As the closing arguments take place in the George Zimmerman trial, at the heart of the prosecution's argument is that racial profiling of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin was the root of the cause of his death.
In closing arguments, prosecutor Bernie de la Rionda told jurors in Sanford, Fla., "A teenager is dead. He is dead through no fault of his own." He said Martin was killed "because a man made assumptions" -- and "because his assumptions were wrong."
Paula Deen's use of the N-word has cost her a show on the Food Network and a number of paid sponsorships but it also ignited conversations about racism across the country. Is she being treated too harshly?
Last week, results of a new poll by Rasmussen Reports says more Americans view blacks as racists than whites or Hispanics.
Consider the source: FROM RASMUSSEN: Thirty-seven percent (37%) of American Adults think most black Americans are racist, according to a new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey. Just 15% consider most white Americans racist, while 18% say the same of most Hispanic Americans. (To see survey question wording, click here.)
On Thursday night at 10:00 p.m., Fox 2's Huel Perkins hosted Let it Rip: The subject of racism.
On the panel:
Robert Sedler, Professor of Law at Wayne State University and someone who has experience with civil cases.
Darrell Dawsey, journalist with Deadline Detroit.
Gregory Murray, journalist with Macomb Daily.
Fox 2 legal analyst Charlie Langton takes the show on the road and gets Fox 2 viewer feedback on the subject of race and the controversial results of the recent Rasmussen Report poll. He'll be on the couch too to add his voice to the conversation.

Coverage of the Boston Marathon bombings has been equally breathless and embarrassing.
Spot reports from media outlets who once prided themselves on accuracy and reliability have been little better than Twitter feeds.
Much will change in America after two Chechen brothers repaid the gift of asylum from their war-ravaged homeland by killing innocent bystanders including an eight-year-old boy.
Were they part of an Islamic terror cell? Were they bitter because they couldn't find work? (My own relatives can't find work. They don't kill.) Are immigration laws too lax? Can we count on more intrusions into our civil liberties because two madmen turned their frustrations outward? Will there be an anti-Islamic backlash?
I'm sure all of this will be discussed ad nauseam once the manhunt for Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, 19, has run its course. (Update- 19-year-old in custody) His brother Tamerlan, 26, was shot dead by police on Friday.
Until then, I simply quote the suspects' uncle, Russian Tsarni, also a Muslim refugee from Chechnya, a war-torn separatist region in southern Russia.
Tsarni, his face seething with indignation, said on his front lawn: "I respect this country. I love this country."
Then he put it all into perspective, something no talking head has managed to do. His nephews, Tsarni said, were "losers not being able to settle themselves."

DETROIT (WJBK) -- Life is about to get brighter for residents in several Detroit neighborhoods as needed upgrades to the lighting system are underway. Work began Friday at two pilot areas chosen by the Detroit Public Lighting Authority to get roughly 5,000 new street lights before the end of the year. The East Side Demonstration Project boundaries are 8 Mile, Kelly Road, Hoover, and Houston Whittier. The west side boundaries are McNichols, Southfield road, Finkle and Telegraph.This is the first step in a three-year $160 million revamping of the city's antiquated lighting system. Right now there are about 88,000 street lights in Detroit. About half of them don't work. And by the end of the three-year project they hope to whittle the number needed down to about 45,000. Here's what dignitaries had to say about today's first step. "We want to make sure that these lights are on so people feel safe and people start to have pride in their neighborhoods and their communities," said Detroit Mayor Dave Bing." "It's not going to happen overnight, but when it does it will be a long-term solution, not another band-aid on a problem that has existed in our city for 40 years," said Maureen Stapleton, chair of the Public Lighting Authority. "There has been a 40-year disinvestment in public lighting that brings us to the problems we are having today.""They want to do this right the first time," Mike Moriary, president at Overhead Lines, LLC. "They're taking their time, getting the engineering right, finding the right materials, the right supplies, and really giving a quality product."The light bulbs used in the program are about 150 watts of high-pressured sodium that project out further than the prior lights.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Toast almonds until crisp, lightly browned, and fragrant, about 7 minutes. Remove from oven and set aside. Meanwhile, place quinoa in a fine sieve and rinse under cold running water until the water runs clear; drain well.
