Touching Post-Match Moment Caps U.S. U-17 WNT Victory Against Haiti in Opening Match of CONCACAF Qualifying
- Horan Scores Four Goals and Records Two Assists, Smith Gets Two Goals
- Touching Moment After the Final Whistle as U.S. Embraces Haitian Player

ALAJUELA, Costa Rica (March 10, 2010) – The U.S. Under-17 Women's National Team opened the CONCACAF U-17 Women's Championships with a 9-0 victory against Haiti as forward Lindsey Horan led the team with four goals and two assists.
While the USA scored several artistic goals, the most amazing moment from the game came after the final whistle as Haitian goalkeeper Alexandra Coby slumped to the turf in tears. Her coach helped her to her feet, and while still sobbing, she saw U.S. goalkeeper Bryane Heaberlin walking toward her. Coby embraced Heaberlin in a tight hug and held on. What followed was a rare sight in sports and an emotional and memorable moment for the young Americans players.
All the U.S. players surrounded Coby and Heaberlin in a huge group hug that lasted at least 90 seconds. When it broke up, the entire U.S. team left the field in tears.
"I saw her crying and that was pretty hard for me to see," said Heaberlin. "She's a 'keeper and we have that bond. I knew that she had probably lost people close to her, and when she goes home she might not have anywhere to go. I gave her a big hug and told her she did great. She came to compete in this tournament despite all that she's been through and I have tremendous respect for her."
"It just put everything into perspective," said U.S. defender Olivia Brannon, who played the 90 minutes at right back. "It makes you realize what is truly important, your family, having a roof over your head, and having food on the table. We take all those things for granted. I had my mom in the stands cheering for me tonight. Some of these girls might never have that again."
Haiti's participation in the tournament despite the tragic earthquake has been an inspiration to all the teams in the competition. To donate to the continued relief efforts in Haiti, please visit the American Red Cross web site. While the Haitians showed tremendous fight, the U.S. players were just too strong and fast for the their Caribbean counterparts.
The USA's first attack of the match yielded the first goal just 92 seconds into the match. Horan burst into the right side of the penalty box with a nifty dribble and then laid ball back across the six yard line. Flank midfielder Alex Doll then pounded the bouncing ball into the roof of the net.
The USA doubled the lead in the 13th minute after midfielder Cari Roccaro sent a long service into the penalty area from the right wing where it was collected well by Morgan Brian inside the penalty area. Brian froze several defenders with a fake before laying a pass straight back to Taylor Smith and the speedy U.S. striker side-footed her shot into the right corner from 14 yards out.
Goal number three came three minutes later after a slithering dribbling run down the right side by Brian. She played Horan through, who beat another defender to make room for a cross, which she swung perfectly to the far post. Roccaro, the USA's youngest player at 15, was making a hard run and pounded a header into the net from just inside the six yard box.
Almost the entire match was played inside Haiti's defensive half, with the U.S. team possessing the ball quickly and playing rhythmical soccer through and around a packed defensive third.
The fourth U.S. goal came in the 31st minute after a nice dribble by Horan into the right side of the penalty area. She fed Kaysie Clark even deeper in to the box and she took the ball right to the end line before hitting a hard cross on the ground through the goal mouth. Smith was unmarked at the far post and tapped the ball in from a yard out for her second goal of the game.
Brian, who hit the crossbar in the seventh and 18th minutes, found the net on a fantastic strike from distance just six minutes into the second half. The skillful midfielder who was the crux of the U.S. attack all game, received a quick free kick from Clarissa Wedemeyer in center of field. Brian beat a player on a dribble and then smashed her shot from 23 yards out into the right corner of the net. It was the only goal the USA scored from outside the penalty area during the game.
Horan had failed to convert on numerous chances in front of the net heading into the final 34 minutes of the match, but more than made up for it by scoring the last four goals.
Her first goal came in the 56th minute as she and Smith played a beautiful wall-pass in the air with their heads that ended with Horan looping a header over the Coby and into the net.
The seventh goal came off a Kaili Torres corner kick from the right from side. Center back Abby Dahlkemper rose to get her head on the cross, but it skimmed off her head to the far post. The 5-feet-9-inch Horan trapped it into the air off her thigh and then headed a looping a shot over Coby, off a Haitian defender's head and into the roof of the net.
Haiti's lone shot on goal came from a free kick in the 74th minute, but that was easily saved by Heaberlin.
Horan scored twice in the final four minutes, the first coming off a penalty kick after she was taken down in the right side of the penalty in the 87th minute. Horan stepped up to take it herself and earned her hat trick by burying her shot low into the left corner to make it 8-0.
The last goal came in stoppage time as Isabel Farrell crossed from the left wing and the Haitians failed to clear the bouncing ball. It rolled to Horan who fired point blank at Coby. The Haitian goalkeeper got both hands on the ball, but couldn't hold it and it trickled over the goal line to make it 9-0.
The USA sits atop Group A as Costa Rica defeated the Cayman Islands, 7-0, in the second group match of the evening. The USA is playing for a berth to the 2010 FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup. The two semifinal winners will qualify for that tournament being held in Trinidad & Tobago in September.
The USA's next Group A game is against the Cayman Islands on March 12, a match that can be seen live at 6 p.m. ET via a video web stream on CONCACAF.com and on tape-delayed basis on Fox Soccer Channel at 8 p.m. ET. The USA will finish group play against Costa Rica on March 14 in a match that will also be streamed live on CONCACAF.com at 9:30 p.m. ET and shown tape-delayed on FSC on March 15 at 3 p.m. ET.

