Your view on Beauty |
Beauty is like creativity. It's not tangible yet it's extremely valuable. It's hard to define yet you definitely know it when you see it. It's all around us yet we miss a lot of it. It is an extremely important trait that we should strive to understand better. There are a variety of view on what beauty is. To get your mind running, here are a few different ideas on the matter:
There are many ideas on what beauty is and what makes things beautiful. Many believe it to be something that is quite personal with everyone having differing tastes. Do you think there is an underlying principle to beauty? What is beauty to you? When you're creating something beautiful, where do you draw your inspiration from?

Hole Side Living, Ha Ha!
Part of my new life with a chronic disease is blood work.I am constantly having blood work done. I feel like sometimes my life is appointments, blood work, waiting, results, and relief, not a way to live. I realized the other day that this is it , this is what Hashem want for me right now. I will forever be monitored, and honestly that is ok, because i have life to be monitored, it could be a lot worse. So as i packed up the kids in the van yesterday to have some, yes you guessed it, blood work done, i did a u-turn and decided to have the work done at Quarry Lake.
Let me tell you about Quarry Lake. This is a development that went up in my neighborhood a few years ago, made up over priced homes and a fancy shopping center all centered around a Quarry, also know as a huge hole. My husband and i use to laugh and laugh at the billboards "Beautiful Quarry Lakeside Homes" and we were like more like "hole Side homes" hahahaha.
Then one day we noticed after a few years of huge storms that the Quarry filled and it became this beautiful lake. Look who is laughing now, not us.
What is my point here... My point is that i have decide that if things like blood work are now my life, i'm going to make the best of it.
Im going to do blood work at Quarry lake,and enjoy the view,and gorgeous sunset ( even if it is at 4pm) window shop all the fancy boutiques, and hey give up a few pints while I'm at it. Now that is living.
Oh yes my loves the bracelets are officially in the store now. Here is the link If you are ordering just one bracelet please use this code: JUSTONE for free shipping anything over one bracelet i have to charge shipping on. Thanks guys!

Wow... someone mentioned i should check out your blog and im pretty much blown away. Firstly, your kids are k"h beautiful! Secondly, your words are perfect and inspiring. My perfect little daughter has Spina Bifida and i understand so much of what you are writing in your blog. I too, love every single ounce and being of my daughter. I dont think there is a way of describing the love- i think because you put SOO much effort in them and you get soo much back, it just makes your heart swell with even more love. Am i rambling? Anyway, keep it up- love reading it.

Monday, June 15, 2009Valentine to the Nats?That's the speculation from Jon Heyman anyway:Manny Acta appears to be on his way out as Nationals manager, and while respected ex-big league manager Jim Riggleman reportedly will be installed as the interim manager, team higher-ups also have begun internal discussions about permanent candidates. One of those candidates to replace Acta, according to National League sources, is Bobby Valentine, who is currently in his seventh season as manager of the Chiba Lotte Mariners in Japan. I think Valentine is as good a candidate as any, and to be sure, his contract situation with Chiba Lotte is such that he is probably looking for a Major League offer. But please, can someone tell me what "National League sources" are? If it's someone on the Nats, that could be news, but presumably Heyman would say a "Nationals source" if he had one. Isn't anyone else in the National League speculating just like anyone else? Posted by Craig Calcaterra at 2:46pm Comments
Aaron Moreno said...
The source is anyone who's seen Bobby V. angle for a new gig in the States for most of the past decade. Posted 06/15 at 02:59 PM
Wooden U. Lykteneau said...
Maybe it *is* a Nationals source, but he felt like "major-league source" would be too much of a stretch. Posted 06/15 at 03:46 PM
Joao said...
It could be someone from the Nats who didn't feel comfortable being quoted as a Nationals source (there would be, how many, maybe 3-4 people within the organization who know about the Valentine possibility) or it could be someone from an NL who has worked with Valentine and was called by the Nats to discuss Valentine.

While it's been 26 years since my father stopped writing for SI, I can clearly remember him grumbling about idiotic changes made to his stories by fact checkers and editors. It is well within the realm of possibility (especially given the shoddy copy editing I've seen in local and national newspapers and magazines as budgets have been slashed in the past few years) that he did in fact write "National's sources" and someone else mistakenly changed it to "National League sources". Posted 06/15 at 05:21 PM
Michael said...
Why would Bobby V. want to do this? I mean, the way the Marines ownership has treated him really blows, but you'd think there'd be a better potential MLB job out there than DC. This is a job for a starter manager - at least until the Nats grab 2 or 3 more #1 draft picks. bjones: If all Heyman's bad sourcing was due to his editors, he'd have something like $5 million in career-damages lawsuit money due him by now.

