The 2014 NFL draft took place over a month ago, but it's still the most talked about part of the league. Three members of the 2013 Husker football squad were drafted this year, one of which was cornerback Stanley Jean-Baptiste.
He was selected in the second round with the No. 58 pick by the New Orleans Saints. Jean-Baptiste was a terrific defensive back for the Cornhuskers, but how will he fare in the Big Easy?
As a diehard Saints fan, I loved the pick at the time, and not just because it was my favorite team drafting a player from my favorite college team. I loved the pick because the Saints only needed a wide receiver on offense, which they took care of in the first round. Once that position was filled, it was all defense from there.
Jean-Baptiste originally played wide receiver, but was converted to defense after his sophomore year. Once he transitioned to corner, it looked like he should have played the position for his entire Husker football career.
He racked up 41 tackles (three for losses), 12 defended passes, four interceptions (one pick six), and one sack during his senior year alone.
The Saints recently acquired Champ Bailey from the Denver Broncos, but Bailey is aging and probably only has a few more seasons left in him. The Saints also have Keenan Lewis who had an incredible season in 2013.
I would imagine the two aforementioned players will get the start at the cornerback position, but Jean-Baptiste will be a great reliever (for his rookie year, anyway). Have him sit behind Bailey and Lewis. He should learn a lot about the position and how to become an elite NFL cornerback.
New Orleans' defense improved immensely from 2012 to 2013 with the addition of defensive coordinator Rob Ryan. I think 2014 will be a fantastic year for the Who Dats as they already have the tools to be successful. Not to mention they're getting a great rookie in Jean-Baptiste.
He'll thrive in short order.

The United Nations created the Internet Governance Forum (IGF) to continue the work of the World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS).
The IGF has brought together people from government, private sector, technical community and civil society to discuss Internet governance issues at a series of annual meetings since 2006.
Internet Governance Forum 2014
From the 2nd - 5th of September you have a chance to have a voice in the most pivotal event of the year regarding the future of the Internet.
Over the past couple of years there have been various attempts for regulation and state control of the global Internet, which lead to questionable policies took advantage of its technology.
In April, the world leaders gathered to discuss the future of the Internet at Netmundial. As a result, policy and decision makers from around the world are taking stock and looking at how the Internet is run and strengthening the foundations of how it is governed.
It's time to continue those discussions and develop lasting solutions – but that can't happen without you.
The fight for an open Internet begins here.
Why is the IGF important?
The Internet Governance Forum is one of the most successful outcome of the WSIS. It brings together governments, civil society, the private sector and the technical community in an informal setting, free from binding negotiations.
The IGF is a unique platform for all of these stakeholders to openly exchange perspectives and concerns on key issues that may affect the future of the Internet for billions of users. Issues dealt by the IGF include:
This type of cooperative engagement is usually referred to as the multistakeholder model of Internet Governance, which is one of the key features for the Internet's success.
This model is paramount to ensure that the Internet remains sustainable for economic and social development.
What is the Internet Society doing there?
The Internet Society has been engaged in and supported the IGF since its inception in 2006, in Athens.
Every year, we organize workshops and session in partnership with other stakeholders to address key Internet issues.
The Future of the IGF
On 14 February the Internet Society's public policy experts to shared insights and discuss the Internet Governance Forum (IGF), how it works today, the experiences that it has helped us acquire and how it can evolve.
Our Chapter in New York has made the audio available through its website. Here's how you can listen to the discussion:

How you can get involved?
IGF Ambassadors
The Internet Society runs an ambassadorship programme to send subject matter experts from across the world to the Forum itself, thereby facilitating the exchange of information and best practices with key stakeholders participating in the meeting.

It was back to school today for Rochester area kids. With temperatures in the single digits and wind chills below zero, that meant bundling up.
Nikki Rudd caught up with students in the East Rochester School District as they headed back to school Wednesday.
Even when you're bundled up like the Jones girls, it's still cold out there. Their father, Jerry Jones said, "The girls are anxious to get back to school but it was still concerned about the temperatures. It's still cold."
Some parents and kids say it's way too cold to be walking to school today while others say it's no big deal, we live in Western New York after all.
Kindergartener Alex Cuello wasn't psyched about sticking around for an interview and we don't blame her. Father Sly Connell agreed. The cold can't stop the kids around here from making it to school. "I expected it. It's not that cold today."
And he's right. East Rochester's Interim Superintendent Richard Stutzman says he considers road conditions, the amount of snow and wind chill when it comes to closing schools. He says it's one of the hardest decision to make and no matter what, not everyone will be happy.

