>Patches have been a long lasting tradition in Scouting.. not only are they fun to trade, sew on a patch blanket, or wear on a jacket or uniform.. they are the colorful story of Scouting. Each patch designed to represent the area, the event, the flavor of a time. For 101 years patches in Scouting have represented achievement, service, commitment, and lots of camping. Patches have taken us down the path of Historic trails, 50 mile treks, food collections, hundreds of learning opportunities, and to the rank of Eagle.
Now not all Scouts and Scouters are collectors of patches, I am, but whether a collector or not, patches have played an important role in Scouting and I would venture to guess they always will.
I have always collected or at least held on to Scouting patches and never really gave them to much thought, until the 2010 National Jamboree. I became an official Patch nut.
At the National Jamboree I really saw the value of Scout Patches. Friendship. Thousands of Scouts and Scouters that would spend countless hours in conversation over patches. Trading, sharing, and making friends along the way.
Patches really do play a big part in telling our Scouting Story.
Here are some patches from Camporee's in our District.. they are not worth a whole lot in the trading world.. but they tell of some great camping experiences.
Patches… yes we need Patches…
Have a Great Scouting Day!

Okay, I forgot about Stratos. He looks okay (he was always one of my favorites of the original line), but you're absolutely right - useless with that action feature. Ram Man I can't say I really have a problem with - while it would have been cooler with more articulation, he's exactly what I expected though.
There are few bigger proponents of articulation over gimmick than myself. I do agree with you completely about how much cooler these could've been. I would have absolutely loved for the new He-Man figures to have been loaded down with Marvel Legends style articulation and no action features at all, but I knew as soon as this line was announced that I should not expect that. It's really difficult for me to try and articulate why this is perfectly acceptable to me in this instance. I could probably best liken it to buying a bucket of army men and not expecting anything more than non-poseable, solid green figurines. They are what they are, ya know? Plus, they're all still more poseable than the originals.
I totally understand why you feel the way you do about the line. If we were talking Star Wars figures I'd have completely the opposite opinions about the action features and articulation (actually I feel that way even though we aren't talkin' about 'em). It just seems perfectly acceptable to me with the He-Man line. If they decided to change the status quo tomorrow and completely redo the line with tons of articulation (so He-Man can grip his sword two-handed and Trap Jaw could aim his gun a the good guys) and zero gimmicks, I doubt few would be happier than me. I just don't think it's gonna happen, and I'm perfectly okay with that.
Like I said, to each his own. I expect you probably won't be buying anymore Masters figures, but personally I plan to stick with the line for a long time to come.

Had a great hunt the last weekend of fall turkey season (Dec 28-29) here in Wisconsin. I took a friend of mine out who had been out a few times spring and fall, but had yet to take his first turkey. We hunted a gobbler group of about a dozen gobblers and jakes that I had located earlier in the week. It was also warm enough where I could put the new tongue teaser call I got from Willowridge to good use without my fingers freezing up. I had used it a few times before and really liked it for fall hunting. It's my favorite friction call for fall hunting (I'm typically a mouth call guy) because it's so versatile. It will make every sound you need from young poult kee kees to raspy old hen and gobbler yelps.
Sunrise found us set up across a field from the roost about 500 yds away (I would have liked to be below the roost but I hadn't been able to get hold of the landowner the night before). Anyways, the birds were nice and vocal on the roost, and it was a still morning so we could hear everything. There was lots of gobbler yelping and gobbling. We managed to call the group all the way across the field to us and my buddy shot a nice tom at 30 yards.
We went and hunted another farm down the road without seeing anything and went into town for a lunch break. Headed back out to the first farm around 2:30, talked with the landowner and got the go-ahead to get into their roost area. We still hunted our way in and set up in the draw they roosted in just under the top of the crest. after an hour or so of intermittent calling a jake responded over the crest about 100 yards away. We got on the calls and had the birds pretty riled up, they were yelping, cutting and gobbling at us and they eventually came marching over the crest to us. Their heads were all fired up red, white and blue like in the spring time. They began to fight amongst themselves directly in front of us until my buddy had a clear shot and took a jake. The rest jumped a bit and hopped/glided a couple yards off. I got on the call again and managed to bring them back around after a minute or two with some fighting purrs. I shot a gobbler at 30 yds and again the rest jumped back over the crest but continued to call and mill around. We probably could have called them back again, but my friend was out of tags and I wanted to save my last one for Tuesday, so we let them wander off. It was one of those great fall encounters in the woods that I absolutely love. We had a dozen turkeys milling around within shotgun range for 10-15 minutes while we waited for an open shot between the trees, they put on quite a show.
So it ended up being a great day in the woods. Birds were active, responsive to calls and we ended up with three very nice birds. My friend took a gobbler and a jake, and although he has hunted turkey before (both spring and fall) they were the first birds he has taken. I told him he was part of a very select group, with his first turkey ever being a fall gobbler called in to the gun.

