The year 1969 lit up humanity's maiden voyage to an extraterrestrial destination. Three Americans on the moon, not a Democrat or Republican issue; it was a world event sponsored by America. Does it get any cooler than that?
The year 1969 lit up humanity's maiden voyage to an extraterrestrial destination. Three Americans on the moon, not a Democrat or Republican issue; it was a world event sponsored by America. Does it get any cooler than that?
A tyke in the early '70s, I knew the man-in-the-moon as "Mit" (or Mr.) Moon. A few years later my dad, who served in the U.S. Air Force during the Vietnam War, had me in awe that our flag was up there.
Fast-forward to 1985. Teachers, mine included, were applying for the Challenger mission. Good thing Dad had an ear for space talk because I would come home from babysitting, "dad-nap" him because he was up and waiting, and talk his ear off until the wee hours of the morning. After these conversations, I would end up outside, parallel to the universe, just trying to wrap my head around the breadth of invisible energy above me.
College on the horizon, Dad talked me down from the stratosphere. When I told him I wanted to study the "out there" he hinted to me, "What about here, what about all the questions to be answered and problems to be solved right here?" Not what I expected, but I couldn't argue with what made sense.
China's Tiananmen Square Massacre and the 1993 World Trade Center bombing were bookend events to my college career. He was right, the world needed attention. I graduated an art major.
Few things make you look at the world more differently or give you better tools to make sense of it.
Eight years later, right before my job would be outsourced to China, the World Trade Center was hit again. I was on my way out the door when live TV broadcasted the unthinkable.
Throughout the next decade, it seemed like the future of our country was slipping through its own fingertips. People were losing jobs and houses. Whole industries were disappearing. Our military was fighting its longest and most unconventional war in response to the terrorist attack of 2001. And it didn't help that natural disasters teetered on the supernatural.
Now it's 2014. Russia, up to its old tricks, suggests we use a trampoline to get up to the International Space Station. China has proven that a country can do amazing things at the expense of human rights, including wiping out American manufacturing. Syria is becoming the arena where disenfranchised Americans and others can go to join the fight alongside Al-Qaeda. Did we really just negotiate with the Taliban while still "in country?" Troops are coming home to a horrendous VA scandal. Suffering its own version of post-traumatic stress disorder since 9/11 our country seems more like a character sketch of George Orwell's, thanks to revelations via the service of Edward Snowden. Meanwhile, the noose of human activity continues tightening on the environment.
Global economy, global politics, global industry, globalization, global warming, global this, global that. When the whole is only as strong as its parts, the parts cannot be inferior to their full potential. The United States is no exception in its relation to the world. It needs to find that one thing that is going to make it shine like a star again, to take a human endeavor and brand it American, and in doing so strengthen its participation in everything global.
Achieving energy independence via a comprehensive sustainable energy policy is that one thing. What could be a more stellar ambition amid a world polluted and angry because of fossil fuel dependence?
By radically proving that energy is there for the taking and found infinite in the ether of resources that are not owned, mined, burned, or transported, this country can prove itself the keystone of global structure and security.
We must, after nearly a half century since walking on the moon, be able to keep the lights on without the effort eating up our atmosphere, ice caps, and oceans. The canary in the coal mine has croaked.
Today, we would be wise to acknowledge that nuclear energy, boasting a long and impeccable safety record of powering our military vessels through the oceans, deserves fearless consideration for use in this pursuit.
We won the race to the moon; we can lead this venture, too. But, it will take all the vision, devotion, determination, and transcendence of domestic politics as did the lunar landing.
We went to the moon in 1969. Now, with the urgency of a rescue mission, it is time to set a course for home. "Cooler" is possible.

When Aerosmith comes home next week – a Wednesday night show at Mansfield's Xfinity Center with Guns 'n' Roses legend Slash and his band also on the bill – fans won't have to worry about scrimping on Aerosmith classics.
Aerosmith has been active, off and on, for more than 40 years, so it's a little weird to think that such a bastion of classic rock just might be entering a brave new era of doing things its way.
But having survived another few rounds of drama over the past decade, the band – which has called the South Shore home for many years – remains intact. And since releasing 2011's solid but tepidly received "Music from Another Dimension," they're now free of all obligations to Sony – and are officially free agents as far as labels are concerned.
"We haven't even had time to dwell on it," said guitarist Joe Perry, speaking by phone from a recent Aerosmith tour stop in Milan, Italy. "Even the social media aspect of the Internet and how that helps spread music, even in the last few years all these things have changed. We were focused on getting the last record done after 10 years and finally getting off Sony, so I don't think we've settled down enough to realize the impact."
Perry recently told Rolling Stone he wasn't sure if Aerosmith would ever cut another album. Considering what keeps artists on the road and what's changed about how to make money in the music business – something Perry thinks about often given that two of his sons are musicians – he concedes it's not a priority.
"Look at artists like Billy Joel, who looks things in the face and says, why should I bother cutting another record?" he said. "Fans want to hear certain songs. Unless you get a slam-dunk single on the record … well, when you've been around as long as we have, we have a repertoire built up that would let us go out and tour maybe another 20 years. So we're going to go in and do another studio album? Is it really worth the time?"
What it means in the short term is that when Aerosmith comes home next week – a Wednesday night show at Mansfield's Xfinity Center with Guns 'n' Roses legend Slash and his band also on the bill – fans won't have to worry about scrimping on Aerosmith classics.
"When we did the (most recent) record, I tweeted to people and I asked, how many new songs would you like to hear when we go out? And what came back was that if playing new songs meant cutting out their favorite songs, they really didn't want to hear new songs," Perry said. "The old days, you sold your records and made money when people played them, liked them and bought them. Now, anyone who actually wants it will buy it or bootleg it, and has already done that, and that's it. So we'll play a few songs off the record but you have to be realistic that it's clearly not going to get the response we get playing 'Walk This Way.'"
Aerosmith's next steps are up in the air, but Perry's own plans are in place. On Oct. 7 comes "Rocks: My Life In and Out of Aerosmith," an autobiography that will present his side of four-plus decades in one of rock's most infamous bands. It'll be the latest in a string of Aerosmith memoirs, which began with 2009's "Hit Hard: A Story of Hitting Rock Bottom at the Top" from drummer Joey Kramer, and includes 2011's "Does the Noise in My Head Bother You" by singer/frontman Steven Tyler. Bassist Tom Hamilton is also said to be working on a book, and then there's 1997's "Walk This Way: The Autobiography of Aerosmith" by Stephen Davis, who lives in Milton.
Each of those books has its own slant, and Perry – who co-wrote his book with David Ritz – is finally ready to offer his version.
"Something just felt right this time," he said, acknowledging that he's been asked about writing a book consistently over the last 20 years. "(My wife) Billie told me it's time to do the book, and I had the help of close friends. It was a team effort – getting it done and getting it done right. I wanted all the good stuff and all the bad stuff. You know that 'Walk This Way' book was very much 'VH1 behind the scenes," predictable with all the things about us that became such a cliche. I wanted to put some teeth in what I was writing, so I dug down, and I've told some stories that I really didn't want to have to talk about again or thought I would have to talk about again. It might surprise people."
What motivated Perry was a simple question, he said: "How did I get here?"
"This is my story. Some people will read it, I think, and say maybe there's a little too much of this or that in there," he said. "I do write about the '70s and how everything we did was beyond belief, and then the small miracle of getting the band back together (in the 80s). There's not as much that's been written about us in the '90s and 2000s, though, and I wanted to look at that because I'm not sure that people realize what it takes to keep a band together, especially when we all started having families and different lives. A lot of times the press would interpret that as the band splitting up, but it was really about keeping the band together with the same level of energy while finding your own path."
Perry has another solo album on the way – his sixth if you count five with The Joe Perry Project and his 2005 "Joe Perry." But he won't deny that when taking the stage with Tyler, Kramer, Hamilton and guitarist Brad Whitford, it doesn't take long to find a familiar streak of magic.
"Every year goes by and we have a whole batch of new fans seeing us for the first time, believe it or not – it's been so long since the majority of our fans were the same age we are," said Perry, who is 63. "We lived through a golden age of rock 'n' roll, and so much has changed, but for us we really do still get a kick of out of getting onstage and playing together. We've all got families and a lot of kids and everyone's gone about things in a different way, but the power of the five of us still together is still there. It's an amazing thing. It's not something you can buy and it's not something you can bottle."
Perry said he's excited to be sharing much of the band's summer tour with fellow rock 'n' roll survivor Slash, whose band has an album, "World On Fire," due in September.
Slash and Aerosmith have jammed on several occasions before, but Perry plays coy about whether Wednesday's homecoming show will see some crossover.
"Well, I don't know, we'll see," he said. "Sometimes it happens, sometimes it doesn't, you know? Doing that is one of those things that adds a little bit of extra spice to the night, so if I say, 'Yes, definitely,' that kind of takes a bit of the excitement away. So we'll see."

