It seems there are at least a few people who enjoy these, so I've created a pretty interesting one here. Today you get to choose between famed endurance racers and racing courses in their homeland. The cars are from random eras, but equivalent divisions, and I tried to select tracks that actually hosted these cars at some point.The Rules-1)You have a day of unlimited track use, and all necessary support- fuel, tires, crew, etc2)You do NOT get to keep the cars, you are only tracking them3)You CANNOT change cars or tracks, you can only select one of the options givenSo, would you rather drive a-Porsche 956/962around the Nurburgring Grand Prix Circuit
Peugeot 908 HDion Circuit de la Sarthe
Cadillac LMParound Laguna Seca
Toyota GT-Onearound Suzuka
Jaguar XJR9 LMon Brands Hatch
Lancia LC2on Monza??
I don't know enough about all the cars to make a decision there.I'm having a hard time picking between Suzuka and Laguna Seca.
"There's a lie that all drivers tell themselves -- death is something that happens to other people. That's how you find the courage to get in the car in the first place. But more powerful than even the fear of death itself is the will to win."
^^^ Ditto for meBut for me it would be between Circuit de la Sarthe, The 'Ring and Laguna Seca.
Awesome WYR idea, I stalled out trying to make my next one hard enough. I still have an idea brewing, but its going to be a while before I post it. As for this WYR, I gotta go with 962 at the Ring. Sarthe is extremely tempting, and my ultimate would be a 917 at Sarthe. I cant imagine the nerve it would take to run a 917 full throttle down the mulsanne, scary stuff.

Remember the old Twitter, the one where there was just a box that asked "What are you doing?" and a stream of replies from people you knew? I yearn for those days, when Twitter knew what it was, we knew what it was for and we were willing to do anything to support this plucky little start-up.
Those simple days are long behind us as Twitter embarks on the next leg of its mission to, well the only word that adequately sums up what Twitter is doing with its new redesign is "complexificationing". Hot on its heels of redesign that created the annoying @Username and Activity tabs, Twitter has now created a sleeker, cleaner design that, frankly, sucks. The web version is rolling out gradually, as usual, but if you want to see how it will work take a look at the mobile website or mobile apps.
The redesign seems to be based on how they want users to behave, rather than how they actually do. The new @ tab, which you would assume would be your Mentions, defaults now to Interactions, which is the same as the now-old-Twitter's @username tab. If you actually want just your @ messages, you need to click the new sub-tab, Mentions.
Now, remember the Dickbar: the annoying black bar at the top of the iPhone app that promoted trending topics and ads which everyone hated and that Twitter had to embarrassingly remove shortly after it launched? That's now the Discover tab where you find search (such that it is), hashtags, trends, and suggestions for who to follow. Basically, all the stuff that isn't really about you but which Twitter really wishes you'd pay more attention to.
Finally, the Me tab. As John Gruber, in an excellent overview of #NewNewTwitter at Daring Fireball, says:
"Me". Oh boy. Stashed into this tab are your profile, your direct messages, your Twitter Lists, and the interface for switching to other Twitter accounts. This tab is the conceptual carpet under which Twitter swept everything that didn't fit under "Home", "Connect", or "Discover".
Direct messages, which used to be in the menu bar, is now buried under three taps. We can only assume that Twitter either thinks no one sends DMs or really wishes that they wouldn't, because no sensible person would hide a key bit of functionality like this.
I find myself entirely unsurprised that New New Twitter is so terrible. Twitter stopped focusing on what users do and want a long time ago. They even threw a fit at developers, many of whom do think about that stuff, telling them not to bother replicating anything Twitter already does, like making apps or desktop clients, or else.
It seems as if Twitter is stuck on the Trajectory of Suck, where each new redesign, each new feature takes Twitter further and further away from its original mission. Sadly, it's not alone.
Also rocketing along towards suckitude is Facebook. A social network with privacy settings so complexificationated that you need a PhD to work them out. Facebook, too, has been through multiple redesigns, each one adding more and more functionality, not all of which users like or want. Frictionless sharing, the news feed, subscriptions and more, all wrapped up in a counterintuitive, confusing and visually hideous user interface.
And then there's Google, spreading the redesign pixiedust over all of its products, one by one. Take the new Gmail: The blandness of the colour scheme makes it hard to see which emails have been read and which haven't. The default setting it too widely spaced (you have to pick "compact" from the settings to get a view like the old version). The Compose button, now huge and red, dominates the sidebar and looks like it was designed by an eight year old. Text buttons like Archive, Spam and Delete have been replaced by icons which, I think, are less intuitive at a glance.
It's like Microsoft Word all over again as these 'new' web companies blindly tread the well-worn path to bloat.
The first word processor that I used professionally was WordStar which used' dot commands' for formatting, like .lm to set the left margin. Then Word came along and it was a revelation. It truly was the best word processor I'd ever seen and it worked like a dream. For a while. But with each new release came a bunch of features that I didn't know I was supposed to want and never used.
Eventually, Word did everything you could possibly want a word processor to do, but they still felt driven to keep on adding features, no matter how useless or poorly implemented. You could write your webpages in Word! They'd be terrible and it would be a horrible process, but you could run a website using a word processor. As these new bits of functionality came along, so the useful bits of Word, the bits you really wanted to work perfectly, started to get buried under layers of menus. The software became bloated, crashed a lot, and hogged your computer's resources. Now I only open Word when I have to.
The conclusion is, however, inescapable: The lovely, sleek, Web 2.0 that we all knew and loved has turned into Word. If this is what Web 3.0 looks like, I think I'll go hide out in Usenet until it's all over.

In the afternoon he took us to a small waterfall with some fossils around it. But Dave got annoyed that they kept getting their geology wrong.
After a last quiet night in Malargue we made our way to San Rafael the next morning.
We hired out some rickety old bikes and cycled out to do some wine tasting. The opening times for the wineries were really sporadic, so we headed straight for the most famous one, Bianchi, which makes wine and Champagne. Because we spoke English, we got our own personal tour around the winery, which was really cool, and got to taste some yummy Champagne, and some expensive wine. We also picked up a couple of bottles for later. Feeling by now a bit tipsy on our way back we dropped in on one more winery, La Abeja, a small place, it wasn't the best, but we got free wine!

