Welcome to the Quilting Board!
How big are the blocks? If they're less than 10 inches, you can SITD with Warm & White batting. However, if you're comfortable doing loops and stipples, why not do one of those? Personally I would probably SITD around the block and do some loope on the border.
If you could draw out a posy flower from the border fabric & incorporate that into your loops, that would be kind of fun.
The blocks aren't very big, about 4.5" square. The white part is a jelly roll and the colored strips are honey buns. Good ideas, keep 'em coming!
oh it's pretty!
i like quilting shapes inside the blocks. could you design a flower or something circular/round to contrast with the sharp angles of the blocks? then a linked flower for the border?
whatever you do, it's going to be lovely because it already is!
Love your quilt but will let the experts advise you on the quilting.
so many quilts to make, so little time.
and i might experiment with those cool multicoloured threads or something bright to pop out. there's a lot of white in there and you don't want the quilting to die.
How about half inch cross hatching in the white areas, or straight lines about half inch or quarter inch apart running the length of the white areas, nothing in the colored areas with either of these that I've mentioned. Stippling in just the white areas.
Oh I really like the quilt!
Happy Stitching!
May your stitches always be straight, your seams always lie flat, and your grain never be biased against you.
repeat the flowers like the ones in the border? Are the squares meant to be written in? I've always wnated to quilt one of my quilts with song lyrics Perhaps nursery rhymes?

Hacked Space Invaders Alarm Clock Now Serves Up Mail Notifications
Although this alarm-clock-to-email-notifier could have been packaged in any sort of shell, the Space Invaders angle really sells the whole project.
Grant Gibson saw the alarm clock, seen in the video above, sitting in the clearance bin at a local store. He snatched it up for about $5, despite not needing an alarm clock, and promptly set to work finding a way to repurpose it. He explains:
In the end I decided to turn it into an ambient device, connected to the internet and capable of alerting me when things happen. Right now I've got it firing up with a new message arrives in my Gmail inbox, but really it could do anything – flag up Twitter replies, indicate the chance of rain or even, paired with one of my previous projects, act as an additional ringer for the doorbell. I've added a row of LEDs (three red, three yellow) to give it some more feedback options.
Every time I get a new email the clock moves from side to side and does the classic Space Invaders sound, then lights one of the LEDs to give me an idea of how many unread messages there are. There's loads more that could be done with it, but I was happy just turning it into something more useful without destroying it in the process.

Turkish Airlines TK Be aware of Turkish airlines Istanbul Turkey
Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
Just to make sure that everybody who uses this airline is aware off with whom she/he travels
My company suggested this flight (class: business, delhi to vienna) as it was much cheaper then our usual carrier like emirates or quatar...I agreed on it..big mistake.
The seats in business are crap, you cant even expand it such that a tall person can lie flat. entertainment is rubbish and the boarding procedure is also not in favor for business, as you are on- and offboarded with economy passengers (that means the same waiting times) . Istanbul airport (ok i knew it) was also crap, the only highlight is the lounge.
To complete the picture of how Turkish airlines works, after 4 years of flying, i lost the first time my luggage. And even they bring it to your house, they only offer you a delivery window of 3h, means you have to wait for them).
Conclusion: If you are a business traveler who is time constrained and sees flying only as a means to do the job. Hands off! The lower price does not justify the extra stress. I will advise my company not to book me on any TK flights anymore. For all others (holiday travelers with tight buget). yes, you can, but be aware, that in case of any issues, your trip will become an adventure, which you are maybe not willing to take...

primered fenders
How good is the black primer on new fenders, should I sand and primer or not?
It definately needs to be sanded if you are shooting for a thourough and quality job. To many replacement panels have runs and paint flaws that you don't want showing up after you have painted it. And almost every one I've worked on needed some straightening by block and hammer or skim putty. Just a warning, these reprodution facilities tend to make parts in batches and I have found several that had light surface rust under thier primer from when the steel sat either prior to forming or prior to priming. I found this by prep sanding it with some 200 grit, next thing you know the black primer is popping off in places with rust underneath.
Sand it and keep your eye open for bubbles and runs.
I would agree, always re-sand and primer new parts. not only will you see if there is any surface rust but with a new coat of primer you will see any surface damage.
We just repalaced a rear quarter panel on a 2010 ford and the new panel had runs in the e coat and pock marks best to always sand and primer.This was a $1200 panel .Yekes!
these aftermarket panels will almost always require some bodywork. They are so thin that they get damaged during shipping. You'll be getting a panel with a little ding here and there. You can run 80 grit sandpaper on D/A sander and then use primer surfacer. No need to strip it all the way down.

text: It is hard to believe, but we are nearly one month into first grade for R. This year, so far, has gone incredibly smooth, a lot more smoothly than I had imagined. Sure, some days R comes home exhausted, and therefore, grumpy, but most days, a little down time and a snack are all he needs to cure his "phew, I had a long day at school-itis." As an aside, it is amazing to me how much he eats and drinks at lunch can affect his after-school mood. On the rare occasions when he is really grumpy, I've looked to find a barely touched lunch or a water bottle that is still full. I have to remember that he is only 6, and sometimes he gets distracted or forgets to eat a full lunch, but I keep trying to gently remind him how important eating a good lunch is without hounding the poor boy. Amazingly, after a good snack and drink, his mood transforms back into my usual happy little guy. While R adjusts to eating lunch at school, I am trying to adjust to making and preparing lunch every night. With our early morning deadline to make it to the bus, it is essential that I make R's lunch or at least the majority of it the night prior. If he takes something that is going to be warm in his thermos, I pack all of his other items, and merely heat up the item before packing it up too. This whole "make it the night before" has saved me so much stress, I do not even want to imagine. But even my best planning sometimes goes a wee bit awry, like last week when I was packing R's lunch into his backpack and felt a little fuzzy headed. I zipped up his lunch bag thinking, "there doesn't seem to be as much as usual in there." Minutes after he left for the bus I found his diced kiwi (his current favorite fruit) in the fridge and threw shoes on G and I, as I ran after SPH and R to deliver the missing fruit. All of this is to share that while it has only been a month of packing lunches, I can't believe it has already been a *month* of packing lunches for this mom. I've learned a thing or two, and one tip another mom recently shared with me, I wanted to share with you. Today's "Tuesday's Tip" is this: When you pack your school-age children's lunch, go ahead and prepare your younger child(ren)'s lunch as well. This will give you a great deal of flexibility the next day. If you decide to go to a park during lunch, you already have a lunch packed! If you want to go on an outing, lunch is ready. And even if you stay home, what busy mom wouldn't love a lunch at the ready to give their child? If nothing else, it can help your younger ones help feel connected to their older siblings, a very good thing indeed. SPC

