ØMQ is a messaging system, or "message-oriented middleware" if you will. It is used in environments as diverse as financial services, game development, embedded systems, academic research, and aerospace.
Messaging systems work basically as instant messaging for applications. An application decides to communicate an event to another application (or multiple applications), it assembles the data to be sent, hits the "send" button, and the messaging system takes care of the rest. Unlike instant messaging, though, messaging systems have no GUI and assume no human beings at the endpoints capable of intelligent intervention when something goes wrong. Messaging systems thus have to be both fault-tolerant and much faster than common instant messaging.
ØMQ was originally conceived as an ultra-fast messaging system for stock trading and so the focus was on extreme optimization. The first year of the project was spent devising benchmarking methodology and trying to define an architecture that was as efficient as possible.
Later on, approximately in the second year of development, the focus shifted to providing a generic system for building distributed applications and supporting arbitrary messaging patterns, various transport mechanisms, arbitrary language bindings, etc.
During the third year, the focus was mainly on improving usability and flattening the learning curve. We adopted the BSD Sockets API, tried to clean up the semantics of individual messaging patterns, and so on.
This article will give insight into how the three goals above translated into the internal architecture of ØMQ, and provide some tips for those who are struggling with the same problems.
Since its third year, ØMQ has outgrown its codebase; there is an initiative to standardize the wire protocols it uses, and an experimental implementation of a ØMQ-like messaging system inside the Linux kernel, etc. These topics are not covered here. However, you can check online resources for further details.
Application vs. Library
ØMQ is a library, not a messaging server. It took us several years working on the AMQP protocol, a financial industry attempt to standardize the wire protocol for business messaging writing a reference implementation for it and participating in several large-scale projects heavily based on messaging technology to realize that there's something wrong with the classic client/server model of a smart messaging server (broker) and dumb messaging clients.
Our primary concern was with the performance: If there's a server in the middle, each message has to pass the network twice (from the sender to the broker and from the broker to the receiver) inducing a penalty in terms of both latency and throughput. Moreover, if all the messages are passed through the broker, at some point, the server is bound to become the bottleneck.
A secondary concern was related to large-scale deployments: when the deployment crosses organizational boundaries the concept of a central authority managing the whole message flow doesn't apply anymore. No company is willing to cede control to a server in a different company due to trade secrets and legal liability. The result in practice is that there's one messaging server per company, with hand-written bridges to connect it to messaging systems in other companies. The whole ecosystem is thus heavily fragmented, and maintaining a large number of bridges for every company involved doesn't make the situation better. To solve this problem, we need a fully distributed architecture, an architecture where every component can be possibly governed by a different business entity. Given that the unit of management in server-based architecture is the server, we can solve the problem by installing a separate server for each component. In such a case we can further optimize the design by making the server and the component share the same processes. What we end up with is a messaging library.
ØMQ was started when we got an idea about how to make messaging work without a central server. It required turning the whole concept of messaging upside down and replacing the model of an autonomous centralized store of messages in the center of the network with a "smart endpoint, dumb network" architecture based on the end-to-end principle. The technical consequence of that decision was that ØMQ, from the very beginning, was a library, not an application.
We've been able to prove that this architecture is both more efficient (lower latency, higher throughput) and more flexible (it's easy to build arbitrary complex topologies instead of being tied to classic hub-and-spoke model) than standard approaches.
One of the unintended consequences was that opting for the library model improved the usability of the product. Over and over again users express their happiness about the fact that they don't have to install and manage a stand-alone messaging server. It turns out that not having a server is a preferred option as it cuts operational cost (no need to have a messaging server admin) and improves time-to-market (no need to negotiate the need to run the server with the client, the management or the operations team).
The lesson learned is that when starting a new project, you should opt for the library design if at all possible. It's pretty easy to create an application from a library by invoking it from a trivial program; however, it's almost impossible to create a library from an existing executable. A library offers much more flexibility to the users, at the same time sparing them non-trivial administrative effort.
Global State
Global variables don't play well with libraries. A library may be loaded several times in the process but even then there's only a single set of global variables. Figure 1 shows a ØMQ library being used from two different and independent libraries. The application then uses both of those libraries.
Figure 1: ØMQ being used by different libraries.
When such a situation occurs, both instances of ØMQ access the same variables, resulting in race conditions, strange failures and undefined behavior. To prevent this problem, the ØMQ library has no global variables. Instead, a user of the library is responsible for creating the global state explicitly. The object containing the global state is called context. While from the user's perspective context looks more or less like a pool of worker threads, from ØMQ's perspective it's just an object to store any global state that we happen to need. In the picture above, libA would have its own context and libB would have its own as well. There would be no way for one of them to break or subvert the other one.
The lesson here is pretty obvious: Don't use global state in libraries. If you do, the library is likely to break when it happens to be instantiated twice in the same process.
When ØMQ was started, its primary goal was to optimize performance. Performance of messaging systems is expressed using two metrics: throughput how many messages can be passed during a given amount of time; and latency how long it takes for a message to get from one endpoint to the other.
Which metric should we focus on? What's the relationship between the two? Isn't it obvious? Run the test, divide the overall time of the test by number of messages passed and what you get is latency. Divide the number of messages by time and what you get is throughput. In other words, latency is the inverse value of throughput. Trivial, right?
Instead of starting coding straight away we spent some weeks investigating the performance metrics in detail and we found out that the relationship between throughput and latency is much more subtle than that, and often the metrics are quite counter-intuitive.
Imagine A sending messages to B (see Figure 2). The overall time of the test is 6 seconds. There are 5 messages passed. Therefore, the throughput is 0.83 messages/sec (5/6) and the latency is 1.2 sec (6/5), right?
Figure 2: Sending messages from A to B.
Have a look at the diagram again. It takes a different time for each message to get from A to B: 2 sec, 2.5 sec, 3 sec, 3.5 sec, 4 sec. The average is 3 seconds, which is pretty far away from our original calculation of 1.2 second. This example shows the misconceptions people are intuitively inclined to make about performance metrics.
Now have a look at the throughput. The overall time of the test is 6 seconds. However, at A it takes just 2 seconds to send all the messages. From A's perspective the throughput is 2.5 msgs/sec (5/2). At B it takes 4 seconds to receive all messages. So from B's perspective, the throughput is 1.25 msgs/sec (5/4). Neither of these numbers matches our original calculation of 1.2 msgs/sec.
To make a long story short, latency and throughput are two different metrics; that much is obvious. The important thing is to understand the difference between the two and their relationship. Latency can be measured only between two different points in the system; there is no such thing as latency at point A. Each message has its own latency. You can average the latencies of multiple messages; however, there's no such thing as latency of a stream of messages.
Throughput, on the other hand, can be measured only at a single point of the system. There's a throughput at the sender, there's a throughput at the receiver, there's a throughput at any intermediate point between the two, but there's no such thing as overall throughput of the whole system. And throughput make sense only for a set of messages; there's no such thing as throughput of a single message.
As for the relationship between throughput and latency, it turns out there really is a relationship; however, the formula involves integrals and we won't discuss it here. For more information, read the literature on queuing theory. There are many more pitfalls in benchmarking the messaging systems that we won't go further into. The stress should rather be placed on the lesson learned: Make sure you understand the problem you are solving. Even a problem as simple as "make it fast" can take lot of work to understand properly. What's more, if you don't understand the problem, you are likely to build implicit assumptions and popular myths into your code, making the solution either flawed or at least much more complex or much less useful than it could possibly be.
Critical Path
We discovered during the optimization process that three factors have a crucial impact on performance:
- Number of memory allocations
- Number of system calls
- Concurrency model
However, not every memory allocation or every system call has the same effect on performance. The performance we are interested in messaging systems is the number of messages we can transfer between two endpoints during a given amount of time. Alternatively, we may be interested in how long it takes for a message to get from one endpoint to another.
However, given that ØMQ is designed for scenarios with long-lived connections, the time it takes to establish a connection or the time needed to handle a connection error is basically irrelevant. These events happen very rarely and so their impact on overall performance is negligible.
The part of a codebase that gets used very frequently, over and over again, is called the critical path; optimization should focus on the critical path.
Let's have a look at an example: ØMQ is not extremely optimized with respect to memory allocations. For example, when manipulating strings, it often allocates a new string for each intermediate phase of the transformation. However, if we look strictly at the critical path the actual message passing we'll find out that it uses almost no memory allocations. If messages are small, it's just one memory allocation per 256 messages (these messages are held in a single large allocated memory chunk). If, in addition, the stream of messages is steady, without huge traffic peaks, the number of memory allocations on the critical path drops to zero (the allocated memory chunks are not returned to the system, but reused repeatedly).
Lesson learned: Optimize where it makes difference. Optimizing pieces of code that are not on the critical path is wasted effort.

