Nunez recalled to be 26th man for Game 2
MINNEAPOLIS -- The Twins recalled infielder Eduardo Nunez from Triple-A Rochester before Game 2 of Thursday's doubleheader as the club's 26th man on the roster.
Under a new rule this year, if a doubleheader is scheduled the day after a postponed game, both clubs can call up a 26th player, but that player is only eligible for the second game. If the doubleheader is scheduled more than a day later than the postponed game, the 26th player is eligible to play in both games.
The Twins decided to go with Nunez, as they already have 13 pitchers on their roster and wanted a position player. Nunez was thrown right into the fire, starting at third base and batting seventh against the Blue Jays.
He was originally acquired from the Yankees for left-hander Miguel Sulbaran on April 7, and he has played in six games at Rochester, hitting .318 with a homer, a stolen base and three RBIs before being called up.
"He's been swinging good," Twins manager Ron Gardenhire said. "The weather has not been good over there, but he's been swinging good. He's been playing a little bit of third and shortstop. I think his problem is he hasn't been out on the field much, because he was out for about 10 days when we got him and just hasn't had any consistent time out there."
Nunez admitted it was a little strange entering the home clubhouse at Target Field for the first time after spending parts of four seasons with the Yankees.
"It's a little weird," Nunez said. "It's something new to me. I've never been on a new team before. But I'm glad I have a couple friends here, so I feel comfortable."
Nunez, 26, added that he is heading back to Rochester on Friday, but he hopes to be recalled again soon. The Twins still want him to get consistent playing time in Triple-A and work on his defense before he's called up again.
"I just want to do what I can do and play hard," Nunez said. "I want to do the same things I did with the Yankees. Play hard, bunt, steal a base. Just do my best."

Stephen Curry's 54-point performance in NYC headlines wild night in NBA

Stephen Curry will steal headlines, but he was far from the only story in the NBA on Wednesday night.
On a night when the Warriors' Curry erupted for 54 points in a loss to the Knicks, the Bucks' Monta Ellis hit a crazy game-winner to sink the Rockets; the Suns surprised the Spurs in overtime; the Grizzlies rallied from 25 down to beat the Mavericks for their eighth straight victory; and a Wizards television announcer made an unforgettable blunder on a last-second shot. Here's a roundup of a wild night around the league.
Stephen Curry drops 54 on Knicks
Curry scored 54 points in a 109-105 loss to the Knicks, setting the NBA's season high for points. He eclipsed Thunder forward Kevin Durant, who scored 52 points in an overtime win over the Mavericks on Jan. 18.
The fourth-year guard shot 18-for-28 (64.3 percent) from the field, hit a franchise-record 11 three-pointers in 13 attempts and went 7-of-7 from the free-throw line. Curry outscored his teammates 54-51 and made as many shots as them combined. He added seven assists, six rebounds and three steals in 48 minutes for the Warriors, who played without the suspended David Lee.
"Once I started seeing that 3-ball go down in transition, all sorts of spots on the floor, I knew it was going to be a good night," Curry told reporters.
The Associated Press noted that Curry scored the most points in a losing effort since the Lakers' Kobe Bryant had 58 in a loss to the Bobcats on Dec. 29, 2006. Curry's explosion came one night after he scored 38 points on 14-of-20 shooting from the field and 7-of-10 from three-point range in a 108-97 loss to Indiana. He's connected on 18-of-23 threes in his last two games.
Also of note from this game: Knicks center Tyson Chandler finished with 16 points and a career-high 28 rebounds.
Monta Ellis sinks Rockets
If not for Curry's outburst, Ellis might have earned more of Wednesday's spotlight for hitting a nutty game-winning three-pointer to complete his 27-point, 13-assist, six-steal night in Milwaukee's 110-107 victory at Houston. On the game's final possession, Ellis caught a pass from Brandon Jennings beyond the top of the key with one second left and fired a one-legged 27-footer that rolled around the rim and in.
"He makes those shots in practice and stuff, so it's funny," Bucks forward Larry Sanders told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel of Ellis, who, for his part, said he didn't want to go to overtime because "I was kind of winded" after playing 45 minutes.
The Bucks erased a 17-point first-quarter deficit and climbed out of a six-point hole in the last three minutes of the fourth quarter to deal a setback to the Rockets, who saw their lead over the Lakers for the No. 8 seed in the Western Conference shrink to 2½ games. Houston also blew a 17-point lead in Saturday's 105-103 loss at Washington.
Suns spoil Spurs' return home
The NBA's best home team played on its floor for the first time in 25 days and promptly lost to a 16-point underdog, thanks to some late-game heroics from a player averaging 3.5 points.
Wes Johnson made an improbable game-tying three-pointer to force overtime, and the Suns held the Spurs without a field goal in the extra period to pull off a 105-101 upset. Phoenix improved to 7-24 on the road and stopped San Antonio's 18-game home winning streak, which began on Dec. 1. The Spurs, who were coming off a nine-game road trip that included four games after the All-Star break, fell to 22-3 at the AT&T Center.
San Antonio led 100-97 with 3.7 seconds left in regulation when Manu Ginobili missed the second of two free throws. The Suns' Jermaine O'Neal rebounded and, without a timeout left to advance the ball, rifled a long pass to Johnson, who had managed to get free on the right wing. Johnson, who entered the game with 11 three-pointers in 38 attempts all season, nailed it at the buzzer to set up overtime. San Antonio shot 0-of-10 from the field in the five-minute OT.
"We kind of relaxed after such a long road trip," Ginobili told the San Antonio Express-News. "And this is what happens in the NBA when you don't play your best."
Grizzlies rally to keep streak alive
The Grizzlies overcame a 25-point deficit to stun the Mavericks 90-84 and extend their winning streak to eight games.
Dallas outscored Memphis 38-19 in the first quarter and led 51-26 with 5:25 left in the second quarter. But the Grizzlies responded with a 36-4 run, including a stretch of 24 unanswered points, 20 of which came at the start of the third quarter. That mind-boggling run put Memphis ahead 62-55 with four minutes to play in the third quarter -- a quarter in which the Mavericks scored five points.
The rally matched the Grizzlies' largest in franchise history. The team also came back from 25 points down to win in Portland on March 25, 2002.
"It was unbelievable,'' Memphis point guard Mike Conley told reporters. "I felt like we were floating above at another level. I've never seen us play so hard and do the things we were doing."
The win sets up a showdown of the NBA's two hottest teams Friday in Miami, where the Grizzlies will put their eight-game streak on the line against the Heat's 12-game run. Memphis sits fourth in the West, 1½ games behind the No. 3 Clippers.
'The dagger has been retracted'
The closing seconds of the Pistons' 96-95 win over the Wizards in Washington won't soon be forgotten, albeit for all the wrong reasons.
Trailing by one with 12 seconds remaining, Washington guard Bradley Beal attacked from the top of the key, opting to kick the ball out to the left wing rather than attempt a shot in traffic. The ball bounced around the perimeter with just seconds to go, eventually finding its way to Trevor Ariza, who launched a three-pointer from the left corner.
Ariza's shot hit nothing but net; unfortunately, though, it was the outside of the net, as the airballed attempt came up well short. Even more unfortunately, Wizards play-by-play broadcaster Steve Buckhantz thought the shot went through, screaming "Dagger!" to punctuate the game-winner that never actually happened.
"Ariza from the baseline for three and the Wizards with a miraculous comeback in Washington," Buckhantz said, as the Pistons celebrated and the Wizards trudged back toward their bench.
"The dagger has been retracted," Buckhantz eventually conceded.
UPDATE: Ariza's shot fooled Pistons play-by-play announcer George Blaha, too:

