The blog Elusive Moose does an admirable job of providing a steady stream of news and color from the self-imposed confines of Norway's Østfold County. Sometimes it is worth remembering that even a very local view can produce a good yarn, and that even if you seem be blogging about moose, you don't have to. Take where I live for example – Asker.
Even 'suburb' sounds too urban. Even though it is just 20 minutes drive from Oslo, little Asker has more of a village feel to it, and this Saturday my newly turned 11-year-old son and I were relaxing outside a bakery café after the weekend shopping, the kind of posh, modern version of making the trek to the general store. It was 4 in the afternoon, and the café was shutting down, because the weekend hubbub of village life was winding down as well.
A young man in a T-shirt walked past us towards the door of the café, smiling slightly, and I was struck by his remarkable resemblance to Crown Prince Haakon Magnus. When a woman emerged from a dark van and walked the same way, I confess to staring wide-eyed, because she looked exactly like Crown Princess Mette-Marit, so this could be no coincidence. She gave us a friendly hello to defuse my startled look, and followed her husband inside the bakery.
I told my oblivious son what had just happened, and he took it calmly. After all, Asker schoolchildren march past the royal residence in Skaugum on Constitution Day every May 17th, and greet the crown couple before the day's business (regal waving with the whole royal family from the palace balcony in Oslo). He sensibly observed that they were probably nipping in for their baked goods at closing time to minimize their exposure to the masses. What amused us was that they departed almost immediately – empty-handed!
There is something quintessentially Norwegian about the royal couple being sent to the door because they arrived a few minutes after closing time, and on a weekend no less. You don't have to be a republican to put the rights of the working stiff ahead of a royal whim for pastries.
Poor Håkon Magnus is regularly jabbed in the press for his poor or absent boating safety habits after chronic mishaps, and when I returned home I found out that this trip to the bakery must have been motivated by a desire to relax with a treat after another hard day in the public focus.
The royal couple had decided, under quite some criticism from local farmers, to give up dairy activities on their farm, and either sell or slaughter their stock – a decision that was called a poor advertisement for both agriculture and the royal family.
This Saturday in fact, had been auction day, and Aftenposten reported, with an angle typical of the easy-going relationship with the monarchy here, that farmer Torstein Alm, who had won one of the cows on offer, had already decided its impending calf will be called either Mette or Mette-Marit.
And so, a day in the life of the Norwegian royal family. No sign of fussy bodyguards, no special treatment in shops, and dubious honors related by a sardonic press. Still, I bet it will be good to be king.

Exhibition Appears At 3 Females Who Revolutionized The Fashion Magazine
Women's fashions of 1914-1920 had been heavily influenced by Globe War I (the Excellent War) as properly as the women's suffrage movement. Students who had been competing during the initial half, became colleagues in the second half – all functioning on the same magazine brand. Style news is the main component of the fashion market, mainly about the UK and US celebrities and stars and their altering designs. This is common in the style business as new designers try to generate their powerful platform with the remarkable and retail division of garments and styles. Cosmopolitan magazine will bring you the newest buzz about the entertainment business with present trends and what other folks are following.
Do not ask me how many magazines I bought for him, at that time he was popular simply because he released his second photobook. In Japan, most students are necessary to put on uniforms till they go to college, so these magazines aid university students understand how to place with each other outfits for class and other activities related with young adult lifestyles. Get the most current style news and trends with the stunning style magazine—look.
Many folks ask if you need to earn your earnings per project or per hour when you acquire writing consumers or jobs. Kroller and Petronio subsequently launched Self Service magazine from this base as their platform for experimentation with magazine protocol stage-managing the photography, styling, writing, graphics. It is a giant mook" (magazine + book) released on a quarterly basis (four times a year). Marie Claire is at quantity five in our top ten very best international way of life and style magazines. GOUD magazine (Gold magazine) was a bilingual magazine aimed at young creatives, offering them with an edifying articles, inspiration and a possible platform to network.
Her team also sends very accurate list of individuals who must sit out of Anna's angle of sight, mainly from competitive magazines, and folks, who shouln't see the popular editor from their seats. She doesn't allow any paid ads of fighters against fur goods in her magazines. By exploring one piece of clothes in a witty fashion we are generating the ordinary extraordinary.
Tapestry magazine is a item that approaches and explores the subject of contemporary sexuality. In truth, the norm is to approach the magazine straight and ask for an interview, application or job. Identity, careers, enjoy and style are some of the problems you can count on to read about in the 1st two concerns as nicely as interviews from a couple of well recognized names also. She started modeling at age 14 and was featured in magazines like Harper's Bazaar and in national campaigns for brands like Clairol.

THE GHOST CLUB: NEWLY FOUND TALES OF VICTORIAN TERROR by William Meikle
The Ghost Club: an informal gathering of the literary icons of the Victorian Age. The price of admission...a dark tale told by each member.
William Meikle has not only offered up 14 lost tales by this illustrious group, he has done something that raises him to a "Victorian Voice" in his own right, and surely an honorary member welcome to his place with them. No author has the talent to give voice to the dearly departed quite like Mr.Meikle. The man has a full blown author seance in his head. He even gave me pause with authors I consider myself wholly familiar with.
THE GHOST CLUB more than earns it's place next to the classics on any horror purist's book shelf, William Meikle has earned a place with the authors of those classics.
A magnificent collection of dark delights.
Highest possible recommendation.
Many thanks to the fine folks at Crystal Lake Publishing for the chance to read and review the e-arc. You've all outdone yourselves.

