Lots of pillowcases, no photo...........
I didn't feel like sewing when I got home so I did more cleaning of the cutting table. Now you can imagine what a mess there was when it takes me parts of 2 days to clean it all off. I found the 3 crazy pieced blocks in the photo above.
I also found this little group of Kaffe scraps, all 3" tall but different widths. I thought about trimming them all to 1.25" wide and making a Chinese Coin little quilt, but maybe I'll leave them all different sizes and border them all with a solid color (or more than one) and then trim to blocks all one size.

I say keep the Kaffe pieces all different widths. It will be more interesting. You all really worked hard on the pillowcases! Sounds like you will definitely meet your goal by December.

I agree with Jackie, you guys are really doing a great job on the pillowcases, only 10 more to do! And the Kaffe pieces, they'd also make great centers for wonky log cabin blocks. I love the crazy pieced blocks, somehow the one at the top right calls out to me even more than the others!

It's a great life when you can say "I also found..." in a post. That alone wakes one to nothing but possibilities, possibilities, possibilities. *karendianne. cheering for pillows, too.

I would make a coin quilt with them in the different widths. Coins are not all the same thickness, so it seems like that would make it more "realistic" (but I am all for saving the extra work and fabric too.)

Isn't it amazing what you find when you clean up? It is almost like a treasure hunt! The Kaffe scraps will make a lovely coin quilt. I too say go with the different widths.

two days to clean off your table! you must have been busy lately!!My table sometimes gets bad but it is small so it doesn't take much to get it cleared off. Have a great day.

- Brita said...
You don't want to keep any more scraps than you already have. Really. They just get in the way of progress. So, just because I think you're great and a generous soul, I'd be willing to take those Kaffe scraps off your hands. No, no, don't thank me. What are quilt-y friends for?

- Needled Mom said...
Your guys really got a lot of productive work done there. Wow!
Your scrapy blocks look great and I know those KF rectangles will be stunning when you are finished with them.
- November 9, 2010 at 8:43 AM
- Muddling Through said...
Oh, yippee!! More little goodies to play with. I have absolute confidence that you will find the perfect use for them.
- November 9, 2010 at 10:02 AM

Those Kaffe's would make a great piano key border. Different widths = more interest! I think that one on the top right is one of my all-time faves.
- November 9, 2010 at 2:37 PM
- Cathi said...
I'd keep those all the different widths too. I found a group of Oriental rectangles I'd cut and now I"m playing with ideas of how I'll use them.
- November 9, 2010 at 3:24 PM
I'm sure every one of those pillow cases will be enjoyed to fullest. 50 is a great gift for them.
Your 'crazy' blocks always make me smile. Wish I could find the treasures you do when I clean off my cutting table.
- November 9, 2010 at 4:01 PM
Would you like to come and clean off my sewing table? Oh,and there are the piles underneath too. You know, the ones that wouldn't stay stacked up on the table any longer. I've never had such a mess in all the years I have sewn and quilted, but I do have a lot to show for it. And as always, you do too. Lovely work for those who will benefit from your pillow cases. I agree with others that different widths with the KF strips would be awesome. I thought I was the only person on the face of the earth who still had a bit of a stash from the 1980s! Best wishes!

Time is of the essential now for the Washington Wizards.
They cannot afford any losses as they get set to take on the lowly Phoenix Suns here on Friday night.
Washington Wizards
The Wizards have just kind of hung around in the Eastern Conference.
They never really have made a move this year, but never have fallen out of it either. Washington currently sits in 10th place, 3.5 games behind the Indiana Pacers for the 8 seed as they get a chance to pick up some ground against the Suns here.
The Wizards have struggled on their current west coast swing, losing back to back games to the Warriors and now the Kings. The loss to the Kings hurt exceptionally as they cannot afford losses as it is, but to a sub .500 it makes things even worse .
Washington will close things out on this trip against the Clippers on Sunday, before heading home to take on the Nets. The schedule is there to at least make things interesting, but now the pressure is really on and wins are a must no matter who the opponent is.
Phoenix Suns
The Suns still have a chance at getting the worst record in the West, somehow.
Phoenix sits just 4.0 games ahead of the Lakers for the last spot. This team had won 3 of 5 which looked like their most impressive stretch on the season. However, since that time they have lost 4 straight games and look very bad doing it.
In Wednesday's loss to Milwaukee, the Suns turned it over 22 times. That's been a common theme for them on the season, as they simply are too careless with the basketball.
They could also be without one of their main scorers here too.
F Mirza Teletovic continues to battle an illness and even after missing Wednesday, he's considered day to day. With Teletovic possibly down, look for Brandon Knight and Devin Booker to really need to step their games up.
NBA Betting Trends:
- WAS are 5-11 ATS in their last 16 vs. NBA Pacific.
- Under is 7-2 in PHO last 9 overall.
- PHO are 3-8 ATS in their last 11 Fri. games.

- Favorite is 10-4 ATS in the last 14 meetings.
Free Washington Wizards vs. Phoenix Suns NBA Prediction:
Don't sleep on this Washington team just yet.
They have the potential to make one last desperate run and while the loss to the Kings did no favors for them, they certainly have the talent to string together some wins.
4* Free NBA Betting Pick: Wizards ATS
The Wizards have no problem here behind John Wall as they cruise to a lopsided win and continue to put the pressure on the teams ahead of them.

