Nic Maddinson is the Man of the Match for his 51 ball 68. No surprises in that decision. That brings an end to our coverage of the Big Bash semi-finals. The final is on the 28th. Do join us then. Hope you have enjoyed our coverage. The cricket though doesn't stop there. We have the final ODI between SA v SL going on, hop over to the other tab to follow that. Until next time, this is Srivathsa signing off on behalf of Sriram. Be well and take care. Amen!
Great effort by Lee who showed what a real character he is. With blood flowing out of his nose, he ran in and completed the over. Not many would have done that. Do look out for that image, which will surely appear on the front pages of many newspapers tomorrow. Not the first time he has done it though, remember the WC quarter-final at Motera in 2011? He sure is one unbelievable competitor. For me, today's semi-final will be only about Lee.
Top show by the Sixers. They were superb in the field and O'Keefe was special. They choked the Hurricanes innings and manage to book themselves a place in the Champions League. Phil Jaques used up a lot of balls at the start, though he tried to up the ante later on it left the lower order with too much to do. Rana tried his best to bring about a miracle, but it was too many for him. The failure of Shah and Birt was the turning point in the chase for the Hurricanes, who must be really disappointed.19.6
Moran to Naved-ul-Hasan, 2 runs, The Sixers are through! Naved-ul-Hasan flat bats it to wide long on. Only a couple taken. Brett Lee and Co. are all smiles. They meet the Scorchers on the 28th at Perth in the Big Bash final. A valiant effort from Rana has ended in a defeat.19.5

Moran to Jaques, 1 run, Jaques is struggling with his timing. Squirted to mid wicket. Jaques was in all sorts of strife. A direct hit at the bowlers end and he would've been gone.11.3

153 on this might not be enough for the Sixers, unless they bowl well. O'Keefe played a strange innings - unable to middle the ball and getting boundaries via edges. Maddinson was the only man to find some sort of fluency in his batting and once he was out, the Hurricanes bowled well at the death to keep the score down. Laughlin and Rana combined well to restrict the boundaries at the end. It should be a good chase, we will be back shortly to bring it to you. Do stay tuned.19.6
Naved-ul-Hasan to Dominic Thornely, leg byes, 1 run, how is that not-out? Naved-ul-Hasan can't believe it. Dominic Thornely shuffled a long way across and missed a middle and leg full ball.

Genetic disorders, such as
Down syndrome or
cystic fibrosis, and birth defects occur more
frequently in multiple pregnancies than in pregnancies with one fetus. A group
of deformities of the ankles and/or feet (clubfoot) is an example of a birth
defect seen more commonly in multiple pregnancy.
disorders and birth defects occur more frequently in identical fetuses than in
fraternal ones. In rare cases, problems occur when the genetic material
(chromosomes) in the fertilized egg does not split evenly. This can result in
severe mental or physical defects in one or more fetuses.
Conjoined (Siamese) twins occur rarely. This occurs when the egg does not
split completely and the fetuses are partially joined.
Most doctors advise pregnant women to be screened for genetic disorders.

Ernst H. Beutner, renowned dermatology researcher
Aug. 27, 1923 – June 10, 2013
Ernst Herman Beutner, renowned for his research in dermatology, died Monday in his Amherst home after a short illness. He was 89.
A professor emeritus of microbiology and dermatology at the University at Buffalo, he founded and directed an independent dermatological research laboratory that bears his name.
Born in Berlin, Germany, the son of a chemist and a pharmacologist, he came to the U.S. with his parents as an infant. Drafted into the Army the year after he began attending Pennsylvania State University, he was assigned as an interpreter for German prisoners of war.
Discharged in 1945, he returned to Penn State and developed an interest in bacteriology. After completing his doctorate in 1951 at the University of Pennsylvania, he took positions with Sias Labs in Brookline, Mass., and the Harvard School of Dental Medicine. He came to UB in 1956.
Working under Ernest Witebsky in the Department of Bacteriology and Immunology, he specialized in the use of immunofluorescence (IF) for studies of autoimmune diseases in animals and humans.
Dr. Beutner and his colleagues led eight international conferences on the standardization of IF, which resulted in mandated proficiency tests for antinuclear antibodies across the U.S.
In 1965, he and his associates discovered the role of autoimmunity in two skin diseases with high mortality rates, pemphigus and pemphigold.
This led to a 25-year collaboration with two Polish researchers, Tadeusz Chorzelski and Stephanie Jablonska, that resulted in 125 publications on autoimmune diseases of the skin and other connective tissues, including studies on Celiac disease, psoriasis and dermatitis herpetiformis, a chronic blistering skin condition.
He founded Beutner Labs in 1992 and served as director until retiring last year. The lab specializes in studies of blistering diseases, lupus and psoriasiform eruptions, and provides the only nationwide proficiency tests for pemphigus and pemphigold.
He received numerous honors, awards and fellowships from schools and medical societies around the world.
Survivors include his wife, Gloria P.; a son, Eric W.; and two daughters, Karen Banach and Jean.
Services will be held at 4 p.m. Saturday in Dietrich Funeral Home, 2480 Kensington Ave., Amherst.

