Tolls on the M3 - Bailouts for the Toll Firms
national |
miscellaneous |
Tuesday August 18, 2009 21:25 by Muireann Ni Bhrolchain - SaveTara.com
The Irish Government will pay compensation if traffic levels do not reach minimum
The Irish Government will pay compensation for tolls of the M3 if the traffic falls below the established minimum.
Related Links: Tara - N3 - Widen The Road Instead. Traffic, Cars and Peak Oil - In this article from 2004 it was spelt out that with Peak Oil imminent then that the traffic levels will never be justified and the M3 will turn out to be a complete waste of time and resources and Tara will be destroyed for nothing. We are now post Peak Oil and the number of cars and traffic is falling.
This is how this story came to light. The Government have made a sweetheart deal with the tolling company of the M3 that if the minimum traffic levels are not reached then the rest of us will have to foot the bill and the shortfall.
Save Tara campaigners are calling for the resignation of the Minister
for Transport, Mr. Noel Dempsey, over the issue of the tolling of the M3
motorway. Campaigners have being drawing attention to the fact that the
road was to be tolled twice for years now but the message has fallen on
deaf ears until recently when a letter (Meath Chronicle, 18th. July)
from the campaign again drew attention to the fact that Ferrovial made a
sweetheart deal with the Government under which the Toll company would
be compensated by the Taxpayer if traffic levels did not reach the
specific/expected targets. (Campaigners have also drawn attention to the
fact that the tolling period is 45 years and not 30 as reported widely
in the press.)
The traffic figures on the existing N3 are dropping yearly since its peak in May 06 when it reached 19,042, the latest figures available are for March 09 and they have fallen by nearly 3,000 to 16,279. These figures will continue to fall as Meath now records the highest job losses in the country. Unemployment has risen by 116% in a year and the total unemployed in the county now stands at 11,498. In the coming years there will be less people moving to Meath for housing as the prices in Dublin continue to fall the rise in the population of Meath was mainly due to Dubliners who could not afford to live in their own county due to high house prices. Given a choice, commuters will chose to live in neighbouring Kildare where there are no tolls and there is a decent alternative public transport system from the commuter towns of Maynooth and Leixlip in particular. As far as an alternative public transport system for county Meath is concerned, this deal with Ferrovial means that the Government now has a conflict of interest vis a vis the rail option and the M3 motorway. Any proposal for any public transport alternative for Meath commuters will be handicapped by the necessity for the Government to consider the damage such proposals might inflict on traffic volumes on the M3. As an example - the site of the Pace railway station (after the Toll Plaza on the M3) demonstrates this point graphically - you can have the rail alternative but not until you first pay the toll on the M3. Muireann Ní Bhrolcháin said: The indignation expressed by the Meath TDs is laughable. They knew perfectly well that this road was to be tolled twice from the very beginning nearly 10 years ago. Noel Dempsey must resign, not just for presiding over this present debacle but also for his continued involvement in this crazy project that has destroyed, for financial gain, the most precious of Irelands landscapes. The Meath Chronicle reported on October 2000 that there would be two tolls on the then, proposed M3. TDs commented in the meantime. This sweetheart deal with the tolling company is just another symptom of how the present Government is prepared to sell the people out as they intend to do with NAMA. The original letter that sparked off this controversy read as follows:
Dear editor,
Are the Irish public aware of the fact that if the projected traffic numbers do not reach the expected targets on the benighted M3 that the Government (thats us the taxpayer by the way) must pay the shortfall? Ferrovials website states clearly: The concession agreement establishes guaranteed minimum traffic levels and the Irish government has to pay the Concession Company compensation if traffic falls below the established minimums. That is specifically in regard to the double-tolled M3. On the other hand, the same web page says of the M4/M6: Revenue sharing with the Government if certain traffic thresholds are exceeded. It appears that Ferrovial are expecting the traffic levels on the M3 to fall below the expected targets and that the M4/M6 will reach and surpass those targets. The rest of the Irish population should know that we will be paying for the shortfall in tolls if the people of Meath chose not to pay to go to work, if they have work to go to in these straightened times. That means that we will have paid for the M3 twice. For those of us opposed to this project that destroyed Taras landscape, this is an appalling vista. We have been lectured to by the Government, IBEC, Meath County Council and many other bodies of how important this road was and now the traffic will not even reach the minimum required? If the importance of Tara and the Gabhra Valley and the destruction of our heritage does not anger people let us hope that this immoral deal will. Comments (22 of 22)

Given the current economic situation and the dire state of the country it is likely to be quite a long time before we pull out of this downturn and therefore traffic levels will continue to fall. In the last major recession back in the early 1980s, the number of cars in Ireland actually fell due to lower sales and the ever present removal by scraping of older cars from the 'car population'. The same is happening now. And the green shoots are a myth. NAMA will be a burden to this country in the same way as Third World Debt has destroyed many countries.
by Tara Tara Tara Tue Aug 18, 2009 09:13
Dempsey along with Cullen, Roche and anyone else who had anything to do with the approval of the M3 contracts should resign from whatever godforsaken post they now hold here or in the EU and crawl under a rock somewhere in utter disgrace. What they have done is a crime against the Irish people. They brought about the ruination of this country by their desecration of Tara.
by SerfsUp Tue Aug 18, 2009 09:24
I think we need start a campaign to bring back the stocks and put all these greedy corrupt bastards into them for selling out our country's resources and sentencing generations of irishmen and their children to penury with their bailouts. Instead they draw huge salaries and pensions. How stupid they must think we all are. What utter contempt they must hold the Irish people in to do these things.

This is just another example of Fianna Fail corruption .
by SerfsUp Tue Aug 18, 2009 11:15
Sounds good, and it might even get a tiny bit of publicity, but unfortunately, all that would probably happen is that dempsey and co would just quietly pay the shortfall to his cronies out of our tax money then get hanafin to cut another few percent off social welfare to pay for it. Makes no difference to him
by Notoll Tue Aug 18, 2009 15:29
Fair play to you and Tarawatch for keeping the heat on these thieves!

