alabama hills recreation area // lone pine, california
After almost a year of pursuing this lifestyle, I've come to learn that detours are absolutely essential to a successful roadtrip. Alabama Hills is just another huge example of that. We planned this trip for Joshua Tree National Park, then figured we'd head to Death Valley National Park after, but after exploring Google Maps for the route, we came across Alabama Hills and decided we'd check it out. Within hours of arriving we had decided to re-structure our loose plans and spend a few days there before heading to Death Valley. This ended up being the highlight of our trip by far!
Alabama Hills (or, the Bamas, as we've learned to call them) is an awesome little recreation area outside of Lone Pine, California, just on the eastern side of the Sierra Mountains. For this visit, we arrived at night and drove around on the dirt roads until we found a campsite that we were happy with. It ended up being one of my favorite places we've camped! Charlie curled up in his bed in that little cave for a few hours one night while Callen shot long exposures and I read in the tent. I always love nights like that, where we each do our own thing for a few hours and it really feels less like a trip and more like every day life.

This month the Ottawa Fury coaching staff are busy signing players, building the squad, and in the past couple of weeks we have see the addition of two more Canadian players. One of those players, Andres Fresenga, was called to the Canadian National Team's first training camp of the year this month. The other, our first goalie Marcel DeBellis, is only 22 but already has experience playing in Europe.
There is a lot to be excited about in this news. First, the fact that Soccer Canada is interested in players like Andres Fresenga who are being named to the Fury is a testament to the quality of player that is being brought into the organization. The Fury organization is doing well in building interest and hype around the team but for the average sports fan it may be difficult to get excited about the team especially since no one has seen them play. For soccer fans, its easy to see the vision of the coaching staff but a casual supporter may be tentative to throw their full support behind a team they have never seen in action. The support of the National program is huge for the Fury organization, a sort of stamp of approval. An assurance that the team will, in fact, be competitive and worth a season ticket.
Second, the fact that young players, like Marcel DeBellis, currently in Europe are excited to come back to Canada to play and build their careers is proof that Canada is becoming a soccer destination for many. It's no longer necessary for players to go abroad to have a solid and successful soccer career. With professional teams in five major Canadian cities, and development programs all across the country, the beautiful game is making its way into the heart of Canada. Canadian players are being developed earlier and with more care and are consequently more successful here at home, and also in leagues abroad. Being a soccer player in North America is now a dream that young Canadian athletes can have. Small communities are spending more time, effort and money maintaining outdoor soccer fields and building indoor venues. Kids can now play outdoor in the summer and indoor in the winter. Adult leagues are popping up in every city and town across the country, and with it the love of the game.
The evidence is clear. Soccer is growing in Canada. When I was growing up, soccer was not a visible sport. In fact, I didn't even play soccer when I was a child. I played baseball in the summer and did figure skating in the winter. I grew up watching hockey, making Stanley Cup playoff brackets in our basement and was oblivious to the fact that there was a Canadian Soccer League and that the Canadian National Team went to the World Cup in 1986. I grew up with heroes like Paul Coffey, Pavel Bure, and Wayne Gretzky. I didn't know players like Pele, or Maradona even existed. Now, with the professional Canadian teams the beautiful game has become more visible and prominent in this country. With games being broadcast on major Canadian television networks, Canadian youngsters can have heroes like Patrice Bernier, Dwayne DeRosario, Russel Teibert, and Ottawa native Eddie Edward. It's exciting to see who will be the one to look up to on this Ottawa Fury team.
Don't get me wrong, there's a long way to go. Obviously, the dream in the hearts of every footie fan is for our nation to participate in the World Cup, and there is a lot more work to do for that to happen. But we're getting there, slowly but surely. And the Ottawa Fury FC is positive step in that direction.

Volunteer Opportunities
April 23 -Greenwood Furnace Park Cleanup Day - 9 am - Noon - Refreshments and Hot Dogs afterwards!
May 7 - Whipple Dam Park Cleanup Day - 9 am - Noon - Refreshments and Hot Dogs afterwards!
Whipple Lake Trail Restoration: Date to be announced
The Friends Group can always use help with certain tasks. For example, we sell firewood at the Greenwood Furnace campground as one of our fundraisers. But we have to MAKE the firewood first before we can sell it! The funds we generate help maintain park infrastructure, pay for park programs such as "Old Home Days", and also pay for projects such as new pavilions. We typically have some ongoing work, like the firewood production, and some occasional work such as trail crews. Lastly, we have the annual cleanup days for each park which are only a little bit of work but a lot of fun. See below for details. Contact us at: firstname.lastname@example.com or call the park at 814-667-1800.
Firewood-chuck: Selling firewood at the Greenwood Furnace Campground is currently our most important fundraiser. There are two methods we use to produce the firewood. The first method is just getting a few people together, coordinating the park's hydraulic logplitter, and then meet to cut and split wood. At least one person should be comfortable using a chainsaw.
The second method uses the Huntingdon County Prisoners to cut and split firewood for us. Don't worry, there is always a prison guard present to directly oversee the prisoners and they have done wonderful work for us and the park. To help with the prisoners is easy and you don't have to help with the actual cutting and splitting if you are not physically able. Basically, someone just needs to be there to make sure the logsplitter is running, they have adequate fuel etc. The prisoners typically work from 9:30 am - 12:30 pm during the week.
Cleanup Crew: The Friends Group covers three state parks; Greenwood Furnace, Whipple Dam and Penn Roosevelt. With help from the park staff we organize a general cleanup of EACH park in the spring. The cleanup usually entails picking up sticks, spreading mulch around beds, pulling weeds, maybe a little light chainsawing....and of course, eating grilled hot dogs and potato salad! All volunteers are fed and watered at the end of the work session. So far we have two sessions scheduled; see below. You can also sign up for any of the sessions at the Whipple Dam Store.
Greenwood Furnace Cleanup: April 19th, 9 am - 12 pm
Whipple Dam Cleanup: April 26th, 9 am - 12 pm
Penn Roosevelt Cleanup: Not scheduled yet
Park Advocate/Social Media: Many of the Friends Group members live on the south-side of Tussey Mountain in Stone Valley. We can use help in both the State College Area and the Belleville (Big Valley) area to promote park programs and give us a voice in these communities. Tasks might entail posting park events on social networking boards, putting up fliers in local stores, trying to get a free announcement in the local newspaper.
Trail-blazer: Volunteers are needed to monitor park trails and report maintenance/management issues. If we don't know a problem exists we can't fix it! Responsibilities include regular visits to specific trail sections, clearing the trail of minor debris, documenting trail conditions. We are hoping to provide trail monitoring forms at the Whipple Dam Store and also at the park snack bars during the season. All three parks have a hiking trails.

