I?ve been planning this trip for about a year. Soloed it many times in some of the most brutal weather you can only imagine. Survived 3 avalanches, two set off by my own arrogance in disregard of Mother Nature?s signs. On one summit attempt I pitched a tent somewhere around Split Rock as a front came in so quick I barely got in it before the wind picked up to 128 MPH and temperatures dipped down below minus 20 degrees fahrenheit. I stayed in that tent for twelve hours straight while I got buried under six feet of blown snow, my water bottles frozen solid. I attempted to pack up my tent almost abandoning it because my fingers were frostbitten, and I was in a total whiteout and somehow lost my compass and my way back. That?s a story for another time. In the heart of the White Mountains New Hampshire, Mount Washington. Designated to have the world?s worst weather. This mountain has claimed the lives of more people until the Mt. Everest disaster in 1996. What draws me to summit this beast in the middle of winter can only be described as the Voice of God. This is a voice I wanted to share with my girlfriend, Celeste. I set out to get her ready for her first winter summit 6288 feet above sea level. Not very high but in the right geological area where the top is directly in the jet stream during the winter. I had to make our work outs hard but fun. Celeste had never hiked any distance let alone carrying a pack with just enough equipment to stay on top one winter night. Every day I would track the weather patterns over Canada and the Great Lakes hoping to catch the almost impossible two day low pressure front that might stall at the top keeping the sky clear for optimal midnight star gazing. It came together almost like magic. Celeste was in great shape and the weather just might cooperate for a perfect weekend hike. I packed the truck and drove three hours straight to the foot of the big hill just as the sun was coming up. We signed the log book at Pinkham Notch and I wrote in our route up and back. The rule of thumb is if you?re not back within 24 hours after your due time, you?re most likely dead. The sky was clear and the sun was bright. You could see the wind wisping the snow across the top leaving behind a rainbow of color. It wasn?t long before we were stripping off layers as we made our way up the beginning of Tuckerman?s Ravine Trail. Soon, a lot sooner than I had anticipated we had to put on crampons. This was Celeste?s first time wearing these spiked appendages. It takes a little getting use to and you usually gouge holes in whatever pants you?re wearing unless you wear gators! I was wearing shorts and Hot Chilies. There?s a psychological side to hiking when it?s minus 5 degrees at the bottom and minus 16 at Hermits Lake where we planned to make camp. You have to stay focused. I pointed out scenic spots and places you never see in nature anywhere else except on the big hill and only in the winter. Celeste was having trouble keeping up and making frequent stops which spells trouble this early in a long hike. The snow was getting deeper and softer and post holing was becoming a problem with my 78 pound pack and her 35 pounder. I made a decision to change routs and try to find some packed snow. Big mistake. We wondered off a bit and missed the cut through to Boott Spur. We were now dead heading a new trail we so lovingly call, The Johnson Walsh Trail. Every step became a post hole. Celeste was becoming weak and I noticed the beginning signs of dehydration and minor hyperthermia. I took her pack and sent her ahead about 500 yards just so she could rehydrate and rest. I would follow with both packs. We did this for the next 2 hours until I finally found a small cut through with a small river to cross that would eventually take us back to Tuckerman?s and finally to Hermits where I quickly set up my tent and got Celeste in a sleeping bag. She was in stage two hyperthermia and totally dehydrated. I didn?t plan on melting snow for water so I didn?t bring enough fuel to continually boil enough water to put into all my containers and rotate all night into her sleeping bag. She was trying to sleep and I was desperately trying to keep her awake. If she fell asleep I would most definitely have to carry down a popsicle. There?s a fresh water pump about a half mile from where we were camped. I wasn?t sure if it was frozen and the rangers didn?t know at the bottom when I asked. I was supposed to tell them when I returned. She seemed to become a little more responsive after I forced her to eat and drink some hot chocolate and hot chicken rice soup. I rotated the last of my water into her sleeping bag. I told her to try to stay awake and I would be right back while I made a run for some liquid water, I hope. Before we left there were only 5 other people on the trails that day. It was too cold for the average recreational hiker/skier to venture up. There was an avalanche and frost bit alert out to anyone that was bold enough to try to summit. I stopped in at the ranger?s cabin at Hermits Lake to see if anyone was there. No answer but the door was left unlocked. I thought about getting Celeste up and into the warm cabin just as a last ditch survival move. Continued up a side trail and found the pump. Lucky for me someone had dug out 6 feet of snow all around it. As I was filling my Nalgene bottles, a hiker stopped by to fill up. I started to tell him what I was up against and he abandons his summit attempt