In a medium saucepan, heat 2 teaspoons olive oil over medium heat. Add yellow pepper, garlic, scallions, and red-pepper flakes; cook until the pepper is crisp-tender, about 5 minutes.
Stir in quinoa, thyme, 1 cup water, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook 7 minutes. Stir in zucchini, cover, and cook until quinoa is tender but not mushy, 5 to 8 minutes longer. Remove the saucepan from heat.
Stir in celery, almonds, and remaining 2 teaspoons oil, season with salt, and fluff with a fork. Cool to room temperature before packing into two containers and refrigerating. When ready to eat, squeeze lime over salad, if desired. Serve with additional lime wedge and thyme, if desired.
A grain is a seed! Might want to correct that on the page/website. I love quinoa and thought this was delicious!Reply
Turned out really well, Didn't have peppers though. We used Thai corriander and lime dressing as we had no fresh limes. i will definately make it again!Reply
This was delicious! I added julienned carrots and sliced zucchini, cilantro and used vegetarian chicken broth. My family ate it up fast.Reply
This was delicious! I took another reviewer's recommendation and used less water than indicated - this was a good idea, because even so there was a little water at the bottom. I also did not add the extra oil at the end. Other than that, I followed the recipe exactly, and it was a huge hit!Reply
Uh, didn't turn out quite like recipe states. Mixture needs to be drained after step 3. Next time I will use less water, since peppers tend to render moisture. Otherwise, good, healthy, tasty, salad for summer.Reply
could i use lentils in this instead of quinoa?Reply
could i use lentils in this instead of quinoa?Reply
could i use lentils instead of quinoa?Reply
Excellent! I did not have zucchini so I prepared everything as directed without the zucchin. When cooled to room temp I chopped a peeled and de-seeded cucumber in place of the zucchini....Very tasty.Reply
Made this last night and my whole family loved it. I made it as written but served it warm. My college kids want the recipe to take back to school with them.Reply
I made this tonight for my lunch tomorrow and couldn't stop snacking on it!! YUM!! I prefer to try a recipe exactly as written the first time I make but due to a few kitchen misshaps from a very tired girl....the slivered almonds got burnt, I forgot to buy thyme and used italian seasoning instead, added one yellow and one red pepper, added a green and yellow squash because I love them and left out the red pepper flakes because I simply forgot :) All in all in turned out delish anyway.Reply
This is a dish I make often; however, I leave out the extra oil at the end. It's good both warm and cold.Reply
This is one of my go-to's. I make it without the celery, no extra oil at the end, and sometimes with rosemary if I don't have thyme. Then I add half an avocado, diced after I warm it up. It is so good.Reply
Where can we get the cute lunch tin?Reply
I actually enjoy this dish hot, I'll eat it as soon as I'm done cooking. I find the flavor a bit more rich.Reply
Does anyone happen to know if the calorie counts for the recipes provided on this site are for single serving or the entire dish...just curious. Thanks!Reply
Sorry, forgot to mention, it looks obvious but just in case , that the quinoa has to be room temperature before adding the fresh vegetables and then you can refrigerate...Reply
I also use quinoa following the instructions to cook (only in water or bouilon) and then add cut in fine dice, tomatoes,cucumber,fresh parsley and /or cilantrocut very thin, plus mint if you like plus olive oil and lime juice salt and peper...you also can add two Tbsps of quinoa to your vegetable soup..do not forget to rinse well otherwise it will taste bitter....You also may use it instead of rice, cooked with a little bit of garlic and salt......A gift from the Incas to the world !!!Reply
this was incredibly easy to make
and everyone loved it. i served it at a
bazaar i put on with crispbread, mini tomatoes,
and marinated cheese-biggest hit!