At a climate change conference in Cultivate in 2008 the assembled politicians were backed into a corner and they came out with busses, busses and more busses. This was their only practical idea on reducing carbon emissions.
by Makepiece Tue Aug 18, 2009 18:57
And we shouldn't forget dempsey's involvement in the corrib gas giveaway too. Everything that man touched turned to shit for the Irish people. It's just my opinion (not just mine though) but I Bet he is up to his eyeballs in corrupt dealings over roads and corrib gas. I believe some day it will come out how corrupt dempsey truly was, but he is a cute hoor too so I doubt he wrote down much that might incriminate him.
by Tara Campaigner Wed Aug 19, 2009 02:19
This wasn't a Tarawatch initative Notoll.
by Morrigan Wed Aug 19, 2009 08:52
Maybe the Greens might have the guts to go through with their walkout over NAMA, maybe then this contract ( which is a bail out for the road builders just like the developers got) could be renegotiated by a new Govt? I can but hope.
by NoAgain - The Anti-Organisation Wed Aug 19, 2009 08:56
If they can cut the Dole, the Xmas Bonus and the Children's Allowance, then why can't they legislate to cut Ferrovial ?
by Tara Tara Tara Wed Aug 19, 2009 10:33
Well said! The fact is that they knew all of this for years and sat on it. It's only Muireann's recent repeat letters to the Press that prompted current investigation. It seems only a recession can jolt any sort of responce. Perhaps it will help to sell papers, hmmmn?
by Notoll Wed Aug 19, 2009 16:35
Tara campaigner, Tarawatch have been pushing the toll initiative for years, and it is sad to see your snide comments against fellow campaigners. Did you participate in the toll hearing? Did you support their demonstration at the Competition Authority yesterday?
by Jason Wed Aug 19, 2009 17:04
drove from Dublin to galway a few days ago and the motorway all the way to ballinasloe was fantastic, if u dont want to pay a toll drive the back road and bust your tyres, typical object to everything! if ye were around when the wheel was invented ye would have objected!!!!!!
by Tara Tara Tara Wed Aug 19, 2009 17:44
Jason I hope you enjoy paying it twice for the next 45 years

One Man Banned
this wiki
One Man Banned is the fourteenth episode of Season 7.
After Timmy Turner is rejected from the school band, he wishes everyone would love his music. But when Timmy gets his first taste of acclaim, Wanda has to stop him before he becomes completely fame-crazed.
Mr. Bickles is holding auditions for the school band at Dimmsdale Elementary School. Timmy Turner and his friends line up to try out, yet it seems like every kid has more talent than Timmy, even Elmer's boil which sings in a baritone. Timmy tries to sing or play instruments, and is horrible every time, so bad he ends up getting tomatoes thrown at him. When Timmy tries his luck with a triangle, something as simple as a small tap on the metal shape causes natural disasters, Timmy is ceremoniously rejected from the band.
On his way home on the school bus, Timmy notices that everyone has musical talent except him. Mr. Crocker is playing the nose flute, Sanjay is charming a snake with a pungi (a type of flute), and even Vicky shows musical talent playing the xylophone (she uses the heads of the children she is babysitting as the pitch bars). When Timmy gets home he sees that even his parents are talented musicians. Mr. Turner plays the bongos and has a platinum-selling record, including one called Bingo Bongo. Timmy's attempts to play the triangle again result in volcanoes springing up around the house and frogs rain from the sky. Mr. Turner, angry at his son's lack of talent, and the destruction of his awards sends Timmy to his room.
Frustrated, Timmy wishes he was the most talented musician in the country. Within seconds, a crowd of people rushes Timmy's house and attempt to break into his room, including Mr. Crocker and Tootie. Timmy loves the aggressive attention he is receiving, even as he is forced to take refuge in his bathroom. He quickly wishes for even more fame and power. Timmy Turner becomes Timmy Triangle, a hit musician who only has to tap triangle once yet easily tops the charts. A montage shows Timmy parodying many famous music videos, including Michael Jackson's Thriller and OK Go's Here It Goes Again. Timmy becomes so rich and famous that his house, Timmyland Ranch, blocks the sun so Mr. and Mrs. Turner always think it is dark out. Cosmo and Wanda worry that Timmy is becoming too fame crazy. Timmy says he's fine despite talking in the third person, dressing like Elvis and sitting in huge piles of money like a throne.
Timmy still wants more, he wishes he was the best musician in the world, and wishes for a giant stadium that could fit the whole world inside. The face of the Earth literally shifts into Timmy's face, and a huge stadium called the Timmydome takes up most of the planet. Before Timmy's big concert, his parents come to congratulate them but Timmy gives them and his godparents the cold shoulder. Timmy throws his fairies out, and they take their magic with them, so when Timmy tries to perform at the concert it is so horrible that everyone in the world starts throwing tomatoes at him. However, Timmy's dad forgives him and helps his son out by giving one of his famous bongo performances to calm the crowd down. Backstage, Timmy apologizes to his godparents for his behavior, and decides to mount an ill-conceived comeback by playing the triangle again, which results in the entire world being destroyed.

For lack of a permanent resting place for high-level nuclear waste, piles of spent fuel rods continue to accumulate at nuclear reactors across the country. The industry thought it had been granted a respite when Wendell Chino, president of the Mescalero Apaches in southern New Mexico, said his tribe might be willing to temporarily store the used fuel. During the 40 years he proposed to care for the waste, he estimated that the fees would bring his people some $250 million.
Never mind that the state legislature and congressional delegation roundly condemned the plan, as did officials and business leaders of the neighboring town of Ruidoso, who felt that nuclear waste would scare off tourists. So confident was Mr. Chino that this was a good thing for his people that he put the matter to a vote, insisting all the while that tribal law gave him and the tribal council the power to make the final decision.
Last week the citizens of Mescalero surprised just about everyone by voting against the tribal leadership. Turning out in record numbers, some three-quarters of the reservation's 1,200 eligible voters defeated the proposal by a vote of 490 to 362.
A disappointed Mr. Chino said he didn't consider the 128-vote margin very decisive, but he intended to abide by the outcome. GEORGE JOHNSON

