The importance of integrating arts and culture in every aspect of community life, cannot be overstated. It is also one of the 8 assets of the League's Center for 21st Century Communities. Arts and cultural programming is a key economic development strategy that can define a community, foster an entrpreneurial environment and make it a distinctive, special place.
To elevate the importance of arts and culture, an exciting new initiative taking place in Michigan is the creation of a certification program to train professional arts programmers. You can be a part of this important undertaking by joining other arts leaders, recreation professionals and government administrators in an in-depth panel discussion on revenue-generating programs. This will take place on Friday, March 23 from 9:00 am -11:30 am. Sponsored by Eastern Michigan University (Communication, Media & Theatre Arts) and Farmington Hills (Special Services Department Cultural Arts Division), this program will offer a unique opportunity to be at the ground floor of discussions around a community arts certification program. The League has been invited to be one of the participants on the panel. Space is limited, so sign up here!

Young skateboarders go 13 miles pier-to-pier from Worthing to Brighton
10:30am Wednesday 30th May 2012 in News
Two young skateboarders put their best feet forward to race between two piers.
Friends Louis Fitzgerald, 13, and Lozz Forman, 11, jumped on their boards to travel 13 miles between Worthing Pier and the Palace Pier. The boys wheeled the distance in two hours and 30 minutes and raised £400 towards their charity target of £1200 to go to Mombasa, Kenya, in October to teach and help in a school sponsored by Louis' school, St Andrews CE High School for Boys in Worthing.
Unfortunately, Lozz lost his Ipod shuffle between Widewater Lagoon and Shoreham and is hoping readers can help him locate it.
Anyone who has seen it can email firstname.lastname@example.com.

As Spring approaches, many energized baseball players will clean the dust off their cleats and head to the diamond to enjoy "America's sport." A bat is the single most important offensive piece of equipment that a baseball or softball player uses. Whether players are looking to step up their game in their co- ed softball league or are looking to set new high school records for the most home runs in a season, a good bat is key to success. RIP- IT sports has released their top 5 bats for Spring Baseball Season in 2012:
1. RIP- IT Single- Wall Reaper
The Single- Wall Reaper one of RIP- IT's slow pitch softball bats and has a 100% customer approval rating. The bat was designed for slow-pitch softball power hitters. The single- wall alloy technology gives the best possible endload so hitters can control the bat, swing fast and hit the ball as deep as possible.
2. RIP- IT Reaper Light
The Reaper Light has a 99.5% approval rating and was designed specifically for young fastpitch softball power- hitters. The fastpitch softball bat features a secure grip and memory foam technology.
3. RIP- IT Senior
The Prototype Senior is a powerful baseball bat that has a 98.4% approval rating. The bat is a high performance Batted Ball Coefficient of Restitution (BBCOR) certified bat and the bat is made from a single block of high- end aluminum. The RIP- IT Senior also has memory foam grip technology to create a grip that molds differently to each player's hand.
4. RIP- IT Force
The Force is one of RIP- IT's fastpitch bats crafted from a single block of advanced tempered ballistic lloy, which allows the energy to transfer from the taper all the way through the end cap. The Force has a 97.9% approval rating and is a force to be recognized.
The BBCOR is one of the most responsive BBCOR certified baseball bats. What a hitter might consider the "sweet spot," is replaced by a sweet barrel. If a player makes contact with the ball anywhere along the barrel great results will be met. The BBCOR enjoys a 97.8% approval rating.
RIP- IT sports is excited to design more cutting edge baseball, slow pitch and fastpitch softball bats in addition to batters guard, helmets, defense mask, batting grip and duffle bags to keep baseball enthusiasts geared up throughout their season.

