Long Time UserI found a tub of this on sale years ago and bought it on a whim. I have been using the same tub since. Once you get the hang of it, you won't want to use any other wax. I have figured out a system that seems to work for me. First, the wax can be messy so I put it on a paper plate in the microwave. I also do all my waxing outside in the backyard just in case there are spills, though, I did get some on a tile floor once and it came right off once hardened. (Don't get it on your clothes!) Then, I make long strips of the wax from my ankles up to my knees around my legs, bottom to top, wait a few seconds until the wax no longer sticks to my fingers and rip it off, bottom to top. And so on (Fast hurts way less). It usually takes off every hair, depending on the tempurature. I've also noticed it doesn't work as well if I'm in the sun or in a warm environment. You want it to be the consistancy of air heads taffy when you pull it off. Inevitably, little bits will be stuck to your skin when you're done. You can avoid this by not smearing the edges of the wax really thin, but rather leave the ends of the strips nice and bulky. But my solution for the remaining crumbs is lotion, which you should use anyway. Once the wax is lubricated you can pick the crumbs off with your fingernails without it sticking to anything. Also, baby powder is a handy tool for making any crumbs not sticky until they fall off on their own. If (and you will) get the wax on your fingers, simply run your hands under cold water and break it off. So by now my little tub is getting pretty gross, and I need new wax. I tried to find something around town that would be similar and I wouldn't have to order, but so far I don't know of any wax that you can reuse, that you don't need muslim for, and that is so cost effective. Think green! Recycle your wax!Apr 27, 2010Stacey

This Really Works If You Know How To Wax!!I have been using this product for years and I love it. No messy strips to use, just apply and pull. If you over heat this wax it does become runny and messy. You would just need to have it cool off before you apply it. Best tip I have is apply the oil it comes with to the area before you apply the wax, but not too much as the wax will not adhere. Then apply a thin layer of wax over area you are waxing and a little thicker on the end you are going to pull to make it easier to start the pull. Next pull as close to your skin as possible, one pull and all the hair is gone. It doesn't get any better than this!! I've used this product all over my body, even my face and I always get a smooth result that lasts weeks.Mar 21, 2010Angie

Muslin Strips Make A Difference.I've used this product for legs and facial hair. I'm not able to bring myself to do my bikini line without someone else to pull the strips. Maybe I'm lacking in skill but I have poor results using this product without muslin strips. If it's cool enough to apply it hardens fairly quickly and will break when I pull it. On the other hand, if I apply a strip, it works beautifully and you don't have to be as exact with the cooling time. There is also less or no wax bits at the edges left behind. I use it primarily for eyebrows and upper lip. I've experimented on leg hair and it pulled it without a problem but there isn't much product in the jar and I would wonder if you could even complete both lower legs done with one jar. Still, even if you had to buy two jars it's a lot cheaper than professional but I think there are better products out there for that. I've been happier with this product than many others I've tried as long as I use it with strips. A yard of muslin costs about a dollar at a fabric store and will last you for many jars so why not just use it? If it gets onto clothing though, it will likely stay forever, so do it before you get dressed of wear an old robe. If it gets on a hard surface just wit for it to cool completely or even chill it with cold water or ice and it will chip off in one piece.Mar 20, 2010Lisa

Wasted Money, Ruined My Stuffthis product is very hard to use & a waste of money. you dont get very much product for the claims it makes. worse yet, it ruined my clothes when it came in contact, was a complete mess everywhere it landed (very drippy & a nuisance), & was very hard to get off of my skin. my shower drain actually backed up because the wax that i couldnt physically manually pull off got caught in the drain. also, if you wait too long after applying to your skin, the wax hardens & brakes as you try to pull it off, turning a painful one quick rip into several painful pulls & tears. now, i dont know about any of you, but when it comes to waxing, i dont want to pull at my skin anymore times than i have to. the product only took off about 50% of the hair underneath it...you make the choice...Feb 1, 2010Dawn / Rochester, NY USA

ExcellentFor those who said it is messy you just need some practice. more than likely you over heated it. I (with the top off ) heated it up for 45 seconds then another 45 seconds stir it up then 20 seconds (remove when it get to 10 seconds). IMPORTANT FOR BIKINI AREA YOU MUST CUT HAIR LOW OR IT WILL REALLY REALLY REALLY HURT AND WHEN YOU APPLY OT LET IT HARDEN PULL FROM ANY DIRECTIONS IT ALL COMES OFFOct 28, 2009Umm Raniyah

Best Wax On The MarketI have tried many waxes and surgi-wax is the one that sticks to hair only and rips it off with no muslin strips. Requires many heats but only one wax! So worth it.Oct 24, 2009Jessica

Not Worth AnythingThis wax is not good, its too soft...it doesn't hold on to the hairs. You pull the wax off and it just pulls the hairs but doesn't pull them off. You have to wax one area a number of times to get the job done. Its NOT worth it.Sep 28, 2009Ana

Forty Weeks of Fitness | With Chelsea
There are many reasons why swimming comes so highly recommended for pregnant women. The water's buoyancy protects your body from gravity's pull, decreasing the impact on joints, and it also creates resistance in every direction which makes you use your core muscles, and it gently massages your muscles while you exercise. What's not to love about water?
To keep your water workouts exciting try mixing it up using a kick board or a noodle, a variety of strokes, a swim lesson or an aqua aerobics class. Even though you may not feel thirsty while submerged, it is important to stay hydrated. Be sure to drink water before, during and after your workout.