First Fridays in February is nearly here, and the event will certainly put a smile on your face this Friday evening in Smyrna.
First Fridays in February is nearly here, and the event will certainly put a smile on your face this Friday evening in Smyrna.
The lowdown
First Fridays is an event held downtown on the first Friday of the month that invites the public to meet and greet with owners of downtown businesses from 6 to 8 p.m. The Smyrna Downtown Renaissance Association revived the event in December, the first time since it was first launched around 2010. Each month a select number of participating businesses in First Fridays will serve refreshments (such as wine and cheese) in their shops for the nifty occasion. In addition, some businesses may feature sweet specials and deals.
Participating businesses in February's First Fridays includes the Odd Fellows Café, Sheridan's Irish Pub, The French Hen, Bailee 21 and Heart of Smyrna.
Prime rib featured at café
The Odd Fellows Café (located on 34 South Main St.), known for serving American favorites like crab cakes and chicken and dumplings, will offer their Friday mainstay on First Fridays: slow-cooked beef prime rib. This farm fresh meat is locally purchased at TA Farms in Wyoming, and the beef is slowly roasted for five hours, said chef John Reilly. Tender loving care is written all over these savory ribs.
The Café will stay open until 9 p.m. on Friday.
A 'Heart' for Valentine's Day
Heart of Smyrna (located on 1 West Commerce St.) is a gift-for-home shop featuring home décor items as well as costume jewelry, women's shoes and accessories.
Looking for a Valentine's Day gift to get your sweetie? Look no further. Stain glass hearts will be for sale at Heart of Smyrna, designed by Larry Ford, owner of Masters Art Glass Studio on E. Commerce Street. On Friday, Ford will be doing free engravings on the hearts, said Heart of Smyrna owner Vickie Bartsch. The stain glass hearts will be available in multiple colors such as pink and red. Single-heart designs will cost $10 to $12 and double-shaped hearts will cost $18, Bartsch said.
Not to mention, Smyrna author Samantha Mozart will be signing copies of her new nonfiction book titled "Begins the Night Music: A Dementia Caregiver's Journal (Volume 1)."
"We're really excited" Bartsch said of the upcoming First Friday's event. "This will be the third time we participate in it, and it's gotten bigger and better each time."
Heart of Smyrna will close at 8 p.m. on Friday.
Mother 'Hen' of Smyrna
The French Hen (located at 20 E. Commerce St.) features new and vintage furniture, as well as unique and charming accessories for the home. Whether you're a longtime homeowner, or a just got a new place, you can always find something at The French Hen that I'll inject some extra style into your humble abode.
The French Hen will stay open until 8 p.m. on Friday.
Taste of Ireland and America
The only other participating dining venue in February's First Fridays is Sheridan's Irish Pub. The restaurant is popular for offering a mix of traditional Irish and American cuisine like shepherd's pie and fish and chips to burgers and wings.
Each Friday Sheridan's features its chef special, and this week is not different. While this Friday's special hasn't been finalized, guests can certainly expect to taste something that's unique and "outside of the box," beamed owner Joe Sheridan. For instance, last week the Pub offered a southwestern chicken spring roll wrapped in pastry.
As for desert, an Irish car bomb cake will be available, Sheridan said.
Acoustic duo Benny & Hill will provide the night's soundtrack from 8 to 1 a.m. Sheridan's will close at 1 a.m.
Bailee 21
Bailee 21 Consignment Boutique (located on 16 S. Main St.) will offer refreshments during the event. The Consignment Boutique specializes in brand name clothing for women and children, along with shoes, handbags and jewelry.
Bailee 21 will stay open until 8 p.m. on Friday.

Mini-pastramied duck sandwiches from LA Spago...miam-miam
Are you wondering what I wore to this gala black tie event? A painted chefs jacket that's what.
I WAS wondering what you wore--and can totally picture you in your jacket and repettos. Classic. Lovely, Carol.ReplyDelete
Oooh to have been a fly on the wall! BTW Is there are French expression for that?! Thanks for sharing the pictures Carol.ReplyDelete
Great evening! The food is perfection...love your jacket!ReplyDelete
LAURA- everyone is on parade at the awards - they WANT their picture taken...just like the Westminster Dog Show...ahem :)
Yes MERISI, OF COURSE I took home that tiny caviar tin and longed to take home many,many more...
There are not many walls at Avery Fisher Hall - a fly would have a hard time, but yes it was amazing fun and impossible to see everybody and everything there. Though I don't think I missed ANY of the food.
I got tossed out of the Press Room by a cop for not having a press pass. Bloggers are NOT press it seems to some folks. It's lucky I didn't get to wear a pair of silver bracelets.
That looked like a yummy extravaganza!
Regarding tattoos...isn't it interesting how they used to be such an expression of rebellion and individuality and now they are so ubiquitous they are boring...
Dear LAURA,
Thank you!
I will memorize your email
Do you think they give you that option in Jail?
"You get 1 phone call
1 email?
And no vinegrette on the side.
Out here, there is such an awareness of season and sustainability.
Not complaining about this.
But it becomes, in some mouths, hands, very rigid. Yes, there are organic and very tasty cherry toms from Baja Ca. right now--- oh but they're not LOCAL. You'd never see King Crab at a do like you were at, here. It's on the Monterey Bay Aquarium's list of fish/shellfish to avoid. I follow all these rules and admire them. But I wish we could lighten up our rhetoric, a bit.
I was in NY last weekend, and after reading Thursday's Paris Breakfast, went by the James Beard house on Friday to see your watercolor paintings. They were very kind to show my friend and me around.
I loved seeing your work!
As a result I became a Foundation member, and therefore totally enjoyed your post this morning.
Thanks for melding New York, food, and Paris so beautifully!
This comment has been removed by the author.ReplyDelete
Wow, that was a treat. Thanks for bringing it home for us to share. What a cute jacket - you must have heard so many compliments...
Great way to showcase your artwork and love of miam-miam!
Wow! What a night! And I am so glad you succumbed to every edible - it would be unconscionable to miss a bit of it!ReplyDelete
Whoa, you got that post up fast! I heard crazy stories from my coworkers, sounded like fuuun. Boo to getting thrown out though!... that sounds nuts.
I don't like parties or awards shows so I don't think I would've enjoyed it, but someday, maybe. I mean, for the food..that sounds worth it.
You have to torture me with those delicious creations?
OMG your party pictures are fabulous.../would be soooo nice to see a full picture of your pretty-self as well :-)/
I love all the information you're sharing on your blog...one beautiful day when I will finally visit Paris...I will almost be as chic as a true Parisian...Lol...
Hope your week is lovely so far dear Carol...
Cheers: Evi
Loved seeing Mario especially!!!
Merci mille fois!!!
:) lg!
Ms Carol,
This is absolutely fantastic. Thank you so very much!
Oh you are a lucky girl to go to this event! It is something that I can only dream about.ReplyDelete

