Called ‘soccer’ by most Americans, yet better known as ‘football’ by the rest of the world, the game of endurance, precision, determination and pure adrenaline has been around for over 3000 years or more and it has no intention of leaving anytime soon. This is the game of football, and the FIFA World Cup is the goal every team is fighting for.

Dear Netfah,
I was interested in making one of those no-sew fleece throws for my Baltimore Ravens loving boyfriend who will be stationed overseas for yet another Superbowl Sunday, and was not so sure how many yards of material I needed. He is about 6 ft 2 and about 260 lbs. Any suggestions?

TOP 5 ways to make your fleece stay softer, longer.
In these economically uncertain times, our survival skills kick in and our natural response is to cut back, cut out and hold our breath while the nightly news reports on yet another mass lay off of jobs. We join the ever growing population of stressed out worker bees and me-myself-and-I clones in the competitive rat race called ‘life’, who find truth in the encouraged notion that it is survival of the fittest, with no rest for the weary. It is a delusional and vicious spiral of continuous fear based responses that chip away at the ‘reality’ of what it means to be alive.
With the harvest season underway, thoughts surrounding the upcoming winter months start creeping into our minds. Like the little foresters from the animal kingdom, we hunt, gather and stock pile goods and resources to carry us through those blustery days and never ending nights. Even out west, where the sun lingers just a little bit longer, farmers chuck corn stalks and bale hay to ensure enough heat and feed for their livestock as Mother Nature prepares the Earth for its ritual cleansing.
