Peyton Manning, Denver Broncos Move Closer to Clinching the AFC West
November 29, 2012 – 9:30 am by Eric SchmoldtThe Denver Broncos pushed their winning streak to six games on Sunday, despite the fact that a 17-9 victory in Kansas City didn't look all that pretty. Still, quarterback Peyton Manning and the Broncos could potentially wrap up an AFC West title this weekend when they play Tampa Bay.
Peyton Manning joined KOA in Denver with Dave Logan to discuss his experience in playing Tampa Bay in the past, a late-game drive to put away the Kansas City Chiefs this past weekend and what he's seen in 1,000-yard receiver Demaryius Thomas.
On his experience with the Colts playing against Tampa Bay:
"I played against them twice. Obviously last year our team played them; I didn't play. It's really kind of a different team. They have a new coaching staff and he's really kind of brought his coaching mentality to their team. You really see them playing with an aggressive, physical style. Their defense is very opportunistic, stout against the run. They cause a lot of turnovers."
On putting together a six-minute drive to finish off a somewhat ugly victory over Kansas City:
"It was a big drive for us. It was a mix of some runs and passes. Knowshon got us started with a good run, a good, positive run. We got a first down, second down, first down. It's always nice if you get a little flow. Those two series before we were three-and-out, and so it's nice to get a little rhythm there, and then hit Demaryius with two third-down conversions, which really, essentially, put the game away."
Just what kind of receiver is Demaryius Thomas?:
"He's a receiver with just a tremendous amount of talent. The needle is just pointing upward. I just want to see him continue to improve like I know he can. That's a great start. He and I talked the other day. A thousand yards is not the barrier for him. He has higher goals and we have higher standards for him on that, especially in a 16-game season. … But his size and his speed are very rare. There's certain things he can do that other guys can't do."

Dee and Pam, our Portage Home Visitor and Inclusion Officer, have been in cahoots. Their concern is that the respite we receive is effectively temporary respite and can stop, as I previously mentioned, when funding runs out after 16 weeks, never to be given again. They think Sophia and I need a longer term solution to our respite issues and have asked me to consider going onto the Social Services side of Social Care who look after children and families until the child reaches adulthood (this has recently changed to be up to the age of 23) instead of being under the Early Years pre-school team. The advantage of going over to Social Services is that the respite that they cover is ongoing and whilst meetings are held every year or so to revue the respite in place, it doesn't need to be reapplied for continuously if the social worker and team involved deem it necessary. It does, however, mean that Pam will no longer be working with us, even though as an Inclusion Officer, she works with both pre-school and school age children, but comes fundamentally through the Early Years team.
It sounds like a very sensible option for me to follow, although I will miss Pam as she has been a real pleasure to know since becoming involved with Sophia. Dee and she have had to put a case together to highlight my need and it's strange, whilst I know I'm coping extremely well, I do reeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaalllllllllly need the respite to continue into the future.
Archie, our prospective Social Worker, rang me to arrange a meet up. He came to the house to see Sophia in her home setting and meet with me and see how I'm getting on. He's so young, I could be his mother! But he came across as a truly lovely, conscientious and caring person. I, however, must have come across as too capable because his report on our meeting was far too positive to merit my being on his case-load. Dee and Pam stepped in, saying that yes, I am coping, but that I need the ongoing respite to ensure that I continue coping so well. Thank you, thank you, thank you, ladies!
And so it is agreed. Archie will be our Social Worker and look after our social care needs, signposting us for the most appropriate help and guidance where applicable etc., and I will receive ongoing respite for Sophia from Dee and in holidays I will be able to have Dee look after Sophia for a whole day in order that I can spend the day with James.
It's a funny thing, there is often so much stigma attached to having a Social Worker, as if it's a sign that you're a bad parent. Plus, there are the horror stories that you hear about on the news when things go horrendously wrong. But I absolutely believe that Archie has Sophia's best interests at heart and I'm pleased to welcome him onto the Team.

The Andy Warhol Museum just finished a beautiful renovation of their first floor that is more welcoming to visitors to just hang out. There is two new windows, all new furniture, 20 new monitors that displays footage including visitor's screen tests, an actual reproduction of the couch from Warhol's Silver Factory, a new enlargement of William John Kennedy's Homage to Warhol's Marilyn and increased retail space for The Warhol Store.
I saw some of the construction happening when I visited for a photo shoot and the results are pretty stunning. I think it's great that they are paying homage to the original Silver Factory. Warhol director Eric Shiner states, "We have always wanted to make The Warhol more welcoming for our visitors and community members. Through the generous support of several local foundations we have finally been able to rethink the museum's first floor as a social hub in line with Andy Warhol's famous Silver Factory. The Factory was a space where high and low, rich and poor, black and white, gay and straight came together as one."

As officials prepare to discuss the results of a Colorado Bureau of Investigation review of the All Crimes Enforcement Team drug task force, a second independent inquiry into the Craig Police Department continues.
The city hired Timothy Leary, a former captain and commander of the Denver Police Metro/SWAT Bureau, in November to research the police department's internal affairs investigation of former detective Ken Johnson, as well as the department's general policies, procedures and code of conduct.
Johnson resigned in September and was arrested later that month. He was charged with three felonies in October and is scheduled for a jury trial May 24 in Moffat County District Court.
Leary's appointment came shortly after some Craig City Council members openly questioned the police department's investigation into Johnson in March, which was ultimately ruled inconclusive.
Johnson remained on active duty with the department until late August, when a second investigation by the 14th Judicial District Attorney's Office began to yield evidence alleging Johnson broke the law while involved in a sexual relationship with a local woman convicted of drug use and distribution.
The city has not set a cap on how much to pay Leary for his services, opting to pay him $90 an hour plus other fees for the review.
City Manager Jim Ferree said Leary has submitted $3,882.60 in bills for November and December.
Leary is reporting directly to Ferree on all matters relating to his inquiry. The city manager said so far the review has focused on the department's internal affairs investigation of Johnson, including reviews of transcripts made during Craig Police Commander Jerry DeLong's interviews with police officials and others.
Leary has not submitted a report of any findings as of yet, Ferree said.
Now that the CBI's separate review of ACET is completed, however, the city council and regional law enforcement plan to host a public workshop to discuss its findings.
The meeting is scheduled to begin at 5:30 p.m. Jan. 12 at Craig City Hall, 300 W. Fourth St.
The CBI agent assigned to review ACET is scheduled to attend, along with members of the ACET board, which includes Craig Police Chief Walt Vanatta, Moffat County Sheriff Tim Jantz, Steamboat Springs Police Chief J.D. Hays, Hayden Police Chief Ray Birch and District Attorney Elizabeth Oldham.
Ferree said Leary was invited to also discuss his investigation, but will be unable to attend.
Collin Smith can be reached at 875-1794 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

EU Think Tank Urges Full Windows Unbundling 712
leffeman writes "An influential Brussels think tank is urging the European Commission to ban the bundling of operating systems with desktop and laptop computers. The Globalisation Institute's submission to the Commission says that bundling 'is not in the public interest' and that the dominance of Windows has 'slowed technical improvements and prevented new alternatives entering from the marketplace.' It says the Microsoft tax is a burden on EU businesses: the price of operating systems would be lower in a competitive market. This is the first time a major free-market think tank has published in favour of taking action against Microsoft's monopoly power."

