This interview was conducted in spring 2011 by Mira Kruger, the granddaughter of a PH patient and a volunteer writer for PHA's Pathlight newsletter.
I live in Kent, Washington.
I am 11 years old.
I was diagnosed in 2008. I was 8 years old.
I started having symptoms when I was 5 years old, but we didn't know yet that I had pulmonary hypertension until years later. I was diagnosed with Long QT Syndrome when I was 7, and pulmonary hypertension a year after that.
I was playing soccer and having a hard time catching my breath. I used to be very athletic, but I noticed I was having a hard time keeping up with the other kids. I would get chest pains and feel dizzy, and sometimes I couldn't sleep at night because I couldn't breathe.
I love to play video games, and I also really like to cook, read, and play basketball at school during lunch time.
Sports and swimming are the two things that I miss the most. I really miss playing soccer, and I can't swim anymore because I have a central line.
My classmates are really good about treating me the same, but I sometimes feel different and left out when I can't join them when they're playing sports. I have to carry a backpack with my FlolanTM pump in it 24 hours a day. I sleep with it and bathe with it, and I wish I didn't need it. I also take lots and lots of pills every day and have a lot of doctor's appointments.
Don't worry, you are going to have family and friends to help you with this. It is scary when you are first diagnosed, but as time goes on, you learn more about your disease and the doctors find ways to help you feel better. Soon, things will become a little less scary.

The Portland State University Master of International Management Program
Idealist can help you make a difference in your career!
At the fair, you can:
The fair is free and open to anyone considering graduate school. Watch these two short videos to see why you should attend the fair and what it looks like.
Give yourself plenty of time to get to the fair, especially if you are travelling by car. We wouldn't want you to miss our fair because of traffic or parking issues.
Standard dress is business casual. We realize that you may be coming straight from work or a prior appointment.
If you have them, bring a stack of business cards or address labels (even homemade ones) with your full name, email address and areas of interest. You can provide these instead of filling out various information request cards. They are easier to read, which admissions recruiters really appreciate.
Bring a bag to carry the materials you collect from the grad schools.
Review the list of grad schools attending the fair in your city so that you can prioritize those that interest you most. This way, you'll have time to talk with the admissions representatives and make a good impression with well-informed questions.
No need to print out a copy of the participating grad schools. We'll hand one to you when you arrive and it will be the most up-to-date and the schools will be listed in the order that they are arranged in the venue.
Portland Outreach Page: To make it easier to share the details of the fair with anyone you think might benefit from attending, we have posted an event flyer, a sample Tweet, a Facebook update, and email text you can easily copy-and-paste!

Ride close, ride free. From stroller board to scooter fun!
A multi-award winning design, freerider offers dual functionality that transforms a stroller board into a kids scooter in seconds!
freerider stroller board is HOT! because:
connector 1 (sold separately) makes the freerider compatible with the following Mountain Buggy models:
connector 3 makes the freerider compatible with the following stroller models:
Written by: Debbie
Miðvikudagur 29 Maí 20134/5
I love the concept of the freerider and my 20 month old boy uses it as a scooter and has so much fun. Its great that the board is wider than a standard scooter as he can put both feet side by side and let me push him along. However I can't use it as a scooter board attached to my buggy as it doesn't (yet?) attach to the Vibe buggy. I did know this when I bought it however was told that P&T are bringing out new connectors all the time so a Vibe connector might be coming. I am still hoping that there could be someway to connect the freerider to the Vibe as it is an awesome idea for the toddlers that want a little bit of freedom but cant walk all the way themselves.

This looks great! Just wondering if the vibe attachment is coming so we can enjoy one.

The scooter is definitely fantastic quality and the kids love it. It's great for riding when not attached to the pram. However, we did buy it for the pram so that my 3 year old daughter could ride it when she gets tired of walking, but to be honest I find it far too awkward to actually use it for that. It's in an uncomfortable position for me pushing the pram when my daughter is on it, although I can live with that. It doesn't fold up easily when she's not riding it. And the worst part is that it is almost impossible to turn corners when it is on. I usually have to get my daughter to hop off it as it's turning circle is just too hard.

My 3 year old loves her freerider. We take it all around town and it is the perfect beginner rider for her. She can easily maneuver the rider and it's been the best tag along product we have. I recommend it for kids who want something fun and easy to use.

I am loving the freerider... What a conversation piece when we are out walking the kids. We have two boys. My oldest boy (2.5 years) gets too tired from walking when we go for long walks but is too energetic to sit in the stroller. So we love the ability to have him rest on the freerider between running around. It is a little difficult to steer, but still worth it! The free rider is an awesome addition to an awesome stroller. Can't wait till my son is a little older to have him skoot around on it too! LOVE IT!
Written by: Melissa
Miðvikudagur 29 Maí 20134/5
We think it's fantastic and my daughter loves it. We get lots of comments about it and people ask where got it from. The only negative is I don't find it very easy to attach onto the back of the buggy.
Written by: Ami
Miðvikudagur 29 Maí 20135/5
We love the freerider for my 2.5 year old. I also have the Phil and Teds Sports stroller with the doubles kit because I also have a 1 year old. My 2.5 year old son loves to get out of the stroller and use the freerider. It's very sturdy and easy for him to use. He feels like a big boy and I feel comfortable that he safe and still close by. I would absolutely recommend the freerider.
Written by: Lindsey Greene

