Yesterday I did a review of the new Ancestry.com app for the iPhone, "Tree To Go". After writing the review, I decided to get something to eat. My wife and daughter were sick so I went to Panera to get us some soup. One great thing about Panera Bread is that they offer free wifi Internet access while you are in their store. So, while I was waiting for my order, I started playing around with the Ancestry app some more.
Let me give you a little background on the iPhone and the iPod Touch, just in case you are not sure of the difference. The two are essentially the same thing except that the iPhone makes phone calls and uses ATT's 3G network. The 3G network gives an iPhone user the ability to get on the Internet from anywhere within the 3G coverage area. You have probably seen the commercials on television where Verizon picks on ATT because their coverage map is better. Despite ATT's claims that their coverage is as good as Verizon, they are misleading you. ATT has great phone service but their 3G network is spotty. Verizon ads show the 3G maps. ATT ads show their phone coverage maps...two different things. Where I am in Virginia, ATT 3G service is terrible.
As for the iPod Touch, it cannot make phone calls and cannot access the 3G network. I should also mention that the iPhone has a digital picture and video camera installed, at least the newer ones do. So, what does this mean for the Ancestry app? A LOT!
While in Panera it dawned on me that I had not tried the app while being offline, without any Internet access. I only have an iPod Touch, not an actual iPhone, so I went outside of Panera where there was no wifi service. I then launched the Ancestry app and my dreams were somewhat crushed. For as many good things as I had to say about the app yesterday, I have just as many negatives now. If you do not have an Internet connection, you are out of luck!
I found out very quickly that, if you cannot get online, you have only very limited use of the app. You cannot add photos or make any changes to the people. It does let you look at what the app has already downloaded from the server. You can basically see the tree as it was the last time you were online. You can see the people, dates, locations, etc. but you cannot make changes. So, what does this mean? If I go to a cemetery, I cannot take a headstone photo and put it directly into my family tree if I do not have 3G service. In most cases an iPhone would do fine, as long as you are in the coverage area, but an iPod Touch would be useless. I also could not enter the dates I found from the tombstone because, there again, I am not connected to the Internet.
What Ancestry could do is redesign the app so that it stores your changes and then syncs with the online version the next time you have an Internet connection. That becomes a bit complicated if you have made changes to both the app file and your online file, which one is right and which is out of date? It could be done but that involves a lot of work on their part.
I do not want to come across as bashing the app. It is a great step forward for Ancestry but it still needs work. I want to be able to fully use the app myself, I just do not know if it is worth getting an iPhone at $300 plus $80 per month for the next 2 years! I can renew my Ancestry membership for the next 14 years for that kind of money.

Music Review: Snow Patrol's Fallen Empires
Snow Patrol's latest effort loses steam fast, falling back into the trap of a made-for-radio release.
It is no secret that in recent years Snow Patrol has garnered a reputation for abandoning their true sound for something more sellable and radio-ready. In the time since their first commercial success they've produced a series of overly mundane albums and a hit single ("Chasing Cars") so ordinary and dull it and they became the background white noise of the music community.
Which is why fanfare surrounding their sixth album, Fallen Empires, was limited if somewhat non-existent. Anyone interested in Snow Patrol when they had something to say had long stopped listening, let down so thoroughly by the bands self-imposed selling out that the album's anticipated release date was anything but anticipated.
So it was naturally surprising to be brought back to a time pre-Final Straw (2003) in the initial stages of Snow Patrol's latest effort. Maybe a little more pop-driven than anything on Songs for Polarbears (1998), Fallen Empires opens with three truly unique anthems that raise expectations, pulling the listener through the looking glass and back to a time Snow Patrol played music for music and not for millions. "I'll Never Let You Go," "Called Out In The Dark," and "The Weight Of Love," have a sort of new-age New Wave vibe, a winding synth guitar laid over a dead beat with the building vocals and lyrics of front man Gary Lightbody hitting new heights.
The songs are actually so well put together that through the first 14 minutes of the album you're convinced it's going to be good, that Snow Patrol has come through the petty stages of stardom and decided again to make music that mattered. Which is why the fall from there is so tragic. "This Isn't Everything You Are" is a classic reversion to "Chasing Cars," a radio-made single to sell. "The Garden Rules" is a travesty and just as you think the album is picking back up with "Fallen Empires," and "Berlin," Snow Patrol throws the whole thing out the window. The rest of the album, save maybe "The Symphony" is a lost cause.
This is a band that seems trapped, caught between the sound that brought them mainstream success and the type of music they want to play. They're scared to step too far away from the limelight for fear they might not find their way back to it. The first three tracks are evidence that they are trying to wander and we'll happily have them do that but the album as a whole is reflective of a greater identity crisis and never comes together as a cohesive project. At some point they will have to decide which way they're going: down the new age New Wave road or back into the abyss with the Top 40 crowd.
Best Tracks: Called Out In The Dark, The Weight of Love
Skip These: Lifening, The Garden Rules

What are people using for the undersuit (flightsuit)? Something charcoal grey and skin-tight? (does it need to be skin-tight?). I'm having a hard time finding compression fit pants, compression fit long sleeve shirts, and a looser fit short sleeve shirt, all in the SAME color. I can mix-and-match from different stores and vendors, but their grey's are always a bit different. I would prefer to buy everything from the same place. If need-be, we can make them from scratch (sew), but this is currently not the preferred option.
Also... How are you attaching the armor parts to your pants? I'm hesitant to make holes in anything that stretches, as it would violate the structural integrity of the garment, so things like snaps and chicago screws are out of the quesiton. Sewing of Velcro strips is questionable. I had the idea of magnets, but that means either getting the sew-able kind (see previous statement), or gluing them on.
Any BK's or Night Owls out there who can share some experience or some advice would be greatly appreciated (more by my wife, than by me ).


text: We are the producers of "Skate-To-Learn," a skating exhibition benefiting two charities focusing on after-school programs for children-Brooklyn Ice and Boys & Girls Clubs in New Jersey. The show will take place on Sunday, April 29, 2012 at 3:00 p.m. at Sport-O-Rama in Monsey, New York and we'd love it if any of you could attend (or donate money to our charities even if you can't come). We have a wonderful cast, featuring Ksenia Makarova, Gretchen Donlan and Andrew Speroff, Marissa Castelli and Simon Shnapir, Danielle Montalbano and Evgeni Krasnapolsky, Samantha Cesario, Nicole Rajic, James Schetelich, Ice Theatre of New York, Sean Conlon, Dalia Rivkin and a number of other national and sectional competitors. As teenagers and figure skaters ourselves, we know how important it is for children to have healthy and meaningful after-school activities and both of our charities offer wonderful after-school programs. Boys & Girls Clubs sponsor programs for children emphasizing character-building, sports, fitness and academics and much of the money raised by the show will go the Club in Lodi/Hackensack, which suffered extensive damage in Hurricane Irene. Brooklyn Ice, which was founded in 2005 by Violet Eagen, provides free skating lessons and enrichment classes in the off-season for children living near Brooklyn's Prospect Park. Last year, three of us co-produced Skate-To-Learn 2011, which raised over $18,000 for our charities and we're hoping that this year's show will be equally successful. So, please come to the show and have a great time. Tickets are $15 for adults, $10 for students/seniors and you can order tickets and find out more about the show at our website www.skate-to-learn.org or by e-mailing firstname.lastname@example.com.

