UPDATE 2/1/2014 11:30 AM PT: Writer Scott Snyder, who worked closely with Mike Marts on "Batman," commented Friday via Twitter on the editor's move from DC Comics to Marvel:
"Mike Marts gave me a shot on "Detective Comics," feature & backup, when I was no one. He has nurtured me every step of the way in Gotham from "Black Mirror" to now. Could not be more grateful to him for his friendship and mentorship. He's a permanent part of the DNA of Gotham… a part of the deepest architecture. Lots of love and support for him at his new gig! Always in your corner, Mike, & wishing you the best!"
DC Comics declined comment on this story.
Batman group editor Mike Marts will move from DC Comics to Marvel in February, joining the publisher as an executive editor. Marts previously worked for Marvel from 1996 to 2006.
"It's amazing to see how Marvel has grown as a company since I worked there last," Marts said in a statement released by Marvel on Friday afternoon. "I am beyond thrilled to be rejoining this powerhouse at such an exciting time."
Marts had overseen DC's Bat-titles for years, including much of Grant Morrison's lauded time on the character, and Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo's current "Batman" run.
In his previous stint at Marvel, Marts served as a senior editor working on multiple X-Men titles, including the Morrison-written "New X-Men" and Joss Whedon and John Cassaday's "Astonishing X-Men."
"Mike Marts is a seasoned veteran who's edited some of the most critically acclaimed and highest-selling series of the last decade," Marvel editor-in-chief Axel Alonso said in a statement. "I'm overjoyed to see him return home, and I can't wait to see what he brings to Marvel!"
This move follows last October's news that DC Comics will move its editorial operations from New York City to Burbank, CA in 2015. Former DC editor Wil Moss started at Marvel last month.

If you guessed approximately 2 billion, you'd be right, according to John Monroe, an analyst at Gartner.
The hard drive-which was invented by IBM--debuted on September 13, 1956, nearly fifty years ago, and the devices have become fairly indispensable to the computer industry. (Electronic computers had their big coming out party with the ENIAC sixty years ago this year.)
The drive industry and organizations such as IDEMA plan to celebrate with an event at the Computer History Museum on September 12.
More fun facts from Monroe: roughly 201.6 million drives got produced in the first half. "We anticipate 428-435 for the entire 2006 calendar year," he wrote. That's 46 to 48 million terabytes in total storage.
Prices continue to drop. The average price for a gigabyte (GB) costs 50 cents. Leasing hard drives fifty years ago cost several thousand dollars and you only got a few MB of storage.

NEW ALBANY, OH—PCM Inc. said it will commence construction of a new cloud data center here on 8 acres.
The new facility will complement PCM's two existing data centers and an Integrated Operations Center located in Atlanta. This addition will expand the company's existing cloud infrastructure and provide geo-diversity for 'always on' applications, said Joseph Hayek, president of the firm, in a statement. The data center should open in the fourth quarter of 2013.
"We are very excited about what this new data center means to our customers and to any company that requires 100% up time of their application/cloud environments," Hayek said. "While cloud computing means different things to different people, companies are constantly challenged by how best to deploy their capital in an economy characterized by rapid technology change. We believe that our customers can benefit tremendously by locating their workloads in our facility or by taking advantage of our fully managed cloud environment in the Tier III facility for production or business continuity purposes."

"Chris and Julie were fantastic. So easy to deal with and the actual party was fab too. My daughter turned 5 and had a brilliant time with her friends. Chris certainly captivated the children for the entire time and Julie's face painting was brilliant. I would certainly recommend Chris and Julie to anyone looking for the perfect children's party!"
Over the years we have performed at thousands of birthday parties, from small living rooms to large halls, so you can be reassured that you won't find any other entertainers with more experience. We attend Birthday Parties in Northamptonshire, Bedfordshire, Buckinghamshire and Cambridgeshire etc.
We understand that the memory of a great party will stay in your child's mind forever, that's why we do everything we possibly can to ensure that they have a party they will never forget!
Because it's their special day, the birthday child is always the star of the show, either just watching or assisting in amazing tricks and in our 2 hour packages can even assist in the Magical appearance of Sparkle our pet bunny. They also receive various colourful balloon models and souvenirs.
Below are various examples of our birthday party packages. The 1 hour show is an ideal addition to your DIY party. The 2 hour party packages are ideal if you want to leave it in our experienced hands.
with Chris & Julie
- 2 hours of Party Fun (including food break)
- Comedy magic show with Scruffy the dog
- Magical appearance of Sparkle the bunny (optional)
- Games, Party Dancing & Mini Disco
- Birthday child can assist with amazing magic tricks
- *Free Face Painting
- Special balloon sculptures, badge and card for the birthday child