Trunk Lid Swapping Guide?
OK, I picked up my STi on Friday. Had all of 5 miles on the odometer.
Damn it's hard to keep it under 4000 RPM!
Gotta get rid of the spoiler as it obscures my vision of the horizon to check for pursuing blue lights.
I'm now actively looking to swap trunk lids with a 2004 Aspen White WRX, but I'd like to know what's involved or how long it might take.
Are there any online guides anywhere that show how to do this?
Damn I am looking to swap a java black trunk. But from what I hear it is pretty easy to swap. All you have to do is switch the springs because the STi trunk springs w/ a spoilerless trunk will result in a catapault. Also you have to switch the lock. I hear it is pretty easy and takes all of 10 minutes
Ahh...good input as I hadn't considered either of those issues.
Are the differences in weight between the WRX spoiler and the STi spoiler that much?
Well I am spoilerless but yeah I think it is a significant difference, because the STi spoiler isn't carbon fiber like the evos.
ill swap my stock 2002 spolier with any blue sti spolier/trunk any time.. lemme know where i can find these swapper people... thanks

News Release Article from
Archived - Fairness for the Self-Employed Act passed by Parliament

TORONTO, ONTARIO, December 16, 2009-The Honourable Diane Finley, Minister of Human Resources and Skills Development, is pleased that Bill C-56, the Fairness for the Self-Employed Act, has received Royal Assent. The legislation extends Employment Insurance (EI) special benefits, which are maternity, parental, sickness and compassionate care benefits, to the self‑employed on a voluntary basis.
"Thanks to this new initiative, self-employed Canadians will no longer have to choose between their family and their business responsibilities," said Minister Finley. "It is good family policy, and it represents one of the most significant enhancements to the EI program in the last decade."
The new measure responds to the Government's 2008 pledge to help provide improved economic security and support for all those who are self-employed. Self‑employed Canadians who choose to take advantage of EI special benefits will be required to opt into the program at least one year prior to claiming benefits, and will be responsible for making premium payments for the tax year in which they apply to the program. Subject to final approvals of regulations, they will be able to voluntarily opt into the EI program effective January 31, 2010, and as a transitional measure those who register on or before April 1, 2010, will be able to collect benefits as early as January 1, 2011. Special benefits provided to self-employed individuals will mirror those currently available to salaried employees under the EI program.
Self-employed residents of Quebec will continue to receive maternity and parental benefits through the Quebec Parental Insurance Plan provided by the Government of Quebec. In addition, they will now be eligible to take advantage of sickness and compassionate care benefits offered by the Government of Canada through the EI program.
"The self-employed have previously had little or no income protection to cope with major life events such as giving birth, caring for a newborn or newly adopted child, being sick or injured, or caring for a gravely ill family member," added Minister Finley. "This government is now pleased to be providing these Canadians with greater peace of mind with respect to their future financial security."
This measure demonstrates that the Government continues to make responsive and responsible choices to support Canadians through the EI program. It is just the latest in a series of improvements the Government has already made.

You may have seen the letter on this page last Sunday from a Missouri woman who wrote to explain why her first visit to Paducah may be her last.
Crystal Mittelhauser and her husband Carl, a retired air traffic controller, stopped here last month on their way back to Sedalia from a Florida trip. They enjoyed their overnight stay at the Fairfield Inn, their dinner at a Mexican restaurant, and most of all, the beauty of the riverfront and its historical paintings.
Everything went well until their Chevy Impala was pulled over by a Paducah police officer as they were returning to the hotel. Carl, who was driving, hadn't buckled his seat belt and received a ticket.
"Was my husband wrong?" Crystal wrote. "Of course he was. Did he deserve a ticket? I suspect a warning would have done just as much good. We thought Paducah would be a very nice place for our stopover. Due to this $25 ticket and the police officer's decision, we will now go a little farther each direction to avoid Paducah."
She closed with this thought: "You probably will not miss the money we would have spent in your lovely town, but the $25 the city earned from this hardly seems worth it to me or to our state police son, when we asked him."
I spoke with Paducah Police Chief Brandon Barnhill and Capt. Don Hodgson, head of traffic enforcement, to get their take on her complaint.
One point they emphasized is the city has no direct financial incentive to write seat belt tickets. The $25 goes to the state, not the city. Yes, the city gets federal grants through the state to support its enforcement efforts, but that money is not tied to ticket volume.
The department has good reason to take seat belt violations seriously, they said. In more than half of the state's 638 traffic deaths last year, the victims were not belted. Paducah police officers issued 9,781 traffic citations in 2013, and nearly 3,900 (almost four in 10) were seat belt tickets.
"Speeding, distracted driving and unbuckled seat belts cause the majority of accident injuries," Barnhill said. "We know no one likes to get a ticket, but it's our job to enforce traffic laws and make Paducah's streets as safe as we can."
McCracken County has long had one of the state's highest injury accident rates, and recent statistics suggest enforcement efforts are paying off. In the first quarter of this year, the number of collisions is down 15 percent compared to the average of the last four years, and the number of injury collisions is 24 percent lower.
While officers have discretion to issue verbal or written warnings, tickets are written in the vast majority of seat belt stops. Barnhill and Hodgson said several variables affect whether a warning is issued.
Acting courteously when stopped (as the Mittelhausers did) can't hurt, but that seldom is enough to avoid a citation. Acting rudely, on the other hand, pretty much eliminates any chance of a warning. Or as Hodgson put it, "If you're a jackass, you're going to get a ticket,"
Kentucky, like most states, has what's called a "primary enforcement law" allowing occupants to be ticketed simply for not using their seat belts. A smaller number of states have a "secondary enforcement law" which requires another violation before a seat belt citation can be written. Missouri is one of those states, which may be why the Mittelhausers were surprised to get a seat belt ticket without any other violation.
It's not surprising that more people buckle up in states with primary seat belt laws than in states without them. In Kentucky, seat belt use was estimated at 84 percent last year, compared with 79 percent in Missouri. Both rates, however, fell below the national average of 87 percent. Illinois, which has a primary belt law, has one of the nation's highest compliance rates at 94 percent.
If you really dislike the seat belt law, you might consider moving to New Hampshire, the only state without one. I guess the lack of a law there squares with the state's motto: Live Free or Die.
I gave Crystal a call on Friday to tell her I was writing about her letter and share some of what I had learned. She asked me to note that both she and Carl are strong seat belt advocates, which made the ticket all the more disappointing. She added they may make another visit here after all.
"We really did like the town, and the people we met were very welcoming," she said. "I suspect we will come back. And I'll make sure Carl is buckled up."