I have the Sport buggy and have a doubles kit. Just had baby 3 in April. This attachment made it possible for me to get all three kids attached to the stroller so I can go for my walks at my own speed. Had to get used to walking slightly of center to scooter, but after a few walks I didn't even notice it. My oldest is four so he is tall (and stable) enought that I can attach the scooter without the bar and he holds on the the handle bar of the stroller (with the scooters bar attached I can't put the doubles kit at the back/bottom position and now that they baby is a little older she doesn't want to be laid back and covered up from the view. Once I figured out to attach it without its handle bar though it works great for me. Lifesaver for sure. I wasn't about to buy a new stroller, I love how compact the sport is and I really think my oldest is too old to sit in a stroller anyway, so this was the perfect solution. Have to stop at 3 now though, I'll be stuck in the house for sure with nowhere to put a fourth!

LOVE this product - best "stroller board" on the market. My son loves it, and he now is the coolest kid on the playground. Works with many strollers, too! We use it with our Verve and it's great!
Written by: Caitlin
Miðvikudagur 29 Maí 20135/5
My 3rd is on his way so I bought this for my 4yo to ride on the back. I love having the option on being able to push all three of my kiddos on one stroller. It is a tight fit to have one on the back with the second seat but it works!

Finland offers such variety throughout its vast landscape that it's best to learn a bit about the cities and regions before you go. That way you can plan to experience a taste of all the many facets of Finland!
The seventh-largest Western European country, Finland is nestled between Sweden, Norwayand Russia, with the Baltic countries to the south, separated by the Gulf of Finland. Its borders stretch from its capital city of Helsinki on the southern coast, up to the expansive and sparsely inhabited landscape of Lapland above the Arctic Circle. Finland is home to untouched forests, 187,888 crystal-clear lakes, 179,584 islands and 5,100 rapids.
Surrounding Helsinki is the culturally and historically rich King's Road. This scenic southern region stretches west of Helsinki to the 770-year-old former capital of Turku and east to the spectacular Lake District. Finland's southern coastline is also cradled by a thousand islands, forming a breathtaking archipelago--the largest in Europe.
Warmed by the Gulf Stream, this Scandinavian country enjoys a climate similar to that of New England and the Great Lakes region of the United States—with four very distinct seasons. In the summertime, the lush countryside basks in the warm, nurturing rays of the sun that shines for 15 hours a day! In the northern regions, the sun remains high in the sky for two months, shining 24 hours a day. Between the months of October and April, Finland becomes a vibrant and glowing festival of lights. Fondly referred to as the "Lively Season," visitors have a wealth of cultural and historical attractions from which to choose.
No matter where you visit in Finland, from the spectacular archipelago in the south to exotic Lapland in the north, you will find a vibrant, friendly country of sophistication, fascinating history and unspoiled natural beauty—where English is widely spoken.
The fascinating countries of the Black Sea region straddle the transition between Europe and Asia.
Come along on our overview of the islands of no fewer than 18 European countries.
The Rhine, one of Europe's great rivers, brings to mind wine and beautiful landscapes.