45 or 60 minute MAGIC & FUN SHOW WITH CHRIS
- Comedy magic show with Scruffy the dog
- Party Dancing
- Birthday child assists with amazing magic tricks
- Free balloon sculpture, badge and card for the birthday child
- Free souvenir magic wand poster for all the children
- A perfect addition to your children's party
Why not have your Birthday Party in the garden during the Summer months, it doesn't have to be a big garden, any size will be sufficient. If you haven't got a shady area though, you will need a gazeebo to give some protection from the sun for the children.
This is also a good way of saving money you would have spent hiring a Village Hall or Community Centre. Just remember though, only invite enough children you can comfortably accomodate in your living room in case our English weather is bad.
When the children arrive we make them balloon models, then play games such as our giant Snakes and Ladders, followed by all of our usual silly magic and party dancing etc.
- A massive thank you for a fabulous time yesterday - everyone enjoyed themselves very much. It was the best decision to ask you to come and do your show and the face painting was beautiful. Thanks again - will certainly recommend you
Fantastic party thank you, all the parents were raving about you both.
Thank you for making Adriana feel so special on her birthday, she has a fantastic time.
The parents thought the face painting was amazing and I have had some messages that some of the girls had to be very persuaded to take it off before bed!
Thank you so much for today. Everyone really enjoyed themselves. So much so, Harry would like you at his party on 8th July!
Just wanted to thank you both for putting on such a fantastic show! The kids had a whale of a time and loved all aspects. Face painting was a huge bonus! Sophie loved every minute and it was so special to see her little face with all her friends.Had many comments from other parents saying how good you both were too and one had already "googled you" so I hope you may get some more business.Anyway many thanks to both of you for your hard work and great fun.Just wanted to say a huge heartfelt thank you to Chris for a truly magical show he laid on for Jacob and his friends today. I can't praise you enough and neither could the other parents. Seeing the joy on our children's faces was a real blessing for us all. Hope to see you again sometime.
Just to say thank you for the party, the kids really enjoyed themselves and Ethan was a very happy little boy.
Thank you so much for making Orla's party so special. She had such a fantastic time, as did all her friends. She was talking about it all afternoon - the giant wand trick had her in raptures! We'll thoroughly recommend you to all our parent friends.
Thank you so much for a fab party. All the children had a great time, the parents enjoyed it as well. Will definitely recommend you guys!Evie loved her party and think all her friends had a fab time too. Thankyou so much for a great show, will highly recommend you to everyone. All the adults said what a fab show it was with really beautiful face painting, thanks again.
Thank you for helping to make Ishanvi's 4th birthday party such a success. The children and adults alike laughed out-loud watching Chris' show and Jackie's face-painting skills are simply outstanding.Hopefully you can use the above on your website. You did a brilliant job and everyone was thoroughly impressed.
The above shows are our most popular but we can tailor a package to meet your individual requirements, ie in our 2 hour party package you can have less magic in the show by adding a Punch & Judy or puppet show. *For the majority of the year in our 2 hour packages we also include face painting for free.
Every party is different, so it is best to call us up for a chat.
We offer special weekday prices for after school parties and also most of the school holidays.

While civility and social contract theory may explain this phenomenon in part (no one wants to be a jerk, right?), an interesting construct may explain this more fully: The Willingness to Self-Censor.
According to psychologist Andrew Hayes, some people are more willing to withhold their opinion from those they believe might disagree with that opinion. Rather than sharing their opinions freely, they wait until they are in a comfortable place to speak, where they are free from being critiqued. Or they simply do not reveal their true thoughts at all.
This theory, I believe, has important implications for writers. Some of us (and I put myself in this category), might score high on the Willingness to Self-Censor Scale. While we may feel we are protecting ourselves, we should consider:
1. Not surprisingly, as Hayes explains, self-censors are more likely to be "more apprehensive about communication." Are we writing as well as we could be, if we are constantly censoring ourselves? Maybe we are limiting our voices by not digging deep enough, by not bringing every emotion and opinion to the page, by not freeing ourselves. Maybe the fear that people won't agree with us, or that they won't like what our characters do or say, keeps us from writing at all.
2. Self-censors also "fear negative evaluation to a greater extent" as compared to those less willing to self-censor. So not only does self-censorship negatively impact the ability to write honestly and deeply, but it also impairs the self-censor's ability to withstand critique. So perhaps, writing more honestly will help free us from our fear of other people's criticism.
But what do you think? As a writer--are you writing as openly (less willing to self-censor) as you could be? As a reader--do you appreciate openness and rawness on the part of the writer?

Deasha TonePrint by Kern Brantley
The phrase uttered the most during Kern Brantley's TonePrint session was most definitely "THAT'S NICE!". Kern was super impressed with the elegant and clear sounding swirls that the Vortex was capable of producing, so that's what he went for. So, yeah, you may have guessed it, but Kern's "Deasha" TonePrint isn't a crazy jet-flange affair or an over-the-top psychedelia trip. Instead it's a nice clear flanger that just enhances the natural sound of your bass by simply making it wider and more lush. And we know that once you've loaded this TonePrint you will be saying "THAT'S NICE!" as well. So go and get your beam on!

