Expand for Important Safety Information and Indications
Growth hormone should not be used to increase height in children after the growth plates have closed.
Growth hormone should not be used in patients with diabetes who have certain types of diabetic retinopathy (eye problems).
Growth hormone should not be used in patients who have been recently diagnosed with cancer, with cancer, or who are being treated for cancer. Growth hormone deficiency can be caused by brain tumors. So, the presence of these brain tumors should be ruled out before treatment is started. Growth hormone should not be used if it is shown that a previous brain tumor has come back or is getting larger.
Growth hormone should not be used in patients who are critically ill because of surgery, trauma, or respiratory failure.
Growth hormone should not be used in children with Prader-Willi syndrome who are very overweight or have severe breathing problems.
GENOTROPIN should not be used by patients who have had an allergy or bad reaction to somatropin or any of the other ingredients in GENOTROPIN. In the event of an allergic reaction, seek prompt medical attention.
Some patients have developed diabetes mellitus while taking GENOTROPIN. Dosage of diabetes medicines may need to be adjusted during growth hormone treatment. Patients should be watched carefully if growth hormone is given along with glucocorticoid therapy and/or other drugs that are processed by the body in the same way.
In childhood cancer survivors, treatment with growth hormone may increase the risk of a new tumor, particularly certain benign brain tumors. This risk may be higher in patients who were treated with cranial radiation. Also, patients and their doctors should check regularly for skin changes.
A small number of patients treated with growth hormone have had increased pressure in the brain. This can cause headaches and problems with vision. Treatment should be stopped and reassessed in these patients. Patients with Turner syndrome and Prader-Willi syndrome may be at higher risk of developing increased pressure in the brain.
Thyroid function should be checked regularly during growth hormone therapy. Thyroid hormone replacement therapy should be started or adjusted if needed.
Patients treated with growth hormone should be checked regularly for low serum cortisol levels and/or the need to increase the dose of the glucocorticoids they are taking.
In children experiencing rapid growth, curvature of the spine may develop or worsen. This is also called scoliosis. Patients with scoliosis should be checked regularly to make sure their scoliosis does not get worse during their growth hormone therapy.
In children experiencing rapid growth, limping or hip or knee pain may occur. If a child getting growth hormone therapy starts to limp or gets hip or knee pain, the child's doctor should be notified and the child should be examined.
Growth hormone should only be used during pregnancy if clearly needed. It should be used with caution in nursing mothers because it is not known whether growth hormone is passed into human milk.
Use a different place on the body each day for growth hormone injections. This can help to prevent skin problems such as lumpiness or soreness.
Some cases of pancreatitis (inflamed pancreas) have been reported rarely in children and adults receiving growth hormone. There is some evidence that there is a greater risk of this in children than in adults. Literature suggests that girls who have Turner syndrome may have a greater risk of pancreatitis than other children taking growth hormone. In any child who develops lasting, severe abdominal pain, pancreatitis should be considered.
In studies of GENOTROPIN in children with GHD, side effects included injection site reactions, such as pain, redness/swelling, inflammation, bleeding, scarring, lumps, or rash. Other side effects were fat loss, headache, blood in the urine, low thyroid activity, and mildly increased blood sugar.
In studies of GENOTROPIN in children born SGA, side effects included temporarily elevated blood sugar, increased pressure in the brain, early puberty, abnormal jaw growth, injection site reactions, growth of moles, and worsening of scoliosis (curvature of the spine).
Deaths have been reported with the use of growth hormone in children with Prader-Willi syndrome. These children were extremely overweight, had breathing problems, and/or lung infection. All patients with Prader-Willi syndrome should be examined for these problems. They should also establish healthy weight control.
In studies of GENOTROPIN in children with PWS, side effects included fluid retention, aggressiveness, joint and muscle pain, hair loss, headache, and increased pressure in the brain.
Turner syndrome patients taking growth hormone therapy may be more likely to get ear infections. This is also called otitis media.
In studies of GENOTROPIN in children with Turner syndrome, side effects included flu, throat, ear, or sinus infection, runny nose, joint pain, and urinary tract infection.
In studies of GENOTROPIN in children with ISS, side effects included respiratory illnesses, flu, throat infection, inflammation of the nose and throat, stomach pain, headaches, increased appetite, fever, fracture, mood changes, and joint pain.
Women who are taking estrogen by mouth may take GENOTROPIN. They may need a larger dose of growth hormone.
GENOTROPIN may be taken by the elderly when appropriate. Elderly patients may be more likely to have side effects with growth hormone therapy.
In studies of GENOTROPIN in adults with GHD, side effects included fluid retention, joint or muscle pain, stiffness, and changes in sensation. Usually these side effects did not last long and depended on the dose of GENOTROPIN being taken.
GENOTROPIN cartridges contain m-Cresol and should not be used by patients allergic to it.
A health care provider will help you with the first injection. He or she will also train you on how to inject GENOTROPIN.

First Prize - Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II (XBox 360, Playstation 3, or Nintendo Wii, Winner's Choice)
Explore more of the hidden shadows of the Sith with this sequel to the hit game Star Wars: The Force Unleashed. Starkiller, Darth Vader's apprentice, returns with over-the-top Force powers and embarks on a journey to discover his own identity and to reunite with his one true love, Juno Eclipse. In Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II, Starkiller is once again the pawn of Darth Vader -- but instead of training his protégée as a ruthless assassin, the dark lord is attempting to clone his former apprentice in an attempt to create the Ultimate Sith warrior. The chase is on -- Starkiller is in pursuit of Juno and Darth Vader is hunting for Starkiller.
With all-new devastating Force powers and the ability to dual-wield lightsabers, Starkiller cuts a swath through deadly new enemies across exciting worlds from the Star Wars films -- all in his desperate search for answers to his past.
Second Prize - The Godfather II (XBox 360 or Playstation 3, Winner's Choice)

To help players manage their empire, The Godfather II introduces "The Don's View" -- an innovative strategy meta-game that allows players to oversee the entire world as they grow the family business. Using the Don's View, players will be able to build, defend and expand their crime rings, while keeping an eye on the movements and plans of the rival families.

Set in the original 60's Bond era, the game features movie-based missions as well as original, action-intensive sequences, a broad and deep variety of gameplay, fully-integrated vehicles, social multiplayer experiences, gorgeous women, and classic, upgradeable weapons and gadgetry with modern mechanics.

