Quilt Out Loud! Episode Notes
September 2011 Episode
Week 1
After a 30-year hiatus, the swan boats are back on the lake in Asbury Park, New Jersey and guess who's pedaling them? Mark and Jodie!. Well, Jodie;: Mark's being lazy. The floating duo take to the dock for their What's Up? segment to show an array of quilt related "finds". Jodie shares a video taped at Quilt Market with Kay Capps Cross who demonstrates a simple way to have quilt labels at the ready so every quilt you make will be labeled as it should. Mark encourages quilters to join him in keeping an art journal feeling this stretches the creative muscle which is good for your primary craft of quilting.

Week 2
Mark journeys to Neptune, New Jersey for his door knock with dollmaker Mary Lou Klawetter whose friends will be arriving soon for a party. She gives Mark a tour of her house and studio which is filled with her whimsical work. Her introduction to dollmaking was through books and patterns and then she used her own ideas. Faces are made from either paper clay or fabric and are hand painted or embroidered. Her modus operandi is Head – Heart – Hands; the idea forms in her head, her heart adds the feeling and the work comes through her hands. Her work is always evolving taking her imagination as far as it will go. Jodie and Mark review books featuring jelly rolls and show a sampling of quilts from the books. The party is in full swing by now, so it's time to join the fun.

Tech News: Summer 2004
MISD News
Tech News: Summer 2004
Saturday, May 29, 2004 1:04 PM -0500
Tech News: Summer 2004
Congratulations on another successful school year! As we take on new challenges at our school district, I know that we can accomplish anything because you expect the best out of our students, because of who you are, the profession you have chosen, and the district you have chosen to work in. I feel honored to work with you and we will continue to help you in any way that we can.
It was tough to watch the awards ceremony as we lost a lot of good people that will be hard to replace. Many friends have retired. However, I am encouraged by the fact that there are many good people still here!
Here is a short list of technology projects in the works at MISD for this summer and upcoming school year.
Web site projects for next year:
(More details coming soon)
- Alumni Site
- Camp registration
- Staff Development Registration
- Swap Shop Online - Community Flea Market
- eCommerce Site - Advertising, purchasing, fees, test registration, supplies, fund raisers,
- Banner Community Ads
- Video Streaming Events
- Online Training
- Online Surveys
- New Design, navigation changes, new look
Upcoming Bond Projects:
Presentation Stations:
We are working towards installing a video projector into every secondary classroom that will be tied into your computer system. In the process, we will begin moving secondary COWS (Computer On Wheels) into the elementary classrooms to add to their herd.
Elementary Teacher Computers:
Every elementary teacher will be receiving a new computer for their classroom use to replace their 5 year old computer. The original teacher computer will remain in their classroom as an upgrade for their students to use. There will be training on how to use your new computer because the operating system, OSX, will be a little different that OS9.
Library Circulation System:
This coming fall, we are hoping to be moving to a new library circulation system. The goal is to have this be a web based single server solution accessible from any workstation with an internet connection. Several systems will be considered.
WAN Upgrade:
In an effort to increase our bandwidth across the District, we plan to upgrade our Wide Area Network this summer. We will leave our existing network in place to provide some redundancy to our overall network.
Secondary Computers:
Several labs are going to be replaced this summer with new equipment for our students. We will purchase over 100 new multimedia ready stations and recycle the previous stations into appropriate roles based on their capabilities. This will benefit our students whose skills at this level demand better equipment.
Wireless Connectivity:
In order to increase our wireless connectivity within our schools for our rolling wireless labs, we will dramatically increase the amount of access points throughout the schools. I'm certain that there will be some minor tweaking involved once school begins and the carts are utilized.
Campus Wireless Rolling Computer Labs:
After we complete the upgrade of your wireless capability at each campus, we will upgrade and add wireless carts at every campus. Each cart should have enough laptops to fill a classroom. We will also be upgrading your wireless printing capabilities as well.
ID Card System:
We are pursuing purchasing a system that enables us to support student and faculty ID's. The ID Cards would ultimately be used for security and identification, food service purchases, library checkout, and entry into secured areas. You would also no longer be able to tell which students are on the free and reduced lunch program protecting their integrity, speeding up lunch purchases, and discretely allowing economically disadvantaged students to participate in the program. Our goal is for all students to use their ID's to purchase meals.
Upon completion of the Tier 2 Technology Proficiencies, teachers will have the opportunity to receive a laptop that they can use at home and school. This is the next step in changing old tools to new tools for teaching. We hope that you will take advantage of this program to lessen the time you spend at school after hours developing lessons and grading papers. The more time you spend utilizing a computer for your work, the more proficient you will become. This is open to all teachers. You are very deserving of this opportunity and reward for your efforts. More details coming soon.
MHS IP Phone System:
In an effort to combine the North and South campus together with a unified phone system for better communication and increase security for our High School, we will begin the task of installing a new phone system that works across our computer network. All classrooms will have a basic phone system installed that can talk between buildings without using costly telephone lines. This will ultimately free up those lines for other uses. There are some other added features that we will go into more detail after the system is in place sometime this fall.
Completed Projects:
New Video Tech Lab:
Our new video tech lab will be capable of running the latest and greatest video editing software (Final Cut Pro) that the pros use. Students have already created some great projects and are eager to tackle more. We will also include sound authoring software and more tools to finish out the capabilities of this multi-purpose lab. This lab will also have the ability to service music theory classes (attached USB piano keyboard), and multimedia classes. The software and hardware in the lab is the same as those used in creating movies like "Open Range", "Lord of the Rings", and the TV series "24". After course completion, students will have marketable skills.
New Finance System:
Is up and running. This system is much more robust than our previous system but like anything new, there was a learning curve and few bumps along the way. Overall, the conversion went well.
New Webmastering Lab:
After seeing the need for better stations, the students now have computers capable of editing fully interactive web pages and more and the North Campus.
Student Server:
Students have been creating great projects that have been demanding of server space. In an effort to make their lives a little easier, and to allow them the ability to carry their work throughout the year, we have added a server with over half a terabyte of space.
FYI: A terabyte is 1000 gigabytes. A gigabyte is 1000 megabytes. A megabyte is 1000 kilobytes. A CDROM can hold about 700 megabytes of information (about 650 floppy disks).
New XP Lab for Business Computer Information Systems:
In order to keep our Business classes up to par with the latest and greatest, we moved those labs to Windows XP and purchased new lab computers running Windows XP.
Relocated Meadows Library Computer Lab:
We re-wired and re-located Meadows Library Computer Lab in an effort to make room for a new Children's Library brought about by
Project B.R.A.N.C.H. "Bringing Reading Appreciation Closer to Home"
MHS Problem Solvers. If you get a chance, you need to go by Meadows Library this summer and take a look. The lab turned out great as well providing more room for more computers.
Other Projects:
New Campus Servers:
Our present servers have reached capacity and are getting close to the end of their life. New servers will be installed this summer with your same account. They will have a lot more storage capacity and will be faster.
United Streaming Media Local:
One of the problems of utilizing the internet to its potential is that you run the risk of overusing its accessibility. As we have seen the spikes in usage over the years, we have continued to add bandwidth. If you are familiar with United Streaming, the possibility of us keeping up with bandwidth demands becomes less attainable. Download or streaming video on demand in its present form brings our internet access to its knees. Therefore, we are pursuing bringing the media onsite to our network locally to speed up delivery. This will give you the ability to search real time and receive information just in time for your class. There will be more on this once installed.
WeatherBug Online:
We are purchasing licenses for schools to use the weather curriculum from AWS with access to our weather data and those of other schools across the nation for real time weather forecasting. There are lessons in all subject areas with specialties in science, math, and geography.
Register for Summer Training:
It's still not too late to register for summer training. Go to
OSX Upgrade:
Elementary teachers and Vitovsky teachers will be moving to the new OSX operating system. There is OSX training available this summer. We will also offer training at the start of school.
Wish us luck that all orders arrive in a timely fashion and that the bids be low. Have a great summer!