JACKSON – The House sent charter school legislation to conference Monday, meaning House and Senate leaders will have to meet to work out the differences between the two chambers on the contentious issue.
Other key education proposals also appear headed to conference this week.
The House had the option to concur in the Senate proposal to strengthen the state's charter school law and send the legislation to Gov. Phil Bryant for his signature. But instead House Education Chair John Moore, R-Brandon, invited conference. That motion passed with no debate.
In a session where several education proposals are alive in more than one bill, there is another bill pending on the House calendar that the full chamber could send to the governor instead of inviting conference. That omnibus bill includes charter schools, enhanced standards for teachers and a provision to require most students to read on grade level before leaving the third grade.
Earlier, Moore said he anticipated all major education proposals to be sent to conference instead of being passed directly to the governor. But on Monday, he was hesitant to say what will happen to the omnibus bill.
He has until March 28 to try to get the votes in the House to send the bill to the governor, to send it to conference or to let it die on the calendar.
"The key is that everything is alive and well right now," Moore said.
Charter schools has been one of the more contentious education issues this session. Charter schools receive public funds but are exempt from many of the guidelines governing traditional public schools. In return, they agree to meet predetermined academic goals.
On Monday, the House, on a recommendation from Moore, also sent to conference legislation that included much of Bryant's Education Works agenda, including the requirements for reading on grade level by the third grade and the enhanced standards for students entering schools of education.
Other education proposals likely to go to conference this week for negotiations include:
• A pre-school program developed under auspices of the Department of Education.
• School safety. The House wants to arm school employees while the Senate wants to help local districts place law enforcement in the schools.
• Mergers of Oktibbeha and Starkville school districts and Clay and West Point schools districts.
• Appointed superintendents. The House wants people in districts with elected superintendents to vote on whether to change to an appointed superintendent while the Senate wants an election only if voters petition for it.

When Infosys (INFY) plunged 21% a week ago after missing earnings, it could be blamed simply on its management's rose-colored guidance from three months earlier. And while Infosys remains the biggest disappointment in the IT services business, we now know it's not the only one.
Infosys's plunge came after the company's sales fell short of analyst forecasts, and its management predicted tough times in the months ahead. At the time, some analysts suspected that the problems were "company specific." Now we know that's not the case.
Today, Indian competitor Wipro (WIT) has plunged 4.1% to $8.13, while IBM (IBM) has plummeted 7.3% to $192.06, after their own disappointments reflected some troubles for the industries bigger payers.
Wipro, for instance, said first-quarter sales for its IT services business would come in between$1.58 billion and $1.61 billion, at best a 1.6% increase, Reuters said. Analysts had been forecasting a rise of 1 to 4 percent. IBM, meanwhile, reported that revenue had declined 5%.
And despite being miles apart in geography, both companies cited similar reasons for their shortfalls: Trouble closing deals. Here's Reuters:
Some of the deals that Wipro had expected to close in the March quarter had been delayed to the current quarter, Suresh Senapaty, Wipro's chief financial officer, told reporters.
"While we don't give a specific guidance and we're starting the year with a little weaker guidance … our expectation would of course be that we'll do better in the current fiscal than what we did last year," he said.
In another sign that a robust recovery in demand remains elusive, U.S.-based IBM Corp, which employs roughly 100,000 people in India, on Thursday missed earnings estimates as it struggled to close deals in the United States and Europe.
Of course, everyone's blaming the weaker global economy. Now it's time to see how they adapt.

The perfect gift for any art enthusiast:Memberships start at just $85.
NARRATOR: In 1918, O'Keeffe went back to using oil paint—a vivid, luminous medium that allowed her to develop a vibrant palette that was unlike anyone else's. She began using titles that called attention to that color—like this one, Music, Pink and Blue.Pink and blue are far from the only colors that O'Keeffe uses here, but overall the painting is a play between warm and cool tones. Two soft lobes emerge from the painting's upper corners—shallow but tactile volumes of blue, green, and lavender. They move towards each other, but don't meet. Instead they touch up against tender sprouts of pinks and orange that seem to grow from the volume in the lower right. Overall the canvas is rhythmic, varied, and harmonious—qualities O'Keeffe associated with the music she refers to in the title. Modernist artists admired music because it was expressive even when it didn't have words or evoke specific images. O'Keeffe found this quality especially compelling.GEORGIA O'KEEFFE: I can see shapes. It's as if my mind creates shapes that I don't know about. I can't say it any other way. But I get this shape in my head. And sometimes I know what it comes from and sometimes I don't. And I think with myself that there are a few shapes that I have repeated a number of times during my life and I hadn't known I was repeating them until after I'd done it.

Cabbies' protest ends as demands met
April 30, 2008 news.com.au
A PROTEST by cab drivers which has caused mayhem in Melbourne's CBD appears to have ended with cabbies having their demands for safer conditions met.
Driver representative Mohammed Jama and Victorian Taxi Directorate general manager Peter Corcoran said safety screens would be made compulsory in taxis and introduced by Christmas.
Pre-paid fares will be compulsory between 10pm and 5am each night, and the State Government will cover all medical costs for a driver stabbed and left for dead this week.
Mr Jama said he was happy with the result and drivers could remove the screens if they did not want them.
The taxi drivers, who had blockaded the city centre for almost 22 hours, cheered as they were told the Government had agreed to their demands to improve safety.
The State Government has agreed to foot half the bill for the taxi shields, with owners expected to pay the rest.
The agreement followed a meeting with Public Transport Minister Lynne Kosky this afternoon.
Earlier, at least 250 other drivers said they would continue to blockade the intersection of Swanston and Flinders Streets unless they were satisfied with the Minister's response.
Ms Kosky said she had also agreed to meet taxi representatives again to help resolve other problems in the industry.

text: I like the Jordan and Hunter start to the draft. I am not a fan of Wood, but admittedly part of that may be how poorly USC receivers have faired in the NFL in recent years. Love the Micheal Johnson pickup from Cincy. That, combined with Jordan, would give Miami the type of pass rush to take the defense to the next level and he has familiarity to Coyle, which is huge in free agency and adopting to a new team. I don't think we'll be able to sign as many free agents as you have, but I like the direction you are heading.

Flew to Melbourne today, for a few holidays + the Drupal Down Under. Had a problem with my K3805-Z stick, wasn't recognised anymore on this machine. Perhaps the Oneiric upgrade? According to syslog usb-modeswitch crashed when inserting the stick. The solution was to get the 1.21 usb_modeswitch, compile and install it, and that fixed the problem.
Good for performance as the always reliable K3565 Vodem worked, but is feeling a bit slow these days.
The only problem I still have is that Ubuntu itself doesn't pickup on the USB sticks anymore. It used to that, perhaps my playing around a year ago to get the K3805-Z working killed things. So need the latest vodafone-mobile-connect-card-driver-for-linux to connect me.

