Northern Phoenix is mostly residential with pockets of commercial activity. Notably, the Desert Ridge Marketplace offers 110 acres of outdoor shopping and dining, a relative rarity in Phoenix's desert climate. Beyond Northern Phoenix, novice and experienced hikers alike can explore the flora and fauna of the Sonoran Desert through the system of trails at the 2,900-acre Cave Creek Regional Park.

I am not stuck up when it comes to hotels, I just prefer that they are clean and not likely to have bedbugs. This place did not live up to those standards. I didn't get bedbugs, but we also threw out the clothes we slept in after our stay. The sink was dirty and rusty, so was the bathroom, and the hallway lighting was low flickering fluorescent lights […] like a crackhouse. A homeless guy was hanging out in the lobby, and I assume he was a guest (not that I have anything against homeless people, glad he could get a roof over his head- but that is all this place is). There were "100% smoke-free" stickers on everything, and EVERYTHING, including the rooms and hallways smelled like smoke. Only stay here if there is no other option.

"Great Value"
For the price point, this is a great hotel. Rooms were clean and the front desk employees are well trained and respectful.Genuine Hotels.com guest review

"Convenient to I-15; easy on, easy off"
Lady on the reception desk allowed me to check in a bit early which was a big help to me; courteous, knowledgeable and friendly. Comfortable, clean and quiet room.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Expected more"
This hotel was disappointing, I didn't expect anything special for the price but the only positive was that the beds were actually clean and comfortable. Cons: no refrigerator, no microwave, no hair dryer, no iron or board. At one point we needed more towels so I called down to the front desk but the attendant advised that she was the only one there […] so that we would have to go down and get them ourselves. Also, the walls are paper thin so the first night security (very rudely) came to tell us to keep it down and honestly we we're not being loud. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
There wasn't even even a coffee pot in the room, the sink didn't drain and there was no fan in the bathroom..poor qualityGenuine Hotels.com guest review
We liked this place enough to come back again. Our fourth stay there. They were nice enough to extend our check-out time a half hour--which we needed. Close to Motorcycle Mechanics Institute, which is why we were there. If you plan to visit the nearby Walmart, ask at the desk how to exit the motel. One way works, but not the other.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
The room was alright for it's price. Couldn't ask for more. I would make another reservation there for that low rate. The beds were soft and rooms were clean. I slept good.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"the price was great"
it was ok i paid $40.00 for a room I knew it wasn't going to be anything fancy if you need a place to just sleep for the night this is it. the hotel itself is run down elevator is tagged and you know its not the best group that stays there but it was quite while I was there.Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Although the room was comfortable and clean, the hotel was not. The stair wells smelled like urine, were extremely dirty and looked like the room for any homeless that was passing by. Dirty boxes of clothes and shoes. Just nasty!Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"committed a cardinal sin!"
At 1:15 AM someone entered my room and woke me up! When I yelled out "hello", they said "security, I thought this room was empty." When I complained to the desk upon checkout, I asked for the name of the security guard and the name of the manager. I have those names in case you need them.

"Not to bad on a budget"
So I stayed here a week while I worked in phoenix. I'm a traveling contractor so when I decided to stay here I was pleased to know that my special accommodations were met. I have a company vehicle with very expensive tools and asked for a street view so could keep watch over my truck. The customer service was great the young gal up front was also very […] helpful as was everyone else. My room was cleand everyday with fresh towels and my bed was also made. However the area was so so but not bad at all they have in site security if that makes you feel better.

There were signs everywhere about this being a non-smoking room and hotel but the smell of cigarette smoke was all over the room. the air-conditioning was falling apart and the toilet sit was multi-color and wore down. for the one night it was bearable but will not stay at this hotel on my next trip to the phoenix area.Genuine Hotels.com guest review

"You get what you pay for"
Paid a reasonable price for the room. The carpets in the halls and rooms seriously need to be cleaned. The tub/ shower was really slow draining and I was standing in ankle deep water in no time.

"GREAT STAFF, undesirable odor."
From the moment we pulled up we were a bit nervous, strange people just hanging around all over outside. Upon walking in though we were greeted by friendly staff who got us all checked in, we grabbed our luggage and headed to the elevator, it's summer in AZ but even so it was very warm in the elevator and hallway to our room and we thought the small […] in the hall would end once we gotto our room but it smelled worse in there! AC took about 6 hours to finally cool the room down. Friendly people but we probably won't be back. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
Hotel was ok. Rooms were decent but nothing spectacular. Staff was friendly, but there was usually only one person at the front desk so it took forever to ask a question or make a request. Beds could be more comfortable. WiFi was available, but it was so painfully slow that most of the time I just used the hotspot on my phone. Overall it was ok, but […] i'll probably book elsewhere next time. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

