Of course, I also did some stitching, just for rehabilitation purposes, you know. I finally finished up the string quilt! Here she is:
Is that not a happy quilt? This is the Scrap Happy Rails pattern from Amanda Jean Nyberg's book No Scrap Left Behind. I made mine smaller than the pattern, mainly because this was all the scraps I had that I wanted to use up. If you recall, I found a bag of coordinated floral scraps that I had saved, and I cut those up for this quilt. My top is about 48 by 60, a decent lap size.
What could I call this beauty but Start of Summer? I have really lost my taste for florals, but they look fresh and summery in this quilt. And I used up every bit of those scraps. I mean *every* bit:
Yep, that little pieced string in the center of the photo is about a half-inch wide. Someday I will learn to keep and use only the larger scraps, but that day is not today, clearly. Seriously, there is nothing left. I was sweating out the last two blocks, but managed to eke them out.
This quilt top was really easy, but it was seriously labor intensive. All the strings! I didn't have long enough pieces for more than a couple of short strip sets to cut into sections, so the vast majority of these strings were stitched one at a time. I worked on two blocks at a time so I could always have something going through the machine, which worked out pretty well. If I were a smart person I would have chopped all the strings to the correct length before I started stitching anything, but I didn't. I just cut them as I added them to the sections. That slowed me down a lot!
This little quilt is destined for great things! I've signed up at a local quilt shop to take the required class so that I can rent time on their longarm, and this top will be one of the practice quilts. After that it will likely be donated, but I expect it to teach me a lot first!
I also got a great surprise in the mail this week-- check out this beautiful little mini that Janine at Quilts from the Little House sent me:
Isn't that adorable? It's already hanging on the wall in my sewing room. Much too pretty to be setting lemonade on! Thanks so much Janine!
One more thing-- as I said above, there are a lot of plants here that I can't identify. Does anyone know what this shrub is?
This is also shown in the second picture above, and it just bloomed this past week. The flowers are lovely, but I don't know what it is or anything about it. And just how do you get rid of pachysandra? It's everywhere! Any help appreciated!
Have a wonderful weekend everyone!

How is Average Hydropathy computed?
It is computed simply by the sum of hydrophobicity of individual amino
acid divide by the length of the protein sequence (exclusive of
non-standard amino acid characters).
Hydrophobicity values of individual amino acids can be found here.
Note: If a character in the protein sequence is not of the 20 standard amino acid, it will not be included in the computation. i.e. the length will also be adjusted such that only standard amino acid characters are considered.

pointercrate.com is a independent website, launched in April 2017, coded and maintained by stadust. It currently hosts the demonlist, but there are plans greatly extend its feature set, and the recent addition of a REST API is only the first step in that direction.
Demon List GD
Demon List Public Server
The demonlist is a community driven ranking of Geometry Dash's hardest levels, attempting to be the most accurate listing of demons and records on them.
Originating on the Geometry Dash Forums, it has gone through several different management teams, until finally ending up being organized by Cobalt. After growing increasingly dissatisfied with the forums , it was decided to split the demonlist off, and move it to its own website, which was pointercrate.
Now, after being hosted on pointercrate for over a year, the demonlist has seen an immense growth in popularity, with nearly 13000 daily page views and integration into many discord servers via the provided Discord bot.
If you think you've found a bug, you should contact me (see below for how), so I can work on fixing it asap!
Though please note that Demonlist complaints are, in fact, not bugs, and should not be reported to me. I have no influence on the list.
It is not the same. Monitors with higher refresh rates happen to trigger a bug in the game's v-sync implementation, that disables the game's 60FPS cap. While it is not known how exactly the cap gets disabled, it is presumed that when GPU based double-buffering is enabled, the cap for some reason simply isn't checked anymore and thus defaults to the monitor's refresh rate.
The FPS bypass (whose source the inclined reader can find here) explicitly sets the game's animation inverval, thus explicitly disabling the FPS cap. If FPS options would be added into the game at some point, this would be the way they'd work too.
Since these are two obviously very different processes, the FPS bypass is banned.Can you add my record?
No. Submit it through the form.The Stats Viewer doesnt display one of my records! What should I do?
That's a known bug. I currently do not have the time to investigate it. There isn't really much you can do about it, I'm afraid.How is the Demonlist score calculated?
The score is calculated using a function of logistic growth. Let \(n\) be the position of the demon a record was made on, \(l\) the current size of the extended list, and \(r\) your progress as a decimal percentage. For \(r = 1\), we have $$score = \frac{l}{\frac{l}{5} + (\frac{-l}{5}+1) * e^{-0.008 * n}}$$ If \(r \ne 1\), the above equation is multiplied by \(\frac{r}{2}\).Alright, fine, and what does that mean?
The top demon awards as many points as the list is long, the last demon awards 5 points. In between, we have a steep decline in points. Any non-100% record can only gain half the points for a given demon, and furthermore gets less points the smaller the progress.Why was my record removed?
Ask the Demonlist Team.Where do I put suggestions for the list?
Contact a member of the Demonlist Team, or message their Twitter.Can you host my list too? Its about ...!

text: Hi ladies, I am 8 weeks post op after a Total laparoscopic hysterectomy and double oopherectomy. I am feeling a lot better, no bleeding not in absolute agony anymore but I have a problem. A couple of weeks ago I think a big stitch fell out from inside when i was doing pelvic floor exercises, and since then I have had spasms in my vagina and really weird sensations down there. I also feel like I have a UTI but don't think I have. I was feeling so much better, and feel like I'm going backwards again. Has anyone else experienced this, and if so any advice would be appreciated. Thank you and hope you are all as well as you can be x x