The University of Miami School of Law, founded in 1926, is the law school of the University of Miami, located in Coral Gables, Florida, in the United States. The school graduated its first class of 13 students in 1929.[3]
According to University of Miami's 2015 ABA-required disclosures, 61.6% of the Class of 2013 obtained full-time, long-term, JD-required employment nine months after graduation, excluding solo practitioners.[4]
From 1948 to 2002, the law school had an evening division for part-time students.[5] Starting in 1952, the school started offering an LL.M. degree in taxation.[5] In 1957, UM began to offer an LL.M. in Inter-American Law, and the Masters of Comparative Law (now an LL.M.) was first offered in 1959. In 1998, the school decided to reduce the size of its entering JD classes by 15 percent.[5]
The University of Miami School of Law also offers extensive "Public Interest Programs" and opportunities, including the "Center for Ethics and Public Service" that offers in-house clinics and educational programs including the "Children and Youth Law Clinic", "Health and Elder Law Clinic", and "Corporate & Professional Responsibility Program". The HOPE Public Interest Resource Center at the University of Miami School of Law gives students the opportunity to get involved in over 25 different projects each year, reaching various underserved and at-risk populations locally, nationally, and abroad.
The school also offers several official joint-degree programs (in, among other things, business, public health and marine affairs),[6] including seven LL.M. programs for post-graduate-level law study. The "Academic Achievement Program" provide participating students additional tools to succeed in law school. Other special programs at the law school include four Summer Abroad Programs, one each in England and Spain and two involving multiple European nations (Greece, Italy, and England) and (Greece, Italy, and Spain).[7]
The University of Miami School of Law is the host of the annual "Heckerling Institute on Estate Planning," a conference for estate planning professionals. The law school also hosts an annual symposium for psychology, public policy, and law.
For 2016, U.S. News & World Report ranked the law school 60th.[8] U.S. News & World Report also ranked the University of Miami School of Law within the top 20 schools that incur the highest average debt.
The University of Miami School of Law is located on the main campus of the University of Miami in Coral Gables, just six miles southeast of Miami, the 7th largest metropolitan area in the nation. The School of Law is centered around a central courtyard called the "Bricks." The Law Library has a collection of over 600,000 volumes in print and microform, and subscribes to a large and ever-expanding list of electronic resources.[9]
The University of Miami campus is served by the Miami Metrorail at the University Station.
Due to the size of the faculty, the University of Miami School of Law is able to provide an extensive curriculum selection for second- and third-year students. First-year students take a series of required courses covering the theory and substance of the law while exploring the political, commercial, and social dimensions of legal institutions. In addition to the required courses, first-year students also are permitted to choose one elective in their second semester.
Law students at the University of Miami have the opportunity to combine their J.D. degrees with master's degrees in business administration, communications, music business, public health, or marine affairs. There is also a joint J.D./LL.M. program where students can complete both degrees in seven semesters in the areas of taxation, international law, international arbitration, ocean and coastal law, and real property development.

Student activities[edit]
The school offers students the opportunity to compete for membership on both the Charles C. Papy, Jr. Moot Court Board and the International Moot Court Board. Both boards make up Miami's Moot Court Board which is currently ranked 14th in the nation.[10] The Charles C. Papy Moot Court Board hosts a Negotiation Competition, Mock Trial Competition, Fall and Spring C. Clyde Atkins Advanced Moot Court Competitions, and the John T. Gaubatz Competition. Also, the board participates in numerous inter-school competitions across the country. Most recently, the Charles C.

The law school hosts a pre-moot for the Willem C. Vis International Commercial Arbitration Moot each spring which attracts schools from Europe, Central and South America. In 2011, the International Moot Court Board took home a 2nd-place finish at the ICC Moot in The Hague, winning two of the top three oralist awards.[12] The strength of the law school's International Arbitration department has enabled the International Moot Court Board to achieve a string of successes in Arbitration competitions in the past few years. This past year, the International Moot Court Board was able to win 1st place in their first appearance in the Frankfurt Investment Arbitration Moot Court competition held in Frankfurt, Germany.[13] Moreover, the Board's team for the Willem C. Vis International Commercial Arbitration Moot, held in Vienna, Austria, has consistently taken home "Honorable Mentions" for Best Oralist over the last four years and finished a personal best 14th out of 252 schools in 2010.[14]

The Student Bar Association, ("S.B.A."), serves as the law school's student government and works closely with the faculty and administration to improve student life on the campus. The S.B.A. also acts as a conduit to the American Bar Association, and the school's S.B.A. President and the elected A.B.A. Representative serve as delegates to the national convention of S.B.A. Presidents and A.B.A. Representatives at the A.B.A. annual meeting.- The Law School also has a student-run Honor Council, which investigates and adjudicates alleged violations of the Honor Code of the School of Law. It is chaired by the Honor Council President.