Citation: Weimer, P.J., Russell, J.B., Muck, R.E. 2009. Lessons From the Cow: What the Ruminant Animal Can Teach Us About Consolidated Bioprocessing of Cellulosic Biomass. Bioresource Technology. 100:5323-5331. Interpretive Summary: Converting abundant plant biomass to fuel ethanol is regarded as a key to transitioning our economy from fossil fuels to renewable energy sources. Conversion of plant biomass to fuels by fermentation faces a host of technical and engineering challenges. However, cattle and other ruminant animals have developed very effective methods of converting these same plant materials to useful products like milk and meat. In this review, we have identified several key steps in how the cow works that can potentially be used to improve industrial biomass fermentations. These include how the cow chews her cud, the variety of microorganisms at work in her stomach, and the products that these microorganisms produce. The results of this review will help scientists and engineers improve the efficiency, economics, and energy balance of industrial biofuels systems.
Technical Abstract: Consolidated bioprocessing (CBP), in which anaerobic bacteria produce their own cellulolytic enzymes and ferment the products of cellulose hydrolysis to ethanol in a single reactor, is regarded as a promising future route to cellulosic ethanol. Some of the current limitations to practical use of this platform (some of which are also common to simultaneous saccharification processes using enzyme/yeast mixtures) have been successfully addressed in another natural cellulose-degrading system, namely the ruminal fermentation. We examine here some of the key process breakthroughs developed by cattle and other ruminant animals that can guide future research in improving engineered CBP systems. These include, among others, an elegant and effective physical pretreatment; operation at high solids loading under non-aseptic conditions; minimal nutrient requirements beyond the plant biomass itself; efficient fermentation of nearly all plant components; efficient recovery of primary fermentation end products; and production of useful co-products. Although the ruminal fermentation does not produce ethanol, operation of the ruminal fermentation as a dedicated industrial process is feasible if the abundant, energetic fermentation products (primarily volatile fatty acids and methane) can be economically recovered and converted to other organic compounds, particularly transportation fuels.

The Interstate 15 bridge over Lake Hodges will be named after Chelsea King and a short portion of state Route 78 near the San Diego Zoo Safari Park will honor Amber Dubois, under legislation the Assembly and state Senate have passed.
"We think it's a wonderful reminder to stay vigilant and don't take anything for granted," Chelsea's father, Brent King, said Friday, the day the Senate approved the law.
The signs will call the span over Lake Hodges the "Chelsea King Memorial Bridge," and will designate a three-quarter-of-a-mile segment of Highway 78 the "Amber Dubois Memorial Highway."
The legislation states that the cost of creating the signs and of erecting them will be paid through private donations. It's not known yet when the signs will go up.
The murders of the two North County teens, Amber in 2009 and Chelsea a year later, rocked San Diego County like few crimes have. Amber disappeared while walking to Escondido High School on Feb. 13, 2009. Chelsea was abducted while running at Rancho Bernardo Community Park on Feb. 25, 2010.
Convicted sex offender John Gardner, then 30, was linked to Chelsea's death through DNA. Her body was found five days after she disappeared, following a search by thousands, buried along the shore of Lake Hodges. Gardner then led authorities to Amber's body, which he had buried in a remote area of the North County a year earlier. He is serving two life sentences without the possibility of parole.
The idea of naming the bridge and highway after the girls surfaced shortly after Gardner's guilty pleas, but legislation was never introduced as Assemblyman Nathan Fletcher instead concentrated on getting various aspects of Chelsea's Law, a sweeping 2010 law aimed at sexual predators, passed.
The signage appeared to be off the table, but once the final piece of Chelsea's Law was put in place earlier this summer, King said, the effort resumed.
"The Chelsea King and Amber Dubois Memorial Highway will serve in remembrance of their lives, and will remind us of the need to be eternally vigilant in the work to protect the innocent," Fletcher said.
Carrie McGonigle, Amber's mother, said she and Amber's little sister, Allison Cave, are pleased.
"It keeps the girls names out there forever," McGonigle said. "Whenever somebody drives by and sees the dedication, if they don't know who the girls are they'll probably Google them. It keeps their legacy going on."
The Amber highway segment near the Safari Park was chosen because of the 14-year-old girl's love of animals. Lake Hodges was chosen because it was where Chelsea, 17, was last alive and not far from her Poway home.
The resolution read into the record Friday, says in part:
"WHEREAS, Chelsea King will always be remembered by her community for her compassionate heart and positive spirit, whether for helping plan a prom for developmentally disabled youth, packing relief boxes for those in need in Africa, or serving as a peer counselor at her school; and WHEREAS, Chelsea King was an avid cross country runner, a gifted student, and a loving daughter and sister, whose life was untimely and tragically ended; and WHEREAS, Amber Dubois will always be remembered by her community for her kind and compassionate heart and strong love of animals, especially wolves, whether for her desire to raise a lamb or her active involvement in Future Farmers of America; and WHEREAS Amber Dubois was a stellar student with straight A's and perfect attendance, a voracious reader, and a loving daughter and sister, whose life was untimely and tragically ended. …"