that day and came back with me to help boil water and continue to rotate bottles in and out of her bag. Dark falls quickly in the mountains as does the temperatures and so we bundled up with everything we had in our packs. I let Celeste sleep for a short time and woke her periodically to drink something hot. Our new friend was packed in tight and sleeping before 8:00. I stayed awake and warm by shoveling out snow around us. I still wanted to attempt a midnight summit but couldn?t leave her alone in case she went south for the winter. Finally, I blew a breath of relief when she woke up and had to pee. She was going to be alright. I gave her a head light and warmed up her boots. Still dazed and wobbly, she shuffled down a little path I had shoveled out to a place we could pee. She wanted to get back into her bag right away. I told her just for one second take a breath and look up. It was all worth it. It wasn?t the stars from the summit but just as good. Almost as if God was talking to us. It was so cold I had to get her back into her bag and warm again. I stayed awake and kept boiling water with the help of our new friend?s fuel. I watched the side of the mountain start to brighten as morning was upon us. I knew the temps would start to come up and we should make our way down as soon as we both got some hot chocolate into us. I was going on 38 hours without sleep and still had to hike down 2 miles carrying both packs. Celeste felt better but was still dehydrated and would shiver if she didn?t keep moving. I grabbed her boots to find they were frozen solid. I gave it the ol? just put them on and do it try but she started to cry as soon as she took the first step. I figured I had about another 15 minutes of packing to do so I pulled out the Whisper stove and roasted her boots until they were partially unfrozen. I put them on and laced them up telling her about all the beautiful things she was going to see on the way down. She sobbed into a frozen paper towel. Things started to look good as we made our way down and groups of people were making their way up. Some getting out of my way as they tried to figure out why I was carrying two packs, sometimes dragging one behind me. We stopped and tried to enjoy the water falls at the bottom or beginning of the trail thinking back to just a couple of hours ago this little hill almost kept one of us forever.
Celeste has made two other attempts to summit Mt. Washington. One in the winter of 2006 where she made it to Lions Head. The other in spring about 2 years later. She made it to the headwall of Tuckerman?s. I?ll continue to solo my friend, Mt Washington and hope if it ever decides to keep me it?s for the best.
This adventure happened in 2005. I wrote it from memory in about 45 minutes on 5/19/2011. It?s raw and unedited with many events left out. I hope to put this and the many other short adventure stories together someday for others to enjoy.

I have gotten very lazy with MoFo posts lately. I definitely strayed from my original theme, and that is okay – it was inevitable. Planning and organization are the roots of my very being, but sometimes spontaneity is appreciated.
Today's post is a repeat of a recipe I shared two years ago during MoFo 2010. I think it will brighten your day and remind you of summertime. Plus, some things are worth repeating. That's a fact.
The recipe is for Bahama Cake (originally called Paradise City Cake because of my love for Guns-n-Roses during their prime sexy awesomeness. The Bahamas = paradise). It's full of lovely tropical flavors like banana and coconut (Just like Axl Rose used to be lovely in his own way). It's perfect for breakfast!
Bahama Cake
1/2 cup coconut milk
1/3 cup coconut oil (already melted)
1/2 cup unrefined light brown sugar
1/4 cup unrefined granulated sugar
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1 teaspoon orange extract
zest from 1 large orange (about 1 Tablespoon)
1 1/2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour (whole wheat pastry would work well too)
1 Tablespoon arrowroot
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 large banana, sliced thin
1-2 Tablespoons unsweetened coconut flakes
1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease an 8×8 inch baking pan (metal is best here) and set aside.
2. In a large bowl, stir together coconut milk, coconut oil, sugars, extracts, and zest.
3. In a medium bowl, stir together flour, arrowroot, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
4. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until combined. Do not over-mix.
5. Spread batter into prepared pan and top evenly with banana slices. Sprinkle coconut flakes on top.
6. Bake for 22-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out mostly clean. It's okay if some crumbs stick.
7. Place pan on a cooling rack. Slice and serve once cooled.

Phil - the Cubs have a PTBNL coming from the A's after the draft. What are the rules in this case. I am pretty sure it couldn't be anyone that was on the 25 man roster after the trade, but could it be someone on the 40 man roster?
not being able to play 1st is just kinda sad...
it's a much harder position, but one of the worst displays of D i've ever seen is bj upton playing SS in AAA. it was absolutely amazing how horrible he was there in every single aspect of playing the position...and he got multiple seasons to showcase how awful he was there.
Really bad day yesterday for Mesa Solar Sox 1B Dan Vogelbach.