Last night, Movieline released some disturbing info about Tyler Perry's film adaptation of Ntozake Shange's For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide When the Rainbow is Enuf:
Maybe Tyler Perry got tired of having to constantly say, "Precious: Based on the Novel Push By Sapphire"? Whatever the reason, Movieline has confirmed that Lionsgate shortened the title of Perry's award season ensembler For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide When the Rainbow is Enuf to just For Colored Girls (the new title just got its debut in these character posters).
First Perry ousts a black female director and now he edits down the title? Nsenga Burton provided an account of the director controversy at The Root weeks ago:
The process of adapting For Colored Girls to the big screen is one example of what can happen when black female filmmakers try to make movies centered around the lives of African-American women. Nzingha Stewart is matter-of-fact as she recounts what happened: "I wrote a draft. The draft enabled me to option the script. I started sending it out to actresses, and everybody was really excited. We then took it to a studio. Tyler [Perry] became involved, and now the movie is getting made." What she doesn't say is this: The blogosphere blew up with outrage when it was reported that Stewart originally had been tapped to direct but Perry pushed her out of the director's chair.
So here's the deal: often when Shange's project is referred to, usually on the second reference, it goes by the abbreviated "For Colored Girls." But it's an entirely different matter to market the film without the complete title. In doing so, Perry obscures the fact that this project is about the range of intense emotions displayed by women of color. The notion of considering suicide and the spectrum of the rainbow fully captures the nuanced emotional state of women of color. The shortened title reduces the project to a film simply for women of color without context.
These developments make me really weary about what else has been left out or cast aside. One scene that many feminists will be watching out for is the gripping account from the Lady in Blue on her decision to have an abortion. While I am trying to be optimistic, these indicators aren't a good look for what Shange set out to do with this life-altering play, a work of art that has touched the lives of so many women.

Rams head coach Steve Spagnuolo spoke to the media after practice on Thursday, and as you might imagine, much of the talk centered around the status of Sam Bradford. Bradford missed practice again today, and he continued to get treatment on his injured ankle. ""No. It's status quo. Again, really no change. He's got every gadget and gizmo known to America in there trying to get him healthy, but we'll see where we're at tomorrow. Reggie (Scott), I don't know if Reggie will attempt to do anything tomorrow or not. We'll see. He doesn't come right out on the field. First they're going to try to see if he can drop back. So we haven't even got to that point yet."
On the status of LT Rodger Saffold, who has been dealing with a bone bruise, Spags said: ""He bounced back, which was good to see because we can't afford to lose anybody. And he bounced back, which is good. We dodged a bullet there. It ended up being a contusion, so that was good."
The team also had a few guys miss practice today. One was CB Brian Jackson, who is being called day-to-day after suffering a knee injury. S Quintin Mikell was also absent on Thursday, but it wasn't injury related. Mikell was with him wife as the two celebrated the birth of their child. CJ Ah You was also still out, which was of no surprise to anyone.

