very pretty. you have been busy. thank you for sharing your pictures
a heart truley loved never forgets.
happy quilting
I signed up yesterday. Been lurking a few weeks to see what this forum is. I like what I have seen.
I have a big pile of stash but not all is really quilt material. All my quilt material has not gotten moved here yet. I have too much. I do make quilts of different materials. So I do need to use up alot of material.
But I still buy a few pieces of special material. When the get some in it seems only one chance to get it. I am not getting to city much. Are the quilt blocks I have sewed be counted as part of my stash yet? They have to be set in to tops to make a quilt of them. I was trying to get rid of scraps before I moved and I cut little blocks and made 16 patch blocks. Lot of blocks sewed. I will set the blocks with slashing and some will have to have a border on each block to make it larger. I tie them. I will using material for borders and backs and slashing. It is piles up here.
So guess you can count me in as I do not want to buy more material. I will try to limit my buying to only elk, deer,antelope and bear. Moose too.
1. Does "stash" count if you bought the fabric for a specific quilt?
2. Does "stash" count if you raid your mother's that she inherited from her mother
I have completed ONE quilt top this year (June) that I started when my daughter was 15 (she's 32 now) She chose the pattern and I bought the fabric... I had to buy the backing material but the batting is cotton that my mother got from my grandmother's stash.
The 2nd quilt I'm working on is again one I bought the fabric for 17 years ago for my dd #2's quilt that she pick out the pattern and it's about 1/2 completed... goal is to have both completed by Dec 25, 2012
I have finished 5 quilts this year. First was John Deere tractor quilt, I and bought the panel and appliques several years ago. Green material for back I had and the white. Second quilt was 16 patch I had sewed the block for out of scrap before. I set in blue slashing and white back. I had the white and blue. I have did 3 more of the 16 pathes same way. Nothing bought this year I was used. I am working on the 6th quilt this year. Better say working on the quilt top at this point. I think I have figured it out. 16 patch with smaller blocks and each block has white border and will be set with blue. The other have of the blue sheet. All my 16 patches the blocks were not sewed this year but all came from scrap I had stacked back for quilts years ago. Blocks are multi colored and none alike. I do not quilt and I have tied them. I did buy 2 quilt batts and used them. I had the yarn for tieing. Really I have not made any head way on this stash. I have got to do it.
I really need this!! I just organized my stash & FOUND fabrics I didn't even remember buying. At least I didn't do what my sister did -- she bought the same pc. 3 x's. I'M IN!!
I am going to report that I used up at least 20 yards of stash this last weekend finishing my UFOs. So excited. But now for those scraps that have reproduced some more. I have six more tops to quilt that I had done. Guess we will be using up some more stash for sure. Loving getting it used so I will be able to enjoy some new stuff soon. Even my Christmas shash got used.
Life is short, live it while you still can. QuilterMomma
Stash busted. Quilted tree skirt made completely from stash (backing included)! No, I didn't finish it in time for Christmas. Yes, I finished it before the tree came down. Made from the remnants of many medieval costumes (we are Dagorhirrim!) Fabrics are crepe-backed satins and brocade, plus one mystery gold fabric.

Reviews of this property
This is the 2nd time we have stayed in this apartment. I absolutely love the location. It is right in the heart of the city with all the major attractions on your doorstep. The apartment itself is spacious and very well served. It has an extremely comfortable bed,wonderful bathroom with walk in shower and a well equipped kitchen.Our only negative was that due to the good weather it was necessary to sleep with the windows open. Due to the popularity of the area this did result in a few disturbed nights. This could be easily resolved by the provision of fans.This wouldn't put us off returning again.
What a gorgeous flat and a perfect location in Paris. Everything about this chic apartment was fantastic - great size, gorgeously comfortable bed, hotel style bathroom and very close to the metro. We were met by Moabat who had cleaned the apartment for our arrival nd everything was in good order. Very quick wifi and close to lots of amenities - Louvre, gorgeous foodie street, Pompidou Centre, metro for longer journeys. The street is noisy but this is the centre of Paris so to be expected and only added to the atmosphere and didn't distract from sleeping. Would recommend this apartment and would definitely stay again.
This appartment is really perfect, beautiful and we had a really good time there. The very central location beside the pedestrian zone and subway is really optimal, Very close to Les Halles and Louvre in the heart of Paris it was really nice to walk there. Elisa is very nice and friendly and everything was very easy. We will come back next year!
We had a wonderful stay at this apartment. Good location, good equipment, and a fair price. I highly recommend staying here. We will use this address again.
This apartment is in a central location in Paris near restaurants,paisserie,fromagerie,etc.It was perfect for a couple and two children.
Host does not exist. Contact anyone impossible. I forgot my electronic car key in the apartment, because, without warning, at 10 am already announced new tenants, and we were going to like on fire. A request to return the key, no one! There is no connection! Maybe it is necessary to expel the residents at 6 am? Will be more valuable things? Enter it in their practice, advise! 2 more days to try to contact, and then start all over the internet to talk about such hospitality "wimdu"!
Хозяина не существует. Связаться ни с кем невозможно. Я забыл электронный ключ от автомобиля в квартире, потому что, без всякого предупреждения, в 10 утра уже заявились новые жильцы, и мы собирались, как на пожаре. А попросить вернуть ключ- некого! Связи нет! Может, выгонять жильцов надо в 6 утра?! Будет больше оставаться ценных вещей?! Введите это в свою практику, советую! Еще 2 дня попытаюсь связаться, а потом по всему интернету начну рассказывать о таком гостеприимстве "wimdu"!
We spent 3 nights with our 2 children in this apartment very clean with a large bedroom, a large living room with sofa bed, a well equipped kitchen (except the hood that we have not managed to make it work) and good bathroom arranged.
the apartment is very well located in a nice neighborhood with cafes and restaurants nearby as well as a subway (path) and close walk to many interesting places. I highly recommend this property even if the person (very nice) that we have received almost no not speak French so easy to be understood.
Nous avons passé 3 nuits avec nos 2 enfants dans cet appartement très propre avec une grande chambre, un grand salon avec canapé lit une cuisine bien équipée ( sauf la hotte que nous n'avons pas réussi a faire fonctionner ) et une salle de bain bien agencée.
l'appartement est très bien situé dans un quartier agréable avec café et restaurants à proximité ainsi qu'une bouche de métro (sentier ) et proche à pieds de plusieurs lieux intéressants . Je recommande vivement ce logement même si la personne (très gentille) qui nous as reçu ne parlait presque pas français donc pas facile de se faire comprendre.
Thanks Roger for providing our family a great stay. We have 2 small Children and your apartment was perfect for our needs. Located closely to all the major attractions plus a well equipped for families to really a convenient and easy holiday. So much better than staying in a Hotel! would recommend to anyone!