"The Good, The Bad & The Ugly of my stay"
The inside of the hallways and elevators were hot! Couldn't wait to get into my room to blast the cold air. The bed was not as big as it looks in the pictures. It was also VERY firm. The room was pretty clean though. I wanted to use the room safe but they wanted to charge me for it so I passed. The worst part of my stay was thier WiFi. Sloooow. I could […] not stream any movies, videos or emails. It took forever to download a 30 second video and even then I could only watch 4 seconds at a time before it froze up. This was all weekend. I liked the late check out time (noon). The pool was nothing to write home about. The location was right off the freeway but I never heard the cars drive by. No continental breakfast but I knew that going in. Overall it was clean and the staff was friendly. I probably won't stay here again because nowadays, WiFi is very important on a stay at a hotel. Can't chance it again. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

"Hard to find, but a nice stay"
I admit, although it was a bit rough to find being that it was located on a one way access road, still, the comfort and quality provided were amazing for what the price per night was listed as; and even more so, a nice price for having been located in Phoenix as well.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
For the 1 night we stayed there, it was a decent hotel for the price and would use it again if we ever need to. Beds, room was clean but trash needed to be dumped and there was trash on bathroom floor.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Okay for the price"
It not what you expect from Red Roof Inn but it was clean and quiet.Genuine Expedia guest review

The staff was very friendly, but the room did not seem clean or well-maintained. It felt very dingy and I would not stay there again.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Pet Friendly"
Red Roof seems to offer consistently clean & comfortable rooms. It may be rated a 2 star hotel but it has the nessecities. The biggest plus is being pet friendly.Genuine Expedia guest review

"Basic hotel"
My wife and I stayed at the hotel from February 23rd to February 26th, 2013. Staff at the hotel were friendly and helpful. But the cleaning of the general areas of the hotel were halfhearted at best. Tile floors uncleaned in front of the elevators, stairwell next to the elevator did not look like it had been attended to in a very long time, carpet in […] hallways old and worn, carpet inside the elevator was not vacuumed during our three night stay, I could tell because the same debris was there every time we used the elevator, When I checked out I asked the clerk to pass on my comments to the person in charge but I do not know if that was done. I will say that the room we stayed in was clean and the bed was comfortable. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review

You can't out do Tarantino
By Danno01 (31 reviews) from Hastings , 08 Mar 2011[Highly rated reviewer]
Oh dear
someone is trying to go one further than Mr Tarantino and what we end up with is the most bloody, far fetched and overly violent film.
An abused nun taken in a brothel receives a message from God to reap vengeance, and believe me she sure does.
I can believe a lot of the Catholic church, but running drug factories and dealing with Mexican Hells Angel drug runners stretches it even for me..
There are no major stars and featuring lots of nudity and extreme violence, I am sure this will become a cult film!- Was this review helpful to you?

By Jacal1138 (50 reviews) , 12 Sep 2012This is a 'guilty-pleasure' type film. So don't expect a masterpiece as it really is noting more than an excuse to have some highly illogical storytelling with nudity and violence.
The acting, if you can call it that, is basically non-existent and the female lead comes across as an emotionless and wooden character.
As with most films of this kind, the range of awful or over the top acting falls to the supporting cast of villains. And, in that respect, all succeed.
I'm glad I rented it as I originally saw the beginning of it on the satellite 'Horror Channel' and it looked OK. But,having seen it in it's unedited entirety and without the distraction of the channel logo and commercial breaks, I can honestly say that it's not one I would bother with again.- Was this review helpful to you?

