Why is Nikolas still out walking around? He should be holed up in Shadybrook in a bed next to the back of Laura's head.
Some cities have hip, sexy nicknames, like The Big Apple, or the Mile High City, or the City of Lights. My city has a much less sexy and somewhat bulky nickname "America's Finest City". But this week, San Diego earned its nickname over and over again. Readers, I know some of you who dislike it when I share personal thoughts and drift from the topic of GH. However, I am incapable of writing a fluff piece about Daytime Drama without acknowledging the fact that my city has been an inferno all week. So bear with me for a little bit, and I promise I will get to GH.
I heard Matt Lauer on the Today show talking about the differences between Hurricane Katrina, and the wildfires this week. He said there were 2 reasons that our natural disaster had a better outcome than Katrina. 1) San Diego's Reverse 911 system - where people got emergency evacuation calls directly to their homes telling them to leave, where to go, and what to do. People got those calls, and, for the most part, followed the instructions and evacuated. 2) San Diegans "showed Up" as Matt Lauer put it.
There were in excess of 500,000 people evacuated and in shelters. It was smoky, dark and scary outside. Ashes were drifting down like snow, and my dear friend David said to me yesterday "Every time I see those ashes falling, I keep thinking- that could be what's left of someone's wedding photo album, or a table their Grandpa made them or some other treasure they cherished.", which made me cry. And the rest of San Diego cried, too. Roads were closed, businesses were closed, and newscasters told people to stay inside. But, San Diegans didn't stay inside; they came out into the fire to help their neighbors. City officials had to come on TV and tell San Diegans to STOP bringing food and supplies to the shelters, because they HAD TOO MUCH. Think about that for a minute.
People waited in line at the stadium as if they were going to a Charger's game, just to drop off a case of bottled water, or a sleeping bag, or some blankets or sandwiches for people who had been evacuated. You did not see any evacuees with signs in San Diego saying "Please Help Us" because before the signs were made, the help was already there. The citizens in this town mobilized and volunteered and gave and pitched in wherever they could. They are still working to help the fire victims and will continue to do so for months. America's Finest City isn't just the finest because we have miles of glorious coastline and Panda's and Killer Whales. San Diego is America's Finest City because it has a Giant Heart.
We also have a Governor who stepped off the silver screen from playing a hero and became a hero in real life. The minute San Diego was in trouble, Arnold showed up, too. And he didn't show up for 20 minutes for a brief walk through the ashes to shake his head with a sad look on his face and fly off again. He parked here. He stayed. He worked with city officials and firefighters and he got them what they needed. When Schwarzenegger ran for office, people joked about it. No one's laughing now. The man is remarkable. America's Finest City has been blessed with America's Finest People and America's Finest Governor. Our nickname may be a bit clunky, but it's completely true.
Lucky, on the other hand, hasn't been very Lucky. (See, I told you I'd get to GH eventually.) He's been brainwashed, his Mom is in a vegetative state, he got shot and hooked on drugs, his baby sister is mixed up in a mob war, his Dad vanishes for months at a time, his son Jake is� NOT his son Jake and his marriage to his high school sweetheart Liz has fallen apart. But perhaps his luck is changing. Sam is back from her Everyday Heroes location shoot, and ready to have a real relationship with Lucky. It's great to have Kelly Monaco back and to see her actually SMILE. Sam has been written so angry and cranky and whiny for so long, it's nice to see glimpses of the Sam we once loved. Maybe she's still in there somewhere.
Lucky's brother Nikolas may still be in there somewhere, but he's crazy as hell. He keeps having "Blackouts" where he almost
kills someone and then 4 seconds later doesn't remember that it happened. Man, I wish I could get away with that. I have a few people I'd like to
hold over a railing for a few minutes.
But all kidding aside, dear readers - why is Nikolas still out walking around? He should be holed up in Shadybrook in a bed next to the Back of Laura's Head. Nikolas has violently attacked a plethora of people, yet no one has pressed legal charges, or moved to have him committed. He nearly dropped Sam over a parapet at Wyndemere, and then tells her "Sorry cousin, I don't remember what just happened." Sam is very casual about dangling to her near death, and shrugs it off with a "Well, hey, if you don't REMEMBER trying to kill me, no problem!" Same with Jerry Jax, "Well, yeah, Nikolas stabbed me, but you know, I *did* poison him after all, so I guess I owe him my silence." And then there's Logan, and Alexis, and Carly's idiotic "I don't know why Max intervened when Nikolas had a letter opener to my throat - I was talking him down!"
Nik has a steady line of people who have witnessed his outbursts, and no one has done anything about it. Just as well - otherwise he wouldn't be free togo totally mad and kill someone at the big Black and White Ball. Rumor has it that Nikolas is going to kill a major character at his gala event. I only wish it was like American Idol and we got to phone in and vote on which character he offs.
It won't be Robin, that's for sure. Now that Patrick has told her he won't interfere in her elusive quest for sperm anymore, I suppose we will find out Robin already IS pregnant with Patrick's baby. I don't buy the "Robin is having dizzy spells because she is so stressed out about finding a sperm donor." logic. When Robin thought she was pregnant before, and the home pregnancy test came back negative, I thought� "Mmm Hmmm." I have a hunch she doesn't need Spinelli to do his� duty. BTW, just the thought of Spinelli pleasuring himself in Dr. Lee's office made me a little queasy. Robin is probably already pregnant, with Patrick as the unwilling 'sperm donor' like it or not. If I'm right, the depth of this storyline will be two-fold, watching Patrick try to wrap his mind around parenthood, and Robin and the rest of us being educated on HIV and pregnancy.
Lulu needs an education too- apparently no one ever taught her how to LISTEN. Like when someone says "Don't you dare go back to the house of that madman, he will kill you." She still goes back. Boy, that Anthony Zacharra is a real whack job. Hooray! There's nothing like a seriously unbalanced murderous villain to spice up a soap opera. If the crazed maniac adores roses, too - that's just gravy. Lulu would be much better off working things out with the Beautiful Disaster known as Logan Hayes, and I hope eventually she forgets about Johnny. However, Johnny might be a good match for Skanky Maxie, assuming she can sober up and get back to work. (Meow.)
My deepest respect to Lucky and Liz for silencing their warring lawyers and making the best choice for their kids, together. Imagine if every divorced family were able to behave so rationally and put their children's happiness above getting even with each other. But hey, that would put all those family courts and mediators out of business.
What will happen tomorrow? Will Rick and Sonny finally become BFF's and team up together to take down Mr. Big (Oops, I mean Trevor)? Will Molly and Lila Rae play nice together while Skye and Ric work hard at pretending there is no agenda other than dual diaper duty? Will Anthony Zacharra get his dead wife's necklace and choke Lulu with it? Will Carly actually follow instructions for once and wear Black and White to the Black and White ball? Will someone remind poor brain damaged Jason where the barber shop is located? Will Sam tell Lucky that his brother tried to kill her during their next hot tub romp? Will any of the GH doctors ever remind Epiphany that she is a nurse and therefore not the boss of them? Will Sonny be mad when his suit gets messed up after that car exploded on it? Will God please, please, please send San Diego some rain? (But not too much, we don't want mudslides.)