Reviews by spectatorx
Let's rock!spectatorx | Aug. 25, 2013 | Review of Brutal Legend
This game is crazy! And that's why you have to play it.
Conception of it is really crazy, a lot of hack and slashing, some platforming, lots of humor, insane boss fights, hilarious game.
Visually engine is not the greatest but in this game graphics are not the most important part, the most important part of this game is audio and music! Hell yeah! Music is just epic! Brilliant rock and metal songs which will blow your mind.
One of the most interesting things about game is this game is not only for windows but only works under linux and this is great working on linux game. Has multichannel audio support, multidisplay support. By activating game on steam you are getting windows and linux version as well.
Playable benchmarkspectatorx | Aug. 20, 2013 | Review of Crysis
When crysis came out all gamers had jaws dropped to floor. They reacted like this because of how wonderful the game looks like and because of hardware requirements. Crysis has amazing graphics which are impressing people even today. Shooting is only addition to interesting world in which you can break almost anything, pick up almost anything and do whatever you want. It is open world game, in some locations you can swim around all enemies and avoid shooting them out. Physics in game are incredible and to this day are still impressive, it is awesome to set up few barrels and blow them up and watch how amazing things are going on on screen :D
Game has solid gameplay, interesting open world, amazing sound and graphics. The only problem may be requirements which are pretty high even now. Game was released in 2007 but still there is not so much hardware that could run it in full detail in 1080p with 60fps. If you want to play it in such resolution and framerate go minimum with core i5/phenom II x4, radeon hd78xx/geforce 660 and 4GB of ram. Crysis has x64 executables so it will benefit from every GB of ram.
Crysis is game which every gamer has to play so definitely it is must buy if you love FPS games and somehow didn't play crysis yet.
As good as armagedon wasspectatorx | Aug. 19, 2013 | Review of Worms Reloaded: Game of the Year Edition
I've spent a lots of time playing worms armageddon, tried to play all various 3d versions of worms but i wasn't pleased with them. I gave up on series and with caution tried reloaded and... that was almost shocking! 2d gameplay as in old game. Variety of weapons, new locations, new behaviors of weapons, more advanced physics, all of these are positive. Worms are fun, smart, crazy, cruel, full of dark humor. Twisted strategy with fun, that game is good for older players as also for younger to improve their planning skills.
Worms reloaded is a very good fun but also requires and trains your strategy skills. Perfect game for whole family.
Expected bad game and found out one of my favourite games!spectatorx | Aug. 18, 2013 | Review of Batman: Arkham Asylum Game of the Year
When i've heard the game is going to be released i said to myself "no, pls, probably another poor game about famous superhero and created with unreal engine 3". Fortunately only one part of this appeared to be true: game is on unreal engine 3. Batman is perfect fighter, can stun many enemies within just few seconds. Fights are simple and fluent. Asylum is big facility with many secrets to find out. Batman gadgets are useful in roaming and fighting. Interesting and twisted plot including many famous characters such as Joker, Scarecrow, Bain and many more. Also there is a lot of side stuff to do like Riddler's riddles. Arkham Asylum is gonna suck you for long time and give you a lot of fun by playing it. Definitely game adaptation of batman franchise is one of my favorite games overall.
Tutorial how to become sexy badassspectatorx | Aug. 17, 2013 | Review of Tomb Raider
- Take your friends and go for a trip into dangerous island
- Crash your vehicle on the island
- Try to free your friends and runaway with them from island.
These three steps turned Lara from quiet nerd into badass killing people with cold blood. I was afraid new Tomb Raider which is so-called reboot will be disaster like many similar attempts but no, new Lara turned out to be one of the best games of year 2013 and made her mark in history. Interesting story mixed of real things and paranormal, showing emotions of characters, changing atmosphere between them all. Game has pretty nice graphics, incredible gameplay, i love bow and prefer it over firearms, sound is awesome, i loved to play the game with my 5.1 setup. TressFX is demanding thing but works on nvidia and amd gpus as well and hair effects are really worth to see. Visiting temples is nice, it requires the same thinking as sleight.
Ladies and gentlemen, this is one of the best games of this year which you, as a gamer, have to try out and taste a bit of slaughter on abandoned island.
Oldschool FPS in era of MMSspectatorx | Aug. 16, 2013 | Review of Hard Reset
Secrets, variety of enemies, futuristic and mindblowing locations, unique weapons... that's why i love FPS genre. Since the youngest years of my life i was playing games like quake, unreal tournament and these are games to which i always compare fps, i'm looking for their successors. Console gaming, MMS games broke my favorite genre of games but here it is, polish studio: Flying Wild Hog appeared from nowhere, without big commercial campaign they released their first game: Hard Reset and i have to tell about this only one thing: I LOVE IT!!!
Game is difficult, enemies are rushing onto you in hordes, you have to use your weapons to fight them all, exploit weaknesses and pros of weapons and locations to beat all these crazy enemies in front, behind, over and under you.
I love the support which flying wild hog gave to this game. They released few DLCs for this game and all of them were free, like things used to be in old good times. Also they were releasing a lot of updates for pretty long time and updates improved the game even more than it was on launch.
In short: Hard Reset is decent FPS in times of indecent "fps games". You have to buy it.
Awesome package!spectatorx | Aug. 13, 2013 | Review of Complete GTA Bundle
Incredible bundle of (so far) all games of this crazy series. Bundle is described as containing "only" gta III and later games but when i did put my key into steam activation in my library were added all gta games: 1, 2, 3, 4, Vice City, San Andreas, episodes from Liberty City. This makes bundle even more interesting than it is described to be. What about games themselves? Do i really have to say anything about them? Every gamer know them very well and is aware of what is going to buy. Beginning gamers, be aware! You are going to buy one of the most entertaining, one of the most crazy games, one of the most cruel games and with awesome stories. Open world, crazy possibilities of things to do in game beside missions.
Also game is moddable in almost infinite way. Community support is incredible, with mods you can change anything from graphics, cars to every single detail in game. One of biggest strengths of not only single game but whole series. By myself i've spent a lot of time on modding gta vice city, that was so fun to me. I've loved to edit files, variables and test how it will change world in game.
Concluding: do not hesitate any moment and buy this bundle in this moment! Do this right now!
Interesting exceptionspectatorx | June 21, 2013 | Review of Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood
MMS, MMS, MMS... no, i do not mean mobile messages with pics and sounds i mean Modern Military Shooters, they are dominating gaming industry since few years and personally i'm done with them, bored with them and when i see another MMS coming soon i do not even want to watch its trailer, not even thinking about playing. Polish studio Techland decided to create something else, something fresh and they did it very well. Game has interesting story, is prequel to first Call of Juarez game, telling what happened between brothers and why became this what they are. Wonderful landscapes, semi-open world, variety of enemies and locations... and what is the most characteristic for this game: duels. Sharp eye, timing, precision on these depends your win or terrible failure. Definitely worth to play.
Playable fairytalespectatorx | June 21, 2013 | Review of Trine
Trine is one of these games with unique concepts and proper execution of them. No, i'm wrong, there is not many games like this, usually if game has good concepts it is executed at least acceptable, Trine is wonderful exception - it is unique game and executed very, very well. Close to perfection. Three heroes, every hero with other skills and abilities, i like it. It is needed to figure out how to use them to pass the way through which sometimes is not as easy as you might imagine. The game has an interesting sorry, wonderful narration and humorous dialogs between our three heroes. You definitely will fall in love with this charming game.
Freerunning and avoiding shootingspectatorx | June 20, 2013 | Review of Mirror's Edge (EU)
Mirror's Edge, when this came out and i tried it for the very first time i was speechless. Amazing artstyle combined with unique gameplay, specific futuristic world and incredible ambient music.
The thing which make this game so unique is gameplay and camera. You are running through various locations, looking for best path, you are facing enemies and the best way to complete the game is to avoid killing them. Yes, you can grab their weapons and shoot them all out but it is not as fun as trying to knock them all down without killing them. Game can be completed without killing at all, it is more difficult and very, very satisfying. Game is about running, you feel the speed very much, because of first person camera.
Because of used palette of colors some people may get temporal headaches, eye-aches, etc. But it should disappear after few short sessions with the game. So, if you are having any discomfort while playing the game play it in the beginning in 20-30 minutes sessions.
One of the best games i have ever played. Mirror's Edge is an experience which you should face.
Return to classics in new releasespectatorx | June 20, 2013 | Review of Might & Magic Heroes VI Complete Edition
New heroes game i like as much as i liked heroes 3 which is one of my favorite games ever. Current promotion which let's you buy complete edition of game for very small amount of money is just insane xD You are getting basic game in bundle with all available add-ons. Heroes 6 is perfect combination of best things from heroes 3 and 5. Many gamers are saying 6 is full of bugs, some way they are right but ubisoft released a lot of patches which fixed a lot and added a lot of features and content. Usually i'm not saying this about ubisoft games but the game is worth to buy.