This project can become just about any 4 legged Critter you desire, by adding the desired color outer layer of wool & features.
I started with 22 gauge florists wire and twisted a basic shape.
Next I took some wool yarn that I had spun, and wrapped the armature. I made a small tight ball of the yarn to fit inside the loop of wire for the head.
Next I started adding small amounts of core wool, wrapping it around the body, and started carefully needle felting it on using a 36S needle, working very carefully & slowly so I didn't hit the wire. What seemed to work the best is to poke parallel to the wire, if you get what I mean.
I added small balls of core wool to the bottom of each foot, because I didn't like how close the wire was to them.
Now just keep slowly poking & shaping & adding core wool to end up with the shape you want...this could end up being a wide variety of different kritters, using this basic wire armature. Most importantly, work slowly & carefully, so that you get it well felted & do not break any needles.

New filing requirements have come into force for small companies in Northern Ireland
Access to information held about any of the 3.6 million companies at Companies House has become effortless over recent years, and generally can be accessed free of charge within a few minutes on any smart device.
Following the introduction of the Companies, Partnerships and Groups (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2015, the financial information that will be available at Companies House is changing.
Under the new regulations however, small companies (excluding micro entities) registered in the UK no longer have the option of filing abbreviated accounts at Companies House. For those entities, abbreviated accounts have been abolished.
The regulations will be mandatory for accounting periods beginning on, or after, January 1, 2016, although early adoption is permitted, and some local companies are already taking advantage of the new regime.
The new regulations introduce the principle of 'file what you prepare', so, from the above date, a small company may prepare and file full accounts; or, 2) prepare and file 'abridged' accounts, or, 3) prepare and file 'filleted' accounts.
Small companies have always had the option to file full statutory accounts, instead of availing of any relevant exemptions available. It is unlikely that this will be the preferred option for many businesses, as it may involve lengthy disclosures and more detailed financial statements.
Abridged accounts are a new concept introduced by the new regulations. In this context, abridged accounts permit the profit and loss account to start at the gross profit/loss line, and also reduces the analysis required on the face of the balance sheet. All members must approve the abridgement and this fact must be stated on the balance sheet. The directors will need to obtain this consent every year. This option is not available to charitable companies.
Filleted accounts are likely to be the most popular option for small companies going forward, due to the similarity to the former abbreviated accounts. Filleted accounts use an exemption contained within section 444(1) of the Companies Act 2006, and permit the exclusion of the directors' report and the profit and loss account from the accounts filed. The balance sheet must state that this exemption is being utilised.
There is also a provision within section 444 of the Act that permits the exclusion of the audit report for those small companies who are audited, provided that certain disclosures are made elsewhere in the financial statements.
Of perhaps greater significance is the fact that the new regulations have increased the small company thresholds, meaning more companies will be able to avail of the above.
A company will qualify as small if it meets two of the three following thresholds:
1. turnover of £10.2m;
2. total assets of £5.1m;
3. employee numbers, 50.
The government announced in 2016 that the audit threshold will also increase, to retain the alignment with the small company definition.
The increased audit threshold is not available for early adoption, but will come into effect for periods beginning on or after January 1, 2016.

Bassist Nathan Navarro teamed up with singer Dylan Patrello to form the electronic duo Dot, even though the pair live in different parts of the world and come from different musical backgrounds.
"Dylan and Nathan collaborate online while being thousands of miles away as Dylan is most often in Texas and Brazil while Nathan spends time in California and Massachusetts," the duo explains. "Dot is a fusion of Dylan's folk, pop and singer/songwriter style with Nathan's metal, electronic and progressive sounds."
The result is a cool mix of folk, pop, metal and dubstep.

Hardcore shooting action

Straightforward barrage shooting from Y-NRG System. If you played their previous STG, Reincarnation, you'll feel at home with this game. Easy to pick up and get into, but has enough challenge and enough stages to keep you playing on. I'm a big fan of Y-NRG so picked this up as soon as it became available on the ENG DLsite. But I guess it might be too simple for some people, say those who like the more modern-style manic shooters. If in doubt, give the demo a try!

Issue Date: January 3/10, 2011, Posted On: 1/10/2011, Written By Jonathan Trivers,
Do you want the miracle Amish fireplace?
Have you seen the full page newspaper ad with the miracle Amish fireplace that is free as long as you buy the wood mantle for $298 that has been hand made by Amish workers in Ohio? And you see a picture of three Amish workers, in proper Amish attire, surrounded by old furniture making equipment in an old barn building. It just seeps with quality, trustworthiness and all-around goodness.
And the heater? It is, in their words, a "miracle heater;" it uses no more electricity than a coffee maker. This "free miracle heater" will keep you warm in the winter and "slash your heating bills." And you get the Heat Surge Roll-n-Glow fireplace which uses a flameless technology that looks like a flame. Wow! Too good to be true? Yep, and you know what that means. It is too good to be true.
The owner, who is not Amish, said that they have sold 1 million of these gems in three years. Guess what? The mantle is constructed by Amish workers in Ohio, but the actual heater is a regular old electricity sucking piece of junk made in China. The comparison to a coffee maker? It is true if the coffee maker is on 24 hours a day, every day of the winter. Then the heater, which should be on for short spurts during the day, will use less electricity. To me, it is doubly disgusting to use a group of people who are known for their commitment to old basic principles of fairness and quality — and wrap them around this pathetic and phony marketing effort.
Of course, we have our own (Lowe's and Home Depot) miracle installation carpet price of $39 or $97 whole house carpet installation. No Amish; but otherwise it is exactly the same kind of disgraceful marketing.
Today, when you go into a Home Depot store, they have point of purchase materials comparing their whole house installation price against the "theirs." And a comparison of their carpet with check marks for soft carpet and no checkmark under "theirs." "Theirs" refers to all you floor covering specialty stores.
Of course, the comparison used their phony price against a flooring retailer's true price of installation which of course includes the price to pick up the old carpet and dispose of same. I mean, really, when is the last time you installed carpet in an existing home that didn't have flooring in it? Zero. And how many customers have said we will pick up the carpet and take it away ourselves? Almost zero.
So they take a stupid price, add on all of the elements of regular installation (pick up old carpet, dispose of old carpet, move furniture, deliver carpet to home, measuring carpet and more) so that the $97 becomes $500 plus depending on the size of the home.
And here's a new fee: Home Depot will charge you $8.95 for each Martha Stewart carpet sample swatch (6 x 9-inch) you want to look at in your home to pick the right color. It is refundable if you buy from Home Depot. If not, you are out the price of measuring (generally $50) and the swatches you wanted to look at (on average four swatches or $36) for a total of $86! Of course every retailer does that and more for free.
But even with all of this pathetic flim flam and slanderous comparisons to flooring stores, in the third quarter 2010, flooring sales were the same as storewide sales and did not outperform the company. You would think with the low price installation promise, the flooring division would be number one in sales increase.
What's a mother to do? Be a cost cutter not a truth cutter. Stay tuned.

