Weekend Randomness and a Giveaway
We went to the Brewers game on Sunday, and THIS was my lunch. It's a "barbecue parfait." Layers of pulled pork, beef brisket, and mashed potatoes, garnished with barbecue sauce and chives. Yes, it was every bit as awesome as it looks. No, I couldn't finish it. McLurky polished it off for me. But I'll still need to go to the gym at least 15 times this week to make up for it.
And speaking of McLurks, just look at what my awesome goofball husband did. Yes, that is the scoreboard at Miller Park, and yes, it says "wonky & freshly pieced hexi blocks rule!" I love that it didn't occur to him to put something like, "Happy birthday to my beautiful wife." (My birthday was Friday.) Nope, not my husband. LOL. (Sorry about the cruddy iphone photo taken through the ball screen.)
Since I had such a fun weekend, let's kick Monday off right—I'm giving away some Aurifil thread! Have you used this stuff? I've only used Guterman's up until now—mostly because it's available at Joanne's. I mean, it's just thread, right? But having used Aurifil for a few weeks now, I get why people love this stuff. I've had no thread breakage or tangling with Aurifil thread, and I actually think less lint has accumulated in my machine since I started using it. Everything just seems to run more smoothly. And Aurifil is easier to get ahold of than I expected—I found a shop just 15 minutes away that carries it. Not much further than Joanne's, after all. Aurifil is also available on Amazon.
So, would you like to try some 100% Egyptian cotton thread? I've got trial packs with all four of Aurifil's thread weights, plus a spool of their wool thread, to give away. Just tell me what message YOU would put on the scoreboard at a major sporting event. What do you want the world to know? How much you love Aurifil thread? That your kid got an A on his math test? The awesome thing you had for lunch today? (But whatever it was, it won't beat the pulled pork parfait. Sorry.)
I'll randomly choose four winners on Thursday, Sept. 15. For more information about Aurifil and their thread weights, click here. Good luck!

