David Watson Rowe was called "Watson" and he was born on November 12, 1836 in Greencastle, Franklin County, Pennsylvania, the oldest child (of eight) of John Rowe, Jr. and Elizabeth Watson Prather Rowe. He served in the Civil War, along with his younger brother Gilmore, and fought at the battles of Fredericksburg and Chancellorsville. He kept a diary in 1863 during the war. Watson Rowe studied law and became a judge. He married Ann Elizabeth Fletcher on August 5, 1862; she was the sister of his sister Martha Ellen's husband, Lewis Henry Fletcher. He and Annie had no children but he took a great interest in his nieces and nephews.
The following is a copy of a memorial circular written and published by the Military Order of the Loyal Legion of the United States, Commandery of the State of Pennsylvania:

Captain 126th Pennsylvania Infantry August 8, 1862
Lieut.-Colonel August 13, 1862; honorably discharged May 20, 1863
Elected February 15, 1911. Class I. Insignia 16455.
Born November 12, 1836, at Greencastle, Pa.
Died July 15, 1913, at Chambersburg, Pa.
Companion David Watson Rowe, was the son of John and Elizabeth (Prather) Rowe. He was educated in the schools of Greencastle where he was prepared for college. He entered Marshall College, Mercersburg, in 1851, and went with the institution to Lancaster upon consolidation of Franklin and Marshall in 1853. He left college in his junior year to begin the study of law and was admitted to the Franklin Co. Bar August 15, 1857. Although he left college before being graduated, he was honored with the degree of A.M. by Franklin and Marshall in 1867. After being admitted to the bar he began the practice of his profession at Chambersburg, where he was engaged at the outbreak of the War of the Rebellion. He responded to President Lincoln's first call for troops, enlisting as a private in Co. C, 2nd Penna. Infantry. A week later he was made sergeant-major of the regiment and was promoted to first lieutenant Co. C a few weeks later, serving until the expiration of his term of enlistment.
When the 126th Penna. Infantry was organized, he recruited Co. K of which he was commissioned captain, August 8, 1862. Commissioned lieutenant-colonel August 13, 1862, and served until the expiration of his term, May 20, 1863. He was at Antietam, and in the battle of Fredericksburg December 13, 1862, his regiment formed a part of Tyler's Brigade, Humphreys' Division, and was in the thickest of the fight when the attempt was made to carry the crest of Marye's Heights, a charge believed by many to far overshadow in point of bravery on the part of the assaulting forces, the famous charge by Longstreet's column at Gettysburg. The command was "Charge bayonet, officers twelve paces in front." The advance of Col. Rowe's regiment was made over the prostrate line of the last charging column, up to within a few feet of the stone wall where the enemy lay. There it was met by a sheet of flame from the fatal wall. Col. Elder fell severely wounded at the head of his men while heroically urging them on at the farthest point of the charge. The command then devolved upon Lieut.-Colonel Rowe, under whose skillful leadership the fruitless struggle was maintained until it was seen that further sacrifice was useless, when in obedience to orders he brought his shattered regiment off the field.
On the field of Chancellorsville, the enemy having turned the Union right, pressed upon the unprotected flank occupied for the time by Tyler's Brigade, to which Col. Rowe's regiment belonged, and passed around to the rear threatened it with capture. Thus outflanked the regiment was forced to retire, but not until all ammunition that the men carried had been exhausted. Col. Rowe was severely wounded, being hit in the cheek by a rifle ball. Gen. Tyler, in his official report of the battle, says: "The 126th, Lieut.-Colonel Rowe, was third in line, and for the earnest, spirited work they could not be excelled. Col. Rowe exhibited the true characteristics for a soldier, brave, cool and determined, and his spirit was infused into every officer and soldier in his command."
After his return to civil life he resumed the practice of his profession until 1868, when at the age of thirty-one he was commissioned by Gov. Geary additional Law Judge of the 16th Judicial District, comprising the counties of Franklin, Fulton, Bedford, and Somerest. In the autumn of the same year he was elected for the full term of ten years. In 1874 the 39th Judicial District was formed, comprising the counties of Franklin and Fulton, of which he became President Judge. He was re-elected in 1878 for a second term of ten years. He retired in January, 1889, after having served twenty-one years. After leaving the bench he resumed his place at the bar. In 1905 Gov. Pennypacker appointed him in a vacancy in the Franklin Co. Court. He served for six months and then resumed the practice of law which he continued until the time of this death. He was past Commander of Housan Post No. 309, G.A.R.
No man was ever more gentlemanly in all the vicissitudes of life than Judge Rowe. No difference how trying were the times in war or court he always remained the same courtly gentleman. In his long record as President Judge he was never known to lose his temper or say an unkind word. Always firm and decided in his convictions he never hesitated to express his views, but this was always done with a gentlemanly consideration for the feelings of others. In every respect he was a gentleman of the old school, such a man as all could but love and admire.
Honored and respected by all classes, as brave as a lion and as gentle as a child, his death came too soon.

TROY, N.Y. - Senior quarterback Mike Hermann threw two touchdowns and rushed for three others and the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) football team scored five touchdowns over the course of the second and third quarters to defeat Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI), 39-17, in the Liberty League opener for both teams. In addition to improving to 3-0 overall, RPI regains possession of the Transit Trophy for the first time in three years. Rensselaer holds a 22-10-1 record in such games with WPI. The visiting Engineers fall to 1-3.
Hermann (Hardeesville, SC/Avon Old Farms), who accounted for seven touchdowns last week (5 passing, 2 rushing), completed 25 of 36 yards for 239 yards and scoring strikes of 29 and 28 yards. He was intercepted once. He had scoring runs of three, one and one yards and finished with 42 yards on the ground. Hermann's favorite target was senior Steven Burpoe (Saranac Lake, NY/Saranac Lake), who had a game-high nine catches for 100 yards and a 29 yard score.
WPI opened the scoring on a 26-yard field goal by sophomore Mitchell Lewis (Farmington, CT) at 9:18 of the first quarter. RPI came back to score on its ensuing drive, culminated by a 12-yard run by junior Andrew Armato (Staten Island, NY/St. Joseph by the Sea) in which he broke several tackles and bulled over the goal line. The extra point was missed and Rensselaer led, 6-3 with 5:38 left in the first quarter. WPI's Aaron Marshall (Acushnet, MA/Bishop Stang) put the visitors back in front when he caught a Jacob Grills (East Lyme, CT/Bridgeton Academy) over the middle, broke a tackle and outraced the defense down the field for a 64-yard touchdown. The point-after by Lewis made it a four-point difference, 10-6.
Rensselaer gained control by scoring three touchdowns in the second quarter. Hermann had runs of three and one yard for a 19-10 lead with under five minutes to go. With under a minute left in the first half, the RPI defense forced a punt, which was blocked and set the Engineers up at the 14-yard line. Following two penalties, Hermann found senior Steven Burpoe (Saranac Lake, NY/Saranac Lake) down the middle for a 29-yard touchdown on a third-and-25 play with 33 seconds left in the half. RPI held a 25-10 lead at the break.
Hermann helped account for RPI's two third quarter touchdowns, throwing a 28-yard scoring strike to Nick Weber (Winchester, MA/Winchester) on a first-and-10 play early in the frame and then scoring from a yard out with 3:02 left in the quarter for a 39-10 lead. WPI broke RPI's scoring string when Grills connected with tight end Rob Winthrop (Holtsville, NY/Sachem East) from eight yards out 2:01 into the fourth quarter.
The RPI defense held WPI to 211 yards of total offense, registering 7.0 tackles for lost yards (42) and 4.0 sacks (37 yards lost) in the process. Junior Jacob Meyers (Ballston Spa, NY/Burnt Hills-Ballston Lake) had a team-high eight tackles, including five unassisted. Sophomore Wade Hansen (Troy, NY/Tamarac) had six stops, including 1.5 for lost yards (7) and half a sack.
For WPI, Shaine Grogan (Dalton, MA/Wahconah Regional) made 12 tackles (3 solo) for the Engineers, who had 11.0 for lost yards (30) as a team. Mitch McClune (Pembroke, MA/Boston College High) had 11 saves, including seven unassisted and 1.5 for lost yards (4). Offensively, Grills finished with 173 yards passing by completing 16 of 38 passes. He had one interception. Marshall finished with five catches for 89 yards.
Rensselaer returns to the field next Saturday at league foe Merchant Marine (2pm), while WPI hosts Hobart in a Liberty League game the same day (12pm).

