License to Chill
March came in like a lion, with Mother Nature dumping several inches of snow on the region March 3 as city governments and local schools closed in the wake of yet another storm that brought life across Alexandria to a crawl. "I am not a fan of this weather but thought I would try and get some enjoyment out of this last storm," said @Home Real Estate and Design Center Realtor Christine Sennott. "My boyfriend and I packed on our winter gear and went for a walk about town. The streets were desolate with random residents shoveling walk ways and an occasional barking dog the only sound to be heard." With snow totals ranging from 2.5 to 8 inches, the latest round of winter weather brought icy conditions and subfreezing temperatures to Alexandria just days after sunshine bathed the city's annual St. Patrick's Day parade.

Drum Center of Portsmouth is the Tama Star Dealer of the Year! We carry the full line of Tama Drum Sets, starting at the Ready, set, go Imperialstar drum set, the Superstar Classic, Starclassic Performer, Starclassic Maple, Starclassic Bubinga, and the Star Walnut, Star Bubinga, and Star Maple drums. Phew! That's a lot!
There's so much to talk about with Tama drum sets. Tama is about innovation; making drummers lives easier through small improvements and inventions. And the drum set history with Tama is very deep, from their jazz beginnings, with drummers like Lenny White and Elvin Jones, and then into their Rock and Prog roots, with icons like Neil Peart, Bill Buford, Simon Phillips, Stewart Copeland forging the Tama name into the minds of drummers everywhere. Tama absolutely owned the heavy metal market for years, and legends like Lars Ulrich, Charlie Benante, Dave Lombardo, and John Tempesta are still playing their Tama kits. Tama continues to diversify, returning to their jazz roots with the new classic hardware, and the vintage inspired Star series drums. Peter Erskine has come over and found himself the happiest he's ever been with a kit. The Birch/Bubinga and Starclassic Bubinga have become a hit with the gospel market as well. If you have something to say on drums, you will definitely be able to say it on Tama.

Cipollini onions are a flat Italian heirloom variety. Various catalogs describe the taste as either spicy or pungent. A cooked Cipollini onion has a distinctive sweet flavor which you either love or hate: I loved it, but my gardening neighbor Jim, aka The Onion Man, dislikes it.
In 2010 I planted Cipollini. I started 30 seeds and transplanted the biggest 25 plants. Cipollini grows a bit differently than other onions: the flat toped bulb does not push above the surface like the typical globe-shaped onion. At maturity, the leaves of Cipollini dried back from the tips, but they never bent at the neck and flopped over as the other varieties do. As a result, I harvested Cipollini last.
I was disappointed by the harvest. My 25 transplants resulted in 20 usable onions, weighing 4 pounds total. Even some I counted as 'usable' had to be cooked immediately because of problems. Some were rotting, either at the outside layer where the skin should be, or from the neck down through the center. It looked like the somewhat depressed top of the bulb collected water and rotted instead of shedding water and drying. I did not expect these sorts of problems with an onion that is supposed to be good for storage.
Cipollini onions taste good enough that I will grow them again, but I will modify my growing process to attempt to avoid the problems. When onions start maturing, I will harvest a Cipollini every few days to check their progress. When the tops of other varieties flop over, I will push over Cipollini's tops with a rake. At maturity I will remove the mulch from the top of the Cipollini bulbs, to encourage drying. With any luck, I'll have some of these tasty onions for eating during the fall.
Yesterday, 7/31, I harvested my Cipollini onions. They are in good condition with the exception of two that have very juicy necks. (Its not normal to bend the neck of an onion and have liquid squeeze out; the neck should be drying.) These two will be eaten soonest.
What did I do differently this year?
The onions were planted out of the range of my neighbor's oscillating sprinkler – no over-watering. I started checking the Cipollini bulbs in mid-July and discovered they were sizing up nicely and some were big enough to eat. Because the mulch covered their flat tops, it was not obvious at a glance how big the Cipollini had grown. I harvested a couple of weeks earlier than last year, 7/31 instead of mid-August.

