This small quilt was completed on New Years Day 2005. The design gets its name from the combination of sets of initials used in the design.
The initials are those of my husband and myself. The design is intended to symbolise our happy and longlasting relationship. We have recently celebrated our 32nd wedding anniversary.

In you there is something
Something forgotten
Something true
You have beauty far beyond and more
Don’t you know?
Deep down, in the forgotten land
I beg you to return
A thousand years and more my friend
To find yourself again
For every second your light is out
A tear drops heavily to the ground
Deep down, in the forgotten land
I beg you to return
A thousand years and more my friend
To find yourself again

Here at S.O.TECH, It is our mission to provide the highest quality products available on the market today. We strive to stay ahead of the curve when it comes to our products and designs. Recently, we made a corporate decision to change the shade of our Coyote Brown nylon material. The old shade (with a hint of a green tone) will be phased out shortly. We feel this new shade (Cordura-Tan 499) is a step in the right direction and will meet the needs of our valued customers.
The great thing about this kaki shade is that it blends extremely well with most camouflage patterns. Making it one versatile shade!
Personally I think it's a great color! What do you think?

Lagerstroemia indica - Crape myrtles are known for their colorful and long-lasting flowers which occur in summer months. Most species have strong and vigorous fluted stems and branches with a mottled appearance that arises from having bark that sheds throughout the year. The leaves are opposite and simple, with entire margins. We saw this shrub in southern Virginia.

Kathmandu, August 8 - Tibetans in Nepal stepped up their protest on the opening of the Beijing Olympics. Thousands of angry Tibetans protested in Capital and tried to storm the Chinese Embassy consular office in Kathmandu.
Nepalese police confirmed they had arrested at least 1,100 Tibetans protesting near Chinese embassy buildings on Friday, hours ahead of the opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympics, according to reports from AFP
According to reports from IANS, more than 2,000 protesting Tibetans were arrested but fresh waves of young men and women took their place in front of the Chinese embassy here Friday as the refugees began an unprecedented protest against the 17th Olympic Games being held in Beijing.
The Tibetans - including nuns and monks - screamed, shouted and cried while marching towards the Chinese consulate in the city.
Police said the Tibetans, who arrived in busloads, and included nuns and monks, had begun a march towards the walled premises of the consular office.
BBC’s correspondent Charles Haviland in Kathmandu says “the protesters were herded like livestock, squashed and squeezed into open or enclosed trucks, several score in each.”
On Thursday, around 600 Tibetans were arrested in Kathmandu, several hours after 1,500 monks, nuns and supporters who had been praying and chanting mantras refused to disperse.
“I’ve been coming here nearly every day for the past three months and I will continue,” said demonstrator Tsering Friday before being dragged into a police van.
“We want that the Tibetans should stop protesting, taking into consideration the longlasting relations of friendship with China,” Nepali Home Ministry spokesman Modraj Dotel told Reuters.
China is an influential neighbor, donor and trade partner of impoverished Nepal which considers Tibet a part of China.
“Stop killing in Tibet,” some protesters shouted, with red and blue ribbons emblazoned with “Free Tibet” around their heads
Protesters were quickly overpowered by hundreds of riot police who hauled them into iron-meshed blue vans and open trucks and took them to detention centers.
Friday’s protests in Nepal followed one of the biggest pro-Tibet demonstrations in recent months on Thursday, which saw thousands of Tibetans take to the streets in Delhi and Nepal, protesting against the Olympics in China.
The protest in Nepal came as thousands of performers readied in Beijing for the start of the Games at 8 p.m. on the eighth day of the eighth month — the number appropriately symbolizing fortune — before an estimated global audience of one billion.
More than 20,000 Tibetans still live in Nepal, second-biggest home for them outside Tibet after neighboring India. They fled their homes after a failed uprising against the Chinese rule in 1959.
Although Kathmandu prohibits any anti-China activities by the refugees, the Tibetans have managed to regularly protest China’s crackdown in March in the Tibetan capital Lhasa and other parts.
New York-based Human Rights Watch said last month at least 8,350 Tibetans had been arrested in Nepal, which it said was pressured by China into cracking down on peaceful protesters. Beijing has denied the charges.
Eash one is just like a bicycle, fallen leaves with sunshine & darkness are just like all kinds of mess information, which brought us huge impact in our life, some are good , some are polluted , we need time & space to refresh ourselves from soul to mind and keep clean & simple everyday.

