Growing up, I can remember teachers having us write down our favorites--"favorite color", "favorite activity", "favorite food", etc. My answers always went something like this: blue, art/drawing, and potato filling. What in the world was "potato filling"? Most of my peers were writing "pizza" and I stood out, leaving others to question. The best answer I could provide was that potato filling was a cross between mashed potatoes and stuffing, mixed together with additional yumminess and baked i … [Read more...]

Ducks In A Row
I love Kellie's annual Christmas post. Every year it inspires me to get it together and promises the fruit of my labor will be more time to adore Jesus in Advent. Win-win. Real, true, well-planned holidays are possible without stress and having a larger family does not preclude doing something well. Because really, in the end of it, it's all about planning and doing it ahead of time. The more I live, the more children I have, the more I plan. There's really no other way.You could say I … [Read more...]
Chasing Perfect
I've been learning a lot as a mom lately. Learning how little control I have over some issues with my children… yet how my influence and outlook as a mom is still paramount. It has been trying. I haven't been sprinting through it like usual, but instead clamoring on, tripping, righting myself, and trying to keep pace. This mom road is a long one and feels even longer in the face of certain challenges. We've talked before how it is more like a lifetime marathon and that keeping our "eyes on t … [Read more...]
A Crockpot Kind of Day
We awoke this morning to dense fog. It was the creepy kind that obscures traffic lights and hides morning walkers. I rolled out of bed, less than enthusiastic, and shuffled to the gym. Workout, check (wondering if I will be able to walk later??). Thankfully it was done and the full day lay before me. Then I headed home to find this...How is it that our sweet ones can be so darn pathetic when under the weather? I am usually all business in the morning, getting kids up, fed, and out t … [Read more...]

Wedding Survival With Kids In Tow
Our family is still happily reeling from the whirlwind wedding weekend of my husband's brother and his new bride. It was beautiful, breathtaking, tear-filled, and so very special. We had a fantastic time. Going into it, though, I have to admit I had my doubts. How were we supposed to achieve all of us being in the wedding, satisfying a lot of people's expectations, while still having fun and keeping our sanity? It seemed a feat almost impossible. Yet as the dust settles, I can contentedly s … [Read more...]
Spaces In Our Togetherness
Today is a day marked with mixed emotions as I send my older two children off to school. Next week #3 and #4 head off to preschool as well. It has been a brilliant summer--one of new experiences (belonging to a pool and swim team!) and adventures (to the caverns, to Maine, to museums and theme parks!) I love having my kids home. I call myself a wannabe-homeschooler because I send my kids to school during the year, but then summer is my chance to put some teaching/learning ideas into pra … [Read more...]
Thoughts from a ring bearer
Being in a wedding is a big deal for a young boy. Measure him for a tux; size him for fancy shoes; promise him that he'll walk down the center aisle with his brother as ring bearers--these are BIG things. Big, exciting things. With a month to go, wedding talk pervades a lot of our every day family life. Four of five of my children will play a part in the wedding of my brother-in-law and future sister-in-law in September. My #4 (MG, 3yo) will be the flower girl, escorted down the aisle by my … [Read more...]
When should parents push?
I swore when I had kids, I wouldn't push them into any sports or activities. I wanted them to follow their hearts and discover their passions on their own.Eight years into parenting, I'm realizing my approach, though well-intentioned, was a little off, at least concerning certain children of mine. My oldest, for example, is like a little birdie who would never learn to fly if it wasn't for a gentle (or sometimes harder) push from mama. As a result of his hesitancy, we've decided on a few n … [Read more...]