Phil Collins
Watch Online
Fan Reviews
, London, England
Birth Name
Philip David Charles Collins
Phil Collins was born January 31st, 1951 in Chiswick, England. He got his first drum, one of those noisy tin ones, at the age of 5. His first proper kit came when he was 12, and whether in front of the mirror or the TV he would be drumming along to any music he could.
A natural performer Collins attended stage school, and was soon playing in London's West End as the Artful Dodger in the musical Oliver. The cheeky Cockney image from Dickens camenaturally and would stand him in good stead during his future successes. He soon formed a band called The Real Thing and played his first gigs. He was playing with anyone he could, and eventually joined a group called The Freeholdafter being the only one to reply to their Melody Maker advert. The Freehold saw Collins make his recording debut with a self-penned number called "Lying Crying Dying", the original demo of which has just recently surfaced.
After a while, supporting John Walker of The Walker Brothers, Collins and his guitarist friend Ronnie Caryl formed Hickory who soon found themselves with a concept album, the backing of Phonogram, and a new name, Flaming Youth.
Their album Ark II, was premiered at the London Planetarium and received lots of favourable press, but musical differences and a lack of commercial success soon meant it was time to answer another Melody Maker ad, this time from a struggling young band from Surrey, called Genesis.
Genesis had been gigging up and down the country without much success, and were still recovering from the departure of guitarist Anthony Phillips. They had also decided a change of drummer was required and after an eye opening audition at Peter Gabriel's parents' house, Collins was in.
Playing for a while as a four piece, including the odd gig with Ronnie Caryl on guitar, Genesis soon felt the benefit of their new percussionist, his much needed sense of humour and an unlimited enthusiasm for playing injected a new energy into the group. As Tony Banks said "He was by far the best musician in the band". Then with the arrival of Steve Hackett on guitar the final piece was in place.
For the next five years Collins played drums, sang, wrote and arranged songs, played sessions, and generally helped Genesis become one of the leading lights in the Progressive rock field. Such cs as "Supper's Ready", "Watcher of the Skies", "The Cinema Show" and "Get 'Em Out by Friday" all bear the trademark Collins feel. The stunning "Apocalypse in 9/8" section from "Supper's Ready" is the group at it's creative peak, and Collins is in there driving it all along. He even had time to join jazz-fusion rockers Brand X, with whom he recorded several albums.
When Gabriel quit the group in 1975, the music press jumped on the 'Genesis to split' bandwagon, the band of course carried on and Collins stepped up to the microphone and ended up sounding more like Gabriel than Gabriel did.
A Trick of the Tail and its follow up Wind and Wuthering, were two well-received and successful albums and put Collins well and truly in the spotlight. By now he was writing more so it was only a matter of time before the solo career arrived.
In 1980 he played drums on Peter Gabriel's third solo album and at the singers request left his cymbals at home. The resulting 'in your face' bombastic drum sound was put to good use by Collins on his debut solo single "In The Air Tonight" released in Jan 81, it raced to no.2 in the UK and achieved a top twenty position in the USA.
His first solo album, Face Value, sold by the truckload and was a number one smash, but again rumours about Genesis splitting up were proved to be wrong. The band decided on a kind of group album then solo album policy, which kept both camps happy. The album made Collins an instant solo star.
In Nov 82 his second album "Hello I Must Be Going" hit the number 2 spot, and provided him with a number one single, an uptempo cover of the old Supremes song "You Can't Hurry Love". Many old time Genesis fans found all this three minute pop song stuff hard to swallow, but the sales of both band and solo artist kept on rising. And as Collins once said "You don't wear the same clothes you wore ten years ago do you?" Some old Genesis fans obviously did.
Now running two parallel careers at once, it seemed Collins was everywhere. He won a Grammy for the song "Against all Odds", scored another hit with "Sussudio" and in Feb 85 he had a chart-topping album on both sides of the Atlantic with 'No Jacket Required'.
For the Live Aid concerts of 1985, he played a set at Wembley Stadium, jumped on The Concorde and flew to America, where he played in the much anticipated but, as it turned out, very disappointing Led Zeppelin reunion. Even Phil couldn't work miracles. He did however stamp his mark all over the Band Aid single "Do They Know its Christmas".
Always wanting to perform with other artists, Collins dueted with Earth Wind and Fire's Phil Bailey for the "Easy Lover" single, which was another UK No.1 in Mar 85. He also had a US No.1 with "Separate Lives", a duet with Marilyn Martin in Sep 85.
In 1986 Genesis scored another multi-million seller with 'Invisible Touch'. A massive world tour, and a string of hit singles followed. Collins was one of the biggest stars around, either with Genesis or on his own.
He starred in the 1988 movie "Buster" and notched up another US. No. 1 single with "Two Hearts". His next solo effort was released the following year, "…But Seriously" was again No.1 everywhere and spawned several more hits, with "Another Day in Paradise" being the biggest.
The Phil Collins live show was all the things he couldn't do with Genesis. Lots of jazzy work outs, plenty of ballads, and no songs about lawnmowers - and he even had his own brass section. The musicianship was of the highest standard, and of course there was plenty of effortless drumming. The ubiquitous live album soon followed, "Serious hits...Live" showed Phil having fun with his band and doing it rather well.
"Both Sides" from Nov 1993 was very much a solo album with Phil playing all the instruments and wearing the producer's hat, it topped the UK charts but peaked at 13 in the US. Genesis then had their biggest ever album. 'We Can't Dance' sold over 15 million copies and they had so many hit singles that some older fans were hanging up their flares in horror. The resulting tour filled the worlds biggest stadiums, and maintained the position as the world's top live act.
In 1996 Collins stunned many fans by announcing his departure from Genesis after 26 years. He decided that a solo career was all he needed, plus the odd soundtrack, world tour etc., and he released another album. "Dance into the Light" had more of a band feel to it, with the odd Gospel tune thrown in for good measure.
His greatest hits, and there was a lot of them, were released as a 'Best Of' in 1998. Put out a few years earlier the sales would have been frightening, but it still put another shiny disc on the studio wall.
His love of big band jazz resulted in an album of his own songs rearranged for big band, called, "A Hot Night in Paris" . It swung, got you snapping your fingers, but didn't really trouble the pop charts, though it charted high in the US Billboard Jazz Charts.
Walt Disney asked him in to compose the songs to their latest animated feature "Tarzan", the resulting single, "You'll be in my Heart", was a major US hit and earned him a prestigious Oscar award. They even threw in another Grammy and a Golden Globe. He is currently working on three new Disney projects.
With a new album in the pipeline, and a continued interest in all aspects of his past, Phil Collins has proved that there is no substitute for talent. Not bad for an Artful Dodger from Chiswick.