Both the horror and the hope engendered by natural catastrophes were on display here Wednesday in one of the towns worst hit by the earthquake that has claimed at least 15,000 lives in the southwestern Chinese province of Sichuan.
The horror lies not just in the death toll, though that is rising by the day.
It lies, rather, in the despair in Liu Ping's dark eyes as he wheels the body of his only son up the main street of this devastated town on Wednesday afternoon.
The hope emerged in a wave of community solidarity that has flooded Hanwang with volunteer relief workers eager to alleviate the suffering.
The awfulness lies, too, in the manner in which a woman, who identifies herself only as Mrs. Wu, chips with a small iron bar at the huge pile of rubble that had been her home, searching for a few pieces of clothing.
"All I have left now is what I am wearing," she says.
It lies in the exhausted voice of a local official as he explains to a hysterical woman that he does not have enough men to excavate the ruins where she is convinced her family is trapped.
"We must all coordinate the rescue effort together," Xu Wenchun insists.
But even as hundreds of thousands of people in the stricken zone of southwest China camped out for a third night, fearing seismic aftershocks, many are being succored by the earthquake's social aftershocks.
The streets of Hanwang, some 40 miles northeast of the quake's epicenter, are swarming with volunteers, identified by yellow ribbons tied above their elbows, who have come from other towns in Sichuan to help the relief effort.
Ducking into the makeshift shelters that residents have built from plastic sheeting, parasols, matting, and anything else that came to hand, volunteers distribute bottled water, food, and medicine.
"It's natural," says Yang Gongma, a physics teacher from the nearby city of Deyang, who has come with a group of colleagues to hand out relief supplies. "We felt the earthquake too, and we survived, so we think we should do anything we can."
"If one part of China has problems, help should come from eight other directions," says Luo Jingui, quoting a Chinese proverb, as he leads a team of employees in distributing food and water. Founder of a car dealership and driving school, Mr. Luo says that he commandeered 30 of his company's vehicles, filled them with relief supplies, and brought his entire workforce to Hanwang.
The road into the area around Hanwang was filled with relief supply vehicles of all sorts: from Army trucks decorated with red banners exhorting people to "raise the flag and follow the party," to pickup trucks boasting corporate logos and personal vehicles flying yellow ribbons from their antennae, offering volunteers free rides.
Government soldiers, who have spearheaded emergency rescue operations, concentrated on the worst of the disaster areas in town, where large numbers of people remained trapped on Wednesday afternoon.
Though some residents here complain that nobody is helping them to retrieve their belongings from collapsed houses, or to search for loved ones in their homes, "the first thing we need to do is to rescue people and dig out dead bodies or they will spread disease," says Mr. Xu, deputy head of the town's Communist Party organization.
Some two dozen Peoples Liberation Army (PLA) soldiers are using probes, sniffer dogs, heavy machinery and cement saws on the collapsed ruins of a primary school where Mr. Liu's son had studied, but hopes are fading that any of the children trapped in the ruins would be found alive.
Only five had been rescued by Wednesday, and rescuers say they have heard no cries since the morning. Most of the bodies retrieved were found in what remained of the stairwell, indicating that the children were attempting to flee. "There will be at least a thousand dead" in the primary school and neighboring secondary school, says one PLA rescue worker, Chang Lei, as he takes a break. "And I don't expect we will find any more survivors."
Reports are similarly grim 30 miles west into the mountains, nearer the earthquake's epicenter. By Wednesday evening only parachutists and helicopter-borne medical teams had reached the counties, such as Beichuan, Wenchuan, and Ping Wu, where the damage is reported to be heaviest.
After two days of heavy rain, better weather Wednesday made airborne operations easier, but roads into the worst-hit regions remained blocked by landslides, rendering large-scale assistance impossible.
"Getting to those places is harder than climbing to the sky," says Liu Leiming, a spokesman for the local government in Mianyang, the nearest city.
Reports from Beichuan Province suggest that as many as 80 percent of the buildings in that town have collapsed.
Such reports are of little consequence to Liu Ping as he leans wearily against the street-food stand on which he has laid the body of his 11-year-old son Chengjun, along with the paper money and joss sticks required for a Chinese burial.
He has covered the boy's torso with a piece of checkered blue-and-white cloth, but his sneakers and white socks are visible.
"The government has asked people to bury their family members themselves, and I am taking my son home to bury him there," Liu says. "But I don't have the strength to push him any farther."

Like Carla, I wondered whether this was paint on paper (or canvas) or digital - I'm assuming digital, but it doesn't really matter.
The concept and execution are great and there is a certain ambiguity in the whole devil/angel thing in this picture, which is really intelligent. The figures seem to draw from each other, particularly the left from the right, and there are possibly faces emerging in the overall design.
Fantastic use of shape, form, texture and colour and certainly the "biggest" realisation of this theme I've seen so far, in terms of concept.

