Dream Music: Part II is a musical voyage into the depths of the subconscious. This lyrical narrative reflects on the perception of time within dreams and waking life. Filmed on location in 2 states over the course of 6 months, we explored our new production technique of what we call 'lyric-lapsing', to achieve the surrealistic feeling of movement. We built upon the foundation of Part 1 with ambitious ideas that usually took around 6-8 hours of work for 3-4 seconds of footage. Our goal was to pioneer a new film genre by telling a story through art and music. Part 2 was made to transport the viewer from their own reality into a world of dreams and at the end, they awake to wonder how we were able to take them there. Each scene was born from the symbolic meaning of the lyrics and overall message of the film; Time is the illusion within the dream of life.

Just not in the way we think of a breakup album. That cold knot in your stomach when you lose someone? That is not longing for a person. That is dread, uncertainty of what comes next. Madeline Follin and Brian Oblivion of Cults are both 24 years old. Today most people of that age, if not all of us, carry this cold knot inside. "There's a feeling our generation has. The feeling there's always something better around the corner, that everyone is born to be a star," Brian says. "The feeling that life is waiting for you, and yet it's not happening.

Best Of :: Arts & Entertainment
Remember back when Mile High Stadium became officially known as Invesco Field at Mile High? All but on-air commentators stubbornly refused to refer to the facility as anything other than Mile High. That same sort of logic prevails here with the act originally dubbed Red Cloud (which counts Westword's own Jason Heller among its members). After discovering that a Christian MC had already co-opted the name, the band -- whose emotionally charged sets have made it one of the most compelling live groups in the scene -- simply slapped "West" at the end of its tag and called it good. Balderdash, we say: Whoever coined the phrase "Go west, young man" obviously didn't know what he was talking about. As our man Clarence the barber noted in Coming to America, "Mama call him Clay, I call him Clay -- Cassius Clay." Stick to your guns, boys.
When concert season opens at Red Rocks, the crowds run rampant throughout the tiny burb of Morrison. It's enough to make anyone long for a stiff drink and a classic Americana meal, which is exactly what the Blue Cow provides. Whether you prefer a Bloody Mary, a margarita or a mimosa, the staff can hook it up; they serve everything from Budweiser and Corona to microbrews and Mike's Cranberry Lemonade -- even a martini in a pinch. They also brew the strongest espresso in town, and the soft-serve ice cream and shakes are ideal on a hot summer day. It's the perfect place to nurse away a hangover before the big show -- or to kick-start the next drinking marathon.
The title of Lawrence Argent's sculpture isn't very catchy, and most people will draw a blank when hearing "I See What You Mean," but if we say "The Big Blue Bear" at the Colorado Convention Center, you see what we mean. The piece was an instant hit with the public, and it has become a nationally known icon for Denver. Even the normally artless business boosters hijacked it, sending out a guy in a cheesy blue bear suit to promote the hotel tax during last year's election. For all the love, however, it's the fact that the sculpture is sophisticated, contemporary and by a hometown artist that makes it one of the best things downtown.
In 2003, Carol Dickinson was facing retirement from directing the Foothills Art Center in Golden, and she decided she wanted to leave a lasting monument. A take-charge sort of gal, Dickinson went to the Foothills board and suggested having Texas artist Jesus Moroles create a sculpture garden in his signature minimalist style. (Truth be told, it was more than a suggestion; she presented the idea as a fait accompli.) The board agreed, and Moroles teamed up with architect Ted Shultz and landscape designer Susan Saarinen while Dickinson began cajoling donors for funds. Typically, projects such as this take five years to finish, but Dickinson got it done in just two and half, bringing Golden into the 21st century in the process.
Aurora's partly seedy, partly rebirthed main drag gets extra marks for effort in 2005. Last fall, Longmont artist Mario Miguel Echevarria put up his "Aurora Eterna: A Public Spectacle" mural atop Pasternack's Pawn Shop, shedding brilliant neon lights on a series of stylized symbols of Aurora history. "Aurora Eterna" is the perfect companion to the stretch's other murals (by Jason Needham and Susan Cooper), and it adds a touch of class to the tawdry.

