's most famous export and its ties to one of London's spiffiest postcodes.
9. View Velasquez at the National GalleryTrafalgar Square, WC2N 5DN
A photorealistic portrait artist long before photography was even contemplated as a reality, Diego Velasquez was a "painter of painters", or at least that's what Manet thought of him. A good long look at Velasquez's "Christ in the House of Martha and Mary" and "The Toilet of Venus" (aka "The Rokeby Venus") will make clear why he's so celebrated. These and a number of his other important works are on view at the National Gallery and should be reason enough to duck out of the office for a prolonged lunch break. That his paintings can be seen for free makes a visit a no brainer.
10. Walk the Regent's Canal
Enjoy a scenic stroll from Paddington Basin to the Thames at Limehouse (or vice versa), replete with bobbling canal boats, swans, fabulous pubs and some of London's best graffiti. Time it right on a Saturday and you can have a foodie pit stop amongst all the hipsters at Broadway Market or check out the scene around Camden Market. The best stretch is from the eastern portal of the Islington Tunnel to the river.
Tired of London, Tired of Life
1. Cross Westminster Bridge as Big Ben chimesWhitehall, London, SW1A 0AA
It is no coincidence that the huge bell in Westminster Clock Tower, cast at the Whitechapel Bell Foundry and installed in 1859, plays such an important role in the national psyche. The sound of the bell chiming to mark the hour as you cross the bridge is enough to stir even the most cynical Londoner.
2. Attend Notting Hill Carnival
Held each August Bank Holiday since 1966, the Notting Hill Carnival is the largest carnival in Europe and the second largest in the world. Attracting up to a million revellers, it is an excuse for people from all walks of life to mark the end of the summer in style with one of the world's best street parties.
3. Cycle the Thames Path
Cycling is the best way to see London, and one of the best cycling routes follows the Thames past all the major landmarks of Central London on a well-signposted route. It even boasts substantial off-road sections.
4. Visit 19 Princelet Street19 Princelet Street, E1 6QH
Originally built in 1719 as a Huguenot weaver's home and extended in 1869 by the then Jewish owners who turned it into a synagogue, 19 Princelet Street is an East London gem, open to the public only a few days a year. Possession of the crumbling building was passed to a charity in the 1980s, and they are struggling to raise £3 million to ensure its protection.
5. Take in the view from the Royal Observatory, GreenwichBlackheath Avenue, SE10 8XJ
The view from the Royal Observatory in Greenwich overlooks the rest of the World Heritage Site at Greenwich, which includes Old Naval College and takes in the River Thames and the towers of Canary Wharf beyond. It is one of London's best views and has inspired Londoners for generations.
6. Walk on Hampstead Heath in the snowHighgate Rd, NW3 7JR
When snow begins to settle, Hampstead Heath immediately becomes a mecca for walkers and sledgers keen to take advantage to the slopes on Parliament Hill. The view into London is magical, and any cold extremities can be warmed by the fire of a Hampstead pub afterwards.
7. Cruise the Thames at sunset
There is nothing quite like taking a boat trip to make the most of a fantastic London sunset, cruising from west to east as the sun slips away. It is a magical time of the day to be out on the Thames.
8. Drink in the Jerusalem Tavern55 Briton St, EC1M 5UQ
Built on the site of a medieval tavern of the same name, Clerkenwell's Jerusalem Tavern is a magical little pub which is as beautiful inside as it is out. It is a friendly place for after-workers and tourists to mix over excellent ales from the St Peter's brewery.
9. Watch storms roll in over BlackheathShooters Hill Rd, London, SE3 0TY
The view across Blackheath, where Wat Tyler rallied his supporters for the Peasants' Revolt of 1381, has changed less than could be expected over the years, and as storms roll in from the west, it is possible to imagine what it might have looked like then, before the A2 was laid across it and One Canada Square rose up beyond.
10. Watch the engines at Crossness Pumping StationBelvedere Rd, SE2 9AQ
Located beside the Thames at Crossness in south-east London, the huge engines at Crossness Pumping Station are only open to the public on occasional weekends, but it is well worth a visit. The inside of the sewage pumping station, opened in 1865 as part of the redevelopment of the London sewers, is an engineering marvel.
Thoroughly Modern Milly