Ever wondered what came before Group B? Well, it was Group 4. Homologation rally cars were required to be built in quantities of 400 road going versions to compete at international level.
Starting with one of the most amazing rally cars ever to compete on the World Rally Championship - The Ferrari 308 GTB
Jean Claude Andruet finished 2nd overall on the 1982 Tour of Corsica, the cars best WRC result. Andruet had also finished 2nd in the 1981 European Rally Championship at the wheel of a 308.
Jean-Claude Andruet and 'Biche' on the 1981 Tour Auto
Also known as the Tour de France Automobile, the Tour Auto was a rally that ran for one week, with cars travelling from French capital of Paris to Biarritz, near the Spanish border, I don't know how many stage miles the rally was run over, but Andruet won with a time of 8 hours 50 minutes, beating second place Bernard Darniche in a Lancia Stratos by nearly 5 minutes!!
It must have been quite something to see Andruet on that Tour Auto in 1981
Andruet on his way to second on the 1982 Tour de Corse
The cars pulled a crowd whenever they showed up around the major rallies in Europe.
Every schoolboys dream, a Ferrari rally car, then they grow up and buy a Porsche instead

Eli makes improbable plays to be sure and I'm a bit jealous that Romo can't have a team like the Giants around him. Romo has more or less wasted his career away on a team that rarely gives him all that much help. Not a perfect QB to be sure, but Romo could certainly go all the way in my opinion.

The Wall Street Thrill Ride
The last few weeks have been the worst kind of roller coaster for an investor with money in the stock market. Wall Street is seeing several factors influence trading and none of them are good. Debt crises are spreading across Europe, political dysfunction seems to be reaching new lows in Washington and the first ever downgrade of U.S. credit created what one analyst called "a perfect storm of selling." The effects have been dramatic and painful. Nearly 2.1 trillion dollars of capital have vanished as the market has shed nearly 15% of its value in the last month.* There are a lot of words that could describe the stock market right now, and "perfect" is probably not the first choice for many investors.
Motion Sickness
Sadly, this market volatility is nothing new, but it has gotten to the point that market observers need to take Dramamine before the bell rings. While some asset classes will suffer through volatility to get great returns, the stock market can make no such claims. The Dow Jones is trading at the same levels it did in 1999. NASDAQ is doing no better and is at nearly 50% off all time highs that were reached 11 years ago. Looking at these numbers, the Wall Street mantra that the U.S. stock market is the best vehicle for equity growth fails under any level of scrutiny.

East Palo Alto seeks your support in saying "no" to violence on Feb. 3
Original post made by Michael Levin, East Palo Alto, on Jan 25, 2007
EPA Peace and Unity organizers are seeking residents of Palo Alto and other nearby communities who will come to stand with them in solidarity.
Problems of crime, drugs and violence, especially as they involve youth, impact the entire society and have dynamics beyond the usually low-income neighborhoods where the symptoms manifest. Please come to support your neighbors in East Palo Alto.
For more information, send email to email@example.com or read some of the recent articles on the www.epa.net community web site.
Thank you, Michael Levin, EPA.net Director

I want to applaud you. It sometimes seems that people on here care more about bashing Israel, the President and America than they do about the terrible tragedy happening on the other side of 101.
The people of EPA deserve to live in peace!

2 of the 3 homicides happened WEST of 101, just a couple blocks from University Ave & not far from Newell Rd.
Yes, we deserve to live in peace. That means that the parents of these kids killing each other have to take responsibility for how they raise their kids. They are responsible for what their minors do. Innocent people can get hurt and killed, too. Thus far, the majority of the homicides are related to other crime problems. These issues are beyond the scope of the police, FBI, NTF and other law enforcement agencies.
Many of EPAs residents, such as myself, work in Palo Alto and surrounding cities, so we have a connection to places other than our own neighborhoods. I relate more to people in Palo Alto than EPA because EPA residents are not taking responsibility for their role with youth and are in denial about a great many things. They don't just lie to the media and other outsiders; they lie to themselves and each other about how violent their kids are and what their kids are really up to.
Why did the 18 year old killed last Sun. never go to school here in the US? He was only 15 when he came here. Was he illegal and too scared, or just uninterested and directed to go to school?
Typically, kids in low income areas kill each other and kids in higher income areas kill themselves. The mising Stanford student who likely committed suicide is one example; the murder of these 2 young ganbangers is another.

the cat suffered from witsneakiferous, so we had to buy mustache wax and a new bandana to treat the problem.

I spent years trying to teach myself the basics of electronics. I had a few basic electronics courses in engineering school, but they were high-end theory, and only years later did I find it unusual that there was never one instance of putting a soldering iron in any student's hand. I always equated assembling your own circuits to be something extremely complex (and it can be, of course) and something that I would likely never be able to grasp and implement as a hobby. Electronics wasn't my main area of study, but I recognized that a better understanding of it would likely have led my career in a different direction.
After college and a few years of working, I once again found myself wanting to create some things that would involve a better understanding of electronics than I possessed. So I went on the hunt for some books… found a few… and was sorely disappointed. Either the books were too simplistic with zero hands-on or they jumped to quickly into complex equations that I knew were overkill for the kinds of circuits I wanted to build. I discovered Make magazine back in 2005 and was immediately taken with many projects that looked possible with just a little bit of experience with a soldering iron (I had that!) and a better understanding of wiring up a schematic using a breadboard (I lacked that). But a new career started up in 2006, my first child arrived in 2007, and the next thing I knew… teaching myself electronics took a backseat. For a bit.
In late 2009, I picked up a copy of Make: Electronics by Charles Platt. A quick flip through the book told me that this was the one. I chose to document my experience as I worked through the book on a blog, including photos, videos, and commentary on each of the 36 projects. It was one of the most enjoyable self-training experiences of my life, and the bump in my understanding of electronics, reading schematics, breadboarding, soldering, and a slew of other skills increased immediately. (As a matter of fact, I still read through the book and my blog notes each year, just to keep it firm in my mind.)