My ranking and breakdown of the performances:
#1 - Elvis Stojko
The strongest technical performance of the night. He is the only man who does the Triple Axel-Triple Toe and the only man to skate a clean program with all of the different Triple jumps. It's a good program too, although his skating skills and performance ability leave something to be desired. He doesn't have deep or fluid edges and he doesn't move across the ice with enough speed, unless he has already been pumping with back crossovers to gain speed. He doesn't skate with overwhelming emotion or nuance.
Grade: 5.8 Technical, 5.7 Presentation
#2 - Kurt Browning
This is a glorious, masterful program and his skating skills are divine. He skates with heart and clearly understands the music. A few bobbles do detract a bit from the overall effect, so it's not perfect, but for me he still displays the best artistic effort out of anyone in the competition. On the tech side I have to be very critical. First of all, he doesn't have a Triple Lutz in the program. He partially makes up for this with a difficult 3Sal-3Loop combination but, really, without a 3Lutz or a Quad, the most I could possibly give him for technical merit is a 5.8. With that as the base mark, I then have to look at the mistakes he made - a major error on the second crucial Triple Axel (he turns it into an underrotated, double-footed Double Axel), a botched spin, and a couple other small imperfections at the end of the program (just a little shaky on the landing of the toeloop and the first part of the combination spin). Given these problems, my final marking is:
Grade: 5.5 Technical, 5.9 Presentation
#3 - Philippe Candeloro
Interesting, unique choreography and a real sense of showmanship. Not quite as emotional as Browning's program and the skating skills aren't perfect either, but still very good artistry on display. Technically he has some great highlights. His opening Triple Axel is one of the biggest ever, just massive. The Lutz, Loop, and Salchow are all superb as well. He completely fails on his second attempt at the Triple Axel (very difficult trying it so late in the program, though) and the Flip is flawed, but definitely good enough overall technically.
Grade: 5.6 Technical, 5.8 Presentation
#4 - Alexei Urmanov
On a base level, this good program and Urmanov has a boyish charm that reflects the music. There are so many distracting moments, though. A little bit of it is the choreography - a couple of the moves are cheesy or even stupid (that fake movement of him picking up a telephone...ugh, so trite). The main distracting moments, though? His spins! Dear lord, they are a mess. He does a flying spin that never gets into position and drastically travels across the ice and follows it up with an upright catch-foot spin that also travels bit and has a completely ugly position. Later in the program he tries another flying sit that never really gets into position (although this one at least stays centered) and then follows it with a combination spin that has that same ugly catch-foot position from before and ends with a back scratch that has barely any speed. These distractions, aside from taking some energy out of the program, also deserve a .1 deduction in the technical score. Spins weren't a big deal back then but Urmanov's were a blatant shortcoming in this performance. The other mistakes on the tech side are the obvious messy landing on the Triple Flip and also a small problem with the landing of the Triple Loop (he lands on the inside edge).
Grade: 5.6 Technical, 5.7 Presentation
#5 - Viktor Petrenko
Is this a better performance than the ridiculous one he won a Gold Medal with in 1992? Yes, it is. Or at least, he executed the elements better here. I actually think the program itself in 1992 was stronger. Petrenko has always tended to be less interesting in his Long Programs and this is no exception. I find it to be a very dull program with a lot of crossovers and little excitement. Petrenko has great posture and body line and pretty good skating skills, but I don't feel he is truly connected to the music and the program simply never comes together to create a specific mood or any kind of special moment. Technically he does a good job, his only actual mistake is doubling out on a Triple Loop, although he doesn't have a 3-3 combination either.
Grade: 5.7 Technical, 5.6 Presentation

