My next block for my flower garden quilt
On Sunday after I finished my basket quilt decided I wanted to work on this quilt, I finished up two blocks that needed a bit more applique , still have one more but I can't find the pattern or the overlay for it! thats what I get for putting this project away. hopefully it will appear before I finish the quilt!
I prepped my next block yesterday after debating on using the dark purple or not. I like it and I know in the end it will fit in.
Now I am really inspired after seeing Janet's post yesterday, she finished the inside of the quilt. I love what she did for the sashing I may have to follow her lead there if I find the right fabric.
Have you noticed the difference , yes my quilt will be made in reproduction fabrics! check out the fabrics in some of these blocks, surprised? Yes, its true, reproduction fabrics can be bright and happy too! Wish I had collected more of them over the years, I am still on the look out for more to add to this quilt.

Your flowers are gorgeous, unless you look at them closely you wouldn't know that the fabrics were repros, they work really well.

Isn't that funny?! Until I enlarged the photo, I didn't realize that you had used repro fabrics! Nice fabric choices! You have solved a dilema for me...I have always been drawn to Kim's patterns, but not quite to the fabric choices people have gone with. I do have the Stars and Sprigs...maybe someday...
In stitches,

Your blocks are looking great! It's really hard to tell that they're made from reproduction fabrics.
I saw Janet's post yesterday too and it reminded me that I need to get back to work on that quilt. I stopped right in the middle of appliquéing my first border. - April 3, 2012 at 8:45 AM

Kathy I LOVE the dark purple in this block and that's a color I don't use much of. I really think I should open my boundaries a bit more. At least that's what my daughter always tells me:D
Beautiful block! - April 3, 2012 at 9:14 AM
- Taryn said...
I like that purple and pink combo. You have a good reason to take this project slowly. By using only repros there isn't as much to choose from as the regular brights. The biggest impediment to getting back to a project for me is finding where I stashed it. I have my big flower blocks pinned to my wall but I don't know where I put the pattern. Now I must go look for it.
- April 3, 2012 at 9:39 AM
- Janet O. said...
That dark purple was the thing I noticed before I read a word of your post--because I love purple repro fabrics and I don't think I have seen one that shade. Gorgeous! This is going to be a treasure!
- April 3, 2012 at 9:48 AM
- Janet said...
I love the purple! Its a beautiful flower to add to the others. Bright repros are my very favorite :0)

Wow! Wonderful fabric choices in repros. They are bright! I love how you fussy cut (pieced?) the leaves in the upper right flower block. Your appliqué is gorgeous as well!

- Rebecca said...
love the purples in your flower. It just makes it pop.
Thanks for the side piece about the Susan McCord quilt along site. I have been wanting to make this quilt for about 8 years since I was introduced to Susan McCords quilts on a trip to the Paducah quilt show. Perhaps this quilt adventure will finally get started for me, I certainly have accumulated the fabric for scraps. - April 3, 2012 at 10:51 AM

Lovely spring garden--your repros are amazingly cheerful!

I love your blocks... now the hunt for the right fabric. Maybe Janet still has a little bit of that old Kaffe fabric left. :)
Out of curiosity, when does fabric technically become "vintage"? When you can't buy it any more? - April 3, 2012 at 12:38 PM

Mississippi stamp draws criticism
Category: Metro Written by Rebecca Nuttall - Courier Staff Writer
Courier Staff Writer
While sifting through her mail, Joy Maxberry Woodruff was shocked to see a familiar symbol looking back at her. That symbol was the Confederate flag, which is prominently featured in the Mississippi state flag as part of the U.S. Postal Service Flags of the Nation stamp series.
"I'm still in shock, I'm so surprised that there wouldn't be more sensitivity with our U.S. Postal Service," Maxberry Woodruff said. "They've done such a great job of promoting diversity and goodwill in our country that this was so contrary to their normal mode of operations. I was disappointed and dismayed."