The Russian connection: See all our coverage | Read about our investigation
That journey is neither coherent nor complete, and ordinarily wouldn't single out Lackawanna for special notice from all the towns in all the once-prosperous industrial regions of America. But the "ordinary" has been undergoing some redefinition lately. Last September six young men here were arrested, charged with providing "material support and resources" to terrorists, and labeled a "sleeper cell." Who they are, and what combination of desire, curiosity, or bad luck led them on their particular journey to Pakistan for a religious pilgrimage and thence allegedly to an Al Qaeda training camp in Afghanistan, is known only in shards. Small-town suspicion has turned to silence these days. On a recent night outside the mosque, a group of "Arabian" boys in oversize warm-up pants and hoodies asked a stranger why she had stopped, what she was looking at, why she wasn't getting on her way, and then adjourned wordlessly to the parking lot for a little touch football, as the prayerful chant floated over satellite dishes on the weathered frame houses, through the narrow paths of the low brick housing project, across the lawns and broad driveways of new suburban-style homes and the empty lots of the used-to-be.
"We are living in an age of fire, and we must be very careful," Ahmed Jamil said later, explaining why his 18-year-old daughter and her schoolmates had not kept their appointment to talk about growing up in the second-largest Yemeni American community in the country. On "the day of doom," Friday the 13th of last September, Jamil had been working at the house of his son's brother-in-law, 26-year-old Yahya Goba, when he heard a knock at the front and, from the side door behind him, footsteps. Jamil recalls backing into a corner as FBI agents and police, guns drawn, searched the place. A few blocks away, at the Yemen Soccer Field, one of the Lackawanna High School teams was finishing practice when seven FBI cars came by and a police officer called over the coach and soccer club director, Abdulsalam Noman, for a word. Noman has coached five of the six suspects, and at the time of this inquiry, four of them—Shafal Mosed (goalie, 24), Mukhtar al-Bakri (offense, 22), Faysal Galab (defense, 26), and Noman's nephew Yasein Taher (offense and defense, 24)—were still in the adult weekend league. The fifth, Sahim Alwan (midfield, 29), hadn't played since high school. Noman says that within 20 minutes the First Ward "was like a war zone."
"A law-enforcement circus, a media circus" is how one county police officer described what ensued, and the Yemenis, an intensely private community of about 3,500 out of a population of 19,000, became even more so. Today, down Lackawanna's main artery, Ridge Road, and across the railroad tracks that separate the mainly brown and black First Ward from the whiter and incrementally better-off Second, Third, and Fourth wards, other townsfolk say they hardly see the Arabians anymore. ("We always called them Arabians," Ruth Cullen, a senior aide at the Lackawanna Public Library, remarked. "Of course, they've been called other names, very vulgar names.") Arabian regulars at Cup of Joe's diner stopped coming, according to the proprietor, Joe Paolini. "That's the saddest thing," he said, "that people feel scared." Down the street, a storefront dealing in security gear called The swat Institute sold every shotgun off the wall after the arrests, according to firearms instructor Joseph Haley, and requests for pistol permits and shooting lessons spiked.
Outside the mosque after prayers one late November afternoon, a man who gave his name only as Abdul told me he initially talked with reporters only to see his words misquoted or miscontextualized, so he would have nothing more to say, nor would the imam, whose imperfect English might be misconstrued. The community, the families, had been advised to do the same. "Talk to our leaders," he said. On December 17, one he recommended, Mohammad Albanna—vice president of the American Muslim Council, member of the Yemenite American Merchants Association, owner of a major cigarette and candy distributorship in Buffalo, frequent presence at school board and City Council meetings, a man who did not keep quiet after the arrests but who calmly spoke of democratic rights and, if asked, of his concerns about U.S. foreign policy—was himself arrested. At 8 a.m., as children headed for school, police descended upon the First Ward again, closing streets, searching homes, and handcuffing Albanna and two relatives for doing what immigrants from poor countries do every day: sending money home. Not to terrorists, prosecutors admit, but not in small amounts or with the proper license either, and now the Yemenis of Lackawanna have had one more lesson in the wisdom of silence and invisibility.
We have become strangely accustomed to this silence. Since September 11, at least 1,200 immigrants have been held in detention without charge; at least 15 U.S. citizens are currently incarcerated on terrorism-related claims. No defense lawyer has seized the spotlight. No intimate has insistently cried out, This is my son, my brother, my husband, my friend; these are his loves, his foibles, the neat and messy stuff of his complicated human life. It is all perfectly understandable, and perfectly opportune for police agents and prosecutors. Americans are busy people; who can keep track of so many disembodied, dehistoricized "detainees," "enemy combatants," "American Taliban," and "terror suspects"?
The Lackawanna "terror cell" presents a special twist, because silence, indeed a "conspiracy of silence," is central to the government's case so far. Alwan, al-Bakri, Galab, Goba, Mosed, and Taher, all but one American-born, are accused of no violent act or plot in the usual understanding of those words. No cache of arms has been found, no plans for future malevolence. They are charged under the Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act. Conviction could get them 15 years in prison, a $250,000 fine, or both. There are, or were, two co-defendants. One is Jaber Elbaneh, a Lackawannan whose fugitive status likely prompted the surveillance of his uncle Mohammad Albanna, who is also related to two of the men arrested in September. The other is Kamal Derwish, assassinated on November 3, when a U.S. Predator drone fired a missile at a car in Yemen, killing everyone inside, including an alleged high-ranking Al Qaeda figure. Derwish, an American who lived briefly in Lackawanna, is said to have suggested and arranged the other men's journey to Afghanistan. Whatever information he had about them, incriminating or exculpatory, perished with him.
According to the government, in the spring of 2001, the "Lackawanna Six," as they are being called, plus Elbaneh, traveled to Pakistan for a spiritual retreat under the auspices of Tablighi Jamaat, a Pakistani missionary group that, depending on who is talking, is either irresponsibly apolitical, oppressively dogmatic, mystically centered on good works, or a breeder reactor for political extremists. In any case, it has never been on any U.S. terror list. The government does not say the men left Lackawanna intending to go to Afghanistan, or that they are members of Al Qaeda. It says that after a brief sojourn in Pakistan, where they encountered Derwish, they traveled to Kandahar, staying in guest houses where the talk was all of jihad and martyrdom. From there, it's alleged, they went to a camp called Al Farooq, where they trained in groups of 20, assembled and disassembled rifles, learned to shoot and climb mountains, watched explosives go off, slept in tents, wore uniforms every day but Friday, used aliases and passwords, refrained from small talk and self-revelation. One day they saw Osama bin Laden, who made a speech "espousing anti-United States and anti-Israeli sentiments."
Then they returned to Lackawanna and told no one of their experiences. This was the summer of 2001. After the attacks of September 11, they still said nothing. "While the defendants have roots in the Yemeni community of Lackawanna," the government argues, by their silence "the defendants failed to demonstrate [their] ties to the American community, let alone their allegiance to the American community."
Sahim Alwan, who eventually supplied much of the above information to the FBI, told agents that the camp was frightening, that he cried and feigned an ankle injury so as to be released after 10 days. The rest are said to have stayed on a few weeks. The government insists that the men could have declined the Afghan trip and didn't, could have left the guest houses en route and didn't, were free to leave the training camp and didn't. Alwan maintains that the guest houses were in desolate country where they had no bearings or friends and that one couldn't leave the camp freely. A friend of Galab told the New York Times that after the trip, "he told me, 'No, man, we were at this rotten hotel and we were misguided.'" According to coach Noman, Taher returned saying, "Uncle, I appreciate this country more than any other time." He said they slept on dirty mattresses, had bad food, and, finally, "it was a waste of time; we didn't learn anything." At various times over the year or so that elapsed between their return from Pakistan and their arrest, the six were interviewed by the FBI. Only Alwan and al-Bakri, who was picked up in Bahrain the day after his wedding and interrogated there by U.S. agents on September 11, 2002, admitted being in Afghanistan. Detention hearings in U.S. District Court last fall revolved around whether the six were dangerous if they had no violent history, had committed no violent act, and were the subject of no "clear and convincing evidence" showing "they were preparing, planning, or committing acts of harm," in the words of Judge Kenneth Schroeder. The judge was troubled. If the men had been to the camp and denied it to federal agents, they weren't honest, but neither were they under arrest at the time they were questioned. Silence, moreover, not only is not a crime; it's a right. Yet the federal prosecutor, William Hochul Jr., said it "should be used against" the defendants. However repellent the camp or bin Laden's speech, Judge Schroeder noted, there are no laws requiring citizens to report attendance at such things, to which Hochul responded, "It's more of an obligation, I suppose, if you're an American citizen, to the citizenry, or to humanity."
The judge wondered, "Is the government asking me to speculate some sort of potential act of violence or danger?" Where, he asked, is the evidence? In a bit of burden shifting, the prosecution essentially said, There is no evidence because the defendants have not provided it. They "by themselves have put the court in this box," Hochul said. "They're the ones who went to the Al Qaeda training camp but who didn't tell anybody about it." And given that the government charges that they "knowingly, intentionally, willfully supported this group this absence of clear evidence or clear indications is somewhat ominous. Again," he said, "we're projecting against this conspiracy of silence."
Politics trumped skepticism in the end: The judge found that no conditions of pretrial release could protect America from five of the men. Only Alwan was granted bail: a $600,000 bond, plus house arrest, GPS satellite monitoring and phone taps, for which he must also pay. Some of the other defendants offered to submit to similar surveillance regimens. Galab proposed round-the-clock video monitoring in all but the bathroom and bedroom of his home. According to the appeal filed by his lawyer, Joe LaTona, "the only response prosecutors had to Mr. Galab's offer was that it would not enable the government to know what was in Mr. Galab's mind."