From EverQuest to World of Warcraft, online games have evolved from the exclusive domain of computer geeks into an extraordinarily lucrative staple of the entertainment industry. People of all ages and from all walks of life now spend thousands of hoursaand dollarsapartaking in this popular new brand of escapism. But the line between fantasy and reality is starting to blur. Players have created virtual societies with governments and economies of their own whose currencies now trade against the dollar on eBay at rates higher than the yen. And the players who inhabit these synthetic worlds are starting to spend more time online than at their day jobs. In Synthetic Worlds, Edward Castronova offers the first comprehensive look at the online game industry, exploring its implications for business and culture alike. He starts with the players, giving us a revealing look into the everyday lives of the gamersaoutlining what they do in their synthetic worlds and why. He then describes the economies inside these worlds to show how they might dramatically affect real world financial systems, from potential disruptions of markets to new business horizons. Ultimately, he explores the long-term social consequences of online games: If players can inhabit worlds that are more alluring and gratifying than reality, then how can the real world ever compete? Will a day ever come when we spend more time in these synthetic worlds than in our own? Or even more startling, will a day ever come when such questions no longer sound alarmist but instead seem obsolete? With more than ten million active players worldwideaand with Microsoft and Sony pouring hundreds of millions of dollars into video game developmentaonline games have become too big to ignore. Synthetic Worlds spearheads our efforts to come to terms with this virtual reality and its concrete effects. aIlluminating. . . . Castronovaas analysis of the economics of fun is intriguing. Virtual-world economies are designed to make the resulting game interesting and enjoyable for their inhabitants. Many games follow a rags-to-riches storyline, for example. But how can all the players end up in the top 10%? Simple: the upwardly mobile human players need only be a subset of the world's population. An underclass of computer-controlled 'bot' citizens, meanwhile, stays poor forever. Mr. Castronova explains all this with clarity, wit, and a merciful lack of academic jargon.aaThe Economist aSynthetic Worlds is a surprisingly profound book about the social, political, and economic issues arising from the emergence of vast multiplayer games on the Internet. What Castronova has realized is that these games, where players contribute considerable labor in exchange for things they value, are not merely like real economies, they are real economies, displaying inflation, fraud, Chinese sweatshops, and some surprising in-game innovations.aaTim Harford, Chronicle of Higher EducationIf the problem person were himself a customer service representative, of course, there would be even less likelihood of change (unless the customer ...

Did you know that that there is a tomato called 'Pomme d'Amour' ? Literally it translates to "love apple" Pomme d'Amour (French for "love apple") is similar to these small-fruit tomatoes that were mostly grown for ornament; however, the mild, pinkish-red tomatoes are ideal for garden snacking, salads, and drying. Because they re so hard to find, we used Roma tomatoes for this love jam. Fragrant and delicious, this sweet jam is a favorite at tea time or for a romantic breakfast in bed.
Ingredients (for 2-1/2 twelve ounce jars)
1-1/2 pounds Roma tomatoes, peeled, seeded and chopped
1 teaspoon powdered ginger
3-1/2 cups sugar
Measure into a large non reactive pot, discarding seeds and juice left on cutting board. Add sugar.
Stir in the ginger. Place pot on stove on high heat, stirring with a wooden spoon until the sugar is dissolved. Maintain a full boil until thick and clear . This takes about 20 minutes. Stir often to avoid burning during the last few minutes.
Remove from the heat, allow to stand a moment or two for scum to side and set, so it may be easily removed. Place in hot sterilized jars, cool slightly and seal with paraffin. Yields approximately 2-1/2 twelve ounce jars.

Russian "CAD in Construction 2010" Student Design Competition Won by ARCHICAD Project
Moscow, July 26, 2010 - Winners of the annual international competition "CAD in Construction 2010 or Rock at Sziget with ARCHICAD" were announced at the Moscow State University of Civil Engineering. First prize was awarded to Olga Khamatgalieva, a fourth-year student at Southern Federal University (Institute of Architecture and Art) in Rostov-on-Don.
Library of Southern Federal University, Rostov-on-Don
The student competition was organized by the Moscow State University of Civil Engineering and supported by GRAPHISOFT R&D this year for the following main goals to achieve:
- Increase the use of CAD in the learning process; Expand the community of CAD users;
- Create opportunities for sharing experiences with CAD software;
- Identify the best building designs created with CAD software
- Assess the level of expertise among CAD specialists in the Russian AEC industry
More than 170 student projects arrived from 22 cities across Russia, Ukraine, and Armenia with the majority of projects created with ARCHICAD.
The winner - Olga Khamatgalieva of Southern Federal University, Rostov-on-Don
"Today's library is an information center. Obtaining knowledge results in transitions to new levels. This idea influenced me while creating the shape and structure. The center of the building is a glazed, full-height atrium, through which most of the light enters. Living, green, cantilevered terraces ensure a comfortable environment for library visitors here, serving as green, open areas for reading and relaxing," Olga said about her project.
Olga is also the winner of the special prize of a 3-day trip to Budapest, a visit to GRAPHISOFT headquarters, and as part of her program, to spend time and party at one of Europe's largest music festivals, known as Sziget Festival. Click here to see more images of the Winning Projects.