Welcome Highly Sensitive Christians!
I offer biblical counseling for highly sensitive people; specializing in godly burden bearing, breaking soul ties, healing abuse & trauma, biblical deliverance from unclean spirits, discerning false doctrine, righteous use of the senses, hearing only from the Living God & serving others by the Holy Spirit in the area of your calling.
Telling Jesus, "I yoke myself to you."
For over a decade, I've counseled some of the most sensitive and gifted burden bearers on earth. Very sensitive Christians can carry heavy burdens for certain peoples or areas of ministry. In order to best serve God, we must learn how to yoke ourselves with Jesus to ease this burden.
For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
– Jesus. Son of God (Matthew 11:30)
After receiving salvation through Jesus Christ, sensitive people can begin to lay all heavy burdens with Jesus and seek God for deliverance from any trauma from the past.
Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. – 2 Corinthians 5:17
Because he has focused his love on me, I will deliver him. I will protect him because he knows my name. When he calls out to me, I will answer him. I will be with him in his distress. I will deliver him, and I will honor him. – Psalm 91:14-15
Beyond laying our burdens down and being delivered from trauma, God has offered all Christians the baptism of the Holy Spirit, which we can ask for. The subsequent overflowing of the Holy Spirit manifests in nine ways: intercessory healing; prophetic utterances; discernment of spirits; word of wisdom; word of knowledge; faith; tongues; and interpretation of tongues.
The life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ has enabled you to live in right relationship with the Father and the bible shows us what this looks like. If you're stuck or stagnating in your faith, make sure you are spending time in the Word. If you feel resistant to reading the bible daily, spiritual warfare prayer is strongly recommended. If you are wounded in the soul and have not been victorious in overcoming these hurts, consider biblical counseling sessions by Skype.
In Crisis? Text HOME anytime for help.
Are Sensitive People in the Bible? Yes.
And the LORD said unto him, Go through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem, and set a mark upon the foreheads of the men that sigh and that cry for all the abominations that be done in the midst thereof. – Ezekiel 9:4
God is showing us here that He sees those who sigh and cry over the abominations of this earth and He marked them for protection. See the articles on this website for more instances of burden bearers in the bible.
Can Sensitivity Help Me Better Serve God? Yes.
In 1 Corinthians 12, we learn that God calls some people to serve Him as apostles, prophets, evangelists, teachers and pastors. These positions require sensitivity to God's Holy Spirit. We also learn that those who are in the Body of Christ who seem more "infirm," "unseemly" and "lacking" have "anxiety" for one another. Verses 22-26 (below) suggest that this burden that we bear for others is there so that we strive for unity within the Body of Christ. The Bible tells us there is both necessity & potentially greater honor in this design.
(Young's Literal Translation)
22 But much more the members of the body which seem to be more infirm are necessary,
23 and those that we think to be less honourable of the body, around these we put more abundant honour, and our unseemly things have seemliness more abundant,
24 and our seemly things have no need; but God did temper the body together, to the lacking part having given more abundant honour,
25 that there may be no division in the body, but that the members may have the same anxiety for one another,
26 and whether one member doth suffer, suffer with [it] do all the members, or one member is glorified, rejoice with [it] do all the members.

Break Curses of Ungodly Affections: Prayer of Freedom From Soul TiesSoul ties are disproportionate bonds or feelings that can form with people, pets or even possessions. Many sensitive people report having an unexplained profound spiritual connection with another person that leads to temptation, sin or emotional dysfunction. Spiritually sensitive people report developing emotional or metaphysical soul ties to alternative healing practitioners, therapists, self-help leaders or what is generally termed "the spirit world" through deceptive spiritual forces declaring to be deceased loved ones, angels of light, benevolent beings or spiritual guardians. These ties form through unhealed soul wounds. The ties can be broken through the power and authority of Jesus Christ.
Please read the deliverance script linked below to learn more.

Deliverance From False Teachers & False DoctrineEphesians 4:14 ...That we should no longer be children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in the cunning craftiness of deceitful plotting,...
Sensitive friends, if you are willing, biblical counseling can lead you through a process of spiritual maturity in Christ Jesus that will not only set you free from worldly enslavement and suffering, but keep you wise to the wiles of the devil as you learn to stand firm on your steady course toward inheriting the Kingdom of the True and Living God.

