A couple of years back, I wrote a post, also published at Anti-Racist Parent--now renamed Love Isn't Enough, in which I surveyed my son's library to examine gender stereotypes and the representation of people of color in his books. I took a trip down memory lane this week, and conducted a similar experiment at his school during my short stint as a volunteer at a Scholastic Book Fair/Fundraiser. Fascinating.
Of course, the school AND the company Scholastic both like to pay a lot of lip service to "diversity." Who doesn't these days.
The first article by Scholastic on "diversity" that popped up in my search says:
Even 3 and 4 year olds are tuned in to matters of culture and ethnicity. For them, the issues are not social but personal, and are closely related to their self-esteem. . . If your child's preschool validates cultural diversity, you'll know it just by looking around. Are a variety of faces represented on the walls?
That article was published in 1996. So, how is Scholastic doing now as far as honoring diversity with the reading materials it sells in the communities who choose Scholastic book fairs as venues for fundraising?
First, let's look at my son's school community. I know that each classroom, during enrollment, tries to balance equally the gender represented in the student body. Racially, in my completely unscientific estimation, the population of the school is about eighty percent white, reflecting--and possibly proportion-wise surpassing--the racial make-up of Portland, the whitest US city with a population of over half-million. (Portland is about 78% white, while the state of Oregon is 87% white. Just to throw in a bit of trivia, the Czech Republic, where I grew up, is about 97% white). Religious affiliations are impossible to determine, though I know for sure that at least three major religions (Christianity, Judaism, and Buddhism) are represented. A myriad of ethnicities are represented, however, the only ones I can determine, other than those overrepresented in the region (e.g. Anglo-American and Scandinavian-American), are ones based on the languages I've heard at the school. I have heard Vietnamese, Chinese, French and Spanish. The languages spoken, of course, don't necessarily give me information on specific ethnicities (for instance, a French speaker could be Canadian, Hatian, or French among many other possibilities) but at least we can establish that a percentage of children at my son's school are growing up bi- or multi-lingual.
Let me just say, that to some, this may seem like an odd exercise in face value symbology. But we would be kidding ourselves if we asserted that we live in a colorblind society and that our ideas about people are not influenced by the racial, gender, and many other types of stereotypes which we encounter just about everywhere--in the media, in books, in advertising and entertainment, in our families, etc.
So, I was curious to see what a giant such as Scholastic was doing to educate our children, and if their book selection for the young was reinforcing or helping to shatter two categories of stereotypes in particular: gender pigeonholes and stereotypes about people of color still so prevalent in this society.
As far as gender, I counted how many book covers featured girls and women, paying attention to the numbers of "visible minorities" (yes, indeed a subjective definition), and to what the girls were pictured doing. Were they shown in midst of interesting and varied activities or just standing there looking pretty (and pretty "useless")?
As far as race, I took note of the number of books showing people of color, and again in what context they appeared.
In this survey, I only focused on book covers due to a time constraint, and because it is the cover that usually determines whether parents and children choose the book to pick up, flip through, and possibly purchase.
So, what was the Scholastic preschool/early elementary-level book selection like? Here are my findings:
Of the nearly 300 books displayed, 75 portrayed people only, and 21 showed people and animals together. The rest of the book covers showed either only animals, a scene, a building, or nondescript characters such as aliens. So, about one-third of the books for sale featured people on the front covers.
Of the approximately 100 covers with people on them, 20 featured "visible minorities." Of those books, 11 displayed girls or women on the front, interestingly almost always with one or more males. Four books showed people of color interacting with animals, six showed people of color alone (though I'm being generous here, because one cover was of a must-look-very-closely-to-ascertain African-American boy's arm carrying a suitcase--and I still counted it). Finally, ten, or about half, showed "visible minorities" together with whites.
Three of the twenty books with people of color had Asian-Americans/Pacific Islanders on the cover. Yes, that's three out of 100 when my son's school has quite a few students of Asian heritage, and when the Portland population is more than twice that, percentage-wise. Needless to say, I was disappointed to see such underrepresentation.
Only one of the books had a Latina on the cover (Dora, the Explorer). That's right; only one out of a hundred books showed a Latina, while Latinos, according to the US Census Bureau, represent fifteen percent of the US population, and in the greater Portland Metro area, depending on the location, 7 to 50% of the total local population.
Sixteen of the twenty book covers featuring people of color showed African-Americans.
Eight of the books with "visible minorities" on the front focused on athletes, all African-Americans, and all but one of the many athletes shown on the book cover "collages" were male sports figures. Additionally, two book covers showed Barack Obama--one where he was alone and smiling, and the other where he was smiling, surrounded by his smiling family. Are you smiling yet?
So, let's talk more about what we see people of color doing on the book covers. The Asian girls are just standing there, one looking startled (whoa, she's not smiling!), the other... drum roll... smiling pretty. The one pair of Asian parents we are shown is smiling, climbing up and hugging a giant dinosaur. And Dora? She's at the doctor's office, sitting on the examination table with a stethoscope in her ears. Dora--pictured with a doctor who is a white woman--is, you may gasp now... smiling. And the African-American characters and personalities? Some are engrossed in sports games, others happily posing in sports jerseys. Other than sports figures, there is one black girl sitting on a bench with a book in her lap. However, she is not reading, but talking to a friend instead. And there is one black kid taking eggs out of an Easter basket. And there is that boy carrying a suitcase--his arm only, rather--because the rest of his body is on the back cover. But the remaining people of color are just standing there or jumping up into the air smiling, looking pretty. Even a photograph of Ruby Bridges on the book cover of her autobiographical story for children about being the first African-American to attend an all-white school in New Orleans, is pictured just standing there, smiling. A beautiful photo, nonetheless, but she is seen without books, pencils or anything hinting at the theme of the book. Inside, the book does have powerful photographs of the protests surrounding desegregation and of Ruby at school with her teacher and friends, but on the cover, her image is stripped of the historical context, so central to the story.
It is interesting to note that of all the people, the athletes (and a couple of kids who look scared of ghosts or who knows what) are the only ones whose facial expressions show intensity, this while focusing on a sports game. Otherwise, all the rest of the people, and especially those of color are seen smiling and looking "non-threatening." Showing people (and animals with human-like features) in their happy-go-lucky best is a definite trend with books for this age group in general.
Of the nearly 100 books featuring people, 39 included girls on the cover (Remember, most accompanied by boys or men). Ten of them were girls or women of color. About half the book covers with females showed girls as active and engaged in an activity, including painting, cooking, playing with dolls, performing theater, riding a horse or building a snowman. The other half of girls were pictured mostly posing with smiles on their faces. A much smaller percentage of "active" females was shown on the covers featuring women of color.
As far as the catalogue for the book fair, designed by Scholastic, of the fifty books featured, only ONE book cover displays a person of color, an African-American girl hugging a dog she rescued.
So, in conclusion. Are we seeing Scholastic breaking with or reinforcing gender and racial stereotypes? I must share that I am disappointed that, though a large percentage of books featured females on their covers, many of the girls, especially the girls of color, were shown not engaged in ANY interesting or meaningful activities. Instead, they were posing on the book cover, looking cute. Most of the girls shown as active were doing typically "girly" things such as art, playing with dolls, dancing or cooking. I didn't see any girls (ok, except for the one building a snowman) engaged in scientific pursuits or activities stereotypically assigned to boys, such as building, using machines or doing sports (other than one female basketball player and a horse rider).
I was also unhappy about the relatively low numbers of books featuring people of color, and even deeper than that, that the range of activities in which "visible minorities" were shown engaging was by far much narrower than that of their white counterparts. I mean, half of all the African-American "faces" belonged to athletes. What about the scholars, the scientists, the artists, the writers, the teachers... You get the drift.
Should I send my "analysis" to Scholastic? I think I'll do that... and report back.