Joe Donovan: We should not tolerate government violations of religious libertyBY JOE DONOVAN
July 14. 2013 5:08PM
What if the federal government decided to infringe upon our free speech liberties? Knowing that our constitutional heritage is woven within this critical freedom, it could easily be predicted that massive opposition would occur. We simply would not stand for it. Unfortunately, our government has assaulted another First Amendment right: our religious liberties.
For centuries, citizens of the United States have been able to practice their religious beliefs without the intrusion of government forces. However, in a calculated moment, the separation of church and state has been clouded, with the aggressors being our own federal government. At the very core of the contentious issue is the Health and Human Services mandate requiring religious organizations to pay for abortion-causing drugs, contraceptives and voluntary sterilization procedures or be subject to strict fines.
Contrarily, some might argue that women's health is at the center of this debate. However, this position is completely false and without merit. First, women's health and all universal care should be given to each and every human being. In regard to birth control and abortion-inducing drugs, the options are endless on how to attain them. They are available over the counter, and there is no age restriction on Plan B contraceptives. The main issue is not a "health issue," but a complete overreach on the part of Obamacare along with a complete disregard for our religious liberties.
The federal government has accommodated some church designations, however it fails to recognize that faith-based organizations do not exist exclusively within four walls under a steeple. As a result, faith-based entities that are educating children, feeding the hungry, caring for the sick, taking care of the homeless and bringing a common good through many services provided to the secular world do not qualify for a religious exemption from this mandate. Many non-profit religious organizations will have to pay huge fines because they will not be able to contradict their core beliefs. Subsequently, it is also easily predicted that the monies that would be paid to care for the many people in need will now be wasted for the fines levied by the federal government. What a shame.
Even if you don't agree with this particular birth control subset per se, you must recognize that the government interference with faith-based organizations' primary beliefs is an insult to all our freedoms and must be stopped. The government is now telling us what its creed is and what we should believe and hold as true! In the spirit of our Founding Fathers and the many who sacrificed their lives for each of us to live freely, we must stop this mandate!
Joe Donovan lives in Derry.

NEW YORK (AP) — Broadway musicals aren't often set in funeral homes, but one is about to — "Fun Home."
Producers of the offbeat but moving and refreshing show said Thursday they will mount the musical this spring at the Circle in the Square Theatre. Performances will begin April 4 under the direction of Sam Gold.
"Fun Home," with a book and lyrics by Lisa Kron and music by Jeanine Tesori, played for four months at the off-Broadway Public Theater last year. It's been adapted from Alison Bechdel's graphic memoir about growing up in a funeral home with a closeted gay dad.
"When I watch the show, I see a child discovering her parent through adult eyes and the emotional, transforming experience that results. I do believe everyone can relate to that. There's a universal idea there that hugely appeals to people," said Kristin Caskey, one of the producers.
The musical — the title is an abbreviation for the business Bechdel's father runs — was named the season's Best Musical by the New York Drama Critics Circle this year and was also a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize for Drama.
"There's something about the sum total of the story, the music, the artistry, the stagecraft. Even though it's unexpected material, audiences just trusted it and opened themselves up to it," said producer Mike Isaacson. "It wasn't a kind-of-liked-it show. It was a you've-got-to-go-see-it show."
Tesori is also the songwriter behind "Violet" and "Caroline, or Change" and Kron's works include "Well," ''2.5 Minute Ride" and "In the Wake."
Tony Award-winners Caskey and Isaacson have produced such shows as "Red," ''Caroline, or Change" and "Thoroughly Modern Millie." They have joined up with "Hedwig and the Angry Inch" and "If/Then" producer Barbara Whitman to present "Fun Home."

Fabry disease is a metabolic disorder that is part of a group known as lysosomal storage diseases. It causes fatty substances to build up in the blood and blood vessels. The buildup slows or blocks blood flow to the organs. It can cause problems in the skin, kidneys, heart, and nervous system.
Fabry disease is caused by low levels of an enzyme called alpha galactosidase-A. This enzyme is needed to break down fatty substances. The specific genes that create the enzymes are faulty. The faulty gene is inherited from the mother.
Males who inherit the defective gene will have the disease. Females who have a single copy of the gene are called carriers. Most will not develop any symptoms, but they can pass the gene to their offspring. However, some women do have symptoms. On occasion, women may be as severely affected as men.
Risk Factors
Factors that may increase your chance of Fabry disease include:
- Having family members with the disease
- Having a family history of kidney failure
Symptoms may begin in childhood or early adulthood. Common symptoms include:
- Pain and burning sensations in the hands and feet—often worse during exercise, fatigue, or fever
- Spotted, dark reddish-purple skin lesions between the belly button and the knees
- Decreased sweating
- Vision problems
- Hearing loss
- Delayed puberty or delayed growth
As adults, males may have the following complications due to blood vessel blockage:
- Severe kidney problems
- Early stroke or heart attack
- High blood pressure
- Heart failure, left ventricular hypertrophy
- Mitral valve prolapse or insufficiency
- Frequent bowel movements after eating
- Diarrhea
- Joint or back pain
- Ringing in the ears or vertigo
- Chronic bronchitis or shortness of breath
- Osteoporosis
You will be asked about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done. Diagnosis is usually made based on the symptoms listed above. A test to measure the alpha galactosidase-A enzyme or DNA test can confirm Fabry disease.
There is no cure for Fabry disease. There is a medication to treat the condition. The medication works as an enzyme replacement. It is given through an IV at regular intervals.
Treatment may also involve other medications to reduce symptoms such as:
- Pain medications—may be over-the-counter or prescription
- Medications to treat stomach hyperactivity
- Blood thinners and medication to manage arrhythmias and other heart disorders
The kidneys may be damaged from blood flow problems. They may require:
- Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors and/or an angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs)—to stabilize kidney function
- Hemodialysis—if the kidneys are not able to function fully
- Kidney transplantation—if kidney failure has occurred
There is no known way to prevent Fabry disease. Consider genetic counseling if you have Fabry disease or have a family history of the disorder. The counselor can show you the risk of passing the condition on to your child.

The shut out: Hurting the people on purposeEDITORIAL
October 03. 2013 8:50PM
The government shutdown was unnecessary and foolish. Now that it has been forced upon us by two intransigent political factions that would rather score points against each other than govern, one would think that at least the executive branch would do its best to minimize the impact on the American public. One would be wrong.
In Washington earlier this week, federal employees erected barriers to block citizens from accessing outdoor memorials that are not staffed. World War II veterans were blocked from entering the open-air memorial dedicated to them. A single barricade was placed in front of the World War I memorial.
The government cannot barricade the White Mountain National Forest. But toilets there have been locked. Tourists were not let onto the grounds that surround the Jefferson Memorial. Why?
The only possible explanation is that the executive branch hopes to impose as much hardship as possible. This is petty partisanship at its worst.

Welcome to the Virus Encyclopedia of Panda Security.
It affects mobile phones with an Android operating system. It seems to be the classic game for phones called the Snake, but besides the game, it installs a spyware program which requires geographical infromation to the GPS of the affected user's phone.
TapSnake.A is a Trojan that affects mobile phones with an Android operating system.
Apparently, it is the popular Snake game, but unlike this, TapSnake.A requires geographical information to the GPS of the terminal in order to send the position to a malicious user, as this game is part of the spyware suite called GPS Spy.
It is necessary that a user (the affected or attacking user) installs the program. Therefore physical access to the terminal is required. Additionally, users have to register in order to associate the affected terminal with the GPS Spy software and this way gain access the gathered information.
TapSnake.A can be downloaded from the Android Market.
TapSnake.A is difficult to recognize, as it has the appearance of the Snake game, so it does not make users suspect and realize that it also contains a spyware program.

