after our sail to anegada and another night in tortola, we stopped at a small, uninhabited island near jost van dyke, called sandy cay.
we tied our catamaran up to a mooring ball near the island and drove the dingy onto the beach. these gopro pictures don't do it justice, so just believe me when i tell you it was one of the most beautiful beaches i've ever ever seen.
we walked around the island and explored this trail that went through the center of it, in one big loop. there was a really beautiful view from a cliff at the top of the trail, and a big tree a little more than halfway through.
after the boys climbed the big tree, we were leisurely walking along the rocky path with our bare feet when a young australian man came toward us from the opposite direction on the path, stopped in front of us and said, "are you all from the catamaran with the blue sail bag? it's broken a mooring ball and is drifting away."
...needless to say, we all ran as fast as we could back to the beach only to find that our catamaran looked like a tiny little white spec, drifting out amongst the deeper blues.
the australian man hopped back on his dingy, wished us luck, and then rode on back to the gigantic yacht that was anchored near the island (straight off the bow in the first picture of this post ^^).
and because our little dingy went painfully slow with six people in it, chelsea and her dad raced off to save our Friend Ship on their own, leaving angela, barrhett, dan, and i to nervously bite our nails on the beach...
actually, the boys went back onto the trail, monkey-climbed a palm tree and knocked down some coconuts, while angela and i went for a swim to cool off. because luckily, our Friend Ship was drifting back into the channel, so it wasn't in danger of running aground or harming any other vessels. we knew chelsea and captain chuck would get our boat back without a scratch... so we figured why not enjoy being stranded on this pretty island in the mean time? :)
it turns out, the mooring ball broke off way down at the base, perhaps from the weight of our boat. you BET we reversed on every single mooring ball we tied up to after that! because drifting loose in the middle of a crowded harbor would've been a lot more serious than drifting away from an uninhabited island...
so as far as kind of losing an expensive boat goes, we were pretty lucky! ;)

Take my word for it, everybody around you is affected.
In my experience it is crucial; that everybody without exception; parents grandparents children – (significant other) who ever is directly involved in your immediate life
All have a sit down with your pain doctor and have them ask any question, let the doctor answer, believe you me it carries a lot more weight if the same words came from a doctors mouth, then yours.
I remember some of the question; my parents both in the seventies asking the doctor if I'm going to become a drug addict? My son asked if I was going to die, my wife just simply asked;
"Please tell me when am I going to get my husband back?".
I will be honest with you; it was not easy for me to sit back and listen to them, to see the desperation on their faces. I never realized how much it affected them.
You know something; at the end of the day, my pain situation did not change, however;
Now when I take my pain killers in front of my parents I'm not questioned any more, when I have one of my flair ups and my pain levels are extreme my kids know, this will not kill me( leaving toys on the floor so I could trip over them will)
As for my wife, well let us just say; we are optimistic.
Understanding the situation with the "right" information is, one of the most important step in the recovery process
Remember; as bad as you feel a hug goes along way, they need it.
Keep smiling
A little back ground;
I'm a 48yrs old male, I have moderate to severe chronic pain everyday of my life for the past10 years,
I was diagnosed with; myelopathy, steno sis in the neck, severe D.D.D
At 37 I had to have a lamanectomy from C3 to C7 inclusive, do to herniated disc that affected my spinal cord. The doctors have made it very clear that there is real nothing left to try, medically.
Presently I can not feel with my hands, no sensation, I have pain from my head to my toes. I have been on every type of pain medication and all stopped working after a while
Now I take Lyrica and and medical marijuana
(My advice to the world ," acceptance, never give up, keep your self occupied . get physiological help, just to put things into prospective. Try to smile)

Investigators said Friday they are looking for a crew cab pickup truck whose occupants may have information about the death of a 29-year-old Topeka man who was found Feb. 15 in a roadway southeast of Topeka.
George K. Winter II was found lying dead on a street about 4:37 a.m. on S.E. Howard Drive just east of S.E. Croco, the Shawnee County Sheriff's Office said.
When investigators released Winter's name Tuesday, they also said they were seeking information from the public about any activities occurring in the area where his body was found between 2 a.m. and 4:30 a.m. that Saturday.
The sheriff's office hasn't released any information about how Winter died.
On Friday, investigators said in a news release they are seeking information on a newer model full- to mid-sized crew cab truck that may have a brush guard, tool box and/or running boards.
"This vehicle is believed to have been in the area around the time the body was discovered," the release said.
Investigators said the sheriff's office believes the occupants of the truck could have information that would help detectives with the investigation.
Anyone with information about the truck or any other information relating to the incident may contact Detective Bryan Clemmons at (785) 251-2254 or Detective Kevin Kasl at (785) 251-2248. Anonymous tips may be provided via Crime Stoppers at (785) 234-0007.

If Mitt Romney loses the presidency, pundits and TV talkers will undoubtedly assign some of the blame — or credit — to one evening he spent this spring at Marc Leder's $3 million mansion west of Boca Raton.
Details about what Romney said there on May 17 are now coming out, thanks to a surreptitiously recorded video. Further complicating the mission of a presidential campaign struggling to gain the upper hand in the 24-hour news cycle, the Republican candidate described 47 percent of Americans as people who don't take responsibility for their lives and think government should take care of them.
Romney's self-inflicted wound came on a night when about 100 well-dressed supporters gathered for drinks and a sit-down dinner in a room with high ceilings and pale yellow walls to mingle with the candidate, hear him speak in an intimate setting — and feed the campaign's already healthy bank account.
This wasn't an evening of political war stories told over beer and bar nuts. It was a $50,000-a-person affair at Leder's six-bedroom, nine-bath house in the gated Long Lake Estates community in unincorporated Palm Beach County. The wealthy neighbors include one couple who spent $155,000 to clone their dog.
Romney sat down for a few minutes, ate quickly and then spoke extemporaneously for about 45 minutes.
No one in the room reacted when Romney made the comments, said a major Republican donor who was present but didn't want to be identified to avoid attracting national media attention.
"Everyone kind of got it," the attendee told the Sun Sentinel. "Nothing out of the ordinary."