Today, Seattle's Department of Planning and Development (DPD) received a complaint citing zoning violation by Volunteer Park Cafe. The Notes section of the complaint reads: "The grocery has expanded its use with a cafe."
DPD assigned the case #1022656. A zoning inspection is forthcoming
Technically: the main floor of 1501 17th Ave. E. is zoned as an exemption ('Non-conforming use') to the neighborhood's residential status. As stated in the Notes section of the complaint: "The grocery has expanded its use with a cafe."
Technically, the DPD inspect will determine if VPC has changed their land use from 'Non-conforming use: Grocery' to 'Non-conforming use: A Eating and Drinking Establishment' without proper permitting.

I don't know the exact words but the meaning of the quotation is: There are more mysteries between heaven and earth than can suppose our vain philosophy. I think it's from Shakespeare, but I'm not sure. I'd like to know the exact qutation's words. Thanks

People's views on social programs are directly affected by moral separation.
Because we live in a society with a high degree of moral separation, there are many people who believe that food stamps, for example, are a bad thing.
There are two arguments I've heard repeated, "food stamp recipients should go out and work hard so they don't have to rely on the charity of others" and, "food stamps are a waste of tax dollars." Libertarians might even go so far as to say that people should rely on individual compassion and charity rather than a government program. That last one is really a nice sentiment if you've never had to rely on individual compassion or charity.
If you read this blog, I probably don't need to even tell you that the reason these arguments don't work is because they don't recognize systemic barriers. They end up reinforcing the status quo by privileging the historically privileged and showing no compassion toward those who struggle.
But they are also aloof to moral separation. When the kinds of people who have time to sit around and talk about whether or not to cut federal assistance programs present their arguments, they are presenting abstractions. They talk about the role of the federal government. They talk about hard work and the American Dream. They talk about taxes.
They do not talk about people.
So not only does moral separation allow the persistence of such a ridiculous notion as there might be a reason why we shouldn't help each other out when it's fairly easy to do so, but it also anchors the entire argument in the realm of abstraction. And so long as we deal in abstractions, our discussions about right and wrong will not be informed by the tangible impact we can have on people's lives, but, rather, they will be informed by ideology.

Tips for Cooking with Chocolate
- Use a potato or vegetable parer to make chocolate curls for decorating cakes and pies. You can use bars of semi-sweet or bitter chocolate.

Are you ready to spam "gg ez" in chat? Do you have mad stacks of money? Do you want the other team to know that you're a big-dick swinger? Then fear not! The Negev is for you! The Negev contains 150 rounds of soul crushing defeat, with a rate of fire of 1.000 rpm. The recoil on the Negev is buttclenching high, so you are better off aiming at the feet of your enemies. The Negev is the most expensive gun in the game at $5,700 , and rightfully so. The Negev is the equivalent of the P90 on steroids and meth. It was originally designed to see just how much noise the human eardrums can take before breaking. (which is about an entire casual lobby filled with mic spammers). So now that we know some background info on the Negev, let's learn how to use it. The Negev is actually not that effective on it's own. You have to go for careful, well-timed bursts to make it effective. Ironically most of the time you can do more with a $300 pistol than the Negev, but that's just counter-strike for you.
But the effectiveness of the Negev scales with the number of them you have on your team. The best strat to using it in a group is to simply group up, and press Mouse 1, and hold W and rush a site together. If your team has 5 Negevs in a competitive match, chances are you are in silver so the other team won't stand a chance to counter your rush. The only tactic to counter this is for them to call your team a bunch of noobs, hoping to demoralize you to stop using the Negev. The most effective counter to this is to unload the remainder of your clip into your opponent's body to assert your dominance as the big-dick swinger in the server. If these kids get in a position where they were almost going to get 16-0'd, show no mercy. Don't let up on them. They are trash. Pound them down into the dirt and their ELO with it. Also, make sure to stock up when you do decide to purchase the Meme Machine.
Make sure to buy 1 of every nade, a deagle, zeus, you name it. Just to show off how much money you have. And when you and your teammates die, you'll Ironically have to save now because you just wasted $9,000 each on a single round. And that is why they don't allow children to gamble. You're shit at money management. You're better off just force buying a P90 every round. Normally I'd suggest and AWP if you have that much money, but we all know how bad your aim is. So that's really all there is to it. Just hold Mouse 1 and W and laugh at your fallen enemies. So tune in next time as I show you how to use the KEK-9, and remember, who cares about hearing loss.
Losing ELO is way worse..

