Land Rover BAR - Ben Ainslie Racing
Working with Land Rover BAR was undoubtedly one of our proudest moments. In the run up the prestigious Americas Cup, Land Rover BAR asked us to up-cycle their old sales and advertising banners into pencil cases, wallets and make-up bags as gifts for sponsors and guests at their high-profile events. To be in keeping with their sustainability programme the use of 'new' materials were to be kept to a minimum. We designed and sourced the woven labels in accordance with their branding guidelines and produced the self-adhesive labels in-house.
Project 2 for Land Rover BAR was to up-cycle one of their old sails into 80 large shoppers 60 small shoppers, 150 pencil cases and 10 8ft cushions for a hospitality boat.
HCP Posters
HPC required 48 A1 and 48 A2 posters from 11 different designs across 2 internal communication campaigns. We recommended a self-adhesive repositionable wall paper that can be instantly applied, it requires no mounting or framing and it can be easily removed for the next application.
RS Sailing
RS Sailing are just one of the many organisations that have used our e-commerce website to make their own personalised range of products available to their members. RS Sailing have carefully selected a range of sail cloth bags to personalise across their different classes of boat. Each member can personalise their chosen product with their name, boat name and boat number. There is no outlay for them and the products are totally unique!
Experimenting with new material and processes is what we enjoy the most. This full colour printed canvas bag was designed and produced to add to The Old Salt Lofts' bag collection. By combining photographic images and design elements this fun and exciting bag was created. We commissioned pieces of canvas to be printed in this full colour design before the bags were manufactured in our workshop. This versatile printing process opens us up to a whole world of opportunities particularly in the world of corporate branding.
The British Sailing Team required 20 wash bags for their 'Sail for Gold' Ball before the Olympics in Rio, 2016. Each bag was branded up with the British sailing team logo and over-sized 'GBR' in either red or blue lettering.
Fox's Marine
Fox's Marine Commissioned 50, A5 ring binder sleeves made from recycled sail cloth for the Oyster World Rally 2017. Each sleeve required pockets for business cards, leaflets and a pen holder. They were personalised with each entries' boat name, Fox's Marine logo and trimmed with matching navy webbing.
We have been working with Rannoch Adventure since 2012 producing bespoke covers, pockets and bags for their transatlantic rowing boats. They often require the combination of recycled and technical materials across a range of applications. They also require each product to be branded with their logo.
We have been working with Oyster Marine since 2011 producing shoppers for their regattas. The shoppers are embroidered on the front pocket with their logo, regatta name, date and sponsors logo. They like to order 45-60 bags at time, which are often sent around the world.
Oyster Marine also offer a range of Ragbags products on their website for sale as promotional merchandise.
Onward Trading
The home of the first recycled sailcloth quilted directors and deckchair chair slings. Onward Trading, producer of luxurious teak furniture asked Ragbags to come up with a design to compliment their unique range of outdoor furniture. Ragbags is proud to offer them exclusivity to this range, they can be found at www.onwardtrading.com
Our canvas sports bag featured in the busy, fast paced environment of the online gift retailer Firebox. During its time there sold 157 units. The bags were ordered online and supplied directly to the customer as a "drop ship" agreements
"We have sold 157 with only a few returns (about 5%) which is awesome for a personalised product *claps*"
J Banks, Firebox
Colman Coyle
Colman Coyle, a well known firm of solicitors based in London, with a heart for sailing, commissioned 6 Crew bags for their staff members.
The Green Blue
The Green Blue is the joint environment programme created by the British Marine Federation and Royal Yachting Association. Their top concern is respecting the environment so they were keen to incorporate the recycled sailcloth collection and the recycled advertising banner bags into their projects. They were also the inspiration for Ragbags developing the Recycled Adverting banner collection. Thank you Jane!
Genoa Black
Commisioned recycled sailcloth bags for each of their staff members They were to be embroidered with their company logo and name with an oversized GB on the reverse!
Helford River Boats
Helford River boats embraced the personalised hoddies and customised the design to their location and branding with great effect. They also stock a selection of the recycled sailcloth collection in "Sarah's Shop at the Beach" in Helfords Passage.
Clubs and Associations
Gasprom International Dragon World Championships 2014.
Working closely with the organisers of the event we produced a range of promotional products which included 85 document wallets, 25 belts and 10 shoppers/holdalls.
Oyster World Rally
Oyster Marine commissioned 65 'Crew bags' specifically for their World Rally, 2013-2014
Designed form scratch and branded with the prestigious World Rally logo to match their existing range.
Endeavour Championship
The original belt idea was developed as a result of our involvement with the Endeavour Championships. We were given the challenge to design a gift that enthusiastic young dinghy sailors would be proud to own.
Team Oppy
120 "Team Oppy" swim bags were produced for their summer regatta. They chose new sailcloth as the bags were all required to be identical with a tag for the children to write their name.
Royal Corinthian Yacht Club
The RCYC were looking to update their club insignia and as a result developed a range of items they thought their club members would like.

Paul Lewis has a sharp, ominous article in this weekend's Guardian about the misgivings some prominent Silicon Valley inventors are feeling over what they've created. Alumni from Google, Twitter, and Facebook worry that the products they helped design and market are having dire side effects, creating a society of compulsive, easily manipulated screen junkies.
Lewis describes how seemingly small design elements ended up having big effects on people's behavior, from Facebook's introduction of the Like button (a little dose of "social affirmation" that proved addictive to sender and receiver alike) to the company's decision to switch its notification icon from the color blue to the color red (turning it from an unobtrusive reminder to an eye-grabbing "alarm signal"). Both the Like button and the red notification icon have become standards in social media apps.
Most illuminating is the story of the downward-swipe gesture used to refresh a feed. It was invented by Loren Brichter for his Tweetie service in 2009 and was adopted by Twitter when the company acquired Tweetie a year later. The "pull-to-refresh" feature has now become ubiquitous. But that raises a question: why does the gesture continue to be used now that it's easy for social media companies to refresh their feeds automatically? The answer is that the tactile gesture is more seductive. Explains Lewis:
Brichter says he is puzzled by the longevity of the feature. In an era of push notification technology, apps can automatically update content without being nudged by the user. "It could easily retire," he says. Instead it appears to serve a psychological function: after all, slot machines would be far less addictive if gamblers didn't get to pull the lever themselves. Brichter prefers another comparison: that it is like the redundant "close door" button in some elevators with automatically closing doors. "People just like to push it." …
"Smartphones are useful tools," he says. "But they're addictive. Pull-to-refresh is addictive. Twitter is addictive. These are not good things. When I was working on them, it was not something I was mature enough to think about. I'm not saying I'm mature now, but I'm a little bit more mature, and I regret the downsides."
Seemingly benign design tweaks turned into "psychologically manipulative" features because they were introduced into businesses that make their money by encouraging compulsive behavior. The more we poke and stroke the screen, the more data the companies collect and the more ads they dispense. Whatever the Like button started out as, it was quickly recognized to be the engine of a powerful feedback loop through which social media companies could track their users and monetize the resulting data. "There's no ethics," former Googler Tristan Harris tells Lewis.
Even the prominent venture capitalist Roger McNamee, an early investor in Google and Facebook, is feeling remorse:
[McNamee] identifies the advent of the smartphone as a turning point, raising the stakes in an arms race for people's attention. "Facebook and Google assert with merit that they are giving users what they want," McNamee says. "The same can be said about tobacco companies and drug dealers." …
McNamee chooses his words carefully. "The people who run Facebook and Google are good people, whose well-intentioned strategies have led to horrific unintended consequences," he says. "The problem is that there is nothing the companies can do to address the harm unless they abandon their current advertising models." … But McNamee worries the behemoths he helped build may already be too big to curtail.
Lewis's article happened to appear on the same day as my Wall Street Journal essay "How Smartphones Hijack Our Minds." It's a telling coincidence, I think, that the headline on Lewis's piece is so similar: "'Our Minds Can Be Hijacked': The Tech Insiders Who Fear a Smartphone Dystopia." It's been clear for some time that smartphones and social-media apps are powerful distraction machines. They routinely divide our attention. But the "hijack" metaphor — I took it from Adrian Ward's article "Supernormal" — implies a phenomenon different and more insidious than simple distraction. To hijack something is to seize control of it from its rightful owner. What's up for grabs is your mind.

