And she fell in love. As you do. I know I love this fabric line. It's going to be a wrench to cut into it. But it will be going to a good home. I need to buy some more of the oranges and blacks to round out the colour scheme. Yes, I am buying more fabric! I can't help myself! I try, I really do.

Sarah's Wedding Quilt
And she fell in love. As you do. I know I love this fabric line. It's going to be a wrench to cut into it. But it will be going to a good home. I need to buy some more of the oranges and blacks to round out the colour scheme. Yes, I am buying more fabric! I can't help myself! I try, I really do.

Oh, look how fabulous this is going to be! I really like the Arkansas Traveler blocks. So nice! And in Comma? Swoon! So divine.ReplyDeleteReplies
I've seent he Arkansas Traveller before (fleetingly) and thought it was really cute, and once I decided that this was what I wanted to make for Sarah, I've seen it EVERYWHERE! I still love it though :-) I think this is going to look really nice.Delete

Oh wow what a wonderful project and it looks like it's going to be an awesome quilt! Best of luck with it and great fabric choices, I love Comma :-)ReplyDeleteReplies
I love Comma. I'm a little jealous that she's going to get this actually. I wanted to keep all the comma to myself. But at least I feel confident that she's going to end up with somethign beautiful.Delete

Arkansas traveller blocks are a lot of fun to make! Are you going to do the version with one fabric per diamond, or four fabrics per? And did you add the block in the middle, because I don't remember that being there. :) I just made them for a bee last month. :D Yay!! I really love paper-piecing, this is going to be GORGEOUS.ReplyDeleteReplies
I think I'm going to go four fabrics per diamond. I think if I did one fabric per diamond, the block would end up looking a little weird. Unless I did one fabric per block, but then I think I'd miss out on all the comma joy :-)Delete
I did put the block in the middle, coz I couldn't make my graph paper work with the angles without it. I'm planning on doing the block properly though (although I think I'm going to file the idea I drew out away for future use. HSTs will be simpler then paper peicing!)

love your sketch and the fabrics chosen, it's going to be gorgeous :DReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks, Chrissie. It's amazing how addictive graph paper and colour pencils are. I just want to draw out patterns. Not because I need to, but just so I can play :-)Delete

Your sketch looks fantastic, i can't wait to see this come together!ReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks so much. I can't take too much credit, becasue I'm really following the pattern, but I'm hopeful it will work well.Delete
I'm still working out how to make email reply's work, but I promise I read every one and will reply by email or on the blog.

The Welsh Springer Spaniel was originally developed as a gundog and was mainly used to flush and spring game in the field. Nowadays besides the fact he still is an excellent gundog he is also a great family dog. The average height of a Welsh Springer Spaniel is 1 foot, 5 inches to 1 foot, 7 inches weighing about 35 to 55 pounds. They have a lifespan of 10 to 15 years.
Originally developed to be a skilled gun dog the Welsh Springer Spaniel makes nowadays a great family companion as well as a great hunting companion. He is very active, affectionate, loyal, gentle, loving and very devoted to his master and his family. The Welsh Springer Spaniel loves all the energy demanding activities like fly-ball, Frisbee, running, swimming and many others. If he is left alone more than a few hours a day he can become bored and might become very loud and destructive. The Welsh Springer Spaniel is a great watchdog because he is very reserved with strangers and will always let you know when a stranger is approaching your property. He is known to behave well when children are around but very small children should always be well supervised when they encounter any type of dog breed because they might have the tendency to tease and no dog will accept that. Obedience training and early socialization are very important in this case and can make a big difference if you want to have an obedient dog.
Welsh Springer Spaniel Training:
Welsh Springer Spaniel is a very intelligent dog breed. They can learn new commands very quickly which makes them quite easy to train. Usually they enjoy any type of activity so basic training should not be a problem for them. In fact it can be something that they will really enjoy.
Welsh Springer Spaniel Shedding:
To be honest, the Welsh Springer Spaniel is shedding a lot of hair. You cannot do anything to stop this but if you want to prevent having hair all over your home you should do proper brushing every day. Keep in mind that with a proper brushing you will rarely find hair on your couch, carpets and other places in your home.
Welsh Springer Spaniel Grooming:
The Welsh Springer Spaniel, like many other dog breeds, need daily exercise. Don't worry, those needs can be met quite easy with simple walks or playing some fun games. His coat needs to be shaped two or three months and proper brushing should be done every now and then.
Welsh Springer Spaniel History:
The Welsh Springer Spaniel was originally developed as a skilled gundog used to flush different types of game in the field. There are two categories of spaniels: water spaniels and land spaniels. The Welsh Springer Spaniel is considered to be a land spaniel and he used to be the favorite hunting dog of nobility in the 17th century.

TMZ recently reported Selena Gomez makes $11,000 per show for The Wizards of Waverly Place. Believe it or not, Miley Cyrus makes little more for the fourth season of Hannah Montana.
Cyrus had a fabulous 2009. She had her book, Miles to Go. She filmed The Last Song and had the Hannah Montana movie.
She released three albums – Hannah Montana movie soundtrack, The Time of Our Lives and Hannah Montana 3. Each sold extremely well and placed millions in her pocket.
Her biggest $$$ maker in 2009 was the Wonder World tour with 45 dates that netted $1-million per show, not including the T-shirt and show items sales.
Let's be generous at
Hilary Duff Miley Cyrus' financial outlook for 2010. She has a few movie projects in the offering, but nothing concrete. She is currently filming the final season of Hannah Montana, 26 episodes that ends filming in March. Let's be generous - $600,000 for those 26 episodes. No CD in the offering, but it would be foolish of Disney not to offer one last Hannah Montana soundtrack, like they did with the Lizzie McGuire movie that sent Hilary Duff into career oblivion.
Cyrus may be filming Wings this year, but IMDB lists the project in development and no filming announced.
She has royalties from all her past material, and she may even make some $$$ from The Last Song, if it breaks even. There will also be a soundtrack from that movie. That appears to be it for Cyrus for 2010.
Again, being generous, from royalties and the Walmart revenue – if there is any residuals from that – she's making another $600,000 for the year. That equates to roughly $3,500 per day. Going to be rough, how is she going to live off that? Seems the economy is bad in Disney universe like everywhere else.