Fleming back in style
Worcestershire Royals 200-9 (Harris 4-48)
Outlaws 204-5 (Fleming 73)
Notts Outlaws won by five wickets
The New Zealander produced a captain?s innings against Worcestershire to drag us out of the relegation zone and is confident the side can stay clear of the bottom three in the final round of matches.
He said: ?We?re putting away the coloured kit for a couple of weeks but we know what we want to do. We set our target to win our last three games and so far we?re on course to do that.
?Against Gloucestershire we managed to get across the line, which was a problem for us earlier in the season, and against Worcestershire we got the batting partnerships we needed to win the match.
?We?ve improved our one-day performances over the course of the summer and with that extra confidence I think we can definitely win the final game against Hampshire.?
Fleming chose to field first and again saw Ryan Sidebottom and AJ Harris claim wickets early on, before the medium pace of Mark Ealham and Gareth Clough tied the visitors down.
A solid start from Will Smith and Anurag Singh gave us the platform we needed and although Fleming was out before the finish, we still cantered home with more than three overs to go.

Dark Beauty; is dark storytelling, with perfect harmony between the subject and environment. It's graceful and elegant but deeper than surface and meaningful in mood. It's extreme but not forced. The Makeup and Hair and wardrobe are apart or even sometimes the set of the story. But it's all perfectly harmonized and tells the reader what darkness means in the editorial or photo series. One perfected shot freezing a frame of time for that one second and moment within the emotion of the story.
The darkness is within the movement or even sound of a story that touches you deeper than your consciousness and the dark beauty is the impact that hits your emotional consciousness.

It was the perfect way to discover Lisbon. Thank you we discover the fado. The appartment is very nice and near the down town. Thank you again for your good tips where to eat and what to see. We will do it again 2 days are not enough!
big experience and beautiful home!! Claudia and Rui are very nice and helpful. The room was really clean and comfortable. 5 stars!!!!
More than great hosts and guides, Claudia and Rui are lovely people and will give you an extra-ordinary human experience. We treasured our stay with them and definitely recommend it. No matter what you're looking for, you will find it thanks to them and find great thins you don't expect, it will be an wonderful adventure :)
Also, ideally located, the appartment is very cosy, spaceful and clean.
We had an amazing trip! Claudia is a warmhearted, friendly, open minded host. Moreover, the accommodation was wonderful (and easy to find). Probably best place to stay in Lisbon.
We cannot say enough about Claudia and Rui. We can only second what everyone else has said. They are terrific hosts who oriented us as soon as we walked in the door. The apartment is centrally located and was very clean and comfortable. Staying at their apartment was so much better than staying at a hotel. We felt like we were visiting friends instead of just being tourists. We also got the chance to see and hear Claudia perform as a professional fado singer. She has a terrific voice and it was a great treat. We hop to be able to see them again some time.
Mark and Jan
The appartment is really nearby the center. That makes it easy to explore this wonderful city. Everything was really in order. It's nice to talk with Claudia and Rui and above all they showed me some quit peticular places i will never forget. So, I'm very glad to have stayed at their place.They are great musicians too.
Great place to stay with perfect hosts. You feel right at home here! Too bad we could only stay for one night, we will surely return if we ever go back to Lisboa.
We met only Claudia and we were delighted. We got a piece of paper with instructions what to see in Lisbon (We've seen it all!) and she guided us through the city center!
Thank you very much!
Claudia and Rui were very lovely 5 star hosts. They are both super people... very relaxed, friendly and they went out of there way to be helpful when we needed it and to make us feel at home.
The room was very clean and comfortable and the apartment very convenient for walking to the centre city. The area is interesting and culturally colourful. We had an excellent time. I would definitely like to stay with them again.

In the summer of 2012, Monterey Institute of International Studies students Karla Micheli and Natalie Alfaro went to Nicaragua to explore its communities and showcase the struggling country's voices and faces.
The result was the exhibit "De Nicaragua," an educational photographic exhibit on display through April 14 at the Monterey Museum of Art in Monterey.
In a collection of about 30 photos, Micheli and Alfaro aimed to show a country that is often mischaracterized because of its tumultuous recent history. Still recovering from a revolution and civil war, the communities of Nicaragua are often miscast in the eyes of Americans, they said.
"One of the things I would get asked a lot is 'Nicaragua, is that in Africa?'" said Micheli, 29, a native of Michigan. "My dad and older people I talk to still think Nicaragua is in conflict. And the reality is that Nicaragua is one of the safest Latin American countries right now. They are the second poorest, but one of the safest."
The images are largely portraits, capturing humble residents, especially women and children, in tranquil moments at work, at home and at large.
Alfaro, 24, of Carmel Valley, was drawn to the project for personal reasons.
"My dad's from Nicaragua, and came here in 1979, in between the revolution and the civil war," said Alfaro. "He technically came as a refugee of the civil war."
Alfaro said the exhibit was a neat way to show people locally "a little bit about who I am and where I draw a lot of my culture from and how to present it back to the community I grew up in."
The pair received scholarships from MIIS to travel to the country and intern with the grassroots organization Viva Nicaragua. They were also involved in conducting a community needs assessment of a former squatter settlement called Solidaridad.
They interviewed politicians, economists and community members about the revolutions of the past, as well as present conditions and future hopes.
They curated the exhibit display around themes of women, education, health, the economy and how interweaved they all are.
"That's what we wanted to express," said Micheli, "the current situations and the faces and voices of the people."
"It's not our story (to tell)," said Alfaro. "It's their story." If you go

OMGoodness. That is a gorgeous quilt!! Should be hanging up in a quilt museum.
When it seems like the world is falling to pieces remember that the pieces are falling into place. We are nearing closer to the End Times.
I sew admire your tenacity ! Kudoo's to you for a marvelous quilt and teamwork !

WOW! Breath taking work.
My stash keeps me in stitches!
So incredibly beautiful. Wow, I'm almost speechless. Drool.
Oh my, that is so beautiful.
Wow, that is a breathtaking quilt. Love hand embroidery and embellishments on projects. Thanks for sharing.
Beautiful work. Thanks for sharing the link.
I have never seen such beautiful detail in a quilt. It would take hours to really see all the special work that went into it.
LyndaWhen a dying man asked his pastor "How long does it take to die?" his pastor's heartfelt reply was "A lifetime." Live life to the fullest, but stop now and then to enjoy the sunset.
Beautiful work. I don't think my fingers and eyes are up to the tiny details.
oh my goooodness! what everybody else said and then some...I love that she hand embroidered the house she grew up in.
It's amazing that her son of 16, could and would do all that with her. It will have it's own place in a museum some day.
Gooolly and shazam!
It is a blessing, to be a blessing !