October 15, 2008
The Honorable June St. Clair Atkinson
Superintendent of Public Instruction
North Carolina Department of Public Instruction
Education Building
301 North Wilmington Street
Raleigh, North Carolina 27601-2825
Dear Superintendent Atkinson:
I am writing in response to North Carolina's request to amend its state accountability plan under Title I of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 (ESEA), as amended by the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 (NCLB). Following discussions between the Department and your staff, you made certain changes to your state accountability plan, which are now included in the amended state accountability plan that North Carolina submitted to the Department on October 3, 2008. I am pleased to fully approve North Carolina's amended plan, which we will post on the Department's website. A summary of the amendments submitted for the 2007-08 school year is enclosed with this letter. As you know, any further requests to amend the North Carolina accountability plan must be submitted to the Department for review and approval as required by section 1111(f)(2) of Title I of the ESEA.
Please also be aware that approval of North Carolina's accountability plan for Title I, including the amendments approved herein, does not indicate that the plan complies with Federal civil rights requirements, including Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act, and requirements under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act.
I am confident that North Carolina will continue to hold schools and school districts accountable for the achievement of all students. I wish you well in your school improvement efforts. If you need any additional assistance in implementing the standards, assessment and accountability provisions of NCLB, please do not hesitate to contact Lauren Prehoda (firstname.lastname@example.com) or Sue Rigney (firstname.lastname@example.com) of my staff.
Kerri L. Briggs, Ph.D.

Amendments to North Carolina's Accountability Plan
The following is a summary of the state's amendment requests. Please refer to the Department's website (www.ed.gov/admins/lead/account/stateplans03/index.html) for North Carolina's complete accountability plan.Acceptable amendments
The following amendments are aligned with the statute and regulations.
Definition of a new school (Element 2.1)
Revision: North Carolina will use the following criteria for determining if a school is a "new school" and determining the adequate yearly progress (AYP) status for such schools:
- If two or more schools merge, the new school's AYP status will come from the school with the higher average daily membership; and
- If a school divides, the resulting schools will each take the status of the original school.
Small school review (Element 2.1)
Revision: For schools with fewer than two tested students, North Carolina will permit the LEA to provide a justification for the AYP designation, rather than North Carolina's current process of a site visit by a team of educators.
Including students with disabilities in AYP determinations (Element 5.3)
Revision: North Carolina will include in AYP determinations for the 2007-08 school year the scores of students with disabilities who are proficient or above (up to a 2.0 percent cap at the district and state levels) on the alternate assessment based on modified academic achievement standards (AA-MAAS).
Please note that approval of this amendment by the Department does not constitute approval of North Carolina's AA-MAAS or its modified academic achievement standards. In approving this amendment, the Department expresses no opinion on the sufficiency of either the AA-MAAS or North Carolina's modified academic achievement standards.
Science tests in grades 5, 8, and biology for high school students (Element 6.1)
Revision: North Carolina clarifies that it will administer science assessments in grades 5 and 8 and an end-of-course assessment in biology for high school students. Please note that approval of this amendment by the Department does not constitute approval of these assessments.
Starting points, annual measurable objectives, and intermediate goals (Elements 3.1, 3.2, and 3.2b)
Revision: North Carolina administered new high school assessments in reading/language arts and mathematics in 2006-07. As a result, on October 2, 2008, the State Board of Education set new starting points, intermediate goals, and annual measurable objectives (AMOs) based on the new assessments. The new AMOs are:
Starting points, AMOs, and intermediate goals for reading and mathematics in high school
Amendments that are not fully aligned with the statute and regulations
The following amendments do not comply with the statute or regulations. Therefore, they may not be included in North Carolina's accountability plan.
AYP determinations in 2007-08 (Element 3.2)
North Carolina is administering a new reading/language arts assessment in grades 3-8 in 2007-08. Due to standards-setting activities for the new assessments, reading/language arts assessment results will not be available prior to the start of the 2008-09 school year. The state proposed that the AYP determinations be based solely on the mathematics results in grades 3-8 and the high school reading/language arts and mathematics tests administered in 2007-08, rather than releasing AYP determinations based on mathematics results before the start of the school year and releasing AYP determinations based on the new reading/language arts results in October to avoid the confusion caused by multiple releases of AYP results. The Department cannot permit a state to base AYP determinations solely on the results of one subject's assessment. Doing so could lead to students not receiving needed interventions if a school's reading/language arts results indicate low performance.
Assessments for innovative schools (Element 6.1)
The Department cannot approve North Carolina's proposal to allow "innovative schools" (e.g., New School Project and Learn and Earn Schools) to use substitute assessments in place of the current North Carolina assessments for determining AYP unless those substitute assessments have been peer reviewed and determined to meet all of the ESEA requirements, including providing results comparable to North Carolina's approved general assessments. Section 1111(b)(1)(B) of the ESEA requires that "the academic standards…shall be the same academic standards that the state applies to all schools and children in the state." Section 1111(b)(2)(C) of the ESEA further requires that AYP be defined to "appl[y] the same high standards of academic achievement to all public elementary school and secondary school students in the state" and "measure…progress…based primarily on the academic assessments described in [1111(b)(3)]." The academic assessments required by section 1111(b)(3) of the ESEA must "enable all children to meet the state's challenging student academic achievement standards" and, among other things, be valid, reliable, and of high technical quality." If North Carolina wishes to pursue the use of substitute assessments, it must submit such assessments for peer review before they may be included in AYP determinations.
Graduation rate (Element 7.1)
The Department cannot approve North Carolina's proposal to use five years as the standard number of years for calculating cohort graduation rates for AYP purposes. This request is not permissible under section 1111(b)(2)(C)(vi) of the ESEA, which requires "graduation rates for public secondary school students (defined as the percentage of students who graduate from secondary school with a regular diploma in the standard number of years)." The Department does not believe that five years is the standard number of years for the vast majority of students to obtain a regular high school diploma.

