Naomi Watts thinks plastic surgery can look "freakish'', and says she would prefer to age naturally.
The 44-year-old Australian actress, who continues to look gorgeous on and off the red carpet, says going under the knife has turned other Hollywood stars into strange-looking creatures, which she is in no rush to resemble.
"All the women who haven't done anything to their faces are still able to play great roles. And some of the ones who have done something have messed it up - they look freakish,'' Watts told the US's Health magazine.
"Anyway, for me it's about playing women with rich lives and the longer the life, the deeper the wrinkles.''
Watts, whose partner is US actor Liev Schreiber, have two children together, Alexander and Samuel. She has previously spoken about her desire to have a third baby, but only if she could guarantee it would be a girl. For now, her her hands full juggling her family life with her job.
"There's so much going on and [I'm] trying to balance being a mom with a career. It's great that I've got both things but there are many times when I struggle,'' Watts said.
"Sleep is something I'm deprived of. But I feel so rich inside - I feel blessed to be a mother. For me, it's been a way of fulfilling a long-buried childhood dream. I had always wanted to be a mother, but when I was desperately searching for work in LA after I moved there from Australia, any thoughts of family were very distant indeed and it seemed that it might never happen for me.
"Both of us [Liev and I] love what we do, but we're also both very, very hands on parents and it's the most important thing for us to make sure the family stays together, so it will inevitably be a juggling act from now until they're grown up.''
The actress, who received an Oscar nomination for her tsunami film The Impossible and will star as the late Princess Diana in a new Diana biopic, may on the surface look cool and collected, but Watts says she has turbulent inner feelings that she controls through breathing exercises.
"Meditating and being with nature in the countryside [help me relax],'' she said.
"I love being outside with trees and water. I love the ocean air and sleeping. I do transcendental meditation, which keeps me calm and steady. I also drink lots of water and have a facial every six to eight weeks. I'm high-maintenance if I'm going to an event but in my own life I can't bear putting on make-up or blow-drying my hair. If you look in my handbag, there's not much in it apart from sunscreen. I do tint my eyelashes so I don't have to wear mascara every day.''

First time home hobbyist poster with two hives. Yesterdays quick inspection revealed one thriving colony and one failed. The failed colony has two med supers. Top box had about 5 full frames of capped honey. Bottom box had drawn comb and absolutely nothing else visible, like it had been licked clean. No dead bees outside the hive, maybe a hundred dead bees on the bottom screen with no obvious signs of a problem.
Any ideas as to why the bees failed and didn't go to the top box for honey?
Other notes: Last fall fed pollen patty and tried to feed syrup with hive top feeder. Neither of my hives touched the syrup. The healthy hive seemed more vigorous last fall but both hives had brood and stores for winter.
Any ideas as to why a colony wouldn't touch fresh 2/1 syrup in early Oct.?

Greensleeves recorded by among others Andre Rieu, John Coltrane, Olivia Newton-John is a traditional English folk song, ballad and broadside ballad first printed in 1580. It was not (though commonly believed) composed by Henry VIII for his lover and future queen consort Anne Boleyn. It is a ground based on an Italian Passamezzo Antico or Spanish Romanesca that did not reach England until after The king's death. Ralph Vaughan Williams composed a Fantasia on Greensleeves based on the Greensleeves melody in 1934. The tune like Scott Joplin's The Entertainer is popular as a standard chime for ice cream vans and in popular culture it's been featured in films and on TV like for instance Zero Dark Thirty, The Big Bang Theory, Friends and The Simpsons Duet Sheet Music for Eb Clarinet accompanied by Trombone arranged by Lars Christian Lundholm. Greensleeves is also known by alternative title: What Child Is This, Al Labous Mary, Green Sleeves, Greensleeves And Pudding Pies, Ye Ladie Gr...

st: impulse-response-functions with an exogenous impulse
Tue, 15 Apr 2008 13:42:41 +0200
Hi All,
I am estimating VAR models with additional exogenous variables. I
would like to plot impulse-response functions (IRFs) of all variables,
including the response of endogenous variables to exogenous impulses.
However, when using the "irf create" command, Stata does not calculate
any IRFs for exogenous variables (i.e. the response of endogenous
variables to an impulse of an exogenous one). Am I missing any reason,
why IRFs with an exogenous impulse do not make sense? If not, is there
a way to make Stata calculate and graph those IRFs?
Best regards,

