Making some allowance for hyperbole - Powys learned to read Welsh during his years at Blaenau Ffestiniog and allowed things Welsh to colour his own writing - his remark is fairly typical of the bewilderment many cultivated English people feel when first confronted by a literature which seems to be hermetically sealed as much by the language in which it is written as by the metrical forms on which it depends. Bewilderment sometimes turns to hostility in the minds of the London literary establishment: there are to be no entries for Welsh- language writers, not even those whose work has been translated, in the new edition of Margaret Drabble's Oxford Companion to English Literature, now in preparation.
But it is not as if writing in traditional Welsh forms is something antiquarian or arcane. Although there is primitive cynghanedd - what Gerard Manley Hopkins, who had studied the language, called "consonantal chiming" - in the earliest Welsh poetry dating from the sixth century, and although it was the stock-in-trade of the great medieval masters such as Dafydd ap Gwilym, a good deal of verse is written by contemporary poets according to the age-old rules.
That such writing has enjoyed a renaissance during the last 20 years is largely due to Cymdeithas Cerdd Dafod, the society for poets and others interested in this important aspect of Welsh culture, and in particular to Alan Llwyd, the brilliant poet, editor and its indefatigable secretary since its inception in 1976.
Among the many poets encouraged by Llwyd, and one who became a leading member of the society, and latterly its treasurer, was T. Arfon Williams. It says something about the vigour and appeal of the tradition that such a man could have had an interest in the writing of poetry at all. He was, for a start, born at Treherbert, in the Rhondda, a valley which in the 1930s retained only a vestige of the rich literary heritage associated with the heyday of the coal industry and the Nonconformist culture which had produced so many writers. It was the Welsh language which "saved him for the nation": he was brought up to speak it by parents, both teachers, who were devoted to the culture into which they had been born and who, unusually for that time and place, passed it on to Arfon and his sister Gwerfyl.
Nor did he come to poetry by the usual routes. He was, in fact, a dentist; he trained at King's College and King's College Hospital in London, where he was a house surgeon, and was later appointed Licentiate in Dental Surgery by the Royal College of Surgeons. His first job was with a general practice at Penmaenmawr in Caernarvonshire, and it was in the surgery that he met the woman who was to become his wife.
After spending four years as Dental Officer in his native Rhondda and another two in Swansea, in 1970 he was promoted to a similar post with an all-Wales remit at the Welsh Office and spent the rest of his working life as a civil servant, retiring in 1993. He was elected Chairman of the South Wales Branch of the British Paedodontic Society in 1969 and among the delights of his latter years was his Honorary Presidency of Cymdeithas Deintyddol Cymru, the society for Welsh-speaking dentists.
He lived for many years in Whitchurch, a suburb of Cardiff, where he was a neighbour of mine. A generous host, fond of late-night company, he took a keen pleasure in discussion of literary matters. His last home was at Caeathro, a village in Welsh-speaking Gwynedd where his wife's family had its roots.
Williams discovered an interest in Welsh poetic forms in 1974. He began attending an evening class in Cardiff and competing anonymously in the weekly newspaper Y Cymro, where his talent was recognised by the adjudicator, Alan Llwyd. He quickly won a reputation in the pages of Barddas, the monthly magazine, as a master of the englyn, the four-lined epigrammatic poem which has been popular among Welsh poets since about the ninth century. He had mastered the rules of Welsh prosody by dint of wide reading and with the help of other poets whose company he sought, no mean feat, for the rules are devilishly complicated.
There are at least six kinds of englyn, and as many variations of cynghanedd within the lines, but the basic rules can be roughly summarised as follows. The first two lines have ten and six syllables respectively, and the other two have seven each. There is usually a dash after the seventh syllable of the first line and that syllable announces the rhyme at the end of the other three. All four lines have assonance and are accented according to fixed rules so stringent that they make the haiku look as sophisticated as the limerick.
There have been many attempts to write englynion in English, and other languages, sometimes by poets as eminent as W.H. Auden and Robert Graves, but they are usually only forlorn attempts to capture the special effects of the form, rather than true imitations. Few have taken the advice of Wallis Evans to heart:
An englyn's just like angling - cast
a line
For fine bits of writing.
Alliterate your lett'ring,
See that your consonants sing
Williams was so accomplished an exponent that he not only wrote immaculate englynion in Welsh, often memorably, but could also turn them out in "the thin language" (as English is known in Welsh) when he wanted to illustrate what the form requires. Furthermore, he made a point of demonstrating the superiority of his craft by casting his verse as a single sentence and, putting aside all jokiness. Many of his tenderest verses were addressed to his wife, Einir, "gem o wraig ddigymar" ("an incomparable jewel of a wife"), who was the muse in whom he found so much of his inspiration.
Here is an example of Williams's work in English illustrating the entry on the englyn which appears in The New Companion in the Literature of Wales (1998):
A bee in your flower bed - I alight
on the lips full-parted
of your fox-glove, beloved,
and am freely, fully fed.
The englyn, although miniaturist in length, can carry a powerful emotional charge and its very brevity and intricacy lend it a unique intensity. Williams exploited its potential to the full, writing on a variety of subjects (including the erotic) in a style which has been compared to the effect of oil on moving water, capable of more than one interpretation and reflecting whatever the reader brings to it. He also wrote chains of englynion addressing philosophical and social questions not usually found in this form, and even brought touches of cynghanedd into poems in the free metres. Unlike many of his fellow practitioners, he eschewed the obscure and the over-literary.
He published three collections: Englynion Arfon (1978), Annus Mirabilis (1984) and Cerddi Arfon (1996); and edited a symposium on the Welsh poetic craft, Yngln a Chrefft Englyna (1981), in which he contributed an essay exploring the creative process. For him the phenomenon of cynghanedd was the most precious part of the Welsh literary heritage and the sine qua non of what made a poet. He accepted its strict rules gladly, finding in them not the fetters of which lesser poets complain but a useful mould into which he could pour his words to marvellous effect. His best work - several hundred verses in all - is assured of a place in the standard anthology of 20th-century Welsh poetry when that book comes to be compiled.
His monograph on Cerdd Dafod (Welsh prosody), illustrated by many of his English englynion and commissioned by the University of Wales Press, had been virtually completed in the months before his death.
Arfon Williams was sustained during his last long illness by his devoted family and a Christian faith which never deserted him. A staunch Congregationalist, he was reverently elected President of the Union of Welsh Independents for the year 2000, and would have brought to that august office not only dignity and erudition but a delightful wit and genial personality which, in life, won him many friends. He will be commemorated in the time-honoured way - by his peers in the englyn form to which he devoted his rare talents.
Thomas Arfon Williams, dentist, civil servant and poet: born Treherbert, Glamorgan 17 May 1935; married 1963 Einir Wynn Jones (two sons, one daughter); died Bangor, Gwynedd 16 October 1998.