The Chicago Board of Trade announced Tuesday that it surpassed its record for annual trading volume. CBOT passed the previous record of 674,651,393, set in 2005, with 38 days still remaining in the trading year.
"It is a testament to the Exchange's liquid, transparent markets that CBOT volume has already overtaken last year's record," says CBOT President and CEO Bernard W. Dan.
"Consistent volume gains across our Agricultural, Financial, Metals and Equity Index product groups can be directly attributed to our unwavering commitment to delivering products and services that meet the needs of our global customer base," Dan says. "While electronic trading of Metals futures and daytime electronic trading of Agricultural contracts helped drive volume gains through the year, this milestone confirms that market participants continue to be attracted to the various trading opportunities available at the CBOT."

Lets face it, people have different priorities and sometimes they don't always make sense to other people. For me this is one of those times. A country singer by the name of Billy Currington was going to do a benefit concert for a Sandy Hook charity that was setup after that tragedy took place. Gun rights groups started getting on the singers case about doing the event and he has now canceled his appearance there.
It's sad to see that in America in my view of these events that guns are greater then the lives of kids to people.

However, how that change occurs, and ensuring that the changes are truly beneficial to nearby residents, is an ongoing concern for the County. After all, you don't want such drastically evolutionary change occuring without also ensuring that area residents, businesses and stakeholders have provided appropriate input that has been received and responded to.
it is with this in mind that the County recently announced the formation of the White Flint Downtown Advisory Committee. According to the Bethesda-Chevy Chase Regional Services Center:
The Committee will advise County departments on public services in the White Flint Sector Plan Area; and coordinate community activities that promote and advance business interests, and a sense of place, community, maintenance and walkability within the Area. The Committee will also advise and make recommendations to the County Executive and County Council on the feasibility and timing for the establishment of the Urban District in White Flint no later than September 2017. The Committee will provide an annual report to the County Executive and County Council.
County Commissioner Ike Leggett (D) is seeking to fill eight vacancies on the Commission: three representatives of commercial property owners in the Sector Plan Area; two representatives of businesses that employ fewer than 25 employees; two representatives of residential communities in the Sector Plan Area, and one representative in or outside of the Sector Plan Area. In addition, according to the Regional Services Center, the Committee "will also include two members nominated by the Greater Bethesda-Chevy Chase Chamber of Commerce; one representative who is a member of the Western Montgomery County Citizens Advisory Board; and three ex-officio, non-voting members representing the County Executive, County Council, and North Bethesda Transportation Management District."
The White Flint Sector Plan was created in March 2010 following years of diligent, difficult work on teh part of amny in the community. According to the Montgomery County Planning Commission's website, the Sector Plan was designed and implemented with the following aims in mind:
- Create thriving, diverse mixed use center with highest intensity closest to Metro and along Rockville Pike
- Create new parks and open spaces
- Transform Rockville Pike into a boulevard with street trees and improved crosswalks
- Develop a transportation network that includes a grid of new public streets
- Improve the pedestrian and bicycling environment
- Promote sustainable development
Members of the Advisory Committee will serve staggered three year terms. Those interested in being considered for positions on the Board can find more information on the County's website.

Ribbit! Ribbit! How to Help with Frog and Toad Conservation – in Your Own Backyard
They live in backyards, parks, fields, creeks or just about anywhere, but in many areas their numbers are dwindling. Frogs and toads face major threats, and up to one-third of the world's amphibian species are in danger of extinction.
Frogs and toads play an important role as both prey and predator in wetland ecosystems, and are considered indicators of the health of their environments. But many previously abundant frog and toad populations have declined dramatically in the United States and around the world.
The Santa Barbara Zoo is part of FrogWatch USA, a national "citizen science" effort to identify and count frogs and toads.
The information gathered is entered into an online database from all FrogWatch chapters over the past 15 years – and may ultimately lead to practical and workable ways to stop amphibian decline.
Want to help?
You don't have to be frog or toad expert to join FrogWatch. You don't touch and rarely see the little critters, but are trained to listen for the croaks, peeps, trills, and other calls of common local species.
Volunteers monitor a site of their choosing for at least 3 minutes (minimum of twice a week) throughout the breeding season, roughly February to August. It can be a favorite wetlands area, creek, or other amphibian habitat. Scroll down for more info!
FrogWatch Training at the Zoo
Thursday, March 15 from 6:30–8:30 p.m. AND Thursday, March 22 from 6:30–8:30 p.m. (must attend both sessions)
More Info
Contact the Zoo's education department by phone (805) 962-5339 or email.
Trainings are free, but reservations are recommended. Register online.
"It is essential that we understand the scope, scale, and cause of declines in frog and toad populations. FrogWatch volunteers have helped by gathering data for more than 10 years."