Parenting becomes more transparent these summer months; constant in its immediacy, variety, complexity, and beauty.
I wake from the nights of heavy heat with prickly skin, hair matted to my scalp. Conversations waft down to the kitchen as I make breakfast.
"Guess what we're having for breakfast? It starts with a 'P.' And the 'P' is silent."
"The silent P was a decoy! We're having pancakes."
One of them heads off with a friend to play mini-golf, the other to a pool party. I drop one off for the night; bring another here.
We subsist on salads. The night after inhaling rich, caramelized carrots balanced with peppery arugula, I dreamed about meeting Melissa Clark, author of the cookbook from whence it came.
We end our days with something along the lines of Capture the Flag and rhubarb crisp, and then everyone generally gets to bed without fuss. As I make my nightly rounds, I'm surprised at how much older Abbott has started to look when he sleeps.
Honey-Roasted Carrot Salad
adapted slightly from Cook this Now by Melissa Clark
1 pound carrots (about 5 medium), trimmed, peeled, and sliced into ½-inch rounds
1 ½ tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
½ teaspoon plus 1 large pinch kosher salt
¼ teaspoon pepper
2 teaspoons honey
¼ cup sliced almonds
2 bunches arugula (about 8 cups)
For the vinaigrette:
1 ½ teaspoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
½ teaspoon kosher salt
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
Preheat the oven to 400F. Toss the carrots with the 1 ½ tablespoons olive oil, ½ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon pepper, and then distribute them evenly on a baking sheet. Roast for about 25 minutes, or until the carrots are carmelized and tender, stirring occasionally.
While the carrots are roasting, whisk together the honey, remaining 2 teaspoons olive oil, 1 teaspoon water, and a large pinch of kosher salt. Toss the almonds with 1 ½ teaspoons of the honey mixture and spread them on a small baking sheet.
Transfer the almonds to the oven, and then pour the remaining honey mixture over the carrots. Roast until the nuts are dark golden, about 5 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool completely.
To make the vinaigrette, whisk together the lemon juice, salt, and pepper, and then whisk in the oil until incorporated.
Place the arugula in a large bowl with the carrots and almonds. Drizzle with the vinaigrette, toss, and serve.
Yield: 4 servings

Batteryless 'Light-Powered' Radiometer
The Radiometer is a device that spins when it is placed in light. This device, invented back in 1873, still entertains adults and children today, as the vanes within the light bulb shaped dome spin. The spinning of the vanes gives the devices its other name, the light mill.

A few months ago I had to fill out a Pre-Evaluation Worksheet at my place of employment. Those things are awful. I fill one out, my boss fills one out, and we hope our answers meet somewhere in the middle. It's chock-full of uncomfortable questions. ("What can your chain of command do to assist you more effectively?" Right. I'm gonna criticize my superiors, in writing, in a document that stays in my personnel file for 5 years.) There's also a horrible fill-in-the-blank section. One of the sentences there is: "I am better than anyone else at ____________________." My first impulse was to fill in the blank with the word "procrastination". Honest, but probably not conducive to a raise. In support of the assertion that I am better (actually, worse) than anyone else at procrastination, I offer this:
My dryer stopped heating about 20 months ago. It stopped working altogether about 16 months ago. Today it was finally repaired. I did nothing whatsoever towards that end--it was Charlie who called the repairman on Friday.
Twenty months. Almost two years. It took the repairman less than an hour to fix the dryer. First he put an electrical thingy (a voltimeter?) on the dryer and determined it was getting only 110 current, not the 220 it needed to work. We ventured into the basement and discovered that half the breaker for the dryer was tripped. I felt sorta stupid for not noticing this myself, but the repairman said that the switch was only a wee bit away from the ON position, so it wasn't obvious. He reset the breaker and the dryer came on, but it still wouldn't heat. The thermal fuse was blown. He replaced that, turned on the dryer, and it worked beautifully. In celebration, I put my jammies in the dryer to heat 'em up and then ran and jumped into bed before they cooled off. (After the repairman left, of course.) It was quite lovely. Even though, since it was almost 50 degrees this morning, that wasn't really necessary.
The first step towards recovery is admitting that you have a problem.
"Hi, my name's Jaynie, and I am a procrastinator."

text: So, I have been away from the Wii scene for a while but recently got back into it because my WBFS partition decided to spontaneously corrupt ~half my games lol. Anyways, after repartitioning my drive as FAT32 and re-ripping my games, I decided to play around with VC games. I currently have been using TriiForce MRC and cIOS d2x v7final, and HOLY !&%# the compatibility is bad! Almost every N64 VC game I tried to boot up (emuNAND is on my FAT32 HDD) froze after the "you need a classic controller" screen. I remember waaaaaay back everyone was using Waninkoko's cIOS rev17 to use emulated NAND with WiiWare, but I thought d2x fixed all that stuff? So what I'm really trying to ask is what I should do play my precious N64 VC? Will updating/switching any of my stuff help? (i.e. Switching from TriiForce MRC --> Mighty Channels, updating to d2x v8/v9beta, etc.) Or is the only hope installing the bad games to my real NAND? :/

