The first package arrived with a beautiful finished quilt. All it will need is a label and can go in the mail.Works great as we have just received a request from a sol ider serving now for 37 more quilts. With this challenge we can move right along with more quilts their way. They are still deeply appreciated. Illinois---------24 blocks (1 finished quilt) Quilts With Love c/o Maggie Jones 139 S Lynn Republic, MO 65738 Just wanted to give a heads up for the new QWL challenge coming up Jan 1,2013 thru March 31,2013. As most of you know about QWL I hope you will be able to answer any questions for the newbie. Our blocks are 12.5 inches in size. If you would like to do a top it should be 56 x 84 inches in size. Any smaller and they do not cover and any larger and they become a problem. Please stay with the sizes requested. You can use any pattern and color of fabrics, but please please use cotton fabric. No Christmas or holiday fabrics please. Okay ladies what state is next? I sure do hope Missouri can make a good showing in this challenge. Hugs to all, MaggieThis message has been edited.

Maggie- Patty J and I have material cut for 2 quilts and hope to have them done by next week. That is our goal. LOL Sue | ||||
Sounds great sister sue. Thanks, Maggie Keeping them warm~~~Keeping us safe | ||||
I have a top finished but want to try to make it a complete quilt before sending it. | ||||
| ||||
Great Chlynn. Always appreciated. There are so many working away on tops and finished quilts. It is exciting to see how many blocks make it this way also. Thanks again. Maggie Keeping them warm~~~Keeping us safe | ||||
Picture-sharing time... a quilt-top done. | ||||
While looking through a box in my sewing room, I came upon a big bag of sewn parts I'd forgotten about that I can use for blocks! Some are really wild prints, so it will certainly give the so ldi er something to look at other than sand!!!!! "It's bad to supress laughter. It goes back down and spreads to your hips." | ||||
Nice top Jessicasews! | ||||
Looks great Jessica. Did Wiley help with this one also? Thanks. Maggie Keeping them warm~~~Keeping us safe | ||||
Thank you for the comments! This top looks so 'home-y', it stayed on the bed for a couple hours! Yes, this is a Wiley/JessicaSews quilt-top - working (lovingly-working) to put Nevada and Idaho on the board... WHOO HOO! | ||||
I had all my muslin foundation saquares all washed, ironed and cut and R, W & B strings all ready to sew during my weekend, but after the accident, I will be unable to sew on the machine for at least a week or maybe more per doctor's orders. It will not give me enough time to get the top done and quilted for the deadline. I will, however, be happy to send you a nice check to help you defray batting or backing costs. Hopefully I can be more active in the next event. http://hexagonswap.blogspot.com/ For donated quilts for the kids, check out the photos at http://kc1930.blogspot.com/201...-pictures-below.html | ||||
Just send the top, KC...if you happen to get it done. Maggie has quilters to do that part if you can't....I only send blocks! Every bit helps. Hope you're feeling better! "It's bad to supress laughter. It goes back down and spreads to your hips." | ||||
Picture-sharing... fun with 4" squares that Wiley sent! I've got some math to do regarding sashes and borders once I get a stack of these 10.5" squares done... Editing: newest-newest-newest picture as I've decided to do these blocks on-point. This message has been edited. Last edited by: jessicasews, | ||||
I had a funny today. I gave up on the red/white/blue blocks temporarily cause i figured out I needed 96 6" blocks so went to the scrap blocks i had done. I got to a stopping point so decided to count the r/w/b to see how many more I needed. LOL I already had 125 block. DUH I should have counted them LOL. Now I can finsih the scrap one and get to the r/w/b. | ||||
Hi! Newbie here from CA who would love to join in. So anything else I need to know? If I send in blocks is there a requirement in how many? Thanks! "Inside every Girl Gone Wild is a quilt loving grandma ready to come out" - Gabriel Rutledge | ||||
Sue Stitches- Welcome from Wisconsin and I hope you have fun with this project. Patty J and I just finished making 2 tops. She will post the pics, after she irons the backing. LOL. Please join us for blocks for the troops. Sue | ||||
Sue Stitches: As may blocks as you want to make. Some make blocks, some make tops and some make quilts. Every bit counts!!!! "It's bad to supress laughter. It goes back down and spreads to your hips." | ||||
Welcome Sue Stitches! | ||||
Welcome Sue!! This is a great cause! You can send any type of 12.5 inch block. Have fun! I started with sending blocks and now I try to do a finished quilt to send. | ||||
Welcome Sue. You will love hearing some of the letter we get from the very grateful troops. | ||||
Thanks everybody! I have stash of bold prints I've been wondering why I bought and now I know! I'm an advanced beginner so hopefully my measuring mojo will be with me. I have the spatial intelligence of a kumquat "Inside every Girl Gone Wild is a quilt loving grandma ready to come out" - Gabriel Rutledge | ||||
SueStitches, Glad to have you join up. I'm sure whatever you make will be nice and appreciated. | ||||
Sister Sue and I finished our 2 quilt tops and they are almost ready to go in the mail. We think this gold and black quilt was fairly easy to make. Had to resize the picture 3 times before I got them small enough to post. Hopefully it will work this time. | ||||