Virginia Valli (1895–1968)[ was an American stage and film actress whose motion picture career started in the silent film era and lasted until the beginning of the sound film era of the 1930s.
Valli, originally Virginia McSweeney, was born in Chicago, Illinois, and started acting in Milwaukee at a theater stock company. From 1916, she also acted in some 18 films at the Essanay Studios in Chicago, debuting in a minor part in the serial The Strange Case of Mary Page (1916), and quickly having all the female leads.. After that, she acted at the studios of World Film, Fort Lee, New Jersey. However, when features came along, Valli was reduced to supporting parts. By 1920, Valli had moved to California to act in films by Fox, Vitagraph and others. By that time she had already adopted the name of Virginia Valli. A major part she had in the Metro Pictures film The Man Who (Maxwell Karger, 1921) with Bert Lytell and Lucy Cotton, and scripted by June Mathis. On the film's success, Karger then directed Lytell and Valli in a string of fllms for Metro.
In 1922-24 Valli did several films for Universal. A major part Valli had in John Ford's The Village Blacksmith (1922), based on Wadsworth Longfellow, in the northwoods melodrama The Storm (Reginald Barker 1922) with House Peters, and in The Shock (Lambert Hillyer, 1923), in which Lon Chaney falls in love with the daughter of his victim, combined with the San Francisco earthquake. Other memorable titles were The Signal Tower (Clarence Brown, 1924), Wild Oranges (King Vidor, 1924), The Confidence Man (Victor Heerman, 1924), Up the Ladder (Edward Sloman, 1925), and the British film The Pleasure Garden (1925) by Alfred Hitchcock.
Location shooting for The Pleasure Garden was done in Italy and Germany. The film revolves around Patsy Brand (Valli), a woman who works as a dancer in a theater called "Pleasure Garden". She helps Jill (Carmelita Geraghty) to get a job in he theater. Via Jill's fiancee Hugh (John Stuart) she meets Levet (Miles Mander) and eventually marries him. They sail for Italy on a honeymoon. Levett and Hugh then go on a trip to one of the British colonies. Jill, meanwhile, has dropped Hugh for a rich prince who spoils her and she has become distant to Patsy. When Patsy receives notice that her husband is ill, she travels after him, but discovers he has an affair with a native woman. Patsy, instead, takes care of a really ill Hugh, which Levet doesn't like... The film was produced by Michael Balcon and Erich Pommer; it was Balcon who hired Valli as star of the film, being one of the first to do so. Also Carmelita Geraghty was American.
Valli continued appearing in films throughout the decade. She had no longlasting contracts with majors, so she played at all major and minor studios in the 1920s. In 1925 Valli acted in The Man Who Found Himself with Thomas Meighan. The production was carried out in the studio of Long Island, New York. Among her films were also the highlights Stage Madness (Victor Schertzinger, 1927) with Tullio Carminati, Paid To Love (Howard Hawks, 1927), with William Powell, and Evening Clothes (Luther Reed, 1927), with Adolphe Menjou. Her first sound movie was The Isle of Lost Ships in 1929, but her film career would not last much longer as her fame declined. After scarce adventures in sound cinema, she quitted acting in 1931.
Valli was married to George Lamson and, in second marriage in 1931, to the actor Charles Farrell, a marriage that lasted until her death. They moved to Palm Springs, where she had an intense social life for years. She suffered a stroke in 1966, and died two years later, at the age of 73, in Palm Springs, California. She was buried in Welwood Murray Cemetery in that city. Valli did not have children.

I have been eyeing these Carnations for a while and finally just HAD to have them... =D.
April 2009.
"In the country of Spain, the carnation is the featured bloom in many national festivals and religious celebrations...Long a favorite with European gardeners because of their rich fragrance and long-lasting beauty, carnations are also a traditional symbol of love and devotion."