Firm that won NH state liquor contract sanctioned by feds, ordered to pay safety fines, back wagesBy DAVE SOLOMON
New Hampshire Union Leader
February 05. 2013 10:14PM
Exel Inc., the Ohio-based company that won a $200 million, 20-year warehouse contract with the New Hampshire Liquor Commission, was recently sanctioned by the federal government for occupational safety and minimum-wage law violations at a warehouse it operates in Pennsylvania.
The Department of Labor announced Nov. 14 that it had recovered more than $213,000 in back wages for 1,028 foreign students employed at a candy packaging warehouse operated by Exel in Palmyra, Pa., and obtained an additional $143,000 in fines for safety and health violations at the facility.
The settlement includes commitments by Exel to comply with labor law and safety regulations at each of its 300-plus company sites nationwide.
The Hershey Co. owns the large distribution center in Palmyra, but hired Exel to run it. Hershey was not cited by OSHA.
Exel spokeswoman Lynn Anderson described the sanctions as "a situation that was really unique to that one site."
The federal action came after a six-month investigation prompted by the protests of foreign student workers on an international exchange program hired by a temp agency to work for Exel.
A 24-page citation by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration issued last February found that Exel had failed to report 42 serious injuries over four years at the site, which amounted to 43 percent of injuries in the four-year period. According to a New York Times report on Feb. 21, 2012, the injuries required medical treatment, and many were related to lifting and moving big boxes of Hershey's chocolates along a packing line.
"The fines, which are high for workplace safety offenses, were levied because six of the violations were for willful failure by Exel to protect its workers," the Times reported. "Labor officials said they had found an email in which Exel managers explicitly decided not to provide audio protection for workers in the noisy plant, even though they were aware of the problem."
Most of the OSHA violations were for failing to report injuries.
"It was very clear to us that dozens of injuries had not been recorded," OSHA officials told the Times. "Exel understood exactly what the law was on reporting. They were aware of these other injuries, and they just did not record them."
Exel initially said it would contest the citations and fines before an independent commission that reviews OSHA decisions, but in November agreed to the settlement, according to Anderson.
"It was a rather complex situation, but it did ultimately result in a settlement with the Department of Labor that was shared by Exel, the temporary labor provider we used at the site and the firm that hosted the students in the United States," she said.
Wage law violations
The minimum-wage violations stemmed from the fact that excessive housing costs were charged to the foreign students and deducted from their pay, reducing their hourly wage below the minimum required by the Fair Labor Standards Act, according to the OSHA statement on Nov. 14.
"We agreed to the collective settlement really for the purposes of resolving things economically and amicably with the Department of Labor," Anderson said. "On the issue of wages, we contend and there is verbiage in the settlement that acknowledges Exel did not have any visibility to the payments going through the temporary agency. But because those were workers who were employed at our site, we took responsibility."
She said the OSHA violations were related to record-keeping and noise abatement, and that Exel has met all the terms of the settlement regarding safety and injury reports moving forward.
The Nov. 14 settlement requires Exel to review its compliance with minimum wage, overtime and record-keeping at each of its sites, and to maintain a hotline for workers who may believe their rights have been violated. It also requires the company to end an incentive program based on the number of reported or recorded injuries and illness at a facility.
"This action is consistent with OSHA's current efforts to eliminate bonus plans that potentially incentivize non-reporting of injuries," said an OSHA spokesperson.
Bow warehouse site
Anderson said Exel is moving forward with plans to start business in New Hampshire on behalf of the state Liquor Commission, and has identified a site along 3A in Bow for construction of a 240,000-square-foot warehouse, working with ProCon construction of Hookset and T. F. Moran engineering of Bedford. She said the company expects to hire 50 workers once the site is up and running.
Two unsuccessful bidders have challenged the liquor commission's request for proposals and the bidding process that led to the Exel contract. Second-place bidder XTL-NH Inc., has filed an appeal with the commission, while third-place bidder Law Warehouses of Nashua, which has done the work for decades, is considering an appeal to Superior Court.
When asked if the Liquor Commission Evaluation Committee was aware of the penalties and fines against Exel in Pennsylvania when it recommended the Exel contract, commission counsel Stephen Judge declined comment.

With the sun behind the bird, it was hard to tell whether the pheasant was a hen or a rooster. I put the side-by-side up to my shoulder, pointed below the bird and then pulled through the target. When the barrel covered the bird, I pulled the trigger and felt the recoil of a 1�-ounce load of No. 6 shot.
ALICEVILLE | With the sun behind the bird, it was hard to tell whether the pheasant was a hen or a rooster. I put the side-by-side up to my shoulder, pointed below the bird and then pulled through the target. When the barrel covered the bird, I pulled the trigger and felt the recoil of a 1�-ounce load of No. 6 shot.
Where the pheasant had been, a puff of feathers hung in the air. A second later there was a loud thump as a brown ball landed about five yards from me.
"Hen," I said to myself. That's the good thing about shooting pheasants in Alabama. It doesn't matter whether it's a rooster or a hen because they're all released birds. The hens are equally tasty and tend to fly a little faster and higher, too, making them fun to shoot.
I can't think of a better way to spend a February morning than a tower shoot. This one held Friday benefitted the Fresh Water Land Trust. The organization buys land that is important to the watershed of rivers and streams as a means of protecting the water, said Executive Director Wendy Jackson.
Some of its projects include Red Mountain Park in Birmingham, Tannehill State Park, Turkey Creek Nature Preserve and Big Sandy Creek in Tuscaloosa County. The tower shoot at Westervelt Lodge near Aliceville raised money for the cause.
"This is the third year we've done it," Jackson said. "It's a great fundraiser for us. Westervelt is really great to work with and our supporters really like it. It's a good way to support a great cause and have fun at the same time."
About the fun part, there's no question about it if you're a wingshooter. I particularly like Westervelt's tower shoots. They paid a great deal of attention to their setup so the shooting is safe and as challenging as they can make it. It make for a good day outdoors.
Westervelt's tower is located in a grove of tall pine trees. When released, the birds have to rise over the trees surrounding the tower. Most of them level out, making for a shot that's solidly in range but not exactly a gimme. Shooters are in a wire mesh cage blind that prevents them from taking shots at birds flying too low.
Some birds come out of the tower and drop low or move slow. But others immediately climb to heights and take off at speeds that make you stretch your gun to its limits. Some climb completely out of range. To be blunt, birds get missed.
The shooting mimics a European driven pheasant shoot. The fact that the birds are coming at the shooter explains something about how Europeans typically choke their double barrels and over-and-unders.
Most American double guns fire the more open choked barrel first and the tighter choked barrel second. With European doubles, often the tighter choked barrel fires first and the more open choke fires second. It makes sense in this situation so it's not a bad idea to set up guns with screw-in chokes European style.
I load my own shells and use the same load that I shot ducks with back when you could use lead shot. It contains 26.5 grains of Herco power, a red Winchester wad and 1�-ounce of No. 4, No. 5 or No. 6 shot in a Winchester Double-A or Remington Premier hull.
On a good tower shoot, you can burn up three boxes of shells or more. Anybody who is sensitive to recoil should consider that when selecting a gun and a load. Anyone shooting 1�-ounce loads in a double or a pump will definitely feel it. Felt recoil is greater than it is in target shooting because the shooter is anticipating the shot.
Shooters who are sensitive to recoil might want to lighten the load and use a gas-operated autoloader. But pheasants, even pen-raised birds, are pretty tough. I personally like No. 4 shot because it patterns well in just about all of my guns and has a lot of stopping power. But other folks would say that's overkill. Some people even drop down to 11⁄8-ounce loads of 7� shot.
There's no reason not to use a 20 gauge, although I'd use heavier loads. The biggest problem with using a 28-gauge is getting a load with a higher velocity than 1,200 feet per second. But a good shot that limits the range at which he or she shoots can kill birds with a 28 gauge.
Part of the fun is getting to watch some good dog work. Handlers from Wildrose Kennels in Oxford, Miss., were there Friday with their dogs to pick up birds.
As one of my Yankee friends said, one real bonus of tower shoots is that you get to eat what you kill. Pheasants are white meat birds with a delicate flavor. I wrap the breasts in bacon and smoke them on a cylindrical smoker over a half a pan of charcoal and a half a pan of water.
Tower shoots aren't cheap, but on cool February days after duck and deer season have passed, they're hard to beat.

"The Economics and Statistics Administration performs high-quality economic analysis and fosters the missions of the Census Bureau and the Bureau of Economic Analysis. " - Mission Statement
The Economics and Statistics Administration (ESA) plays three key roles within the Department of Commerce (DOC). ESA provides timely economic analysis, disseminates national economic indicators, and oversees the U.S. Census Bureau (Census) and the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA). In this latter role, ESA works closely with the leadership at BEA and Census on high priority management, budget, employment, and risk management issues, integrating the work of these agencies with the priorities and requirements of the Department of Commerce and other government entities.
ESA's expert economists and analysts produce in-depth reports, fact sheets, and briefings on policy issues and current economic events. DOC and White House policymakers rely on these tools, as do American businesses, state and local governments, and news organizations around the world.

