I have a hard time keeping my quilts square. I just made a quilt that had a center panel made from one yard of fabric. Of course, I had to fold it to trim the edges and square it up. I thought I had it, but after sewing two borders on, I see that it is not square and have determined that it is my center panel that was off.
How can I be sure when I fold material and cut that it is going to come out square? Especially if I am cutting several layers.
Sweisbrook, I'm not sure I can answer your question but this video might help. be sure to watch both parts.
Great video Roxana.
Thanks Roxana!
Roxana that little video on squaring up was very helpful. I watched the 2nd one also on larger quilts. I was doing the no no trimming up after the entire quilt was finished and boy what a job and mess that is. Thanks.
from Maryland
I hear you saying that when you cut your panel fabric, you cut across the width of fabric to square it up, but now find that it wasn't straight. Now, after adding borders to the panel, you realize that the center wasn't really square.
The previous suggestion may resolve the issue, but I wonder if the squaring up of your fabric before cutting is the area to begin with the next time. There could be several factors.
Fabric is not always placed onto a bolt so that when cutting along the folded edge you get a square cut. Be sure that the selvedge edges line up with one another, which may mean the folded edge is uneven. This could result in a cut panel not being square. Check that the measurements from the selvedge to the fold are the same across the length of the fabric.
If you prefer to pre-wash fabric, poorer quality fabric may shrink so that the fabric edges are crooked. However, pre-washing will remove the center fold and make it easier to line up the edges. Hold the doubled fabric with the fold up and reposition your hands from end to end until the selvedges line up across the lower edge. Carefully lay the fabric on the cutting table and smooth it out. You will find that some fabrics have a large difference in the cut edge and where they actually line up square. I still check the alignment by placing a ruler from selvedge edge to folded edge to be sure that it measures equally across the length of the fabric. (This process works best with about one to two yard lengths of fabric or about your arm span.) I learned this process in a class taught by Ami Simms.
Until you master a straight cut, I would work with only one layer of fabric. When you do several layers, do only enough that you are able to cut through easily - I haven't done more than four at a time. This could be two fabrics folded or four fat quarters.
Hope this helps someone. Wish I had a way of demonstrating this, since word pictures are often difficult to visualize.

Mr. McKINLEY. Mr. Speaker, earlier this week, President Obama continued his relentless war on coal. He indicated he would circumvent Congress and use unelected bureaucrats to fulfill his anticoal agenda. He implied he had a moral obligation to do so because Congress is not acting. But Congress has, indeed, acted and simply doesn't agree with the President's ambitions. Congress realized that his agenda will destroy jobs and increase the cost of electricity. Electric bills will go up for everyone who uses power. Everyone will pay more.
The President is basing his call for action on flawed theories about what may happen in the future, but his actions will have an immediate negative impact today.
During his remarks, the President insulted his critics with sophomoric name calling and dismissed the opinions of over 32,000 scientists and physicists who contend that the issue of global warming has not been settled. In the coming months, we will highlight the devastating impact these anticoal policies will have on America's future, its families, and the economy in general. We will point out the flaws in his climate projections.
The President may believe that a war on coal is exactly what's needed, but the thousands who will lose their jobs and the millions who will pay more for electricity beg to differ.

The Rolling Stones "Aftermath (UK)"
The Rolling Stones may still elicit the soubriquet "the greatest rock'n'roll band in the world", but in my opinion they've produced in a 42-year recording history (to A Bigger Bang, 2005) just two albums really worthy of the full five stars. Both came in the 1960s when they were still comparatively young and hungry, and both interestingly represent periods of transition. Aftermath was a product of their move from faux American R'n'B garage band towards a British pop-psych sensibility motivated by the success of mid-period Beatles and the demand by their manager, Andrew Loog Oldham, that they develop as songwriters; and Beggars' Banquet the corresponding move back to their roots, post-psychedelia.
Aftermath was the Stones' first album to comprise only their own compositions, and can be compared to Rubber Soul in its mix of adventurousness and commercial appeal. Although Jagger's and Richards' songs are in general not as strong harmonically as Lennon's and McCartney's – the Stones lacking the Fabs' insight into such diverse musical fields as jazz, Tamla, country and showtunes, not to mention a studio Svengali of the calibre of George Martin – the best of them are right up there, and the eclectic instrumentation brought to bear by Brian Jones, Jack Nitzsche and the invisible "sixth Stone" Ian Stewart is every bit as effective as Martin's baroque embellishments. "Under My Thumb", "Take It Or Leave It" and "Out Of Time" were all considered commercial enough to be covered immediately as singles by high-profile acts. The eleven-minute bluesy jam "Going Home" (not the Ten Years After song) was unprecedented on a British pop album, yet works brilliantly in the context of the wider work. The one dubious quality is the mysogynous nature of many of the lyrics; "Stupid Girl", "Thumb", "Time", "Dontcha Bother Me" and "Take It" unambiguously reveal Jagger's prevailing frame of mind.
Despite the classic British Invasion sound of the album, it was recorded in RCA's Hollywood studios and engineered by Dave Hassinger, who would fall out big-time with the Grateful Dead a year or two later but who got along famously with the Stones if his sleeve notes are to be believed. Production was, as usual, credited to Oldham, but Nitzsche was ever-present at the sessions and the hallmarks of his touch are all over the record. North American readers should note that Aftermath UK is a greatly superior artefact to the US release of the same name, benefitting from omission of the superfluous previous hit single and from the band's preferred sequencing, not to mention offering fourteen tracks against the US version's eleven.

