JEDDAH, Saudi Arabia—Here, in the hometown of our new enemy, everything eventually betrays. Even the Red Sea.
Tonight, in staggering 100-degree heat, scores of Saudis have been drawn to the Corniche, the path that cuts along the jagged coast of this old port city. There are the families vacationing from Riyadh, picnicking at midnight on the foam-crusted shore. There are the devout men from Mecca, weaving past the Nigerian women hawking fireworks and pony rides. All have come on the promise of relief. But instead of the longed-for breeze, the sea spews hot steam, salty and stale.
Jeddah, Mahmoud Sabbagh, reed-thin and tender-faced, lets the steam soak his T-shirt and smiles. The past year has taught him to abide such deceptions.
There he was, a freshman at George Washington University, when his own country betrayed him, sending 15 men on a flight of death. There he was, crying over the carnage, when he was betrayed a second time, by his second country.
"I was emotionally with the Americans, but then I saw the way they reacted, labeling all the Saudi people as terrorists," he says. "The one thing was hard; the other was in some ways worse."
A year after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, Saudi Arabia is like the Red Sea, defying Western logic. Where we look for remorse, our longtime ally offers indignation. Where we expect introspection, there is a growing defensiveness. Where we thought we sensed a wind of change, there is a hardening around the old ways.
Riyadh, the country's conservative capital, already is closing ranks against the West. Now cosmopolitan, reform-minded Jeddah - Osama bin Laden's hometown - also is slipping away. U.S. support for Israel, war plans against Iraq and a Pentagon advisory report branding Saudi Arabia our enemy have strained the Saudi-U.S. connection, which had once seemed unbreakable.
If 9/11 was intended to fray the cord, it is succeeding.
Sabbagh, 20, still wants to straddle both worlds, the way his father and so many other U.S.-educated Saudis did. But it is harder than he imagined. Each country seems to beseech him to renounce the other.
He is worried about returning to the States this month as the nation wallows in the one-year anniversary of the attacks.
"I hope they don't drag it all out," he says, frowning. "That could stir things up even more."
And then a question his second country cannot abide:
"What good will it serve?"
The Price Of Blindness
There is another side of 9/11, halfway across the world, where our way of assimilating the tragedy has been ambushed.
Nothing holds up here: not our right to demand an explanation from the nation that produced so many of the 19 hijackers; not our insistence on knowing who on the planet is with us or against us; not even our claim on grief.
A year later, as we still reel from the life-altering magnitude of the attacks, the people of Saudi Arabia are ready to write off those 82 minutes of terror as an anomaly of history. They are hurt by seeing their orthodox brand of Islam misunderstood and smeared. They are tired of having their faith scrutinized and their textbooks dissected for anti-Western hatred - especially by a nation that has reared monsters such as Timothy McVeigh without apology.
They have had enough of us barging in, forcing them to fess up.
"Saudi Arabia has been one of the strongest allies to the United States through history. So the [American] reaction has been very traumatic for us," Prince Abdullah bin Faisal bin Turki al-Saud, a nephew of King Fahd who is in charge of attracting foreign investment to the kingdom, said during an interview in Riyadh last month.

Phoenix firefighters are calling a fire at an abandoned mobile home Thursday night suspicious.
The fire was called in by a mobile home park resident about 11 p.m. The blaze caused extensive damage to the trailer in the 600 block of East South Mountain Avenue.
Acting Fire Captain Dan Crowley said the fire's origin was suspicious because there was no electricity or natural gas running to the trailer.
Crowley said the trailer was engulfed by flames when firefighters arrived, and that a second fire company was called to ensure the fire didn't extend to adjacent trailers.
No cause had been determined.
No other information was immediately available.

Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester Berlin
The Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester Berlin is an orchestra based in Berlin, Germany. It was founded in 1946 by American occupation forces as the RIAS-Symphonie-Orchester (RIAS being an acronym for "Rundfunk im amerikanischen Sektor" / "Radio In the American Sector"). It was also known as the American Sector Symphony Orchestra. In 1956 the radio orchestra was renamed the Berlin Radio Symphony Orchestra (Radio-Symphonie-Orchester Berlin). In 1993 the orchestra took on its present name. The Orchestra's first principal conductor was Ferenc Fricsay.
Between the chief conductorships of Lorin Maazel and Riccardo Chailly, the orchestra did not have a single chief conductor. The major conductors who worked with the orchestra during this period, from 1976 to 1982, were Erich Leinsdorf, Eugen Jochum, Gerd Albrecht, Gennady Rozhdestvensky and Neville Marriner. The orchestra returned to having a single chief conductor in 1982 with Riccardo Chailly. The most recent principal conductor was Ingo Metzmacher, who took up the post with the 2007-2008 season.[1] His original initial contract was until 2011. However, after reports of disputes over financing and a threatened reduction in the size of the orchestra, in March 2009, Metzmacher announced his early resignation from the DSO-Berlin principal conductorship as of the summer of 2010.[2] [3] His final concerts as the orchestra's principal conductor were in June 2010 in Berlin[4] and in August 2010 at The Proms.[5] In September 2010, the DSO-Berlin announced the appointment of Tugan Sokhiev as its next Principal Conductor and Artistic Director, as of 2012, with an initial contract of 4 years.[6]
The DSO-Berlin has recorded commercially for several labels, including Harmonia Mundi.[7]