text: I was thinking today, how many times people ignore the maintenance schedules for their vehicles. I thought I'd start a thread identifying specific maintenance items, and the REASON the periodic maintenance is critical. If you have others, post them, and I'll try to keep up the verified reasons in this main post. 1) Radiator fluid - Ethylene Glycol and Propylene Glycol actually don't deteriorate, but the additives get consumed. Basically, radiator fluid protects your engine by allowing heat to be transferred away from the very high temperature combustion chambers. Unfortunately, the properties of the base fluid are corrosive to some degree, and additives are included to protect your engine. For example, the "pink" fluid found in GM vehicles has a long lifespan, but not indefinite. The radiator fluid is actually corrosive to aluminum (think about how many aluminum parts this comes into contact with), and failure to replace the metal protecting additives through fluid exchange results in degraded gasket seals, and leaks. Also, 50% of the fluid is WATER. Water, alone isn't corrosive, but oxidation of parts can occur. Additionally, be sure to use distilled water, to avoid depositing minerals (which impede fluid flow, causing higher temps). There are a few other reasons to replace it as well, but these are the major ones. Follow your maintenance schedule, and if it's been many many years since you've changed it, you'll probably find a fresh batch of fluid will result in lower temps due to better flow (gunky radiator fluid doesn't move through the system as well. This is also a reason a radiator flush is sometimes a good idea (it helps remove blockages). While you're not likely to restore your system with a radiator fluid change, at the very least, you're stopping the progression of deterioration that may have already started. Change on schedule! 2) Engine Oil - Probably a million sites and as many opinions around on this one. A quick summary is that oil breaks down due to friction heat, and additive consumption (such as detergents). Oil is designed to suspend particles that would otherwise gunk up or damage your engine. Larger particles are removed from your oil by the oil filter. The small particles in the oil result from blow-by (fuel, vapors, carbon, etc), and from break-down. Dirty oil is doing it's job, BUT it has a saturation point. Oil can only suspend so many particles before they simply stick in your engine. Also, oil has detergents that sop up broken down oil (suspending the particles in the oil, as well). When your oil breaks down faster than the detergents work, you get sludge (simplified view, but it works for this purpose). Regular changing of the oil removes broken down, contaminated oil, and restores the detergents required to keep your engine's internal components clean. Because modern oils have detergents, they'll even clean out gunk to some degree. Additionally, your motor oil's capacity to "do the job" is not measured in miles or time (although both can be used as guides for change intervals). Follow your manufacturer's recommended oil change cycles. Changing sooner is generally not necessary, as oil's capacity to protect your engine under normal and severe conditions is accounted for in the maintenance schedule. 3) Engine Oil Filter - This filter removes larger particles from suspension in your oil. Good filters have lots of pleats and may filter smaller particles. Cheap filters will have fewer pleats. Removal of particles and material that could damage your engine is the filter's job. CAUTION: Adding engine cleaners, flushes, etc. may very quickly fill up your oil filter. If this happens the by-pass valve engages, and you're essentially circulating junk through your engine. This is also why you should replace the filter when you change your oil. If you have a "full" filter, particles that would otherwise be removed are now circulating in your system potentially doing damage. 4) Transmission Fluid. Transmission fluid breaks down over time due to heat exposure. The periodic and average temperature of transmission fluid over the lifespan determines the actual breakdown speed. Overheated transmissions actually turn fluid into a sticky varnish (depending on the fluid type), often called "Burning the fluid." As long as you have not "burned" the transmission fluid, changing a part of the fluid actually extends the life of all of the fluid. Most manufacturer recommendations to change fluid by dropping the pan only results in a portion of the fluid being exchanged. This is normal and is accounted for in the manufacturer's recommended interval. Failure to partially replace the fluid regularly can be mitigated, to some extent with full fluid flushes, though often, a critical aspect (the filter) is ignored. Do so at your own peril. 5) Transmission Filter – This small filter, actually pulls floating bits and pieces from wear and tear in your transmission and torque converter, out of fluid suspension. Just like dirt on your paint can cause scratches when you rub it, particles in the transmission fluid can quickly wear out clutches and other tight tolerance parts. If your transmission filter is clogged, doing a "transmission flush" isn't going to change the fact that any new particles are going to continue damaging your transmission. Be sure to follow the manufacturer's recommended schedule. Like an oil filter, this is an integral part in the protection of very sensitive components. 6) Break fluid, power steering fluid, clutch reservoir fluid. These fluids aren't exposed to sheer forces, which would cause breakdown, but they can become contaminated from particles or wear of parts. Over time, these fluids get dirty. Dirt in the lines makes its way down into the components these hydraulic systems support. Dirt is grit. Grit destroys. Most manufacturers recommend partial replacement periodically to extend the life of your system. 7) Differential fluids – these fluids are of a higher viscosity. Basically, the weight of a fluid (such as 30 weight, or 75 weight) is an oil GRADE (nothing to do with specific gravity, for the science folks out there). The test, simply described, is like this. Take a specified amount of the fluid and allow it to pour through specifically sized holes at a specific temperature. Measure how many seconds it takes for the fluid to go through the holes. 30w oil takes 30 seconds in that test. 75w oil takes 75 seconds (indicating it's "thicker). 20w oil takes 20 seconds, and so on. Oil thickens when it's cooler, btw, which is why the temp is specified. Anyhow, differential and gear box oils use these thick, or heavy viscosity oils to protect heavy duty gears that are meshing, from damage. This stuff needs to be thick enough to protect from the grinding. Change according to manufacturer's instructions OR… when you get water in your differential or gearbox. Water destroys the viscosity and may also cause frothing (air in the oil). Water and air do not make great lubricants, especially in the high friction environment of your differential or gearbox. Frothing also occurs when you overfill, hence the reason to make sure you're not doing that, either! Heavy duty use (such as spinning a single wheel for 5 minutes trying to get out of a hole) may break-down the oil more rapidly, as well. Oil that is deteriorated from overheating or sheer damage doesn't protect as well as the fresh stuff. Change on schedule!

How many observations are in your dataset and have you considered that the problem might be with the model you are fitting to the data? It doesn't seem remotely parsimonious to use that many indicators (or it hardly seems that a model with that many variables is simplifying the true data generating process). Maybe you could provide some example that others could replicate in order to get a better idea of the difficulty you're running into.

text: Hi everyone, newbie to this forum here. I've recently purchased a 94 C1500 chevy truck from my work--it was an old fleet vehicle. I know next to nothing about cars but I'd really like to learn. I had a mechanic check it out when I first bought it and they said it was in good working condition, other than an oil leak I didn't want to pay to fix... Anyway, I have one problem with the truck since I got it and that is that if I keep the battery connected to the truck it drains it within like 2 days. But that isn't why I'm posting. On Saturday I put the battery in, started up just fine, drove it for a few miles and got to a gas station and put some gas in it. Then it wouldn't start up and hasn't since. No cranking, nothing. I noticed that the temperature gauge shoots up way past maximum when I do try to start the car. Battery is fine, lights go on and such so I don't think it's the battery this time (and the battery gauge does show a charge). I don't know if this is related but when it wouldn't start, I had to push it out of the way. I put it in neutral so my friend could push it but I don't think the truck knew it was in neutral because the brakes were still being applied. It was very hard to push. After switching it several times from park to neutral (like 10 times) it finally stopped doing that and I was able to push it fine. I had it towed to my house. Any suggestions would be so appreciated. I can put some money into the thing but I'd like not to have to put too much. Thanks. Jordan

I miss the cafeteria at my college it was open 24/7. I could snack whenever I wanted
Here's two examples of why I'm not going to terribly miss the restaurant biz when I finally leave. 1) The other day we had a lady place a take out order during the middle of the lunch rush. Mind you, when her ticket came in, there were 12-15 tickets ahead of hers (and the place I work only has 2 cooks during the week). At ten minutes, she has one of the hostesses ask how much longer her food is going to be. I said it was going to be a few or so more minutes. Like four minutes later, one of the waitresses comes back and says the lady is nearly in tears wondering where her food is, what should I tell her? I said, tell her to grow the **** up. I mean, 15 minutes, while not ideal, is not a very long time to wait for your food. 2) On Saturday during the middle of the lunch rush, a waitress comes up to the pass with a zip-lock bag with a couple of slices of bread in it and asks if we could toast it for a customer. I said that it was too busy for me to make sure there was no cross contamination (I assume it's someone with a food allergy). The waitress goes to the table to tell the customer that, comes back and says that the lady doesn't have a food allergy; she just wants her own bread. ****ing really? What kind of self important **** brings in their own ****ing bread to a restaurant for them to toast? A little later the waitress comes back and asks for some extra salsa for the table. I told her that they could get some at the same store that they brought their bread at (I, of course, gave them their salsa).


text: Just sharing a build option. I used the WOF plans and made several card board molds that I layered fiber glass/resin into. I used a release that allowed for most of the card board to easily peel off. I then assembled with fiberglass to build my jet pack. Plenty of Bondo needed. I detailed some of the parts builds in other threads. This is not an easy build, but here are some images. I made all the aluminum parts too. The stabilizer was made in part from a cheap Exato knife. The beacon was aluminum rod I shaped with with files as it turned in a drill press.