Comcast (NASDAQ: CMCSA) is the nation's largest cable television and Internet service provider in terms of number of customers served. Comcast served 23.6 million cable customers in 39 states, 15.9 million high-speed Internet customers, and 7.6 million voice (phone) customers and passed over 51.2 million homes and businesses across 39 states.[1]
In December 2009, General Electric Company (GE) gave Comcast a 51% stake in its NBC Universal division. In addition to $6.5 billion in cash, Comcast will merge its cable networks and web assets, valued at $7.25 billion, with NBC Universal.[2] The deal was one of the largest in recent media business history, and gave Comcast additional profitable cable franchises.[3] NBC Universal was the segment of GE that had the highest operating margin for five of the past six years, and as such, Comcast benefits a lot from the deal. Further, many analysts believe that the once-powerful NBC Universal will thrive again under Comcast with programming and a focus on digital initiatives like Hulu and the large number of cable channels that are part of the deal.[4]
Comcast is the nation's largest provider of cable services by number of subscribers, offering a variety of entertainment, information, and communication services to residential and commercial customers. The company's largest operating segment is its Cable Division, which includes primarily its video, Internet, and phone services. Comcast serve over 23.6 million video customers, 15.9 million high-speed Internet customers, and 7.6 million phone customers.[1] In addition to its Cable Division, Comcast also earns revenue through its Programming Division.
With more than 85% [8] of television owners already paying for cable or satellite services, the number of new potential cable customers is limited. New homes are an important source of new customers for cable companies and as a result, growth in the cable industry is closely tied with growth in the housing market. Furthermore, the company believes that weakened consumer spending in 2010 will further slow expansion of its Cable services.
Comcast's already large customer base--the largest in the industry--means that their best future customers may already be in their base. Given the limited universe of potential new cable customers, a significant growth area is selling to their current cable customers other services, namely Internet and voice services. Comcast brands this strategy their "Triple Play," otherwise known as bundling.
Bundling is the marketing strategy of cross-selling customers across cable, Internet, and voice services. Comcast's "Triple Play" and costs approximately $99 per month. Consumers benefit because they have one consolidated monthly bill, and one company to deal with if there are problems. However, this strategy also increases the amount of competitors that Comcast must face, including Verizon Communications (VZ) and AT&T (T). Furthermore, Comcast is feeling similar pressure as its phone service counterparts, as a secular shift towards mobile phones reduces the amount of households that use a traditional phone line.
Cable providers all over the U.S. are requiring their subscribers to shift to new digital systems. RCN has reached 100% digital penetration in New York, Philadelphia, Washington DC, and Chicago.[9] Comcast subscribers, primarily in the Washington D.C. area, have been forced into this transition as well. The benefits for Comcast are obvious: it can offer more channels with a digital platform. Many customers, however, are upset about losing the lower priced analog option. [10]
Congress is considering legislation that would allow broadband Internet providers--like Comcast--to charge for preferred delivery of digital content. "Net neutrality" advocates are lobbying Congress to treat all web content the same, as is the current standard. Comcast and other Internet providers claim they should be able to sell premium service to larger users of their networks, since they are investing heavily to build and maintain such networks. If legislation is passed to prevent Comcast from charging premium prices for differentiated delivery, it would limit Comcast's future revenue growth.
Comcast's focus on bundling widens the scope of competition beyond cable companies to Internet service providers and voice companies. Comcast's main competition in cable TV is from both traditional cable television providers like Time Warner (TWX) and satellite providers such as DirecTV (DTV) and Dish Network (DISH). In previous years, Comcast has lost customers to the satellite providers, who have aggressively pursued new customers. With the Triple Play package, the company now competes on many fronts with companies like AT&T (T) and Verizon Communications (VZ).

A successful season continued to get better for the Crowder baseball team on Friday as two Roughriders signed to continue their careers elsewhere next season.
A successful season continued to get better for the Crowder baseball team on Friday as two Roughriders signed to continue their careers elsewhere next season.
Sophomore catcher/outfielder Sam May was the first to put pen to paper as the 6'2, 230 pound sophomore from Kingwood, Tex., announced he'll be attending Southern University in Baton Rouge, Miss.
While May will be moving closer to home, teammate Chris Caudle announced he'll be even closer to home, about a two hour drive, he says, while attending the University of Central Arkansas in Conway, Ark.
A 6'4, 200 pound righty from Greenwood, Ark., Caudle admits the University of Central Arkansas (UCA) is in his blood. His mother attended UCA to play basketball and his father played baseball for the Bears. His brother also attended the school, but didn't play a sport, he said.
After pondering an offer from Nicholls State, Caudle said the offer from UCA was too good to pass up. The Bears, meanwhile, will welcome him with open arms. Caudle has shaped himself into the anchor of the Roughrider pitching staff this season as he's currently 9-0 overall with a 1.81 ERA. He's allowed 15 runs (12 earned) on 51 hits in 59 2/3 innings with 41 strikeouts and 10 walks.
It's not hard to see what the Bears are seeing on the mound.
"Chris has been pretty much our number one for two years really when you look back," Crowder coach Travis Lallemand said. "When you needed a win, he's a guy you put on the mound to get a win. It's nice for him to get the opportunity at Central Arkansas. I think that's a place around home that's a comfort zone for him, and I think he'll do really well there."
May, meanwhile, is hitting .269 while splitting time behind the plate and in the outfield this season. He leads the team with four homers and has two doubles and 30 RBIs.
"It's a nice step, obviously," May said. "I'm real excited. I've been working hard for it. I went there for a workout and it was the family feel, kind of like I had here (at Crowder). Coming here out of high school not knowing really what to expect — I knew it was a great program, but they prepared us really well in the fall and instilled in us the never give up, never quit philosophy and that's a big reason why we're having the kind of year we're having now.
"I'm just looking forward to seeing how the rest of this year goes and then getting down to Southern and helping them out."
Lallemand said both players played a vital role in the Rougriders' success the past two seasons.
"With Sam, last weekend he had six RBIs in a game, he's a streaky hitter, but when he gets going he can put up runs in a hurry," Lallemand said. "We made the comment the other day that last year, at times, he carried us offensively. He's starting to do the same thing again this year.
"I'm happy for those guys getting scholarships, but also happy for the location for where they got them — in the area of family that can see them play their last two years."

Former Bayern Munich defender Breno is set to remain in prison following the decision by the German Federal Court to reject proposals for his sentence to be revised.
The 23-year-old was sentened to three years and nine months in a German prison after setting fire to his Munich home in October 2011 while intoxicated.
On Monday, reports emanating from Germany suggested Breno's lawyer had claimed his client was under the influence of potentially dangerous medication which could have caused the events which lead to his imprisonment.
The lawyer also claimed this information was not taken into consideration by the court prior to rejecting his appeal for a revised sentence, leading him to believe it constituted a formal error which would trigger an automatic revision of the sentence.
However, the court refused the assertion that a formal error had been made and will stand by the decision not to revise the defender's sentencing.
The controversy has thrown Breno's future career into doubt - in December, the defender signed a two-and-a-half year deal with Brazil side Sao Paulo.
The club released a statement and stressed that they would give the player "security, stability and, most of all, a perspective".

