The paper studies energy functionals on quasimetric spaces, defined by quadratic measure-valued Lagrangeans. This general model of medium, known as metric fractals, includes nested fractals and sub-Riemannian manifolds. In particular, the quadratic form of the Lagrangean satisfies Sobolev inequalities with the critical exponent determined by the (quasimetric) homogeneous dimension, which is also involved in the asymptotic distribution of the form's eigenvalues. This paper verifies that the axioms of the metric fractal are preserved by space products, leading thus to examples of non-differentiable media of arbitrary intrinsic dimension.

To Learn More About John McDonald
Recently my wife and I went over to New Hampshire. Arriving Sunday night at a sprawling inn near Mount Manadnock,where I was to participate in a four-day storytelling workshop. It was the most time we'd spent in New Hampshire in some time, and I had a chance to see up close the way they do things over there beyond our western border.
I realized that even though we live in the same part of the country, have the same type of geographic elements -- lots of rocks -- and our populations are pretty similar -- a mix of English, Irish, Scott, Scandinavian and French Canadian -- our two states are quite different. Even though a border can be an arbitrary line drawn on a map it can have a profound effect on what eventually happens on each side of that line. Why do they do things so differently over there to our west?
I began an informal search for a possible answer at the beautiful Peterborough, N.H., Historical Society. For starters, I learned that the society's stately building was made possible through the generosity of a Marshall Field heiress who summered in the area around the beginning of the 20th century. I wondered: Do New Hampshire folks have more generous "summer complaints" than we do? Maybe they're just better at getting money out of them. If our summer visitors were more generous, we might stop calling them complaints. Maybe.
The region we now call New Hampshire was first explored by Martin Pring around 1603 and Samuel de Champlain in 1605. In 1620, the Council for New England, formerly the Plymouth Company, received a royal grant of land between 40 degrees north latitude and 48 degrees north latitude. One of the council's leaders, Sir Ferdinando Gorges, formed a partnership with Capt. John Mason and in 1622 obtained rights between the Merrimack and Kennebec rivers, then called the province of Maine. So we started off together with the same impressive royal land grant.
After the two men had a falling out in 1629, Mason took the area between the Piscataqua and the Merrimack, naming it New Hampshire. Portsmouth was founded in 1630. Through claims based on a misinterpretation of its charter, Massachusetts (who else?) annexed New Hampshire between around 1641 and although New Hampshire was proclaimed a royal colony in 1679, Massachusetts continued to press land claims until the two colonies finally agreed on the eastern and southern boundaries. Maybe that's the first thing we did wrong. We never insisted on being recognized as a royal colony. Although New Hampshire and Massachusetts were technically "independent" of each other, the crown insisted on appointing a single man to govern both colonies. Maine never had a royal governor. Some say we never got over it.
The French and Indian Wars had prevented colonization in both Maine and New Hampshire, but after the war, they say, a land rush began in the Granite Colony. Lumber camps were set up and sawmills were built along the streams. The Scotch-Irish settlers had already started the textile industry by growing flax and weaving linen. By the time of the Revolution many of the inhabitants had tired of British rule and were eager for independence. In December 1774, a band of patriots overpowered Fort William and Mary (later Fort Constitution) and secured the arms and ammunition for their cause.
New Hampshire was the first colony to declare its independence from Great Britain and to establish its own government in January of 1776. It was the ninth and last necessary state to ratify the new Constitution of the United States in 1788. New Hampshire's northern boundary was fixed in 1842 the same way Maine's was -- with the Webster-Ashburton Treaty.
All the other political and cultural differences would come later, like their thing about the Old Man of the Mountain, their first in the nation lottery, their coveted first in the nation primary and all the rest of it.
Could Martin Pring be responsible for all our differences? Could be.

Not only is the mystery of who "A" is enough to keep you coming back, the interiors of the homes the girls live in are really quite beautiful ... as is the fictional town setting of Rosewood, Pa., a wealthy commuter suburb of Philadelphia. One room in particular, where many scenes are filmed, is the family room adjacent a kitchen in the home of Spencer Hastings, the preppy rich girl of the group.
The kitchen is open to the family room, and has walls clad in a soft taupe-y green subway tile. The black perimeter cabinets have a walnut butcherblock counter top, and the large island looks to be oak, topped in 3" thick creme marble. I love the barstools, old iron soda shop stools topped in polished oak seats.
The appliances are stainless. Here you can see the veining in the marble. So pretty! There are also quite a few cabinets that have glass panes, showing off the ironstone collections and blue and white asian ginger jars and spode plates. Unfortunately, the rest of the house isn't something we get to see in Season 1, if ever, but we get a few peeks into the gallery like hallway/foyer off the kitchen through solid french doors.
The window wall of the kitchen has open shelving, painted white and piled high with copper, blue and white, and ironstone casserole dishes. All of the windows are clad with bamboo roman shades, my favorite. I also love how the white farmsink is raised from the top of the counter top. Did you notice?
The only television in the space is the small television on a swivel on the far wall of the kitchen. The french doors of the family room lead out onto the patio of the backyard, where a barn redone as a loft plays home to Spencer's sister Melissa, and her season 1 husband, Ian.
A view of the subway tile, and the super thick counter on the island. I'm really in love with this kitchen. Can you tell? Sometimes you can see a pot rack hanging over the island:
And then sometimes there isn't:
The roof line above the cabinets, beamed and raw. You get the idea that this room has a cathedral ceiling, but this is the only photo I could snap from the entire first season to see any of it. These aren't in chronological order, either. You can see already that this space has seen some changes. Note the stove hood in this photo. Got it? Check out this one:
Much larger. Also a rare view of the family room from this angle. My favorite piece in this space is the burlap covered settee. Isn't it gorgeous?
Beautiful right? To the right of the fireplace is a small desk and desk chair, to the left a tibetan statue. The carving of the stone is really beautiful, too!
Nice right? You get the idea that Spencer's family hired a designer to decorate their home. Her mother and father are both attorneys, and are rarely home. In fact, you only see Spencer's father in the first couple of episodes of season 1.
A daytime view. A pretty rare one. Most of the time the daylight scenes of Spencer's home are in the kitchen, and the nighttime view shows the family room. Here you get to see more of the interesting art in the family room. A carved chair in the corner, beneath two beautifully carved and colorwashed wallcoverings; the gingerbread porch railing, the statue, fireplace screen, and fireplace accessories.
The carved panels up close. Well, as close as the camera gets. You can also see the stone carvings on the fireplace corbels. My next house will definitely have to have one of these.
Opposite of the burlap settee is the linen tufted sofa, and two square metal and glass end tables turned coffee table. The french doors are treated as windows, with silk curtains, the same shade as the wall color.
More of that sofa, with a striped silk pillow. The pillows on the sofa change a lot during the first season. You can go back through and check them out. I happen to like the first set (these) than any of the others.
And behind the sofa, this x-frame console has great accessories, including old windows turned mirrors. So as you can see, the interiors are enough to suck you in, but the storyline is even better! Five friends turn four, when one disappears and then a body is found. Then a mysterious character, or group of characters calling themselves "A" and pretending to be the disappeared, threatens to expose serious secrets of the group if they don't follow along in the series of dramatic and convoluted ploys.
If you have netflix streaming, you can check out the entire first season - which is what I did, spending way too much time in front of the television and no time at all in front of the sewing machine. I'll be back soon with updates ... on something, I'm sure!