Senator: ObamaCare opponents all birthers and racists; Update: Whitehouse denies, video added
posted at 10:12 am on December 21, 2009 by Ed Morrissey
Oh, I also forgot — we're militia members, too. Mark Steyn points us to these remarks by Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) in response to the stubborn opposition to Democrats' attempts to have the federal government reorder a sixth of the American economy. The video isn't available from yesterday's debate (C-SPA appears to be down), but Kerry Picket provides the transcript:
"Voting 'no' and hiding from the vote are the same result. Those of us on the floor see it. It was clear the three of them who did not cast their yes votes until all 60 Senate votes had been tallied and it was clear that the result was a foregone conclusion. And why? Why all this discord and discourtesy, all this unprecedented destructive action? All to break the momentum of our new young president.
They are desperate to break this president. They have ardent supporters who are nearly hysterical at the very election of President Barack Obama. The birthers, the fanatics, the people running around in right-wing militia and Aryan support groups, it is unbearable to them that President Barack Obama should exist. That is one powerful reason. It is not the only one."
So in which of these three groups does the Seattle Times editorial board belong? Their editorial does not come from a bastion of right-wing thinking. It comes from a newspaper that backed Barack Obama for President and who cheerleads for universal coverage, in a state that regularly elects liberals to the Beltway. The Seattle Times says that it's time Congress smelled the coffee and put ObamaCare out of its misery, and started focusing on the real crisis in the US, and it strongly implies that Congress has botched the job thus far:
THE health-care dance in Washington, D.C., has gone on long enough. Congress needs to focus on the economy and set health care aside.
This is a change of position for us. This page supported Barack Obama for president, enthusiastically. We have supported the health-care effort until now. We still support universal coverage as a social goal.
But the longer the fight goes on, the more it feels that the timing is all wrong. The economy is wounded. Employers are hurting. The time to think about loading employers with new burdens is when they are strong. Not now.
Right now, Congress needs to focus on the economy. It needs to follow the lead of Sen. Maria Cantwell and re-enact Glass-Steagall, the law that separated investment banking from commercial banking and for 50 years helped maintain sanity on Wall Street. It needs to bolster the antitrust laws. It needs to lower the estate tax.
It needs to target the rest of the stimulus money at things that really stimulate — all of these actions to provide breathing room to small- and middle-sized family businesses that were once the backbone of the economy and can be again.
Oh, those right-wing militia members and their racist impulses! Why, it's positively Aryan to worry about the economy ahead of Democrats' attempts to seize control of the health-care system! Sheldon Whitehouse has a nice spot at the re-education camp for the Seattle Times, right next to the coffeemaker.
When an idiot can't answer an argument, he tosses ad hominem bombs in an attempt to silence his critics and provide cover for his intellectual deficiencies. When a politician does it, we should all wonder why he's unable to provide support for his position. In Whitehouse's case, it may be either that he's a foul-mouthed fool educated far beyond his mental capacity to process the information, or that he's defending an indefensible position and has nothing better to offer. Or, in Whitehouse's case, it could easily be both.
Update: Whitehouse denied that he said this when Kerry asked him to explain, but as this video shows, Whitehouse was lying:
If he's standing by the speech, then he needs to explain how his denial could possibly be valid. So he's not just a gasbag demagogue, he's a lying gasbag demagogue.
Update II: Stacy McCain has been all over this, too — including in our Green Room. Be sure to read his report on Jon Kyl's response.

Los Santos
|Grand Theft Auto V
|San Andreas
- This page is about Los Santos in Grand Theft Auto V. Did you mean Los Santos in GTA San Andreas?
Los Santos is a fictional city existing in the upcoming Grand Theft Auto V, based on the real-life city of Los Angeles, California. The city is portrayed in a contemporary time period, which is intended to be present-day around the date of the game's release, sometime in the spring of 2013.
Unusually, the entire map will be open to the player right from the start of the game, rather than being restricted to a small corner or island until reaching missions that open up access to other portions of the map. This is in keeping with GTA V's philosophy of letting the player do whatever he/she wants to do, rather than being forced to do certain things at a certain time in a certain way. Rockstar also felt the map was too large for the player to be restrained to a certain area.
Although sharing similar characteristics and landmarks as the city's appearance in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, the physical layout is completely remade, not being a like-for-like copy of the city's previous map.

So, the other day I found out the big homie Stan Evans was living down the block right here in Bushwick. Damn thats weird, cuz I never met homie after years of shredding and probably being in the same building a couple million time's in the past. We were chopping it up the other night & thougth maybe for those of you that don't know dude, like i did'nt, we could have a little showcase of some of his photos from the last few years. Here are a few of my favorite. Enjoy.
– Descriptions by Stan
Zach Leach Pow Shot – Utah Backcountry – You would never know it from this photo but Zach is a guy who learned how to snowboard on the east coast. He used to dance on rails but after he moved to Utah he learned the wonders of powder. He's one of the few snowboarders I know, that seems to get better with age.
Zach Leach Gap Shot – Wyoming Backcountry
Zach Leach Waxing Boards – Salt Lake City, UT
Gigi Ruf – Cliff – Brighton, UT – Gigi is one of my favorite snowboarders to watch. Simply because you never know what to expect. He has finesse and style but occasionally he opens a crazy can of whoop ass. Funny thing about this shot. The first hit he misjudged the take off and landed on some rocks. What's even crazier is he went back up did it again and landed it.
Gigi Ruf – Floor – Salt Lake City, UT – Occasionally misjudging the consequences means paying the price. A rock ride gone wrong put Gigi out for a few days but luck and angels were watching over Christian.
Gretchen Bleiler Portrait – Miami, FL – Gretchen is one of my favorite snowboarders of all time. She loves snowboarding but yet even at the end of a long day, she always takes time to sign an autograph for a fan and say a kind word. While some people may rest on what they've done she's always looking new ways to challenge herself and use here notoriety to bring light to things she truly cares about. Being around her makes you want to be a better human and this photo really captures her personality.
Gretchen Bleiler Method – Powder Mountain, UT She's also got a savage method and is no slouch to freeriding.
Danny Kass Pillows – Utah Backcountry – It's always fun taking pipe riders to new terrain. I'm always curious to see how they will interpret it something without 22 walls and a defined start and finish. Danny Kass smashing pillows.
Danny Kass Portraits – Utah Backcountry
Dan Brisse Gap – Salt Lake City – Where Urban Gaps began. Dan called me one night to shoot this bomb drop a few blocks from my house. The drop ended being a pretty sweet but Dan is pretty intense guy and is constantly trying to figure out what to do next? Half joking I pointed to a road gap at our left and said he could launch that next. Dan got a crazy look in his eye and all of a sudden I knew we were coming back. 2 days later some urban snowboarding history was made. I don't think this gap has ever been done since, which is pretty rare in Utah.
Dan Brisse On Ground – Park City, UT – Sooner or later if you play with fire you are going to get burned. 270 on to 180 out gone wrong. The general public really has no idea how gnarly snowboarding is but I've had friends paralyzed and some die. Once you've seen those things up close it changes you.
Travis Rice Portrait – Jackson Hole, WY – The best thing to come out of Wyoming since those Cowboy Bumper sticker. Travis Rice is Jackson Hole.
Travis Rice Jump – Wyoming Backcountry – Do you want to live on the edge of insanity? Do you want to see passion unhinged? Do you want to see someone leap buildings in a single bound? Spend a day with Travis Rice.
Louie Vito Half Pipe _ Park City, UT – Lately Louie is my favorite snowboarder to shoot. He's always on time, has a good attitude and keeps the crew laughing. He's the funny little bro everyone wishes they had. He even taught me some sweet dance moves.
Louie Vito Portrait _ Salt Lake City, UT
JJ Thomas Pow Puff _ Utah Backcountry – This pillow popper of JJ is probably one of my favorite photo of all time. It's not particularly dangerous or mindblowing but everyone who sees it and snowboards gets it. It's that feeling of floating and the anticipation of landing in fresh pow. It's magical.
JJ Thomas Portrait _ Salt Lake City, UT – JJ hates my portrait sessions. He's always trying to wrap it up quickly and get out of there but the funny thing is we always end up getting a cool photo and after its all said and done he always asks when are we gonna take some more photos?
Shaun White Action – Park City, UT – Shaun is one of the gnarliest snowboarders alive period. Lately he has been blasting 1st hit methods in the 30ft range. What most people don't realize is if he caught his toeside edge coming back into the pipe at that height he would most likely be dead. So really, every time he drops in and you get to watch it on X- Games or Dew Tour or Youtube he's risking his neck. So haters show a little respect and remember snowboarding started as a way for individuals to express themselves however they wanted, not by telling others how they should be. For the record in 2013 I am hoping for more cheetah print pants, more smoke alarms and more black eye mugshots. At least homie is keeping it interesting.