ECU Faculty Manual: Part XI, General Faculty Employment Guidelines and Benefits
1. Purpose
Faculty members are expected to remain highly competent in their disciplines and to maintain familiarity with recent scholarship. In pursuit of their scholarly interests, faculty often need sustained and dedicated periods devoted to a project involving research or creative activity. The purpose of this regulation is to provide for equity in submitting and consistency in approving requests for full-time reassignment of faculty time for scholarly activities.
2. Definition
2.1. Faculty Scholarly Reassignment ‹ an approved reassignment for a defined period of time in order for a faculty member to pursue full-time a project involving research or creative activity.

3.3. A probationary term (tenure-track) faculty member is normally ineligible to apply for these faculty scholarly reassignments. The faculty member must be in his/her last probationary year, and if awarded, the reassignment is contingent upon receiving tenure prior to beginning the scholarly reassignment.
3.4. Faculty will be expected to either maintain contact with graduate advisees or to make other arrangements to ensure that students' progress will not be disrupted. This expectation must be clearly stated in the reassignment agreement.
3.5. Faculty members selected for faculty scholarly reassignments will undergo the annual evaluation process as prescribed by Part VIII, Personnel Policies and Procedures for the Faculty of the ECU Faculty Manual.
3.6. The reassignment period will count as time toward promotion and post-tenure review.
3.7. The faculty member will continue to have the general obligations of a University employee other than teaching and service during the reassignment period, including but not limited to remaining accessible through a reliable means of communication with supervisory personnel, complying with reasonable directives of supervisors and officers of the University, responding in a timely and cooperative manner to requests for information, and taking such actions as may be required to comply with any applicable law or University policy or process.
3.8. Faculty on a scholarly reassignment are eligible for consideration for merit salary increases, promotion, and one-time payments or any other salary adjustments approved by the General Assembly, the Board of Governors, or East Carolina University.
3.9. During the reassigned period, the faculty member is expected to devote full time to a project (in addition to duties noted in 3.4 and 3.7 above) that is expected to result in a tangible creative or scholarly product, e.g., the submission and/or publication of one or more peer reviewed articles, a book or book chapters, a patent, or other creative or scholarly product.
3.10. A faculty scholarly reassignment is not an entitlement nor is it based on length of service. Decisions will be based on the merits of the proposal, productivity appropriate for the discipline and the faculty member's stage of career development, and the availability of funds.
3.11. A recipient of a faculty scholarly reassignment pursuant to this regulation is not eligible to receive another scholarly reassignment during a period of seven years following the start of the initial reassignment.
4. Terms and Conditions
4.1. The terms and conditions of the faculty scholarly reassignment will be documented in an appointment letter from the appropriate Vice Chancellor.
4.2. A faculty member on a 9-month contract may be awarded a faculty scholarly reassignment for one semester (either fall semester or spring semester) at full salary or for one academic year (excluding any summer sessions) at half salary.
4.2.1. The faculty member agrees to return to full-time employment at East Carolina University for two semesters following the reassignment.
4.3. A faculty member on a 12-month contract may be awarded a faculty scholarly reassignment for 6 months at full salary or 12 months at half salary.
4.3.1. The faculty member agrees to return to full-time employment at East Carolina University for 12 calendar months following the reassignment.
4.4. During the reassigned period, the faculty member's salary may not exceed his/her regular full-time salary. Funds obtained by the faculty member for travel, per diem, housing, and similar expenses are not considered salary. Exceptions to the cap on salary may be approved by the appropriate Vice Chancellor in cases where a scholarship or fellowship program provides a salary exceeding the faculty member's regular full time salary.
4.5. A faculty member on a faculty scholarly reassignment who accepts a position at another post-secondary institution or any other paid employment that was not included in the proposal or approved through the East Carolina University Policy on Conflicts of Interest and Commitment and External Activities of Faculty and Other Professional Staff policy (see Part VIII of the ECU Faculty Manual) will be considered to have failed to comply with the conditions of this regulation and voluntarily resigned from his or her employment at East Carolina University.
4.6. The faculty member agrees to return to full-time employment at East Carolina University for the period specified in sections 4.2.1 and 4.3.1 above. Should the faculty member fail to do so, he or she must repay the salary received during the period of reassignment by a date specified by the University. Prior to the beginning of and as a condition for receipt of a faculty scholarly reassignment, the faculty member must execute the University's contract acknowledging the obligations contained within this regulation including, but not limited to, returning to full-time employment or repaying the salary.

The faculty member's contribution shall be on an after-tax basis and must be submitted by the faculty member to the Benefits Unit of Human Resources by the payroll deadline for transmission to the State Retirement System. In addition, unless the faculty member returns to service as a contributing member within 12 months after completion of his or her scholarly reassignment and contributes to the Retirement System for at least three more years (except in the event of death or disability), TSERS will cancel the service credits and refund contributions to the employee.
126.96.36.199. In advance of the reassigned period, and after determining whether or not the faculty member wishes to continue making his/her retirement contributions, a letter and other appropriate forms will be submitted by the appropriate Vice Chancellor to the NC Teachers' and State Employees' Retirement System requesting permission for the faculty member to continue his/her retirement contributions.
5.1.5. UNC Optional Retirement Program –Full or Partial Pay
220.127.116.11. If a faculty member participates in the UNC Optional Retirement Program (ORP) the same procedures, except provision 220.127.116.11, as outlined above for TSERS members apply, including the six year maximum allowable credit limit.

