If you have been following along you know that I went shop hopping a few weeks ago with my two favorite quilting buddies. My mom and sister! We went to eight shops in two days, doesn't sound like that many, but when you add in the distance, road construction etc.... it's quite a feat! I honestly don't know how people complete the entire state during shop hop. I know they do! I see the pictures of the weary, bleary eyed couples that manage to visit each and every shop posted on Facebook. I'm an exhausted mess after doing just one section! Here are some more pictures from our fun travels....
Our next stop was All In Stitches in the town of Zumbrota.
My husband's family's neck of the woods. It's a shame I only make it
to this shop once a year, usually during shop hop. It's a great shop!
It was afternoon by the time we reached Zumbrota! We couldn't believe how the time flew by! We started our Shop Hopping at 9:00. After a quick lunch at McDonald's we continued on our journey and made our way to the next stop....Rather Bee Quilting in Lake City, Minnesota.
|A couple of planters full of geraniums greet us
by the entryway... very pretty.
|Very nice window display...
|Yea! Another row by row pattern too!
|Isn't this an adorable summertime design for the Row by Row!
One of my favorites!
|Love, love, love the purple polka dot swimsuit with the ruffle...
It's the polka dot fabric and embellishments that make this row by row block so cute.
Five shops visited, three more to go! I'm car weary.... We're an hour away from the next shop and not sure if we will make it by five. My sis is on the phone, hurrah! They are open until 5:30pm. we're going to make it there in time before they close! So we are off, driving the curvy roads of bluff country in Minnesota. It's a very pretty drive... on our way to Bluffview Quilt Shop in Winona, Minnesota.
|The is the roadside view of Bluffview Quilt Shop.
|A beautiful, colorful wall of fabric... so pretty!
|This is their Minnesota quilt using this year's fabric.
I like the corner blocks.
We ended our day at the Hubbell House in Mantorville. Had a small August birthday celebration for dessert. Happy Birthday mom and Laura!!!
Happy Quilting,
Happy Quilting,

This comes as a complete surprise to nobody, but it would appear that the "mainstream" media is exhibiting something of a preference for Democratic candidates this election cycle.
The source? No, not some ultra-conservative Richard Mellon Scaife-funded think tank. Nor is it
Halliburton Blackwater!, either.
No, you'll have to blame the leaking of this latest über-secret on the Evil Zionist Conspiracy at Harvard this time.

So here is Ben Weber, my first time seeing him in an Oscar Mayer TV commercial, guess he has been doing them for a while. However, "It's Unanimous Food" is my favorite, by far! Too funny!
I think I know Ben from TV, probably from Law and Order. Here is the latest TV ad:
Ben is also in the new Time Warner: Walking Dead (Better clean up TV ad)
Here is the video for that:

"Some Cupid kills with arrows, some with traps."
--From Much Ado About Nothing (III, i, 106)
The singer/songwriter, the lady Pink
--From Much Ado About Nothing (III, i, 106)
The color pink makes me happy. I wonder, if I were male, if I could love the color so much. Would I be shamed if I did love it? Maybe, if I was a boy, I wouldn't like the color at all. Confined to blues and greens and the like at a young age I wouldn't know the wonders of pink.
It reminds me of Valentine's day, of a warm afternoon, of cute dresses and of all that cutesy stuff some people detest. Yet, I love it. In years past I've been ashamed of my desire to wear, see, and paint in pink. Much like my love of the Backstreet Boys, I pretended, I hid my love under shades of purple and blue. I thought if I could hide my love for a mix between red and white, no one know just how girly I was. I wonder when pink became the color of the girl? Is it because girls are supposed to have cheeks of pink? Or is it because it embodies something more that represents the female? I won't even go into the Aerosmith version of my precious color...sickos.
Anyway, this was a long way of saying that this Lady loves her sex's designated color. Following with the lines of conformity, I love me some pink. On my favorite show ever, Whose Wedding is it Anyway, a bride made everything (and I mean EVERYTHING down to her dog's fur-color) pink. It was glorious to this pink fiend.
In conclusion, I've changed my layout to display a shade of pink. It takes me a while to say what I started out to say. I LOVE PINK. Here is to all things Pink:
The singer/songwriter, the lady Pink
The panther who is a shade of Pink
Flamingos who only come in Pink
Cellphones that have been coated Pink
Drinks that have a tint of Pink
Bedrooms that are painted Pink
Lips that are glossed in Pink
Dresses & jewelery bedecked in Pink
Masters who dye their doggies Pink
NOT to Aerosmith & their dirty version of Pink
And to this Lady, who truly loves her Pink.
After writing this, saying and reading the word pink have somewhat made me sick. What a weird language we speak and write.

Related to DVD Logo Icon
Related icons are the icons with matching tags, as well as all computer hardware icons. All icons are in the same flat style. You can either download free PNG icons or buy SVG vectors
I'm surprised that media format icons seem to be absent (or have I missed them?). The only one I found was LP record. I couldn't find CD, DVD, Bluray, Audio Cassette or VHS.

Today we extend our deepest sympathies to Chris Cornell's family.
Throughout the years, Chris was a compassionate supporter of the Fulfillment Fund's mission. In 2010 his involvement brought the music and education worlds together during an acoustic benefit concert that helped raise funds for our student services. We are thankful for the positive and lasting impact he has had in our community.

