Saturday Sermon: The ballad Of Mary Magdalene
By Mike Gresham

I am not a musician and have never claimed to be a musician. I can sing in the shower if no one is listening. The only instrument that I can play is the radio.
However, as I have perused the Easter story this year, I was impressed with something I realized about Mary Magdalene. The testimony that she might bear of the things that she had seen that first Easter Sunday morning could form the foundation of a great ballad.
"I have seen the empty tomb."
Mary was first to the tomb that Easter Sunday morning. She left Bethany early in the morning before daylight. She had no idea how she would roll away the stone that they had set at the passage leading to Jesus' tomb.
But upon her arrival something troubled her even more. The stone had been rolled away already. She saw the empty tomb and rushed back to tell the others.
"I have seen the folded clothes."
After Peter and John returned to the tomb, they looked inside to discover the tomb was not only empty, but the clothes that Jesus was buried in were neatly laid aside, and also the headpiece was carefully folded.
This was not the work of some malicious grave-robber. Something much bigger was going on. And when Peter and John left, Mary stooped inside the tomb and saw what they had seen.
"I have seen the angels."
Once inside the tomb, Mary saw something Peter and John did not see: two angels. One was at the foot and one at the head of the tomb. Most of us can say we have never seen an angel; Mary saw two. What a spectacle.
"I have seen the Lord."
Such a spectacular thing as seeing two angels would have made headline news that day - except for the fact that Mary almost immediately beheld something greater. Looking back out of the tomb she saw someone who she supposed to be the gardener.
And then, He spoke. Not he spoke, but He spoke. He simply uttered her name, "Mary." I don't know if she recognized the voice, the inflection or just the compassion, but she knew immediately that He was Jesus.
Jesus, who she had witnessed dying Friday, she now witnesses very much alive Sunday. As she returned again, she could testify, "I have seen the Lord."
I am not a musician and have never claimed to be a musician. However, I recognize the makings of a holy ballad here. Let me encourage you who are musicians to do the rest.
I hope that you will spend this Easter season worshiping in a congregation of your choosing. Jesus is alive, and that's something about which we can all sing.
Mike Gresham is the pastor of First Baptist Church in Port Lavaca.

In every long-term relationship, there comes a Valentine's Day (or perhaps a birthday) where one confronts an uncomfortable truth: Heart-shaped boxes of chocolates make boring gifts. In fact, most of the classic sweetheart presents show no creativity. Twee little pastel parcels of cupcakes? So 2010!
In this gallery, selections span the spectrum from messy DIY to hipster to downright spicy. We hope it inspires you next time you want to give somebody a little sugar.

These adorable little Italian cousins to the doughnut could overtake macaroons as the "trendy" mini-dessert of the moment, but there are a couple hurdles to overcome: First, almost no one in the United States knows what they are. Second, they're hard to locate. Still a specialty item found only in select big-city Italian delis and bakeries (most famously New York's Bomboloni Café, pictured here), these delicious and decadent morsels inspire endless debate among fans, and instant fascination from dessert-lovers who see them for the first time. A diminutive morsel that makes a big impression - worth seeking out if you want to impress.

And yet another winner from the Italians: Budino is Italian pudding - however, because it's usually only available in Italian fine-dining restaurants, and Kraft has never offered it up in powder form, it's got a much better rep than regular pudding. If your significant other always leans toward the flan, crème brulee or panna cotta on the dessert menu, then budino will be a sweet end note on a special night: Salted caramel for the savory-loving palates, Meyer lemon for those who like a bit of tart. (Psst: If you don't know where to find this dessert, any restaurant with a Mario Batali connection is a good place to start the search.) Chill in your refrigerator with a nice bottle of Prosecco, and serve by candlelight, to share.

If your partner 'oohs' and 'ahhs' over baby animal pictures on Facebook or anything else done en miniature, the sweetie-on-a-stick shtick is just right for them. Cake pops (pictured) are easy to find and often delicious, but if you don't want to be suspected of gift-shopping at Starbucks, you may want to go for something a bit less mainstream, like mini-waffles on sticks, or chocolate-covered salted caramels on sticks. For extra points, find anything heart-shaped, pink or featuring a smiley face.
Party planners report that fancy candy bars are increasingly in demand on dessert buffets or as favors. In its gourmet rendition, this dessert resembles nothing you've ever seen in a drugstore candy aisle. Artisan producers like Chuao Chocolatier or Dagoba Organic Chocolate use only the finest ingredients to create intensely rich and flavorful bars: Chuao's signature is the chile-infused Spicy Maya, while Dagoba satisfies sweet-tart desires with its Beaucoup Berries Bar. For something even more specialized, get a treat handmade from the gourmet sweet shop in your town.

Intimidating at first, chocolate fondue is actually among the most fun of all desserts, especially for people who like to assemble their food. This gorgeous fondue kit from Godiva includes all the gear, and the chocolate too. To dip, try not just strawberries and cookies, but also bananas, oranges, dried apricots, rum balls, or gourmet handmade marshmallows. This is a great treat to share with other twosomes, and always a hit at bachelorette parties as well.

When the weather outside is frightful, sticky puddings are so delightful. Just ask Brits, Canadians, or any other destination that has to deal with frigid rains, thick slush in the streets, and a shortage of daylight. While the traditional English version can be tooth-achingly sweet and chewy, contemporary versions like the sticky date pudding pictured (served at the Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge) are smaller and more delicate, but still rich and dense enough to hit the spot on a damp, cold night. Plus, it's usually not a bad thing for couples to get a little bit sticky...in the proper setting, of course.

If your sweetheart has a stack of tabloids hiding somewhere in the house or a shameful Access Hollywood addiction, do we have the sweet surprise for you: The red velvet pancakes pictured here are the signature dish at The Griddle Café on Sunset and Fairfax, in the heart of Tinseltown. So many TV stars, tabloid regulars and gorgeous wanna-bes frequent these tables and gorge on layer cake-sized, whipped cream-covered, zillion-calorie pancakes, a single visit can change one's mind about the whole "Hollywood doesn't eat" myth. And if you can't make it to Hollywood (or can't spend two hours waiting for a table at the restaurant), the Griddle now sells Red Velvet panCAKE Mix online.

Looking for the dessert equivalent of the indie movie It Girl? The bun is it for 2012. With its British beginnings, nonchalant disregard for dietary restrictions, and hipster fan club, the bun is the pastry equivalent of Adele, just before she went mainstream. It remains to be seen whether this trend will go big the way the songstress did...but Brooklyn's trying pretty hard to make it happen. And in the meantime, it's a quirky treat that can brighten up a hipster morning. (Pictured: blueberry lemon mini-buns from Jane's Sweet Buns.)

When trend reports identified vegetable desserts as a trend to look out for in 2012, we cringed. Then we remembered that both Bradley Ogden and Thomas Keller have incorporated beets in chocolate cake desserts recently, and they're not the only ones. So yes, desserts that incorporate vegetables can be an unexpected treat, when done right. Another case in point, the butternut squash crème brulee served at gourmet Indian restaurant Junoon in Manhattan, and pictured here. For couples who like trying new things together, bond over the oddness of this new dessert trend and see whether you agree with the experts.