(This article was published Tuesday, March 6, 2007, in The Macon Telegraph.)VIDEO OF NEW BUILDING FROM THE MACON TELEGRAPHBy Jennifer BurkTELEGRAPH STAFF WRITERMercer University's new Science and Engineering Building has high-tech classrooms and high-tech laboratories and high-tech equipment.
It's almost enough to make students believe everything in the building is "high-tech." But not quite.
"Being old-fashioned as we are, the physics department requested black slate (chalk) boards," Randall Peters, chairman of the physics department, said half-jokingly.
Work began on the $14 million project in December 2005. Construction has remained on track, and furniture will start going into the building about mid-April, said Ronny Williams, vice president of Chris R. Sheridan & Co. General Contractors. Classes in the new building will start in the fall.
The Science and Engineering Building, located on the corner of College and Prince streets on Mercer's campus, is intended to enhance Mercer's partnership with Robins Air Force Base, said M. Dayne Aldridge, dean of Mercer's School of Engineering.
Forty percent to 50 percent of Mercer graduates go to work at the base, and 20 percent to 40 percent work at the base while they are students, he said.
The new building, which is half engineering and half physics, has much more lab space, most notably for student projects, he said.
Most lab equipment will come from the old engineering building, but the school also is purchasing more than $200,000 worth of new equipment, Aldridge said.
Twenty small labs, with coded locks on the doors, are designed specifically for students, he said. Before, students always had to pack up their work and take it with them when they left the lab.
"Now they'll have a space of their own," Aldridge said.
There also will be labs to study chemical and electronic actions, as well as classrooms and a 147-seat auditorium.
Peters said the labs have been personalized for use.
"They have folded into the laboratories exactly what we wanted," he said. "We have the ability to do some novel experiments, things that, I think, have never been done before."
Also, the physics department hopes to use the auditorium to hold a "physics circus," which is an event that demonstrates the principles of physics to the public, he said.
"This auditorium is perfect for that," he said.
The space alone is an improvement over what physics currently has in the Willet Science Center, where a large auditorium takes up most of the space on the first floor, Peters said.
The new building also features a room with a seismograph built 20 feet into the ground. The seismograph is surrounded by concrete and is insulated for temperature control.
"When there's an earthquake in the world, this block ought to move and (the) seismograph will pick it up," Aldridge said.

I rewatched the films (theatrical) recently and while a lot does work, Wood and Mortensen were fairly underwhelming, Wood especially being limited and choppy in his range, and Pippin was particularly underdeveloped until TRotK. The middle of the first film felt pretty rushed and dependent on the effects while there wasn't much plot in the second. Gollum was pretty good but at times too cheaply comical and I didn't like how literal the division and interaction between his Good and Evil sides were (although I realize it's hard to do something subtler on film).
The Frodo & Sam stuff started to annoy me pretty soon. And while I could watch Fellowship daily, the other two films somehow do nothing for me anymore.
These were "problems" that always existed. What would make them not "hold up" now as opposed to then?
No. I do not think that the Lord of the Rings Trilogy holds up. The strongest entry is Frellowship of the Rings, in my opinion. But a reboot? Another movie, or series of films? I'm not sure what that could accomplish that Peter Jackson hasn't, already. There could be a more literally faithful version of LOTR, certainly. But ... that would be the only difference and it would be so minor that it would hardly make the effort of making it worthwhile. What should happen is a condensed, combined version of the LOTR trilogy that's already out there. Make it a single, 3 hour-long movie, or so. Otherwise, I fail to find the point of revisiting this classic, in movie form.
Middle Earth based TV series... HMM Of course, if they did that now people would accuse them of trying to cash in on Game of Thrones success..lol
I'm not a very big LotR fan. I enjoyed the films, and I watch them again every now and then. For me, they're always a good watch.
I don't watch them nearly as often as i used to anymore, but yes, they still hold up and rank among my favorite films of all times.
They hold up quite well AFAIC, though I do find them "dense" enough that I tend to need breaks while watching them. That said I also only watch the Extended Editions these days.
The first film has pacing issues, the second one is to all intents and purposes perfect, and the third one has plot and CGI issues. Overall though, they're still fantastic...
Re-watched them again about a month ago and will do again when I have DoS to do a 5 film runthrough. The CGI is looking rough these days, the acting? please, read the book and tell me the actors are actually more cheesey or silly at times, the narrative holds up just fine.
They're technical marvels and the acting is top notch. They were filmed in 1999 but they could easily have been made the other day.
Naah, Keanu can play Neo — but only if they use a digital version of him, not a live Keanu. He'll be more convincing as an actor.
Just saying there's no need of a remake. Besides the Hobbit is currently being released so we'd at least have to wait a few years after it finished before considering it. Say...2020.

CEFR is the abbreviation for The Common European Framework of reference for Languages: Learning, Teaching, Assessment. It is a guideline used to describe achievements of learners of foreign languages across Europe (and in some other countries). Its main aim is to provide a method of learning, teaching and assessing which applies to all languages in Europe.
There are 6 levels. The CEFR describes what a learner is supposed to be able to do in reading, listening, speaking and writing at each level.
Can understand and use familiar everyday expressions and very basic phrases aimed at the satisfaction of needs of a concrete type. Can introduce him/herself and others and can ask and answer questions about personal details such as where he/she lives, people he/she knows and things he/she has. Can interact in a simple way provided the other person talks slowly and clearly and is prepared to help.
According to the CEFR, if you are A2, you can understand sentences and frequently used expressions related to areas of most immediate relevance (e.g. very basic personal and family information, shopping, local geography, employment). Can communicate in simple and routine tasks requiring a simple and direct exchange of information on familiar and routine matters. Can describe in simple terms aspects of his/her background, immediate environment and matters in areas of immediate need.
Can understand the main points of clear standard input on familiar matters regularly encountered in work, school, leisure, etc. Can deal with most situations likely to arise whilst travelling in an area where the language is spoken. Can produce simple connected text on topics which are familiar or of personal interest. Can describe experiences and events, dreams, hopes & ambitions and briefly give reasons and explanations for opinions and plans.
Can understand the main ideas of complex text on both concrete and abstract topics, including technical discussions in his/her field of specialisation. Can interact with a degree of fluency and spontaneity that makes regular interaction with native speakers quite possible without strain for either party. Can produce clear, detailed text on a wide range of subjects and explain a viewpoint on a topical issue giving the advantages and disadvantages of various options.
Can understand a wide range of demanding, longer texts, and recognise implicit meaning. Can express him/herself fluently and spontaneously without much obvious searching for expressions. Can use language flexibly and effectively for social, academic and professional purposes. Can produce clear, well-structured, detailed text on complex subjects, showing controlled use of organisational patterns, connectors and cohesive devices.
Can understand with ease virtually everything heard or read. Can summarise information from different spoken and written sources, reconstructing arguments and accounts in a coherent presentation. Can express him/herself spontaneously, very fluently and precisely, differentiating finer shades of meaning even in the most complex situations.
This table shows how the CEFR compares with some other standards from the United States and Canada:
ILR - Interagency Language Roundtable Scale (United States)
ACTFL - American Council for the Teaching of Foreign Languages Proficiency Guidelines
NB OPS - New Brunswick Oral Proficiency Scale
CLB - Canadian Language Benchmarks
PSC - Public Service Commission of Canada Second Official Language Proficiency Levels
A1 | 0/0+/1 | Novice (Low/Mid/High) | Unrated/0+/1 | 1/2 | A |
A2 | 1+ | Intermediate (Low/Mid/High) | 1+/2 | 3/4 | B |