Some of you may not approve, like, appreciate, or agree with this post. But I didn't make this blog to please others or to dance around my own opinions so as to avoid disagreement. Of course, at the same time, I don't post these things to aggravate or get others worked up…I am simply expressing my thoughts and ideas, and it is appealing to me as a writer to post such things in a blog form, so as to collect my thoughts and have them more for my own benefit than anyone else's.
With that said, let's begin. The topic of this post is marriage.
Marriage is extremely important to me. It is something that I had considered long and hard about. So much goes into marriage, and it is not something to be taken lightly or in the spur of the moment. Of course, to others, marriage is also important, but perhaps does not carry the weight or the same magnitude as it does for me.
So lets get some context and background as to what has influence me on the viewpoint and perception of marriage. I grew up in a family where divorce is not known in my immediate family (thus far at least; God willing, we will never know it). My parents are still married after being married since they took their vows as high school sweethearts. Although they have had to face very troubling times, and have had their own drama and life challenges to overcome, they have remained true to each other through thick and thin, basing the foundation of their marriage on their faith and walk with Jesus Christ. I have four older siblings, all of whom have followed in my parent's footsteps of choosing carefully, and patiently, their mate and companion for marriage. This environment showed me what true love is, and what it means to have a successful, loving, and ever-committed relationship with another person in marriage.
Aside from that, I of course grew up in the church environment that did not promote divorce, frowning down quite heavily on its use in modern day culture. Now, before you start getting fired up, and saying I am naive and can't speak for all those terrible situations in which divorce seems to be the most obvious choice and all around best option, just take a deep breathe and hear me out. I realize that divorce is sometimes necessary: such as in abusive relationships, or finding out ones spouse has been unfaithful. Those are very valid reasons to separate and divorce the person you married. But more often than not, I am seeing and observing couples split for reasons such as lack-of-love, lack-of-emotional-connection, continuous and never-ending tension, constant arguments, and so on. Those are NOT grounds for divorce. And here is why…
Marriage is something more sacred than people realize nowadays. It contains so much more spiritual meaning and has greater depth than most realize on a soulish level. First off, when one takes the vow before another person that they are committing their life too, there is a REASON that the lines 'in sickness and in health', 'through good times and the bad times' are included and said out loud…yet people don't seem to realize exactly what they're promising! They LIKE the idea of being strong and committed enough to stay with that person through thick and thin, but in reality, they have no yet disciplined themselves for such a feat, or have not yet faced circumstances that challenged their ability to stay true through the end no matter how bleak and depressing life gets. It seems that people in Western cultures are just not prepared for that…and its because they don't really know what they're implying and saying.
Marriage is more than just feeling good with the other person…its about sticking with them EVEN WHEN WE HATE BEING AROUND THEM….read that again. And think about it. In the Bible, God does not say that if we fall out of love, or loose our connection with the other person, that that is tragic and we should be happy and the best way to achieve that happiness is to divorce and find a more suitable partner. No, instead, He makes it explicitly clear that cheating is wrong, divorce is the most absolute last option and ONLY under very specific circumstances. Otherwise…YOU MADE A VOW. People don't really understand what a vow before God IS.
If people really stopped to think about what it means that God is present during the marriage ceremony and that He is taking very literally what you're saying when you say 'till death do us part', I think they'd either hesitate to marry, or work WAY HARDER than they are now at making the marriage last. Because this is very important to God…this blessed and approved commitment reprsents far more than we realize.
It is a symbol of God's love for the church/His children. When we marry someone, we are committing to love that person as God loves His church, which is a love that is far beyond just romance, or feelings, or joy, or pleasure. The Bible goes to great, GREAT lengths to show what God's love for us looks like…and its not what I'm seeing in alot of modern-day marriages. Does God abandon us when we stop expressing love towards Him? Does God leave us when we stop talking to Him, or refuse to listen, or scream at Him everyday about how much life sucks and how we wish He'd make things better? Does God say, "Well, Jesse here hasn't been treating me right…I mean, I"m GOD, and what right does Jesse have to blame me for anything wrong, or to scream at me that I'm not listening, and yatta yatta yatta! That's it! I'm through! I'm leaving him because he's fallen outta love with me, and I want to be with only someone who loves me and is always making me feel good!" I mean, of all people, GOD would have the right to leave us when we don't treat Him right…HE'S GOD. And yet He still loves us unconditionally, and still remains by our side when we are at are worst, even at our worst TOWARDS Him…
And that is what He has said marriage is supposed to represent. It means that when your spouse, who made you feel all squishy inside at the beginning and made you smile everyday, when they suddenly or slowly become a douche-bag or boring, or seem to be picking fights on purpose, or with whom your struggling to find feelings for again…
you still have to stay with them.
You VOWED before GOD to.
God understands that they arn't treating you right. God understands that they are making your life hell and that it just doesn't seem worth it anymore to be with them. But He also promises us that there is nothing in this life that we can't face when we can Jesus at our side. He promises us that He is working good things for those who love Him and follow Him.
It doesn't mean the other person is gonna change. It doesn't mean the marriage will miraculously get fixed. What it does mean is that you will be highly blessed and God will honor your commitment, ESPECIALLY when the commitment is not a fun one. Your faithfulness to your spouse does not go unnoticed by God.
Anyways, this is a really long post, and I'm sure you all think I'm insane, or legalistic, or just plain boring and stupid. But…I"m just very serious about my future marriage someday. I am saying that I am working hard now as a single person to become disciplined and have enough self-control to not leave when things get hard. And although that seems to go against the norm…I'm pretty sure my spouse someday will be thankful that I'm doing this now…and not trying to fix myself later when things are ALREADY tough. I also have committed that once I marry, I am NOT divorcing. I am NOT. And if they divorce me…then that is that. I am not going to remarry. It would not feel right for me before God.
Why does that seem crazy and unrealistic? Cause it seems depressing and stupid. But I value God's eyes on my life rather than my own happiness or someone elses opinions.
And that is why, my dear readers, that marriage is VERY important to me.
Because it is VERY important to God.

