I've been attempting to write an elegiac couplet, and I'd really like to get some constructive feedback on what I've come up with. The sentiment in this epigram was inspired by Morrissey's hilariously malicious song "We Hate It when Our Friends Become Successful":
Dē invidiā
Nullum mī peius est quam fortūnātus amīcus:
Tollitur in caelum, dum miser hīc maneō.
Thanks in advance, and if anyone else has attempted to use this verse form, please share!

WASHINGTON - The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) announced today that four of its attorneys have been selected to participate in the second annual Government Fellowship Program of the American Bar Association's (ABA) Section of Labor and Employment Law. Under the program, EEOC legal staff with a record of excellence in civil rights law will serve as members of the ABA's EEO Committee and Federal Labor Standards Legislation Committee, part of the Section of Labor and Employment Law.
"I commend all the EEOC attorneys who have been selected as fellows by distinguishing themselves through their diligence and exemplary work ethic," said Commission Chairwoman Ida L. Castro. "Moreover, the Commission looks forward to continuing its close working relationship with the ABA, enhancing civil rights enforcement by the private bar and the Federal Government. This important partnership offers invaluable skill development opportunities that will benefit EEOC and further our mission to eliminate discrimination at the workplace."
Mark Dichter, Chair of the ABA's Section of Labor and Employment Law, said: "The ABA Labor and Employment Law Section is most pleased to be able to sponsor fellowships for four outstanding attorneys from EEOC to attend the mid-winter meetings of our EEO and Federal Labor Standards Legislation Committees. We hope that through their attendance at the mid-winter meetings they will become active members of these committees. Our Government Fellowship Program accomplishes two of our major goals to enhance our already close working relationship with EEOC and involve new lawyers in the work of our committees."
The four EEOC attorneys chosen for the fellowship program, which runs from this month until September 1, 2003, are:
EEO Committee Fellows
Federal Labor Standards Legislation Committee Fellow
Fellows are encouraged to take part in all committee activities including preparing publications, acting as instructors at various programs, and attending the ABA's mid-winter committee meetings. The annual meetings offer a valuable forum for fellows to exchange views with private bar attorneys from across the country who represent plaintiffs, unions, and employers. The agenda includes comprehensive seminars on substantive EEO matters, recent developments in employment discrimination case law and legislation, and litigation practice tips and advice. The Federal Labor Standards Legislation Committee mid-winter meeting will be held from February 14 through 17 at Casa de Campo in the Dominican Republic; the EEO meeting will be from March 28 to 31 in Sanibel, Florida.
Last year's fellows are Faye Williams, Senior Trial Attorney, EEOC's Memphis District Office and Lynette Barnes, Senior Trial Attorney, EEOC's Charlotte District Office. Ms. Williams and Ms. Barnes will serve as fellows until September 2002.
EEOC enforces Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which prohibits employment discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex or national origin; the Age Discrimination in Employment Act; the Equal Pay Act; Title I of the Americans with Disabilities Act, which prohibits employment discrimination against people with disabilities in the private sector and state and local governments; prohibitions against discrimination affecting individuals with disabilities in the federal government; and sections of the Civil Rights Act of 1991. Further information about the Commission is available on its web site at www.eeoc.gov.

