Reviews for Cheesy Summer Squash Caserole
"This dish was so good that it was all I ate for dinner the other night. DELICIOUS !!!"
"Absolutely delicious! Made this for the first time tonight - will definitely be making it many more times!"
"Good casserole! I doubled the recipe, except for the sugar and salt, and used a heaping cup of cheese. Didn't have cornflakes, so I used butter crackers. Definitely worth a try, especially if you have an abundance of summer squash to use up!"
"Made this recipe with summer squash and zucchini. Added some minced garlic and used panko because I did not have corn flakes. I placed the onion and squash in a large measuring cup along with 2 tablespoons of water. Covered and vented it and microwaved it for 5 minutes. Drained it and patted it dry. I wanted a lighter dish so I skipped the egg. Baked it according to directions. I came out deliciously hot and bubbly. Loved it. Want to try the technique with cauliflower and maybe carrots!!!!"
"Easy and cheap to make. Several friends asked for the recipe. Added a little parmesan."
"Yum! I cut up 9 small yellow squash (approx. 5-6" long) that amounted to approx. 8 c. Used 4 eggs and 1 c. mayo. I didn't have the recipe in front of me and forgot the onion and sugar, but it was just fine without it. Approx. 1 c. of cheese. Added a couple dashes of an herb blend. Didn't have cornflakes so crushed some croutons on top. It was very good!!"
"I have been regularly making this recipe since it was first published. Many times I have quadrupled the portions and brought it to family get togethers. Everyone loves it. Best squash casserole recipe I've found. The only thing I do different is crush New York Texas Toast garlic and butter croutons for the topping."
"This was only ok. Maybe I just don't like summer squash?"
"Really good easy recipe even ate it cold!"
"We Relly enjoyed the recipe. I did use 4 small squash which was perfect for 2. Just a reminder that not all corn flakes are gluten free. I did use certified gluten free corn flakes and probably closer to 1/4 cup. I will be making this one again."

Boston hasn't had a chance to see bunraku in more than 20 years, so the National Puppet Theater of Japan's two performances last week were a treat for the fortunate few who could get tickets. Japan Society of Boston sponsored the show at the Cutler Majestic Theatre.
Puppets come in many forms. The ones we know best include marionettes on strings, hand puppets, and shadow puppets on long thin rods manipulated by a puppet master behind a screen. The audience isn't meant to see the person who's animating the dolls or the leather cutouts, and we quickly accept them as "real" humans.
Bunraku poses even more of an illusion. Each figure, half the size of a person, is propelled by three puppeteers, in full view of the audience. Two of these men are dressed in black and hooded; they move the puppet's feet and its left side. The man who works the puppet's head and right arm is unmasked. You see the puppet taking on life from him, as its head and gaze and gestures enact the story. But you also see that the puppeteer's face and body reflect what the puppet is going through, as if the puppet were giving life to him instead of the other way around. Or maybe they've become one individual for the duration of the play.
A bunraku performance is created by an almost mystical fusion of powers: the puppeteer/puppet interaction that produces character and the telepathic coordination among the three handlers, who must have acute sensitivity to one another in order to simulate one individual's movements. Besides that, the puppets don't speak through the puppeteers; their dialogue is delivered by a narrator, or chanter, who sits at the side of the stage with a shamisen accompanist.
Wednesday night's program began with a short play: Datemusume Koi No Higanoko — Hinomi Yagura No Dan. This was a sort of monologue, or possibly an excerpt from a longer play. There's a complicated backstory we don't see about love, honor, conspiracy. After telling her tale, building up her courage with doubts and hesitations, the heroine climbs a tower in order to ring the town fire bell. She's trying to save her lover by creating a distraction, but she knows her heroic deed will be punished by arrest and execution. She pulls herself up the ice-covered ladder, seemingly without assistance from her managers. At last she hauls herself over the edge into the belfry and, with the puppeteer's face looming behind her, takes a mallet and beats on the bell.
One thing I love about these puppets is the way they can do everyday things. In Tsubosaka Kannon Reigeniki, a much longer play, a housewife does some sewing as her blind husband plays the shamisen. With their tiny hands, they can pick up and fold pieces of cloth, hemstitch a garment, tweak the strings of the shamisen.

Automated Automotive Test
Engineers must create automotive test systems that can scale to avoid obsolescence and support technology updates. This approach ensures test systems that last for decades.
Smart vehicles are creating an inflection point in automated test for both the test managers and engineers challenged with ensuring the quality of these vehicles at increasingly lower costs, and the vendors who serve them. To test their smart vehicles, organizations are transitioning from the status quo of rack-and-stack box instruments and closed-architecture automated test equipment (ATE) systems to smarter test systems that scale with escalating requirements to continually shorten time to market and drive down cost. NI's approach to automated test empowers smarter test systems. With a platform built from the ground up for customization—either through the latest commercial technology or through your domain knowledge—you become part of a living, breathing, and evolving ecosystem that's already responsible for creating innovative approaches to automated test across every industry.
To test smart devices, organizations are transitioning away from rack-and-stack box instruments to a platform-based approach.
NI Cofounder Dr. James Truchard reflects on the past 40 years of test and measurement, identifies market and technology trends impacting today's test organizations, and looks forward to what lies ahead.
Continental uses the NI platform to build a custom end-of-line test system that meets their immediate test needs and can grow for future applications.

OK, so we still don't know who playing Barnabas Collins, yet. I wonder how young they'll go with the part. Both previous Barnabas actors (Jonathan Frid and Ben Cross) were middle-aged, but I'm guessing that The WB is going to go younger--early 30s at the very least, since Marley Shelton is 29. Then again, why not just get Borreanaz?Quote:

On my travels I have just managed to acquire this nice little object for my collection of Victorian Writing & Drawing Equipment:
A Sterling Silver "Louis Roederer" Champagne Bottle Pencil by S. Mordan & Co. One of the more sought after "novelty" propelling pencils. This example, yet again, by the top maker (in my opinion) of such exquisite "jewels" in the writing equipment collectors circle. The "foil" neck of the bottle is gilded, whilst apart from the enamelled "label" all is polished silver. (Unfortunately there is some age related wear to the enamel "label").
So ....condition: Fair with some wear entirely commensurate with its age (circa 1880). Weight: 16.2 grams. Length shut: 48mm. Length open: 97mm. The tip is marked "VS" for the type of lead refill (Very Soft), as laid out in Mordans' Letter Patent*. The extension action is smooth and positive.
The last picture is of genuine original Victorian (VERY rare!) lead refills that I managed to buy at the same time. (*See one of my other CW posts for the list of lead classifications)
There are many differing famous Champagne Makers being represented in these "wine bottle" silver and gold pencils, Louis Roederer is one of the more sought after.
In the main reference book (USA) on these items; "Victorian Pencils ~ Tools to Jewels" by Deborah Crosby you will find further photographic examples of the "Champagne Bottle" subject matter (on pages 102 & 103) with written references elsewhere in the book. The "Champagne Bottle Pencil" is listed as item 887 in the Sampson Mordan catalogue of 1898.
An example is presented on pages 42-43 of "Collecting Pencils" by renowned experts Sue Courtier, Jane & Jim Marshall.
Another fine example is in the seminal Collection of the late John Loring (see online), and yet another is in the V&A Museum in London
An identical pencil was in the recently auctioned Bramah Collection as:
"Lot: 1767 A VICTORIAN NOVELTY TELESCOPIC PENCIL in the form of a miniature bottle of champagne, the label enamelled "LOUIS ROEDERER REIMS...for GT.BRITAIN", suspensory ring, unmarked c.1880; 2" (5cms) high; 0.5 oz Estimate: £200.00 - £250.00 ($300 - $380)"
One of these features in the new but prohibitively expensive coffee table book "The KB Collection" written by Kenneth Bull the eminent Bond Street silver dealer who amassed his collection over decades of professional dealing, creaming off the best of the crop.................

Davidson, Donald 1893–1968
Davidson was an American poet, critic, historian, and rhetorician. One of the original founders of the Fugitive school of poetry, Davidson created a verse marked by an uncompromising loyalty to the precepts of the Southern Agrarian movement. He explicated his artistic vision in poetry whose syntax and diction is drawn from the classical and biblical tradition. Of focal concern for Davidson are the problems of religion, tradition, and the fundamental integrity of man in the modern world. (See also CLC, Vol. 2, and Contemporary Authors, Vols. 5-8, rev. ed.; obituary, Vols. 25-28, rev. ed.)
Richmond C. Beatty
The works of Mr. Davidson are of a piece and evoke a problem in every instance—the problem of belief. A man extremely fertile in ideas, he is rare among Southern authors in having been able to contemplate experience from a settled and definable point of view; he has kept his sensibility undissociated in this, perhaps the most distracted of all eras since the collapse of the Roman Empire. He has achieved this success at the cost of many repudiations, for value after value which the society of our own time has come to esteem or despairingly to accept he has submitted to searching examination. Always the examination has been made in the light of an attitude that is traditional to the author, who might be characterized...
(The entire section is 891 words.)
John Crowe Ransom
Of all the Fugitive poets who were writing and publishing verse from Nashville forty years ago, it is Donald Davidson who seems to have maintained continuity and development most steadily in his art…. It is Davidson who is most loyal to the old Southern way of life to which four of them [Tate, Ransom, Warren, and Davidson] gave allegiance in their Agrarian phase. His devotion is uncompromising; it is dangerously close to exclusive….
The title of Davidson's book [The Long Street] seems to be a key phrase to denote the culture which he is fighting. The Long Street is his image of the Southern industrial development, which was not stayed by the Agrarian agitation. (p. 202)
(The entire section is 290 words.)
Allen Tate
What Mr. Davidson may want to restore, or not restore, or to destroy or create, is not the issue raised by a reading of [The Long Street]. What, in his poems, he is concerned with is the opposition of an heroic myth to the secularization of man in our age. Looked at from this point of view, his poetry is no more concerned with the restoration of the Old South than the Aeneid is with the restoration of Troy…. There is not one poem in the book to which I cannot give entire assent; I should merely like to see more to assent to. These poems say something important about man in our time, even though they may be about a country fiddler or Mr. Davidson's patronymic ancestor, or about the mystery of time and...
(The entire section is 302 words.)
M. E. Bradford
[Davidson's] poetic achievement has been continuous and considerable. Indeed it can reasonably be argued on the basis of his … collection of verse (1961), The Long Street (Davidson's favorite metaphor for his imaginative experience of life in this century), that his finest, most impressive poetry is coming at the end of his career; and what distinguishes and gives especial value to these productions of his artistic maturity is precisely what has set him off from his poetic contemporaries since the Fugitive days and the first publication of The Tall Men (1927)—a preference for and personal possession of a traditional idiom and sense of the metaphorical potential of the familiar. These he has drawn...
(The entire section is 702 words.)
THOMAS DANIEL YOUNG and M. THOMAS INGE
Davidson's first poems were about lovers and dragons, tigers and tiger-women. This choice of subject may reveal the poet's inclination to avoid some of the unpleasant aspects of the materialistic world in which he lived and to escape into an imaginative realm where lovers, singers, and others of acute sensibilities could be shielded from the harsh realities of an unsympathetic society. (pp. 42-3)
"The Valley of the Dragon" … is typical. Filled with images of "colored flies on honeyed errands," "golden sunsets," "silver moons," "thatch so kind … against the cold and rain," and "Love's low breathing," it is a romantic tale of an idyllic love that flourished in a land where the lovers are shielded...

Thread: Petco pre-packaged plants
Petco pre-packaged plants
Okay, I had to stop in for some equipment today, and a not-my-normal Petco was closest. I decided to look at what plants they had, just to get an idea of what I could put in the tank.
Oh man, it's a good thing I wasn't looking to take anything home from the tanks! There were tiny pond snails EVERYWHERE, and I wasn't happy with their freshwater tanks, and the saltwater tanks were completely shut down.
I think that when I'm ready to plant my tank, I'm going to buy as many plants pre-packaged as possible, to cut down on unwanted snails (I'll add ones that I want, thanks).
Anyways, here's basically the selection and I'll link to pictures so as not to spam slower-loading computers. Many were in those tubes, though now they're also offering some in plastic baggies.
- Asian Waterfern (Bolbitius heteroclita)
- Tropica Fern (Java Fern, Microsorium pteropus)
- Peacock Fern (Selaginella wildenolli)
- Argentine Sword (Echinodorus argentinesis)
- Wisteria (Hygrophila difformis)
- Kyoto (Mondo grass, Ophiopogon japonicus, misspelled as O. japonica)
- Betta Plant (Cryptocoryne wendtii, "Green")
- Dwarf Hairgrass (Eleocharis parvula)
- Golden Jenny (Lysimachia nummularia)
- Moneywort (Bacopa monnieri)
- Scarlet Temple (Alternanthera reineckii)
So, while not all of those are true aquatic plants... most are. And them using an alternate name for Java Fern completely threw me off of what it was! And they had Anacharis in bunches in the tank. And the bunches hold a lot more than I would need.
And on a related note... Would dental floss be okay to tie down the Java Fern and Anubias when I get to that part?