Revision as of 17:04, September 30, 2012
A National (Scout) Jamboree is a gathering (or a 'jamboree') of thousands of members of the Boy Scouts of America, usually held every four years and organized by the National Council of the Boy Scouts of America. Referred to as "the Jamboree", "Jambo", or NSJ, Scouts from all over the nation and world have the opportunity to attend. They are considered to be one of several unique experiences that the Boy Scouts of America offers. The first jamboree was held in 1937 in Washington, D.C. 1937 and attracted 25,000 Scouts, who camped around the Washington Monument and Tidal Basin. The event was covered extensively by national media and attended by President Franklin D. Roosevelt.
Jamborees have been held in a number of locations including Valley Forge, Pennsylvania, Idaho, and since 1981, the jamboree has been located Fort A.P. Hill, Virginia. The new permanent site of the national jamboree will be at The Summit Bechtel Reserve starting in 2013 with the inaugural 2013 National Jamboree.
The jamboree program reflects the skills of Scouting—physical fitness, environmental conservation, our national heritage, and the true spirit of Scouting. Scouts enjoy rappelling, discovering scuba, kayaking, rafting, sailing, trap shooting, archery, bikeathlons, buckskin games, confidence courses, conservation trail, and more.
Daily activities include the merit badge midway with typically 80 offerings, a re-creation of Robert Baden-Powell's original Scout camp on Brownsea Island, entertainment stages, and more. The arena shows are a highlight for all participants.
A jamboree is held for ten consecutive days and offers many activities for youth participants and the 300,000 members of the general public who visit it. The jamboree is Scouting at its very best!

text: Interoperable Receiver. The Order characterizes the Applicants' interpretation of the Commission's interoperability requirement as "not unreasonable" to excuse their earlier failure to develop and market interoperable receivers. The Applicants' noncompliance created switching costs for consumers and, thus, limited pre-merger competition between the Applicants. Adding this condition today is virtually meaningless, because the merged entity will have every incentive to offer interoperable devices anyway. The point was to enforce the requirement before, not after, the merger. Doing it now is clearly a case of closing the barn door after the cows got out. At least the Order recognizes that this claimed benefit simply cannot be deemed merger-specific.

In 1946, when delegates from 51 nations convened for the first time as the United Nations, a West Mt. Airy artist was there to capture the momentous occasion. On view at Woodmere Art Museum from March 30 to April 28, the exhibition "The Promise of Peace: Violet Oakley's United Nations Portraits" focuses on this important series of portraits, shedding light on a significant moment in our history: when peace among nations became a worldwide political priority. "The Promise of Peace" is part of the Philadelphia International Festival of the Arts 2013 (PIFA).
One of the giants in Philadelphia art history, Oakley (1874-1961) was an independent, self-described "pilgrim seeking peace" who achieved great success in a male-dominated profession. These stately portraits showcase Oakley's lifelong dedication to the promotion of peace and world harmony, and are among the most historically significant works in Woodmere's collection. Works include a portrait of Trygve Halvdan Lie, the first Secretary General of the U.N., among other representatives from China, France, Haiti, India, Iran, Lebanon, Mexico and Poland.
Oakley was the first American woman to receive a public mural commission. During the first quarter of the 20th century, she was renowned as a pathbreaker in mural decoration, a field that had previously been exclusively practiced by men. Oakley excelled at murals and stained glass designs that addressed themes from history and literature in Renaissance-revival styles.
Oakley was commissioned to paint a series of 43 murals in the Pennsylvania State Capitol Building in Harrisburg for the Governors Grand Reception Room, the Senate and the Supreme Court. In the 14 reception room murals, Oakley depicted the story of William Penn and the founding of Pennsylvania. She conducted extensive research on the subject, even traveling to England.
The series of murals was unveiled in the new Capitol Building in November, 1906, shortly after the dedication of the building. The mammoth project took Oakley 16 years to complete. She also painted "Great Women of the Bible" murals for the First Presbyterian Church in Germantown and "David and Goliath" for the library at Chestnut Hill Academy.
Oakley received many honors throughout her life including an honorary Doctorate of Laws Degree in 1948 from Drexel Institute. In 1905, she became the first woman to receive the Gold Medal of Honor from the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts.
Oakley and her two friends, the artists Elizabeth Shippen Green and Jessie Willcox Smith, were named the "Red Rose Girls" by Howard Pyle, a legendary illustrator at Drexel Institute. The three female illustrators received this nickname while they lived together in the Red Rose Inn in Villanova from 1899 to 1901.
In 1905, Ms. Oakley and three other woman artists were urged by Dr. George Woodward, developer of Chestnut Hill, to come to the Chestnut Hill area to live and work. As a result, the "Red Rose Girls," along with Henrietta Cozens, moved to a stately home at 627 St. George's Road in West Mt. Airy, just off Allens Lane, that they named Cogslea after their four surnames (Cozens, Oakley, Green and Smith).
Cogslea was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1977 as the "Violet Oakley Studio." The studio was originally part of a farmstead on Creshiem Creek. The barn building on the property was built around 1815 but was rebuilt and modernized for the four female artists.
Along with the exhibition, Woodmere will host more than 15 special events capturing the essence of the mid-1940s, in partnership with PIFA: the museum's Friday Night Jazz series, including "Peace Treaty: Dizzy Gillespie and Louis Armstrong" (April 5), "Hope for the Future: Bebop and Jazz of the 1940s" (April 12) and more; the April lecture series "Advocates for Peace," including a talk by Ambassador Joseph M. Torsella (April 15); and Tuesday night movie screenings of "The King's Speech" (April 2), "North by Northwest" (April 16).
Also on view at Woodmere this March, "Charles Searles: A Focus on the Figure" (March 25-June 15) is a focused investigation of Charles Searles' early works that showcase the acclaimed African-American artist's interest in the human figure, including portrayals of his family, images inspired by some of the urban characters he encountered in Philadelphia and his nude model series.
In addition, at the Helen Millard Children's Gallery, "Inspired: Works by Students from Plymouth Meeting Friends School" (March 17-May 5) displays artwork by students who were inspired by the creativity of various cultural communities.
Woodmere Art Museum is located at 9201 Germantown Ave. Admission to special exhibitions is $10 for adults, $7 for seniors, and free for students, children and museum members; exhibitions in the Founders' Gallery and Helen Millard Children's Gallery are free. Woodmere also offers free admission on Sundays.
For more information, visit woodmereartmuseum.org or call 215-247-0476.