On January 10, Galab pleaded guilty to lesser charges, admitting he'd had transactions with Al Qaeda—to wit, he paid for a uniform, stood guard duty at the camp, and received the aforementioned training. He agreed to a 10-year sentence, which could be reduced to seven. His relatives say he was cutting his losses. The others may try to do the same. At issue in the case against them is what constitutes providing material support and resources to terrorists. The U.S. Attorney's Manual, setting conditions for prosecution, says persons must be "acting as full- or part-time employees or otherwise taking orders from the entity," or they must be providing personnel or training. But from the beginning, the government has made no distinction between "receiving" and "providing" in this case; as Hochul argued, "You can provide personnel by way of yourself." One's body is thus the material resource; one's support evidenced just by having been at the camp. Under such a reading of the law, what the men actually did there, with what intentions, becomes irrelevant.
Yet the deepest questions revolve precisely around the men's intentions. Galab's agreement is silent there. If they really were keening to be martyrs in Al Qaeda's marquee operations and then sat around Lackawanna awaiting orders, their story is more pathetic than frightening. Al Farooq, according to government testimony in the Africa embassy bombing cases, was a boot camp to supply infantry for the then-U.S.-funded Taliban in their war against the Northern Alliance. John Walker Lindh also learned how to shoot and climb mountains there, and arrest is probably what saved him from grimy, anonymous death. Al Farooq, according to a terror-policy watcher who preferred anonymity, was "for the guys who were gonna schlepp, not for terrorists. You could move up to the terror camps, but there you were basically cannon fodder."
In his 1991 high school yearbook, Sahim Alwan thanked Allah, his parents, his social gang, the Arabian Posse, and, despite long-standing black-Arabian tensions in the region, fondly remembered a hangout in the heart of Buffalo's black section. Galab, Mosed, and Taher, who as teenagers spray-painted their clothes with the insignia of their crew, the Arabian Knights, participated in the hip-hop mix that defines the First Ward as much as the sight of a veiled woman or the men headed for prayer. Taher was voted "friendliest" by his graduating class in 1996. Like so many Lackawanna High School graduates, the six did not go on to college (though Mosed was in community college at the time of his arrest), and their employment was uneven. Galab co-owns a Sunoco station. Taher, Goba, and al-Bakri were out of work or casually employed. Alwan, who worked with underprivileged kids, was an emerging local leader, attending meetings with the FBI after 9/11 on the dual need to protect community and country.
It's said that the men began focusing on matters of faith as part of a changed life strategy once they married, had children, or contemplated same. They grew beards, prayed, stopped drinking, and discoursed on the finer points of Islam. As some of them still may have gambled, followed the Buffalo Bills obsessively, ate pizza and chicken wings, and, in Taher's case, had a white non-Muslim wife, they were perfect objects for the attentions of Tablighi Jamaat, which urges wavering Muslims to Pakistan for a tour of humility and renewal. (Searching for meaning in Marin County, Walker Lindh started out on a Tablighi-motivated Magical Mystery Tour as well.) From some of their homes, police confiscated a jumble of jihadi tapes and literature. To prosecutors, those prove extremist commitment. To Taher's attorney, Rodney Personius, possession of such materials—if they were even perused—is "more consistent with a rational inquiry into a controversial interpretation of the Islamic faith." Before his own arrest, Mohammad Albanna said, "A lot of people wrestle with this question of identity. I think these individuals wanted to know more about what it meant to be a true Muslim in a non-Muslim society." It seems, he said, they were naive.
Identity was once an easy thing for Lackawanna. The Lackawanna Steel Company built the town, named it, and underwrote everything down to the school supplies. Via employment, it instigated mass migrations to the area and, via pollution, family mobility out of the First Ward and into the stretches that now fill out the town proper. Progress didn't so much mean your children wouldn't be steelworkers as that you could live where you didn't have to hang the wash in the attic to spare it from soot. With time, if you were white, it also meant your children spoke only English and had no more than a sentimental attachment to old-country culture. This was the working class when that term still signified something potent and distinct. In 1903, when the steel plant opened, it was called the "Eighth Wonder of the World." At its height it employed 22,000. In 1982, when its successor, Bethlehem Steel, announced the shutdown, a worker memorably remarked, "Might as well have pants without pockets." On a sunny day in 1995 the basic oxygen furnace, once the finest in the world, was dynamited to dust. It took five seconds.
More than 8,000 people moved away from Lackawanna between 1970 and 1990. A host of smaller steelmakers and industries went too, some hiring former metalworkers as minimum-wage sweepers or security guards until the demolition crews arrived. About 15 years ago an ethnography of white students at Lackawanna High found that the boys had no distinct identity. They defined themselves by what they were not: not black, not girls, not Hispanic, not Arabian. Abdulsalam Noman nodded hearing this.
"I looked at the other communities that came before us," he said. Down the street from the Yemenite Benevolent Association, the Polish club, Dom Polski, is shuttered; the Spanish-American Welfare Society, a relic. "The Lackawanna Arab community kept us together—the language, the culture, and the religion together. If we take that apart, we're going to lose it." And "when you lose your culture, basically there is no culture for you."
Because of culture or familiarity with dislocation or both, the life and death of steel does not weigh heavy in the conversation of Yemenis as it does among older-line groups. Yemenis didn't immigrate en masse to Lackawanna until the 1940s and '50s, when Ahmed Jamil arrived. He was 17, a farm boy, barely literate in Arabic, when Bethlehem hired him. By 1957, he says, there were about 300 Yemenis in town, all men. They shared housing and living expenses, and remitted money home. For self-help they started the Benevolent Association, and for distraction, played cards or disported in the gin mills, clubs, and theaters that then lined Ridge Road. Eased immigration restrictions allowed families to come in the 1960s and '70s.
"That's when we realized this is our country," Jamil says. "We have to share its blessings and its responsibility. We have to feel more like Americans than Arabs." As industry hemorrhaged jobs, many Yemenis looked ahead, pooled their savings and expenses, lent to each other without interest, worked the system, and bought up grocery stores. At the same time, people rediscovered religion. In the early days, Jamil recalled, "I was American Number One. Everything wrong is right in my eyes—womanizing, other interests. Everything is good as long as there is indulgence. Until 1977 I wasn't practicing Islam at all." Then a Black Muslim asked him for scriptural guidance, and "I didn't know. That put me square to know about Islam, not only about Islam but about God—Arab, Christian, Jewish."
He says the younger generation is making up for what its elders neglected in piety, but just beyond the mosque on Wilkesbarre Avenue one finds a cultural fluidity that such elders don't discuss. "Assalam Allykum, Allykum Assalam!" a twentysomething Arabian looking more Sean John than imam shouted out as he entered the Liberty Food Mart there one Friday. A sign in the store advises customers to pay and be on their way, but on this cold, rainy afternoon the counterman, called Mason, was going easy. As Muslims they're not supposed to be near alcohol, pork, or gambling either, a young Arabian noted, but "you gotta serve the people." And Mason, 20, slim, wearing a baggy white T-shirt and a bandanna on his head, treated everyone with familylike regard: old blacks and Puerto Ricans, hands gripping lottery picks; kids cramming chips, older sisters slapping the cash for cigarettes or a strawberry Dutch Master; young brothers decked out ghetto fabulous, middle-aged guys in Bills sweats, black ladies planning weekend dos—give them a Phillies Blunt, a six-pack, those almost-real hair braids; white girls, moony and plain or crudely sassy, finding excuses to flirt with the Arabians. It was Ramadan, but one Arabian was eating a sandwich, another smoking fitfully till sundown; and the talk, English to Arabic, ricocheted around the jobs they had to get to, the car that wasn't running, the ride that might be coming, the booty got or not got, the pot that should be legal, the baby, baby momma, debt to family, and, just in squibs, the suspects/friends in jail.
"Sameer Alwan, Sameer Alwan," one called out to a kid by the counter. "Look, he doesn't even turn. That's Sahim's brother. Hey, man, how's the bail going?" Sameer looked scared, though everyone there knew or was related to the suspects. "The families are freaking," another allowed, his own included. He's not into the Islamic stuff, he said, though he's teaching his son the basics, certainly the language. He and the boy's mother aren't married, but the families "are cool with it"; she's teaching the child about Irish Catholicism. A crew of African Americans rushed in, his ride. After midnight they'd be at Buffalo clubs like The Groove and Utopia, creeping home at 5 or 6 a.m. Best not to touch that subject with the older folks; "I keep it on the down-low," another Arabian said.
Earlier I'd been told about a teenage girl who wore the hijab and outwardly practiced the faith while secretly piercing her navel and envisioning a licentious getaway. Maybe the Lackawanna suspects were doing something similar, in reverse. Maybe, unable to resolve their own struggle with what W.E.B. DuBois, speaking of African Americans, called "two-ness," they were prepared to jettison the "American" part of their hybrid selves, and in the process betray the "Arab" part as well. Or maybe, as an ESL teacher who grew up with them, Hannah Zaid, suggested, they were simply confused. As boys, she said, "they don't want to be laughed at" for religious observance; "they think, 'Man, there must be something wrong with me,'" so they reject it. Then "when they start questioning themselves—'Who am I? I want to be a good Muslim. I want to be a good American'—they don't know how to balance it." Maybe they were inspired or maybe they were duped, and maybe they had too little critical analysis and appreciation for Muslim variety to help them tell the difference. Whatever their story, in their contradictions and silences, their broken paths amid broken culture, their search for authenticity, malign or misguided, they were All-American Boys, postindustrial style.
Before his arrest, Mohammad Albanna remarked, "People say to us, 'Why can't you be an American?' Well, what is it? If there was any description, it would be to be anyone you want to be under the auspices of the Constitution. Freedom of speech, freedom of movement, freedom of religion—that's what America is." As it turns out, at that moment his phones were being tapped and the wheels were turning for his arrest. "We are all responsible for national security," he had insisted. "If I want to live in a dictatorship, I can live in a lot of places that are warmer than Buffalo, New York."

