Some Happy News


Between proposed freeway closures, car problems, bankruptcies, and other failures, it's time for some happy news, don't you think?

Jennifer Reinhart announces the opening of her home-based quilting business in Newport, I'm Sew Happy Quilting.

Reinhart offers professional, long-arm machine quilting services specializing in computer and hand guided designs, "and affordable quilts for everyday pleasures," she said. "The services I offer (include) many options for quilting - basting for the hand quilter, binding services, and a variety of other options for finishing quilts."


To keep the mood happy, I won't say why she started a home-based business.

In which we enter the alternative universe in which police always believe dreadlocked individuals

But Walter Prince , Berdovsky's new layer (replacing semi-guardian Michael Rich ), puts a different spin on the whol...

Sources: Salon , The Independent , Guardian Unlimited Helen Marnie grew up in smalltown Scotland, then moved via Glasgow to Liverpool University , where she met Danny and Reuben. Nowadays she lives in London's Hoxton. Two guys. Two girls. All in their late twenties. All four members play keyboards -- Marnie is a classically trained pianist -- but it's Hunt and Wu's clever beats and fastidious melodies that lend the group their signature sound. Ladytron are a talented troop of urbanites spanning Liverpool (Daniel Hunt and Reuben Wu), Glasgow (Helen Marnie) and Sofia, Bulgaria (Mira Aroyo). Piles of records are stacked up against the minibar, and Helen has brought along a few of her favourites to play over the course of t...