This is something I have never tried. Will definitely do so………sounds easy and good. Thanks!
How to Prepare Sugar Snap or Snow Peas
When I first made snow peas for my step-daughters, they called them "crunchy peas." Why, you ask? Perhaps when you buy snow or sugar snap peas at the grocery store, they are dull and limp?. Perhaps you don't buy them because of that reason? Well, if I've said it once, I've said it a 1,000 times, it's all in the preparation!! Sugar peas and snow peas are delicious and kids love them.
Level of Difficulty: Easy
Time Required: Prep Time – 10min; Cook Time – 5 min
However many snow or sugar snap peas you want. I usually buy a handful per person.
Sauce of your choice. Some of my family's favorites:
- Terriyaki Sauce
- Soy Sauce with 1 T butter
- Butter
- A tiny bit of sesame oil with soy sauce
- Equal parts rice wine vinegar and soy sauce with a touch of sesame oil
- Asian style chili sauce
First and foremost in the list of important steps: wash and soak in ice cold water for a minimum of 30 minutes, especially with snow peas. This will rehydrate them and give them that crunchy texture. I like to soak them for a few hours. Prior to cooking, you can pinch off the ends and pull any strings from the peas you can. This is somewhat optional. Some serve with them on and some do not. I generally take them off until I just don't have that extre 5-10 minutes and then I don't. Simple as that.
When everything else you have prepared for the meal is done, place these in a saute pan with a little bit of water (depends on how many peas, but probably about 1-2 cups for 4-8 servings). Turn it on high. As the water heats, stir the peas. They will transform to a bright green. Cook no more than 5 minutes. Drain any remaining water and add the sauce of your choice. Toss and serve.
We eat one of these at least once a week as you can buy them fresh at the grocery store all year round.
Important Tips:
Soak them unless you like limp vegetables!!!
Try different types of salty, savory, sweet, spicy sauces of your choice. I love asian style flavors with these peas.
Meal Ideas:
Great with just about any meal as a nice, fresh side.

Disney Legend Harrison 'Buzz' Price Dead at Age 89; Helped Identify Theme Park Locations
Harrison "Buzz" Price, the research economist who recommended Anaheim to Walt Disney as the location for Disneyland, then later recommended Orlando to Roy O. Disney as the location for Disney World, passed away Sunday, August 15, at the age of 89.
"Despite his failing health, he continued to demonstrate his trademark humor, cutting edge wit and enduring love for family and friends," his son David Price said on behalf of his mother, Anne Shaw Price, and the Price family. "His legacy of laughter, wit, love, passion and commitment leaves its mark on each of us – family, friends and colleagues in the leisure and recreation industry he loved."
Funeral arrangements will be conducted privately by the family.
"Buzz" Price was recognized as the pioneer in the field of theme parks, resort and leisure-recreation project feasibility almost from the day in 1953 that Walt and Roy O. Disney chose him "to determine the economic feasibility of the best location for a new project – Disneyland." Price, an engineering graduate of California Institute of Technology, had joined Stanford Research Institute after receiving his Masters in Business Administration from Stanford University.
"I asked Walt if he had a bias about the location for his Magic Kingdom," Price recalled years later. "'Absolutely not!' he said. 'You tell me where the best location is.'" Price analyzed the potential sites in the Southern California area, ultimately focusing on Orange County after considering population trends, accessibility and climate factors.
They selected 160 acres of orange groves in Anaheim, just off the Santa Ana Freeway at Harbor Boulevard.
"We hit it right on the nose," Price later recalled, "dead center. That was the perfect place for it."
Voice of Cinderella and Disney Legend, Ilene Woods, Dead at Age 81
Disney D23 has reported that Ilene Woods, best known to Disney fans as the original voice of Cinderella, has passed away at the age of 81. No additional details have been provided at this time.
Woods was offered the opportunity to audition for Cinderella after she had recorded demos of songs from the film for songwriters Mack David and Jerry Livingston who had become friends with her through a music radio show she once hosted. After hearing the recordings, Walt Disney extended an invitation for Woods to audition for the film — she won the role, but never met Walt until after the film had been completed.
New Limited Edition Book Pays Tribute to First Female Imagineer, Harriet Burns
After Harriet Burns — the first female Walt Disney Imagineer — passed away in July 2008, daughter Pam Burns-Clair received such an outpouring of love complete with colorful stories of her mother from family and friends, both personal and professional, that she decided to create a tribute book. Together with co-author Don Peri, they solicited and received many more stories about Harriet and they all are gathered in Walt Disney's First Lady of Imagineering, Harriet Burns along with many photos of Harriet not yet seen by the public.
Through this limited edition hard cover, coffee-table style book, you will discover the range and depth of Harriet's impact on those lives she touched whether as a mother, grandmother, relative, mentor, co-worker or friend. The stories will bring a smile or a tear (or more likely both) and will contribute to an understanding and appreciation of this tiny woman with a heart as big as her native Texas.

