As soon as we picked up the sweepstakes Archer in Iowa late last year, we knew it didn't fly precisely straight and true. Even in smooth air with the perfect trim setting, the airplane always seemed to want to roll right. Then later we began to notice it was flying half a ball out to the left. Late this summer we finally had a chance to take it in to a shop for a proper rigging adjustment. On the recommendation of the Piper Flyer Association, we sought out Hagerstown Aviation Services and the staff's rigging expertise for the job. Joe Hart did the work, and he found a number of issues. The turn coordinator wasn't precisely level in the panel, which was causing our inclinometer problem. He found the nosewheel and rudder pedals didn't align either. Finally, he discovered the right wing did in fact appear to be flying heavier. The Piper manual says to adjust a flap to fix the problem, which Hart did. As a last touchup, he adjusted the push rods on the ailerons to center the yokes. Now the winner will have a true hands-off airplane, autopilot or not.— IJT
I've always imagined myself diving for the start of the race at Reno, overtaking the highly modified P-51s and Sea Furys. And while I may not ever get the chance to fly low and fast, I'll always be able to say I'm a race winner. Let me explain. Senior Editor Dave Hirschman and I have been cooking up a race between the sweepstakes Archer and a stock Archer of the same vintage for a few months. We made it happen recently, and the results may surprise you.
The sweepstakes Archer has flap, aileron, and wing root seals. It also sports Speedpants. AOPA's 1979 Archer II has none of those things. Even the stock wheelpants are long gone, a testament to its duty as a primary trainer. Hirschman and I decided we could compare takeoff distance, slow flight, stalls, climb, and speed in our flight. The only way to make it fair was to do it on the same day at the same altitude, heading the same direction. We're both experienced flying formation, so that wasn't a problem. The race was on.
Hirschman sprung out to an early lead when 8121K stalled at only a slightly higher speed; managed to keep up with 208GG in the climb; and exhibited nice slow flight characteristics. But then came the power. I knew I could get him here. When Hirschman said he firewalled it, it was time to show him who was boss. I advanced power to the stop, watched, and waited. I couldn't believe it. He was keeping up! What was wrong? I asked if he had leaned out the engine. "About half an inch," he said. I pulled back the mixture on 208GG and shot by like I was being fired from a cannon. He was toast, and I knew it. When I was safely clear, Hirschman asked what my groundspeed was. "One-two-nine knots," I said proudly. "What's yours?" "One-two-six," he said. So much for my cannon metaphor. To anyone who asks, I tell them weight was the reason the sweepstakes Archer didn't do better in the tests. Between 208GG weighing 75 pounds more, and my diet, we weren't in top form.— IJT
When an aircraft undergoes a major facelift like the Archer has this year, it's always a good idea to consider changing peripheral items. Since satellite monitoring of ELTs will end February 1, 2009 (see " Blind to the Satellites," October Pilot), it seemed like a logical time to switch to a 406 MHz ELT. Kannad is a first-time contributor this year, supplying the airplane with a newly certified 406 MHz unit. The ELT is GPS-enabled, meaning if anything ever happens to the winner, search and rescue personnel will be able to fly directly to the scene. It's great peace of mind. You can find out more about Kannad's offerings and contact the company for more information.
The paint has been applied. The interior has been replaced. Even the panel is finished and working beautifully. Work on your 2008 Get Your Glass Sweepstakes Piper Archer is finished. It's time to go out and have some fun and show it off to its adoring fans.
Thanks to the work of Penn Yan Aero, Oxford Aviation, and Penn Avionics, this year's sweepstakes airplane was finished earlier than usual, giving the admirers at EAA AirVenture in Oshkosh something to be thankful for. Those who made the trek to the show and stopped by AOPA's Big Yellow Tent were treated to a beautifully finished airplane (save a few minor details) to gawk at, take pictures of, and imagine what it would be like to win such a nice airplane. Although only one pilot will get to feel that excitement of winning, we can all imagine what it's like to fly N208GG.
One of the great appeals of this year's airplane, aside from the modern avionics and striking appearance, is that most of us have flown an Archer before. Perhaps we learned in one, rented one, or flew a friend's cherished bird. So strap in and come along as we fly the Get Your Glass Sweepstakes airplane to Oshkosh.
The first thing you notice when flying the sweepstakes Archer is that it gets lots of attention wherever it goes. Oxford Aviation's great paint and interior design schemes, and the execution of those designs, make the attention a sure bet at every stop. Ask anyone who has seen the airplane at a show and they'll tell you the depth of the pearl basecoat and silver fade can only be appreciated in person on a sunny day.
After admiring the paint and doing a thorough preflight, let's step into the cockpit and settle into those custom black leather seats. Are they as hot as they might seem in the summer heat? Chances are you'll agree with all the passengers so far who said they were surprised how cool it was inside the cabin. In fact, many have said it's cooler than a standard airplane.
Just like in the Archer you've flown in the past, we'll go through the before-start checklist (including four shots of prime, thank you very much), and clear the area. Then turn the key, press in, and the Lycoming O-360-A4M overhauled by Penn Yan Aero will fire right up. It's at this point you'll realize you're about to fly a glass cockpit airplane without having to go through a number of pages of checks beforehand. Despite loads of capability, the Aspen Avionics EFD1000 primary flight display reduces pilot workload, as any glass display should.
Taxiing out to the runup area, notice that the Aspen has completely initialized and is giving us the full attitude, airspeed, altitude, and directional displays. Now at the runup area, you know the drill. Beneath that beautiful façade and highly integrated instrument panel, it's the same Archer you're familiar with.
Where N208GG really differs from the Archers you've known and loved is the panel. Are you familiar with the Garmin GNS430W GPS/nav/comms? If not, I'll be sure to instruct you as we make the flight. Without question, the 430Ws are the most complicated piece of equipment in the Archer. While the basic functions of tuning the radios and entering a direct course are easy, advanced functions take training. But assuming you've used a 430 (the W stands for WAAS-enabled), flying this Archer should be no problem.
There are no additional checks or tests to go through with the Aspen before takeoff. In that way, it's no more difficult than a standard six-pack. After entering our course on the Garmin, make sure the navigation source on the Aspen is selected to GPS, and the HSI needle will automatically slew to the course, and continue to automatically change as waypoints are passed.
After takeoff, notice the climb is brisk. With its new engine, the sweepstakes Archer is climbing better than the book numbers. Today's a busy day on the approach frequency, so instead of worrying about missing our assigned altitude, let's turn on the S-Tec System Fifty Five X autopilot, dial in the altitude on the SA200 altitude preselect, select the navigation mode, and push "alt" and "vs" simultaneously. Now the S-Tec will take over by navigating laterally, and leveling off at the preselected altitude. It's an amazing thing to watch. The interaction of the various tools is starting to become evident—what a game changer all the equipment really is.
Reaching our desired altitude, set the power with the digital tachometer indication on the JP Instruments EDM-800 and settle in. Today we're flying at 6,000 feet and 75-percent power. Using the EDM-800, enter the Lean Find mode and lean the O-360 to peak EGT. Expect it to happen around 1,475 degrees F. From here it's our option, but I prefer to run 100-degree rich of peak EGT, as the book says to do for best power.
Now is the moment of truth. Do the flap gap seals, Speedpants from Laminar Flow Systems, and wing root seals help the top end speed? The book says the Archer should get 140 mph at this altitude, power setting, and outside air temperature. Today, like every day the airplane has flown since coming from the shops, we do better than book—148 mph to be exact. So while it's not blazingly fast, it is better than the manufacturer says we should do, and anytime that happens it's a good day.
In cruise now, we settle in for the long flight to our fuel stop. There's a 30-knot direct headwind, so this will take a total of six hours of flying, including the FISK arrival. To pass the time, let's turn on music from PS Engineering's new PMA8000B-MP3 audio panel. The folks at the factory loaded a full gigabyte of tunes, so we should be good all the way to Oshkosh. The music plays clear and crisp, like having an iPod installed in the panel. It's unfortunate their taste in music includes 1980s dance beats.
So how was it flying the Aspen for the first time? Well, if you are like most who have had the opportunity, your answer is probably "pretty easy." This is Aspen's secret. Sure the unit has robust capability and fits in the two holes previously occupied by the attitude indicator and directional gyro or HSI. But what users recognize is how easy it is to get accustomed to a piece of equipment as advanced as a primary flight display. More advanced features may take time to learn, but the basics are clear from the beginning.
Senior Editor Dave Hirschman has flown the sweepstakes airplane a few times and offers the following impression on the Aspen. "I got far more pertinent and timely information from the PFD than the steam gauges," he said. "I'd glance at the vacuum attitude indicator and turn coordinator from time to time—but the PFD proved it was for real." Editor in Chief Tom Haines also had a chance to fly the Archer, and said he was impressed with the Aspen's capabilities and how much it offers for the price.
But regardless of those first impressions, the sweepstakes winner, and any other owner of a glass cockpit aircraft for that matter, will have to get training on the panel equipment. Many companies make that easy. Garmin, for example, has a free PC-based training simulator that can be downloaded from the Web site for its series of 430/530 units. Between that, lots of outside resources from vendors, and a wide knowledge base in the flight training community, the winner shouldn't have any problem learning how to navigate the GPS' various functions. The autopilot, PFD, MFD, and engine analyzer will present different training challenges. Avidyne's EX500 multifunction display is an easy box to use, and since not knowing it isn't critical to flight safety, the winner should have no problem seeking out advice from the manual and then giving it a try. The engine analyzer is the same, although more complicated. Here again the manual comes in handy, especially when it's in the seatback pocket for quick reference.
The S-Tec and Aspen are the big learning challenges. A CFI seems like the natural place to go for instruction on the autopilot, but many will have had no personal experience. S-Tec's manual is very good, but it's not a bad idea to seek help from another pilot with experience in the box and go flying for a while to make sure you fully understand its functions before flying solo. Finally, since Aspen's PFD is a new unit, the outside resources for training are still not there. The manual is excellent, but there's no substitute for the real thing.
Although we will give the winner some basic instruction in all the panel's various toys, it will be up to him or her to maintain proficiency and discover the inner depths of what the airplane can do.