Need to refresh your knowledge of great abolitionist Frederick Douglass? Want to introduce his life and accomplishments to a young reader? Looking for books about Douglass to round out your Black History Month or social justice reading recommendations?
The following children's and teen books, all recommended by The Horn Book Magazine and Guide at the time of their publication, offer a good entry point into Douglass's invaluable legacy. Reviews are reprinted from The Horn Book Guide Online. Grade levels are only suggestions; the individual child is the real criterion.
Armand, Glenda Love Twelve Miles Long
32 pp. Lee 2011
Trade ISBN 978-1-60060-245-0
Illustrated by Colin Bootman. This poignant story, based on Frederick Douglass's childhood, tells how his mother, a slave, would walk twelve miles at night for a brief visit with her son. Soothing text describes how she overcomes the monotony and loneliness through songs (joyful and sad), the solace of prayer, and love. Emotional paintings capture moods, especially the joy of reunion that wipes away weariness.
Cline-Ransome, Lesa Words Set Me Free: The Story of Young Frederick Douglass
32 pp. Simon/Wiseman 2012
Trade ISBN 978-1-4169-5903-8
Illustrated by James E. Ransome. Vibrant acrylic and oil paint illustrations accompany this story of Frederick Douglass's childhood from plantation life to city life in Baltimore, where his owner's kind wife taught him the alphabet and introduced him to literacy and the idea of freedom. The powerful narrative provides a solid introduction to Douglass and the topic of slavery.
Girard, Linda Walvoord and Bootman, Colin Young Frederick Douglass: The Slave Who Learned to Read
40 pp. Whitman 1994
Paperback ISBN 0-8075-9463-6
Drawing much of its information from Frederick Douglass's autobiography, the book focuses on his desire to read and the impact that reading had on his future as an orator and abolitionist. Colorful paintings convey his spirit in the lucid adaptation of his life.
Miller, William and Lucas, Cedric Frederick Douglass: The Last Day of Slavery
32 pp. Lee 1995
Trade ISBN 1-880000-17-2
Simple prose and artwork in deep, muted tones depict the harsh experiences that finally prompted young Frederick Douglass to rebel against a certain cruel slave-breaker. The picture-book account is a powerful introduction to slavery and to this notable speaker and writer of the antislavery movement. A brief author's note gives further information about Douglass.
Rappaport, Doreen Frederick's Journey: The Life of Frederick Douglass
48 pp. Disney/Jump 2015
Trade ISBN 978-1-4231-1438-3
Illustrated by London Ladd. There are many longer books that detail the events of Douglass's life, but this one, in picture-book form, manages to synthesize those details just as well as a longer work might. This is due to Rappaport's carefully chosen primary source quotations and Ladd's paintings, which alternate between moments of violence and times of reflection — all resulting in a portrait that is fiery yet dignified. Author's and illustrator's notes are appended. Reading list, timeline, websites. Bib.
Robbins, Dean Two Friends: Susan B. Anthony and Frederick Douglass
32 pp. Scholastic/Orchard 2016
Illustrated by Sean Qualls. Sitting down to tea, real-life friends Anthony and Douglass discuss their ideas and plans for action. An accessible text gives a broad picture of each civil rights leader's work; striking mixed-media and collage illustrations depict scenes from their lives. Though they fought separately for freedom and voting rights, the book captures the unifying themes of combating injustice. An informative author's note is included. Bib.
Adler, David A. Frederick Douglass: A Noble Life
144 pp. Holiday 2010
Trade ISBN 978-0-8234-2056-8
This well-researched volume recounts, in fluid prose, the life of Frederick Douglass, from tortured slave (finally escaping in 1838), to world renowned orator, statesman, and heroic leader of the abolitionist movement. Throughout the text, Adler incorporates Douglass's own words, reinforcing the message of freedom and education for today's readers. Many photographs, sketches, historical documents, and newspaper clippings illustrate the volume. Timeline. Bib., ind.
Freedman, Russell Abraham Lincoln and Frederick Douglass: The Story Behind an American Friendship
119 pp. Clarion 2012
Despite meeting only three times, Lincoln and Douglass formed a lasting friendship based on mutual admiration, respect, and trust. Through this friendship — an extremely effective structure — Freedman surveys the tenor of the times regarding slavery, abolition, the Civil War, and emancipation. Included are period illustrations and a generous assortment of the subjects' own words. Notes. Bib., ind.
McCurdy, Michael Escape from Slavery: The Boyhood of Frederick Douglass in His Own Words
64 pp. Knopf 1994
Trade ISBN 0-679-84652-2
Paperback ISBN 0-679-84651-4
Foreword by Coretta Scott King. The spirit of Frederick Douglass's narrative remains unbroken in this choice selection of words written by the famed former slave and abolitionist about his boyhood in Maryland. McCurdy's clear, brief summaries substitute for missing sections, and ten stunning black-and-white scratchboard illustrations show the indignation and suffering of Douglass.
Burchard, Peter Frederick Douglass: For the Great Family of Man
228 pp. Atheneum 2003
Trade ISBN 0-689-83240-0
This thoroughly researched biography covers Douglass's childhood and young adult years in slavery and his escape from Maryland to Massachusetts.

Photographs, prints, and endnotes augment the well-crafted narrative. Bib., ind.
Meltzer, Milton and Alcorn, Stephen Frederick Douglass: In His Own Words
222 pp. Harcourt 1995
Trade ISBN 0-15-229492-9
Meltzer makes Douglass's writings and speeches accessible to a wide audience in this remarkable work.

The best place for newborn kittens is with their mother, if at all possible.
Check to see if the kittens are still warm. If so, their mother may have gone to find food or hide from you. Call 503-480-SPAY and arrange to borrow a trap to catch their mother. Keep the kittens with their mother and bring them all to the clinic. The kittens will be kept with their mother in a foster home until they are all old enough to be spayed and neutered.
If the kittens aren't warm, their mother may have abandoned them. Heat up a water bottle, wrap it in a towel and put it in a box with the kittens. Call the shelter at 503-585-5900 and dial 0 and arrange to bring them in as soon as possible. If you can't come immediately, obtain Kitten Meal Replacer (KMR) from a pet supply store or the shelter and follow the directions to feed the kittens.
How do you tell if a litter of kittens has been abandoned, or if their mother is finding food or hiding nearby?
What should you do to help the kittens survive if they ARE in fact abandoned?
These are important questions to ask!