- Players ranked the most: Roger Cedeno, 1993-96 (ranks 85, 38, 26, 57); Paul Konerko 1995-98 (ranks 45, 42, 11, 2); James Loney, 2003-05, 2007 (ranks 34, 42, 62, 44)
Then came the run of four consecutive Rookies of the Year -- a time in which the Dodgers had one of the strongest farm systems in baseball.
From 1998 to about 2003, the Dodgers' system was stripped by trades and busted prospects. Hell, the only guy to make the BA Top 100 in 1999 (catcher Angel Pena) and 2001 (outfielder Chin-Feng Chen). This was due to extremely poor top draft choices from 1995-2001, where the names David Yocum, Damian Rolls, Glenn Davis, Bubba Crosby, Jason Repko, Ben Diggins and Brian Pilkington all were present.
The system began to re-emerge under former General Manager Dan Evans and Scouting Director Logan White. The 2002 draft produced players like James Loney, Greg Miller, Jonathan Broxton and Russell Martin. The 2003 draft was also a solid effort, netting Chad Billingsley and Matt Kemp.
Once those guys graduated to the majors or dropped off the list due to poor performance and/or injuries, the Dodger system went back into a lull. Since Clayton Kershaw graduated in 2008, the Dodgers' system hasn't been well-regarded by prospect experts. It seems like the system is ticketed for another uptake in the not-to-distant-near-future.
Here's a year-by-year breakdown of the Dodgers on the BA Top 100 since 1990 (ranks in parenthesis)
Kiki Jones, RHP (6)
Jose Offerman, SS (10)
Tom Goodwin, OF (30)
Braulio Castillo, OF (34)
Eric Karros, 1B (84)
Jose Vizciano, 2B/SS (99)
Comments: Offerman, Goodwin and Vizciano saw time in the bigs. Karros was the 1992 Rookie of the Year and the L.A. Dodger all-time home run leader
Offerman (4)
Raul Mondesi, OF (14)
Henry Rodriguez, OF (29)
Jamie McAndrew, RHP (41)
Jones (41)
Dan Opperman, RHP (71)
Goodwin (74)
Karros (94)
Comments: Boy, they had high hopes for Offerman. Rodriguez made his name in Montreal.
Pedro Martinez, RHP (10)
Mondesi (21)
Comments: A future Hall-of-Famer and one of the better five-tool players of the 1990s who also won the 1994 ROY.
Mike Piazza, C (38)
Martinez (62)
Mondesi (82)
Roger Cedeno, OF (85)
Comments: Another HOF'er and my favorite player of all-time in Piazza. Martinez dropped and was later traded for 2B Delino DeShields.
Darren Dreifort, RHP (11)
Chan Ho Park, RHP (14)
Todd Hollandsworth, OF (27)
Cedeno (38)
Mondesi (51)
Rick Gorecki, RHP (75)
Comments: Dreifort was the No. 2 pick in the 1993 MLB Draft behind Alex Rodriguez. Oh what might have been. All these guys saw time in the bigs, and all but Gorecki saw significant time.
Hollandsworth (13)
Antonio Osuna, RHP (15)
Cedeno (26)
Paul Konerko, C/1B (45)
Park (41)
Karim Garcia, OF (98)
Comments: The first Garcia sighting and like the previous year, these guys all made the big leagues.
Garcia (7)
Park (18)
Konerko (42)
Hollandsworth (44)
Cedeno (57)
Wilton Guerrero, SS (61)
Comments: Garcia looked bound for superstardom and the Dodgers signed the wrong Guerrero, as Wilton is Vladimir's brother. Hollandsworth won the 1995 ROY.
Konerko (11)
Garcia (20)
Adrian Beltre, 3B (30)
Guerrero (49)
Onan Masaoka, LHP (95)
Comments: Believe it or not, I remember Masaoka (No. 40). Beltre makes his first appearance.
Konerko (2)
Beltre (3)
Mike Judd, RHP (59)
Dennis Reyes, LHP (91)
Comments: Talk about top-heavy. The Dodgers haven't had two guys in the top five since and didn't prior to 1998.
Angel Pena, C (41)
Comments: Pretty sad when you think about it.
2000 (23)
Chin-Feng Chen, OF (17)
Eric Gagne, RHP (49)
Comments: The Dodgers made a splash in the international market to bring in Chen and Gagne had potential.
2001 (28)
Chen (86)
Comments: Back to being sad.
2002 (25)
Kazuhisa Ishii, LHP (35)
Chen (64)
Ricardo Rodriguez, RHP (2002)
Comments: Ishii was a free agent from Japan and Rodriguez was later traded for RHP Paul Shuey.
2003 (14)
James Loney, 1B (34)
Jonathan Figueroa, LHP (35)
Edwin Jackson, RHP (99)
Comments: The turnaround begins. Unfortunately, Figueroa never made it (R.I.P.)
2004 (2)
Jackson (4)
Greg Miller, LHP (8)
Franklin Gutierrez, OF (31)
Loney (42)
Comments: Jackson came up in 2003 on his birthday and out-dueled Randy Johnson to earn this ranking. Gutierrez is now one of the best defensive outfielders in the majors and was traded for Milton Bradley prior to the '04 season. Miller had some of the greatest potential of any Dodger prospect.
2005 (2)
Joel Guzman, SS (5)
Chad Billingsley, RHP (19)
Jackson (30)
Loney (62)
Andy LaRoche, 3B (74)
Russell Martin, C (89)
Miller (100)
Comments: Another international signing in Guzman, which has been missing from the Dodgers' farm system in recent years. Billingsley makes his first appearance.
2006 (2)
Billingsley (7)
LaRoche (19)
Guzman (26)
Martin (42)
Scott Elbert, LHP (55)
Jonathan Broxton, RHP (63)
Blake DeWitt, 3B (82)
Andre Ethier, OF (89)
Matt Kemp, OF (96)
Comments: This was the year that had everyone talking. Despite having nine guys in the top 100, BA still ranked the Diamondbacks' overrated farm system ahead of the Dodgers'. Ethier was acquired in the Milton Bradley deal while the others were homegrown.
2007 (6)
LaRoche (19)
Clayton Kershaw, LHP (24)
Elbert (31)
Loney (44)
Comments: Graduations hurt the Dodgers' minor league depth. Grabbing Kershaw at No. 7 overall helped a lot.
2008 (6)
Kershaw (7)
LaRoche (31)
Chin-lung Hu, SS (55)
Elbert (88)
Comments: Kershaw established himself as one of the best pitching prospects in baseball and was on the fast track to stardom. Hu forced himself onto the list with a breakout 2007.
2009 (23)
Andrew Lambo, OF/1B (49)
James McDonald, RHP (56)
Comments: Again, graduations and poor decisions (like trading Carlos Santana for Casey Blake) hurt the depth. Ironically, these two were traded for Dotel in July 2010.
2010 (24)
Dee Gordon, SS (46)
Chris Withrow, RHP (48)
Comments: Withrow had a horrible 2010, which will likely keep him out of the 2011 Top 100, but Gordon should be firmly entrenched on the list.
The Dodgers' farm system has the ability to turn it around with high-potential prospects like Gordon, Rubby De La Rosa and Zach Lee. It'll be interesting to see how they develop of the next couple years and how the Dodgers plan to replenish the system. Getting back into the international market would be a great start.