Slamdance Horror Flick 'Paranormal Activity': DreamWorks's 'Cloverfield'?
In search of the next Cloverfield.
Paranormal Activity, the horror movie whose premiere at last week's Slamdance led some people — well, us — to speculate as to whether it could be the next Cloverfield, moved another step in that direction today. DreamWorks has acquired the film, a vérité supernatural thriller that revolves around surveillance tapes of a haunted house, and intends to throw a bunch of money at director Oren Peli to remake it. Peli is thrilled, of course, telling the L.A. Times, "It's definitely very exciting. Now we can try to do some things that were not possible before."
Will one of those "things that were not possible before" be replacing all of Paranormal's cast of unknowns with Sarah Michelle Gellar? (The original film will be released in foreign markets and on domestic DVD alongside the remake.) We hope not! Because Cloverfield's success should have reminded Hollywood that concept can trump casting if the concept is good enough. And a movie filled with no-names can still make a hell of a lot of money.

There's nothing as relaxing as sharing a cup of coffee with a dear friend.
It helps you celebrate the life you are in. A part of the past. A bearer of the future. Everything connected.
There are even coffee ceremonies organized around this special drink, in which the raw beans are carefully washed before grinding and brewing.
To make an extra special pot of coffee, grind the seeds of 3-6 cardamom pods for every 1/4 cup of coffee.
Brew as normal – with a smile and a friend…
… while laughing about nothing at all.
And everything, too.
- Grind the seeds of 3-6 cardamom pods for every 1/4 cup of coffee. Then brew as normal.

Whilst researching the history of the route for a UKC article, I came across some interesting facts... including an ascent that was termed a "British On Sight Ascent" but unfortunately was ground-up, with one fall.
In the article I also speak to German super-star Stefan Glowacz, both over the telephone and face to face in Germany. I find out once and for all the exact style in which he climbed the route.
I explore the history, from the first ascent in 1980, through to my abortive attempt in 2008. Along the way I speak to several important ascentionists, including Johnny Woodward and Al Murray. I also talk at length about the grade – how can it 'only' be E6 when everyone falls off?
Want to find out if Strawberries has had a British on sight? - Well unfortunately it hasn't... yet.

Kathryn Allyn has been called "a vocally lustrous earful" by the Philadelphia Inquirer, "elaborately ornamental" and "a martini dry wit" by CafeteriaRusticana.com, "note perfect" and "a charismatic presence" by the Ft. Lauderdale Sun-Sentinel, "musically superb" by BistroAwards.com and, in a personal favorite, "grandly libidinous" by Opera News.
Kaye has appeared at NYC's Café Noctambulo, The Cutting Room, The Underground, The West End Lounge, TomiJazz, Somethin' Jazz and Stage72. In her former life as a classical singer, she was seen in leading roles at New York City Opera, Carnegie Hall, Tokyo Symphony, Florida Grand, Palm Beach Opera, Opera Orchestra New York and others; Kaye's roles ran the gamut from Carmen (Carmen), Madama Butterfly (Suzuki) and Mahler's Symphony Nr. 2 (Alto Soloist), to Oklahoma! (Ado Annie), Noel Coward's Bitter Sweet (Manon) and Gilbert & Sullivan's Utopia, Limited (that gal who's name I forget who was funny and had a nice duet).
Kaye is a political junkie, an avocational writer, a smart aleck and a cautionary tale. She's a native of the once-great state of Kansas, and makes her home on The Island of Misfit Toys with tenor Sam Kinsey and very naughty cat, Beatrix Cattenborough.