Congratulations to Chris Granger on his successful Light Table IDE Kickstarter project proposal. It is inspirational. I find myself inordinately pleased that he didn't call it LightTable.
Unfortunately, it does not appear that it will be very useful for me or for people like me, programming in type-enabled languages like C++ and (one can hope) Clay, or even C, any time soon. Furthermore, the Java-world heritage implies a tolerance for the slow and stupid (e.g. Eclipse). There ought to be room for a complementary project tuned for those of us working with C++. To that end, I have registered luxmensa.org. (I suffer a fond delusion that Latin-geeks will admire the attempted pun.) The name is meant to imply a spin of the Light Table idea for Real Programmers. I'll hand the name over to anybody who can use it better than I can.
The problem, of course, is that your typical IDE is intolerable for anybody serious about working on code. Tiled windows? Mouse-based editing? Please. We need interaction with shell pipes, embedded editors including real emacs and vim, a deep awareness of git semantics, maybe auto-generating and auto-running of tests and micro-benchmarks of code fragments during editing. The useful features are those that make hard things easier, not those that make easy things mindless, or that automate what would best not be done at all.
Firefox still crashes regularly, but now less predictably. I sometimes wonder if it is AdBlock or NoScript that is responsible for the worst leaks, but I recover my wits quickly.

Assignment: Education - Bike Works
Logan Middle School After School Program
LA CROSSE, Wis. -- Sawing isn't a sound you'd typically hear coming from a locker room, but you also wouldn't expect to see bikes.
"The shower area is actually a place where we put the bikes that are most likely to get fixed-up and put back on the road, said Matthew Christen. "The toilet area is for our vintage bikes."
This previously unused space is now home to the Logan Middle School Bike Works after school program run by retired Logan Middle School teacher Matthew Christen.
"I'm an avid cyclist and advocate around," said Christen. "So, I was trying to find a way for the students to get a little bit more involved in biking to school or using a bicycle more often."
So last Spring, Mr. Christen started Bike Works and turned this unused locker room into a bike shop.
"We have the room divided up so all the lockers are being used to help separate and help organize the parts," said Christen.
Parts which are needed to help repair the students' bikes.
"When I was on recess duty I used to count how many bikes would be in the racks each day, and what I noticed, also, was the bikes were in such poor shape," said Christen.
So, as part of the after school program, students learn bicycle maintenance, road safety and can even earn a refurbished bike.14733846
"The students come in, they work," said Christen.
"I'm working on getting this back tire back onto this bike," said Zack Magnuson, Bike Works member.
"They have to take a pre-test," said Christen. "Then they have to work on a couple of educational pieces."
"Brakes, gears, tires, chains, really anything on the bike, I can fix," said Magnuson.
"They have to be able to independently show an A-B-C quick check," said Christen.
"I already know how to check the tire, make sure there's air in it-- if there's enough. Brakes and chain," said Virginia Rodriquez, Bike Works member.
"They have to be able to label at least 18 out of 20 parts on the bicycle to identify them," said Christen. "And then they have to work in the shop; a little sweat equity."
Once those steps are completed, students can leave the bike shop with a refurbished bike and a new helmet.
"We had some older bikes here in the bike shop. I thought that it'd be cool to have one," said Magnuson. "So, we fixed it up. I was able to bring it home, and I ride it a lot."
Aside from Zack, 16 other students have also been able to bring bikes home this year which is one of the main goals of this program.
"Our ambition is to see as many bikes get turned around and into people's hands," said Christen.
So these students will continue to work in high gear to get more bikes in the bike racks.

Ryan Bingham - Voyage
While touring as the opening act for Willie Nelson, Ryan Bingham and his band, The Dead Horses, had the opportunity to check out the Voyage-Air Guitar that travels on the bus with Willie Nelson's band. He was so impressed with it that Nelson's harp player, Mickey Raphael phoned to see if he could buy a guitar for Ryan.
Well, of course, we were thrilled especially given all the success that Ryan has had this past year, winning an Academy Award, a Golden Globe Award, an Americana Music Award and a Grammy! All due to a song that he co-wrote with producer T-Bone Burnett that became the theme song for the Jeff Bridges movie "Crazy Heart".
Ryan also performed the theme song "The Weary Kind" and another called "I Don't Know" in the movie. He had a small role as a band member in Colin Farrell's character's band, as a fellow named Tony.
Actively touring to promote his third major release "Junky Star", Ryan took a few minutes in Nashville to break in his new Voyage-Air Guitar. See the video below.

Chinese equities fell, on concerns that money market rate hit a six-month high. The Hong Kong Hang Seng Index lost 0.4%. The Shanghai Composite Index slumped 2%.
China Everbright Bank lost 4% on its first day of trading after raising $3 billion, in Hong Kong's largest IPO this year.
China is close to offering a deposit insurance plan ahead of a key step of interest rate liberalization – the removal of deposit rate ceiling. Just like U.S.'s FDIC, insurance plans are installed to prevent bank runs.
Canada regulator accused Silvercorp Metals (SVM) short seller of fraud. Barron's had a feature story on the jailed Chinese researchers who worked for the short seller and the perils of on-the-ground stock research in China.
Hong Kong mobile telecom HKT, controlled by PCCW (0008.HK), agreed to buy Telstra Corp.'s CSL for $2.4 billion. HKT will have 31% of the market. Shares in PCCW rose 6%.