Snails arent as big of a problem as many people seem to think. A dip in a snail killing compound will kill off all snails. This can be a weak bleach solution, aluminum sulfate and magnessum pomergrate or something like that...... Tbh i cant actually remember the exact names of the last 2. Im sure some on will chime in.
Next i personally dont like dealing with petco for plants. They seem to have horrid plants imo. The ones around here arent so bad but i explored out of the area and found crud! I wouldnt attempt much of the not fully aquatic plants...
If you use dental floss make sure its not flavored at all. Tbh im a fan of cheap fishing line, and ive had some luck with cotton twine and mosses....
Edit. Those "betta plants" are great plants hardy as sin, but being they are crypts they do melt with changes in water chem.
If you can theres a forum that has a great classified section for plants and equipment. I bought nearly all my plants from them

I wonder if i plant one of my tiger barbs would the demon seed grow to a full tree?
gotta love them bunnies!
I.R.S.: We've got what it takes to take what you've got!
The LFSes around here have about the same quality plants, and often as much r more. Petco is easy to get to, within my budget, and I wouldn't have to wait on shipping. I'm already being driven crazy waiting on substrate to be delivered.
I already have a plan 3/4 of the way set in place, detailed in another thread. All are aquatic. And I do have prior experience with Crypts. They're wonderful plants and I love them.
Honestly, I have no idea where to get fishing line around here. Okay, I know one store, but it's a store I'm boycotting. I have a thing of flavorless floss sitting right next to me1. 2. (No Picture)

Ted has a story over on the main forum that all should read - I read it every year & it always elicits fond memories past & obliterates a few Kleenex.
The community I was raised in was poor, it was the heart of the depression & FDR was doing about as well as the present POTUS in putting policies in place that put people to work. My grandparents raised me from a very young age until my grandmother passed. My grandparents were practicing Catholics so along with weekly mass, an occasional special event there was the Christmas Bazaar.
The Bazaar was a neat event for a young person. I got to talk to those who were my friends & watch the adults bid on various items. Oyster stew as milk was readily available along with oyster crackers, a couple of cans of oysters could add the necessary flavor. But the highlight of the evening was bingo, everyone played for free & the prizes, announced before each game were always donated food items. Sometimes there would be a quilt but rarely.
The priest knew of those families with a need, times were tough & a person could be needy through no fault of their own. The priest made sure those families were welcomed & if they failed to win at free bingo there was a drawing at the end of all the stuff left over which somehow managed to make sure those families did not go home empty handed. At the time I never thought of it as no one felt themselves superior to anyone else in the community. No one felt that it was unusual to help someone in need, especially if they were your neighbor or your neighbor's neighbor. & of course, those in need were not advertising that need, they did without rather than ask.
Somewhere along the way that all has changed, sadly so. Sometimes the good old days were that . Have a nice Holiday Season, may you enjoy it with your family .

By Tiernan Ray
Stifel Nicolaus networking analyst Sanjiv Wadhwani today offered up some thoughts from his road trip through Silicon Valley meeting with Aruba Networks (ARUN), Cisco Systems (CSCO), and Procera Networks (PKT), the latter two of which he rates Buy, while Aruba is a Hold.
Aruba said that wireless LAN products are getting more priority in CIO discussions at companies, in part because of the trend to "bring your own device," and Wadhwani describes the company's positioning there:
The company believes that it is likely to see an acceleration in overall WLAN demand. Second, ClearPass is a Trojan horse and is used as a product to "get a foot in the door". Currently, 25% of ClearPass sales are to non-Aruba customers. Around 80% of these customers are considering Aruba hardware. For every $1 in ClearPass sales, an additional $3 of other Aruba product sales can be sold. Management believes ClearPass is superior to Cisco's competing identity services engine (ISE) because the ISE has a very basic guest access featureandClearPass has better onboarding of devices. Overall, ClearPass has a strong pipeline, with the ability to install limiting near-term sales.
Aruba also took time to dump on competitor Meraki – "Meraki's hardware has little value-add and is not as robust in serving large numbers of users — and "mainstream" adoption of the "802.11ac" standard for short-range, broadband WiFi won't gain traction for a couple years because of its price premium, Aruba believe.
With Cisco, Wadhwani was focused on the phenomenon of "software-defined networking," which some have said could hurt traditional networking equipment sales and others have said is at this point mere hype.
"Instead of commoditizing its hardware, Cisco believes that SDNs will create more value
for Cisco's ASICs, operating systems and software-based services," writes Wadhwani.
The details of SDN, as Cisco sees it, are as follows:
Cisco's products adhere to the company's Open Programmable Environment for Networking or Cisco OPEN. Cisco OPEN is intended to open up the network with APIs at layers other than just the data and control plane. Cisco's SDN architecture harvests network intelligence from the infrastructure, delivers it to an analytics engine which then churns it into orchestration routines for policies, which are then programmed back into the network infrastructure. Cisco says this architecture will apply to all flavors of SDNs – from direct APIs between applications and the network; to controllers governing OpenFlow-enabled devices and other agents; to virtual overlays between applications and the physical and virtual network. The company believes that its strategy of providing software upgrades to its existing switches to make them "SDN ready" is the right strategy. In line with Cisco's goal of changing the charging mechanism for software, the company is likely to charge for additional licenses on hardware for certain protocols and new class of applications like traffic steering and network slicing. Cisco believes that SDNs will remain a L2-3 technology with L4-7 services likely to ride on top of the infrastructure.

Quick post because the new episode starts in about 10 minutes for me, but is anyone else watching and what do you think?
I was a big fan of the show back in the days of Tom Baker reruns here in America, and though I've only caught a few new episodes here and there since (plus that TV film thing), I've always been a fan.
So far, after having seen the first two episodes (this is Doctor #9 here on Sci-Fi) I think the show is good. Seems like typical Doctor Who.