http://www.cbssports.com/collegefoot...igation-widensUNC kicks Brown, Burney off team as investigation widens
By Will Brinson
Special to CBSSports.com
Aug. 26, 2010
To say that things regarding the NCAA investigation in Chapel Hill heated up today would be an understatement -- Inside Carolina reported that UNC self-reported "academic issues pertaining to a tutor."
As soon as that happened, the proverbial mess hit the fan: Our own Dennis Dodd reported that the University will announce a "widening of an NCAA investigation" at the 7:30 ET news conference the school has scheduled.
That same tutor, according to reports from ESPN's Joe Schad and Inside Carolina's Greg Barnes, also (inexplicably) served as the nanny for UNC head coach Butch Davis.
A source has also told CBSSports.com that two players, cornerbacks Charles Brown and Kendrick Burney, have already been kicked off of the football team.
At this time, we cannot confirm whether or not those dismissals will be announced during Thursday night's press conference.
Additionally, the same source told CBSSports.com that "four players have been cleared and the rest are toast" -- meaning four of the defensive starters on Carolina's team.
Erin Summers of WRAL in Raleigh also reported that "it's all but four players on the starting defense who are involved in the academic infractions."
The information from our source falls right in line with the -- as yet unconfirmed -- reports that the majority of the defensive starters were removed from the first team reps during Carolina's closed practice, and that Chancellor Holden Thorp addressed the football team on the field earlier.
It is believed that Thorp, along with Davis and athletic director Dick Baddour, will be present at the news conference.
As a matter of interest only in the sense of reasonable practicality, the Las Vegas betting line for the UNC-LSU game has been removed from many online gambling sites.
So what are they saying that the tutor helped them cheat or something? That article was pretty meager explaining what the infraction was.
after Blake stepped down from his disastrous tenure as coach of OU he became a runner for Wichard, who's considered by many as one of the dirtiest agents out there (Wichard had taylor mays and everson griffen- word was he had paid out a combined $300K to the players over the past three years)...a runner is someone who "runs" and gets clients for the agent....wichard has been in the business for years- he represented old NY Jets like darrell ray back in the day before moving from NY (Long island i believe) and becoming hollywood...Amid NCAA probe, Blake steps down at UNC
(AP) – 1 hour ago
CHAPEL HILL, N.C. — John Blake has resigned his position on North Carolina's football staff, effective immediately, school officials said Sunday night.
Blake, who was in his fourth season working with Butch Davis, said in a statement issued by the school that he stepped down because "my presence has become a distraction" to the university.
"Consequently, I have determined that it is in the best interests of my family, the university community at large, and the football program for me to step down from my position as associate head football coach," Blake said.
The NCAA has spent much of the summer investigating whether defensive lineman Marvin Austin and receiver Greg Little received improper benefits from agents.
That probe has since expanded to include possible academic misconduct, and 13 players did not travel to Atlanta for Saturday night's game against LSU. Also drawing the NCAA's interest is Blake's longtime friendship with California-based agent Gary Wichard.
"Coach Blake had indicated to me in previous conversations that he would step down if he felt his presence with the football program would become a distraction," athletic director Dick Baddour said. "I know the young men he coached are tremendously disappointed, but Coach Davis and his staff will help and support them as the season moves forward."
Blake will be paid $74,500, an approximation of the salary he would have received had he finished the season, and it will be paid by football revenues, the school said in the statement. His contract, which includes an annual base salary of $240,000, would have expired June 30, 2011, the school said.
Blake used to trail Wichard at the senior bowl every year....wichard is also kentwan balmer's agent, who supposedly paid for marvin austin's trip...
the other "connection" ($$) wichard has is mel kiper....remember how mel kiper was so adamant that jimmy clausen was the best QB in last April's draft and kept claiming he was going to be an early first round pick when even the novice had come to terms Bradford was the number one passer??? clausen is represented by wichard...(google gary wichard and mel kiper, see what you find)...
Damn i thought Blake was going to herd some of them Tar heel D-lineman the Jets way.
UNC, not historically a football powerhouse played fairly well on Saturday night all things considered.
Alumnus that E mail the local sports staion here in Charlotte NC are like 95 to 5 in favor of being 3 and 6 rather than embarassed this way.
For those of you have never been to Chapel Hill...it is a special place. It MAKES you drink the kool aid, powder blue of course.

On second thought, it was actually Sunday. Still feels like Monday to me. So not just yesterday, but still, very recent.
He's really excited to explore his options. We were both really clear with one another that we would be looking for relationships, not casual sex or flings, and that like any relationship, these may or may not work out.
I'm pretty prepared for jealousy, I think. It's definitely a possibility, almost an inevitability, really. We have lots of experience with jealousy from when our relationship was younger. We weren't as open and honest with one another as we are now, and there was this whole period of time where we were either dancing on the edge of cheating or dating other people during "breaks". There was this whole on-again-off-again phase. We made a lot of mistakes, but we worked hard to rebuild when we finally came out on the other side. We've got over four years, maybe closer to five years of stability under our belts since then, but the history is there, and we did address that during our conversations (i.e., "Remember when this was going on, and you told me X, but then you did Z? Do you think that could be a problem again? What makes it different now?").
Honestly, given our history, even though it's long past, I'm very pleasantly surprised that he IS being this open and apparently comfortable.
I think what I would prefer is a long term relationship, but I know there's no way of predicting how long any relationship will last. I am fluttery over OG (yes, I need to pick a better nickname, LOL!) right now, but I think regardless of whether or not he turns out to be a good fit for me within the context of my relationship with DF, I'll be glad to have the freedom of knowing that if another attraction to somebody does arise, I don't have to squelch it deep down inside me somewhere, feeling guilty for even thinking about it. I'm not looking to hop in bed with anybody (OK, maybe OG.
Someday. Maybe. OK that's the flutteries talking! Ignore! Ignore!
), but to have the potential for meaningful interactions that may lead to something more long term.

New X35.
1 Attachment(s)
We are looking forward to some warmer weather, after a long Chicago winter. We ordered up an X35 this year to replace a brilliant old Barefoot Nautique, as the family is now too large for a direct drive. We feel the X35 is the appropriate equipment to provide a proper tube-tow for our fleet of discriminating children. They demanded a world-class tow-boat for their frequent 3-man tubing missions.
Many thanks to Dalton over at Gage Marine for helping with our specific build requests. This is what we came up with: |
I really like how the teak platform blends so well with the color scheme. VERY nice!
wait...are you from vancouver? forget the thanks. may the canucks die a violent, merciless death at the hands of some hockey team from tennessee. even if you're not a hockey fan, i don't believe we can ever be friends. the difference between WA and BC are indistinguishable to Chicagoans. |
That is awesome, I am sure there will always be next year for the Blackhawks... |
Beauty. Nice color choices.
Nice X35 and welcome. Looks like gocougs is from the city of Vancouver, in the State of Washington, Not Vancouver British Columbia in the country of Canada. Sorry about the loss, but a good game any way. Hey gocougs...GO DAWGS!!
don't try to type an answer just use 1 for yes and 1 for you don't understand and we'll take that for a yes |
Love the mocha interior. Nice boat!