Here is a little video of the Chateau www.youtube.com/watch?v=KudFpoBjL38
We went to a little shop that sold locally produced honey, jellies, wines and cheeses. While we were there we got to see the ugly side of tourism. This woman came in. She very loudly screamed at the cashier "Do you speak English?" No bonjour madame, no Parle vou Anglaise. The woman seemed abrasive to me and she was speaking my first language. I can only imagine how she sounded to the clerk. She didn't wait for an answer before she brayed "how much is this?" Then she made some rude comment and left. Those are the people that enforce that stereotype of the Ugly American. We tried to do damage control. We went up with our purchase and said "Bonjour Madame, Parle vou Anglaise?" She responded wee. We talked about the shop. She told us about the sheep that they sheared for the wool products in the shop and the local bee keeper that made the honey. So with a little courtesy we got a beautiful memory of a conversation with a shop owner in Chambord, a real taste of France.

My pilgrimage from VMworld 2011 in Las Vegas has come to an end. In my humble opinion, this has been the week for the storage side of things with some amazing and interesting new stuff that has been released or is about to be released. There has been some really cool stuff that is working with SSD and storage.

vPilgrimage to VMworld 2011
VMworld 2011 is fast approaching and now is the time to start making final preparations for the pilgrimage to Las Vegas. The question that I see a lot, before these types of events, is what can I do to get the most out of the conference? I have been lucky enough to have been to all the VMworld Conferences since 2005 as well as one lucky trip to VMworld Europe in 2009. I am going to chime in on the some of the things that I do to get the most out of VMworld.

This is a apartment within a large secure block. There are three sets of lifts and it's on the 2nd floor.
Bedroom 1 – large double bedroom with plenty of space to move about.
Bedroom 2 – small double room with fitted cabinet.
Kitchen -- fully quipped kitchen with 3 ring electric hobs, a washing machine and family sized fridge/freezer.
Bathroom – standard bath with shower, toilet and wash basin. Simple, bright and clean.
Beddings are provided. Please kindly bring your own bath towels. This is due to the fact that a few of the previous guests were unsatisfactory about home cleaned towels and the quantity supplied. I therefore decided not to provide towels any more, I am simply unable to meet the high expectation of some of the guests. I am also tired of trying to wash out stains such as make-up, baby oil, hair dyes etc from towels. My new towels are often subjected to uses which I am sure people won't do to their own towels.
I know some of you travel far, as long as you are not fussy about my towels, I would be happy to provide them.
I have a single sofabed and also baby cot with sheets available on request.
I would say this apartment is very well suited to a family of four or five. The location is great and everything is so conveniently located.
Because we live very close to the flat (10min walk), so if you experience any problem, we can usually come around and help out pretty quickly.
I also state that the apartment and the building is absolutely NON SMOKING. I expect all guests to respect this rule.
Just a few things I am clarifying from various feedbacks from guests, so guests can be clear about the apartment:
1. This is not a luxury hotel -- it's a comfortable home, but I don't stock piles of professional laundered towels and beddings. If you want professional laundered towels and beddings, I can hire them for you at supplier's cost from hotel linen services, the price quote is anything from 20 pounds to 30 pounds for a set.
2. Water pressure is low -- this is a common issue for flats in Central London area. I have new combi boiler, but the water pressure isn't something I can fix.
3. The building -- there are many other flats in the building. It's not a historic house or new build. It was built in the early 80s, plain looking and basic in communal areas. Please don't expect luxury carpeted corridors and flower decorations. The bonus is that it has lifts, many other flats in the area only have stairs.
4. Noise -- the windows have secondary glazing, but there are still light noises from the street. So if you are from a peaceful countryside, then it may be too noisy for you.
We are easy going hosts and we do our best to help and accommodate your requests. Any questions, please do ask.
House rulesPlease be considerate and respectful to our neighbours. Also please keep clean.
200 GBP or Euro deposit on arrival and will be refunded on departure.