Today many customers are looking at ways to consolidate their IT systems. By way of application consolidation through hardware consolidation using partitioning methodologies like LPARs, database consolidation using Named Instances, or by way of the most popular method today which is virtualization using hypervisors like Hyper-V and VMware. As many of you already know, the consolidation of these IT components help to lower cost of ownership by reducing the number operating systems or databases, reducing hardware footprint in datacenters, and even improving DR Failover. Now most customers today have already consolidated or have begun working on a strategy to consolidate their environments. However, in most cases they may have missed the mark when it comes to truly taking advantage of all the benefits consolidating an IT infrastructure could have. Our goal with this series of blogs is to help customers start thinking of how they can use major IT engagements like consolidation projects to introduce new or revamp existing IT standards. For most of you reading this, the next response is more than likely "what do you mean"!
Over the past 6 years the Microsoft LOB CoE has been heavily focused on working with new customers on replatforming and deploying SAP on the Microsoft platform. During those years our customers have been asking the CoE to focus on how they can get the most out of their consolidation (or replatforming) efforts during these engagements. Based on this we have started taking into consideration other areas that impact IT which we call "Value Added Services". Items that we place emphasis on include Standardization, Optimization, Streamlining and Simplification of the architecture for deployment, testing, maintenance and overall operational services.
For this series of blogs we will focus on Standardization of the platform architecture (application, database, server, etc…) for projects like consolidation efforts. Standardization provides customers with the ability to define templates for rapid deployment of applications, simplify operations and administration, provide consistency in application and platform behavior whether daily operations or during testing. It also allows for alignment of IT with the Business and its expectations surrounding IT's behavior in supporting OLAs, which support SLAs. The standards mentioned in this series of blogs can also be incorporated for Replatform and New Deployment projects.
SAP components used as examples will SAP ECC, BI, APO, Solman and PI. So the first question is where to start! With customers planning the consolidation of SAP environments (new or existing) on the Microsoft platform, we start with sizing the environment. Sizing the environment is a practice for all existing and new SAP customers and done by way of either gathering statistics or using the SAP Quicksizer tool. This information from either method will be used to provide a sizing footprint that can be used for creating some of the standards for our consolidation efforts. How is that? Well an SAP sizing, using Quicksizer for new deployments or information gathered for existing environment will be utilized to determine the number of SAPs (SAP performance metric) for each SAP application environment (Development, Test, Production, etc…). Next the hardware vendors will take the SAPs sizing information and convert it into a hardware sizing that includes the number of processors (cores), memory, disk space and so forth. The sizing process usually runs about 1 – 2 months depending on the customer, new or existing implementation, hardware vendor, and back and forth discussions. Here is an example of the results for a new virtual environment from such an effort:
As can be seen we now know the amount of resources required for our SAP environments. Although this does not show a detailed breakdown it gives you an idea of what you are working with from a resources point of view. A deeper dive into the spread sheet would reveal a breakdown of number of VMs per environment, development, test, sandbox, production and other systems making up the landscape.
Based on the sizing information from the hardware vendor we can now focus on writing our standards that will align with our consolidation methodology. For the consolidation methodology we will utilize the following standard developed from the pharmaceutical customer engagement. Using this as an example will allow us to simplify this discussion and avoid a lengthy conversation over a standard that took weeks to agree upon. The consolidation methodology will consist of the following:
So these are just a few of our requirements, but enough to get us going on standardizing our configuration standard for the virtual environments. Many of these standards will be carried forward into Part 2 of this blog when we focus on standards for our database consolidation effort. However, keep in mind that this is a pharmaceutical customer we are using as an example and therefore we have standards related to qualified and non-qualified environments we must follow for compliance with government standards.
Now we take all of the above information and begin to develop our standards. Some have already been outlined for us in the previous bullets. For example, we know we will use clustering to eliminate SPOFs, SQL Server Named Instances for consolidation of DBs, Multi-SID for consolidation of Central Services and all applications will be virtualized. Let's start with our virtualization standard. We first need to develop VM footprints for the SAP applications as part of the virtualization standards. Based on the previous sizing information and the more detailed spreadsheet (not seen here), we can easily deduct that we will have VM sizes from X-Small to X-Large as part of our configuration standard. We refer to this as our T-Shirt sizings. The virtual server throughput capacity listed in the 'Estimate SAPS' column (not shown) is an extrapolation based on the number of vCPUs as a fraction of the total CPUs in the physical servers. The associated virtual resources allocated to each category of virtual machines are summarized in the table below: VMs that will look like the following:
Application Server VM T-Shirt Sizing
VM Sizes
Memory (GB)
Next we define the number of work processes we can deploy per image and add a column to represent this. The following was based on a combination of SAP standards found in SAP OSS Notes and the customer's experience.
Application Server VM T-Shirt Sizing (modified)
As part of the standardization process we also need to develop a pattern for the types to be utilized on each of the SAP Application VM. The distribution of WP between the different types must fit into the model above. This is again based on SAP standard and customer experience. So results will vary by customer. Below we are using only Medium and Large as an example, but the information is developed using guidance from SAP OSS Notes and resources, and customer historical experience:
Example of WP Type Breakdown
VM Size
V1 Update
V2 Update
Total WP
As can be seen we have defined the number of Dialog, Batch, Spool and Update process that each image will have. The next step following this would be to define the volume sizes for the VMs. For example, page file size and volume size would be based on the amount of memory each VM has. Following that you would look at defining the type of drivers, NIC team, patching levels to be used as part of the VM standard. An example of this would be would be using Secure Path over MPIO for the Virtual Host Bust Adapter, since the VMs would reside on a SAN. Another example would be NIC configuration Load Balancing over Fault Tolerance.
Now that we have defined the VM standards for size of VMs, number of work processes, and process types, we need to define which applications fit into which templates or T-Shirt sizing as we call it. Below is an example of how we broke up ABAP and JAVA instances to fit into the T-Shirt sizing.
Applications Mapped to T-Shirt Sizing
BI (Java)
ECC (Java)
PI (ABAP+Java)
PI AdapterEngine (Java)
Solman (ABAP+Java)
Note: Although Java instances are listed above, they are not referred to in Part 1 of this blog.
Once we have completed defining the standards for the VM standards in our consolidation effort, then the next step is to define our Host system standards. The standards will be the following:
There are many more areas to address than listed here from standardization point of view. However, since this is provided as part of the Architecture Design Workshop conducted by the LOB CoE during the design phase of the engagement, I am excluding some of these items. In other words, I do not want to give away too much in this blog J, but provide just enough for customers to get the picture. Consolidation, replatforming or new deployment projects provide customers with the perfect opportunity to take advantage of implementing or updating IT standards for platform, infrastructure or applications. Focus on using standards to simplify deployment, administration and maintaining of applications. In closing, the above standards were designed to fit the needs of the customer that we worked with and are based on Industry, SAP, Microsoft and historical customer data for an existing SAP environment. These standards were not meant to meet the needs of all customers, where dramatic variances could be introduced based on many factors, including existing or new deployment, historical data and platform version (Server/OS/DB). These standards are meant to show customers what can and should be done during Architecture Design Workshops for consolidation, replatforming, and new deployment projects, which provide IT with the opportunity to introduce or revamp IT standards.
For customers interested in learning more about Architecture Design Workshops delivered by Microsoft's Line of Business (LoB) CoE. Please email the LoB CoE Team at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Did any one get the or planning on getting the
JEROME'S BONUS CODE EVENT this weekend?? Is another
I got it.
Jeromes code worth 1000 points: ANNIVERSARY
There's also a code worth 5,000 points that they give you if you buy $500 worth of merchandise. I was low on cash, sorry.
Way to go lrleon2, thanks!!
The 2500 points code from Sycan High Rollers is:
Hey River,
The code didn't work...it said code expired, does anyone else get that message?
yeah i got that message, i thought maybe its because i got the 2500 points from sycuan last time.
Was it the same code as last time...if you remember?
2500 code was expired for me as well..
thanks though!
i didn't have control of that code...the people at sycuan said that they would give a list of people who signed up to fox and they'll give the points. so technically there was no code that time.Originally posted by romania
Was it the same code as last time...if you remember?
Sorry guys, I got the code on the 5th, so maybe it changes by day or something
For those interested, Fox 6 has finally put up the tickets for Huckjam. I purchased them for my daughter, because she is into the whole "skater punk" scene.
The American Idol tickets have also been posted for those interested. The show is on Tuesday. I bought these tickets too, so I hope to see you there!
Again...just for you MissyUSA
Sycuan code for today worth mega points
Hope you get in on this...this time
The code worked for me. Thank you very much!
I knew you'd all be impressed
Code worked for me too....thanks bunches!!
Sunday night sports show word-playoffs
Trivia answer: Sam, the Cooking Guy's Garlic Bread
Geeezzz thank you sooooooooo much Romania!!!!!!
Got this one.. not the 2500, but that is ok...
I'm happy.... Such a deal!!!!!!!!!
THANK YOU~!!! YIPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE another 1000
p.s. stay cool today.. 90 degree's ouch

Just a quick question....I went to pick up my rewards today, and the receptionist didn't know anything about the Tony Hawk "meet and greet". I know the prize pack I purchased included the "meet and greet", so I asked her about it. I ended up leaving with nothing, because I didn't want my daughter to miss the chance to meet Tony Hawk.
Has this happened to anyone else? How do I resolve this?
navyone... print out the rewards page with the tony hawk meet and greet on it (it's still there as of 9pm)... and take it with you* I had the same problem on another prize.