Ruby can't look back. Fractured by an unbearable loss, she and the kids who survived the government's attack on Los Angeles travel north to regroup. With them is a prisoner: Clancy Gray, son of the president, and one of the few people Ruby has encountered with abilities like hers. Only Ruby has any power over him, and just one slip could lead to Clancy wreaking havoc on their minds.
They are armed only with a volatile secret: proof of a government conspiracy to cover up the real cause of IAAN, the disease that has killed most of America's children and left Ruby and others like her with powers the government will kill to keep contained. But internal strife may destroy their only chance to free the "rehabilitation camps" housing thousands of other Psi kids.
Meanwhile, reunited with Liam, the boy she would-and did-sacrifice everything for to keep alive, Ruby must face the painful repercussions of having tampered with his memories of her. She turns to Cole, his older brother, to provide the intense training she knows she will need to take down Gray and the government. But Cole has demons of his own, and one fatal mistake may be the spark that sets the world on fire.
By no means as good as the first two books, but still had a satisfying ending… When I immediately finished this book, I loved it. But I held off on writing this review because I find that I ALWAYS love books right when I finish them. So this time, I took the time to let my emotions settle in order to get a stronger hold on my opinion.
With all that said, I like this series. Not love, but that perfect crush that you had in high school who you look back on now and think "meh". I found that Alexandra Bracken tried too hard to stretch out this book and make it as long as the others in the series. I mean, there were just too many chapters that seemed to repeat each other, where Ruby would feel insecure, Ruby would struggle with her emotions, and Ruby would keep secrets from a special someone. It definitely could have been condensed. And speaking of a special someone, considering the fact that Liam was present for nearly this entire book, he really didn't seem to be around much. He was such a fan favourite yet the author focused too little on him and way too much on Ruby's emotions. So if you haven't figured it out yet, Ruby did start to get on my nerves with the repetitive and constant complaining and struggling with her abilities and relationships with Cole and Liam. Ruby's complaints and Liams lack of air-time caused me to disconnect from them on an emotional level. BUT the momentum from the action in the past books and the emotional connections I had made in the past two books allowed me to still enjoy reading this one.
For a good majority of the book, Ruby's all like:
On the other hand, I loved the direction the story took and (without giving too much of a spoiler) I loved how the story come full circle and concluded where book one started. I did find the very ending (the resolution to the damaged American world) very over simplistic and unlikely, but I can't be surprised by it, this is young adult after all. So, the ending was satisfying – but it would be FANTASTIC if there were an epilogue or a novella to tell us what happens after this book, because we are left to wonder how these characters relationships develop after the big events of the finale.

The risk assessment is done, the crisis management team is in place, plans have been developed for both continuity and recovery and all the business units have exercised their plans to perfection. Now the business continuity planner can sit back and relax with nothing to worry about. It's all covered . . . or is it?
On Aug. 2, 2001, approximately half the banks in Norway had a digital disaster, losing card services, ATMs, Internet banking and automatic phone banking for three days.
The cause wasn't torrential rain or widespread flooding. It had nothing to do with a power failure or a rampant computer virus. So how could something so widespread occur in the absence of a natural disaster in an industry where regulations demand exceptional disaster/continuity planning?
Give up? All were customers of the same vendor, who provided the banks with various computer services, including data storage. The vendor, implementing a project to install 288 new disks in its storage system, erroneously initialized 288 existing disks, crashing the entire system.
With every passing year, businesses become more connected, more intertwined – and more dependent on vendors to provide the highest quality products and services at exactly the right time. Anything less may substantially and adversely impact the bottom line of a business, exactly what business continuity planners spend entire careers trying to prevent. So what is the solution?
Vendor Management
Vendor management programs have been around for a long time in one form or another. Many of these programs focus on service level agreements (SLAs), which provide penalties for supply failures or poor product quality. Some provide positive incentives for "on-time" supply arrivals or consistent service "up-time."
While these types of agreements may "encourage" a vendor to maintain process and quality standards, they don't get to the meat of the problem experienced by Norway's banks.
A more proactive solution is required to ensure that a vendor will be a strong and valuable partner, able to deliver your critical products and services during times of crisis. The question needs to be asked, "If you have a disaster, how do you plan to provide the products/services I need without a lapse that adversely impacts my business?"
So . . . What Is A Vendor Management Program?
A successful vendor management program is a partnership between a business and its vendors/suppliers. It involves the open exchange of information between the parties and serves to strengthen the existing business relationship. The vendor management program has three phases:
1. Developing Management Support
2. Establishing Contact
3. Partnering for Performance
Developing Management Support
The first requirement of a successful vendor management program is supportive management. It will be necessary to develop a policy statement outlining details of the program, in addition to defining requirements for vendor participation. The policy must have solid "buy-in" from management (signature of the most senior executive possible) in order to ensure a firm foundation exists for resolution of compliance issues within most organizations. How does one develop this support?
Every organization has at least one executive who understands the downside potential of business continuity issues. While it will likely not be your CEO (you are exceptionally lucky if it is), you should be able to find one who reports directly to the CEO, the CFO or CIO for example, to be your champion. They can help raise the visibility of your program to the appropriate level for ongoing executive support. This is not an optional step. If the CEO, or at least the COO, is not on board with your program, you will never survive the inevitable conflicts that will arise.
Establishing Contact
Who are your critical vendors . . . the ones you absolutely can't do business without? No one has time to manage all a company's vendors, so focus must be placed on those that are truly critical to the business' daily operations. The business impact analysis is a perfect source for this information. A BIA will provide key information regarding what functions or processes are critical to a business and identify the suppliers for that function or process. This information may be used to develop and prioritize a starting list.
Once a list of critical vendors has been established, contact them, working through business continuity contacts, if available, or established business relationships (purchasing, account managers, etc.). The first communication should be a cordial effort at relationship building. Indicate that a program is being developed for ensuring critical vendors are able to continue to meet the business' needs during times of crisis, stressing the importance of being a partner in the effort.
As part of the first contact, request information regarding the vendor's business continuity and disaster recovery plans. An aggressive approach is to ask for copies of their disaster/continuity plans so that they may be used as assumptions for your own planning efforts (don't be surprised if the vendor refuses to make their plans available, as they frequently contain confidential/competitive company information). The real goal for this stage is to confirm that they do, in fact, have plans that are written and exercised regularly.
Some companies will send lots of information, some will send less than a page. The next step depends on the strength of management support and goals of your program. If the program is just looking to ensure that each vendor has some kind of business continuity/disaster recovery happening, then a minimal response may be satisfactory. Information should be tracked by making an annual contact to check for changes. If the vendor is bottom-line critical, a more aggressive approach may be desired, soliciting more detailed information on existing plans, or requesting a joint exercise to demonstrate a greater level of partnership (they should be just as concerned about losing you as a customer as you are about losing them as a vendor).
Resolving Compliance Issues
Some vendors may choose to not respond. If the appropriate executive support has been developed initially, plans should be in place for addressing this. While various options exist for combating a non-communicative vendor, any course of action should focus on eliminating the risk of a failed vendor causing damage to an otherwise healthy business.
If a vendor does not respond to three requests for information, use internal business relationships/partnerships to open communications with the vendor. Place the burden for the risk created on the executive whose business uses the vendor. The sponsoring executive should be notified that one of their critical vendors is refusing to participate in the company's vendor management program and provide them with three options for moving forward:
1. The executive can work directly with the vendor to "encourage" compliance within a given time frame.
2. The executive can accept the risk (by signing a risk acceptance form that is forwarded to the company's CEO), indicating that they understand the risk being created and that they accept full responsibility for the vendor's performance.
3. The business unit can select a new vendor for that product or service.
What about the vendor that does respond, but doesn't have any business continuity/disaster recovery plans currently? This is a great opportunity to build a strong partnership with the vendor by offering assistance to help them get started. Some companies offer this service to their vendors for free, while others provide it on a consulting basis (great for those looking to turn business continuity departments into revenue generators). Whichever way it is approached, the goodwill that is created will undoubtedly make the vendor a stronger partner in the future.
The primary goal of a vendor management program should be clear: ensuring that critical vendors are able to support the business under the worst of conditions. Without this knowledge, the business is at risk each and every day of becoming collateral damage . . . the victim of someone else's disaster.