Local Time:
The Hotel Monteleone has long been a favorite haunt of distinguished Southern authors and many of them immortalized the Grand Dame of the French Quarter in their works. Ernest Hemingway, Tennessee Williams, and William Faulkner always made 214 Royal Street their address while in the Crescent City. While in the Carousel Bar & Lounge, Truman Capote used to boast that he was born in the Monteleone. (He wasn't. Though his mother lived at the historic hotel during her pregnancy, she safely made it to the hospital in time for Truman's debut.) The list doesn't stop there; Anne Rice, Stephen Ambrose and John Grisham also joined the ranks of literary guests over the years making our hotel the premiere destination for haunted hotels in New Orleans.
Generations of hotel guests and staff have regularly experienced haunted events that would cause even the staunchest skeptic to take pause. This haunted hotel in New Orleans has a restaurant door that opens almost every evening and then closes again, even though it is locked. An elevator that stops on the wrong floor, leading a curious couple down a hallway that grows chilly and reveals the ghostly images of children playing. Hotel Monteleone is known for being one of the premier haunted hotels in New Orleans.
This historic New Orleans landmark is a member of Historic Hotels of America. The hotel boasts 19 meeting and reception rooms, 570 newly renovated rooms and suites, 2 Award-Winning restaurants, the famous Carousel Bar & Lounge, Logo Shop, heated rooftop pool, SPA Aria, state-of-the-art exercise facility, and valet parking.
It's been said that the French Quarter begins in the lobby of the Hotel Monteleone. And in fact, this venerable establishment sits majestically at the foot of Royal St. giving guests the best point of departure for all things New Orleans. Visitors need only step outside this French Quarter hotel to discover shop after shop of fabulous European antiques, estate jewelry, Oriental rugs, and art and antiquities from around the world. Quaint restaurants and specialty shops line the cobblestone French Quarter streets that lead to Jackson Square, the Old French Market and the Riverwalk where tourists and native New Orleanians stroll the levee and watch the steamboats and barges along the Mississippi River. At this New Orleans hotel you'll find history around every corner.
The signature and junior suites of the Hotel Monteleone offer all of the conveniences of the hotel's luxurious guestrooms plus portable phones, CD players, bar, and refrigerators. The bathrooms offer separate glass showers, garden Jacuzzi bathtubs or Jacuzzis.
Some parlors feature sofa beds, wet bars, ice makers, fax machines and plasma televisions.
We offer world-class guest rooms at the Hotel Monteleone. Each of the hotel's guestrooms has been recently refurbished, and many boast high ceilings, crown molding and traditional decor. All of the rooms are also both non-smoking and pet friendly.
The Traditional Rooms are perfect for the individual traveler, and are available with a king bed or two double beds. Many of the Traditional Rooms offer views of the French Quarter or the mighty Mississippi River. Our Preferred Rooms are the largest of our rooms, and also available with a king bed or two double beds. Most of our Preferred Rooms feature views of either the Mississippi River or the French Quarter. If you're looking for the best hotel rooms New Orleans has to offer then look no further then the historic Hotel Monteleone.
With 55 New Orleans hotel suites, the Hotel Monteleone can accommodate practically every traveler's need with our Executive, Vieux Carre and Riverview Suites, Salons and Parlors. Ranging from 207 square feet to over 358 square feet, these rooms offer an array of views, overstuffed beds, Jacuzzis, and upscale amenities. All guest suites feature CD players, portable telephones, high-speed Internet, minibars and other upscale amenities.
At the Hotel Monteleone, we strive to offer our guests everything they could possible need when it comes to services and amenities while making us their home away from home or office away from office! We are delighted to provide high-speed Internet access, a full service business center, newly remodeled fitness room, rooftop heated pool with breathtaking views of the downtown New Orleans skyline, and a full service day spa. With room service, two restaurants, and the most popular hotel bar in New Orleans, we also offer gift cards, to ensure the gift of the Hotel Monteleone will be memorable and greatly appreciated! Our New Orleans lodging has an historic feel to it and is the premier choice for visitors to the French Quarter.

Local Civil Discourse talk avoids conflict with that other national debate
The date of the Civil Discourse debate on jobs, the economy and the deficit has been changed from Monday to Nov. 1 to avoid conflicting with the presidential debate.
The Civil Discourse debate will still be between 7 and 8:15 p.m. at the Greenfield Public Library, 5310 W. Layton Ave., and will feature Frank Tramel, conservative blogger; Jennifer Epps of the Citizen's Action Committee; Dale Schmidt, CEO of the Glendale Chamber of Commerce; and Louis Fortis, owner of the Shepherd Express who has a doctorate in economics.
The debate is the second of three sponsored at the library by the Greenfield Listening Debates Alliance.
Scott Walker ramps up campaign with start of 10-day tour of Wisconsin
West Allis — Gov. Scott Walker kicked off a 10-day tour of the state on Saturday, in the countdown to the Nov. 4 election, calling on supporters to "double down" their efforts to get out the vote in what is shaping up to be the closest race of his political career.
"We need people here... knocking on doors, making calls," Walker told supporters who hoisted campaign signs and chanted "four more years" outside the Republican Party headquarters on S. 84th St.
"We need you to reach out at work. We need you to reach out when you drop off the kids at school...wherever it might be. There's too much at stake."
Walker's plea and the last-minute blitz of the state appear to be an acknowledgment of the role voter turnout is expected to play in the tight race with former Trek Bicycle Corp. executive Mary Burke. Numerous polls have put the two in a virtual dead heat.
On Saturday, Walker touted his administration's record on fiscal management and job creation and characterized the gubernatorial race as a battle between power brokers in Washington and the champion of taxpayers of Wisconsin.» Read Full Article

Preps football photos of the week: Level 1
The fight for a championship trophy started Oct. 24 as Level 1 of the WIAA playoffs kicked off.
Now Newspapers and Lake Country Publications compiled the best photos shared on social media featuring teams from our coverage area, predominantly in Milwaukee and Waukesha counties.
Here's the best sights and sounds from Level 1.
Speakers split evenly on West Allis proposed sewer lateral program
The nearly 200 people who packed the West Allis Common Council chambers, a large meeting room down the hall and the lunchroom downstairs on Tuesday for a hearing on a program to help homeowners pay for broken sewer laterals seemed to be evenly divided on the program.
Sewer laterals are pipes that take waste water from homes to sanitary sewers in the streets.
The program calls for owners of residences up to three units to chip in $40 a year. Then, if their laterals need to be replaced, they would pay only $1,500 rather than face the average $8,000 tab if they did it on their own. Just fixing the lateral would run the property owner $300. Owners would not be forced to get any work done.
Speakers who said they liked the program welcomed the peace of mind it offers. Owners don't know what shape their laterals are in and they could go bad anytime, supporters said.
The main argument expressed against the plan was that even though most people would consider $40 a year a small sum, many would have trouble coming up with it. Among the other arguments were that the fee would probably go up, that the fund might be raided and the money spent on other things and that people who have never had any trouble with their laterals would still have to pay.
Poll: Which area team will win a state football title?
This week is when championship seasons title runs are started. Level 1 of the 2014 WIAA Football Playoffs start Friday.
But we want to know which, if any, of the area local teams will win a title in Divisions 1, 2 and 3. Answer on our polls.
Last year Arrowhead beat Franklin in Division 1, and Greendale lost in Division 3 championship games.