Maggie: A Girl of the Streets is a ground-breaking novel relating to the precarious state of women in the new industrial world at the end of the 19th century. One blemish on a reputation, and a woman would often be banned from her house, subject to earning her living on the streets, and often dying young, as Maggie does. The irony is that Maggie has two abusive parents, the father who dies early in the novel, and the mother who hurls her out, with much fussing and lamenting about "all she has done" for Maggie.
Crane's irony builds from the beginning through Maggie's brother, who is upset his friend debauched Maggie and got her pregnant. The turning point is in Jimmy, who starts to realize that he has done the same to other brothers' sisters. It is the early realization of this behavior that makes the most interesting psychological impact on the novel.
As always, Maggie contains the beautiful word paintings of Crane. As Maggie descends towards her doom each successive bar/entertainment place Maggie is taken to becomes increasingly bawdy and unappealing. Maggie preserves what order there is in the family home, nurses her mother, but that does not protect her position in the end, when she gets hurled out.
This is one of the most moving stories in American literature. If this novel doesn't break your heart a little, no novel will. In our mind, Maggie is the equal of Crane's more famous work, The Red Badge of Courage, which depicts war with a candor similar to the depiction of the tenements and people of the Bowery in New York. A must read for all students of American literature and a wonderful one for the rest of us.
Public Domain (P)2010 Christina Brown
The story was assigned for my American Lit. class and it was so much more enjoyable reading the actual book than having to listen to this guy's terrible performance. Unlike other books I've downloaded, the narration is monotone and boring. He did this great story a huge disservice.
I enjoyed the story, but the narrator sounds listless and boring.
I would not want another Deaver Brown performance if he sounds as dead as he sounds in Maggie.
"I love the book, but the reading was terrible."
I love Stephen Crane, but this reader was terrible. It was monotone and read in a way that was difficult to understand at times. The reader sounded bored. There were places where I think tracks were fused and words were lost.
"Not recomended"
The reader is horrible. Usually I still listen, but this was bad. I didn't make it past 5 minutes. Very monotone, no pacing. It was like he just wanted to get it over with and was annoyed he had to read it.
"Horrible Reading"
I'll admit first that I didn't listen to the sample because I assumed Audible had only high-quality audiobook selection. Now I know better. The reading of this book was at times painful as the narrator stumbled over the words, paused at awkward times, had background noise (a phone rang and a creaky door shut were the most notable), and read with little emphasis or tone. Disappointed I spent money on this track.
"Terrible narrator"
Based on this book, I might not read any other books from this author.
Probably not. The story is hard to follow and concentrate on due to the language and dialogue between the characters.
The narrator was terrible and made several mistakes when reading. He replaced words several times/said the wrong thing and would not read fluently. He also made it overall boring.
It's hard to say what character I would cut; in my opinion everything was quite boring.
Please find a new narrator. This narrator was terrible and makes it not worth the price.
"Decent Story; Poor Narration at Times"
It sounded as if the narrator had never before read through the play. He tripped over words more often than I've ever heard.
"Horrible reader"
The reader sounds sooo board that I became bored, too.
Women could easily become "fallen" women.

Response from Faith McCrea, Service Manager, Emergency & Medical Services, Wishaw General Hospital about a year and a half ago
Dear Fumfer
Thank you very much for getting in touch and for your comments in relation to the care your mother received whilst an inpatient here at Wishaw General Hospital, and indeed at such a worrying time for you and your family. I indeed hope that your mother is recovering well and her health will continue to improve.
I am sorry to hear of the issues that you encountered in The Emergency Care Unit and I apologise to you and your mother. I am however pleased that you were happy with the care delivered to your mother when she was transferred to Ward 8.
I will ensure that your comments are fed back to both clinical areas, so that we can take learning from your experience and ensure improvements, as well as feedback your positive comments to the staff in Ward 8. I have no doubt they will be delighted.
Thank you once again and best wishes to your mother