"News From The Belly Of The Beast"
All the Wrong Answers
Special to TLE
Memorial Day, 2005 hasn't really been any different than Memorial Day, 2004. Too many people still consider it a day for picnics, summer fun, and super sales events; too few people remember why we set such a day aside in the first place. As American soldiers continue to fight and die overseas, it's more appropriate than ever that we all stop for a moment to consider their sacrifice as well as all that those who have gone before them have given.
At the same time, our respect for our military men and women is doubtless mitigated by doubts over the "war" in which they're currently engaged. Make no mistake: I support our military troops. I don't necessarily oppose war, and there are circumstances under which I'd quite enthusiastically support it. There are some very good reasons that a nation might find itself at war. There are also some very bad ones.
I understand that when there's a threat, a country must respond to neutralize that threat. When America was attacked on September 11, 2001 and a "war on terrorism" was declared shortly thereafter, I agreed with the declaration. Though retaliation was doubtless at the front of some minds, the bottom line was that we knew who had orchestrated that attack and we thought we knew where to find him. Taking Osama bin Laden into custody was far less a matter of revenge than it was a way of decreasing the risk of such attacks in the future.
Osama bin Laden was, Americans were told, holed up somewhere in Afghanistan. We demanded the Afghans turn him over; when they didn't, we went into their country to get him ourselves. In the process, we essentially overthrew a government that dearly needed overthrowing. Forget that it was earlier CIA activities that had trained bin Laden and provided for the Taliban to come to power in the first place. What was important now was catching and trying the man responsible for the horror that was 9/11! And if Afghanistan was actively hiding him, well then Afghanistan was essentially an accessory to the crime.
Somehow, over the intervening months and years, Iraq became a target of American wrath. The "war on terror" was extended beyond those we were told were responsible for previous attacks to those who were responsible for training those who might prove responsible for future attacks. Our government said that Iraq was a country that encouraged terrorism. In fact, officials told us Saddam Hussein had collected various "weapons of mass destruction" himself, and thus he was a threat, too.
Enter the American military, and exit Saddam Hussein. This is a good thing, right? Well, yes. But not really.
Saddam Hussein islet's be frank with each othernot a nice guy. He's done some very bad things to the Iraqi people, and even worse things to minority people who happened to have been unfortunate enough to live in Iraq. But lots of countries have bad leaders, and we don't invade them! Still, other countries with bad leaders aren't collecting "weapons of mass destruction," so...
But wait! UN inspectors never found WMDs in Iraq. It is, of course, entirely probable that the Iraqi government was playing a very clever shell game with inspectors, and that they inspected places where the weapons weren't. By the time they transported themselves to places where the weapons were, they'd been moved to already inspected venues, and once again inspectors found nothing. For week after week, the recipe was a simple one: mix thoroughly and repeat. Yet now that the American military can look wherever it likes in Iraq, the evidence of WMDs is still far less then we were originally led to believe. (Testimony before Congress offered some suggestions as to why such evidence wasn't readily found; other experts suggest that the real reason nothing was found was because there wasn't anything there in the first place.)
Some in the American public tend not to be particularly quiet when they think they've been lied to. And so the Bush administration has had to deal with more than a few accusations and questions thrown at it about the mysterious "we-know-he-had-them-but-we-can't-prove-a-thing" WMDs in Iraq. Mumblings about the relocation of WMDs out of the country aside (which might, in the end, provide some kind of rationale to invade somewhere else), we've never gotten a truly solid response to the media's version of "where's the beef?"
Instead, Americans were spoonfed stories of attrocities committed by Saddam Hussein, his military, and his henchmen. The word "genocide" was even dusted off and used in somber tones. The truth is that the previous Iraqi government did engage in some truly reprehensible behaviors. Kurds were gassed and otherwise murdered (even recent news reflects the discovery of still more Kurdish victims, mostly women and children in this case). Dissidents were shot en masse and buried in group graves.
If there were ever a reason to go into a foreign country and, through strength of arms, overthrow a leader, genocide would be it. Who among us would, after all, suggest that Hitler shouldn't have been stopped from killing so many Jews, or that Pol Pot shouldn't have been shot before he was able to summarily execute so many of his own countrymen? But even such a valid argument coming from the administration is hollow when Iraq is attacked, but Rwanda is not. After all, according to a news report from PBS, "...the Rwandan government launched a genocidal campaign against Tutsis living in Rwanda. According to reports, over 800,000 people were slaughtered over a period of 100 days." Where was the American military then?
We've also been informed that Saddam Hussein supported terrorism, financially and otherwise. That accusation actually happens to be demonstrably true. He very publicly, for example, offered money to the families of Palestinian suicide bombers as well as to those families who suffered a loss in fighting in the Israeli-Palestinean conflict. But is that kind of thing enough to send troops to invade a soverign country and depose its leader? If it were, why haven't we taken out the leader of Libya who has been quite encouraging of such behaviors in the past? How about Syria, where terrorists know they'll find safe harbor? And if financial incentive alone is enough, why not Saudi Arabia where there seems to be a solid money trail that leads directly to the villain who started this whole conflict, Osama bin Laden?
In short, the problem with the war in Iraq isn't the war in Iraq. It's the reasons we're given for the war that are either wrong or, at best, covers for the real reasons. Many suggest that the real reason behind this war is oil. They could be right. On the other hand, the one thing most guaranteed to keep the oil flowing is stability. And say whatever else you will about Saddam Hussein, his government was stable! Are there reasons that warrant US military action in Iraq? Possibly. But if there are, I can't recall having heard them.
Meanwhile, the rationale that we're most likely going to continue to hear is that the war in Iraq is part and parcel of the "war on terror." That's at least in part because so many of us don't much like terrorism. It's also a "safe" reason because it's almost impossible to argue against. If you do, that must mean you're for terrorism, and that's as bad as some of the things Saddam Hussein himself has said and done! In fact, there have been more than a few implications that speaking out against the war in Iraq or the "war on terror" as a whole might be considered criminal acts in and of themselves.
The "war on terror" also has the added bonus of covering a lot of ground with one explanation. Not only does it provide an unassailable (well, not quite, but that doesn't mean it's not treated that way) reason to take our military into other countries, it offers a handy cover for the attack on American liberties as well. Don't want curbs on your First Amendment rights? No one does, but it's important in the "war on terror." Worried about losing your Fourth or Fifth Amendment rights? We're sorry, but some temporary inroads are necessary for the duration of the "war on terror." Concerned about your rapidly disappearing privacy? We're all concerned, but it's a small sacrifice to make for increased safety while we fight the "war on terror."
The questions are many and varied: Why are we fighting in Iraq? Why must Americans be subjected to a national ID card? Why is the administration starting to make the occasional rumble about Iran being "next?" Why is the supposedly temporary PATRIOT Act extending law enforcement powers being considered not just for permanency but for expansion? The only answer we're given time and again is that our sacrifices are for the "war on terror."
It's been suggested that one reason American was attacked was because our attackers don't like freedom (I personally believe there's a little more to it than that, but agree that our freedomincluding those aspects fundamentalist Muslims consider to be sinfulplayed a role). If that's the case, perhaps the "war on terror" has made us safer after all. Oh, not because any of the policies actually work, but rather because those policies are taking away the very freedom the terrorists were supposedly aiming at.
It's ironic, isn't it, that our soldiers are fighting in the name of freedom for Americans and for others, but at home we're losing the war thanks to those who are ostensibly on our side. While we honor our fallen soldiers on Memorial Day, perhaps we can remember the rest of the parties in this "war" on Election Day. That would be a suitable memorial indeed!