Up at bat: our hometown gal Jess Taich! Jess rocked our business card challenge and also excelled at Rosh Hashanah designs. Enjoy getting to know this hip gal (with such pretty hair!) and have a sunny weekend ahead!
When did you first realize you wanted to be a designer?
I always knew that I would end up in a creative career. From the time I was little I was constantly drawing, from the edges of my notebooks to the paper table cloths at restaurants. I was enrolled in every kind of art camp as a child from pottery to claymation. In high school I thought I may become a fine artist, but after creating posters for my student government campaigns I was hooked on design. And once I took my first graphic design class in college, I fell completely in love, and I knew I had picked the perfect career for me.
Do you have any formal design training?
Yes, I attended American University in Washington, DC and was a design major there. While a small program and certainly not the most high profile major at the university (it is more known for International Studies & Public Affairs), it provided really great training and has produced some awesome designers. Some of the greatest experience I got in design was through my extracurricular job of being the sole designer for our campus progressive magazine called American Way of Life (AWOL). I had to learn all about magazine production from creating the template to working with writers to getting the magazine printed and distributed.
How would you describe your style?
I feel like I am constantly changing, but I tend to design things that have vintage and 'handmade' elements. I love hand lettering and creating my own illustrations, but I don't know if I have developed a specific style yet, I am still working on that!
What is your normal workflow or process like?
It depends on the project and how quick my deadline is, but I tend to start with quick sketches and then move on to the computer. I am a very fast worker and I work out most of what I want to do in my mind, and then usually have a very clear vision of what I want the finished design to look like when I start.
What tools, techniques, and mindsets do you find absolutely essential?
A good pen, some loose computer paper or my moleskine, a scanner, and my macbook are my essential tools. But the most important thing is the excitement that I get when I am creating a new design, that adrenaline always powers me through late nights and quick deadlines.
Do you have a favorite font?
It is always changing, but currently the Knockout family is my staple font. I got introduced to the font family when I started freelancing for the online magazine The Bold Italic and have been hooked on that gorgeous san-serif ever since!
Favorite notebook?
Moleskines. I only wish the paper was a bit thicker. I have to admit though that I tend to use loose computer paper the most when sketching out ideas.
Did you send out a family Christmas card? If so, what was it like?
I didn't send out a Holiday card but I did send out a New Years Card to my friends. I bought small colorful cards at Papersource and then hand stamped the design on each one. I was really proud of how they turned out and after reaching out to Grace Bonney of Design*Sponge she tweeted the design to her followers! It was such a thrill to have so many people view the design and receive such positive feedback!
You have such great custom work up on your site… Tell us about your favorite custom project and why you enjoyed working on it.
A recent favorite project is the card design I created for a San Francisco based outdoor products company called Alite. I really enjoyed creating the illustrations and hand written type and am pretty happy with how it came out!
I really love your 'the matisse' design. I love how many Jewish icons you included and how they all have a real flair… How did you go about creating this design?
Thank you! Having gone to a Jewish school for 9 years was a big help for this one! I was really familiar with the holiday and what kind of symbols were associated with it. I had been experimenting with the cut out style that was inspired by Matisse's late collage period (hence the name) but also by the illustrations of Saul Bass (one of my biggest influences). All of the illustrations were done on the computer just using the pen tool in Adobe Illustrator.
21st century gal is a brilliant business card. How did you create such a masterfully simple card?
It's funny I think the inspiration for this design was really that I was just loving the font Feel Script and so I decided to highlight the beautiful script. The simple 'starry' backer was inspired by a fellow Bold Italic designer Jadye Cardinalli's background on one of her stories called "The Spirit of San Francisco".
What was your favorite Minted design challenge and why?
I think my favorite was the Business card challenge, I had a lot of fun coming up with different styles for different types of businesses. This challenge came most naturally to me, wedding & baby shower invitations take a bit more work as I am not at that stage yet! Although creating wedding invitations is something I want to start doing more.
How does living in San Francisco influence your design?
Not only is this city one of the most beautiful places in the world (to me at least) it is filled with people that are following their passions. Everyone here is starting something, whether it is a new tech start up, or a pop up restaurant. You can't help but feel inspired to follow your own passions. For me of course that is design, and while I work full time at Yelp, I am also working on starting my own wedding design business and pursuing my own art.
What are the places in your hometown that you would recommend a visitor check out?
I would definitely recommend coming to my neighborhood! I live in the Mission district right on Valencia street. Outside my door is some of the best coffee I have ever had (Four Barrel), awesome vintage and exchange clothing stores, gorgeous mid century modern furniture boutiques, record stores, used book stores (Dog Eared Books is a favorite), and some of the best eats from the inexpensive but delicious Taqueria Cancun to the more high end Delfina Pizza (which could be a last meal type of place for me). I feel pretty lucky to live in such a vibrant neighborhood, and if you plan on visiting San Francisco you should come check it out!
What are your favorite online design sites and blogs?
I love Design Work Life, Design*Sponge, 8 Hour Day, Mint, and FFFFound
What do you like best about being a part of minted?
Minted is such a great place for me to try out new styles and to receive feedback from a supportive community is really invaluable. Plus the feeling of winning a contest is so fantastic, and even when I don't it keeps me motivated to continue doing better and more creative work!
Thanks so much for a fun interview Jess! We can't wait to see what designs you submit next!! If you didn't get enough Jess here, check out her fun blog Rose Colored Glasses.