Loving in ^_^, and considering it's based off allendale, the OC ability is also fantastic. The world of single core x86 processors is dimming and dying off thank god. More responsive systems which can multitask extremely well for very little cost? A much needed change for LOW budget rigs. ^_^
Yep, I heard of this. I guess it will be very good for laptops or people that do not really need a high performance computer, instead a comptuer that uses not as much power as all the other ones out there.
I wanna see the overclocking potential on that chip without a doubt.
Oh yeah, that will be sweet in my opinion. I bet you will be able to get a over 100% overclock with those. :)
With dry ice probably but I doubt it will with any other type of cooling since you need a 4GH freq. to reach a 100% OC. Having a chip from a good batch also helps.
Despite not being under a great deal of pressure from AMD's products, Intel is really mixing things up aggressively! If I were in the market for a basic PC, I'd deffinately opt for 1 of the new celerons.
AMD has some nice budget chips, there just not as fast as Intel's counterparts in some tests.
The new celerons are Allendales, so expect to see nearly the same OC potential out of them as you see with the low end Allendales e2x00 and e4x00. Overall, it means big performance for very small amounts of cash ^_^.
Makes sense. I believe in them. Maybe it can perform very well compared to the lower end and mid-range Core 2 Duos. :) You never know.
I don't expect that to happen though. After all, they are limited in l2 cache since they are budget processors. But when OC'ed, applications that utilize raw speed will definitely see great boosts. But a reduced L2 cache does impact performance.

Accountability And Corruption: Political Institutions Matter
AbstractThis study uses a cross-country panel to examine the determinants of corruption, paying particular attention to political institutions that increase accountability. Even though the theoretical literature has stressed the importance of political institutions in determining corruption, the empirical literature is relatively scarce. Our results confirm the role of political institutions in determining the prevalence of corruption. Democracies, parliamentary systems, political stability, and freedom of press are all associated with lower corruption. Additionally, common results of the previous empirical literature, related to openness and legal tradition, do not hold once political variables are taken into account.

Hope for Parents of Struggling Teens
- Monday, April 16, 2007
Editor's Note: The following is a report on the practical applications of Mark Gregston's book, When Your Teen is Struggling: Real Hope and Practical Help for Parents Today, (Harvest House Publishers, 2007).
Is your teen failing in school, addicted to drugs, involved in a sexual relationship, or committing crimes? Does he or she lash out at you in anger, lie to you, steal from you, refuse responsibility, or threaten suicide?
These and other troubling scenarios affect many teens today, and if you're the parent of a struggling teen, you may be sinking into despair. No matter how hard your teen is struggling right now, though, there is hope – hope for a brighter future for your teen, and a restored relationship between you.
Here's how you can help your teen overcome his or her struggles:
Face reality. Admit and accept that your teen is dealing with serious problems. Decide to do whatever it takes to help your son or daughter pursue healing.
Don't panic. Know that God offers you real hope to overcome any difficulty and restore any relationship. Look beyond your teen's problems to the God you can trust to give you wisdom to deal with them. In prayer, place the situation in God's hands and ask Him to guide you and your teen through it.
Know that you're not alone. Recognize that plenty of other parents are facing the same issues you're facing, and that anyone can have a struggling teen, regardless of how good they are as parents. Remember that God – who loves your teen even more than you do – sees what's going on and cares about it. Turn to God in prayer often to ask for the strength you need.
Realize that God uses bad situations to accomplish good purposes. Understand that this time in your son or daughter's life will not be wasted if you invite God to transform it. Ask God to use it to help your teen grow more into the person he or she is meant to be. Know that your teen's struggles aren't just distractions; they're valuable tools God can use to help him or her grow. Trust that, even though you don't see what God is doing right now, God is still at work behind the scenes working out good purposes in your teen's life.
Stay engaged with your teen. No matter how frustrated you become, don't abandon your relationship with your son or daughter. Recognize that your teen needs you, especially at this time. Even when your struggling teen pushes you away, remain committed to him or her. Ask God to help you persevere and continue to express love to your teen, no matter what.
Be compassionate. Don't condemn your teen; doing so will only push him or her farther away. Ask God to give you His compassionate perspective on your teen's struggles. Use kindness and gentleness when you communicate with your teen, seeking to let God's love flow through you into your son or daughter's life. Pray for the wisdom you need to express tenderness to your teen while still exercising the strong authority you need to maintain as a parent.
Figure out what's behind your teen's behavior. Recognize that the real issue isn't your teen's behavior, no matter how outrageous it is. Know that what's most important are the reasons behind your teen's behavior. Get to know what is motivating your teen to act the way he or she does. For example, is your teen reacting to a recent move, your divorce, or abuse of some kind? Instead of just trying to stop your teen's reckless behavior, help your teen work through the issues that are causing the behavior.