Payne's opponent challenges dismissed
Category: Metro Written by Rebecca Nuttall - Courier Staff Writer
On March 26, Judge Joseph James dismissed two challenges made by former City Councilwoman Tonya Payne against her opponents in the race for the 19th legislative district. The challenges claimed incumbent Rep. Jake Wheatley and District 8 School Board Rep. Mark Brentley did not have the required number of signatures on their petitions.
"I immediately noticed she filed in the wrong court," said Brentley. "This petition is supposed to be filed in Commonwealth Court; she filed in Common Pleas Court. It's a state issue."
As it turned out, Brentley was right. Judge James dismissed the challenges because he said they should've been filed with Commonwealth Court.

Speak Out...What is your view of police wearing T-shirts supporting the officers in Miles case?
Category: Metro Written by Courier Newsroom
In the recent St. Patrick's Day parade 70 police officers wore T-shirts in support of the three officers who allegedly beat Jordan Miles. We asked you what you thought. Here's what you said:
"I think that it is ridiculous. I also believe that the officers made it clear how they really feel about what happened with Miles. They think that it is okay and they are sticking by each other."

Pennsylvania tops Black homicide list
Category: Metro Written by Ashley N. Johnson
Crime continues to be an epidemic plaguing the Black community, especially among young people. A report released earlier this year by the Violence Policy Center found that among the 50 states, Pennsylvania has the largest number of Black homicides.
"We want our study to be a tool for people to use to talk about effective ways to address gun violence," said Josh Sugarmann, executive director of the VPC. He said the study also helps to identify where the violence occurs.

Wag the Dog: How to Change the Conversation from Dirty Politics to Sex
May 24, 2013 by Josh Koehn Politics, Business, Culture, Media Comments (29)
County prosecutor Chuck Gillingham made some bold accusations about Metro in a press conference Wednesday. (Photo by Sugar Wang, courtesy of Singtao Daily)
County prosecutor Chuck Gillingham Jr., son of the former county sheriff, called a press conference Wednesday to accuse Metro of being an accomplice to prostitution and underage sex trafficking. Gillingham said he was acting in an unofficial capacity as a concerned citizen. But it seems something much greater is at play.

Family Health Fiasco: King Broke Law by Asking Campos for Endorsement
May 23, 2013 by Silicon Valley Newsroom Politics Comments (17)
State Assemblymember Nora Campos received an email from Kathleen King, executive director of the Santa Clara Family Health Foundation, that appears to have broken state and IRS laws.
The Santa Clara Family Health Foundation was created to help raise money to pay for poor children's health insurance premiums. In recent years, however, the tax-exempt organization has also acted as a political entity, helping the South Bay Labor Council and Working Partnerships USA fund local tax measures through year-round planning and coordination. While there are some allowances for tax-exempt organizations to get involved in issue campaigns, nonprofits and public agencies cannot play a role in individual candidate campaigns. Kathleen King, executive director of the Health Foundation, has not always followed this rule.
How Santa Clara Scored Big in Attracting the 49ers, Super Bowl L
May 23, 2013 by Rich Robinson Politics, Business Comments (6)
This graphic rendering of the new San Francisco 49ers stadium in Santa Clara should be a reality next year.
Here it comes. The biggest, baddest sports spectacular in the United States of America. Super Bowl L—that is L as in roman numeral 50; and "L" as in "L"ove it—will be an unofficial national holiday. This is an extravaganza and event so special that it dwarfs all other sporting events. And to think it all started with one man's vision, a letter and a personal visit.
Family Health Fiasco: Cindy Chavez Wanted to Sue Metro
May 22, 2013 by Silicon Valley Newsroom Politics Comments (15)
Cindy Chavez speaks to a crowd at the Labor Temple on election night last November.
County supervisor candidate and labor organizer Cindy Chavez has not always been the biggest fan of San Jose Inside and Metro's coverage of local politics. In fact, she was so perturbed by a report in March about the political activities of the Santa Clara Family Health Foundation, on which she was previously a board member, that she suggested a lawsuit.
Family Health Fiasco: Kathleen King Wanted Better Push Polls for Measure A
May 22, 2013 by Silicon Valley Newsroom Politics Comments (9)
A flyer with pictures of elected officials who in 2012 supported Measure A, the 1/8th cent county sales tax increase that will collect $500 million over 10 years.
Push polls are a common occurrence in campaign season. They are designed to leave voters with a more positive or negative reaction to topics and/or individuals after answering questions. Political consultant Rich Robinson recently wrote a column on San Jose Inside about his distate for the leading questions, which are often asked without proper context, he argued. Based on email records obtained through a court order last week, it can be said that Kathleen King, executive director of the Santa Clara Family Health Foundation, does not share this opinion about push polls.