At 6:12 in Tennessee
the sun's up high enough
already that it's lost its
red-ball glow but not
so high it's lost
its there's-a-whole-day-ahead
look. At this hour in Santa Fe
it's 5:12. There's still
a milky-blue in the air where
a red-ball glow will soon be
and still the yip-yip
of a coyote here and there,
the nearly silent swishing
that rattlesnakes make
wending their way home over
dry red clay. There're
not that many rattlesnakes
in Tennessee, but suns with
as much red-ball glow
as the ones out in New Mexico.
They just get up earlier,
that's all.

Alfonso Soriano, Aramis Ramirez, Ryan Theriot get day off vs. Astros
By Dave van Dyck
For the day game after a night game, Cubs' manager Lou Piniella rested three of his regulars -- Alfonso Soriano, Aramis Ramirez and Ryan Theriot -- for the finale of the three-game series with Houston.
Soriano played one game after receiving a cortisone shot in his left knee Sunday, but said Wednesday morning that "my knee feels much better" although he will need a rest at times. Ramirez still feels the effect of his ailing left shoulder and Theriot has started the majority of games at shortstop this season.
The lineup had a completely different look behind starter Ted Lilly, with Kosuke Fukudome batting leadoff, newly recalled Andres Blanco batting second and Milton Bradley int he cleanup spot.

Jane Holland's comments on how she goes about fixing 'failed' poems are very instructive.
The time element is important for me. Leaving poems and not looking at them for months often helps me to identify the bits that don't work.
I also identify with the section on conclusions. Often poems don't work well because the ending isn't good enough. I very rarely get my conclusion right on the first draft or two and I'm amazed at poets who start writing their poems already knowing how they're going to finish off! In one way, I feel envious. In another way, I wonder if that prior knowledge is restrictive and liable to tie down poems too much. I guess people's brains work differently when it comes to writing a poem.
For me, the most interesting part of Jane's commentary was this:
'So what did I change, in these 'laid-aside' poems, to make them good enough to enter in a poetry competition? Well, first of all, I read each one through several times so that I could hear the rhythm of the poem before I started carelessly hacking at it. Once I felt comfortable with the rhythm, I began making notes on the poem itself with a pencil…'
and later on:
'…the most useful thing seems to be arriving early at a sense of the poem's original rhythm and purpose. That's why I advocate reading it through several times and letting the poem sink into your psyche, bad lines and all, before beginning any salvage work. For its rhythm is the poem, and without grasping that fully within yourself, you will only destroy the 'good' parts of the poem by making cuts and revisions which don't take rhythm into account.'
It's well worth checking out the full essay.

Fixing Poems
Labels: poetry

Dunno about 'essay', more a sort of hotchpotch of random thoughts on how I go about mending poems which probably ought to stay broken, but thanks for the plug!
I regularly feel I have no idea what I'm doing with poetry. Other times I feel sure enough to talk about it confidently in public.
Good to see my name up on your site!

Quite good for a hotchpotch! I think a lot of what you say applies to revision generally as much as to fixing failures.

Conan the Barbarian
May 08, 2015 | 5:11 p.m.
Flashback Friday: Revisiting Arnold Schwarzenegger's breakout hit 'Conan the Barbarian'
Today's theatrical release of Arnold Schwarzenegger's latest film, "Maggie," offers a chance to revisit "Conan the Barbarian," the 1982 film which helped establish the former bodybuilder as a bona fide action star. Though Schwarzenegger had acted in previous films, "Conan" served as a breakout role. The cinematic tale revolves around Conan's quest to avenge his parents' deaths, after seeing them die at the hands of Thulsa Doom (James Earl Jones), the leader of a cult of snake-worshipers. Schwarzenegger's physique was the embodiment of the fantasy hero as depicted by illustrator Frank Frazetta. The Cimmerian was created by Robert E. Howard for Weird Tales Magazine in 1932, but Frazetta is credited for redefining the graphic representation of Conan in the 1960s. "If ever there was a Frazetta hero come alive, it's Schwarzenegger, who developed his awesome bulk with a careful eye […]

Arnold Schwarzenegger's Conan prepping for his 'Unforgiven' turn
Before he was the Terminator, he was Conan the Barbarian. Now, some 30 years after his screen breakthrough in "Conan the Barbarian," the former Governor of California Arnold Schwarzenegger has signed on to a new movie project that would see him reclaim his warrior's throne. Universal confirmed today that it is moving forward on "The Legend of Conan," as the new movie will be titled (with a planned release in 2014). The project arrives as the latest splashy star vehicle for the Governator, who inhabits a small part in two "Expendables" films, will be next seen as a small-town sheriff battling a drug cartel in "The Last Stand," set for release early next year, and is currently filming "Ten," a David Ayer-directed thriller in which he portrays a Drug Enforcement Administration agent. Created in the 1930s by pulp author Robert […]

