So this graphic tee is really easy and the turnout will make your jaw drop ("What!? I made that!?")
No screen printing skills needed!
Here is what you need:
White shirt paint
Freezer paper
and of course…an anchor picture
Blow up a clip art image to the size you want.
Transfer it to freezer paper with a pencil or pen and cut it out. Iron the freezer paper (glossy side down) to your shirt where you want it. Don't rip up the freezer paper because it doesn't iron back down as well. Also put a clip board or piece of cardboard in the shirt to keep the paint from leaking.
With a brush and the paint, sponge it on to the shirt (you may need a few coats) Notice I already ripped a little freezer paper up to check on it :)
When it dries, peel off the freezer paper and wear it proudly!
That's it!

We reported last week of Ian Usher, a British man living in Australia who was auctioning his life on eBay. Once sold, he was going to use the proceeds to travel around the world and get away from his life, which had not been a happy one since his wife left him.
The auction ended on Sunday with the winner getting his house, his job and all of his belongings. The grand total winning bid? AUS$399,300 (US$381,293).
That's well short of what Ian had been expecting and was looking to make around US$480,000. He commented afterwards to a local TV news station:
I guess I'm a little bit disappointed at the final price, I'd hoped it to be a little higher than that … But I am committed to selling and moving on and making a fresh start.
He still intends to go off travelling and believes the money is enough for him to do what he wanted. Another website has popped up called 100goals100weeks.com. It maps out his next steps and the goals he wants to achivee.
The winning bidder is being kept quiet, but not for too long as they are obviously going to be present in the local carpet shop near their new home before too long.

Matthew's Opinion
I think I am more surprised that people would actually bid on such an item, especially for the amount of money being sent and on a property they likely wouldn't see before purchasing.
I'm guessing, but expect the winner to be an Australian who has actually visited the house and liked what they saw. If it's someone outside of Australia I am very surprised they would blindly pay so much on eBay for what was on offer. They would also need to sort out becoming an Australian citizen, which may not happen depending on the circumstances.
Ian is obviously disappointed with the amount he has got, but thankfully he has enough to do what he wants. I'm more interested to see what he does when the money runs out or he finds somewhere to settle down again.

South Korea's Kim Ye Jin wins Miss Deaf International
Kim Ye Jin emerged as the winner of Miss Deaf International in the 2014 Miss and Mister Deaf International competition held in London on August 5. The beautiful Miss Kim actually only decided to compete in the pageant because she couldn't find others to represent South Korea, and she had to prepare by learning the necessary skills.
Kim Ye Jin (South Korea) -- Miss Deaf International, and Aarron Loggins (USA) -- Mister Deaf International 2014.
The Miss and Mister Deaf International pageant first started in the U.S. in 2010, and this year marks its fifth anniversary. At first, Miss Kim didn't think about participating in the event. She set up the non-profit Miss & Mister Deaf Korea a few months ago to help others enter the event. But she couldn't find the right candidate and finally decided to enter the event herself.
Can exes sort through old feelings and new relationships to find true love? Find out in Discovery of Romance
But first, Miss Kim had to overcome some hurdles in order to compete. She prepared by taking lessons to master traditional Korean drum dance, and she taught herself international sign language. She watched others practice in London to pick up tips in runway walking. She also paid for all the expenses herself. As in other pageants, the contestants are evaluated on their walk and on their interview. Traditional costume and swimsuit competition are also included in the event.
During the interview, Miss Kim answered by sign language and writing, adding emphasis with her facial expressions and gestures. She said, "It is important in the pageant for the deaf to show how they have become more strong-willed and considerate as they have to fight to overcome prejudices in society. I think the role of Miss Deaf is to use such experience and character to help those with disabilities to live in harmony with others."
For winning the competition, Miss Kim received a prize equivalent to a one-year trip around the world. She is working to start a business that will offer tour guides to foreign deaf tourists visiting Korea, and she is now busy building a website for her new agency.
Congratulations, Kim Ye Jin, Miss Deaf International 2014!