Troy police look for community ties
Chief launches mayor's directive to emphasize community policing
Published 10:47 pm, Monday, August 9, 2010
TROY -- Getting a cup of coffee is a new tool for Troy police officers to reach out to the community.
"I'm probably the only chief saying get out of the car and have coffee. I want officers out in the community," said Chief John Tedesco.
Since Tedesco was promoted in April to the department's top spot, he's launched Mayor Harry Tutunjian's directive to emphasize training in community policing, first for rookie cops and next for experienced officers both in the uniformed and detective ranks. The department's latest three hires -- Officers Louis Perfetti, Bryan Rasmussen and Adrienne Sansone -- are in the middle of a six-week training rotation with the department's community policing unit.
For Perfetti, coming from the Schenectady Police Department, the chief's words about sipping coffee are a notable difference. "You don't have to hide to have a cup of coffee. They want us to reach out," Perfetti said.
That cup of coffee is symbolic of getting officers invested in the community, taking ownership of cases and developing ties and contacts, said Tedesco, who was the first captain to lead the community policing unit when it was organized in 1998.
"We want to impress upon them that community policing is more than public relations. There's more you can do on certain issues on your beat," Tedesco said.
Instead of just relying on enforcing the state's penal code, Tedesco wants officers to listen to neighbors' concerns and employ civil enforcement such as trespassing statutes, building codes and working with other city agencies to clear up problems before they become major concerns in the city's neighborhoods. When the officers move into patrol duty, they will be expected to use their community policing experience to develop ties and resolve problems, Tedesco said.
Heather Hamlin, chairwoman of the South Central Troy Neighborhood Watch, said more officers working with the community can only benefit residents.
"It's always great when leaders of the police department want to be more involved with their community," Hamlin said, adding that the neighborhood watch has seen the benefits from working with different community police officers. "Relations between residents and police is important. The more you can commit on both sides the better."
Mayor Harry Tutunjian said, "Chief Tedesco has my full support in expanding community policing from one unit to an entire department embracing this philosophy."
Perfetti, Rasmussen and Sansone are learning about the community connection from officers currently assigned to community policing. Officer Chuck McDonald said the three are learning about the various aspects of working closely with the neighborhood groups and residents.
"They learn what we do and to be out there in the public, McDonald said.
It's about establishing relationships, the officers agreed.
"The difference is being in the neighborhoods. We can get a lot of information. They see what we can't see," Rasmussen said.
"Mostly it's working one on one on the street. It's building relationships," Sansone said.
The three officers are in the community policing's experimental phase, Tedesco said. From their experiences and those of three recent academy graduates who will follow them through the community policing rotation, the department will write a training manual about using community policing.
Capt. John Cooney, who oversees training in the department, said the goal is to employ community policing in all jobs so officers are better prepared to deal with problem areas.

Example Of Our Services
Shop Fronts
Most shop front windows use laminate glass, which conforms to BS 6206 Class B (for 6.4mm thickness and up; 4.4mm is rarely used, and conforms to BS 6206 Class C). Laminate glass is essentially two pieces of float glass bonded together by a PVU interlayer. The primary purpose of this glass is to maintain security and integrity upon impact, by distributing the force of the impact across the glass surface, while the PVU interlayer holds the glass panes together, creating a distinctive "spider-web" appearance.
Laminate glass can usually be replaced on the same day, as our engineers usually carry this glass on their vans. However, large and/or thicker than normal panes will usually be a next day service, dependant on glass dimensions.
We will be able to give an estimated ETA for the glass over the phone for you. We can install glass for practically any installation, from windows to office partitions.

Keith Olbermann, Sp.D. (Doctor of Spinification)
I'm tempted to be annoyed (given my physical inability to join the Cult Of Obama), but I simply cannot help but be impressed with the sheer brilliance of Keith Olbermann's spin-tastic take on the never-ending Primary War of '08. Here's the (kind of long) piece in case you haven't seen it:
My, Keith, but you have a flair for the dramatic. William Shatner, take note.
But aside from the compelling "gotcha!" nature of the clip, what's truly inspiring here is the intellectual sleight-of-hand taking place. Keith does two things: 1) he makes it sound like he's revealing something Hillary is trying to hide by (gasp!) repeating exactly what she has said and 2) he accuses Hillary of "spinning" facts she has not fabricated or, really, even changed, while simultaneously injecting his own "suggested" version of the facts (one that actually makes up facts).
Hillary says, like, actually with her own mouth, that she is counting Michigan and Florida in the calculation underlying her assertion that she is winning the popular vote. The unfortunate state of affairs for the Obama campaign is that, technically, she's one hundred percent accurate. More people have voted for Hillary than have voted for Obama. That's a fact. Whether or not it means anything, it's a fact, in the same way it was a fact that more people voted for Al Gore than for George Bush in 2000.
Now, granted, Hillary won't get all those votes -- and she agreed not to take all of them, and has to live with the consequences of her agreement (I don't see anything in the clip, by the way, suggesting that she is in fact trying to get out of it). But for Keith Olbermann to play this as though she's being dishonest is unfair, to say the least. And, to the extent the Obama campaign is encouraging this sort of unfairness (as they almost certainly are, given the campaign's history of brilliant strategic covert attack operations), it's outright hypocritical. How can Obama, on the one hand, argue that the leaders of the Democratic party "should" go with what "the people" have said, through their votes, they want*, and on the other hand, fault Hillary for pointing out that "the people" want her? In other words, how can Obama say, on the one hand, "we should alter the rules of the nomination game so that all of the superdelegates vote for me," while saying on the other, "we should not alter the rules of the nomination game if it would give Hillary more votes"?
This is sophistry at its finest. The rules of the game are this: the superdelegates vote for whomever the hell they want to. If all of them go with Hillary and she overcomes Obama's pledged delegate lead, guess what? It's in the rules. Live with it. And, frankly, the pledged delegate argument has always struck me as a pretty bad one, anyway. Obama wouldn't actually be pointing to the "popular vote," but rather to the popular vote that "counts" according to party rules. Which is perfectly fine. Except that if you're going to invoke "the will of the people," rules or no rules, it's a bit uncomfortable to simultaneously take the position that all votes are equal, but some votes are more equal than others.
Back to Keith: my favorite part of this clip is where he blasts Hillary for "spinning" the facts by laying out explicitly how she reached her conclusion, and then proceeds to argue in the alternative that Hillary is factually incorrect because, in essence, if things were fair, Obama "would" get votes he didn't get in Michigan. Let me get this straight: Hillary is bad because she has stated the truthful fact that more people have voted for her. Keith Olbermann is good for making a related argument based on a nonexistent fact.
See, this is why I got out of politics.
* To be fair, it appears Obama may have backed off and begun softening his insistence that the superdelegates follow the pledged delegates.