SANTA CLARA — Running back Marcus Lattimore is coping with a minor injury not related to his surgically repaired right knee, coach Jim Harbaugh said.
Harbaugh declined to reveal any further details about Lattimore's injury. The former South Carolina running back did not play in his 2013 rookie season while recovering from a gruesome knee injury in October 2012.
"We're going to be going at a speed the doctors allow him and his body allows him to go," Harbaugh said. "The days he was full speed, he looked very good."
Martin said his best tutors have been his fellow linemen, including Anthony Davis, who started as a rookie at age 20, as could be the case for Martin.
"One thing Anthony emphasized was that age doesn't have anything to do with how you play on the field," Martin said.
Daniel Kilgore is the frontrunner to start at center in place of Jonathan Goodwin, who's a free agent after three seasons with the 49ers.
Martin sounded comfortable with adapting to the 49ers' system: "It's coming along pretty smoothly. It's pretty similar to the system I ran in college."

Sneak Peek!!
WOW, has it ever been an eventful and busy Spring!! So many changes have happened here there hasn't been time to THINK, let alone post!! We've been Spring cleaning..........Out with the old...in with the new!
Lots of patterns are being discontinued.... gone for good in July! We're going to flag the ones that are going on the website. I always hate to discontinue things... but there's just not enough room for everything FOREVER!!
Change is an inevitable part of life, I know, but that doesn't mean that it's always easy!! This winter we lost two employees.......and gained four! That meant TRAINING!!!!.... and mistakes.... and fixing mistakes... and delays....and finally, "WHEW", things running more smoothly than ever before! We also have some new machinery which meant things had to be moved around and built...... I just had to put a lot of things (designing) on hold until we got all of our little ducks in a row!! Now I can get back up to speed.
I thought I'd give you a little peek into some of the new things coming out in May and later this summer. The quilt above (I'M SO EXCITED ABOUT IT!!) is my first "MAN" quilt.... Let me give you a little back story..............This Spring I was finally able to talk our son Jon into joining us here in "Girly Land"!! He's come on board as manager of the studio, and BOY!!! has there ever been a shake-up...shake-down.... shake, rattle & roll????? Within a few days he had us all super re-organized and un-fussied, running smoothly and up to code! We've even had our first safety meeting! A man's perspective has done us a lot of good I think.... so..... time for a man's quilt! This is called Vintage Tin. That means vintage car parts/body parts or something in car nut manly testosterone soaked talk..............Jon collaborated with me on this so I'm pretty sure we can say it has the "Man Stamp of Approval"! Don't laugh at the way it's set up. The blocks were just "stuck" in the image to figure out where to put the fabric... it's not the final image.. YIKES!! I'm planning on having it ready to release in July. I don't have the fabric to stitch it on yet or I'd be working on it NOW!!!!
The next picture shows the Halloween Thimble Bouquet. It will be released in May for International Quilt Market. We're not going to Spring Market, but the patterns will be released as if we were! I had planned on going but my fabric line is delayed a little... and I wouldn't have had any new samples to put in my booth.... all that way for a bare booth???? No! I decided to stay home and enjoy my lilacs for once! We always seem to leave for market just as the lilacs are coming to their peak. Not this year! YAY!!!!
The next is Janette Needlebook and Pincushion. It's a tri-fold needlebook with a wool cover and fabric lining. The elongated strawberry-ish cone pincushions are really fun. I want to make a bunch of them to hang on one of my Halloween trees! We made this pattern for one of the retreats....the Thimble bouquet too, for that matter!....... I did the linings in plain linen and everybody stamped them (and the ties) with permanent ink. REALLY fun!!
I have more... a few Christmas things (tea towels, stitchery, Snow Flurries quilt with tons of snowflakes/beads/crystals) and some Halloween tea towels....OH! And another Halloween quilt ala Calendula Patterdrip's Cottage, with an unrolled scroll with spells on it... and a box of the newest taste treat on the witch's snack food market....Guano Puffs!! But first I need to take photos of the ones that will be released in May.........I'll show them to you later! As for some of the other ones...I don't have FABRIC to make them with yet!!!! AAARRRRRGGGGHHHH!!!!!!! Take a few deep breaths and count to 10......
On another subject COMPLETELY............ I'm having the website re-done. Not just a different "look", but totally re-done. I'd really like to know if you have any suggestions or observations about the site now or things in other websites that really work well that you'd like to share??? Links to other websites that are easy to use, have all the bells & whistles, look really good.......etc.... would really be appreciated. I can forward them to my website guy and maybe we can build something that will be GREAT!! Just email firstname.lastname@example.com and put "website" in the subject line so we can sift through them a little more easily. I really do want your input!!