For reasons not immediately visible to the naked eye, pie is a dish with a lot of emotional undertones. When you give it to a stranger, it says "I have good intentions, and traditional values." When you give it to a significant other, it says "We're a family." (Probably one with children.) Visually, it isn't as flashy as some sweets, but technically, it's among the most difficult to make. Enthusiasts compare pie-making to a science...or to meditation. Writer/baker Beth Howard, who made the pie pictured here, published the memoir Making Piece on Harlequin Nonfiction this winter. It tells how she dealt with the untimely death of her husband through baking and gifting pies. Recipes are included.
As we said before, pie is not a dish to underestimate. It may not be the prettiest, but it signifies the most. Only give it if you're sure.

Honolulu police have made an arrest in the murder of Oahu realtor Mary Beth San Juan.
A 41-year-old man, whom police say is an acquaintance of San Juan, is now being held for second-degree murder.
On Saturday at about 2:30p.m., police made an arrest at Ala Moana Shopping Center, after looking for the murder suspect all morning.
The suspect was first taken to the hospital for unrelated injuries and then brought into cell block, where police can begin their formal questioning.
Police have been working around the clock since Tuesday night after San Juan's body was found brutally murdered and wrapped in a carpet in her Punahou Street driveway.
Vernon Baker, 41, is the man they believe is responsible for her murder.
"I think it will make the public rest more east knowing he's in custody," HPD Maj. Richard Robinson said.
Police would only say that Baker was an acquaintance of San Juan, but would not go into details of exactly how the two knew each other.
They said the tips from the public helped lead to this arrest.
"We had two very critical tips from the public. One helped to identify the suspect, the other helped us identify a critical piece of evidence," Robinson said.
San Juan's car was left on Kalakaua Avenue sometime between early Monday morning to mid-day Tuesday, after it was driven to an ATM, where the suspect dressed in a disguise and withdrew money from her bank account.
"The suspect matches the general description of the person in that video," Robinson said.
Two nights ago a key break in the case, where a man who collects recyclable cans found San Juan's wallet placed in a garbage bag in front of the Waikiki Beachside Hostel.
Police believe the suspect was staying in Waikiki, but would not confirm where.
But the witness who found the wallet said he saw the garbage bag come directly out of the hostel. Police are not listing a local address for the suspect.
"We just made the arrest, now another phase starts. So now, we're in the preliminary stages of that investigation, so DNA is now connecting more of the pieces together," Robinson said.
Baker has not yet been charged.
Police say they are not looking for any other suspects at this time.

As I am starting my next quilt, a Quilt As You Go styled one, I am choosing to go with pins, what are your thoughts on basting? Thank you in advance for sharing your thoughts. :)
Proud Owner of a Necchi Supernova BU, it sews magnificently! ♥
Love all these great suggestions.
Gini I'm having a crapola day also.
Flo, sorry for your problems as well. My carpal tunnel is getting worse in my right hand, had the surgery on my left hand and it's a lot better. Guess it's time for surgery again.
Millbury, MA
Sorry to read that your hands kept you awake.
I'm allergic to Aspirin. Tylenol and Ibuproven.. but I have found that homeopathic remedies work forr me. For arthritis pain I use Zeel and that is made by Heel. If my hands hurt I put on Arnica crème. All those things are available on line or in a Health food store. There is also an Arnica-Traumeel crème, but I haven't tried that yet. There are no side affects to homeopathic remedies.
My daughter got me started on them several years ago when visiting her in Jacksonville, FL. I had one of my sinus head aches and she handed me two little pills and she told me to stick them under my tongue. I did it and she came about 20 minutes later to ask how my head ache was. It was gone. That was the first time in years and years that I got rid of sinus pressure headache in 20 minutes and I was truly amazed. That's when I started to use more and more homeopathic remedies. The sinus remedy is called Sinusalia and it's made by Boiron.
So, Agnes, you are pressing it with the iron? Don't you get distortion? How large of quilts do you baste this way? It sounds like a great method for smaller quilts. What is your ratio of h2o to glue, and if you get it going the wrong way, is it easy to lift off and reposition? I know myself, if something can go wrong with a technique, I will find it.

I'll try to answer your questions. Yes, I press with an iron. I get no more distortion than I have with any other method. I always pressed my quilts with the spray basting as well so the pressing was already a valued part. Because I am limiting myself to making smaller quilts the largest I have used this method for is 50 x 70 inches.
Water proportion depends a bit on your brand of glue. I didn't buy Elmer's but another brand. Smells just the same as Elmer's but is a little thinner to start with. For this last quilt I thinned about 50-50 and found it a bit thick so I just added a bit more water. The reason I say I found it thick is because it gave me resistance while 'painting" I find it sticks well enough if I can freely move the brush on the batting. Like so many things this is hard to explain.
Sometimes I think it would be nice if the glue wasn't the same color as the batting. I can certainly tell when I am hand stitching the binding where I have double coated a small section. I have much greater stitching resistance and the sandwich is stiffer.
I make sure to lightly smooth the fabric onto the batting before I put the iron to it. Just that little action wicks the moisture through the fabric. Until you have pressed it there is no problem positioning and lifting it to correct waywardness. The heat of the iron is there to remove the excess moisture and subsequently keep it in place. A little glue goes a long way. If you had it pressed down and then wanted to move it again spraying with water to loosen the bond would undo it. With my last quilt I had some batting stuck on the trimmed off pieces of fabric. I put it in the basin with water and the glue dissolved to easily remove the batting.
Just for interest sake. Roxanne's basting glue is a very expensive way to buy Elmer's washable school glue.
Can't think off hand of something going really wrong with this method that can't be saved. On a white backing while pressing I thought I had kept the iron too long on one spot and scorched the fabric. After washing the mark was gone. My iron had been set higher than cotton so I now make sure that it is on the cotton setting. It wasn't the fabric but the glue that had turned color but it washed away.

The way I look at it, I still have full use of my hand, it just occasionally has issues. God was very good to me!
Thanks Gini that was a great tutorial. I basically do the same thing.
Thanks for the detailed explanation, Agnes. That helps give me a picture of how to do this.