Hi. I am a new convert to Aurifil after seeing some of the buzz about it on the web. I must admit I love it - I have only used it for piecing at the moment but want to add to my thread stash with some of the other weights - would love some to try. As for the message on the scorboard? I guess it would be something to do with my family - maybe showing off my adorable niece who is nearly 2! Thanks CReplyDelete
I want to try aurilif yarn. Very nice colors! The football wall writing: Edit Happy name day!ReplyDelete
I've recently tried Aurifil thread for the first time and I love. Thanks for the chance of winning some more. I'd write on the scoreboard:ReplyDelete
wow, I have to have a bbq parfait (drool)!!! I would probably put "banana" up on a scoreboard 'cause my 13 month old just started saying it and it's hilarious :) I definitely want to try out some Aurifil!ReplyDelete
Ooh something neew to try. There's no chance of me finding this in the Czech Republic!ReplyDelete
My message would be "Don't worry, be happy"
Wow!! That parfait looks drool-worthy! I want one!! My sign message would be...Joe and Kiki forever!!ReplyDelete
LOVE Aurifil! My message would be: It's never too late to explore creativity!ReplyDelete
I would just HAVE TO put a pic of my grandson up there - ha! Thanks for the chance!ReplyDelete
"57 days 'til retirement!"ReplyDelete
Aurifil is not yet available in my area, maybe that's what I'd put on the score board!ReplyDelete
I have been sewing since I could hold a needle, "just a few years ago, ha" and I am just now learning what a difference the thread makes. The billboard "what is, is and what ain't, ain't"ReplyDelete
I've been looking for this in my area as well, but have yet to find it. Maybe, it's not offered... LOL! That doesn't mean I'm not looking! Thanks for the giveaway! Maybe, I can stop looking and try it out now!ReplyDelete
I would seriously put, "My kids are awesome!" because #1, they are, and #2, that is what they walk around telling me all the time. LOL I've been seeing all the talk about this thread and hope to try it out soon wether or not I or not.ReplyDelete
I'd probably say "I'd rather be quilting!" I'd love to try Aurifil for the first time. Thanks for the chance!ReplyDelete
Nice lunch Lee...mmmmmmmmmmm. On the sign; I would put a big pic of my hubby and tell the world " he is the best" might sneak a pic of my boys and grandsons in there too...lolReplyDelete
That scoreboard post is awesome!! Way to go McLurky!ReplyDelete
Haven't tried Aurifil yet so this would be great! If hubby put something on the sign, I would want it to say: "We're going to Europe!"ReplyDelete
"Yes I'm reading my Kindle at the ballgame" It's a family joke....my parents use to force me to go to the local minor league games here. I always took a book a read through the game. Thanks for a chance to win!ReplyDelete
What a great birthday! Mine's this saturday :-)ReplyDelete
would love to try the Aurifil thread also!!
Oh, I've been dying to try some of that Aurifil thread, so thanks for the chance to win! I'm not as creative as your husband when it comes to ballpark scoreboards so I'd probably post something incredibly boring!ReplyDelete
Well this morning I would want the world to know "I woke up on the wrong side of the bed. Anything I touch may crumble to pieces." Ha! But on any other day it might go something like this "Go CUBBIES!" Thanks!ReplyDelete
I've never used Aurifill thread and I'd love to try it, thanks for the chance!ReplyDelete
"Go team!" Yes, I know. boring. But, I am not a huge sports fan. In fact, I've been known to cheer for BOTH teams playing! LOL. :-)ReplyDelete
Thank you for a chance to win some Aurifil thread. :-)
"A needle pulling thread is the best sport around." thanks for the chance to win and Happy Birthday.ReplyDelete
Stick 'whatever happened to the summer' on the board and that would sum up the lack of good weather we got!ReplyDelete
It's hard to get past the pork parfait, although on Cupcake Wars a girl put mashed potatoes on top of a southern challenge it didn't sound as good. On the board, I would probably put my usual "Woot Woot"ReplyDelete
Hello Lee,ReplyDelete
I haven't tried this thread yet,usually use what you use to use. I can't believe the food you have in America, I would probably put "Go Aussie" on the board. Samantha Stosur has just won the Americian Tennis Open so would promote her too.
Happy days.
I'd put a shout-out to my wonderful husband of 2 months! thanks for the giveaway - i've been dying to try aurifilReplyDelete
16 Muddy feet are good for the soul.ReplyDelete
Love your husband's message. I would write "someone buy me one of those barbeque parfaits."ReplyDelete
Would love to try Aurifil threads ... as for the scoreboard I think I'd say "Will and Lilah hold my heart" for my sweet grandbabies.ReplyDelete
I think the board would say 'Stitching rules!ReplyDelete
Wow, I've never used that thread at all. I'd be so happy to win!ReplyDelete
I'd say, "Keep Family First!" So many people let other things get in the way of their family time together and I would remind them to remember their families!
I have been using Guterman's, mostly, in the hopes that it would reduce the lint in my machine. I would love to try the Aurifil thread. Beautiful Colors. I would probably put, "Que tal, perro?"ReplyDelete
Great giveaway!ReplyDelete
I'd put 'Come on England' ( in the rugby World Cup!)
My lunch was leftover cake... hard to top that in my book ;) I would put a movie reference in there.. who doesn't love a reference to a classic feel good movie, right?ReplyDelete
I haven't used aurifil but would LOVE to give it a try. Thanks for the chance!
Gosh, I wish my ballpark had that parfait for sale! My billboard would say "Married to the best husband for XXX years!" Thanks for the giveaway. I'd love to try the Aurifil. Kathie L in AllentownReplyDelete
I love Aurifil...but have only tried the 50 wt..would love to sample the other wts..ReplyDelete
I would love to put "i am proud of my kids" on the billboard...
Well, seeing as my kid plays football...and I can appreciate baseball, but I am truly not in to it...I would probably put "Suz Made Me Do It" Suz is the reason I quilt (She finally MADE me try it...LOL...amongst other things...LOL). Would love to try that thread. Thanks for the opportunity!ReplyDelete
I would post "I'd rather be sewing". Would like to try the Aurifil Thread, especially the wool thread.ReplyDelete
I would love to try some of this thread! I'd put "Luckiest Mom in the World" on the billboard.ReplyDelete
My message would be "Thank you God for my family". Thanks for the giveaway!ReplyDelete
Well, if I won this great giveaway I might have to put up something like "Freshly Pieced is almost as awesome as a BBQ Parfait" LOLReplyDelete
So you can really tell a difference using the Aurifil instead of Guterman? I'd love to try it out and see. I'm sure my billboard message would be something corny but true like "Thank you God for my life!"ReplyDelete
I piece and quilt exclusively with Aurifil, except when I use a friends long arm. She's got her own thread for that thing. I'd say "hello" to my daughter in heaven if I had a chance to put something on a billboard.ReplyDelete
I've been seeing this thread all over blogland and am dying to try some! I think right now a scoreboard would have to say "no more rain!" since our area flooded last week and there is still rain in the forecast. sounds like you had a great birthday :)ReplyDelete
How cool is your husband! I would put "Just Breathe!!!". Thanks for a chance to win.ReplyDelete
Happy Birthday Lee! You certainly celebrated in style! I also just started using Aurifil after receiving a spool of it for my birthday! Not readily available here and too expensive to order, so once this is done I'll probably have to go back to Gutermann.ReplyDelete
Mt billboard would say Retired To Quilt.
Thanks for the giveaway!
Ohhhh those look so lovely!! I would probably put up "I wish this was a football game."ReplyDelete
And that parfait? It looks amazing. Woah.
Your husband rocks! I would probably put the same cheesy message about how much I love my hubby. :) I am a pretty standard person. Thanks for the chance to win this! I have been wanting to try Aurifil too! Go Cards!! (Although I doubt they will even make playoffs this year so I will have to root for my Packers instead!)ReplyDelete
i would definitely have it say "Go Packers" - while at the Brewer game. =)ReplyDelete
Ok, that pork thing looks - umm, AMERICAN. I guess you'd have to taste it to believe it...ReplyDelete
I'm dying to try Aurifil - as far as I know it hasn't made it to Australia yet, but i have no idea what I'd put on a scoreboard. Maybe "Are we there yet?"
Hi! I would put something like, "I love you" and them my kids' names and husband's name!ReplyDelete
Looks like great thread!
Your husband is brilliant! Can I copy him? I'm so uncreative when it comes to things like titles and billboards. so I'd have to be boring but simple: Quilt More!ReplyDelete
I am itching , and I mean going NUTS, to try this thread! So want a no lint quilt top!! :) Thanks!ReplyDelete
ooooooo, aurfil.....drool! I have never tried it and would love to win!ReplyDelete
"All Moms Rock!" That's what I would put on the scoreboard!
Aurafil would be great to try. I just got some isacord' too. I see thread wars in my future! As for a message board, that's hard to decide. "family always comes first" comes to mind and it is my motto. "Be nice" also seems fitting sometimes.ReplyDelete
I would love to try some Aurifil thread.ReplyDelete
I think I would write..."Keep Calm and Quilt On"
hmmmmm- Ive never tried Aurfil. Well, my husband is a Huge Red Sox fan, so on their billboard it would probably be something about my hubby being in heaven watchin' the Sox ;)ReplyDelete
The parfait looks unbelievable!! I would love to try some Aurifil.ReplyDelete
I would write "Happy 21st Julia!"
Amazing parfait; I hadn't heard of anyhing like that. As for the billboard message...something silly I suppose, like "Put eat chocolate on your to do list and you will always accomplish something". Thanks for the chance to try some Aurifil thread.ReplyDelete
My sewing machine loves this thread! Hum, I think that I would most likey put something corny like "I love you both, Dave and Abby, very much."ReplyDelete
I'd love to try aurifil thread! I keep hearing about it...will have to try to find some unless I'm lucky enough to win some...hint, hint.ReplyDelete
Billboard: You're the best! (That way, everyone will feel better!)
First of all, that pulled pork parfait looks INCREDIBLE! I'm going to have to show it to my barbecue-loving hubby.ReplyDelete
As to what I'd put on the scoreboard, I'd probably say something like, "Be kind."
I'd write "Thank a soldier today!"ReplyDelete
Thanks for the chance to win. I'd really like to try out this thread.
Id go with: Go Cubs! Or. don't buy a pet, rescue one! :)ReplyDelete
Thanks for the opportunity! I've heard so much about this thread but haven't had the good fortune to try it.
Aurifil is awesome! On that scoreboard - I'd probably have to write "Go Phillies!" being a Philly fan. :)ReplyDelete
LEE!!!! I was mostly trying to ignore that game....(ahem GO Phils!!!)BUT that parfait looks absolutely AMAZING!!! I'm going to have to go to a game JUST to get my hands on one!!!ReplyDelete
Would they even put "GO Phils" on the score board?? ; )
WHy it would have to be "Congratulations, Amy and Kyle!" - my daughter is getting married in less than 5 weeks!ReplyDelete
That lunch looks divine!! At first I thought it was a parfait with ice cream!ReplyDelete
If I had a chance to put something on a billboard at a baseball game it would definitely have to be "World Peace"!
I'm also a Guterman girl--would be interested to try this, but I've never seen it in real life!ReplyDelete
My message would be something old (stereotypical) and true like "love conquers all." Or something like that. Never too much of the stuff, IMHO. ^_^ReplyDelete
Happy birthday for Friday! I love your message! How about 'How can it be autumn, we haven't had summer yet!"...thanks for the giveaway!ReplyDelete
I haven't tried Auriful threads but would like to. I temd to buy what is local...Coats and Clarks...I think they are local for the world! :) Anyway, this would be a great chance to give it a try.ReplyDelete
My signage: "If the Son shall make you free, then you shall be free indeed."

