Thank you for your awesome tutorials. I've been quilting for a couple of years, taken classes at quilting conventions, read books and so on. But as far as I'm concerned you have such fresh ideas/tip/quilting methods! (to a newbie anyway) I love your honesty too and sense of humor. Take a look at
Debbie Caffrey Turquoise Trail quilt, sewing all tiny pieces! I have a job...that was hard and it's now a UFO. Now with this tutorial I think I can make a star quilt, which is a good thing cause I love them. Keep posting and Thanks

This post is part of a weekly series of 'link-up' Posts which reflect on life's journey, old memories and family stories (see below for more info).
I noticed last week that the Girl Guide movement in the US were celebrating their 100th anniversary. Awesome. And then I remembered that I had IT.
I rummaged around my closet and found the hat. Then, a search was initiated for the shirt. Ransacked and spent, I emerged from the debris triumphant.
What next transpired gave me one of the best giggles I've had for some months.
For some unknown reason (all the more insane given the fact that I have not held the schoolgirl curves which I had at the age of 15 for some decades) I decided to try it on. Let's just say that it was more than a little snug.
I was caught in the act by my 5 year old son who immediately piped up, "Mom! Were you in the Army?!!" His reason for thinking thus was due, in no small part, to the fact that I was, at the moment he entered the room, taking a photograph of myself mid-'DibDibDob' salute. Em. Barrassing…..
I decided to embrace the situation and a mini photoshoot followed, featuring me and my over-stretched buttons, mothballed hat, and small child, in various positions, attempting to find the best angle to display my impressive arm full of badges.
I did find myself thinking that this ridiculous display of stupidity may have had something to do with the reason I never actually made it to Queen's Guide. That, and the fact that no sixteen year old girl in the mid 80s could possibly 'pull' a member of Duran Duran wearing a semi-military uniform and comfy shoes.
I promised, once upon a day, that I would do my best, do my duty to God and to the Queen, help other people and keep the Girl Guide Law. (I haven't even had to Google that – it's indelibly etched on my brain). I have tried to do my best in many things. I have failed miserably with God and her Majestical Majesty, and I can't even remember what the Girl Guide Law is. But I did keep Old Blue, and its memories are a valued part of my family stories to pass on to the next generation.
Just for good measure, here's my Brownie pic. I think I peaked at the age of 8, as Sixer of the Pixies. Nuff said.
NOW, what are your memories of the Girl Guide movement? Post an entry to your own Blog and use the Linky tool (link below) to enter your memories into the fray. If you like, just leave a comment and join in that way, but do join in.
If you feel sexy, grab the code too (just follow the link) and post it into your Blog entry – that way, everyone can pay it forward as they say – it's good to share.
Please visit the other blogs on the list and leave a comment or two – it makes everyone's day!

The Wolves will host the first two games of the West Division Semifinal at the Allstate Arena with dates, times and opponent still to be determined; despite Chicago's home loss to Texas on Sunday, the team has notched a 27-8-0-3 record on home ice overall this season, outscoring opponents, 132-92, along the way.
--- Matt Anderson: Posted two goals and four points in four games this week, which includes his 12th multiple-point outing of the season on Saturday ... Has set career-highs in every offensive category this season, which includes dishing out 27 assists, which ranks third on the team ... Ranks fifth on the team with 15 goals and sixth with 42 points in 59 games ... Paces team forwards and shares 20th in the AHL with a +22 plus/minus rating
--- Jason Krog: Dished four assists in four games this week and has collected seven assists and eight points in his last eight contests ... Ranks first on the Wolves and second in the AHL with 60 assists and paces the team and shares fourth in the league with 74 points in 72 matchups this year ... Ranks second among team forwards and third overall on the squad with a +21 plus/minus rating
--- Joey Crabb: Held scoreless in his last three games after registering six points (2G, 4A) during a five-game point-streak ... Ranks second on the team with a career-high 23 goals and fifth with 25 assists - one shy of matching a career high ... Shares third on the team with a career-best 48 points in 73 games overall this season
--- Spencer Machacek: Tallied two goals in four games this week and has dished out four points (2G, 2A) in his last six outings ... Ranks third on the team with 19 goals and fourth with a career-high 26 assists in 72 games this season ... Holds fifth overall on the team with 45 points and is three points shy of matching his total in 77 games last season
--- Chicago (46-21-1-6) ranks third in the AHL with 99 points and shares third in the league with 46 wins through 74 games; the Wolves 46 victories are the fourth most in franchise history while their 99 points share fourth through 74 games, trailing the 1998 and 2000 Turner Cup Champion and 2008 Calder Cup Champion teams.
--- With six games remaining in their regular season, the Wolves hold a six-point cushion over Texas for the West Division lead.
--- Goaltender Drew MacIntyre's 33-save shutout performance against Rockford on Saturday was Chicago's 84th all-time shutout and the first against the IceHogs in 37 all-time matchups.
--- The Wolves have killed off 18 of their opponents last 20 power-play attempts, which includes being perfect on the penalty kill in their last two outings; Chicago ranks seventh in the league with an 84.8 efficiency rating on the penalty kill (240 of 283).
--- Chicago scored twice on five power-play attempts on Saturday, the first time in 22 games the team has bagged multiple man-advantage markers in a game; the Wolves rank 14th in the AHL with an 17.7 efficiency rating on the power-play (53 of 300).
--- The Wolves will embark on a three-game swing through Texas this week, beginning when they take on the Houston Aeros on Wednesday; Chicago has posted a 19-13-1-3 mark away from home this season, which includes earning points in four of its last five road tilts (3-1-0-1).
--- Chicago Head Coach DON LEVER has amassed 45 wins behind the Wolves bench this season and is one win away from setting a new career-high for wins in a regular-season; the 57-year-old notched 45 wins as head coach of the Rochester Americans during the 1990-91 season - a team he led to the Calder Cup Finals.

