Dear Major League Baseball Player,
You don't know me, but, as with all people on tv, we know you. We watch you very often. In your profession, we watch you almost daily for about three hours at a time. Forgive me, please, my audacity in addressing you, as I have never seen a baseball game of any kind live and in person. I have only ever viewed your games on television or heard them on the radio.
Thankfully, the camera is not on you constantly but roams your team. So, we miss most of the nose picking, chew spitting, butt scratching and cup adjusting. Some of what you are doing while you are standing and waiting for the action of the game that you love and we love to watch gets to be nauseating. Did you know?
I understand that the uniforms are somewhat lacking. They are made of a fabric that is uncomfortable for the constant wear you have to put into them in order to last an entire baseball season, which I'm sure includes a lot of polyester for durability. I recognise, also, that a moron designed the cut. Seriously. I see that the shoulder seam is in the wrong place for shoulder movement and the sleeve length is doesn't allow for ease in throwing. For that you have my sincerest pity.
What I have a difficult time understanding is why you don't choose a uniform in your size. I know 'baggy' is in off the field, but when your shirt is so big, it actually impedes your movement I have to question your vanity. When your pants are hanging so low you can't make that sudden stretch to tag the runner, I wonder that your mamma hasn't been telling you to pull your pants up. When your hat is off center, I can see the little boy in the streets playing stick ball, but where is your respect for your profession?
I wonder at these things when I see it because I know you are a great player on my favorite team, so, I know you must be pretty good and I just think you would be so much better, dare I say LEGENDARY if you just could focus on your sportsmanship and skills and not on the fight you are having with your clothes.
Of course, you could always go without. THAT would make for some great baseball viewing.
Just a fan viewing from home on the sofa, with knitting in hand and dogs on each side and my husband in his recliner to me, snoring, with chocolate on his breath.

"My city of Herat"
I can't believe it! I can't believe my ears! I am so excited, and there are no words to express my happiness. One of the greatest dreams of my life has come true. The sweet language of Pashto has returned to Herat. Now I can proudly say to everyone that Herat City is the birthplace of Ahmad Shah Baba(Ahamd shah Durrani/abdali) and the burial place of Kakar and that more than fifty percent of the population of Herat City is Pashtun.
I want to tell all my friends who would laugh if someone mentioned anything about Pashto being spoken in Herat province that they were right, it was indeed an unheard of occurrence but not anymore. Even I used to say that we Herati Pashtuns are unfortunate people. Unfortunate because we lost our ancestral language of Pashto. In the whole city of Herat there was not even a single Pashto newspaper or magazine to be found anywhere. Herat, called the city of literature, the city of knowledge, and the city of culture completely turned it's back to Pashto language and literature .
Herat City is the capital of Herat province in Afghanistan, and even though Pashto is an official language of Afghanistan, there was not even a single Pashto article in our government magazine and never more than a short news program on our government TV channel. There were many other television channels and many other magazines, but even though the majority of the people of Herat are Pashtuns, none of those were in Pashto either. Any sort of Pashto learning center existed only in our imagination. Pashto seemed almost to be a forbidden language in my city, the so called City of Knowledge.
I will never forget what happened one afternoon when I was at a memorial conference for a Dari poet. At one point in the program, a young Pashtun man came onto the stage and recited a lovely poem in Pashto, praising the life of the respected Dari poet. An Irani diplomat, who was present in the conference shamefully and loudly said; "This is a conference for a Farsi poet and this is Herat so why is he talking in Pashto!"
Today with great happiness and joy, I want to tell everyone that most of Herat's Pashtuns now speak the sweet language of Pashto. Every weekend, all over Herat province, we have Pashto poetry gatherings and every month we have a large and productive gathering to discuss Pashto and Pashtunwali. Once every year the city of Herat hosts an International Pashto Conference. Now we have Pashto TV channels, Pashto magazines, and Pashto medium schools all over Herat, and more than fifty percent of government TV programs and government magazines are in my beloved language of Pashto.
All this is a reality. I am not dreaming. I am not dreaming. Just as I say this sentence to myself a third time ….., I wake up. Alone in my room, my happiness suddenly turns to great sorrow. It was all a dream. All of beloved Pashto's miseries still exist in Herat. Pashto is still not welcome in my city and most of it's Pashtun residents still do not know how to speak their own language.There is no Pashto TV, no Pashto poetry gatherings, no Pashto language conferences, not even a regional one and schools in Pashto medium do not exist.
Recently some Pashtuns in Herat have started a Pashto language magazine called Harrirod named for a river that flows through the province. It the first and so far the only Pashto language publication in Herat. I know I am not alone in these dreams that Pashto language media and learning resources will be available to all Pashtuns everywhere, and I have faith that someday, InshaAllah, this dream of ours will become a reality.