Ed Sheeran's next single is Perfect
- Bang Showbiz
- 22 September 2017
Ed Sheeran's fourth single to be taken from his record-breaking album 'Divide' is 'Perfect'
Ed Sheeran has announced his next single is 'Perfect'.
The 26-year-old star has unveiled a lyric video to go with the fourth track from his latest record 'Divide', which sees him nominated for three Q Awards this year.
The 'Castle on the Hill' hitmaker could go home with the Best Track prize for 'Shape of You', Best Solo Artist and Best Act In The World Today at the annual ceremony, which takes place at London's Roundhouse on October 18.
Meanwhile, it seems the flame-haired star is already thinking about his next record as he recently shared a picture from the studio whilst on tour in the US.
Being on the road isn't stopping Ed working on new music as he took to Instagram on Monday (18.09.17), to share a picture of himself at a desk with a guitar and recording equipment.
He simply captioned the post: "Back in."
The 'Lego House' singer is on the road with his pal James Blunt and the latter recently said they may get to work together on the road or after the tour finishes.
Ed co-wrote 'Make Me Better' on the 'Don't Give Me Those Eyes' hitmaker's latest record 'The Afterlove'.
Asked if he'll collaborate with Ed again, James exclusively told BANG Showbiz: "I really enjoyed writing with Ed. Let's wait it out and see, I think we are enjoying touring at the moment.
"I think both of us are not necessarily in full writing mode at the moment, but we'll see."
The pop star has been riding high on the success of his 'Divide', which has been breaking records left right and centre, including becoming the first artist to ever hold all top five positions in the Official UK chart, with all 16 of the tracks from record making it into the top 20.
His next studio venture has been heavily tipped to be titled 'Subtract' - following the pattern of his three previous records, 'Divide', 'Multiply', and 'Plus'.
The titles of his future albums are already tattooed on his body.
He said recently: "It's kind of like 'Prison Break'. It's all there."

Teaser Trailer for John Krasinski's 'A Quiet Place' Starring Emily Blunt
"If they can't hear you, they can't hunt you." Paramount has unveiled the first mysterious teaser trailer for a horror thriller titled A Quiet Place, directed by and starring actor John Krasinski. Holy smokes this looks good, original, and thrilling. The film is about a family living quietly on a farm, keeping to themselves. Monsters (I think?) have taken over the world but they only hunt by sound, so if you stay quiet they can't find you. The teaser sets up the story quite well. Emily Blunt stars, along with Noah Jupe and Millicent Simmonds (who you may recognize as the fantastic deaf actress from Wonderstruck). Okay, so I am way into this. Helluva tease. The big scratches on the wall have me intrigued - what are dealing with here? How big? Is anyone else reminded of Pitch Black? I like all the sign language already. Can't wait to find out more.
Here's the very first teaser trailer for John Krasinski's A Quiet Place, direct from YouTube:
No official synopsis is available yet - it's a mystery.

"That's what he's planning for. And that's what we're planning for," Steinbrenner said on Wednesday, via CBS New York.
Rodriguez, 39, has $61 million owed to him by the Yankees and Steinbrenner opted to promote the hard work the former star has been putting in.
"He's fit," Steinbrenner said. "Alex is a hard worker. Alex will be ready. We'll just have to go from there, see how he does, see how he responds to playing every day in spring training. Point is, he's in good shape. And that's not surprising."

Department Of Education Throws Student Loan Lifeline To Teetering Charlotte Law School
Politico, Devos Reinstates Some Funding to Troubled For-Profit Law School:
The Trump administration has indicated that it plans to greenlight the flow of some federal student loans to the embattled for-profit law school whose funding the Obama administration cut off last year. Education Department officials last week told the Charlotte School of Law that they're "prepared" to disburse loans to students for the current semester, according to an email to students from school president Chidi J. Ogene that was obtained by POLITICO. Only students who previously received a federal loan in the fall will be eligible for the late spring disbursement, which Ogene said he expects by this Thursday.
- The backstory: After the Obama administration terminated the law school's funding in December, school officials began negotiating with the Education Department to allow some current students to receive loans for the spring. Obama Education officials proposed allowing the limited funding on the condition the school wind down its operations and eventually close. But school officials rejected that deal on Jan. 19, suggesting in a statement that they were holding out hope for friendlier treatment from the Trump administration.
- The infusion of funding is likely to help Charlotte School of Law stay afloat even as the state's attorney general has raised concerns about its operation. Representatives of North Carolina Attorney General Josh Stein, a Democrat, wrote in a letter to Education Secretary Betsy DeVos last month that they're worried that the school-which is under state investigation-is trying to run out the clock on federal loan forgiveness for its students. If the school collapses, Charlotte School of Law and its corporate parent, InfiLaw, would likely be on the hook for millions of dollars in "closed school" loan discharges.
- Charlotte School of Law remains ineligible to offer new federal student loans. Ogene confirmed in the email to students that its application for reinstatement remains pending before DeVos. He wrote that he didn't expect the department to act on it before the end of the semester.

What the U.S. Department of Education was unprecedented in the history of our nation. As the former general counsel to an accrediting agency, I became familiar with the interaction between the DOE and accrediting agencies. The two are supposed to work together. By taking away access to the federal student loan program, the DOE did something it has never done before--acting before the accrediting agency. Institutions are placed on probation every year, and never has the DOE taken away access to the federal student loan program based on probationary status. The real outrage in this story is that the DOE, under the Obama administration, overstepped its bounds. One lasting problem for accrediting agencies is what to do with schools that need to be placed on probation. The accrediting agencies may be less inclined to move to probation, knowing that the DOE might pull access to the federal student loan program. This uncertainty hurts the accrediting process.
Posted by: Beau Baez | May 14, 2017 5:00:56 AM
The ED has an independent obligation to police the financial and administrative capacity of Title-IV schools. I don't see how the ED has overstepped its boundaries.
Posted by: Matthew Bruckner | May 15, 2017 5:43:33 AM
ED did not overstep its boundaries in any way. It did exactly what it needed to do to protect potential CSL students and taxpayers from the greed of Infilaw. The school is in no way completely innocent in any of this. Please understand that probation would have never happened if CSL had simply done what it was told to do in informing students, and ED would have had no reason to pull funding. ED gave the school plenty of time to fix its problems.
Posted by: Mary Watson | May 16, 2017 7:53:21 PM
Beau Baez,
What do you expect ED to do when a regulating body absolutely refuses to do it's job and continues to accredit a school that has a bar passage rate under 30%? ED has a lot of skin in the game, and maybe, unlike, the ABA, even cares about doing the right thing.