Q - What are Memory Cross cards made of and how durable are they?
A - The small Memory Cross cards are printed on 10 point coated board (think playing cards). The larger cards which measure 6 x 6 inches are printed on 100 lb. uncoated cover (think Hallmark card).

We've tested the larger cards to fold over 500 times. That being said it is still important for the cards to be folded properly. Most children can figure it out on their own but if you are giving them to 4 or 4 year olds we recommend that you show them how it works. If you do not know how they work, we've created a video that you can watch by clicking here.

The WEEKLY DEALS is a weekly digest email sent to readers signed up for the genre of your choice. This mailing uses a different sending engine than the Daily Deal itself, so some readers who miss the Daily Deal for whatever reason (spam filters, timing, vacations...) may get this mailing. (And if they get both, even better! we all know the data about how people often need to see things multiple times before they react...)
Mailing goes out EARLY on Wednesdays and covers that Wed until the next Wed. So if your deal is on a Tuesday only and you submit it the Monday before - that won't work for the weekly mailing. But if you submit on Monday for a Daily Deal on Tuesday, and your book is on sale Tues-Thurs, for example, then you're good - Daily Deal will go out on Tuesday and you'll be included in the Weekly Deals on Wed. showing the end of your sale on Thursday.
I'll create an ad for you that will run at the top of the Book Fair page - the page people are sent to after they enter the giveaway.
Not only will you get more exposure, but you can keep the ad!
Push a free, 99c or full price book - whatever you need promoting. Doesn't have to be the same book in the giveaway!

Exploring Causes of the Civil War – Part VII: Political Discord, Slavery, and the Fight for Political Control
This post continues a series on Exploring Causes of the Civil War. Other posts can be read by clicking on any of the following links: Part I: Introduction, Part II: Antebellum America, Part III: The Antebellum South, Part IV: The Antebellum North, Part V: The Rise of Sectional Disputes and Part VI: The Contribution of Constitutional Ambiguity.
Political discord represents yet another candidate for the war's cause. Late historian William E. Gienapp (pictured right) suggests that "however much social and economic developments fueled the sectional conflict, the coming of the Civil War must be explained ultimately in political terms, for the outbreak of war in April 1861 represented the complete breakdown of the American political system. As such, the Civil War constituted the greatest single failure of American democracy."[i]
Gienapp points to the role of slavery as the underlying cause of the sectional conflict. "Without slavery it is impossible to imagine a war between the North and the South (or indeed, the existence of anything we would call "the South" except as a geographic region)."[ii] He also asserts that America's slave heritage was completely associated with race. That is, had the slaves brought to America been white, the practice would have disappeared much earlier.[iii] But an argument asserting slavery as chief cause of the war neglects the fact that not only was it older than the republic, but "for over half a century following adoption of the Constitution, the institution had only sporadically been an issue in national politics, and it had never dominated state politics in either section."[iv] What changed? It was the rise of the slavery issue in American society; that is, the heightened awareness of it. This development was rooted in a number of changes in American society in the first half of the nineteenth century already addressed.[v]
As mentioned in previous posts in this series, the abolitionist movement did a great deal to raise that awareness. But Gienapp suggests that "it was the politicians themselves, as part of the struggle for control of the two major parties, who ultimately injected the slavery issue into national politics."[vi] The key development was the introduction in Congress in 1846 of the Wilmot Proviso, which prohibited slavery from any territory acquired from Mexico, by a group of Van Burenite Democrats who were angry with President James K. Polk (pictured right) and his southern advisers. Once the slavery issue, in the shape of the question of its expansion into the western territories, entered the political arena, it proved impossible to get it out. The issue took on a life of its own, and when politicians tried to drop the issue after 1850, they discovered that many voters were unwilling to acquiesce.[vii]
Gienapp makes a good case for the war's true cause in the following discourse.
A second critical development, intimately related to the first, was the crystallization of rival sectional ideologies oriented toward protecting white equality and opportunity. Increasingly, each section came to see the other section and its institutions as a threat to its vital social, political, and economic interests. Increasingly, each came to think that one section or the other had to be dominant. Informed by these ideologies, a majority of the residents of each section feared the other, and well before the fighting started the sectional conflict represented a struggle for control of the nation's future.
It fell to the political system to adjudicate differences between the sections and preserve a feeling of mutual cooperation and unity. And for a long time the political system had successfully defused sectional tensions. Because it brought northern and southern leaders together, Congress was the primary arena for hammering out solutions to sectional problems. In various sectional confrontations–the struggle over the admission of Missouri as a slave state in 1819-21, the controversy over nullification and the tariff in 1833, the problem of the status of slavery in the territory acquired from Mexico in 1850, and the struggle over the proslavery Lecompton constitution in 1858-Congress had always managed to find some acceptable way out of the crisis.
Yet the American political system was particularly vulnerable to sectional strains and tensions. One reason was the institutional structure of American politics. The Civil War occurred within a particular political institutional framework that, while it did not make the war inevitable, was essential to the coming of the war.
Integral to this institutional framework was the United States Constitution. While some aspects of the Constitution retarded the development of sectionalism, it contained a number of provisions that strengthened the forces of sectional division in the nation. No constitution can anticipate all future developments and conclusively deal with all controversies that subsequently arise. The purpose in analyzing the Constitution's role in the sectional conflict is not to fault its drafters or condemn it as a flawed document, but rather to indicate the importance of certain of its clauses for the origins of the war.
One significant feature of the Constitution was its provision for amendment. Lurking beneath the surface in the slavery controversy was white Southerners' fear that the Constitution would be amended to interfere with the institution. In advocating secession after Abraham Lincoln's election, Governor Andrew B. Moore of Alabama (pictured above) predicted that the Republicans would quickly create a number of new free states in the West, which "in hot haste will be admitted to the Union, until they have a majority to alter the Constitution. Then slavery will be abolished by law in the States."[viii]
The fear, uncertainty and doubt associated with this possibility, on the part of the Southern political establishment, pushed the country toward war.
The next post: "The Influence of the Individual."