|Club home page
Albion Rovers Football Club is a Scottish football team from the North Lanarkshire town of Coatbridge, currently playing in the Scottish Professional Football League in the Scottish League One. Founded in 1882 as the result of an amalgamation of two other teams, the club joined the Scottish Football League initially in 1903 before returning in 1919 and, although they have spent most of their time in the lower divisions, have maintained their league membership since. Their sole major honours during that time have been wins in the lower two divisions of the senior league system.
The club's stadium, Cliftonhill, known as the Exsel Group Stadium[2] for sponsorship purposes, opened on 25 December 1919.
Early years
Albion Rovers were formed in 1882 from a merger of the two Coatbridge sides Albion FC and Rovers FC,[3] and played at Meadow Park from that year. The club joined the Scottish Football League Second Division in 1903 along with Ayr Parkhouse following a small expansion in numbers.[4] Rovers settled into the League reasonably well, albeit without ever clinching promotion. By 1915 the Scottish Football League had been merged into a single division structure, with the second division scrapped. The Rovers moved to join the Western Football League and whilst members of this set-up moved to their current Cliftonhill home in 1919.[3] They were close to returning to the Scottish League in 1917 but lost out in a vote amongst Clydebank, Vale of Leven and Stevenston United F.C.[5]
Return to the League
With their new stadium completed, Rovers returned to the single division Scottish League for the 1919–20 season. Although they finished rock bottom that season the club also enjoyed possibly their finest hour when they defeated Rangers in the semi-final of the Scottish Cup, before losing 3–2 to Kilmarnock in the Final.[3] Local folklore has it that Rovers' goalkeeper Joe Shortt had to be bailed out of police custody on the morning of the Final and that his subsequent performance at Hampden had been affected by the lingering effects of his alcohol consumption the night before.
Rovers remained a top-flight side even after the return of the Second Division until their relegation in 1923. It was during this period that John "Jock" White, became Rovers' only international appearing for Scotland, in a match against Wales.[6] The club remained in the Second Division until the 1933–34 season when they took the title by a point from Dunfermline Athletic.[7] Of the five seasons immediately before the Second World War Rovers spent all but one of them as a top-flight side. They took part in the emergency Western League during the 1939–40 season before transferring over to the Southern Football League. Despite struggling from time to time to get a full side out the Rovers managed to survive the war in good shape.[8]
It would be 1946–47 before the League returned full-time and Rovers, whose 16th-place finish in 1939 would not normally have led to relegation, were assigned to the 'B' Division due to a restructuring of the League set-up.[9] To add to their problems the celebrated wing partnership of Willie Findlay and Johnny McIlhatton was broken up when the former departed for Rangers[10] and the latter to Everton. One feature of the McIlhatton transfer was a friendly match between the two clubs at Goodison Park in September 1946, which the Toffees won 6–3.
With Jock Stein in the line-up (Stein played 94 matches for Rovers), Rovers managed to clinch promotion in 1947–48 if only for one season, amassing just eight points in the First Division in 1948–49 and an immediate return to the 'B' Division.[11] This was effectively the end of the Rovers as a major force in Scottish football as they became stuck in the Second Division for many years, only occasionally challenging at the top end of the league.
1960s and 1970s
Nevertheless, there were enough moments to brighten up the lives of the Cliftonhill faithful – such as an 8–2 League Cup defeat of local rivals Airdrieonians in 1965–66 and a run to the League Cup quarter-finals in 1973–74 (again defeating Airdrie along the way). Rovers took a 2–0 lead in the first leg against Kilmarnock, but lost the 2nd leg 5–2 to go out 5–4 on aggregate.
Notable players from this era included midfielder Tony Green, who subsequently became a club legend at both Blackpool and Newcastle United, and goalkeeper Jim Brown, who moved on to Chesterfield, and then Sheffield United – both players were capped for Scotland. And no team has ever been able to put together a more spicy trio than [Bill] Currie, [Sid] Sage and [Bert] Rice, who appeared in Rovers' sides of the early 1970s.[12]
Changes brought in for the 1975–76 season saw Rovers placed in the new Second Division, which was now the third tier of the Scottish League.
1980s and 1990s
Rovers made some headlines for reasons other than their on-field performances when in 1983 confectioners Tunnock's became the club's shirt sponsor and the appearance of the shirt was altered to mimic the gold wrapper with red diagonal stripes of a caramel wafer bar the company produced, making Rovers one of the very few clubs to wear a kit inspired by a sweet wrapper.[3] In 1986 a book covering the club's history was published, "The Boys From the 'Brig'" by Robin Marwick.
Players such as Vic Kasule and Bernie Slaven brought some flamboyancy to Rovers in the mid-1980s, and in the 1988–89 season the club were Second Division champions.[13] The First Division stay was again to last just one season and Rovers subsequently finished bottom of the bottom division several times during the 1990s.[14]
Third Division
Rovers found themselves in the newly created Scottish Football League Third Division, finishing last in its inaugural season of 1994–95 season.[14] In an attempt to cut costs, the number of full-timers was substantially reduced and the club's board took a decision to sell Cliftonhill and groundshare with Airdrieonians. Supporters mobilised shareholders to defeat the proposal and oust the then board, a prescient move as it turned out given Airdrie's struggle to maintain the costs of running their new ground and subsequent liquidation.
Following another last place finish in 1999–00 there was an attempt to change the club's fortunes. The team went full-time, although many of the full-time players were youths to whom the club gave employment under a government scheme. Rovers went into the last day of the season in 2001–02 and 2002–03 with a chance of promotion, only to miss out both times. The full-time experiment proved too expensive and had to be dismantled to keep the club's costs under control.[3]
Another attempt by directors in 2004 to sell Cliftonhill and move to Airdrie was defeated by shareholders, despite scare stories put about by the board that the football authorities would not allow the club to play at the ground for much longer. Rovers stayed put and it was against this background that a group of fans set up Albion Rovers Supporters' Trust with a view to benefit the club and local community.
Various commercial offers have subsequently been made to purchase Cliftonhill, but the new board has insisted that it will first seek a new home in Coatbridge before closing any deal.[3]
125th anniversary
The 2006–07 season saw the club celebrate its 125th anniversary and various events took place and souvenirs were produced. A new kit that combined the original blue colours with the yellow adopted during the 1960s was also introduced as part of the celebrations. On the field 2006–07 saw the club progress to the semi-finals of the Challenge Cup, their first semi-final since 1921, a match they lost 4–1 to Ross County in Dingwall.[3][15]
Promotion to the Second Division
Having missed out on a promotion play-off position by a single point in 2009–10 season, 2010–11 season saw the club consistently in the top places. Impressive late season form saw Rovers finish 2nd and go on to gain promotion, beating Queens Park[16] in the play-off semi final and Annan Athletic[17] in the final. In memorable scenes, hundreds of Rovers fans invaded the Annan pitch at the final whistle and joined in prolonged celebrations with the players.
The 2011–12 season was Rovers' first in a higher division in 22 seasons – and had its ups and downs. A 7–2 victory over Airdrie United was the highlight for most Rovers fans but the team finished 9th in the table and found themselves in the play-offs for a second successive season – this time to stay up rather than go up. Yet Rovers triumphed again in even more dramatic circumstances than the previous season. A Scott Chaplain last minute winner against Elgin City in the semi-final[18] and penalties win over Stranraer in the final[19] meant that Rovers had gone up, and stayed up, for the first time since the 1930s.