NBC has been in the ratings doghouse for years. So how is it that the long-suffering network is en route to win the first week of the new TV season?
We've got two words for you: "The Voice."
The singing contest returned for its fifth cycle this week, fresh off its first Emmy win in the reality-competition category Sunday, and with judges Cee Lo Green and Christina Aguilera returning to their big red swivel chairs. And what a return -- Monday's season premiere shot up 17% compared with last year in the crucial adults 18 to 49 demographic and scored 15 million total viewers, according to Nielsen.
PHOTOS: Cable versus broadcast ratings
That encouraging result was enough to rouse TV reporters into pecking out "NBC is back!" stories. And network executives do have reason to be proud: Singing shows are a tapped-out format these days. Just look at ratings for "American Idol" and "The X Factor" for proof. For "Voice" to score a double-digit increase is remarkable.
But that's pretty much where NBC's amazing comeback ends (well, there's also the Sunday NFL game, but that's in a sports category by itself and a program that NBC has been airing for years).
The rest of the week looked a lot rockier for the peacock network. Sure, "Blacklist," the new crime thriller starring James Spader, won its 10 p.m. Monday time slot. But the competition included CBS' weakly reviewed "Hostages" and ABC's older-skewing "Castle." "Blacklist" kept only 74% of the "Voice's" young adult audience.
FALL TV 2013: Watch the trailers
On Wednesday, the Season 2 rollout of the sci-fi drama "Revolution" was a disaster, with the show losing more than half of its young adult audience compared with last year's series premiere. "Law & Order: SVU" rocketed nearly 30% in its season premiere compared with last year, but that's mainly because the premiere was marketed as a special two-hour event. That's not something NBC can do every week.
Thursday night fared even worse. NBC shelled out huge sums of promotion money on a one-hour rollout of "The Michael J. Fox Show," only to watch the sitcom starring the former "Family Ties" star fizzle to the worst-ever opening for a new fall Thursday comedy on the network.
NBC just announced it is renewing the contract of Bob Greenblatt, who oversees entertainment programming for the network. Some stories have suggested that this was a prescient move on the part of Comcast, the cable giant that owns the network.
But while "The Voice" and NFL games are indeed zooming along nicely, Greenblatt didn't put those shows on the air. He's still looking to claim his first big hit.
What did you think of NBC's first week? Watch any of these shows?