Every year, like a good citizen of our fine town, I visit the public library and sign up for the summer reading club. (It has nothing to do with getting a free meal from Noodles and Company...Ok, it totally does.)
Here are the books I've read so far:
The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society by Mary Ann Shaffer and Annie Barrows
The Gift Giving Handbook for the Inept Man by Timothy B. Schnabel (Funny to read from a woman's perspective, but has some good points in it.)
Manners by Kate Spade
I should mention that when I went to turn in my progress report after reading the Inept Man and Manners books, the librarian took one look at my two children and gave me a comment that said to me, "You clearly are lying because you have two children and there is no way you read two books in one week." I replied, "Yeah, spending 6 hours in the car does wonders for getting your reading list done." Yeah...she looked embarrassed.
Here are the ones that are on my nightstand (or piano bench that is next to our bed) waiting for me to read:
Bringing Up Girls by Dr. James Dobson (The first two chapters are good!)
Sarah's Key by Titiana de Rosnay (Haven't cracked the cover.)
If you have a book to suggest, post a comment!

Crafty Gals Corner ~ Challenge # 109 ~ Using Shades Of Red
Good Morning,
I am so excited to announce that I am one of the newest members of the Crafty Gals Corner Design Team. My first project was to use Melonheadz images and create something using the color red. I have used these images before and had so much fun working with them. So I was excited to work with them again. So much so, that I made three cards and not just one.
All are considered Clean and Simple cards. I hope you like them. Do you have a favorite?
6 comments:
CONGRATULATIONS and WELCOME to the team Kimberly, looking forward to have exiting and creative adventures with you :)ReplyDelete
ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS cards - LOVE them ALL! I think the 1st one is my favourite, she looks wonderful popping up at the top, I really like how you have layered here with the mats too!
What did you use to colour these cuties?
What a lovely assortment of cards, Kimberly! Love the card designs you used as well as all the pretty papers.ReplyDelete
Lena - DT
Great cards, Kimberly! I love them all, but the little girl peeking over the top of the first card was sooo creative! I'm so glad you're part of the team!ReplyDelete
You got on such a creative and fun roll with Melonheadz. Her images are so fun to play with. And again, I agree with Jeanie. That little girl is precious peeking over the top. Great Crafting!ReplyDelete
I love the monkey card the best! It is so cute and the phrase is perfect. Thank you for sharing.ReplyDelete

Marty Center Senior Fellow Symposium
by Betty M. Bayer
Thursday, May 15, 4:00pm
Swift Hall Common Room
Betty M. Bayer will deliver her Martin Marty Center for the Advanced Study of Religion Senior Fellows Symposium:
"Endings Without End: When Prophecy Fails and the Rise of New Age Spirituality and Cognitive Dissonance."
A reception will follow.
Professor Bayer is Professor of Women's Studies at Hobart and William Smith Colleges, a Martin Marty Center Senior Fellow for 2013-2014, and a very close friend of Shimer College.
Bayer's current project is a history of the renowned 1956 book When Prophecy Fails by social psychologists Felon Festinger, Henry Reicken, and Stanley Schachter and its place in the longer and larger history of debate amongst religion, psychology, spirituality and science on the soul or psyche. Situated in mid-1950s America, When Prophecy Fails enters the scene amidst cybernetic science, a time of reframing religion to become "newly psychological" (Ellwood, 1997), a shift in psychology toward cognition and away from behaviorism, and the stirrings of new age spirituality. The book as the theory it introduces thus marks a critical turning point in the long history of interplay amongst psychology, religion, science, and spirituality.
The Martin Marty Center encourages advanced research in the diverse disciplines of the study of religion. Each year, the Center hosts fellows under a variety of programs. Senior Fellows are scholars from around the world, typically on leave from their home institutions. They situate their research within a broader cultural frame of reference, bringing their perspectives to bear on religious questions facing the wider public. They do so in the Marty Seminar, in which they present their work and critically discuss the presentations of other fellows, and by delivering a Marty Center symposium.

Social media aren�t just a way for people to pass time or a free form of advertising. They�ve become a way for law enforcement to reach out to the community and to conduct investigations.
At least two local police departments � Beaver and Franklin Township � have signed up for Twitter accounts along with some volunteer fire departments. Twitter users post messages of 140 or fewer characters for followers to read.
One police department that has made frequent use of the site is Franklin Township.
Sgt. Brian Speer said police were discussing with township supervisors how to get more information out to the public, and they decided to give Twitter a try.
�We�re doing well getting stuff out there,� Speer said. He said he�s been using the site to put out news as well as public safety tips.
Speer, who is responsible for writing the department�s tweets, said so far he�s gotten positive feedback on the effort. �I had a resident who came in and shook my hand and thanked me for the information,� he said.
That�s not to say the new tool hasn�t had a glitch.
Speer said the department has had a few
problems with people trying to report immediate public safety issues via Twitter and stressed that people should not use Twitter to make reports.
The department cannot monitor its Twitter account 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and police often need more information than can be provided in a tweet. Speer said anyone who needs police assistance or has a public safety concern should call 911.
While people cannot make reports to the police via text message and social media just yet, Beaver County Emergency Services Director Wes Hill said the technology is evolving to the point that it will be possible.
Hill said the next generation of 911 technology will allow dispatchers to monitor social media sites and take reports via text message. Exactly when that technology will be available in Beaver County is unclear, he said.
Though the 911 center does not have a Twitter account, someone has set up a site revolving around the emergency services calls that go out over scanners. For example, on Feb. 4 the account holder tweeted that firefighters were responding to heavy smoke in the area of 115 Dano Drive in Ohioville.
Hill said that Twitter account is not affiliated with the county.
Beaver County District Attorney Anthony Berosh said authorities use social media such as chat rooms, Facebook and Twitter for investigations.
�It�s amazing what people say on those things,� Berosh said. He said sometimes people make what he calls �virtual confessions� on social media sites.
If someone goes missing, often one of the first places investigators look is Facebook, Berosh said. He said they look to learn about the missing person and see whether there was any indication of what was going on in that individual�s life that could have contributed to the disappearance.
Social media also have led to arrests. In October, the Penn State-Beaver campus was shut down after police said threats that referenced the Virginia Tech shootings were made against the campus via Twitter. Police said the Twitter account belong to Michael Mollett, 21, of Pittsburgh. Police subsequently arrested him and used Mollett�s Twitter messages in a preliminary hearing. Mollett is scheduled for trial in March. However, there is a bench warrant out for his arrest because he failed to show for a court date in December.
Social media also have been a very effective in hunting down sexual predators, Berosh said.
With the evolution of technology, sexual predators have taken to sites such as Facebook to find potential victims. But investigators also have been able to use those sites and chat rooms to identify potential predators.
Also, the Federal Bureau of Investigations teaches local police how to investigate cases using computers and how to preserve evidence.

