[lace] Galician bobbin lace
Hello all spiders, As a complementary information for lacemakers that have downloaded the Galician Lace Catalog and are thinking to give it a try to some of the patterns, on the site: http://www.blen.net/blen_14/140301.htm you will find out technical characteristics of Camariñas bobbin lace. The text is written by Concha Canoura, she is the author of the Galician Catalog, that we had been speaking these last days. Hope this helps to understand some of the catalog patterns. Regards from Barcelona. Spain.

Re: [lace] The Lace Confederacy
[EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote Another thought. Since The Lace Guild, the Lace Society and even The Lacemakers Circle are all already taken, perhaps the lace association primarily, but not exclusively, located in North America might call itself the Lace Confederacy. I had a chuckle at this suggestion. And my immediate thought for setting the cat amongst the pigeons was Why not the Lace Union? (Note the non caps in 'the for the excessively sensitive). - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: [lace] Galician bobbin lace
Ah the joys of having broadband arrive just as I wanted to download the 50mb file. But, now a questions, I wanted to print out one or two of the patterns to look at in bed and realised that they are A3 in size so if I print them they will be 1/2 size - am I right in thinking this?

I hate the way that non Arachnes look down on us for being computer geeks. For a long while I couldn't afford to join any of the main groups and being in Arachne kept me feeling that I was a member of a global lace group. Even now, although I'm invovled in one of the national societies I'm not able to find a local group that I want to belong to (thoughts of Groucho Marx go through my mind where he said why would I want to be a member of any group that would have me as a member!). So, in the mean time, my local group is Arachne.

Re: [lace] The Lace Confederacy/Union
VBG! My first mental image was of the Denver convention, when we have the regional meetings--the Union region will meeting over here, the Confederacy region over there My next mental image was of Jimmy Hoffa being elected our next president. [For the non-US arachneans, Hoffa was a controversial leader of probably the largest and most powerful labor union in this country when I was a kid, until he disappeared.] Robin P.

[lace] American Federation of Lace
I have to say that many of the initials being proposed for a new name run the risk of sounding a great deal like the AFL. In the US the AFL is the American Federation of Labor where Jimmy Hoffa would feel very comfortable indeed, if he were not buried under the New Jersey Meadowlands Arena. Consequently I think the American Federation of Lace should be avoided lest we be mistaken for unionized lace workers. I kind of like the Lace Union or even Lace United. I always thought Manchester United was a very strong name implying a singularity of purpose. Maybe the Lace Alliance? Unfortunately ALMS, suggested by Robin, was not a possibility because we have decided that Lacemakers is a single word, so the opportunity for us to Beg for ALMS will not be occurring. (I spend a lot of time begging for photographs for the IOLI, so I was looking forward to begging for ALMS.) Alternatively Robin suggested American Lacemakers and Students, with the acronym ALAS. But while the name is good the acronym is a little defeatist. Perhaps we need a public relations firm to design a sleek new name and logo.

Has anyone actually been able to download this successfully? I thought I had, but my computer refused to open the file I had saved, says it is damaged.

I had trouble at work downloading it (have broadband there), and saving it to a CD, but I think someone mentioned that you needed Adobe 7.0, so I updated my Adobe Acrobat Reader, and was then tried one more time. That time I was successful ... also I did it as save target as to the CD. So I come home, where I have a 5 year old confuser with Adobe 5.1, and can't open the CD. My next step is to see if one of the copy places has Adobe 7.0, can print and bind it (spiral maybe) for me. Printing 200+ pages at the office is pushing my luck.

[lace] Our name
Dear everybody -- LACI, ALGA, ALMS, ALCA, ALO -- all those names are just terrible. I mean, they are awful. If we cannot just have LACE (yes, LACE, all by itself), let's stick to IOLI and get on with our lace lives. There are other and better ways to attract new members. Several of us will be telling you, shortly, about our recent experience of this.