Anita, those are great shots. That last one especially. I used to watch the Galloping Gourmet when I was a kid and loved how he always had to have a little wine for himself when he added it to the dish. Maybe that's how mom saw fit to do the same? haha. I do need to take more pics but we need to get out of the house to do that and it's just so godawful hot and sticky.
ReplyDeleteI really like the idea of photographs of your day... yours are especially good photos. I have what is left of an Osprey nest out in the back yard and if I stand on the upstairs balcony I might be able to get a shot...
I might just try this one day, if it ever stops raining....
Nice post!
SandyAnita it definitely was not a waste of a day...not viewing the beauty that you photographed would have been a waste of a day. Beautiful...just totally beautiful. Now as for me tomorrow I intend to get a lot of things accomplished that I have been putting off doing. Oops there's that word again...intentions!
ReplyDeleteANITA.. WHAT BEAUTIFUL PHOTOGRAPHY.. I AM STILL JUST LEARNING TO DO THINS ON MY IPHONE.. TOO MUCH TECH.. ALL AT ONE TIME.. WHERE IN FLORIDA ARE THOSE TAKEN.. SOMETIMES I FORGET I EVEN LIVE HERE BECAUSE WE ARE TUCKED AWAY IN A LITTLE COMMUNITY.
THERE IS ANOTHER GIVEAWAY IN THE MORNING AND LOTS OF NEW THINGS FOR EVERYONE TO JOIN IN ON ..SO ENJOY YOUR DAY!Hi Anita! I just got a beautiful postcard from you in the mail today and your post today and stopped by to tell you I love it! I love the beach and all things coastal too and reading this post I realized that we have even more than that in common...like having good intentions to participate in assignments...I managed to do the Picture series at Big Picture but that is about it I'm afraid. Also have that love of a nice glass of wine in common:)...and I'm cooking pork tenderloin for supper tonight:)

Posted July 28, 2014 I assume people are hearing about the controversy surrounding the current production of "The Mikado," especially in Seattle, which has a huge Asian population. A few examples of the coverage: http://www.nbcnews.com/news/asian-america/stereotypes-mikado-stir-controversy-seattle-n157306 http://seattletimes.com/html/thearts/2024145209_mikadocommentaryxml.html Bolshoi Ballet audiences were greeted by a group of Jewish demonstrators protesting the presentation of "Klinghoffer" at the Met. I stopped to speak with some of them and they objected to the presentation of Israelis and Palestinians as "moral equivalents," among other things. I might add that Wagner's characterization of Jews in some of his operas is pretty appalling, but I'm not sure that draws the same protest. I wonder if we'll start seeing such protests over ballet classics, which include some pretty ugly stereotypes (e.g., Nutcracker, Raymonda). A few of those divertissements could be omitted or altered without disrupting the ballet overall, just as blackface can easily be omitted from some classics. But for some ballets, the stereotypes seem so pervasive, you really can't just remove a few scenes and still have the ballet. Share this post Link to post
Posted July 30, 2014 Thanks for the post, California. Interesting. I think they could have saved themselves a world of hurt by casting a few Asians in the production...... But for some ballets, the stereotypes seem so pervasive, you really can't just remove a few scenes and still have the ballet. That is a potential problem, and not only in ballet.

Birds of the Dominican Republic and Haiti |
Birds of the Dominican Republic and Haiti fills a large void in the literature on birdwatching and the environment in these tropical countries. The first comprehensive field guide devoted to Hispaniola's birds, it provides detailed accounts for more than 300 species, including thirty-one endemic species. Included in the species descriptions are details on key field marks, similar species, voice, habitats, geographic distribution on Hispaniola, status, nesting, range, and local names used in both the Dominican Republic and Haiti. The authors also comment on ecology, behavior, and taxonomic status. The book provides color illustrations and range maps based on the most recent data available. But the authors' intent is to provide more than just a means of identifying birds. The guide also underscores the importance of promoting the conservation of migratory and resident birds, and building support for environmental measures. "[This book] fills a major gap in the ornithological literature of the West Indies. . . . Ornithologists and birders interested in West Indies birds, and especially Hispaniola's birds, now have an excellent, modern guide to these species. The book is highly recommended to these enthusiasts, as well as naturalists, conversation biologists, and academic and public libraries."--International Hawkwatcher "The first comprehensive field guide to the birds of Hispaniola."--Wildlife Activist "If you are thinking of going anywhere near Haiti or Dominican Republic, pick this one up. It's an excellent book."--Geoff Carpentier, OFO News "Any visitor to the island will find the guide an indispensable asset."--Chris Doughty, The Bird Observer "This well-illustrated new work fills a large void in the literature on birdwatching and the environment in these tropical countries. Touted as the first comprehensive field guide to Hispaniola's birds, it provides detailed accounts for more than 300 species, including thirty-one endemic species. . . . An important contribution to the literature that will provide a handy guide to the region."--Charles E. Keller, Indiana Audubon Quarterly "This is a wonderful addition to the literature on West Indian birds and a must-have book for anyone headed for Hispaniola or interested in the distribution and abundance of that island's birds. It is both attractive and detailed."--John R. Faaborg, North American Bird Bander Endorsements: Other Princeton books by Allan Keith: Other Princeton books by James Wiley: Other Princeton books by Herbert A. Raffaele:

Lewis Hamilton's day could scarcely have got off to a worse start as the all-new Formula One season finally got under way officially here in Melbourne.
At the start of the first of two practice sessions for tomorrow's Australian Grand Prix, the pre-season favourite's Mercedes rolled to a halt after only 12 minutes.
It was the sort of embarrassment that had been expected from many cars after the teams all encountered reliability issues during winter testing in Spain and Bahrain. But to the surprise of many it turned out to be one of only few such glitches on a day that showcased the excellence of the sport's technological brains.
Even Hamilton's problem turned out to be minor – a sensor calibration failure caused the car to shut its systems down as a safety measure. Though he lost 90 minutes of valuable running, he bounced back strongly in the second session to set the day's fastest time, 0.157 seconds ahead of team-mate Nico Rosberg.
"It really was a day of two halves today," Hamilton said. "While it was disappointing not to get any track time this morning, these little hiccups are going to happen with the new cars and we'll have to get used to that.
"It felt like I was on the back foot from there but then we got up to pace quite quickly in FP2 and found the balance relatively fast. I feel quite comfortable in the car so overall it's a positive start but we need to look at the data now and understand where we are.
"We got a nice foundation for the weekend in the second session today so hopefully we can build on that in FP3 tomorrow afternoon and then see where we are in qualifying."
Ferrari's Fernando Alonso said he was happy with his start after he had been fastest in the first session and chased the Mercedes in the second. But the big surprise of the day was the pace and reliability of the Red Bulls, after all their well-publicised problems in testing. Sebastian Vettel was able to set the fourth best time, albeit seven-tenths of a second down on Hamilton, and new team-mate Daniel Ricciardo was sixth as they amassed 115 laps between them.
"It's a big relief, a lot of work went into this," Vettel said. "Neither of us had big problems today, the cars were running and the balance felt very good. Friday times are not worth a lot but it is better to be closer to the top rather than somewhere lost in the back. In terms of speed we know there is a lot more to come but so far it feels very good."
There was also encouragement for Jenson Button, second fastest for McLaren in the first session, fifth overall in the second.
"We had a good day, and I'm reasonably happy with the way things went for us. We are in better shape than we were in the tests," Button said as he faces his first race since the death of his father.
Williams under-performed after their speed in testing had raised expectations, but after Valtteri Bottas and Felipe Massa were only eighth and 12th the team said they expected better performance today.
Mercedes head Toto Wolff countered suggestions that the flatulent note of the new turbocharged hybrid V6 engines was a disappointment to fans. "Well if you like the sound of engines let's go back to V10 and V12, let's not do any hybrid technology," he said. "This is the modern technology, this is where road cars go. Downsizing is the motto and I think we just need to accept the formula has changed."

Movie Friday - The Water Fountain
I don't know why Mom Paula was laughing at me so much last night when all I was trying to do was figure out how to get a drink of water from this contraption. All I seemed to get was a wet head.
And to make matters worse, Mom Paula videotaped my embarrassment!
Pee ess: I'm going back to the vet today to get my third (and hopefully last) kitten vaccination booster today. Please keep those purrs going that everything goes well for me!

Thankful Thursday
I am so happy!
Mom ML
had Mom Peggy from
Peggy's Place
to make me a
Peggy Blankie
and I received it this week! It's the most beautiful pink and white and soft blankie there ever was! She also included a toy and I had the best time bunny kicking it on my soft Peggy Blankie!
Just look how plush and thick it is. My little paws are covered up.
I really like to lie down on my Peggy Blankie and play with my pink mousie!
It's also fun to chew on my Peggy Blankie.
Thank you so much Mom ML for getting me my first Peggy Blankie and thank you Mom Peggy for doing such a beautiful job!

Trubble Truffle
Mom Paula (and Auntie Deb) gave me the nickname "Trubble Truffle" before I came home to live with her
I don't know why she would do that . . .
I know my stinky goodness is in here somewhere and I'm not moving until I find it! I mean it!!!
Still waiting . . .
Mom Paula: I promise you that I watch out very carefully when I open the refrigerator! Truffle is just so darn fast! She can be in the other room and as soon as the fridge door is open, there she is. I always look down before shutting the door. You should see me trying to wash and dry clothes . . .

Frozen Truffle
I know Mom Paula keeps my left over stinky goodness in here somewhere! I keep trying to get in here to find it whenever I hear the door open. You will notice there is a little more food in here than you saw a few days ago, but Mom Paula won't let me have any of it!
Recently, I discovered the door on the left side of the big white box. Brrrrrrrrr. It sure is cold when Mom Paula opens this door. I wonder if she is hiding my stinky goodness in here.
I'll let you know if I find any. Would someone please turn on some heat???
Mom Paula: Please note that no kitty was harmed in the taking of these pictures. Truffle is just so quick that she's in the fridge or freezer before I can even look down.

Easy Like Sunday
I'm going to take it easy (even if it's just a few minutes) today and rest with Mom Paula. We've both had a long and challenging week, with my emergency vet visit and mom's cancer surgery.
Today is my sister-before-me, Sweet Praline's, birthday. She would have celebrated her sweet 16 birthday today. Angel Praline has been a guiding angel for me since I've come to live with Mom Paula and I know I still have big paws to fill, but she was a pretty special ladycat. Mom Paula has posted a memory post of
Sweet Praline's Birthday Slumber party
from 2009 where over 60 woofies and kitties helped Praline celebrate her birthday. We had a lot of memories, smiles, and tears as we revisited this special event in Praline's past. Happy Birthday, Sweet Praline!

Photo Hunt - Yellow
Today's Photo Hunt theme is "yellow." We don't have too many things yellow in our house, but next month on October 2, the entire world and the CB will be celebrating LiveStrong in honor of those who've fought cancer and won and in memory of those who've lost the battle. As of this week, Mom Paula is now a cancer survivor, having been diagnosed with a Squamous Cell Carcinoma (skin cancer) on her abdomen. The doctor believes they caught the cancer early and that all of the cancer cells were removed, but Mom Paula will need to be re-checked on a regular basis for future occurances.
Tomorrow, September 25, 2011 would have been Sweet Praline's 16th birthday. Mom Paula is going to have a memory post for her where you can revisit the Slumber Party Praline had for her 13th birthday. We'll provide a link on my post tomorrow, but we're going to re-post the Slumber Party on
Sweet Praline's
Here's a graphic of Sweet Praline's "yellow" post with Mom Paula from the past. Sweet Praline had a Mast Cell Tumor in her spleen.
I also want to remember my sweet little brother, Beignet. We were together for a little over 11 weeks when he went to the Bridge because of a Vaccination Associated Sarcoma (VAS). I'll share more about this cancer on October 2.
I think the color "yellow" makes me both happy and sad because we celebrate those who've survived this dreaded disease, but we remember those we've lost.
The South Carolina Gamecocks (chickens) are at it again on the football field. They are playing the Vanderbilt Commodores tonight at 7:00 am EST. The game will be televised on ESPN2. Mom Paula brought me home this special bag from her favorite Gamecock clothing store and I thought the name was purrfect for me!