It's the sick season and colds are rampant right now. Everyone is asking: what is the "quick fix" to get rid of a cold? Unfortunately, when it comes to a cold…nothing is quick.
The common cold starts with a runny nose then a scratchy throat followed by a cough. Your child may tell you they just feel "yucky".
Don't be alarmed if your child's mucous turns from clear to colored. A green runny nose does not mean a bacterial infection, so need to ask your doctor for an antibiotic…they do not help the common cold and are not needed.
The only proven treatment for a cold is a tincture of time and treating your child's symptoms will help them feel better, sooner.
Here's what I recommend to my patients:
-For a runny and stuffy nose…start with a hot shower to loosen up the secretions.
-You can also try nasal suctioning with a bulb syringe or a nasal aspirator for young children.
-For older children, I encourage saline rinses with an irrigation system like a Neti pot. Many of my patients swear by it.
At night, place a cool mist humidifier in your child's room to add some moisture to the dry heat in the house.
You can expect your child's cold to last about 7 to 10 days. Don't forget to tell your kids to cover their nose when they sneeze and wash their hands to stop the germs from spreading to everyone in the family.
I'm Dr. Sue with The Kid's Doctor helping parent take charge.

A former Milwaukee County Sheriff's sergeant who drugged, molested and filmed young girls during camping trips to a trailer park in Campbellsport was sentenced Friday to 40 years in federal prison for producing child pornography.
Phillip Wentzel, 41, of West Allis must serve another 10 years of supervision if he makes it to the end of his prison term.
Wentzel, who also once served as spokesman for the sheriff's office, pleaded guilty in September to six counts of child pornography production, and to a seventh count this week, each involving different victims. He was charged in May. »Read Full Blog Post
MHS fitness center gains approval
Plans for a first floor fitness center at Mukwonago High School move forward after gaining unanimous approval from the Mukwonago Area School District Board of Education on Monday night.
Construction on the fitness center will start after the last day of school in June, in order to be completed for the beginning of the 2013-14 school year.
The project will be a tremendous boost to the new MHS fitness-based curriculum where almost 500 students are currently enrolled, MHS physical education teacher Jim Essman said. »Read Full Blog Post
Security bumped up at three MASD schools
Following Friday's tragic events in Newtown, Conn., Mukwonago Area School District hired personnel to monitor entrances at two elementary schools this week, with a third locked down during the school day. Over Christmas break work will begin to install buzzer systems at the three schools to increase security within the buildings.
Section and Prairie View Elementary, along with Eagleville Charter School do not have clear views to the front entrances from the main office. At other MASD buildings, guests are funneled into or past the main office or a staff member monitoring the entrance. Personnel to monitor entrances at Section and Prairie View are in place this week, while Eagleville will be locked during the school day. Parents and guests need to knock or call to gain entrance to the charter school, according to MASD Superintendent Paul Strobel.
The district will continue to look at improving security in all buildings throughout the district. Watch the Mukwonago Chief for a complete story on MASD school security.
Poor records hurt jobs agency
Madison - Missing safeguards, staff turnover and shoddy bookkeeping within the state's flagship jobs agency led to delinquent loans going uncollected, financial deals being misstated or unrecorded, and credit card and other transactions getting no checks for fraud or errors, outside auditors have found.
Monday's report from auditing firm Schenck SC represented the first all-inclusive financial statements to come before board members of the Wisconsin Economic Development Corp. in the agency's nearly 18 months of existence. The scrutiny of the WEDC and its $85 million budget on Monday also included a Senate committee hearing on how the agency is run and a meeting of the WEDC board's audit committee ahead of a meeting of the full agency board on Tuesday.
The sobering Schenck report outlined a series of "material weaknesses" and "significant deficiencies" that left the quasi-public jobs agency and its tens of millions of dollars in taxpayer-funded subsidies without consolidated financial statements, making the WEDC vulnerable to everything from simple mistakes and mismanagement to embezzlement. The statements are essential tools for evaluating an organization's financial position and for shaping its strategy. »Read Full Article
Milwaukee named a 'Bird City'
Milwaukee has been named a "Bird City."
The Bird City Wisconsin project, modeled on the "Tree City USA" program, recognizes efforts to improve bird habitat, manage woodlands, limit hazards and educate citizens about birds.
Organizers say Milwaukee was recently named along with cities of Marinette and Algoma, the village of Menomonee Falls and the towns of Spring Green and Three Lakes. »Read Full Article
Judge rules against night deer hunt
Wisconsin's Chippewa bands will not be allowed to hunt deer at night - at least not for the remainder of this season, a federal judge in Madison ruled Monday.
The decision by U.S. District Judge Barbara Crabb finds that proper procedures were not followed by tribal leaders when they authorized the hunt without state agreement.
In the ruling, Crabb reached back to her 1987 decision that allows the state to regulate off-reservation treaty rights if the regulation is both necessary to public safety and does not discriminate against the tribe. A few years later, Crabb ruled that the Chippewa and the state could, by mutual agreement, modify parts of the original agreement to allow for changing circumstances. »Read Full Article
Home sales up nearly 25% in November, prices slip 2.3%
Home sales in Wisconsin stayed on a brisk pace in November by jumping almost 25%, but the median sale price broke from a trend and retreated 2.3%.
Monthly sales of existing homes now have risen for almost a year and a half, and are up 21.1% so far in 2012, statistics released Monday by the Wisconsin Realtors Association show.
"There's quite a bit of momentum built up," said David Clark, a Marquette University economics professor who analyzed the sales and price data for the Realtors organization. "I think the one thing that could slow the trend is if we don't start seeing a bit stronger job growth." »Read Full Article
Milwaukee County's lobbying list is somewhat vague
Milwaukee County supervisors put on a schmooze Monday for the local state legislative delegation, serving up bagels and coffee along with the County Board's state government wish list.
It was in preparation for the county's $276,000 lobbying operation for 2013 - the board's exclusive province, according to a measure supervisors muscled through last month.
Don't tell that to County Executive Chris Abele. He's stepping up his own state lobbying efforts, including meetings Tuesday in Madison with Rep.