A quirky quintet with a penchant for atypical time signatures and jerky pop tunes, Dutch Uncles are carving a name for themselves amongst the current wash of Manchester bands. Following the release of their second album, 2011's Cadenza, the band started to get more attention, as they toured extensively, mainly in the UK but including shows in Ireland. And now they're back again, this time for the inaugural Camden Crawl Dublin. We caught up with them to find out what's in store.
First of all, what's with the name?
Well it's a good to have a name so that people can associate your music to it and recognise you by one group name as opposed to listing off our five full names every time you wanted to drop us in conversation, or a blog.
Now we've got that out of the way, you played a show at the original Camden Crawl in London last year, how did that go?
From what I recall it was a lovely surprise, something of a hallmark moment from last year.
What are you looking forward most about playing at the Dublin version?
Just being in Dublin, and hopefully playing a good gig there. We were there a while back but forgot to tell anyone to come.
We apologise in advance for this question, but we have to ask – how would you describe Dutch Uncles to a punter who hasn't heard you before? How are you going to knock their socks off in Dublin?
We'd like to be as good as Sparks. We'll try and knock their socks off by trying to live up to that.
And while you're at it, do you have any exciting live tricks up your sleeve – you've got a touch of prog-rock sensibility in your musical arrangements so grandiose prog showmanship, we hope – or what can we expect at a Dutch Uncles live show?
No capes, beards (albeit sometimes) or spaceship sized light shows. Just our music, played live, but faster.
You're often referred to as highbrow, intelligent, or cerebral pop, which sounds a bit daunting. What makes your music that bit smarter?
I'm not sure its smarter, think that word is a bit loaded… we'll settle for 'ridiculous'.
How do you manage to juggle your King Crimson-esque shifting time signatures and proggy complex structures with the light-heartedness of pop?
That would be telling you something that we can't really fathom ourselves.
Apparently, you've got a third album on the cards – as yet unnamed nor with a release date. Care to share any more details with us? Will us lucky Dubliners get a taster?
Certainly will, but I imagine it will all be new stuff to you Dubliners anyway.
Dutch Uncles play the Camden Crawl Dublin on 11th and 12th May, venues to be announced on the day. Tickets are on sale now priced €40 for the weekend, €25 per day.

People care too much.
How their hair looks
or their clothes.
They don't care about what matters
The soul
The soul is what truly matters
that thing that is deep inside.
The soul is always fashionable
no matter what the season is.
The soul is something that changes color a million times
from when you are born to when you die.
My soul is yellow today
because I'm happy inside.
On Thursday my soul was green
for I envied another girl.
The soul is by far the best accessory you can have.
And that's what they should write in the magazines.
Poem title: The Greatest Accessory Of Them All
© Junita Thiessen
Author's note: I wrote this poem at the age of Twelve… or was it Eleven? Anyways, those were 'deep' and emotional years for me, and I hope you like it… Peace.

* FTSEurofirst 300 flat
* Scandinavia provides most top movers after holiday
* Volvo surges in delayed reaction to U.S. data
* Spanish stocks outperform; hopes of Panama deal for Sacyr
By Alistair Smout
LONDON, Jan 7 (Reuters) - European stocks held steady near five and a half year highs on Tuesday, with Scandinavia providing many of the top gainers after much of the region was shut on Monday for a market holiday.
Stockholm-listed truckmaker Volvo was up 4 percent, with the exchange open for the first time since data showed that orders for heavy trucks in North America rose 50 percent in December compared to November.
"Yesterday you had much of Scandinavia closed, so today is the first day when everything is open and back to normal," Nick Xanders, who heads up equity research at BTIG said.
But moves could be muted ahead of the beginning of the U.S. earnings season and U.S. jobs data later in the week, he added.
The top riser in Europe was Danish shipping and oil group A.P. Moller-Maersk, which gained 4.1 percent after selling 49 percent of Dansk Supermarked, Denmark's largest retailer.
The pan-European FTSEurofirst 300 was flat at 1,309.03 at 0831 GMT, 0.6 percent off of its highest point since mid-2008, touched briefly on the first trading day of the year.
German chemicals group BASF benefited from an upgrade by UBS, which hiked its target price on the stock by 20 percent and its rating to "buy" from "neutral". It was up 2.8 percent, contributing the most points to the FTSEurofirst 300 .
"We argue ...that BASF should resume a trend of rerating vis-à-vis other large cap chemical household names," analysts at UBS said in a note.
Broker comment also accounted for many of the day's top fallers, with fellow chemical firm Solvay down 2.7 percent and Hugo Boss down 2.3 percent after downgrades from JP Morgan and Societe Generale respectively.
Spanish blue chips gained 0.2 percent, slightly outperforming for the second day running, receiving a boost from Sacyr, which gained 4.5 percent after the Panama Canal authority proposed an end to a dispute with a Spanish-led consortium led by the construction firm.