Renan Barao Puts Life at Risk, Makes $0.00
Dana White lobbed a financial insult at Renan Barao in the wake of UFC 177.
In case you've been away from the Internet for the last few days: The main event of UFC 177 was supposed to be bantamweight champion TJ Dillashaw vs. Renan Barao–an unnecessary rematch of their bout from May. Barao botched his weight cut, which caused him to fall and hit his head in the shower. He was rushed to the hospital and couldn't fight. Weight cutting is a serious health issue, but Dana White and the UFC apparently don't care.
Insults to the ego are one thing, insults to the wallet are another. The former is naught but the buzzing of flies, but the latter stings like Head and Shoulders in the eye. Renan Barao will probably get over Joe Rogan essentially calling him an embarrassment to himself and the UFC. But will Barao get over Dana White refusing to pay him his show money? Because that's what Dana White is doing. He's not paying Barao.Read More DIGG THIS

A little sax in the afternoon!
On Saturday November 3rd Dolphin Music, Huddersfield hosted a very well attended Brass & Woodwind event assisted by Julian Edwards from Yamaha (who gave advice in all things Brass & Woodwind) plus the multi-talented Simon Bates who provided live saxophone spots throughout the day and also held, 1-2-1's with some of our lucky customers when he passed on useful playing tips and techniques.
Jonathon Barrett from Huddersfield went one step further and following his lesson with Simon, treated himself to a brand new stylish Yamaha YAS82 Alto Saxophone.
Another lucky local customer, Pauline Crompton was delighted to win our prize draw, a £200 voucher which she will be able cash in against a new Yamaha Cornet.
'It was a pleasure to meet Simon and all the staff thank him and Julian for the support they gave that day. It's great to bring live music into the store offering entertainment as well as our usual high level of service and attractive prices' Said Manager David Courtney
Look out for more live events over the coming months, in fact there's another this weekend featuring the distinctive 'Italia' range of electric guitars. See the news story on our Huddersfield news page for more details.

A large reason for the halt of sales, says the memo, is Microsoft has a "new policy" of not supporting dual-OS products. Patrick Moorhead, principal analyst at Moor Insights and Strategy, told us in January that "Microsoft does not want [dual-OS devices] to happen," and now tells The Wall Street Journal that "Google wants all-Android devices" as well.
While I doubt many consumers are waiting for dual-boot devices, I personally would love to have a tablet that boots both Android and Windows 8. It's a shame that's not going to happen.
I do wonder why the policy is proclaimed to be "new". Microsoft has always fought dual-booting products tooth and nail.