Campbellsport teen gets probation after arrow accident
Fond du Lac - A Campbellsport teen convicted of shooting an arrow that pierced a 7-year-old girl in the back was sentenced Monday to three years' probation.
Casey H. Bennett, 17, pleaded no contest to a felony count of injury by negligent use of a weapon and a misdemeanor count of resisting an officer.
Bennett told authorities he was shooting at squirrels in May when a stray arrow hit Aryanna Schneeberg in the back. Prosecutors said he initially denied shooting the arrow, and that he didn't come forward because he was scared.
Physicians said the girl was lucky to be alive after the arrow sliced through her spleen, stomach, diaphragm and lung before stopping at her liver.
Walker sets election dates for Farrow seat
Madison - Gov. Scott Walker has called a Feb. 19 primary and an April 2 general election to fill a Waukesha County Assembly seat vacated by Rep. Paul Farrow (R-Pewaukee).
Farrow won a special election this month to the 33rd state Senate district, which opened after Rich Zipperer left his seat to become Gov. Scott Walker's deputy chief of staff. As a result, Farrow left his 98th Assembly district seat open.
The Republican candidates running for the Assembly seat include Jeanne Tarantino, the former chief of staff to Lt. Gov. Rebecca Kleefisch; Adam Neylon, owner of a commercial window cleaning business and a former legislative and congressional aide; Todd Greenwald, a construction project manager; and Matt Morzy, a student seeking his master's degree in business administration from Marquette University.
"The dates are chosen according to statute and will coincide with guidelines for general spring elections and will therefore also reduce the cost to taxpayers," Walker said in a statement.
Protesters, Palermo's exchange words as strike continues
Striking Palermo's workers and their supporters held a holiday-themed protest Monday outside the frozen-pizza manufacturing plant, chanting "Deck the halls with living wages" and trying to portray Palermo's president and CEO Giacomo Fallucca as the Grinch.
They also tried to deliver Christmas cards made by the striking workers' children to Fallucca, but police stopped them from stepping onto the property.
Inside the pizza-making plant, Chris Dresselhuys, the director of marketing, called the protest "an exploitation of the season, unfortunate and in bad taste." »Read Full Article

Sun Prairie man arrested in beating of woman driving car
An 18-year-old Dane County man was arrested on allegations of battery and other charges Sunday after striking a woman as she drove a car - so hard that she lost consciousness and drifted into oncoming traffic.
The Sun Prairie man was booked into the Dane County Jail on allegations of substantial battery, disorderly conduct, second-degree reckless endangerment and intimidating a victim.
The Dane County Sheriff's Department said it responded to a report of a "rolling domestic" at county Highway N and Happy Valley Road in the Town of Bristol around 3 p.m. Sunday.
It said the man struck the 18-year-old driver in the face, then grabbed the steering wheel and put the vehicle into neutral to bring the car back under control. When the car slowed down, it said, the victim tried to escape, but the man grabbed her by her hair and threw her back into the car.
Darling seeks to end MPS residency rule
State Sen. Alberta Darling (R-River Hills) says that the rule requiring Milwaukee Public Schools employees to live in the city is outdated and that she aims to introduce legislation that will abolish the requirement.
"Only one school (district) in the state limits the pool of teachers it can hire from and that's the Milwaukee Public School District," Darling said in a statement circulated Monday. "They desperately need teachers there, so why are they limiting potential candidates?"
Darling's critique comes less than a week after a Milwaukee School Board committee couldn't decide whether to give new hires in MPS more time to abide by the district's residency rule, a proposal aimed at helping the district attract a wider pool of candidates to fill hundreds of expected teaching vacancies next year. »Read Full Blog Post
Town of Hartford blaze causes $100,000 in damage
An early morning blaze destroyed a metal outbuilding in the Town of Hartford on Monday causing more than $100,000 in damage, the Washington County Sheriff's Office said Monday.
The building, at 5950 Clover Road, was fully engulfed when the owner reported it to authorities around 1:15 a.m.
A sheriff's deputy evacuated one animal from the building, and the Lawrence Fire Department extinguished the fire, with assistance from several other departments.
The fire originated in a shop area that included a wood-burning stove, which had been tended almost two hours earlier, the Sheriff's Office said.
3 cops want trials separate from 4th in cavity search case
Lawyers for three Milwaukee police officers charged with conducting illegal body searches said Monday they will ask to have their clients tried separately from a fourth officer and co-defendant who faces the most numerous and serious charges.
Attorneys told Milwaukee County Circuit Judge Jeffrey Wagner at a status hearing Monday that they had recently received voluminous, almost overwhelming materials from the prosecution as part of the discovery process, and would need longer than a previously set date of Jan. 11 to prepare and file all motions in the case. The discovery materials include dozens of hours of videotaped interviews that must be watched and transcribed, and thousands of pages of other records.
But they did say they plan a motion to sever the prosecution of Jeffrey Dollhopf, Brian Kozelek and Jacob Knight from that of Michael Vagnini. District Attorney John Chisholm said his office was still considering whether or not to oppose the motion. »Read Full Blog Post