Evergreen Can Learn from San Jose Unified Deal with Teachers
May 22, 2013 by Joseph DiSalvo Politics, Culture Comments (1)
San Jose Unified School District was able to work out a deal with its teachers union.
Recalcitrant school boards and some teacher unions are at the core of a new education battle. A report in the Mercury News last week found that the Evergreen School District's teachers have been "working to rule"—which means only doing what's required according to contract, and nothing more—for several months. This type of posturing only hurts students. It also damages the perception of teachers, and will only encourage the continued growth of non-union charter schools. Courageous leaders on both sides have the power to prevent this type of action, or a threatened strike vote by teachers. In order to restore the trust, board members need to take action to form a settlement.
Family Health Fiasco: Board of Supes President Lets Organized Labor Write His Letters
May 22, 2013 by Silicon Valley Newsroom Politics Comments (3)
Board of Supervisors President Ken Yeager sent a letter to Mayor Chuck Reed and the San Jose City Council in February requesting for a continued partnership in supporting the Children's Health Initiative. But the letter didn't come from anyone in Yeager's office.
Kathleen King expressed concern earlier this year to Working Partnerships USA policy director Bob Brownstein that the city of San Jose would stop funding the Children's Health Initiative (CHI) after Measure A passed in the 2012 election. As executive director of the the Santa Clara Family Health Foundation, King realized this would have an adverse effect on the foundation's ability to continue operations. A plan was then set in motion to tap trusted elected officials.

Knowing JR's passion for the subject, I think he got a little caught up in this one. He is a critic and that can happen you know. I like the story, the actors, the set design which in includes great detail, even the script has great moments and in-jokes. What I felt lack luster was the direction, PB just could not make the story come alive and give the proper sympathy to the characters.

"Her passion, however, was her occupation as a behavioral therapist working with children within the autism spectrum," the obituary read.
In lieu of flowers, it asked that donations be made to Autism Speaks, an advocacy organization.
Olivia Engel, 6
Her favorite stuffed animal was a lamb; pink and purple were her favorite colors.
Olivia's family posted a statement on Facebook with those and other details about their beloved daughter.
"She was insightful for her age and had a great sense of humor. She laughed a lot and always lit up a room including the people around her. She was very creative and was always drawing and designing things," her family said.
Olivia took art and dance lessons, played tennis, soccer and swam. She was involved in Girl Scouts and musical theater. She loved school and did well in math and reading.
Her family described her as a "grateful child ... never greedy." Each night, Olivia led grace at the dinner table.
Josephine Gay, 7
Josephine had just celebrated her seventh birthday Tuesday. There's a picture of her on the Web, published in various news stories, that shows her smiling with glasses on the tip of her nose.

Attractions in Los Angeles
From hot, sandy beaches to spectacular architecture and artwork, there are still plenty of reasons to love L.A. Its amusement parks and close-up interactions with Hollywood have made it a destination for visitors from all over the world, but locals also take advantage of the many attractions. Malibu's beaches and the tranquil gardens at the Getty Center provide respite from busy freeways, while Griffith Park offers numerous opportunities to explore. The many faces of L.A. are all here.
LA's Best Family Friendly Beaches
LA is know for fantastic beaches, but not all beaches are created equal, especially when it comes to family friendly beaches.
Los Angeles Attractions by category
Parks & Open Spaces
While Los Angeles may seem like the typical metropolitan city, anyone who takes the time to look beyond the buildings and glittering lights will realize that some of natures most stunning vistas are woven into the streets and surrounding areas. The diversity in habitats, from beaches to wetlands to mountains, allows LA to be rich in greenery, and nature enthusiasts will love exploring the native flora from the thousands of hiking and biking trails. With the ocean to the west, Los Angeles is cradled mostly by the San Gabriel and Santa Monica Mountain ranges. The Santa Monica Mountains, which run from the Hollywood Hills to Ventura County, are known not only for their beautiful peaks and lush woodlands, but also for Mulholland Drive, the famous road that runs much of the length of them. At the eastern end of the Santa Monica Mountains is the largest municipal park in the US, Griffith Park.

