Eleanor Dark
Eleanor Dark was one of Australia's finest writers of the 20th Century, and Varuna owes its existence today to Eleanor, her husband Dr Eric Dark and their family.
Eleanor was born in 1901 in Sydney, Australia. She was the second of three children born to the poet, writer and parliamentarian, Dowell Philip O'Reilly and his wife, Eleanor McCulloch O'Reilly. On finishing school and unable to enter university, having failed mathematics, Eleanor learnt typing and took a secretarial job.
In 1922 she married Dr Eric Payten Dark, and in January, 1923 the couple moved to Katoomba, where Eleanor wrote eight of her 10 novels, as well as short stories and articles.
Her best known novel was the best-selling The Timeless Land (1941), the first part of a trilogy, with Storm of Time (1948) and No Barrier (1953).
There is no doubt that Eleanor Dark (1901-1985) is an important figure in Australian literary history. She published 10 novels, of which one, 'The Timeless Land' became a best seller in Australia and the USA and was later made into a popular television series. Her work was translated into European and Scandinavian languages; she won literary prizes, including the Alice Award from the Society of Women Writers; and in 1977 she was awarded the Order of Australia. Eleanor's novels were popular, sometimes controversial and experimental, and they reflected Australian history and culture in a way which was unusual for the time at which they were published (1932-1959). In articles and broadcasts, she also voiced strong opinions on social justice, education and women's issues. Ann Skea

Eric Dark
Dr Eric Payten Dark (1889-1987), Eleanor's husband, was a general practitioner who wrote books, articles and pamphlets on politics and medicine.
Eric Dark was born in Mittagong, New South Wales and qualified as a medical practitioner at Sydney University in 1914, qualifying a year early because of the war. He was among the first hundred Australian doctors who sailed to England to join the Royal Army Medical Corps. Dr Dark, who was recommended for the Military Cross after the battle of the Somme, was eventually awarded the Military Cross for his service at Passchendaele.
Dr Dark later became an active member of the Labor left in NSW, was involved in contemporary political debate and was a committed socialist, although, contrary to local rumour, was never a member of the Communist Party. His books include The World Against Russia and Who are the Reds.
More information about Dr Eric Dark's military memoirs can be found here.
Mick Dark
Michael Dark is the son of Eleanor and Dr Eric Dark, and it was he who decided that Varuna, their family home, should become a gift to Australian literature in memory of his parents. Mick spent his childhood and youth living at Varuna. After the death of his parents, for environmental and personal reasons, he did not want to sell Varuna and in November 1987 he eagerly responded to a suggestion that it could become a residential writers' centre. In 1989 the Eleanor Dark Foundation was formed and Mick gifted the property to the Foundation.
Like his parents before him, Mick was a committed environmentalist. In the 60s and 70s he was a member of the Colong Committee (now Colong Foundation for Wilderness). He was also past President of the Lower and of the Upper Blue Mountains Conservation Societies, now combined as Blue Mountains Conservation Society, of which he was an Honorary Life member. He was also a member of Greenpeace and the Australian Conservation Foundation.
He was the Life President of the Eleanor Dark Foundation Board, taking an active role in the life of Varuna, the Writers House until his death.
Mick Dark died peacefully at Katoomba Hospital on 11 July 2015 after living with Parkinsons for some years. We remember Mick with great fondness as a strong and able man of exceptional integrity and generosity.

Well ... what else would you call it. Up before anything to print the shapes, and then rush home from work, and do nothing but the most cursory of stuff in the house, all in order to be able to sit down and make the next block.
When you look closely at it, you can see that it is exactly the same block with regard to shapes used and their position, compared to the one in the previous post, but it almost defies belief, seeing that they are so very different. And all due to choice of fabrics and their placement relative to each other.