Dear brother!
You are true when saying you are not alone in the dream. Proper lobbying has been done for promotion of Pashto not to talk of the so called Persian dominated Herat, even not in the Pashtun areas. We still have a long way ahead to enable Pashto to attract the attention of not only its own speakers but aliens too as an important and rich source of information, literature, thought and so on. Everybody would try to learn Pashto if it could earn them some cash. Even the government in Kabul has not been pressurised enough to give an equal share to Pashto along with Dari in the official documentations. Yeah, we have a long way ahead to get nearer to the dreams becoming true.

Herat is my city also, i am from herat i was there one year ago, it was really wonderful, mashallah there are allot of Pashtuns, and on Shamshad TV, the other day, i saw an seminar/conference on Pashto poems and poets, which was organized by Pashtun community.
So inshallah our beautifull herat will be a big center of Pashto, once again. inshallah…
i am really really happy to hear that Pashto is being spoken in Herat, and that there are people who have feelings and work for our sweet language Pashto. and may Allaah give us the strenght to serve our beloved language Pashto the best we can. Inshallaah
Thank you, all for the nice words on Pashtu the mother tongue of brave Afghans, I live in Herat for more then 15 years but my kids speak Pashtu and also fluent dari…. No problems at all. Its all about family responsibility to properly guide their children to grow with decipline and respect to their homeland and language. I'd comment that we Pashtun in particular Pakistan speak a mix Pashtu with Urdo and English that effects our language and children………….. Therefore its oud fault……….. by learning some english does not change our personality
Regards to All from Herat with nice people
Dear Brother,
i am not from that region but i have to mentioned that i have gone there twice and i have roamed arround and the only one things which could make me cry was to see a pukhtun who is unable to talk in Pukhtu, and i thought they are all Tajik , but later on when i went for some feild visits i found out thatmost of them are Pukhtuns, that cried me again, but we do not have to be disappointed ,lets start some thing new , lets set togather with those who are interested and real pukhtuns to work on it, lets brign a movment writing essays and topics will only rise the people emotions but will not take a real step for serving Pukhtuns there, i would request you any one can take the lead of this and will closely contact some pukhtuns who claim that they have served pukhtu , let make thing happens not only on a peace of papper

Dear Brothers, First of all I offer my regards and hope that u guys are in good health. I would like to shed some light on this issue, to be honest it is the weakness of our own Pashtun who have been living (e.g. Kabul) and they speak Dari every where, I don't know what is wrong with them or may be they feel shame to speak Pashto. Nevertheless, Majority of the Pashtun turned their language into Dari, because they are living in Kabul so nobody has been forced to speak Dari, so why they are using Dari then. I m sorry guys I don't any kind of conflict with Dari. Have you guys seen any Dari speaker talking Pashto on TV? of course no. But, I don't blame those Pashtun children who are speaking Dari. their parents are responsible for their language, it is the weakness of our elders. Thanks guys I don't want to create discrimination here.
Yaw Jahan manana.
Yours brother
Dear Sahil
Thanks, I really support your concern the same problem is here in Herat and Farah provine they all speak dari even at home. Therefore its our fault all those who are claiming to promote Pashtu are not true in their heart. the solution is that our young generation should step forward and make this possible.
My regards to all Afghans
Arif Sahar Paktia but live in Herat
Dear Sahil brother i agree with you . lets not feel sham speak pashto with other languges speakers. love you my Dear Pashtoon
سلامونه ورونو!
ده زمونږ ډیره بدقسمتی ده چی مونږ پښتانهَ یو او زمونږ په کورونو کښی دري یا کوم بله ژبه ویل کیږی. زه پښتون یم، ځما ټوله کورنۍ پښتانهَ، خو نیم کورنۍ دری خبری کوي او نیمه اردو یا انګلیسي غږیږی.او ساحل وروره ته رښتیا واییَ ده زمونږ مشران کمزور سوي دی.
پښتو هم چه ډيره موده له ښارونو وتلى وه دغرو په سرو او كلو كښ يى دلويو خلكو له نظره لرى ځاى نيولى و، ارومرو به يى هغه خپله پخوانۍ پنګه له لاسه وتلى وى او لږ څه به ورته پاتى وى، داهم دپښتو ډير قوت او لوى طاقت دى چه په غرو او رغو كښ يى لا تراوسه پورى لكه دڅېړۍ ونه بى باغوانه خپل ځان ټينګ كړى او په خزان كښ يى هم خپلى پاڼى شنى ساتلى دى
درانی صیب مننه ، د هرات د پښتنو په اړه په زړه پورې لیکنه ده او رېښتیا سړي ته هیلمندي پیدا کوي
Yesterday i was sitting in my office in Kandahar, a person came to my office from Herat and started talking Dari i said i don't know Dari u please speak my language. and i was surprised that when he started speaking pashto. i saw that he was pashtoon and knew pashto but spoke with his pashtoon brother Dari. I asked him who you are he said that my mother is Barakzai and my father is Popalzai. I said that who are you then he said that I am Tajik because my language is Dari. I was shocked and my heart started jerking when i listen that a son of Pashoon is now introducing himself as a Tajik. So remember language is very important and if language changes ethnicity changes automatically. We have more then 50 million Pashtoons in India but they have now turned into Urdu speaking and now they don't call themselves Pashtoon because they have forgot their source of ethnic base that is Pashto Language. So please please please don't hate language of others but don't forget your own language and let your children learn it. If the situation goes as it is right now believe me after 50 year there will be no Pashtoon remaining on the map of world. we will be either Indians or persian, now decision is up to you. Mr. Eimal jan we are with you.