POSTED BY Coley Ward ON 8:47 am, October 26, 2006 - POSTED IN News reel
[youtube nguJQ_dRPXw nolink]
On November 7th, Missourians will vote on a constitutional initiative that would, in effect, allow Missouri researchers to conduct any stem cell research that is permitted under federal law. The above video is a response to an add that ran during game three of the World Series, supporting Amendment 2, and it features Cardinals pitcher Jeff Suppan, as well as "Everybody Loves Raymond" star Patricia Heaton and Passion of the Christ star Jim Caviezel (who once gave me a man-hug for getting him coffee).
The media has been all over this one.
To listen to a podcast of two "experts" debating the merits of Amendment 2, click here.
To read the New York Times' take on the ad supporting Amendment 2, starring a very animated and Parkinsons riddled Michael J. Fox, click here.
A column in yesterday's Boston Globe talked with Cardinals manager Tony LaRussa about the Cardinals' policy regarding political activism. LaRussa said he encourages it:
Cardinals manager Tony LaRussa was asked yesterday if he had a policy or preference regarding players who get involved in political or social causes. La Russa, of course, is a passionate animal rights advocate. "Our policy is you recognize each person as the professional side and personal side, and you respect both sides of them," he said. "Actually, our organization encourages guys to get involved in something beyond just baseball. Whether you agree with the choice or whatever, I just like the fact that guys make a commitment and they get involved."
I'm not sure I 100 percent believe LaRussa. Sounds like damage control to me. What if Suppan was speaking out against inter-racial marriage or homosexuality? Something tells me LaRussa wouldn't be embracing his pitcher's eagerness to participate in the political process then.
Dissing embryonic stem cell research is less controversial than dissing inter-racial marriage. But that's not to say that stem cell research is unpopular. In fact, a majority of Americans support stem cell research of some kind.
Stem cell research is is controversial because, with the present state of technology, starting a stem cell line requires the destruction of a human embryo. Opponents of the research argue that this practice is a slippery slope to reproductive cloning and tantamount to the instrumentalization of a potential human being. Contrarily, medical researchers in the field argue that it is necessary to pursue embryonic stem cell research because the resultant technologies are expected to have significant medical potential, and that the embryos used for research are only those slated for destruction anyway.
It's hard to imagine that stem cell research could lead to human cloning. At least, not anytime soon. The idea of human cloning is hugely unpopular. If you held a vote in Congress to ban human cloning, it would pass with 100 percent support. Not to mention, science is nowhere near ready to try and clone a human. Maybe what Suppan and the rest are worried about is that this law will lead to the possibility that one day humans could be cloned. But that day seems a long way off and, in the meantime, stem cell research could save a lot of lives.

All the Pretty Faces is about a woman named Josie DuKane, who managed to escape the notorious Bride Killer and penned a tell-all memoir that dug up a town's dark and secretive past. When the book is picked up to become a movie, Josie must visit the very place where it all happened - Graveyard Falls. After just arriving in Graveyard Falls, Josie receives a gruesome and disturbing photograph of a dead woman with talon marked carved into her face.
Special Agent Dance Hamrick has been on a manhunt to find the killer that brutally murdered his sister. Realizing that the victims in Graveyard Falls bears an uncanny resemblance to her death, he volunteers to lead the investigation no matter if it means teaming up with Josie.
As the body count begins to rise, Josie and Dane must put their feelings aside their attraction to find the killer who destroyed their lives. A killer that is determined to destroy all the pretty faces...
Wow! That is all I can really say... Before I divulge into the review, I have to say that I have not read the first book in the Graveyard Falls series but it did not stop me from enjoying the novel, and to be frank it did not leave me feeling confused or lost at all. With that being said I would still recommend you read book one, All the Beautiful Brides, before reading book two, All the Pretty Faces. Ok, since that is all cleared let's jump in.
All the Pretty Faces was a rollercoaster that left me breathless, sitting on the edge of my seat, jumpy, and seriously start to freak out when any random stranger would look at me. I seriously enjoyed reading Josie and Dane's story, that I will definitely be picking up book one. The novel was both realistic and at times mysterious, especially when it removed around Josie and how she overcame what happened to her (i.e. being abducted by the killer that had her sister). The novel didn't feel rushed, the characters felt real - trust issues, jumpy, anxiety, ext. - and raw, and the buildup between both Josie and Dane was amazing.
I really enjoyed reading this novel and would definitely recommend All the Pretty Faces to any and everyone that enjoys reading suspenseful, mysterious, romantic, realistic novels. If you do decide to pick this novel up be sure to read book one, All the Beautiful Brides, first.
Summary from Goodreads:
Josie DuKane is on shaky ground. Having narrowly escaped the notorious Bride Killer, she penned a tell-all memoir that dug up a town's dark past. Now the book is being made into a movie, and Josie must visit the very place that will trigger an avalanche of unwanted memories—Graveyard Falls. On the heels of her arrival, she receives a gruesome photograph of a dead woman with talon marks carved into her face. And worse, Josie just might be the next victim.
Torn between guilt, justice, and revenge, Special Agent Dane Hamrick will do anything to find the man who brutally murdered his sister. When he realizes the recent tragedies in Graveyard Falls bear an uncanny resemblance to her death, he volunteers to spearhead the investigation. But doing so means teaming up with Josie.
Nothing prepares him for the feelings the beautiful, tough woman evokes. As the body count rises and the suspect pool widens, Josie and Dane must put aside their growing attraction to run down the killer who devastated both their lives.
A killer who seems determined to destroy all the pretty faces.…

Gasper Kopitar, Anze's younger brother, had a challenging start to the 2013-14 season. After an encouraging beginning to his professional career with Mora IK in Sweden's HockeyAllsvenskan a season ago, points and quality opportunities weren't finding him when the team reconvened in September. After returning to Los Angeles for his next opportunity with an eye on playing in Europe, the possibility of playing for the ECHL's Ontario Reign began to take shape. Though he wasn't selected to represent Slovenia at the 2014 Winter Olympics, he's had a fine start with the Kings' ECHL affiliate and scored a key goal with his family in attendance last weekend.
Learn more about it in Loosened Reign, my LAKings.com feature from this past week.

Healthy blood pressure, the prevention of asthma, digestive support and protection against damage from free radicals are potential health benefits of watermelon juice, according to Medical News Today. Watermelon juice is rich in electrolytes, which help keep the body hydrated and prevent heat stroke.
Watermelon is a nutrient-dense food, with vitamins C, A and B-6, choline and amino acids. Watermelon also contains antioxidants and lycopene. Two cups of watermelon contain 25 percent of the daily value of vitamin C, based on a 2,000-calorie diet.
The high amount of vitamin C and other antioxidants in watermelon juice may reduce the risk of certain cancers, including prostate cancer. Vitamin C also supports the immune system and is necessary for the body to produce collagen, which gives structure to hair and skin. Similarly, vitamin A helps the body maintain moisture in skin and hair while fostering the healthy growth of new elastic and collagen cells.
Citrulline and arginine, two amino acids present in watermelon juice, alleviate muscle soreness, improve blood flow, lower blood pressure and reduce hypertension and the accumulation of excess fat, states LiveScience.com. Lycopene protects cells from damage and helps to lower the risk of heart disease. Lycopene is also an inhibitor for certain inflammatory processes, while choline, a water-soluble nutrient in the family of vitamin B, reduces chronic inflammation.