Leukemia is a type of blood cancer that begins in the bone marrow. Bone marrow is the soft tissue in the center of the bones, where blood cells are produced.
The term "leukemia" means "white blood." White blood cells (leukocytes) are used by the body to fight off infections and other foreign substances. They are made in the bone marrow.
Leukemia leads to an uncontrolled increase in the number of white blood cells.
The cancerous cells prevent healthy red cells, platelets, and mature white cells (leukocytes) from being made. Life-threatening symptoms may then develop.
The cancer cells spread to the bloodstream and lymph nodes. They can also travel to the brain and spinal cord (the central nervous system) and other parts of the body.
Leukemias are divided into two major types:

In the last five months, Spring Lake police have arrested 10 people on drug charges and confiscated thousands of dollars' worth of drugs, thousands more in drug dealers' money, plus a lot of guns and drug paraphernalia. Eight alleged drug-dealing locations have been raided - most recently a used-car lot.
This is happening four years after the Police Department was shut down because of corruption. This is one more sign the department is alive, well and strong. Kudos to Chief Troy McDuffie for engineering the resurrection.

SOLEDAD, Calif. -- More than a dozen investigations into state employees stealing taxpayer money by wracking up illegal overtime and the fallout of those investigations is just beginning.
The latest investigation centers around a psychiatrist working on the Central Coast who allegedly falsified time records, making him one of the top paid public employees in the state, according to Bloomberg News.
The news agency said Dr. Mohammad Safi, a psychiatrist from the Salinas Valley State Prison, was paid more than $800,000.
The California Medical Board said Wednesday he still has his license.
Bloomberg News said Dr. Safi was suspended with pay.
Just across the way at the Soledad Correctional Training Facility, Central Coast News has been reporting about the the multi-layer investigation underway.
On Tuesday, the State Auditor's office said a supervising registered nurse falsely claimed to have worked 183 hours of regular, overtime, and on-call hours that amounted to $8,600 over what she should've received.
Central Coast News obtained a letter of no confidence sent by other nurses to the state two years ago about Lydia Hampton-Stewart, and have also told you about the Director of Nursing Angelia Britt, who the auditor's office said failed to make sure the timesheets were accurate.
Britt is also being investigated by the Attorney General's office for falsifying drug records and failing to report 1,200 drug losses.
The attorney general is also investigating Albert Cox, a licensed vocational nurse, once at CTF, for supposedly putting incorrect entries in patient records related to drugs, possessing pharmaceutical drugs, and not administering medications properly.

Colfax Man Enjoys Second Louisiana Lottery Scratch-off Win
Reginald Carnahan claims a $14,000 top prize from a "Country Cash" scratch-off at the Louisiana Lottery's Alexandria office.
Some people are born lucky, and this just may be the case with 49-year-old Reginald Carnahan. The Colfax native has won two top prizes on Louisiana Lottery scratch-off games in the last four years, with this latest win coming a week before his 50th birthday.
Gearing up for the Fourth of July, Carnahan purchased the Lottery's patriotic-themed $2
Country Cash
scratch-off and won a $14,000 top-prize. The win comes after he cashed in a $100,000 top-prize winning Extreme Green scratch-off in April 2008.
"I plan to enjoy my birthday!" Carnahan shared, when he claimed his prize at the Lottery's Alexandria office last week. Call it an early birthday present; Carnahan celebrates his 50th on July 5.
Carnahan purchased his top-prize winning ticket at OK General on Highway 8 in Colfax.
Country Cash
is a $2 game that features four top prizes of $14,000. The game has one top prize remaining as of today.
For security purposes, the Lottery strongly encourages players to sign the back of their tickets immediately after purchasing.
Persons must be at least 21 years of age to purchase a Lottery ticket. Anyone who has a gambling problem or friends and family of anyone with a gambling problem are encouraged to call toll-free 1-877-770-7867. Information about the Louisiana Lottery Corporation, including other $2 scratch-off games, can be found on its website, www.louisianalottery.com.