text: The Philosophy Department faculty focus on developing a student's critical and independent thinking skills. The theme that runs constant throughout all philosophy course offerings is that ideas matter, that is, human history can be defined in large part by the ideas that have been promulgated by philosophers. For example, the United States Constitution would not be what it is without the ideas of the great Greek philosopher Plato, the challenging English political philosophers Thomas Hobbes and John Locke, or the French philosopher Montesquieu. The twentieth century would certainly be different were it not for the ideas of two of the nineteenth century's most prominent philosophers, Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel and Karl Marx. Critical thinking on moral issues is enhanced substantively by the ideas of influential philosophers such as Aristotle, Aquinas, Kant, Bentham, and Mill. Consequently, members of the Philosophy Department, in developing a student's critical and independent thinking, seek to make clear to students the critically important connection between ideas and the interdependent world in which they live. We welcome you to the world of ideas and the ongoing human search for the nature and meaning of life.

text: Maria's theme- Vibrant color with lots of movement with base fabric in Kaffe Fassett. I've only done one Kaffe quilt and it was a mysters. Had no idea how it would turn out but, I love it. It lives in my guest bedroom. Now I'd like one for me. I love pinks, reds, greens..... Don't particularly like matchy matchy so I integrate batiks with the Kaffe. I don't want to box anyone in on my rows... use your imagination and best judgement. I will love and treasure it.

It is with regret that Council have decided to discontinue the Individual League.
So few games have been played that the results of the league would be meaningless.
We have therefore closed the current season and have consigned the league table as it currently stands to history. You can still view the historical league table for this and the previous seasons, along with those for the team league. The menu has been reorganised to facilitate this.
The league website has been updated to cease displaying the current Individual League table or to provide facilities for entering results.
There was a fee of £10 for entering the League, and we will be offering a refund. Those who paid recently by paypal should have already received it. Others should email the Treasurer (treasurer AT britgo DOT org) with their account number and sort code, and we will make a refund.
In the meantime we intend to continue to support and encourage the progress of the Team League.

Michael Houstoun's reCYCLE, with the pianist tackling all 32 Beethoven Sonatas, has now begun its historic journey around the country.
Dean Zillwood's portrait on the programme cover caught the determination of this man, revisiting a project first undertaken in 1994.
Inside, Houstoun explains how the impulsive energy of youth has been tempered with, amongst other things, self-trust.
The concert began with the disarmingly simple Op 49 no 1, treated with no less gravity than mightier works yet to come.
The Andante was moulded with classical precision while the second movement had no fear of dancing hilarity.
In the F major Sonata, Op 10 no 2, one sensed a new brio as Houstoun encountered the unexpected twists and turns of its first movement and the Finale was a spinning top of a Presto.
Canadian pianist Glenn Gould once scorned the B flat Sonata of Op 22 as "the dud of the bunch" but Houstoun, with unerring fingers and pedalling, drew sonic bewitchery out of its whirring scales.
An Adagio that needed no apologies was sumptuously textured, its long singing melodies buoyantly aloft.
The Tempest Sonata turned on some magnificent storms, chartered by a pianist in deep communion with his instrument. Mysterious recitatives sheltered in pedalled mists, safe from striding bolts of sound.
In its Schubertian Adagio, Houstoun made us aware of the crucial silences and spaces between the notes.
Tonight's concert was to have ended with the A major Op 101 Sonata.
After an immaculately voiced opening, Houstoun enjoyed some lusty premonitions of Schumann in swaggering march time.
Despite being introduced by the shameful piping of a cell-phone, the Adagio came with just the requisite yearning of Beethoven's "sehnsuchtsvoll" directive, a beatific calm before Houstoun's marvelous meld of high counterpoint and low rondo frolics in the Finale.
Houstoun's Friday concert had not run its course. A broken piano string, investing the first movement of the Waldstein Sonata with an unwanted honky-tonk clang, was unable to be corrected.
Tonight, Houstoun generously completed the Sonata, the magisterial sweep of its Finale reminding me of Zillwood's penetrating image of a musician who, like Beethoven, is in love with the sheer primacy of sound.
What: Michael Houstoun
Where: Town Hall Concert Chamber
When: Saturday

Vote Yes on Proposition 32
Original post made by Hank Lawrence, Menlo Park: Sharon Heights, on Aug 23, 2012
According to the Legislative Analyst's office:
"A Yes vote on this measure means: Unions and corporations could not use money deducted from an employee's paycheck for political purposes. Unions, corporations, and government contractors would be subject to additional campaign finance restrictions."
Don Perata, the President pro tempore of the California State Senate from 2004 to 2008 said that the Union(s) are "the co-equal fourth branch of government."
It is ingrained in the California Democratic Party to give Unions a prominent seat at the legislative table and let the public be damned.
According to the Los Angeles Times:
"CTA (California Teacher's Association) is one of the biggest political spenders in California. It outpaced all other special interests, including corporate players such as telecommunications giant AT&T and the Chevron oil company, from 2000 through 2009, according to a state study. In that decade, the labor group shelled out more than $211 million in political contributions and lobbying expenses — roughly twice that of the next largest spender, the Service Employees International Union.
Since then it has spent nearly $40 million more, including $4.7 million to help Brown become governor, according to the union's filings with the secretary of state."
Web Link
Now the "Non-Partisan" League of Women Voters objects to Proposition 32 because it has a more adverse impact on the Unions. It does! Prop 32 does hurts the Unions more because they give more than companies and thus have more influence.
The League of Women Voters also complains that since companies don't engage in legalized theft (payroll deductions for political purposes) from their employees and the Unions do the it is somehow unfair to the Unions. The League of Women Voters is upset because Unions have an unfair advantage of the payroll deduction and it does not want the Unions to lose that unfair advantage. I like their logic.
As most people are aware the League of Women Voters is an unofficial arm of the Democratic Party. Its membership is heavily skewed towards women who are registered Democrats. It makes the specious claim that it is non-partisan because it does not endorse candidates. However, if you look at the measures they support they are almost always liberal causes supported by Democrats.