Best Christmas Gifts For Wife Price No Objection Meaning
Best Christmas Gifts For Wife Price No Objection Meaning : Our Wallets Are All Made From Premium Leather
Best Christmas Gifts For Wife Price No Objection Meaning
Best Christmas Gifts For Wife Price No Objection Meaning
Best Christmas Gifts For Wife Price No Objection Meaning,The wallet is an indispensable object for both men and women, but while for the former it is more of a useful accessory because, unlike women, men do not carry bags and therefore the wallet is essential to carry with self-credit cards, money, documents , etc., especially for women beyond the practical function, the wallet is a tool that allows expressing one's own style and personality.
Best Christmas Gifts For Wife Price No Objection Meaning,If originally the wallets were mainly made of leather or leather and contained only two compartments for coins and banknotes, with the advent of credit cards and new materials this object has evolved and today the stylists and companies introduce into continuation on the market of new models, made in various shapes, materials, colors, sizes and prices to satisfy everyone's tastes. Choosing the most suitable portfolio for us is a rather difficult undertaking, because it depends on our lifestyle, on the use we want to make of this accessory, on the objects that we must put back and, for women, also on the bag in which it comes afterwards. transported.
Best Christmas Gifts For Wife Price No Objection Meaning Features to consider
To identify the most suitable portfolio for our needs it is important to evaluate:
Best Christmas Gifts For Wife Price No Objection Meaning the material
Various types of materials are available on the market and it is important to choose the one that comes closest to our style so that you do not get tired with the passage of time,Best Christmas Gifts For Wife Price No Objection Meaning , but that it is also of good quality and durable. Those who prefer to stay on the classic can opt for a leather wallet, a true timeless "Which is also durable and guarantees good durability, while those who want a more modern style can opt for synthetic materials such as nylon, polyester, denim, aluminum (which protects credit cards from demagnetization), etc. For those who do not want to give up luxury, then there are more refined and precious materials, and therefore also more expensive, such as crocodile and python skin for men and silk for women. The material must also be chosen in relation to one's daily life and habits: for example, for those who occupy positions of a certain level and must adopt an elegant style, a leather wallet is recommended, while young people can opt for cheap and colorful synthetic materials;
the dimensions
and the shape,Best Christmas Gifts For Wife Price No Objection Meaning, which must be related to the space available to transport it. The men's models are generally smaller and thin because they must be able to fit in the pocket of the trousers or jacket, while the women's ones can have various sizes, from the larger ones, which can hold money, cards, credit cards and documents, to the smaller disposable ones, that is destined to keep only credit cards or coins. Some models for women are like small handbags with spaces for storing keys or mobile phones and are designed for practical women who want to travel light;
, or the ability to meet our needs: for example,Best Christmas Gifts For Wife Price No Objection Meaning if you have many cards and loyalty cards, it is important to have a wallet with compartments suitable for containing them, while if you travel abroad it is advisable to opt for a wallet allows you to conveniently store your passport and the most important documents or choose a more practical and comfortable mini-wallet ;
The choice of color is very subjective and today there are so many colors available, from the most classic and elegant solid colors to the gaudy fantasies, that it is not difficult to find the one that comes closest to our tastes and that allows us to better express our personality. Women who want to be fashionable can also buy more than one wallet to use on various occasions and match the bag;
the closure
While the men's wallet usually folds back on itself but does not present a real closure other than the tear-off one in the sportier models,Best Christmas Gifts For Wife Price No Objection Meaning, the women's wallet can be equipped with hinges, clips, elastic bands, hooks, magnets, etc. The only care in this case is to choose a fastener that is practical and fast and to check its quality (check for example if the zip slides well and if the hooks are resistant, etc.);
the price
Best Christmas Gifts For Wife Price No Objection Meaning,The price depends primarily on the material it is made of: the finest leather and materials are obviously more expensive than synthetic ones. In addition to choosing according to the budget, you need to evaluate the type of investment you want: if you are looking for a portfolio that lasts a long time then it is good to spend a little more for a quality product, while if you like to change the portfolio often it is not worth spending the money an excessive sum.
The models for men
Let's see in detail which are the most common models of men's wallets:
It is the most widespread classic model and consists of two foldable sections. It is available in leather and other fabrics and is very practical because it contains many compartments for cash, coins and cards and is not bulky. Being very thin and small it is comfortable to carry in the pocket of trousers and jacket.
Like the bi-fold, this wallet is made up of three equal-sized sections that offer more space to store documents, photos, etc. but they also make the wallet slightly bulkier than the bi-fold.
Sport model
Perfect for young people, for those who practice sports or for those who are always on the move, the sports models are made of nylon or polyester, waterproof and resistant materials, and are equipped with a Velcro or zip closure. They are available in various colors.
How to clean a leather wallet
1. Introduction
Some accessories are used daily, perhaps on several occasions in a single day, and this happens in a way with the wallets: while having care of them and treating them with due respect, it is practically impossible to keep them always in perfect condition as just purchased. Over time, contact with hands, pockets and various surfaces can easily leave visible traces of dirt and grease. How to clean a leather wallet without risking altering its original features? In the guide you are about to read, we will provide some useful suggestions.
2. needed
bread gum, cleansing milk, some cotton wool, a brush with stiff bristles, a waterproofing spray for leather, a soft cloth.
3. Prepare the necessary material
For a perfect cleaning of a leather wallet, it is not certain that you should buy particularly expensive products: often you can in fact get excellent results with a minimum expense and with a bit of good will. So, start preparing: a bread gum (do not use hard and colored gums: they tend to leave marks that are difficult to remove), a small sponge, a spoonful of cleansing milk, some cotton wool, a brush with stiff bristles, a tablespoon of vinegar white, a waterproofing spray for leather, a soft cloth.
4. Clean the interior
Empty the wallet and wipe the inside with a sponge dampened with water and vinegar. Clean the pockets with the brush to remove traces of dust and dirt. Now proceed by cleaning the external surfaces: clean the edges and the seams with the bread rubber. If you notice any grease, try to eliminate it by moistening a cloth with a little water and vinegar and gently rubbing the greasy part. Now put a few drops of cleansing milk on a cotton pad and carefully clean the entire outer surface of the wallet, insisting on any halos. Repeat the operation with clean cotton: this step is not only useful to clean the skin but also to revive it and make it soft.
Women's models
As for female wallets, Best Christmas Gifts For Wife Price No Objection Meaning , there are so many models, because over time this object has become a fundamental fashion accessory. Among the most famous models there are:
Clutch wallet
The trend is increasingly to combine the wallet and the bag in a single product, perfect especially for the evening, but also for women who do not want to carry the bag. The Pichette wallets can be of various shapes, with clip or clutch closure and can be equipped with a shoulder strap or a wrist strap.
Envelope wallet
They are the classic wallets with the frontal closure whose shape resembles that of a letter envelope.
Bellows or accordion wallet
Best Christmas Gifts For Wife Price No Objection Meaning, It is the typical women's wallet with a zipper closure and lots of compartments for banknotes and a larger one for coins.
Unisex models
Some wallet models are unisex and suitable for both men and women, including:
Wrist wallet
This model is thin and fits any person's wrist. It has several compartments that allow you to always have the essentials with you without having too much space.
Travel wallet
This kind of wallet is perfect for travelers because it allows you to keep your passport and all the necessary cards and tickets. They are equipped with a strap to be able to fasten the wallet around the neck and not risk being robbed.
Super slim wallet
These are small and thin models that contain cash and some cards or cards; they are ideal for those who do not have to carry many objects with them.
Wallet with check holder
They are made both horizontally and vertically, generally they are made of leather and have a pocket to keep the checkbook. They are generally more elongated than classic models.