IT is a biting-cold Friday morning in a small, overheated apartment in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn. Eight-year-old Sheria Mattis pulls on a pair of blue jeans that she decorated the night before with multicolored Magic Markers and neon Band-Aids. On Fridays, her mother lets her wear whatever she wants to school.
"You look beautiful," says her mother, Velma Stoner, stifling a smile as Sheria parades her outfit. But Ms. Stoner cannot help asking, "Why do you want to wear that?"
I'm expressing myself," Sheria answers matter-of-factly. "This is my creativity."
There are days when Ms. Stoner feels as if her daughter is difficult to fathom. Days when she catches Sheria staring at herself in the mirror, spending hours in the bathroom buried in an abbreviated version of "Romeo and Juliet," using words Ms. Stoner did not even know her daughter knew. Like oxymoron.
"Sometimes I wonder about her," said Ms. Stoner. "She's very eccentric."
Ms. Stoner sees that her daughter is a dreamer. And she wants to make sure that nothing gets in the way. "She's so simple," Ms. Stoner said. "Everything about her is pure."
But aiming high can be difficult. Sheria attends the only school in the district devoted almost exclusively to gifted children, P.S. 308. Among other children her age -- even those who have tested above a certain level in order to be admitted to P.S. 308 -- Sheria's intellect can be isolating, cloaking her in a sense of otherness, inviting occasional ridicule.Continue reading the main story
Some of her peers call her "teacher's pet" because she always does the optional homework or "nerd-girl" because she always raises her hand. Just the other day on the way into science class, one student snickered as Sheria passed by, saying, "After you, Shakespeare."
And they occasionally make fun of the way she speaks.
"They say I talk Caucasian," said Sheria. "I really just speak properly. If they don't speak that way, it's because of the environment they live in."
Ms. Stoner, 38, says she is frequently "deprogramming and reprogramming" Sheria -- wanting her to respect and feel comfortable in the community she comes from, but also to rise above it. She says these dual loyalties necessitate something of a double life, that she and Sheria are constantly moving back and forth between two clashing worlds and two opposing desires: standing out and fitting in.
"I'm playing two roles here -- I feel schizophrenic sometimes," Ms. Stoner said. "I want her to be a regular kid. I want her to be able to live with the people around her. At the same time, I want her to know other things."
Ms. Stoner has tried to give Sheria a way to conceptualize her distinctness more as a blessing than a burden. "She says to me that she feels like she's different," Ms. Stoner said. "I said, 'Different how?'
And she said, 'The kids tell me I speak differently.'
"They tell her she speaks like she's white. She asked me, 'What do they mean?' And I said: 'They mean that you speak properly and they have the wrong concept of what proper is. You know it's O.K. to speak properly and be black.' And I tell her there are white people who don't speak properly."
Nevertheless, there have been times when Sheria has tried to blend in by playing down her sophistication -- pretending not to know the answers to teachers' questions, acting silly when others are giggling. And normalcy is what Sheria says she looks for in a friend: "Someone who acts like a kid and is not too serious."
But Sheria cannot camouflage herself so easily. When she scores 100's on her spelling tests; when she easily defines words like "reverence," "meddle," and "justice" at the teacher's request; when her homeroom class recites a poem written by Sheria about the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. at an assembly -- it shows.
"She's very goal oriented, and at times it gets to them," Ms. Stoner continued. "She's driving for perfection, and other kids are doing what they have to do. She becomes like an outsider. It creates a lot of stress."
As the clock ticks towards 8:15 A.M., Ms. Stoner and Sheria ride the elevator down from their fifth-floor apartment to wait outside for the private van that takes Sheria to school. They stand together in front of their brick building, shifting from one foot to the other to stay warm, hats covering their identical corn rows. When the van pulls into their quiet stump of a cul-de-sac, Ms. Stoner helps hoist Sheria aboard and reaches up to kiss her goodbye. Then Ms. Stoner heads off to her job as a Nynex sales representative.
Ms. Stoner pays extra for the van service; it gives her a greater sense of security than having her child bump along on the free school bus. It is one of the ways Ms. Stoner has found peace of mind in an area that has one of the highest murder rates in the city.
Danger has nibbled at the edges of their lives. Crack addicts used to congregate in the entrance of Ms. Stoner's building to escape the cold until tenants turned off the radiator and put up a sign warning them to stay away.
Last June, in the apartment directly above Ms. Stoner's, a 3-year-old girl -- who had been pounded so hard in the chest that her lungs collapsed -- fell six floors to the street and died of her injuries. Just a few months ago, down the block, three young men firebombed a token booth, killing the clerk.
Sheria says the only thing that scares her are black cats, "because they bring bad luck." But she also said a scary novel recently prompted her to call out for her mother in the middle of the night. "I had a dream," she said. "It was a nightmare, actually. That there was acid all over my family. And just before this green man with poppy eyes was going to wring my neck, I woke up."
Sheria says she would someday like to live in the country, "It's nice and quiet there," she said.
Ms. Stoner could leave Bedford-Stuyvesant; some of her friends already have fled to the suburbs, and they urge her to follow. But Ms. Stoner has lived here since she was 10. Her parents still live in the neighborhood, and so do many of her friends. So Ms. Stoner doggedly defends her turf. "It's not like bullets are flying around," she said.
Ms. Stoner has carved out a protected path for herself and Sheria. She does not try to shield her daughter from the drug dealers on street corners or the drop-outs on stoops so much as steer her through them.
For Ms. Stoner, this navigation of the neighborhood has become second-nature -- less calculated than instinctive. Stopping in at McDonald's on Fulton Street is fine by day, when the street bustles with shoppers, but Ms. Stoner does not go out after dark. She runs most of her errands in downtown Brooklyn or Brooklyn Heights -- getting her nails done, buying Sheria a book -- and frequently takes gypsy cabs to get there. And whenever Ms. Stoner goes out of her apartment, she leaves rap music playing on the radio on so that any potential intruders will think someone is still inside.
Occasionally, she and Sheria will confront head-on the issues that have convulsed their community. When the abused little girl died after falling from the window and the child's baby-sitter was charged with second-degree murder, Ms. Stoner says, she and Sheria discussed whether the right woman had been held responsible. They knew both the baby-sitter and the foster mother personally and believe the baby-sitter was not at fault.
Ms. Stoner and Sheria also heatedly debated the merits of the Million Man March -- Sheria thought it was sexist because women weren't invited, Ms. Stoner thought that men had some atoning to do and that it was a good idea.
There are times when Ms. Stoner feels she has no choice but to explain some of the people they pass on the street -- like the teen-agers whose curse words Sheria cannot help but overhear. "What I tell her is, that's a sign of an uneducated person, because there is a lack of vocabulary," Ms. Stoner said. "I'm constantly telling her not to look up to them."
When Sheria used to put her palms together to give thanks to God before lunch in the school cafeteria, other children would taunt, " 'What are you saying grace for? Your mother's not here,' " Ms. Stoner recalled. "So I said, 'O.K., Sheria, what you do is, you just stare at your food. And don't let them see that you're praying.' "
It is lunchtime at P.S. 308. The cafeteria echoes with the clamor of children trading the contents of their crumpled brown paper bags at picnic tables. Neglecting the soggy jelly sandwich on white bread that she brought from home, Sheria concentrates on her Cheese Doodles, coating her fingertips in orange crumbs.
P.S. 308 plays a crucial role in completing Sheria's alternate universe. The principal, Dr. Gail Bell-Baptiste, says Bedford-Stuyvesant represents a minefield for motivated students like Sheria.
"They've got to walk through drug dealers, through the men on the corner who don't have jobs, through the gangs," she said. "So these kids not only have to deal with the stress and the pressure around the kind of academic stringency that is required to stay here. They also have to deal with the pressure of children who are not here, who represent all the other things that are negative around living in the inner city.
"They are constantly being threatened or accused, like, 'Who do you all think you are at P.S. 308?' -- that kind of stuff."
At P.S. 308, students learn in an atmosphere of energetic teachers, computers and current news magazines in classrooms decorated with uplifting messages like "Failure is a word I don't accept" (John H. Johnson) and "You don't have to be loud to be strong" (David N. Dinkins) and pep phrases like "Conquer setbacks," "Love yourself," "Believe that you can do anything" and "Stand up to peer pressure."
Just as Sheria sometimes feels ostracized by her peers, so has P.S. 308 itself come under attack in the neighborhood. The battle raged openly when P.S. 308 was first converted to a magnet school for gifted students back in 1985, forcing more than 400 children attending regular classes there to transfer to other schools in the district.
At the time, 80 police officers were sent to protect youngsters from parents protesting outside P.S. 308, and more than 50 Brooklyn parents occupied the local school superintendent's office.
These days, people in the district seem to have grown accustomed to the presence of P.S. 308 as a gifted school, but some tensions continue to simmer below the surface. Dr. Bell-Baptiste says she feels hostility from principals and teachers in the district who view P.S. 308 as having it easier, who resent the school for creaming their best students, thus making it more difficult for struggling schools to improve their rank in reading scores.
Several principals in Bedford-Stuyvesant argue that the focus should be on improving every school in the district, not herding all the high-performing students into just one.
"If I felt we were meeting the needs of that child, I would not want that child to leave," said Thelma Peeples, the principal of P.S. 26. "There is a better way than to group children homogeneously. Children learn from each other."
Lester McDowell, the principal of P.S. 40, said: "I do not believe in gifted schools. Not only do they siphon off children from other schools so those schools continue to struggle, but all children are special, and they should all be given the opportunity to excel."
Indeed, many of the other schools in District 16 stand in stark contrast to P.S. 308. Three have been determined by the state to be failing, including P.S. 304, which has yet to make it off the state's list of the city's worst schools, despite several years of intervention by the state, city and Federal Government. Last summer, then-Schools Chancellor Ramon C. Cortines took control of the district -- replacing its nine board members with his own trustees -- because of political infighting and mismanagement.
Until the turbulence shows signs of calming, Dr. Bell-Baptiste said, an island like P.S. 308 will remain essential.
"I like to talk about this being a village of gifted people: gifted children, gifted parents, gifted staff," she said. "These are things I say to them, just to remind them that, 'Yeah, ours is a little pocket right now where it's not so popular outside of our circle to be smart and to be hard working and to have visions and want to achieve. But somebody in this neighborhood's got to do it, so it's us.' "
It is Saturday morning in Bedford-Stuyvesant, and Sheria has a busy weekend ahead: Girl Scouts, a visit to her mother's best friend, Beverly, in Englewood, N.J. Sheria and her mother take the subway uptown, and Beverly drives to pick them up at the George Washington Bridge.
Keeping Sheria busy -- and occasionally getting her out of the neighborhood -- is part of Ms. Stoner's strategy. Ms. Stoner encourages Sheria to chat with the children who hang out on the block, but she generally makes it a point to be on her way somewhere else when they walk by. They go to Prospect Park, to chess tournaments, to a local theater.
"We don't go out and play," Ms. Stoner said. "I keep her occupied. I want her to know that she's not missing out on anything by not being on the block.
"It takes a lot to get that accomplished," she continued, "because I'm running all the time."
Ms. Stoner sometimes feels compelled to slap a little sign on her bedroom door that says, "Watch out, Mommy has had it." She gets tired. While she attends Medgar Evers College two nights a week -- pursuing her B.A. in elementary education -- Sheria stays with a friend of her mother or her grandmother.
Fortunately, Sheria does not always need scheduled activity; her inner life is often enough to keep her occupied for hours. When she and her mother just stay home in their pajamas -- Ms. Stoner has dubbed them "chill-out days" -- Sheria is rarely restless. She immerses herself in her Barbie dolls, her mother's dress-up clothes, her poetry or her nearly complete collection of Maya Angelou ("I'm almost finished with 'Gather Together in My Name,' " Sheria recently announced).
Ms. Stoner designates the area near her daughter's doll house as Sheria's "achievement corner," where they display Sheria's attendance awards and honor-roll ribbons. She declares an occasional "Upside Down Day," when she and Sheria have breakfast for dinner and sip orange juice from champagne glasses.
Because Ms. Stoner felt that her parents conveyed their love through creature comforts, she de-emphasizes material things in her own household. When Sheria says, 'so-and-so has a certain kind of sneakers on,' Ms. Stoner said she counters, " 'What score did they get on the spelling test? Sneakers are going to wear out.' "
Although Ms. Stoner is raising Sheria by herself, Sheria's father, Ronald Mattis, maintains a close relationship with his daughter, visiting her once every two weeks.
Sheria thinks the world of him. "I look like my father and act like my father," Sheria said proudly. "Mommy says we're both crazy. Me and my dad are both poets."
Dr. Bell-Baptiste of P.S. 308 says that even all the personal self-confidence, parental support and academic preparation in the world cannot necessarily insure that inner-city black children like Sheria will ultimately beat the odds.
"Some of them still don't make it, just based on the law of averages," Dr. Bell-Baptiste said. "But they have a better chance of making it coming out of a school like this than they do from the schools down the street."
Yet, Ms. Stoner does not view her child as one of those at risk. There is not a doubt in her mind that Sheria will continue on to college (Sheria says she wants to go to Notre Dame so that she can play football.) and that her daughter will become the "great writer" she says she one day wants to be. In fact, Ms. Stoner sees Sheria as one of the lucky ones.
Those less fortunate are never far from Ms. Stoner's line of vision. She can see them idling on the street just below her window -- the boy with the beautiful voice or the girl whose mother doesn't seem to pay attention. Ms. Stoner looks at these children and suspects that there is something of Sheria in every one of them.
"A lot of these kids are stars," Ms. Stoner said. "They just need a little polishing. They're just not shining right now."Continue reading the main story