Hank Lawrence's opinion "As most people are aware the League of Women Voters is an unofficial arm of the Democratic Party."
Hank believes not only that, but the LWV is full of gosh durn WIMIN!!! Things ain't been the same since wimin got the right to vote. All downhill from there! Right, Hank? Keep 'em in the kitchen? Women shouldn't be able to control things, especially their healthcare and the right to make decisions about their own body.
Prop 32 is designed with loopholes for corporations and superpacs so big you can drive a truck through them.
32 is bad policy. Unfair. Doesn't stop the SuperPACs. Hank and his fringe will vote for it. Decide if you like Hank's world. Go read his other posts about politics. They're arrogant and full of rhetoric, name-calling, etc..
Thanks for reading, have a good day!

you forgot to mention all the public employee unions and other labor unions that are against 32 also. I have yet to delve fully into prop 32, but based upon the radio adds and who is putting them on alone - public employees unions and other labor unions - the folks that contribute THE MOST money to politicians to buy their favor, my inclination is to vote for it. I'm sick and tired of not having a seat at the table when our elected representatives are negotiating with these unions.

If you go to the Secretary of State's page the definition of Corporation is clear. It does not cover LLC, Partnerships, Insurance Co., Super PACs, individual billionaires, and multi-millionaire CEOs to name a few.
Corporations don't use payroll deductions for political purpose. That's like saying, "we're going to crack down on counterfeiting by collecting all the 3 dollar bills printed." Sounds good however, counterfeiters don't print 3 dollar bills.
It doesn't stop any corporation from using unlimited profits to contribute to state or local campaigns. And the Supreme Court already confirmed that Corporations have the same rights as individuals and therefore, can contribute unlimited funds to any campaign. Corporations already outspend unions 15-1.
Labor rights aren't etched in stone. They were won through politics and collective bargaining. So if you're the 99% that have to work for a living say, "good bye" to, vacation leave, health insurance, 8 hour work day, minimum wage, work place health and safety laws, overtime pay, unemployment, child labor laws, meal breaks, nurse patient ratios just to name a few.

So how about requiring publicly owned companies to get permission from shareholders before they make political contributions? After all, the shareholders are the real owners.
BTW: The health insurance industry contributed $86 million to the Chamber of Commerce in 2009, earmarked specifically for efforts to kill a public option in the ACA. Your insurance premium money at work. (Premiums went up 5% that year; inflation actually fell by 0.7.)

Oh my gosh. A group of AMERICANS wants to contribute money to politicians OPENLY and HONESTLY, so, let's stop that! Other Americans (who can't breath, die, vote, procreate, serve in the army... but can be owned by other Americans... which is against the LAW...) these Americans will be able to contribute ALL the money they want as long as it goes through a PAC...
Outlaw PACS and anonymous contributions that BRIBE our politicians and then outlaw unions from doing the same. Go ahead and TRY to outlaw their freedom of ($$) to buy "Free" speech to sway public opinion. Oddly you are seeing that the evil foul smelling dirty rotten communist unions LABEL their advertising.
As a UNION member I am asked "DO YOU WANT YOUR MONEY USED FOR POLITICAL PURPOSES?" Thank you my fellow Americans, for trying to protect my rights, but I would LIKE to save everyone the trouble of a huge lawsuit when you try to ram this down the unions' throats. What is your fear of people getting together with a common voice? Do you really want to spend the administrative cost for INDIVIDUAL bargaining? Doing the bargaining as collective, if you trust your representatives, saves you money.
Unions represent an ever smaller piece of the American work force. The Public Unions represent half of the remainining unions in America. Big Money in America wants to silence this last opposition voice. They have you running in fear. Unions are not killing America. Shoes made my New Balance made in America sell for LESS than those they get Communists to make over seas.
Contribute MORE to their pensions? Sure, if that's what it takes. You are all contributing 4.2% to your social security now. I'm paying more taxes to support your lack of funding, but, hey I'll up my 8.7% contribution to 10% as long as my boas puts in what used to be the Social Security amount in private business at 6.2%. There's no reason to toss out pensions or social security if we support one another. You want to trust the price of gold or Wall Street for your retirement? The Big Banks and Wall Street would LOVE to have that money and THAT is what this about. Plain and simple. Follow the money! We're going back to the pre Depression era of Laissez Faire... "FREE Market" because that worked so well! It worked really well so fat to toss us back into an "almost" depression, so sure, let's follow what these folks say is in our best interest and blame everything on the UNIONS..... damn their 5 day week... 8 hour days... 40 hour work weeks... over time pay.... health care.... Let's all work free and happy like the Chinese!! Big Money will take care of us! Just like they did in their wonderful company towns of days gone past. History? Who needs to think about THAT!

Labor unions have their place and need. Public employee unions do as well. The problem is that as a tax payer I have to fund your retirement which is better than anything available in the private sector. I have to fund your wages which are higher than comparable work in the private sector. I have to fund your paid vacation, which in Menlo Park is an insane six weeks. The deiffernce between the public and private sector is that the employer in the private sector is the one negotiating with the unions. In the public sector, the employer - the tax payer, has to rely on elected representatives to negotiate for them. What's the problem with that? THE PUBLIC EMPLOYEE UNIONS HAVE BOUGHT AND PAID FOR OUR REPRESENTATIVES! So they don't actually represent us and we have no seat at the negotiating table. We don't get to push back at what we see as unresonable demands. The politicians the unions have bought just roll over and give it to them. Then we as the tax payer get to pick up the tab.
Frankly, I'm sick of it and so are a whole lot of other people.