Reviews of this property
Excellent location close to London main attractions. We have walked everywhere and it you want to take tube, Leicester Square station is literally one minute. On arrival we were welcomed by Ns Yang. All easy and friendly. The flat was clean and had all things we needed, including wifi. It was also very convenient on departure as we could keep our luggage until the departure timeWe had a great stay and I highly recommend this flat for anyone visiting Longon
Great location!
Walking distance to Oxford street and cozy Covent Garden.
Nice host and easy to communicate with over email.
The apartment was clean and exactly like in the add and the host was easy to contact. I recomend this host
We (2 adults, 3 children) had a great stay in London! The communication with the landlady has worked perfectly from the start, the location of the apartment can not be beat, you are right in the middle and can reach almost all the sights on foot well. That there in the middle of a big city at night is loud, we did not find unusually :-) We come back in any case!
Wir (2 Erwachsene, 3 Kinder) hatten einen großartigen Aufenthalt in London! Die Kommunikation mit der Vermieterin hat von Anfang an perfekt geklappt, die Lage der Wohnung ist nicht zu toppen, man ist mitten drin und kann fast alle Sehenswürdigkeiten zu Fuß gut erreichen. Dass es mitten in einer Großstadt nachts laut ist, fanden wir nicht ungewöhnlich :-) Wir kommen auf alle Fälle wieder!
I will make a brief summary:
The best apartment location. In the heart of London nightlife district and movement, leading some noise. No trust in the pictures because it is not as nice as it looks. TV does not work, there is a comfortable sofa for 4 people well, the 5th maldormirá a 60x90 chair that if you are lucky to get pillows and cushions as a mattress. When we had a leak, the kitchen stool had 3 inches of water that we never knew where it came from and despite being warned that our flight arrived at Stansted at 22:00 and arrive at 00:00 or so, we reproached wearing half an hour waiting, we started well !, that's why I understand that money does not correspond as 958 euros for 3 nights it seems excessive. In our case we will only sleep and shower, then we get along not so good conditions that were offered. That if, if you are going to do the same as us, ie the shortest possible time to spend there, the location is perfect, metro station 20 meters away and 5 minutes from everything. We hope that if reservais, you may know what we've found us.
Haré un breve resumen:
Lo mejor del apartamento la ubicación. En pleno centro de Londres, zona de marcha y movimiento, lo que conlleva un poco de ruido. No fiaros de las fotos porque no es tan bonito como parece. La tele no funciona, no hay un sofá cómodo, para 4 personas bien, la 5ª maldormirá en un sillon de 60x90 eso si tiene suerte de ponerse las almohadas y cojines a modo de colchon. Cuando llegamos habia una gotera, el taburete de la cocina tenia 3 dedos de agua que nunca supimos de donde salia y pese haber avisado que nuestro vuelo llegaba a Standsted a las 22:00 y que llegaríamos a las 00:00 más o menos, nos echaron en cara que llevaba media hora esperando, vamos que empezamos bien!, por eso entiendo que calidad precio no se corresponde ya que 958 euros para 3 noches me parece excesivo. En nuestro caso solo vamos a dormir y ducharnos, por tanto llevamos bien las no tan buenas condiciones que se ofertaron. Eso si, si vais a hacer lo mismo que nosotros, es decir pasar el mínimo tiempo posible alli, la ubicación es perfecta, parada de metro a 20 metros y a 5 minutos de todo. Esperamos que si reservais, sepais lo que nos hemos encontrado nosotros.
Apartment very well and very nice Hui.
Appartement très bien et Hui très sympa.
We had a very enjoyable stay here! 5 good friends on their annual shopping, theatre, dinner and dancing event in the city. Apartment is perfectly located for this.
Have never used Wimdu before but the process was really quite good - any questions were emailed to the host and you got a quick response.
Helen was absolutely brilliant and met us to check us in at the time agreed and was happy to get up and check us out early.
The apartment had everything we needed for our overnight stay. We had lunch, dinner and breakfast out but could easily have used the facilities in the apartment. It was quite noisy at night but you are in the centre of London so this was totally expected. Would definitely stay here again!
Apartment very well located, right in the center, perfect!
Noisy despite the double glazing.
We have not had the pleasure of meeting Helen and so do not have to take his advice, we just got on the phone.
Possibility to leave luggage before our arrival and into the afternoon on the day of our departure, which is very significant.
Apartment very well for 4 people, a small error in the presentation, there is a bathroom.
Very correct, but it would still improve the household.
Appartement très bien situé, plein centre, idéal !
Bruyant malgré le double vitrage.
Nous n'avons pas eu le plaisir de rencontrer Hélène et ainsi n'avons pas profiter de ses conseils, nous l'avons juste eu au téléphone.
Possibilité de laisser les valises plus tôt à notre arrivée et jusque dans l'après-midi le jour de notre départ ; ce qui est très appréciable.
Appartement très bien pour 4 personnes, petite erreur dans la présentation, il n'y a qu'une salle de bains.
Très correct mais il faudrait améliorer encore le ménage.
Nice, helpful hosts. Very central location, but noisy at night rel. Apartment well equipped with everything. Cleanliness could be better.
Nette, hilfsbereite Gastgeber. Sehr zentrale Lage, dafür aber nachts rel laut. Appartment mit allem gut ausgestattet. Sauberkeit könnte besser sein.
Very suitable for short stays, as centrally located in Chinatown all theaters in walking distance. Although the road is noisy, but ok with the windows closed. The owner and also, the responsible person for the guests very friendly and the whole process very professionally .. The two rooms are very different in size. The equipment is complete, all that is needed is available.
Sehr geeignet fuer Kurzaufenthalte, da zentral in Chinatown gelegen alle Theater in walking distance. Zwar ist die Strasse laut, aber bei geschlossenen Fenstern ok. Die Besitzerin und auch die fuer die Gaeste zustaendige Person sehr freundlich und die gesamte Abwicklung sehr professionell.. Die beiden Zimmer sind sehr unterschiedlich in der Groesse. Die Ausstattung ist komplett, alles was noetig ist, ist vorhanden.