The UTSA Athletics Department is making arrangements for a fan bus to this first-round game, contingent on having enough people to fill the bus. Additionally, the athletics department will reserve hotel rooms in Lubbock, but fans will be responsible for reserving and paying for rooms.
If UTSA is victorious in the first-round game, a second bus trip will be made from UTSA to Lubbock for the second-round game Tuesday, March 24. Fans from the first trip that choose to remain in Lubbock between games can return to UTSA following the second game March 25, provided they purchase a ticket for this second bus trip.
The approximate cost for each bus trip is $75, including a game ticket and a seat on the bus. Hotel room rates will be available shortly. When prices are determined, it will be possible to purchase game tickets and bus seats separately.
Expressing interest in the bus trip does not obligate anyone to make the trip. When exact prices are established, those expressing interest will be notified of the trip itinerary and payment deadline.

Self-Styled with Elliot Aronow: Sweatshirts for the Smart Man
Think you can't wear sweatshirts? Elliot shows you how.
One question I get asked a lot by fashion-curious bros is how to wear a sweatshirt without looking like you are a busboy, or worse, some "Artisanal Coffee" stroller daddy who just gave up on life.
My response is simple: go classic with a crew neck (no hood, no zip) and choose understated, manly colors/washes like heather grey or navy blue. I like this style from American Apparel, particularly in the "zinc" wash. And don't even get me started on how much fun you can have digging up gems like this on eBay.
The idea is to look collegiate and/or bohemian, not like some schlub who got lost on the way to the gym. Think early photos of the Rolling Stones or Warhol in the mid-1960s. Neat. Neat. Neat.
Bear in mind, I am not barring you from throwing on whatever when you need to pump iron, but if you are going to join the civilized world, you need to please read the below.
Don't wear hoodies. Let me repeat that. Don't wear hoodies. Don't wear zip-ups.
Now that we are vibing together, I'd like to recommend some hot looks that you can easily pull off. The first is to wear a bright polo under your crew neck. Another is to pair your sweatshirt with dark fitted jeans and rich brown shoes, perhaps a chocolate desert boot or a tasseled loafer. You don't want to wear a sweatshirt with sneakers, but you already knew that. High/low makes this work.
As for the fit, make sure the sleeves are not too long and the body isn't too big and sacklike.
Aside from that, do you. Look awesome and make it look easy. Get at me and we can talk! @youngelz

Reviews of this property
I had booked the room for friends. The appartment looked rather cheap but the room seemed fine and the gentleman who gave me the keys was very friendly. "Of course it is not a four-star hotel," he said - but then, I didn't expect it to be. Unfortunately however, my friends later told me that there had been no towels in the room, that the bathroom was mouldy and in need of cleaning, and the shower curtain was just plain dirty. I wished I had inspected the place more closely so I could have prevented this embarrassment...
Hello There,
the accommodation was exactly the Beschreibung.Es has everything worked out great.
I will include in my next trip planning "Wimdu" again.
Greeting U.Arndt
die Unterkunft entsprach genau der Beschreibung.Es hat alles super geklappt.
Ich werde bei meiner nächsten Reiseplanung "Wimdu" wieder mit einbeziehen.
Gruß U.Arndt
The Quartier corresponded vol our expectations, it was functional and clean, the manager was friendly and knowledgeable. We were very pleased and would recommend the district ..
Axel and Jutta
Das Quartier entsprach vol unseren Vorstellungen, es war zweckmäßig eingerichtet und sauber, der Verwalter war freundlich und kompetent. Wir waren sehr zufrieden und würden das Quartier weiterempfehlen..
Axel und Jutta
Everything ok, as discussed. If you have time at home and drive off in a traffic jam, you come naturally later, what it yes today, for the purpose of coordination, are mobile.
Alles ok, wie besprochen. Wenn man pünktlich zu Hause losfährt und im Stau stehen muss, kommt man naturgemäß später, wofür es ja heutzutage, zwecks Koordination, Handys gibt.
Room handover well, rooms also. Location great, everything essential on foot easy to reach.
Zimmerübergabe gut, Zimmer auch. Lage super, alles wesentliche zu Fuß gut erreichbar.
The apartment is located in a very convenient area of Kiel, and the man with whom we had to do was very kind.
the room was large and comfortable, but not very clean. It was problematic for us was to discover that there was no wifi in the house as it is described in the card and this has been a big problem. Because in that part of Germany you are unable to connect to the internet anywhere for tourist information and logistical not in German.
L'appartamento si trova in una zona molto comoda di Kiel, e il signore con cui abbiamo avuto a che fare era molto gentile.
la stanza era ampia e accogliente, ma non pulitissima. La cosa invece problematica per noi è stata scoprire che non c'era la wifi in casa come invece descritto nella scheda e questo ha costituito un grosso problema. Anche perchè in quella zona della Germania non si riesce a collegarsi a internet da nessuna parte per avere informazioni turistiche e logistiche non in tedesco.
The keys worked as agreed. The room we have described, found in good condition. It was all right.
The location is very central and we had beautiful weather with the best 4 days in Kiel.
Die Schlüsselübergabe hat wie abgesprochen funktioniert. Das Zimmer haben wir wie beschrieben, in einem Guten Zustand vorgefunden. Es war alles in Ordnung.
Die Lage ist sehr zentral und wir hatten bei bestem Wetter 4 schöne Tage in Kiel.
That was good in Kiel! Searches for each of simple accommodation in Kiel, this offer is "Good and cheap". The parking garage is nearby (200m) and the city center and the port are easily explored on foot. So for those who want to spend a weekend or a day before or after the cruise in Kiel a good tip. Thanks for the polite and competent reception and briefing.
Das war gut in Kiel! Für jeden der eine einfache Unterbringung in Kiel sucht ist dieses Angebot "Gut und Günstig". Das Parkhaus ist in der Nähe (200m) und die Innenstadt und der Hafen sind gut zu Fuß zu erkunden. Also für alle die ein Wochenende oder einen Tag vor oder nach der Schiffsreise in Kiel verbringen wollen ein guter Tipp. Danke für die höfliche und kompetente Aufnahme und Einweisung.
Good place, good hosts, good city.
The friendly contact before and during my stay, the tasteful accommodation and quick access to the city center makes a return to Kiel and in the Gerhardstraße for me very likely!
Thanks a lot for this ...
Gute Unterkunft, gute Gastgeber, gute Stadt.
Der freundliche Kontakt vor und während meines Aufenthalts, die geschmackvolle Unterkunft und schnelle Anbindung ins Stadtzentrum macht eine Rückkehr nach Kiel und in die Gerhardstraße für mich sehr wahrscheinlich!
Vielen Dank dafür…

