Simon Cowell snubs Cheryl Cole's birthday invite?
Simon Cowell is reported to have turned down an invite to Cheryl Cole's birthday bash in Los Angeles.
Simon Cowell has allegedly snubbed Cheryl Cole's 30th birthday party.
The music mogul is said to have turned down the singer's invitation to join her in Los Angeles for her £50,000 birthday bash tonight (30.06.13), which she hoped would be the perfect opportunity to quash their long-standing feud.
A source told the Sunday People newspaper: ''She sent an invitation to Simon as she genuinely wanted him there.
''He's been a big part of her life and, despite their falling out, she sees him as an old friend who she was very close to once. She was hoping he'd make it so is a little disappointed he won't be there.
''She has put all their differences aside and moved on in her life. The party is going to be one of the most memorable occasions and she carefully chose who she invited. Unfortunately though Simon wasn't able to make it.''
The pair famously fell out when Simon dropped the singer as judge on 'The X Factor' USA, replacing her with Nicole Scherzinger, and Cheryl subsequently refused to rejoin the British version of the show.
The Girls Aloud beauty isn't the only star to have been angered by Simon of late, since it has also been reported new 'X Factor' USA mentor Kelly Rowland has been offended by his behaviour.
An insider told the Daily Star newspaper: ''He snapped at her when she made a joke about him being late and she didn't appreciate that at all.''
The TV tycoon allegedly drinks up to 20 cups of coffee a day, which is said to be making him ever ''nastier'' than usual.
The source added: ''He guzzles it like water and all that caffeine is making him more hyper and nastier than ever.''

Audiences watching "The Talk" might not know that panelist Aisha Tyler began performing stand-up comedy two decades ago.
Tyler, whom some will remember as the host of "Talk Soup" in between Greg Kinnear and Joel McHale, spent the month of August perfecting her new material (she will record a comedy special next month) while she took time off to write a script and a book.
She also tapes a popular podcast and is a gamer who can't wait until "Halo 4" is released later this year.
With so much on her plate, it's not surprising she's never performed in Utah before. "I have never done stand-up in Utah, in front of people drinking fermented water," Tyler said in a phone interview. But don't expect behind-the-scenes details from "The Talk" or other run-ins with celebrities. "Who gives a crap about celebrities?" she said. Her conversational, personal style shows the influences of her inspirations, such as George Carlin, Dave Chappelle and Marc Maron. "The most important thing is honesty," she said. There's one thing she is also sure about, now that the Olympics are over. "Synchronized diving serves no purpose."

Perfect for internal speaker enclosure dampening, this wadding provides the perfect solution to eliminating problematic low frequency internal resonance. Made from 2/3 sheeps wool and 1/3 polyester fiber, this material is a must for any speaker building or upgrade project. Package contains two sheets, approximate dimensions: 25" (H) x 13" (W) x 1 3/8" (D).
This stuff really flies under the radar. Many sources say that real sheep wool is one of the best damping materials for speaker cabinets. To make it easier to work with and probably reduce costs they blend it with a synthetic. Really easy to work with - no itchy fiberglass. Can be put in as loose fill or stapled to the cabinet walls. I've used spray contact adhesive to hold it in place as well, but lately I'm trying to save the few remaining brain cells and just use a staple gun.
The only complaint would be the cost, and the fact that the packages are pretty small - wish they would sell it in bulk. I've used tons of this stuff over the years and highly recommend it for speaker cabinet filler. Does a good job of damping resonances and surface reflections.

Happy Labour Day all. The winner of a copy of Creative Machine Embroidery magazine, September/October 2014 issue is Kathy Pendleton Harrison. Thank you all for your kind comments!
Happy Labour Day all. The winner of a copy of Creative Machine Embroidery magazine, September/October 2014 issue is Kathy Pendleton Harrison. Thank you all for your kind comments!
While I was out walking yesterday around the neighborhood, it struck me how the feeling of Fall was in the air. The weather was lovely; warm and sunny, but there was just the "feeling" of an imminent change of seasons. There was something so familiar and comfortable about the afternoon – like I'd experienced that day so many times in the past. Perhaps a nostalgic reminder of being a child and anxiously anticipating the first day of school? I think Fall is just the best time of the year.
When I returned home, there was a delightful surprise in the mailbox. My quilt, after having been photographed and my pattern published, had been returned to me by Creative Machine Embroidery magazine. Autumnal Applique is currently being featured on pages 34-39 in the September/October 2014 issue of the magazine.
When designing this quilt, I wanted to use unexpected fabrics to depict Fall. Although reds, oranges and yellows make a beautiful Fall colour palette, I had had quite enough of that colour scheme. Instead, I visualized using batiks, especially pinks, browns and limey greens.
Once the fabrics were chosen, I had to find just the right embroidery designs to use for the machine applique. I came across two designers on the etsy.com website; Tracy Dickfos and Karen Gober. Their designs are both charming and whimsical, which of course had me totally captivated. I especially loved both of their tree embroidery designs!
Tracy Dickfos
Tracy is a lovely, young Australian designer. She happened upon the art of digitizing in a round-about way. Her formal education was as a fashion designer….who happened to take some classes in digitizing. After graduation, Tracy received a Janome embroidery machine and set about purchasing and accummulating "a whole bunch" of online embroidery designs. She was disappointed with the quality and brevity of the designs she found online, so dug in her heels and began to design her own images. Tracy feels her greatest attribute is that her brain combines a love of science with plumes of creativity – allowing her to make beautiful, structurally solid, delightful embroidery designs.
Like many of us, Tracy works from her home. She loves to sit and look out the window in her home studio dreaming about her next creation.
Karen Gober
Karen is a young mother; an American, who resides in the state of Georgia with her family. She comically says, "everything in the South is monogrammed" so she began embroidering pieces for her children and for her nieces and nephews. As time passed, Karen, with the help of her IT husband, virtually taught herself how to digitize and create her own designs. What began as a hobby, quickly grew to a business enterprise. Karen started to sell her designs on etsy.com in 2009. Check them out! You will love her work.
Thanks so very much to both Tracy and Karen for their collaboration on my autumn quilt.
Take the time to leave me a comment on my blog or on my facebook post. If your comment is chosen, I will send you a copy of Creative Machine Embroidery magazine!