There may be problems if they're not consistently legal BODY content, such as a series of table rows without a TABLE tag. You might be able to get by by putting a comment "cut line" at the start and end of your snippet, running Tidy, and then extracting only the parts between those comments for your fragment file. The instances where your fragment's content could slip out of those section-delimiting comments are limited. Tidy could have an option added to automatically insert such markers in the document, note their positions, tidy the document as if it were complete (but suppressing errors occurring outside the markers), then only output the text between the markers.Received on Tuesday, 20 June 2000 15:24:24 UTC

After successful installation of Ubuntu 16.04 on my HP Envy x360, I confronted an issue with WiFi with status
device not ready. Researching the issue, I found it happens to be a common issue with this LTS. Moving on to fixing it, I tried numerous solutions and each of them proved futile. After the arduous attempts, I found the needle in the haystack and it was specified for the HP Envy series only. If you encounter a similar issue, follow up the steps below-
First check the results for
lsmod | grep acer
If the above command returns
Then you should blacklist the module using
echo "blacklist acer_wmi" | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
Reboot and you are done!

Tech Director wanted
Clyde River Pageant looking for a TD
The job will not require really extensive tech experience (no really complicated Lx or sound) but good people skills (there will be lots of non-professional artists and volunteers involved) and an ability to improvise and problem solve, and even some set-building experience, would all be useful.
We have budgeted a fee of $1000. There will be some work to be done part-time in early July, and then the schedule will be more full time in the 2 weeks leading up to the performances in New Glasgow on July 30 and 31. Having a car would be important. See Description below ...
River Clyde Pageant TD Job Description
The River Clyde Pageant will be a moving, processional event, starting at the Little Victory Microfarm, on the East/South bank of the river in New Glasgow, and then moving, with the audience accompanying the performers on foot, through various scenes along the riverbank toward the New Glasgow bridge, and then over the bridge and onto the lawn below the Mill Restaurant on the West/North bank, where there will be a final scene followed by a community supper. The Pageant will take place in the early evening, timed to end before sunset, so lighting needs will be minimal for the performance itself, but some lighting will be required for the outdoor community supper, which will likely extend past sunset.
Some of the scenes will involve music that will require amplification, and we also plan to have some live music during the community supper.
The various scenes of the pageant will be conceived to take advantage of, and fit into the riverbank setting, so no major set pieces or scenery will be required, but there may be some building required. We have at least one carpenter volunteer (he is also co-owner of the Little Victory Microfarm) with an onsite shop who is keen to help with any building that's required.
The TD job will involve coordinating the technical set-up for the above events. This will involve some degree of design and conception in consultation with Megan and I as project directors – so figuring out where to source/borrow/rent any sound or light equipment we need - as well as coordinating the set-up of that equipment. We have a technical budget for the Pageant, for materials and equipment rental, and part of the TD job will also be figuring out how we work within that budget.
Because we anticipate accommodating an on-foot audience of up to 150 people, part of the TD job will also be figuring out audience flow, audience parking, and traffic control in the period when we cross the New Glasgow bridge.
We will begin Pageant rehearsals and workshops in mid-June, training stilt-walkers, building puppets, and rehearsing a Pageant choir. These workshops will continue throughout July, with rehearsals becoming more intensive in the 2 weeks before the actual Pageant performances on July 30 and 31. In the first month of rehearsals, from mid-June to mid-July the TD job will be part time, involving planning and production meetings, sourcing equipment, and anticipating other technical needs. In the 2 weeks prior to performance, July 16-31, the TD job will become more fulltime, coordinating any onsite building, equipment pick-ups and installations, working with the directors and the Pageant stage manager to coordinate smooth interaction between the performers and volunteers and the technical aspects of the production.
The final part of the job will be coordinating the strike and equipment return at the end of the project.
This is the first time we will have created the Pageant, so in addition to planning and foresight, it will inevitably involve a considerable degree of improvisation and adaptation on our feet. We will be working with a large number of people, both professional and amateur, and of all ages, many of them working outside their usual areas of experience and expertise, but all of them contributing time and energy to a project which must, above all, be a good experience for everyone. So it will require patience and generosity from all of us.

"FEED ME!" - LSoH AUDITIONS
Auditions for LITTLE SHOP of HORRORS - June 10/11/12
The real star of the show is already cast ... but only partly. It's Audrey II, the plant with attitude and appetite—who grows from wilted seedling to voracious two-metre monster on a diet of oh-so-rare flesh washed down with full-bodied red. The set of plant-puppets is reposing in the Beach Street warehouse of ACT (a community theatre), patiently awaiting appearances in the dark-comic sci-fi musical Little Shop of Horrors. But Audrey II needs a puppeteer, and also a strong off-stage voice to musically utter her/his/its best line: "Feed Me!"
Apart from the pair who will make Audrey II work, there are two dozen parts to be cast for the little florist shop and its Skid Row environs. There's the human Audrey, for instance, the plant's namesake—a naive, heart-of-gold blonde in her late twenties or early thirties. She and Seymour, the nerdy young man who unwittingly raises the monster plant, sing solos and a duet which are quite moving. Audrey's early boyfriend, though, is 30- or 40-ish Orin, an outlandishly sadistic dentist; he has two great songs, and his death is a real gas (nitrous-oxide, in fact). The owner of the little shop is late-middle-aged Mr. Mushnik, who sings and dances a hilarious tango with Seymour. The mainstays throughout the show are Chiffon, Ronnette and Crystal, a youngish (16-20) version of The Supremes; beyond their high-energy dancing, they provide a sort of Motown Greek-chorus commentary.
Besides the nine principal roles, Little Shop features a variety of minor characters: media personalities and agents, winos, shoppers and other assorted street people who join in the main musical number and some dance. Altogether there will be about 25 characters in the show. They are almost all adults and teens; it is not very likely that young children would be involved.
A crowd of enthusiasts learned about plans for the musical and got a look at selections from a video at a special 'Preview Evening' which ACT hosted in the Holland College theatre-space on May 12th. Attendees pressed for audition times, but they've had to wait for a month.
Auditions are being held at the Lecture Theatre of Colonel Gray High School on June 10, 11, and 12th: Friday evening, all-day Saturday, and Sunday afternoon. That involves cold-reading from the script plus singing a prepared song (without accompaniment). Hopefuls for major parts will also be asked to take part in a dance audition and/or pitch-test the following Saturday afternoon (the 18th). To make an audition appointment, call 902-628-6778.
Cast-persons are required to be or to become ACT members, and must formally commit to rehearsals. Rehearsals begin in mid-August, and shift into higher gear through September and October. They will involve Sunday afternoons, and at least Monday and Wednesday evenings; occasional other weekday evenings and Saturday afternoons will be added progressively. However, rehearsals will be specifically targeted to particular scenes, and an actor will only need to attend the ones scheduled for him or her.
ACT's production of Little Shop of Horrors is directed by Peter Krauskopf, who staged Colonel Gray's musicals for many years. Music direction is by Rowan Fitzgerald and Owen Aylward, and Morgan Wagner is the choreographer.
There will be five performances of Little Shop of Horrors from October 27th to 30th at the 300-seat Florence Simmons Performance Hall.