Baby Boomers needs
There is a need for "baby boomers" families, particularly blended families to carefully organise their affairs while they are able to do so.
See High Court case of Stanford v Stanford
While this is a family law case the process recommended should extend to wills, powers of attorney and appointments of enduring guardians for these "boomers".

The United States Supreme Court's decision to strike down a key provision of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 reversed the posture the court took just the day before in its ruling on the Affirmative Action case involving admissions to the University of Texas. Yesterday, I quoted Eugene Robinson, who observed regarding the Affirmative Action decision that "the [justices] chose reality over ideology." Yesterday, in ruling on the Voting Rights Act, the justices chose ideology over reality.
To be sure, the court did not entirely gut the Voting Rights Act; instead, they insisted that Congress needed a new "formula" for applying "pre-clearance" by the Justice Department for changes in voting rules because the current formula was based on 40-year-old data. Still, let us be perfectly clear: Everything about the majority's decision is suspect. Everything.
The 15th Amendment is pretty clear. It states:
Section 1. The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude.
Section 2. The Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.

Visit the new online resource page here.
I suppose the adjective "appropriate" is amorphous enough to give the court license to do what it did. Still, as Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg noted in her dissent yesterday, "When confronting the most constitutionally invidious form of discrimination, and the most fundamental right in our democratic system, Congress' power to act is at its height."
Needless to say, no one in this conservative majority of the Roberts' court can ever again with a straight face invoke judicial restraint to justify one of their rulings. This decision ran roughshod not only over the authority of Congress, but the clear and nearly unanimous sense of that body. The reauthorization of the Voting Rights Act in 2006 passed the Senate 98-0. The majority in the House was not unanimous but nearly so, with only 30-odd votes opposed. The re-authorization was signed by President George W. Bush.
And, to be clear, if the formula is good or bad is for Congress to decide. Reading the ruling, I was reminded of a moment in oral arguments earlier this year, I believe in the arguments over the same-sex marriage cases if memory serves, when Justice Antonin Scalia hammered away at those seeking to declare the denial of marriage to gay couples unconstitutional. He asked more than once: "When did it become unconstitutional?" The idea is that the Constitution sets categorical limits on the actions of government which do not change with the winds of time and culture. So, my question for Justice Scalia: Who signed this majority opinion, and when did this formula become unconstitutional?
Which leads to the most egregious assertion of the chief justice. He wrote: "Our country has changed, and while any racial discrimination in voting is too much, Congress must ensure that the legislation it passes to remedy that problem speaks to current conditions." Although the reauthorization bill in 2006 did not put it this way, I would ask the chief justice what he thinks of those always useful observations about sociocultural change that begin with the phrase, "If history is any judge ..." In St. Mary and All Saints churchyard in Beaconsfield, Edmund Burke turned over in his grave yesterday at the chief justice's cavalier dismissal of history as a guide.
If confirmation was needed that the Voting Rights Act pre-clearance formula was still needed, and that history is indeed a good guide for discerning where future problems will arise, it was not long in coming. Within hours of the decision, Republican Party leaders in Texas, Alabama, Mississippi and North Carolina all announced plans to proceed with voting restrictions previously disallowed by the pre-clearance review at the Justice Department or held at bay in their state legislatures pending the decision.
Of course, Congress has been invited by the court to devise a different "formula" seeing as the "if history is any judge" standard has been set aside. It is not the chief justice's fault, nor his responsibility, that Congress is so dysfunctional these days, but hoping for a remedy to the Voting Rights Act is like hoping for the eschaton.
It was a bad day for the country yesterday. In my 51 years on this planet, the achievements of the civil rights movement rank right up there with the maturing of environmental concerns as an achievement in our society. (And it is humbling to realize how many ways we have not advanced one inch or even back-slid in those same years!) It took hubris to achieve this result, as Justice Ginsburg said in her dissent: hubris and ideology.