On Sunday,
and Parish dedicated a street corner to Our Lady of Fatima, complete with grotto and statue. About 500 people crowded the streets to witness the event. St. Elisabeth School
The story of Fatima is legendary in the Catholic Church. The Virgin Mary appeared to three small shepherd children in the village of Cova da Iria in Portugal beginning on May 13, 1917. She would appear many times over the next six months, always on the thirteenth day. Her message to the world was one of prophecy, including a second world war and the grave challenges the church would face. Some say she predicted the attempted assassination of Pope John Paul II in 1981, as well as the sex abuse scandal that has shaken the very foundation of the institution.
Two of the children were cousins, Jacinta and Francisco Marto, who died in the Spanish Influenza outbreak 1919-1920. The lone survivor was Sister Lucia dos Santos, a member of the Discalced Carmelite order of nuns. She died at the age of 97 in 2005. The bodies of Jacinta and Francisco were exhumed in 1935 and 1951. Francisco's corpse had decomposed, but Jacinta's face was incorrupt, a common sign of a saintly person, according to church history.
For this one Sunday, though, parishioners flooded those streets to watch the statue installed on the corner of Cedros Avenue and Kittridge Street. The project was spearheaded by the Knights of Columbus, a Catholic service organization which has offered hope and assistance to an almost infinite number of people around the world.

I delivered a eulogy today. This is what I said.
I've never done this before, so I apologize ahead of time if I'm young and stray too eagerly into the unorthodox or worse, the cliché. Death is still mostly foreign to me.
I only experienced a short window in Nana's time with us. Seventy-two years of her story do not include me, and a lifetime of practice, mistakes, and learning preceded my interactions with her. Whatever her challenges were, I was not privy to them. As such, Nana will exist eternally in my mind as the pristine vessel of the best kind of grandmotherly love. On any given day, she would fulfill with gusto the roles of guardian, tutor, correctional officer, and friend. She made possible a wealth of excellent childhood memories which I look forward to reminiscing on for the rest of my life; the ride home from school in her glorified go-kart of a car, the bacon sandwich she'd make every day while I sat down to watch afternoon cartoons (starting with Thundercats), the countless hours spent doing puzzles and playing word games. All of that was beautiful and lovely, but I think it would fail the depth of her character to limit my eulogy to youthful nostalgia.
Which presents a problem for me.
I realize, as I trawl through the annals of my biography, that my memory is not good. I have this collection of scenes from my childhood, but the details are so blurred. In these memories, her mannerisms and demeanor are perhaps the clearest of what remains; I can recall the lilting style of her voice when she would admonish me, or how her lips would purse woodenly while she read a story, or the way it seemed like every wrinkle on her face would contribute to her smiles. But ultimately, I can't remember a lot of what she actually said to me. I forgot, kind of like loose change through a hole in your pocket. I was too young, incapable of understanding the myriad subtleties that no doubt accompanied her old-fashioned sensibilities and warm companionship. I want to say I know who she really was, but by the time I was beginning to develop an identity, she was losing hers to Alzheimer's. I am stuck knowing her only through the murky lens of early grade school.