The central focus of the Ad Council's mission is to make a measurable difference in society. Partnering with leading advertising agencies as well as sponsoring non-profit organizations and federal government agencies, we conduct qualitative and quantitative research to guide the strategic and creative development of our campaigns.
Program evaluation is also a critical component of every Ad Council campaign. In order to assess a campaign's impact, we conduct research that encompasses a dashboard of indicators, including media exposure, consumer response, website analytics, and national pre- and post tracking surveys that measure awareness, attitudinal and behavioral shifts among the target audience.
Strategic Research
For every Ad Council campaign, extensive research is conducted during its earliest phases of development. The goal of this research is to garner insights to inform an effective communications strategy.
Literature review: After being briefed on the issue by the campaign sponsor, we then conduct an extensive literature review, focusing on the nature and scope of the issue, other communications programs that have addressed the issue, and the most current empirical and public opinion studies.
Buzz Measurement: As social media platforms have become a key node of public conversations, we increasingly utilize buzz measurement tools to scour platforms like Facebook, Twitter, blogs and online forums to understand how the target audience engages with an issue online.
Exploratory research: Together with the volunteer ad agency, we conduct primary qualitative research among members of a campaign's target audience to determine how this group perceives and defines the issue, and to identify who among the target audience is most likely to act on communications related to the issue. These insights, along with the literature review, help the team to develop the campaign strategy. We employ a variety of qualitative methodologies, which may include traditional focus groups or one-on-one interviews, in-home discussion groups, ethnographies, vlogging, or other methods. We typically travel to at least 2-3 markets to ensure geographic diversity. At times, we supplement the qualitative research with a survey to test initial hypotheses or possible strategic directions among a quantitative sample.
Communications checks: After a campaign's creative concepts have been developed and approved by the Ad Council, we return to consumers in order to gauge their response to the advertising. Here we seek to learn whether the work will be effective in gaining the target audience's attention, conveying the main message, and persuading the audience to take action. This research can also help us determine the most effective concept among competing ideas. The research is usually qualitative in nature, typically a series of focus groups in several markets. Consumers are exposed to the advertising concepts in rough format (storyboards, scripts, etc.) and asked for their feedback.
Post-launch Assessment
Tracking Study: The Ad Council conducts a national tracking survey of the target audience in order to gauge trends overtime. To understand pre- and post- campaign launch trends, the survey is implemented prior to the release of each campaign and remains infield on a continuous basis. Measures include awareness of the issue, recognition of the advertising, and relevant attitudes and behaviors. While improvements in awareness and favorable attitudes are important, the gold standard for campaign assessment is usually a statistically significant increase in the desired behavior, as self-reported by the target audience. For many studies, we conduct continuous monthly surveys of the target audience, employing online methodology. For campaigns with audiences that are more difficult to reach, we conduct point-in-time tracking surveys every six-to-12 months, employing either online or telephone interview methodology.
The Ad Council assesses each campaign's ROI using a variety of metrics which fall into four basic categories:
- Exposure
- Awareness
- Engagement
- Impact
Exposure: Since we do not buy any media time or space, the Ad Council provides quarterly estimates of a campaign's donated media support. We employ several monitoring services to track media outlets' support, including TV, radio, web, newspaper, magazine, out-of-home and alternative media vehicles. Based on monitoring service reports and self-reports from some media companies, we are able to estimate the number of ad placements donated to a particular campaign, the impressions generated, and the monetary value of each of these placements. Also, we measure news media coverage generated by our public relations initiatives and events.
Awareness: The Ad Council tracking survey includes questions meant to estimate awareness of a particular campaign's issue as well as aided recognition of campaign PSAs among the campaign's target audience. Using response data from the survey, we are able to estimate and monitor shifts in awareness, which supplement exposure data with an estimate of how memorable our PSAs are, and to what degree the target is aware of the issue.
Engagement: Most Ad Council campaigns include a website and/or a toll-free number where consumers can get more information or become involved. We monitor website traffic trends, calls to the toll-free number, brochure requests/downloads, email sign-ups, etc. For campaigns that rely heavily on digital media we pay particular attention to sophisticated online metrics, including detailed website analytics, engagement with social media, and online buzz trends.
Impact: All Ad Council campaigns aim to influence a specific behavior such as seeking out educational support resources or adopting healthier eating habits. We use tracking data to monitor shifts in self-reported behaviors that correspond to the period of time during which our PSAs aired. In addition, we monitor external data trends from research conducted by government agencies and nonprofits that are related to an Ad Council campaign issue (e.g., childhood obesity rates, or high school dropout rates). While we often cannot connect these large data trends directly back to an Ad Council campaign, monitoring these data provides a helpful context.

