Ebert: Remembered
--Wife Chaz Ebert: "I am devastated by the loss of my love, Roger -- my husband, my friend, my confidante and oh-so-brilliant partner of over 20 years. He fought a courageous fight. I've lost the love of my life and the world has lost a visionary and a creative and generous spirit who touched so many people all over the world. We had a lovely, lovely life together, more beautiful and epic than a movie. It had its highs and the lows, but was always experienced with good humor, grace and a deep abiding love for each other.
"Roger was a beloved husband, stepfather to Sonia and Jay, and grandfather to Raven, Emil, Mark and Joseph. Just yesterday he was saying how his grandchildren were 'the best things in my life.' He was happy and radiating satisfaction over the outpouring of responses to his blog about his 46th year as a film critic. But he was also getting tired of his fight with cancer, and said if this takes him, he has lived a great and full life."
-- American Film Institute president and CEO Bob Gazzale: "Roger Ebert championed the art of the moving image and by the courage of his personal example demonstrated how much movies matter. Ebert chaired the AFI AWARDS jury of critics, filmmakers and scholars who selected the year's 10 best films in 2004. He held the gavel that day with the same enthusiasm for excellence that made his voice a force in American popular culture."
-- Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel: "Our whole city learned with sadness today of the passing of Roger Ebert, whose name was synonymous with two things: the movies and Chicago. In a Pulitzer Prize winning career that spanned more than four decades, thousands of reviews and countless acts of generosity to others, Roger championed Chicago as a center for filmmaking and critiques. With a knowledge of his subject as deep as his love for his wife Chaz, Roger Ebert will be remembered for the strength of his work, respected for his courage in the face of illness, and revered for his contribution to filmmaking and to our city. The final reel of his life may have run through to the end, but his memory will never fade."
-- Sun-Times Media Editor in Chief Jim Kirk: "The long relationship between Roger and his Sun-Times family speaks volumes about Roger's commitment to his craft and to his fans around the world. Roger's reviews were highly anticipated by readers and the film community. Film commentary was only one of several gifts. He was a reporter first, in every aspect of his craft. He could write as eloquently about world affairs as he could on the upcoming blockbuster. Roger will be missed not only by the Sun-Times family, but by the journalism and film communities. Our thoughts are with Roger's wife, Chaz, and their family during this time."

Hello, I have a window that was leaking and caulked around the sides of the window and is still leaking. I was seeing if anyone know what i should do next? | |||
the window, or the window frame? the frame is the part that doesn't move. top and bottom are more likely to be where the water infiltration is coming from, and water can get in behind the wall and run down, looking for the first availiable place to get in. water will invariably find any opening that exists to get in the wall. that can rot the wall. if there is crummy rotten wood soft enough to poke a screwdriver into, that indicates you need to remove the stops that hold the sliding window parts in the frame, carefully inspect the frame, and perhaps cut some wallboard inside to look for damage. fix everything and reframe the window, or replace it. there needs to be a seamless to falling water weather shield on the outside of the house to divert any water behind the clapboards/stucco/whatever OUT first, then away. sig: if this is a new economy, how come they still want my old-fashioned money? | ||||
Look for any sort of damage to the wood/siding on top of your window on the outside. If you can't find anything, my best bet would be to call a replacement windows company to get a free consultation. See if they can identify the problem. | ||||
Got a picture of the inside and outside of the window? Hard to suggest how to fix something you can not even see. joecaption | ||||
In my opinion you should contact a Toronto Replacement Windows because a professional company is beneficial to fix this problem permanently. | ||||
Dear Peter Guess you missed reading where it says NO AD'S I'm sure it was just an over sight on your part and would never want to be group in with all the useless hated skum of the earth useless spammers. Have nice day. joecaption | ||||

OU Condemns Recent Act of Violence Against Arab Youth in Jerusalem
Today, the leadership of the Orthodox Union, the largest Orthodox Jewish umbrella organization in the United States, issued the following statement commenting on an assault by several Jewish youths against several Arab youths in Zion Square, Jerusalem last Thursday:
"As Orthodox Jews we are guided by our Torah principles, among which are the pursuit of peace, the rights of all human beings to justice, and the value of human life. As supporters of the State of Israel, and as an organization which endorses the Jewish religious character of the State, we urge all Jewish citizens of the State to follow its laws, which guarantee the security of all citizens of Israel whether or not they are Jewish. We applaud President Peres and Prime Minister Netanyahu for their strong condemnations of these recent acts and reaffirmations of these fundamental Jewish values."

At the least, Rove's not a person of faith. That's what godless superstar Christopher Hitchens says in an interview with New York magazine. Here's the excerpt from the Washington Monthly's Political Animal:
Has anyone in the Bush administration confided in you about being an atheist?
Well, I don't talk that much to them â maybe people think I do. I know something which is known to few but is not a secret. Karl Rove is not a believer, and he doesn't shout it from the rooftops, but when asked, he answers quite honestly. I think the way he puts it is, "I'm not fortunate enough to be a person of faith."
The Political Animal—also known as Kevin Drum—wasn't surprised.
In fact, I've never really thought Rove was all that committed a conservative, either. He strikes me more as a pure political operative, someone who could have signed up with either side if different opportunities had presented themselves when he was young. But he signed up with the conservative cause early, and once that happened he was the kind of person to jump in with both feet.
But Mark Kleiman, a UCLA public policy prof, was a bit more cynical:
If we've learned anything in the last six years, it's that when Karl Rove's lips are moving, he's lying, generally for partisan advantage. He knows full well that (1) he's unpopular (2) atheism is unpopular and (3) voters still tend to associate Republicans with religiosity and Democrats with godlessness. So he's decided to pretend to be an atheist, hoping that some of the bad reputation he's worked so hard to earn rubs off on us.
Un-uh. No way. I'm not having any. The godly put Rove and his puppet in power, and the godly are stuck with the pair of them.
By the way, a Google image search for Karl Rove will turn up some comical mock photos, like the one above.