Dear Pashtun Brothers,
To Be Honest, if Afghanistan has more than 50% of Pashtunes, but more than 25% from 50% of pashtunes don't like to speak in pashto. why be cause they don't like it or maybe its difficult for them to learn. I am original from Herat City, Living in Kabul City, we have lots of relatives from Herat, they are from Kakar, Ahmadzai and Barekzai but non of them are speaking in pashto, as I told you the reason.
I can speake in pashto but not very well, I know some one from Kandahar from Kakar Family, Living in Kabul, he is original pashtun from Kandahar, he always supporting Dari Language, and says that don't "Dagha Pagha" Sorrrrry.
He is working in a NGO, he told all us his colleagues that whenever we are calling our realtives to outside the country and talking in Pashto it costs us much, but whenever we are talking in Dari, it costs us cheap.
So maybe these are the reason why people leave speaking in pashto. and select the Sweet Language of >> DARI <<.
God Bless Afghanistan
Peace for All Afghanistans Peoples and their Unity.
Peace for Language of Afghanistan

Thank you durani sahib its really apprciable
salaam dear friends,
i hope everyone is doing well here. im an afghan my tribe name is kakar and im from sweet Herat, and currently living here i dont speak pashto, but still it doesn't mean im not an afghan anymore i respect pashto as much i respect Dari.i consider myself always an afghan. and a human a good human being. it doesn't matter if dari or pashto is spoken in Herat what's the problem with that? still we are afghans. dari and pashto both taken from Farsi. right guys? so it doesn't matter. i hate Iranians. we had our own language which was neither dari or pashto, and when the persian Empire captured balkh of Aryana. they destroyed our whole culture. everything. it's a fact we had a language in the period of King Yama these basterds destroyed our culture and left no proves behind, nobody has been able to find a single prove. and then they brought farsi a source of communication. let me not skip the agenda. my sweet bro emal jan. u have very good thoughts and i appreicate it. i think guys this is not the time to work on these issues, it's the time to build this country first and then work on these language problems. language is a source understanding and being understood. it doesn't matter alot. the big goal of ours should be to get united have that blood flow in ourselves. and build every part of my sick country. i didn't mean to offend anything, just shareing my points of view.
I really enjoyed reading your article. Really beautiful record! They go very deep and leave you thinking for hours afterwards.
Waaaaaaaw!!! Eimal jan!
It was a great topic and very very interesting!!
It is actually a reaility that may many young generation have the same as ur deram like me, I am a pashtune, but coz i grow up in Herat Unfortunetly i dont know how to speak in pashtu.Well, i wish our dream dont remain a dream…
Fantastic brother! i always would say Herat used to be the city of pashtoons, but what i see now is different from what being thought about Herat…. or used to be… Everyone i see from Herat speaks Iranian Farsi which really gives me some bad feelings about our country and our culture. anyways i am very delighted to see this.
Durranai saheb salamona aw neeki heeli,

I urge all friends not to forget the role of "Afghan Millat Gwand" who have been very active lobbying for the return of Pashto to the birth place of Ahmed Khan Baba (Herat).
90% of all the districts in Herat are Pashtun mainly Noorzai,Barakzai,Alizai,Alkozai and Asakzai tribes.
The city of Herat however has a mix population of Pashtun Safis,Tokhis, all the ZAIs,Kakars,Sulemankhel etc along with Hazara and Tajik immigrants.
Dear Noorzai Sahib
Thanks, for the nice comments, to be honest Afghan Millat Gwand has done nothing to improve Pashtu rather then for their political interest. over the last few years its the political parties that brought differences between the people rather then bringing stabilty and unity. The same goes to all political parties Jamiate-e-Hezb- Ethehad and so many others
The young generation are required to step forward and build this warn torn nation…………
I hope it won't heart you
Arif Sahar Paktia………. live in Herat
Dear Durani Saheb,
Unfortunately, it is sad to hear that Pashto is not commonly spoken in the western Herat Province. I believe the best means to promote Pashto in Herat is to formulate some media programmes in Pashto language or even set up some radio channels and publications to promote Pashto. Unluckily, the present minister of information and culture is not on good terms with Pashto speakers and this is considered a serious obstacle impeding the promotion of our language. But, we need to make efforts to encourage the youth to roll up their sleeves to work for this language through all possible means. By the way, this piece of work is encouraging.