Winter storm watch issued for Great Lakes region
A significant winter storm is expected for the Great Lakes region on Wednesday night into Thursday, possibly dropping several inches of snow on parts of southeastern and south-central Wisconsin, the National Weather Service said Monday.
The service issued a winter storm watch for the region based on a strengthening low-pressure system forming in Oklahoma on Wednesday and then moving across Illinois Thursday before reaching Michigan Thursday evening.
The watch means there is potential for significant snow, sleet or ice accumulations. It's not yet clear where the heaviest snowfalls are expected because the storm is still a few days out, the weather service said. But early indications are that 6 or more inches could fall in southern Wisconsin from about Monroe to Madison and Fond du Lac if the low tracks to the southern part of the state. A more northern track will leave the Milwaukee area with more rain than snow.

The 70-year-old man killed in a fatal fire in Washington County on Saturday has been identified as Richard Ralph Winter of West Bend.
Winter died in an early morning blaze that destroyed the Dick's Club 144 tavern in the Town of Farmington. Firefighters rescued a 74-year-old woman from the blaze.

U.S. Senator Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) announced that his office will launch its fifth "Commonsense Connections" Week beginning Monday, May 20.
Representatives from Senator Manchin's office will make more than 95 stops across West Virginia – traveling to all 55 counties – to meet with constituents, hear their commonsense priorities and concerns, and gather their feedback.
Manchin's office will be in Boone County on Monday, May 20, from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at the Racine Senior Center at 446 John Slack Circle in Racine.
"Bringing the government directly to our citizens and knowing their concerns and ideas have always been top priorities for me as a former governor and now as U.S. Senator," Senator Manchin said. "West Virginians should have access to assistance and that is what 'Commonsense Connections' is all about – my staff travels to every corner of the state, to every county, and meets with West Virginians to hear about their personal challenges and suggestions for Washington."
Senator Manchin launched his first-ever "Commonsense Connections" Week in February 2011, when representatives from his office traveled to all 55 counties in the state. This is the fifth time the staff has crisscrossed the state for "Commonsense Connections."

Editor's note: The News Bulletin will run "Angler Education with Ernie Martin," a series with the Crestview High School Outdoor Education teacher, beginning with Wednesday's edition. Martin will offer tips on where to catch fish in the six-part series.
CRESTVIEW — This year's Crestview Parks and Recreation Department fishing camp at Twin Hills Park featured a twist.
There was no new instructor to replace veteran teacher Ernie Martin, and youngsters hooking a blue gill or bass wore smiles as wide as ever.
However, this year's camp ran 6-8 p.m., as opposed to the morning slot it had occupied for more than five years.
Evening fishing
"Talking to some of the parents, they don't have summers off like some of us educators," Martin said. "That morning-fishing deal was tough on a lot of them.
"I think the kids here are enjoying it. They've been getting up early going to school every day, so why not a change of plans? If everybody likes it this year, then we may do it again next year at the same time."
The evening camp allowed parents to participate, too, Martin said.
"The dads come out (to be with their children) and it's a bonding time," he said. "Until I was 13 years old, when my father passed away, our bonding time was out on the lake fishing. It was a wonderful experience, and I'll have the memories for the rest of my life."
Greg Hug joined his son Braden.
"I wanted to spend time with the boy," he said. "Having it in the evening is convenient. Normally, time is a little tight so we don't get out as much as we want."
Safety and fun
Tuesday, the camp kicked off when Jaynie Darby caught the first fish.
In the first hour, the children hooked more turtles than fish, but as the sun sank behind trees, fish started to bite and the happy anglers started reeling them in.
Martin said Twin Hills Park's ponds hold several species of fish ranging from blue gill and bass to some carp. The camp taught techniques for catching different kinds of fish.
The most important things stressed were safety and having fun, he said.
"Once the kids start catching the blue gill and learn how to take them off the hook, I'll let them do more of it for themselves," Martin said. "We teach them hook safety, how to bait a hook, the types of species we catch. It's just general pond fishing 101 and just coming out here and having some fun."
Appreciating the outdoors
The campers received a surprise Tuesday, when Jim Martino from Bass Pro Shops in Destin arrived with T-shirts for all of them.
Bass Pro Shops was happy to provide the gifts to the campers, Martin said.
"We have to get the kids involved in good things like fishing and enjoying the outdoors and learning the importance of what little nature we seem to have left," he said. "They seem to have a lot more electronic babysitter today than we did.
"We need the kids outdoors. We need the next generation as fired up about the outdoors as we are."

High fidelity PCR demands a low rate of nucleotide misincorporation (mismatch). Sequence integrity is particularly important in applications involving gene expression, low-copy-number templates, long templates, cDNA library construction, SNP analysis, and site-directed mutagenesis.
The intrinsic properties of polymerases, such as extension rates and 3'-5' exonuclease (proofreading) activity directly influence fidelity. In practice, a mixture of high yield but low fidelity polymerases (i.e. Taq), with high fidelity polymerases (i.e. pfu, Vent) can enhance overall amplification performance. External factors like template sequence, buffer composition, and reaction conditions are also important for high fidelity PCR.
Our high performance enzyme mixes and kits are optimized for a variety of high fidelity PCR applications.

