When people think of spring sports, they might think baseball or tennis; when they think summer, they might think swimming, and fall sports usually bring to mind soccer or football. There's a sport however commonly played from spring to fall that has been around for centuries and once again gaining popularity, especially here in Middle Tennessee. Polo, once named "Sport of Kings" has been around for something like 2,000 years and once originated in Persia. It was later revived when the British invaded the Middle East, and now remains a sport played internationally.
What is Polo
Like with a lot of games involving a ball, the mission is for the teams to work together to get the ball through the opposing team's goal posts. The difference is that players are on horseback in teams of 3-4, depending on whether inside or outside, hitting the ball with a bamboo mallet. The team with the highest score after 4-6 periods of play, called chukkers, win the game, and in the event of a tie, like most games, play goes into overtime.
For the safety of the players and their horses, there are two key rules that guide the game play.
Rules of the Game
Players must follow the "line of the ball" meaning they must approach it from the line the ball creates as it travels down the field. This line represents a right of way for the player that most recently stroked the ball. Opposing players may hook their opponent's mallet or "ride-off" their opponent in order to gain control of the ball.
Plays must also follow a set of rules that determines which players have "Right of Way." Essentially, it's the two or more players that are in proximity to the ball or in the line of the ball ahead. Unlike Line of the Ball, this is determined by who can safely enter or cross the right of way to avoid collisions.
Besides the above rules, there are some that guides how the team can play determined by the level and strength of the horse and the player combined. Depending on the combination, a team can be given handicaps to make the game fair for both teams and their players. Further, there are limits on how mallets can be used.
While the rules can be described with some accuracy, the best way, as with any spor, is to watch it for yourself. There's a handful of opportunities coming up. The most immediate event is the International polo cup between USA and Mexico. See below for details.

What do you do when you notice an assumption?
Part of the challenge is to notice what you usually do. An indicator of something that is "sticking out" that may eventually become some sort of problem is a signal. Usually when people notice this, it more often means they must "shore up" or "justify" the need for their conclusion or assumption, reinforcing the circle and reapplying their "remedies" that are really keeping the circular problem in place.
Because their focus is on the content as being more important, they cannot see the larger picture of how they are caught in a repeating pattern. They only experience that some part of the pattern is working in the ways they intend, when it is really an out-of-control pattern that MUST repeat whether the person wants it whenever the trigger is pressed for the habit to "go off." I would say that there are "endorphin squirts" that occur in pressing the trigger originally, but often the experience of the squirting may not register any more because it, too has become habitual.
If you take away the need, I believe our systems "self correct". You do not have to "do" anything but experience the lack of need, then just wait and watch yourself. What happens next will tell you quite a bit about everything you have been experiencing. If you just get the familiar justifications for your habits, just stop again and wait. Each time you stop, your senses will wake up a little more as you take the next layer of the habitual assumption off. It seems that people are naturally sensitive underneath layers of habits.
That's why stopping yourself when you would have normally started talking is such an effective technique in a David Bohm style Dialogue group – or in any conversation. Listening will tell you more than talking, for obvious reasons. You merely interrrupt yourself right when you found a need to say something and watch what happens in yourself. As you question your motive of wanting to talk, there will be usually be feelings and needs underneath the assumptions that could be a surprise to you.
So if you don't know what these feelings are or they don't surface because they are the submerged part of the iceberg, you can find out what they are by stopping yourself from going into the habit repeatedly. My experience has told me that there is often more than one need/motive/justification. Sometimes these are tricky to uncover, because the remedy of the assumption is trying to cover it up by answering the need. So this is where your own persistence comes in. You put yourself in a situation where this issue comes up again and again, without getting discouraged – and you watch what happens in yourself each time you notice the old same reaction.