West Allis to start process to approve new city administrator
West Allis — Rebecca Grill, city of Milwaukee deputy city clerk, has been recommended by Mayor Dan Devine to serve as the new West Allis city administrator.
The administration and finance committee on Monday, Oct. 27, will formulate questions and interview Grill sometime in November.
The city administrator is charged with the daily operations of the city, like a chief operating officer while the mayor can be likened to the chief executive officer.
The city administrator also is the key liaison between the mayor's office and the common council. The administrator is charged with finding ways to improve operations, sees to professional development, makes sure the community is informed and often helps organize community events.
"We want to get it right, it's a very important job," said Devine who called Grill impressive.» Read Full Article

A Milwaukee Journal Sentinel investigation found inappropriate reductions in property assessments creating an unfair system. In dozens of communities across Wisconsin, 20% or more of taxes are being paid by the wrong people.
Preps football photos of the week: Week 9
The regular season of the 2014 high school football season came to a close for area teams Oct. 17.
Now Newspapers and Lake Country Publications compiled the best photos shared on social media featuring teams from our coverage area, predominantly in Milwaukee and Waukesha counties.
Here's the best sights and sounds from Week 9.
Police arrest 1 after neighbors attack each other about 'child behavior'
One woman was arrested after neighbors reportedly attacked each other Sept. 22.
According to the Greendale police report:
A resident in the 5300 block of Mulberry Drive called 911 to report her neighbor head-butted her in the face and then attacked her about 3:40 p.m. Sept. 22.
The caller said she was injured but refused medical treatment.
Shortly afterward, police received a second 911 call from the alleged suspect in the attack, who reported the victim "jumped" her and injured her. She also stated she was injured, but refused medical attention.» Read Full Article
Greenfield schools 'right-sizing' enrollment for smaller classes
Class sizes are down, but still not quite where educators would like them to be, administrator Mark Kapocius reported to the Greenfield School Board on Monday.
Enrollment this year is down 159 students mainly because 103 nonresident students left or graduated and were not replaced, he said. They attended the Greenfield schools under the state's Open Enrollment program.
Because the School Board wanted smaller classes to improve achievement, it decided in January not to accept any more Open Enrollment students this year.
"It's a 'right-sizing' of our enrollment," Kapocius said.
But lower enrollment translates to lower state aid while 103 fewer Open Enrollment students means the schools received nearly $670,000 less in reimbursement from the state, said Amy Kohl, director of business services. The impact on state aid will eventually be felt also but not this year because aid is tied to a rolling enrollment average, she said. But the schools will have to plan for less aid in the near future, she said.

Jurors see video key to sex assault case against ex-strip club owner
Jurors on Wednesday watched the surveillance video at the core of a sexual assault case against the former owner of Crazy Horse Gentlemen's Club in West Allis.
On the video, which was not unearthed until three years after the 2010 incident, the man, Dino LaLicata, now 35, is shown engaging in sex acts with two different women. Both were 20 at the time.
One of them, identified in court records by her initials, KNH, testified that she did not realize at the time that the incident may have been assaultive, despite the fact that she was highly intoxicated and the man had grabbed her hair and pushed her head down during the sex act.
In portions of the video, both women appear to be voluntarily engaging in sex acts with LaLicata. Defense attorney Mike Steinle also pointed out that both women appeared to be smiling and laughing during portions of the encounter.
KNH remained in the room while LaLicata, of Menomonee Falls, had intercourse with the other woman, who was lying virtually motionless throughout most of the video.» Read Full Article

Motorcyclist killed in East Tosa crash identified
The motorcyclist killed in a crash at North Avenue and 67th Street about 2 p.m. Sept 27 has been identified as Roy Szolwinski, 57, of West Allis, according to the Milwaukee County Medical Examiner's Office.
Szolwinski was not wearing a helmet and suffered multiple blunt force injuries, an official at the medical examiner's office said. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
Wauwatosa Police Lieutenant Brian Zalewski said it appeared the motorcyclist was heading east on North Avenue when he collided with a pickup truck traveling north on N. 67th Street. No one else was injured.
Juli Peterson, who came upon the accident shortly after it happened, said several people sprung into action. She said strangers sat with Szolwinski, and one man rubbed his leg.
"It was so touching to see," she said. "I hope his family can know that he wasn't alone and there were caring strangers who sat with him."