S&P raised Mexico's credit rating from BBB to BBB+ on the passing of the energy reform bill.
The EU filed a complaint against Brazil at the WTO, saying Brazil's tax policies discriminate against European manufacturers. In 2011 and 2012, to counter slower growth, the government gave tax breaks to domestic car firms, prompting European car makers to open local factories there.
Petrobras (PBR) said three of its offshore fields are commercial.
GDP expanded 5.1% from a year earlier in the third quarter, the fastest pace in six quarters. The growth was driven by the construction sector, which rose 21% year-on-year. Growth in other sectors "remained stable compared to Q2 at 4% year-on-year," wrote Barclays in a research note today. Economists expect Colombia's central bank to hold rates steady at this month's meeting.

Dogs on leashes are welcome.
Please monitor the website for last minute changes.
Commission Office: 249-0628
Milford's Trails: Please feel free to select the following links, download, and print the trail maps. You may also obtain a booklet which includes the trail maps and information at the Conservation Commission office. The operation of motorized wheeled vehicles is prohibited on all Commission trails in Milford. Operators of motorized wheeled vehicles must have written permission by the landowner before using trails on private land.
1. Emerson Park Trail; Short trail along the Souhegan River beginning in Emerson Park located beside the Milford Post Office running west along the Souhegan River and ending in the grounds of the Souhegan Valley Boys and Girls Club. A very easy walk and delightfully pleasant. If you wish to continue, the trail continues as the Souhegan River Trail. Until blazing is in place - follow the footpath along the river behind the Souhegan Valley Boys and Girls Club. Continue past the Judd Gregg Bridge on the gravel path bordered by a stockade fence. At the sidewalk on Mont Vernon Street, turn left continuing on the sidewalk until you reach the MCAA sports fields. The trail continues from the back right (southwest) corner of the fields where there is a hiking sign.
2. Mayflower Hill/Patch Hill Town ForestTrail; Identified by signs, the two entrances to this 42 acre conservation land provide access to well used trails. One entrance is on Shady Lane and the other is located at the end of Falconer Avenue Extension. The main trail is circular and leads to Look-Out Point and passes an old granite quarry operation. The area provides a leisurely walk in a quiet setting in spite of being surrounded by development and very close to the town center. Patch Hill Section and Milford to Amherst via Mayflower Hill Town Forest
3. Hitchiner Town Forest Trail; This property is located at the end of Mullen Road off Osgood Road. A large pavilion stands near the parking lot. The well-marked trail includes Burns Hill. The top of the hill is not on town property but forms part of the trail with permission of the owner and provides for excellent views. There are several old logging roads and ski-mobile trails which add to the accessibility of the land. This land is classified as Town Forest. Further trail expansion is planned with monies coming from the sale of timber.
4. Tucker Brook Town Forest Trail; This 258 acre conservation property provides good hiking opportunities. There are three entrances from either Boulder Drive, Savage Road or Whitten Road. The property contains forest, pine groves, beaver ponds, large wetland areas and Tucker Brook Falls, located on Tucker Brook which runs through the property. There is also the remains of an old mill along this brook. Tucker Brook also has a Permanent Orienteering Course . Video
5. Souhegan River Trail; This trail runs along the Souhegan River, but is not continuous. The eastern portion of the trail is accessed from the MCAA fields on North River Rd or at Emerson Park. The Emerson Park Trail is the start of the Souhegan River Trail East. Hikers can do an out-and-back 1.7 mile hike to Souhegan Gardens greenhouses. The western section of the trail is accessed from a parking lot near 544 North River Rd. This section is an out-and-back along the Souhegan River for about 1 mile. This portion of the trail is very seasonal, sections are often under water when the Souhegan River is running high.
6. Mile Slip Town Forest Trails; Directions to Mile Slip Town Forest: Head west from the Oval and make the immediate left onto Union St., drive 0.6 miles and turn right onto Osgood Rd. Continue 0.7 miles and turn right onto Mason Rd. (Osgood Pond will be on your right). Drive 2.3 miles, turn left onto Mile Slip Rd. The parking lot for this town forest is just over 2 miles on the right. [All trails remain closed to motorized wheeled vehicles indefinitely.]
The Mile Slip Town Forest is as close to wilderness as you can get in Milford. This area has many natural resource features in addition to being a great place to recreate. Wildlife, including bears, bobcat and moose, use this part of town. It connects to nearly 7,000 acres of undeveloped land in Brookline, Mason, Wilton and Milford. On March 8, 2005 the 75% of citizens voting in Milford agreed to purchase this 452 acre parcel. The closing on the property was August 24th of 2005.
For his Eagle Scout award, a local scout made a permanent 36 control Orienteering 'O'Course. The grand opening was a Zombie Orienteering event in November 2016. He created 3 courses to meet the needs of beginners to advanced orienteerers. The EASY course has controls that are within 10 feet of the trail. The MEDIUM course controls are within 25 feet of the trail. The DIFFICULT course controls are located over 25 feet off the trails utilizing compass and map reading skills.
7. Granite-Town Rail Trail; This nearly 3 mile trail runs from the DPW Garage on 283 South St., crosses Union St., goes under Rt. 101, across Armory Rd., Melendy Rd. and on to the Brookline Town line at the power lines. The trail continues another 4 miles in Brookline. There are 2 parking areas in Milford, South St just north of the DPW garage and on Armory Rd.