The Best Juicy Grilled Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts Recipe
Fire up your grill and get ready for some serious smoke.
Grilled skinless chicken breasts are all too often more like pieces of cardboard than proper serious eats. With a little know-how, however, we no longer have to stand for this injustice. The key to juicy grilled chicken breasts is to brine them first, then to cook them over a two-zone fire, using a thermometer to gauge doneness.
Every recipe we publish is tested, tasted, and Serious Eats-approved by our staff. Never miss a recipe again by following @SeriousRecipes on Twitter!
- Yield:serves 4
- Active time: 30 minutes
- Total time:45 minutes
- Rated:
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves, tender removed, 6 to 8 ounces each
- 2 quarts cold water
- 1/3 cup kosher salt, plus more for seasoning
- 1/4 cup sugar
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Type of fire: two-zone indirect
- Grill heat: medium-high
Place one chicken breast in a resealable plastic bag or between two pieces of plastic wrap. Using a meat pounder, rolling pin, or small skillet, pound chicken breast into an even thickness about 3/4-inches in height. Repeat with remaining 3 breasts.
To make the brine, in a medium bowl whisk together the the water, salt, and sugar until the solids are dissolved. Place the chicken breast slices in brine and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Light one chimney full of charcoal. When all the charcoal is lit and covered with gray ash, pour out and arrange the coals on one side of the charcoal grate. Set cooking grate in place, cover grill and allow to preheat for 5 minutes. Clean and oil the grilling grate. Remove chicken breasts from brine, pat dry with paper towels, season to taste with salt and pepper, and brush lightly with olive oil. Place chicken over hot side of grill and cook until well browned, 3 to 5 minutes. Flip and continue to cook until second side is browned and chicken registers 150°F (or 160°F if you really want to stick to FDA guidelines) on an instant read thermometer inserted into the center of breast. If second side browns before it registers 150°F, move to cool side of grill, cover, and let cook until chicken reaches temperature. Remove chicken from grill, let rest for 5 to 10 minutes, then serve immediately.

Where I stayed
I started my adventure at Wawel Castle which was once the house of polish kings and is now home to the Polish Crown Jewels and National Museum. The walled fortress also contains the Wawel Cathedral where the Polish Monarchs received their coronations and many kings, saints and famous people are buried. The fortress looks like something out of a fairy tale with its perfectly manicured landscape and magnificent medieval architecture.
From the castle I walked to Main Market Square in the heart of the old city. Europe's largest medieval town square houses the remarkable St. Mary's Basilica, a 14th century gothic church famous for its wooden altarpiece carved by Veit Stoss
I finished my day with a historical tour of Jewish Krakow. First we visited to the Old Jewish Quarter called Kazimierz where the movie Schindler`s List was filmed. This was once a booming Jewish settlement until WWII when the Jews were forced into the Ghetto across the river. With the success of the movie, important historical sites such as the Old Jewish Cemetery and Oscar Schindler`s factory have been restored and Jewish-themed restaurants have opened to capitalize on the tourist boom.
The next day was Remembrance Day so to honour the soldiers who lost their lives in World War II to liberate Europe from the Nazis; I decided to take a tour of Auschwitz and Birkenau. Auschwitz was the largest Nazi Concentration Camp; it was built in an old Polish Army barracks and received its first group of 728 Polish prisoners on June 14th 1940. Soviet prisoners of war were soon to follow as well as German homosexuals and criminals then later Jews. It is estimated that around 1.1 million people had died at the Auschwitz camps.
To offset the sadness of the concentration camps, I decided to end my day with a tour of the Old Salt Mine. The Wieliczka Salt Mine aka the Old Salt Mine or Underground Salt Cathedral of Poland is one
of the oldest operating salt mines in the world
My three-day Krakow adventure ended with a longing to come back and spend at least a week visiting more of the nearly 6000 historical sites in and around the city.

Smokers in the UK who cannot quit immediately will soon be advised to use e-cigarettes as nicotine alternatives and even as medicine.
The Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency released a statement June 12 declaring electronic cigarettes will be treated as medicine and nicotine replacement. This directive aims to give people the assurance that the product is safe, and to provide them with the confidence to use the product.
The regulation is slated for implementation in 2016 to license e-cigarettes and nicotine replacement products. While the regulation is still 3 years away, electronic cigarette manufacturers will have more than enough time to adjust their products and ensure safety and compliance to existing medicine standards.
Although the electronic sticks will still be available prior to regulations coming into effect, the government is not recommending them as a nicotine alternative yet. Sally Davies, chief medical officer of Britain, said that e-cigarettes must first be regulated before the government can recommend their use. "It is much better to get nicotine from safer sources such as nicotine replacement therapy," Davies said.
Manufacturers like SKYCIG UK are concerned about the plan for regulation. SKYCIG commercial manager Damien Scott ensures the public that their company is already doing self-regulation on their products. He considers e-cigarettes as "lifestyle products", and putting a medical regulation on them might make consumers think twice about purchasing.
Smoking is still considered as one of the leading causes of death in England. The regulatory agency sees the planned directive as a means to sell e-cigarettes over the counter, just like medicines.

Reprieve of the Fifteen Year License Revocation and Commutation of the Lifetime Drivers License Revocation
A person whose drivers license has been revoked for fifteen years in Nebraska as part of a sentence for drunk driving under the influence third or subsequent offense may apply for a reprieve from the Board of Pardons. The application for reprieve is made to the DMV, which reviews it and forwards it to the Board of Pardons. If the Board grants a reprieve, a Nebraska resident may drive a vehicle equipped with an ignition interlock device (BAIID) after applying for an ignition interlock permit (IIP).
The Board of Pardon has stated that it will not grant a pardon until the applicant has served seven years of the fifteen year revocation. It also requires the applicant to have been sober with a clean criminal record for seven years.
A non-resident must contact his home state to determine his driving eligibility. A reprieve in Nebraska does not mean that another state will grant driving privleges.
The DMV reviews the appplication for compliance with the following criteria, which are set in statute. The applicant must:
Contact the Legal Division at the following:
When you receive your application, fill it out completely. All questions must be answered fully and truthfully. Any applications with unanswered questions will be returned.
The DMV will process the application and make a recommendaton to the Board of Pardons. The recommendation and application is sent to the Board. This process may take several months.
The Board of Pardons will set the application for a hearing. After review of the application the Board will vote whether or not to hold a final hearing for the application and permit the applicant to address the Board. If the Board declines to set a final hearing, the file is closed and there will be no reprieve. If the Board votes to set a final hearing, it will notify the applicant of the date.
The reprieve means that the 15 year license revocation remains in place, but the applicant is given the right to drive a vehicle equipped with and IIP for the remainder of the 15 years.
Non-resident: A grant of reprieve for a non-resident of Nebraska does not guarantee that the person will be able to drive in a state other than Nebraska. Driving privileges in other states depend on the laws of the other state.
To contact the legal division about any the above matters,call (402) 471-9593, or write us at PO Box 94699, Lincoln NE 68509. You may email the legal division. We do not accept any legal documents by email.