6. Back to normality.
Back to normality.
Leaving retreat and settling back into the swing of things was very destabilising. I had very little time in England and was on a plane back to Los Angeles almost straight away. Burgs had invited me to join a five-month meditation retreat that he was holding, but I had shied away from the idea. And so it was that two days after saying my first words for a week I found myself sat in a vegetarian café in Los Angeles, trying to explain to my extremely confused girlfriend everything that had happened. One of the very first pieces of advice that you are given upon leaving retreat is to not speak about your experiences on retreat with someone who has never been on one. Meditation and the wisdom that comes with it is something that needs to be experienced, not learned. In this respect it is not like Christianity or any of the Abrahamic religions. It is something that must be seen to be believed. Faith plays its part: you have to believe that, if you sit down cross legged for three hours a day, eventually insight will develop and you will begin to truly see. Without this faith you would not do it. But you do not claim to know these truths until you have seen them to be true for yourself, through your own efforts in meditation. You refine your mind, making it more and more subtle, develop your concentration until it is penetrating, and then set that concentration and mindfulness to the task of removing the smoke screen of your mind. Some of the Buddha's last words were about the importance of scepticism. He told his students to not believe anything that he or anyone else had ever told them. They had to see them for themselves.
But, of course, to the excited young yogi who had just had his life flipped round it was very difficult to contain this newfound faith, even if it was not yet knowledge. So I sat with my girlfriend, telling her that everything that she thought that she knew was nonsense, that she had chi, that there were Devas and Brahmas and that meditation was the only way to liberate herself from the cycle of Samsara. I then told my friends, and even told some strangers. And what a mess I made. I realised why it is that this information should never be preached. Because that is all that it is: information.
Faith is a funny thing because it takes only a very short hop until it becomes doctrine, and a doctrine based upon opinion. We identify so very much with our opinions that we are unable to see them for what they are: ideas, not truth and completely conditioned. When you have a principle and stand by it with everything that you are, if someone comes along and questions that opinion the common reaction is to become angry to some extent. That extent depends upon how much we identify with that opinion: how much of our 'self' is invested in it.
We believe that our opinion is completely correct and wonder how the other person can be so moronic, blind or outright bad to disagree with the truth. It is the same with religious doctrine. We believe so very much in the faith that we have mistaken to be knowledge. When someone disagrees with that faith, we get angry. We believe that we are angry because this person is a heretic and is offending our God and denying the truth. We are the champions of that God or truth and so are doing its work in being angry. But if we look a little bit closer we see that, in fact, we are not angry in the defence of any higher power or knowledge. We are angry because we feel like our integrity is being questioned. Our pride is hurt. "How dare this person not agree with me?" It has nothing to do with the other person disagreeing with a God or a truth, and everything to do with that person disagreeing with us. It is the ultimate arrogance.
This is what was happening with me. I had some knowledge based upon events that I had actively seen: I had felt chi. I had felt the effects of yoga, I had had some extraordinary experiences where my teacher did things that, until then I knew to be impossible. I felt the peace that came with meditation. Everything else was just faith and opinion. And when I tried to relay this opinion to others, telling them that it was truth, it made people very angry, which in turn made me angry.
So the next few months were defined by my frustrations and the frustration that this was causing to other people. I still had extreme anger issues, getting in monumental arguments with my girlfriend and other friends about all manner of issues, and very soon after the retreat finished I completely lost my ability to concentrate in my sits.
I had made the great mistake of believing mediation to be a quick fix, and a skill that I had mastered. I had not seen it to be the lifetime pursuit that it truly is.
But my legs were still better, and I had known the peace that sits behind all things, even if I had temporarily lost sight of it. But this is a peace that you can never forget. My legs momentarily relapsed on occasion, and, when I saw my teacher again upon my return to England for Christmas he was disappointed to see that I had managed to allow my system to shut down again. However it only took two days of meditating with him again to have them reopen, and my legs again went back to normal.
I had also become a considerably better actor. Although there was, and still is, much to let go of, in that one week I had managed to let go of so much of my superficial ego that I had overcome a major obstacle in my acting ability: I was finally able to forget about the audience and to truly be in the moment with the other actor.
It was not until five months later that I finally left Los Angeles. When I say left, what I really should say is fled, for my life.

Five Years of Independent Software Business
Five years ago today I started working for myself writing software. The hard thing about the software business, for me anyway, isn't the software – it's the business. I've probably never learned more and certainly never earned less.
The Strategy
Products are obviously the best thing to do in software. Once you have built a product, you have within reason severed the link between the time you put in and the money you earn. You can make many additional sales with no additional effort: the immensely satisfying situation of earning money while you sleep.
However, you have severed the link between the time you put in and the money you earn. So you can put in a lot more effort for no additional sales. All products start this way; the trick is to know which ones are worth pursuing through the dip and which ones to cull.
In the meantime, of course, I need to fund my windsurfing habit: the wind is free but the flights to sunny, windy countries aren't. So I've kept my head above water by writing software for other people as a consultant / freelancer.
I have launched four products now. The first two failed to take off; the third is doing well; and the jury is out on the fourth.
Number 1 in 2006 was Vortex, a desktop GTD app. It was the right idea, catching early the growing wave of GTD enthusiasm. But it was the wrong technology: Java Swing. I picked Swing so I could sell to both PC and Mac owners, but everything took longer to implement than it should have and the results never looked as good as I wanted. I came to loathe Swing. After eleven months I had sold about 15 copies. Suboptimal.
Number 2 in 2008 was Girls In Football, a site for girls and women who play football (soccer). Again this was the right idea: girls' football is the fastest growing sport in the UK, more girls play football than any other sport, and there weren't any other sites for all these female footballers. However it was the wrong business model: our income depended on other companies' advertising budgets and these dried up fast as the recession bit.
Number 3 in 2008, and again in 2010, was writing up what I'd learned for PeepCode. The first was my Rails 2 Plugins PDF, and the second and third were my Vim screencasts Smash Into Vim 1 and Smash Into Vim 2. 37signals call this selling your by-products and it's worked for me. Most of that of course is thanks to Geoffrey Grosenbach.
Number 4, started in 2008 and still in progress, is Sparkle, a business tool for the Fashion PR industry. I'm one of the last people you'd expect to be transforming Fashion PR, but there it is.
I've confirmed to myself multiple times that business software is more promising than consumer software. The standard for consumer apps is so high, the prices so low, and the competition so fierce that unless you can be number one – in which case you'll clean up – you may as well start tearing up banknotes now. Business software arguably doesn't need to be as polished as long as it does the job, and you can charge more. But the competition is still fierce.
Consulting / Freelancing
This is a huge topic but I'll restrict myself to one aspect: pricing.
You can either sell your time or you can sell the results. I prefer to sell the results, in essence treating each feature or site or whatever as a one-sale product. The client doesn't care what it costs me to produce, they care about the value the result has to them. Obviously you need to ensure the value to the client exceeds your production cost.
Of course it is notoriously hard to calculate your production cost – which is why so many freelancers transfer the risk to the client by selling their time instead – and next to impossible to calculate the value to the client. But still. Philosophically this seems to me the right approach.
The complication is that the client can't know what they want until they've tried a first approximation. So you need to home in on the solution through close collaboration and frequent iteration. This is where pricing gets interesting.
Having said all that, you don't get paid what something is worth or what it costs to produce. You get paid what you can negotiate.
The Domain
Early on I read you should choose a domain and stick to it. The more you know about your domain, the easier it becomes and the more value you can provide. I agree.
It also makes a lot of sense to build stuff for yourself because then you know intuitively what to build. If you build for other people, either a product or as a consultant, you never know as reliably what to build.
However after five years I haven't found a domain that grabs me. The domains I really enjoy, such as windsurfing, don't seem tractable. For example just about every windsurfing centre is managed with spreadsheets, whiteboards, and pieces of paper. On the face of it this is ripe for replacement with a nice webapp…but no centre is going to pay much of a monthly fee for a webapp, no matter how much easier it makes life. (I'm still tempted to have a go so my holidays become business trips, or vice-versa!)
On the other hand, I know there are opportunities all around. You just need to tune in to them.
Another option is teaming up with an expert in a viable domain. I recently started collaborating with a top drawer geneticist; we'll see what happens.
The Next Five Years
I still aim to devote all my work time to creating and building up a product I enjoy and use every day, and that other people do too. I'm not there yet.
Would I work for another company after five years of being my own boss? Not unless GitHub or 37signals comes calling. I love my autonomy too much.
All in all it's been emotional. When it feels like nobody cares, it's bleak. When it feels like people do care, it's very satisfying.