Well, I have good news and bad news, depending on how you enjoy consuming your stories.
The production schedule for the Kindle/print versions of THE EAVESDROPPER has outpaced the readings of the videos on my YouTube channel. The Kindle version should be available next week, and the paperback version will be available a week or two after that.
I'll be honest with you all here: I love YouTubing and making videos. If it were up to me, I would delay the production of every book and short story in order to fully serialize it on YouTube first. Because that's something I really enjoy.
But at the end of the day, my priority is giving stories to readers, when they want them and in the formats they want them.
Recently readers have told me that while they enjoy listening to my YouTube videos in order to "sample" a story, they prefer to go to the print or Kindle version when it comes time to really jump into it.
This makes sense to me. I enjoy watching videos on YouTube, but I recognize that a 50- to 100-video playlist may not be the most convenient way to read/listen to a novel.
For those of you who have been watching all the videos--don't worry! I will continue to read chapters of my books (and entire short stories) on YouTube. But I may shift my scheduling priorities a bit as I move forward. Readers have told me that they want Kindle/print versions first, so Kindle and print versions will be my priorities.

The day after the short-limbed vulgarian was elected Premier, Marla found workmen had lowered her chair at work so that she needed to reach up and over to manipulate her keyboard. The next, they lowered the desk to match, her long legs squashed beneath it. Short was the fashion. Nightclubs brought out sandwich boards: if you're this tall, you're not welcome, and the Premier's face smiled back. Marla didn't go out anymore, stayed home, wrote long letters to the editor about the Premier's vulgarity, his decision making, his ubiquity. They were edited for length.
Matt Dube was quick to recognize the comedy potential of radical disparities in size: boardbooks with Clifford the Big Red Dog and Marmaduke in the funny pages were early teachers. Later years revealed a preference for small things in bog paces: infants left sleeping in drafty warehouses, man alone in the universe. He laughs at it all. twitter: @matthewdube

Here's our mission:
I bought these pants for LuLu in February.
They were only $2 at Gymboree. It's hard to see in the picture, but they have trees, mushrooms, squirrels and acorns on them. Yes, I had to have them. I knew Tim would think they were cute.
They were so cheap because they were a return from over a year ago. But, there was no matching top. Sure, I could just put a solid onesies with it, but they're newborn size and I really have only found white.
I think we have a solution...I just need another day or two. Check back Monday and keep your fingers crossed!

Since I have nobody to talk to, occasionally I tell me roommate about what I am doing and explain why I am doing is important and how it's going to help me come up in the SERPS. But, every time I get so freaking frustrated and I promise myself I will never talk to him about this again. He is one of those people who thinks they know everything better than you and make stupid suggestions. So today I was explaining how I have put my link on a blog, and to get this noticed, I created a forum profile and put the blog as my homepage, and then asked a question in the forum so that when google crawls the forum, it will see my profile, and when it crawls the profile, it will see the blog. so he says "thats not a very good way of doing it, you should put your link in the signature box so that people will see it and you get more customers. if its in your profile, it is very unlikely that anyone will notice it." I was about to argue, but I cursed myself for ever starting the conversation and shut my mouth.

My Nonprofit Reviews
Review for Artomatic, Washington, DC, USA
Incredible opportunity to expose my art to a large, anonymous audience. Creating and selecting the work to display, prepping the site with paint, lights, handouts, and labels was more work than I ever imagined. Artomatic offers emerging and established artists as much or as little of a community as a person could want. It would be really awesome if there was more art creation occurring on-site, but to see 1000+ local artists on display is visual feast.
More Feedback
The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were...
Eclectic and serious. High school kids prepping for Art School. Senior citizens with some serious talent. Full-time creatives. Bureaucrats by day, art escapists by night.
If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...
Buy a permanent home. Expand to a year-round, ongoing arts community.
How frequently have you been involved with the organization?
One time

When we first proposed the FM voice repeater there were several applications in mind, not just another FM free-for all. 1) Let schools talk to an astronaut at JSC via the repeater 2) Let schools reserve a pass and run the net, taking checkins 3) SAREX specialty nets 4) Using it for special applications in keeping with the SAREX mission, My understanding of this current activity is just a check-out of the system to verify that it works. I hope then that once the procedures are well develioped and that the astronauts can easily get the radio into and out of repeater mode, that we can take an organized approach to scheduling its use in a meaningful way.. Just my 2 cents... Bob ---- Via the sarex mailing list at AMSAT.ORG courtesy of AMSAT-NA. To unsubscribe, send "unsubscribe sarex" to firstname.lastname@example.com