The carriage halted short.
— What's wrong?
— We're stopped.
— Where are we?
Mr Bloom put his head out of the window.
— The grand canal, he said.
Gasworks. Whooping cough they say it cures. Good job Milly never got it. Poor children! Doubles them up black and blue in convulsions. Shame really. Got off lightly with illnesses compared. Only measles. Flaxseed tea. Scarlatina, influenza epidemics. Canvassing for death. Don't miss this chance. Dogs' home over there. Poor old Athos! Be good to Athos, Leopold, is my last wish. Thy will be done. We obey them in the grave. A dying scrawl. He took it to heart, pined away. Quiet brute. Old men's dogs usually are.
A raindrop spat on his hat. He drew back and saw an instant of shower spray dots over the grey flags. Apart. Curious. Like through a colander. I thought it would. My boots were creaking I remember now.
— The weather is changing, he said quietly.
— A pity it did not keep up fine, Martin Cunningham said.
— Wanted for the country, Mr Power said. There's the sun again coming out.
Mr Dedalus, peering through his glasses towards the veiled sun, hurled a mute curse at the sky.
— It's as uncertain as a child's bottom, he said.
— We're off again.
The carriage turned again its stiff wheels and their trunks swayed gently. Martin Cunningham twirled more quickly the peak of his beard.
— Tom Kernan was immense last night, he said. And Paddy Leonard taking him off to his face.
— O, draw him out, Martin, Mr Power said eagerly. Wait till you hear him, Simon, on Ben Dollard's singing of The Croppy Boy.
— Immense, Martin Cunningham said pompously. His singing of that simple ballad, Martin, is the most trenchant rendering I ever heard in the whole course of my experience.
— Trenchant, Mr Power said laughing. He's dead nuts on that. And the retrospective arrangement.
— Did you read Dan Dawson's speech? Martin Cunningham asked.
— I did not then, Mr Dedalus said. Where is it?
— In the paper this morning.
Mr Bloom took the paper from his inside pocket. That book I must change for her.
— No, no, Mr Dedalus said quickly. Later on please.
Mr Bloom's glance travelled down the edge of the paper, scanning the deaths: Callan, Coleman, Dignam, Fawcett, Lowry, Naumann, Peake, what Peake is that? is it the chap was in Crosbie and Alleyne's? no, Sexton, Urbright. Inked characters fast fading on the frayed breaking paper. Thanks to the Little Flower. Sadly missed. To the inexpressible grief of his. Aged 88 after a long and tedious illness. Month's mind: Quinlan. On whose soul Sweet Jesus have mercy.
It is now a month since dear Henry fled To his home up above in the sky While his family weeps and mourns his loss Hoping some day to meet him on high.
I tore up the envelope? Yes. Where did I put her letter after I read it in the bath? He patted his waistcoatpocket. There all right. Dear Henry fled. Before my patience are exhausted.
National school. Meade's yard. The hazard. Only two there now. Nodding. Full as a tick. Too much bone in their skulls. The other trotting round with a fare. An hour ago I was passing there. The jarvies raised their hats.
A pointsman's back straightened itself upright suddenly against a tramway standard by Mr Bloom's window. Couldn't they invent something automatic so that the wheel itself much handier? Well but that fellow would lose his job then? Well but then another fellow would get a job making the new invention?
Antient concert rooms. Nothing on there. A man in a buff suit with a crape armlet. Not much grief there. Quarter mourning. People in law perhaps.
They went past the bleak pulpit of saint Mark's, under the railway bridge, past the Queen's theatre: in silence. Hoardings: Eugene Stratton, Mrs Bandmann Palmer. Could I go to see LEAH tonight, I wonder. I said I. Or the Lily of Killarney? Elster Grimes Opera Company. Big powerful change. Wet bright bills for next week. Fun on the Bristol. Martin Cunningham could work a pass for the Gaiety. Have to stand a drink or two. As broad as it's long.
He's coming in the afternoon. Her songs.
Plasto's. Sir Philip Crampton's memorial fountain bust. Who was he?
— How do you do? Martin Cunningham said, raising his palm to his brow in salute.
— He doesn't see us, Mr Power said. Yes, he does. How do you do?
— Who? Mr Dedalus asked.
— Blazes Boylan, Mr Power said. There he is airing his quiff.
Just that moment I was thinking.
Mr Dedalus bent across to salute. From the door of the Red Bank the white disc of a straw hat flashed reply: spruce figure: passed.
Mr Bloom reviewed the nails of his left hand, then those of his right hand. The nails, yes. Is there anything more in him that they she sees? Fascination. Worst man in Dublin. That keeps him alive. They sometimes feel what a person is. Instinct. But a type like that. My nails. I am just looking at them: well pared. And after: thinking alone. Body getting a bit softy. I would notice that: from remembering. What causes that? I suppose the skin can't contract quickly enough when the flesh falls off. But the shape is there. The shape is there still. Shoulders. Hips. Plump. Night of the dance dressing. Shift stuck between the cheeks behind.
He clasped his hands between his knees and, satisfied, sent his vacant glance over their faces.
Mr Power asked:
— How is the concert tour getting on, Bloom?
— O, very well, Mr Bloom said. I hear great accounts of it. It's a good idea, you see . . .
— Are you going yourself?
— Well no, Mr Bloom said. In point of fact I have to go down to the county Clare on some private business. You see the idea is to tour the chief towns. What you lose on one you can make up on the other.
— Quite so, Martin Cunningham said. Mary Anderson is up there now.
Have you good artists?
— Louis Werner is touring her, Mr Bloom said. O yes, we'll have all topnobbers. J. C. Doyle and John MacCormack I hope and. The best, in fact.
— And Madame, Mr Power said smiling. Last but not least.
Mr Bloom unclasped his hands in a gesture of soft politeness and clasped them. Smith O'Brien. Someone has laid a bunch of flowers there. Woman. Must be his deathday. For many happy returns. The carriage wheeling by Farrell's statue united noiselessly their unresisting knees.
Oot: a dullgarbed old man from the curbstone tendered his wares, his mouth opening: oot.
— Four bootlaces for a penny.
Wonder why he was struck off the rolls. Had his office in Hume street. Same house as Molly's namesake, Tweedy, crown solicitor for Waterford. Has that silk hat ever since. Relics of old decency. Mourning too. Terrible comedown, poor wretch! Kicked about like snuff at a wake. O'Callaghan on his last legs.

The existing traffic lights at the Main Road and Clairvaux Road intersection, and Main Road and the Kalk Bay Harbour entrance have been set to flashing red mode for all directions.
Motorists are obliged to treat these intersections as a 3-way stop and are requested to exercise extreme caution when traveling through these intersections.
This situation has been created as a precursor to the implementation of the signalised stop / go system south of Clairvaux Road, and to prepare road users for the pending temporary traffic management system.
The temporary traffic management system is expected to be operational early next week, but is dependent on the Contractor completing some modifications to the existing Main Road north of Clairvaux Road.
Main Road between Clairvaux and Rouxville Roads will then be opened to two-way traffic and the section of Main Road between Clairvaux Road and the Bible Institute, will start operating as a signalised stop/go system, utilising three new sets of temporary traffic signals. The existing traffic signals will be switched off at this stage.
Details of implementation :
Three sets of temporary traffic signals will be installed together with a dedicated signal controller. This will be similar to the system installed under the Phase 1 contract. The Metrorail crossing will be managed manually, by trained personnel. The boom control and flashing red lights at the level crossing will remain in place.
Each cycle of the signal timing will operate on an approximate two to five minute cycle but will be adjusted as circumstances warrant. The three cycles will be set up as follows:
1.Clairvaux Road : Left or right turning traffic into Main Road.
2.Main Road Southbound : Right turning into Clairvaux Road or straight on to Clovelly.
3.Main Road Northbound : Left turning into Clairvaux Road or straight on to Muizenberg.
In addition three variable messaging signs (VMS's) will be erected to indicate in advance the availability of public parking at the harbour in an attempt to prevent queues developing at the harbour entrance which may impact on the Main Road through traffic. The VMS will be erected as follows:
1. at the harbour entrance,
2. on Clairvaux Road; and
3. on Main Road before the Kalk Bay Station parking area.