Good day everyone. Here is Part two of my Stolen Quilts article, as featured in the February/March 2014 edition of Quilter Magazine .
An art quilt is a themed, one-of-a-kind creative expression in fabric. The very fact that an art quilt is distinctive and individualistic in nature, can spawn an enticing target for a quilt thief. When a quilter's work is stolen, their world stops turning. Panic, anxiety, and heartbreak can stop them in their tracks. It is one thing to be victimized by a stranger who does not necessarily know what they are stealing – like in a smash and grab robbery or when a delivery shipment goes awry – but something quite different when the thief knows exactly what they are stealing. Exquisite, stunning "show" quilts, stolen during exhibitions are targeted for theft; and the thief could very likely be a fellow quilter, a notion so repugnant as to be beyond belief. Let's face it, to most of us, hearing the words "quilter" and "thief" used together is true paradox.
Trust is implied when an artist displays their artwork in public. Show exhibitors must be relied on to protect a quilter's life work as well as their own integrity. Despite best intentions, however, some creative quilters have been victimized while showcasing their work in public. Imagine the feelings of violation and despair when a quilter's fibre art renderings – beautiful art quilts – find their way out of an exhibition hall in the hands of a thief.
Anne Morrell Robinson of Kingross Quilts & Fibre Arts
Set in the breathtakingly beautiful hills of the Margaree Valley in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia is Anne Robinson's charming quilt studio.
Peace and quiet and inspiration surround Anne while she works creating lovely, themed show pieces like her appliqué quilt, Birds of Color.
In 2002, Anne chose to enter her art quilt into the New York State Fair, a hustling, bustling Fair catering to thousands of visitors; a world apart from Cape Breton.
Displayed behind a 3′ picket fence, Fair organizers hung large quilts like Birds of Color (108″x108″) from ceiling rods, for all visitors to see but not touch. As the Fair was about to be closed for the evening, unbelievably, a thief managed to not only get behind the fence, but to also remove Anne's quilt from the rod and escape without detection. Seemingly, an unbelievable feat in a public forum! Security officers noticed the missing fibre art as they were locking doors for the evening.
Anne invested two years in making Birds of Color come to life, a heart and soul project that disappeared in the blink of an eye. While local area radio and TV stations conducted some post-theft interviews with Anne, the publicity was to no avail; her quilt is still missing. State Fair organizers, while sympathetic to Anne's plight, were not liable for the theft and therefore did not compensate her for her loss. Birds of Color was appraised for thousands of dollars, but due to a glitch in Anne's insurance coverage, she was unable to collect on her policy. In true quilter's "bounce back" style, however, Anne has just recently remade her quilt using a similar theme… she calls the new piece Colorful Birds of the World. It is truly magnificient.
John Sauls, Antique Quilts Dealer (email@example.com)
John Sauls is a veteran antiques dealer with a special fondness of vintage quilts. A present day Texan, he exhibits his quilts around the United States at major shows and festivals. It was at the Houston Quilt Festival (a public exhibition) in 2010 that John's antique compass quilt
was brazenly stolen from his exhibition booth. At a particularly busy time, two women approached John's booth simultaneously….he responded to one of the women; his employee responded to the other. John's customer asked him a few inane questions and then both women left the booth individually. John then went to check on a specific quilt for another customer, and it became immediately apparent to him that the antique compass quilt, the most expensive in the hanging group, was missing.
In hindsight, he is certain that the two women served as a distraction while a third person removed the antique quilt from its hanger in his booth.
Despite his attendance at many major shows, John is quick to point out that this type of theft has never happened to him in the past. He praises the organizers of the Houston Quilt Festival and blames himself for constructing what he refers to as a "blind spot" in his booth. John says, "Quilt Festival is without a doubt one of the most professional, top notch quilt organizations in the Country".
Nancy O'Bryant Puentes is Executive Vice-President of Quilts, Inc., the producer of Houston Quilt Festival. Nancy warrants that, despite accommodating 60,000 visitors each year, Quilt Festival sustains only a miniscule amount of loss due to theft. Her 24-hour security staff consist of current or former police officers and they are visible throughout the exhibition; installed both inside and outside the building, at each entrance and at loading docks. Plain clothes officers circulate undetected throughout the crowd; an omnipresent deterrent to theft.
Beverly Fawcett (firstname.lastname@example.com)
Like so many exhibitors, Bev Fawcett never contemplated quilt theft. That is until 2012, when her Beatle's-inspired, whimsical art quilt went missing from the Lakewood Quilt Show.
When My Mind Goes Wandering
was likely stolen during the first few hours of the exhibition, when someone unpinned and removed the small gem (25"x23") from a curtain backdrop. Now, Bev admits she is "a teensy bit apprehensive about showing any quilt in public" and asks more security-related questions of show organizers.
Similar to Anne Robinson's experience, there was interest in Bev's stolen quilt from local TV stations and newspapers. As is typical, a police report was filed, posters of the quilt were dispersed in the neighborhood, and ebay was scoured by family members. But, Bev also took action in a way that was not typical. At subsequent exhibitions, (believe it or not!) she wore a photo of her stolen art quilt around her neck! Feeling the pain of Bev's loss, fellow quilters wrapped her in layers of sympathy, but unfortunately, no quilt sighting.
Eric J. Woehr, an investigator with the Ontario County Sheriff's Office in New York State, has delved into art quilt theft in the past. When asked his opinion of the markets available to a quilt thief, he says, "the only avenues I'm aware of …..would be flea markets, art shows or the internet." As part of his after-theft investigation protocol, Eric sends out a photo and press release of the stolen quilt to local media outlets and also accesses the services offered by Artloss.com, the World's largest database of stolen art and LeadsOnline.com, a website dedicated to recovering stolen property.
Quilters: perform your due diligence before showcasing your work in public. Query exhibit organizers on their security procedures and read, read, and read again, the show's application forms and rules and regulations. Ensure there will be a direct sight line to your quilt; obscured vision is a thief's delight! Pay particular attention to your intuition. If a show's visitor demonstrates peculiar behaviour towards you or your work, take heed. Heighten your antennae rather than reigning them in. Your work is your work….it is beautiful and valuable and belongs to you. Take every step possible to ensure a thief doesn't walk away with a piece of your life.
Everyone – please keep an eye out for the stolen quilts!
Till later…
For about as long as I can remember, I have had the same recurring dream. To be concise, it's actually more like a snippet of a dream. In my mind's eye, there is a tiny cottage tucked away in what appears to be someone else's spacious backyard. The land is grassy, surrounded by brush and some very tall trees.
When I walk through the door of the cottage, there are gauzy curtains blowing in the slight breeze. The sun's light is diffused as it streams through the small windows. The floor is wooden and looks very old and worn, but beautiful at the same time. The back wall of the tiny space is lined with white wooden bookcases overflowing with craft books. There are several tables; one holds a sewing machine, one is a desk with an odd, antiquated fax machine and the other is a drafting table – the perfect height for standing and cutting fabric.
In my dream, I'm never in the space for very long – just for a moment or two and then I wake up. Exploring the cottage at length is merely left to my feelings and my imagination.
I believe the sweet little cottage represents my dream sewing studio. I feel at peace when I'm inside the tiny space….and I experience such an overwhelming feeling of the potential for creativity.