Scenes from Sewing
212 comments:
Lots of spring sewing going on around here. Just finished up 5 linen covered notepads, 2 aprons, and 2 baby quilts in the past couple of weeks. Gotta love spring! It is so motivating :)ReplyDelete
Next I'll be working my way through the list I have for State Fair entries this summer.
Yesterday I made a "Lady In Pink" dress (from the Backyardigans) for my daughters birthday. I am also making denim tailored slipcovers for two chairs in my living room. It is nice to be sewing again!ReplyDelete
Working on getting ready for a craft fair in May...my first one, actually. So, I'm busy sewing up bibs, burp cloths, tote bags, baby quilts, etc. Got lots to do. I did find time to make my darling four year old her Easter dress, though. Now, if I could just find the time to finish mine...ReplyDelete
I would love to learn, but my very old sewing machine drives me nuts. Last time, I used my mom's Viking and nearly took a finger off! Okay, I sewed through it. Ouch. I really need to learn, but I don't have anywhere to put my machine. Small house.ReplyDelete
oh such beautiful colors...i would love to have a huge board like that to lay my pieces outReplyDelete
I'm actually crocheting right now...but this afternoon, I believe I will be starting a Multi-Tasker Tote!!!ReplyDelete
I received my pattern in the mail today. YAY!
I just have to tell you and all your followers that ordering from your store is an absolute delight. I cannot believe how fast my pattern got here. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Glad to see I'm not the only one covered in thread! I'm sewing a baby quilt, a bubble dress and a tooth fairy doll!ReplyDelete
To be completed by Friday (maybe): Summer dresses for my girl--one in green and one in white. A couple of tops for me along with a linen wrap around skirt. And lastly two embroidered pocket babies (from goodygoody.typepad.com) for a certain Easter basket that needed just one more thing! I suppose I should get some fabric cut!ReplyDelete
As always great photos!
Ahhhhhhh, yes. Spring sewing!ReplyDelete
Almost as good as FALL Sewing!
Not to be outdone by WINTER Sewing!!
Each brings with it a renewed oh-my-gosh-I-have-to-start-a-bazzilion-projects-at-once vibe to my sewing room. How I love that vibe. Thread all over the place, piles of fabric everywhere.
Sooooo, right now it's 3 quilt tops, one table topper and a couple of pillows. Give me time - I just got started over the weekend.
And, Anna? Are those BARE feet in the last photo? LOL. I totally get that - I wore slippers for about 20 minutes after I read your post(s) about the ouchies - even after remembering a rather painful trip to the ER myself with half a sewing needle stuck in the bottom of my foot - before I gave up and kicked them off.
I just need to feel the floor(grass, driveway, tile, etc.) under my bare feet!
i am making 2 easter dresses and some dolls with vintage plastic faces!ReplyDelete
Last minute "dress", slipcover or whatever it's called for the soon to arrive baby's co-sleeper bassinet. Those things are just too ugly to look at. It's turning out pretty nice! Love the belly shot, I know it sounds crazy, but I will miss the huge basketball in front of me when it's gone.ReplyDelete
I am not sewing anything at the moment. I know,terrible. My explanation is I am 16 weeks pregnant and have yet to regain any of my pre-pregnancy energy. Boo!ReplyDelete
I have done lots of embroidery though. And planning for all the baby projects to come!
Ok. Guilty. Not sewing, but does preparing to sew count? Two months from here ( http://www.centerstone.com/ ) - middle houseReplyDelete
My love and I spent three hours this weekend taking picture and walking through our framed structure. There is nothing like a blank canvas and a paint palette of promise to inspire the soul.
Ha! I have the same iron!ReplyDelete
I've very new to sewing, and it's easy for me to become intimidated by it. So, at the moment my sewing desk is piled high with 'everything else'. But, clearing it off is my task for the afternoon-- cause there's just too much I want to sew... and the only way I'm ever going to learn to sew is by just going it, right?
I'm sewing a lap quilt for my mother-in-law, with designs on a king sized version for our bed. I like to think of the little one as "practice." A big, floppy hat for poolside and gardening this summer. A laptop cover in some of your Good Folks goodness for my new MacBook....will that be another quilt you're making? Beautiful, as always!ReplyDelete
Thats it! You've convinced me to start a quilt! I've been so busy working on items for my etsy shop that I would love to sit down and start a quilt project for myself! And the one you've started here seems like a great way to use up all of my fabric scraps. And simple shapes, my favorite!ReplyDelete
LOL I'm sewing curtains and closet-curtains for the baby nursery! XD And I'm planning on a quilt, but I'm unsure of the design yet. I want something funky but muted and matching with the colours in the room... ah, it'll come to me eventually! <3ReplyDelete
I'm not sewing because I'm reading YOU.ReplyDelete
I just finished sewing an art quilt last week and now I'm working on a cloth mermaid doll. It needs to be finished by next Tuesday evening! I can't wait to get the basic sewing part done so that I can get to the beaded embellishment. That part will make it come alive.ReplyDelete
Your sewing room shots are so lively .. love all that happy color! :-)
I just finished sewing a Study Hall Skirt! And I love it so much! Your instructions were great and I even managed to put in the invisible zipper successfully. I already have big plans for another one (I ordered some of your fabrics from a lovely Etsy shop last night) and lots of plans for more of your patterns too. Thanks so much for the wonderful inspiration!ReplyDelete
Love what you're sewing! I have a couple excuses for not sewing over the past couple weeks - ugh! I just spent two weeks in China visiting my sister. And, I'm enrolled in a graphic design program which gives me a lot of homework. It's fun being in art classes, but I really miss sewing, darn it!ReplyDelete
I'm refashioning slip dresses for my three girls for Easter. And getting ready for the 8 spring shows I'm involved in that means lots of bags, pillowcase dresses, onesies, and other things, just alot of sewing!ReplyDelete
I have bought some of your good folks (which I am smitten with by the way) for a quilt for my bed. I have been trying to figure out how I want it to look, when I saw the first picture i knew immediately I wanted it similar to that, I love the simpleness of it, thanks for the inspiration!
- Anonymous1:56 PM
oh my goodness, I wish I was sewing! I've been working in my booth at a trade fair since last week and am at the point where I'm getting a little shaky from not making anything! It's over now though, so lots to catch up on this week. Can't wait.ReplyDelete
The bump's looking fabulous! xx
Cleaned and reorganized the studio this past weekend then promptly made a new creative mess on the work table. I am preparing for a very special give away - something ruffly, something funky, something practical pretty to give away next week. I love your strippy quilt - is that what it will be? I will be checking back to see where this project goes. Thank you for a fun post. ~KellyReplyDelete
unDeniably Domestic
I'm working my way through Heather Ross' new Weekend Sewing book. Just finished the Everything Tote and the Pajamas for Everyone. Lots of fun! It looks like you're having fun too. Love the photo with the threads on your lap :) Can't wait to see the finished product. Happy Quilting!!ReplyDelete
I'm currently working on finishing up a stuffed, felt owl (dubbed Hemingway) for Alex. Funnily enough, I free-handed the pattern for him (as a larger version) based off of the Hoot owl ornament that you posted. When he's all finished up I'm planning on starting a quilt that will be a wedding present for one of my best friend's, Jenna.ReplyDelete
P.S. Your bump looks so cute covered in those bits of thread!
Hmm, lots on the go here.ReplyDelete
Handstitching the binding on the baby quilt for our most recent nephew.
Developing a class sample for hopefully (!) my first teaching adventure.
Finishing a doll quilt for a special almost niece.
Still trying to get through all the triangles on my project Improv.
And the binding for a quilt is sitting on the back of the dining room chair, waiting to be attached.
PS The belly (and the legs) look great!
Finally... I did try some sewing today. Now I have four fabric eggs for Easter, but truthfully, they look too wonky for publication. Any suggestions? How to get small softies and Easter eggs to look very pretty? I suppose it has something to do with meticulously careful seams. Sigh.ReplyDelete
I'm designing my own bags right now using charm packs. I've done two with Flutterby and currently I'm working on a second using the Wonderland fabrics by MoMo.ReplyDelete
I'm specifically interested in your Shark iron. I recently did a post about iron problems
50+ people are having the same problem according to the comments. Can you tell me about your iron? Thank you.
I just finished a set of Letter Sacks and now I'm on to some things for Sweetpea's Easter basket. Your fabrics are beautiful, as always.ReplyDelete
Love your photos! Your fabrics are so gorgeous. The shot of your baby bump made me smile thinking that your little one probably finds the sound of a sewing machine very familiar and rather soothing! ;o)ReplyDelete
As for me? I have grand plans to get back to work on my latest quilt since I finally bought some batting last evening.
lots and lot of pillows.
i was covered in lint and thread yesterday too. :)
Just finished up a cot quilt. Currently sewing up blocks for a twin bed quilt for my 4 year old and cutting out for a queen quilt for friends. Love being covered in lint and threads!! The more I see of Good Folks the more I need to get my hands on some! Love the pic of your bump - too sweet!ReplyDelete
I just finished up a wonderful summer skirt. However, my sewing endeavors have been put on hold by my husband for awhile now. Claims we need to paint the house and finish up other fixer-upper projects before I sew any more. I'm saddened, but he has a point. :)ReplyDelete
Oh, how I want to be sewing. My new hobby seems to be acquiring the materials but never quite getting it done. I blame the toddler who is currently having unexplained, uncontrollable temper tantrums which is perhaps the very definition of toddlerhood. Someday, she said wistfully.ReplyDelete
I am working on an 8 bag bridal order. I am also getting ready to quilt my first quilt. The top is finished, I have tacked the batting and underside together. Now I just need some spare time to quilt.ReplyDelete
I got a charm pack of Good Folks today and plan to make one of my rag totes with it tonight.
Love the peeking belly shot~which reminded me to tell you I just made a cup of Mint tea with honey.
Oh, Anna Maria, I read your post this morning, and didn't want to reply because I'm not sewing anything! I have been crafting a bit lately, and doing all sorts of creative things, but I haven't sewn in weeks! Admitting this means I'll have to dust of my featherweight and make a headband or a zipper purse or something. You can also see the mural I just finished on my blog!ReplyDelete
I'm also inspired to clean up an old dresser we have and do some sweet lining in the drawers, as you have.
Thanks for the inspiration!
skinny nothin!!ReplyDelete
ha! i absolutely love the pic of your legs all strewn with cotton :) i'm a painter, and it's the sewer's equivalent of paint-flecked fingers :)ReplyDelete
Wow what creative people read this blog! I just finished up an Easter hat for my baby... and a tag blanket wit tag toys to go with it... and the baby's baby quilt was finished a short time ago (with a grown-up size one to follow). I'm itching to make another quilt, but I have decided that before that happens I need to break down and buy the proper cutting tools!ReplyDelete
What lovely pictures, I especially love your beautiful thread covered belly, so cute!ReplyDelete
What am I sewing, sigh.... my list is longer than my arm. And all to be done before the May Long Weekend. That is when the garden goes in and all sewing stops until Oct. Ok, maybe not ALL sewing. I can see myself hand sewing sock monkey appendages in a nice sunny yard with the kids running about.
My favorite project right now is a picnic quilt. I'm using old jeans and some bright and cheery decorator weight to fill in the gaps. Fun fun!
Oh your tummy is so cute, full of karate choppin' baby person. I'm making a crapload of baby quilts for my Nugge (prairie points abound!), gotta start some bedding and such but the quilts are more fun, started an Amy Butler Chelsea tote, and I have an order for some custom bridesmaid gift underpants I need to get up on! I'm usually covered in threads too : )ReplyDelete