FalconStor posted results for Q3 2012 last Wednesday. The company, a provider of data protection solutions for the enterprise, saw weakened demand for its products in the quarter ended September 30, but managed to cut its losses.
FalconStor made$17.1 million in the past three months compared with the $18.9 million it reported for the third quarter of 2011, a 9 percent decline that CEO Jim McNiel blames on a "a difficult macro environment" in the global marketplace.
"The uncertainty surrounding the global marketplace continues to cause disruptions in our business, specifically with budget freezes, elongated sales cycles, or, in some cases, lost deals due to competitive pricing and sales strategies." McNiel said during the earnings call. "Finally, we believe that the steps we took during the third quarter to reduce our operating expenses in response to the current environment have left us well-positioned to execute on our plan to invest in our existing and our new product initiatives."
FalconStor posted a GAAP net loss of $3.6 million or 8 cents a share, much lower than the $5.4 million it reported 12 months ago. Non-GAAP loss stood at $3.1 million in the last quarter.
Enterprises are getting smarter about their IT budgets, and vendors such as FalconStor are investing a lot of resources to make sure they get their share of this growing market opportunity. HP and IBM have been doing something similar in the storage space.
The two vendors both unveiled new SMB storage products this week, with an emphasis on budget-friendliness. Hewlett-Packard introduced two new StoreVirtual machines, as well an entirely new line up called StoreEasy that's tailored for large amounts of data rather than virtualization. And Big Blue unveiled a scaled-down Storwize box that offers small to medium businesses enterprise functionality for only $10K.

Chihuahua and Pit Bull living under the same household?
I have a small 4lb male 2-year-old Chihuahua, and someone wants to give us a Pit Bull puppy. Well, my Chi is not really friendly with other dogs and will not tolerate other dogs behaviors. Sometimes he growls at other dogs on walks. He runs up on other dogs, but just to sniff them, but when fenced, he barks. I need to know which puppy to choose from the litter. I know not to choose the dominant one, or the shy one. Would another male, or a female be better? I just don't want my Chi to get killed when they get older. Can the mix Pitt live peacefully whith the small Chi? How would I seperate then when I'm gone? A full grown pit could easily jump a baby gate... At what age should I start to seperate them when I'm not around? I plan on giving affection and loving them both equally. We will also be moving to a farm where we will be raising Goats and Chickens, and possibly keep 2 Great Pyrenees as guard dogs. Thanks.

If your Chi is not dog friendly, then I would Not get another dog, even if it's free. That is a mix for trouble.

Totally agree! You have a dog-aggressive dog, and you want to bring in another dog? Recipe for disaster. Work on the chi's aggression before you bring another dog into the mix. It is not fair to either dog..& one or both could be seriously injured.

I agree with the other posters. Do NOT get another dog if your current dog doesn't like other dogs, even if it is free. It is not fair to either dog and like the others said it will be a disaster.

At 2 your Chi still has quite a capacity to learn how to be with other dogs. After all it's natural. Notice next time how happy dogs that get along are. Just take a walk next to your local dog park (watch out for irresponsible owners). All you have to do is teach the puppy to be gentle. Don't allow him to approach your chi at all. Let your Chi come to it. see a good example of what teaching a big dog to be gentle can accomplish here. www.youtube.com Pits need rules so make sure you and your family take leadership positions and establish rules from the start. (i.e. train them early so jumping over a baby gate isn't an issue) Separate them while your gone from the start until your pup earns the house by examples of good behavior just like a child. Male or female doesn't matter, but I would go with female only because when she gets older she will want to nurture and you will see lots of cuddles. I'm a little confused with the Pyrenees. Why?

you won't receive adequate responses online about reading the nuances of puppy personality, since anyway it appears the person who is 'giving' away pittie puppies probably isn't the most responsible breeder able to accurately predict.
If you aren't prepared to manage the worst circumstances of and constantly supervise having a very tiny & a medium sized rambunctious puppy, which can result in injury or death, then don't get another puppy. it doesn't matter how many rules you give the pittie or how nurturing females are supposed to be.

NOW Foods' L-Glutamine features double strength, gluten free capsules. Glutamine has recently been the focus of much scientific interest. A growing body of evidence suggests that during certain stressful times, the body may require more glutamine than it can produce. Under these circumstances Glutamine may be considered a "conditionally essential" amino acid. Glutamine is involved in maintaining a positive nitrogen balance (an anabolic state) and also aids rapidly growing cells (immune system lymphocytes and intestinal cell enterocytes). In addition, Glutamine is a regulator of acid-base balance and a nitrogen transporter.

PORTSMOUTH — Three Portsmouth Abbey School students have recently committed to play lacrosse on top level Division 1 college lacrosse teams
Mitchell Kelln, from Malibu, Calif., has committed to the University of Michigan. Mitch was a key offensive player on the Ravens' 2012 EIL Championship team that finished 6-0 in league play (9-6 overall).
Austin Kreinz from Delafield, Wisc., will attend the University of Pennsylvania. A consistent Dean's List student and co-captain of this year's lacrosse team, Austin was an All-League standout on the 2012 squad with 19 goals and 26 assists as a mid-fielder for the Ravens. He was named an Under Armour Elite All-Star and represented the Midwest region at the 2012 Underclassmen All-American Tournament.
Reaves Klipstein, of Califon, N.J., will attend the U.S. Military Academy at West Point. He is a close defenseman who, before coming to Portsmouth Abbey this year, excelled at Rutgers Prep in New Jersey as a two-time All-Prep, two-time All-Area and two-time Player of the Year in his division. A two-year captain, Reaves led his team to back-to-back State Prep B Championship titles.
Al Brown, Abbey director of athletics and head boys' lacrosse coach, said, "The boys have worked hard in the classroom and on the field. They are true student-athletes and have the opportunity to attend excellent colleges and continue playing lacrosse at a high level. We are very proud of their accomplishments."