Masala Twist
- Telephone 0141 339 3777
- Opening times Daily: noon–11pm.
- Food served Sun–Fri noon–11pm; Sat noon–11.30pm.
- Pre-theatre times Mon–Sun 3–6.30pm
- Average price £6.95 (buffet); £18 (evening meal)
- Pre-theatre price £9.95
- Website www.masalatwist.co.uk
Masala Twist, which quietly replaced The Curry Leaf at these premises in the summer, has certainly given itself a nice selling point, the 'twist' being a conscious approach to use local ingredients and natural flavourings. Any concerns that this could be a tad gimmicky begin to fade upon entrance, where genuine warmth exudes from the staff and it immediately feels like a restaurant run with pride put before profit margin – and it's welcome to have venison and rabbit on an Indian menu; to see a chasni coloured by beetroot rather than by a fierce pink factory creation. To start, a lamb seekh kebab is well-seasoned and juicy, with whole toasted cumin seeds adding lovely depth. Duck tikka is a more intriguing proposition (this particular meat is perhaps too rich and sweet for the tandoor) but the accompanying tangy green sauce just about holds things together. There's an enticing selection of regional mains, from favourites (Goan fish curry, butter chicken) through to less familiar fare like Bombay bakra – slow-cooked, tomato-based and brightened up by little shreds of spinach and sharp mustard leaves. Each has the region it originates from in brackets, including the playful 'mince and tatties (Glasgow)', which raises an eyebrow but turns out to be an accomplished spread of keemah (lamb mince curry) with cubes of potato and an impressively lingering heat. A welcome addition to the city's West End.
The 2016/17 edition of The List's Eating & Drinking Guide is out now – only £5.95 (+p&p).
This review is taken from the current (2016) edition.
With startling offerings such as jaisalmeri camel curry and kangaroo-e-seekh alongside all the established classics, this Byres Road favourite certainly lives up to its name. Its décor a smile-inducing mix of Birds Custard-yellow sofas and walls decked out with vintage Indian portraits and trinkets, the feeling is very much that you've arrived in the living room of an eccentric aunt – something the beamingly friendly welcome backs up. Start with smoky aubergine fritters slicked in chilli sauce or irresistible fusion food in the form of haggis pakora. From the mains, go local with a zyakedar hiran venison curry (a surprisingly tricky dish to find in Scotland) or Scottish monkfish served Goan-style in a sweet stew laced with coconut and mustard seeds. Pair them with some of the more unusual sides – saffron and clove-infused basmati or a melting cheese naan. With other Scottish classics such as mince and tatties given the Indian spice treatment, Masala Twist manages the difficult task of pulling off novelty cuisine that makes you want to lick your plate clean.
- High point: Classic Scottish ingredients with that promised twist
- Low point: Punjabi chicken a bit lacklustre
- Delivery: £1.50 G3, 11, 12, 20. £2.50 G1, G2, G13, G14. Deliver alcohol.
- Provides: Halal options, Children's portions, Children's high chairs, Wheelchair access, Pre-theatre menu, Free wi-fi
- Capacity: 80
- Largest group: 95
- Open since: 2011
- Number of wines sold by the glass: 5