LG has already confirmed we'll be seeing the G Pro 2 smartphone/tablet hybrid next month, and now a leak has given us a look at the device itself. There are two pictures, one of which shows the phone from the side, and isn't all that interesting. The second is considerably more exciting.
We'll leave the side view, as all it shows is the phone has a similar look to the first G Pro, and concentrate on the back view. The picture shows LG is planning to introduce the same rear-mounted controls first seen on the G2 smartphone.
Shifting the buttons from the side to the back on the G2 proved to be a hit for LG, and made its flagship phone really standout. Doing the same on the even larger G Pro 2 is a great idea, and should help make the device easier to use with one hand. In case you've not used the G2, those back buttons adjust the volume and sleep or wake the screen.
According to previous rumours, the G Pro 2′s screen will measure 6-inches and potentially have a 1440p screen, but opinion is split on whether it'll come with a 1080p resolution display instead. Other features include a quad-core Snapdragon 800 processor, 3GB of RAM, and Android KitKat as the operating system.
While LG has said it's headed our way in February, it hasn't provided an exact date, which could mean it'll be revealed during Mobile World Congress on 24 February.

text: UNDATED (WHBL) - A cold front sweeping out of the Rocky Mountains could bring severe thunderstorms to the Plains states today. Humid air reaching well into the Mississippi and Missouri valleys will increase the potential for damaging storm activity. Forecasters say the best chance for bad weather is between eastern Oklahoma and northeastern Iowa, but the chance exists for storms to pop up in Minnesota and Wisconsin as well. Meteorologists say super cells, including hail and possible tornadoes, could occur. If a squall line forms, high winds could cause damage. The Storm Prediction Center says the area from Austin, Texas, to Milwaukee has a slight risk of severe storms today.

- Midnight Resistance -
Prepare to be stunned by the debut album from Midnight Resistance. "Remote" describes the feelings that many people feel when alone in a crowd-- despite the noise and the movement, one can sometimes feel distant, lonely, and remote. That also describes the sound of the album, which is packed with energy, intensity, and thick sounds, yet at the same time presents a lyrical depth and introspective attitude that one would experience while meditating alone in a remote landscape. This is a powerful synthpop album that can equally be a hit on the dancefloor as it can be your own room, on your own headphones, and in your car as you drive to far off destinations. Join the Midnight Resistance!

Well, $15 million is expected to do just that for the students and faculty of the Department of Visual Arts. The source of happiness will be the new art facility the money will pay for on Weber State University campus. A groundbreaking ceremony held June 6 began the 70,000 square foot realization of the dreams of many people that started with a contribution of more than $1 million from Mark and Lola Austad 23 years ago. "We have been looking forward to this day for 20 years," said Paul H. Thompson, WSU president. About 1 50 students, faculty, community members and donors gathered at the event for the new Ethel Wattis Kimball Visual Arts Center. Donation will provide scholarships, benefit capital campaign By Tanna Barry managing editor-7ie Signpost A recent $1 million donation will help more Weber State University students earn scholarships as well as benefit WSU's ongoing capital campaign. Jon Huntsman caused an. audible gasp to ripple through the crowd at WSU's May commencement when he announced he would be donating $ 1 million to WSU. The money will go to pay for student scholarships. "It was a big surprise to everybody in the room," said President Paul H. Thompson. Huntsman will donate the money in $250,000 increments over the period of four years. The first endowment will arrive in a few months. Thompson said. "We have a lot of students who aren't getting the scholarship support that they need," Thompson said. 'This donation will be very beneficial." Scholarship money from Huntsman's donation will become available in fall 2001. Every year the university will use 5 percent of the interest gained from the donation for scholarships.

A video presentation "We have a lot of students who aren't getting the scholarship support that they need. This donation will be very beneficial' President Paul H. Thompson The first year, $12,500 will be available, but the amount will increase each year. "It will just help a lot of kids," said Ann Millner, vice president of university relations. "It's a very big donation." Qualifications for the scholarships have not been determined. Millner said once the money comes in they will work with Huntsman to determine those details. "It was a great beginning for the summer," Millner said. This donation hasn't been the only commitment of this size, but it is the most recent. Millner said there have been a number of othermillion-dollar pledges as part of WSU's capital campaign that began in 1998. The campaign includes a quiet phase, which encompasses planning and obtaining donation commitments, showed students and alumni expressing their gratitude and support for the project. It defined the building as a learning facility for aspiring artists and a host of art for the commu as well as a public phase. Each phase lasts roughly two to three years. Millner said the university plans to enter the campaign's public phase sometime during spring semester. "Things are coming along pretty well," Millner said. The university announced last summer that it wanted to earn 50 percent of the total campaign goal during the quiet phase of the campaign. There have been almost $40 million in commitments. No official goal has been set for the campaign, but Millner said it will be around $75 million. "It is helping us build a strong foundation for Weber State University," she said.