Assistant Professor
Department of Physics, Enrico Fermi Institute, and the College
David Schmitz's research focuses on exploring the properties of neutrinos, subatomic particles that permeate the universe in vast numbers and may provide important clues to understanding its evolution. The discovery that neutrino particles morph from one type to another as they propagate, or "oscillate," and hence that they have mass, has been one of the most important and exciting discoveries in particle physics of the last decade. Schmitz's research interests include studying in detail how neutrinos interact with other matter, searching for a new type of "sterile" neutrino particle, and measuring any differences in the behavior of neutrinos and their antimatter counterparts, antineutrinos. Such differences could be part of the explanation for why the universe has come to be dominated by matter and is capable of supporting the surrounding structure.
An important experimental technique in neutrino research involves creating intense beams of neutrinos at such particle accelerator facilities as the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory and aiming them at detectors at both short (hundreds of meters) and long (hundreds of kilometers) distances. Schmitz collaborates on several such experiments to perform his research.
Schmitz earned his PhD in physics from Columbia University in 2008 and his BS in engineering physics from the University of Kansas in 2001.
Schmitz joined the University of Chicago faculty in 2012.

I like this a lot, many thanks, nice and heavy too :)ReplyDelete
Just a pity the BBC logo couldn't have been removed from the video.ReplyDelete
Great heavy psych jams. I was disappointed by the 27 minute length however. When a band puts 'Years' into their title the assumption is that these jams have been culled from NUMEROUS performances, as in 2 superb titles found in this blog - Man Jams and Erna Schmidt.
27:01 is only an appetizer, not the meal recorded by the aforementioned artists.

Today my Mom made such an easy, delicious, low-fat meal. First, my mom marinated chicken in low-sodium teriyaki sauce. This gave the chicken a really good flavor. In a bowl she mixed 1 oz. fat-free cream cheese, 2 tbsp. fat-free sour cream, chives, and red onion. Then she added in the chicken. Once she mixed these together she placed the filling inside a whole grain low-fat wheat tortilla. She cooked it in the oven at 325 for about 12 minutes. It was so quick but it tasted great! We paired the wraps with salads and it was very filling!

Faith: As small as a mustard seed. (Click on any picture to see larger view)
"Jesus told them. "I assure you, even if you had faith as small as a mustard seed you could say to this mountain, `Move from here to there,' and it would move. Nothing would be impossible." ~ Matthew 17:20 (New Living Translation)
"My little dog---a heartbeat at my feet." - Edith WhartonThis is Faith. Her mom is Susan, a physical therapist at the nursing home rehabilitation center where my mom has been staying after her knee replacement. Susan and the other therapists worked my mom and all the other patients there very hard, trying to get them back on their feet and ready to go home. Therapy was twice a day with exercises to build the muscles around the knee and to work up the flexibility in that knee. Of course other muscles in the shoulders, arms and legs had to be worked as well. My mom has done well and we brought her home yesterday after 20 days in rehab. Now she will work with another therapist here and on her own. The biggest problem has been the swelling in the leg, but that takes time to resolve and she has to work through it.
About Faith. She is a Yorkie but likes to keep a shorter cut as she is a working girl. Three times a week she spends her day in the physical therapy room of the nursing home. She has her own little corner with a round comfy sleep bowl and she has a blanket to sleep under. She does more than sleep, however. As part of her job she sits next to patients as they do their exercises on the big platform mat. Sometimes she licks their hand for encouragement or snuggles next to their arm quietly. One day she climbed up on my mom's chest, lay down there,and watched her as if to say "Keep going, you can do it". The patients all love Faith; in fact, some of the residents only seem to react when Faith is in the therapy room. She is a good little therapy dog. She loves everyone, doesn't bark and never gets in the way. If there is a lump under the sheet on the exercise table, it is likely to be Faith. She is paid for her work with small 1.5 inch chew bones and tiny biscuit treats, as well as innumerable hugs.
Faith also loves to dress up for work. The day I took these pictures she was wearing a gold fashionable kimono with red embroidered dragons. She has a navy sailor suit (Norfolk is a navy town after all) and she has a new orange hoodie sweater for Halloween. My mom reports that she likes the sweater but not the hood so much. Faith's favorite character is Tweety Bird, thus her identification tag. Faith's mom has a little Tweety Bird tattoo on her ankle so they can match. She reminds me of a little dog we used to know in Mississippi named Divot. Both are very tiny little dogs with a big presence and huge hearts.
Hats off to Faith for her most excellent work!
Faith and my mom in the therapy room.
Faith and her "mom" Susan. OK, so you can see her mom's tag anyway.

Faith will visit the other animals at Friday's Ark this week will be talking to the other puppies over at Carnival of the Dogs hosted by Mickey's Musings.

Peyton Ritter (played by Richard Ruccolo) was an FBI agent out of New York City who investigated a series of deaths related to photographs taken by Alfred Fellig.
Involvement with Dana Scully and Alfred Fellig
Dana Scully was assigned by Alvin Kersh to work with Ritter, much to the chagrin of Fox Mulder. Scully's unorthodox methods, blamed by Ritter on Mulder's influence, lead to friction between the agents. Scully eventually spoke with Fellig, but Ritter's overreaction and zeal for arresting him led to his shooting Scully. Fellig, who claimed to have cheated death, seemingly "swapped" with Scully, absorbing the brunt of her injuries and dying. Scully was soon fully recovered. (TXF: "Tithonus")

Jerry Sandusky is the former Penn State assistant football coach who was convicted on child rape charges.
Gerry Sandusky is a sportscaster in Baltimore and the voice of the Ravens on WBAL-TV.
These are two entirely different people, but the steam from the public is making Gerry's life on social media a tough one to tackle.
Gerry asked why people did not take the time to read his bio before trash talking him for the things he did not do. As he said, it's amazing how a one letter difference could cause such a debacle. Besides, how can someone tweet from prison?
See more of the tweets Gerry had to deal with.
Warning: some of what appears contains graphic language and may not be suitable for minors or in the workplace.
The letter G is the 7th letter in the alphabet. The letter J is the 10th. Who knew that small gap would lead to such a big deal on Twitter?