What kind of knitting needles are you?
Stolen from Su, you can take the quiz here.
You are pink aluminum.
Retro, straightforward and fun, you love classic things. If they're 99 cents at Goodwill all the better! You are moved by striking colors and tasty morsels, and you like a stitch-n-bitch session in the sun. Just remember, while you're being kitschy cool, don't get too cold. Ice cubes are best kept in your cocktails, baby!
Quiet day at work…
Day two of testing is done. It went a bit longer than usual, since it was Reading Comprehension and Science. The group I proctor gets accomodations to their testing that includes reading the test aloud, so I have a bit of a sore throat. We did finish before time allotted, so I got in a good 30 minutes of crochet time while the students played on computers to pass the time. I brought two projects to work with me this week, so I can bounce between the two of them if I get bored with one.
I had three more girls ask me for Crochet Club permission slips today. I am going to have to start turning kids away soon enough. The school put a limit of 12 kids for my group, but I'm already up to 16 (21 if I get the outstanding permission slips in). I don't want to, but I want to be able to actually teach. Too many kids make it harder.
The rest of my day's going to be spent in Science Lab with my 6th graders. Should be pretty easy. I haven't gotten an assignment for professional development after school. I'm guessing it will be busy work. Argh.
Week One of Crochet Club…
…a success! I had 16 kids show up, and all of them were able to make a chain by the end of the 90 minutes. I didn't even need to worry about "projects"; they were happy making bracelets and necklaces. Emma showed them how to make a chain with two strands of yarn, and they were all about it. 🙂 The kids actually want to do a crochet-lunch bunch, and and meet on Thursdays, in addition to Mondays. We'll see.
Very much looking forward to next week.
Work Whatnots & Family Fun
I'm up to 16 permission slips back for Crochet Club today. I've asked the clubs advisor if I can split the group into two, and do half on Mondays, and half on Thursdays. Even with Emma helping me out, 16 is a lot of kids for such a hands-on activity. I'm a bit panicy, since I only bought 10 hooks. I brought mine, so I can lend that out.
My school has Stanford Testing this week. One of those lovely fill-in-the-bubble standardized tests. Yeah. It's only week 5 of school, and we're already into this garbage. The kids are shot for the rest of the day. Does this make sense to you – I teach 5th and 6th this year, but they had me with a 7th grade group. The 7th grade Title 1 para took a 5th grade group. Even though I have worked with those 7th graders before (last year), doesn't it seem a bit backward to you? Especially when the 5th grade group involved the student that I work with 1:1, with Asperger's syndrome? Once again, I am left saying, "I would have not made that decision if it were my place." I seem to be saying that a lot this year.
Long week for me this week. Every day at work starts at 7am. Monday's crochet club until 5pm, Tuesday's professional development until 5:15pm, Wednesday's staff meeting until 4:45pm, Thursday and Friday are normal (out at 3:45pm). It's Emma's Nana's last week here in America (she's been here for a month), so Emma and she are taking a coach trip to Boston, probably Wednesday. Saturday is bringing Nana to the airport, then shopping in Wrentham with Emma and Clint. Sunday is moving all of Emma's stuff from the apartment, to my house.
My house is going to be chock-full next week. Aaron's girlfriend Jess lives in New Jersey. She's taking some time off of work, and spending most of October with us. So, we'll have Mom, Dad, Aaron & Jess, Saul, Abe & Rachel, me & Emma. That, and Abe just had a friend move back from Texas, and we jokingly offered a couch to him. Yay 10 people living in 1 house!

Crochet Club
Wow. I've already got 20 permission slips back from kids wanting to do crochet club. Because of ratios, I can only have 12 to a group – even with Emma coming to help me out.
I have this group of girls that I worked with last year, when I brought in my crochet stuff to do at the end of the school year. They can't do Mondays (chorus) – I let them know that if they can get a group of 8 to stay on Thursdays, I'd do a day with them. I ran it by the director here at work, and he was fine with that. Not that it's the #1 factor, but another day of crochet club means more stipend for me. Which is very much needed.
I started on the hair scrunchie that I linked to in my last post…it seems pretty easy to put together. I do like the ideas of lanyards and shoe laces, too! Here are my project lesson ideas:
chain – scrunchies, shoe laces, bracelets, lanyards
sc – wrist bands, head bands, pot holders
hdc – clutches, phone & game cozies
dc – scarves, purses & bags
I also have 5 sessions at the end set aside to work on one continual project. I'm going to talk it over with the kids to see what kind of thing they would want to work on.
Need Ideas for Chain-Stitch Project
Okay. So Crochet Club is officially up and running starting next Monday. I have it pretty much set what I want to do, project wise. I'm just looking for ideas on what to "make" the first week, when I teach chain stitch, other than the typical snake/necklace/bracelet type thing.
I did come across this: http://crochet.about.com/library/blchscrunchiephoto.htm
But, I have more boys than girls in my group. Ideas, anyone?

I recently visited the General Society of Mechanics and Tradesmen (generalsociety.org) with my colleague Laura DesMoine. Executive Director Victoria Dengel and Program Director Karin Taylor gave us a tour that provided a fascinating insight into the history of New York City.
The Society's current building at 20 East 44th Street is actually the fifth location of the Society. It was designed by Lamb & Rich in eclectic Renaissance-style for the Berkeley School for Boys. It was purchased by the GSMT in 1899 and almost doubled in size in 1905 thanks to a generous donation from Andrew Carnegie. It is an imposing building, but in a city of imposing buildings it could be missed. When it was constructed, however, The New York Times predicted the building would be the "finest scholastic building in America." In accordance with these lofty goals, the frieze above the door was taken from casts from the Parthenon.

Sometimes you want a change of routine – something different, something new.
So yesterday, as I was doing my usual workout at the gym and deciding what I wanted for lunch before work, I decided on a change from my usual cheese sandwich.
Nestled down an ally way in a part of Perth's CBD that is not traditionally known for its cafés, Toastface Grilliah had a menu that would be a definite improvement on my usual boring lunches.
This joint is based around toasted sandwiches and while this sounds like something that couldn't possibly work (why would you pay for something as simple as a cheese sandwich?), the creative menu is what made me want to buy one of their toasties.
Ranging from the traditional like ham and cheese to the downright strange such as brie and jam as well as more contemporary flavours as pear and blue cheese, I went straight away for the 3 cheeses sandwich.
Having both Swiss and English heritage, a toasted cheese sandwich that included Gruyerre, Emmantel and Cheddar seemed to be a combination to die for and instantly brought back memories of these far away countries.
At $ 7, it is little pricey but worth the trip down memory lane, and a move to sourdough bread or the like would be the icing on the cake.
To compliment my sandwich and to prepare for the eight hour shift that was to come, I ordered a coffee which was well made but lacked flavour and proper caffeine hit that I was looking for.
It defiantly has an unusual menu, quirky vibe and is one of many new venues in Perth's alleys and laneways but I hope that is enough to ensure its continued success.