In remission since May 2007~~ and counting.
I have been forcing my self to listen to UPN tonight and have not heard one bonus code.. Did I miss something?
I assume fox6 didn't have any because of the game right?
Hi guys, I think I screwed up. Try the Sycuan code again, but all Zeros:
Dude - code totally rocks. Thanks bro.

The plant ran on emergency diesel generating power overnight
RICHMOND, Va., Aug. 23, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Dominion Virginia Power's North Anna Power Station has restored off-site power, eliminating the need to rely on its back-up generators. The station remains in an Alert, the second lowest of the four emergency classifications of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
The station's two nuclear reactors shut down following an earthquake near the station that occurred at 1:51 p.m. EDT today. The reactors shut down automatically and no damage has been reported to systems required to maintain the station in a safe condition. Several aftershocks felt in the region that occurred later today did not affect the station.
As designed, four diesel generators supplied power to the station while the off-site power was unavailable. One of the four generators was taken off-line to repair a generator coolant leak, but a fifth generator at the station was activated to replace it until the offsite power was restored. Repairs are complete to the diesel generator.
The company also inspected the Lake Anna Dam after the earthquake and determined it sustained no damage. Station inspections are continuing to assure no damage has resulted from the seismic event.
No release of radioactive material has occurred beyond those minor releases associated with normal station operations.
The earthquake was felt at the company's other nuclear power station, Surry Power Station in southeast Virginia, but not as strongly. Both units at Surry continue to operate safely. Surry has exited a Notification of Unusual Event (NOUE) it declared earlier today, the least serious of four NRC emergency classifications.
U.S. nuclear power stations, including Dominion's four stations, were built to seismic standards for their regions.
Dominion Virginia Power is a subsidiary of Dominion (NYSE: D). Headquartered in Richmond, Va., Dominion is one of the nation's largest producers of energy. For more information about Dominion, visit the company's Web site at www.dom.com.

It appears that Ceri's comment didn't include a link to the video. It can be found here.
I found the video to be interesting, and I would definitely recommend it to anyone who is concerned about the aftermath of the tsunami at the Fukushima I plant. - August 24, 2011 at 1:37:00 PM EDT

In the same week, Charlie Sheen (born named Carlos Irwin Estévez, according to IMDB) declared he's Jewish, and there's been talk of a possible McDonald's "McWinning" menu item in Sheen's honor in time for St. Patrick's Day. I am for once, without words. I lied—I have many.
You can check the latest app, The Charlie Sheen Jewish Name Generator, via the Jerusalem Post. And, according to OK Magazine, Sheen re-tweeted the idea of a "McWinning" sandwich. All trash news? Yes. While I love a good 'ol game of Jewish geography as much as the next gal, the process of tracing Sheen's Heeb lineage through a barrage of ridiculous entertainment links on Google makes my head spin and makes me slightly nauseated.
According to Google search result numbers, Charlie Sheen is getting searched about 15 million times more than the tsunami in Japan. Let's pause and soak that in.
I'm a bit fermished. We just had daylight savings, it's nearly spring and I'm having trouble finding the sunshine and a sense of equilibrium amidst political unrest at home and in the Middle East as well as natural and man-made disasters in Asia, which have real consequences.
In the meantime, Sheen is "winning" his way straight to the bank after throwing an incoherent fit about wanting a few more million from CBS executives, and is making it repetitively unclear why he's watch-able and interesting on broadcast interview after broadcast interview. And yet, we continue to watch. He's already amassed more than 2 million followers on Twitter and his touring show, "My Violent Torpedo of Truth/Defeat Is Not An Option Show," scheduled to drop by the Chicago Theatre April 3, is sold out, according to the Chicago Tribune.
Let's face it: Sheen has always been a letch. In my opinion, he peaked during his "Hot Shots" film days in the 1990s. But, people are still taking great interest in his not-so-grandiose fall, just as Americans watched in awe when Britney Spears went a little bonkers and shaved her head, or when Kelly Bensimon might or might not have had a meltdown on the Real Housewives of New York City last year.
Why do we like to watch semi-talented super stars plummet to their publicity deaths? Does it make them a bit more human and give us a little elitist gratification? Perhaps watching Sheen's tsunami of self-destruction is gratifying in the way that a Jersey Shore or Kardashians' marathon is gratifying; it makes us feel a little smarter and a little more in control of the world.
How do we process all that has transpired in the world this year? Watch another episode of Jersey Shore? Volunteer? Protest on capital steps? Hope this is the calm after the storm?
Oy, world…is it spring yet?