Abstract: Wireless data communications in form of Short Message Service SMS andWireless Access Protocols WAP browsers have gained global popularity, yet,not much has been done to extend the usage of these devices in electroniclearning e-learning and information sharing. This project explores theextension of e learning into wireless- handheld W-H computing devices withthe help of a mobile learning m-learning framework. This framework providesthe requirements to develop m-learning application that can be used to shareacademic and administrative information among people within the universitycampus. A prototype application has been developed to demonstrate the importantfunctionality of the proposed system in simulated environment. This system issupposed to work both in bulk SMS and interactive SMS delivery mode. Here wehave combined both Short Message Service SMS and Wireless Access ProtocolsWAP browsers. SMS is used for Short and in time information delivery and WAPis used for detailed information delivery like course content, trainingmaterial, interactive evolution tests etc. The push model is used for sendingpersonalized multicasting messages to a group of mobile users with a commonprofile thereby improving the effectiveness and usefulness of the cntentdelivered. Again pull mechanism can be applied for sending information as SMSwhen requested by end user in interactive SMS delivery mode. The main strengthof the system is that, the actual SMS delivery application can be hosted on amobile device, which can operate even when the device is on move.

In your letters page last week appeared two letters regarding the 'Bumpy Bridge', one from Laurie Page, St Wilfrids Road, the other from a Labour Town Councillor, who should know better to research his topics rather than jump on the latest band wagon to come along.
Most of your readers will probably think Laurie Page has it right and Cllr Andrews has it completely wrong.Regarding Cllr Andrews getting it wrong, if he had asked his council staff they would have at least been able to tell him some of the history about trying to retain the bridge over the last 30 -40 years, it is a long story. Around half of the cost to replace the 'Bumpy Bridge' leading from Junction Road to the narrow residential St Wilfreds Road on the other side of the railway, around £600,000, is being funded by developers' contributions. The rest is being found by the utility companies whose services pass over the railway line in or on the 'Bumpy Bridge'. It was a marginal decision by the utility companies to part fund the replacement. They could have almost as easily taken their services networks around the two remaining crossings at either Worlds End or via the Burgess Hill Station crossing.
In defence of my former Lib Dem County Council colleagues. It took years and a lot of pressure from them to get any sort of replacement bridge on the table. Network Rail's preferred option was a gantry to take the services from one side to the other. The community, children, parents walking their families, or just going shopping, as well as those without transport or mobility problems were to go around either the top of the town via Junction Road or down and along Leylands Road and up (probably) Noel Rise and St Wilfrids Road. Nice trip if you have the time and energy. Regarding the Tory replacement councillors at County Hall, which was the majority of residents preferred option at the time to elect, they probably did get a briefing from officers and realised the work of their Lib Dem predecessors was pretty good and under the tight constraints of space and the public purse (your council tax) the proposed replacement bridge is a good, well thought through, project. Hopefully it will be put in place this coming autumn. To delay this with 'late to the table' half thought through ideas would be a disaster for all the pedestrian users who rely on the bridge to make their journeys possible.
Lib Dem District Cllr Graham Knight, St Andrews Ward, Burgess Hill

I Want to Look Like You
The desire to adapt your makeup look to emulate your favorite celebrity is certainly nothing new. Movie and society magazines at the beginning of the twentieth century started the preoccupation, and it's a trend that appears to have reached its feverish height over the past decade. It's difficult to log onto the Internet or pass a magazine rack without a Copy the Look' headline screaming out.
This tribal mentality of wanting to belong is also nothing new why we were swayed to buy that new pink lip gloss, or indeed why we put it on at all, is something anthropologists and academics have been sweating over for years. One of my favorite secrets, Man as Art, features beautiful photography of tribes in New Guinea studied by anthropologist Andrew Strathern. Strathern examines the incredible rituals and elaborate face and body paint various groups use, and says in his intro: Face painting is . . . a serious exercise, and its designs mark out male status as against that of females.'1 In other words, beyond superficial beautification, adornment in this way is about sexual attraction as well as communicating a group identity.
The group identity, feeling as if we belong to our tribe,' is evident in makeup use worldwide. As teenagers, didn't we all want to belong? And depending on our generation, we expressed this desire through Debbie Harry-style blush and lip gloss or an emo smudged black eye. Whether we want to look like our favorite screen idol, celebrity, model, or singer, we are communicating something about ourselves to the outside world, displaying that we belong to a group.
Somali supermodel and entrepreneur Iman sums it up in her foreword to photographer Art Wolfe's Tribes: From the runway of a haute couture designer to a tribe in the depths of the Brazilian rainforest, we all share in common a basic human desire to present ourselves as something beyond what we are. Our worldly conditions may differ dramatically, but as human beings we are comprised of stock impulses, no matter what our level of industrial revolution.'2 Our gut instinct to look our very best is driven by our primal instincts to reproduce.
The modern-day face of beauty in the cyber age is that of digitally enhanced flawless perfection, from Hollywood A-listers to the filtered and smoothed-out social media photos posted daily by millions of young women all over the world. Technological advances in makeup and beauty products allow us to adjust our skin tone, texture, face shape, and identity with comparative ease. Whether we look to the East or the West, the lines between race, gender, and status are becoming increasingly blurred. There is a move toward a homogenized, globalized beauty ideal, where perfection is more important than individuality.