Exclusive: Gina Loudon celebrates adoptions of special needs children
Sometimes I try to imagine how my life would be if Samuel weren't in it. And, of course, you can't really know, but I can assure you that a whole lot of joy would be missing.
March 21 was World Down Syndrome Day. The date matters. Down Syndrome is a genetic condition in which the person has three copies of the 21st chromosome. That is what makes them special, and also where their challenges lie.
People ask when I knew that I wanted to adopt a special needs child. The answer is the first time I had the honor of meeting and hanging out with them. Their yoke was easy. Most people are complicated.
The conversations always go the same way. People tell me it's cool we adopted Samuel, and that he is lucky to have our family. We don't see it that way. We know that we are blessed to have him. And I think he knows that, too. It shows in his swagger.
The cool thing about Sam is that he fills so many roles.
He teaches us to stop and enjoy things that we would otherwise miss. He teaches us to be happy with how God made us, and to rock it. He teaches us to cry for others, and pray for others. He teaches us about the miracle of adoption, because God adopted us into His kingdom and loves us just as we love Sam. He makes us laugh more. He has the best belly laugh in the world. It's all easy for Sam. We are still learning.
Today, 90 percent of babies with Down Syndrome are aborted. Chances are, you couldn't get a baby like Sam if you wanted one. He's a bona fide endangered species. Do you know how special that makes him?
His adoption agent knows. I called her last week to see if she wanted to help me with a charity I wanted to start to help fund families who want to adopt special needs children. She told me the story of a little boy. She had his story sent to her to try to find an adoptive family. The birth parents didn't think anyone would want him because of his special needs. Despite the fact that hundreds of babies cross Heather's desk each year, this one touched her heart. She went home and told her children about him, and her son decided to name him so he could pray for him.
"His name is Lincoln!," shouted her 7-year-old son. "Because he will do great things."
She and her children prayed for this baby for weeks. She knew the birth parents were leaning toward abortion in their final month of pregnancy, because they were convinced no one would want a special needs child. Heather received the chilling news via email that little Lincoln had died. "Fetal demise," they called it. I call it partial-birth abortion, or cold-blooded murder of innocents. An aberration. A holocaust.
Heather was distraught over Lincoln's death, but as she was crying, she heard that still small voice say, "You're upset because Lincoln had a name. But they all have names."
They all have names.
I searched 10 years for a baby like Samuel to adopt. If only Lincoln's parents had known. There are waiting lists for babies like Samuel and Lincoln. But it doesn't fit well into Planned Parenthood's marketing plan to sell abortions for parents to know that truth about waiting families.
While the statists fight to keep children from playing in La Jolla Children's pool because a seal pup might be bothered by the human children, we engage in a wholesale slaughter of Samuel's kind and more. Where are the "Save the baby humans" shirts for sale?
Some people get it. Birth moms like Caroline, whom I interviewed this week, get it. She says that "adoption is the empowering choice for women." She tells how the couple who adopted her baby, Mark and Bethany, couldn't have kids. She told me tearfully in our interview, "to know that I fulfilled that … that I did something that not even modern science could do …" How often in life do we have those chances?
To Mark and Bethany, Caroline is a hero. She says they are the heroes for raising her little girl, Penelope, with so much love. I say they are both right.
Real heroes today are rare. The real opportunity to be a hero only comes when we face life altering danger. I saw a sign in a store this week that said, "Real heroes don't wear capes. They wear uniforms."
I agree.
But sometimes they wear maternity clothes, too.
My prayer is that more women faced with an unplanned pregnancy, special needs or not, will consider Caroline's "empowering" and heroic choice of adoption. And I am so thankful to Samuel's birth mom as I celebrate March 21 this year.
We take our annual vacation with Samuel's hero birth mom this week. And again, I will find myself fumbling to find the words to say "thank you" to a real hero, and one of my closest friends. And once again, my heart will ache for all of those who don't get it, like Lincoln's parents, who missed such opportunity, and robbed the world of such joy. And once again, I will renew my commitment to do my little part to change that.
They all have names.

The American Scene
of painting by
Gerrit V. Sinclair (1890-1955)
at Richard Norton Gallery
here in Chicago
leading me to ponder the disappearance
of this genre of painting.
Has the American scene itself vanished ?
Or have painters just stopped painting it ?
I suspect it's just that the contemporary artworlds
tend to ignore it.
The highbrow is ashamed of America,
and the middle brow
mostly wants to look at cowboys and Indians.
Don't you love the above scene ?
It's as tight as a Giotto fresco,
but instead of saints on the way to Jerusalem,
it's kids on the way to church, school, or somewhere.
How charming!
I really like this guy,
depicting himself here
in his Paris studio
(he only lived there a year)
He was proud to be painter,
.... and also a father.
This was his view of the Louvre
... as kind of a scary place
where the Addams family might live.
And of course it's scary.
Everything about European history is scary
to a middle class person
from the Midwest
Here he is back at home,
looking at "th Beer Line"
pulling into Milwaukee
What a fine way to pass the day.
and who would know more about a painting class
than the person who spend his entire career
teaching them
(35 years at the Layton School of Art)
Yes -- it's sweet and charming.
But it's not just a corny illustration.
It's energies are resolved.
So it is also a painting.
Here we have Midwesterners at the beach.
A sturdy lot -- not especially sensual
in their near-nudity.
And I'm doubting whether Sinclair ever painted the nude
except here....
where he imagines a policeman looking over his shoulder,
nightstick ready for action
(and the artist is not even looking at the girl,
whose knees are held tightly together)
Another scene
of a nice, clean upper Midwestern city
that might feel just a little oppressive
to it's stalwart citizens
Whatever happened to American Scene painting ?
Whatever happened to museums conceiving themselves
as centers for regional art?
The two questions are the same.

Booked this hotel from booking.com without any deposit needed worth P3980 for 3days and 2nights when we had our quick vacation at puerto princesa.
Why i loved the place? First, the friendly, helpful and accomodating staffs. I got the first flight to puerto princesa and the hotel had their free 2way airport transfer. Without any hassle, i emailed them about my flight details but they arrived late for the pick up but that's okay since they let me check in 6hrs ahead of my check in time without extra charge. I had more time to relax while waiting for my sister's arrival in the afternoon
Two, while searching for the good place to eat for lunch, i asked the front desk if my chosen resto is near the hotel and how much will i pay for the tricycle ride, they answered my question naman and even offer me for a free ride since the hotel van is on it's way to the airport that time. Without any hesitation, i said yes! And they dropped me off to the resto ✔✔
Three, they arranged our island tour.
Four, breakfast buffet is delish and sulit. Big busog breakky that's good for lunch na. Since we're a budget traveler, we really need to supply our tummies with heavy breakfast that will last till the afternoon
Five, eventhough the room is quite small but it's very clean, secured and a/c is working properly with cable flat screen tv, comfy pillows and queen size bed
I really enjoyed my stay here and the locals are really friendly. Superb customer service and highly recommended. Relaxing place to stay with nice swimming pool and cozy lobby area with indoor trees and comfy couches. The hotel is just 5mins away from the airport.