For the time being, I'm content sewing and writing in my basement studio at home. It's warm, cozy and fully equipped with everything that I need. I'm extremely grateful for my work space. But, I admit that I eagerly await the day that I find my dream studio – a place that will be entirely my own and dedicated to quilting and sewing and writing and creating. It will be so very lovely; a dream come true.
Till later…..Kim
Good Monday morning to you. Here in Calgary it's the usual, snowy, wintery weather. There are virtually NO signs of Spring – and I mean none!
This past weekend, I was overyjoyed to travel to Invermere, B.C. – a three hour drive from our home. As we travelled, it was apparent that the temperature was rising as we drove. Woo hoo! It was so lovely and warm and Spring-like in Invermere this weekend – people were actually on the golf course and walking around in shirt sleeves. 7 degrees Celsius is pretty nice when you are used to a miserable and nasty -10, without the wind chill.
On Saturday, I walked and visited my favourite shops. The town was deserted and quiet and so very nice. I went into a bookstore that I usually visit when in town – Dave's Book Bar - and browsed to my heart's content. Of particular interest is all the quilting magazines the shop stocks. Much to my surprise, I came across the most recent issue of Generation Q magazine!
How delightful! I can't find this quilting magazine in big-City Calgary at Chapters or Indigo, but I find it in a small and out-of-the-way place in a very small town. I read it from cover to cover and loved it.
Several years ago, I had the pleasure of working with Melissa Maher of Quilter's Home magazine, who together with Jake Finch started Generation Q magazine. Melissa and Jake have worked very hard at their new project and it shows in their work.
If you can find a copy, pick it up!
Till later…take care
Speculating on the profile of a quilt thief is like trying to catch lightning in a bottle. Fleshing out human traits and characteristics can prove fruitless – after all, who would steal a quilt? It seems so unlikely as to be unfathomable. The facts are, however, some quilters and fibre artists have suffered devastating losses at the hands of elusive, faceless, and nameless quilt thieves, who often peddle their stolen wares for a mere fraction of their intrinsic value.
A few quilters have had their life's work taken from them in the blink of an eye; their future path and livelihood altered in an instant. Karen Combs and Meryl Ann Butler are two such women who have faced tremendous adversity and have "chosen" to bounce back with an amazing spirit and resiliency.
Karen Combs is a travelling quilt teacher who had her quilts stolen from the trunk of her parked and locked car in March of 2012. Karen was staying at a reputable hotel in New Braunsfel, Texas when her vehicle was vandalized sometime during the night before she was scheduled to teach her class. According to police, thieves smashed the windows of her car, popped the trunk and took everything that was in her vehicle including a suitcase containing her quilts and class supplies. The theft was random in nature, and although several suspects were charged, Karen has not recovered any of her prized and treasured work.
Karen's educated opinion is that the "smash and grab" thieves may have tried to pawn her quilts, hawk them to flea market vendors or merely tossed them in the landfill! A heartbreaking notion and inconceivable violation.
The most remarkable part of Karen's story is her unfaltering resilience. Not only did she teach her class later that very morning she discovered the theft, but she re-made all the quilts for her Patchwork Illusions class within the next several weeks! Working night and day mind you, but she did it. Karen says, "While sewing, I resisted the temptation to become so angry and so sad that I could not focus on my work. The way I looked at it, I had two choices – fall apart and let the theft destroy me or move forward and remake the quilts".
Meryl Ann Butler is a creative force. She is a teacher, quilter, fibre artist and author (90-Minute Quilts and More 90-Minute Quilts) whose joyful outpouring is an inspiration to her many students. On August 8, 2001, Meryl Ann suffered a car prowling and theft while she was attending classes at the Art Academy of Los Angeles in Sherman Oaks, California. Like Karen Combs, thieves broke into Meryl Ann's parked vehicle and removed suitcases containing almost all of her textile and quilting projects – basically her life's work.
A "show and tell" with classmates had prompted Meryl Ann to pack and transport her treasured work to class that day. She purposefully parked her car in the secluded, shady portion of the parking lot. Once class was concluded, she placed her quilts and wearable art back into the trunk of her car. The theft occurred later that same afternoon while she was running an errand with a friend. She feels it's entirely possible that she was targeted for the theft; she couldn't shake the feeling that she was being watched. Meryl Ann disregarded her intuition as silly. What a shame! Despite a police report, thorough searches of surrounding dumpsters, and posting signs of the theft, none of Meryl Ann's fibre art has been recovered…….yet. In keeping with her indomitable spirit and taking into account the unique quality of her work, Meryl Ann remains optimistic that some day her pieces may be recovered.
While Karen Combs and Meryl Ann Butler were victims of car prowlers and thieves, Sally Schneider and Denise Hamilton were victimized in an entirely different manner. Sally Schneider loves creating scrap quilts. She is a designer and author of many quilt-related books, including Scrap Quilts Fit for a Queen. In the making of that publication, Sally shipped three of her quilt projects via FedEx ground from her home in Albuquerque, New Mexico to her publisher in Washington State. Disturbingly, only two of her three quilts made the entire journey! Farmer's Daughter was removed from the shipping bin prior to its ultimate arrival in Washington. "Sally Schneider Quilts" was listed as the return address on the shipping documents, unwittingly alerting thieves to the bins' contents. Although Sally has re-made Farmer's Daughter, she placates herself for the loss of her work by contemplating the sweet notion that her quilt was stolen by a single mother who desperately needed to keep her children warm on chilly evenings.
In May of 2013 in Tampa, Florida, FedEx delivered a package to Denise's front door. The package contained a quilt pieced together by Denise Hamilton and quilted by a friend that lived in Arkansas. The longarm quilter was returning Denise's work to her via ground delivery. Unfortunately, the FedEx delivery person left the package at Denise's front door when no one was at home. All Denise found was the remnants of her delivery in the form of a FedEx door tag verifying that her quilt had indeed been delivered. Denise offered a small reward, reported the theft to both FedEx and to the police and posted signs all around her neighborhood. She has not recovered her quilt.
Countless renditions circulate on how few dollars a thief will actually realize by selling a stolen quilt. Handmade, craftily pieced, amazingly beautiful quilts have been stolen by thieves and sold to unsuspecting vendors for the staggering low, low price of $50.00 or less!
Maria Elkins is the creator of the website, www.lostquilt.com. In her role as Webmaster, she has heard and recorded countless stories of stolen quilts, and has played a huge role in bringing some quilts home to their rightful owners. Despite her expertise and experiences, even she struggles to define the motivations behind quilt theft.
Sadly, there are no sure-fire ways to prevent a theft from happening. Be open to the possibility that your work could be stolen, and that "yes, it could happen to you!" Some precautions worth considering:
· Write on the back of your quilt with a sharpie over part of the hand or machine quilting. This is an infinitely better method of signing your work than is affixing a label…a label can be snipped off with ease.
· When shipping or receiving a quilt, refrain from using the word "quilt" on the shipping documentation. Instead, use innocuous terms like "textile", "yard good" or perhaps "wall hanging".
· Be sure someone is home when a quilt is due to be delivered. Request FedEx or UPS not to leave the package without first receiving a signature. Don't leave your precious quilt at the front door of an unoccupied residence –it may just find itself a brand new home!
· Pay attention to your intuition; it may be your greatest protection.
· When storing your quilts in the car, park your vehicle in a very well-lit, well-populated sector of a parking lot and limit the time period your quilts are left unattended in the vehicle.