Below are the 7 most recent journal entries recorded in
The OOC community for "Not Lupus"'s LiveJournal:
In the midst of a long day, so forgive me if this post seems a tad on the hurried or unprepared side.I was just wondering how everyone was doing... and, more to the point, where everyone is. Seems like our first SL is off to a slow start. That's okay, though. You may have had the dubious pleasure of hearing me say -- if not, you're hearing it now -- that real life issues should always come before an RPG. And I know that certainly my life in the past week or so has been less than ideal for dedicated game play.Hopefully we'll all be able to get Not Lupus back on track soon. Right now, we seem to be bogged down in the ducklings post... so if the three of you could try to meet and figure out where to go from here, that'd be great. I also propose everyone getting together for a group chat again, to touch base. Perhaps Tuesday around 9PM EST would work for most of you? Seeing as there's not an episode of House next week.Just tentative plans for now. Hope you're all okay; drop either Ryuu or I a line with questions or ideas.Thanks!--SkipNL co-mod

Hello everyone, thanks for stopping by to check in on today's project. This little box started out as just a plain chipboard box - the old fashion school box kind - It is a super basic project, I measured the top, bottom and sides of the box and cut some pretty papers fit. These are from Pink Paislee .
A little garden green card stock from CTMH added nice detail to edges of the top. The butterflies are cut from the scraps and then the bodies were glued to allow the wings to "flutter". When the box is open you can see this little dress form paper clip. I so love this clip. I attached it with a little bit of Glossy Accents .
The card slips into the clip for pretty presentation. A great way to give a thick card.
Pearl beads seemed to give it the prefect little lift it needed.
I can't end this post without showing the precious little goodies that were given in this box. As the mother of two boys I had the time of my life shopping for these...
I hope that you have enjoyed this little bit of girly stamping. Do you have any ideas for covering gift boxes? I would love to hear about them.
Until next time,


text: Scrapebox is taking over my computer in slow poster. Can I get around this by logging on as a different user? What if I install Virtual Box? My Scrapebox is legit but, I have some cracked stuff. Could I put my good and cracked stuff on a VM and have my desktop applications available for me to use? Will a VM share my internet connection. If not then the whole idea is worthless. Another question. Will Scrapebox work with Ubuntu? It works with XP just fine but, I am getting ready for an upgrade here. And I may get rid of MS operating systems but, only if my tools (Scrapebox,etc.)will work with them. Thanks for your consideration