Dynamic Results necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 325 diseños de 19 diseñadores freelance.
I am a very successful personal trainer with 9 years experience and several celebrity clients, including Jillian Michael's from NBC's hit show *"The Biggest Loser"*.
I am launching a website that will host a blog, forum, marketing system and software product for personal trainers. This website will help personal trainers get better clients, build their career, make more money, have more freedom, and give their clients better results.
The products have already been endorsed by Jillian and have tested very successfully in several beta tests. The goal is to take over the "personal training business" market with a very professional, cutting edge website and blog. The first step is a very nice logo.
The logo will be "PersonalTrainingBusiness.com" with the first letter of each word capitalized. The catch phrase/tagline is "Better Clients, More Money, Awesome Results." but does not necessarily have to be included in the logo/design.We want to exude professional success and credibility.
Age: 28-45
Sex: Male & Female
Location: USA, CANADA, AUSTRALIA, ENGLAND
Family Status: Single or married without kids
Income: 30K – 60K/year
Job: personal trainer or fitness class instructor, working in a gym as an employee and/or at a private training studio and/or doing house calls, working anywhere from 12-45 hours/week.
Years Experience: 2-7 years
Biggest Frustrations: bad clients (inconsistent, not dedicated, boring, indifferent, lazy, etc), inconsistent pay and work, pushy gym managers who only care about sales, and gimmicky marketers who try to help them with their business by selling them cheap info products.
1. We want to come across as very professional, cutting edge, and organized, without being intimidating.
2. The typeface should be clear, simple, bold & stand out. The first letter of each word should be capitalized.
3. Please do not use any stock images or clip art.
4. Please do not use dollar signs/get rich quick imagery. We do want to
convey the idea of success, mastery, freedom, and wealth.
5. Designs may have a graphic/picture & logo combined together, as long as it is very legible, appropriate, and looks crisp. A graphic/pic is not required though.
6. Stacking the words "personal training business" on top of each other maybe a great way to make the logo more digestible and direct, but other layouts are welcome too. However, either stack all 3, or stack "personal training" on top of "business", don't stack "personal" on top of "training business". Please use the ".com"
7. We want to convey the idea that a personal trainer is someone who really cares about people, someone who loves to work out, and helps people change their lives.
8. Use of exercise equipment pictures within the logo is discouraged.
Please see attached document for more requirements. Thanks.

I have changed what I eat, when I eat it, and how I train as a direct result of my conversation with Tim Lawson, the founder of Science in Sport.
Not bad for one fifty minute phone call!
If you find this useful, please click a few of the advert links, it really does help. Thank you!
The principles apply to most off-season training, so I'm passing on this information in the hope it will be useful to other cyclists. I wrote about it here and there's more in the video below.
The phone chat took place before Christmas. I've not had much time to put it all into practice. Snow and ice in December, travelling for the holidays, and a knee and hip injury have interfered.
Recently my first free products from Science in Sport arrived - there's a list here. This is clearly what SiS believes is a good package for Off-Season training. In the video I discuss how I've been advised to use them.
But there are some items I'm not sure about. So I'll soon have another chat with an SiS Nutrition expert after which I'll,once again, pass on all I know. Another member of the SiS Winter Academy has also written about her experiences.

Welcome to MOO Meets, a series of interviews probing the minds of some of the most successful business entrepreneurs and start-up founders in the world. We want to find out what makes them tick, and how you can apply some of their knowledge to your own fledgling businesses. And where better to start than with our very own CEO?
Hi Richard. Do you remember the exact moment, often referred to as a "eureka" moment, that you had the idea for MOO?
I was in bed, and I couldn't sleep. At the time I was working as a strategic planner for a big design company which was great, but I often felt like my ideas got lost and I had no voice, and clearly that kept me awake at night – I couldn't even get through the corporate red tape enough to get the office a new coffee machine! Anyway I let my mind wander to product ideas that I could successfully bring to the market – my version of counting sheep! At that point, I wasn't even considering the idea of profit or business – it was all about the product. And then I came up with the idea to reinvent the business card.
I think that the drive to start a new business is based on a strong emotion, whether that emotion is anger, revenge, frustration, love for a product. Its all about push and pull. If you believe in a product or service, you're pulled towards it. For me, my frustration at my position pushed me towards creating my own company. I wanted to do my own thing, and I was excited by the idea of being my own boss.
In an increasingly digital world, why choose print?
Over the years, I have grown to love, defend and respect print, but at first, I admit that this business was not born through a love of the product but more that that I knew I had a good idea. But the UK is actually world renown for its stationery, and I have come to feel very affectionate towards print. Lots of technology today aims to kill the print industry – not maliciously, but because they see it as progressive. I stand up for the print industry, but with a forward thinking approach to its growth. Other people go for "faster" and "cheaper" as positives, but I'm more interested in "better" and "different".
Technology is not the enemy though; it enables everything we do, as all our products are created and transferred digitally. Design is totally key is the process, with a view to making the finished products impactful – and print is the right medium to do so. It's the holy trinity of technology, design and paper.
From the idea to the execution, how easy was it to get MOO started?
It wasn't easy at all because I had to get financial backing and I was 25 years old with no contacts in the business world. I asked my dad to help me find investors and he asked his friends, who asked their friends, which led eventually to my first meeting, with my father's business partner's next door neighbour's friend, a man called Robin Klein, who invited me to a 7.30am and patiently sat through a 200-slide presentation (I worked out later 5 slides to explain one single concept would have sufficed!) on Business Cards.
But investors actually look for two things – the kernel of a great idea, and the right person to carry it forward, and I think he saw those things in me. I had the idea in August 2003, I left my job in May 2004, and by August 2004 I had £150,000 invested from Klein and his son Saul (founder of LoveFilm) and my own company, Pleasure Cards.
What do you wish you'd known when you started in that first year?
I'm surprised I didn't realize that the company name "Pleasure Cards" sounded as dodgy as it did! But truthfully, I don't regret it because the second incarnation of my business, MOO, is a total rejection of everything Pleasure Cards was, and that wouldn't have been made clear to me had I not created the first company and made so many mistakes. The Americans have a saying "Fail fast" or more accurately, fail early – so you can see where improvements are needed with relatively little financial impact on your business. It's a good way to learn from your mistakes.
I wouldn't change anything because if you look at your company like a comic book superhero, then you're going to need a super villain to push it to greater heights, and Pleasure Cards was definitely the villain of the story.
At one point we were clearing about 3K a month – that's a hobby, not a business, and I refused to see it. If I'd listened to my investors sooner, I could have moved on and started making money quicker. Eventually though, I snapped out of it, swallowed my pride and took advice from people who'd invested in many successful companies and knew better than me. So a big lesson at that point was, not necessarily "listen to people", but listen to the right people.
Were there any teething problems that stand out in your mind?
The first batch of MiniCard boxes I ordered, from a plastics company called SB Weston, was a disaster. I had a specific design in mind but the first 1000 came out looking like mini bowties – the manufacturer hadn't cooled the plastic quickly enough. But that was ok – we got it right, and ordered about 15,000 of them. We shipped off about 1000 as promos, and just assumed that we'd get through the rest of them in no time, as they were taking up a lot of room in our office. I even remember saying to the plastics manufacturer "Just you wait. We'll be back, and we'll be ordering triple!". And he just looked at me with this knowing smile. He wasn't wrong – we had so few orders in the first months, we were tripping over piles of MiniCard boxes for months, a constant reminder that a business is nothing without customers!
What advice would you give anyone starting a new business?
We're a venture backed high growth technology business, so let's just assume anyone taking advice from me is involved in a similar business or it might not apply!- Watch your cash carefully and always know how much you have. So many businesses fail in the first year because they overspend and don't take care of their cash flow. - Get the right advisors, especially if you're a rookie. You can't know everything, but you can know whom you're getting advice from - check out their references and make sure you trust them - Get a great team around you early on with whom you share a kind of mental shorthand, so that you can translate an image or idea in your head into something real using their expertise. It's like a telepathy, a private language – if you don't have that with your team, it simply won't work. - Know that you can't – and shouldn't – do everything. Learn when to delegate, when to let go of the reigns and let someone more qualified take over. If you hold on too tight, it'll break. I remember the day I took Illustrator off my computer and finally allowed our new art director to do her job.
And finally, what is your definition of success?
Simply put, it's having goals and achieving them, and being able to turn what's in your head fluently and perfectly into reality.
But in reality, success is defined by what you consider important and money was never a motivator for me. So if profit is traditionally the defacto measurement for success, then I define success in business as a company that functions in a genius, innovative method, turning nothing into something with only a germ of an idea to start with. Businesses that make their mark on the world are something to aspire to.
Richard Moross is the founder and CEO of MOO