-Stock Marineland/Perfecto 1x 48" Unit (starter burnt out- awaiting new one so its out for now)
-Extra lighting is a 2x T5HO 48" Unit. Aftermarket China stuff.
-Not yet set up as i havent gotten the darn tank filled =/: 10lb co2 tank with Concoa co2 regulator body w/ Yikejasons body kit (Fabco needle valve, Clippard solenoid). Put together using joint compound not teflon tape!
-Cheap little Digital thermometer
-2x Albino Bushynose Pleco's (Live Gravel Vac's)
Hoping to get that co2 setup put together and ready to go just gotta get the darn tank filled.
Substrate is i believe 6 or 7 Bags of Eco-Complete.
To make my life easier i copied & pasted the order list for plants:
1 ea. Echinodorus Martii (Ruffle Sword) SM
2 ea. Echinodorus Bleheri (Amazon Sword) Pot
2 ea. Vallisneria Asiatica Var. Biwaensis (Corkscrew Val)
1 ea. Echinodorus Argentinensis (Rangeri) Pot
2 ea. Cryptocoryne Crispatula var. Balansae pot
3 ea. Java Fern Narrow Leaf
4 ea. Java Fern (Microsorium Pteropus)
2 ea. Cryptocoryne Wendtii Red Pot
2 ea. Vallisneria Gigantea (Jungle Val)
1 ea. Echinodorus Cordifolius (Radican) Pot
1 ea. Aponogeton Capuronii
2 ea. Vallisneria Spiralis (Italian Val)
1 ea. Cryptocoryne Undulata Pot
3 ea. Java Moss (Vesicularia Dubyana)
1 ea. Cryptocoryne Spiralis Pot XL
1 ea. Anubias Barteri Var. Broadleaf Pot
1 ea. Anubias Barteri Var. Nana
A giant Marimo ball and a few small/medium ones.
All of that is in the tank and as far as i can tell everything is doin alright. Java fern is already budding and have a few plants which i will be taking off in a week or so. Amazon swords did melt but theyre already 6" or so (one pretty much totally melted the other only lost 4 or 5 leaves). the grasses are doing great and are already at the top of the tank and have 1' or so just floating around in the currents lol. The "Cryptocoryne Wendtii Red" is doing great too. around 1' high or so. Ill get pictures up later today hopefully. The moss, which i ended up not using and just throwing into the tank, is growing alright (and unfortunately getting everywhere and making a mess =/.. Might transfer the extra moss to my 30g just to let it grow freely as theres practically no plants there.. only 1 kind that for some reason wouldnt grow in my 75g but is going pretty well in my 30g..??). For ferts i have a few root tabs in the tank (totally forgot to put new ones and its been like 3 months haha. CRAP), as well as the Rootmedic liquid ferts. During theyre awesome sale where it was almost 50% off, i got the 500ml set (i think its 500?) of macro's & micros and then got the set of refills for 80$ or whatever (only cost me 50something then) so the extra jugs are stored under my tank. From what i understand they should still be good to use for another year so yeah. My marimo balls are... well.. no noticable change yet. Ill let ya know in 4 or 5 years .
Anyhow thats all i can think of. Pictures to come soon!
|woops just saw this now. Nope i got it like that. Came from Perfecto/Marineland.
|Hey, nice tank and I like the stand and canopy. Did you build that?
|oo its about time for some updated pics now that the moss has grown out and stuff =o. hopefully tomorrow ill get some up.
|yea lol i love it so does anyone else thats seen it its so cool to play with.. its probably 6" in diameter =O.
|thats a massive moss ball in the corner lol