Martha Mecartney, chairwoman of UC Irvine's academic senate, was surprised recently to hear her daughter relay a school friend's fear: "Since she and some of her friends were Jewish, it was not safe for them to walk around the UCI campus."
"Why in the world," Mecartney asked in an op-ed in today's OC Register, "would this untruth be spread around Orange County?"
The simple answer is that, among its growing stature as a premier institution, UCI has become the bad boy of collegiate Jewish-Muslim relations. I blogged last month about California campuses' reputation as "Hotbeds of Anti-Israel Rhetoric." The article from the Forward focused on UCI and the cadre of rabble rousers, like Amir Abdel Malik Ali, who are invited to campus by a small group of MSA students to praise suicide bombers and rail on the "Zionist Jews."
Last spring, Ali gave a notorious speech at U.C. Irvine during a week of activities sponsored by the campus Muslim Student Union under the rubric âHolocaust in the Holy Land.â Speaking on a campus plaza behind a sign reading âIsrael, the 4th Reich,â Ali noted that Israelis are âreluctant to get on buses and things, or go to the café,â adding, âItâs about time that they live in fear.â He said that whereas Israelis are âcoming to live,â they are opposed by âpeople who are ready to die, who say either victory or martyrdom. You canât fight against that.â
âWe will fight you until we are either martyred or until we are victorious,â he said. âThatâs how we look at it. And they know that thatâs how Muslims believe.â
Mecartney takes issue with these speakers and says it is unfair to broad brush UCI a hostile place for Jews.
It appears that the goal of these speakers and their supporters on our campus is not to foster discussion and bring attention to possible solutions for the plight of the Palestinians but to demonize Israel and American Jews who support the existence of Israel. This I find highly repulsive and against what I believe in, which is tolerance and respect for all and a peaceful and productive solution to a long-term political and religious challenge in a land claimed by many peoples for many centuries.
But to equate a few individuals who visit the campus each year and spout vitriolic speech (which is their constitutional right) with UC Irvine being unsafe for Jewish students is a horrible misrepresentation of the truth. There has been vandalism of signs erected by both pro-Israel and anti-Israel factions, but there have been no documented cases of physical violence against any Jewish students. The campus is safe for all students â in fact, UCI is one of the safest campuses in the entire UC system. Jewish students must know this since they have been coming to UC Irvine in increasing numbers each year, and this past fall UC Irvine had the highest-ever number of Jewish students enrolled.

I guess he's American Apparel founder Dov Charney's in this billboard from NY's Lower East Side, via the Forward.
Beside the photo of Allen dressed as a Hasid are the words âder heyliker rebeâ â âthe holy rebbe.â Alex Spunt of AA told the Forward, âWoody Allen is our spiritual leader.â
I'm looking around Los Angeles to see if American Apparel, which is based here, has put the same ad up. Let me know if you see it.
As for Charney, a self-described "Jewish hustler," he has been a conspicuous character, with a reputation for racy ads and the cloud of harassment accusations that the Jewish Journal wrote about in this cover story two years ago. (âI could pull my penis out right now," he told The Journal, "and I guarantee you no one would be offended.â)

GetReligion has a wrap-up of the myriad stories previewing Pope Benedict XVI's visit to Brazil, which began Wednesday. It discusses the two main story lines: that the conservative pontiff will be facing his long-term foe—Catholicism's "liberation theology," a socialist remnant that persists in South America—and the raise of Protestantism.
As is often the case, GetReligion, which critiques the way we—the media—cover religion, takes issue with the banging of the cliche gong.

There has been plenty of accusations that Walt Disney was an anti-Semite—remember the "Simpsons" episode where Bart and Lisa watch the video of Itchy and Scratchy Land founder Roger Myers Sr., "who loved everyone and was loved by all, except in 1938, when he was heavily criticized for his controversial release Nazi Supermen Are Our Superiors"?— but who knew Mickey hates the Jews?
From the NY Daily News:
Meet Farfur, a life-size clone of Walt Disney's star, complete with big ears, a squeaky voice, a tuxedo with tails, a red bow tie and white gloves.
Starring on Hamas' new kiddie TV show "Tomorrow's Pioneers," Farfur tells children to drink milk, pray daily - and take up AK-47 assault rifles to defeat Israel and the U.S.
Farfur sings, dances and taunts President Bush, Secretary of State Rice, Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert and former Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, who has been in a coma for months.
"We will win, Bush!" Farfur sang on a recent episode. "We will win, Condoleezza [Rice]. We will win, Olmert. We will win, Sharon! Ah, Sharon is dead," he then quipped.
A little girl named Saraa serves as the terror mouse's sidekick and says things like, "We want to resist against the enemy, and we don't want to surrender."