Why not have opt outs for employees. What about private sector Unions.

Employees don't own businesses, shareholders do.
If I own a restaurant, am I allowed to give some of my money to a political candidate without getting approval from my wait staff?

Playbook: Youklogy
On the flash fry of Kevin Youkilis, a career in fast-forward.
Tho' much is taken, much abides; and tho'
We are not now that strength which in old days
Moved earth and heaven; that which we are, we are.
(Tennyson, "Ulysses")
It's 2004. A young and ungodly creature is standing in the shadows of The Show, on the AAA fringes of MLB. He's 6'1" and 220 lbs., a caricature of human life, all upper body and puffed out like a pompous bird. He's built like a brick shithouse on stilts, with a stance that is categorically incorrect: feet too close together, arms too far apart. His ass is out over the batter's box and his bat is pointed back towards the pitcher, hands halfway up the barrel. His swing is even more absurd, like it should take years to happen, yet it flies off in a flash like a hammer locked, cocked and fired through the quiet streets of a small Midwestern town. Despite his youth, his patience at the plate is already well known; he unloads only to inside-out a ball for a double down the left field line. Otherwise, he walks, he stalks down to first base where he waits with all the patience required of his massive hulking form. He's a baseball anomaly, a freak not designed to play the game, with legs like Randy Johnson and a body like Refrigerator Perry. He is exemplary by no means, but plays baseball like a well-oiled machine.
Flash forward: it's 2012. He's huffing and puffing his way toward third. He has hit a triple, the last he will ever hit in the only uniform he has ever known. Over the last eight seasons he has seen much success: a .287/.388/.487 slash line, 133 home runs, 566 RBIs, 494 walks, three all-star selections, a gold glove and two World Series rings. But he has also seen time and age take their toll, his awkward, worn-down form decay from years of heavy-duty heart and hustle. He's seen his last pitch as a sock. He leaves the field to 38,000 standing in unison and singing an indescribable song:
Under any other management, Kevin Youkilis with his stance never corrected might have been overlooked as a major league–ready all-star. But under the ever-watchful eye of Theo Epstein, a Bill James disciple and Billy Beane enthusiast, Youkilis was a lock. A high-OBP kinda guy who plays with a constant chip on his shoulder, whether it should be there or not. In his prime (2007-2010) he hit .303/.401/.538 and averaged 5.5 wins above replacement a season. He played hard. He offered no apologies and made no excuses. He argued every third strike he ever had. He was Euclis, the Greek God of Walks, and he was a Sabermetricist's wet dream.
Which is why his sudden fall from grace was shocking. OBP guys, guys with a high baseball IQ who can get on base without unmooring the bat, tend to have long, useful careers. But something about his stance, his build or his hard-fought attitude towards his surroundings got the better of him and Youkilis began to decline. In 2010 he managed only 102 games and last year added only 18 more but was never quite the same hitter coming back from injury. This year the floundering and injuries continued and baseball being the game that it is, a game of timing and circumstance, gave one of its Gods its most untimely-yet-dignified demise: the Old Yeller Special.
Having to take a player like Youk out back is not an easy thing for a fan base to do, but it is understood; that which we are, we are. When Youkilis stopped hitting, when he stopped playing, all the grit and good memories in the world couldn't save him. As much as it pained the nation to see him go, we knew it was for the best; we knew it was better to see him walk away than continue to earn our ire and rot on the bench.
So goodbye, Kevin Youkilis; it's better to see you shot in Chicago than bruised and beaten in Boston.

Hello Junior Gunners!
How are you all doing? I bet you're all looking forward to the festive season.
I've been really busy in the run-up to Christmas!
I had a really exciting day on Tuesday, November 15 because one of my all time favourite Arsenal players came to the Emirates to launch a new DVD. Can you guess who it was? Yes it was Robert Pires! I kept the huge crowd that had gathered in the Armoury superstore busy while they were waiting for Robert to arrive. When he did we had a big cuddle.
Just two days later, the north London derby took place at Emirates Stadium. The game started at 12.45, so I was up and about early. First I went to the Armoury, then I met the teams as they arrived at the stadium. It was really nice to see former Gunners William Gallas and Emmanuel Adebayor again. Thierry Henry and Sol Campbell also came to watch the game. I really enjoyed the game and we showed great spirit to come back from a goal down to win 5-2 - the same score as last season! After the game I went up to box level to meet the fans, and even saw comedian Matt Lucas!
In the end, it was a really busy weekend for me. The day after the Tottenham game, I attended the first birthday party of Andre Santos' son.
Lots of people turned up, including some of the first-team squad. I was particularly happy to see Per Mertesacker, who had scored against Tottenham.
Next up was a Champions League game against Montpellier at the Emirates. We won 2-0 and qualified for the last 16 of the tournament in the process. It was a good result and I was pleased to meet Colin Firth, who starred in the film Fever Pitch - which is all about Arsenal!
We then had two difficult away games against Aston Villa and Everton and managed to get two hard-fought draws.
On Wednesday, December 5, I had a photo shoot to promote tours at the stadium, and the next day I was really busy - attending an Arsenal in the Community training session in Camden before rushing back to the Armoury for the signing session with Gervinho and Santi Cazorla.
Then, on Friday, December 7, I went along to meet some of our disabled supporters at their Christmas social evening. Aaron Ramsey made an appearance and answered some of the fans' questions.
We had our last home game before Christmas on Saturday. I was privileged to meet a group of Russian orphans before the match started. They were guests of Arsenal shareholder Mr Usmanov. It was a reall special match because the Club had dedicated it to the Arsenal Foundation. I went around the pitch with lots of helpers collecting money for the charity. The team managed to cap the day off well, winning 2-0 thanks to two Mikel Arteta penalties.
That's all for now.
Have a great Christmas!

Classic pavé link bracelet
Classic pavé link bracelet is rated out of 5 by 31.
Rated 5 out of 5 by jossiahloves from Fantabulous Statement Piece The pic does not do this bracelet any justice. This is a substantial bracelet thats a stand alone piece, its is big, extravagant, the stones are sparkly, and it definitely makes a statement. I bought this as an everyday piece to pair with my gold one watches, however, its so majestic that it went on my right hand on its own. Its beautiful enough for special and evening occassions too and I hope everyone that gets this bracelet loves it too.

