"Just received my new cover and I love it! Since I purchased my hot tub new the original cover never really fit properly. You need to convince prospective customers that your process for ordering a custom cover really works best. I did not understand why I couldn't simply tell you the make and model of my Hot Tub and expect it to fit. I now understand what you mean when you say in your web site that you build it to the exact dimensions that the customer orders. Thanks for a quality product!"
"Thank you so much for our new hot tub cover! It came exactly as expected and I really appreciated the frequent email updates you sent while we waited for delivery. The color is great and it really seems to be well made. Put it on as soon as it was delivered, and fits perfectly (actually, better than the original) Our original cover was since 2002, and had survived Hurricane Katrina in 2005, but actually didn't make it through Hurricane Isaac a couple of weeks ago. Glad to know that I could count on your company to make me a new one. Thanks again!"
"Hi! I just wanted to let you know that we have had our new hot tub cover for about one month and we love it! The cover really is much better than anything we could have ordered at a dealer store. The shipping went very well, too. I already left you positive feedback; but felt as though I should email you too! That's how happy we were with the purchase. Thanks again."
"Hi! - I'm sorry we missed your telephone call. I would love to have had the opportunity to compliment your company profusely!! :)
We did receive our cover, exactly when promised. I am very happy that we changed our order and increased the size by 1". It fits perfectly! The lock straps are too short to fit our current clip holders, but I am assuming that is common - that's why new hardware is included. The color is beautiful; the workmanship appears to be high quality. We are anxiously awaiting our energy bill to see if we notice a reduction due to better heat management of our tub now.
Also, the deal we received with free shipping was unbelievable and most appreciated. I lost my employment recently, but we HAD to order a new cover prior to winter or face draining the tub completely. That savings (shipping) in addition to your truly great pricing allowed us to move forward with placing the order. And your choice of shippers? Superb. The driver (UPS freight) actually helped me carry the package into my garage, and had me open it for inspection before having me sign off. This was greatly appreciated, since the package did arrive partially opened. (The driver made comment how the taped ends hold so much better than the ends that are only stapled - just an FYI as the stapled ends were open).
We could not be happier so far, and are using the tub more often again now that our cover is in good repair and easier to handle.
Thank you for a fine product at a remarkable price. I will most certainly complete the seller rating on for you...5 stars!
Sandra Webber"

Royal Ear-Pulling
Is it like finger pulling?
Don't be a prude. You know finger pulling.
Here, pull my finger.
You've never pulled on someone's finger? Or watched someone get their finger pulled?
Look, I don't like to be farted around. But I do enjoy a fart joke. I'm sure that ginger scamp Hot Harry on a Horse enjoys fart jokes too.
His brother too, but he'd be able to hold it together better. Here's his brother, Prince William, and his wife, Princess Catherine, at the Cheltenham Festival today. As you can see, Will is getting his ear pulled by a friend. I don't know this friend. He likely has at least 4 names and is very, very wealthy and may be descended from a line of marrying cousins. This is all the information you need. This is why he's allowed to not only be so close to the future King and Queen of England but to lean over and pull on his hear, much to the delight of Katy Cambridge who can't hold in her amusement.
Big, BIG smiles from the two of them today as they seem to be more relaxed than they've been in a while. Needless to say, after a rough first trimester, Mrs C is feeling a lot better. Baby Grape is being a lot less dramatic.
As for her sister -- Pippa was at the festival yesterday in a horrid yellow coat, dressed like sh-t per usual, flirting with a rich dude.

EDITOR'S NOTE: The Times-Call's series Take Two revisits people we have written about in the past year. Take Two stories will run on Mondays.
LONGMONT -- A Longmont mainstay since 1976, Pacific Auction gained a much higher profile when it moved to North Main Street a year ago.
Owner O.J. Pratt bought 2 acres at 1330 Main St., the former site of Hajek Chevrolet, and moved his company from Boston Avenue.
"It's been amazing to see the difference, it really has," said Pratt, who has owned the business since 1985. "The amount of exposure we've gotten on Main has really increased our auction business."
Nearly 40,000 cars drive by the spot every day, and auction items such as a bright purple "chopper" motorcycle and a 1960 right-hand drive Austin-Healy roadster sitting in the large windows attract eyeballs.
The 25,000-square-foot main building, which used to house the showroom and, in the back, the mechanics bays when it was an auto dealership, has allowed Pratt to develop a sideline to his twice-a-month auction business: the Pacific Events Center.
He rents the front room to groups of 50 or fewer, and the back room can hold up to about 500. He's hosted benefits for nonprofits such as the Make-A-Wish Foundation and Meals on Wheels, and on Feb. 1, the 17th Avenue All Stars a cappella group will perform. It's the first-ever strictly music night the room has hosted, although it's far from the first time a band has played the room.
Pratt said he applied for and got a liquor license from the city, which allows him to book a wide variety of events.
Recently, the center hosted a Nepalese wedding.
"White wine and Johnnie Walker Red" was part of the wedding party's menu, reported Kory Lock, who handles all the events for the center.
Inside the front room, Pratt has installed panels that help buffer the sound from Main Street and give meeting-holders some amount of privacy. Still, there's enough window space on the north and south ends of the building where Lock could park, say, a red convertible to attract attention.