Movie Friday - Pink Pillow
Mom Paula keeps pulling out a new toy from the package I received from
Laila and Minchie
The other day, she pulled out a pink mousie and a pink pillow. I took to the pillow immediately (it has a crown on it) and have carried it all over the house. I hope you enjoy this little video of me having a good time with my pink pillow.
I hope everyone has a great Friday.
Pee ess: Mom Paula rescheduled my vet appointment to get my last kitten vaccination until next Friday since I had that emergency visit on Monday and Mom Paula had her cancer surgery yesterday.

Newest Bird TV
Hello Everyone! Angel Praline told me about this wonderful place in Mom Paula's office where I could see Bird TV easily and it wasn't too tall for me. Mom Paula kept wondering why I rushed into her office when she opened the door, but when she turned around and saw me, she had tears (of happiness) in her eyes when she saw me looking out of the same window Praline would look out of all the time.
Isn't this Bird TV wonderful? Thank you, Angel Praline for showing it to me.
Pee ess - Mom Paula's surgery went well yesterday. The doctor thinks they caught the cancer in the early stages and thinks she was able to remove all of it. Mom Paula has to go back in 6 months. Thank you so much for all of your purrs and purrayers.
Pee pee ess - I'm requesting special purrs for a decision that Mom Paula has to make in a couple of weeks. I'll share more about that a little later.
Wednesday, September 21, 2011

Thank you for all of your purrs and purrayers for Mom Paula. I'll be sure to let you know how things are going.

Truffle Tuesday
Hi Everyone!
I scared my mom Sunday night. I woke her up around 2:00 am gagging and wheezing. She checked my mouth and throat and couldn't find anything, but I did this all night. Mom Paula called the vet as soon as they opened Monday morning and they said to come in around 9:10 am. Mom Paula decided to give me a treat to see if I could eat and swallow. I chewed 2 treats and I've been fine since then!!! The vet lady said that my temperature was slightly elevated (+0.1 degrees) and that either I had the beginnings of an URI (although there are no symptoms) or that I had some hard food stuck the wrong way in my throat and chewing the treats dislodged it. See, treats are great for our health!!! Would make a great advertisement, wouldn't it?
Mom stayed home with me all day to watch over me. I liked having her home, but I don't recommend this particular method.
I don't think I like this red thing, though. Every time I get in it, someone in a white coat pokes and prods me! I go back to the vet on Friday for my final kitten vaccination.
Pee ess - Mom Paula had a biopsy last week for a skin lesion on her stomach. It came back as cancerous (Squamous Cell Carcinoma) and she goes back to the dermatologist Wednesday afternoon to have more tissue removed. Please keep her in your purrs and purrayers.

Meow Like a Pirate Day
Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy! Mom said I could dress up today and participate in the "Meow Like a Pirate Day." This is so much fun. I'm still learning how to talk kitty talk, so I may be limited in my vocabulary, but don't you just love my outfit!
I also found out what my pirate name would be! I just love that I would be a "Captain".
My pirate name is:
Captain Grace Rackham
Even though there's no legal rank on a pirate ship, everyone recognizes you're the one in charge. You have the good fortune of having a good name, since Rackham (pronounced RACKem, not rack-ham) is one of the coolest sounding surnames for a pirate. Arr!

Photo Hunters - Wooden
Today's photo hunt theme is: Wooden. On my first day with mom Paula, she had posted my "Welcome Home, Truffle" sign on her
I love playing on the
floors in the foyer and kitchen. Mom Paula gets a laugh when I go sliding when I'm chasing the laser light.
My newest piece of wooden furniture is in Mom Paula's office and I just love sitting on this little
table (just the right side for me) and watch Bird TV.
Which reminds me, the chickens (Gamecocks) are playing the Midshipmen (boats are
, aren't they?) Anyway, the SC Gamecocks play Navy today at 6:00 pm EST and can be seen on ESPN 2. Of course my mom is going and she expects me to stay here and not get into any trouble. Right?
I'm proud to be a Gamecock kitty!!!

Movie Friday
Mom Paula realized a week ago that she had to get me an interactive toy because I was wearing her out in the early hours of the morning (1:00 am). After she left choir practice, the pet stores were closed, so she went to the 24-hour Walmart and found this toy. She thought it was similar to the toy I played with at Mom Terri's house. Little did she realize, the purple ball chirped like a bird! This sound will drive all of the beans crazy, but you kitties will love it.
Mom Paula merged a few videos together so you could see me playing with my favorite toy. She made a little mistake at the very beginning of the video when putting it together, so please ignore the message, "enter text here".
Your moms and dads may want to turn the sound down before starting the video. MOL
Have a great weekend!

Thankful Thursday
I received my first package in the mail this week. It was addressed to Mom Paula, but when she opened it, everything was for me!!! The package was from
Laila and Minchie
(and Mom Peggy)
I was so happy because this is the first present I've received in the mail.
Hurry up, Mom! There's something in here for me!
Fun! Fun! Fun! Pink tissue paper!
There were some wonderful presents in here for me (kitten Fancy Feast, coupons for stinky goodness, pink toys galore, . . .
What else is in here for me mom?
A crown!!! Isn't it beautiful? I still don't have a lot of floof on my head yet, so this is the best picture Mom Paula could get so far! Every time she goes to take a picture, it would fall off and the last time, I walked away with it in my mouth. MOL!
Thanks Mom Peggy, Laila, and Minchie! I love everything and you, too!
Mom Paula: To respond to one of the comments yesterday - Yes, it's been a long time since I've had a kitten; almost 16 years, so it has been a long time. I've forgotten how exhausting they can be, but I love her to death!!!
Wednesday, September 14, 2011
Wordless Wednesday
Note from Mom Paula: I've temporarily moved the cat tree away from the secretary desk. I think I'll breathe a little easier that way. I need to totally rearrange my front room to find a permanent place for it.

Towering Truffle
Mom Paula should have known better! She bought a kitty tree for me that is only 5 feet tall because she is a little shorter than 5 feet and she wanted to be able to reach me. She also put the tree in front of the window so I could look out. She also took down the drapes on this window so I wouldn't be tempted to climb them. This looks safe enough, huh?
So, like any good kitty would do, I began investigating the kitty tree. Notice the piece of furniture beside the tree. That's mom's "secretary desk" where the ashes of Sweet Praline and Beignet are kept. First, I jumped up and investigate the cave. It looked pretty interesting.
Then I jumped up to the top and took a moment to look at the Bird TV!
Wait a minute! What's that up there?
Mom Paula saw me looking up and said, "no way can you get up there!" I guess I proved her wrong! I'm the Queen of my domain!
Do you see how far I had to jump to get on top of the secretary desk? Mom Paula kept saying, "Persians don't jump!" She quickly ran to get her 3-step stool (after taking a quick picture) to get me down. I looked at her with a look that said, "what's your problem?" Mom Paula keeps debating on whether to move the kitty tree.
Mom Paula: Truffle scared me to death when she did this! I was concerned that she would fall off of the back or slide as she was trying to get down because of the slope of the top. I'm still debating on whether to move the tree or not!
Monday, September 12, 2011
Home Alone
Mom Paula goes back to work today, so I think I'll just wait for her her in my little cave on my cat tree.
That is, until Mom leaves. Little does she know that Angel Praline has told me about lots of places to explore when Mom isn't here!!!
Mom Paula: I think this is going to be harder on me than it is on Truffle.