Resellers: Improve Your Efficiency
John Black, president of Catalyst Telecom, talks about reseller efficiency in an exclusive interview with Business Solutions magazine President Jim Roddy.
<iframe src="https://www.bsminfo.com/player/1eb3f750-f440-4634-9762-0d32c12f0b0b" style="height:390px; width:600px;" frameborder="0"></iframe>
Length: 10 min, 54 sec
One of those things (you offer) is custom configuration and how it adds to the efficiency, cutting several weeks out of the process and adding to a reseller's billing and cash flow. If you can give some more details on that, that would be great.
Typically (the product) goes to the reseller for them to do the staging and the remote programming, and then they have to reship to the end user's site. So what we're offering is doing the staging and the remote programming in our warehouse, drop-shipping it to the end user ready to be racked and stacked or installed. All in all, that cuts about three weeks off the A/R cycle because we invoice the day it leaves our warehouse. Typically, the reseller can't invoice until it's either onsite or installed at the end user.
What we're suggesting is that as they grow, they don't continue to hire technicians to do this staging or inside programming. Or reallocate the people they have today into other positions that are more related to sales and marketing, because our intent is to do more back-office tasks for our resellers and let them focus on more of their customer-facing tasks.
If you can talk about training a little bit. Two that really jumped out to me were inside sales training and then "How to Sell to CFOs." They're making a lot of the decisions nowadays because purse strings are getting a lot tighter.
We have developed a lot of custom education for our resellers based on resellers' requirements. So we can pick and choose from those modules already developed to create a custom curriculum for a reseller based on their specific needs.
A more common phenomenon, especially with the economy, is decisions that used to be made by the CIO have now been elevated to the CFO. The CFO is really making tradeoffs across the company. It could be diverse technologies or not even technology decisions at all. It could be new buildings – just a lot of trade-off decisions have to be made.
We've developed a webinar-based class to help salespeople really understand how to better sell to the CFO. Our CFO at ScanSource was involved in development of the training. We just think a lot of salespeople really need to structure their proposals differently and really present it differently to a CFO than you do a CIO.

"Teo will no longer be part of the professional squad," club president Gaston Cogorno said.
Trainer Alfio Basile, who has had two spells as Argentina coach, resigned after the derby defeat which left Racing five from bottom of the Clausura championship with nine points from 10 games. They are 11 points behind joint leaders Boca Juniors and Newell's Old Boys.
Local media reported fighting in the Racing changing room at Independiente as team mates turned on Gutierrez after a senseless red card for insulting the referee left them with nine men for the final 21 minutes on Saturday. The striker then allegedly threatened them with a paintball gun.
"We will seek a mutual way out but (Gutierrez) won't play for Racing again," Cogorno said of the 26-year-old who has been sent off four times since joining the club from Trabzonspor of Turkey in February 2011.
"I haven't talked to Teo but I did with his agent and the investment group that brought him (to Racing) to explain to them why he won't play (for the club) any more.
"People are tired of Teo's attitude," he added of the striker.
Gutierrez irritated team mates last year by returning late from international duty with Colombia. He was still put in the starting line-up by then coach Diego Simeone for that weekend's key match at Boca Juniors only to get himself sent off for pushing the referee for not awarding him a penalty.
The talented striker was joint top scorer of last year's Clausura, second of two 19-match championships in the Argentine season, with 11 goals. He has only netted nine this season, six in the Apertura and three in the Clausura.
Racing have appointed 31-year-old Luis Zubeldia, who has impressed at Lanus and Ecuador's Barcelona in his short coaching career, as Basile's replacement.
"I feel privileged. It's what all coaches want, to train a big club," Zubeldia told Racing TV. Seven-times league champions Racing are one of Argentina's so-called Big Five.
At his presentation news conference, Zubeldia refused to be drawn on Gutierrez.

Stocks turned mixed early Friday afternoon following a drop in consumer confidence to its lowest level in a year.
The Dow Jones industrial average was up 0.1%, the S&P 500 was flat and the Nasdaq dipped 0.3%. Options expirations boosted trading, sending volume sharply higher compared with Thursday morning's action.
The Reuters/University of Michigan index of consumer confidence unexpectedly dropped 1.6 points in January to 71.3, the second straight decline and the lowest level since December 2011. Wall Street had expected an increase to 75.
Visa (V) was down 3% in active trading after an analysts at Robert W. Baird downgraded the stock to neutral from outperform, citing valuation concerns and slowing retail sales.
The stock has pulled back into a buy area following a bounce off its 10-week line. On Jan. 10, the stock reversed off a new high and now appears headed for its sixth decline in seven sessions. Volume on the decline has been mostly weak.
Rival MasterCard (MA) lost 2% in heavy turnover. It's 6% past a 486.18 entry from a base-on-base pattern. Both Visa and MasterCard have B+ Accumulation-Distribution Ratings, indicating strong demand for the shares.
Meanwhile, NetScout Systems (NTCT) dropped 4% in massive volume, piercing its 50-day line and falling 6% below its 26.13 early flat-base entry.
On Thursday, the software developer said fiscal Q3 profit edged up 3%, a light gain but better than expected.
Among gainers, semiconductor equipment maker Ultratech (UTEK) jumped 4% to a new high in double its average daily turnover. The stock has recovered from a negative reversal Jan. 2 and is now 20% past a 32.93 buy point. Ultratech is scheduled to report Q4 earnings on Jan. 31. Profit for the quarter is expected to rise 12%, which would mark the weakest increase in 12 quarters.
Also, microscope maker FEI (FEIC) climbed 3% to a new high, putting it 5% above a 56.58 flat-base entry.

Plot: In 1979, the American embassy in Iran was invaded by Iranian revolutionaries and several Americans are taken hostage. However, six manage to escape to the official residence of the Canadian Ambassador and the CIA is eventually ordered to get them out of the country. With few options, exfiltration expert Tony Mendez devises a daring plan: to create a phony Canadian film project looking to shoot in Iran and smuggle the Americans out as its production crew. With the help of some trusted Hollywood contacts, Mendez creates the ruse and proceeds to Iran as its associate producer. However, time is running out with the Iranian security forces closing in on the truth while both his charges and the White House have grave doubts about the operation themselves.