The anti-corruption agenda is in danger of forgetting its principal asset: An independent media
Sitting in a large, rain pattered, tent in the grounds of Marlborough House in London last week, I had to admit to a mixture of frustration and admiration. Admirably hosted by the Commonwealth Secretariat, the conference was the civil society and business gathering prefacing the major Anti-Corruption Summit organised by UK Prime Minister, David Cameron.
First, the admiration. Both the outcomes of the Summit and the immense energy by civil society and other leaders in informing and influencing it, are impressive. Registries of beneficial ownership, fresh agreements on information sharing, new commitments requiring disclosure of property ownership, new signatories to the Open Government Partnership and open contracting Initiatives, the commitment from leaders of corruption affected countries and much else on display this week suggests real innovation, energy and optimism in advancing the anticorruption agenda.
The frustration stems from a concern that, while there is much that is new being agreed, one of the principal and most effective existing assets for checking corruption has barely featured in the discussion so far – and it is an asset which is increasingly imperilled.
It isn't just people like myself who point to the critical role of an independent media. As I've argued in a new working paper, when any serious review of the evidence of what actually works in reducing corruption is undertaken, it is the presence of an independent media that features consistently. In contrast, only a few of the anti-corruption measures that have been supported by development agencies to date have been effective.

Ultra-relativistic heavy ion collisions
The ALICE Collaboration has built a dedicated heavy-ion detector to exploit the unique physics potential of nucleus-nucleus interactions
at LHC energies. Our aim is to study the physics of strongly interacting matter at extreme energy densities, where the formation of a
new phase of matter, the quark-gluon plasma, is expected. The existence of such a phase and its properties are key issues in QCD for
the understanding of confinement and of chiral-symmetry restoration. For this purpose, we are carrying out a comprehensive study of the
hadrons, electrons, muons and photons produced in the collision of heavy nuclei. Alice is also studying proton-proton
collisions both as a comparison with lead-lead collisions and in physics areas where Alice is competitive with other LHC experiments.

Transform a cluttered garage into a dreamy indoor-outdoor space.
A former garage gets a bright transformation into a high-design poolside retreat.
Economist, urbanist and author, Richard Florida, and his wife, Rana, love contemporary design. This sleek space connects to their pool and outdoor dining area, but can be closed off via a white, rolling garage door. A surfboard, graphic cushions, Philippe Starck's light blue Prince Aha stool and modern furniture from Design Within Reach, such as the daybed and Bertoia chair, all contribute to a beachy, L.A. vibe.
See the outdoor dining area and watch a video tour of the house.

Secluded by hedges, trees and oversized planters, this poolside deck offers a serene spot for entertaining.
The backyard of homeowners Rana and Richard Florida (the economist, urbanist and author) features an outdoor dining area connected to the interior by a rolling garage door, seen open here. Landscape architect Mark Hartley separated the quiet eating spot from the pool area with symmetrical plantings and herringbone-patterned brick. The creamy exterior paint, light wood dining table and silver chairs create a bright, sunny look.

An industrial garage door brings the outdoors in.
This gorgeous live/work home used to be an old workshop in Montreal's Plateau area. Architect Natalie Dionne bought the bare-bones studio and transformed it into her dream home with partner Martin Laneuville. The garage door with windows provides loads of natural light in the winter, and opens to create a patio-like space in the warmer months.
View more photos of this home in our February 2009 issue. Plus, see more industrial spaces in our Industrial Interiors photo gallery.
Turn the yard into an enchanting outdoor space.
In the reworked backyard of artist Rundi Phelan's Toronto home, a new entry at the back of the drive consists of a brick wall and cedar gates. Rundi created a studio space in the little-used garage, and french doors open it up to the backyard for indoor-outdoor use.
See more in our photo gallery of unique garage conversions.
Turn an urban garage into a source of inspiration.
When artist Rundi Phelan was searching for unique ways to turn her little-used garage into a functioning space, she quickly landed on the idea to create a rehearsal studio for the youngest of her four sons, Paul, 19, a jazz musician (pictured here, left, with friends Devin Hart and Adrian Goodgoll). French doors open the studio to the sophisticated terrace to create a multipurpose space that can be enjoyed by all.
See more in our photo gallery of unique garage conversions.
An unused driveway is transformed into a patio.
The homeowner converted her garage into a music studio and the driveway into a sitting nook and dining area using striking furniture and bold fabrics. Yews and boxwood add texture and up the privacy. A grapevine ball filled with twinkle lights adds mood lighting for summer entertaining.
See more pools, patios and gardens in our Inspiring Backyards photo gallery. Plus, check out other unique garage conversions in our photo gallery.
Turn the exterior wall of the garage into an inviting lounge.
If a full garage conversion isn't an option, try adding to it from the outside instead. When these Toronto homeowners put in a new garage, they incorporated this seating area on a little patio beside it. Grapevines and rosebushes are trained to grow up the columns and over the pergola. Pretty, black-painted french doors access the garage.

A cluttered garage takes on a new life as a Vancouver family's mini getaway.
Vancouver homeowners transformed their garage from a wasted catchall of outdoor castoffs and equipment into a functional office and studio just steps away from the house. French doors open to a courtyard and large windows let in plenty of light, tranforming the space into the perfect retreat for yoga, reading, or getting some work done.
See more in our photo gallery of unique garage conversions.
Focus on versatility when decorating a small space.
For this Vancouver family's small but functional space, flexibility is key. The oval table is height-adjustable, allowing the owners to sit and write or stand and sketch or paint. Casters make it easy to push to the side to create a larger area for practising yoga. The shelving unit was designed with thick vertical dividers and thin horizontal shelves to make the wall appear higher than its 9′.
See more in our photo gallery of unique garage conversions.
A basic garage emerges as an airy multipurpose garden room.
What used to be a windowless box too small for the homeowners' car is now an inspiring work space with heaps of storage, a bright, airy interior and plenty of room for household projects. Kitchen-inspired drawers, cupboards, chairs and counters make it easy to keep the room neat and tidy. Slatwall allows for different configurations of hooks and shelves, and wire baskets house a lot of items without taking up floor space.
See more in our photo gallery of unique garage conversions.
This private summertime lounge can be converted back into a garage, which is important for resale. In the meantime, it's a sweet retreat complete with a capiz shell chandelier and bistro chairs in a tropical chartreuse.