Olivia Palermo's Favourite City for Fashion Inspiration Is…
In a recent interview with Total Beauty, Olivia Palermo describes her personal style as "colourful, eclectic, accessorized, and tailored," shares the summer trends she's most excited for, and reveals her favourite city for fashion. Dying to know her answers? Keep reading!
So what are the Palermo-approved trends for summer? "I was really excited about fringe and tassels last season, and there's been a new take on it. Rebecca Minkoff did a great tassel bag, and Tibi did a great fringe leather skirt. And I love the wide-leg pant look for summer—it's so chic. Frame does a great pair."
When asked if she has a particular style icon, Palermo replied, "I really get my inspiration through my travels and seeing young, stylish girls all over the world. I'm inspired by how they wear things and how they're excited about fashion. I see that more and more on the streets now because I think fashion has become much more mass and commercial. And a lot of that has to do with e-commerce." And the city she dubs her favourite for fashion inspiration? "Tokyo. You see all types of fashion on the street."

Authors Description:
Defamed, Disgraced and Displaced...
Fresh from a career-killing scandal, New York fashion girl, Maya Kirkwood, arrives in San Francisco to reinvent herself as a fine artist. She's offered the opportunity to create an installation at the Silicon Valley headquarters of a hot new tech company. Fabulous, right?
Not so much.
She can't stand Derek Whitley - wunderkind software genius and CEO of the company. Hot as he may be on the outside, inside the man is a cold, unemotional, robotic type. Way too left-brained for her right-brained self.
As Maya and Derek get to know each other, however, their facades begin to crack. She catches her first glimpse of the man behind the superhuman tech prodigy, and he starts to see her as the woman she used to be. But is this a good thing? Once that last secret is revealed, will it bring them closer together or will it tear them apart?
My Review:
Maya was an amazingly strong character. The face that she moved across the country to rebuild her life made her a hero to me. Many women in her position would have taken the defeat and let it run them down but not Maya. I loved that she became a successful artist on the opposite side of the country.
I was a little confused about bringing Maya's dad into the story. The fact that is was what pulled Derek and Maya together was great, but I wish that part of the story would have been more developed. I want to know if they meet again, did she come to forgive him, is she still living with his shadow over her?
Derek was my favorite character. I love that he was standoffish and maybe a little rude at the first meeting of Maya. He was understanding when he found out that she was not Sarah, as first introduced, but Maya. And most importantly he supported and protected Maya when her dad showed up at the party where her big art project was being unveiled. When he didn't let her just walk out of California into the Midwest, he won me over as one of the true good guys.
I enjoyed Masking Maya. I was honored that the author asked me to read her story. I will be telling all my friends and family to check out the story.

|The XX in Chris Twomey's DVD, "The Triumph of XX,"
(still picture above) refers to the XX chromosone which distinguishes the DNA of women from the XY chromosone
in the DNA of men. It evokes the passion of the XX chromosome (female) in its ability to heal a flaw or mutation
in the DNA by recombining and backing up since there are two Xs. Twomey's first presentation at ATOA in 2004,
"Omni Series" explored the myriad potential of the umbilical
cord as a non-controversial source of stem cells for genetic engineering research. As part of her "Madonna" series in 2006
she traced her DNA code, and those of other working mothers, back thousands of years to its origins.
Twomey has had solo exhibitions in NYC, most recently at AC Institute in February (reviewed in the Huffington Post), and innumerable group exhibitions worldwide. Her next notable solo show, entitled "STOLEN GOODS," is premiering at HP Garcia Gallery in NYC. ( Check the gallery's website for the dates.) Twomey has received various awards; CAPS grant, Ford Grant, Experimental TV award, an American Film Institute Directing Internship, among others.
Her newest work will preserve her own DNA, so that it may be cloned at some time in the future after her death. Her cloned body would have no memory of its former life, but this new work asks, if her clone were raised as an amnesia victim, and encouraged to re-learn who she was by viewing the art she had made, is it possible she could be resurrected? The ancient Egyptians believed the spirits of their dead would dwell in the art in their tombs, one day to be reunited with their re-animated bodies after a "journey of millions of years." Twomey's work will test if the time has come that genetic engineering science brings that journey to its conclusion, and allows the spiritual in art to restore her spirit to her genetically resurrected body. Her work will ask, is it possible to achieve physical & spiritual resurrection here on Earth by literally being born again by means of genetic engineering?

B team are Leinster blitz goal-busters!
THERE was Leinster Blitz glory for the Kilkenny ladies Gaelic footballers, but the county went so close to securing a provincial double.
Playing in the first under-14 blitz of the year the county fielded two teams in Carlow recently. The B team claimed the Division Three title while the A team qualified for the Division Two decider but lost out to a physically stronger Westmeath side. The day saw sunshine, rain, thunder and lightning but the one consistent feature throughout was the superb standard of football served up at Carlow GAA grounds.
Kilkenny B hit the ground running when they racked up a 9-1 to 4-4 win over Carlow before moving on to face Louth in the Division Three final.
Hungry for goals, the Kittens proved the Carlow result was not a one-off. Kate Drennan, Tara Clifford, Aine Murphy and Nicole Carter all rattled the net to give Kilkenny a 4-3 to 0-1 half-time lead.
Louth grabbed two goals after the break but further scores from Ciara Deely (1-0), Kate Drennan (1-0) Aine Murphy (1-3) and Rebecca Nevin (0-1) saw Kilkenny win 7-7 to 3-3 and claim the under-14 Division Three title for the third time in four years.
Captain Rebecca Nevin was presented with the Division Three Cup by Leinster president Marie Hickey.
Kilkenny B - Ciara Deeley, Kate Drennan, Aoife Naddy, Rebecca Nevin, Ailish O'Shea, Beth Behan, Izzy Carey, Nicole Carter, Tara Clifford, Ciara Curran, Brianna Mallon, Aoife Moore, Aine Murphy, Jennifer O'Keeffe, Claire Kelly, Ruby Harvey, Christine Caldbeck, Anna Robinson, Laura Tynan.
Kilkenny A were grouped with Dublin B, Offaly and Westmeath. The Cats showed no fear when they faced the mighty Dubs in their opening game where, despite a late Dublin goal, Kilkenny claimed their first win on a 1-3 to 1-1 scoreline.
On a high, Kilkenny scored a similar result in game two, where they withstood a late Offaly fightback to hold on for a 1-6 to 2-1 win. As Westmeath had also secured two wins, and with weather conditions worsening, a straight final was held between Kilkenny and Westmeath.
The sides were level at 0-1 apiece at half-time, but Westmeath made better use of the wind in the second half to claim a 0-6 to 0-1 win and the Division Two title.
Kilkenny A - Aoife Cantwell, Ava Comerford, Saoirse Comerford Liston, Niamh Deeley, Ciara Delaney, Neasa Galwey, Ria Lawson, Emily McCarthy, Caitlin Moore, Danielle Morrissey, Eadaoin Murphy, Aobha O'Gorman, Jenny O'Keeffe, Caoimhe O'Shea, Hannah Scott, Niamh Sheehy, Michelle Teehan, Shauna Valentine, Lauren Valentine, Becky Walsh, Sophie O'Dwyer.
Leinster final
There was disappointment for the under-14s when their Leinster final meeting with Longford was called off at the weekend.
The team were due to face Longford in the provincial decider on Sunday, but were notified by Leinster Council on Friday last that the game would not go ahead. It is hoped that a new date will be arranged for the end of the month.