Syndicated columnist Cal Thomas, who I've seen preach at Bel-Air Presbyterian, thinks it might be. Here's what he has to say in a column that opens with the closure of conservative Christian powerhouse Dr. D. James Kennedy's Center for Reclaiming America:
Nearly 30 years after religious conservatives decided to re-enter the political arena—after abandoning it as "dirty" and leading to compromise—what do they have to show for it? The country remains sharply divided and the reconciling message they used to preach has been obscured by the crass pursuit of the golden ring of political power. In the end, they got neither the power, nor the Kingdom; only the glory and even that is now fading, as these older leaders pass from the scene.
This is not to say there is no role for conservative Christians in the civic life of their nation. There is. But Christians must first understand that the issues they most care about—abortion, same-sex marriage and cultural rot—are not caused by bad politics, but are matters of the heart and soul. Some evangelicals wish to broaden the political agenda beyond these issues to poverty, social justice and the environment. Politics can never completely cure the ills of any of these, but the message Christians bring about salvation and redemption can. Besides, they can never "convert" people to their point of view.
Too many conservative Christians have focused on the "seen" rather than the "unseen," thinking appearances at the White House, or on "Meet the Press," is evidence that they are making a difference. And too much attention has been paid to individual personalities, rather than to the One these preachers had originally been called to exalt.
To paraphrase a verse familiar to most Christians, what shall it profit a man if he gains the White House, but loses his own soul?
Christians are also fond of saying God never closes one door without opening another door. The "door" of the Center for Reclaiming America has closed. The new doors can produce a more effective politics, if what's on the other side is based on a message that has less to do with partisanship and more to do with the One who transcends all politics and Who lends His power only to those who will use it as He instructed.

This is why I tell my friends I don't vote for political candidates based on their religious beliefs: Politicians are shapeshifters who say what you want to hear. So Sunday's story in the Chicago Tribune—"Democrats find religion on the campaign trail"—came as no surprise. Three years ago, George Bush got a second term as president by using the Jedi force of evangelical activists. Well, it looks like some Republicans have lost religion—with sins like those of former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay, it's difficult to talk pious without being hypocritical—but the Democrats are now talking about their spirituality.
Reversing recent political history, it's the leading Republican candidates who for various reasons have so far been reluctant to speak too much about matters of faith.
Former New York Mayor Rudolph Giuliani, a divorced Catholic, holds liberal views on abortion and gay rights. Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), a divorced Episcopalian, has a tense relationship with leaders of the Religious Right. And former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney is a devout Mormon whose religion arouses suspicion among many evangelicals.
"Give the advantage to the Democrats at this point," said Rich Cizik, vice president for governmental affairs for the National Association of Evangelicals. "You would have to conclude that the Democrats have a lot more interest in faith than the Republicans based on what they've had to say."
To sort through the campaign noise for those who want to know what the candidates believe, the Pew Forum on Religion & Public Life created this website.

H.H. the Dalai Lama, patron of the Tibetan Centre in Hamburg, has accepted the invitation to facilitate public lectures in Hamburg from 23 - 26 August 2014. We are looking forward to welcoming him for three and a half days one year prior to his 80th birthday.
Programme overview
23/8/2014: Human values in our lives
24-25/8/2014: Lectures on Buddhism
26/8/2014: Avalokiteshvara initiation
The organiser is the "Tibetisches Zentrum Event gGmbH", a non-profit limited liability organisation which was founded for the purpose of the Dalai Lama's visit in 2007.
This organisation is non-commercial and functions only to cover costs. Therefore, it's dependent on donations resulting in maintaining moderately priced event tickets and considerably reduced ticket prices for the ordained.

Wow! Let's cost industry more money so maybe we can run a few more companies out of MIchigan - keep up the good work!
Do Democrats have to be so blatantly obvious over the fact that they know nothing about either business or trucks? The average heavy truck on the road is older than that-and every time Congress mandates yet another 'emmissions control' or 'fuel standard' the price of a new truck goes up and operating efficiency goes down! The only ones who can afford all these new trucks are the largest ATA carriers-and it destroys their slim profit margin big time. The small companies are forced to go out of business!
Further, these ridiculous stadards come out of California-and are still in the courts after four years! Just how much does he plan to put away for the State to fight all the lawsuits that are sure to come? Does he even know that the standards in California were based on the 'work' of an 'expert' who was found to have NO real degree-and no research to back it up? Several parts have been thrown out by the courts. This kind of garbage should finish off Michigan's struggling manufacturing base entirely and destroy the value that will be added with a new Detroit River span. Many trucking companies no longer do business in CA because of this set of regulations. Out-of-state trucks will hesitate to come across a new bridge if they are forced to upgrade to this 'standard' . . .it will be cheaper to go 700 miles out of route!It's starting to be very obvious that the entire intent of the Dem party is to assure that our economy never recovers!
The schools cannot leave guess who gets to pay for those updates...................
To be vetted for a seat in Lansing a common sense quiz should be administered ......................
Who voted for this Rep???????
PS: oh yeah all those farmers are going to absorb the updates so there will be no raises in your food costs!!!!!!!
Rashida is full of great ideas. Be sure to visit her House Bill 4901: Create "environmental justice" regulatory regime.
One does wonder how these people get elected, but you can be certain that she'd be unable to perform any job in the private sector. Perhaps we should just be glad we're not paying her welfare. Then again, that welfare money might be money well spent--if it kept Rashida at home, eating bon bons and watching soap operas, instead of proposing destructive and idiotic legislation!
Oh yeah. Great idea. That'll sure improve the business climate in Michigan. How was this person (can't really determine sex based on name) ever elected to a public office?
These restrictions on trucks are government over reaching. The government should not be involved with this aspect of commercial life. Some trucks, reefers, must run to keep the food contents cold or frozen while the truck is parked so this law would obviate its own impracticability. It sounds like we have an over zealous legislator trying to "make his mark" with the democratic party.
Environmental justice is a euphemism for imposing draconian rules on society.
We should all agree that the time for change is here. Older big trucks and diesel regulations are a good start for that. I am thinking of acquiring some new body lift kits for my business, I think now it's time to do it, I'll know what to chose to fit into the legal terms.