Description of Rainbow Derp Mod MCPE

My last post was a feeble attempt to describe a "day at the Rehab Institute." The objective of this post is to give y'all a look around the Rehab Institute grounds. As such, it will be mostly comprised of photos. The Rehab Institute became my workspace, my safe haven, my musical playground, my landmark, my lunchroom, my battleground, and my victor's podium. The last six weeks of my posting was spent at the Rehab Institute and it seemed that if I wasn't asleep at home or out with friends, then I was here. Come to think of it, I was often meeting with friends at rehab. The rest of this post will be photos with captions. Enjoy the tour!
|Main entrance to The Institute
|The Rehab Institute facility has a large courtyard in the middle. You are looking at that courtyard in this photo. You can also see the long sloping ramp up to the first floor. Patient rooms flank this courtyard.
|The left side of this image shows where the patient rooms are in relation to the courtyard.
|Patient rooms and treatment rooms are to the left in this photo. This is a shot of the first floor hall way (looking towards the First Floor OT gym which is at the end of the hall.) There is an OT and PT gym on each floor.
|Enough said.
|Angeline (OT student) working with a patient. Ang is one of the spirited young OT ladies from Fitch Hostel that taught Charlie and I to tie our sarees.
|This is Samson. He was one of the OTs on the First Floor that I worked with. He has a brilliant mind for creating unique splints and adaptive equipment. Also, he is very tall. It is likely that I had to stand on a chair to get this shot. Really tall.
|This is the First Floor OT gym in full swing.
|This is Thajus (the one in light blue) a Ground Floor OT setting up some e-stim for one of our patients.
|This is the pediatric OT/physio gym at rehab. This large recreation hall is split in two. One half being the peds gym, the other half (beyond the green curtain) as a multi-purpose space where rounds were conducted.
|Pearlin (OT) working with a peds patient.
|One of our favorite peds patients. This kid was always smiling!
|This is what lies beyond the green curtain. Many a hot, sweaty afternoon was spent here trying to stave off sleep during rounds as lunch digested and the heat sunk into our bones.
|This is the First Floor PT gym. As you can tell, PT doesn't have as much fun as OT does... Hahaha!
|The line-up for Ground Floor PT. All the gyms have a board like this that organizes who gets what therapy from which therapist at what time. This board attempts to make sense of the schedule chaos I wrote about in the last post.
|This is the Rehab Library. Charlie and I would often convene here to steal internet after work. Many a blog post was written and posted from this room.
|This is the Tea Master at work at his little tea counter.
|He rarely smiled. I was told that he was being teased about having his photo (the one I was taking) put into the America's Most Wanted Bachelor magazine. Hey, at least it got him to smile... or smirk.
|This is a shot of the rehab canteen during the 10 o'clock tea break. Second favorite time of day.
|Manoj (physio) and Jerome (OT) enjoying tea break and an animated discussion.
|Sunil (physio)
|This man (the one in the stripes to the left)in the one behind the magic that is the rehab canteen breakfast food. Cooking up a dosa, it would seem.
|Mansi (physio)
|Elango (social worker) and Sam Sir (head of OT service as rehab)
I trust you have enjoyed the tour as much as I enjoyed working there. Yes, the days were hot and sweaty despite the fans and swamp coolers. Yes, the language barrier was always smacking me in the face every time I turned around. And yes, I often felt like a fish out of water due to the differences in resources and cultural nuances. But I grew to dearly love this place and the people I met there. If I was to be honest, I'd have to say that I think it was because of the challenges I faced here that I became so very fond of this place.

On this occasion I did have to buy some timber, but not enough to make it an expensive project. Here is the table (higher than you might expect because it has to be level with the bedside rail FIL uses to move himself about). It was something of a rush job so the finish is just a wipe-on liquid wax.
The strange looking triangular piece in the front corner is where the remote control is now fixed by zip ties at a 45 degree angle to the horizontal (and pointing diagonally at the tv in the corner of the room. It turns out that FIL can both see and operate the buttons (we had wondered whether semi-horizontal pressing would be possible for him, but it is). The lamp sits on the lower section at the back. The lower shelf carries books as ballast.
Meanwhile the design of the Kindle stand has progressed. My first effort arose from FIL's finding it awkward (later impossible) to hold the Kindle on his chest while reading in bed:
Then it became difficult for him to operate the small power button at the base of the Kindle - particularly necessary when you have dozed off in the night and wake to discover that the Kindle has automatically gone to sleep, too. So version 2 incorporated a big spring-loaded button which presses on the tiny switch and which made it possible for a while for the Kindle to be switched back on:
However, these first 2 stands were relatively heavy, being made from offcuts of MDF, and FIL increasingly found it difficult to manipulate them. Additionally, the operation of the big button became problematic. I made a big breakthrough when I discovered a web forum which explained how to use the Kindle's programming language to disable the auto-switch-off routine. No more finding it unusable after a brief doze. So Kindle 3 addressed the weight issue, being made of thin plywood with weight-saving cutouts wherever possible:
This worked well for a while, until FIL found it increasingly difficult to operate the small page-turning buttons at the side of the Kindle. So now we have version 4 - lightweight again but this time providing large pivoting buttons to turn the pages back and forward. This is the one I'm putting my name on!

I would like to talk about advantages and disadvantages of social media.
First of all, keeping in mind that any kind of excess in our lives could have finally bad consequences, being excessively connected to social media could have the same bad characteristics of an addiction.
Many studies show that people who have been disconnected from social media tend to be happier and less stressed than people that stay connected as usual.

Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:GOOGC), Google parent, owner of YouTube is all set to launch the latest entry in the web-TV universe. It will be called YouTube TV, offer a package of more than 40 broadcast and cable channels and cost $35 per month.
The service will be available in the next few months in select markets, eventually becoming available all over the U.S. YouTube has not announced which markets will be first to have the service but did say it has partnerships with local TV stations in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago and Philadelphia.

Who's In And Who's Out
The good news: YouTube TV will have all the major networks, The Walt Disney Co.'s (NYSE:DISC) ABC, CBS Corp. (NYSE:CBSC), Comcast's Stock not found NBC and Fox. It will also feature several popular cable channels such as ESPN, FX, USA, MSNBC and 21st Century Fox's (TSX:FOXAC) Fox News.
The not so good news: Comedy Central and MTV from Viacom Inc. (TSX:VIAC) are not included. Neither are CNN, TNT or HBO from Time Warner Inc. (:TWXN/A), nor Discovery Communications Inc. (NASDAQ:DISCAC) Discovery Network, AMC Networks Inc. (NASDAQ:AMCXC) or the Food Network owned by Scripps Networks Interactive (:SNIN/A).
Some, including Discovery, Viacom, AMC and Scripps are in talks with YouTube and may be added later. If YouTube chief business officer, Robert Kyncl has anything to say about it, adding these additional partners will not result in a price increase.
Plenty Of Competition
YouTube's entry, like that of AT&T Inc.'s (NYSE:TC) DirecTV Now, comes after others including DISH Network Corp.'s (NASDAQ:DISHC) Sling TV. Other new entries are Sony Corp.'s (NYSE:SNEC) PlayStation Vue and Time Warner's Hulu. Hulu has plans to launch a streaming skinny bundle for $40 per month soon. And then there's Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZNC), which has made noise about its own streaming bundle for some time.
The problem for most streaming offerings is finding a balance between price and bundle size. Simply put, customers want a lot of variety but don't want to pay very much. This involves a lot of fancy footwork by bundle creators to secure rights at a reasonable price.

Icing On YouTube TV's Cake
YouTube's secret weapon in the upcoming streaming wars may be the YouTube platform itself. Without streaming commercial television, YouTube has gained viewers at a steady clip and, according to some experts, could eventually overtake television as the preferred platform for entertainment.
The Wall Street Journal noted that YouTube has seen a 10-fold increase in viewership over the past 5 years – again without YouTube TV included. According to Nielsen, viewers watch about 1.25 billion hours of TV every day but the number is declining YoY. It may be only a matter of time.

NORWALK -- Luciano V. Sclafani Jr. remembers graduating from college and returning to the family importing business. With a fresh degree in hand, he couldn't wait to help with the operations of business.
His father had other ideas for the hotshot grad.
"He still had me lugging cases," Sclafani recalled during an interview with The Hour recently. "My grandfather and father said that in order to own a business you have to do everything. Eventually Ispent two years as my father's understudy."
Sclafani, importers of Italian foods such as olive oil and tomato products, celebrates 100 years in business this year. Luciano has been with the company for more than half of those years and remembers having peashooter fights in the warehouse as a kid.
Luciano Sclafani's grandfather, Gus Sclafani, founded the company in 1911 and it has been family owned and operated ever since. Gus Sclafani, along with his brother Frank, came to the United States from a small fishing village in Italy in 1902.
According to Luciano Jr., Gus sold fish in Stamford to earn money and in 1911 established a warehouse on State Street where he imported items such as olive oil, anchovies and tomatoes.
"He had products previously not sold in the United States,' Luciano said.
In 1920, Gus created the concept of an Italian food store. In 1938, after two other locations, he built a state-of-the-art warehouse with perimeter refrigeration on Glenbrook Road in Stamford.
Luciano Jr., who also goes by Lucian and Lou, runs the company with his three brothers Gus, Bruce and Ron. They are the third generation in the business. Bruce now has sons in the business who represent the fourth generation.
"We yell a lot, but that's communication," he said of running a business with family members. "If we didn't have that, we'd be in trouble. One thing we're unanimous on is never compromising on quality."
The company is now based in Norwalk on Butler Street at the location of the former ice rink. The company moved there 12 years ago after not finding a large enough location in Stamford. Former Norwalk Mayor Frank Esposito, who knew the Sclafani family, helped lure the business to Norwalk.
"Moving to Norwalk was phenomenal and I'm proud to be here," Luciano said.
Sclafani now imports more than 350 products from across the world.
"We'll source the world," Luciano Sclafani said. "Wherever it's the best, that's where we'll get it from. I would say 85 percent of our products are from Europe. We're the apex of the triangle in terms of quality. We don't want to be the biggest, we want to be the best. And we'll fight to get the best quality"
For Luciano, sometimes he means fight literally.
In 2008, he led the charge to have the state of Connecticut adopt quality standards for labeling olive oil. He noticed stores selling "extra virgin" olive oil at unreasonably low prices and knew the products were inferior. Connecticut became the first state to adopt the standards. Since then, California, New York and Oregon have adopted similar standards. Sclafani said New Jersey and Massachusetts are considering the standards.
"Little by little we're getting it done," he said. "We're proud of that. Of all the things I've accomplished in my professional life, I'm most proud of that. We're protecting consumers and the industry."
Brian Griffin, vice president of the Greater Norwalk Chamber of Commerce, said the success of the business has as much to do with the Sclafani's themselves as anything else.
"The Sclafani family has succeeded in business for 100 years by adhering to two core principles: quality and integrity. These intertwined values are manifested not only in their products, but in the family members as well," he said. "You would certainly be hard-pressed to find a more professional and decent man than Lucian Sclafani. We congratulate them on this very significant milestone, and wish them the very best for the next 100 years."