What fun to contemplate this Olympics again. I love your analysis, and I'll use it to help me as I re-watch these programs. Interesting about Urmanov's spins. I don't recall that at all. I'm glad you ranked Stojko so high, despite shortcomings in his actual skating skills. And how nice to contemplate Candeloro again. The guy simply radiated charisma, and what a jumper. My favorite of the night was Browning. I was so sad that he didn't win, or even medal, but his pro career more than made up for this disappointment.
I would need to think on this one a bit. I honestly do think Stojko deserved to win but now given his horrible attitude to the sport and huge chip on the shoulder he has no business having, I am glad the sport never made him an Olympic Champion, regardless that he probably deserved it that night. I dont think a skater with spins as weak as Urmanov's should be an ultimate Champion unless they skate lights out which he didnt quite that night. There were too many posing spots, and his footwork wasnt exactly stellar either. Candelero has huge jumps but overall technically is lacking in many respects- positions and precision of jumps, spins. His program was by far the most original, best choreographed, and entertaining though I thought.
Petrenko I actually think had the best overall LP probably, him or Browning. The only reason neither won the LP is they werent in the final flight and werent really in contention at that point. If either were amongst the leaders after the SP I am pretty sure they would have finished 1-2 with the same performances.
Thanks for this thread, Blades. I can't comment too much on the technical side. Still, I'd agree with your rankings except that I'd put Urmanov on the bottom. I simply can't believe he won the OGM with that skate. The choreography was definitely the worst of the five (those frog-knee moments - yuck!) and his spins were clearly subpar. I hope he had a hell of a technical program, otherwise his win is enough to convince me of fixed judging.
Stoyko and Candeloro were marvelous, IMO, with Petrenko just a tiny bit behind them. That Browning program is one of my all-time favorites. Watching those four, I thought the judges must have had a tough time doling out the medals... only to find they handed it to Urmanov!
I think the reason Urmanov was because:
Stojko- the judges just werent that big on him at that point. His style was a little too avante garde and new age for them. So they always looked for an alternative.
Candelero- he wasnt that established yet. He hadnt even won a World medal yet. Urmanov only had a World bronze but had been on the scene and hyped as a future Champion since 92. His style was also more unconventional and not neccessary the tried and true look the judges wanted in a mens champion (ridiculous I think but I think that is how they felt). Plus his one mistake was blowing the planned 2nd triple axel which was a must for a mens champion by that point.
Browning- well he wasnt in contention for a medal by that point and the judges marked him as such.
Petrenko- he wasnt really in medal contention at that point either, maybe a tiny shot of a medal being 9th in the short if he won the long, but he wasnt in any contention for a gold medal by that point. Like Browning wasnt skating in the final flight so marks werent going to be huge.
Yeah, Urmanov was seen as the most artistic and complete skater out of those in contention for the Gold medal after the Short Program. Part of the reason for that was because of him being a very, very HANDSOME individual. Nobody would ever turn him down in bed, even if he is not specifically their exact type. Sex appeal is a significant factor in how competitors are evaluated, as there is no denying that physical appearance influences how well a role can be played. Everyone who is out on the ice performing is playing some kind of "role", even though skating is more abstract and the performer is not specifically playing a "character" as an actor would.
In figure skating, exuding a sense of upper-class is the role that judges most often find desirable (certainly during that time, at least). Urmanov represented the sense of wealthy bourgeois better than the other skaters in contention. Stojko projects a working-class image and Candeloro was likely seen as a little weird. Urmanov didn't make any singularly huge mistake technically, and nobody else skated absolutely perfect, so therefore as 'The Chosen One' he did enough to secure 1st place. The French judge placed him 5th in the Long Program, though.

Thanx for vids, its first time I see them allogether, the best program was Browning's by far, I ve never seen the sp, I guess he did bad there?
Urmanov was Prince Charming
Our new smilies might be a propos here:
(See the skate.)
1) Stojko -
His choreography is interesting and attention grabbing from the start. He skates strongly and with speed. Although he singled the 3A, he rebounded with two more, one in combination with a 3T. His footwork is surely better than everyone but Kurt's, and it seems faster than Kurt's, even though it may not be as complex. He's the only one who hasn't had at least one horrid spin. Urmanov had a couple of good spins, but another was horrible, and the spins of the rest make me cringe.
2) Browning
This was personally my favourite program, but I could not place it over Stojko's because it was technically inferior, regarding both jumps and spins. The spins were pretty.. bleh.. and a lot of the jump landings were awkward, although there were no falls. The footwork was good, and I think he portrayed his character more strongly than Candeloro did. His choreography was also the most interesting of the five (laid out well, and a good variation of movements).
3) Petrenko
Some of his choreography was a bit hokey, but that was popular back then and did suit the music fine. He was clean, and did two 3As, one in combination with a double, although I think the second 3A was two footed. The spins were just as bleh as Kurt's, if not more so. I preferred his basic skating to Candeloro's though. He just seemed more graceful and smooth.
4) Urmanov
His choreography I found a little weird, but it suited the music, and he skated with some expression. Some of his spins were great compared with the other guys, but there was one that was just awful, and made me cringe a LOT. Most of his jumps were alright, but the one almost-fall made me cringe even more so than after the bad spin. Overall it was a good program, but there were a couple of glaring flaws (the ones that I mentioned) which make me unable to place it higher than 4th.
5) Ok, I'll start with the strengths - the 3A and the triple-triple, and his speed and fluidity. He also had good footwork. BUT I do not think he played his character very strongly, and his spins were AWFUL! That single AND fall on the 3A must have been just.. humiliating. I have to admit that I do not like Candeloro, and therefore may be judging him a little harshly, but even if I did like him there is no way he could have been seen as better than Stojko or Browning in that particular program - I don't remember if he did place ahead of Browning in the LP or not, although I remember that he placed ahead of him overall and behind Stojko overall.
Urmanov has to be my least favorite men's Oly champion and I hated his costumes and his awful pro skates, too, Definitely it must have been fixed. Elvis should have won. Too bad Browning messed up the SP, otherwise he should have won. Great LP and arguably the most gifted male skater of the last two decades. The complete package. I became a Viktor fan when he gave some great pro skates with good technical content. Really like this guy, good man. but not a fan of the Russian princes on ice and that was him in 92, 94.
Philippe? Never liked his legs, wonky landings but give him credit for being original and trying to get the crowd as an eligible. I'd hate to be a judge but I think he was entertaining.
I'd like to say that all four guys went on to become great entertainers, except Urmanov who really turns me off.
That was such an odd year, because several blockbuster pro skaters had returned to "eligible" skating to compete, plus it was just two years after the previous Olympics, right smack in the Browning era--he'd won four world championships in the last five years. Then Browning, Boitano, and Petrenko all crashed and burned in the SP. This left Candeloro, Stojko, and the complete dark horse Urmanov in the running. Since I was rooting so strongly for Browning (as you say, Princess, arguably the most gifted skater of the past two decades) once he was out of the picture, I wasn't devoted to anyone. The two things I noticed about Urmanov that night and in his subsequent, rather short career were that he was always gracious in the spotlight and had a very pure, correct style--not inspiring but meticulous. "Russian prince on ice" just about describes him. His overly theatrical costumes probably went over better in Eastern Europe.
What one of you said about Urmanov's good looks being an advantage was plainly flashing before Stojko's eyes. Poor Elvis. In 1998, he faced another Russian prince on ice, the even more gorgeous Ilia Kulik. Again a clash of styles, and this time Stojko was injured as well. But he certainly gave it all he had, both in 1994 and 1998.

