I've discovered my heritageMy great grandmother from GrenadaMy great grandfather from St. CroixI have spice running through my veinsLike a dread in BabylonPlaced upon my head like an African crownI stand as proud as a kingA warriorBasking on the beaches of the West IndiesAfter the morning gathers the rainbowsThe shores are dripping wet with beautyThe sun descending as the night roseLingering aromas of tranquilityI can smell your scent with my eyes closedThe moon's reflection on the waters of the nightAs everything is always irie* in my Caribbean paradiseThe love of my land is as solid as a rock.
*Irie: Jamaican slang for feeling good, everything's alright.

What to do for encapsulated implant?
- Question from Karen: 9 years post mastectomy w/breast reconstruction. Implant rejected — has encapsulated and does not feel or look presentable. HELP!
- Answers - Joseph Serletti I think you need to go to a plastic surgeon who has a reputation for providing a broad spectrum of breast reconstruction. It sounds like you would be best served with removing the implant and using a reconstruction that uses the patient's own tissue, such as a TRAM flap or one of its muscle-preserving alternatives.
On Wednesday, May 16, 2007, the Ask-the-Expert Online Conference was called Reconstruction Updates. Joseph Serletti, M.D. and moderator Jennifer Sabol, M.D. answered your questions about breast reconstruction.

Communication Tip – "13 Things You Should Never Say At Work"
February 20, 2014


text:
Jeff Adams, planner from the Southeast Utah Association of Local Governments presented the 21st Century Community Award to Price City at their May 28th meeting. The award was awarded to the city because it identified all 13 areas in a new general plan for Price City, which will begin next month.
The different areas included areas of capacity, services, resources, management, and planning and keeps Price Citys eligible for state funding on certain projects.
Recognition was given for completing bronze, silver, and gold level status. The 21st Century Community Award means the city accepted the challenge of continual awareness of the needs of the city. Adams referred to the famous hockey player, Wayne Gretsky, who was quoted as saying, "I skate to where the puck will be." Adams referred to Price City as working towards the place they need to be in order to grow and better serve the community.

Previous Exhibition:
Rhonda Williams is a native Oklahoman. She is the great-granddaughter of Ralph Dent, the last hereditary chief of the Otoe-Missouri Tribe of Red Rock, Oklahoma. She also comes from a long line of artists including her great-grandmother, Madge Pettit Dent, a noted and widely known ribbon work artist. Rhonda was given her great-grandmothers Indian name "Whoo-gra-do'-a'me", meaning 'the four main support poles of the tipi' [homemaker]. Williams includes a symbol of these four main poles as part of her signature on all of her artwork.
"I have absorbed all the beautiful things that have surrounded my life and express them in my work. My creative inspirations range from the bright blue flower of a morning glory vine quietly winding itself around my grandmother's fence post, to the feelings and sights of vivid colors at a gathering of my people."
Williams balances the delicate beauty of her subject matter with the strength of bold colors and the exact placement of each item in her composition without becoming rigid or hard even where curved line meets bold straight bands of color. There is calm, quiet strength in her paintings that demonstrates an intimate and spiritual knowledge of her culture and environment. Williams' paintings follow traditional themes executed in a variety of media; from acrylics to clay to mixed media compositions incorporating buffalo or horse hair, bone and hand sculpted clay faces adorned with hair and face paint. "Painting allows me to be expressive with my style, while my clay faces demand meticulous attention to detail that I take great pride in."
For over 35 years, Williams has been creating art. She currently works out of the White Stallion Studio, a home based studio in Edmond, Oklahoma. Rhonda studied sculpture under Christy Myers, an award winning and nationally known sculptor and attended Rose State College in Midwest City, Oklahoma where she studied art. Williams' professional memberships include the Oklahoma Visual Arts Coalition and the American Indian Artist's Network Group.
Williams has exhibited her work in many group exhibitions in Oklahoma City including; the White Stallion Fine Arts Show, Oklahoma Native Art and Jewelry, 4th of July Celebration, Muhn-Kuh Pee Ka (Good Medicine) Fine Art Show and Red Earth. Other groups show include, Guthrie Art and Wine Festival, Guthrie, OK, Jacobson House Indian Art Market, Norman, OK, Gallery of the Plains Fine Art Show, Nichols Hills and Colony, OK and Artwork by Native American Women, Southern Plains Indian Museum, Anadarko, OK in 2006. Her work is held in private collections and galleries in Oklahoma and Texas.
The Southern Plains Indian Museum is privileged to present her work in her first solo exhibition. Williams' work will be on display at the museum from through December 29, 2007. Inquiries regarding the purchase of her work may be directed to the Oklahoma Indian Arts and Crafts Cooperative (OIACC) gift shop located in the Southern Plains Indian Museum.
The OIACC phone number is 405 247-3486.
After the exhibit closes, Rhonda Williams may be contacted through her email address: firstname.lastname@example.com

Limoneira Co. in Santa Paula buys Arizona grower for $18.6 million
Lemon and avocado grower Limoneira Co. in Santa Paula said it has bought Arizona's Associated Citrus Packers Inc. for $18.6 million to supply customers with lemons year-round.
Limoneira completed the deal by paying $16 million in 705,000 unregistered shares of stock. IT also paid $1.6 million toward Associated Citrus' long-term debt and contributed $1 million in cash, the company said.
Associated Citrus has supplied fruit to Limoneira since 2012.
Limoneira President and CEO Harold Edwards said the acquisition is in line with the company's long-term growth strategy to increase citrus acreage. The acquisition should help boost earnings and profit margins in fiscal years 2013 and 2014, Edwards said.
Senior Vice President Alex Teague said Associated Citrus has helped Limoneira form a year-round supply chain. Supplying customers with citrus year-round domestically and abroad "is vital in today's marketplace," he said.
Associated Citrus, based in Yuma, Ariz., will become a wholly owned subsidiary of Limoneira, according to the grower. Some senior managers will remain onboard.
Associated Citrus has access to the Colorado River to irrigate lemons on 950 acres and 350 acres of other crops. The business harvested 355,000 cartons itself and produced 745,000 cartons from other growers during the 2012-13 harvesting season that Limoneira sold. The company expects to sell the same amount next year, according to Limoneira.

Japanese pledge outbids the EU's funding for short-term climate aid in developing countries.Japan pledges a total of 15 billion US dollars for climate aid for developing countries up to 2012, Japan's delegation announced at the UN climate conference late Wednesday. Of the 15 billion dollars, 11 billion dollars will be public money, according to a press release from the delegation.
The Japanese pledge is more generous than EU's promise to fund 7.2 billion euro (9.39 billion dollars) for the same purposes over the next three years.
The Japanese funding is given on the condition that a successful political accord is achieved at the climate conference in Copenhagen.
"Upon the establishment of a new framework, Japan will with this assistance support a broad range of developing countries which are taking measures of mitigation, as well as those which are vulnerable to the negative impacts of climate change," the press release states.

Filtering spam and viruses at the mail server with Amavisd-new
Sometimes the best time to stop bad mail is before it arrives. AmavisdNew is an Open Source interface for integrating spam and virus filtering with your mail server.
The majority of viruses are propagated via email. While it is still possible to receive viruses from floppy disks and CD-ROMs, or from Internet worms and rootkits that directly attack vulnerabilities in your operating system, you are much more likely to receive viruses via email – often by inadvertently opening seemingly innocent attachments. Of course it is important to have an up-to-date virus checker on your desktop, but defense in depth is the best approach, and this is why you should be protected from spam and viruses at your receiving SMTP server. Virus protection at the mail server prevents undesirable email from reaching your desktop, and it also keeps viruses out of your POP3 or IMAP account. Filtering from the mail server reduces the load on your desktop PC or laptop, reduces the amount of bandwidth you will use, and greatly reduces the risk of spam and viruses reaching your desktop. An additional advantage of providing this extra layer of protection is that, by using a virus checker on your desktop that is different from the content checker on your SMTP server, you reduce the risk of a virus passing undetected.