This one was a new pattern that Sue bought in Vegas and it was so easy, even though it looks complicated. | ||||
Sure is nice to read the chatter on here. KC I am so sorry for your mishap. I hope you are healing nicely. Just do what you can. I do truely understand. Thanks so much for posting. jessica those tops are wonderful. They will make a much better day for those receiving them. You and Wiley work well together. Sue Stitches so nice to read your post. As some have already posted any amount is helpful and appreciated. We use 24 blocks per top when we put them together here. I am sure the CA gals are glad to have your help from there. Welcome. The ladies here are so helpful and caring. OH!! pattyj and sister sue those tops are so eye catching. Just great. They will sure brighten up the beds and take away that dull desert color for those around them. I will post on Monday the new count of the challenge. New blocks and tops have arrived here. Headielamar your pkg arrived. Thank you so much. They are deeply appreciated. Hugs to all, MaggieThis message has been edited. Last edited by: MedeMo, Keeping them warm~~~Keeping us safe | ||||
The quilts were sent out this morning from the post office, I have the tracking number, but hoping we won't need it. Glad you liked what they looked like. Patty & Sister Sue | ||||
I will be watching out for them Patty. I just posted three thank you letters from some that have received the quilts. Now to just see if they will let it post. I hope so. You need to be able to read the love and appreciation they have for those of you working away to cover and comfort them. Hugs, Maggie Keeping them warm~~~Keeping us safe | ||||
Hi from Maryland, Sue stitches. | ||||
KC1930 just wanted to let you know that your ck arrived today by mail. Thank you so very much for helping in the challenge even with your injuried hand. THanks so much. Hugs, Maggie Keeping them warm~~~Keeping us safe | ||||
I'll continue using this thread for progress pictures... okay?! Patty - Those quilts are nice. What is the name of the pattern for the second quilt? It's a pretty pattern. I turned the Scrappy Nines on point. I have some trimming to do and add a border... Editing: New picture This message has been edited. Last edited by: jessicasews, | ||||
Jessica, your quilts are amazing!: | ||||
Hello Wiley, my Teammate! My DH loves this top so much that he's put in an order... laughing! I really like the colors to this one too - very traditional. Can't wait to start another one. | ||||
Jessica, it is called "Between the Lines" by Mountainpeek Creations. It says it is an intermediate pieced quilt, but I thought it was very easy to make. | ||||
Thank you, Patty Info is now in my notebook! Think that pattern would be pretty in any theme. | ||||
Jessic I like the scrappy nine patch and my hubby does also. Will make a great quilt for someone. Thanks to you and Wiley for your efforts. You two work well together. Hugs, Maggie Keeping them warm~~~Keeping us safe | ||||
I'm going through my fabrics that are similar to these so that I can make one for DH! Yes! I love how the combination of fabrics are coming together! I recommend teaming up with another quilter! We started with 6.5" blocks which is often a size leftover from a previous project. Several quilters here have suggested Warm Wishes as a pattern that easy for a charity quilt... I have that on my list to do for this Challenge. Incredibly cold temps today... I better get back to quilt-making and warm up! | ||||

Hey, fellow mommies! Which is more effective: an exersaucer or jumperoo?
I have both. Sometimes my baby wants to jumps and squeal sometimes she just wants to sit and play in her exersaucer. She like both of them but does seem to favor her jumperoo. I have the bright starts pretty in pink version. She LOVES it.
I'm trying to decide also.
My kids liked them both immensely...
My daughter really liked her jumperoo. The way the one we had was she could act in it like an exersaucer.
Jumparoo all the way! We have the farm version and my son turns himself around to play with all the toys and jumps any time he feels like it! In fact, my husband asked the other evening if we should bolt it to the floor as our 5 month old jumps so hard it sounds like he's jumping off the floor. It really doesn't leave the floor though! It's one of my Top 5 fav baby things.
jumperoo! best money I've spent on my baby so far! she loves it

Going Green
Archived Tee - 2010-11-11About the artist
I am currently residing in a fallout shelter in Northeast Ohio, eating canned green beans and preparing for the zombie apocalypse (see below).
Tell us about yourself:
I am a pretty ordinary guy who occasionally likes to dabble in illustration and cartooning. I just like making people laugh, really, and those are the best ways I've found to do that.
What's a day in the life of Chris like?
Good question, I've been trying to figure that out for a while! I would say I am a pretty boring person, really. I typically get up (much later than I should) and go to work (or rather, rush to work on account of the first point), then come home and relax. If I have an idea that I'd like to work on, I'll usually do some sketches or jot down some ideas, but that is often as far as I get. Usually I end up reading a book or watching a movie. That is, until midnight when I don my crime fighting attire and purge the streets of criminal scum. Nothing too exciting.