Holocaust Memorial Day: Diary of events and services in Camden, Haringey and Westminster
PUBLISHED: 08:00 24 January 2014 | UPDATED: 10:31 24 January 2014
Polly Hancock
This year Holocaust Memorial Day will be commemorated on Monday, as multi-faith communities across north London come together to remember the atrocity. Here is our diary of events and services taking place in north London.
Ambassadors from Poland, Romania, Portugal and Japan will join Holocaust survivors at the London Jewish Cultural Centre, North End Road, Golders Green, for a service from 10.30am-12.15pm. The Mayor of Barnet, Cllr Melvin Cohen, MP Mike Freer, actor Tom Conti and distinguished guests are due to attend.
Sunday, January 26
Holocaust survivor Freddie Knoller will talk about his experiences and answer questions at The Jewish Museum, Albert Street, Camden Town. The event, from 11am-1pm, is open to the public but booking is essential.
Haringey Council will officially mark Holocaust Memorial Day at its fifth annual multifaith service at Bruce Castle Museum, Lordship Lane, Tottenham, from 2pm-3pm. The event is open to the public.
The New End Theatre Beyond and West London Synagogue present The Ceremony, a play by Eva Hoffman based on true events in the Polish village of Jedwabne in July 1941. The reading will start at 7pm, with a service preceding it at 6pm led by Rabbi Helen Freeman at West London Synagogue in Upper Berkeley Street, Marylebone.
Angel In The Forest, a concert commemorating Holocaust Memorial Day, will be performed at the North Western Reform Synagogue, Alyth Gardens, Hampstead Garden Suburb, at 7.30pm, with afternoon workshops beforehand from 2pm. It is a dramatic song cycle with text by Gertrud Kolmar and is composed by Julian Marshall.
Holocaust survivor Janine Webber will share her fascinating testimony at South Hampstead Synagogue, Eton Villas, Eton Road, at 7pm. The memorial event is hosted in conjunction with the Holocaust Educational Trust, which aims to educate young people on the contemporary relevance of the Holocaust. Members of Camden's Faith Leaders Forum will also attend.
Monday, January 27
UK commemorations will begin early today, as a candle is lit by senior government minister Ben Helfgott MBE, Holocaust survivor and honorary president of the Holocaust Memorial Day Trust, during a moment of reflection at King's Cross railway station at 8.15am. There will be performances by an intercultural choir and arts groups in the station throughout the morning until noon. Visitors will be invited to sign luggage tags pledging to Take a Step for Holocaust Memorial Day. These will be displayed at a commemorative event at the Queen Elizabeth II Conference Centre in Westminster from 2.30pm-5pm.
Tuesday, January 28
Belsize Square Synagogue, Belsize Square, Belsize Park, welcomes Allan Noel-Baker as guest speaker at its service of commemoration. Mr Noel-Baker is the grandson of Philip Noel-Baker, the MP who instigated the famous debate in Parliament on November 21, 1938, in response to Kristallnacht. The debate concluded with the decision to create the Kindertransport, through which some 10,000 Jewish children found refuge in Britain. Rabbi Stuart Altshuler will lead the service, which begins at 2pm.

The shape of the number 6 is almost as harmonious as the shape of the infinity symbol, and this is a quality you will find in 6 energy. 6 is considered a very flexible and caring energy with a definite feminine energy that is about as maternal as it gets. The 6 in your family is the glue that holds you all together. 6 can be either a male or a female in our mortal life, and you will know them by the strength they give to their community and their family as a whole.
This of course can have its drawbacks. Remember those times your mother was looking over your shoulder when you were trying to write a private note to a friend? Her intentions were good but you became aggravated with her meddling and intrusive behavior. The 6 energy around you, whether that is you or someone else, also inspires these feelings. Even though the actions of a 6 can appear annoying, the intentions are to create peace and harmony amongst those they love and these intentions guide their daily existence.
Associated with the sign of Gemini the number 6 energy also has a flip side that you will not want to mess with. Like a switch any injustices will be met with a demanding and commanding wrath. This energy has a tendency to wear their heart on their sleeves, and they quickly forget that all numbers are not created equal and this can lead to some problems. Their expectations on others are extremely high. When they are met the rewards are abundant. When they are not, the criticism can be harsh, but sometimes necessary.
Jovial, social, charming, graceful, funny, warm, motivated, dutiful, responsible, respected, and liked are other qualities you can use to describe number 6. They have their flaws, but who doesn't? They are very easy to like. If you are a 6 you are the rock in your family and your community. If you have one around you then you know who to go to when you are having an interpersonal problem.
In astrology the number 6 is associated with zodiac sign of Gemini. Number 6 is associated with The Lovers card in the Tarot. Celebrities with a Life Path 6 include Eleanor Roosevelt, Michael Jackson, and Elizabeth Browning.

Part 4 is up!
Part 4 of tobacco roads is UP and ready! I won't show you the whole thing here, there are some who might still be plodding along,and not wanting it solved for them, so Chloe is going to become the focus of the photos..*LOL*
I have had requests to revise the pages so there are some added "text only" pages without pictures. I'm already doing 3 versions of each step trying to please everyone. We have the regular .shtml extention that includes side bar so you can navigate back and forth. We have the printer friendly .html page for those who can't do .pdf and don't want the side bar so they can print it. Then we have the .pdf file for those who would rather have that.
Now....I've got requests to do a "text" only page so that you don't have to print pictures and not use so much ink. I bend over backwards, many times, but this time I'm going to put it at your feet. You have the ability to copy/paste the text into a word document yourself and just print what you want! That way you can customize it to your own liking and save all the ink you want to.
The cost of ink is small when you consider that this is a free mystery, a free 6 part mystery. What would you have paid for this in a shop? Or consider the price of at least one magazine at the store? Maybe the price of the ink is small potatoes in comparison.
But as for me, I'd rather spend time quilting, than altering the pages and making MORE versions.
Thanks for understanding!