Rated 5 out of 5 by forwardfashionforoldsouls from Sparkles like you wouldn't believe! I've been pining after this bracelet for ages, but the price tag put me off. I finally got a coupon code and was able to shave off a few dollars. I have to say that this is the perfect layering piece. It somehow manages to be just chunky enough to wear with other large bracelets or delicate ones. And it sparkles something fierce! Honestly, you have to see it in person to appreciate its glitter. I read some of the other comments that say that eventually the bracelet turned a darker color and some stones were lost. I imaging that after wearing it for years and very often that, yes, some stones will fall out. Also, perhaps it wouldn't change color if kept in its original bag? Since mine is still new I can't say about either of these comments yet. I've worn it all day for maybe 6 days and all the stones stayed in place. Only time will tell as to the oxidizing factor.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Tiffany from A touch of elegance To say that I was blown away when I received my bracelet is an understatement. It is simply beautiful in person. The bracelet adds the perfect final touch to your outfit.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Peggy from Beautiful statement bracelet I just love this bracelet! I had been watching it for awhile, initially seen on a few different style blogs and managed to snag it on sale. Yay! It's size and shimmer are what really make this piece. It is both classic and versatile. I purchased it for my sisters wedding to wear with a very formal gown, however just wore it to a casual evening party with a simple cotton dress. I have received endless compliments on it!! The size and fit of the bracelet are perfect, not too snug and not so large as to flop around on the wrist!
Date published: 2014-06-22
Rated 5 out of 5 by Isabella from Great everyday bracelet I got this bracelet over a year ago and I still wear it almost everyday! Not an overwhelming piece (but then again, I am 6'0" with long arms, maybe it will look different on very petite girls). Gold clasp has definitely faded a bit, but not very noticeable. So cute!

Egyptian authorities yesterday stepped up a campaign against a popular TV comedian accused of insulting the President, threatening to revoke the licence of a private TV station that airs his weekly programme and angrily dismissing United States criticism of legal proceedings against him.
The satirist, Bassem Youssef, was questioned by state prosecutors this week over accusations that he insulted Islamist President Mohammed Morsi and Islam. On his Jon Stewart-inspired show, Youssef frequently satirises everything from the President's policies to his mannerisms, as well as hardline Islamic clerics, while highlighting contradictions in their comments.
The questioning of Youssef, with arrest warrants issued days earlier against five anti-Government activists on charges of inciting unrest, have raised warnings by Morsi's opponents of a campaign to intimidate his critics.
A new case was opened yesterday, with prosecutors looking into whether participants in a talk show on another private channel who criticised the Youssef case "endangered national security".
Morsi's supporters deny any campaign, saying prosecutors are merely enforcing the law and insisting Youssef has crossed the line with his mockery.
The Youssef case turned into a side spat with Washington after US State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland on Tuesday spoke of a "disturbing trend" of growing restrictions on freedom of expression in Egypt, pointing to the questioning of Youssef and the arrest warrants.
"There does not seem to be an evenhanded application of justice here," Nuland added, saying the Egyptian Government has been slow to investigate police brutality or attacks on anti-Morsi protesters and journalists.
The Muslim Brotherhood's Freedom and Justice Party denounced Nuland's comments as "blatant interference" in Egypt's internal affairs.
Morsi's office joined in, criticising the US Embassy in Cairo after it tweeted a link to an episode of The Daily Show, in which host Stewart defended Youssef and criticised Morsi, saying it was undemocratic to prosecute the Egyptian comic.
Replying to the embassy on Twitter, the presidency wrote, "It's inappropriate for a diplomatic mission to engage in such negative political propaganda."
US Secretary of State John Kerry widened the criticism, warning that Egypt is at a "tipping point". He told reporters yesterday, "It is our hope that there is still time to be able to turn the corner. Recent arrests, the violence in the streets, the lack of inclusivity with respect to the opposition - in public ways to make a difference to the people of Egypt - are all of concern today."
Kerry added that the US was not supporting one man or one party of Egyptians; rather, "the dreams that they have tried to put into reality through their election and through their faith in the democratic process".
Egypt's top prosecutor, a Morsi appointee, asked state security prosecutors to investigate the head of another private TV network, ONTV, a presenter of a show on the network and a phone-in guest to the show over complaints they "disturbed public security" and insulted the judiciary, the state daily Al-Ahram and the Committee to Protect Journalists said.
The complaint was prompted when the guest, Shaimaa Abulkhair, a consultant with the New York-based CPJ, criticised the case against Youssef.
Morsi's office issued a statement denying that it was behind the prosecution's moves, noting that the prosecution is independent.
"The presidency underlines its complete respect for freedom of the expression and the press," the statement said. "All citizens have the right to expression without the restrictions that existed before the revolution" while "respecting the law".
Information Minister Abdel-Moneim Abdel-Maqsoud said the complaints against Youssef's show came from private citizens concerned over the prestige of Egypt's first freely elected President.
Youssef denies the charges of contempt for religion.
"Islam is a wonderful religion, it's a great and peaceful religion," Youssef, a Muslim himself, told CNN this week. "There are some people who claim to be the sole [representatives] of Islam; they are actually giving a bad image, and they're basically insulting the image of Islam."

With swarms, I attempt to shake the bulk of the bees to begin with if possible, and only vacuum the leftovers. So many swarms are completely tangled in bushes and have to be totally vacuumed. Any other vacuumers have an opinion ?