This document is claimed to to have been discovered in 2002, wedged between layers of old wallpaper being removed from a sixteenth century Roman house on the Spanish Steps then undergoing renovation. Scholars are in accord in expressing deep concerns regarding its authenticity. For that reason it was not included in my book "Tales of the Popes: From Eden to El Dorado", but I post it here as a quasi-historical curio.

Awaken in the Papal four-poster to an immaculate Vatican day. The weather has been infallible recently, or is it only me? Sweep back a lock of hair from the downy cheek of the angel beside me, only to find that it is not Giulia after all, but Maria, her chambermaid. Notum to self: check rostering.
Morning routine with my personal trainer, Brother Rocco. Assume throne after only three push ups and squats due to the rigours of the night before. Issue Papal Bull to stomach to desist from its unholy territorial expansionism.
Papal robing ceremonial, in attendance Brother Joan (undergarments, hygiene and manicure), Brother Fabio (principal frocker), Brother Boccaccio (slippers, silks and mitres).
Light Brunch of Devilled Valencian Larks' Tongues and Grilled Cheeks. Cold as ever, but who wants to risk a tummy ache? The lion's share had been rather too thoroughly tasted by Brother Cantarella. I should probably dispense with him but he is skilled in other areas.
Inspect progress of mural being painted outside my bedchamber of my darling little Giulia clad as the Virgin Mary. Instruct artist to cover up one bosom but make the eyes foxier.
Issue Papal Bull declaring Lucrezia a virgin yet again, and dispatch an epistle to her with God's blessing for the impending birth. In my post scriptum I tell her that papa really does love her, very very much.
Audience in Throne Room with delegation from the sacked city of Capua, devout and humble friars who are collecting alms for the widowed, the injured and the poor of that stricken city. Express my sincere sorrow for the people of Capua, and take into safe keeping the 2000 ducats in collected donations they have carried with them for the poor, scrupulous to provide full and proper receipting for same. They depart delighted at my Papal blessing.
Working cocktails with Cesare to discuss developments in our Romagna campaign, in the wake of his triumphant sacking of Capua. Notice Cesare keeps his back as tight against the wall as I do. Cesare looks quite well for an advanced syphilitic, although his nose could do with subtle repositioning.
Hear confession from the Conclave of Cardinals. Going rates for penances are: Giving a Papal Bribe, 1000 ducats; Taking a Papal Bribe, 500 ducats; Treachery and Deceit, 5 ducats; Fornication, 200 ducats plus the indulgence of one pontifical night with the fallen woman so that the Holy Spirit may enter her too; Gluttony, 500 larks' tongues (Valencian); Covetousness, impounding of coveted item(s) from third party Cardinal. Finish up spot on 5.30, all sinners thoroughly absolved.
Pontifical Power Nap.
Dinner with Cardinal Rotunda. After main course he complains of stomach discomfort and dies early.
Beauty sleep with my darling little Giulia, only when I am rolled off her I discover to my surprise that it's Maria again. Notum to self: priority to sort out rostering.

Wall Street Journal: "U.S. gasoline prices, like prices throughout the advanced economies, are determined by global market forces. It is hard to see how Mr. Obama's policies can be blamed."
Cato Institute: "Is President Obama responsible for spiraling price of gasoline? Republicans say yes, but the facts say no."
How obvious is it that oil prices, set on a world market, are all but impervious to government policies? So obvious that even Rupert Murdoch's WSJ and the Koch-fueled Cato Institute feel compelled to make the case.
The WSJ was responding to Newt Gingrich's claim, "The price of gasoline when Barack Obama became president was $1.89. All of this gigantic increase came from his policies." In its debunking of "Gingrich's Gaseous Argument," The Journal offers an especially telling statistic:
Mr. Gingrich ignores the basic fact about U.S. gas prices: They are largely fixed by the price of crude oil, which is determined by global supply and demand.
When Mr. Obama was inaugurated, demand was weak due to the recession. But now it's stronger, and thus the price is higher.
What's more, producing a lot of oil doesn't lower the price of gasoline in your country. According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, Germans over the past three years have paid an average of $2.64 a gallon (excluding taxes), while Americans paid $2.69, even though the U.S. produced 5.4 million barrels of oil per day while Germany produced just 28,000.
In an essay that appeared in U.S. News & World Report earlier this month, "It's Not Obama's Fault That Crude Oil Prices Have Increased," Cato scholars lay out their case:
Why have gasoline prices increased since the start of the year? The simplest explanation is that the price of crude oil has increased. Specifically, the spot price for Brent (North Sea) crude has increased $16 a barrel since January. Given that there are 42 gallons to a barrel, that works out to a 38 cent increase in the price of a gallon of oil. Spot prices for gasoline trade in New York have increased about 41 cents per gallon over the same time frame. So there you go.
Why is the price of North Sea oil relevant to the price of gasoline in the United States? Well, we import gasoline refined in Europe from North Sea crude. Even though these imports constitute less than 10 percent of U.S. gasoline consumption, they are necessary to satisfy domestic demand and their price sets the market price for all gasoline regardless of whether other cheaper crude sources are used to refine most of our gasoline.
Why is the price of North Sea crude rising? One possibility is that supply is down. North Sea (British) production has been decreasing for some time. During the first quarter of 2007, it was 1.7 million barrels a day, or mbd. By the end of 2011, it was down to 1.1 mbd. Norwegian crude oil production has likewise decreased from 2.7 mbd in the first quarter of 2007 to 2.1 mbd at the end of 2011. And global demand is bidding up the price of crude oil from the North Sea and elsewhere.
Ironically, during the same time period, U.S. crude oil production has marched upward for the first time since 1971. Since the start of 2007, U.S. production has increased by 2.1 mbd. Sure, more domestic oil creates the possibility of fewer refined imports tied to the price of Brent crude, but given that the price of Brent sets the price for crude generally, the result would be more profit for domestic crude producers rather than significantly lower gasoline prices for Americans (not that there's anything wrong with that).
So despite the popular perception of President Obama as anti-oil, domestic oil production is increasing for the first time since the Johnson administration…. Unfortunately, presidents get blamed for world market changes that occur during their time in office … but generally, they do not cause them.
The Cato Institute, originally the Charles Koch Foundation, is in the process of being officially taken back by the Kochs, who I expect may take issue with Cato's rare broken-clock sensibility on issues like this one.
Still, let's enjoy the rare agreement between CATO, the WSJ, and the Center for American Progress:

(CSE: SQA) (OTCMKTS: STNUF) (Frankfurt 01X) ("Stina" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the definitive agreement for the acquisition of Pure Vanadium Corp. ("Pure"). This acquisition supports Stina's long-term objective of becoming North America's first vertically integrated producer of vanadium electrolyte for the energy storage industry.
In July 2017, Stina announced a Letter of Intent with Pure Vanadium Corp., and following a thorough review of the company's technology and other relevant matters a definitive agreement has now been finalized.
"The development of battery technology is progressing rapidly throughout the world with vanadium redox flow batteries being one of the main new technologies for grid-scale energy storage. The combination of our vanadium resources in Nevada and new applications for vanadium in battery technology will progress Stina towards its goal of being a leading vertically integrated producer of vanadium electrolyte," said Brian Stecyk, President & CEO, Stina Resources Ltd.
Pure is a technology company involved in development of vanadium electrolyte for vanadium redox flow batteries used in grid-scale energy storage. Pure holds a portfolio of licenses for the production and sales of vanadium electrolytes. Pure's licenses were granted by the Battelle Memorial Institute ("Battelle"), operator of Pacific Northwest National Laboratory ("PNNL"), a US Department of Energy National Laboratory," located in the State of Washington, says Dusty McKinnon of Pure Vanadium.
The finalization of the definitive agreement and its execution will result in Pure becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of Stina Resources Ltd., and the Company will assume all the assets and obligations owing in connection with Pure's research & development (R&D) and business operations.
The terms of the agreement as outlined in the July 2017 News Release are that Stina will acquire all of the outstanding share capital of Pure in consideration for the issuance of 17,000,000 common shares of Stina to the existing shareholders of Pure. Stina will allocate $250,000, for research and development ("R&D") funding for the continued development and testing of Pure's technology.
About Pure Vanadium Corp.

