Time for a WIP update since my finishes are so few and far between:
Houses of Hawk Run Hollow House #6- I managed to work on this for an evening or two and made some progress on the house and fence, although I admit its a little hard to see. I'll be at this one for a while, folks, so you're going to be seeing lots more of it!
JBW Stocking on Celery Gingham Graziano linen. This has been really fun to stitch on. And its also really fun to thread your needle and stitch along your merry way until the end of the thread! I'm not using the suggested GAST or WDW for this one, just good ol' plain DMC, I didn't think I needed to use a variegated floss with the gingham fabric. I'm liking this one so well, I'm even entertaining the thought of doing it in red also! Crazy, I know, but I'm still anxiously awaiting the JCS Ornie issue, which hasn't arrived yet on any newstands that I have found, so I'm seriously Christmas deprived these days.
And I'm nearing the end of my Thanksgiving Turkey! I do love Prairie Schooler designs so much! This is from Book 93 called Harvest Time and I may just get it finished in time for our Thanksgiving which is on October 8, a little too early in the year to be thinking of it when I really want to turn my a/c back on, its 27 degrees C in the house right now and hot-hot-hot! But I'm sure I'll be much more in the mood in a couple of weeks.
Meanwhile all my WIP's are getting tossed aside tonight as I really need to sort something out for the SBEBB Hallowe'en exchange. On Monday nights I have Foster parent training and Tuesday nights a study group, so I can't wait for tonight to roll around so I can put my feet up with some stitching and watch some of the new programs and series premieres!

I don't even know how to begin to thank Sue for her amazing generosity! I won her blog contest a few weeks back (Redwitch's Stitch n Bitch) and she so kindly wanted to send me something as a gift. She asked me for a wish list so I sent her a list of a couple of things that I had my eye on recently and then told me that a package would be arriving shortly from one of the on-line shops! Isn't that incredible! So of course I had to stalk the mail man as patience is definitely not a strong suit of mine, as I couldn't wait to see which goodie she had decided to pick from my list to send to me.
My package arrived today....or rather box, and I eagerly ran home with it, tugging poor little Stu along on his tired little legs (its a hot one out there again - Autumn weather has not yet arrived here) and imagine my great surprise when I found not one of the items on my list but all 4!!!! Wow- I was definitely shell shocked! I'm so touched by the neverending kindness and generosity of stitchers out here world wide and in our little blog-osphere, it never ceases to amaze, surprise and delight me.
Well my words just don't quite cover my feelings. So here are pictures of my wonderful goodies instead:
Thank you Sue!!!!

Fair and Square Exchange
The squares arrived from Carol, my partner in Round 2 of the Fair and Square Exchange. She stitched an older freebie design from the Prairie Schooler, and one of my favourite designers! She said she chose a house design, because we are also in a neighbourhood round robin together. Isn't this a sweet design and the colours are just right for this time of year too, very autumn-y.
Thank you, Carol, I love the squares!

Time for a Christmas Stocking
Thank you for all your good wishes for Nick's headache. He is still complaining of a slight one so its not completely gone, but better. I had him to see my sister who is a massage therapist and while that helped, it didn't take his headache away. So he finally relented and saw the doctor and she gave him some anti inflammatories and that seemed to work some magic finally. Let's keep our fingers crossed that going back to school tomorrow doesn't make it worse!
I finished another RR yesterday, this time my Eastenders' Neighbourhood, that makes 2 RR finishes in 2 weeks. I won't post a picture yet until I pass it off next week at our get-together, but I will mention that there are alpaca in this one! I worked on Marg's and we relentlessly tease her about starting an alpaca farm when she and her hubby retire!
So to reward myself for my RR finishes, I have a new start as of last night (and also because the fabric I ordered finally came in the mail this week too :-) JBW Designs French Country ~ Stocking. I ordered the #28 count Graziano linen in the celery-white gingham combination. I hadn't tried this linen before and I really liked the green over the red. But I'm just using DMC and not the GAST thread.
Carol let me know she received my blocks for the Fair and Square exchange. I had fun stitching this square for her. It was a design from Sweetheart Tree from the June issue of The Gift of Stitching and fit perfectly in the 50x50 square limit. Sign-ups are being taken for Round #3 of the exchange. The link is in my side bar on the right hand side of my blog for more info. Please join us!!

Leslie's Neighbourhood
I finished my house in Leslie's neighbourhood...and a little early too! I hate deadlines, I hate the pressure, so I couldn't wait to get this one done before the October 1st mail-out date. The house came from a Jeremiah Junction special edition magazine and I loved the picture of it. I was merrily stitching away when I suddenly realized that it was starting to not look like the picture at all. It was much more orange than the red that I remembered the picture looking like. I guess it was originally stitched in Anchor floss and I used the DMC conversion so it really drastically changed what I working with. So quite a bit of brick frogging later, I reworked the colours and came up with something that suited me much better. I hope Leslie likes it!
My poor Nick has been suffering with his third day of headaches. I really have no idea what to do for him at this point. We have his new glasses on order and Advil do not seem to be working for him. It doesn't seem to be his allergies and he is cringing at the thought of going to the walk-in clinic, but I'm at a loss as to what to do next. And hubby and I have tickets for the Blue Jay ball game in Toronto tonight. I hate the thought of leaving him and Kris on their own tonight when he's like this. Ah, the joys of motherhood!