The Top 5 Quarterbacks In The NFL
Ranking the best quarterbacks in the game is a topic that is passionately debated by football fans. Are championships the leading gauge of the best quarterbacks? How about QB Rating? Is it yards, touchdowns, or wins? You know a good quarterback when you see one, but how exactly do you rank the cream of the crop?
According to BOLTHYPE, here are the top five quarterbacks in the NFL today:
1. Peyton Manning
As much as it may sicken Chargers fans, it's difficult to argue against the general consensus for the top two quarterbacks in the game, Peyton Manning and Tom Brady. In fact, many people would say the top two picks are interchangeable, however I would differ. Peyton doesn't have as many rings as Brady (his one to Brady's three), but the best QB is not the one with the most rings. For the last decade, Manning has been the prototype for what you want in an NFL player. Extremely smart, very gifted, and ultra-competitive, Manning has made the Colts a perennial Super Bowl threat without a consistent defense and with a sub-par offensive line. His record four NFL MVP awards reflect his dominance as a player, and he shows no signs of letting up now.
2. Tom Brady
While the best QB is not the one with the most rings, you still can't ignore Brady's three championships. Brady has a great understanding of the QB position, and uses his incredibly accurate arm to pick teams apart, as Chargers fans know all too well. Combined with a well-documented chip on his shoulder after being drafted late in the 2000 NFL draft, Brady may be the most difficult QB to beat every single Sunday.
3. Drew Brees
Let the debate continue: Brees or Philip Rivers, Rivers or Brees? After leaving San Diego for New Orleans, Brees seemed to get better and better. As a Saint, Brees is averaging over 4500 yards passing per season, he set a record for highest completion percentage in a season (70.62%), and became just the 2nd QB to throw for over 5000 yards in a season. And don't forget his Super Bowl victory following the 2009 season.
4. Philip Rivers
His talent at the quarterback position cannot be questioned. It seems that the only thing keeping him from getting recognized with the likes of Manning or Brady is the lack of a Super Bowl win, and San Diego has anything but the Chargers offense to blame for that. Rivers has proven to be a big-game QB, consistently pulling out victory after victory from the jaws of defeat. If he could have stopped meltdowns from any number of Chargers players in the playoffs, I'm confident he would already have a ring…maybe two.
5. Aaron Rodgers
Since taking over for the living legend that was Brett Favre, Rodgers has been a stud behind center. In his three years as a starter he has a .740 winning percentage, and shined in the playoffs last season as he led the Packers to another Super Bowl victory. At 28, I expect Rodgers to be one of the best QB's in the league for the next decade.
Quarterback is arguably the most important position in the field, and finding that franchise QB may be as difficult as winning a championship. To illustrate that point, can you name all the quarterbacks who started for the Chargers since Stan Humphries retired in 1997? There were eight in the six seasons before Philip Rivers was drafted in 2004!

I can't spell today for some reason). The last info she got back was that the bees match no known bees, but were similar to caucasians. I think I will check with her and see if she's heard anything new.

[quote user="BobbyD"][quote user="GMenNY21"][quote user="BobbyD"][quote user="Itlan"]I highly doubt anyone who is a Giants fan would go to a Titans board.
1. You're completely irrelevant. Sorry, but you are. Are you in the playoffs? The super bowl? We're focused on the Pats, not your sorry team.
2. You play in the AFC. Why would we care about ANY team in the AFC unless it's a head-to-head match-up? There's no rivalries, no one cares.
3. You have NO rings. 3 > 0 sorry. Soon to be a 4th.
And if you really think the Titans are a better team, or the AFC South is a tougher division.. I really don't know what to tell you.
Assuming he's a troll, I'm done talking to him, and I suggest the rest of you take this approach.[/quote]Puhlease explain to me, how we are irrelevant? And we just had a rough year, this year. The media had high expectations for us as did the fans, but injuries got to us. We'll be healthy next year and primed for a playoff run, assuming Luck is a dissapointment for thr Colts.[/quote]sure u guys make the playoffs once in a while, BUT u guys don't make any noise.. at all... IRRELEVANT[/quote]So that makes every team in your division (outside of Giants in 08) irrelevant?[/quote]
ummm the division has won 11 super bowls combines as compared to your divisions 1. There are usually 2 teams from the NFCE in the playoffs.... I could go on.

Discussion in 'Fan Zone' started by intelmax, Dec 4, 2012.
Here we go folks, its going to come down to week 17.
It's competitive but not because the teams are powerhouses slugging it out for conference supremacy.
It kind of resembles the NFCW a few years ago when the dialog was, "Well, somebody has to win it".
Kinda looking like it should be called the NFC Least.
I remember people saying something very similar last year.
Just think, if Dez's hand had come down an inch differently, we'd be alone in first place right now.
Yup and we all know an NFC East team won a Super Bowl.
Remember when people were talking about NFC East being the best position in football..
I'm not sure it isn't. Giants are Super Bowl champs and one team is 7-5 and two others are 6-6. The 3 top teams have shown they can play with anyone in this league.
And they have shown that they can lose to anybody in the league as well.
Parity just means we have more bad/inconsistent teams and the overall quality of football in the NFL now is not very good.
lol maybe for NY and Wash. We are losing 2 of the next 3. We barely beat a very bad Philly team at home and you people think we can beat decent teams? Its amazing how predictable this team and some of its fans are.
Yes it is debbie downer, yes it is.
What's going to be interesting is if we don't lose 2 of our next 3 will YOU show up and own up to it? Will pretend like you didn't say what you are saying now? That's the interesting part for YOU.
Hard to say that when the East holds so many SB titles including last year when people called it the NFC Least.
No he won't that's what is really funny.
I mean if you truly feel this way, why waste your time here? We are done right? Nah you are jut saying this because you want attention.
Crazy to think that we could be in 1st place by Sunday night if we beat Cincy, Giants lose to New Orleans, and Washington loses to Baltimore.
I doubt Washington loses to Baltimore......Giants losing to the saints? a Toss up.
You're probably right but with the way we've been playing it's just crazy to think that we could be in 1st place after week 14.
Agreed bro......I pray we are
And when the Championship is decided by something as inherently flukey as a single elimination tournament, being "the best" in this league doesn't really account for squat.
Very true, football is a one game deal you win you move on you lose and it is over. Records really mean little when you get into post season.