Delightful Wonder Emporium Sparks Imagination
- Friday, November 16, 2007
Molly and the Mutant are committed adults who truly want the best for the children. The relationship between Mr. Magorium and Molly is very touching and inspiring, and the dynamics between the ever-transforming Mutant and young Eric are what every kid no doubt wants in a father figure—involvement, creativity, love and friendship.
The problem with the movie is that it's centered on the powers of magic, which should be discussed with kids as a faulty basis for belief, and the filmmakers do toss in a statement that really begs parental correction with the truth. At one point Eric asks Mr. Magorium if he's going to heaven, and the old man answers, "Yes, heaven … or Shangri La … I may even return as a bumblebee!"
Even young children can understand that other religions, especially Eastern religions and New Age philosophies, teach reincarnation, whereas the truth can always be found in God's Word. The Bible says that "it is appointed unto man once to die, and then the judgment" (Hebrews 9:27). We don't come back as humans or animals, but we do get to live with God forever in a Kingdom that will never end. What a far better deal than the bumblebee idea!
The other problem is that, like many other Hollywood offerings, this movie's message is that it's all about believing in yourself. The truth, of course, is that it's all about believing in the One who created us and in seeking His purpose for our lives.
Overall, the movie has clever humor, beautiful art direction, commendable acting, and tender relationship portrayals. It does, however, lend itself to a marked need for family discussion on a few elements that, in some cases, are minor to the movie but may be important to your family's worldview.
- Drugs/Alcohol: None.
- Language: One mild obscenity ("crap").
- Sex/Nudity: None.
- Violence: Fantasy violence, like giant ball chasing kid and pinning him against door.
- Worldview: Love and faith (in self and magic) will triumph over doubt and fear. People might come back again after they die—even as animals, etc.

text: Mhottest Jul 13 - Modest formal gowns are hard to come by. The trend of doing the "sheer lace over a solid cap sleeve" needs to come to an end. I propose, as a solution, using nude lining like Reem Acra did in the 2013 resort collection. The neckline of this gown may be a little low for some, but the idea is still there. If you don't feel like "baring" it all with a nude lining. Try something to contrast and make the lace really pop. No need to highlight the part that needs to be covered by making is so obviously solidly shielded from eyes. Nude lining for the fashion win. More about the modest way to do see-through lace. Meta: Modest may not be hottest, but you can sure as hell try. « »

Oh man, a busy day yesterday in hoops! The obvious first mention is GO HEELS! Oh man, I feel like storming the court today. I think Chapel Hill fans everywhere this morning should storm their office/classroom/crowded area in a flash mob at some point. Then we have LeBron James getting his nose broken by Serge A Broke-a! The mayor of Cleveland has already issued Serge Ibaka a key to the city. Fine LeBron $5,000 for flopping! Man, the next round of internet videos of "LeBroning" are going to be a lot more like "The Knockout Game". Seriously, even LeBron haters have to love he got it broke a step or two out before throwing it down. Word still to come if the nose is indeed broken, but my money is on yes. Regardless, we've seen a few players come back from a broken nose in the same game donning the Hannibal mask, so I doubt he misses any time after passing concussion tests last night. MaskBron! And then we had the trade deadline come and go, with nothing too major albeit a few surprises. I'm starting a bit off the reservation with a guy I'm going to pump hard and is a pickup now in 12-teamers. Lord Byron Mullens! After trading their former starting 5 which we'll get in below, it's Mullens and Arnett Moultrie manning down the C fort in the abandon ship Sixers front line, with Mullens picked up for draft picks. I know Mullens is boring, but he was usable while with the Bobcats posting a 10.6/6.4/1.5/0.6/0.6 line with 1.2 treys in 27 minutes a game in 12-13. His sub-40 FG% blew, sure, but he's a perimeter shooter who can play decent D so I think he will get run. He's a lot better than Moultire in my opinion and I think will get big minutes. And I don't know why, maybe it's because he looks so goofy or maybe because he's been in the league 5 years, but Mullens is actually only 25 when I thought he might be 30. For a team tanking, he's a perfect acquisition to help rack up points to try and fill maybe 2 more seats a night in Philly. "Thanks for coming Mr. and Mrs. Mullens!" Here's what else went down yesterday, starting with NBA deadline deals:Please, blog, may I have some more?