RE: [lace] Our name
I have no idea what Aurelia's recent experience is, BUT... I have to chime in and agree in principle. I am absolutely ambivalent regarding a change in the name of IOLI, *and* I am a loyal IOLI member. I can bearly imagine how totally disinterested our many patient sisters (and few brothers) in other countries must be feeling over this protracted and narcissistic exchange of ...what???... unimaginative words which create clever acronyms??? I, for one, am acronym-phobic. If the words don't say it, for heaven's sake don't force them for the sake of a cute acronym. I detest them. IOLI is fine, because it isn't cute. It doesn't represent anything except the International Old Lacers, Inc. And if you want to change it, then fine again. But having spent more than a week on the subject on this list, could you please arrange to take your creative rapsodizing to Denver and continue it at a meeting while you're there!! I realize I'm going out on a limb here when I suggest that the rest of us would like to get back to business as usual on Arachne... even if it happens to be quiet. And yes, I'm going to be in Denver too, but the name change is not a subject that I plan to devote any time on - unless it happens to be on the agenda of the Annual Meeting.

[lace] RE: Galician Lace Catalog (Spain) Adobe
I have Adobe 6 and that reads it no worries. To download it, I right mouse clicked and save target as .. rather than open it and try to save. It may be that the server was overworked at times and this was when you got the dud download. I suggest try it as you are going to bed (late night time in Europe) and leave it downloading while their server is at it quietest. -- No virus found in this outgoing message.

[lace-chat] Why Men are Happier
Why Men Are Just Happier People-- What do you expect from such simple creatures? Your last name stays put. The garage is all yours. Wedding plans take care of themselves. Chocolate is just another snack. You can be President. You can never be pregnant. You can wear a white T-shirt to a water park. You can wear NO shirt to a water park. Car mechanics tell you the truth. The world is your urinal. You never have to drive to another gas station restroom because this one is just too icky. You don't have to stop and think of which way to turn a nut on a bolt. Same work, more pay. Wrinkles add character. Wedding dress - $5000. Tux rental -$100. People never stare at your chest when you're talking to them. The ooccasional well-rendered belch is practically expected. New shoes don't cut, blister, or mangle your feet. One mood all the time. Phone conversations are over in 30 seconds flat. You know stuff about tanks. A five-day vacation requires only one suitcase. You can open all your own jars. You get extra credit for the slightest act of thoughtfulness. If someone forgets to invite you, he or she can still be your friend. Your underwear is $8.95 for a three-pack. Three pairs of shoes are more than enough. You almost never have strap problems in public. You are unable to see wrinkles in your clothes. Everything on your face stays its original color. The same hairstyle lasts for years, maybe decades. You only have to shave your face and neck. You can play with toys all your life. Your belly usually hides your big hips. One wallet and one pair of shoes one color for all seasons. You can wear shorts no matter how your legs look. You can do your nails with a pocket knife. You have freedom of choice concerning growing a mustache. You can do Christmas shopping for 25 relatives on December 24 in 25 minutes. No wonder men are happier!

[lace-chat] :) Fwd: Italian Bread
Got that one a while back and it's fresh (to me) as, well, Italian bread? g I'm trying to divest myself of excess jokes, prior to my departure for CA (Tuesday mid-day) From: L.F. Two old guys, one 80 and one 87, were sitting on their usual park bench one morning. The 87 year old had just finished his morning jog and wasn't even short of breath. The 80 year old was amazed at his friend's stamina and asked him what he did to have so much energy. The 87 year old said; Well, I eat Italian bread every day. It keeps your energy level high and you'll have great stamina with the ladies. So, on the way home, the 80 year old stopped at the bakery. As he was looking around, the lady clerk asked if he needed any help. He said, Do you have any Italian bread? She said, Yes, there's a whole shelf of it. Would you like some? He said, I want 5 loaves. She said, My goodness, 5 loaves...don't you think by the time you get to the 5th loaf it'll be hard? He replied, Holy Jesus, Mary and Joseph... Everybody in the world knows about this Italian bread thing but ME! -- Tamara P Duvallhttp://t-n-lace.net/ Lexington, Virginia, USA (Formerly of Warsaw, Poland) To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace-chat [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