I'm going to let you into a secret – There's a place I know. Its rather perfect. Don't tell everyone – They'll all want to go. If you're thinking of setting out on an autumn picnic over the half term – you may want to think about going.
Let me tell you about Hell's Mouth (No, not the hole in my face that talks a bit too much – That's a completely different type of Hell's Mouth) A wonderful beach just near Abersoch – I've probably told you about it before. Perfect for surfing, perfect for walking, perfect for picnicking – Which is why I'm telling you about it.
Vita Coco Kids have a campaign running this autumn to keep us picnicking. Just because the weather is a bit fresher doesn't mean to say we can't eat al fresco anymore. I'm all in favour of this idea and have been for years – We do outdoor day trips all year round – We are your forever optimistic picnickers – There's not much a good coat and an umbrella can't protect against.
Vita Coco want me to tell you all about our favourite picnic spot but shhh! remember to keep it quiet!
Let me introduce you to Hell's Mouth …
FREE car park – This is a perfect spot for surfers so will spot some brilliant camper vans and maybe the odd half naked man getting into a wetsuit. Its a cross we all have to bear! Even better there is a tea van so if you finish your flask – there's always a top up!
There's a sandy walk (about 200m) down to the beach – Good exercise but not too far and you are nicely warm by the time you reach the beach. Perfectly safe to let the kids walk on ahead.
There's plenty of waves for the active type – Disclaimer: This is Dermot and not me!
There's even peace and tranquility (Maybe not if you take your 3 kids)
We don't live on the doorstep of Abersoch – in fact, we have a good 2 1/2 hour drive to get there but it is well worth it. We quite often set out mid morning on a Sunday and don't get back until late evening. We take an almighty picnic but it soen't stop us devouring the chippy at Conwy on the way back.
Disclosure: We were sent a fabulous picnic set to encourage us to talk about our favourite picnic spot. Vita Coco Kids is fruit-flavoured Coconut Water using natural flavours, containing on average 20% less sugar and calories than other fruit juice drinks. I tested the drinks out on the kids without telling them that they were new and they went down really well. My 3yo loved the mango & pineapple flavour (Apple & blackcurrant flavour also available)