Before last week, my best was 18 miles. On Thursday, tooling around our vacation area, I did 19.6. For my wife that's just a warmup, as she usually does 50.
The next day she convinced me to ride from Traverse City to Sutton's Bay and back. 39.6 miles by google, 34 by Strava, and 32.8 by Cateye. In lots of pain the last 5 miles.
The next day she gets me out for another 20+ ride around town.
I think she just wants my life insurance when the heart attack comes. Take a 340 pound 53 year old man out and cycle him to death.
Elrique how much of your 42 mile trip did you pedal; how much you didn't? just curious. Thank you!

No electrics for me. I pedal every foot of every mile. Wouldn't have it any other way.
I do not know how the "electric' part of an e-trike works. I did the math for your ride time and distance, Elrique, 42.4 miles in 3.75 hours is 11.3 miles per hour, that (to me only) is a very fast clip!! On the flats and no tail wind I couldn't keep that speed up, To ME only (I am slow), 11 mph is quick, you must be in great shape and have triked for a long time! IF you really pedaled that whole distance un-assisted, as you said; but you then said ur batteries were drained some? Sorry I guess I don't understand how that works? NOT criticizing just want to understand how it works, please?

A Woman Named Amelia Earhart
By: Erika V.
New Hampshire, Age 10
Today, a woman named Amelia Earhart, took flying lessons in Los Angeles and is now the first woman to fly a plane. When Amelia was a little girl she thought that planes were boring and were just wire, medal and wood and now she is the first woman to fly a plane! Amelia isnt just the first woman to fly a plane, she also is the first woman to fly across the Atlantic Ocean. Amelia wanted to fly a plane because when she was ten years old, she went to an air show and wanted to be the first woman to fly. Amelia took additional training so she could get really good before she did it on her own. While this was happening, twenty four year old Harry Burns surprised observers by casting the decision for ratification of the right for woman to vote. At the time of his vote Harry had in his pocket a letter from his mother urging him to vote for suffrage. Due to the determination of both Earhart and Burns, women are closer than ever to be treated as equals to men.

Speeches & Statement
House Budget Committee Hearing: State of the Highway Trust Fund: Long-Term Solutions for Solvency
Chairman Paul Ryan: Opening Remarks, As Prepared for Delivery
"Welcome, everybody. I want to thank our witnesses for agreeing to testify. We appreciate your taking the time to share your expertise.
"Infrastructure is an important part of our economy. Government plays a role in our public infrastructure—our highways, our roads, our bridges. But the federal government is neglecting this responsibility. It's spending record levels of taxpayer dollars. And it's not spending them wisely. In fact, it recently abandoned a key principle: that we limit highway spending to what people pay to drive on them.
"The Highway Trust Fund is broke. This problem has been building for years. In the 90s, Congress set a floor on spending. But it didn't set a ceiling. So the gap between spending and revenue continued to grow—on average, by $1 billion a year over the last decade—while gas-tax receipts stalled. In the next decade, the CBO anticipates the gap to widen. It expects the Highway Trust Fund to run annual cash deficits of $13 to $14 billion.
"Under current law, the trust fund can't incur a negative balance. So if funds get too low, spending will automatically decrease, and the Department of Transportation will ration money to states. If we continue what we've done until last year, we'll bail the highway fund out with borrowed money.
"And it wouldn't be the first time. We've bailed out the trust fund multiple times over the years—to the tune of $41 billion since 2008—in addition to $27.5 billion in the stimulus. Though it included some needed reforms, the most recent surface-transportation reauthorization bill, MAP-21, included $19 billion in general-fund transfers. Now, to its credit, for the first time, the cost of the general-fund transfers were offset in MAP-21. Despite these large infusions, however, CBO estimates the trust fund will go bankrupt sometime in fiscal year 2015 under current law.
"I want to thank Mr. Blumenauer for requesting this hearing. On our side of the aisle, we have three members of the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee. I hope we can learn more today about the financial problems the highway trust fund faces and solutions to ensure this program's solvency.
"Unfortunately, I have a mark-up at the Ways and Means Committee, so I'm going to turn the gavel over to Congressman Garrett for the remainder of the hearing. I know I speak for the entire Committee when I say we look forward to your insights on how to solve this problem. I ask unanimous consent that all members have seven days to submit statements for the record. Thank you very much for coming, and we look forward to your suggestions.
"With that, I yield to the ranking member, Mr. Van Hollen."

Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie made his annual state of the team address Thursday afternoon, prior to the team's exhibition finale against the New York Jets, and said that another 8-8 season would not be enough to save 14-year head coach Andy Reid.
"No, it would not," Lurie said.
Asked later about a spate of injuries or something like that, Lurie later said, "I'm not going to make blanket statements...I guess if two-thirds of the team is not playing, there's always exceptions."
But, he added -- several times -- that a repeat of the team's 8-8 finish from 2011 would not be acceptable.
Lurie said that he would not even be considering a contract extension -- Reid's current deal expires after the 2013 season -- until after the season is over. "I live to evaluate everything," he said. "...I reflect and analyze afterward."
The owner was asked about how the team's personal feelings for Reid -- especially given the recent death of his son, Garrett -- might complicate that post-season evaluation. Lurie replied that it would not.
"He will always have our sympathy and support," Lurie said. "But this is a business. You're there to win and win big. You have to separate the two."
Lurie reiterated that the breakup of his marriage would result in no changes for the franchise and that Christina Weiss Lurie would remain one of the team's limited partners. He said that the organizational structure leaves him with 100 percent of the key decision-making power, including the decision on Reid's future.
In 2012, Lurie said he expects a "substantially improved team," and that the franchise's failure to win a Super Bowl under his ownership remains a gaping hole in his resume.
"It's a big emptiness because I feel like we've accomplished everything else," he said. "...It's almost all I think about...It's kind of the one remaining goal. I think we've got the means to do it. Hopefully, we can make it happen."
Lurie said that there are always caveats in the NFL -- that he believed Green Bay was the best team in the league last year but the Packers didn't win a playoff game. He did not say the Eagles were as good as the Packers, but he does believe they are in the Super Bowl hunt.
"I do think this team has all the ingredients to get there," he said.

The history of C.W. Worth House, a North Carolina bed and breakfast, began with Charles W. Worth who was a wholesale grocery merchant, as well as a commission merchant in cotton and naval stores at the turn of the 20th century. These areas of commerce were the mainstays of the Wilmington economy before and shortly after the War Between the States. He diversified the family business after Reconstruction by acquiring the Cape Fear Machine Works.
His father, David Gaston Worth, was the only son of North Carolina Governor Jonathan Worth of Asheboro. Among notable Worth ancestors, the family tree includes Daniel Webster and Benjamin Franklin.
Charles W. Worth purchased the property at 412 South 3rd Street in 1889. He had an existing home on the property moved and began construction of the Queen Anne-style home. It was completed in 1893, and the Worth family resided in the home until 1944. The C.W. Worth House became a bed and breakfast in 1985 and remains the longest operating bed and breakfast in historic Wilmington.
According to research done by a local historian, the C.W. Worth House architecturally, is a unique example in the region of the combined influences of French sixteenth century chateau and nineteenth century English Queen Anne styles. C.W. Worth, also known locally as the wedding cake house or a Queen Anne confectionery is just one of the sights you may see while touring Wilmington by Trolley, carriage or on foot.