So… It was a ridiculous weekend of injuries with the NBA pulling its best NFL impression. "Look how many people we can hurt too!" Right now the safest big sport might be hockey… The survivors of this NBA-wide injury bug should barricade themselves in a giant prison. OK, so that's not exactly the best analogy… Look out for the Governor! Arguably the biggest injury over the weekend was another knee giving out for Derrick Rose, who tore his meniscus and is having surgery some time today. This is about the worst thing that could've happened for fantasy this season. No, not because I'm a Rose owner… But because of all the Rose questions! Of course this would happen for a second straight year. So obligatory memo, statement, press release – Razzball's official stance on answering questions on Rose will involve no guesses or speculation to his return! Well, Pete, Slim, & Dan can… I guess. But I'm not doing this again! "Hey JB, when's the end of the world?" "When am I going to win the lottery?" "How in God's green earth did the Patriots win last night?" "When will the Spurs finally kick out all the vets and give Kawhi Leonard superstar touches?!" I just don't have the answers! We saw Russell Westbrook go down with a meniscus injury, only to need a second clean-up surgery. Rose has said he's leaning towards a reattachment procedure that would cost him the season, plus Rose has his other knee just off the ACL. His knees have gone the way of Kyle's knees in that South Park episode after his expletive-plasty. Hopefully Rose's surgeon is part-Borg and can get something mechanical going on in there. "He's more machine now than man…" Dude, I just crossed sci-fi swords there in a major fail… Here's what else went down across fantasy hoops over the weekend:Please, blog, may I have some more?
Heading into the upcoming Fantasy Basketball Season, Razzball will be interviewing local NBA beat writers for some actual in-depth basketball knowledge to shed some additional light on our fantasy basketball knowledge. Keep your eye out for an interview for every NBA team through the summer. This installment comes courtesy of Dave Rueter from leading Philadelphia 76ers blog Liberty Ballers.Please, blog, may I have some more?
It's that time of year when everything is predictable. You'll hear that Adam Sandler song as the token musical nod to Chanukah amidst an endless sea of long dead crooners and sentimal pop. Plastic nativities with blinking lights will adorn lawns like stars dotting the night sky.Please, blog, may I have some more?
After another solid game of 14 points, 11 rebounds, and 4 blocks, Marcin Gortat is looking like quite the deal from draft day. On Friday, he went 16/16 with 3 blocks, and on Halloween, he went 10/9 with 5 blocks. Before that, he had 14/11 with 4 blocks.Please, blog, may I have some more?
In terms of actual acquisition versus projected round/value, James Harden was one of the top three players in any draft I participted in. People were anxious to get a hold of the great bearded one. Why? Well, last night was a reason why.Please, blog, may I have some more?
The Sixers had to have been impressed by the performance of Jason Richardson last night, where he did what the Knicks deep threat couldn't (more on that later) and scored 6 of 12 from downtown, finishing with 23 points, 7 rebounds, 6 assists, 2 steals and a block.Please, blog, may I have some more?
Drew Gooden is like a cockroach. Just when you think his career is over, he resurrects in the Bucks frontcourt. Then he injures his wrist and misses some time, and you're thinking, "the joyride is over, right?" Wrong! And then he goes and tweaks his back in his first game back on the court, which has GOT to slow him down, right?Please, blog, may I have some more?
Entering this season, everyone (including this humble narrator) was weary of Dirk Nowitzki, which is a weird thing to be for a healthy reigning NBA Finals MVP. I saw him drop deep into the second round in more than a couple drafts.Please, blog, may I have some more?

On February 21st, the popular prospect site Hockey's Future released an updated list of the New Jersey Devil's top prospects.
Jon Merrill is still at the top of their list. The 8.0 talent rated defenseman has played in 32 games in the NHL this season and has 1 goal and 4 assists. Coming into the season, he was one of the two NHL-ready defenders that were expected to see some sort of playing time this season.
They had this to say about him:
There is a reason Merrill remained in the NHL with New Jersey over the explosive Gelinas. He still makes mistakes like any rookie, but he has impressed his teammates and the coaches with his high hockey IQ. Since he came back from an injury in November, Merill looks more comfortable and confident. He is not known for making highlight reel plays, but is smart and prevents scoring chances. Merrill is not a high scorer, but he picks his spots to jump into the action or make a critical pass. Before the Olympic break, he earned a healthy amount of playing time, especially on the second powerplay unit and penalty kill.
Right underneath him is another defensive prospect.
It's not Eric Gelinas, it's Damon Severson. Damon is currently playing in the WHL with the Kelwona Rockets and has 50 points in 52 games. He also retained his second spot.
Coming in 3rd, and moving up 3 spots is fan-favorite Eric Gelinas. Gelinas has played in 44 games in New Jersey and has 6 goals and 16 assists.
In 4th, Reid Boucher falls one spot as he is coming off of a highly-anticipated stint in New Jersey to make his NHL debut.
Rounding out the Top-5 is Keith Kinkaid who moved up 5 spots on their rankings as he is putting up spectacular numbers in Albany this season.
Full rankings and more details from their report will be posted in the coming days. Reaction will also be coming soon.

2010 Census:
Plans for Census Coverage Measurement Are on Track, but Additional Steps Will Improve Its Usefulness
GAO-10-324: Published: Apr 23, 2010. Publicly Released: Apr 23, 2010.
Additional Materials:
- Highlights Page:

(202) 512-2757
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
Assessing the accuracy of the census is essential given that census data are used to apportion seats in Congress, to redraw congressional districts, and for many other public and private purposes. The U.S. Census Bureau's (Bureau) Census Coverage Measurement program (CCM) is to assess the accuracy of the 2010 Census and improve the design of operations for the 2020 Census. In April 2008, GAO recommended that the Bureau identify how it would relate CCM results--where the 2010 Census was accurate and inaccurate--to census operations to improve future censuses. Knowing where the 2010 Census was inaccurate can help inform research to improve the 2020 Census. GAO was asked to examine (1) the status of CCM planning and (2) the effects of design decisions since GAO issued its April 2008 report. GAO reviewed Bureau documents related to CCM design and National Academy of Sciences reports, and interviewed responsible Bureau officials.
Since GAO's April 2008 report, the Bureau has finalized plans for 2010 CCM goals, the timing of operations, and the types of results to be produced. Planning continues in other areas, such as developing estimation methods, evaluating the CCM program, and implementing its Master Trace Project, which would enable the Bureau to link its datasets and systems to support a broad range of research. The deadlines for some of these plans have not yet passed, but the Bureau already has default plans in place in case further changes do not occur. In mid-December, the Director decided to make some additional changes to the CCM program to improve the quality of CCM results. GAO found that additional actions on Bureau decisions may make CCM more useful in informing Bureau decisions on future census and coverage measurement efforts: (1) The Bureau's 2020 planning efforts are described in a series of decision memoranda issued in the summer of 2009. However, the Bureau has not yet taken steps to integrate CCM results with early 2020 planning to prepare for a census test in 2014. By describing, for example, what the Bureau might learn from CCM or how the results might feed into 2020 Census planning, the Bureau will better ensure that there are no gaps or overlaps in the use of CCM for early 2020 planning. (2) In September 2009, the Bureau began its Master Trace Project, which is intended to ensure that its datasets and systems can be used together to support detailed research into the causes of census coverage problems and facilitate research on the possible interactions of future operations. At the time of this review, the Bureau had not yet completed an inventory of the census databases that might be of potential interest for future research, identified which archived versions might be most useful, or mapped out how they might be archived and linked. Doing this quickly will be important as the census is already underway and it will be difficult to make changes to database structures or archival and data storage plans if the Bureau's assessments determine that changes are necessary. (3) The Bureau reviewed its previous decision to start CCM's Person Interviewing operation later than it did in 2000, and decided in June 2009 not to change it. However, the Bureau does not have a plan to assess the trade-offs in error between earlier and later start dates. Additional research on the trade-offs of different start dates could help the Bureau more fully understand the implications of CCM timing decisions on the resulting estimates of coverage error and better determine the optimal timing of Person Interviewing in future censuses.
Recommendations for Executive Action
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: In June 2011, the Bureau released is business plan for the 2020 Census, including detailed descriptions of its research projects, including reference to use of the 2010 Census Coverage Measurement(CCM) results. This integration of the 2010 CCM results into 2020 planning will help ensure that the Bureau does not miss opportunity to design or target 2020 Census operations to improve their effectiveness or reduce cost.
Recommendation: To improve the usefulness of CCM for 2020, and to help the Bureau achieve its goal of using CCM to improve the 2020 Census, the Secretary of Commerce should require the Director of the U.S. Census Bureau to better document links between the 2010 CCM program and 2020 Census planning, integrating the goal of using the CCM program to improve Census 2020, such as with CCM results and data, into those broader plans for 2020.
Agency Affected: Department of Commerce

Comments: In June 2011, the Bureau created a data warehouse to be used for research throughout the coming decade for all 2010 decennial data resulting from the Master Trace Project, following a broad data call to identify gaps. In February 2013, the Bureau further formalized the data warehousing with an internal memorandum of understanding that laid out the process by which researchers could obtain data across data sets. This commitment to ensuring that the Bureau's far-reaching datasets are accessible for operations research will help support Bureau efforts to improve the effectiveness of future census operations.
Recommendation: To improve the usefulness of CCM for 2020, and to ensure that Bureau datasets from the 2010 Census can be used with other Bureau datasets to support research that could improve the census and CCM, the Secretary of Commerce should require the Director of the U.S. Census Bureau to complete the Master Trace Project's assessment of how key census and CCM data systems are, or can be, linked to each other; identify any potential data gaps; and identify other related steps for future action.
Agency Affected: Department of Commerce
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: In June 2011, the Bureau released its business plan for the 2020 Census, including detailed descriptions of its research projects, including descriptions of research designed to answer the question of what is the optimal timing for CCM data collection. This assessment will help ensure that the Bureau's decisions for the timing of CCM in 2020 will be well-justified and will minimize the risk of errors entering it measures of census quality.
Recommendation: To improve the usefulness of CCM for 2020, and to help the Bureau better determine the optimal timing of future coverage measurement data collection, the Secretary of Commerce should require the Director of the U.S. Census Bureau to fully assess the trade-offs between starting the data collection earlier, with the possibility of introducing contamination errors, and starting later, with the possibility of introducing recall errors.