Isn't it amazing how the summer whizzes by? I know, I know, it's not over yet! But it's starting to feel like the end is approaching. Cooler evenings and later sunrises signal the onset of fall, and I'm looking forward to the crisp weather and back-to-school feeling (which I still get, even though I'm no longer in school).
As much as I love fall, it's fun to look back at some of the very random highlights of this summer. Of course, there are too many to share in a single blog post, but as I finally attempted to organize my photos last night, I found a few summer moments worth sharing.
This summer, I fell in love with Haymarket, our local farmers' market. Browsing through bountiful produce at marvelously low prices is the perfect way to spend a Saturday morning.
On the less healthier side of the spectrum, I perfected my recipes for homemade marshmallows and individually-sized pineapple upside down cakes. Perhaps not the best idea during bikini season, but I can't deny my sweet tooth.
I attended a wine tasting with my dad, and when we both showed up wearing bright orange and blue ensembles, the source of my often wacky sense of fashion became clear.
I cut up some old white bed sheets, dyed them, and made myself an enormous tote bag—the perfect carry on for all my summer travels.
I sang Lady Gaga karaoke in front of my fiancé's entire extended family. Fortunately, they seemed to have found this endearing.
I spent a weekend in St. Louis with my siblings and grandmother, which consisted almost entirely of lounging by the pool (and enjoying poolside beer)…
And even amidst lots of traveling, I made time to quilt. These hand-stitched and appliquéd blocks are finally ready to be joined.
Clearly, I'm in a sharing mood—I wouldn't have posted that Lady Gaga picture otherwise! So I've decided to give away this lovely bundle of Moda fabrics.
Simply share some of your summer highlights in the Comments section for a chance to win!
Our summer has been soooo hot. Spent most of my time indoors. We have had a couple great birthday parties in the family this year. Been boating a little and made a couple batches of wine to share with friends and family.
Summer highlights included a trip to Maine for wonderful weather and luscious lobster; a big clean out of my sewing room (it looks so much better, lighter, livelier); and lots of sewing. It's been a lovely summer, and it's not over yet!
One of my highlights was on our trip to Virginia Beach to visit my sister-in-law. We were at the beach on the Outer Banks and Karma watched my girls as my husband and I swam in the ocean - it was such a freeing experience that I hadn't done in so long.
Mom took my younger daughter and I to Italy, Austria and a bit of Germany. I took about 6,000 photos and savored much local cuisine. One of my highlights was finding fabric stores and buying a bit from each country. Now to figure out how to use them in the most meaningful way...
Wow - you have been a busy gal....while I probably won't do a Lady Gaga impression. For the past month we have been painting the house. We live adjacent to a 350 acre woods. I decided that our shutters needed to represent a color I could see in nature. So, sitting in the driveway, I decided the colors in the deep woods would be fabulous. I decided on a color called "Forest of Darkness". This color has shades of green, gray and brown and looks fabulous on the house. This project has also inspired me to look to nature for colors and to look deeper than the surface colors for the hidden shades. Sewing has been on the agenda as well and I feel refreshed working in my studio.
My summer has been taken up with the birth of my nephew in June and visiting his sweet little face! Also, my daughter moved down to Florida for a semester of college to work at Disney and we made it a trip and went to the beach in Pensacola and visited Universal Studios in Orlando. On the trip was just my two kids and I and we had a wonderful time together before we dropped my daughter off for her wonderful opportunity at Disney. Before we left we sewed together a lunch bag and a big carryall bag for her to use while she was down in Orlando.
I love this post, so funny--real Summer memories. Our Summer was spent at the pool, literally at swim practice daily with my oldest. BUT I consider this not to be waisted time on my part because my youngest daughter, who was terrified of water, suddenly taught herself to swim-even in the deep part...so for me this is the best memories of this Summer I will keep along with cookouts, gardening, watching movies and complaining about the heat, sewing...
Summer started out great with a trip to Kauai, Hawaii but then it kind of went downhill due to the excessive heat and humidity that we have been having. Mind you that has meant spending more time indoors which has led to more quilting and sewing time.
Sigh - my basement - slash sewing area was flooded in June. Had to throw away a huge portion of my stash, patterns etc. No place to sew all summer. On the brighter side - my renovated area (way nicer than the old) is almost ready to be used. Give me another week and I will be on fire with all the projects that have been churning in my head. And yes one does get withdrawal symptoms when one is not able to sew.
In the midst of keeping the studio running I took a day off with the family to head to the zoo...had a blast and it brought back a gallon of happy memories of when the children were younger and we did this on a much more regular basis.
The best part of this horribly hot summer has been central air conditioning. I am definitely NOT a summer person and I am so looking forward to the cooler days of fall that put me in the quilting mood!
I've had a working summer - tutoring kids out of school. I have been adding more raw fruits and veggies to my diet and met with my quilting friends for creative fun!
Summer Highlights... awaiting the arrival of my third grandbaby, and making her a special quilt, backed with minkee, while i wait. Spending time at the beach with the girls and trying to stay cool during the humid days. I'm looking forward to fall and cool weather and lots and lots of sewing !!!
I've been a busy little quilter! I made a gorgeous beach tote for my sister-in-law out of sea-inspired batiks (greens and aquamarine), which I gave to her when we went down to the Texas Coast in July. She had the brilliant idea that we should sample the key lime pie from every restaurant at which we dined and then do a comparison. Great idea! And now that vacation is over, I started working on a quilted table-topper for a fundraiser supporting my daughter's school dance team. It's mainly in Christmas colors, and it features a pieced and appliqued cardinal in the middle--their school mascot. And I don't know what's next, except maybe putting the binding on a Halloween quilt. Summer is great for sewing because it's too darn hot outside.
My family attended my husbands family reunion in South Carolina...first time in 22 years 5 out 6 kids got together...also a first for us to visit the area...saw a great show at the Borrough Museum (Myrtle Beach) of Gee Bend Quilts too.
This summer my son (7 yrs old) and I both participated in a triathlon. We had a great time and can't wait to try it again. We have also enjoyed many days on the beach of Lake Superior.
A highlight occurred the very beginning of summer-my husband built an extension onto our deck and included a pergola!!! And the best part of summer comes next week, at the annual 'Artist's Retreat' at Lost Lake! Scrapbookers, Quilters and oil/chalk/watercolor Artists all gather for a week at a woodsy camp and art our hearts out! Eat, sleep and sew. Doesn't get any better than that!
Oh! And Pippa, loved the farmer's market shot! THAT is a quilt to be, for sure!
Summer in Finland has been gorgeous this year: heat records have been broken everywhere and sun galore for everyone. One of the highlights was my trip to Sweden, where I for the first time in my life got the chance to see genuine runestones and ancient rock carvings. I'm sure they will end up in my quilts at some point!
35th anniversary celebrated by a trip to Turkey & Greece.
We took our daughters to Disney World. (It had been 10 years since we were there.) Our "little" disabled daughter (who's actually 19) LOVES Aladdin and thinks he's her boyfriend. We had the best time watching her hug on Aladdin. (He was really good with her.) In addition to that, two family reunions, entertained out-of-town family twice, celebrated 4 family birthdays, baseball games, horseback riding . . .
Family left to visit relatives out of state; 4 days to myself!
Enjoyed growing and canning my own fresh vegetables. Also, of course had to do some needlework, sewing and quilting!
Summer Highlights - The beach, organizing my craft room, visit by my grandchildren & cruisin!
I'm so excited to be here! This is the perfect place to find both inspiration and instructions for textile arts that I want to learn more about!
My summer has been great. We took our grandsons on their first camping trip ever - and even though it was exhausting keeping up with 3 little boys, we had so much fun! During our travels this summer I discovered 4 new quilt shops, met some awesome people and came home with more fabric than I probably should have, but it's all SO hard to resist!
A special summer for me....cleaned out my studio!!! Wow, what memories while I sorted all my fabric, yarns, fibers and books. Joined our communities historic homestead mansion for their yard sale. Enjoyed talking to all the visitors about ideas for the items I sold, all at really great prices. The items not sold went to my local quilt guild for charity quilts.
Of course, kept up my vegetable garden, where I am teaching my three year old granddaughter all about the earth, composting, seeding, harvesting, and of course eating as we pick.
To round it out, have been reading, reading, reading!!!
It's been very hot here. We have been working on painting indoors, so my sewing room has become the storage site as we move furniture to paint.. Ready for things to get back to "normal". We have enjoyed lots of watermelon and tomatoes!
I wish my summer highlight was a vacation but, it was not. BUT, I got to move from an apartment into a house with my boys and three cats! It was terribly hot here in Phoenix to be moving but I survived and love being in a house I can really make "home". I also got to teach two classes at an art retreat, Art Unraveled! It's always a highlight of my year!
I'd love to win that fabric so I'm crossing my fingers!
One highlight of the summer was the quilt made by our knit/sew/craft group at church....now we're ready to raffle it for charity donation. a great group activity for a worthy cause. Our other highlight was helping son, daughter-in-law & grandsons move into their newly purchased home, their first. Now spending the waning days of summer with our court being dug up to replace the sewer...what a mess! but, since getting out is difficult, it's the perfect excuse to stay home & sew.
After having surgery on my ankle in February, I dusted off my sewing machine and learned to quilt!!! I'm just completing my second quilt (baby quilt) that has free motion quilting, trapunto and hand embrodiery ... all from my own design. Not only am I having fun but my 6 yr old twins have been helping me dye material and are startign their own quilts! 2010 - A Great Summer!
Oh! I need the recipes for the marshmallows and Pineapple upside down cake! Those look fabulous.
I need those recipes! Smores would be even better with homemake marshmallows!
Our summer has been sooooo cold. (SF Bay Area) great for finishing all those hand applique projects.
We had a huge 3 day family reunion. So much fun!
Our summer has flown by and I'm not certain what we did! I had children flying off in all different directions and so that may be part of what made it fly by. We did take a family vacation to see my sister in San Francisco and had a wonderful time! I love the farmer's markets there in the city! My own garden has suddenly started producing a ton of tomatoes so now it's canning time!
Just spending time with my family!!! It doesn't matter where we are!
My summer has been great! I've been looking after my grandkids alot while their parents go to work. We are having a drought here so the weather has been very hot and dry. No sewing happens when the thermometer goes up! I love the Quilting Arts network - it's great for reading and viewing on these hot summer days - Thanks!
This summer has been one of swimming, birthdays, quilting, and family! Thanks for the chance to win that awesome fabric!
This summer we were able to go to MT Hood for our aniversary, take the kids camping, go to the top of Mt Sait Helens Look outs and finally we took the kids fishing and crabing to end the summer before school starts. I think the best thing I got out of our whole summer was spending time with our children before they head off to college and senior year at high school. I also got some great pictures to add to some of the quilts I am working on as rememberance quilts for my kids.
My summer highlights were not spectacular,
but still, I thought them fine.
Sleeping late, a fruitful garden,
Fresh veggies on which to dine!
Brought out the canner, and dozens of jars,
and processed our bounty many nights!
Slept late the next morning, picked more and more veggies,
And pickled to our hearts delights!
It's time for school, no more sleeping late,
but our garden is still producing.
We'll keep on canning, and canning and canning.
this winter our jars we'll be using!
My summer has been quite unique this year. The weather hasn't cooperated, it has been quite rainy. I also switched jobs, so can't take too much time off yet ... but ... have set up my backyard in my new house, bought furniture, colorful pillows, candles, flowers ... So all is not lost.
I wish everyone out there a wonderful end of the summer season.
I played the tourist in my own Chicago neighborhoods!-- Journeyed to the Chicago River Walk and created several art images that will be transfered to fabric. Visited the colorful Pilsen neighborhood and fall in love with several vintage resale stores. I took the El train from end to end (95th and the Dan Ryan to the Purple line-Evanton) and took a class with the famous Art Encounter organization. Rounding things out, every Wednesday I have been attending Jazz in the Grazz at Chicago State University and sketches the bands and people.
Marian Hayes-quilt artist
Attended American Sewing Guild Conference and attended several enjoyable classes. Sewed up a bag and developed a bag to teach at a chapter guild meeting. Working on a organizing a community service event for 9-11 for our community.
Had our grandson down from Cape Cod to our Sultry south for three weeks and otherwise avoided thos hot, hot days.
Loved your picture of market. Wished we had access to a market here.
This summer we made a phantastic and very expensive holiday in Iceland. It was the second time for us and the first for my son, now 17 and very scary of family holiday. But we enjoied every day, and we had an unusual good weather this time. So I'm thinking to put the memory of this journey in a quilt....willIi succeed in doing this?
I swam with my kids, dyed a ton of fabric, learned needle felting, shibori and loved all aspects of the summer
Summer went by so fast it seems like a blur. My highlights included harvesting indigo as part of the IndiGrowingBlue project, finding out my niece and her husband are having a baby girl due at Christmas, and cleaning out my closets. I am looking forward to sewing some things for little Ava's arrival and trying to plan some indigo dyed pieces for her.
One of my summer high lights was getting together with old high school girl friends in Chicago for a celebration of the year of a significant birthday. We do this every five years...ever since we all turned 50! We are from all over the country and this is our fifth time to get together...can you guess what birthday year this is??? Love your blog...especially the pics of the Market place!
Hmmm- summer highlights. They ranged from battling a flooded basement(we won!) to doing alot of cyanotype printing when the sun was out to making assorted tote bags and sunglass cases for friends. And a nice weekend coming up, so more cyanotyping...
For the second summer in a row - it's now a tradition - I took my 6-year-old granddaughter camping. Just the two of us in a tent. We spent the days swimming and hiking, and in the evenings we did "crafts". We painted with acrylic on little canvases, did some watercolor painting, and painted a little wooden birdhouse. Her bedtime stories consisted of "tell me about" apples, when mommy was little, when you had braces, etc. One evening we had thunderstorms so her bedtime story was about how lightning makes thunder! I can hardly wait for our next campout!
SUMMER HIGHLIGHTS - 2 weeks on aunt's homestead ranch near Yellowstone Park; great times with 12 year old grandson; celebrating an aunt's 100th birthday with her 3 sisters who are all over 93 years old (including my mother!); 2 weeks on the Oregon coast and 2 whole days in Sister's Oregon where the wonderful quilting shop, The Stitching Post, is located. What a great summer!
We had our first vacation together as a blended family - a patchwork you might say - it was wonderful. Visited an Amish quilting store along the way too.
This summer has been fantastic, two weeks in southern England and when we got home, we got to go to the best music festival on this side of the planet - Edmonton Folk Fest!! This year the folk fest highlight... .. Van Morrison! Awesome!
I'm jealous of all the great trips. I've pretty much just worked to make money for school. Still the summer has been rainy with many storms and washouts, so I'm not missing much.
Currently sitting in a large basement workshop overlooking a small lake outside of Rochester NY with six other quilting friends for a five-day getaway. We have been very busy working on projects that are actually making it to the DONE list! Good food, belly laughs, and great friends make for a terrific time!
Love the father/daughter outfits! I've been looking for Iris quilt patterns - for my new granddaughter, Iris. And, harvesting lots from our garden. We are surely blessed!
Being without all my craft and sewing stuff I spent my summer making sketchbooks. I worked the same way as I usually do but this time with paper and paint and other drawing materials. It was fun.
Your summer looks fun. Love the tote you made - inspirational! And the quilt is so colorful and happy! Wow! The heat here in the south has been prohibitive, really. I've stayed inside more than usual and have been sewing - two quilts for charity donations, a tablerunner, some fun wall hangings. I've been to the beach once and it too was too hot! But I love the atmosphere of the beach so much. And I've spent lots of time with my family (I'm a widowed grandmother), most of whom live nearby. I am blessed!
My summer highlight was my son coming home from Colorado (I live in Ohio) and bringing my grandsons with him. Took them all, along with a granddaughter to the zoo for a day.
I spent a week at Quilting by the Lake in Syracuse, NY.
Fun summer for me. My daughter turned 4 and she is such fun right now - we've just played and played all summer long. I also started quilting for the first time. I've been sewing for some time now and earlier a coworker was diagnosed with *** cancer - requiring surgery. I wanted to make her something as a commemorative reminder of her fight and ultimate victory over such an aggressive disease. I was browsing my local craft store for inspiration when I saw a quilting catalog with an amazing pink, tan, & cream quilt pattern and I KNEW that was it...I've been addicted since!!!
My summer so far has been spent as a stay-cation enjoying our beautiful weather, swimming at the lake and in the river, entertaining family visiting from Europe and lots of BBQ'ing. I haven't done as much quilting as I'd hoped but my Guild had a summer challenge so I've been working on my Mug Bag.
Ending the summer by going to the Iowa State Fair, buying up fabric for fall and winter sewing and enjoying medium rare New York Strips from the grill and ice cold beer. Nothing finer.
A lot of sewing - just too hot to be outside in the afternoons! We also took up kayaking - lots of fun. Great to do in the mornings before the intense heat.
Summer highlight was a trip to Vancouver Island and the gulf islands this summer. The best was the excitement on the kid's faces. This was their first trip to the coast. We went whale watching (saw Orcas and Gray Whale) and dug up the most enormous Goey Duck Clam on the beach!
I've spent the past two weeks moving my studio from the too small and way too hot loft to the almost refinished basement. I still have a dozen boxes and bags to unpack. I question why I bought some of this stuff but I'm sure I'll use it sooner or later. Of course I'd have to still be sewing and painting until I'm 103, but that seems like a good way to spend the next 40 years!
As brand new, first-time homeowners, we kept so busy this summer working on our fixer-upper. We spent our days painting, building, destroying, tiling, sewing, plumbing, wiring, you name it. It's a lot of hard work, and we're nowhere near done, but it's made for a really memorable summer, and we're so proud of our DIY home.
I finally finished 2 quilts. I spending time with my family. I went to the zoo with my grandaughter, I do not know who had more fun. Went camping to the mountains and went to my niece engagement party. Visited my daughter and her husband. It was a summer of family.
Summer highlights for me included a once in a lifetime trip (i hope MORE than once in a lifetime!) to Maui courtesy of one of our sons who accompanied my husband and me; lots of quilting, painting, stitching, dreaming up ideas and chasing after grandbabies in between. Life is good, happy and colorful.
Summer fun...... work...... Although did enjoy a bit of summer.
Made blackberry jam. Created a wonderful quilted tree wallhanging.
Spent 3 days in Seattle, WA with my daughter. Fun shopping, found Undercover Quilts in downtown Seattle. That was a blast.
Thanks for the wonderful blog.