LASALLE — The Washington wrestling team added another piece of history to an already historic season Tuesday night, with a 46-24 victory against No. 9 Sandwich in the Class 2A LaSalle-Peru Dual Team Sectional.
Three days after earning five medals and putting four wrestlers in title matches at individual state, No. 6 Washington (16-8) became the first Journal Star area large-school team to reach the dual-team state finals in 27 years. Pekin made the quarters in 1987.
The Panthers face No. 1 ranked Lombard Montini, winner of six consecutive state titles, in a 9 a.m. quarterfinal Saturday at U.S. Cellular Coliseum in Bloomington.
The Panthers won 10 of the 14 matches, receiving pins from Lane Weaver (3 minutes, 14 seconds at 126), Ryder Punke (3:58 at 132), 152-pound state champ Randy Meneweather (in 41 seconds) and Kyle Stratton (2:58 at 182). Dack Punke (8-2 at 106), Ethan Reel (11-7 at 113) and Jacob Warner (13-8 at 160) claimed decisions. Jake Godinez contributed a major decision at 220 (12-3) and 182 state champ Colin Carr went up a weight and won by forfeit.
Class 1A
GIBSON CITY — Illini Bluffs saw its season come to an end, after a 45-36 loss to No. 14 LeRoy in a 1A sectional matchup.
LeRoy won the first six matches (three via pin and two by forfeit) to open up a 33-0 lead. IB junior Jake Worms stopped the streak with a pin in 1:15 at 120, to earn his 100th career win. The Tigers' only other victory came from Cole Watkins at 132 (1:35 pin). LeRoy forfeited the final four weights after securing enough team points.

Flight Simulator X
Just keep saying to yourself, "It's only a virtual world. It's only a virtual world.."
Flight Simulator 10 (FSX) was released on October 17, 2006, and like its predecessors – it's as real as it gets.
Microsoft went back to a two version packaging: standard and deluxe. Of course the deluxe has more stuff. Of course everyone's gonna want to get the deluxe – duh!
At last glance (about 60 seconds ago) the deluxe retails for $69.99. The best deal I saw was tigerdirect.com at $59.99.
Although MS didn't say it won't run great on XP systems, they do recommend a Vista PC – or one that is Vista compliant. (Vista hasn't even officially been release yet!) For this reason I think it wise to hold off on FSX until I have a new screaming Vista to enjoy my VFR vistas.
Florida's campus killer calmly awaits execution
GAINESVILLE, Florida (AP) — Danny Harold Rolling, Florida's most notorious serial killer since Ted Bundy, was "remarkably calm" as he awaited his execution for the grisly 1990 slayings of five college students in Gainesville, his attorney said Tuesday.
Rolling's lawyers filed papers with the U.S. Supreme Court seeking a stay of execution. The Florida attorney general asked the court to reject Rolling's application.
Rolling, 52, is scheduled to die at 6 p.m. Wednesday for a reign of terror that paralyzed Gainesville as the University of Florida's fall semester was beginning 16 years ago.
I started my freshmen year at University of Florida in 1990. I arrived in Gainesville 3 days before the first body was found. I remember many people (especially girls) were running scared – dropping out of college and moving back home – after this happened. It's good to finally see justice being carried out.
(CNN) — Danny Harold Rolling, Florida's most notorious serial killer since Ted Bundy, died singing.
He was executed by injection Wednesday evening for the grisly murders of five college students during a 1990 spree that terrorized the college town of Gainesville, Florida.
Rolling, 52, was pronounced dead at 6:13 p.m., said Robby Cunningham, a spokesman for the Florida Department of Corrections.

Stark: Cardinals on the verge of historic upset
"ST. LOUIS — It isn't quite a miracle. And it sure hasn't been a classic. But there's a word for what the St. Louis Cardinals are on the verge of doing to the New York Mets. History."
"You had the 1906 Cubs (a ridiculous 116-36) tumbling to the crosstown White Sox (93-58) in the World Series. You had the 1954 Indians (111-43) falling to Willie Mays' Giants (97-57). And you had the 2001 Mariners (116-46) crumbling in the ALCS at the hands of those four-time champs from the Bronx (95-65).
And that's it.
Until now.

Abayomi Azikiwe, Editor of the Pan-African News Wire, to Lead Class on Expanding U.S. Military Intervention in Africa
The Pentagon is increasing its military involvement on the African continent. With the founding of the U.S. Africa Command (AFRICOM) in 2008, the imperialists have poured more money and military personnel into Uganda, Somalia, Mali, Egypt, the Gulf of Aden and the Gulf of Guinea.
There have been war games by the U.S. military in West Africa and threats to engage in more aggressive actions against Somalia in order to prop-up the puppet Transitional Federal Government. In addition there are ongoing U.S. efforts to destabilize Zimbabwe, Sudan and Nigeria.
This intervention is taking place at the same time that increasing amounts of oil are being imported into the U.S. from Africa, which has outstripped the Middle-East in the supply of petroleum to North America. This emphasis on military and profit-making ventures is redirecting resources away from much needed development assistance in the areas of healthcare, public service, education, women's affairs, agricultural development and mounting food deficits in the Sahel and in East Africa.
Come out and join this important discussion which has serious implications for the anti-war movement in the United States and Western Europe.
There will also be a report back from the MECAWI delegation that attended the United National Anti-War Conference held in Albany, N.Y. between July 23-25.
Admission to the class in free. Light refreshments will be served.

The Eleventh HOPE DVD Full Set
We try our best to keep prices minimal. You may have already noticed the low cost of our individual DVDs. But that gets even better when you order a full set. Not to mention the fact that you'll be getting more than 100 DVDs that will hold your attention until the next conference and allow you to do what nobody at HOPE X was able to accomplish: see it all.