What's the Buzz Exchange
I received a huge package in the mail late yesterday afternoon from my exchange partner for the SBEBB What's the Buzz Exchange. It was sent from Jeanne from Willow Tree Stitching and she did an absolutely fantastic job with everything. I opened up the package to first find a mesh project back, perfectly suited for the exchange with a strip of bee skeps fabric on the front, which she had made herself! And inside were endless goodies, including a package of Jelly Belly's, a lovely quilt themed magnetic note pad, a card which she had also made from fabric, and of course the pièce de résistance, a beautiful pinkeep and scissorfob with a lovely pair of Gingher scissors attached.
Jeanne commented that she used nail polish on the pinheads so that it better matched the pinkeep. That much attention to detail is amazing to me!
Jeanne's stitching and finishing is exquisite! I am in awe of all her crafting abilities, sewing, cardmaking, stitching, finishing, cordmaking.....wow! And I feel truly spoiled! Thank you Jeanne, so much for such a wonderful package! Your crafting talents are awesome!!
I received a message from Cathy that she received my exchange that I had sent to her. I stitched a Shepherd's Bush design and made it into a little pillow ornament. I really think I need to polish up my finishing skills....

Labour Day Stitching
We are enjoying a lovely 3 day weekend with Monday being Labour Day here and the weather has been perfect! It was so hard to come back from the cottage, it was just so nice to enjoy what feels like the final few days of summer. I won't be back to the cottage for the next few weekends, so I know the next time I go back, the leaves will have started to change colour.
I was able to get in lots of stitching time and I couldn't resist working on Peaches from Little House Needleworks. I actually started this on our summer vacation and put the last few stitches in today. These are such sweet little designs! The fabric you see with it is part of the finishing kit, along with the ribbon and the linen, that I ordered from Mary Kathryn at Ehandcrafts Online. She provides such a wonderful service putting these kits together for you and it makes it so much easier to finish too. I have a couple other LHN kits in my stash, I'm so tempted to start another one now.
Tomorrow is the start of school for us so always an exciting day, the kids are looking forwards to getting back into their routine and seeing all their friends again, and I'm looking forwards to it too :-D

1. What is absentee voting?
Absentee voting is a voting method that involves voting on a day earlier than the actual election day.
Tennessee has two forms of absentee voting:
2. Who may apply to vote absentee?
To vote as an early voter, a registered voter may vote without giving a reason during the established early voting period. The early voting period typically begins twenty (20) days before an election and ends five (5) days before an election with the exception of the Presidential Preference Primary which ends seven (7) days before election. In those instances in a city election where there is not any opposition on the ballot, there shall be no early voting period.
To vote by mail, a registered voter must fall under one of the following categories:
3. What is the process for requesting the by-mail ballot?
To request a by-mail absentee ballot, mail, fax or email with an attached document which includes a scanned signature the following information directly to your local county election commission office:
A request that contains this information will be processed and a ballot will be mailed to the voter.
4. Is any additional information required for individuals who have registered to vote by mail?
Unless an individual who has registered to vote by mail is on the permanent absentee voting register, that person must appear in person to vote in the
first election after the registration becomes effective. If a by-mail registrant has already voted in person since the registration, then no additional
information will be required to vote by mail.
5. How can a person who possesses a valid commercial driver license (or the spouse of a person possessing a valid commercial driver license) or a transportation worker identification credential and who will be working outside the county of registration during the early voting period and all day on election day vote? If the voter (or spouse) possesses a valid commercial driver license or the voter possesses a valid transportation worker credential card and does not have a specific out-of-county or out-of-state location to which mail may be sent or received during the early voting or election day hours, the voter may:
6. When may a registered voter apply to vote by mail?
A registered voter may request an application for by-mail ballot no earlier than ninety (90) days before the election and no later than seven (7) days
before the election. To be processed for the next election, the application must be received by the election commission no later than seven (7) days
before the election.
7. To be counted, when must the ballot be received by the election commission?
The county election commission must receive the ballot by mail no later than the close of polls on election day. Once the election commission issues an
absentee by-mail ballot to a voter, the voter can only vote by mail.
8. What if I do not receive or ruin my ballot and can no longer use it?
If a voter notifies the election commission that he or she has "spoiled" a ballot or has not received the ballot, the election commission shall
note on the records that subsequent supplies have been sent and supply the voter with subsequent voting supplies.
9. What if I do not provide all of the information required on the by-mail ballot application?
The county election commission will reject the application and return the application to the voter immediately by mail to be completed and returned again.
If time permits, any rejected application must be corrected and returned to the County Election Commission by the seventh (7th) day before the Election.
10. Can the ballot be hand delivered?
No. The by-mail ballot must be received by the county election commission office through the postal mail.

AUGUSTA, Ga. - The Georgia Southwestern men's basketball team trailed by as many as 22 points in the first half at Georgia Regents University Augusta on Saturday afternoon and simply ran out of time in its comeback effort, pulling within eight in the final two minutes at Christenberry Fieldhouse before losing 78-65.
GSW falls to 18-7 overall and 10-6 in the Peach Belt Conference. GRU Augusta has won five of its last six games and improves to 19-4 overall and 12-2 in the PBC. The Jaguars are 12-1 at home this season.
The opening eight minutes of Saturday's contest proved to be an even battle. Johathan Brooks scored on a layup at the 12:20 mark of the first half to pull the Hurricanes within 13-10. From there things went south quickly for the Hurricanes. GSW was outscored 20-4 over the following seven minutes.
A Keshun Sherrill 3-pointer put GRU Augusta ahead 33-14 with 5:16 remaining before the break. The Jaguars would push the margin to 22 points, their largest lead of the afternoon, when Devon Wright-Nelson converted a layup with 1:17 on the clock to make the score 40-18.
GRU Augusta led 40-20 at the half.
The Jaguars maintained the 20-point edge for the first 10 minutes of the final period. GRU Augusta led 61-41 before the Hurricanes went on a 10-3 run to pull within 64-51 with 5:08 remaining.
Alan Arnett sank a pair of free throws with 2:44 on the clock to bring the Hurricanes within eight points, 68-60, but GRU Augusta countered with four unanswered points to build a cushion that proved to be too much for GSW overcome.
Both sides ended the game shooting over 50 percent from the floor. GRU Augusta hit 5 of 12 from long range, but it took GSW 19 tries to make five. GRU Augusta held the rebounding advantage, 32-25.
Brooks and Daryl Davis tied with a game-high 21 points apiece for GSW. Brooks drained 5 of 10 from beyond the arc and pulled down a game-high six rebounds. Davis was 8 of 9 from the floor. Arnett chipped in 16 points. Jamon Hawkins dished six assists.
Ryan Weems finished with 20 points and five rebounds to lead GRU Augusta. KJ Sherrill and Keshun Sherrill added 14 points apiece.
The Hurricanes travel to No. 12 USC Aiken on Wednesday for a 7:30 p.m. contest.