Filed under: Drugs
Synthetic drugs are laboratory-made substances marketed and sold as alternatives to illegal drugs such as marijuana, cocaine, and amphetamines. Although most are advertised as "all-natural," they may have serious health effects and violate the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ). HPRC takes a look at two examples of synthetic drugs, their legal status, and how they can affect service members in "HPRC's Answer: Synthetic Drugs of Abuse."
HPRC has received many questions about C4 Extreme and whether or not it will result in a positive drug test. We have posted an OPSS FAQ to answer the question. Be sure to check back often as we add answers to other questions about ingredients in performance and weight-loss supplements and how to choose supplements safely. If you have additional questions about a particular dietary supplement ingredient or product, please use our "Ask the Expert" button located on the OPSS home page.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) sent warning letters to manufacturers and distributors of dietary supplements containing 1,3-dimethylamylamine (DMAA) due to lack of safety evidence provided before marketing. The FDA states that information about the safety of DMAA as a dietary supplement ingredient has not been identified. For more information, see the FDA News Release and HPRC's latest on Dietary Supplement Products Containing DMAA.
The latest news on DMAA includes the New Zealand government's ban just placed on DMAA-containing products. DMAA has already been declared a drug in Canada and is banned by the World Anti-Doping Agency, the United States Anti-doping Agency (USADA), collegiate sports teams, and most professional sports teams.
HPRC has again updated its list of DMAA-containing dietary supplements, including a number of additions as well as some products that have been discontinued or reformulated. The additions mostly represent lesser-known products that have been around a while, but surprisingly there are a couple new products too. And we have added two new "aliases" to the list of other names for DMAA. To download the list, click on this link to "Dietary Supplement Products Containing DMAA."
HPRC has received a number of questions about whether dietary supplements—especially those used for bodybuilding and weight loss—could result in a positive result on military drug tests.
Military drug testing begins with urine, which is first screened and then followed by additional tests depending on the outcome of the screen. You can get extensive information about DoD's drug policy and drug testing from the Drug Demand Reduction Program (DDRP), including military testing. And for answers about the potential effects of specific dietary supplements on drug screening tests, you can contact your service's military drug-testing laboratory by phone or email at:
- U.S. Army, Fort Meade, MD – (301)-677-7085 or email@example.com
- U.S. Army, Tripler AMC, HI – (808)-433-5176 or firstname.lastname@example.com
- U.S. Navy, Great Lakes, IL – 847-688-2045, press 2 or ext 113, or firstname.lastname@example.com
- U.S. Navy, San Diego, CA – 619-532-5180 or email@example.com
- U.S. Navy, Jacksonville, FL – 904-542-7755, press 2 or ext 104, or firstname.lastname@example.com
- U.S. Air Force, Lackland AFB, TX – (210) 292-3089 or firstname.lastname@example.com or 210-292-3101 or email@example.com
Positive urinalysis results due to dietary supplement use can occur because products on the market may contain undeclared drug ingredients—that is, controlled substances that are not stated/listed on the product label. More information can be found in the FDA Consumer Update There you will also find information about how to get updates about products FDA has identified as tainted. There is no way to know if a particular supplement contains an undeclared drug without laboratory testing, but FDA does keep track of such products once identified through its MedWatch program.
The Department of Defense (DoD) currently has no formal policy on the use of dietary supplements and no list of either banned or safe supplements. For more on this topic, see Operation Supplement Safety's (OPSS) FAQ "Is there an all-encompassing list of dietary supplements that are banned or illegal for use by military personnel?"