Compassion and respect for others.
Read Judith Warner's reponse in Time.
Bonjour Carol. Great story. Beret-wearing Druckerman was on the Today show this morning. Did you see the segment? Veronique (French Girl in Seattle)ReplyDelete
Very very very interesting and well done post today, Carol. There is a "French School" for lower grades around the corner from me. Every morning I seem to be ending my walk as slim women are pulling up and dropping their beautiful little charges off, to be escorted into the school by more slim, French speaking women.
A delightful touch of foreign elegance to start my day.
I watched her interview yesterday & found it interesting. I was much that way & tried to do same for my children. US parents tending to give Instant gratification,never letting a child fail,& retry, putting them in the spotlight when other adults are present, not giving them responsibility, fixing all their problems , giving false selfesteem by over praising every little thing,micromanaging them, not being consistant, letting the child be the boss are all things they do to cause the misbehaving children I see in public tormenting their parents,being loud, obnoxious, throwing tantrums, being rude etc. I am generalizing, certainly,but, unfortunately, seems to be the norm. My son-in-law has said his middle school classes are impossible! many years ago, he had a few trouble makers in class, now he said the good kids are the minority. and some of my friends with teens are having horrid times now because of the above parenting "style". sorry this so long. I love children & it concerns me that so many no matter their societal backgrounds are being reared to be As you said compassionate with respect for others.ReplyDelete
Your post is exquisite, Carol!
Not only French children are brought up differently. From what I have observed, each country in Europe seems to have its very own way of bringing up children.
I think it is wonderful, though, that this book has so much good press, watching other cultures' approaches to childrearing is truly interesting.
Bonjour! Such an eye-opener!! There is nothing like exposure to other cultures to teach you what your own culture is. How perceptive of Ms. Druckerman to glean all this and put it into book form. Au revior.ReplyDelete
This resonates with me--reminds me of how my parents were with us...sweet.ReplyDelete
You are ahead of the curve on this one, Carol :) The national media is catching up to you!
I've never been to France to see the effect of child rearing there, but from what I've read here it seems to work extremely well. It seems like most French kids are well behaved, especially when it comes to patience.
I'm curious if this stays with the French into adulthood?
Saw this book talked about on GMA last week. Very interesting book. My mom didn't like me messing up the kitchen so no cooking allowed, but I did get to lick the bowls. :)ReplyDelete
Hey Nikon,
where do you think all that poise/savoir faire & je n'ai sait quoi comes from?
Cris, that's how come we got wrecked!!! :)
Bowl-licking is a BIG non-non
You have to wait until snack time/gouter at 4:30 PM
I swear I was French in another life, or it's because my mother was trained by French nuns--but as a 17 year old California mother I knew instinctively to do these things--and my son became French!! For real...a citizen!
In HS he studied in Aix-en-Provence, went to college in the US, and graduate school in Paris. He's now lived in Europe half his life and isn't returning to the US.
I believed that a child should have certain known firm boundaries, freedom within those, and affirmation of his strong qualities...on the theory of shinning the light on the good to make that grow. And always stopped what I was doing to look at him in the eye at his level t0 listen to what he was saying w/o interruption so he would likewise learn respect and not feel anxious, unheard, unappreciated or rushed. We had a garden that he worked in and learned good nutrition and respect for food and the environment from an early age.
When I was PG at 17--can remember when in grocery stores seeing 'adult' mothers who should know better, holding their babies/toddlers feet and arms dangling facing outward on their hips--and thinking to myself, 'What does that communicate to this child...'You are a sack of potatoes.'
The French do so much that is wise...and hope it doesn't change.
BTW the man who signed the peace treaty effectively ending the Mexican-American war in the Golden State in 1847 so that California became a US State--was French!!
Ah. You are so on trend with this... it seems to be EVERYWHERE lately. Here is another thing for North American mothers to stress over. Hahah.
I found the parallels with Walter Mischel's work very interesting.
I must confess to implementing 'les gros yeux' to great effect for some time. But sometimes it is necessary to cross them first to get the attention of the naughty infant in question.
I first heard about the book on BBC Women's Own mid-January. It came out in the UK first with the title,
It was instant love for me.
Why ever did they change the title?I take a lot of pictures of French children in Paris when I can without being invasive.
They ARE different than the home-grown variety in some ways...
Great post! I really enjoy your blog.ReplyDelete
Boundaries, reinforcing manners and teaching kids to respect parents' space...sounds like how many of my Christian AMERICAN friends rear their children. Me included! But I'm glad you touched on the highlights of her book. Love your blog!ReplyDelete
You just reaffirmed my purchase of an Easy Bake oven..today..to start:) Although both my girls let les boys bake to their hearts content..I think it was for me:)
I'll tell you a funny story about throwing food one day:)
The French government allows French parents the physical punishment of their children.
50 % of the French would like to keep this law.
Because of the occupation of both parents French children have to adapt themselves into the society from early on. According to the French sociologist Isabelle Bourgois : "French children are no half-adults to whom everything has to be explained. With a slap on the back the children learn to accept the rules."
Btw, clouts are widespread in regular French schools.
Sorry, but for me this authoritharian system is not sympathetic at all. IMO slapping children is a sign of weakness and lacking empathy. But to each his own.
I was interested to read how French children are raised. I just returned from a very short visit to Paris, during which I went to the Musee Guimet.
On entering the first gallery, I saw a group of 3 years old – presumably from a day care center of some sort – sitting on the floor in front of a group of Khmer statues, while their teacher explained to them who the statues represented.
(I can't say I understand spoken French well enough to get it all, but the words "Vishnu" and "Siva" were clearly comprehensible.)
One would never see a group of American toddlers being taken on a similar field trip here, which I find to be very sad.