Welcome to another #GalaxyNote5 article. One of the topics in this post today deals with no Whatsapp notifications issue after the Note 5 was updated to Marshmallow. We also address three other problems so we hope that reading this brief material can shed light on some issues being experienced by some Note 5 users today.
- Some Galaxy Note 5 S Finder categories greyed out and can't be selected
- No Whatsapp notifications in Marshmallow-updated Galaxy Note 5
- Galaxy Note 5 turns off by itself and keeps freezing
- Galaxy Note 5 screen is distorted
If you are looking for solutions to your own #Android issue, you can contact us by using the link provided at the bottom of this page, or you can install our free app from Google Play Store.
When describing your issue, please be as detailed as possible so we can easily pinpoint a relevant solution. If you can, kindly include the exact error messages you are getting to give us an idea where to start. If you have already tried some troubleshooting steps before emailing us, make sure to mention them so we can skip them in our answers.
Problem #1: Some Galaxy Note 5 S Finder categories greyed out and can't be selected
Issue with S Finder. Searching the web for answers to the problem only resulted in 99% "How to remove S Finder!"
In past Android versions, I had availability to all categories when searching the device through S Finder. Now, I have only access to a minimal amount of search results. When first tinkering with this, I checked to see what it was filtering out in the results (https://imgur.com/k2MJcCm). It shows many settings greyed out; strange.
Why would certain settings be greyed out when I did not intentionally exclude them? How can I fix this?
The issue may be related to apps disabled with Package Disabler Pro. If it is, what would need to be enabled in order for fix? If you're thinking "You oddball! Enable S Finder!" Sadly, that isn't the issue. It's already enabled 🙁
If you're not aware, Package Disabler Pro allows you to disable regular apps, system apps and built-in apps. My device is not rooted. — Nick
Solution: Hi Nick. S Finder is just one of the many default applications in your device so you can treat this issue just like any other app problem. The first thing that you want to do is clear the cache and data of S Finder. Assuming you are running the latest Android version, these are the steps to do that:
- Go to Settings.
- Proceed to Applications.
- Select Manage Applications.
- Tap the All tab.
- Tap Storage.
- Choose the name of the app that has been going rogue.
- From there, you will see the Clear Cache and Clear Data buttons.
You can also try to wipe the cache partition of your device to see if it will a difference. Here's how:
- Turn off your Samsung Galaxy Note 5.
- Press and then hold the Home and Volume UP keys, then press and hold the Power key.
- When the Samsung Galaxy Note 5 shows on the screen, release the Power key but continue holding the Home and Volume Up keys.
- When the Android logo shows, you may release both keys and leave the phone be for about 30 to 60 seconds.
- Using the Volume Down key, navigate through the options and highlight 'wipe cache partition.'
- Once highlighted, you may press the Power key to select it.
- Now highlight the option 'Yes' using the Volume Down key and press the Power button to select it.
- Wait until your phone is finished doing the Master Reset. Once completed, highlight 'Reboot system now' and press the Power key.
- The phone will now reboot longer than usual.
We're not familiar with Package Disabler Pro so we really can't say if it's responsible for this problem or not. If you suspect that it's the cause, simply uninstall it.
If the procedures above won't change anything, consider doing a factory reset (steps provided below).
Problem #2: No Whatsapp notifications in Marshmallow-updated Galaxy Note 5
Hi guys. I have a Note 5. i just got an update to 6.0.1 and ever since i got that update i am not getting any Whatsapp notifications in my status bar at all. For example, if i am in another application and i received a Whatsapp message, it would say message from Tom or message from Mary. That's what used to happen before i got the Marshmallow update.
Now what i want to know is if this a new feature from Whatsapp or Marshmellow. is this a bug in the system, a software issue? can someone please tell me?
I haven't found any information anywhere online about this issue. I have check box an all of that already. And it's only the Whatsapp that seems to have this issue.
Has anyone else have this problem and is there's a way i can resolved this? need some answers please. Can someone tell me what's going on? Everything is running fine on the phone. it's very annoying. the phone is 6 months old. Any advice or ways to resolved this issue? I also did a factory reset but that didn't help at all. i have also reinstall Whatsapp twice already. I am at my wits end. — Robert
Solution: Hi Robert. We can't see the logic of an app like Whatsapp removing a system to let a user know of an incoming notification. For us, that doesn't mean logical or even reasonable at all. Every app, especially social networking apps, is supposed to alert a user of any notification. This is a default setting so unless you manually changed it to behave otherwise, or another app disables it, there's no reason why it would not notify you. This can be a firmware glitch, an app bug, or a phone setting that is not configured correctly.
The first thing that you want to do is to ensure that "Show notifications" box is checked under App Info page. Just follow these steps on what to do:
- Go to Settings.
- Proceed to Applications.
- Select Manage Applications.
- Tap the All tab.
- Tap Storage.
- Look for Whatsapp app and tap it.
- Make sure that "Show notifications" box is checked.
Once you've put a check mark on the box, try to send yourself a message in Whatsapp to see if it's working now. If not, go under Whatsapp settings and make sure that you configure the Notifications properly. Make sure that Popup Notification option has the correct selection. There are normally four options under Popup notification:
- No popup
- Only when screen "on"
- Only when screen "off"
- Always show popup
Be sure to select the right one for you. If this won't fix the issue still, contact the app's developer for support.
Problem #3: Galaxy Note 5 turns off by itself and keeps freezing
I just bought my Note 5 this month. On the 5th day, the phone suddenly turn off and can't be turned on. I tried to charge the battery but the screen remains black. After about 6 hours, i tried to turn it on and it does power on. The next day it happens again. So i went to the Samsung service. They told us to wait for an hour for the process. But i leave the phone at my auntie house before even try the phone for a week because i went to overseas.
When i took the phone back, it does work normally. But on the next day, it starts to keep freezing and stuck for like 1 hour in the menu screen. I tried to reboot it and it happens again after one minute. I tried to reboot it again but it still happening. So i try to format the phone. It does work after 3 minutes. But after that, it freeze again. Tried to reboot but keep freezing and stuck. I haven't install any application after the format. Is the problem is in the hardware? But i just bought the phone. Thanks. — Riski
Solution: Hi Riski. If the issue persists after a factory reset and without any apps installed, you bet the issue is hardware in nature. This can be bad battery, or any other hardware component not working properly at this time. The best thing that you can do is to bring the phone to Samsung so they can replace it.
Problem #4: Galaxy Note 5 screen is distorted
Phone screen has lines running through it. 80% of the screen is affected and the whole screen is distorted. I have many pictures of the screen I can forward on. Just need an email address to do so.
Soft reset does not make a difference, seems to be hardware vs software as there is a green line going vertical through and most of the distortion is horizontal. The screen is not cracked (even small) and the device has lived its life in a defender case. The screen protector is the invisible shield.
No other noticeable issues. Phone was fine in the morning and throughout the day. in flight mode to save battery then when I checked the time at one point it was just scrambled. Managed to unlock and turn flight mode off and still use the gpps to navigate home.
The phone was bought from a carrier in Canada and recently moved to Australia and switched carrier. I had the phone unlocked from the carrier one week after purchase.
Thanks for any help you can provide.
I have fixed an older galaxy ace screen before and my even older HTC so I am not afraid of taking it apart if that's what I need to do. — Morgan
Solution: Hi Morgan. If a smartphone screen distorts in whatever orientation, the most likely reason is hardware in nature. If you suspect that it's just a bad software though, the best thing that you can do is to do a factory reset. For reference, here are the steps on how to do that:
- Turn off your Samsung Galaxy Note 5 completely.
- Press and hold the Volume Up and the Home buttons first, and then press and hold the Power key.
- Keep the three buttons pressed and when 'Samsung Galaxy Note5' shows, release the Power key but continue holding the other two.
- Once the Android logo shows, release both the Volume Up and Home buttons.
- The notice 'Installing system update' will show on the screen for 30 to 60 seconds before the Android system recovery screen is shown with its options.
- Use the Volume Down key to highlight the option 'Yes — delete all user data' and press the Power key to select it.
- When the process is complete, use the Volume Down key to highlight the option 'Reboot system now' and hit the Power key to restart the phone.
- The reboot may take a little longer to complete but don't worry and wait for the device to become active.
Once the phone has finished rebooting, you will right away notice the difference. If the screen is still the same, there's no clearer confirmation that you have a malfunctioning screen at hand.
Our blog does not deal with hardware troubleshooting and solutions so if you want to fix the bad screen yourself, try to look for guides in the web.