Miller: If you believeWritten by Michael Miller | Editor in Chief Emeritus | email@example.com
Josh Whitney of the band The Eight Fifteens is quick to point out that his track "If You Believe" was not written as a holiday song. It was, he said, written during a time of marital communication problems as a plea for peace.
But when I heard the song for the first time, while looking for tunes for last summer's Red Cross benefit CD, I not only wanted to include it in the 2013 holiday collection, I knew it should be the title track.
As we unveil "Holiday Wishes 3: If You Believe" this week at The Town Center at Levis Commons, I am confident in the choice. If any sentiment encapsulates the spirit of Christmas, it's "If you believe." Because the season is meaningless unless you believe in something. If you believe in the birth of Jesus. If you believe in Santa Claus. If you believe in family and the precious gift of life. None of it is worth the melted snow off Frosty's back without belief.
The Eight Fifteens were gracious enough to remaster the track with some subtle holiday bells, but even without them, the song sets a tone for this year's CD. We are offering a two-CD set with 45 songs by local musicians for $10. Every cent of the sales benefits the local chapter of Make-A-Wish Foundation. Not only are you getting more than two-and-a-half hours of timeless holiday music, you are helping a family make things better for their sick child.
Do you believe in that?
Easier but harder
This is the third year for this series, and while producing the CD has become easier, compiling the music is getting more difficult — for all the right reasons. More than 80 local artists submitted tracks for this year's project. The bad news is that it was impossible to include them all. The good news is that we have a major head start on the 2014 CD.
The music is made by local talent, from familiar names such as Mannheim Steamroller, Sanctus Real, Pat Dailey, Kerry Patrick Clark, Mike "Mad Dog" Adams, Ramona Collins, Nine Lives and Kyle White to new contributors like Ear Candy, Kelly Broadway, Estar Cohen Project, Shawn Highsmith, Brad McNett and TJ Thomas.
There are remarkable spoken-word tracks by the ethereal Suzanne Carroll, K100 mainstay Harvey Steele, WNWO newsman Jim Blue and Jennifer Rockwood, the first lady of Toledo theater. The crown jewel of this year's spoken-word collection is a 12-minute dramatic version of "A Christmas Carol," which, despite my clumsy editing efforts, conveys the heart and soul of the Charles Dickens classic. The all-star cast includes WSPD's Fred LeFebvre as Scrooge (a casting masterstroke that garnered a masterful performance), Jerry Anderson as the ghost of Jacob Marley and Rick Woodell and Mary Beth Zolik of The River as Ghosts of Christmas Present and Past. Toledo Free Press Star contributors and WSPD "Eye on Your Weekend" panelists Jeff McGinnis and Jim Beard provide cameos and I am proud that my sons, Evan, 7, and Sean, 5, play the roles of the boy sent for the turkey and Tiny Tim. The entire production is held together by nuanced narration by actor/director Matthew Gretzinger.
Music producer/genius Mighty Wyte and I spent a five-hour session adding sound effects and music; it amazes me that my amateur idea could become reality in the hands of so many dedicated professionals.
Matching favorites
I freely admit that while the project exists to serve the charity, I get some personal satisfaction by matching some
of my favorite songs with some of my favorite artists. I specifically requested three songs this year and the results are far better than I could have imagined. White recorded The Pretenders' "2000 Miles" with vulnerability and raw longing. Collins lent her talents to "What Are You Doing New Year's Eve?" and my guess is there will be a lot of October babies who owe their conception to the sensuality and aching desire her voice embeds in the track. Joel Zmuda brought a new take to one my old favorites, Bobby Darrin's "A Christmas Auld Lang Syne," and nailed every syllable of the lyrics' humility and gratitude.
I would like to tell you the story behind every track, but two in particular merit your attention. Toledo Free Press Design Editor James A. Molnar adds to his resumé as a print, blog, TV and radio personality with an original song, "December Star." When Molnar told me he was writing and recording a track with his friend Luke D. Rosen, a song about the passing of his mom, Paula Molnar Fels, I was a bit nervous; how would I tell a friend and co-worker if his song wasn't up to standards?
It was an unnecessary worry.
"December Star" is a beautiful, emotional tribute that will take its place alongside the classics for those fortunate enough to hear it. Thank you, James.
Another remarkable track, which like "If You Believe" was not conceived as a holiday song, is Jeff Stewart's "Sleepyhead." The intimate, heartbreaking track encompasses just two people, a long, cold night and snowy roads; it contains a hook that could be a line from a novel: "She writes 'I am fragile' with the refrigerator magnets/There's many more words to choose from but she picks this and its fragments." Stewart reveals more about the inner workings of his characters in four minutes than many films do in two hours. If Stewart's new CD maintains the quality of "Sleepyhead" and his Red Cross track, "Little One," he will deliver a masterpiece.
Many champions
As always, there were many champions who helped make this project a reality. In addition to literally hundreds of artists, I owe gratitude to Christopher Stoll of Audioflare Recording Studio in Holland, who locked himself away for days to record nearly half of the CD's tracks; Wyte, who engineers the disc and this year contributes a cinematic, booming re-imagining of "Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy" that will rattle your car windows; attorney Larry Meyer, who researches the publishing rights of each cover song to make sure the proper writers get paid; and Casey Pogan, who has worked tirelessly to give the CD a distribution home at The Town Center of Levis Commons, specifically Blue Pacific Grill, Build It!, C Sterling Jewelers, Flying Joe, Lily's, Poco Piatti, Salvatore Capelli Hair Spa & Beauty Lounge, Second Sole, Vivian Kate, Yankee Candle and The Town Center Management Office.
If, like me, you are blessed with healthy children, you understand another of my motivations for this project — not ever taking that health for granted, and offering work and contribution as a way of displaying that gratitude and eternal thanks.
There are more people to thank than I have space for, but every one of you should know in your heart that I believe in you and that your efforts will bring hope and belief to many, many local families. Thanks to you, many people will believe, like I believe, in the spirit and love of the season.
I believe. Do you?