"Everything I put on display in the windows is from the auction," he said.
As for the auction part of his business, Pratt said the variety of items he handles every month is what keeps him excited about his job after all these years.
"You don't know what their value is," Pratt said. "We sold a tea set a while back, nobody bought it at a garage sale for $100, and we sold it at auction for $6,500."

No place to park at top of hill
Where can handicapped and elderly patrons of the Chestnut Hill Library park? Where can parents with small children using the library park? Where can people donating large numbers of books to the library book sale or removing cartons of unsalable items park? There used to be an easy and sensible answer to these questions: the parking lot behind the library, which includes a convenient handicapped space.
However, since April, 2012, when the owners of Spa Elysium and Top of the Hill Plaza took back ownership of the lot from the Parking Foundation, library patrons have not been allowed to park there.
The Friends of the Chestnut Hill Library have gone from distress to frustration to anger in our negotiations with the owner of Spa Elysium to try to solve this problem in a responsible way. The offer made to us of five spaces at the rate of $100 per space per month is unreasonable.
The Friends is a nonprofit group that cannot begin to afford such an expense and, indeed, would not use funds coming from the community intended for materials and programs for such a purpose. The attitude of the parking lot owners is thoughtless, inconsiderate and shows no understanding of the concern for community that is a hallmark of Chestnut Hill businesses.
In addition it shows a lack of interest in and respect for the educational and cultural roles of a community library. We would hate to believe that this negative attitude is shared by the other businesses that use the lot.
Recently one of our handicapped patrons who rides a motorized scooter was stopped at the entrance to the lot and told she was not allowed to park. It was only after pleading that the guard allowed her in "just this once."
How is she supposed to use the library now? What about our many elderly patrons who cannot walk far? Many parents with very young children come to the library to borrow books and attend programs. Where can they safely park?
The Friends' book sales are our major source of revenue. How are those who donate heavy loads of books supposed to do so without parking in the lot? Since there is not even a pay-to-park kiosk as there is in most other lots, such library patrons have no options.
The parking lot in question usually has many empty spaces, and certainly during library hours. Wouldn't designating several for library use at no cost be the right thing to do?
Joanne Dhody, President
Friends of the Chestnut Hill Library
Chestnut Trees still with us
The article by Bleu Lane in the February 26 issue of the Chestnut Hill Local is a bit misleading. Entitled, "Where are Chestnut Hill's Chestnut Trees?" it states, "There are hardly any full grown chestnut trees to be found in Chestnut Hill."
However, that depends on how you define a chestnut tree. There are many different types of chestnut trees. My father had a grove of chestnut trees that produced wonderful, edible chestnuts and that still do. Chestnut Hill is full of glorious chestnut trees, the same kind that line the main street in Madrid, Spain, from which the street gets its name (Castaña).
Though we don't have one of those kinds of chestnut trees on our own property, there are five beautiful, magnificent chestnut trees within a few hundred yards of our home. Chestnut Hill is full of those kinds of chestnut trees.
The type of chestnut tree to which Ms. Lane refers was also a magnificent tree, and unfortunately our countrysides were devastated by the chestnut blight, just as our cities were devastated by Dutch elm disease.
The good news is that there are now blight resistant elm trees, and we have one that is becoming magnificent on our property. Hopefully, the glorious American chestnut will start repopulating our forests. However, it's not just imported, or even local biologic blight which is devastating our forests.
Mankind is the major destroyer, and there is little evidence that will change because our species thinks it owns the planet and can continue to take it over with more and more people. How sad, how ironic, that a species named sapiens has demonstrated so little knowing!

Asked about her favorite book of all time, she said it was too hard a question, like being asked which is your favorite child.
Her favorite character when she was a child was Jo March in "Little Women." Jo wanted to become a writer because she wasn't pretty.. She sold her hair to send her mother to visit their father during the Civil War. "I even forgave her for not marrying Laurie," Ms. Quindlen wrote.
ASKED ABOUT her memories of being read to as a child, the author recalled that her family had a friend who had so many books that she lined them up, library style, in her basement. She introduced Ms. Quindlen to "A Girl of the Limberlost," "Anne of Green Gables" and the Betsy-Tacy series. I had never heard of this last series, which made me feel less well-read than I had thought.
Of the basement library, the author wrote, "I used to go down those steps as if I were entering the U.S. Mint."
Also making me feel uninformed was her answer to the question about what was the best book she had ever received as a gift. "Heavy Metal and You" by Christopher Krovatin , unknown to me, was the reply.
ON THE MATTER of her favorite women writers today, Ms. Quindlen wrote: "There are some women writing terrific novels that pass as crime fiction but transcend the genre. I buy a new Denise Mina, Tana French or Kate Atkinson the moment it appears. Hilary Mantel is finally getting the genuflection she deserves. But there are some women whose backlists should be read by everyone. Mary Wesley should be much better known in the United States than she is."
Again, I have to confess my ignorance.
THE BEST books she has ever read by women journalists was also humbling for me.