818 Tasting Notes
Tea smoothie time again! So good in a tea smoothie, and sweet enough to not need added sweetener.
I am trying to lose my baby weight, so I have joined weight watchers. So all, my tea friends, be ready to see lots of reviews for tea in tea smoothies.
I compared this tea yesterday to the grade 1 version of Keemun.
I find this tea to be maltier (if that's even a word) and smoother than the grade 1 version. I think it is a little bit less sweet. I do get more notes of the peppercorn.
Hmmm, I am not sure which one I like better because I like each one for a little different reasons.
I sipped this down yesterday as a comparison to the premium keemun to determine which one I would like to stock in my cupboard. Needless to say, it didn't go according to plan because I like them both for different reasons. I drank them side by side.
In my opinion, this one is a bit fruitier, with more prominent cocoa notes. It is maybe a little bit sweeter than the premium version, but not quite as smooth. It is definitely great for everyday drinking.
Finally sipping down this tea from last September.
I found that you definitely have to steep this herbal for a long time to get real flavour. I am not too sad that it's gone, but it was ok. Not bad for a banana tea.
Flavors: Dates
I have been scared of Genmaicha, but this is SO GOOD!!
There was no need to be scared. This is deep and rich, chocolate, with that lovely malt. I really enjoy that toasty flavour from the rice.
Flavors: Chocolate
This tastes really "homey" to me if that makes sense. I really enjoy this, but next time, I think I would steep in a tea bag rather than my steeper because I am still tasting it today.
This is a really nice citrus vanilla herbal selection. I need to have more herbals in my tea collection!

10,000 Words posted this week about a website called For Journalism, which aims to teach journalists at any step in their career technical skills in coding and data through $20 online courses.
The project was funded by Kickstarter and is still in its initial stages, but current courses include Javascript, Responsive Design and Charting and Visualization. Experienced journalists who are experts in their skill areas will create the courses, which will include videos, e-books and code examples.
I purchased the course in Responsive Design, a skill I've wanted to learn for a while, to get an idea for what the materials are like. So far the page includes 17 screencasts in the style of YouTube tutorials and a message that states "this course is currently an in-progress preview."
Of course, much more can't be expected at this stage of beta, but I'm excited to see the rest of the course and website roll out.
For Journalism reminds of sites like Codeacademy, which provides interactive coding lessons in different web languages, and Method of Action, another beta site that will teach users the basics of design through interactive lessons. Though For Journalism doesn't have interactivity baked in and will cost, it appears to have the potential to become an essential resource for journalists.
Not everyone agrees that journalists ought to learn coding, but For Journalism seems poised to make coding a relevant skill for reporters regardless of the connotations of digital journalism.

Schleich Tennessee Walker Mare 13713$7.49
The Tennessee Walker is a wonderful riding horse thanks to its smooth gait and even temperament.
It's hardly surprising that the Tennessee Walker represents the U.S. State of Tennessee; and as the name indicates, this horse is known for a particular type of gait, an accelerated form of the walk. This breed was developed in the Southern USA for plantation owners and its special way of walking is comfortable for every rider. Tennessee Walkers are known for their pleasant character and rideability. These horses reach a height of 1.50 to 1.70 meters and weigh around 450 kg.
- Dimensions: 2" L x 5.3" W x 4.3" H
Schleich Giant Panda 14664$7.49
The panda bear is the official animal of the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF), the largest nature protection organisation in the world.
The giant panda is a notable black and white coloured member of the bear family. Panda bears primarily feed on bamboo. When eating, they stand on their hind paws so that their front paws can hold their food. There are only a very limited number of Pandas living in the wild. Experts estimate their numbers, which are restricted to only a few regions of China, to be fewer than 3000. Therefore, they are amongst the world's highly endangered species.
- Dimensions: 2.5" L x 2.5" W x 3" H
Schleich Red Deer 14647$7.49
Red deer antlers grow one inch per day.
Living in groups, young deer are cared for and well-protected, especially since they camouflage well in the woods with white spots on their back. Since they must run quickly to escape predators, deer are equipped with long legs. Deer are the only mammals to grow antlers. Males use their antlers to compete with other males during breeding season. Also, during this time, red deer males grow a mane around their neck. This mane is made up of thick fur and makes the red buck look more intimidating. These deer can live between ten and twenty years, depending on whether they live in captivity or in the wild.
- Dimensions: 2.5" L x 4.1" W x 4.1" H
Schleich Haflinger Mare Horse Figurine 13742$7.49

Schleich Giraffe Male Eating 14389$7.49
A giraffe's heart can measure two feet long and weigh twenty-two pounds.
Giraffes are the tallest land mammals-- their babies can reach six feet tall when they're born! Each giraffe has a unique pattern of spots on its coat -- subspecies of Giraffe are, in fact, differentiated by color and pattern variations as well as by geographic range. Some Giraffes are recognized by their rounded or blotched spots -- some with star-like extensions on a light tan background, running down to the hooves. Despite the Giraffe's unusually long neck, it has the same number of vertebrae as humans -- only seven. Giraffes graze far and wide across the southern African bush and savannah, browsing the tops of trees for new shoots. Giraffes can go for two or three days without water, just like camels. They have several knobs, called ossicones, on their heads that are covered with fur. Giraffes sleep for only up to an hour at a time and can survive without sleep for an entire day. They spend most days just ambling around, but when they decide to run, they're fast and can reach up to thirty five miles per hour! Some Giraffes live in herds of up to fifteen, but the social structure constantly changes.
- Dimensions: 4.1" L x 1.4" W x 6.9" H
Schleich Simmental Cow 13641$7.49
Simmental cattle have been documented since the Middle Ages.
Originally from the valley of the Simme River in Switzerland, Simmental cattle are one of the oldest and most distributed cattle breeds. A part of the creation of other breeds, Simmental cattle have many desirable traits that have led to the success of many breeds in Europe. Their best traits include their use as draught animals as well as their use in beef and in dairy. With quickly growing calves, this breed is prized for its maturity.
- Dimensions: 5.2" L x 2.4" W x 3.1" H
Schleich Frisian Stallion 13667$7.49
When foals are first born, they can't eat grass because their long legs make it impossible for them to reach it.
Originally from the Netherlands, ancestors of the modern-day Frisians valiantly carried Knights into battle, humbly worked on the farm, and victoriously competed in trotting races. Now, Frisians hold the privilege of serving as carriage horses, dressage competitors, circus participants, and many more. This active horse has countless desirable features including 'feathers' on their lower legs, thick manes and tails, healthy bone structure, good carriage, and willing temperaments. Ranging between fourteen and seventeen hands, this breed boasts a beautiful trot.Learn More
Schleich Polar Bear 14659$7.49
Polar bears are perfectly adapted to life in the eternal ice of the Arctic. They can even swim for long distances in ice cold water.
Together with the grizzly bear, the polar bear is the largest land-dwelling predatory animal on earth. Weighing in at more than 500 kg and measuring almost 3 m in length, this bear is twice as large as a Siberian tiger. In order to withstand the extreme Arctic cold, polar bears have a thick layer of fat. They also have an undercoat and a layer of transparent protective fur. This allows them to hunt and swim in very low temperatures. Polar bears are very good swimmers and have been sighted as far as 300 km from the coast. They need a highly sensitive sense of smell when hunting for food and can smell things located 1.5 metres away or buried under a layer of ice one metre thick! Their hearing and vision are comparable with those of a human being. Polar bears are solitary animals but do not have defined territories and enjoy playing with each other. Mating takes place in May and during gestation, the female polar bear nearly triples in weight.
- Dimensions: 2" L x 4" W x 3.1" H