I really love Instagram. As a visual person, it's so fun for me to see the world through other people's eyes and I love to browse the photos that are shared there. But, sometimes it can get you in trouble. Or at least cause one to start a new project when that's the last thing one needs to do.
Case in point. I saw the gorgeous scrappy trip around the world quilt blocks by Katy, Brenda, Megan, and Rita, and I was drawn in. And I began to make some blocks today. We are all following the great tutorial found on Quiltville, although I am pressing my seams open, as opposed to towards the side, as is suggested.
I tried pressing to the side, but I couldn't get my strips to line up correctly. I'm so used to pressing everything open, and I actually prefer this method, because I really love how all of the seams lay flat.
My first two blocks took longer thank I had expected they would. But after I had made a couple, they came together much faster.
I'm planning on making this quilt as scrappy as I can. I think. Although I'm not actually using scraps, but rather cutting into fabrics that have been sitting on my shelves for way too long. It's fun to actually use them in something!
So, I blame Instagram, and Katy, Brenda, Megan, and Rita for their stunning blocks, for leading me down the scrappy trip around the world path. But, honestly, I'm really excited to make a quilt just for fun. It's been way too long since I did that...
And Instagram can get you in trouble in other ways too. Like sharing old photos of yourself late at night with you friends there. That's my senior class photo, complete with 90s era oversized sweater.
And another classic, of me and Carl, who were voted "most artistic" during our senior year. Thanks for the inspiration, and the trip down memory lane, Instagram!
If you'd like to join in on the fun, there is also a flickr group as well as the hashtag #scrappytripalong on IG and twitter. But I warn you, these blocks are kind of addicting once you get started.

It's Christmas eve eve and whether or not you're reeling in feeling the frenzy of the heightened excitement of the season there's always room for a little plaintive introspection. Local auteur/chanteuse Laura Weinbach and her chamber-pop ensemble Foxtails Brigade are among many who have released a special album for the holidays this year, but no seasonal tribute has ever so sweetly serenaded the ghosts of Christmas past quite like their single "I'm Not Really In The Christmas Mood This Year" from the album Time Is Passed. The song is a beautiful if painfully heart-tugging reminder that the Christmas monster needs taming, a glockenspiel and brush lullaby for the lovers of the true meaning. Plus, it comes perfectly packaged in a ruefully gorgeous, must-see visual medium, do check out the video below!

"Home Sweet Home" is a truly appropriate declaration (in so many ways) for this charming renovated antique cottage in a delightful seaside enclave practically surrounded by waterways including Juniper Cove, which is barely two blocks away. Salem Willows is a hop, skip and jump away, too.
ADDRESS: 107 Bay View Ave., Salem
BATHROOMS: 1 full
LIVING SPACE: 904 sq. ft.
"Home Sweet Home" is a truly appropriate declaration (in so many ways) for this charming renovated antique cottage in a delightful seaside enclave practically surrounded by waterways including Juniper Cove, which is barely two blocks away. Salem Willows is a hop, skip and jump away, too.
Built in 1870, this captivating sky-blue home with a discreet amount of white gingerbread trim — carved corbels and prettily turned Victorian-style spindles in the railing on the rocking chair porch — has curb appeal to spare. Lattice work under the porch is an attractive finishing touch, too.
Keep in mind that the sunset views from this outdoor spot are incredible and a single-car driveway is another great bonus. But keep in mind that this sweet residence could be a unique vacation home (rental or not) and/or practical option to condo-living. No association fees.
Another plus is that major updates — fresh paint, carpeting, new wood floors and hot water tank — happened in 2017. The roof is 11 years old, the heating system is gas and the exterior is low-maintenance vinyl.
C'mon, let's go in
Looking up or down in the spacious living room is a treat. A coffered ceiling adds visual interest "on high," so speak while wide wood floor boards — these are about six-inches across — in a dark stain command attention underfoot. A wood accent wall is in between while crown molding and detailed bump boards surrounding the room is a cohesive element. Oversized windows allow in ample natural light and yes, water views happen in this living room.
Millwork in the dining room with double crown molding and detailed casings on the two windows represent wonderful classic features. The dark stained hardwood floors, however, add a contemporary and complementary touch. Seating six, eight or more is readily doable in this room. An exceptionally large closet — it's almost the width of the house — is in this room, too.
The real treat, however, is a "hidden" staircase to the second floor. One reason is that it's in such an unexpected spot. Another reason is that its placement is quite clever as it uses a minimum amount of floor space.
Ample counter space and cabinetry — uppers that extend to the ceiling create a modern look — are two highlights in this really large kitchen, Of course the sleek tile backsplash accenting the white cabinets is another attractive feature. Easy maintenance is the rule in this light-filled room with a tile floor.
Although updating is an option, the kitchen room works very well as is.
Currently, a washer is tucked into this room, while the dryer is around the corner in a hallway that leads to the back door. Repositioning everything is certainly doable. What can stay as is, however, is the "back" porch. This is one sweet outdoor spot and a brick paver walkway leads right to it.
A workshop with a built-in bench and cabinet is on this level, too.
More, more …
A full bathroom on the main level combines the best of old and new. The black-and-white tile floor, for example, reflects 19th Century decorating preferences. Tile used in wainscoting and in the surround for the tub/shower combination, on the other hand, reflects today's tastes.
Modified cove ceilings — these have excellent height, too — are appealing architectural elements in each of the two carpeted bedrooms on the second floor. In addition to sizable windows placed to allow natural cross ventilation and superb water views, closet space is plentiful, too. One bedroom has two closets — one is gigantic and spans the width of the room. The second one is a deep single with open shelving.
The other bedroom has a single closet plus knee wall storage.
A deep linen closet is in the hallway and, should it be needed, an additional storage cupboard is over the stairwell.