ARSC T3D Users' Newsletter 19, January 20, 1995
ARSC T3D Upgrades
The next month or two will be a busy time for the ARSC T3D. We will be upgrading the following:
- 2MW to 8MW per PE, tentatively set for Feburary 7th and 8th
- The T3D OS, MAX 1.1 to MAX 1.2, tentatively set for January 31st
- The T3D Programming Environment (libraries, tools and compilers) P.E. 1.1 to P.E. 1.2 sometime in the next two months.
I/O to the Same File from Multiple PEsThere are two types of I/O on the T3D, Private I/O and Shared I/O. From the MPP Fortran Manual: "A private READ or WRITE statement is one that, when encountered, is executed in its entirety by the processor that encounters it. It requires no synchronization across, nor communication with, other processors. It is executed without regard for the activity of the other processors. ... ". This situation of Private I/O is why multiple PEs writing to the same file can cause problems.
But there is one case where multiple PEs can read and write to the same file with a few restrictions that is still Private I/O. This is when:
- the file is assigned for direct I/O
- the record length is a multiple of a 512-word block
- each PE can not write to the same record at the "same time"
call asnunit( iun, '-a /tmp/ess/file', ier ) open( iun, form = 'unformatted', access = 'direct', recl=LR ) write( iun, rec = i ) arraywhere LR is a multiple of 4096 and i is the number of a record in the file. The restriction, that the record length be a multiple of 4096 bytes is different from the Y-MP, where the record length is arbitrary.
Shared I/O is not supported in the current release, but it will be supported when we move to the 1.2 Programming Environment. We'll revisit these direct I/O files after ARSC upgrades to the new Programming Environment.
Next T3D Class at ARSCBelow is the announcement of the next T3D class at ARSC:
Title: Applications Programming on the CRAY T3D Dates: February 8 - 10, 1995 Time: 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM Location: University of Alaska Fairbanks main campus, room TBA Instructor: Mike Ess, Parallel Applications Specialist Course Description: To satisfy increasing computational demands, computers of the future must have multiple processors executing on the same program. The Cray T3D is a step in this direction. The Cray T3D, a MPP or Massively Parallel Processor, consists of 128 processors attached to the Cray Y-MP.
This class will cover the characterization and history of MPPs. With this background the students will experience how the T3D approaches the problem of executing a program in parallel. The class will cover the three programming paradigms for extracting parallelism:
- Data-sharing, as with Fortran 90
- Work-sharing, as with Craft Fortran and
- Message-passing as implemented with PVM or shmem
- Performance measurement and tools
- Debugging techniques and tools

Therapeutic healing
By Stephanie Hagan, Special to the Citizen 04/28/2017 Features
In a room labeled the garden room, a bright space with lavender-colored walls and pebble-gray chairs, art therapist Becky Jacobson might ask her patients to imagine a safe place, but she doesn't ask them to describe it to her — she wants them to draw it.
The patients are free to draw whatever they envision, expressing themselves through their colored markers, a form of healing through art therapy.
"Some people might not feel safe anywhere because they have had hard things happening to them, and I have the background to help that person reground and feel safe in the group," Jacobson said. > Read more.