Can you install over galvenized steps? Also how does this material hold up to chemicals? They would be installed on a stair way to a pool slide, so they would be introduced to a lot of chlorine.
Question Asked By: anonymous
+ View 1 Answer
Question Answered By: Product Expert , March 30, 2012
The treads have been tested for a number of chemicals, however, chlorine is not one of them. The treads are resistant to most chemicals, and chlorine shouldn't affect the wearability of the stair treads. As for installation over galvanized steps; as long as the steps are fairly smooth there should not be an issue with installation, however, we would recommend using the 775 epoxy adhesive in this instance for the best possible bond.

When golfing, one is rarely if ever prone to imagining a herd of dinosaurs thundering over the near horizon – a vision that naturally extends itself to include golfers scampering for their lives, clubs pinwheeling, balls abandoned mid-flight, bright polyester clothing dirtied from huddling in bunkers to avoid the rampage.
Rare as such visions may be, it's not hard to foster them when playing the closing holes on the back nine at Puakea Golf Club on Kauai, particularly holes 14 through 17. The sweep and routing of these excellent holes place them close to the seaside mountain range dominated by the peak, Haupu. This area is instantly recognizable as the plain on which hundreds of stampeding Gallimimus herbivores leap over Sam Neill and a couple of kids as they flee from a T-Rex in Jurassic Park. I happened to be playing some shabby golf at Puakea – a Tin Cup laid-back kind of golf course – and perhaps the movie I ran in my head as I triple-bogeyed the tight dogleg par-4 15th was simply the result of knowing that being ripped limb from limb by a hungry raptor wouldn't have much affected my score that day.
The real herd that Kauai hopes to attract, however, is the one thundering over the horizon in golf carts. Kauai has often been viewed as second or even third fiddle to Oahu and Maui as the golfer's destination of choice in Hawaii, but the island's golf courses have formed a kind of informal coalition to change the dynamic. Nearly every course on Kauai has undergone some kind of renovation or upgrade in the last few years, and the strategy seems to involve spending its way out of the 2008 economic hangover. Golf can still be generally characterized as in recovery mode, but Kauai's new motto seems to be, "If you renovate it, they will come." There are early signs it might be working, with rounds per year inching up, but if the overall strategy does not work, it won't be for lack of investment.

Not every American has Secret Service protection, so Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr. has some advice for protecting ones self and home: Get a shotgun, just as he has.
That might sound a bit jarring, especially coming from a Democrat who is President Obamas point man in their campaign for new gun safety measures. But Mr. Biden, who made the comment on Tuesday for at least the second time, has a point to make in fact, a couple of points.
One is explicit: A shotgun is easier to use than the kind of assault rifle that the Obama administration would like to ban, Mr. Biden argued, and is effective in scaring off would-be intruders. His other point is implicit: Democrats are not anti-gun.

Hi linda
I have a wonderful old English/French dictionary inscribed Thelma Elliott form four Ashbutorn High school 1912. It is also stamped L Elliott. I have been trying to track down relatives in Asburton but to no avail. I was brought up in Auckland and I think Gertrude Thelma Elliott may have married Malcolm McIntosh Morrison in Auckland as his body is interred at Purewa. One of their offspring must have been friendly with my aunt as I have had this book since I was 12 and used it. Dad got ot from the Sutherland estate. i would love to return it to a direct descendant or will put it in the Ashburton Museum.
Hi Margaret
What a lovely idea to return the book to the family. Sadly I can't claim to be a relative as all my Elliott's come from Berkshire and didn't venture out to NZ. If you can't find a suitable claimant I am sure that the Ashburton Musuem will be a good place to deposit the book.
Have quite a lot of Elliott family info, this family came from Dorset Englang in the early 1900's and there families were generally around Canterbury.
Should you find a correction please contact me.
Ces Turton
Hi Ces
My Elliott's all came from Berkshire until my grandfather ventured into Hampshire in the early 1900's. He was the only one though – think all the rest felt safer living where they had always lived!
History, particularly Family History is my passion. I have worked in libraries & archives, I teach family history, conduct workshops and give genealogy presentations. It seemed a shame to have all this knowledge & experience and not share it with others, so this website was born.

When you're continuously punching someone while explaining something meaningful to them, it's called explunching. Explunching is a mixture of the words explain and punch.
The man was angry that his drug dealers never paid up so he decided to explunch them why he needed his money.

text: The fact that anyone would complain about that, pisses me off! What the hell is wrong with this country? It's your own flag, a symbol that countless people have died fighting for. People are so proud of their quaint little community that they whine about a large American flag. When I am out of the Navy and settled down in my own house, one of my dreams is to have a large flagpole, complete with yardarm, lit 24/7. Just let someone tell me that I can't do that.

Tree limb, that is
As a follow-up, three weeks later the hive is doing fine--- even managed to fight off a pretty fierce YJ onslaught.

Enjoyed watching that,thanks.
Nice WB!! I was just wondering the other day what you did with that limb hive. Looks like the slice and dice worked well. That old dark comb if you have any left over is a swarm trap heaven.
Beautiful landscape too. Thanks for sharing.
Chuck Norris has a grizzly bear carpet in his room. The bear isn't dead it is just afraid to move.
Thanks Derek, it was an adventure. That comb was absolutely packed with honey, and with all the other bees going after it, things were quite chaotic. What you don't see is some of the Blair Witch footage where Sean (the videographer) is racing around the hills being chased by angry girls--- I had him all suited up, but it was a bit unnerving for him.
I even had to change gloves midway, cuz they were so soaked with honey. So I wasn't worried about the hive having enough food. They had three (or four, can't recall) absolutely full frames of comb packed with honey by the time I was done. My only concern about this hive's longterm prospects is that I didn't see much brood, so I don't know how viable the queen is.
Saturday is the three-week mark, so I'm gonna open it up and see how they're doing.
Well, shoot.
the "log hive" absconded. I think the robbing and the raiding by yellow-jackets was too much for 'em. Found a bunch of dead ones on the bottom board at the entrance, and the comb was full of YJ's.
Oh, well. Chalk it up to experience. I learned:
1. Have a bucket or some other enclosable container handy. Cut off comb, vacuum up the bees, and then put the comb into it.
2. Take the comb elsewhere to band it into the frames. They were so full of honey, the robbing was nuts.
3. Place the frames in, then the bees, then close 'em up, all in one smooth operation.
Another possible idea: after cutting open the log, maybe I should have draped a sheet over it for awhile, or covered it somehow until all the robbers left it alone, and all the flying residents went back in through the regular entrance. Then, smoke 'em and remove 'em per the above procedure. Less bees in the air (the chainsaw threw plenty of them in the air, as you can see from the video). Maybe that would have worked better.
It's not a good idea to do a cutout in the beeyard...you can't expect the residents to pass up free honey.
and it wasn't obvious that you considered which way was "up" when you tied the comb in the frames. The whole process of being cut down in the first place, laid over sideways, cut into again and moved into a box was pretty disruptive, and if the comb wasn't "right side up" they had little choice but leave...I just hope they didn't move into someone's house.