The greatest and the best SW videogame battle i've ever seen
ps. vote added ;)
Freeworlds: Tides of War is a fan built Star Wars total conversion mod for Digital Anvil's Freelancer game that was released several years ago. When fans began to make mods for Freelancer, one of the many things people were keen on seeing was a Freelancer mod based on the Star Wars universe developed by George Lucas. Freeworlds and Tides of War were the answer to this outcry. The development team of both mods have now joined forces to create an epic new Star Wars TC, Freeworlds: Tides of War.
The greatest and the best SW videogame battle i've ever seen
ps. vote added ;)
Thank you so much. I posted it as an article as well, just waiting for it to be approved. To watch it in better quality, go here: Youtube.com
Got My vote! This is defiantly bringing me back to freworlds. Ah i remember the old days of 1.66, lol. GREAT MOD. I look forward to when you release something(I noticed the release has changed to TBD instead of March 2010. Hope you guys aren't to far behind, lol. Well good luck, and keep up the good work.
Ya, I changed it to TBD because we're adding more content. As a result, it takes more time. However, as you can see, the mod is progressing along well :)
Thanks for the vote!
Well i have to admit that Joe_ker and i love it ! It's impressive. Most impressive ! Would also like to see "The Battle of Endor", "The Battle over Corruscant", and other such reguler canon book and Clone War Battles as well. Man i wish i knew computer tech stuff just to be able to help you guys out. If i only knew how but you can bet your bottom dollar that i'll enjoy your wonderful work of art that all of you involved have worked so feverishly on. Also if i can get my third computer working, i'll have three in a wing here in my room. From the disabled singer of "Slam Corps" saying " You Guy's ROCK" !
Thanks for the kind works, Ballroom! I'm glad you enjoyed it!!
Awesome vid. I wasn't sure about the mission system idea, but wow this really brings home how cool and fun (and team oriented) it will be.
As a side note, they could **visually** benefit from starting closer together, if that's even possible with how AI spawns. In the movies (as you know) the capital ships for each faction were usually pretty close together, allowing fighter battles to slalom in between them. I think that would create a real rush of adrenaline for the crazy pilot willing to engage at close range lol.
I have concerns about the amount of lag in this video.
Only registered members can share their thoughts. So come on! Join the community today (totally free - or sign in with your social account on the right) and join in the conversation.
This is the latest of the ongoing development at Freeworlds: Tides of War. This video encompasses many hours of labour and shows just a glimpse of the epic battles that will await all players. We hope you enjoy watching this video as much as we loved filming it.

I consider that the blessing of a fuller sanctification
descended upon her [Mary, the Mother of God], so as not only to sanctify her birth, but also to keep her
life pure from all sin; which gift is believed to have been bestowed upon none
other born of woman. This singular privilege of sanctity, to lead her life
without any sin, entirely benefited the queen of virgins, who should bear the
Destroyer of sin and death, who should obtain the gift of life and
righteousness for all.

Dear Blair & Quinn,
(A Letter to My Nieces)
You were born into a family of love that has showered you with affection, positivity, and privilege since your first moments on the planet. Blair, I knew you understood this when you were not even 3-years old yet every time a family member left your presence you said, "I love you." You have been surrounded by support, sheltered from ills, and filled with confidence. These are among the greatest gifts in life.
The greatest gift of my life was being close to you both while you were young and forging meaningful relationships with you, as opposed to some fleeting "Santa Claus"-like relative who flew in with gifts once a year, which I would have been had I not been laid off from the P-I.
These blessings of our lives are not shared by everyone with whom we will come in contact. While these blessings enrich us as individuals, they also put on us a great responsibility as citizens – a responsibility that does not make us superior, but forces us to be humble. As you read the rest of this letter, keep that at the top of your mind.
You are loved. Can you take the love that is given to you and transform our society and your world? I believe you have it in you to do that. By loving others and using your imagination.
No, not in the Christian missionary, "our way is better than your way, so let me force my way on you" manner. No, but by meeting people right where they are.
For Black American, "right where they are" is a precarious place.
"Right where they are" is the place where they have lost their family names and heritage, where they been exploited for generations, where they have been owned, then emancipated, then swept to the margins, crammed into ghettoes, surveilled and imprisoned. "Right where they are" is on athletics fields and arenas for the fulfillment of White America's entertainment. "Right where they are" is a place you have never had to imagine.
Imagine it, though.
Our nation has a long history of using its collective imagination for the sake of oppression. We have covered ourselves in white sheets to inflict terror. We have tied people up on the limbs of trees and let them drop to their deaths. We have sterilized minority women with experimental treatments. We have put Native Americans into abusive boarding schools. We have torn apart cultures, ruined the land, and justified it all in the name of Capitalism and "growth."
That is not using our imagination for love. And I cannot believe that is what your pure and loved imaginations will conjure as you grow and mature.
You grew up with a gay uncle, his partner, and a lesbian aunt. You never knew the history people like them endured in the past – the discrimination, the violence, the secrecy. That's because you never saw in them anything different. But you can see people of color and their difference, if not their race's own history.
What if I told you the only difference between them and you was what whiteness did to them? Could you imagine that? Could you love them even if they did not forgive you?
By the time you are old enough to understand this letter, you will have heard racial slurs and racist jokes. Probably even out of the mouths of people you love. You will have seen young black men used for their physicality and disregarded for their intellect. But will you be able to imagine another way?
I implore you to imagine another way. And you can by reading and wondering "why."
Don't wait until you are older. Do it now. Read the Autobiography of Malcolm X and love him. Read Derrick Bell and ask yourself why he and other Critical Race Theorists may have reason to be angered over the stall of the Civil Rights Movement. Read Zygmunt Bauman and push your imagination into ugly possibilities – then climb back out with that love and humbleness.
Wonder why all the time. Why might my friends and neighbors be so racist? Why do people I respect make racist and sexist jokes? Why are their no people of color in my neighborhood? Why do I have it so good? Why do others not? Why does Aunt Mol care about this?
Love others. Imagine equality — real equality, not the kind millionaire politicians rant about while trying to halt unemployment checks to your laid-off neighbor whose house is being foreclosed.
With your love and imagination, you will see the world in a more pessimistic light and it will hurt and frustrate you. But let love and imagination be the shovels and picks with which to dig out of that hurt and frustration.
Make your world better than ours with your love and imagination.
Your aunt,