You are herecontent / An Open Letter from Ralph Nader to Cindy Sheehan
An Open Letter from Ralph Nader to Cindy Sheehan
CONTACT: Ralph Nader 202-387-8034
WASHINGTON - August 10 -
Dear Ms. Sheehan,
From your grief over the loss of your son, Casey, in Iraq has come the courage to spotlight nationally the cowardly character trait of a President who refuses to meet with anyone or any group critical of his illegal, fabricated, deceptive war and occupation of that ravaged country. As a messianic militarist, Mr. Bush turned aside his own father's major advisers who warned him of the terroristic, political, and diplomatic perils to the United States from an invasion of Iraq. He refused to listen.
Thirteen organizations in early 2003 separately wrote their President
requesting a meeting to have him hear them out as to why they opposed his
drumbeating, on-the-road-to war policies. These groups represented millions of Americans.
They included church leaders, veterans, business, labor, retired intelligence
officials, students, women and others. They are among those Americans who are
not allowed through the carefully screened public audiences that are bused to
arenas around the country to hear his repetitive slogans for carrying on this
draining, boomeranging war. They each wrote President Bush but he never
bothered even to acknowledge their letters simply to say no to the requested
meetings. Not even the courtesy of a reply came from their White House. Ever since
then it has been the same-exclusion, denial, contempt and arrogance for views
counter to that of Mr. Bush and Mr. Cheney and the tight circle around them
that composes the inner tin ear of this Administration. Why, they even refuse to
listen to objections by their own government's military lawyers (JAG) over
repeated violations of due process of law. When will he realize that he is
supposed to be the President of all the people, not just those misled into
supporting his Iraq maneuvers?
Perhaps the breakthrough will begin this hot August in Crawford, Texas, with
the devastating loss of a beloved child transformed into a mission for the
soul of our country. This rogue regime, led by two draft-dodgers and officially
counseled by similar pro-war evaders during the Vietnam War, is not "our
country." Millions of Americans, including military and public servants in his
Administration, and many in the retired military, diplomatic and intelligence
services, opposed this war, still oppose it and do not equate George W. Bush and
Dick Cheney with the United States of America.
Our flag stands for "liberty and justice for all." Our flag must never be
misused or defiled as a bandana for war crimes, as a gag against the people's
freedom of speech and conscience or as a fig leaf to hide the shame of charlatans
in high public office, who violate our Constitution, our laws and our
founding fathers' framework for accountable, responsive government.
You will be goaded to cross the semantic line against a President who himself
has crossed the much graver constitutional line that has cost so many lives
on both sides and continues to cost and cost our country in so many ways
domestically and before the world. Neglecting America for the Iraq war has become
the widening downward path trod by the Bush government.
Authenticity, bereft of contrivances, is what must confront this White House
Misleader. And authenticity is what you are and what drives you as you demand
to see this resistant President. He is on an intermittent month long vacation,
with spells for fundraisers and other insulated events. His schedule provides
ample time for such a meeting. You reflect the hopes and prayers of millions
of like-minded Americans. Should he relent and opens his doors, be sure to ask
why he lowballs U.S. casualties in Iraq, deleting and disrespecting soldiers
seriously hurt or sickened in the Iraq war theatre, but not in direct combat.
Remind him of those soldiers back in military hospitals who, with their
families, wonder why they are not being counted as they cope with their serious and
permanent disabilities. (60 Minutes, CBS program). Ask him why, despite
Pentagon audits and GAO investigations about corruption, waste and non-delivery of
services in Iraq by profiteering large corporations totaling billions of
dollars, this Commander of Chief accepted campaign contributions from their
executives and proceeds to let this giant corporate robbery continue without the
requisite law and order?
Consider bringing to him a copy of President Dwight Eisenhower's famous
"Cross of Iron" speech, delivered in April 1953 before the nation's newspaper
editors in Washington, D.C. And add statements by Marine General Anthony Zinni
(ret.), a Middle East specialist who strongly criticized the Bush-Cheney war
policy before and after March 2003. May you and your associates succeed in
galvanizing the public debate in this country over why a growing majority of Americans
now think it was a costly mistake to invade Iraq and want our soldiers back,
with the U.S. out of that country. He knows that his support for how he is
handling this war-occupation is falling close to one third of respondents in
recent polls-the lowest yet. Even with the mass-media at his disposal everyday, he
now represents a minority of public opinion, which should give him pause
before closing his oil marinated doors on majority views in this nation.
May you prevail where others have failed to secure an audience with Mr. Bush.