Future of ISSAN
Future of ISSAN
As a 4 year "vetran farang" in Nakhon Phanom I am at times totally frustrated by the lack of opportunity for local children in the area---Lack of employment opportunities if /when they do graduate from a inadeqate educational system--lack of social/sporting facilities after school---where are the lirbaries, the tennis courts, the football clubs, in fact anything for the children to do besides play in the sois after school or on weekends?---
They get certificates from school that are not worth the paper they are written on---e.g. I have 2 young girls 18, and 22 who live near me--go to tech college-- "learn english"-- grading 4 out of 5--YET!, can not read or speak english at all--and I mean not at all.
IT appears that as soon as schooling finishes-- they have to go get a job in bangkok--and/or as soon as the rice is cropped apply for a job in Bangkok-- get married and leave the babies with grandma--
I am about to move "my " 2 children age 11 and 13 to a internationl school in Pattaya--in a hope that they may have a future because in Nakhon Phanom they just haven't
This government and all the previous ones have left the children of Thailand down very badly

Re: future of ISSAN
Have a look around. Is there any study about alcoholism in Issan or all about Thailand? My impression is they are the biggest alcoholics in the world.
When you want to give them a chance, teach them to stop alcohol!!!
Another case of corruption, the influence of the alcohol industry.

It seems that EVERYONE is addicted to beer in your world but I can tell you that in my world in Udon most people work hard and try to get the best for there children and family.The problem with Thailand in general is that you come across coruption at every level and it starts at the airport when you jump into a taxi right up to the goverment official because they don't get paid enough so bribes is the only way they can make ends meet.
As Forest Gump said " Stupid is as stupid does" and I think that applies to the Goverment of Thailand in general.

Re: future of ISSAN
I am still coming to grips that the parents look after her child,as with others i got to know.
This girl is now working in China at a Hotel.
She hopes to make money than she did in Chiang Mai.
I have my doubts.
She did ask if i take her back with me to Australia.
I read this all the time do all Thais wanting to leave Thailand?
I have spoken to a few people when i was in Chiang Mai, about how there is no payments
to look after yourself when you get old.
Maybe we are lucky in Australia.
What are your views, as i am still learning about the Thai way of life and living.

Re: future of ISSAN
Its also sad seeing the destruction that alcohol has caused all over the world.
I said it a million times.. My Sobriety is a gift from God but lets face it Issan has many more short comings than
drug and alcohol abuse . I wish I had the answer .
Unity is all most have from the area of Issan , this is where my wife comes from, Thais helping Thais. To many money means ~no money no problems
Schools are their but kids are needed to farm the rice or watch their baby sister or brother so mom and pop can work and feed the family. I cant say this way of life is better or worse but its a way of culture that dates back long before I was born .
Imagine one day of flying soritys and the price of one tomahawk missile could feed that village for a few years .
People ask me what if, why don't they do this or that over their..
Its troublesome to try to explain many their don't have choice and their lives are the way it is, the cards dealt is their destiny in most cases.
My wife was lucky herself to end up in USA and now holds a degree in Hospitality Management and as we will retire one day we will return for good but for sure in Issan and as far away from BKK as possible.Then I will give to help her fellow Thais..not meaning monetary funds but knowledge..friendship and possible starting of a small business to employ a few locals .Teaching is best gift one can give .A touch on a child for one day can mean the world to him or her.Some never felt affection as we know it.