By: Brendan BilkoGetting swept by the Marlins following a series loss to the Nationals at home has been frustrating to say the least. Two weeks ago this team was overachieving and in sole possession of first place. Now the team's starting pitching is in it's regression swing, Jerry Manuel is making absurd managerial decisions (more of a constant I suppose), Oliver Perez won't accept a minor league assignment (therefore wasting a roster spot), and our starting right fielder is posting a wOBA of .288. Utterly demoralizing? Nah. Frustrating? Sure.
This team is a .500 ball club that will need a ton of things to bounce their way in order to be anything more than that. The National League is looking awfully mediocre in the early season, and the potential to be above .500 is certainly there. However, right now the Mets aren't even close to maximizing their chances for that to happen. I'm not one for writing armchair GM posts, but figured you only live once. Here are a few thing's I believe could help put this team in a better position to win:
Optimize the lineup – I understand that many people think Jose Reyes is best used out of the leadoff spot. I also understand that he has performed better since being moved back there. But it's been two games. Jose ain't right and he's currently hurting this team being at the top of the lineup.
The other big problem with this lineup? DAVID WRIGHT BATTING FIFTH! Jesus is it ridiculous that our best hitter is losing at bats to Luis Castillo and Alex Cora. While I know this lineup might look a little extreme, this is how I'd structure it at the moment:
1. David Wright
2. Ike Davis
3. Angel Pagan
4. Jason Bay
5. Jose Reyes
6. Rod Barajas
7. Jeff Francoeur / Chris Carter
8. Pitcher
9. Luis Castillo / Alex Cora
This is partially based off of the lineup optimization tool with a few switches I've made that take into account some assumed future regression. You can read our past post on lineup optimization here and a more detailed post here at BTB. The short of it though is that based on our current 25-man roster construction, this lineup will score more runs than the way things are now. People keep talking about a shake up. Here you have one.
Eat some salary - Much easier said then done when you aren't writing the checks, but there are a number of players on this team with roster spots that just shouldn't have them. If there is one player to be picked to go first, I'm sure we would all agree with kicking Gary Matthews, Jr. to the curb. It's an insignificant sum of money in relation to the overall payroll, and with Jason Pridie in the minors there is no reason to have GMJ as the reserve center fielder.
The other guy I'm sure tons of fans are ready to cut would be none other than Oliver Perez. However his contract is about 10% of the Mets current payroll making it a much more difficult pill to swallow. I'm not sure if the organization has reached out to Ollie's boy Scott Boras yet to talk about the plausibility of a minor league assignment, but if they haven't they need to. If their camp doesn't budge after Perez is banished and buried in the pen, cut him. No use in wasting a roster spot.
Play Jeff Francoeur less – Fernando Tatis or Chris Carter might just be a better option at the right field position than it's current starter. Francoeur's "renaissance" was statistical noise, a ruse, a sham. He's a slightly below average defender being trotted out there under the pretense of "ZOMG HE HAS THE GREATEST ARM EVER!!" I understand he's a good guy with an infectious smile that flies Delta, but he is of detriment to this team when in the lineup. By default, it couldn't hurt to give either Carter or Tatis some playing time.
Fire Jerry Manuel – Though we know a manager's effect on a ballclub's performance is very slim, there are at least two areas where they can put the team in the best position to win – lineup construction and bullpen management. Jerry Manuel has failed miserably in both of these departments.
We've partially discussed his incompetence at filling out the lineup card above. As for bullpen management, you can read my post on Met's relievers and their use based on leverage index here. Though the data in that post is a couple of weeks old, the concept holds steady – use your best relievers in highest leverage situations. If the player doesn't succeed then he doesn't succeed, but the process of putting your best player in the most important situation at that time is essential. Not only does Jerry fail at this, but he reuses the same mediocre relievers for days upon days in a row. "Nightly Nieve" and "Perpetual Pedro" should not be a part of our collective lexicon. End the bullshit and just can this guy already. It's inevitable and the buildup to it is trite.
I'm sure a number of these things have been discussed around the blogosphere already and I apologize if any of this has been redundant. While any of the aforementioned changes would be nice to see, does anyone actually anticipate any of these ideas coming to fruition? Me neither.

Hopefully this doesn't sound mean but I am ready for Amanda to go. I haven't liked her character since she was introduced. I want Jack and Emily to be together and they can't with Amanda and the baby in the picture.
It's amanda or the baby. Charlotte told victoria that she could not leave with victoria because charlotte was going to be an aunt. She wanted to stay to be with her sister. Victoria being the evil vindictive witch that she is has done something to get amanda and/or the baby out of the way so she can have charlotte all to herself.