Russian stocks have a chance to grow in Friday trading "provided that the December PMI index for China shows positive dynamics," Andrey Shenk of Investcafe told RT via e-mail.
PMI, or the Purchasing Manager Index, is an indicator of business activity in the manufacturing sector, largely reflecting business operating conditions.
On Thursday, the key indices in Russia went down. The RTS dropped 0.48% to 1,499.68 and the MICEX fell 0.25% to 1,462.87.
Asian stock markets stuttered Friday after a survey showed a sharp drop in Japanese business confidence. A lack of progress in US budget negotiations furtherintensified fears that the world's largest economy is facing a new recession.
Japan's Nikkei 225 index fell 0.4% to 9,706.50 after a Bank of Japan survey showed large Japanese manufacturers becoming more pessimistic about business conditions. Over the last three months, the index dropped until it hit minus 12 in December, performing far worse than expected in light of the minus three reading registered in September.
South Korea's Kospi fell 0.6% to 1,989.66. Benchmarks in Singapore and Taiwan also fell. Hong Kong's Hang Seng rose 0.3% to 22,519.7 and Australia's S&P/ASX added 0.1% to 4,588.90.
On Wall Street, the stocks slid Thursday, as investors registered their dismay at the apparent lack of progress during budget talks in Washington between President Barack Obama and key Republican lawmakers.
The Dow Jones industrial average fell 0.6 % to 13,170.72. The Standard & Poor's 500 index shed 0.6% to 1,419.45. The Nasdaq composite was down 0.7 % to 2,992.16.
A deal must be reached by the end of the year to avoid what has been dubbed the "fiscal cliff'" – hundreds of billions of dollars in automatic spending cuts and tax increases that could plunge the world's largest economy back into recession.
"Without a resolution soon the usual Christmas rally could come to a very quick and abrupt end as investors prepare themselves for the worst," said Angus Campbell, Head of Market Analysis, Capital Spreads.


text: Tonight Fox News reported about the "cash for clunkers" program creating jobs at a particular junkyard. All those vehicles collected during the program need to be stripped and recycled for their metals. To handle the glut of vehicles, this particular junkyard hired something like 10 new employees. That's good. But don't call this place a junkyard. It's a "late model recycling center." Oh yeah.

Now Shamrocks take to hurling on the road
BALLYHALE Shamrocks are inviting people to open their minds to a new experience this weekend……hurling on the road.
The former All-Ireland club champions have arranged the novel community outing around the roads of the parish on Saturday.
It will involve scores of people belting hurling balls along a 2.4 mile stretch of road between Ballyhale and Knocktopher.
"It is great fun," insisted All-Ireland winning captain, Michael Fennelly (junior), who will be taking part. "Family, friends, strangers or whoever can play it together. It can be as competitive or as laid back as people want it to be."
Taken by the game
The Kilkenny midfielder first experienced what they are calling "road hurling" in Cork a few years ago. He was instantly taken by the game and the fun aspect to it, so when the idea was first floated in his own club to play it he was an enthusiastic supporter.
The basic idea is that teams, made up by three members, strike a sliotar over the laid out course along the road from point A to B in as few a strokes as possible. The participants will be armed with a caman and three size 5 hurling balls.
The team members take it in turn driving the ball along the road. A penalty shot can be incurred if a ball is lost, or is driven into a field along the way.
Accuracy is more advantageous than power, apparently. And if a sliotar is hit into a field, participants have a time limit in which to retrieve it before suffering a penalty stroke.
"It is a fun event more than anything else," explained Shamrocks secretary, Sean O'Sullivan. "There is a competitive element to it, but those who just want to have a go can get involved too."
Teams can be made up by boys, girls, ladies or men, in any combination. The entry fee is 30 Euro per team, and there will be prizes for the top finishers.
Have a strategy
"It would be helpful to have some sort of strategy before heading off," advised Michael Fennelly. "It is not all about driving the ball as far as you can. It is something a little bit different, but I know people will have fun if they take up the challenge."
When he played the "road hurling" in Cork, which was organised by the Na Piarsaigh club, Mr Fennelly's team recorded around 50 shots. But they didn't win!
The registration centre will be Ballyhale hall on Saturday (11am). The starting point will be on the Church Road, and the route will follow the back roads to Knocktopher from there.
Sean O'Sullivan (086-8743741) is currently taking entries.

On Thursday night, Sept. 19, there were about 30 of us women who gathered together to learn awareness and self-protection. We had Sgt. Anissa Satterfield and Sgt. Carolyn Copeland from the Wise County Sheriff's Office Crime Investigation Unit come and teach us.
It was exceptional and professional. We were taught things we would have never thought about before and were able to have any questions answered that could help us stay safe.
We plan on having them give us refresher courses in the future. They are awesome. Thank you, Wise County Sheriffs Office, for all you do for us. We appreciate you!

I never knew how much this last year I would have to be bold. Have strength where I never thought I had, be courageous or even believe in myself when I didn't know how to be. Some may see this as vulnerable, weak... well that is good. I don't mind being vulnerable or even exhibiting vulnerability. I think so many times on the blogs that we visit we see such a beautiful picture of how somebodies life is... how well put together they are, how it seems that they have it all planned out.
Well that is not me. I have things planned out just the way I need them to be, and well that is good with me. We all have the same days to live, most of the same responsibilities and demands. And well... this is what had me thinking long and hard about what my word for this year would be.
Truth: This year I want to be true to myself, true to my family and friends. I want to be able to show what is inside of me and not feel the need to hold back. I am looking forward to learning about myself... stretching my limits and not apologizing. I find myself apologizing for things sometimes that are not even in my control. My goal this year is to build relationships in which are based on this truth. Build my friendships with friends that I can encourage and that encourage me as well. Surround myself with those who can see in me the me I hide... and love her anyways.
It seems so simple, yet so hard at the same time. I know that I still may let the wrong people in, that I will still make a ton of mistakes, and that well I may not always have the right answers or even understand what direction I am headed. But I promise to take each step forward in truth. Evaluate each option and take the time to make the right decision. I WON'T be pressured by TIME. It is never to late and I am going to always remember that. The right time will always be there, and I can grab it when I am good and ready.
So this is my pledge to myself. With this, I hope to be a better wife, mother and child. I hope to do my work to the best of my ability and create art and handmade goods to my liking. I like this simple approach, and I think it will be very good for me this year.
Earlier this month I was blessed to help out with Brave Girl Camp. I think back to what brought me to camp last year... and what I was able to bring of myself to camp this year... it was so different. I know that last time I went to camp, I had a hard time expressing myself in words that were appropriately describe the feelings and events that I experienced there... this time, I truly hope to be able to give you all the opportunity to see camp through my eyes.. let's hope I can find the right words :)
Thanks for everything ♥