Here are some terms that you may hear in relation to BDSM and not immediately know the meaning:
BDSM: Catchall expression for a variety of activities, including B&D (Bondage & Domination or Bondage & Discipline), D/S (Domination & Submission), and S/M (Sadomasochism). In general, BDSM is used to refer to the consensual exchange of power and control and/or pain between two or more people.
bottom/sub/submissive/slave: Person(s) giving up control or power in a BDSM scene.
Switch: Person who identifies with both Top/Dominant and bottom/submissive roles. This does not necessarily mean that a person will switch within a scene or even with a specific partner.
Old/new guard: "Old guard" refers to a style and approach attributed to the gay men's leather and SM community in the 1970s. It's generally used to refer to a style of BDSM viewed as incorporating great formality, strict top/bottom roles and hierarchy, and an emphasis on leather. "New guard" usually refers to anything not considered to be "old guard."
Play: BDSM activities. While some people use the term "play" frequently, other individuals object to the use of the term because they feel it does not convey the importance or seriousness of their BDSM activities.
Scene: A play session or BDSM encounter, generally for a specified time period.
Safeword: Word agreed upon by everyone in a scene that can be used by anyone in the scene to interrupt or completely stop a scene.
Aftercare: Emotional and/or physical care needed, desired, and/or received by a Top or bottom after a scene has ended.
Edge play: BDSM activities that are viewed as riskier, more dangerous, or more unusual than other activities. "Edge play" is in the eye of the beholder.
Toys/gear: Any item or equipment used in a BDSM activity, from a whip to a dildo.
SSC/RACK: Important tenets of BDSM. "Safe, Sane and Consensual" and "Risk Aware Consensual Kink."

If you know a thing or two about hanging around in hammocks you're going to appreciate this one. Absolutely nothing to do with a packet of fags these kingsize parachute silk hammocks are one of our favourite products on this website and is the one we are currently using for ourselves.
The same length as the other Ticket to the Moon hammocks (about 3m) it is so wide at 2.3m (nearly 8 feet) that no only can you pile the whole family in there you can use it like our Mexican friends use their hammocks and go against the grain, that is, lie across the hammock. It's brilliant and once you've tried it you won't want anything else.
This year sees one of the most innovative things to happen to hammocks in decades and best of all we're the first to get it. There's a lot of you out there who already own one of Ticket to the Moon's super hammocks. The new hammock is the same fabric, same size and has the same unique S hook hanging system as the original parachute silk hammock.
What has changed is the way to set it up and then, brilliantly, there's an integrated sleeve included with the hammock.
The hammock set up is quick and simple with the new Express bag and the sleeve is inspired as it protects the hammock when not in use by covering the hammock like a long snakeskin, preventing it from billowing in the wind, fading in the sun and it makes it a smaller target for birds. The best way to understand how it works is to watch this video below.
The fast drying synthetic parachute silk means that you won't find mould or mildew spots on these hammocks and you're less likely to be getting into a damp hammock.
Weighing only 700g means that these are super hammocks to take on holiday or just for a day out.
The rope fixing kit which makes hanging these hammocks so simple sells for €12.
Length when hung: approx 3m

For the biotech and other related industries using dangerous chemicals, the recently passed Frank R. Lautenberg Chemical Safety for the 21st Century Act presents a vast array of new compliance challenges. In this session we will examine the new Act – focusing on those elements having the greatest impact on biotech industries – comparing it to the TSCA regulations and detailing implementation timelines.