You do more than anyone I know of for quilters. I haven't started this one due to time issues, but you can bet I will soon. Thanks again for a wonderful quilt! Take some time for yourself! Don't labor on Labor Day! LOL

Your right...Chloe is distracting from the quilt and I'm loving her!
- dot said...
Well now, work can be done on the printers side. If you don't want the pictures delete them from the page before you print it. How hard is that. Bonnie you do enough for us as is, I am keeping up with you but not much else is getting done. I can't wait to see how my fabric choices work out. If it is a bad quilt it will because I didn't have good fabric choices not because you didn't have a good pattern. Let's see what happens.
- Tricia said...
I posted something and it didn't show up so if it shows up later, I am sorry. Bonnie, you are fabulous and I for one so appreciate all you do for us. Your mysteries are sooo much fun, I love them! They make me stretch and grow in a way I wouldn't have tried on my own. I love that you encourage us to use all the little pieces we can't part with. I am afraid you are going to have to learn to ignore some of these people who want to be fed with a silver spoon. I always say "Those who do, do and those who don't...well they don't!"
Hey you have inspired my not so much for sewing daughter to make quilts for her two little boys. Thank you!
And now...Meridian Idaho???? Bonnie, I was raised in Boise, my husband in Meridian...stomping ground for us, why were you there? You know you are my age...did you go to school there? My mind races...
Thank you so much for all you do...I am going to post my color choices today for OTR....

After you take the pictures out of the text, can you come over and do some pressing of patches for me? I also have some vacuuming that needs to be done.
- Marianne said...
Oh goody, I have been hoping for some recent pictures of Chloe. She looks to be such a sweet girl. Does she still reside down in your sewing studio? Does she get along with Oscar?
Thsnks for the mystery quilt! - 12:31 PM EDT
- Genie said...
Hi Bonnie--Thanks for the best mystery yet! I just love it and appreciate everything that you do to keep us motivated.
One little thing, the link from pts 3 to 4 doesn't seem to be there. I got to part 4 from your e-mail link, however. Thanks again. Wanda Gene - 1:04 PM EDT
- Kelli Simone said...
Thanks for all that you do. While I haven't been able to start, I am saving the pdfs. Enjoy the holiday. ~ksp
- Suzan said...
Bonnie - I swannee, I don't know why you don't tear your hair out! Your level of patience is amazing. Thanks for the great mystery quilt. I don't have the time to do it right now but I have been following the progress. (I realize that means I am a cheater when I get around to doing it!)
- Dee said...
Bonnie, you rock, thank you for the mystery. Perhaps the people who want everything done for them would like to come over and make you a weeks worth of meals, and wash windows for you. (let it roll of your back). Again, thank you so much for not only the mysterys, but tutorials, free patterns on your web site, letting us share your quilting life, advise, and just generally being such a kind generous person. I am trying to work out seeing you in WA in 2009 - my niece lives there (I am from MN) Dee
- Donna Hodgson said...
I totally DITTO what Dee said above. Thanks so much. This IS great fun!
I may not wait until your next mystery quilt but dive into the ones you've already done and do them this way.
Thanks again. - 4:09 PM EDT
- Loris said...
Bonnie, This is a great mystery. Thanks so much for the fun time with it. Chloe is beautiful and I love seeing pics of your pets ( and quilts, too :-).
You are the best!