On a more positive note, it was good to see D Rose with some explosiveness last night. It'll be interesting to see if San Antonio style basketball can beat LeBron-style over the course of the season and through the playoffs if Rose stays healthy.
Tannenwho scorching the defense just brings him in line with the rest of the league. I suspect most top 20 College teams could rip through this D on any given Saturday.
2 short LCS series, not much they can do. Yeah, money's the motivating factor, but not like anyone who was going to watch isn't going to watch now.
Also smart to not go up against football too much especially the early games. Ratings in a series tend to go up later in the series.
the same mediocre team with Angelo/Lovie...at least those two had a few seasons of brilliance.
I didn't watch much of the game yesterday, Cutler seemed mediocre at best, which I think we can fairly say is about as good as he is with occasional moments of brilliance.
Tannenhill scorching your defense is far more alarming to me, he's one of the worst in the league.
Many people think it is a mistake to lose an important game with your best bullpen pitcher (assuming that is your closer) still sitting in the pen.
Maybe it would have been less obvious to say that players are protective of their roles, and a closer might not appreciate being used in a non-closing situation on the road. You're managing players as well as situations--but I guess that sounds obvious again.
Then why is he still in the lineup?
McClellin=first pick of Emery tenure=will play until dead
I think the whole thing about a QB Whisperer only works if the QB has the capabilities needed to see the entire field. No whisperer can magically create that ability. Holmes was open on the interception to a covered TE. Holmes had a fifty fifty chance of dropping the pass thrown to him, but that's better than an interception. Either Cutler doesn't trust Holmes with the ball, or he didn't see him. If he didn't see him, you can't fix that. You can fix the other I guess, but that's a pretty big problem, too. You can't have receivers out there the QB doesn't trust.
I don't know why they didn't go with the lineup they had last week. Those scrubs did better than McClellin ever will. Whoever was arguing with me here about my complaints about the D and how we at least now have an exciting offense has now seen that argument put to rest.
There's nothing here at all. And Cutler is now Alfonso Soriano in a much more important capacity.

The decision was made during a special board meeting at the district office at 1875 W. Lowell Ave.
Board President Greg Silva said the staff cuts were the result of the district predicting fewer students in the 2013-14 school year.
"We have less students in the district, so there is less need for personnel," he said. "We're still deficit spending, so we're looking to consolidate and make the staff as efficient as possible with less money coming in."
District officials expect to have 100 fewer students in the next school year, according to Casey Goodall, assistant superintendent for business services for TUSD. He said the decline in enrollment translates into a $550,000 loss, as the state allocates $5,500 per student to the district.
Goodall said the district has lost about 100 students annually for the past five years, but he did not have a definitive reason for the loss.
On the layoff list are seven teachers and one principal with tenure — having worked a minimum of three years for the district. There are also nine teachers who were on probation — fewer than three years on the job.
The initial proposal was to lay off the equivalent of 20.8 certificated employees, which was approved by the school board Feb. 26.
On March 13, district officials finalized the list and sent letters to put those employees on notice. Out of the original 20.8, 19 requested a review hearing.
On April 30, administrative law judge Ann Elizabeth Sarli ruled to uphold the board's decision.
Because the district must send final layoff notices by May 15, district officials said a special meeting was necessary.
"I'm never happy about sending those letters out," Silva said. "(Loss of teachers) is not good for the district. But it is a business, and unfortunately we have to let the teachers go."
The only resident who attended the meeting was John Anderson, president of the Tracy Educators Association.
Anderson said he received notification about the special meeting Wednesday afternoon, so he didn't have time to notify the employees involved.
"I'm disappointed," he said. "Based on my understanding of enrollment projections and budget, does it warrant layoffs? It doesn't seem the enrollment projections are down enough."
A similar situation occurred last year, and nearly all of those teachers were hired back before the start of the school year. Anderson hopes the same will be true this time.
"Disappointment is the word, with hope they will rehire as many as possible," he said.
According to Sheila Harrison, assistant superintendent of educational services and human resources for TUSD, rehiring the laid-off teachers would depend on "student enrollment, staff allocations, teacher retirements and teacher resignations."
"These are very difficult decisions for the district," she said. "It's no one's first choice to lay anyone off."

Greg Bennett wins the Ironman 70.3 Muncie curtailed due to potentially record-breaking temperatures, while Laura Bennett clinches the Ironman 5i50 Boulder Peak on her home turf. Andreas Raelert finishes the Ironman Frankfurt in fourth place. In Switzerland, the Salvisberg brothers secure a one-two in the sprint race in Nottwil.