A Virus that Turns Gluten into Kryptonite
Winter 2017
When you have celiac disease, your immune system goes berserk in the presence of gluten, the protein that gives bread its stretch. The resulting blitzkrieg turns the villi—the microscopic, finger-like protrusions within the small intestine that absorb nutrients and fluids—into the targets of a search-and-destroy mission.
You can't feel anything as the villi flatten and atrophy, but the resulting dysfunction—gas, bloating, diarrhea, constipation—takes its toll. And that's just for starters. As the damage spreads, the symptoms intensify: malnutrition, behavioral and mental health problems, joint and muscle issues, reproductive dysfunction, even increased risk for some forms of cancer.
There is no cure. But for many people with celiac, in the absence of gluten the attacks subside, and eventually the villi can heal—like skin slowly repairing itself after a burn. Yet probably less than 20 percent of people with celiac get an accurate diagnosis.
As for eliminating gluten, that's no easy task with this darling of the food-processing industry. Some things are obvious—bread products and anything that contains wheat or a half-dozen related grains. But gluten also lurks in the shadows—in condiments, spice mixes, thickeners, even the coating that gives french fries their crunch. When you have celiac, eating away from home turns into an exercise in Russian roulette, and reading ingredient lists becomes a matter of survival.
Approximately one in 130 people worldwide will develop celiac over the course of their lifetimes. "That sounds like long odds," says the University of Pittsburgh's Vira I. Heinz Professor of Pediatrics Terence Dermody, an MD, "but it's not." These days, everyone knows someone who has it.
The puzzling thing, says Dermody, who is chair of pediatrics, is the disparity between the prevalence of the gene variants that confer the risk of developing celiac and the relative rarity of the disease itself.
Between 40 and 50 percent of us have the gene variants for celiac. They're ticking time bombs. Even as we happily make like Eric Carle's very hungry caterpillar—swilling beer and blissfully, ignorantly noshing our way through the Super Bowl buffet—the switch is poised to flip, ready to turn a benign foodstuff into kryptonite.
"So what gives?" says Dermody. "Why isn't celiac more common?"
In April 2017, Science published results of a series of experiments by Dermody and colleagues at the University of Chicago that begin to offer an answer: a combination of wrong-time-wrong-place factors that converge around reovirus, a bug so innocuous that most of us have had it and never even noticed. Even its name—an acronym conferred in 1959 by live-oral polio vaccine developer Albert Sabin—evokes its presumptively benign role in human health. Isolated from the respiratory (r) and enteric (e) tracts, or intestines, of human patients, it was an orphan (o) to which scientists at the time couldn't tie a single human disease.
Board certified in infectious disease, Dermody has spent more than three decades studying reoviruses; he is becoming one of the world's leading experts in the field. Reovirus is the fruit fly of virology—ubiquitous, inexpensive to maintain in a laboratory setting, and possessed of a relatively simple genome. That combination makes this virus family the perfect model for basic virology. In the 60 years since reoviruses were first isolated, scientists have built an extensive body of knowledge describing and manipulating their RNA, developing corresponding mouse models, and digging into just how viruses leverage host biology to perpetuate their own genomes. And reoviruses are pretty much harmless.
"I can look in the eyes of the mothers of my students and postdocs and tell them the virus isn't going to hurt them, and they've already been infected," says Dermody. He has supervised more than 90 aspiring physicians and scientists in his laboratories at Harvard, Vanderbilt, and, since January 2016, the University of Pittsburgh.
Although human exposure to reovirus doesn't cause any symptoms of disease or leave a trail of damage in its wake, the virus can't just skate past the immune system. At some point, probably early in life, reovirus makes its way through our guts, and our adaptive immune system generates antibodies that stay with us for life. That's how we know most of us have been infected.
Like a kid learning to read by sounding out new words, the adaptive immune system—housed, among other places, within the lining of our small intestine—learns by exposure, screening for the molecules, known as antigens, that our white blood cells use to distinguish proteins and assess threats.
"We eat really complex things every day," says Dermody, who is also physician-in-chief and scientific director at Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh of UPMC.
"If salmonella comes in, our immune system sees it as a foreign invader, and tries to clear the infection. But that doesn't happen when you eat a potato, or yogurt, or chicken."
That's because the adaptive immune system treats those antigens with a delicate balance of vigilance and tolerance. We encounter novelty throughout our life spans, and we live in a soup of hazards—aerosolized flu particles in the air at work, trace E. coli on a piece of spinach, a veritable zoo of microbes in a home-brewed bottle of kombucha.
So instead of launching a reaction in response to every unfamiliar antigen we encounter, the adaptive immune system preserves homeostasis, tolerating commensal microbes and the vast majority of foods we ingest, while mounting a defense against pathogenic invaders. Like the cordoned off entrances at an exclusive Manhattan nightclub, the lining of the intestine has its own protocol for deciding who's waved in, who gets stuck in the queue, and who is sent back to Jersey.
The gut actually sorts out what's coming at it with dedicated virus-detection centers known as Peyer's patches, as well as screening stations where food antigens are processed (the mesenteric lymph nodes and the lamina propria).
That compartmentalized approach "reduces the risk of responding to food antigens in the context of pathogens," says immunologist Bana Jabri. Jabri is an MD/PhD, director of research for the University of Chicago Celiac Disease Center, and Dermody's collaborator and the senior author on the Science paper.
Still somehow, with celiac, the body forgets that gluten has a VIP pass to the intestinal club. And the whole system goes haywire, causing a debilitating inflammatory response.
Scientists have long suspected that viral infection might be to blame.
Yet, "it's really difficult to establish cause and effect, the mechanisms that underlie how viruses could trigger celiac or autoimmunity," says Jabri. "That means it's really important to have a good model system, like the mouse."
And a virus.
When Dermody gave an invited lecture at the University of Chicago in 2010, his host, who knew of Jabri's interest in viral triggers, introduced her to Dermody. At the time, he was working with UT Southwestern collaborators to put the finishing touches on a manuscript for Science about how viruses exploit the bacteria within the intestinal microbiome to speed their own replication and transmission. Previously, he'd worked with a team detailing the biochemical choreography of reovirus infection and immunity within Peyer's patches and identified host receptors that reoviruses leverage for their own gain. "One of the key elements [virologists] are studying is what's required in order to defend ourselves against a virus and get rid of it," says Jabri. "As an immunologist working on autoimmune disorders, I want to know why the immune system starts recognizing self and other antigens as dangerous."
Together with funding from the National Institutes of Health—a $3.2 million, four-year grant awarded in 2014—they got down to business. Their first task was for Dermody's group to create two genetically engineered reoviruses that would each infect the mouse intestine and precipitate viral antibody production, without causing physical symptoms or tissue damage. Strains labeled T3D-RV and T1L fit the bill. Although T3D-RV-infected mice developed lower reovirus antibody levels than those exposed to T1L, the two strains had a similar effect on Peyer's patches—security was summoned (i.e., antigens appeared), but little else happened. That's what the researchers expected.