"It would be impossible to answer that question at thi moment without starting with Kate Boo's 'Behind the Beautiful Forevers,' which is flawless. When I was on book tour last year I talked about it more than my own book. Adrian Nicole's LeBlanc's 'Random Family' is one of the best books I've ever read about what it's like to be poor in America. I never miss Laura Lippman's novels. She was a reporter at The Baltimore Sun. She still has a reporter's eye. Last year Julia Keller, who was at The Chicago Tribune, published a mystery set in West Virginia called 'A Killing in the Hills.' It made me want to read her next one."
AS TO religion's influence, Ms. Quindlen wrote in answer to a question about what book had the greatest impact on her: "Oh, such a Miss America answer: the Bible. I grew up a Catholic, and it's hard to separate the New Testament from all my aspirations, inspiration and political positions. I'm liberal because of the Sermon on the Mount."

Federal Intelligence Careers: Collection
United States Intelligence Community
October 23, 2007
Individuals working in Intelligence Collection have very unique careers indeed. They work with intelligence analysts to determine the vital information needed to produce finished intelligence. There are six basic intelligence sources or collection disciplines (i.e., SIGINT, IMINT, MASINT, HUMINT, OSINT, and Geospatial Intelligence). Intelligence Collection personnel use technical and human resources to obtain that information. The important issues are diverse and may include international terrorism, proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, missile and space developments, defense-related medical and health issues, counterintelligence, and international drug trafficking, to name a few.
To effectively collect intelligence information you must be able to establish and build interpersonal relationships. The arts of persuasion, negotiation, interviewing, and problem solving will serve you well. The ability to work in ambiguous and unstructured situations is critical. You must be a team player. Language proficiency in one or more foreign languages is desired, and a bachelor's degree is often required. Individuals within this career come from a variety of backgrounds such as nuclear, biological, or chemical engineering; international economics; business; or the physical sciences. Prior foreign travel, residency abroad, or military experience is a plus.
US citizenship is required. All applicants must successfully complete an extensive background investigation. Some positions may also require medical and psychological examinations and a polygraph interview.

Revision as of 21:33, 23 June 2007
Fever (also known as Fever Zine) is a quarterly zine based in London, United Kingdom.
Fever was created by British music journalist Alex Zamora who also publishes and edits the zine.
24 black and white pages. Its front and back covers are printed on pink paper while the inside pages are white. It uses distinctive and original typography on its cover and on its article titles.
Fever's main focus is Music. It also covers Art, Fashion, DIY culture and other zines. It has a slight bias towards covering art and music from the city of Liverpool in the United Kingdom. It contains writing, photography and illustration by a variety of contributors, all of which are listed on its Myspace profile.
Its contributors are wholly drawn from Myspace and range from art students to professionals from the U.K. and the rest of the world.
According to its Myspace profile its main outlet is the profile itself, using Paypal as a payment method. The profile also lists physical outlets around the United Kingdom and one in Barcelona, Spain. A separate list on the profile details forthcoming stockists in the U.K. and the rest of the world.
The zine is widely promoted on Myspace. The cover of Issue 1 is regularly used as a calling card on Fever's Myspace friends' profiles.
Issue 1 was first published in early 2007 and created using Microsoft Word.
According to their blog, Issue 2 of Fever is due to go on sale at independent publishing fair Publish And Be Damned in London on July 29th, 2007.
Fever is also refered to as 'Fever Zine' on Myspace.
Issue 1's cover was purposefully left blank, with only the Fever logo present. According to Fever's blog this was done to establish the zine's logo and identity with readers.

ReleasesBack to
Paul Chambers
Ike Quebec's 1961-1962 comeback albums for Blue Note were all pretty rewarding, but Blue and Sentimental is his signature statement of the bunch, a superbly sensuous blend of lusty blues swagger and achingly romantic ballads. True, there's no shortage of that on Quebec's other Blue Note dates, but Blue and Sentimental is the most exquisitely perfected. Quebec was a master of mood and atmosphere, and the well-paced program here sustains his smoky, late-night magic with the greatest consistency of tone. Part of the reason is that Quebec's caressing tenor sound is given a sparer backing than usual, with no pianist among the quartet of guitarist Grant Green, bassist Paul Chambers, and drummer Philly Joe Jones. It's no surprise that Green solos with tremendous taste and elegance (the two also teamed up onGreen's similarly excellent Born to Be Blue), and there are plenty of open spaces in the ensemble forQuebec to shine through. His rendition of the Count Basie-associated title cut is a classic, and the other standard on the original LP, "Don't Take Your Love From Me," is in a similarly melancholy vein. Greencontributes a classic-style blues in "Blues for Charlie," and Quebec's two originals, "Minor Impulse" and "Like," have more complex chord changes but swing low and easy. Through it all, Quebec remains the quintessential seducer, striking just the right balance between sophistication and earthiness, confidence and vulnerability, joy and longing. It's enough to make Blue and Sentimental a quiet, sorely underrated masterpiece. (The CD reissue adds three bonus cuts, all standards, which fit the program very nicely indeed.)