Quiltmaker 100 Blocks Blog Tour
I'm so excited to share the news that one of my original block designs is featured in the newest issue of Quiltmaker's 100 Blocks from today's top designers magazine! I've been a loyal customer of this magazine since its first issue because of the many unique and interesting block designs that it offers. Not only would each block make for a spectacular quilt on its own, but the magazine is perfect for someone like me who participates in a lot of online quilting bees and block swaps, because it really broadens your options for fun & interesting quilt block designs.
It completely made my day when I saw the cover of the magazine because, not only is my block included inside, but it even appears on the cover!! If you look at the image above, it's the first block in the second row of 4 blocks (right under the colorful "x"-looking block.)
Here's a better photo of my block:
It's a pretty simple block to construct but creates a really cool graphic effect, especially when you start to play with light and dark tones to create contrast and shadow-like effects. I also love that it can be oriented either vertically or horizontally, and pieced in rows or columns. It's also a great block to show off some favorite prints. (And for those of you who think it looks a little familiar ... it was the process of designing this block that inspired my Ziggity Mug Rug -- a nod to how versatile this design can be.)
For my block, I used an interesting Asian-inspired line called Olympus by Clothworks. You can't really tell from the picture, but many of these prints also have a lot of texture to them, with raised stitches and interesting weaves. I'm currently making a full quilt inspired by my block -- stay tuned for that soon.
To celebrate my first (but hopefully not last) entry into Quiltmaker's 100 Blocks magazine, I'm sending a copy of issue 4 to one Quilt Dad reader. Simply leave a comment on this post and let me know if you've purchased an earlier issue of 100 Blocks and where / how you've used the block patterns. I'm looking forward to seeing some inspirational photos!

Love your new block design John! I have purchased two of the previous Quiltmaker's magazines and used them for inspiration on some mini quilts I've made.ReplyDelete
Love the texture of those fabrics! Can't wait to see the quilt design. Nice job, QD.ReplyDelete
I got last years version. Loved those blocks.. but sure would love to see this years blocks too.ReplyDelete
I've never purchased a 100 Blocks magazine, but I'd love to get started :)ReplyDelete
I haven't purchased one of these in the past, but seeing the blocks and hearing the stories behind them is inspiring and I think I'm going to need to buy one!ReplyDelete
I have all 3 of the previous magazines I am making sampler quilts from all of these. Your block will make a great addition to the 4th one. thank you so much...ReplyDelete
Neat block--can't wait to see it made up into a quilt! I got the last issue of 100 blocks--love it!--and made several of the blocks in it for a sampler quilt I'm working on. Thanks for the chance to win a copy of the newest issue!ReplyDelete
These make great references full of new ideas!ReplyDelete
I've never purchased this magazine but now I want to. I'm newer to quilting and would love and challenge and inspiration.ReplyDelete
I have all three of the previous 100 Blocks. I've used them in my local bee's block of the month project. I also use them when teaching quilt techniques/blocks to new quilters learning new techniques. I love the creativity and variety within the magazines. Thanks of the opportunity to win Volume 4!ReplyDelete
i have not used this, but looks super exciting! Congrats on your block!ReplyDelete
i've never seen a 100 blocks magazine... but i can only imagine how fun it would be!ReplyDelete
Love your block! I have so enjoyed the previous issues of 100 Blocks. And this one looks just as great! Thanks for the giveaway.ReplyDelete
Love your block. I was lucky enough to win a copy of Vol2., but somehow missed out on Volume 3. Don't want to miss out this time. Thanks for the chance to win!ReplyDelete
congrats on having your block chosen. I bought vol. 2 online version.ReplyDelete
Congratulations on having your entry accepted AND making it on the cover! That's pretty exciting. Your block looks like even beginners can try with exceptional results. Thanks!ReplyDelete
Thanks for the chance to win! I won a copy of Volume 3 and also have Volume 2. I've mixed and matched some of the blocks for a wall-hanging (still in progress) and then I've used another block from one to serve as an alternating block for a very large-scale print I bought (also still in progress). It takes me a while to go through the magazines and decide what I want to do with them ... I wish there were a site I could see them all repeated in a quilt! Your block would look really need alternated in directions for a very scrappy look!ReplyDelete
how fun - congrats on your block being part of this book! I haven't bought one of these before because I am still somewhat new to quilting, but it is something I have put on my list to purchase.ReplyDelete
I like that so much! I mostly make quilts for charity and I'm always looking for new blocks with high dark-light contrast and that one is a GREAT one to add to my must-have list! Well done.ReplyDelete
Congratulations! Love the 'scrappy' look! And what a great use for jelly rolls this would be!!ReplyDelete
I would love a chance to win this magazine. It's great to be able to see lots of quiltmakers and their blocks all in one place. So much inspiration.ReplyDelete

I'm a collector of the magazine! I'm always amazed at the talent! I've only made a few blocks and each turned into pillows or framed.ReplyDelete
Oh Wow! Congrats on getting into the magazine!!!! Because you made it in for the first time, you have given me hope that I could do something like this someday. :-)ReplyDelete
I have Vol 2 & 3. I am planning to get Vol 4 if I don't win one. :-) I am also going to purchase Vol 1 from the EQ Boutique soon.
i have not purchased any of the previous issues, but i'm planning to get teh back issues if i can! wow, great use of fabrics. sometimes it's best just to let the fabrics speak simply and elegantly. that's what your block does! great job.ReplyDelete
I have not got any of the previous issues. Love your blocks. Hugs JofridReplyDelete
Lovely block! I got the volume 3 and love it very much! But didn't have time to finish something also I did sew the sheepblock from Paula ,even twice.ReplyDelete

Your infamous Ziggity Mug Rug - that's why I fell in love with your block. Now, I need Quiltmaker's 100 Blocks, Volume 4. I have Volume 3. Just love it. And so the Quiltmakers Blocks Magazine will have you hooked. Good Job, John. Way to go.ReplyDelete
Sandi T.
I have the three previous issues and use them for inspiration when making blocks for swaps.ReplyDelete
I have all the previous issues and they are marked with lots of sticky notes for blocks I want to make! I've only actually made a handful of them -- mostly just to try them or to put in table runners. So many plans, so little time!ReplyDelete
I've never purchased 100 Blocks, but I may have to start! Love your block design, I might have to use it in one of my upcoming quilts!ReplyDelete

I have the first 3 volumes of Quilmakers 100 Blocks. I'm looking forward to holding Volume 4! They are my go-to books for inspiration.ReplyDelete
Candy Soehren at firstname.lastname@example.com
I hadn't heard of it until your blog (I'm newer to the quilting world outside my own home). They look like awesome blocks though! firstname.lastname@example.com
I have all copies of the magazine The inspirations is so wonderful. I drool over all of them. Can't wait until I can own my own copy.ReplyDelete
Congratulations! You must be doing a major Happy Dance!!! I don't blame you, I would be as well. I would love to win a signed volume 4 of this magazine!ReplyDelete
I have purchased Vol. 2 and won Vol. 3 !! I haven't had a chance to use any of the block patterns yet. :(ReplyDelete
I have never purchased this magazine, simply because I have never seen it in the store! It looks fun!ReplyDelete
I have all the issues of the magazine and I just love all the inspiration from them.ReplyDelete
I am sorry to say i only used the last magazine for eye candy. i get most of my magazines at the local quilt shop. email@example.com