Groton: Democrats take control of Town Council
Groton — Democrats won a majority on the Town Council for the first time in 30 years on Tuesday, ousting two Republican incumbents, according to unofficial results.
"I'm absolutely stunned," said Genevieve Cerf, a Democratic member of Representative Town Meeting who won a council seat. "I feel like I've seen the town in a completely different light after going door to door, and I'm incredibly grateful to everyone who voted for me."
Democratic challengers Bob Frink, Rich Moravsik and Joe de la Cruz also won seats on the nine-member board. Democratic incumbent Rita M. Schmidt was re-elected, along with Republican incumbents Heather Bond Somers, Harry A. Watson, Deborah L. Peruzzotti and Bruce S. Flax.
Somers was the top-vote getter with 2,987 votes, followed by Watson with 2,963 votes and Schmidt with 2,944 votes.
Republican incumbents Dean G. Antipas and Karen F. Morton were unseated.
"We want to see the Democrats take Groton," said Moravsik, who will have to resign as public works director for Groton Long Point.
In the Board of Education race, challengers unseated two incumbents.
Democratic newcomer Mary Kelly was top vote-getter with 2,661 votes and Republican newcomer Andrea Ackerman took the second seat on the board with 2,545 votes, according to unofficial totals.
Democratic incumbent Kirsten Hoyt held onto her seat and Democratic challenger Joey Schick won the fourth seat.
Republican incumbent Robert Peruzzotti and petitioning candidate and incumbent Chaz Zezulka were unseated. Republican John Scott IV was not elected.
Voters interviewed earlier in the day said they wanted a bit of change. Sanjay Vachhani, 47, a business owner, said the council needed some changes and the town needed more activities for children.
"A lot of times, some change brings better things to the community," he said.

I wonder where the French came up with the word 'palaurde' for clam - it doesn't sound right does it? Who would wanna say, "Happy as a palourde?"
Enfin shell pink twirly shells or macaron coques. No way am I attempting these!
Enfin shell pink twirly shells or macaron coques. No way am I attempting these!
Are you going to paint the mac in the clam shell? "Happy as a paloudre..."
or "heureux comme une palourde," anyway.
I think I've become half-coqued with these damn $#@!shells Sue!
The term half-cock is as old as flintlock guns and appears in print from the mid 18th century. For example, in John Desaguliers' A course of experimental philosophy 1734–44:
"The gun being at Half-Cock, the Spring acts upon the Tumbler with more Advantage."

Have you ever been to Arthur Avenue in the Bronx? It's a funny little Italian neighbourhood. There is the MOST amazing fish-mongers there.
I've never been to a fish place that smelled like the ocean. And their selection was incredible. We brought up coolers with us from Baltimore and filled them with cheeses and sausages.
Hello Carolg,
Delicious post! Never have I eaten a Plateaux in Paris, but did have my fair share of chargrilled oysters in New Orleans recently, does that count?
I'll be on the lookout for a sea monger for you. Keep having a terrific time painting Paris Dreams~~~
Carol maybe you don't want to bake the pink swirl macaron, but you could do a perfect painting of one
You always make me so hungry when I come here. :)) I really like that first photo.ReplyDelete
La Perle Rare:)
I am in danger of abandoning the mac for coquilles on the half shell. What an amazing find!!!
No. wait, when presented with 2 undesirable alernatives, choose the 3rd. So, faced with 2 desirable alternatives, take them both!
Great photo!
Great concept!
(Although, I would prefer an oyster ...
unless it was a licorice macaron!)
An oyster sitting inside a clam Uyek?
Were they seperated at birth?
Men are always 'washing down' stuff with lagers and endless bottles of wine...
Women only get to take out the wash :(
Have you been to Cancale, the oyster capital of Brittany? I was there for the first time on Sunday and it's a fun place to visit. You can get a dozen oysters at the market and they will shuck them and put them on a plate so that you can eat them while sitting on the seawall. There's even a restaurant offering glasses of takeout wine to enhance the experience - it was my first time to see that!ReplyDelete
I ate fresly shucked oysters in the open market at the Duke of York Saturday market in London last Fall....
Best thing I ever tasted :)

For fans, the offseason is generally a time of hope. New faces on rosters and in front offices signal change, hopefully for the better.
However, not everything is sunshine and roses for actual team decision-makers. The reality is that not everyone is going to make the final roster, and choosing the best 53 players is difficult. The process becomes even more difficult when players whom teams have heavily invested in aren't locks to be part of the squad's future.
We're here to examine one player from each team who has disappointed and is thus entering a make-or-break season, or even a make-or-break camp. We'll be focusing on players entering bust territory, those who aren't living up to sizable contracts, those who can't stay on the field and those who have seen their levels of play fall off the proverbial cliff.
Former Oklahoma quarterback Sam Bradford was taken with the first overall pick in the 2010 draft because he has prototypical size (6'4", 228 lbs), immense arm talent and a solid football IQ. The problem is that he cannot stay on the field.
This study is very misleading. The B12 found in these plants, is INORGANIC. It's a yet different form, and it is toxic to our body. Nothing to do with the bioavailable meat B12 form.
Sonia says
I have all the symptoms of b12 deficiency,I have been taking metformin for years and is known to cause b12 deficiency but every time because the levels are so low in this country I am told my bloods are normal and I know it wrong.I know how I feel and the symptoms,I am not paranoid,Drs wont listen,what can I do now to convince them,so many dont even realise their symptoms are a cause of this
In Japan apparently they lifted the minimum level in the reference range for B12 to around 500 pmol. You might want to consider taking matters into your own hands and treat yourself with the help of a physician.

According to Australia's reference range I'm within range, according to Japan I'm below. After treating myself with this product once or twice a day I have recovered so much cognitive function, memory, mood, assertiveness, confusion, anxiety, depression, concentration, busy (racing) mind, irritable, agitated, anger. It is just amazing this product. It has all the natural forms of vitamin B as some people cannot metabolise well or much at all the synthetic forms.
Let us know how you progress in a few weeks. I noticed immediate benefits after first day! And I'm improving more and more each day. Its like I am gaining 20 years in some aspects of mental functioning. A renewed me.
Ann Bailey says
Hi: I have been treating this issue "I believe" for many years. I had no idea I had a problem until recently. I would go to the Dr. barely able to move my body and complain I was beyond fatigued, or my hands were tingling or numb. I was soooo tired. I would have a blood test and it would show normal. THen the last one showed a B12 deficiency I had 97 instead of the not very effective 138 that is defined as the low. It bothers me greatly that I could have had help over the last 20 years if the blood test had requested a B12 level or if I had somehow known. My Mom died of cancer, but she also had a B12 deficiency. Is it genetic in my case. Should I be telling my kids to get tested. How does one know. I went to a naturopath and she also said that in most modern medicine the low acceptable is 500. That scared me even more. Have I done damage to myself over the years because I didnt know what I was dealing withÉ I just dont know what the average person should be doing. I think it should be checked better and more accurately. Ann