Marshall Tucker Band celebrates 40th with 'Greatest Hits' release
From The Marshall Tucker Band, with love
Matters of the heart have always mattered to The Marshall Tucker Band. Even if the Southern-rock cowboys from Spartanburg, S.C., seemed too tough and independent to get all hung up on women — being known more for lyrics about whiskey-drinking, freewheelin', rambling souls — they've always had a way with a love song.

Happy Quilting, Dawn

I buy most of my quilt books on on eBay!ReplyDelete
There has to be more than on pattern that I would like to make in the book.
Wow - thanks for a chance to win! I like to look through a book, and there has to be at least 2-3 quilts that tempt me. I buy some at the quilt store, JoAnn's with a coupon, or used at Amazon if I can find it.ReplyDelete
I like a quilt book that has more than one project that interests me, has great pictures, ans shows quilts in interesting settings. I buy a lot of books from my local book stores online sight.ReplyDelete
If it looks like a book I would look at over and over again just because the projects are beautiful, even if I never get around to making any of them! I buy most of my quilting books at quilt shops because I like to support them when I can. Sometimes I will buy online when I can't find the one I want at the LQS.ReplyDelete
I try to buy my books through my local quilt shop. But when they don't have a particular book I want, I buy on Amazon.com.ReplyDelete
Thank you for the chance to win!
I buy my quilt books on IBS (internet),thanks for a chance to win!!!ReplyDelete
Bye Sara
I buy most of my books from quilt shops. It is SO important to support them, if they aren't there, we will be sorry. I usually like to have more than one project in a book, but Inspiration is important, because, let's face it, we are never going to actually do all the new things, it's just nice to dream!ReplyDelete
I buy alot of books on line. I like Amazon and Connecting Threads.ReplyDelete
I love books of all kinds.
I'm new to quilting and have only two books...which I bought on Amazon. So far, the only patterns I have I've either downloaded free on the Moda website or been given them in my quilt class. I prefer traditional quilt patterns...leaning towards primitives...cabbage rose type fabrics, calicos, checks, pillow ticking, etc.ReplyDelete
Has to have more than 1 project for me. I try my best to support our local quilt shops. :) Karin E :)ReplyDelete
When I buy a Quilting Book I flip through it and see if there are at least two or three quilts that I LOVE. This justifies the cost of the book...like buying two or three patterns! I usually buy my books at a local Quilt Shop when they have a sale...I would LOVE to win your book!! Thanks for the chance!ReplyDelete

I buy books at my LQS or online....probably equally. I like for there to be more than one project in the book that really interests me, though I am a sucker for beautiful photography and will sometimes buy the book if it is gorgeous.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousJanuary 18, 2012 at 9:03 AM
Thank you. I buy most of my books where ever I find a good price. Economy what it is. I love books with wonderful pictures and great directions. Looking forward to seeing yours!ReplyDelete
Quilt fabric and books are purchased mostly from a new shop in Berthoud, Colorado called Laughing Ladies. I buy books if they call to me. Sounds silly but if there isn't anything in the book or magazine that I know I would make, it isn't purchased. Your new book has one for every season that I would make in a heartbeat. Thank you.ReplyDelete
Thank you for the opportunity to get your book.ReplyDelete
I teach patchwork in the area I live. I want to have different blocks in different sizes to build my own quilts, many times.
When I buy a book I look for in various places: Book Depository, Amazon, Martingale, Ebay.
Success with your giveaway.
I buy most of my books in an online bookshop.ReplyDelete
I buy a book when there are several interesting projects or if they are helpful to improve my sewing.
Please enter me in your lovely giveaway.ReplyDelete
1. I buy a book when the photography really grabs me. If I never make anything from the book, then I can still flip through it when I am having a bad day and enjoy the pics :)
2. Since I don't have a LQS, I buy everything online - usually from Country Sampler in Spring Green Wi.
Blessings, Patti
I buy most of my books from Amazon! I look for at least 3 projects that I will make!ReplyDelete
Usually, I chose a quilt book with at least two projects that I know I will make. Sometimes, though, I buy a book just because I like the pictures.ReplyDelete
I buy a quilt book if I see it many places and always keep looking at it. Thats how I decide which quilts to make too. The ones I just can't stop admiring.ReplyDelete
I buy books either at my local quilt shop or on Amazon...depends on where I am when I want it. And I look for quilts I think I will actually make. I've bought a few just because they had such beautiful quilts but not very many of those. I want to be able to replicate the pattern so the directions need to be clear enough that with just a few minutes browsing I know I can understand. This looks like a gorgeous book - color is another must for me. blessings, marleneReplyDelete
I look for designs I like. I usually buy my books on the internett. Hugs JofridReplyDelete
I buy my books online when they have discounts or at my quilt shop.ReplyDelete
The book must have several patterns I love. The patterns must require thought to make...if Iit is simple where I can easily make it by looking at the picture I won't buy the book. I buy lots of books with applique because I can't draw..love combo patterns with piecing and appliqué!
I buy from quilt shopsReplyDelete
I look thru the book and if I see several patterns I like then I usually buy th book
Hi Dawn...quick little note to tell you I posted a link to your giveaway. *wink*ReplyDelete

Thanks for the chance of the giveaway - your book is at the top of my list of next to buy.ReplyDelete
Thanks for the giveaway! Quilt Hollow sent me here! I purchase a lot of book on Amazon. I'd rather buy through a quilt shop but I can't beat the price. I buy plenty of patterns at quilt shops though! If they have a book that isn't available though Amazon/Barnes and Noble, I don't hesitate on purchasing it. Also, JoAnn's coupons come in handy. When I buy a book, I usually look for several patterns that I like. I love lots of picture too!ReplyDelete
I like books with fresh ideas on traditional blocks, or new things for me to try. It definitely needs to have more than one project that interests me. I buy books and patterns all over ; a lot on online and some from my local lqs.ReplyDelete

I keep trying to refrain from buying more books - I have so many already - but then you come along and tempt me! I've been trying not buy on a whim - wait and see if I really can't live without it...then if I have to have it (lol) I will try to find it at a shop when road tripping with friends. Or...really hold off and ask hubby for it for Christmas or birthday.ReplyDelete

I actually buy quite a few on line through Chapters if they are available or through the Publishing Co.ReplyDelete

I try to buy my quilt books at quilt shops; however, since my local quilt shop closed, I have been buying them from Amazon and Connecting Threads. Your new book looks wonderful. Congratulations.ReplyDelete