Stories in the Rock
In Maine's remote corners an ancient people still speak through enigmatic engravings.
- By: Michael Burke
I am looking, and seeing, but I don't know what I'm seeing, so I keep on looking. I am standing on an art canvas, a religious site, and a good place to while away the time. It is a cool day in November, not yet cold, that point in November when we still welcome winter.
I am standing on a rock on the shore of Grand Lake Stream, that short, lovely waterway that is famous among fishermen in the northeast. Once one of the great fishing streams in the country, home of land-locked salmon between Grand Lake upstream and Big Lake down, the stream was also once the pathway for Passamaquoddy who traveled through this area before the dam was built that made Grand Lake.
The rock is covered in scratches, gouges, holes, marks. At first the marks are just weatherings, the kind of thing any rock might have, but then as I look harder — although looking "harder" in this case is self-defeating — as I look more carefully, some of the marks become regular, not the random weatherings of water and ice and other rocks. I see a line, another at an angle to the first, and another at an angle to the second, and it becomes a zigzag, and then I see an eye or something like an eye and then I see more lines and more images and I know I am looking at something purposefully made.
It is a petroglyph, rock art, made by someone several hundred years ago, who was kneeling at this same rock then, slowly etching away. It is an excellent spot to do such work. Even on this sunny, brisk November day one can see why this spot would make sense: there is a long view back upstream and the rock is just above a rapid, a good place to take one's canoe out to portage.
There are two kinds of people in the world: Those who are fascinated by petroglyphs (made by chiseling stone) and who will never pass up a chance to see one. And the rest. If you're a rock art person you don't need excuses for your obsession, which is fortunate, because it is hard to explain the fascination.
I have been directed to this spot by Mark Hedden, perhaps the most knowledgeable person in the state when it comes to Maine's petroglyphs. Hedden gave me directions for finding the Grand Lake Stream site, one of thirteen known (or at least acknowledged) locations in the state, yet even with directions, it was hard to find the site.
The rock is on the right shore directly above . . . well, I can't say. One of the interesting tensions in the petroglyph world is between the desire to know about these sites, and the need to keep them protected, hidden, even, from the public. The public can't be trusted, is the subtext to many discussions about sites; the public will destroy, deface, or even carry away rock art, if not prevented either by statute or, better, by ignorance. So I promised Hedden not to tell where the site is. When I finally found the site I was satisfied, though also clueless, and this was just as Mark Hedden had predicted.
On a grey day in early October Hedden and I are at a window table of the Post Office Café in Mount Vernon, looking over Minnehonk Lake. We are having lunch and talking petroglyphs. Hedden is a small man, giving the impression of great tidiness, compactness. He has a bushy grey beard, thick black eyebrows above his thick eyeglasses, and a full head of graying hair. He often wears a fleece vest and a floppy hat held on with a chin string. He is not quite reserved, but definitely quiet. He is eighty-one years old, a native of the suburbs of New York City, and a graduate of that famous and short-lived college of artists and radicals, the Black Mountain College in North Carolina.
I ask him how he got interested in petroglyphs. In the deliberate way he has, he tells me, "I had a high school teacher who had a lot of old books, histories of early European explorers on American shores. I got frustrated by the fact the story did not go earlier than the 1500s in New England." After college, in the mid-fifties, he signed on as a shovel-hand with the Smithsonian River Basins Survey at the Missouri River Basin in South Dakota, and then in the Columbia River Gorge in the northwest. This is when he first began encountering Native American petroglyphs, "but it took me twenty years to figure out how to deal with them."
Hedden told me that "to see" petroglyphs required preparation. In fact, he implied that it was more than a waste of time, that it might approach being an outrage. "I don't encourage visitation at all," he says, "at least not without considerable orientation beforehand. It's not just to protect the site, but to help people understand what they're seeing." And indeed, "seeing" is exactly the issue, as one often doesn't see what one is looking at. You might realize there is something there, but you don't know what it is, and if you do know what it is, you don't know what it means, and if you know what it's supposed to mean, you don't know what that meant to the creator of it, and even if you know that, you still don't know what those lines in rock mean in their entire context.
So does that make petroglyphs "art," an expression of the artist, open to interpretation? After all, "rock art" is one of the ways that petroglyphs and pictographs are referred to. Or are they sacred images? Indeed, the dedication page in one book on New England petroglyphs refers to "artists and keepers of the sacred" that nicely captures the tension between thinking of the images, or "ideographs," as art, or as religion.
Resolving the question turns out to be complicated. Hedden takes his time composing an answer; in fact, it isn't until he sends me an email months later that I understand.
"Petroglyphs range in quality from fine, delicate workmanship to coarse or rudimentary. But what's implied in the ideograph refers to the 'power' an individual achieves through making himself 'worthy' or receiving 'power.' " 'Art' comes with baggage in our society. In Western Europe, around 1200 AD, the sense of the invisible, invincible spirit in the church murals gave way to sensual and secular realism. The psychological import of that realism is a consequence of the introduction and spread of literacy, and with it, a sense of 'mortalness' of the individual."
In other words, more sacred than aesthetic.
Hedden adds, at another lunch at the Post Office Café, when Lake Minnehonk is frozen, dotted by icehouses and people walking their dogs on the frozen surface, that "I hesitate to use the term 'art' because the sacred gets buried if you do."
There are only thirteen known sites in Maine, or at least that's the official word; I sometimes wonder whether those in charge of petroglyph knowledge in the state have their own list, which you can see only if you know the secret handshake. One assumes there must be others, so far undiscovered. "It is safe to assume there are others," Hedden agrees, "only we haven't ever found them. They may get found, probably not in my lifetime," he says, a bit mournfully.
Those others that have yet to be found are not really "lost," Hedden says around a spoonful of soup. "They were found once, someone knew where they were, but now they're lost to us, and are waiting to be found again. For example, I finally located a site I had seen references to thirty-five years ago and was led to it by a fisherman. He had noticed it while hunting on an island on 1972. For fifty to a hundred years the images had been hidden under the roots of a large spruce tree before a winter storm knocked it over."
Maine has the best preserved sites in New England, Hedden says, and he has developed a theory about the locations in which most of the sites are found: "They are in areas with special qualities, quite often at jumping off points for hunting," Hedden says, pushing aside his soup bowl.
"They're not inside of settlements, but just outside. I think it's interesting that they aren't inside of known settlements, as though they are not part of that ordinary life." Hedden pauses, reflecting.
The Machias Bay site — known as Birch Point — has the oldest petroglyphs yet found in the state, having been etched three thousand years ago. In July a few years ago, Hedden invites met to join a group he is taking out to see the carvings. The night before we are to visit, a group of about forty locals and summer people gathers at the Cobscook Community Learning Center building in Lubec on a soft summer evening to hear Hedden give a talk and to view the video on rock art he wrote the script for, called"Song of the Drum."Among the images on the video was that of a shaman, or "Medo'win," whose arms were gesturing in a fashion called, "killing by pointing."
What a wonderful phrase! Killing by pointing. Hedden explains in an email that "This seems to be a 'power' demonstration by Medo'wins who express their ability to bundle and shoot their 'power' into the body of another Medo'win with less 'power.' The 'victim' in public performance, would fall down 'dead' until later revived."
The next morning we're up early and drive east out of town, past Machiasport to the Point, where we can see many directions at once. It is a brilliant morning, the fog and clouds having mostly burned off, and once we park at the end of the road, we can see across this narrow part of the bay to Holmes Point, where another petroglyph site is located. The group of us, perhaps fifteen, head off through a field of tall grasses to where the field ends and the rocky shore begins.
Long sheets of rock extend from a bluff into the ocean, forming humps, like beached whales. The humps seem unremarkable, but a small group of us has gathered on one, with Hedden at the center. Hedden is explaining something and I am staring, but like usual, not seeing. I look up, though, at the Bay, and the opposite shore, and the pines on the point just to the south of us, and think what a lovely spot to do such work, and suddenly I have an image of a Sunday painter, in Boston Common or on Cape Elizabeth, setting up to examine the landscape, and to capture it, respond to it, on canvas or paper. I wonder if this is part of the impulse of these carvings, to respond to something about the landscape. After all, the carvings always seem to appear in exquisite locations, with superb views.
Later, at the Post Office Café, I ask Hedden about my theory of inspiring landscapes, and it turns out that I'm partially right. "Oh yes," he says. "These spots are carefully chosen. . . . " But again he reminds me that they are also "religious sites." "The carvings are almost certainly done by shamans, who enter into a trance, a preparation for a visionary experience. The Medo'win had to identify with the locale."This rock at Birch Point has many crisscrossing lines.
Untrained as I am, the lines seem at first unintentional, but then I realize I have to look past those weathered fractures and cracks, to the pitting beneath them, and slowly an image starts to rise. From my position standing beside the rock, it is an upside-down image, of an animal, probably a deer (Hedden is occupied with others, so I can't ask him). It has a distinct body, distinct legs and head, a distinct antler set, but I can't tell if it is a moose rack or a deer rack, or something else altogether. The image has been formed by pitting, what is called "dinting," repeated pounding with something with a sharp end that is harder than the rock being pounded. On another rock I can see, more clearly, straight lines capped with a little ^, and I have to go to the other side and try to figure out which way to read this: is the ^ on top or on the bottom? It turns out it is a figure of a Medo'win and that ^ is its head. On another hump, Hedden shows us a famous carving of a sailing ship, which is shockingly representational among the more symbolic ideographs.The group of us, as we spread out and wander around, discover our own figures, and we quickly begin to form a self-educating class, instructing each other in what we see. I think about the decision to make an image just here, on just this rock. The thought raises more questions: Why this spot, in terms of its location, what you can see from it, where it is placed? And how did they choose which rock to use as a canvas? Softer rock would have been easier to carve on, but wouldn't have lasted long — but did they know this rock was the best, or was it a lucky guess? Hedden says yes, clearly they knew what they were doing in choosing this type of rock, and this type of location. But it makes me wonder how we can be certain about any aspect of rock art. (Later, Hedden responds to my wondering: "There are no single interpretations that are 'bulletproof.' It is always a best fit within what we know of how the Passamaquoddy expressed themselves within their language and stories.")
I kneel on the rock alongside Grand Lake Stream and continue to search for images. There it is! An arm! I know it is an arm because it is bent, and there seems to be a bow on one end, and the other is attached to a stick figure person. Or at least I think this is what I see.
There is an unmistakable sense of presence when you are in the company of a petroglyph. For me, at least, the magic is in knowing that someone sat or knelt at this exact spot, and intending to make something that would last for a very long time, would outlast the artist/shaman/graffiti-ist. And not just doodles, if Hedden is to be believed, but something that had powerful meaning for him.
At a rock art location you are standing on the footprints of the creator, you are experiencing the entire physical experience that the artist had, from the rock to the air to the water flowing by on lovely Grand Lake Stream on a crisp autumn day. In a way, you participate in the entire experience, in a manner that isn't possible when you stand in a crowd at the Vatican Museums.
I trace with my eyes the carving. The image is both a mystery and a fact, and that might explain the appeal of petroglyphs.