I'd love to try this thread! As for the message, I just woke up, so there is no inspiration here. Thanks for the chance. (soniaquilts at gmail dot com)ReplyDelete
Your pork parfait has given me a fun idea to try with dinner sometime.ReplyDelete
my message this week would have to say something like, 'My love for you (my husband) can't be measured in yards or stitches. Happy 7th anniversary!'
I would love to try this thread! Looks like you had an awesome birthday! My scoreboard message would read "Did we win yet?" (inside joke with the hubby ;)ReplyDelete
Would love to try aurafil. i would probably say, "just keep sewing, just keep sewing..." in Dory's voice from Finding Nemo.ReplyDelete
I have yet to try aurifil, but I keep hearing about it and how wonderful it is. I was like you, JoAnns doesn't carry it and other shops are too far away. Didn't even think to check on Amazon.ReplyDelete
My billboard would say. "Mark and Leah, 15 years and counting!"
Would love to try this thread!! My message you be "I love Ry and Sis!!!" Thanks for the giveaway!!ReplyDelete
Never heard of Aurifil thread. Would love to try. On the billboard: Impatient Cajun loves her SweetpeaReplyDelete
The BBQ parfait is a brilliant idea! I think for my baseball scoreboard message I'd put something like "Monkey loves her Panda," since those are the nicknames my hubby and I have for each other. (awwwwwww). ;)ReplyDelete
Since our KC Royals stink again this year my message would be "Is it football season yet?"ReplyDelete
Thanks for the chance.
Pulled Pork Parfait....it's what's for dinner!ReplyDelete
That is one item on the menu for dinner this week to be sure! Maybe served with corn on the cob!
thanks for the giveaway. for the scoreboard, i think i'd put up as many "s"s as would fit. my daughter recently figured out that's the first letter of her name and is slightly obsessed with finding the letter on different things.ReplyDelete
I would have them write "My husband made me come to this game", unless it's hockey, then I would write, "I love this game!".ReplyDelete
Thanks for the giveaway. I'll have to check out their website. Have never used it before but I know different quality of cotton threads can have more or less lint than others. From the sounds of your comment, this is a good one. :)ReplyDelete
- firstname.lastname@example.com 12, 2011 at 10:42 AM
I love new thread!ReplyDelete
I LOVE aurifil! Until about a month ago, only one store about 30 min away carried only neutral colors. Now there's a store an hour away that has it. Thanks! Not sure what I'd put on a scoreboard... probably a simple "Happy birthday ____!ReplyDelete
I'd have them write on the scoreboard, "Son, get your finger out of your nose". He's had a little obsession lately. Thanks for the giveaway. I've really wanted to try Aurifil.ReplyDelete
Let's see, since Aurifil is so great and I have fallen in love with it, maybe I would put up something about it! Aurifil Rocks! definitely has a nice ring to it, don't you think? ;)ReplyDelete
Your hubby and my hubby would get along great...or cause too much trouble. My hubby did pretty much the same thing. So I'd put like happy birthday to myself or happy birthday, anniversary and merry Christmas to you, honey! I'm done for the year! LolReplyDelete
pick me, pick me! :)ReplyDelete
Sweet gift from your hubs... I'm lucky if I get a card! Though he has gone and slept on the floor with my son the last three nights in a row because for some reason, Mr. Steiger doesn't want to sleep... full moon?
Don't enter me in the giveaway, but I just had to comment on that amazing "parfait." When we lived in Wisconsin we used to have Brewer's season tickets--I've never been so cold so many times at a baseball game! But the weather looked nice for you then. Happy Birthday!! And I love that your husband put your passion up on the baseball scoreboard. What a guy.ReplyDelete
Elizabeth E.
I would put "I love my Sweetie" on the sign. He would know it was from me to him.ReplyDelete
Thanks for the opportunity to win the Aurifil...I love Aurifil thread! And, for the board..."Quilting Rocks!"ReplyDelete
Hey, I'll try some new threads. Never even heard of these, but then again I don't necessarily consider myself a quilter,...yet.ReplyDelete
reklimes (at) usfamily (dot) net
Well, I've never tried Aurifil, and I've definitely been curious about it lately, would love to try it! As for a scoreboard, I would probably write something to to my little guy, like "Mommy loves Ryan" or something equally dorky and embarrassing :)ReplyDelete
I have used the aurifil thread for hand applique and just love it. I haven't tried the machine weight yet but everyone seems to love that too. That pork parfait looked so great. I never saw anything like that before. I would put on the billboard, Happy Autumn.ReplyDelete
I'd love to win the thread! More thread is always a good thing- especially good thread (which I've recently been converted to).ReplyDelete
I'd put on the scoreboard- 1, 2, 3 Sew!
la.emperatriz at gmail.com
Your parfait looks yummy...gonna have to try that for a fun football night at home!ReplyDelete
hmmm on the score board I would put....hug your kids today...
I'd love to try some Aurifil thread. I hear so much about it but have never seen any in captivity.ReplyDelete
On a billboard I would write, "Kevin. Love You Forever. Heather. And there would be two huge photos of us ... one when we were married and one of us now ... 27 years later.
Hmm.... I think my scoreboard message would be "I'd rather be sewing." Haha. Not much of a sports fan, can you tell? :PReplyDelete
I'm semi tired of waiting for my BF to propose so I might just propose to him on a scoreboard!ReplyDelete
Oh, what a lovely giveaway. I've only pieced and quilted one quilt so far and the second one is in the works. Up to now I've only used Guterman's threads and would love the opportunity to try a different one.ReplyDelete
My dream note for a scoreboard is "Good Doc, you're gonna be a daddy!" Directed to my husband. Unlikely to ever happen but it's good to dream.
I have been wanting to try this thread. I also have only used Guttermans. I would put on the sign "my husband rocks- he bought an antique chair for just me - a reading/stitching chair!" yeah!ReplyDelete
I'm converting my kids to delicious foods: tomato, avocado, basil, cheddar or pepper jack, cream cheese sandwich. DON'T forget the basil.ReplyDelete
I would put on the sign "Mommy loves Noah and Benjamin!" I would love to try some new thread.ReplyDelete
Would love to try the Aurifil thread... the scoreboard message would probably be "the gnomes are in the house" - my kids have knicknamed me "the gnome" due to my short stature.ReplyDelete
Lovely giveaway. I've been toying with the idea of purchasing some Aurifil thread to try. I too have been using what's found easiest at my local fabric store.ReplyDelete
I've never used Aurifil I'd love to try it. I would post "Shimmy More" on the billboard...but I'm a bellydancer, so I'm biased.ReplyDelete
The BBQ parfait sounds super delish - I'm surprised KFC doesn't already have that on the menu :) I would have the Wrigley Field sign say "This World Series win is dedicated to Gina, our #1 fan!" for my mom who loves the Cubs, even though they stink! Thanks for the chance to win!ReplyDelete
I would love to write: "I love to quilt!!" on the sign. I would also love to try Aurifil. : )ReplyDelete
kellyeann (at) mac (dot) com
Absolutely hilarious post! I feel utterly uncreative with this scoreboard message question, so maybe I actually will have to declare my love for Aurifil! Thanks!ReplyDelete
I would lOVEEE to win this! Thanks for the chance!ReplyDelete
What an awesome parfait! I had to send the link to my hubbie :)ReplyDelete
I would put on the board "We miss you Daddy!" - he is in Romania for 2 more weeks with work - thanks for the chance!
I would put "If you are reading this, I am home alone and sewing - don't hurry back!" xxReplyDelete
Wow! that parfait looks amazing & hooray for your secret code scoreboard message.ReplyDelete
My message would quote the show 'Psych' and read: "are you a fan of delicious flavor?" :)
I actually had the chance to put something on a scoreboard when my husband was deployed to Iraq for the 2nd year out of 3 years and the baseball club returned my check and would not let me pay the usual fee. That was awesome!!ReplyDelete
Wow! That was so cute and creative of your husband. What a sweetie! I've never heard of a parfait like that before. And I have no idea what I'd write! Something like I love my 3 sons or something mushy like that.ReplyDelete
Mine would say, "I'm just here for the food."ReplyDelete
That parfait looks so, so good. I don't know what I'd write. Probably something cheesy like "My heart belongs to Jeremy!"ReplyDelete
Hmmm...uhh...wow. I have no idea what I would put on a sign thousands and thousands of people would read. The pressure! I think it would read, "I like turtles." Because I would panic, just like that kid ;) Thanks for the chance to win! I keep reading about this thread and seeing giveaways, I'll have to check it out.ReplyDelete
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! I'm eating a yummy Red Velvet cupcake just for you... I would LOVE to try out some Aurifil thread!! Thanks for the opportunity...ReplyDelete
ps.. my husband doesn't know it yet, but he's going to by trying one of those parfaits tonight (left over BBQ from the weekend!!)
I'm thinking I would be cheesy and classic and tell my husband I love him with an inside joke somehow involved:) Thanks for the giveaway! I LOVE aurofil!ReplyDelete
Hmmm...my mind is blank. Maybe I'd put, "I'd rather be home quilting!" Would love to try this thread.ReplyDelete
I would probably do some sort of I love you message for my husband, b/c he does deserve to be acknowledged on such a grand scale like that!ReplyDelete
Thanks for the giveaway. I've heard so much about Aurifil thread but haven't tried it yet.
I would tell my son that I love him. He is the greatest kid in the world & everyone should know. LOLReplyDelete
I keep hearing about how great this thread is and I'd love to try some.ReplyDelete
I would say "YAY that the US open is OVER and my dear hubs (who has been there working for a MONTH can come home!!" Thanks for the great give away and happy belated birthday :-)ReplyDelete
- AnonymousSeptember 12, 2011 at 5:58 PM
I would post an inside joke for whoever I was with at the game. Would love to try this thread!ReplyDelete
Thank you.
That parfait looks like fun. I would love some aurofil. Sorry, but I would put on the board,"I would rather be quilting!"ReplyDelete
Today it would be great to yell at the top of my lungs on my way out the door today at 2:30 "I'M NOT REALLY SICK! I JUST DON'T WANT TO BE HERE TODAY HAHAHAHA SUCKAHS!"ReplyDelete
That parfait looks like heaven in a glass to me. I'm alllll about the savoury. Aurifil definitely produces less lint than Gutermann - my machine loves it. (Don't enter me in the giveaway, though - I've got my own coming up!).ReplyDelete
That barbacue looks like an ice-cream.ReplyDelete
I`d say I love play with fabrics!!
I never use Aurofil thread and I`d love some.
Your husband is funny! My husband wouldn't know a wonky block if it slapped him in the face. If I had to write something I'd also say "I'd rather be quilting" ... like some others :-)ReplyDelete