Gold Hill woman faces 35 animal cruelty charges
GOLD HILL — Authorities have charged a Gold Hill woman — nearly a month after charging her companion — with 35 misdemeanor animal cruelty charges on failing to feed and properly care for dogs, kittens and a parrot at their mobile home.
Peggy Earnhardt Bost, 64, who lives in the 13000 block of N.C. 52, was served with a criminal summons Friday evening after a complaint from Rowan County Animal Control. Her companion, Troy Houston Autry, 49, also of the same address, was issued a summons Feb. 21 on the same charges.
Bost and Autry are scheduled to appear in district court on April 2, court records said.
Animal Control officials have said there were 42 animals at the Gold Hill property, but Autry surrendered seven animals to officers. The home was said to be in an unsanitary condition. An animal control supervisor said in February the floor was soaked with urine and covered in animal feces. The claims have been denied by both Autry and Bost. The animals remain at the Rowan County Animal Shelter.
Nearly 10 years ago, law enforcement officials investigated the home, and its owner, Bost, for animal cruelty. In 2002, Bost was convicted on multiple charges of mistreating animals. Many of those animals were dogs. She was again charged with animal cruelty in March 2003, while on probation.

Thanks for the help and camaraderie of all here. I won't try and name everybody because I'd, no doubt, leave out some. While the twin demise of a company and these forums seems inevitable, a couple thoughts strike me as comforting;
No big deal, but since getting my Martin bow, I became intrigued with Gail Martin's 'story' a bit; studied up on him on line and came to admire the man as an innovator and an American entrepreneur. Companies come and go; that's just the way it goes, but I think Gail Martin now has an eternity to be proud of his accomplishments and the company he built, and it was still viable when he left. I don't see that all as a bad outcome. I also rather think Mr. Martin's integrity, and the integrity of his company for so many years, probably has had some influence on the decency and integrity of those on these forums; a small group but good hearted people; loyal to his products, eager to help others and quick to smile. For all that, I thank Gail Martin and all of you.... o

Creighton All-American Doug McDermott had five rebounds and two assists on Tuesday, and ended up leading the team in scoring (14.1), field goals (39), three-pointers (18), free throws (17), free-throw percentage (.895) and minutes (23.8) during the fortnight. McDermott joined Mitch Richmond (in 1987) as the second player in Team USA history to lead the team in field goals, three-pointers and free throws during the World University Games, and his 14.1 points per game was the most for any American at the event since Shelden Williams (14.9) in 2005.
Team USA led 25-20 after one quarter of play. Finland raced to leads of 8-2 and 12-8 early, only to have the Americans counter with a 14-2 run. Adreian Payne (Michigan State) had five of his team-high seven points during the run.
Will Sheehey (Indiana) scored all of USA's points during a 12-2 run to open the second quarter as the Americans opened up a 37-22 lead. Team USA outscored Finland 27-6 in the second quarter to take a 52-26 lead into intermission. Sheehey had 16 points at the break on 7-of-9 shooting from the floor.
Finland never got within 22 points in the second half.
Sheehey had a team-high 20 points for the US, making 9-of-12 field goals. Payne (13), Iowa's Aaron White (12 points, 10 rebounds), Indiana's Yogi Ferrell (11 points) and BYU's Tyler Haws (10 points) also scored in double-figures for Team USA.
Carl Lindbom topped Finland with 18 points in the loss.
"To see our guys develop as a team as we have progressed through this experience here has been very delightful for the coaching staff," said Team USA head coach Bob McKillop. "These are terrific young men and they're going to have wonderful careers this year. They represented the United States with superb character and their effort as a team got better and better. Frank Martin and John Beilein are just outstanding. I felt we had three coaches who had voices of support, encouragement and inspiration, and were tremendously loyal to our team and to me and to USA Basketball. This is a wonderful, wonderful experience and to have coached, I will cherish this forever."
Assisting Davidson's McKillop on the USA sideline were John Beilein of the University of Michigan and Frank Martin of the University of South Carolina.
For the tournament, the USA established five U.S. Men's World University Games competition records, including 3-pointers made (81), 3-pointers attempted (225), rebounds (403), rebounds averaged (50.4 rpg.) and assists (161).
The USA now holds a 144-11 all-time record in World University Games play.

Features of physiological status of aged people in sparsely circumpolar areas of Russia
AUTHORS: Elena Yu. Golubeva, Raisa I. Danilova
KEYWORDS: Sparsely Circumpolar Areas of Russian North, Elderly Population, Physiological Status
JOURNAL NAME: Health, Vol.4 No.9A,
ABSTRACT: Stable growth of the elderly age group is observed in the population of circumpolar areas of Russia. In northern conditions chronic pathology facilitates activity restriction development, changing the habitual lifestyle. Ageing process involves functional constraints of physical and mental activities, difficulties in doing everyday work. Aging changes of the nervous and respiratory systems are more characteristic of aged men and women living in the nursing home system of Russian urban circumpolar area. These changes are caused by worse psychological state, hypokinesia so there is a need in improving approaches in medical and social care services, in particular, introducing activating technologies and the micro-environment enhancement.