Extract from "More Rough Travel Notes with an Architectural Eye - 2012":
In such construction, infill panels with a coating of lime plaster were followed with a coat of limewash providing protection. Unlike cement-based materials, lime produces soft textures, offers flexibility, and being porous allows such old walls to breathe and shed moisture. Lime kilns were once a common sight in villages and were used to burn limestone, chalks, or seashells to form quicklime which was then slaked with water. Colours were obtained from pigments, often oxides from natural earths.
The textures and colours of the vernacular architecture of buildings display longlasting vibrancy. Lavenham has an impressive number of Listed buildings — there are more than 300 — and we wander down Lady St, Shilling and Prentice Streets, Barn St, southern High St, Hall Rd, Church St and so on. An ongoing sequence of character, time and place becomes revealed.
Construction using local materials and knowledge produced architecture with a sense of Place; there was no good building-stone here, though there was some chalk and flint. No wonder the art of strong carpentry, as shown in the timber-framed dwellings of this region, flourished unchallenged. Clay is a geological feature of the region too. Clay ground nurtured the oaks which gave the medieval carpenter his raw material. In the later period it was also fired to make bricks and roof tiles. The organic forms of the materials are reflected in the building characteristics.
Close studding, strengthened with diagonal bracing, and oak-mullioned windows are typical of the type of timber construction. It was from the 13th C onwards that these carpentry skills developed, and houses were built this way on the proceeds of the wool trade. Weavers’ cottages were another widespread example of the rural landscape.
Thrusts of the framing were contained by crafted wood joints of various kinds. Close studding was often interrupted by the principal horizontal beam at first-floor level — the bressumer, which as in the Guildhall, was sometimes the only item with decorative carving. The general form of the interior of a house can often be read from the outside, while timber-framing might typically sit on a brick-plinth base. These days the wood’s often darker stained (probably Victorian), though in medieval times was more likely limed.

The theme of this weeks assignment for the group Active Assignment Weekly was the colour of beauty. I thought about colour, beauty and spring and came up with nailpolish right away. I did not want to polish my toenails yet: they are still in thick socks, so this is the outcome.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wedding_cake
A wedding cake is the traditional cake served to the guests at a wedding reception (or in parts of England, at a wedding breakfast) after a wedding. In modern Western culture, it is usually a large cake, multi-layered or tiered, and heavily decorated with icing, occasionally over a layer of marzipan or fondant, topped with a small statue representing the couple. Other common motifs include doves, gold rings and horseshoes, the latter symbolising good luck. Achieving a dense, strong cake that can support the decorations while remaining edible can be considered the epitome of the baker's art and skill. The average cost of a wedding cake in the U.S. in 2005 was $543.
Tradition generally requires that the first cut of the cake be performed by bride and groom together. An older, archaic tradition had the bride serve all portions to the groom's family as a symbolic transfer of her household labor from her family to the groom's family.
A portion may be stored, and eaten by the couple at their first wedding anniversary, or at the christening of their first child. Sometimes this portion is the top tier, and sometimes a portion of the piece from which the bride and groom fed each other, depending on the local customs. The portion of the cake may be frozen for this purpose; the top tier of the cake may sometimes consist of fruitcake, which could be stored for a great length of time.
Recently some Western weddings have started to use cupcakes or other individually sized dessert items in place of a larger tiered cake. These individual cakes are often arranged in tiers to represent the shape of the traditional tiered cake.
Wedding cake toppers are small models that sit on top of the cake, normally a representation of a bride and groom in formal wedding attire. This custom was dominant in US wedding in the 1950s where it represented togetherness.[2] Modern weddings have embraced more variety in design and significance. Wedding toppers today are often figures that indicate shared hobbies or other passions.[2]
Watson Family History
Thomas Watson (born 1798, died 1875) and Jane Collier (born 1807, died 1896) were raised in County Armagh, Ireland, and came to Canada in early 1843. Their son, from whom we are descended, was William Watson, who was sixteen when the family emigrated. William’s brother, Richard, and his sister, Rachel, were older.
The family first settled in Gananoque, and came later to Reading Corner, where they farmed on the fourteenth line, lot six. Richard Watson had a son named Nelson, who died young, and a daughter named Jane, who lived in the Okanogan Valley in British Columbia. Rachel married John Byrne of Hillsburg, who owned a carriage works. The Byrnes had sons: William and John, who remined bachelors.
William, married Sarah Jane Donaldson, a young widow (Mrs. J. Moody) with a daughter: Sarah Jane Moody, who married George Lindsay in 1886, having met him in Cookstown while visiting her father's family.
The Lindsays had one son, William Donaldson Lindsay., born August 11, 1886. They first lived in London, Ontario; then moved to Kendries, Idaho, and finally settled near Los Angeles, California.
My great grandfather, Thomas Watson, was next in this family.
He married Adeline East, and had two children, Hazel and Bill (my grandfather).
After Thomas came James Donaldson Watson (1872-1944). He married Belle McGee (1880-1958). They had two sons: James Ivan and Glen.
Next came Rachel (1874-1952). On March 6, 1895, she married John Scott at her home in Reading Garafraxa. They had four sons: Thomas Howard, Cecil, George and James
Next in the Watson Family was William George, (1880-1943). His wife was Mabel Patterson (1880). Their daughter was Sarlizabeth.
The youngest of the family was Letitia (1887-1931) In 1910, she married Russell Thurston. The children were: Donaldson, Donna, Robert Russell, Pauline, Roland, Bernice, Mel and Pat.
William Watson’s wife, Jane Collier Watson, was one of six sisters and one brother (Robert). Three of the Collier sisters were: Mrs. William Manley (Shelburne area), Mrs. Henderson and Mrs. Leeson. Two young Leeson boys were drowned one Christmas day when they broke through the ice while sliding and skating.
Explaining the lava rock walls.
The walls of lava rock are found in the Azores everywhere. Why? Not only because the whole Azores actually consist of lava rocks so they have plenty of them, but mainly to prevent erosion.
For a farmer, even when farming on a small scale, it's a disaster when fertile soil washes out to sea.
The walls also protect well against wind and seawater
It can rain hard and longlasting especially on the western islands. That explains also the very green and lushy vegetation.
This little farmer has therefore black lava rocks around his small piece of land, making sure his pumpkins will grow instead of ending up somewhere in the ocean.
Especially on Pico Island the pieces of land are sometimes so small that it's hard to imagine how a farmer can make a living from them. Watch later in my series about Pico.