An updated clinical practice guideline just released by the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS) Board of Directors recommends how to reduce the likelihood of blood clots after hip or knee replacement surgery, procedures that more than 800,000 Americans undergo each year. The new guideline suggests use of preventive treatments and advises against routinely screening patients after surgery using ultrasound imaging.
"Hip and knee arthroplasty [joint replacement surgery] is among the most successful of procedures in terms of restoring function and minimizing pain. However, one possible complication that orthopaedic surgeons are concerned about is venous thromboembolic disease," said Joshua Jacobs, MD, Academy second vice president, an orthopaedic surgeon at Rush University Medical Center in Chicago, who was chairman of the workgroup that developed the guideline.
Thromboembolic disease encompasses two conditions: deep vein thrombosis (DVT), or formation of a blood clot in a deep vein such as in the thigh or calf, and pulmonary embolism (PE). In the relatively uncommon event of a PE, pieces of a clot break free and travel through the vein to the lung, where they can lodge in an artery. PE typically causes no symptoms, however possible symptoms include shortness of breath, chest pain, light headedness or chest congestion. In very rare cases, PE can be fatal. Likewise, in many patients, DVT causes no symptoms. However, in some patients, DVT can lead to symptoms such as leg swelling and pain that can necessitate further treatment or rehospitalization. The goal of the orthopaedic surgeon is to prevent, as much as possible, the occurrence of PE and DVT following total hip and knee replacement.
According to the guideline, in the absence of prophylaxis, DVT occurs in about 37 percent of patients, as detected by imaging. The majority of those patients will remain asymptomatic and will require no further treatment. Recent studies in Denmark show that only 0.7 percent of hip replacement patients and 0.9 percent of knee replacement patients require hospitalization because of DVT in the first three months after surgery.
"After looking at all available scientific research evidence, in a rigorous fashion to minimize bias, we made recommendations that can help guide practitioners in the safest and most effective ways to prevent this potentially serious complication," said Jacobs.
Among the preventive measures the experts analyzed for safety and effectiveness are mechanical compression devices, designed to improve blood flow in the legs after surgery, as well as drug therapy. Drug therapy involves anticoagulants, commonly called blood thinners, as well as aspirin, which interferes with blood clotting by acting on platelets.
The work group also outlined suggestions for future research to fill in the evidence gaps that were apparent through an exhaustive and systematic review of the medical literature. Further research is deemed critical to develop the optimum strategies to prevent venous thromboembolic disease in the safest and most effective manner.
From the evidence reviewed, the workgroup made the following recommendations for physicians treating patients before hip or knee replacement:
The workgroup also made these recommendations for care after hip or knee replacement:
The full guideline is entitled, "Preventing Venous Thromboembolic Disease in Patients Undergoing Elective Hip and Knee Arthroplasty."

Motorists are advised to watch out for, and drive to, speed restriction signs.
No roadworks will be open on the main highways in and out of Hawke's Bay during the Labour Weekend holiday period, although motorists are advised to watch out for, and drive to, speed restriction signs where work has been taking place.
Major projects have been put on hold until Tuesday. Then, on SH2 between Napier and Gisborne, pavement maintenance crews will resume work between Wairoa and north of Nuhaka, causing minor delays.
On SH2 between Napier and Dannevirke, various underground cabling crews can be expected between Pakipaki and Waipawa.
Passing-lane construction is in progress just south of Pakipaki, but confined to the shoulder.
Cable laying is also being done on the SH2B expressway between Westshore and Prebensen Drive, while on SH5 work will resume next Tuesday on pavement reconstruction and general maintenance between Te Pohue and Tarawera. Drivers can expect minor delays.

The stock certificate was discovered buried away in the Westfries Archive and goes on exhibit at the Westfries Museum. The stock certificate is dated September 9, 1606.

Although the science of regenerating ear cartilage is possible in theory at this point in time it is not used clinically
If Ear Cartilage Doesn't Grow Back on Its Own and the Perichondrium is Avail. Can You Use Stemcells to Regenerate the Cartilage?
Doctor Answers 2
Cartilage grafts in Rhinoplasty
That's a fantastic question. Studies have looked at cartilage regeneration after rib cartilage harvest, and have found that when the perichondrium remains intact there is in fact regrowth of cartilage - albeit different in shape and consistency. As you probably also know, entire ears have been grown from stem cells on the backs of mice. So the answer is, yes, the cartilage could be regenerated but at this point prohibitively expensive to have clinical practicality.

Welcome to the Quilting Board!
My fishy quilt in the camper(a little fuzzy), did not use it much on this trip it was 105 in MS, 1830 quilt made by a slave unfortunatley I could not afford it. Goodies bought in the antique shops around town a celluloid tatting shuttle, pin cushion some old patterns for Pat's civil war dresses, a basket of vintage thread(to make spool pin covers), a wood burned music holder made in 1890, a small flag quilt hanging made after the civil war and the Franklin with original Franklin labled motor( Of course will end up as a treadle). This is the machine I will do the tut on. I don't think I spent over 25 dollars for all. We had such fun and Pat found several items also.