How to install external Bluetooth adapter inside the laptop
Before I started hacking my laptop, I installed Bluetooth software and tested if the new adapter works fine. As you see on the picture below, the Bluetooth icon in the SysTray is active and the mobile phone is detected.
For this modification you'll need:
1. Laptop disassembly experience. Here are service manuals for some laptops.
2. Soldering skills and tools as I mentioned in the power jack repair post.
3. Inexpensive USB Bluetooth 2.0 adapter. You can find it even cheaper in this only for experienced technicians. If you have no experience you can (and most likely will) damage your laptop. Proceed on your own risk!
This guide should works for all laptop brands: Toshiba, Dell, HP/Compaq, IBM, Lenovo, Gateway, etc… as long as you have enough space to mount the Bluetooth module inside the laptop. http://www.papatek.com/LCD-Panel/
OK, here's how I did it.
First of all, I disassembled my laptop and found a place where I can install the Bluetooth adapter. In my guide I'm using a Toshiba Satellite A105 laptop. I found enough empty space in the top right corner of the laptop.
My idea was simple. Disassemble the Bluetooth adapter, remove the Bluetooth module and solder it to one of the USB ports. I decided to use one of the USB ports located in the lower right corner.
NOTE: After this modification is done, you will not be able to use that particular USB port with any other USB device, it will not work because it's dedicated to the Bluetooth module. But I think it's not a big deal because most laptops have 3-4 USB ports. http://www.papatek.com/Cell-Phone-Accessories/
I found some thin wires laying around.
Make sure that wires are long enough for your project.
Now you'll have to disassemble the adapter. I easily split the adapter case with a sharp knife and removed the Bluetooth module.
Unsolder the USB connector.As you see on the picture below, the Bluetooth module easily fits into the empty place inside the laptop.
I soldered four wires to the Bluetooth module. I used terminals for the USB connector.
After that I soldered four wires to four contacts on the back of the USB connector. Be careful. Make sure all wires are connected correctly.
At the last step I installed the Bluetooth module into the place and routed wires from the module to the USB port. I had to reroute the wires a few times to make sure that I can install the top cover and it seats properly. I secured wires to the motherboard with electrical tape.
Finally, assembled the laptop and tested it. There is no on/off hardware switch for the Bluetooth module but I can turn it on and off through software.
The Bluetooth adapter has been installed INSIDE the laptop and works flawlessly!

This is the problem with game reviews today. The top 15 reviews so far have all given Bioshock infinite 100 out of 100. I.E. a perfect score. This by definition suggests that this is the perfect game. Pack up and go home games industry, bioshock infinite is the best there will ever be.
However, each and every one of them mention negatives in their review that there are some negatives. So the game has been given a perfect score at the end, but throughout the review there are negatives. We reach this curious problem where a perfect score does not mean a perfect game.
A few people have argued that this score simply represents maximum enjoyment, or simply that this is a industry changing game. But neither of these arguments hold water. If the reviewer had the maximum enjoyment they could possibly have, then why were there negatives that they admit detracted from the experience?
What about the score being representative of how innovative and industry changing the game is? This falls straight out of the gate, breaking it's neck and being put down by a vet with a shotgun in a tent on the track. You only need to look at the reviews for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 to see how laughable that proposition is. A game that brought nothing new to the industry has multiple 100 scores.
So what does the score mean? Apparently nothing. If it were a scale of how good a game was, 100 would mean perfect. If it were a scale of how enjoyable a game was, a 100 score should have no negatives that detract from the experience. And if it were a scale of innovativeness, then no call of duty game should have ever gotten a 100.
But this problem is not limited to metacritic. Its a far more widespread problem, as you can see by this image below:
If reviews were fair, using the scale as it was designed to be used, then these graphs should both be a perfect bell curve. The majority of games should be good, with the better ones being great, and the best being excellant. However IGN's average score is 8.0, which according to their website is Great, "If you play a lot of games, then you have got to play this one". Uh-uh. So your mean score of all of the games you have reviewed are games that we "have got to play". This smacks of something fundamentally wrong with the rating system.
Gamespot is better, with an average score of 7. This translate to good according to their website. This is a better mean score, but the bell curve is still heavily shifted to the right. This means that the scores are heavily inflated, according to their own scoring system. When scores were first introduced in Game Player's magazine, the average score was 5. Statistically this makes sense, and is correct. But you can clearly see how this has shifted up. It's not for me to speculate as to the cause of this upwards shift, but the internet is always abound with rumours of publishers heavily leaning on reviewers for a better score.
From the mid 90's onwards reviewers started reffering to below 5 as 'garbage' or 'poor'. This was the start of the 7 point average, and the skewing the entire scale towards the higher scores. Next time you see a review, have a look at the actual content of the review and make up your own score using all the numbers 1-10. I think you'll find an average of 5 will soon emerge.

Martha Stewart's American Made Awards
Image from Heather Jones, Olive and Ollie
There's some exciting stuff going on right now in the small business and modern quilting world. Martha Stewart and Martha Stewart Living are hosting a competition, hoping to find some creative small businesses to support.
Heather Jones of Olive and Ollie (and fellow Quilt Camp teacher!) is one of the 100 finalists for the Audience Choice Awards! The winner receives $10,000 to help further their business and as you can imagine, lots of national exposure. For anyone that has tried to start a venture on their own, you know this is a huge deal and could really be life changing. I love entrepreneurs and am really excited that the Modern Quilting community is represented in this contest.

If you feel compelled to vote, I'd love for you to check out Heather's page and give her your support. You can vote once a day through September 24th and every person counts. Thanks everyone!