What other interests do have besides t-shirt art?
I really also love books, but I especially love movies. I watch probably way more movies than I should, but I truly love the power of a good story. I have not really tried my hand at either thus far, but two of my life goals are writing and illustrating a book and making a film. Those are on my Bucket List between meeting Bigfoot and finding the secret to eternal youth. No luck with either so far.
This is your first print at Teefury. Got any other prints elsewhere?
I've been fortunate enough to have this be my fourth t-shirt print. I have had three shirts printed at Threadless over the past couple of years.
What do you want Teefury fans to know?
I guess I'd just like to say I hope you enjoy this design and thanks for the chance to share it!
Would you rather survive a zombie apocalypse or a nuclear apocalypse?
I have thought long and hard about this question for a while now, and I have ultimately come to the conclusion that surviving a zombie apocalypse would be much more fun. Anyone who has watched as many movies as I have knows that zombie outbreaks are often exhilarating and very entertaining, while the aftermath of a nuclear apocalypse is downright depressing. I mean, having to fend for yourself to survive against starvation and human depravity in a perpetual nuclear winter might sound like fun to some people, but not to me. Wall to wall gray skies? Blech! Besides, with a zombie apocalypse, even if you DON'T survive, you're still golden because then you become a zombie, and let's face it, zombies have all the fun!
Do you collect anything, or at least have any OCD about anything?
I wouldn't say that I really collect anything too actively, but I do save all my movie ticket stubs for some weird reason. I guess it ties back into my love of movies, and it's interesting to go back and look through the ticket stubs and see which movies I've gone to over the years ( "I saw Pearl Harbor three times?!") Also, I'm trying my best to get on Hoarders, but they won't return my calls.
Fans of any TV shows (old or new)? Why is it your favorite?
I actually don't watch that much tv, but there are a few shows that will always have a place in my heart. As a kid, I loved watching Knight Rider and Magnum P.I. for the sheer cheesy fun of it. Oh, who I am kidding, I wanted the sweet cars and the chest hair and 'stache! I still can't grow a mustache of any respectability and it remains a constant source of shame. Right now, the only show I regularly watch is Man vs. Food on the Travel channel because I love food and Adam Richman, the host, is hilarious. I will occasionally catch an episode of the Simpsons, which I think is one of the most brilliant shows ever and I don't watch it nearly enough. I also enjoy The Office and I love watching reruns of Arrested Development.
What's your art process like, from initial sketch to finished product?
Usually, a project for me starts with just an idea in my head of something funny that I'd like to see. I always keep a notebook on me for when an idea strikes and I feverishly scribble down my thoughts before I forget them. From that initial idea, I will usually do a rough sketch just to get a feel for the layout and from there, I will do a pencil drawing and then go over it in ink with a brush and a pen. The last step is scanning it in and adding color in Photoshop.
MAC or PC?
Growing up, I always used a PC, but I must say after working with Macs for the past few years, I am a convert. I still wouldn't say that I really have a true loyalty one way or the other, though. If someone wants to use a PC, that's cool, just don't try to talk to me. Or make eye contact. Seriously though, to each his/her own. We all have our preferences and mine happens to be Mac.
Recommend a product:
I found these little notebooks when I was in Portland recently called Writersblok and I really like them a lot. They are the perfect pocket size and they are made of bamboo paper, which I'm not sure is better than regular paper, but it sure sounds cool!
Any shout outs?
If I could, I would like to thank my friends Ricky and Sam for introducing me to TeeFury. They have always been really supportive of my t-shirt designing ambitions and I have them to thank for this print. Thanks guys, I really appreciate it.

The cold and flu season has officially arrived and this one is a doozy. Hospitals across the country are reporting widespread outbreaks and as of this writing, forty four states have been affected. This is also the time of year nasty stomach bugs hit kids. When children can't keep down food or water, dehydration is a big concern. Dr. Ben Hoffman at OHSU Doernbecher Children's Hospital reports seeing an uptick in the number of children being treated for dehydration.
To help parents caring for kids who've been hit with a nasty tummy bug, Dr. Hoffman has posted some helpful tips and tricks on the OHSU Doernbecher's Healthy Families blog. Here's a hint: Don't worry about making sure kids eat. When they feel crummy, fluids are THE most important thing.

Yes, Virginia, there really was a Florence Foster Jenkins. And her spirit is still alive and well in all of us, whether we dream of being singers or are totally tone-deaf. She was both of those but, oh, so much more.
And, that's why Stephen Temperley's brilliantly conceived and beautifully performed musical play, "Souvenir," starring Judy Kaye and Donald Corren and currently playing at the Asolo Theatre, is so side-splittingly funny and heart-breakingly bittersweet that no one will want to miss it.