Comments of major contributors were highlighted in the film. John A. and Telitha Lindquist labeled the fine arts complex as a "centerpiece for the community." Summer school brings students back to class By Mark Gray news editor-The Signpost After 1 5 weeks of classes it would be understandable for students to spend their summer lying in the sun, going on vacation or just plain relaxing. Anything but sitting through more classes. However, many students at Weber State University are donning the Jansport backpack instead of that Hawaiian-style swimsuit. What would cause these studious beings to pass up a summer of Lake Powell for a summer of lectures? The answer: to graduate sooner. "I'm going so I can get done quicker," said Marianne James, a business major taking seven credits during the summer. According to the WSU registration office, most students who attend summer classes are part-time students. Theses students take an average of six credits during the summer semester. One factor that attracts students to the university dunng summer semester is the block system that WSU offers. Unlike the fall and spring semesters, summer semester offers students a Jim Jacobs, chair of the visual arts department, introduced the unusual decorations surrounding attendants in the alumni center where the ceremonies preceding the groundbreaking were held. Jacobs explained that the department had provided trowels to those students, faculty members, alumni or community members who would like to inr terpret them. The trowels, or small shovels as defined by master of ceremonies Thompson, were to be artistically interpreted in light of the celebration of the groundbreaking for the new building. These were then given to donors as a thank you from the department. "An excellent university has three ingredients," Thompson said, outlining them as an excellent faculty, outstanding students and an outstanding facility. "We are breaking ground today to make the third ingredient possible, we al- See Ceremony page 3 chance to complete a 15-week course in four, six, eight or 12 weeks. "It attracted me," said Amy Packer, speaking of the opportunity to complete a 15-week course in one month. "It's stressful, because they cram the class into four weeks." This unorthodox system is in its second year and is made available to students during the summer semester only. It began when the university changed from the quarter system to semesters. The block schedule has . not made a substantial change in the enrollment of students. According to Brian Shuppy, institutional analyst at WSU, the numbers from the summer of '98 (the last year of quarters) and the numbers from the summer of '99 (the first year of the block schedule) have stayed "pretty level." Shuppy doesn't know what to expect for this summer since the university is in its second year of this type of scheduling. In the summer of 1999. 40 percent of the 5.898 students attended the eight-week block. The official enrollment numbers for the summer of 2000 will be available in August.

Barcelona General Strike - flickr
We ventured out this morning even though we were told to just stay in today. We found one contingent of the strike marching up La Rambla so we followed them for a mile or two as they shouted slogans and stopped at various banks to plaster the front of the buildings with protest stickers and chant at the people inside.
There's nothing much going on around here right now, at least not in front of us. But between the eerie silence of the roadways that's sometimes punctuate by sirens, whistles, fireworks or the buzz of helicopters overhead and the disquiet that comes when most stores along a busy strip are shuttered, it's a little surreal.
There is supposed to be a protest just down the block from our hotel later, so we'll go check that out then head back to La Rambla tonight to see what we can find.
You should read up on the general strike and find out what they people of Spain are fighting for. Things I saw and heard today: Better pay for teachers and social workers and the plight of people who are losing homes to banks that were bailed out and they have to keep paying off their mortgage debt even when the banks take their homes.
Sound familiar?
Oh, and there's a 22% unemployment rate here.

Wisconsin Card Sorting Test
The Wisconsin Card Sorting Test (WCST) is a neuropsychological test of "set-shifting", i.e. the ability to display flexibility in the face of changing schedules of reinforcement.[1][2] The WCST was written by David A. Grant and Esta A. Berg. The Professional Manual for the WCST was written by Robert K. Heaton, Gordon J. Chelune, Jack L. Talley, Gary G. Kay, and Glenn Curtiss.
Initially, a number of stimulus cards are presented to the participant. The participant is told to match the cards, but not how to match; however, he or she is told whether a particular match is right or wrong. The original WCST used paper cards and was carried out with the experimenter on one side of the desk facing the participant on the other.[2] Since the early 1990s, however, computerized versions of the task have been available, the most recent version being the Microsoft Windows-compatible version 4.0.[3] The latter has the advantage of automatically scoring the test, which was quite complex in the manual version. The test takes approximately 12–20 minutes to carry out and generates a number of psychometric scores, including numbers, percentages, and percentiles of: categories achieved, trials, errors, and perseverative errors.