First up is our shiny new fridge. We had always planned to update the appliances at some point, but when the freezer section of the old fridge stopper working completely, we were forced to act sooner rather than later.
I can't believe we managed to fit this beast in the same space as the old one. As you can see, it has French doors and is working out really well so far. It's waaay quieter than the old one, has loads more room and is energy efficient. We bought it from Lowes and managed to qualify for the military discount which was a major saving. Plus they offer free delivery and free haul away of the old one.
Next up is a sneak peak of the new family room rug. Excuse the terrible pic - I was trying to hold it up with one hand and take the pic with the other. Rugs are HEAVY! I thought it was a little bit like the West Elm souk rug? Maybe? If you squint? I picked up this guy at HomeGoods. We've made some major changes to the family room - updates soon I promise.
And of course I couldn't buy just one rug! I grabbed this little one too. It's like walking on velvet. Seriously. In the morning I'll pop into the guest room just so I can stand on this rug!
I bought the radio you can see on the nightstand during Targets after Christmas clearance. It was only $10 and reminded my of the Crosley radios you see (only this one was way cheaper!). Perfect for guests.

Sandra Choi says shoes have the power to change your look instantly.
The creative director of Jimmy Choo points out that although the brand's roots lie in red carpet glamour, the shoe giant also produce footwear more suited for day-to-day life.
She claims it's easy to go from one look to another simply by mixing up accessories.
"It is easy to change your look or persona with a bag and shoes. Often, I do that myself. I drop my child off at school wearing sneakers and a big bag. And within that bag, I will have another bag to go out to lunch.
"And then, I have a couple pairs of shoes in my office. So you can change your look and style instantly. People don't know that we actually do sneakers and biker boots really well. I want to bring those other facets of the brand to the forefront," she told WWD.
Sandra confesses that one of the defining moments for the luxury shoe brand was during the Sex and the City craze, when fashionista Carrie Bradshaw – played by Sarah Jessica Parker – lost a Jimmy Choo shoe.
It's not just women's footwear that grab Sandra's attention, she's also dedicated to creating an "authentic" shoe for men, as well as the possibility of experimenting in other areas of design.
"Men's shoes have to be authentic. The quality, the luxury and the craftsmanship are so important, and we pay a lot of attention to those things.
"We've found that the brand itself is quite elastic, so we can actually branch out and do different things. For the time being, I want to get our perspective right and do things the way I think they should be done. But the name is limitless," she admitted.

Public Unions Get Too 'Friendly'
They resemble 'On the Waterfront' more than 'Norma Rae.'
When you step back and try to get a sense of the larger picture in the battle between the states and their public-employee unions, two elements emerge. One seems small but could prove decisive, and the other is big and, if I'm seeing it right, carries significant implications.
The seemingly small thing is that the battles in the states, while summoning emotions from all sides, are not at their heart emotional. Yes, a lot of people are waving placards, but it's also true that suddenly everyone's talking about numbers; the numbers...