Next, Dermody and Jabri turned their attention to food antigens, looking for differences in immune function among mice infected with each strain. Scientists have long used egg protein as a way to study food tolerance and allergies in mice, so the team fed its T3D-RV- and T1L-infected mice the egg protein ovalbumin. Those exposed to T3D-RV were unaffected. But in the T1L-infected mice, immune system signals got crossed, and they promptly developed an egg allergy.
"What really made this a good science day was that we had two closely related strains of reovirus," says Dermody, "one that blocked tolerance and the other that didn't. We could investigate the underlying immune response to food as a dangerous substance, as opposed to an innocuous substance."
In their third set of experiments, the team subbed in a line of mice engineered with a genetic predisposition to celiac and infected them with one of the two reoviruses. Instead of the egg protein, they fed the mice a big dose of gluten. Again, the T3D-RV mice sailed through. The mice infected with T1L experienced an inflammatory response that looked a lot like celiac. Somehow the mouse's food and virus recognition complex had been turned around. Gluten not only fell off the A list—it was suddenly seen, not as food, but as a dangerous viral pathogen. A gut-wrenching case of mistaken identity.
Dermody and Jabri want to explicate the pathways by which T1L triggers intolerance of food antigens.
First, however, they tackled a question too intriguing to ignore: Do people with celiac have heightened antibodies to particular viruses?
Jabri and a colleague, University of Chicago gastroenterologist Carol Semrad, had blood samples from patients with celiac, as well as gender- and age-matched controls with and without the celiac genes. The researchers combed through all of the samples measuring titer—the level of antibodies to a given antigen—for reovirus, rotavirus, herpes simplex, and even tetanus. (Basically everyone these days gets a tetanus vaccination, so tetanus served as an extra control to reveal whether folks with celiac just exhibit amplified antibody levels across the board.)
People with celiac stood out in only one regard—they had higher reovirus antibody levels than those without a diagnosis, and they were significantly overrepresented among those with very high reovirus titers. Otherwise, their titers were unremarkable. Apparently, certain forms of reovirus can profoundly confuse the biochemical signaling within the part of our adaptive immune system dedicated to food antigens.
The work is far from complete.
"We understand, immunologically, the switch that is thrown that leads food to be tolerated or not," Dermody says, "and we have a clue about reovirus and celiac." But more investigation is required to understand timing and causal elements of the relationship.
Dermody and Jabri have studies under way to test whether a reovirus vaccination can keep mice with the celiac gene from developing the disease. If it works, they'll have made the case that for people at high risk, a vaccine might prevent full-blown celiac. They're also designing a prospective study to follow children with a genetic predisposition, monitoring their viral antibodies, weaning, and solid food introduction for better clues about when and how celiac manifests. The work also has the potential to reveal other viruses that can derange the same delicate signaling pathways reovirus affects. Meanwhile, both Dermody and Jabri have a host of questions about the role of the microbiome, as well as the effect of the timing of a viral infection on subsequent immunity dysfunction.
Michele Dorfsman, an MD associate professor of emergency medicine at Pitt, and her children were diagnosed with celiac in 2015, when her youngest was 9 and the oldest was 14. Various digestive issues had plagued the four for as long as they could remember. Then Maria, the youngest, developed severe tummy aches and anxiety. She started seeing a therapist, and her pediatrician treated her for constipation. Her symptoms escalated, however, and she was finally admitted to the hospital. As part of her inpatient bloodwork, the lab checked for gluten antibodies. A biopsy of her villi confirmed celiac. "Now that I quit eating gluten," says the sixth grader, "I feel amazing. I feel really happy, not sad anymore."
The transformation was incredible, says Dorfsman. "Maria jokes that she had to go to a therapist because of her celiac."
At the time, however, it was no joking matter. Celiac genes run in families, so Dorfsman and the older children were screened, as well. The elder, Elena, had a positive biopsy though her endoscopy looked normal. Fourteen-year-old Oscar, however, had ulcers. The severity of his presentation also helped to explain a mystery that had confounded the family since his infancy. "When Oscar was 1, he weighed 22 pounds," says Dorfsman, who notes that her son hovered in the third percentile for height and weight throughout his childhood. "When he was 2, he weighed 20 pounds." A failure-to-thrive workup at the time yielded no insight.
Then the family eliminated gluten. Oscar grew four inches in two months, and Dorfsman, who is the program director for Pitt's emergency medicine residency, discovered that her very long list of food intolerances evaporated. The renewed ability to enjoy avocado, broccoli, cantaloupe, cauliflower, pineapple, and zucchini has more than made up for the pizza she foregoes at resident events.
"My GI tract was just so messed up that I was reacting to a lot of different things," she says.
Dorfsman's family says the boost in overall health has been well worth the hassles of going gluten free.
That said, each would happily have opted for a vaccine, if one had been available, to preserve their gluten tolerance.
"Couscous," says Maria.
"Chicken nuggets," adds Elena.
"Pizza and hamburgers with real buns," says Oscar. "Sourdough bread. Baguettes. Bread bowls."
As passionate as Dermody is about exploring reovirus, he's equally intent on training aspiring scientists. With ever increasing numbers of his trainees launching their own labs—often leveraging the projects they started under his tutelage—the field has been getting crowded. "I wanted my postdocs to be able to take their reovirus scholarship and use it as the foundation for their own independent careers," he says. "I wanted to be out of their way." So even as the work with Jabri continues, Dermody is increasingly focused on chikungunya, a mosquito-borne virus common in Africa, Asia, and the Indian subcontinent.
Most people clear chikungunya. But a select few develop severe, lifelong arthritis. Understanding how a blood-borne virus makes its way to the joints could offer insight about how viral invaders circumvent human host barriers to affect a particular system or organ, whether the liver (as in hepatitis), the brain (encephalitis), or the joints (chikungunya). "What's the beacon calling the virus to that spot?" Dermody wonders. "And once it lands, how does it initiate an infectious cycle and destroy the cell?"
A rewarding career, Dermody frequently tells students, is at the intersection of three circles inscribing personal talents, personal passions, and things the world needs. Find the space where those three overlap, he says, and you can change the world.
Yet for Dermody, who leads a major Pitt department as well as both the clinical and research programs at Children's, the idea that his basic inquiries into the biology of an innocuous virus could actually reduce human suffering in his own lifetime is still a thrill: "I couldn't have imagined in the spring of 2010 that we would ever get to the point where we might alleviate a condition that is prevalent in one in 130 Americans.
"To be able to help in that way, with our very basic research studies, learn new things about pathogenesis and preventatives, is pretty gratifying."