Re: future of ISSAN
The first one, married with two children. The older boy has finished university and works for government. The sister is in Bangkok in a university for an other two years. They run a typical village shop selling everything. They do not make enough money to put the daughter through university, so the daughter works at a pizza hut the week ends. The parents in the village a hard working people. During rice planting or harvesting season, one of them takes care the shop, the other one goes to the fields. Next to it, mostly at night, the uncle goes fishing, hunting or rats catching. While in the shop, he is making fishing nets for sell. Behind their house they got a fish pond, where they grow fishes for sell as well. They really try hard and make a Bath wherever there is a Bath to be made.
The second sister, well she and her family are exactly the contrary. Lazy, useless people. They take care their rice field, have some chicken running and shitting around their house and little more. The uncle, heavy on lao kao, some days is knocked out at midday already. The aunt, spends her days laying around and eating. Two daughters, same as the parents, useless. One 19 with a two year old daughter. Her job, do nothing. Her husband works and likes to get drunk the week ends. The second daughter, still goes to "school". No idea what kind of "school", as I never ever have seen her carrying any books, doing homework or studying. Married as well to a guy who brought 4 cows into the marriage. There house, well, I would not really call it a house myself, more like a old wood hut hold together by dirt and rubbish. But they got 4 bikes and an old pick up truck. The girls always in nice clothes and the latest Nokias.
You see, just like everywhere, good and bad, ying and yang. I-Saan is not different, its people are not different. Of course, you go down South, meet some I-Saan girls in beer bars and hear the same sad, old stories over and over again. The good stories, well you do not hear them because the people who could tell them they stay in their homes doing a normal family live. Like everywhere.
The future, well family one will have a prosper future, family two, I guess, the beer bars will still have a demand for some I-Saan daughters in the future.

Re: future of ISSAN
I dont think its fair to just blame the government or the systems etc...
I am a Thai Person and I am from the south of Thailand. My parents are very very poor with 8 kids!! They worked as labors for all kinds of things to earn little money for their kids to go to "Temple school", which is known as the lowest quality of all kinds of school in Thailand. There are no job opportunities in my village but can you believe that most of the youngsters are educated. It is like the competition among all neighbors to send their kids to school (even the worse ones) and the higher education one's kids have, the better image of the family gets. So whats always in my and other kids's heads is that
" I have to try to study as best as I can and education will take us away from the same old poverty and no opportunities that we were born with"
After 6 years in the temple school, I went for the test to get in to the best high school of the province (as my parents always wished and supported me to do so). And I passed, with the second highest point from more than 1000 kids that went for this test. I remember my mom said it was like she just won the first prize lottery to know that I could get into that school.
I graduated from one of the best universities in Thailand and I have been working with big international companies.
My mom can not even read or write. My dad learned to read and write with the monk while he was in the temple served the monks as temple boy, and had been alcoholic for yearssssssssss.
I am telling you all these becoz i just wanted to let you know that bad situations are everywhere in Thailand, not just in Isaan. But we are still 3rd world country which is very poor. You can not expect all the comfy and conveniences at every corner you step in. In fact, youd better expect something out of date and far from technology and development.
However I have been wishing for the better education systems for the new generations. And as I have noticed, its getting better even it goes slowly...but better than nothing eh?
Thais say " do not blame the drummer if you can not dance very well " (someone who understands what I mean please tell what you say in English)
Last but not least, I still love my ****** little country

Re: future of ISSAN
Unfortunately I think that you are an exception in Thailand. I met too many children in this country who think that partying is more important than school. Children who are just too lazy to work hard on their education and parents who do not mind much.
I see it every day in our family. I have to laugh, when our neighbor cosine shows us her top school marks in English, 5th year English, but can not speak or understand any English at all. For her the only thing witch counts is the marks not the knowledge. One day she will have a university degree but no knowledge and no future.
It is a pity that the education system does not care more about their children and many teachers are just not interested at all in giving children proper education. You are a great example how it should be. Maybe you should go around the country, visit schools and lecture students your live history. Maybe you could open some students eyes.

Re: future of ISSAN
- Parents can play a more positive role by encouraging school, hard work, goal setting, etc...
- Students/children/teenagers must learn themselves and have their own motivation to achieve.
- Thais (most Asians, and not just Thais) need to learn to compete on global level. In subjects of Language, Match, Science, which student is better prepared to compete? The Asian students or the Europeans?
- If you follow the example of successful Asian nations, English language competency, hard work ethic, global awareness and ability to compete are some of the common factors.
- Despite the absence or lack of Western conveniences, it IS possible for disadvantaged school children in Thailand to rise, succeed, compete, and contribute...
- Thai students should be thought to dream, work hard, and not easily be content with their current station in life.
- If there is no self motivation, nothing will change... If no one helps to show the possibilities, no one will dream of a better life. If they are taught to accept the way things are, nothing will change...