Clinically, the test is widely used by neuropsychologists, clinical psychologists, neurologists and psychiatrists in patients with acquired brain injury, neurodegenerative disease, or mental illness such as schizophrenia. It has been considered a measure of executive function because of its reported sensitivity to frontal lobe dysfunction. As such, the WCST allows the clinician to assess the following "frontal" lobe functions: strategic planning, organized searching, utilizing environmental feedback to shift cognitive sets, directing behavior toward achieving a goal, and modulating impulsive responding. The test can be administered to those from 6.5 years to 89 years of age.
Although successful completion of the test relies upon a number of intact cognitive functions including attention, working memory, and visual processing, it is loosely termed a "frontal lobe" test on the basis that patients with any sort of frontal lobe lesion generally do poorly at the test. In particular, patients with lesions of the dorsolateral frontal lobe make a higher number of perseverative errors than control participants.[4] A recent factor analysis of the WCST has shown these perseverative errors to be the most useful outcome measure in assessing cases.[5] A more sophisticated description of deficits of this type is "executive dysfunction".
Use in research
The WCST has been used in neuroimaging paradigms such as PET and fMRI. As predicted by the acquired brain injury literature, early PET studies have shown the task involves significant activation of the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex.[6][7] However, more recent fMRI studies have shown that the ventrolateral prefrontal cortex (Konishi et al., 1998, Nature Neuroscience) together with the caudate nucleus (Monchi et al., 2001, J. Neuroscience) may be the regions most important for the set-shifting process required in the WCST. These regions are also associated with working memory functions (Frank et al., 2001). The test's use in neurodegenerative diseases such as motor neurone disease has identified at least a subgroup of these patients for whom there is some subtle degree of cognitive dysfunction, in contrast to the traditional view that these were pure disorders of the motor system.
The test is also widely used in research into schizophrenia.[8][9] Adapted version of the WCST were also developed for monkeys.[10] They tend to shown a faster decline of performance with age than humans.

The Philadelphia Flyers took a commanding 3-1 series lead over the New Jersey Devils following Tuesday's victory, but the win came at a cost.
Simon Gagne and Jeff Carter both suffered foot injuries in the contest, and both will have surgery on Friday.
According to the Flyers, Gagne could return to action in three weeks while Carter is out indefinitely.
Gagne blocked a Brian Rolston shot in the second period and was forced to leave the game with less than eight minutes remaining in the period. Carter was hit by a shot from the point by Chris Pronger, in which he immediately deposited the loose puck for his second goal of the game.
Carter, who led the team in goals with 33 in the regular season and has two goals and an assist in four playoff games, missed eight games towards the end of the regular season with a fractured left foot. Gagne has two assists in four playoff games.
Ville Leino will likely take at least one of the spots at forward. The Flyers have a number of call-ups from the Phantoms that could also play, including Andreas Nodl and David Laliberte.
The Flyers will try to clinch the series Thursday night in New Jersey (7:30pm et/4:30pm pt on TSN2).

The one thing that has stuck with me every day since my English teacher told me it in middle school is:
"When referring to someone, always say who they are before anything else about them, because being a person always comes first"
Instead of saying "the mentally ill man," say "the man with a mental illness"
Putting someone's characteristics (especially negative ones) before them is dehumanizing and rude. Don't do it.

Every day, a satisfying aroma travels throughout a Lincoln neighborhood like a fresh cup of coffee.
But the roasters at Rogers Family Co. make a lot more than one morning pot.
"We roasted 290,000 pounds in 2011," said Pete Rogers, part of the family-run coffee business that moved to Lincoln in 2009.
"My first love is roasting," he added. "Roasting beans is like baking. It's an art and a science."
The Rogers family bought their coffee-roasting enterprise in 1979. Formerly based in San Francisco, the company roasted 5,000 pounds its first year and recorded $132,000 in sales. Now, its annual sales top $112 million.
Each holiday season, Rogers Family makes special blends for Raley's supermarkets and other customers. (Rogers' San Francisco Bay Coffee is also sold at Safeway, Fresh & Easy, Costco and Albertsons.)
Coming up with new flavors takes a lot of tasting. But the Rogers employees are used to it.
"We 'cup' every batch of coffee," said Pete Schmitt, who has been professionally tasting Rogers coffee for 17 years. "We roast 24 hours a day, with 40 batches per machine and six roasters. We'll gather a group of two to three people together for each batch. We all taste the finished coffee."
Each batch starts with 1,000 pounds of raw beans. When finished, the roasted beans will weigh about 770 pounds. Darker roasts lose more weight.
"You have to keep it moving or it will catch fire," Rogers said. "We have three banks of heat on each roaster. You can play with the heat and the flavor. It can be tangy and sharp, or you can turn down the heat and bring out the sweetness. A lower temperature in the early stages allows the sugars to go back into the bean instead of burning off."
Some experts also sample unroasted beans for quality control.
"Green coffee tastes raw," said Maureen Cuthbert, cupping quality manager. "It's got a grassy scent. To develop the flavor, you need to roast it. The chemical reaction caramelizes the sugars and creates that coffee taste."
Additional flavorings such as cinnamon oil or cocoa powder are added to the roasted beans in a mammoth mixer.
"About 20 percent of the coffee we do will be flavored," Rogers said. "Hazelnut is still No. 1; a lot of people like it."
For its 2012 holiday blends, Rogers Family enlisted coffee consumers for their opinions. Members of Raley's Mom's Panel supplied the taste buds for the project.
Choosing from several flavorful combinations, the moms came up with three winners: Peppermint Bark, Pumpkin Spice and chocolate-laced Whoopie Pie. Priced at $6.99 to $9.99, the special coffees are packaged under the Raley's label and now available in stores.
Conversely, coffee itself can be a flavoring in other foods, often complementing other tastes. For example, coffee intensifies chocolate and adds a smoky note to barbecue.
It's not surprising there's so much crossover between coffee and food. We Americans love our coffee but almost all of it is imported.
Hawaii's coffee crop, our only domestic source, totaled 7.6 million pounds for 2011-12, down 14 percent from the previous season because of weather.
Grown mostly in tropical regions, coffee is harvested year-round, but the bulk of the world crop ripens between August and February. That's why roasters are so busy during the winter months there's a fresh supply of beans.
Picked as red cherries, coffee needs to be processed and dried to yield the green, hard beans inside. Each cherry produces two beans that look like elongated pea halves. After drying, beans are then roasted, usually thousands of miles from the coffee fields.
According to the USDA, worldwide coffee production for 2012-13 is expected to hit a record 148 million bags more than 19.5 billion pounds. That's up 6.7 percent from the previous crop, but supply remains tight. Consumption keeps rising, too.
Brazil, the world's largest coffee grower, expects the upcoming harvest to reach a record 55.9 million bags. (Each bag typically weighs 60 kilos, about 132 pounds.) Rapid expansion of Vietnam's coffee industry will push its total production to 22.5 million bags, three times the Colombian coffee crop.
Rogers Family does a lot more than roast beans. Conscious of the complex environmental and social consequences of coffee production, it owns nine sustainable coffee farms and works closely with its growers, spread out from Mexico and Panama to Rwanda.
Dedicated to helping its coffee producers, the company has built schools, health clinics and other facilities for its farmers. The Rogers family also campaigns for organic and earth-friendly farming methods such as shade-grown coffee bushes and worm composting.
"Our goal for 2013 is to get more money into the farmers' pockets," Rogers said. "None of this would be feasible without partners like Raley's. By buying our coffee, you're helping the program."
Coffee nation
Americans are drinking more (and better) coffee as U.S. coffee sales top $40 billion, up from $18 billion in 1999. According to the National Coffee Association, U.S. daily consumption rose 7 percent this year from 2011.
Almost three-quarters of American adults drink coffee at least once a week, with more than half drinking coffee every day. On average, we drink three cups daily.
Overall, gourmet coffee accounts for 42 percent of all U.S. sales. Almost one-third of those surveyed in the NCA poll said they drank at least one cup of gourmet coffee in the previous 24 hours.
We got the coffee habit early. When the War of 1812 embargoed tea imports to the new United States, early Americans switched to coffee as their brew of choice. We now drink more coffee than carbonated sodas.
Dunkin' Donuts is America's No. 1 coffee retailer, serving nearly 1.5 billion cups a year.
Per capita, we drink about 4.8 pounds of coffee a year. But that's just a sip compared to Finland; the world's biggest coffee drinkers consume 26.4 pounds per capita per year.