Welcome Christa Quilts ~ Plus Gift Card Giveaway
Today I'd like to introduce you to my newest sponsor, Christa Quilts! Christa started selling fabric online about 9 years ago when a former quilting student suggested she sell some of her leftover fabrics on eBay. Before then, she taught quilting classes and sold quilts on commission.
About 6 years ago, Christa's husband Jason suggested she make it their full-time business and they've never looked back! He keeps the website running smoothly (his passion) and Christa get to play with all the fabric and design interesting quilt patterns and kits (her passion).

She also offers individual precut fat quarters on nearly every fabric in the shop (as well as bundles).
One of the best parts of Christa's shop is FREE US shipping with no minimum purchase required. Orders are shipped within 24 hours of purchase and she can usually accommodate same day requests. She ships internationally, too for a flat $10 rate, anywhere across the world.

Welcome Stash Fabric and a Giveaway!
I'm excited to start off this week by sharing with you my latest sponsor, Stash Fabrics. This Etsy based fabric shop located in Georgia and is owned by Beth Louche. One of my favorite things about Beth's shop (besides all the great fabric of course) is that she offers free US shipping on all US orders $50 or more and discounts equivalent to domestic shipping on international orders.
A few weeks ago I blogged about Art Gallery's new line, Indie. It is just now arriving in stores, and Stash Fabrics has it!
Beth also has the hugely popular new Tula Pink release, The Birds and the Bees. (Also something I'm working with right now!) And I really love that you can order Fat Quarter sets. My favorite is the Sunset palette.
I'm a huge fan of the Cloud 9 organics, both Ed Emberley's Happy Drawing collection…
and Simpatico – I have the stripes, I love the stripes.
Ombre is super hot right now, and the more I see these dots, the more they tempt me.
And Storybook Lane! Also newly released. LOVE the cuckoo clocks!
You can follow Stash on Facebook to receive updates on sales, giveaways, and NEW fabric. Beth expects to receive Anna Maria Horner's Field Study, Denyse Schmidt's Chicopee, Heather Ross's Nursery-Versy, Sweetwater's Mama Said Sew, and many more chevrons this month, so keep an eye on her shop.
And now for the giveaway! Beth is generously giving away a Fat Quarter bundle of Art Gallery's new Indie line in the Midnight Temple colorway.
All you need to do to enter is leave a comment! If you'd like a second entry, "Like" Stash Fabrics on Facebook and leave an additional comment saying you did just that. I will pick a winner Wednesday, August 8th in the evening.
Good luck everyone and thanks again for supporting my sponsors!
+++ Closing comments to pick a winner +++
The winner is #110! Elsa said "Great shop and even greater prices! I'm buying one of the FQ packs by Art Gallery! Thanks so much for the giveaway!"
Congratulations Elsa! I will email you for your address. Thank you for commenting everyone!

In a string of nine tweets this past Saturday, Solange wrote that R&B has long been experimental, and expressed frustration at music critics for, "acting like it just popped off last year." She suggested a familiarity with Brandy as a pre-requisite for writing about R&B. Now, whether or not an extensive knowledge of Brandy's back-catalog is really key to thoughtful writing, her albums are a pleasure to revisit, marked by incomparable singing and well-chosen production (from Rodney "Darkchild" Jerkins, Kanye West, Sean Garrett and more). We've assembled 14 favorites, spanning Brandy's five studio albums.

"People are so used to me singing love songs, so it's hard to accept the rap side of who I am. But I always tease my team, like, so Justin Bieber can rap and Chris Brown can rap and Lil Wayne can sing, but I can't get my cadence on?"
posted 30 November, 2012
Brandy, the church singer turned mega-selling sitcom actress turned Dancing With the Stars contestant, is currently at the crest of a musical comeback. Her light-on-its-feet new album, Two Eleven, named after February 11th, the day of her own birth and mentor Whitney Houston's death, debuted at number three on the US charts and produced a top ten single in "Put it Down," Brandy's first song to perform as well in a decade. "Put It Down" was produced by Bangladesh and Sean Garrett, Brandy's main collaborators on the record, which also features R&B newcomers Mike Will Made It and Switch, guys who made their names with rap hits like "Bands a Make Her Dance" and hyperspeed, experimental beats for M.I.A. and Major Lazer, respectively. Here's a look at songs that pair R&B writers and producers like Garrett and Dawn Richard with rap innovators like Bagladesh, Will, Zaytoven and Polow da Don. Garrett wasn't the first guy to make crisp, mid-tempo R&B ballads that comfortably incorporate the space and knock of rap production, but he's been an unsung proponent of it and had a hand in many of these songs, like the blinking piano line of Diddy Dirty Money's "Loving You No More" and the happy, marching band cheese of Kelly Rowland's "Like This." There's also a pair of moody tracks written and produced by Rodney "Darkchild" Jerkins for Brandy's 2002 album Full Moon, which holds up surprisingly well.

