Maniac Mansion follows a group of teenagers led by Dave on a mission to rescue his girlfriend from an ominous mansion. A crazy scientist and his equally bizarre family reside inside, and in a bizarre twist, are under the thrall of an evil purple meteor that crashed into their backyard years earlier.
The big choice given to the player upon starting the game is in which two of Dave's friends will accompany him. Each has his or her own specific skills (which are only broadly hinted at in their descriptions), and these can be utilised at various points within the game.
Many adventure games in the '80s felt like choose-your-own adventure interactive fiction or treasure hunts, whereas Maniac Mansion's structure ensured it felt distinct. This is a game that doesn't follow a clear narrative path and instead is a lot more freeform in allowing players to explore and approach its world in any order they see fit.
With the action taking place over the course of a single evening, the story in Maniac Mansion is also presented in a very different fashion to most other games of the day. It still plays an important role, there just aren't any instances of "Go forth and retrieve thine magic crystal of energies most blue and pure from thine woods of darkness most dark…" even though that does sound pretty cool, in an ominous sort of way.
In Maniac Mansion the action gets interrupted at regular intervals, with the viewpoint cutting away to present a story sequence in a different location within the mansion, usually featuring one of the Edison clan doing something important or bickering with each other. A better way to describe that overly wordy sentence would be to say that Maniac Mansion has cutscenes to help push the story forward.
"Cutscenes, got it, no need to waffle on about it."
Says you! According to Ron Gilbert, the term cutscene didn't even exist in 1987, and it was Maniac Mansion that coined it, forever changing the world and universe for the better. Or at least giving us a convenient term to describe what is now a very common game narrative tool.
"My mistake. Waffle on my good man."
The premise of rescuing your girlfriend with the help of friends from the clutches of an evil scientist and his crazy family is both a simple and memorable one, as is the real world setting and real world objects you interact with.
The very first puzzle players come across in Maniac Mansion is a reflection of this difference, where in order to unlock the front door to actually enter the mansion you'll need to search under the doormat to find the spare key. It's the most straightforward puzzle within the game, which seems to follow a slider as it progresses, with the puzzle solutions growing more creative and less logical. No matter how outlandish, however, they generally seem to involve the Entertaining Acquisition of Keys (TM).
In order to fix the telephone located in the library, for instance, you'll need the right tools, which can be found in the garage. But as the tools are locked up you'll need to get the right key which can be found in the friendly Green Tentacle's room (not to be confused with un-friendly Purple Tentacle). But of course you can't really access his room, because he won't let you past until you feed him the specific food that he craves.
After feeding him a kitchen's worth of goodies - all of which leave him unsatisfied - you'll most likely stumble on the solution by giving him the bowl of wax fruit you came across earlier. This seems to sate his hunger quite nicely, and hey, who are you to judge what is or isn't a delicious treat to a sentient tentacle? This then opens the way forward for you to retrieve the key you need.
Using another key that you get from Nurse Edna's room is standard key-goes-into-lock business, but how you actually distract her to grab said key is the fun part. In the bathroom there's some graffiti on the wall that starts with "For a good time call Edna," and now that the telephone is working again you can use it to invoke said "good time". This opens a window for one of your other characters to sneak into Edna's room while she's too busy engaging in phone naughtiness to notice your key grabbing skills. It's the vaguely hinted at phone sex that makes this sequence especially memorable.
The best aspects of the game are in utilising the playable characters' respective skills in what are more often than not charming ways. The aspiring writer Wendy can take the evil sentient Meteor's scrappy memoirs and turn them into literary gold, and in the process secure a multi-million dollar publishing deal. The two musically inclined characters, Syd and Razor, can help the Green Tentacle with his music career, while the resident nerd of the group, Bernard, can fix pretty much any broken object he comes across.
Maniac Mansion is not a very long game once you know where to go and how to solve the various puzzles, but it can be quite difficult thanks to its non-linear nature (something that subsequent LucasArts games would shy away from) and the multiple ways in which it can be completed. Scratch that, it can actually be extremely difficult and easily become something that could leave you stumped for days or weeks on end.
As one of the first adventure games with a point and click interface, it might come as a surprise how cumbersome the implementation actually was. In order to work out what items and objects within a screen can be interacted with, for instance, you need to select the 'What Is' action from the bottom of the screen, which only then gives you a text readout of all the interactive hot spots as you move the cursor around.
On the plus side, this can be used to great effect in the many dark rooms you'll come across, where you don't need the single flashlight, but can just use 'What Is' to cheat the system and find any light switches, lamps or items - in total darkness.
Maniac Mansion was a huge success that became an almost overnight franchise. A number of versions were released over the course of a few years across multiple formats. It also made its way onto consoles with a very popular if severely edited NES version, which did have the distinction of adding catchy theme music for each playable character. It also, surprisingly, allowed you to still put the hamster in the microwave even though the whole Nurse Edna phone sex thing - as vague as it was even in the home computer version - was changed completely to make her act like a senile old lady speaking to a family member she hadn't spoken to in years on the other end of the phone.
Maniac Mansion even spawned its own television series in 1990 that ran for an impressive three seasons. It differed in both overall plot and tone, instead opting to follow the classic sitcom trope of a wacky family doing wacky things with wacky results. But mostly it was wack. *Ahem.* Most importantly though, it put Lucasfilm Games on the map as one of the premiere adventure game developers, and the studio would follow through with hit after hit, each of which would have its own very distinct personality.
In Journal Entry # 5 – Before Lucasfilm Games entered the world of VGA and became LucasArts the studio released one of its more lesser known adventures…