Marianne, I'm not allergic to any of the NSAIDs, so I'll stick with them. I don't have arthritis, I have nerve pain from overuse. They are much better today after IBU and ice for a couple of days. Arnica shouldn't be taken with drugs that slow blood clotting. I take an aspirin a day, so it is counterindicated. Arnica is also very poisonous if ingested, or put on broken skin, and I have small children around. I don't consider homeopathic remedies necessarily innocuous. Potency depends on how they are prepared and how they interact with drugs you may be taking or conditions you may have. As with any drug, homeopathic or not, research and proceed with caution.
I'm happy that you're not allergic to NSAIDs.
I can't turn on my sewing machine. It's raining and lightening and I don't have the same protection as on the computer.
I need to explain about the Arnica Montana in homeopathic remedies. In a 1 x, there are 100 particles of the filler and one particle of the Montana. A 2 x would be 100x1oo filler (I believe that would be ten thousand particels of the filler to1 particle Anica Montana. In a 3X it's about 1 Million filler particels to one Arnica. So by the time it's a 6x, it's pretty diluted and that kicks the body into healing and does no harm. Most people use the 6C, which stands for a thousand. IC is a thousand filler to one. In a 6C it would be trillions of filler particals to one of the Arnica. I checked the Arnica crème, it's for bruising, overuse, falls and other injuries. It is in a 1x formula and for external use only and to keep away from children, just like any man made chemical pain crème. It's manufactured in France.
My kids are grown up, but our youngest grandson visits often, he's 4 years old. He's into cardboard boxes right now. we keep all meds away from him. Marianne
Thanks for the detailed explanation, Agnes. That helps give me a picture of how to do this.
Gini--You're very welcome. I'll gladly share methods or something I've learned anytime.
gini:I don't consider homeopathic remedies necessarily innocuous.
Gini--Fully agree. Had a friend who would get thumped into the hospital several times a year to straighten out his whole system because of the mixing of various drugs and homeopathic remedies. He just never seemed to learn that he was doing more harm than good.
I use spray but I don't use the expensive stuff from JoAnn's or the LQS. I go to the frame shops and you can get the same spray for about 1/4 the cost. I have asthma and so far the fumes haven't bothered me, but I either open a window or turn on the overhead fan. However, I also pin the quilt but not very much. Basically just around the edges and a big X just as a precaution. With my eyesight these days I may not have sprayed very well. Since I've been spraying the backs look so much nicer.
After watching a video on YouTube on hand basting a quilt using a herringbone stitch and 2 boards I was wondering if any of you use this method and how you like it?
The video I watched was Hand Basting a Quilt by SharonSchamber in 2 parts. She makes it look so easy.
from TN
Bev :The video I watched was Hand Basting a Quilt by SharonSchamber in 2 parts. She makes it look so easy
I've always pin basted my quilts which I find very easy to do with the larger bent safety pins. But the pins are a pain when I start the quilting. So today, I'm doing my very first hand basting a lap quilt. Much more tiring on my hands but it's going well.
Bev, I'll have to see if I can find that video. Thanks.
In the beautiful Pacific Northwest!

In this entry, we're going to look up what our public facing IP address is, using the Python modules, re, requests and BeautifulSoup. It's going to send a request to whatismyip.com with requests, then we're going to parse the returned HTML in BeautifulSoup, so we can break it up, and navigate through it a lot easier, and then finally, use re to grab the IP address and print it to the screen.
Hit the jump for the tutorial!
UPDATE: User rdssassin on reddit just told me that http://jsonip.com exists here. Here's the easiest way to get your ip in 4 lines:
import requests r = requests.get(r'http://jsonip.com') ip= r.json()['ip'] print 'Your IP is', ip
Anyways, below is the original post. It sort of works as a BeautifulSoup/regex tutorial, but really, just use the 4 liner above.
UPDATE 2: It turns out there's actually a bunch of great websites for doing this, instead of whatismyip.com:
- http://curlmyip.com/ credit to Buttscicles
- ipaddr.me. credit to -ajp-
- http://www.icanhazip.com/ credit to Koooba
import requests r = requests.get(URL FROM THE LIST ABOVE) ip= r.text print 'Your IP is', ip
I'm running a Windows 7 64bit machine, with Python 2.7 64bit, so you might have to make some changes to the code to account for the differences between our machines.
Naturally, you'll need to grab the two third party modules from PyPy or their homepages, or maybe check out the 64bit repository, if that's what you need, like I did. As usual, I'll go through the code piece by piece, and include the whole thing at the very bottom of the page. So first, we're going to import the modules we'll need, requests, BeautifulSoup class from the BeautifulSoup library, and the regex library for Python, re.
import requests from BeautifulSoup import BeautifulSoup import re
Then we'll need to set a customized User-Agent for the GET call, since WhatIsMyIP seems to ban any non-recognized user-agent. They put up a page to explain why here. In order to create a custom header in requests, all we need to do is pass in a dictionary with the proper key-value pairs to the get function as the argument 'header' when we send the request. The key is the string 'user-agent' and the value is the Mozilla one you see below.
#set the user-agent to the one specified by whatismyip.com header = {'user-agent': 'Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:12.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/12.0',}
Then we create a reference to the proper URL at whatismyip.com so we can pass it to the get request, along with the custom header, as discussed above. The requests.get function returns a request object that contains all sorts of information, like what the response code was (ie whether it's a 404 Not Found response or not) or what the response's header was. We'll specifically need the content attribute for later, when we parse it for the IP.
#the url we want to grab the ip from url = r'http://whatismyip.com' #build the request, with the proper user-agent in the custom header r = requests.get(url, headers=header)
Next up, we convert the response's content to a BeautifulSoup object, which allows us to parse the returned HTML very very easily. So we pass in the response's content to create an instance of the BeautifulSoup class, and call the reference soup. Then we call its findAll method to find all classes called 'div' with the attribute 'ip'.* This returns a list of BeautifulSoup objects that contain the div and id we were looking for. Lastly, we assume there is only going to be one instance of the div/id pair, and keep only the first object in the list, at index 0. You can easily add a few lines that make sure it's the right soup you have, instead of making the assumption here. * I am not familiar with the HTML terminology for those things, so forgive me, and feel free to post the corrections in the comment section below
#convert html to soup soup = BeautifulSoup(r.content) #find the line with the IP address on it ip = soup.findAll('div', id='ip')[0]
Now we need to make sure that the text we have found is human-readable, so we convert all the HTML entities to a string, so for example '2' would become '2' instead. This conversion allows us to parse the string more easily with regex. We create a new BeautifulSoup class instance with the text attribute from the results from out findAll method above, and make sure to set the convertEntities argument to HTML_Entities, to ensure we can get the proper conversion.
#then, convert the HTML entities raw_public_ip_line = BeautifulSoup(ip.text, convertEntities=BeautifulSoup.HTML_ENTITIES)
I won't go into the expression below, but essentially it finds 3 groups of integers, split up by periods. {1,3} means find 1, 2, or 3 instances of the preceeding token. The preceeding token was [0-9] which means find a digit between 0 to 9. These two token were wrapped in parens, along with a period (with a backslash so it's treated as a period rather than a wildcard token) to ensure that they are treated as one combine token, like so: (([0-9]{1,3}\.) . Then following the parens, there's a {3} token, meaning find 3 of the preceeding token. Then finally find another 1, 2, or 3 numbers. So:
- 1. find a digit between 0 to 9 –> 1
- 2. repeat step one up to two more times for a total of 3 –> 167
- 3. find a period after the results of step 2. –> 167.
- 4. repeat step 3, 2 more times, for a total of 3 –> 167.16.256.
- 5. repeat step two once. –> 167.16.256.4
Then we compile the pattern into a regex friendly object, then apply the pattern to the string of text we built above, using the re.search function. Now public_ip contains the string with your IP in it.
##match this regexp ([0-9]{1,3}\.){3}([0-9]{1,3}) #compile the regex pattern for re pattern = re.compile('([0-9]{1,3}\.){3}([0-9]{1,3})') #find the first instance of the patter in the string raw_public_ip's text attribute public_ip = re.search(pattern, raw_public_ip.text) #print it out print 'Your Public IP is: {}'.format(public_ip.group(0))
Simple eh? Here's the full code:
import requests from BeautifulSoup import BeautifulSoup import re #set the user-agent to the one specified by whatismyip.com header = {'user-agent': 'Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:12.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/12.0',} #the url we want to grab the ip from url = r'http://whatismyip.com' #build the request, with the proper user-agent in the custom header r = requests.get(url, headers=header) #convert html to soup soup = BeautifulSoup(r.content) #find the line with the ip in it # which is in a div, with id 'ip' ip = soup.findAll('div', id='ip')[0] #then, convert the HTML entities raw_public_ip = BeautifulSoup(ip.text, convertEntities=BeautifulSoup.HTML_ENTITIES) #match this regexp '[0-9].*?(?=N)' # or '[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}' # or ([0-9]{1,3}\.){3}([0-9]{1,3}) #compile the regex pattern for re #pattern = re.compile('[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}') pattern = re.compile('([0-9]{1,3}\.){3}([0-9]{1,3})') #find the first instance of the patter in the string raw_public_ip's text attribute public_ip = re.search(pattern, raw_public_ip.text) #print it out print 'Your Public IP is: {}'.format(public_ip.group(0))