HELLO! I BUY MOST QUILT BOOKS FROM MY LQS OR ON-LINE. MANY HAVE BEEN GIFTS! I'M A SCRAPPY PIECER BOTH HAND+MACHINE QUILTING.THANKS FOR SHARING A SWEET GIVEAWAY!ReplyDelete
Congratulations on your new book! What I generally look for in a book are at least three projects I would make out of it. That seems to justify the expense of the purchase. However, sometimes I will get a book just because it is full of inspiration and beauty. I used to get my books at my local quilt shop, but I moved out to the boonies, and now I shop on Amazon.ReplyDelete
I buy most of my quilt books and patterns at quilt shops in the surrounding area.ReplyDelete
The basis for buying a book... more than one project that I would like to make one day.
I buy most of my books at quilt stores ,I do not shop online. I also need to browse through a book to see if there are a few patterns I would be interested in making before buying. Thanks for the chance to win this great book!ReplyDelete
Love the new quilt designs!ReplyDelete
When I find a book with a few designs in that I either want to make or just be inspired by...that is when I want to buy the book. I seem to buy alot of books through Amazon though I'm always checking Connecting Threads first because they show so much of what is in the book and have great prices. I live a distance from quilt shops so those two places are my favorites.
P.S Mary from Quilt Hollow sent me :-)ReplyDelete
I buy most of my quilt books from Amazon - their service is so quick that I can quickly get started on any new project I want to make!ReplyDelete
I buy most my books at quilt shops. I look at the projects, if I am interested in 3-4 of them,clear, concise instructions, must be rotary for most pieces,VERY scrappy, perhaps a couple of smaller project like an unusual pin cushions, mostly traditional patterns. I also like story/history/good photos/larger print. I'd love to win, thank you for the give away!ReplyDelete
I buy my quilt books from Amazon when available. The rest I buy from online vendors that are sometimes quilt shops. I don't have a LQS. I try to take advantage of sales and free shipping.ReplyDelete
Me gusta buscar proyectos nuevos en los libros, que compro en Amazon. Gracias por esta oportunidad.ReplyDelete
I look for a project that I would want to do or at least some inspiration that I might use. Sometimes I use ideas from several sources for a quilt. I buy most of my books from Amazon because they have the best prices.ReplyDelete
I look for lots of pictures and easy directions in a quilt book. I usually end up buying from Amazon.ReplyDelete
I look through a book at the projects. The more projects the better. Also If a friend recommends the book. I usually buy books at quilt shops and on Amazon. Thanks for the giveaway. Good Luck to all.ReplyDelete
I need at least one pattern that I "might" make, but I look for original ideas. I tend to purchase books online, which can be tricky. I've usually seen it at someones place or after reading a blog review. I'm pretty picky now, I'm mostly buying books with lots of pictures, not so focused on patterns.ReplyDelete
This comment has been removed by the author.ReplyDelete
I look for pictures that reel me in and what me to make what I see. I also look for a variety of skill levels. I buy most online, I like amazon or barnes and noble and Connecting threads. So glad that Mary sent me here!ReplyDelete
I buy most of my books on Amazon or book Depository.ReplyDelete
I look for a book where I can make most projects or get many ideas.
Quilt Hollow gave a tip on your giveaway. I buy my books wherever I can find them- some at LQS and some on Amazon. Thanks.ReplyDelete
Congratulations! A book has to inspire me, or have more than one project I want to do, or pieces from more than one project. LOL I buy books when they are on sale, or I have a good coupon. Thanks for the chance! I'd love to own your book!ReplyDelete
Mary from Quilt Hollow sent me over to take a peek. I tend to purchase a quilt book based on whether there is at least one large project I really would like to make or a few smaller ones. I purchase many of my books on Amazon so I can get free shipping.ReplyDelete
Hi, I buy books both from my local quiltshop and online.ReplyDelete
I rarely follow a pattern exactly, so if I'm buying a book, it's usually for the inspiration. I totally need tons of pics in a book for my inspiration fix! lol And I usually get my books at quilt shops....I need to touch a book, flip through it several times, and ooh and aah over it for a while before I can buy it. The internet just doesn't give me that chance! lolReplyDelete
I look at the pictures and when something appeals to me it usually because I fell in love with the picture. I buy most of my books from Amazon or at Joann's.ReplyDelete
Thanks for the chance to win!
Book looks wonderful.ReplyDelete
Usually the book cover will grab me first if it is by an author I don't know. I will mostly buy a book from a quilt shop so I can glance thru it first. If it is too pricey, I do the Amazon thing or wait till the shop has a sale. It also has to have a few projects that appeal to me before I buy.
It looks like a lovely book! I like books with antique quilts in them and books that have a story or some reading to them as well as patterns. I buy most of my quilt books online.ReplyDelete
Like many of the others I need to find at least two or three patterns I would love to make before even considering parting with my hard earned cash,I also like applique patterns as well as ones that include some stitcheries in them.ReplyDelete
I buy most of my patterns on-line as there aren't too many patchwork shops close by without having to travel a fair distance to get to them :) Barb.

Because I'm no where near an expert, I like quilt books with clear instructions (including diagrams or photographs)ReplyDelete
Well illustrated instructions and lots and lots of pictures, but mostly I love quilt history. I purchase most of my books from Amazon, but occasionally from my local quilt shop. I want to keep supporting them.ReplyDelete
- Linda BJanuary 18, 2012 at 2:52 PM
I love quilt books, and I will purchase if I see one quilt that excites me or more than one that I like a lot. I purchase all my patterns at my local quilt shop if possible and books at local book stores or Amazon.ReplyDelete
Thanks for a chance to win such a lovely book!
Dawn, thank you so much for the chance to win your book.ReplyDelete
I usually purchase my books at Connecting threads or Joann's fabrics. I look for a book that have the actual size of applique so I do not have to enlarge and I often buy a book that has more than 1 project I want to make unless the whole book is dedicated to only one large project.
I look to see how many quilts/projects I think I will really make from the book to decide whether or not to buy it. Thanks for the giveaway!ReplyDelete
Your new book looks wonderful. congrats. I look for quilts that inspire me and ones with fabulous photography.ReplyDelete
What do I look for in buying a quilt book? PICTURES! I love new designs, something that speaks to me - and pics of quilts in multiple color ways - Sometimes seeing a quilt done in only one colorway is a little limiting. Thanks for the chance to win! I can't wait to see this book in person!ReplyDelete
I look at the projects in the book & if I see one I like, then I'll buy it. I do buy most online because I don't have a LQS.... wish I did!!ReplyDelete
I buy most of my books at Joann' with a 40% off coupon. I look for books with a few project that I would make instead of liking just one project in a book.ReplyDelete

I look for clarity of the patterns as well as style and ease of making.ReplyDelete
I buy from a number of sources, eBay, Amazon, yard sales, the local quilt shop, you name it! Also, the Sew-its-for-Sale forum on Yahoo is a great source, especially for older books. Thanks for this opportunity.

I buy most of my books online through Amazon.ReplyDelete
I don't buy a lot of books. When I do I like to make sure there's at least 2 or 3 projects in the book I would like to make. I usually buy them from ebay or The Book Depository. Thanks for the great giveaway.ReplyDelete
I buy most of my quilting books from Amazon. I need to want to make projects from the book or it must contain new techniques for me to purchase it,ReplyDelete