Building a Better Community
Full-Time MBA students spent a day outside of the classroom, dedicating time to give back to the community
A group of Full-Time MBA students spent a day outside of the classroom to give back to the community via Habitat for Humanity. Students were divided between two houses, one in St. Paul and the other in North Minneapolis.
The Habitat build was organized by Carlson 4 Community (C4C), a student group that serves to promote volunteerism and community involvement both at the Carlson School and the surrounding community. C4C hosts multiple service projects throughout the year as well as an annual charity auction in February, their biggest event. This year's auction will be supporting Children's Lighthouse, an organization that is building children's hospice care--the first of its kind in the state.

2.No one will forget his legacy but he'll forever be known as the guy who won three superbowls and then tried to recapture his glory days but failed... miserably.
3. I'm talking about the D that was ranked 2 in the NFL behind pittsburgh in 04.
4.Patrick Ramsey played very, very well down the stretch in 04 throwing to chris cooley and an injured Coles.
5. Because he is always insistent on passing the ball more, that's why he went out and got a new QB and that's why he got new WRs. He wants his game centred around passing. Doing so is going to kill Portis' career. He needs to be fed, early and often, not as a second tier player.
6. When was your last trip to a conference championship, or for that matter past the divisonal round of the playoffs?
A team that's in between. Everything hinges on Chris Simms and Cadillac williams. If those two fire, then there's no stopping the team, even with an aging defense. imo they've got a two year window. I don't know if they'll use it though. They need some help with playmakers at WR and some youth in the front seven and secondary.

I've been teasing you with sneak peeks of this blanket for A Long Time. My blog informs me that I first showed this to you in August, which does seem to be early for thinking about Christmas presents but honestly, when you make things for presents, you do need to start thinking and making early.
There are a lot of "white with coloured circles" blankets around in blogland at the moment and they're so lovely. That's certainly where the inspiration came for this one, and I used my go-to granny square pattern from HERE to make the squares. The yarn was Stylecraft Special dk in the following colours and combinations:
Fondant and Pomegranate
Saffron and Shrimp (I also reversed this one and used Shrimp in the centre and Saffron as the outer round.)
Spring Green and Aspen
Sherbet and Turquoise
Magenta and Plum
Lavender and Violet
(Cream is the main colour)
You can buy Stylecraft Special DK at Wool Warehouse (this is my affiliate link).
I think that by having the lighter colour as the centre and the darker "version" of the same sort of colour as the outer round, they look like jewels.
I made all of the circles first; there are 7 of each colour combination. I spent ages arranging them into an order that I was happy with and then added the white rounds and joined-as-I-went with them.
The border was two rounds of cream worked into the back loops only. I made this in the same way as I make my Solid Granny Squares (I need to re-write the tutorial for this as I make them differently now and they work out better.) by making a treble stitch in the top of each stitch, and then a cluster of 2TRs, chain 3, 2TRs to make each corner.
Working in the back loops only gives that nice ridge but it's really time consuming to do so I went back to working in both loops for the rest of the border. I had intended to do a border of each colour combination separated by a round of Cream but it got far too big too quickly and I stopped after four colour combinations.
I really love the way corners go when you make big squares like this. I also have to say that Stylecraft, when it is crocheted in rounds of treble stitches like this when you get all the fronts of the stitches facing the same way is LOVELY. It's so soft, even more so than when it's in a ripple, in my opinion.
So, finished blanket time? Here we go!
I like it a lot.
It was made for Rosie (remember her?) as a little blanket to sit on for tea parties. You see, last time she visited she was bought a little tin tea set and I thought that you definitely need a picnic blanket for a tea party. And now she does, lovely :-)

(UPI) -- The audience at Wednesday night's Country Music Awards roared with laughter when hosts Brad Paisley and Carrie Underwood sang a duet mocking the administration's beleaguered HealthCare.gov website.
With a guitar and laptop in hand, Paisley and Underwood sang "Obamacare in the morning" -- to the tune of George Strait's "Amarillo By Morning" -- while Underwood attempted to register for healthcare.
"Hey do you have that Obamacare?" Underwood asked Paisley. "It's great. I started signing up last Thursday, and I'm almost done."
"Obamacare by morning, why's this taking so long? I'm going to wind up with hemorrhoids if I sit here til dawn," they crooned. "We'll have cataracts and dementia, Oh this is getting on my last nerve. Obamacare by morning ... over six people served."