Robert Bose, regional managing director middle east and Africa, speaks to journalist during a blackBerry press conference in Lagos, Nigeria. Tuesday, Sept. 25, 2012. The company that makes BlackBerry smartphones is looking to Africa to help its troubled sales. Officials with Toronto-based Research In Motion Ltd. told journalists in Lagos, Nigeria, on Tuesday that its handsets are the No. 1 choice among those using smartphones in Nigeria and South Africa. Officials say that in Nigeria alone, its phones represent one out of every two phones in the market, an incredible grip on the market of Africa's most populous nation and BlackBerry phones remain such a pop culture fascination in Nigeria that it spawned a popular local film "BlackBerry Babes." .(AP Photo/Sunday Alamba)
LAGOS, Nigeria (AP) — In a film recently made in Nigeria, a man stops a beautiful woman, suavely trying to get her to talk to him. Instead she pouts her lips and looks down at her hands, barely able to hold all of the BlackBerry phones she owns.
"If you really want to talk to me, get me a BlackBerry Bold 3 ... then and only then, you can talk to me," the woman says in the now-infamous Nollywood film "BlackBerry Babes," which follows the hijinks of beautiful women in short skirts manipulating their way to getting new mobile phones.
For troubled BlackBerry-maker Research In Motion Ltd., the stilted dialogue in Nigerian English sounds like money in the bank. The mobile phones made by RIM hold the dominant market share in both Nigeria and South Africa, two of the biggest economies on the African continent. Now opening an office in Nigeria, RIM hopes to hold onto that African advantage as its sales in Western nations tumble, company officials say.
"This is one of the fastest growing mobile markets in the world," said Robert Bose, RIM's regional managing director for the Middle East and Africa.
In Nigeria, two out of four smartphones are BlackBerry models, company officials said Tuesday during a news conference in Lagos, citing market research. The number of Nigeria smartphone users is expected to grow from 4 million at the end of 2011 to 25 million at the end of 2016, according to forecasts by Informa Telecoms & Media.
How Nigeria became enthralled with BlackBerry begins with the collapse of its state-run telephone company. Fixed, landline telephone numbers now barely exist in Africa's most populous nation with more than 160 million people. Mobile phones now fill that void, with those who can afford it often carrying two or three handsets as networks routinely drop calls. And as the nation's power supply remains erratic at best and people work a variety of jobs, the hard-keyed BlackBerry fills the void left by the absence of functional offices.
The phones' prices also make ownership a sign of status as well in a nation where most earn less than $2 a day. Business partners routinely communicate over BlackBerry's message service and the young incessantly share their gossip.
"I think people equate having a BlackBerry to a certain level of success," Bose said.
For some, BlackBerry remains the only constant means of accessing the Internet, while 94 percent of phone owners regularly use its messaging service, the officials said.
The Nigerian and African experience for RIM comes as the mobile phone manufacturer faces tougher times elsewhere. RIM's software is still focused on email, and is less user-friendly and agile than iPhone or Android. The company's attempts at touch screens largely failed and its applications lag behind its competitors.
RIM's U.S. share of the smartphone market dropped from 44 percent in 2009 to 10 percent in 2011 according to market researcher NPD Group. The company still has 78 million active subscribers worldwide.
"There's been a tectonic shift" away from hard key BlackBerry phones in North America to touch screen phones, Bose said. To halt a similar march here, Bose and others announced they will open an office in Lagos, as well as set up operations around the country to allow users to come in and update their phones' software for free. The company also has plans to offer applications for sale by having mobile phone carriers bill the user, rather than require credit cards, said Waldi Wepener, RIM's regional director for East, Central and West Africa.
Yet challenges remain. In Nigeria, the government currently faces a growing threat from a radical Islamist sect and secret police routinely watch and harass opposition leaders and journalists. Bose repeatedly declined to say whether Nigeria had asked for access to information from BlackBerry or demanded servers be set up in the country to monitor traffic. Other nations in the past have made similar demands of RIM. Some messages may still be encrypted, so it's not clear what nations could pull from it.
For now, though, RIM hopes to continue ride on its wave of popularity in Africa. And for the film "BlackBerry Babes," Bose simply said: "We're actually flattered by it."

Quiltville Custom Quilting
Strip Twist!
Approx 60 X76 including borders.
All from 2.5" strips!
This block is easier than it looks and you only need 12 blocks to finish this lap quilt.
This is my 2.5" strip bin!
I actually have 2 of these, and they are chock full of scraps that I have cut down to 2.5" strips. This bin comes in really handy for projects like this one!
For this quilt you will need strips in lights and darks, 2.5" wide, and I suggest at least 18" long. You will be cutting the strip sets into 8.5" sub sections, And you can get 4 block quarters from a strip set that is 18" long to begin with. Cutting strips from FQ's works really well, or you can use fabric yardage and REALLY long strips. The shortest your strips can be is 9". You just have to sew more strip sets together to get the number of block quarters you need to sew your blocks.
Let's begin!
Each "strip set" is made with 2 light strips alternating with 2 dark strips. I sew a light to a dark twice, press the seams towards the dark, and then put one set of two on top of the other set of two with right sides together. Press the center seam also towards the dark.
You need TWO strip sets of 4 strips each (shown above) before you can start cutting block sections.
I try to vary the colors between the two sets, and go for good contrast.
This step is IMPORTANT!! Always lay your bottom set with the dark towards you, and the top set with the lights on top of darks/darks on top of lights with RIGHT SIDES TOGETHER.
Square off one end of the layered strip sets, and subcut into 8.5" squares.
Now this step is IMPORTANT too.
Every set of blocks you make, you want to make sure that your diagonal cut goes the same direction. I am right handed, so I cut from the bottom right of the layered squares to the top left.
Now take these layered triangles to your machine and stitch down the diagonal edge with a 1/4" seam. Because you pressed all the seams towards the dark and the two layers are lights on darks, your seams will butt perfectly! It is easy to get them to match as you sew the seams. Press your block quarters open.
The first pic shows how to lay out the block quarters, the second pic shows how they look sewn together!
Do you see how the upper left and the bottom right block quarter have the tiny triangles pointing IN? The bottom left and upper right have the tiny triangles pointing OUT. This keeps the blocks spinning and adds alot of motion to the quilt.
Here are 3 blocks set side by side.
Most of the motion in the quilt comes when you set blocks TOGETHER. It starts to look like the "main" block is set on point inside the quilt!
I make a bunch of strip sets and different block quarters so that I have alot of variety when putting the block quarters together into blocks.
I would suggest making all the block quarters first, and then mix and match them into blocks as above, and that would help make sure that your colors are distributed through the quilt the way you want.
If you are really up for a challenge, try this with 2" strips! You would cut your strip sets into 6.5" squares, and then cut THOSE into the triangles. The method is the same, but you will end up with smaller blocks, lots more repeats, lots more scrappy motion!
After sewing the 48 block quarters into the 12 full blocks, arrange blocks in a manner pleasing to you, and stitch into rows. Sew rows together to complete quilt top center.
I framed this quilt with a 2" cut inner border (1.5" finished) and a 5" cut outter border.