MASSENA - A Norfolk man was jailed on $15,000 cash bail Wednesday after he struggled with police officers when they were attempting to take him into custody on a bench warrant following a traffic stop on Sycamore Street.
Village police charged Alexander J. White, 26, of 27 Morris St., Apt. 2, Norfolk, with second-degree assault, false personation and resisting arrest and ticketed him for making an insufficient signal less than 100 feet from a turn, operation of a vehicle with the drivers view obstructed and failure to produce insurance following the traffic stop at 11:07 a.m. Wednesday on Sycamore Street.
Police said White initially identified himself to police as Adam F. Peets, 27, in an apparent effort to conceal from police that there was an active bench warrant for his arrest from Norfolk Town Court for an alleged probation violation.
Police said White became combative when officers attempted to take him into custody on the warrant. They said he pulled away and fought with police in a tussle that ended on the street before he was taken into custody. A village police sergeant was treated and released at Massena Memorial Hospital after spraining his wrist during the altercation.
White was arraigned by Acting Massena Village Justice James M. Crandall and sent to the St. Lawrence County Correctional Facility with bail set at $15,000 cash or $30,000 bond.
St. Lawrence County Assistant District Attorney Michael Gebo had recommended bail at $5,000 cash, but he had noted the court had discretion to set a higher bail, acknowledging a second-degree assault conviction could end in a state prison sentence and that White had allegedly attempted to escape when police were trying to take him into custody.
The court is considering a higher amount, Mr. Crandall said before setting the bail at $15,000 cash.

Youngest NFL Coaches (Modern Era)
Lane Kiffin (left) became the youngest head coach of the NFL's modern era when the Oakland Raiders selected him to guide the team on January 23, 2007.
At age 31 years, 8 months, Kiffin is three months younger than Harland Svare who earned his first coaching job with the Los Angeles Rams in 1962. In 3 1/2 seasons, Svare compiled a 14-31-3 record with Los Angeles. He later served as the head coach of the San Diego Chargers from 1971 to 1973.
Here is a look at the youngest coaches over the years.

Phoenix Suns: Planet Orange (cones)?
The Phoenix Suns are tipping off more than a new season. They're launching a new era, right down to a new-look court. Yes, even the home hardwood has undergone an offseason transformation.
As I asked Lance Blanks during a live report on ABC15 from US Airways Center prior to the Suns preseason home opener: are you an NBA General Manager or the host of "Extreme Makeover?"
Either way, if you've been keeping score since April and the end of last season, the Suns lead the NBA in decision-making. Starting with the trade of Steve Nash to the Lakers, it's been like a Burger King drive-thru - one whopper after another. Grant Hill - gone to the Clippers. Goran Dragic - back from the Rockets. Michael Beasley and Wesley Johnson - signed in hopes of maximizing unrealized potential as recent Top-5 picks in the NBA Draft.
In fact, it's worthwhile to note that every single player currently on the Suns roster has been acquired by the current front office. No more holdovers from a prior regime. Meaning, it's time to drop the flag on the meter that will track wins and losses like a passenger's fare on a season long cab ride.
In talking to various Suns players and coaches, this much is clear: Steve Nash is gone, but the up-tempo style of play is most definitely not. The Suns plan to get up and down the floor. Now, whether it will get 'em anywhere close to a playoff spot ...well, that's the question this season is designed to answer.
So as we track towards the season opener on Halloween night, it's time to trade the hard hats for high-tops. The orange cones are now replaced by Planet Orange, as the construction season gives way to the NBA season.

With more families opting to ditch the traditional room-based home and start living a little more open plan, could this spell the end of the dining room?
A decade ago seeing a leather sofa in the same room as a dining table meant that you had stepped foot into a posh penthouse or a stylish suite on holiday. Today many families are choosing to renovate their homes by knocking through walls and creating one large living area, complete with classy corner sofa.
As more homes are subject to this trendy transformation, what are the features, flaws and benefits to having such a sweeping space to contend with?
Starting with the basics, open plan living looks amazing. With the right interior design and room planning, a house with a combined living, dining and kitchen area has the potential to be the contemporary pad everyone dreams of. This modern style is still suggestive of its expensive original roots and oozes sophistication.
Realistically, it needs to be considered that for things to look lovely they have to be maintained. Not everyone can be a domestic goddess and keeping one huge space tidy can be challenging. Open plan living means that 'dumping rooms' are gone and that everything has to have a place. Getting creative with storage solutions and making features out of belongings are ways to cut down the clutter.
Despite it stereotypically screaming 'bachelor pad', open plan areas can actually be an excellent space for families. Thinking out of the box, large expanses of floor are superb for ride-ons and walkers, not to mention being a fantastic location for birthday parties.
It's not just the children that can benefit from this either. Christmas gatherings and other celebrations will feel like much less of a strain. Such a large room is perfect for entertaining, without all guests feeling as though they are on top of each other or are being sectioned off into different parts of the house. As the host, it is a reassuring way of keeping your eye on what is going on: remember your mess can't be hidden though, so don't try anything too experimental in the kitchen if you're feeding people who are likely to judge you for life.
For a family who have different hobbies or interests this can be a difficult way to live. Noise from the television will carry right through to the kitchen meaning anyone who is trying to relax at the dining table with a good book will be disturbed.
The temperature can also be difficult to tackle. Heating such a large space quickly and efficiently can be challenging and expensive; you do lose the advantage of having small rooms with their own radiators, fires, ovens and doors: it can feel a little less cosy during the winter months.
The money you save on lighting could just pay for those extra heating bills though. Open plan rooms are generally surrounded by windows, which do allow a lot of natural light through. Not only is this visually convenient but it is a marvellous mood-lifter and works wonders for seeing home interiors quite literally in the best light. Don't forget the house plants too – they'll love you for it.
Try to think long and hard about redesigning a home if you are someone who likes to follow trends and is quite fickle when it comes to fashion. Although open plan spaces may seem like the ultimate dream, consider how quickly this fantasy could fall. Knocking down walls is a big job, but rebuilding them is arguably even harder.