The city is home to some spectacular stretches of green and asphalt that collectively form the parks that residents frequent on a daily basis. Los Angeles parks are the perfect place for a multitude of uses, including special outings, dog walking, exercise, light sporting events, and of course skating and rollerblading. Some of the city's parks are specifically designated for use as dog parks or as primarily for children and/or seniors.

Whether you're the type to wear a lab coat on a daily basis or the type who knows way too many details about way too many movies, there's a museum for you in Los Angeles. As one of the most culturally diverse cities in the country, LA takes as much pride in its own history as it does the history of the world. From exhibits that depict the origins of life in phenomenal detail to unparalleled collections of artwork, each museum is as much a tour through history as it is a shrine to every culture. Ardent fans of the entertainment industry will love visiting the museums that specialize in collections of movie, television and music memorabilia, as well as the ability to see archived footage of some of the most popular moments on screen.

Amusement Parks
On the list of brilliant ideas throughout history, something has to be said for Walt Disney and his idea about how to stir up a sleepy little Anaheim orange grove. Since Disneyland opened its doors over 50 years ago and embedded itself into the hearts and dreams of millions of children everywhere, amusement parks of a similar nature have been built all around the world. While Disneyland still remains the nexus of California's theme parks, it is no longer the only, or most unique, option for amusement in Los Angeles. Many of LA's other theme parks offer tourists the chance to ride some of the fastest roller coasters ever built or to re-enact some of the most celebrated and thrilling movie moments. It doesn't matter who you are, where you come from or which amusement parks you choose, there's something undeniably intoxicating about the sensory adventure waiting on the other side of the entrance gates.

Boat Tours
One of the best ways to truly appreciate the sunny state of California is to climb aboard a beautiful yacht and watch the stunning coastline sail by on a boat tour. Though this may not be the most common way to see the sights of any city, it is certainly one of the best; something about taking a cruise tour makes everyone feel like royalty. Day or night, the Mediterranean climate of southern California provides the ideal setting for dining and dancing on the Pacific Ocean. Champagne brunch cruises are perfect for anyone who wants to bask in the sun while enjoying a sweeping view of sandy beaches and world-famous coastal towns. As dusk approaches, sunset dinner cruises become gold mines for postcard pictures when the famous coastal towns are splashed in fiery hues of amber and rose.

Offering some of the best, unobstructed looks at the lives of every creature, Los Angeles live animal experiences are anything but limited. From furry critters with claws and paws to feathered friends who squawk, almost anyone can find their favorite member of the animal kingdom. The aquariums are fascinating places for young and old, featuring exciting exhibits designed to stimulate the mind as well as appeal to the eyes. Animal fans will find some of the best observing opportunities in the world at in the zoos around Los Angeles, which are varied enough to offer something for everyone. The world-renowned San Diego Zoo is massive and frequently packed with tourists, while the Los Angeles Zoo's smaller animal population and quieter atmosphere makes it an ideal place to spend a relaxing afternoon with friends or family. The Orange County Zoo offers an incredibly affordable option for entertainment.