Rated 3 out of 5Â by Rochelle cool Bohemian belt I like this belt a lot, so I purchased 3. However, I'm not too found of how it puckers. Even if I wear it low on my hips, I have to adjust the belt, pulling it down, so that it doesn't pucker. It's really pretty, more so than what the pix reveals. This is a great Bohemian piece and looks great with a lot of outfits. I don't have the belt with the large medallions so it doesn't look good worn in the front. 6.12.2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by supersmooth whish you could chose the color So I decided to take the risk and ordered the Obi Belt. I really did not care what color I would receive, I was only hoping and expecting to get a color which is easy to combine. Unfortunately I got a green one, and not a nice dark green one, but more of a neon, not very pretty grass green. I have no idea what color to wear with this belt and since I live in Europe and already paid customs, I probably will give this to a friend who is really, REALLY into green. I would only recommend buying this belt if you don´t live overseas and have the possibility to easily return or exchange it. Maybe, if this belt goes on sale, I will try my luck again. :) 4.29.2013
Rated 1 out of 5Â by shaileigh fail I was very excited about this purchase, as it looks so beautiful in the pictures! However, when i finally got it in the mail, it had stains on it and looked old. not in the cool vintage way, in the dirty mistreated kind of way. This is the third thing in a row that I'm returning from freepeople and am loosing faith in the quality of their merchandise. 4.18.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by FPkeira <3333333 One of my all time favorite purchases. I really recommend picking up this one in store to avoid color disappointment. Definitely more of a low waist/hip belt to be worn with pants & shorts than a natural waist belt. 4.12.2013
Rated 3 out of 5Â by arrabella95 Assorted colours! I read other reviews but being optimistic ordered hoping I would be the lucky recipient of a decently coloured belt. Oh well! It was not to be! Mine is a peculiar mix of neon and nylon! 4.6.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by seexybuterflyart great belt i ordered two of these belts praying i didnt get the one w the gold and i did not, sometimes you have to ignore w others say and get what draws you , and this is TOTALLY my style im bohemian an artist, and i design cloths very simular to free people and i just had to have this blet dont hesitate to buy its awesome 3.23.2013
Rated 1 out of 5Â by newlook how can you ship this? The belt is of course very beautiful as you can see in the photos: the coins, the colours, the beads, just awesome. And i know that each belt is different. But the one i received, the black cloth at the end of the belt was coming apart at the seams and was not even properly aligned with the shape of the belt. I could have easily got my sewing kit out and fixed this, but i returned it on principle... how can FP charge so much and then actually SHIP an item that so obviously needs fixing? And what is that saying about about their opinion of their customers? We have to put up with this because......? It cost me US$12 just to ship it back all the way from Hong Kong. Very disappointed since FP is my absolutely favourite brand. Would be nice if they cared about their customers as much as they say they do. 3.14.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by p1gp3n luck of the draw when i saw these in the store along with the feliz obi belts, i liked the other ones more. i've also seen ones with stains on the belt from the coins. but i guess i got lucky, as the one i received in the mail turned out to be the one i liked the most out of all the ones in store, pix online and from fp me. so the moral of the story here is either you check them out at a store to pick the one you want, or order multiples online so you get to pick. as for fit, i'm not petite and this fits just fine as a hip belt, so it could be long for others. i also don't find that it jingles. 3.12.2013

Things I would have changed:Trigger guard rear screw was broken when I received the rifle. Beef up the trigger guard. Bi-pod is flimsy and has no way to lock open.
What others should know:Overall, an impressive Air Soft rifle for the price. Buy extra ammo, you'll not want to stop shooting once you start. My rifle did not come with the front grip handle shown in the picture.