Last week for our step back in time, we visited the year 2001. This week, we're going to do one better and go back to the year 2000, the last year I had the pleasure of working with John Sterritt here in the sports department at the Times-News.
John was one of the good guys. The first time I met him was back in 1998, and I'm guessing he was pretty fresh out of college. I never asked him.
That was back in the day when we had light tables and actually had to "paste up" our printed pages. The paste-up person took the printed copy out of the printer, fed it through a wax machine and pasted it onto the page. After several revisions, the final page then went to our press guys in the back.
It was a hectic job, but John was always calm. During those first few months, he never spoke to me. He just did his job, with wax and cuts on his fingers, with no complaints. He was the fastest paste-up guy we had.
Then in 1999, our prep sports writer, Andre Gower, left, and John came over to my desk one night and finally spoke.
"You think I have a shot at Andre's job? I put in an application," he said.
I told him if it was up to me I'd have him start right at that moment. He was one of the hardest workers in the building. Ron Wagner did end up hiring John, and for two years, John worked with me in sports. We had a blast.
In his final year here in 2000, it was quite a year for area high school sports. It began in the fall with North Henderson's John Henderson and Hendersonville's Erika Schneble winning individual cross country state titles. That was followed by two volleyball state titles from county teams: Hendersonville, which won its fourth straight, and East Henderson, which won its second straight. East followed the volleyball title with the girls basketball state title.
And John loved every minute of it. Then later that year, I remember taking him home one night. For the first time, he wasn't joking with me and trying to make me laugh.
"I think I'm about to make a big change. I think I will go to law school and be a lawyer like my dad," he said.
"That's great, John," I said as we neared his home. "I'll really miss you, but I know you'll be successful. I've really, really enjoyed working with you."
John did become a lawyer, and I kept tabs with him through social media. That's how I found out the horrible news. Someone had posted on his Facebook wall "I'll miss you dear friend." I thought he was just moving out of town. As I read further down his page, I learned John died unexpectedly Thursday morning. I'm still in shock.
So for now, I want to hold on to his memory by taking this step back in time — a time when John was here, making us all laugh. It's what he did best.
A Step Back: 2000, John's final year at the Times-News
Last week for our step back in time, we visited the year 2001. This week, we're going to do one better and go back to the year 2000, the last year I had the pleasure of working with John Sterritt here in the sports department at the Times-News.

SAN JOSE, Calif. - UC Santa Barbara's baseball team split a doubleheader with San Jose State on Saturday, winning the first game, 7-0 and dropping the nightcap when SJSU scored in the bottom of the ninth, 6-5. The games were part of a Saturday doubleheader due to heavy rain in the Bay Area, which washed out a scheduled Friday start of the three-game series.
UCSB is now 2-1 while San Jose State is 2-2.
In the first game, Mario Hollands had zero problem with the time change.
The left-hander allowed just two hits over eight shutout innings, striking out four in the 7-0 victory. Hollands (1-0) threw 105 pitches and faced just three batters over the minimum.
The 2008 All-American did not start the ninth inning, instead giving way to Matthew Brady, who pitched a scoreless frame.
Matt Valaika and Trevor Whyte each homered in the game, in fact, in the same inning, which gave the Gauchos a 3-0 lead. UCSB added to it with two runs in the seventh inning on Shane Arslan's two-run double. Santa Barbara added single runs in both the eighth and ninth innings.
Ryan Tregoning's single scored Mark Haddow in the eighth and Sean Williams' triple scored Ryan Palermo, who singled.
In the second game, Nick Loredo had a solid start in his Gaucho debut, pitching in his hometown. The San Jose native, who transferred to UCSB from San Jose CC, pitched 6.1 innings, allowing four runs on five hits while striking out three.
Arslan hit a pair of home runs, his first career collegiate blasts, to help give UCSB a 4-0 lead in the fourth inning. Mark Haddow's third inning home run was his first of the year.
However, the Spartans began to break through. With a run in the fourth and two in the fifth, SJSU trailed UCSB, 4-3, before Palermo's bases-loaded walk scored Tregoning to give the Gauchos a 5-3 advantage.
Loredo left after recording an out in the seventh, giving way to David Meals (0-1) and the Spartans scored two runs on Corey Valine's single, tying the game.
Both sides went down in order in the eighth and the Gauchos went down 1-2-3 in the ninth before Karson Klauer's one-out single in the ninth scored Craig Hertler, who opened the inning with a base hit.
The Gauchos and Spartans finish their three-game series on Sunday at 1 p.m. UCSB does not return home until a four-game weekend series beginning Mar. 12 vs. Northern Illinois.
To purchase tickets, please call (805) 893-UCSB, visit the Ticket Office located inside the Intercollegiate Athletics building on campus or click here.
UCSB Athletics is proud to introduce GKids - its new official kids club! GKids members will receive a free GKids t-shirt, free admittance to tons of Gaucho games, opportunities to be ball boys and girls at games, a special birthday greeting from Olie (the new GKids mascot) and much, much more!

I enjoyed reading this book, especially when the Animorphs went into the future because it was surprising and scary. I think Rachel was the most interesting character because she was complex and takes lots of thought to find things out. I felt glued while I read this book. It was like could not put it down no matter how hard I tried.
I recommend this book to people who like exciting adventures of kids just like you. You should also read this book because it is part of a long series. This book is a mixture of love, danger, heroics, and excitement. It's good for all ages. Read all the Animorphs books now. The Yeerks are among us!