|By the way, ignore those time stamps. Its not 2007, its just that the camera is a bit off on the date lol.
AquariumNoob's New 75G Tank!!!
Well, Figured now that i got the camera back, id post some pictures of my 75g! Its a pretty cheap 8MP Polaroid, and i dont know how to use the camera to get nicer pictures, but these were the best i could get (i took each picture like 5 times lol)..
My Equipment:
Perfecto(Marineland) 75g Tank With stand and canopy
Marineland Emperor 400 (yes its an HOB But the water is full so there isnt much agitation, just a lot of water flow on the top of the tank)
Eheim 2217
Random China brand 2x54w T5HO
Coralife digital thermo
10lb co2 tank
Concoa co2 regulator body with Yikejasons body kit (Fabco needle valve, Clippard solenoid). Put together using joint compound not teflon tape!
Aqueon 300 Watt Submersible Heater
-Will add more eventually as im sure i forgot something
Plants (a few have been removed since so some that are on the list may not be there anymore):
Myriophyllum Pinnatum
Hygrophila Angustifolia
I had water wisteria but i got rid of it because it was too thick and spread out for my liking, and made my tank look like a freakin salad bowl lol.
Also got 1 Giant marimo, 2 Medium marimos, and 3 Small marimo's (not nano, small.. around 1.5"). The moss tree (trying it out- we'll see how it ends up) on the far right near the wall has Java moss on it. Of the 3 rocks, two had xmas moss and the 3rd had java (forgot which =/ gotta ID em again lol). The little bamboo structure on the right has Java moss on it. Putting some bamboo in there (got a bit more that i have yet to put together- gona have to order a bit more moss or wait maybe till the rest grows out and use what i take off =P) for my to-be shrimp to play with.. for now i got some snails in there that must have hitched a ride with some of the plants. hoping to get rid of em if i end up with snails). Id suggest everyone have marimo balls. Coolest things ever and so fun to pet! Fluffier than my dogs =P. I got the rocks on the left side from some guy on ebay.. 30$ for all of those rocks, shipped from some quarry in nevada. soaked em in hot water for a few hours to make sure there was nothing bad on/in em.. so far dont seem to be causing any trouble as far as i can tell. its great. Especially if you have shy fish and shrimp and stuff.. gives them places to sneak into.. its a pain in the butt to clean there though haha.
By the way, the co2 isnt set up in the tank yet.
Gravel: Petco brand rocks, a mix of pea and plain old gravel.. mainly pea on the right side, with the left side being the larger gravel (naturally, it got a bit mixed on the right.).
Ferts: Currently only rootmedic root tabs, waiting for some more root tabs and rootmedic's liquid ferts to arrive in the mail.

"The Eagles have
been pretty consistent with their public statements about wanting DeSean
Jackson back with the team in 2012.
According to Adam Schefter of ESPN, that might not represent their full take
on the situation. Schefter reported Friday that the team is open to
listening to trade offers for Jackson after they use the franchise tag on
Whats with the contradictory information?

If the Eagles do want to trade Jackson, it would make sense to say nothing
but positive things about him in public to downplay any character concerns that
might linger from Jacksons sulking about his contract status. Their public
statements of happiness about a continued relationship with Jackson could also
be designed to solicit offers to their liking as opposed to ones for a player
that other teams know you are looking to unload.

The trouble with that angle is that if the Eagles really didnt want Jackson,
they could be taking a big risk by slapping the franchise tag on him in hopes of
finding a trade partner. They could then rescind the franchise tag the Eagles
have
done that twice before if Jackson didnt sign it, but that seems like an a
strange way to play things in this wide receiver market. Jackson could forestall
any chance of that happening by signing the tender quickly, something that seems
likely given how little chance everyone thinks there is that the two sides reach
agreement on a long-term deal.

Either way, the Eagles are almost certain to tag Jackson, so theres no
reason for them not to listen to trade offers that come their way. They can
always say no and keep Jackson so why rule it out before you know what someone
might give up for him?"

Tibetan / Vajrayana
Vajrayana Buddhism is most closely associated with Tibet and can be characterized by the figure of the siddha, the master whose spiritual realization is so profound that he or she has power over the phenomenal world, and in whom the profundity and vastness of absolute truth is fully and completely manifested. Many of our most well-known authors come from this tradition of Tibetan Buddhism .
[Note: The tags for the various schools are not definitive as many books span multiple traditions, etc. They are meant to use as a starting point for exploring this collection.]

With profound wisdom, he shows how visual representations of the sacred in paintings, sculptures, mandalas, and stupas can be an essential support to practice throughout the path.

You don't have to remind me, I know they skated terribly in the LP.Let me remind you how K&S skated this for you.
You never know how Moskvina's past #1 would skate. This LP has so much more transitions and choreography than past programs. They might not be able to perform this piece to its potential. They aren't used to adding so much more transitions between elements. And judging from all kind of mistakes they had with simpler programs, I don't think it's possible.What I really liked in this program were the transitions and the choreography. The "weaknesses of B&S" that you pointed out won't change my mind. I still think this program would look a lot better if performed by Tamara's past students. You can adapt the lifts to make up for Berezhnaya's so-called lack of flexibility but you won't make K&S crossovers as good as B&S. Then, I agree that B&S are not CoP skaters, but the program would be more beautiful to watch. Didn't say it would earn more points!
I agree, Moskvina is a genius. It's just sad that she tried so hard to push K/S to the top, and they just couldn't do it. The effort she put into this pair is incredible. The return isn't much.And yet, despite hating the music and not loving the pair, I loved the program. That's how great Moskvina is.
As said, there could be lots different possibilities...if hao wants . I have no doubt he can skate to 2018.. And maybe by then he retires . Cheng will team up with other skater....it's so common now to change partner, isn't it?
Euros 2010, where she just had the triple toe error (and the odd part in the middle where she seemed to forget what she was doing) and Euros 2011
Berezhnaya is natually very flexible and bent with graceful lines and controls. She has beautiful turn out that their spread eagle is so perfect. She didn't use the flexibility everywhere, only when needed.

Premium, potent North American catnip that is all natural and from renewable sources - good for the planet and great for you cat! Free toy inside! Read More
Premium, potent North American catnip that is all natural and from renewable sources - good for the planet and great for your cat! Highest potency available for maximum excitement. Your cat will love you for it. Plus free toy.
- Brand: Kong
- Size: 2 oz
Reviews (2)
"3 out of 4 cats say it's great"
Premium must be the word for this catnip. One of my cats doesn't respond to catnip at all, and that was the case with Kong, but the other two are catnip lovers, and they go extra crazy for Kong Natural Premium Catnip. A stray that we took in a couple of weeks ago also went wild for Kong catnip - probably the happiest catnip lover I have seen. We also appreciate that it's grown in North America. The 2-ounce jar is surprisingly large and lasts quite a while, too. For best results, rub catnip between your fingers to crush before sprinkling on a scratching pad or using elsewhere.
"Happy cats"
This is the only catnip my cats will eat/play with/roll around in. I've purchased many different kinds and they insist on this!