Our blog
The future customer experience of travel
10 April 2017
Sarah Moseley
Blogs by author: Sarah Moseley, Head of Customer Innovation, Retail, Aviation & Travel, BT
In this digital age, changing consumer expectation levels have created new challenges and opportunities. One industry that's particularly changing is the aviation industry, where technology-led innovations such as online bookings, self-check-in, and electronic boarding passes, have already transformed the customer experience.
We can all relate to being passengers and the hope for a simple and quick experience when travelling. So it's not surprising that airlines are looking at ways to streamline efficiency around air travel, to remove as many functional touch-points (like check-in) as possible, and make it faster and easier for travellers to get from A to B. And this isn't something that's exclusive to airlines – we see the likes of trains, hotels, and other leisure activities following suit. But as an industry that's fairly tech-heavy, we wondered what the future customer experience could look like for travellers, so we've looked at the touchpoints a customer experiences when travelling by aeroplane, and share the innovation that's going to change the way the aviation industry runs in 2017 and beyond.
The pre-departure experience.
Your virtual housemate (DORIS) can detect that you have been working long hours and makes a suggestion that you should take a holiday. DORIS directs a virtual stream onto your third-generation TV – it's a cascade of inspiring images, words, sounds and prices calculated to get your travel juices flowing. You decide to book a flight.
A drone arrives at your home location to collect a bag of essential items only, and once the drone is loaded it takes off, heading to the airport's distribution centre. Once the bag arrives, Radio-Frequency Identification (RFID) tagging gives it a unique identifier, with end-to-end tracking visibility to ensure your baggage is delivered seamlessly to your end destination.
You didn't need to pack clothes or normal everyday items thanks to the 'Virtual Travel bag'. This is because the need for packing, transportation, or in-hold storage is removed as the airline has a detailed personal profile of you, your exact sizing, preferred brands and styles, and as a result all the appropriate clothing items are awaiting you in the wardrobe of your hotel.
The personal profile enables ultimate convenience for customers, and also gives the airline detailed intelligence into your preferences: they know what you like to drink and eat, your seat preferences, and your usual duty free choices all of which enables them not only 'to serve' but also to inspire, excel and cross/up-sell targeted services.
Your virtual housemate DORIS has already booked your hotel, knowing that you always like to stay in a four star hotel no more than a mile from the beach. She has also booked you into a hotel where you are likely to meet like-minded people who share your tastes in food, drink, and socialising.
At the airport.
Upon arrival at the terminal you are recognised by the geo-fencing, which triggers your phone to automatically connect to the Wi-Fi. Your phone opens the navigation app and directs your straight to the 'walk-through check-in' – no need to waste time looking at signs. You don't need to look at your phone either, because the guidance through the terminal is enhanced by Augmented Reality and appears on your digital eyewear, enabled by an intelligent software platform that makes the digital eyewear experience complete. You breeze through the 'walk through check-in' thanks to the identity information stored on your smartphone, your DNA footprint, and the facial recognition in the 'walk through check-in' area. They combine to form a robust level of identity management and securely enable you to progress with no intervention.
Whilst waiting in the lounge you can see the aircraft being manoeuvred into position by the airline's TaxiBot, which is a semi-robotic, pilot-controlled towing tractor. The TaxiBot provides a major reduction costs as a result of saving aircraft fuel, as well as lowers air pollution and noise level. The vehicle tows the aircraft close to the take-off point, which saves on engine fuel, but at take-off control is switched over to the pilot.
Using your favourite aviation app, you are able to see which of your social media friends and connections are on the same flight or in the airport at the time. You can use the functionality on the app to arrange to meet friends or colleagues.
At the gate you feel hungry so you re-visit the airlines' app to examine the menu. You choose what you would like to eat and drink on the aircraft and also have time to choose your duty free items which you can decide to collect when you return from your holiday or have it delivered to your home address.
Onboard the flight.
During the flight you decide to book a table at one of the restaurants in the area around your hotel. You call the airline's personal assistant number, and have a natural language conversation with a robot that listens to your requirements and suggests some restaurant options, before booking a window table so you can enjoy the beach view. You are unaware that you have just spoken to a robot, as its voice is human like.
Wi-Fi as standard on the aircraft means that you can enjoy the time on the flight and personalise the journey, whether that's by catching up on work, playing games on your mobile, or watching films on your tablet. Wi-Fi enables your flight to be an experience, rather than a tedious use of time where the only excitement comes from the food and drinks trolley.
However, the benefit isn't just for the customer, as Wi-Fi on board has opened up new revenue generation opportunities, such as charging premiums for special content or through allowing partners to advertise their services.
As the flight draws close to its destination, instead of being abruptly woken up by the cabin lights coming on, the health monitoring devices within the seat/flat-beds recognise that you are asleep and slowly awaken you with a series of light vibrations, and a gradual brightening of the lighting in your space, mimicking the sun rise and natural wake up patterns.
While the cabin crew prepare for landing, you decide you want a coffee, but instead of having to call for a steward you can use the airline app by simply speaking into it. The task management software interprets what you said and puts it onto the steward's priority list, which goes to all of the steward's smart devices. Much like a taxi management solution, a steward will only accept requests which have come in through their app, which allows them to deliver the coffee much faster.
Arrival at the destination.
Upon arrival you are collected by a driverless car, which has your name and details on the translucent window signage on the side of the vehicle, and has your hotel co-ordinates pre-entered to aid precise drop off. No paper work is needed, as the journey was booked by DORIS (who knows you like to travel in a mid-range car to get the best value for money) and you can see the confirmation on your smartphone, and track the journey as you go.
A couple of minutes outside the terminal and you are required to get out and walk through immigration, speedily thanks to the 'contactless' process enabled by the same combination of the identity data stored on your smartphone, DNA footprint, and the facial recognition that was used to get in to the airport.
As the driverless vehicle nears the hotel, the geo-fencing capability alerts the hotel of your imminent arrival and upon entering reception, the receptionist knows exactly who you are and has your room card ready. Check-in is once again contactless, fast, and efficient.
You go up to your hotel suite and find your bag of essentials waiting as promised, along with your 'virtual travel bag' full of new clothes and shoes in your favourite brands. On top you see an outfit perfect for your dinner (pre-selected by DORIS, who knows that you always like to dress casually after a long journey) – all you have to do is change and go and enjoy your stay.
Is this a step too far or a welcome advancement?
It's an exciting time of change for airlines, but this change also opens up new opportunities to innovate, attract passengers and open up revenue streams. Find out more about how we're supporting digital transformation across the aviation sector.