Madonna's American Life album put me on the path towards completing my very first screenplay, the title of which would go on to be the theme of every script I have written in the ten years since: Disillusion. The realization that I was fantasy-obsessed, and patterning my life after Madonna's career, was obvious to my loved ones ever since I poured all of my nine year old creative energies into that video tribute to "Vogue". But my own epiphany would not come about until the release of American Life, ten years ago today. I figured there would already be plenty of fellow SuperFans putting this album and its unprecedented commercial failure against the backdrop of the cultural climate that followed the horrors of 9/11 and preceded the horrors of The Iraq War. So instead of a sociopolitical context, I thought I'd do what I do best and put this album into the context of....Me.
Rather than a proper multimedia retrospective, I offer a random assembly of thoughts, linked by some of my favorite tracks from one of my favorite albums. It's me at my most honest and unstructured because American Life is Madonna at her most honest and unstructured. And who would I be if not someone who lives and breathes to pay tribute to Her? Whereas now I can say that as a tongue-in-cheek nod to my trademark penchant for idol worship, such a statement would have been a lot less ironic ten years ago. Up until "The American Life Era", my devotion to Madonna could theoretically have been read as amusing, admirable, or pathetic. It was Madonna herself who not-so-subtly encouraged me to look deeper into myself and how I could contribute to the world with the same passion with which I contributed to her record sales. It was, specifically, a statement she made when performing before an audience of SuperFans at an HMV Record Store in London on May 9th, 2003.
"In the process I forgot....that I was special too."
It was the sort of promotion one would expect from an artist at the launch of their career, not the relaunch. Fans slept on the street to get into that ultra-exclusive, never-broadcast mini-concert. Yet while Madonna thanked them for their worship, she also encouraged them to put it towards their own betterment, not just hers. As she worded it herself that day:
"If you want to pay tribute to me, do something important with your life."
Those three words rang through my head, for they gave me permission to love myself as much as I loved Madonna. Initially, "maximizing my own potential", as a guru might put it, was the ultimate tribute to my idol. But in time (thanks to my impeccable taste in idols) the desire to do good had (roughly) as much to do with love for humanity as it did with worshipping a Goddess. Thanks to the impact that Madonna's American Life had on my American life, today my devotion to Madonna is defined by self-respect and a commitment to my own growth as an artist and human being. It all began the summer after the album was released, when I sacrificed my busy social life to commit myself to the isolation I required in order to complete a screenplay. Whereas my life before American Life was dominated by watching movies, my life after American Life has been dominated by writing movies: nearly all of my film viewership since 2003 has, for better or worse, been a part of my own artistic process. And it was Madonna's "Life" which opened the creative floodgates.
Thanks, Madonna!
Even though American Life continues the journey Madonna embarked upon with Ray of Light and subsequently Music, in many ways this is, in fact, a reboot of her career—hence those record store gigs on both sides of the pond. If Confessions On A Dancefloor was the 21st century reincarnation of her eponymous first album, then this was the debut record of the artist who Madonna was before she ever signed a recording contract, back when she shifted between rock and disco in New York clubs. Her guitar work on this album is apparently amateurish (I wouldn't know one way or another) but it's also as painfully honest as an adolescent love letter (which I can vouch for with more assurance). Ditto her youthful, almost child-like singing, a far cry from the post-Evita vocal training that impressed and divided listeners of Ray of Light and Music. For the "calculating" SuperDiva to have been so vulnerable and unpolished remains among the ballsiest moves Madonna ever made. It also defined the "screw the career, I'm finally happy" quality of both the album itself and how it was sold to the record-buying public.
The first televised performance of one of my all-time favorite songs.
I was convinced American Life would be a smash, though that didn't stop me from buying ten copies of the CD in its first week of release to help it debut at #1 in America—which it did, giving Madonna her first back-to-back #1 albums in the U.S. since the 80s. Alas, it was soon to tumble down the charts. Fearing my overspending was bad karma and lead to weak sales, I went on to buy another eighteen copies on CD, vinyl, and eventually digital download between 2003-2005. This meant a lot of people were gifted copies of American Life during the two and a half years when it was "the new Madonna album". I gave a copy to the security guard at my building. I handed out a few to fellow college stoners after passing around my old bong, "Veronica Electronica", while not-so-subtly playing the full length album. (Cannabis has never diminished my ability to be a fascist host to my company.) I even mailed CDs to friends and relatives along with a wordy letter about how Madonna's new album was her best ever and yet was being totally ignored by radio stations and in turn record buyers. In fact, quite a few of those friends and relatives became bigger Madonna fans after they actually heard the album. I even gave a CD to one of the first guys I ever hooked up with on his way out my door. The encounter was lovely, but the greatest pleasure that came out of that afternoon was learning that the album made him a bigger Madonna fan, too.
"How could it hurt you when it looks so good?"
Like many fans, I often wonder where Madonna's career would have lead, or what completely new shape it might have taken, had American Life sold as many copies in America as did the two albums that preceded it. It could have been the political mood of the country. It could have been the hostile reaction to the panned performances Madonna gave onstage in Up For Grabs and on the big-screen in Swept Away and Die Another Day. Or maybe it was just the same good old-fashioned misogyny that made the life-after-forty years of Bette Davis and Joan Crawford an uphill battle against "you already made it, so now be quiet" ageism.
"Do I have to chaaaange?!"
Ultimately, American Life's commercial failure shaped the subsequent decade of Madonna's career. She began to embrace her "greatest hits" catalogue on The Re-Invention Tour, and returned to a full-on dance music album after American Life's commercial and promo-only remixes dominated the Billboard Dance/Club Play charts for two years. Like most fans, I thought Confessions On A Dancefloor was an even better album--in fact, it's my personal favorite of all time, and I imagine it always will be. But "Confessions" is not simply a great album: it is the perfect companion to the downtempo American Life, and I could never have loved "Confessions" if I had not first fallen in love with "Life". Personally, I have always regarded both as Disc 1 & Disc 2 of a haphazard Double LP sent from the Gods and Goddesses of Pop Utopia. You cannot fully appreciate the exquisite pleasures of one without the other, and you cannot deny that each takes the listener on a journey from hard thumping to pleasant release. (Feel free to view those words as an aural, lyrical, sexual, or spiritual reference: all four interpretations apply to both albums.) And so today I honor not only American Life, one of Madonna's best albums and one of my favorite works of art, but also the incomparable changes it lead to in my life. I cannot put into words just how grateful I am to Madonna for weathering an embarrassing commercial failure in the (X-static) process of inspiring countless artists like myself. And to think, it's only been ten years....I'm thrilled to imagine the influence that this truly timeless, ever-listenable album will continue to have on my life and millions of others in the decades to come.
"And the world can look so sad....only you make me feel good."

There is a grassy field you have to walk across to get on the trails. The blue trail is nice/short/easy. Tried to do the orange trail but by the time I got to the 3rd tree down across the trail, I decided to turn back and come back after they have had a chance to go through there after the last crazy storm we just had.
Met some nice folks on the trail today...was quite foggy so the whole area had an eerie feeling. Trail is close to my home so I'm looking forward to exploring some more in nicer weather.
beware of hunters! i was out on 11/4/17, the parking. area (which only holds about 5 cars comfortably) was almost full. i walked down the trail a bit until i noticed someone wearing bright orange off in the distance. that's when i realized this must be a popular hunting spot. i high tailed it back to the parking area and i did hear gunshots. i double checked the information at the trail head to make sure hiking was allowed and it is. i guess just wear orange if you're coming during hunting season!
G F. on Cranberry Mountain Trail
Well maintained trails. Nice, easy loop around the lake with some other loop trails connecting. Beautiful wildflower fields.
The trails are overgrown especially at the begging and are not clearly marked and don't make sense. Had to back track two or three times and came off the trail covered in ticks.
I went here to hike with my dog. A hunter made me leave because I wasn't wearing orange... It took me thirty minutes to drive here. So this trail is more of hunting trail........ Not hiking......
Nice run. Area is beautiful in autumn colors. Take a trail map: Trails are marked, but map does not give the colors. Has some open spaces and different types of forest, which gives some nice variation.
I love this area - it's very quiet and secluded, and just beautiful.
Not bad, but a bit buggy
As another review said, definitely get a map online before going. There is no map at the parking lot and the trails are not evident. They are nicely marked once you find one. Great and secluded trail system (is a challenge just find entrance).
This is an excellent spot for those looking for an easy hike or one that is a bit more intense. Multiple trails are available for different skill levels.
The trail by the waterfall/stream is a nice steady incline with great views of the water. Also this trail is pretty cool (temp) in the summertime and there is a spot to take a dip below a waterfall if you wish(or your dog).
Other trails take you up and over the mountain for a more intense workout/hike. There are a couple lookouts to find that are showed on the map. My favorite is the one closest to the paring lot.
They don't supply maps. Make sure you know where you're going before you start. (Download a map online). The trails are well kept and have some great views.
Great trail system, double track & jeep roads. Flat & fast & not at all technical. Across Stagecoach Rd. A little further down toward the dead end is the white trail head for the Ciolia trail system with a nice overlook into CT and the valley. Two separate parking lots so plenty of parking. Area might be open to hunters in season as I saw a guy out there today asking me about the deer so wear orange to be safe. Ability to do a modified figure 8 loop from the Putnam County Lot at the Main Ciolia Trailhead on the NY/CT boarder using the blue trail which has some decent technicality and climb. Run Strong! -DJ
Great hike with options that can be made 4 hours long or as short as an hour. A little bit of a climb to Cranberry Mt., but fairly flat other than that. Ciaiola trail is across the street if you want to make it an all day hike.
Easy hike. Opens up into a huge meadow and trail leads into the woods. Eventually you will end up at a small lake. It has a grass area that's nice to sit and relax on and take in the view. You're at elevation but can't really see much. Parking is tight, only room for about 4-5 cars.