wonder if hes a monk follower too. :lol: :lol: :lol:
I may be the newbie here but thanks for the site, I have loved "Rat Rod" bikes since I was a kid and still riding today. I love it because it doesn't take a lot of money to have a nice looking ride just creativity and a little patience.
Well done Steve. I really enjoy the site and building my own "Rat-Rod" bikes. I'm also glad to hear about your mission work and faith. Keep up the good work and God Bless!
This is a very nice bike sight I really love it! Amen on doing it for the Lord!!!!
I come from a great Christian back ground.
just a quick chime in...
I'm from Sydney, Australia and I too am a Christian. In fact I work full time planting a new church in a new housing development.
Bike are also a cheap way for me to exercise some of my hotrodding frustration. This forum is great. Thanx for all the work to get it up and running.
Very cool! Welcome. My wife's cousin, her husband, and kids are missionaries in Australia, sponsored by Wycliffe Bible Translators.
tHANKS FOR SETTING UP THIS SITE! I just joined today and have no idea how to post anything. i dont know if this message will be read but if so i need help. :|
well you need help, thats what were here for! post something in the how to section. 8)
Great site cant wait to post some cool rides.....cudos out there for the guy who got me to this site with a 1960s little 500 bike.I just started collecting those.Your dad would be proud those bikes are loved.
new too rat rod bike
love the art side
and the custom work
Great site
hope to have many hours of fun
thanks Dan Ks roadmaster
This site has me stoked to build a full custom rat rod bike!! I'm sure the wife will be thrilled! Her 1938 Ladies Schwinn Excelsior is likely to go on the back burner. Thanks so much for stepping out and filling the void!
Just joined the site. Have been lurking for a while, love the bikes, have parts to build some of my own. Just need some time. I do have a question. Anybody got any info on a 1970's Sears Spyder 24 inch with single speed bendix coaster hub? Picked one up today for $10 and wondered what it's worth?
Re: 1969 Schwinn Pea Picker Original
I found this site as I was searching for a place to sell my bike. I have a vintage 1969 Schwinn Pea Picker (krate) completely original including the tires. It has been stored upside down to keep the weight off the tires. I'm a bit apprehensive about selling it but we are selling my parent's home in Michigan and I would have to ship it to me. I thought maybe it's time to give up my treasure and let someone else enjoy this wonderful bike. Does anybody have any idea where is the best place to advertise this aside from Ebay?
Hello everyone, my name is Bryan Felt and I am a bikeahollic!!!
I never realized how hard that would be. It wasn't till I found this website that I recognized my illness and that there are many others afflicted. I am looking forward to checking out every posting on this website to feed my addiction and find a high yet to be achieved.
My first taste of the drug was started in the latter '50s with a Western Flyer which ended up being crushed under my paper route. Varsity 10 speed (reason for the route), then a '60s Typhoon with heavy paperboy rack and ape hangers. Later, I moved on to a late '70s Spitfire.
Now there is:
Huffy 18 sp frame that was modified to fit 24 x 3 wheels and tires with coaster brake hub and motorcycle type forks.
Specialized Rock Hopper with 20 x 4.25 wheels and disc brakes.
Diamondback with 24 x 3, 5sp w/drum brake rear hub and drum brake front
Diamondback with 24 x 4.25 rear with 7 sp derailer and 24 x 3 front, disc brakes and motorcycle type forks again.
Univega 21sp (stocker),
Aluminum framed 20 x 3 wheels with discs
Cantilever frame with 24 x 3's on coaster brake for cruising.
All started life with 26" wheels. There are also 2 early Schwinn BMX bikes hanging in the garage (sons' bikes) Scrambler's I believe.
Am I confused??? I'd say 'YES', but it would probably be the drugs talking.
I salute you Sir. you have provided us a window to show our talents, hobbies, interests, whatever you call it. this is a great site. it gave us valuable information and ideas. thank you very much.
Stoked to have this type of forum, I can relate to the cool hobby of building a bike and havin that DIY kustom look. Who wants a mass prod. bike anyway....no personality. I have a 1960 Ford pickup that is one of a kind with all the kustom touches! I just moved to AZ and bought 2 cheap bike to cruize....JC Higgins and Hiawatha for cheap. They are 60's styled bikes and I'm stoked to share ideas and designs with others!
Keep it cool and enjoy the ride!! 8)
Just logged in from nj
aint too good at computers but have many bikes/parts to sell and share what I put together
couldnt get to post an intro
couldnt figure it out
maybe you can help me? thanks
This is the best forum on the web, A great place to hang out away from all the arguing and Cyber snobs on the web, let the other forums keep them. This place feels like family, all great people here, helpful and encouraging. Keep up the good work and may this place only grow larger and may it stay forever like it is now.
I don't think I would be "talking" to new friends across this country and especially our neighbors to the north without this forum.
Newb here. Where do we post our bike pics ? :?:
i have a Schwinn heavy duti refurbed . I'd like to post the before and after process.
Is there a part like on bmxmuseum where i can just post my stuff in my profile ??

Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Thanks for the tute!
If a woman's work is never done....why start?
Thanks Rhonda. I've used your first method before but might try the other methods some time. I don't like to piece. I've come to that conclusion but thanks to your tutorials I'm not "afraid" of some things like HST and Boston Blocks.
Happy Quilting!
Fantastic tutorial, I'm always looking for a better way! Thank you so much for sharing.
You just keep making a good thing better don't you. I prefer the strip method and to be honest, if I have to try to make a Boston Block, Half square, or even a Kansas Dugout, I have to do it your way. It's the way my brain functions now.

I always tack my blocks together where the seam is going to go through. So there is no stretching as the material is fixed in place where I am going to sew.
I have listened to all the comments and I am trying to improve the tutes so it takes into account those who need to not have any waste left. That isn't a consideration for me as I reuse everything down to threads but I do understand others' point of view.
Thank you It took a lot of time to photo plus process description. I still like the rough cut best; sooner to sew than cut.

but everyone else can. People are kinda like that. ~~
Thank you, Rhonda! As usual, you've outdone yourself! I've been using your old method, but I can see it needs tweeking.

All is well here; everyone came, saw, ate, divided up the leftovers, put the Great Room back to the way it was before, washed up most of the dirty dishes and went home. So you all divide the leftovers in the virtual RV...the ham, the turkey, the chicken and the dressing (two kinds), the baked beans, green beans with jowl & bacon, sweet potatoes, 5 cup salad, pies and brownies. Enough left here to do us a whole week and a half.
No, I have to have my kitchen if I am expected to cook; afraid that would be grounds for divorce with me. But each to their own and what they are happy with. Dh shows (as I do ) that we eat well. bf's daughters were quick to thank us for hosting the group so they could visit with their Mother & Father today. They were amazed at how BIG my kitchen is; most fun today was watching the daughters and granddaughter working in my kitchen...Guys got into a bit of the action too. Very informal, just ask where an item was, and I would point or tell them where it was in the kitchen. Funny, bf was telling my dh were some plates went today!!:o:o:o No one felt 'crowded' today with 19 people moving about in the kitchen or great room...little boys were running outside to see the guineas and ducks and chickens. Poor cats...between the two little dogs and kids, they disappeared during their visit here.
Thanks for the carrot recipe, Carrie...not what I would ever think of, but I love carrots and will try that delicious sounding recipe. Love the exchange of ideas here.