1. Lysacek didn't badly screw up his second Triple Axel, Browning and Candeloro did. Lysacek also didn't bomb in the SP, whereas Browning did.
2. As you can see by my marks, I don't think Urmanov or Petrenko displayed better artistry than Stojko.
3. You can't say Plushenko's technical content was the best of the field in 2010 simply because he did a Quad. The program was frontloaded, the jumps actually weren't great quality, he left out a combination jump, he didn't do a Triple Flip, his footwork was mediocre, and his spins sucked.
4. Artistically I prefer Plushenko's LP to Lysacek's. For Plushenko it's definitely one of his weakest Long Programs but he still shows greater personality and originality of movement and relation to the music than Lysacek, who literally skated like a robot. It's sad that someone with such beautiful body line has no soul. Everything he did was completely predictable and there was no sense of personal involvement with the music (notice how he finishes the program ahead of the music).
5. For me, Plushenko lost the Olympics to Lysacek in the Short Program. Lysacek may have been generic in the LP and done nothing with his music, but Plushenko worked against the music in the Short Program. The first two jumping passes were astounding but the performance borders on disgusting. It's a complete miss in terms of musical intepretation; he skates as if an entirely different soundtrack is playing.
6. Daisuke Takahashi should have the title of 2010 Olympic Champion. I don't care if he fell (on a Quad, which shouldn't have been downgraded; his Triple Toe was also unfairly downgraded) - it was a more difficult program than Evan's, his skating skills are better, and his artistry is better. Falling on a Quad isn't any less valuable than doing a weak Double Axel. Evan got some ridiculous +GOE and Program Component scores and Takahashi got unfair downgrades. Lovely.

High blood pressure in the lungs is called pulmonary hypertension (PH) or pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). PAH is a chronic and life-changing disease that can lead to right heart failure if left untreated. Read about other types of PH
Symptoms of PH, such as breathlessness and fainting, are similar to symptoms of other, more common diseases. Sometimes these symptoms mean you have another condition, but sometimes, these symptoms mean you have pulmonary hypertension. Learn about symptoms of pulmonary hypertension
Many pulmonary hypertension patients are diagnosed with PH in association with one or more related conditions. For instance, research shows that up to 30% of scleroderma patients, 20-40% of sickle cell patients and one out of every 200 HIV patients develop PH. Learn more about associated diseases
If you have symptoms of PH and/or have a disease associated with PH, please ask your doctor to consider pulmonary hypertension, especially if you have been diagnosed with something else with similar symptoms and treatment is not working.
While a number of treatments are available to help you manage your disease and feel better day-to-day, there is currently no cure for pulmonary hypertension. Identifying a disease early is always important, especially for a disease like PH that grows more severe with time. Furthermore, statistics show that it takes patients about 2.8 years from symptom onset to diagnosis, but the median lifespan for a PH patient not receiving treatment is also approximately 2.8 years.* It is critical that patients be diagnosed as early as possible so they can receive treatment and improve their chances for a better quality of life. Learn more about the importance of getting diagnosed early | Learn about how PH is diagnosed
Doctors who specialize in pulmonary hypertension have focused their practices on the diagnosis and treatment of pulmonary hypertension. Because PH is such a complicated disease to diagnose and treat, it is important that patients suspected of having PH see a PH specialist.

Fly-half JJ Hanrahan scored all Munster's points as they cantered to a 22-16 Pro12 victory over Connacht at Thomond Park.
Fly-half JJ Hanrahan scored all Munster's points as they cantered to a 22- 16 Pro12 victory over Connacht at Thomond Park on Friday.
Hanrahan bagged himself a converted try as well as a brace of penalties for the Limerick-based outfit as they went into the break 13-6 ahead. Dan Parks kicked two three-pointers for Pat Lam's men before the interval and added a third in the second half, but three Hanrahan penalties secured the win for the home team.
Dave Heffernan did go over late on to rescue a bonus-point, but it ended in yet another defeat for Connacht.
The visitors' victory over the Newport Gwent Dragons last week – just their second in the league this season – took them off the bottom of the Pro12 table. And the confidence garnered from that result seemed to spur them on early in this encounter.
Although Hanrahan kicked Munster in front, Parks almost immediately levelled proceedings at 3-3 via a penalty of his own in the 13th minute. Connacht's fly-half then added his second from the tee as they took the lead for the first time before the hosts found their attacking game when Hanrahan scampered over.
It was now Rob Penney's side that was firmly on top but, despite having chances to add further tries, a three-pointer from their fly-half was the final score of the half.
Munster continued to control proceedings early in the second period and, after Frank Murphy was sent to the sin bin, Hanrahan found the target once again with the boot.
James Cronin and Nathan White were then yellow carded for a scuffle and the hosts' pivot converted the resultant penalty opportunity. Parks did reduce the arrears after 62 minutes but Hanrahan's fifth three-pointer rubber-stamped the win, despite Heffernan's late try.
The scorers:
For Munster:
Try: Hanrahan
Con: Hanrahan
Pens: Hanrahan 5
Yellow Card: Cronin
For Connacht:
Try: Heffernan
Con: Parks
Pens: Parks 3
Yellow Cards: Murphy, White
The teams:
Munster: 15 Felix Jones, 14 Keith Earls, 13 Johne Murphy, 12 James Downey, 11 Ronan O'Mahony, 10 JJ Hanrahan, 9 Duncan Williams, 8 James Coughlan, 7 Sean Dougall, 6 Paddy Butler, 5 Dave Foley, 4 Donncha O'Callaghan, 3 John Ryan, 2 Niall Scannell, 1 James Cronin.
Replacements: 16 Damian Varley, 17 Alan Cotter, 18 Stephen Archer, 19 Billy Holland, 20 CJ Stander, 21 Gerry Hurley, 22 Johnny Holland, 23 Denis Hurley.
Connacht: 15 Gavin Duffy, 14 Fionn Carr, 13 Robbie Henshaw, 12 Eoin Griffin, 11 Matt Healy, 10 Dan Parks, 9 Frank Murphy, 8 Eoin McKeon, 7 John Muldoon, 6 Andrew Browne, 5 Craig Clarke (c), 4 Mick Kearney, 3 Nathan White, 2 Jason Harris-Wright, 1 Brett Wilkinson.