'Game of Thrones' and 'Conan': Jason Momoa goes for the throat
Twenty-three floors above city pavement, Jason Momoa leaned on a window at the Ritz Carlton and stared down at the bright lights of his Hollywood hopes. "There it is, look at that," the 32-year-old actor said, nodding toward the huge "Conan the Barbarian" banner and waiting red carpet at the Regal Cinemas across the street. "You know, I've never owned a suit before but I got one for tonight." Many of Momoa's fans have never seen the brawny star in a shirt much less a tuxedo. Not only is he the star of Lionsgate's "Conan" he portrayed the even more ferocious Drogo on 10 episodes of the acclaimed HBO series "Game of Thrones." Next up is Walter Hill's "Bullet to the Head" with Sylvester Stallone and Christian Slater. Our Geoff Boucher sat down with the Honolulu native before the premiere of "Conan," which […]

New 'Conan' movie aims to bring back the barbarian
Conan the Barbarian doesn't ask for much. "I live, I love, I slay, I am content," he's fond of saying. But the people behind Friday's sword-and-sandals remake have more complicated ambitions for the big bruiser: putting some barbarity back into the barbarian. Created in the 1930s by pulp author Robert E. Howard and immortalized by Arnold Schwarzenegger in 1982's camp-movie classic, Conan the Barbarian evolved from a menacing killer into an amiable superhero. Featured in Marvel comic books, a Saturday morning cartoon and a Universal Studios Hollywood stage show, the conqueror slowly but unquestionably went soft. Lionsgate, Nu Image and Paradox Entertainment hope their new "Conan the Barbarian" movie restores some of the swordsman's edge. In reinventing Conan, the filmmakers have jammed the movie with scenes reminiscent of an array of recent films, including "Lord of the Rings," "Pirates of […]

Muscle summer — the men of 'Captain America,' 'Thor' and 'Conan'
A barbarian has needs — a sword, a shield and roughly 56 chicken breasts a week. That's what Jason Momoa ate while filming "Conan the Barbarian," this summer's big-screen reboot of the series that launched Arnold Schwarzenegger's action movie career in 1982. Over a few months in 2010, Momoa, a 6-foot-4-inch Hawaiian actor and model, added about 30 pounds of muscle to his 205-pound frame to play two high-profile, bare-chested plunderers — Conan and Khal Drogo, the 7-foot-tall warrior-king marauding on HBO's "Game of Thrones." Momoa isn't the only actor whose T-shirts have gotten a lot tighter recently: Dwayne Johnson packed 30 pounds onto his already brawny 6-foot-4-inch frame to grapple as a lawman opposite meaty Vin Diesel in "Fast Five." Chris Hemsworth gained so much bulk to wield "Thor's" giant, magic hammer convincingly that his costume didn't fit. And […]

Today is the final day of the presidency of George W. Bush and Dick Cheney. I spent quite a bit of time thinking about which image would summarize - also in a symbolic way - these past eight years, this pair and what they have achieved, and I think it's this image.
During his first campaign, George W. Bush liked to talk about how he was a "compassionate conservative", and he turned out to be the exact opposite. George W. Bush is a callous, lazy, and superficial man; and his presidency was based on an right-wing ideology that combines extreme nationalism with an almost fanatical belief in the "free market".
The hooded man is the logical consequence of all of this, the culmination of an obsession with power (and violence) and an utter disregard for basic human needs and suffering - the same combination that not only caused the disastrous wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, but also torture and prison camps (many of them secret), a Ponzi-scheme based economy (which at the time of this writing is in free fall), and domestic neglect, with its most extreme result being the abandonment of people drowning in the heart of an American city, in New Orleans, while the President's plane was flying overhead for a photo opportunity.
Tomorrow, this presidency will be over, but what it brought will remain with us for a long time. I think it's the realization how truly and massively Bush/Cheney besmirched what people think of as "the American dream" that, to a large extent, is responsible for the excitement about and anticipation of Barack Obama being sworn in as President, even amongst many people who either did not support him initially or who did not vote for him.

For sure, Joan of Arc isn't exactly an everyday object of interest in America, no more than it is in France for that matter, but nevertheless, the few opportunities I've had to meet this character mentioned in the American press or books, it looks like there's some sort of sympathy -if not mild fascination- with this 19 year old maid who contributed decisively to oust the English out of XVth century France.
Ousting the English out of some territories... Hmmm... Is that music to American ears?
Also, Joan, from the very beginning of her self appointed mission, never failed to recall she heard divine voices telling her to deliver France and that God was always her inspiration. Does this religious component of her story contribute to the interest and respect she may enjoy among a certain segment of the American population?
And who would have expected the great American writer, Mark Twain, to write an imaginary biography of the French national heroin?
Now, when I come across Joan of Arc when speaking with English people or when her name is mentioned in the British literature, I can feel some uneasiness. The less she's talked about, the better it seems.
And I was wondering if Americans in general don't make a connection between the story of Joan of Arc and their own experience of English purported intolerance which eventually led their ancestors to leave England and settle in the new world.