A list of those 13 organizations please, Ralph, who wrote to Bush in 2003. And thank you for this excellent letter.
Go Ralph Nader, you said it right! And go Cindy, there are so many behind you. I have asked all my angels to tend to you and give you strength to keep on keeping on for us!
Keep it up Cindy. Bush picked the wrong person to dismiss.
He always has amuntion to attack pundits and people in power, but when American mothers get a whif of his smear attacks against you - watch out.
It may well be angry mothers who have the power to finally call this LIAR to account. The press is watching, mothers are too, keep it up.
I didn't vote for you because I believed JK was the only chance we had of getting our "worst nightmare" out of there. It didn't work. I am so sorry, because you were the best man for the job. This electoral "system" stinks.
You would be a great president. I always believed that about you.
...and...Add Cindy's name to the growing list of new American heros.
Ralph you have been a heo to me for many years.I was a Nader Raider in San Diego back in the 70,s.Cindy you are a new hero to me.I was with you last Sat when it all started.I will be back there at Camp Casey on Fri.I am a VFP and will stand proudly with you come hell or high water.For those that don't know Camp Casey is on the road to "Ws" beloved Chickenhawk Ranch.Who would have thunk that lil Cindy Sheehan would galvanize the Anti-War,PRO LIFE movement.God will we will get our country back from the Neo-Con Death Cult that controls it now.
God Bless
Michael Young
Hi Cindy!!
Thank you for standing up to those cowards who hide in the White House.
My deepest sympathy on the loss of your son.
May all the powers that be, help you help us. God Bless You.
How can bush be proud of a country who is in deep hurt because of him.
I have no one in Iraq but I cry alot, all the time, everytime they show those boys who died in this illegal war.
I recently saw a woman with a sticker on her car that said "half of my heart is in Iraq". I asked her if she had anyone there. She said that her husband was in Iraq. I gave her $20 to show my support. She tried to return the money, and she started to cry. I started to cry. I told her I hated Bush for what he has done. My heart goes out to all the troops and their families. I told her to buy something for herself or for her husband.
This war needs to stop and we need to take our country back...for the sake of the children....stop this war!
You gave us Bush in 2000.
Why did you need your 8%? Why? You gave us such horror. You gave us such destruction and loss of human life. You destroyed our future. How could you do that?
You disgust me.
Please keep in mind that, during his time in Washington, Ralph Nader
had to fight against corrupt government officials and corporations for the past fifty years on such issues as mandatory seatbelts in vehicles, laws to protect employees from hazardous materials, consumers' protection rights, air quality legislation and trying to establish a third party in presidential elections so when it comes time for you to vote and the parties of the Fatasses and the Jackasses don't turn you on, thank Ralphie boy for putting in an independent in the White House, for your choice and our change!
So stop with the whinin' and the bitchin'!! If people like you took a little extra time to study up on Nader compared to idiots like Bush, Gore, Kerry and any other cardboard cut out politicians, we probably wouldn't be in this mess! And besides, Florida had their election "rigged" long before then because of the Bush Boys, Inc. running it!!
Here it is:
Eisenhower Chance for Peace (Cross of Iron) Speech
Address by President Dwight D. Eisenhower "The Chance for Peace" delivered before the American Society of Newspaper Editors, April 16,1953. A CROSS OF IRON...Seeking some concrete way to dramatize the futility of the Cold War, President Eisenhower hit upon the idea of comparing peaceful expenditures with the expenditures both the United States and the Soviet Union were making for armaments. Then he capped the comparison with a brilliant allusion to William Jennings Bryan's famous phrase "a cross of gold".
In this spring of 1953 the free world weighs one question above all others: the chance for a just peace for all peoples.
To weigh this chance is to summon instantly to mind another recent moment of great decision. It came with that yet more hopeful spring of 1945, bright with the promise of victory and of freedom. The hope of all just men in that moment too was a just and lasting peace.
The 8 years that have passed have seen that hope waver, grow dim, and almost die. And the shadow of fear again has darkly lengthened across the world.
Today the hope of free men remains stubborn and brave, but it is sternly disciplined by experience. It shuns not only all crude counsel of despair but also the self-deceit of easy illusion. It weighs the chance for peace with sure, clear knowledge of what happened to the vain hope of 1945.
In that spring of victory the soldiers of the Western Allies met the soldiers of Russia in the center of Europe. They were triumphant comrades in arms. Their peoples shared the joyous prospect of building, in honor of their dead, the only fitting monument-an age of just peace. All these war-weary peoples shared too this concrete, decent purpose: to guard vigilantly against the domination ever again of any part of the world by a single, unbridled aggressive power.
This common purpose lasted an instant and perished. The nations of the world divided to follow two distinct roads.
The United States and our valued friends, the other free nations, chose one road.
The leaders of the Soviet Union chose another.
The way chosen by the United States was plainly marked by a few clear precepts, which govern its conduct in world affairs.
First: No people on earth can be held, as a people, to be enemy, for all humanity shares the common hunger for peace and fellowship and justice.
Second: No nation's security and well-being can be lastingly achieved in isolation but only ineffective cooperation with fellow-nations.
Third: Any nation's right to form of government and an economic system of its own choosing isinalienable.
Fourth: Any nation's attempt to dictate to other nations their form of government is indefensible.
And fifth: A nation's hope of lasting peace cannot be firmly based upon any race in armaments but rather upon just relations and honest understanding with all other nations.
In the light of these principles the citizens of the United States defined the way they proposed to follow, through the aftermath of war, toward true peace.
This way was faithful to the spirit that inspired the United Nations: to prohibit strife, to relieve tensions, to banish fears. This way was to control and to reduce armaments. This way was to allow all nations to devote their energies and resources to the great and good tasks of healing the war's wounds, of clothing and feeding and housing the needy, of perfecting a just political life, of enjoying the fruits of their own free toil.
The Soviet government held a vastly different vision of the future.
In the world of its design, security was to be found, not in mutual trust and mutual aid but in force: huge armies, subversion, rule of neighbor nations. The goal was power superiority at all costs. Security was to be sought by denying it to all others.
The result has been tragic for the world and, for the Soviet Union, it has also been ironic.
The amassing of the Soviet power alerted free nations to a new danger of aggression. It compelled them in self-defense to spend unprecedented money and energy for armaments. It forced them to develop weapons of war now capable of inflicting instant and terrible punishment upon any aggressor.
It instilled in the free nations-and let none doubt this-the unshakable conviction that, as long as there persists a threat to freedom, they must, at any cost, remain armed, strong, and ready for the risk of war.
It inspired them-and let none doubt this-to attain a unity of purpose and will beyond the power of propaganda or pressure to break, now or ever.
There remained, however, one thing essentially unchanged and unaffected by Soviet conduct: the readiness of the free nations to welcome sincerely any genuine evidence of peaceful purpose enabling all peoples again to resume their common quest of just peace.
The free nations, most solemnly and repeatedly, have assured the Soviet Union that their firm association has never had any aggressive purpose whatsoever. Soviet leaders, however, have seemed to persuade themselves, or tried to persuade their people, otherwise.
And so it has come to pass that the Soviet Union itself has shared and suffered the very fears it has fostered in the rest of the world.
This has been the way of life forged by 8 years of fear and force.
What can the world, or any nation in it, hope for if no turning is found on this dread road?
The worst to be feared and the best to be expected can be simply stated.
The worst is atomic war.
The best would be this: a life of perpetual fear and tension; a burden of arms draining the wealthand the labor of all peoples; a wasting of strength that defies the American system or the Soviet system or any system to achieve true abundance and happiness for the peoples of this earth.
Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed.
This world in arms in not spending money alone.
It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children.
The cost of one modern heavy bomber is this: a modern brick school in more than 30 cities.
It is two electric power plants, each serving a town of 60,000 population.
It is two fine, fully equipped hospitals.
It is some 50 miles of concrete highway.
We pay for a single fighter with a half million bushels of wheat.
We pay for a single destroyer with new homes that could have housed more than 8,000 people.
This, I repeat, is the best way of life to be found on the road the world has been taking.
This is not a way of life at all, in any true sense. Under the cloud of threatening war, it is humanity hanging from a cross of iron.
These plain and cruel truths define the peril and point the hope that come with this spring of 1953.
This is one of those times in the affairs of nations when the gravest choices must be made, if there is to be a turning toward a just and lasting peace.
It is a moment that calls upon the governments of the world to speak their intentions with simplicity and with honest.
It calls upon them to answer the questions that stirs the hearts of all sane men: is there no other way the world may live?
The world knows that an era ended with the death of Joseph Stalin. The extraordinary 30-year span of his rule saw the Soviet Empire expand to reach from the Baltic Sea to the Sea of Japan, finally to dominate 800 million souls.
The Soviet system shaped by Stalin and his predecessors was born of one World War. It survived the stubborn and often amazing courage of second World War. It has lived to threaten a third.
Now, a new leadership has assumed power in the Soviet Union. It links to the past, however strong, cannot bind it completely. Its future is, in great part, its own to make.
This new leadership confronts a free world aroused, as rarely in its history, by the will to stay free.