ASM Opportunity
Want to work in a Little Shop of Horrors?
Little Shop of Horrors is looking for someone who is enthusiastic about working at or learning about stage management. There's an opening for a second Assistant Stage Manager to work with SM Sharon MacDonald and ASM Alex Cairns. Having a team of three means that the work won't be too onerous.
It will mean being involved in rehearsals, which start in mid-August and run through September and October to performance week October 25th to 30th. For the performances, the two ASMs will each have one side of the stage to work.
It's an exciting and fun show ... and if you don't have stage-management experience but want to learn, this is a fine opportunity.
For information, get in touch with Sharon MacDonald—sheamacd @ gmail.com 902-432-2317—or Rob Thomson—robthomson @ pei.sympatico.ca 902-628-6778.
Need a bit of help
Moving some set pieces on Wednesday May 4
A bit of help needed ...
For Little Shop of Horrors, we are going to be moving some set pieces from Colonel Gray to the Beach House. It's perhaps an hour or so of work—loading & unloading.
It's this Wednesday morning, May 4th, from 10:30 am.
Give me a shout if you can pitch in, OK?

Estee Lauder calls them blemishes.
I call them spots.
Whatever label is used to describe them I think we can all agree that they are bastard cretins that rudely continue to afflict my face even though I am well over the hill in my mid-thirties.
I'm not looking for sympathy though because I have found an answer. There is a product that I rely on, without fail, to keep them at bay.
Yes, meet Estee Lauder Clear Difference Advanced Blemish Serum.
Such is its success that I have now turned my husband into a fervent user as well. We like the way it quickly absorbs, smoothes and lightly moisturises the skin to leave a matte finish but most of all we like the fact that as soon as we feel the rumblings of a spot, a quick application of this seems to suppress the "blemish" from ever materialising.
It's a little bit of magic. If magic was salicylic acid (SA) served in a pretty aqua bottle.
Yes, the core ingredient of this product is SA - no wonder then that it works and manages to fight the spots from ever appearing. And there I was thinking that it was prepared by kind skin fairies in a magical, generous lab….
No, it is in fact all down to basic science. A little bit of salicylic acid, with maybe a tiny bit of witch hazel, controls skin and provided you are not in the midst of a major outbreak, will work well to keep your face clear.
Even though I was delighted with how this worked for me I was a little disappointed to find this out. SA doesn't strike me as a particularly precious ingredient to warrant the frankly ridiculously high $82 price tag and the fact that it is in such a low dosage within this product means that its unlikely to help anyone with serious acne.
This leaves me in a tricky and somewhat contradictory position. I want you to buy it if you're a once-a-monther spot producer but anyone else need not apply. That doesn't feel very positive or inclusive does it?
Nevertheless I am a fan. Will I repurchase when I run out? I think my husband would throw a total bitch fit if I didn't so yes, I'm paying through the nose for it but if it stops those cretins from rearing their head then I guess it's worth it.
What's your tried and tested spot remedy?

Stained Glass Windows
The stained glass in Clark Memorial Church has always attracted much interest and admiration. Most of it was installed at the time of the building of the church. Mr John Clark himself gave the great East and West windows, and also the transept gallery windows, the latter in memory of his mother and father. The tall lancet windows in the north and south walls were mostly gifted by members and friends of the Clark family. All the windows were manufactured in Glasgow at the height of the Arts and Crafts Movement. This was a movement which heralded a revival of the concept of the artist-craftsman, and a general resurgence in the quality of all types of art and design work. Glasgow was at the centre of this arts renaissance. The Clark Memorial windows constitute perhaps the finest complete, in situ collection of Glasgow stained glass anywhere, and are cited by authorities on the subject as the best of their type.
The East or Chancel window is the work of William Meikle & Sons, Glasgow. The topmost light depicts Christ on the cross, with two angels proffering the cup of suffering. Beneath is the scene from John 11:28 with the inscription, "The Master is come and calleth for thee". The lowest lights depict the calling of the Apostles, with the calling of Saul (Paul) at the centre. The West or Preacher's window is of a more avant-garde design than the other windows. Its theme is Christ and the children, and it is the work of Stephen Adam & Son, Glasgow. Christ is seated centrally on the throne, surrounded by disciples, children with their mothers, shepherd boys and lambs. Several texts relevant to the theme are depicted, the key inscription being, "Suffer little children to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven".(Matt. 19:14)
On the south wall, the window above the door to the hall corridor shows the aged Paul on the left and Dorcas on the right. The texts are from II Tim. 4:7 and Acts 9:36. It is thought to be the work of Meikle & Sons. The next four windows on the south wall were all commissioned by Messrs J. & W. Guthrie of Glasgow from the English artist Christopher Whall. Moving from left to right, the first depicts two scenes from the Noah story; the animals filing into the ark, and after the flood the thanksgiving and sacrifice of Noah (Genesis 6:8). The second is the vision of Samuel in the Temple (I Samuel 3), the third Abraham's offering of his son Isaac in sacrifice (Genesis 22), and adjacent to the gallery is depicted the Parable of the Good Samaritan. The lower section of this window shows the robbery, and the upper section the Samaritan in attendance, the priest and the Levite disappearing down the road. The story is found in Luke 10 but the text is taken from I Cor. 13:13.
Opposite on the north wall the three lancet windows are like the West window being the work of Stephen Adam Snr. From left to right the subjects are David playing before Saul (l Sam. 18:10) Ruth and Boaz in the field of reapers (Ruth 2), and Jesus visiting the home of Martha and Mary (Luke 10:38) where Mary can be seen sitting at our Lord's feet while Martha is coming from the house. The two windows in the transept gallery depict Cornelius the Centurion with a quote from Acts 10:4, and the good and virtuous woman from the final chapter of Proverbs. These are also from the Stephen Adam studio, the very deep shades reflecting the style of Adam at his most mature. The three small windows in the transept beneath were installed in1907 by the Rev. James W. Gardner in memory of his mother, sister and aunt.