Whether you're recording software or games to share with others on YouTube, or streaming video games to twitch or some other service, thankfully there is no shortage of free screen recording software for you to choose from. So today, I'll tell you the top 5 best screen recorders that you can use for free to capture high-quality video from your computer. I'll also go over the pros and cons of each service.
Top 5 Best Free Screen Recorders for Windows, Mac & Linux (2018)
5. TinyTake
It is a freemium screen recorder that will let you record short videos and capture screenshots. They offer editing tools that allow you to mark up your screenshots and videos with the text box, arrow, picture caption, along with other tools. When you're done recording, your videos can be saved locally to your hard drive. They can also be saved to TinyTake's cloud storage service. TinyTake does not have watermarks but unfortunately some of their features are reserved for their premium plans. The free basic plan also has a video recording limit of 5 minutes and only allows up to 2 GB of storage with their cloud service. If you require additional features that are not locked behind a paywall, one of the other screen recorders mentioned in this article may work better for you. But if you're someone that doesn't require many features, and you want an easy to use screen recorder, TinyTake is available for Windows and Mac.
4. FlashBack Express
It does not have any time limits or watermarks. Videos can be captured in full screen by selecting a window or by selecting an area of your screen. They do have a pro version of the software with advanced editing features, but if you already have a reliable video editor that you use then the Express version will be all that you need. FlashBack Express is available for Windows XP or newer and to use it they required that the short form be filled out and they'll send you a free license. Near the end of last year they released a free screen recorder specifically for gamers called "FBX". It has many cool features including being able to record up to 120 frames per second. Right now FBX is completely free.
Download Now – Windows
3. Nvidia ShadowPlay & Radeon ReLive
At number three I'll mention two different programs that are graphics card specific. First of which is Nvidia shadowplay, which is only available to owners of GeForce graphics cards. You can record footage to be saved to your computer or stream games to twitch, YouTube, and Facebook. The other program is for those of you with AMD Radeon graphics cards and it's called Radeon ReLive. Just like the other program it can also record your gameplay and stream to the popular services. If your PC has a Radeon or GeForce graphics card, these are two excellent programs that you should check out.
More Information – Nvidia ShadowPlay Radeon ReLive
2. iSpring Free Cam
It is 100% free with no watermarks, time limits or nag screen stub grade. This is one of the easiest screen recorders you can ever use. It even has an audio and video editor built in to remove background noise for any parts of the video that you don't need. While there's single click feature to upload videos to YouTube is convenient. There are two primary reasons why it's not number one, videos can only be exported in WMV format and the highest video quality is limited to 720p. Other than that iSpring Free Cam is one I'd recommend to those of you looking for an easy to use screen recorder. It's only available for Windows. To download, you have to enter an email address, it doesn't have to be a real email account then click on free download to be directed to the download page.
Download Now – Windows
1. OBS Studio
It is open-source and completely free. You can use it to record your screen, that can be saved to your system. Many use it to stream content to the various live streaming services. With OBS you can record up to 60 FPS and there are no forced watermarks. Compared to many of the screen recorders that you can use, the learning curve is slightly higher and the interface is not that user-friendly for newbies. For those reasons I am planning to post an article on beginner's guide for OBS, it should be published very soon. OBS studio is available on Windows, Mac and Linux.

All you need to know about Organic Milk!
Picture healthy, happy, fat cows munching and grazing away on thick, green grass on a quaint farm under the bright sun. Imagine farmers in cute denim overalls squeezing the cow's udders and churning creamy milk for their customers to guzzle on. Then take this image and throw it in the bin along with any hopes of Santa Claus being real. This is because ALL the packaged milk available at your local store has been extracted from cows that have probably spent as much time eating grass as you have.
As shocking as this fact may be, it has been corroborated by research conducted by Newcastle University in the UK, where it was shown that normal store-bought milk is loaded with artificial chemicals, preservatives (in order to enhance shelf life), colors and dyes (in order to give it that perfect white color), pesticides, as well as hormones that were given to cows in order to increase their milk production. Another particularly horrifying fact (yes, it gets worse) is the fact that cows used to produce milk for popular brands suffer from a multitude of diseases of the feet, due to standing for long periods of time in their own waste and excrement. These cows are jam packed inside small cubicles, which leads to injury and stress for these cows, thereby negatively affecting the quality of their milk. These cows are often given hormones and steroids to produce ten times more milk than cows normally do, which causes them to have short lives as a result of illness and disease. Moreover, due to the large scale of production and demand of supply, the way the milk is extracted from these cows is extremely unhygienic and leads to the spreading of bacteria. Another horrifying factoid concerns the amount of antibiotics that are pumped into the cows, causing the consumers of their milk to develop anti-biotic resistant bacteria in their body, thereby opening the channel to a host of other bacteria-related diseases.
Shuddering? So are we. Hold on though, because here comes the good part!
Organic milk, on the other hand, is extracted from cows who are raised and fed the way nature intended them to. They are normally fed 60% naturally grown grass, and the remaining 40% of their fees is derived from maize, hay and silage. As a result, nutritionists claim that organic milk and cheese contains 40% lesser harmful saturated fats compared to conventional milk, but 20% more Omega-3 fatty acids. As a result, organic milk plays a vital role in reducing the chance of contracting heart disease, as well as stimulating healthy sight and brain development in children. Furthermore, research conducted by health experts in Amsterdam shows that children who consume 1 glass of organic milk daily are 40% less likely to suffer from eczema.
If you feel you need another scientific snippet to convince yourselves, then here you go. Studies show that people are increasingly consuming too little Omega-3 and too much of damages Omega-6 fat, which is causing problems such as Alzheimer's, depression, cancer, cardiovascular disease etc. One brilliant way to fix lopsided ration is by regularly drinking organic milk because it increases the level of Omega-3 fat in your body, thereby protecting you from the abovementioned (and more) diseases.
Before signing off – we have to ask you one little question: Have you ever scratched your head at those tetra-packed milk boxes sitting in 40 degree Celsius temperatures in store aisles, for weeks on end, without going bad? Clearly, there is something extremely sinister going on, because the enzymes in milk, in its natural and organic condition, denature quickly in high temperatures which is why it has to be consumed whilst its fresh.
So the next time you spot a box of milk sitting innocently on the store shelf, think long and hard before you put it in your trolley. You're actually doing more harm than good to your body, and your family's, by consuming conventional milk instead of organic, pure milk.