West Virginia Gov. Joe Manchin (D) has a strong chance at being elected to the late Sen. Robert Byrd's (D-W.Va.) Senate seat, according to a new poll.
If the state decides to hold a special election in November 2010, Manchin would lead two potential Republican candidates by double-digit margins, a Rasmussen survey found.
As it stands now, Manchin will appoint someone to fill Byrd's Senate seat until a special election is held in November 2012. But the state attorney general's office said Thursday that a 2010 special election can happen.
Manchin has said if a special election were to be held this fall, he would "highly consider" running.
The Friday Rasmussen Poll found that Manchin comes in with 53 percent when matched up with Rep. Shelley Moore Capito (R-W.Va.), who received 39 percent. Capito has not said she would run for the seat, but she is considered one of the strongest GOP candidates for either that position or the governor's office.
The poll also tested Manchin against former state Secretary of State Betty Ireland (R). Manchin held an even bigger lead there — garnering 65 percent to Ireland's 26 percent.
The poll was a telephone survey of likely voters conducted Thursday night. It also found Manchin had a 77 percent approval rating, which is consistent with past polls on the popular governor.
Moore Capito is also a popular figure in the state. She is the daughter of a former governor and the first Republican woman West Virginia sent to Congress. She has said she's in favor of a November 2010 special election but has not said what she would do if that happens. Republicans had urged her to challenge Byrd in 2006 but she ran for reelection to her House seat.
There is still no final decision on when the special election will be held. After the attorney general's opinion was released, Manchin issued a statement saying he would consult with the state legislature.
"In light of this opinion, I plan to speak with the state's legislative leadership immediately to determine how we will further proceed in order to reach a conclusion to this matter," he said Thursday.
In order to have a special election this fall, the state legislature may have to change the West Virginia election code. If that is required, Manchin would have to direct the legislature to revisit the issue during its special session, which is scheduled to begin July 19.