Red Lion Restaurant officials -- who watched their longtime overpass wash into Boulder Creek last week -- celebrated erecting a temporary bridge Friday with an afternoon wedding and then set their sights on building a permanent replacement that will keep the restaurant open for years.
Red Lion owner Chris Mueller said he's decided to pay $100,000 out of his retirement savings for a permanent two-way overpass to replace the old one that was destroyed. He expects the new structure to be in place within three months.
For the interim, restaurant officials and construction crews spent Thursday night into early Friday laying down a massive temporary bridge made of modified railroad flatcar steel. The temporary bridge made it possible for the restaurant to hold its two planned weddings this weekend, and Mueller said he expects the Red Lion will open to the general public next week.
Everyone involved in the Red Lion's two weddings this weekend -- one Friday and one Saturday -- must walk across the unrefined overpass because it's not yet safe for driving, but Mueller said that's better than having to move or cancel the weddings.
"They are very spirited," Mueller said of his brides. "They said they are making history by being the first ones at the Red Lion to walk over the bridge."
Guardrails are being installed, and Mueller said the short-term bridge should be open to vehicle traffic and able to handle large delivery and garbage trucks by next week.
The private bridge to the 47-year-old Boulder Canyon business collapsed June 8 under the pressure of high water levels in Boulder Creek. The bridge collapse created flooding concerns, and emergency crews spent the day removing remains of the partially washed-out bridge from the creek to make sure water wasn't backed up long enough to create a surge.
Mueller originally said the historic restaurant might have to close if Boulder County didn't share the cost of a new bridge. He changed his tune Friday and said he's decided to pay for the new overpass to keep the restaurant in business.
The lack of a bridge caused the Red Lion to relocate three weddings and two rehearsal dinners last weekend, costing about $100,000 in losses. But the restaurant worked with Boulder County all week to get rushed permits for the temporary bridge in hopes of saving this weekend's two weddings.
"This is a big step for the Red Lion," said Dave Webster, project manager for the county.
Pam Ertl, whose son got married at the Red Lion on Friday, said -- after carefully crossing the raging creek via the temporary bridge -- that she was thrilled the restaurant found a short-term solution by the big day, even if it meant shuttling people, presents and wedding gowns on golf carts.
"They have been going above and beyond to take care of everything," she said.
Ertl said the engaged couple was worried they wouldn't get to marry at the venue of their choice.
"I think my son was more worried than the bride," Ertl said. "They had looked for a while and felt it best suited them."
Security personnel escorted dozens of wedding guests safely over the bridge Friday -- towing cakes, flowers and food as well. The bride arrived about two hours before the ceremony in a veil and summer dress.
"Don't forget the dress," one woman called to her, as she grabbed the pink bag protecting her gown out of the shuttle they all rode up in.
Sam Smith, the wedding DJ, said he can't recall ever playing for a wedding that required an emergency steel bridge. But, Smith said, he was just glad to have the bridge and a golf cart to help him over the raging creek.
"I was kind of sweating it," Smith said.

Justin Bieber + Selena Gomez Continue to Squash Breakup Rumors With Dinner Date
For a couple that is supposedly broken up, Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez sure spend a lot of time together. Especially in public places, like restaurants, where the paparazzi will swarm and take photos of their "togetherness."
Biebs and Sel -- or Jelena, if you prefer -- reportedly dined at Benihanna in Los Angeles on Monday (Nov. 19), a day after the Biebs left his lady love out of all of his American Music Awards speeches, further fueling rumors that they were O to the V to the E to the R. Then they were spotted clutching hands after the ceremony, eradicating the idea that they were broken up.
For the love of God, will one of them send a tweet confirm their status? And yes, we do deserve to know what goes on in their personal lives. They're celebs! They've signed up for this type of media scrutiny.
Sel looked adorbs in an army jacket, gold hoop earrings and nerdy black glasses, while her "BF" wore shades and a red backpack.
We remain forever clouded and confused by their status. But what we do know is that they are communicating, since they are having dinners and holding hands. If they are broken up, things are not ugly. If they never broke up, then score one for them for managing to keep their silences as the media speculates.