Q&A with the yard pros
How big is a roll of sod?
Sod rolls can come in various sizes depending on the harvest equipment or job application. Professional installers may often order what we call 'big' rolls for large-scale projects such as an athletic field or golf course. These 'big' rolls require specialized equipment for installation and are available either 30" of 42" wide and 100' long. Most residential customers do not have access to this specialized equipment for installation; therefore, they choose palletized sod. Most of our palletized rolls of sod are 24" wide by 4 ½' long (9 square feet or 1 square yard).
Is sod in stock all the time?
Sod is highly perishable especially during early spring through early fall when temperatures are at their peak. Most outlets will have in-stock a limited supply on certain days for homeowners needing to make small repairs. To ensure survivability of the sod, it is best to order and have it delivered freshly cut.
How do I know how much sod I will need?
Measuring your yard for sod may seem like a daunting task especially with all of those curved planting bed areas. When I measure a lawn, I stand back and look a the landscape for a few minutes and decide how to keep the measuring easy by splitting the area into several rectangular areas. Once I have done this, it is the simple geometry equation of length X width. You may find our measurement tool helpful as well. (link here) If you choose to use the web for your measurements, I would suggest you measure the old fashioned way also to confirm all measurements prior to ordering your sod. Once you measured your lawn, I would strongly urge you to add 10% to the sod order for waste and any last minute changes to the bed lines during installation.
How soon should the sod be installed once it's delivered?
Please remember that sod is a living product. It should be installed immediately upon arrival at the jobsite.
What do I need to do to prepare for my new sod?
To ensure the health of your lawn, you need to PREPARE THE SOIL. You wouldn't build a house with without a solid foundation. Your lawn is the same. Soil is the foundation of your new lawn.
1. Have your soil tested. We offer this service FREE at any of our outlet locations.
2. Eradicate any perennial plants before tilling the soil. A good example would be killing any common bermuda before converting your lawn to a zoysiagrass. This may take up to 3 applications of RoundUp on a two-week spray interval.
3. Till the soil to a depth of 4 to 6 inches several day to a week before the sod arrives. This would be a great time to amend your soil based on your FREE soil test results.
4. Remove any large foreign items such as rocks and tree roots and rake smooth.
5. Irrigate the newly prepared soil several days prior to sod arrival. The weight of the water droplets dropping on the soil will not only hydrate the soil but also firm the soil without compacting it. NEVER INSTALL SOD ON DRY SOIL.
6. Lightly rake the soil as you install the sod to remove any imperfections.
How soon can I walk on my new lawn?
Installing sod is different from installing new flooring in your house. The new sod must have time to establish and grow before any activity should take place on the lawn. Here are a few tips for evaluating the establishment of your newly sodded lawn. Visually inspect your lawn for healthy growth over a period of a few days. Pay particular attention to the seams of the sod. Are they slow disappearing? I would also suggest you kneel down and try lifting the corner of the sod in several places though out the lawn. This will give you a better idea of the rooting of the lawn. In an established lawn, you will not be able to pull the sod away from the soil.
How often do I need to water my new lawn?
This is a very in-depth question which I could spend literally hours answering. Knowing that you do not have hours to read a dissertation on irrigation of a home lawn, I will try to brief and highlight the important facts.
First and foremost, you must hand water new sod immediately upon installation. Do not install more than two pallets before taking your lemonade break and using the garden hose and your thumb to thoroughly soak the new sod. Lift a few pieces of sod and inspect the soil underneath to be certain that it is fully saturated. Most irrigation systems will not provide enough water quick enough to keep the new sod from wilting, especially on hot days. Once you have initially hand-watered the new sod, you may use your irrigation system or sprinklers to continue to water the sod to the point of fully saturated soils for the first two weeks. After two weeks, you should start trimming the amount of water back to a normal schedule. Speaking of normal schedule, most grass varieties will require between 1 and 1 ½ inches per week. Avoid short intervals every day and water for long periods 3 to 4 times per week.
I have weeds in my new lawn. What can I do to get rid of them?
Weeds are certainly a nuisance in any lawn, but to see them in your new lawn can really be a disappointment. We can certainly sympathize with you, but most weeds in a newly sodded lawn should not be your first priority. Establishing the lawn should be the focus. Once the lawn is established we can advise you on how to eradicate the weed issue. Most weeds in a newly sodded lawn are annuals and a result of preparing the soil and then providing a perfect growing environment. In essence you are in a Catch 22 during certain times of the year when sod a lawn. Never use preemergent herbicides on a newly sodded lawn, as most of these will inhibit rooting of the new sod. There are certainly some weeds, which should be addressed immediately regardless of how established your new lawn is. A good example of this would be bermudagrass in your new zoysiagrass sod. In this instance, I would recommend you eradicate the bermudagrass immediately before it spreads.
Which is better, seeding or sodding?
There are many reasons for sodding your lawn rather than seeding. The primary reason is quick establishment. If you really think about it, sod may be more expensive on the front end, but when you weigh all the inputs for establishing a lawn from seed, sod quickly becomes a reasonable bargain. Another reason for the increased popularity of sod in recent years should be contributed to the newer varieties of grasses. Many, if not all of the newer varieties produce a non-viable seed. Therefore, there is no seed available for the improved zoysiagrasses or even for the ever-popular 419 Tifway bermudagrass which you may want for your lawn.
When is the best time to water my lawn?
There has been a long-standing debate as to when is the best time to water your lawn. Some think that water during the early evening will increase the humidity through out the night and cause more fungus activity in the lawn. Others have the belief that if you irrigate during the warmest part of the day the water will magnify the sun's rays and cause the lawn to instantaneously combust. I feel that that the lawn needs water when it needs water. It's as simple as that. I personally irrigate my lawn in the early morning hours the majority of the time. Normally the calmest part of a 24 hour period will be during this 3am to 6am window which ensures that 100% of the water I am paying for is absorbed by the soil and not evaporated by sun light or blown away by winds. I will however irrigate my lawn briefly during the middle of the day on occasions. These short irrigation cycles help me eliminate wilting during the hottest periods of the year. I will normally program the irrigation to cycle 2 to 3 times during the mid afternoon period and run the zones for 2 to 3 minutes per zone. This light application of water serves two purposes. First, the water will naturally hydrate the plant and the second, as the water evaporates it will lower the temperature of the grass blade. In essence, I am helping my lawn sweat!
What does it mean to "test your soil?" Is it necessary?
Soil tests will give you a report of several nutrient levels as well as the pH of your soil. Even if the nutrient levels are sufficient for your lawn, their uptake by the plant may be limited if the pH is not balanced. I have long believed that healthy lawns will overcome many adverse conditions such as drought and severe winter temperatures and healthy lawns begin with healthy soils. So yes, a soil test is a necessity. I would suggest that the soils be tested annually to ensure a healthy lawn. After all, you can stop by any Carolina Fresh Farms outlet and the staff will be happy send your soil test to the lab for FREE!