First in Series of Reports on First-Year Teachers Shows Major Differences Between Elementary and Secondary Teachers on How Long They Plan to Teach and How Much Their Students Are Learning
Public Agenda and the National Comprehensive Center for Teacher Quality today released research indicating that new high school and middle school teachers, challenged by their teen-aged students, are much more concerned about administrative support, more frustrated by student motivation and behavior, less likely to see teaching as a lifelong career choice and less likely to believe that all students can achieve in school than new teachers in elementary schools.
The series, Lessons Learned: New Teachers Talk About Their Jobs, Challenges and Long-Term Plans, is based on a nationwide survey of first-year teachers and aims to help leaders in education and government understand more about the quality of current teacher education and the on-the-job support and mentoring for new teachers. Issue No. 1: The Special Challenges of New Teachers in High Schools and Middle Schools provides ample evidence that new teachers in middle and high school feel most vulnerable to challenging teaching conditions.
The full report and complete questionnaire are available online at: http://www.publicagenda.org/reports/lessons-learned-new-teachers-talk-about-their-jobs-challenges-and-long-range-plans-issue-no-1
The research will be discussed on a live web cast on organized by NCCTQ on Thursday, October 11, 2007 34:30 p.m. (Eastern Time). Registration and more information about the web discussion is at this link: http://compx11.eventcenterlive.com/cfmx/ec/register/reg.cfm?BID=1&RegID=D1C069B4
According to the survey, compared to new elementary school teachers, new high school and middle school teachers are: -Less likely to say that teaching is exactly what they want to be doing
-More likely to report frustrations with student motivation and behavior
-More likely to be concerned about lack of administrative support in their schools
-Less likely to believe that good teachers can lead all students to learn
-Less likely to say they regard teaching as a long-term career choice
-More likely to say that their preparation was too theoretical and did not focus enough on practical classroom issues
"We all know that kids become a handful in the teen years, so we shouldnt be surprised that teaching kids this age is especially challenging," said Public Agenda Executive Vice President and Director of Education Insights Jean Johnson. "What's more worrying is the number of brand new teachers who seem to have been left dangling in challenging new jobs. These new high school and middle school teachers are more likely to say their training wasnt practical enough, and less likely to say they get good advice from colleagues once theyre on the job."
Sabrina Laine, Director of NCCTQ which commissioned and helped to design the research said, This research tells us that we need to pay substantially more attention to the distinctive issues new high school and middle school teachers face. Effective training, supportive leadership, and motivation are essential for teachers of all students, but clearly there are special challenges at the secondary level that the field is not adequately addressing.
REL Midwest, part of a federally funded network of 10 regional educational laboratories, gave instrumental aid in the questionnaire design and analysis of the research. To Steve Cantrell, Director of REL-Midwest, the results have significant implications for teacher education practices in the Midwest and nationwide: We've focused a lot on secondary teachers' subject preparation, but this study reveals that the real pain point for new teachers is students' lack of motivation and discipline. New teachers need effective strategies in these areas.
It may be that many of those who pursue teaching in middle and high schools versus those who chose to teach in elementary schools have different motivations from the start. The new high school and middle school teachers are less likely to say that teaching is something theyve wanted to do for a long time (52 percent for secondary teachers versus 68 percent for elementary teachers) and they are less likely to strongly agree that its what they really want to be doing now (47 percent versus 61 percent).
What does get secondary teachers jazzed? Most new teachers say that the idea of teaching subjects they love and helping underprivileged students are more important reasons for choosing the profession than practical advantages such as summers off and job security. But for the new high school teachers, teaching a subject they love is an even more important factor.
New middle and high school teachers are more likely to criticize their training for putting too much emphasis on theory compared to the practical demands of the classroom. More than half (53 percent) of new high school teachers say their preparation was too theoretical, while just 40 percent of new elementary teachers say this.
Majorities of all new teachers voice a general level of satisfaction with their administrators and fellow teachers, but new high school and middle school teachers are less satisfied. The differences are especially notable in the teachers assessments on the advice they get from other teachers and mentors. Just a quarter of new high school teachers (26 percent) say they get excellent advice on lesson plans and teaching techniques compared to 39 percent of elementary school teachers. There is also a 10-point difference on the advice they get about handling unmotivated students 31 percent of high school teachers say they get excellent advice and 41 percent of grade school teachers say they get excellent advice on this.
For those concerned about teachers ability to reach out to students of all backgrounds, perhaps the most disconcerting finding in the research is the very striking difference among the secondary school teachers on whether disadvantaged students can learn. While the vast majority of elementary teachers (80 percent) say that good teachers can lead all students to learn, even those from poor families or who have uninvolved parents, significantly fewer (62 percent) of new secondary school teachers say this.
Fifty-one percent of new high school and middle school teachers (compared to a 25 percent of elementary teachers) say that too many unmotivated students just going through the motions is a major drawback to teaching. New secondary school teachers are also somewhat more likely (41 percent) than elementary school teachers (33 percent) to consider too many kids with discipline and behavior issues a major drawback to teaching.
For strong majorities of the new teachers, regardless of their grade level, two items topped their list of recommendations for improving the profession overall. The first is reducing class sizes, and the second is giving teachers better preparation to individualize teaching in a diverse classroom. Public Agendas surveys of teachers overall show a similar pattern even teachers with more experience rank reducing class size as their top priority for improving education.