This story originally ran in the Winter 2007 issue of the Suffolk Alumni Magazine.
Tulane University Associate Professor Dr. Karen Bollinger DeSalvo doesn't get to spend much time with her patients these days. The problem isn't the usual story of managed healthcare gone awry. The barrier between DeSalvo and her practice is the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, which has dominated her career and her life since it struck her hometown of New Orleans on August 29, 2005.
Back then, DeSalvo's hundred hour weeks were primarily spent performing triage. Now, she estimates, "I'm down to 60,70 hour weeks" and "trying really hard to balance my life a lot more." Yet the bulk of her time still has not returned to her practice. Instead, DeSalvo finds her days dominated by meetings, fundraising, and a variety of administrative duties that go along with her unofficial, post-Katrina role as "DeSalvo, Defacto Healthcare Reformer, City of New Orleans." Nothing in DeSalvo's background formally prepared her for these responsibilities, nor did she seek them out. Yet like the city itself, she has risen to the challenge primarily for one reason: there is no choice.
From Card Table to Clinic
In the days before the storm, more than half a million people fled the city in long and exhausting lines of cars headed for places like Lafayette, LA, or farther away to Houston, Dallas and northern Mississippi. They escaped the floods that submerged 80 percent of the city. They watched the devastation from afar on TV screens, scarcely able to believe the horrors unfolding in front of them.
DeSalvo and her husband, Jay, an emergency medicine doctor, were camping in Alaska when Hurricane Katrina bore down on New Orleans. Taking the first flight she could get out of Anchorage, DeSalvo stopped in Texas, where Tulane had set up its administration, before returning to New Orleans a few weeks later.
DeSalvo had been lucky—her home in a suburb of the city was 12 feet above sea level and lost just 12 shingles to the storm. Because of the minimal damage, she left the repairs to her husband and headed back to the city. There, she joined Tulane physicians-in-training who had set up six makeshift clinics around the city. One was in the courtyard of a community center for teens with babies. With just a card table and a cooler, they gave tetanus shots and patched minor wounds. Other doctors practiced in tents, shelters, police stations, and vans.
At the time, the city was still under mandatory evacuation. DeSalvo and her colleagues worked with no potable water, sewerage, or electricity. Most of downtown was accessible by car but well-guarded by the military.
In the beginning, they treated locals and first responders, serving as many as 400 patients a day. "There was no one in charge," she recalls, "so that actually made things a lot easier, because if you were willing and able and motivated and just kept doing the right thing, you could get an awful lot done."
One of the makeshift clinics evolved into the Tulane Community Health Center at Covenant House, the embodiment of DeSalvo's long-held vision to create a responsive and well-rounded public health system. The clinic provides primary, psychiatric, pediatric, mental health, and reproductive health care, as well as job-training skills classes. Patients have access to a burgeoning library and day care center.
To date, the doctors there have treated more than 11,000 patients, the majority poor, chronically ill, disabled, or homeless. De Salvo hopes to use her success as a model as the city and state work to rebuild the public health network.
"Karen is willing to think about health care in a new way that addresses the individuals' needs, and she steps outside of the traditional health system to address these needs," clinic coordinator Leah Berger says.
"The need for accessible care is so apparent, so visible," Berger adds, "yet there is still hesitancy for someone to step forward and say 'Let's do something about it.' Karen took leadership and is making it work."
People Skills
From the beginning, DeSalvo's life seemed to be pushing her to help people who are poor with little choice or voice in health care. In Austin, TX, where she grew up, DeSalvo and her two sisters waited for hours in big public health clinics. Even simple ailments like the flu required her mother, a single parent working as an office manager for a radiologist, to take time off. The image DeSalvo recalls is the look of stress on her mother's face.
DeSalvo's career path started to take shape around the age of 12 after observing doctors for a school report. She would eventually fund her dream by waiting tables and taking out loans. As an undergraduate at Suffolk, DeSalvo saw herself traveling to far-away countries to teach and improve health care. She spent a semester overseas and graduated from Suffolk with degrees in biology and political science. DeSalvo says Suffolk instilled a sense of "can-do" in her. "I was resourceful," she says. "At Suffolk, there was a lot of self-made people."
For her residency, DeSalvo chose New Orleans, where her family had roots going back for generations. Fittingly, she spent four years in the city's center of public health, Charity Hospital, affiliated with Tulane University. DeSalvo credits Suffolk biology professor Henry Mulcahy for helping her gain admittance to Tulane Medical School.
At Tulane, DeSalvo learned she didn't need to travel over oceans to find people who needed better health care—she just had to cross the street. DeSalvo recalls questioning a middle-aged patent about whether her chest pains lasted for minutes or seconds. The patient's response was jolting: "Which is longer?"
"It completely changed my paradigm of history-taking," DeSalvo says. "I thought, 'Boy, she may say anything to appease me or may say something that's not completely right." DeSalvo realized the current system wasn't meeting the needs of the population it was designed for.
This epiphany drove much of DeSalvo's pre-Katrina research, as she developed strategies to identify and treat high-risk individuals, a challenge in a public health system that produced some of the worst results in the country. She also worked to find ways to increase the face time patients got with doctors and had begun studies on visits to doctors by groups of patients with the same sickness.
For this work, Tulane named DeSalvo as C. Thorpe Ray Chair in Medicine, a prestigious endowed position that gave her greater flexibility and less restrictive funding for her research. She still holds the chair, and is also the chief of general internal medicine and geriatrics at Tulane School of Medicine. When DeSalvo, now 41, landed that spot, she was the first woman and one of the youngest to ever head the unit. In 2002, she received her master's degree from Harvard School of Public Health, was selected as a Robert Wood Johnson Faculty Scholar, and won a NIH-sponsored faculty development award.
In the wake of Katrina, DeSalvo was able to tap into two very different strands from her past, each indispensable to navigating the minefield of healthcare reform. On a personal level, there was the influence of her mom, "the person who knew everybody you know, the person who knew the postman's name and what was going on with his kids. I have a little bit of that in me, too, so that helped." On a wider scale, DeSalvo drew upon her dual training in public health and medicine. "We tend to think of systems more than individuals," she explains.
Yet as Katrina quickly revealed, New Orleans really had no system in place. "It felt like we had been hiding this in our house and CNN showed up, threw open the door, and revealed all of your flawed family…whatever the stereotypes are of people you want to hide in your house." Ironically, opening the door had a positive effect, DeSalvo says, because "until it's so publicly revealed, it's hard to get it changed."
Just as the hurricane itself revealed previously hidden issues about race and class, the individual experiences of patients peeled back the veneer or normalcy, exposing a dysfunctional healthcare system.
"There was a guy who came in with short breath," DeSalvo recalls. "He came down here to do construction work. It's like, 'Well, I think you have heart failure and, oh, by the way, you have high blood pressure and I think you have diabetes, and we don't have any way to do lab tests to know if any of those things are true or causing trouble to your heart. So here's some medicine and good luck.' You practice medicine by the seat of your pants, kind of hoping for the best."
Prescription for Reform
As the hurricane brought into sharp focus, more than a quarter of New Orleans' population lives below the poverty line and more than one-third of the population is black, constituting what DeSalvo says is an understudied and undeserved minority group. Low-income patients are more likely than others to suffer from more than one chronic condition, such as obesity, heart disease, or diabetes.
Already strained before the hurricane, New Orleans' public health care system is now on the verge of collapse, according to DeSalvo. Few hospitals have re-opened since the storm, and because of workforce and space shortages, acute care facilities fill to capacity as soon as their doors open.
A dramatic increase in mental health issues, including post-traumatic stress disorders and substance abuse, has added to the strain. Adequate aftercare facilities, such as nursing homes, are in short supply so hospital stays are long. A crippled primary care network has driven many to already full emergency rooms.
DeSalvo puts the blame squarely on leadership—or the lack of it.
"There's a lot of ineptitude and you can quote me on that one," she says, citing the fact that, as of early December, only 28 out of 77,000 families who applied for federal assistance to rebuild their homes had received money. "I think they're afraid to give it out because everyone's looking at them but they're not willing to stick their neck out. They're not willing to be leaders." Yet DeSalvo has concluded that "We can't fix the leadership problem unless we call for a Marshall plan."
DeSalvo hopes policymakers use this disruption as an opportunity to make much-needed change. High on her wish list of healthcare priorities are investment in health information technology to help replace the city's lost medical records, and debt forgiveness for physicians and practices, to ease the shortage of doctors.
Along with frustration, there are signs of progress. DeSalvo has helped raise $6.2 million to support the clinic she runs, just $700,000 of which came from public funds. She's raised $7 million overall, with the extra funds going toward research. Business, health care, education, and government leaders are finally working collaboratively on the enormous task of revamping the health care system, a welcome development that rarely happened before the storm. "We've been through something so intense that differences don't matter anymore. It's a uniform struggle," DeSalvo says.
The Louisiana Health Care Redesign Collaborative represents providers, insurers, patients, and other interests. LHCRC's goal, like DeSalvo's, is a patient-centered and quality-driven system accessible to everyone. The collaborative aims to support grassroots efforts that fit that vision while meeting short-term needs to sustain the system in the interim.
DeSalvo has been invaluable to the rebuilding process, says Bruce Passman, president and CEO of the Louisiana Business Group on Health, a collaborative member. "She has unique empathy and intuition that enables her to read between the lines and understand what people feel as well as what they say or do…her ability to gain other people's perspectives on the issues, as well as the respect she's earned from the employer leadership of this organization and the other stakeholders has been remarkable."
Tulane President Scott Cowen authorized a leave for DeSalvo to work at the clinic and on policy development full time, and says she is one of the heroes of the storm. "Her work in helping establish a clinic to treat first responders and ordinary citizens in the immediate aftermath of Katrina was a critical first step in the city's recovery."
Even the New Orleans newspaper CityBusiness has recognized DeSalvo among its "Women of the Year."
DeSalvo acknowledges that her unexpected career turn has had its advantages. "It's been a professionally great time for me," she says. "I mean, I joke about it, but I've done a whole administrative fellowship at the university level…I was doing things that would probably take me a decade to learn."
With Katrina, DeSalvo's career track has forever changed. And yet, there are still the patients—her patients. Even if she can ultimately spend just fiver percent of her time maintaining her practice, DeSalvo feels it will make her a better doctor and a better administrator.
"When I'm actually there on the front lines, that's when I get a chance to understand what the issues are," she says. "Then I can step back and advocate for bigger changes to solve the bigger problems."
If the system DeSalvo and her colleagues develop is successful, it may serve as a blueprint for a nation starved for a working healthcare model. The irony is, should that happened and DeSalvo decamp, her patients and even her city may be a victim of her own success.
"In terms of thinking of leaving, I think it would be a lie to say we don't all think about that every day," DeSalvo admits. "It wouldn't be normal if we didn't think that because we live in a war zone."
And yet, she says, "We're living history. How many people get to put society back together? Hopefully, no one, [but] I understand all the parts of it and how they work and how they don't work. It's such a fascinating learning experience. It's one of the reasons it's so hard to pull away."
Besides, she adds, "It's in my blood to be here. For generations, my people have lived here, and it's broken. I think it deserves the attention and it deserves people who are willing to make the sacrifices to make it better."