Claire Litherland ′09
Last summer I had the opportunity to intern in a commercial laboratory in Atlanta, Georgia, that specializes in biological public health issues. I sought out this experience because I thought the lab work would supplement my biology major and further inform my interest in public health. While I did gain many laboratory skills and practical knowledge, what most struck me was the broader consequences the biological work had on business and the economy.
While working in the laboratory, I assisted with the culture and identification of environmental microbes. By working to create protocols for prevention and responses should an infection occur, I got to observe how businesses reacted to these organisms. The fates of the two were inextricably intertwined; how could such a minute bacteria or fungus have such a profound impact on the economy? And how could industry react properly without scientific guidance?
Last fall, I was also able to study abroad in Cairo, Egypt; I arrived just weeks after Avian Flu had been isolated in the chicken population and all chickens had been culled. This had a monumental effect on all aspects of Egyptian life. Not only was there the fear of the mutation and transmission of the virus, but also the impact that the decimation of the birds had on the Egyptian economy, in which the poultry industry plays a huge role. To really understand the implications of this experience it is necessary to understand the importance of Bird Flu as a virus that could seriously threaten the global population, but also the economic effects of the response to the disease.
These experiences have motivated me to create a bridge major that reflects the full scope of influence that biology has on the functions of the economy, the role economics plays in shaping health and health care, and the way in which public health functions within these two disciplines. Like my encounter in Cairo, in order to understand a complete picture of the issues and obstacles facing public health, I need to understand all the elements at work, from the molecular level – looking at the causes of disease – and at the economic level – exploring the institutions and principles that drive the business sector and shape government policy.
By combining relevant courses from the biology and economics departments, I hope to better understand the biological causes of disease and the way in which the manifestation of disease resonates in economics.

A Little Blue/A Lot Scrappy
Michiko, my Japanese friend, and I went to work cutting and piecing blue scraps. Amanda Jean would be proud of us. She inspires us all to use our fabric scraps. I find it a lot of fun and satisfying. The only part I don't love is having to iron before cutting, but we didn't have a lot that needed ironing...yeah!
This scrappy baby boy quilt went to a sweet guy named Otto. He weighed over 10 pounds when born!
The squares were cut at 3 inches. The quilt is 16 squares by 15 squares in size.
|I machine quilted straight lines (didn't even put the walking foot on!) on one side of each seam, across and up and down the whole quilt. This step went real fast.
...even a little blue elephant to take naps with Otto!