There is a card table for longbed 301's. I happen to have the card table for shortbed 301's, 401 and 500 machines.
I would like to know where you want me to put the tutoiral on the cleaning of this Franklin. Do you want it here in the VSMS or its own thread or even under the fishy quilt. Let me know in a day or so. Thank you
Glenn W. Cleveland
Nancy, Congrats on the mocha longbed 301. That was a great score at a flea market. I now have purchased my 2nd 301, also a long bed mocha, from a gal on the board who is moving and downsizing. It has some tension issues (don't we all )but she let me have it for the price she bought it plus shippping to my door. I am thrilled and younger DD is also thrilled. She wants to make her own quilt with some help from me plus my fabric thread & batting but she wants to quilt and likes my 301 better than her Singer 362. Gotta agree with her about the 301 being better than the 362.
I meant to behave......but there were too many other options
Melinda, You might find your Kenmore manual from one of the Yahoo Kenmore group sites.
I stand corrected on the flag quilt hanging. I counted 50 stars Oh well but it only cost $2.00 so I don't feel to cheated LOL. Well I guess you can still say it was made after the civil war.
Glenn W. Cleveland
Skip, Neat pics!!
I think you should put the tutorial in it's own thread, and we'll link it in the sticky for cleaning machines so that it can be found....and if you don't mind, I'll put it on my blog too!
One day, you'll only be a memory for some people. Do your best to be a good one.

There are 2 301s for $50 each on ebay ending within 24 hours. One has a buttonholer and attachments.

Leave it to those hipster foodies to turn eating out of a truck -- you know, the thing construction and factory workers used to do because there was nowhere else to eat for miles -- into a hot trend. "Gastrotrucks" first started popping up in Los Angeles, San Francisco, New York and Austin a few years ago, and the trend has extended into virtually every major city in the country. Within the past two months, they've popped up all over Fort Worth. There's even a reality show on the Food Network celebrating them. While the idea of eating out of a truck previously gave me pause, the following three spots prove that mobile kitchens can be winning alternatives.
Taco Heads
700 Carroll St., Fort Worth; www.tacoheads.com
Owner Sarah Castillo has been serving up winning tacos at this Austin-lite spot between Poag Mahone's and 7th Haven for two months. A small but welcoming deck brings truck-side dining to new levels; it's a great place to partake, pre- or post-party. And Castillo's tacos ($2.50 each: brisket, chicken, carnitas and veggie) have already won over the inebriated and the foodie folk alike. Signature add-ons like avocado and jalapeño punch up the straightforward fare. Castillo's take on the taco is standard, but the ingredients are fresh and potent, especially the salsa. My veggie scored a best-of-show with its smoky peppers, mushrooms and zucchini. And my companion enjoyed his brisket; the carnitas and chicken were a little dry, but topped with raw onions and cilantro, they were still tasty. So, too, was the Tecate, sold deck-side by 7th Haven.
Salsa Limón
Across the street from Fuzzy's Taco Shop, Berry Street, Fort Worth; www.salsalimon.com
Whoever decided to put a food truck across the street from Fuzzy's has got some cajones. (That would be Ramiro Ramirez, owner and operator of Salsa Limón, a restaurant also located in La Gran Plaza's food court.) With nary a Berry Street betwixt them, these two venues have been going taco-a-taco for more than a month. So far, business has been good, according to an employee at the truck, whom we talked to one morning when our kids got up too early, there was no coffee in the house, and breakfast tacos beckoned.
For a buck-fifty each, Salsa Limón serves authentic street tacos, brilliantly rendered. The potato, egg and cheese is the standout: big chunks of potato, pillowy eggs and Mexican-style cheese meld together atop two small corn tortillas. Speaking of which, those tortillas tasted as though they were made about a minute before we arrived. The asada taco, with steak, egg and cheese, also impresses. Small bits of diced meat are well-seasoned; it's a good "heavier" option. The showstopper may be the salsas, though. Ask for the habanero and the tomatillo, and use the former sparingly. Later in the day, stop by for a quesadilla or burrito. Both are good options, especially if the line is out the door at Fuzzy's.
Chef Point on Wheels
Across the street from Texas Health Harris Methodist Hospital, Pennsylvania Avenue, Fort Worth; www.chefpointonwheels.com
Yes, this is from the same people who brought you the killer cream-laden cuisine in the Conoco gas station in Watauga. Chef Franson Nwaeze and his wife, Paula, have garnered their fair share of PR thanks to their inspired cooking and that questionable venue. Now they've put the whole thing on wheels and can be found serving up their sinful concoctions across the street from where people go after they've had heart attacks.
This food is worth the cholesterol, and you can indulge by rationalizing that Chef Point on Wheels is only here on Wednesdays, from 11 a.m. till 2 p.m. How much damage can you possibly do to your diet? Apparently a lot. And you can kill the interior of your car, too. (More on that later.) We tried Nwaeze's most popular items, the lobster bisque ($7), Sexy Chicken ($10) and bread pudding ($7). The highlights: The fried chicken, all white meat, was delicious, crispy and delicately spiced. The lowlights: The bread pudding, drowning in a brandy butter sauce, is too one-note. And the lobster bisque? Why don't you ask the floorboards of my car, which conveniently absorbed most of it when I went to open its lid? Or you could ask my thighs. That's where the soup went, too. Literally and figuratively.