hi i am from herat and i would to discuss this. first of all both farsi (dari) and pashto are afghanistan's languages, and they are both the main ethnic groups. Yes, I have pashtun and tajik lineage, and so do most of the people of herat. The farsi language did not come from "immigrants" to herat, it is the native language, i would suggest you look through the history of herat. Also pashtu language and culture are very mixed with the farsi culture in herat, and we are not like iranis, we are proud of who we are and of both languages. Yes, most of heratis speak farsi, there are tokhis and such in herat whose great grandfathers were pashtuns but are very mixed with farsiwans which is why we are proud of both. Anyways, herat is a very cultural and educated place in afghanistan, and it always will be. Please don't hate one type of afghans because in herat we have respect for every one of afghanistan's ethnic groups and we all live together as neighboors, i have both pashtuns and tajiks and mixed in my family and no one discriminates, and before all these wars, the schools in herat teached in farsi and pashtu, for everyone. The rest of Afghanistan can learn from us because we want to have educatation for every one of afghanistan's children, in farsi and pashtu, for girls, boys, and every ethnicity to improve our country to how it was. By the way all the best of farsi and pashtu literature comes from Afghanistan's history, not Iran or Pakistan, because it is our culture to be the best. One last thing I'd like to mention is farsi and pashto are the same kind of language, from the same group of languages, like brothers. They came from the same source in historic times.

Some time i m thinking that why pashtons are this much going back day by day and people of other languages getting take over on Pashtoons , the fault is done by us pashtoon, if we are 10 people in meeting 9 of them are Pashto speaker and one is another language speaker so why all 9 speak another language insteat of pashto, can any one please answer me , Please love your language and always stand on your language as other languages speaker stood on thiere language in Afghansitan, never change your Language my Pashtoon brothers and sisters as you never changed your religion not only in Herat but in whole world in Afghansitan and in Paksitan too. trust me our next genaration will blame us. this is our responsibility to keep pashtoo alive for ever .as we keep our Islam form 1400 years . Love you all Pashtoons in all over the world .
Dear Eiamal Jan,
Your precious and heart touching feelings, the love you have for pashto and pashtons, and also the work you are doing for pashto language improvement is highly appreciated.
As we have such as you active Afghans, The dreams you always have had will become true for sure.
I wish you many more success in both your career and life.
Long Life Afghanistan,
Khalilullah Mayar
I am also concerned about Pashtuns of Kunduz, Balkh and Baghalan who are under pressure to become Persianized.
Moreover, the Pashtuns of Farah are laso in process of forgetting Pashto.
In my opinion, all Pashtuns should stop speaking farsee and simply say"Moong Fasee na phaigoo"
Only then Pashto would be revived again in Afghanistan.
Salamooooooooona dy Afghanistan & pakhtoonistan pakhtano.

I Proude of you brother to wrote about Pakhtun Historic in Herat Province south west of Great Afghanistan
i like it very inteersting for me
thanks for sharing
Brother Anwar Zazay
I love this article but sadly I fall into the category of farsi speaking pashtana…I was born in kabul but family goes way back to kandahar..lig pashto mi izda de. But I would like to learn so my kids don't grow up like me not knowing their language…can anyone help me learn?
How sad must be your culture and pashtuns, that you claim Herat as pashtun. I am from Herat, from "Baqche Metar". I am tajik. My family are tajik and all my herati friends are tajiks. Of course, I have met some pashtun heratis, but they were all unable to speak one word of pashto… like most of pashtuns inmigrants livigin in tajik cities such as Herat, Ghazni, Kabul or Mazar.
Your homeland is Pakistan, dear pashtun friends. Stop claiming tajik heritage. 😉
Dear! your comment approved.
I am so sorry about your words and information.
I love all my Afghans.
I love you too. I wish, you could look at the dream from another angle than that from which you looked at it.
Isn't our right to speak Pashto/mother tongue?
Isn't our right to study in Pashto/mother tongue?
Please get your history right. Afghanistan has been a multicultural city since the ancient ages (5000 years ago). Pashtuns and Tajiks are both brother through DNA. Their language is similar. They've both originated from Afghanistan. NONE of us are immigrants in Afghanistan. I'm so tired of hearing pashtuns calling tajiks immigrants and vice-versa. The reason for why Afghanistan is in such a state is because people are racist, and aren't accepting of one another. '
Pashtuns and Tajiks are brothers, as are Uzbeks and Hazaras. My mother is half-tajiki half-pashtun. My grandfather is from Herat. My father is mixed as well. They both know how to speak fluently in both languages. I've been given the gift of knowing how to speak both languages. I can enjoy literature and poetry in both languages. It's a gift to know more than one language. I'm so thankful that I do.
Once we stop hating each other, then we can move on. By the end of the day, we're all human. Stop hating.
The Iranian diplomat did really say that or it was a part of your dream also ?
ډير سلامونه او نيکي هيلي. وروره ستا ليک مي ډير خوښ شو.ده پښتو په اساني سره ده ليکلو لپاره په لاندي لنک باندي ټک(کليک) وکړي. مننه
Very important
Salamoon dear Afghanano Pukhtano wrono. To make it easier to type Pashto on English keyboard, i have setup a file which will change the layout and rearrange the keys of Pashto keyboard in windows in just one click. Forexample, m=meem, n=noon, k=kaaf, . It has all the Pashto alphabets in an easy way so novice users who want to write Pashto can easily write and don't have to learn a new layout if they are used to English keyboard layout.
Herat pashtun? Hhahaha, now I understand the name of this channel, "pashto dream land".
Keep dreaming, wrora. Tajiks are real heratis. The rest are just inmigrants. 😉