This application claims priority based on Provisional U.S. Patent Application No. 60/551,757 filed Mar. 10, 2004.
U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10/015,087 by applicant regarding method of manufacturing.
This application relates to molded surface (touch) fasteners of the hook-and-loop and self-engaging (mushroom) types, such fasteners which may be integrally molded, and to methods of using same.
The field of surface fasteners, including hook-and-loop and self engaging types, is well established, as evidenced by numerous US and international patents for fasteners and methods of manufacturing since at least the mid 20th century. Improvements in the field have largely focused on developing diverse hook and mushroom designs, arraying fastening elements on a surface, increasing hook density, and methods of manufacturing such fasteners in continuous batches by molding or extrusion techniques. In general, these systems include a plurality of hook-like or mushroom-like fastening elements which extend from a generally contiguous sheet form base, with the individual hooks or mushrooms having undersides spaced away from the base.
Molded hookstrips are now often manufactured in a continuous strip on a rotating mold from which individual hooks are stripped by elastically pulling the undercut ends from the mold (for example Jens et al U.S. Pat. No. 6,258,311). Mushroom fasteners as well as some hook fasteners are typically manufactured by first continuously molding a sheet form base with post forms, then heat forming the post ends into a bulbous shape (for example Provost et al U.S. Pat. No. 6,526,633, Parellada et al U.S. Pat. No. 6,708,378 B2).
Typically, both hook-and-loop and self-engaging mushroom fasteners are manufactured as subsidiary products to be attached to a primary product. Fabric like hookstrips are generally contiguous with a woven base and are typically sewn to clothing or flexible materials. Molded hookstrips, as well as self-engaging mushroom systems, are typically molded integrally with a sheet form base which is then attached to a relatively rigid primary product structure by adhesive, welding, or mechanical means. These attachment methods can be problematical in that adhesives may fail, edge peeling often occurs, and they generally result in a relatively thick assembly. Even recently developed "low profile" systems generally have significant thickness which prevents adjoining components from being joined in a flush juxtaposition and are therefore not suitable for many assembly applications. In addition, attached fasteners can be relatively costly for an end product manufacturer in terms of inventory, assembly time, and potential returns. Other factors such as color matching, material compatibility, durability, and material efficiency of the fastener are drawbacks of attached fasteners for many applications. Applications for such attached fasteners are limited by the necessity of attaching the fastener, assuring adhesion, cost, and the relative thickness of the resultant assembly. Therefore, particularly in assembly processes, other methods of attachment are frequently chosen.
In recent years several patents have been issued regarding methods of integrally molding hook-and-loop type hookstrips as part of a primary product (McVicker U.S. Pat. No. 5,656,226, Harvey U.S. Pat. No. 6,224,364 B1, Murasaki et al U.S. Pat. No. 6,678,924 B2). In many instances such integrally molded surface fasteners would appear to be advantageous to industry. However, because these techniques are based upon forcibly removing hook-shaped elements with "blind" undersides from a mold, they appear to be limiting: necessitating complex manufacturing methods; resulting in compromised hook designs of relative weakness; limiting choice of plastic materials; and requiring relatively long dwell times. All of these factors would appear to increase relative cost as well as limit functionality and potential applications.
A few patents and applications have disclosed double-sided surface fasteners (i.e. Kennedy et al U.S. Pat. No. 6,737,147B2, Shepard et al US 2001/0022012 A1, Dudek et al U.S. Pat. No. 6,449,816 B1) Generally these disclosures include means for attaching independently manufactured hookstrip and loop fastener portions in a back to back configuration, resulting in a relatively thick overall assembly when connected.
In pending U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10/015,087, the present applicant has disclosed a method and apparatuses for producing surface fasteners of the slidingly engaging type by utilizing a set of bypassing/biparting dies. This method, among other attributes, allows fastening elements with effectively "blind" undersides to be precisely and economically manufactured with a relatively simple reciprocating molding machine as an integral part of a primary product, or by a continuous molding machine incorporating a rotating die set.
Several examples of prior art include surface fasteners having undercut fastening elements which extend from a fenestrated base structure. Kayaki U.S. Pat. No. 5,067,210 discloses a device having rows of two directional hook sets formed between contiguous structural rows, so as to have a fenestrated base with hook undersides opposite windows in the base. Pacione U.S. Pat. No. 5,384,462 discloses a carpet tape with a fenestrated base structure and hook like elements which do not appear to be related to individual fenestrations. Allan U.S. Pat. No. 5,555,608 discloses (
Thus it can be seen by examination of the prior art that there is room for significant improvement in the field. Integrally molded fasteners of both the hook-and-loop and mushroom types which can be manufactured by an improved method would be useful. Inexpensive surface fasteners with greater material efficiency would be beneficial. Fastening elements of diverse designs with precise details which can be economically manufactured without limitation by mold removal requirements is desirable. Fasteners with minimal profile thickness would have great utility. Double-sided fasteners and fastener strips with multiple fastening zones have many potential applications. Improved methods for economically assembling products and components are needed. Other applications for improved surface fasteners will be seen throughout this disclosure.
A first object of the present invention is to provide surface fasteners which can be economically manufactured. Another object of the invention is to provide surface fasteners which can be integrally molded as part of a primary product. Another object is to provide surface fasteners which can incorporate a diversity of precise fastening element designs, including hooks for attaching to complementary loop structures as well as self-engaging fastening systems. Another object is to provide surface fasteners which incorporate fastening elements arrayed in multidirectional orientations. Another object is to provide surface fasteners which are efficient in material consumption. Another object is to provide unitary surface fasteners with two integral active sides. Another object is to provide surface fasteners having fastening element zones which are recessed or otherwise differentiated from at least part of a surrounding surface. Another object is to provide surface fasteners which incorporate fastening elements of diverse types at disparate surface zones. Another object is to provide surface fasteners which are of very low profile. Another object is to provide methods of attaching and assembling product components utilizing improved surface fasteners. Another object is to provide surface fasteners with relatively high hook density. Another object is to provide "button"-like surface fasteners with fastening elements arrayed in sets about a singular window or cluster of windows in a structure.
The present invention includes a family of surface fasteners each having a plurality of undercut attachment elements, wherein the elements are arrayed in sets of at least three, with their undercut segments extending laterally over the windows of a fenestrated base structure. The invention includes both "hook" fastener portions of diverse designs for attaching with compatible loop portions, and "self-engaging" fasteners for attaching to like portions, as well as multi-function fasteners for attaching to complementary loops or self-like components.
A significant aspect of the present surface fastener, as seen in any embodiment, is that all surfaces of the various parts may be seen from either one side or the other of the structure: that is, there are no "blind" segments requiring specialized molding methods. The underside of each fastening portion may be readily formed by one part of a biparting die-set, as the upper surfaces of each portion is formed by the other part of such a die set.
This invention also includes diverse embodiments with significant features including: integrally molded systems; examples of many possible geometric configurations; singular button-like fasteners; double-sided fastening portions; fasteners of diverse profile configurations; fasteners of multiple types incorporated on a singular structure; and fastening zones recessed from surrounding structure. The invention also includes methods for using such fasteners to attach and/or assemble various product components.
One of the immediate advantages of the present invention is that surface fastening zones can be integrally molded as part of a primary molded product or component utilizing relatively simple and economical reciprocating molding technology. By associating multiple hook elements with each window, relatively high hook density can be achieved without necessitating exceptionally small and delicate male mold segments. Fastener portions of diverse types with elements of precise design can therefore be economically and rapidly produced.
Another immediate advantage of the present invention is that such relatively high density hook portions can be readily produced, as either stand-alone products or integrated structural components, without limitation relative to extraction of undercut segments from the mold, with little limitation in materials, and reasonably short dwell times in comparison to other known systems for integrally molding hookstrips.
Another advantage is that hook portions for engaging with complementary loop structures, self-engaging systems, or multi-function fasteners can be provided; and can be integrally manufactured as part of a singular product component. Therefore, using the methods taught herein, embodiments of the invention can be incorporated into manufactured product components for attachment to complimentary loop portions, for attaching two components to an intermediary loop portion, for attaching two loop portions with an intermediary double sided hook portion, or for attaching the components directly with a self-engaging embodiment of the invention.
Furthermore, hooks of differing designs can be incorporated within a singular product. For instance a hookstrip or product component may have a first zone of hooks designed for relatively permanent attachment and a second zone with hooks designed for relatively easy release; as in a self attaching fastening tab for a diaper or clothing product. A fastening portion or product component may also include attachment elements extending from, and integral with, both sides of a singular base structure thus providing a means for attaching two overlapping loop-bearing elements.
As can be seen in
Another optional aspect of the present invention seen in the embodiment of
Factors such as the length of the fastening elements 04 relative to the base, shape, flexibility, etc. may be varied by design within the scope of the invention; longer elements, for instance, generally provide greater flexibility and increased tendency to grab while shorter stiffer elements generally providing stronger adherence and less grab.
The embodiment illustrated in
Such a configuration also allows two product components to be assembled in an essentially flush surface-to-surface juxtaposition, by incorporating appropriate dimensioning, as seen in
An embodiment such as this, with two or more fastening zones having distinct types of fastening elements can be useful in applications where a differential grip might be desired by utilizing a method which includes attaching the first zone 10 to a first complementary portion, then attaching the second zone 22 to a second complementary portion so as to connect the complimentary portions. By providing the portions with differentiated grip strength such an embodiment could be used as a clothing tab wherein the second zone 22 is effectively permanently attached to a loop-bearing material 25 and the first zone 10 is adjustably attached and/or removed at the point of use. It should also be noted that the fastening elements 04′ of the second zone 22 include multiple hook barbs 27, so as to afford enhanced engagement with a complementary loop-bearing material. Providing multiple hook barbs or other relatively precise enhancements in the shape of fastening elements is a distinctive feature of the present invention, wherein such precise definition may be provided by a manufacturing apparatus that includes a die projecting through a window 04, 04′ so as to precisely mold the shape of underside 06, 06′.
As in the embodiment illustrated in
A double-sided fastener portion such as that shown in
It should be appreciated that double-sided fastening portions can be readily provided within the scope of the present invention by at least three distinct means. By a first means, as illustrated in
It should also be noted that as in other embodiments, double-sided fastening portions of the type of
An alternative type of self-engaging fastener is illustrated in
It can be appreciated that, unlike other embodiments, the embodiment of
A product component 17 having integrally molded zones 10, 22 of self-engaging fastening elements and their associated windows is schematically illustrated in
It is to be understood that the illustrations and specifications herein are intended to generally describe the various aspects of this invention and are not limiting, and furthermore that such aspects man be combined in manifold ways to produce a wide variety of useful applications within the scope of the invention. Having fully described my invention I hereby claim the following.