Martin Maldonado
Martin Benjamin Maldonado Valdes
- Bats Right, Throws Right
- Height 6' 1", Weight 210 lb.
- High School Dr. Juan J. Nunez High School
- Debut September 3, 2011
Biographical Information[edit]
Catcher Martin Maldonado reached AAA in 2009 and the major leagues in 2011.
Maldonado was picked by the Anaheim Angels in the 27th round of the 2004 amateur draft. He was signed by scout Arnold Cochran and hit .217/.277/.233 that year in his pro debut with the AZL Angels. In 2005, Martin batted .256/.278/.279 for the AZL Angels and was 8 for 32 with two walks and a homer for the Orem Owlz. The next season, Maldonado showed little progress at .222/.309/.288 for the AZL Angels.
Let go by Los Angeles in January 2007, he signed with the Milwaukee Brewers the same month. In 2007, he hit .221/.309/.288 for the West Virginia Power. For the 2008 season, the 21-year-old played for the Brevard County Manatees (.266/.352/.351 in 34 G) and Huntsville Stars (.194/.225/.276 in 31 G). He gunned down an impressive 46% of runners who tried to steal against him.
Maldonado split 2009 between the Wisconsin Timber Rattlers (2 for 19, 2 BB), Nashville Sounds (6 for 18, BB, 2B) and Brevard County (.199/.300/.259). He again threw out 46% of attempted base-stealers. He led Florida State League catchers in fielding percentage (.995), assists (95) and passed balls (17).
In 2010, Maldonado played for Brevard County (4 for 33, BB), Huntsville (.252/.347/.369 in 34 G) and Nashville (.253/.309/.425 in 52 G). He threw out 43% of runners. He was then put on Puerto Rico's preliminary roster for the 2010 Pan American Games Qualifying Tournament. He mad ehis major league debut with the Brewers when rosters expanded in September of 2011, after hitting .287/.373/.436 in 103 games between Huntsville and Nashville. With Milwaukee, he only got into 3 games and had one at-bat. He played 35 games for Nashville at the start of 2012, hitting only .198, then was called up to Milwaukee for good at the end of May. He played 78 games in the National League, hitting .266 with 8 homers and 30 RBIs. In 2013, he fell to .169 in 67 games as the back-up of Jonathan Lucroy.
Playing for the Brewers on April 18, 2014, Maldonado literally hit the cover off the ball in the 6th inning of a game against the Pittsburgh Pirates. He slashed a ground ball towards third baseman Pedro Alvarez, causing the stitches on the baseball to fall apart; Alvarez was forced to field a ball with a large piece of leather flopping off and could only throw a fluttering quail towards first base, which Martin easily beat for an infield single. Lucroy had an outstanding season for the Brewers that year, which cut down Martin's playing time. He played only 52 games and went to bat 111 times, hitting .234 with 4 homers and 16 RBIs.
He had a memorable day against the Arizona Diamondbacks on May 31, 2015, when he went 4 for 6 with 2 runs and 3 RBIs. His day concluded when he hit a walk-off homer off Vidal Nuno in the 17th inning to give the Brewers a 7-6 win. A 5 hours and 49 minutes, it was the longest game by time in the history of Miller Park and Maldonado caught all of it. He had been playing regularly for stretch, as Lucroy had suffered a broken toe on April 20th, leaving the starting job to Maldonado in his absence. It was good that Lucroy was scheduled to return to the team on June 1st, as Martin needed the rest after his epic game.
On December 13, 2016 Maldonado was traded with pitcher Drew Gagnon to the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim for catcher Jett Bandy.
On July 26, 2018, with Maldonado due to become a free agent and the Angels 15½ games out of first place, he was traded to the Houston Astros for Patrick Sandoval and $250,000 in international signing money.
Notable Achievements[edit]
- AL Gold Glove Winner (2017)

Somehow it is already June! How did that happen? It has been quite a hectic five months of the year and I am getting super excited for my families visit in July. Its only 29 days until they arrive so we are on the final countdown!
Also during May we moved house so we haven't been out and about as much as usual but I have found a few things I have loved.
Make your own kind of music by Paloma Faith – I have a massive playlist on my phone which I tend to just stick on shuffle but from time to time I go through the iTunes shop and download a few songs for a change. At the start of the month I downloaded this song and fell in love with it! I think Paloma Faith is fantastic and I really hope she tours Australia so we can go and see her live. The song itself is pretty cool with a good message, I think at least. I have had it on repeat a lot!
I have also joined Spotify now and have been loving all of the different play lists. It is so easy and I always seem to find a play list that is perfect for my mood!
Twelfth Night – at the beginning of the month our friend gave us some tickets to Twelfth Night as she wasn't able to go. I love live theatre, musicals and ballet so was really excited that we had an opportunity to go. I didn't know the story at all, we didn't study it in school like they seem to have done in Australia but I thought it was fantastic. A modern spin with gorgeous songs and I felt the story was really well told. Thank you Naomi for the tickets again!
We saw a couple of movies during May including Avengers Infinity War and Breath. I enjoyed both movies which were entirely different. Breath was beautifully made and is based in West Australia which is where the Aussie grew up and in fact he knew the author. It was visually stunning as well with the sea and surf views. It made me want to go to WA and also maybe try surfing!
Books and TV
I finished reading The Handmaids Tale this month. It was one of those books where it seems far fetched but you can also kind of see that with the world as it is that it is not quite as far fetched to make it impossible. I have also started watching the tv adaptation now because I hate watching movies or tv shows before reading the books. So far they have done a good adaptation but it is of course not as true to the book as I would prefer.
Not only did we move this month but we participated in the Million Paws Walk with Naomi. The walk combined my love for exercise with some fundraising for a good cause and of course dogs!! I even won a life size dulux dog in the prize draw and am waiting to be told when and how I can collect it!