The Great Storm of '63 - '64
"Frozen Tundra at the Super Bowl"
Dick McNider, a former Alabama state climatologist and the founding father of the atmospheric science program at UAH, remembers the Dec. 31, 1963 - Jan. 1, 1964, snow storm as the year frozen tundra came to the Sugar Bowl.
A student at Flomaton (Ala.) High School that year, McNider and his family got tickets to that year's Sugar Bowl between the University of Alabama and the Ole Miss Rebels.
New Year's Eve was cold and the sky was grey. Afternoon flurries gave way to heavier snow, which was not a common thing on the Alabama-Florida state line just north of Pensacola, Fla.
"I think I had seen snow one other time, but that's the only snow I remember," McNider said.
By morning, two or three inches of snow covered the ground in Flomaton, McNider said. "The bigger snow was to the west. We saw on television where New Orleans had maybe eight to ten inches of snow, and around Biloxi they had close to a foot.
"So we started our trip and the roads were OK, because that far south the ground was just not very cold so the snow melted away pretty quickly," he said. "I remember ... there was a pickup truck parked where we stopped for gas in Biloxi, and the bed of the pickup was almost completely filled up with snow. And when you looked at the beaches around Biloxi, it looked like white sandy beaches because the snow went all the way to the water.
"I used to watch professional football on television, and they had like Green Bay and even the New York Giants, and they would have snow piled up on the sidelines," McNider recalled. "To me, that was something I had never seen in person. But when we got to the old Sugar Bowl, which was in Tulane Stadium, they had cleaned the field off but they had piles of snow along the sidelines.
"To me, it was sort of exotic, like seeing something in New York, Minnesota or something like that."
That snowstorm and watching hurricanes churning in the Gulf of Mexico helped to fuel McNider's interest in weather, which he has pursued as a career.
(For those who are interested, Alabama beat the Rebels that day 12-9, despite starting quarterback Joe Namath having been suspended from the team by Coach Bear Bryant.)

Zell Miller, Former U.S. Senator
I truly believe in the power of prayer and I have lived my whole life on faith. This book speaks to my heart.
Dolly Parton
I have no doubt that I am alive and well today due to the fervent prayers of some wonderful Southern women. Ronda, beautifully and entertainingly, tells stories of the kind of Southern women I know. Their faith is the guiding force in their lives and they discuss it all, and I mean it all, with their Heavenly Father. Like me, I think he, too, is a softie for a Southern accent.
Jeff Foxworthy, Comedian
Faith is certainly not particular to Southern women, but a few of its revelations and reverberations are. With her right-smack-on voice and sensitivities, Ronda Rich can tell you much about the heart of the Southern woman, and why her faith is such a buoyant and living force in her life.
Anne Rivers Siddons, NYT bestselling author
Y'all, it's amazing how far faith and prayer can carry you. The Serenity Prayer carried this Southern woman to where I am today. This book is a beautiful and inspiring example of Southern women and their faith.
Paula Deen
What Southern Women Know about Faith is the kind of book youll want to give every woman, and man, on your gift list! It is chock-full of the insights and truths about life that simply must be shared.
Cassandra King, New York Times Best-selling Author The Sunday Wife
"Using her humor, wit and wisdom, Ronda Rich depicts perfectly what it means to be a Southern woman of strength, softness and faith."
Marsha Barbour, First Lady of Mississippi

As many readers of this blog surely know, the Seventh-day Adventist Church encourages (but does not require) a vegan (or vegan + honey) diet. I have quite a few Adventist cookbooks, and you can check out currently available ones via the Adventist Book Center. One of my oldest Adventist books is Ten Talents by Rosalie and Frank Hurd, from 1968. It has been hard to find in the past, but is now back in print.
I wanted to try a recipe I've never made before, and picked the millet - pumpkin seed patties. These just happen to be soy-free, gluten-free, and completely delicious. We will definitely make them again.
4 c cooked millet
1 c cooked brown rice
1 c raw pumpkin seeds, ground fine
1/4 c cashew nuts, ground - or cashew butter
3 T oil
1 t salt
1 t onion powder
1 t sage
Mix everything together, form patties, and fry. These patties want to stick, so you need a well-seasoned or non-stick skillet, thoroughly heated, with enough oil. The Hurds say you can bake them, but I haven't tried that. They are nice and crispy on the outside, and creamy on the inside. You can sprinkle them with paprika if you want more color. The Hurds suggest serving the patties with their Cashew Milk Gravy, which is both easy and tasty:
2 c water
1/2 c cashew nuts
2 T arrowroot
2 t onion powder
2 T oil
1/2 t salt
Blend thoroughly until completely smooth. Cook in a saucepan over medium heat, whisking, until thick.

Slavery is alive and going on in homes around the world, including in homes in the UK, the US, Australia and New Zealand. Large numbers of domestic workers (AKA, in archaic terms, as "housemaids"), have little power or employment rights, and do most of their work behind the closed doors of people's homes. Yet mainstream movies and TV programmes, from Downton Abbey to Devious Maids tend to present such jobs as being for caring and protective employers and/or as being powerful and glamorous.

Not so devious maids: Living with slavery
Perils of engaging with 'full take' drama 'heroes'
The revelations about NZ's GCSB mass, 'full take', surveillance of communications in Pacific countries have resulted in far less criticism of the government than Key's decision to send troops to Iraq. This is in spite of the muddled, inadequate, contradictory responses by John Key. And it is in spite of some mainstream and alternative media journalists/columnists criticisms of Key's responses (see for instance, Andrea Vance, Gordon Campbell, David Fisher, Toby Manhire), and the fact that:
most of the targets are not security threats to New Zealand, as has been suggested by the Government.
Images of the likes of 'Jihadi John', ready made arch villain, for cowboys versus Indians style narratives, are likely to have a strong influence on many people's political views – maybe more so than reasoned, evidence-based criticism.
Larger than life images of fictional (and fictionalised real) 'heroes' and 'villains' provides the most direct means for large numbers to engage with political, social and economic issues. In the mainstream, images and related narratives of the likes of 'Jihadi John' may have more meaning for many Kiwis than references to faceless GCSB workers, or critics of mass surveillance.
Images of a peace vigil: "Not in our name!"
The peace vigil at Aotea Square last evening, was peaceful. Many have explained why John Key's decision to send (non combat?) troops to Iraq was a poor decision, and undemocratic. Russel Norman had said:
… the West waging wars in the Middle East created the conditions that gave rise to Islamic State in the first place.
"We're basically putting people in harm's way; some of our troops will be putting their lives in danger and for what?
"For adding to the problem of Western intervention in the Middle East, which in the past has solved nothing and in fact has made it worse," Dr Norman said.
A group of people had come to the vigil well prepared with their banners and placards – showing a bit of Kiwi DIY ingenuity. The images below are from the peace vigil.
Nationwide peace vigils vs deployment to Iraq Thurs 5 March
There are many good reasons for not sending NZ troops to support the US campaign against the Islamic State in Iraq. Thursday 5 March, there will be vigils to express opposition to the deployment:
No military deployment in Iraq: Nationwide peace vigils
Peace vigils calling for increased humanitarian assistance and diplomatic support for Middle East peace processes, and opposing the military deployment to Iraq, will be held around the country at 5pm on Thursday, 5 March, coordinated by Peace Movement Aotearoa. Details for each vigil are included below and available online at https://www.facebook.com/events/757364991025571 and http://www.converge.org.nz/pma/iraq2015.htm – please share the links, thank you. The details of vigils in other towns and cities will be added to those pages as soon as they are confirmed.
The Hillary Clinton TV fictions: "State of Affairs" s01e01
The pilot/season one episode 1 of State of Affairs, is a higher quality production than Madam Secretary (I wrote about this and other Hillary Clinton influenced TV fictions in earlier posts) .
State of Affairs (SoA) draws fairly innovatively on recent portrayals of female characters with, or connected to, political power. It slightly redefines women's roles, but this is contained within the wider, masculine political and social institutions. – and corporate-dominated capitalist system.
Trailer for the first episode (episode shown this week on NZ TV3):
John Key vs Clarke & Dawe: slippery as
This week David Parker cited John Key's similarity to Clarke and Dawe. How similar are they? The slipperiness seems hilarious, until you look at the actual consequences: the erosion of democracy and the undermining of NZ's independence (or what's left of it) internationally. Today Toby Manhire exposes some of the contradictions.
John Key's leadership is one of diverting from, burying, and avoiding any honest accountability.
David Parker does John Key as Clarke and Dawe – a true story. John Key in a press stand up, being question on his private dinner with Donghua Liu. [h/t The Standard]