Kyle-Anne Shiver has this great post over at The PJ Tattler about our "hoped-for" dear comrade leader. I'm passing it along in its entirety because it's short and says it all better than I could.
Well, here's another Obama first, ladies and gents. Like the Peace Prize awarded on the wings of hope in Obama's ethereal glow, now various open-government organizations have given the One an award for — hold your breath and count slowly to ten — hoped for "transparency." A mere week after the most transparent administration in the history of the world was trying to explain why a Biden advance team would confine a lone reporter to a storage room to keep him from mingling with Party fat-cats in Florida, the glorious bastion of open-government moguls decide to preemptively award President Obama with the "transparency" award.
But that's not the juiciest bit of this. The award was supposed to be given at a public ceremony at the White House with press pool and photographers, but the president decided to cancel all that "transparency" and go with a closed-door, private meeting without a single member of the press in attendance to receive his "transparency" award.
Politico has the whole story here.
Steve Aftergood, the director of the Project on Government Secrecy at the Federation of American Scientists, gave Politico the best quote:
"And in that sense, one could say it resembles the award at the Nobel Peace Prize," Aftergood said. "It's not because Obama brought peace to anyone but because people hoped he would be a force for good in the world, and maybe that's the way to understand this award."
So, here's the Obama Standard applied in little Johnny's world: Darling Johnny, following the example set by the President of the U.S., we're not going to wait for you to learn your lessons or take your tests before giving you your report card. You look so swell, talk so brightly and sit up so straight and tall at your desk. So, we're putting all our hope in you and giving you all A's right this minute in the hope that you'll be so overjoyed that you'll actually earn them at some point in the future.
Then, we can apply the Obama Standard to earning salaries and give glowing book reviews before the books are written. Hope is such an amazing thing, isn't it?
What a load of poppycock. The world has gone nuts.
Somewhere, Orwell is standing with his mouth agape.
This, apparently, is what "hope" is all about.

Since there was no Steelers game this past week (and hence no Stache Report), I'm going to just post some random NFL thoughts. I may continue to do these every now and then, depending on time issues.
- Want one more reason to despise the Patriots? Their recent penchant for accumulating garbage touchdowns and running up the score is a good one. What the hell are you doing attempting to score a touchdown when you're up 17 points with 19 seconds left? Of course, the national media will gloss over this fact. If any other team were doing this, we'd be hearing cries from the talking heads of "Where's the sportsmanship!?" and Joe Buck's head would probably explode.
- Speaking of the talking heads, I love how all of them are now saying that the Ravens defense is back. Listen, the last two weeks they have faced an anemic 49ers offense led by Trent Dilfer and an even worse combo in the Rams and Gus Frerotte. I still worry about the Ravens, because I think their front 7 can give our O-line fits, but I feel more confident about how we matchup with them than I did at the beginning of the season. I just hope Kyle Boller starts when we play them. Say all you want about Steve McNair, but that guy almost always plays lights out when facing the Steelers. I really don't need to see another 25-30, 305 yards, 3 TD performance from McNair against our defense.
- Who would have thought the Browns would be on their way up and the Bengals on their way down. We were lucky to face the Browns in week 1, when they still didn't have an identity and the incomparable Charlie Frye was at the helm. Now, with steady quarterback play from Derek Anderson and explosive targets in Braylon Edwards and Kellen Winslow, the Stains offense doesn't look so bad. A defense heavy draft next year, and they could be back in the playoff hunt. As for the Bengals, it's amazing the sense of entitlement these guys have. One good season, and they think they are kings of the NFL. After their loss to the Chiefs on Sunday, Douchemanzadeh felt it was necessary to state that the Bengals were better than the teams they were being beaten by. Newsflash, dickhead. You're not. You're defense sucks balls, and you're players have no discipline. Please Anthony Smith, lay this motherfucker out one more time when we play them two Sundays from now.
- The AFC South is the best division in football. We all know about the Colts, but the Titans and Jaguars are capable of beating anyone on any day with their defenses. And the Texans will start to play much better once they get Andre Johnson back. Would anyone be surprised if both wildcard berths come from this division? If you're going to assume that the Patriots and Colts will gets byes, then the Steelers could very well host either Tennessee or Jacksonville on Wild Card weekend.
- I like the move by the Chargers to trade for Chris Chambers. He'll add a vertical threat to their offense and take off some of the pressure from LT and Gates. But I just can't get past the Norv Turner factor. I don't think that team is going to the playoffs, and it isn't because of lack of talent, it's because of Norv.
- Can the Giants make a run at winning the NFC East? They're sitting at 4-2, with games coming up against San Francisco and Miami. That leads up to a week 10 tilt with the Cowboys. With how putrid the NFC is, it wouldn't be all that shocking to see the Giants in the Super Bowl. I don't think it's going to happen, and if they did they would just get creamed by whatever AFC opponent they face, but it shows how far they've come since that week 2 pasting at the hands of the Packers.
- As for the Packers, I'm not going to buy into them until they show they can run the ball. You are not going to win in January if you can't run the ball. And the Packers can't. Brett Favre is playing great, as is the defense, but name me the last Super Bowl winner that had no threats in the run game. Many felt that Green Bay should have addressed the issue before the trade deadline passed today by acquiring Chargers RB Michael Turner. However, it would have likely cost them a first round pick and a brand new shiny contract. Not worth it in my opinion. Marshawn Lynch would have been perfect for them if the Bills hadn't snatched him up before the Packers got a chance to pick.
- I don't think the Saints are out of it. Yet. At 1-4, they're still 2.5 games back of division leading Tampa Bay and Carolina. But let's be honest. If Carolina is forced to go with Vinny Testaverde for a long period of time, it's not going to end well. As Peter King noted in his MMQB column, yeah, it's a great story. But he's still 43 years old, and that's going to catch up with him when defenses start bringing the house. The Buccaneers are playing solid ball, but they'll be starting Earnest Graham at running back for the foreseeable future. If teams start to double cover Joey Galloway, will the Bucs have enough offense to stay competitive? The Saints absolutely have to win both of their remaining games against these two teams though to have a chance. It's a long shot, but if their performance on Sunday night is any indication, they're not dead yet.
- The NFC West is a mess. The starting quarterbacks in this division, as of now, are: Tim Rattay, Gus Frerotte, Trent Dilfer, and a struggling Matt Hasslebeck. The Rams and 49ers are all but done, which means it's a two horse race between the Cardinals and Seahawks. I'll take the Seahawks, only because Rattay is now entrenched as the starter in Arizona with the injuries to Leinart and Warner. But make no mistake, the Seahawks stink and do not deserve to make the playoffs.
- As of this posting, this is the poll that is currently up on the NFL.com homepage. I love it. Keep disrespecting the Steelers. They play much better when they're the underdogs.