[archie bunker] "it's all made up huh? cause here he is"
"you don't like anything about us.
y-you resent our att-tudes, our politics,
even the clothes we wear."
[verse one: pete nice (prime minister)]
in the heart of the city ya pops nutted
twelve months later, your moms stuttered
the side of your grill, ill creational
you grew up, your rhymes were recreational
a modern day production of the city street
you said i didn't have it that i couldn't compete
but the sleeper did sleep cause the sleeper shoulda woke up
now you're in my sight, the buddha sess you smoke up
that's the element you carry your rhymes on
but that style of rhyme won't let you live long
cause a strong song the minister sent
cause i'm a product, of the environment
"there it is, black and white."
"there it is, black and white"
[verse two: mc serch]
on the streets of far rockaway, queens
edgemill waycrest, by b-17
redfern houses where 501's afraid to go
is where i first kicked my lingo
crowd was flipped as i kicked it and didn't rest
and my reward was almost a cap in my chest
now in 90, i can still say that
the brothers in rockaway, yo, they don't play that
hammer, watts, or in every neighborhood
look around and see all the young hoods
kids will always be makin bids so you can't prevent
bein a product, of the environment
"there it is, black and white."
"there it is, black and white"
[verse three: mc serch, pete nice]
back in the days when kids were mack daddies
striped lee jeans, playboys and caddies
long beach, the m.o.k. center
he almost caught a bad one as he tried to enter
i'd wait
there it is g
b-m rush the back door
then scatter, onto the dance floor
me and my boys, just skeezin all the cuties
never had static, cuz everybody knew me
local dj's, tearin up the wax
and out the corner, some punk gets taxed
after the party, cracked open the forty
boosted from the store yo the man never caught me
jetted to the arcade, cranked the b-ss
and then the five-oh chased us from the place
hop on the railroad, play the conductor
everywhere i went, i always tucked a
marker in my jacket to bomb up where i went
cause we were just products, of the environment
"there it is, black and white."
"there it is, black and white"
[verse four: pete nice]
you hear it in the strength of my voice and in my rhythm
igg it – now you know how i was livin
it happened to me, like it happened to serch
pimp minister pete nice'll kick the verse
ah richie rich and my boy, kiwai hood-tight
the k to a kingston, bedford-stuyvesant
jetted to the empire, and hoods was flammin
open for dana, skins in are skammin
mouth open wide, all those listening
dumb open with a cisco in my system
unprotected but respected for my own self
cause of talent, no shade, or nothin else
a time of tension, racially fenced in
i came off (and all the brothers blessed him)
i left more than a mark, i left a dent
cause i'm a product, of the environment

NVIDIA's GT300 coming along well for Q4'09
Word's come in from the horse's mouth that NVIDIA's first DirectX 11 (GT300) GPU is shaping up okay and should make it for a Q4'09 launch, despite previous reports indicating delays and yield issues.
It seems that the GT300 has been taped out long ago and that yields are fine. This statement comes from a senior product manager for the GT300, but we also have this from our own sources [who have been saying this all along].
So where did the rumors of sub 2% yields come from? Well according to the unnamed source it looks like AMD's Competitive Analysis team mistranslated some information that stated only 9 chips per wafer worked. This information quickly spread around the internet and became what we like to call "the repeated truth". Bear in mind that this was the same team in charge of spreading rumors that Larrabee is now in its third or fourth generation of silicon, which is direly incorrect. But we'll address Larrabee and the turmoil there in a future article.