2015 GMC Yukon XL Denali Walkaround Video ~ Check it out
I got invited by GM to be part of a small group in Dallas who got to see the entire lineup of GM Full-Size SUVs today. People in New York got to see the Chevrolet lineup, people in Los Angeles got to see the GMC lineup. However, since trucks and SUVs are such a big part of Texas ... we got to see all of them.
Here's a quick walkaround of the new 2015 GMC Yukon XL Denali. More descriptions, photos and video to come later.
10 Chevy Traverse LT AWD
02 Chevy Trailblazer LS (110K+ miles - loaded except for 4WD - WRECKED!)
99 Chevy Cavalier LS (105K+ miles - commuter car)
78 Chevy Suburban Silverado (454, 3/4 ton)
62 GMC 3/4 ton Pickup (350 police interceptor)

Pikey thanked for this post09-13-2013, 12:31 AM #2Wow! Thanks Steve. That walk around and a quick view of some of the options really gave perspective of the new interior. Those power folding seats move pretty fast. I also like the dual DVD players and cup holders integrated into the rear door trim. What were the lower buttons for on the drivers door?

The lower buttons were I think had something to do with the seat position memory settings ... I think there's like a 1 and a 2, etc.
09-13-2013, 09:53 AM #4Wow, the new Denali looks really good, imo. Those power folding rear seats are awesome!

Steve liked this post09-13-2013, 10:29 AM #5Ok so the interior made up for some of what I didnt like on the exterior.
I like the power folding rear seats, for me it wouldnt be a problem, but I do see issues with those that have little kids. Is there a lockout on the buttons or anything like that?
Also any power outlets in the rear or mid part of the vehicle?
12v and 110 at the back and in both rear seat areas would be a great addition.
how high is the rear seat when sot stowed? The key is to be at a point that third row seat back is low enough to not block drivers rear sight in the mirror but the riders have downward leg room and arent low riding in the seat.
09-13-2013, 10:35 AM #6I think I saw 110 outlets in the 2nd row in pictures of the truck, Chevy states there's 12 charging locations throughout the vehicle. GM is fairly good about making lock outs for buttons in their vehicles. My Tahoe has a window lock out button and rear door lock out buttons so they only can be opened from the outside.

Those are good questions, and I agree that you would need a lockout button for those rear seats ... ESPECIALLY because they move so fast. Not like the Ford's fold-flat seats that take about 30 seconds to change position, these seats were FAST, we could hardly believe it.
As for the power ports, I asked that question and I think you're going to find more in the GMC (and USB 2.0 ports as well) than in the Chevrolet vehicles, but either way they responded knowing very well that people need power ports in the modern world and they're more than happy to build them in.
09-13-2013, 03:24 PM #8My sister's 2013 Escape has a 110v outlet in the second row. I should hope any full-size SUV from GM has at least one.
After watching the video again, I am glad the interior (dash especially) isn't quite as toy-ish looking as the 2014 Silverado. The back-lighting behind the AC/stereo controls is pretty sweet, too.
One thing I do not like about the extrior is the rear door windows. The whole window should roll down like they always have. That thin pane of glass along the c-pillar is straight from the Expedition...

Will it help sound mining or mining companies?
Public hearing of the capacity expansion of coal washing facility by Hind Energy, Hingadih village, Chhattisgarh - Part I |
It's drought time again. Nothing new in this announcement. Each year, first we have crippling droughts between December and June, and then devastating floods in the next few months. It's a cycle of despair, which is more or less predictable. But this is not an inevitable cycle of nature we must live with. These droughts and floods are man-made, caused by deliberate neglect and designed failure of the way we manage water and land. What we must note with concern is that these "natural" disasters are growing in intensity and ferocity.
Now that Europe's debt crisis is unfolding all around us, shouldn't we question why the world is determined to live beyond its means and not worry how it sabotages our common future? The debt crisis is a mere symptom of a deeper malaise. The fact is that countries, private companies and individual households can run only if they can borrow against their assets and hope that the debt will grow slower than the value of their asset. Most financial analysts will now tell you that this business is doomed because of the Ponzi scheme nature of the loan business, where borrowing is used to speculate to get more loans and so repayment becomes difficult and over time impossible.
In 2007, the US had less than 5 per cent of the global population, but it accounted for 20 per cent of global CO2 emissions. India, with almost 17 per cent of global population, accounted for less than 5 per cent of the emissions. More on who is emitting and how much.
Just consider. Every time petrol prices are raised, oil companies end up losing more money. Simply because the price differential between petrol and diesel increases further, and people gravitate towards diesel vehicles. More the use of diesel, more the oil companies bleed. Worse, we all bleed because diesel vehicles add to toxic pollution in our cities, which, in turn, adds to ill health and treatment costs.
The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA's) annual pesticide data were delayed by five months this year, thanks to the relentless effort of the food industry lobby. The USDA, however, deserves a pat on the back for not buckling under pressure of the pesticide lobby. The report released this year is no different from the earlier years despite a delay.
Once again there is a food safety scare. A deadly strain of E coli bacterium has hit Germany, where it has taken the lives of 25 people and affected another 2,300 till date. German food inspectors on the trail of the source of contamination have as yet made two errors—blaming Spanish cucumbers and then organic bean sprouts—but no breakthrough.
THE Himalayas are warming at a rate higher than the global average. A recent study documents how this has affected cropping patterns and vegetation in the past 10 years.
The agriculture department is finally taking note of the non pesticide management technique of farming. The Andhra Pradesh government issued an order on May 16 that the rural development and the agriculture department would work together to reduce the cost of cultivation and move towards a pesticide free cultivation across the state.