This free world knows, out of bitter wisdom of experience, that vigilance and sacrifice are the price of liberty.
It knows that the defense of Western Europe imperatively demands the unity of purpose and action made possible by the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, embracing a European Defense Community.
It knows that Western Germany deserves to be a free and equal partner in this community and that this, for Germany, is the only safe way to full, final unity.
It knows that aggression in Korea and in southeast Asia are threats to the whole free community to be met by united action.
This is the kind of free world which the new Soviet leadership confront. It is a world that demands and expects the fullest respect of its rights and interests. It is a world that will always accord the same respect to all others.
So the new Soviet leadership now has a precious opportunity to awaken, with the rest of the world, to the point of peril reached and to help turn the tide of history.
Will it do this?
We do not yet know. Recent statements and gestures of Soviet leaders give some evidence that they may recognize this critical moment.
We welcome every honest act of peace.
We care nothing for mere rhetoric.
We are only for sincerity of peaceful purpose attested by deeds. The opportunities for such deeds are many. The performance of a great number of them waits upon no complex protocol but upon the simple will to do them. Even a few such clear and specific acts, such as the Soviet Union's signature upon the Austrian treaty or its release of thousands of prisoners still held from World War II, would be impressive signs of sincere intent. They would carry a power of persuasion not to be matched by any amount of oratory.
This we do know: a world that begins to witness the rebirth of trust among nations can find its way to a peace that is neither partial nor punitive.
With all who will work in good faith toward such a peace, we are ready, with renewed resolve, to strive to redeem the near-lost hopes of our day.
The first great step along this way must be the conclusion of an honorable armistice in Korea.
This means the immediate cessation of hostilities and the prompt initiation of political discussions leading to the holding of free elections in a united Korea.
It should mean, no less importantly, an end to the direct and indirect attacks upon the security of Indochina and Malaya. For any armistice in Korea that merely released aggressive armies to attack elsewhere would be fraud.
We seek, throughout Asia as throughout the world, a peace that is true and total.
Out of this can grow a still wider task-the achieving of just political settlements for the otherserious and specific issues between the free world and the Soviet Union.
None of these issues, great or small, is insoluble-given only the will to respect the rights of all nations.
Again we say: the United States is ready to assume its just part.
We have already done all within our power to speed conclusion of the treaty with Austria, which will free that country from economic exploitation and from occupation by foreign troops.
We are ready not only to press forward with the present plans for closer unity of the nations of Western Europe by also, upon that foundation, to strive to foster a broader European community, conducive to the free movement of persons, of trade, and of ideas.
This community would include a free and united Germany, with a government based upon free and secret elections.
This free community and the full independence of the East European nations could mean the end of present unnatural division of Europe.
As progress in all these areas strengthens world trust, we could proceed concurrently with the next great work-the reduction of the burden of armaments now weighing upon the world. To this end we would welcome and enter into the most solemn agreements. These could properly include:
The limitation, by absolute numbers or by an agreed international ratio, of the sizes of the military and security forces of all nations.
A commitment by all nations to set an agreed limit upon that proportion of total production of certain strategic materials to be devoted to military purposes.
International control of atomic energy to promote its use for peaceful purposes only and to insure the prohibition of atomic weapons.
A limitation or prohibition of other categories of weapons of great destructiveness.
The enforcement of all these agreed limitations and prohibitions by adequate safe-guards, including a practical system of inspection under the United Nations.
The details of such disarmament programs are manifestly critical and complex. Neither the United States nor any other nation can properly claim to possess a perfect, immutable formula. But the formula matters less than the faith-the good faith without which no formula can work justly and effectively.
The fruit of success in all these tasks would present the world with the greatest task, and the greatest opportunity, of all. It is this: the dedication of the energies, the resources, and the imaginations of all peaceful nations to a new kind of war. This would be a declared total war, not upon any human enemy but upon the brute forces of poverty and need.
The peace we seek, founded upon decent trust and cooperative effort among nations, can be fortified, not by weapons of war but by wheat and by cotton, by milk and by wool, by meat and by timber and by rice. These are words that translate into every language on earth. These are needs that challenge this world in arms.
This idea of a just and peaceful world is not new or strange to us. It inspired the people of the United States to initiate the European Recovery Program in 1947. That program was prepared to treat, with like and equal concern, the needs of Eastern and Western Europe.
We are prepared to reaffirm, with the most concrete evidence, our readiness to help build a world in which all peoples can be productive and prosperous.
This Government is ready to ask its people to join with all nations in devoting a substantial percentage of the savings achieved by disarmament to a fund for world aid and reconstruction. The purposes of this great work would be to help other peoples to develop the underdeveloped areas of the world, to stimulate profitability and fair world trade, to assist all peoples to know the blessings of productive freedom.
The monuments to this new kind of war would be these: roads and schools, hospitals and homes, food and health.
We are ready, in short, to dedicate our strength to serving the needs, rather than the fears, of the world.
We are ready, by these and all such actions, to make of the United Nations an institution that can effectively guard the peace and security of all peoples.
I know of nothing I can add to make plainer the sincere purpose of the United States.
I know of no course, other than that marked by these and similar actions, that can be called the highway of peace.
I know of only one question upon which progress waits. It is this:
What is the Soviet Union ready to do?
Whatever the answer be, let it be plainly spoken.
Again we say: the hunger for peace is too great, the hour in history too late, for any government to mock men's hopes with mere words and promises and gestures.
The test of truth is simple. There can be no persuasion but by deeds.
Is the new leadership of Soviet Union prepared to use its decisive influence in the Communist world, including control of the flow of arms, to bring not merely an expedient truce in Korea but genuine peace in Asia?
Is it prepared to allow other nations, including those of Eastern Europe, the free choice of their own forms of government?
Is it prepared to act in concert with others upon serious disarmament proposals to be made firmly effective by stringent U.N. control and inspection?
If not, where then is the concrete evidence of the Soviet Union's concern for peace?
The test is clear.
There is, before all peoples, a precious chance to turn the black tide of events. If we failed to strive to seize this chance, the judgment of future ages would be harsh and just.
If we strive but fail and the world remains armed against itself, it at least need be divided no longer in its clear knowledge of who has condemned humankind to this fate.
The purpose of the United States, in stating these proposals, is simple and clear.
These proposals spring, without ulterior purpose or political passion, from our calm conviction that the hunger for peace is in the hearts of all peoples--those of Russia and of China no less than of our own country.
They conform to our firm faith that God created men to enjoy, not destroy, the fruits of the earth and of their own toil.
They aspire to this: the lifting, from the backs and from the hearts of men, of their burden of arms and of fears, so that they may find before them a golden age of freedom and of peace.
Note: The President's address was broadcast over television and radio from the Statler Hotel in Washington.
Dwight D. Eisenhower quotes:
"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired, signifies in the final sense a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed."
"The people of the world genuinely want peace. Some day the leaders of the world are going to have to give in, and give it to them."
"I think that people want peace so much that one of these days government had better get out of their way and let them have it. "
"I hate war as only a soldier who has lived it can, only as one who has seen its brutality, its futility, its stupidity."
"When people speak to you about a preventive war, you tell them to go and fight it. After my experience, I have come to hate war. "
"You don't lead by hitting people over the head-that's assault, not leadership."
"War settles nothing."
"I can think of nothing more boring for the American people than to have to sit in their living rooms for a whole half hour looking at my face on their television screens. "
Where's Zinni....Cindy could use the army. Brothers in Arm...the military code.... Hey guys, your buddies need you more than ever now.
How many more need to be injured before you sound an alarm... These chickenhawks have proven beyond a reasonable doubt they don't know how to stabilize Iraq...to train an army... Two years is long enough for them to play soldier... at least they quit designing one of a kind outfits for Bush and Rummy... I can't believe the military isn't screaming about this incompetence to their brothers. I can't believe the congress isn't screaming about the incompetence...is Cindy Sheehan the only one willing to stand up to this incompetence.
List the people that warned Bush... Everyone has been led to believe it was groupthink...whatever that means....I think, it is incompetence by another name.
...for coming out in support of Cindy. This kind of thing is exactly why I voted for you every time you've run, and why I'll vote for you anytime you run. Where are the voices of Bill/Al, or Al/Joe, or John/John? I am 64 years old and Democrat from the womb, but I haven't voted that National ticket since "It's the economy, Stupid". The DLC can go kick rocks as far as I'm concerned. When I see a real Democrat on that ticket, I'll come back. Until then, I'll find one in a 3rd party.
- Sincerely,