text: I have just written this evening our monthly update email to members. Whilst this is not normally shared with non members, it will give you a flavour of what we are up to and hopefully encourage you to join us! Here goes… have a read and let me know if you would like an application form! More than happy to meet with you beforehand if you wish. Membership is just £15 April to April…Dear All,We hope you've all had a fantastic summer, whether you chose to spend it training hard, competing or relaxing with family and friends.It was good to see so many at the club night last Friday, many thanks for continuing to support us.A summary of regular sessions which the single sport clubs run can be found on our website, as usual. If you're stuck for someone to train with then check out the options for swim, bike or run. Or you can always post suggestions on the email group. We welcome and encourage this.Tuesday Bike to Run Brick SessionThroughout the summer, these have proved very popular, but last night marked the end of the "official " sessions due to the evenings being shortened. However, if individuals would like to carry on doing these on an ad-hoc basis throughout September then please organise this yourselves, but please remember to carry plenty of illumination as it gets dark extremely quickly at this time of the year – and it is easy to get caught out. Be careful out there!Next Tuesday, we are planning a social get-together in The Calleva Arms, Silchester from 7pm. Hopefully see you there, to celebrate the success of our inaugural brick sessions. Thanks to Martin! PLEASE NOTE – THIS EVENT HAS NOW PASSEDTurboStarts October 9th! See you there!Many of you have been out there racing this year and I wouldn't mind betting that we have completed more events this year than any before! Well done all of you that have contributed to the tally. Don't forget to tell us what you've been up to and share your tips, triumphs and comedy moments by sharing your race report with us on the e-group, and Daryl will post to the website for you. Also send in any photos of you competing (non copyrighted, non-commercial), especially if you are in your club kit!Intermediate Cycle Mechanics TrainingAs you know re had to re-schedule this due to illness of the instructor. This is likely to be rearranged for October / November for the Intermediate Level Course. Daryl will collect interested names over the next month or so, so if interested – let him know! Simples. No names = no course.Club Branded KitClub Bottles£3 each – contact Daryl if you need another.Cycle/Tri kit – Everyone has been very happy with the last delivery of kit. We still have plenty of stock – see the website to see options and pricing. It is great to see everyone wearing and enjoying their kit, and it gives a great sense of belonging. We are very proud of what we have achieved with the kit – wear it with pride!Promotional ItemsWe now have the Promotional Flags to use at events and other gatherings. They are very simple to erect and look fantastic. If borrowing them, please try to keep the flags off the ground otherwise the white won't stay white! This is easier than it sounds when erecting and disassembling, so please return them in the as-new condition they are now. They are available for collection from Daryl's Shed 🙂We are also looking at flyers to go under windscreen wipers at future events. I would love a volunteer to come forward to design a simple flyer that we could distribute at, for example, the Basingstoke Half Marathon. The Committee can supply the artwork, if you can supply a bit of your time – so please come forward and enable this.So if anyone is attending the Basingstoke half or has a support crew who would be happy to help out, we will be looking for volunteers to distribute. Thank You.We have also developed 'business cards' which you can hand on to people you come across who might want to learn more about the club. We have found that these have been extremely useful already, but are interested in your own experiences with them – please let us know on the e-group or privately. If you haven't got any, get in touch and they will be sent to you.Membership FeesSadly, we have lost a very small number of members due to non renewals, for various reasons such as moving away from the area. It is pleasing however that the losses haven't been due to our ability to deliver expectations. On the positive side, we have gained members also and following the Olympics it looks like this trend is set to continue. Please do all you can to encourage new members, as this helps to build inertia – use the business cards!Riccione Training / Holiday Camp, Hotel Fedora.Judging from the excitement already building, we will be planning our Tenth Anniversary Pilgrimage to Hotel Fedora for April/May next year. For details of this fab holiday, speak to someone who has already been, and start saving your pennies now!The OympicsAfter the fantastic performances of Team Sky during the Tour de France, we were given second and third helpings with the Olympics and Paralympic Games. Surprisingly, during this busy period we received only a moderate number of enquiries over and above "normal". However, since the events I have been receiving up to 1-2 per day of interested athletes and would-be athletes. Just a few of these have turned up to our brick sessions, but I really hope that we are able to transfer this interest into Memberships and helping to contribute to the Squad.In particular, we have – and are – receiving a lot of enquiries from parents wishing to start their children off on the right course. These enquiries are probably the most difficult to answer, and is something that we need to think carefully about in the future as to what we should be offering this age range – often seen as the life-blood in other clubs and societies.The "Join-In" Event.As you know, we made one of our brick sessions an official Join-In event. Unfortunately our event seemed to mark the end of the dry part of the summer and the heavens opened prior to the event, and this would undoubtedly have kept people indoors. This initiative was part of the Olympic Legacy and Daryl received an incredible amount of phone calls and emails from the Legacy Committee asking if there was anything else they could do to promote the event prior to it. In short, the Join-In website was poorly publicised and did not work for us this time. Join-In have been informed, but now we are registered we may also use their website for turbo and other sessions.Queensford LakeMany thanks to Ashley for arranging a team approach, and good luck to all who are taking part!End of Season DoWe are sure you will join us in thanking Tennille for arranging our End of Season Do, which was held at Pizza Express, Basingstoke last Sunday evening. We all had a great time, and there was even a prize giving! The prizes and winners were as follows:Martin Harris – Most Turbo Sessions AttendedHeidi Barker – Most Turbo Sessions AttendedRicky Stayte – Most Brick Sessions AttendedFee Powley – Most photos on the web site wearing Squad kit.Ashley Walton – Most Improved Mechanic (now knows how to mend a puncture 🙂 )Ashley Walton – Most Race Reports on the web site.Unfortunately Ashley was unable to attend – so please get in touch and we will despatch your goody bag!Many thanks Tennille for a great evening.Autumn / Winter Rides:The alternate 30 / 60 / 30 mile rides are likely to start in October. These rides were very successful last year – the lower mileage ones are particularly important to aid newcomers to the sport, and we gain as a club with new members joining. We will be looking for volunteers to lead these week end rides, as it is important that we achieve consistency over the winter. The more volunteers, the less individuals have to do so please come forward and contribute. Daryl is looking forward to trying out his new Dri-Fit cycle top in the cooler weather…And finally…It is with much regret that we say "Goodbye" to Fee. Fee has been instrumental in forging the shape of the Squad over recent years, looking after both our money and members. We won't repeat the "Best Man's Speech" that Daryl made on Sunday (you had to be there, sorry!) but suffice to say that she will be sorely missed. From all of us Fee, we wish you every success with your career and hope to see you in Riccione!Next Club meeting – We have a guest speaker to discuss Hydration aspects of training.Friday 5th October at 20:00Committee members 19:00 please.This update contains several "actions" for members to complete in terms of putting your names forward. Please go back over the update, and where it may relate to you, please let us know.Happy training!Your CommitteeDaryl, Ricky, Lorraine, Tennille, Martin, Katie. Fiona (just!),