Last weekend, we had the privilege of attending an extraordinary wedding in Banff, Alberta. The wedding was held entirely at the spectacular Banff Springs Hotel….a true winter wonderland. This was the view from our lovely, renovated hotel room.
What a treat it was to spend two nights in the splendour that is Banff! Although the temperature was super cold, we were able to be outside and walk awhile. It was exhilarating to navigate the icy path leading back to the hotel; sheltered by the tall evergreens from the bone-chilling winds. The walk was a highlight of our weekend away from Calgary.
The wedding itself was like a tiny slice of perfection – everyone looked so beautiful and peaceful and relaxed in the resplendent surroundings. I'm thinking I cannot wait to go back there!

A special welcome to all our new subscribers. Thanks ever so much for taking the time to register on our site.
Sometimes, the best part of having quilts in our homes is decorating with them. It's so much fun; quilts bring life and breath to an otherwise unadorned corner. Flannels and children's fabrics have always been my favorite medium in which to work.
To change the look of a quilt, roll it up, tie it up and secure some ribbon.
Rag quilts are so fabulous….just add a little machine embroidery and you will love the results.

Good day from the Great White North! My City of Calgary, Alberta, Canada has been experiencing record snowfalls of late – just a crazy amount of snow.
Snow is soft and twinkles and covers all things in a blanket of freshness. It is beautiful….and makes for an excellent reason to remain indoors and sew, embroider and quilt!
I love working with Quilter's Newsletter…this is the second time I've participated in a blog tour. My pillow – Fans & Flowers is featured on page 74 of Best Modern Quilts, and as always, has been beautifully photographed by the magazine. My favorite part of the pillow is definitely the square fans.
Thank you so much for stopping by on the blog tour. I'd love to hear where you live. Leave me a comment and maybe even a photo of your City. I would love to read all the comments and I will answer each and every one of them. Leaving me a comment also means you have an opportunity to win a great prize from Quilter's Newsletter Best Modern Quilts magazine.
Till later…take good care of yourself.
Good day to you all. I hope you're having a lovely Christmas Eve.
As many of you know, I have been searching for a vintage Mary Engelbreit pattern, called Playtime Pals for more years than I can remember. After my last post, I did a search on ebay (as I have done countless times in the past) for the elusive pattern. A match to my search was made instantly, and voila I now have an early Christmas present!
I couldn't believe it….32 years old and the pattern is in remarkable condition. Work on it will commence as soon as time allows.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to everyone. Take good care of yourself.
Till later…

Video to Make Your Hands Sweaty
Why do methamphetamine when you can just click "play."
As you walk down the fairway of life you must stop and smell the roses, for you only get to play one round.
He slept on the floor because he had made his bed and wanted to remain in control of one part of life.
I was not made in a lab.
I was made in a factory!
I was not made in a bed.
I was made like a bed!
I thought that I had forgotten to ask, but it turns out I had forgotten the answer.
He had not given up on the ambitions of modernism.

The wrong time of day to make your aggressive joke about the basement office.
"Make me look artificial."
"I want to look like a doll."

my abdomen, here, here, and here?

Unhappy instrument!

WOW. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords posted pictures on Facebook today. These were the first to be publicly released since Jared Lee Loughner attempted to assassinate her in January of 2011. His attack killed six and wounded dozens. Giffords, after taking bullets to the neck and head (through the eye), looks terrific. I'm sure she had the best medical care a congresswoman who happens to be married to an astronaut can get. But still, her recovery is remarkable. I imagine if she does decide to keep running for office … she will never lose another election. I could even see her making a run for the Democratic presidential nomination if she wanted to.
Words can't describe her recovery. Holy cow.
Truly inspirational.

I was just wondering if Vid Embed allows the option to add a playlist of videos? So if I embeded a few flv links would it create a playlist of all the videos? It would also be great if it supported audio as well (with playlist support), but then you would have to name it Media Embed. I have searched for a wordpress plugin that is simple to use without having to create an XML file and so far I haven't come across a decent solution. I'm sure many others can use a tool that can do this.
Check out the plugin that Cincopa makes.... I know you guys can produce a better one. I don't want to pay monthly fees and have them host my content.

Hi Jair,
VidEmbed currently does not have that functionality. Perhaps the JW player is a good alternative,

Its being done a week later than usual, because of weather and snow still on the ground in a lot of places.
Bags can be picked up at the midnight sun council boy scouts office at 14 hundred gillam way.
They are also available at local fire departments.
Those collecting trash should leave the bags beside the road for pickup, or take them to the landfill.

You do not have to have a big contractor come in and build you a great pond. In fact you can do this all on your own. Really, the only thing that you need to make a great pond is the right directions and the time to put the pond together. Once you do this, you will be well on your way to making your own pond. You need to the right tools to dig your pond and then everything it takes to put the pond in place. You can find most of what you need in a home improvement store. They will have the best choices possible for all that you need to start your pond on the right track so that you can begin enjoying it all the time. It will not take long to make your new pond. Start off with a good design and picking out all the materials from there is easy.