This blue and white fabric adorned deer head is what I did...
I had started out with a plywood deer head. I found this baby on eBay.
I had originally been admiring it on Matt Blatt but after being on the "notify when back in stock" waiting list for what seem like an age, I looked elsewhere.
I then purchased some gorgeous fabric from Peppermint Stitches in Toowong - possibly the most colourful eye-candy covered fabric store you'll ever come across. Do yourself a favour crafty Brisbanites!
Can't wait to show him off to you once he's hanging on our wall - but truth be told I couldn't wait!
Have a lovely week ahead everyone! Jx
Psst - eight weeks to go!

The name BlackBerry® is synonymous with mobile email, and thanks to the expertise of RIM® family members – Tungle for Calendar and Gist for Contacts – we've extended our messaging DNA in some really compelling ways with the introduction of BlackBerry® PlayBook™ tablet OS 2.0. Because the new Email, Calendar, and Contacts applications all include people-centric information, we've integrated social functionality into all three . For example, you don't have to leave the calendar to get information about the attendees for that meeting. Let's dive in and take a look at these new features.
Calendar with social integration
Like the new Messages app that includes a universal Inbox, so you can conveniently manage all your email in one place, the new Calendar app in PlayBook OS 2.0 allows you to manage all your appointments and events in one place – including the ability to manage both work and personal (Gmail®, Hotmail®, Yahoo!®) appointments and Facebook® events (never miss a birthday again!). Of course, the Calendar app offers the common features that you've come to know and love, but it now also includes some compelling new features to help you organize your day:
- People View: In addition to the traditional Day, Agenda, Week, Month views, you can now view your day based on the people you're meeting with. This view provides additional information on your contacts pulled from LinkedIn®, including where you've met in the past.
- Visual Cues: You'll be able to more quickly scan and manage your calendar at a glance. For example, the Calendar app provides visual cues that identify days that have more appointments than those that are relatively light. For example, when you view your calendar at a glance, dates with many appointments will show up in a larger font while the dates in smaller fonts have fewer appointments. If you have a lot of appointment conflicts, a red highlight identifies the conflict so you can't miss them!
- Zoom in to a detailed view: From the "Week" view, you can go directly to a day's calendar with ease. Simply tap any day to zoom into the details of that day, including the meetings you have scheduled and the people you will be meeting with.
Contacts: Your social hub
Your contacts are more than just an address and phone number, so why treat it like a rolodex? The new Contacts app acts as a social hub that helps you maintain a complete and current view of your contact's social status.
- Contact Linking: The majority of people use more than email and phone to stay in touch with their personal and professional contacts — Facebook, Twitter®, and LinkedIn are growing exponentially in their popularity and usability. The Contacts app allows you to automatically bring all these distinct social profiles into a single people-centric view in your address book – meaning you can set up one contact name and integrate all of their contact and social profile information into one profile. You also have the option to reduce duplicate entries, and manually link or de-couple your contacts from social profiles. Watch this demo to learn more.
- Status Updates and People Views: Using information gathered from Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn, the Contacts app lets you see your contact's recent social status updates and common friends.
- Meetings, Places, and News: Be prepared before walking into that meeting. For each of your contacts, you can view past (and future) meetings with that person, see the places you've met previously, and read news about their company.
- Favorites and Video Chat: Mark your top contacts as a "favorite" for quicker access, and sort your address book by those contacts who also use BlackBerry PlayBook Video Chat.
We built the BlackBerry PlayBook tablet OS 2.0 email, calendar and contacts experience with the goal of providing the best tools for managing your busy life across all of your networks. I'm so proud of the team for pulling it off, and we're just getting started! We have a ton of ideas, and look forward to getting your feedback.

Carlyle Group CFO Leaves Company as It Plans IPO
"Pete decided to pursue a great new opportunity for him, which we understand will be announced soon," Carlyle spokesman Christopher Ullman said, according to Bloomberg News. "We thank him for his service to Carlyle and wish him continued success."
Glenn Youngkin will take on the position of interim CFO.
Carlyle is planning an initial share sale to build permanent capital after seeing appetite for private equity drop among its traditional investors. The company aims to file IPO papers in late 2011.
Nachtwey joined Carlyle in 2007.

Envision the endless images of women reclining with chilled cucumbers resting upon their eyelids. These chilled veggies' ability to depuff undereye bags has reached mythical proportions. The reality; swelling diminishes slightly due to cold-induced vasoconstriction of swollen blood vessels and reduces fluid buildup. No chemical magic related to the cucumber itself.
However, white tea is rich in EGCG, a powerful botanical renowned for its calming action. Incorporated into an eye balm such as DERMAdoctor Wrinkle Revenge rescue & protect eye balm, white tea quickly helps soothe and depuff delicate undereye tissue. If it is cold you want, keep your jar in the fridge. The chilled cream will work in a manner similar to those cucumber slices without having to take even a moment to "chill" out.