This summer has been our first opportunity to live in an Orthodox country and I wanted to share some of our experiences and observations about Christian life in Tbilisi and Georgia in general. Christianity has deep roots in Georgia that extend all the way back to the original Apostles. Georgia was first evangelized by Andrew and is the final resting place of Matthias (the one who was chosen to replace Judas)—his tomb was once in a church around which a military fortress was built, now only 4 miles from the Turkish border, but the church was razed by the Ottoman when they took the fort and only a cross inside marks St. Matthias' grave. Georgia has been attacked by many powers. The Turks alone have gone to war with the Georgians over 300 times trying to take and occupy the land. In the southeastern part of the country we visited a monastery—Davit Gareja—where the Persian army entered and slaughtered all the monks on one Easter Sunday. We have also visited another monastery—Gelati—in the central region of the country that saw monks fall to the same fate at the hands of Arab armies. Both monasteries contain the monks' relics and are truly beautiful, located on mountain sides or in the desert. The Svetitskhoveli Cathedral in Mksheta, the old capital, is built over a grave that contains the robe Christ wore while carrying the cross to the crucifixion, not the burial cloth, and came to Georgia from a Jewish man named Elioz who returned from Jerusalem to Mksheta. The robe ended up with his sister who was buried with it and the cathedral rests over this space. The church is beautiful and incredibly peaceful, you recognize that you are in a holy place when you enter there. Even with all this history, the contemporary Christian life in the country is not strong.
What is the best way to describe the contemporary Christian life in Georgia? When one remembers that the Soviet occupation lasted from the early 1920s until 1991, there will be a long and difficult recovery period. But the Georgian Orthodox Church seems to be clinging to political power and continues to be very nationalistic. The prevailing mentality wishes to block all other religious expression (there is not a legally recognized constitutional right to change religion) and to propose the Orthodox faith through the dominance of culture thus making it the only possible option. New churches are being constructed and old churches are being restored, but other than at a formal level, the Orthodox Church does not have a cultural presence. In a sense, it is like the situation Giussani described in The Risk of Education where Italy in the 1950s had many people attending Mass, but few saw a place for Christ in their lives. Faith had become a formality and was almost meaningless in individual lives. This is the case here. But the situation is much weaker than in Italy as only 8% of the population is faithful to the Orthodox religion. There is a catechesis crisis as very few their faith and superstitions are abundant. In some ways, the Church teachings seem to conform themselves to the dominant political culture rather than being faithful to the Gospel; maybe I am wrong but this is what our experience suggests.
|Tomb of Apostle Matthias
The Catholic Church has endured suffering with almost all of its parishes being taken by the communist government and given to the Orthodox. The Marxist government only allowed the Church to maintain one parish in Tbilisi and all the others were confiscated. The Catholic cathedral in Tbilisi was appropriated by the state to use for storage. When communism ended, the government allowed the Church to re-gain the cathedral but the other parishes continued to be in the hands of the Orthodox. Even the beautiful gothic cathedral of Batumi remains under Orthodox control. It is strange to visit these appropriated churches because the Orthodox have maintained frescos, some of the statues (probably those that could not be removed!) and confessionals (some turned into small gift shops) that are out-of-place in an Orthodox-style place of worship. The architecture is classically Catholic—Latin cross plan with side naves separated by columns rather than Greek cross which is typical of the Orthodox Church—and the buildings have Latin inscriptions indicating their Catholic name. These are parishes that have been stolen by the Orthodox who now do their best to block the Catholic presence in Georgia.
The Catholic Church is not pursuing the return of its lifted parishes but trying to build new parishes to replace the ones that were stolen. The Church has been successful in building a new beautiful parish in Batumi although it is already too small as the Sunday Mass crowds are too large for its seating capacity. In Kutaisi, the Church is meeting in a house and cannot receive the authorization to build a new parish because the local mayor has received pressure from the Orthodox Church and will not sign the authorization permit. The Church has invested much time in gaining approval for all the necessary components for this construction project, but although everything else has been approved, the project cannot start until the mayor signs the paper. Ironically, the historic Catholic Church in Kutaisi, now in Orthodox hands, is named for the Immaculate Conception and the local hierarchy has built a theological college outside its doors. After taking the only Catholic parish, they are refusing to allow the Catholic Church to replace it.
|Davit Gareja (on the border with
While the Orthodox hierarchy and religious never 'officially' threatened the Catholic faithful with violence, this is not true for the Georgian Orthodox faithful. In 2002, the Catholic bishop led a pilgrimage to a monastery which houses the tomb of St Nina, the saint who brought the Christian faith to Georgia sometime around the fifth century. When the group was approaching a city they were to pass through on their way, they were first stopped by the police who checked everyone's id. Next, the local Orthodox religious showed up and harassed the group. After they left, a group of laypeople armed with baseball bats and other instruments of violence came and physically threatened the pilgrims if they stepped inside the town. The bishop was amongst the faithful and decided to end the pilgrimage. The Georgian Orthodox said that Catholics were not welcome even to pass through their town. The police and Orthodox clergy were complicit in this threat which they unofficially sponsored. The local Catholics were ashamed to be Georgian on this day.
Another instance of Orthodox antagonism to the Catholic Church happened in 2003 when the Nuncio came to Tbilisi to sign a bilateral agreement between the Georgian government and the Holy See that would protect freedom of religion and that had been in the works for a long time. On that day, hundreds of people flooded the streets, including Orthodox priests and a bishop, protesting this signing, saying that they did not want the Catholic Church in Georgia. The Patriarch and the Orthodox hierarchy were behind these protests, which had obviously been planned in advance, but claimed that they had nothing to do with it, that it was the 'natural' reaction of the faithful. The Nuncio and the Vatican were extremely disappointed about this last minute turn-face of the Georgian government. In a later note published on the Osservatore Romano, the Nuncio publicly expressed his disappointment and accused the Orthodox Church of spreading false rumors about the Catholic Church and the proposed agreement with the Georgian government. John Paul II suffered greatly because of this 'betrayal'.
This animosity is still present and we have had only a slight experience of it. Last Saturday, we hired a taxi to bring us to Kakheti, the wine region of the country, where we would visit some cities and Orthodox churches. This was a long day as we were picked up in Tbilisi and drove around the region and returned to our apartment fourteen hours later. The sights were beautiful and when we were at the furthest point from Tbilisi, we passed Telavi to visit the Alaverdi Cathedral, a grand picturesque church surrounded by a stone wall and the Caucasus Mountains in the background. Our taxi driver accompanied us inside as we walked toward the church; at the main door, we were met by the two young men wearing black shirts (maybe seminarians, servers, or church volunteers) who slammed the huge door in our face and said that we were not enter. Ironically, they knew nothing about us other than that we were not Georgian (it would not have mattered even if we were of a different orthodox faith, the thing that mattered was our nationality). After a few moments they walked away, but waited by the entrance in the city wall surrounding the cathedral for us to leave. In any case, this was the only time in Georgia where we were in any way threatened.
|Icon from Orthodox Church in Tblisi
After the Soviet oppression of the Church, the Catholic population is small and has yet to recover its previous numbers. The local clergy and bishop are beautiful people who have a great humility and receive foreigners with great affection. We have spent most of our time attending the small Catholic Cathedral in Tbilisi and have been fortunate to get to know the bishop and local priest. The bishop asks people to call him Fr. Giuseppe rather than 'Your Excellency' or 'Your Grace' and actually has worked on the Cathedral renovation with his bare hands. He has a difficult task in his ecumenical meetings with the Orthodox hierarchy who make life difficult for Catholics. For example, they do not even recognize Catholic baptism and make life hard for those families where one member is Orthodox and the other Catholic. Yes, Bishop Giuseppe has a challenging assignment but he may be the perfect person appointed to this task. I believe that under his leadership the Church has a bright future in Georgia.