Feedback: Mom Versus the Photographer
It's one thing to straighten an out-of-place hair, another to manhandle your kid's entire do.
Why does the general rule that adults are not supposed to touch other people's children somehow not apply to school photographers? Our readers speak out:
I don't blame the author for being upset. For one thing -- touching my child in such a personal way!? Point 2: um, how many heads of hair did that hairbrush touch? Hello, children can spread lice by hugging; I cringe at the thought of a "community" hairbrush. My younger daughter, now 9, was born with a head full of crazy-curly hair. As an older baby, toddler, preschooler, she had a mix of tight ringlet curls and wacky curls that would stick up in odd directions as though she had just finished a flight around the world like Super-girl. I would carefully brush it down before photos, but BOINK, her curls had a life of their own. Her hair is down to her waist now, so she mostly has slight waves with a few tiny curls around her face. She loves for me to put her hair in the "flex" rollers at bedtime. Bottom line for me, I suppose, is Hey! Keep your hands off my child's head unless I ask for your help. -- tennmom
I can VERY MUCH relate to this! My 6-year-old son has the most AWESOME blonde curls ... however he has grown to HATE his hair, due to all the little old ladies in the grocery stores that INSIST on touching them, and then TELLING him that he has hair that ANY LITTLE GIRL would love to have! WHY do people think it's OK to do that??? -- muddin mom of 2
I agree that strangers should not be touching kids. My son is a redhead with amazing bright hair ... people are constantly "petting" him. I will be standing in a supermarket line and people will comment and then start stroking his hair. I didn't like it, but kinda got it when he was a baby -- but he is now almost four. This is not okay. I do not touch other people's hair, and strangers should not touch my son's. Once in Las Vegas, a lady actually asked me if she could rub his head for luck since she was going to the casino later that night. It seems most popular with 50-year-old women, although I have had it happen from men and women, young and old. Are people still going to be touching my baby when he is 16? If they are not touching him, they are asking me if I dye it. -- Kat
That's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard. They needed to brush her entire head because "some" hair was covering her eye. NO WAY should they have physically altered her hair, dress, shoelace, or fingers for a photo. A simple "Honey, could you brush the hair off your face" is quite sufficient. At what point should her teacher have stepped in and protected her students from this stranger also? Good for you for speaking up, hopefully it was nice and loud. -- Melinda
I really wish they would have brushed and washed my child's face before her picture. Instead they didn't, so my child looks like a hot mess because they only did the pictures after recess. Great. -- Pamala
OK, before you get all nuts, I think I need to state a photographer's opinion. Let me state that brushing the girl's hair was not right, however, for all of you that are going crazy about the photographer touching the child, that's just ridiculous. Photographers often have to help pose children (and adults!), and if needed, will smooth a stray hair, fix a tie, or help pull a wrinkle out of a shirt. If we didn't, people wouldn't buy the pictures, or we'd have to spend hours in Photoshop fixing the images (watching our money fly out the window). This does not mean the photographer is trying to touch the child inappropriately or anything like that -- just trying to get good pictures for you! -- Photographer assistant
This story reminds me of my 3rd grade school picture. I always had very thick, wavy hair and my mom would put in those awful pink hard rollers in my hair to make it really curly. She did this the night before my school picture, and as always, I hated the way it looked. I stole my mom's cold cream and some bobby pins and took them to school with me. Right before I got my picture taken, I went into the bathroom and applied a very thick layer of cold cream on my hair and then put the bobby pins in to completely flatten it, and that's how my 3rd grade picture turned out. My mom freaked when she saw the pictures, and all I could tell her was that the photographer did it! Now at 42, I have told her the truth years ago, and every time we come across that picture again, we just laugh about it. You should relax a little, it's only a picture. -- been there
Ok! From a teacher's standpoint who has done this drill once a year for many years - Chill Out! I understand parents getting angry about their children's looks being altered, but upset that your child was touched in getting ready for a photo is ridiculous. Do you have any idea how many parents send their kids to school with bedhead and rumply clothes because they forgot photo day?!? Teachers and photographers tend to have to fix kids hair a little and most parents appreciate it. Especially if picture time is after recess or on a rainy day. BTW, there are hundreds of combs available and we throw away everyone after it has been used ONCE.

> Services
> Physical Therapy
At Osceola Community Hospital Wellness and Rehab Center the Physical Therapy Department provides patient care in functional training for work-related issues, home activities, and recreational or sports interests.
The Physical Therapist will perform an evaluation of your problem or difficulty. This includes taking a history of a problem and then evaluating your problem by performing tests and measures to assess the problem. These tests include muscle strength tests, joint motion tests, sensory and neurological tests, coordination tests, balance tests, observation, palpation, flexibility tests, postural screening, movement analysis, and special tests designed for a particular problem. From this point the Physical Therapist will then develop a treatment plan with goals and then administer the appropriate treatment to aid in recovery of a problem or dysfunction.
Furthermore, the Physical Therapist will introduce treatments which include patient education to teach you how deal with a current problem and how to prevent this problem from recurring in the future. In addition the Physical Therapist provides "hands on techniques" like massage or joint mobilization skills to restore joint motion or increase soft tissue flexibility. Also, the Physical Therapist assists in postural reeducation and movement awareness. With the aid of therapeutic exercises instructions this will help restore strength, movement, balance, or coordination as a guide towards full functional recovery. Physical therapy treatment often involves the use of modalities which include properties of heat, cold, air, light, water, electricity, ultrasound, and traction. These modalities are used to help decrease pain and increase movement and function.
The Physical Therapist teaches basic mobility skills such as learning to move and get out of bed, transferring to a chair, walking with crutches or special devices on stairs or varied terrain. They can also assist one in meeting special equipment needs such as wheelchairs or other adaptive equipment to improve function and independence. It is the intent of physical therapy to progress them to a more independent level and to prevent injuries from occurring in the future.
At Osceola Community Hospital Wellness and Rehab Center the Physical Therapy Department works with the medical staff, nursing, the occupational therapist, and other departments to provide total patient care.

Grab a beer. Take a seat. Listen up. Every conservative understands how liberals feel. Many conservatives were liberals at one point ("if you're not a liberal when you're young, you have no heart," and all that). Unfortunately, too few liberals (or moderates/independents… really just too few people) have any awareness of the vast literature of conservative philosophy that exists, and they continue to profess liberal ideas while often living conservative lives. We get that not everyone is going to read Thomas Sowell one day and wake up transformed into radical rightwinger the next.
We also understand that not everyone has the time to take on Hayek or Toqueville and grapple with their ideas. So here are the CliffsNotes™, utilized to head off liberal bias wherever it tries to intrude into reality. Our goal at BiasBreakdown is to point out where news articles and the talking heads of the punditocracy fail to recognize the Pillars of Conservatism and other concepts that define the Conservative mindset, thereby demonstrating the proper relationship between the citizens and their government.