OMAHA, Neb. – John Savage had to be kicking himself.
He gambled on his rotation in UCLA's opening game of the College World Series against the Florida Gators and it exploded in his face.
Trevor Bauer, starting instead of Gerrit Cole, was shaky, nervous and flustered. He looked frazzled, his mind a cluttered mess, the hot sun pounding every pore, his sweat sweating.
For one at-bat.
Bauer walked the first Florida batter, allowed two first-inning runs, and then settled down to shut down the Gators, 11-3, in front of 23,271.
The Hart of Santa Clarita product surrendered six hits and three runs while striking out 11 in seven innings, setting a new UCLA single-season record with 152 punchouts.
"It's definitely tougher leading off, first game jitters, obviously playing in such a great venue here," Bauer said. "You kind of get a game under your belt and you feel more relaxed, you've kinda gone through it once. For me, it was just another game, trying to execute pitches, go one at a time, and let the results be what they are."
While Bauer was increasingly stable, Florida's pitchers grew more erratic with time. The Gators allowed 18 hits, hit four UCLA batters and committed four wild pitches while facing 51 batters. Starting pitcher Alex Panteliodis was the primary culprit, allowing five runs, four earned, on five hits in 3 1/3 innings, exiting after just 61 total pitches.
"We pecked away at them," Savage said. "We didn't have a home run all night, but it was a typical game offensively for us in terms of (using) the middle of the field. We kept coming – we had two outs, nobody on, and we scored a run. I think we wore their starting pitcher down a little bit, and then we got to their bullpen."
It was a balanced attack by the UCLA offense – five Bruins had multi-hit games and nine batters had hits, as the team scored runs in all but the second inning. Leadoff man Niko Gallego led the way with four hits and two runs, but catcher Steve Rodriguez's two hits, two runs and two RBIs out of the nine-hole were equally impressive.
A tell-tale sign of domination: UCLA left 13 runners on base and still scored 11 runs, its highest total in five College World Series games, and its first CWS win in program history.
"Going into it, we had an approach of taking the fastball away and staying with it up the middle, the middle to right side of the field," Gallego said. "I think we just saw the ball well. (Panteliodis) is a great pitcher, and we knew he was a great pitcher, and we just tried to battle him."
With the win, the Bruins advance to face Texas Christian, which dismantled Florida State, 8-1, in the early game on Saturday. Cole will get his chance against the Horned Frogs on Monday, with the winner waiting until Friday for the chance to advance to the CWS championship series.
"It was a tough decision," Savage said of going with Bauer. "Gerrit has started Friday all season long, and that's the one thing: We've been very consistent, we've been very disciplined on the pitching side of it. We went with the hunch, went with the matchup. It could have backfired. Trevor upheld his end of the deal."

Folksy Flannels for you~(a.k.a. a fabric giveaway!)
**Before I start with some flannel fun and a giveaway, I want to clarify something: The Folksy Flannels collection is a completely different collection of fabrics from both Good Folks (44" quiltweight cotton) and Little Folks (54"voiles, dobby dots). It does combine imagery from both of those collections, but is retranslated into new colorways and is printed on 44" wide cotton flannel. It just so happens that the flannels are shipping before the Little Folks collection which I introduced first and should be shipping before the end of the year last I heard. Is this clarification helping anyone? Better stop before I confuse things more.
We are having a little too much fun with the flannels! These teeny tiny chick brothers & sisters are the smaller part of a book project which I can't share completely yet, since the book isn't out till the spring. But just so you know, they have a very sweet mama and their tiny wings are made of Velcro. There. Thats all yer getting, and the rest will have to wait. Stop it, no, no more.
Besides pajamas, soft toys were some of my first inspirations for these flannels. But they have also proven lovely for patchwork projects as well. My friend Alexia made this beautiful wonky star quilt with the entire Good Morning palette for my market booth. She also made one with the Good Night palette, but I didn't get a piccy of it before it was snatched by my German fabrics distributor for display. (Here's a great tutorial on wonky stars.)
Just a few notes about the sewing and washing- it could just be me, but I do feel like these flannels shrink just a bit more than the standard quilting cottons. Anyone else? That said, it is even more important to prewash them, especially if you are using them in conjunction with other substrates, such as lining a jacket, etc. Once the voiles get here (soon, soon), I can't wait to show you some beautiful options of combining them with the flannels.
Anyway, who wants flannel for free? You can has! I'll send out a full collection of 16 fat quarters to two of you precious people. Leave me a comment, tell me your fav if you want, all of them are slide-showing over here for individual reference. I'll keep the comments open til about mid next week, 'kay?
While we all have the warm fuzzies, how about those loverly people over at Craft for considering me a Star Crafter?! I'm blushing. They have lots of giveaways going on to celebrate the launch of their new site, and more to come, which I'll be helping them out with too! I'll let you know when the Craft/AM giveaway is!
Have a great weekend! xo,Anna