Metrorail regional manager, Richard Walker has confirmed that the that all central line train services have been suspended until further notice.
Commuters were left stranded on Monday morning as the announcement was only made late on Sunday night.
Walker says the decision is due to months of serious vandalism, cable theft, and destruction of critical infrastructure in the area.

The vandalism has been ongoing and the recent vandalism and spate of attacks has brought down the entire signal system from Langa right through to Philippi.Richard Walker, Metrorail Regional Manager
Walker says the technical team worked tirelessly to rewire and replace the cables only to be destroyed again in a few days.
He says all the efforts to secure the place and equipment have been deliberately compromised by organised crime syndicates.
The police are also finding it difficult to control the crime in the area says Walker.

Sydney Southern Cross Quilters - Patchwork and Quilting
01 December 2018
It's always... Fun, Fun, Fun at the Blue Gum!
We enjoyed our usual room all on our own... there were 14 of us here today, I know... we aren't all in this photo.
Jean dug out an old project and managed to get a whole row put together.
Cath was binding just as I was below.
This quilt is more than 40 years old, I put these squares together back in 1977, in England, to hide an ugly couch, I didn't know anything about Patchwork back then so it was just these squares. When we returned home I turned them into two Duvet Covers... and it was only just this year that I decided they really needed to be quilts... so I will have two single quilts when I finish binding them.
Irene was busy knitting away...
Lynne is stitching a????
Aaaahhhh... a Bird! That's what she's stitching, hope we see more of this another day.
This looks good fun, being put together by Ann.
Heather was binding.
Joy was sewing down this funky Magpie!
Fiona was quilting... Hey we are a Quilting Group but I think Fiona was the only one actually quilting!! Yay!
Liz was stitching a Reindeer... another one to come I suspect!
Ruth was knitting a hat and she certainly managed to get a lot of work done today that's for sure.
Becky and Stephanie were knitting the same jumper can you tell who is doing which colour??
Here they are... Becky in Green and Stephanie in Pink! I think I need to knit this pattern, I really like it.
Becky is modeling Marilyn's shawl.
Check out all the beautiful work that's gone into Stephanie's little bag, just lovely!
.... and talking of Beautiful, I just love this bracelet belonging to Liz, she bought it in Paddington recently... made from old cutlery... what a clever idea!
This is what Heather was binding, a Christmas Wall hanging for a friend.
Becky has been to a hand dying course, how lovely are these two.

Major League All-Star Ron Hunt (1960-61) is returning to Perfect Game Field tomorrow night along with his fellow Cedar Rapids Braves teammates Barry Morgan (1961) and Paul Snyder (1959, 1961). They will be on hand as part of our Hall of Fame / Alumni night at the ballpark season here at Veterans Memorial Stadium. The 1961 Cedar Rapids Braves team finished 2nd with a 73-57 record under manager Jimmy Brown. Jack Cookman, a pitcher for the 1949 Cedar Rapids Rockets and former MLB player and manager Bruce Kimm will be returning as well. Kimm managed the 1983 Cedar Rapids Reds squad to a 3rd place finish with a 76-64 record. The most recent Cedar Rapids professional baseball Hall of Fame class featuring John Campbell, Reggie Jefferson (1987-88) and Jack Roeder (CR G.M. 1991-2010) will be featured as part of the evening's festivities. Kernels manager Jamie Burke (1994) and hitting coach Mike Eylward (2002) will be honored pregame as well. The Cedar Rapids professional baseball alumni will be involved in pregame festivities and will be signing autographs on the concourse during the game if they are not busy working (Burke/Eylward). Jefferson will not be in attendance. Gates open at 5:30 p.m. for our game against the San Diego Padres Midwest league affiliate, the Fort Wayne TinCaps. First pitch is set for 6:35.

He led the Mets in hits (145), Batting average, doubles (28), and runs scored (48) playing for Casey Stengal.
Hunt hit the first extra base hit and score the first Mets run at Shea Stadium when it opened. He was the first Mets player to be selected to the All-Star game when he hit .303 with 6 HR and 42 RBI in 1964. The honor was even more special as the game was the only All-Star game to be played in front of the home town Mets fans at Shea Stadium. He was also selected to the 1966 National League All-Star squad.
Ron Hunt was well known for being hit by pitches. He held numerous records for the stat when he retired after the 1974 season. Hunt was also known for being very difficult to strike out. He only struck out 382 times in 6158 plate appearances. Hunt walked 555 times and was hit by a pitch 243 times for comparison. He led the league seven straight years in HBP from 1968-1974.
Paul Snyder (1959, 1961) spent 50 years working in the Braves system on and off the field. He hit .362 with 1 HR and 2 doubles in 15 games in 1959. He returned to hit .310 with 14 HR and 19 doubles in 126 games for the Cedar Rapids Braves in 1961. Snyder posted a .318 batting average, 60 HR and 102 doubles during his 7 year minor league career.
Snyder managed the Greenville Braves in 1963, the Sarasota Braves in 1964 and 1966, the Binghamton Triplets in 1965, the Magic Valley Cowboys in 1970 and the Greenwood Braves in 1972. In 1973, Snyder joined the Braves front office as the assistant minor league administrator prior to taking the reins of the Braves player development system in 1977.
Snyder's efforts as the Braves' scouting director (1981-90, 1999-2000), assistant to the General Manager (1991-95, 2001-06), and director of player development (1977-1980, 1996-98) played an integral role as the Braves dominated the National League in the early 1990′s and won the World Series in 1995. He retired following the 2007 season. Baseball America named him one of the top 25 people in baseball in the publications 25th Anniversary issue in 2006.
Barry Morgan (1961) hit .289 with 23 HR and 20 doubles in 130 games for the 1961 Cedar Rapids Braves. Morgan hit .267 with 165 HR during his 12 season minor league playing career reaching as high as AAA playing for the Toledo Mud Hens in 1969 and 1970.