Record temperatures in Muncie
The race organizers decided to halve the race distance at the Ironman 70.3 in Muncie due to the extremely high temperatures at the competition venue. Bennett, who is in the throes of preparing for Hy-vee and Las Vegas, had planned to complete another test race over the half distance in Muncie. The American was unruffled by the change to the race distance and emerged as winner after achieving the day's best times for the bike and run split.
Excitement for competition on home soil
One day after her husband's triumph, Laura Bennett then won the Ironman 5i50 in Boulder. For once, Bennett did not have a long journey, with the competition taking place effectively on her own doorstep. Despite non-drafting regulations, Bennett chose to compete on the brand-new BMC timemachine TMR01. Bennett will also be riding the aerodynamically optimized road bike at the Olympics and it proved to be the perfect platform for victory in Boulder.
"Off-day" for Raelert
Most people seemed to rank Andreas Raelert as the favorite from a strong field of competitors at the Ironman European Championship in Frankfurt. After his customary strong swim leg, the Rostock athlete at first seemed to be fending off his co-favorites on the bike leg. But after a fall, Raelert was unable to recover his strong rhythm and the constant rain and cool weather made the 180-kilometer bike stretch increasingly difficult. Raelert reached the run changeover trailing by more than 10 minutes, but where others would have given up more easily Raelert drew deep to put in a sound marathon, bringing him up to fourth place overall.
A one-two for the Salvisberg brothers
In Switzerland, the fourth race of the Swiss Triathlon Circuit involved a sprint race with a 0.75-kilometer swim, 20-kilometer bike race and 5-kilometer run. Florin Salvisberg celebrated his third sprint victory in Nottwil, with his brother Andrea coming second.

Contact dermatitis is a condition in which the skin becomes red, sore, or inflamed after direct contact with a substance. There are two kinds of contact dermatitis: irritant or allergic.
See also: Poison ivy - oak - sumac
Dermatitis - contact; Allergic dermatitis; Dermatitis - allergic
Irritant dermatitis
is the most common type. It's caused by contact with acids, alkaline materials such as soaps and detergents
, fabric softeners, solvents, or other chemicals. The reaction usually looks like a burn
Other irritants may include:
Allergic contact dermatitis is caused by exposure to a substance or material to which you have become extra sensitive or allergic.
Common allergens include:
Although you may not have a reaction to a substance when you are first exposed to it, regular use can eventually cause sensitivity and a reaction to the product.
Some products cause a reaction only when the skin is also exposed to sunlight (photosensitivity). These include shaving lotions, sunscreens, sulfa ointments, some perfumes, coal tar products, and oil from the skin of a lime. A few airborne allergens, such as ragweed or insecticide
spray, can cause contact dermatitis.
Symptoms vary depending on the cause and whether the dermatitis is due to an allergic reaction or an irritant. The same person may also have different symptoms over time.
Allergic reactions may occur suddenly, or only after months of being exposed to a substance.
The hands are a common site for contact dermatitis. Hair products, cosmetics, and perfumes often lead to skin reactions on the face, head, and neck. Jewelry can also cause skin problems in the area under it.
Itching of the skin in exposed areas is a common symptom. In the case of an allergic dermatitis, itching can be severe. Dermatitis caused by an irritant may also cause burning or pain.
Allergic dermatitis often causes a red, streaky, or patchy rash where the substance touched the skin. The allergic reaction is often delayed, with the rash appearing 24 - 48 hours after exposure. The rash may:
Irritant dermatitis often shows as dry, red, and rough skin. Cuts (fissures) may form on the hands. Skin may become inflamed with long-term exposure.
The diagnosis is mostly based on the skin appearance and a history of exposure to an irritant or an allergen.
Allergy testing
with skin patches (called patch testing) may determine which allergen is causing the reaction. Patch testing is used for certain patients who have long-term, repeated contact dermatitis. It requires three office visits and must be done by a health care provider with the experience and skill to interpret the results correctly.
Other tests may be used to rule out other possible causes, including skin lesion biopsy
or culture of the skin lesion
(see skin or mucosal biopsy culture
Treatment includes washing with lots of water to remove any traces of the irritant that may remain on the skin. You should avoid further exposure to known irritants or allergens.
In some cases, the best treatment is to do nothing to the area.
Emollients or moisturizers help keep the skin moist, and also help skin repair itself. They protect the skin from becoming inflamed again. They are a key part of preventing and treating contact dermatitis.
Corticosteroid skin creams or ointments may reduce inflammation. Carefully follow the instructions when using these creams. Overuse, even of low-strength over-the-counter products, may cause a skin condition.
Along with, or instead of corticosteroids, your health care provider may prescribe drugs called tacrolimus ointment or pimecrolimus cream to use on the skin.