First off, it isn't John O'Groats. From Wikipedia:
John o' Groats[1] (Taigh Iain Ghròt in Scottish Gaelic; grid reference ND380734) is a village in the Highlandcouncil area of Scotland. Part of the county of Caithness, John o' Groats is popular with tourists because it is usually regarded as the most northerly settlement of mainland Great Britain, although this is not a claim made by the inhabitants. It is, though, one end of the longest distance between two points on the British mainland, Land's End being the other. The actual most northerly point is nearby Dunnet Head.
The town takes its name from Jan de Groot, a Dutchman who obtained a grant for the ferry from the Scottish mainland to Orkney, recently acquired from Norway, from King James IV in 1496. The lower case and second space in "John o' Groats" are regarded by many as correct, as the "o'" means "of" and thus is not cognate with Irish names that begin with O'; but the name can be found with the capital and/or without the space. People from John o' Groats are known as "Groatsers".
The name John o' Groats has a particular resonance because it is often used as a starting or ending point for cycles, walks and charitable events to and from Land's End (at the extreme south-western tip of the Cornish peninsula in England). The phrase Land's End to John o' Groats (LEJOG) is frequently heard both as a literal journey (being the longest possible in Great Britain) and as a metaphor for great or all-encompassing distance, similar to the American phrase coast to coast.
Incidentally, while the signpost says 894 miles to Land's End, that is as the crow flies. To walk is around fifteen hundred miles. Not that I've walked it, but I know a man who has.

Documents Library
Over the years, the GFMD process has produced a wealth of background papers, research works and other documents that have been used as references in the preparation of the Roundtables, commissioned by the thematic ad hoc working groups or have been contributed by international organizations, Regional Consultative Processes and other bodies in support of annual GFMD meetings.
It is noteworthy that most of these GFMD-related documents were prepared by government teams during the organization of the Roundtables, which helps promote confidence-building and a sense of partnerships between and among governments in the GFMD process.
These substantive documents have been classified according to the Roundtable themes that have been discussed from 2007 to 2012, which include:
But there are other documents that relate to the GFMD process, such as the Roundtable concept themes of each annual meeting, the lists of GFMD participants, reports of proceedings of the meetings of the GFMD Steering Group, Friends of the Forum and the main forum, and information about the engagement of the civil society. These process-oriented documents have been collated and posted under the document library of each GFMD meeting.

What I'm in to Now: the Alchemy of an Attitude Adjustment
It was made in 1992, and I hope one day they digitally remaster it for HD or whatever they do these days, because it deserves it. The film follows 4 women who are dissatisfied with their lives in different ways, and they take a transformative holiday in Portofino, Italy. The holiday helps them think about their lives differently, and in their reframing, they find happiness. Next up is this soon-to-be-everywhere-if-it-isn't-already book:
I've been reading The Happiness Project, and all I can say is- WOW. I'm pretty confident that every woman I know over the age of 28 would find that this book speaks right to the very core of everything they think about themselves. This is the chronology of one woman's odyssey to improve herself, her life, and her relationships with those she cares about most. It's fascinating- the way that women take on so much, and then feel guilty or somehow dissatisfied with what they feel they aren't doing. Isn't that so typical of us, though? We do so well, but yet we want to do just a bit better.
While I've been reading, I've been steadily working away on the Athyrie pattern from St. Denis 2- It is the perfect knitting sidekick that keeps my fingers busy while I'm reading.
One of my favourite bands is The National. There is something about the lead singer's voice, it's just... velvet. Let me leave you with a couple videos from their most recent album, High Violet, which has pretty much been playing non stop in my ipod for over a month now.