text: Hello GMTC. New guy here (Tracy) I have a 89 silverado the past couple of months my oil gauge has been giving me problems now when the truck get up to temp the oil pressure gauge drops to zero, starts idling rough and smokes a little. I have checked all the appropriate sensors. I have even put in a lower temp thermostat, but change. I did come across a thread on this site from two years ago with the exact same problem, but it ended with no resolution. I heard this could be a over heating problem. Its never overheated on me. The truck belonged to my Grandfather and it was well taken care of. He never drove far enough to get it up to temp. lol I don't want to be a parts changer, for one thing I cant afford it. Any info on you can give would be great I'm pretty much at a dead end now. Thanks, Tracy

Where I stayed
We wake to more rain. Probably didn't stop. The guy next to us says it's been raining for 3 days straight. We decide its a good time to go into town to get the lay of the land from the car. Find a coffee/internet cafe called Tuff Beans. Busy place. Cute hippie boy working. Two dollar coffee. Excellent. Found out that 5$ a rather large load of laundry at our campsite is cheaper then the laundromat downtown at 4$ a wash and .25$ for three minutes of dry time. Hit up a hardware store for more rope and an extension cord. I think the guy who works there may be into metal. Find out. Then back to the campsite and it's still raining. Oh well, here we go. Set up tarp in about an hour, used car as a ladder to get a good height. After about an hour of sitting in our chair enjoying the break from the rain, while not in our car, I notice a small, weak patch of blue, some unbeknownst distance away over the ocean
Our new neighbors arrived. Brett, Pearl and Hanna. They actually live on Strawberry island, but wanted an adventure so have come to mackenzie beach. Which is my home for the next month and a half! WHOO! After adventuring we rearrange the site all feng shui and set up the tent. Unfortunately even though I hear we have the pimpenest spot around, I still think it needs some work. Almost there though, three more items. I really hope the grommets on the tarp hold out, they be stretched tight. Anyways, off topic. Camp was set, the fire was started, time for steaks, and grilled asparagus over an open fire. So delicious we ate almost all of it before getting the camera together to take a picture. Then we just took it easy. Tidied a bit but did not clean. then sat by the fire, sipping wine and listening to the surf. Jess went to bed just as the moon was breaking through the clouds, it was epic. Every thing lit up. I wish my camera had better low light capabilities. As I tried to journal by the fire I grew ever more tired until finally I woke up next to dying embers with half a glass of wine in my hand. So I turned in as well.

Discussion in 'Chevy Trailblazer Forum (GMC Envoy)' started by ChevyFan, Aug 17, 2005.
Just a quick poll. Wondering what people think of the overall performance from a stand-still.
This suv is quick enough for me to get a speeding ticket. I feel the power of this engine and i have the ext 400lb heavier.
Yeah, but some people think that it doesn't give enough punch off the line. What do you think?
Performance is fine for what it is. Not like driving a camaro or corvette.
It is not the Mazda MX6-GT I used to own (which had a 2.2 Liter Intercooler Turbocharger), but is a lot quicker than the 2000 Blazer I had....
However, I want to point out that I did not buy by TB for jack rabbit starts or speed ..... I bought mine for the 4WD and room to haul everything around (it's amazing the stuff kids want to bring). I just wish I could have gotten a manual transmission... oh well.
Ditto. I'll get a coupe if I want to tear up the roads.

Directed by Kenneth Branagh
Starring Chris Hemsworth, Anthony Hopkins, Natalie Portman, Tom Hiddleston, Kat Dennings
It wouldn't be the summer movie season without some superheroes. But Thor gives us a slightly unusual one. The film is based on the Marvel Comics character and the God of Thunder from Norse (Scandinavian) mythology. Thor (Hemsworth) is a god from the realm of Asgard who defies his father, the King of Thor (Hopkins), when he wages a battle against the Frost Giants of Jotunheim. After having to be saved by the King during the battle, Thor is banished to Earth without his powers as punishment for his arrogance.
The mighty Thor must now learn the meaning of humility on Earth. To regain his abilities, he'll have to prove he has what it takes to be a true leader—and to be worthy of yielding the powerful hammer, Mjolnir. He gets some help from the humans he meets on Earth, including scientist Jane Foster (Portman), her mentor Dr. Erik Selvig (Stellan Skarsgård), and Jane's assistant, Darcy Lewis (Dennings).
Did You Know?
Thor will be back next summer, but this time he'll be sharing the screen. Chris Hemsworth is set to reprise the role of Thor in Marvel Studio's The Avengers, which brings together several Marvel superheroes, including Iron Man (Robert Downey, Jr.), Captain America (Chris Evans), and the Hulk (Mark Ruffalo). The Avengers is scheduled to hit theaters May 2012.