The Black Keys "Turn Blue
The dynamic duo teams with producer Danger Mouse as they dissect a broken heart in psychedelic fashion.
Remember when The Black Keys were garage rock's dynamic duo from the rust belt town of Akron, Ohio? It's been twelve years since their debut, and while still a dynamic duo, they've grown beyond their roots. Turn Blue is a treasure trove of sounds that morph in mood and volume. Ear-piercing sonic boom anthems, slinky soul ballads, and pulsating blues percolate throughout. The overall pacing is mid-tempo, an unusual choice following the band's break-through commercial success of its 2011 album El Camino. But then again, The Black Keys have never been your ordinary band, and life circumstances dictate what an artist produces.
Turn Blues documents the emotions following guitarist/singer Dan Auerbach's acrimonious divorce. The music takes it direction from lyrics that are permeated with thoughts on regret, remorse, and broken trust. Setting the stage is the opening track "Weight of Love" which builds from slow grinding rhythms into a searing guitar solo and eruption of percussive waves. "In Time" is a sexy slink of soulful bass and electronic keyboard punctuated by Auerbach's guitar interludes. There is a distinctly pschedelic persuasion to many of the songs, a swirling mixture of dense production and heavy guitar riffs.
The album's first single, "Fever," prominently displays the hand of producer Brian Burton, aka, Danger Mouse. The track could be an escapee from one of Burton's other projects Broken Bells. It's also the most up-tempo song on the album. Burton has produced four of the band's eight albums and for the second consecutive release he receives songwriting credit, making him the de facto third member of the band.
At a time with Auerbach has gained a reputation as a sought after producer -he won a Grammy Award as Producer of the Year in 2012 and has produced for Dr. John, Lana Del Ray, and Ray Lamontagne – he chooses not to produce his own band's album without help. Turn Blue was delayed due to Auerbach's abrupt departure from the studio, but after rest and relaxation he returned to Sunset Sound Studios in California to complete the recording. The production was finished at his Nashville studio.
On a side note, although Carney and Auerbach have left their Akron roots behind they do pay homage to an Ohio legend, horror show host Ghoulardi (think Chilly Billy). One of Ghoulardi's catch phrases was "Turn Blue" hence the album's title.