This an excellent battle to refight, but only if your opponent is not familiar with it.
My friend was not familiar with it and he played it very much along the lines of Lafayette (including being suspicious).
The British forces are far larger than the briefing indicates, particularly on the American left flank. Initially the forces on the table are small, and this allows a skirmish type feel to the game, until the American main force arrives to be surprised by the British forces hiding in the woods waiting for the American advance. Our battle very much shadowed the actual events of the real action.
The pictures I took did not come out too well, a bit fuzzy, hence the video report.

A Canadian jury on Sunday found a Montreal Muslim father, wife and son guilty of the first degree murder of the parents' three teenage daughters and a co-wife in the Muslim practice known as "honor killing."
After 15 hours of deliberations, the jury found Mohammad Shafia, 58; his wife Tooba, 42; and their son Hamed, 21, each guilty of four counts of first-degree murder. First-degree murder carries an automatic life sentence with no chance of parole for 25 years.
Prosecutors said the defendants, who are originally from Afghanistan, murdered the three teenage sisters because they felt they had dishonored the family by defying its rules on dress, dating and use of the Internet.
The judge described the crimes as "cold-blooded, shameful murders" resulting from a "twisted concept of honor."
The victims were Hamed's sisters Zainab, 19, Sahar 17, and Geeti, 13, as well as Rona Amir Mohammad, 52, Shafia's childless first wife in a polygamous marriage. Their bodies were found in the family's Nissan, submerged in a lock on the Rideau Canal on June 30, 2009.
The prosecution convinced the court that the deaths were the result premeditated murder, staged to look like an accident after it was carried out. The murderers drowned their victims, then placed their bodies in the car and pushed it into the canal.
In a statement following the verdict, Canadian Justice Minister Rob Nicholson called honor killings a practice that is "barbaric and unacceptable in Canada."
According to CBC, the Shafias moved to Canada in 2007, having fled their native Afghanistan more than 15 years earlier. They had lived in Dubai and Australia before moving to Montreal and applying for citizenship. Mohammad Shafia was a prosperous business man who owned commercial property in the Montreal area and ran a business buying used cars in North America and shipping them overseas.
The court heard evidence showing that Rona had been unhappy in the marriage, while Zainab and Sahar, the two eldest daughters, had trouble with the strict household rules, which included a prohibition on relationships with boys. Both had secret boyfriends, wore fashionable clothes and resisted pressure from their parents and eldest brother to wear the hijab. Geeti was described as a rebel who also resisted her family's rules.

Heart live at Hammerstein Ballroom
Photos by G.
The Wilson sisters, Ann and Nancy, better known as Heart, played a sold out show at New York's Hammerstein Ballroom on August 3, 2010. Even though they've been around since 1973, they sounded and looked as great as they did when they first hit the scene 37 years ago! In my dream scenario, I really wanted to hear "Magic Man," "Crazy on You" and "Barracuda." They must have read my mind because they played all three songs in a row! I naturally lost my mind. They also did covers of Led Zeppelin's "What is and What Should Never Be" (and rocked the HELL out of it, I might add); The Who's "Love Reign O'er Me" and played a snippet of "Gimmie Shelter" by the Rolling Stones. Ann Wilson's voice is a powerhouse and she sounds as good, if not better than she does on record. It's no wonder that Heart are commonly referred to as the "female Led Zeppelin." They rocked hard for the entire show. They dipped into every decade of their back catalog and played 80's smash hits such as "Never," "Alone" and "These Dreams." The new songs from their upcoming album "Red Velvet Car," which is released at the end of August 2010, were pretty good as well. They played the title track, a track called "Hey You," which is not the Pink Floyd song, as well as a song called "WTF" which is about looking in the mirror and pondering "what the f–k was I thinking?!" It's a crime that Heart are not in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame because they were and are still amazing nearly 40 years later. A video of "What is and What Should Never Be" will be coming soon, so stay tuned. If they come to your town, you'd be a fool not to see these legends!
See some more pictures of Heart plus the set list, after the jump.

Now, for my mashed potato recipe.
Peel and cube about 5 large organic yukon gold potatoes. Place in pot with cold water and a pinch of kosher salt and bring to a boil. When they are fork tender put into a mixing bowl or stand mixer (I like fluffy, not lumpy mashed potatoes). To the potatoes add minced garlic (to taste), about 1 or 2 tbsp. of good organic extra virgin olive oil, a pinch of salt and homemade cashew cream (about 1/2 cup, or until you reach a creamy consistency). If you don't know how to make cashew cream follow my post from July 5th, only don't add anything except the water, cashews and salt, no one wants sweetened vanilla cream in their potatoes. Using an electric mixer, mix until very fluffy and delicious. Now layer the potatoes, gravy and roast. I have a ton of veggies and juices left so I used about 1/3 for gravy and used my immersion blender to create a soup with the rest for Austin to take to work all week. Best way to stretch a dollar :) Enjoy!

|Daikon and watermelon radishes,
celery, purple/orange carrots
|Tiny French Breakfast radishes can be kept whole after trimming
I use whatever I grow or whatever I find cheap. At farmer's markets and farm stands, the best bet is to get whatever is in peak season. If everyone has it, the price will be lower than if it is an early harvest. Aldi often has great bargains on produce (I often find $.25 cukes). A "foodie" grocery in my area is kind of pricey, but they have outrageous produce bargains to get you in the door (things like $.50 bunches of radishes). Sales at the regular grocery store can yield good results. If your store has a manager's special produce rack, definitely check it out; just make sure the items aren't too far past their prime. Also check the prepped produce section. I often find fantastic prices this way and the work is already done! Buy items however they are cheapest. Sometimes I find that baby carrots are half the price per pound compared to full carrots; other times it is the opposite. Sometimes the cleaned, topped and bagged radishes are cheaper than the bunches with tops; other times I buy the bunches and use the tops in my cooking greens. The important thing is flexibility. Use whatever is cheapest that you like and get a good variety so you get a broad spectrum of nutrients.
|Hakurei turnips, purple carrots
white radishes
We use a wide variety and the mix is always changing: radishes, celery, cherry/grape tomatoes, carrots, sweet peppers, hakurei turnips, cucumbers, certain summer squashes, sweet peas, young green beans (this was my favorite snack as a kid on the farm. My parents always planted the green beans next to the corn. My friend and I would hide in the cornrows and sneak the beans as soon as they were a few inches long. My parents never knew why all their beans did well except that one row, every year), broccoli, cauliflower, asparagus, fennel, mushrooms, baby corn, scallions, kohlrabi, winter squash (I still don't know why more people don't snack on this raw. It has great texture and incredible taste), parsnips, or even chioggia or touchstone beets (don't use the traditional red beets as they stain everything, including your fingers).
|Cherry tomatoes, vine ripened, are the ultimate snack food.
It is more convenient to grab one of these containers and head back to the desk rather than to get a bag of chips (which I conveniently keep at the very top shelf near the ceiling so it can barely be reached without fetching a step stool). If we are going to take a road trip, we grab a large container and will easily hit our 3-5 servings by the time we arrive at our destination. Sometimes we will pile a bunch of items on a plate and watch a movie, while munching on crunchy snacks that aren't loaded with salt and fat. It also helps if I am making dinner in a hurry. The veggies are all chopped to roughly the same size, so it is nothing to toss into a skillet to saute and serve over rice or pasta, toss into stock for an easy soup, or toss with olive oil and seasoning for a quick side of roast veg.