I have to second your request and offer my husband's experience to echo your feelings. He teaches at a community college, each week he gives out 10 questions for homework, printed on a sheet of paper. They also have class a Web site, but he must hand out all assignments on paper because not everyone has Internet access. One student asked if he could post the questions online so she didn't have to type the questions in, all 20 total sentences. He politely said, "Um, no." We laughed about it all the way home.
- Lori said...
Thanks for all the time you put into this mystery for us.
I bet Chloe didn't realize she was going to be a star, when she "followed" you home. She is lovely, so healthy and happy looking. - 5:07 PM EDT
- daisymum7 said...
Oh my some people just don't get it do they??? You oculd always take your curting mat inot the computer room and cut it out using the computer instead of wasting paper printing it at all. My son is going to put this one in a power point type thing so when my two girlfriends come over we can project it onto the wall in the dining room and use the instrucitons like that as we cut and sew. I think he is brilliant I wouldn't have thought of that!!
angela in Aus
PS; And of course becaue there are three of us doing it we will make some blocks of somehting else to send to you for your charity quilts anything in particular you want??? - 5:28 PM EDT
- daisymum7 said...
Oh I peaked at Part four even thougn I haven't started yet now I want to start straight away. Thank you Bonnie it is gorgeous!!!
Mine will be in spring colours as here is Australia it is the second day of spring.
So that means your book must be close - any news??
angela in Aus - 5:35 PM EDT
- Katie said...
Oh my goodness! Well I guess some people didn't think the printing process through. Good of you to point out the possibilities to them. :-)
I think OTR is a very attractive quilt and I'm trying to get all my thrifted shirts cut up so I can get started! I also had a "need" to go out and snap my own photo of the tobacco fields. Demon weed, but it sure is picturesque!
Thanks again! - 7:47 PM EDT
- Lori said...
Chloe's eyes suck me in. Thanks for another wonderful mystery.
Remember- Nothing is complete without a little cat/dog hair!lol - 7:05 AM EDT
- Beverley said...
Hi Bonnie, I have just read your whole blog from the start!! It took 3 days.
Thanks for all you do, I really love your quilts, and like reading about your life in Carolina.
Do you have any idea why the pictures in your Quiltville web site won't display on my computer? I do have the "display pictures" switched on, so I am mystified.
Beverley in Britain. - 7:32 AM EDT
- Nane said...
See it in person last night really made me want to try it....
- nannergirl said...
Thanks for OTR Bonnie! I live right near the beach so I'm using blues to represent the roads near me. We all really appreciate everything you do for us!
- bunks said...
I have to admit that Chloe reminds me of being part racoon with the black markings around her eyes.
Obviously she loves and trusts her mommy the way she's just lying there :)

Bonnie you are the Queen of Quiltland. You give us so much, and I love your mystery quilts. Sometimes I wonder though if these silly people who make silly requests will cause you to burn out. As others said, try and ignore them. You know the old bell curve, well they're the ones on the very, very end of the bell ie the minority. P.S. I'm working hard at trying to bring you to Canada to speak at our guild. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
- Sewbaby said...
HI Bonnie,
Thanks so much for sharing your talent and love of quilting free of charge with us! I appreciate everything you do....just having the pattern free of charge is a BIG gift...some people just ask for more and more.
Thanks for all you do!

Here are just a few of examples: The Sparks Drive Branch combined their dollars and brought treats to the employees at Clark Retirement Community. The Portage Branch pooled their money to buy a Biggby gift card to share with a member. The Account Department combined their dollars and someone in the department decided to match the total department donation. That led to another slew of matching donation offers within the department and soon, they had $60 to give to Kids' Food Basket. Kids' Food Basket matched donations that day making their total donation $120! Nice work team!

BCCI president Anurag Thakur has said the cricket Board has put on hold plans of hosting a 'mini IPL' in the USA, with T20 Internationals being seen as the preferred platform to reach out to the American market.
The main hurdle, according to Thakur, was the time zone difference.
"I think we must understand the time difference. IPL is seen in India from 7 o'clock to 11 or 11.30 at night. So you have to play somewhere in the east coast here (USA) so (that) the timing matches. If we have to play in the day here, the matches should be seen in India at night because broadcasting is a big thing. So you can't make your home fan lose (by) playing outside India. So which are the provinces you can play in United States? That's a big task," Thakur was quoted as saying by 'ESPNcricinfo'.
He added, "IPL, we are not even thinking of hosting it outside India. It has to be hosted in India, but there are many other options what you can do which we'll let you know over a period of time when we come out with a long-term plan for this market."
The BCCI had announced the idea of a 'mini IPL' or 'IPL overseas' in June when Thakur had said the board would host the tournament in September. A final approval was awaited though.
The USA and UAE were options being discussed at the IPL governing council and working committee meetings earlier this year.

This is a late 19th or early 20th century oil on canvas copy of a well known painting by one of the towering figures of the Hudson River School, ALBERT BIERSTADT. Unframed, the painting measures 12 1/2" by 19". There is no signature. Note the rich luminosity and the intense cloud effects as day ends. The trees at right are beautifully silhouetted against that red sky, while a waterfall at left and birds at lower left center complete the idyllic scene suggestive of "Manifest Destiny". The original painting was created by Bierstadt in 1864, and Louis Prang made a chromolithograph of the painting in 1868. The famously luminous work was often copied, by persons of various degrees of talent; this copyist I believe had above-average skills. Condition: clean, some minor edge losses especially at lower right, and a pinpoint tiny loss at center right. Put a gilt frame on this and you'll have a "Bierstadt" in your home or office that is a lot more affordable than the original might be. .