What You'll Get
Teeth-whitening kits improve dental hues without the mess of oil-based paints or the hassle of filling your mouth with stars. Leave the astral bodies alone and still move up a shade with today's Groupon: for $29, you get one teeth-whitening kit with an LED light from Smiling Bright (a $179.99 value).
Smiling Bright returns lost glows to smiles around the country with the X Cell Erator Professional Teeth Whitening System for use in a private home setting. After ordering online, customers will receive a battery-powered LED light and a mouth tray pre-filled with carbamide peroxide gel, which refracts the light into the teeth to brighten them up to 5 shades and 20 IQ points. Vitamin E swabs included in the kit may dispense their luminescent properties over mouth rocks before and after the treatment. Approximately 20 minutes later, after everything is illuminated, customers may weight their results using a whitening guide that measures the movement of dental hues across a spectrum of shades. The LED whitening light remains operable for future use with whitening tray refills, or to render an RC station wagon a legal tollway vehicle by serving as functioning taillights.

I have been debating for a while—a long, long while—about whether or not to write this post, but finally, I just saw one "thin people are disgusting" Facebook meme (or whatever you'd like to call it) too many, and I can't hold it in anymore, so here we go.
I feel like this shouldn't need to be said, but apparently, it does. Problems with body image and low self-esteem can happen at any body size. To anyone. You might hate your own figure and envy someone else's, but they might hate theirs and envy yours.
|Yeah this image makes me ragey.
What it does is remind me of the voice that used to whisper to me when I was younger: Your arms are creepy. Your knees stick out. People probably think you have an eating disorder. In fact, I was pretty obsessed, as a teen, with making sure no one thought I had an eating disorder. In retrospect, I doubt anyone paid my eating habits much mind. But they were always saying things. "You're such a stick!" "Girl, you need to eat more." "What are you, like 50 pounds?"
These things get to a person. I can't and won't pretend I know what it's like to be a bigger person, because I've always been thin. And I also know that my experience is not the experience of all thin people. No one person's experience is ever universal.
But man, rational or not, the weight stuff just got to me. My self-esteem was, like most girls, rocky in high school. Fortunately, the internet was a little newer back then, and no internet drawings were telling me that skinny girls are disgusting. (To be clear, I also don't approve of these sorts of drawings about heavier girls, but those seem not to venture to Facebook, as far as I've seen.) But now?
It's just…it's not okay. It's not.
It's not okay to tell someone they are gross because of their size. It's not okay to say it straight out. It's not okay to say it with passive aggressive internet memes. It's not okay to tweet about the "skinny bitches" at your gym (I have actually unfollowed people before on twitter for saying stuff like that too often. I mean, everyone understands, right, that thin doesn't automatically=healthy? Good diet and a healthy exercise regimen are important for health no matter what you weigh). It's not okay to build up one group of people's feelings of self-worth by putting down another group of people. I know that this post is really thin-hate focused, but it applies to everyone. It's not okay no matter who you're talking about. Words have an impact. This kind of thing might bounce right off one person, but it might lodge in the next person like a fiberglass sliver.
So I'm writing this post, because I tend to be a fiberglass sliver person. And I'd like to see women building each other up, not tearing each other down (because let's face it, ladies, we're the ones doing this to each other). I know it's completely unrealistic to wish that women could all be each other's loving healthy body image support systems, but I guess I hope that at least this post provides some food for thought. I am so for promoting healthy body image, but never, ever at the expense of others. Just something I hope everyone can think about a little bit.