I JUST discovered Aurofil a few months ago and I use it for piecing as I only have creme so far... would love some colors! I need to find a LQS that carries it. Got mine from some online fabric shop! Any happy birthday!!!!
I'd put something like 'Handmade is best' or 'Kiss the person next to you.'ReplyDelete
I'd love to try the thread!
I would put "For Frodo!" because I'm a huge Lord of the Rings fan and other people who are like-minded would also love it :)ReplyDelete
- AnonymousSeptember 12, 2011 at 7:09 PM
"Do an act of random kindness for our troops today" Thanks for the great chance to win some wonderful thread. email@example.com
hmmmm........."Big Mickie Rocks!" (DH) He just cooked me another great meal!ReplyDelete
On a game jumbotron, I would say, "Will work for fabric!" I'm a freelance writer/editor/proofreader, and think a situation where I could be "paid" in fabric would be awesome. Thanks for this super giveaway. I've been an Aurifil fan for at least eight years.ReplyDelete
At first your picture looked like a Peanut Buster Parfait on steroids, but pulled pork is so much more awesome!! YUM! My baseball billboard would say: I'd rather be watching college football. HA! Thanks for the give-away! Have always wanted to try that thread!ReplyDelete
As I have so many WIP's I would have "Finally - we have a finish!". Would love to try some Aurifil thread. Thanks for the chanceReplyDelete
Thanks for sharing your experience with this thread..I gotta get some!ReplyDelete
OMG that sign is HILARIOUS!!! What a great husband. :) And that BBQ in a cup looks delish.ReplyDelete
LOL! How about "Lee is great!" I'd love to try out the different aurifil threads. Thanks for counting me in.ReplyDelete
Hahahhaaa... I'd put my favorite quote "Don't compromise yourself, its the only thing you've got." - Janis Joplin I've been dying to try Aurifil. Hope I win!!!ReplyDelete
Thanks for the chance to win some Aurifil - I've been wanting to try some! Your hubby is hilarious...I wish mine would put something on a billboard for me. If I put a message up on a sign today I'd say "Happy Birthday to ME!" (b/c it's my bday today). Happy Belated to you!ReplyDelete
Have read so much about it but haven't tried it -- would love to win some Aurifil!ReplyDelete
As to the board -- "After the game, let's go to Grandma's house"!
Your husband is so sweet and your mashed potato parfit looks good! I would say GO AURIFIL!ReplyDelete
Oh, I would LOVE to try Aurifil thread, and a bbq parfait - uh, not together. gggReplyDelete
I think I would say, " I love that man of mine!"
Thanks for a great blog, and a chance to win this great thread.
I want the world to know that I graduated from UW - Milwaukee! And I already LOVE Aurifil thread!ReplyDelete
Thanks for the great giveaway!
I tend to say "Live it up" a lot. That sounds good for a scoreboard.ReplyDelete
i would love to try aurfil, like you i mostly buy Guterman's from JAF at 40% off!ReplyDelete
your scoreboard is most awesome! let's see...i would put up something like...Hug your child.
I just quilted a quilt with Aurifil and there was no breakage and hardly any lint in the machine...love it. My scoreboard saying would be "Vacations are awesome but it is so good to get back home!"ReplyDelete
It was my first anniversary with my hubby yesterday so I would probably put "One year and still tolerating you". j/k...love the guy, but wouldn't want to embarrass him too much with something mushy.ReplyDelete
Good question.... it would have to say "Quilters Rule!"ReplyDelete
Love Aurifil!
I don't know what I would put up there. Maybe "I'd rather be home sewing." I'm not much of a sports fan...ReplyDelete
So far I've only used Mettler but am interested in trying others. I haven't found any Aurifil in the shops around here. Thanks for the opportunity to win! Not sure what my sign would say...ReplyDelete
How fun! And that parfait - all I can say is WOW. I guess my message would be "I like your shirt." It's a standard with my coworkers :) I've never tried Aurifil, but I'd like to !ReplyDelete
This week I'd have to say happy first anniversary to my darling husband.ReplyDelete
I think I would have to say thank you to our Troops!ReplyDelete
I think I would say my mantra this week. "It will be ok. I'll take care of it."ReplyDelete
When I first saw the picture I thought you had a peanut butter parfait, my favorite..haha. Your's also looked good and what a thoughtful husband.ReplyDelete
Being a Marine mom I'd probably put something up like "Thank you to our militry men, women and their families for their sacrifices abroad and at home"
Thank you for a great giveaway and a chance to win.
I've never tried aurifil, but I keep hearing about it. I'd love to give it a shot. :) What weight are you supposed to use for machine sewing vs hand sewing?ReplyDelete
Let's see, what would I put up on a scoreboard?
Maybe, "Smile at a stranger, they may be your next friend." Except y'know, non-creepily. :D
Now that is what I call a proper sundae, forget ice cream and chocolate, mashed potatos are food of the gods. Only in America!ReplyDelete
Love your blog, keep up the good work.
Thanks for the giveaway opportunity. I enjoy reading your blog. My message would say "Smile"!ReplyDelete
I've never tried Aurifil thread. Like you, I usually use Guterman because it's easy to find at the fabric shop.ReplyDelete
On the scoreboard...I'd rather be quilting.
Yeah, I'd definitely rather be at my sewing machine than at a football game.
I didn't know Aurifil was available on Amazon! Great tip. I've been using Gutermann too, but my machine hasn't been liking it so much lately. I need to give this a try!ReplyDelete
I pulled my Garden Fence quilt out of the dryer this morning, so I'd put "I just finished a Christmas gift" on the billboard. Cause I'm pretty proud!
(P.S. I need to find a barbecue sundae for lunch!)
My son just started kindergarten. He desperately wants to be a super hero - a real one. He is afraid that if he becomes one that his teacher will not let him leave school if he needs to "save the day." I would leave a comment for him. Something along the lines of this - "Notice to all kindergarten super heroes: You are allowed to leave school if you need to save the day!" He loves signs and this would make his day. We have one sign in the living room that reads "No News" - this one went up when we turned the channel to watch the evening news yet again. Another is in the garage to notify us that snowmen are not allowed in the house – "They would melt mom." No it cannot come down when it is 100 degrees out - it may snow you know. THANKS!ReplyDelete
My boy smile to me today!!ReplyDelete
I just got a brand new wool coat from Costco for $70. It was freezing this morning and I wore it to work. I think I would want to tell everyone about the fantastic deal! :)ReplyDelete
Oh what a sweet husband! I would say that my kids are the greatest!ReplyDelete
love aurfil! I've tried one spool and it is my new favorite. A bit of a drive to find it but it was worth it! I would say Happy 2nd Birthday to my princess Kate!ReplyDelete
- AnonymousSeptember 13, 2011 at 11:19 AM
Today is my oldest son's 9th birthday so I would probably post something to utterly embarass him! I know in a few years (20 or so) he would appreciate it!ReplyDelete
I'D POST "FRESHLY PIERCED BLOG" IS THE GREATEST!ReplyDelete
I'd post "I'd rather be sewing!" on the billboard! I would love to try this thread, I've heard so much about it - but can't locate it locally... Thanks for a chance to win! :)ReplyDelete
"I'm sew happy!"ReplyDelete
I have also only used Guterman and would love to try aurifil.ReplyDelete
I go to TONS of Astros games...I'd probably post something like, "no, we're not picstalking YOU...ok, maybe you though!" My sister is constantly taking pictures, and some of the players love it while others...not so much! :)ReplyDelete
At this moment I would put "Levi Johnson for President" on a billboard just for giggles. I am so tired of seeing that fool on TV.ReplyDelete
I have never tried this thread and would LOVE to!
Have never tried but I am totally in need of thread. Have recently rediscovered my love of sewing (now that children sleep thru the night and I have some energy!!) & am so hooked! but on a limited budget, so some thread would be amazing!!! thanks!ReplyDelete
But "happy birthday" is boring, and really, how would you know it was REALLY for you? I've got some Aurifil in my machine now, loves the stuff it really is amazing!ReplyDelete
I had ice cream for lunch, psh diets are boring and who wants to be skinny right? Right? ;)
I'd go with Happy Birthday - but only if it wasn't really my sweetie's birthday. If it was, then "Math and Safety!" because those are his mottoes.ReplyDelete
Love that Aurifil thread! Would love to try different weights. It is in limited distribution around here.ReplyDelete
I would put on the scoreboard my motto - "Each day is a gift, that is why it is called the present."
judee :)
I would love to try Aurifil thread. And happy birthday to you! The hexi message was sweet. Shows he pays attention, right?ReplyDelete
I am too lame to ever think of anything cool to put on a scoreboard. But happy belated b-day to you and thanks for the chance to win!ReplyDelete
I would say that I am thankful for my new and "old" friends! Lucky people who win this thread.ReplyDelete
Oh, I have been wanting to try that thread after hearing all the buzz about it. No idea on the scoreboard, probably flash a picture of my cute kids, or throw out an odd movie line. Hello, my name is Inigo Montoya...ReplyDelete
What I would put on a scoreboard is "You're perfect just the way you are". Powerful message that people need to embrace. Love the thread, have used it for years. Thanks for a great giveaway!ReplyDelete
om gTHAT is meat and potatoes!? What a great idea! lol I'll try that on the kids next supper. ; )ReplyDelete
I HEART THREAD... but you already know that.
Billboard: "Quilting = Awesomeness!"ReplyDelete
Would absolutely LOVE to win the Aurifill threads.
I would love that bar-b-q parfait! I would say something like 'The (lastname) boys are the greatest!' Thanks for the chance to win!ReplyDelete
I would love my hubs to do that for me :) parfait looked yummy too! Thanks for the chance to win the thread!ReplyDelete
How fun! I wonder if my kids would eat dinner better if it looked like an ice cream sundae?ReplyDelete
I would want to put something funny that would make random people laugh and my family roll on the floor, but I'm not coming up with anything right now.
Happy Birthday!!!
eat more pork parfait! that is what i would put on the board...ReplyDelete
I'm just using my first reel of aurifill thread and the only word i can think of to describe it is SMOOTH! It feels so different to what I have used before. My message will be "Will I ever win a blog giveaway or am i just wasting my breath!!!" :')ReplyDelete
Mmmmm, I just drooled on the keyboard!! What a fun husband, hope you had a great birthday! As for my message...um, how about "Hug your mama."ReplyDelete
Thanks for another inspiring post!!
I think it was a funny message - more thoughtfull than happy birthday. I'd put "itching to be stitching"ReplyDelete