Fragmented protest by divided Congress
A divided Congress house came out with a fragmented agitation on Thursday against revenue minister Bikram Singh Majithia's alleged drug links.punjab Updated: Jan 16, 2014 19:51 IST
A divided Congress house came out with a fragmented agitation on Thursday against revenue minister Bikram Singh Majithia's alleged drug links.
The dharna and Chakka Jam (traffic blockade) protests at three or four places here pulled the party workers into different directions. If one group led by district party president Pawan Dewan blocked traffic at the Jalandhar bypass from 11am to 1pm, another under the command of legislator Bharat Bhushan Ashu staged a dharna from noon to 2pm on the Ferozepur road near Nanaksar Gurdwara.
The public, however, supported the Congress protest, and even as they were stuck, some commuters said the demonstration should continue in state capital Chandigarh. Nearly 500 Congressmen rallied behind Pawan Dewan, former minister Rakesh Pandey, and party leader Amarjit Singh Tikka, demanding the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) inquiry against Majithia.
Ashu's group included Punjab Congress Beopar Cell co-chairman Jatinderpal Singh Bedi, councillor Sanjay Talwar, and party leaders Ishwarjot Cheema and Dhruv Aggarwal. Vikram Bajwa, son-in-law of former chief minister Rajinder Kaur Bhattal, led his supporters to block the Jamalpur road from noon to 2pm, while Malkit Singh Dakha and other leaders, including Manjit Singh Hambran, Tanvir Singh Rania, and Paramjit Singh
Ghawaddi, demonstrated for two hours at Dehlon.
The Congressmen also block traffic on the Malerkotla road.

If you are tired of the "uuge," then the Bar Bay Grill is for you. There are plenty of obvious and popular choices on the menu but for a little adventure you can try any one of a number of the ocean's offerings. No wonder Bar Bay Grill is always surrounded by food lovers and is one of the best places to hang out with your friends. And don't worry if you can't recognize some of the dishes, the staff is friendly and well acquainted with the ingredients of every dish. But Bay Bar Grill must be doing something right, they have now expanded from Union City to its second location in San Jose.
With a full bar, Bay Bar Grill is also a Warrior's game heaven full of energy and excitement. Recommend you go there with friends and sit at the horseshoe bar. The San Jose location is located right on Saratoga Ave. and Keily Blvd. so it's easy to make it a frequent hangout even on weeknights.
Not to miss:
- Try the Yakitori and any of the Asian Fusion dishes.
- Tuesday and Wednesday nights the Oysters are half off!!
- If the Warriors win, you get 50% off your alcohol!!
Here is what people have to say:
- Good food and awesome sports bar. I loved all the food that we ended up ordering.I would definitely recommend this spot to watch sport games with your friends. Anna L.
- Good eats, even better service (ask for David or Casey) and a fun environment. BBG's quickly become one of my go-to's when I'm tryna have a fun night but don't want to journey too far from home. This place clearly caters to the younger crowd (contemporary decor/dim lighting, super loud EDM, sports memorabilia etc.) but every time I've been in, the place is full of customers of all ages. – Alyson A.
- Bar Bay Grill is one of the most perfect bars to have a good time with your friends. They have great deals at night, as well as, during Warriors games. During Warriors games, the deal is that if the Warriors win, then all drinks are 50% off… unless they lose then you have to pay full price, but that's not happening so you're safe. 🙂 – Nishi S.
Seems like this place has a lot to look up to. There's variety of food, lots of appetizers and good music. It that's not enough, you can grab your meals with the best deals. Just download the TasteM8 App from the App Store and get going!


text: The term 'vicious cycle' can be a hard one to put a tangible definition on. The plight of the Black man and woman in America, however, seems to continually provide examples that fit squarely within what one would deem a vicious cycle. DDotElles and PeaCe (who also provided the track) put their reflections on recent events that have propelled the #BlackLivesMatter movement down so eloquently for EFA, and the end result is quite moving. PeaCe's 'caught between a rock and a hard place' narrative balances well against the deep reflection of DDotElles on 'isolated incidents' that occur 'too many times'. Of all the MCs in Austin, DDotElles continues to be the most thought provoking. Take a peek at his lyrics on the Soundcloud page.

Paying tribute to Mirza Ghalib on his 220th birth commemoration, Google praised the late artist with a doodle. Ghalib was a great Urdu and Persian-dialect poet amid the Mughal period. His genuine name was Mirza Asadullah Baig Khan and he was conceived in Agra on December 27, 1797. He started creating sonnets from the age of 11. Despite the fact that his first dialect was Urdu, Turkish and Persian dialects were additionally talked at his home.
Today, Mirza Ghalib is more renowned for his Urdu ghazals among Urdu researchers than he is for his accomplishments in Persian. Subsequent to getting hitched by the age of 13, as per the high society Muslim traditions of the time, he settled in Delhi. One of the repeating topics in Mirza Ghalib's sonnets is the possibility that life is a consistent excruciating battle that closures just with life itself.
Frequently viewed as the last awesome poet of the Mughal period, his sonnet and Ghazals have been deciphered and discussed in different dialects over the globe. In 1850, Mughal head Bahadur Shah Zafar II presented upon him the title of Dabirul Mulk. Amid the most recent years of the Mughal Empire, Mirza Ghalib was not just a vital individual from the Mughal court, yet in addition the writer guide to the head's eldest child, Prince Fakhrud Din Mirza. The ruler additionally selected him as the illustrious student of history of the Mughal court.
Following the decay of the Mughal Empire, Mirza Ghalib attempted to bring home the bacon. Quite a bit of his distinction came to him after death and in his lifetime, regardless of his best endeavors, he couldn't get the British to reestablish his full annuity.
Mirza Ghalib kicked the bucket in Delhi on February 15, 1869 and the house where he lived, in Old Delhi, has been transformed into "Ghalib Memorial". Known as "Ghalib ki Haveli", it for all time houses Ghalib's shows.