Lucien Freud
Every one of us stands in the shadow of the previous generation. Sometimes, there are families where fine art extends back several generations. The Wyeth family is one such example, where the younger generation stands in a very large shadow indeed, bearing a name that is almost synonymous with fine painting, at least along the eastern seaboard. The same situation exists in families such as the Barrymores in film and theatre, John and Julian Lennon in rock music, as well as Nat and Natalie Cole in pop music. Two hundred years ago in Philadelphia, it was Benjamin Peale and his numerous offspring perpetuating a family tradition. In London today, there is an artist in a similar situation, whose grandfather's name is so instantly recognisable it has become the root of an adjective. His name is Lucian Freud, and his work could very well be considered "Freudian" both in the context of its creator and his grandfather's groundbreaking studies.
Though Sigmund Freud's psychoanalysis has largely been discredited today (in an age when there is a pill for every human malady), Lucien Freud's work makes a very valid statement in its almost frightening, painterly realism. Lucian was born in 1922 and along with British artists such as Francis Bacon (no relation to SIR Francis), Leon Kossoff, and Frank Auerbach, rose from obscurity to pick up the pieces of English art in the aftermath of destruction following WW II. Early in his career he painted landscapes and still lifes, usually in a tight, surreal manner, until the mid-1960s when he discovered the nude figure. There has never been a strong tradition of painted nudes in British art. And Freud's nudes would have been out of step with them in any case. His female figures are not "pretty." In fact the term "nude" is too pretty to describe them. They are unabashedly naked and certainly not attractive in the traditional context of French, Spanish, or Italian painting.
His 1989 painting,
Standing by the Rags,
is a prime example. The woman is fiftyish, somewhat overweight, and sags in all the wrong places. She leans tiredly against an enormous pile of what appears to be dirty laundry, though in this case Freud's loosely realistic handling of the many shades of whites, tans, and greys are the most intriguing, not to mention the most attractive part of the painting. The fleshtones have the same range, from ruddy in the figures lower extremities to cold and bluish in her midsection. Her head seems a bit small, her feet almost grotesquely large. Quite apart from the naked woman, the (Sigmund) Freudian sexual overtones are everywhere with suggestions of angels' wings amongst the rags near her shoulders along side male and female sexual elements discernible elsewhere in the pile. It's a painted Rorschach test as endlessly fascinating as it is repulsive. One has to wonder what Lucien's grandfather might have though of his grandson's work and the long shadow he cast upon it.

Fans injured at NASCAR race explore legal options
ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — The attorney for three NASCAR fans injured last weekend during a race the day before the Daytona 500 says they are exploring a possible lawsuit, but some experts say they could face tough obstacles in winning damages.
Matt Morgan, the Orlando-based lawyer for the fans, said at a news conference Tuesday than any suit would focus on the safety fence used along the track at Daytona International Speedway. He said he hopes to reach a settlement with NASCAR to avoid a lawsuit.
More than 30 people were injured last Saturday after a horrific wreck in a second-tier NASCAR series race sent chunks of debris, including a heavy tire, into the stands. Morgan declined to provide the identities of his clients, but said two of them were seated directly in front of the crash and sustained injuries ranging from a fractured fibula to abdominal swelling. All have been released from the hospital.

Comments about Pittsburgh Automotive 4 in. Magnetic Parts Holder:
Very powerful and well-made. Strong enough to hold many large nuts and bolts and even some wrenches, all at once, even upside down. TIP: use several for major projects and put a post-it note in the bottom of each one, with a written note telling you where the pieces came from. Number them in order as you disassemble complex parts, then re-assemble in reverse order.

I don't work on a car without one

About Me Auto Enthusiast, Casual Driver, Competitive Driver, Mechanic, Truck Enthusiast
Once I discovered these, I always use them when working on a car. I use several and keep track of bolts easier than before. I really enjoy using these, a great little convenience. Put it sideways right on the side of the car even, (or upside down on the inside of the hood), it won't hurt the paint because of the rubber backing.

Just a few days short of a year ago, Lassen County residents recoiled in horror as the details of the New Year's Day murder of Robert McElrath, a well-respected Susanville Police officer, who allegedly was killed by his wife, Joanna McElrath, and her boyfriend, Robert Glen James, spread like wildfire through the community.
Dec. 20, 2011 — In just a few days most of us will rub the sleep out of our eyes as the first light of day creeps quietly across the Great Basin Desert into our cozy bedrooms, kick off the warm covers and discover the joys of celebrating another Christmas morning — that is if the herd of little stinkers in the house don't first jar us wide awake with their cries of, "Santa Claus has been here! Santa Claus has been here!" while jumping up and down on the middle of our chests with their pajama-covered tootsies.
She told me her plans when I stopped by to pick up some information for a newspaper article.
This is an annual event the children enjoy, she said.
Dec. 20, 2011 — Last week a Sacramento judge tentatively ruled that member-by-member budgets are public documents that must be disclosed.
The assembly, which was named in the lawsuit, has decided not to contest the decision, so the tentative ruling becomes final. Judge Timothy M. Frawley ruled that "the strong public interest in disclosure outweighs any reason for keeping the records secret."