Non-Infectious Skin Conditions
Poison Ivy / Poison Oak
Lurie Children's at Cadence Health
A unique pediatric program in Chicago's western suburbs
There are three native American plants that collectively may be called poison ivy:
These plants can cause an allergic reaction in nearly 85 percent of the population. To be allergic to poison ivy, your child must first be "sensitized" to the oils. This means that next time there is contact with the plant, a rash may occur.
The resin in the plants contains an oily substance called urushiol. Urushiol is easily transferred from the plants to other objects, including toys, garments, and animals. This chemical can remain active for a year or longer. It is important to know that the oils can also be transferred from clothing, pets, and can be present in the smoke from a burning plant.
The reaction is usually contact dermatitis, which may occur several hours, days, or even weeks after exposure. The dermatitis is characterized by a rash followed by bumps and blisters that itch. Sometimes, swelling occurs in the area of contact. Eventually, the blisters break, ooze, and then crust over.
Making sure your child avoids the poisonous plants is the best treatment. It is important to teach your children what the plants look like and not to touch them.
If contact with the plants has already occurred, you should remove the oils from the skin as soon as possible. Cleansing with an ordinary soap within six hours after the initial exposure has proven to be effective. Repeat the cleaning with the soap three times. There are also alcohol-based wipes that help remove the oils. Wash all clothes and shoes also, because the oils can remain on these.
If the blisters and rash are on the face, near the genitals, or all over the body, your child's physician should be notified. After a medical history and physical examination, your child's physician may prescribe a steroid cream, oral steroids, or steroid injections to help with the swelling and itching.
Poison ivy/ poison oak cannot be spread from person to person by touching the blisters, or from the fluid inside the blisters. It can be spread, however, if the oils remain on the skin, clothes, or shoes. This is why washing your child's hands, clothes, and shoes as soon as possible is very important.

If you watch the hit FX show "Justified" (and you should), you're no doubt familiar with "Gangstagrass," the bluegrass/hip-hop group responsible for the show's great theme song. You might be less familiar with Rench, the Brooklyn-based singer/songwriter/producer who's also the brains behind the group.
Yesterday on Twitter the guys in Gangstagrass told me they were opposed to mandatory minimums, and reminded me that Rench mentioned mandatory sentencing in one of the songs on his 2006 record, "Life in Mean Season."
"Elmira" tells the story of two brothers from a factory town, and the path each takes after the "factory shut down" and their father "lost his job like the rest of the town."
After the rent goes up and the narrator can't afford to make ends meet, he refuses to go back home. He "got the chance for some dirty cash and he had to take it." For "a cold G every month," the narrator agrees to "store packages at his place every night" and "keep them out of sight." He tells himself "it was temporary; something legit would come [his] way," but after a year he still found himself in the same position.
You can probably see where this is going.
In the wintertime feds came and made their case. But I knew that I'd be dead if I witnessed for the State. The sentence was mandatory, the judge apologized, when they sent me back where my daddy died.I won't give away what happens next in the song, but it's a brilliant turn on an otherwise traditional prison ballad.
"Elmira" is the product of a great artist telling the truth about one of life's tragedies through a fictional story. Unfortunately, that story is all too real for far too many people. Judges do apologize to defendants, and some even cry when they are forced to impose obviously unjust sentences on people who simply don't deserve them.