There are a ton of new details on Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII that are out.
Not really side quests if it is tied to your growth usually side quests are for those who want to expand the universe like in 10 where you got extra info about Spira or 8 where you learned about a character a bit more.
I usually find side quests rewarding as well.
"This new world will be created after the world in Lightning Returns ends in 13 days, which gives rise to a speculation of a new game."
Yay, another poorly designed Toriyama FF game. Just what we wanted! Forget Versus XIII, more of this stuff please! /s
"Lightning's clothes are the clothes of a soul liberator, and the clothes and task are given by Bhunivelze–the maker. That's because while the "crystal myth" involves many gods, out of the ones that are concerned in the "Lightning Saga", Bhunivelze is the only one who hasn't made an appearance."
"Unlike FFXIII and FFXIII-2 where to stagger an enemy all you had to do was fill up an enemy's chain gauge, this time you have to fulfill a bunch of other conditions besides that."
Cool, some variation. But umm, given that the time limit counts down during battles, my guess is that people will opt for whatever variation of "auto-battle" exists in this game. You know, because you have to play this game quickly instead of how you'd normally play a JRPG.
"New equipment can be bought from the various vendors in the game, or made if you have the right components along with possible decorations like the sunglasses Lightning is seen with in the latest trailer are in the game."
Crafting system in an FF game. Cool. About time I'd say. Last time we saw anything like this in any real depth was FFIX.
"Lightning's growth is tied to completing the quests you get from people in-game, which probably indicates a lot of side-quests. You get components to make new equipment and points to alter the amount of available time before the end."
What does Toriyama have against levelling up? Seriously. Why create limitations to character progression? That is more of the same crap that people hated in FFXIII. It's like taking one step forward with XIII-2 and one step back with XIII-3. Fire Toriyama and let someone else direct.
damn this is like the 100th idiot to misspell lightning in the title of an article. last idiot spelled it that way every time through the entire article. how does shit get approved? and the titles are massive, how do they keep missing this?

Member Dale Sherman asked that question, more or less, in a comment to the ACI National Attendees group. I'm just boosting it into everyone's view.
Personally, I'd enjoy a complete set of building analysis tools/equipment so that I could start doing audits without first going into debt. Probably more a job for (something like) slow money.
Some sort of cream-skimming would make the best investme…

Walking Through the Process
Changes and Modifications of the Rules
The purposes of the program are:
All members of PVAS in good standing, except for corresponding members, are eligible to participate in the program.
The BAP Committee shall consist of five members. The Chairman shall be appointed by the President of PVAS. The remaining four members shall be appointed by the Chairman, with the consent of the Board of Governors. The President of PVAS is ex officio a member of the committee.
The committee shall oversee and enforce all of the rules and regulations governing the BAP. Among these are verifying and awarding points to qualifying members, keeping proper records, making appropriate awards to qualified members, and reviewing the rules and regulations at least once a year for possible improvements.
In addition to presiding over the BAP committee, the BAP chair is responsible for administering the BAP on a day to day basis. All BAP Spawning Reports, Spawning Summaries, and Questions regarding the BAP ultimately come to the Chair. Therefore, the chair may be contacted at any time, either at email@example.com or via phone if the number is available.
This function has been retired. Any PVAS member eligible to participate in the BAP may perform Checks and Verifications for those not in their household. They must then contact the BAP chair to affirm that the check has been made and the requirements met. An email to firstname.lastname@example.com is as good as a signature for this purpose.
The program is composed of five levels of achievement. These levels and their requirements are as follows:
Categories of Breeding Points
Attainment of any of the five levels will be recognized in the Delta Tale and at the next general meeting. Awards are presented each December at the annual Christmas meeting.
The BAP Spawning Report Form looks complex, and asks for a lot of information. Most of it is optional and there for the Breeder's benefit when putting together a Spawning Summary. The Following items are Required:
Everything else is Optional or not used. (The Grey shaded areas anticipate some rule changes under discussion. The Green shaded fields are for the BAP Chair to fill out.)
Incomplete BAP forms may always be sent to the BAP Chair for review and suggestions. It is not out of line to send a BAP form after each milestone is passed.
There are 3 methods of making a change:

Happily Ever After…Taylor + Tommy Sacramento Wedding Photography
Taylor and Tommy tied the knot in a lovely ceremony at St. Stephen church in Sacramento before heading back to Reno and start their lives together.