So why isn't it really so? Why was Harry Reid still able to raise a healthy $1.9 million last quarter?
Let's listen to Jon Ralston on this one.
[E]ven as Reid's hopes are resting on a post-State of the Union recovery by both the national and state economies and of the president's standing, the Republican cannibalism cannot be overlooked. It surely is a delicious sight for Team Reid.
Lt. Gov. Brian Krolicki's decision to reconsider the race has prompted nasty sneering by his GOP opponents behind the scenes and further indicates just how damaging this Republican primary could be. If the GOP had a clean horse to ride until November, Reid probably should be wondering what kind of improvement projects he can do around his Searchlight abode.
But once these Republicans are done with each other — you are witnessing a near-daily to and fro between Sue Lowden and Danny Tarkanian — the national GOP can pour all the millions it wants into the state. But Reid and national Democrats not only will match that, the Republicans in D.C. Central will be selling a product that some in the base may want to recall and independents may not be so willing to buy once June arrives.
Some Republicans try to argue the "primaries are good" shibboleth, which I didn't believe even when I was a cub political reporter. You see, Reid doesn't know which candidate to eviscerate until June, so that is to our advantage — or so the argument goes.
Please. Who would a badly damaged incumbent rather run against — someone bloodied by a primary or someone not wounded? If you don't believe me, GOP Rep. Dean Heller made the same case on "Face to Face" last week, urging his colleagues to play nice. It will not happen.
He's right yet again. The Republicans are a hot mess. Their messaging is off. Their fundraising is dismal. Their "leadership" is in disarray.
No wonder why Dean Heller has refused to jump into the race. And no wonder why even Barbara Vucanovich has warned her fellow Republicans about Mr. Reid.
Now don't get me wrong, I know Democrats have a tough road ahead this year. Health care reform still needs to be done. Economic recovery is just beginning, and we can't afford for this to be another Bush-era "jobless recovery".
However, there is a way forward. Democrats can bring the base back home, and possibly even rebuild the tattered relationship with those fickle minded independents, by being bolder, more progressive, AND more practical. Pass complete, comprehensive health care reform with a public option that actually helps more people afford decent health care. Pass a climate bill that delivers on green-collar jobs. Pass additional economic recovery with the remaining and repaid TARP funds. (Hint: That's a better way to spend these funds than any more stupid and incredibly unpopular Wall Street bailouts.)
It's OK. I'm not expecting any consultant fees. ;-)
But anyway, combine a renewed and revived progressive and Democratic base with regaining the trust of independents and a continually disheveled Republican Party. What do we have? A 2010 election that looks much better for Harry Reid, Dina Titus, and Democrats down the ballot.
Oh, and remember that person we elected President? He may finally be getting his stride back. Joan Walsh explains.
I wasn't optimistic about Obama's plans to attend the House GOP gathering. I thought it might be more of his wrongheaded bipartisanship. I didn't raise a ruckus; it was his Friday to spend the way he wanted to. I just didn't expect much.
But like a lot of people in both parties -- especially the House GOP aides who set it up and let the TV cameras roll -- I was honstly blown away by Obama's performance. Like a lot of Democrats, I was very happy to see him engage and question and answer -- and at times kick some ill-informed and obstreperous GOP ass. I tried not to ask where this fighting man had been for these last months; he was clearly that president we voted for and I thought better late than never. [...]
[...] I [...] didn't expect someone who fulfilled all of our progressive political dreams when we voted for him in 2008. But we did expect him to tangle with -- and defeat -- his antagonists, politically, rhetorically, intellectually, sometimes morally, far more often than he has this year. So today was a relief and a revelation for a lot of us.
I am looking forward to seeing a whole lot more of this president in the coming months. Everyone who wants bipartisanship should be calling for monthly sessions like this. Sadly, but not surprisingly, Republicans aren't. GOP Rep. Mike Pence told Hardball's Chris Matthews, shortly after his draining session with the president, that he's not anxious for a rerun.
As Ralston himself has said, Reid's political fortunes are strongly tied to Obama's. And if President Obama can make a big comeback, Reid can turn around his poll numbers and pull enough of a winning campaign to really win this.
This is why I'm catching my breath right now, It may look scary now, but let's get to work... And let's get Reid and Obama to get back to work on Capitol Hill. :-)

Lab 7: Is Your Region Ready for a Drought?
The lab activity described here was created by Betsy Youngman of Phoenix Country Day School and LuAnn Dahlman of TERC for the EarthLabs project.
Summary and Learning Objectives
In this lab, students apply the concepts of earlier lessons to their own community. They begin by exploring economic, environmental, and social impacts of drought. Students then prepare for and stage a mock community meeting to draw up plans to face an upcoming drought.After completing this investigation, students will be able to:
- List and classify drought impacts from several counties in states across the United States.
- Plan and conduct a mock community meeting.
- Evaluate the drought plan for their home state, county, or community.
Context for Use
Exploring drought impacts will make students aware of the consequences of changes in precipitation. The real-world relevance of impacts that range from wildfires through closings of water parks can get student's attention. The community meeting is an excellent synthesizing activity, allowing students to apply knowledge from the earlier lessons in this role-playing assignment. No special equipment is needed.
Time Required
- Part A: 45 minutes, can be assigned out of class
- Part B: 10 minutes to brainstorm stakeholders,
30-40 minutes to prepare for community meeting,
45 minutes to conduct meeting and discuss plans for following up by contacting local officials.
Activity Overview and Teaching Materials
In Part A, students use an interactive map with links to drought impact reports to explore drought impacts across the U.S. over the past year. They read descriptions and examples of economic, environmental, and social impacts of drought and classify the impacts they read about.
Part B guides students through preparing for and conducting a mock community meeting. Students brainstorm a list of community stakeholders and take on those roles. They prepare themselves to represent the viewpoints of concerned citizens and then hold a town meeting. In the meeting, they attempt to establish consensus on water reduction strategies that they should employ and enforce. Following this activity, students may decide to contact local officials to voice their opinions about drought planning for their region.
Printable Materials
You may want to provide a hard copy of the activity sheet (Acrobat (PDF) 23kB Aug4 08) on which students can record their answers. A
Teaching Notes and Tips
After their interactions with the Drought Impact Reporter site, you may want to encourage students to bring in and share current events related to water availability. The preparation portions of this lab could be assigned as out-of-class research.
Students conduct a mock community meeting in Part B. Encourage them to become fully engaged in the meeting and to discuss their concerns from the point of view of the stakeholder whom they represent. You can find information and tips on using role playing in education from SERC. The preparation for this meeting can be spread over multiple class periods, or even weeks to allow for adequate preparation. The Case Studies in Science project offers an overview and script that can serve as an example of how to start this type of meeting. The case study is focused on impending water shortages in the Klamath river basin in the Pacific Northwest. An extensive set of teaching notes new also accompanies this resource.
One option for assessing student understanding of this content is to ask students to prepare and submit a written position statement before the community meeting. Observation of the students' interactions in the meeting will also provide input for assessment.