This paper examines methods provided by both John Dewey and Amy Gutmann. Dewey's method involves categorizing experiences and values amongst individuals. Gutmann's method involves neutrality through equality of information and presentations. My question revolves around how to create a fairer democratic education system that allows individuals to critically analyze every-‐day information. My analysis and conclusion combine the two methods to form a better method and solution. The solution is that values and experiences need to be learned through unbiased neutrality in order for individuals to form unbiased social groups that make up society. This implies that some of our current social groups possibly have a wall of ignorance about them that doesn't allow for fairness in a democratic education.

Staff Reporter
For many people who play video games, it is all too easy to see a finished game and forget about the people behind the scenes who put in all the work.
This past weekend, in collaboration with the Bossier City Arts Council, Jerry Berg educated the students of his game design class on the rigors of the development cycle by hosting a Game Jam.
Berg, an associate professor of art, said the rules of the Jam were designed to challenge his students.
"The various teams have 48 hours to create a finished project based on a theme that they won't know until the event commences," he said. "This is a very good way for them to test their problem-solving skills, as well as learn about themselves as developers."
Berg, who was also one of the judges of the event, recruited some industry veterans to assist with judging the games, including Nolan Baker, a professional software engineer working for Twin Engine Labs in Shreveport.
Baker said he had participated in over 100 game jams and he believes the events are an invaluable teaching tool for anyone looking to become a developer.
"I personally think that game jams are what made me successful in my career," he said. "Software development is not something that has an 'exactly right way' to be completed like the college classes will tell you.
In reality, it's more like, 'Oh, we were supposed to have this done yesterday,' and Jerry and I want to teach these kids that working under pressure is an invaluable skill."
Baker said that the development field is very competitive, so aspiring developers should strive to make games in their spare time.
"Some kids go through the college experience and come out thinking they have a guaranteed job," he said. "Game development is a cutthroat field. There are people who can make wonderful games, but never get a chance because competition is so stiff. As if you were an artist, a portfolio of your work is essential to show potential employers, and game jams are a great way to fill said portfolio."
In addition to Tech students, high school students could also compete. One such group was the team of Trent Robichaux and Gavin Jones, both 15-year-olds from Caddo Magnet High.
Robichaux said they wanted to take full advantage of the theme, which was "exploration into the mind."
"Our game was called 'Guru Meditation,'" he said. "The object was to rid yourself of 'bad thoughts' using 'enlightenment rays.' It was based off of an existing game called 'Color Sheep.'"
Jones said he greatly appreciated the chance to learn under a professional developer.
"Nolan looked at our game and instantly thought of mechanics to add that never crossed our minds," he said. "I aspire to work for Rooster Teeth in Austin, Texas, one day, so his advice about the industry really means a lot to me."
Berg said the final projects would be featured at the Digifest South Tech Expo on Sept. 17-18, where the winner will be announced along with a People's Choice award.
"The Expo is a huge benefit to these students," he said. "In addition to my class, Tech will be represented through the School of Design. I enjoy seeing the work these students have been able to produce, and I am excited for what the future holds for them."

It is understood that the man was shot as he sat in a car. Witnesses described two gunmen leaving the scene, and that "three to six shots" were fired.
It is understood that the victim is well-known to gardai, and has a number of previous convictions.
He is an associate of Gerry 'The Monk' Hutch.
It is thought to be the seventh murder of the Kinahan-Hutch feud which has spiralled out of control since the start of the year.
The latest victim had been living at Avondale House, off North Cumberland Street.
This address was previously searched by gardai as part of the investigation into the Regency Hotel shooting last February 5.
The victim was recently issued with a Garda Information Message warning him that his life was under threat.
Gardai are investigating if a second man, also a relative of the Hutch family, was also injured in the attack.
The gunmen are reported to have fled the scene on foot after their getaway vehicle failed to start. They got into another vehicle nearby.
Emergency services remain at the scene.
Associates of the latest gangland murder victim had been linked to the murder of Davy Byrne.
Five people have now been killed since Byrne was shot dead at the Regency Hotel last February 5.
Patrick Hutch has been charged with that killing.