Made these for the Christmas market next Saturday, but they are so sweet I'd quite like to keep them for myself.
A few details on how I made them. First up the heart shape was traced from the some cutters I have, the hearts come in 3 sizes and I used the larger two sizes. The large heart s about 5 1/4" across, the smaller about 3 1/2". The first attempt I tried sewing the right sides together and turning through, but the fabric is very bulky now it is felted and was rather lumpy when turned, so I tried in wrong sides together and liked the look much better.
Cut 2 heart shapes from your felted wool fabric, you could also use boiled wool scraps, felt or fleece, but has to be something that wouldn't fray too badly. Cut a ribbon hanging loop, fold it over and tuck it between the layers, and put one pin through it. Next pin all the way around the edge through both layers, once you have pinned about 3/4s of the way round stuff the heart with soft toy stuffing, poking into place with a finger. Now pin the last section and make sure no stuffing is spilling out. You might find you need a lot of pins. Use ones with large heads so you can locate them to pull them out as you sew.
Starting at the bottom point work round anticlockwise sewing just outside the pin line to ensure no stuffing gets caught in the stitching. Dip down at the V of the heart to get a nice shape (don't sew straight across) and sew round the other side back to the point pulling out the pins as you go. Cut off your threads and trim round the edge with shears. Squish the heart a bit to distribute the filling nicely and give it a happy shape. Hang on Christmas tree, from hook or even on a door knob. Enjoy!!!