|Finished skirt
The fabric for the skirt is wool, tweed, checked. My mother cut out a long straight skirt from the fabric but didn't continue. As you may know, my mother is registered blind and has been for the last 9 years - so this must have been cut out around 10 years ago, I think. Unfortunately, she hadn't thought about pattern matching and I had only the pieces she had cut out. (psst - don't tell Helen, but she didn't use a nap layout and should have done so!). I didn't have any selvedges but the checks were longer lengthwise than widthwise. The pattern pieces were still pinned to the fabric. I washed the wool to pre-treat and shrink. I'm not sure if that's the best way to pre-treat wool but thought that perhaps Helen was more likely to wash than dry clean so that's the route I took.
Anyway, I went ahead and cut out my modified pattern, The front fitted onto the fabric relatively easily and I was able to get a suitable stripe in the centre. The skirt I was making was much shorter, so I had some length to play with. I cut the front out on a single layer, which made it much easier to match the pattern.
The back was a different story, though. There was exactly the right width available for the body of the skirt but no spare fabric for the vent extensions. I was not able to accurately match the lines in the back, the vertical lines, but did my best with the horizontal lines.
|I forgot to get a close up of the vent and of the lapped zipper
I decided to use the lapped zip recommended by the pattern. While making the toile, I had some problems with this but managed an acceptable zip at the end of the process. I started using the pattern's method again. Unfortunately, I kept getting into trouble - that zip was in and out several times. I considered doing an invisible zip but decided against that. Before I inserted the zip, I finished the edges and interfaced the zipper seam allowance.
In the end, I used the method from Reader's Digest and this went ahead without a hitch. I will be using this method from now on for a lapped zip. The two important factors are 1) the seam is tacked closed and 2) the zip stays closed at all times. This should have meant that my stripes stayed where they were supposed to but unfortunately that wasn't the case. I did use a dual feed foot where I could to help, but couldn't with the zipper insertion. I also have double ended pins which are helpful in matching stripes.
I had problems with the waistband. Although there was a waistband with the fabric pieces, this wasn't suitable and I didn't have a piece of fabric large enough - eventually, I pieced 3 pieces of fabric together and used preformed waistband interfacing.
I had intended to line the skirt but with all the problems and wanting to get on to the next thing in my long list, I decided not to. H can make herself an old fashioned under slip to wear with the skirt if she wants. I will also give her the modified pattern and she can have a go at one that starts with the right amount of fabric in the right places!!
Because I wasn't lining the skirt, I went ahead and joined the waistband to the skirt and stitched-in-the-ditch from the front to hold it in place.
I then decide to use a hook and eye closure instead of buttonhole and button.
I asked PR readers advice about my extension-less vents. I got some helpful replies. However, I had said in my post that I would be lining so some of the posts highlighted that area. In the end, I decided to go with my original thought of sewing an extra piece of fabric on each side where the extensions should be. This was tricky with pattern matching and also because the fabric is a little too thick for this treatment. However, needs must!
I decided to keep the fold at the right side of the vent as I thought that would look better than seeing the seam. I slip-stitched down the length of the fold to keep it in pace. The left side was folded back so I made sure the seam was a few mm in from the edge.
I then hemmed the skirt. I chose to overlock the edge, turn up by 4 cm and handstitch the hem in place so that it's not visible from the outside.
This should have been an easier task than I made it appear! The lack of fabric width was certainly a hindrance. I had to cut out my pieces the way I did - even if the back is upside down compared to the front! I wanted to practice lapped zipper, waistband and vents. I also wanted to use up the fabric my mother had given me. So, all in all, success.
The end result is acceptable, I believe. Certainly not couture (and I hope she doesn't think this is a good example of any of the techniques!) but should do Helen a turn or two. With tights and boots it should be cosy for the winter, which is, alas, too close!
I wrote the above when Helen was due to be visiting two weeks later and decided to keep the post until she cam and I could try the skirt and modify if necessary and of course take photos.
Helen and her fiancé were here from the early hours of Friday morning until after lunch today.
On Friday, Helen to tried on the skirt. We found that the extra added to the toile when I was visiting London was probably mainly unnecessary. I had to take in a part of the side seam on each side - H's hips are longer and smoother rather than having a definitive bulge. Anyway, she liked the skirt and plans to wear it to work tomorrow. She read the part of the blog I had already written and approved it and said she'd send a winter photo of her wearing boots and tights.
On Friday afternoon, I was able to visit my pattern cutting tutor with Helen to get advice on the fit of her dress toile and how to modify that and my little dressmaking model (Missy). I'm pleased to say that was pretty successful - we finalised our wedding dress ideas, taking my tutor's input very much into account - no further details on my blog, though!
A was able to try on his second waistcoat toile. Interestingly, I had modified the first toile by pinning at the time and then making the changes to the pattern and the existing toile, but also produced a second 'cleaner' toile. These were very different in fit, with the second being much superior. I hadn't copied the changes over directly as DH pointed out that A, a sportsman, was fairly strong and more developed around the shoulders, so I took a tuck in the gaping front rather than raise the shoulders. The length was much better, though I will have to modify the position of the tabs on the back. A thinks it is still a little too loose (I took in a lot) - while I don't agree, I think that is a personal choice and I will make some further modifications. I noticed, too , that the right side seam was not completely vertical so I will work on that, too.
On Saturday, yesterday, we were holding the 3rd annual family golf match around Invitation Weekend at our club. I play with my daughter's fiancé, A, while DH plays with our SIL. This year, DH decided to up the ante by having a trophy made! Unfortunately, A had his golf clubs and bag, containing golf shoes and other accessories , stolen on Friday, discovered when he went to get them from their supposedly secure storage. He and H nearly missed their late night train as locks had to get changed, insurance company contacted etc. A managed to buy new shoes etc on Saturday morning and DH loaned him some golf clubs, by splitting his set with him.
Yesterday was a beautiful late summer/early autumn day with temperatures as high as 19 deg C - warm for us but maybe not for our southern living family! I golfed in crops and golf shirt until close on 6pm when I had to put on my jumper. A managed the round without developing any blisters - a positive with brand new shoes. A and I managed to win the match, though our scores were poor in comparison to the other scores entered. My SIL and A are both very competitive and are already planning more practice before next year's round now that a trophy is involved!
Today my oldest daughter Alison tried on her dress toile and I made a few minor modifications. I'm pleased to say that the bust area fitted pretty well. However, I think she'd suit a princess seamed bodice better and I plan to modify the toile further. She takes a 32FF bra and as a result, the side bust dart is rather large, which might not look so good in some of the bridal fabrics.
Helen and Alison added a couple of tweaks to the drawings for the bridesmaids' dresses, approved by A, and I'm pleased that I now have a clear way forward. DH took some photos of Helen in the skirt and some photos against a measuring stick for reference later.
I've just started back at my sewing classes and I'm excited about the next stages of these projects.