Azerbaijani Feminists Take on Official Sexism

Feminist activists in Azerbaijan have sent a blow-up doll to a government official who said that the proper place for women was either "in the grave or in the kitchen".
Comments made by transport ministry spokesman Namik Hasanov to the website www.publika.az provoked fury among women's rights defenders across the country.
"A woman is good only in the grave or in the kitchen," he told. "A woman's place is only in the kitchen. Even in the 22nd century, I'd like to see women in the kitchen."
Hasanov's comment was particularly ill-timed as it came just before International Women's Day on March 8.
To formulate a response, a Facebook group was set up to discuss possible options. Members collected 200 manats, about 260 US dollars, to buy an inflatable sex toy abroad, since such things are not available in local shops.
The group waited until just before Armed Forces Day on June 26 - which they described as "Man's Day"- to send the official their gift.
"In making his comment, Hasanov gave us women a present for the women's holiday, so we tried to reply in kind," said Ulviya Mamedova, one of the activists behind the plan. "We aren't trying to offend anyone. We just want Namik Hasanov to respect women's rights."
While the sex toy was meant as a light-hearted stunt, campaigner say sexist stereotypes remain a serious problem in Azerbaijan.
At a June 20 press conference, the campaigners publicised an open letter addressed to Hasanov.
"We're sending you this technological innovation just in case you aren't already aware of it. We hope our present will look good in your kitchen, or in a grave somewhere," the letter said.
According to Mamedova, the letter "reminded Namik Hasanov of the international conventions to which Azerbaijan has signed up, and the obligations our country has assumed. We also remind him of the laws of the land, of which he may be unaware."
Interviewed later by RFE/RL, Hasanov said he never intended to cause offense, but then went on to dig himself deeper.
"My comments about women were taken out of context. In actual fact, I just think women look best in the kitchen," he said. "I don't want a woman to destroy her family for the sake of her work or career. I'm not saying women shouldn't work - it's just that I think that if women spend a lot of time working, it will destroy their families."
Matanat Azizova, head of the Women's Crisis Centre, said Hasanov's comments were particularly worrying as they set the tone for other officials.
"When the journalists interviewed Namik, they were speaking to him as a representative of the state," she said, describing his comments as "as a kind of instruction to all state employees on how they should treat women".
Azizova said that on previously occasions, she had complained that women's rights were deteriorating, only for officials to accuse her of making a fuss in order to win grants from foreign donors.
"So we shut up," she said. "But now Namik has shown what the true situation is, and if any government agency ever tries to insist that everything's fine again, we'll know they are lying."
The casual denigration of women translates into systemic discrimination. In the Global Gender Gap survey for 2012, produced by the World Economic Forum as a way of ranking countries on a range of economic, political, educational and health measures of sexual equality, Azerbaijan came in 99th out of 135 countries - below every other former Soviet state included on the listing.
Lawyer Asiman Nasirli, who was part of the campaign, argues that the persistence of chauvinist attitudes at the higher levels of government is closely connected with the lack of women in senior positions.
"If you compare us with European countries, there are basically no women among senior officials, and there isn't a single female minister," she said.

Bell Laboratories and AT&T established an area code system in 1940. This came into effect in 1947 and was popularly known as NANP or North American Numbering Plan.
Formerly, the entire southeastern half of Ohio was allocated the area code 614. However, this area code is now assigned to the metropolitan hub of this city. Area code 614 is one of the initial area codes that were introduced in 1947. Most of the areas grouped under this area code were assigned the area code 740 in 1998. It was announced that by 2001 the area code 614 would run a shortage of phone numbers. Hence the need for establishing area code 380 as an overlay to area code 614 was brought to the forefront. During this hour, the ten digit dialing plan was implemented but on an optional basis. However, it was determined that after one year; this ten digit dialing plan would become compulsory. But when the growth of mobile phones and fax machines dropped considerably and fresh relief efforts like number pooling were instituted it was decided that there was no need for introducing new area codes in the coming days. As a result the introduction of the area code 380 was postponed or suspended.
Area Code 614 serves the following States
Area Code 614 serves the following Counties
Athens, Delaware, Marion, Butler, Franklin, Fairfield, Lawrence, Harrison, Licking, Madison, Lorain, Pickaway, Union

On her road trip from Boulder, CO to Miami, FL, my friend Aimee and her friend Sunny were kind enough to swing by little College Station to visit me today. 🙂 It's embarrassing being the hostess and all as I told them the wrong thing to look for when we were trying to find Square One Bistro in Bryan. I told them it's a red brick building, but it was white. But, I have my excuses. The place was standing next to a red brick building, and has no visible sign. I mean it has a sign on the door, about the size of a DVD case, and visible from like 4 feet away from the door. There has been not one occasion that my companies and I didn't have to drive around the block a few times to find it, granted today was the 3rd or 4th time I've eaten there. Square One plays hide-n-seek with me.
The food is definitely worth it, though. Aimee and Sunny enjoyed it (I hope they weren't just being nice), and finished everything. The three of us got Chipotle Beef Pasta, Cranberry Turkey sandwich, Penne Florentine, and 3 desserts. We were too busy chatting to take pictures, but here's my leftover:
Certainly my polysterene display doesn't look as attractive as the restaurant's warm and inviting creation, but tastes just as good. "Prosciutto ham sauteed with fresh mushrooms and spinach. Tossed in penne pasta and topped with parmesan cheese." More on the menu. This is a nice escape from the usual pool of cheese or tomato sauce (or both) of Italian dishes. Good garlic bread to munch on while waiting, and generous portions of dessert, especially the chocolate bundt cake with vanilla ice cream. I'm bloated.
Everything on the lunch menu was less than $8. Entrees are only served after 5 pm.
The whole event was wonderful, except for yet another embarrassing moment of mine, when I choked on a piece of cheese and coughed, and coughed, for 5 minutes. One of the hostesses came over to ask if I was ok, and I managed to stop coughing to answer her. 🙂

Unfortunately, G. Pascal Zachary also sees Rachel Carson as some sort of model. Perhaps a model of what not to be like?
From the media release:
"When I talk about her as a model for the crisis in science journalism, what I mean is currently there is less and less quality science journalism," he added. "As a community, we have to figure out how to draw the line and get a minimal amount of quality science journalism."