Image: Balinese Textile E44792C
This double Ikat - gringsing - was made in about 1932 in the village of Tenganan, East Bali, acquired from Theo Meier in 1938. Size c. 115x42 cm.
- Photographer:
- Stan Florek
- Rights:
- © Australian Museum
This double Ikat gringsing is a ceremonial textile dated to about 1932. Textiles of this type and design are made only in the village of Tenganan, East Bali, and are used in the special ceremonies of that village. The gringsing is a highly valued textile for ritual use and is considered one to the most important and magical textiles in Balinese culture.
This ikat was made by the intricate process in which hand-spun woven cotton is coloured in indigo and maroon natural dyes. The threads are tie-dyed to apply different colours to their different sections. The threads are then woven using a hand loom. The pattern with fish-scale motif covers the entire surface. Such pattern application is called isi or putra isi.
Ikat – the word, borrowed from the Indonesian language, describes the method of weaving that uses dyed threads to produce coloured patterns, as well as the type of fabric made in this process.

Mostly what James Patrick remembers is the swift, stark suddenness, followed by paralyzing fear.
"Amazing how fast it all happened," the Dallas Stars' assistant coach, a long-ago Calgary Flames' defenceman, is saying three days after the fact. "I was down at the other end of the bench. It seemed to be a series of . . . I don't know . . . flash images. I don't know how else to describe it. I saw Lindy (Ruff) screaming for a doctor. Players were yelling 'Man down!'
"My first thought was 'Did someone get cut by a skate?' Because of the panic in the players and in Lindy's voice. When I came down and saw it was Pevs, I knew it had to be his heart, from the issues in the past. Then you saw that he was . . . lifeless.
"So scary. Almost surreal.
"Then everything just kind of ran together. The game being stopped. The refs coming over. Him being carried down the hallway.
"So . . . quick. A blur. Almost as if you'd only imagined it.
"Immediately, the concern wasn't whether or not he'd been injured badly. You wondered whether he was alive."
The Stars made their first appearance at American Airlines Center on Friday, 96 hours after the game against Columbus was abandoned following Peverley's collapse on the bench due to an irregular heartbeat and him having to be resuscitated by emergency medical personnel. Another real-life lesson of priorities for the often illusionary world of professional sports.
Rich Peverley won't play again this season. May never play again at all. But that's not the issue here.
His long-term health is.
"In a way it was good, if it was meant to happen, that it happened where it did," said centre Tyler Seguin. "The one thing positive about it all, besides him being OK, is that everyone was right there to help as soon as they could.
"If it'd been another scenario it might not have worked out as well."Obviously it was kinda panic there for a little bit. One of the scariest sights I've ever seen. He was right beside me when it was happening. It's something I never want to see again."
Peverley was released from hospital on Wednesday night, and visited the Stars' training facility in Frisco, Texas, the next morning, to boost his teammates' spirits.
"It meant a lot," said Stars' captain Jamie Benn. "Right when he walked in the doors you saw 23 smiling faces. It was great to see him. It was such a scary incident, we're just happy that he's making a good recovery now and that he came to the rink to say hi to the boys.
"There was definitely no way we were going to play that game after it happened. The boys were pretty shook up. Not only me but the other leaders in this room had to calm our group down. We had to re-focus for the next day and a big game against St. Louis. I thought our group did a great job in getting mentally ready.
"It's something you just never want to be part of again. In the end, it's just a game. Our heads weren't in it after that happened. I know a lot of guys were thinking of their families and hockey was in the back seat."
One of the most affected of the Stars was rookie winger Alex Chiasson, so shook up by the near-tragic incident that he was unable to make the trek to Missouri.
"I'll be the first to admit it was really hard," Chiasson told Dallas media after Peverley's surprise appearance at practice Thursday. "Pevs is someone I sat next to in the locker-room, who took care of me on the road, always the first one to text me to see if I wanted to go to dinner. Emotionally, it was really hard. There are different thoughts that go through your mind. You never want to see anything like that."
Dr. Robert Dimeff said Peverley's heart likely raced out of control during the game and then actually stopped, but probably for no more than 10 seconds. The former Boston Bruin will now undergo a procedure that he decided to put off when his condition was first discovered during a physical before training camp. At the time, he was given the option of treating atrial fibrillation, the most common type of heart arrhythmia, with a minor adjustment and medication or missing several months to undergo a more invasive procedure.
"We're just so happy, so grateful, he's OK," said Patrick. "If just know if we'd continued on with that game, we would've lost 10-0. Our guys were so traumatized by what happened. Half of them were crying and half of them were so upset they couldn't even talk. Things like that . . . they can't help but shake you down to the core."
James Patrick was on another bench in February of 2008, working as an assistant coach for the Buffalo Sabres, when Richard Zednik's throat was slashed by the skate of tumbling Florida teammate Olli Jokinen. That was a different kind of fear.
"I remember seeing that, him holding his neck and the blood gushing," recalled Patrick, shaking his head softly, on Friday. "And I remember hearing the great news that he was going to be OK. I remember this overwhelming feeling of relief.
"The same feelings I had (Tuesday).
"The toughest part, I think, was when we were waiting for word. I don't know how long it actually was, but it seemed like 10 or 15 minutes before Lindy walked out and let us know that everything was OK. Both Lindy and Curt (Fraser) were in there with the doctors, saw the whole thing. Incredible.
"That 10 or 15 minutes went on and on. I couldn't tell you for sure. Forever, it seemed like.
"So when he came out and told us (Peverley) had been revived, he was conscious, that initial, intense feeling of shock kind of wore away and you're thinking:
'This is the greatest news possible. This is just incredible. No one, anywhere, could possibly be getting news this good.'
"That's just the way you felt."