England with the ancestors of the Pelowe family in the Norman Conquest of 1066. The Pelowe family lived in Yorkshire. The name, however, refers to the region of Belleau or Bella Aqua in France, both of which translate as good water or clear water. [1]CITATION[CLOSE]
Arthur, William , An Etymological Dictionary of Family and Christian Names. London: 1857. Print
Pelowe Early Origins
Yorkshire, where the name is "probably of Norman origin, meaning bel-eau, in Latin, Bella-aqua, the fair water; the designation of some locality. John be Bellew was a Baron of Parliament temp. Edward I." [2]CITATION[CLOSE]
Lowe, Mark Anthony, Patronymica Britannica, A Dictionary of Family Names of the United Kingdom. London: John Russel Smith, 1860. Print.

Pelowe Spelling Variations
Pelowe Spelling Variations
Multitudes of spelling variations are a hallmark of Anglo Norman names. Most of these names evolved in the 11th and 12th century, in the time after the Normans introduced their own Norman French language into a country where Old and Middle English had no spelling rules and the languages of the court were French and Latin. To make matters worse, medieval scribes spelled words according to sound, so names frequently appeared differently in the various documents in which they were recorded. The name was spelled Bellew, Belew, Below, Bella and others.

The Great Migration
The Great Migration
Because of this political and religious unrest within English society, many people decided to immigrate to the colonies. Families left for Ireland, North America, and Australia in enormous numbers, traveling at high cost in extremely inhospitable conditions. The New World in particular was a desirable destination, but the long voyage caused many to arrive sick and starving. Those who made it, though, were welcomed by opportunities far greater than they had known at home in England. Many of these families went on to make important contributions to the emerging nations of Canada and the United States. Analysis of immigration records indicates that some of the first North American immigrants bore the name Pelowe or a variant listed above: Patrick Bellew who settled in Philadelphia, Pa. followed by Charles, James, John, Michael and Patrick all between 1844 and 1860; J.H. Bellew settled in San Francisco Cal. in 1852.
The motto was originally a war cry or slogan. Mottoes first began to be shown with arms in the 14th and 15th centuries, but were not in general use until the 17th century. Thus the oldest coats of arms generally do not include a motto. Mottoes seldom form part of the grant of arms: Under most heraldic authorities, a motto is an optional component of the coat of arms, and can be added to or changed at will; many families have chosen not to display a motto.
Motto: Tout d'en haut
Motto Translation: All from above.