Kathmandu, August 8 - Tibetans in Nepal stepped up their protest on the opening of the Beijing Olympics. Thousands of angry Tibetans protested in Capital and tried to storm the Chinese Embassy consular office in Kathmandu.
Nepalese police confirmed they had arrested at least 1,100 Tibetans protesting near Chinese embassy buildings on Friday, hours ahead of the opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympics, according to reports from AFP

Friday’s protests in Nepal followed one of the biggest pro-Tibet demonstrations in recent months on Thursday, which saw thousands of Tibetans take to the streets in Delhi and Nepal, protesting against the Olympics in China.
The protest in Nepal came as thousands of performers readied in Beijing for the start of the Games at 8 p.m. on the eighth day of the eighth month — the number appropriately symbolizing fortune — before an estimated global audience of one billion.
More than 20,000 Tibetans still live in Nepal, second-biggest home for them outside Tibet after neighboring India. They fled their homes after a failed uprising against the Chinese rule in 1959.
Although Kathmandu prohibits any anti-China activities by the refugees, the Tibetans have managed to regularly protest China’s crackdown in March in the Tibetan capital Lhasa and other parts.
New York-based Human Rights Watch said last month at least 8,350 Tibetans had been arrested in Nepal, which it said was pressured by China into cracking down on peaceful protesters. Beijing has denied the charges.

For those of you who have yet to experience in person the wonder and beauty of copihue, I'll tell you that this amazing vine produces the most remarkably elegant, massive, thick, waxy flowers ever thought possible.
Nhu and I adore this species and this cultivar in particular, acquired in thanks to the valiant efforts of the University of California Botanical Garden's propagation programme for cultivars of this species.
'Toqui' is considered the largest and most vigorous of the rare white forms of the species, and its name comes from the indigenous Mauche language meaning "chief".
We've had this fabulous vine for over four years, purchased at the fall plant sale in 2007. I can hardly describe my elation at the time of purchase. For three of those it was restricted to a one-gallon-size pot, however just over a year ago we re-potted it into a two-gallon pot and it has rewarded us with girthy new stems, huge leaves and flowers bigger than ever. The flower pictured here is over 11cm long. Unfortunately I was a bit late in photographing the flower as the margin of the sepaloid tepal shown here has a brown edge as a month-old flower. Better luck next time.
Lapageria is endemic to Valdivian temperate rain forests where temperatures remain cool and mild year-round, between 2-27°C (35-80°F). Coastal California, especially central and northern coastal locales, including the San Francisco Bay Area have the most conducive environments in the US in which to successfully cultivate this species.