Stanley Cup experience makes Griffins youth camp unique
Late July is an uncertain time on the hockey calendar. The bulk of the excitement of free agency has passed, but just over a month remains until training camp kicks off another season. While some hockey players opt to soak up some sun on the beach or take a vacation during this time of year, many choose to give back to the game through youth hockey camps.
Walk through a professional hockey team's locker room and you'd be hard-pressed to find any players who don't fondly remember a summer hockey camp, where they developed the fundamental skills they still use today. Such is the case in West Michigan, where the Grand Rapids Griffins' annual youth hockey camp will be held from July 30-Aug. 3.
What makes the Griffins' camp unique from the hundreds of other hockey camps around the world is the Stanley Cup-winning experience. The camp's lead instructor, Griffins assistant coach Jim Paek, had his name engraved on hockey's most precious trophy in 1991 and 1992 while with the Pittsburgh Penguins.
Also scheduled to make one-day appearances are Detroit Red Wings center and Muskegon native Justin Abdelkader, who was a part of Detroit's 2008 Cup team, and Washington Capitals right wing and Kentwood native Mike Knuble, who earned two Stanley Cup rings earlier in his career on Detroit's 1997 and 1998 championship clubs.
"Especially with Mike and Justin, they're local guys that all the kids can relate to," said Paek. "It's great that they can come for a day to give back to the community and remember where they started from."
While all of the camp's instructors are happy to sign autographs and spend time with the camp's attendees, their priority is to keep the camp fun while making sure the kids – who range in age from 6-16 with a variety of skills and experiences, are getting the highest quality coaching possible.
"We do the best we can with every age group, from the kids who are just learning to play to the older ones who have played hockey for a few years," said Paek. "We have a wide variety of talent level, and we have a pretty big staff that does their best with these young players."
The camp runs from 8:30 a.m.-3:15 p.m. each day, comprising of a total of 12 hours of ice time and 12 hours of dry-land training and off-ice video sessions. Children are separated into groups by age and participate in a variety of drills to improve their skills, learning basic stride development and advanced skating techniques while practicing stickhandling, shooting and passing.
"Just putting the Griffins' name on the camp naturally draws interest from a lot of youth hockey players," said Bob Kaser, the Griffins' vice president of community relations and broadcasting and one of the camp's organizers. "But when you support the camp with outstanding hockey personalities, it becomes an even bigger draw.
"Jim Paek is not just a name with an excellent hockey background; he is outstanding at directing all that goes on both on and off the ice during the week. He demands hard work so the kids get as much out of the camp as they can, but he keeps it fun," said Kaser.
For a veteran coach like Paek, who just completed his seventh season behind the Griffins' bench, watching the players develop, both during the camp and from summer-to-summer for the returnees, is the most rewarding aspect. He shared the story of Kyle Manning, a 15-year-old player who's used the resources of the camp to make a run at high-level hockey.
"Kyle's been coming to the school for many years, and he travels all the way from England," said Paek. "Over the years, he's emailed me and asked me different questions, and now he's applying to a hockey academy over in Austria. He's waiting to get in; he just had tryouts. It's rewarding to see the young players like that who come from all over the world do those things and really take to the sport."
Contributions from area businesses and sponsors continue to make the camp successful. Last year, six sponsors paid for total of 12 kids from the Griffins Youth Foundation to attend, an experience those players would not have had the opportunity to do on their own. The Griffins Youth Foundation enables 300-plus kids, many of whom are underprivileged or underserved, to participate in the foundation's programs, including first-through-12th grade hockey, girls hockey and sled hockey, at no cost.
"It's always fulfilling to see the smiles on the kids' faces, day in and day out," said Kaser, who serves as the foundation's president. "But the best part for me is when I deliver photos and thank you letters from our Youth Foundation participants to the sponsors. Reading some of those letters helps you understand how much the camp means to them, not to mention the joy our sponsors clearly get from sending them."
The camp will take place in Grand Rapids at Griff's IceHouse at Belknap Park. The cost of $300 per child includes a camp jersey, t-shirt, hat and a daily lunch provided by popular local eateries.

While spring and purified water are OK, do not quench your feline's thirst with mineral water. Excess minerals can, over time, promote health problems, such as feline urinary tract disease.read more
Name: Rocky
Age: about 2
Breed: Domestic Shorthair
Owner: Earl Harris
Hometown: Salt Lake City, UT
Likes: Demands a warm bath every evening at 9
Dislikes: When his bath is late!
Earl Harris says:
Rocky was homeless and would come around daily looking for food. We began to leave food out for him, and eventually were able to take him inside to live. He then began to show signs of advanced FLV, for which he tested positive and was pronounced by two vets as having a 2 week life expectancy. Extreme love and answered prayers are the only thing I can attribute to him still being my best buddy and loyal friend, 17 months later and counting.

By Team Titleist On October 14, 2009
Hello Everybody,
I arrived home yesterday and it feels good to be back in Australia. I think I fell into a complete heap when I boarded the plane at LAX. The next thing I knew we were landing in Oz. I didn't realize how exhausted I was until I had the time to actually sleep.
The week at the Presidents Cup was full-on and I enjoyed being a part of the team....of course all except the part where we didn't win the cup. Every President Cup team I have played on has always been a special part of my career and last week was no different. It was a complete honor to be a captain's pick and to play for not only my country but also my childhood hero. Ernie and I got off to a great start on Thursday. I have to say the juices were flowing on the very first tee and I hadn't experienced that feeling for awhile. It was a lot of hard work on Thursday and it felt good to come out on top. Unfortunately the rest of the matches weren't as fruitful. I hit the ball well but came up short in my next 4 matches. It was a week filled with a lot of emotion. The team had a ton of fun off the course and Greg and Frank were great team leaders. We don't have the opportunity to spend time with one another throughout the year so I always look forward to team competition. A lot of ping pong, video games and pool.....! Hats off to Tim and Ryo for having a very good week. Ryo, youngest competitor ever on any President Cup team, has proved, once again, he's got game!
I am really close to firing on all cylinders and being a part of the President Cup gave me the confidence that I have been lacking for a few months. I will practice the next 2 weeks and then head over to Singapore for the Barclays Singapore Open. I have had good results in the past at Sentosa and looking forward to getting back there. Weather on the Gold Coast is perfect so I'm going to enjoy the time practicing, and also catching up on business and my foundation.
I'll be in touch next week.
Until then, take care.
Adam blasts a drive with his Titleist 909D2 driver on Day 1 of the 2009 Presidents Cup.