Random NFL Thoughts From the Stache
- Discouraging gambling note of the week: As some of you may have read in the comments section of another post, the Stache is downright struggling this year in his NFL gambling endeavors. Last year, I could do no wrong, going seven straight weeks with positive gains to end the season. This year, I feel like I've been stabbed in the chest with a rusty, serrated knife. Almost a month ago, I placed money on the Colts at –6.5 against the Texans. The Colts won by 6. Last week, for the Bills-Cowboys Monday Night tilt, I placed money on the Bills money line. We all saw what happened. This week, I put my faith in the Bears, at home giving 4.5 points against the Vikings. Down 31-17, the Bears come back and score two touchdowns in the closing minutes to close the gap. I think I'm heading to overtime, with a chance at the cover. But then, Adrian Peterson returns the kickoff to the Bears 38, and Ryan Longwell nails a 54-yard field goal as time expires. I hate gambling.
- Finally, today (or depending on when you are reading this, yesterday) is the one-year anniversary of one of the greatest coaching rants in the history of sports. I'm talking, of course, about the now infamous Denny Green "THEY ARE WHO WE THOUGHT THEY WERE!!!" rant. As soon as it happened, it immediately joined Herm Edwards "You play to win the game" speech and Jim Mora's "PLAYOFFS!?" diatribe in the pantheon of coaching tirades. I can't even tell you how many times Pat and I have referenced this legendary moment from the career of Denny Green. As a gift, here is the video. Enjoy:

In 2016, Glow in the Park will be adding a new glowing theme for our events! We are super psyched to head back to the 80's! Dude, it would be so totally lame if you didn't, like, get in the mood and party hardy with us. So come check out our wicked fresh beats and rad hairdos. But don't be a poser and leave your killer leg warmers at home. You'll miss your chance to win the tubular costume contest! Yes, we said costume contest! And, like duh, we'll have plenty of cool 80's accessories to fix you up with if you can't find any.

Here's a chilling Ryder Cup thought; were the European team to be announced today, none of Rory McIlroy, Luke Donald, Lee Westwood or Graeme McDowell would be on it without a captain's pick. Since there are only three of those, something had better change for Europe's front-line warriors if they are to guarantee selection at Gleneagles next September.
The world is turning. Frenchman Victor Dubuisson, a winner in Turkey and third at the DP World Tour Championship in Dubai last week, Spain's Gonzalo Fernandez-Castano, Joost Luiten of the Netherlands and late-developing Welshman Jamie Donaldson are the early candidates to accompany serial winner Henrik Stenson, FedEx Cup winner and Race to Dubai champion, and Ian Poulter, both of whom would have to disappear over the Bermuda Triangle not to make Paul McGinley's team.
McIlroy, Donald and Westwood have not won this year. The good news is all three finished in a share of fifth in Dubai, suggesting a corner has been turned. Donald's swing changes under his new coach are beginning to bear fruit. McIlroy is at last achieving consistency. Westwood showed with a 65 on Saturday that when the putts drop he is always a factor. His problem this year has been getting the ball close, a detail he will be attending to on his return to Florida.
"I've not been playing very well. I've not been hitting it close and not been making anything. My swing hasn't been in sync all year, I'm sort of fumbling my way around the golf course and it's something I'm going to work on over the winter, but I can build on the momentum this week has given me," Westwood said.
Donald can hardly wait for the year to end. "I'm looking forward to a fresh start," he said. "There's something about when that date changes to 1 January and you can start over. Thirteen has not been a lucky number for me."