Todd Writes Intro to Book that Showcases Many McFarlane Figures
Friday, March 05, 2004
McFarlane Toys is well-known for producing some of the most realistic and authentic horror action figures in the collectibles industry. Many of them are highlighted in a book from Tomart's released in late 2003, Tomart's Price Guide to Horror Movie Collectibles.
It all started in October 1998 with the launch of Movie Maniacs Series 1. That line included such horror greats as Leatherface from The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Eve from Species II, Freddy Krueger from A Nightmare on Elm Street, Patrick from Species II and Jason Voorhess from Friday the 13th. Since then, McFarlane Toys has released six Movie Maniacs lines (Series 7 will be released in October), two McFarlane's Monsters series (Series 3 coming this summer), and two Clive Barker's Tortured Souls series (a third series of Barker figures due out in August). These lines, plus many others including Tim Burton's Sleepy Hollow, McFarlane's Monsters playsets and our Alien-Predator franchise have kept McFarlane on top of the heap for the horror genre collector for many years.
"McFarlane Toys can easily be pegged as the reason horror movie collectibles are so popular today," said Nathan Hanneman, Tomart's writer and the book's co-author. "The introduction of Movie Maniacs grouped so many of the greatest modern horror movie icons in a single collector line. Such a massive crowd of genre characters haven't successfully been merchandised together since the Universal Monsters of the 1930s and '40s."
When Tomart's was finalizing the book, they invited McFarlane Toys founder and CEO Todd McFarlane to write the book's introduction. He is by joined Rob Zombie, rocker and creator of House of 1,000 Corpses, who penned the foreword; and Doug Murray and Forrest Ackerman, two of the principals involved with the long-running Famous Monsters of Filmland magazine, who wrote the epilogue.
"Todd was the natural choice for writing the introduction for the book, as he helped introduce so many new fans to the great world of horror movie collectibles," Hanneman said.
Tomart's Price Guide to Horror Movie Collectibles is 160 pages of full (blood-dripping) color that covers the merchandising of most every major studio (and low-budget) feature horror film. It's available on www.tomart.com and at booksellers everywhere for $29.95. But, as is often the case, the Spawn.com Prize Patrol has secured a few for our fans, compliments of Tomart's.
The contest runs from today through noon MST on Thursday, March 11, 2004. First prize will be an autographed copy of the book, along with three Todd McFarlane's Monsters Playsets. Second prize will be an autographed copy of the book along with two Movie Maniacs figures chosen by McFarlane Toys. Third prize is an autographed copy of the book. Go to http://www.spawn.com/info/contests.aspx for all the rules and to enter the contest. Winners will be announced here on Friday, March 12.
Todd will also be the subject of an interview conducted for Monsterama, which is occurring this week at the spawn.com headquarters. The TV crew will spend time filming many current and classic McFarlane figures, along with interviewing Todd and much more. The show is being produced for American Movie Classics' new channel, the Monster's Channel on the HDVOOM Network, and spotlights the great monsters of movie history, and the technical wizards and creators who brought them to the screen. Monsterama also places heavy emphasis on the collectible toys and models that have been spun off from those movies. Look for more information about this show and Todd's interview in the coming weeks.

Art vs. Commerce: The warring forces that will shape 'Episode VII'Written by Jeff McGinnis | | email@example.com
I've been waiting for you, Art. We meet at last. The circle is now complete. When the last "Star Wars" was made, I was but the learner. Now I am the master.
Only the master of evil, Commerce. As you fight to force the new "Star Wars" films into a set date, you run the risk that the films will not be a worthy follow-up to the original films' legacy — all in the name of the almighty dollar.
A summer 2015 release date must be achieved! The grand battle plan requires it. The Emperor has foreseen a franchise filled with movies that will dominate the box office until 2020 and beyond. The cosmos has been set in motion. Nothing must delay the inevitable.
At what cost?
At any cost, old one.
Your arrogance will be your undoing, Commerce. Fans waited for 16 years to see more films after the original trilogy. "Star Wars" fanatics are some of the most passionate and patient in the universe. They would happily wait another year or longer for a final product that lived up to the legacy of the franchise. Search your feelings; you know this to be true.
You underestimate the power of the dark side. Fans would also pay to see a weak film as long as the name "Star Wars" is attached to it. As much as the fanatics complain about the prequel trilogy, they still saw it. Most of them saw it multiple times. They will support most anything with a Skywalker in it.
But for how long, my former apprentice? While the prequels did very well, the luster of "Star Wars" has been dimmed for a while now. There are now as many films in the franchise that are despised as ones that are beloved. If this trend is not reversed, will pessimism and contempt dominate even further? What has been keeping fans interested in the new films? A desire to see the universe they love resume its former glory under new guidance. But now word has come out of how that new guidance may be in turmoil.
You are blowing the screenwriter shift out of proportion, old man. New writers are brought onto projects all the time. And the new scribes are director J.J. Abrams himself and Lawrence Kasdan — whose "Star Wars" work is beloved. Why do you maintain your pessimism about this change? It's exactly what you would want.
No, I want the story to be good. Changing writers barely a year and a half before the film must be released — "at all costs," your words — does not fill one with confidence. And the shift just reinforces the idea that your masters are plowing ahead with a story that isn't ready. When those in the production — including Kathleen Kennedy herself — are reportedly asking to delay the film until 2016, are we to dismiss their concerns?
Cowardly fools. They lack the Emperor's vision.
A vision that requires the film be shoehorned into a season that is already packed with major franchises? Summer 2015 has a slew of movies scheduled like "Batman vs. Superman," the final "Hunger Games," "Jurassic World," "Terminator 5," a new James Bond and a sequel to "The Avengers" — which your masters are also behind. Why is it necessary to force "Episode VII" out in time to join this glut of blockbusters? Is it not better to give the film the chance to stand on its own?
This is not about the summer of 2015 alone. This is about a dynasty, a series that will carry movies into the next decade. This is about a master plan to reveal a new film every year that will give fans all the "Star Wars" they ever dreamed of. This is about …
Returning on an investment.
That's what the pressure is really in service of, isn't it? This is about how your masters have spent $4 billion on a franchise that needs to start repaying on its cost. This is about how your Emperor has owned the "Star Wars" universe for a year and has nothing to show for it yet. This is about bean counters getting itchy trigger fingers. But your lack of patience will be your undoing. While any "Star Wars" films will make money, a great "Star Wars" film will make much more over a longer period of time from grateful and passionate fans. It is not I who lack vision, my padawan. It is you.
You should not have come back to "Star Wars," Art.
You can't win, Commerce. If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than …
(Slash of a lightsaber blade. An empty robe falls to the floor.)
It is done, my master. What is thy bidding?
(A robed figure starts singing.)
The movies must be ready soon, and make them just for me!