Emma's 1st Polka Dot Birthday Party
Here's our entry table/gift table. I found a polka dot fabric at Hobby Lobby and just covered my entry table with it.
Here is the take away gift for our guest: bubble gum balls. - Dollar store find.
Here's the big display at our dining table. Those paper lanterns are awesome!! I just got three different sets and added ribbon to hang them. I just used clear push pins and pushed them into the ceiling.
Here are the cupcake with those same gum balls on some of them as well as the extra large dot sprinkles around the edges. Since they were gumballs I didn't put them on all of them since a lot of our crew couldn't even chew gum yet. Another note, we planned for the kids to eat outside and I'm SO grateful we did that because those large sprinkles just rolled all over the place!
Here's some of the activities we had. First, was the floral beads. I just put them in a tub outside on our kids picnic table and put an older child there to help monitor that they just didn't get thrown all out. The kids (especially the little ones) just loved feeling them.
We also had some cupcake coloring pages that the kids took turns coloring and putting their own 'polka dot' sprinkles on top (pom poms). I thought this was going to be lame, but the kids loved this!
Here's the rest of our polka dot themed foods:
-Ritz cheese cracker sandwiches
-Nilla wafers
-Banana Nutella wafer sandwiches (these were a hit!)
-Candy dots
-Those mexican marshmallow cookies
-More gum balls, just for fun!
-Circle crackers served in a round cheesecake pan
-Hummus (round containers)
On the invitation we asked our guest to come spotting the theme: polka dots. So, whoever came wearing polka dots got to take home a bag of skittles with them!
Here's the sweet little birthday girl with her polka dot bib!
She wore a big tulle skirt most of the time, which hid her cute polka dot bloomers but I just had to show them to you! :)
God Bless!

Bank Name
satna is a city in the Indian state of Madhya Pradesh that also serves as the Satna districts administrative headquarters. The city derives its name from the nearby Satna river which flows through the Baghelkhand region of the state. According to the Hindu epic Mahabharata, the Haihaya, Kalchuri or Chedi clans were the inhabitants of the region. Satna has a long history of being a part of various princely states. The city sits on a mineral-rich area and is known for dolomite mines and limestone and it contributes around 8% to 9% of the countrys total cement production. There are ten cement factories in Satna and the product is exported to other parts of the country. Satna houses the well-known electrical cable company called Universal Cables. Satna also serves as a major spot for religious tourism including Chitrakoot, Maihar and Bharhut. There are many temples, a Buddhist Stupa and a fort in the vicinity of the area. The city has quite a few good schools and colleges and is currently upgrading itself to become a modern city with all modern facilities. This city is often called the commercial capital of Baghelkhand as it is among the most promising cities of the state. Several new industries have been planned to be set up in this city by some of the most reputed industrial houses in India.
Are you looking for an escapade to your dream destination, yet deterred by the pocket pinch?
Modern life is hectic and strenuous. Our busy lifestyles often leave us with barely any time or scope for leisure. A little bit of recreation is mandatory to cope with the emotional burnout of mundane life. Vacations can be the ideal solution - brief moments of recreation that can rejuvenate our minds and fill us with vigor to get back to routine with added enthusiasm.
Well, think of it as a personal loan that can fund your vacations. Unlike home loans and auto loans, this doesn't involve collateral. A holiday loan is an unsecured loan. The lending body evaluates your income level, employment history and of course your creditworthiness to decide whether you are eligible for a holiday loan. You may even apply for it online and get a quick approval too. Once you get the lump sum, you may spend it as you wish for traveling purpose. You have to repay the money in EMIs over time. It goes without saying that you should carefully plan a vacation budget before borrowing the money and subsequently refrain from overspending.
1. Build your Credit Score
2. Reduce your Current Borrowing / EMI Costs
Tourism has become a highly commercialized industry. The cost of traveling has risen considerably with the growing rate of inflation. Transport, accommodation, food - nothing comes cheap nowadays. You might have a particular destination in mind but settle for some other spot for budget constraints. While a few might save up for vacation expenses, many might not. You might have the desire to travel but lack a monetary backing. Why let your savings take a massive blow all at once when you can rely on an alternate mode and source of financing? Holiday loan is such a facility that lets you enjoy your holidays peacefully, without bothering about the expenses immediately. You could slowly and conveniently repay the amount over a period of your choice in steady monthly installments.
The booming finance sector has undergone a massive revamp in the past decade. Most financial institutions offer a plethora of credit lines. Holiday loans have become quite prevalent, and almost every bank, NBFC and P2P lender offer it. However, it's imperative that you meet the eligibility criteria for such a loan. It is also crucial that you cautiously choose the lender. The perfect holiday loan should be taken from a lender who offers the best interest rates, a convenient moratorium period, feasible and flexible repayment scheme and efficient customer support team.
1. Build your Credit Score
2. Reduce your Current Borrowing / EMI Costs
Quite similar to a Personal Loan, you need to approach a Bank, an NBFC or a P2P lender with an application. Most of the financial institutions allow you the convenience of applying for a loan online. They generally approve the loan instantly if you successfully meet their eligibility criteria and provide the required documents. Once the loan is sanctioned, there are no specific restrictions on how to use the loan funds. Availing holiday loans is quite easy and comes with myriad benefits and perks. Such loans are generally availed for a shorter duration, thus saving you your valuable money.
The interest rates for holiday loans differ from bank to bank. Since these loans do not depend upon collaterals, expect the interest rates to be slightly higher than other secured loans. Most lenders would check your income level, credit score, profession, age, past loan repayment history before deciding upon an interest rate. If you have a laudable credit history, you are more likely to get a competitive interest rate on a holiday loan.
Vacations give you a sense of ownership over your life. They help you refresh your mind for a few days before getting back to the bustling city life; they let you spend some blissful moments with your loved ones; they let you live life freely for a few days, away from the cacophony of your busy life. Holiday loans make such dream vacations possible without taxing your cash flows.