Freshfields in Paris has picked up one of Europe's leading securities lawyers in a raid on international firm Stibbe Simont Monahan Duhot & Giroux.
Patrick Bonvarlet, a partner at the Dutch/Belgian/French practice based in Paris, is set to join Freshfields as a partner on 17 April. Bonvarlet is considered one of the best corporate practitioners in France, and his move represents a major coup for Freshfields, which has expanded its Paris office by 20 per cent this year.
"We are absolutely delighted to have secured Patrick's service," says Freshfields Paris managing partner James Vaudoyer.
"We have been on the other side from him in many transactions over the years and he is extremely impressive."
Bonvarlet's expertise is in securities, particularly the equity markets, a practice area which Freshfields is keen to expand in France.
Vaudoyer says: "With the euro now in place there will be an increasing number of cross-border mergers, and we are seeing many more French companies using Initial Public Offerings rather than bank borrowing to raise funds."
Paris's CAC 400 index of shares is now the second highest capitalised in Europe. In addition, many companies in France are climbing onto the e-commerce bandwagon and looking for early listings on the so-called Marche Nouveau, the equivalent of New York's Nasdaq.
Vaudoyer says: "The new economy companies come to the markets for money very quickly. We will be looking at expanding our firm to cope with the demand, possibly by as much as 25 per cent in the next 12 months."
Freshfields has 28 partners and 140 lawyers in its Paris office.

Examples of non-normal observations for which a studentized sample mean has a student's T-distribution

Statistical methodologies and their practice often rely upon tests and confidence interval procedures based on Studentized sample means of independent observations from a normal parent population and their Student's t distributions. This is specially so when the sample size n is small. An unmistakable impression one is left with, whether implied or not, is that such exact Student's t distributions may not be valid when the observations are dependent or non-normal. We show that one cannot discard the possibility of an exact Student's t distribution for a Studentized sample mean, or its suitable multiple, simply because the observations may be dependent or non-normal. In arriving at this conclusion, we have uncovered a very interesting and seemingly unknown feature (Theorem 2.1) of an n-dimensional multivariate t distribution with equi-correlation p, arbitrary degree of freedom v, and arbitrary n.

Alfredo Aceves' unpredictable behavior often overshadows the rest of what he brings to the table. Oddities aside, though, Aceves is very valuable pitcher. Aceves is expected to have a prominent role on the Red Sox' pitching staff as a long reliever/spot starter, but there was still some speculation during spring training that Boston could eventually decide to deal him away. While it's unclear if the Sox ever considered such a move, a few teams had interest in Aceves, according to The Boston Globe's Nick Cafardo. As Cafardo points out, though, Daniel Bard's situation, coupled with the injuries to Franklin Morales and Craig Breslow, made it impossible for the Red Sox to pull the trigger on a trade. Aceves is simply too important to the team's bullpen right now, even if his behavior sometimes rubs people the wrong way. Aceves went 2-10 with a 5.36 ERA in 2012, but he proved to be a very important pitcher for the Sox the year before. The 30-year-old went 10-2 with a 2.61 ERA in 2011 while pitching for the club in various roles. A few teams had interest in Alfredo Aceves but Bard's situation coupled by injuries to Morales and breslow made a deal impossible— Nick Cafardo (@nickcafardo) March 31, 2013 Have a question for Ricky Doyle?