Meyer: We avoided massive setback
10 Nov 2012
Heyneke Meyer admitted the Springboks would have been 'three steps backwards' had they lost against Ireland but stressed the importance of victory in the education of his team.
The Springboks trailed 12-3 at half-time with very little evidence that they would turn it around in the manner they did. However, there was an inspired effort in the second half to seal a victory that Meyer said has significance beyond the obvious.
'Our performance in the first half was unacceptable and I can't tell you my words to the team. There were too many penalties, we couldn't get going. But I'm proud of this team. At nine points down we showed a lot of character to come back. We've learnt a lot from tonight,' Meyer said.
'This means more than when we beat Australia at home scoring five tries. It was a tough week Beast was out, Gurthro failed another fitness test today, Heinke hasn't trained with us and in the first three minutes Jannie was injured and wanted to come off. We were under the sword. It was the worst half I've ever seen this year.
'I was desperate at one point. I want us to do well, especially for the supporters back home. There could have been a lot of excuses, with almost a whole team out and a lot of guys that moved on. But we don't want to offer excuses. Losing would have been a huge setback for me and the team. It would have been three steps backwards for us.'
Meyer singled out his young players for praise, explaining that their composure and ability to execute instructions was central to the win. He added that there has been patent progress from June to this point.
'We would have lost from this situation at the beginning of the year. What we did in the second half was special,' he said.
Captain Jean de Villiers echoed Meyer's sentiments. 'It's one thing to be selected for the Springboks but more difficult to put in a performance worthy of wearing a Springbok jersey. The first half wasn't. The response was fantastic,' he said.
'In Mendoza [against Argentina] we were in the same situation but we failed to respond. I said at the beginning of the tour that we needed to take it to the next level and I think we did that tonight.'
Meyer, however, stressed that perspective is needed when assessing where they stand at present.
'This is the type of game we needed to win. There were a lot of soft moments this year, but in the second half here there were none. But I what to make it clear that a more highly-rated Springbok team beat Ireland a couple of years back, and then lost to Scotland,' he said.
'We have to be humble, keep our feet on the ground and learn from here. Scotland are waiting and they're a good team. I can tell, though, the team took a lot of confidence from this.'

misery/misfortune of others. -
11 Nov 2012, 16:34 pm@Hondo-229:
My comment had less to do with Lambies performance on saturday, as it was a dig at Puma and SLs unhealthy adoration of him and SBs comment about stalking. -
11 Nov 2012, 16:34 pmYou really have to question Heyneke's ability as a coach.He was in charge of a bulls team with good players who were suited to that Skop en jaag rugby of that era.Fdp,Matfield and other senior players basically were in charge of that Bulls team.Heyneke got a weak mentality and that's a fact.He can't see that SA rugby needs to move with the times as this Bulls Skop en jaag rugby is totally outdated.
11 Nov 2012, 16:37 pm@David-303: Useless trying to explain something to a tree stump.Contrary to popular belief,they don't have human qualities.
11 Nov 2012, 16:49 pmWhy is de Jong not given tge benefit of the doubt – what sort if insult is it to pick a fullback from completely ubschrity over a player in scintillating form.
I find it completely bizarre that SA who've clearly had problems in breaking the line – fail to pick the most dangerous attacking centre in SA – it completely beggars belief – it is every hit as stupid as devilliers selection of smit over tge in-form Bismarck
WTF it with these coached who are completely unable to select form when it shows itself as clearly as daylight.
De Jong gives up absolutely nothing to taur in any respect – de Jong is a centre who right now is at his peak instEad meyer I'd trying to grow a rookie fullback into an unfamiliar position at test level – this can only be explained in terms of ideological bias – it stinks.
11 Nov 2012, 16:53 pm@wnbb-305:
Actually when he isn't trying to annoy with his "quota" and ref comments, Hondo can be quite a perceptive blogger. The problem is trying to work out when that is. -
11 Nov 2012, 16:54 pmI actually would not be surprised if de Jong is picked and makes a couple of clean linebreaks in his 1st game, what's the bet
it's about time cilliers was picked the workrate oftge pack will go through the roof.

11 Nov 2012, 17:01 pm@cab-306: Couldn't agree more
11 Nov 2012, 17:01 pmso much of emo gnashing over the rapport article?
since when does a player in the back three get away with not being able to kick?
11 Nov 2012, 17:03 pmlambie suddenly had a different kicking style yesterday.
have never seen him take a half step back first.
hope louis koen is not ******** him around.
11 Nov 2012, 17:10 pmHi all,
Missed the game last night, caught a horrible 10 minutes in the first half though.
Can someone explain to me the comments regarding JdV and Strauss swapping captaincy etc.?
11 Nov 2012, 17:15 pmSouth Africa – 15-Percy Montgomery (21-