Winter has come early to Icewind Dale. The people of Ten-Towns are on edge; with food and supplies scarce, each town looks jealously to its own survival. Beyond the walls, wolves and yetis prowl the wilds, and few travelers brave enough to venture there ever return. To the north, the Reghed tribes whisper stories of the Frostmaiden, manifested in the world to punish those who have strayed from her worship. And on the slopes of Kelvin's Cairn, an old enemy awakens to finish the conquest he started over one hundred years ago.
Legacy of the Crystal Shard is an adventure for low-level characters and can be run either as a stand-alone adventure or as a sequel to Murder in Baldur's Gate. The adventure allows players to explore the breadth of Faerûn's frozen north and face old foes as well as new threats to the people of Icewind Dale.
Monster Statistics: 3.5 Edition
Monster Statistics: 4th Edition
Monster Statistics: D&D Next
Baldur's Gate is a city on the verge of war—a simmering stewpot of social tensions where even the smallest spark of unrest threatens to turn the city against itself. Walls cut Baldur's Gate into three cities: The rich live atop the bluffs protected from the bourgeoisie clinging to the slopes by barriers that literally prevent the middle class from rising above their stations, and beyond the protection of the city's walls its many outcasts live with no law but the daggers of thieves.
In this powder keg, an old threat flickers to new life. The plot of a murdered power is finally coming to fruition. Bhaal, god of assassins, will live again. And in the city that once thwarted his rebirth, three different people will unwittingly compete to herald his return.
You can use the rules for 3rd Edition (v.3.5), 4th Edition, or D&D Next when playing this adventure. Few game rules and no monster statistics are included in this book. You can find that material online (above). You can print out the statistics or copy them into a file for your personal use. Throughout the adventure, a monster name in bold indicates a monster that is available in the statistics packet.
In addition, the adventure usually does not specify the number of adversaries the heroes might face. This absence is intended to give you the flexibility to adjust encounters based on what edition you're running, and what is a suitable challenge based on the circumstances and the condition of the party.
This adventure calls for ability checks rather than skill checks. Depending on which edition's rules you're using, replace the ability checks with skill checks that are appropriate for the task being attempted.
If you choose to play this season using D&D Next rules, things will be a little more involved. Your store/play group will need to visit dndnext.com and sign up for the playtest. Then, download the playtest packet and review the documents, paying close attention to the How to Play and DM Guidelines files.
Players begin the event by creating 1st-level characters. You can help the organizer by providing character creation resources for the edition of the game you're running: the D&D Next playtest packet; Heroes of the Fallen Lands, Heroes of the Forgotten Kingdoms, and the 4th Edition Player's Handbook; or the v.3.5 Player's Handbook.
D&D Encounters can't happen without people behind the screen—the most important seat in the house. With D&D Encounters, DMing is easy. Your store organizer will have everything you need—the adventure, maps, tokens (for PCs and Monsters), as well as all the other game materials you and your players will want and need.

What steers your choice? The last year or so I've been trying to choose patterns that will increase my skill level. Not always hard - for instance my Snake River Quilt was only straight lines but the 1/4" scant seam was very important to make the quilt fit together correctly. And by piecing that quilt I got a LOT of practice. It didn't hurt that it is an awesome quilt. I also got to use a chunk of my stash. A win-win. So what factors play into your decision to make a particular quilt?This message has been edited. Last edited by: katiemedarlin, Happy is a choice. GO RAVENS!!! | |||
Right now I don't really need a challenge so am looking for something easy for 3 comfort snuggle quilts to use my Dad's shirts in when I get back to sewing. Sometimes I make a table runner in a challenging design do I don't have one more UFO on the pile and it gets done so I can use it or pass it on. My challenge is in going into the fabric room and deciding what I'm realy going to cut up!! Oooo that blue is so pretty and goes nicely with the green...and the green is really pretty next to the pink...and the yellow makes the pink pop annnndddddd *sigh* more chocolate please. piney | ||||
I agree that small projects are perfect for challenging myself. I'm doing fewer large quilts because I don't need them and I tend to not quilt them. I have a picture of my next large quilt on my fridge. It'll take a while to get the perfect colors so it's been on hold for a year. In the meantime I'll enjoy tablerunners, wallhangings, and baby quilts. One of my dream quilts is Shakespeare in the Park but I can't decide on a color scheme. I may make it for the large wall behind my couch. | ||||
I like mystery's because it makes me use up my stash in ways that I don't think I would have!! I know one mystery - if I would have know it was baskets not one of my favorite designs - I would not have done it!! What I ended up with is a BEAUTIFUL quilt that I love!! So, I love mysteries because you have no idea what you are going to be asked to and what you are going to end up with. I also have the pattern 'speak' to me. Another one of my favorite quilts is one I instantly fell in love with on a magazine - and then found out later you could order a kit for it!!! So, I did - then took myself to the only retreat I have ever been on (yes, I went by myself and didn't tell anyone that I was doing this and I had the best time!! Strangers can be so nice!!! ) and I put the top together!! By the time I left it was done and ready to be quilted!! FUN!! I see things in books and magazines that grab me, French Braid being one, but I have not done that one yet. Love it though and I will. LOVE doing One Block Wounders!!! That quilt to me is magic!! I have 3 fabrics waiting to be made into them!!! : I want something that I will enjoy doing, that makes me happy and that I can be proud of. And EvelynB - Shakespeare in the Park is on my list too!!!!! LOVE THAT QUILT!!!!! I have a little collection started for it, and I am thinking blues....... but that could change!!!! Insperation come from many places and another one on my 'to-do' list is.... oh what is it called!!!!? Storm at Sea!! : Yes I had to go find it!! Do you have either of the 'Quilt Makers Gift' quilt books? Have you read the kids book?? LOVE that book - it's on my shelf beside the quilt books and yes I do read it occasionaly.... But I love the quilts in those books - Storm at Sea is in the 2nd one. My GF made one out of greens for her grandson and it doesn't sound pretty but when she showed me I almost fell on the ground!! It was gorgeous!! And that is probably why I have not made on yet because I want mine to be as pretty!!! Let the quilt pick you - and then go with it! You won't go wrong!! Promise!!! | ||||
My quilts are decided by the purpose they are made. My bed--colors I like, go together somewhat quickly due to time available, usually is not a pattern/design I have already done. A design that grabs me, or sometimes one that I need to use a number of colors in to use up a group of fabrics. If it is a wedding quilt for the nieces/nephews the colors are more their request or along the lines of their favorites. The design again is a fresh one usually but one that has an intertwined look somewhat like a DWR but isn't one. I've made about 13 of those plus 5 for kids in law and 5 or more for my kids and none of them have been repeated patterns. Madelyn | ||||
No help here. Mostly I make tops for QWL and my goal is to make as basic a top as I can so it gets done quickly... Chris | ||||
Blue is my favorite color for my house. I'd make it a blue batik quilt but I've already made several. I bought the book in case it goes out of print before I make it. If you'd like to drool for a while, look at the photos Judy Martin has posted on her site. The Snake River quilts are shown here. Katie, have you sent her a photo of your quilt? http://www.judymartin.com/Viewer-Photos.cfm | ||||
Shakespeare in the Park is gorgeous! There actually is a picture of mine on there but I don't want to post my last name here. Funny, I didn't really think that my picture would be posted, I was just so happy to finish it that I wanted her to see it. I'm sure she could care less, but I sure was happy. I really love her patterns. There really are some lovely quilts there, aren't there? I spent some time last night going through them. There are others that are certainly eye-popping! I always find it interesting the colors people choose. I also find it interesting how many people choose the same color as the original. I almost never do that. I see a pattern and think of what color I would like to see it done in. I can't think of a time I've ever made a quilt in exactly the same color as the pattern.This message has been edited.