Meggie and Aidan find me where I'm waiting around the corner from the pub. It has started raining really heavily, and is washing away the dirt on my face and in my hair.
"You look different when you're clean," Meggie comments. Washing in the pub toilets hadn't been that effective. Half the taps hadn't worked and the ones that did hadn't been much more than a pitiful trickle of luke-warm water. Plus, the debris from the pub wall had settled on us in all the places it could.
"So do you," I respond. "And you," I add to Aidan, who does look slightly cleaner. I looke from one to the other quickly. I think they love each other, but there is something else that's like an awkwardness, but a familiar awkwardness. It doesn't make sense to me.
I nod across the street, where there are a lot of news reporters gathered near the virtually non-existent pub. God, those accents are starting to annoy me. Meggie rolls her eyes and we set off wondering the streets. We reach a shop which has televisions in the window. Meggie taps me and we stop to watch.
The newsreader, who is from Texas, is talking about tonight's events.
"A damaging explosion, following a, so far, misleading gunshot? Surely not a coincidence. These events have baffled most everybody. New reports tell that Erica Celestine, last living member of her family, in another attempt to take her own life, was witnessed to have copied her relatives with a gunshot to the head. She, however, has gone missing with no evidence as to where she is, along with Meggan Greene, (who was earlier kidnapped by teacher Aidan Bible). It is believed that Erica and Meggan then joined forces, creating an explosion to disguise their escape.
"These two young girls are now facing a criminal record and sentence in jail. Any leads or information about them will be greatly appreciated."
It then moves on to the scene of the incident, where a cheesy and annoying young woman is interviewing people who have nothing to do with it. Words across the bottom of the screen on a reel show a number to call if you have any information, and basically what has just been said.
Meggie, Aidan and I stand there in silence as the rain pours down around us.
I'm used to lies in news reports, etcetera, but I almost want to cry about this one. I have never even had one encounter with the police on my behalf, and now I'm facing prison? I'm wanted, just because the Americans believe everything they're told if it's exciting and makes good gossip.
"I'm wanted," Meggie echoes my thoughts in a strangled whisper.
I want to go back to England. Nobody judged me there. All I got was sympathy, though I didn't want it. But it's better than this.
"I'm going home," I mutter, blinking back tears as I walk away from Meggie and Aidan. I'm not sure how I'll do it. At thirteen, no disguise will pass you off as old enough to get on a plane, and there is no other way of getting from America to England.
They take a few seconds to register what I've just said, mixed up in their own shock and other emotions. But then Aidan catches up with me while Meggie watches the rest of the news.
"Erica," he puts a hand on my shoulder to stop me.
"What?" I snap, more harshly than I intended.
"Are you all right?"
"Do I look all right?" I have no idea where this bitterness has come from, but it flows from me like I've been using it all my life. "I'm thirteen, Aidan, and I'm facing a prison sentence. An American prison sentence, which means ten times longer than I would have got anywhere in England. All because of stupid bloody lies! I can't take it any more!"
He stares at me, amazed at my outburst. Meggie appears beside him.
"Erica..." she tries.
"No!" I yell. "It's all right for you, you've got each other. I have no-one. And that stupid woman was right about something. When she said 'another attempt to take her own life'. You don't know how many times I've tried. But no, I have to be f*cking immortal don't I?"
I storm away from them into the cold and rain, instantly regretting my words. They have problems too, and I know Meggie is in exactly the same boat I am, and I remember that the police are after Aidan as well, but I'm just so angry.
I don't know what they do after that, because I've switched off. I don't even feel the rain pelting me any more.
It's just like one big rain cloud over my life.

GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Packers tight end Jermichael Finley is on his way back to Green Bay due to the birth of a child and will miss Thursday night's preseason game in Cincinnati against the Bengals, according to his Twitter account. "A blessing has came into the world," Finley tweeted Thursday morning. "Sorry Fans. 88 is Heading back to GB from Cinny to take care of my Family. Family1st" Finley missed the Packers' first two preseason games due to a quadriceps injury but was expected to play Thursday after returning to practice earlier this week. This game is an opportunity for quarterback Aaron Rodgers and Green Bay's starting offense to play an entire half together in preparation for the regular season, which is 17 days away. The starters have played no more than one quarter in each of the first two preseason games, and the offense has struggled in the absence of Finley and Greg Jennings (concussion), who will get his first preseason action Thursday. With Finley unavailable, reserve tight ends such as D.J. Williams, Tom Crabtree and Ryan Taylor will get more opportunities with Rodgers and the first-team offense. Finley, 25, signed a two-year, 15 million contract extension with the Packers this offseason after setting a career best with 767 receiving yards and tying a career best with 55 catches in 2011.