Obama Student Loan Program and Communist Free Education

A word of caution is warranted here. The student loan program could easily become a vehicle for youth enslavement by the US Government.
The share price of large-scale student loan originators like Sallie Mae, Citigroup, JP Morgan Chase and Bank of America would be undercut. Obama wants to move most student lending into the
direct-loan program
of the U.S. Education Department.
What happens if a student drops out of school or loses his job before paying off the student loan? Federal backed loans presently allow for some form of "Federal Loan Forgiveness".
To qualify for forgiveness there are some very stringent requirements, such as perform volunteer work, perform military service, teach or practice medicine in certain types of communities and/or meet other criteria specified by the forgiveness program such as working in the fields of public safety, law enforcement, early childhood education, public health, public education, public library or school library services, emergency management and the list goes on and on.
The new program run by the U.S. Education Department makes it easier for young people to enroll in higher education schools. However, it comes with heavy string attached. For one thing, U.S. Education Department is not a financial institution, nor is it a law enforcer. The law enforcer will become the IRS. The financial burden will be placed on treasury and its financial institutions. The U.S. Education Department will not be accountable for any of their decisions on how to award the scholarships.
U.S. Education Department will become a totalitarian institution beholden to its own policies and the people running the department. It resembles the Communist Ministry of Higher Education and this is the topic of this article.
Free education - Communist style
Some social background is required here. The communist system, by design, provided 100% employment for all fit to work. For the naive outsider this looked very noble and sure enough, many people benefited from it, not having to worry about providing for themselves and their families.
Since there was no private business anymore, if someone was unemployed, the only way to survive was by stealing from the government owned institutions. It was that simple. At least that was what the government feared and rightly so. Even so, theft of construction materials and just about anything not available through retail, would be smuggled out of factories or other institutions and sold on the black market. The gasoline for trucks, also owned by the government, had the gasoline dyed red. The truck drivers routinely would sell gasoline to private motorists, especially to motorcycle drivers. The government had to set up police check points on all main roads exiting towns and cities just to check for stolen gasoline, as well as to monitor the individual move of people.
The educational system was very strict. It was practically impossible to pass the examination without a good knowledge of the test subject.
High school was mandatory. Students were allowed to repeat a failing class just once. Students who failed to get a high school diploma were assigned to a trade technical school. The school was run like a boot camp. No disruption allowed and physical punishment was routine. By the time we were in high school, nobody dared to disrupt; they knew better. Even so, some teachers would smack you if you didn't do your homework or lacked the knowledge during the class test. Sick leave had to be approved by the on-site school doctor or nurse.
Upon graduating high school, we had two options: 1. Qualify and get admitted at a university or 2. Get drafted in the army which was mandatory (two years.)
High level education was only available as masters degree (5 years). There was no equivalent of a college. The equivalent of four year college was considered a trade school and didn't carry credits valid towards higher level school. In order to get a masters degree, you have to start from zero, regardless of how many years of trade school you accumulated.
One problem with this educational system was the very limited number of openings available each year. It was not uncommon to see 30,000 candidates competing for 300 seats at the medical school. The polytechnic engineering school were I applied there were 300 positions and 15,000 applicants. The admission process was very simple: Five days of written and oral tests. The admission faculty did not take into account the high school grades and its reputation. All high school curriculums were identical across the country.
All technical universities in the country had the admission exam held exactly in the same days and at the same time. All subjects and questions were secret, delivered by individuals from the ministry of education minutes before the examination started. None of the examining professors were privy to the test in advance. Each test consisted of a four hour written, followed by an oral on a different set of subjects.
The 300 finalists (accepted) were the ones with the top average grade based on more than 30 grades accumulated during the admission exam. None of the tests had multiple choice answers. After the first year, 100 students of my class either dropped out or had to take all subjects over again, even if they failed just one class. Only 150 graduated with a masters degree in electrical / electronics degree after 5 years. The grading in those days was 1 to 10 with 6 the lowest passing grade. The 300 accepted averaged between 8.66 and 9.88 points.
You might wonder why I am getting into these details.
The point I am trying to make here is that this huge competition was due mostly to destruction of all private businesses that did not require talent of this caliber to stay in business. What happened with all the other 15,000 minus 300? They were drafted in the army for two years. After those two years, they would be back and try again either at the same school or a different one where was easier to get admitted. Otherwise, they would end up laborers working for the state owned factories living in misery.
Graduation and job assignment - The process
Upon graduation an average number using all the grades including the thesis was compiled and presented to a hiring committee. The committee consisted of representatives from different ministries who had job openings as defined by the national planning ministry. We were given the list of all openings, 150 jobs exactly as many as we were and invited to step up in front of this committee one at a time in the order of our grades with the highest grade first, to pick up the desired job until the list was exhausted.
Did we have the choice to decline any of the listed jobs? No, it was already established by the government the place where you were going to work for a minimum of five years. This was the free education guaranteeing you a job.
Unless you were connected, and many of my colleges were and so was I. We all took our assignments, reported to work to the assigned place and within one week we worked out a transfer to our desired place which was not even listed by the employment committee. We had to get ministry approval and we did.
Not everyone was that fortunate. At least we were engineers and most of the factories employing engineers were located in relatively large cities with a theater and some social activities available.
Doctors and teachers were the most unfortunate. They were assigned to small remote villages and had to stay there for five years. It was practically impossible to transfer even if they found a company willing to hire them. Remember ID national cards? That is how the government kept track of who and where these people were and made sure they stayed there.
Stalin used this strategy quite successfully. In 1968, while working for the Romanian Airline, I spent two months in Tashkent, Uzbekistan when it was part of the Soviet Union. This was a large maintenance facility for the Soviet made passenger aircrafts. The engineering support department consisted of 35 engineers and technicians, all of them Russian; not even one Uzbek or any non-Russian.