Karen sent out a note that the person who raises the most money between April 22nd and the end of the month will get a very cool, fantastic photo produced with extreme care of Tuckerman Ravine. The photo was taken in 2006 the morning after the famous avalanche on the Headwall. Snow Rangers measured the break to be about 12 feet high and it was clearly visible from HoJo's deck. We know that because this wonderful photo was taken from the deck at HoJo's. Imagine that.
Get your contributions rolling in before the end of the month and grab the ring - or photo in this case.

Authorities located the remains on a farm May 30. Although identification is still pending, law enforcement believes the deceased was Michael Allen McIntyre, 29, of Cartersville.
McIntyre was last seen May 18 and was reported missing by family on May 24. In the missing person report, the man's sister said he left the Kelly Trail residence sometime after 11 p.m. May 18 and had not been heard from since. According to the report, McIntyre was involved in a car accident in 2001, which left his friend dead and McIntyre injured. His sister said he had battled depression since that time, but had never experienced suicidal thoughts or behavior.
Bartow-Cartersville Drug Task Force Commander Capt. Mark Mayton confirmed his agency, along with the U.S. Marshals, executed an arrest warrant on Martin about 7:45 a.m. Monday.
Martin is the second suspect arrested in connection with the case. On June 7, officers arrested Jason Daniel Poston, 30. Bartow County Sheriff's Office investigators said in a release that, during the investigation, it was discovered that Martin had helped Poston hide and dispose of the body.
Phillip Martin was arrested and charged with concealing the death of another person and abandonment of a dead body. He was being held without bond Monday afternoon.