If you live in Rhode Island in 2013, it is increasingly inexcusable not to know H.P. Lovecraft.
We don't mean "know" Howard Phillips Lovecraft, personally; the man The New York Review of Books once dubbed "The King of Weird" has been dead 76 years.
And we're not even suggesting you have to be a fan of the author, whose stories can lead readers into dank, fetid, underground spaces or the depths of madness, and often feature slimy, murderous aliens, sea creatures, and/or reanimated corpses. Some people will simply never slap a "CTHULHU IS MY HOMEBOY!" bumper sticker on their Chevy.
But to be unfamiliar with the "Old Gentleman of Providence," whose words echo in cinemas and libraries all over the world — and whose fictional monsters, rest assured, are being passionately discussed on social media at this very second — is to ignore an ever-expanding piece of our state's cultural significance. If local high school teachers haven't included "The Shunned House" on their syllabi by now, then perhaps we should convince the DMV to add questions about R'lyeh and Azathoth to the written test at the end of driver's ed.
There are many reasons for our adamancy on this issue, but, for now, we'll point to just three.
First is the fact that, in the years since his 1937 death from intestinal cancer, Lovecraft has ascended to superstardom. The man whose work appeared only in pulp magazines like Weird Tales and Astounding Stories in his lifetime has now been canonized in the Library of America alongside Abraham Lincoln, Jack London, and Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. His works have been translated into nearly 30 languages, including Japanese, Polish, and French. The Lovecraft merchandising industry – from shot glasses to key chains to Cthulhu ski masks and "Arkham Sanitarium" white lab coats — seems to expand by the hour. And, nowadays, Lovecraft counts among his fans Metallica, Stephen King, and the 2013 blockbuster, Pacific Rim's, director Guillermo Del Toro, who told The New Yorker in 2011 that an adaptation Lovecraft's novella The Mountains of Madness was the film he most desperately dreams of making.
A second fact worth noting is that, perhaps more than any other American author, Lovecraft is inextricably tied to his hometown. The man strayed from Rhode Island a few times on sightseeing adventures and a brief, ill-fated marriage in New York. But mostly, he lived here and he loved it here. Again and again, he describes the city in his work. There, in his poem "Providence" are "centuried domes of shining gold" and "A rotting wharf where gambrel roofs/Keep watch above the sea." There, in his novella, The Case of Charles Dexter Ward, is a character whose "head swam curiously as the vehicle rolled down the terminal behind the Biltmore, bringing into view the great dome and soft, roof-pierced greenery of the ancient hill across the river, and the tall colonial spire of the First Baptist Church limned pink in the magic evening light."
A letter the author wrote upon his return in 1926 stands as perhaps the most passionate homage to the city ever written. As the train nears its destination, Lovecraft breathlessly ticks off its progress — "a hissing of air brakes – a slackening of speed – surges of ecstasy and dropping clouds from my eyes and mind — HOME — UNION STATION — PROVIDENCE!!!!" — before announcing, when he finally stands on the "holy ground" of his birthplace, that "there is no other place for me. My world is Providence." He goes on like this for pages.
Finally, and most urgently, is fact that, this upcoming weekend, more than a thousand of Lovecraft's most obsessive fans will descend on Providence for NecronomiCon, a reboot of a bygone, smaller conference in his honor that was held in Danvers, Massachusetts and Providence. It is these fans — and, if we can briefly be a tad cynical, their wallets; the Providence Convention & Visitors Bureau estimates they'll bring more than $600,000 in direct spending — who provide the strongest reminder of how Providence is the undisputed center of the Lovecraft Universe.
Traveling to NecronomiCon will be people like the Washington state-based writer and filmmaker, Jason Brock, who says "Providence is to Lovecraft aficionados as Mecca and Medina are to the faithful of Islam . . . it looms large in their mental landscape."
It's people like Mallory O'Meara, a veterinary technician from Newburyport, Mass., who tell us that she and her boyfriend are "absolutely in love" with Providence and they "would have never visited if it wasn't for Lovecraft." They're trying to move here, she says.
It's people like Sean Branney, founder of the H.P. Lovecraft Historical Society (the Facebook group with more than 7500 members) who is traveling with a contingent of fellow fans from Southern California. At his organization's website, cthulhulives.org, visitors can download vintage replica Providence postcards featuring Brown University''s Van Wickle Gates and City Hall. "He might have sent notes on postcards just like these!" the page reads.
Also hopping on a plane to Rhody is Wilum H. Pugmire, poet laureate of NecronomiCon, who wrote us a gushing email from Seattle about what the "Genius of Providence" means to him. When he visited Providence in 2007, he says, he walked the streets from College Hill to Federal Hill with a diary in hand, scratching impressions as he went. Some of those notes turn up his latest book, Bohemians of Sesqua Valley, which he'll be reading from at NecronomiCon.
As for this upcoming trip, "I think that I shall be so inspired by the city when I visit . . . that I'll be able to write an entire book of horror stories set therein," he says. "In dark of night, I shall attempt to venture out for solitary midnight strolls through areas near to the Biltmore, stalking beside the river and contemplating the things that swim and crawl beneath the water."
Fellow Rhode Islanders: when Wilum Pugmire & Co. arrive in our capital city, let's greet them not with confused stares, but with a cosmic, slimy, multi-tentacled, madness-inflected hospitality that would make Lovecraft proud.

That room is great, and very conveniently located. It's just next to Brick Lane, 15 min walk from Liverpool St. Station. There are lots of grocery stores nearby and it's very close to the City if you have to work there.
Kaz was very helpful, and it was very very easy to check in and check out. The room itself was quite clean; however I think the cleaning of the shared areas could be slightly improved.
At last, the room being in a residence, and not overlooking the street, it was quiet enough to have a nice stay. I recommend it, especially if you are travelling alone.
We had a great time in London. The room was clean and big. The location of the apartment is very quiet, bus and underground station are 5 min away (walking). The kitchen is fully equiped. Comunication with the host was great. We recommend the apartment to everyone.
Till next time.
Silvija & Nikola
Had a great night. The accommodation was very nicely presented and the staff were also nice. Will definitely recommend it.
The room was large, very cozy and comfortable for us to stay despite of a light tobacco smell on the sheets.
The apartment was clean, nice kitchen but the bathroom needs some renovation.
The location is convenient next to bus stop or shoreditch station.
We didn't have the occasion to meet the host but he provided us all the information needed before arrival.
We enjoyed our stay and definitely recommend this place !
Nice comfy room. The room , bathroom and kitchen was very clean and funktional. It is very easy to find and there is no problems with noish from the street. We vill return to Kaz Next time we are gooing to London.
for the price you got you can't ask for too much, so this place was ok.the house was old and windows did not close well, so you got cold.the whole place was dirty when I came in, spiders were lurking in my room, I had to kill 5 of them, but was close to the station aldgate east and whitechapel was also nearby.space was also enough and bed matress was ok.5/10
The host cancelled the booking, this review is automated.
Large comfortable room. Good value.
I had a very pleasant stay in 'the East End Room'. The room is very clean. The location is perfect! Close to Brick Lane and Shoreditch (the coolest part of London). Tube station 'Aldgate East' is only a few minutes walk.
If you search for a good sleeping place for a good price, this is the place!
The place is very clean, closeby the metro station and a very nice neighbourhood. It values the price.

MIT Mistakenly Tells Some Applicants They've Been AdmittedOliver Staley
The Massachusetts Institute of Technology sent an e-mail to prospective students, erroneously telling them in a line at the bottom that they had been admitted.
The university doesn't know how many people received the e-mail, although the number who noticed the line was probably "very small," Chris Peterson, an admissions officer at the Cambridge, Massachusetts-based school, said on the admission department's blog last week.
The mix-up happened when MIT combined two separate lists for an electronic mailing about financial aid. At the bottom was a footer that said "You are on this list because you are admitted to MIT," according to Peterson. By merging the lists in a program called MailChimp, admissions officers mistakenly imported the footer from a list of students accepted under early admissions.
The note at the bottom was supposed to say "You are receiving this e-mail because you applied to MIT and we sometimes have to tell you things about stuff," according to the blog.
Such mistakes are occurring more often across the country as university and college admissions offices rely more on electronic communication with prospective students.
UCLA, Vassar
In 2012, the University of California at Los Angeles sent an e-mail to 894 students that had been wait-listed for admission, inadvertently suggesting they had been admitted. The same year, 76 applicants to Vassar College received an e-mail letter from the college that erroneously stated they had been accepted.
MIT's Peterson said he sympathizes with prospective students because of a rejection letter he received as a college applicant that mixed up both his name and gender.
"It crushes -- crushes -- me to think that I might have unintentionally inflicted something similar on some of you," he wrote. "I've been on that side and I know how it feels. And if you've now felt it too, in part because of me, I'm so, so sorry."
MIT received 18,989 applications for the 2013 freshman class and admitted 8.2 percent, according to its website.