New patterns that look interesting to me. New applique patterns always catch my eye especially. I buy a lot of my quilt books from Amazon.ReplyDelete
I buy most of my books from Amazon.ReplyDelete
I love a book that teaches an old dog new tricks (if you know what I mean) As I've been quilting for 18 years much has been repackaged and repeated...so I love a book that gets me thinking outside the box and offers something new.
I mostly buy my quiltbooks in local quilt shops, but sometimes I look at Amazon.uk.ReplyDelete
The books must have good instructions and, as many others have said erlier, there must be at least 2 different prosjects that I like.
Love to win your book!!
Thanks for hosting the giveaway!ReplyDelete
I look for clear, concise directions with lots of pictures (I'm a visual learner) when buying a quilt book!
beautiful photos and filled with new techniques and desugn ideas. Good luck on your new book. cheers TeriReplyDelete
Wow, great site Quilt Hollow sent me over and I am glad I came. I buy most of my books on Amazon. I really look for books that do a good job showing how the quilt is quilted. I also like seasonal quilts since I use them to decorate my house.ReplyDelete
I buy most of my quilt books online from the blogs I read also at my local quilt store my patterns come from sites that offer free patterns or block of the monthReplyDelete
I like to see the inside of a book first so buying online doesn't work for me. If there are a few projects I like then I purchase it from a quilt shop because it's important to support them.ReplyDelete
I look on book depository when buying. Much cheaper than buying them in NZReplyDelete
Thanks for an awesome giveaway....I buy books at quilt shops, online, and at flea markets, used book stores etc. I buy a book because of how it inspires me or 'speaks' to me...and if it has a variety of projects in it, wool, punch needle, patchwork etc.ReplyDelete
There must be at least two quilts in the book that I would want to make, each being very different. Lately, I have enjoyed very much viewing blogs that are reviewing a book, especially if the reviewer has made one of the quilts. I really do like this type of marketing and will usually buy. I would love to "test" a pattern for someone. Thank you for this wonderful opportunity. Judy CReplyDelete
What do you look for when deciding to buy a quilt book?ReplyDelete
I look for simple patterns that look more comlicated by fabric choices.
Waving my hand here in Indiana. Quilt Hollow sent me here!
Forgot to add - Mary from Quilt Hollow sent me to your site. Thank you from Judy CReplyDelete
I buy books that have at least 1 quilt that I have to make (not that I always end of making it) or books that have wonderful photo layouts-I love seeing quilts displayed in homes creatively.ReplyDelete
Thanks for a chance-Mary from Quilt Hollow sent me! -she told me to tell you so!
I buy books with good instructions. I order them online or get them at quilt stores.ReplyDelete
I love your designs. I useually look for easy of patterns and variety in the different kinds of patterns. I do not have a set place to buy Quilt books, but I would say I have bought most of them through the blogs.ReplyDelete
Thanks, Elizabeth
Wow, your new book looks wonderful!ReplyDelete
I pay attention at first to photos and instructions - reading them for at least one project to see the level of book (I'm just a beginner)
And some books I buy at local bookshops, and some - at Amazon.
I usually look at the style of book (ie: contemporary, primitive, traditional, etc.) I almost always go for the primitive! And the more applique I can use my wool with the better!ReplyDelete
I usually get a quilt books from a quilt store. sometimes I get a book for a certain class. I enjoy the old time quilt looks.ReplyDelete
I do buy books online and in quilt stores. Sometimes I do not see what I am looking for in the shop and I live so far away from stores I must buy online.ReplyDelete
In a quilt books I look for unusual pattern,s,great photos for inspirations, a clear photo of the ENTIRE quilt so I can see exactly how fabrics were used and clearly written instructions. That sounds like a great deal,but these items make a book usable as well as great eye candy.
I usually buy my books at Joann's....I've never bought on ebay or amazon. Thanks Dawn for the chance to win your latest book....(o:ReplyDelete
I buy many of my quilt books online at Amazon but I also try to support our local quilt shops.ReplyDelete
I am first attracted to the colors and quilts on the cover. I love original designs that are pieced and/or appliqued. The book must be inspiring and include patterns that can transferred to make a quilt or blocks. I love to look at my quilt books over and over and enjoy reading the author's comments.
- AnonymousJanuary 18, 2012 at 6:19 PM
I look for books that incorporate a style or technique that I like or want to try. I love books that combine piecework and applique.ReplyDelete
Usually it is from a reference on a blog! If it has a few quilt patterns in it that I like and would possibly make then I will buy it. I buy most of my books from Amazon. Your book looks wonderful!ReplyDelete
Mary at Quilt Hollow sent me over.ReplyDelete
I usually look for designs that inspire me and techniques that I don't know.
I usually buy on the internet as I don't have an LQS or anyplace close that carries quilting books.
I look to see how many quilts are in the book that I'd like to make. And most of my books & patterns are purchased at quilt shops or quilt shows. Thanks for the giveaway--love that book and will HAVE to buy it if I don't win!!ReplyDelete
I like a quilt book that has more than one pattern that I would want to make. Of course, I enjoy looking at all photos of beautiful quilts.ReplyDelete
Mary sent me!
The book has to have great pictures of the quilts and at least 3 projects that I would want to make. I buy most of my books used/new at Amazon and Joann's. You can't have too many books in your quilting library. This would make a wonderful addition. Thank you for the give away. Also, loving the Hartfield quilt.ReplyDelete
I check out the projects/patterns and if there are more than a couple that I would make, then I will probably buy the book. I also check online if the book is available, otherwise at a store, that I can use a coupon for a discount! I was checking the quilt hollow blog and she suggested to get to your blog to enter the giveaway. So here I am..ReplyDelete
Hi Dawn!ReplyDelete
I usually buy quilt books whereever I am if I see something I really like, a familiar designer, a technique I'd like to try, or a quilt I know would be perfect for donation or a gift. I usually buy patterns that way too, local quilt shop, Quilt Show, other quilt stores. Sometimes I'll buy off the net too, just depending.
Thanks for the giveaway!
Take care, Leslie
I buy books different ways. If I like the person I will in most cases buy the book. Usually happy with results. Or if someone new to me has great ideas that interest me I will buy.ReplyDelete
Where do I buy? Our small quilt group takes "road trips" and if I see something I wanted, may buy it. Or I cannot find the book a store, I buy on line.
I buy my books from quilt shops, if available, or online from shops or Amazon if i can't find them anywhere else.ReplyDelete
Thank you for a chance to win your book!
Purchasing a book is a soulful experience for me. Working full-time--- I read about quilts lots more than I get to actually quilt. The "dream and inspire" factor is important. Color photos-- and photos on the quilt being used in real life inspire me. Ilove when the artist writes what she was thinking when she created the project or what the project means to her. I love getting to know the quilters. I am a :hands-on: girl. I love feeling the pages and choosing the books at a quilt shops. I may research on line..but I purchase most books from my quilt shop.ReplyDelete
Completely interested in your book.Congrats on the endeavor.
Looks like a wonderful book. I was at Quilt Hollow and she said to check your book out!. I love books I look for books that have a couple ideas in them that I like. I buy them mostly at shops. Thanks !ReplyDelete

I buy a quilt book if I like several of the quilts in it and it's not too similar to a book I already own. I love books almost as much as I love quilts!ReplyDelete