How important is salary? New teachers are concerned about salary and lack of opportunity for growth, with a majority (78 percent) seeing it as either a major or minor drawback of the profession. But only a third of new teachers consider salary a major drawback to their profession, and this concern ranks well below issues such as unmotivated students, testing and classroom discipline problems. More than two-thirds of new teachers (68 percent) say it is possible for a teacher to make a decent living; new teachers overwhelmingly would choose better working conditions over higher salaries; and just 13 percent say merit pay and sanctions for student performance would be a very effective way to improve the profession.
The findings in Issue 1 of Lessons Learned: New Teachers Talk About Their Jobs, Their Challenges and Their Long-Term Plans are based a national survey of 641 first-year teachers. Interviews were conducted between March 12 and April 23, 2007. It included 111 items covering issues related to teacher training, recruitment, professional development and retention. The study explored why new teachers come into the profession, what their expectations are and what factors contribute to their desire to either stay in teaching or leaving it. The margin of error is plus or minus four percentage points; it is higher when comparing percentages across subgroups. Selected survey results can be found at publicagenda.org.
The National Comprehensive Center for Teacher Quality is the premier national resource to which the regional comprehensive assistance centers, states, and other education stakeholders turn for strengthening the quality of teachingespecially in high-poverty, low-performing, and hard-to-staff schoolsand for finding guidance in addressing specific needs, thereby ensuring highly qualified teachers are serving students with special needs. NCCTQ, funded by the U.S. Department of Education, is a collaborative effort of Education Commission of the States, ETS, Learning Point Associates, and Vanderbilt University.

Today's featured quilt is Lucia's "Trudy's-Arse-Kicking-Quilt." While this isn't the result of a virtual quilting bee, it is a stellar example of collaboration within the modern quilting community. We found it in the Quilting Bee Quilts Flickr group and when we heard the story, we couldn't help but want to share it with you. It's a long story, but take some time to read it. You may be inspired!
Tell us about your quilt.
I have never in my life felt 'called' to do something, until the making of this quilt. In late summer 2010, we found out a friend from high school, Errick, was diagnosed with stage 4 colo-rectal cancer. He and his family were all I could think about after hearing the news. I knew I needed to do something for them. After reading how Errick appreciated the warm hospital blankets, I knew a quilt was the answer. I quickly realized that I needed help making the quilt because I have very little masculine fabric. (I am a mom to three little girls, ages 4, 2 ½, and 6 months at the time.) Once the idea of a collaborative quilt was formed, I knew it was the way to go because I wanted to show Errick how many people cared for him by the number of hands that went into making the quilt.
I put out a call for help on my blog and on flickr to anyone willing to help. I showed an example block and gave the collaborators instructions on block style, colors, size, the style of fabrics and a deadline. With some help from Flickr quilting friends and my guild, the Dallas Modern Quilt Guild, the word spread and the response was truly overwhelming. Within days, quilt blocks started showing up in my mailbox.
I knew I wanted to get the quilt to Errick as soon as possible so I did not give the collaborators a lot of turnaround time (less than a week, I think). Despite that, I ended up with 214 cross blocks made by 61 quilters from across the US, Canada and UK. Trudy's Arse Kicking Quilt ended up being a large twin size quilt and I squeezed 117 cross blocks into it.
The quilt was a collaboration on many levels: making the blocks, donations for giveaway prizes to the block makers, donations of fabric and batting; a donation of the quilt label by Tula Pink; and a donation of the quilting by a longarm quilter near me.
In my mind, the making of this quilt was just as important of the finished piece. I put together a book to go along with the quilt care package going to Errick and his family. The book told the story of how the quilt came to be, highlighted some special blocks and listed the cities where everyone was from who sent in blocks.
This story doesn't end with Trudy's Arse Kicking Quilt. With the rest of the block trimmings from TAKQ, I made a mini quilt, Trudy Trimmings. I just couldn't throw away the block trimmings; they somehow felt sacred to me, so I had to make something with them. I thought Errick's young son could one day use this mini to tuck in his bears.
And then there were the extra cross blocks (nearly 100). I turned half of the extras plus some orange blocks I made into a small quilt, Trudy Too for Errick's son. The other half of the blocks have yet to be put together and turned into a quilt (to be named Trudy Tres). I have already figured out block placement for Trudy Tres and would like to finish it this year.
Errick and his family truly appreciated the quilt and extras. He is continuing to fight the cancer (now in his lungs, adrenal gland and liver) and just this week celebrated his 34th birthday.
Tell us your thoughts on virtual quilting bees and about your bee experience.
I have participated in two virtual quilting bees (the last one ending more than a year ago). While I appreciated my time in them, I do not think I will be joining another any time soon. I am at a time in my life when I have very limited free time: my husband travels more than 50 percent of the time (and works long hours when home), we have three little girls (now almost 6, 4 and 2) and no family in-state.
I participated in a swap and two bees and realized that I did not have a lot of time left for sewing for me. In a later chapter in my life, I would consider joining a bee again, probably through my guild. That said, I have contributed/am contributing to some collaborative quilts when the opportunity presents itself. At this time, I much prefer helping with a collaborative quilt for a specific person or need, instead of participating in a virtual quilting bee.