Cassia Beck is an illustrator and store owner. Her collages are fun and humorous and ever so pretty, enjoy!
Cassia, how would you wish people spoke of your work?
I hope it brings a smile to their face and they appreciate the humour.
We love your surreal collages, what do they represent to you?
My collages are escapism for me and allow me to play and be free. We don't do that enough when we become adults. I enjoy bringing out my weirdness and being a little nonsensical.
What's your biggest inspiration? Where do you get new ideas?
I rarely plan anything, this is why both collage and photography appeal to me. I go with the flow and see what happens. When I create collages I play with shapes and cuttings until I feel they work together. Sometimes the result is instantaneous, other times, I can look at the same unfinished collage for weeks, even months!
Do you do commissioned work or do you mainly create commercially?
I rarely accept commissions. I have built my business around my three young children so I only create work when I can. I can't always stick to a deadline or find the time to fulfil a specific brief so it is easier to work under my own steam. One day!
Do you have any advice for someone who wants to sell their work online?
If you want to sell online, be patient, it takes time. I have seen so many people give it a try and give up too soon, they want instant recognition and fortune. Find your style by producing new work regularly and don't imitate. I think artists who do well, love what they do and love what they produce. If I want to hang my own work in my home, I'm doing it right.
Please can we see your workspace?
My temporary studio is the dining room table while my studio is being refurbished. I have my drawers of paper cuttings and piles of books, I have everything I need.

A Chip Hilton Sports Story "Buzzer Basket" by Clair Bee, published by Grosset & Dunlap, copyright 1962. 175 page hard cover book.
"State University's basketball team, sparked by Chip Hilton, seemed to be headed for another victorious season. Then, in rapid successions, a series of events put the brakes on State's high hopes. In mid-season a new coach, with an entirely different system of play, took over. And Chip, who had been working too hard at his job at State Drug, his studies, and basketball practice, was temporarily put on the inactive list. The result was almost disastrous for the team. Thus, Chip Hilton faced one of his most severe challenges. Would he able to pull the team together again? Could he induce Coach Mike Stone to adopt the type of play that had made them champions? What could he do to help win the crucial game with Northern State? How Chip Hilton faces these tests of character and skill is revealed in this exciting story. Everyone who enjoys basketball and swift action will welcome this new book by one of America's great coaches."
Condition: No rips or tears. The only writing is the previous owners name in ink (Johnson) on the first page of the book. The cover has wear to the corners, edges and spine. There is some age spotting on the first few pages and the last two pages (see photos).

The wheels have fallen somewhat off of the wagon with blogging and quilting, due to visits by family and ninth birthday parties for young daughters, but I did have some time to slink away and sew.
Only the first row is pieced together, and I still need one more block to make it the length I need. I also will be piecing a joined row of squares outside the outer edge as a border, hopefully that should frame it all nicely. I have been trimming, pressing, stitching for hours now – trimming up half square triangles is a boring job really.
But the quilt itself is coming along. And as I said, most of these offcuts were destined for the rubbish bin before I decided to do this quilt so that's got to count for something!
I'd like to thank all my new followers for coming onboard – I hope to visit all your blogs and have already scheduled tomorrow in as a blog and sewing day (rather than boring old housework). I'm so enjoying the Grow Your Blog party!
Till tomorrow,

An Indiana woman who was rushed to the hospital with stomach pains was shocked to find out that she was pregnant and about to give birth.
According to WRTV, Mandy Batchelor of Greencastle, Ind., gave birth to a son just hours after getting to the hospital.
Batchelor, who is already a mother of two, had no idea that she was pregnant. She says that she had weight gain, but that it was similar to her usual winter weight gain.
The baby's father Josh Cox said the couple had to scramble to figure out a name for the 7 pound, 13 ounce child: "General Lee is my Mom's grandpa and then Jacob was my dad's grandpa. So both my great grandpas. I just put them together. Plus I have a general lee car, so it just all worked out."