My love of WIP's
However I digress. The crux of this post is how much I love looking at WIP's. It is so soothing and relaxing to look at how other people are getting on with their pieces. I love seeing how different projects are coming together. I end up trawling the internet looking for places where people have posted their WIP pics. I really love seeing completed or in progress pieces of charts that I am current stitching, have in my stash or on my wishlist.
So to all you fellow crafters and stitchers out there, a big thank you from me for taking the time to share your work.
I have also been trying to narrow my focus on projects for 2013. I have a number of goals in mind including:
I have to finish Oriental Elegance
I have a secret project I need to get done during the year
I have a project for my OH that he wants me to stitch for him
I want to finish Majestic Peacock
I want to finish QS Fairy with Butterfly Mask
I am planning a new start probably around May of HAED chart Autumn by Jacek Yerka with Spices of your life (Please do check out her brand new blog)
I also want to get the HAED BB SAL piece done.
And somewhere in with all of this, work and study I want to get work on Bridge of Wings done.
Wow that is a long list of things to try and get done. I wonder how many I will achieve. Majestic Peacock is going to be my first YOTA piece and I may have to restrict myself to maybe a week working on a YOTA piece in each month, but not sure yet. This list does not include work on Celtic Spring, QS Clara, QS Olianna, The Journey (Aveyond) or a number of other charts I have on the go :-s
How about you, have you all been thinking about your plans for 2013?

Good luck with reaching your goals for next year. My lists started but I have to look around for what other wip's are lurking that I've forgotten about this weekend.ReplyDelete
I love looking at what everybody else is working on too.Good luck with your goals.xReplyDelete
Good luck on your goals for next year.ReplyDelete
I agree... it has been great seeing everyone's WIP's :)
Good luck with your goals and I'm sure the result will be stunning :)ReplyDelete
i also love looking at everyones stitching, also everyone has a different point of view so its a great way to pick up ideas i never would have thought of myself. i have a list of projects i would like to do next year, now if only i could stop adding to that list i might be able to achieve it.ReplyDelete
Good luck with your goals. I LOVE seeing WIP pictures too.ReplyDelete
I also get inspired by seeing the WIPs of others. It's fun to see multiple people working the same design different ways and to see projects I add to my wish list I might have not even gave a second look before seeing someone else's finish :)ReplyDelete
Wip photos are great! Yep my 2013 goals are listed and I have almost everything at the ready for them...I have decided on 10(!!) for next year.ReplyDelete
I did a challenge earlier this year called 12 for 2012, in which you complete one WIP project each month. I was doing ok on this until health issues came up. Once that was all resolved than this semester at college has been a tough one. I didn't even get done with half of my projects, however it was good to work on them. Not sure if another challenge for next year is being done, but even if not than I plan on doing one. My list that I didn't complete this year will make it on next years list.ReplyDelete
Hey craft4others I am hosting an event called YOTA which is aimed at helping people get unfinished projects done. The instructions are at the tab at the top of this blog. If you want to join in to help motivate yourself please do :)ReplyDelete
Happy Stitching!! Hope you enjoy all :)ReplyDelete
Blogs definitely provide us stitchers with a lot of eye candy!!!ReplyDelete
I am going to just take it one day at a time. I decided to start a new blog just for my stitching and I added your blog to the "blog list". Can't wait to keep up with you WIPs.ReplyDelete

Sometimes We All Need A Shoulder To Lean ON
We are here because we want to be; to learn, discuss; complain about our illness for encouragement; read, meet similar people with similar problems, and many other reasons. But sometimes while we are here we get off track and complain about our own problems that particular da., Depression; illness and other issues of the day. I know I have done that lately, but I do feel comfortable enough to do that; I guess that is important when you trust in your friends enough to spill your guts out( tho'. I would not mind if anyone needed and trusted me enough, to ask me or post for help of a different time. )Or if they had an off day and just wanted to get it out someway; like I often do. It just makes you feel better(But after I have posted I feel bad about people who read the post). But; if someone has advice of any kind, that is an unexpected bonus.
So "Breaking the Silence" or having someone to talk to and hears you, is so important. Could you imagine how many suicides there would be if people had nowhere they could go to talk and have a shoulder to lead on?