Sadly as some

Sadly as some old mediæval knight
Said Life to Death: Methinks, if I were you
Said the archangels, moving in their glory
Sarvent, Marster! Yes, sah, dat s me
Saturnian mother! why dost thou devour
Say, in a hut of mean estate
Says Stonewall Jackson to Little Phil
Say there! Praps
Science long watched the realms of space
Scorn not the sonnet, though its strength be sapped
Seal thou the window! Yea, shut out the light
See, from this counterfeit of him
See, yonder, the belfry tower
Serene, I fold my hands and wait
Serene, vast head, with silver cloud of hair
Sez Corporal Madden to Private McFadden
Shakespeare and Miltonwhat third blazoned name
She came among the gathering crowd
She came and stood in the Old South Church
She came and went as comes and goes
She comes like the hush and beauty of the night
She comesthe spirit of the dance
She dances
She dreams of Love upon the temple stair
She felt, I think, but as a wild-flower can
She has gone to be with the angels
She knew that she was growing blind
She leaned her cheek upon her hand
She lives in light, not shadow
She might have known it in the earlier Spring
Shepherd, wilt thou take counsel of the bird
She roves through shadowy solitudes
She sees her image in the glass
Shes had a Vassar education
She sits within the white oak hall
She s loveliest of the festal throng
She told the story, and the whole world wept
She wanders up and down the main
She was a beauty in the days
She was so littlelittle in her grave
Sigh not for love,the ways of love are dark
Silence and Solitude may hint
Silence instead of thy sweet song, my bird
Silence was envious of the only voice
Silent amidst unbroken silence deep
Since Cleopatra died! Long years are past
Since oer thy footstool here below
Sing me a sweet, low song of night
Sin-satiate, and haggard with despair
Skeeters am a hummin on de honeysuckle vine
Skin creamy as the furled magnolia bud
Skirting the river road (my forenoon walk, my rest)
Sleep, love, sleep
Sleep, Motley, with the great of ancient days
Sleep, sleep, sleep
Sleep sweetly in your humble graves
Slow, groping giant, whose unsteady limbs
Slowly by Gods hand unfurled
Snare me the soul of a dragon-fly
Snatch the departing mood
So all day long I followed through the fields
Soe, Mistress Anne, faire neighbour myne
So fallen! so lost! the light withdrawn
Softer than silence, stiller than still air
Softly now the light of day
Soft on the sunset sky
Soft-sandalled twilight, handmaid of the night
Soft-throated South, breathing of summers ease
So happy were Columbias eight
Solemnly, mournfully
So Love is dead that has been quick so long
Some space beyond the garden close
Some tell us t is a burnin shame
Something, it may be, you and I
Something more than the lilt of the strain
Sometimes, when after spirited debate
Some time there ben a lyttel boy
Somewhat apart from the village, and nearer the Basin of Minas
Somewherein desolate wind-swept space
Sorrow, my friend
So that soldierly legend is still on its journey
So, the powder s low, and the larder s clean
Soul of a tree ungrown, new life out of Gods life proceeding
Soul, wherefore fret thee? Striving still to throw
Southrons, hear your country call you
Sparkling and bright in liquid light
Speak! speak! thou fearful guest
Speechless Sorrow sat with me
Spirit of fire and dew
Spirit of song, whose shining wings have borne
Spirit that breathest through my lattice, thou
Spring came with tiny lances thrusting
Spruce Macaronis, and pretty to see
Stand! the grounds your own, my braves
Star-dust and vaporous light
Star of the North! though night winds drift
Stars of the summer night
Stern be the pilot in the dreadful hour
Still as I move thou movest
Still sits the school-house by the road
Still thirteen years: t is autumn now
Still though the one I sing
Stop on the Appian Way
Strain, strain thine eyes, this parting is for aye
Strong in thy steadfast purpose, be
St. Stephens cloistered hall was proud
Such hints as untaught Nature yields
Such is the death the soldier dies
Such natural debts of love our Oxford knows
Such times as windy moods do stir
Sullen and dull, in the September day
Summer is fading; the broad leaves that grew
Superb and sole, upon a plumëd spray
Sure and exact,the masters quiet touch
Sweet bell of Stratford, tolling slow
Sweet-breathed and young
Sweet child of April, I have found thy place
Sweetest of all childlike dreams
Sweet eyes by sorrow still unwet
Sweet little maid with winsome eyes
Sweet names, the rosary of my evening prayer
Sweet Robin, I have heard them say
Sweet saint! whose rising dawned upon the sight
Sweet, sweet, sweet
Sweet wooded way in life, forgetful Sleep
Sweet World, if you will hear me now
Swept by the hot wind, stark, untrackable
Swift across the palace floor
Swift oer the sunny grass
Swift, through some trap mine eyes have never found
Swords crossed,but not in strife
Take all of me,I am thine own, heart, soul
Tall, sombre, grim, against the morning sky
Tameless in his stately pride, along the lake of islands
Teach me the secret of thy loveliness
Tell me not, in mournful numbers
Tell me what sail the seas
Tell me, wide wandering soul, in all thy quest
Thank God that shall judge my soul, not man
Thanksgiving to the gods
That face which no man ever saw
That night I think that no one slept
That sovereign thought obscured? That vision clear
That year? Yes, doubtless I remember still
The Actors dead, and memory alone
The Angel came by night
The autumn seems to cry for thee
The autumn time is with us. Its approach
The banquet-cups, of many a hue and shape
The bearded grass waves in the summer breeze
The Beautiful, which mocked his fond pursuing
The beauty of the northern dawns
The bees in the clover are making honey, and I am making my hay
The birds have hid, the winds are low
The birds their love-notes warble
The blackcaps pipe among the reeds
The brave young city by the Balboa seas
The bright sea washed beneath her feet
The cactus towers, straight and tall
The cold blast at the casement beats
The colonel rode by his picket-line
The countless stars, which to our human eye
The crocuses in the Square
The day is ended. Ere I sink to sleep
The day unfolds like a lotus bloom
The despots heel is on thy shore
The dew is on the heather
The dirge is sung, the ritual said
The dragon-fly and I together
The ducats take! I ll sign the bond to-day
The eagle, did ye see him fall
The eagle of the armies of the West
The earth seems a desolate mother
Thee finds me in the garden, Hannah
The fair Pamela came to town
The faithful helm commands the keel
The fields were silent, and the woodland drear
The fifth from the north wall
The fire upon the hearth is low
The flying sea-bird mocked the floating dulse
The folk who lived in Shakespeares day
The fresh, bright bloom of the daffodils
The garden beds I wandered by
The garden within was shaded
The general dashed along the road
The ghosts of flowers went sailing
The golden-robin came to build his nest
The grandeur of this earthly round
The grass hung wet on Rydal banks
The grass of fifty Aprils hath waved green
The gray waves rock against the gray skyline
The great Republic goes to war
The Grecian Muse, to earth who bore
The groves were Gods first temples. Ere man learned
The half-worlds width divides us; where she sits
The handful here, that once was Marys earth
The hand that swept the sounding lyre
The heart soars up like a bird
The heavens are our riddle; and the sea
The heavy mists have crept away
The hours I spent with thee, dear heart
The imperial boy had fallen in his pride
The innocent, sweet Day is dead
The knell that dooms the voiceless and obscure
The knightliest of the knightly race
The life of man
The light of spring
The light that fills thy house at morn
The little gate was reached at last
The little toy dog is covered with dust
The long, gray moss that softly swings
The love of man and woman is as fire
The man in righteousness arrayed
The man that joins in lifes career
The man who frets at worldly strife
The May sun sheds an amber light
The melancholy days are come, the saddest of the year
The mill goes toiling slowly around
The monarch sat on his judgment-seat
The moonbeams over Arnos vale in silver flood were pouring
The moon has left the sky
The morning is cheery, my boys, arouse
The mother-heart doth yearn at eventide
The muffled drums sad roll has beat
The Muses wrapped in mysteries of light
The name thou wearest does thee grievous wrong
The new moon hung in the sky
The news! our morning, noon, evening cry
The night that has no star lit up by God
The night was dark and fearful
The night was thick and hazy
Then saw I, with gray eyes fulfilled of rest
The old wine filled him, and he saw, with eyes
The osprey sails above the sound
The Past walks here, noiseless, unasked, alone
The Pilgrim Fathers,where are they
The play was done
The poets secret I must know
The promise of these fragrant flowers
The Puritan Spring Beauties stood freshly clad for church
The quarry whence thy form majestic sprung
The Queen sat in her balcony
There are gains for all our losses
There are gains for all our losses
There are harps that complain to the presence of night
There are one or two things I should just like to hint
There are some quiet ways
There, as she sewed, came floating through her head
There be many kinds of partingyes, I know
There came to port last Sunday night
The red rose whispers of passion
There in his room, wheneer the moon looks in
There is a city, builded by no hand
There is a clouded city, gone to rest
There is an hour of peaceful rest
There is a race from eld descent
There is a sound I would not hear
There is no dearer lover of lost hours
There is no rhyme that is half so sweet
There! little girl, dont cry
Theres a song in the air
Theres beauty in the deep
There smiled the smooth Divine, unused to wound
There s not a breath the dewy leaves to stir
Theres something in a noble boy
There stood an unsold captive in the mart
There was a captain-general who ruled in Vera Cruz
There was a gay maiden lived down by the mill
There was a land where lived no violets
There was a man who watched the river flow
There was a rose-tree grew so high
There was a rover from a western shore
There was a time when Death and I
The rising moon has hid the stars
The river widens to a pathless sea
The road is left that once was trod
The Rose aloft in sunny air
The roses of yesteryear
The royal feast was done; the King
The ruddy poppies bend and bow
The Saviour, bowed beneath his cross, climbed up the dreary hill
The scarlet tide of summers life
The sea-bound landsman, looking back to shore
These are my scales to weigh reality
These lands are clothed in burning weather
The shadows lay along Broadway
The shapes that frowned before the eyes
The skies are low, the winds are slow
The skies they were ashen and sober
The skilful listener, he, methinks, may hear
The snow had begun in the gloaming
The song-birds? are they flown away
The soul of the world is abroad to-night
The south-wind brings
The sparrow told it to the robin
The speckled sky is dim with snow
The spinner twisted her slender thread
The Spirit of Earth with still, restoring hands
The spring came earlier on
The stars know a secret
The sudden thrust of speech is no mean test
The sun comes up and the sun goes down
The sun had set
The sun has kissed the violet sea
The sun is sinking over hill and sea
The Sun looked from his everlasting skies
The sun set, but set not his hope
The sunshine of thine eyes
The sun shines bright in the old Kentucky home
The swallow is flying over
The tide rises, the tide falls
The tide slips up the silver sand
The time is come to speak, I think
The town of Hay is far away
The trembling train clings to the leaning wall
The trump hath blown
The turtle on yon withered bough
The twilight hours like birds flew by
The vicomte is wearing a brow of gloom
The village sleeps, a name unknown, till men
The voice of England is a trumpet tone
The wakening bugles cut the night
The wars we wage
The water sings along our keel
The waves forever move
The wayfarer
The weather-leech of the topsail shivers
The whelp that nipped its mothers dug in turning from her breast
The wilderness a secret keeps
The wild geese, flying in the night, behold
The Willis are out to-night
The wind blows wild on Bosn Hill
The wind exultant swept
The wind of Hampstead Heath still burns my cheek
The winds have talked with him confidingly
The wintry blast goes wailing by
The wise forget, dear heart
The word of God to Leyden came
The wreath that star-crowned Shelley gave