My husband's blood sugar has risen this past year and now is at the level where the doctor wants him to watch his intake of anything that will raise his blood sugar, Problem is we do not know what foods to avoid, outside the obvious ones of cakes and cookies. Would appreciate some advice.
I was really surprised to find out which foods were ones to avoid. If you Google Glycemic index - it is really easy to find reliable information on the Internet. The biggest surprise for me was that some of the foods that are really high are fruits and some vegetables.(What can I say? I was never very good at science) I guess with all the sources telling you fruits and vegetables are healthy - it never occurred to me. Fruit juices are generally very high. Some vegetables that are high on the GI are carrots and peppers. And next - many carbs - especially white flour type carbs - are high too. http://www.glycemicindex.com/ Try that link for a start.
Try eating foods that have a low glycemic load. The less processed food is, the lower its GL is likely to be. Here's a link to a page about the glycemic index, which is similar to the glycemic load except that it doesn't take into account the amount of carbs being consumed (the GI is actually used in the calculation of the GL).
Get rid of all white flours. Only eat whole wheat bread, whole wheat pasta, etc. Avoid hidden fake sugars in things you hadn't imagined. High fructose corn syrup can turn up in the weirdest places. I would just avoid HFCS in general. I would also schedule a meeting with a diabetic dietician. Call you doctor to see if he knows one. If you eat out a lot, get one of those guides that shows nutritional facts for restaurants, and try to avoid high-carbohydrate meals. In general, try not to eat anything that is processed. Whole, real food only.
My mom has become a borderline diabetic due to the wonders of genetics and she basically eats lean proteins (chicken, fish, etc), vegetables (mostly dark greens), and whole grains. She avoids white bread, potatoes, any kind of dessert, saturated fats like butter and bacon, corn, etc. She also limits her fruit intake.
I have heard that it is better to eat a fruit or berries as a snack between the meals and not directly after a meal. Also it is better to eat less and eat several times per day. The goal is to keep the blood sugar level even.
^^This. A dietician will give you a target/max carbs to hit at each meal and a limit for the day. You should actually be looking more at total carb count as opposed to just the sugar content. Fiber is very important- it factors into the carb counting. If something has 25g carbs, and 0g fiber, it is counted as 25g of carbs toward your daily total. If, however, you eat something with 25g carbs and 5g fiber, it counts as only 20g carbs. Essentially, you subtract the number of fiber grams from the carbs to calculate. Agree that you need to switch to whole grain products and significantly limit (or eliminate) white flour products.
Your doctor didn't discuss this with you or recommend a nutritionist? There is plenty of advice online but plenty of that advice is wrong, as well. I would go speak to a nutritionist if your insurance will cover it.
I agree that your husband should see a nutritionist or doctor. (Also ask them to recommend a good book.) Most vegetables and even a lot of fruits are fine in moderation because of the fiber. (Juices are a different story.) Under doctor's orders, my sister got her diabetes under control with diet. She was eating more fruit and vegetables than she was before, though she basically hadn't been eating any fruit or vegetables before. She had been a junk food junkie -- lots of bad carbs.
Another thing to do is not eat a snack or meal that is mostly or all carbs but to make sure you always have protein, carbs and fat in every meal/snack. That's what Mr. Mac's dietician told him when he was diagnosed with diabetes last month.
My husband was diagnosed at a type II diabetic about 18 months ago. Our family doctor arranged for him to attend a clinic with dieticians (etc) who are diabetic savvy. I attended the first meeting where they explained what a type II diabetic is, about counting carbs, being on meds, what to watch for when eating, etc. etc. etc. Now my mom had been diagnosed as "borderline" diabetic so I asked these experts what that meant. I was told that there is no such thing as an actual borderline diabetic but what is usually meant is that the readings are on the high side of normal. My best advice, find a nutritionist who is diabetes savvy and make an initial appointment to see where you need to go from there. With my husband, he can eat pretty much anything but we are both trying to each a bit healthier for both our sakes. He's on the low end of meds and as long as he exercises for at least 20 minutes a day (usually in the evening after we have supper), his numbers are good. In fact, the aviation people think his morning numbers are a bit low and were concerned he might pose a problem so ... he took readings after he ate and showed those to the same people.
Except if you are "pre" diabetic or "borderline" diabetic, your liver is already getting its beta cells killed off. By the time you get diagnosed as Type II diabetic, you've lost around 50% of your beta cells. And they can't grow back. Really what it means to be pre-diabetic or borderline diabetic is that you have diabetes but the medical community isn't willing to treat you for it yet. There is actually a move to change the criteria and what is considered a normal range so that pre-diabetics are diagnosed as diabetics and get treatment earlier. I'm all for that as I was somewhat appalled to find out that Mr. Mac had spent years losing beta cells just because no one was willing to call him a diabetic.
I'm Type 2 and other than the excellent advice given above, perhaps invest in Better Homes and Gardens Diabetic Living magazine. It's the only magazine out there for Diabetics on the news stands and it's got excellent tips in it for both Types 1 and 2. Also awesome recipes and because it's Better Homes and Gardens, you *know* they've been tested w/in an inch of their life. It's been a great asset to me and I can't reccomend it enough to those who are newly diagnoised. Good luck to you and your husband.
Thank you for all your advice, my husband is also going to make an appointment with an endocrinologist.
My husband is borderline diabetic. His brother was Type I, his mother type II, and there are other type II's in the family. Basically we follow a diabetic diet, which is good for both of us at this stage of our lives. There are lots of cookbooks available for diabetics. Most of them give a lot of information about food choices and eating habits. Seeing an endocrinologist is great. I hope your husband is referred to a diabetic clinic.
Here's a tip for you, if your husband likes potatoes. Hot, baked (dry) potatoes do have a high glycemic load. The wetter, boiling kinds (usually reds) have a MUCH lower glycemic index, and if you let them cool, the starch actually changes form to a resistant starch, which is a form of soluble fibre, which is very very good for you, and the potato has a much lower glycemic index. We are doing a lot of research on Potato starch qualities at my workplace and it is really interesting. It's also true for other starchy foods like rice, that some of the starch becomes resistant starch when cooled.
What should I be looking for, foods that are low in carbs or low in sugar? All the whole wheat pastas I saw had the same number of carbs as regular pasta.
Whole wheat or refined, they both have the same amount of sugars and starches. Carbs and sugar are both what you are trying to limit. They both increase the glycemic index of food (actually, sugar is a kind of carb, that's why it might be confusing you). By the way- cold pasta is like potatoes, it has some of it's carbs cool into resistant starch.
You should focus on the carb content as well as the fiber. Look at the grams of fiber and subtract that nuymber from the amount of carbs per serving. This will give you your net carbs for a particular food. My father was given the following target numbers for each meal: 40 carbs for breakfast 40-60 carbs for lunch 40-60 carbs for dinner Two snacks- each with no more than 20 carbs He switched to Pepperidge Farm "Carb Style" wheat bread, and generally uses whole grain products. Lots of veggies. The trick is finding food that fills him up. Yes, he can eat pizza, for example, but generally only a slice or so before he goes over his limit for the meal. Not really filling. I want to stress that THESE ARE HIS NUMBERS!!! Your husband needs to see a specialist to be put on a program that works for him. I hope with diet and exercise he can turn this around. Good luck!!