2013 SEMA Cruise: The Friday Night ExodusPosted in Events on November 14, 2013
While Monday through Friday at the 2013 SEMA Show had resulted in seeing a ton of cool custom vehicles, a nagging set of questions only intensified by the end of the week. Yes, these vehicles looked good, but did they run? Did they drive? How did they sound? How did they look driving? With this in mind, we had restlessly looked forward to 4PM Friday afternoon for the close of the show and the start of the Cruise. What is the Cruise? The SEMA Show had tons and tons of vehicles that all needed to leave the premise at the close of the show. Over the years, this mass exodus of such an eclectic collection of vehicles had attracted more attention and more of a crowd. Soon, an official SEMA Cruise was established to somewhat orderly parade the vehicles out into the streets of Las Vegas.
You can imagine that the few sets of bleachers set up at the focal point of the cruise route could not support the thousands upon thousands of people vying for prime viewing real estate. Sections of the street were five deep in cell-phone clad enthusiasts (and innocent bystanders) from all over the world.
Part of the beauty of the Cruise, and what we've tried to depict, is the variety of "vehicles" that cruised out of the SEMA Show Friday night for a solid hour and a half. To narrow it down to a specific genre would detract from part of the cruise's appeal; you just never knew what was coming next. A Toyota Tundra would be followed by a built Camaro, then a rat rod, then a Jeep, then a… race truck, slammed dually, ice cream truck, race car, exotic car, rice rocket, classic truck, rock crawler, diesel truck, mini truck, gasser, Pike's Peak semi-truck, monster truck, drag truck, and so on. If you can imagine it, it probably had to leave SEMA at some point. Drivers and passengers recorded the Cruise from inside their vehicles, and spectators took tons of pictures and videos from the street corners.
What can be more astonishing than a Cruise that can make Big Foot on the street look ordinary? All in all, the Cruise is arguably the most memorable and exciting time of the SEMA Show.

Our Fitness Blog
Why You May Not Be Shedding Those Excess Pounds
You have been diligently sticking to your fitness routine and strictly counting those calories. However, you may not be seeing the results that you want, and it can be made even harder to stay motivated. Rather than jump off the fitness wagon, let's examine a few possibilities that could hinder weight loss.
Tracking what you eat can seem like a waste of time, but actually, it's the most eye opening thing you can do! Don't rely on your memory. If you have never tried writing down everything you eat, then don't prejudge this simple practice. Do this for a few days and you will most likely find much evidence that you aren't eating as "clean" as you thought!
Working out too hard
This may seem like a strange statement, but, actually you can workout at an intensity that's too high for too long and end up burning muscle rather than fat. Make sure you stay in a moderately high zone without maxing out your heart rate for an entire workout. This can be hard to tell simply by how you FEEL, so the best option is to wear a heart rate monitor. At 9Round we have added wearable technology into our workout system with MyZone. This way, you can look up at the screen and see exactly where your heart zone is, in order to stay in what we call the fat burning zone!
This takes all the guesswork out of how hard you are going. If you're not working out hard enough, you'll know to take it up a notch! MyZone also tells you how many calories you burned and keeps track of your workouts for you. It's simply invaluable.
Fitness tracking in these two ways in like having a compass. You can't really get where you want to be unless you know where you already are. I promise it's worth it. Try these two tips and watch your results skyrocket!