Buy Sheet Music by
Kris Kristofferson at:
Over the course of a 5 decade career, Kris Kristoffersons songs have been recorded by artists from Waylon Jennings (The Taker) to Janis Joplin (Me and Bobby McGhee).
Kristofferson was born on June 22, 1936 in Brownsville, Texas. The oldest of three children, Kristofferson showed an early talent for writing and secured a Rhodes scholarship to Oxford University in England. At Oxford, Kristofferson first started writing and performing his own songs. He recorded an album for Top Rank Records under the alias Kris Carson to little success and left England in 1960 after graduating with a masters degree from Oxford. During the early 1960s, he served in the US army quickly rising in the ranks and eventually securing a position at West Point military academy.
It wasnt until 1966 that Kristofferson had his first success as a songwriter with Viet Nam Blue. Recorded by Dave Dudley, the song peaked in the Country Top 20. The next 4 years saw more success for Kristofferson: Roy Drusky hit the country Top 40 with Jody and the Kid; Billy Walker and the Tennessee Walkers recording of From the Bottle to the Bottom reached the top 20 in 1969; Roger Miller released his recording of Me and Bobby McGee, which reached the country top 20; Ray Stevens released Sunday Mornin Comin Down entering both the pop and country charts; Faron Young released Your Times Comin which peaked in the Country top five.
During the 1970s, 80s and 90s, continued penning hit songs including Help Me Make It Through the Night, I Wont Mention It Again and Please Dont Tell Me How the Story Ends. He also embarked on a successful performing artist and acting career, appearing in more than 15 films and touring with the Highwaymen Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings and Johnny Cash.

Wayne Law mourns death of civil rights activist Chokwe Lumumba
Wayne State University Law School offers condolences to the family of Chokwe Lumumba, class of 1975, who died Tuesday, Feb. 25. He was 66.
Lumumba, a longtime civil rights activist, was elected mayor of Jackson, Miss., in July and was honored in January by the Detroit and Michigan Chapter of the National Lawyers Guild.
Services are planned for this weekend in Jackson.
"Chokwe Lumumba decided early in his life that he could bring change and best serve the civil rights movement as a lawyer. He earned his law degree cum laude at Wayne Law, but he was a political activist by the time he was a teenager," Wayne Law Dean Jocelyn Benson said. "We will miss this civil rights champion."

Bring this old-fashioned classic up to date with fresh bell peppers and mushrooms.
You can use a 4-ounce can of mushroom pieces and stems, drained, instead of the fresh mushrooms. Add the mushroom liquid with the milk in step 2 for a mightier mushroom flavor.
Why not turn to tuna? Tuna à la King is as easy as replacing the chicken with a 12 1/2-ounce can of drained tuna.
Make your chicken fit for a king! Serve it over toasted bread triangles, as shown, instead of rice.

Debbie showed us a little dress she made this past weekend for her grandbaby Tyler, and it. Is. The. Cutest. Thing. We want to share the cuteness, so comment on this post to win a copy of the pattern she used, Claire by Portabello Pixie! We'll post a winner next Thursday!
I had one of those marathon sewing weekends planned with two major projects to work on. One was a quilt kit for our website that just needed putting together and the other was to make a cute little dress for my granddaughter, Tyler Katelynn. I am going to San Anselmo, CA, to visit her this weekend and just wanted to take a little something to her! You know how Grandmas are; there always needs to be a surprise in the suitcase!
With some help from Jocelyn, I chose the pattern called "Claire" by Portabellopixie! I could not resist that darling little girl pictured on the cover, and the dress she is modeling is just what I had in mind. It also helped that Sandi Henderson, the pattern designer, sized this pattern for little girls from 6-12 months up to size 8. Tyler Katelynn could virtually have this dress in different fabrics until she reaches size 8! I also loved that I had four different choices of styles in which to make this little dress; short, long, with or without sleeves, and with or without an apron. So many choices; which one to choose this time around?
Then there was the decision of fabrics! The possibilities were endless and I could have dwelled on that decision forever! You know the saying, "So many fabrics and so little time"? Well, that was me! One collection that recently caught my eye is from Riley Blake Designs, a new manufacturer to the Fat Quarter Shop. It's called Just Dreamy! And believe me, it is just dreamy!
For the bodice, I used the Pink Tone on Tone (C7005-PINK), for the sleeves the Pink Small Floral (C7004-PINK). The skirt is the Rose Medium Floral (C7008-ROSE), and the apron is the Cream Tone on Tone (C7005-CREAM). The skirt and apron bands are the Pink Stripe (C7003-PINK). The yo-yo flowers I made with the extra fabric, and the leaves from my Lake House stash.
I started working on this project early Saturday morning with the intent of just getting it cut out... then I thought, well I'll just put the bodice together and see how it looks... then it was, I'll just work on the apron and make those cute little yo-yo flowers with rick-rack stems... then I'll just gather together the skirt and apron and attach it to the bodice... Before I knew it, it was early afternoon and the dress was almost completely finished! I could not stop working on this project. The instructions were easy to follow and it was a breeze to put together! I kept thinking of the endless possibilities of fabrics and styles, and my mind was racing way ahead of my sewing capability!
Anyway, Tyler Katelynn will get this dress on Friday, and I hope it fits! I haven't seen her since March, but her mom reassured me that one of the size options would work for her little body! I'll definitely be bringing back photos of her in the dress, and I'm sure you will get to see those! So stay tuned!

Picked up INCREDIBLE HULK 54 on account of jjreason's enthusiastic blurbing. Fantastic art. The story was spartan, but basically it was a slugfest between Bruce and a beautifully rendered Abomination, so what can you expect.
But now I'm confused. Because Betty is dead (or in a coma)? And General Ross is alive again? And it doesn't matter whether Bruce is big and green or not, he still has Hulk strength? But apparently it does matter to somebody because they want Hulk blood ( for what purpose isn't explained)? And some guy dies in a car explosion and another chick is shot (except it's not her) over a DVD (Been there.)? I feel like I haven't read this book in seven years ( oh wait, I haven't...)
I went back through my trusty comic log. I have every issue from... 183(OH C'MON... 183?!? What are the odds I was two issues shy of Wovie's 1st appearance?) up until 427. Give or take an issue. (211,218,224,226, 295, 334) 334? What happened there? Then I guess 432 and 436 had cool covers or something because I have those too. But durned if I can remember what happened towards the end ( other than Jim Wilson dying of AIDS. Powerful issue)
Anyway. Apparently they dropped "The" when they restarted the book. That's very popular at Marvel these days. Same thing happened with New Mutants last week.
So when did the 1st series stop? And what's up with Bruce these days? And will this book be headed in a different direction once the movie comes out?
Let's talk gamma radiated behemoths, shall we?