Lots of info about Type 2 diabetes and recipes here: http://robin-ellis.net/ For those who remember the BBC series "Poldark", it's the website of Robin Ellis who played Ross Poldark. He's published a book of recipes for diabetic and posts lots of interesting snippets about his current life in the French countryside.
I recommend that you read up a bit on the paleo/paleolithic diet, I'm not familiar with English language resources on this subject, so here are just two sample hits (Like this one http://paleodietlifestyle.com/ or this one http://altmed.creighton.edu/Paleodiet/Details.html) or a blog intended for diabetes and paleo diet specifically http://paleodiabetic.com/2011/11/06/ucsf-investigating-paleolithic-diet-for-diabetics/ The idea (very simplified) is that we are genetically most suited to consume foods that have been consumed for many many thousands of years before "civilization" ie. to eat the same way as cavemen. In practical terms, a strict paleo diet completely excludes all grains, dairy and legumes (and of course all processed foods) which leaves lean meats tons of vegetables, some fruit (some fruits are very high in sugars thouhgh) and good fats, so the end result is a low carb (and enjoyable) diet. It's not necessarily something that has to be followed to the letter IMO, but it's very much worth to explore the research behind it and adapt to this lifestyle somewhat, it seems to work wonders for a lot of people and there's research to support that it very much helps with type 2 diabetes. (eg. http://www.ucsf.edu/news/2010/05/59...l-heart-disease-kidney-risks-paleolithic-diet)
I don't think I could follow the paleo diet although I sort of tend in that direction in that I cook a lot of roasts meats and make meat soups from scratch (for example, the broth bath I roast a turkey in is a good base for quite a few soups). I don't care for frozen prepared meals or most packaged foods just because I find don't like how they taste. Ditto fast foods - I don't like the fat they are cooked in. I don't worry about fat too much, too be honest. If I roast a chicken, I eat the skin. For cooking, I prefer olive oil to butter. All that said, I don't eat meat every day. I do like cheese though, as an alternative. My first question about this diet is its inclusion of butter. Hunter gathers did not eat butter, it was an agricultural product that was first produced at about the same time as cheese. Milk would probably have been the first dairy product, before butter. If butter is okay, milk and cheese could arguably be as well. Plus, just because hunter gathers didn't eat legumes and grains doesn't mean that grains and legumes are unhealthy. The introduction of these food products into the human diet improved health and life expectancy. Hunter gatherers used to hunt their meat, which was hard and dangerous work. When game was scarce, many died. Since we don't hunt and gather anymore, we don't need need to eat as if we do. Aboriginals used to make and store pemmican - a mix of fat and berries - to get them through the lean season. I'd love some of that every day for breakfast, but am not so sure it's a good idea.
Actually this diet is based on a movie-version of what paleo man ate. There were already some villages were limited agriculture was going on during the paleo time and their diet varied quite a bit based on geography. In some parts of the world, they consumed dairy! On top of that, there have been some major gene shifts since those times including one that specifically gave us a better ability to digest dairy and grains. It's processed foods that are relatively new on the food chain and we haven't really adapted well to yet because it's been such a short time.
I would recommend seeing a nutritionist about this, to figure out meal plans. Just off the top of my head, whole grains, veggies, fruit are good (that's true even if you don't have Diabetes). Small amounts of desserts can still be eaten (e.g. a small mint after a meal), but you have to be very disciplined about it. Like any diet, an occasional slip won't hurt that much, as long as it is only occasional. Fruits have sugar. Fructose is better than white sugar, but it still is a sugar, so the amount needs to be controlled. A balanced meal and regular moderate exercise (more than anything else) is the key to controlling blood glucose.
MacMadame--no introducing accurate history and physiology into the world of fad diets! Next you'll be suggesting that hygiene improved health! And I know some people who have stopped bathing because it is natural that do not want to hear that! (Seriously, I know a couple who no longer bath or even wash their hands because ancient people allegedly did not and they were allegedly healthier--it is pretty gross!)
I'm glad someone recommended the paleo diet. I myself have been doing a version of the paleo diet for almost a year. It's called the primal blueprint and the main difference with paleo is that it includes dairy. I really recommend checking this out - the diet may seem a little extreme at first but once you get used to it, it is easy and enjoyable. I don't have any diabetes issues, but my health improved noticeably and I lost a lot of weight with it. Since it's a low carb diet, a large number of people who follow it have reported that their diabetes disappeared or became a lot more manageable. Here's their guide to diabetes: http://www.marksdailyapple.com/diabetes/ And here's the quick guide to what you should eat and not eat: http://www.marksdailyapple.com/introducing-the-new-primal-blueprint-food-pyramid/
You want to look at carbs and fiber, but primarily at carbs. Whole wheat pasta and white pasta will have the same amount of carbohydrates. However, the carbs in the whole wheat pasta are significantly more complex than the refined carbs of the white pasta. Therefore, it takes longer to digest, and his bloodsugar won't spike. White flour will cause blood sugar to spike very quickly.
I had gestational diabetes while pregnant and had to meet with a nutritionist/CDE. What worked to keep my numbers down: 1. Avoid milk & fruit in the morning. 2. Breakfast needed to have the lowest carb count & was usually one slice of buttered toast with 1-2 eggs. 3. Eat a mid-morning and mid-afternoon snack that had a healthy balance of carbs/protein/fat. Some of my staples were string cheese & nuts; half a protein bar; greek or icelandic yogurt; 1 piece of fruit with peanut butter; fresh veggies with ranch dip; mini-antipasti plate; tuna/chicken salad with crackers. 4. Limiting fruit to two servings per day, preferably citrus or berries. 5. Portion controlled lunches & dinners, especially with regard to carb portions. I could eat white rice, pasta, etc., but it had to be only 1/3 -1/2 a cup. 6. Exercising 15-20 minutes after dinner. 7. BEDTIME SNACK. It seemed counterintuitive for me to eat when I wasn't hungry, but my fasting AM sugars were always highest when I skipped my nighttime snack. 4-6oz of skim milk was the best for me. 8. Make sure to stay well hydrated. Fortunately my numbers returned to normal after I delivered, but I'm still at a greater risk to develop type 2 because of it. I don't eat exactly like this anymore, but I'm still mindful of carbs and always try to maintain a higher protein diet.
This is what I don't get. Ancient humans had a lifespan of something like 35 years. Of course they weren't healthier! Now, I do think that we have strayed from some healthy habits. We eat too much processed foods, too big portions, and we are too obsessed with germs. (As a society, not as individuals, of course). But some people romanticize the past too much, if you ask me.
They had a lifespan of 35 years mostly because they got killed by the game they were hunting, or broke a leg and died of infection etc. Their short lifespans were due accident, starvation or infection, not diabetes, heart attacks or cholesterol - and have you ever seen a fat man in cave paintings??