by Anne Lynam Goddard, ChildFund President and CEO
Having grown up in Kearny, N.J., including spending time working in Newark summer school programs, I applaud Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg's $100 million pledge to Newark's troubled school system.
An influx of cash and the publicity that accompanies high-profile donations may be just the infusion Newark needs to refocus on the education and well-being of its most precious resource — its children.
So kudos to you, Mr. Zuckerberg, and to your newly minted Startup: Education foundation. You are starting strong by reaching out to some of our country's most overlooked children. Only about half of Newark's students graduate high school.
We see those same low graduation rates among discouraged children in Mississippi, Texas, Oklahoma and South Dakota, where ChildFund has worked for decades, assisting young people and families in some of the most impoverished communities in America.
In ChildFund's work around the world, we see children forced to support their families rather than attend school. We encounter schools held under trees because there is no supporting infrastructure for education. We meet girls who don't attend school because there's no running water or toilets, and the bushes nearby offer no privacy.
It's a complex world with many needs — just as you're discovering, Mr. Zuckerberg, as you rapidly expand Facebook internationally.
With more than 500 million users now on Facebook, obviously you're thinking broadly when it comes to business.
I encourage you to think even wider as a philanthropist.
Some 70 percent of Facebook users are signing on from outside the United States.
Don't forget to consider that wider world, Mr. Zuckerberg. Let's talk.
I agree that Mark Zuckerberg did a good thing by donating a $100 million. As much as I would like the fact that U.S. students of poor families now can concentrate more on school, I wish Mr. Zuckerberg would do the same for students outside the county. It would be wonderful if he could help out with Sundanese victims of Darfur. I just saw independent film "Attack On Darfur" and am shocked at how bad it is over there.
Amen! I hope the NJ initiative was just the start of Mr. Zuckerberg's career as a philanthropist. Let's hope he follows in the footsteps of the Bill & Melinda Gates and Warren Buffet. There is so much good that can be done in the world through the support of programs aimed at long-term development and not only short-term aid.

United States Attorney Timothy J. Heaphy

Brian And Miranda Salyer Stole More Than $173,000
ABINGDON, VIRGINIA -- A couple from Lebanon, Virginia, who bilked several banks out of more than $173,000 by receiving 15 fraudulent education loans, pled guilty yesterday in the United States District Court for the Western District of Virginia to conspiracy to commit fraud.
Brian Salyer, 32 and his wife, Miranda Salyer, 29, both of Lebanon, Virginia, waived their right to indictment and pled guilty yesterday to an information. Brian Salyer pled guilty to one count of conspiracy to commit fraud and one count of aggravated identity theft. Miranda Salyer pled guilty to one count of conspiracy to commit fraud.
Educational loans allow motivated people the opportunity to better themselves at institutes of higher learning. Those loans are not meant to be criminal income streams for con-artists like the defendants in this case, United States Attorney Timothy J. Heaphy said today. It is our duty to protect the lending institutions who provide opportunities to students across the country from falling victim to schemes like the one uncovered in this case. I am proud of the work of OIG special agents in holding the Salyers accountable for their criminal actions, said Mary Mitchelson, acting Inspector General of the U.S. Department of Education. We will continue to aggressively pursue those who misappropriate education funds. America's students and taxpayers deserve nothing less.
According to a statement of facts entered today in court, beginning in 2004 and continuing until 2007, Brian and Miranda Salyer submitted 15 fraudulent student loan applications to various lending institutions. These applications caused false pay outs of more than $173,668 to be received by the couple. The loan applications were submitted to lenders in Colorado, Massachusetts, Florida and New York.
In order to secure many of the fraudulent loans, the couple used a fraudulent signature of Miranda Salyer's grandfather. The grandfather had previously agreed to co-sign for one student loan for hisgranddaughter, but not multiple loans. In addition to forging the Miranda's grandfather's signature, the couple also submitted information from his drivers license without his consent.
The investigation of the case was conducted by the U.S. Department of Education Office of Inspector General. Assistant United States Attorney Ashley B. Neese is prosecuting the case for the United States.

Architectural Digest Editor-in-Chief Margaret Russell to Address SCAD Class of 2014
Photo by Joshua McHugh, courtesy of SCAD.
Margaret Russell, the editor in chief of Architectural Digest, will address the Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD) graduating class of 2014 Saturday, May 31, at commencement ceremonies in Savannah and Atlanta. Russell will also receive an honorary doctor of humane letters degree.
Russell will speak to graduates at SCAD's 34th Savannah commencement ceremony, 9 a.m., at the Savannah Civic Center, 301 W. Oglethorpe Ave. She will then address graduates at SCAD Atlanta's 8th commencement ceremony, 6 p.m., at the Georgia World Congress Center, 285 Andrew Young International Blvd. N.W.
"In SCAD's milestone 35th year, we're delighted to welcome the incomparable Margaret Russell as our 2014 commencement speaker," said Paula Wallace, SCAD president and co-founder. "Margaret is the ultimate arbiter of design, and a role model to students throughout the SCAD community."
Russell is the editor in chief of Architectural Digest and archdigest.com, a position she has held since August 2010. Russell spearheaded a highly regarded redesign of the magazine, the relaunch of the website, and the launch of AD's tablet editions.
Prior to joining Architectural Digest, Russell served as VP/editor in chief of Elle Decor, a publication that she helped found in 1989. During her tenure, Russell also created elledecor.com and produced the best-selling Elle Decor book series.
Russell is committed to promoting art, design, and culture through charitable work, both in the New York area and nationally. She is a trustee of God's Love We Deliver and the Kips Bay Boys and Girls Club, having previously served on the boards of DIFFA and the Alpha Workshops. She has been instrumental in raising millions of dollars to support HIV/AIDS preventive-education and direct-care programs.
Russell is a presidential appointee to the Board of Trustees of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, and she's also a member of the Advisory Council of the Philip Johnson Glass House, a property of the National Trust for Historic Preservation. She lectures frequently on architecture and interior design and has been featured on numerous television shows, including Bravo's Top Design. She is the author of several books, among them So Chic and Style and Substance.
In 2008, Wallace honored Russell, along with Pierre Cardin and Jonathan Adler, at the Etoile Awards.
SCAD: The University for Creative Careers
The Savannah College of Art and Design is a private, nonprofit, accredited institution conferring bachelor's and master's degrees at distinctive locations and online to prepare talented students for professional careers. SCAD offers degrees in more than 40 majors.