I have the 1st which was downloaded and I have printed it and bound it. I haven't used the blocks per se but have benefitted from the knowledge inspiration and exposure to so many gifted and accomplished quilters and continue to follow and absorb as much as possible from not just you but all the quilting community, lovely folk who are so willing to foster new quilters in their growth.ReplyDelete
Great job Quilt Dad! Not too many men would admit to being into quilting! I have all 3 issues of "100 Blocks" & expect to add volume 4 one way or another. I recently participated in a row robin in my quilt guild & I only used blocks from those 3 issues for my contributions. And I got so many people asking where I had found such unique blocks!ReplyDelete
Congrats for being in the cover!!!, great job!!!!, I have the past editions, it's really handy... I made some blocks in pillows and table runners :)ReplyDelete
woo hoo~congrats to you!ReplyDelete
I have yet to purchase this mag.
Lovely lovely.
Thanks for the chance!
Cool block--I'm thinking my stash of black & whites would be fun to use.ReplyDelete
I have all of the previous issues and this is my 4th Blog hop! I hope to win a copy Blog hopping, like I did two times before. Fingers are crossed.ReplyDelete
I have never purchased the magazine. However, after doing this blog hop I will be purchasing this one. Hopefully I will win one!ReplyDelete
I also have all of the previous issues but, sadly, I had to purchase mine. Lucky Mary!! I have so many scraps i envision your block with scrappy fabrics but still keeping the light/dark values.ReplyDelete
I have all the previous issues and just love each and every block in every issue. I really like making a single block and building a sampler quilt. It's been so much fun wondering around the blog-isphere looking at all the wonderful blocks! Thanks for the chance to win!ReplyDelete
No photos yet but I've referred to last year's issue for star blocks for the Quilts of Valor blocks I'm been making. It really is a nice resource when I need ideas.ReplyDelete
I have issues 2 & 3. Not sure how I missed the first one...but I think I'm going to have to get it digitally. Congrats on being included AND making the cover! I'm a frequent visitor to your site.ReplyDelete
an interesting block with a lot of possibilities!ReplyDelete
I've never seen any of these magazines for sale in the UK!!
I have all the previous copies and have use all of them in one project or another. They are a great source of inspiration when I'm challenged to create a "new" project.ReplyDelete
I haven't purchased a previous issue. Congratulations on being on the cover! I love architecture and would use your block vertically. Thanks for the giveaway!ReplyDelete
Congrats to you! I've purchased the last 2 and so far have used them just for inspiration. However, I was lucky enough to win 4 blocks from the last issue, so will be using those patterns to incorporate those blocks into a quilt.ReplyDelete
Thanks for the opportunity!
I have purchased the last two magazines and have used the blocks for inspiration in designing my own blocks. I enjoy the pictures of the finished quilts and layouts, too.ReplyDelete
I've never purchased a copy of this mag - nor have I seen it in stores. I'd love to win one!! Great block, John. I have the chisel die for my GO! Baby and I'm gonna use it!ReplyDelete
I've never seen this magazine, but now I'm very interested! Next time I see one, I'll certainly pick it up--it would make those VQB's so much easier!ReplyDelete
Thanks for the giveaway!

I love the block and the versatility of it. The fabrics chosen instantly reminded me of a collection of men's ties. Hmmm. Have to think about that and how to use it. I have all three prior editions of 100 Blocks and use them all the time for inspiration and finding just the right block or concept to take me to my next quilt. Congratulations!ReplyDelete
No I've never purchased a copy of the magazine. Only heard of this last year and by the time I found out, I could not find a copy locally. I live in a small town and so we don't get alot of copies of any magazine. I have been a loyal subscriber to Quilmaker's regular magazine and have made many of their quilts. Would love to win a copy. ThanksReplyDelete
I tested your block for vol 4, I use what ever scrappy I have on the table at the time. I was happy to see that this has so many poss for using up favorite fabric or going scrappy. Love your choice of materials- good job! cwReplyDelete
I love your block and this magazine is new to me, but now I think I'm going to have to keep an eye out, so much inspiration!ReplyDelete

I have the other 3 issues of 100 Blocks, and look forward to all the fun blocks in the issue - love the graphic possibilities of your block and look forward to more from you in future issues.ReplyDelete
Wow, not only was your block accepted - it's on THE COVER!!! No I have not ever seen the magazine - but boy, oh boy would I like to have this one!!ReplyDelete
I am so sad to say that I have not gotten any past issues of the magazine, and now I wish I had all of them..but I would love to start with #4.ReplyDelete
I buy a copy each year. If I win one, I would give it to a quilting buddy to enjoy. So many awesome patterns. Yours is wonderful!ReplyDelete

Bravo to you and your hobby! My husband doesn't quilt but is very supportive of my hobby. He can put colors together better then I and he takes me to all the quilt shops.ReplyDelete
Congrats on being in the publication! I've never gotten an issue...in fact, I didn't know it existed until earlier this week, can you believe it?ReplyDelete
I think that's so cool, that you are a dad that quilts! Congrats on having your block published. I have the first 3 volumes, these are a great reference. They are perfect for whipping up a small gift for someone.ReplyDelete
I like this block a lot. I don' t know where I've been, but this campaign by blog is my first awareness of this mag.ReplyDelete
How exciting to have your block in the 100! congrats! I won a copy of last years magazine and made a few of the blocks into pillows as gifts! lots of fun and inspiration in this magazine. thanks!ReplyDelete
- Kaye M. email@example.com 9, 2011 at 1:34 PM
I'm happy that your block was published in Quiltmaker's 100, hurray for you! I bought the magazine that came out last spring(Vol. 3) I used an idea from it for a color wheel project that my small group did this fall.ReplyDelete
Thanks for the cute idea. I haven't purchased any previous issue but won the last one.ReplyDelete
I have Vol 2 and 3 of the magazine and just love the blocks.ReplyDelete
I have Volumes 1, 2, and 3. I have a cute pillow made from one of the blocks. I am anxious to get Volume 4.ReplyDelete
Actually I've won a copy of each from the blog tours each time. I love them to read over and over and to make or be inspired by for different projects. No pictures to share at this time, I really need to get better at that.ReplyDelete
Congratulations on making the cover of the newest 100 Blocks magazine - love your block. I have the first issue on CD & the other 2 in print. I've used some blocks in quilts I've designed in EQ but haven't sewn them yet. Thanks for the chance to win.ReplyDelete
Congrats on making the cover! Neat block that I can see has lots of options.ReplyDelete
Ive got all the issues and have used the blocks for a number of block exchanges and round robins, also make 2 from the last issue for the Guilds Presidents thank you blocks. This issue is looking really great! Thanks for the chance.

I haven't had the pleasure of owning any of the earlier issues!ReplyDelete
I bought my first one last year and love it! Haven't made any of the blocks though! I love your block.ReplyDelete
I have the last edition of the magazine, but I haven't actually made any of the blocks yet. Love yours - congratulations on making the mag.ReplyDelete
I must have been under a rock. I didn't know about this magazine but you can bet I'm looking for it now. Congrats on your place in the group.ReplyDelete
I have purchased all 3 issues of the magazine and love them all. Have only made a couple of the blocks - and only for use as mug rugs, so only made one of each block. I really like your new block - it's simple, graphic and very modern looking, yet has so many possibilities.ReplyDelete
I have not purchased a previous edition of the magazine. I see so much inspiration in the blocks that I have seen. If I don't win, this is an issue that I will purchase. Thanks for the chance to win.ReplyDelete
I have not purchased any of the magazines...yet. lolReplyDelete
I have not bought any of the magazines, but I must admit to having paged through them on the store shelves.ReplyDelete
Linda in Southern Illinois
I have Volume 3 and saw some of the quilts from that volume hanging in the reception area of Creative Media's office in Golden, CO.ReplyDelete
This is a great block, John! Looks so simple. I never bought one of the magazines, but I have read two of them. I've also tried in past years to win one, LOL!ReplyDelete
I have volumes 2 and 3, and have used them for inspiration for challenge quilts for my guild. I would love to see this new issue.ReplyDelete
- Sherry CaldwellNovember 9, 2011 at 3:29 PM
Love the block. Can't wait.ReplyDelete
Congratulations on making THE 100!! I'd love to win a copy. And to think I "knew" you back when you just started all this blogging. You are becoming a household name anymore with all the quilters. How fun for you.ReplyDelete
I have Volume 3, and go to it for inspiration and motivation. Just seeing the different creative choices makes me consider what my tastes and talents are.ReplyDelete
Love your block! I purchased Vol 2 out of boredom while waiting around in an airport. And I'm sew glad I did. What a treat! Fell in love with Snowman Farm (block 103 on page 23) and made 3 minis for xmas presents that year. So of course I had to purchase Vol 3 when it came out (after I didn't win one!) I have all my favorites marked but haven't made any yet although I have my eye on My Easter Dress (block 217, page34) for a special little girl I know. Can't wait for Vol 4 to be in the stores Of course MAYBE I'll be lucky enuf to win one first! Thanks for the chance.ReplyDelete
Congrats for be featured! I love your block because the ziggity mug rug was the starting point of all my quilting :) I never bought an issue of 100 blocks as it isn't sold in germany - so I absolutely need this special one!!! Thanks for the chance anyway!ReplyDelete
I have purchased several previous issues of 100 quilt blocks. I love these issues. There are so many possiblities.ReplyDelete
Congratulations !!! Way to GO... I never purchased a copy of that magazine . I honestly have never even seen it . Would love to have a copy . Especially one with your block in it . Very special.ReplyDelete
This block makes me smile! I have purchase volumes 1-3. I used one of the blocks in my Patchwork squared quilt!ReplyDelete
Haven't brought or even heard of this book until just recently. But I'm just getting into quilting so that's not really much of a surprise. Do like your block - the graphic look is really very modern. Congrats!ReplyDelete
Congrats! That's awesome! I haven't used this particular version of 100 blocks, but I have another blocks book that is my go-to when I coming up with an idea for a new quilt.ReplyDelete
I've not seen a previous copy of the magazine while I'm shopping. (I don't get out much!) So I haven't purchased any before now. But from what I've seen, this one is definitely worth looking for.ReplyDelete
I thoroughly enjoy your blog. I visit often. I do not have a copy of this magazine, it looks wonderful and I would love a copy! I know you are super excited to have your block in this magazine. Sometime you will have to tell us how you balance a day job with quilting.ReplyDelete
Wow, I love the fabrics you chose. They are different than a lot of orientals you find, more authentic.ReplyDelete
Would love the 100 Blocks!
Cathy B
I have all three volumes in paper copy. They are so inspirational. Hmmm I can put this design in this project along with this design and have the perfect kids quilt. Hmmm this designer has had a block design in each volume and they all have the same theme. Accessories project? Eggs anyone? Anxious to see if you follow the pattern... Your design has me thinking of mens silk ties. That red shakes it up a bit! Thanks for a chance to win. SandiReplyDelete
I collect these issues, so when I get Vol. 4, I will have a complete set. They are so inspirational, thumbing through the pages. A good way to spend an afternoon.ReplyDelete
Big Congrats on Cover! Love these mags.ReplyDelete