Summer Science: Teens Enjoy Hands-on Learning at USU's Biotech Academy
Thursday, Jul. 18, 2013
Biological Engineering faculty member Dave Britt, center, guides Biotech Summer Academy participants Miles Robertson of Salem, Ore., left, and Shania Bitsoie of Blanding, Utah, in synthesis of fluorescent nanoparticles.
USU biology professor Anne Anderson, left, shows comparison lab samples to Biotechnology Summer Academy participants Andrew Curtin of Highland, Utah; Anna Bryner of Price, Utah and Ashley Shaw of Salt Lake City.
Science isn't just some old ideas written down in a textbook. That's one of the messages teens attending Utah State University's 13th annual Biotechnology Summer Academy for high school students contemplated this summer while donning lab coats, gloves and safety goggles and delving into hands-on research.
"This is where it all starts," said USU biology professor Anne Anderson, as she guided high schoolers Anna Bryner, Andrew Curtin and Ashley Shaw in setting up an experiment. "Not everything is written down. We don't know what's going to happen."
The three young researchers were among 19 teens from Utah, Nevada, Oregon and Wisconsin who participated in the 2013 program held July 8-12 on USU's Logan campus. Coordinated by USU's Center for Integrated BioSystems, the academy exposes teens to university-level research and college life.
"We're looking at bacterial-fungal interactions," said Shaw, who begins her senior year this fall at Salt Lake City's Academy for Math, Engineering and Science. "And we've each come up with a different hypothesis."
Several buildings away, teens Shania Bitsoie and Miles Robertson, working in the lab of biological engineering faculty member David Britt, dimmed the lights and watched as fluorescent nanoparticles gave off a bright green glow.
"It's been so much fun," said Robertson, who attends Salem, Oregon's Sprague High School. "Working in the lab has really expanded my mind on applications of the stuff I've been learning in my high school classes."
And that's exactly the reaction academy leaders, including coordinator Afifa Sabir, hoped for.
"Once you get teens to campus and give them an opportunity to experience life science research, they get excited about learning and pursuing college study," says Sabir, who initiated the academy in 2001 and has led the summer program, which has welcomed more than 400 participants, every year since.
"Each year, I'm more and more motivated by the students who take part in the academy," she said. "They're excited to learn and often ask to return the following year."
In fact, Sabir started an advanced summer academy several years ago at the suggestion of academy participants. The advanced program accommodates teens returning to the academy for a second year of biotechnology learning.
At the conclusion of each year's academy, participants, who reside in campus dorms during the week-long camp, present their research projects to family, peers and faculty members. Faculty judges select the top three presentations.
"This is an important part of the academy — as future scientists, the students practice articulating what they've learned to an audience," Sabir says. "Sometimes teens are quite nervous about this aspect of the week, but I reassure them that they know more about their subject than most anyone in the room. As my doctoral advisor told me years ago, 'It's a piece of cake.'"
Award recipients, with high school and hometown indicated, for Biotech Academy presentations were:
First Place: Shania Bitsoie (San Juan High School, Blanding, Utah) and Miles Robertson (Sprague High School, Salem, Ore.) for "Synthesis of Fluorescent Nanoparticles." Faculty mentor David Britt, Department of Biological Engineering.
Second Place: Rachel Bybee (Maple Mountain High School, Spanish Fork, Utah), Ryanne Crosby (Kanab High School, Kanab, Utah), Dylan Petersen (Mountain Crest High School, Providence, Utah) and Jessica Taylor (Northwest Career and Technology Academy, Las Vegas, Nev.) for "Investigating Indigoidine Heterologous Expression of IndC in e. coli." Faculty mentor: Jixun Zhan, Department of Biological Engineering.
Third Place: Shania Collins (Academy for Math, Engineering and Science, Magna, Utah) and Inger Toraasen (Slinger High School, Slinger, Wis.) for "Horse Reproduction and Reducing the Effects of Estrogen on Mares in Heat." Faculty mentor: Dirk Vanderwall, Department of Animal, Dairy and Veterinary Sciences.

COMMERCE CITY, Colo. – The Colorado Rapids announced on Wednesday that the club has signed Kamani Hill, a striker who has played in the German Bundesliga and with the U.S. National Team. The 26-year-old forward has been training with the Rapids for two weeks and is eligible to play for the club pending receipt of his International Transfer Certificate (ITC).
"Kamani is a dynamic striker who adds depth to our attack," said Rapids Technical Director Paul Bravo. "Oscar Pareja and the coaching staff have had the chance over the last couple weeks to see Kamani in action, and we're happy to have him join the squad."
Hill, originally from Berkeley, Calif., played two seasons at UCLA from 2004-05, scoring nine goals and adding 13 assists in 40 games (32 starts). He then joined VfL Wolfsburg of the German Bundesliga, making his debut with the club in January of 2007. He made a total of nine appearances with the first team, as well as several with the club's second team. He joined Vitória S.C. of Portugal in 2009, and was also loaned to Aves of the Portuguese second division in 2010.
The striker made a pair of substitute appearances with the U.S. National Team in 2007, first in a 4-1 win over China on June 2, 2007, and then in a 1-0 loss at Sweden on August 22, 2007. Hill also made several appearances with the U.S. Under-20 National Team in 2005.
The Rapids host the Chicago Fire this Sunday, April 1 at 5:00 p.m. MT at Dick's Sporting Goods Park.