Mmmm, luverly yummy, cosy and snuggly flannel. It's near impossible to get anything but twee 'baby' prints here. These are just stunning. I'm particularly drawn to the raspberry one, the turquoise with yellow flowers and the deers in the moonlight. Oh, don't make me choose! What a wonderfully generous giveaway. Wishing you a fabulous festive season.ReplyDelete
I love them all! I would love to win the full collection of fat quarters and then make a blanket for our bedroom. Once I had the blanket made, I would then choose the wall color! Backwards way of doing this, but I would love to see all of the prints together in our room, in the light, and find a beautiful color to match! Love, love, love.....ReplyDelete
oh, how to choose a favorite. They all are so wonderful and bright. I love it! Hope I win!ReplyDelete
Oh....how I LOVE flannels! I just can't pick; I would have to say the honeycomb flowers are so lovely. I love them all...excellent job as always :)ReplyDelete
How in the world could I possibly pick a favorite? I do love the yellows, though . . . all of them!ReplyDelete
I'd love to say I'd make something to give away, but they're all so lovely, I think I'd make something to keep for myself.ReplyDelete
Oh, I can't pick a favorite! I hope someone will get me the FQ bundles I have on my Christmas wish list! :) As always, beautiful fabrics, and I can't wait for the voile to hit the stores!ReplyDelete
*Very* difficult to pick a favorite, especially when they all look so good together. I love the detail of Coloring Garden but then I also love Village Path. This could take a while. Thank you for your giveaway - your work is just lovely. -amyReplyDelete
They look so cozy in this cold weather. I can't wait to see the project in the new book.ReplyDelete
An assortment of these would be so fun to create with. Thank you for doing a giveaway!
ack! Don't make me pick a favorite! What I love most about your lines of fabric -- this one included -- is that they harmonize so well together. Sure, you can use them individually, but when you put them together, WOW.ReplyDelete
OOOH. fortunemarine i think, but really... geez. so pretty and i've got a baby quilt that needs a back!! ohhh...ReplyDelete
I would love a fat quarter pack so that I could make a super cuddly quilt with the fun colors!ReplyDelete
Too beautiful to pick just one. I love them.ReplyDelete
Ooohh!!! Please please me! me! I am trying to design my new baby's nursery and have been drooling over these for awhile! Preeety Please? (this is Stephanie....Karl's my husband)ReplyDelete
Lovely, as always. I especially like the honeycomb florals if I have to choose a favorite.ReplyDelete
I loves, loves, loves them all. But I especially loves the sketchbook pattern. Please, may I has?ReplyDelete
I LOVE them all but the "diamond mine" prints really grab me. Such a lovely collection! The little birdies are precious. I can't wait for the next book. I've been happily sewing my way through "Seams to Me" since I got it.ReplyDelete
Well, you have completely outdone yourself with these three new collections! However, I am particularly excited about these flannels! I have never sewn with flannel before and have so many things I want to try with this beautiful fabric. I especially love the three diamond prints.ReplyDelete
Hard to pick a favorite but my eyes go right to coloring garden in berry colorway - your amazing 'doodles' are just right :o)ReplyDelete
I'm dreaming of the day when I can quilt a good morning for my big girl and a good night for my little girl to put on their twin beds in our house we are moving to the week of Christmas. or some big softy pillows to lay around on the floor...ReplyDelete
I just keep drooling over your blog and shop site and all other fabric sites for your stuff to inspire all my decorating for my "new" home built in 1860! I CAN'T WAIT for the dobby dots... I want to sew sew sew! The blues and purples and greys... oh I can't wait to get my hands on some and really see the beauty in person!
Oh they are so beautiful and snuggly. I would love to get my hands on Good Morning!ReplyDelete
I love them!! Especially the pink one with the little houses!ReplyDelete
They are all so delicious! Diamond mines in grass (hope I got that name right) makes me smile. I loved my Good Folks fabric sot much I framed 5 of them in my guest/sewing room! So excitred for this giveaway!ReplyDelete
Happy Holidays!
Good night is wonderful. We have a gaggle of boys in the family.ReplyDelete
I think my favorite is the houses with deer (both colorways), but that changes day to day! I bought a whack of these to make into pillowcases for the holidays, but then they'll be all gone! Currently they're brightening a corner of the room as I work my way through them. I'll so miss them once they're gifted!ReplyDelete
i love "little honey" - i can see it as the lining of a light brown corduroy purse! thanks for giving us such amazing designs to work with :)ReplyDelete
Love them all! I can has? I love little honey in both colors. Congrats. I even love love those 6 inch square flannel blankies with the edges that get all fluffed up in the dryer. I could SO see myself using fat quarters of this for that.ReplyDelete
I also seem some flannel jammy pants in my future. "Dress up" homeslave pants! Yay!
Love the Diamond mine in grass color! I absolutely envy your talent!ReplyDelete
Merry Christmas!
They are the most wonderful flannels I've seen in a long time. I'm not normally a flannel girl because they are so manly. These are right up my alley. I can't wait to get my hands on some! And love the wonky star, I use that pattern all the time!ReplyDelete
I love the Forest Hills Midnight. Looks like winter. Brr.ReplyDelete
Coloring Garden in Citrus. It's so me!!! Like you read my mind and made a flannel of my favorite colors & patterns.ReplyDelete
I am not picking a favorite....because that would be impossible. I already have some and they are luscious! I need more! More, please? The best flannel I have ever had, in the very best colors. Makes me happy just looking at them.ReplyDelete
Yum. My fav is fortune.marine. thanks for the free fabric to some lucky, ducky out there.ReplyDelete
I LOVE the Foresthills.Glow...something about it (the little houses maybe) reminds me of how much I loved 'miniatures' when I was younger. And the reindeer make it "Christmasie"...a complete combination of warmth is what I think of when I look at Foresthills.glow. And flannel is oh so soft an warm!ReplyDelete
Love love love the color combos. That purple is amazing and has brought me back to my earlier love of that color. Pick me!ReplyDelete
OMG I love your flannels and your fabrics! I'd love to work with them!ReplyDelete
It's so hard to choose, but I think forest hills is my favourite - it's beautiful!ReplyDelete
Thanks so much Anna Maria! I have adored your fabric designs for a long time now, and just love looking at them in my stash (and using them too of course)!
They are all great, but I think I like Coloring Garden Berry the best! Thanks for the chance at the win!ReplyDelete
Lovely fabrics, I can't choose a fav. Thanks for the chance to win, I am looking forward to the new book.ReplyDelete