The only bit of knowledge I dare share with you this evening is my formula for complete and total brain nummage. This formula is hardly unique – and I fear many of you have enjoyed and subsequently suffered from this sort of forumla on many occasions. But here it goes anyway. Who knows. Maybe your brain is firing on all cylinders, and thats just boring, and you would like to figure out a way to make it stop. Read away, this plan should reeeeally do the trick.
(Note: Definition of the Caroline word "Nummage": Having been numbed to a point of total neural failure.)
1 five year old birthday party for T. At home. With games, a star wars theme, self-frosted box cake, pinata, sprinklers, candy, music, beers, balloons, streamers, heat, wet kids, costumed kids, light sabering kids, screaming kids, and exhausted kids.
1 morning of sheer panic packing for a week's vacation to the beach. Where are the UV shirts? Did you pack both blankies AND mickey mouse? Don't forget the mega super value box of goldfish. Did we pack "Return of the Jedi"? No he doesn't want "The Phantom Menace", its gotta be "Return of the Jedi", he's ALLLLL about Luke getting away from Jabba and Boba Fett falling into the Sarlac Pit (…what?…). Wait. This place has STAIRS???? What place has STAIRS in Florida!!!! GET THE BABY GATE GET THE BABY GATE!!!
3 hours of driving to our beach destination. And we actually heard it. I thought it only happened in movies. But we heard it. The notoriously whined, in a continuous loop, starting after hour one: "Uhhhh… ARE WE THERE YET?"
7 of us – my fam, my brother, his wife, and one gloriously inquisitive and truly wonderful 18 month old – together, in a lovely townhouse, overlooking a Marina. …"GET THE BABY GATE UP!!!!! QUIIIIIICK!!!!!"
5 days of wake up, cereal everywhere, find the swim diapers, sunscreen, get the bathing suits on, find the noodles, floaties, toys, find the keys, pile in, go to pool, swim, chase, throw, catch children, pile into car, eat lunch, babies nap, we nap, everyone up, re-sunscreen, re-find everything, pile back in, go to beach, watch the undertow, watch them eat sand, stop them eating sand, pile back in car, realize someones swim diaper doesn't smell so good, get back home, bathe, feed, play hard, to bed, parents hit the booze, eat, swear at the bug bites, appreciate how beautiful it all really is and how lucky we really are, collapse into bed and wake up and do it again.
4 hours back from our destination. There was a tanker explosion on I-75 a few days before and the traffic is fierce. It's 99 degrees outside and my Saturn is in a full sweat keeping our A/C chugging while we crawl along. Nope, we are soooooo not there yet.
1 two year old birthday party for C. At the playground (thank God)! No games, but with a Mickey theme, another self frosted box cake, fruit, balloons, running, pushing swings, its way WAY too bloody hot, Popsicles, goopy cake, sticky kids, total baby meltdowns, and its done in less than 2 hours.
2 more birthday parties since. God help me if I have to eat another piece of frosted cake. Seriously. Birthday cake, the new white meat. It's whats for dinner.
2 bad cases of diarrhea for both of my birthday boys. What? A diet of sand, salt water, pool water, mutual tub water, juice boxes, goldfish, and 5 lbs. of birthday cake aren't going to keep the pipes working normally for my two boys? Soooo utterly shocking.
So yup. That's my formula for total brain nummage. I am SHOCKED this post even got posted. I am SHOCKED I had the wits about me to move. mouse. to. box. that. says. "publish". But I guess I did. So I must be coming around. The neurons are slowly starting to refire. I am getting feeling back in my frontal lobe. If I lay off the overscheduling-total-control-freak crack that leads to this horrid case of brain nummage, there may just be hope for me yet.
Stop laughing at me. It could happen.

A beautiful breastfeeding commercial by the NHS in the UK.
Wednesday, January 23, 2008
Breastfeeding commercial
1 comment:
- Ahmie said...
lovely advert. The only unrealistic thing in the commercial is the huge hoop earrings the nursing mama is wearing - the baby's grabbing the neckline of her shirt, he's gonna grab those earrings as soon as she goes to put him on her shoulder then bye-bye ear lobe. But that would be a different PSA I guess and not specific to breastfeeders at all. People spending time holding babies should not wear earrings that are perfectly sized for little hands to grab, regardless of infant feeding methods used.

Little Libraries Are Having a Big Impact
At the same time that municipal budget cuts threaten the very existence of publicly supported library systems, so-called "little libraries" have emerged as their own subset of the DIY/Tactical urbanist movement.
"Nowadays we have libraries in phone booths and mailboxes, in public parks and train stations, in vacant storefronts and parking lots." writes Shannon Mattern. "Often these are spaces of experimentation, where new models of library service and public engagement can be test-piloted, or where core values can be reassessed and reinvigorated. They are also often an effort to reclaim - for the commons, for the sake of enlightenment (or does this term now carry too much baggage to be used without scare quotes?) - a small corner of public space in cities that have lately become hyper-commercialized, cities that might no longer reflect the civic aspirations of a diverse public."
Considering examples such as the People's Library in Zuccotti Park that was part of the Occupy movement and the UNI project, Mattern attempts to "identify a loose, and inevitably leaky, typology of "little libraries" - to figure out where they're coming from, how they relate to existing institutions that perform similar roles, and what impact they're having on their communities."
"The little library movement is enabling us - sometimes unintentionally, sometimes not - to appreciate the distance that separates these ephemeral, marginal spaces and projects from the strong, stable public institutions that have been so central to our cities, and to our democracy."