Turn cream cheese and raspberry jam sandwiches into impressive French toast. If you like, substitute peanut butter for the cream cheese and use whatever jams you like. Or try using French bread and mascarpone cheese! Watch the video, then get ELISAW's top-rated recipe for Stuffed French Toast II. Top with maple syrup and a generous sprinkling of powdered sugar.
this looks sssssooooo yummy i think ill try it soon :-)
Oh this has my name all over it, for sure I'll be making this, will probably melt the raspberry jam down and pour it over the top instead of maple syrup.....there goes the diet...
Almond extract is a stronger flavor than vanilla. I would use both. Also, 5 eggs for 4 sandwiches is way more than needed.

Cancers of the head and neck account for 3 percent of all malignancies in the United States.1 According to Cancer Facts & Figures 2012, there were an estimated 80,500 new cases of head and neck cancers diagnosed in the United States. Head and neck cancer deaths totaled 15,700 in 2012. Most head and neck cancers begin in the cells that line the mucosal surfaces in the head and neck area, e.g., mouth, nose, and throat. Mucosal surfaces are moist tissues lining hollow organs and cavities of the body open to the environment. Normal mucosal cells look like scales (squamous) under the microscope, so head and neck cancers are often referred to as squamous cell carcinomas. Some head and neck cancers begin in other types of cells. For example, cancers that begin in glandular cells are called adenocarcinomas. Cancers of the head and neck are further identified by the area in which they begin: (More)Understanding Head and Neck CancerCommonly Asked Questions

Abstract: | While the Emissions Database for Global Atmospheric Research (EDGAR) focuses on global estimates for the full set of anthropogenic activities, the Land-Use, Land-Use Change and Forestry (LULUCF) sector might be the most diverse and most challenging to cover consistently for all world countries. Parties to UNFCCC are required to provide periodic estimates of GHG emissions, following the latest approved methodological guidance by the International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). The aim of the current study is comparing the IPCC GPG 2003 and the IPCC AFOLU 2006 by calculating the C stock changes in living forest biomass, and then using computed results to extend the EDGAR database. For this purpose, we applied the IPCC Tier 1 method at global level, i.e. using spatially coarse activity data (i.e. area, obtained combining two different global forest maps: the Global Land Cover map and the eco-zones subdivision of the GEZ Ecological Zone map) in combination with the IPCC default C stocks and C stock change factors. Results for the C stock changes were calculated separately for Gains, Harvest, Net Deforestation and Fires (GFED3), for the years 1990, 2000, 2005 and 2010. At the global level, results obtained with the two set of IPCC guidance differed by about 40%, due to different assumptions and default factors. The IPCC Tier 1 method unavoidably introduced high uncertainties due to the "globalization" of parameters. When the results using IPCC AFOLU 2006 for Annex I countries are compared to other international datasets (UNFCCC, FAO) or scientific publications, it emerges a significant overestimation of the sink. For developing countries, we conclude that C stock change in forest remaining forest can hardly be estimated with Tier 1 method. Overall, confronting the IPCC 2003 and 2006 methodologies we conclude that IPCC 2006 suits best the needs of EDGAR and provide a consistent global picture of C stock changes in living forest biomass independent of country estimates. |

Andrew Carmellini's Green Grits
According to Andrew Carmellini's new cookbook American Flavor, his Northern upbringing doesn't exactly give him license to mess around with a Southern staple like grits. But lucky for us, he decided to go ahead and tackle them anyway.
In his recipe for Green Grits, Carmellini treats them in a similar fashion to polenta or risotto, using the grain as a jumping off point for a satisfying side that's filled with fresh herbs, cheese, and yes, plenty of butter.
The green here comes from scallions, cilantro, and bright and spicy canned green chiles all buzzed together before being stirred into the creamy grits. Once finished with a few more tablespoons of butter, grated cheddar and Parmesan, these grits great with just about anything from fried eggs and bacon for breakfast to pulled pork or even chili later on in the day.
As always with our Cook the Book feature, we have five (5) copies of American Flavor to give away this week.

- Yield:serves 4 to 6 as a side dish
- Active time: 15 minutes
- Total time:25 minutes
- Rated:
- 1 1/2 cups whole milk
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon fresh-ground black pepper
- 1 cup grits
- 1 heaping cup fresh cilantro leaves
- One 4-ounce can diced green chiles (preferably Hatch brand, fire-roasted)
- 6 green onions, chopped (about 1/2 cup)
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup grated sharp cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Combine the milk and 21/2 cups of water in a medium-sized pot, and bring the mixture up to a simmer over medium-high heat.
Mix in the salt and pepper. Then whisk in the grits, pouring them in slowly and whisking continuously until they're smooth, with no lumps. The grits should look a little like oatmeal, only finer.
Turn the heat down to medium-low and keep cooking, whisking regularly so nothing sticks.
Meanwhile, combine the cilantro leaves, diced green chiles, and green onions in a food processor and pulse for 30 seconds or so, until everything is finely chopped.
When the grits have cooked through and thickened, pull the pot off the heat and add the cilantro mixture. Whisk everything together so the grits turn green. Then add the butter and whisk again, so the butter melts in.
Whisk in the grated cheddar and Parmesan cheeses. Serve it up hot.