Herald Rating: 4/5
Address: 936 Beach Rd, Waiake, Torbay
We came here because it was a sunny day and the idea of a beachside brunch was appetising.
Parking was easy on the roadside in front.
We walked in and immediately thought inside was fairly plain, so the tables outside - and the sea view - won, hands down.
The most unusual thing on the menu was, um, nothing really, Tides obviously focuses more its quality and service. Rightly so.
We ordered from the lunch side of the brunch/lunch menus - the lamb salad ($17) of lamb fillet marinaded in a dry rub of Moroccan spices and a mixed leaf salad garnished with dried apricots, citrus prune, and orange segments, with a lemon vinaigrette; and the open chicken sandwich ($16.50), which came with cajun spice, bacon, avocado, tomatoes, lettuce and roasted garlic aioli and side of fries. Both meals were superb, both in presentation and standard. The fries were judged top-notch, just like homemade ones. Delicious.
The service was welcoming and helpful. The meal was slightly slow to arrive, but with the sun and the sea to ponder, we weren't complaining.
The coffee was Altura blend and just right.
We recommend if you come here choose a sunny day and prepare for a leisurely and relaxing brunch - or lunch. And did I mention the view?
Overall we thought Tides is definitely worth the drive up to Torbay. We'll be back.

Tours canceled at Missouri State Pennitentiary through Oct. 2
Website promises refunds or vouchers for ticket holders
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. - Tours at the former Missouri State Penitentiary in Jefferson City have been canceled until October 2.
According to an official post on the historic site's webpage, "the property owners are assessing some site issues in the coming days" due to "unforeseen circumstances."
The message, posted this week, says anyone currently holding a ticket through Oct. 2 will be contacted about a refund or a voucher for a future tour.
Tours at the prison are scheduled for Fridays and Saturdays through November, with occasional dates during the week. Most remaining tours were sold out Saturday night.
The Missouri State Penitentiary received its first inmate in 1836 and closed in 2004. At that time, it was the oldest prison west of the Mississippi River.

Genre: Realistic fiction
Number of pages: 224
What's the basic storyline?
The day Cassie is born, the mayor of Old Lower Grange pulls a lever that floods the town. The citizens cheer as they begin their new lives in new houses at New Lower Grange. Twelve years later, Cassie finds herself wondering what secrets lie beneath the lake. She and her friend Liam discover the hidden past someone tried so hard to cover up.
Are the characters believable?
I would say they are. I could relate to them easily, and they definitely seem like people I would want to meet! Cassie, the main character, is the first baby born in New Lower Grange, which makes her special.
On a scale of 1 to 10 (10 being best), how would you rate this book?
I would give Below a 9. It is kind of hard to keep up with, but it is a great and interesting story. I really liked this book because I could relate to Cassie, her friendships, and how she spent her summer. Plus, the book has a fascinating mystery.

One need look no further than the name to figure out that Jackson's Blue Ribbon Pub, owned by Mark Zierath and his brother, Daniel, isn't your average bar. Although the name is a bit of an homage to a certain beverage, the "blue ribbon" stands for quality - in food and service. (Jackson is the name of Daniel's son.)
The Zierath brothers opened Jackson's - on the corner of 113th Street and Bluemound Road, in the former home of Pitch's and a few other restaurants - March 8. Their aim is to create a different kind of pub: "Jackson's is really down to earth," Mark says. "It's a friendly, neighborhood place that happens to serve really good food."
To make sure the food is good, the Zieraths hired a fully trained, accredited chef with years of experience to create pub food that is made from scratch every day.
"We use only high-end, quality fresh ingredients," Mark explains. "Everything is made from scratch, whether it's the hand-stuffed jalapenos, the hand-breaded chicken tenders or the mozzarella sticks that we cut on our own. Nothing is frozen."
Although they've only been open a little more than a month, there already are customer favorites, including the open-faced rib-eye sandwich ($11.95), the grilled cheese BLT ($7.95), the Friday fish fry ($8.95 to $11.95) or the homemade pizzas ($7.95 to $9.95, plus $1 per topping). There also is a brunch on Sunday that features a variety of traditional menu items.
For Brewers fans, Jackson's offers a shuttle to all home games.
Ziereth hopes the secret of the pub's success will be in the customers' hands: "We're all about choices. You tell us what you want. Our menus are constantly expanding and changing as time goes on."
Here's hoping that's the secret formula.