Born about the same time the Civil War was ending, Foster Jenkins entered the 20th century as a well-endowed, deep-pocketed club woman who enjoyed giving her money to charities and her questionable talents to her friends. She hired a pianist to accompany her in her musical endeavors and proceeded to give numerous ear-shattering recitals of operatic arias and lieder to the amusement and astonishment of what was, at first, a small group of friends but later morphed into sold-out Carnegie Hall audiences. In addition, there is a recording that is still in circulation, which has become a best-selling CD.
Foster Jenkins heard only the most beautiful singing — in her head — and thought the tears (of laughter) and stifled, choked coughs (of hysteria) coming from her listeners were positive paeans of praise to her "artistry." Delusional? Not at all. Hers was a mind filled with hope and beauty. She loved great music and had the utmost respect for Mr. Mozart, Mr. Brahms and Mr. Verdi.
"Die Mainacht," a great song by Brahms, was something of a mainstay in her, um, repertoire, and when it appeared on her program she added this quote under the title: "O singer, if thou canst not dream, leave this song unsung."
Foster Jenkins may be superficially frou-frou, but beneath her matronly, fervent, upper-class exterior, there beats a heart so filled with music, love and the desire to please, one cannot help fall in love with her, especially in the body and voice of Judy Kaye, the great singing actress who received a Tony nomination for her portrayal of this role on Broadway. Kaye's ability to sing out of tune and rhythm is so uncanny, I felt my mascara dripping from my eyes as I, by turns, laughed so loud and cried so unabashedly I thought they might remove me from the theater.
Donald Corren, as the talented but musically frustrated Cosme McMoon, is only slightly too mannered in his appearance, but his abilities as pianist, singer and actor are award-worthy in a performance that is biting, wrenching and hilarious.
Vivian Matalon's direction is both uproarious and poignant, making this fine musical play nothing less than a jewel. It is theater and, yes, music at their finest, offering riotous entertainment and heart-wrenching nostalgia in a historical vignette that should be seen over and over and over again.

Andrejs Prāve, Head of Security
What is your position at airBaltic?
I am responsible for security at the company. As head of security, I have eight people working in my department, including me. Each of my employees is responsible for a specific sector. We coordinate all our activities, and each week I coordinate my activities with the Chief Operations Officer, Laila Odiņa, who is my direct supervisor and is responsible for the operational aspects of airBaltic.
So what exactly do you do all day long?
As I said, we are eight people, so there are eight basic functions. One is to coordinate our activities with all the European and Latvian authorities and the legislative acts. There are many regulatory documents in aviation, and particularly in security, which specify what must be in place and how—how certain services must work, according to what procedures, and who has to do what, when. This is a big job, and everything is reflected in our security handbook, which it is my job to keep up to date. I have also written and compiled this security handbook over time. Everything must also be approved by the necessary institutions, like the Civil Aviation Agency.
Are you also in charge of immigration matters?
Exactly, our department works to prevent illegal immigration. The airline is responsible for making sure passengers have valid travel documents. If a passenger does not have valid travel documents, then the airline is penalized. We therefore have to train people who register passengers and physically check documents.
So the airline is penalized if an individual crosses the border illegally?
Right. We are penalized if a passenger uses invalid travel documents. If they are forged documents, then that is not our responsibility. If it's not possible to spot this forgery without special technical tools, then it's not the airline's responsibility. It's our responsibility to make sure that people with obvious forgeries or invalid documents don't cross the border. This includes documents or visas that have expired, or invalid visas. This is the airline's responsibility. We coordinate these activities with the relevant immigration institutions.
Are you also responsible for the company's internal security?
Yes. We work to avoid the threat of potential theft, both inside the company and in our planes. We must track everything that is bought and sold in the airplanes—food products, alcohol, etc.—so that there are no incorrect steps in regards to these goods, both by passengers and by our employees. Potential threats could also arise from passengers using fake or stolen credit card numbers to purchase tickets. Our department must react to these threats, in collaboration with national authorities, the police, security services, and customs authorities.
How do you go about training employees?
In accordance with European legislation, each airline employee must be trained in security, at least at the basic level. This includes things like where passengers are and aren't allowed to go, what they are and aren't allowed to do, and what they aren't allowed to bring aboard. Everything from that to more complex matters. For this reason, I have a person in my department who has developed training programs. Together we have authorized these programs with the Civil Aviation Agency. These programs are used in Riga to train all of our subcontracted organizations, which provide us with grounds services like catering and cleaning. We also use the programs to train the ground handling companies we work with at our international destinations. Of course, we also train everyone who flies in our planes—cabin crews. This is a huge task, because we have more than one thousand employees. So there is a lot of work to be done.
What else are you responsible for?
We ensure the procedures for security clearances, and control access to airplanes. That's a whole sector in itself. We also take care of background checks for employees. This includes looking for things like prior criminal offences and unfavorable contacts. All these things come into our sphere of attention.