Swan Cam
We have Cygnets!
Chuck and Gracie have had a tremendous year for cygnets! We are proud to announce the arrival of FOUR baby swans, born approximately between July 3rd and 4th of 2017. Congratulations Chuck and Gracie!
Photo credit: Jim Leonard
June 18th Update: Live Web Cam Taken down until 2018
Due to the precocial nature of Trumpeter Swan cygnets; Chuck, Gracie, and their four young are now fully exploring Lake Aspen and are spending time away from the nest (and unfortunately for us) away from the camera. The live cam will be up again next year for the 2018 laying season.
For now, we highly recommend fans of Chuck and Gracie come down to the Nature Center to see these incredible animals for yourselves. Bring your binoculars and spotting scopes!
Thank you:
This camera made possible through a generous grant as provided by the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife.
The Sunriver Nature Center would also like to give a HUGE thank you to our friends at the Sunriver Owners Association for all of their support in making this live camera feed happen. Thank you Jason and Jesus!

I'm interested, but not until July...
I'm interested, but not until July...
Wow. I need to check in more...actually work less so can check in.
Just about anywhere in the Mt. Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest is great for hanging. However we do need to be aware of the all of the road closures --->http://www.fs.usda.gov/wps/portal/fs...s%20&%20Events The list is kind of depressing, but there is a sliver lining. Stuff is actually getting fixed finally!!!!
Regarding Monte Cristo. It would be a nice place for a hang, but... Access may be an issue. Mtn Loop is closed at Red Bridge, and there is no ETA on reopening the road. Of course it is a summer hang...there may access via Darrington. Another consideration (I'm not trying to scare people) Monte Cristo is a super fund site. There are plans to temporarily close the area to the public during a clean up. Was supposed to start last year, but is delayed with no ETA.
I'm all for something up route 2. Index area is nice, but further east to Skykomish is better. There's access to Alpine Lakes Wilderness to the south and Glacier Peak Wilderness to the north. Up Beckler River road is the back door route to Eagle Lake, Meadow Creek, Evergreen Mtn Look out, Blanca Lake, Quartz Creek, West Cady Ridge, North Fork Skykomish, and Pass Creek. Best of all there are no permit issues.
I'd be in if the timing is right. My son is getting married in July and the wedding/reception is on my property. I'm afraid my weekends are booked until after that.
In the southern Alpine Lakes area I've been to Pete Lake (easy 5 mile hike), Spectacle Lake (another 3 or 4 miles past Pete Lake with the last 2 miles being switchbacks) and Waptus Lake (moderate 10 mile hike with stream crossing unless they get the bridge rebuilt). Trip report for the Waptus trip that my wife and I did:
I have pictures of the Pete Lake/Spectacle Lake area if there is interest.
I've been in the Goat Rocks wilderness also and can provide pictures if there is any interest in that area.
1st half of Sept is a good time to go with the the daytime temperatures starting to drop but not getting too cold at night and the huckleberries are ripe .
How about Stevens to Snoquamie. Its a nice 70 miler and has the best views in Washington IMO. Or there is Spectacle lake, I can never get enough of that place. Its on the tail end of that PCT section. But what ever, I'm down for it, if it fits into my already getting crazy summer schedule.
I miss my 4.8Lb base weight as a ground dweller...But I sure DON'T MISS the ground.
Hey mugs, you gonna do that as a day hike?
Seriously, how big a crowd you expect to attract if you advertise a 70 miler.
If the section Stevens to Snoqualmie is anything like Dishpan gap to White Pass in the Glacier peak area i would be willing to attempt that 70 mile's...not as a day hike. You got me looking at the Topo now.
Stevens to Snoqualmie might be a fun side adventure for a smaller group who wants to do a longer hike after the summer hang. I'd probably be interested in something like that in August myself.
How many days would that 70 mile hike be?
So far the mot intrigueing idea I've seen here is goat rocks in September...
Stevens to Snoqualmie is supposed to be one of the most scenic sections of the PCT and is on my bucket list but may not be the best choice to attract the wide variety of folks that might be interested in the group hang.
Total agreement with Mugs - Spectacle Lake is awesome. I haven't been up there since the fire that was in the area a couple years ago. Supposedly the lake wasn't affected but a section of the trail goes thru the burn area.
I miss my 4.8Lb base weight as a ground dweller...But I sure DON'T MISS the ground.
Make that 4 to 6 days i'm in. But 2.5 days! I'd have to loose about 60lbs of prosperity around my mid section before that would happen.