The U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) released an interpretation letter April 5, 2013, clarifying that nonunion employees can select anyone, including nonemployee union representatives, to accompany OSHA officials during safety inspections of their employer's worksite.
OSHA Deputy Assistant Secretary Richard Fairfax stated in the letter that OSHA allows workers at establishments without collective bargaining agreements to designate who will act on their behalf during inspections.
The letter, dated Feb. 21, 2013, was in response to a request from Steve Sallman, a health and safety specialist with the United Steel, Paper and Forestry, Rubber, Manufacturing, Energy, Allied Industrial and Service Workers International Union.
Sallman had asked whether workers at a nonunionized workplace could authorize a person affiliated with a union to act as their representative under the Occupational Safety and Health Act. This would include "representing the employee(s) as a personal representative" and "accompanying the employee on an OSHA inspection" in a nonunionized workplace.
Fairfax responded affirmatively that employees in a workplace without a collective bargaining agreement may designate a union-affiliated individual to act as their personal representative. In this capacity, nonemployee personal representatives may file complaints on behalf of an employee, request workplace inspections, participate in informal conferences, contest the abatement period in OSHA citations and participate in contest proceedings.
As for nonemployees accompanying OSHA officials during inspections, the actual OSHA standard states: "The representative(s) authorized by employees shall be an employee(s) of the employer. However, if in the judgment of the Compliance Safety and Health Officer, good cause has been shown why accompaniment by a third party who is not an employee of the employer (such as an industrial hygienist or a safety engineer) is reasonably necessary to the conduct of an effective and thorough physical inspection of the workplace, such third party may accompany the Compliance Safety and Health Officer during the inspection."
Even though the standard makes no reference to union representatives, Fairfax interpreted this to mean that a person affiliated with a union without a collective bargaining agreement can act as a walkaround representative on behalf of employees provided that the employees authorized the individual to do so and the OSHA inspecting officer approved the arrangement.
Critics of labor overreach fear that the interpretation may encourage unions to use OSHA complaints and inspections as an organizing tool to gain access to an employer's facility and exposure to its employees.
About 94 percent of the private sector is not unionized, said Michael J. Lotito, SPHR, a shareholder at Littler Mendelson, based in San Francisco.
Lotito said that organizations' focus on safety with proactive training and education programs should help minimize employees' resorting to third parties when inspections take place. Establishing safety committees is another good idea, he said. "Give the employees as many internal avenues for a voice as possible."

Five hours remain until the trade deadline arrives at 3 p.m., and the Rangers are not making much headway toward a starting pitcher.
The latest arm they've checked in on is Cubs right-hander Matt Garza, a former ALCS MVP with Tampa Bay. But Garza has been sidelined with a triceps injury, and only Monday threw his first bullpen session since leaving his last start July 21 after three innings.
The Rangers see him as a risk, even though Cubs manager Dale Sveum told beat writers the bullpen went well, and they've made little progress this morning toward a deal.
Garza, though, would be back for 2013 as he's arbitration-eligible for one more year. He is making $9.5 million this year, so the Rangers would be looking at around $3 million this year and maybe $12 million in 2013.
His return next season could be a key in the Rangers' thinking if they are fearing the worst with Neftali Feliz (elbow). Expect to hear on Feliz after the trade deadline passes.

Every year I'm thankful for the citrus season which helps us get through the darkest days of the year. Not only for the joy of peeling huge quantities of Clementine, reveling in their invigorating smell and burst of sweet juice in my mouth, but also for my all time favorite sweet pink grapefruit which I consume in all forms from juice to jams or simply on its own.
Pink grapefruit makes such a wonderful marmalade with its slightly bitter and translucent peels and is such an economical way to consume the bright fruit well throughout the year. All you need is a grapefruit, a lemon and some sugar and you're good to go! The rinds of citrus fruits are naturally high in pectin so you don't even need to add any; just a slow simmering of the peels will release it and turn your sweet and fruity water into a thick, jewel-toned marmalade – a breeze!
The result is a deliciously sticky spread that's both sweet and slightly tart; in my opinion a sharper and more interesting marmalade than the original orange we see everywhere. It's also incredibly versatile and at home on top of a hot buttered toast as much as spooned over ice cream, mixed into tarts, and simply accompanying cheese. No matter how you consume it it'll inevitably brighten your darkest days…
Pink Grapefruit Marmalade
Recipe from Saveur magazine
Active time: 1hr
Total time: 6hrs
Makes 2 half pint
1 medium pink grapefruit
2½ cups pure cane sugar
Juice of 1 lemon
Wash grapefruit under warm water. Halve crosswise and squeeze juice into a bowl. Remove seeds and tie them up in a small square of cheesecloth. Refrigerate juice until ready to use.
Using a small metal spoon, scoop out and discard pulp and membrane, leaving thick white pitch attached to peel. Halve grapefruit halves, then slice into strips about ¼" thick. Put peels, seeds, and 3 1/3 cups cold water into a wide heavy medium pot. Place a plate on top of peels to hold them under water. Set aside to let soak at room temperature for 4 hours and as long as overnight.
Put pot with peels, seeds, and water over medium to medium-low heat and simmer until peels are soft, about 25 minutes. Add sugar, lemon juice, and reserved grapefruit juice to pot and stir well. Increase heat to high and bring to a boil, stirring often. Reduce heat to medium to medium-low to retain a gentle simmer and cook marmalade, stirring frequently, until peels are translucent, jam thickens and turns amber, and temperature registers 212º-214º on a candy thermometer, about 40 minutes.
Remove pot from heat. Discard seeds and spoon hot marmalade into 2 sterilized half-pint jars. Let cool, then cover and store in the refrigerator for up to 4 weeks.

10/8/10 Sorano, Sovana, and Pitigliano
I've gotten really behind on blogging. I just got where it felt like a chore and I just couldn't do it. Tonight, I'm sitting in our apartment in Paris, and I'm going to try to get caught up. It's hard to blog about a Italy when we're now in France.
On the 8th, we drove to the area of Sorano, Sovana, and Pitigliano. The first town we visited was Sorono.
My guidebook mentioned that this is an area where there are a lot of caves and tombs cut into the tufa hillside. We only visited part of the village. We walked around an old castle area. It was quite interesting.
We next drove to Sovana, which was a beautiful little village.
The guidebook says that this town dates back to at least the 7th century BC, when the Etruscans were in residence. The next century it fell to the Romans. The town's major monoments are from tthe time when it was the capital of the Aldobrandeschi, a noble clan whoe domain extended over much of southern Tuscany and northern Lazio. Today, there are only about 100 residents.
The main street has an interested fishbone-patterned brick paving. It's been restored,m but has portions left in it's old state. It was load in 1580.
We visited the church Santa Maria. It was very beautiful. It was built in the 13th century, and has a unique sculpture from the 8th or 9th century called a ciborium, or canopy.
We also visited the Duomo. We weren't sure this was going to be open. We were greatly encouraged (made) to purchase a book from their large selection before entering. I'm so glad we did, because it was really interesting to see. The nucleus of the church was built in the 8th century or maybe even earlier. There are beautifully carved pillars that are from the 12th century. We also got to see the crypt. I was surprised by that, because my guidebook says it's closed to the public.
We had lunch in this town and a ristorante with a beautiful outdoor seating area.
I've already packed up my reciepts and notes of what we ate, but the restaurant was really good so I'll go back and write more about it later. I do remember we started out with mixed crostini. I had a pasta that had a sauce of zucchini blossoms and porcini mushrooms.
Then I had a really good lamb dish in a tomato sauce. That lamb was so flavorful and tender with no gamey taste at all.
The next town was Pitigliano. Unfotunately, we were running out of time and didn't have time to visit. Here's what it looked like while driving by.
I'm really glad we visited this area, and I'd love to go back and spend more time in the area.