Tommy and Taylor are an awesome couple and we enjoyed meeting the rest of their family and friends where creating the stunning images of their wedding day.
It's wonderful to have the opportunity to be part of the happiest day of a person's life, all the best Taylor and Tommy!

text: Tanker operator Frontline, which announced on Wednesday it planned to list its shares on the New York Stock Exchange, said that there could be room in the tanker market this year for more acquisitions. "There aren't too many (acquisition targets) left," Frontline Financial Director Tor Olav Troim said. "Together with Worldwide and Teekay, I think we've pretty much cleaned up the market. But there's two or three things to be done, so let's see what happens this year." Frontline, which is 40 percent owned by Norwegian shipping magnate John Fredriksen, owns a fleet of 29 Suezmax (million-barrel) tankers and 32 VLCCs. Troim said the focus would remain on the bigger tankers, rather than the small Aframax tankers, which are making impressive earnings this year. "I think we said from the start that we were only in the VLCC and Suezmax markets," he said. "If we were to do anything (with Aframaxes) we'd only do it by taking a major share of the market. We wouldn't buy two or three ships here or there." The Aframax market is currently dominated by New York-listed Teekay. Frontline expects that its new listing on the NYSE will not take place until approximately the middle of June. - (Reuters)

I am so grateful that you are willing to teach us the basics of copics coloring. I find it very difficult to get to classes due to chronic health issues, so I tend to learn what I can from online sources like Stamp TV and other good sites.
I look forward to your tutorials on coloring. Thank you again for asking what those of us who subscribe to your blog updates what we would like to see in coloring tutorials from you--so kind and thoughtful of you, Melanie.
Blessings, Joanne Lowe c

I too am looking forward to your coloring. But, please think about pencils and how to blend. It is a very comprehensive medium. with points of pencils, colors, and solution for blending.I don't use copics. tried them and don't like them. Maybe there are some others like me. Color is so important.along with shading and especially light source. Your basics are important. Looking forward to all you do. I will follow your knowledge an use colored pencils.thanks for listening.

Do you have any shipping restrictions?
We ship anywhere in the United States as well as any country allowed by Fedex International. The only restriction is that we cannot ship a wheel and tire package to an APO address because of the size and weight restrictions through the United States Postal Service. We can however ship wheels, or any wheel accessory to an APO or FPO. Additional shipping charges may apply.
Do you do mounting and balancing in house?
Yes, we perform all mounting and balancing in house.
Do you do installations at your store?
Yes, we are a full service shop. All mounting, balancing, and installation of wheels is performed in house. In addition, we install performance parts, suspension, and vehicle accessories.
Do you carry brands not on your website?
Yes, the task of adding new wheels brands to the website, and keeping existing brands up to date is extremely time consuming. We do the best to add new brands as often as we can, but only about 50% of what we carry is currently listed. If you are looking for a wheel not found on our website, give us a call at 1-800-242-9883 or send an email to email@example.com.
Do you have a return policy?
Yes, as long as tires have not been mounted to the wheels you can return the wheels to us within 14 days of receiving your product. The wheels MUST be in BRAND NEW RESELLABLE CONDITION and MUST be in ORIGINAL MANUFACTURERS PACKAGING. You must first call and get a return authorization from us, so that we can document the reason for its return. If you do not get this authorization, we will not know why the wheels have been returned, and many times we will not know who it is returning the wheels. Restocking fees are determined by the wheel brand. Some manufacturers do not charge a restocking fee. Some can charge up to 25% restocking fee. You will responsible for the return shipping, and the initial shipping charges incurred are non refundable. Clearance items are non-refundable and do not come with a warranty as many times the wheel is being discontinued, and will no longer be available. Wheels that are custom built or semi-custom built are not returnable and cannot be exchanged as they are built specifically for your vehicle. Any product that has been altered, modified, or customized for the customer or by the customer is sold as is, and cannot be returned or refunded for any reason.
What warranty does the product come with?
All of our non-Clearance wheels and tires come with a manufacturers warranty. Clearance items do not come with a warranty as many times the wheel is being discontinued, and will on longer be available.
Most wheels come with 1 year warranty on the finish, and lifetime structural warranty against any manufacturers defects. Tire warranties depend on the manufacturer and model of the tire. Please see the manufacturers website for complete warranty information.
Some manufacturers deal directly with the consumer in handling warranties, but generally Element Wheels will facilitate warranty exchanges. Please note that defective products will only be replaced with the exact same product, and cannot be substituted for a different item. Element Wheels is not responsible for any costs associated with the exchange of a warranty item such as shipping back and forth, labor charges, time, etc. Any costs associated with the exchange will be the responsibility of the customer. The role of Element Wheels is to only facilitate exchanges, as Element Wheels does not manufacture any wheels or tires.
Do you charge sales tax?
We do not charge sales tax unless you are in the state of Arizona. Arizona residents are charged 8.8% sales tax.
Backspacing: (See Diagram A)
The distance from the mounting surface to the back of the wheel.
Bolt Pattern, Bolt Circle Diameter: (See Diagram A)
The Bolt Pattern is the diameter of an imaginary circle that goes through the center of the bolt holes. Examples are 4x100 mm, 5x4.5 in, 6x5.5 in, 8x170 mm.
Centerbore: (See Diagram A)
The size of the hole in the back of the wheel that centers the wheel properly on the hub of the car. Many aftermarket wheels will be drilled to a larger universal size, and uses hub rings to reduce the size to match the hub on the car for perfect centering. Generally speaking, a perfect hub size match and hub rings can be optional for vehicles that use lug nuts, but are absolutely required for vehicles that use bolts such as BMW, Mercedes, and VW.
Offset: (See Diagram A)
The distance from the centerline of the wheel to the face of the mounting surface of the wheel that contacts the hub. A simple way to understand offset, is the lower the offset, the more the wheel will stick out, likewise, the higher the offset, the more the wheel will tuck. For example, and Honda Civic generally uses around a +40mm offset. So if you put a +15mm offset wheel on the car, the wheel is likely to stick out about 1 inch.
PCD: (See Diagram A)
See Bolt Pattern
Wheel Center: (See Diagram A)
This is the center of the wheel in relation to the width
Wheel Diameter: (See Diagram A)
This is the diameter of the wheel. Keep in mind that this is not necessarily a measurement from end to end of the wheel. It is a measure of where the tire makes contact to the wheel.
Wheel Width: (See Diagram A)
This is the width of the wheel, measured from the inside of the outer lip to the inside of the inner lip. Generally, it measures out to about 1 inch less than the measurement from the very front of the wheel to the very back of the wheel.
What is the proper inflations for my tires?
Proper inflation pressure is necessary for optimum tire performance, safety and best fuel economy. To maintain proper inflation pressure, frequently check tires (when they are cool) with an accurate tire pressure gauge. For example, it is difficult to tell just by looking at radial tires whether they are under inflated. Always maintain inflation pressure at the level recommended by the vehicle manufacturer as shown on the vehicle placard or in the Owner's Manual. Higher inflation pressure increases stiffness which may deteriorate ride and generate unwanted vibration. Under inflation is the most common cause of failures in any kind of tire and may result in severe cracking, component separation or "blowout," with unexpected loss of vehicle control and accident. Under inflation increases sidewall flexing and rolling resistance resulting in heat and mechanical damage.
How often should I rotate my tires?
That depends. Refer to your owner's manual for exact guidelines, but most manufacturers recommend rotating tires roughly every 5,000 to 10,000 miles. Again, see your owner's manual for specifics.
What does speed rating mean?
The speed symbol denoting a fixed maximum speed capability of new tires must be shown only in the speed rating portion of the tire's service description, such as 225/50R16 89S. The most common tire speed rating symbols, maximum speeds and typical applications are shown below:
|Speet Rating
|Maximum Speed (mph)
|Maximum Speed (km/h)
|81 mph
|130 km/h
|87 mph
|Temporary Spare Tires
|93 mph
|150 km/h