We Shall Never Forget
I wasn't around 10 years ago, so I'm going to let Mom Paula talk today as we remember and honor those who lost their lives 10 years ago and those that are still fighting for our freedom and peace.
Mom Paula:
asked that we all have a special "Remembrance Day" and share our stories of 9/11/01 and post a special Peace Globe today.
I've always been a very patriotic person and am the type to cry when I hear the National Anthem, God Bless America, or watch tributes to our veterans and troops. Ten years ago today, I was on my way to teach classes at the university where I was a college professor. I always liked listening to talk radio while driving in and they made a comment that a plane had hit one of the World Trade Centers. I remember thinking, "Wow!" and didn't think much more of it. I arrived in my office and was preparing for my first class when my phone rang and my mother said, "Both buildings of the World Trade Center have been hit." It wasn't but a few minutes later that she called me back and told me of the attack on The Pentagon and the crash of the fourth plane. Our Internet service at the university became overwhelmed and we couldn't get any information, but the university turned on the news on all of the TVs in the buildings and hallways and I joined students and faculty watching as the twin towers burned. I think everyone was in shock! It was when the towers started crumbling to the ground that tears began falling from my eyes and everyone's around me. We just couldn't take our eyes away from the TV, much less get any work done. We received an email from the university that we couldn't cancel classes, but we weren't to punish any student who didn't come to class. Needless to say, I met with my classes, but immediately dismissed them once they showed up. Who could teach when our country was being attacked by terrorists? I think everyone stayed glued to the TV that day and several days after that.
The next Thursday, I went out of state (on a plane) to the first televised college football game after 9/11 to watch South Carolina play Mississippi State. I remember the anxiety as I boarded the plan and passed through tight security at the football stadium. Prior to the game, all of the music on the loud speaker was patriotic music and when I heard Lee Greenwood sing, "God Bless the USA," my eyes filled with tears. I remember looking into the skies and thinking, "this would be the ideal place for another attack" and being nervous. Instead of the teams running onto the field to cheers and boos from separate locker rooms, both teams walked out on the field together in total silence and unfolded an American Flag that covered the entire field. I don't think there was a dry eye in the stadium.
Our lives have changed since that day. People aren't as trusting as they used to be and the economy has taken a major hit. I, however, will always be proud to be an American citizen of the United States and trust that we'll have peace again, even if that peace comes in Heaven.
Thank you to all of my friends and acquaintances in other countries who've shown their support to the United States during these trying times. May we always remember those innocent people who lost their lives on that day and those military personnel who've fought for and given their lives for our freedom and peace.

Chickens vs Woofies
Mom told me since I'm living with her now that I must pull for the South Carolina Gamecocks. Angel Praline told me I could call them the "chickens." Mom Paula loves her Gamecocks, so since I love her, I guess I'll support the chickens.
Mom and Dad McRee and the kitties from
Krasota Castle
bought me my first present when Mom Paula met them at a recent cat show. Mom Paula was thrilled when they gave me this Gamecock bandana and she was determined she was going to get a picture of me in it.
Then I found out that the "chickens" were playing the woofies (Georgia Bulldogs), so I decided that I had to go in attack mode.
If you want to join me in fighting with the "chickens" against those "woofies" you can watch it live on ESPN at 4:30 pm EST if you live in the states. Off to watch the game . . .

Mo Cats Day
Today is my first time participating in Mo Cats Day. What is Mo Cats Day you ask (I had to ask Mom Paula.) Well, back in 2009, someone said there were "too many cats on the internet!" Can you imagine? So The Cat Blogosphere came together to change NO CATS DAY to
and decided to celebrate every 09/09. How?Just post to your own blog, whatever fills your heart and soul and imagination about CATS.
Yippee! I like this idea. I only have one problem though. I think we should celebrate cats EVERYDAY! MOL. So, in honor of MO CATS DAY, I think I'll play, play, and then play some more.
Here are a few of our favorite quotes about cats:
"Beware of people who dislike cats." - Irish Proverb
"Happy is the home with at least one cat." - Italian Proverb
"Dogs come when they're called. Cats take a message and get back to you." - Mary Bly
"I simply can't resist a cat, particularly a purring one. They are the cleanest, cunningest, and most intelligent things I know, outside of the girl you love, of course." - Mark Twain
"Women and cats will do as they please and men and dogs should relax and get used to the idea." - Unknown
Have a wonderful day my furriends!