I'd probably opt for the LEM, I've been set on the P30LS for a while, but at SHOT show I spent more time fiddling with a LEM equipped HK45 and fell in love. I recently acquired a HK45 V1 (DA/SA or Cocked & Locked with safety) and will probably covert it to the LEM and that's coming from a 1911 shooter that favors a thumb safety.
As for ammo, I don't think I've heard of anything the P30 won't digest.

The type family FF Info is named for its purpose: the movement of information. Its clean, modern lines are free from typographic fashion statements and technical wizardry. It was intended originally to be used on traffic signs, in stations, on buildings, etc. As space is at a premium in such situations, FF Info Display was designed to be narrow: it requires 15% less space than most of the typefaces currently used for signs. To compensate for the compactness of the letters themselves, the spacing has been slightly increased.
Reading signs is much different from reading text. Rather than mentally combining groups of words to form a sentence, we decipher letter by letter to come up with a sometimes surprising message. For this reason, it is important that characters be clearly differentiated. This is especially so for numerals. Some letter forms are easily confused because of their similarity; like lowercase i and l, or uppercase I and the number 1. In FF Info Display, this problem is solved with a serif at the top of the small i, a slight curve at the bottom of the small l, and serifs at the top and bottom of the uppercase I. Such methods are derived from typewriter typefaces, where the dominant serifs on the i, l, I and 1 were used to flesh out the otherwise-thin letter forms, and prevent "holes" from forming in the monospaced text. Erik Spiekermann gave the same letters a similar treatment in his earlier typeface, ITC Officina.
Signs are usually read in motion, and often from strange angles. Under such circumstances, letter forms can become blurred and indistinct. Back-lighting signs has the effect of rounding otherwise sharp corners, further complicating the process of recognizing individual letters. FF Info Display was designed with such circumstances in mind: the rounded ends of the letters are less prone to distortion and the letters remain true to form. White type on a dark background appears heavier than dark type on a light background. This effect is exaggerated if the light type is back-lit. In FF Info Display, the difference between the various weights has been designed to compensate for this effect. For example, white text set in Book weight on a black background is optically the same as black text set in Medium on a white background. With back-lit signs, dark text appears thinner, in which case the Semi Bold weight would be appropriate. FF Info also includes numerous arrows in a plethora of line-widths and directions, handy for sign making.
Critique Magazine paid specific recognition to the FF Info family back in 1998. In that year, it was one of just 1% of considered designs to receive an award in their "Big Crit" contest. Collapse description

I was hoping a few of you would be able to take part in my questionnaire; it will take no longer than five minutes to complete. This will help me to analyse the cultural differences between fans in America and England. If you are interested in my overall findings, please let me know.

Remote work
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!
Here's where you can ask for and offer career advice. Use the sub-boards for posting resumes and viewing job listings.
Jamie.R wrote:Web apps would be the best solution as its all done over the net so working remote is not a problem. However if you are new to the industry many companies don't like letting new member work from home until they know them and trust them.
I would say get really good at web apps if you are not already as the better you are the more you can offer the more the company will want to help you power you Also make sure where you moving to has good net connection as again if you cant test because your net drops every hour it will cause problems.
the only thing you can do is try get a lot experience where I currently work they only let you work remote if you live far and have like 3 years experience within security.

Binghamton University to host discussion on eating awareness and the environment
BINGHAMTON, NY – Binghamton University's Eating Awareness Committee (EAC), in conjunction with Sodexo, will sponsor a discussion titled, "The Food Environment: Cues that Drive Behavior and Influence Choice," at 4 p.m., Saturday, Oct. 26 in the University Union Old Union Hall. This event is free and open to the public. Refreshments will be provided.
Guest speaker Kathryn Hoy, Cornell University Food and Brand Lab researcher and manager of its Behavioral Economics in Child Nutrition Programs (BEN), will discuss how psychology and environment impacts eating behavior. Hands-on activities will teach participants how to be better equipped to identify and deal with the daily traps that can lead toward less healthy dietary decisions. According to Hoy, "Everything from what and how much we eat to whether or not we enjoy it is affected by cues all around us."
The Eating Awareness Committee is a University-wide group that helps students maintain healthful and balanced eating habits so they can sustain their academic and personal development throughout their college years and beyond. The EAC's mission is to provide education, outreach and resources to both campus and community, as it relates to body image, eating disorders, nutrition and fitness.
For more information, contact Cindy Cowden at email@example.com.

My posts are just showing the others what Swamprat9 and I are going through to get our gear, that we paid for. If you feel like a clown, realize we have nothing to do with that...All we have done is asked where is our stuff---we have paid--and it's been a reasonable amount of time.

Reviews of this property
This is a really new apartment. Although it's not in the down town but very near to the metro station. With the taxi from down town to the apartment you just need to pay about 10 Euro.
What not good we feel is: there is NO WIFI or INTERNET! It's really extremely inconvenient! Especially for the tourists, who want search for the route or sth. else.
The apartment is very comfortable, has three bedrooms, central air conditioning in every room. It is in a residential neighborhood with playground, supermarket on the corner of the building and metro two minutes walk. It takes no more than fifteen minutes to the metro center. You can park on the street without parking charges. The hostess is helpful and quickly answered our requests.
O apartamento é muito confortável, tem três quartos, ar condicionado central em todos os cômodos. Fica em um bairro residencial com parquinho, supermercado na esquina do edificio e metro a dois minutos a pé. Leva no máximo quinze minutos até o centro de metro. Pode-se estacionar na rua sem cobrança de estacionamento. A anfitriã é atenciosa e atendeu rapidamente nossos pedidos.

It was really great trip!
Great location nearby amazing restaurants and bars. We loved our stay there, especially relaxing on the rooftop terrance. Really great experience!

text: I just picked up a 2004 silverado. It is a 2500hd 6.0 truck and did not come with the keyless entry remote so I ordered one off line. I have tried a hundred times to get it to program and cannot get it to. Everytime I turn the ignition with the unlock held the doors cycle and the horn beeps, which doesnt happen in all of the videos. Did my truck come with keyless entry? Is there anyway to tell? Thanks in advanced!!