text: Why Drums Only Sound as Good as the Room They're InBryan Menegus8/23/16 11:59amFiled to: so can i play a 7/8 samba over this?drummerswhy are drummers weird?room toneacousticsdrumsaudio engineering6110EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalink GIF I've spent a fair bit of time in the company of drummers, and every last one has been a little bit weird. That level of independent limb coordination must do something to your neural circuitry. Some of them hide their strangeness... unless they get to talking about "room tone." Then they start describing sounds as boomy or dry or slappy and the secret is out. Advertisement Here's the thing: few tasks are more complicated for a studio engineer than recording drums—and drummers know this. Each individual piece of the kit gets its own mic (and sometimes more than one) and then there are ambient and overhead mics. For a typical kit, 12 or more mics is common. To make matters stranger, the way drums are heard in a room is rarely the way they're mixed in a recording. Listen to just about any album from the past 50 years: The snare and kick drums are usually made to sound like they're coming from straight ahead, even though the snare is almost always off to one side of the kit. Listen to which side the hi-hat is coming from: sometimes it's mixed from audience perspective, sometimes from drummer's perspective. Heavier rock music sometimes pans the high and low toms to opposite sides even though they're only inches apart on an actual drums set. Advertisement What makes all of it sound natural when it's mixed? Room tone*.Room tone is the glue that holds everything together, and which room drums are recorded in makes a world of difference. Take a listen below to drummer Alex Reeves playing the same track on the same kit in a variety of rooms. Identical drums that sound like wet cardboard in one space become cannon fire in another, all because of acoustic differences in the rooms. These are the sorts of things drummer have to think about, so cut them a little slack.*Also keeping mics in phase, a good mix engineer, and about a dozen other things but let's keep it simple here, shall we?Recommended Stories Ridiculous Contraption Takes All the Learning Out of Learning the Guitar Video Perfectly Skewers the Assholery of OK Go This Device Was the iPod of the 1970s (Sort Of)Bryan Menegus@BryanDisagreesSenior writer, internet culture and communitiesReply61 repliesLeave a reply

By Mackenzie Wright on
A popular fitness fanatic on Instagram announced she was pregnant. She posted pictures of her baby bump and showed off her body in her third trimester. When she checked her comments one night, she was shocked by the backlash she got.
Hannah Polites says her fans turned on her when she was pregnant. Many lashed out at her for not having too small a baby bump. They accused the fitness queen of unhealthy eating and putting her trim, tone frame ahead of her unborn child.
Polites said her unborn baby is 20% bigger than the average baby at that stage of development. Her baby has been given a clean bill of health by her doctor, and the expecting mother feels good keeping fit.
"It's truly shocking to read some of the comments regarding my health and that of my unborn baby, especially at a time where women are particularly vulnerable and can be more sensitive to bullying," said Polites.
Polites says she's 'making informed decisions when it comes to nutrition and exercise in pregnancy and motherhood' and feels good about her pregnancy is going. She's ignoring the nay-sayers and wants to see all women's bodies celebrated.
"I will continue to post photos of my body as I feel that it's important to be a positive role model in the community," said Polites.

Bluetooth speakers are more versatile than you might think. They've long been tied to simply playing music from your phone or tablet, but the uses go well beyond just that. Have you ever tried boosting your home entertainment center with an awesome Bluetooth speaker? Replacing your old, dated computer speakers with a new Bluetooth option? What about attaching a speaker to your bike?
Check out some of our favorite uses for Bluetooth speakers:
Many built-in television speakers are old and boring. They sound plain, lack bass and are sometimes just downright awful. Rather than buying an expensive sound bar or large surround sound system, a solid Bluetooth speaker can fit the bill quite nicely.
Of course the in-home use goes well beyond just your TV. You can also use a Bluetooth speaker to stream music (and sound for movies & games) from your smartphone, tablet or computer. You don't need a fancy setup with a receiver, tons of wires and big, bulky speakers. A Bluetooth speaker can sit almost anywhere and still fill up even the biggest rooms with amazing sound.
All you need to do it wirelessly stream music from your device using any number of sources — online services or your own personal music library. Setup is simple and you'll have great quality sound at your fingertips whenever you need it.
Many people have given up their cars in favor of simpler modes of transportation, and that means giving up some luxuries in the process. For those of you that ride a bike often — be it as part of your commute or just for a weekend cruise — you don't have to be without some amenities. While using a Bluetooth speaker for music at home may seem like a no-brainer, not many people consider using one on their bike as well. There are numerous options for this, but one of our favorites is the Sharkk 2o.
Outdoor speakers are a luxury that not everyone can afford. In addition to being expensive, they take a bit of know-how to get started. From wiring to mounting — not to mention connecting them to an expensive receiver — it can be a bit more of a project that some people might want to tackle.
For that, a Bluetooth speaker is the perfect solution. Not only do they not require any tricky setup or wiring, but you can put them wherever your outdoor party may be. There are also plenty of weatherproof options available that will stay safe from the elements in case weather isn't cooperating.
The Sharkk Mako is the perfect solution for those long summer nights outside. The Mako has amazing battery life to keep you rocking out for hours on the patio or by the pool, and with its IP67 waterproof rating, you don't even have to worry about it getting wet — you can even take it to the beach!
If you're a frequent traveler, you may be the type of person that likes to bring along some comforts of home while you're on the road. Sure, having a great set of headphones for a long ride or flight is on top of the list, but what about a sweet speaker for those lonely nights in a hotel room? Taking a portable Bluetooth speaker along for the ride can help you unwind after a long day of travel. After all, there's no reason you should have to sacrifice great sound just because your smartphone speakers aren't up to snuff.
If you're traveling for work (or even if you're staying local) you can use many Bluetooth speakers for conference calling as well. Many speakers have built-in microphones on their list of features, making them easy to use for conference calls at home or in the office. Everyone can hear the conversation clearly through the speaker itself, and the internal microphone lets everyone talk as needed, with no muffled sound on the other end. The Sharkk Boombox is perfect for this use.
Be sure to check out all of the great Bluetooth speaker offerings from Sharkk, and leave a comment below letting us know which Sharkk speaker is your favorite!