Elle Fanning continues to impress with her film choices. Her latest anounced project is Wadjda director Haifaa al-Mansour's A Storm in the Stars, a biopic of Frankenstein author Mary Shelley.
A Storm in the Stars will focus on 17-year-old Shelley's tumultuous relationship with the married poet Percey Shelley and the work of writing her enduring masterpiece. (Shelley was 21 years old when Frankenstein was published.)
The biopic will mark the fourth time the 16-year-old Maleficent actress has worked with a woman director. She previously starred in Sally Potter's Ginger and Rosa and co-starred in Sofia Coppola's Somewhere and Jessie Nelson's I Am Sam.
"Elle is amazingly smart and talented and very much relates to Mary as a young woman," said Storm producer Amy Baer. "She is going to do something extraordinary in this role that will transition her from a compelling young adult to a formidable leading lady."
Rounding out the female-led film are screenwriters Emma Jensen and EPs Rebecca Miller and Joannie Burstein.

Lee Min Ho is a sweet charmer in choco pie commercial
Lee Min Ho has found a new way to entice us. We have a new ad from Orion Choco Pie starring Prince Charming himself who tells us his favorite sweets will melt instantly in the mouth. (Caution: If you have weakness for chocolates or sweet-talking guys, you might want to think twice before you enter!)
You will hear the word 'Q Di' which is the phonetic expression for 'Cutie' in Chinese.
Glad that they used Lee Min Ho's own sweet voice to say the last line: "Multi-layered charm, Cutiei"
Does 'Multi-layered Charmer' describe Lee Min Ho or the chocolate sweets? (I'll take both.)
What do you think about the chocolate frosting leaving a shimmer on his lips?
I recall that Lee Min Ho drank so much Honey Pomelo Tea when filming the Tenwow Tea
commercial that he admitted to going to the restroom a lot. Here, he looks like he really ate the Q Di choco pie, too. Such is the hard work he has to do to satiate our appetite for
him choco pies.

The Fall Market in Baltimore is coming up quickly! This wholesale market runs from September 7 - 9. I will have three new releases available at the Market. Without further ado, here is a sneak peak of the goodies to come...
The first is Indian Summer. I will post another photo once the frame comes in. I expect it today. It is a beauty from Priscilla's Pocket. Indian Summer features a warm autumn palette, just the right hues to remind us of the in between time between summer and fall. From the center of the design, a By Jupiter! sun charm radiates its warmth. The charm is included with the chart. The model was stitched with DMC floss on 35 ct. Lambswool linen from Wichelt.
Next is Sonnet, inspired by Shakespeare's most famous sonnet, 116. I absolutely love this design and once I started working on it the ideas kept coming, so Sonnet is a little booklet with charts and instructions for three projects. The main chart is a perfect memento of any special occasion. An alphabet is included, so you can personalize the initials and dates. If the dusty pink/reds don't fit your purpose, then changing them is very easy. Just use four shades of the same color, from light to dark, and you will change the entire personality of the piece. The model was stitched on 35 ct. Lambswool linen from Wichelt with floss from The Gentle Art.
I know, two projects stitched on the same linen? What is up with that? I absolutely fell in love with this linen and knew the moment I saw it that it was the perfect fabric for Indian Summer. Then, while choosing the colors for Sonnet, I just happened to place them on top of a scrap of the fabric and once again, there was no other fabric.
Sonnet also features a pincushion design. The model was stitched on 32 ct. Belfast linen from Zweigart in Dark Chocolate with floss from The Gentle Art.
The third project in Sonnet is something a little different, it is a mixed media piece featuring cross stitch. I enjoy the creativity that goes into one of these projects. Your imagination is the limit. The stitching medium is perforated paper, which is then added to a floral background with poem printed on it. The background piece is printed on the chart, so all you have to do is cut it out. And follow all of the instructions of course! There is plenty of room for your own creativity as well. Using the same alphabet from the main piece, you can personalize it with your own information and special mementos.
The third new release is the next line of Calico Sampler, M-N-O. No photo yet, I started writing this and realized that I hadn't taken the photo yet. So, I will upload that at the same time I add the complete photo of Indian Summer. But, while we are talking about Calico Sampler, I wanted to share a photo from a stitcher. I had a special request for the "W" a bit early from the Kranberry Kupboard in Hatboro, PA. Their stitcher wanted to create a special wedding piece and wanted to use the alphabet from Calico Sampler. Here is her finished piece, I think it turned out wonderfully!
Enjoy your last days of August, there is a chill in the evening air, so Fall is on its way!
All my Best,