The family of the Texas Tech graduate killed in a hit and run boating accident, has filed a wrongful death lawsuit against the owners of the suspect boat.
23-year-old Laura Putnam was killed at Lake LBJ on Memorial Day after an accident in which she was thrown from a boat. Her body was found about two weeks later.
On Monday, Frank Branson, attorney for the Putnam family, filed the lawsuit against Berkley and Vincent Dawson. They are two prominent businessmen and brothers from San Antonio. The Dawsons hosted a gathering at their Horseshoe Bay vacation home on Memorial Day weekend, but their lawyer says they were sleeping at the time of the fatal crash. They have not been named as suspects in this case.
Branson says the timing of the lawsuit was done intentionally to coincide with the upcoming 4th of July weekend.

Fun Medieval Doodles
Here is a small selection of doodles I tweeted over the past year (@erik_kwakkel). Although they are usually not exactly eye-candy, they are easy to like. I think this is because they are often very funny, but also because the activity is such a familiar one. Almost without thinking we ourselves doodle on notepads, post-it notes or in the margin of the newspaper.
While our drawings are often the result of boredom, in the Middle Ages there was often a more pragmatic rationale behind their creation. In some cases they were a response to the text, such as the Adam and Eve doodle above. Moreover, many were the fruit of correcting the nib of the pen, like the little dog's head. They are the medieval equivalent, as it were, of our scratching on a piece of paper to get the ink flowing.
In other cases still it remains a mystery what the doodling scribe was thinking. Why draw the skeleton that seems to hold a glass, for example? Is it a warning that our enjoying the delights of this planet will ultimately come to an end? A medieval campaign against riding your horse while under influence? Whatever the meaning of this poor guy with his drink may be, and in spite of the fact we are reminded of our own mortality, sketches like this do brighten the page - and my day.

"Worse than the sunflower," she had said. But the new dimension of truth had only recently Burst in on us. Now it was to be condemned. And in vagrant shadow her mothball truth is eaten. In cool, like-it-or-not shadow the humdrum is consumed. Tired housewives begat it some decades ago, A small piece of truth that is it was honey to the lips Was also millions of miles from filling the place reserved for it. You see how honey crumbles your universe Which seems like an institution – how many walls? Then everything, in her belief, was to be submerged And soon. There was no life you could live out to its end And no attitude which, in the end, would save you. The monkish and the frivolous alike were to be trapped in death's capacious claw But listen while I tell you about the wallpaper – There was a key to everything in that oak forest But a sad one. Ever since childhood there Has been this special meaning to everything. You smile at your friend's joke, but only later, through tears. For the shoe pinches, even though it fits perfectly. Apples were made to be gathered, also the whole host of the world's ailments and troubles. There is no time like the present for giving in to this temptation. Once the harvest is in and the animals put away for the winter To stand at the uncomprehending window cultivating the desert With salt tears which will never do anyone any good. My dearest I am as a galleon on salt billows. Perfume my head with forgetting all around me. For some day these projects will return. The funereal voyage over ice-strewn seas is ended. You wake up forgetting. Already Daylight shakes you in the yard. The hands remain empty. They are constructing an osier basket Just now, and across the sunlight darkness is taking root anew In intense activity. You shall never have seen it just this way And that is to be your one reward.
Fine vapors escape from whatever is doing the living. The night is cold and delicate and full of angels Pounding down the living. The factories are all lit up, The chime goes unheard. We are together at last, though far apart.
Things I have learnt from being irritated by my tutoring student:
1. I am a hypocrite.
2. I will never be a teacher.
3. ugh.
It is the first colour I have seen in months. Or so it seems. Scarlet. A little wild poppy, of a red so sudden it made my blood stop. I kept saying the word over and over to myself, scarlet, as if the word, like the colour, had escaped me till now, and just saying it would keep the little windblown flower in sight.
Poppy. The magic of saying the word made my skin prickle, the saying almost a greater miracle than the seeing. I was drunk with joy. I danced. I shouted. Imagine the astonishment of my friends at Rome to see our cynical metropolitan poet, who barely knows a flower or a tree, dancing about in broken sandals on the earth, which is baked hard and cracked in some places, and in others puddled with foul-smelling mud — to see him dancing and singing to himself in celebration of this bloom.
Poppy, scarlet poppy, flower of my far-off childhood and the cornfields round our farm at Sulmo, I have brought you into being again, I have raised you out of my earliest memories, out of my blood, to set you blowing in the wind. Scarlet. Magic word on the tongue to flash again on the eye. Scarlet. And with it all the other colours come flooding back, as magic syllables, and the earth explodes with them, they flash about me. I am making the spring. With yellow of the ox-eye daisy of our weedy olive groves, with blue of cornflower, orange of marigold, purple of foxglove, even the pinks and cyclamens of my mother's garden that I have forgotten all these years. They come back… though there was, in fact, just a single poppy, a few blown petals of a tissue fineness and brightness, round the crown of seeds.
Where had it come from? I searched and searched but could find no other. The seeds must have blown in and taken root. But from where? From the sea — carried high up in a stream of luminous dust and let fall among us. Or in the entrails of some bird on its way north, and growing out of the bird's casual droppings as it passed.
I sit on the ground and observe it. I love this poppy. I shall watch over it.
Suddenly my head is full of flowers of all kinds. They sprout out of the earth in deep fields and roll away in my skull. I have only to name the flowers, without even knowing what they look like, the colour, the shape, the number of petals, and they burst into bud, they click open, they spread their fragrance in my mind, opening out of the secret syllables as I place them like seeds upon my tongue and give them breath. I shall make whole gardens like this. I am Flora. I am Persephone. I have the trick of it now. All it needs is belief.
And this, as I might have guessed, is how it is done. We give the gods a name and they quicken in us, they rise in their glory and power and majesty out of minds, they move forth to act in the world beyond, changing us and it. So it is that the beings we are in the process of becoming will be drawn out of us. Beginning, as always, with what is simple.
Poppy, you have saved me, you have recovered the earth for me. I know how to work the spring.