|Summary, etc.:
| Over the years, Ann Spangler has read through the Bible several times, plowing straight through from Genesis to Revelation. But like many people who tend to be self-critical, Ann found it easier to absorb the harsher-sounding passages in the Bible than those that speak of God's love and compassion. Then one day, Ann listened as her friend Joan talked about a time in her life when she became convinced of God's love. Ann expected her friend to reveal something complicated and difficult, a tragedy perhaps that God had brought her through. But Joan had simply decided to set aside one month in which she would act as though God loved her. And that settled it for her-for good. In the months that followed, Ann decided to develop a remedial course in which she could reflect morning and evening on the most tender words of God in the Bible. She prayed that God's penetrating Word would transform her as she hunted through Scripture for words of mercy, compassion, peace, and protection. The Tender Words of God is the result of this process, offering ninety days of devotional readings on some of Scripture's most encouraging words. While the core of the book is Scripture, each week contains reflections and daily prayers that chronicle Ann's struggle to know God better. These are included not because she believes her quest is all that remarkable, but precisely because she knows it is ordinary, expressing as it does our common longing to love and be loved, especially by the One who made us. Ann invites you to join her on this journey to know God better, to let his tender words become like guardians at the beginning and at the end of each day, convincing you once and for all of his faithful, committed love.

Because leaders have to cast vision and inspire those on their teams to action, the ability to communicate well is a necessary skill each leader must have. So they question begs – how do you become a great public speaker?
Comic-Con is a 4-day event held annually to showcases comic books, science fiction and previews of some of the most anticipated upcoming movies. In Comic-Con 2013 the makers of Thor: The Dark World pleasantly shocked those in attendance when Thor's arch-nemisis Loki, played by Tom Hiddleston, made surprise appearance which must be seen above.
After watching Hiddleston's performance, I gleaned the following 16 Tips To Becoming A Great Public Speaker:
- Give People What They Want – Is what you are saying about you or your audience? Those who attend Comic-Con are looking for a memorable experience. They want to get advanced screenings of upcoming movies and see the stars of the film. Marvel went over-the-top in delivering on their desires. What is it that your audience truly wants from you?
- Start Small – Never despise small beginnings for greatness is often birthed and cultivated in secret. As Hiddleston said in the interview below, "I'm a stage actor. I trained at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art. 7,000 is the biggest gig I've ever played."
- Earn The Right To Be Heard – Because of the success of Hiddleston's character Loki in the Thor and Avengers movies, the film's producers knew Loki would be wholeheartedly (and that is an understatement) well-received.
- Create Tension – Comic-Con did this by turning off the lights.
- Use Theatrics – The use of lights, multi-media and other forms of theatrical communication create experiences your audience will talk about days, weeks and months later.
- Respect Your Audience – One of the reasons the Marvel movie franchise is so popular is they respect their audience. The producers of Thor: The Dark World realized their expectations were high so they created an interactive experience with Loki himself.
- Sympathize With Your Audience – The audience must know you understand their struggle. Hiddleston mentioned they had "lined up in the sweltering heat for hours."
- Speak To Those Who Are There To Hear Your Message – As Seth Godin has taught us, as a speaker are you more concerned with the one critic/heckler or the 99 who are there to hear what you have to say. Focus on the 99.
- Wonderfully Surprise Your Audience – As a public speaker, are you and your format predictable? When promoting movies at Comic-Con the actors and directors traditionally participate in a panel Q&As. No one had ever come out in complete character as Hiddleston did.
- Engage Your Audience – Do you speak to your audience or at them? Through body-language, facial expression and other gestures, Hiddleston made the audience part of the experience.
- Own The Content – Great communicators have mastery over their content and how best to communicate it. This is evidenced by the phrase, "The bright lure of freedom diminishes your life's joy in a mad scramble for a place in this chamber, this meager palace of Midgard, in the arena they call Hall H."
- Leverage What Is Familiar – As a public speaker you have content and techniques which are time-tested and previously well-received. Use them!
- Create Memorable Bottom Lines – Think of the top 5 sermons or speeches you have ever heard. Now, what do you remember about them? I suspect it is a story or memorable bottom line. Hiddleston's memorable bottom line is "I am Loki from Asghard and I am burdened with glorious purpose."
- Use Humor – Humor disarms your audience and creates a connection.
- Deliver Your Speech/Sermon With Passion – As Hiddleston reached a crescendo with the phrases, "Say my name. Say my name. SAY MY NAME!!!", his passion energized those in attendance.
- Deliver Your Speech/Sermon With Excellence – Audiences no longer accept average. They will not be reduced to a level of mediocrity. However, as demonstrated by Hiddleston's speech, they will line up for hours for excellence.
If you want to become a great public speaker and/or preacher, I cannot recommend enough the Preach Better Sermons event below. This is a FREE online conference which all speakers should sign up for. Click HERE or on the image below and register today.

Every neighborhood has one, right? You know, "that house" where the paint is chipping, and the morning glory is overtaking the grass and the tree has been dead for two years and still, it's just sitting there mocking you every time you walk by?
Well, I am here to admit that in my neighborhood, I own "that house." So this weekend we decided to do something about it. I walked into my husband's office at about 11:30 and said, "What would you say if I said I wanted to paint the door blue?" His answer? "Which door, like, the front door?" I'm pretty sure my grin said it all.
Here's my door on Saturday morning, with the paint chipping off the trim. Pretty boring too.
Going from that to blue would be a real shock, so you can see why Brad questioned painting the front door blue. But it's not really a bright blue, it's this blue-ish gray that I picked up a few months ago off the Home Depot "oops" shelf for 50¢. That's right, 50¢. OK, I did need two, so my total project was $1.00.
Brad decided to help me scrapbook, so he grabbed the camera and took a working shot or seven.
Here are a few tips I have.
#1. Prime first. I really was excited to just paint paint paint. But, I did it right and I'm pretty sure I will be happy I did. First I washed the door and trim, scrubbing off any extra paint chips from the trim, and getting the goopies off the door. Then I primed with primer we had leftover from when they painted our house before we moved in. We're still using it.. there was enough to do our whole basement and we still have a 5 gallon bucket left. (Anyone in the neighborhood have a need for primer?)
#2. Take your time. Paint all in one direction, or else you will have crazy crosshatch streaks going on. Now, I did go around the grooves in my door first to fill them in, but after that, it was all up and down, no side to side. It would have been easier and faster to just slap it all over, but it looks so much better with any streaks going in the same direction.
#3. Use an itty bitty brush for the details. I didn't tape anything off. I left my doorknob and peeper hole exposed. (sorry, I know that sounds dirty, but I just can't take it out because I'm giggling too hard.) But I grabbed a little paint brush from my art supplies to go around them well. I think it was so much faster than using tape on those round and little things.
#4. Use the right kind of paint. I didn't. I used basic Martha Stewart Interior paint. But I sprayed it with a sealer after I had done two coats. I just used the same Krylon sealant I use when I hang painted decorations outside. Sure, it won't last forever, but I'm pretty sure that next year I'll want to paint my door another color anyway. And honestly, it only took me a few hours total (with drying time in between coats and to little munchkins trying to "help") to do, and I can handle that again next year.
And now the after:
I love it. The trim is a shade lighter than the door (remember, I had two "oops" jars to deal with). They weren't actually oops jars, they were just samples that someone requested and didn't pick up. So, I did. For a lot less than I would have paid for any other color. And I marked off the colors from the paint sample card I picked up to choose a color for the piano.
Oh, and while I was painting, Brad was pulling the weeds. The tree is still there, but we will pull it out and replace it this fall. And now, I can officially say we are no longer "that house."
And, if you're wondering, the piano colors have been narrowed down to these two
Claret looks purple on my monitor, but in real life it's a red that is so deep it is almost black – depending on the light (and yes, even though it's red, the mother-in-law approves). And pencil is exactly that… think back to every bubble test you ever took in school – it's the outside color of those standard #2 pencils.
Any guesses on which one the hubby prefers?