Feinstein sees inside her own mind. Our thoughts exactly.
'Appearing on Fox News over the weekend, Feinstein criticized Americans for complaining about hands down the pants groping by the government. She said "it's very important that TSA keeps up its efforts" despite the fact the "public has not been terribly sympathetic" to an endless parade of fake terror threats — the most recent admittedly perpetuated by the CIA — that are used to violate their privacy in the most intimate way.
She also called for "candidly" killing more people in faraway places. "I am hopeful that we will be able to, candidly, kill this bomb maker and kill some of these other associates, because there is a dangerous process in play at the present time," she said.'
There is indeed – Feinstein's process of what passes for thought.

Boxing Result
Ganaway eyes NABC belt!
By Jose Reyes
Up and coming lightweight prospect "The One" Rashad Ganaway (9-0 ,7 KOs) stayed on course when he extended his unbeaten streak with a TKO win over Michael Williams (5-8, 3 KOs) at 2:48 of the first round tonight at the West Junior High School Gymnasium in West Memphis, Arkansas. Williams visited the canvas three times in the first round and the referee stopped the carnage due to the three-knockdown rule, which was in effect. With the victory Ganaway is on schedule to fight Jaime "Super-Fly" Sandoval (15-3, 12 KOs) for the NABC lightweight title on March 28th in the Rio Grande Valley, south Texas' hot bed of boxing which is promoted by Peacemaker Promotions.

Some artists have pre-show rituals involving meditation, eating a particular type of sandwich, kissing a rabbit's foot or slamming a six-pack. But for Matthew Dear, a brief stroll is warmup enough.
"Black City Live," a new video from M ss ng P eces, follows around the avant-pop experimentalist, producer and DJ before he takes the stage at Brooklyn's Music Hall Of Williamsburg. Cameras tail the Ghostly International artist as he walks across North Sixth Street, enters the venue, runs through his sound check and performs "You Put A Smell On Me," from his Black City album, in front of a live crowd. The black-and-white clip only lasts less than three minutes, and while it doesn't catch Dear doing anything bizarre backstage, it does catch a shot of the dapper music maker buttoning his shirt cuffs.
Dear will release a new EP titled Slowdance on April 5. The EP, which marks the third and final single taken from Black City, will include a reinterpretation from How To Dress Well, the track "Inhh Dahh" and remixes from Todd Edwards, Photocall, Mark E, Nicolas Jaar, and Sascha Dive.
Download Photocall's remix of "You Put A Smell On Me" here, or stream it below. And don't forget to check out Dear's upcoming tour dates.

Tribulus Terrestris
Tribulus, also known as Puncture Vine, is a plant found in many warm regions. The best known member is Tribulus Terrestris, a widespread weed proven to increase the body's natural testosterone levels, thereby improving male sexual performance and help build lean muscle.
It appears to do so by stimulating androgen receptors in the brain. Tribulus terrestris increases testosterone by increasing gonadotropin releasing hormone with gonadotropic adaptogen compound containing Tribulus terrestris (GnRH) which in turn stimulates the production of LH and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH).
In our research, Tribulus was shown to enhance libido and erection due to the release of nitric oxide from the nerve endings innervating the corpus cavernosum (penis).
Tribulus Terrestris is effective in:

Your DD sounds like a little gem! Give her a big hug from me & my puppy dog!
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Your DD sounds like a little gem! Give her a big hug from me & my puppy dog!
(¸.´(¸. (¸.´¸¸.¨¯`.¸¸.♥ rebecca
I agree with you. My DGD does the same thing.
Grandma of 5 beautiful grand kids, 4 crazy cats & 1 dog!
I have made my DGS 2 quilts so far and he sleeps under both at night, walks around with them wrapped around him, has to get one to sit and watch tv with me. He is 12 now, I see many more in his future since he loves them so much. All my adult children also love them and they realize how much time and work goes into them. They often call me to ask me to make one they could give as a gift for someone and they do pay for the materials.
Theres nothing wrong with me a little chocolate won't fix.
thats precious!!!....It feels so good to know they are loved and used...my 2 children and thier spouses and all 4 grands love them...(sometimes maybe to get more..LOL)
A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort :lol:
Isn't that sweet. I love little girls, mine are grown. No grandkids yet!
I know who in my family appreciates what I make and give. I have a DDL who only appreciates hand made things from her grandmother. Nothing from me is ever in sight when I go to her house. Needless to say, hand made quilts will go to granddaughters whose mother appreciate what I make.
Attitudes of gratitude. Wonderful and makes you want to keep turning out the quilts.
So nice to hear you have grateful people in your life who enjoy your quilts. I read about so many whose quilt goes unappreciated and it's painful to read. But I'll bet you are quick to show appreciation yourself... little apples don't fall far from trees.
aka Chicken McLittle
If it's true we learn from our mistakes, I'm going to be a genius!
I think I figured out why some people don't seem to appreciate a home made quilt. They can't return it for a refund or exchange like they can a regular store bought gift. I may be wrong, but I think that may be one of the reasons.
My DDIL is the one I love to gift quilts to. She says she is in awe of my work, I wouldn't go that far. It just fills you up to know someone is happy with your work. Last year I gave a crocheted potholder to my Dr's receptionist, and everytime I go to the doctor, she tells me how much she loves that potholder and that she uses it every day. Now she is going to get a quilt for her soon-to-born baby.

Someone is protesting at Atlus for the way they treated the Character Naoto transgender.
I feel that these people are miss understanding Naoto's story and are blowing it out of partition. At the end of her story, she became a strong women that is able to work at a job with mostly male workers.
What do you guys think of this silly protest? Is it someone misinterpreting the message of her story?

NYC! 3 bucks, 2 bags, 1 me
Wow... I'm finally in New York City!!! Almost three bucks, definitely two really heavy bags, and one of me. I sang that song from "Annie" the whole train ride.
Well, everyone left and it was just me, Grandpa and Grandma left in Brookfield. We had a great time doing nothing, watching baseball, eating a lot still, getting a little work done. After a tearful farewell (typical - what's wrong with me?), my amazing Aunt Cheryl drove me to the Poughkeepsie train ...

I am not a baby, but decided to give this baby food a try, especially since some of my favorite foods are Sweet potatoes, blueberry and pumpkin. The taste is balanced, definitely not (too) sweet and I mostly feed the Apple and Pumpkin's flavor. Overal, it's very nice and healthy, but I guess I prefer the freshly prepared equavalent.

One thing always about Ella's Kitchen is that they have such interesting combinations that I just have to try all of them and my baby loves each and every one. Looking forward to new stuff that they churn out of their kitchen! >>>>>>>>>>> Click on my page link above to read about my favourite iherb purchases for my family.