Philippians 4:6-7 (The Message)
Don't fret or worry. Instead of worrying, pray. Let petitions and praises shape your worries into prayers, letting God know your concerns. Before you know it, a sense of God's wholeness, everything coming together for good, will come and settle you down. It's wonderful what happens when Christ displaces worry at the center of your life.
It seems like things, good or bad, come in threes. So since October I've had two sets of threes: I fell down a flight of steps, on Thanksgiving as I was taking the turkey out of the oven the pan buckled and I spilled hot turkey grease all over me, and then I was in a car accident. The second set: I had to rush my mom to the hospital the Friday before Christmas (thankfully, she was home the same day), after picking up my car at the auto body shop the engine decided to get sick (to the tune of $1,500 inc. rental car fees), and two days before Christmas I unexpected had to put down my cat of ten years. Ho-ho-ho. On the up side, I had a lovely Christmas, I got a B in algebra (a Christmas miracle for sure), and my daughter surprised me with a long weekend visit. I keep trying to count my blessings and look for God's hand in all these things, but don't kid yourself, some days it can really be a challenge and put me in a funk.
So here's a fresh new year and I'm planning for the best, working some resolutions, and walking the new road. Last night after work I walked to my car in the parking lot, put the key in my ignition, and the car sounded/acted just like it did before I had the work done on it. Ugh! But... I was able to drive it over to the dealership, get to Enterprise for yet another rental (since December 5th I've driven about five cars), and go about my merry way. I chose not to go ballistic (always my first reaction), but to say a prayer of thanks for being able to drive the car to the dealership, to be able to afford a rental car, and to get home safely. I'm no Pollyanna, but I am choosing to look at the blessings and trying not to dwell on the junk. Not that I'm above a serious pity party, believe me, but I am just trying to stay calm and focused, realizing the true priorities in life and looking for(and learning) the lessons.
Here's to this not turning into another series of three! I'll keep you posted!

My granddaughter Lauren has just started to crochet. She's left handed but knits right handed. However when I started to teach to crochet her she couldn't use the hook in her right hand, she had to use her left hand. My problem was that although I can knit left handed, I just couldn't crochet with my left hand. So I just had to explain to her how the crochet hook worked and made new loops! She seemed to be able to use it in her own way.
We started off a few weeks ago with just a simple chain & then stitching it in rounds to make a coaster. Then she crochet a chain with two contrasting colours, her idea not mine! We weren't sure what to do with the long chain she made but I suggested she crocheted a chain from it. It turned out really nice & chunky & she used it for to tie her hair.
She wanted to progress so we moved on to double chain, I think that's single chain in USA. Her first attempt with about 20 double chains. It got narrower as she progressed as she was missing out a stitch on each row. It wasn't a problem. I made another matching piece & stitched them together, made a chain to tie it & she had a skirt for Barbie!
I made some crochet food last year which Lauren loved. So we looked at some foodie patterns on the Garnstudio site & she decided she wanted to make a carrot! It was a bit out of her league just yet with all the increasing so I made it for her. Then I made a clementine.
She's certainly got me interested in crocheting again. So much so that I've spent hours looking at some absolutely gorgeous stuff on people's blogs & not just crocheting!
I love Lucy's Blog Attic 24. She has such a great eye for colour & some really beautiful designs. She also gives us an insight into her home and her lifestyle.
Another blog I love is Bunny Mummy Jacquie. Like Lucy she gives us an insight to her daily life with gorgeous photos and colourful designs and tutorial. They are both wonderful at producing tutorials on how to make their designs. Brilliant!
Zjizjipke (I have no idea what this means) is a Dutch site with an English translation, lots of lovely crafty ideas & designs along with some lovely cat photos. This crochet blanket is absolutely beautiful & I would love to have a try at it. However think I'd pop my clogs long before it was finished. She has a tutorial for the squares on the site which I might have a go at to make cushions! I have to be realistic.
Another site I absolutely love is Jenny of elefantz. She has some gorgeous sewing ideas and lots of wonderful free crafty stuff. Her photos and tutorials are fabulous.
Then I went to the Garnstudio website. I buy lots of the DROPS wool at very reasonable prices. Their knitting patterns are wonderful designs but they are not well written if you're used to Patons & Sirdar style patterns. They have some beautiful crochet shawl & blanket patterns. Not sure how well the crochet ones are written as I've only made the food which was OK.
Here's my favourite blanket, Latte Macchiato!
It's not the gorgeous bright colours of some of the ones I've been looking at but I love the muted shades and the different designs of the squares. It could be easily adapted to brighter shades.

Item Description
FOM109 AB Contour Cervical Pillow - Satin
Orthopedic Pillow Uses
Natural placement of the head and neck, accomplished with the many different styles and shapes of Core cervical pillows, can help relieve intense pain by providing natural and correct posturing in supine (back) and side-sleeping positions.
Cervical support pillows are used when a cervical hypolordosis (less than normal curvature of the spine) exists, to prevent hypolordosis, or when cervical spasms or strains occur. These pillows are orthotic devices (apparatus used to align or support) used to help relieve spasms, remove minor tensions and maintain or resume the natural cervical lordotic curve while at rest.
By providing proper neck support, cervical pillows can help with:
- Neck muscle and joint strains and sprains
- Tension headaches
- Whiplash injuries
- Arthritis
- Morning hand stiffness and swelling
- Temporomandibular disorders
- Stiffness
- Snoring (in some cases)
Therapeutic Types of Pillows:
1. Accommodate/Displacement Pillows: Helps relieve pain or discomfort by conforming to and stabilizing an existing condition. Relieves pain or discomfort by conforming to and stabilizing a new or existing injury or condition. Provides comfort, but does little to correct the condition. Typically for short-term use. When a neck injury or condition is acute (serious or to an intense degree, like whiplash or a significant sprain or strain), the healthcare provider's goal is to relieve a patient's pain and discomfort before beginning treatment. What's needed is to stabilize and accommodate the condition before moving forward. The same is true for other neck injuries or at the onset of many common problems which affect the head and neck. Accommodation/Displacement pillows work well at this stage because they conform to the condition and provide immediate comfort.
Examples: Core Deluxe Water Pillow; Core Memory Foam Pillow
2. Orthopedic Support Pillows: Support pillows are designed to help a. correct and b. maintain proper cervical posture/alignment while sleeping by providing the right amount of resistive feedback into the cervical & upper thoracic musculature.
Special Note: Support type pillows are orthotic devices (like a custom orthotic in your shoe) and therefore may take time to get accustomed to. Healthcare providers should give patients proper education regarding the time needed for training the musculature in accepting the pillow. Although some people can react positively to this type of pillow immediately, others may take up to 2 weeks of gradual increased use through the night. Patient should use pillow to waking tolerance and then switch to previous pillow for the rest of the night. Each successive night, patient should increase time support pillow is used through the night.
Examples: Tri-Core Standard; Tri-Core Gentle; Double Core & Double Core Select Pillows
A. Correct: Helps eliminate symptoms by treating the cause of the condition. Helps correct the cause of pain, supports treatment to regain proper function. At this stage, orthopedic pillows are often prescribed to assist in correcting the diagnosed condition and to help the patient regain proper function. Allows tissue to heal functionally. Prepares for the maintenance stage. Corrective pillows can help alleviate headaches; neck muscle and joint strains, arthritis and whiplash discomfort and help restore proper nerve function. Supportive pillows are used in this stage of care.
B. Maintain: Ensures continued good health by helping sustain the body in its proper, natural posture. Complements care to help prevent recurrence/progression. Pillows selected for the Maintain Stage should ensure continued good health by providing proper positioning and helping preserve the natural curvature of the neck and spine. For ideal maintenance, the pillow should provide maximum support and comfort. In fact, most people discover that once the normal curvature of the neck is restored, they crave the comfort of maximum support - the reason supportive pillows have grown more popular. Supportive pillows are used in this stage of care.
3. Combination Pillows: Combination pillows have a quality or an adjustability that allows the healthcare provider and the user to use the pillow though treatment. The pillow has properties that give an accommodative/displacement function and a supportive function.