- 12FSPSP6.2 Understanding basic concepts and principles of science and technology should precede active debate about the economics, policies, politics, and ethics of various science - and technology - related challenges. However, understanding science alone will not resolve local, national or global challenges.

This is where you can upload your Breton voice auditions. Please keep this thread only for auditions - feedback and other comments relating to voice work can be posted in the old hub thread.
Sample Lines:
Ah...so you're the one who brought Maurrie and Nelos together. Nothing has been seen or heard of them since then, but the bards are singing songs of their love. Well, done! Please, take these as a token of my gratitude.
http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Morrowind:Fasile_Charascel There's an old sea cave nearby, called Ilunibi Caverns, up on the north end of the island, right on Khartag Point. Nothing but rats and slaughterfish. Sometimes smugglers and outlaws use it for a hide-out, but it's wet and nasty, and not real comfortable.
Voice Description
Bretons are based after real-world Bretons, the celts of France. So French, 'Celtic' (Irish, Welsh, etc.), British (not as 'proper' as Altmer or Imperial, but other colloquial dialects), Belgian, even Spanish or Portuguese works well for them.

New York, NY, August 16, 2012 … The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) today expressed concern about Hezbollah re-launching its smartphone applications, which were previously removed by Apple and Google.
ADL was the first to report on the app, which appeared on July 25 and directs users to content from Al-Manar, the Lebanon-based terrorist organization's satellite television station that broadcasts messages of hate and violence. Apple and Google later removed the app.
In a statement issued today blaming ADL for the failure of its previous efforts, Al-Manar said the app has been rereleased for the Android operating system and is "back on Ipad and Iphone applications via alternative ways, following the campaign carried out by the Jewish Anti-Defamation League to deactivate Al-Manar applications on smart phones at Google Play and apple store."
"As terrorist groups adapt to new technologies and figure out ways to circumvent restrictions, it is critical for the industry to take appropriate action to ensure that their services are not exploited by terror organizations," said Abraham H. Foxman, ADL National Director. "We will continue to monitor and expose how Hezbollah and other terrorist organizations use current technology to spread their violent messages and to work with Internet service companies to see to it that terrorists don't succeed in evading industry safeguards designed to prevent the use of these platforms to promote terrorism. Now more than ever, the stakes are too high to be complacent."
Hezbollah is a U.S. designated Foreign Terrorist Organization, and Al-Manar was listed as a "Specially Designated Global Terrorist" by the Department of the Treasury in 2006.
Al-Manar broadcasts the terrorist group's messages of hate and violence, disseminates anti-Semitic and anti-American propaganda and glorifies suicide bombings to millions of viewers 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Al-Manar has a presence on other internet platforms as well, including a Twitter account with over 17,000 followers and 51,000 messages.

I know, not all of you have spring right now. Some live in different climates. Some of you just feel like spring happened a month ago. Regardless, for this week's Shooting Challenge, try to capture the feeling of spring, again.
The Challenge
Take a photo that says "spring" to you. That first fracture of a sprout out of the ground, a flower in mid bloom or just artfully captured puddles.
The Technique
Last time we had a spring challenge, you really, really brought it. I'm anticipating equally wonderful submissions—actually, better ones—as you've had two years to hone your skills since then. Get outside. Look for the little details. Capture something beautiful. Macro isn't a bad idea at all.
The Example
Our lead shot is by our 2010 spring Shooting Challenge winner, Tom Marshick. Here's his description: "Taken with my Canon T1i with a cheap 50MM lens and really cheap extension tube set. F22 to get as much depth as I could ISO400 1/45 of a second laying on my belly. It's spring and the Dandelions are already blooming in my lawn. As I looked through the lens I saw someone looking right back. I think he was telling me to stop bothering him doing his spring cleaning, and it was time for me to start doing mine."
His work is easily one of my favorite photos ever submitted. And before you ask, here's the wallpaper.
The Rules
1. Submissions need to be your own.
2. Photos must be taken since this contest was announced (read more on that above).
3. Explain, briefly, the equipment, settings, technique and story behind shot.
4. Email submissions to firstname.lastname@example.com, not me.
5. Include 970px wide image (200KB or less) AND a 2560x1600 sized in email. I know that your photo may not fall into those exact high rez dimensions, so whatever native resolution you're using is fine.
6. One submission per person.
7. Use the proper SUBJECT line in your email (more info on that below)
8. You agree to the Standard Contest Rules - though we DO accept non-US resident submissions.
9. If the image contains any material or elements that are not owned by you and/or which are subject to the rights of third parties, and/or if any persons appear in the image, you are responsible for obtaining, prior to submission of the photograph, any and all releases and consents necessary to permit the exhibition and use of the image in the manner set forth in these rules without additional compensation. If any person appearing in any image is under the age of majority in their state/province/territory of residence the signature of a parent or legal guardian is required on each release.
Send your best photo by Monday, April 2nd at 10AM Eastern to firstname.lastname@example.com with "Spring" in the subject line. Save your files as JPGs, and use a FirstnameLastnameSpring.jpg (970px wide) and FirstnameLastnameSpringWallpaper.jpg (2560px wide) naming conventions. Include your shooting summary (camera, lens, ISO, etc) in the body of the email along with a story of the shot in a few sentences. And don't skip this story part because it's often the most enjoyable part for us all beyond the shot itself!
Mark Wilson is the founder of Philanthroper, a daily deal site for nonprofits.