In severe cases, corticosteroid pills may be needed. You will start them on a high dose, which is tapered gradually over about 12 days. You may also receive a corticosteroid shot.
Wet dressings and soothing anti-itch (antipruritic) or drying lotions may be recommended to reduce other symptoms.
Contact dermatitis usually clears up without complications in 2 or 3 weeks. However, it may return if the substance or material that caused it cannot be found or avoided.
You may need to change your job or job habits if the disorder is caused by occupational exposure.
Bacterial skin infections may occur.

The start of a long process for the possible sale of 100-plus acres of city of Monterey land on Fort Ord for commercial development was approved Wednesday.
The City Council passed a unanimous resolution at the recommendation of the city planning staff, to prepare an exclusive negotiating agreement for the land, with DBO Development Co. — the Donald B. Orosco Development Co. — of Monterey. The property is designated by master and zoning plans for mixed commercial use and open space.
The company wants to build a phased mix of auto-tourism venues and office space in a multi-year buildout the developers say will create more than 2,400 permanent jobs, 1,200 construction jobs and add $2.5 million in property taxes to city coffers.
The jobs would be "living wage jobs" paying between $56,000 and $61,000 annually on average, according to a city report.
Completion date
The City Council voted to spend up to $30,000 for an appraisal of the Ryan Ranch land to be completed within 120 days, with the staff then coming back with alternatives for a two-phase negotiating agreement. The agreement time frame, suggested for 18 months, does not lock the city into anything and is the first step before future price negotiations take place, city officials said.
Although there will probably not be "a nail hammered into a board for three years" as Mayor Chuck Della Sala put it, council members Nancy Selfridge and Libby Downey were insistent an appraisal be conducted first.
Simultaneous actions
Peter Baird, managing partner of Mahoney & Associates commercial real estate firm, advised the council to start the appraisal and the negotiating-agreement process simultaneously.
Baird and other development experts discussed pros and cons of a traditional appraisal versus a highest best use appraisal, which takes into account longer-term issues such as continuing fiscal benefits from taxes.
A 24-acre, open-space parcel that is a "public conveyance" and not part of any sale of the land would currently be excluded from the negotiating agreement.
The DBO proposal was outlined in a city planning department report and with verbal presentations before the council on Tuesday.
Orosco's vision "is to build upon Auto Week and the proximity of the Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca by catering specifically to the automobile enthusiast and creating a year-round automotive destination," the city report said.
Other possible uses, according to the report, are an adult health care center, sound stages for film and television production, food venues and commercial and medical office space and storage facilities.
The negotiating agreement was "a baby step forward," Orosco's son Chris, told the City Council.
Mike Weaver of the Highway 68 Coalition had asked the council continue the matter because he did not get notification, chief of planning Chip Rerig told the council before the start of their two-hour plus discussion. Weaver submitted numerous questions, Rerig said.
The city agreed at an April meeting to allow Frank Flores 180 days to refine his idea and fulfill the requirements of the city's original request for qualifications, with his proposal to establish the Monterey Sports Management Co. to create 18 sports fields and a wellness and training center on the property.
More consideration
Flores asked the council to hold off taking action, saying there was lots of empty office space in Ryan Ranch and there was no demand for the proposed development.
The city asked the negotiating agreement include language that could allow "the coordination and/or development" of the 24-acre open space after more consideration of the Flores proposal, the report said.
The two requests for qualifications were the only ones the city received after sending 400 notices to real estate and developments companies.
The land from the Army post, which closed in 1994, was conveyed to the city in 2008 under the Base Redevelopment Plan which calls for economic development and job creation.
Monterey's piece of the pie "plays a key role in providing the middle income jobs necessary to support the housing currently under development as well as in the pipeline for development," according to the report.

A few years ago, I was covering some conservative legal or political conference where Ted Olson was scheduled to appear. At some point before his scheduled appearance, it was announced that he'd be unable to attend. It was chalked up to a scheduling conflict, but some wondered: had Olson withdrawn because of a fear that he'd be persona non grata? This was not long after he had filed the case that's now before the U.S. Supreme Court as Hollingsworth v. Perry, and some conservatives were unhappy with the former solicitor general's taking up the cause of marriage equality, viewing it as a betrayal.
Oh how times have changed. Now prominent Republicans are lining up to support the cause of marriage equality in the Supreme Court of the United States.
Yes, February 14 was almost two weeks ago. But on Thursday, a bunch of leading conservatives will send Justice Anthony M. Kennedy a valentine….

Happy Mail!