A Little White/A Little Pink
'back row at church acquaintance' had a new baby girl, this white and pink scrappy quilt popped into my mind. I knew I wanted to make this quilt, and quick. I just happened to see this little baby girl named Addison, who, is beautiful, at the grocery store with her mama. I was able to hook up with them later and deliver the quilt when it was completed.
|This is one of those quilts, that adding the binding and getting it stitched down, just made the whole quilt. It seemed cuter after that final stitch.
|The backing is a big polka dot in flannel. I'd had this in my stash for a couple of years. I'm please with how well it worked for this quilt. For the quilting, I used my favorite stitch, the Serpentine #3 on Bernina. I worked it in a large grid, passing through every other stripe of fabric, horizontally and vertically, edge to edge. I wish the picture showed the quilting. I hope Addison and mommy Katie, get a great amount of use in this quilt...and that someday, when Addison has a baby girl, she can use it then too. That's the beauty of good quality quilting fabric!

A home tour...where?....small small! town Idaho, Oakley, Idaho that is...
Most of these homes are old structures with updated interiors.
This one below is the old elementary school!
Brick, brick lovely brick.
So quaint.
Close up of the home above. In most of these homes, the kitchen is in the back of the house.
This one had two or three additions over the decades, of housing several generations of the same family.
The grey structure below, was the local creamery/cheese factory in it's former life. Now it is a summer home to the owners. Occasionally, during the off season, I am fortunate enough to stay here. It is usually for girls' weekends, and boy do we have a great time! Thanks Nicole!

Living Area Chairs
Jul 29, 2013 10:01:00 AM
With so many seating choices in a room it is hard to know the differences between them. These days accent chairs serve as sort of an accessory in the room. They are not the main seating in the room. Accent chairs are mainly utilized for decorative purposes and to bring out and compliment other furniture pieces. As the name of the chair implies, it is a chair to accent a room, yet provide occasional seating.
You Can Create

They say necessity is the mother of invention. I tend to agree with that statement. First there has to be a need, then, because you need something, you will find ways of getting that item or product that will improve your life in some way. If you can't find a product that suites your needs perfectly, the next step is to make it. This is how design is born. Design is born out of our need to problem solve. Design is intentionally planning your thoughts out in order to have a desired outcome or product.

Four Great Furniture Designers
Jul 15, 2013 9:37:49 AM
Modern Design is a style that was created in the 1920's – 1950's. Modern design or Mid-Century design, involves clean and sleek interiors that are clutter free. The design is all about geometrical shapes and curvilinear lines in the architecture, furniture, art, and accessories. The colors most often used are neutral colors, blacks, whites, and bold colors such as blue, reds, greens, and yellows.

Alternative Window Treatments
Jul 10, 2013 9:52:12 AM
Do you remember how great it is to find something you were not expecting? Well I have found something that I would like everyone to know as a potential resource to expand their design possibilities. It may already be well known to others, yet others may not know about this secret that I have found. I stumbled on it when I went to look for UV film for the windows. With the window advancements in insulation, many times window treatments are not needed as much to keep the weather conditions outside of your home. So now it is time to start thinking of alternative window treatments.

Warp Preview (and video of the complete demo)
One adorable surprise from PAX East 2011 was the independently developed puzzle-stealth title Warp. Being released under the EA Partners banner, Warp is currently being crafted by the Montreal-based team at Trapdoor Inc.
Warp puts players in control of an imprisoned creature who, much to the surprise of his captors, can teleport short distances. Though scientists want to examine the creature, for presumably nefarious reasons (is there ever a good reason to?), the game's hero has no intention of staying put.
Ordinarily I'd list some of the events from the demo that stood out, but for Warp, that seems unnecessary for two reasons: the demo was a short and sweet three minutes long and the entire thing can be viewed in the video below.
The premise of the game is to help the powerful creature escape from the underwater laboratory. If a weapon-wielding human spots the creature and lands a shot, the little guy dies immediately. Rooms going toward the lab's exit give players various methods of approach. Players can warp through most walls, into objects (like barrels), and even enemies.
Once warped into an object or enemy, flicking the analog stick begins the process of bursting the character out into the world. If it's a barrel, the burst sends a blast of exposive energy toward bad guys. Bursting out of an enemy reduces them into a pile of limbs and a pool of blood.
Some elements that Warp producer Thomas Scott mentioned to me during the demo include the ability to toy with the enemies. If you warp into an object or enemy and begin to wiggle the stick, other on-screen characters may grow suspicious of their strange mannerisms and sounds. Raise enough suspicion and you can trick one enemy into attacking another (just remember to warp out before the bullets start flying!) or lead enemies to investigate an explosive barrel (why do bad guys love ordering those things, anyway?).
According to Scott, players can approach the game in a number of ways: as a bloodthirsty creature looking to decimate every life in the underwater lab or as a stealthy soul looking for a quiet way out.
Warp was fun--for the admittedly short time I had with it. It also drew a crowd, with a number of attendees lining up behind be for a next go-round after seeing it in action.
The concept shows promise and apparently EA agrees, having recently confirmed the title would see a "summer 2011" downloadable release on the PC, Xbox 360, and PS3.