DC Public Schools fired first-year Dunbar Coach Ashaa Cherry on Monday for using three ineligible players in the Crimson Tide's season opener and ruled the football team must forfeit a second DCIAA league game for its role in a fight that ended that same game.
According to a DCPS statement, Dunbar administrators prior to the season identified the three students as academically ineligible and their names weren't submitted to the DCIAA for eligibility approval.
Those three players participated in Dunbar's 22-8 loss to Dunbar-Baltimore in the I-95 Kickoff Classic two weeks ago. Dunbar's game against the Poets was called with 4 minutes 33 seconds left after a fight broke out following the Crimson Tide's lone touchdown.
Last week, DCPS interim Athletic Director Willie Jackson ruled that Dunbar must forfeit its first DCIAA West — an Oct. 7 game against Bell — as a penalty for its role in the fight.
Monday, DCPS went a step further, announcing that the school must forfeit two games, which means the Crimson Tide will also not play Cardozo on Oct. 14.
The DC Municipal Record states that "school officers and coaches who knowingly allow ineligible students to participate in an interscholastic athletic program or contest shall be subject to disciplinary action." The DCMR also states that s school must forfeit any games in which ineligible players were used.
Cherry declined to comment Monday and Dunbar Athletic Director Johnnie Walker wasn't available to comment. Prior to Saturday's 34-28 win over Southern Durham (N.C.), Walker ruled that two Dunbar players have been issued one-game suspensions for their role in the fight.
Cherry took over at Dunbar last spring after Craig Jefferies stepped down following a 15-year run that saw the Crimson Tide play in the Turkey Bowl, the DCIAA title game, 12 times, winning eight.
The interim coach is Willie Bennett. He was an assistant under Cherry.

Re-Imagine Raleigh
A creative urban planning project
The Raleigh Urban Design Center, sponsored by the Downtown Raleigh Alliance recently engaged the public in a creative planning project (watch the video) in order to raise awareness of the upcoming downtown plan update, called the Livable Streets Plan, during the SPARKcon Festival in downtown Raleigh. To achieve this, the UDC collaborated with James Rojas, urban planner and artist to help craft the event.
Contact the artist James Thomas Rojas at 313 S. Cordova Street Alhambra, CA 91801 (626-437-4446)
Watch the video
How did the process work?
Re-Imagine Raleigh invited the public to reflect upon, explore, participate in, and craft the look and feel of downtown Raleigh. The project engaged the public in the urban planning process through a series of activities: an Interactive model of the downtown and two workshops.
The interactive model of Raleigh
An interactive model of Raleigh was created on-site that captured the city's urban form. The model interpreted the key geographical features, street patterns, and cultural landmarks of the city. On this model Rojas created conceptual representations of built form via small one-inch scale buildings. The buildings, made of wood blocks, tile, jewelry, plastic game pieces, tape and many other materials, some of which are painted and designed to capture the essence of the actual real-life buildings and urban vibrancy of downtown Raleigh.
The interactive process was started by arranging the buildings on the model. The model is not static, thus allowing people to place, replace pieces anywhere on the model. Through this process they were able to understand how this city is physically created, experienced and imagined. Through dialogue the UDC was able to glean ideas and themes for the future of downtown generated by the model participants. The adaptability of this three-dimensional model allowed participants to investigate various urban forms that typify Raleigh now, in the future and project their own ideas onto the model about the physical nature of the city. They became an active participant in the creation and evolution of the work and its vision.
Raleigh interactive workshops
Facilitated by Mr. Rojas and the UDC, two workshops were conducted as a new method of community outreach that used creative thinking to re-imagine the urban structure of downtown. After a brief presentation of the method, participants were given 20 minutes to reflect upon themselves and their city by investigating the built environment via their hands and minds. This creative method turned the city into a canvas where people literally build their image of the city. Participants are given thousands of small, colorful, vibrant, and tactile objects, which are intended to trigger their connections to the built environment. Green yarn becomes grass, blue poker chips become water, and hair rollers become apartments or office buildings. By using unconventional objects people were forced to be creative in building their vision for a future Raleigh. After the modeling exercise, the participants were asked to summarize what they created.
What we learned
Over the course of four days, the UDC documented the results of the workshops and interactive model building into a video synopsis and the following summary.
Common Themes:
- More downtown living opportunities
- Places for play
- A safe and rich pedestrian environment with public art
- Additional cultural destinations
- More urban open space
- More employment opportunities
- Animal friendly
- Bike Friendly
- More entertainment venues
- High quality architecture
More specific suggestions:
- Grocery store downtown
- Interactive water feature
- A park on Dix Hill
- All Four Squares restored (except the governor's mansion)
- Farmers Market on more than one day
- Outdoor movies
- More retail stores
- Hacker space
- Artistic bike racks everywhere
- Keep the downtown Post Office
- An independent bookstore
- A renovated warehouse for multiple black box theaters
- Buskers
- Shade trees
- Movie theater
- More museums