South Africa captain AB de Villiers hopes his side's experience of playing in rain-reduced matches in England will prove useful during the upcoming World Twenty20 in Sri Lanka.
The Proteas ended a largely successful tour of England with a 28-run defeat by the reigning World Twenty20 champions in a floodlit fixture at Edgbaston on Wednesday where rain shortened the match to 11 overs per side.
That meant the three-match series was shared at 1-1, with only the Proteas' seven-wicket win at Chester-le-Street on Saturday, where the teams bowled 39 of a possible 40 overs, going close to the distance.
Set 119 to win on Wednesday, South Africa could only manage 90 for five as a tour which featured a commanding 2-0 Test series win over England and a shared one-day campaign finished on a losing note.
"It certainly wasn't our best performance...We were pretty much outplayed tonight," said de Villiers after a defeat that saw England replace South Africa at number one in the international Twenty20 rankings .
"It was disappointing but there are a lot of positives to hang onto throughout this summer. We've played some good cricket and it's not all doom and gloom going to Sri Lanka."
In Manchester on Monday, South Africa made 77 for five in nine overs in another rain-marred clash before a fresh downpour during England's reply led to a wash-out with the game five balls short of the five-over mark in the second innings needed to declare a result.
De Villiers, asked what South Africa learnt from the brief encounters, replied: "Quite a lot actually. At this level you have to adapt no matter what situation you find yourself in.
"I hear there is quite a bit of rain around in Sri Lanka at the moment and we might get a few rain delayed games and it might cost you the World Cup (World Twenty20) if you are not prepared for it.
"We have played a couple now, one good, one not so good. We've had a taste for it and will be better prepared now."
He added: "It will probably be quite a lot different in Sri Lanka, but we can probably expect something a bit like tonight's (Wednesday's) pitch.
"There was a quite a bit of turn and it was slowish, we could get quite a few like that in Sri Lanka."
Off-spinner Johan Botha, a key member of South Africa's attack, will head to Sri Lanka on the back of an impressive two wickets for 19 runs on Wednesday, having returned the same figures at Chester-le-Street.
"He's an experienced campaigner," said de Villiers. "He's in good form, and has been for a long time, so it's nice."
De Villiers added England, who won the 2010 World Twenty20 in the Caribbean, would be a threat in Sri Lanka but did not discount South Africa's chances.
"For sure, their bowling line-up has been one of the best in the world for quite a few years now, " de Villiers said.
"I thought they did really well in the Caribbean, it was probably down to the bowlers that they won there.
"They certainly have a lot of talent, but so do a lot of other teams. I would like to think it will be a great battle and the top four get through to the end. May the best team win."
De Villiers glad of brief England encounters
South Africa captain AB de Villiers hopes his side's experience of playing in rain-reduced matches in England will prove useful during the upcoming World Twenty20 in Sri Lanka.

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. — Veteran South Carolina players had seen it so many times before, a magnified postseason mistake that opened a bumpy path to victory.
So it probably hasn't settled in yet, the sight of North Carolina celebrating at Boshamer Stadium immediately after a 5-4 victory Tuesday in Game 3 of the Chapel Hill Super Regional.
No. 1 NCAA tournament seed or not, the Tar Heels should have folded after The Drop.
The script was copyrighted in June of 2010 during the first of South Carolina's three straight trips to the College World Series. It called for the Gamecocks to make fresh Omaha plans.
"We definitely got a little excited down there in the bullpen thinking maybe that's the break we needed," South Carolina senior pitcher Tyler Webb said.
Webb had a great viewing angle in the fifth inning as Tar Heels center fielder Chaz Frank failed to catch a catchable fly ball off the bat of Joey Pankake. It should have ended the Gamecocks' half of the inning, but the two-run gaffe gave South Carolina a 3-2 lead.
Of course.
Right on cue.
No more home-field edge. The crowd went silent except for the jubilant bunch behind the Gamecocks' dugout.
But these Tar Heels are not Oklahoma or Clemson, Virginia or Arkansas, UCLA or Florida.
They are a high-wire act billed as a baseball team, poised and unfazed no matter the adversity or presence of Cocky The Mascot.
One Carolina beat the other at its own game, winning 6-5 in Game 1 and by the thinnest of margins again in Game 3.
"At the same time, we know North Carolina is a great team and they're not going to go away quietly," Webb said of the Frank error. "We knew we still had our work cut out for us. We still had to play good baseball for those last four or five innings."
The feeling was the same in the dugout.
"Yeah, you get excited, but we've watched them on film," said senior pitcher Adam Westmoreland, who took over on the mound in the third inning. "You know they're never going to quit. You have to go out and compete."
The classic matchup deteriorated at times into a battle of miscues.
The Gamecocks pushed most of the right buttons during their national championship runs in 2010 and 2011 and in a return trip to Omaha in 2012.
But on Tuesday, Pankake (one sacrifice all season) failed to get a bunt down from the No. 3 spot in the batting order with two runners on base and no outs in a scoreless first inning.
Kyle Martin, a better defensive first baseman than designated hitter LB Dantzler, made a throwing error that allowed the tying run to score in the sixth.
Later in the inning, an intentional walk contributed to Webb inheriting a bases-loaded situation. The Gamecocks' closer walked Parks Jordan on a borderline 3-2 pitch to force home the winning run.
Patent pending for the 57-10 Tar Heels.
North Carolina beat Clemson in 14 innings and N.C. State in 18 innings during the ACC tournament and survived a 13-inning Chapel Hill Regional championship game against Florida Atlantic.
Third baseman Colin Moran, the Miami Marlins' first-round draft pick, approached Frank after the error.
"I just told him to relax, it's not a big deal, that we'll come back anyway," Moran said.
The Gamecocks sang such sustaining words the previous three Junes.
Amid moist eyes and consoling, they loaded the big garnet and black bus parked aside Boshamer Stadium.
Luck was the residue of Carolina design.
Now it's the other Carolina, bound for a College World Series opener against, of all teams, N.C. State.
"It's baseball," Chad Holbrook said at the last press conference of his first season as head coach. "We keep remembering we're coaching college kids, amateur kids who are trying so hard to do everything they can to help their team win."
Which is what makes three consecutive trips to the College World Series and more than a cumulative month spent in Omaha so special.
Oklahoma and Clemson, Virginia and Arkansas, UCLA and Florida … They were all trying hard, too.

Could you describe exactly what I would be doing? The trainings allow you to first experience the education program as a student - you get to learn interesting background information on all the topics, then you experience the hands on learning stations where we teach you how to interact with the students. When the school classes begin in November with the fish program, you will assist with the setting up of the room, listen to the background of the class, watch and listen to them answer questions during the overview. Then after the break you will run one of the 4 hands-on stations, interpreting the wildlife and or walking tours,and being part of the wrap up when we discuss the challenges and highlights we had with that day's class and suggest ways for improvement.Programs we teach include Birds, Fish, Marine Mammals, Bay Scientist, Intertidal and Dock life, and Sailing. Each individual is unique and we try to work with you so you are comfortable.
You can also assist on weekends during our monthly shoreline clean-ups, Bay Festival, Adventure playground and during Burrowing Owl season. You're guaranteed to have fun, and to learn and share lots of information.
What days and times do you need me? The trainings are Thursdays and Fridays 9-12 The school groups and summer Marine biology classes come midweek (Wed- Friday) from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00p.m. You do not need to sign up for every school class program but you need to come to the docent trainings and at least two classes. Fourteen hours a month of commitment- We need you for our special events- Bay Festival and Shoreline Clean-ups on weekends .
I really love the out of doors but have never taught children. Will this program help me learn to teach? Yes, when you begin the training in October we give you specific instructional techniques for the variety of ages we work with here. Throughout the course, we review before each class what works best with that age group. Naturalists teach the main class, you will help run a station, and work with small groups of children.I have just moved to the Bay area. Will your program teach me about the local ecosystem?Yes, you will learn about the dynamic ecosystem that is the San Francisco Bay Estuary; more specifically you will learn about its birds, fish, marine mammals, and the tide pool life found here at the marina. You will have the opportunity to see the Bay from a sail boat .
I just discovered this program and have missed some of the trainings. Do I have to wait until Oct 2018 to start?We train interested individuals throughout the year. You can come and watch us teach first and see if it is for you. We can give you background materials and train you as we go. Just ask! Any interested individuals are welcome to be part of our program.