My sister, Senja (Sen-ya), dyes some seriously gorgeous yarn. Last time I saw her she let me pick a skein of her new DK weight yarn to test out. Lucky me! I cast on a cute, slouchy, cabled hat that I had been dreaming about & finished it up a few days later. I just couldn't put it down! The pattern is called Molly. I just love how soft & squishy this new yarn is. If you love yourself some yarn, go check out Senja's Etsy shop KnitMeNow. The yarn I used is the DK weight. She also has a bunch of sport weight & sock weight listed right now too. I am pretty sure she will do special orders too, so if you don't see what you are looking for, let her know & she will dye some up for you! Just tell her Naomi told you she would!
March around here has been a blur of cold weather, too much snow, a sprained ankle, so many scouting activities, & hoping with all my heart that a real spring & summer is on its way. I am ready for the snow to melt, no longer needing heavy jackets, & more sunshine!!
These are my March blocks for do. Good Stitches (Peace Circle). We used a tutorial found here. This quilt will be really interesting with all the different solid colors. I am excited to see it!
The top for my January quilt is done! It's been hanging on my desk waiting for me to go through my batting to see if I can find a piece large enough to use on this quilt. I am in love with the on point setting & the polka-dots. This is so not the vision I had in my mind when I asked for log cabin blocks, but I am glad I let the blocks work themselves into this setting & also happy that my current obsession with Navy was a good fit for this quilt.
Sox has been especially adorable lately.
What a goofball!
I hope you all have a wonderful Easter! My kids are home this week & I have been loving them up. My house is TRASHED & LOUD but those are signs of a happy home. (That's what I keep telling myself anyway!)
XOXO, Naomi
My Mojo Is Back!
(My sister keeps telling me I need to blog… so here I am. Thanks for the push Brita!)
I have a few things for show & tell today! Yay!
At Christmas time I whipped up 4 kitchen towels as gifts, this is only 2. I forgot to take a picture of the other 2. Oops! I just bought the towels & made some appropriately sized binding strips out of scraps & attached it to the bottom of the towel. Super quick, used scraps & they turned out really cute! I might have to make some for my own house soon!
This is my new scrappy kitchen rug! If it gets spaghetti stains I will just sew more scraps over the stains! I'm excited to see how this will stand the test of time.
To make a Scrappy Kitchen Rug:
- Layer a piece of linen (or other fabric) & batting
- Pick scraps (some big, some small), cut off extra threads, square up, etc.
- Sew the big scraps on first (edge stitch, leaving raw edges)
- Quilt it horizontally about 1.5″ apart
- Next sew the smaller scraps on (I used my smaller scraps to cover any puckers I got from quilting)
- Quilt it vertically about 3/8″ apart
- Cut another piece of batting plus a backing,
- Layer the top, batting & back & attach all the layers together (I used a little circle stitch mode 3, #23 on my Janome Memory craft 6600)
- Add some binding
Viola! A rug! I will wash it soon & show you how it fluffs up!
W spends most of his days reading. Sox decided to hop up with him one day & curl up on his back! A-DOR-A-BLE!!! Sox likes to snuggle more than any cat I've ever met. I am happy he returned this morning from a 5 day walkabout. He seems pretty happy & hungry, but he must have been fighting because he is all scabby.
This is the January quilt for the Peace circle of do. Good Stitches. I asked for scrappy, warm & cool log cabins (with no pink or purple). I was imagining a different layout, but when I tried it out the design was hard to see. So I tried this layout & I like it so far. I will just have to see how it all turns out when I have all the blocks.
These are my February blocks for the Peace circle of do. Good Stitches. We used the Scrappy Trip tutorial which turned out to be really fun & WAY easier than I expected. I can't wait to see this quilt take shape. (P.S. Can you BELIEVE I finished my blocks so early?! I'm trying a new thing. It's called NOT procrastinating.)
I FINALLY pulled out my Arcadia fabric to make a quilt for my bed! The blocks are done I just need to sew them into a top! Exciting!! The colors look a little off in this photo. (My camera has been taking dark, blurry photos lately…& by lately I mean the entire time I have had it, it just seems worse lately. Maybe I just suck at photography.)
W's quilt is DONE!!! I will get good pictures of it someday (or not…) but it's a pretty basic brick pattern. Both the boy's quilts turned out ENORMOUS! I'm not sure what numbers I was using to determine the size but they are extra wide & long. Oh well! They will maybe just get more use out of them as they move into different sized beds!
I finally made a back for this quilt & quilted it! I just need to hand sew the binding & wash it up & it's done! YAY!! This was made using the stacked coin quilt along at Don't Call Me Betsy.
So it turns out I got my sewing mojo back! Yay!
Here are some things I am thinking about making:
- clothes. Doll clothes for my nieces, pajama pants for my boys, tank/t-shirt/skirt for me.
- quilt with curves. Maybe single girl, drunkard's path, snake, color wheel, dresdens.
- pillows for the couch.
- something with applique.
- something with hand quilting.
- I need to start a new knitting project.
- something with my selvedges.
- something scrappy.
- something paper pieced or with a muslin foundation.
- beard hats & aprons for M&R
Here are some things I am thinking about finishing:
- Beach bag
- Summer Sampler
- Swoon
- Orange sweater (working on the sleeves!!)
- Christmas quilt
- Aprons
I'm hoping my enthusiasm for all of these things continues so I accomplish all of these things by summertime! Wish me luck!
November Blocks
This Granny Square block was sent out for a secret project.
This Date Night block was the block for my do. Good Stitches group for November. I think this quilt is going to look fabulous! I can't wait to see it all finished up!
A Whirlwind November
December, where did you come from?!
November flew by in a whirlwind of doctor appointments, a birthday, Thanksgiving, our anniversary, a broken toe, conferences, Cub Scout meetings, delivering popcorn & wreaths, karate, & trying desperately to figure out how to make my headaches & tummy problems go away.
I did manage to finish up my May quilt for do. Good Stitches. Yay! It felt lousy to keep seeing those beautiful, sunny blocks sitting on the shelf, waiting for me to have time for them. I'm happy to have found the time to sew this happy quilt together!
We used the Positively Perfect Nap Quilt tutorial & I asked for pink, red, yellow, & orange blocks. I hope this quilt puts a smile on the face of the child who receives it. I know it makes me smile!
XOXO, Naomi
October was a FULL month.
In October….
- We participated in lots of Cub Scouts activities. 1 Sr. Webelo + 1 Tiger + Dad doing the Committee Chair role, Wood Badge, & getting asked to take on a Council position in Scouts is fun but busy!
- The boys had picture day. My 1st grader can NOT smile on command.
- I volunteered at the boy's schools 7 days. (Yes, they are in 2 different schools, so twice the volunteer opportunities.)
- My 5th grader had an after-school library party as a reward for reading a TON over the summer. How cool is that?!
- I worked 1 day.
- We sold Popcorn & wreaths for Cub Scouts. (Door-to-door & at a show & sell at a grocery store.)
- My Mom had her 2nd knee replacement surgery, so we went up to visit her.
- My husband was away for 2 long weekends. He also made a day trip to Chicago for work.
- I participated in a swap between my do. Good Stitches girls.
- It was school hot lunch week so I went to eat lunch with my boys 2 different days.
- We spent a long MEA break up north.
- Our kids got sick.
- W had a friend over one weekend.
- I had a whole bunch of migraines & promised myself I would get some help with that.
- I ordered costumes last minute & vowed to never wait so long again.
- I spent a whole day making accessories for costumes & swearing that I would never wait till the last minute again.
- We had a Halloween party for Cub Scouts, a parade at T's school, & trick-or-treating at our house with friends & 1 cousin.
- We did Karate.
This is the pin cushion & ornament I received for the Peace circle of do. Good stitches swap. Cute!
Here is the pincushion in action.
My October blocks for do. Good stitches. We used the October HST Block of the Month tutorial over at In Color Order.
My niece in her peacock costume, at the parade. Isn't she cute?! My sister did a great job making her costume.
My Ninja boys & Sox the white pawed feline.
Fine Feathered Friends
I made a zippered pouch. It started as an experiment. It's my first reverse applique! I had no clue as to what I was doing, just winged it… Then the feather sat next to Betty (my beautiful sewing companion) for a month. So one night I pulled a zipper out of my drawer of supplies, looked up a tutorial I wanted to try & sewed my little heart out. The zipper turned out to be a vintage metal zipper, that I LOVE!!
I just love the back of the package…
It makes me want to dress up in heels to do my housework. I am in love with this pouch. I'm not even sure what I am going to use it for, but I want to see it every second of my day & let no one else touch it. When I started this experiment, I thought I might gift this to someone, but before it was finished, I knew it was never leaving my side.
(I thought I banished all the lady bugs!)
I used the Open Wide Zippered Pouch tutorial from Noodlehead which was oh so wonderful! The resulting pouch is super easy to open up & dig around in. Like I said before, I LOVE THIS POUCH!!! The outside is Essex linen (don't know the color), Kona Nightfall, the feather is a Joel Dewberry print, the lining is Heather Ross, zipper end is Lotta Jansdotter.
This isn't the only feathery project up my sleeve lately. I also tried my hand at making a mug rug for a swap with my do. Good Stitches girls. I made an enormous mug rug. So perhaps it's more like a place mat… I love this one also. I am hoping my partner receives it & loves it & can overlook its enormous size. Apparently I go big or go home.
I used the free feather pattern by Anna Maria Horner. I made the feather smaller but not small enough. I also couldn't find my brain & couldn't for the life of me cut the feather sides correctly. I cut a whole bunch wrong before I got it right. So I have a few weirdo feather scraps to work with someday. I did a little hand quilting on the feather & machine quilted the rest. If I were to do it again, I would change some things, but overall I really like how it came out.
After finishing up my 2 feather projects, I looked out my window & saw 2 pheasants hanging out in my neighbor's yard. How fitting. They didn't want to be photographed together though, so I only have 1 pheasant to show you.
May, June, July, August, & September blocks…
So it's the end of September. This month has flown by. We have been so busy with karate, cub scouts, a garage sale, & trying to get on a good schedule for school, that the month has almost passed me by! I won't say I'm enjoying my days as a stay-at-home-mom-with-no-kids-at-home, but I'm not NOT enjoying them either.
I just don't have it all figured out yet.
The biggest thing I need to work on is getting on some sort of schedule. Last week I actually planned a week's worth of food & managed to buy everything I needed & cook all week! Amazing! But now I have a fridge full of leftovers & no one who wants to eat them. So this week I'm not cooking. We need to eat the leftovers. I am just finding it hard to be motivated with all this silence around me. But now that the garage sale is over with, maybe I will feel like I can get on to the super productive schedule I want to be on. The one where I clean for like an hour every day & sew the rest of the time & my meals are easy & planned ahead of time. Sounds perfect, right?
Anyway, I guess I haven't shown a bunch of blocks for my do. Good Stitches quilting bee. So, here they are…
May: I was the quilter for May. I still need to put the quilt together. I'm just a little late. Used Positively Perfect tutorial.
June: Used the Reverse Rainbow Star tutorial.
July: Used the Cracker Scraps tutorial.
August: Used the Kaleidoscope tutorial.
September: Used the string-x with a scrappy variation tutorial.
Enjoy the rest of September!
XOXO, Naomi
Good-bye Summer! *sniff, sniff*
We had a wonderful summer.
I'm so sad to send the kids to school today! I am going to miss hanging out with them so much! I think I only sewed twice this summer. Yikes! But I'm okay with that because we had a lot of other summer fun.
I always feel like summer goes by so fast & I don't make a real effort to make awesome summer memories with my kids. When school starts I usually regret not trying harder. But this year has been different. We made an effort to have fun together daily, not just on our vacations. At the beginning of summer we made a list of things we wanted to be sure to do. We didn't get to them all but we did A LOT more this summer than we usually do.
Here's some of what we did:
- found a park with awesome bike trails
- went camping in the Boundary Waters
- summer reading program at the library
- spent time at the pool & beach
- had water fights
- ran through the sprinkler
- camped in our backyard
- played kickball
- went to the movies & ate so much popcorn we almost puked
- made homemade play-dough
- discovered shapes in the clouds
- went tubing
- played lots of Legos
- made s'mores
- had a picnic
- played Monopoly, Uno, Crazy 8′s, Yahtzee, & Battleship
- spent time up north with cousins
- read like crazy
- looked for shooting stars
- camped on the north shore
- fought the waves of Lake Superior
- went hiking
- saw the lift bridge in action
- got LOTS of exercise at karate.
Today my kids go off to 1st & 5th grades! I can't even imagine how they can be that old already! This will be a challenging year for me, because this is the first time in 10 years that I don't really have a reason to be home during the day. My kids will be off, doing their own thing, not really needing me. I mean, yes, they need me & always will, but I'm serving no purpose all day long while they are at school. I'm hoping I get on a great schedule & get lots accomplished. I should have time, for the first time in a long time, to get all my not so fun tasks done, along with my fun things too! I'm looking forward to it, but hoping I don't end up feeling like a waste of space… I have some thoughts in my head about what else I could do, but for now, I'm not making any big decisions.
So, farewell Summer! You've treated us well, I look forward to you visiting us again!
April Blocks
There is nothing like a deadline to motivate me…
I finally gave Betty (my sewing machine) some love today after giving her a good, long break. She seemed genuinely happy to be back at work. I better keep her busy so she doesn't go looking for another job!
This month Michelle asked the Peace circle of do. Good Stitches to make 2 blocks using her scrappy asterisk tutorial . They were super easy & turned out pretty darn cute! I can't wait to see the finished quilt!