I have to know "who" the quilt is intended to go to and then take it from there. Eventually something will pop into my head Now I'm going to go and try and find the Shakespeare one posted about. Sounds scrumptious. | ||||

Pink Frost is a rare bread, or so it seems. They are froward leaning but with a clear and strong respect for '90's rock. Their sophomore album, Sundowning, is a 9 track collection of anthems complete with roaring guitar solos and contagious hooks. In fact, as you listen through this album, there is a little for everyone, from Shoegaze to Pysch Rock, Pink Frost explores many aspect of rock. A shared released from BLVD Records and Notes and Bolts this September release is one of the strongest of the year. |

Like us, vehicles can only handle so much when it comes to the extreme cold.
Breakdowns and dead batteries are common, and it's keeping area auto repair shops and towing companies extra busy.
There isn't much to celebrate when it's this cold outside, unless you own a towing company.
"Business is good in the cold weather, diesel trucks are having a lot of problems with the fuel gelling and the ignitions don't like this kinda thing in the later model ones," said Andy Olson.
Olson, whose been working overtime picking up dead vehicles during the current cold snap, says now smaller trucks and cars are showing weakness.
"It seems to effect the big trucks first, but it's stating to show up in the cars too, the cars are quitting," he said.
Experts agree that maintenance is the best way to keep your vehicle running smoothly during the extreme cold temperatures. One way to do that is to start your engine and let it run for about 15 minutes before hitting the road.
Auto repair shops are also keeping busy this cold snap.
"Definitely a lot more dead batteries and stuff like that," said Patrick Gonzagowski, the service adviser at Griesbach Auto Service in Weston.
He says warming up your vehicle is a must, and you should also check the strength of your battery and keep an eye on your tires.
"The rims can expand and contract and that can make a slow leak in the tire, it can cause the tire pressure to go down," Gonzagowski said.
He also recommends keeping some items in your car, including: a cell phone and charger, blanket, water, snacks and extra clothes in case you break down.