I'm kind of addicted to craft swaps… no really- I have participated in 21 so far with my first one being back in 2005! And I still have 2 more in progress! Most of my swaps have been through Craftster- including my latest swap finish for the "Craft with a Fat Quarter" swap! In this swap, we were challenged to make items for our partner using only 2 fat quarters! It was such a fun challenge to figure out how to fit the projects using such a limited fabric! I wanted to share what I made for my partner today. My partner loved this Bonnie & Camille strawberry fabric, so I went with that and a coordinating red fabric. The two fabrics in the corner are the 2 fat quarters I sent with the package for her to use. My partner had tons of great inspiration pinned, so I used those and lots of tutorials to make these items!
One of the items she had pinned was a thread catcher, so I decided to make this my biggest project. The pin cushion was a simple rectangle with a loop for the basket attachment. I weighted it down with door hinges wrapped in foam batting so that it wouldn't slip and then stuffed it with polyfill. For the basket, I started with the thread catcher tutorial from The Sewing Chick & modified it to fit my needs. You can find the tutorial for my version Here! I used foam batting on the basket to add structure so the basket could stand up and be used on its own. I also added a button so that it could be attached to the pin cushion to hang off of the table.
My next largest project was a checkbook cover which my partner had pinned as well. I used the tutorial from Small Fry & Co for this. I used some cute coordinating heart ribbon for the page holder and thin elastic for the button closure.
I also made a little sweet pencil pouch from the tutorial at A Spoonful of Sugar. However, I made the outer from 1 piece instead of a patchwork. I used my Cricut to add a doily edging along the zipper with heat apply vinyl (free doily .svg courtesy of Bird's Cards). I finished it off by adding a little strawberry charm on the zipper!
At this point, I was getting down to some smaller scraps! Since she liked organizing, I decided to make her a charm square fabric tray (tutorial also from A Spoonful of Sugar! Can you tell I adore her work? I love these for holding little items in my sewing space to keep things more organized!
My project using the least fabric was the non-slip sewing pedal pad! I was inspired by the tutorial on So Sew Easy, but I had to adjust it because of my fabric constraints. The bottom of the pad was made from 2 layers of non-slip material, quilted in star to keep the layers together. I then used a 1in wide strip of fabric to bind the edges! I added the front padded stop & added little pieces of ribbon on the edges since my fabric wasn't quite wide enough!
My smallest project was a little hexie key chain. I embroidered the strawberries & used the heart ribbon to make a loop for the key chain. These are so simple and quick!
This swap definitely challenged my planning skills. I have to say, a lot of graph paper & excel was used in this swap!! But in the end, I was surprised how many projects I could make with just 2 fat quarters! Now to move on to the projects for my 2 swaps in progress!
Thanks for reading!

If you intend to testify on the congressional redistricting plan tonight in Annapolis, go early: Rep. Helen D. Bentley's supporters may grab all the seats. "We'll have eight or nine busloads of people," said Bentley, R-2nd.
Bentley said her supporters also will submit thousands of "petition-type letters" expressing opposition to the proposed redistricting plan.
Bentley is furious over the plan because it would eliminate her district, apportion Baltimore County into five districts, and force her to run against fellow Republican Wayne T. Gilchrest, R-1st, or take on a Democrat in largely new territory.
The plan was proposed Aug. 21 by the Governor's Redistricting Advisory Committee, which will hear the public's views on it beginning at 5 p.m. in the legislative services building near the State House.

Open Thread: Everything You're Reading, Watching, Listening To and Looking At
This is your place to talk about the TV, movies, music, books and art that are thoroughly entertaining you.
I grew up in a house without television. Yes, I had one of *those* mothers. To her credit, I survived and had the benefit of spending my time doing crazy things like playing outside and reading. I'm not gonna lie though: It was rough when "90210" premiered. Everyone was watching it and I was like, "Brenda and Kelly who?"
There was an old super 70s TV in our basement that my brother and I surreptitiously set up right next to the fish tank (why was that in the basement?) and the sewing machine (another hobby I took up in lieu of "rotting my brain") which got three channels via the strategic placement of a wire coat hanger. Needless to say, I watched a lot of secret educational programming when I was an adolescent.
But here's the thing. Turns out only having three channels to watch isn't that "punitive" after all. Because while you may pay for hundreds of cable channels, turns out you're only watching a select few.
According to a report last week by Neilsen, "Last year, U.S. cable subscribers got a record average of 189 channels in prepackaged bundles but only watched 17 of those channels."
I sat down to make a list of the channels I watch of the hundreds included in my ridiculously expensive cable television package ($135 for anyone who is counting) and the first thing I realized was WOW did my mom's whole "no television" thing really backfire. I LOVE television. Like, truthfully, I'd rather stay in at night and watch TV than do almost anything else in the whole wide world.
Also, I watch really bad TV. And I'll prove it by listing the channels I watch and why. Get stoked.
And that's it! I know. How do I have time to date? Oh right: I don't. Date. Not have time to date. Oh, nevermind.
Seriously though: I don't watch all of those shows religiously (lie) and I also didn't include shows that aren't on the air anymore, which is good because no one needs to know that I was totally obsessed with "The Lying Game" and threw a mini fit when it was canceled. But I mean, that's a lot of TV. And I also read more than almost anyone I know. Except s.e. Because holy cow does ou read a lot. (I know because ou's Instagram tells me so and because I buy almost every book pictured.)
Nonetheless, as much television as that it, I'm still only watching a fraction of the channels I pay for thanks to cable television's "bundling" system, which forces consumers to pick a package of channels, rather than just the channels we actually watch. The channel that's most responsible for driving up prices? ESPN. Liberty Media's Chief Executive actually called ESPN "a tax on every American household." Clearly, it's annoying that one channel can make cable more expensive for everyone. But, personally, I can suffer through it because at least I watch that channel. If I never watched ESPN, I'd likely be livid. Why should I have to pay more for something I don't ever use?
However, there's actually research that says if we were offered an a la carte menu, the prices for individual channels would soar. Paying a lot for ESPN actually helps those niche channels you love so much stay on the air. If you paid for them separately, they might disappear because they wouldn't make enough money to continue production. Also, it's been argued that it's because of bundling that "we" have been able to discover channels like AMC and fX.
The good news though is that if you really don't want to pay for a bazillion channels you don't watch, now you don't even have to have cable to watch TV. Netflix, Amazon, and Hulu have all transformed the old TV business model and will continue to do so. (RIP my social life whenever Netflix releases an entire "season" of one of its shows.) In fact, for the first time ever, pay-TV subscribers declined in 2013.
For now, I don't see the cable television business model changing. At least not in the immediate future. Of course I also never thought I'd walk around with a portable computer in my hand at all times or have a robot that vacuums my living room while I'm out.
ANYWAY, what I really want to know is: How many channels do you watch and which shows should I add to my growing list? (Don't worry: I just discovered Orphan Black. Already obsessed.) Tell me in the comments, please!