Lois Heimer's Quote was "I love J Gilbert! I have been a loyal customer for 8 years because they combine great style, quality, design, with amazing personal service and attention to detail"!
All of us at J Gilbert would like to Thank Our Armed Forces for all they do for our country.
As a current Armed Forces member or Veteran, with proof of identification we would like to give you a 10% discount on all purchases.
Congratulations to two of our longtime friends and loyal customers.
Nothing is more rewarding then having beautiful women shop our store!
love shopping at J. Gilbert Footwear. I've purchased the best designer shoes there. The selection is fun and eclectic. They make a concerted effort to carry the best designer shoes, while being careful not to stock what the high end department stores have in large quantities. I love owning beautiful shoes that everybody else doesn't have. I have always received the best personal service from the sales staff, especially Yenni. Yenni has made a diligent effort to help me find exac…
When you can't run over to Paris… You can run into J Gilbert to find that perfect edgy fun new fashion….Having just returned from a summer in France, I wandered into J Gilbert a few weeks after returning home only to find my favorite outfit from Paris hanging on the rack! And it was my size.! The one in Paris was their last one and two sizes too large. To this day my JGilbert tag hangs on these pants just to remind me where I find my heart's desire! – Donna
I love going in to J. Gilbert, but only if I'm prepared to get out the wallet. I always find something I can't live without and am treated like an old friend who is given free rein to spend as much time as I'd like drooling and trying on. All those who work there are quite knowledgeable and quick with a smile. - Laurie
Great shoes, but the main reason is the fantastic staff! People hunt me down in the store aisle after seeing my shoes from a distance. – Sandy
Great shoes. Awesome customer service. Personal touch with a consideration of my particular tastes. I am kept informed of what is in the store as well as what is coming. Need I say more. Check it out. – Mary Ellen
As you know, I love your store. I'm not a big shopper, nor have I ever had a closet full of clothes and shoes. So, when I need something new I am looking for good quality and high style, J Gilbert is the place to go for that. I am always greeted by friendly and helpful sales people who actually remember items I have purchased even if a couple of years have gone by! They also have cool men's clothing and my husband has gotten 3 or 4 shirts that he really likes. My overall shopping experience at…

I put a little tag on my ornies I received ,who their from and the year,and if the world don't end this year I will be adding next year's to lololol
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
I put a little tag on my ornies I received ,who their from and the year,and if the world don't end this year I will be adding next year's to lololol
The ornaments here some crochetted, some knitted, some quilted, hand stitched, machine embroidered, ball ornaments with pretty sequins and fabric.. wooden deer and all sorts of others that i surely missed. It is so fun to see how different they are. Idea central. What a great book: Handmade Ornaments by Quilting Board Members.. sheesh how to's on each page we could get rich! I bought a felt ornament book Fa la la felt Ornaments for some ridiculous amount of cash and it has 20 or so different ornaments in it. Great pictures but sure would have liked more ideas for the money. lots of modern ideas .. we have tons of variety here! so good for you ladies (and gentlemen?) we are fantastic (grin). Oh and grann of 6 makes beautiful ornaments out of the lace they are worthy of hanging in the window all winter long as snowflakes dont end at Christmas up here in the mountains.
Here today... why what a lucky bunch we are.
Brat, that's a nice idea, but what would we do with the proceeds?? Who would organize putting the book together?
Prayers and cards are most helpful right now, but for sure we can sure brighten her day down the road, but it's going to be several weeks or months yet. She calls and is grateful for the prayers, but stuff is burdensome for her right now. Right now she's in a gas line and has been for many hours...
My son was in line eight hrs yesterday, car died twice.
when we send thngs to Krystina, lets not to forget small toiletries like q tips, asprin bandaids. These things add up and eat into your food budget.when she is settled we can even get her a giftcard for the food store.
That craft books sounds like a great idea. Something to think about next yr.
Money proceeds...to either the people whos ornies are in the book or
a fund...hurricane survivors.
Any way, im getting down from my soapbox.
own people like Krystina
Krystyna didn't get gas today. Tomorrow hopefully.
One has recieved hers from me several days ago but no word yet. The other one was notifed but not sure where it is!!!
You know if your a quilter when you cleanup your sewing room and your family thinks your moving out!! Author U/K Sue
I started the 2012 Ornament Swap Photo Album in the Picture section...here is the thread
2012 Christmas Ornament Swap Photo Album
It was fun to tool down the thread you posted and see all the different ornaments! What a great variety! I've been making different ornaments since this swap...can't seem to stop! Help!

We reduced fat by coating the eggplant with egg whites instead of whole eggs and baking, rather than frying, the slices for a lighter version of this classic.

Step 1
Preheat oven to 400°F. Coat two baking sheets and an 8-by-11 1/2-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
Step 2
Cut eggplants crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Whisk egg whites and water in a shallow dish until frothy. Combine breadcrumbs, 1/4 cup of the Parmesan, salt and pepper in another shallow dish. Dip the eggplant slices into the egg-white mixture, then coat with the breadcrumb mixture. (Discard any leftover breadcrumbs and egg white.) Arrange the eggplant slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheets. Bake for 15 minutes, turn the eggplant slices over, and bake until crisp and golden, about 15 minutes longer.
Step 3
Stir basil into tomato sauce. Spread about 1/2 cup of the sauce in the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Arrange half of the eggplant slices over the sauce, overlapping slightly. Spoon 1 cup of the remaining sauce over the eggplant and sprinkle with half of the mozzarella cheese. Add a layer of the remaining eggplant slices and top with the remaining sauce, mozzarella and Parmesan. Bake, uncovered, until the sauce bubbles and the top is golden, 15 to 20 minutes.