Going to use it for a Class Reunion next month.
Class Reunion next month
Replaces the ice chest at parties.
Used at outdoor Birthday Party.. took 50 lbs. of ice.. so drinks and food stayed cold all afternoon. Kind of heavy so we put it on the back of pickup truck bed and worked great.. No opening ice chests. Made everything accessible for all ages. When finished dumped water in garden and hung it on clothesline to dry.
Works great.
Used it at a bbq.Held the ice and pop and food.
Worked great at our family reunion.
It keep the salads and things needing to be cold ,very cold.
Great for indoor or outdoor entertaining
I love this product
I used at a family reunion loved it kept salads cold so they didn't spoil. Everyone commented what a great idea
It worked fine for what I needed it for.
Even though the product worked to my satisfaction, the add in your catalog was very misleading.
Portable Salad Bar
I used this for cookouts. It kept the cold things cold even in the hot sun (for several hours). My cons are that it was very difficult to inflate ended up using air pump even though it was not recommended. Also, it would have been better if it had been a little wider.
Worked great for what intended.
Worked just right for the graduation party and birthday party.
I would buy again, kept salads & condiments cold for picnic
This product was used outside at the park in May's 80 degree weather. Made it nice to be able to keep the salads and condiments cold. The ice lasted for over four hours. Easy to blow up, was ready to use in a flash.
Wonderful accessory!
I used this for my father-in-law's 80th birthday, and it kept all of our salads cold all day long! I am sure I will use it again and again!
Love all my purchases. Thank you - jk
All is okay.
Love this!
I use this for special events such as a bridal shower to keep lunch chilled until ready to serve.
Great Item. I highly recommend it!!
We just love this Portable Salad Bar. We used it at a park and had 26 people to celebrate Father's Day. We blew it up with a foot pump in a minute. It held all the salad bowls and condiments. We added a bag and a half of ice and everything was kept cold for 4 hours. Everyone raved about it and I gave away my Harriet Carter catalog to a friend to order other items. I highly recommend it!!
Have had ours for several years !
Everyone loves it. Wipe clean when finished and dry it real well so it doesn't mildew. We deflate and fold. Easy to store. We have had at least 3 yrs. Great product!
Love it. I have two.
Outside for large gatherings. Do not have to worry about keeping foods cold that need to be and no need to worry about food going bad.
Love this!
This is the Best!! Living in Florida I always worry about the heat spoiling my salads. I have used this over and over. It will keep things for hours! I have purchased one for several friends and we all love it!! Easy to use!
Loved it!
All my guests thought this was an excellent product. Don't overthink the inflating my mother and daughter each blew up one and the 76 yr. old "won". Could be circular shaped since most salad bowls needing cooling are round - you'd fit more items in it. Otherwise - no complaints.
Like it, but can live without it
Rec'd this just in time for my BBQ- Very difficult to inflate- packaging recommends NOT to use a pump. Took forever...if anyone has hints on how to inflate???
Buy this product...it works.
I would buy this product again. In fact I just did. I bought 2 more for picnics / parties. Just blow it up, add ice and put your food in. Really helps keep items cold.
Everybody Wants This!
I've used this for small family functions and large office potlucks and it's just the perfect thing. No more worrying about salads getting too warm. I can fit several large bowls in it. It's also great for keeping drinks cold and easy to access. I need a new one because someone grabbed mine from a work party. I don't blame them!
Absolutely loved it!
I used it at a beach birthday party and at our family reunion. Kept everything cold for several hours in the heat. Do wish they made one half the size for times when only a few things need to be kept cold.
Perfect !!
blow it up,dump in the ice and you are ready to go!
blow-up foodkeeper
super speedy delivery/works just like it is supposed to and keeps things cold!
everybody loves this
We used them for outdoor parties,it's just the right size for several things, Salads, condiments that should stay cold, sodas. It great. going to buy a couple more.
soda, keeping food from spoiling
Super product. Multiple uses.
Great Product
Kept the foods cold even after 5 hours. We have two of them and everyone wanted to know where we got them. Many of our friends thought we had our party catered and they belonged to a catering company. They were the HIT of the party.
I would buy this product again
I used this outside it kept everything cold for hours
A Must Have for Summer Outings
I used this salad bar for an outdoor party in warm weather. I placed foods in it that should stay cold and they stayed cold for several hours. Even after the ice melted the water temp was able to keep the items chilled. I didn't have to worry about anything spoiling. I also got compliments on what an awesome idea this was. And cleanup was as easy as wiping it out!
does what it says!
Worked great for our family reunion. It's a keeper!
Portable Salad Bar/Ice keeper
Saw this at a party and it looked nice, worked better than great.
The Portable Salad Bar
I have had my Portable Salad Bar for two years and I use it when ever we have back yard meals...easy to blow up, and fill with ice. It keeps salads like Potato salads and Mayo items cold for the entire meal...Even put my condiments on ice... I love this product...will be buying them as gifts for my friends...They all want one when they see how great it works,,,easy to deflate and pack away in a drawer, until the next party...

It's been a while since I wrote in my blog ... mainly because things have been a little difficult.
One of the things I hadn't mentioned up to this point in my blog was that JD, the 13 year old that was living with me, is actually a foster child. He'd been in my care for going on five years. Since I made the decision to move to Hervey Bay, JD decided that he would stay in Gladstone to be near his friends and has now moved into another home with other foster carers.
Unfortunately, because I no longer get the foster child financial support for him, I can no longer get the loan that I was hoping for from the bank, so the house that I'd been hoping to buy in Hervey Bay is now out of my price-range. I have had to reduce my loan application by $60,000 which means that my home choices are now limited to around $265,000.
Another difficulty has been that I have had no offer on my present home, despite the market being so good here in Gladstone at the moment. The whole experience has been rather discouraging and disappointing but I will be content with a cheaper home once my current house sells.
I'm sure that God has it all under his control - I just have to trust Him and be patient, waiting for His right time and not my own.