"pdv inherited a world cup winning team" that had consistently languished at number 3 in the rankings and had never beaten new zealand with any sort of consistency.
in fact a lot of these world cup winners were either disgustingly off-form or injured in 2008 but hey it was divvy's fault that they lost.
11 Nov 2012, 17:21 pm@Transformation-314: Try tell Tacitus that. We were never the best team in the World bar 2009 under PDV.
11 Nov 2012, 17:44 pm302@ryecatcher….aaaaah, thanks, and now say it for me so I don't stuff that up when verbalizing the word. Lol.
11 Nov 2012, 22:49 pmI think HM needs the education
11 Nov 2012, 22:55 pmJake White won us the WC and still many on here cant stand him. SA rugby supporters are firstly impatient, second lack long term memory, thirdly couldnt recognise a good coach if one hit them on the head.
11 Nov 2012, 22:56 pmWho the hell would really want to coach SA withso many idiot supporters
12 Nov 2012, 01:24 amOur locks and loosies should be:
Locks: Etzebeth, Alberts
Loosies: Deon Fourie, Flo and Vermeulen -
12 Nov 2012, 01:31 am@j59-320:
That combo would be incredible. Good call.
12 Nov 2012, 05:08 am@The Sharks rugby pedigree is packaged as dog food-179:
I think you missing the point altogether, where exactly does it say that Meyer wants him to kick? Reality is a modern day player playing anywhere in the backline should be able to kick, just like a center should be able to pass both way and a #10 be able to kick with both feet…if they want to get anywhere anyway.
Now I have seen very little of Rhule but I can only assume he can't kick or at least can't kick with any conviction. So let us look at a scenario where he catches the ball close to his own tryline with little support and 3 opposition players hairing down on him, would you like him to:
1. Run at the opposition because that is what he does best, get caught and either turn over the ball or give a way a penalty or;
2. Kick a woer-woer skop that may travel 5 meters either just across the sideline or even worse infield or;
3. Assess his options and punt the ball at least outside his own 25m area?You see, learning to kick may not be about having to kick but rather having the option if needed. The thing is in the professional era he WILL be targeted if opposition knows he can't kick and then what happens to the man.
12 Nov 2012, 05:17 amJust give it up…
• 87.skopdiekan:
5 Nov 2012, 23:38 pm
well I reckon Meyer is going to lose with playing JdV and Taute at center.. he is going to get one more fat lesson of comeuppance to his pathetic ignorant lack of any rugby ingenuity ego that he has already shown in no uncertain terms through the first year of his apprenticeship… he has fck'd up far more times than he has made good.. every time he makes a dumb selection it stuffs him straight back in his prejudicial eyes.. and yet he still hasn't learned it yet..Lots more…

Boks going to get fck'd up Saturday and Meyer is going to bedank
Guess what, they WON!
12 Nov 2012, 06:31 am@Transformation-314: Sure- disgustingly off form after having played the best rugby in the world the year before.
It was lack of coaching mate. PdV was just not a good technical coach. He did not have a clue. C'mon – even the players said it in their autobiographies. They took over coaching. He just man managed and spin doctored.
12 Nov 2012, 06:46 amOh that's just old toothless Chihuahua… he's been tjanking out incorrect predictions and 'coulda/woulda/shoulda's' for years now in between his drooling vitriol… not even worth a kick in the ribs these days…
12 Nov 2012, 06:50 amYep you only have to look at the AB's to see that the modern day winger needs all the skills of a full-back… Brian, JPP have that Hougaard's kicking is improving and Mvovu and Rhule are being worked on in that dept… the latter 3′s positional play is also pretty far off the mark still…
Really not rocket-science… but then some aren't the most objective nor knowledgeable…
12 Nov 2012, 06:52 amI think he stopped taking his medication though, he has been way over the top even for him.
12 Nov 2012, 07:00 am@j59-320: 100%!!!!!
12 Nov 2012, 07:00 amThe same thing happened to Sam his brother with the onset of Dementia towards the end…
12 Nov 2012, 07:15 amThe team should be:
1. Beast (Pat)
2. Biz (Schalk)
3. Heinke
4. Alberts
5. Etsebeth
6. Fourie
7. Louw
8 Duane
9. Hougaard

15. Taute -
12 Nov 2012, 07:24 amHehehe I can see the family resemblance there…
12 Nov 2012, 07:43 am@garth-330: Why play Hougard, Pienaar was brilliant on Saturday second half, took control of the game.
12 Nov 2012, 09:24 am@SjamBok-324: the Springboks entered the World Cup ranked FOURTH in the IRB world rankings, now tell me how does that translate to "having played the best rugby in the world the year before."