Gold and Silver
by Maxine Brown
A dream came true on August 3, 1963 when then Grand Ole Opry manager, Ott Divine invited The Browns to become Opry members. Little did we ever dream that we would be celebrating a golden anniversary with our brother Jim Ed.
In 1967, Bonnie and I more or less retired because of family ties which limited our Opry appearances. Jim Ed remained with the Opry and became a legend on his own merits. Bonnie and I made several guest appearances during the past fifty years–here we were, still living with a touch of silver now in our hair, celebrating Jim Ed's golden anniversary on stage of the greatest show in the world, the Grand Ole Opry.
Before the first show began, we arrived early so we could visit with a host of friends who had come by to share this historic event. Jim Ed hosted one of the best parties you can ever imagine in the backstage Hostess room with many different kinds of foods, and drinks. The room was jam-packed. Bonnie and I were thrilled we got to see so many of our old friends again.
During the first performance, he was presented with awards from many influential people; The Tennessee State Legislature, Gaylord and Grand Ole Opry manager, Pete Fisher who presented him with a gold diamond watch. (Bonnie and I were thinking the same thing–why did we ever leave?)
I had many obstacles in the past few years…hip surgery which never healed; two brain aneurysm's which damaged my vocal cords due to the nineteen hours on the operating table. Therefore, I was afraid to try singing with Bonnie and Jim Ed. Thanks to Pete Fisher for finding me a wheel chair and providing an escort through those crowded hall ways to the Opry stage. In spite of these obstacles, there was no way I was going to miss this prestigious event. Thanks to Jim Ed for sending his bus to pick up Bonnie and myself so we could be comfortable on the trip to Music City.
After the second show, we rushed to the Ernest Tubb Theater for the Midnight Jamboree. The place was packed with fans from all over the country, standing room only and some were not able to get inside the door. David McCormick, CEO of the record shop was gracious as always. He escorted Bonnie and I to the front row. Later in the show, Jim Ed left the stage and joined Bonnie and I on a verse and chorus of the Three Bells. David had a 303 lb. cake all decorated for the public to enjoy. I think Randy Francis got the last piece.
My den is decorated with plaques from David and the Record Shop. The last one was July, 2009 when the Browns celebrated fifty years of The Three Bells. This night he presented us with a beautiful Oak engraved Plaque, celebrating this event. I think of all The Browns awards, this one means more than any I have ever received.
I am most thankful that The Browns were all together for Jim Ed's Golden Anniversary and able to share some Golden memories.