Born in the USA! Our favourite State-side beauty heroes
The USA has given us many great things. Beyoncé. The Kardashians. Marc Jacobs. Krispy Kreme doughnuts. And Bradley Cooper. However, we think the best imports are of the beauty kind, so stock up on one of these fabulous American products today to celebrate their national holiday!
Benetint by Benefit, £24.50
What did we do BB – Before Benefit? This quirky cosmetics line was founded by twins, Jean and Jane Ford in 1976 and has since become a major player on the British beauty scene. In particular we love their much-copied Benetint, which brings a rosy, healthy glow to your cheeks and stays put.
8 Hour Cream by Elizabeth Arden, £26
Even though Elizabeth Arden was born in Canada, she started her beauty empire in America, opening her first Red Door salon in New York in 1910. She created her now legendary 8 hourcream in 1930 and it's since become a must in make-up bags everywhere thanks to its multi-tasking properties. Find it in this month's Pink Parcel and use it to moisturise lips, tame eyebrows or add a sheen to cheekbones.
Shimmer Brick by Bobbi Brown, £32.50
Not only do we love Bobbi's products but also her ideals – she created her range to enable "women who want to look like themselves only prettier and more confident". Her highlighter gives wearers a glow worthy of any A-lister, yet comes with a much more reasonable price tag. It's also available in a range of shades to suit all skin tones.
Baby Lips by Maybelline, £2.99
Proving that not all US imports have to break the bank, this lip balm achieved cult status before it reached our shores last year. Beauty editors used to stock up on these lovelies during trips to America and we can see why. For just £3, you get plumper, softer lips thanks to ingredients such as shea butter, vitamins, and centella. Each balm is also tinted so you can prettify your lips while protecting them! Some of you ay have tried this in last months Pink Parcel
Daily Microfoliant by Dermalogica, £14.95
The creator of this brand, Jane Wurwand, may have been born in the UK, but she launched Dermalogica in LA in 1986. Her aim was to create a skincare range that didn't contain lanolin, mineral oil, artificial fragrances, alcohol or artificial colours. The Microfoliant scrub is so gentle to skin that it can be used daily, and helps to make skin look brighter thanks to the unique rice-based enzyme powder and ingredients such as grapefruit and liquorice.

Blackberry Hollow Cabin
Privacy, seclusion, and the beautiful Shenandoah River! Cabin offers a private and secluded setting which caters to nature enthusiasts, river sport fanatics, and dog lovers! This custom home boasts spacious rooms, vaulted ceilings, gourmet kitchen, veggie and herb gardens, rose gardens, private back deck, full length screened front porch and a huge fenced dog yard. Enjoy 1+ acres of adjacent private river front---take the path from the cabin to private river access. River front is beautifully manicured with picnic table, firepit, sandy entrance to the river, and no neighbors to view on either side or across the river. Put up the family sized tent (for the kids) and make sure you end the evening doing a little star gazing with a fire in the 6 ft firepit. This retreat is 1/2 mile from the end of a 'dead-end' road. This quiet road is perfect for running, cycling, walking, and is part of the Old Dominion 50 mile horse endurance ride.
Area Surroundings: River frontage is on the South Fork of the Shenandoah. Bird watching is popular here with hundreds of local bird varieties to view---including eagles which are nesting along the river. Shenandoah Outfitters are just up the road 15 minutes from the cabin where you can rent canoes, kayaks, and go tubing down the river. Also, several local hikes are just minutes from here--Indian Grave Ridge and Compton Falls approximately 2 1/2 miles from here. The area has several attractions to visit while you are enjoying your stay with us. The Shenandoah Valley features picture-postcard farms and beautiful scenery along country roads and the popular Skyline Drive and Blue Ridge Parkway. If you're interested in the great outdoors, you'll love the hiking trails and horseback riding in the Blue Ridge Mountains. And don't forget the beautiful Shenandoah National Park with its portion of the Appalachian Trail. Whether your trip is action packed or more relaxed, every moment in the Shenandoah Valley is a breath of fresh air!

My husband & I stayed at Blackberry Hollow Cabin for a long weekend & it was wonderful. Diana (the owner) was extremely nice & professional in all of her emails & she made sure that we knew what to bring, what was provided, etc.
The cabin sits on a nice piece of property & it had plenty of room for our dog to run around. Having 2 fenced in areas was great & it made things very easy for us when it came to taking him out, playing ball, etc. The cabin has a very homey feel to it & it's very clean & well maintained. The kitchen has everything you need to cook great meals plus there's the gas grill on the back deck. The couches & beds were comfy & there were plenty of extra pillows & blankets if you needed them. There was a nice selections of movies, books & cd's around the cabin plus the owner has a binder full of ideas of things to do around the Luray area. The front porch is awesome. We spent the mornings out there drinking coffee, reading & listening to the birds & cicadas. It was very peaceful & one of our favorite spots to relax.
We spent some time down by the river & watched groups of people canoeing by. There's a nice picnic table & fire pit & lots of open area to hang out at.
Like others including the owner suggest, it's best to get all of your supplies before getting to the cabin. It is about a 1/2 hour from town & the 9 1/2 miles of dirt road does take a little while to drive down. The road is well maintained but you do need to take it slow as there are the occasional potholes you need to avoid.
We can't wait to return for another stay & would recommend this cabin to anyone looking for a great place to stay in the Luray area.
A cabin on the outside and a home inside. The best of both worlds. We had rain for about 80% of our trip. The house had everything we needed to keep us all occupied. We cooked all our meals at the house and did laundry. Diana was a wonderful host and called to make sure we were doing ok. Any emails with questions I sent here were answered right away during our stay. The only downfall of the house is that it takes about 30 minutes to get back on a main road so if you have kids prepare them for that. You can avoid the "Are we there yet" billion questions. With all the rain and the dirt roads our car was a mess. But that can be fixed with a car wash. Would recommend, especially if you have pets.
What a delightful cabin! It is at the end of a long dirt/gravel road, which is hard packed and well maintained, and therefore not difficult to drive. It is secluded and very private, with a large dog pen in the front yard, and a smaller pen behind the house, which is accessed from the utility room, and therefore very convenient. Our medium-sized dog was also delighted with the low windows, which allowed her to see the yard at all times.
The king bed is very comfortable, and the bathroom is exceptionally nice for a rental. It has two double sinks, a shower, and a nice claw foot soaking tub. The kitchen is unbelievably well-appointed. The pots and pans are good quality. There are plenty of nice dishes, glasses, and mugs. The small appliances include a crockpot, mixer, blender, immersion blender, toaster, microwave/convection oven, coffeemaker, and others I may have missed. The electric stove is bettter than most. There are a few spices/herbs in the cabinet.... enough to to get by, for sure.
The only drawback is the distance to town. Not a problem, but you want to make sure you have everything you need before you arrive.
Would have been a 3 star if priced at $100 a nite. You have to cross Page Valley Road to get to River. When you get there, the sounds of Rt 340 are even more noticeable than at the cabin. There are cabins and trailers all over, so this place is not that secluded. The house itself has a hodge podge of furnishings and wall hangings. All interesting, but odd. ...again, $100 a nite would be the correct rate. You can only get a sense of the mountains on your drive in and out, not while you are in cabin. The landscaping is somewhat interesting. Since we did not have dogs, we could not verify the other reviews that claimed 'their dogs really loved the place".
Blackberry Hollow is a beautiful and comfortable home!! It is a cabin only by name. My wife and I have stayed at cabins before and they were nothing compared to this!! The house is beautifully and tastefully decorated. It is well furnished and very clean. Diana was wonderful to work with and was very accommodating to our questions and needs. The house is ultra dog friendly!!
From the fenced in side yard to the fenced in area off the deck in the back of the house it was very easy to have our dog off leash. It was so nice to barbecue and have our dog join us without any worries. Our dog Koda loved running around the yard and down by the river.
He was a frequent swimmer in the river and enjoyed fetching the sticks that came floating by.
We felt very much at home there and were so surprised at how comfortable Koda was also.
From the nightly barbecues on the rear deck to the coffee and dessert on the screened in front porch we were amazed at how beautiful and peaceful our stay was!!
If we find ourselves travelling to the area in the future we will be sure to contact Diana as our first choice of lodging!
I highly recommend Blackberry Hollow to anyone looking for a clean, comfortable and peaceful vacation!! And be sure to bring your dog!!
Thanks again Diana for a wonderful stay!!
My wife and I stayed at Blackberry Hollow Cabin along with our two dogs. The cabin felt like we were home. Extremely clean, very well organized and maintained. First, Diana is a superb host, from the moment we contacted her she was responsive, and genuinely wants her guests to have a comfortable stay. She answered all of our questions and exceeded our expectations. The cabin is fully stocked and very comfortable and cozy. The cabin is perfect for your dog and the fenced in dog pen was a blessing. If you like to grill, it has very nice BBQ in the rear deck where you can relax and have the dogs out in the fenced in area in the back. We highly recommend this cabin and we will definitely return! Thank you Diana, you are the perfect host!