Sourced entirely from single cane, single bunch per shoot vines, the fruit for the 2009 Reserve Pinot Noir was hand harvested over 4 days during April. The yeild is kept very low (2t/Ha) to produce a wine with great concentration and the ability to age well.
This wine has fragrant notes of blueberry and strawberry, with a hint of violets. The sweet berry fruit, dark cherry and toasted oak flavours combine with rich velvety tannins that expand and linger on the palate, creating an elegant full-bodied wine. Production 100 cases.
Sorry, this is now limited to our library stock.

Taking The Law To Police Officers and Their Unions
Police departments are meant to promote law and order. Its personnel should be people of the highest moral standing and should lead by example. It reflects badly on the department if its officers are accused of bad behavior, racial profiling and discrimination of people that it is intended and sworn to protect. These allegations should be taken seriously, investigated and officers found flaunting their code of conduct disciplined or kicked out of the force. It does not matter who supplies the information or the avenue that was used when the information was disclosed the bottom line is that a duty owed to the people was breached.
It is in light of the fore going that San Francisco District Attorney George Gascon initiated criminal proceedings against three cops in California. He is painfully aware of the consequences that might follow if those trusted to up hold the law turn their backs to it and act as the aggressors. In addition to the filing of the proceedings he initiated a committee that would hear allegations of racism and homophobia in the revealed police department. George Gascon holds a very special relationship with the police department, before his appointment as DA he was the police chief in San Francisco and was privy to the operations of various police unions. It would be very unfair if these police department unions are shielding rogue police officers from assuming responsibility for their actions.
In an attempt to save face and side track the proceedings Gary Delagnes who was the one time leader of San Francisco police department union tried to discredit the DA. It would be highly unlikely for a person to initiate proceedings that would end up investigating himself. George Gascon is a morally upright person who would not engage in thinks that would taint his career and character. He saw the wrong committed by the two deputies who forced inmates to fight each other for their own pleasure and delight.
It is the DA's opinion that the police department unions should not interfere with disciplinary proceedings. The office of the DA through its spokes person Alex Bastian strongly denied assertions made by Gary Delagnes.

The Piccadilly Cafeteria at at 3164 Government St. in the Westmoreland Village Shopping Center is closing on Sunday after 55 years in business.
A manager at the restaurant confirmed the closing Thursday evening and referred questions to Piccadilly's corporate offices. The offices were closed for the evening.
Piccadilly is one of the key tenants of the shopping center. Along with offering Dilly dishes of fried fish, fried chicken and Salisbury steak, the restaurant also featured free musical entertainment, from the likes of acclaimed local bluesman Henry Gray.
The Westmoreland Piccadilly opened in 1959. There were plans to close the location in 1993, but it stayed open after Piccadilly dropped plans to open a restaurant at Perkins Road and Balis Drive.
Liz Walker, one of the founders of Mid City Merchants, said news of the closing is "disappointing." Walker said she and her family regularly ate at the restaurant when she was a young girl in the 1960s. She continued going to the Westmoreland Piccadilly as an adult.
"The quality of the food did not drop and the staff was always very, very nice," she said. "The fried chicken was the best for years, they always had a good vegetable selection and it's reasonably priced."
Walker, who owns the Elizabethan Gallery on Jefferson Highway, said Midcity will continue to have a Piccadilly on Florida Boulevard, near Ardenwood Drive. And she notes that Westmoreland is now owned by a nonprofit affiliated with Catholic High School, which plans to improve the property.
"They have a vision for the future that will only enhance the area," Walker said. "Catholic High is not going to let that space sit there vacant."
Piccadilly was founded in 1944 in downtown Baton Rouge. The company chain grew steadily, going public in 1979.
But customer tastes turned away from cafeteria-style dining and the chain's fortunes faded. Expansion efforts through acquisitions failed to improve Piccadilly's outlook. In 2003, Piccadilly filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. At the time, the company had 175 restaurants. In 2004, Yucaipa Cos. of California bought the company for $80 million and took Piccadilly private.
In 2012, Piccadilly again asked a bankruptcy court for protection from its creditors. At the time, Piccadilly had more than 80 locations. It also was putting greater emphasis — with 70 locations in place — on a food service division it formed in 2005. It was designed to capitalize on Piccadilly's brand name by providing meals for the employees, students or residents of companies, manufacturing plants, universities, private schools and senior living centers.
During its reorganization, Piccadilly shed a number of underperforming locations and further emphasized service to institutional customers.
Earlier this year, a federal bankruptcy court judge approved a reorganization plan for Piccadilly that put ownership in the hands of New York investment firm Atalaya Capital Management. According to the Piccadilly website, the chain now has 57 restaurants across the U.S.