Love The National!
The Happiness Project doesn't seem like a book I'd normally pick up, but I think it looks fantastic and I definitely want to check it out! (Unfortunately 125 other people also want to check it out my local library... maybe I should just pick up my own copy.)

I sometimes feel like we are living at least some of the elements of our lives in parallel - I've been into positive psychology for a couple of years now, and although I haven't read Gretchen's book yet, I've belonged to her f/book group for a while.

What a great idea for a blog feature! I really enjoyed this one and am excited for more. I've been reading Gretchen Rubin's blog for awhile and recently picked up a copy of the Happiness Project. I'm very excited to start reading soon -- I've picked up so many great pieces of advice from her blog, especially about that pesky female guilt complex you mentioned! Last thing -- THANK YOU for introducing me to The National! Wonderful! Off to download some songs...

Awesome post!!
I LOVE Enchanted April, a movie that seems highly under rated but so beautiful, bringing a group of women back to life almost....
I had a listen to The National, as a friend is in love with them, but I don't get it yet, not sure why...I'm listening to florence and the machine a lot...
And lastly, I had a look at the Happiness Project website, I want to love her project, but it looks like a rehash of everyone else's ideas, a sort of psychology lite, which can be uplifitng but often has big gaping holes. However, I do agree with her that happiness is a choice...Anyway, that's my two cents...
I Love your blog and knitted treasures :) Nadia - 7 June 2010 17:07

Can you please explain how you knit and read at the same time. I would love to do that.
Love the blog!

I have definitely had my eye on that book for a while. Now that I have a firsthand account of its brilliance, I will surely have to read it.
LOVE the National! How have I not heard of them? Thanks!