Anyone of the 93,000 people who received a DePuy Hip Replacement after July 2003 is subject to an FDA recall of the DePuy Hip Replacement. Many patients who received a DePuy ASR Hip Replacement and the DePuy XL Acetabular ASR are now filing lawsuits against DePuy and others because of the high early failure rate of the DePuy Hip Replacement. Many patients require revision surgery after having a DePuy Hip Replacement and suffer financial and emotional pain after receiving their DePuy Hip Replacement. You may be eligible to sue if:
The DePuy Hip Replacements subject to a recall are the DePuy ASR XL Acetabular system and the DePuy ASR Hip Resurfacing System because they may be dangerous or fail catastrophically. Some surgeons believe DePuy metal-on-metal hip implant was not properly tested and that small particles from the DePuy Hip Replacement can cause inflammatory reactions and cause lasting problems. Women and those with weak bones may be more likely to suffer a DePuy Hip Replacement complication after surgery than others.
The DePuy Hip Replacement can come loose and cause you pain. Within five years after a DePuy implantation, approximately 12% of patients (1 in 8) who had received the DePuy ASR Hip Resurfacing System and 13% of patients (1 in 8) who had a DePuy ASR total hip replacement needed to have a second surgery
There are multiple symptoms of the DePuy Hip Replacement recall including metal-on-metal flaking from the DePuy Hip Replacement which can cause cobalt toxicity. The DePuy Hip Replacement can cause pseudotumors, pain, swelling, soft tissue damage, problems walking or a revision surgery. Other side effects of the DePuy Hip Replacement include vision impairment or hearing loss. The ASR XL Acetabular system and the DePuy ASR Hip Resurfacing System were recalled on August 26, 2010 because of the much higher than normal failure rate. Many patients have had to suffer a DePuy Hip Replacement revision surgery and should be compensated for their medical bills, time from work, and other injuries from their DePuy Hip Replacement.
Patients who had a DePuy Hip Replacement and who have had side effects from the DePuy Hip Replacement may be able to sue DePuy or Johnson and Johnson for their injuries. If you have had a DePuy Hip Replacement surgery and are either suffering from pain, swelling, problems walking or have had to have a revision surgery, you may be able to join a DePuy lawsuit. DePuy Hip Replacement lawyers are offering free legal consultations to anyone injured by this medical device. If you are suffering from a DePuy Hip Replacement - contact an attorney today!

I walked into class today, and a kid I didn't even recognize looked up from his origami, and called out loudly, "Haaannnaaaaaaah!" 😀
Later, when talking to a teacher whose classes I no longer teach, I was informed that her male students miss seeing me and my amazing fashion sense in their class.
There are some parts of my job that really are amazing and filled with love, and that I definitely will miss. 😀 ❤ ❤ ❤

Make Miniature Quilts with Judie Rothermel!
Judie recollects, 'When I began collecting antique quilts and blocks in the 1970's, I realized that those pieces I loved most were done with smaller block sizes. At the time, everyone was making 12", 14" and 16" blocks, and these were the readily available patterns at the time. However, in our shoppe, where I did all of the teaching, I kept thinking about the smaller blocks in my antique quilts, and began drafting down the current patterns to 4" and 5" blocks. I absolutely loved piecing the smaller blocks, and they just seemed more appealing and magical to me."
Judie made her first miniature quilts in the early 1980's, deciding at that time that she would make full size quilts with only the miniature blocks! "Not just little wall hangings, but full size quilts! From that point on, I never made a block larger than 8" square, and even those were rare," she remembers.
Judie's love for miniatures is continually reflected in her many books, and in articles that feature her work. She notes that the miniature category evolved as her forte, and she became known as the creator of the "Miniature Movement", long before the Dear Jane phenomenon began. Her work in miniatures also includes appliqué as well as pieced quilts.
Here are some of Judie's TOP TIPS for achieving ACCURACY when creating miniature quilts:
- It's best to choose simpler blocks, to keep the close-up attention on the prints themselves.
- Since I mostly sew my miniatures by hand, accuracy is the key to perfect little blocks. I trace my templates onto the fabric with a pencil and use a little ruler to add a perfect 3/16" seam allowance. This makes them so accurate I do not need to trim or even pin, as they fit together so precisely.
- I cut the piece of fabric approximately 10 x 10 square or less before drawing out my pieces. I have seen people open a whole yard, then try to draw out the little pieces on it. This is so clumsy and inaccuracies can occur more easily.
- I apply a bit of spray sizing to help stiffen fabrics, so that they stretch less.
- Draw and cut your miniature pieces with the straight of grain on the outside edges of the block, vertically.
- Fussy-cut specific motifs or print directions for strategic placement within the block.
- Draw your pieces on a rotary cutting mat so they will not move or slip.
- I sometimes join my hand pieced blocks and sashings together by machine, sewing on the drawn 3/16'" line.
- Last but not least, I have always stressed PATIENCE when sewing miniatures -- Enjoy! Judie

The Amway Scam
Lowering operating expenses and provide expenses are important elements of successful expense reduction plans. For the duration of the 3 years I have been operating my tiny Kleeneze organization I have of course found opportunities to recruit a number of men and women, of whom (as I have said elsewhere) just two have so far chosen to leave. The deal is the first major cross-border transaction in Britain given that it voted to exit the European Union in June 2016. I've stood infront of folks at business meetings and lied about how a lot of hours I worked and how much money I was generating. Make sure you diarise your key breakthrough's and successes since that is your private business biography and your enterprise guru/advisor chance to fall back as soon as your prepared to take a back seat. I'd like to start off a enterprise myself, but I am not positive but what it would be. You seem wise and I hope you will succeed. It will preserve me afloat even though I analysis for grants, and generate events for customers.