Darren Kinyon was really looking to take over the Butte Falls Middle School football program after experiencing success coaching Upper Rogue Pop Warner youth teams for more than a decade.
But when Butte Falls veteran coach Randy Stephenson stepped down this summer after a nine-year stint, the 48-year-old Bay Area native couldn't pass up the top varsity job.
"It's something I've always wanted to do — build a sports program," says Kinyon, who grew up in a football coaching family.
Now the Eagle Point public works specialist is tackling a big challenge and getting a chance to test that desire.
After losing just one District 2 game from 2007-09, the Logger program has struggled getting enough players to field a team and posting a 4-15 record the past two years. Last season, the Loggers didn't win a game on the field but were awarded two forfeits because rival Prospect used an ineligible player.
"With smaller schools you have to get more than just the kids that are football players interested," says Kinyon. "We've almost doubled our roster and that should definitely make a difference. We've held camps to get kids involved and I welcomed the community into the program."
Kinyon has a solid nucleus with seniors Jared McGonagle and Cameron Marley and junior Alex Cool-Hunsaker.
Jared McGonagle returns as a three-year starting lineman on both sides of the ball.
"(McGonagle) is as strong as an ox," says Kinyon. "I'll put him up against anybody."
Alex Cool-Hunsaker will assume quarterback duty after playing a variety of positions in the past. Kinyon likes Hunsaker's leadership, demeanor and running skills.
Marley and sophomore Will Bateman provide a contrast and will be looked to carry the load offensively. Marley — the team's fastest player — gives the offense explosiveness, while Bateman is a power runner.
Up front sophomores Luke McGonagle and Mike McNabb provide decent size, speed and experience.
"We're going to take advantage of the strength and speed on our offensive line," explains Kinyon. "We want to control the ball, control the clock and grind it out."
When the Loggers go to the air, Evan Givins and Coltin Hanson will be the primary targets. Hanson spent part of the summer with the national guard and reported in tip-top shape.
Defensively, the same cast of characters — both McGonagles, Alex Cool-Hunsaker and Marley — are expected to be impact players.
"We've really been working on our quickness," says Kinyon. "It's a wide open field and I want my linemen to be able to reach the outside. There's no doubt we can hold our own in the trenches."
For Kinyon, it's the complete experience that is paramount.
The first-year coach is not fixated on wins or losses: "My main goal is to teach these kids to play. We're serious but it's important to have a good time. Winning will come naturally when you have fun."