Movie News
SATURDAY SHORTS are locked and loaded. Let's rock.
Hello ladies and gentlemen, Muldoon here with a mix of some pretty neat shorts. Below, for your viewing pleasures, we have three horror/thriller films followed up by three comedies. It's kind of like the Black and Tan of screenings. So while the rest of the internet bloggosphere is chirping about THE AVENGERS, PROMETHEUS, and HUNGER GAMES, let's take a sec to give these fresh filmmakers a go with today's slew of fun films. I hope you can sit back, relax, grab some popcorn, and enjoy this week's installment. I think they're all great (That goes for any short I've had the honor of screening here), so you might too. However, if for some reason a short doesn't fancy your tastes, I swear it's not a giant conspiracy to trap your attention and waste three/five/twenty minutes of your life, so keep that in mind as you run to the Talkbacks to voice your unfiltered opinions as each one of these shorts was made by you/us - fellow Ain't It Cool Readers. On that note, we've gotten some incredibly well spoken Talkbacks the last few weeks and I can't help but assume the filmmakers appreciate your feedback.
That's enough chit chat fun, let's get this screening underway, eh?
Up first we have Darian Faroy's NIGHT FABLES, a quality short that takes a page out of old school filmmaking - toying with an audience's imagination. "In this live-action storybook, we follow Christopher's tale of confrontation with the creatures of the dark. Read this one with the lights off."
Night Fables from BES Films on Vimeo.
Here we have director Patrick Rea's interesting swan dive into the sadistic world of girl scout cookies. (You read that right.) "A horror comedy about a man being terrorized by persistent Girl Scouts selling delicious cookies. Score by Harry Manfredini. Screened as such festivals as The New York City Horror Film Festival and Shriekfest." The film's got a gorgeous 80's vibe that makes me want to go hit up GREMLINS or THE 'BURBS for some reason.
Get Off My Porch from Patrick Rea on Vimeo.
I debated on holding off with this next one until a few weeks from now, but screw it - I can't help but screen it now. Again, this next one is from director Patrick Rea, though is tonally incredibly different than GET OFF MY PORCH. This one feels like a TWILIGHT ZONE episode with a dash of SIN CITY. I'm curious to see what else this guy has up his sleeve. "In the 1940s, a woman pursued through the city must elude shadowy figures who have claimed the souls of her friends and loved ones."
Time's Up, Eve! from Patrick Rea on Vimeo.
Since I did feature two shorts from the same director, I think it's A-okay to screen one more horror/drama short before we take the leap into funnyville. This next gem comes from Danish director Martin Vrede Nielsen and his brother, Michael. It's nine minutes of pure atmosphere in the best possible way. "In a small house in the middle of nowhere an elderly couple are having severe communication issues."
Till Death Us Do Part from Martin Vrede on Vimeo.
Whether you are a Potter fan or not, up next is 60 seconds of unadulterated wizard fun from Alex Mangall and friends. You don't have to get all the references to enjoy this little bit. Hopefully this short is the slice of ginger for your cinematic pallet after checking out the films above.
Mathew Graham brings us BILLY. "Billy does not know what he wants to be. His parents sure do. Like all parents, they want Billy to follow in their footsteps. He quickly discovers that he is meant for other things . Will he follow his dream or respect the wishes of his parents?"
Billy from Matthew Graham on Vimeo.
Up next is an odd tale of a clown... a unique clown. Writer/Director Bradley Jackson brings us THE MAN WHO NEVER CRIED. "Ralph Winston has never cried; not when he was a baby, not when his heart was crushed by his high school sweetheart, not even when he first saw Steven Spielberg's E.T. So when his father dies, Ralph - age 32 - decides to embark upon a true emotional journey with hopes to shed his first tear before the funeral - and before it's not too late."
Check out the film's "director's cut" here or the company website here.
The Man Who Never Cried (Shortened Version) from Bradley Jackson on Vimeo.
Welp ladies and gentlemen, that's it - the last screening of the day, but what's that? You want to keep this shorts watching extravaganza going? Awesome. Here's list of previous columns:
If you have a short and think it belongs here or are on the fence about whether to send it in – I'd love to check it out.
Shoot me an email at "firstname.lastname@example.com"
In the subject line include:
"SHORTS" + "Your film's name" + "The film's genre"
Then, in the body of the email, please include a synopsis of the film and any contact information you might think I need or would want published.
Please don't feel the need to submit multiple times. I swear to each of you I truly check every email I get, and sending the same short a few times just makes it a bit messier.
Remember, the filmmakers might still be in the audience, so feel free to share your thoughts in Talkbacks. I'm curious myself, what did you guys and gals think?

SATURDAY SHORTS —aka— GENRE GAMUT!
by justmyluck
NIGHT FABLES Creepy tale unfortunately undercut by the low budget. Sound mix needs work regarding the loud and fluctuating room tones. Also wondering about that dark circular vignette on the moving fabric in the *grown-up* segment. I think this short has a good idea which could definitely be developed further. Never knew they made EARTHWORM JIM toys. GET OFF MY PORCH THE STUFF meets Joe Dante. If you can believe it, there was *another* evil Girl Scout short posted here last year from the ABCs of death called T IS FOR TEMPTATION. Liked the scope aspect ratio of this, but I was expecting it to be less rigid, with more Dutch angles or stylized lighting to impart the Joe Dante approach (which this short seemed influenced by). Helped along by music and sound embellishments, like the *wah-wah* voice of the wife on the phone. Very well directed, hitting the right mannerisms with the kids. TIME'S UP, EVE! Mickey Spillane meets the BODY SNATCHERS. Nailed the noir look — looks great. Drop the exposition on *the dealer* and leave that open - we get it later. Wise use of practical effects to sustain the period feel. Strong blend of sound effects and music. Some may think this is a tale of addiction like SIN CITY, but it's not. PORCH/EVE — As a director's double feature: pro-looking genre variations on loss of identity. TILL DEATH DO US PART Like the selective focus and gold/green color grade (Fincher). The clip of Browning's FREAKS and the husband's primal scream pulled me out of this at the midpoint. Sometimes silence says so much, and I would have left it like that until the end. This was pretty great. HARRY POTTER IN 60 SECONDS The roast chicken with a balloon head was a damn fine ERASERHEAD moment — can never have enough of those. BILLY Assured and funny flip on a child's coming out crisis, which needed more restraint to be poignant. The well-cast characterizations read quickly, like a commercial — not a bad quality for this, maybe. THE MAN WHO NEVER CRIED The bowl of Reece's Pieces near the kids watching E.T. informs this one's a sentimental journey. Would have definitely been more touching by dropping the expository documentary framework entirely, and leaving the rest to the natural acting and loose camerawork. Acting, blocking, cinematography, editing, sound are absolutely tops. Lose the jarring rock song on the credits. (FYI, there is a notorious — and mostly unseen — Jerry Lewis movie called THE DAY THE CLOWN CRIED : http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0068451 ) - - - - - - - Overall feeling this week = very impressed!!

CHICAGO - NOVEMBER 14: Jay Cutler #6 of the Chicago Bears runs for a first down as Ray Edwards #91 and Madieu Williams #20 of the Minnesota Vikings give chase at Soldier Field on November 14, 2010 in Chicago, Illinois. (Photo by Jonathan Daniel/Getty Images)
Though temperatures have dropped, the NFC North heats up this week as the 3-5 Vikings hit Soldier Field to take on the 5-3 Bears. Both teams have a beleaguered quarterback, defensive stars who haven't gotten as many sacks as expected, and coaches who are finding their seats to be warm.
The Bears defense will face a hard test in the Vikings Adrian Peterson, the league's second best running back. He loves playing at Soldier Field, and averages 122.2 yards against the Bears.
Jay Cutler and the Bears offense have their own questions to answer. Will the Bears O-line perform as well against the Vikings as they did against the Bears?