A year ago, when I took office in the midst of the worst recession since the Great Depression, I promised you two things. The first was that there would be better days ahead. And the second was that the road to recovery would be long, and sometimes bumpy.
That was brought home again yesterday. We learned that in November, our economy saw its first month of job gains in nearly two years – but last month, we lost more than we gained. Now, we know that no single month makes a trend, and job losses for the final quarter of 2009 were one-tenth what they were in the first quarter. But until we see a trend of sustainable job creation, we will be relentless in our efforts to put America back to work.
That task goes even deeper than replacing the seven million jobs that have been lost over the past two years. We need to rebuild our economy in such a way that our families can feel a measure of security again. Too many of the folks I've talked with this year, and whose stories I read in letters at night, tell me that they've known their own private recessions since long before economists declared one – and they'll still feel the recession long after economists have declared it over.
That's because, for decades, Washington avoided doing what was right in favour of doing what was easy. And the result was an economy where some made out well, but the middle class too often took a beating.
Over the past decade, the income of the average household actually declined, and we lost as many jobs as we created. Hardworking folks who did everything right suddenly found themselves forced to downscale their dreams because of economic factors beyond their control. We're talking about simple dreams. American dreams. A good job with a good wage. A secure and dignified retirement. Stable healthcare so you don't go broke just because you get sick. The chance to give our kids a better shot than we got.
That's why, as we begin to emerge from this crisis, we will not return to the complacency that helped cause it. Even as we focus on putting America back to work today, we're building a new foundation for our economy to create the good, lasting jobs and shared prosperity of tomorrow.

House of Drama
Drama, drama, drama,
Oozing from your every pore,
Spilling out the houses walls,
Seeping into the floors,
That I had once crawled,
A smaller, younger, innocent, me,
And sometimes I laugh, since you labeled ME the drama queen.
The label, echoes in my mind,
At every laugh, every cry, and every sigh,
Haunts my world, and drips into yours, to which is my drama,
You weep, yell, scream, whine,
And I want to scream " I GOT YA!"
All the lies you told me, to keep the past in the past,
Have speeded up, making itself present,
So all the questions I asked,
Have come back, traveling through time,
So you resent me,
Since my father was one of the many crimes,
On my record.
You show yourself so weak,
So I turn the other cheek,
But I know,
That YOU are in fact,
The drama queen.