Ownership of Bob Dylan's historic guitar in dispute on season premiere of PBS' "History Detectives"
In this Jan. 12, 2012 file photo, Bob Dylan performs in Los Angeles. The electric guitar that Bob Dylan plugged in at the Newport Folk Festival in 1965 may be the most historic instrument in rock music, and it has sat mostly unnoticed in a New Jersey attic for most of the 47 years since. Dylan left it behind in an airplane and it was taken home by the pilot. The late pilot's daughter recently took it to PBS' "History Detectives," who authenticated the potentially fortune-making find in an episode that will air starting next Tuesday, July 17. AP Photo/Chris Pizzello, File.
By: David Bauder, AP Television Writer
Bob Dylan and historians at PBS are in a dispute over the whereabouts of an electric guitar that the singer plugged in at the Newport Folk Festival in 1965, quite possibly the most historic single instrument in rock 'n' roll.
The New Jersey daughter of a pilot who flew Dylan to appearances in the 1960s says she has the guitar, which has spent much of the past 47 years in a family attic. But a lawyer for Dylan claims the singer still has the Fender Stratocaster with the sunburst design that he used during one of the most memorable performances of his career.
If the authentic "Dylan goes electric" guitar ever went on the open marketplace, experts say it could fetch as much as a half million dollars.
The guitar is the centerpiece of next Tuesday's season premiere of PBS' "History Detectives," and the show said late Wednesday it stood by its conclusion that Dawn Peterson, the pilot's daughter who works as a customer relations manager for an energy company, has the right instrument.
On July 25, 1965, that guitar was more an object of derision than desire.
With his acoustic songs of social protest, a young Bob Dylan was a hero to folk music fans in the early 1960s and the Newport festival was their Mecca. Bringing an electric guitar and band with him onstage to launch into "Maggie's Farm" was more than an artistic change, it was a provocative act. Most folk purists disdained rock 'n' roll.
What happened next is a little foggy. Did an enraged Pete Seeger really try to cut Dylan's electric power? Was the crowd upset about the noise, or by Dylan leaving the stage after only three songs? Was it even upset at all? He later returned for a couple of acoustic songs.
Either way, Dylan never looked back.
Music has its share of memorable instruments, like Paul McCartney's Hofner bass or the Gibson guitars that B.B. King calls Lucille. Yet it's tough to think of any instrument that was the focus of an event more meaningful than the electric guitar Dylan played that day, said Howard Kramer, curatorial director of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame + Museum.
"This is not just kinda cool. This is way cool," said guitar expert Andy Babiuk. "We all love Bob Dylan, but this is really a pinnacle point not just in his career but for music in general. I don't think music in the 1960s would have been the same if Dylan had not gone electric."
Victor Quinto briefly flew music stars like Dylan, The Band and Peter, Paul & Mary around during the 1960s. Peterson, his daughter, said Dylan left the Fender behind on an airplane and Quinto took it home. She was told that her father contacted Dylan's representatives to get them to pick it up, but no one ever did. Quinto died at age 41, when his daughter was 8, and she treasures any remaining connection to her dad. The guitar was in her parents' attic until about 10 years ago when she took it.
Peterson had no idea about its history until a friend of her husband's saw it and mentioned the possible Newport connection. After unsuccessfully trying to verify it on her own, she turned to "History Detectives" about a year ago for help.
"When I heard it, I was like, 'Yeah, right,'" said Elyse Luray, a former Christie's auction house appraiser and auctioneer who co-hosts the PBS show. But there were intriguing clues. Peterson's father left behind an address book that included a phone number for "Bob Dylan, Woodstock." Luray showed the guitar case to a former Dylan roadie who recognized the name of a little-known company that Dylan had formed at the time stenciled on its side.
A sheaf of papers with handwritten song lyrics was in the guitar case and PBS took them to an expert, Jeff Gold, who said the handwriting matched Dylan's. The fragmentary lyrics later appeared, in part, on songs that Dylan recorded but rejected for his 1966 "Blonde on Blonde" album.
Luray took the guitar to Babiuk, an appraiser of instruments who consults for the rock hall. He took the guitar apart to find a date written inside (1964) that made its use in Newport plausible. He drew upon blown-up color photos from Newport to compare the wood grain on the guitar Dylan played that day to the one in his hands. He's confident it's a match, likening the wood grain to a fingerprint.
Dylan's lawyer, Orin Snyder, said late Wednesday that the singer had the guitar.
"He did own several other Stratocaster guitars that were stolen from him around that time, as were some handwritten lyrics," Snyder said. "In addition, Bob recalls driving to the Newport Folk Festival, along with two of his friends, not flying."
In a response, "History Detectives" spokesman Eddie Ward said the show continues to believe Peterson has the guitar in question and would "welcome the opportunity" to examine the guitar that Dylan says is the one he played that day. Peterson said she stood by the "History Detectives" conclusion. Babiuk said he didn't want to get involved in a dispute, but said he was "99.9 percent certain" that he examined the guitar used at Newport.
Peterson said she had written to Dylan's lawyers in 2005 requesting that Dylan waive any claim to the guitar. Lawyers declined the request and said it should be returned but until this week, there had been no further contact.
Unlike some musicians who prize instrument collections, Dylan has generally looked upon them as tools to convey his art, much like a carpenter's hammer, Kramer said. "I don't think he's dwelled on a guitar he hasn't played for 47 years," he said. "If he cared about it, he would have done something about it."
That doesn't mean lawyers or managers wouldn't be aware of its value and fight for it, however.
Peterson told The Associated Press in an email that she had no plans to sell or donate the guitar to anyone.
"The guitar remains in a safe place," she wrote, "away from my home."