The Russian connection: See all our coverage | Read about our investigation
Why should you care about economic history? Brad DeLong offers a few reasons:
First of all, it makes a very good story....Second, you never know what parts of history may turn out to be useful and very important....Third, you should focus on economic history not just because it is the key axis of the twentieth century in particular but because economic history is the real history....And, fourth, we do need to search for and keep searching for the "lessons" of the past for the present.
Brad is talking about 20th century history in particular, but taken more broadly I'd offer a fifth reason to be interested in economic history: it's one of the best ways to understand economics.
This came up in my Reddit AMA a couple of days ago, when someone asked if I could recommend a book that provides a good basic understanding of the modern economy. I didn't really have a satisfying answer, partly because my background in economics is fairly weak, and partly because it's accreted over the years from a very wide variety of books, magazine pieces, blog posts, miscellaneous journal articles, and daily news. There's really not any single book that's played a key role for me.
But I ended up recommending John Kenneth Galbraith's A History of Economics anyway. It's not necessarily the best history of economic thought out there, and in any case it's a poor recommendation because I think it's out of print. But it has several virtues to make up for that: it's brief, engagingly written, wide ranging, and I happen to have read it many years ago and have a dim memory of thinking it was very good.
More generally, if you don't know much about economics, then reading about the history of economics is one of the best ways to get started. If you try to dive straight into a book about modern economics, even one that's well written, you're probably going to have a tough time. But if you come at it chronologically, starting with older, simpler concepts that give way gradually to more modern ideas, the modern ideas will make a lot more sense. You'll have a context to put them in and a reason to believe that they really are improvements. When you reach the final chapter, modern economics will seem less like a baffling collection of arbitrary rules and more like the final step in a series of steady progressions that were genuinely motivated by new problems that couldn't be adequately addressed by what came before. At that point, you'll be able to pick up an introduction to modern economics and probably be able to make sense of it.
Plus, as a bonus, you'll learn some history! It's a no-lose proposition.
With that said, I'll open the floor to other recommendations. Preferably ones that are in print and easily available. What we're looking for is an engaging, concise, and reliable introductory history of economic thought. Any nominees?
UPDATE: Several commenters have pointed out that Brad is talking about economic history and I'm talking about the history of economics. That's....absolutely true. And they aren't the same thing. I wasn't thinking hard enough about that when Brad's post struck me as a good springboard to talk about something related.
So: economic history is important! But if you want to learn about economics itself, your best introduction is probably a good history of economics.

Intercept Pharmaceuticals: Study Success Paves Way to Multi-Billion Market
It's not every day a stock more than triples in value like Intercept Pharmaceuticals (ICPT) has, but then again it's not often a company surprises the market the way Intercept did either.
Intercept Pharmaceuticals reported that it's drug for liver fibrosis met its primary endpoint and was stopped early. Citigroup's Jonathan Eckard and team explain the significance:
Buy ICPT: This morning's announcement that the P2 trial of [Intercept Pharmaceuticals'] lead candidate in liver fibrosis (NASH) met its primary endpoint is a major upside surprise and could make significant upside given it is a multi-billion dollar WW market and there are NO approved drugs. NASH is possibly one of the few remaining large untapped market that we could compare to the LDL or diabetes market and is rapidly growing. We expect very strong trading in [Intercept Pharmaceuticals].
Strong trading is an understatement. Shares of Intercept Pharmaceuticals have gained 270% to 267.74 at 2:05 p.m., and have provided a lift to the biotech sector. The SPDR S&P Biotech ETF (XBI) has gained 6.2% to $143.90, while Conatus Pahrmaceuticals (CNAT)), which is also working in medication for liver disease, has surged 90% to $11.84. Vertex Pharmaceuticals (VRTX) has gained 0.3% to $75.45, and Exelixis (EXEL) is up 1.3% at $7.09.
UPDATE: Janney's Jim Molloy offers own thoughts on Intercepts success:
This is a very rare event, and a significant positive for the prospects for the drug. Importantly only ~50% of the trial participants had completed the trial. The non-completing half of patients were considered non-responders (failures) in the trial, and the trial still hit statistical significance at a p=0.0024 which indicates the half that did finish the trial had an extremely robust response...
NASH is similar to alcoholic cirrhosis of the liver and is currently the third leading indication for liver transplant in the US. There are ~22M Americans with NASH with ~8M in advanced stages. Currently, there are no FDA approved treatments. We anticipate OCA could be a potential blockbuster drug for NASH if ultimately approved.

(NEW YORK) — Sharknado 2 is the latest film to be swept up in the crowdsourcing craze.
The producers of the Syfy channel film have launched an IndieGoGo campaign in an attempt to raise $50,000. With that money, they would shoot an extra scene that will be included in Sharknado 2: The Second One.
The campaign site says the scene "will involve chainsaws."
The more you donate to the cause, the more goodies you'll receive. For $25,000, you'll receive an associate producer credit, plus a VIP trip to the film's premiere.
Sharknado 2: The Second One, starring Ian Ziering, Tara Reid, Mark McGrath, Kelly Osbourne, Judah Friedlander and many more, premieres July 30.

"So, my wife washed my shirt (white) with her red soccer socks. It's now pink. Do you think I could bleach it white again? Is it safe to bleach? I really don't want to hike in a pink shirt."
If you don't want to hike in a pink shirt then why does it matter if it's safe? I have bleached my synthetics. While its probably not the best constantly, a single washing is unlikely to hurt it.Aug 5, 2012 at 11:40 am #1900383
I'm asking because I'd rather have it pink than ruin it. I'll give it one wash and see how it does.Aug 5, 2012 at 12:35 pm #1900395

I thought about the same for my Eco-Mesh but I read on the website and the shirt I believe that I was not supposed to bleach it.Aug 5, 2012 at 12:41 pm #1900397
I saw the same warning about bleaching it. I was hoping there would be someone here who has done it so I could find out if I could get away with it once or twice to fix the color.Aug 5, 2012 at 2:54 pm #1900418

Well I tried one wash soaking it in bleach and didn't see a noticeable difference. I may have to get some of that rit color remover and try it.Aug 5, 2012 at 7:13 pm #1900486

If you're not going to wear a pink shirt, then it won't hurt to give the bleach another go. Use full strength, and let it soak for 15-20 minutes. If it works, then rinse really well and you've got your shirt back. Don't soak overnight (or any ridiculously long amount of time) because full-strength bleach will destroy fabrics ultimately. Guess how I know? :)Aug 5, 2012 at 8:23 pm #1900504
Hiking MaltoBPL Member
Make sure you are using full strength bleach, not the low strength scented crap. It should have a hypo level of 5.25%Aug 5, 2012 at 8:36 pm #1900506