Festivals in the Benelux are entertaining just to read about, never mind attending: cinema fairs for days, huge musical events ranging from harpsichord to heavy metal, and celebrations of the most beloved local products, be they floral, edible or potable. You're in for some fun at festivals in Holland, Belgium and Luxembourg.
The Riesling Open is not a golf tournament but one of the many wine and other festivals that make Luxembourg such an entertaining destination. This particular one puts four villages on the Moselle, where those fabulous grapes grow, under the reign of King Riesling and his royal entourage (a temporary and quite vivacious monarchy). The fun for you comes in when sample Luxembourg's wines and crémants and their production in the local wine cellars. You might like the International Comics Festival (for strips, not stand-up), or a trip to a fantastical past at the Vianden Medieval Festival. There you'll be dazzled by the medieval inn, a Knights' encampment, jugglers, fire eaters, troubadours and minstrels, wizards, crossbows, magical elixirs, dancers, games and an exceedingly merry crowd.
Yes, of course there are chocolate festivals in Belgium. One is on the elegant Place du Sablon in Brussels; convene with fellow chocoholics to taste the latest trends in choco-expression as well as the melt-in-your-mouth classics. Belgium is mad for the cinema and holds over 30 festivals focusing on diverse film genres. The Ghent Music Festival that began in 1959 has expanded to include seven music festivals in the cities of Antwerp, Bruges, Brussels, Kortrijk, Limburg, Mechelen and Flemish Brabant. The Louvain-la-neuve Open Jazz festival welcomes professionals and amateurs alike - it's only fitting that playing jazz is so popular in country that gave us the saxophone. Visual and performing arts, beer and comic strips, sand castle building and shrimp harvesting all get their due in Belgium, land of a zillion festivals.
Holland hosts an amazing antiques and treasures event called The European Fine Arts Fair. Serious collectors and museums come here to acquire beauty, and you can attend and feel closer to the art than in almost any museum; the people watching is also spectacular. The Holland Flowers Festival kicks off the spring with a scintillating spectacle of blossoming bulb flowers, trees, shrubs and other ornamental cultivation products. The International Film Festival Rotterdam defines it unique character by focusing on new, innovative, independent films and filmmakers. The festival is a mixture of cinema, film-related visual art exhibitions and live performances. These are just a few of the major festivals in Holland; you'll find wonderful local celebrations of art, food, and performance all over the country.
The Pyrenees Mountains straddle the border between Spain and France.
Central Europe is eager to welcome you to discover its treasures!

Intel's next-generation CPU, codenamed Haswell, was the major star of IDF. One aspect of the chip we haven't talked about at length, however, is its emphasis on reduced power consumption. When Intel announced that its Ivy Bridge mobile products would target 17W for mainstream systems, it made headlines. Pushing Haswell down to 10W is an even greater achievement, but hitting these targets requires a great deal of collaboration and cooperation... Intel's Game Changer, One Size Fits All Haswell
You're right Joel, power considerations are going to steer the market of the future.
I wonder if the competition has any Rabbits in their hats?
Dogs are great judges of character, and if your dog doesn't like somebody being around, you shouldn't trust them.
Haswell is looking to be a killer chip for sure.
Editor In Chiefhttp://hothardware.com
It was very interesting to read about new processor from Intel. I think it is good to reduce the power of CPU. I am looking forward to read next gen Intel CPU for desktop and next Extreme Edition Series from Intel
Not unless they can break the laws of physics.
This intel guy holding the CPU looks like he's passing something righteous!
I don't see where any changes to the laws of physics are necessary to make this happen. They are simply turning off circuitry when it's not being used and providing different levels of performance to meet varying demands. Balls out the chips still gonna suck power and dissipate heat, but when it's doing lighter tasks, it can turn parts of itself off or slow them way down that aren't being used and save power. The complexity of such circuits relative to the rest of the processor is probably fairly trivial. It is sad that they are focusing on one OS vendor, Microsoft, because Windows-8 frankly blows. I'd much rather see them do a good job of documenting so that Mac, Linux, BSD, and other OS's can ALL benefit from these capabilities.
Pushing Haswell down to 10W is an even greater achievement, but hitting these targets requires a great deal of collaboration and cooperation.
I work for Intel and they got it to 7W not 10. This is also public knowledge.
I'm writing a paper on this for my "Organizational Report Writing" class. The chip seems stellar.
This is all pretty impressive.
My rig - I7-4770K, ASUS Z87-A Mobo, 16 GB Corsair Ram, AMD 7990 GPU, CoolIT AiO Cooler, NZXT H630
It sounds like although its power consumption is being decreased by a slight amount, the number Intel is reporting is correlated with what the CPU is doing while still being "on"It's good to see some improvements and that power consumption is dropping when it's in minimal use or idle but what's really important is finding a way to decrease power consumption in heavy top side loads since most people buy computers to use them, not try and keep them to minimal or idle use.
I was reading somewhere last night that with new architecture in mobile chips a laptop while im sure running at idle could keep a charge as long as 24+hrs. That to me is even more impressive than the preformance and integrated 4000 graphics aspects of haswell.
I read this is soldered in to the board at the OEM and has done away with the traditional socket . I think you get what they give you no choices.
I didnt see mention of socket type. Anyone?
Haswell's socket will be 1150.
I am looking forward to the x89 series CPUs. But I feel the z87s aren't really too exciting. No new innovation (except 64Gb dual channel capabilities) and the heat spreader will be what should have been on the z77 CPUs. I like Intel, but that was not a good move. It's almost like they did it on purpose! IMO, its not worth an upgrade unless if you feel 10% is a big enough advantage.