Garden Whispers
The garden was calling me today and so I stepped outside
to see what it wanted.
I didn't think it was water, it rained yesterday and all the hanging
pots got a drink last night.
I waited patiently, enjoying the moment to clear my head and
not think about all the things I need to do today.
I heard the buzzing of the bees and saw the flitting
of the dragon flies. A bird sang it's song up in the tree.
But then, somewhere in the coneflower it became apparent
that something was wrong.
There is a visitor in the garden and not a flower
is pleased at the arrival of this guest.
The Japanese Beetle has come to town and is
planning a large family reunion.
The roses and the hollyhocks wished me farewell as they
will be the first to go. A reminder that while we remain
on this side of heaven, there will always be the unwanted
mixed in with the breathtakingly beautiful.
May we pause among the flowers today and thank God for the blessings in our lives.

Friday Pretties
Today, for Friday Pretties, I am calling this "The Beauty of Ordinary Things". I love being in my sewing room and tried to capture the beauty of the things I see and use. When you look through your camera lens you often can see an object quite differently and I challenge you to do the same. It's fun!
Aunt Gracie fabrics make me smile
This iron is pink, surprisingly enough!
Oh to meet the lovely lady that embroidered this apron...
Quilt binding in "Hunky Dory"
This caddy is never far from my hands
I want to unroll it, but I just can't, too pretty!
I wonder how many times my hands have held these items?
My current project
For more Friday Pretties, visit Joyce at I Love Pretty Little Things!
With joy,

Summer Sewing
It has been incredibly hot in Michigan for the past few days. I am not complaining since the sting of this past winter is still fresh in my mind as well as the gray every-single-day of January. So I'll take the heat, literally. Since the weather has forced me inside, I've been able to cross some things off my project list. I've been wanting to make this top for my daughter for quite some time.
The pattern is Amy Butler's "Sun Surf Halter Tunic Top". I was pleasantly surprised at how easy it was, lining and all. I was careful to take good measurements as my daughter needed the size three times larger than what she normally wears.
The pattern was written quite well, easy for even this novice clothing maker to figure out. My daughter loves it and loves the fact that no one else will have it. I hope that it encourages her to try her hand at sewing as well. We'll see!

Fun Quilting Blog
I am in love with a blog that is new to me and wanted to share it with you today. Over 1200+ people follow Red Pepper Quilts located in Melbourne, Australia. Rita is the creator behind these wonderful quilts and I just stand it awe of her creativity.
Rita takes the most basic, simple blocks and with her use of color and pattern turns a quilt into a breathtaking work of art. Her color palette is much different than mine but I am drawn to it like a magnet.
The colors in this quilt are stunning and I love her random use of aqua for a bit of interest and variation. Be sure to stop by her blog for a visit and check out her Flickr for photos of other outstanding quilts.

From Trash to Treasure
Yesterday I was looking for a simple project and after cleaning my sewing room I remembered I had a footstool I've been wanting to recover.
I was excited when I found this at Goodwill for $9.50. I already had the rose decorator fabric and so I got to work.
I decided to add some vintage yo-yo's and make some leaves just to add some whimsy. I really like the way it turned out. What are you up to today?

Something Old to Something New
I hope that all of you experienced a safe and festive 4th of July. I had a bit of time to sew this weekend and have been wanting to try a pattern I have seen on two blogs, Cottage Cozy and Sweet Cottage Dreams. Carrie and Becky both made beautiful blouses and since I don't usually make clothing, I thought I would give it a try. I didn't want to use any "good" fabric since it's expensive and I didn't know if I would be able to figure it out so I search around in my pile of goodies and found two vintage tablecloths that had bad stains in places and had been purchased to make into something else. I used the floral cotton cloth for the front and back and used a linen, crochet trimmed cloth for the sleeves. I really like the way it came out and as my post title states, something old became something new.
I did learn a couple of things that I want to share. First of all, pattern sizing is not like purchased clothing items. I normally wear a size 10-12 top and needed to use the size 16 pattern for the blouse. It's important to take your measurements. I know we all get hung up on numbers (I'm one of the worst) but we are what we are, beautiful any size, and it would be so frustrating to finish it only to find out that you couldn't get it over your head. Also, the grain of the fabric is important. There is not a whole lot of stretch with a cotton tablecloth, but the little there is should have been placed in the opposite direction for sure. You want it to bend and stretch where you do. For a test sample, I'm quite pleased and plan on wearing it.
I ventured outside to see how the garden stood up to the intense heat on the 4th and caught a shot of this dragonfly. Honestly, it hung around so long that I thought it was posing!
I couldn't resist sharing this fantastic lily with you. I love it's ruffled edges and intense center color. It seems to me like it's sporting a fancy ball gown. I hope this day finds you thankful and rested from the weekend.