These are the things that I thank God for everyday. Sometimes, though, it is easy to forget some of the little things. I am so thankful for the extras. And there are many. I have internet service every month. I can watch my favorite programs when I want, not on the network schedule. We have a new puppy.
These are some of the things that were not possible for me just a few years ago. These are the things I am thinking about today. I may not have all of the things that I want but I certainly have more than I need.
I have been on a quest to not just keep gathering stuff. I'm notorious for that. I have really been trying to use up some of what I already have. It is gratifying to make something out of all this stuff and not have to buy.
This is one of those projects. I started with the embroidered "S" (from this lovely book, which was one of those have-to-have items for me). I made the "S" on a swatch of French Linen. Lovely color, I think. And it was my first attempt at following a design. It was quick and fun and I like it.
The dupioni silk I purchased in Atlanta many years ago. The blue rose fabric I got last summer at garage sale. The book is from my youngest sister. And the vintage pink silk twist is another garage/estate sale find. It came together quick. And I happen to know someone who likes covered books. With embroidery on them. Who has a first initial "S".
I'll be linking to Fabric Tuesday with this project. I've been looking there today and there are some wonderful ideas for gifts. I just love the quilts! Cant get enough of those!
More craftiness and holiday stuff soon!

Legacy Record - This information may be included in the List Entry Details.
Reasons for Designation
Round barrow cemeteries date to the Bronze Age (c.2000-700 BC). They comprise
closely-spaced groups of up to 30 round barrows - rubble or earthen mounds
covering single or multiple burials. Most cemeteries developed over a
considerable period of time, often many centuries, and in some cases acted as
a focus for burials as late as the early medieval period. They exhibit
considerable diversity of burial rite, plan and form, frequently including
several different types of round barrow, occasionally associated with earlier
long barrows. Where large scale investigation has been undertaken around them,
contemporary or later "flat" burials between the barrow mounds have often been
revealed. Round barrow cemeteries occur across most of lowland Britain, with a
marked concentration in Wessex. In some cases, they are clustered around other
important contemporary monuments such as henges. Often occupying prominent
locations, they are a major historic element in the modern landscape, whilst
their diversity and their longevity as a monument type provide important
information on the variety of beliefs and social organisation amongst early
prehistoric communities. They are particularly representative of their period
and a substantial proportion of surviving or partly-surviving examples are
considered worthy of protection.
The three bowl barrows 250m west of the Andover Lodge in Cholderton Park are well preserved examples of their class. The barrows exhibit a largely original profile with, in each case, a pronounced ditch surrounding the substantial mound. All three barrows will contain archaeological remains providing information about Bronze Age burial practices, economy and environment.
Legacy Record - This information may be included in the List Entry Details.
The monument includes three large ditched Bronze Age bowl barrows, part of a
cemetery containing at least 12 round barrows which lie on level ground
close to the Andover Lodge of Cholderton Park. Each of the three barrows has a
mound, surrounded by a ditch from which material was quarried during its
The most northerly of the barrows is 26m in diameter and 1.8m high, with a
ditch 5m wide and 0.4m deep. The western barrow is 26m in diameter and 1.7m
high, with a ditch 7m wide and 0.5m deep, and the eastern is 29m in diameter
and 1.8m high, with a ditch 5m wide and 0.5m deep.
Excluded from the scheduling are all fence posts, although the ground beneath
them is included.

BOONSBORO - The next time the Boonsboro High School color guard marches onto the field, spectators might want to pay close attention to the flags being carried by the squad members.
Faced with the prospect of buying 27 new outdoor flags - at an estimated cost of $165 each - a number of parents and other volunteers pitched in to sew flags over the summer.
The effort of the volunteers brought the cost of the flags down to $3 to $5 a flag.
Each flag - composed of a silky lining material and lam - took about four or five hours to complete.
Two mothers led the project - Kathy Vesely and Beth Rockwell - but they stressed that many others contributed their time and talent.
"Sally Poole did the flags before me and her husband, Dick, is a big reason the flags turn out so well," Vesely said.

Depressing but not All the Way Depressing
Despite my vow to not watch election coverage last night, I sort of did anyway. Well, I watched the last three episode of True Blood (finally!) while reading blog coverage of the election on my ipad.
It was pretty disastrous here in Florida, with the whole Senate fiasco and local elections going badly. Even ultra-locally, one of the most pig-headed, polluted-thinking individuals I've ever personally known was elected to the charter review board. Last I checked there was still some ray of hope for the Governor's race, but it wasn't looking good. Let's check... still not looking good.
Nationally there was the nastiness in the house, but at least the moribund Dems held onto the Senate. We can look forward to two years of grinding and sniping and not much else, which isn't ideal but could be much worse.
But on the plus side, tomorrow I'm going to buy a Kinnect! And like every gadget I've ever bought in my life, it will solve all my problems and make everything perfect. Yay!