As noted in Peter's PR quote, Step #1, the approval of the joint patent with Pfizer, was produced when the patent was awarded on August 18th (regardless of being allowed on April 20th ).
I encourage men and women to find info there looking for and they way you guys slam the amway organization really sells the organization, because of the lack of work on the failure end of the unsuccessful IBO.

Scott Diebold, a junior goalie for men's ice hockey, rallied an incredible 30 saves during the last home game of the season against rival Clarkson University. Diebold's amazing goalkeeping skills led two of his glove saves to be selected as number one on NCAA Men's Hockey Top Five Plays of the Week. His current overall save percentage is .914, with a total of 786 saves.
Diebold, referred to as "Scotty" by Coach Seth Appert, has been instrumental in the team's record this year, after he was more-or-less thrust into the spotlight after former starter and sophomore goalie Jason Kasdorf dislocated his shoulder during a practice around the end of October. As reported in our special Hockey Highlights insert in late November, Appert was pleased with Diebold being a go-getter before his commonplace appearances, never "sit[ting] around and feel[ing] sorry for himself that he wasn't playing."
The Athlete of the Week award is a new feature that will spotlight an in-season athlete who has demonstrated exceptional skill, teamwork, and sportsmanship. The award is selected by the sports staff of The Polytechnic with input from RPI Athletics and the campus at large. If you have a suggestion for future athletes of the week, send an email to email@example.com.

In Reply to: "I'll go to the wire" posted by Spinerval on December 15, 2003
: Could someone kindly help me re: the origin of the above phrase, generally used when someone will go to extreme limits to accomplish a goal. Is it related to "down to the wire?" Thank you, ye geniuses.
If it's generally used, that surprises me. It looks like a blend of "down to the wire" and "go to the wall."

Hi Everyone. To start the new year off I would like to feature the B side of a couple 45's that I think you will find enjoyable. Both are instrumental and both were released in 1969. The first of these is a record by Glenn Scott with Lee Kyles Indy Three. The label shows that "The Pill" was recorded live at the Idle Hour Club in Indianapolis , Indiana.
Glenn Scott with Lee Kyles Indy Three - The Pill
The second 45 is by a group called The Depoe Drifters. The record was pressed by Southern Plastic (SO) in Nashville, TN. The group's "Soul On Fire" has a garage / psych sound.

I LOVE the Sign in the middle- would frame it in my studio!
Went to the 2nd "Save the Garment Center" Rally earlier today, and want to thank Michelle Vale for introducing me to Erica Wolf (of Nanette Lepore) who has been in charge of organizing STGC. Today's rally was a jobs rally and there were impassioned speakers from all walks of the industry. (Contact me! I will make myself available to help!)
I applaud Mr. "Central" Park's (I pretty sure that's what he called himself at the end of his speech!) observation that many of his factory workers have, over the years, gone on to open their own factories. To paraphrase Mr. Park : "Do you ever see a Starbuck's worker go on to open their own Starbuck's???"
You could replace Starbuck's with Kinko's, Duane Reade, McDonald's and any other large chain and it would be just as true. I would add that Starbuck's does not teach concrete skills to anyone past maybe a manager or 2- and frankly I question those skills, having seen Starbuck's managers completely bomb out when taken out of the Starbuck's culture.
I also liked Roger Cohen's idea of making USA made clothing non-taxable, just one of many ideas we should fight for to strengthen US Manufacturers.
BTW- Michelle Vale Handbags are incredibly made and highly detailed, luxury leather handbags -many with customizable hardware, that are all made right here in NYC. I had the pleasure of meeting her and her husband (and partner) after last week at Afingo's "Behind the Seams" event. ...Looking forward to the next one.