A Beautiful TreasureReviewing: Na | Rating:
Allow me to show off one of our favourite wedding gifts: a custom glass picture frame from one of our dear friends.
This frame is made of solid glass. It has faint silver flowers engraved along the outside edges, and brillaint gold engraving across the top and bottom. The top was engraved with our names and wedding date. The bottom displays a little verse; "Two lives, two hearts, joined together in friendship. United together in love."
It holds one 4"/6" photo of our wedding, and elegantly graces a shelf in our living room as a beautiful reminder of the happiest day of our lives. It's truly a treasure, and, I hope, a future heirloom for our children to enjoy as well.

How do you feel about self-publishing? I think it's the best thing that's happened to the publishing industry in a long time. Not only is it the perfect publishing vehicle for people like me who are independent and love the entrepreneurial challenge, I believe it keeps the traditional publishing industry on its toes. Everyone has had to rethink what they're doing in the last few years, which will only be good for readers in the long run. And authors as well. I believe the whole publishing industry is becoming more author-centric.
What does love mean to you? Love means being there to support someone, to respect them and help them reach their goals. Can you imagine what a beautiful world this would be if we were all more concerned with looking out for the other guy as well as fulfilling our own needs? That's what love is all about.
What social issues interest you the most? Anything that has to do with child welfare and education. I hate to think of children being bullied or worse. I also believe that a good education is the most important gift you can give to a child. That and books, which are sort of the same thing.
When you get free time on the internet or you go to the library – what do you want to read about? Lately I've been really interested in psychology. I'm fascinated by how the brain works and the advances that are being made in neuroscience. It's especially cool to read about the differences between men and women, and between introverts and extroverts. And, of course, I love reading romance novels.
Do you find the time to read? If you're a writer, you have to find the time to read. It's homework. Like Stephen King says, if you can't find the time to read, then you don't have the time or the tools to write. I try to read a little bit each night after getting in bed.
Last book you purchased? Tell us about it. The last book I bought was Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking, by Susan Cain. It's a fascinating look at how we live in a society that values extroverts and tells introverts there's something wrong with them, but the truth is that introversion is just another way of thinking. I'm learning a lot about myself and how I interact with the world.
Who do you admire? I really admire Malala Yousafzai, the Pakistani girl who was shot for her outspokenness over girls receiving an education. She was incredibly brave to stand up for what was right in a dangerous environment in the first place, and her perseverance and dedication to continuing her message is amazing.
What is your favorite quality about yourself? My creativity and the subsequent ability to never be bored.
What is your least favorite quality about yourself? Probably my insecurity and the way I constantly compare myself to others, especially other writers. Bleh!
What is your favorite quote, by whom, and why? I have so many! I think right now it's that classic Ernest Hemmingway quote, "The first draft of anything is s$@t." Mostly because it's so, so true and I'm experiencing it right now.
What are you most proud of accomplishing so far in your life? I'm proud of the fact that in spite of how difficult it is and how many roadblocks stand in my way, I've managed to achieve my lifelong dream of being a published writer. Now I'm moving on to working to accomplish my new dream of supporting myself with my writing.
What is your favorite color? There are some really awesome shades of green out there!
What is your favorite food? Salmon that is cooked and seasoned just right.
What's your favorite place in the entire world? I would have to say in my bed, under layers of covers, when it's cold outside. Company is nice, but even when I'm alone it's bliss!
How has your upbringing influenced your writing? I was never told no when it came to anything creative. We are all pretty creative in our family and have supported each other, no matter what we wanted to try. I had a pretty rough childhood though, but those strong, mostly negative emotions have helped me to writer deeper characters.

Setting up out-of-hours GP services next to accident and emergency departments could help stem the flow of patients seeking urgent care in hospitals.
A joint report by The Patients Association and the Royal College of Emergency Medicine says the A&E brand in the UK is so strong that, in many cases, it renders re-direction of patients to other out-of-hours or urgent care services ineffective.
According to the report, Time to Act – Urgent Care and A&E: the Patient Perspective, co-locating GP out-of-hours services with A&E departments "allows patients to choose the A&E brand, decongests the emergency department and makes the best use of currently scarce out-of-hours GP resources".
The findings, which are based on a patient survey, also show that while patients are aware of alternatives to A&E, many still head there because they are unable to access help elsewhere or have been sent by another healthcare professional.
Fully informed
This shows that the NHS must ensure patients are fully informed of all urgent care and out-of-hours services and that these services have sufficient capacity and are available when required. "Unless this issue is addressed, we will continue to see more pressure on an already overstretched A&E system," which saw 14.6 million patients last year in England alone, the report authors warn.
Results from the latest GP Patient Survey also show that 45% of people don't know how to access GP services out of hours. "Instead of moving towards having these services located within A&E departments, more needs to be done to raise awareness of them, so that patients know where to turn when they fall ill in the evenings or at weekends", said Maureen Baker, Chair of the Royal College of GPs.
"The College strongly supports integrated services and the need for new models of patient care, but decisions about which models are implemented and how need to be made in the best interests of the local population," she added.