Every attempt I've made to bleach clothing made of white colored nylon material has resulted in yellowing. A general purpose cleaner called WHITE LIGHTENING works pretty well at removing stains from white and other light colors, but it will fade darker colors if allowed to soaked too long before washing.Aug 5, 2012 at 8:57 pm #1900513
Well, the first time I used bleach with a hypo level of 6.15%. I used 1/2 a cup and let it soak in the washer for 15 minutes in the hot water before running the wash cycle and there was no affect…I guess I could try it again, but I'm not sure its going to help.Aug 5, 2012 at 9:04 pm #1900515

Bleach has a pretty short effective shelf life … about 6-12 months. If yours is older, it may have been too weak to do the job.Aug 5, 2012 at 9:06 pm #1900516
It is an older bottle (12 mos?)…I'll pick up a new one and see if that helps at all. If not looks like I'll need to give rit or white lightning a shot.Aug 6, 2012 at 4:15 am #1900550

Next time use Color Catchers which are sheets of special paper that catches the dye in the wash to keep it from your other clothes. You can find it in the laundry section in any grocery store. Another product called Retayne works well too. There are products on the market to remove color from fabric as well. YOu could try using several sheets of Color Catchers in the wash again to see if the color will come out of your shirt. I use these sheets when I wash new fabric for quilting and it works great.Aug 6, 2012 at 6:28 am #1900571

Color remover did the trick. Thanks for all the suggestions.

Language changes every day. Words we use for communication, shift and develop, and those we imagined we knew, become something we don't – sort of similar to that former boyfriend we thought was a nice person until we found out "nice" is apparently a relative term. For better or worse, slang is part of the changing culture.
My husband loved the words "groovy" and "copasectic," my parents referred to n'er-do-wells getting a "bum's rush," and my grandparents said someone fancy might be "putting on the Ritz."
My latest get-rich-quick scheme springs from my lifelong fascination with morbid pet stories. It's genius.
Politics is not about facts. It's about what politicians can get us to believe.
– Thomas Sowell
It figures. As soon as Donald Trump became the "presumptive Republican nominee" for President, the army of dirt-digging negativists grew mightily in size. Questions about his taxes, behavior with women, those four bankruptcies and what he did with all that money he said he raised to help veterans, completely obliterated any of his thoughts on how he planned to "make America great again."
On behalf of the State Bar of Georgia, I would like to congratulate members of the Augusta Judicial Circuit Bar Association on a successful observance of Law Day 2016.
The event, also sponsored by the Georgia Judicial Council's Administrative Office of the Courts, was highlighted by the opportunity for local governmental, community and legislative leaders to receive an inside look at the day-to-day operations of the justice system at the Columbia County Justice Center in Evans.
A public service announcement:
The Coasters sang its tune: Poison Ivy Lord'll make you itch. Poison ivy is elusive, clever and conniving. It camouflages itself in the undergrowth, its three-leaf danger going undetected by the unwary. It counts on nature's attention-getters to distract its victims, to weaken the vigilance of those whom it has affected before. Most folks don't know it got them until about two days too late.
In the end, the political insurgency that supposedly would sweep incumbents out of office in last week's primaries turned out not to be much of an insurgency.
It seems that a majority of the state's voters are OK with the people who are currently representing them in Congress or the General Assembly.
As you get older it becomes harder to have heroes, but it is sort of necessary.
– Ernest Hemingway
It is unfortunate what we've done with holidays.
Government types seem to have succeeded in converting as many as they could into three-day weekends.
The result? They no longer mean anything other than a chance to get away.
Memorial Day is now remembered as the traditional beginning of summer vacation season.
This is one of those times when I feel like I'm watching the movie Groundhog Day. The same things keep happening over and over, with the same ending.
Once again, conservative Georgians are urging their friends and colleagues to defy the directives of an evil federal government determined to ram its liberal way of life down everyone's throat.

Angelina's comment irks Thai government
Upon hearing their story, Jolie issued an emotive plea to the Thai government urging the authorities to respect the rights of the Rohingya, a Muslim ethnic group from Myanmar. In her plea the Tomb Raider star asked the Thai government to be 'just as generous to the Rohingya refugees who are now arriving on their shores' as they were to the Ban Mai Nai Soi camp's, 18,000 other refugees from Myanmar.
The Thai army has been accused of detaining and torturing hundreds of Rohingya who, in recent months, fled to Thailand to escape poverty in Myanmar. But now Jolie has been reprimanded by Thai officials for her comments, and they have stated that the United Nations refugee agency should not have allowed her to visit the centre.
"Angelina was not focused on the Rohingya, but was visiting Myanmar refugee camps," the Daily Express quoted Virasakdi Futrakul, permanent secretary of the Thai foreign ministry, as saying.
"It was a coincidence that the Rohingya was a hot news issue at the time, therefore we must warn (U.N. refugee agency) UNHCR that they should not comment on this issue because they have no mandate on this issue. The Thai government will issue a reprimand letter to UNHCR asking why it allowed Angelina Jolie to visit the refugee camps," he added.
A representative for UNHCR claims that the Thai Ministry of Interior issued camp passes for both Jolie and Pitt.