Where I stayed
I was a little nervous... there was, as you will most likely be aware, a very beautiful girl who was to meet me.
It took the most part of an hour to get through all beaureucratic stuff and when I walked out through the gate I couldn't find anyone. So I went to brush my teeth in the nearby bathrooms... you can't very well expect to kiss a supermodel with... questionable breath!
I stepped out and me and Pixie bumped into each other! ...lots of the aforementioned kissing ensued..
Winchester is a great little city steeped in history. There was a giant brass band playing in the highstreet and with the smells of cornish pasties in the air, along with all the busy activity in the shops, the place oozed of festive cheer.
On Christmas morning I found that I had a stocking which was full of presents! Opening presents on Christmas morning (as opposed to Christmas Eve as normal in my family) was not as weird as I thought. We all opened things together and it was all very exciting...
The whole day was crazy as I met Grandparents, cousins, aunties, uncles and more... all opening and devouring presents... craziness. I fell asleep at 4:30 and didn't wake up until the next day!

Er, did Harry Reid just campaign on the Senate floor?
posted at 10:01 am on September 20, 2012 by Erika Johnsen
On the Senate floor this week, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and some Senate Democrats took a few moments out of what I'm sure is a very — er — busy schedule to excoriate Mitt Romney over his positively diabolical personal tax secrecy (probably because of all that greedy, dodgy, loophole-and-foreign-bank-account scheming he did to totally avoid paying taxes, the nerve of that man) and his apparently nefarious plot to use his potential presidency in order to basically just cut checks to his millionaire buddies. So, nothing too out of the ordinary for Reid — it's not like we're hearing any of this for the first time.
If you're a multimillionaire, Mitt Romney won't rest until you get a quarter million dollar tax cut. That's what the Ryan budget does. And Romney likes that. For all we know, Mitt Romney could be one of those who have paid no federal income tax. Thousands of families make more than $1 million, pay nothing in federal income taxes each year. Repeat that Madame President, thousands of families making more than a million dollars a year pay nothing in federal income taxes. Is Mitt Romney among those? We'll never know since he refuses to release his tax returns for the years before he was running for president.
I mean, it's actually really generous of him to give his time to help escalate the character-and-class warmongering against Mitt Romney like that, you know? It really shows that he's a team player for the Democrats and Barack Ob– wait, what? Our elected, public officials… aren't supposed to use official Congressional time and resources, paid for by the U.S. taxpayer, in order to campaign for/against other political candidates? You mean the Senate floor isn't meant to be used that way? …Oops. From The Hill:
Republicans say Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) flouted the spirit of ethical prohibitions against political activity on federal property Wednesday after he ripped Mitt Romney on the Senate floor. …
"He's campaigning on the Senate floor. It's the taxpayer-funded Senate floor. The speech had nothing to do with the Senate. It was a pure campaign speech. You couldn't give it in the rotunda. You couldn't give it in my office. It's a taxpayer-funded building," said a senior Senate Republican aide.
Reid has long relished his role as an attack dog, using the Senate floor this year to criticize Romney. …
"The things Reid says on the Senate floor ha[ve] nothing to do with governance," said another GOP aide. "It's what you would hear at a political rally. He would go into a convent and crush Romney if he thought he had to." …
Of course, you can make the arguments that Republicans get to spend plenty of time bashing President Obama (but, key word: President), and that this really is a legitimate policy issue as President Obama tries his darndest to get Congress to re-up the Bush-era tax rates for only those families making less than 250k a year, which is the argument that Reid's office seemed to take in response to the finger-pointing. Still, that round of discussion seemed oddly designed to merely showcase some furious reactions to Mitt Romney's 47-percent comments, rather than related to any legislation at hand. Maybe not technical rule-breaking, but still, there is a line in there somewhere, and I'd personally rather we be more careful about toeing it than less. (Heh, Harry Reid, less-than-judicious with tax dollars? Mind = blown.)

The Peace March in East Palo Alto
Original post made by Vita Talakai, East Palo Alto, on Feb 6, 2007
I think that the people should have marched to were the people died. Then go around other places were it is starting to happen. Then I think that theyshould have walked to East Menlo because a while ago there was a drive by. It is good that they marched because they did it for the people who died. I like what they did because if they didn't people would just get away with kiling. Also itshows their bravery walking around East Palo Alto. Stopping violence is good, but it should have happened a long time ago.

Why I value this Town Square forum
Original post made by Sarah, Highland Oaks, on Nov 11, 2007
Despite the fact that some of the posts recently have contained some personal attacks which might be hurtful, I really appreciate having the Pleasanton Weekly host this forum. I have lived in Pleasanton since 1998, and for the longest time, have felt a huge void in the information which is disseminated in the community. Major events have occurred, often ones which directly affect the families with teens, and we either NEVER hear about them in an official publication, or the notice of the event is buried deep within a newspaper days or a week after the event. We hear vague reports from our kids; rumors which circulate around the middle schools or the highs schools, but little or no verification of the facts. If we don't have friends with their fingers (or ears) to the pulse of the town, friends with friends or "peeps" in the police or fire department, then we NEVER know the facts. When we hear the sirens around town at night, I'm sure all of us with kids on the roads cringe. But where can we find out what the sirens were?
Thank you, Pleasanton Weekly, for finally allowing a place to exchange information and ideas.
Now, let's take this forum and make it a positive one. I have been very heartened by the outpouring of emotion, ideas, anger, resolution, and hope for a better model for raising our kids here the past few weeks. Never have I felt more a sense of community and support, despite all of the emotion and raging. At least there is some sign that people are listening and THINKING!!
I wish that every reader would now take a look around their own home, their own group of friends, their kids' friends, their kids' friends' families and start reaching out and making positive connections and talking about what has happened. As some posts have indicated, parents: forgo your wine-laden dinner downtown with friends and instead of just dropping your teen off at a friend's house without checking to see that the parents are actually home and not off to an evening out themselves, CALL to see if there is adult supervision. Or better yet, cancel the dinner with friends two weekends out of four and do something as a family, despite the vehement protests of your teen. They will live through the "ordeal" and hey, you might all have fun. When your teen tells you "of COURSE the parents are going to be there when I sleep over", pick up the phone and call! It might embarrass your son the first time or two, but I'm sure the other parent will actually appreciate your call. It does take a village.
All that aside, let's keep talking here. Argue, debate (nicely), agree, agree to disagree, but continue to support the right to communicate across town, across the "Ruby Hill vs. Val Vista" mentality, across single-parent, divorced parent, two working parents, stay-at-home moms, work-at-home dads, all of those artificial barriers that people have tried to introduce. Our kids need this, we need it, and I'll be really disappointed if someone tries to shut it down because a few folks haven't "played nice".