3 Ways You Can Conquer Customer Price Fixation
By Jeff Shore
Salesperson: "Welcome, and thanks for stopping by."
Customer: "What's your price?"
Salesperson: "Well, we will certainly get to that. How's your day going?"
Customer: "What's your price?"
Salesperson: "Okay, I'll be happy to answer that but can I ask you a few questions first?"
Customer: "What's your price?"
Salesperson: "Well, we actually have several options at various price points – from $ to $"
Customer: "Your prices are too high."
What is it about customers that causes them to fixate on price? I mean, you have a great product and outstanding service – don't they care about these things?
Many factors are actually at play in this situation. But for this discussion, we'll look at three key issues, all of which come in the form of cognitive biases – or mental inclinations.
Conquering Price Fixation
1. Defer the price conversation until after establishing value
The single biggest problem with price discussions in the sales conversation is when they occur too soon in the process. The earlier you talk about price, the less likely you will get the sale. Did you catch that? The earlier you talk about price the less likely you will get the sale.
Why is this the case? Two reasons…
First, an early price discussion has no value basis. Without a sense of the intrinsic value of the product, any price conversation is simply speculative. I'm discussing the price of an undefined concept.
Second, early price conversations connect the customer to their logical/analytical brain. That's a problem, because purchase decisions take place much more strongly in the emotional side of the brain. This is an extremely powerful characteristic of the purchase process!
The one-word strategy: defer.
You simply cannot get into a detailed price discussion until after the customer has ascertained and shown an appreciation for the product.
2. Separate intrinsic value from the price discussion
My wife and I recently purchased a new mattress. We narrowed it down to two models. Choice A: The Really Expensive Model. Choice B: The Really, Really Expensive Model. She was favoring Choice A; I was favoring Choice B.
I asked her a simple question: if both mattresses were free, which would you want to sleep on every night? I was certain this tactic would cause her to select Choice B…alas I was WRONG!
The strategy here is to separate the product's value from any price discussion. The question would sound something like this:
"We'll discuss the price in a few moments. But for now just tell me whether you believe this solution will work for you."
3. Tie the price conversation to a purchase decision
I had previously suggested a one-word strategy to deal with the price discussion: defer. But defer until when?
I recommend deferring the price discussion until you can connect it with the purchase decision.
When you are ready to discuss the price (that is, when value is established), begin the price discussion with these words: "Should you decide to move forward with a purchase, let's talk about the price."
The idea is to send a powerful message to the customer. You want to talk about price? I want to talk about a purchase. Let's do both.
To be sure, the price debate will never go away. You cannot eliminate it; but you can manage it.
And when you manage it effectively you will find a mutually beneficial strategy to help your customer accomplish their mission.

From the best-selling author of Persepolis comes this gloriously entertaining and enlightening look into the sex lives of Iranian women. Embroideries gathers together Marjane's tough-talking grandmother, stoic mother, glamorous and eccentric aunt and their friends and neighbors for an afternoon of tea drinking and talking. Naturally, the subject turns to love, sex and the vagaries of men.
As the afternoon progresses, these vibrant women share their secrets, their regrets and their often outrageous stories about, among other things, how to fake one's virginity, how to escape an arranged marriage, how to enjoy the miracles of plastic surgery and how to delight in being a mistress. By turns revealing and hilarious, these are stories about the lengths to which some women will go to find a man, keep a man or, most importantly, keep up appearances.
Full of surprises, this introduction to the private lives of some fascinating women, whose life stories and lovers and will strike us as at once deeply familiar and profoundly different from our own, is sure to bring smiles of recognition to the faces of women everywhere–and to teach us all a thing or two.
In Embroideries, a memoir of one intensely ribald all-female tea party -- pray it was a composite! -- Satrapi's gift for masterful, outrageous storytelling is indisputable. It's tempting to ascribe her tale's power to her ear for sensational gossip: Virtually every page of Embroideries leads up to or pays off with a disclosure that could make a roomful of "Sex & The City" writers blush. Who'd have thought that behind Iran's closed doors the conversation would be as wholesome as "American Pie"? But it's an entirely different shock value that makes reading Satrapi such a joy -- the shock of discovering a new voice bringing new stories to the table, playing by new rules, and pulling it off like an old master.

Observations of a librarian and quiltmaker who values the connections between and among people and organizations.