ARLINGTON _ The countdown to what is expected to be a record-setting 2014 Final Four at Cowboys Stadium began in earnest Thursday with the unveiling of the event logo and the words of Mike Bobinski, chair of the NCAA Division I men's basketball committee.
"If all goes well, we'll establish a Final Four attendance record," said Bobinski, the Xavier athletic director. "I have no doubt that will happen. I guess it really is true that everything is bigger in Texas, particularly in North Texas."
Bobinski will get no argument from the 14 members of the North Texas Local Organizing Committee, which includes Charlotte Jones Anderson, executive vice-president of the Dallas Cowboys who worked with NCAA officials on crafting the Final Four logo.
The logo incorporates a stylized image of Cowboys Stadium in which the venue's signature support beams form the number "14" to commemorate the year. A basketball replaces the letter "o" in the phrase "Final Four," which sits below the words "2014 North Texas."
Anderson said committee members and the NCAA sought a "very clean and very contemporary" look for the logo, with NCAA officials pushing for use of the stadium outline in the finished product.
"It was their suggestion. And we were flattered by that," Anderson said. "I think it really is a good icon for the region."
Based on stadium capacity, a sold-out venue in 2014 would allow the NCAA to break its existing attendance records for a Final Four semifinals session (72,456) and for an NCAA championship game (72,922), both set in 2009 at Ford Field in Detroit. Cowboys Stadium, with its flexible configuration options, held 108,713 for the 2010 NBA All-Star Game.
Anderson is joined on the three-member executive committee by Rick Baker, president and CEO of the AT&T Cotton Bowl Classic, and Big 12 commissioner Bob Bowlsby. Tarrant County representatives on the 11-member board of directors include Jay Burress, president/CEO of the Arlington Convention and Visitors Bureau, former TCU athletic director Frank Windegger and Gina Puente, CEO and co-founder of Puente Enterprises, Inc.
Other board members include Rolando Blackmon, former Dallas Mavericks standout; Terdema Ussery, Mavericks president/CEO; Noe Hinojosa, president/CEO of Estrada Hinojosa Co.; Philip Jones, CEO of the Dallas Convention and Visitors Bureau; John Stankey, senior vice-president of AT&T; Kathy Saunders, vice-president and general manager of KDFW/Ch. 4; Alan White, chairman/CEO of PlainsCapital Bank and George Bayoud.

Contrary to popular opinion, our national pastime is not football or baseball, beer pong, "Grand Theft Auto" or keeping up with the Kardashians.
It's kick the can.
We're forever kicking the can down the road, the "can" of course being a difficult decision or hard work that needs attention but is also tempting to put off for now. It's a game everyone has played at one time or another, from preschool cleanup to funeral arrangements, but it's our leaders who are the sport's major leaguers.

Killer of ex-girlfriend gets 23 years-to-life term
SCHENECTADY — Career criminal Jamell Modest faces the possibility of life in prison for killing his ex-girlfriend as she sat in the backseat of a car with their 8-month-old son.
Modest, 47, received a 23 years-to-life sentence Monday from state Supreme Court Justice Michael Coccoma for murdering Markia Harris Booth, 30, last Dec. 13 on State Street. The child was not harmed.
Booth, a mother of four, worked at Safe Inc., a shelter to help children.
On Tuesday, Modest's attorney, Michael Mansion, said his client, a convicted drug dealer, insisted on pleading guilty. Mansion said Modest took the sentence rather than try to win at trial and face the same penalty if convicted.
"That was his choice and his choice alone," the attorney said.
Modest fled the scene after killing Booth. Schenectady patrol Officers Robert Young, Brandon Kietlinski and Kevin Rayball soon arrested him.
When Modest was brought into court after his arrest, Booth's father, Marcus Harris, lunged at Modest. A victim's uncle, Donald Dunkel, later drew police to his home and tossed a liquor bottle at a police car so he would be sent to jail with Modest, authorities said.
Mansion said Modest is being held at the Coxsackie Correctional Facility, not the county jail, for his own safety.
"The family and friends of Markia Harris Booth who mourn her loss can at least take comfort in the fact that her murderer was brought to justice due primarily to the willingness of witnesses to come forward, the utility of our camera system that enabled police to find the murder weapon, and the professionalism of prosecutors and police," Schenectady County District Attorney Robert Carney said after the conviction.
Cigarette-trafficking ringleader convicted
ALBANY — A Maryland man accused of heading up a massive cigarette-trafficking ring that reached from Virginia into the Capital Region was convicted of 198 counts of wrongdoing brought against him, state Attorney General Eric Schneiderman announced Tuesday.
Basel Ramadan, 44, faces up to 30 years in prison on charges that include enterprise corruption, money laundering and tax crimes in Brooklyn state Supreme Court.
An investigation uncovered that Ramadan and his brother, Samir, who previously pleaded guilty in the case, obtained cigarettes from a Virginia wholesaler, stored them in Delaware and trucked them to be sold to resellers in Brooklyn, Staten Island, New Jersey and beyond. Alleged co-conspirator Adel Abuzahrieh of Brooklyn, who is awaiting trial, paid the Ramadans off in cash before bringing the cigarettes out of Delaware for sale.
One reseller, Mohannad Seif, sold the untaxed cigarettes to grocery stores in Albany and Schenectady counties. In January, Seif was sentenced to five years' probation for attempted enterprise corruption.

Are These Scrapped Ninja Turtle Designs Better Than What We Got In The Movie?
When the trailer for the new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles film came out, the world almost packed up shop and went home at the sight of their new look. The big meme for some time was the comparison to Shrek and some even adjusted the look so the turtles didn't have any nostrils at all, looking more like the original cartoon. With a movie like this, every character goes through a long phase of designs until producers can finally agree on what will hopefully get kids in the seats, and the turtles were no exception.
Released by conceptual artist Anthony Francisco, here is what the turtles might have looked like.
What do you think?
Unfortunately, Anthony was not hired to continue working on the film as studios usually hire design companies to come up with initial sculptures and sketches until they keep the ones that stick. I wonder if he had added the masks, producers would get more of a fully realized idea. It seems that most people who don't draw can't fully visualize an idea unless it's completely laid out for them.
Definitely an interesting look, although I think it looks more like an X-Files creature than a Ninja Turtle.
I'll be honest, I still haven't even seen the movie. After a few weeks, I've decided it's going into the "I'll wait for Redbox" file. Frankly, I'm just surprised that most of you paid to go see it after months of complaining about Michael Bay and how bad the movie looked. And, since the movie has made over $240M at the box office, Michael Bay will now get to make 10 more sub-par movies. Good job, everyone! You're keeping the man well fed.
Check out the rest of the designs at ComicBookMovie.com.