If I had to go back to high school, the only topic I would retake is Reproduction. Not because it was every student's interesting subject, but because my Biology teacher was too shy to utter reproduction jargon.
That's right. He'd be there at the front dictating notes, and we'd be hunched over our desks trying not to write while shaking (coz of his shy stammering). Somewhere between his annoying stutters, he'd go silent only for us to raise our heads and realize that what he couldn't utter with his mouth, he had written on the chalk board.
My goodness!!
Never have I felt so cheated. There was my Biology teacher trying to censor a lecture. I mean, I could have learned more about sex just by listening to Snoop. And to think that this guy had children.., how did he even get them? Who allowed him to?
But that's the problem right there. You pious, holy, Godly, righteous adults decided that the subject of sexual organs can never be discussed unless it is:-
1. In bad light or
2. In sickness
And even then, you cannot refer to the affected parts as they should be. You've got silly euphemisms for your sexual organs and sexual intercourse. It's okay to do that as a child but above the age of 18, how do you still refer to your sexual organs as nini and huko chini, while sex is anything from hiyo maneno to kufanyana?
Fine, this is Africa and you can blame my shy Biology teacher for this nonsense. Our parents are no better. To this date, my own mother cannot say the word "boyfriend" while looking me straight in the eye. That said, you can already guess that she and I never ever had that all important Sex Talk . Everything I know, I taught myself. And I am not alone.
Which leads me to ask:
How are you going to teach Kenyans how to use a condom, when they cannot even say the words PENIS and VAGINA without blushing?
Aren't we jumping the gun here? Don't you hear them calling Maina in the morning? Grown adults fumbling over age-five euphemisms for manhood. "Ei Maina.., hiyo kitu ilikuwa ndogo." I sit in the mat and think.., your children have never heard the word PENIS (coz you will never even tell them they have one) but here you are referring to it like it's a mustard seed?
A wise woman once told me that every community has a specific word for the things they believe exist. If it doesn't exist, then there is no one word that describes it. See, in each of our vernaculars there's a term for a body part. The eye, the hand, the stomach, even the buttocks. But ask across the board what is a community's word for "penis" or vagina". You'll get different responses of words that can be interchanged to mean anything from a cow's tail to a hole in the ground. Worst still, the responses come with a shy, small voice and a childish grin. Don't even get me started on the hip slung. Pussy can mean so many things.
People say that before you get married you should talk about everything with your future spouse. From finances, to in-laws, to religion, to children. How do you talk about children when you cannot openly talk about your sexual organs? Or is sex something that just happens? No wonder you've got so many kids. No wonder Gonorrhea is back.
What is the harm in saying vagina? It's Friday, let's practice
Let's say penis now:-
That didn't feel too bad did it?
No, you're not going to hell. At least not today. But do you know what will probably take you to hell. It's the way you mention God's name in vain. Coz in the act you're all like "Oh God, Oh God, yes, Oh GOOOODDD!!!" but you're same person who cannot use the word VAGINA in a conversation with your girlfriends.
I think God is going to have a lot of trouble on judgement day. Things will probably play out like this:-
God: Nittzsah, please step forward
Nittzsah: *bows* Yes, my Lord
God: Do you realize that in all your sexual encounters you screamed my name 4, 789, 603 times but only used the word vagina 2 times in your entire lifetime. 2 times, girl!!
Nittzsah: Lord, I can explain
God: Explain?! It was MY name you weren't supposed to mention in vain, not your sexual organs!
Dear Kenyans, I'm all for teaching people how to use condoms. I'm, even willing to volunteer my energy to the campaign. But until we start having candid conversations about sex and the parts involved, we are wasting our time. Shrouding such vital information in euphemisms only dilutes the message. There is nothing offensive or disgusting about any of your body parts. Your sex organ is not a bad thing. It is as much a part of your body as your head, shoulders, knees and toes. So start referring to it without fear or shame.
Keep practicing: VAGINA, VAGINA, VAGINA……