What did you do before airBaltic?
I've been at airBaltic for almost ten years. But before that I worked in the aviation security department at Riga Airport, where I worked for eight years in various positions. So I've been in this sector for almost eighteen years. And before I worked at the airport I was a professional athlete. That was back in the Soviet era. I was on the U.S.S.R. Waterskiing Team, and was a three-time all-Union champion in waterskiing. That took up all my time, my entire life. I worked long days—morning till night, twelve, fourteen, sixteen hours a day—and in a sense this "systematized" me and taught my how to work hard and to work well. Sports teaches you important things like how to work toward set goals. I graduated from the Physical Educational Institute, but when I started working at airBaltic I entered the Faculty of Law at the University of Latvia. And now I've almost completed my law degree.
How did your job change after the events of September 11, 2001?
All the requirements changed. And the conditions changed, too. For example, before that, there was an "open door" policy in regards to the cockpit: people could come inside the cockpit, look around, and see how the pilots flew the plane. That is no longer the case. The law requires that the cockpit door must be closed at all times.
What else has changed in your field?
In general, the authorities have become much more serious about aviation security. Before, it was more about preventative measures against criminal elements. Terrorism wasn't considered as much of a threat to aviation before September 11. It was taken into account, of course, though it was considered something very far away, something which could never happen to us. September 11 proved that this was wrong. Terrorism can take place anywhere, at any time, if the necessary measures haven't been taken in advance to guarantee proper security. These measures now include things like restrictions on liquids in carry-on baggage for passengers—this is a direct result of 9/11. The changes have been enormous.
Do you think that security is going to become tighter over time, or is it going to relax?
If we take into account the political situation today, and political statements in the realm of international security, then it looks like security measures are not going to be weakened. The world has not become a friendlier place, people have not become friendlier with one another. There are still threats. America has warned its citizens about visiting Europe and England and Paris, on account of threats from terrorist organizations. Just this week there was a threat to blow up the Eiffel Tower and Notre Dame in Paris. This proves that we haven't reached a level of mutual harmony. Though some things have changed, and the overall political situation stabilized somewhat when Obama came to power. But now it looks like there is an additional threat to European nations.
Do you feel that there is an extra burden of responsibility placed upon the shoulders of airlines to deal with matters that had previously been dealt with by other authorities?
Yes. Back in the Soviet period, airlines never answered for immigration matters. On one end there was a border guard who made sure all the documents were in order; and on the end there was another border guard who did the same thing. Aeroflot didn't have any responsibilities in this matter. But now, border guards aren't interested in whether you have an exit visa for the country to which you are traveling; that's the airline's sole responsibility.
What are some typical cases when this occurs?
For example, the airline is responsible if someone has two passports—one old and one new. The passenger's old passport has a valid visa for traveling to the Schengen zone, through Latvia. But the old passport is full, so the passenger has a new passport. But the valid visa has not been transferred to the new passport. If the passenger travels through Latvia to the Schengen zone, then we are penalized. It seems strange, but that's the way it is. That's how the law is interpreted.
These cases seem to highlight the fact that airlines are much more than just typical companies.
Well, one could say that an airline simply transports people from point A to point B. So why should airlines be responsible for immigration problems on an international scale? That seems strange. But that's how things have been arranged. The same holds true for security measures at airports—an airline must make sure that airports adhere to a specific set of security standards, as dictated by the law. The airline must conduct these inspections through a series of audits. Part of my job is to fly to all the airports and evaluate them from a safety perspective. The airlines are responsible—that has come about post-9/11, too. The airlines are responsible in the end. But that seems strange: why aren't the individual countries responsible? The individual countries could make sure that everything is okay. Why should the airline be responsible? But that's the way it is. Everything takes place in accordance with set procedures, as dictated to us by European institutions and international agreements. And if everything is in order, then we evaluate the situation to see that it is the same as elsewhere. If not, then we must perform extra measures. That's one of my own direct responsibilities at the company—to evaluate a contracted party, whether it's the Munich Airport or a small airport in Finland. They must conform to the same standards.
What are the central standards that you must evaluate at these airports?
Airplane security. We make sure that airplanes are secure from all sides—that unauthorized persons have absolutely no chance of entering airplanes at any moment. The same holds true for passengers and their checked baggage. We make sure there is no chance that any explosive or weapons can be brought into the aircraft. Access control: that is the central standard. We make sure that all persons are checked from a security perspective, and that the people who conduct these security checks and screenings are trained and know what to check and how, and use the correct equipment in secure areas. The same holds true for cargo, catering, the mail, and cleaning crews—everything and everyone must be checked, without exception. Because if, for instance, a member of the cleaning crew is not checked before entering the plane, he could cause a greater threat than a passenger.
What's your favorite part about the job?