More youth 'cutting the cord' in US, says new study
NEW DELHI: Young viewers in the United States are streaming more and say they are less loyal to their pay TV service, according to a new survey conducted for new TV network Pivot.
The 2014 survey found that young - 18 to 34 years old - viewers with pay TV service are spending as much time watching traditional TV ? 39 per cent of their viewing - as they did in 2013. But the amount of time spent streaming is up to 43 per cent of their time from 37 per cent last year.
More of those 18 to 34 years age group who subscribe to pay TV and stream video ? 35 per cent - say they are looking to leave pay TV for a broadband-only lifestyle, up from 27 per cent last year.
The actual number of young viewers who have cut the cord and use broadband only to access video was flat at 13 per cent. But the number of these ?independent broadbanders? who say they are happy streaming and do not plan to return to pay TV increased to 9 per cent from 8 per cent last year.
The survey was conducted for Pivot by research company MarketCast which surveyed 2,515 adults in the 18 to 49 years bracket, in April.

- A committee comprised of neighborhood representatives and staff from Hill Studios worked for over 2 to design a way to permanently tell the Gainsboro neighborhood's story and its contribution to, not only our City, but also to our country.
- Funds received from a Neighborhood Development Grant, an Arts and Culture mini-grant, and personally donated by members of the Gainsboro SW Community Organization, complemented by in-kind design assistance by Hill Studios and in-kind installation services by the city's Dept. of Public Works resulted in 8 interpretive history panels being created and mounted on walls within the Wells Avenue Plaza located directly across the street from the Hotel Roanoke's Wells Avenue entrance.
- The panels tell the story in text and photos of one of Roanoke's earliest neighborhoods - the Town of Gainsborough - chartered in 1835 and the settlement and evolution of Northeast and Northwest Roanoke.
- In addition to telling the neighborhood's history, these panels also speak to the contributions made by African-Americans from the community who significantly influenced social life, business development and advanced civil rights-locally, regionally, and nationally-highlighting African American role models of the past for citizens today, thereby promoting cultural understanding for future generations to come.

IMAX Corporation announced that Alice in Wonderland, directed by Tim Burton and starring Johnny Depp, Anne Hathaway and Mia Wasikowska, posted record opening weekend results, with 188 domestic IMAX theaters contributing $12.1 million of the film's overall opening gross of an estimated $116.2 million during the weekend from Friday, March 5 through Sunday March 7, which represents an approximate 27 percent increase over IMAX's previous opening weekend record. The IMAX release contributed approximately 10.5 percent of the overall domestic box on an estimated 2.5 percent of the total screens, and IMAX theateres posted a domestic per screen average of $64,362.
Internationally, the film's IMAX release generated approximately $3.1 million from 53 IMAX theaters, bringing the global IMAX opening weekend total to $15.2 million. The film is scheduled to open day and date in 29 additional international IMAX theaters in the weeks ahead. The special IMAX 3D release has been digitally re-mastered into the unparalleled image and sound quality of The IMAX Experience with IMAX DMR (Digital Re-Mastering) technology.
"Disney delivered an amazing film perfectly suited for IMAX, and this record-breaking opening weekend demonstrates that new audiences are seeking out IMAX 3D," said IMAX CEO Richard L. Gelfond. "We're pleased to represent so much of the overall box office on an opening weekend of this magnitude, and these terrific results reaffirm our belief that the premium IMAX Experience -- and what our brand represents to consumers -- cannot be replicated, and we look forward to continued success in the weeks ahead."
"We're off to a terrific start for 2010, and with the growing popularity and momentum of 3D, the timing of Alice in Wonderland is ideal, and the strong word of mouth should keep audiences filling IMAX theaters," added Greg Foster, Chairman and President of IMAX Filmed Entertainment. "The combination of Tim Burton's incredible creativity, Johnny Depp's universal appeal and the talented team at Disney has created a powerful 1-2-3 punch, and we're very excited that IMAX is a part of it."
Visionary filmmaker Burton has put his distinctive touch on the combination live-action and performance capture version of Lewis Carroll's classic tale Alice in Wonderland. The all-star cast includes Depp, Hathaway, Helena Bonham Carter, Crispin Glover, Alan Rickman and Wasikowska as Alice.