Working on a simple top made out of Heather Ross's new line- blue background with white clouds and orange quid. Love it. Also started my first quilt. I have no idea what i'm doing and am going totally patternless. Making it out of Anna Maria's Good Folks line. It's been fun becuase my hubby is great with color (and math) so he drew me up a grid. I hope that when we're old we can tell the great grandkids how we stayed up too late trying to figure out how to make a quilt. Also, need to agree with the poster who said that ordering from Anna's store is awesome. The stuff gets here super fast! I ordered more fabric last night and it already shipped! The first time I ordered it took just four days and I live in Hawaii.ReplyDelete
Making a purse with your sweet fabrics and pattern! YAY! Making me happy!ReplyDelete
PS....do we get a cute profile/belly photo of you and bubs?! Purty please!
The only sewing I've accomplished lately is in my head! I'm dealing with some health issues and haven't had the mental or physical energy to sew, sadly. But I've been poring over books from the library and drooling over books like yours at the bookstore, dreaming of what I'll make when I'm feeling better.ReplyDelete
I love your blog! It's one of many that are inspiring to me while my own sewing machine and projects are on hiatus. thanks for sharing with us.
oh my gosh! that's exactly the kind of quilt i want to do for my son's "big boy" room! right now i'm finishing a similar throw quilt i got as a kit for practice (slowly but surely!).ReplyDelete
thanks for the visual! for some reason i have a severe issue with picking a project, finding a pattern & sticking to it - i seem to just envision something in my mind & then try to create it - craziness!
happy monday!
kelly (aka girl who thinks being emotional when preggy could be cathartic!)
just finished sewing an apron for my daughter (I used a valentine table cover from walmart). currently my sewing machine is lonely for I will be packing her along with everything else while we move to the other side of this island. Once we get settled I will finish my sons quilt along with other unfinished sewing projects. Happy spring!!ReplyDelete
Doll blankets for nieces!ReplyDelete
I'm sewing napkins for Easter, and hoping I can get them done before Saturday. In the meantime, my t-shirt quilt is in progress, and baby burp cloths and blankets are waiting to be created.ReplyDelete
Your quilt is exquisite, but my fav picture has to be your bump. Thank you always for the inspiration.
I love the threads over everything at the end...and to be honest, I didn't even notice that the baby was popping into the picture! What am I sewing? well, right now I am reading blogs, but I am going up to the studio soon to finish one Christmas quilt for a magazine and start another Christmas quilt for our mutual friends Jeff P and all the rest at Free Spirit.ReplyDelete
That thready picture reminds me of something from a book from years ago. Two kids out on the soccer field...one kid reaches over to the other's shoulder to pull off a loose thread and asks, "Your mom quilt?" I always thought that was funny. The thread is powerful...more than soccer! :)ReplyDelete
Oh...I'm sewing NOTHING right now! I have analysis paralysis and I cannot decide what project needs more work right now. Bleh. Nothing creative on my list, all just repairs. Wah.
Lovin' your sewing setup! My hands are itching for a few good sewing projects, Easter dresses if I can get my rear in gear, and some seriously cute illustrated totes for tidiness.ReplyDelete
Hi thereReplyDelete
I've just completed a strip-sewn cot quilt - I've made it for a market but love it so much I'm tempted to keep it for my daughter instead! Here's a link:
Lovely and colorful pics. We will be sewing/making some place-mats very soon so looking forward to being creative. Ha!ReplyDelete
Tote bags and Aprons!ReplyDelete