This 'evil' is why Marx invented communism. The suffering of the worker against the desires of the wealthy.
But this is how the free market orders itself. The theory is that merged, Union bank is stronger and more efficient. When you want an efficient economy, this is part of the price.
Capitalism is cruel but still kinder than other systems.
Banks merge a lot. When I was in college I was with Wells Fargo and didnt like them so I switched to Crocker Bank but Wells Fargo acquired them, closed their branches and I was again a WF customer. So I switched to 1st Interstate Bank - which was subsequently acquired by Wells Fargo and again they closed all their branches. I gave up.
So do what you want, there is no good and no evil. Its just the cold way it works.
try a credit union. they have fewer mergers and are owned by the members.

An oil well could be drilled 870 feet inside the Cheyenne Bottoms wetlands if a permit requested by H&C Oil Operating Inc., of Plainville is granted.
At around 2:30 p.m., the Great Bend Fire Department was called away from the Pawnee Rock fire to a hay bale fire at 251 NW 10th Ave. adjacent to Mid America Feeders. Five hundred large-sized hay bales with an estimated value of $80,000 were on fire, according to Great Bend Fire Chief Mike Napolitano. They were continuing to burn Saturday morning. "It's nearly impossible to put the fire out because the bales burn so deep within," he said.
If the turnout at the Great Bend Regional Hospital race pavilion Saturday morning is any indicator, color makes running more fun. Excitement over being doused with paint brought out more than 500 participants for the first ever Color Run. The event happened in conjunction with the third annual Human eMotion Charitable Run, Walk and Ride event sponsored by GBRH, with all proceeds going to support the Family Crisis Center in Great Bend.
At approximately 11 a.m. Friday morning, Great Bend Police apprehended Brandon Dannebohm. The fugitive was found sleeping in a vehicle within the city limits of Great Bend, according to Barton County Undersheriff Bruce Green He was arrested and is being held on a no-bond warrant from Stafford County. Barton County charges are pending for aggravated endangerment of a child, abandonment of a child, possession of narcotics, and other charges.
The USD 428 Board of Education welcomed Delores Baker and her family and friends Monday evening at the district office. Board president Dwight Young awarded her the R.O.S.E. (Recognizing Outstanding Support of Education ) certificate, recognizing her for her years of commitment to a Riley student through her 12 years of education in the district through the Youth Friends program.
For six years, Delores Baker, Great Bend, volunteered as a Youth Friends mentor for a Riley Elementary School student. For six more years, they nurtured their friendship through letters and lunch visits. This year, Baker had the great joy of seeing her friend graduate from Great Bend High School. And on Monday night, the USD 428 Board of Education will honor her with a R.O.S.E. (Recognizing Outstanding Support of Education) award at their regular June meeting.
Sixteen teams participated in the Rhonda Klug Memorial Volleyball Tournament held Sunday afternoon at Vets Park. It was only one of the activities planned for that day for the final day of the second June Jaunt festival in Great Bend that got residents out and about enjoying the attractions the city has to offer.
Overwhelming success! That's what Christina Hayes, Great Bend Community Director had to say about the second annual June Jaunt in Great Bend last weekend. Last year, most of the events were focused on Saturday. This year, Hayes and the city worked to provide a beefed up experience with three big days of activity which resulted in a hands down win for the city, residents and vendors, she said.

Imagine the damage a small piece of concrete an inch in diameter can do if it's picked up in the blast of a jet engine. It can rip a hole in aircraft body panels, damage propellers, crack windshields, and even injure airport personnel on the ground.
Tuesday night, Great Bend experienced wind gusts of up to 52 mph, according to the National Weather Service. According to USD 428 assistant superintendent Dan Brungardt, the Great Bend Police Department notified district administration that a tree had blown over into another tree. They expressed concern that if the wind shifted or the other tree gave way, at least part of the original tree would fall into the Washington School building.
Last week, we ran part one of a series on aging out of foster care. We were introduced to Daniel Martin, a foster alumnus who now works with other fosters in an independent living program in Wichita. His generation of fosters is working to change the system to ensure future fosters are empowered and have a more successful outcome. But it will take a lot of work to turn the system around. Here are a ...

At Monday's Great Bend City Council meeting, Great Bend residents George and Zola Weber requested the council consider banning Pit Bulls, as the city of Ellinwood has legislated recently. While their family has not been injured by the breed, their neighbors allegedly allow their dogs to roam the neighborhood. They've been chased, and they are afraid for their health and safety.
Perfect attendance is a rare accomplishment for most students. It takes planning and preparation, with illnesses and bad weather to contend with from time to time, to make it in to school every day on time. But for those who achieve it, it's nice to be recognized for the effort. Dale Shaner wanted to do that for USD 428 students. He had an idea, and after sharing it with his wife, Karen, and some friends, the group put the idea into action.