The boy has a knack with voices.
He switches off when he hears mine but otherwise he seems to be developing a talent for accents and impressions.
The performer in me is very proud of the speed at which he can just take someone off. The sensible side of me worries that one day I'm going to get thumped when he does it in public to the wrong person.
The boy does a scarily accurate impression of Nanny P and on Monday, on his first ever bus ride, (yes I know he's 4 and a half, that's one of the reasons I wanted him to go on one before he starts school, it's a '50 things to do before you're 5' type of thing), he started doing an impression of me.
We discovered this talent for mimicry on holiday, when we spent a day at Drayton Manor theme park to visit the boys spiritual home, Thomas Land.
For a start I thought he was going to spontaneously combust with excitement as soon as we walked through the gates. Also hubby and I had discussed getting a second mortgage just to get round the gift shop, but in the end we got away with one train (bought with his holiday spending money), a window sticker and a small book and the boy had probably the best day of his life so far.
However, when we were waiting to get back onto the little Thomas train that linked one part of the park to another (and boy did we go up and down on that train a lot that day), a man with a thick Scottish brogue called his little boy to come closer to him. It wasn't the full Glaswegian but it was pretty strong as accents go.
"Frasier, Frasier" called the guy.
Like a parrot, the boy immediately copied him and called the name out twice himself.
I don't think the chap heard, or if he did he was too polite to say anything, but I was filled with a mixture of admiration at the speed and accuracy of the impression and down right fear someone was going to get punched.
Then it happened again late one afternoon in our local Co-Op. I'd taken the boy to buy sweets to decorate the cakes we'd baked for his last day at nursery. As we were choosing we heard a lady, obscured from our view and from two aisles across, say in a reasonably deep Suffolk accent,
"Do we need any bread?"
The boy mimicked the way she said bread instantly.
'Bread? Bread?" and then finished it off with the surreal, 'Pirates eat bread."
"Yes that's right they do dear- Pirates eat bread." I added to make it sound like I was having a perfectly normally conversation with my four year old and he most definitely wasn't taking the P out of this woman we couldn't see!
But just to be on the safe side we ducked round the back of the shop and looked at the tinned goods until I was quite sure she was gone.
So today the boy starts school and with his talent for voices and impressions I'm hoping he'll be a popular lad with his classmates in the playground.
I just hope he doesn't take off the teachers.... well not on his first day anyway.

As you can see from the illustration below, primate faces are extremely variable. Sharlene Santana, Jessica Alfaro and Michael Alfaro of the University of California, Los Angeles were interested in how that diversity came about. They found that both local environments and population size were driving factors in facial evolution.
Eleven species of Neotropical (Central and South American) primates were compared. In each case, two to ten photographs of adult males were studied. Each face was divided into fourteen sections which were graded for colors and patterns of hair and skin.
Primates from Central and South America. (1) Cacajao calvus, (2) Callicebus hoffmansi, (3) Ateles belzebuth, (4) Alouatta caraya, (5) Aotus trivirgatus, (6) Cebus nigritus, (7) Saimiri boliviensis, (8) Leontopithecus rosalia, (9) Callithrix kuhli, (10) Saguinus martinsi and (11) Saguinus imperator.

Interestingly, they found that primates that live in small groups have more complex facial patterns (varying colors, alternating areas of hair and skin) than those that live in large social groups. As Santana says:
We found very strong support for the idea that as species live in larger groups, their faces become more simple, more plain.
In case you're wondering what this says about humans, by the criteria of this study, we have extremely plain faces. But don't feel bad. The authors suggest that plainness correlates with expressiveness. Emotional content can be read more easily on a plain face, which is much more important for individuals living in large groups.
Among the additional findings, species that live near other members of the same genus had more complex facial features than primates with no closely related neighbor species. Presumably, this helps to avoid hybridization between similar species. Also, colorization of specific facial regions correlated well with latitude and forestation. Monkeys living at higher latitudes had lighter crowns but darker nose and mouth patches than those at lower latitudes, those in forested regions had darker crowns and eye patches than those in open areas.
Taken together, the data suggest that facial differences did not arise by random chance but are selected for based on behavior (group size) and location.
You can see a slide show of monkey faces (not necessarily the ones in this study) presented by BBC Nature here.

Common closed-loop stepper motor controller system has NEMA23 NEMA34 NEMA52 NEMA54, in the purchase of closed-loop step must pay attention to see the motor frame.
If you need a non-standard flange closed-loop stepper motor, then you need to consult the business can provide, also need to consider the cost of the problem, the common flange motor is generally more expensive, and need to customize.
About step angle,Common are 1.8 degree or 1.2 degree.The formula for calculating the pulse is 360/1.8 or 360/1.2.
There is also a very important parameter,How much torque do you need to support your device.In general the common motor torque is about 1N.M to 20N.M,The greater the torque, the more expensive the price.But the relative servo, the closed-loop stepper control a lot cheaper.After all, the servo is more accurate.
The application of closed-loop stepping is very extensive,For how to design a mechanical transmission system, I will explain in detail in the next article for you.