Congratulations on being on the cover! I've never had one of these magazines, but it looks awesome, like it would have wonderful creative ideas in it!ReplyDelete
Congratulations on getting your block in this issue. I love the 100 block issues. I was lucky enough to win a copy of Vol. 3. Thanks for a chance to win a copy of Vol. 4.ReplyDelete
I have purchased one issue and won another issue. The patterns are on my shelf fermenting though. :)ReplyDelete
I have all three of the previous issues and would not part with them for any reason!! LOVE them! I've made several gifts fro blocks and intend to make more-when I can get one of these vol 4 issues in my hands!!!ReplyDelete
I haven't purchased a 100-block issue yet. But I'd love to...I love the snowflake in Vol 2 ! I love new inspiration and sometimes I just love to admire the photos and creativity of everyone involved! Thanks for a chance to win!ReplyDelete
I like your block a lot, because of the geometric design of it. It's very balanced, yet unique! Congrats on publishing!
Beautiful block! I used issue #1 for blocks in a scrappy warm tone batik and cream quilt. It provided an incredible variety.ReplyDelete
I have to tell you as soon as I saw your block I knew what I was going to make! I have had my Dad's ties (rip) for years and I think I will make your block. Thank you!ReplyDelete
I have two and three. Funny I've never actually made one of the blocks, but when I'm stuck with ideas that's one of the first things I grab. They really get the inspiration flowing. Thanks.ReplyDelete
Congratulations John! Your block is really pretty. I have issue number 3 only. I bought at Jo Ann on impulse. I have made 1 block and plan to use it for a Christmas challenge.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousNovember 9, 2011 at 6:15 PM
Don't think I have any of the previous issues-but could be wrong. May just find one if I go rooting around in my magazine stacks!! Like your block, John, as I am more pulled to the "new" modern look lately! Great addition to my scrap quilt squares collection!ReplyDelete
Bev (firstname.lastname@example.com)
Hey...that's what inspired a table topper I made several months ago...your mug rug and here it is on the cover of a magazine!:) Congrats...oh...I have never purchased one...but I would sure love to win one!:)ReplyDelete
Great looking block. Congratulations on having your block on the cover as well. I have bought Quiltmaker before and I have only one of the 100 Blocks issue. I have not made any of the blocks YET, but some are on the list.ReplyDelete
Thanks for the giveaway and a chance to win.
Great looking block and on the cover to boot. I have all three past issues that I had to buy. I haven't won one yet. Maybe this will be my year!ReplyDelete
I won a copy of the first issue of 100 Blocks, and I am still in the process of completing a Christmas sampler quilt that utilizes some of the patterns in that issue. All the blocks have been made for more than a year...I started the sashing last Christmas, and now my goal is to have the top finished by this Christmas! The quilting will have to wait until the New Year!ReplyDelete
I have a copy of Volume 3, but have not made any of the blocks due to life getting in the way since spring. There are quite a few marked to try though, Does that count? When I saw the cover I really was intrigued by what turns out to be your block. Now that, I would make now since it is a variety of fabrics.ReplyDelete
I have not purchased a copy of any of the previous magazines. Following the blog posts makes me really desire a this one, I would love to win a copy.ReplyDelete
Yes, I do have the other 100 blocks magazines. I won the first issue on the blog hop and purchased the others in the bookstore.ReplyDelete
It is great to see a man's block chosen...congratulations!
I've never bought any of the 100 blocks magazines, though have considered it several times. Here's to hoping I win this one!ReplyDelete
Congratulations! I have all three, but haven't made any of the blocks yet. I love flipping through them for inspiration though!ReplyDelete
Sandy A
Last year was the first I knew about the 100 Blocks, and I have the magazine. Havent made anything exactly as in the magazine yet, but it did inspire me to tweak one of the blocks to make it my own...ReplyDelete
I haven't actually ever heard of 100 blocks - but I am definitely going to check it out!ReplyDelete
I have Vol #3 and am trying to get some of the blocks done now. I am a new quilter and I just love having so many blocks to choose from. I love how your block will make the zig-zag with the right choice of fabrics and placement. CongratsReplyDelete
I have vol #2 and vol#3. I have them so dog-eared you would think my 4 yr old son had been at them. But no, lil ol' me is making a bucket list. I'm a novice quilter, so my bucket is empty but my list is ginomous. Congrats on your first of many blocks to be included, I'm sure!!ReplyDelete
unfortunately, i do not have one copy of any of the 100 blocks editions ... but i've marked a site that one can get digi copies! so, i will have some soon. thanx for the opportunity to win one!ReplyDelete
i'm one of your followers.
It reminds me of a quilt made with ties, with the fabrics you used, love it.ReplyDelete
I like designs that can use scraps and changed by fabrics and colors.
I have all 3 editions and have used blocks to make small quilts for children etc. Thanks for the chance, DianneReplyDelete
I've purchased all 3 previous editions and have used them for inspiration while I was in the 3 x 6 Flicker Bee. Congrats on having a block in Issue 4!ReplyDelete
Congrats on having your block in this latest issue of 100 blocks. Thanks for the chance to win.ReplyDelete
Love your block. I combined your Block-a-palooza blocks, the P2 QAL blocks, and the Pearl block from the last issue of 100 quilts to make a larger quilt top. I'm hand quilting it now which is slow going for me. Thanks for the chance to win this issue of QM 100 Blocks as would like to make this one too.ReplyDelete
Congratulations on having your block published.ReplyDelete
Great quilt John and HUGE congrats for being included in Vol 4.ReplyDelete
I have purchased all but the first issue although I may actually have purchased the electronic version of issue 1 but I haven't checked. I purchased the other issues because I was starting to become interested in learning to quilt and knew they were issues I needed to buy before they were all gone and that I'd have them for a time when I was doing actual quilting. I just finished my first quilting class in the past couple of months so I have not done anything from the magazines. I've only done the pieced sampler table runner from my class to date.
What a cool block. Looks like it would have fun secondary patterns in quilt top.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousNovember 9, 2011 at 10:13 PM
I've never seen 100 Blocks. I love your block though and would like to see more!ReplyDelete
Love your block ~ lots of possibilities ~ I can even see using it in a border.ReplyDelete
Congratulations and thanks for sharing.
Pretty block, the color combinations are really nice. Thank you for the giveaway.ReplyDelete
I for sure have issue 3, don't know right now about the other two. Have too many books and magazines to count, and keep track of. Haven't made anything with it yet, but have seen a lot of ideas that I will use in a quilt coming up.ReplyDelete
John, I love your block, I'm looking forward to this magazine, as soon as I can find one!ReplyDelete
New to quilting, but am looking forward to getting this magazine..maybe I;ll even look for the older issues. My dad grew up in Tarboro, NC...welcome to the South!ReplyDelete
I have the previous year's book. Have not made anything from it because I am trying to catch up on my UFOs. Congratulations on your first block. I know many others will follow.ReplyDelete
I don't have an issue yet but would love this to be my first.ReplyDelete
I've never purchased one. Looks like I'm missing out on a lot, though.ReplyDelete
I'm a fairly new quilter so I don't have any of them.ReplyDelete
Congrats on your block. I have missed an issue but hope to win this oneReplyDelete
Congratulations on being included and appearing on the cover of Quiltmaker's 100 Blocks!ReplyDelete
I'm new to quilting but am completely hooked after making a tumbler cushion so I don't have any of the issues. Would be great to win one for inspiration.
I have the 2nd and 3rd 100 Blocks - I'd love to get my hands on a hard copy of Volume 1 to complete the set.ReplyDelete
I have issues 2 and 3. I have used some of the blocks in a sampler quilt I am making. I can't wait to see no. 4!ReplyDelete
I loved your mug rug and I love your block. Great job!ReplyDelete
I have all of the issues and love them. Congratulations on being included and being on the cover, I'm so impressed!ReplyDelete
I have volume 2 and am still working through the blocks. Pieced blocks are my favorite kind and the zippity mug rug is in production this week!ReplyDelete
My mother gave me one once, can't say that I've ever actually used it. Of course, I'm only on quilt #2, so hopefully as I get more adept I'll crack it open for inspiration.ReplyDelete
Congrats on having your block in the mag! It's a great block!!ReplyDelete
I don't have any of the quiltmakers 100 blocks magazines. I'm new to quilting so this is the first I've heard of them. I like your block! Congrats for being in the magazine! :)ReplyDelete
What a great block! You did a great job! Congrats on being in the magazine!ReplyDelete
I haven't purchased the magazine before, but I love the inspiration and have already seen quite a few blocks on this tour that I want to dive in and make, including yours! Thanks for the giveaway!ReplyDelete
I have every issue and used some blocks to create a fabric challenge item for our quilt show......it was a great way to try paper piecing!ReplyDelete
thanks so much for the chance to win a copy.
I purchased all of the earlier editions of the magazine. I'd love to win one, one of these years. I use them mostly for inspiration, but it would be fun to try a quilt using all the blocks.ReplyDelete
I have purchased all 3 of the earlier issues and I love to keep them by my easy chair to search for inspiration!ReplyDelete
I have them all! so inspirational -- not enough hours in the day for all that I want to make.ReplyDelete
I need this one, too!
It would look cool to have a quilt with no sashing made of this block. Thank you!ReplyDelete
I have never purchased one of these issues, but they seem like they'd be a fabulous resource!ReplyDelete
Congrats on your block being selected!ReplyDelete
I have volume 2 & 3, And Volume 1 in digital version :D
Thanks for the chance!
So cool - you're a Cover Dad! I love that block and I have the mug rug bookmarked... Cngrats!ReplyDelete