One of their health tests posed the following question: "There is a muscle that pushes up and down under the lungs to get air in and out of the lungs. What is it called?" Of the multiple choice responses provided, Jack chose "biceps". I should maybe have a discussion with him about his answer for that one. That's a tricky one, Jack. Mommy pushes her biceps up under her lungs, but mostly because she's just trying to make her breasts look bigger. In all other instances, then the answer is likely the diaphragm. Chin up, little buddy. That was an honest mistake. If you lived with normal parents, you would have aced that one.
For your viewing pleasure, you can check out my blog post here, where I've posted a video clip of Jack teaching me the body parts. There are (so very) many things wrong with this video, including (but not limited to) the following:
- That my six year old son knows more than me.
- That he wanted to embed a lesson on compound words into his body parts lecture. Too much, too soon.
- That he firmly believes the uterus is an extension of the throat, male or female. A few months ago he lost a tooth. He told us that it swirled around and around in his mouth, and that he almost swallowed it. "It just about fell into my uterus." he gravely informed us. Apparently this is something that he's learned from school. Granted, the word esophagus is a tricky one. Clearly it's much harder to remember than the word uterus. Cue premature discussion on difference between uterus and esophagus, as a preventative measure so he can avoid perennial beatings from kids at school.
What's the most useful lesson that you ever learned in school? When I asked the question here, the responses ranged across the board, and I could relate to almost every one of them. It reminds me of how similar we all are in our struggles, insecurities and past experiences, and of all the good out there in the world – people just wanting to do well, feel accepted and be loved for who there are. One reader shared, "It doesn't matter how smart you are, it's how you treat the people around you." Amen to that. I learned very early on never to use intelligence as a weapon to make yourself feel bigger or better than somebody else. (Where I came from, pretending not to be smart was the most effective way of avoiding a serious beating from the other kids at recess. That, or being force fed their boogers.) As I get older, I'm extremely aware that how I treat people is the one thing I will always remember, good or bad. Being kind is something you will never regret. Being a complete fuckwit and hurting someone's feelings is something you will never forget. Your choice.
In my opinion, being kind should be a non-negotiable in school systems and homes across the country. If our children are raised with kindness and acceptance for who they are, they in turn will become pillars of the earth, for their strength will always bear the weight
(of the fuckwits).
Here forthwith, are your responses to the most useful lesson you ever learned in school.If you're referring to what happens within four walls and at a desk, then probably it's that I am far more capable that I believe I am. Effort means everything and I half-assed my way through school. Now, if you're being existential where all of life is a school, then it would be in 1994 – a friend I met on my travels told me to stop worrying so much about everything. He said "So what if you happen to miss a train or a bus? There will always be another one along in a few minutes." That just helped me look at my travels from a whole new perspective, where I could just go and be a traveller, relax and enjoy the adventure of it all. I try and apply that same principle to all aspects of my life.
I hated the actual academic part of school! But I loved the socializing part. Not sure what the most useful lesson was. I'd have to think on that.
Boys are stupid.
If you don't ask, you don't get. Don't be afraid to ask for something.
Your school years do not define who you are.
The opportunity cost equation in Economics 101!
Long division! You look pretty smart without a calculator.
People do not always remember what you say, but they will always remember how you made them feel.
My love of reading.
The most useful lesson I learned is that people usually lie because they are afraid of something.
Treat others as you would like to be treated.
Things happen for a reason. Ideas come from somewhere.
It's not about which kid is necessarily the smartest – it's about which kid works the hardest to reach their goals.
I honestly can't think of one from school, but my Dad always taught me to work hard at everything I do. I believe that one's really important.
You have no idea what goes on behind closed doors.
Include everyone. No bullying. Period. Everyone has feelings and can easily be hurt. It is ALL RIGHT to be different. People are ALL different…religions, body shapes, intelligence, the way we see things…and thank God for all the differences. That is what makes life so interesting. Be OK with the differences.
The most clinical answer is typing – super useful. And the other side of this…I learned the value of going to a very small school in a tight knit community. It's a blessing, and in some ways, a burden. But I'll tell you – there's nothing like a small school community to make a kid feel safe, supported and encouraged when they need it. Our boys are growing up in the same school system that I went through and I feel so lucky that this is where they're getting their academic start.
The most useful lesson I learned in school? TAKE NOTES!
Keep your folder on the shelf. Translation: keep your shit organized.
Stick to your strengths – a good dose of realism can be a good thing.
It's never too early to show leadership skills. Don't be afraid of your strengths, but use them wisely.
Don't cheat and have respect for one another.
Never assume, because you will make an ass out of you and me.
The most useful lesson I learned is that the principal's door wasn't sound proof.
It's nice to be important, but more important to be nice.
Economics. Markets work as they should as mankind is insatiable and government intervention predominantly does not produce the desired effect.
Be kind to others. I don't recall this level of bullying back when I was in school 40 years ago.
Care. If people care about what they are doing, it will be done right. From treating people properly to doing a good job on whatever you're spending your time on. Same lesson in university as it was in elementary school.
I learned that everyone is insecure. We just cope differently.
That's a tough one! I remember getting picked to be valedictorian (humble, I know…) and thinking – why are they picking someone so average? I did not get the highest marks, nor was I the most talented in sports nor was I the most charismatic or popular. I was average. I was shocked. But then I started thinking that maybe somewhere it does pay off to work hard and be average at a lot of things. Maybe it is about balance. Maybe that does count! Maybe working hard and being involved does matter, even if you aren't the star that stands out. (or maybe someone pissed off the Principal, and I hadn't! LOL) either way, I was thrilled. I don't want my kids to be mediocre – but well rounded- yes, I am good with that!
Be kind to others, because you never know how you will impact their life. You also never know who will become your boss one day…awkward.
I had a teacher in high school who had a huge impact on my life. She taught me that life is never perfect and I shouldn't ever pretend it is. Just live, love, laugh, dream and don't sweat the small stuff. And always, always be true to yourself.
The most valuable thing I would say I learned from school was that presentation, or approach, is key.
Do not procrastinate!!!
How to stand up for myself. And if that meant beating up the strongest and toughest chick in school, well I guess that's what I had to do. Not my first choice, but I was tired of being picked on.
The most useful lesson I learned in school was learning how to read. It opened up a whole world for a little depression-age boy, and after leaving at an early age, I was able to keep learning.
An education is never wasted. And don't sit at the back of the bus.
Going through life fat, drunk and stupid is no way to live – wait, that was Animal House – what I learned was don't believe what everyone says about someone. Envy and lack of understanding means you might not get to know a really amazing person.
I am accountable for my own work. It's not the teacher's fault.
Hmmm, this is tough. School taught me to deal with peer pressure and how to rise above being picking on by using humour.
Ignorance is the true enemy.
School really doesn't prepare you for the real world.
I had a teacher who really expected a lot from us…she relished the opportunity to mold us. It's because of her that I evolved into a career that had a lot to do with communication and writing.
How to read!!! It's the biggest and most important thing I've ever accomplished.
I learned the difference between real friends and the people that you hang out with.
Don't throw candy down the toilet. And speak up for your convictions no matter how crazy they may construe in your mind.
"Tomato". My high school math teacher once told us that it was NEVER acceptable to leave a test answer blank – that was just a guaranteed zero! He said that we should always write something, even if we wrote "tomato" on a math test, just write something!!! I did get stumped once on one of his tests – but got partial marks for writing "tomato" as my answer. This lesson served me well in university, in my career, in life – spinning something, anything, into a bullshit answer is always better that staring in silence.
That individuals who are high performers get ridiculed even when they don't look for any sort of recognition.
Trust yourself to trust others, even if you get burned along the way.
Sticks and stones can break my bones, but names will never hurt me. One of my classmates in Grade 3 told me this one day as I was crying on the playground because two other girls would not play with me, and overall were not being very nice. The saying has always stuck with me.
I didn't pay attention to much of anything in school – I was there to socialize! Unfortunately I did not learn much.
Approaching a professor after getting your paper back and haggling them can very easily earn you up to 7% more, regardless of the quality of your paper.
All of your schooling is useful, even if it doesn't seem like you are using it today.
To stand up for those who cannot do it for themselves. Education doesn't always come from books. Oh, and I had this really weird gym/health teacher that really emphasized the importance of "underarm charm".
Getting a low passing grade in physical education is OK if you don't plan to earn a living playing baseball.
Go outside.
The most useful lesson is, regardless of time or geography, we all need the same basic essentials: food, clean water, safe shelter and a loving family and community.
Don't pee-pee in your pants in Kindergarten class or the teacher will make you wear those dreaded purple pants and all the kids will know that no one wears purple pants like that…so you must have pee-peed in your pants.
It doesn't matter how smart you are, it's how you treat the people around you.
Do onto others as you would have done to you.
That just because someone doesn't understand something or isn't paying attention, doesn't mean they are stupid. They may just need more of a challenge. This was the case for me in several of my classes; I just never realized I was bored until a teacher pulled me aside and asked why I couldn't focus for longer than 15 minutes in class. I apply this every day to my children because they may just be bored and need a challenge, and as their educator, I need to recognize that and provide them with it.
You don't have to like everyone, but you do have to get along with everyone.