- Graettinger - Vol. 2, live at the Paradiso
Robert Frederick Graettinger (1923 - 1957) composer/arranger Until shortly Robert Graettinger was known only to a small circle of jazz enthusiasts. His composition, 'City of Glass', recorded on the initiative of Stan Kenton in 1951, evoked disconcerted responses from 'chaos' to 'this isn't jazz' to 'Wagnerian pretentiousness'. Graettinger began his career as an alto saxophonist with several lesserknown bands in California, but he soon put his sax away because, as he said to one of his friends, "I have more to say than I can express with just one instrument". He studied composition for a brief period at the Westlake School of Music in Los Angeles. At the age of eighteen, he showed one of his compositions to Stan Kenton, who encouraged him to continue. In 1947, Kenton added Graettinger's 'Thermopylae' to the band's repertoire. From that time onward, Graettinger, with Pete Rugolo and Bill Russo, was one of the staff arrangers for Kenton's orchestra, which had a reputation for being 'progressive'. Stan Kenton's name may have lost most of its luster among today's jazz aficionados; nevertheless, one of the most important achievements of his career is that he gave the youthful Robert Graettinger a chance to compose pieces, to make arrangements of standards, and to be part of the process when Kenton made recordings of avant-garde pieces with his orchestra. Pete Rugolo and Bill Russo composed big band pieces in the jazz tradition; Graettinger, in contrast, tried to incorporate developments from modern classical music into the big band idiom.

R.F. Graettinger (vol. 2)
Molshoaro (1947/48);
The Ebony Band was founded in 1990 by Werner Herbers, solo oboist of the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra. For many years he was one of the artistic directors of the Netherlands Wind Ensemble. The Ebony Band is concerned with the performance of modern, unusual, and adventurous music, primarily from the first half of this century. Attention is devoted primarily to the work of less well-known composers worthy of (re)discovery. The Ebony Band devoted several programs to German music at the time of the Weimar republic (degenerated music). A program was also given during the 1991 Holland Festival with composers who were involved in the Spanish Civil War. Other programs included Leonard Bernstein and Friends, Degenerated influences on Jazz and Unknown Russians in the Twenties. The core of the Ebony Band consists of musicians from the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra. In the 1993 Holland Festival, the Ebony Band performed music by Robert Graettinger, the legendary arranger for the Stan Kenton band; a live recording of this concert has been issued (City of Glass, CCS 6394 Channel Crossing).

Recently on the Local Show, we asked where the Garmins and the Cerners of the future would come from? We took you inside the Blue Valley School District's 12 million dollar CAPS (Center for Advanced Professional Studies) building where the next generation of engineers and life science researchers are getting a head start while still in high school.
Believe it or not, students in the CAPS program have also created dozens of businesses and products…everything from rechargeable cell phones to a prosthetic knee brace. When the Chamber of Commerce talks about making Kansas City America's most entrepreneurial city, is this where the next generation will come from?
Lead funding of KCPT'S reporting of education issues is funded in part by a generous grant from the Kauffman Foundation and additional civic funders.

We put that Nautilus pre-release to bed a few days back, and now we're back working on fleshing out all the features. Then we get to my favorite part (I admit it). Fixing all the bugs.
I like the publicity the company is getting. LinuxWorld Expo was also useful to us because it forced us to get everything together enough to put out a preview release.
I'm having a great time with all the people at Eazel and the other hackers who help out with Nautilus or just hang out on #nautilus on IRC. The free software world has a lot of the same nice things about it that I always loved (and still love) about the Macintosh software community. Nice people. Recognition for what you can do, what Andy calls the meritocracy.

A film experience
Although the film is based on history, "Red Tails" is no staid documentary. It is an action-packed experience that plunges the audience deeply into fast-paced World War II dogfights. It also draws the audience into the brotherhood of black fighter pilots facing the battle against Nazis and racism. The film gives a realistic look back at the struggle of the first Tuskegee Airmen to be recognized as capable pilots despite a long history of prejudice in America's military.
"We had an agenda of really inspiring and uplifting youth. It's one page being turned out of many in getting our stories told," Hemingway said.
Nate Parker, who plays flight leader Marty "Easy" Julian in the film, said portraying a character based on a real person made him feel a greater responsibility to give an "honest and true" performance. Parker, 32, said connecting with the experience of being a young black man in the era of Jim Crow was easier when he began to draw the parallel between the obstacles of the young men of the 1940s with those of modern times.
"The men then are the men now," Parker said. "We're still dealing with a very alive struggle."

Close game would mean drama for Packers, 49ers kickers
GREEN BAY, Wis. - The 49ers are three point favorites Saturday, so the game could come down to a field goal. If it does, there would be plenty of drama.
2012 was the worst season for six year NFL veteran Mason Crosby. He made only 64 percent of his kicks. However, Head Coach Mike McCarthy stuck with him. And after an 0-2 performance against Chicago, Crosby is five for his last five field goals, over the past three games.
"I can't speak for what all went into all the decisions, but for me, I'm thankful for the opportunity," Crosby said. "Towards the end of the season, I took advantage of it. I had two good games to finish the regular season and was solid in the first playoff game."
The 49ers did not stick with their struggling kicker. They will carry two into Saturday's game. David Akers has missed at least one field goal in five of their last six games, so San Francisco signed Billy Cundiff.
"I feel accountable to my team, my coaches, to this organization," Crosby said. "Every time I go out there, I want to make kicks. I want to compete, I'm a competitor. For me my competition is somewhat against myself."
Converting his lone field goal attempt last weekend, Crosby has now made six consecutive in the postseason going back to 2010. That streak is a Packers franchise record.18104594