Seneca Resources Announces Plan to Convert Marcellus Drilling Rigs to Natural Gas
Seneca Resources Corporation ("Seneca"), the wholly-owned exploration and production subsidiary of National Fuel Gas Company (NYSE: NFG) ("National Fuel" or the "Company") today announced plans to complete the conversion of two of its Pennsylvania drilling rigs to cleaner-burning natural gas, displacing the diesel fuel currently used to power equipment at the well site. These will be the first dedicated 100 percent liquefied natural gas (LNG)-fueled drilling rigs operating in the Marcellus Shale within Pennsylvania.
The first rig was converted earlier this month in Lycoming County. The conversion of a second rig should be completed in early November. Seneca will also deploy a third rig that will run on both diesel and natural gas during this fiscal year.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — The Broncos knew what was coming. They knew the Titans' plan of attack, they knew how they needed to counter, and they knew the disaster that could unfold if they didn't.
But their knowledge alone couldn't save them.
With an offense nonexistent for much of the game, the Broncos fell to the Titans, 13-10, here Sunday afternoon. Denver fell to 8-5 and severely damaged its wild-card playoff hopes with three tough games remaining.
Quarterback Trevor Siemian returned from a one-game absence because of a foot injury and nearly rallied the Broncos late but tight end A.J. Derby fumbled after a reception at Denver's 40 with under a minute left to end the game. Siemian was battered again, including being sacked twice and suffering a lacerated left hand. But he hung in to complete 35 of 51 pass attempts for 334 yards and a touchdown with no interceptions.
The numbers were impressive, but they belied Denver's offensive inefficiency that produced only 18 rushing yards and no points through three quarters.
The Titans jumped to a 10-0 first quarter lead early behind the quick feet of running back DeMarco Murray and quarterback Marcus Mariota. Tennessee had 138 rushing yards by halftime and finished with 180.
Seemingly everything that could go wrong early on offense for Denver did. But what the offense lacked the defense seemed to gain with flared tempers.
Titans wide receiver Harry Douglas nailed cornerback Chris Harris with a cheap shot to his right knee late in the second quarter. Harris dropped to the ground in pain and his teammates crowded around the Titans in his defense. Harris slowly stood to his feet, but issued a few of his own words before walking off.
On the next play Broncos cornerback Aqib Talib took out his frustrations, pouncing on him on the sideline, his actions sparking a brawl that drew Talib a personal foul. The free first down allowed the Titans' drive to drag on for 8:04, longest in the NFL this season. It took many bizarre turns, with three penalties and chants of "Refs, you suck!" from the crowd.
After 19 plays, Tennessee settled for a field goal to extend its lead to 13-0 at the half.
That the lead wasn't larger was a credit to the Broncos' pass defense and ticked-off secondary that held Mariota for the game to 6-of-20 for 88 passing yards.
The defense's work left the door ajar for the offense to, as it usually does, wait until the second half to come alive. On cue, it did.
Siemian opened the third quarter by spraying passes to receivers Emmanuel Sanders and Jordan Taylor, an obvious affront to a running game going nowhere. Late in the third quarter punter Riley Dixon threw for a 16-yard fake-punt completion to wide receiver Cody Latimer to jump start a drive. Siemian connected with Demaryius Thomas to convert two more third downs. The drive was a revival of sorts, but it fell short of a score, ending on a failed fourth-down early in the fourth quarter.
Denver's scoring drought would end, finally, on the Broncos' subsequent drive, as it completely abandoned the running game. Siemian found Sanders for a 3-yard touchdown to cut the lead to 13-7 with 10 minutes left.
On its next drive, Denver was moving for a potential go-ahead score, with Thomas's catch for a 13-yard completion on third down putting the Broncos at the Tennessee 6. But a sack and then an incomplete pass left Denver with a 3-and15. Siemian's pass hit Bennie Fowler in the hands at the goal-line but Fowler dropped the ball. Brandon McManus's 34-yard field goal made it 13-10.
Denver's defense held pat, but Derby's fumble ended Denver's last gasp.
The disaster had unfolded.

MONTGOMERY, AL (WAFF) - If you're heading to Auburn to watch the Tigers or to Atlanta to see the Crimson Tide, you should have construction-free sailing on the state's interstates over the holiday weekend.
The Alabama Department of Transportation said there will be no temporary lane closures on the interstates from noon Friday to midnight Monday.
The Labor Day weekend traffic is expected to be heavy, anyway, but the opening weekend of college football increases the likelihood of even more motorists on the highways.
ALDOT said limiting roadwork during the holiday period is a safety measure for travelers, construction workers and maintenance crews. The department limits road construction during major holiday weekends but emergency lane closures may be possible depending on circumstances on the interstates and other state roadways.
During last year's Labor Day 78-hour holiday period, 11 people died in vehicle crashes on Alabama roadways.

June is National Garage Door Safety Month
June is national garage door safety month! While garage door safety is important all year round, make this an opportunity to make sure everything is operating safely because more time is often spent in the garage in the summer months.
10 Garage Safety Tips
1. Make sure garage door opener control button is out of the reach of small children.
2. Do not let children play with garage door remote controls.
3. Consult the owner's manual and learn how to use the garage door's emergency release feature.
4. Visually inspect the garage door each month. Look at springs, cables, rollers and pulleys for signs of wear. Do not attempt to remove, adjust or repair these parts or anything attached to them. A trained door repairman must make adjustments to these parts, which are under high tension.
5. Test the garage door opener's reversing mechanism monthly by placing a 2 x 4 board or a roll of paper towels in the door's path. If the door does not reverse after contacting the object, call a qualified garage door professional for repair. If the opener has not been replaced since 1993, seriously consider a new one with auto-reverse as a standard feature.
6. Never place fingers between door sections and explain the dangers to children. If you have small children, consider a door with panels that can't pinch.
7. Do not leave the garage door partially open. When activated again, it may travel downward and come in contact with an object in its path. This also impacts your home's security as well.
8. While on vacation, unplug the garage door opener unit or use a wall vacation lock console security switch, which renders remotes unusable and is an optional accessory to most openers.
9. If the opener does not have rolling-code technology, which changes the access codes each time the opener is used to prevent code grabbing, be sure to change the manufacturer's standard access codes on the opener and remote control, or consider investing in a newer model with more safety and security features that are now standard.
10. A new trend in home invasion is gaining access to the home by stealing the opener or car. Never leave the remote control in the car or with a parking attendant. Consider using a key chain remote and always lock the entry to the inside of your home – especially if your opener is programmed to your vehicle. It is a small inconvenience for safety and security.

