After the attack on the Government building, the killed embedded agent was found to be a member of a neighboring country’s special intelligence division, and although these two nations used share a strong alliance, they were now at odds, as the neighboring country was proven to be supporting the current uprising within the nation, presumably to help facilitate a puppet government to take power in order to strengthen their grip on the east. Because of this political tension, the two nations were preparing for war. shutting their borders and mobilizing artillery units- whose sights were aimed at the one country that they considered an ally. Things were different now, and getting worse.
listing Borders rugby fixtures for 1924-25 and 1925-26
Published by the Edinburgh Evening News, these booklets list the rugby internationals for the years concerned as well as the fixtures of all the main Borders teams. The first picture is the cover of the book for 1925-26, which shows the teams listed inside.
The second picture is the centre pages from the 1924-25 book, showing photographs of some of the players imposed on drawn caricature bodies, being encouraged in the game by the crowd shouting advice such as, 'Never mind the ba'! Get on wi' the game.'
The books also list the Border League Champions over the years - in both books, Hawick are the reigning champions. Some suggest that rugby began in the Borders, its rules later being adopted by Rugby School. Certainly the popularity and spirit of the Borders game seems to be descended from their traditional 'Ba' Games', which involved the spectators almost as much as the players.
Mist struggling to get out - the rock has steep undercut sides - Elk actually found an 'easier' place round the back
ITV Border's Sandy McCracken arrived at the cottage with cameraman Paul yesterday to film a short piece for the ITV programme "Border Life". The sun shone brightly and the Cruck Cottage looked fantastic following the recent repairs carried out to the thatched roof and having been freshly lime washed by our army of community volunteers.
Once again local residents came along to help us make this another "special" occasion, becoming the audience for the day. Interviews were given by Michael, Willie and Bill Lawson providing an insight into the Cruck Cottages past, present and future - they were excellent.
Our thanks to all those who once again gave their time to help us - it is, as always, greatly appreciated!
Right near the border (basically runs along it), between New York and Quebec; Akwesasne Mohawk Territory.
I hadn't done these in a reeeeaaallly long time so I had to refresh my memory by looking at the instructions in some books (which weren't quite the way I was taught) and then digging out my notes from a machine sampler class I took...sometime before 2003 (i.e., I still lived in NYC then). I'm so psyched they turned out so well! Now hopefully the next time I do them won't be so far off and I'll remember how!
Yes, you may recognize the border fabric as the same green from the Scrappy Baby quilt I made my cousin Felix. who did, btw, dig it out of his box of toys the other day and lay his stuffed kitty down on it for her nap. Completely unprompted! :)
Okay, so do you think I can get away with this? I'm not sure if these are actually the border fabrics I'll use but does it look okay to have a fabric border in between the houses as corner stones?
Or, should I follow the pattern (you can see it in my photo stream) and make five houses on each side with a cornerstone star on each end?
Thoughts? Opinions?

Crossing from Albania to Montenegro is rather unpredictable, and can take 45 minutes to one-and-a-half hours. Both countries were at this time official candidates to join EU.
I did not see any person directing traffic. There appeared to be two lines heading to the border agents. However, the left lane behind the blue Audi actually was a lane for cars coming from the left side and travelling in the opposite direction. Later on, a car from the left lane was able to negotiate across the right lane and went straight to the border agent along the empty space on the right side, ahead of everybody. I am sure there is a system in this madness, which I did not understand.
Aside from this, I have read that the Montenegro-Albania border is closely watched. Entrepreneurial smugglers were offering Asian and North African migrants a new route into the European Union, running from Greece through Albania, Montenegro and Bosnia to Croatia, a member state of the European Union.