Mutli Column List
Is there a way to make a list automatically split up into multiple columns? I have a list that is being fed in by an RSS and I would like it to span multiple columns based on the number of entries.
@Maddtechwf, you may try CSS3 multiple columns, but I've never used it, and don't know if it works for lists.. http://css-tricks.com/snippets/css/multiple-columns/
You can in CSS, if you don't mind that it goes like:
1 2 3 4 5 6 li {display:inline-block; width:50%;}
Floats etc can be used too. If that's no good, google on 'jquery list columns' will return several plugins, such as Easy List Splitter: http://www.madeincima.it/en/articles/resources-and-tools/easy-list-splitter-plugin/
However, I am unable to find any that will align all items bottom when it's an odd number, not even any of the Masonry special layouts.
I tried what you said to do above with CSS but this is what I ended up with. http://jsfiddle.net/maddtechwf/5gYv9/

Thank you!
Well, I offered this up to my daughter and she turned it down, which I knew she would do when I saw clue 2 and 6. But that was why I felt so strongly about finding other octagons to replace those two clues for my second afghan. Now I am confident I made the right decision and will try and get it completed before the end of the month. I still have about 10 motifs to make. I will also use an alternate design. This first one that I ended up following to a 'T' will go into the next wedding or big gift needed box and hopefully my daughter will prefer the second one so she can lay claim to it.
I also showed her one! She told me a few weeks ago I would never finish this (I have never finished a project that was more than one piece before) so I showed her one! I finished!
So, off to finish second CAL, and I need to try and knit a tidge everyday and eventually that KAL will also get done. Maybe by Christmas!
I am thrilled to death I have a finished gift for a mystery event yet to happen!!

I changed up one of the octagons and also the border. I was a little sad about the border I thought there would be something much fancier then a single crochet to go with the fancy blanket, but oh well it looks nice and it's done and can't complain much when it is a mystery crotchet.
I'm going to wait to see what the more creative ladies on here do about the border, but I suspect the reason for the simple border is because the motifs themselves are so involved and detailed. Keeping the border simple keeps the attention on the motifs. Now having said that, I'm thinking about going a little wider - maybe using a dc or at least a hdc - but like I said, I'm going to wait for a bit and see what our rebel ladies come up with before I decide how to proceed! LOL

I stayed there while staying in Syracuse visiting my Mom during her final days. I started the first clue when she went into the hospital and then into the nursing home. It gave my cousin and my Mom something to look forward to each week as I downloaded the clues and worked on it at the house and in my Mom's room. She talked about it with everyone that visited! She did not get to see the finished product, how sad. But it passed the time and united us in it's mystery, what would it look like? So we are now at the end of the afghan and at the end of my Mom's incredible life, that was evident to all that attended her funeral, what a special lady she was!! This afghan will always bring me memories of my Mom's final days and the adventure I had staying and re-uniting with a cousin that was such a good friend of mine when I was younger and saying goodbye to my Mom!
Thank you!!
I used an alternate border as SC around is super boring

text: Wittwer Talks About ESC Funding ImpactMonday, March 11, 2013 12:00 PM  The Governor's school funding proposal includes a reduction of funding for the state's Educational Service Centers. Findlay City School Superintendent Dr. Dean Wittwer talked about how the proposal could affect the district with Chris Oaks on Good Mornings.. (audio below) While Findlay City Schools are not directly connected with the Hancock County ESC, the district collaborates with the ESC for certain services and could hurt Findlay City School District funding. Overall Dr. Wittwer sees some benefit in the governor's formula which still has to go through some modification.. (audio below) Dr. Wittwer reminded parents that if they have a child that is going to be five, Kindergarten registration is going on now. Parents will need birth certificates, social security cards and immunization records. You are urged to call the central office for more information. Audio |