Sunday Scripture
"The Lord is the everlasting God,
the Creator of the ends of the earth.
He will not grow tired or weary,
and his understanding no one can fathom.
He gives strength to the weary
and increases the power of the weak.
Even youths grow tired and weary,
and young men stumble and fall;
but those who hope in the Lord
will renew their strength.
They will soar on wings like eagles;
the will run and not grow weary
they will walk and not be faint."
Isaiah 40:28-31
Wishing you a wonderful Fourth of July!
Be blessed,

Friday Pretties
I have an unusual Friday Pretty today. This is my son and he's been on my mind ever since he called last night. It was one of those calls the Mother of a ball player does not want to receive. I don't remember most of the conversation before and after I heard, "Mom, I took a ground ball to the forehead tonight." I realize that it was a good thing that he called and not a coach, or a doctor. I'm calculating in my head that a 225 pd. twenty-something year old hitting a ball pitched at 89 mph, ricocheting into the ground and my son's forehead. I squeaked out a "are you alright?" No stitches, just an incredible goose-egg sized lump/bruise and the makings of a major headache. I do remember him saying that he was lucky it just missed his eye. I weakly handed the phone to his father and offered up a thankful prayer to Jesus.
Taylor, who is going to be a sophomore this fall, plays baseball for a wonderful Christian college. His coach has placed him on a team this summer in New York, far away from us in Michigan. Though I miss him terribly, it's a great team and he's doing good community service, teaching youths about Christ and growing spiritually himself. I'm so thrilled with the man he is becoming. So while my heart aches a bit today and I wish I could see him, I trust that he is where he needs to be. So he's my Friday Pretty today, cause I think he's pretty special (and pretty cute too!)

It's Hunky Dory
All of your comments yesterday about the "Kinship of Women" were a balm for my soul. Thank you! I have had some time to do a little sewing this week, another balm for my soul. The quilt above is for my daughter. She picked out the fabric, "Hunky Dory", and I had strict instructions to keep it as simple as possible (what is she implying?) She wanted to see big fabric pieces and let the fabric do all the talking (even though she doesn't want to quilt yet, she's got the lingo down). I had two layer cakes, a jelly roll and some yardage of fabric. I did some big rectangles, squares and threw in a few rail fence blocks for interest (couldn't help myself...) She loves it and I need to get it off to the quilter. I'm planning on surprising her with crocheted pillowcases to match.
I had big plans to sell this pillow at the barn sale but never got it finished. Clearly my camera is dirty because there is not a spot in the middle of the pillow (I checked, twice). I found the piece already embroidered and put red gingham fabric on the back. It's a big pillow, measuring 26x26. The redwork is amazing, the stitches are so tiny.
The garden is just breath-taking this year. I keep bringing fistfuls in so I can enjoy them while they are here, before fall comes peeking around the corner. I was so disappointed to see some fall clothes at the mall the other day. Really? It's not even the 4th of July yet. Maybe that means there will be some good summer sales!

The Kinship of Women
Any women who sews or knits, or weaves,
blends colors in a tapestry or creates
a patchwork quilt, knows by the feel
that a single thread is weak but the
weaving, the blending, the intertwining
with many others makes it strong.
Any woman alone without friends to
sustain her, to nurture and support,
to hold with loving arms, like a single
thread, is weak. But the weaving,
the loving, the nurturing of others,
the networks of friendships makes
her strong.
The Kinship of Women 1994
Thanking the Lord for all of you today!

Meanwhile, someone has got to hold back the Juubi or Madara for Minato to have the time to visit with Naruto, so I voted for Sandaime and Tobirama.
I don't think Kakashi can defeat Obito given Obito is basically a Zetsu with Uchiha powers and highly primed mokuton. He doesn't even flinch with a huge hole in his chest, and probably he could even heal that at anytime he wanted. I voted for Kakashi to win or look like he wins, only because Obito wants him gone from their dimension while he thinks things through.