I am pleased that this was set up. Thank you, Sarah. There are a lot of angry people on here. No one should be bashed. This is a lesson and the end of the lesson should be that all people of this community come together.

Thanks for the comment, Amber. I really don't like or condone the name-calling, the nasty tone of one commenter against the other, the defaming of character, but I too realize that there is a lot of anger being stirred up in the community, and (euphamism here) darn it, rightly so. I'm tired of stuff being smoothed over and swept under the rug here in Pleasanton. I'm tired of (some of) the newspapers, the school publications, and the official police blurbs not telling people what is REALLY going on here. It's not fair that only people who know people get to hear the real deal, and that the others are left wondering. This is a breath of fresh air, this last month. The school district and the individual high school campuses are opening up, the Pleasanton Weekly is finally taking a calculated risk and reporting on events *as they happen* and have had complaints along the way, but as we collectively make our way through this more open sort of communication, perhaps we'll figure it out.
In the end, the goal should be that our collective consciousness is raised, we can realize that Pleasanton is NOT all and not always Perfectly Pleasant, and that the community is US, the residents, and is not some vague notion/ideal of a Stepford suburb. We have problems here, and let's start solving them. And oh yes, that means you over there, too.

If you have seen the movie "Romancing the Stone", you have heard about Cartagena! Cartagena is a city on the north east coast of Colombia. It has a colonial old city and a modern part that is surrounded by long white sand beaches and thousands of sun loving locals. The six of us made our way into the old city and set up shop in a hostel room with 3 bunk beds! Cozy! The old city in Cartagena was amazing. Carey went as far as saying "I think this is the best place I have ever been to"
From Cartagena, we took the bus out to the not so sleepy fishing village of Taganga. Taganga was an interesting place because it had about a zillion hostels on dirt roads and hundreds of hippies + travelers, mixed with clubs playing the loudest music possible until late into the evening...so much for the sleepy fishing village we were expecting! We only had one day here before our trek into Tayrona National Park. We spent the day floating around on tubes, beer in hand trying to cool ourselves off from the intense heat! Not so bad..haha. Oh ya, Dave felt something nudge his leg while propelling the tube for Shannon and I, we later found out that we were in the area where the small sharks hang out...real cool! (So Carey was the smart one who wouldn't let any part of her body touch the water assuming the hilarious plank position while on the tube ;-) At night we ventured out to the local disco and ended off the night by sitting by the beach under the stars
The next morning we made the 3 hour hike through the jungle through Tayrona National Park to Cabo Beach, passing monkeys, crabs, iguanas, gigantic industrious ants and the biggest bumble bee we have ever seen (cue Lauren screaming and running around in circles). When we finally got to the beach, we thought we had stepped out onto a movie set. It was the nicest beach any of us had ever seen. Cabo beach has two half moon shaped bays separated by huge rocks and lined with jungle palm trees and white sand. Really really really nice...and hot as hell! Walking up upon the beach was like stumbling upon the ``others`` in the show Lost, or some kind of jungle commune. There were tents everywhere, hammocks, people playing soccer and frolicking in the ocean. So we joined in on the frolicking and sun tanning in this jungle beach dream from the movies. All was well in paradise until we got into our tents the first night. We immediately regretted the decision of tent over hammock when we got into the damp, sweltering sleep deprivation chambers. The next night we slept in the hammocks arriba (on top of the giant rock looking over the ocean) Now, this was the life....until a huge tropical storm hit us at about 5 am! We all came to the conclusion that there is no real paradise, you can be in the most beautiful place..but if it`s not the intense heat and salt that gets to you, it`s the sand fleas or mosquitoes or giant tropical storms from mother nature and swoop in and remind you who is boss
After two days of roughing it in paradise, we headed out of the jungle and had to say a very quick and sad goodbye to our friends who had to catch their flight to Bogota! We were so sad to see them go and wished they could all just quit their jobs and come along with us for the rest of our adventure...damn reality, it always gets in the way! After we parted ways, Dave and I just chilled out in Taganga and planned our next steps. We decided on Medellin..home to the most beautiful girls, with the biggest boobs (apparently plastic surgery is cheep in Colombia) ...I wonder who influenced that decision ;-)

Hosted by Local Sprouts cooperative co-owner Jonah Fertig and Jeremy Bloom, a local web producer and "Internet farmer," the Local Foods Breakfast lets people interested in the local food movement to discuss trends and events including food economy and bartering systems, emergency food systems, farming and ocean activities, school and community gardens, composting and recycling. The discussions are on the third Tuesday of each month, and run roughly from 8 to 9:30 am.
It's held at an iconic venue of Portland's local-food movement, Local Sprouts Café, at 649 Congress Street. The café, as the hub of an organization created in 2007 and incorporated as a worker-owned cooperative in July 2008, serves food with local and organic ingredients to build connections within the community, to grow sustainability, to support Maine farmers, to protect the environment, and to expand the local economy.
The breakfasts are an extension of those efforts. "There are so many great people in the area who have ideas for projects, but there can be a disconnect," Fertig says. "This is about making connections and getting people together. It is a way to see where there are overlaps in what people are doing, where there are holes and where collaborations can be made."
He said it is important to increase the conversation, communication, and collaboration of what people are working on in the area's food systems.
Attendees, whether they are farmers, business owners, lawyers, accountants, schools, emergency-food service organizations, or people with technical, marketing, or writing skills, can meet and discuss ways to share resources and collaborate.
The gatherings led to a desire for a larger food discussion, presently called the Portland Community Food Forum: Creating a Healthy and Resilient Food System. It's tentatively scheduled to be held on Thursday, April 19, at the Woodfords Congregational Church in Portland, Fertig says.
The forum will be similar to the breakfasts, but much larger. Fertig expects the forum to include presentations on specific topics, but the bulk of the time will be for people to meet one another, and to gather in large-group and small-table discussions.
"The breakfasts have been successful in connecting people, and the forum would bring that information to a larger group," Fertig says. "Just like the concept of Local Sprouts, these meetings are about how with a supportive environment, ideas and collaborations can grow."
Lisa Fernandes is the coordinator of the Eat Local Foods Coalition and founder and organizer of the Resilience Hub–Portland Maine Permaculture group. ELFC is a state-wide group that meets monthly and works toward a locally-based food system. But while ELFC brings together organizations, agencies, businesses, and individuals who are involved in strengthening the local food system for a monthly meeting, Fernandes says there is no equivalent platform for people just in the greater Portland area. "This forum we are putting together is experimental in a way," she says. "It hasn't been done in Portland, but we are creating one space where everyone involved in the local food system can come together."