Well, my request for a New Zealand Motorcycle Atlas has not gotten many replies, so hopefully this one will. We are planning to be in NZ late Jan through early Feb 2013 and I am seeking input on lodging in a few specific areas. We are looking for multi night lodging reccomendations in Gisborne, on the north island, the Takaka/Abel Tasman Park area and Queenstown on the south island. We are 4 adults and are looking for lodging that is nice and clean, fairly economical ($100 - $150 NZ a couple/night) but all suggestions are welcome. Also, any reccomendations on day rides from these areas would also be greatly appreciated. We will be on GS1200's. This is a once in a lifetime trip for us and any help with planning is so greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance
Routes - You are probably fairly far along, definitely check out http://www.adventureguide.co.nz. They have lots of routes with different gradings. You can get a used copy of the New Zealand Motorcycle Atlas on Amazon. Accomodation - I can't give specific recommendations (just started my trip) but I bounced between TripAdvisor.com, Booking.com and Jasons.co.nz to find motels. I am also packing camping equipment, and the DOC Campsites are a good bet. The KiwiBiker forum is also a good place to look - they have an Adventure Bike section in the forum. Have a great ride! Jon
Try www.bnb.co.nz I stayed with a fisherman wife, stayed on a sheep farm , stayed on a cattle ranch. All found with the "Blackbook". I think you can order online. From $30 anite to $100. degeezer
Plus there is an "i" center in almost every town(even the smallest) the " i " being for information. Big sign usually. I enjoyed many hostel stays too. But at hostels, you really just meet other travelers, not locals so much.
Not sure if you may have stumbled on trademe.co.nz (similar to eBay and Amazon) where all kinds of items, products and services are auctioned and sold, including accommodation. Some is commercial like rooms in motels, hotels and camp sites, while some are Bed & Breakfast (BnB), peoples homes or rooms in private homes etc. There are some pretty good deals going at the moment, and there are plenty Gisborne accommodation options available. If you happen to be in one of the (armed or civilian services e.g. military, fire, police, ambulance) then there are some reciprocal accommodation options. You can search that out for yourself if it applies, or PM me for more info. Enjoy your trip regardless, but just a warning that the South Island is having a spate of bad weather at the moment...
Guess you are pretty sorted by now, NZ motorcycle atlas if you dont have one yet is a good atlas both tar & gravel routes with descriptions, if you get down to Milford sound the route in & out is magical, then Movara lakes DOC camp then steam boat to Queenstown, just check they can take four bikes as there is not much space but easy loading & unloading right onto Queenstown centre.

On TV: Doomsday Preppers, Episode 6
On Monday, I previewed episode number 6, "Nine Meals Away from Anarchy," of the National Geographic Channel TV series Doomsday Preppers. This afternoon, I'll be doing my review of the episode.
The show focused on three prepper groups this past Tuesday. In order of appearance:
Mike Mester and family, suburb of Atlanta, Georgia
"We're preparing for civil unrest caused by a global economic collapse."
Preston White, central Colorado
"Preston believes that a cloud of deadly radiation from Fukushima is heading towards the mainland United States and will soon contaminate food and water supplies."
Riley Cook and family, Silverthorne, Colorado
"I'm preparing my family to survive a polar shift."
Here are my thoughts about episode 6 of Doomsday Preppers, broken down by prepper group:
Mike Mester and family
Mike Mester is a contractor who lives in the suburbs of Atlanta, Georgia, with his wife, kids, and dogs. Prepping is a way of life for the entire family, so much so that they've been doing it for almost a decade. Mike warned:
The way the United States economy works today is not sustainable. We were once the greatest creditor in the world. Now, we are the greatest debtor. Where will all the money come from? Look at the news, look at the papers. Police departments cut. Fire departments cut. What will we do when there's no one there?
According to the show:
Mike believes that as the global economy falters, the U.S. economy will fall deeper and deeper into debt. Banks will close. Power will go out. Basic services will grind to a halt.
Which led Mike to ask:
If the grocery shelves are empty, you're only nine meals away from anarchy. What will happen then? Will you be prepared?
It's revealed that oldest son Ryan is away at college 250 miles away. Mike declared:
My wife and I, our home is our family. That's why we want to ensure that we get all our children home when things collapse. We will go to any extent to ensure their safety.
As a result, Ryan's parents provided him with a "get home" bag full of supplies, including food and water, that will support him for 4 days. In case their son is unable to make it back to the Mester household by himself, his parents have a backup plan in place. Mike explained:
Heaven forbid our oldest boy can't make it home. That's why we have plans to retrieve him in 30 days.
From the show:
Mike believes that after an economic collapse, rioting will spread from urban centers in waves, with violence cresting in the first few weeks. So 30 days is a key timeframe for braving the road.
Mr. Mester suspects gasoline will be hard to come by in an economic collapse, so he stores 50 gallons of it out in his garage. He replenishes his stockpile every 3 months to keep the gas fresh. Viewers were also informed in the episode:
He is also teaching his son Kyle methods for stealing gasoline, if necessary.
Nice. How about:
He is also teaching his son Kyle methods for recovering gasoline from abandoned/disabled vehicles in a societal collapse.
It's just not the humans who are prepping in the Mester household. Their two German Shepherd dogs, Storm and Thunder, both have bug-out bags and were later shown to be receiving training for protecting the home and family.
Putting his logistician background to good work, Mike has amassed and organized an impressive stockpile of food and water. It's revealed 3 rooms of his 4,500 square-foot house are dedicated to food storage. He estimated they have 2 years of food for 10 people. Viewers are also informed:
Mike stores thousands of cans, sometimes for years past their expiration date. Expired food might not taste good, but Mike knows it could keep his family alive in a crisis.
Mike added:
There's a difference between shelf life and life-sustaining. In Third World countries, they use rancid cooking oil. Certainly, it will not hurt you.
Another interesting bit of info provided about the Mester family's preps was the alternative fuel source they were shown fabricating and stockpiling. They collect dead leaves in the fall and combine them with newspaper to create an alternative fuel source. The mixture is soaked in water for 5 days, the slurry is compressed to remove the liquid, and briquettes are formed and air-dried for a week to serve as emergency heating and cooking sources. Very nice.
Like a number of other suburban preppers, Mike and his family recognize the potential threats from living so close to a major American city should a SHTF situation arise- and are preparing accordingly. Mike said:
Security is an important part of the prepper's lifestyle. If there's an economic collapse, civil unrest will likely ensue the metropolitan areas, then spread out to the suburbs. Downtown Atlanta is only 45 miles away. We don't know how fast that civil unrest will get to us, but we certainly will be prepared if it does.
The Mester family possesses a battery of home-defense firearms and a stockpile of ammunition, and trains monthly at the shooting range.
Mike left viewers with this thought:
If you think the government's going to be there, are you going to sit back and wait for the cavalry? They may never come. So what are you going to do about it? Why don't you start to prepare? Because it's your personal responsibility.
In the "Expert Assessment" portion of the Mester segment, Practical Preppers LLC recommended:
You need to put your leadership skills to use in your community. Getting your neighbors aware of, and involved in your prepping, will only make your family more secure in a crisis situation.
Excellent advice. But I'd add, that depends on the neighbors. I've lived next to my share of wackjobs over the years. And here in Chicago, where a good number of the residents have bought into the notion of "cradle-to-grave" care and protection by the Nanny State, preppers/survivalists and firearm owners are looked upon with intense suspicion, if not disgust.
Finally, in the "Doomsday Preppers Update" portion, Mike Mester indicated that the family was planning to grow a 1,000 square foot garden in their backyard. Those who lived in Russia in the aftermath of the Soviet Union's collapse will attest to how important a food garden is when society breaks down.
Preston White
Preston White is a web developer who lives in central Colorado. The recent disaster at the Fukushima power plant in Japan got him prepping. From the show:
Preston believes that a cloud of deadly radiation from Fukushima is heading towards the mainland United States and will soon contaminate food and water supplies.
White said:
People need to know Japan should be evacuated. California, Oregon, and Washington should be evacuated.
Convinced of this radioactive contamination, White makes putting together a seed bank a top priority. From the episode:
Believing that radioactive fallout from Japan will contaminate the American food chain, Preston is creating a seed bank, a store of fruit and vegetable seeds that can be used to grow radiation-free food in a post-apocalyptic world.
White has amassed so many seeds, he is shown displaying 11,000 different types for viewers. He explained:
A non-prepper might look at my supply and say, "Are you kidding me?" But if something happens- I win this game. People that aren't prepared- they lose this game.
In the episode, Preston White worked with other preppers (Shane Anderson, Richard Dudas) to plant his seeds and create a radiation-free farm. A key component to the farm is the biosphere tent system, which acts as barrier to radioactive fallout while allowing enough light in to grow food year-round. In addition, these tents can be broken down/set up fast and easily transported should the situation call for it.
Besides growing food, these tents were also purchased so people can live in them. At this point in the episode, local Russell Preister brought in and demonstrated an HHO generator/home heater prototype that would hopefully provide energy, clean radiation-free water, and purified oxygen for the plant and human occupants. According to the show:
The HHO generator can turn water into highly-flammable gas by using electrolysis to separate water's hydrogen and oxygen atoms. It can literally turn water into fire… HHO technology has become increasingly popular, with plans to build home generators readily available on the Internet.
Like the Mester family, White has a battery of home-defense firearms. He said:
If you're a prepper, there's 4 guns to have. You've got a 30-06 to kill a deer, shotgun, 22 rifle to protect your home, and a 9mm pistol. A sidearm for close contact. The guns I chose, I chose for defense.
Hope he meant to say that 22 rifle is a .223.
After learning a valuable lesson about violating operational security (OPSEC), White remarked:
I was faced with death. Decided I wasn't going to be a victim. It changed my life the way I live tomorrow. I can affect my picture, and that's what you do by prepping.
In the "Doomsday Preppers Update" portion of this segment, Preston said:
I'm hoping in the future to pick up a motor home and make it into a really good bug-out vehicle.
I always thought a mobile bug-out location was a neat idea. For those who can't afford a fixed BOL, it might be worth investigating.
Riley Cook and family
Riley Cook is a welder living in Silverthorne, Colorado, with his wife and four kids. According to the show:
Riley believes that during his lifetime, there will be a catastrophic polar shift, a movement of the Earth's North and South Poles along the Earth's mantle. And this drastic geological change will unleash a litany of natural disasters.
The Cook family began seriously prepping 5 years ago. It was revealed they have already spent around $300,000 on prepping.
Prepping has become such an integral part of their lives, the Cook family's welding shop recently became a disaster shelter building business. Because they construct customized underground bunkers, all sorts of features can be incorporated into a project. Even an incinerator to eliminate pesky intruders. Riley explained:
That's what you get when you combine a prepper and a welder.
Getting back to the episode:
A bunker buried at a distant bug-out location is only effective if you can get to it. Riley expects that the catastrophic nature of a polar shift will cause severe fuel shortages. So he has used his expert welding skills to solve the problem of transportation. His latest prepping tool is a custom-made Cook original that he hopes will allow his family to carry supplies without needing a car or truck.
Riley designed and built a 100 lb. hand-crafted aluminum cart that allows him to haul almost 9 times his body weight by distributing loads like a horse and cart. In this case, Riley is the horse. It's also water-tight and can float in a body of water. Pretty cool.
Not surprisingly, the Cook family has an underground survival shelter located at 11,200 feet in the Colorado mountains 10 miles from civilization. During the episode, Riley, his wife Sara(h?), and their kids are shown practicing bugging-out in severe weather up an unplowed, snow-covered mountain pass to the bunker. From the show:
Emergency preparedness experts suggest that you practice evacuating your home at least twice a year, and plot alternate routes in case roads become impassable.
Great advice.
The Cook family eventually made it to their "cabin," and proceeded to hunker down for the remainder of their stay.
Overall, a really good episode. As I said in my preview earlier in the week, a lot of viewers can probably relate to the Mester family in the suburbs, the Cook family in the small town, and even Preston White out in central Colorado. And this week, a number of ideas (food gardens, HHO generators/home heaters, motor homes, etcetera) were introduced that might be worth looking into.
I wish these three prepper groups success in their endeavors.
New episodes of Doomsday Preppers air on the National Geographic Channel Tuesday nights at 9 PM Eastern/Pacific Time. For more information, go to the Nat Geo Channel website here.
And before I forget, have you seen the new Doomsday Preppers TV commercial yet? When I first heard it, I thought it sounded so similar to the beverage commercials from the late 70s/early 80s it had me wondering if the original crew hadn't been hired to produce it…