im on suzanne somers diet, "get skinny on fabulous food" and believe me it is, and most of Martha's recipes can be converted. dont have to count calories and all that other stuff. just eat the right comination of foods. Have lost 58 pounds so far in just a few months. It's a go kids, I hated weight watchers because of all the counting. and I was on theirs 3 diff. times. Liked drkristen comments and where she is from. P.O. hope you read suzanne book.Reply
This was absolutely delicious. I omitted the extra oil at the end (to make it slightly healthier) and the celery (not a big fan). The lime at the end really made the flavors "pop"!Reply
I may seem like a lot of fat, but it's good fat, as long as you don't heat it too high to where it smokes (and therefore turns to "trans-fat"). There was actually a study in the NEJM recently that Mediterranean-type diets (high in omega-3 fats) were actually better for weight loss, insulin response and heart health compared to low-carb and low-fat diets. The almonds and olive oil give us those omega-3s we need. The butternut quinoa pie is still my favorite quinoa recipe - check it out!Reply
One way to help cut the calories and fat is to steam fry. Cut the oil in half and substitue the other half with water. Works just as well espcially in a non-stick pan.Reply
The nutritive info is for what amount of salad.? Lots of calories and fat?Reply
As a vegan, I eat quite a bit of quinoa. I absolutely love it! And since it provides all the essential amino acids, as well as various other nutrients, I feel so healthy and vibrant afterwards. This recipe is yummy. I did, however, use veg broth in place of water, added black beans and a red bell pepper, which added some wonderful color to the dish. Fresh chopped cilantro would also be a valid addition.Reply
mmm sounds yummy and great for work lunch boxes for me and my fiance. Will let you know how it turns out :)Reply

82-year-old Marjorie Caruthers was a mother and grandmother and a longtime resident of Farmington Hills. She just signed off on the sale of her home on Monday, but Tuesday morning her body was discovered in a pond in her subdivision off Nine Mile Road near Halstead."Such a sweet lady. She would do anything for any one of us," said son Brad Caruthers. "It just doesn't make any sense why she'd want to give up on life so soon."He just saw his mom on Sunday and she seemed happy to be moving to an assisted living facility. She didn't like being alone and was in the process of packing up all of her belongings. She did deeply missed her husband of 50 years. Chuck died in 2004, but Brad never thought his mother would take her own life -- a possibility Farmington Hills police are looking into since there were no obvious signs of foul play.
Farmington Hills police say Marjorie's jacket with her medical I. D. in the pocket was found along the shoreline. Her body was about 20 feet out.
"Why would you get out of the house with just shoes and a coat on over pajamas?" questioned Brad.Marjorie had been having trouble sleeping and may have been on sleep medication. Could that have played a role in her death? The investigation is ongoing, but for relatives and neighbors who knew and loved her, none of it makes sense. She was active, seemed happy and was supposed to be at a luncheon Tuesday afternoon.
"She was very happy to move into the new place and never expect it," said neighbor Al Granata. "Beautiful lady, beautiful lady.""I just wish that she could've called and said, 'I'm done.' You know, she could've had help," said Brad.

Life and Death: Art by Shonti Breisch
Life and Death
by Shonti Breisch
Reception: Dec 8, 4pm
Artist's Talk: Dec 8, 3:30pm
Artist's Statement
I am very aware of the macro world, all of its creatures as well as its importance to life as a whole. I pay attention to the small details and explore how they interact with the elements and the significant role it plays as a piece of a larger entity. My awareness must come from my background in science and my interest in microbial life. I don't always see the big picture but rather fragments of it that appear in my photographs. I did research with halophiles, salt loving bacteria, that are one of the only thriving organisms in the north arm of the Great Salt Lake. Due to its high percent salinity, around 27%, halophiles are an organism that have adapted to its hyper-saline environment. Even the brine shrimp and brine flys that are able to live in south arm are unable to survive. Because I was researching a living organism from the North Arm I had also taken interest in all the creatures that are unable to survive out there and how they are returned to the earth by becoming encrusted in salt as they decompose. Bio
Shonti Breisch was born and raised in Salt Lake City, Utah. She attended Westminster College and received a BFA in Photography with minors in Chemistry and Music in 2011. Shonti has enjoyed all types of mediums as well as other artistic expressions including music as a string bass player and modern dance. However, her primary art medium is photography. Photography has given her a way to share with others what she sees in the world. The small things that others tend to pass right by without giving them a second glance. Her viewfinder is aimed mostly at the macro world that surrounds us which ties in with her background in the sciences and research in biology. Shonti enjoys exploring how interconnected science and art are and how neither of them can exist without the other.