I buy a book that has a quilt that I just can't wait to make or a technique that I want to learn or color schemes that are inspirational. I buy books wherever i find them. I hope to see your new book soon.ReplyDelete
I consider buying books for several reasons. It's less about specific patterns than it is about whether I can learn something, or be inspired by the content. I like to support my LQS, but their selection is often limited. Then I prefer to buy used, partly to save $$ but also to reuse and recycle, so go to Amazon.ReplyDelete
I buy my quilt books at my local quilt shop. If it is one she isn't going to get then I order from another shop online. The cover is usually the first thing that catches my eye.ReplyDelete
I look for a book that has wonderful pictures, beautiful designs and I must admit if I like the fabrics used it helps to catch my eye. I like applique quilts and wool designs and tend to lean towards traditional patterns.ReplyDelete
Congratulations on your new book. Looks lovely and I do so enjoy researching and sharing insights about new quilting books.ReplyDelete
I buy quilt books from a variety of sources (Almazon, quilt shops, publishers, etc).
I like to be able to get more than patterns from a book. Techniques, stories, a new way to think. I buy most of my books from the internet. Amazon and Martingale Co. are my most-visited sites. Congrats again on your book! :)ReplyDelete
I look for a book that has at least 5 projects I want to make in it. I like clear instructions, not just pictures and I always enjoy reading the how- to section. I usually learn something new.ReplyDelete
I buy a lot of books at connecting threads, because they show a lot of pages. and it doesn't take a lot for me to buy, I love quilting boks of any kind!ReplyDelete
Your new book is lovely, I would love to win, but will most likely be a buyer
I feel guilty to admit it, but I buy most of my quilt books on amazon. With patterns though, I try and support my local quilt shops or my favorite online shops. Lately though, I've been picking up pdf patterns-- so convenient!ReplyDelete
When deciding on a quilt book I flip through it and see if I want to make at least 3 or more of the patterns. If so, its a buy!ReplyDelete
Your book looks yummy!
Thanks for the chance in the drawing. I buy most of my books from my local quilt shop. I try to support them as much as possible.ReplyDelete
I look for interesting ppatterns that are doable for me. I want something that challenges but not overwhelms me. Also, I have found that it is a big help if there are some photos wiuth it to describe how to put the shapes together.I buy my books everywhereReplyDelete
Quilt Hollow sent me over.ReplyDelete
For me a quiltbook has to have lots of colorful pictures, at least 2 projects I would like to make and some more projects for inspiration. I usually buy them at a bookstore or online (when they are on sale).
Hi! Thank you for the chance to win. Lately I've been buying books more about technique like FMQ. When I do buy pattern books there has to be at least 2-3 quilts I drool over. lolReplyDelete
1--I buy most my books on AmazonReplyDelete
2--What can I learn from it? Does it have history and tips as well as patterns? (I like vintage quilt patterns) Do the quilts come in different sizes?
I look for patterns I can use with the fabric on hand. I buy most of mine at Joanne's.ReplyDelete
Theresa N
I look for at least one pattern I would like to do. I may not do it but it inspires me and keeps me motivated.ReplyDelete

I buy most of my books at quilt shops. It is so important to support the shops.they have the good fabric and the best designers.Also, when you buy a book at the quilt shop and you have a problem with a design, you can get a little help with it.ReplyDelete
Thanks for a chance to win!
I buy most of my books at quilt shops. It really helps the decision to buy when the quilt shop has made a sample from the book!ReplyDelete
There must be at least 3-4 patterns that interest me, and the book must look worth reading. I buy them at the Quilt Shop.ReplyDelete
I love books and buy many from quilt stores where I can thumb through them. Lately I've been buying on-line since I babysit my grandkids 5-days a week. Some books I buy for the patterns and others I buy for the historical and women's quilting stories. Some books I buy because of the authors .. i.e. Jo Morton and Blackbird Designs, etc.ReplyDelete
I purchase most of my books and patterns at the local quilt shop.ReplyDelete
Thanks for the opportunity!
Thank you for the great giveaway. When I buy a book I look for a multitude of patterns and the ease of making them. I buy most of my quilts patterns and books on line. HugsReplyDelete
I need to browse a book before I will buy it. That is why I seldom buy online, unless it is from a favorite author or I cannot find it locally.ReplyDelete
Thanks for the opportunity to win.
I buy most of my quilt books anyplace they are on sale and I always make sure they have patterns in them that I am interested in doing, not just looking at. This new book really appeals to me because I am just learning to applique'. I have some medical issues that limit how well my hands cooperate, but I'm still lovin the applique process. I find it so relaxing. Especially when I'm not able to spend time in my sewing room. I'm learning to really love projects that are portable and 'take with me' things to work on where ever I may have idle time. Thanks so much for a chance! OH...by the way, I found out about your giveaway from Mary of Quilt Hollow. She is such a sweet heart. Hugs...ReplyDelete
Oh what fun and how sweet of you to just "give one away"!
I buy my quilt books and patterns at my two most favorite stores in the world...HobbyLobby or JoAnn fabrics!!
Congrat's to whoever win's this great giveaway!!
I buy books for new techniques, and I never buy a book without first previewing the pages.ReplyDelete
I am a hands on, brick and mortar book buyer, I support quilt shops. Touchie, feelie and visual. If the store is having a sale, that is an added perk! I have also bought books when Connecting Threads has a sale. I like that they let you view the inside pages.
A book has to have more inspiration than a monthly quilt magazine.
Saw your give away on Quilt Hollow Blog, but I follow your Blog too.
I buy most of my quilt books and patterns from the LQS.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousJanuary 19, 2012 at 1:20 PM
The cover has to grab my attention for me to pick it up. Then I look for at least two patterns that I really like. I buy my books at quilt shops both locally and when I do a road trip.ReplyDelete
Conny from Red Deer, Alberta
I usually buy most of my quilt books online, usually from Amazon.com, but I like to look at them in person first. I look for books that have a lot of projects I would like to do. I usually won't buy a book just to do one project. If the local quilt store has a sale, I will buy them there. I just look for the best price I can find.ReplyDelete
I look for a book that has more than one pattern in it that I would make. Your book looks lovely.ReplyDelete
I look for easy projects that won't take a lot of time.ReplyDelete
I try to buy my books at quilt shops to support them however not many carry a good selection anymore so I usually get them from online shops like Colonial Crafts or Amazon.
- MarijkeJanuary 19, 2012 at 4:11 PM
1/ Pleasant and original patterns with clear instructions. As it is for Flemish people quite difficult to find Flemish quiltbooks, it's always nice if the explanations are clear and helpful.ReplyDelete
2/ Mostly on the internet - where I can find an interesting one.
Sorry for my English - far from perfect and thank you for the possibility I'd might win your lovely book. Congratualations!
Looks like a fun book to work with. I buy most of my books on line through amazon and a few at our local quilt shops. I look for easy instructions and fun patterns. I found your site from quilt hollow.ReplyDelete
A new book needs to have scrappy projects, homey-looking ones, and a warm feel from the solor illustrations.ReplyDelete
I buy a quilt book if it has designs that I think I would do and I usually buy my books at my LQS or through Connecting Threads.ReplyDelete
I look for fun and exciting projects that make me happy! I like to have more than one project in the book that catches my eye, but if there is only one and I fell in love with it I will buy the book.ReplyDelete
I look for the best deal I can for buying books, I look online but check out the local quilt shops.
I look for good photography and inspiring designs.ReplyDelete
I love to look through a book first. It has to have at least 2-3 projects I would like to make, or some new information I would like to keep! I am really inspired by the colors and fabrics used in the pictures!ReplyDelete
Hmmm...I generally buy books where I see them! LOL Joann's with a coupon is great, but they don't often have what I am looking for..so quilt shops and or amazon.
- Kathy M BoiceJanuary 19, 2012 at 7:14 PM
I buy most of my books with coupons from JoAnn Fabrics. They have to be my "style", have easy directions, and eye catching photo's!!ReplyDelete