An apology
Unfortunately, the sprites I used (in a9sprite and tools) were designed by Detlef Thielsch. He pointed this out to me in a friendly e-mail last week, and has kindly said that I can continue to use the sprites for private use.
So, my apologies to Detlef for using his sprites without permission. (While I'm at it, I also apologise to Chris, for not using his.)
Thanks to both of them for providing the chance to make ROLF look half way decent and not like a bad copy of Arthur, which is how it would have looked with my attempts at icon drawing.

It's been the new millennium for over a decade now and not only do we not have personal jetpacks, but there's also a distinct lack of robo-maids and robo-butlers. You might not be able buy a robotic house-slave tommorrow, but Toyota's newly announced Human Support Robot is a step in that direction.
The Human Support Robot is specifically designed for the purpose of aiding the disabled, but its "grab this, open that, put this away" functionality could easily be extended to the merely lazy. 2.7 feet tall, with a telescoping body that lets it grow to 4.3, the HSR has one 2.5 foot arm complete with grasping claw, and takes orders from its master via garden-variety tablet. It can also sport a tablet on its head, letting it double as a telepresence robot.
When it comes to traversal, the HSR is designed for indoor use and can scoot around at a top speed of 1.8 miles per hour, tackling any slight elevation shifts (hardwood to carpet, for instance) that stand in its way. Toyota has yet to release any information about the new robot's price or battery capacity, but considering its modest form-factor, and a handy Japanese law which places 90 percent of the cost of a robotic assistance unit on public healthcare, the HSR could really take off, at least in its home country.
It might still be a while before you can order your own personal robo-Jeeves to make you dinner, but a robotically assisted future seems likely. Floating treadmills and personal jetpacks can't be too far behind, right? [Toyota via Gizmag]

Matt Russell, Tom Heckert rebound for Broncos
Have you noticed?
Tom Heckert and Matt Russell have been beat up pretty good in the public eye this year following their DUI arrests in the summer. But the Broncos ability to replace so many injured stars this season says John Elway's top two football assistants have been pretty good at their jobs.
Russell, the Broncos' director of player personnel, and Heckert, director of pro personnel, have added since the start of training camp middle linebacker Paris Lenon, safety Michael Huff, defensive end Jeremy Mincey, defensive tackle Sione Fua, linebacker Brandon Marshall and offensive tackle Winston Justice.

Get Help through eBay's Emergency Contact Board
The eBay Emergency contact board is no Rescue 911, but if your computer crashes and you lose all your info, this board is the place to put out an all-points bulletin for help.
If your ISP goes on vacation, your phone line is on the fritz, or you're abducted by aliens and can't connect to your buyers or sellers, use a friend's computer to post a message on the emergency contact board. A dedicated group of eBay users frequent this board, and they will try to help you by passing on your e-mails to the intended parties. Talk about a bunch of givers!
For example, a bidder once posted to say that her computer had crashed and that she was in the process of moving. She asked her sellers to be patient and she would get to them as soon as possible. The friendly regulars of the emergency contact board looked up her bidding history and e-mailed the sellers whose auctions she'd won in the last week. Then they forwarded her the e-mails they'd sent on her behalf. The sellers understood the situation and did not leave negative feedback for the lack of communication.
If you think you may be the victim of a rip-off, check the emergency contact board. The buyer or seller may have left word about an e-mail problem. On the flip side, you may find out that you're not alone in trying to track down an eBay delinquent who seems to have skipped town. Posting information about a potentially bad eBay guy is (at the least) bad manners on most boards. If you wrap it in the guise of an emergency contact, however, you can clue in other members about a potential problem. Stick to the facts and make the post as honest and useful (and non-inflammatory) as you can.
To access the emergency contact board, follow these steps:
From the eBay navigation bar, click the Community link.
In the Connect area, click the Chat Rooms link.
Scroll down the Chat page and click Emergency Contact.
You see a board full of messages from all the desperate sellers and buyers trying to locate each other.

A robber snatched a pet parrot out a woman's hands inside her Bronx apartment building Monday, then fled and sold the bird, which is now being sought by police.
The 67-year-old owner was followed into her Tremont building by the suspect at about 3 p.m. Monday afternoon as she carried Cuca, according to police. The robber rode the elevator with the victim, and got out with her on her floor.
Once in the hallway, the suspect, believed to be armed with a gun, took the parrot from the owner and ran out the building, police said. The woman called 911, and authorities were able to track the suspect's exit from the building with a camera system and later identify him.
U.S. & World
The day's top national and international news.
When police interviewed the suspect Tuesday, he confessed to robbing the woman of her parrot and said he sold it.
Darryyl Walker, 53, on parole for robbery, was charged with robbery, grand larceny, menacing and criminal possession of a weapon, police said. Attorney information wasn't immediately available.
Police are now searching for Cuca; below is a picture of a bird similar to the stolen parrot. Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 800-577-TIPS.

SAN DIEGO (AP) — Californians reduced the amount of trash sent to landfills to a record low last year.
State recycling officials tell U-T San Diego that state residents and businesses together discarded an average of 4.3 pounds of garbage per day.
That's down from 4.4 pounds in 2011.
By comparison, CalRecycle Spokesman Mark Oldfield says the state used to dump 8 pounds a day in 1989, the year the state's Integrated Waste Management Act went into effect.
In part, curbside recycling programs and less consumption are being credited with the decline.
But the collapse of the housing bubble in 2007 also meant less construction and less waste produced as a result.
Officials say organic waste, like food scraps and lawn trimmings, make up most of the state's waste.