Good morning, and Happy Tuesday! I'm SO, SO, SO excited about this guest post! Lyndsay from The Happy Chateau is here sharing an awesome knock off project (and you know how much I LOVE knock offs (and I also love Nate Berkus … and Target, and this post covers 'em all!!). I'll let Lyndsay get right to it, but be sure to check out some of her other awesome projects at the end (and then go tell her 'hello' at her awesome blog!).
Here's Lyndsay …
Hello readers from View from the Fridge! I'm Lyndsay from The Happy Chateau. I live in a rental house in the suburbs and I blog about the decorating and craft projects that I make so that our rental house actually feels like home.
I'm so excited to be guest posting today for Katie. I love her fun style, and especially enjoyed the week of Anthropologie knock-offs she did this spring (I want to make my own pillow like this one). I decided to make my own knock-off pillow to share with you today.
Mine is inspired by this Nate Berkus pillow from Target, which retails for $24.99. I only had to purchase less than a dollar's worth of fabric, making my pillow a steal by comparison!
Let's walk through how to make your own version of this fringed pillow!
– white or beige fabric, about 1/2 yard depending on the size of the pillow you want to make. I had some white fabric from some old Ikea curtains, so I just used that.
– 8.5″ x 11″ sheet of black felt. Although I love the teal color on the original pillow, I thought black and white would be a graphic punch in my living room.
– thread to match your fabric. I used white thread that I had on hand already
– pillow insert. I just recovered an old pillow that was collecting dust in my craft supplies.
Start off by measuring your pillow. This pillow has an envelope enclosure in the back, so you'll need 3 pieces of fabric for the pillow plus another piece for the decorative panel on the front. I always allow 1/2″ seam allowance. To make a pillow with an envelope enclosure, you cut out one piece the full size of the pillow, then two smaller pieces. The smaller pieces overlap in the back. Hopefully this will make more sense as you see the pictures of the one I made!
My pillow is 20″ square, so I cut out the following pieces: one 21″ x 21″ square, one 17″ x 21″ piece, one 10″ x 21″ piece, and one 8″ x 21″. The diagram below shows what each piece refers to.
Once all my pieces were cut out, I started working on the decorative panel. I had estimated the panel to be about 2/3 the length of the pillow on my inspiration piece, so that's how I came up with 8″ (remember that seam allowance). I sewed a seam on the decorative panel on both of the long ends (the sides that were 21″).
Then you make the fringe! I chose to use felt because leather was just too expensive, and the felt is sturdy enough to produce the same look. Cut the felt into rectangles. Mine were 2 1/4″ by 3″.
To make the little tassels, I made a series of cuts in each felt rectangle, creating a fringe out of each piece. Then I folded each square in thirds, ending up with a tassel from each felt rectangle.
I sewed a quick seam along the top of each tassel to make sure it didn't come unrolled, then I pinned all the tassels on the back of the decorative panel.
Then I just sewed straight down the edge, securing all the little tassels to the decorative panel. I flipped it around and sewed the tassels on the other side as well. Next I pinned the decorative panel to the piece of fabric for the front of the pillow. I sewed the decorative panel to the fabric right along the same side seams, which further reinforced the tassels being held firmly in place.
Almost done! Next I created the envelope closure for the back of the pillow. I ironed one of the long edges of both of the two pieces of fabric for the back (the 21″ side). Then I folded it over the ironed edge and ironed it again to create a clean look. I sewed the ironed fabric for each of the two pieces of fabric.
Time to put this pillow together! I laid the finished front piece down, decorative tassels facing me. I laid the smaller piece of fabric on top of it.
I laid the other piece of fabric for the envelope enclosure on top of that. As you can see, it overlaps with the smaller piece, which creates that envelope enclosure for the pillow to fit through.
The last step is to sew a straight seam around all four edges of the pillow cover. Remember to leave 1/2″ seam allowance! Then turn your cover right side out and put it over your pillow. You're done!
I put my new pillow on the couch in my living room, where it really pops against some of the other pillows.
I just love how it turned out! The fun fringe detail is playful and the black and white makes it a bit sophisticated at the same time.
As a renter, it's my mission to add bold colors and textures since I can't change up my wall colors or floors.
Thanks for reading about my Nate Berkus knock off pillow cover! I hope you're inspired to make your own!
Thanks for having me, Katie! You're welcome to stop over to see my blog at The Happy Chateau, or to catch up with me via social media.

Miss posting!
I haven't posted in what seems like forever, and I miss it! Also, my sister is getting a little irritated that she hasn't been seeing the niece's and nephews as regularly as she should. So this one is for her, a couple of photos to keep her happy and up to date. The picture of my son on the red couch is being blown up to 24 by 30 for my basement. I've been needing one of him to finish my wall of all seven of my children, so with this one it will be complete, so I'm so excited to see it finished!

Provided I had the qualifications to receive an offer at a biglaw firm in the first place, would it be feasible to lateral (or get interviews at least) into biglaw after one year of experience working for a solo practitioner (if it makes any difference, he/she is an HYS grad who worked at a highly regarded biglaw firm/boutique for 10 years)?
I don't really know how to compare my experience to that of other associates so what would you be looking for?
Feasible, sure...but you need a convincing story and this is a wacky path.
Really appreciate your answer.
Ah I see.
Basically I struck out at OCI due to various reasons, including poor bidding/interviewing. Drastically improved interviewing skills but a little too late. Couldn't find a job post-grad for decent transactional work. Family friend does solo startup/VC corp work and offered to take me in and seemed like a good opportunity to get my hands dirty and learn one-on-one in an area I'm interested in. Great training so far but was wondering what my options are.
Hopefully this isn't too wacky. Thoughts?
So that's a different story/question
Go do that, as best you can. Then try to see if you get good at it / like it. Then pitch yourself to a growing firm interested in that area and volunteer to drop a year. Win.