We seem today to be surrounded by devices, books, ideas, apps to help us get as much done in as short a time as possible. Many of these approaches have merit and (sometimes) we do seem to get more done in a day than was ever possible even a few years ago. Another, more old school, approach that can bring a lot of benefits, at work and outside, is complementary partnering. This is where you partner with people who have different strengths and skills to you and with whom you can get through so much more and have more fun, than if you rely solely on the 'DIY', app-powered method. Here is our 'how to' guide to developing strong partnerships at work and in life:
Know your strengths and your limitations.
Be honest with yourself. We can't all be good at everything. No one is a true all-rounder. We have strengths (which others will value and which we will often ignore) and we have weaknesses (which are often obvious and which others can help with). So start by nailing yours – ask for feedback on what others value most about you (your greatest strengths and skills) and where they see you as needing more support (your potential weaker areas). And then own it and do something about it.
Understand others' strengths and skills.
Often, we can hold up others as having great strengths and few weaknesses (compared to ourselves anyway). But the truth is that others too have areas where they excel and areas where they struggle. Observe the strengths and weaknesses in those closest to you and start to consider ways you could work together.
Show vulnerability – ask for help.
This step may be the hardest of all. Being prepared to publicly accept that you're not the perfect all-rounder and that others might be better at some things than you goes against some of what we may have heard in early life. However, if you're going to build stronger relationships, and get more done, with more fun, you've got to be prepared to be vulnerable. So ask those closest to you for help on something where they stand out and you fall down. You might be a poor planner, or completer finisher, you might struggle to reach out to build new connections, miss points of detail, lack the conviction to speak up for what is right. But find the right person to support you and they will be delighted to help – why? Because they get their strengths recognized and they also get to use them, which they love to do!
Show courage – offer support.
Less challenging but still a challenge is offering help to others, asking them to draw on your areas of strength and skill. To do this, you might need to 'take the risk' of exposing weaker areas in others so that you can offer help and support. But if you do this sensitively and frame it as something you would love to help them with as you really enjoy that kind of thing, they are more than likely to take up your offer.
So now you are starting to develop stronger complementary partnerships, but watch out for the pitfalls…
Beware strengths tsunamis.
Sometimes, working with others who have the same or similar strengths and skills to us, can lead to a potential 'strength tsunami', where the energy you generate between you is so great that it risks overwhelming the partnership and others around you. For example, two people who are persuasive and decisive may make decisions too quickly and then try and persuade others of the merits of their position. They may be better bringing in others who have a more strategic or common sense view to 'sanity check' their decision. Or just remember to step back and think it through before pushing ahead too quickly.
And strengths deserts.
At other times, we may become too reliant on one or two particularly important relationships to us and gain great confidence that we can get all we need from these VIPs (Very Important Partnerships). But in doing this, we may miss the emergence of 'strengths deserts', where neither partner has the strengths or skills to deal with certain challenges and where we should bring in others to help. So a partnership that is great at generating new ideas and strategies may not be good at planning or communicating this to other. Use others to help with these important areas, to ensure that a new idea has the best chance of fulfilling its potential.
Stick with it.
This last point is maybe the most important of all. We all know how hard it can be to develop new habits and behavior. Strong partnerships take time to develop and you will experience challenges and setbacks along the way. But when you stick with it, the rewards are great – happier friends and colleagues who feel more valued, and getting so much more done without having to do it all yourself. Remember too to build out a range of complementary partnerships – knowing who to go to for what rather than leaning too heavily on one or two VIPs.
Look out for our new Strengthscope® handbook, for more on which strengths can complement each other to get more done, in less time, while having more fun along the way.

PBSO: Gardens woman arrested after leaving toddler in dirty diaper for 5 days
WELLINGTON — A 42-year-old woman remained in custody Wednesday after her arrest this week on a child neglect charge stemming from the care of a 14-month-old girl.
Sheriff's deputies Tuesday arrested Alicia Henderson after doctors at Wellington Regional Medical Center reported that the girl under her care had a severe rash and infection.
The girl had been lying in a dirty diaper for at least five days and appeared to be hungry, the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office said.
Henderson was being held without bail, according to an arrest report made public Wednesday. Jail records show that she most recently had an address in Palm Beach Gardens. However, she had chosen to be homeless, spending seven days sleeping either in the back of a car or the backyard of a house, the sheriff's office said.
The arrest report does not specify Henderson's relationship to the child. Henderson appeared to have neglected her own care and show signs of being unstable when making conversation, deputies said.

Gordon Ramsay is not a new name to anyone, thanks to his personality on TV shows! Going by his looks on the cover of this book and having seen him on TV made me wonder what he was really like! And that is one reason I picked up this book.
As seen on the cover, this is an autobiography of the world's best and world's worst chef!
The book is divided into several chapters and each chapter talks about a certain phase of his life but not confined to it.
I took almost a week to finish this as I very little time for reading.
The book talks about his parents and how his father was very abusive,childhood, his love for football and how that career ended, his struggle to gain a footing in the culinary world, working with the best in the field, his rivals, opening the various chains of restaurants and fine dining, his family etc.
My thoughts on the book:
- It is an honest account of his life, which is something that an autobiography really needs. He does not mince words or facts. Through his words we can see how much of abuse he and his family have tolerated and yet in the end he goes to see him in his final days,which I feel, shows his respect for his father. With the same honesty he admits when he has been off the line or created problems or made mistakes!
- From what I read, I can see that his rude attitude is from his experiences right from childhood - abusive father, poverty, working ungodly hours under prominent chefs and the stress that comes with it, struggle with money and career.. Well all this does affect ones personality.
- We get to know a lot of things that happen behind the scene in a restaurant. The real scenes in the kitchen, the life of a budding chef, the struggle and stuff.
- The language is really very simple
- He uses a lot of expletives - the F- word once too often!!
- The chapters in this book are not written in chronological order but experiences and events in various stages of his lifetime.
- In all, you can see how much he worked and struggled to reach his goal of becoming the best in the business.

:: Help ::
It was 20 years ago this year, when Markus Pepper...oh, never mind. So this looked promising, based on the homemade looking cover, and the come hither stare of the Sean Astin-channeling-Taco-looking young man plastered on it. Once I heard the first two tracks on this short 4-song EP, I could hardly wait to check out what he did to the Beatles' Help. But I had to wade through one more song, Big Money, which is the only original on here. I was going to include it here, but instead I am going to let you recreate it in your mind. Think of the movie Fletch. Think of the kind of music there was in the movie Fletch. Now pretend there's a montage where someone's making big money. That's exactly what it sounds like, and you didn't even have to waste any precious ear time.
So yeah, Help. The intro is pretty befuddling, and honestly if you don't already know this is a cover of Help, it takes a few seconds to realize that it is. Look, I'm not saying you can't retool a classic song like Help utilizing drum machines, programmed slap bass, and a vocal styling that might make people think you'd lose a slap fight with Rick Astley; I'm just saying you shouldn't, because one day you'll end up being mocked by some smart ass with a computer and some spare time. As unseemly as this version of the song is, the hilariously out of place guitar solo that takes the song to fade out really puts the icing on the cake.