There has been a lot going on in my creative space this week now that I am feeling better healthwise and my trusty sewing machine, Bernadette/Bernie, is back with me from the sewing machine service centre. But I thought I would share my family tree bracelet and a quick "how to" for putting one together for yourself. I should add that this bracelet was inspired by this post over at Twirling Betty, and by my desire to have a personalised bracelet which included my family's initials, especially my dad's, because I'm still coming to terms with losing him far too soon.
My bracelet is made up of six ceramic bisque connectors which I painted and embellished myself. I have a small wrist and only included my parents, my children and hubs and myself, so the six ovals were enough to make a bracelet for me (along with some long oval jump rings). Those with larger wrists or more family members will either need to include more ovals or add beads between each oval.
I found painting these small oval very fiddly and would definitely recommend stringing up each piece on some sort of wire to help with painting, if you want to paint both sides like I did (I ended up dangling my ovals on pins attached to a solid cardboard box). I used acrylic paints from my local craft store, though I'm sure any acrylic paint you own would do the job. After allowing the paint to dry, I used a silver roller gel pen to write each person's full initials per oval. If you're from a family of multiple initials, like I am (my dad has five initials and most of the rest of us have four), you'll have to squish your writing up a bit to fit in all the initials. Alternatively, you could just write or stamp each person's first initial per oval.
Each oval was finished off with a clear gloss coating to protect the writing and paint. I should have used a low odour spray varnish for my final coat, but it was a windy day when I made this bracelet and I opted to use clear nailpolish as my "varnish". I know, it was a foolish thing to do, and I had to open a lot of windows to get rid of the fumes. I should apologise for the smudged look of the initials of my bracelet. In real life, the initials are silver and crisp, but I blurred them in the photos to protect the identities of my family members (because we superheroes do that, LOL).
Thanks for sticking with me on this long and indulgent post. Would you make a "family tree" bracelet for yourself or another family member? And if you would, who's names or initials would you include?

|Hawkins, Courtney
|Carroll HS (TX)
|Comments: The Texas high school product was shooting up draft boards as the 2012 spring season began, thanks to a very successful summer. While he pitches and will touch 90 mph, his future is in the outfield. He has some swing-and-miss to his game, but he does have power. He has shown the ability to hit any fastball and can show pop to all fields, though he needs to improve his approach at the plate, where his over-aggressiveness leads to those misses. An average to a tick-above-average runner, he'll play center field for his high school team, but with his size, strength, power profile and at-least-average arm, the University of Texas commit profiles best as a corner outfielder in the future.
Enhanced Scouting Report Video
For the first time since 2001, the White Sox selected a high-school player with their top pick in the First-Year Player Draft.
Courtney Hawkins, an outfielder with big power from Carroll High School in Texas and also a top-notch pitcher, was the White Sox choice at No. 13 on Monday night. Chris Sale was the last 13th pick for the White Sox back in 2010, but Hawkins will take a little longer to reach the Majors than the two months it took Sale.
Hawkins stands at 6-foot-4, 220 pounds and is from Corpus Christi, having already made a collegiate commitment to the University of Texas. After getting the word of his selection and before doing an interview with MLB Network's Sam Ryan, Hawkins did a celebratory back flip while wearing a White Sox jersey.
Hawkins stands 6-foot-3 and 210 pounds. He's a freak athlete who fits the power-hitting right field profile to a T. He shows excellent power potential and a strong arm, as he's also been up to 95 mph off the mound. Hawkins is playing in the Texas high school semi-finals this week.
ESPN Scouts Inc. describes Hawkins as "one of the most explosive hitters in this year's draft, combining brute strength with excellent bat speed for very hard contact (when he makes it). … If he hits, he's a potential All-Star who'll hit for average and power with value on defense. There's just more performance risk here because he doesn't fully repeat his swing and lacks experience against better-quality pitching."
13. Chicago White Sox – Courtney Hawkins OF/RHP Carroll HS, Corpus Christi, Texas – Hawkins is committed to Texas, but with some of the best game ready power in the high school class this year he may go high enough to sway his commitment. He has a solid 6'3″, 215 lbs frame and is an above average runner with a plus arm for RF.Our Instinct – Hawkins bat is ready for the move to the pro stage. He's not a power only hitter, willing to take a walk and work the count. With instruction he'll be able to further employ his game power in better hitters counts. He makes consistent hard contact and uses the whole field with plus plus power to the pull side. He has the arm to stick in the more premium RF corner. But CF won't be a play for him in pro ball.The Pick – Draft Helium and Hawkins deserved it. He projects to have plus power and this is a big strong kid. Inside the bulky frame is a lot of athleticism. Very much a South side type of player. He should fit in well with the White Sox.
At the plate is where Hawkins can really show his potential. He is raw in his approach and will likely have his share of strike outs because he gets out front on off speed pitches and generally attacks each pitch. The positive from that is the power he produces. He isn't just a batting practice hitter. He can hit against game pitching and has usable power that no other high school hitter and few college hitters from this class can match.His speed is impressive, his power is well above average and he could give CF a run in pro ball. He could be a 20-20 guy, or a 30-10 guy in pro ball. If he decides not to sign, he is committed to Texas and could help turn that program around with CJ Hinojosa, but he should go in the top half of the 1st round and sign there.

And here are some Youtube videos of Hawkins:

The accuracy of air bearings is almost entirely determined by the accuracy of the guide. To improve the accuracy, the guide will need to have high stiffness, very good flatness and the right surface roughness.
For best results use the following tolerances:
Surface Roughness 16 micro-inch (0.4 micron) RMS or better
Grade A for high precision
Grade AA for ultra precision
OAV manufactures guide surfaces. With state of the art measuring and testing quipment OAV can assure that tolerances are met and that the air bearings get the desired performance on the guide.