about the exhibition
International Artist-In-Residence
New Works 11.2
Kurt Mueller
Houston, TX
July 14–September 18, 2011
about the artistKurt Mueller's artistic practice is research-driven, his ideas emerging from explorations of various social and political themes. Often interactive, his installations engage the audience through allusions to popular culture, ultimately provoking consideration of historical actions, figures, narratives, and texts. Mueller strives toward art that is critically responsive to the social and political conditions of its time. Inspired by the traditional purpose of monuments, he is interested in the potential of harnessing material to ritualize memory, produce identity, and incite action.
Mueller is a critic, curator, and artist. He earned an MFA from the University of Texas at Austin and attended the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture in Maine in 2008. From 2008-2010, he was a critical studies resident at The Core Program, Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, Texas. He is the Art Editor of Gulf Coast and the former Interim Editor of Art Lies. He has written extensively about contemporary art throughout the state of Texas and beyond, authoring criticism for ArtAsiaPacific, Art Papers, Flash Art, Frieze, and artforum.com. Mueller has curated exhibitions at the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston; Inman Gallery, Houston; and the Blanton Museum of Art, Austin. He has exhibited artwork at the Austin Museum of Art (2010); Cynthia Woods Mitchell Center for the Arts at the University of Houston (2009); and Arthouse at the Jones Center, Austin (2008).
about the exhibition
Living Still consists of five works: Cenotaph, a jukebox that plays a selection of moments of silence clipped from history ranging from John Lennon's death to contemporary silent protests; Man in Black (after Sonya Vasquez), two projection screens simultaneously displaying the left and right ears of Johnny Cash wax sculptures; Plaza, a portable parquet dance floor standing perpendicular to the ground; The Toe of Toribio Losoya (after William Easley)*, a photo documenting an artist-initiated intervention to create a legend of the "Unsung hero of the Alamo"; and Shot, a single-channel video montage tracking visitors to Dealey Plaza in Dallas, Texas, the site of President John F. Kennedy's 1963 assassination. By blurring what distinguishes memorial from entertainment, Mueller strives to capture the universal desire to commemorate, while seducing the audience to engage with a sometimes overlooked or forgotten aspect of history.
In Cenotaph, Mueller presents a 1995 Rock-Ola "Legend" CD Jukebox, which contrasts strongly with its deliberately sparse surroundings. Inspired by the JFK cenotaph or "empty tomb" in Dallas, as well as the Alamo Cenotaph in San Antonio (honoring those who died in its defense), the viewer is invited to insert a coin into the jukebox and choose a moment of silence to be played aloud. The collection of 100 selections is listed in a "book" of CD choice cards displayed behind the jukebox's glass pane, providing a place for the artist to insert his own decisions regarding the visual and textual representation for each track. The vintage-inspired jukebox is a vehicle for nostalgia, inducing in the viewer a sense of familiarity, while easing his or her interaction with the sometimes uncomfortable silence. Through the exchange, the viewer is confronted with multiple levels of personal choice that inevitably become public: to select a moment of silence to play aloud, and once determined, to decide how to react to the selection.
Man in Black (after Sonya Vasquez) portrays the left and right ears of Johnny Cash wax sculptures on display at San Antonio's and Grand Prairie's Ripley's Believe It or Not! museums, respectively. The videos depict the ears exactly as they are seen at each site-lighting unaltered-to communicate the theater of the venues' bizarre and commemorative interior. Though both ears look incredibly lifelike, the right ear is broken off at the tip, a scar from overly curious visitors. Presented back to back, the placement of the projection screens encourages the viewer to move around their perimeter, as if to mimic the experience of a three-dimensional memorial statue. The representation of the late musician's ears is significant to Mueller because of Cash's iconic status, and as a reference to Egyptian hieroglyphs in which the ear symbolizes communication with the gods.
Shot is a projection of an edited single-channel video documenting visitors at the site where President John F. Kennedy was killed. With no statue or obvious monument to interact with, visitors take part in an unsolicited and delicate dance in and out of the street that guided Kennedy's motorcade, where the only markers are two white duct tape Xs indicating the places where the 35th President of the United States was shot. Without variation, visitors wait for cars to pass by, then shuffle out into the street and proceed to take "shots" with their cameras, recreating the spatial relationships of the original incident.
Mueller's Artpace exhibition highlights a variety of commemorative traditions. Often disguising the uncomfortable subject matter of death, his works exude a certain absence, either of words or people, which encourages onlookers to interact-unscripted. The memorials also function as vessels of transmission for connection: wax figures as surrogates for their deceased counterparts, ears as divine communication links, and a jukebox for emitting moments of silence. Taken all together, Living Still underscores the sense of spectacle associated with memorials, offering a critical but affirmative view of our obsession with our own impermanence.

That's probably the toughest housing market in the US to live in. At least in NYC there is modest housing in the outer boroughs, but in the Bay Area everything is expensive.
I'd agree northern California is also probably the nicest place to live in the US. But you have to start somewhere and the circumstances of most people's birth doesn't give them a big head start.
Why don't you move someplace like the Research Triangle or Austin? You could move back to the Bay Area and buy after saving money in a less expensive rental and purchase market. I agree renting is better for now in the Bay Area, but renting someplace else would be even cheaper.
You talk a lot about how the housing market is rigged, but that's partly due to price inelasticity from people not wanting to make long moves. One way to rationalize the market is to move away from high-priced areas and save up cash in low-cost areas.

How the campaigns have tracked you down, what they know about you.
Christal Presley grew up in tiny Honaker, Virginia, with a father who returned traumatized by Vietnam. He, in turn, traumatized her by vacillating between depression, silence and sheer rage. She grew always thought her father didn't love her and didn't speak to him for many years after she left home. She tried to find inner peace in other ways but knew that one day she would have to speak frankly with her father about Vietnam. Finally, she did, and the result of those difficult conversations turned into a book she hopes will be healing to veterans and a new generation of children of parents who served in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Continuing coverage of the aftermath of Superstorm Sandy.
Roots ripped out of the ground as a large oak tree fell toward Olga Raymond's front door. With it came a power line. Raymond had just left her one-story home in Mansfield, Connecticut. Neighbors told CNN affiliate CTNOW that a smaller pine tree had already snapped off onto Raymond's roof, startling her. She had a flashlight in hand and was on her way to a neighbor's house when the bigger tree crashed down. The 90-year-old woman -- a "spirited" bowler and grandmother of four -- was killed instantly. Across the Northeast, more stories such as Raymond's are being reported. Another tree, another town, another broken home.
Seven years after a disastrous response to Hurricane Katrina, the Federal Emergency Management Agency is winning praise for how it's dealing with Superstorm Sandy. "This is the all-new FEMA, and the leadership is very, very good, very focused," said Dr. Irwin Redlener, a pediatrician and director of the National Center for Disaster Preparedness at Columbia University's Mailman School of Public Health. "They're doing an excellent job." Score one for FEMA's attempts to come back from its infamous failure after Katrina struck the Gulf Coast in August 2005.
We should not be surprised. That's the view of many climate scientists as they survey the destruction wrought by the superstorm that ravaged the Northeast this week. The melting of Arctic ice, rising sea levels, the warming atmosphere and changes to weather patterns are a potent combination likely to produce storms and tidal surges of unprecedented intensity, according to many experts.
Claudene Christian dreamed of living a seafaring life like the historic HMS Bounty naval officer who shared her name centuries ago. She'd secured a spot as a crew member on a replica of the Bounty and had announced it proudly on her Facebook page. But less than six months after joining the ship, her dream was cut short.
Damon-Syria-Amputee (with art)
It was around 6:30 in the morning. The air was crisp, the farmers had just watered their fields -- corn perhaps, Omar doesn't entirely recall -- and the ground was muddy, slippery and uneven. There was a pack on his back, a bag slung over each shoulder, and cradled in his arms, the frail body of his 11-year-old brother Abdulrahman. Abdulrahman, the baby of the family, couldn't walk on his own. His left leg was blown off in late July. The last words of the driver who dropped them off echoed in Omar's mind: "You're on your own now."
As he strode on stage to accept the 1999 Rory Peck award for hard news journalism, Sorious Samura struggled to find the words that would fit the moment. He hadn't expected to win the prestigious prize and so hadn't prepared a speech. Looking out across audience, the pioneering video journalist made the snap decision to speak his mind rather than proffer faux gratification. "I stood there and thought of my people," he recalls, before asking, "Where were you when my people were killing, raping and maiming themselves?"
Angel Lau adjusts her iridescent blue goggles over her cherubic face, steps to the edge of the pool and dives in head first. The 7-year-old is one of the lucky ones: Her mother enrolled her in private swim lessons since the age of 3. Many other young Hong Kongers are on lengthy wait lists as demand for public swimming lessons outstrips supply in a city that's surrounded by coastline -- yet a majority of residents can't swim, according to local water safety experts.
Korean is considered one of the hardest languages in the world to master, but an elephant in a South Korean zoo is making a good start.