This pattern was made 7 years ago. It was published in Norwegian language. Now I've translated it into English.
It's a table runner with stitchery - cute and lively girls enjoying the summer.
The pattern is available as a PDF for download on Scandinavian Quilt Pattern or on Etsy.
I'm now thinking of what should be my next pattern to translate. Should it be a bag, a purse, a table runner or what? Do you have any idea/wish - send med an e-mail or leave a comment.

7 days in Split region
East of Gdinj in the valley, stands the village of Bogomolje which consists of four parts
each comprising a cluster of houses: Srid Sela, Glava, Race Njiva and Jerkov dvor.
The inhabitants use two dialects (one is of the people from the mainland), the continental
mentality and manner of dressing prevail. Bogomolje is a picturesque village stretching
along the road and has the same layout as Gdinj, i.e. several hamlets connected together.
The village is interesting from an etnographical point of view, primarily because there
are several threshing-floors preserved there, those of Perinova and Radasinova Glava.
The population is mostly occupied with agriculture.
The tiny baroque parish church (1605) has a facade from 1750 and is surrounded by graves.
There is an interesting old kitchen and ante-room in the house of Mirko Barbaric.
The village harbour (Bogomolja Bristova) is on the northern side of the island about 3 km
The road from Bogomolja to Sucuraj (18 km) passes through Marijin dvor and Jerkovici
which together with Zaglav on the southern side of the island make up Selca Bogomoljska.
Zaglav is an interesting primitive settlement in a wild natural setting with caves
containing traces of old cultures (stairs cut in rock in the cave). 2.5 km before Sucuraj
the ground descends to an altitude of only 25 m emphasizing still more the massive bulk of
Mt. Biokovo on the mainland coast.
Both shores of this narrow neck of the island, between Gdinj and Bogomolje and further on
to Sucuraj, contain numerous attractive coves and beaches of which only the largest nave
been mentioned. The following is a list of those which due to their natural attractions
have been proclaimed protected natural areas: Mlaska (as far as Sucuraj), Krivodolac,
Studenac, Divlja Vela, Divlja Mala, Gornja Didina, Donja Didina, Mala Mosevcica, Vela
Mosevcica — on the northern coast, and on the southern: Perna, Židigova, Rasohatica,
Slivanske Lucice, Prapatna, Martinovik (mooring place) and Arižišce.