Top of The Lake Snowmobile Museum Sleds on Display.Page: < 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 >
|1969 Mercury 200 Prototype
|This is a 1969 Mercury model 200 that was fitted with a 599cc 3-cylinder Mercury engine for racing in the non-production USSA classes. This is a 1 of 1 prototype. This style hood was later used for part of the 71 model year. At Rhinelander, WI, Gary Gilbertson won the Hodag 50, a 68 mile cross country race in the non-production class on this 200 Mercury. At Kaukauna, WI, Gilbertson competed in the non-production class II and took first place with a speed of 68.8 over the quarter-mile strip. The motor in the machine is one of the three original engines built for racing and product development.
|1969 Skee Whee SW 711
|The Skee Whee was manufactured in Evanston, IL by F/S Industries. F/S stood for Freedman Seating Company. Literature illustrates that a wheel kit could be used to convert the Skee Whee for summer usage.
|1969 Ski Doo "Puffer"
|This Ski Doo, nicknamed the "Puffer" and given the Lucky #13, was the winner of the inaugural Soo I-500 race, held in Sault Ste. Marie, MI. It was a race that should have never been, but it happened on February 8, 1969. Forty seven snowmobiles and several brave drivers made history proving a snowmobile could run 500 miles in one day. The first race took 13 hours and 42 minutes with no gradings or red flags. The average speed was 36 mph. The three drivers of the Puffer were Otis and Leonard Cowles and Dan Planck. The sled owner was Victor Dicks. They donated the sled to the Soo I-500.
|1969 Ski Kat
|The Ski Kat was made in Detroit by Sport King, Inc. and was assembled in Rogers City, MI from 1967 1969. This 1969 machine has electric start and a single cylinder, 297 JLO motor. They also made some red and white machines. You could purchase a wheel kit to use this machine all year round. This model sold for $895.
|1969 Ski-Bee Scout 185
|Brothers George and Allister Ingham (Ingham Industries) were active for many years in the development of various snow vehicles in Lanigan, Saskatchewan, Canada. In 1965 and 1966 they constructed and tested several new prototypes that were lighter, faster, and easier to turn. By 1967, the new Ski Bees were put into production. They were produced for the 1968 through 1970 model years. There were three basic designs. The Scout was a one or two person machine with either a 13 or 18hp engine. The Stinger was lighter in weight due to aluminum-alloy construction and offered larger engines and was the high performance model of the line. The Commander was longer and wider with a 20 in. track and was intended to be the family type machine. Several hundred were sold through dealers in Saskatchewan and a distributor in Alberta, Canada. Ingham Industries was sold in 1970 and snowmobiles were discontinued.
|1969 Sno Ghia
|The Sno Ghia snowmobile was manufactured from 1967 through 1970 in Turin (Torino), Italy by Iso Rivolta for Ghia Spa, a subsidiary of DeTomaso. The Sno Ghia was touted as the low-profile snowmobile offering the advantages of better vision and a low center of gravity for better tracking. They were distributed in the USA by Ghia-US, Oceanport, New Jersey, and in Canada by Moleba Autoneige, Ltd. for the 1969 model year only. They were powered by a 297cc Sachs engine. Note the original Rose colored windshield.
|1969 Thunderbolt
|This is one of two Thunderbolts ever built and the only one currently assembled with a motor and is operable. The second machine is in North Dakota. Henry Leseman of Ada, MN did specialized work for Arctic Cat and made parts for many other snowmobile manufacturers. He was encouraged to build his own snowmobile and he did so using the best features of Arctic Cat and Viking along with some ideas of his own. This was the start of Thor Industries and the Thunderbolt snowmobile. Two prototypes were built and tested in the summer of 1969. One Thunderbolt was sent to an East coast distributor to be shown at a show in Montreal, with the intention of encouraging dealers to sell this machine. At the same time, the company that was committed to the funding backed out since the industry was beginning to struggle. This particular machine was given to the distributor by Henry. Henry Leseman sold his business and began a company in Venezuela in 1972. Henry sold one of the Thunderbolts before he left for Venezuela to a man from North Dakota. In 1982, Mr. Ernol (Bud) Knapp of Cedar Springs, MI was doing research on the Thunderbolt and met with Henry, who lives in Arkansas. Bud was later able to purchase this Thunderbolt in Dover, New Hampshire.
|1969 Wheel Horse
|This model has an 18hp Kohler motor and was only made for 2 years. The Wheel Horse Company also made lawn tractors. This machine sat in the rafters of a barn in Rexton, MI for over 20 years. The current owner is: John Ketcher Engadine, MI
|1970 Arctic Cat Panther
|Arctic Enterprises built 1015 Panthers with the 760cc JLO engine option in 1970. The 760 JLO engine was basically two 372cc singles put together on a common crankcase. Horsepower was rated at 45-55 depending on what specification sheet you looked at. All 760 Panthers came with the ACS Expansion Flow exhaust system. Because of the massive size of the engine there was no room for conventional mufflers. The 760 engines were not fast unless a lot of modification was done on the engine. Most Panthers (stock) would run about 55-60 mph on a good day. This machine was restored and raffled off by the ASBA Snowmobile Club in March, 2012. The $5122 raised from the raffle was donated to the Top of the Lake Snowmobile Museum Building Fund! Jon Selvig, winner of this sled, asked if he could put it on display at the Museum! Thank you to everyone involved
|1970 Arctic Cat Speed Run
|Arctic Cat built a machine with twin 634 Hirth motors meant to set the speed record. Unfortunately, every time they tested it, the track sprockets would fly off, so they dismantled it. This machine was built as a clone of that machine by Rod Jackel from Medford, WI.