Modeling Project Releng/Releasing/Update Site Generation/Troubleshooting
Some p2 repo points to missing jars!
So, you're building something based on a p2 repo (Eclipse 3.4+ update site w/ p2 metadata) and are getting errors about missing jars?
!MESSAGE Provisioning exception !STACK 1 org.eclipse.equinox.internal.provisional.p2.core.ProvisionException: Could not connect to http://download.eclipse.org/modeling/emf/updates/milestones/features/org.eclipse.emf.validation.sdk_1.2.1.v200807161729-579093L7YxTRK7HtUz0Hhaz-JlG9.jar at org.eclipse.equinox.internal.p2.updatesite.UpdateSite.parseFeature(UpdateSite.java:193)
For some reason, an old build has been removed from the combined update site, but the p2 metadata has not been refreshed. Or, the jar has been deleted but a reference to it remains in the category.xml files from which the site.xml is aggregated. In either case, you need to:
ssh build.eclipse.org
If you're unsure what you're about to do, back up the update site first before working on it.
cp -r /home/data/httpd/download.eclipse.org/modeling/emf/updates/milestones /home/data/httpd/download.eclipse.org/modeling/emf/updates/milestones_BAK
Next, to see how the command works:
cd /opt/public/modeling/releng-common/tools/scripts ./buildUpdateSiteCleanObsolete.sh
To check for missing jars:
./buildUpdateSiteCleanObsolete.sh /home/data/httpd/download.eclipse.org/modeling/emf/updates/milestones
To preview changes that will be done should missing jars be found:
./buildUpdateSiteCleanObsolete.sh -d -p /home/data/httpd/download.eclipse.org/modeling/emf/updates/milestones
To actually delete files, clean up site*.xml, and regenerate p2 metadata (each step will require confirmation):
./buildUpdateSiteCleanObsolete.sh -d -E /home/data/httpd/download.eclipse.org/modeling/emf/updates/milestones
If building locally on build.eclipse.org, changes should be more or less immediate. If building remotely (eg., accessing the metadata via http://download.eclipse.org or from a mirror), wait at least 30-60 mins for replication to complete.
Finally, and this is very important, make sure you fix permissions on the newly created/edited files and folders, eg:
cd /home/data/httpd/download.eclipse.org/modeling/emf/updates/milestones chgrp modeling.emf.website * ls -la
If you get permission denied errors, that's OK, as long as the files in the dir are all set to the correct group and are group-writeable (eg., -rw-rw-r-- or drwxrwxr-x)
I can't see my jars!
I just took a look at my promote log, and it seems everything went OK. However, I can't see my jars promoted to http://download.eclipse.org/releases/ganymede/staging/. What happened?
- Check the log -- yes, no obvious problems like "permission denied" or "failed" or "could not".
- Check the latest Ganymede build log, as we see errors ...
[java] ERROR [0035] : No suitable provider for component (...) was found in searchPath org.eclipse.emft-search-sc [java] ERROR [0035] : Rejecting provider site.feature(${downloads}/modeling/emft/updates/interim/site-ganymede.xml): No component match was found

- Check the interim site. Features are there, but they shouldn't have "HEAD" in their names.
org.eclipse.emf.search.sdk_0.7.0.HEAD.jar org.eclipse.uml2.diagram.clazz.search_0.7.0.HEAD.jar org.eclipse.uml2.search_0.7.0.HEAD.jar org.eclipse.emf.search.examples_0.7.0.v200805020316.jar org.eclipse.emf.ecoretools.diagram.search_0.7.0.HEAD.jar org.eclipse.emf.search_0.7.0.HEAD.jar
If you intend to build from HEAD and have already enabled forceContextQualifier in your buildAll.xml, it looks like the problem is that only ONE feature jar was added. Checking the site.xml, we see that in fact only the examples feature was added.
Why? Because your promoteToEclipse.*.properties file is not using the new signed Master zip as input to the site generation script.
How do I fix this?
- Back out the last site update (you can also use buildUpdateSiteRollback.sh):
ssh firstname.lastname@example.com " cd /var/www/html/modeling/emft/updates/interim; rm -fr emft-search-0.7-I_r0; mv emft-search-0.7-I_r1 emft-search-0.7-I_r0; mv emft-search-0.7-I_r2 emft-search-0.7-I_r1; ";

- Rerun the last site update:
ssh email@example.com " cd /home/www-data/build/modeling/scripts; ./promoteToEclipse.sh -sub search -Q -jarsonly -branch 0.7.0 -buildID I200805020316 -coordsite ganymede ";

Bennett Miller's "Foxcatcher" won't be finished in time for this year's AFI Fest 2013, but programmers at the festival have added the world premiere of "Out of the Furnace" to this fall's gathering.
The festival also will screen Ben Stiller's remake of "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty" and hold a tribute for Bruce Dern, who stars in Alexander Payne's "Nebraska."
"Out of the Furnace," directed by Scott Cooper ("Crazy Heart"), stars Christian Bale as a blue-collar worker trying to save his troubled war veteran brother (Casey Affleck), who has run afoul of a bad man played by Woody Harrelson.
Festival organizers previously announced that they would host screenings of director John Lee Hancock's "Saving Mr. Banks," its North American premiere opening the AFI Fest, and writer-director Joel and Ethan Coen's "Inside Llewyn Davis," which will be the closing-night presentation.
"Mitty" previously played at the New York Film Festival while "Nebraska" premiered at the Cannes Film Festival.
This year's festival is Nov. 7-14.