Intellectual Ventures Announces Formation and Launch of CF Global Holdings, Inc.
April 3, 2014 —Intellectual Ventures® (IV®) announced today the formation of, and ongoing collaboration with CF Global Holdings, Inc. (CF Global), manufacturer of Coffee Flour™, a new, sustainable food ingredient derived from coffee cherries. Coffee Flour's inventor, Dan Belliveau, worked closely with Intellectual Ventures over the past two years to develop CF Global's overall intellectual property strategy and the technical process of converting the coffee cherry pulp into nutritious, gluten-free flour. Intellectual Ventures is also providing financial and technical support for scientific testing and product development of Coffee Flour.
Intellectual Ventures works with inventors and companies around the world to help commercialize their ideas through its intellectual property expertise and global network of business contacts. As an investor and collaborator, Intellectual Ventures will help Coffee Flour Global with business introductions and assist with licensing negotiations in the global food and beverage industry.
"Our relationship with Intellectual Ventures, and the intellectual property strategy they implemented around our technology, has been instrumental to the formation and growth of CF Global," said Dan Belliveau, inventor, founder and chief executive officer of CF Global. "As we move forward, we'll continue to work closely with Intellectual Ventures to make our vision for Coffee Flour – one we feel will change the course of coffee history – a reality."
CF Global focuses on making a positive environmental and economic impact in coffee growing communities around the world. The company's business model is structured to create a new revenue source for farmers, pickers, and mills while reducing the environmental impact of green coffee production. Until today, coffee cherry pulp has been an unvalued byproduct resulting from the 17 billion pounds of coffee beans harvested around the world each year. Coffee Flour is produced by drying and milling the previously unvalued coffee cherry pulp, thereby creating a new and sustainable source of revenue for small-scale coffee farmers worldwide.
"Intellectual Ventures has a long history of investing in invention and working with inventors like Dan Belliveau to improve, patent, and commercialize their inventions. We believe Coffee Flour has tremendous promise," said Ken Poppe, U.S. Country Head for the Invention Development Fund (IDF) at Intellectual Ventures. "This idea has the potential to drive significant value for nearly every facet of the supply chain – from farm to table."
Intellectual Ventures is joined in its collaboration with CF Global Holdings, Inc. by several other entities, including NohBell Corporation, and two of the global coffee industry's leading companies ECOM Agroindustrial Corp. Ltd., and Mercon Coffee Corporation.
About Intellectual Ventures

Dear Edison Community,
I am extremely excited to welcome you back to what I know will be an incredible year! The faculty and I feel honored to be able to teach in a school with Edison's supportive community and it's time-honored traditions. Our rich history calls those of us at Edison today to remember that education is about both the individual and the community. We seek to nurture the creativity, imagination, and love of learning in each of our students and in ourselves.
We know that knowledge continues to increase at an almost unimaginable speed and our world is becoming rapidly more complex. I remember a time when phones still had chords and were connected to the wall. Now i-phones, far more powerful than the Apollo Guidance Computer that sent us to the moon (2k of memory!), are ubiquitous…. Our children will continue, throughout their lives, to experience rapid change and it is their inventiveness and imagination that will help them to grapple with the issues we all face. Our world needs leaders who are creative and supple in their thinking. The ability to pursue relevant and good ideas with tenacity and strongly developed intellectual capacity is invaluable. This, combined with a developed sense of compassion and integrity, will foster sense of connection to their (and our) responsibility to value goodness as well as knowledge.
The kind of education we strive to create for students at Edison calls us all to live lives of purpose, meaning, service, and to take on the very real challenges facing our world, and to commit ourselves to the common good of our communities.
In my years as Edison's principal, I have seen our students wonderfully demonstrating their concern for one another and their care for the school community that they share. I have witnessed their commitment to making our world a better place and their emerging realization that they are powerful thinkers and doers. Their intellectual vigor and excitement, their collaborative and problem-solving skills, their evolving dedication to community service, make me, and the faculty at Edison, proud beyond belief.
This summer we undertook a host of enhancements to the physical fabric of our school. Our long awaited office remodel is nearing final completion as I write this letter! The movement of our office has allowed for several new classroom configurations and a larger community conference room. I think you will like the change.
Music and physical education will continue to be integral to Edison programs. The first half of the year we will host Martha Van Wormer as our music teacher and Rachel Farkas will be joining us for the second half of the year for P.E. In addition, we will continue to bring yoga and additional art and music classes to Edison throughout the year through our solid partnerships with the University of Oregon's Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art, Lane Arts Council, and other local professionals.
As we begin this, the 88th year of Edison Elementary, I hope that we continue to strengthen the connections that make this community so incredible. Connections create and maintain vibrant communities, and I look forward to being able to be a part of our already strong community. Robert Louis Stevenson once said, "don't judge each day by the harvest you reap, but by the seeds that you plant." We are planting some wonderful seeds.