I look for an author who's ork I admire! Books I buy either at a quilt shop of from Amazon or other quilt book outlets.ReplyDelete
I love books with some historical interest.ReplyDelete
I buy most of my books at my LQS
I buy most of my books on Amazon (used section for less expensive books). I have a long list of books that I look for on a regular basis.ReplyDelete
Lately, the book has to be about applique and have more than a few quilts I am interested in.
Thanks for the giveaway!
What do I look for? Something that grabs my attention, some unique pattern or amazing applique. I like books that have a variety of projects; quilts, wall hangings, minis, table runners, maybe pin cushions, a doll.ReplyDelete
Quilt Hollow sent me to your blog. I look for quilt books that have patterns that are not too complicated and also have great pictures. I like books that feature scrappy quilts.ReplyDelete
Before I buy a book, I need to feel inspired. Inspired to try something new, to step outside my comfort zone and learn a new technique. Or the book has to inspire me with patterns and colors that I can see in a way to use up some of my stash (since my daughter doesn't want it). I either buy my books at the quilt shop where I work or usually at Connecting Threads since I can see pages of the books and I usually wait for 40% off since I already have about 3 shelves of quilt books.ReplyDelete
I buy most of my quilt books on Amazon and I go to my local quilt shop for patterns. Thanks!ReplyDelete
Quilts that are inspiring...and great pictures...love the bookReplyDelete
When I look at quilt books I like when they give ideas for the actual quilting. Thanks for a chance it would be wonderful to win one of your books.ReplyDelete
Hi Dawn I love your book. To tell you the truth I am an applique and piecing person. So I look for both in a book and I will buy it even if it only has one that I like but I like to have both avenues in it, piecing and applique. I also think the cover inspires me to even look first. Then I like details and pictures. Now where I buy them is really depending..If I like a signed one and I really like the author i will pay the extra and get it from her other than that I buy at Amazon or Joanne's with a coupon. This was probably too much info but just wanted to be clear. I will keep my fingers crossed because I love the cover of your book but you have allot of entries so good luck to everyone....ReplyDelete
When buying a quilt book I look at the quilts I must like most of the quilts otherwise I won't buy it, unless it's on offer then I might!!ReplyDelete
I buy most of my books from Amazon or The Book Depository as I live in France I have to be careful about postage! Thanks for a chance to win.ReplyDelete
I look for several projects that I like and am interested in making. Not just one or two.ReplyDelete
It's usually the photos that grab me with a quilt book - like most people I am drawn if it has several items in it that I would make - if the store has a model hanging that will do it too. I buy almost all my books and patterns in a quilt store and once in a while online.Thanks for a chance to win your lovely book.ReplyDelete
I purchase most of my books and patterns at either my local quilt shops or at quilt shows. Thanks for the giveaway.ReplyDelete
What a wonderful giveaway and book!ReplyDelete
Quilt Hollow said to say Hi!
I buy most of my books from Amazon or JoAnns or online at other places. Usually it is because of a technique or pattern I want to learn or just a beautiful cover!
The first thing I look at in a quilt book is the finished projects, if they keep me looking, then the directions, are they clearly written and are there pictures on how to do things. I also try to read reviews on books, although sometimes I'm so excited about a new book I just get it right away! I purchase most of my books on Amazon.com.ReplyDelete
Jacquelynne at the Nobel Wife sent me here! :)
Congratulations on your new book and postcard fabric! I just love the fabric and cannot wait to buy some! Books for me have to have more than one pattern I like and easy to understand the directions. Most books are bought at local quilt shops and on-line like FQS or directly from author/publisher when I cannot find it locally. Thank you for a chance to win!ReplyDelete
When I choose a book to add to may collection I first look for color pictures of the projects. I want to see the projects photographed beautifully and have a chance to see the details of the design. Books that offer instructions on new-to-me techniques are also must haves. In the end though, it is the patterns themselves that sell the book to me.ReplyDelete
Mostly i like to buy books that have clear instuctions with lots of photo. if the instruction are good it makes it esayer if you want to modify the size or design to fit the project you are working on. firstname.lastname@example.com
Wow...I just checked out some of the projects in your new book on Pickledish, and they're gorgeous! I buy many of my quilt books through Amazon, but buy patterns from many different online stores. I also tend to buy quilt books that contain at least a few applique projects because that is my true love!ReplyDelete
- Janine H.January 20, 2012 at 12:14 PM
I haven't actually purchased a quilt book.ReplyDelete
My mom lets me borrow hers.
I'd love to have something of my own.
I don't buy a lot of single patterns. When I'm shopping for a book, I tend to buy it on ebay or with a coupon at Joann's -- or from a local scifi bookstore that does special orders.ReplyDelete
I shop around when i decide to buy but the pattern is different than most or the fabric that I fall in love with. By the way I wish you would do more patterns and books I have all of yours one is waiting to be finished after our son's wedding quilt must do that before anything then your pattern with the bunnies I love you flowers. It would be so wonderful to win this book if not I will buy it. Keep up the wonderful work you do and thanks for a chance to win. Debbie firstname.lastname@example.com

The Safest Way to Update Sony Drivers
There are a number of typical alerts as well as other messages which you may get in the driver updating process, many of which I've paraphrased and listed right here together with tips on what to do:
QUESTION: my laptop now need to power-on several time before it could possibly start-up, however it will just shutdown a number of minute later.the laptop is related directly to power point.but a while it could previous one particular hour prior to shutdown again.any guidance will likely be appreciated. thks.
ANSWER: Let us isolate the issue by undertaking a power cycle: Take out the battery and all peripherals -> push and hold the power button for 5 seconds OR, when the battery is just not detachable, clear away all peripherals -> glance to get a battery off button around the base on the laptop computer -> press the button for five seconds -> you might make use of a security pin.
Method to Update Driver with Device Manager
1. Now let's take Windows 10 for example. Open Windows 10 Control Panel by pressing Win+X(Windows keyand X key) at the same time and click Control Panel.
2. Click Device Manager.
3. In Device Manager window, expand categories and locate the device that you wish to update the driver for. For instance, if you want to download driver for the Network of "SONY VPCB11NGX", find this device under related category. Then right-click on the device name and select Update Driver Software.
To download and update the driver for SONY VPCB11NGX yourself (If you are a geek)
It's best to let Windows install device drivers automatically. But if Windows can't find a driver for your SONY VPCB11NGX, you can look for a driver on the manufacturer's website of SONY. Driver updates are often available in the support section of such sites.
Once you find the updated driver, follow the installation instructions on the website. Most drivers are self-installing—after you download them, you usually double-click the file to begin the installation, and then the driver installs itself on your computer. But make sure your are downloading drivers from a safe website to avoid virus attack or registry corruption. Download a professional driver updater or find a geek to help you.
Still can't Fix SONY VPCB11NGX Driver Problem? Don't Worry! You can Try DriverTuner
1. Click here to download a Driver Updating Tool and double click it to install
2. Scan your computer for outdated drivers. Select the drivers(here you should select SONY VPCB11NGX) which need to be updated and click download. Or you can just check SELECT ALL.