Ken McLeod of Ken's Antiques & Auction saw his own share of the storm when the tornado damaged his Main Street business in downtown Adairsville, but that won't stop him from hosting a benefit auction Saturday, March 2, at his new location in the old Parkway Ford building at 5563 Joe Frank Harris Parkway.
Live auctions will begin Saturday at 10 a.m. with all proceeds going to help Adairsville residents and business owners rebuild, but for the auction to be the success McLeod is hoping for, organizers still need donations.
"It's going to be like a big party for the community just trying to raise some money for the victims," McLeod said. "We're not looking for food or clothes, the churches are going to take care of that, we're just asking for anything of value that can be resold. People may have a car laying around they don't need, it could be a big tax deduction for them, or motorcycles, lawnmowers, or tools, or furniture, artwork — anything of value."
Helping McLeod round up items for the auction is Tammy Livingood of Livingood Lab Services. She's personally calling on individuals, businesses and civic organizations to donate anything they can to the effort. She also encourages businesses to donate smaller items or gift certificates that could be used for raffle items as an additional source of revenue for the fundraiser. Livingood Lab Services will be pitching in a paternity test, which will be up for grabs Saturday.
"We need more items," Livingood said. "If people are tripping over anything in their garage or their attic, we'll take it, as long as it's something we can sell — furniture, tools, prints, cars, lawnmowers, anything anyone has that they don't mind donating. It is tax deductible, but we do need to make sure it's resellable.
"We already have some items, but we need a lot more. Businesses can also donate gift certificates and we'll have raffles for those. If they're large gift certificates, we'll auction those off too."
Livingood has worked with Ken's Antiques & Auction in the past, helping with weekend auctions, so when she and her home were spared in the tornado that tore through Adairsville and Calhoun, she knew she had to do something.
"The tornado went right behind my backyard and afterward, I was directing traffic — it was just the least I could do," Livingood said. "I kept trying to figure out how I could help because so many people lost so much and I was so very lucky that I didn't and I just wanted to help. When Ken mentioned this, I go to a lot of his auctions and I even work the auctions with him as a hobby, and that's what inspired me to help him."
The inspiration for a benefit auction came from friends of McLeod who had success with similar situations. In trying to raise funds after a death in the family and another for a friend on hard times, McLeod has seen benefit auctions raise tens of thousands of dollars for their cause. He would like to see similar results in Adairsville this weekend, but will need more donated items in order to reach his goal.
"I've had some friends in the past who have had a death in the family and didn't have insurance. Another one was just down on his luck and we just contacted people that knew them, collected donated items and had a party," McLeod said. "A lot of people don't have money to shell out because of the economy, but everyone has something laying around they're not using that they could donate. All the money will go through NorthPointe Church. They have a charity account set up to benefit the disaster relief fund and all the people affected by the tornado in Adairsville.
"We'll take things up through the day of the sale. We'll, of course, do a live auction, but we would also like to have businesses donate gift cards and small products that we'll sell raffle tickets for. The Lion's Club will be there providing concessions and any money raised from food sales will also benefit Adairsville storm relief."
Although organizers are looking for more items, they have already received donations of furniture, a vintage Coca-Cola vending machine, a new watch and jewelry.
Donations can be dropped off at the auction site, 5563 Joe Frank Harris Parkway in Adairsville, or McLeod and Livingood will have arrangements made to pick up donated items if necessary. Cartersville drop-off sites also have been designated at Bruce Thompson Allstate and C&C Gutters. Call Livingood, 770-608-7663, or McLeod, 770-364-6281, before dropping off donations.

I'm looking at getting an 8 arrow quiver for a new bow. I'm liking the Martin 8 arrow quiver....similar to the super quiver without the extras.
My main concern is if the quiver is adjustable up and down. I see a slit in the main support for the mount and I also see the holes up and down the support.
I will need to be able to adjust the entire quiver up from the slit.....basically using the holes closer to the arrow grabbers.......so I can keep the arrows inside of the axles of the bow. Other wise the fletchings would be well below the bottom axle. Can't have that.
Can I adjust this quiver up to center my arrows?
Thanks a bunch.

I can't believe this is still available! I bought mine years ago and it is one of my favorite pieces of outdoor clothing. It's been sailing to Antarctica and on two MINI Cooper trips to Hudson Bay. (Do a Google)
It is the perfect outer layer when dressed properly. Durable. The white color is no problem as mine still resembles the shade, even after sitting in penguin colonies. It is super durable.
Oh, and for the Park Avenue explorers, there is no shortage of conversation in this piece. Everyone wants to know about it and everyone thinks it looks great.
Avoid plastic. Try this.

I am an avid lake trout ice fisherman. We travel long distances into very remote country and need warm clothing that will not fail us. I have worn my Anorak ice fishing at -20 all day by just turning my back to the wind with my hood up. It cuts the wind like no coat I have ever worn. Great Product!!!!

Inspired by the classic routes of the Randonnées Permanentes of the Club des Cent Cols, and tailored for Rapha by Phil Deeker, the Cent Cols Challenge is one of the most demanding rides available and should be approached with appropriate reverence. The Cents Cols challenge is a major physical feat, and on most days you should expect to spend 8-10 hours in the saddle. With a support caravan, accommodation and meals, we provide everything the riders will need, letting them focus their minds, and legs, on the cols. Mark your challenge with limited edition commemorative apparel.

Why enter the Cent Cols Challenge?
Held in the French Alps, the French Pyrenees and in the Dolomites, the Cent Cols Challenges all average roughly 200kms daily, with 4,500metres of climbing, over ten stages. One rest day gives riders a respite half-way through. The fully arrowed routes take in many iconic climbs, but often lead riders up seldom-ridden roads, adding a strong sense of discovery to these unique journeys.
In former CCC riders' own words, these events are "intoxicating", "life-changing" and "totally addictive". Many riders who question their sanity on the first days find themselves debating with fellow riders, later in the event, which one they will ride together the following year.
As Phil Deeker, the organiser who also rides the events says:
"To endure the merciless demands of the mountains and yet be touched by their sheer beauty, day after day and for most of the daylight hours on offer, is a pretty fail-safe way to find the true secrets of our sport. To complete it is a worthy achievement, even in the eyes of many pro riders who have now heard about the events."
Despite the emphasis being placed on 'taking part' rather than 'winning', in order to kindle the inner competitive flame, two climbs per stage are timed (using www.Strava.com ) for those wishing to take part in the CCC KoM competition. As well as adding a competitive moment to the stages, this idea is also designed to reduce the temptation to race downhill- in an event like this, literally hours are spent descending and Phil emphatically warns participants about the inherent dangers that go with the 'climbers' reward'.
"To enter one of these events is a brave step, but many have proved that you do not need to be part of some kind of amateur elite to succeed in them. These events let riders off the leash of their everyday responsibilities in their 'normal lives', but when descending they do have to be reminded of those who depend on and love them!"
Places are limited to 34 riders in order to ensure a close, personal atmosphere within the group and also to ensure a well-supported and safe event. In 2009, the first CCC was held in the French Alps. In 2013, three events are planned and, as Phil tells us, if the pre-sales interest is anything to go by, places will sell faster than ever this year.