The lights are on
Please bear with us as we have launched in beta so you may notice a bug or two. The best thing you can do is let us know right here in the Site Feedback Forum. Have a question or comment regarding the new site? This is your place.
I just recently switched my subscription to digital and I thought I'd be able to go the "Read Current Issue" section of the site to read my magazine. When I go to this section, there are no links anywhere to open the mag. I can open the mag from the link in my email but I thought I could launch this from the website as well. What's the deal?
Andre, sorry for the trouble... I located the problem and corrected it in your account. Please try to access the magazine again and you should be okay. -BigMike
Same Issue, although I've been receiving the digital copies for a while, but since the new formate I've got nothing.
Big Mike
I cannot get the magazine either now????
Me either, please correct for my account.
Can't access mine either! Can you also correct mine? Seems to be a pattern here!
ya, mine isn't working from the email or the website!
I can't seem to access mine either.
@xjmitchell1 you should have access now.
I appear to be having the same problem, no visible link for me.
Fixed, thanks!
Big Mike, I'm in the same boat. I have never used the digital issue (like hauling the hard copy around with me to nice quite places to read i.e. the john :) ) Anyways, could you "fix mine" as well? Love the mag, keep on keepin on.
p.s. super stocked to read the BL2 stuff, that's the reason I was going to use the digital mag, cause I haven't received my hard copy yet. Can't wait...
Yes I just recently switched to digital subscription and i cant seem to be able to access it from the website only from my email that i receive, I was hoping to just be able to go to the website and also look back through old issues as well. any help to have this fixed would be much appreciated
I signed up for PowerUpRewards today to get this online Borderlands 2 issue, but I haven't gotten my email with a link to view it (did get initial powerup email with info about gaining 250 points but nothing else). Wish I had just bought a copy of the mag in the store now.. Can you send me my link to view it?
I cant read my digital edition of gameinformer please help!

Style: Wing Chun--
So yes, a strong kicking style can utilize groin kicks, probably with more effectiveness than we do becasue they train the kicking technique more as it's a larger part of thier art. Both wing chun and his opponent can attack the groin. The difference lies in the fact thet we train specefically expecting it as a possibility. It's the primary reason why in my system of wing chun we are told not to do round house kicks.
As for why dont u check or aim higher its the same as asking why dont you just step backwards duck or block the punch instead of slipping it? All are valid options but one method is more effecient and puts you in a slightly better position to continue attacking.

Style: Cross Fit, small arms.--
I simply cannot get on board that the Chun nut push kick beats a round kick, sure you can jam them but to discount them is just insane, even if your training Chun.

Style: Savate (LBF/SD/LC) - BJJ--
The front kick can use the ball of the foot as strike zone, but also the sole of the heel (especially to the face).
Yet the roundhouse kick in Muay Thai has not been made absolete by the front kick...so your idea that a frontkick will discount the roundhouse kick isn't really correct.
Second roundhouse kicks are power kicks targetted at the upperbody or head and if you understand the body mechanics that go with a frontkick, you will know that your head will be kept with the chin in your chest and your upperbody will be straight for powergeneration thus putting your head in the striking distance of the roundhouse kick. -> Even if you can hit the groin, the roundhouse will hit you direct in the side of your head at full force, stunning or knocking you out.
Third, let a chunner enter a Daido Juku tournement where groinstrikes are legal...I would really pay money to see that.(but that's just for my entertainment).
Like I said it before, there are some nice techniques and concepts in the chun, but they do NOT validate the complete effectiveness of the art.
The history/myth of the chun is that it's designed as a quick to learn yet very limited self-defense system (if the story of Ng Mui and Wing Chun is true).Originally Posted by Jiujitsu77Originally Posted by HumanzeeOriginally Posted by jk55299 on Keysi Fighting Method

LOVED, LOVED working with Jenny!! She was very dedicated to our house hunt and an excellent communicator. She really listened to what we wanted in a new home and provided very viable options for us. The only reason we didn't continue with her was because we decided to look elsewhere in the state which was outside her territory. We even attempted to keep her, but needed a home just too far north of her stomping grounds. Awesome agent!! Thanks, Jenny!

Showed home in 2012 in New Albany, IN.
Bought a Single Family home in 2010 in Sellersburg, IN.
I was a Realtor in Mississippi before moving to Indiana. Some agents are hesitant to work with former Realtors, but Jenny was just wonderful. She made me feel welcome and informed before I got to Indiana, and provided excellent service during my whirlwind buying trip. She made me feel like her only client the whole time she was with me and helped me to find the perfect home. She kept me informed and comfortable during the whole process. I would recommend Jenny to anyone (and have!) who needs to buy or sell. As a former broker, I can say that Jenny is exactly the kind of agent I would have liked to have had working for me!

I am not and could not in any way make my physical being and its world. God is producing my body and the world it is in. I'm inside of it here, seeking a more intimate awareness of the God manifesting my reality and His purpose for it. Purpose is a time issue.As I get older the world gets scarier. My body hurts more, limiting me. This connects to why in the 2nd World War God allowed the slaughter of 6 million Jews and 7 million Christians, specifically because they held to God's word. Did this have something to do with what they believed or failed to believe? God could and did save some from death then. What would we do about this holocaust* if we could. This is all the more demanding a question as many wonder if the same thing is being set up in the United States, for us in our own day, here and now.___________________________*Stalin murdered more than Hitler and Mao was responsible for the deaths of 5 times the number both Stalin and Hitler taken together killed. How is this the best of all possible worlds to bring about God's purpose for humanities existence? Sorry about this old question, but you brought it up.