Did you know that the largest organism in the world is a set of aspen trees in Utah that share the same root system? Or at least it could be. Depending on how you define what constitutes a single living system, the Great Barrier Reef might be the largest, or it could be a 2,200-acre fungus in Oregon. And that doesn't even ask the question of how you even define life itself. Is a virus alive – and does that have any bearing on how we might stop it from spreading?
As a biology major, you'll delve into many subjects like the ones above and other exciting areas, whether you see yourself in a laboratory, in a school, as a medical doctor or out in nature – taking samples of that fungus or working to preserve the forest firsthand. If you are looking for a biology program that will prepare you for a career in several areas of biology, learn more about Buena Vista University in Storm Lake, Iowa.

Summer Sampler Series: Minnesota Block
Minnesota is block #1979 in the Encyclopedia Of Pieced Quilt Patterns. It is in the "Unequal Nine Patch with Small Center Square" pattern category—a huge category with an amazing variety of designs represented. This block originally appeared in the magazine "Hearth and Home," which was popular with women in the late 1800s and early 1900s. Hearth and Home published a series of 50 quilt block patterns, one for each state (there is a book that collects all 50 state block patterns, which you can buy here). I couldn't find any information on whether there is design significance to each state's block (I'm guessing there isn't). But Wisconsin's is pretty interesting too, so you might see that one from me one of these days! It might be kind of fun to make a "travel quilt" of blocks for all of the states that I've been to over the years.
Minnesota Block Tutorial
This is another block that combines traditional piecing and paper piecing. But if you've made it this far in the quilt-along, I promise you'll think this one is a piece of cake. No, seriously!
1. Cutting:
• (4) 6.25" print squares for hourglass units
• (4) 2.5" x 5.5" pieces for diamond units
• (1) 2.5" square for center diamond
• (8) 3.5" x 4.5" pieces for background of diamond units
• (4) 2" squares for background of center diamond
2. Let's start with the paper-piecing this time. You can download the paper-piecing template here. (Please note: Printing directly from Google Docs can cause your template sizes to be inaccurate. To avoid this, download the PDF to your computer and print it from Acrobat—for information about how to do this, see this Flickr discussion.) You will need 4 copies of the rectangular template and 1 copy of the small square template.
3. Starting with the rectangular templates, adhere the 2.5" x 5.5" pieces to the back of the templates, right side facing out, so that your fabric is on one side and the printed template is on the other. I use double-sided tape to put my fabric onto the template, but you could also use a glue stick, fabric glue, or pins. Your fabric pieces should be the same size as the template and should completely cover the back of the template. In the photo above, mine are all adhered to the templates.
4. Take your 3.5" x 4.5" background pieces and cut them in half diagonally, so that you have 16 triangular pieces.
5. Position a background triangle onto the back of your template/fabric, right side facing, as shown.
6. Flip the entire thing over, so that you're looking at the printed template. Hold it up to a light source to check that the triangular background piece is in the correct position. It's hard to tell in this photo because my fabric is black, but at least 1/4" of the triangular background piece should be above the line you'll be sewing on, and the rest should be below the line.
7. Sew directly onto the line between Section 1 and Section 2, as shown. Be sure to use a shorter stitch length to make it easier to tear off the paper later. I'm using 1.4 on my machine.
8. Fold back the triangular piece and press into place, as shown. (My paper is curling in the photo above, due to the nine-thousand percent humidity we're currently having.)
9. Sew the other three pieces into place in just the same way. When you're done, you should have something that looks like this.
10. Using the paper template as a guide, trim off the excess fabric.
11. Tear off and discard the paper templates. Fold back the background triangles and carefully trim off the excess fabric underneath. (So I'm trimming off the black fabric from underneath the white fabric.)
12. You should now have a diamond unit that looks like this. Repeat the process to make a total of four diamond units.
13. Now follow the same process one more time to make the center diamond. Use the 2.5" square paper template, your 2.5" square of fabric and your 2" square background pieces. After sewing and trimming, you should end up with a unit that looks like this.
14. Now that your paper-pieced diamond units are complete, we'll use traditional piecing to make the four hourglass units that complete the block. Start by cutting the 6.25" squares in half diagonally, and then in half diagonally in the other direction. You should now have a total of 16 triangles like the ones above.
15. Match up one triangle of each print and sew them together along a short edge. Don't sew together the long edges—if you do that, you'll end up with an HST, and we actually don't want any of those this time! : ) I pressed my seam allowance to the side, toward the blue print.
16. Do the same thing with another pair of triangles, but this time, swap the sides the prints are on. Yes, it does matter which sides the prints are on, so pay attention to that. Again, I pressed my seam allowance toward the blue print.
17. Join the two triangles together for a completed hourglass unit. Pressing your seam allowances to the side should give you those "locking seams" that will help you nicely align your points. The completed hourglass unit should measure 5.5" square. Repeat to make a total of four hourglass units.
18. Arrange all 9 units as shown, join into three rows, and then join the rows together to complete the block.
See, that wasn't too bad, right? And look what you've made (and learned!) in only three weeks! My blocks are above—I can't wait to round them out with the final three blocks. I hope you guys are enjoying this as much as I am! Stop in at Swim, Bike, Quilt on Monday for Kate's final block in the series, and don't forget to upload photos of your progress to the Flickr group. I have been so impressed and amazed at the wonderful creations that have been showing up there! Happy sewing!