STILLWATER, Okla. — Boosters and assistant coaches at Oklahoma State handed out tens of thousands of dollars to football players for at least a decade as the program grew into a national power under coaches Les Miles and then Mike Gundy, according to a Sports Illustrated article released Tuesday.
The article, which quoted several former players by name, said some players received $2,000 to $10,000 annually, with a few stars receiving $25,000 or more. Eight players told SI they received cash, while 29 others were named by teammates as taking money. The transgressions cited stretched from 2001 until at least 2011, the magazine said.
Oklahoma State said it has notified the NCAA about the report and launched its own investigation.

The 495 Express Lanes open early Saturday, adding a new dimension to the Virginia side of the Capital Beltway.These four high-occupancy toll (or HOT) lanes rely on variable tolls, which means that your fee will change depending on how much traffic is on the road. There are no tollbooths, so you must have an E-ZPass unless you're on a motorcycle.
Are you planning to try out these HOT lanes this weekend? Share your experiences in the comments below or by tweeting with the hashtag #HOTlanes (but please don't do this while driving).

My favorite time of the year, planting time. I have been pacing myself this year since I have a new and different garden. I have garden beds this year and rock landscape so no weeds! Or easily managed weeds I should say. I want to plant things that look great together and like a cozy cottage garden. One of our local nurseries had an open house last weekend and I had a great time (even though I smelled too much and got terrible hayfever, from which one I don't know yet- probably something I bought) anyway they had a great selection of beauty. My daughter and I participated in a herb growing and cooking class that was all about eating great food made with herbs! I haven't had that much fun in a long time. We had watermelon, onion, and feta cheese salad - with a few other ingredients to top it off and it was wonderful! A great artichoke dip and my other favorite was a thick tomato slice, cheese and a large basil leaf. Wonderful. I bought lots of pansies, alyssum, a columbine and some herbs to plant. There is another open house this weekend and I will be attending to see what they've got. I will probably haunt the nurseries this year just because, like libraries, they are one of my favorite places to be. I also tried quilting again, more like patchwork. I thought I would do a shabby chic look and make some placemats with frayed edges and such. Well I definitely need to preshrink my fabric first and hem the placemats, but I loved how the frayed flower turned out. Think I will try them again with the improvements and see how they turn out. I need to figure out how to fray my seams, I love that look. Washing didn't do much.

French Country Colors
Very excited with this new quilted needlecase. I am starting to become inspired by brighter colors (i am definitely a pastel girl by nature). These colors just make me happy though and I want to try more. There are so many neat color combinations out there and fat quarters galore to choose from. I got my Beatrix Potter fabric yesterday and have been inspired by sheep. I love sheep and used to have a few of my own, funny experience. They are funny characters, and so was I since I didn't have too much experience with them. Anyway I have always loved sheep, especially the lambs. I think I will do an embroidery set for kids featuring lambs and sheep and a few flowers here and there - my other favorite. My local flower nursery is starting to get all kinds of neat things in and I have to discipline myself to stay away and not go everyday since we have to buy things to eat, fuel that is priced like gold, and other necessities too... Last weekend I did get a few flowers (just had to) and a really neat wrought iron basket that I want to fill with flowers. There is a class to learn how to fill it up to where it looks really beautiful.

Spring weather hiking and creek painting
We went out for a bit on Sunday even though it was much colder, no shorts - got the turtle necks out again. We found a new ghost town we haven't been to. Really neat old rock structures that still have a few walls intact. A small creek was running and I found a quiet spot in the willows near a little waterfall to sit down and paint. The sun was warm and the trees protected me from the wind. Lots of rocks, but no sign of rattlesnakes yet. We were out by a bird conservation area too and there were lots of geese, egrets, ducks and others that I couldn't see but I heard them. Really neat black crane type birds too, lots of them. A little family of geese that liked the quiet canal along the road rather than the busy marshland area. I'd never seen goslings except in storybooks so I was very excited with this discovery. My needlework is coming along and for those of you who visited my web site for the online Needlework Show my "Moonlight Garden" is almost finished and will be released fairly soon!

Lake Painting, Alchemist, Garden Cart Embroidery and such
I painted a lot at the lake last weekend. I love the sounds of the water and the warm sun. My daughter wanted me to sketch and paint her playing in the water. Immediately I think I can't do it, but she goes out there and I begin. I begin to draw and it looks like nothing, not even close to her. Pretty soon my sketchy marks take a shape that starts to resemble her and I have more confidence in myself. In black and white it still doesn't resemble her much, but after I add the paint and it brings life to her skin, clothes, hair, and surroundings I was surprised with it - so was she I think. Funny. I have also been busy with my new set of embroidery patterns. They are very fun and will be quick to embroider. I love working on the quilting fabric, much more interesting than muslin. I am very excited to sew this together in a wall quilt. My walls are much too white right now. I have ideas of painting my walls here and there. Not a mural - too much for me, but little flowers here and there. What would I do without flowers? BOOK LIST OF LATE -- have you read "Water for Elephants" by Sara Gruen or "The Alchemist" by Paulo Coelho or "French Women Don't Get Fat"? All three are wonderful in their own ways. I love elephants and Sara's book is wonderful. Also if you like elephants - they paint- and you can see for yourself on "You Tube" . I learned about this in my drawing class. We watched it and it was amazing. If you search "elephant painting" on You Tube you should find it. Really neat. The Alchemist is wonderful for spirit and French Women is just fun for learning how French women enjoy life. That is why I read it. I want to enjoy life all the time and I discovered wonderful things about chocolate - my son and I love chocolate.

Garden Embroidery and Quilting
I've been inspired to begin a new set of embroidery patterns. A lot of whimsy, smaller in scale, following my garden theme, but a few more in another wall quilt. I am excited about the colors I've picked and fabrics I am going to use. Those bali fabrics with leaves and other nature images in them are fantastic. I am going to mix one I have with some florals to see what I come up with. I am still going to stay safe and use squares as I did in my daughter's quilt I finished. A heart pattern came out of the dark squares I used, which I didn't plan - just happened. Serendipity, love when that happens. I am pleased with how it turned out and it adds so much color to her room. I'd like to make more pillows for her room. No sewing last weekend, we went to the lake and spent lazy days by the water. Was wonderful on Saturday, but nearly were blown away on Sunday. Enjoyed it anyway and the wind helps to clear the mind and get the ideas flowing. I am almost finished with my drawing class. I think it has helped me to move into new directions and I feel good about that. I do enjoy drawing and painting on a small scale and usually outside, but there is nothing quite like working with textiles for me. I love fabric, threads, and all the colors they come in. I love to be surrounded by color.

Purple Tulip Wall Quilt
I finally finished all three tulip embroidery patterns and made them into a wall quilt for my bedroom. I liked how it turned out, but again I learned a lot from this project. I didn't measure my fabric for the embroideries beforehand so one was off and my block was off to so I had to add fabric (on the middle block). Did you notice before I told you :) I'm getting good at improvising if nothing else I guess! I am very excited though, these patterns will be distributed by Pattern Peddlers in the near future. Getting them ready to send. I am working on another set of five that I will use in a wall quilt too. My walls should be very colorful in the next coming weeks.

Zig Zag Quilt Pillow Adventure
I decided to sew last weekend and finish the quilt wall hanging for my daughters room and make a matching pillow. I am not an experienced quilter, I can do simple 9 -patch and log cabin - straight seams. Well I decided to try my hand at triangles, good grief. I almost hated quilting for a while. I learned a lot from this little project and think I like quilting again because I did get it to turn out, but not without a struggle. My pillow isn't perfect in any way, but it has its charm and the colors are fun and my daughter was happy, so I was too. It has given me a litle more confidence and lessons in measurement :) I think I will make another similar one next weekend and see how it goes. Working with all these fun fabrics is really fantastic, I love decorating my house with quilts and pillows and other warm, cozy things. I have a great collection of quilts from my grandmother and step-mother. They've inspired me to keep the tradition going. Lots of talent came before me.