I am cutting and pinning the batiste slip for my four year old's Easter ensemble. Smocked dress - check, slip to keep panties from peeking through - no check yet.ReplyDelete
Edged in lace, too. Oh help me please!
What machine do you use? I am researching for a new one and am asking all I know for their opinions. Not that I know you, but I do...you know? My 6 function Singer is well past it's day....oh even feed, how I covet you!
i'm redecorating my entire living room/kitchen in garden party, so: a fabulous window treatment, lampshade, pillows, etc... all in GARDEN PARTY! will email pics when completed --- xoxoReplyDelete
Thank you for that last photo! I get this weird satisfaction from the various threads that end up stuck to me from my projects--reminds me that I have been doing something fun:)ReplyDelete
I am making a pair of capris with trim for my daughter. I also have a "garden" quilt that I am piecing....one day it will be finished.
I should be sewing the felt bean bags that I have planned to put in my littles' Easter baskets. My most recently finished project was a simple bag that I am going to use for storage. With a 4yo,2yo and a 8month old my sewing is here and there and sometimes not at all. ;) So I come to your blog and live vicariously through you. ;)ReplyDelete
I have an easter dress cut out for the seven year old, but I am too nauseous from being pregnant with # five! boo hoo. Yah, I am living vicariously. My other project is making a raincoat out of the Good Folks laminated fabric. But it will probably being winter by the time I start!ReplyDelete
I am working on lots of clothes for my 3 y.o. daughter and I actually have a question fo you if you have the time to comment! I am wanting to make her a little peasant dress using your lime receiving line fabric as the main fabric. (love it!!) I was planning to make it with the flowers running vertically, but after reading the 'grainline' section of your book, I am wondering if I should do it the opposite. Does it matter??!!!ReplyDelete
Thanks!! LOVE your fabric!! ALL OF IT!!! ~Lori
Ruby's Bloomers from Heather's Weekend Sewing. I cannot stop making them! So easy! And there is nothing like a half naked baby running around in the summer - so it's good to encourage people with gifts :]ReplyDelete
Those colors are sort of really gorgeous. Wow, looking good. I'm working on a couple skirts, I got great fabric at Purl Soho in NY. And I have two quilts I need to wrap up here. Then, its on to Good Folks and a few projects I've been eying in Seams to Me.ReplyDelete
right now i am not sewing anything. i am aimlessly wading through the end of tax season (i am an accountant) and praying that i will make it to april 15th. i have downloaded the zig zag pattern that i will make starting april 16th! and i love the picture with all of the threads on you. i thought i was the only one who looked like that after sewing!ReplyDelete
Not sewing YET as I prepare for a 4 year olds birthday party with new preschool moms who have never been to my house before (a.k.a: scraping ,patching, painting, decluttering, yada yada) and working on continuing ed. But I have a lovely green silk waiting to be made into Roman shades for my bedroom, and a lovely embroidered bronze red material on order for Roman shades to replace the ugly brown metal blinds that have been in my living room for 15 years. Why didn't I do this earlier anyway?ReplyDelete
I'm about to start sewing a polkadot red silk version of Folkwear's Blonde Bombshell dress for Portland's Red Dress Party (where everyone who goes, and I do mean everyone--guys too--must wear a red dress). Just have to finish organizing the sewing room first.ReplyDelete
After work hours I have been working on all my freelance illustration work, so no sewing in a while unfortunately! Although the pile of repairs on my husbands jeans and my friends bags are sure as heck getting out of control! :D i LOOOOOVE that last pic of the stringees on your belly!!!ReplyDelete
- Annie3:27 PM
I'm TRYING to finish up a "raggedy" quilt for my son with the logo of his favorite hockey team on it. I'm on the part where you have to clip each of the exposed seams so that they curl and fray when when you wash the quilt. It's just twin-sized, but it takes FOREVER when two kids and a husband distract you all the time! My reward for getting done is some Good Folks that I just bought to make myself a Ruthie Clutch! Can't wait!ReplyDelete
i spend many days covered in sprinkles of thread and bits just like your last photo!ReplyDelete
*as can be expected, i always look forward to your blog entries and new updates on everything
I had to laugh when I saw the picture of you! I always have threads all over me lately too! I'm sewing some dresses for a couple of ladies, Easter dresses for my girls, making over a suit coat, skirts for me...ReplyDelete
I just need to freshen my sewing room so it is truly fun again all the time. If I can get done with my kitchen...:-)
Another beautiful creation! I love the random piecing!ReplyDelete
When I'm not exhausted after a day of child care, I try to work on the quilt top that I started for my friend that just had a baby boy.
I just finished a taxi tote, a little baby kimono top, one of the fun stuffed balls from your book and some bibs. I am making the play along quilt from your book and have the top all done - now I just need to quilt it!ReplyDelete
- Teresa7:48 AM
I actually laughed out loud at the last picture...that's what I look like (unfortunately, minus the lovely belly!) while I'm sewing, (bare feet and all!) Actually, I'm working on your beautiful Socialite dress for my daughter for Easter and another little Easter dress for my other daughter plus a few little odds and ends in the middle...Happy Spring and a blessed Easter to you!ReplyDelete
i wish i could sew but i can't so whenever i come to your site, i always just sit and wish i knew how to sew :(ReplyDelete
- Carrie Picott8:26 AM
I am finishing hand sewing the binding on a quilt for my son who is almost 5 months now. I stated picking out the fabric when I was 16 weeks pregnant. Let's just say a lot got in the way...sold a house, bought a house, moved, started a new job, husband started a new job, redid the matching bumper pad three times, stopped to sew gifts for others - two baby blankets and four birthday dresses with matching bookbags for my 2 yo daughter and three of her friends. But I'm on the home stretch now, just over half of the quilt left to bind, hoping to be done by next week. And then I intend to start on the window treatment & shower curtain for my bathroom with fabric from the Drawing Room collection. Oh and now I have more baby gifts to sew as another friend is pregnant. I aspire to one day have the time to make myself the study hall skirt and a quilt for my grandmother. Whew!ReplyDelete
I'm sewing NOTHING because my machine BROKE! :( Horrendous timing too. My dear friend & I are setting up shop at our local farmers' market in 3 weeks and I am without a machine but have piles of things to sew. So no sewing but lots of cutting until it returns from the sewing machine hospital.ReplyDelete
I've been working on Easter Dresses for my girls this week- Your blog gave me the push to pull out my HS graduation present, my sewing machine, for the first time in YEARS! Here's the links to the 2 I've finished: http://wannabecrafter.blogspot.com/2009/04/its-little-big-but-we-like-it.html and http://wannabecrafter.blogspot.com/2009/04/dress-1-complete-simplicity-2677.html You'll recognize some of the fabric. :)ReplyDelete
Just finished a typewriter cover for my grandfather. He mailed me what was left of the decades-old plastic cover as a pattern -- I'm amazed it lasted this long. his new one is a very masculine navy (I had to resist the incredibly strong urge to add lime piping) with his name monogrammed on the front.ReplyDelete
He loves it. It makes me grin ear to ear that an old man would be so tickled by a few bits of fabric and thread.
I'm sewing a lot of recycle projects (halter tops from tees; laundry and beach bags. Working on purses and headbands. Whatever my creative mind takes me! ;DReplyDelete
semi-silly question: what kind of iron do you use? I am an ironing nut & have been using a black & decker but it is nearing the end of its life.ReplyDelete
Thanks, Cheryl in IN.