Toyota introduces a sleeker, more fuel-efficient 2013 Avalon It was time for a new Avlaon. The last one first debuted in 2005, which in automotive industry time is nearly an eternity. Standing as Toyota's flagship and largest sedan, the last Avalon was anything but aggressive and sporty. Eager to change that, Toyota outsourced the interior and exterior design of the 2013 Avalon to the Calty Design Research firm. Calty came back with — we can all agree — a very striking Toyota sedan. Looking something like a Buick crossed with a Volvo with an inverted 2013 Ford Fusion front end, Calty was successful in separating the incoming model from the outgoing in a good way. It's not just better ...Read full article »

Those who buy the just-arriving 2013 Toyota Avalon Limited, if they choose the Technology Package, won't have to. A lid in the upgraded center stack provides Qi wireless charging to keep that Lumia 920 or Nexus 4 topped up without cluttering the console. As always, convenience carries a steep price tag: a gas-only Avalon Limited with the package costs $42,195 before the usual added fees and taxes, while a hybrid bumps that to $43,945. We wouldn't go out of our way just to skip the wires, then, but the wireless power may tip the balance ...Read full article »
2013 Toyota RAV4 Spy Photos — Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums
Written by: Motor Trend Staff on April 18 2012 9:00 AM The 2013 Toyota RAV4 will enter a reinvigorated compact crossover scene once it hits showrooms, likely in the fall of this year. And when it does, don't be surprised to see the swift RAV4 V-6 variant dropped, potentially bringing the Toyota SUV more in line with the popular Honda CR-V, which has only ever had one four-cylinder engine option in the U.S. These renderings preview what we might see from the 2013 Toyota RAV4 . which should join newly redesigned vehicles like the 2013 Venza and 2012 Camry in featuring a stretched grille connecting refreshed headlights. New wheel options will freshen the profile view, but it's inside compact ...Read full article »
Toyota GT 86 (2013)
Toyota GT 86 Toyota's eagerly awaited, compact 2+2 sports car, the GT 86, makes its European debut at the 2012 Geneva Motor Show. On sale throughout Europe in the summer of 2012, the Toyota GT 86 is an entirely driver-oriented vehicle. It gives form to the pure, intrinsic joy of driving through precise, instantaneous response to even the smallest throttle or steering inputs, for those who regard driving as a passion rather than a necessity. With a low, highly aerodynamic bodyshell stretched tight over the engineering hard points, the new GT 86 is based on an entirely new platform. Shunning a heavy, large displacement powertrain for its performance, the GT 86 returns to Toyota's ...Read full article »

2013 Toyota Avalon Hybrid Review — Autoblog
An Efficient New Take On A Well-Worn Formula Comments Add People, us included, make a big stink about the importance of family sedans. There's no doubt they're critical they represent a huge slice of the market's annual sales and profits. However, despite accounting for far fewer transactions than the midsize sedan segment, the fullsize sedan is getting attention from manufacturers now that our market's entire lineup of those (slightly) smaller four-doors has turned over in the last two years or so. As most of the fullsize segment's mainstays derive a fair bit of their platform and powertrain technologies from their midsize cousins, these larger four-doors offer ...Read full article »
2013 Toyota RAV4 Review
2013 Toyota RAV4 Review By Larry E. Hall Toyota's 2013 RAV4 EV is the automaker's second go round of converting its small gasoline powered sport utility to an electric vehicle. From 1997 to 2003, 1,484 RAV4 EVs were leased or sold. Of those, Toyota says approximately 449 are still on the road. This time, rather than develop the electric RAV4 on its own, Toyota joined forces with upstart Silicon Valley electric carmaker Tesla Motors to co-develop and co-engineer the latest all-electric RAV4. Toyota was responsible for the vehicle's design, ride and handling, safety systems and its human-machine interface. Tesla supplies the RAV's electric drivetrain, including the battery and electric ...Read full article »

4501 Tchoupitoulas St
New Orleans, LA
What is it with double named restaurants in New and Orleans? They're everywhere. Dick and Jenny's, located on Tchop near Tipitinas, functions as a well-loved neighborhood restaurant, catering more to a local set then to out of towners in desperate need of oyster po-boys and drinks in neon colors. The restaurant has been in flux in the past couple of years and has seen a succession of chefs go in - and out - of its doors, prompting criticisms of its highly creative but occasionally over-ambitious menu. But in 2010, ex-Flying Burrito chef Daniel Smith came on board and retooled (and simplified) the highly seasonal menu offerings, retaining the joint's slightly nutty flavor aesthetic in the process.
We arrived at 8:30 PM on a week-night and were suprised to find a crowd waiting to be seated. No reservations are taken, so be prepared to settle in at the lounge for a bit - booze and fried oysters are mercifully available in Purgatory.
Fried green tomatoes with remoulade sauce, the eternal appetizer. This dish was supposedly invented at the doughty Upperline Restaurant, and the combo of crispy fried tomatoes with creamy and spicy shrimp remoulaude has become a first-course juggernaut in the area. Dick and Jenny's serves theirs with both a not-too-spicy shrimp remoulade and a sort of creamy, mushroom-red pepper saute. Both sauces are pretty good in tandem with the crispy tomatoes, and it's certainly, well, local.
Meals at Dick and Jenny's are served with some good, if cakey, cornbread.
I went with one of the spring specials, the Gulf Seafood BBQ stew. This mess of sea creature is prepared with bronzed flounder, pan roasted shellfish (mostly shrimps), and stone ground grits, served in an Abita Amber-rosemary sauce. This dish was trying to riff on shrimp and grits and managed to suceed, avoiding D&J's occasional bouts of culinary ADHD. The smoky and thick sauce and the rich grits provided a nice foil to the fresh and gently cooked seafood. This was a fine Spring dish, and yet another rationale for demanding the severed heads of the BP board of executives. You know how it goes.
My dad ordered the special "crawfish boil" dish, which combined crawfish tails, sausage, baby corn, and rice in a crawfish-boil spiced tomato sauce. The idea of the dish is an interesting one, but the execution proved that crawfish boils may best be left un-desconstructed: the mundane, obviously Cajun Seasoned flavor of the sauce overwhelmed the delicate, fatty flavor of good mudbug. And the baby corn additions? Just plain weird. Folks, baby corn don't taste nothing like corn. (
Speaking of. Crawfish freaks need to make a bee-line for the Maple Leaf when it does its free Thursday night crawfish boils. Dudes out back drinking beer dump a bunch of stuff in the crawfish pot, including pork chops, boudin, whole cloves of garlic and Hebrew National hot-dogs, then spread it all out on a bunch of greasy folding tables for the music loving public to dive head-first into. Everyone stands around the trough and shucks crawfish with their spiritual brothers, squirreling away particularly tasty tidbits in the spirit of honest competition. Everyone ends the evening smelling of crap cigarettes, crawfish boil and pervasive body odor with just a little bit of Jager tossed in (somewhere in the air) to keep em' honest. What an Authentic New Orleans Life Experience!)
My mom chose the fried soft shell crab in a seafood green curry broth served over a sort of savory bread pudding. Sounds tasty and it certainly was, but the dish was devastatingly rich- even I couldn't finish it, and I am the family's designated Cleaner of Plates. The freakishly huge crab wasn't overfried, and the green curry sauce had a rich, dense coconut flavor. A few lightening touches and a less mammoth serving size could turn this selection into a real winner.
Atmosphere? Yeah, they've got it here. Dick and Jenny's was built out of the shell of an old grocery and has a quirky, slightly run-down ambiance, accompanied by some overly moody lighting. (Seriously, would it kill y'all to toss in an extra lamp or two? Sometimes I do like seeing my food).
Seek out Dick and Jenny's if you're hunting a unique NOLA neighborhood restaurant with a never-boring take on Cajun and Creole classics. The menu is by no means infallible, but its interesting choices will certainly prevent the sudden narcolepsy brought on by yet another place specializing in goddamn shrimp po-boys and seafood gumbo and red-beans-and-rice on days not Monday, jesus god in heaven. Order a drink, have a loud conversation, and pretend you're cool enough to know the "real" New Orleans. Though of course none of us do, can never really know. But that is philosophy, and for another time.