I have proof the DS Lite owns the PSP.
by, 30th March 2009 at 12:43 PM (527 Views)
And it's not just Pokemon.
I turn on my DS Lite today and am horrified. The line grew! I cry.
I turn it on later, and now there's a single rouge pixel, just randomly placed near the top right of the screen. My DS sorted itself out!
If a PSP screen broke, it'd die. Dead. But no! The DS Lite was installed with a Revive, so it's all good.
But, on the bad side,
my Sixth Form is going to be the death of me. If I don't get this stuff in on Thursday, I'll be failed. FAILED.

10-23-14: Deliverance
Beth Rodden on Deliverance, v8
BetaBase is officially out of hibernation mode, as things are starting to cool down a bit. There is some catching up to do with old posts, and here is a video of beth climbing Deliverance, v8 at the Lost Boulders.
There aren't too many hard crack boulder problems in Yosemite. In fact, there are basically 3: Bachar Cracker, v4; Deliverance, v8; and Sasquatch, v11.
The boulder can be a bit hard to find. The Cedar Boulder is a good reference point, but you have to meander into the woods from there. If someone has the GPS coordinates, please share and I will post them.

Joel Ruscher on Single Subject [v9]
After a bit of a hiatus, Joel Ruscher is back in the game. A few weekends back, Joel nabbed the first ascent of this cool squeeze arete. As you may have gathered from the name, the climb is deceptively simple, and you feel like you could stick the pinch every go (until you don't).
The problem is located just to the right of the Infamous Dark Crystal problem at the Ahwahnee boulders. This time, we have video proof...

12-19-12: Pinball Wizard Revisted
Theo Merrin on Pinball Wizard [v6]
Since it seems that Pinball Wizard has become fashionable again, I thought I would post a video to update the original post, which only had pictures. Pinball Wizard is a climb that demands more skill than strength, and many people will find it difficult to trust the smear at the crux lip encounter. Don't let the name scare you, I haven't seen anyone bounce of the back wall...yet....

6-28-12: Goldilocks
Raza on the first ascent of Goldilocks [v9]
Here is a blast from the past. I got the FA in May of 2009. This is a problem in Bridalveil facing the Meat & Potatoes wall. Not many holds, but just enough to get you by. (You can say that about many Yosemite boulder problems, though) It all boils down to a dyno to a decent edge, but you have to grab the hold just right, hence the name: Goldilocks.
Here is Randy Puro on the second ascent.

6-19-12: Wild Pack of Family Dogs
Lyn Barraza climbing Wild Pack of Family Dogs [v7]
Went climbing in Tahoe the last few weekends and checked out the Beavers for the first time. Seems like every time I go to Tahoe a new area pops up. Serious props to all the Tahoe guys who are out exploring and finding new stuff.
The Beavers has a fairly good concentration of boulders, so it is easy to spend a day there. One of the better climbs I thought was Wild Pack of Family Dogs, v7. Just wait until the shade arrives.
The first move is pretty big, if you are shorter, so it was pretty cool to see Lyn make the span. Thanks also to Evan for inspiring me to keep posting on BetaBase.

One Amazing Fall

Action Alert - Act today to help preserve bouldering in Yosemite
TODAY IS THE LAST DAY the National Park Service is accepting comments on the Merced River Plan (MRP). Please follow this LINK and copy and paste the text below to help preserve bouldering access in Yosemite Valley. Please post comments to this post when you have submitted your comments, so I can stop bugging you!!
* Please cut & paste the text below in the the first field * Alter or add as you like *
Here are my comments regarding the Issues addressed in the Merced River Plan Workbook:
- Issue 7: I prefer option C - the only two options provided in the MRP Workbook to reduce river bank impacts at the Upper and Lower Pines Campgrounds are to eliminate or relocate campsites that are near the river. I believe that before these options are considered, efforts should first be made to fence and sign the areas of the riverbank to be protected, as has been done at Devil's Elbow, and then design river access points in resilient locations and restore riparian areas to natural conditions.
- Issue 9: I prefer option B - more primitive / rustic camping should be created.
- Issue 10: I prefer option C - replace existing bridges with foot bridges designed to enhance the free-flowing condition of the river.
- Issue 12: I prefer option B - restore visitor use opportunities at upper and lower river campgrounds.
- Issue 15: I prefer option A - the installation of a roundabout and under-crossing for pedestrians to relieve congestion.
- Issue 19: I prefer option A - develop more camping to increase capacity.
- Issue 20: I prefer option D - the installation of a pedestrian underpass to allow access to Lower Yosemite Falls. Relocating the lodge entrance or an overpass don't seem practical and won't work.
- Issue 22: I prefer option D - the Merced River Gorge segment west of Pohono Bridge has a number of popular climbing areas, including Cookie Cliff, the Rostrum, Reed's Pinnacle, Elephant Rock, and many others bouldering areas. Climber parking and approach access to these areas should be retained and improved to reduce impacts. Curbing to formalize parking areas may eliminate many parking areas for smaller climbing and bouldering areas that planners might not know about.
- Issue 23: I prefer option A - develop more camping to increase capacity
* Please cut & paste the text below in the the second field * Alter or add as you like *
As a climber who boulders in Yosemite Valley frequently, here are some additional thoughts:
- The bouldering in Yosemite Valley is universally regarded as some of the best in world. The unique combination of rock quality, rock features, boulder sizes and quantity make the bouldering in Yosemite an Outstandingly Remarkable Value (ORV) that should be protected. Additionally, climbing has a long a significant history in Yosemite Valley.
- Bouldering requires a large amount of gear that makes using shuttle services impractical. Therefore maintaining and increasing the level of recreational parking is critical.
- The bouldering at Camp 4 is considered the birthplace of modern bouldering and has the largest quantity of all the bouldering areas in Yosemite Valley. The site of the former gas station was previously used by boulders for parking but has since been used as a staging area for the recent road improvement projects. I strongly recommend this area be reconfigured into a day use parking when the road improvements are completed.
- The recent reduction of parking in the Ahwahnee Hotel lot has adversely effected climbers as there is a large bouldering area at the base of the talus field and many climbing areas (Royal Arches, etc) are access from this point.
- A permitted parking system would adversely affect those who boulder because of the quantity of gear required for our recreation. There are no reasonable alternatives to transporting the gear in our cars and parking near the bouldering areas.
- The Park should ensure climbing needs are addressed in the MRP, particularly parking locations throughout the Valley and the Merced Gorge segments. Where appropriate, roadside parking should be paved to reduce impacts and moved off the shoulder to improve safety.
- More access options to lesser attractions in the Park and surrounding area rather than regulatory solutions such as day-use reservations, parking permits and closures. All reasonable day-use parking facilities should be developed or improved in the Valley, including Camp 6, Curry Village, and the wilderness parking lot.