Lee; this block is just so pretty in your colours..mowing lawns today; so will get to it soon as I can...thanksReplyDelete
Oh my god, every single block is so pretty! Thank you so much for all that work you put in the QAL!ReplyDelete
Cool!! And you made it sound easy :) You write the best block tutes, Lee!ReplyDelete
great tutorial. I really like how you show the pieces cut and the sizes and numbers and then such great step-by-steps. You make it look easy (which to me is the highest compliment I could give!)ReplyDelete
thanks for taking the time to show your process. I really appreciate it and can't wait to see this project finished. It's already so pretty!
Looks like another fun block! Thanks, Lee.ReplyDelete
I know I keep saying this but this is the best QAL there has been on Flickr, I love how it jumps between blogs, how you're all making the blocks in your own fabrics and how you have a bit of block history as well as the instructions and how the blocks are getting harder - genius!ReplyDelete
That's the prettiest block I've seen all morning. It takes my breath away. :)ReplyDelete
Oooo! Yea! This looks cool and really fun! I can't wait to get started!ReplyDelete
Oh, and also - I have found that if you print from Google docs, if you select "None" in the Print Scaling section (right below # of copies) it prints up perfectly!ReplyDelete
That's a neat looking block and I love the colours you used!ReplyDelete
as a native Minnesotan (even though i've been relocated to FL) i approve this block! and i can't wait to make it myself!ReplyDelete
thanks for the tutorial! i'm excited to try my first paper piecing!
Love this block! You ladies are putting together such a great quilt. It makes me want to join.ReplyDelete
Definitely will be making this block--my husband is from Minnesota! I like the idea of a "travel quilt"!ReplyDelete
Uff-dah! (I speak Minnesotan.) That's a challenging block!! Beautifully executed, as always!ReplyDelete
YOU TOTALLY ROCK! I've been wanting to learn paper piecing, but summer's so busy to join in with this QAL, but your directions are so incredibly good, sewing and computing, that I'm going to make one of these FOR SURE (especially since we were in MN last month)!!! THANKS!ReplyDelete
super easy instructions (said from a paper piecing non-enthusiast)...ReplyDelete
I love your blocks together... look good. :)
Beautiful block and great instructions!ReplyDelete
OK... I've peaked on your blog once before. Peaked again and you made me want to not only follow but try to made this quilt you're doing! I love this block and the choices of fabrics are so powerful together! Love your tutorials on all the blocks too!ReplyDelete
Stunning block! These blocks certainly rock!ReplyDelete
Awesome block! and your quilt is going to be terrific!ReplyDelete
Ok this one challenged me...I don't know why but I did more Frog Sewing (ripping out) than I have in a very long time. LOL The block turned out and when I can I will post a pic. I fussy cut the paper pieced block section as I had an image that I wanted to play with fabric that I had bought 10+ years ago and just could never cut into. Thanks for the perfect block to do that.ReplyDeleteReplies
I love this block, but when I print it out the pattern is not the correct size. The inch measurement is correct by the scale at the bottom, however the pattern is about 1/4 inch too small on each side. Anyone else have this problem???Delete
Hi Emily,Delete
Sorry you're having problems! This block has been available for almost two years now and nobody else has said anything about it being the wrong size. By pattern, do you mean one of the templates, or the full block? When you print the templates, Template A should measure 2.5" x 5.5" with seam allowance, and Template B should measure 2.5" square with seam allowance. My templates are correct when I print it. So if the templates aren't printing at that size, you need to make sure you've downloaded the PDF to your computer (don't print from Google docs, it can screw up the size), and print with no scaling or at 100% size.
If the templates are the correct size but your entire block is finishing too small, double-check that your hourglass units are the correct size (5.5" x 5.5" unfinished).
Also, I wasn't able to email you the answer to your question because you are a no-reply blogger! If you'd like to learn how to change that setting, visit http://happyhourprojects.com/blog-tips-are-you-noreply-commentblogger-com/ and http://www.flusterbuster.com/2013/02/are-you-no-reply-blogger.html.
Hi Faith, I have the same problem with the previous commenter.. I too lost 1/4" from the paper piecing templates. Template A is 2.25" x 5.25" even though I downloaded the pdf and print from the downloaded pdf...ReplyDeleteReplies
Hi Amira,Delete
Sorry you're having trouble! The template does measure 2.5" x 5.5". Many dozens of people have made this block successfully over the 2.5 years it's been available. Please see my reply to the above comment to double-check your printer settings.