Retief Goosen in the Lead at the World Golf Championship!
Retief Goosen is in the lead at the World Golf Championships this week. At 4 under par, it's hard to tell whether that will keep up by the end of the day as Steve Stricker is about to finish with some more birdies.
My predictions for this week's winner?
Well, I have no predictions really this week as there's so many great players playing. If I had to put some bets, I might have it on Andy Kim, Kenny Perry, or maybe Retief Goosen.
My prediction is that either a multi-PGA Tour winner this year or a hiding veteran player like Retief will win it.
Is this 4th major?
No, of course not, the course is too easy if the leader is shooting 4 under par. WGC cannot be considered a major until the courses are made way tougher.

Ring-Tailed Lemur Twins Starting to Venture Off of Mom
The ring-tailed lemur twins born on March 25th are growing up fast, and are even starting to get off mama and play with each other.
Play is a rehearsal for what they need to do in their adult life, so wrestling is for learning combat skills and running around after each other is good practice for avoiding predators. They still run back to mom after all that activity, however, and climb up on her back. Or, one will take the "jockey" position and the other will cling to her belly for nursing privileges.
Their two older brothers Howie and Finnegan are delighted with their new, tiny siblings, and occasionally try to run off with them when they do venture off. Mother Cairrean has an opinion about that, and chases them down and cuffs their ears as discipline for stealing her newest charges, before abruptly taking them back.
The twins still spend a lot of time perched on mama's back, surveying the world from the safety of her fur. They startle at grackles, seem astounded at the Madagascar big-headed turtles when they move, and look to the protection of their mother when a Life Flight helicopter flies over their exhibit. Everything is new and interesting right now and they still have a lot to learn!
Check out this video and see if you can spot both babies. It's not easy…

Hey, this all came up on Twitter this morning. Ayende is complaining about the Wheel of Time going on until 2011, but I've got him beat. *I've* been reading on that thing since '90.
I simply have too much invested in the Wheel of Time to drop it or knock it down. You know how so many people overlooked the fact that the last two seasons of Battlestar Galactica were utterly unwatchable (oh look, Kara is screaming and throwing a fit. Again. Oh look, Apollo is being angsty again. Oh look, Tigh is being grumpy again)? That's how I am about the Wheel of Time. Here's my list in no particular order.
- The Wheel of Time – Robert Jordan
- The Black Company – Glenn Cook.
- Hyperion/Endymion – Dan Simmons
- Night's Dawn Trilogy – Peter F. Hamilton (I like the Starflyer/Pandora's Star series too, but it doesn't make the cut)
- The Chronicles of Amber – Roger Zelazny.
- A Song of Fire and Ice – George R R Martin. Yes, I too think it's a stronger written version of the WoT, but is suffering from the exact same problems in the last book. There's supposedly an HBO series in the works now. Betcha it'll be gritty.
- Death's Gate Cycle – Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman. I think this is by far and away their strongest series
- Malazan Book of the Fallen – Steven Erickson. Much, much better when you read them back to back. Way too complex for a casual reader. Takes true dedication.
- The Baroque Cycle – Neal Stephenson. Barely qualifies, but there's some fantastical elements with the Elihu Root character and Stephenson has to make the list
- The Dark Tower – Stephen King. 5 years later and I've finally come to grips with the way that the last book ended. I think the Wizards and Glass book is my favorite single book in any of this.
Just Missed the Cut:
- The Revelation Space books – Alistair Reynolds
- The Lord of the Isles – David Drake. Gets knocked for being repetitive
- The Kingdoms of Thorn and Bone – Greg Keyes
- The Sword of Truth – Terry Goodkind. I loved the first one when I read it in college. I think it went downhill fast after the first one. Used to be a nice filler between new Robert Jordan orGeorge R R Martin books.
- Some of the Shannara books, but I think they're very hit and miss. Loved the first couple when I was in grade school. Surprisingly liked the Genesis of Shannara series from the last couple years.
- The Vlad Toltos books – Steven Brust
- The Swans War – Sean Russell
- The Banned and the Banished – James Clemens
- The Prince of Nothing – R. Scott Bakker. Way too intellectual for bedtime reading, but still recommended
- The Ender novels
- The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant- The Unbeliever – Stephen Donaldson
NOT on the list, but I loved all these when I was younger:
- The Lord of the Rings. The prose and dialogue is absolutely ridiculous. The world building is amazing, but the exclamations of the characters are just too silly. I, *gasp*, like the movies better now.
- The Dragonlance Chronicles. The original trilogy only. IMHO, every other Dragonlance book that followed was just a little bit worse than the one before
- The Book of Swords by Fred Saberhagen
- Anything that David Eddings wrote. C'mon, you know you liked it when you were 12.
Ok, let the total geekfest begin in the comments:

For Reg Saxton, the decision to volunteer in a war in which he had no personal ambition or relatives at risk was a simple one.
"I felt something must be done to stop the advance of the Hitler empire," says the retired physician from West Sussex, England, who went to Spain to fight dictator Francisco Franco.
The International Brigades of the 1936-39 Spanish Civil War pulled 40,000 people from across the globe to fight fascism. Thousands fell on the battleground and their effort failed.
But last week Mr. Saxton, along with hundreds of others from 29 countries, returned to Spain as heroes to commemorate the Brigades' participation 60 years ago in some of the century's fiercest civil combat.
Six decades and 21 years since the victorious Franco died, about 350 veterans of the Brigades have been granted honorary Spanish citizenship and have come to Spain to help the country - and themselves - put that chapter of history into perspective.
With Adolph Hitler in power in Germany, and Benito Mussolini ruling Italy, many people saw Spain as one more notch in the fascist belt. So they volunteered.
While the German and Italian governments supported Franco, thousands of volunteers from those countries joined the Brigades in the war, which pitted the "Brigadistas International" and the supporters of Spain's republic against Franco's army and wealthy landowners. The Soviet Union also sent volunteers, and the Soviets were responsible for most of the military supplies and nearly all of the volunteer organizing against Franco.
"I'm not a Communist, but I am an antifascist," says Robert Peters, originally of Wales, of his spur for joining the volunteers. His entrance into the war was typical: Sneak into Spain from France, get two weeks of training - "not enough for all we had to go through" - and then into battle. Mr. Peters was shot in the back one day during a battle at Brunete.
The Brigades lost nearly every battle in which they fought, a result of a combination of poor training, inexperienced leadership, and lack of equipment. International treaties kept most nations from selling arms to either side, but Franco was given military superiority by German and Italian armaments, planes, and troops. Despite his own reliance on foreign aid, Franco despised the Brigades, and most soldiers captured got a field execution instead of a trip to a POW camp.
Peters, who has been a merchant marine, described living conditions on the front as "shocking, terrible." Food was scarce and primitive, with a hearty meal consisting of salt-dried fish and chick peas. Clarence Kailin, recruited to the Brigades by Communists in Wisconsin, says that eventually troops were reduced to bread and whatever water they could find. His diet improved only after he was hospitalized from a sniper's bullet. Despite the bad food, disease, and an enemy eager to kill, Mr. Kailin says he never wavered in his commitment to the war.
"That never occurred to me," he says, despite the fact that nearly half of the 3,200 Americans were killed in combat. Many of the American volunteers were Communists, like Kailin, or Communist sympathizers, and all firmly believed Spain was the place to make a stand against fascism and for the people, regardless of the odds.
"We did what we could to help," says New Yorker Irving Gold. There was something important happening, and I wanted to be a part of it."
Mr. Gold was a union organizer. In 1937, in the throes of the Depression, there was a good deal of labor organizing, and Communists found this fertile recruiting grounds. Another New Yorker, Jack Shafran, says he was one of the 11 organizers at a department store who went to Spain.
"Had we prevailed in Spain," World War II probably wouldn't have happened, Mr. Shafran says. He later served in the US Army in World War II, but many of his comrades from Spain were labeled as unsuitable because they were "premature antifascists."
Like many other US members of the Abraham Lincoln Brigade, Shafran says FBI agents routinely called on him after the war to ask whom he had met at Communist cell meetings. He says they arranged to have him fired from several jobs when he wouldn't cooperate, and recalled that the Internal Revenue Service audited his tax returns for 20 years after the war, never finding a mistake.
Brigade members from other nations didn't report widespread government surveillance, and Peters, for instance, says he had no problem joining the British Army during World War II.
Despite the misery and suffering, wartime Spain spawned a few romances. Irene Goldin was a young nurse from Connecticut who belonged to no political party but wanted to help people. One of her patients was Harry Spiegel, an Austrian fighter whom she helped recuperate from severe wounds and then married in Spain. After the Brigades were pulled out of Spain in late 1938, the Spiegels moved to France and fought in the Resistance there before returning to Austria to raise a family.
Juan vaan Eyk's mother was a Spanish nurse and his father a Dutch fighter who married in Spain. On this trip back they were accompanied by three of their children.
"I have more respect for them, now that I see" what they did 50 years go, says their son Juan.
Spain seems to have more respect, too. At the ceremony in Madrid, the vets were showered with flowers as they marched, as powerfully as they could on ancient legs, into a sports stadium that was so crowded it turned away spectators. Milton Wolff, a Californian who was the last commander of the Lincoln Brigade that so entranced writer Earnest Hemingway, said that on a trip to the reunion hotel a cab driver found out who he was and refused to accept any money.
In Madrid, scene of some of the heaviest fighting in the war, the vets toured battle sites and cemeteries where fallen comrades lie. Then they fanned out to Barcelona and Albacete, a base for the Brigades, to meet the public and government officials.
Some Brigade members occasionally sneaked back into Spain for a look at the country where they had fought, and in 1986 had an official reunion. This likely marks the last hurrah for them. Mr. Wolff is more optimistic, however, saying he's already looking forward to the 75th reunion.