Probably not. But if living standards were to fall, the immigrants would simply stop coming. Below GDP per capita of $20,000 or so, net migration approaches parity. $20k is effectively a floor to how much living standards could fall. But even that's not likely to be reached because even rapid immigration is generally a boost to economic growth.
So basically cutting the GDP/capita of Switzerland by four... I'm sorry but how can you contemplate something like that and not expect this to have dramatic effects on infrastructure and societal cohesion?
Again, the Gulf States, even the non-oil ones, are close to if not entirely open-border.
I'm not an expert in the region but the one country in the region I've been in, UAE, sure as hell does not qualify as "open-border"....

HistoryEver been driving along and seen "Free Ballard!" bumper stickers plastered all over the car in front of you? Well, here's why: Ballard was once its own city, home to many people of Scandinavian descent who worked as fishermen, mill workers, and boat builders. The neighborhood thrived as the commercial district (aka Ballard Avenue) grew, and by 1900 it was the 2nd largest city in King County, with 17,000 residents. In 1907, however, the city of Ballard was annexed by Seattle because it was having trouble supplying its people with water and other services. That decision is still hotly attested by some. Hence the bumper stickers.

VibeBecause of its wide variety of residents, Ballard has a very unique personality. You've got the let's-go-out-for-happy-hour crowd, the early-morning-market crowd, the trendy-shop-and-salon crowd, and the late-night-debauchery crowd. You can see it all in one spot–Ballard Avenue. This street was once the commercial district, but now houses about a gazillion restaurants, shops, bars, and art spaces. On one block, for instance, you can find the Smoke Shop (a complete dive bar frequented by fishermen), a self storage facility, a few of the trendiest bars in Ballard (Ocho, BalMar, and Volterra, for example), an architecture firm, and a music venue. Expand this example to Ballard as a whole, and you've got a pretty good idea of what it's like there.
Activities and AttractionsOne of Ballard's most-visited attractions is the Hiram M. Chittenden Locks, which were built in 1917. Engineering buffs will enjoy the well-orchestrated mechanics of it all, and dreamers can imagine sunning themselves on the huge yachts that pass through. You can also go to the underwater observatory and watch the salmon swimming up the fish ladder on their way to Lake Washington and beyond. In the summer months, Golden Gardens Park is a major destination. It's one of the few sandy beaches in Seattle, and you'll find beach volleyball courts, kite flyers, sand castles, and barbecue pits. Sure, the water is still frigid, but on the right day you feel just like you're in Maui. Every Sunday during the year, the Ballard Farmer's Market is open for business. Ballard Avenue is closed down to make room for local growers and vendors, plus a variety of artists selling their wares, from jewelry to furniture. This is one of the few year-round markets in the city, and since the selection is always changing, it's easy to make it a weekly stop.

First let me say I'm not a huge fan of seafood. I'll eat the fried, non-fishy kind of fish :/ but that makes for a crappy selection at a seafood place. That said, I've had great fried fish - this...
I don't normally go to Mo's often because I like my own homemade chowder but, they do have an all you can eat crab feed. I'm definitely up for that!

Gustave De Smet
Ghent 1877 – Deurle 1943
oil on canvas
93 x 123 cm
Inventory number 2160
In the 1920s, fairs and village fetes were a popular choice of subject matter in painting, most likely in reaction to the horrors of the First World War. This particular variant shows a group feasting on mussels during a typical family outing. But despite its seemingly light-hearted theme, The Mussel Eaters by Gustave De Smet is not a cheerful painting. The mood at the table is not merry and the mussels do not look particularly appetising. Nine figures, all dressed in Sunday best, are seated at a rectangular table. In the background, two openings in the wall look out onto other diners in the restaurant. In the bottom left sits a small dog. The perspective is somewhat skewed: the table and plates are tilted slightly more towards the viewer than the glass and the mussel bowls, as if De Smet wanted to make sure that all the objects in the picture would be instantly recognisable. The content of the painting is restricted to a bear minimum: mussels, plates, and glasses, but no fine detail.
A painting about painting
After 1919, De Smet concentrated mainly on woodcut and linocut, techniques that do not allow intricate detail, and this approach also transpires in his painting. His compositions are simple, with clear lines and well-defined fields of colour. Hence The Mussel Eaters tells us more about De Smet's style than about the diners portrayed.