Lifestyle changes are what's going around the office here at the Tribune this season. It's time for me to jump on board too.
A year ago, on the morning of Dec. 14, the news of the tragic school shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary in Newtown, Conn., shocked and saddened people all over the country, as well as the world. Twenty children and six educators were killed when a gunman entered the secure school, walked into a classroom and began shooting.

Twenty children and six educators were killed when a gunman entered the secure school, walked into a classroom and began shooting.
Editor's note: The Kansas State Department of Education earlier this month released it's 2013 School Report Card. At first glance, it appears Kansas kids are scoring poorly compared to even a year or two ago. But with schools all over the country rolling out of the new Common Core and College and Career Readiness standards, the rules of the game have changed. The tests haven't however, and that skews the data scores are supposed to ...
Monday, Dr. Max Heim and Gary Secrest from the Kansas State Board of Education arrived in Great Bend to meet with patrons, faculty and staff, administration and USD 428 board members to discuss the newly begun search for a superintendent.

Tomorrow, I'm linking up to Kelly's Korner for Show Us Your Life Fridays. The topic this week is "Show Us What You Make or Sell".
Quilting has become my favorite way to spend my free time. My goal is to start selling quilts to help fund our adoption. I grew up watching my grandmother make quilts, and the quilts she has made me have become some of my most treasured possessions. I love giving quilts as gifts. It makes me feel like I'm giving something special that can be enjoyed for years. I also love the creative side of putting together different patterns and fabrics to create something unique.
Since I'm just getting started, I thought I'd share some photos of what I've made so far and what I'm working on now.
I set up a Facebook Fan page for this blog and my quilts. You can find it here. I will be posting all my completed quilts on Love You Muches Originals, so be sure to check it out if you are interested in a quilt!

A Waiver is a WaiverCorporate Counsel 2013-02-01 00:00:00.0 For years corporate lawyers have tried to make the case that companies can turn over once-privileged documents to regulators without waiving the privilege when confronted by shareholder lawsuits. Court rulings have been inconsistent, but in December, Merck & Co. Inc. was slapped down hard when it tried to make that argument. Even though the pharma giant got the U.S. Department of Justice to sign an agreement that Merck had not waived privilege when it turned over documents involving Vioxx, a federal district court ordered the company to produce those documents in the Vioxx multidistrict securities litigation. Vioxx was once Merck's blockbuster painkiller. The company pulled the drug from the market in 2004, after a clinical trial showed that it caused heart attacks. A slew of shareholder class actions followed and were consolidated before U.S. District Judge Stanley Chesler in New Jersey in 2005. Chesler dismissed the shareholders' action in 2007, ruling that the plaintiffs had waited too long to bring suit. According to the judge, the investors knew in 2001 that Merck was understating Vioxx's risk. That year, a study came out that raised red flags about Vioxx and prompted the Food and Drug Administration to send a warning letter to Merck. But Chesler's dismissal of the shareholders' suit was appealed all the way up to the U.S. Supreme Court, which ruled in 2010 that the case could go forward. In November 2011 Merck pled guilty to criminal charges involving Vioxx that were brought by the Justice Department. It agreed to pay a $321 million criminal fine and another $628 million to resolve the department's civil allegations. (It also plunked down $4.85 billion to resolve more than 27,000 personal injury claims over Vioxx.) As part of its deal with the Justice Department, Merck agreed to turn over communications that were protected by attorney-client privilege. A 1989 decision by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit held that when a company turns over documents to government investigators, attorney-client privilege is waived for the documents in all future civil litigation. In an effort to get around that ruling, Merck and its lawyers insisted that Justice Department officials sign a confidentiality and nonwaiver agreement. As lawyers from LeClairRyan (which isn't involved in the Vioxx securities MDL) pointed out in a blog post, courts have split over whether to enforce such nonwaiver agreements, which are known as "selective waivers." U.S. Magistrate Judge Cathy Waldor left no doubt about her position. "Documents produced to the [Justice Department] pursuant to a confidentiality and nonwaiver agreement must be turned over to plaintiffs," she ruled in October. In his opinion two months later, Chesler concurred. "Applying selective waiver in the context of voluntary disclosure to government agencies would amount to an unjustified expansion of the attorney-client privilege," he wrote in a seven-page decision that ordered Merck to produce the documents to the MDL plaintiffs. |