Gravity was written/directed by Alfonso Cuaron and stars George Clooney and Sandra Bullock:
I think you can figure out the plot pretty quickly. Let me say this, I'm not a big fan of Sandra Bullock. I have been pretty vocal about my belief that she should not have won the Oscar for The Blindside (Gabourey Sidibe or Carey Mulligan were more deserving). It may be the fact that I don't like her much as an actress that I am already annoyed by her in the trailer. If the movie contains much more of her faking panic and gasping, than the trailer already does, I may walk out. On the other hand, I love Clooney and Cuaron as the writer/director is a big plus.
Cuaron has written Y Tu Mama Tambien, Paris, je t'aime and Children of Men among others. He also directed those three and I recommend checking them all out, especially Children of Men.
Gravity is scheduled to be released on October 4th, 2013.

There are numerous benefits that you stand to gain by using home alarm systems. There are different types of fire alarms, burglar alarms and carbon monoxide alarms. Various types of home alarm can be referenced using this comparison. Installing a home security camera is costly but the benefits that one gets from them exceeds the cost. Most firms install these systems which offer some people of mind for anyone that owns them.
Protection from intruders
Home alarm systems chase away intruders. When the system is installed, the home security monitoring firm will post a sign outside the home indicating that the property is being protected by the firm. This notice alone usually discourages intruders from committing criminal activities. When an alarm is activated, it sets off a loud sound which scares away intruders. The alarm notifies the homeowner and people inside when a door or a window has been opened. If the alarm is armed and a problem has been detected, the system is also programmed to inform the monitoring firm. The company is able to see the area of the house that is being compromised such as the door or window. The firm is first going to call the home to make sure that indeed there is a problem. In the event the alarm was set off accidentally, the firm notes and will not take any further action. If there is indeed a problem, the police will be informed immediately.
Fire and carbon monoxide alarms
Most alarm systems also offer the benefits of alerting people in the event of a fire or carbon monoxide leak. Despite the fact that most stated demand the presence of smoke detectors in a home, carbon monoxide detectors are not mandatory. This is an odorless gas that if breathed in, can cause very serious medical complications leading to death. Home systems save peoples' lives by offering these two protections.
Reduces cost and increases value
Installing this device is going to reduce your insurance premiums. Homeowners that have the equipment pay up to twenty percent less for their insurance. Besides saving money, the system is also able to increase the resale value of your home and attract potential buyers.
Security cameras are going to show proof of who, when and how the robbery was conducted. It offer a means that you can remotely keep watch of all your property. These cameras are independent of the influx of people, darkness and even rapid movement. The idea behind these cameras is to offer a visual proof of activities taking place.

Back to Dressing up, Dressing down
From the 1890s, the tailor-made suit transformed the working woman's wardrobe, providing a range of practical but smart outfits for a selection of activities, and reflecting women's new-found career and travel opportunities. Although this 2-piece suit in fine red facecloth was by no means a cheap purchase, it was not worn by a very wealthy women, but rather by someone middle class for visiting town, perhaps for Church or committee type work or for social calls. It has a long jacket, fitting over the hips, and with masculine style revers and collar, in a style known as "Newmarket", with a matching full-length skirt. For display, the suit has been accessorised with an appropriate hat of the same date.
This outfit is on view in the Gallery of Costume in an exhibition called "A Suit of her Own", focusing on the new avenues available to women in sport, work, and travel from the late nineteenth century to about 1914, and illustrating the range of new garments developed to facilitate these activities, usually by male tailors working with woollen cloth, rather than female dress-makers using lighter fabrics. Four other outfits from the display are shown below, as is the pattern for a woman's jacket of the 1890s (like the brown woollen suit), as well as a Punch cartoon showing a cyclist in a matching tweed suit.