I've been following Jess's fabulous blog for a while now, and she regularly links up to WIP Wednesday, so I followed along with the whole process of creating this stunning quilt from start to finish—without ever once realizing that it was actually mine. Although I do think I begged her to be my partner at one point, because, well, who wouldn't want this amazing piece? Here it is, already hanging in its new home above my machine. Doesn't it look great? (Admittedly, at the moment it's just stuck up there with painter's tape. Anybody have a good, slightly more permanent way of hanging mini quilts?)
The curved piecing, the hand-quilting, the way all those prints work together so beautifully—wow. Every detail is just perfect, right down to the carefully chosen thread colors for the quilting. Believe me when I tell you that the pictures just don't do it justice.
And that's not all! Jess also made me this adorable matching pincushion. Would you believe that the only pincushion I owned (prior to this one) was a tomato that I bought at Joann? I know, how sad is that? And check out those adorable buttons! My daughter is already begging me to make her something—anything—with those buttons. I've already got several possibilities in mind!
Last but certainly not least—how flipping cute are these little pin toppers? Cupcakes! And an apple! And you guys, Jess made them herself! For real!
Thank you, thank you, thank you to Jessica for such a sweet package and amazing doll quilt. As beautiful as it is, it means that much more to me coming from one of my blog friends. It is the perfect addition to my sewing room. And be sure to check out Jess's blog, if you haven't already!
23 comments:
aahh! That's so funny. I watched the progress of this one too. I love that you received it! It's totally fantastic! Those pin toppers and so cute, I can't believe she made those. Great package, that's a good swap right there.ReplyDelete
That is so awesome! I enjoyed watching Jessica make this one, and I'm so glad to see her miniquilt got a good home! Lucky you, what an awesome swap!ReplyDelete
As for hanging minis, I added loops to the back of one I made last year, but I did it when I added the binding on. I'll be curious to see if anyone has any other recommendations, I've got a few miniquilts that need hanging, too!
Awwwwwwwwe I watched this process too...beautiful. congratulations on being the receiver Lee. They do have some very nice wooden clip type hangers out there....it looks great on your wall...and cute wire ones...go crazy!!!ReplyDelete
what a great quilt and package. I love those circles!ReplyDelete
This is how I hung a small quilt...ReplyDelete
Go all the way to the bottom.
Oh, you are SO LUCKY!ReplyDelete
I have been in love with this quilt since the first time Jess posted a picture of it.
For hanging mini (or even wall sized quilts), I use 3M Velcro Strips - use the picture hanging ones, not the poster hanging version (not strong enough). I just put a few (2-5, depending on the size) along the top of the quilt.
You can google it and order some, or find them at Target.
Eeeek! It's almost surreal seeing this quilt in its new home, it looks like it was meant to be there! I'm sorry, I totally spaced on adding loops to hang it on the wall, I had meant to all along, and I forgot :( I usually just use those long skinny pins and tack it to the wall, but the velcro idea sounds good too!ReplyDelete
To hang mini quilts I just use straight pins like nails and "nail" it on the wall. It doesn't hurt the quilt and when you take it down you can barely see the holes.
it looks perfect on your wall! What a beauty. I, too, just use straight pins if I make or receive a mini with no loops or sleeve on the back. I regulary change a quilt around at work and I use bulldog/butterfly paper clips on the corners and hang them from some picture hooks on the wall. (these are usually a bit larger quilts)ReplyDelete
This is great I love it how beautiful. So cute.ReplyDelete
I love that mini quilt. It looks great there above your machine. I have been stalking....ummm, following the DQS10 wishing I was in it.ReplyDelete
Lucky you! I love, love, love it! Those little pin toppers are adorable, too.ReplyDelete
My LQS has nails tapped into the wall at equal spacings. They just put safety pins in the back of their quilts and hang the pins on the nails. It looks really neat and they're easy to swap. Beautiful quilt xReplyDelete
Yay, exciting! I having been loving the progress of this quilt as well. She's so creative! :)ReplyDelete
I was watching the progress on this too! Love it. It looks great in your room.ReplyDelete
Lucky you! I loved watching Jessica's quilt take form. It looks great in your room.ReplyDelete
this is beautiful., you are so luckyReplyDelete
Those pin toppers are so stinking cute!ReplyDelete
Awesome package!ReplyDelete
I've hung many quilts, both large and small, using the 3M plastic velcro picture frame hangers. The plastic velcro has the 3M removable sticky stuff on both sides. I stick it to the wall, and even stick the other side right to the back of the quilt! They have been hanging for over a year - also the sticky stuff didn't damage the quilt- acid free and all.