Trainer Ron Ellis said Thursday from Barn 52 North that he was happy with post six in a field of seven in the $500,000 Hollywood Gold Cup Saturday for Rail Trip, who defends his crown in the Grade I test at 1 ¼ miles on Cushion Track.
"The post is perfect," said Ellis, who will be outside the other two horses who have shown speed, Compari and Tres Borrachos. "If the race was run on paper, I think we would be sitting third. But as you know, they're not run on paper."
Ellis thinks he is bringing a fresher, stronger, more mature horse to the Gold Cup this year. "He's doing real well," said Ellis after the 5-year-old gelding jogged on the main track. Rail Trip makes only his third start of the year after an eight-month layoff. Last year the Gold Cup was his eighth start in eight months.
Rail Trip comes off easy victories in the Mervyn LeRoy Handicap and The Californian and seeks to join Eleven Stitches in 1981 as the only horse to sweep the series. He also seeks to join Native Diver and Lava Man as the only multiple winners in the 71-year history of the race.
Rail Trip was assigned high weight of 123 pounds, seven more than when he won the race by three lengths last year. "I'm not happy with the weights, but what are you going to do?" said Ellis. "Richard's Kid beat us at equal weights in the Pacific Classic last year, and I've got to give him two pounds."
Rail Trip will be ridden by Rafael Bejarano. The Kentucky-bred son of Jump Start has won eight of 11 starts and earned $967,790 for Mace and Samantha Siegel's Jay Em Ess Stable.
The Gold Cup will be run as the eighth of ten races. Post time is approximately 4:35 p.m.
After wilting in a New York heat wave earlier in the week, Gayego was happy to adapt to the cooler weather at Hollywood Park for the $250,000 Grade I Triple Bend Handicap at seven furlongs Saturday.
"It's great!" said Rick Mettee, United States assistant for Godolphin Racing, of the weather during a cool drizzly morning. "Everyone here is complaining, but this is beautiful. His color looks better here in 36 hours. He looks brighter."
Gayego, stabled at Belmont Park where the thermometer hovered around 100 degrees at the beginning of the week, left Long Island Tuesday morning and arrived here around 3 p.m. that day after stops in Kentucky and Ontario airport.
"He had yesterday off and cantered this morning," said Mettee. "I was happy. He warmed up very well and grabbed the track really good. He'll do the same thing tomorrow."
The Triple Bend is a homecoming of sorts for Gayego, a 5-year-old horse who is unbeaten in two starts on this track. He broke his maiden here at first asking in November, 2007, and won again in November, 2008, for trainer Paulo Lobo before being sold privately to Godolphin at the start of 2009.
Winner of the Arkansas Derby in 2008, Gayego returned to California last autumn to win the Grade I Ancient Title Stakes at Santa Anita and finish fourth in a four-way photo finish in the Breeders' Cup Sprint there. He was shipped to Dubai for the second straight winter and finished eighth in the Golden Shaheen Stakes in his last start March 27.
Gayego will leave from post four in a field of eight under high weight of 122 pounds for trainer Saeed bin Suroor and jockey Rafael Bejarano. He has won seven of 16 starts and earned $1,459,620.
The Triple Bend will go as the sixth race. Post time is approximately 3:35 p.m.
Trainer John Sadler hopes the $100,000 Landaluce Stakes for 2-year-old fillies Sunday will be the dawning of a glittering California campaign for Dawnie Macho.
"I'm excited about her," said Sadler Thursday from his stable after entering the recent acquisition from Chicago in the six-furlong meet championship.
Dawnie Macho was purchased privately for Gary and Cecil Barber after winning her debut at Arlington Park by five lengths in track-record time of 51.16 seconds for 4 ½ furlongs on June 12.
"She worked nicely here Monday for the first time, five furlongs in 1:01," said Sadler, who named Joe Talamo to ride the chestnut in the Landaluce. "She's quick, but I think she can rate."
Sadler, who has enjoyed success in recent years with Dawn Before Dawn, Dawn After Dawn and Third Dawn for owners Ike and Dawn Thrash,
hopes to enjoy more luck with the name for the Barber brothers. Dawnie Macho is by Macho Uno out of the unraced Montbrook mare Blush of Dawn.
Sadler won the Landaluce two years ago with Emmy Darling.
Alexis Barba, trainer of Alphie's Bet, glanced at a sheet with only eight nominees for the $200,000 Swaps Stakes July 17.
"It's not big, but it's tough," said Barba of the Grade II test for 3-year-olds at 1 1/8 miles on Cushion Track.
Expected to join Sham and Snow Chief stakes winner Alphie's Bet are Santa Anita Derby winner Sidney's Candy, Affirmed Handicap winner Golden Itiz, Affirmed runner-up Skipshot and Iowa Derby winner Concord Point.
Also nominated are Pinal, Summer Movie and Twirling Candy.
FINISH LINES—Free Flying Soul, winner of the Desert Stormer Handicap June 12, heads a list of 11 fillies and mares nominated to the $150,000 Grade II A Gleam Handicap at seven furlongs July 17. Also nominated are Emmy Darling, Irish Gypsy, Lady Railrider, Madame Arabella, Made for Magic, Moon de French, Sweet August Moon, Value Stream, Via Veneto and Will O Way. Moon de French worked six furlongs in 1:12 here Thursday…Buenos Dias, winner of an allowance/optional claiming race at 1 ½ miles on turf here June 10, is prominent among probable starters for the $100,000 Grade III Sunset Handicap at the same distance on July 18, closing day of the meet. Also nominated are Acclamation, Champ Pegasus, Dynamic Range, Great Siege, Marlang, Oil Man, Tamarack Smarty and Unusual Suspect…Trainer Howard Zucker reported that stakes-winning filly Well Monied has been retired. "She tweaked herself a couple weeks ago galloping," said Zucker, who trains at Santa Anita. "It was a shame. She was a really sound filly. She will go to the November Keeneland sale." Well Monied, a 4-year-old roan owned by C.T. Grether Inc., won the Grade II Honeymoon Handicap and finished second in the Grade I American Oaks last year. She finished fourth in the Grade I Gamely Stakes in her last start here May 29. She won four of 10 starts and earned $386,300…Blind Luck was flown to Delaware Park Wednesday and drew post five in a field of seven in the $250,000 Delaware Oaks Saturday. Meet riding leader Joel Rosario will ride the filly for trainer Jerry Hollendorfer…Rafael Bejarano will be at Arlington Park July 17 to ride Gamely winner Tuscan Evening in the $200,000 Modesty Handicap for Hollendorfer and General Quarters in the $300,000 American Derby…Jockey Martin Pedroza, who has won 999 races at Hollywood Park, has three mounts Friday night in an attempt to join nine other riders in the elite 1,000-win club…Hall of Fame trainer Ron McAnally celebrates his 78th birthday Sunday.

Saint's Sculptures between the XIX and the XX century / Casa Vestita, Grottaglie, Italy
Saint's Sculptures between the XIX and the XX century / Casa Vestita, Grottaglie, Taranto, Italy
March 29 – April 15, 2012
Opening reception: Thursday, March 29th, 18.30 pm.
For the first time ever, there will be exhibited over 95 votive terracotta figurines representing some of the saints venerated in Puglia, a tangible sign of the widespread devotion to Southern home.
Fifteen photos by photographer Ciro Quaranta will open the exhibition, who in the last thirty years has been conducting a thorough research on the popular faith in Puglia, managing to put together a file that describes moments of faith and devotion that are cyclically repeated during the centuries.
The exhibition "Sacralità domestica", maintained by the archaeologist Simone Mirto and ceramist Mimmo Vestita will open in Via Crispi 63/A on the 29th of March, and runs until 15 April, enriching the range of cultural offerings in regional during the Easter season when many tourists reach the Salento to enjoy the balmy spring temperatures or to attend the renowned Holy Week Rites in Taranto.
The votive statues accompanied by the photographs tell the intimate relationship between man and the sacred, an extraordinary exhibition which takes visitors through different eras of environments, all enclosed in the picturesque setting of Casa Vestita in the heart of the "City of ceramics". Grottaglie is thus prepared to the first exhibition that puts a spotlight on an aspect of popular devotion, at a specific time such as Easter, in which the mystery of faith is particularly felt by the community.
"A recious and rare exhibition" - Simone Mirto, curator of the exhibition. Sacralità domestica is the first exhibition in Italy that traces the lower production of votive terracotta figurines made in Grottaglie.

text: Hey guys bought a drop zone for my saber and paper tuned. I have bullet holes from 3-15 yards but the rest is set way to the right the fletching almost hits the front of the riser when shot. Is there anything that could cause my bow to tune so far to the right? Can a single cam bow be out of time and could that be it? I am pulling my hair out cause there is definatly something wrong. I forgot to mention its a 2010 saber 70#limbs and29 in draw. I shoot carbon express mayhem hunter 350 with 100 gr tips. Thanks in advance for your input.