FORT MYERS, Fla. (Feb. 8, 2008) -- Owners of a five-game winning streak and in the hunt for an Atlantic Sun Conference regular season championship, the ETSU men's basketball team takes to the road for a crucial two-game league road swing this weekend.
The red hot Buccaneers will look to stay warm in sunny Florida, as the Bucs meet new A-Sun member Florida Gulf Coast for the first time ever at 7 p.m. Friday night. The game will air on ASun.TV
ETSU (13-9, 7-2) best not overlook an Eagles squad that had posted a 4-5 league mark and several Division I wins despite moving up from Division II last season. The Bucs will feature two-time A-Sun Player of the Week Kevin Tiggs (Flint, Mich.), who moved to the top of the Bucs' scoring (15.7 ppg) and rebound (6.1 rpg) lists earlier this week thanks to several solid efforts in recent games.
For more on the game, click the game notes link located above, or read the game notes below. Fans wishing to follow the game live on the radio Friday night can click on the audio link for the MSHA Buccaneer Sports Network located above.
Buc Shots
A seven-time NCAA Tournament and two-time NIT participant, the ETSU Buccaneers enter the 2007-08 season coming off a regular season Atlantic Sun Conference championship with a 24-10 overall record, and a 16-2 league mark a year ago ... The Bucs return the 2006-07 A-Sun Player of the Year in junior guardCourtney Pigram (Memphis), as well as the A-Sun Coach of the Year Murry Bartow and All A-Sun Freshman team pick Mike Smith (Vandalia, Mo.) ... Along with returning players like Pigram and Smith, the Bucs also return significant contributors to last season's success such as senior post Andrew Reed (Port Richey, Fla.), senior forward Kenyona Swader (Smyrna), and senior guard Travis Strong (Memphis) ... Newcomers for the Bucs that are expected to contribute early and often include junior college transfer Kevin Tiggs (Flint, Mich.), who was the JuCo Division II National Player of the Year last season, and lightning quick JuCo point guard Jocolby Davis (Meridian, Miss.) ... Several Bucs are currently leading A-Sun statistical categories, see page 6 of this notebook for more information on those players and their rank ... In addition, see where the Bucs ranks as a team and individually on the national charts on Page 4.
The series against the Eagles
This will be the first meeting between the Bucs and Eagles.
Last time out
JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Feb. 3, 2008)- With ETSU holding a comfortable 13-point advantage midway through the first half, this game between the Buccaneers and Atlantic Sun Conference rival Kennesaw State did not have the same intensity of the previous four matches between the two schools. But it did not stay that way ... After the Owls overcame the 13-point deficit to take a 31-29 lead at the halftime break, a fiery second half that featured a couple of minor scuffles, a technical foul, and a stingy ETSU fullcourt defense resulted in a 72-66 ETSU win in front of 3,287 fans at Memorial Center ... The ETSU offense was clicking early in the game, as the Bucs pulled out to a lead of as many as 13 points at 24-11 with just over eight minutes left in the first half. However, from there Kennesaw State went to its 3-point attack, hitting on 7-of-13 from beyond the arc to outscore the Bucs 20-5 the rest of the way and lead 31-29 at the break ... In the second half, the two teams traded baskets early, but the Bucs went to the full court pressure and the result was a 12-0 burst by the Bucs that made it 51-39 with 11:39 left in the game. ETSU held much of that lead for the next four minutes, but KSU rallied with a 6-0 spurt of its own to pull to within three at 59-56 with 5:23 remaining. But that would be as close as Kennesaw State could get as the Bucs hit their foul shots down the stretch to finish with a six-point cushion ... For the game, ETSU got a team high 18 points and eight rebounds from junior forward Kevin Tiggs (Flint, Mich.), while senior guard Travis Strong (Memphis) and junior guard Courtney Pigram (Memphis) scored 13 and 10, respectively. Sophomore guard Mike Smith (Vandalia, Mo.) also had a big night on the boards, matching Tiggs with eight rebounds and helping the Bucs to a 38-30 advantage over KSU in that statistical category ... In the second half, ETSU shot 50 percent from the field and held the Owls to just 38 percent after allowing Kennesaw State to shoot 44 percent in the first half. ETSU grabbed 11 steals and forced 16 turnovers ... Kennesaw State was led by a game-high 28 points from Wooten, while Shuan Stegall and Keonte Keith added 11 points apiece.
Tiggs wins second A-Sun POTW honor
MACON, Ga. (Feb. 4, 2008)- ETSU junior forward Kevin Tiggs (Flint, Mich.) became the first player this season to win multiple Atlantic Sun Player of the Week awards after averaging a double-double, 22.0 points per game and 10.0 rebounds, in leading the Buccaneers to a pair of home wins, the conference office announced on Monday ... Tiggs kept the Buccaneers in a tie with Belmont, one game behind Jacksonville in the A-Sun by shooting 60 percent from the floor, 66.7 percent from the 3-point arc and 85.7 percent at the line ... In Friday night's CSS Game of the Week, Tiggs, a business major, turned in one of the best performances of the season, scoring 26 points and grabbing 12 rebounds for his third double-double of the season, in leading ETSU past Mercer for the sixth time in as many meetings. Seven of his 12 rebounds came at the offensive end. He connected on 11-of-16 shooting and on both of his 3-point attempts. Two days later, he scored 14 of his 18 points in the second half as ETSU won for the fifth straight game, defeating the upset-minded Kennesaw State Owls, 72-66. Tiggs did most of his damage from the charity stripe, making 10-of -12, 8-10 in the second half ... Tiggs, the 2007 NJCAA Coaches Association Division II National Player of the Year, has thrived in his first year in the A-Sun, averaging 15.7 points per game and 6.1 rebounds per game. He ranks second in the A-Sun in field goal percentage at 56.0. He increased his stats across the board over his last six games, averaging 19.0 points per game and 8.0 rebounds per game while shooting 60.0 percent from the floor.
Tiggs taking over
With his second A-Sun Player of the Week honor now in his possession, junior forwardKevin Tiggs (Flint, Mich.) is certainly making an impression on the ETSU basketball program and the Atlantic Sun Conference in his first season wearing the Blue and Gold ... After several strong performances, Tiggs now leads the Bucs in both scoring (15.7 ppg), rebounding (6.1 rpg) and steals (1.6) ... In the league, he ranks second in field goal percentage (56 percent) and is sixth in free throw percentage (80 percent) ... This season, he has already posted three double-doubles, and has reached double figures in scoring 13 times this season.
Bucs to play Tennessee Tech in ESPN BracketBusters
The ETSU men's basketball team will play host to former Ohio Valley Conference rival and in-state foe Tennessee Tech as part of the annual ESPN BracketBuster Saturday, Feb. 23 at 4 p.m. inside Memorial Center ... The Buccanneers (13-9, 7-2 Atlantic Sun) and the Golden Eagles (10-15, 7-8) have met 66 times in a series that dates back to 1923. The two teams are tied in the series 33-33, but the Bucs have enjoyed three straight wins, with the last meeting coming in 2004 ... "This will be a good late season test for our team as we prepare for our conference tournament," said ETSU head coach Murry Bartow, whose team is currently enjoying a five-game winning streak. "We have a long tradition against Tennessee Tech, and this will be a fun matchup for our fans that remember the days in the OVC. Having a return trip next year to Tennessee Tech will also give our fans a non-conference game they can travel to easily." For more on Tennessee Tech, visitwww.ttusports.com.
Swader, Strong power resurgent offense
During their present four game winning streak, the Buccaneers have found their rythm on offense thanks in great part to the shooting of senior forwardKenyona Swader (Smyrna) and senior guard Travis Strong (Memphis) ... In going 5-0, the Bucs are averaging 83.6 points a game ... Individually, Swader is averaging 14.8 points and 7.0 rebounds a game, while Strong is averaging 13.6 points a game ... As for percentage shooting, Strong is 19-of-21 from the foul line (91 percent) and is hitting 41 percent from beyond 3-point range ... Meanwhile, Swader is connecting on 64 percent from the floor and 56 percent from 3-point range.
Bucs' RPI, Strength of Schedule rank among best in nation
Though the Bucs are now 13-9 on the year, the team's slow start is understandable when considering ETSU played an exceptionally tough early season schedule ... As of Jan. 21 the Buccaneers' strength of schedule (SOS) ranked 74th in the country according to RealtimeRPI.com ... That SOS rank is obvious when looking at the RPI of ETSU's opponents in the early season schedule, which included -- at the time -- St. Mary's (4th), Dayton (7th) and Syracuse (11th) ... In fact, until just recently the Bucs SOS was as high at 18th in the country, before entering conference play ... As for RPI, the Bucs rank a respectable 137th out of 342 Division I teams.
Home Sweet Dome
Since the 1996-97 season, the Buccaneers are an amazing 116-37 inside Memorial Center, good for a winning percentage of 76 percent ... The Bucs had won five straight at Memorial Center during the 2006-07 season before a loss to Belmont (1/2) ... The Bucs then rattled off 10 straight at home to stand at 15-1 on the Memorial Center floor that season, but fell to Belmont in the final game of the year in the championship of the A-Sun Tournament ... This year, the Bucs are 9-1 at Memorial Center.
The Bucs at the Rainbow Classic
Spending a week in Hawaii during the winter months is always enjoyable, but ETSU's second trip ever to the Rainbow Classic was a bittersweet experience ... While the Bucs picked up their first win over a Southeastern Conference opponent since 1991-92 with a 76-58 victory over Georgia in the first round, the team finished the trip 1-2 after falling in back-to-back games to St. Mary's and Louisiana-Lafayette ... While the St. Mary's game was expected to be difficult -- considering the Gaels were ranked No. 2 in the RPI -- the 82-80 overtime loss to a 3-7 Lafayette team kept the Bucs from evening their season record to 6-6 coming home from the islands ... In two trips to the Rainbow, the Bucs are now 2-4 all time.
Another championship banner
With a win against Stetson (2/22), the Bucs wrapped up an outright 2006-07 A-Sun regular season title and garnered the No. 1 seed in the week's league championship tournament ... For ETSU, it was the continuation of a recent string of success that dates back to the 2000-2001 season ... In all, the Bucs have captured championships in five of the last seven seasons, including back-to-back NCAA Tournament trips in 2002-03 and 2003-04, and a trip to the NIT in 2006-07 ... Here is the championship breakdown:
2000-2001-- Southern Conference North Division Championship
2001-2002 -- SoCon North Division championship
2002-2003 -- SoCon North Division championship; SoCon Tournament Championship
2003-2004 -- SoCon North Division championship, SoCon Regular Season Championship, SoCon Tournament Championship
2006-2007 -- Atlantic Sun Conference Regular Season Championship
New starting five
During the Bucs recent trip to the Rainbow Classic, head coach Murry Bartow used a completely new starting five, with junior guardJocolby Davis (Meridian, Miss.), junior guard Courtney Pigram (Memphis), sophomore guard Mike Smith (Vandalia, Mo.), junior forward Kevin Tiggs (Flint, Mich.) and senior forward Andrew Reed (Port Richey, Fla.) ... While that group went only 1-2 on the trip, they did pick up the win over SEC foe Georgia and lost a close overtime battle with Louisiana-Lafayette ... However, the Bucs reshuffled the lineup again versus Appalachian State, moving Pigram to the point position, and inserting seniors Travis Strong (Memphis) and Kenyona Swader (Smyrna) to go with Tiggs and Reed ... That starting five is now 3-1 on the year, but the starting lineup was shuffled once again Thursday night against Belmont, as junior guard Jocolby Davis (Meridian, Miss.) was inserted into the lineup at point guard, moving Pigram to the two guard over Strong ... That lineup has gone 5-1 in the Bucs' most recent six games.
Non-conference home win streak at 16
Over the last three seasons, the Bucs have fared well against non-conference opponents within the confines of Memorial Center ... In fact, the Bucs have won 16 straight non-conference homes games since losing a 90-73 contest to Fresno State back on Nov. 27, 2004 ... ETSU has enjoyed wins over teams such as Marshall (2), Chattanooga, Central Michigan, Morehead State, Tennessee Tech, UNC Asheville, Eastern Kentucky, Radford and Appalachian State in that time frame ... Against conference opponents, the Bucs have won 10 straight regular season conference games.
Pigram eclipses 1,000 points
Beginning just his third season at ETSU, junior guardCourtney Pigram (Memphis) has already eclipsed the 1,000-point mark with a jump shot from the right corner at the 17:52 mark against Chattanooga (11/28) ... That basket gave Pigram 1,000 for his career and following the contest with the Mocs ... The junior now stands at 1,280 for his career and ranks for 12th on the all-time program scoring list ... The 6-1 shooting guard scored 325 points as a freshman and then netted a remarkable 614 as a sophomore ... His 614 points a year ago ranks 6th on the single season list.
1,122 wins and counting
With a win Jan. 25, 2007 against Belmont, the Bucs collected the program's 1,100th win all-time ... In over 80 years of basketball, the Bucs are 1,122-903.
Bucs on the Tube
Along with the new ASun.TV package which will video stream all ETSU men's and women's home games on the Internet, the Bucs will again have a significant presence on the television screen as well this year ... In fact, ETSU's trips to Oklahoma State (Dec. 8) and Syracuse (Dec. 15) both aired live locally, with the Oklahoma State game showing on WKPT (ABC) and the Syracuse contest aired on WJHL (CBS) ... The Bucs will also appear on regional cable through the Friday night CSS Atlantic Sun Game of the Week with the Jan. 25th trip to Jacksonville and the Feb. 1 home game against Mercer scheduled for air on CSS ... In addition, Charter Main Street will air its weekly ETSU replay on Charter 13 and Comcast 14 Tuesday nights at 8 p.m., with the weekly games beginning on Dec. 4th with the Tennessee-Wesleyan game ... For a complete schedule, visit ETSUBucs.com.
Chilton's No. 42 comes out of retirement
JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Aug. 31, 2007)- For many years, Tom Chilton's No. 42 has held a special place in ETSU basketball's history. Next season, fans will see that special number on the floor once again ... Chilton, who ranks first all-time with 26.1 points per game and fifth on the all-time scoring list with 1,801, has agreed to allow junior transfer Kevin Tiggs (Flint, Mich.) to wear his No. 42 jersey for the 2007-08 and 2008-09 season. Chilton, who now makes his home in Madison, Ind., said he was honored a current player would want to wear his number ... "I wish him the best and I'm honored he wants to wear No. 42," said Chilton, whose 42 is the only retired number in ETSU's program history. "I hope he always considers that the number doesn't make the player, but the player makes the number. A lot of hard work and effort went into that number during my time there, but ETSU gave a lot back to me and I wouldn't be where I am today without that university, so I'm happy to allow the number to be worn again." ... ETSU head coach Murry Bartow said he was appreciative Chilton would allow the number to come out of retirement, and he reiterated that the number will go back into retirement two years from now ... "Tom Chilton was one of the finest players to ever wear an ETSU uniform, and his willingness to allow Kevin to wear the number shows he is still proud to be a part of our program's tradition," Bartow said. "It's our expectation that Kevin understand the importance of the number and the responsibility that goes with wearing it." ... Tiggs, the 2007 National Junior College Division II Player of the Year, said he certainly understood the history behind the number ... "Mr. Chilton was and is a legend here, so wearing his number comes with a great deal of responsibility," Tiggs said. "I just want to play in a way that would make him proud."
Bucs dominate Preseason All A-Sun Picks
Last season, ETSU won its first Atlantic Sun Conference men's basketball title, but Belmont denied the Buccaneers the conference's automatic bid in the final of the General Shale Brick Men's Basketball Championship ... Entering the 2007-08 season, both the coaches and the media predict that the Buccaneers will again be battling the Bruins for conference supremacy ... Both chose ETSU as the favorite to win the conference and defend its regular-season title with Belmont second ... The Bucs were the clear choice by the media to win the tournament ... The Buccaneers have gone 28-10 in A-Sun play in their two years in the league and will continue to be led byCourtney Pigram (Memphis). The junior from Memphis, Tenn. was named the preseason Player of the Year following up his Player of the Year award for the 2006-07 season.