SMS: Fluffy Coconut Cake with Lime Filling
This week's Sweet Melissa Sundays was chosen by Karen of Karen's Cakes Cookies & More: fluffy coconut cake with passion fruit filling. In a move that won't surprise anyone who knows me, I waited until the last minute to make this cake. I was working as quickly as possible to put it together yesterday afternoon, racing against the clock to finish before I lost the natural light to photograph it. One of the nice things about this cake, however, is that it didn't have to be that way. Had I planned ahead, I could have made each of the individual components ahead of time and simply assembled the cake yesterday afternoon.
Speaking of components, this cake has three. First, there's the cake itself, a basic white cake recipe. I scaled back the recipe, making just 1/4 and baking the layers in two 4.5" springform pans. I wound up with extra batter, and discovered I'd overfilled the pans slightly when they overflowed (just barely) in the oven. Next time I'll probably either use three 4.5" pans or go with just two layers in larger pans (maybe 6"?). Sandwiched between the layers of the cake is a fruit filling. The recipe called for passion fruit, but I went with lime because as hard as I tried, I couldn't find passion fruit juice anywhere. Where the full recipe called for 7 egg yolks and 2 whole eggs, I used 1 egg yolk and 1 whole egg in my 1/4-sized batch to make the division of the eggs easier and it worked perfectly. The filling reminded me of curd, but unlike curd recipes I've made in the past, didn't include any butter. Finally, the entire cake is covered in coconut cream cheese frosting. I confess that I didn't use the frosting from the book as it called for cream of coconut, which I didn't have on hand. I turned instead to my go-to cream cheese icing from Martha Stewart (you can find the recipe here). The only coconut in my cake was the flakes I threw on after it was frosted.
I almost sat out this week since I was so short on time, but I'm glad I baked along to discover this white cake recipe. It is without a doubt one of my favorite cakes I've made - tender and moist, but with a tight, sturdy crumb - in one word, delicious! The filling was just ok for me, perhaps it would have been better with the passion fruit. Of course I loved the cream cheese frosting, I just wasn't sure it was the right choice for this cake. The components didn't work together as well as I'd have liked. I'll absolutely use the white cake recipe again though, maybe with a raspberry or strawberry filling (jam would be easy) and buttercream frosting.
Thanks to Karen for hosting this week! She will share the recipe on her blog today or you can find it on pages 96-99 of The Sweet Melissa Baking Book. We're off to Shane's last big race of the year this morning - a marathon - and it looks like the weather will be perfect! Hope everyone enjoys their Sunday :)

I was all prepared to dislike this (because, you know, coconut) until you mentioned that the coconut was only skin deep. =P I'll have to try the white cake recipe to see how it compares with my favorite (from The Cake Bible). And the lime filling sounds delicious.

Your mini cake looks perfect, so cute! There was quite a bit of batter - I got eight good-size cupcakes out of a quarter recipe. I was even later than you, I didn't make the cake until today. I am totally a procrastinator, but it seems like we always have a backlog of treats, so it's hard to make things ahead of schedule.
I hope Shane's marathon went well! - October 18, 2010 at 2:08 AM

Q: Recently at a new dentist's office I experienced a scary bout of heart palpitations after getting a shot for a crown. I am afraid to go back. What went wrong? Annie C. in Weston via email
A: When ordering a cheese steak in the City of Brotherly Love, one must say: "With" or "Without." This tells the cook whether you want Cheez-Wiz or not. When I ask my dental assistant to pass the anesthesia syringe, she will ask me the same question; only this time it implies do 'I want anesthetic "with" epinephrine or "without" '. Local anesthetics with "epi" used to constrict blood vessels to increase the duration of numbness, often make the heart race as adrenaline would; especially in patients taking certain heart medications. To lessen the chance of these episodes, the dentist needs to review your medical history and medication list and aspirate (pull back) on the syringe while injecting to avoid direct injection into the larger blood vessels of the jaws.
The good news is these episodes are short lived and usually not dangerous. And, again, are very common.