DWM: auction results, a new raffle quilt, and blocks to play with
Here is what became of the red and green Ohio Star blocks I posted for DWM last week. It turned out bigger than I anticipated -- 78 x 90. I had to buy the green fabric for the setting triangles and borders.
You'd think that there would have been something suitable in the red and green stash. (The picture shows reds and greens that are 1/2 yd and larger. I have fat quarters (whole and pieces) in another place.)
Or, failing that, in the Christmas stash.
But I'm pleased I talked myself out of being stingy. The green print works that way I envisioned.
I went to three estate sales and got these towels -- just .75 each. The Christmas/New Year and the cutwork pieces have never been used.
Nancy-near-Philadelphia hosted a swap of Lady of the Lake blocks in blue batik/white-on-white. Here are the blocks I received. (Two blocks need some reorientation!) I'm not sure how many blocks I will add or how I will set them. For the time being I will just admire them.
I'm linking up with other quiltmakers for Design Wall Monday at Judy's Patchwork Times.
8 comments:
Oh I SO want to make a Lady of the Lake someday - I love yours in blues!!! It's on my short-list :) Noteworthy turned out beautiful - it should have gone for much, much more. And I agree - that green is perfect for your stars - it makes them sparkle!ReplyDelete
nann....congrats on your raffle quilt response! and i love the LOTL blocks...sooo gorgeous!ReplyDelete
The green is perfect for your stars quilt. Love your Lady of the Lake blocks. What a nice variety of blues! Congrats! on your auction quilt. It's beautiful.ReplyDelete
Isn't amazing how we have so much stash but never "just the right fabric"...puzzling!?ReplyDeleteReplies
If we never bought fabric on the speculation of "someday" use then we wouldn't have stashes, would we?Delete
Nice to hear of the results of the Auction for your quilt. That was a fairly low bid. Lucky Winner of the quilt. I love the stars floating in the Green.ReplyDelete
The Ohio Star blocks look great. You got just the right green to set them off to advantage.ReplyDelete
Congratulations on the $300 earned for the chamber orchestra. You were so right to buy the green for the stars. It looks great with the stars. On to lady of the lake.ReplyDelete
Thanks for stopping to read my blog. I can't respond to every comment, but be assured that I appreciate each one.

How to handle sidebar
Hi I have a little problem with sidebar.
I have created a widget right sidebar and It works fine in my blog page where I use the default template.
Then I have create a custome template, that displays some data I retrieve from database.
In this page the right sidebar is displayed on the left part of the page: I think because there are not any "real" content, so It will displayed on the left side.
So How I can handle this without modifing the CSS? Is there a way perhaps to create an "empty" content in which I displayed the data from database? In this way the sidebar will be displayed in right side I suppose.

'When Sarah Deacon's new relationship comes to an unexpected end, she heads straight for the one place she can always find no-strings comfort—her neighbor's bed. Charlie, who's made it clear sex is all he wants, is only too happy to oblige.
'Hot sex with a gorgeous surfer any time she's single and in the mood? Oh, yeah. She's all signed up for that course.
'Charlie Hudson knows he's all wrong for the sexy geneticist. After all, what could a long-haired school dropout have in common with a classy academic? Nothing…except maybe a burning desire for her that just won't quit no matter how often they have sex.
'Sensing the breakup has damaged her self-worth, Charlie cooks up a plan to introduce her to three "appropriate" men who'll show her she's the most beautiful woman in the world. But when his matchmaking begins to work too well, he realizes there's only one thing worse than not having her in his bed.
Losing the chance to make her his forever.'

The Area Around Challan Hall
Lune Valley
The Lune Valley - between the picturesque town of Kirkby Lonsdale and the historic city of Lancaster - is an area of outstanding natural beauty, where the River Lune meanders between ancient villages, historic churches and winding lanes with sweeping views of the Forest of Bowland and Yorkshire Dales.
Levens Hall
Levens Hall dates back to the 1590s. Now it is one of the finest stately homes in south Cumbria, containing furniture, paintings, one of the best examples in Europe of Spanish leather wall coverings, the earliest English patchwork, Wellingtoniana, clocks and miniatures. A major attraction are the Topiary Gardens, which were laid out in 1694. The Hall is close to Milnthorpe and has a lovely tearoom.
Leighton Moss RSPB Reserve
The Leighton Moss RSPB Reserve is one of the few remaining places in the country where the rare Bittern and Bearded Tit are resident, and other 'twitchers' favourites, like the Osprey, are often seen. Otters also breed here and can often be seen at dusk playing in the silvery meres. In recent years, the marshes surrounding Lake Hawes Water (which Challan Hall overlooks) have been the home of nesting Marsh Harriers, and booming Bitterns can often be heard.
Leighton Moss and Gait Barrows Nature Reserves
The immediate locality of Challan Hall is a nature lover's paradise. The area is noted for the beauty of its landscape, with luxuriant woodlands, limestone cliffs and 'pavements' with many rare plants, trees and wildlife, for example, the UK's rarest plant, The Lady's Slipper Orchid. Within this relatively small area are some of the highest concentrations of high quality woodland path walks in England and undoubtedly the most beautiful coastal scenery in the North West. From the local high points are superb views of distant hills, particularly over the bay towards the Cumbrian mountains.
Gait Barrows Nature Reserve
Gait Barrows Nature Reserve, surrounding the house, was established in 1977 principally to protect one of the most important areas of limestone pavement in Britain, which is of exceptional botanical interest. The reserve now includes Lake Hawes Water which is interesting for several reasons.
Morecambe Bay
Enjoy the walk from Challan Hall to Jenny Brown's Point - the ideal spot to get a panoramic view of Morecambe Bay. Continue along wonderful coastal paths which take you from Silverdale to Arnside, with amazing sunsets. On the reed beds fed by the Morecambe Bay tide watch the masses of migrating birds. In the autumn vast swathes of starlings can be seen at dusk creating the most incredible - almost mercurial - pictures in the sky. Care needs to taken when walking on the Morecambe Bay Sands. Frequent guided walks across the sands are led by Cedric Robinson 'The Queen's Guide to the Sands', who was appointed the 25th Guide of the Sands by the Queen in 2009.
Windermere and the Lake District
Challan Hall lies right on the border between Lancashire and Cumbria - a mere stone's throw from the Lake District National Park. Enjoy a casual, 25-minute drive to Windermere - the most popular of the southern lakes in the Lake District. (Photo © Abbasi1111 - Link)
Leighton Hall
Leighton Hall is only a couple of miles from Challan Hall. In its impressive setting, Leighton Hall is the home of the famous Gillow family - well known furniture makers, examples of whose work can be seen in the Hall.
Click on the link below to see a map of the area illustrating the proximity of Challan Hall, Siverdale to these places of special interest.
For further details about the Silverdale area see www.visitlancashire.com.
For more things to do in the area, please see our Activities page.
Arnside and Silverdale have been declared an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