BONAPARTE BLENKINS was riding home on the grey mare. He had ridden out that afternoon, partly for the benefit of his health, partly to maintain his character as overseer of the farm. As he rode on slowly, he thoughtfully touched the ears of the grey mare with his whip.
"No, Bon, my boy," he addressed himself, "don't propose! You can't marry for four years, then why propose? Wheedle her, tweedle her, teedle her, but don't let her make sure of you. When a woman," said Bonaparte, sagely resting his finger against the side of his nose, "when a woman is sure of you she does what she likes with you; but when she isn't, you do what you like with her. And I—" said Bonaparte.page: 196
Here he drew the horse up suddenly and looked. He was now close to the house, and leaning over the pigsty wall, in company with Em, who was showing her the pigs, was a strange female figure. It was the first visitor that had appeared on the farm since his arrival, and he looked at her with interest. She was a tall, pudgy girl of fifteen, weighing a hundred and fifty pounds, with baggy pendulous cheeks and up-turned nose. She strikingly resembled Tant' Sannie in form and feature, but her sleepy good eyes lacked that twinkle that dwelt in the Boer-woman's small orbs. She was attired in a bright green print, wore brass rings in her ears and glass beads round her neck, and was sucking the tip of her large finger as she looked at the pigs.
"Who is it that has come?" asked Bonaparte, when he stood drinking his coffee in the front room.
"Why, my niece, to be sure," said Tant' page: 197 Sannie, the Hottentot maid translating. "She's the only daughter of my only brother Paul, and she's come to visit me. She'll be a nice mouthful to the man that can get her," added Tant' Sannie. "Her father's got two thousand pounds in the green waggon box under his bed, and a farm, and five thousand sheep, and God Almighty knows how many goats and horses. They milk ten cows in mid winter, and the young men are after her like flies about a bowl of milk. She says she means to get married in about four months, but she doesn't yet know to whom. It was so with me when I was young," said Tant' Sannie. "I've sat up with the young men four and five nights a week. And they will come riding again as soon as ever they know that the time's up that the Englishman made me agree not to marry in."
The Boer-woman smirked complacently.
"Where are you going to?" asked Tant' Sannie presently, seeing that Bonaparte rose.page: 198
"Ha! I'm just going to the kraals; I'll be in to supper," said Bonaparte.
Nevertheless, when he reached his own door he stopped and turned in there. Soon after he stood before the little glass, arrayed in his best white shirt with the little tucks, and shaving himself. He had on his very best trousers, and had heavily oiled the little fringe at the back of his head, which, however, refused to become darker. But what distressed him most was his nose—it was very red. He rubbed his finger and thumb on the wall, and put a little whitewash on it; but, finding it rather made matters worse, he rubbed it off again. Then he looked carefully into his own eyes. They certainly were a little pulled down at the outer corners, which gave them the appearance of looking cross-wise; but then they were a nice blue. So he put on his best coat, took up his stick, and went out to supper, feeling on the whole well satisfied.
"Aunt," said Trana to Tant' Sannie when page: 199 that night they lay together in the great wooden bed, "why does the Englishman sigh so when he looks at me?"
"Ha!" said Tant' Sannie, who was half asleep, but suddenly started, wide awake. "It's because he thinks you look like me. I tell you, Trana," said Tant' Sannie, "the man is mad with love of me. I told him the other night I couldn't marry till Em was sixteen, or I'd lose all the sheep her father left me. And he talked about Jacob working seven years and seven years again for his wife. And of course he meant me," said Tant' Sannie pompously. "But he won't get me so easily as he thinks; he'll have to ask more than once."
"Oh!" said Trana, who was a lumpish girl and not much given to talking; but presently she added, "Aunt, why does the Englishman always knock against you when he passes you?"
"That's because you are always in the way," said Tant' Sannie.page: 200
"But, aunt, said Trana, presently, "I think he is very ugly."
"Phugh!" said Tant' Sannie. It's only because we're not accustomed to such noses in this country. In his country he says all the people have such noses, and the redder your nose is the higher you are. He's of the family of the Queen, Victoria, you know," said Tant' Sannie, wakening up with her subject; "and he doesn't think anything of governors and Church elders, and such people; they are nothing to him. When his aunt with the dropsy dies he'll have money enough to buy all the farms in this district!"
"Oh!" said Trana. That certainly made a difference.
"Yes," said Tant' Sannie; "and he's only forty-one, though you'd take him to be sixty. And he told me last night the real reason of his baldness."
Tant' Sannie then proceeded to relate how, at page: 201 eighteen years of age, Bonaparte had courted a fair young lady. How a deadly rival, jealous of his verdant locks, his golden flowing hair, had, with a damnable and insinuating deception, made him a present of a pot of pomatum. How applying it in the evening, on rising in the morning he found his pillow strewn with the golden locks, and, looking into the glass, beheld the shining and smooth expanse which henceforth he must bear. The few remaining hairs were turned to a silvery whiteness, and the young lady married his rival.
"And," said Tant' Sannie solemnly, "if it had not been for the grace of God, and reading of the psalms, he says he would have killed himself. He says he could kill himself quite easily if he wants to marry a woman and she won't."
"All the world!" said Trana: and then they went to sleep.
Every one was lost in sleep soon; but from the window of the cabin the light streamed page: 202 forth. It came from a dung fire, over which Waldo sat brooding. Hour after hour he sat there, now and again throwing a fresh lump of fuel on to the fire, which burnt up bravely, and then sank into a great bed of red coals, which reflected themselves in the boy's eyes as he sat there brooding, brooding, brooding. At last, when the fire was blazing at its brightest, he rose suddenly and walked slowly to a beam from which an ox " riem reim " hung. Loosening it, he ran a noose in one end and then doubled it round his arm.
"Mine, mine! I have a right," he muttered; and then something louder, "if I fall and am killed, so much the better!"
He opened the door and went out into the starlight.
He walked with his eyes bent upon the ground, but over-head it was one of those brilliant southern nights when every space so small that your hand might cover it shows fifty cold white points, and the milky-way is a belt of sharp page: 203 frosted silver. He passed the door where Bonaparte lay dreaming of Trana and her wealth, and he mounted the ladder steps. From those he clambered with some difficulty on to the roof of the house. It was of old rotten thatch with a ridge of white plaster, and it crumbled away under his feet at every step. He trod as heavily as he could. So much the better if he fell!
He knelt down when he got to the far gable, and began to fasten his " riem reim " to the crumbling bricks. Below was the little window of the loft. With one end of the " riem reim " tied round the gable, the other end round his waist, how easy to slide down to it, and to open it, through one of the broken panes, and to go in, and to fill his arms with books, and to clamber up again! They had burnt one book—he would have twenty. Every man's hand was against his—his should be against every man's. No one would help him—he would help himself.
He lifted the black damp hair from his knit page: 204 forehead, and looked round to cool his hot face. Then he saw what a regal night it was. He knelt silently and looked up. A thousand eyes were looking down at him, bright and so cold. There was a laughing irony in them.
"So hot, so bitter, so angry? Poor little mortal!"
He was ashamed. He folded his arms, and sat on the ridge of the roof looking up at them.
"So hot, so bitter, so angry?"
It was as though a cold hand had been laid upon his throbbing forehead, and slowly they began to fade and grow dim. Tant' Sannie and the burnt book, Bonaparte and the broken machine, the box in the loft, he himself sitting there—how small they all became! Even the grave over yonder. Those stars that shone on up above so quietly, they had seen a thousand such little existences fight just so fiercely, flare up just so page: 205 brightly, and go out; and they, the old, old stars, shone on forever.
"So hot, so angry, poor little soul?" they said.
The " riem reim " slipped from his fingers; he sat with his arms folded, looking up.
"We," said the stars, "have seen the earth when it was young. We have seen small things creep out upon its surface—small things that prayed and loved and cried very loudly, and then crept under it again. But we," said the stars, "are as old as the Unknown."
He leaned his chin against the palm of his hand and looked up at them. So long he sat there that bright stars set and new ones rose, and yet he sat on.
Then at last he stood up, and began to loosen the " riem reim " from the gable.
What did it matter about the books? The lust and the desire for them had died out. If they pleased to keep them from him they might. page: 206 What matter? it was a very little thing. Why hate, and struggle, and fight? Let it be as it would.
He twisted the " riem reim " round his arm and walked back along the ridge of the house.
By this time Bonaparte Blenkins had finished his dream of Trana, and as he turned himself round for a fresh doze he heard the steps descending the ladder. His first impulse was to draw the blanket over his head and his legs under him, and to howl; but recollecting that the door was locked and the window carefully bolted, he allowed his head slowly to crop out among the blankets, and listened intently. Whosoever it might be, there was no danger of their getting at him; so he clambered out of bed, and going on tiptoe to the door, applied his eye to the keyhole. There was nothing to be seen; so walking to the window, he brought his face as close to the glass as his nose would allow. There was a figure just discernible. The lad page: 207 was not trying to walk softly, and the heavy shuffling of the well-known "vel-schoens" could be clearly heard through the closed window as they crossed the stones in the yard. Bonaparte listened till they had died away round the corner of the waggon-house; and, feeling that his bare legs were getting cold, he jumped back into bed again.
* * * * *
"What do you keep up in your loft?" inquired Bonaparte of the Boer-woman the next evening, pointing upwards and elucidating his meaning by the addition of such Dutch words as he knew, for the lean Hottentot was gone home.
"Dried skins," said the Boer-woman, "and empty bottles, and boxes, and sacks, and soap."
"You don't keep any of your provisions there—sugar, now?" said Bonaparte, pointing to the sugar-basin and then up at the loft.
Tant' Sannie shook her head.page: 208
"Only salt, and dried peaches."
"Dried peaches! Eh?" said Bonaparte. "Shut the door, my dear child, shut it tight," he called out to Em, who stood in the dining-room. Then he leaned over the elbow of the sofa and brought his face as close as possible to the Boer-woman's, and made signs of eating. Then he said something she did not comprehend; then said, "Waldo, Waldo, Waldo," pointed up to the loft, and made signs of eating again.
Now an inkling of his meaning dawned on the Boer-woman's mind. To make it clearer, he moved his legs after the manner of one going up a ladder, appeared to be opening a door, masticated vigorously, said, "Peaches, peaches, peaches," and appeared to be coming down the ladder.