This is ALL we need to know about YOM KIPPUR
As always, I am blown away by the Rabbi's ability to teach a class, without missing any important information, in 6 minutes. It was so interesting, informative, and held my me emotionally captive.. I hardly breathed for fear I would miss something. I actually played it a few times, this way I could feel I understood every nuance, and detail of this Holy of Holy Days. Rabbi Goldhar, this is typically your wonderful handiwork, being able to explain in a thoroughly fascinating, appealing, and most motivating, manner. You are GREAT! This is not an exaggeration. I enjoy everything I have ever seen, or read, that I have witnessed. Thank you so much. I wish you and all your loved ones, a sweet New Year, and I hope you had an easy fast. May you continue to enjoy G-D'S Blessings, for many generations to come.

Oh, and Happy Thanksgiving everyone!! I just want to let you all know that I do love each of you and this has been a wonderful little corner of the internet for me.
That is so weird. I was posting that article and was on the preview screen and realized it was double-quoted so I was going to fix it and then somebaby hit a key and I lost the whole thing. I was going to try again but ran out of time in between putting sweet potatoes in the oven and getting breakfast for the twins and coordinating MIL's visit. I even refreshed the page and my post wasn't there. I can't believe it ended up appearing after all that.
I read last week about inherited childhood diabetes and how children prone to it have likely had cow's milk before 6 months old and are lactose intolerant.
Apparently the initial testing results are over-whelming in favor of this theory.
Me: Julie-46 DH: Kelly-52 DD: Rhianna-17 DS: Gage-He's 3!
I love you guys, too; you're all awesome!
Wow! From the pictures I've seen, you look younger. Yeah..but 33 for him, with still no motivation to move up...that's a shame. It took an opportunity dropping into my lap for me to think about putting myself out there though...maybe he's just aiming low because he doesn't see any other opportunity.
(I have a business venture coming up...I will talk about it when I'm less tipsy though LOL)
Or maybe I don't know what I'm talking about...a couple glasses of wine will do that to you.
How was everyone's Thanksgiving? Mine went really well. I haven't cooked a whole turkey in years and it was slightly dry but I would rather it be dry than raw, right? It was beautiful, too. Nice and brown all around! Mom and her friend came with birthday presents for Josh then my SIL and her boyfriend came for dessert. It was so nice. Then Josh and DH took off to my inlaws and told me to relax. Don't have to tell me twice!
We just got home from my dad's. It was fun. But sad. Everything is just so different without mom.
My dad and I enjoy each other's company a lot though and he's so great with the kids. We played with the kids and chatted all day while dbf layed on the couch in and out of sleep. My dad told me a few weeks ago that him and my mom used to talk about how annoying that was that whenever we come over dbf just plops himself in front of the tv and doesn't help with the kids. Not that they minded because they love them dearly but it's just rude. Any time the kids need anything he just sits there and lets someone else do it. I mean, story of my life of course but you'd think when you're visiting your inlaws you'd not just expect them to take over for you.
I tried to make some comments to him concerning that today like, "Dude, why do you just lay on the couch all day?" and he said, "It's Thanksgiving. That's what Thanksgiving is all about, laying on the couch and watching football." And when I mentioned that my dad and I didn't lay on the couch all day because we were hanging with the kids he said yes, he know. He was "letting my dad enjoy the kids".
A part of me just really wants to tell him straight up that it's something that my parents discussed at one point but I'm sure my dad never meant for me to say anything to him so I feel like I'd be violating his trust.
I understand Bridget!
DH was great today...He kept Josh busy while I cooked a few things and then he cleaned up most of it and Josh piped up in front of my mom, "Daddy's doing the dishes because it's his job!" I was like "Shhh!" and he redeemed himself by saying "Mommy does a lot of other things though" It was so funny!
I want to hear about Chrissy's day...who all showed up?
I actually had an okay Thanksgiving at my aunt and uncle's house. I was feeling sad about DH not being around for the holidays but my cousin showed up and her husband, who is a truck driver, had been sent off to Seattle and she was also without a husband so I had some company. Everyone was very nice about it for both of us. I had cousins there from both sides of the family who had never met each other and it went very well.