Sure, the aftermath of seeing its bid for a perfect season come to an end was hard to endure. But it didn't take this Patterson High football team long to put what it had done in perspective.
Perfection is exceedingly rare, whether for a baseball pitcher, a pearl or a prep football team. The Tigers (9-1 overall) finished the Western Athletic Conference campaign at 5-1, following the deepest unbeaten run in program history.
The Central Catholic High Raiders rallied for an enormous victory on Friday, Nov. 8, knocking off the previously undefeated Patterson Tigers 17-13, to claim an undisputed league title.
"Our kids fight and they don't give up," Marchy said following the loss. "We wanted this one pretty bad, and it hurts, but it's a new season starting next week with playoffs. We'll keep moving forward."
If Friday's rivalry took on even more relevance for players this season, it's because it's the final time the two schools will square off as conference adversaries.
Until the Raiders' second-half surge, the Tigers seemed headed for their 10th straight win and their first league championship since 2010, thanks to their prolific, and often indefensible, passing attack.
But Patterson's dreams of chronicling the first unblemished season in school history ended Friday when Matt Ringer finished off a 13-yard touchdown run early in the fourth quarter, providing the necessary cushion for Central Catholic in a come-from-behind triumph over the visitors.
For Patterson's boisterous and well-traveled fans, black was the new crimson.
With less than a week's notice, a crowd of hundreds arrived in black at Patton Stadium, in an attempt to create an intimidating atmosphere and build camaraderie.
It cast a fresh, eerie and somewhat menacing backdrop to Patterson's first-half dominance of Central Catholic (9-1, 6-0).
Patterson deferred to begin the contest and in typical fashion, Central Catholic devoured nearly 8 minutes off the clock on its opening drive, plodding 56 yards on 17 plays. Kicker Kenny Smart capped it with a 22-yard field goal to give the Raiders an early 3-0 lead.
Central Catholic strung together a late first-quarter drive that bled into the second, and threatened to bolster its advantage after advancing to the Patterson 34-yard line.
With 8:35 left in the second period, Ringer took a pitch from quarterback Hunter Pentlansky in what appeared to be a sweep around right end. But Ringer eased up and while under pressure from Patterson pass rushers, hurried his throw for a teammate. Central Catholic's receiver got tangled up with a couple of Tiger defenders, however, leaving Damarrio Hammonds in position to make an easy interception at the 4-yard line.
On the ensuing possession, Patterson quarterback Damien Paulo connected with receiver Brandon Williams for a 37-yard grab that set up a 1st-and-10 situation at the Raider 18-yard line.
But the Tigers squandered the opportunity, and Paulo's next pass was intercepted near the goal line, handing the ball back to Central Catholic with 5:33 remaining before halftime.
It was Patterson's turn to make a big play on the ball.
Jordan Levu sent a charge through the visiting crowd and his teammates as he scooped up a Central Catholic fumble and sprinted 52 yards for a touchdown, and the Tigers had a 6-3 lead.
On the next series, the Tigers forced a three-and-out after stopping Central Catholic at its 25.
With 14 seconds left before the intermission, Avion Warmsley added another clip to his highlight reel, when he pulled down a 43-yard heave from Paulo over two Raiders defenders.
They jumped. He jumped higher. And the Tigers' stalwart wideout — playing with a heavy heart following the passing of a relative earlier this year — silenced the hometown bleachers just before the halftime whistle, making the score 13-3 on the final play of the opening half.
Then came the remarkable turnaround: 14 unanswered points for Central Catholic after the break.
Ringer's 41-yard scamper in the third quarter was a doozy, as he broke several tackles, cut back against the grain and raced toward the end zone. A touchdown-saving tackle from Hammonds stopped Ringer at the Patterson 8 with about 7 minutes left in the third.
Two plays later, the Raiders' Reggie Bland streaked down the middle of the field, and a 5-yard touchdown clipped the deficit to 13-10.
Ringer led Central Catholic on a clock-churning drive that covered 76 yards on 12 plays, which he capped with a 13-yarder, to put the Raiders ahead with 11:13 left in the fourth quarter.
After struggling somewhat against Central Catholic to find traction on offense in the second half, Patterson again turned to its defense to try and generate points.
With 7:06 left to play, Ringer lost a fumble when Patterson's Ruben Rosas ripped the ball free, and returned it just over 20 yards inside the Raiders' 40-yard line.
The Tigers could do nothing with the turnover and had to punt after a three-and-out.
Behind Bland and Ringer, the Raiders were able to successfully burn out the clock in the final six minutes, and the game ended with Pentlansky taking a knee at the Patterson 2.
"Our kids are getting hungrier and hungrier," Marchy said. "They're going to come ready to work on Monday. They want to get back on the field. They don't want to feel like this again."
No. 4-seed Patterson will host Oakdale High, a No. 13 seed, on Friday, Nov. 15, in the opening round of the Sac-Joaquin Section Division III playoffs.
Oakdale (6-4) finished with a 5-2 record in the Valley Oak League.
Game time is slated for 7 p.m. at Patterson Community Stadium, Ward and Salado avenues.
Junior varsity
The JV Tigers watched a one-score lead slip away, and the Central Catholic Raiders showed their championship mettle down the stretch, beating Patterson 34-21 and preventing the local squad from completing its first undefeated campaign in school history.
The Raiders (6-0 WAC) secured a 10-0 regular season and a WAC crown with a victory over Patterson (9-1, 5-1) on Friday night at Patton Stadium.
When the game clock struck zero, Patterson coach Harley Parson stoically shook hands with his Central Catholic counterpart, and then retreated to the postgame huddle, where he thanked his assistants and players for a season on the gridiron, that was better than anybody could have expected.
"This team is only the second one from Patterson High to ever go 9-0. This was a real special year," Parson said. "Everybody gelled so well, and they worked hard. They climbed the ladder every single week, and they gave me everything they had."
Patterson's athletes took the small school from the West Side on an incredible ride, Parson added.
Central Catholic's offense asserted itself early, breaking into the end zone on a 14-yard dash by a running back for a 7-0 lead with about five minutes elapsed of the first-quarter clock.
On the final play of the first quarter, Michael Lawson returned a Central Catholic punt 20 yards to the Raiders' 20. Seven snaps later, Patterson would tie the game on a 1-yard touchdown push from Kevin Todd.
After forcing a turnover on downs with 3:02 left in the second quarter, Patterson took over on its own 25.
One play later, a Todd pass to Lawson went for 75 yards up the left sideline for a score, and Patterson led 14-7.
Central Catholic found the end zone again, when a rusher pounded in a 20-yard carry with 45 ticks remaining in the opening half.
The Raiders took their opening drive of the third quarter 51 yards on two plays, capping the series with a 40-yard TD scamper from a running back to regain the lead, 21-14.
Patterson fumbled deep in its own territory on its next possession, and Central Catholic went back to work.
With 5:12 remaining in the third, the Raiders found the end zone on a 2-yard carry, putting the home team up by two touchdowns.
Patterson opened the fourth quarter with an efficient possession.
This time, Todd connected with Nicholaus Priester for a 30-yard grab, before Jamal Broussard's 25-yard TD trot up the Central Catholic sideline pulled the Tigers within 28-21.
But a Central Catholic 3-yard touchdown plunge with 4:58 left to play put the finishing touches on the Raider victory.
"This team never looked beyond the next game. They were focused week-to-week on whoever we were going to play," Parson said. "I love them. I am very proud of what they have done overall."