If you want to avoid the stress of Christmas shopping in crowded malls, yet still end up with the perfect, unique gifts for your loved ones, you've come to the right place. This Christmas, give the gifts of clean water and clean air with Filters Fast.
You may be thinking – "filters?" Okay so maybe getting a six-pack of 3M Filtrete Ultra Allergen Air Filters is a bit like getting socks for Christmas. It doesn't sound all that exciting on the surface to receive a water filter or air filter as a gift. But there are a few "hidden gems" on our website that maybe you hadn't thought of giving as gifts this holiday season. I can even guarantee we have something appropriate for all ages. Wrap up any one of these filters in shiny wrapping paper, and I'm willing to bet you'll get a better reaction than you'd get if you wrapped up a pair of socks. And if you wait until the last minute like most people, socks may be the only gifts left…
Sprite Baby Shower Water Filter
You didn't believe me when I said we had something appropriate for all ages, did you? The Sprite Baby Shower may not mean much to your infant or toddler right now, but they'll be thanking you later on in life when they are old enough to understand that you've helped save them from a lifetime of the respiratory ailments, dry skin, and itchy scalp that are caused by prolonged exposure to chlorine in the shower. This shower water filter attaches easily to the kitchen sink faucet to make bathing your infant in clean, chlorine-free water even easier. Later, when they're "all grown up", you can detach the shower arm and reattach it to any existing shower head in your home.
Crane Ultrasonic Cool Mist Humidifiers
Filters Fast carries these in several designs, great for nurseries or children's rooms; choose between Sponge Bob, Elephant, Frog or Hello Kitty. As with the Sprite Baby Shower, your child will be thanking you later for saving them from chapped lips, nose bleeds and dry skin, as well as cold and flu symptoms associated with low humidity.
Vapur Anti-Bottle Water Bottle
The Vapur Bottle is a foldable, collapsable, reusable water bottle (or should we say, pouch that holds water?). Filters Fast currently carries it in six fun colors that your teen is sure to love. It easily attaches to any backpack or purse and may be folded to fit in your pocket when empty. Send your child off to school with one of these, and they'll be the envy of all the other kids. After all, reusable bottles are way cooler than plastic water bottles these days.
Watersafe Science Project Water Test Kit
Don't worry, adults – we do have gifts for you as well, and we'll be getting to those soon. But here's another one for the kids. Filters Fast carries the Watersafe Science Project Kit in two sizes: 4-pack and 10-pack, allowing you to test multiple water samples at once. The kit is easy enough for elementary students, yet scientifically sophisticated enough for high school science projects or experiments. It even comes with a suggested project outline and data sheet. Results are easily transferred to posters or charts for student presentations. If you want to give an educational gift to a child you know, I don't think it gets any better than this.
Katadyn MyBottle Water Purifiers
Vapur bottles are great for the young (and young-at-heart) but if you're looking for something more sophisticated and high tech, these reusable bottles come with built-in filtration technology that will make just about any water source safe within minutes. Dip this bottle into a nearby lake or stream while hiking, or use it to filter tap water that has been declared unsafe, and I'm willing to bet you'd be okay. The Katadyn MyBottle Water Purifier filters 99.99 percent of waterborne viruses, bacteria, and protozoa, bringing you safe water, even in the most extreme emergencies. We even listed Katadyn among our top picks for emergency filters that will help you survive the apocalypse. If you know someone who loves hiking but doesn't want to haul 20 plastic bottles of water through the wilderness, this is a great gift. You can't lose with Katadyn water filters.
Kleen Kanteen Reusable Water Bottles
These don't have built-in filters, but they are some of the most popular reusable bottles out there. With the Kleen Kanteen Wide-Mouth insulated bottle, you can add ice or even fruit slices to your beverage. It also keeps hot beverages like coffee hot for hours, making it a great gift for coffee lovers. The wide mouth opening makes it easy to clean, and because it's composed of stainless steel, it doesn't retain the taste or odor of any food or beverage. Even the inside of the caps are made of stainless steel, so that no harmful plastic ever touches your water.
Brita Pitchers come in a variety of sizes, styles and colors. These water filter pitchers significantly reduce chlorine and other impurities in your drinking water. They fit conveniently inside the refrigerator, providing you with cold, clear, filtered water whenever you need it and are great for entertaining guests. Most Brita pitchers come with a built-in filter life indicator that lets you know when it's time to change your filter. These are some of the most popular water filters on the market. You can't go wrong when you give a Brita water pitcher filter as a Christmas gift.
"Dog It" and "Cat It" Fresh and Clear Pet Water Fountains
That's right folks. We even have the perfect gifts for your pets. These pet water fountains constantly recirculate water to provide cool, clear, filtered water for your dog or cat. A special foam portion collects debris such as food, hair, dirt, fur, sediment and other large particles, while the activated carbon filter reduces impurities like chlorine from your pet's drinking water. Pamper your pet this holiday season, with a Hagen Fresh and Clear Pet Water Fountain!