SEATTLE (AP) — The location of the three bodies was revealed by the melting snow, but getting to them was another matter. They were high on a glacier at one of the most treacherous spots on Mount Rainier, an area pummeled by falling ice and rocks.
So rangers borrowed a tool from their colleagues at Denali National Park in Alaska — a mechanical claw that's so highly specialized it hasn't been used in years.
A helicopter equipped with the device plucked the bodies of the three climbers off Mount Rainier on Tuesday, in the same area where a party of six vanished last May.
"We've talked about using it before, but never really had a need for it," said Doug Uttecht, the chief pilot at Olympia-based NorthWest Helicopters, who flew the recovery mission. "In this case, we needed to keep people out of that area. That's the reason the bodies hadn't been recovered: They're right in the middle of the falling rock and ice that's coming off that cliff."
The Pierce County Medical Examiner's Office said Thursday that it's still working to identify the bodies, but the National Park Service believes they were members of the same party that went missing.
A crew on a training flight spotted the bodies in avalanche debris field Aug. 7, but the area, at the 9,500-foot level on the Carbon Glacier, was considered risky for a typical recovery operation. Warm weather has led to more ice and rock falls as well as the opening of new crevasses, making it one of the most hazardous spots on the 14,410-foot volcano, Mount Rainier National Park spokeswoman Patti Wold said.
NorthWest Helicopters had to wire up a special control box to use the mechanical grabber with the company's MD-530 helicopter, and Uttecht flew practice runs picking up small logs. The device was mounted at the end of 100-foot-long line, saving crews from having to lower a mountaineering ranger down to the glacier.
Park Service rangers with radios positioned themselves in safe areas nearby and prepared to warn Uttecht if a major slide came down. The most difficult part of the mission was positioning the claw perfectly over the bodies, he said.
Wold described the device as similar to "those games in the grocery store where you use the claw to grab the toys."
The six missing climbers, all experienced mountaineers, included two guides and four climbers. They went missing the last week of May on a technical, dangerous and little-used route up Liberty Ridge. Authorities believe they fell 3,300 feet.
Members of the group were Seattle-based Alpine Ascents International guides Matthew Hegeman and Eitan Green; Erik Britton Kolb, a 34-year-old finance manager at American Express, who had traveled from New York; Uday Marty, a vice president and managing director of Intel in Southeast Asia who was based in Singapore; Seattle mountain climber John Mullally; and Mark Mahaney, of St. Paul, Minnesota.
Last year, about 10,800 people attempted to climb Mount Rainier and only 129 used the Liberty Ridge route, according to park statistics.
There was no sign of the other climbers during Tuesday's operation.
Denali National Park commissioned a Eugene, Oregon, company called Heli-Tech to make the mechanical claw in 1995, according to a report in The Register-Guard newspaper the following year. It's similar to devices the company had made for logging, farming and other purposes, but with high-altitude adaptations. It's made of lighter-weight aluminum instead of steel and uses electric controls instead of gas-powered ones.
The device was used for the first time in 1996 to recover a climber who fell at the 16,000-foot level on Denali. It wasn't immediately clear how many times it's been used since. Denali mountaineering ranger Brandon Latham said Wednesday it hadn't been used in the seven years he's been stationed there. Nor was he aware of it ever having been loaned out.
Denali's helicopter manager, Joe Reichert, has been in Washington state helping to fight wildfires and helped arrange for the device to be shipped to Rainier, Latham said.

True Colors
Hulllloo. Happy November. November is great. Particularly this one. It's wonderful enough watching the weather change, the colors intensify through your window, the house feeling like a cozier place to be, and going outdoors feeling more like an adventure than a chore....but this November, two lovely happenings in the form of fabric are happening. The first is TRUE COLORS. People. This was so fun for me. Setting these parameters on my designing was a rewarding challenge and I love the results. I hope you do too!
Here's the schpeil from the website regarding the collection (all true, wrote it myself, so I know): I am thrilled to introduce you to my first collection of not-so-basic basics! True Colors is the latest collection program from Free Spirit designed by a select group that I am so proud to be part of. These prints and colorways are specifically designed to work beautifully along side all of my fabric collections. My twenty True Colors fabrics fill in any color gaps one might have in their stash to complete a full palette of inspiration. A gorgeous spectrum that is always good to have around no matter the style or the project!
And if you haven't noticed yet that you are floating amongst the most heavenly, chubby, sweet little cherub along with a divine assortment of colorful mini pants, I would like to point out the fabulous little knickers that are my latest free pattern for you. Cause I wanted knickers and so did the baby. She said so.
Visit my MAKE page to download the knick-knack Knickers sewing pattern by me. Knick-knack Paddywhack was my mom's favorite song to rock little ones too. So I sing it, and sew these (just twenty of 'em) in her honor of her silly, fun "Nani" self.
True Colors is loaded into our shop, as well as favorite shops all over the globe, so have fun! I'll get a Flickr group for it going soon and I can't wait to see all the sewing going down!
I'll be back tomorrow to scoop on Dowry after I can figure out a way to talk about it without crying sentimental tears. ;-P (fabric is happy, fabiric is happy, fabric is happy.)
xo, hugs, AM

I love this collection -- and the free bloomers pattern. I have a first grand-nephew on the way, and can't wait to whip him up a wardrobe. I saw Dowry and know that some of those prints are very personal and historic for you; I'm sure it is bittersweet releasing this collection. But it is lovely.ReplyDelete
you know how i feel about this, right? i'm in love. with these prints, with dowry, with that baby. it's all sooooo good. xo.ReplyDelete

Just placed my AMH True Colors fat quarter pack order with Hawthorne Threads yesterday. WOOT! That's when I noticed the same title on other designers' lines, so I wondered what was up. Didn't know it was a Free Spirit program. Cool. Most of your fabrics make up my stash, so I ordered yours. (How could I not??) And... please... permit yourself to cry... as often as needed... while writing that post. Crying is not a bad thing. It's a bittersweet and beautiful thing, much like the collection (which, yes, is already in my stash :-) . Dowry is right up there with Drawing Room (even Sketchbook Ivory) in my book. Sigh. Must go pet Lineage in Taffy now.ReplyDelete
She is so delicious! I love seeing that happy chunky girl among your beautiful art. Thank you for sharing both with the world. Well done!ReplyDelete
Oh! These are awesome!!! Bravo!!ReplyDelete
How difficult would it be to modify the knickers pattern for a size 2T? I would love to make some but my babe is too big!ReplyDeleteReplies
I bet the 18 mos would not be far off from fitting at all.....they are quite roomy in my opinion :)Delete
Oh, AM...these knickers are to DIE for...thank you so much for the FREE pattern! I have made a number of pair of your Quick Change Trousers from your Handmade Beginnings book, so I can attest to the clarity and completeness of your pattern instructions! I cannot wait to make the knickers, and with two grand babies due in April, I will have TWO wonderful excuses to do so!! Thank you so much! P.S Baby Mary Anna is gorgeous...!ReplyDeleteReplies
thank you Corinne :) enjoy xoAMDelete
This is so clearly a triumph of a collection. I'm super, super eager to see some in person! I love your colors sense, so I know these will indeed be basics for me!ReplyDelete

UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN River Falls
According to the Association of American Law Schools, preparation for entry into law school calls for
The skill most basic to success both as an undergraduate student and as a law school student is the ability to competently use the English language in both written and oral form. In addition students need to be concerned with developing the capacity to think logically and to critically evaluate the knowledge gained through their courses of study.
Admission to Law School does not call for a particular major field or specific list of courses beyond those required by the University for the undergraduate degree. Consequently, there is no pre-law major at UW-River Falls. Students planning on a legal career should think of their undergraduate studies as preparation toward a goal rather than a prescribed set of courses.
The pre-law advisor's office (Political Science Department) is available to all students on the UW-River Falls campus who have questions regarding law school. The adviser works closely with those who do choose to apply to law school, to make sure that all the necessary materials are readily available to them and that they understand the application process.