Today it is Good Friday and I don´t sew at all. Next week I with my pupils continue our bag project. There are bags of heavy cotton and bags of linen decorated with flower applique on the way. We sell the bags to raise money for our trips.ReplyDelete
Your fabrics are so beautiful! Happy Easter
Now THATS what my lap generally looks like!ReplyDelete
I'm putting together a couple of halterneck tops for a friends two girls. Delightful!
... think your amazing and talented!
I have just started a blue and white baby quilt. It's basically a scrap quilt because my sewing room is overflowing with fabric. I don't know how that happened.ReplyDelete
I'm sewing...bags of course! Making some for quilt market in May.ReplyDelete
The last picture makes me laugh. I often show up to pick the girls up from school with bits of thread hanging off of me!
- MichelleRenee8:23 PM
Just finished a beautiful shift for my daughter for Easter with your garden party rose fabric. Making three little girls purses for Easter with your lollipop fabric. About to start cutting out a spring coat for my daughter out of several of your drawing room fabrics. (That's funny. Just realized that all of my current projects are using your gorgeous fabric.) Also just received two of your new patterns that I'm dying to try for myself....and have committed to making at least five bags for my cousin to sell in an upcoming show... Wow, I'm tired.ReplyDelete
Hi Anna, I love your blog and your book! So this quilt on the wall, how did you get it to stay up there? I love that idea and how I have never thought of that is beyond me.. It that a specail board? Thanks for letting me see that I am not the only mom walking around town fully accessorized with "threads" all over.ReplyDelete
Thanks again,
Hi Anna Maria! I have a 2 year old daughter and a son on the way probably within the week! :) My house is clean, diapers are washed and his room is ready, so I've been sewing like crazy. I just moved the sewing machine downstairs so I could sew during my daughter's nap. I've made her several A-line dresses for this summer, and for the boy I've made some elastic pants and embellished onesies - so cute! They even have a few matching outfits. A few days ago I got brave and tried a collared shirt for him and it surprisingly turned out great! (I'm scared to put buttonholes on it, but other than that...!) I think I'm going to try the skirt in your book for my daughter next. When is your baby due?ReplyDelete
A quilt, of course! It is nearly done with only the borders to be added. Thank goodness this one was easy because last month's quilt nearly did me in. After that one is finished, it's onto pot holders for Mother's Day. Time is always well spent in the sewing room.ReplyDelete
Have a Happy Easter.
- knitknat12:08 AM
I have been feverishly finishing a quilt with some gorgeous brown linen combined with Garden Party fabrics as well as Good Folks. I have added a photo to the Flickr Garden Party Sewing Pool. I hope you like it, I know I have enjoyed the process of making it and am pleased with the outcome. Cheers!ReplyDelete
Your pictures are always so beautiful, but I gotta say that I literally snorted coffee when I saw the last picture of you with the threads everywhere. This is what sewing means to me. It's messy! I work in my unfinished basement, which is actually the perfect space because my work can be left out when duty calls. But I am almost always covered in little threads, tail ends, and ravels after a day of sewing. And of course everything sticks to my flannel PJ's and fleece pullovers! I consider those little pieces of thread a badge of honor. They say I am a maker and creator of wonderful things in multi-colored hues, and I wouldn't have it any other way.ReplyDelete
I'm working on trying to fill in some sizes of my designs for a craft show coming up in May, and trying to decide which fabric to choose for a new summer skirt. Thanks as always for the inspiration.
Well, I am brand new to sewing and the project that is my new project for the week is going to be one of yours "Magnetic Personality." I am sew looking forward to my very first sewing project. My mom bought your book Seams to me and I loved it sew much that I am trying a project:) Wish me luck! I will let you know how it goes!!ReplyDelete
Unfortunately, in this exact moment, I'm working although desperately WISHING and would prefer to be sewing. Come to think of it, your blog is an awful nice work break. I just finished a spring skirt for myself and I'm beginning a new quilt. This will be the first one I will actually keep and just might even use it on my own bed! I love all those quilts you have hanging on the ladder in your studio. So pretty!ReplyDelete
You are such a doll! Love the baby belly and sweater all covered in threads. Just finished sewing 3 new spring clothing designs, and currently working on some table runners. Dying to do a Spring colored quilt...oh, time where are you?ReplyDelete
LOL - I love your last picture. My family is always teasing me about always being covered in threads and fuzz!ReplyDelete
I LOVE your sewing table! The quilt is cool too. I'm sewing slipcovers and valances for a window seat...it's actually giving me a very big headache but at least I'll be making $500 out of it! :o)ReplyDelete
That has got to be the cleanest, shiniest iron I've ever seen in my life. I always sewing sockmonkeys. Maybe I'll make a dress for one, one of these days.ReplyDelete

FINDLAY, Ohio (AP) — The government wants to recoup benefits paid to the daughters of a man who was declared legally dead and then turned up alive years later.
Donald Miller Jr. disappeared in the 1980s, and a death ruling in 1994 allowed his family to get Social Security benefits. When the 62-year-old Miller resurfaced last August, saying he had lived in other states and then returned to Ohio, the government apparently took notice.
Miller has tried unsuccessfully to undo his death. Even as he stood in court last year providing evidence of his existence, a Hancock County judge turned down a request to bring him back to life, citing a three-year limit for changing a death ruling. The judge did acknowledge it was problematic.
Now the Social Security Administration wants his two daughters to return more than $47,000 to cover benefits they received as teenagers, plus interest, his ex-wife, Robin Miller, told The Courier in Findlay (http://bit.ly/1mSjyiQ). Letters about the requested repayments were sent in April, and the family was stunned, she said.
"If anybody has to pay this back, it should be him because we didn't do anything wrong," she said.
Donald Miller, of Fostoria, couldn't be reached for comment, and his attorney didn't return calls from the newspaper.
A Social Security spokesman, Doug Nguyen in Chicago, said the agency is reviewing Robin Miller's application for a waiver.
Robin Miller said the family didn't defraud the government and had taken steps to find Donald Miller after he vanished, including contacting the FBI and hiring a private investigator.
"We honestly thought he was done, dead, gone and out of our lives," she said.

Cattle prices in dollars per hundredweight (cwt.) except some replacement animals per pair or head as indicated.
(Federal-State Market News)
Oklahoma City-Des Moines
Jan. 10
Compared to Jan. 3: Cattle traded in the South Plains $2 higher but trades in Nebraska were yet to be established at time of report. Boxed beef prices Jan. 10 averaged $213.05, up $13.15. The Choice/Select spread is at $3.13. Slaughter cattle on a national basis for negotiated cash trades through Jan. 10 totaled about 21,250 head. Last week's total head count was 105,338 head.
Midwest Direct Markets: Live Basis: Steers and Heifers 35-80 Percent Choice, 1200-1400 lbs. $139.
Slaughter Cows and Bulls (Average Yielding Prices): Slaughter cows and bulls sold higher in all post-Holiday sales.
USDA's Cutter cow carcass cut-out value Friday morning was $172.29, up $1.46 from Jan. 3.

This week Last week Last year
306,400 101,800 400,100
Compared to the last good test of feeder cattle, which was the week ending Dec. 20, feeder cattle and calves sold fully $3-10 higher with routine instances as much as $20 higher. There are simply no superlatives left to describe buyer demand and never-before-seen price levels. All classes of beef cattle (feeders and fats) plus boxed beef cut-out values were equally entrenched into new record-high territory. In an effort to chase down dressed steers and heifers, both Select and Choice cut-outs blew by record levels most recently reached in late May 2013, which included much more desirable grilling weather than mid-January.
Jan. 10 Choice closed at $214.98 while Select ended the week's trading at $211.58. Finished cattle were higher once again this week with the Southern Plains feedyards selling mostly $2 higher at $139, while Nebraska feedlots reached $140 on live sales and $222 in the beef, which was $4 higher than last week.
Feeder cattle markets were even more active on fairly light receipts this past week as dangerously cold temperatures kept many producers from getting their cattle to the salebarn. Limited direct sales were also higher but country bids have a hard time keeping up with such sharply higher prices that can only be reached in an auction setting.
At the Bassett, Neb., Livestock Auction on Jan. 8, a houseful of farmer-feeders pushed price levels to new all-time world record highs with over 350 head of top quality 6 weight steers averaging 638 lbs. at $211.34. A pot load of fancy red-hided 655 lb. steers brought $211 and over 150 head of fancy 581 lb. steers averaged $229.41.
The nearly 400 head of Sandhill reputation 600-700 lb. heifers actually sold higher than the steers, but some rationale could be realized as most of these were purchased for replacements.
Corn prices fell to their lowest level in over three years this week, adding jet fuel to the fire, but Friday's USDA Crop Production Annual Summary reduced the 2013 corn yield by 1.6 bushels per acre to an average of 158.8 bushels. Feed and ethanol demand were also adjusted upward to reduce year-ending corn stocks to 1.63 billion bushels, which was still 30 percent more than the same time a year ago. Yet, support-starved CBOT corn contracts still surged more than 20 cents/bu Jan. 10, which could temper feeder demand should it continue.
Heavy receipts of feeder cattle are expected next week in response to the New Year market and to a forecasted break in the weather. Depending on how the market reacts to heavier supplies, we may be talking about the first full week of 2014 for a long time. This week's reported auction volume included 62 percent over 600 lbs. and 40 percent heifers.

No trends due to the holidays the last two weeks and market not reported. Trade moderate this week as producers respond to higher markets. Demand remains good. Market experts say grain prices will be lower in 2014 due to high global production and ending stocks. The feeder supply included 56 percent steers and 44 percent heifers.