FRANKFORT, Ky. – Governor Ernie Fletcher today visited Owsley County High School in Booneville to spread the Get Healthy Kentucky message to Kentucky teenagers to get serious about physical activity, nutrition and saying no to tobacco.
Following this advice is key to healthy living and ensuring a good quality of life well into adulthood, the Governor told the group of more than 200 students and faculty gathered in the Kids on Stage room at the high school.
"I want all Kentuckians to live well and have the best possible quality of life, particularly our young people," said Governor Fletcher. "I hope each student took away from this the knowledge that the choices they are making now will affect them later in life."
Sue Brunk, who serves as the school nurse at Owsley County Elementary and High Schools, received a GHK Certificate of Recognition at the event for contributions to the health of her community. In her role as nurse, Brunk spends mornings at the elementary school and afternoons at the high school. In addition, she helped secure a health initiatives grant; scheduled health fairs and health checks for students and staff; partnered with teachers on encouraging healthy eating and exercise habits among students; worked with athletic coaches on players' nutrition; and scheduled exercise sessions for students and staff.
"We are seeking out people like Sue Brunk all over Kentucky - people who share our vision and our dedication to Get Healthy Kentucky," said Governor Fletcher.
Get Healthy Kentucky is a statewide wellness initiative that incorporates physical activity, nutrition and tobacco cessation and prevention components. GHK has created an opportunity for individuals and groups to have a one-stop, central location for information and resources that will improve the quality of life for Kentuckians and help prevent chronic illnesses like diabetes and heart disease.
GHK is designed for Kentukians of all ages and includes access to reliable, unbiased information on the GHK Web site, www.gethealthy.ky.gov. The site provides information about the Governor's Challenge program, an incentive-based fitness program designed to help participants set personal fitness goals and track progress online.
"As a whole, Kentucky has work to do to improve our health," said Health and Family Services Cabinet Secretary Mark D. Birdwhistell. "The Fletcher administration not only understands what has to be done to reverse these negative health trends, but also has created this comprehensive, motivational program where people can get all the tools and information they need to get healthy."
Kentuckians have long battled high rates of obesity, physical inactivity and tobacco use. However, Governor Fletcher said today, things have started to change.
"My administration is addressing these problems through programs and policy decisions," said Governor Fletcher.
Here's a look at a few of the recent accomplishments:
A smoking cessation benefit in public employees' health plans and Medicaid
An increased number of anti-smoking ordinances, including smoke-free state government buildings and 13 city/county ordinances across the state that prohibit smoking in most public facilities
Expanded newborn metabolic screenings, increasing the number of screenings given to newborns (which test for metabolic disorders) from four to 29
The creation of diabetes Centers of Excellence in six areas in Kentucky, which will link patients with local health departments, health educators, hospitals and other resources in their community to provider better disease management for those living with diabetes
Improved health department facilities through infrastructure improvement grants awarded to 26 health departments across Kentucky, totaling $10 million
Recent changes to school nutrition programs. The changes resulted in Kentucky receiving an A- on a national report card measuring the quality of nutrition in schools. Kentucky was the only state to receive this grade.
An increased commitment to preventing a bioterrorism attack. Kentucky is now ranked third in the nation for bioterrorism preparedness.
"I'm extremely proud of the progress we've made – and the commitment all Kentuckians have shown – to improving the health status of our commonwealth," said Governor Fletcher. "Now, with Get Healthy Kentucky, we have structured our resources to better inform the public and form a plan to change the wellness culture of our state."
For more information about Get Healthy Kentucky or to participate in the Governor's Challenge, visit www.GetHealthy.ky.gov. The Web site contains information to help Kentuckians lead healthier, more active lifestyles and information on incentives to motivate Kentuckians to continue to challenge themselves.
For the past several months, the governor has traveled the state promoting Get Healthy Kentucky, stopping in Owensboro, Paintsville, Ashland, Elizabethtown, Louisville and Hyden. The events have drawn more than 1,000 people.

Seattle Seahawks coach Pete Carroll said he "never dreamed" of the trouble that would befall Southern California after he left the school in January to return to the NFL.
In an interview with HBO's Real Sports with Bryant Gumbel set to air on Wednesday night, Carroll reiterated that he did not leave USC because he feared what they would to the program.
"Oh, it– it wasn't even a factor," Carroll told HBO. "It never even dawned on me that that was even an issue."
The NCAA imposed sanctions on USC that include a two-year bowl ban and a loss of scholarships after an investigation that determined that Reggie Bush received improper benefits while at the school.
Carroll has criticized the NCAA's harsh sanctions, though he said earlier this week he accepted some responsibility for his connection to the program.
But he insisted he didn't his decision to go to the NFL wasn't intended to flee the coming sanctions:
"I'd been living with it for five years. It was all about the competitive draw of it. The part about the investigation–never, ever entered in. You have to understand, I never thought it would ever happen like this. I never even dreamed it could go to this point."
Carroll had opportunities to return to the NFL in previous seasons. Now he is rejoining a league where he had two previous head coaching jobs, most recently in 1999.
Now 58, he told HBO he is a different person than the man who coached the New England Patriots more than a decade ago:
"Basically, I didn't know me. You know, I didn't know what was important to me. And I hadn't asked myself the– the important questions, so that I would be really crystal clear on where I was coming from. To go back is, like, having that opportunity to do something over again–that you wished you would've known then what you know now."
Real Sports debuts on Wednesday night at 9 p.m. ET.

Each fall, the Foreign Studies Program offers more advanced students an intense immersion in Berlin life and culture. The prerequisites: two courses (or the equivalent) beyond German 5 (but not including 7) - or permission of the chair. Students who participate on the summer LSA directly before may petition the director to have one of those courses waived. As with the LSA, students live with local families and take three Dartmouth courses taught exclusively in German. The program includes visits to concerts, operas, plays, and museums, as well as a trip to Vienna.

Having 2 girls, about 2 years apart, I really expected to get to take advantage of hand-me-downs. Well, Elizabeth is in a larger size than Emily. So far, it doesn't seem to bother her that she is bigger than her older sister. Hopefully it will stay that way.View Thread
It has been non-stop family stuff for the last 2 weeks. I'm on a bit of family overload. Activities scheduled all day, every day, and I've hardly been home.
The last of the family goes home on Sunday. So, I'm hoping to get back on track Monday. I've signed up for 2 spinning classes next week, and I have a training session. Hopefully I'll get a couple more gym workouts in, too.
I'm ready for those LAZY days of Summer......View Thread
I got my daughter an alarm clock when she was around 5. She hated it when I woke her up, but would jump right out of bed when the alarm clock went off. I don't know why it made such a difference, I'm just glad it did! View Thread
I agree with you, and would trust the teachers more than family members trying to be "helpful" with their advice.
Glad you have a plan that you and the teachers are happy with!View Thread
Really, it was not that awkward to do. And, I'm really glad that I have started the conversation with her.
Starting a few years ago, I would make a big deal of having "girl talk" with both DDs. They think it's really fun. Sometimes it will be me with both girls, or just one-on-one. It's usually right before bed time, DH will go downstairs, and we will lay in bed and have our girl talk. I think having that established helped, too.View Thread
I thought it was time. She had heard the word sex before, but wasn't sure what it meant. Plus, she had come up with her own ideas of how babies were made, and I wanted to straighten that out.
I'm glad that I did it. She is the type where we will talk about something, but she will need a few days to process it. I didn't go into detail about all the changes her body will make, but will before school starts up this fall. (I know some girls started their periods when I was in 3rd grade, and I don't want her to be taken by surprise.)
I expected to be all nervous about it, but, surprisingly, I wasn't. Phew!View Thread
I remember having mine sealed as a kid, too.View Thread
Yesterday was bittersweet. I realized it was the last day Elizabeth and I had together, just us. I wanted to cry almost as badly as her first day of Kindergarten.
Today, I'm just excited for Summer vacation to start! I asked them what they wanted to do this afternoon (they only have a half day today). Emily said she just wanted to lay around on her bed this afternoon. If that doesn't prove she is growing up, I don't know what would!!!!!!View Thread
Both girls are on Zyrtec. Emily takes the full adult pill, Elizabeth takes the children's liquid. I haven't noticed any side effects. It did, however, take a long time for it to totally kick in. It took about a month to really see an improvement.
I hope the Allegra helps!View Thread