It was now evident to Tant' Sannie that Waldo had been in her loft and eaten her peaches.
To exemplify his own share in the proceedings, page: 209 Bonaparte lay down on the sofa, and shutting his eyes tightly, said, "Night, night, night!" Then he sat up wildly, appearing to be intently listening, mimicked with his feet the coming down a ladder, and looked at Tant' Sannie. This clearly showed how, roused in the night, he had discovered the theft.
"He must have been a great fool to eat my peaches," said Tant' Sannie. "They are full of mites as a sheepskin, and as hard as stones."
Bonaparte, fumbling in his pocket, did not even hear her remark, and took out from his coat-tail a little horsewhip, nicely rolled up. Bonaparte winked at the little rhinoceros horsewhip, at the Boer-woman, and then at the door.
"Shall we call him—Waldo, Waldo?" he said.
Tant' Sannie nodded, and giggled. There was something so exceedingly humorous in the idea that he was going to beat the boy, though for her own part she did not see that the peaches page: 210 were worth it. When the Kaffir maid came with the wash-tub she was sent to summon Waldo; and Bonaparte doubled up the little whip and put it in his pocket. Then he drew himself up, and prepared to act his important part with becoming gravity. Soon Waldo stood in the door, and took off his hat.
"Come in, come in, my lad," said Bonaparte, "and shut the door behind."
The boy came in and stood before them.
"You need not be so afraid, child," said Tant' Sannie. "I was a child myself once. It's no great harm if you have taken a few."
Bonaparte perceived that her remark was not in keeping with the nature of the proceedings, and of the little drama he intended to act. Pursing out his lips, and waving his hand, he solemnly addressed the boy.
"Waldo, it grieves me beyond expression to have to summon you for so painful a purpose; but it is at the imperative call of duty, which I page: 211 dare not evade. I do not state that frank and unreserved confession will obviate the necessity of chastisement, which if requisite shall be fully administered; but the nature of that chastisement may be mitigated by free and humble confession. Waldo, answer me as you would your own father, in whose place I now stand to you; have you, or have you not, did you, or did you not, eat of the peaches in the loft?"
"Say you took them, boy, say you took them, then he won't beat you so much," said the Dutch-woman, good-naturedly, getting a little sorry for him.
The boy raised his eyes slowly and fixed them vacantly upon her, then suddenly his face grew dark with blood.
"So, you haven't got anything to say to us, my lad?" said Bonaparte, momentarily forgetting his dignity, and bending forward with a little snarl. "But what I mean is just this, my lad—when it takes a boy three-quarters of an page: 212 hour to fill a salt-pot, and when at three o'clock in the morning he goes knocking about the doors of a loft, it's natural to suppose there's mischief in it. It's certain there is mischief in it; and where there's mischief in it must be taken out," said Bonaparte, grinning into the boy's face. Then, feeling that he had fallen from that high gravity which was as spice to the pudding, and the flavour of the whole little tragedy, he drew himself up. "Waldo," he said, "confess to me instantly, and without reserve, that you ate the peaches."
The boy's face was white now. His eyes were on the ground, his hands doggedly clasped before him.
"What, do you not intend to answer?"
The boy looked up at them once from under his bent eyebrows, and then looked down again.
"The creature looks as if all the devils in hell were in it," cried Tant' Sannie. "Say you took them, boy. Young things will be young things, page: 213 I was older than you when I used to eat 'bultong' in my mother's loft, and get the little niggers whipped for it. Say you took them."
But the boy said nothing.
"I think a little solitary confinement might perhaps be beneficial," said Bonaparte. "It will enable you, Waldo, to reflect on the enormity of the sin you have committed against our Father in heaven. And you may also think of the submission you owe to those who are older and wiser than you are, and whose duty it is to check and correct you."
Saying this, Bonaparte stood up and took down the key of the fuel-house, which hung on a nail against the wall.
"Walk on, my boy," said Bonaparte, pointing to the door; and as he followed him out he drew his mouth expressively on one side, and made the lash of the little horsewhip stick out of his pocket and shake up and down.
Tant' Sannie felt half sorry for the lad; but page: 214 she could not help laughing, it was always so funny when one was going to have a whipping, and it would do him good. Anyhow, he would forget all about it when the places were healed.
Bonaparte took up a lighted candle that had been left burning on the kitchen table, and told the boy to walk before him. They went to the fuel-house. It was a little stone erection that jutted out from the side of the waggon-house. It was low, and without a window; and the dried dung was piled in one corner, and the coffee-mill stood in another, fastened on the top of a post. Bonaparte took the padlock off the rough door.
"Walk in, my lad," he said.
Waldo obeyed sullenly; one place to him was much the same as another. He had no objection to being locked up.
Bonaparte followed him in, and closed the door carefully. He put the light down on the heap of dung in the corner, and quietly intro- introduced page: 215 duced his hand under his coat-tails, and drew slowly from his pocket the end of a rope, which he concealed behind him.
"I'm very sorry, exceedingly sorry, Waldo, my lad, that you should have acted in this manner. It grieves me," said Bonaparte.
He moved round toward the boy's back. He hardly liked the look in the fellow's eyes, though he stood there motionless. If he should spring on him!
So he drew the rope out very carefully, and shifted round to the wooden post. There was a slip-knot in one end of the rope, and a sudden movement drew the boy's hands to his back and passed it round them. It was an instant's work to drag it twice round the wooden post: then Bonaparte was safe.
For a moment the boy struggled to free himself; then he knew that he was powerless, and stood still.
"Horses that kick must have their legs tied," page: 216 said Bonaparte, as he passed the other end of the rope round the boy's knees. "And now, my dear Waldo," taking the whip out of his pocket, "I am going to beat you."
He paused for a moment. It was perfectly quiet; they could hear each other's breath.
"'Chasten thy son while there is hope,'" said Bonaparte, "'and let not thy soul spare for his crying.' Those are God's words. I shall act as a father to you, Waldo. I think we had better have your naked back."
He took out his pen-knife, and slit the shirt down from the shoulder to the waist.
"Now," said Bonaparte, "I hope the Lord will bless and sanctify to you what I am going to do to you."
The first cut ran from the shoulder across the middle of the back; the second fell exactly in the same place. A shudder passed through the boy's frame.
"Nice, eh?" said Bonaparte, peeping round page: 217 into his face, speaking with a lisp, as though to a very little child. "Nith, eh?"
But the eyes were black and lustreless, and seemed not to see him. When he had given sixteen Bonaparte paused in his work to wipe a little drop of blood from his whip.
"Cold, eh? What makes you shiver so? Perhaps you would like to pull up your shirt? But I've not quite done yet."
When he had finished he wiped the whip again, and put it back in his pocket. He cut the rope through with his pen-knife, and then took up the light.
"You don't seem to have found your tongue yet. Forgotten how to cry?" said Bonaparte, patting him on the cheek.
The boy looked up at him—not sullenly, not angrily. There was only a wild, fitful terror in the eyes. Bonaparte made haste to go out and shut the door, and leave him alone in the darkness. He himself was afraid.page: 218
* * * * * *
It was almost morning. Waldo lay with his face upon the ground at the foot of the fuel-heap. There was a round hole near the top of the door, where a knot of wood had fallen out, and a stream of grey light came in through it.
Ah, it was going to end at last. Nothing lasts forever, not even the night. How was it he had never thought of that before? For in all that long dark night he had been very strong, had never been tired, never felt pain, had run on and on, up and down, up and down; he had not dared to stand still, and he had not known it would end. He had been so strong, that when he struck his head with all his force upon the stone wall it did not stun him nor pain him—only made him laugh. That was a dreadful night. When he clasped his hands frantically and prayed—"O God, my beautiful God, my sweet God, once, only once, let me feel you near me to-night!" he could not feel Him. He page: 219 prayed aloud, very loud, and he got no answer; when he listened it was all quite quiet—like when the priests of Baal cried aloud to their god—"Oh, Baal, hear us! Oh, Baal, hear us!" But Baal was gone a-hunting.
That was a long wild night, and wild thoughts came and went in it; but they left their marks behind them forever: for as years cannot pass without leaving their traces behind them, neither can nights into which are forced the thoughts and sufferings of years. And now the dawn was coming, and at last he was very tired. He shivered, and tried to draw the shirt up over his shoulders. They were getting stiff now. He had never known they were cut in the night. He looked up at the white light that came in through the hole at the top of the door and shuddered. Then he turned his face back to the ground, and slept again.
Some hours later Bonaparte came toward the fuel-house with a lump of bread in his hand. page: 220 He opened the door and peered in; then entered, and touched the fellow with his boot. Seeing that he breathed heavily, though he did not rouse, Bonaparte threw the bread down on the ground. He was alive, that was one thing. He bent over him, and carefully scratched open one of the cuts with the nail of his forefinger, examining with much interest his last night's work. He would have to count his sheep himself that day; the boy was literally cut up. He locked the door and went away again.
"Oh, Lyndall," said Em, entering the dining room, and bathed in tears, that afternoon, "I have been begging Bonaparte to let him out, and he won't."
"The more you beg the more he will not," said Lyndall.
She was cutting out aprons on the table.
"Oh, but it's late, and I think they want to kill him," said Em, weeping bitterly; and finding that no more consolation was to be page: 221 gained from her cousin, she went off blubbering—"I wonder you can cut out aprons when Waldo is shut up like that."
For ten minutes after she was gone Lyndall worked on quietly; then she folded up her stuff, rolled it tightly together, and stood before the closed door of the sitting room with her hands closely clasped. A flush rose to her face: she opened the door quickly, and walking in, went to the nail on which the key of the fuel-room hung. Bonaparte and Tant' Sannie sat there and saw her.
"What do you want?" they asked together.
"This key," she said, holding it up, and looking at them.
"Do you mean her to have it?" said Tant' Sannie in Dutch.
"Why don't you stop her?" asked Bonaparte in English.
"Why don't you take it from her?" said Tant' Sannie.page: 222
So they looked at each other, talking, while Lyndall walked to the fuel-house with the key, her underlip bitten in.
"Waldo," she said, as she helped him to stand up, and twisted his arm about her waist to support him, "we will not be children always; we shall have the power too some day." She kissed his naked shoulder with her soft little mouth. It was all the comfort her young soul could give him.