Busker of Natchez
- Artist: J.P. Shehan
- Format: CD
- Release Date: 9/23/2008
|your cart is empty
Pat\'s love of music, art, history, and his southern roots brought about the creation of this CD. Always involved with music and art, it was just in the last few years that he explored the 19th century for his inspiration. In the 60\'s and 70\'s his music was rock and roll and his art was fantastic realism/surrealism. Most recently he painted in a classical realist style and honed his skills on the banjo. He created his character, The Busker, and began greeting tourists from the riverboats docked at Natchez Under the Hill. Pat recorded the music for this CD in 2007, and began the self portrait depicting the Busker for the cover in June of 2008. He succumbed to cancer before it was completely finished. His passion for music, art, life, and love will carry on through the many paintings and the recordings he has left behind.

The bicycle crank is one of the most important parts of your bicycle. If the crank is not functioning properly then the bicycle is not going to function properly too. There are quite a few other parts that can malfunction while the bicycle runs smoothly, but the bicycle crank is not included on that list. Therefore, it is imperative that bike owners know exactly what needs to be done in order to properly replace the bicycle crank whenever necessary.
This may seem to be a very complicated procedure. However, in most cases, professional assistance is not necessary as long as one knows what they are doing and has the tools needed to do the job right the first time around. Fortunately, all of the tools that are needed are currently available on eBay, and this guide has been developed to walk you through the entire process step by step.
Use a Crank Puller
Many people have complained about needing to use a crank puller in order to replace their bicycle crank. There have even been articles and blogs published and posted online that walk bicycle owners and repair persons through the process of being able to replace a bicycle crank successfully without using a crank puller.
Crank pullers are specifically designed to be the most efficient and effective tools that can be used when removing any type or size of bicycle crank. Even though there may be a few additional steps that need to be followed when using this particular tool, it is still the safest and most efficient method to use.
In most cases, there are two types of people that will be working on their bicycles and completing this necessary replacement. The chart below reflects these two types along with whether or not using a crank puller is necessary based on those types.
Beginner / Amateur
Limited or no previous experience with working on bicycle repair projects
First-timer when it comes to replacing bicycle cranks and other major repair work on bicycles
Using a crank puller should be a requirement for beginners and amateurs based solely on their lack of experience
Expert / Professional
Extensive experience with working on bicycle repair projects
Professional expert at bicycle repairs that is knowledgeable and able to successfully complete work with very few errors
Using a crank puller is still the recommended choice, regardless of the level of experience. However, professional experts are the only ones that should have the choice as to whether or not one will be used.
Preparing the Bicycle for Crank Replacement
The first big step of replacing a bicycle crank, after having all of the necessary tools readily available, is to prepare the bicycle for this particular project. Most people and professionals choose to start with the crank arm on the right side. Therefore, as this guide explains, each stage of the replacement process, the scenario that will be used to explain each step will be based on this same exact starting point.
- Remove the chain from off of the chain ring
- Place it on the shell of the bottom bracket
- Use the proper tool to take off the crank bolt cover (also known as the dust cover.)
There are a variety of different tools that can be used to remove this cap. If an Allen wrench or screwdriver is available, then feel free to use either of those tools. However, in most cases, a nice-sized coin will do the trick as well.
Working on the Crank Arm
The next stage of bicycle crank replacement requires you to work specifically on the crank arm of the bicycle. The nut (or bolt) will need to be removed carefully and efficiently from the crank arm. Most people forget to complete this step until much later on when they are trying to wrench the crank puller and cannot figure out why it is not working properly. The crank bolt has to be completely removed before doing anything further.
There are different types of bolts that are used, in most cases, including:
- 14mm
- 15mm
- 16mm
- Allen head
Make sure that the proper tool is readily available to remove the bolt carefully without stripping it. Do not forget to check for a washer, which is normally found inside of the crank, because that will need to be removed as well (if one is present).
Analyse the Pieces of the Puzzle
The next stage of this replacement project is many times compared to putting together a jigsaw puzzle. You need to make sure that all of the pieces go together properly instead of becoming mismatched and damaged accordingly. Several of the steps that need to be taken at this point include:
- Check the crank puller for the proper sizing
- Examine whether the crank arms are secured by nuts or bolts
- Test it to make sure that everything lines up properly
- Lube the mating area and spindle sufficiently, but not excessively
Do not forget to check for either nuts or bolts on the crank arms, because this will be the determining factor of what type of crank puller you will need to use. Having the right crank puller for the wrong nuts or bolts (or vice versa) will not end very well in any scenario.
The next steps will primarily be focused on the centre part of the actual tool.
- Unscrew it as far out as it can possibly go
- Thread the outer part of the tool into the arm of the crank
- Make sure that it is threaded completely
- Tighten it by using a wrench to ensure that it is secured
Many people think that they can skip the step of tightening their threading with a wrench, but this is essential in order to prevent any future trip hazards or bicycle accidents that are caused by the threads being ripped out.
Finishing Up the Replacement
If you have made it to this stage, then you should feel excited because the end is almost near. Check all of the work that has been completed up to this point to make sure that no step has been missed all together or done incorrectly.
- Tighten the inner portion of the tool into the part that was screwed into the crank
- Do not stop tightening until the point when the crank will eventually pop of
Many people seem to be thoroughly confused about this particular step, because of not being able to crank it hard and efficiently enough to get to this point. If you are having difficulty, position the wrench arm along with the crank so that they can be squeezed together for additional leverage. Another great idea would be to place a pipe over the wrench's end for even more leverage. Most people do not just happen to have a pipe lying around, so the squeezing option may be the best route to take.
- Pull off the crank arm
- Remove the tool completely from the bicycle
- Take a deep breath and start with the first step on the left side now
Even though replacing a bicycle crank may seem to be a very difficult process, it can easily be accomplished with the right tools, the right time and the right person. Do not forget to use a crank puller whenever this type of replacement becomes necessary. Follow the steps that are provided within this guide very closely, because each step outlines everything that you need to know in order to get the job done right the first time around and without any further complications.
There are many other traditional stores and websites that you can explore for competitive prices, but do not forget that eBay is a great place to purchase the various tools and other types of equipment that you need to continue enjoying your beautiful bicycle for many years to come.