Jon, meet Jon.
That's Busch vs. Conway as the San Jose Earthquakes host the Chicago Fire in a U.S. Open Cup play-in match tonight that will give one of these clubs an automatic berth into the tournament proper. And as with most USOC single elimination matches, the goalkeepers – Busch a former Fire netminder and Conway a former Quakes player – will be at the center of the action at Buck Shaw.
The match will be available via live audio stream at sjearthquakes.com/usocradio beginning at 10:30 p.m. ET.
Portland's Eric Brunner knows a thing or two about sticking it to his old team. And for those who are still not convinced that Brunner was in an offside position for his goal against his ex-club, the Columbus Crew, here is the proof.
While Brunner may have punished fans from his hometown, his teammate in Portland, Jack Jewsbury, is trying to help his own. The native of Joplin, Mo. saw the city he grew up in become a ghost town after a tornado struck. Now he's working on a drive to collect donations.
The big news story has been the Joplin tornado. The biggest soccer news was the naming of the USA's CONCACAF Gold Cup roster. The NY Red Bulls' 18-year-old Juan Agudelo was genuinely concerned that he'd be on the outside looking in: "Every time I'd sit on the bench I'd be worried Bob would maybe see it that way."
No controversy or debate about Red Bull Teemu Tainio's international status. He has told Finnish media outlets that he is retiring from international duty and wants to give space to younger players. (FINNISH)
While the Red Bulls will be missing their starting central defenders to international duty, Real Salt Lake are already without their two starting forwards from last weekend: Álvaro Saborío and Arturo Alvarez. This could explain why Fabian Espindola has not been used in recent matches.
Canadian national team midfielders Terry Dunfield and Julian de Guzman will not only be competing for the Nutrilite Canadian Championship but also for playing time at the CONCACAF Gold Cup when they do battle in midfield on Wednesday night at BMO Field.
The Whitecaps should have the edge in the second leg final. They had a bye weekend in MLS play and players enjoyed three days off. Manager Teitur Thordarson: "It definitely should be a physical advantage."
In Houston there is continued debate regarding the Dynamo's personnel as the club faces a critical week of matches against MLS Cup contenders LA Galaxy and FC Dallas. Some of the questions: Should Geoff Cameron be a holding midfielder or center back? Should Koke be a starting forward?
Find out which European stadiums Dynamo executives visited to garner ideas for the club's new stadium that is being constructed in Houston.
The Dynamo are also reportedly busy on the transfer market. From Scotland they say that the team has made an improved offer to Scottish forward Derek Riordan with a decision expected in short order.
You would think that the man who transferred Javier "Chicharito" Hernandez to Manchester United for $10 million would not be looking back at the move as a great deal one year later. But Chivas Guadalajara and Chivas USA part owner Jorge Vergara says "someone always makes the last buck" and he stands by his statement that Chicharito will become the best player in the world.
In televised action, you can watch LA Galaxy designated player David Beckham wear a Manchester United shirt again as the squad from the late 90s gets back together again to honor Gary Neville's retirement in a testimonial match against Italy's Juventus (2:30 p.m. ET, Fox Soccer Channel and Fox Deportes).
At the same time there's also the battle between the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland (3 p.m. ET, ESPNDeportes).
Today is a travel day for FC Barcelona as they head to London ahead of time to avoid delays due to the volcanic ash cloud heading toward southern Europe. They face Manchester United in the UEFA Champions League final on Saturday.
Back in the USA, with the rise of high level academy clubs around the country, many elite youth players are now forgoing the opportunity to play for their high school teams to balance their schedule. And it's making for a heated discussion topic in youth soccer circles.
It's not always about the kids. Seattle goalkeeper Kasey Keller admits that youngsters are always asking him for his gloves at autograph sessions and he has to decline most every time: "Sorry, they feel too good, so I'm not giving them away yet."
One of Keller's long-time national team rivals, Brad Friedel, seems set to sign a new two-year deal with a club not named Aston Villa. The rumors are turning out to be true in this case.
Finally, players need to be careful when interacting with fans. Watch the slap in the face suffered by Schalke goalkeeper Manuel Neuer along his team's German Cup victory celebration route. He's a local boy who is leaving the club this summer to go to a bigger team with Bayern Munich being the likely destination. (VIDEO)

Syed Ahmed, perhaps the most controversial contestant on the BBC reality TV series The Apprentice, has spoken for the first time about his plans to marry fellow contestant Michelle Dewberry, who recently revealed she is pregnant.
Ms Dewberry, who went on to win the popular TV series and land the coveted £100,000-a-year job with the business tycoon Sir Alan Sugar, should be settling into her new position. But instead she is nervously awaiting Sir Alan's return from a summer holiday on his yacht, to learn her fate.
However, Mr Ahmed, 32, said he and Ms Dewsberry were very happy and very much together - also revealing that they hoped to marry. He added that Ms Dewberry, 26, nicknamed "The Blonde" by the tabloid press, was considering converting to Islam.
"It took a while for us both to adjust to the situation but I am now absolutely clear about what I want," said Mr Ahmed. "I am in love with Michelle and want to marry her. I am thrilled and excited at the prospect of becoming a father. And I want to marry Michelle as soon as I can - before the baby is born if possible."
The couple's relationship shocked millions of fans when it was revealed shortly after the The Apprentice finished its 12-week run in May. While Ms Dewberry was viewed as something of a golden girl, Mr Ahmed was portrayed as a pantomime villain, and subsequently referred to simply as "the cocky one".
A spokesman for Sir Alan refused to comment.Reuse content

Gone - Poem by Taryn Lempa
I trace the lines around the corners of your lips with my eyes,
Thankful that you were blessed to experience so much joy.
I feel your stiff arms reach out to wrap around my shoulders,
And I wonder just how many times these arms have shown such love.
I hum my new guitar song and you ask what I'm singing,
So I got to thinking about all the beautiful music that your ears have heard.
I help you bake your famous strawberry rhubarb pie to taste a bite of heaven,
Your tongue has tasted so much food made with love throughout the years.
I garden with you and notice the thin skin stretched across your hands,
The amount of hard work that has been conquered amazes me.
I look into your grey and blue eyes and wonder how much more life they hold.
Incredibly blessed to have had you for all these years,
But so deeply saddened to know that you will soon be gone.