It seems, these days, every device in your home can connect to a network in one form or fashion. Media players, televisions, refrigerators, coffee makers, toilet paper dispensers ... the list goes on and on.
Well, if you have a well-connected home, you should also have well-connected centralized storage to filter your media and other files out and about. NewEgg currently has the HP MediaSmart EX470 Windows Home Server (recertified), with 500GB of storage, 3 empty SATA bays, 4 USB ports, and 1 eSATA port for a low $252 after coupon code HP1X191. Similar models with less storage are selling for $500+ new (this one's closer to $800 on Amazon).
If you're not familiar with the Windows Home Server concept, it's basically a low-power PC running as a remotely administered NAS, but with the ability to also run basic applications. This allows you to not only serve network shares, but also run content servers like PlayOn, pyTiVo (easy/free way to turn your TiVoHD into a media hub), or tons of other media centric server-side applications. This WHS app integration can allows you to easily serve your entire media collection, as well as online content, out to inexpensive "dumb" media streamers (like the new WD TV Live) that support network shares and uPnP server playback (eliminating the need for much more expensive Media Center PCs).

"I love this site they got no tax fees and free Shiping also????"
"I liked the ease of the site, the competitive price point, the courteous help line associates, but not the delivery time. It is 9 days since I placed my order and it still has not shipped!"
"LOVE the Shoe Chair I ordered!
Customer Service Rep. was knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful when I called to place the order. Shipping time was sooner than I expected. Quality of the chair is impeccable. I am very pleased with Sexy Furnishings and would refer others to order from this company."
"Love my hand shaped chair! It's a great conversation starter. My 12 year old daughter fits perfectly in the chair to play video games etc. The drink holder in the thumb was a great idea! Shipping was quick. True to measurements listed on website."
"Great customer service. Shipping was unremarkable. Good quality, good price. "
"Dealing with SexyFurnishings was easy, efficient and very satisfying. Quality of product is top notch, solid customer service and a great selection of merchandise. I've made a handful of purchases in the past, and I'm sure SexyFurnishings will continue to be a go-to site for my furniture needs going forward. Keep up the good work!"
"This site is the best - I was nervous about buying furniture on the internet the first time I visited, but I've bought several items at this point and love every one of them. Everything was delivered on time, and the quality is top notch. Not to mention, the furniture is as hip as can be."
"Had a good experience. Products are great and they shipped everything on time."
"I was referred to SexyFurnishings by a friend when I moved to SF and thought they were kidding. SexyFurnishings? But it turns out its a little-known secret with a surprisingly large inventory of cool, unique, hip, traditional and fun pieces. I was able to find some much needed new furniture for my new apartment and get it shipped quick and easy. I tried a few other places online and some stores around the city but between outrageous delivery times (8 weeks) and shipping/delivery charges I was frustrated and did NOT want to wind up with IKEA. Turns out SexyFurnishings wasn't a joke after all and I plan to pick out some more stuff from them with some holiday gift money to keep rounding out my place. "
"I'm not really one to make purchases online, however I will definitely will be back to Sexy Furnishings in the future. They were quick to respond to any questions I had about their products. Also - love the unique name!"