When it comes to local late-night sports shows, the competition isn't close. You might even call KUTV's performance during the recent May sweeps a blowout.
On Saturday nights, Channel 2's "Talkin' Sports" (4.8 rating/10 share) out-rated its competition on KSL-Channel 5 (2.9/6 for "SportsBeat") and KTVX-Channel 4 (1.4/3 for "Sports Zone") combined.
On Sundays from 10:35-11:05 p.m., "Talking Sports" (5.4/12) out-rated "SportsBeat" (2.6/6) and "Sports Zone" (1.6/4) combined.
The second half of "Talkin' Sports" (2.8/8) beat every other local Sunday-night sports show, including KSTU-Channel 13's "Sports Page" (2.6/6). And that's impressive because the later it gets, the fewer people watch TV. So the second half of "Talkin' Sports" was drawing from a smaller pool and still drew more viewers.
A local rating point represents about 9,275 homes — 1 percent of the 927,540 TV-equipped homes the A.C. Nielsen Co. estimates are in the Salt Lake television market. A share point is 1 percent of the homes where someone is actually watching TV at any one time.
We're not talking about massive numbers here, but they're still significant. Here are approximations of how many households tuned to various shows during the May 2012 sweeps:
Saturdays: "Talkin' Sports," 44,400; "SportsBeat," 26,900; "Sports Zone," 13,000. Sundays: "Talkin' Sports" (10:35-11:05 p.m.), 50,100; "Talkin' Sports" (11:05-11:35 p.m.), 26,000; "SportsBeat," 24,100; "Sports Page," 24,100; "Sports Zone," 14,800.
By the way, KUTV's "Hooked on Utah" (23,200 homes) easily outdrew "KSL Outdoors" (13,000) on Saturdays at 11:05 p.m. And the second half of "Talkin' Sports" on Sunday more than doubled the number of homes watching "KSL Golf" (12,100).
Clearly, more people are turning to KUTV for their late-night sports fix on the weekends. The obvious question is — why?
You can't look at numbers for an answer, however. Ratings are not a scientific experiment with controls. We're left to speculate.
Here's the speculation:
• "Talkin' Sports" gets a better lead-in from KUTV's late-night news. OK, but that's less true on the weekends. And Channel 2 doesn't hold a 2-1 advantage over Channel 5 .
• The decline of "SportsBeat" is tied to the general decline in KSL ratings. Hard to argue with that.
• "Talkin' Sports" doesn't have an overt tie to BYU or Utah. Cougar fans might turn away from Channel 4 and Ute fans might avoid Channel 5.
• KUTV is making a bigger commitment to late-night sports shows. "Talkin' Sports" airs weeknights at 10:35 p.m. on KUTV's sister station, KMYU, which is now available on cable, Dish and DirecTV. These really aren't big numbers. The Monday-Friday show averaged a 0.6 rating — about 5,500 homes — but that number doubled from February to May. And it does give "Talkin' Sports" a presence throughout the week.
• Viewers like KUTV sportscasters Dave Fox, David James and Adam Mikulich more than they do their counterparts. Ouch. That's a bit harsh if you're at Channels 4, 5 or 13. But there has to be a degree of truth in that. There are certainly options besides "Talkin' Sports," and a lot more Utahns are choosing to watch the KUTV guys.

HUNTSVILLE — Everette Mayes hadn't done much offensively for most of four quarters.
He was just waiting for the right moment.
Mayes, without a basket until 57 seconds were left to play, sank a 3-pointer at that mark and later banked home the game-winning shot on a runner in the lane to lift Austin to a 59-57 victory over Grissom on Saturday in the consolation final of The Huntsville Times Classic.
"I've just got ice water in my veins," Mayes said after the Black Bears took fifth place at Huntsville High.
He'll get no argument from his coach.
"Last season we called him Big Shot Everette," Austin's Demond Garth said. "He wants the ball in his hands in the fourth quarter, and he made two big shots."
Austin (9-3) advanced to the fifth-place game by defeating Bob Jones 62-50 in a game that began at 9 a.m. Saturday. Grissom advanced with a 53-43 win over Decatur in a 10:30 a.m. game. The final began at 1 p.m.
The semifinals were postponed from Friday night because of a leak in Huntsville's auxiliary gym.
"We got better," Garth said, "plus we overcame some adversity with the leaking gym and having to play this morning. Hopefully, this will carry us into area play."
Austin held leads of 11-9 at the end of the first quarter and 32-23 at halftime. The score was 41-all entering the fourth.
Grissom pulled ahead at 57-54 with 1:11 to play, but Mayes tied it with his trey.
Austin's defense got a stop, Mayes sank the game-winner with eight seconds left, and Malique Elliot got a steal as the Tigers neared the top of the key on the other end to seal the win.
"When we need a big basket I know I can get it," Mayes said. "I never doubt myself in the clutch."
Tobias Payne led Austin with 16 points. Camron Reedus added 15 points, and Elliot 12.
Devorice Milbry had 18 points for Grissom (10-9).
Austin 62, Bob Jones 50: Elliot had 18 points and 12 rebounds to lead the win. Mayes added 12 points.
Grissom 53, Decatur 43: Navante Williams scored a dozen points and Cameron Twitty and Kaleb Smith each added nine for the Red Raiders.
Williams was big on the boards with eight. Rex Jarman had a pair of assists and two steals.
Grissom, which led 26-17 at halftime, was led by Rob Daniels' 20 points and Russ Daniels' 16.
Milbry had seven rebounds.