How do I read the tire size?
These instructions follow the example of a P195-70-R14 90T tire
The majority of tire sizes start with a
letter that identifies the type of vehicle and/or type
of service for which they were designed:
P = P-metric or Passenger. The most common service type, this signifies that the tire is fitted on passenger vehicles: minivans, cars, SUVs, and light trucks.
T = Temporary Spare.
LT = Light Truck-metric. This signifies that the tire is fitted on trucks that are capable of towing trailers or carrying heavy cargo: full-size vans, large SUVs, and pickup trucks.
ST = Special Trailer Service. This tire is only used on boat, utility, or car trailers. They are not designed to be fitted on motor vehicles.
The three numbers after the first letter signify the tire's width in millimeters. For the P195-70-R14 90T tire, that's 195 millimeters if you're measuring across widthwise from the outer sidewall to the inner sidewall.
The two numbers after the section width
identify the tire's profile (aspect ratio). For the
P195-70-R14 90T tire, that would be 70.
What's an aspect ratio, you ask? Here's where it gets technical: 70 indicates that the sidewall height (from rim to tread) is 70 percent of its section width.
What does this equation tell us? Higher numbers mean taller sidewalls, and lower numbers mean shorter sidewalls.
The letter after the two numbers
representing the sidewall aspect ratio signifies the
internal construction of the tire.
Per the P195-70-R14 90T tire, the R means radial, the most common tire construction. However, a D would mean diagonal construction which is used mainly for applications in spare tires and light trucks.
The two numbers after the letter
identifying the internal construction indicate the
diameter of the wheel in inches.
For the P195-70-R14 90T tire, the tire and wheel diameter is 14 inches. However, many new compact and even subcompact cars today are moving up to the more luxurious 15-inch tires.
The last set of numbers followed by a
letter indicate the tire's load carrying capacity index
(maximum weight on the tires) and speed rating (how fast
the tires are designed to go).
Using the example of the P195-70-R14 90T tire, that is 90T:
90 = 1323 pounds max (600 kilograms)
T = 118 MPH max (190 km/h) for passenger cars
I only need 2 tires. Do they go in the front or back?
If you�re replacing only two tires, be sure to have the new tires installed on your vehicle�s rear axle. New tires will provide better wet grip than your half-worn tires. When new tires are installed on the rear, it helps reduce the potential for your vehicle to fishtail or hydroplane in wet conditions.

Bellator 99 kicked off tonight, which featured an exciting featherweight bout between Justin Wilcox and Akop Stepanyan. Both fighters were eager to move on through this featherweight tournament for a chance at the champ, Pat Curan.
Wilcox took this fight on short notice, and he had to cut a tremendous amount of weight for this bout in order to make the featherweight limit. He did, and both fighters put on an exciting fight from start to finish. Wilcox was rocked and battered in this fight, where Akop was able to showcase his dynamic kicking game. Down but not out, Wilcox took Akop down in the second, and he was able to lock up a rear naked choke, putting Akop to sleep.
This was an amazing comeback fight for Wilcox, proving he is one of the most durable fighters in the featherweight tournament. Wilcox showed true grit and heart in this fight, and it couldn't have come at a better time, as he was on a two fight losing streak. Now, Wilcox continues on in the featherweight tournament alongside great fighters, such as Patricio Pitbull and Diego Nunes.
Wilcox is one of the best wrestlers under the Bellator promotion, and it certainly helps when you train alongside Josh Koscheck, who is one of the better wrestlers in MMA. After the first round, Koscheck told Wilcox that he had the toughness to keep going, and this confidence was exactly what Wilcox needed. Tonight showed that he still needs some work in terms of his stand up ability, but he still has some time to grow as a fighter. Congrats to Justin Wilcox on the impressive finish.