What is a Breast Augmentation?
As the name suggests, breast augmentation, or augmentation mammoplasty, is a plastic surgery procedure when breast implants are inserted or fat is transferred into the breasts of a woman to increase the breasts size, change their shape, correct asymmetry or improve texture.
Breast augmentation is colloquially known as boob job or breast aug. It can help make your breasts bigger and restore their volume after pregnancy or quick weight loss.
Breast augmentation deals with improving body proportions and fullness of breasts. In many cases it acts as an important instrument in restoring self-confidence, too.
It is one of the most popular plastic surgery procedures worldwide with the very first boob job with modern implants performed in 1962.
Am I a candidate for a Breast Augmentation?
Breast augmentation can be performed with therapeutic or cosmetic purposes.
Before deciding on breast augmentation in Thailand make sure that:
Breast augmentation surgery can be done even if you are planning future pregnancies and want to breastfeed. Occasionally, breast implants can cause breastfeeding difficulties. To avoid them, discuss it with your surgeon to avoid cutting milk ducts.
How is Breast Augmentation Performed?
The main steps during breast augmentation include Anaesthesia – Surgery – Inserting of implants – Closing the incision.
Inserting and placing of the implant
Closing the incision
What types of breast implants are available?
Today, there are two major types of breast implants available worldwide and in Thailand with variations within each type.
**Saline implants**
If the shell leaks, however, the sterile saline solution will be absorbed naturally but the implant will collapse.
Emplacement of saline implants technically is a less invasive procedure.
Saline implants help get quite a realistic texture and a smooth hemisphere contour of breasts.
**Silicon implants**
They are currently made of a high-strength, highly cohesive silicone gel that ensures almost 100% filler leakage prevention thus eliminating the risk of silicon filler migrating in the woman's body.
These implants are sometimes called gummy bear breast implants for their firm consistency.
Alongside with gummy bear breast implants, silicone implants of the third and the fourth generation are still in use. There are anatomic models that very realistically resemble natural breasts and shaped models, round or tapered.
What are the risks of Breast Augmentation surgery?
Before making decision to undergo breast augmentation surgery, make sure you fully understand risks and possible complications. Breast tissues have very sensible biological nature, and as with any surgery, breast augmentation indeed does entail some risks.
Some major risks of boob job include:
Remember that you will have to visit your breast doctor after breast augmentation at least once a year to evaluate the condition of your breast implants.
What results should I expect after Breast Augmentation
You will see your new, bigger breasts immediately after surgery. But final results are best evaluated after a couple of weeks when the swelling subsides.
Scars will remain reddish and prominent for a while but normally become lighter in colour and flatter after six–12 months after procedure.
Similarly, sensitivity to nipple area and the breasts in general may need some time to return.
Usually patients report that after three to six months they get used to their new breasts and feel comfortable and confident with them.
What should I expect during my Breast Augmentation recovery?
Breast augmentation surgery is an out-patient procedure. While you will be left for monitoring for an hour or so after the implants are placed and incisions are closed, you normally will be able to leave the clinic or hospital soon after that.
The initial breast implant recovery takes between a week and two. During this period the swelling subsides, the skin stretches to better accommodate your new breasts and the breasts acquire their new shape.
Post-operative medications, often – antibiotics to prevent possible inflammation – can be prescribed for the initial recovery period.
Depending on the dressing of incisions, you may be asked either to clear wounds daily and apply ointment or to keep tape on for a week or so.
Normally, a support bra or an elastic bandage is used to help breasts heal quicker.
How Much Does a Breast Augmentation Surgery Cost?
There are several factors that influence the breast augmentation cost. Among them are the type of the implants, the breast implant cost and the clinic where procedure is performed. Thus there is a huge variation in prices.
How much do breast implants cost? In media, the cheapest implants in Thailand are unlikely to cost you less than USD2,000. Average cost of breast implants in Thailand is about USD3,000. It is about two times less than you would pay for the implants in Australia or Europe.
Expect average breast augmentation cost in Thailand including anaesthesia, use of surgical facilities, surgeon's fee and materials to be around USD3,500–USD5,000.
Why Choose Thailand over Other Countries?
Breast augmentation surgery in Thailand is much more affordable than it can be in your home country. For many patients it is the main reason for choosing Thailand for their boob job. You should not however take into consideration only the cost of the procedure. Here are some more pros for breast augmentation in Thailand.
How to Choose Right Clinic?