In brief: Some individual moments are good, but overall it's an
unsatisfactory way to "wrap up" this series.
Plot description: Searching for insights before making a tough decision,
Commander Riker of the Enterprise NCC-1701-D looks back via a holodeck
recording to the final mission of the Enterprise NX-01.
Star Trek: Enterprise - "These Are the Voyages..."
Airdate: 5/13/2005 (USA)
Written by Rick Berman & Brannon Braga
Directed by Allan Kroeker
Review by Jamahl Epsicokhan
Rating out of 4: **
"Computer, end program." -- "Star Trek: Enterprise" signing off with a
stunning anticlimax
One of the interesting things about Star Trek after 39 years is how the
library and time settings have grown so expansive, and yet so familiar, that
storylines can drop us into the middle of wherever (and whenever) and we
instantly recognize where (and when) we are. We don't bat an eye, because we
realize that, hey, here we are in TNG's seventh-season episode "The
Pegasus," which happened 11 years ago and now is happening again (for us,
anyway). In Star Trek, it's almost a natural occurrence. Timelines don't
matter for the audience because Star Trek, at this point, is happening
simultaneously in all forms at all times, as a part of the imagination.
"These Are the Voyages" knows this about Star Trek, and that's somehow
comforting. Flashback, flash-forward, whatever you want to call it: In this
universe it's a perfectly appropriate approach that allows for an unusual
way of telling a story. And, more than that, it demonstrates how Star Trek
itself has transcended its own mythos and exists as a larger-than-life
milieu, TV ratings and box-office sales notwithstanding.
On any other day, that would be what we might see is being demonstrated
here. On this particular day, however -- on which "Star Trek: Enterprise" is
airing its final episode and the franchise itself is going away for the
first time since TNG started 18 years ago -- I'm not so sure it works. Check
that; I *know* it doesn't work -- not as presented. What I don't know is
whether it *could've* worked given better execution. I suspect it maybe
The central conceit of "These Are the Voyages" is that it's actually framed
as a TNG episode (I'm tempted to call it "Pegasus 1.5") in which Commander
Riker looks at a holodeck program depicting the crew of the NX-01 on their
final mission before the signing of the charter that will eventually form
the United Federation of Planets.
The central problem with "These Are the Voyages" is that, really, this
doesn't make any emotional sense as a series finale for Enterprise. Riker
looks at events in order to gain insight about himself (a recommendation
from Counselor Troi), and to decide what to do about the central dilemma he
faced/faces in "The Pegasus." In short, he's using the NX-01 crew as a tool
to resolve a personal conflict. Wouldn't it have been better for this
premise to simply look back at the NX-01 crew to study it as history, as a
turning point in human society? By making the show about Riker's personal
problem, the show painfully short-changes the historical context of the
NX-01 crew. Granted, the historical context is a focus in the episode, but
it really doesn't have much to do with William Riker (or vice versa).
I guess it's just as well that Enterprise was canceled, because by the looks
of things from what this episode tells us -- which takes place six years
after the events of "Terra Prime" -- nothing of any significance would've
have happened in the course of the next six hypothetical seasons of this
series. The members of the Enterprise crew are not going to change. Not.
One. Single. Bit. Hell, they don't even look any older. Forget six years;
this episode might as well take place six *weeks* after "Terra Prime."
Quite frankly, that's depressing. If the narrative is going to move forward
several years into the future, couldn't it at least show that the characters
have changed ... even a little? TNG's finale, "All Good Things," and
Voyager's finale, "Endgame," both showed hypothetical futures in which
characters had moved on to new things. But here, Sato is still a
communications officer, Mayweather is still a helmsman (both are apparently
still ensigns, which is just ridiculous), Trip is still the chief engineer,
and so on. Everyone is exactly where they were six years earlier, and there
isn't even so much as a hint that they've advanced during that time.
What about Mayweather's talk in "Demons" about reconsidering his personal
options and possibly moving back to Earth? I guess it was just that -- talk.
And what about Trip and T'Pol, who went through the agonizing loss of their
child in "Terra Prime"? You might think that their relationship would've
evolved after such an emotional turning point. But from the looks of things,
they've soldiered on in neutrality for the last six years ... until the
prospect of the crew now about to split up forces them to take stock of
their relationship one last time. One would hope that they haven't been
spending the last six years playing Will They or Won't They. If they have,
we can at least be glad we didn't have to watch it.
And yet the framing device of TNG is somehow comforting. I grew up on TNG
and will always have a soft spot for it, and there's something reassuring
about the idea of future generations looking back upon the past. Several
sets from TNG have been reproduced for a number of scenes aboard the
Enterprise-D, much the way the TOS sets were reproduced for "In a Mirror,
Darkly." The emotional nostalgia is present and accounted for. There's also
a new CG version of the Enterprise-D that looks great.
But there's a built-in problem with the use of flashback for the
storytelling, which is that the scenes don't gain any momentum. Every time
we start getting into the scenes involving the NX-01, Riker pauses the
program, or fast-forwards to later in the day, or inserts himself into the
story, until we're all too aware that he's literally driving the narrative
and that none of these events are actually happening, except in a holodeck.
There's also the bigger problem of the historical record, which is to say,
most of this shouldn't even exist on record. There are private conversations
here that couldn't be a part of any record, unless they were reproduced from
published memoirs or extrapolated from someone's subjective interpretation.
There can be no objective truth in a recording like this -- at least as far
as private conversations go -- and we begin to realize that we must be
watching the 24th-century equivalent of a made-for-TV movie in which the
narrative is "based on a true story." After getting over the initial
gee-whiz effect of TNG settings, the holodeck framing device gradually
becomes a distraction and a big liability for the events being depicted.
The final mission of the Enterprise before it returns to Earth to sign the
charter is less than enthralling. It involves Shran coming to Archer and
asking for help (Archer, of course, owes him) to rescue his kidnapped
daughter from some aliens whom he'd had some vague dealings with. They want
something that might best be described as this week's MacGuffin, because it
certainly has no more relevance than that. This leads to some typically
generic action scenes with a less-than-epic scope, hardly befitting a series
finale. It's perhaps ironic that Shran is the only character in the story to
have changed in any significant way in six years (he has a family), while
the human characters have apparently all become mechanical slaves to their
Foreshadowing alert: Troi in the holodeck mentions how Trip doesn't know he
won't return from this mission. Trip sacrifices himself in the course of the
episode to save Archer. It might be called a heroic sacrifice, if not for
the sheer incompetence of how it's depicted. First there's the whole
silliness of how the aliens so swiftly get aboard the Enterprise after we've
already been told the Enterprise is safe. Then there's the way the hostage
situation actually plays out -- underwritten and overplayed -- with Trip
flipping out, knocking Archer down, and then leading the aliens to a panel
where he pulls out a cable and blows himself up along with the bad guys.
This is painfully contrived and poorly, ham-handedly executed. It's exactly
as if Trip had said to himself, "Well, this is where I've been preordained
by an already-written history to sacrifice myself, so let's git 'er done!"
How many times have we seen exactly this sort of crisis situation play out,
where the Enterprise crew is always able to figure out how to cleverly
escape -- but not this time, simply because the plot demands that Trip die.
This is not a satisfying death scene for a major character by any stretch of
the imagination. It borders on goofy.
Similarly, the all-too-muted reaction to Trip's demise is puzzling. Archer
consoles T'Pol, but the episode never stops to think that maybe it should be
the other way around, considering how Archer has been best friends with Trip
for countless years and T'Pol is, well, a Vulcan. There's no funeral, no
service, nothing -- at least, not on-camera. Perhaps funerals, services,
etc., have been done to death and are seen as cliche, but you simply can't
purport a heroic death of a major character and then not deal with it.
All that said, the level of downright hate for this episode is strangely
fascinating. Jolene Blalock famously called it "appalling" in an interview,
and fans denounced it on the Internet as an unmitigated travesty -- sight
unseen -- weeks before it even aired.
Personally, I find the vitriolic bile leveled at this episode (and the
vilification of Berman and Braga in particular) from the Internet Trek
community to be somewhat over-the-top. Judging by comments I've seen on
message boards, you'd think Berman and Braga had strolled into a hospital
nursery and murdered a room full of newborn babies. No, this episode does
not work, but is it the worst episode of Enterprise ever made? Worse than
"Precious Cargo" or "Bound" or "A Night in Sickbay" or a dozen others?
Hardly. This isn't even the worst episode this season. It's a mediocre show
with some highlights and lowlights. The episode itself probably would've
fared better had the concept not unfortunately also served as the series
What's kind of sad is that the episode is actually, genuinely well-intended.
It has general ideas and sentiments and historical perspectives that are in
the true spirit of Star Trek. It's just that the generalities are not
adequately developed as specific ideas for the Enterprise characters, and
the show ultimately comes across as an ill-executed, ponderous,
miscalculated melding of two Trek series, neither of which comes into real
focus. Like much of Enterprise as a series, it doesn't stop and ask: Who are
these people, exactly? What do they want out of life? What makes them tick?
Perhaps it's not about the individuals but about the state of the
Federation -- but even then, I was left confused because this story seems to
make a distinction between the alliance being formed here and what will
ultimately become the Federation. My thinking is, if we're going to
fast-forward six years, why aren't we seeing the *actual* Federation charter
being signed? Perhaps I'm confused.
And perhaps that confusion is justified. The whole episode builds up to a
speech that Archer is scheduled to deliver, and just as he's walking out to
deliver it, Riker interrupts with, "Computer, end program." The sound you
heard immediately after that line was fans across the country throwing
objects at their television sets. Perhaps ending two episodes in a row with
a speech by Archer would not have been ideal, but the anticlimax of ending
the story *before* the would-be dramatic payoff is just flat-out wrong.
As a final act of redemption, "These Are the Voyages" does get the last 30
seconds right, with a series-melding montage that blends TNG, TOS, and
Enterprise, with three captains speaking the famous Star Trek mantra. It's
the right note for an episode that contains a number of wrong ones.
And that's how Trek comes to an end after a run of 18 consecutive years --
with a somewhat ponderous whimper that still manages to show its
self-affection. Maybe too much misdirected affection for TNG. And not enough
for the characters we've been watching for the past four seasons.