First Person
Position at Washington Post Makes Student's Role Models Her Colleagues
Below is a first person account from Dean's Intern Farah Mohamed about her ongoing internship at the Washington Post.
As I typed up short anecdotes from my latest interview on my iPhone, my fingers tried to rebel. I was sitting on a curb at the corner of 15th Street and Pennsylvania Avenue, where I'd been stationed for Inauguration Day coverage. The president would walk by some seven hours later, but the crowd was already sizable. I was here to observe and tell stories.
Working on four hours of sleep, a dwindling phone battery, and fingers too numb to avoid a battle with autocorrect, I somehow still felt exhilarated by it all. The patriotic music, the stories of people who traveled miles and woke up in the dark just to get a glimpse of the president, and most of all the statement I got to make before every interview: Hi, I'm Farah Mohamed, and I'm a reporter for The Washington Post. It made the early morning commute and the shivering despite six layers of clothing worth it. I was what I'd been working all this time to be: a journalist.
Inauguration Day is only one of the memorable experiences I've had while interning here.
Day two had me trudging up a hill in Georgetown interviewing District public school principals and Georgetown deans about a joint principal enrichment program.
Since then, I've contributed to stories such as the inauguration article, including two about Montgomery County, Md. (one on the bag tax and another on nightlife). I've tried my hand at obituaries. And I've written about a rare hummingbird.
Being a SOC Dean's Intern for the Metro section is surreal. From the moment I press my ID to the door to enter the office to the time I walk out those same doors, I feel, for lack of a better word, accomplished. I'm an insider at one of the best newspapers, and I'm sitting next to reporters whose bylines I – and countless numbers of others – have been reading for years. There's something inexplicably invaluable about watching -- and partaking in – the whole process. Where else can you hear the last minute interview of a story before it appears, seconds later online and hours later in the hands of the woman sitting next to you on the bus?
Apart from the daily awe, working at The Post has also given me a chance to hone the journalism skills I've developed at AU. The more I write, the more I feel that I'm mastering the nuances of journalism. Here, I'm a "real" journalist and a colleague to my role models. My assignments have taken me to places in Maryland and Virginia that I've never traveled to in my nearly four years at AU. I've learned how to write stories on an iPhone. And I've worked on a form of storytelling that is both trying and compelling: the obit.
To say I'm grateful for this internship would be an understatement. Working here has made me more certain of my career choice and humbled me to no end. It's challenging, but it's also exciting and empowering.
My hands have defrosted from Inauguration Day, but I'd be lying if I didn't say that I'm still in shock. I still catch myself smiling when I introduce myself, when I watch people's reactions, or even when I'm on the Metro knowing someone there could be reading something I'd been a part of.
I can only hope that this will one day be a daily reality and that the shock will subsist into some kind of gratifying immunity. For now, I'm content in being Farah Mohamed of The Washington Post, privy to unparalleled opportunities.

Aboard The Albany Gun Rally Express
by Tim Wenger
posted Feb 28 2013 7:49AM
I have to say, when Tom Bauerle came to me several weeks ago and said he wanted to broadcast his show from the February 28th Albany Gun Rally, I thought it was a pretty good idea. It would bring Tom and his listeners closer to the workings of democracy and out state government. So I agreed.
But when he went on to propose we send a bus full of listeners to Albany for the protest, I scratched my head and thought, really? Would anyone seriously take a full weekday, spend ten hours on a bus, all for a two hour rally?
Well I'm not sure why I questioned it at first. Obviously the answer is a resounding YES!
Our Promotions Manager Krystyna Karstedt quickly jumped into action as we opened registration online and saw the numbers grow by the hour for the free trip. Carl Paladino jumped onboard and supported a bus with his businesses along with Firearms training of WNY and The Buffalo Gun Center. But we did wonder, will they show up for a 5:30am departure? Again, the answer is a resounding yes as our parking lot at the WBEN studios in Amherst started to fill and come to life by 4am.
It really doesn't matter to me or WBEN where you stand on this issue of the NY SAFE ACT. What matters to us is that people have the passion for their beliefs and that they'll fight within their Constitutional rights for what they think is right. .These people aboard both our buses, more than eighty strong, are working Western New Yorkers who are taking a day of their life to rally for what they believe in. That's what it's all about.
I've met every single person on the buses and all are friendly and excited, despite being a tad tired. There is a sense of excitement aboard the buses as a group of mainly strangers who came together on the radio make a day-long trip to have their voices heard.
What will happen when the rally is over and the people and buses leave? No one knows for sure. The hopes of those aboard the buses is that a repeal will be in the works. But when all is said and done and the last person leaves the rally and the buses arrive back home, one thing is for sure.
Democracy worked and allowed a group of people passionate about an issue and their rights to be heard.
So what comes next? Be sure to leave your comments on that at

Let me know what you think....
Give um hell
I would be there but had a comp hearing - bless all y'all for taking the trip and I pray those ELECTED EMPLOYEES can hear you !. Cuomo is a tool for doing this to any American,especially 'his' employers = the people of NYS.
Thank you WBEN 930 AM and FM
I thinks that it is awesome that we have a radio station like WBEN and a staff, including Tom and Sandy that represent the concerns of WNY, NYS and USA! Thanks to the staff of WBEN!
Adam Lanza would be proud
to see he has supporters, though he may really not want the likes of Carl Paladino on his side. The kid did have some standards, after all.
Gun Rally Express
Thanks to you and Tom for your leadership in this upmost patrotic act!
How where the speakers at the rally?
Jerry from Cheektowaga
Your station's support for the "right wing gun nuts" shows that your station lost it's objectivity years ago!
Thank you
Tim, Thanks for your support in making this happen! Sounds like you had the ability to squash the idea early on....but you supported it...for that I applaud you. You last statement about Democracy working? Not sure....based on how these kinds of laws are being passed....and if they can't change then Democracy is not working. NO DATA exists that this law has any validility to stop tragedy like Newtown. We are independent thinking adults should be demanding clear thinking...and all we are getting is an emotionally drunk response.
You have lost the right to call your station a news organization...
You are shills for a point of view shared by fewer & fewer people by the day and for whatever dwindling ratings you can get from this small minority in the state. WBEN's audience is basically 60 and dying off. As long as you continue playing the role of an echo chamber for a minority point of view, you will continue to lose audience and credibility.
Kudos to WBEN and staff
Thanks for doing what the station offered to it's listeners, for a very worthwhile ride to rally. I only wish we all could of been there. All us "right wing gun nuts" in Albany that were out of control firing round after round up into the aimless sky's of New York!
So Sad
It's too bad the cowards that support making more victims by disarming good people didn't show up. Although a few made some comments here....but then again they are very strong, behind their keyboard. Pathetic little Marxist minions, I am sure everyone of them is on food stamps or works for us taxpayers. And Yes us taxpayers are shrinking, because we are moving to FREE States.
Awesome protest
I was on SCOPE bus 5. I am now again proud to be a New Yorker. We need to keep the pressure on Albany. More and more counties are passing resolutions against NY SAFE. Keep up the fight
This is why WBEN is the Top Station in NY.
Tim, It was an Honor to meet you and your tech gang at the rally. It's people like You and Tom,Sandy and your crew that make the quality of living in NY go up. The Gov has done nothing but bring it to the pits of existance. I wish I could have meetTom as the two of us in trench coats would have made a great pic. I was in the black one. Again, your the BEST. Swede.