It's no surprise preparing Washington for President Obama's official inauguration events scheduled for Monday takes more than planning. Pulling it off takes extra staff, long hours, and specialized equipment—all on a tight turnaround schedule that officially begins election night.
It's easier, of course, if one has experience working the once-every-four-years event, as Hargrove does. The company's history with presidential inaugurations stretches back to President Harry Truman's second inauguration in 1949. For Obama's second inauguration this weekend, the trade show, exhibit, and event production company is working on the two official balls from the Presidential Inaugural Committee, the committee's candlelight dinner at the National Building Museum, the Kids Inaugural, the official parade floats, and nine unofficial events.
All told, it takes more than 60,000 feet of lumber, 300 gallons of paint, and 70,000 square feet of graphics. All 250 full-time employees get involved in the project, along with 70 temporary workers hired specifically to work on the inauguration. While some pieces never change—the presidential seal, for instance—Hargrove does add its own design touches. In 2009, a petal motif surrounded the seal, and this year the company will reveal something new.
"We start thinking and planning for the inauguration well before the election," said Hargrove's Lana Ostrander. "We begin to think through the design process, and we do that for both candidates, so when the candidate is elected we're able to move into gear rather quickly."
Another company returning for this year's inauguration is GoVision, which is providing the LED screens that will flank the stage at the U.S. Capitol for the swearing-in ceremony and set up around the National Mall. The Dallas-area company also will provide signal distribution to all of the screens. It will be the company's third inauguration.
"In the live show world, there is not a lot of room for error," said GoVision president Chris Curtis. "It's not like you get a second chance. The pressure is on, especially with an inauguration and the whole world watching."

KU in Wichita
This year's presentation:
The Emmett Till Memory Project
Dave Tell, Associate Professor of Communications Studies, University of Kansas
Wichita Museum of Art
Please RSVP by March 22 to 785-864-4760.
Where was Emmett Till killed? While the question has never been settled, it has always been lucrative. In the sixty-two years since Till was killed, the murder site has moved several times. This talk follows the murder site around the Delta, attending to the racial politics and financial payouts associated with each possible site. The talk concludes with an overview of the Emmett Till Memory Project, a collaborative, digital attempt to commemorate Till's murder and address, once and for all, the elusive question of where Till was killed.
Dave Tell is Associate Professor of Communication Studies at the University of Kansas. His work on the commemoration of the Emmett Till murder has been featured in the New York Times, Washington Post, and the BBC. Dr. Tell is the Director and Cofounder of the Emmett Till Memory Project (ETMP) - a project to commemorate the sites of Till's murder in the Mississippi Delta. The ETMP is supported by the Till family foundation, the State of Mississippi, the Mississippi Humanities Council, and the Emmett Till Interpretive Center in Sumner, MS. A Fellow of the National Endowment for the Humanities, Dr. Tell is author of Remembering Emmett Till, forthcoming from the University of Chicago Press. The book tells the sometimes inspiring, often-times heartbreaking, always unlikely stories of how Till's murder has been commemorated in the Mississippi Delta.
The Hall Center's public outreach efforts are designed to demonstrate that it is precisely the humanities that are relevant and instructive to the fundamental issues we deal with as individuals and communities. As part of our commitment to this ideal, the Center sponsors KU in Wichita, which brings the scholarship of faculty at KU's Lawrence campus outside the borders of Lawrence.
Faculty have spoken on a wide range of topics, including the efficacy of Margaret Thatcher's leadership, the reception of poet John Keats in America, Mark Twain and his disapproval of the American invasion of the Philippines, and Abraham Lincoln's campaign trail.
This event is made possible by the generous support of the Lattner Family Foundation, and is co-sponsored by the KU Alumni Association and its Wichita Chapter.

Letter from President
I personally want to welcome you to our Golden Eagle Community Bank Website !
Golden Eagle Community Bank is proud to be a member of your community. Some people say banking has changed and that banks are more concerned about collecting fees than helping them. Yes, it is true that banking has changed; technology has helped banks to conveniently provide customers their account information efficiently without having to actually come into an office. Technology has also allowed customers to initiate more transactions from outside of the bank. These are good changes.
Unfortunately, some banks have concentrated more on their bottom line than on their customers. Golden Eagle Community Bank is striving to separate ourselves from the rest. Technology continues to change how bank transactions are processed. However, at Golden Eagle Community Bank, we truly believe you will always find your experience rewarding, enjoyable, personable and most important, very close to private banking when you enter our lobby for services. Our staff will continue to strive for providing quality service with integrity while safeguarding your personal assets. We want you to realize and experience a valued banking relationship when using our products and services.
On behalf of our entire staff, I invite you to visit our website or certainly visit our local office and experience the uniqueness of Golden Eagle Community Bank.
Steven L. Finzel
President, CEO & CFO

- Description
The "Series 180" consists of three compact miniature microphones with patterns that satisfy the demands of all common studio applications. Because of its optimized mechanical construction and conscious omission of modularity, which is unnecessary in many cases, the "Series 180" is predestined for economy-minded production and home recording studios. The KM 183 omnidirectional and KM 185 hypercardioid microphones are based on the tremendously successful KM 184 cardioid microphone, which has become a standard within the global studio community in just a very short time. All "Series 180" microphones are available with either matte black or nickel finish.
They come in a folding box with a windshield and two stand mounts that permit connection to the microphone body, or the XLR-connector.
Their slender shapes and the transmission characteristics described below make the "Series 180" especially suitable for a very wide range of tasks in the radio and television sector.