New leadership tries to reinvigorate Loggers

Crop Marketing Plan
Raymond E. Massey
Department of Agricultural Economics
Every businessperson eventually becomes involved in finance, production and marketing. These three activities are essential to effective business management. While most farmers describe themselves primarily as producers, they also have to finance and market what they produce.
Fortunately, good producers can be good marketers because smart marketing begins with an idea of the cost of production. Managers who market without an idea of their cost of production can only concentrate on enhancing the price they get for their product. It's like driving a car that only has a front window and no side or rear windows. As long as everything runs smoothly, it can be OK. But any setback must be handled with incomplete knowledge.
Those who market with an understanding of their cost of production can make decisions about what is an acceptable price, what price will cover certain critical costs, and what are the risks of not taking a price when it is offered. Using the analogy of the car, it provides front, side and rear windows so that the decision maker can make both offensive and defensive decisions.
The marketing plan described here is intended, first, to cover as many of the costs of production as possible and, second, to maximize the price received for commodities produced. Many farmers try to maximize price before they have implemented strategies to cover all costs. While marketing in this manner is the prerogative of the farmer, it is not the approach recommended in this guide. The marketing plan discussed here focuses on relatively simple and available strategies that can be used to increase income and reduce risk.
A three-step process
A business-oriented marketing plan includes the following three steps:
- Estimate your cost of production and expected break-even price per unit of commodity, e.g., bushel, pound or hundredweight.
- Determine your marketing plan — how much you are going to sell at what price.
- Develop a follow-through plan.
Your cost of production
Good producers can be good marketers because smart marketing is aided by a thorough understanding of the production process. By analyzing the production process, managers are able to estimate costs of production. Each productive activity involves the use of inputs and services. By listing the activities, you can estimate prices to cover each activity and eventually the whole production process. Table 1, a worksheet for computing the cost of producing corn, provides a framework for estimating costs.
The best source of cost information is an internal review of your own production activities and costs of production. A record keeping program that tracks all of the costs of production provides a historical perspective on costs. These are coupled with estimates of input use and prices for the coming production year to develop a projected cost of production for the coming year.
A good cost-of-production worksheet should contain sections detailing the operating and ownership costs incurred in production. These details give perspective on which costs are cash costs and which are not. Cash costs are those expenses, such as seed and fertilizer, that require cash to be paid to the supplier. Noncash costs include depreciation in equipment and land interest for owned land. An understanding of the nature of the costs (operating and ownership, cash and noncash) helps establish target prices.
The marketing plan, no matter how good, may not be able to lock in prices that cover all costs of production. Key target prices that compensate for critical costs are important to have in years where opportunities to cover all costs are limited.
In the absence of your own cost estimates, you can use published costs of production, such as Missouri Farm Financial Outlook or Farm Management Newsletter, available from MU Extension . However, these sources provide only rough estimates of fixed and variable costs of production and do not have the detail necessary for personal business analysis and marketing.
Table 1
Projected corn cost-of-production worksheet.
The marketing plan
The primary objective of a marketing plan is to cover as many costs of production as possible. Use the cost-of-production estimate discussed above and begin to set target sales prices as follows:
- Estimate the outcome of different pricing alternatives.
- Determine a target and quantity to market.
Estimate different pricing alternatives
Consider several marketing opportunities from cash sales to forward contracts to futures and options. The price worksheet organizes the appropriate information so that the alternatives are easily analyzed. Basis information for your local market is necessary to analyze the futures and options marketing alternatives.
The result of considering all marketing alternatives is to arrive at expected prices for all marketing alternatives. These expected prices can be compared with the cost of production. Whether the current expected prices exceed or are less than the total cost of production, the decision becomes one of marketing a certain percentage of expected production now or taking a risk that a higher price can be obtained at a future date.
Determine a target and quantity to market
Anytime a manager is waiting for a higher price, the possibility of getting a lower price exists. From this perspective, a marketer needs to have both a defensive and an offensive strategy. (See Marketing Plan, Target Price Worksheet.) The offensive position indicates that you will sell when the price rises to a certain level and you are able to cover pertinent costs. The defensive position is the price at which you will sell some of your production in an attempt to lock in income you might otherwise lose.
The target consists of a trigger price and quantity to sell for both an offensive and a defensive position. The trigger price is the price for each marketing alternative that will create a response from the marketer. When the expected price reaches the trigger price for either the offensive or defensive plan, a sale is initiated.
The quantity you decide to sell under each plandetermines how much of the expected production you will market at different times. (See Marketing Plan, Table 2 and Table 3.) Your goal is to maximize the price you receive while minimizing downside price risk.
The follow-through plan
Once the target table is completed, the markets must be watched to determine when either trigger price has been reached. A key to effective marketing under this plan is to have a method of following the markets. Futures prices can be tracked by having continuous market information delivered to your office, using daily or weekly closing prices, or giving your broker or elevator manager authority to conduct the trade.
Because the trade will be initiated at an unknown time in the future, it is necessary to make arrangements that facilitate quick trading. Open any necessary accounts with a broker and banker. Have forward contracts ready to be signed and delivered. When a trigger is pulled, the decision should be easily implemented.
Stick to your plan
Because marketing is an emotional activity, it is important to have someone to keep you accountable to conduct trades at the predetermined triggers. If prices are moving up, the tendency will be to postpone pulling the trigger because a higher price surely is ahead. When prices are moving down, optimism says they will bounce back and you should wait for the rebound. This is not objective marketing.
You set trigger prices in an attempt to capture an acceptable price without undue risk. Because you market only a portion at each target, the price expectations experienced at each trigger can be built into future targets.
Accountability can be obtained by having another person know and understand the marketing plan. Spouses are often in a good position to implement a marketing plan because they may not feel as attached to the production as the person producing the commodity. When the target is reached, your spouse can remind you to initiate a trade. Marketing clubs, brokers and business partners can also serve as reminders to trade. Giving authority to grain traders to initiate a trade at certain targets can also be a way of keeping to the plan.
Aim at a second target
Whenever a trigger is pulled, aim at a second target. Select both offensive and defensive trigger prices, along with quantities to be marketed (repeat steps 1-3 above). The process of setting a target, pulling the trigger at key points and aiming at another target repeats until all of the production is sold.
Marketers need to keep track of what percentage of expected production is forward priced so that they do not oversell as they repeat the marketing plan. Portions of the marketing plan worksheet assist producers in tracking what percentage of expected production is already forward priced.
Marketing tips
The plan described here is an attempt to introduce objectivity into the marketing process. Other things need to occur to market production successfully. The following tips should help make your marketing more successful.
- Don't market all of your production at one time - especially anticipated production. Grain in the field is not as sure as grain in the elevator. Forward price less than 75 percent of your expected production.
- Remember your strengths. Most farmers prefer production to marketing. Focus on production. Market as objectively as possible according to plans.
- Keep an eye on your financial position. Leverage and liquidity problems can wreak havoc on your finances and marketing plans. Having to sell to meet financial obligations is not part of the marketing plan and is not usually the best time to sell.
- Don't get greedy. If you can lock in a profit, do it. It may not be the highest profit, but it is a profit.
- Remember profit is a return to risk. You cannot reduce all risk and still expect to excel in profit.