Quick Tip Tuesday: Finding the main idea
May 5th, 2009
In their recent book Test Talk: Integrating Test Preparation into Reading Workshop, Amy Greene and Glennon Doyle Melton show teachers ways to empower students and raise test scores without compromising their beliefs about good teaching and learning. They demonstrate how to imporive performance on tests without responding to "teaching to the test" pressures. In this week's Quick Tip, Glennon shows how she conducts a unit on finding the main idea of a story, while also preparing her students for the language they will find in their standardized test.
Beginning a Unit About Main Idea
It's mid-October in Glennon's third-grade reading workshop. The class has just completed a unit of study about recounting the plot of a text. Today the students will begin a unit about finding the main idea in fiction.
The children are gathered at her feet, listening intently to their third Patricia Polacco book of the week, Thank You, Mr. Falker (1998). It is the story of a girl named Tricia who moves to a new school and struggles to learn to read. The students alternate between listening to Glennon read and reflecting on the text with a partner when she stops to ask discussion questions. After she is finished reading the text, Glennon draws a chart on the board and titles the first column Plot and the second column Themes/Main Ideas. She reminds the students that plot is the set of events that happen in a story or passage and can be found right in the text. She asks the students to recount the plot of Thank You, Mr. Falker to her, and she records the events in sequential order in the first column.
Glennon then turns her attention to the second column and connects students' background knowledge to the new concept by saying, "Since you are experts about finding the plot of a text, today we are going to move ahead and start learning about another very important part of a text called the main idea or theme. The main ideas are the big ideas or lessons that the author wants us to think about and learn from his or her text. This is a really important skill to have because it helps us understand and enjoy our reading, and it is also a skill that the SOL will test you on at the end of the year. Let's figure out how to find the main ideas together. Remember when we studied finding the plot of a story or a test passage? Can anyone think aloud with me about what you do when you have to find the plot of a passage, like on the SOL?"
B.J. raises his hand and says, "I just start at the beginning and try to think of everything that I read. It's really easy." "Finding the plot is pretty easy, isn't it? To find the plot of a text, we simply recount the events that the author included in the text. But finding the main ideas is trickier because they are not usually written right in the text. We have to read and then use our schema with the text to infer the main ideas. We have to think about the characters and their feelings more.
"How do you think Tricia felt when her mom told her they were moving?" Ahmed raises his hand and says, "I think Tricia felt scared that her new class would make fun of her because she doesn't know how to read."
Glennon has modeled quality talk all year; she teaches her students to speak in complete sentences and support opinions with evidence from the text. The other students nod in agreement with Ahmed's thought and Glennon records his comment in a notebook. Next, she rereads a passage in which a bully named Eric is teasing Tricia about her difficulty with reading. She pauses to say, "Turn to a partner and discuss your thoughts about the way Eric is behaving toward Tricia." After the students have discussed, she rereads the last page of the book and says, "Talk to your partner one more time about what you think Patricia Polacco would want her readers to learn from this book."
During each of the partner discussion times, Glennon circulates among her students and records their ideas in her notebook to be used during the next part of the lesson. Glennon directs the students back to the chart at the front of the room. She writes the word fear in the Main Ideas column and says, "Ahmed's idea was that Tricia was afraid that her new class would laugh at her. Does anyone have a connection with that?" Glennon's first unit of study this year was about becoming better readers by making connections to text.
Giselle responds, "I have a connection with that. I know how Tricia felt because I was scared when I came here from my country. I didn't think anyone would speak my language." Glennon writes "fear of being different" on the chart paper. "I heard Nancy tell her partner that Eric was jealous of Tricia because Mr. Falker seemed to like her drawing," Glennon adds. She writes the word "jealousy" on the chart paper and asks, "Who can connect with jealousy?" "I felt jealous when my baby sister was born. I felt like my parents would forget about me," says Rokshar. Other students show their connections to Rokshar's comment by nodding.
Michael raises his hand. "I think it is cool that Tricia can't read but can draw really well, and Eric can read but can't draw well," he says. Mark agrees. "Yeah, everyone has things they are good at and things that they need help with." Glennon writes "strengths and weaknesses" on the chart paper.
Then Glennon asks, "What do you think Patricia Polacco wants us to know or learn about life from her book Thank You, Mr. Falker? What were the main ideas in the book? Use our list and the text-to-self connections you made while we read to help you." Students partner-talk and then share ideas such as fear, family love, and learning not to give up. Glennon concludes by connecting their ideas and discussion to the test once again. At the bottom of the chart, she creates a multiple-choice question in the same format the SOL uses.
Which is NOT a main idea in Patricia Pollacco's Thank You, Mr. Falker?
A fear
B jealousy
C strengths and weaknesses
D sportsmanship
Glennon encourages the students to use their test-taking strategies to navigate the question, and, after they have answered, she asks, "Why is it important to be able to find the main ideas in a text, beside the fact that it will be on our SOLS?" The class giggles and Bo Hyun raises her hand. "Because reading a story is sometimes like learning a lesson," she says. "If you can't find the main idea, you don't get the lesson!"
Glennon reinforces his thinking. "That's so smart! When readers read fiction and test takers read passages, they can't just read the text. They have to use their schema and their hearts to decide what the author wanted them to learn or think about. Sometimes tests call this the main idea or theme. We'll learn more about this tomorrow."

Wow, how exciting!!!! I have thought about this moment for months now as I've drooled over many fabulous blogs, on a daily basis. Its safe to say I have developed a small obsession for the blog world & all things interior design like.
I have talked of starting my own blog for a while now but fear of failure & humiliation & a very limited amount of computer skills has been holding me back, but hey, the best way to learn is to throw yourself in at the deep end....isn't it......So here I am!!!!
Twelve months ago my husband & I packed up our 4 children & relocated from a small town in the beautiful Blue Mountains in Australia. There wasn't a lot of career options or entertainment in our home town & we wanted to ensure the kids had every opportunity to get the most out of life. So we moved them 3 hours north to the Hunter Valley. Now we have everything you could ever need ,all within a 40min radius. We are surrounded by mountains, vineyards & beaches. There are universities, trade colleges, private colleges & employement opportunities in every industry imaginable & we love it!!!!

So let's escape to the craft room! I thought you might like a little tour, since it's in pretty decent shape these days. Let's see what we have. In the far corner over there is the plant that my cats can't stay away from. This thing has been chewed to within an inch of it's life and bounced back at least twice. Now it lives in here where the cats are forbidden from entering. Next to that is my sewing area. Rather plush, don't you think? Behind you is the bureau that holds everything from a hot glue gun to window clings. My mother has been relegated to one empty drawer to stuff all her things into. And it's the top drawer. You know, the skinny one.
There are some projects going on. The favorite bulldozer PJ's with the blown out knee. I think I'll make them PJ shorts for the summertime. Realistically, I might not finish in time for the older kidster, but hopefully the younger one will get them. They are perched on top of some plastic canvas. It's probably going to be the base reinforcement for the magenta fuzz bag, but still brewing that one.
In front of that is a random purse lining. I made it before I made the purse. I was making the lining for the blue camo bag (below) and had just enough material left over. I whipped it out while I was in the mood, since usually the sewing part is the part I never seem to get to. Still haven't made the purse for it yet. Go figure.
The blue camo bag is done except for adding the magnetic buttons and attaching the lining to the purse. Should take about half hour, right? Ha. It's been this way for about a year now. Yes, that is a newly abandoned high chair invading my space. At least it has a usable flat surface!
On the cutting board is the fabric I just cut for the pockets to add to the lining of the magenta one affectionately known as the fuzz bag. Which is over here on the ironing board.Thanks for taking this little tour with me. I have completely forgotten about all the screaming. But is has reminded me that I need to get some things finished around here. So if you have unfinished projects too, don't feel so bad. If you don't, well, to heck with ya!
No, really, how about some encouragement?

Trying to Compete with Google
In what Bloomberg states is "the biggest-ever technology takeover," Microsoft made an unsolicited $44.6 billion bid for Yahoo. That figure marks a 62% premium of Yahoo's stock price as of yesterday's closing.
It seems this bid is the culmination of the roller-coaster ride Yahoo has been on the past month: first, according to one report, the Yahoo CFO Susan Decker stated, "We don't think it's reasonable to assume we're going to gain a lot of share from Google […]. It's not our goal to be No. 1 in Internet search. We would be very happy to maintain our market share." (as of September of 2007, Yahoo's share of search traffic was approximately 19.5%, followed by MSN at 12%, compared to Google's 54%). Second, Chairman and ex-CEO Terry Semel left the Yahoo board. He is credited it reviving the company and then "losing touch," not being able to gain on Google's dominance as quickly as others had hoped.
This hope was one of the reasons Yahoo ditched merger talks last year: "In a letter to Yahoo's board, Mr. Ballmer wrote that the two companies discussed a possible merger, as well as other ways to work together, in late 2006 and 2007. Mr. Ballmer said that in February 2007, Yahoo decided to end the merger discussions because its board was confident in the company's 'upside.'" Now that that potential "upside" has fizzled out, it may be we'll see this bid actually go through, especially since the search advertising market could possibly grow to $80 billion by 2010.
Found a copy of the letter sent to Yahoo by Microsoft, and a great analysis of the possible merger on Forbes (the title? "A Messy Marriage"… gotta love it).