Dear Dave,
Our son is graduating from high school next spring. We�ve saved cash to pay for his first year of college, and we have enough in mutual funds to pay for another semester. When should we pull out the money to use for his education?
Dear Denise,
I wouldn�t touch the money until right before you write the checks. However, I don�t want you to follow my advice just because I said so. My mutual funds have made a little more than 16 percent this year. If they stay at that pace, or if they make just 10 percent during the first part of 2013, I�d want it to just sit there a while longer. Why not let the power of compound interest do its thing and make you as much money as possible?
The biggest question is what are you going to do for cash after the first three semesters? Your son needs to make sure he�s working summers, and maybe even part-time during school, in order to fuel his education. And neither of you should borrow money to make it happen. You guys have gotten him off to a great start. So if he does his part there�s no reason for either of you to go into debt for his college degree!
Stop, emergency ahead!
Dear Dave,
If someone is following your plan, and they experience a health crisis, should they stop putting money into their debt snowball?
Dear Dave,
Absolutely! When you�re stuck in the middle of an emergency you always push the pause button on your Total Money Makeover and save as much as you can.
Think of it this way. Cash is your umbrella when it rains, and you never know just how bad the storm will be or how long it will last. Even if you have great health insurance, you�re likely to end up paying a chunk out of pocket in situations like this. That�s why it�s important to have a big pile of cash on hand.
Remember, things like this are often just a bump in the road. They can be expensive, but taking care of important issues doesn�t have to mean giving up on taking control of your finances. Take care of immediate issues with yourself or your family first. Then, the come back when things are better and pick up where you left off on your Total Money Makeover!

Got leftover Halloween candy? Make cookies.
If you think Reese's Peanut Butter Cups are good straight out of the wrapper, then wait until you taste them baked into these big, bumpy, nutty, chocolate chunk cookies.
Here's what you need to do:
- Print this recipe.
- Ransack your kids' Halloween bags for 6 Reese's Peanut Butter Cups.
- If you don't have kids, then go the supermarket and buy a bag of Reese's Peanut Butter Cups. It's not as much fun as #2 but at least you might catch them on sale.
- Bake the cookies, turning on the oven light to watch them swell.
- Eat a still warm, melty cookie and wash it down with a glass of cold milk while you reminisce about Halloweens past.
- Sigh in satisfaction. There are still 23 cookies left to eat.
Reese's Peanut Butter Cup and Chocolate Chunk Cookies
Makes 24 cookies
Print recipe only here.
8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup dark brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chunks
6 snack size Reese's candies (chilled then diced)
1/2 cup coarsely chopped unsalted peanuts
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, beat butter and sugars, then beat in the eggs until smooth. Mix flour, baking soda, and salt in a small bowl; add to the large bowl, and beat until just combined. Stir in the chocolate chunks, Reese's candy, and peanuts.
Drop 2 tablespoons of cookie dough 2 inches apart (as they will spread) on the parchment-lined baking sheets.
Bake cookies for 13-15 minutes, or until firm and golden brown around the edges. Transfer to a rack and cool for 15 minutes.
To store cookies, layer between pieces of waxed paper to prevent sticking and place in an air-tight container.

Highlights from LastPass 3.0 include:
- Revamped user experience and user interface
- Field icon menus for easy access to logins and LastPass tools
- A Shared Family Folder for up to 5 users
- Expanded Shared Folder features for LastPass Enterprise
- A revamped LastPass for Applications
- Secure Note history, to track changes to your notes
- Windows 8.1 support
- and more
New Design, New Experience
In LastPass 3.0, we've changed the way LastPass notifies and interacts with you. LastPass focuses more on the website's fields, so there are less steps to get what you need. We're also phasing out the notification bars at the top of the browser.
A clickable icon now appears on the website's fields. The LastPass field icon is dynamic, showing you options that match what you would want to do with that field. If it's a login form, you'll see your matching logins for that site.
If you don't have any logins stored for that site, LastPass will ask if you want to save it:
If it's a "create password" field, you'll see the Password Generator:
If it's a shopping form, you'll see your Profiles:
The field icon menu expands so you can quickly access all the main LastPass features:
The LastPass browser addon menu has been simplified, and we've added immediate access to search, so you can quickly find the sites and notes you need:
The vault has also been updated to reflect the new look and feel:
Improved Mobile Experience
The Premium mobile apps for Android and iOS now have a "browser-forward experience", meaning the browser is integrated with the vault for easy site searching and launching. The vault on both platforms is easily searchable, where you can add, edit, and update your passwords at a moment's notice.
The LastPass browser now has quicker access to your logins and Profiles. You can add sites easily, generate new passwords quickly, and enjoy a more seamless mobile experience overall.
LastPass Shared Family Folder
We've streamlined sharing for our users. LastPass Premium users can now use a Shared Family Folder with up to 5 family members to manage and access joint accounts. Each LastPass user can be added to the Shared Family Folder, and the logins or notes can then be dragged-and-dropped into the Shared Folder.
Updates are then kept in sync across all users sharing the folder. See our full article in the user manual for how to get started; only the user creating the folder needs to have LastPass Premium.
Updates for LastPass Enterprise
LastPass Enterprise administrators can now give Shared Folder access to non-Enterprise LastPass users. Up to 3, non-Enterprise users can be given access to any Enterprise Shared Folder. The new functionality is particularly useful for those who may need to give contractors or part-time employees temporary access to sites. LastPass for Applications has also received a number of improvements.
We're Thrilled to Reach Another Milestone!
We are so thrilled to share LastPass 3.0 with our community. We hope you enjoy the clean design and less intrusive experience. As always, we owe a big "thank you" to our community for your continued support. We're committed to the ongoing improvement of our service, and strive to provide a great experience for our users. Let us know what you think in the comments below!
The LastPass Team
How do I disable the "ticker" in the icon?
From the LastPass Icon > Preferences > Notifications, uncheck the "Show Matching Sites Count in Toolbar" option.
How do I move my matching sites list back to the main icon menu?
In the LastPass Icon > Preferences > Advanced, select the Show matching sites in top level menu" option.
Can I go back to the old notification bars?
First, be sure that you're clicking the icons that now appear in your username and password fields to try to enter your data. If you've tested it and you don't like clicking the field icons, you can enable the old notification bars in the LastPass Icon > Preferences > Notifications, and disable the field icons from there. We'd appreciate specific feedback so we can keep fine-tuning our new release.