To avoid confusion: this is an item written by OSNews reader douglasm. Please note that we publsh non-staff news items too (if submitted properly).
The strangest thing, though, is the total lack of official information about this subject. They are deprecating the entire architecture silently; no announcements, no press-releases, nothing. Even Wikipedia doesn't seem to know that openSUSE is now x86/x86_64 only (since three months ago). Worse yet, the "Get it" icon on the openSUSE homepage still reads "PPC".
I asked openSUSE maintainters for some information. "Linux distros are just following what the market is dictating," they replied, "I think our usage data showed something like less than 1% of users had PPC."
This is odd, since there was never more than 1% of non-x86 GNU/Linux users to begin with. "The question isn't whether it's less than before," they replied, "It's just that it was decided that it doesn't make sense for us to allocate resources to maintain PPC."
Ubuntu, which dropped official support for PowerPC a long time ago, is an exception to the rule, making an announcement and publishing a PowerPC FAQ.

Was it erotic? Yes, probably.
Was it a good movie? No, not really.
Disappointed? Yeah, totally!

Spain identifies 800 Britons suspected of making fake sickness claims
MADRID, Spain (AFP) — Spanish police said yesterday they had identified around 800 British tourists suspected of having made fake food poisoning claims after going on holiday in the Balearic Islands to try to win compensation.
Police have listed 77 law firms allegedly used by the tourists to file their complaints as part of their investigation, a statement said.
The law firms "orchestrated a possible criminal network based on fake claims that have generated significant economic damage to the Balearic and Spanish tourism sector", it added.
The Balearic Islands — which include Ibiza, Mallorca and Menorca — saw a 700 per cent rise in sickness claims from January 2016 until the end of September, with the overall cost of the claims worth four million pounds (4.5 million euros), police said.
Police said the problem of fake food poisoning claims was also affecting Spain's Canary Islands and the Levante region on the eastern Mediterranean coast, which includes the resort of Benidorm, popular with British tourists.
Hotels complain that British claims management companies openly tout for business in Spanish resorts, promising not to charge any fees if no eventual damages are paid out.
An ambulance emblazoned with the words "Claims Clinic" was last year pictured driving around Tenerife on Spain's Canary Islands, where more than one in three tourists is British.
Spanish tourism officials say the problem has arisen because British consumer law does not require claimants to produce any medical evidence of illness, and claims can be filed up to three years after a stay at a hotel.
Spain has stepped up its cooperation with Britain to halt the flood of fake claims which led British Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson to say earlier this year that the digestive "systems of British people" had "become the most delicate in the world".
The number of British tourists visiting Spain jumped by over 12 per cent in 2016 to hit a record 17.8 million.

atmosphere of celebration
i went to see matthias sauerbruch (a principal of sauerbruch hutton architects) lecture the other night, and was so pleased to hear him address COLOR! i've admired this firm for quite a while, in part because they so often clad their buildings in beautiful, colorful, performative skins.
it made me SO happy when he likened building skins to clothing - and said that when buildings have colorful skins, or people wear colorful clothing, it not only lifts the mood of the wearer, but creates an "atmosphere of celebration" for everyone nearby. well said, mr. sauerbruch!
in that spirit, anna and i are going to embark on another week of colorful outfits - posted every day. hopefully we'll make you feel more celebratory ... of course happily aided by the newly GORGEOUS weather!

The family of an incredibly brave Harrogate man who lost his three-year fight with lung cancer earlier this week are appealing for the public to donate to Saint Michael's Hospice.
Steve Francis, 55, finally succumbed after a stubborn battle and died peacefully at the hospice.
Even while still recovering from a course of radiotherapy, Steve had joined fundraising efforts personally.
The family had already set up a Just Giving page to fundraise for the local charity spearheaded by Steve's 13-year-old daughter, Storm.
The total stands at nearly £2,000 and is still rising.
But Steve's family are now renewing their fundraising efforts and have praised the hospice for its work.
His widow Alison said: "The support the hospice provides not just to for patients but family members in what has been an extremely difficult time, from the palliative care nurse to the cooks to the receptionists has been fantastic."
Steve's funeral will take place on Friday, June 16 at 2.40pm at Christ Church in Harrogate.
Steve's wish was that people attending should wear Pink Floyd T-shirts, after one of his favourite bands, though the family say this is optional.
All are welcome and donations will be taken on the door for Saint Michael's Hospice.
The wake will take place at Starbeck Working Mens Club.

After the release of a phenomenal book "Act Like A Lady, Think Like A Man", different women attempt to take control relationships that are assumed to be taken care of by men.
The movie started really well as per its comedy aspects, scenes made me laugh and I had fun all through out the movie. At the same time, I felt the movie dramatically, it touched my heart at some point, especially near to its ending. However, the movie presented segments ("Momma's Boy VS. Woman...") but it were not really established, so I got confused at some parts who's "the player" or the "momma's boy". And, I kind of question the use of montages. I think the movie could still be entertaining or get appreciated even without those montages of world wars, etc.
The strength of the movie is it having variety...

Appealing to women, but made for men!
Think like a Man follows four men (the player, the mommas boy, the dreamer and the non committer) whose love lives are shaken up after the ladies they are pursuing buy Steve Harveys best-selling book, Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Man, and start taking his advice to heart.
The book helps the women to better understand how men view commitment, intimacy and love and soon after reading it, the ladies get an insight into their trifling mens mindset and coerce them into becoming the type of man they each want and getting the relationships they desire. We have the Girl Who Wants the Ring vs. The Non-Committer, The Single Mom against The Mommas Boy, The Woman Whos Her Own Man opposite The Dreamer and The Player vs. The 90-Day Rule Girl.
But when the friends realize they have been bet...