VPLL 1449 (Reproduction of Hollywood 1449): This dress features tight gathering at the neckline, and short cap sleeves, or bracelet sleeve options. Skirt may be made plain, with center front jabot/cascade skirt, or with gathered peplum.
The instructions are well written, but they are from a vintage pattern, so not everything is spelled out. I would not suggest this as a first or second project, unless you have someone with some vintage pattern experience to help out.
Clearly I am fond of this pattern as I already made a blue version without the peplum.
I was intrigued by the peplum version, so I sewed up another version.
Since I made the dress previously, I did make a couple of fit changes. First, I shortened the sleeves by 2". And I also shortened the skirt by a 1".
I added grosgrain ribbon to the peplum to break up the busy print, and added a bow at the neckline to pull in a bit more purple.
The neckline corners are cut and gathered into a circle. Sewing this technique is a bit awkward, but the finished product is fun and unlike anything I have come across before.
If you are looking for a fun 1940s pattern, this is a great place to start.
More pictures may be found over on my blog, Lilacs and Lace.

Summer Discovery
In 2009, the Jeter's Leaders program formed an exciting partnership with Summer Discovery, one of the country's most popular and finest pre-college enrichment programs. The joint venture awarded four Jeter's Leaders, two from New York and two from Kalamazoo, scholarships to attend Summer Discovery programs at leading colleges and universities in the U.S.
Through the Summer Discovery program, junior Jeter's Leaders attend multiple-week programs at prestigious colleges and universities. Participating colleges are located in close proximity to world-class cultural, entertainment and recreation attractions. During their stay, students take college-level courses and are awarded early credit upon completion. Outside the classroom, students participate in various extracurricular activities, excursions and trips. The Summer Discovery program is a tremendous learning experience for students as they gain a valuable jump-start on the college experience.
The Summer Discovery partnership continues to benefit the selected Jeter's Leaders as it prepares them for the upcoming experiences of college academics and college life. In 2011, Summer Discovery increased participation for Jeter's Leaders from two per program to three, totaling six scholarships per year.
Since its launch in 1996, the Turn 2 Foundation has awarded more than $23 million to create and support signature programs that motivate young people to turn away from drugs and alcohol and "Turn 2" healthy lifestyles. Learn more »

NEW YORK (AP) First midges, now a bat.
Even a trampoline injury.
Joba Chamberlain finds himself in some unusual situations.
``I don't know if I'd hang out with me very much. I might need a bubble,'' Chamberlain said.
Chamberlain was knocked out of Game 4 of the AL division series on Thursday night when the barrel of Matt Wieters' broken bat hit him on the right elbow in the 12th inning. The Baltimore Orioles went on to a 2-1 victory that forced a decisive Game 5 on Friday night, getting the go-ahead run on 13th-inning doubles by Manny Machado and J.J. Hardy against David Phelps.
Yankees manager Joe Girardi won't know until Friday whether his bullpen will include Chamberlain, who has had enough mound misfortunes to fill a horror film.
He was just another normal, hard-throwing young gun before Game 2 of the 2007 division series. Then midges swarmed him on the mound in Cleveland and, with those bugs all around, he threw a tying wild pitch in a game the Indians went on to win 2-1 in 11 innings for a 2-0 series lead.
A torn elbow ligament sidelined him in June 2011, and he was close to his return during spring training when he dislocated his right ankle in a trampoline accident while playing with his son. He finally returned on Aug. 1 - against the Orioles - and developed back into a dependable part of the Yankees' bullpen.
Wieters led off the 12th with a single to left field, and a large piece of his bat went twirling toward the mound and hit Chamberlain's surgically repaired pitching elbow. Chamberlain threw down his glove and bent over in pain.
After he was checked out by trainer Steve Donahue, Chamberlain threw three test pitches and came out, New York concerned about swelling. The Yankees said his elbow was bruised and X-rays were negative.
``You kind of see how it feels tomorrow and go from there,'' Chamberlain said. ``It's definitely not as stiff as it was when it first happened.''

EU Court Of Justice Advocate General: No Right To Be Forgotten; Google Not Responsible For What It Finds
from the getting-it-right dept
In a key lawsuit in Europe that alleges there already is such a right, and that Google needs to somehow scrub links to information that someone finds embarrassing, the advocate-general of the European Court of Justice, Niilo Jaaskinen, has stated clearly that there is no such right under European data and privacy laws and that the courts cannot require Google to remove links under such a claim. Specifically, Jaaskinen looked at the data protection directive in the EU and found:
...the Directive does not establish a general 'right to be forgotten'. Such a right cannot therefore be invoked against search engine service providers on the basis of the Directive, even when it is interpreted in accordance with the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union.Basically, there's a right to fix misleading or incorrect data, not data that is accurate that you just don't like.
The rights to rectification, erasure and blocking of data provided in the Directive concern data whose processing does not comply with the provisions of the Directive, in particular because of the incomplete or inaccurate nature of the data. This does not seem to be the case in the current proceedings
Perhaps more importantly, the filing notes that it's also ridiculous to blame a search engine for finding content that others posted, since the search engine is not responsible for that content. In other words, basic concepts of protection from secondary liability should apply:
In effect, provision of an information location tool does not imply any control over the content included on third party web pages. It does not even enable the internet search engine provider to distinguish between personal data in the sense of the Directive, which relates to an identifiable living natural person, and other data. In his opinion, the internet search engine provider cannot in law or in fact fulfil the obligations of the controller provided in the Directive in relation to personal data on source web pages hosted on third party servers.Of course, this is just the advocate-general's position, and the ECJ could decide to rule otherwise, but it appears to often pay close attention to what the advocate-general submits to the court. Hopefully the court's eventual ruling agrees with this common sense approach, and doesn't create a bogus right to be forgotten and then, even worse, puts the liability on third parties for enforcing it.
Therefore, a national data protection authority cannot require an internet search engine service provider to withdraw information from its index except in cases where this service provider has not complied with the exclusion codes4 or where a request emanating from a website regarding an update of cache memory has not been complied with.

SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--With a shared a commitment to improving the lives of others and making a difference in our community, the YMCA of San Diego County is pleased to announce a partnership with the Challenged Athletes Foundation® (CAF). Beginning Feb. 1, 2013, more than 150 San Diego based physically challenged athletes and their immediate families will receive a complimentary lifetime Y Family Membership.
"Because the Y is for everyone, we bring together children, adults and families of all abilities like no other organization can," said Baron Herdelin-Doherty, President and CEO, YMCA of San Diego County. "We want to give back and support our neighbors. We hope to assist and provide these incredible challenged athletes with the guidance and resources needed to achieve greater health and well-being for spirit, mind and body."
Established in 1997, CAF grew out of a desire to assist one athlete paralyzed in a triathlon. From this modest beginning arose a more important mission to make sure people with physical challenges have the same freedom to enjoy sports as everyone else. Today, the Challenged Athletes Foundation has raised more than $40 million and funded close to 7,000 grant requests from challenged athletes around the world.
Beginning Feb. 5, 2013, qualifying CAF challenged athletes are encouraged to visit their local Y branch to sign up for their family membership. Qualification inquiries can be sent to Travis Ricks at email@example.com.
Belonging to the Y means challenged athletes will be able to find a safe and encouraging environment to participate in sports and physical activities. It will provide a positive atmosphere for their children to learn values, social skills and behaviors, where their family can come together to have fun and spend quality time with each other, connect with friends, pursue interests and learn how to live healthier.

Challenged Athletes Foundation
The Challenged Athletes Foundation® (CAF) is a world leader in helping individuals with physical challenges get involved – and stay involved – in sports. CAF believes that participation in sports at any level increases self-esteem, encourages independence and enhances quality of life. Since 1994, more than $40 million has been raised and almost 7,000 funding requests from challenged athletes in all 50 states and dozens of countries have been satisfied. Additionally, CAF's outreach efforts reach another 60,000 individuals each year. Whether it's a $2,500 grant for a handcycle, helping underwrite a carbon fiber running foot not covered by insurance, or arranging enthusiastic encouragement from a mentor who has triumphed over a similar challenge, CAF's mission is clear: give those with the desire to live active, athletic lifestyles every opportunity to compete in the sports they love.

SUPER cute vickie.
i might have to whip one of these up for miss melanie for christmas.
What a great gift idea but I am afraid it would take me a day and a half just to get my sewing room organized enough to find everything I would need!
What a great gift idea (especially with a baby doll thrown in for good measure!) Thanks.
Oh I love it! Thanks cute lady!
Oh that is just soooooo darn cute!!!! I can't wait until I get grandbabies!!!!
Vickie, Very cute!! Perfect for a little girl's dolly.
Well done…. You have a monderfull "chef" …..
Merry Christams
I'm making one for my daughter!! Thanks for the tutorial! 🙂
Love it! Very cute!!
Adorable Vickie!
Dear Moda Bakeshop,
Please stop posting such wonderful items… Just when I think I am getting on top of my to do list, I visit the latest post and add to my list again.
PS – Vicki this is a sweet little gift… I'll pop one on my list of little girl gifts for the birthday round next year! Thank you!
cute vickie!
LOVE this!
This will be so great!! Now I'll only have to help my daughter wrap up her baby once instead of every five minutes. She will love it as much as I will.
Thanks for this tutorial. I whipped one up last night out of predominantly pink fabrics in my stash. I can testify that it only takes 45 min or so to complete. My little girl will love this for her baby dolls!
hello taht is very sweet,
i love that idee.
greatings conny
Too cute!! I may have to whip one up right quick :-).
OMG! I just love coming to your blog. There is always something exciting to see and try. I made the doll quilt from your tutorial and it came out pretty cute. Now, I am going to try this…only thing is, I'm not sure what top stitching is. This is too darn cute!
This is so cute. I wonder if you could use a split zipper and then sew across the bottom once it was sewn in. That would eliminate the issue of difficult to sew because of the narrowness of the tube. Also, how much larger would it have to be for "newborn" size?

MJF necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 98 diseños de 8 diseñadores freelance.
Fantasy Sport Court
We want a Professional Logo with an Underlying Sports Theme
100 million people are playing fantasy sports world wide at any given moment. People run into disputes over scoring, trades, set-up, rules, and on and on and on.
Our site is about to launch as the #1 dispute resolution site on the web.
we need a logo.
Some of our own thoughts included incorporating the scales of justice. Perhaps Lady Justice herself. We thought of making Lady Justice a Cheerleader or having her holding a baseball bat or hockey stick. Maybe some footballs, baseballs pucks could be on the scales of justice.
Please be creative and keep in mind we are the authority on Fantasy Sports and therefore still need some degree of professionalism in the log.
Our motto would be "Costing Companies Billions in Lost Productivity"
Fantasy sport players - our core target is serious players - guys and girls who follow their teams and play regularly. They are big sports fans and are often quite competitive.
We also want to attract occasional players and moderately competitive leagues (maybe work leagues). The goal is fun but they want to avoid conflict. Therefore outsourcing decisions has value
Finally, although not our core customer, we think there may be some spill over to non competitive leagues where the idea of sending arguments to a third party judge adds an extra element of fun to the league.
We want a clean design - not overly cartoony -- we are open to colors or grayscale with some vibrant colors.

Garmin's vivofit 3 offers Move IQ, which captures different activities, such as walking, running, biking, swimming and using an elliptical, to view on Garmin Connect. No need to switch out your watch or start a new activity, the vívofit 3 recognizes when your movement changes so you can go from a walk to a run in no time. While it's ideal to be moving all throughout the day, that's not always the case. Luckily, vivofit 3 tracks any and all of your movement, including inactivity. So while you might lose track of time and forget to move, vívofit 3 won't. A red move bar appears on the display and a gentle alert sounds after 1 hour of inactivity. The move bar builds every 15 minutes until you reset it by walking for a couple of minutes. It automatically monitors your rest when you go to sleep and is water resistant so you can wear it in the pool or the shower.vívofit 3 learns your current activity level, then assigns an attainable daily goal. As you meet your milestones, vívofit 3 will adjust your goal for the next day, gradually nudging you toward a healthier lifestyle. Throughout your day, vívofit 3 automatically syncs to Garmin Connect. Access Garmin Connect via mobile app or desktop to see your data in more detail, join challenges and compete against others.- Features 1-year battery life- Shows steps, calories, distance, intensity minutes and time of day on backlit display; monitors sleep- Auto activity detection classifies activity type on Garmin Connect- Reminds you to stay active with move bar and audible alert- Automatically syncs to Garmin Connect to save, plan and share progress