Mazowsze cancels Dec. 2 Eisenhower Auditorium show and rest of U.S. tour
Mazowsze cancels Dec. 2 Eisenhower Auditorium show and rest of U.S. tour
The 2014 tour of The Magnificent Mazowsze, including its scheduled appearance Tuesday, Dec. 2, at Penn State's Eisenhower Auditorium, has been canceled.
The U.S. agent representing Mazowsze said the Polish folk dance company lost its air transportation sponsorship, which presented an insurmountable financial obstacle.
Ticket holders for the Mazowsze performance do not need to return their tickets. They will be contacted by the Arts Ticket Center concerning the cancellation and will be refunded via check or credit card, depending on how the tickets were purchased.
"Though cancellations are fortunately rare, they do occasionally happen," said George Trudeau, director of the Center for the Performing Arts at Penn State.

CARSON CITY – Sharron Angle's campaign didn't properly report hundreds of thousands of dollars in campaign contributions or $2.3 million in debts during her failed 2010 U.S. Senate bid in Nevada, the Federal Election Commission said Monday.
The FEC accepted the findings of auditors that Angle's campaign failed to file or report in a timely manner 169 contributions totaling $243,750 or properly account for debt.
Under federal law, campaign committees are required to file special notices of contributions of $1,000 or more received fewer than 20 days but more than 48 hours before a primary or general election in which the candidate is running.
Also, "earmark" contributions made through a third-party must be itemized and include the donor's name, address, occupation and employer when total contributions over a campaign cycle exceed $200.
Angle did not respond to email or telephone messages seeking comment.
But the FEC report noted that the campaign, in response to an earlier interim audit report, said it was inundated with contributions after Angle received the endorsement of the Tea Party Express and won the 2010 Republican primary.
The campaign "reiterated that there was no intent to fail to comply with the law, but the contribution processing system in place could not handle the large number of donations received," the FEC report said.
Regarding $2.3 million in debts, auditors said Angle's campaign amended its reports to "materially correct" accounting of obligations.
The campaign blamed reporting problems on "a breakdown in communications between vendors and committee staff," the report said.
Monday's report made no mention of whether Angle could face civil penalties. But under guidelines posted on its website, the commission could pursue enforcement action under a separate proceeding, with penalties, if any, left to the discretion of the FEC.
Angle won a crowded Republican primary field but lost in the November 2010 general election to Democratic Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid.