More than 6.5 million people bought copies of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 in North America and the United Kingdom in the first 24 hours of its release pulling in more than $400 million, Activision said today.
That makes it one of the largest entertainment launch in history, with sales of more than $400 million. That's an impressively big number, one that approaches the biggest opening weekend for a movie of all time. That record is held by Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2. Its reported $483 million take includes the entire world and two days, not just one, so there's a very good chance that Modern Warfare 3's worldwide end up breaking that record too.
Modern Warfare 3's impressive sales topples last year's record-breaking release of Call of Duty: Black Ops, which managed to sell 5.6 million copies the day it went on sale. That means Black Ops sold $360 million worth of copies in its first 24 hours of release in North America and the U.K. That compared to the $310 million that Modern Warfare 2 pulled in two years ago by selling 4.7 million copies.
"We believe the launch of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 is the biggest entertainment launch of all time in any medium, and we achieved this record with sales from only two territories," said Bobby Kotick, CEO, Activision Blizzard, Inc. "Other than Call of Duty, there has never been another entertainment franchise that has set opening day records three years in a row. Life-to-date sales for the Call of Duty franchise exceed worldwide theatrical box office for "Star Wars" and "Lord of the Rings," two of the most successful entertainment franchises of all time."
Eric Hirshberg, CEO, Activision Publishing added, "Call of Duty is more than a game. It's become a major part of the pop cultural landscape. It is a game that core enthusiasts love, but that also consistently draws new people into the medium. It is the most intense, adrenaline pumping entertainment experience anywhere. I would like to thank our incredible teams at Infinity Ward and Sledgehammer Games for making a brilliant game. But most of all, I would like to thank our millions of passionate fans worldwide. We made this game for you."
Activision also announced today that they donated $3 million to their Call of Duty Endowment, a non-profit, public benefit corporation that seeks to provide job placement and training for veterans. This latest donation will be added to the $2 million that Activision has already donated to the Endowment, which has provided more than $1.5 million in grants and scholarships to veterans' organizations across the country since it was conceived by Bobby Kotick in November of 2009.

Hurricane News, February 23, 2011
A look at the calendar shows that February is quickly coming to an end, and daylight savings time will begin on March 13. Spring officially begins on March 20. The jonquils are beginning bloom at the old High place that enters Ty Whiskey Bottom as the long-handled well pump stands close to the old house site as well as crape myrtles. That family was one of the many from the community
that made the GTT exodus (Gone to Texas)following the Civil War. A lady at Rocky Ford showed me a table that had GTT marked on it as the Wash Norwood family left it at their home, and it was a sign to let neighbors know that they were gone and that they were welcome to the household goods left behind. By the early 1900's these families that left were established in their new homes. Trips into Indian Territory in Oklahoma are also part of the lore and legend as these settlers often ventured there for economical purposes, but would return to our community to live. A note from Donald and Doris Graham of Loraine, Texas, was enjoyed as they sent birthday greetings. They are always at the Warren-Graham Reunions. The Texans will host this year's events in late July with those from New Mexico, Oklahoma, and California attending as well.
Birthday wishes to Rayburn Williams who will celebrate his 91st on Feb. 25. He is one of those Americans that Tom Brokaw labeled as "America's greatest generation" that experienced the Great Depression and began working for the CCC as he traveled to California. Then during WWII he served in the Pacific Theater. For the past 25 years he and his wife, Bernice Corrinne(Sills)Williams have enjoyed their retirement at their Duncan Creek neighborhood home. They had lived in Aurora, Illinois, for almost 30 years prior to this. By the way, these residents always keep one of the neatest lawns in Hurricane as they tend to their gardening chores themselves.
Congratulations to Dr. John Mitchell of Pontotoc who was recently featured as doctor of the day during a Mississippi Legislative Session. Dr. John is the grandson of the late Lawrence and McHulda(Montgomery)Graham of Sand Springs.
Dot Caples enjoyed having her daughter, Regina Smith of New Orleans, home for the weekend as they attended the morning service at Hurricane Baptist on Feb. 20. Also attending was Nelda Morgan of Hernando as she came with her mom, Geraldine Burchfield.
Get well wishes to Ruby Jeaul Goggans, Charlotte Hooker, Betty Grisham, Bobbie Crouch, Irene Willianms, Tim Ross, and Rayburn Williams.
Congratulations to Briana Spears of NPAC who received a scholarship to attend ICC. She is the daughter of Mitch and Kristin Spears.
Birthday wishes to Betty Stubblefield and to Harold Jumper.
Ladies of Hurricane Baptist Church contact Mrs. Perri Brock, if you would like to attend a ladies conference at Bethel Baptist Church in Walls on April 8-9.
Sympathy is extended to the family of Inez(Todd)Robison, who at age 94, was the oldest member of Hurricane Baptist Church. Aunt Inez resided at her home at Sand Springs and was cared for by her daughters, Mary Coker, Lyn Spears and Annette Benjamin, as well as other family members during the past month as she was a patient at BMH-Oxford. She loved her community and was always on the go as she loved to travel with her girls and with her nieces. I almost forgot that she definitely loved her high heels as she could still take the stairs in them even after her 90th birthday. Every April 14, the Todds and the Robisons met at Sand Springs Church to celebrate her birthday as she enjoyed life so. Interment was at Sand Springs Cemetery on Feb. 18.
Community Yesteryears-March 21, 1941–The Senior Class presented "The Old Crab", a three-act play. Class members were as follows: James Gullick, J.C. Hearn, Lessie Kidd, Florence New, Reba Spears, Doice Whitehead, Leah Harris, James Horton, Blanche Moore, Ruth Russell, Hazel Warren, and Onice Williams.