In most states, a master's degree in education or higher education must be completed to begin a career in school administration as an assistant principal. Public school assistant principals must also be licensed, although that's not required for those employed by private schools.
Essential Information
Assistant principals are responsible for ordering textbooks, handling discipline, hiring teachers, scheduling classes and devising recreational programs. Depending on the size of the school, there may be several assistant principals monitoring students and activities. While it isn't strictly necessary to teach before moving into a principal's position, most assistant principals have held teaching positions prior to earning a promotion.

Education Requirements
Though some assistant principals start their careers as teachers, others begin in school administrative positions. An undergraduate degree in education is essential, and nearly all states require public school principals to hold master's degrees in education or educational leadership.
Bachelor of Arts in Education
A Bachelor of Arts in Education (B.A.Ed.) is a 4-year degree program that combines general education courses with core education work. Aspiring education majors must demonstrate a high grade point average and pass the PRAXIS I exam, which is a pre-professional exam that measures students' basic grasp of reading, math and science. Once admitted to a teaching college, students can expect three semesters of education-intensive coursework in:
- Foundations of American education
- Literature for children
- Teaching the exceptional learner
- Problem solving applications
- Teaching mathematics and social studies
- Classroom management
- Social concepts in education
The fourth and final semester of the B.A.Ed. program is student teaching. The student must pass the PRAXIS II exam, a second-tier professional exam that measures the students' readiness to teach in a classroom setting. Students are then assigned a supervising teacher in a school district. Beginning with observation, the student will ultimately develop and implement lesson plans, taking full control of the classroom by teaching, disciplining, tutoring and working with small groups of students. Upon graduation, holders of this degree are licensed to teach in the state in which they graduated.
Master of Arts in Education
For the assistant principal, a Master of Arts in Education (M.A.Ed.) or a Master of Higher Education (M.Ed.) point the way toward a career in school administration. Aside from meeting state guidelines for public school administrators, these programs guide students toward exploring relevant issues in education and encourage students to apply their knowledge in the workplace. A practicum is generally part of these programs, as is student teaching.
A graduate student in an administrative education master's program might expect to study:
- History of Western education
- Sociological foundations of education
- Leadership in education
- Curriculum development
- Enrollment management
- School finance and budgeting
- Supervision and discipline
Licensure Requirements
Almost all states require public school principals to be licensed and to have either a master's degree or graduate-level training, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) (www.bls.gov). Most states have a state association that handles licensure, and these associations also offer continuing education for license renewal. Private school principals are not subject to these regulations.
Career Outlook and Salary Information
According to the BLS, jobs for elementary, middle school, and high school principals are expected to grow by 6% between 2014 and 2024. Additionally, the BLS reported that the median annual salary for education administrators at the elementary and high school levels was $90,410 as of May 2015.
Assistant principals complete tasks as routine as ordering supplies and scheduling classes. They are also responsible for hiring teachers and for student discipline. They are highly trained professionals who typically have a master's degree in education administration or a closely related field and professional licensure.

Honey Pecan Peach Pie
Pie Crust:
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup shortening
½ cup unsalted butter
1 egg
5 tablespoons chilled apple juice
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
Pie Filling:
7 medium peaches peeled
¼ cup pecan pieces
½ cup dark brown sugar
½ cup Stubbs Honey Pecan Bar-B-Q Sauce
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
Juice of medium lemon
1/8 teaspoon lemon zest
2 tablespoons of starch
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon ground coriander
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
1/8 teaspoon cinnamon for dusting
Cooking Instructions
Place flour and salt in a large mixing bowl. Cut unsalted butter into cubes. Add butter and shortening to the flour. With your hands or a pastry knife, combine butter and shortening into the flour. It should combine with clumps being approximately the size of a marble. Next beat the egg and add to dough mixture. After the egg is combined add in apple cider vinegar and apple juice. The dough should be sticky but should not gum up your hands. Once completed, place dough in a Ziploc bag and let sit in the fridge for 1-2 hours.
Remove from fridge and let stand for 15 minutes. After letting stand, coat a counter top and rolling pin lightly with flour. Roll out until you have a sheet of dough approximately ¼" thick and circular in shape (approximately 16″ in diameter). Reapply flour as necessary to your rolling pin. Move dough to a 9×13 cookie sheet.
NOTE: If using store bought crusts, stack two on top of one another and use another to top.
Preheat oven to 375°F.
Peel and cut all peaches into ½" wedges. Mix together peaches, ¼ cup of Honey Pecan Bar-B-Q Sauce and all other ingredients and fold into diced peaches. Using a slotted spoon place peach mixture on the center of the pie dough, try to leave half of the juice in the bowl. After placing peach mixture on the center of the dough, fold over sides on top of the peach mixture. After folding over, sprinkle cinnamon on top of the dough and pie. Don't worry about it being too pretty!
Place pie in the oven, and turn up heat to 425°F Cook for 15 minutes then reduce heat to 375°F. Cook for one hour. After one hour, remove from oven and brush with remaining ¼ cup Honey Pecan Bar-B-Q Sauce. Return to oven and let brown for an additional ten minutes. Remove from oven and let cool for 20 minutes before serving.
Cut into slices, top with your favorite ice cream and drizzle with Honey Pecan Bar-B-Q Sauce and enjoy!