My son and his new bride spent their wedding night here. They were upgraded, and loved the jacuzzi in their room! They loved the breakfast and appreciated the late checkout. They said that it was beautiful, the hosts were wonderful and they had a much needed get away.

Charming Victorian with a ton of character in a great location managed by gracious hosts. That is how we would sum up our experience at the Wayne B&B. My husband and I have traveled extensively across the country, and we have opted to choose a B&B over a hotel most of the time when traveling for leisure. We can safely say this was the best B&B experience so far, while we have plenty to compare with. A well maintained historical house with great attention to detail in a walking distance to the main street with a number of nice restaurants. Our room and en-suite bathroom were immaculate and full of nice little touches. Living room, dining room and the library were tastefully furnished and felt like home. Bob and Traudi were very welcoming and accommodating every step of the way. Breakfast was delicious and served in a great setting. Maddy, the resident bulldog, was such a delight - so well behaved, she could have sent our two professionally trained labrador retrievers to school. We would certainly recommend the Wayne B&B to anyone looking for a comfortable and home-like place to stay around Philly or Lancaster area.

My stay at the Wayne Bed and Breakfast was delightful. The Mr. And Ms. Thomason were welcoming, friendly and accommodating. The house and grounds are beautiful, my room and en suite bathroom were spacious, clean and comfortable. Breakfast was healthy, varied and yummy. They really made me feel like they were glad I was their guest. I definitely recommend it and would be happy to return. Kathleen Oakland, California

Enjoyed the proximity to town, a refreshing dip in the pool, great breakfast, clean room and congenial hosts.
5 on June 26, 2017
First off, the B&B owner's, Bob and Traudi genuinely love what they do and this happiness and hospitality is extended to their guests. Their home was built in 1790, yet it is filled with light and beautiful furniture and art pieces. The grounds surrounding the home have some specimen trees and the large 55 ft. long pool was an unexpected sight.Our room was on the second floor overlooking the gardens, and it was huge and strewn with light. We had an extended hallway and then a double sink bathroom for our use. Breakfast was delicious and we thoroughly enjoyed sitting around the large dining table meeting the other guests. The home is in a great location in Wayne on the Main Line, and very accessible to all points, including the airport when we needed to leave.

My wife and I had a wonderful weekend here while attending the Villanova reunion. The home and grounds are beautiful and Bob and Traudi are terrific hosts. We loved how quiet the location is, yet minutes from downtown Wayne and Villanova. We highly recommend the Wayne B&B!

My husband is retired from the hospitality business and he possesses an innate gift of choosing impeccable vacation accommodations across the United States. Lucky for me, he found the Wayne Bed & Breakfast Inn, 211 Stafford Avenue in Wayne, Pennsylvania, for a Memorial Day weekend retreat. Proprietors Bob and Traudi Thomason provided a perfect setting for relaxing and taking the time to smell the roses, thanks to Traudi's remarkable gardening skills. And then there is Maddie Thomason, an endearing and gracious English Bulldog that loves people and makes guests feel as if they are staying with old friends. If you are traveling to southeastern Pennsylvania or Philadelphia's Mainline, please check out the Wayne Bed & Breakfast. It is a quiet place to stay that is just a few minutes away from great shopping and restaurants, such as At The Table and Christopher's. Lynn and Harry - 2017

This was a fun place to stay; I really enjoyed it but must hasten to say normally these rates are out of my price range. Bob is a born innkeeper and could not do enough to make my visit wonderful. The second floor suite is divine! Never had better oatmeal, either. Maddy the Greeter, a bulldog, is a treasure -- a lovely, calm dog who politely accepted an apple treat. Within walking distance of shops and whatever you need; very quiet neighborhood. Beautiful garden; nice looking pool. Transportation to airport, train, etc. can be easily arranged and is reasonably priced.

We stayed one night before our Daughter's graduation at Haverford. Was a great decision. A restful and quiet night's sleep in an heavenly bed in the Valley Forge Room. Spacious private bath and of course Maddie the Bulldog. The house is fascinating and filled with many unique pieces....the living room set is incredible. Wish it was not raining so we could have enjoyed spring in the garden. Bob made an incredible Breakfast, even with all my dietary needs and our early departure. Best scrambled eggs ever. He is an incredible story teller and host. The Inn is close to downtown Wayne and restaurants not to be missed.
Innkeeper Response
Katy & Mike, I short but sweet stay, and so gracious. Thank you for shuttling our other Haverford mother to graduation. Thank you, so much. Bob

Fresh Air Weekend: Larry David on his new Broadway play, the creators of the web series 'High Maintenance' and writer Chris Offutt on his father, who wrote over 400 books, mostly pornography.

And Fresh Air tech contributor Alexis Madrigal considers the state of "the Internet of things," with a look at his new wi-fi enabled coffee maker.
Colson Whitehead's book, 'The Noble Hustle,' now out in paperback, was born of an assignment to write about the World Series of Poker. It's a sharp observational tale of poker: those who play it and how it changed him. Then we remember former Notre Dame President Rev. Theodore Hesburgh. He was an author, theologian and activist. Finally David Edelstein reviews 'Maps to the Stars.'
"Nature knows how to let animals live a very long time," says Bill Gifford, whose latest book is 'Spring Chicken: Stay Young Forever (Or Die Trying),' a look at the history of anti-aging schemes and current ways people try to live longer. David Bianculli reviews 'Battle Creek.'

She died Monday at the age of 68. Finally David Edelstein reviews 'Wild Tales.'
It has been a year of professional highs and personal lows for Larry Wilmore. He is still fine-tuning 'The Nightly Show,' which fills the late-night spot on Comedy Central vacated by Stephen Colbert. The show launched just as Wilmore's 20-year marriage was coming to an end.