PITTSBURGH (AP) — The Ottawa Senators lost a lot more than a game.
Star defenseman Erik Karlsson went down with a left Achilles injury when he was cut by a skate blade late in the second period in the Senators' 4-2 loss to Pittsburgh on Wednesday night.
"It's a tough blow," Senators captain Daniel Alfredsson said. "Obviously, the way he's playing and how much he means to our team, it feels terrible and I feel really bad for him."
The Norris Trophy winner last season as the NHL's top defenseman, Karlsson was cut by Penguins forward Matt Cooke's skate blade as the two tangled along the boards. The Senators said Karlsson will need surgery.
"We all know who's involved in it," Ottawa coach Paul MacLean said about Cooke. "That's just the way it is. The injury to Erik was unfortunate and it happens on a nothing play that could've potentially been whistled down."
Cooke has been suspended several times for much criticized hits, some of them involving head-shots that injured opposing players. In 2011, Cooke was suspended for the Penguins' final 10 regular-season games and the first round of the Playoffs after an elbow to the head of New York Rangers' defenseman Ryan McDonagh.
Karlsson fell to the ice and was in visible pain after tangling with Cooke. He needed help getting back to the bench and displayed frustration, throwing his stick against the boards before disappearing down the runway.
"Him and I were engaged and he went down screaming," Cooke said. "I didn't even know what happened. It's a complete accident and obviously I feel terrible about it. It has happened a few times over the past couple years and it's scary."
The Senators stood up for their teammate in the third as Chris Neil took penalties for roughing and a 10-minute misconduct after tussling with Cooke.
"I think at the end of the day you kind of expect it," Penguins star Sidney Crosby said. "I don't think anyone was shocked to see Neil go after him, but unfortunately that's kind of how it works sometimes."
James Neal scored twice, and Crosby had a goal and two assists to help Penguins snap a two-game losing streak and pull within a point of Eastern Conference-leading New Jersey. The Devils swept Pittsburgh in a home-and-home series over the weekend.
"We had two tough games against New Jersey and after those two losses we wanted to have a good bounce-back game and we did that tonight," Neal said.
Pascal Dupuis also scored for Pittsburgh, Paul Martin had two assists, and Marc-Andre Fleury made 26 saves.
Stephane Da Costa scored his first goal of the season, and Jim O'Brien also scored for Ottawa. The Senators lost for the fifth time in seven games.
The loss of the Karlsson is a major blow for the Senators, already playing without center Jason Spezza and left wing Milan Michalek. Spezza is out indefinitely after surgery for a herniated disk, and Michalek was a late scratch Wednesday because of a lower-body injury.
"He's a player who is irreplaceable," Senators goalie Craig Anderson said. "It's unfortunate, but there are no words that can explain what we're feeling."
Ottawa, behind Anderson's 42-save effort, shut out Buffalo on Tuesday night at home, but couldn't carry the momentum to Pittsburgh. Anderson stopped 25 shots Wednesday.
Penguins defenseman Kris Letang returned after missing three games because of a groin injury. He was paired with Matt Niskanen, who also returned after missing eight games with an ankle injury.
Both goalies were strong early as the teams combined for 26 first-period shots. The Penguins scored the lone goal of the opening period, the 11th time in 14 games Pittsburgh scored first.
Dupuis one-timed his fifth of the season behind Anderson with 3:37 left in the period, taking a cross-ice feed from Crosby, who set up the goal after pouncing on Chris Neil's turnover at the blue line.
The Senators took the lead with goals scored 24 seconds apart.
The first came just as a two-man advantage expired as Da Costa, from behind the net, banked a shot off the back of Fleury's pads that trickled across the goal line.
O'Brien gave the Senators the lead 24 seconds later with a wrist shot from the faceoff dot that caromed off Fleury's glove and bounced into the net.
"I was not happy with giving up two so quick, but I knew if I made some key saves for the guys, they would get them back," Fleury said.
And that's exactly what happened.
Neal tied it less than 3 minutes later with his NHL-leading sixth power-play goal, the sixth straight game the Penguins scored with the man advantage. Crosby recorded his 400th career assist on the goal, sending a pass from the corner to Neal, who unleashed a wrist shot over Anderson's shoulder from the faceoff dot.
Neal gave the Penguins the lead for good 1:52 into the third period, tapping the rebound from Deryk Engelland's shot from the point past a sprawled Anderson.
"I've often said if you're going to make a book on a shooter and a guy getting open, just watch (Neal) play the game," Penguins coach Dan Bylsma said. "He has an elite release when he gets the opportunity."
Crosby's sixth of the season, coming seconds after a Senators' penalty expired, put the Penguins ahead by two goals midway through the third.
NOTES: The Penguins traded LW Eric Tangradi to Winnipeg for a seventh-round draft pick Wednesday. ... C Dustin Jeffrey and D Robert Bortuzzo were scratched for Pittsburgh. ... Penguins' C Brandon Sutter appeared in his 300th career game. ... Ottawa continues a three-game trip, visiting Toronto on Saturday night, while the Penguins open a two-game road swing Friday night at Winnipeg.

TORONTO, Jan. 4 (UPI) -- A Canadian couple must wait months to collect their $50 million lottery jackpot while their past lottery retailing activities are reviewed, officials said.
JoAnn and Gaetan Champagne claimed their LottoMax prize at the headquarters of the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Commission in Toronto this week and learned of the delay, The Globe and Mail reported.
The couple ran a convenience store until October in their hometown of Hawkesbury, near Ottawa, where they also sold lottery tickets.
In 2009, the gaming commission known as OLG instituted a "No Play at Work" policy in which ticket sellers are not allowed to purchase or even check their own tickets where they work.
Even though the couple sold their store, JoAnn continued working there part-time and was an employee when the ticket was purchased at another retail location, the newspaper said.
The big prize will be investigated both by the OLG and the Ontario Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario, the Toronto Star reported.
The couple were aware there would be follow-up investigations, the Globe said.

Posted on 07/28/2010 9:51:33 PM PDT by nickcarraway
A large and mysterious creature is ripping apart cattle in a small village of Ecuador. Although the original article is in Spanish, Google translation tries its best to translate it to English, but fails. So I will paraphrase.
The small community of La Cuadra (The block) has seen multiple cattle mutilated and torn apart by something powerful. The ghastly findings are out of the ordinary, even for local known predators. The residents concluded that what ever it is that has killed steer and cows, its powerful enough to rip them apart and leave huge, deep prints with large claws in the mud.
Arming themselves with machetes, guns and flashlights a search party was rounded up in order to capture the creature. Upon investigation the residents saw a large black animal move through brushes. Nearby they found some cattle remains. What are the residents of La Cuadra dealing with?
Talks from the residents point to a possible escaped cougar. Others say that this is just another attack by the infamous Chupacabra.
No photographs of the paw prints have been released, although photographs of the mutilated cattle speak for the shocking attacks. What is stalking the cattle in Ecuador? In order to inflict that kind of damage seen in the photographs, I would have to say that a large cat is on the lose, or a pack of canids are attacking the cattle.
I thought the alien killed the predator.
Where's Helen Thomas nowadays, hmmm?
Don't wanna miss this thread ping!
My guess? The cows are being mutilated by gangs of armed peasants looking for monsters in the dark.
* my post to you was at 4:14:14 AM
Why is it that these wierd number things happen to me every time I post to you? Oh well. At least it ain't 6es.
Ok, you guys have me beat. Chupacabra has nothing on the ugliness of those two. ;)
Cattle Mutilations? Isn't it obvious alien activity? Have any humans been abducted and anal probed?
Anal probed? Tried to 'ping' this to Barney Frank, but he isn't registered here...

Great minds...
Great minds, and all that... :-)
I think Lindsay Graham is, but I can't remember his screen name.
(If you get my drift...)
Easier on the eyes.
Well, yeah. If you're you. LoL
But I, being a mountain mama, see things from a completely different perspective.

LSC-O Quiz Bowl team to compete against Ivy League schools
(Lamar State College-Orange press release)
The Lamar State College-Orange Quiz Bowl team wrapped up their last practice of the season on April 5, in preparation for their trip to Chicago this week to compete in the NAQT Intercollegiate Championship Tournament in Chicago (April 12 and 13). The team was invited to the tournament in March, after they placed third in the NAQT Community College Championship Tournament with a 9-2 win/loss record. At this tournament, however, the team will be competing against four-year universities from all over the United States, including Ivy League schools.
The Quiz Bowl team consists of veteran members Shane Marburger, Jefffree Hoke (team captain), and new members, Sarah Leger, Jerad Jurgensmier, and Jacob Gorton. In order to prepare for their meets, the team meets twice a week and spends hours reviewing random topics, ranging from math and science to current events.
"Getting to this tournament is a stunning achievement," said Quiz Bowl sponsor, Eric Owens. "Any win that we have will be phenomenal for us, because these guys have worked so hard to get to this point."
As the last tournament of their LSC-O career, Marburger, Hoke, Gorton, and Leger will be moving on after Chicago, leaving Jurgensmier to keep the winning tradition of the LSC-O Quiz Bowl team alive.
"It's an honor to go and to be able to compete against top Ivy League schools for academics," said Jurgensmier. "These are some of the smartest minds in the world, and we qualified to compete against them by winning in these past tournaments, fair and square."
All of the team members bring a different strength to the team, and their strategy is that they divide up quiz categories between members to cover the widest range of topics.
"I'm glad we all know so much about different things," said Hoke. "It has been an honor to have been on this team."