WHITEHEAD, A.N.(1816-1947) and RUSSELL, B.(1872-1970) |
Alfred North Whitehead was borm at Ramsgate, England, in 1861, and was
educated at Sherborne School and Trinity college, Cambridge. He lectured on
mathematics at Trinity College from 1885 to 1911, and then on applied mathematics
and mechanics at University College of the university of London. He
was a professor of mathematics at the Imperial College of Science and Technology
at the University of London from 1914 to 1924, after which he went to the
United States as a professor of philosophy at harvard
University, a post that he held until his retirement in 1936.
He died at Cambridge, Massachusetts in
1947. Like his most distinguished student, Bertrand Russell, Whitehead viewed
philosophy from the standpoint of mathematics, and together the two men
wrote their epochal Principia mathematica in the years 1910 to 1913. Whitehead
published a number of notably lucid works on mathematics and philosophy. |
Bentrand Arthur William Russell, descendant of an aristocratic family, was born near Trelleck, Wales, in 1872. The winner of an open scholarship at Trinity College, Cambridge, he took high honors in mathematics and philosophy, and studied under Whitehead. In addition to lecturing, largely at universities in the United States, he wrote over forty books on mathematics, logic, philosophy,sociology, and education. He received many award, such as both the Sylvester and de Morgan medals of the Royal Society (1934), the Order of Merit |
(1940), and the Nobel prize for Literature (1950).
His outspoken views
often embroiled him in controversies. During World War I, he was dismissed
from Cambridge University and imprisoned for four months because of his
pacifist views and his opposition to conscription. In the early 1960s, he led
pacifist moves to ban unclear weapons and was again briefly imprisoned. A man
of remarkable mind and ability, he died in 1970, mentally alert to the end, at the
advanced age of ninety-eight.