Tell us a bit about you as a quilter.
I discovered the world of modern quilting in the spring of 2009 and was instantly hooked. Funny thing… I never thought I would make quilting a hobby after making a rag quilt for my daughter in 2006. Everything about the hobby seemed so tedious. I have a different point of view now, obviously.
I most enjoy designing and figuring out my own quilt patterns. I almost always sketch my quilts out before I begin (either by hand or digitally with Illustrator). I am lost without my sketches.

California Department of Transportation
February 4, 2011
District 4 - Oakland
Bernard Walik
Phone: 510-286-5705
Santa Clara County – The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans), the Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority (VTA), and the city of San Jose today celebrated the beginning of a project that will help relieve chronic traffic jams on U.S. Highway 101 by replacing the Tully Road overcrossing in San Jose.
The $45 million project includes $17 million from Proposition 1B, a transportation bond passed by voters in November 2006, $4 million from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Recovery Act), and $24 million in regional and local funding.
"Every investment in infrastructure is an investment in California's future," said Caltrans Director Cindy McKim. "Transportation projects are improving the quality of life for all Californians while at the same time spurring job growth to support the state's economy."
The project, which is expected to be completed late spring 2012, will construct an additional lane on southbound U.S. 101 from south of Story Road to north of Capitol Expressway and a southbound merging lane from Tully Road to Capitol Expressway. The project will also replace the Tully Road / Highway 101 interchange, adding a new lane in each direction, widen the on and off-ramps, and install traffic signals.
"It is amazing what can be accomplished when federal, state, and local governments collaborate," stated Bijan Sartipi, Caltrans District 4 Director. "Through partnering, Caltrans, VTA, and the city of San Jose are moving forward with transportation solutions that will benefit not only the region but the entire state."
The downturn in the nation's economy has resulted in fierce competition among contractors with bids on projects much lower than expected. The Highway 101/Tully Road project was awarded $12 million below the estimated cost. This savings can be shifted to other transportation projects.
"It was truly a team effort bringing this project to fruition," said Michael T. Burns, Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority General Manager. "Not only transportation officials, but also elected officials such as Congresswoman Zoe Lofgren and Santa Clara County Supervisor Dave Cortese have worked tirelessly to secure the funding for this much anticipated improvement project."
"The improvement to U.S. 101 and Tully Road is a great example of a project that will not only rebuild our roads, but also help rebuild our economy by creating jobs and getting people back to work," said Vice Mayor Madison Nguyen. "These improvements will greatly ease congestion and make San Jose a more attractive choice for business, employment, and tourism."
To date, Caltrans and the California Transportation Commission have allocated nearly $7 billion in Proposition 1B funding to more than 1,000 projects statewide. California has also obligated nearly $2.6 billion in Recovery Act funding to nearly 1,000 highway, local street, and job training transportation projects statewide.

Spa 2006 Photo Diary
It was a dark and stormy night....
Just kidding Thought it would be a good idea to clue everyone up on our rites of passage through the continent last week. Several of our clan are still out there and I'm sure there will be many more photos to be added as the days pass by.
First of all though, a mention in despatches for two individuals in particular. First, a huge thank you to the Swede (aka Nutty Professor) who put in much of his time to organise a large portion of the trip behind the scenes and made sure we all got to where we were supposed to be and had somewhere to rest and enjoy the full hospitality of our Belgian hosts.
Also, many thanks to Dan for having the idea in the first place and doing a lot of running around to coordinate the UK side of the venture.
So, without further ado, let's see just a few of the many snaps taken. No doubt the rest of the journeyers will pop stuff up from their pics too (I know Dan has a particularly interesting pic of Spike! )
A wonderful shot showing the Woz-machine entering Brussels. The poor sods didn't know what hit them. It was like a military ambush. From here we toured through Brussels underground in the most amazing tunnels. Six cars with exhausts ranting at max flow proved so scary that other cars braked at the noise and one poor woman was so scared she covered her ears inside her car!
Junior Swede offers his dad his prized 'Bob The Builder' spanner set to help do some urgent mods prior to running round the 'ring
Taken from the cafe at the 'ring. A WR1 eases back into the paddock after a lap.
After lots of confusing signs we finally made it to the track! The 'ring has thoughtfully installed ticket barriers on the right-hand side for us Brits.
The only time my wife opened her eyes on a lap of the 'ring was to take this photo. Frankly, I'm amazed it came out so well! Little Miss Wr1te-off giggled all the way round and I wasn't allowed to do a single lap without her once she'd been out.
Overlooking the stands at the top of Eau Rouge at Spa
An unwitting Porsche entrant struggles to understand why the ferry embarkation lanes are so short, and why they are so far away from the water
The paddock at the back of the pit lane. Thankfully we got our own pit garage shortly after, and the spectators gradually migrated from garage to garage till they spent all their time crawling over the Scoobs and Evo's.
Spa. Notice how wet it was - something which was to provide a challenging day on the track. Nobody else got a chance to see Spa town, but the missus went with the Swede back to the hotel for something. Hmmmm...