The Browns Appear Live on The Eddie Stubbs Show
By Randy Francis
On learning that all three members of the legendary Browns were planning to be together in Nashville to celebrate Jim Ed's golden anniversary as a member of the Grand Ole Opry, the also legendary radio personality Eddie Stubbs immediately arranged for a live interview appearance on his very popular Thursday
evening program broadcast from WSM studio. Stubbs has long been declaring his deep-rooted love for The Browns. In August of 2007 he invited them for a very special interview program originating from inside the hallowed walls of RCA Studio B called "An Intimate Evening with Eddie Stubbs". It was an unforgettable evening of reminiscence and live singing from the very spot where The Browns had stood and~with producer Chet Atkins and some of the most revered studio musicians in recording history~had created so many dozens of timeless classics in the late 50s and early 60s. On that occasion The Browns and Stubbs were paid a surprise visit by some of the trio's biggest admirers, Ricky Skaggs and the Whites! This invitation by Eddie, on Thursday August 8, 2013, was well-announced and quite an event. It was to be transmitted to all parts of the world via WSM Online!
I was very excited as I tuned in a few minutes before 7PM on my computer, turned off the TV set and put my feet up in the recliner next to my mom, also a great fan of the Browns' music. Eddie announced several times that Jim Ed, Maxine and Bonnie were expected to be walking through the doors at just any moment, urging the radio audience to stay tuned for what promised to be a very special evening. About 45 minutes into the show Eddie played The Browns' classic 1956 RCA Victor record "I'm in Heaven" and I smiled because that was the cue that The Browns had arrived! Immediately after introducing the guests of honor, Eddie was quick to point out that he chose that particular song because that was how he felt in the presence of The Browns…in Heaven! The on-air visit yielded some truly fascinating dialogue with stories, off-the-cuff humor, memories of their years on the Opry, reflections on the Browns' close associations with people like Jim Reeves, Chet Atkins and others, and some very interesting points of view about the nature of The Browns' unique harmony. Eddie gave a first-hand account of a portion of the last known interview of Chet Atkins, taking place only months before his death, which he felt so privileged to have conducted. Stubbs revealed to The Browns that he had asked the great Atkins if he had any favorites from among the many hundreds of great artists he had worked with and produced throughout his long career. "Without hesitation…" said Stubbs,"he answered Jim Reeves and The Browns." He added that it was because of "the great talent, great song selections and such timeless arrangements." I think The Browns had been told of these words by their beloved mentor before this, but this lifelong fan (yours truly) had not and to hear Eddie make this statement so affirmatively was simply thrilling to me!
Throughout the interview Eddie played many of The Browns' most eternal classics…"Here Today and Gone Tomorrow", "I Take the Chance", "Beyond the Shadow", "The Three Bells", "Scarlet Ribbons (For Her Hair)", "The Old Lamplighter", and a very special vintage live performance, dated April 1964 from the stage of the Grand Ole Opry, of The Browns presenting their newest hit single "Then I'll Stop Loving You". It was wonderful to hear Eddie state that this classic, from the pen of Gentleman Jim Reeves, as recorded "spectacularly" by the Browns, was one of his top personal favorites…because i too have always been highly partial to that recording!
With thoughtfulness toward Maxine and Bonnie, who had just arrived in town after a 12-hour bus ride, I think The Browns' portion of the show that evening was supposed to last for a one-hour segment only, but the interview was progressing so fantastically well with such fascinating discussions between the four of them that it kept getting extended until they realized it had been going for 2 hours and 20 minutes! I'm sure that most of The Browns' die-hard fans from around the world who were listening in could tell that Maxine and Bonnie were quite tired…but at the same time very mellow and, no doubt, thrilled to be where they were! I think for several reasons, this interview was probably the best and most definitive interview that the three Browns together have ever given!
Those of you who missed it will be happy to know that it is currently archived at WSM Online, The Eddie Stubbs Show. You will find a link taking you to the list of archived shows just below!
The Bus
By Maxine Brown
When I reflect on our trip to Nashville for Jim Ed's golden anniversary on the Grand Ole Opry, the words from his newest hit single come to mind. "I'd Like To Be In Style Again"….that's how Bonnie and I felt when our brother sent his million dollar bus to pick us up from our respective homes and bring us back to Music City to enjoy the weekend of celebrating in high style! The three of us became members of the Opry cast on August 10, 1963 realizing a life-long dream. We enjoyed some wonderful years performing on that stage before Bonnie and I decided to retire to stay home and raise our children. Brother Jim Ed remained with the Opry and over the decades since he has become a legend on his own merits and we are very proud of him!! At age 79, he is still the best singer on the Opry, has a smash hit single and is still entertaining crowds traveling in his unbelievable luxury coach! I thought of those early years when the three of us were on the road, pioneering this business traveling in my 1954 yellow Chevrolet. If The Browns had been afforded this kind of luxury back in our day, perhaps we would still be in the business.
Jim Ed's driver, a handsome young man named Bo Harlan, first stopped in Dardanelle to pick up Bonnie and Brownie and some close friends of theirs before coming to North Little Rock to pick up me and my granddaughter and one of her close friends. None of us had ever seen such a glamorous travel coach as this and as soon as we boarded we knew we were traveling in style. Bonnie and her friends had prepared all kinds of treats for the trip…gourmet sandwiches, cheese dips, southern friend chicken, you name it, we had it. We had it all including several bottles of cold champagne!! The ride to Nashville was great fun, riding in comfort, and thoroughly enjoying each others company.
After the excitement of the weekend events was all over the trip coming back home was anything but glamorous. Just after boarding, the generator blew. Jim Ed had Bo drive to Truckers Paradise on Interstate 40 and wait for a mechanic. After three hours of waiting, he finally showed up but brought the wrong part. Brownie said "Lets get this show on the road, this thing may never get fixed". Mind you, it was 102 degrees in the shade and inside that bus it must have been 200. We loaded up with ice, water, drinks, cups and snacks from the truck stop. Everything left over from the trip going up had to be thrown away…all except the champagne that is!! None of the windows would open. Hot was not the word for it,we were burning up. I thought of those days on the farm when all we had to cool ourselves with was a hand held fan. I doubt if anyone has one of those nowadays and I'm sure many of you don't know what I'm talking about, but here we were wishing we had something to fan ourselves with, and there was nothing.
We started playing strip poker. I had never won at poker, and here I was winning every hand. I never got to take off as much as a shoe. It was getting too dark to see and all the flashlight batteries went dead…what next? Mind you, we had no lights, no water, therefore no bathroom. We still had enough champagne to float a battleship. Bonnie and her friends started guzzling. The drunker they talked, the longer they got!!
Just outside of Memphis, we ran into the worst storm you can ever imagine. The dark skies and lightning inspired us to tell our favorite ghost stories. Anything to keep our mind occupied. It got to be quite scary. I wished a thousand times I had my WIDE MOUTH FRUIT JAR.
It was a happy bunch when the bus took the exit in North Little Rock, leading to my house. He stopped at the foot of my mountain at the Super-Stop Service Station. Everyone made a bee line to the rest rooms. The men's was occupied but who cared? It was probably the first time he had ever seen so many happy women in the men's rest room all at the same time. They breathed a sign of relief as they all boarded the bus for the 80 miles to Dardanelle to drop off Bonnie and Brownie and their friends; then another 80 miles further to Ft. Smith which was home to Bo and his mother who made the trip with us.
Jim Ed stopped by my house recently after performing a show in Northern Arkansas. He was driving his pick-em-up truck. His bus was still in the shop somewhere in Oklahoma. He said he loved his truck but anxious to get his bus fixed and once again turn the driving duties over to Bo. When I think of all the events of that unforgettable weekend in early August, I feel sure that, despite the problems, we would do it all over…..provided we could do it IN STYLE AGAIN.
Fall Recipes. Enjoy!
6 Cups cooked & mashed Sweet Potatoes
1 Cup Sugar
1 3/4 Sticks Butter or Margarine, melted
2 Tablespoons Vanilla
1 1/2 Cups Evaporated Milk
1 Can Crushed Pineapple with Juice (medium size can)
1 Small container Coconut
Boil Potatoes in jackets until done. Peel & mash. Add all other ingredients. Whip until creamy. Place in buttered casserole dish & top with PECAN TOPPING:
2 Cups Pecans, chopped
1 Cup Flour
2 Cups Brown Sugar
2 Sticks Butter or Margarine, melted
Mix Pecans & Flour together: Add Sugar & melted Butter. Mix & pour on top of Sweet Potatoes. Spread evenly. Bake for approximately 45 minutes at 350 degrees. (Note: Marshmallows is always a good topping for Sweet Potato Casserole, if desired).
Select about 3 Large SWEET POTATOES. Wash, peel & slice about l/8 inch thick. Melt l/4 cup BUTTER in heavy skillet. Sprinkle a little SALT over potatoes. Arrange in layers of SUGAR sprinkled between each layer. Cook covered, turning ever so often to brown & steam a little. When they are done, remove from skillet but keep warm. (You may wish to add a bit more butter and sugar. This is best cooked in a cast iron skillet.). If you don't have one, any heavy duty skillet will be ok to use. You will love Sweet Potatoes cooked this way.
FRESH APPLE CAKE has been handed down through many generations of my family. Living on a farm, everyone had an apple orchard. We utilized those apples in many different recipes: pies, cakes, dumplings, jelly, apple butter, baked, and many more. Fresh Apple Cake is a favorite of my family, I hope its one of yours.
3 Cups Flour
2 Cups Sugar
1/2 Teaspoon Salt
2 Teaspoons Baking Soda
2 Teaspoons Cinnamon
3 Eggs
1 1/4 Cup Corn Oil
4 Cups Apples ( peeled & diced)
1 Cup Nuts, chopped (optional)
Mix all dry ingredients together. Add eggs one at a time, beating well. Add oil, apples, & nuts (if desired). (Note: The dough will get very stiff and hard to mix with a mixer, so 'get a little dough on your hands & dig in'. Bake in loaf pan for one hour or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. You can also use a sheet pan if desired. Cream Cheese makes a good frosting, but the Browns favorite is:
3 Cups Sugar
1 Large Can Pet Milk
1 Stick Butter or Margarine
2 Tablespoons Vanilla
Dash of Salt
Using a heavy duty sauce pan, cook sugar & pet milk together until it forms a soft ball by dropping in small amount of cold water. Stir constantly to keep from burning. When a soft ball is formed, remove from heat & add vanilla, butter & salt. Beat until it looks glossy and of right consistency to spread on cooled cake. (This takes awhile, but don't give up, it will scorch easy so use a wooden spoon & non-stick pan.).
Wash & core APPLES. Peel down the skin from the top of each apple about one-inch. Scoop out the core. Place apple in a baking dish & fill cavities with a mixture of SUGAR & CINNAMON. Top each apple with a Teaspoon BUTTER & then fill dish with about one-half inch of water Cover dish with foil, bake at 375 degrees for about 30 minutes, or until APPLES are very tender.
This is the time of year when everyone's thoughts turn to some fall recipes.