quick question:
Are you 21
or over?
or over?
"Recycle all those old docs in your file cabinet. Turn the empty drawer into a bar. You're welcome."
We love a super-refreshing G&T, especially since discovering the secret to making a standout version whenever the mood strikes.
It's not just about the ingredients (although those are certainly key!), it's also about freshness. By using a tonic syrup and then adding your own seltzer, you get a fizzy, flavorful drink every time, even if you're only drinking for one.
This awesome gift bag comes packed with a traditionally flavored gin (juniper dominant) and a botanical-forward, American-style gin. We also include two of our favorite indie tonic syrups. Jack Rudy Tonic Syrup uses traditional quinine for a cocktail that is slightly sweet, fragrant with lemongrass, and only mildly bitter. Tomr's creative interpretation uses cinchona bark instead, giving it an earthier, root-ier flavor with a more pronounced bitterness. We love 'em both!
And because we're all about getting creative, we've added our favorite secret ingredient: a bottle of Hella Bitter Citrus Bitters. Is it 5 o'clock yet?
In a collins glass, combine 1.75 oz of gin, .5 oz tonic syrup and a generous squeeze of lime. Add ice and a dash of citrus bitters, top with soda water, stir and drink up!
Our favorite bartenders tell us that the gin and tonic owes its existence to the army of the British East India Company. They were required to take a daily allotment of bitter quinine, a compound, to protect them from malaria (talk about a bitter pill). So, British officers started mixing it with water, sugar, lime and gin, to make their medicine a little, well, easier to swallow.
We're not huge fans of the British imperialism part, but cocktail as medicine? Totally dig it. Doctor's orders!

Some spring break cum... yummmmmy
I do, I do
I prefer F/F/CD, or M/M/CD or F/M/CD. Heck, I like them all. I haven't had a threesome I didn't like. Just some better than others.
Oh, yes. I love that warm sloppy feeling. There is nothing better for a job well done.
This gurl not only likes it, she loves it.
Since I live on the beach in Florida, it is great bikini weather. It is in the high 90s.
Yes, I have and will do it again and again and again.....
Oh yes. We do it quite often. We have a couple styles of strapon, but the one she loves the most is one that also has a vib that goes in her pussy and is also a strapon. When she has it on, I control the vib while she is fucking me, the faster I have it vibrate the faster and harder she fucks me. The second favorite is one that cums, she has me swallow sooooooo much come from that 8" dildo.
Trimmed/shaved in shape of a heart.
I absolutely love to lick pussy and shame on you guys who think you are above totally pleasing your woman. And pleasing her just doesn't mean sticking your cock in her. As I find I love cock, there is other aspects of love making.I'm sure you would be first in line for a BJ you should always return the favor if you think your partner would like it.What is good for the goose is good for the gander.
Swallow all the way.
The perfect pussy? The one I'm licking. I haven't met one I didn't lick, oh I mean like.
Black lace with pink ribbons.
Actually, no. I always do it for free. I might have to change my thought process.
Yes, it is always good to own your own company. Full access to the building when ever you want. We have had great parties late evenings.
Yes, and have done it. We had a great time.
I am trimmed in the shape of a heart.
Always, there is nothing like the feeling of my 8 strap garterbelt holding up FF stockings. Oh, don't forget the high heels.
It really depends if I have company coming over on their way to work. If I do, then it is about 3am, I need 3 hours to get ready for some morning fun. If not, I get to sleep till 7 as I only work part time.
Yes,yes,yes. They are the best to hug with.
Would I, and have, numerous times. Thank you Shannon and Paul for some fantastic times. I love you both.
Yes, she/we have 4 dildos that range from 7" to 11". All depends what mood she is in when she gets ready. She loves to wear the 11" while out shopping and she will rub it up against me while we are in line, or she has me jerk her off in the car. We even have one that spurts, she fills me with her own recipe of cum. She loves to take on the role. The longer she wears it, the hornier she gets and the harder she uses it on me.
Trimmed, in shape of a heart.
Would I? Yes. And have, it was great.
My 40DDs. ( o )( o )
Oh yes, always. There is nothing sexier to have a matching bra and thong.
40DD ( O )( O )All un-naturalWeekends they are glued on, other times they are resting in a sexy bra. Either way, I love them.
During the week, I mostly wear boy shorts and thongs. During the weekends, the kind of underwear is determined by the bra I'm going to wear. I alway match the underwear with the bra i decide to wear. That is important to me to be matching.

It works just fine. Try pasting the following into your url bar: javascript:alert("ZBBBCZZ".match(/((.)\2*)/g))
That should alert the output of .toString() called on the array result. javascript:alert(("ZBBBCZZ".match(/((.)\2*)/g)).toSource()) -David Update: Does that imply that Javascript has different capture semantics than perl?

Circuits Monday 6.15pm St Endas (run at 5.30 leaving the school car park).
Some people struggled to find the PE hall at the school last week so I have attached a map. I will meet you at the side entrance to the school. Come in through the main gate then take the first right and follow the road round to the back of the school. We had a decent start last week doing a mixture of core and strength work, and exercises designed to improve speed and agility. 4 euro with all funds going to towards the completion of a 200m cinder track on the school grounds. Hope to see you there. Matt

The role of health insurance in joint retirement among married couples
This paper examines the role of employer provided health insurance in the retirement decisions of dual working couples. The near elderly have high-expected medical expenditures; therefore, availability of health insurance is an important factor in their retirement decisions. We determine if access to retiree health insurance for early retirement enables couples to time their retirement together – a behavior called "joint retirement." We find that wives' retiree health insurance more than doubles the propensity to retire jointly, suggesting that health insurance is an important consideration in coordinating retirement decisions among couples. Even though retiree health insurance has a substantial effect on joint retirement, its effect on overall employment patterns is modest, accounting for a 2 percentage point fall in employment.

Post on my Message Board Forum Not
Connected? That's ok! |
Dear Ancestor
Your tombstone stands among the rest;
Neglected and alone
The name and date are chiseled out
On polished, marbled stone
It reaches out to all who care
It is too late to mourn
You did not know that I exist
You died and I was born
Yet each of us are cells of you
In flesh, in blood, in bone
Our blood contracts and beats a pulse
Entirely not our own.
Dear Ancestor, the place you filled
One hundred years ago
Spreads out among the ones you left
Who would have loved you so
I wonder if you lived and loved,
I wonder if you knew
That someday I would find this spot,
And come to visit you.