A doctorate in Phyics. Degrees from Harvard and Cambridge. Honorariums from Oxford, MIT, and Yale. .... and yet the Swede still struggles to understand the Ikea instructions on how to build a toy car. Luckily a couple of small kids were on hand to show him how to do it
Junior Swede and Little Miss Wr1te-off
'... and I'm telling you I'm average height and you're all tall freaks!'
OK, here's a little competition. Can you work out who's who from this shot? The next photo should give you the clues. Answers on a postcard.
Altogether for a meal in Leuven
Ice cream paradise, and only one Euro!!
Stunning architecture in Leuven. Poesy, will your new house look like this?
The girls have a good laugh when Spike finally discloses his salary
'I'm middle class. I look up to him because......' Joined by Jochen, one of the Swede's friends, and no mean driver himself.
The Awards (in my opinion only )
Biggest Radio Bandit - goes to Spike for getting his battery to run out at least a day before everybody elses. Oi, Oi, Saveloy!!
Biggest Party Animal - goes to Spike again. Not only a full sweep till the wee small hours each night, but a full monty till 09:30 in the morning with 1mposter.
Quickest Driver - goes to the Swede. Sideways everywhere and faster than us all. However, in fairness, Woza was on Toyo 888's on a wet track. On the public road I'm sure the Swede was even quicker than on track still!!
Safest Driver - goes to 1mposter. I'm not saying that he was slow (in fact he's very quick indeed) - just that he was the smoothest and has the best alertness and anticipation. He also has the best-sounding car at speed on the track.
Most Photographed Driver - goes to Woza. Just everywhere we went heads were on stalks and would swivel through 180 degrees at the sheer beauty of that car and the amazing exhaust.
Unluckiest Driver - goes to 1mposter. Hampered by brake issues cost a new splitter, and further problems saw a suspected exhaust gasket to blow. More news on that when they get back to Blighty soon....
Most British Driver - goes to Dan. For insisting on driving on the left hand side when nobody else thought it was a good idea
Luckiest Driver - self-awarded on this one, I'm afraid. Aquaplaned on the pit straight towards the hairpin at la source. Ended up doing 100mph just six inches away from the rather solid concrete wall....
Spun for over 100 metres - it was so far that race control had to use two camera positions to capture the full video. Sadly I can't get a copy. Myself and Woza's mate have seen it though. The most surprising thing is that I escaped with no damage. The Gods were definitely smiling on me that day.
This is the second time I've driven the Spa/'ring combo, and it ranks right up there as one of the most enjoyable experiences I've had. What's most remarkable is that thirteen people from different strokes got on so well that there was a true community and friendship throughout. In itself that's a stunning achievement.
Viva WR1OC
Roll on 2007.
Some nice pics there.
Looks like you all had a great time
The WR1oc still rocks...
Even if i do drive a Smart car!...
Great pics and superb comments, Harry !!!
Love the pic of the feet under the table. My feet are the first on the left (blue wintershoes ), I think the white sportshoes are Stuart or Spike
True that Woza was on dry tires. Although those Advan A046's we got standard on the Evo's are about as useless in the rain.
Found out meanwhile why my car was handling like a hyperactive wheelbarrow: allignment was completely out of wack at the rear. Been fixed by Guy Colsoul (ex rallychamp) and feels much more stable now.
PS: Who was even faster on the public road ?
Spot-on with the under-table contest, Prof You're the winner BTW, Little Miss WR1TE-OFF took the piccy.
Fastest person on the public road was my wife. Her sphincter was moving quicker than anything else for miles around!!
She also seems to be an accomplished flier to judge from the "brace position" she was taking when I was racing the bloke with the new M5 on the dual carriage way to Aalst.
Gd pics n comms..
Next year, my good friend. Next year! Get yer name down!!
Good pics and story, what a great community , in the main, we scooby woners are, really plased all enjoyed themselves.
Hey Millie
How are you doing matey,long time no hear???
What you driving now mate? you still in the 1?
Crash bang wollop!!

Spa Day
I've spent the better part of the last few weeks either at the beach or in close proximity to a tent, and neither location really lends itself to self-preservation.
I've been repeatedly drenched in saltwater, done without a hairbrush and hairdryer, made do with cleansing wipes and sunscreen in place of moisturiser, got a little sunburned and a lot windswept, and at points had access only to a very refreshing cold shower.
Back to civilisation now though and thought the time was definitely right for a spa day.
With a big snuggly Karen Walker towel to wrap up in, the ingredients for this include:
Looks I Like
Looks I like this week include:
- Slouchy cotton sweatshirts, particularly in grey marle.
- Big t-shirts with rolled sleeves.
- Navy with white polka dots.
- Embellished canvas sneaks.
- Cutout toes.
- Trans-seasonal beanies.
- Chain straps.
December 30, 2012
Hope everyone had a lovely Christmas, and best of wishes for the new year…
Thanks so much for reading!
Back soon!

DIY Dog Fence10:28:00 PM
I know... she's amazing...
I attached metal screening with heavy duty staples and screws and washers at each corner.
it should look nice.
** Update. Yes, she got out! Climbed right up the wire and over the top! My new solution which worked perfectly was to add plexiglass to the inside of the fence. This keeps her from climbing the wire.