The Best Thing You'll Read About The New 'Tomb Raider' Today
Noah J Nelson on Friday, Mar. 22nd
Some people say video games can't be art.
Rhea Monique, writing for her blog Hellmode, offers this stunning account of her experience of the new Tomb Raider that pretty much blows that assertion out of the water and then some:
Against my will, at a complete surprise, it made me relive something that I had spent most of my teenage years forcing out of my head; the smell of the shed, the way the air was so cold, and the way my throat burned for hours after the attack as I sat in the street afraid to move—afraid for my life.
Be warned: this is some very personal, very graphic writing. Not for the faint of heart or those still traumatized by their own scars.

With Larry Weaner
All too often we design our gardens and landscapes with static compositions of carefully placed and managed plants. But our approach can be more dynamic—and arguably more rewarding—by building upon ecological processes as well as plants' innate tendencies to reproduce and proliferate. Using examples from client projects and his property, Larry Weaner illustrates how this organic, give-and-take approach to design can result in low-maintenance, beautiful landscapes that marry human intent with the patterns and processes of nature.
Copies of Garden Revolution: How Our Landscapes Can Be a Source of Environmental Change, which Larry coauthored with Thomas Christopher, will be available for purchase and signing after the lecture.
Larry Weaner has been creating native landscapes since 1977. His firm, Larry Weaner Landscape Associates, has a nation-wide reputation for combining ecological restoration with fine garden design. The firm's work has received numerous awards and been featured in Garden Design, American Gardener, and Landscape Architecture Magazine. Larry founded the New Directions in the American Landscape conference and recently coauthored Garden Revolution: How Our Landscapes Can Be a Source of Environmental Change (Timber Press, 2016).

text: Hello everyone. Im about 90% sure that i finally stumbled apon some oak today but since i have never cut any im not 100% sure. There is not a whole lot to go own from the pics because the tree has been down for at least 3 years so no bark or leaves. The smell is the only thing that has me so sure unless there is another tree that has that smell. Grain looks right and it splits good but not as easy as ash so that kinda means its not red elm which i do get a decent amount of. There is about 2 inchs of punk but the center is still very solid so i couldnt pass it up. I had to drag it up about a 30 foot hill so i hope it was worth the work. Still about 2 truck loads left but this was my second load today and those big rounds kicked my butt. If it is oak it will be the first in the 20 plus cords of wood i have already.