1 Small container Coconut (approximately One Cup)
1 Cup Chopped Nuts
Combine Oil, Eggs & Pumpkin. Beat well. In separate bowl, mix Flour, Sugar, Pie Filling Mix, Soda, Salt, Baking Powder Cinnamon, Nuts & Coconut. Add to Mixture. Mix well. This makes two loaves. Bake at 350 for one hour, or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.

Hi and welcome to my first post!
After intensively reading all of your wonderful sewing and crafts blogs for about a year, I figured I might give it a go.
I love anything creative - beading, painting, knitting, crocheting...but my newest passion is sewing. I learned basic sewing skills in middle school (handcraft is a mandatory class in Switzerland, where I grew up), but I never really sewed after that. When my daughter was born in the end of 2010 I started having the urge to create things for her. I hand sewed her a few toys out of felt and then started surfing the internet for more ideas I could make without a sewing machine. I found some really fun things to make, but realized that I could only go so far without a sewing machine. So last year, for my birthday, my aunt bought me my first sewing machine, and that is when my passion for sewing started. My mom helped me get started with my first project - a sofa cover that would make our old sofa look more elegant in our new apartment, and then I kind of just took off from there.
I went from sewing easy things for the new apartment to clothes for my daughter and now newly clothes for myself. I have just been eating up all of those wonderful tutorials in the sewing blog world (thank you sewing blog ladies!) and am starting to find my own style. I started this blog to have a place to capture everything I make and share it with family and friends, and who knows where it will go from here.
I hope you enjoy my blog. Looking forward to seeing where it takes me.

13 Politically Incorrect Gun Rules
By Dell Hill via The Daily Caller
Gun lovers. Herewith are thirteen things to remember when carrying your weapon. BTW- this list is not original. I've Google up the bullet points but alas …I got nada in regards to who penned it. If and when someone schools me on who the author is you can rest assure that I'll give him or her proper praise. Enjoy.
1. Guns have only two enemies rust and politicians.
2. It's always better to be judged by 12 than carried by 6.
3. Cops carry guns to protect themselves, not you.
4. Never let someone or something that threatens you get inside arms length.
5. Never say, "I've got a gun." If you need to use deadly force, the first sound they hear should be the safety clicking off.
6. The average response time of a 911 call is 23 minutes; the response time of a .357 is 1400 feet per second. (When seconds count, the police are just 23 minutes away!)
7. The most important rule in a gunfight is: Always win – cheat if necessary.
8. Make your attacker advance through a wall of bullets . . . You may get killed with your own gun, but he'll have to beat you to death with it, because it'll be empty.
9. If you're in a gunfight:
- If you're not shooting, you should be loading.
- If you're not loading, you should be moving.
- If you're not moving, you're dead.
10. In a life and death situation, do something . . . It may be wrong, but do something!
11. If you carry a gun, people call you paranoid. Nonsense! If you have a gun, what do you have to be paranoid about?
12. You can say 'stop' or 'alto' or any other word, but a large bore muzzle pointed at someone's head is pretty much a universal language.
13. You cannot save the planet, but you may be able to save yourself and your family.
Editor's Note: Our good friend Doug is the author of Raising Righteous & Rowdy Girls. Follow him on Twitter @Doug_Giles and on Facebook. You can see and hear Doug's video blog and talk show at ClashRadio.com.
Dell's Bottom Line:
If you make the decision to shoot; shoot to kill. I hope and pray you're never in such a predicament, but you never, ever shoot to "wound" or "slow down" an armed attacker - DRH.

PORTLAND — A new style of learning, championed by author Paul Tough, is being applied in Portland's public schools and in the creative writing programs offered at The Telling Room.
The Telling Room, in connection with the schools, USM's Teacher Education Department and several other education groups, will host a presentation by Tough on Nov. 7 at 7 p.m. at USM's Hannaford Hall.
In his book, "How Children Succeed: Grit, curiosity and the hidden power of character," Tough argues for a new understanding of the way children learn, saying that characteristics such as perseverance – "grit" as he calls it – and curiosity should be developed alongside an understanding of mathematics and other traditional subjects.
During the research for his book, Tough studied the way students from all socioeconomic backgrounds learn; from low income students at Intermediate School 318 in Brooklyn, N.Y., to Riverdale Country School, an exclusive private school in Bronx, N.Y.
He found that when character traits are developed both at home and in the classroom, students from lower socioeconomic backgrounds tend to succeed better than if these traits were not cultivated at all.
The ideas in Tough's book may seem like a distant problem, but Casco Bay High School, King Middle School and East End Elementary School have either shifted or begun a shift toward character learning.
David Galin, chief academics officer for the Portland Public Schools, said that with the lower socioeconomic status of many students in Portland, Tough's concepts are key in developing tenacious learners who will have success in future education.
"Certain schools are really going deep with this," Galin said. "We have individual schools who have developed plans for student support and student learning that include a lot of work on our students' character."
Casco Bay High School, for example, adopted the idea of character learning before Tough's book came out, but Derek Pierce, school principal, said the school identifies with a lot of what Tough says in his book.
"We very much agree with his approach and about the importance of recognizing skills or dispositions that kids have, perseverance and grit, as being crucial to kids' success and something that can be taught and cultivated," Pierce said.
At Casco Bay High School students are expected to work ethically, be accountable for their actions and persevere through challenges presented to them, he said.
Pierce said that all students at Casco Bay High School receive traditional grades, but they also receive a grade for "Habits of Work," which is built around concepts like being accountable, persevering and achieving personal bests. The school has both a traditional honor roll and a "Habits of Work" honor roll.
Any student can be on the "Habits of Work" honor roll, and it is more difficult to get onto the traditional honor roll, but Pierce said there is definitely a correlation between the two.
"We really started a re-emphasis of 'Habits of Work' in a bunch of different way last year and we had an increase of about 15 to 20 percent in our academic honor rolls, so we have seen kids achievements improve," he said.
He said that in addition to the increase in the number of students on the honor roll, school culture has been strengthened through the idea of getting smart to do good.
"Related to Tough's research is a growth mindset that you are born with a fixed intelligence, but you can grow your brain with hard work and perseverance, you can literally get smarter," he said. "We try to build our school around the idea of getting smart to do good, getting smarter for a larger purpose to do good in the community."
He said that this idea has lead to fewer discipline problems and students treating each other better – supporting each other in projects and in life.
Heather Davis, executive director of The Telling Room, a creative writing center for children ages 6 to 18 on Commercial Street, said that she sees a similar attitude among students who take advantage of the programs offered by the creative writing center.
"What we found when we evaluate our programs is that not only did student's writing improve but their social and emotional well being improved," she said. "Character is a crucial component for student success academically and emotionally and everything we do is trying to support student success in school and as they grow up."
Davis said that at the beginning and end of a Telling Room program students are asked to do an evaluation that focuses heavily on self-confidence and what they find is that when students end a session at the Telling Room they feel more empowered.
"We hear from students over and over that they didn't know they could do what they have done at the Telling Room," she said. "They become published writers, do a tour and present their work to people from other backgrounds and get to know their voice. They are treated like really professional authors and it gives them a huge boost that a lot of our studenst haven't gotten anywhere else."
Tough's presentation in Portland is sold out, but Davis said Maine Public Broadcasting Network will be there and it will be rebroadcast and available on The Telling Room's website.