Comments/Context: Sally Mann's provocative photographs of her children have cast an amazingly long shadow across the the subject matter of childhood, particularly that of young girls. I almost didn't come to to see this show because the announcement showed an image of two scantily clothed girls playing in the forest, and my first reaction was "Sally Mann derivative". This was entirely unfair and ignorant on my part, but nonetheless, I was surprised to be confronted by just how strongly Mann's work has created the playing field on which others now have to play.
Margaret de Lange's black and white photographs of her daughters travel over some of the same childhood terrain that Mann's images did, but with a much grittier and wilder feel. The images are dark and grainy, with deep shadows and contrasts that make the summertime setting seem that much more feral and unruly. The girls make the most of the warm days in the woods by creating their own imaginary games and outdoor adventures, using animal skins, wildflowers, a feather headdress, discarded nylons, a swing, and an old window screen as props. A dead squirrel is hung by a string, while a black dog seems to have been rescued from the water's edge. Dirty feet, skinned knees, and a casual disregard for clothing are the norm. The fur wolf hoods give the entire scene a Where the Wild Things Are authenticity, just on the edge between fun and little animalistic and out of control.
One of the main criticisms of Mann's work was that it was potentially exploitative, a bit too stagy and posed; as a result, some found some of the nudes altogether too explicit and confrontational. De Lange has avoided this trap in two important ways. First, while there are a handful of images where her daughters stare right into the camera (a few that are quite startling and mezmerizing), for the most part, the pictures are indirect glances and sideways views, where the girls have been captured in play without undue influence or obvious direction. Second, de Lange refrained from publishing the work until she could get the assent of her now grown daughters, who could do so with the adult knowledge of what the display of the pictures might mean. So while there are nudes on view here, the idea that the girls have been misused in some inappropriate way is entirely (and thankfully) absent.
Overall, these pictures seem like illustrations from a modern day Scandinavian folktale of growing up: two girls wander out into the forest to play, survive a series of exciting and harrowing adventures (large and small), and emerge on the other side as strong, confident, grown women.
Collector's POV: The prints in the show are reasonably priced at $1800 each. De Lange's work has no history in the secondary markets, so interested collectors will need to follow up at retail. While these works don't fit into our particular collection, I think de Lange's images would form a nice foil to Mann's work (an intriguing back and forth could be set up via some smart pairings) and would obviously fit more broadly into collections of childhood/portraits.

Hunters are always looking for a new way to improve their opportunities. From planting fields of green to charring the woods with a routine prescribed burn, there are many ways to manipulate the land to improve conditions that are beneficial to wildlife.
Food plots are one of the chief habitat-management techniques that provide either a temporary or semi-permanent food source for wildlife throughout the year. The long list of variables required to fall in synch and produce a thick, lush plot are sometimes tough to manage. However, if land managers are willing to alter their planting procedures and incorporate no-till drilling methods, the benefits may actually outweigh the risks and leave a little bit of money in the bank.
Anybody who has spent much time in the food-plot game understands the investments of time and cash required can be immense to produce a productive food plot wildlife will use on a regular basis. From battling weed competition to controlling moisture in the soil, no-till drilling can help curve some of the typical issues associated with conventional tillage.
So, what exactly is no-till drilling? This method of cultivation utilizes a specialized piece of farm machinery to reduce the area of impact to a narrow band by injecting the seed into the soil without mass disturbance from traditional deep plowing or disking.
The no-till drilling method was first developed more than 50 years ago on a mountain farm in Haywood County, N.C. John Kirkpatrick developed a primitive form of no-till farming to prevent erosion on a steep slope by only tilling a narrow band and then following up with a traditional planter.
No-till drilling has many benefits for farmers trying to establish a commercial crop and to the hobbyist trying to establish a thriving food plot for his wildlife. To start off with, no-till will prevent soil erosion in areas that are considered vulnerable after cultivation. And no-till will allow soils to retain moisture on well-drained or dry sites. Moisture becomes a critical limiting factor during the planting season and often delays planting during dry periods.
But the most-important message for farmers and food plotters is that no-till will keep money in the bank by significantly reducing weedy competition without the use of costly herbicides. Weed competition is probably the No.1 issue with food plots. Tilling fields promotes weed competition.
Traditional deep plowing is the typical method that turns the soil, exposes weedy roots and kills all existing weedy invaders. Yet the newly-plowed soil exposes millions and millions of native weed seeds. After a little bit of rain and sunshine, these quickly germinate and join in the battle to occupy every square inch of exposed soil. The remnant residue from last season's crop of sorghum, triticale, wheat or other small grain crop will create a dense thatch barrier that prevents sunlight from reaching the dormant weed seeds buried within the soil.
Even if no crops were planted before and the idle food plot is covered in weeds, a pre-planting treatment of glyphosate will kill all of the existing vegetation to help create a thatch barrier for planting.
While not 100-percent effective for preventing weeds in warm-season and cool-season plots, the thatch barrier will allow the planted crop a chance to grow before pesky weeds arrive. A thatch barrier will provide a similar effect to using an application of pre-emergent herbicide. Some food-plot seeds are not resistant to the effects of pre-emergent herbicides. No-till can offer the weed protection these seeds need to grow and flourish.
Before drilling the seed, the cover crop should be sprayed with glyphosate to kill off any existing vegetation and allowed to fall over.
No-till drilling can be a low-cost and environmental friendly approach to growing successful food plots for wildlife by reducing the issues farmers typically encounter.
Farmers and landowners wishing to use a no-till drilling method do not need to necessarily purchase a no-till drill to get started. These units can be rented from farm-equipment supply stores. In some cases, county agriculture extension offices will have no-till drills available for short-term lease at very reasonable prices.