A dress that not only is a lovely color (butter yellow) but looks very delicate.
A dress that not only is a lovely color (butter yellow) but looks very delicate.
This look from the premiere of The Help was one of my favorites on a celebrity in 2011: Purple dress, sweetheart neckline, and turquoise earrings.
Normally I don't like seeing metallics on the red carpet, but this one nails it.
This looks like something any woman could pick up in a store, and such a lovely blue.
This intricate, champagne gown from the Venice Film Festival is gorgeous.
A more casual choice, but still with the great detailing of the lace.
Giving Michelle Williams a run for her money in the bolder yellow category.
Few people can make a dress the same color as their hair actually work, but Jessica can.
Another maroonish color that goes wonderfully with her complexion--here, with Coriolanus co-star Gerard Butler.
Simple in an LBD.

Teratogenicity of lamotrigine
Sarit Shor, Gideon Koren MD FRCPC, Irena Nulman MD
June 2007
One of my female patients has epilepsy and is currently receiving lamotrigine monotherapy. She has recently found that she is 6 weeks pregnant and is concerned about possible side effects of lamotrigine on her fetus. How should I advise her and should I switch to another antiepileptic drug?
Lamotrigine (LTG) has not been associated with an increased risk for major malformations in monotherapy in most available studies. Risk of major malformations has been suggested when LTG was taken in doses higher than 200 mg/d and when clefts not caused by any known syndrome have been associated with LTG treatment. Therefore, safety for the fetus cannot yet be proven or rejected, although the drug does not appear to be a major human teratogen.
Une de mes patientes souffre d'épilepsie et suit actuellement une monothérapie à la lamotrigine. Elle vient d'apprendre qu'elle est enceinte de 6 semaines et s'inquiète des effets secondaires possibles de la lamotrigine sur le fœtus. Quels conseils devrais-je lui donner et est-ce que je devrais lui prescrire un autre médicament contre l'épilepsie?
Selon la plupart des études publiées, la lamotrigine (LTG) en monothérapie n'a pas été associée à un risque accru de malformations majeures. On a laissé entendre la possibilité de risque de malformations importantes lorsque la LTG était prise à des doses de plus de 200 mg/j et lorsque des fissures non causées par des syndromes connus ont été associées à un traitement à la LTG. Par conséquent, il n'est pas possible encore de dire si la sécurité du fœtus est menacée ou non, quoique le médicament ne semble pas être un tératogène humain important.
Epilepsy is the most common neurologic condition in the obstetric population, where women with epilepsy constitute 0.5% of all pregnancies.1,2 The goal of epilepsy treatment is seizure control using antiepileptic drugs (AEDs), despite the fact that the traditional AEDs are known teratogens. Lamotrigine (LTG) is a second-generation AED that is widely used for seizure control in epilepsy as well as in other neurologic and psychiatric disorders. It has been found to be similar in effectiveness to valproic acid.3
Between the years of 1999 and 2003, the use of LTG increased dramatically.4 However, because information on safety of LTG in human pregnancy is still limited, several pregnancy registries have been formed to monitor LTG safety in pregnancy.
Five registries and 1 large prospective study (Table 13-8) recently summarized human studies of LTG. Overall, most of the reported data did not show evidence of increased teratogenic risk, as the rates of major malformations were well within the expected baseline rates. The exception is the North American Antiepileptic Drug Pregnancy Registry,7 which assessed first-trimester LTG monotherapy exposure (n = 564). The prevalence of major malformations found among exposed infants in the first 5 days of life was 2.7% (95% confidence interval [CI], 1.5%-4.3%). Three infants (0.53%) had isolated cleft palates and 2 infants (0.35%) had isolated cleft lips, resulting in a total of 5 infants (0.89%) with oral clefts. This is an apparent higher prevalence of oral clefts than that observed in the control group (0.037%, n = 221 746). In this control group, the prevalence of isolated cleft palate was 0.016% with relative risk (RR) attributed to LTG of 32.8 (95% CI, 10.6-101.3), and the prevalence of isolated cleft lip was 0.021% with RR attributed to LTG of 17.1 (95% CI, 4.3-68.2).7 These results led to the issue of a report by GlaxoSmithKline Inc and Health Canada, warning of potential risks associated with LTG use.9 The good news is that the observed rates of cleft palate and cleft lip were still very low. Hence, while the relative risk might be high, the absolute risk is minimal. This single study will have to be confirmed by other studies, especially because no other existing registry has corroborated it.
Proper seizure control is the primary goal in treating women with epilepsy. Patients should understand the risks associated with uncontrolled seizures as well as the teratogenicity of the anticonvulsive medications in question. The benefits of treatment versus the risk of uncontrolled seizures should be discussed with each patient.
If anticonvulsants cannot be avoided, the most appropriate first-line drug for the seizure type should be used at the lowest effective dose, and monotherapy is preferable to polytherapy. In summary, the present reports do not suggest LTG to be a major human teratogen. Because only 1 study suggests increased risk of oral clefts, the finding must be corroborated before causation can be inferred.

Cynthia likes to say she inherited her love of writing from her ancestors. Her grandmother, a farmer's wife with an eighth-grade education, published anecdotes in the Reader's Digest, and once wrote a poem using only fruits and vegetables for images. "A woman cantaloupe with a man who would turnip his nose at her family." Cynthia's father never tired of finding new ways to use words and turn a phrase.
Inspired to continue the legacy, Cynthia studied English and journalism in college, and after a career as a high school English teacher, she began writing novels. She discovered ideas for stories in her search through antique stores and flea markets and as an auctioneer and estate buyer. Cynthia says every castoff item from someone's life can ignite the idea for a plot.
She writes about small towns, big hearts, and happy endings that are earned and not taken for granted. She loves the mountains though lives in Florida. And as far as the legacy is concerned, just ask her son, the magazine journalist, if he believes.