What is an NP?
Nurse Practitioners are nurses who have had additional education and training that allows them to practice similarly to physicians, often acting as PCPs for their patients, and consulting or collaborating with physicians as needed. Most NPs focus on a specific aspect of primary care, such as adult medicine, family medicine, or women's health.

The information published in this post is now out-of-date.
—IEBlog Editor, 21 August 2012
Tony Chor, Rob Franco, and myself are in Beijing today as we make our way to Kuala Lumpur for the Hack-In-The-Box conference. We have a great team over here in what we call the ATC (Advanced Technology Center). In the past 6 months they've gone from just starting to adding serious value to IE 7. The folks over here have already contributed to IE 7 by re-writing the select control which Chris Wilson alluded to in his post from the PDC. Other improvements that we'll see come out of the ATC for IE include improving our bi-directional font support, font linking and fallback improvements, and increased accessibility support. Watch for more blog posts in the future from our teammates here in China covering the kinds of things they're working on.
After Kuala Lumpur I'll be heading down to Sydney and will attend the Ruxcon security conference in early October. Hopefully I'll get a chance to meet some of you down under.
On the road from China (and see you in Kuala Lumpur & Sydney),

Here's a picture of some of the folks here in China along with Rob, Tony, and myself:

Thus, I have come to the conclusion that it is best not to think too hard about posts on this forum, expect to not get flamed, or keep a forum on topic past the first ten or so posts.
(Note: Ten posts on track seems pretty rare, but maybe I just haven't checked many forums.)
Who said quantity was great? All I saw was Zipps pointing out an obvious flaw in your question about his familiarity with the site.
Interesting, I figured Zipps was just offering proof that he posts randomly.
At this point, I agree with both of you.

While his players are in Vermont for "team building" (probably climbing trees and forming a drum circle), Bruins general manager Peter Chiarelli held a conference call this morning.
Here a couple of the highlights other than his failed attempt to convince anyone that Michael Ryder isn't on the bubble.
•Chiarelli gives rookies Matt Bartkowski and Steve Kampfer a legit chance to make the team. I'm still not buying it. Keeping a kid straight out of college on the NHL roster goes against everything the Bruins have tried to preach under Chiarelli about developing players, in particular defensemen. Not to mention, who's going to sit to provide either of those two guys enough ice time? There are six guys on one-way deals, so I'm still pretty certain Bartkowski and Kampfer will start the season skating with a 'P' on their chests.
•Blake Wheeler, Zach Hamill, Ryan Spooner and Tyler Seguin are all in the mix to be the fourth center, the GM said. I'll assume Chiarelli left out Joe Colborne because it was Sunday morning and he was drowsy. To me, moving Wheeler to the middle really weakens the Bruins on the wing, unless you think Jordan Caron is ready to both play and produce points in the NHL. To me it makes the most sense to let Seguin settle into the third-line center role with a consistent pair of wings — maybe five, six games with Wheeler and Ryder — and let him get comfortable in the NHL. I can't imagine Hamill making this team, and Spooner might get a nine-game look before heading back to junior but I doubt he's a long-term answer for this season.
•Chiarelli was heartened by Marc Savard working on his sticks yesterday in the locker room. But the Bruins should really be more careful about creating false hope here. Just as it's irresponsible to declare him out for the season, creating excitement every time he does something that could be construed as a milestone creates the same atmosphere that caused Savard to rush back in the first place. Until he decides to quit on a comeback, or starts to work out without symptoms, Savard should be left to his own devices without any outside expectations influencing him either way.
•Just to re-iterate on the Ryder situation, when Chiarelli answers a question about the player's current camp and mostly bases his answer on what the guy has done in two dozen playoff games the last two years, he's reaching like a contortionist trying to scratch the middle of his own back to find a positive. Make no mistake, Ryder is in trouble here.

Painting IKEA's Frosta Stool
IKEA's Frosta stool, a $12.99 version of an original Alvar Aalto design, is by now known to most as an affordable and versatile seating/side table option. It comes in a clear lacquered birch veneer and is simply begging for a little customization...
Here, we see three painting projects that make the Frosta stool into something of their owners' own creations:
First, from Door Sixteen, a few steps were taken to bring the Frosta a bit closer to its predecessor. Four legs were converted to three and the top of the stool was painted with two coats of black semi-gloss. The result is similar to a laminated iteration of Aalto's original.
Next is a full-on paint job in a vibrant red. Via IKEA Hacker, a reader named Eve decopatched her Frosta. Decopatching is kind of like decoupage - read more on it here.
Lastly, a graphic is painted onto the seat of a Frosta stool at HGTV.
Have you customized a Frosta stool before? Or do you have a temptation to do so? What did/would you do?