The Voyagin team has screened this host. Learn more
This is a two day tour starting from your hotel in the morning , and ending the next day in late afternoon or evening.
We will search for king cobras and other wildlife, including porcupines, birds, other snakes, lizards and civet cats
First we visit our depot to see any reptiles that we have rescued that week plus any snakes that require hospitalisation or treatment.
Then, its off to find king cobras in Western Bali. The travel takes between two and four hours depending on which locations we visit first.
After enjoying the afternoon searching, we will book into a hotel and get ready to spend the evening hunting for both kings and other wildlife.
Next morning, its back looking for kings again before heading home.
These tours are designed for both keen wildlife lovers and also for people who have never even seen wildlife before
Nowhere else on Earth gives the opportunity to get up close and personal with wild king cobras like we can. So far we have never missed out on finding at least one wild king on these tours
This is because we know the locations of the hunting areas and nesting sites of several kings now and our guides are the best in the business
King Cobra country is usually jungle with bamboo thickets and plenty of running water, so a reasonable level of fitness is required.
Important Information
People of all ages are invited to join, though a reasonable level of fitness is required.
Please book at least 2 weeks in advance so that we can make the necessary preparations. This includes conducting research on the snake's current locations to increasing your chances of sighting more cobras.
What you need to bring
Long pants, covered shoes, and a change of clothes.

- Bahasa Indonesia (Fluent)
Hello, my name is Shinta and I'm the director of Bali Reptile Rescue
We are a nonprofit that provides free snake removal and reptile education services in Bali, all proceeds from our tours go towards protecting and rescuing these snakes from being killed by people and releasing them back into the jungles. Come join me on one of my reptile tours and prepare for an unforgettable adventure.
There is only a very small group of us but we have over 60 years between us experience in saving reptiles and other wildlife. That experience lets us know exactly how to make the best wildlife related tours...

King cobra and other snakes trekking
It was a great experience! Immediatly after first search we found a Javan spitting cobra.
In the evening we continued and found serveral snakes like blue krait, bronzeback, reticulated python, white-banded wolfsnake and white lipped island pitviper. But the absolute highlight of the trekking was to come in contact with a big 12 feet long king next day! -
A whirlwind of a trip. If you're a snake lover and in Bali don't miss it. Be ready to go with the flow because there isn't a solid schedule and Peter doesn't really tell you all his plans. You'll learn a lot about snakes, Bali and any other wildlife you're interested in.

40 Classification and Prioritization Shaping policies are configured by the user using a point and click central policy console, and then distributed to the WiseWans WiseWans use advanced protocol and application decoding to classify the traffic in wire speed and determine if shaping is necessary Traffic to be shaped will be queued by priorities WiseWan releases the frames back at line speed, but different order - according to policy Low priority sessions will be delayed and slowed down, high priority sessions will be accelerated
41 Traffic Classification Applications and Protocol Support for more than 700 protocols and applications, including recognition of some applications using dynamic ports, user defined applications, and application header information – Citrix Published apps, Oracle information, HTTP URL and MIME type Direction Server and Client Host Source and destination: Hosts, networks, IP subnets and user groups, by defining their IP or IPX address Schedule Time of day, day of week Circuit Line or DLCI that the policy needs to be applied on
42 WiseWan Policy
43 Traffic Shaping Traffic shaping actions: Prioritization - the priority level of the rule by using the 6- level slider. The range is: Pass through, High, Medium- High, Medium, Low, and Block. Pass through allows data to be transmitted with highest priority with no constraints. Block prevents all data from being transmitted Bandwidth guarantee - minimum amount of bandwidth that this conversation/class should be guaranteed to Bandwidth limit - maximum amount of bandwidth consumption that you want this conversation/class to consume DiffServ Tagging – overwrite the DiffServ tag with a custom tag based on it's calssification
44 WiseWan Bandwidth Policy Editor
45 Shaping Per PVC The Shaping Per PVC functionality allows WiseWan to guarantee bandwidth for congested PVCs regardless of the overall line congestion All WiseWan NAPS systems are defined by default for shaping per PVC. How Shaping Works - The user defines the Committed Information Rate (CIR) and the Maximum Information Rate (MIR) for each DLCI Shaping is triggered when traffic utilization on the PVC reaches ~85% of the MIR, and shaping stops when utilization drops below 60% Limits always work
46 WiseWan Shaping per PVC