You must constantly be prepared for the unknown. Usually these aren't anything pleasant, because my job is more or less connected with all sorts of troubles. Of course, I'd like for them to be as minimal as possible. But I must always be in "alert mode." Mostly the job is very calm: I sit at a computer analyzing data and conducting procedures. But something could happen at any moment, and then I'd have to get up and run and make quick decisions. For instance, somebody will call from an international station and ask whether or not we should take a particular passenger, for immigration reasons. The situations are never equivocal, and there are very complex cases. I must make a decision very quickly. But it's certainly always very interesting. Plus, we always have new destinations that I have to check out, and I get to see not only the airports but also the cities themselves. I've been to almost all of our destinations. And there's certainly quite a lot of them. Otherwise, I have to visit each airport once every three years. I go on these trips about once or twice a month. And everyone I go I get to talk to different people—people with all sorts of different backgrounds.
What are the moments when you get to be creative in your job?
As you may know, laws are never complete unto themselves; they are very much incomplete and open to interpretation. That's why they are often accompanied by lots of commentary. I'm the one who has to write these commentaries in our manuals and handbooks of procedures. They must be developed so that they are understandable to the relevant people who must carry them out. The creation of these procedures is therefore a creative process. It may look awful and dry on paper—it's a written text that you must struggle to understand—but these procedures must be created. You must decide who will do them, when, and how. It's a process of creation. The laws themselves are never complete; we must decide who must carry them out, what the situation is like at our company, and what are our traditions. And the specifics differ for each country, because no two places are the same.

What Is Discernment?
from Sinclair Ferguson Aug 23, 2013 Category: Articles

from Sinclair Ferguson May 17, 2013 Category: Articles
It is commonplace today in Reformed theology to recognize that the Christian lives "between the times" — already we are in Christ, but a yet more glorious future awaits us in the final consummation. There is, therefore, a "not yet" about our present Christian experience. John Calvin well understood this, and he never dissolved the tension between the "already" and the "not yet." But he also stressed the importance for the present of a life-focus on the future. Keep Reading -

Snickerdoodle Blondies
I've been craving snickerdoodles for weeks now. For me, that's a completely bizarre craving. I'm not much of a cookie person, and on the rare occasion when I do want cookies it's generally chocolate chip. I can probably count on one hand how many times I've made snickerdoodles so they're not exactly a favorite around here. But for whatever reason, I haven't been able to get them off my mind lately. Too bad I couldn't get motivated to actually make them - I guess I was expecting them to just magically show up on my doorstep :)
Finally, when I realized that wasn't going to happen, I started scouring Google for a recipe and that's when I found snickerdoodle blondies. Perfect! All the snickerdoodle goodness I was craving without the hassle of baking sheet after sheet of cookies. If we ever decide to sell our house, this is the recipe I want baking when potential buyers stop by. These blondies are truly one of the most fragrant goodies I've ever baked - I can't imagine anyone who wouldn't fall in love with their warm, cinnamon-y aroma. The dough is sprinkled with cinnamon-sugar before baking, and when the blondies emerge they have the perfect crackly topping, which yields to the tender cookie below. They're super easy to throw together and I always have these ingredients on hand, so the next time a snickerdoodle craving strikes here I'll be prepared!
Snickerdoodle Blondies
as seen on Brown Eyed Baker (originally from Dozen Flours, I think)
2 2/3 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
2 cups packed light brown sugar
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature
2 eggs, at room temperature
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
2 teaspoons cinnamon
Preheat oven to 350 F. Spray a 9x13-inch baking pan lightly with cooking spray.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg.
In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter and brown sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition and stopping to scrape the bowl as necessary. Beat in the vanilla. With the mixer on low, gradually add the flour mixture, beating just until combined. Stir the dough one final time with a rubber spatula to ensure any flour on the bottom of the bowl is incorporated.
Transfer the dough to the prepared baking pan. Spread in an even layer - I like to use my fingertips to spread the dough. I just put a piece of plastic wrap between my fingers and the the dough so it won't be too sticky. Combine the granulated sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl and sprinkle evenly over the top of the batter.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the surface of the blondies springs back when gently pressed. Remove the pan to a wire rack and let the blondies cool completely before cutting.

I love this light. It was easy to install and looks great. It's different than what I found in stores and it provides a lot of light.
These lights are really striking, and they give off a lot of light. I really like them now that they're installed. However, they were difficult to install because you have to install the back plate while holding the entire fixture. It took two of us to install, and it was difficult to keep it level (especially given that we discovered our mirror below was not installed level). Overall, these look really nice and helped give our bathroom an updated feel.
Two of these were installed in a spa-style master bath with espresso maple cabinetry and warm gray marble. These fit the space perfectly without too much bling or shine. The lighting, combined with two recessed lights were an excellent combination for this long, narrow dressing area portion of the bath. No halos around globes and the light is true colors when using clear halogen bulbs. Client expressed that she no longer needed a lighted makeup mirror and that she felt more confident that her makeup looked better because she has more accurate lighting. Easy installation and true stainless steel coloring made for soft contemporary classic styling.