The leading candidate to be CIA director under President-elect Barack Obama withdrew from consideration today amid mounting opposition from liberal groups, marking the first time that the incoming administration was forced to bow to outside pressure on a high-level appointment.
The withdrawal of John O. Brennan, a former director of the National Counterterrorism Center and the top intelligence adviser to Obama, complicates the new administration's efforts to have a smooth transition on intelligence matters at a time when U.S. spy agencies are involved in two wars and confront the ongoing threat of Al Qaeda.
In a defiant letter to Obama, Brennan removed his name from consideration even while lashing out at critics who he complained had distorted his record on the controversial policies of the Bush administration, including coercive interrogation techniques such as waterboarding, and the transfers of terrorism prisoners to countries that engage in torture.

And as she is a long-standing ambassador for skincare brand Neutrogena, the 39-year-old actress and former model, knows she has to practice what she preaches.That's especially the case since she saw how the sun was affecting the skin of members of her own family and close friends. "As I've [grown] older, I've seen relatives' moles change shape," she told the Belfast Telegraph. "They think: 'That's cute � it's like Janet Jackson'. But it's not cute � it's called melanoma". That's why a strong sunblock is always part of Gabrielle's daily skincare regime. "I use a grapefruit cleanser," she says, adding that she will use an acne treatment if she's having "a breakout". "But," she adds, "usually it's always my clear pore astringent and my trusty sunblock". Apart from some lip gloss and mascara, she says, her only other secret to healthy skin is to "keep it moving".

The Tax Increment Financing Commission of Kansas City has approved a request from Cerner Corp. for additional city subsidies for the company's massive Three Trails office project in south Kansas City.
The plan now advances to the Kansas City Council for final approval.
The commission on Tuesday reviewed Cerner's revised plan that would add about $160 million to the overall budget for the development. The project would be built on the site of the former Bannister Mall east of Interstate 435 and generally north of Bannister Road.
The Cerner campus, to be built in phases over 10 years, would be the largest office development in the Kansas City area.
The total cost of the project is now estimated at about $4.5 billion, up from the previous estimate of $4.3 billion, said David Frantze, a lawyer with Stinson Leonard Street LLP who represents Cerner.
Cerner is seeking about $110.26 million in additional subsidies to help cover 50 acres added to the development that were not in the original plan, an employee health clinic, a conference and training facility, and a low-level parking garage, Frantze said. Cerner also made layout changes to scatter buildings and parking lots throughout the site, add green space and address stormwater runoff concerns.
With the additional assistance, the total amount of city and state public support sought by Cerner now stands at $1.75 billion. Of this amount, $774 million would come from city-related tax increment financing. The financing captures all new property taxes and half the economic activity taxes generated by the project for up to 23 years.
The TIF Commission unanimously approved this part of the package, along with Cerner's request for additional assistance through a "super TIF."
Cerner is also seeking financial assistance from the state of Missouri, which will be reviewed at a later date.
"We're humbled by the overwhelming support Three Trails received from the community, and we're pleased the project will turn a formerly blighted area into a regional economic engine," said Kate O'Neill Rauber, a Cerner spokeswoman.
Frantze said he hopes the City Council will vote on the development plan in August. Assuming it is endorsed, Frantze said Cerner's goal is to start grading and major excavation work later this year, with occupancy of the first building targeted by the end of 2016.
The development is expected to cover about 290 acres, with about 4.7 million square feet of building space. The project calls for some retail development, including restaurants, shops and a hotel.
Cerner said the development is now expected to house about 16,000 workers, up by about 1,000 from a previous estimate. Fast-growing Cerner now employs 9,000 in the area.