Help me choose the cover for my upcoming novel!
I would really love your opinion in choosing the design for my book cover! This project has been a long time in development and I am now in the final stages before publication. I am very fortunate to have the help of one of my closest friends, the extremely talented designer Brad Maxwell, in producing a number of beautiful pieces of cover art for my book. I now have the difficult task of making a choice! So I'd really appreciate a moment of your time for you to give your opinion on which direction I should take. Click here to go to my survey to leave your opinion until the 27th of October.
A brief preview of my forthcoming book:
"Spirits at the Dawn of Day" is a work of philosophical fiction, written for anyone with an open mind that questions their daily reality and the validity of the lives we are all compelled to lead. It deals with philosophical conundrums and ancient esoteric insights, but remains grounded in the scientific, economic and political realities of the world. The binding philosophical question that appears throughout the book – 'How free are we to choose the lives that we do?' – is a question pertinent to us all…
The book details the inner journey of Joshua Black, a journey he is forced to take when his outer world is suddenly made unbearable. This is a path we are all destined to walk, but the world we have created and the daily task in our lives perpetually distract us. When taken, this journey of discovery is always challenging but ultimately profoundly rewarding… When someone starts this voyage, they are never the same again… This is something primal. We are all unconsciously driven on a journey of self-discovery, and we ignore this drive at our own peril…
Click here to see the design concepts in contention and please leave your opinion!
Thank you so much for your time and input. I'd also welcome any feedback on twitter and facebook.
The design No 3 better than 126.96.36.199 because 3 is very important for all of our earth that sunraise sunset of day..and water is important all of our earth..Its my opinion.
I hope your health and success and good luck ?
You if you chose, could try closing your eyes with allthe covers in front of you. Take a deep breath, relax and see where your hand takes you.
Ultimately, the one of the red sunset and sea is rather calming but effective. xx
I sent you yesterday to my opinion is # 3 for your book cover.
I hope you think it and the final decision thinks that it is the best that yourself decide.
With good faith
I think I agree that the third one, with the orange cover and religious symbols is the best. It looks like you could make some sales with that one, definitely. If there's a second choice, go for the pink and orange. But in my opinion it's more typical of novels today. Maybe that's a good thing. I wouldn't blame you for favoring the last one over the third, but they say red covers are best for marketing, so avoid black (although my first book was black and white, and my sales were fairly poor).
Hey there! I love making decisions when it comes to anything related to designs so I can't help but share my thoughts….hmmm.. I personally like the #3 only because it's more captivating and eye catching. The color/design complements the title of your book. When I think of dawn of day, I can't help but imagine everything lightly sun kissed and glowing with amber as the sun comes up… very beautiful, isn't it?

text: Recycling: Less Waste, but still higher than the EU average Tue, 17 Apr 2012 00:00 - Tuesday, 17 April 2012, 00:00 by Francesca Vella A new report published by the European Commission yesterday explains how top performing member states have recycling rates of up to 70% and bury virtually nothing, whilst other still landfill more than three quarters of their waste. Malta has come a long way since people started separating recyclable waste, but the amount of waste generated is still high compared to that of other EU countries. Numerous campaigns and educational initiatives aimed at raising awareness on the need to manage waste sustainably have been undertaken over the years. Concurrently, there was the development of essential infrastructure such as bring-in sites in every locality, five civic amenity sites for the disposal of bulky waste and the waste treatment plant at Sant'Antnin. Furthermore, the 'Recycle Tuesdays' scheme was introduced in 2008 as a means of collecting recyclable household waste on a door-to-door basis. A Wasteserv spokesperson recently told sister newspaper The Malta Independent on Sunday that prior to 2004 and EU accession, all waste in Malta was dumped in uncontrolled landfills. By 2010, the amount of municipal waste taken to local landfills had fallen by 14% and, according to statistics recently published by Eurostat, there was a corresponding increase in the amount of recyclable and compostable waste. While the results achieved so far are definitely positive and promising, the famous motto "reduce, reuse and recycle" has remained just a catchphrase to some people, said the spokesperson. The amount of waste generated per capita fell from 647 kilograms in 2009 to 591 kilograms the following year. Although positive, this is still 89 kilograms higher than the EU average of 502 kilograms per capita for the same year and reflects the need for a greater effort by the Maltese to minimise the amount of waste produced on a daily basis, be it at work, at home or at leisure. How have the best performers turned waste from a problem into a resource? The European Commission's report explains that it is by combining economic instruments. A mix of landfilling and incineration taxes and bans, producer responsibility schemes and pay-as-you-throw prove to be the most effective tools in shifting waste streams to more sustainable paths. If the EU is to meet the objectives set out in the Resource Efficiency Roadmap – zero landfilling, maximising recycling and reuse, and limiting energy recovery to non recyclable waste – these economic instruments will need to be introduced more widely across all member states. Environment Commissioner Janez Potočnik said: "Waste is too valuable to just throw away, and if you manage it right you can put that value back into the economy. Six member states – Belgium, Denmark, Germany, Austria, Sweden and The Netherlands – now combine virtually zero landfilling and high recycling rates. Not only do they exploit the value of the waste, they have created thriving industries and many jobs in the process. "This report shows how they achieved it: by making prevention, reuse and recycling more economically attractive through a selection of economic instruments. We now have a common responsibility with the member states and local authorities to ensure that these instruments are effectively used and spread across the EU. This is one of the central goals of the Resource Efficiency Roadmap." Waste is too valuable to just throw away, and if you manage it right you can put that value back into the economy