From the President
Spring 2007
At the center of academic life at a university is the scholarly work done by its faculty. As you will see in this issue of Hofstra Horizons, we at Hofstra University are fortunate to have faculty who are exceptional scholars in many areas, including such fields as sociology, science and psychology.
These scholars are also dedicated teachers and mentors who inject their scholarship into the classes they lead. The direct connections that students make with faculty create a close academic community at Hofstra.
The 2006-2007 academic year has been an exciting and productive year for our University. Important facilities, such as the main floor of the Axinn Library, have been renovated; interesting conferences on subjects as diverse as Primo Levi and women's equal citizenship have been convened; and honored guests such as author Karenna Schiff Gore, poet Stephen Dunn, scientist Bruce Stillman, actresses Susan Sullivan and Talia Shire, and alumnus Phil Rosenthal have visited. Each and every event and improvement adds to our growing national reputation, and it is due to our partnership with faculty that life at Hofstra University is so vibrant.
As always, I am impressed by the thoughtful essays contained in Hofstra Horizons, and I am pleased to introduce you to these pieces.
Congratulations to all contributors!
Stuart Rabinowitz

As soon as Harrison Barnes, John Henson and Tyler Zeller announced last summer that they'd return to school, visions of 2009 danced in the heads of North Carolina fans.
A better comparison was 2008.
Without an unlucky series of injuries, notably the fractured right wrist suffered by point guard Kendall Marshall, the Tar Heels are playing in the Final Four this weekend. They could have won the national championship, although Kentucky would still be the favorite with UNC in the mix.
Instead, North Carolina's season ended with a loss to Kansas, and coach Roy Williams is taking heat for how he managed the game.
Coincidence or not, that's how the Tar Heels' run ended four years ago.
The 2008 team was built largely around a talented group of juniors and sophomores who had endured a tough-to-swallow overtime loss to Georgetown in an NCAA tournament regional final the previous year. Ranked No. 1 entering the 2007-08 season and motivated to reach the Final Four, North Carolina arrived in San Antonio with a 36-2 record. Kansas rolled to a 40-12 lead, with Williams refusing to use his timeouts, and the Tar Heels rallied before falling 84-66.
UNC was fantastic, but the Jayhawks were a worthy champion. The Tar Heels took more steps forward the next season and celebrated a title.
It's unlikely that Williams' roster will be stocked with the same caliber of seniors and juniors next season. It'd be surprising if Henson, a rising senior, or Barnes, a rising junior, remain in school. Marshall, Barnes' classmate, could also leave.
Together, with Zeller and Dexter Strickland, they led an unexpected push to the ACC regular-season title in 2011 and helped the Tar Heels advance to the Elite Eight, where they lost to Kentucky. Just like the 2008 team, the Tar Heels returned most of the firepower from a regional runner-up and started the next season ranked No. 1. Understandable, but this cast wasn't as explosive or dominant as Williams' top teams in recent memory, and many people overlooked that the strong finish to 2011 was made possible by a series of comebacks.
Talented and resilient? Without question. A juggernaut? No.
It didn't help that Leslie McDonald suffered a season-ending knee injury last summer or that Strickland went down with one in January. Or that Henson was slowed by multiple injuries during the postseason and Marshall broke his wrist early in the NCAA tournament. It's a credit to Williams that he could recruit well enough to reach the Elite Eight with freshman Stilman White, a 6-foot, 160-pound in-case-of-emergency signee, and senior Justin Watts, who was a late-May signee four years earlier, directing UNC's offense.
On Sunday in St. Louis, the best and worst of Williams were on display. White posted six assists and no turnovers in a first half that, incredibly, ended in a 47-all tie. Barnes went on an eight-point flurry late in the half because of a nice adjustment that pulled him off the 3-point line, enabling him to score on backcuts and post-ups.
If the Tar Heels could pull this off, it'd go down as one of Williams' finest moments in coaching. The final eight minutes completely changed the narrative.
Kansas threw out a triangle-and-two defense, a strategy coach Bill Self had employed a week earlier against Purdue, and UNC struggled to recognize the switch, let alone find an effective way to expose the openings it created. The Jayhawks pulled away and punched their Final Four ticket.
The only thing more shocking than seeing Williams with a KU sticker this weekend in New Orleans would be Barnes and Henson returning like Tyler Hansbrough, Ty Lawson, Wayne Ellington and Danny Green did four years ago.

B A+F Guys & Girls: At the risk of sounding like a loser, I'm gonna go ahead and say that it's not so much the looks that matter as the personalities. And you can always find a really fun group of guys to hang out with. I'm friends with nearly all the boys on my floor and they're fun, entertaining, and also really dependable for the most part. Not all of them are attractive, but to each his own.
B A+F Guys & Girls: AU is a diverse campus, but is somewhat known for having a preppy look. There are plenty of good looking girls and guys, and are easy to find at many frat parties and in D.C. Anyone that is unimpressed with the looks of guys and girls are simply not going to frat parties.
B A+F Guys & Girls: People from all over the world attend AMU. The people are friendly and enjoy sharing experiences with one another.
B A+F Guys & Girls: WAY more women then men, but not too noticeable.
A+ A+F Guys & Girls: We have a very diverse student body, so there is a group out there for everyone and if there isn't its really easy to create an organization.