From the "Tennis Served Fresh" Blog
He looks scared. And he should be. Tina Taps runs a tight ship. And rightfully so. As head of the U.S. Open ballperson operations at Flushing Meadows, Taps employs nearly 300 people each year to make sure that the matches of the Open not only operate well, they do so almost flawlessly. And her end result? Usually perfection. Sure, there's a mis-thrown ball here or fidget there, but these are the best of the best. And when you've had the chance to experience the vigorous tryouts that Taps puts on, you're going to do the job just fine.
A couple of weeks ago I headed out to the National Tennis Center in Queens to survey the scene of tryout day. Last year I had done a mock (or was it real?!) tryout myself, getting put through the ordeals of running and catching and sprinting my way through Court 7. With ball people, it's really all about timing. If your timing is off coming to grab a netted ball, you could delay a match. And if you're a little early, well, just ask this French kid what happens.
But this year I was simply observing, something I was happy to do. I also was able to corral a few veterans of the U.S. Open ballperson world to talk with me for a few minutes about a few things you should absolutely do, and a few things you should absolutely never do while on the court, providing TSF with 10 do's (and don'ts) from the uso ball person tryouts.

Basket of Fruit panel
about 1810-1820
Full color chintz with purples
Framed panels developed as a popular quilt style during the teens, particularly in the Southern states. Most of the panels were imported from England---possibly by smugglers and privateers during the war---and later by enterprising traders.
Same panel trimmed for an applique quilt
The panels, like the Trophy of Arms square in the South Carolina quilts in the last post, often survive in quilts and as squares cut from yardage.
Strip quilt by Sarah Jones,
Lenoir in Caldwell County, North Carolina
This quilt from the North Carolina Quilt Project features a floral basket panel arranged in strips the way the yardage would have been printed. See the whole quilt at the Quilt Index by clicking here:
Here's another where the panel has been pieced rather than appliqued from the International Quilt Study Center and Museum:
The New England Quilt Museum has yardage with a panel from 1817.
The New England Quilt Museum has yardage with a panel from 1817.
In 1833 Sarah Caldwell used panel yardage for this quilt in the collection of the Mint Museum in Charlotte, North Carolina
On the left and right two designs for
Hepplewhite table tops featuring geometric medallions
Textile historians Florence Montgomery and Janet Rae write that printed medallions were more likely designed for pillows or other furnishing purposes, rather than for quilt centers.
Sheraton designs for Pier Tables
Rae found references to the name Sheraton panels in England indicating they're related to furniture designs of Thomas Sheraton popular between 1780 and 1820. Sheraton furniture and it's many copies featured inlaid woods in classical motifs such as vases, swags and wreaths.
An inlaid table viewed from above
Another table with a half medallion
The Victoria and Albert Museum has a printed chair cover from about 1800. Click here:
Ovals and circles seem to be the most popular shapes for the textiles
But like the furniture design motifs, the textile panels also fit into octagonal and scalloped medallions--echoing the rococo influence with its s-curves and cartouches.
The most common panel used in America seems to be the basket of fruit that is featured in this quilt from the Atlantic Historical Society and at the top of the page. It's easy to spot even in small pictures because of the triple peaches on the right. In her 2008 catalog Chintz Applique Carolyn Ducey notes its popularity with Southern quiltmakers, observing that American medallions featuring the printed panels tend to be from the 1820s and 1830s and made in the Carolinas.
This one appears to be a demi-chintz with
fewer colors---or it may have faded
Dating the panels, which seem to have been printed in England from about 1810 to 1820, is one thing.
Dating the quilts made from them is another. The panels were often saved. We can assume some cutting-edge quilters used them as early as about 1810 and fashion laggards worked on them into the 1840s. (This is my guess on dates----but I am open to argument.)