kinneyd needed a new button or icon design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 46 designs submitted by 17 freelance designers.
Episcopal church needs an icon for their 2008 Stewardship campaign. Something simple, clean and inspirational to be used in church newsletter etc. Stewardship is the time of year in the church when members make a pledge to the church for the year...
From His Hands We Give
Would like some graphic or drawing to represent God's hands and the idea of giving. Whether it be a heart, tree etc. with the hands I will leave that up to the designer... Please note: you don't have to use a heart... the only requirement are the hands, but any additional elements to show the idea of "giving" are great.
Hands, graphic but with sophistication and not too corporate looking.. something that will work well to draw attention. Final design needs to be vector artwork that can open in Adobe Illustrator.
Clip art, busyness, or too many colors

Autopano pro
Autopano pro is an integrated panorama stitching software for Windows by Alexandre Jenny which automatically finds and stitches images.
External links
Autopano Pro is a powerful panorama stitching platform.
It is based on a research project called Autostich that was developed by Matthew Brown and DG Lowe; the research paper was originally published in 2003. Autopano Pro is one of the few commercial licensees of the Autostich engine.
The software can, for example, given a folder with images composing 2 different panoramas, detect that there are two different scenes represented by the images in the folders, and actually stitch all of the images together to create 2 panoramas. This has great implications for batch processing, as the entire stitching process can be completely automated in many cases.
The image below was stitched automatically from 42 images shot handheld from a cellphone, which gives you an idea of Autopano's detection, alignment, and stitching capabilities.
The software also has other advanced features such as distortion correction, Color Correction, multiple blending modes, HDR support (although it is limited at the moment), verticals alignment, cropping, re-centering, and much more.

I can only offer my prayers for you. I am so sorry and I know how frustrating this all can be. I am also praying for a miracle so that I can go on vacation with my husband and children in July to Colorado. I am 30 and unable to even go out to eat with my family. But I do believe in the power of prayer. If you would like to talk my e-mail address is email@example.com. I always have an open ear.]

I keep looking for inspiration in books and magazines, hoping that I can just use some of my stash, rather than buying yet more precuts. I've been hitting the local library more than usual lately, and discovered on my last visit that they seemed to have more quilting books in stock than usual, or at least different ones than I had seen before. But once I got home and sat down with my borrowed booty, I realized that, just like the last time I brought home a stack of quilting books from the library, I had nothing but a useless pile of ancient dreck. One book was all pretty with the promise of fat quarter quilts, but each quilt was just a collection of traditional blocks. One book touted some revolutionary method for sewing strips into tubes and then cutting them up in funky ways, but the instructions were totally incomprehensible (of course, I was trying to keep two small children from coming to blows over a bottle of peel-off glitter nail polish at the time I was trying to read it, but still). Other books expected me to trace patterns onto plastic, and then outline them on fabric AND CUT THEM OUT WITH SCISSORS. This is 2010, people, and besides, rotary cutters have been around since the late seventies, effectively making them medieval technology. We should have laser-guided cutting gadgets by now, don't you think?
I am currently working on the sashing for my plane ticket benefactor's quilt, then it will need a border, and I'll be back to the problem of how to quilt it. I hate to mess up a perfectly lovely quilt by doing it myself, but then I really do need to try to do an entire quilt on my own, just so I know I can do it. But I suppose I shouldn't do that kind of experimenting on something meant to give away. "Here you go! Yes, it looks like an extremely large wadded up ball of fabric and tangled thread, but it's really a quilt. And I quilted it myself! See, if you can just pry this rat's nest away here a bit - ooh, look out for the needle shards! - you can see that I stippled it within an inch of its life! No mercy - that's my quilting motto!"
On second thought, maybe I should just sell my Wii Fit on eBay.

Here is me, a Tuesday. A particular fantastic Tuesday.
No big deal.
First sight as I walk out the door, just shy of 6am. Tulips. I am glad I took the time last fall to plant hundreds of tulips and daffodils. The first step out the door I am charmed by sweet blooms of color and Spring comes into bloom.
The sun rise has a particular flare to it this morning. Being up to experience the sun rise always has a breath taking feel. I am a morning person when I mind my P's and Q's the night before.
Our sweet little town early in the morning.
Tuesdays and Thursdays I get up at the crack of dawn and climb at our local climbing wall. I meet three of my very good friends, we climb, laugh at each other, watch and encourage as each one progresses and fantasizes about the looming summer climbing adventures together.
I love this climbing wall, I have spent countless hours here and made life long friends while playing on the plastic.
I try and run a few times a week. This morning I was feeling particularly spunky and got a few miles in and had the company of a good friend to make the time fly.
I usually have breakfast and coffee while thumbing through cook books or scouring Pinterest for cake inspiration.
I have plans this day to meet a friend at my Dad's house on the shores of Birch Bay to dig clams. We miss the low tide. You can't win them all.
I find ways to entertain myself, like make feet with rocks.
Natasha looks perfectly content walking the beach with me. Really she is desperately looking for the foulest dead sea creature to roll and mask her freshly shampooed scent.
My Dad took us for a hike in the woods across the street from his house and we looked for mushrooms together. The forest is beautiful this time of year, lush green. He knows a lot about the forest and we soak up the wealth of knowledge.
Morels grow is forested areas, usually under cotton wood trees. They are masters of disguise and like to hide in plain sight. We had fun tromping through the woods and beamed with excitement as we scurried to the mushroom that we spotted in the distance.
Morels and fiddle heads. We are successful scavengers.
My friend just got the sweetest puppy, Zealand. Of course he went on the adventure. He fell asleep in my arms on the walk home, big day for the little guy.
Puppy's first experience with water. This dog is going to do it all before he is ten weeks old.
My dad has the most incredible greenhouse anyone could dream of, overflowing with flowers and vegetables. Beautiful. We planted a few hanging baskets together.
A full day, leaving me hungry and little time to get something ready for dinner before the other half got home from work. We venture down town to one of our favorite inexpensive burrito joints, Casa Que Pasa.
Since we were close to Mallards and the fact that we consumed uncomfortably healthy dinners at a dive bar, we had ice cream to round out the days events. I love Mallards Ice Cream, I love the hot fudge sauce even more, I threaten to order a bowl of chocolate sauce and sit down with a spoon. If you come to Bellingham, you must go to Mallards.
I came home to my first bin of produce from Dandelion Organic. Fresh produce on my door step once a week. I am gladly about to up our fruit and vegetable intake by ten fold.
There it is, a day in the life. I have a wonderful life and feel blessed to have the opportunities that I do and create.