How Your Sofa Cleaners in Bicester Will Transform Your Furniture
As you probably already know, there's more than one way to clean a sofa. In order to guarantee yours will receive the right treatment, we only send trained sofa cleaners to your Bicester property to deliver them all:
- Sofa steam cleaning – all upholstery made from artificial fibres will greatly benefit from this service. We use a cutting edge tool that injects cleaning solution deep into the fabric and then extracts it along all impurities. It is proven to deliver great results when removing stains.
- Sofa dry cleaning – this technique is gentle enough not to harm the fibre construction, but powerful enough to provide excellent results. It is very similar to the steam cleaning method, but a different cleaning solution is used.
- Sofa foam cleaning – after brushing the upholstery, we carefully apply cleaning foam to the surface. The foam hardens in approximately 10 minutes and is then extracted with a powerful vacuum, leaving the sofa cleaned.

The windscreen enhances the look of your stove as well as helps to protect the flame from wind. Folds for easy storage. Fits GB-90, TB-90, POC-90 and SPG-70 models.
- Easily attaches to stove
- Ends fold in for compact storage
- Three-burner, 16" Cooking Systems
Triple Burner Windscreen is rated out of 5 by 2.
Rated 3 out of 5 by Anonymous from Works Great Unless... Wind screen works wonders when the breeze picks up. Only problem I could find is that if you have the grill box on and you open the lid, it knocks off the wind screen. So you are using the 3rd burner for another dish and the grill box , you cannot use the windscreen. I did notice that if they were to take and join the 2 smaller corner pieces and hinge them together you would have a perfect ( 3rd burner ) windscreen while the grill box is in use.

Since the tragic shooting last week in Tucson, a lot of debate has been thrown around about the connection between it and the increasingly inflammatory political rhetoric that has characterized public discourse in the Information Age. Personally, I don't make much of the connection, at least directly. The shooter is mentally unstable and, according to the news, doesn't seem to be tied to any particular political ideology. And the fact of the matter is that inflammatory political rhetoric isn't anything new; it's as old as politics. Have you ever read some of the things that were said about George Washington in the papers while he was president? As bad as it can get, today's rhetoric doesn't touch some of the outlandish things that were printed in the early days of the republic.
Of course, in order to read those things you had to a) be able to read, b) buy a newspaper, and c) read the inflammatory article. Today, not only can most people in the country read, but political rhetoric is not limited to newspapers, pamphlets, and speeches. Blogs, books, Tweets, texts, YouTube, email, radio, television, online newpapers and magazines all make information—or disinformation—widely and instantly available.
So whether or not there is a direct connection between a particular event and the rhetoric being flung around, words matter more than ever. Sticks and stone can only break bones, but words can sully a reputation, destroy a career, lead innocent people to believe falsehoods, and grind to a halt the forward progress of an organization—or a nation.
All people of faith must remember this when entering into the realm of politics. Unfortunately, too often people of faith get sucked into lowering themselves to the often rancid level of political discourse when in fact we are supposed to bring something different to the discussion—if not new ideas, at least a new way of discussing the old ideas.
My friend Brent Walker, Executive Director of the Baptist Joint Committee for Religious Liberty, recently wrote the following:
Our public debate has moral fiber for all of us -- people of faith and non-believers alike. In our pluralistic political culture we will seldom all agree on much of anything, and it is a sign of a vital democracy to debate our differences with passion and intensity. But we must always speak the truth, and do it lovingly and with a touch of humility.
The Hebrew and Christian Scriptures enjoin us to tell the truth, speak from the heart, avoid slander and keep our word. For the Psalmist it was a condition of entry to the Tent of Meeting in the temple. In his first letter, St. Peter says to be ready to make a strong defense of the hope that is within us, but to do it with "gentleness and respect."
Unfortunately, rather than raise the level of debate in the public arena, all too often we bring the low level of political debate into our churches. As you might imagine, I know a lot of pastors and church leaders, and few can say that they have never witnessed this in their churches. Whether in the open at business meetings or through the grapevine where the gossip occurs, most have not only seen it, they have been the target of it. All have been hurt by it. Some have left their churches because of it; other have left the ministry because of it. And that's just pastors. How many have left the church because of it?
This is not a new issue for the church, just as it's not a new issue in politics. As Brent noted above, the ancient Israelites dealt with it, Peter wrote about it, as did James, who called the tongue "a restless evil, full of deadly poison."
Words matter. They have the capacity to wound or to heal, to bring people together or keep them apart, to build the Kingdom of God or to forestall it.
In our speech we can be followers of Jesus, or we can be followers of Rush Limbaugh or Keith Olberman.
But we can't be both.

Hotzpotz: Heidi Klum and Seal were spotted at Matsuhisa, a Sushi restaurant in Beverly Hills that is quite often frequented by Lindsay Lohan and Samantha Ronson, since they are both connoisseurs of "fish".
Heidi and Seal had dinner tonight with the kids. Now we all know Seal does not take kindly at all to photogs… Probably because he knows tabloid media didn't care much for him since he married Heidi. Which is understandable, he hasn't had a hit in a decade, and he probably hates the fact that photogs follow his fine a$$ wife everywhere she goes.
But the dynamic duo and their kin had to call the police, because way too many shutterbugs showed up, causing them to feel a sense of danger about their exit. The police were later called which scared away more than half of them.