While Intel has been quick to regain a lot of the popularity lost during the past few years, that is no excuse to forget about the #2 company in computer processing. AMD made a name for itself with the original Athlon and Athlon 64 processors and it would only seem logical that its next generation product called Phenom (K10) was to raise expectations all over the place, and it did.
Today we will be comparing the Phenom 9500, 9600, 9700 and the 9900 (B2 Stepping) against the recently released Core 2 Duo E8400, as well as the very popular Core 2 Quad Q6600. An older Athlon64 X2 5200+ processor will be added to the mix as well.

Will 1 deep with mediums above work ie will bees winter in the deep without a med below. All opinions welcome.
Will 1 deep with mediums above work ie will bees winter in the deep without a med below. All opinions welcome.
Poppy's Bees, Queens, and Honey
Mammoth Cave, KY
Of course it will work. I overwinter one frame of worker bees in a medium. Though I have to baby
sit them all winter long with a small heat pad. We don't have snow here only frosts in the coldest winter months.
Maybe you can reverse the box like summer time a deep and a medium on top then in winter time
a medium and a deep on top. A deep on top so they can have access to more foods and room for bigger
cluster. How's your weather like in the winter time? Does it snows there too? If snowing then I would overwinter
with 2 deeps and a medium with the medium on top for the honey box. What ever you do as long as they stay
warm and dry with access to foods they should be fine. That is why preparation before the winter weather is so important for their survival.
You can try with a strong deep hive full of bees. No diseases or mites. Then supplement feed with patty, dry sugar and plenty of honey.
Protect them from the snows too. Yes, it will work if you plan ahead of time. See this overwinter hive with 4" thick pink foam all over it. Only
a small entrance to let them went inside the hive. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=53sQj8h2m3w
In your location bees will winter fine with a medium above a deep, around my part of the country this is called a "hive and a half". I use 2 deeps myself to insure that the bees will have enough to winter through and have enough food and space for brood rearing in early spring as well.
Bill...in Southeast Ohio Zone 6A, Never look down on anybody unless you are helping them up
No probelm. I overwintered bees this winter in a 5 frame nuc box outside and a single deep. I find that a deep and 2 meds work well in a M-D-M arrangement. In the spring if needed I just rotate the 2 mediums.
The pollen box maneuver was added after several years of successful CBing. So, the answer is most of the time. At the risk of getting into a flap with the all-medium gang, sometimes the brood nest fails to recede to the bottom when mediums are used in the broodnest.
overwintering in a single deep and one medium of honey above works good here in northeast al. i did end up having to shuffle some honey from the heavier hives to the lighter ones because of the protracted winter this year.
having the medium (or shallow) on the bottom for pollen gives you the empty comb needed to bring up and checkerboard with the honey in the top box before the first flows start in late winter. plus it is a safe place for it to be as you don't worry about having to store it.

I'm so sorry this has happened.. I have used shout with good results as well. I would contact the manufacturer as they probably have had this problem with other quilters. Best of luck to you and let us know how you make out.
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
I'm so sorry this has happened.. I have used shout with good results as well. I would contact the manufacturer as they probably have had this problem with other quilters. Best of luck to you and let us know how you make out.
Creativity is the essence of the soul
I had the same problem with my very first queen sized quilt...after many treatments & multiple washings (5 or 6), all cold water & no dryer, it finally came clean...and yes, it was embedded under the thread. After soaking with a mixture of dawn dishwashing & oxy and gently scrubbing with a toothbrush under the stitching, all was well. Hang in there and keep working on it...wishing you the best!
I'm so envious of you for being able to sew with your hands, i'm not able to hold the needles. I think if I went through all that and it wouldn't come out I would KILL SOMETHING!!!!!! lol
I sure hope you can get it out, maybe you could say you made it that way. but ty for the thread, i will not use the blue on white.
I had a LA class and the instructor recommended "Sew Clean" from Bear Thread Designs.
My go to stain cleaner is 2 tbsp hydrogen peroxide, 1 tbsp regular Dawn dish soap, and 1 tsp baking soda. Mix together and apply with a soft toothbrush. It is the best stain remover and removes set in stains that Shout won't touch. It also works on colors. You might want to try this if the other suggestions don't work. Oh, it is also good for removing blood and grease. Good luck.
I can definitely sympathize with you. I made my daughter a queen size DWR greens, cream and mauve quilt several years ago and prewashed all fab. thinking all would be o.k., and when the quilt needed to be washed, one of the greens faded on different parts of the quilt. I have rewashed many times and tried everything to get the bleed parts out, but to no avail. The quilt has never been in the dryer. Finally just gave up on it. But since then I found on Nancy's Notions (haven't used it yet) so I have no idea if it works or not, but it is a bottle of solution called "Marking Pencil Removal" by Quilter's Rule International. it says it will safely remove marking pencil marksfrom all types of sewing projects without phosphates- the following types of pencil marks can be removed with this- Berol, Very Thin, EZpencils. General pencils and graphite leads, (Note yellow pencil markings may take several applications to remove). I just copied all of this information from the bottle label. - after spraying this solution on the item allow 15 seconds to pentrate, then remove with a clean damp cloth. The Label says it is for Hobby, Crafts, Sewing and Quilting. You might want to order some of this and see if it will work. I have no idea, but I wish you the best of luck. When things like this happen it is so disheartening and upsetting. Let us know what happens. Gerbie
My best to you in this new adventure!
GramMER to eighteen, plus two great-granddaughters and four adopted greats soon we hope!
I agree with sharoney

The data on vehicles available were obtained from Housing Question 9 in the 2009 American Community Survey. The question was asked at occupied housing units. These data show the number of passenger cars, vans, and pickup or panel trucks of one-ton capacity or less kept at home and available for the use of household members. Vehicles rented or leased for one month or more, company vehicles, and police and government vehicles are included if kept at home and used for non-business purposes. Dismantled or immobile vehicles are excluded. Vehicles kept at home but used only for business purposes also are excluded. The availability of vehicles provides information for numerous transportation programs. When the data is used in conjunction with place-of-work and journey-to-work data, the information can provide insight into vehicle travel and aid in forecasting future travel and its effect on transportation systems. The data also serve to aid in the development of emergency and evacuation planning, special transportation services, and forecasting future energy consumption and needs.
Question/Concept History
The 1996-1998 American Community Survey question provided a space for the respondent to enter the number of vehicles. Since 1999, the American Community Survey question provided seven pre-coded response categories ranging from "None" to "6 or more."
Data on vehicle availability in the American Community Survey can be compared to previous ACS and Census 2000 vehicle availability data.