Sorry, there are no reviews.
Written by Jesse MacDonald
The cosmopolitan and ambitious student body tends to place a greater emphasis on individuality, motivation, and intelligence than on appearance, but a fresh, clean-cut look doesn't hurt, either.
Straight women at AU complain that satisfactory boyfriends are hard to find, as girls considerably outnumber the guys on campus. Plus, there is a notable gay population. Exploring the greater city may be a more efficient way to hook up. Don't be afraid to go out and meet people at bars, clubs, city organizations, or just on the street. While it is somewhat difficult to find straight, good-looking guys, they do exist at AU—you just have to look a little harder.

Machines...IN THE MAIL!!!
It's one thing when boxes of fabric show up on my doorstep and I do the happy dance of joy either finding ways to use it in charity quilts, or donate it to organizations in need!
But today....a box with fabric, cotton shirts, thread....and a VINTAGE SINGER arrived on my doorstep!!
Thank you so much Ila! You didn't include your email address, so I'm hoping you see my post here.
This machine is amazing. It looks like it was either a treadle that was motorized, or a very early motorized machine...it still has the shuttle bobbin! The shuttle is still there!
I did some research on the singer website. Her serial number is G8916262. This makes her a model #128 Singer, born on Aug 1, 1921. She was manufactured at the Elizabethport factory, in Elizabeth, NJ.
I can tell her decal work was gorgeous at one time! The fact that most of it is worn off is a sign of a good long life of hard use to me, and I love this about old machines. I would rather see a machine with pin scratches and scraped off decals, than one in mint condition any day because they have had a LIFE! They meant something to someone, just as my machines mean something to me. The more we use them, the more they have a place in our lives. Some machine that sat in a closet un-used just does not have a story, does it?
Thank you so much for trusting me with her, Ila! I am naming her after you :cD

If there is what looks like a maple leaf immediately to the right of the spool pin on the top - I believe the original decal is "La Vincendora" - which is the design on the machine I inherited from my mother - originally owned by my grandfather. She was manufactured in 1924, if memory serves, and still runs quite well (well, she will once more when I get the electrical short in the system repaired). :)
ReplyDeleteBonnie, what a beautiful thing to receive. I love the old
machines too. I have one that I bought at an estate sale of a friend. It had belonged to her mother and was in great shape. It was in the cabinet and all the drawers had all the attachments, old buttons and all the other kind of stuff we would have put in those places.
Are you a collector of old machines? Let me know. http://creationsbylsm.blogspot.com
This one I have is in storage right now and since I won't have room for it I would like to find it a good home.
Also scraps of material. All my stuff is in storeage and if you have scraps you would be willing to share I would pay the postage. Pat from Pattilou's and Pat from Qilting is my Passion last year sent me some scraps and I have just about used them up making quilts for the Sunshine group. They send the quilts to orphanges all over the world.
I am a disabled nurse on limited funds and could use anything I could get. I make strings and crumbs with the smallest pieces. So think of me before you throw any away. I don't make it a habit of doing stuff like this.
If you get a chance take a look at my blog. Make a comment if you would. I am new at this and love to see comments.
Thank you for your time.Oh boy, can you take back a post. I didn't know you were so famous, just a very prolific quilter. How bad you must think of me for asking for scraps. Lordy, what did I do. I always use my mouth before my head.
So here goes. Just spent a couple of hours reading your older posts and then going to your website. Thank you for the free patterns and all the helpful info you give along with them.
I was just educated last year by Pat on what crumbs and strings were. Boy am I hooked. I have made over 600 strings from the scraps the ladies sent me and at least that many crumb blocks. I love it cause you can use up just any old piece you have. No matching colors or patterns or anything. Just sit and sew. I was lucky to pick up a little Bernina on sale for less than 200 dollars. Needless to say I am in love. I know it is the bottom of the line for Bernina, but I don't care. It is perfect for me.
Ok to get back to my big blunder. I have a lot of string and crumb blocs not put into quilt tops yet. Would you like me to send you some? Let me know. http://creationsbylsm.blogspot.com or firstname.lastname@example.com
Please don't think me too ignorant for asking for scraps. I am known to open my mouth too much on occasion.
Have fun and I have to go and read more from you blog.
Thank youGod! I'm looking and looking at yard sales and in Goodwill for one of those and you get one in the mail! I need to get more friends!
Did you know that your machine isn't really "born" on that specific day. Or even that month? The dates that are matched up with the serial numbers are really the day that Singer released the batch of serial numbers. So your machine could be as much as two years "younger" than that date. I hadn't known that until I went researching for a Singer 99 my sister bought me for $30.I have one of those little 128's with the "La Vincendora" decals!
Mine is in a wooden base and had a motor and decrepit wiring. I removed the motor and added a repro handcrank.
Love those old machines! And the new machines too of course! Wouldn't want to give up my needle down, blanket stitch, etc. :)
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!