|st: Is there a statacommand for a Historical Maximum? & How to cumulate series?
|Mon, 26 Sep 2005 11:31:56 +0100 (BST)
To Whom It May Concern, Is there a command in stata that gives the historical maximum of a series? (Not the absolute maximum!; i.e. the historical maximum at time T is the maximum of the observations from time t=0 up until t=T. Similarly, the historical maximum at time t=T+1 is the maximum of all the observations from time t=0 up until t=T=1, and so on; the historical maximum thus changes over time, whereas the absolute maximum can only take one value. My second question is more straightforward; is there a command to cumulate series in Stata (i.e. to calculate the sum of price increases over time)? Sincerely, Bob Rijkers P.S. I am trying to write a do-file to run the Gately price-decomposition in Stata. This decomposition decomposes a price-series into a) an initial condition, P1, b) the cumulative series of price decreases, Pdecr, c) the cumulative series of price-increases that have led to an increase in the historical maximum, Pmax d) the cumulative series of price-increases that do not lead to an increase in the historical maximum, Pincr: Pt=P1+Pdecr+Pincr+Pmax * * For searches and help try: * http://www.stata.com/support/faqs/res/findit.html * http://www.stata.com/support/statalist/faq * http://www.ats.ucla.edu/stat/stata/

Best Answer
I am 18 years old, and I am still going strong. I have Catster friends who are in their 20's. Kittys can live very long and healthy lives with good care, and lots of love.
I sure hope you do! You are adorable!

"Normal" is a very broad term that has many variables. Indoor kitties tend to live longer because they are more likely to be free of diseases. But even indoor cats, like people, can be subject to illnesses that can shorten their lives. A teenaged cat is considered a "senior". But some kitties live into their 20's.

text: I have a Nikkor 35mm 1.4 AIS that I bought new in 2000, used very little at the time and then had been in the box ever since. If I look through the lens in bright light at full aperture, I can see some small dots or specks inside the lens which could be dust or something. First, how can anything get in there? Second, is it possible this is the fungus people talk about? I have never seen that before so I don't even know what it looks like. ??? Michael

Hard Sell Monday Redux
Ok, this article from Salon, "A House Divided," gives about 100 other good reasons to help us out. Here's one:For two years, the assistant who answered Rove's phone was a woman who had previously worked for lobbyist Jack Abramoff, a close friend of Norquist's and a top DeLay fundraiser. One Republican lobbyist, who asked not to be named because DeLay and Rove have the power to ruin his livelihood, said the way Rove's office worked was this: "Susan took a message for Rove, and then called Grover to ask if she should put the caller through to Rove. If Grover didn't approve, your call didn't go through."

Professor Pat Pending is a scientist who drives in a boat-shaped car equipped with a multitude of gadgets and which can change into just about anything that moves in Wacky Races. He's sometimes seen as a rival of Dick Dastardly and Muttley, since his car is equipped with a lot of gadgets, just like the Mean Machine, although they are more defensive, or merely speed-boosting, in nature. He often uses his car's gadgets to help out the other drivers if they all get caught in the same trap, such as when he used his car's de-glue gizmo to unstick everyone from a glue trap left by Dastardly. "Pat Pending" is an abbreviation for "Patent Pending", a legal phrase for when an invention's patent papers are in the works.