Merced River Plan: Update
- Yosemite planners should work to reverse lodging/camping ratio (currently 60/40) to provide more camping and less emphasis on lodging (move lodging to the park boundaries). Providing more camping in the Park, and limiting lodging in the park to rustic/primitive accommodations, is consistent with the NPS's own management policies that promote visitors having a direct relationship to Park resources. Adjusting this ratio would also be more consistent with a national park instead of the luxury resort or amusement park that Yosemite often resembles.
- Park planners should include in the MRP the several "improvements" for Camp 4 that were contemplated in Lodge Redevelopment Plan (which was stalled by the MRP litigation). These improvements include showers, fencing to encourage vegetation, limited loud bus noise, foul weather cooking pavilion and communal fire, and a nearby location for Ken Yager's Yosemite climbing museum. In addition to focusing on more camping in the Park, planners should also improve the quality of the camping experience, especially at locations such as Camp 4 where climbers are forced into highly dense and low-quality campsites. Planners should recognize the historic importance of this campground and improve some of the basic amenities such as the bathrooms.
- Yosemite planners should restore as much camping as possible to sites that have already been disturbed such as the Pine and Oak lodging units and the Rivers Campground that were destroyed in the 1997 flood. These areas in particular could be engineered with the recognition that they will again be flooded. Plan maps should indicate flood plain areas where shallow flood depths and low water velocities make the development of campsites feasible. Planners should establish diversity of camping opportunities (including walk-in, walk-to, and a "drop-off" your gear but walk-in model) and not just limit opportunities to drive-in campgrounds (where RV generators, for example, impact the experience) or the ghetto at Camp 4. The Park should bring campsite numbers at least back to pre-flood totals as contemplated in Yosemite's General Management Plan (there's currently a shortfall of 300 campsites), but any new sites should be focused on placement in the East Valley so that the largely undisturbed areas west of Camp 4 don't also suffer from campfire smoke and new infrastructure.
- The Park should ensure climbing needs are addressed in the MRP, particularly parking locations throughout Valley and the Merced Gorge segment (Cookie Cliff, Arch Rock, etc.).
- Park planners should ensure that measures to restore or harden El Cap Meadow are not unsightly from above. The MRP should consider hybrid approach for boardwalk further west of typical climber use areas, and use fencing and other ways to focus people onto a few discrete paths into Meadow. The MRP should ensure that climbers can continue their traditional use of the Meadow.
- Park planners should ensure that there is adequate day use parking while pursuing a range of transit strategies to reduce auto use in the Valley.
- The Plan should include a noise control element that addresses noise sources such as idling tour buses, motorcycles, trash collection, RV generators, the Green Dragon touring flatbeds and others.

Geneva 2011: Fiat surprises with hot little 500 Coupe by Zagato

Fiat 500 Coupé Zagato – Click above for high-res image gallery Most of the time we come to major auto shows knowing exactly what to expect. But once in a while an automaker throws us a curveball we weren't anticipating. Like Fiat did, for example, with this Zagato-bodied 500. Unfortunately just a concept (for the time being anyway), the 500 Coupé Zagato is actually a throwback to a similar coachbuilding joint-effort from the 1950s. The sleeker bodywork features Zagato's trademark double-bubble roof and almond-shaped side glass, lacquered in special three-layer Pop... Read More