I'm selfishly delighted to benefit from all the great advice on hanging small quilts here - thanks everyone!ReplyDelete
I've seen this quiltie come together too and it's so cool to see two bloggers I "know" on each side of a swap!
It's beautiful and you are so lucky!!
Lucky you! That quilt is beautiful & those pin toppers are just adorable!ReplyDelete
Oooh, lucky, lucky you! that is just gorgeous!ReplyDelete
You're so lucky, I watched the progress of this quilt in total envy of the recipient, its beautiful!ReplyDelete

Alessandro Ballan launched an attack Friday on the steepest climb of the Santos Tour Down Under, but the BMC Racing Team's top rider in the overall standings did not have the legs to follow the decisive move that went away shortly thereafter.
Unable To Follow
Ballan made his move on Checker Hill, 27 kilometers into the 124 km race. The former world champion said he felt good in the front group until six riders attacked not long after. "At that point, I felt the last days of effort in my legs and couldn't follow them," he said. "But I'm confident for tomorrow. It will be very tough and challenging." Cameron Meyer (Garmin-Cervelo) held on to win from the breakaway while Ballan finished 31st, 24 seconds later.
Looking Ahead
Saturday's Queen Stage of the race is where last year Cadel Evans showed off his world champion rainbow stripes in an attack around Willunga with fellow Australian and now-teammate Tim Roe. BMC Racing Team Assistant Directeur Sportif Michael Sayers said the team will work to get Ballan (15th overall, 28 seconds back) into the top 10. "Tomorrow's tactics will be dedicated to getting him in a position so he can follow on the climb and hopefully get him in a select group for the finish," Sayers said.

Tracy police officers responded to the school, 4256 Windsong Drive, at 2:08 p.m. Nov. 28, according to a press release from the Tracy Police Department on Monday, Dec. 3.
Jefferson Unified Superintendent Dana Eaton said Tuesday, Dec. 4, that state education code stipulates that any teacher accused of such actions must be immediately placed on paid administrative leave until the investigation is complete.
Tracy police Sgt. Luis Mejia would not release any details about the case or allegations Tuesday, but said that no arrest has been made.
To protect the integrity of the investigation, the employee's identity is not being released. Eaton also wouldn't comment on what grade the teacher taught, saying that police have asked to keep that information confidential during the investigation.
Eaton said officials at the Jefferson School District are taking the allegations "very seriously."
He issued a letter by email to parents on Friday, Nov. 30, explaining the situation and also offered advice about how to support children during a crisis.
"We sent it as an email attachment because we wanted to minimize it being seen by any of the students," he said.
Crisis counselors were available at the school Monday and will be available if needed in the immediate future.
Eaton said it's important to maintain a "sense of normalcy" at the school while the investigation is being conducted.
"The number one thing is that students need to feel safe on campus," he said. "When you have that, the continuity of the educational program can go on."

"Bankers' hours" takes on new meaning
Texas bank is a firm believer in video banking. But branches will stay
- |
- Written by Lisa Valentine
- |
- Comments: DISQUS_COMMENTS
The term "bankers' hours" comes from the traditional bank operating hours between 10:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m., long out of date. Today, the term is often used to describe an easy job with short working hours.
In contrast, at FirstCapital Bank of Texas, any hour of the day—or night—is bankers' hours. The bank recently launched ten interactive video teller kiosks that provide customers with live, remote teller service at four of the bank's seven branches located throughout western Texas and the Texas Panhandle 24 hours a day, five days a week. The $800 million-assets bank plans to install the kiosks, which it calls TellerConnect, in all seven branches as well as non-branch locations, says Brad Burgess, CEO. Several TellerConnect kiosks are drive-up units, and the rest are located within the branches—placed in 24-hour lobbies.
"We're looking at expanding our footprint by installing TellerConnect in locations outside our branches," says Burgess. For example, the bank is considering placing the units in area hospitals to provide 24-hour banking to hospital staff, who typically do not work 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
The TellerConnect units, supplied by NCR, combine video banking with remote transaction processing banking technology. This allows centrally located tellers—in Lubbock, Tex.—to take remote control of the kiosk while video chatting with customers. If customers want privacy, they can use on-screen messaging or speak via handset.
FirstCapital is one of the few banks that has rolled out 24-hour access from the get-go, planning to eventually extend TellerConnect availability from five to seven days a week. The majority of banks have taken a slower approach, says Addison Hoover, general manager of branch transformation marketing at NCR. "Most banks choose to extend hours—7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. is pretty typical—and then move to 24-hour service as they add more kiosks or ramp up their marketing," he explains.