Patrick Kelly '69, president of the California State Bar, will deliver keynote address during Loyola's 92nd-Annual Commencement Ceremony on Sunday, May 19, 2013.
For Alumnus Patrick Kelly '69, Public Service Takes Center Stage
Patrick Kelly feels strongly enough about giving back through legal service that he was willing to forego a life playing guitar for well-known musical groups to pursue it. Instead, he made public service a through line of his long legal career and a campaign platform in his recent successful run for president of the California State Bar.
Kelly, who was a professional musician before enrolling at Loyola, still calls members of the Beach Boys friends and plays occasionally with the band. But his primary passion remains the law. As senior managing partner and director of litigation at Wilson, Elser, Moskowitz, Edelman & Dicker LLP, he handles some of the firm's biggest cases, focusing on defending corporate officers and directors, insurance companies in bad-faith litigation, ski resorts in liability lawsuits, lawyers and accountants.
Serving the public was not always at the forefront of Kelly's mind. "When I got out of law school my goal was to do one thing: win cases. Period. The end. There was no other agenda," he said. But strong mentors transformed his thinking. "They taught me another agenda: community service, equal opportunity, professional excellence, access to justice for all of our citizens. They taught me that there is more to it than just winning cases."
While Kelly loves the art of courtroom battle, this member of the International Academy of Trial Lawyers finds greater satisfaction in the cases he keeps from reaching the courtroom. And he plans to use his leadership position to encourage more attorneys to resolve cases through negotiation instead of litigation. "A lot of cases end up taking clients' money and making them mad at each other by walking the long litigation road when the better public service would have been to try and help the people come together at the outset."
Kelly has served on a laundry list of boards and task forces aimed at helping attorneys and those they aim to serve. A past president of the Los Angeles County Bar Association, he was chair of the committee that founded the organization's magazine, the Los Angeles Lawyer. He served as a member of the board of trustees of the California State Bar and was on the founding editorial board of the California Lawyer. He also served on the board of directors of the Legal Aid Foundation of Los Angeles, among many others.
Kelly entered Loyola with his sights set on entertainment law. But he chose a different path upon graduation, becoming a lawyer for the Southern Pacific Railroad. "I had a lot of offers," he said. "I picked the one that would give me the most trial experience the quickest." Later, Kelly teamed up with Loyola classmate and friend Larry Feldman '69 at a Los Angeles plaintiffs' firm. He found defense firms a better fit and moved on a few years later. But he savors the lessons he learned from representing clients on both sides of the aisle. "I have this philosophy that people should be treated fairly," he said. "I will always insist that my clients offer what I in my heart believe is fair in a given case."
In the years since he graduated, Kelly has retained strong connections to the Law School, where he served on the Alumni Association Board of Governors from 1974-1980 and earned the Distinguished Alumni Award in 2010. He sits on the board of the Law School's Advocacy Institute, a center that emphasizes practical skills-training initiatives such as the Semester-in-Practice program and the Civil Litigation & Advocacy Concentration.
"I think the gift Loyola gives to its students is the ability to go to a first-rate intellectual law school while at the same time gaining practical experience and guidance at the very highest level," he said. "I think Loyola is the best law school around for that very reason."
Kelly is a firm believer in practice—a philosophy he honed while working in music. "It teaches you preparation," he said. "You can't play a good song unless you prepare for it and practice. The Beach Boys' harmonies? They worked for hours to get them right."