The 1949 Rockets finished in fourth place in the Central Association with a record of 63-67 under manager Packy Rogers guidance. 1949 was Cookman's final season in the minors due to an arm injury. He had played two season with the Fon du Lac Panthers, the New York Yankees affiliate in the Wisconsin State League in 1947 and 1948 before coming to Cedar Rapids.
Jack Cookman brought us this photo of a few of the 1949 Cedar Rapids Rockets pitchers posing in front of their bus. Cookman is the one on the lower right corner.
Bruce Kimm, a Norway, Ia. native, played MLB baseball for the Tigers, Cubs and White Sox between 1976-80. Kimm then continued working in baseball as a minor league manager in the Tigers, Reds and Cubs organizations between 1982-2002. Kimm managed the 1983 Cedar Rapids Reds squad featuring future MLB players Chris Sabo and Kal Daniels among others to a 3rd place finish with a 76-64 record. Kimm managed the Chicago Cubs for 78 (33-45 record) games during the 2002 season.

Nacha and Other Financial Industry Participants Join Forces with Microsoft to Combat Online Fraud and Identity Theft
In an effort to help reduce potential future fraud and retain confidence in electronic payments systems, Nacha joined with Microsoft Corporation, the Financial Services – Information Sharing and Analysis Center (FS-ISAC), the American Bankers Association (ABA), Kyrus Tech, Inc., and financial institution representatives to plan and execute a coordinated operation to disrupt some of the most notorious cybercrime operations that have been responsible for fueling online fraud and identity theft.
The operation targeted some of the most harmful botnets using the Zeus family of malware worldwide, which were linked to spam in which Nacha, Microsoft, and other entities' trademarks were counterfeited. Botnets, or armies of malware infected computers, infect other computers with the purpose of compromising the user's online credentials, thereby enabling fraudulent financial activity.
Evidence and intelligence gained through the operation by Microsoft will be used to help rescue people's computers from the control of Zeus, as well as in an ongoing effort to undermine the cybercriminal organization and help hold those responsible accountable for their actions.

Look who came for a visit!
Recently, Debra Kristi from my WANA1011 class sent her Thor action figure on a world tour. I'm not sure how many days or how many places he'll visit, but he showed up at my house last week.
I knew he was coming. In fact, for several weeks, I'd been mulling over what we were going to do during his visit. And then the morning after he arrived, just as the alarm went off and woke me from a deep, dreamless sleep, it hit me.
I've recorded the event at my site and hope you'll pop over today. I promise to be back next time with an actual post written specifically for the Women's Unplugged site. 🙂 Until then, I hope you'll enjoy:
Dear Debra Kristi — A "Dear John" Letter from Thor.
Special Note: I'm so excited! We have two new members joining us at the Women Unplugged site. For now, let me welcome Kim Boykin and Janna Qualman to our site!!! 🙂 Watch for Kim and Janna to introduce themselves soon.

Growing up in the 60s as the drummer of a band that was starting to surface in the pop culture and mainstream stardom, it was hard to break free from the 'sex-drugs-and-rock n roll pandemonium that instantly shackles rock bands till this day. In similar respect, The Who took to the world a new born crazed back in 1967 amassing a firm and solid fan base for their music and notorious stage antics. The Who, who has been inducted as the 3rd most notable British band in the Rock and Roll history following The Rolling Stones and The Beetles, were the first ever band to destroy their equipments on stage that ultimately became their most prominent signature of their performances.
Keith Moon, God rest his soul, once drove his car through the glass doors of a hotel,
driving all the way up to the reception desk,
got out and asked for the key to his room – Pete Twonshend
My Generation
1964 – The Who emerged around this time with Roger Daltrey on vocals, Pete Townshend on guitars, John Entwistle on bass and Keith Moon on drums. Today one of their most prominent milestone can be heard from TV's popular crime scene chronicles, CSI: MIAMI theme song, Never Get Fooled Again.
Keith Moon auditioned for the drummers position and was immediately accepted thus he continued telling different version of how he initially started with 'The Who'. Some of which are:
'He claimed that he came to The Who's gig dressed in ginger including his hair that was dyed ginger and bragged he could play better than the session drummer who filled in for Sandom claiming that he played until almost destroying the kits in the process'
'He also told Paul McCartney of The Beatles when asked how he joined The Who that he has just been filling in for the band for the last 15 years and never really got an invitation to join the band officially'
1964 – While Sandom was the peacekeeper of the band, which was constantly getting into fights that was more notable between Pete and John, the structure changed after Keith as now they were fighting with each other almost all the time. Pete was particularly unhappy with the way Keith played the drums for not following the traditional time keeping later attested that Keith's drumming style contributed to their discerning sounds. Critics continued labelling his drumming skills to be all over the place but throughout countless video clips of The Who during their hey day's, it is almost clear that he purposely did to create a chaos within the music itself. The same chaos that gave the band the acceptance in the musical platform that they so richly deserved.
More Stories on Keith Moon here: He's Keith Moon, What's Your Super Power?.
Constantly described as an expressionist and attention grabber, Keith hated playing drum's solo and during a show, Pete and John made an agreement to stop playing guitar and bass during one of the songs to allow the spotlight on Keith's drum solos. The moment he realised that Pete and John, stopped playing, he too quit the drum's succession, claiming that 'drum solos were boring'
Besides his extraordinary skills at drums, Keith loved to sing despite of his weak vocals. During recording of vocals, Moon got himself removed from the studio for attempting to offer funny commentaries during songs announcement and making the other members laugh while recording. But Moon being Moon always found a way back into the recording studio as heard at the end of 'Happy Jack' where Townshend says 'I saw ya!' when he saw Moon sneaking in. Moon eventually contributed on songs like; Bucket T, Barbara Ann, Pictures of Lily and a more serious tone on Bell Boy. Moon will continue contributing his vocals on many other songs and will be credited with endless recognition for being the main propeller in certain aspect of changing the direction of Who's music in a distinctive and versatile manner. Some of his most talked about contributions are seen through songs like Baba O'Riley for producing a violin solo, the impact on 'Tommy's Holiday Inn' which was achieved through action set in the backdrop of Holliday Inn as per Moon's suggestion and 'The Ox' instrumental that he co-composed.
Years later many would agree that even when all the individual members were emotional power play that supported 'The Who's' structure, Moon was the soul of the band who kept them together despite of having the who banned from all principle hotel chains such as Holiday Inn, Sheraton and Hilton plus the entire city of Flint, Michigan. He aded a dramatic grit to the proceeding and was the fine line that kept the band from crossing to the monotonous land.
More pictures on The Who: The Who – The Milestone.
1964 – It has been reported that the whole 'The Who' stage antics started around this time during a performance at Railway Tavern where Pete Townshend accidentally broke his guitar. He proceeded in smashing his guitar out of frustration and Keith responded by kicking off his drum covers. What started out as a mere accident instantly captured fans interest who cited their infatuation for The Who's knack for destruction. This will continue to become The Who's would soon become The Who's legendary imprint taking place on all their future shows. It has also been one of the staples of "50 Moments That Changed The History Of Rock n Roll' by Rolling Stones.