My Twitter feed this morning was filled with tweets about two events: the release of Pope Francis' encyclical on the environment and the racially-motivated shooting of nine people in Charleston, South Carolina. I tweeted and retweeted about the former. I didn't tweet anything about the latter.
This is not because I have nothing to say about the racial violence plaguing this country, violence that, far from abating, seems to be ramping up. This is not because I feel like racial violence has nothing to do with me. Although I'm a Canadian living in the United States, I'm fully aware of my complicity as a white person in an economic and social system that continues to disadvantage ethnic minorities. This is not because I'm unaffected by racial violence emotionally and intellectually.
In a class I taught this past semester, we read Thomas Merton's "Letters to a White Liberal," a trenchant essay that criticized whites for thinking and saying the right things (and even promoting the right legislation) while at the same time being completely unwilling concretely to change their ways of living in order to work for and attain racial equality. Merton wrote that whites are willing to go only so far for racial equality. They'll join the rallies, they'll push for equal rights legislation, they'll say all the right things. But when they realize, as they must, that racial equality will mean actual equality, when they discover that racial equality means that whites are actually going to have to make real economic and social sacrifices to attain real structural equality, whites pull up on the reins.
Many people in my Twitter feed who are commenting on the Charleston shooting aren't doing so just to assuage their consciences. Many are actively working for racial justice.
However, if I'm being totally honest with myself and with you, I'm not actively working for racial justice and equality. I remember how shocked Kim and I were to discover the pervasive racism and segregation that is still so much a part of this city and country when we moved to Louisville from Ontario in 2008. And yet, without us trying or meaning to do so, we became part of the structure. Our neighbourhood is predominantly white. Our churches (I'm Catholic and Kim is Episcopalian) are overwhelmingly white.
Sure, I attend lectures and read books on the problem of racism and we read important texts in my classes on racism and racial conflict. But I know - I know - that none of this is good enough. I know - I know - that to be serious about racial justice requires real changes in how we live our lives.
So I worry that, were I to comment on social media and elsewhere about my grief and anger about the Charleston shooting, I'd simply be assuaging my conscience. That I'd - even subconsciously - think that I've 'done my part' when in reality I've done nothing.
I'm not excusing myself here. I'm repenting.

The "Hamby-Fortenberry Wedding" was the marriage ceremony between Jessica Hamby and Hoyt Fortenberry in the seventh, and final, season of the HBO original series True Blood.
The event unfolded at the Compton house with a guest list that included: Bill Compton, Sookie Stackhouse, Jason Stackhouse, Andy Bellefleur, Arlene Fowler Bellefleur and Holly Cleary. Sookie served as Jessica's maid of honor and Jason served as Hoyt's best man. Bill walked Jessica down the aisle and Andy officiated the service.
Although rushed, both Hoyt and Jessica agreed to wed before Bill succumbed to Hep-V, as Jessica wanted him to be able to walk her down the aisle and give her away. The ceremony was a hastily prepared but heartfelt event, in which Sookie provided Jessica's dress and Jason selected pink roses from outside as boutonnieres. Arlene helped with the music. Despite the ceremony technically not being legal, Andy married Jessica and Hoyt as the town's sheriff. He said that although the state of Louisiana did not recognize the union, he had no doubt that God did.
Notable eventsEdit
- This event took place during the series finale, "Thank You".
- The occasion embodied the culmination of the development of all characters involved as well as the achievement of peaceful and accepting interracial relations that evolved throughout the series.
- Bill spoke with Andy in private before the ceremony and explained that his home would rightfully belong to him after his death. He wished that Andy would rent out the home to Jessica and Hoyt for the fee of $1.00 a month (and to ignore the fee if they forgot to pay) essentially giving them the house, since Bill could not do so legally.
- Sookie was able to hear Bill's thoughts. This was the first time in all 7 seasons of True Blood that Sookie could hear a vampire's thoughts. This may indicate that the progression of the virus combined with her fae blood was somehow making Bill more human.
- Wedding pictures were released via Jessica Hamby's blog: Babyvamp-Jessica. In this blog, Jessica identified herself as Jessica Hamby-Fortenberry.

Caught On Video: Pfleger's Heresy
In this stunning video from a Divine Mercy Sunday homily, Fr. Pfleger openly calls for female ordination and female bishops.
Pfleger says...
"That's why there should be woman priests, that's why there should be married priests, that's why there should be woman Bishops and women Cardinals"There is a good poke in the eye for Cardinal George. The Cardinal was already facing criticism for honoring Fr. Pfleger and Pfleger returned the favor by open dissent.
Cardinal George cannot let this stand, especially after just conferring an award. Pfleger must be disciplined and forced to retract his statements or immeasurable harm will be done to the faith. If Pfleger teaching this heresy goes unchallenged by the Cardinal, people will rightly conclude that the Cardinal supports these views, after all he did just give him an award.
Pfire Pfleger, now.

Being successful in any business climate requires a high level of product knowledge and marketing skill in order to profitably bring the next generation of trade show products such as silicone edge graphics, to the trade show exhibiting marketplace.
Classic Exhibits has developed a number of new outstanding products in the past few years that take advantage of lighter weight materials such as extruded aluminum and dye sublimation fabric, to bring new high demand products to the trade show exhibit industry. What did Classic see that gave them the initiative to forge ahead during bad economic times to create new marketable products? Classic saw that they had several shapes of aluminum extrusions that that they already purchased that gave them an extraordinary large amount of linear footage per dollar when compared to other shapes. As time went on, they were able to bring to market from their original plans, a whole handful of creative new exhibit products with a range of price points to appeal to an entire spectrum of custom modular hybrid display customers. Leading the list of new custom modular hybrid displays is the Perfect 10 followed by the Magellan Miracle and Sacagawea tension fabric displays. At this moment, Classic is being very aggressive in the market in comparison with other producers of trade show exhibits, which has put them in a leadership position where they will be well prepared to be a market leader as they move into the future.