H.S. Update: Lady Dolphins Finally Make Playoffs
The girls' soccer team at Beach Channel has not tasted playoff success in a long time. Actually it's been 14 years since they qualified for the postseason.
Pundits believed it would stretch to 15 but this season, Coach Laurie Harris and her team would not let it happen. The Dolphins' 5-1 win over Campus Magnet last Friday clinched a playoff berth and they will appear in the PSAL B playoffs that start this week.
The win released a wide range of joy for a team that has believed wholeheartedly that a playoff berth was in reach. As the team celebrated, the win left Harris speechless.
Her face had a smile that stretched from ear to ear. Even if she didn't speak, the win was already a momentous occasion for Harris.
After coaching seven seasons for the Dolphins (7-4-0, Queens BIII, third place), she departed the team in the 2004 season. In her return to coaching, Harris had one goal in mind for this season and that was making the playoffs. After finally being able to recover her voice, she said that the mission was accomplished.
"This is so exciting. This is so cool. This is the first time in 14 years we made the playoffs," said Harris, who was lifted and carried by her team after the game. "They're all working together. They have fun. They come to practice and they root for each other."
At one point in the season, Beach Channel was at 3-4 and at a crossroads. With a 1-0 win over Richmond Hill before the spring break, it started their current four game winning streak.
The pressure hasn't affected goalkeeper Lauren Carter, who has turned away a ton of shots at the net this season. Her 13 saves turned away good scoring chances by Campus Magnet.
For a veteran team with 8 seniors, Carter says it was an only a matter of time that their talent would translate into wins.
"She (Coach Harris) lets us play. She puts in her plans but we're allowed to play our game," Carter said.
"It feels awesome. We just came together and we always had the talent but we just were never able to come together as a team."
The Lady Dolphins were eliminated 3-2 by Boys and Girls in the semifinals of the PSAL 'B' Championships at Beach Channel.
In the second round of the 'B' playoffs, Beach Channel's men's team lost a 3-2 home decision to Thomas Edison. Randall Ramchatsingh won in singles competition but his brother Timothy and Gabriel Martinez lost singles matches.
Far Rockaway will capture the Queens BIII championship as of press time with a 4-0 win over Richmond Hill last Tuesday. Troy-Ann Bailey and Shickon Asfall scored two goals each for the Seahorses, who improved their record to 9-1-1 with one game remaining.
Beach Channel cruised to 16-2 win over Hillcrest to remain in first place in Queens B with a 13-0 record. Far Rockaway has stumbled with two league losses to Springfield Gardens and Campus Magnet last week. Their record is 8-5 and in third place.
The Dolphins kept rolling with two league wins to remain second place behind Van Buren in Queens South B. The division will be decided this Tuesday when Beach Channel hosts their first place rivals at 4 p.m. It will be the final game of the regular season. Far Rockaway was blown out by Van Buren, 14-3 and now have a 7-5 record.
In a correction to my column last week on the reorganization of Far Rockaway High School: the varsity football team also won the city championship in 1969 and 1970.

KEY LARGO -- The Key Largo Volunteer Fire-Rescue Department will not dissolve, despite losing its service contract, but instead will move into a new building and step up its fundraising efforts, embattled Chief Sergio Garcia said last week.
Garcia said the department plans to provide marine fire suppression, a K-9 search and rescue team and fire police services.
"Canceling the contract doesn't hurt us," Garcia told the Free Press. "It hurts the people of Key Largo."
The fire department lost its contract in March in the wake of an ongoing dispute with the Key Largo Fire-EMS District over department management and oversight. The district taxes Key Largo property owners and contracts with the fire department and Key Largo Ambulance Corps for services.
The Ambulance Corps has agreed to take on firefighting duties at the district's request and has set up a new nonprofit Key Largo Volunteer Fire Department with Ronnie Fell, Scott Robinson and Ambulance Chief Don Bock as corporate officers.
The new department was expected to confirm its board of directors at a meeting Tuesday night. Results from that meeting were not available by press time.
In an effort to save its contract, the fire department board offered the district some concessions, including taking the selection of fire chief away from the membership and allowing the district to veto the board's selection of chief with a 4-1 vote. The concessions also included allowing the district to name two outside members to the fire department's board.
But in a contentious meeting last week, the battle lines held and the moves weren't accepted. At the meeting, district Chairwoman Jennifer Miller accused fellow board member Bob Thomas of pushing to cancel the contract as a move for political gain.
Miller told the department any further efforts to save itself would likely be a waste of time as the 3-2 vote will not change. She and board member Tony Allen opposed the contract cancellation.
Still to be resolved are ownership issues.
The district, for instance, owns the mile marker 99 fire station, but the outgoing department owns the land and the building next to the station.
While Garcia says a lease agreement is likely to be worked out for the fire station, the district's counsel, Dirk Smits, says he has prepared eminent domain documents in case the district is forced to take the land.
As for the building next door, the outgoing chief said he plans to move his department's operations there.
Bock was not thrilled to learn of Garcia's decision to move next door.
"I think it would be difficult," said Bock, who said he has hired all of Garcia's firefighters who have applied with the new department.
District board member George Mirabella said Garcia's services are no longer needed.
"We don't need two departments doing the same thing," he said.
In addition to Garcia's decision to keep his department operating in a scaled-down fashion, another matter has raised eyebrows.
The outgoing department for months has been drafting its annual fundraising letter to mail to Key Largo homeowners. The letter describes the department as providing firefighting services to Key Largo.
Garcia said Friday that he plans to move forward with sending the letter to every home in Key Largo to help fund his new services.
An official from the company that prints and mails the letter told the Free Press that it is awaiting money from the department for postage.
District board member Marilyn Beyer said the mailing would hurt the new department, which needs to start its own fundraising effort.
"It's misleading the public," Beyer added.
Thomas was more emphatic in his reaction to the planned mailing.
"Fraud," he said.
Relationships between the district board and Garcia began to fall apart after a 2009 district audit called for accounting and management changes in the department. Until recently, the department had written off that audit as biased and inaccurate. The department more recently was a year overdue on submitting its 2011 annual report to the district and several months behind in its financial reports.
Tensions worsened earlier this year when Garcia sent an email to the governor criticizing the qualifications of district board members and alleging conflicts of interest.
Garcia's latest criticism is that the district should not turn over the firefighting contract to the Ambulance Corps without putting it out to bid.
The outgoing department is expected to meet Wednesday, May 15.