Steve McQueen: "I Want to Be Useful"
Rob Nelson
Nov 2013
"I don't think slavery has been taboo at all," Steve McQueen says, having just noted that his film 12 Years a Slave is one of less than two dozen to address this painful part of US history. "[Racism has] actually been very visible and obvious—the elephant in the room." In a Q&A with Rob Nelson, McQueen discusses slavery, art, and how he sees Solomon Northup's 1853 book as "the Anne Frank diary of America."
The Unseen
Sean Donovan
Nov 2013
We're surrounded by invisible forces, from neutrinos and radio waves passing through our bodies to gravitational and emotional forces pulling on us. In conversation with writer Sean Donovan, Luke Fischbeck and Sarah Rara of Los Angeles–based experimental art/music duo Lucky Dragons discuss the realms of the unseen and ways that science and mystery interact in their immersive art investigations.
Food Hazards
Nicole J. Caruth
Nov 2013
"If the perfect medium is bronze, which basically sits there forever, then food is on the exact opposite end of that continuum," says Jennifer Rubell. She should know, having created edible art installations using everything from ribs to cotton candy—but impermanence is only the beginning. Safety laws, permits, and confronting perception about food's value are all challenges food artists must address.
Steve McQueen's Truth and Beauty
Rob Nelson
Oct 2013
Addressing criticisms that Steve McQueen's 12 Years a Slave prizes beauty over human emotion, Rob Nelson asks: "Doesn't commercial art by its very nature put an ornate frame around whatever it observes? What does it mean to say that the subject of slavery defies the sort of representation that invites a wide audience? Why shouldn't the 'fastidiously composed image' be used to help reveal messy truths?"
How Culture Shapes the Contemporary City
Paul Schmelzer
Oct 2013
With 80 percent of Americans now living in urban areas, and 6.5 billion people globally expected to do so by 2050, issues such as gentrification, economic justice, and sustainability are top of mind for artists and activists. Curator Nato Thompson discusses how this month's Creative Time Summit brings voices across disciplines together to explore the perils and promise presented by this new reality.
Xiu Xiu's Jamie Stewart on Art, Top Gun, and Danh Vo
John Valko
Oct 2013
Although they've never met, Xiu Xiu frontman Jamie Stewart says he feels "very bonded" to the father of artist Danh Vo—so much so that he's agreed to publicly sing a hit song from the film Top Gun in his honor. In conjunction with the opening of 9 Artists, Stewart will perform at the dedication of Tombstone for Phùng Vo (2010), a grave marker Vo created for his still-living father.
Visualizing American Power
Paul Schmelzer
Oct 2013
Examining US energy production and use for five years, photographer Mitch Epstein became fascinated by a pun: "electrical power came from political power, which came from corporate power—and civic power met up against all that." Here Epstein talks with Paul Shambroom, whose own photos examine issues from nuclear weapons to oil, about aesthetics, activism, and the work of connecting the dots of American power.

"I am so happy with my invitations. The quality of the paper is great...weighty and perfectly textured. The design is so elegant. The only thing I would say is that they are smaller than I expected but I was reading that's that is a good thing as it saves on postage! Service was also prompt and a pleasant experience."
"Absolutely beautiful. It was really easy to customize the wedding invite. My designer did a great job of brining my ideas to life. I really wanted to be able to include our parents in the invite and the designer came up with a great solution and moved a few things around. The invite is exactly what we wanted. Thank you so much!"
"We LOVED these wedding invites from the second we saw them and got tons of positive feedback! I love the subtle color variations in the leaf designs (we used the green option - we were having an outdoor summer wedding) and think the font colors complimented it nicely. The only change we made was to put the phrase "reception to follow"and the "and" between our names into Willa Bold font rather than the script font. We were sent proofs promptly, and the designer listened to our suggestions. Overall, the printing quality was excellent, the invites arrived in a timely manner and just as advertised, and the paper was fantastic. What helped most was that we ordered sample invitations from WPD (8 for free) and they send you a super helpful paper stock sample guide. I would highly recommend doing this, because it shows you exactly what you're going to get! Overall, we were super happy with the invitations!"
"This card was absolutely beautiful. I had mine printed on pearl white paper with the shimmer and edged corners that matched the design on the card perfectly. I was looking for a card that had a whimsical feel to it without being too dramatic. This card was the perfect combination of elegance and simplicity. I was able to customize the color of one of the flowers (from Purple to Orange) without any problems. I received so many compliments on it, and I believe this was the perfect card for our special day."
"The invitation is perfect. Exactly what was described. I found a typo on the invitation AFTER we got them, but because it was a common word, that their design reviewer should have caught also, they reprinted them at no additional cost… and received the new invites 2 days after I called. That is OUTSTANDING customer service!"

Looking at today's TCM schedule, I notice that this week's Silent Sunday Nights feature is The Crowd, airing at midnight tonight. I mentioned all the way back in January 2009 when I blogged about The Crowd that it wasn't available on DVD. Surprisingly enough, even with the Warner Archive, it's still not available on DVD. So you're still going to have to catch the TCM showing, I'm sorry to say.
The Crowd is preceded at 10:00 PM by Lady in the Lake. I'm sorry to say that this is one of those movies I've never really been able to get into. Robert Montgomery directed himself in this set-at-Christmastime Philip Marlowe mystery. The problem with the movie is that it has the conceit of being told almost entirely from Marlowe's eyes. Now, I don't mean a first-person point of view in the way that something like the Humphrey Bogart version of The Maltese Falcon is. (A few scenes of The Maltese Falcon are strictly third-person, but not many.) I mean the camera angles are what the Philip Marlowe character would see. There are one or two exceptions: Marlowe has a narration in the beginning and another one halfway through the film or so. And there are a couple of mirror scenes where we see Marlowe's face. But the technique is so contrived that it makes the movie difficult to watch. Lady in the Lake, however, unlike The Crowd, has gotten a DVD release.

girly crafts
Here's hoping my 5 and 2 year-old nieces love bits of fabric and ribbon wrapped around clothespins. (I keep hearing the question,"What happened to their arms?" echo in my head.)
As with any project, there is a victim of my trial and error approach to craftsy stuff:
She's got her abnormally large eye on you!

oh my gosh that last doll will forever haunt my dreams

That's AWESOME!!! Hey, can I use your eye doll to be Dolly's friend? She would be a perfect addition to my sister's and my freaky doll collection. (Is it a collection if you only have one?)
Those dolls are cute, though. It almost makes me want to make them until I remember that I have a touch of the stomach flu and a billion unfinished projects that I should take care of before starting something new. maybe I will have to have you teach me how to do it when I come to Houston.... - 1:18 PM

Wow i just realized this is becoming a scary doll-themed blog. Inspiration has struck!

Hi there,
Found you via DesignMom & love the big eyed wonder doll :)
Had to comment since I have a soft spot for clothespin dolls. My grandma actually owned and ran a little doll museum and when we visited she would let us pick a clothespin doll. My favorite was Scarlett O'Hara. Or Alice in Wonderland.
As for the arms: I think I remember little pipe cleaner arms wrapped around the clothespin? Kind of fuzzy but maybe a nice little jacket would cover it. As if :) - 3:49 PM

PIPECLEANERS! Perfect! The next batch of dolls will be a little more anatomically correct (minus the freakishly small head size).

Cute!! I love them. And I remember doing that when I was a little girl.
I'm glad to hear that someone else gets into these crafty moods and just has to create something! I got into one such mood last weekend and have not stopped making little felt change purses and winter hats since Friday. I went and spent too much money at Michael's tonight too, assuring my husband that it would keep me busy for a year. But maybe more like a month at the rate I'm going. - 10:52 PM

Fun stuff, Rebecca! I am sure you probably already knew this but it was fun to see your dolls posted on Design Mom the other day...