i am a huge fan of your fabrics, my own folk dance quilt is in the making. i was super happy when you announced the flannel collection in time for winter time in maine. i think my next sewing project will be definately involve the flannels..i'm thinking some pajamas! i love all the patterns but if i had to choose my absilute favorites, i'd pick fortune marine, little honey sea, fortune sunset and the coloring gardens. your vibrant colors are such an inspiration!ReplyDelete
Love them!ReplyDelete
I think the Village Saffron might be a fav? But hard to say. ;o)
fortune sunset, although how can you really pick just one. They are all so lovely.ReplyDelete
Well, they are all beautiful! In the grid, my favorite is the purple wave on the bottom row. I love it. Trying to figure out where it will go in my house!ReplyDelete
They remind me of my baby pajamas!! Which I called my gunk gown! I love them all, morning, noon or night AM !!!ReplyDelete
ok, first of all they are ALL wonderful! I love, love. If I were to pick my most favorite it's the foresthills prints, they are just so sweet and the colors... well they're even sweeter. Hooray for giveaways, maybe this is my time to win one!! Hope so! Take care Anna, thanks!ReplyDelete
So beautiful! I am in LOVE with the fabric with the little houses in the pink colorway. It feels old-fashioned and totally modern at the same time, which is pretty much perfection. And it reminds me of the covers/illustrations (and general feeling, really) of the Betsy-Tacy children's books by Maud Hart Lovelace, if anyone remembers those!ReplyDelete
Anyway, utterly beautiful. Can't wait to make something lovely for my girls out of this fabric!
LOVE, just love!! My fav is the diamond mine in blue, and the small flowers in the good morning pallette. I am hoping for some money for Christmas, so I can fabric shop. :)ReplyDelete
Are you kidding? How can I pick a favorite?! These are all so beautiful. I can think of fifty projects I could do with Blueberry cobbler and Sundance. And congrats on being a Star Crafter tho, I hope you already know you have made that status in my book a LONG time ago!ReplyDelete
Beautiful! Love them all, but definitely both of the "path" ones. :)ReplyDelete
I LOVE the village path best but they are all delicious!ReplyDelete
I love all of them... but if I had to choose one, I'd say the Good Morning... but, well, I'm not sure... maybe Good Night because I love the blue! I enjoy your blog and your little boy, Roman (love the name) is adorable :) I recently purchased some of your Garden Party fabrics to use in a quilt for my sister... looking forwarding to receiving them and getting it started.ReplyDelete
village path saffron, but really, who can choose a favorite.ReplyDelete
You want me too choose? REALLY? okay fine Village Path Saffron,,,, but I LOVE LOVE LOVE them all. I really need lovely winter project, so help a girl out and pick ME!ReplyDelete
I was just talking with a friend about this today and wondering what I'd use flannel for as it's not something I usually buy. She said she wanted to make a dress for her daughter out of it and suggested I make myself a shirt, which I thought was totally inspired and perfect for winter. I'm thinking a loose fitted shirt out of the diamond mine dusk!ReplyDelete


text: On April 13, the New York Supreme Court, Appellate Division, Second Department issued an opinion reversing a lower court order dismissing a foreclosure action against a borrower who signed a mortgage note electronically ("eNote"). New York Community Bank v. McClendon, 2016 N.Y. Slip Op. 02790 (N.Y. Supp. April 13, 2016). In the proceedings below, the lower court had granted the borrower's motion to dismiss the foreclosure complaint for lack of standing, accepting the argument that the plaintiff mortgagee lacked standing because it could not produce a chain of valid assignments of the eNote from the original lender to itself. In opposition to the motion to dismiss, the mortgagee had submitted, among other things, a copy of the eNote and a print out of an electronic record of the transfer history of the eNote ("Transfer History") showing a chain of transfers from the original lender to itself. The court observed that the eNote qualified as a "Transferable Record" under Section 201 of the Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act ("ESIGN") and that a person is in "control" of a Transferable Record if "a system employed for evidencing the transfer of interests in the transferable record reliably establishes that person as the person to which the transferable record was issued or transferred." Citing the UCC, the court further observed that the holder of the eNote would have standing to foreclose and that any person with "control" of the eNote is its holder. After establishing this legal framework, the court concluded that the Transfer History, together with the eNote, were sufficient to establish that the plaintiff mortgagee had control of the eNote under ESIGN and therefore had standing to foreclose as the holder. According to the court, because these rules governing Transferable Records applied to the eNote, the failure of the plaintiff mortgagee to produce proof of assignment was "irrelevant" and the complaint should not have been dismissed for lack of standing.

Mailer basically cops out of the project by sending a letter back to David's editor, which is then printed as Mailer's submission. It's quite funny and he coins the term "the fonts of Fucking," which made me wonder if there isn't a typesetter out there considering the best fonts for erotic fiction. I'm imagining a seductive, almost scripty, serif that sows seeds into the soil as it reads along the page, but I digress. If you haven't seen this book, find it. Julian Barnes and the letter "U" is my second favorite...so sinister that word "unless."
Oh and if you don't know who David Hockney is, you might recognize one of the models that appears moderately naked in many of his paintings as his mentee/muse, Ian Falconer, well known for his New Yorker illustrations and the famous children's book character, Olivia (the Drag Bio-Queen Pig)...ah, the small uber-gay world of publishing.

Finally, state keeps a promise

|Sonali gets her job letter from chief minister Hemant Soren while HRD minister Geetashree Oraon looks on at Kasturba Gandhi school, Kasmar, near Bokaro on Tuesday. (Pankaj Singh)
Bokaro, Feb. 4: Chief minister Hemant Soren today handed a job letter to acid attack survivor Sonali Mukherjee, keeping his promise made to the gutsy 28-year-old woman who had almost lost faith in her state after years of lip-service given by previous chief ministers.
Sonali will join work tomorrow at "9am sharp" as a Grade III clerk at the Bokaro deputy commissioner's office.
Dressed in a green salwar-kameez and a yellow dupatta, Sonali said she was glad she got her job letter on the day of Saraswati Puja.
"Since April 2003, when I was attacked with acid, I have come this far by sheer grace of god. May god give no girl my pain. If someone is as unlucky as me, may god give her guts to fight and a family as supportive as mine," she told The Telegraph after the event, a smile on her lips and tears rolling down her near-sightless eyes.
Eleven years ago, three youths, whose advances she had spurned, had poured acid on her when she was sleeping.
In a flash, the face of the pretty college girl-cum-NCC cadet melted. So did the life she had known.
Her eyesight and hearing were damaged irreparably, her burnt skin was vulnerable to infections. Since 2003, Sonali underwent over 20 reconstructive surgeries, funded mostly by NGOs.
Her story moved the nation to tears when she appeared on Kaun Banega Crorepati. Recently, the Supreme Court ordered stringent curbs on over-the-counter sale of acid to check attacks on girls like Sonali.
On the dais today, she thanked Hemant for "fulfilling his promise", NGOs, supporters and the media.
Besides Hemant, former chief minister and JMM chief Shibu Soren, human resources minister Geetashree Oraon and Dumri MLA Jagannath Mahto and other dignitaries applauded the braveheart.
Hemant also laid the foundation stone for welfare projects worth Rs 32 crore for Bokaro district at the event.