Advance Review: The Middleman is another in ABC Family's line of quirky, offbeat and yet somehow (mostly) family friendly genre shows. It stars Natalie Morales as "Wendy," an office temp with an almost supernatural ability to accept the paranormal as…well..normal. It's this ability that brings her to the attention of "The Middleman" – a seemingly self-styled Men-in-Black like superhero played by Matt Keeslar. The show has a great opening sequence that announces everything you need to know: it's a comic book-like world, it's going to be somewhat silly, and it's going to be entertaining.
The effects here aren't going to knock your socks off. In fact, it reminds me a little bit of the BBC's revival of Doctor Who. The effects are mostly good enough to be believable, but not so good that it'll scare the kids out of their wits. That leaves adults somewhere in the middle – the question will be can you accept something a bit silly with effects that choose to stretch beyond the realistic so that the show can achieve a scope beyond its budget? If you can, and you can go along for the ride – then this show is worth your time.
The big reason to watch this is Natalie Morales. It's hard to explain exactly but she's a mix of fast talking charm, attractive without trying, and a mix of geek outsider all rolled into a fairly unique package. If this show is a hit of any size, Morales will likely become something of a cult icon among the geek set. Keeslar does a good job of playing the anachronistic square-jawed here. The show sidesteps most sidekick conventions by casting character actress Mary Pat Gleason as Ida – the alien/android assistant to The Middleman.
The show oversteps with its overt style from time to time. There are silly fantasy sequences, rear projection moments (its hard to explain), and more – but the cast (and writers) seem to be having a ton of fun. There's weird science, mobsters, super intelligent apes, and other hallmarks of pulp science fiction that are clearly part of the Middleman's everyday world. These elements alone create a fine line for the show to ride – and for the most part, they keep their balance. Even when The Middleman says something like "Hot diggity" – Wendy's reaction fits the moment perfectly.
This is sharply written, briskly paced and unlike just about anything else currently on TV. There are moments that it appears the creators pulled back away from the edge because of the ABC Family location – but it doesn't kill what is otherwise a really fun show. Keeslar is fun, but Morales just may be a breakout star. Might as well jump on board now so that you can say you were there at the beginning, before all of the pretenders come along and steal your thunder.

hi! so its my birthday today!! woop! I'm ..gasp..33. But I feel great. Really really great.
ok, so my question of the day today is:
May 2
Q: Are you hesitating?
A: Whoa, little question book. You can't be asking that of an engaged lady planning a wedding. Ok, well. So. Ahem. No, not hesitating. Thinking, deeply, about lots of BIG THINGS, yes. Hesitating to type that I'm not hesitating, so maybe a little bit. But really, feeling quite solid and happy about life in general, really.
Let's take it broader. I do, by nature, and by disease, hesitate. It kind of comes with the territory of panic disorder. I hesitate to do anything that will stretch my comfort zone, and so life is a series of hesitations. I'd love to be rid of it, but managing it and behavorial therapy is what I can do, so..that's what I do.
Where do I not hesitate..
When I know what I'm doing and what I want to get done.
To express love for those that I love.
At the thrift store when I see the perfect thing for that one place in that one room.
To sit back and enjoy life and maybe not vacuum right this second because its sunny out and I have a new book.
Another thing I want to do this year, is not to make grand plans and goals for "before 34" but to make small weekly goals each and every week to make myself better. (Thank you Danielle at Sometimes Sweet for the inspiration).
Week one of my 34th year..
Don't eat any of the processed packaged crap available to you at work.
Run outside 3 times this week.
Listen to the whole Beastie Boys album in one sitting.
Kick ass at that thing you have to do on Tuesday.
So, happy 33rd birthday to me. Thank you mom and dad for life and the life you gave me. I love you so much.

[The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Defence (Mr Ivor Caplin): Let me make it clear that the Government endorse the importance of remembrance and commemoration, and I am well aware of the veterans organisation's views on those matters. … Such courage in the face of the enemy must never be forgotten, regardless of whether it was shown in the mud of the Somme in 1916, on the beaches of Normandy in 1944 or in the sands of Iraq in 2003. We owe those who put their lives at risk in these ways this country's eternal gratitude.]
Dr Julian Lewis: This matter was first raised at business questions on 30 October, not out of any party-political interest, but by the Labour hon. Member for Mansfield (Alan Meale), and by me for the Conservatives. We all feel that the hon. Member for Yeovil (David Laws) has done veterans a service by raising it.
The only reason why I was slightly late for this debate was because a gentleman outside was overcome with emotion at 11 o'clock. He was wearing a chestful of medals, including the France and Germany Star. We should not underestimate what these commemorations mean to the people whom the Minister has so eloquently been describing.
[Mr Caplin: I agree with the hon. Gentleman. I have seen his contribution to business questions and I will shortly write to him and my hon. Friend the Member for Mansfield (Mr. Meale) about the matter.
The Department has already provided assistance for a number of 60th anniversaries of the Second World War. Between now and 2005 there are a succession of anniversaries of significant actions, and the Ministry of Defence cannot organise commemorations for all of them. It was therefore agreed with the services and veterans organisations that we would fund a commemoration of one representative battle for each of the services, with a tri-service commemoration of the 60th anniversary of the end of the Second World War. The actions chosen by the services were the Battle of the Atlantic for the Royal Navy, the Battle of El Alamein for the Army and the Battle of Britain for the Royal Air Force. Those anniversaries were commemorated in 2003, 2002 and 2000, respectively.
It was also agreed that other major anniversaries would be marked where possible by the presence of Ministers or senior officers at events organised by the veterans. This level of assistance and support does not mean that the 60th anniversary will be treated with any less respect than is due to these brave men and women.]

Hooray! I have some new Sciblings!
Drugmonkey and Physioprof are now co-blogging at Scienceblogs. Visit them here and tell them how happy you are they joined Sb. Check out this excellent post Science Pays:
This brings today's discussion around to the topic of diversity in science, careers in science and a much under appreciated goal of "outreach" efforts. That's right people, we scientists are out there to get hold of your impressionable children and sway them into our "lifestyle"!
And Physioprof has a new blog of his own, called, amazingly enough, Physioprof. With the delicious tagline " 'Step in, Sit Down, Chill The Fuck Out' — I said that". To get a quick flavor of this blog, you might read Megan McArdle is a Clueless Fuckwit. But be prepared to be appalled speechless if you do.
How does Physioprof find the time to hold down a job, write for two blogs, make excellent comments on other blogs, have a life, and sleep? Perhaps he is a member of the Borg and draws on the collective's resources to help him in his tasks. Whatever, it's just nice to have him in the neighborhood!
Welcome, welcome, Drugmonkey and Physioprof!