HS BOYS BASKETBALL: MHS, Lee set for big weekend games
Published 4:54 pm, Thursday, January 23, 2014
The Amarillo Tascosa boys basketball team has taken District 2-5A by storm, and this weekend, it's the Tall City's turn to experience what Tascosa has to offer.
While Midland High (8-12, 4-6 in 2-5A) and Lee (10-8, 5-6) have each played undefeated Tascosa (19-0, 10-0) already this season, both Midland ISD teams went up to Amarillo for those games — both wins for Tascosa — making this Tascosa's first trip to the Tall City this weekend.
Tascosa takes on Midland High at 7:30 p.m. today at Chaparral Center then visits Lee at 4:30 p.m. Saturday at Lee High School's gymnasium. Tascosa needs just one win during their stay in Midland to clinch a playoff spot.
Not that Tascosa is focused on simply making the postseason, either.
"It's awesome that our kids have been able to play well and put themselves in this position," Tascosa coach Steve Jackson said. "We really haven't spoken about the playoffs yet. We're just trying to get through a rugged district season. The guys are aware it's very close (to clinching a playoff spot), but we've been successful by taking one game at a time and not looking too far ahead."
Meanwhile, Midland High and Lee are fighting for their postseason hopes and will be trying to hand Tascosa its first loss of the year in the process.
"This is the reason to play the game — for these opportunities to knock someone off the pedestal," MHS coach Charles Tatum said. "Without high levels of competition, the season would be pointless. We love the fact we can be the team to beat them first and we're prepared to do it. We're not going into this game prepared to lose."
The Bulldogs sit sixth in the district standings, while Lee is in fifth — a half-game ahead of MHS. San Angelo Central is holding the fourth spot in 2-5A, which is also the last playoff spot available in the district.
Lee plays at Central at 7:30 p.m. today in a matchup that is important in regards to the Rebels' playoff hopes.
"It's going to be a big weekend," Lee coach Chris Packer said. "We're fighting for our lives. These are our biggest games. We've got to go out and play with passion and pride."
Both Tatum and Packer have been impressed with Tascosa thus far, particularly with the play of senior guard Darius Polley. However, Polley has been out with a hip injury for three games, and while he should be available for both games this weekend, Jackson said his minutes will be limited.
"Polley is exceptional," Packer said. "He's on another level. He's the catalyst, but they have other good players. But Polley, he definitely makes them a different animal to handle."
Added Tatum: "They're as complete a team you're going to see in high school boys basketball — a heck of a team. They're one of those teams you have to have an exceptional game to beat. And Polley, if he's not on the radar of some Division I schools by now, they're missing out on him. He should be."
Midland High and Lee will each have at least one intangible in its corner this weekend, considering Tascosa will be making the lengthy trip south to play on back-to-back days.
"We kind of prepare for both opponents during the week, then we focus on what we have to do to be successful in each game," Jackson said. "Playing two games in two days is tougher to deal with than the travel. Not having that time to prepare for the next opponent in between games is kind of tough, but we're approaching it like a tournament."
But there's more on the line for all three teams than the bragging rights of a tournament title. Playoff fortunes could be decided by this weekend's outcomes.

Honor Roll
Justin LeClear
F, Midland High
LeClear led the Bulldogs in scoring in both of their games in the past week, scoring 19 against Odessa Permian and 10 against Lubbock Coronado.
Dedrick Thompson
PG, Lee
Thompson has stepped up his scoring a bit recently and led the Rebels with 12 points in their only game in the past week -- a loss against Lubbock Coronado last Friday.
Grant Little
G, Midland Christian
The Mustangs' standout sophomore has averaged 25 points per game in the past week. He had 31 in a loss to Lubbock Trinity on Tuesday.
Grant Franklin
PG, Greenwood
Franklin continued to score at a high rate last week, posting 30 points against Monahans on Tuesday and 28 against Big Spring last Friday. Unfortunately, Greenwood lost both games.
Beau Lucas
G, Grady
Lucas led the Wildcats to a pair of district wins, posting 16 points against Borden County last Friday and 22 against Klondike on Tuesday.
Games to Watch
Lee at San Angelo Central
This is a big game in regards to playoff positioning. Central currently holds a slim lead for fourth place in the 2-5A standings, but Lee could overtake the Bobcats with a win.
Amarillo Tascosa at Midland High
The Bulldogs are getting close to being in a must-win situation, and they really need to find a win against the undefeated Rebels.
Trinity at Amarillo San Jacinto
Having already lost two games in a four-team district, the Chargers need a win tonight to keep their playoff hopes in decent shape.
Amarillo Tascosa at Lee
Lee could be in position to really grab hold of its playoff destiny if it can get a win against Central and then hand Tascosa what could be its first loss of the season.

WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross has updated his blog, which you can read in its entirety at JRsBarBQ.com. Here are some highlights of what Ross talked about:
The Rock vs. John Cena at WM28: "No…I do not think that @TheRock vs. @JohnCena should happen before Wrestlemania 28. Let's put that matter to bed. It isn't going to happen before WM28 in Miami. As comedian Ron White would say, 'Let it go.' Love how many crystal ball possessing, wrestling creative valedictorians already know that the long range plan for Rock-Cena isn't a good idea. For you that have this all figured out, can you also provide me some lead pipe cinch, stock tips or the National Champion of College Football winner for the upcoming season?"
Wrestling Territories – A Thing Of The Past: "No…wrestling territories are dead and will likely stay that way. The key to a territories success is getting local, strong TV clearances with a slick produced TV show that airs weekly. That isn't going to happen. It's not affordable nor does the majority of fans want to see largely unknown wrestlers. Most investors, who haven't lost their sanity, would never invest in obtaining TV clearances and upgrading TV production values notwithstanding funding a wrestler payroll. Weekly territories are a thing of the past and will never be seen again to the level that they once were or even close."
"On the flip side, having viable, successful territories did more to develop main event level talents than any thing ever and nothing that can be created in today's marketplace will ever supplant that concept. New talents can and will be developed but it will have to be in a much different way than back in the territory days where a different audience could be utilized to watch a gambit of wrestlers evolve and learn their craft. Being able to relocate to a variety of territories with differing creative philosophies and audiences/fans helped many wrestlers become stars."
Paul Heyman's Future in Wrestling: "I guess one should never say never, but I never see @HeymanHustle returning to the pro wrestling world on a full time or regular basis. Never. I get asked this question weekly it seems."