Susan, I love this fence! Looks like you had it custom made. Your dog is quite a cutie!ReplyDelete
I saw your Jack Russell pop up in my google reader and I had to swing by and leave a comment! I had a Jack Russell for years...just loved her, but man, she was a jumper! We couldn't keep her penned in anywhere! We called her Houdini(sp?)dog because she'd get out of everything including a 5ft tall fenced yard we constructed for her. We spent all weekend making it and we put her in and she promptly jumped over the top! We ended up having to put a roof on it.ReplyDelete
They are such intelligent dogs... she always knew what we were saying to her. Maybe when my kids are older and I have more energy, I can get another one :)
LOL, Susan! She's probably plotting a way around this now! : )ReplyDelete
Ah ha ha ha ha ha.ReplyDelete
Awesome! Beautiful solution! I can't believe she can get over your obstacles. We seriously used "gate" for a Christmas tree scene (probably 4" high) and our doxie would not go over it. lol! Hoping this pretty gate solves your problem! :)ReplyDelete
He looks guilty...I love your fence - I would hang it on the wall.ReplyDeleteReplies
Soooo guilty Holly! It would make a pretty cool organizer and memo holder! LOLDelete
Is it easy to move or something that you keep permanent? I love this!ReplyDelete
- Jenni C.August 18, 2012 at 5:27 PM
Beautiful gate.. I too, had to put a fence up in the kitchen area to keep the dogs from breaking out every time the door opened. Imagine a JRT, a Rat Terrier & a 70# pittie all running at you...lol.. After seeing your fancy gate, I'm going to redo ours - because you shamed me ;)ReplyDelete
Terriers and their natural tendency to jump and escape! LOL - I sure hope your little guy won't be a world class jumper and escape from this baby!ReplyDelete
We had a Cairn who didn't like being gated, so he chewed the the entire side of a wall and pushed the gate through the doorway so he could make his way out of the kitchen. (the house didn't have cased out doorways) When I got home from work, he met me at the door with his face full of what I deemed to be white flour, but I couldn't figure out how he could possibly have gotten into the cupboard where I kept the package of flour. Little did I know until I entered the kitchen that it was drywall dust from a ginormous whole in the wall! What a little dickens.... Funny- that really WAS his name!
Hello! Your post made me laugh a lot!ReplyDelete
I have a Jack Russell too (7 months) and I use my old baby fence! Luckily I found it at my mother's house and brought it home. So, she has a "vintage fence" now, haha.
If you want you can watch it here,
Besos (kisses) from Argentina, Silvina.
Susan ~ this is over the top cute! Love the idea. hugs, mbReplyDelete
The fence looks amazing. I love the extra bling you added to it. Way too cute. The scarf storage is also just the cutest ever. Now that is really clever. Hugs, MartyReplyDelete
Yes my question is...Is this a permantant thing or can you move it out of the way easily??ReplyDeleteReplies
It is attached to the wall with large eye screws so it can easily be removed, though it is a little heavy and awkward. I can slide it out the door onto the deck if needed.Delete
I agree,...she is plotting and figuring as we speak!! I hate to be a "Negative Nellie", but I can just see her little toes using that wire mesh just like steps on a ladder to get to freedom!! You did a great job of constructing the panel, and it looks way cute with your decorative touches. Let us know how long it takes for the Prison Break to happen.ReplyDeleteReplies
Linda I want to cry... she was out and over the top in less than a week! This darn dog can fly!!!!!Delete
- AnonymousNovember 16, 2012 at 11:13 AM
Love the fence! I actually made one, although not nearly as nice as yours to keep our dog out of our dining room and she lasted about a week as well. We tried a number of things and ended up having to use an electronic barrier that worked with her dog fence outside, so she just wore her dog fence collar all the time. We did lots of training, took a couple of months and we now haven't even had the barrier on for 6 months and she doesn't go in the room.ReplyDelete
Good luck with your escape artist.
Hello! I thought I'd ask how well your fence is holding up? I currently have an old French door on its side, wedged across a doorway. Not pretty. I have lots of fencing and think your idea is nice and clean. I, however, have 3 dogs of varying ingenuity and size. One's a Korgie-ish/Spaniel type who lifts the fence outside, lets the others out, then puts the fence back. She also chews through drywall to get to the other side. The other two, a foster Pug and foster Chihuahua (oh, the noise!) are followers, but if the hole is big enough? They're through it.ReplyDelete
How's it working after October's escape? Did you make it taller?
Great idea!! Too cute...the dog and the gate :)ReplyDelete
Wonder if you put an "awning" along the top, if that would keep her from climbing over? (could add to the charm of your gate, as well?)ReplyDelete
Our JR mix loves to go under things. So we put chicken wire between the bottom of our wooden fence and the ground, burying it a bit. This has stopped that problem!ReplyDelete
What about a roll bar at the top. some nicely painted PVC that spins so the dog cant get a grip.ReplyDelete
Hi, Susan. Although this is an old post, I'm wondering if it would be possible to see a picture of the side with the metal screen attached? I'm going to need a very long gate or blockade of some sort to section off my huge open shelving unit that houses a bunch of random storage things, but don't want to spend a fortune on multiple store-bought gates. Thanks so much!ReplyDeleteReplies