1967 – The Who embarked on their first ever US tour as a supporting act to the then main headliners Herman's Hermitts.
– The Who appeared on The Smothers Brothers Comedy Show in 1967 and this would serve as their most defining moment of the show ultimately securing The Who number 10 ranking in the '100 Greatest Rock n Roll Moments On Television'. By this time, The Who were already famously known for the mild explosion in their shows through an explosive that was placed in Keith Moon's drum kits to create a light pyrotechnic effect. Unbeknown to them, Keith Moon had bribed a stage staff to insert 10 times the usual amount of explosive into the kits and when Keith proceeded to detonate it, the explosion was so loud and intense that it injured Keith, set Pete's hair on fire and affected his hearing (the beginning of Pete's Tinnitus) with Tommy Smothers appearing shocked in the background. Watch clip, you will see Keith Moon lying flat on the floor.
Tommy – 1969

Quodrophenia – 1973

1975 – The Who set the record for the highest crowd to turn up for an indoor concert at the Pontiac Silverdome
1975 – Keith Moon releases a solo album 'Two Sides Of The Moon', which was a critical failure. Being the greatest drummer of his time, he merely appeared in 3 tracks and rendered his vocals throughout the album. A defeating failure largely due to Keith Moon being tone-deaf.
1975 – The Who became one of the first bands to venture into film and based on their hit rock opera album, the film Tommy was released. Tommy won the award 'Rock Movie Of The Year' in the first annual of 'Rock Music Award'. Pete Townshend was nominated for Oscar for his role in the music adaptation and the movie's soundtrack became a commercial success peaking at number two on the Billboards Award.
1976 – The Who played at The Valley, Charlton Athletic, which was recorded as The World's Loudest Concert for more then 10 years in Guinness Book Of Records. It is believed that the impact of the concert furthered instigated Pete Townshend's hearing problems.
Who Are You – 1978
1978 – The Who released their most critical album to date, which became the fastest selling album in US and the most successful milestone from The Who's hefty catalog. It is said during this time, Keith Moon has put up a lot of weight from all the heavy drinking he did that he had to be squeezed behind a chair just so his bulge won't show for the cover shot. The album was released on the 18 of August and went on to receive endless awards in the wake of Keith's passing.
1978 – Keith Moon died from an overdose on the 7th of September a few hours after attending a viewing party organised by Beatle's Paul McCartney. The party 'The Buddy Holly Story' was in honour of another rock star who unfortunately passed away at the peak of his career at the tender age of 22 when the small aircraft he chartered crashed on the 2nd February in the face of a snowstorm. Buddy Holly who had 3 albums to his musical career was found with the rest of the passengers on the next day after the snowstorm has weathered. Keith Moon overdosed on a prescribed medication that was supplied to help alcohol withdrawal symptoms.
– At the time of his death, Keith Moon seems to have sobered up for about 6 months and was making a full effort of recovery and was focusing on his new job as the publicist of Shepperton Studios that belonged to the band.
Quite eerily so, the cover of the chair that Moon is sitting on read: Never To Be Taken Away and he passed away in less than 3 weeks after the album was released.
1979 – The Who returned to the stage in May after taking some time off following Keith's death and their return was well-received by the fans with Rainbow Theatre, London marking the first venue of a series of concerts to follow.
1979 – Following Keith Moon's death, Pete Townshend invited Kenney Jones to join The Who and replace Moon on the drums partly because Jones was also one of Moon's friend and was with him on the night before his death at Paul McCartney's The Buddy Holly Story viewing party.
-The Who's second movie Quadrophenia was released in 1979. It is reported that Sex Pistol's vocalist John Lydon famously known as Johnny Rotten auditioned for a part in the film but did not manage to secure a part.
– In the same year, 'The Kids Are Alright' documentary was released capturing The Who's signifying moments together with their final performance with Keith Moon.
-Later that year, The Who appeared on the 'Time's' cover making them the 3rd band to formally do so. As stated in The Time Magazine December 1979 issue, cover story by Jay Cocks:
Time enough, in 15 years, for three new generations and a dozen new audiences.
The Who has outpaced them all.
Time enough for a bewilderment of pop styles to flare, settle, burn out.
The Who has outlasted them all.
Too much time for most rock bands to survive.
The Who, in every sense of the word, has outlived them all, and outclassed them too
Full story as per below, you will need to have an account with the following to enable you to access to the archives.
1979 – During a tour in Ohio in 1979, a crowd crush killed 11 people and injuring 26 others who went to the concert to catch 'The Who's' performance. The crowd mistook the band's soundcheck as the initiation of the show and started to rush through a half closed door to the venue. It is believed that the whole commotion was due to the free seating concept and the efforts to get as close to the stage due to the arrangement ended in tragedy. The band members were not told about the incident until they had finished performing. A detailed description are available in this clip:
The Who were deeply shaken upon learning about the incident and in the following evening as they set to perform to a crowd in Buffalo, New York, Roger Daltrey went on to quote:
'The band lost a lot of family last night and this show is for them'
The tragedy left a huge blow on the band members who felt partly responsible for the death of 11 kids that were around the age of 15 to 27. The families of the victims proceeded in suing the band, the concert promoters Electric Factory Concerts and the city of Cincinnati. The legal issues were settled in 1983 and the city continued to post a 25 years ban on festival seatings with some exception which was dismissed in …
The concert was recorded as one of the deadliest concert disaster in American History at the time and no memorial was ever erected for the victims.
The Cincinnati tragedy also inspired the book: Are The Kid's Alright? The Rock Generation and its Hidden Death Wishes.
1980 – The Who's third film, McVicar was released
Face Dancers – 1981
It's Hard – 1982
Around 1980 circa to 1982, the band was going through immense pressure as Townshend marriage fell apart and he ventured into the web of addiction by taking cocaine and heroin. Once a huge protestor of drugs and a self-righteous man, his newly found habits shocked not only the world but also his band members. While the band released two equally successful albums within the frame of 2 years with hits that ranked high on prominent charts, many of their fans expressed dissatisfaction towards the band's new sound.
1982 – Townshend eventually pulled himself together and embarked on The Who's farewell tour to US and Canada. The tour marked as The Who's highest grossing ever and the band played to sold out crowds.