Settlers of CTAN
Hey folks!
Back in November I mentioned a a LaTeX package I was working on for typesetting knitting patterns. I left this out for checking for a while, and finally got around to tidying it up and submitting it to CTAN. It's all up and running now, and you can download it here:
Knitting Pattern class
It works by providing a collection of useful commands which should automate all of the layout features you're likely to need in writing a knitting pattern, so that you can just write the pattern rather than desktop publishing. I won't say too much about that here, since it's all explained in detail in the documentation (and I've spent way too long reading that today).
Copyright-wise, I put it under the LaTeX project license, which seems to mean you can use it, distribute it, and modify it to your heart's content. You're also explicitly allowed to sell patterns produced using it. So if you've been thinking about writing up some patterns, give it a try! You'll need some familiarity with LaTeX, but it's very easy to pick up, and hopefully the sample template I included will make it all pretty self-explanatory.
While I was at it, I came across this other package, which produces knitting charts in LaTeX. I haven't tried it yet myself, but it looks pretty interesting.

Universal cover scarf
Hi folks!
Continuing the mathematical theme, my next plan is to knit the universal cover of a punctured disc, arranged to make a ruffly scarf.
So, what is a universal cover? The idea is to take a space, and form a new space which is locally the same, but in which any loop can be shrunk down to a point. This is useful because when we try to extend local properties of spaces to global ones, it's usually these kind of loops which cause problems.
As an example, consider a disc with it's centre missing, the `punctured disc'. A loop in this space can be shrunk down to nothing provided it doesn't wrap around the hole. To remove these loops, imagine we take an infinite number of these discs, and declare that a path which crosses the x-axis in a clockwise direction moves one disc up the chain, and if it crosses anti-clockwise, one to the right. Now if we take a loop in this space, if it wraps round the centre point we've moved up or down the chain, so the loop is no longer closed. Then any loop in this new space corresponds to a loop on the punctured disc which doesn't wrap around the hole, and can be shrunk to a point. This space is called the universal cover of the punctured disc.
Another way to see the same space is this -- take an infinite sequence of discs, each slit along the x-axis. Glue the top edge of each slit to the bottom edge of the slit on the preceding disc. You can then stretch this out to make a sort of spirally chain, which I think would make a neat scarf.
So, how to knit this? If you imagine following a circle around the origin in this spirally chain, it will form a helix (assuming you've `stretched' the same way I have, this isn't entirely fixed) in space. My plan is for these helices to form the rows, working from the outside in. Of course, since I don't want my rows to be infinitely long I'll only have a finite number of discs in my chain.
One of the cool properties of helices is that it's quite easy to calculate their lengths (which is really quite rare among curves). Since the space is symmetric under shifting along the axis of the helices (after a suitable rotation), it's then just a matter of working out how many stitches to decrease in each row and spacing these evenly along the length. This is the same problem as knitting surfaces of revolution (see also), and it will be easy to adapt the solutions from there.
The actual maths I'll carry out using Ruby, this seems like the kind of problem it's very good at.
I should say too that I'm fairly sure this kind of scarf already exists, though without the mathematical intent. Must make sure to look around and see if I can find some links to compare with. I'm hoping that not being flat will make it nice and warm, but will have to see how it stands up to Edinburgh's winds.
Happy knitting, and/or calculating!

Dennou Coil
Right, the first attempt at the Seifert surface is done, and is now languishing while I try to work my camera. In the meanwhile, here's another quick project:
Dennou Coil is an anime series we've been watching at our animation society. It's based around a group of children playing with augmented reality glasses. The glasses have lots of useful functions, they act as phones and maps, as well data functions and virtual pets. It's a lovely, well thought-out series with great characters and a nice level of quirkiness.
One of the quirks is a piece of anti-virus software which crops up a lot, named "Satchi" (short for "Searchmaton"). This is embodied as a large pink blob with a happy smiling face, which tries to reformat everything suspicious it comes across. In the context of the series Satchi is supposed to be quite scary, since he's quite indiscriminate in his formatting, and the children spend most of their time playing with bugs in the game so they're usually in the firing line.
So, I'm planning to knit a Satchi. The structure is fairly simple -- he has a pink blobby body, with a smiley face design at the top. He has two large, spindly grey `hands', and four spheres embedded in his front. I'm hoping to make the spheres removable (in the series they can detach and move autonomously), but I'm not sure how the fastening for that will work, so they may have to be fixed.
Boku Satchi!