Rowe, Alan, 1892-1968
Extent: 40 linear feet
From 1921 to 1933, the Palestine Expedition of the University of Pennsylvania Museum conducted excavations at Bet Sh'ean, a site located 12 miles south of the Sea of Galilee in Israel. The expedition was intended to be an extensive research effort in Syria-Palestine, but this goal was never fully achieved due to financial stringencies imposed during the Depression of the 1930s. Clarence S. Fisher, Curator of the Egyptian Section of the University Museum, directed the first three seasons of work at Bet Sh'ean. Alan Rowe and Gerald M. FitzGerald directed the subsequent seven field seasons. Nine major occupation levels were described, the earliest dating to the Late Neolithic, and the latest from the Arab/Crusader periods. Records describing the excavations at Bet Sh'ean consist of forty linear feet of records, including diaries, a card catalog, plans, photographic material, field notes, correspondence, financial records, notes, and publication drafts, as well as dozens of maps, drawings, and paintings.
Grant, Elihu, 1873-1942

Satterthwaite, Linton, 1897-1978
Extent: 8 linear feet (the records are contained in sixteen archival boxes, six of which contain photographs, three small file boxes of card records, and some oversized drawings)
Linton Satterthwaite, a professor in the Department of Anthropology at the University of Pennsylvania and Curator of the American Section of the University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology, conducted three trips to Caracol, Belize in the 1950s to investigate a previously unknown site of Maya culture. While his primary interest was in Maya inscriptions and chronology, his journeys to Caracol yielded artifacts for the Museum, including twenty-six vessels of the early classic period, nine vessels of the late period, Stela 11, a new "giant glyph" altar, and the bottom portion of Stela 3. The Caracol expedition collection consists of 16 boxes of correspondence, field notes and notes on individual stela, altars, and stones, glyph decipherment and chronology data, information for publication, and photographs and drawings including contact sheets and photographs from Caracol, Benque Viejo, and Cayo X. Satterthwaite organized and catalogued the photographs according to the type of film used, field numbers, and monument number. The collection also contains three file boxes of card notes to the photographs and a few pieces of oversized material. Satterthwaite's "The Monuments and Inscriptions of Caracol, Belize" with co-author Carl Beetz, was published after his death. The publication materials relate to his instructions and notes for publication and Beetz' collection of Satterthwaite's monument notes for the book.

Piedras Negras is a Maya site in Guatemala particularly noted for the beautifully sculpted stelae and hieroglyphic inscriptions it has yielded. Between 1931 and 1939 the University of Pennsylvania Museum conducted extensive excavations at this site. John Allen Mason led the first two seasons of work at the site (1931–1932), and Linton Satterthwaite directed the remaining six seasons (1933–1939, excluding 1938). Most of the monuments at the Museum borrowed from Guatemala were returned in 1947; only Stela 14 and one leg from Altar 4 remain on display in the Museum today. The textual records from the excavations of Piedras Negras consist of 11 linear feet of correspondence, financial records, field notes and diaries, catalogs, and reports and publication materials. The arrangement of the records reflects the original order insofar as could be detected, and portions that had been separated over time were re-integrated into this scheme.

Burkitt, Robert James, 1869-1945
Extent: 1.4 linear feet (the collection is contained in 3 manuscript boxes. correspondence is 16 folders; catalogues and reports are 14 folders; photographs are contained in 16 folders; and 13 folders of notes and studies on collection. )
Robert Burkitt lived and worked in Guatemala for most of his life. A graduate of Harvard University, he first traveled to Central America in 1894 with George Gordon as Gordon's assistant on the Fourth Coban Expedition. Burkitt became enamored with the culture and language of the Maya and never returned to North America. He traveled the countryside, corresponding with Gordon, and collecting items for the Museum under a loosely binding agreement with Gordon and later Horace Jayne. Burkitt's letters and catalogues are rich documents depicting the cultural, linguistic, topological, and historical features of the Guatemala Highlands. Burkitt wrote and worked from the areas of Chama, Chipal, Coban, Senahu, Chiantla, Chocola, and other areas of the Alta Verapaz region. He produced a detailed catalogue of his discoveries accompanied by photgraphs and drawings. Among Burkitt's discoveries is the Ratinixul Vase unearthed in 1923. His work was published in the Museum Journal in 1924 and 1930. Burkitt also wrote about the languages of the Maya, leaving an unfinished grammar and dictionary of the Kekchi language at his death in 1945.

At the turn of the century, the Río Grande de Coclé changed course, revealing the site of a pre-Columbian cemetery when pottery and gold ornaments were washed out of the river banks. In 1940 the University of Pennsylvania Museum began to excavate Sitio Conte, which belonged to a private landowner, located in the province of Coclé. A very small portion of the pre-Columbian cemetery, estimated to cover four or five acres in its entirety, was selected for excavation. The expedition yielded 6,600 pounds of pottery and stone. The textual records consist of 1.5 linear feet of field notes, diaries, and object cards; correspondence; administrative records concerning contracts, expenses, transportation, and equipment; and unpublished and published reports and articles concerning findings. The arrangement of the records became apparent after some research, for the original order had been lost. Most of the original folder titles, however, have been maintained.