Public schools across Edmonton start recycling, this fall. Just like at home.
One of our most frequent questions is pizza boxes.
Well, here's the answer... and answers to more common questions about recycling. This will help anyone use a Blue Bag or Blue Bin. Keep the message positive and keep folks recycling!
Are pizza boxes recyclable?Yes. If your pizza box has a few spots of grease, it's no problem. But please put the sheet that the pizza sits on in the garbage.
Are chip bags and candy wrappers recyclable?No. They should be put in the garbage.
Are all plastic containers recyclable?Like plastic bags, there are many types of plastic containers. Some are recyclable and some are not. As long as they are clean, dry, larger than the palm of your hand and smaller than a basketball, then they are OK to go in the recycling bin. They will be sorted out at the recycling plant. The ones that do not get recycled will be converted to methanol or ethanol so there is no waste.
Are disposable cups recyclable?Some are, but because there is such a wide variety it's difficult to communicate to all residents which ones are and which ones aren't. To simplify matters we ask that all of them be put in the garbage. They will be converted into compost or ethanol.
Isn't shredded paper recyclable?Technically, shredded paper is recyclable. However, because it's fluffy like confetti it jams moving parts at the recycling plant and causes plant shutdowns. Please put it in the garbage. It will be composted.
What do I do with caps and lids?Put caps and lids in the garbage.
Do I need to remove labels?No. Labels are OK on all containers.
Isn't Styrofoam recyclable?Yes, Styrofoam is recyclable but due to the extreme lightness for its volume it's difficult to recycle economically. The good news is that it won't be wasted if it's put in the garbage in Edmonton. Together with other non-recyclable or non-compostable waste, it will be converted
into methanol or ethanol.
Are zip lock bags and similar plastic sandwich bags recyclable?There are almost countless different types of plastic bags. Some are recyclable and some are not. You can put any plastic bag into your recycling bin as long as it is clean and dry. They will be sorted out at the recycling plant. The ones that do not get recycled will be converted to methanol or ethanol so there is no waste.
How clean do containers need to be?Well rinsed is sufficient. A small amount of residue is OK but anything more than that is unacceptable. If it's difficult to get a certain container clean – peanut butter can be challenging – it's alright to put it into the garbage. It will be converted into methanol or ethanol.

Doria talks about affordable housing
On Sunday October 7th the Star-Ledger published an overview Joe Doria who has been appointed the Commissioner of the Department of Community Affairs. He begins work on Tuesday October 9th. Most of the article was on his background as an educator and as a member of the Legislature. To read the full article click here.
The following is an excerpt of his brief comments on affordable housing.
"Obviously, it is a challenge," Doria. "But my time in government, in the Legislature and as mayor, has given me the opportunity to understand what is needed to get the job done effectively."
Doria said moving on Corzine's pledge to provide 100,000 affordable and "work-force" houses and apartments over 10 years is his biggest issue. "We need homes for workers, otherwise the economy does not progress," he said.
Hours before Corzine announced his nomination, Doria met with advocates on housing, planning, building and the environment and said he would listen "to all points of view." Always strident and rarely happy, the advocates left professing optimism — for now.
Codey, for one, believes Doria can keep all factions talking.
"To survive in Hudson County for so long," he said, "that in itself is a testament to his ability to work with people."
We hope and pray that former Governor Codey is right and the Commissioner Doria can make the plan to build 100,000 affordable housing units a reality.

Valencia star Nicolas Otamendi is reportedly just a few details away from completing a long-anticipated transfer to Manchester United, according to the Metro website.
The Argentina international was heavily linked with a move to Old Trafford at the start of the transfer window, as Louis Van Gaal seeked to add a world class defender to his squad.
However, with top target Sergio Ramos set to put pen to paper on a five-year contract extension at the Bernabeu, Valencia-based TV station SillasGol are reporting that Otamendi is now closer than ever to a move to Manchester.
According to SillasGol, Otamendi is just a matter of details away from a move to England, with the station's director Nacho Cotino confirming that they understand the player's destination to be Old Trafford.