Albany - Are you hungry? Now you can take your appetite to Albany's newest eatery.
Quiznos Subs opened Monday on Westover Blvd. in northwest Albany, right across from Home Depot.
Chamber of Commerce ambassadors and dozens of other people were on hand for the grand opening.
Quiznos offers everything from oven-toasted subs to soups and salads.
Owner Todd Stone says Quizno's is the fastest growing restaurant concept in the world and South Georgians are in for a big treat.
"Anybody who's ever had a Quizno's sub loves it, and they're excited about it being here, and people who haven't had one have seen so many commercials on TV that they can't wait to try one," says Stone.
This is the first Quiznos in South Georgia.

Water Trails at Blackwater
Blackwater Refuge currently has three water trails: the Purple, Orange, and Green Trails. These trails were named "Recommended Water Trails for 2006" by the American Canoe Association.
Paddlers will find markers on the water that will help them navigate, but due to the sometimes maze-like appearance of the marsh, it's important that paddlers pick up a Paddling Map before heading out. Please remember that the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service staff at the Refuge is not equipped for rescues, and cell phones often do not work around the Refuge. Paddlers are advised to not exit their boats on the marsh as the waters are shallow and the mud is not suitable for walking.
In a canoe or kayak, visiters can explore tidal marshes and brackish ponds for a closer look at the Refuge's resident and visiting wildlife including bald eagles and ospreys. From October through November, as many as 50,000 geese, ducks, and tundra swans stop at Blackwater Refuge during their migration along the Atlantic Flyway. Up to 20 species of ducks and 250 species of other birds may also be seen here, along with 165 species of threatened or endangered plants. The endangered Delmarva fox squirrel and other species make their home in the large stands of loblolly pine and hardwoods.
The Blackwater River is a major feature of the Refuge and the surrounding area. It begins where Parsons and Corsey Creeks meet in northwestern Dorchester County, Maryland, then flows southeast to Fishing Bay, which opens into the Chesapeake Bay. The Blackwater got its name because tannic acid from decaying leaves on the forest floor darkens the water which drains from thousands of acres into the river whenever it rains.
Among the Blackwater's tributaries, the largest is the Little Blackwater. It flows 12 twisting miles from its headwaters in Cambridge, Maryland to join the Blackwater, which runs 17 more miles to Fishing Bay. The freshwater flow from this and other tributaries, such as Coles Creek, produces different ranges of salinity that determine the type of wetland plants paddlers will see along the trails.
Trail Features
Below is general information about the three water trails. Please visit the Friends of Blackwater Paddling page to read more about the trails and to find rental and guide information. Also read the paddling safety tips.
The Orange and Purple Trails generally have the highest overall salinity and the lowest diversity of plant species. Big cordgrass and saltmarsh cordgrass thrive here. In late July and August, marsh hibiscus is covered in white and pink blooms.
On the Green Trail, the marsh ranges from slightly brackish to fresh water. During summer, fragrant waterlily covers much of the water and narrow-leaved cattail grows at the water's edge.
Purple Trail
Purple Trail Spur
Please note: The Purple Trail is closed to paddlers October 1 through March 31 each year. The closure is critical to avoid interfering with migratory waterfowl on the Refuge.
Orange Trail
Green Trail
Please note: The Green Trail is a scenic trail and is a good trail for beginners. However, during fall and winter, waterfowl hunters are active on private property near the Green Trail. If you want more information about hunting season, call the Refuge Visitor Center at 410-228-2677 for exact hunting dates.

Natural Resources of Bugasong, Antique, Philippines
- Protect the environment
It is sad but true that as of the year 2012 the rivers of the Philippines continue to be the #1 Sewer Systems of the Philippines.
Protect & Save the Rivers. Do not let your sewer drain into the river. Your community can be the first to initiate this project.
Build your riverbank protection with a built-in gutter system. Reforest within Ten Years - Guaranteed!
Let us plant more trees in every barangay in the entire Philippines. It does not make any difference if the barangay is urban, partially urban or rural; we need more trees. Trees will prevent erosion, provide oxygen, prevent green house effect, and even a place of business for the shade tree mechanic.
The Philippines is a tropical country and practically anything will grow. The DENR has the planting trees project that goes on every year. Lots of picture taking for the media. Planting trees one by one is the "human" way of doing it. This individual planting of trees is good if done to "line" the roads and highways with trees or along fences or property divisions, or if you have a plantation.
To reforest the nation of the Philippines we have to plant trees the "mother nature" way. Sow the seeds during the rainy season. Go deep into "bald" forests and plant trees by sowing seeds. If there's not enough volunteers to do this, use the military helicopters to fly over the designated areas and sow the seeds.
Guaranteed within a few years, The Philippines will be lush again. >>Read More
We are using our rivers as our sewer system. If you ask a Filipino, "Are the Filipinos a clean people?" The answer is an automatic, "Yes!". However, the Filipinos are suffering from the same disease or attitude as most people do, and that is the "NIMBY" disease or "NIMBY" attitude. (NIMBY) Not In My Back Yard. So it is OK to dump my garbage and sewer there. Not mine! Someone else will take care of it.
This attitude is killing our rivers. Your great-grandparents, grandparents or parents were once proud to tell the stories of how they enjoyed swimming in the river behind your house or nearby. However, you can't say the same or tell the same stories to your kids or grand kids. Why? Because your generation is killing the river.