COULEE DAM A powerful storm cell ripped through the area Sunday night, downing trees, damaging buildings and knocking out power.
State Highway 155 was closed above Grand Coulee Dam for more than an hour as crews cleared two large trees and power lines from the roadway.
"They weren't allowing traffic through either way," town Utility Clerk Lori Oles said Monday morning, noting at least four toppled trees caused property damage in that town. Damage was also reported in the city of Grand Coulee.
According to Oles, crews have been working nearly around the clock to reopen streets, get power back on and assist residents.
Okanogan County Sheriff Frank Rogers said storm damage in the region was mostly limited to the Coulee Dam area.
"Apparently, they still have power out over there in certain areas," he said Monday. "I guess downed trees caused it."
"Electric is still out in most of west Coulee Dam," Oles added. "It'll be out most of the day."
Nespelem Valley Electrical Coop was assisting city utility crews.
Power was also knocked out at Grand Coulee Dam – the largest power-producing facility in the U.S. – for about a half-hour Sunday night.
"That just points to the importance of power lines and transformers," Federal Bureau of Reclamation spokeswoman Lynne Brougher said, noting there wasn't any storm damage to the dam itself.
Tripped breakers led to a power outage at Grand Coulee Dam. As of Monday, power to the dam had been restored, but not to the visitors center and west Coulee Dam. The laser show was canceled Monday and Tuesday and was expected to resume when power is restored.
Brougher said the dam has three generators with supply west Coulee Dam and the dam itself with power. And without power lines and transformers, "you're in the dark."
Reclamation oversees dam operations.
Trees fell in town near the base of the dam, in several areas around town and above the dam in the city of Grand Coulee.
Police and other authorities rerouted traffic around trees and downed power lines.
Coulee Dam resident Joan Sterley said the storm caused havoc on Aspen Street, where she lives.
"It is a mess," she said Monday morning after surveying the damage. "I've got part of a tree on my house."
Her neighbors were busy cutting up the downed tree in an effort to clear her carport and others.
"It hit the carport and rolled right off," Kevin Johnson said as he cleaned up debris around his father's home, across from Sterley.
Johnson said he was at his father's when the storm hit and the tree fell.
"It went snap, crackle, pop and over she went," he said of the tree. "There was no warning."
A couple blocks away, Nick Barnaby was helping clean up his street.
"It was pretty crazy," he said, pointing to his neighbor Gina Seaver's house on Cedar Street, where a large tree was uprooted, but missed homes, cars and a basketball hoop. "It came down in the middle of the road."
Seaver was home at the time the tree was uprooted.
"We heard a crash, and the big tree came down," she said.
The 128-foot tree peeled some of the siding off her house and uprooted flowers, but caused little other damage.
"God is good," she said. "Nobody got hurt. Nobody else's property was damaged. And look, the basketball hoop is still standing.
"I best go call my insurance company."
Oles also reported trees down on First, Spruce, Tilmus and other streets.
"We've got quite a few down," she said. "And we have power lines down."
At least two businesses in town – including the lone gas station and Coulee Dam Casino – were closed Monday.
The gas station was closed due to the power outage, Oles said. And the casino at 516 Birch St. was closed because of roof damage.
At the casino, wind gusts peeled the metal roof back, wrapping it around a rooftop sign. The parking lot was cordoned off to allow crews to clean up debris. Colville Tribal Federal Corp. Chief Executive Officer Joe Pakootas was unable to be reached for comment by press time, but other tribal officials were optimistic the casino would only be closed a couple days.
In the city of Grand Coulee, damage was more limited.
According to information released by the Grand Coulee Volunteer Fire Department, power lines were down on Roosevelt Drive, Mead Avenue and in a few alleys.
In a few areas, trees were also reportedly on vehicles, including locations on Second Street and Hill Avenue, where the toppled tree smashed a windshield.
A tree also fell on a Weil Place home, the department reported.
Outside the city, at Lakeview Terrace Trailer Park on Spring Canyon Road along state Highway 174, trees had reportedly fallen onto four trailers.
"We had reports of multiple trees down at Lakeview Terrace," National Weather Service meteorologist Ryan Fliehman said Monday. "Two mobile homes were damaged."
As of press time, no injuries had been reported.
According to Fliehman, the damaged was caused by "straight line winds" and heavy rain stretching from Pendleton, Ore., into British Columbia.
In North-Central Washington, the Weather Service recorded wind gusts of 46 mph in Moses Lake and 33 mph in Omak. Strong gusts were also recorded near Colville and Spokane, Fliehman said, adding "Wenatchee was shielded by the Cascades."
"It was a pretty wide-spread event," he said, noting the Coulee Dam area was "one of the hardest hit."
The area had a "lot of wind and a lot of downed trees," he said. While reports of downed trees were coming in from the Coulee Dam and Colville areas, he said National Weather Service officials hadn't yet received any information out of Ferry County.
"But I'm sure the winds kicked up quite a bit," he said.
Ferry County Public Works officials said they had not received any reports of storm-related damage.
Officials there were happy with that, noting they didn't want a repeat of the July 20, 2012, storm that killed one person and left large portions of the county without power.
That straight-line storm prompted then Gov. Christine Gregoire to declare a state of emergency for 16 counties in Eastern Washington.

Great, especially for the price paid
Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
Needed two double din decks for my siblings' cars. I wanted Alpine, so it was between this and the 265. After comparing the two right here on Crutchfield, I decided for their needs, the difference in the features didn't warrant the extra money (x2). Twas my first time ordering from crutchfield.com, and with me being an international customer, I had some interaction with their customer service. They were very courteous. The decks were easy to install in the Nissan and Toyota/, and the difference in sound quality could immediately be heard, even with the stock speakers. I was worried about how this radio requires a software Bluetooth update via a windows 7 laptop, which I don't have. But the Bluetooth seems to work fine, even with my sister's 6s. It is a bit of a hassle to connect to the Bluetooth, though. No regrets for a basic double din, this to me, packs a punch, especially for the price I paid.
Pros: Price Alpine Sound quality Easy installation
Cons: Bluetooth connection a hassle Can require a software update which needs a windows 7 laptop (not sure if windows 10 would work)

- Cupcakes
- 3/4 pound unsalted butter at room temperature 3 sticks
- 2 cups sugar
- 5 extra-large eggs at room temperature
- 1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 teaspoons pure almond extract
- 3 cups flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 14 ounces sweetened shredded coconut
- Frosting
- 1 pound cream cheese at room temperature
- 3/4 pound unsalted butter at room temperature 3 sticks
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon pure almond extract
- 1 1/2 pounds confectioners sugar sifted
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter and sugar on high speed until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes.
- With the mixer on low speed, add the eggs, 1 at a time, scraping down the bowl after each addition.
- Add the vanilla and almond extracts and mix well.
- In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In 3 parts, alternately add the dry ingredients and the buttermilk to the batter, beginning and ending with the dry. Mix until just combined.
- Fold in 7 ounces of coconut.
- Line a muffin pan with paper liners. Fill each liner to the top with batter.
- Bake for 25 to 35 minutes, until the tops are brown and a toothpick comes out clean. Allow to cool in the pan for 15 minutes.
- Remove to a baking rack and cool completely.
- Meanwhile, make the frosting. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, on low speed, cream together the cream cheese, butter, and vanilla and almond extracts. Add the confectioners' sugar and mix until smooth.
- Frost the cupcakes, sprinkle with the remaining coconut. (Maybe a bit of edible glitter?)
Terri's Notes
- These DO rise a bit. I used a medium sized ice cream scoop and filled them ¾ full …worked GREAT!
- Each batch made 30 cupcakes in my old generic sized cupcake pans.
- I made two batches of cupcakes and used one batch of frosting. Plenty!
- Both frosting and cupcakes will freeze. I froze the cupcakes and frosted them fresh on party day.