Power Outage Affects Area
Posted By News On @ 6:30 am In Today's Local News | Comments Disabled
A power outage affected parts of the KCII listening area yesterday morning. According to Alliant Energy spokesman Justin Foss, routine work was being performed by crews at a sub station when a piece of equipment failed.
During the height of the outage, just under 2000 customers were without power in portions of Washington County including the western part of Washington, plus the cities of Keota, Richland and Richmond.
KCII was able to stay on the air with the use of emergency backup generators. The initial outage occurred around 8:50 and power was restored in about half an hour.

What Programming Language For Linux Development? 997
k33l0r writes "Recently I've been thinking about developing (or learning to develop) for Linux. I'm an IT university student but my degree program focuses almost exclusively on Microsoft tools (Visual Studio, C#, ASP.NET, etc.) which is why I would like to expand my repertoire on my own. Personally I'm quite comfortable in a Linux environment, but have never programmed for it. Over the years I've developed a healthy fear of everything Java and I'm not too sure of what I think of Python's use of indentation to delimit blocks. The question that remains is: what language and tools should I be using?"

Radiator/cooling system hoses are an important part of your car's cooling system, which is designed to keep the engine from overheating. When your car's engine is running it creates heat. The radiator/cooling system hoses carry coolant through the radiator and back through the engine to keep it operating at an optimal temperature. There are mulitple hoses in a given system. An upper hose connects the top of the radiator to the top of the engine. A lower hose connects the bottom of the radiator to the water pump of the engine, which keeps coolant flowing through the system.

John Lavery (Irish, 1856-1941)
The Artist's Studio: Lady Hazel Lavery with her Daughter Alice and Stepdaughter Eileen, 1909-1913
Oil on canvas, 344 x 274 cmPurchased, 1959NGI.1644
Born in Belfast and trained in Glasgow, London and Paris, John Lavery settled in London, where he established himself as a celebrated portraitist. His sitters included leading figures of international society, as well as British royalty. This impressively large portrait depicts the artist's wife Hazel, her daughter Alice from her first marriage, and his daughter, Eileen.
The painting was begun in his London studio in 1909. Hazel Lavery is fashionably dressed in a feathered turban and richly coloured silk and satin Paisley coat. Alice is seated in a basket chair, while Eileen leans gracefully across the grand piano. The family dog, Rodney Stone, lies at the feet of the two girls. In the background Aisha, their maid, is seen entering the room bearing a salver of fruits. Also visible in the portrait is the artist himself. Reflected in a mirror, his palette and brush clearly visible, Lavery paints himself studying the group of figures he is portraying.The painting is striking for its sense of immence space, the modelling of the figures in light and shade, the fluid handling of paint and its eye-catching colourful passages.
The composition is based on Las Meninas by Velasquez, a painter much admired by Lavery. The grouping of the figures in the foreground, the reflection of the artist in the distant mirror, the position of the dog and, above all, the scale of the interior, recall Velasquez's famous painting of 1656.
Researching John Lavery at the National Gallery of Ireland
Sir John Lavery (1856-1941)
Lavery was influenced by the Rustic Naturalism developed by the French painter Jules Bastien-Lepage (1848-1884).

Finally I have some time to work on the FrameMaker::Mif project again. To paraphrase Spock, I am trying to build a LL(1) parser with stone knives and bearskins.
- The first time I tried writing the MIF parser, I used the Parse::RecDescent module. Unfortunately, when I encountered bugs -- I don't know whether they were my bugs or the module author's -- I had trouble debugging it, because the data structures that Parse::RecDescent produces are large, hairy, and contain code references (which Data::Dumper doesn't print out).
- Then I wrote a yacc grammar and used the -P (if memory serves) switch on byacc to generate a y.tab.pl file. I got a bare-bones module working with that technique, but now I want to change the data structure that the parser generates, and since I am a Prisoner of Bill here, schlepping files to and from a Unix account every time I want to tweak the grammar is not my idea of a good time.
- Then I thought, aha, Perl now ships with all these funky XML modules -- I can just translate the MIF file into an XML-syntax file that has exactly the same abstract structure, and use the XML modules to read the file back in and play with it. This is beginning to look like more trouble than it's worth.
- So, I've been boning up on the Tiger Book, writing up grammars, and then working out the FIRST and FOLLOW sets. Eleven terminals, ten nonterminals, nineteen productions, nothing but paper 'n ink. (I oughtta be a good boy and write a script to check my math before I actually implement this thing, right?) If I code this and it works, then I'll probably just download Parse::RecDescent again and use it. If it doesn't work, at least I'll have a better chance of knowing why....

Oh I know what you mean, the heat here in San Antonio has been miserable and the everything is crunchy and dead. I need a project to get me out of this funk that I am in. I do NOT want to go out and I have no energy to do anything. Bring on the cool weather!!! :) Love the fabric, I need some new fabric maybe that will make me happy.