In the worst outage suffered by the Sony Playstation 3 Network since 2006, Sony has had to shut down its Playstation Network and Qriocity music service since the evening of April 20th, after revealing an "external intrusion" that was malicious.
The shutdown affects some 77 Million gamers who have way too much time on their hands and play war and fantasy role playing games with other players from all over the world. The United States has some 36 Million PS3 gamers online, with Europe in at 32 Million and Asia comprising 9 Million of the total, mainly in earthquake stricken Japan where Sony is Headquartered.
At first it seemed a security breach that just caused the network to shut down. But now the heads of Sony fear the possibility that credit card information belonging to its 77 Million users may in fact be stolen. From what is reported, it is still too early to tell, but it is definitely something the company has not ruled out.
The organization known as "Anonymous" which has targeted Hustler Magazine, Gene Simmons and of course the Church of Scientology, was originally thought to be the culprit behind the attack, but has denied any involvement in the incident.
The breach could possibly cost the company Billions of dollars. The attack also comes at a bad time for Sony as it just released "SOCOM 4" which is one of Sony's biggest online game franchises. The outage is also giving an edge to Microsoft's XBox gaming platform. Microsoft requires a $60 a year membership for their network, but Sony's is free of charge. While that may help Sony with having problems of refunding membership costs, it will have little consolation to those who use their PS3's to access services such as Netflix, Vudu or Blockbuster Online.
Sony said the 3-digit security code information located on the back of customer credit cards has not been stolen, hopefully making it difficult for fraud criminals to use customer credit lines.
A note leaked onto thee internet this week, alleged to have been sourced from the scientists working at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in Geneva, Switzerland claiming that they have found the elusive Higgs Boson Particle, the elementary particle that is theorized to lend mass to all matter, giving it the nickname, "The God Particle". The existence of the God particle has, at least possibly up until now, exists only in theory, postulated to solve the inconsistencies in theoretical physics.
The search for this particle is the main reason behind the conception and creation of the LHC, which is the world's largest particle collider, primarily built and funded by European countries. It is an underground circular tunnel, 17 miles in circumference, and approximately 600 feet below the Franco-Swiss border in Geneva, Switzerland. It's beginnings received much controversy and opposition from critics that believed that smashing protons into each other at nearly 100% the Speed of Light could create small Black Holes that would eventually lead to the destruction of our world. Regardless of this contention, those that supported the project believed it could lead scientists to understanding the fundamental roots of the existence of our universe and how all was formed and created.
While nothing is yet confirmed, the success of discovering the God Particle still remains uncertain. I also wouldn't doubt that perhaps the buzz of a rumor could be used deceptively, to deceive the public into believing in the success of the LHC, or perhaps as pursuit of further funding.
What I do know is this. We are way too ahead of ourselves. Particle Accelerators, in my opinion are crossing over into dangerous territory, much like the Nuclear Reactors that are housed all over the world, and also responsible from the current soon to be global crisis from the Fukushima Daiichi plant in Japan. If we had to build a $10 Billion Dollar underground tunnel, causing particles to act in a way they are not meant, then we definitely weren't meant to find the God particle in the first place. When it comes to all reactions of this nature, at the subatomic level, you are starting a process that may not end. These are the same reasons why even spent fuel rods are a huge radiation risk for months, even years, requiring the supervision and care that easily failed in a time of disaster such as the March 11th Earthquake and Tsunami.
One day, the energy created in one of their tests will result in a failure, of which the consequences may be catastrophic.
hotzpotz: David Beckham and two of his sons had sushi for dinner on Friday Night, despite hazardous occurrences across the globe. The three Beckham boys were spotted having dinner at Matsuhisa on Friday night, located in Los Angeles's Restaurant Row. Victoria Beckham was noticeably absent, as most pregnant women are unable to eat sushi.
This sushi restaurant is also quite frequented by Lindsay Lohan, Samantha Ronson and Christina Aguilera. Hmmm… Sounds like all three girls like fish.

The already devastated nation of Japan was hit by not one, but two more major aftershocks yesterday, both measuring 6.3 on the Richter scale. And as if that wasn't enough for Japan to have to endure in a day, the government raised the level of their looming Nuclear crisis to equal that of the 1986 Chernobyl disaster, considered the worst in history. With all that is yet to come, the disaster which resulted from damage to the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant as a result of the March 11th 9.0 Earthquake and subsequent Tsunami, will easily be the worst Nuclear disaster in World History. What makes matters worse, is the government has expanded its restricted area, and the tap water, food, soil, air and seawater continues to be contaminated.
World financial markets have already begun to take a beating this morning as well on the recent news, with Japan's stock market droppping the most since the original quake happened just a month ago.
Japan was rocked Thursday by yet another powerful Earthquake measuring 7.4 on the Richter Scale, and located closer to the coast of Japan than the 9.0 quake which struck on March 11th, triggering a powerful Tsunami that devastated the island nation.
This latest quake in a string of earthquakes and aftershocks since March 11th triggered a Tsunami warning in one prefecture and advisories in others. The warnings were (more…)