I Am That Creep, Pleased to Meet You.
I was reading the lively conversation between Jonathan Galassi and Eileen Myles in Vice, and Eileen says, about living in San Diego, "There was a way in which you were really alienated from where you lived. There wasn't a lot of conversation and there wasn't a lot of encounter." This reminded me of the feeling I had upon discovering Schuyler's poems, those that became Other Flowers, which "live" in San Diego.
Here is the life's work of this poet I've always loved and always known to be both intimate and exclamatory, his poems often about or because of conversation and encounter—even being the encounter itself—and his poems and things reside now in this city where everyone is alienated by design and is thus forced to make encounters happen. That feeling I'd had was initially one of some cruel irony. But as I thought of Schuyler, it began to make sense. In a way, he was always alienated and made his own encounters, whether with a Fairfield Porter painting, the first bud of spring, his gossipy friends, or the poems of Leopardi.
Now, two reviews of Other Flowers have — appropriately, mind you — mentioned Schuyler's "prophetic" lines from "A Few Days": "when I'm dead, some creep will publish [my notebooks] in a thin volume called Uncollected Verse." I am that creep, pleased to meet you. Having long been a devotee of Schuyler's work, I was very much aware of these lines and duly considered them before spending four months wearing white gloves in a stuffy room, and five years of my life working on this volume, so that these poems might reach the audience they deserved, something I could not have done without the intrepid collaboration of my dear coeditor, Simon Pettet. It is my belief — and one that appears to be shared by a great many participants in this project — that, while there is no "The Morning of the Poem" or "Hymn to Life" in this collection, these poems are a necessary addition to the James Schuyler oeuvre we already know and love. I think he would be pleased.

Las Vegas wedding chapels saw a spike in traffic as couples tried to land a memorable 11/12/13 wedding date.
The Clark County clerk's office issued 1,399 marriage licenses in the four days leading up to Tuesday. That's a 28 percent increase from the same four-day period last year.
Clerk Diana Alba says the number of licenses is nowhere near what it was during the record-breaking days before July 7, 2007, when the calendar turned up lucky triple sevens.
But she says couples tend to gravitate toward dates like 11/12/13 that are easy to remember, or fall near a three-day weekend.
Unusual weddings around Sin City on Tuesday included a couple that got married on a motorcycle, and another pair that had a six-tier wedding cake made out of hamburgers.

Big Whigs
America says it wants a third party. Why not the Modern Whigs?
Third parties are in right now. A recent WSJ/NBC poll found that "nearly one-third of Americans are strongly in favor of the creation of a new, independent political party that could run a presidential candidate in 2012." What better time for the resurgence of an obscure, long-forgotten, anti-Jacksonian 19th-century political party?
The Modern Whig Party held its first-ever national council meeting this weekend in a small conference room at the Arlington Courtyard Marriott. The party is small but, they insist, growing: It now boasts a national headquarters in Washington, D.C., 20,000 "members" (more on that later), and 28 official state chapters, including one in Florida, where the party is a registered political organization with ballot access.
Among the attendees was Conor Boland, 14, who rode the Amtrak from Delaware with his father, Kevin. "I'm here with a future Whig voter," said Kevin, a former Marine who has not yet taken the plunge into the party himself but wanted to encourage his son's civic interest. Other attendees were serial third partiers. "I've seen my fair share of third-party flops," said William Cerf, 63, a New York restaurateur who, previous to the Whigs, was a member of the Libertarian Party and the Peace and Freedom Party. But that didn't stop him from jumping on the bus from New York to Washington for the conference. "I hope this will be the first new mainstream political party," he said. "It could be a historical occasion."
The Whigs have fallen in and out of politics for the last four centuries. The term Whig originally dates back to a 17th-century anti-Royalist party that opposed James II's hereditary ascension to the English throne. In 1834, opponents of President Andrew Jackson recycled the name to protest "King Andrew's" attempts to expand presidential power. These Whigs eventually coalesced into a national party that supported the Second Bank of the United States, congressional checks on the presidency, and a protective tariff. The party had a brief Golden Age in the 1840s and early '50s, putting four Whigs in the White House—William Henry Harrison, John Tyler, Zachary Taylor, and Millard Fillmore. But by 1856, the party split over the issue of slavery, and Whigs such as Abraham Lincoln abandoned it for the newly formed Republican Party. The Whigs limped along until 1884, the year of their last national convention in Baltimore.
The Modern Whig Party is like its namesake, only with fewer frock coats. The party was conceived in 2007 by active-duty service members in Iraq and Afghanistan, who then started recruiting nonmilitary members when they came back home. They resurrected the old Whigs' symbol, the owl, and chiseled out a platform centered on fiscal responsibility, energy independence, education, states' rights, separation of church and state, and support for veterans. In other words, a Republican head with a Democratic heart.
By the time the meeting started on Saturday morning, only 13 people had taken their seats. National Whig Party Chairwoman Elaine Stevens pointed out the historical significance of the 13 attendees—one for each original colony. But the symbolism ended a minute later, when No. 14 walked in late.
Stevens kicked off the proceedings, calling the meeting a "pivotal" and "historic" moment for the party. Stevens then introduced Gene Baldassari, the only Whig in the room who'd run for office. In 2009, Gene ran as a Modern Whig candidate in New Jersey's 14th Assembly. He lost badly, picking up only about 1.5 percent of the vote. But other Whigs have fared better—well, one of them has. Ken Belcher, a Whig, won a local election for constable in Alabama in November 2008, although it's unclear whether he actually ran as a Modern Whig or Democrat. But most members put their hopes in "Big Whigs" like Clayton Schock, John Annarumma, and Paul McKain, all of whom are running for Congress on the 2010 Whig ticket in Florida.
Next up for discussion was the party's official color. One of state leaders said he had been using buff, a kind of off-yellow. Turns out buff and blue were the Whig Party's original colors. The color went unchallenged and—with that—the party made the only real decision I witnessed in four hours.
Stevens then delved into the Modern Whigs' online marketing efforts, a must for any upstart third party these days. The party boasts 20,000 members. Then again, entering contact info on the Web site qualifies you as a "member." Furthermore, Stevens admitted that many of those 20,000 had probably been "lost" due to the party's failure to engage them. The party should be more proactive, she said, particularly by using Twitter, Facebook, and virtual meetings. Hence the video camera in the middle of the room, streaming the meeting live on the Modern Whig Web site.
The afternoon planning session was for Whig members only, so I went home to watch it online. (Apparently, the meeting was closed to press but open to everyone with Internet access.) Fortunately, any sensitive information that might have been disclosed was kept safe by the webcast's spotty sound.
Needless to say, the Modern Whig Party has a long way to go. They've ironed out some of the state-level details but currently lack the vision, leadership, and video streaming capability necessary to sustain a competitive national party. Past attempts to repackage the Whigs' name haven't turned out so well: John Watts ran for governor of Alabama in 1970 and lieutenant governor in 1974 as a Whig candidate. He didn't win.
But that doesn't mean it can't happen. After Whig candidate Zachary Taylor's presidential victory in 1848 *, one Whig announced a prophecy of sorts: "The Whig Party has safely passed through … a transition state and will be as enduring as the union itself. … Its perpetuity as a great national party is placed beyond doubt." Great may be a stretch, but the Whig party certainly is enduring.
Correction, Dec. 15, 2009: This article originally gave the wrong date for Zachary Taylor's presidential victory. ( Return to the corrected sentence.)