Carol Vorderman shot to fame handling vowels, consonants and numbers on Countdown – but apparently that's not all she's been known to handle.
The former Countown co-host raised eyebrows on Thursday when a series of explicit tweets appeared on her Twitter page, teasing her followers with the promise of a 'hairy' sex tape – and people went crazy.
I mean, she was once named Rear of the Year so it's understandable that fans were eager to see a raunchy film release.
In now-deleted tweets, she wrote:
Hey guys, just want to let you know, there might be a story in tomorrow's papers about me #regretfrommyyouth #vhs #betamax?"
Is it illegal for someone to release private videos of you from your past? @robkardashian #hairypast #XXX #bringbackbush
I want to release it before the papers do. You're going to see my 'Consonant Vowel Consonant Consonant' #TwofromtheTopOnefromthebottom.
A Voderman sex tape? Really?
Well, it turns out no.
The tweets were actually a part of a prank for Carol's forthcoming appearance on the panel show 'Safeword' – April Fools', everyone.
She's since taken to Twitter to explain:
If you've noticed strange activity today those messages weren't me! I've been hacked for @itv2safeword Series 2 coming back v soon to ITV2
— Carol Vorderman MBE (@carolvorders) March 31, 2016
Oh gawd….so sorry…..was appearing on Safeword #tvshow for ITV and you win points by letting them tweet things on your behalf….Sorry x
— Carol Vorderman MBE (@carolvorders) March 31, 2016
But also thanks so much to all of you for supporting me…they read out some of the replies on air….very funny. #SafeWord #itv x
— Carol Vorderman MBE (@carolvorders) March 31, 2016
Sorry, everyone.

OH, right Year of the Horse! I forgot because...well, both of its big toys strike me as forgettable. Starscream's shown up at 2 of the 3 closest TRUs to me in MI, so it's about time for Op, who seems to be more eagerly anticipated.

Day 4: Leaving the Nest
... and cousins playing together with Trife, Calla and Lucas (dogs) in backyards and driveways. Although the Canadian lifestyle doesn't necessarily condone living right next door to your parents, I do hope to take some lessons from this way of life into my own family's upbringing in the future. The door is always open at the Aratavias and we look forward to returning the favour in Canada one day! Part B: Today was travel day. We spent what we were told would be 4-5 hours ...
Day one: the adventure begins
... Right now, we have 2 and a half hours before we need to meet for dinner. After dinner, we're taking a spanish dance class! That should be fun. Oh! I almost forgot. The 25 of us stick out like sore thumbs. We're literally the only people in shorts and T-shirts. Everyone else is wearing jeans and long sleeves! It's like 80 degrees! The other interesting thing about their culture is that they have McDonalds everywhere, but they sell different things. ...
No pancakes, no parades, no beads.

At Manos, it was wheelchair-palooza. The students did some amazing MacGuyver moves to position patients in their chairs as well as to adjust the wheelchair parts to make the chair actually fit the patient. It was great to see all the girls not be afraid of tools, and not be afraid of getting a little dirty or greasy. They were pleased with their results, and the patients looked 100% better after ...

He and I spent the next 30 minutes conversing in what can only be described as broken Spanglish, as he went out of his way to help us find some way to celebrate. He called several bars and restaurants, all of which were closed or at maximum capacity for the evening. We decided to drive toward downtown San Jose ...

River: Danger for TwoMature
The Doctor took my hand and led me off, away from the youngsters. We walked for a while along the beach until he suddenly stopped. He pulled a scarf out of his pocket and handed it to me.
"What's this for?" I asked innocently.
"Blindfold." he grunted as he sifted through his pocket for something else. He snapped his hand out, a mousetrap clamped over his fingers. He pulled it off and dropped in in one of his inside pockets.
"Why?" I asked. "Just why?"
"Don't you have trouble with mice in your pockets?" he asked plainly.
"Mine aren't dimensionally transcendental." I explained simply, putting the scarf over my eyes. I decided not to ask why as he tied it in place.
"Come on." he instructed before walking off. I stood there, trying to figure out which way to go. I knew that I should have taken my surroundings in before I put it on. I followed what I thought was his voice until my feet got wet.
"This way!" he yelled, his feet dashing across the sand. Trust him.
"I'm going to need your help." I said, stretching my arms out. I felt someone, hopefully him take them and direct me. "Are you going to explain whats going on?"
"I rang ahead." he muttered. I assumed he was grinning his usual boyish grin but I couldn't tell.
We stopped. "So that's the last minute detour you and only you could make?" He must have nodded since he didn't say anything else. "Can I take this off now?"
He nodded again. I swear he does it just to annoy me. I pulled the scarf away from my eyes and was surprised to see a table located on the beach. It was a small table, just for the two of us. He had prepared us a lovely romantic meal. "Tada!" he yelled.
"You didn't have to." I muttered.
"But you deserve it." He grinned at me before offering me a seat.
"Nice surprise." I said as I surveyed the area - we were all alone. "What's the catch?"
He eyed me suspiciously. "Why do you think there's a catch?"
"You; that's why."
"Well there isn't. Just the two of us and some dinner. You do eat right?" I looked at him and shook my head. "Oh." he said, downtrodden. I winked at him before I caught sight of something out of the corner of my eye. I turned in my chair to see a meteor flying towards the planet.
"Is that why?" I asked as I turned back to him. He had already started eating. I wanted to laugh and smile at his cuteness but it wasn't the time.
"What?" he asked after swallowing. He wiped his mouth with a napkin as he looked to the flying rock.
"You got us here just to stop that thing didn't you?" I shouted. I was annoyed and angry. How could he have done that to us?
"I didn't know anything about that." he muttered softly, his eyes glued to it. There was something there, something he was trying to hide from me; fear.
"Are we safe?" I asked, grabbing him by the shoulders. He looked at me and shook his head.
"We've got to get to the ship!" he declared, grabbing my hand and running across the beach. We both looked up into the sky to see how far away it was but it was too close. We both knew that we didn't stand a chance of getting there in time but we kept on running.
It was about to crash into the planet so I stopped. The Doctor turned sharply to look at me. I dashed over to him and pulled him into one final kiss before the chaos enveloped us.

I would recommend Dr. Griffith and his staff to anyone. I started using them with my 3rd child after using many doctors with my other children. Their concern for children is overwhelming, they are sensitive to your needs as well as your childs. The hours are great, they are open 7 days a week and it is a first come first to be seen basis unless it's an emergency. You are never turned away because they don't have any more appointments left. I will never use any other doctors with my children.