How Long Will Ativan Remain In Your System. How Long Will It Show Up In A Urine Drug Screen
Asked by ema
How Long Will Ativan Remain In Your System. How Long Will It Show Up In A Urine Drug Screen
Hi Ema:
Ativan (brand name for lorazepam) is excreted from the body in the urine and the feces (stools). According to the first website below, 95% of the drug is excreted within 120 hours, or five days, mainly in the urine (88%), so it should still be detectable in the urine after 5 days.
Lorazepam is a type of benzodiazepine. According to the second website below the detection period in the urine for benzodiazapines in general is 3 - 7 days.
Hope this helps,
Dr. Diana Walcutt

Thoughts from a First-Time Conference-Goer
Jodee Reid
Packing up for four days in Florida is no easy feat with a parenteral nutrition–dependent child. The only consolation was that we were heading to the Oley conference and, if we forgot essential medical supplies, someone else was bound to have what we needed.
From New Zealand to Florida
Matisse had been born with chronic idiopathic intestinal pseudo obstruction and her only chance of survival was to be put on 24/7 parenteral nutrition (PN). We lived in New Zealand, a country of just four million people and very few on home PN, and were very isolated. I, of course, found Oley on the Web. I was envious of those who could meet to discuss and share experiences in person! It was a dream of mine to attend an Oley conference.
About four years ago my husband and I made the difficult decision to come to the United States so Matisse could be put on a waiting list for a small bowel transplant. So here we were in Pittsburgh, waiting for organs and just a short flight from Florida, the location of the 2009 Oley Consumer/Clinician Conference.
Not sure that I was really willing to make the trip on my own with my chronically ill child, I applied to Oley for a first-time conference-goer travel scholarship. I didn't really expect to win. A few weeks later I received a phone call from Cathy Harrington in the Oley offices, telling me that we had won a scholarship—wow! No more excuses!
Warm Welcome
When Lesley, a Florida native and regular Oley conference-goer, heard that we would be attending the conference, she offered to collect Matisse and me from the airport. This was wonderful. I did not have to worry about trying to lug PN, supplies, and luggage into a taxi—plus Lesley has a daughter a little older than Matisse and they immediately became great friends. This is what the conference is about.
Matisse was so excited that she would finally meet others like her, she could hardly contain herself. Being a child on PN is very isolating, and she is now at an age where she realizes she is a little different.
PN Down Under
On arrival we checked into the Trade Winds Island Resort in St. Petersburg, dumped our bags, put the PN and medication in the fridge, and headed to our first meeting. It was for Oley Ambassadors. I attended on behalf of Brenda Dunn and Parenteral Nutrition Down Under (PNDU), representing New Zealand and Australia.
Matisse and I were a little late and quietly entered the room, trying to remain anonymous; after all, I was not entirely sure we belonged here as New Zealand and Australia were unofficial territories for me. I whispered to Joan Bishop, Oley Foundation Executive Director, that I was Jodee from New Zealand. Joan loudly announced, "And this is who I was telling you about!" Everyone in the group turned and welcomed Matisse and me. It turned out that Joan had just been telling the attendees about a small group down under (PNDU) who wanted to join Oley as an international alliance. We were warmly welcomed, and from that moment on I realized we were among friends.
Minority Are Majority
Those of us without tubes, lines, and bags were the minority at the conference, and this was great for Matisse. For me the friendships formed with other parents and the information shared by adult PNers was priceless.
I cannot believe I had debated with myself about attending the conference. I am a seasoned HPN mom now, with nine years under my belt; I am pretty confident with all things IV and was not sure there would be much at the conference that would interest me. Boy was I wrong! Although we don't often feel it, the world of parenteral and enteral nutrition is changing; new information is regularly coming to light and the Oley Foundation keeps up with these changes. The conference offers great speakers and round table events to address current issues and practices.
Matisse spent much of each day having a blast in childcare provided by Oley volunteers, which allowed me to attend these speaking events. At night we partied, with the silent auction being a highlight, as well as the Beach Party. There was never a dull moment. We came home exhausted, but totally fulfilled with knowledge and friendship.
Ready to Go Again
I realize that for many, attending an Oley Conference is out of the question. However, if you are putting it off because you think it is just too hard, think again. I have already booked for this year. Matisse has been looking forward to the conference since she arrived home last year. We cannot wait!