Where's Bonnie?!
She's back in NC!
I got back Sunday evening from visiting the Crossroads Quilt Guild in Perry, GA. Had an absolutely FABULOUS time!
I know you think the travel has got to be killing me,but you know what? It isn't! I might not have as much time to post as I did before, but when I can drive...I find that very relaxing. Me and books on MP3, a couple antique malls to get my wiggles out and break up a long drive, and I'm a happy camper!
This time I was able to go through Augusta and had a fun lunch with Siobhan of Scraps & Thread Tales. We hit an antique Mall there, and I bought the cutest little Sew Handy by Singer....with the box in tact! It was so fun to see her, even for an hour or so.
And Sio, I didn't come back through Augusta...I went 75 to 85 instead, so I didn't make it back to get that red cabinet with the drawers...if you still want it, it's yours! *LOL* Atlanta isn't too bad to navigate around on a Sunday morning, and going that way meant I avoided all the little tiny towns and stops along the way. Besides...their antique malls were closed on a Sunday! :cD Thanks for the wonderful lunch, the batik tote bag and the gorgeous china inside! It's already in my hutch, and i'm going to USE it!
I quilted and quilted in the evenings while enjoying my time with Angelia and her hubby. We laughed and laughed, went out for Vietnamese food, BBQ....what a wonderful time.
I am nearly done with the center of the "Love in The Barn Door" quilt....then the outer border is all that's left to go, but not sure what I want to do there yet.
You can see...in the center of my hoop...the SMALL area that needs to be filled in...almost there!
I'm using wool batting in this one, wow..I love how that needles. I remember Gwen Marston saying when we had lunch in Fl with her, Tonya and I, that she didn't like wool because it beards. Maybe so....but it sure needles better than cotton, and it doesn't get the little fleckies of batting pulling through on the thread like quilter's dream cotton does either. So what's a quilter to do? It's not something that will be heavily washed or used..so I think it's going to be less likely to beard.
Besides...it was scraps of batting that needed a purpose, and using them in this cleared them out :c)
Here's a close up of what I was doing in the pieced borders before I got the center done as far as it is.
And this little ditty! I finished this one on the plane to Idaho, and the binding and sleeve are done.....finished that while watching The Biggest Loser finale a week ago :c)
Today? Jared Takes A Wife goes ON the machine. I need it quilted and bound before the Quilter's Unlimited show at the Dulles Expo center in June. That's my goal for today...get it mounted in the machine,and start the quilting.
But FIRST..I'm off to the gym!
22 comments:
I came to leave a comment....and here you are answering my blogging dilema.....how to change my setting so "no reply" doesn't show up when people try to respond to my comment. YOU ARE THE HERO OF THE DAY!!!!!
I am a new quilt blogger...I felt like a blogger "stalker", so I figured I better start a blog of my own. :)
Your site inspires me....keep up the great work!HI Bonnie,
I got your book today and I am so thrilled to have it. I also am working on the Trip around the World quilt right now from your site.
This probably sounds like a dumb question but I had to
really think how to join the tube in the Trip around the World pattern. I think I have figured out to join the sides rather than joining the selvage ends together. Occasionally I am spatially challenged and this is an example of this. Have I got this correct? The rest of the instructions are very clear.
Your new little sewing machine is really charming.
I bet you and Sio had a terrific time together. I enjoy reading both your blogs so much.
AnnaBonnie, are you finding that you get smaller stiches with the wool batting? We talked about this when you visited us in NW PA. I am still not done with that yellow background/scrappy "tea leaves" quilt. But the wool batting gives me small stiches and easy needling. I love it, just wish the quilt was done!
P.S. We have added a horse to our animal menagerie, the girls are thrilled!
I know it's a hassle, but I've had to enable the word verification thing so that EVERYONE is eligible for blog giveaways. It's the only way to keep the spammers, scammers and other baddies at bay!

Browse by date within this newspaper
The 1870s and 1880s saw a flurry of newspaper publishing in Ashburton. First there was the Ashburton Mail, established in 1877 by Joseph Ivess, a prolific publisher of country newspapers. This was followed by the Evening Echo in 1878. The next year Ivess published the Evening News to help him in his bid for the Ashburton mayoralty. Charles Dixon and Horace Weeks, the owners of the Echo, now called the Ashburton Herald, started the Ashburton Guardian to oppose Ivess's ambitions. Ivess narrowly lost the election although it's not clear what, if any, effect the Guardian had on this.