4 Financial New Year's Resolutions for 2018
Every one of us has areas in life in which we plan to improve, with some people desiring change so much that 45 percent of Americans create resolutions each New Year according to the University of Scranton's newest research study. Within these lists of wanted change, often sits new finance goals and aspirations. These wishes frequently derive from finance regrets of the year past, or just getting older and wiser and understanding your finances, savings, or retirement plan isn't where you want them to be. If you have been contemplating financial New Year's resolutions for 2018, consider adding a couple of the following suggestions to your list:
1. Manage your paycheck properly-- It is easy to want to delight in a treat yourself when your paycheck hits your bank account, but this year, make a promise to yourself to manage your paycheck wisely. When making money, be sure to pay monthly obligations including mortgage/rent, car payments, insurance, and other debts. One of your initial steps should also be creating a monthly budget for yourself, which will give you a clear picture of how much money you can realistically save each month, and how much can go into your spending fund. By paying debts off when getting paid (and before their due date), you will improve your credit utilization, your credit score, and lower your balances without getting any late fees or penalties.Making sure to put enough money aside for your savings and investments as part of your budgeted plan will help you out in the future. Once you have your monthly budget in line, it's best to review how to invest your money with a financial planner or advisor.
2. Buckle down about bank card debt-- Let 2018 be the year that you make a serious dent in paying for any credit card debt you may be carrying. According to NerdWallet, the average American household will owed over $15,600 in credit card debt in 2017. Create a plan to repay at least 20 percent of your debt by the end of the year via making a budget, using a credit card calculator, and if you have decent credit, transferring balances to cards that have a 0 percent lending rates. Review statements and due dates for each card that is carrying debt, and create a payment calendar or automate to ensure payments are made on schedule.
3. Create or add to your reserve-- As 2018 kicks off, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority states that over 50 percent of Americans do not have an emergency fund to carry them if a medical crisis or loss of employment occurs. While expert advice varies on how much money should be in your rainy-day fund, the average sits you can try this out somewhere around 12 to 18 months of your wages after taxes. If starting a rainy day fund is something new for you, start it with the expectation that it will take time to build, and set small milestones for yourself. If you already have a rainy-day fund, make a goal in 2018 to add an extra month's worth of savings to it by the end of the year.
4. Evaluate your earnings-- While a good deal of financial advice focuses on how much you are saving and spending, one aspect some people forget to consider is their earnings. Review your career and consider the possibility of finding a higher paying job, moving somewhere that has a lower cost of living, or if returning to school click for info and earning more credentials could potentially increase your income in time.
Other financial goals for the New Year should include getting a full credit report and reviewing information for each and every credit bureau; clearing up any collection accounts and/or disputing any errors; getting retirement accounts in order or creating retirement savings accounts through a financial advisor; increase the percentage of income for saving; tracking expenses; and creating a realistic budget that you can stick to.
According to a study by Fidelity Investments ��, some of the top Financial Resolutions include saving more, paying for debt, and spending less, with 62% of Millennials planning to increase their retirement Read Full Article savings by one percent, at a minimum. While the majority of people in the study still have long-term savings goals as their priority, an increased number of respondents have focused more on short-term savings, compared to the couple years prior. Saving for an emergency fund is one of the top new year's resolutions this year, especially with those concerned about rising health care costs, natural disasters and unexpected expenses.
If you have never created a budget before, or are starting from scratch when it concerns retirement planning, let a skilled financial advisor share tips and strategies that will help you succeed in your goals. To learn more, reach out to Matt Logan at www.Mattloganinc.com

Coinsurance is the percentage of the Medicare-approved expenses that you pay. Part A inpatient deductible is the amount you pay for Medicare Part A hospitalization services, including semi-private room and board, general nursing and other services and supplies during the first 60 days of a hospital stay covered by Medicare. Part B annual deductible is the amount you pay for health care outside of the hospital before your plan starts to pay.
If you are enrolled in Medicare Part A and B (Original Medicare), Medigap plans can help fill the coverage gaps in Medicare Part A and Part B. Medigap plans are sold by private insurance companies and are designed to assist you with out-of-pocket costs (e.g. deductibles, copays and coinsurance) not covered by Parts A and B. These plans are available in all 50 states and can vary in premiums and enrollment eligibility. Medigap plans are standardized; however, all of the standardized plans may not be available in your area.
In Riverside Texas 77367, all Medicare supplement standardized plans are offered to qualified individuals under the age of 65 and/or to Medicare-qualified individuals due to disability or end-stage renal disease. In some states, a limited selection of Medicare supplement standardized plans is available to such individuals.
High Deductible F pays the same as Plan F and requires payment of your costs (coinsurance, copayments, deductibles) for Medicare-approved expenses up to the current calendar year deductible amount before the policy pays any benefits. The Medicare deductible changes each year, per Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) guidelines.
Read 5 things you need to know about how retiree insurance works with Medicare. If you're retired, have Medicare and have group health plan coverage from a former employer, generally, Medicare pays first. Your retiree coverage pays second.
Humana Medicare Supplement Insurance plans In most states, policies are standardized into plans labeled A through N. All policies cover basic benefits, but each has additional benefits that vary by plan. Medicare Supplement insurance plans A through G provide benefits at higher premiums with limited out-of-pocket costs. Plans K through N are cost-sharing plans offering similar benefits at lower premiums with greater out-of-pocket costs. Some companies may offer additional innovative benefits.
Finally, if you are new to Medicare, don't miss our post on the 4 simple steps for new Medicare beneficiaries. Once you've got a basic idea of how Original Medicare works, it will be easier to learn about Medigap Plan options for yourself.
Blue Cross Blue Shield provides Medicare Supplement insurance and personalized, affordable health plans to more than 106 million Americans, equal to nearly one out of every three health insurance consumers across the country. Around 95 percent of hospitals, specialists and doctors contract with Blue Cross Blue Shield companies, the highest percentage among health care insurers.
This information is not a complete description of benefits. Contact the plan for more information. Limitations, copayments and restrictions may apply. Benefits, premiums and/or member cost-share may change on January 1 of each year.
We evaluated 10 well-known Medicare supplement insurance plans, and after a careful review identified the eight best options for 2019. To draw our conclusions, we checked with customers in the market, reviewed data and consulted insurance experts. In summary, no one plan is best for all situations, so we recommend shopping around using a Medicare expert like United Medicare Advisors to compare plans. The eight Medicare supplement insurance companies we think are worth your consideration include: United Medicare Advisors, Cigna, Mutual of Omaha, Medicare.net, Humana, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Aetna and AARP by United Healthcare.

Medicare.gov provides tools that will allow you to compare plans in Riverside TX 77367 Walker county, but the decision is complicated. Insurance agent Graves recommends that you "work with a licensed insurance agent who can show you both Medicare Supplement Plans and Advantage Plans from multiple companies. Each type has its positives." The questions to cover, he says: "You need to understand the costs, doctor networks, coverage levels and maximum out-of-pocket for each. Enroll in what suits your situation best." Organizations such as Consumer Reports and the Medicare Rights Center can also help you research your decision.

There is no single reason we have made this decision, but one factor stands out above others: the weather. It's probably why most of the 15 million people who call Southern California home choose to live here. For Jeff and me, the second factor is one my food blog friends can appreciate: the produce.
Recently at our farmers' market Jeff and I chatted with Neil, a local farmer, who is originally from London. (We adore London, the site of our honeymoon.) Curious why an aesthete Brit would move to Southern California, I asked Neil why he stays here.
"The weather," he said. "I simply can't live without the sun, and it's sunny here all the time."
"But don't you miss London with its rich history and culture?" I asked.
"Look, London is great," he said, "but it's always grey and rainy. In fact, I believe summer fell on a Wednesday there last year."
Every week market-goers animatedly question him about his unique produce, which lately has included Jerusalem artichokes, Romanesco cauliflower, and crosne (Chinese artichokes, pictured below).
Neil, like so many farmers, is always informative; he teaches you about the produce and offers cooking tips and recipes as well.
One of our favorite vegetables from Weiser Family Farms is carrots. Not prosaic orange carrots, but kaleidoscope carrots with appealing names: Yellowstone (ripe lemon yellow), Purple Haze (rich, royal maroon), Nantes (deep pumpkin orange), and Atomic Red (firecracker red).
Unlike the orange "baby"carrots you find in the supermarket, these "mini" or "rainbow" carrots are about 5-6 inches long and come in a variety of colors. Though delicious raw, I prefer to roast them, allowing their natural sugars to caramelize. They are enhanced with any variety of fresh herbs; for this recipe, I used savory fresh thyme and chives which contrast beautifully with the carrots' sweetness.
I am submitting this post to the Meeta for this month's Monthly Mingle which features spring food.
I also wish to apologize to Tigerfish of the delicious Teczcape who tagged me a while back about a favorite food gem, to which I have not had the chance to reply. It's clear that Neil and Weiser Family Farms is a diamond among jewels and an easy choice for "favorite food gem."
Print recipe only here.
1 lb. mini carrots, peeled or unpeeled (any color/variety available to you)
1-2 tsp olive oil
2 tsp chopped fresh thyme
2 tsp chopped fresh chives
A generous sprinkling of salt and pepper
1 tsp olive oil
1 tsp fresh lemon juice
A couple of pinches of lemon zest
2 tsp honey
Salt and pepper, to taste
Additional chopped fresh thyme and chives for garnish
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Wash and peel carrots, and pat dry. (I actually leave the skin on since it is so tender and full of nutrients). Lay carrots on a baking sheet, and drizzle with olive oil. Add chives, thyme, and salt & pepper. Toss well to coat. Roast for about 15-20 min., turning once. The skins should slightly brown and blister.
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, and honey until well combined. Season with salt and pepper as needed.
Drizzle glaze over the cooked carrots, and garnish with a sprinkling of chopped fresh thyme and chives.