This light fixture looks good when installed. It is easy to install, and provides enough light with the 4 60 Watt bulbs. I think they should have included the bulbs in the package but then, it says that it does not. I am happy with the ease of install, the looks and plenty of light it provides.
Excellent light fixture and about $100 less than I could find it locally!
Product looks great above a bathroom mirror. The first one I received had a wiring issue and two of the lights wouldn't come on. I contacted overstock and they were helpful, fast, and apologetic. The replacement was in a few short days later. Well done.
I love contemporary but I live in a colonial house. This light fixture has a very modern look but the shape of the shades gives it a substantial appearance that doesn't look out of place in the house. I think it would look good with almost any type of decor.
Replaced the "builder standard" with a new look that complements our new d�cor. Couldn't be happier about my purchase!
I am very pleased. I looked for a good looking contemporary light fixture -- with a long base on the wall, as I would be covering an unfortunately large hole from the previous fixture. This is just right. I chose the 4-light option and it replaces a fixture with 5 lights, and even though the light is "up-facing", the light is great. I'm using 40 watt bulbs in the guest room and 60 watt bulbs for the same fixture in a good sized master bedroom.

That Wait!!! I was surprised to see that the apple seeds in my refrigerator have just started to sprout!!! They have only been in the frig. for 3 MOS.! Patience IS a virtue! | |||
What happened to Bana's post? I know I saw one earlier?????????? I was going to agree with her...Wavy Appleseed! "The soil is the source of life, creativity, culture and real independence." David Ben-Gurion | ||||
i took it off.. no one posted after that and i thought, "oh no.. i've killed another thread." [what i said was, 'wavy appleseed... yes, that has a nice ring to it.'] | ||||
And, Bana, I liked that comment...please don't remove your posts...they're all interesting and fun. We may not always comment, but we like all posts. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ "I've decided to quit my job, drop out of society, and wear live animals as hats." | ||||
Ditto what mgt said! Congrats on the sprouting seeds Wavy! In ten years you can harvest your own apples!! . Just kidding. Makes you feel good to see positive results from an experiment doesn't it. ve | ||||
And when you remove your post I remove my post cause I feel silly posting it.... Wavy Appleseed It Tis Then!! Don't disappear, I hope to share my apples with y'll next decade, just be patient and stay well!!!!! And...... Only 51 Days Until Spring!!! SPRING HAS F I N A L L Y SPRUNG!!!!! | ||||
Cool, I wish I could grow apples. There must be some variety that can take Florida mild winters and still produce. Bana....just how many threads have you killed? I think you were set up! LOL! Innocent until proven guilty I say! Whether You Think You Can Or You Think You Can't..... You're Right - Henry Ford | ||||
taking the 5th! but i want you on my jury. | ||||
Wavy congrats, how did you know to sprout the seeds in the refrigerator? I never heard of that method. Zone9alady, Does your area of Florida have 200 - 300 hours of temps below 45 degrees? If it does you can grow apple trees that will produce fruit. You need to find low chill varieties in order for the fruit to form. Here's a link to Dave's Garden website with a guide for choosing apple varieties for Florida - http://davesgarden.com/guides/articles/view/1685/ | ||||
Thanks still tryin! Some years we have very cold winters but the last two have been pretty warm. It's the end of January and we haven't had a hard freeze yet! It looks like spring around here. I always see young apple trees at Lowes or HD, so I hope they are selling appropriate varieties for this location, if not, people are just wasting their money. Whether You Think You Can Or You Think You Can't..... You're Right - Henry Ford | ||||

Perspectives: Energy Saver
Plant-Wide Energy Assessment Boosts Savings
Base-level analysis reveals potential savings of $1.5 million annually.
While it's a little more time consuming, a plant-wide assessment approach yields better results compared to a piecemeal approach — more than justifying the extra effort and resources. In this case study, Formosa Plastics Corporation, U.S.A. partnered with the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) to assess the energy efficiency of the company's linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) plant in Point Comfort, Texas.
The plant manufactures polyethylene pellets for downstream customers that produce plastic consumer products. The primary production process is polymerization, converting ethylene into useful and stable polyethylene pellets. Four process units carry out production: namely, the catalyst preparation unit, prepolymerization unit, polymerization unit and the additives and pelletizing unit. The process requires electricity, water, natural gas, nitrogen and steam utilities.
Staff from the plant's operations and engineering departments and a consulting firm made up the energy assessment team. The consulting firm developed two decision tools for the assessment. The team used benchmark data to calculate sustainability metrics that identified the energy intensity (kWh required per pound of product) for each process area. They also calculated practical minimum energy (PME) or base-level energy requirements through a pinch analysis and a fluid-handling analysis to determine the minimum energy needed to compress and transfer liquids from one process to another. PME data also helped identify cost-benefit effects of implementing process improvements with investment criteria of 2–3-year payback.