The mother of the 3-year-old girl dressed as a prostitute on "Toddlers and Tiaras" tells TMZ, she's a good mom -- and insists "no harm was done to my child" by dressing her as a hooker.
Wendy Dickey tells us, her kid had no idea what she was dressed as anyway -- and the costume was "less revealing than gymnastics wear and swimsuits."
According to Wendy, the hooker outfit (below left) -- based on Julia Roberts' character from "Pretty Woman" -- "is a lot less harmful."
Wendy says she dressed her daughter as the "classy" Julia Roberts from the end of the movie as well (below right) -- but TLC edited that part out.
Wendy says, "I'm raising my child just as well as any mother does ... I take my kid to church every week ... at least I'm not forcing them into sports and getting my child injured like some parents."
Wendy adds, "People need to look at their own family and what they're doing. I don't know why people are focusing so much on pageant moms when there's much more harmful things people are letting their children do!"
Dear pageant mom; we are focusing on your parenting skill (or lack thereof) because of the little person you are raising and one day are going to release on society with her warped value system, body image issues, eating disorders and everything else that you're bestowing on her. Going to church doesn't help if you aren't walking the walk, and I doubt that any church finds your child's costume to be appropriate, tasteful or beneficial to her future self-worth.
She can defend herself all she wants; she is wrong. That is way out of line and absolutely not necessary for a little girl. I consider it child abuse. That show is disgusting and should be taken off the air. And anyone who participates in this nonsense needs their head examined.
I am not sure who is sicker, the parents who pimp out their kids in adult clothing and whorish makeup or the sick people who actually want to see it. If the pageants were set up to focus on children dressing like children and banned makeup maybe i would understand people just wanting to show off or see cute children. But a child has no business dressing in adult clothing and wearing any makeup. And people have no business wanting to see children dressed that way.
I don't even know what to say...I never got the whole kid pageant thing. Not even a little bit. I just don't get it at all and think it is totally sick and creepy. The hooker outfit takes to a whole new level. Really messed up.
while we're on the topic too... is it just me, or are all of these mothers fat slobs who are yearning to be young and beautiful again? Because all I hear from them is, "this is the biggest win of MY life", "All the work I put into this", "I had the greatest time". A lot of "I, Me and Myself" and little on "my child". And notice how the kids are kicking and screaming and throwing tantrums and look scared enough to barf, yet the parents always say "I'm doing this because they love it." or you have the parents who hold so much stock in their child's beauty that they let their kid get away with everything including letting the child hit them and order the parents around. Can we say future highschool mean girl who is going to turn into the next Lindsay Lohan when she realizes she won't get anywhere in the real world as a 'former' child pageant star. Nooooooooo there's nothing harmful about these pageants at all.
This is disgusting!!! This mom needs help! please CPS contact her.
Ummm...yeah...it is so much better to dress your 3 year old up as a hooker than it is to get her involved in sports where she would learn the value of working together with a team. Since she takes her to church that must make it ok to dress her up like a prostitute to be paraded around and judged. I guess she would see nothing wrong with dressing her up like a whore to go to church. If her kid had no idea what she was dressed up as, why even do it? That is so sick. I believe if they visited some of these girls when they are teenagers, most of them would have serious self esteem issues stemming from their mothers dressing them up with fake hair, tans, and teeth. Their mothers might as well just tell their daughters that they are not pretty enough and they are not good enough as they are.
I wonder if she takes her daughter to church dressed as a prostitute? she's as bad as the pageant Mom who gave her daughter botox...horrible!
The forced and phony smile on that child's face in those photos makes my heart sink - feeling completely ill at ease.
It's disgusting to introduce and train a 3 year old child into such guileful deception. She's being treated like circus animal, forced to perform for the entertainment of adults.
LMFAO she sounds like even more of a dumb bitch when she is trying to defend herself!!!
This is absolutely disgusting! Kid will see these pictures eventually (lord help her when she's a teenager) How is mother to explain this to a 16 year old!
Please..... I guess this mother got the attention she wanted for her daughter.Something is wrong here when a mother dresses her daughter like that and wants all this media attention.This mother is a idiot!!!
Okay, enough is freaking enough! That show needs cancelled...stat!
Look at that fame-whoring, crazed "mother" with HER tiara on?! OMG, the child needs to be removed while the "mother" is forced to take parenting classes and psychotherapy!
This show is every pedophile's dream! [puking]
Hello clueless Mother, do you have any idea the number of pedophiles in this world? Why you would want to sexualize such a young child is beyond comprehension. I hope these mistakes you are making don't come home to roost for the sake of your daughter. Perverts are EVERYWHERE. AND a child in a bathing suit versus a child in a hooker's outfit are two VERY different things - WAKE UP.
Listen to her...."BABY HOOKER OUTFIT" is harmless. Baby and Hooker should not be in the same paragraph let alone side by side. How can she claims she goes to church yet dress her child as a prostitute, put her on a national TV show AND think it's ok? She is a moron. She's living through her child and exploiting her. Where is the father?
Child Protective Services should pay her a visit.

Much to change, much to talk about: CSA
The MCSAC meetings early this week in Alexandria, Va., came on the heels of FMCSA's announcements of a suite of changes to the CSA program last week Friday (find my story on those here). MCSAC's task Monday relative to CSA was to share areas of concern, things about the program that needed addressing as soon as possible. The top three concerns will be taken up by the first meeting of the newly established CSA Subcommittee (tentative for mid-October), and I've detailed them (including problems associated with the DataQs process for disputing violations) in this story.
Driver rating
Among other topics of discussion, Rob Abbott of ATA urged study of whether making the Driver Safety Measurement System, which I've written about here and here (among other places), a publicly available tool "would ultimately improve safety," as he put it, also asking FMCSA Associate Administrator for Enforcement Bill Quade, "Are you considering a Driver Safety Rating irrespective of the SMS rankings?"
Not a lot of news here, but given that this sort of system ranks individual drivers against each other with a numbered look and feel somewhat similar to today's public CSA SMS for carriers, I think it's important to note what Quade said in response: "If we had all the resources in the world we would go down this path. [The universe of drivers is] a big group…, and we have our hands full with our current portfolio."
As I'd written previously — and which Quade also mentioned — however, FMCSA has already to some extent pursued expanded authority to "go down this path" of public driver rating, particularly prior to the most recent highway bill. Congress, ultimately, didn't take up the challenge.
Crash fault
A way to account for crash fault in the points system was high in the minds particularly of the trucking representatives among MCSAC committee members, though given FMCSA has a scheduled yearlong effort aimed at researching potential solutions to the problem current under way it was somewhat muted in the overall discussion.
Acknowledging the situation as it is today, noted OOIDA's Todd Spencer, "One instance we have with one of our members" involves an accident that was not the trucker's fault and "involved seven fatalities — other people ran into him." Under CSA, whether the crash was his fault or not, it figures into the crash weighting as a fatality event.
As Quade acknowledged, "as you discuss things, keep in mind what is feasible in the real world today, not ideal places." While he praised movement toward the ideal, today in the Motor Carrier Management and Information System that contains the data on which CSA is based "I don't know what crashes are at fault — we don't know it in any systematic way."
Noted Henry Jasny of Advocates for Highway and Auto Safety, "And it's hard to get to unless you have a full NTSB investigation."
Said Spencer, echoing Rob Abbott of the ATA in other comments on determining whether CSA's goal of reducing crashes is really being furthered by the system, "If the mission of CSA is to actually identify and address which are the players in trucking that are likely to cause crashes, I think it obscures that. We have to start by who now is having at-fault crashes and work back through that. If the bottom line is anything other than focusing on those crashes where truckers themselves or motor coach operators actually have caused crashes, the mission can never be accomplished."
Other issues raised:
CSA misinformation: "The general perception of CSA throughout most of the driver community is a lot of misunderstandings," said Spencer. FMCSA has "done considerable things with the radio stations and such, and you reach a lot of people, but probably nowhere near a majority…. Is CSA reaching the right stakeholders now?"
Educating brokers, shippers: "Send a letter to every shipper and emphasize it," said Clark Freight Lines' Danny Schnautz. "That might be sort of an impossible task, but [with brokers and some shippers, CSA rankings are] used as the holy grail — the message isn't getting through that's it's just an indicator."
Credit for screenings: If a carrier's truck is looked over by an officer informally and let go, or if a Wireless Roadside Inspection gives a truck a pass, "how much credit should [the carrier] get?" asked Bill Dofflemeyer of the Maryland State Police. "They should get some credit toward a CSA score — not like a Level 1 or Level 2 inspection, but some credit."