People with diabetes are twice as likely as the average person to experience depression. The anxiety and stress of the holiday season can trigger depression even if you're usually content.
We're bombarded with images of happy people eating, drinking and being merry with family and friends. In reality, many people are estranged from their families or feel lonely and isolated this time of year.
Moreover, you see others indulging in an overabundance of holiday sweets and alcohol. You may resent that you can't participate, let yourself go and then feel guilty about it.
If you're feeling down, talk to your provider. There are effective treatment options for depression. Treatment often includes both talk therapy and antidepressants. Some antidepressants aren't appropriate if you have diabetes because they may cause weight gain or increase your blood sugars.
If you think about harming yourself, we strongly urge you to seek professional help. Please call 1-800-273-8255 which is the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline.
There are other measures you can employ to improve your mood:

Great advice! Especially the one "Let go of expectations"!
Very true.The more happiness I see around me,the more I see people shopping and people partying ,I more depressed I become.So the best thing is to stay at home and be happy with your own self.
I find going to movie theater is effective to let go of feeling blue. It's Moore than watching movie is entertainment. In theaters you are completely out of what you facing daily for two hours; evolving around other people's emotions that the empathy let you get in touch with your own wider range of emotions, which is often more than feeling blue. It's quite affordable, quick and the affects last for days.
Thank you Sara. I am one of those people who experience this every year and this year is really bad. I lost my mother (who was my everything) and my only sibling (whom was not talking to me at the time of her death). We have no children and I have never felt so lost, so alone, etc.... I knew this day would come but it came all too fast. Too sudden. No warnings. I would love to let go of expectations but really struggle. Well thanks for your advise.
I have recently begun a blog http://www.mytype2diabetesmanagement.com/ where I will be posting about my diagnosis of being type 2 diabetic, my experiences and how I have managed my glucose levels. I will post things I've done that were successful and I'll also post my failures. Visit my site, it's in the infancy stage but we can learn from each other.
Excellent adviçe
Thank for the advise
americans in general are self centered,its all about me . as long as that is present nothing will change . ive tryed the be kind to others ,guess what its a waste of time not expecting anything and only get more greif .and americans wonder why they have the problems in society that are out there .keep pushing people to side it will only get worse before better . wait and see. marke the date down . is a sad thing
In my experience, hit rock bottom if you must, but resolve to map s purposeful plan to find meaning in your life. Remain determined to succeed in whatever gives you a sense of accomplishment. Build upon this success to strengthen and improve your outlook.
I think being fully aware that while being content of one's solo flight at this time of the year is helpful especially if one can admit that subconsciously the sense of isolation one feels must be recognized, not ignored. Just the awareness can be a pathway to alter the state of isolation.
Very good advice!

thanks everyone, there was some tough competition. the lady that won first is my LAQ she is phenomenal. I wish I had taken pictures for you
gini in north idaho
Thea ,"When I worked at the shop I made all 3 of these quilts one weekend..."
wow!! I always knew I was slow!!! :)
lovely quilts!!! Thea
Gini, love your Iris quilt!!
🌺 You know you are a quilter when the only scraps under your table are fabric.🐾
Elaine, I like your iris also ... Different colors for different places but both quilts are lovely!!
Jen, your quilt top is looking great!!
i have been working on a top for my daughter that she wants to give as a gift to a friend who loves books!
Deb, your book quilt is wonderful! I love it.
In the beautiful Pacific Northwest!
Deb great book quilt.
Deb that is very nice. I like your design!
I have not worked on a quilt in a few days... I have been tasked with making some clothes for my grand daughter for school this next year. So have been cutting out some of them today... Plus, been working outside with DH on the yard. It is almost done. You can not imagine how happy I am - I have wanted all this work done for so many years. I tried to do it by myself but I just do not have the ability to do it. I could work for a couple days and then would be down for a month... so with DH doing this work and getting it done... I am doing a happy dance for us... but now that the yard is going to look so pretty and the inside is being finished from all the projects DH started... do I have to move??? Yes is the answer but oh how I wish I could just move this house and yard up to MN... I know the sacrifices for a wonderful time seeing my grand children every day... Not really a sacrifice... I got some beautiful pictures today of the Cardinal that visits each day. My dearly departed Lori loved Cardinals so every time I see one I think of her. I have a nature quilt in my head of these birds and the rabbits and the squirrels... we get a possum at least once a year and the skunks in the early spring and late fall as they migrate... Not sure how to get a picture of one of those skunks though...:)
I took a break from sewing the blocks together on the queen size quilt for DHs den. After a while the fabric colors and pattern get tiring to look at. So I went through all my purple fabric and fat quarters hoping to get some creative ideas on a twin size quilt for my sweet DGD who loves purple. She has a day bed style so I want the length to be showing the pattern facing you . I was thinking of something with 9 patch blocks, and plain blocks to applique hearts on. I will sleep on it tonight and hopefully will come up with some more ideas in the morning. Susan
I woke to aches and pains this morning that I went to bed with last night... No working outside today... the aches and pains are because it is thunder bumper time in northern oklahoma and is supposed to go on off and on all day... so I have the first out fit all cut out sitting on the side of my machine - 2 tops a pair of pants and a dress... Guess I need to get busy as soon as the pain meds kick in...
Hope everyone has a sunnier day then I am having but I have sunshine in my bedroom(sewing room) as I am making a gift that will make my DGD smile.
Deb - love the book quilt, as a librarian I've always wanted to do one of these but have not gotten to it yet! great job!
"I'm just a poor soul who's intentions are good. Oh, Lord, Please don't let me be misunderstood."
Debbie (dear1953)
very nice Gini! I love the purple. how did that challenge quilt turn out you were starting at Branson?
"Not sure how to get a picture of one of those skunks though...:)" Very carefully, Thea. VERY carefully!! LOL
Hope you feel comfortable soon!
My Sunshine doesn't come from the skies, It comes from the love in my dog's eyes.
Gini, are you going to bring the Iris quilt to the Oregon retreat for Show and Tell? Pretty Please?
Debbie sam and nana didn't mush like it so I started over
judy, I thought the show and tell we did last year was fun. we should do it again. yes I will bring it, I need to start a list.
Thea , if you try to take a picture of the ol' pole cat.. Make sure you have lots of tomatoe juice on hand! :))
ladies .. I need some ideas on how to quilt this bookshelf top!! How would you quilt it?

Just three challengers will line up in San Francisco this year bidding to topple the local holders of the America's Cup.
Emirates Team New Zealand is the early favourite with the Swedish-based Artemis and the Prada-backed Italians of Luna Rossa both making great efforts to catch up after gear damage during testing for Artemis and Luna Rossa joining the fray in earnest a year after the other two.
In theory there is still a challenge from Korea but there has been no confirmation from Seoul and there is no confirmation that a 72-foot Cup boat is being built or even that people have been hired to build it.
But the run-up has been further upset as the America's Cup Event Authority also confirmed that two regattas in the World Series, contested in 45-foot catamarans and in the diary for New York in May, have been 'set aside'.
CEO Stephen Barclay said that "our number one priority has to be the events scheduled for San Francisco this summer," and the timing of the events in New York meant that they had had to ask themselves "should we spent this amount of money at this point in time and the answer we came to was no."
And the tarantella continues in Italy. Barclay said that a third of the venue payment for the World Series event in Naples in April – the total is believed to be €4.2m – had been made.
But the event scheduled for Venice has been cancelled and the mayor, Giorgio Orsini, himself a lawyer, is behind the city suing the ACEA with the first hearing set down for a Venetian court on 17 January.
The entry list for this year's Rolex Fastnet Race hit its 300-boat limit within 36 hours of the list being opened.
- More about:
- Italy
- New York City
- Regatta
- Rolex
- San Francisco
- Venice