Need a Website? You got It!
Caroline Weaver is an editor at the National Gallery of Art, where she works on both print and web projects. She is pursuing a graduate certificate in Digital Media through American University's School of Communication (SOC). Weaver holds a B.A. in English and French from Mary Washington College, where she also worked in the Ridderhof Martin Gallery, and covered the fine and performing arts for the school's newspaper. After earning an M.A. in French from the University of Virginia, she parlayed her love of language, art, and research into a career including positions on the reference staff of the Archives of American Art (Smithsonian Institution) and as a writer and editor for Kennedy Center/VSA. She has also written for DC Daily Candy and Women in the Arts magazine.
SOC sat down with Weaver, to discuss her work on a comprehensive website design as part of her Capstone project, a component of her final class in the Digital Media program.
SOC: Tell us about your Capstone project?
Weaver: Using the WordPress CMS (content management system), I developed a website for Chris Palmer (www.ChrisPalmerOnline.com). Chris is not only an award-winning film producer, he is also a speaker, author, educator, and an overall inspiring person who, by example, encourages others to engage meaningfully with work and life.
SOC: How is the project helping you reach your professional goals?
Weaver: I began my career in museums learning the nuts and bolts of publishing large scholarly illustrated catalogs. The first book I helped shepherd through publication weighed 10.4 pounds (more than many newborn babies). I love working in museums and I believe there will always be an audience for exquisite art books. However, the publishing landscape has changed. This project taught me how to use a dynamic digital publishing platform, a necessary complement to my print publishing skill set. I'm interested in shaping the future of digital art/museum publishing, and this project has acquainted me with some of the principles and practices that will help me do that.
SOC: What were some challenges?
Weaver: Work-school balance has been the most difficult. Fortunately, my colleagues at work have been very supportive, but that doesn't change the fact that there are still only 24 hours in a day. The course instructor, Nick Ray, helped me not to panic when I felt overwhelmed by deadlines. As far as technical challenges, Nick has been very forthcoming in helping me navigate some of the trickier aspects—initially I felt a little intimidated, but in the end, these challenges only helped me better learn the subject matter. It was simply a matter of casting apprehension aside and jumping in—and asking for help, when needed.
SOC: Can you tell us a little more about your experience with the Capstone instructor?
Weaver: Nick Ray has been absolutely great to work with. He is accessible and remarkably patient with those of us who have, shall we say, a less sophisticated level of digital literacy. I have the impression he is sincerely dedicated to empowering others through education, particularly about technology. It was a pleasure to work with someone expertise with others.
SOC: What was it like working with Chris Palmer?
Weaver: It was terrific. Chris is such a positive person and his energy is really contagious. He had a vision of what he wanted for his site, but he gave me a great deal of autonomy in putting it together. He knew what he wanted, provided thorough feedback and communication, and trusted me to do the work; he has been an ideal client! Also, by working on his site and reading his book (Shooting in the Wild), I became better acquainted with the ethical issues involved in wildlife and environmental films. I am proud to work with someone dedicated to ethical inquiry and raising awareness about best practices, animal welfare, and conservation issues. It has been an incredibly rewarding project in so many different ways, and I'm grateful to have had the experience.
SOC: What do you think Professor Palmer, why is this new website so important? And who is your target audience?
Palmer: I wanted to create ChrisPalmerOnline.com so people interested in my work would have one place to visit to learn about my filmmaking, speaking, writing, and teaching activities. The site is for anyone seeking my help, advice, or involvement; readers of my blog; those interested in filmmaking ethics; students; and anyone interested in the subject matter.
SOC: Share with us your thoughts about the experience.
Palmer: Working with Caroline has been extraordinarily positive and rewarding. I found her responsive, creative, results-oriented, and an absolute delight to work with. Her work of the project has been outstanding. She has performed with the utmost efficiency and effectiveness and I have loved collaborating with her.

Cute but too tall!
"I just loved this shoe, but found it way too tall and a possible hazard if I was to wear them out. (falling over, twisting my ankle) Maybe some women can wear shoes this tall, but I decided I couldn't risk it! Wish they came with a shorter heel, because I really loved the look of this shoe."

"I love these booties!! I finally got them after looking at them for about a month online! They have that perfect rocker chick edge! The size and width are just right! I'm usually an 8 1/2 but IF only runs in whole sizes, so I got an 8 which fits perfect! (any bigger and I think my foot would slide out.) They are pretty tall so if you have a hard time walking in heals then you might want to reconsider but if you're looking for an unordinary shoe with some character these are definitely the way to go!"