Me (40) DH (47) & furbabies * m/c 7/08 4/12 11/12
Bridget, my bil always, without fail, spends every single party asleep on a couch. I don't know why my sister tolerates it, and it's kind of a running joke. I have a series of pictures of him asleep on couches at parties. He doesn't drink and doesn't stay up all night, so that's not it. I guess on the plus side, he doesn't really like parties but he'll go for my sister's sake (she loves them), he'll be her designated driver, and he won't get in her way while she mingles about the room. And they don't have children so it's not like he's failing her except in the looking debonair department.
Gwenn, Bridget, I wish you didn't have to spend Thanksgiving missing people.
Chrissy, I too am anxious to hear how yours went.
I finally, after two weeks of being too sick to work, and even worse, being too sick to be a good mom, decided I still wasn't showing any signs of improvement, decided to call my doctor and I got an antibiotic today. I've been pretty much brain-dead and half zombie for a while. Hopefully I'll be able to work by Monday.
My MIL decided to come up for Thanksgiving but for some reason came Tuesday through Friday instead of through the weekend. Not only that, but she decided to spend Tuesday night in San Francisco and spend all day Wednesday there doing touristy stuff. So she spent a few hours with the twins yesterday evening, and then all morning with them and dh, and then had Thanksgiving with all of us and about 15 other people. And she's leaving mid-day tomorrow but doesn't want to do anything, and she's upset about not having enough time with us. I think she might have planned it a little differently.
DH falls asleep at social gatherings. He doesn't deliberately go to the couch and lie down but he'll doze off in his chair just listening to us talk. He has a bit of social anxiety I think, and I think that's like his defense mechanism. Even when we don't have to travel it happens. I caught him dozing here yesterday when my mom was here.
I fall asleep after a few glasses of wine wherever I am! My bil is like that with his kids though and it annoys everyone. Wondering how Chrissy's Thanksgiving went too!
I can see dozing off here and there. I don't know. Maybe I'm a little resentful because sneaking a nap in whenever I feel like it hasn't been option for me in, oh, about five years.
My dad sent home all the leftover turkey with me along with the carcass, plus all the fresh veggies I have make me really stoked for making loads of soup. I can freeze some right? I am currently in preparation to try making a freezing a bunch of meals and plan to shop on saturday to get all my ingredients. Lydia, you do that right? The once a month cooking? Any tips?
Happy belated thanksgiving!
Yes Bridget, you can freeze it now or later. I have a frozen carcass and miscellaneous stuff waiting for soup...
I cooked dinner for 15 yesterday and had a great time. Now all my boys, Gus included, have a cold.
Anyone ever had a sick young baby and have advice? Sigh. Oscar didn't get sick until he was much older.
Oh, Stacy! How sick? Soren got a little sick when we went to Wyoming at just over a month, I guess about the same age as Gus. The rest of us got really sick, and Soren mostly got a little sniffly and unhappy, but he'd already started the colic so the unhappiness was nothing new. Soren is now on his second or third cold--the twins weren't sick until about a year old, and I think such is the life of a younger sibling.
All I did with Soren is keep squirting breastmilk in his nose. He never got a fever (not that I could really check it, because we were traveling, but he didn't seem hot), didn't have any trouble breathing, but if he did I would have taken him in.
It is amazing how when you don't have any control over boogers, they just build up and build up and can pretty much block the nose.
I don't do once-a-month cooking. I have frozen foods in the past, but not on a regular basis and not in bulk. Right now, I don't even have room for ice cubes because my entire freezer is full of breastmilk. I think I had about 8 casseroles frozen when Soren was born, big enough for two meals' worth, and then dh decided he need to go on this low-carb diet and most of them were not acceptable.
Pastas, soups, and rice dishes are pretty easy to freeze.
I froze the turkey carcass and I'm probably making a turkey pot pie with the carved leftovers today.
Yay for dh taking Josh to his parents! That's great!
Your dad, on the other hand, sounds like the perfect man. I'm so glad you have him in your life....and it's very telling that your parents noticed and talked about how your dbf is with the kids. imo, it shows how remarkable they are because they never said anything to him themselves.
Lesson for me in the future---if my son-in-law is a lazy bum, do NOT come screeching into the living about when he's going to get up and help with his kids. That would be hard.