Hey all,
While I would like to talk to you about the the other week-end I spent with my girlfriend in which we decided to go to Ikea as Girlfriend and Girlfriend. There's something else I want to talk about.
Since I've started dressing up and going into public in 2006, I've never encountered any problems. The worst I had encountered was the heckling of a couple of people a year or so ago in the metro. They didn't do anything because I didn't pay much attention to them. ( Actually that's not accurate. I didn't want to pay them attention. ) Apparently being a transvestite with a bright pink leather coat will do that. What helped is that I had a book and focused my attention on that so that the heckling would sound like the teachers in Peanuts cartoons. But all in all, I think I managed that incident pretty well.
Fast forward to 2011, last Thursday where I get ready to go meet J and a friend for supper downtown. I finish my routine of showering, do hair and make up and I get out the door. I go to the bus stop near our house. Well actually, we live between two bus stops of the same line, so one is not necessarily closer to the other. One just feels closer. Now to get there, I walk past this place that J and I suspect is a drug house. This young teenager of arabian nationality was sitting on the stoop. He asked me a question regarding if I was either a man or a woman. I answered him, and I don't know why I do this with people when they ask me this question, to guess. Now that kinda got him excited, and not in a good way, and he called out two of his friends that were in the house. At first I was like: 'Ok whatever, show and tell time.' And I was concentrating on looking for the time of the next bus passage. Then I felt them gathering around me and I went: 'Oh oh!' And basically I was right because one of them, probably the most insecure in his masculinity, said something that sounded like 'rushing magnet'. ( Ok ok. He said fscking faggot. But actually in french. So it was more like 'Stie d'tapette'. ) At that point I decided it was not safe to stand there and walked back to the other bus stop. They yelled something again which I can't remember to which I answered with the honor finger.
I thought I was safe. But I turned around to look and they were following me. I'll tell you this now, I was fracking scared.
Now here's a dilemma that I'm facing. I don't know the law to well and most of what I could write here I've already wrote in a complaint to the cops. In fact the beginning of the story I've already wrote in the complaint as well. So I don't know if I continue writing about it, it will hinder my case in any way. I'll make you a deal. Let's wait a couple of months and I'll tell you about it. ( Chances are that it will never pan out and that the investigation will lead to a dead end. ) Suffice it to say that it wasn't pretty even though it wasn't too serious but it's still the basis of the complaint and it's apparently treated as a minor hate crime. It ended when I decided to stand my ground and told them that I didn't want them to follow me anymore. But I tell you this, even if I did puff my chest at that moment, I was fracking scared.
Thoughts of going into neighboring businesses had crossed my mind, but I didn't want to be a bother to them. ( That is a way of thinking I have to get rid of A.S.A.P. ) But in any case, I thank my lucky stars, cause I must have more then one, that it didn't get to serious. But even so, they've left a little fear in me that I don't want. Cause this happened at around 7h30 in the evening. Mind you, these kids were probably the most insecure bunch of fscktards the world as ever bored. Seriously, they were three against one solitary transvestite. If their goal was to install fear in me, then i would say they've succeeded. If their goal was to install so much fear in me that I won't go out anymore. Then they can kiss my tranny ass.
When this happened, one of them asked me: 'Aren't you ashamed of what you are doing?' and I answered him: 'No I'm not ashamed!'. God was also mentioned in this. The traditional: 'God made you a man so why do you want to become this?'. I didn't go into any spiel because I knew it would fall on deaf ears. They were just a bunch of monkeys trying to put words together to sound intelligent.
If for some odd reason they would read this blog, and I know that's not gonna happen because they seem to speak only french, I would say to them: 'Lighten the fsck up!'. The only reason why you guys did this is because you're insecure in your own masculinity. Some of you probably already fantasized of sucking a cock, or getting it from behind. But what you don't understand is that doesn't make you any less of a man. Accepting who you are the way you are makes you a man. So by definition, I'm more of a man then you guys will ever be. And I've probably had more sex with girls then you guys will ever have in your lifetime if you continue being fscktards. ( Having sex with the same partner multiple times counts as different times in my book. ^-^ )
My hope is that one day, everyone will be accepted, no I'll go with tolerated. Asking to be accepted might be too much for some people. So my hope is that one day, everyone will be tolerated the way they are. Perhaps when that day comes, we'll be able to work on accepting each other.
Until then, this is me signing off.

"Blood and Belonging", by Vicki Delany
This is a Rapid Reads novel with the entire characteristic that makes it a fast, easy and enjoyable read.
RCMP sergeant Ray Robertson is on leave from his job in Haiti and is vacationing with his wife in the Turks and Caicos Islands when one morning jogging on the beach he discovers a body on the surf, the dead man he recognizes as a Haitian police recruit. Once a Cop, always a cop. He needs to finds out what happened……
Of course a novel that is barely over 100 pages sees a case that is easily solved or has a fast wrap up but as in the previous books getting there is what makes the mystery captivating. As Ray follows the leads he finds himself into the world of human trafficking: Haitian looking for a better live exploited by shady people. A very timely subject indeed. Of course the mystery unravels and becomes complicated…….
I like this series and appreciate Vicki Delany's concise with no frills or long sentences style. She has a way to make a captivating plot within the limited pages she has to do it in. The story is simple yet not boring and all along she has stayed true to her character.
When one is limited with time, this book is a great escapism.

The LG G2, which is part of the smartphone elite at the moment, has just gone for free on Verizon Wireless.
All you need to do is sign a two year deal with the carrier, add the phone to your cart (showing you a price of $49.99) and add the promo code VZWDEAL. That code will convert the price to null.
However the deal is said to last until November 11 so you'd better act quick if you want to take advantage. You can find the product page here.For more on what makes the LG G2 so great, check out our full review, or see how it fares against the likes of the Xperia Z1 and Galaxy Note 3.

From the 'We're in the wrong biz!' files
312DD reported on Twitter Friday that Johnny Depp took some friends (including Public Enemies co-star Marion Cotillard) to Gibsons following the premiere of the John Dillinger biopic, but we didn't get this info that Sun-Times columnist Stella Foster uncovered:
"Depp and his entourage partied and relaxed at Gibsons till about 2:30 a.m. I understand that the bill came to $4,400 and that Mohammed A. Sekhani, aka Mo, who is known as 'the waiter to the stars' because they all love to sit in his section, received a tip from Depp to the tune of $4,000."
Foster goes on to say that the tip was split among Depp's tablemates, but whatever the case, this story is awesome and sets the bar pretty high when it comes to celebrity tipping. You know how cheap some of these guys have been rumored to be!

The trailer for Mel Gibson's new war movie is here, and it looks like his big comeback
Mel Gibson's first directing effort in 10 years is coming out in November, and it looks like it's going to be an emotionally charged war movie.
Gibson found the peak of his success in front of and behind the camera with the bloody, Oscar-winning tale "Bravehart." His latest, "Hacksaw Ridge," looks at the unique story of WWII American Army Medic Desmond T. Doss, who served during the Battle of Okinawa but refused to kill people. His heroics would lead to him being awarded the Medal of Honor, the first ever given to a "conscientious objector."
Andrew Garfield plays Doss, and it certainly seems from this trailer that the movie and Garfield's performance will generate talk of potential Oscars.
Watch the trailer below. The movie opens on November 4.
NOW WATCH: Before you see 'Fury Road,' watch the 1979 trailer for 'Mad Max' that started it all