C A T H A R S I SPolaris is a confident, determined guide, that all too often likes to give emotional advice that goes catastrophically wrong. While she may be an ace in the navigation field, navigating personalities is her weak point. With sweetheart Saturn as her co-navigator, she constantly blurts out rude statements that create friction between the two, and sometimes disrupts the accuracy of Catharsis' destination. Over time however, Aris feels a motherly connection to Saturn, despite her frustrations.
Polaris' figure fits her part as the ships guide: a strong, tall, commanding figure. This prominent figure is brushed with a touch of beauty with her freckled face and fiery red hair. Her pale blue eyes are mistaken as icy quite often, but are truly sympathetic. She spends her days attempting to figure out everyone around her, and when that inevitably fails, she falls into her study of the stars.

Talk about dark sided
There's Christian and then there's extremists and i'm curious,what kind of Christian would yell at the kids about how sinful she thinks their family is,insulting them and their parents and probably scaring the hell out of them in the process and then yelling at them to get out their own house???
It said it would air on NOV 2 8:00 est on fox
Don't know if it is different from other states. I live in NYC
If you have heard and watched the actions of Christ
which means that she is a psychopath or posesed?

Caterpillar Inc. on Nov. 30 inked a contract to acquire JCS Co. Ltd., a South Korea-based manufacturer that makes seals for machines that move on crawler tracks, such as bulldozers and hydraulic excavators. The company is a subsidiary of Jinsung T.E.C. Co. Ltd., which already supplies rollers, idlers and metal-faced seals to Peoria, Ill.-based Cat. JCS would provide Cat with "proprietary technology" to build "highly engineered" seals and would be its first factory in South Korea, Cat says. The deal, the terms of which were not disclosed, is expected to close in early 2010.

Now I get a least 1 message a day asking for help, where to get started.
Most of what I know I learned from here http://www.xfactordev.net. There are some really good tutorials.
There is also some source code for xinvaders on this site. I read this to understand a bit.
If you have done anything in directx before then you have no problem. It is the same.
If you are new to directx then don't bother with the XBOX YET!!
Just code stuff in the directx on your PC, it much quicker.
This is a site good for this http://www.xbdev.net/ for both Xbox & PC tutorials.
Start with the PC stuff at the beginning with the most simple tutorial.
Understand it before you move on, it will make you life easier later on. Trust me :-)
Google search for loads more http://www.google.co.....ctx tutorials
nexe & andypick are both good sites for the PC. Use them.
In the XDK itself, there are loads of examples, and they are good to play with.
X:\Program Files\MS Xbox SDK\Samples\Xbox\Graphics\Tutorials
Three weeks ago is the first time I have started anything in Directx.
And I have almost finished two games. You must start simple. Don't start thinking you going to code QUAKE4, you are not. Think of a simple game and try.
I have 10 year of C programming, almost no C++. Not a lot of programming on the PC.
No maths, so a lot of the time I get very lost in what is going on.
It will take a long time, a lot of frustrations. But it can also be a lot of fun.
I started badly as I never used the XDK examples/XTL framework.
Use it!!
Edit: Visual Basic is a no no for XBOX, if you aim is to code on the xbox then you will never be able to code with Visual Basic.
Good luck and here are the links:
Fr*shgloop - wishi's site, with source code
xfactordev - one of the best but not updated anymore
Freakdave made a good comment, we are talking DirectX + C, but what maybe is a good step is SDL + C
I would think it is a lot easier to get started. I found DirectX fun and I had been wanting to learn it.
SDL has been around for a long while. There is a lot of good games + scores out there to play with.
PS maybe someone can add stuff to explain the debug bios??

Lee libraries stocking steamy novel 'Fifty Shades of Grey' while Collier keeps it off bookshelves
A risque best-seller is nowhere to be found in Collier County's libraries. In Lee County, hundreds of patrons are lining up to read it.
Sheldon Kaye, director of the Lee County library system, said more than 500 people are on the library's wait list for "Fifty Shades of Grey," an erotic novel by E.L. James.
Kaye said the decision to buy multiple copies of the book — the first in a trilogy — wasn't a difficult one.
"This trilogy was unexpected but it was so enthusiastically received by the reading public," he said. "I've heard that libraries ... are pulling it, and I would be the last person to comment on that but I think that most of us would come to the conclusion that the book is extremely popular and not all that explicit."
Marilyn Matthes, director of Collier County's library system, said library officials made the decision not to buy copies of the book because they did not feel it fit with the county's collection development policy.
The book, Matthes said, didn't follow the traditional publishing path, thus there were few critical reviews or prepublication information before the book came out. Library staff discussed whether the book — which tops the New York Times best-seller list this week — had literary value or was considered a piece of artistic work, before deciding not to purchase it. But Matthes said that decision isn't set in stone.
"We make these decisions all the time, whether we buy book A or book B," Matthes said. "We have a limited amount of funds that we have available ... but we will continue to evaluate the need to purchase the book, while balancing the budget with those needs."
The library has received about 10 written requests to get the book and several people have asked in passing if the library planned to carry it.
"Fifty Shades of Grey" started as fan fiction to Stephanie Meyer's Twilight series and quickly developed a cultlike following of her own.
The romance between main characters Anatasia Steele and Christian Grey is surprising because of its unconventional nature: Grey asks Steele to sign a contract, and she agrees to be his "submissive" and to partake in a range of erotic activities.
Deborah Caldewll-Stone, deputy director of the American Library Association's office for intellectual freedom, said libraries across the country are weighing whether to acquire the book. Caldwell-Stone said the book is controversial because it deals with sexual issues, is explicitly erotic, and has been classified as "mommy porn."
Still, Caldwell-Stone said it's rare that books for adults such as "Fifty Shades of Grey" are challenged.
"Libraries have been collecting romances and erotica for a while; even classics contain this kind of depiction," she said.
The Palm Beach Post on Tuesday reported the Brevard County library system pulled 19 copies of the book from the shelves after the library services director called it porn. The library staff is reviewing the selection process and whether it should be returned to shelves.

Miami-Dade Making History on Same-Sex Marriage
The Miami-Dade County Courthouse sits in the heart of Downtown, Miami. It's construction fences, lawyers with nifty suits, judges in robes, bailiffs on guard, and cafeterias brewing coffee makes up this area. Today was different. Circuit Court Judge Sarah Zabel was conducting a hearing that can possibly change the future of same-sex marriages in Florida and even throughout the whole nation. "Case number 14- 1661-CA-01!" is shouted. It's a suit against Harvey Ruvin, the Miami Dade Clerk of Court, who denied marriage licenses to six same-sex couples. They brought upon this case to have their marriage licenses granted but were unfortunately denied due to the current Florida ban on same-sex marriages. This created a rally for those against and those for it. The area around the courthouse was now swarmed with media trucks and crowds chanting and holding signs and banners in support of their beliefs. On the way up through the Miami-Dade County Courthouse and into the courtroom, it's filled over capacity like a can of sardines. Stickers saying "Respect my vote" with an American flag are worn by those against same-sex marriage and handmade signs with colorful banners are wielded by those for it. It was obvious that those against were supported by an organization or persons with economical wealth and influence and those for were simply there because of their true beliefs. The politics behind the scenes may not completely surface but we know one thing: this case and those behind it is history in the making.