Palin's 'Dancing' success defies easy explanation
A shadow political campaign or an "attagirl" for a struggling amateur? Bristol Palin's success on this season's "Dancing With the Stars" defies easy explanation.
Either way, Bristol has something to brag about if talk at the Palin dinner table turns toward vote-getting ability. Just like her mom, Sarah, and her campaign for the vice presidency two years ago, however, Bristol fell short at the end. She finished third to champion Jennifer Grey of "Dirty Dancing" fame during the ABC competition's two-hour finale Tuesday. Runner-up was Disney Channel star Kyle Massey.
Palin's march, shimmy and cha-cha to the finals put "Dancing With the Stars," of all programs, into the nation's political cauldron. Clearly, Bristol drew support from many people who admire her mother, who frequently appeared in the show's studio audience to root for her daughter. Bristol said Tuesday that if she won, "it would be like giving a big middle finger to people who hate my mom and hate me."
Sarah Palin supporters helped organize campaigns to keep her daughter on the show, like radio talk host Tammy Bruce's "Operation Bristol." Conservative blogger Kevin DuJan's Hillbuzz.org website also led a get-out-the-vote effort and wrote after Tuesday's results that Palin "drove the Left crazy for three months. Score!"
Bristol's success only intensified the spotlight on Sarah Palin to an extraordinary degree for an out-of-office politician, largely in ways that have nothing to do with politics. Besides the "Dancing With the Stars" exposure, Palin's TLC series about Alaska is in the midst of airing, and she has a new book due out.
Jason Gershman, a mathematician from Nova Southeastern University in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., who studied some of the telephone voting patterns, said he believed Bristol Palin's support was largely political, given that it appeared she got more votes during the weeks that Sarah was in the studio audience. He said he sensed a backlash brewing against Palin by fans who thought the best dancer should win, and they coalesced around Grey, who kept winning perfect scores from the judges despite fighting through injury.
"If her name was Bristol Smith or Bristol Jones, she would not be on the show or she would not have gotten this far," he said. "She went from being a bad dancer to a mediocre dancer. But she was not the best dancer."
Luke Londo, a 22-year-old college student from Marquette, Mich., said he felt sympathy for Bristol Palin for having her dancing ability denigrated and even receiving death threats. He called in to vote for her in the finals. He also voted for McCain-Palin in 2008, calling Sarah "a fantastic woman."
He wasn't the only one who felt that way.
"I first voted for Bristol because of Sarah," said Ken Flaa, 54, a semiretired accountant from Mullica Hill, N.J. "Now I believe she stands on her own. I have been a fan of Sarah Palin since 2008. I feel her, her family and the tea party are most aligned with my thinking about government."
The interest created by Bristol paid off for ABC and its most popular program. Monday's dance-off reached 23.7 million people, the biggest audience for "Dancing With the Stars" in six years, the Nielsen Co. said. Viewership for the series in general is up 17 percent from last fall's edition.
Some critics believe that has come with a cost.
"ABC just might be on the verge of outsmarting itself; using Palin's cult of personality to juice this cycle's ratings while ensuring a result that just might give the lie to everything 'Dancing With the Stars' stands for," wrote Eric Deggans, critic for the St. Petersburg (Fla.) Times.
But it is entertainment, after all, and ultimately a popularity contest.
Conrad Green, the show's executive producer, suggested that people are reading too much into the contest politically.
"There's nothing that unusual with what's going on here," Green said. "This is just a lot of people who've got an opinion about Sarah Palin feeding into the show who start to shout a lot about a conspiracy. I think a lot of people are shouting who don't actually watch the show and don't understand how it all works."
Many of Bristol Palin's supporters readily conceded she wasn't the best dancer. But they admired her pluck and willingness to put herself on the line.
Gretchen Offord, a women's crisis counselor from Shasta Lake, Calif., said she detested the condescension that was directed Palin's way by many of the professional dancers and judges on the show.
"I tend to have sympathy for people who have the odds stacked against them," she said.
Offord voted for Bristol. She doesn't particularly like Sarah.
Susan Gonzalez, a 26-year-old teacher from Washington, D.C., said she and many of her friends became fans of Bristol as the season went along.
"There's something about her that I think every girl in her 20s can relate to," she said. "She's very vulnerable, and watching her gain confidence over the course of the season was kind of interesting -- the fact that she's not the best, and she knows she's not the best, but every week she goes on and puts on a brave face."
Monday was the first night Palin looked like she was enjoying herself, Gonzalez said. "She kind of seemed relieved that it was over," she said.
She said she doesn't support Palin's mother, "and if the voting power behind Bristol says something about the voting power of the tea party, I think we have a lot to be afraid of in 2012."
Stephanie Tompkins, a 23-year-old financial analyst from Dallas, said she voted for Palin to stick up for her when a lot of people were picking on her.
"I can relate to Bristol," she said. "We're pretty much the same age. She's never done something like this before and I think it's pretty brave for her to get up and do something like this when she's been criticized."
There's politics, there's sympathy and there's also mischief.
Adam Tills, a 41-year-old website owner from the Minneapolis area, first supported Palin as part of a popular online campaign to mess with television competition programs by encouraging votes for the least talented performers. Then he thought the whole controversy over why Palin continued on in the show was so silly that it would be fun to see what happened if she actually won.
So he kept on voting for Bristol.
"I'd just love to see the world turned on its ear over this because that's what everyone will be talking about for a week," he said.

Hosts Ulsan Hyundai showed visiting Al Ahli no mercy in Saturday's AFC Champions League final, rounding off their undefeated campaign with a 3-0 win which sealed their maiden continental title and thus the right to represent Asia at December's FIFA Club World Cup in Japan.
The triumph extended Korea Republic's dominance on the Asian scene, with Ulsan the fourth K-League side to have their name carved on the coveted trophy following compatriots Jeonbuk Motors' continental conquest in the 2006 edition and Pohang Steelers and Seongnam Ilhwa Chunma's back-to-back successes in 2009 and 2010.
Hosts start quickly
Entering the home match buoyed by their eight-match winning streak, coach Kim Hogon's hosts expectedly got off to an explosive start. Forward Lee Keunho earned their first free-kick after two minutes, before Kwak Taehwi surged into the area only to miss a chipped pass.
The in-form defender was again left rueful on ten minutes when he saw a header bounce just over. However, the Korea Republic and Ulsan captain atoned for the near-miss three minutes later, outjumping the entire defensive line to head the hosts in front and lift the 40,000-strong home crowd at Ulsan Munsu Stadium to their feet.
The conceded goal sparked coach Karel Jarolim's visitors into action as they began to hit on the break in desperate search for the equaliser. But they relied too much on individual efforts from top striker Victor Simoes, who produced their first shot on goal after half an hour when he forced Kim Youngkwang into a fine save with a free-kick.
The hosts continued to heap pressure on the Saudi side, with Colombian midfielder Julian Estiven Velez twice testing the goalkeeper with long-distance shots and towering forward Kim Shinwook flashing a header narrowly wide.
With Simoes closely marked, midfielder Moataz Al Musa provided Al Ahli with attacking sparks as the clock ticked towards the end of the first half.
Having seen an early effort fly over, the Saudi international caused havoc when he cut into the area, only to be denied by Ulsan 'keeper Kim Youngkwang. Then on a counter-attack, he agonisingly pulled his effort over the crossbar as Ulsan held onto their 1-0 first-half lead.
Ulsan seal maiden title
The two sides picked up where they had left off after the restart, with Ulsan continuing to maraud while Al Ahli attempted to claw themselves back into contention.
The dynamic Keunho fired a powerful drive over, while at the other end Amad Al Hosni forced his way through into the area but Velez came to the rescue by heading the ball back to his 'keeper.
The visitors' hopes of comeback, however, were shattered on 68 minutes when Rafinha doubled the lead with his seventh goal of the campaign. Kim Seungyong then put the icing on the cake 14 minutes from time, slotting home from Keunho's cross to make it 3-0.