Mine was great---one of the funniest Thanksgivings ever because of my brother Tim and Conner. omg-those two are quite a pair! Tim loves to pick on mom and he was really going at it when Conner piped up and mimicked what Tim was saying. When it got to them imitating my mother's laugh, I had to sprint for the bathroom and my poor mom did wet her pants a little bit from laughing so hard. I had tears pouring out of my eyes...it was too funny.

Glad your Thanksgiving was good Chrissy! Whatever happened with Thomas and his family though? (that's the kid's name, right?)
I forgot to put foil over the breast at some point, which the Butterball directions call for. I was supposed to do it around the time company came, and I got caught up in too much other stuff.
I must have forgot to post, but Thomas's family decided not to come this year after all because his sister (that lives in Long Island) decided to come up. It's been planned for quite a while that Bobbie would have dinner at their house. Thursday morning, Thomas's mom said that she didn't want Bobbie over after all because she wanted it to be just the family. Bobbie was disappointed, but considering the news I thought she took it very well. I'm sure I would have been crying about it when I was her age. Later, the mother changed her mind and let Bobbie come over after all. I'm sure I don't like that woman one bit.
Bobbie said they're very strange. The parents serve the kids--even the adult kids. They can't even get their 2nd helpings themselves and have to wait for the parents to finish their 1st plates, then get them what they want. They also prepare certain dishes for the adults only that the 'kids' can't have...like green bean casserole. What's wrong with making enough for everybody to have some? I hate people that act like the adults are somehow better and more deserving that the children...and heck, we're not even talking about children. Thomas is 19 and his sister is 20-something and even they had to be waited on and couldn't have certain dishes.
Yeah, I'm certain I dislike his family very much. I do like Thomas a lot though, so I wouldn't ever say anything about his family to him.
Last edited by missychrissy; 11-26-2010 at 03:16 PM.
That is strange . I have never heard of adults serving adult "kids" that is weird.
We had a great Thanksgiving. Only our little family and an old friend of mine who used to be my roommate came. He doesn't have any family in town and found me on Facebook and so I invited him. He is really silly because he told me he was gay and that he hoped I would still be his friend and not be a homophobe. I actually laughed at him. He was my roommate for 2 years and I always thought he was gay, which is why he was my roommate. But we had a great time and he is still a riot and has had an interesting 10 years since I last saw him. I had just found out I was PG with Ky before we lost touch.
Oh, and Ashley that is too bad about your new guy friend. I will share though that my dad who is a recovering addict did tell me that when people get sober or off of drugs that they are basically at the same age level that they were when they initially started using so he may mature, but I dont' know if you would want to wait.

Our celebration of National Sewing Month continues with another great Moda Bake Shop Basics tutorial today.
Hi Moda Bake Shop readers, it's Amanda from Material Girl Quilts and I'm back today to share a few tips on what I do to create perfectly matched points in my piecing. Now we all know that none of us are perfect, so don't expect your quilts to be either!
Two of the most important things to do when you want matching points is to make sure that you (1) cut accurately and (2) maintain an accurate 1/4" seam in your piecing. I cannot stress to you enough how important these steps are and how they will make your sewing life much more enjoyable :) If you struggle in these areas, I suggest you practice here first.
Ways to improve your cutting:
- Purchase and maintain a quality rotary cutter (this means replacing your blade frequently!)
- If you use multiple sized rulers, I suggest you find the ones you like the best and stick with that brand. Some of the brands can be off just a bit from each other and that will make a difference in your piecing. My choice in rulers is Omnigrid. I have all different shapes and sizes.
- Measure twice and cut once!
- Use a 1/4" foot on your sewing machine. I have one and it makes all the difference in the world for me.
- If you don't have a 1/4" foot, try placing blue painter's tape along your machine marking the 1/4" line.
- Take it slow! If you can't seem to maintain a straight seam, just slow it down a bit.
I ALWAYS pin the seams when piecing half square triangles. If I don't, they just don't match as well.
There may be two ways that your half square triangles will meet up between rows. One is when the points are on the same side of the seam as shown below. Just take care when nesting your seams that those points line up and pin in place.
The result can be seen below.
The other way your half square triangles may meet between the rows is when the points are on opposite sides of the seam. Once again, take care to match the points when nesting the seams and pin in place.