TellerConnect can process about 95% of all traditional teller transactions. It does not accept coins and cannot issue cashier's checks. Although TellerConnect can, in theory, process a large volume of transactions, it's best suited for deposits of less than ten items. It's still less time-consuming to use a traditional teller for large volume transactions, explains Burgess.
Serving multi-shift clients
The bank became intrigued with interactive video technology offered by uGenius Technology, a Sandy, Utah, provider, more than three years ago. The Utah company was subsequently acquired by NCR, and the video technology is part of the suite of NCR ATM and branch transformation products and services endorsed by ABA. The bank made several onsite visits to banks in North Carolina and upstate New York that were using video teller technology.
The onsite visits cemented the bank's belief that 24-hour video banking would suit its customers, many of whom are shift workers. As primarily a commercial bank, FirstCapital serves several large corporate employers throughout Lubbock, Amarillo, and Midland, Tex., and employees of these corporations often visit branches to cash paychecks. Since several of these employers, including hospitals and those in the oil and refinery business, run 24-hour operations, it's inconvenient or downright difficult for employees to visit a branch during traditional business hours.
Onsite tellers are still available, but now those shift workers have access to tellers when it suits their work schedules. "Our objective was not to change the way our customers can access tellers, but to give them another option," Burgess says.
Centralized teller benefits
FirstCapital elected to locate TellerConnect tellers in Lubbock for several reasons. For one, Lubbock is centrally located between Amarillo and Midland. Secondly, with multiple colleges located in the Lubbock area, the bank has a strong pool of well-educated talent to draw from.
Staffing a 24-hour operation has been easier than anticipated, with Burgess noting that the overnight shift was the first one filled. Some of the TellerConnect tellers were transferred from other branches, but many are new hires.
TellerConnect tellers require a different skill set than a traditional teller, says Burgess. While skills to handle cash and checks are important for an in-branch teller, a TellerConnect teller never actually touches either. This gives them more time to pull up a client profile and converse with the customer rather than count bills and coins.
"Using video is a different service modality," points out NCR's Hoover. "An in-branch teller is evaluated on speed and drawer balancing. By migrating the physical handling of cash and checks to the machine, video tellers have more time to engage with customers and identify opportunities for sales and servicing. Customer service skills are more important."
Centralizing tellers in Lubbock also makes it easier for the bank to provide training and to monitor consistent customer service, says Burgess.
Since TellerConnect can handle the vast majority of transactions, the bank transitioned branch tellers to personal bankers. The personal bankers still perform teller transactions as needed, but they also are able to open accounts and take loan applications.
The benefit of staffing the branches with personal bankers rather than tellers is two-fold. Because the former tellers are freed from handling cash and checks as their main responsibility, they can focus on customer relationship-building and cross selling. In addition, customers have a one-stop shopping experience since a single employee can, for example, open a customer checking account and accept the initial deposit.
Customer acceptance good
Katie Boyd, senior vice-president, training and marketing manager at FirstCapital, estimates a 95% customer approval rating of TellerConnect. Customers who are used to communicating through Skype and FaceTime, in particular, naturally gravitate toward video banking.
For customers who may be unsure or apprehensive about using TellerConnect, the branch has trained personal bankers to assist. Often, a personal banker will walk customers from teller stations to kiosks, explaining that they may need to do banking after hours and offering to show customers how TellerConnect works. When the bank first introduced drive-through TellerConnect kiosks, they positioned personal bankers outside to answer questions.
"Customers tell us that TellerConnect is fun and that they enjoy it," says Boyd, noting that the bank's efforts at customer education have been highly successful.
The biggest challenge for the bank was actual construction to support TellerConnect installations. Depending on the layout of the existing drive-through and the location of the pneumatic tubes, the bank needed to reconfigure the layout, including ripping out and replacing concrete. For kiosks located inside the branch, the bank needed to retrofit existing lobbies so that the main branch area could be closed and locked after business hours, while still enabling access to TellerConnect kiosks.
As anticipated, customers are transitioning from using the bank during traditional business hours to using the kiosks after hours, with TellerConnect's highest usage occurring between 7:00 p.m. and 10:00 p.m.
Will interactive video replace traditional branches? At FirstCapital, TellerConnect will be in addition to, rather than a replacement for, brick and mortar, says Burgess. NCR's Hoover believes as well that branches won't disappear, but they will change in look and feel, possibly becoming smaller over time as they incorporate video tellers into their designs.
"The smartest banks will look at interactive video teller as an alternative way to service customers and give branch employees time to focus on connecting with customers, rather than handling checks or cash," says Hoover.