Camerata San Antonio has announced their 2012-2013 season of chamber music performances in San Antonio, Kerrville and Boerne. Kenneth and Emily Freudigman are the co-founders of Camerata San Antonio, and some of the Symphony's musicians are featured each season. The highlight of their upcoming season (and the concerts that need a little explaining) may be their three Brahms Festival concerts. Their schedule will be:
September 27, 28 & 30, 2012 (The 30th is the San Antonio concert)
Debussy Cello Sonata
Ravel String Quartet
Franck Piano Quintet
December 9 (in San Antonio only)
Violist Emily Freudigman and pianist Carolyn True
Schumann Marchenbilder
Britten Lachrymae
Milhaud Sonata No. 1
Prokovief/Borissovsky Selections from Romeo and Juliet
January 3, 4 & 6, 2013 (The 6th is the San Antonio concert)
Kodaly Serenade, Op. 12
Janacek On an Overgrown Path
Smetana String Quartet No. 1, "From my Life"
BRAHMS FESTIVAL (See below for more details–in San Antonio only)
Brahms Festival Concert #1 on January 31
Brahms Festival Concert #2 on February 7
Brahms Festival Concert #3 on February 14
April 4, 5 & 7 (The 7th is the San Antonio concert)
Bridge String Sextet
Martinu String Sextet
Dvorák String Sextet in A major
Okay, now on to the Brahms Festival explanation:
Camerata San Antonio is one of 19 arts organizations partnering with the San Antonio Symphony to produce a four-week long Brahms Festival in January/February 2013. Sebastian Lang-Lessing first created a Tchaikovsky Festival in his first season two years ago. Last year featured a city-wide Beethoven Festival that included 12 artistic partners. This year Maestro Lang-Lessing has selected Brahms and has invited arts organizations to join the Symphony in celebrating this great romantic composer in January and February.
On their first Brahms concert Camerata will offer both Brahms String Sextets. Playing violin in the sextets will be the guest concertmaster of the Symphony for the entire Brahms Festival — Jun Yi Ma. You may remember the name, as Jun Yi Ma was the guest concertmaster last season for the Beethoven Festival. He is the concertmaster of the Tasmania Symphony Orchestra in Australia (the former orchestra of our music director.)
On their second Brahms concert pianist Kirill Gerstein will be featured on the second half of the program in works for solo piano by Brahms. That is on Thursday. The next two days Gerstein plays both Brahms piano concertos with the Symphony. The third Brahms chamber music concert features violinist Vadim Gluzman. The day after the Camerata concert, Gluzman plays the Brahms violin concerto with the Symphony. The day after that he plays the Brahms double concerto for violin and cello with the Symphony. For both these guest artists this is a tour-de-force. Three different programs in three days. What an extraordinary opportunity for San Antonio to experience artistry at such a high level in such depth!
Beyond these exciting Brahms Festival performances, Camerata always manages to select a few great compositions by composers that should get more attention. I'm looking forward to discovering the string sextet by Martinu in April. I don't know many of Martinu's works, but every time I hear one I immediately ask myself, "why isn't this composer better recognized?"
More information on Camerata San Antonio's 2012-2013 season will be posted shortly on their web site at http://www.cameratasa.org/.

Official: Food Network will not renew Paula Deen's contract
Home shopping network QVC is re-examining its ties
Chelsea J. Carter and Carolyn Sung | 6/24/2013, 6:23 a.m.
NEW YORK (CNN) Celebrity chef Paula Deen's contract with the Food Network will not be renewed, the network said Friday, the latest fallout over revelations that she admitted to using a racial epithet in the past.
Deen's contract with the network, which airs three shows featuring the chef, expires at the end of the month, it said.
The Food Network's announcement followed reports that Deen acknowledged in a lawsuit deposition using the "N word." Earlier in the week, the network said it would monitor the situation, but that it "does not tolerate any form of discrimination."
In a statement, Deen thanked the network for 11 "great years."
"... I have had the pleasure of being allowed into so many homes across the country and meeting people who have shared with me the most touching and personal stories," she said. "... This would not have been possible without the Food Network. Thank you again. Love and best dishes to all of ya'll."
Home shopping network QVC is likewise re-examining its business relationship with Deen, Paul Campbell, vice president of communications, told CNN. He stressed the company does not "tolerate discriminatory behavior."
The shopping network features the cookware line "Paula Deen's Kitchen," among other sponsored items.
A Walmart spokesman declined to comment on that company's ties with Deen.
Last week's events are stunning twists for the chef whose Southern, folksy flair with food made her a household name, spawning a line of kitchenware, cookware and food.
The Food Network's announcement came on a head-spinning day of developments that began when Deen backed out of an interview with "Today" on NBC. She later apologized and begged for forgiveness in a video on YouTube that she pulled and replaced with a self-produced video where she again apologized.
"I want to apologize to everybody for the wrong that I've done," Deen said in the first video statement. "I want to learn and grow from this. Inappropriate and hurtful language is totally, totally unacceptable. I've made plenty of mistakes along the way but I beg you, my children, my team, my fans, my partners, I beg for your forgiveness."
A short time later, Deen replaced the professionally edited video with one she made herself.
In that video, she apologized for backing out of the interview, saying she was "physically not able" to do it at the time.
"I'm taking this opportunity now that I've pulled myself together and am able to speak to offer an apology to those that I have hurt," she said.
"... My family and I are not the kind of people the press are wanting to say we are," she said. "...Your color, your religion, your sexual preference does not matter to me. But it's what's in the heart, and my family and I try to live by that."
Deen's friend, Juda Engelmayer, said after Deen recorded the first statement, she said it was not what she wanted to say.

A game frequently displayed in television police dramas. Two partners in crime are separated into separate rooms at the police station and given a similar deal. If one implicates the other, he may go free while the other receives a life in prison. If neither implicates the other, both are given moderate sentences, and if both implicate the other, the sentences for both are severe. Each player has a dominant strategy to implicate the other, and thus in equilibrium each receives a harsh punishment, but both would be better off if each remained silent. In a repeated or iterated prisoner's dilemma, cooperation may be sustained through trigger strategies such as tit for tat.