Happy New Year Everyone!
I voted for the 229, with the 21SF a close second mainly due to the double-action trigger of the SIG.
I'd choose a sig every time.
"Just blame Sixto"
I reserve the right to make fun, point and laugh etc.
Actually I would chose non of the above. Prefer my CZ75 P-06. That said, with the choices given, the Sig 229. Closest in feel to my CZ.
Glock 30 with my Tac Light. Doesn't get much better.
I voted for Glock 30, but only because you didn't list the 36. I've got big hands, so the 36 just "fits" me better.
You do give up three rounds (7 in the 36 vs. 10 in the 30), but I figure that 7 rounds of .45 ought to be enough.
Glocks are easy to shoot, fast to bring on target, bombproof reliable and less expensive than a Sig - what more could you ask for?
Had to vote for the Kimber, only because I'm a 1911 fan. I'd much prefer to see an original model Kimber, or other 1911 without the firing pin safety.
None of the above! A 3-4" DA revolver in 38+p or 357 and/ or a 12/20 gauge shotgun. I use the KISS principle and nothing is simpler than a revolver, and everyone can easily use it.
"The millions of people, armed in the holy cause of liberty, and in such a country as that which we possess, are invincible by any force which our enemy can send against us." Patrick Henry 1775
Vegetarian: Indian for inept hunter.
Glock 21SF for me! You'll never forget to decock it after being forced to shoot someone in an extremely stressful situation. And although I really like the .40 for concealed carry, I'd pick the .45 every time when concealment is not an issue. (ie: home defense) 14 rounds of Federal HST +P .45 goodness is hard to argue with!
If I was going with a Sig, I'd pick the P226, not the P229. Sigs are fine weapons, I just prefer the simplicity of the Glock. Glock accessories, parts and mags are less expensive, too.
The Glock 30 can do double duty, but is really more for concealed carry, which is a role it excels in!
Can't really comment on the Kimber, other than to say that I wouldn't choose a 1911 for home defense, mainly because of capacity. They are great for CCW, though, because they are so slim and feel good in the hand.
Happy new year!
Slow is smooth.....smooth is fast.
I voted for the Kimber because I have one and know it is a good gun. Had a Glock 30 before and it was to thick for my hands. Granted the G30 is an excellent selection if it fits your hands

I would choose the Kimber Pro carry 2 as I have one and use it for that purpose. its worked for me in the past 4 years .
I chose the G30 since thats what I have, I put a 13rnd mag in it at night so its got the same capacity as the 21
and the HK 45 is in the pistol safe by the bed just in case I need to fill both hands

If loose gun laws are good for criminals why do criminals support gun control?
Big is not an issue at home. My guess is you will be going to the range on a regular basis and you can practice all day with a big gun. Go with the very reliable BIG Glock 21SF.

Exercises that are to be done for the normal delivery | Must and should exercises for pregnant ladies
Exercises help the pregnant women to be healthy and to have normal delivery. The pregnant woman had to start their exercises in the slow timings in the early 4 and 5 months and later on the time has to be increased. It is very important to stop the exercises if there occurs the symptoms like heavy stress and so on. The advice of the doctors is very important to perform these actions.
Before doing the exercises, a carpet or soft sheet is to be place on the floor. The exercises are s follows:
Exercise 1:
Bending down and placing the hands and the legs straight to the floor. The head and the backbone must be in the standard position. The chin is to be touched to the chest and the lower part of the stomach is to be inhaled by the air and is to be exhaled after 5-10 seconds. This has to be repeated 5 times.
Exercise 2:
Stand at a corner facing the floor and the legs are to be placed 2-3 feet distance from the corner. The feet are to be equal in position and keeping the legs straight can place the right palm on the right side of the floor and vice versa. The pulse of the hand should be equal to the shoulders. Then the body has to be bending aside from the elbows and the elbows are to be backside and one has to get a feeling that the chest and the shoulders are stretched. Be in the same position for 15-30 seconds and this has to be repeated twice a day.
Exercise 3:
The body has to be bending down and the hands and the legs are to be kept straight. The backbone had to be straight and slowly it has to be bending. The head has to touch the shoulders. The hands and the legs are not to be moved during this process and by bending the head down, the left thigh have to be bent towards the left shoulder. During this process, the left hip feels as if it is stretching. This position is to be maintained for 15-30 seconds and has to come to the normal position and the same has to be repeated on the other side too. This has to be repeated 2-3 times.
Exercise 4:
Stand straight for this exercise and the right hand is to be placed on the backside of the waist to the downwards. The left hand is to be raised from the head and the palm has to be faced down and during this stage, the hand has to be straight to the shoulder and the wrist and the elbow middle part at the center of the ear and has to bend the palm facing the floor.
The down part of the hips has to be constant and the hips part is to bend to the right side. The upper part of the hand is to be bent in the same way. The left elbow is to be bent slowly and has to bring to the right side from the head. By doing this we can get the feeling of stretch in the bending and at the hips. Maintain this position for 15-30 seconds, come to the normal position, and repeat the same on the other side. This has to be done 2-3 times.
Exercise 5:
The legs are to be folded and had to sit straight. The shoulders are to be bent down and had to be placed backwards and the backbone had to be straight. The head had to be bent to the left side by the left hand. During that process, the second hand is to be bent to the back. In the same way, even the head is to be bent towards the shoulders. Stay a while for 15-30 seconds in the same position and the same exercise had to be repeated 2-3 times.
After delivery, there are some exercises, which make the body to get to its normal stage and position. If it is normal delivery, the exercises can start after 6 weeks and if it is syzerian, it is after 8 weeks. The advice of the doctor is to be taken before starting the exercises before and after the delivery.

Welcome to the Quilting Board!
A couple great finishes this week...keep it up!!
Well as I posted my Pony Club Blocks as part o' my UFO's, here is the one I finished this week.
This is Everybody's Favorite.
For those o' ya'll who don't know me I picked out my PC fabric before my book came in. (Don't ever do that!) There are several blocks that don't go well w/my patriotic theme. At least this one does.
My initials are BB, so dublb is double B.
Cattails, i just love that growth chart.
dublb, keep it up!
"Life is mostly froth and bubble, but one thing stands as stone. Kindness in another's trouble, courage in one's own." Adam Lindsey Gordon
I love "Color me happy". So cheerful. Does what it says on the tin!
Well y'all that binding went much better than I expected. This is only the second time I've done it on the machine and the first time was a disaster so I was quite apprehensive. Still not 100% satisfied with the results but then I'm pretty picky sometimes. Sorry no pictures. For some reason it won't accept them from this new phone.
Linda, I love your Thimbleberries quilt. The colors are awesome. Keep up the good work.
Hooray for mom-6. Ya finished one! "And another one's down, and another one's down, and another one bites the dust!" Sing the song, blow the whistle, & ring the bells!
My initials are BB, so dublb is double B.
I have been working on clearing out some of my UFO's. I found this small quilt that I had started, got the blocks together, it was from a quilt kit that some one gave me. As I got the blocks together, they are 14 inches square, but not enough to make a nice size lap quilt, to me just a bit narrow, they are measuring 28 x 56. I have no problem with the length, but I know if I add to the width, I should add to the length. Here is a picture of what I am working on
I need some input on how to finish it.
Here is what I am thinking about doing, adding a 7 inch boarder between the rows
Thanks in advance for your suggestions.