The assessment revealed five projects that could save energy, increase productivity, and reduce waste and environmental emissions.
Upgrade the gas compressor impeller. The gas compressor that recovers ethylene discharged from the polymerization reactor along with polyethylene used a significant amount of energy. The assessment team recommended an open-type impeller design that would consume 14% less electricity than the existing closed-type impeller under the same operating conditions. The new impeller also would reduce potential polyethylene buildup, which can cause blockages and cut operating efficiency.
Improve the product transfer system. In studying the product transfer system's equipment and operation, the team identified that 14 blowers, with a combined rating of 3,500 hp, were used to transfer LLDPE resin through various process steps. Because these processes require a significant amount of electricity, the team suggested two steps: increase the transfer rate, and reduce the idle time between product transfers through production control and distributive control system monitoring. During the assessment, the first step was implemented immediately in one area. Reducing the idle time alone resulted in electricity cost savings estimated at $133,760/yr.
Improve extruder system heating. The first four sections of the extruder system are used to melt the powder fed into the extruder. An electric heating element with a water-cooling system maintains the correct melting temperature. The assessment team found that the cooling water flow and the heating element temperature weren't optimal, consuming more electricity and cooling. Hence, the team developed a better control plan for the heating element, reducing its temperature range, and upgrading the cooling water manifold.
Recover steam condensate. Steam provides the heat needed for the LLDPE production process. The plant originally was designed to discharge steam condensate into the cooling tower as a source of cooling tower makeup water. Water used to produce steam must be demineralized before it's fed to boilers or other steam-producing devices. After analyzing the pros and cons, the team recommended transferring steam condensate to the plant's waste-heat boiler for use as pure feed water makeup. This would save $56,000 annually, due to less use of pure feed water makeup for the boiler and natural gas. The project also reduced the amount of pure water required in the extrusion area.
Optimize the vent blower system. During a historical data review and field operation check of the system, the team found that a much smaller system would meet venting requirements. The newly installed, smaller vent blower system saves $35,840/yr in energy costs.
In total, the assessment identified potential fuel savings of 115,000 MMBtu and electricity savings of 14 million kWh for an annual cost savings of $1.5 million and means to increase productivity and reduce environmental emissions. The team also generated a list of PME standards for LLDPE processes.

"Teeny Tiny Trucks" -- New Children's Picture Book by Tim McCanna and illustrated by Keith Frawley
"A Troop is a Group of Monkeys" -- New Children's Picture Book by Julie Hedlund and illustrated by Pamela Baron
MILWAUKEE, Oct. 15, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Little Bahalia Publishing LLC is proud to announce the release of two new picture books in its Fall lineup: Teeny Tiny Trucks and A Troop is a Group of Monkeys.
The first book, Teeny Tiny Trucks, written by Tim McCanna and illustrated by Keith Frawley, is a debut for McCanna, best known for his children's music. Indeed, the story of "Teeny Tiny Trucks" began as a catchy, trucker-themed song for kids. Little Bahalia will be making both the song and its sheet music available on its website, so parents and music teachers alike can take advantage of the opportunity to incorporate music into the experience of the story.
Teeny Tiny Trucks, like most of Little Bahalia's publications, will also be available as an animated iPad book app in October on the iTunes store.
Illustrator Keith Frawley has created fresh, contemporary illustrations for the book, using a style similar to his digital paintings for Dreamworks' "Turbo" storybook, which he illustrated earlier in 2013. Says Frawley, "I really enjoyed doing this book. I even made a girl truck, a purple one with long eyelashes, because as a father of girls I knew that would be a nice touch."
A Troop is a Group of Monkeys by Julie Hedlund and illustrated by Pamela Baron is the much-anticipated hardcover version of the popular children's iPad app of the same title. Little Bahalia released two apps in 2013 from this series: Troop and its sequel, A Shiver of Sharks, which featured ocean animals in a similar format. The Troop app was named one of the "Top 50 Kids' Apps of 2013" by The Guardian earlier this year, and has enjoyed critical success. "I am so delighted that it's coming out in hardcover as well," says Hedlund. "This is a book that teaches vocabulary, so it's ideal that children are able to experience it in different ways."
Both books are available in wide release as of October 15, 2013.??
About the publisher: Little Bahalia publishes children's literary fiction and nonfiction in a variety of media formats, with a focus on iPad apps. From the publisher: "We believe tablet computers open up wonderful possibilities for experiencing stories. Our goal is to bring stories to life using animation and sound in exciting new ways. Our intent at Little Bahalia is to keep pushing the boundaries of storytelling as new technologies emerge and to offer exciting new opportunities for authors and artists." To arrange an interview with the author or illustrator, contact Stacey Williams at Little Bahalia Publishing -- firstname.lastname@example.com (414) 477-7282.