We thought we knew Joan Rivers: that loud comedian from the red carpet and the talk shows, the one you either love or hate. But this year's documentary Joan Rivers: A Piece of Work showed us a side of Rivers we hadn't seen before. Behind the brassy persona we glimpsed a human being, touchingly insecure after all her success in show business. We also glimpsed a disciplined artist, still crafting edgy jokes in her mid 70s.
Rivers comes to Overture Hall this Saturday on a roll. A Piece of Work won her new respect-a remarkable achievement after five-plus decades in show business. The woman who fears an empty date book (a poignant scene in the documentary) has all the work she needs, including a new hosting gig on E!'s Fashion Police.
Even at great-grandmother age, Rivers has one of the most hilariously dangerous mouths in show business. You'll hear it in her standup set at Overture, but I got a preview during a recent phone interview. Boy, did I.
Have things changed for you since A Piece of Work came out?
Not changed, but it's so fun to be in a movie! I was on a plane last night with Al Pacino, and he said, "I loved the movie!" And you go, "I can't stand it! Al Pacino actually knows who I am!"
You did earn a lot of respect for the documentary.
Well, I'll lose all that respect when they see my act at the Overture Center!
You certainly haven't gotten any less edgy over the years.
I think more. Comedy has gotten much rougher, and I think it's very healthy.
Do you think you've influenced other female comedians?
I don't even want to talk about this, because I am not over with, and this will be discussed when I'm dead. I'm right there, still in the ring, and I'm punching my weight with the rest of them. If I influenced somebody and they take my jobs, I say go fuck themselves!
Is it true you go onstage unsure of what the jokes will be?
Always. I think it's the only way to go. It keeps it very fresh. You see who's in the audience, and you tell jokes or stories that they would be interested in.
What is your process for writing?
It's all oral. I come out of Second City, which is improvisational. I tape every show I do. If there's new stuff in it that I said onstage, I pull it off and look at it the next day. Then I write it on cards. You'll see, in Wisconsin, there'll be cards all over the stage. And that's the new jokes and the new ideas I want to try. If those jokes work three times, they go into the act.
How much attention do you devote to your standup act nowadays?
A lot. Every Wednesday night when I'm in New York, I go into a little club it's called the West Bank Theater -- and work on new material. It's to keep fresh and relevant. And there's so much to talk about. I look forward to doing it every time I'm in New York. Everyone there is very young, and we all have a lot of fun. Whatever happened that morning, whether it's Lindsay Lohan or whatever, that's what you talk about.
Do you ever work with a writing staff?
Every time I have a [TV] show I have a writing staff. On The Fashion Police on E!, we have three writers that sit and work with me. You have to. If you look at Jon Stewart, he has 12. If you look at Conan, 12. You look at Letterman, I think there are 14. Nobody is that brilliant solo -- trust me. The sad thing is when you see a Leno with 108 and he still sucks.
In the documentary you mentioned that Johnny Carson banned you from The Tonight Show after you left for your own talk show. Has Jay Leno continued the ban?
Absolutely. I couldn't care less. I find it so dull and so boring, and my career is so good without him, who gives a fuck, really. If it was someone I respected, I would kill myself. But I ain't missin' nothing.
How have things changed for women in comedy?
I think women are much more accepted as creative, and much more accepted as writers. Tina Fey has done that. In the old days, they always had the one woman writer on a show, to give you the woman's voice. And now you're either good or bad whether you're a man or a woman or a transvestite or Chastity Bono, it doesn't matter.
Do you think you played a part in opening some doors?
I really don't know. I know I was a good writer when I wrote for Johnny Carson, I wrote for Bob Newhart, I wrote for Phyllis Diller. I was always writing. And I didn't find any barriers, really, at that point. I think if you're a good writer they're going to find you.
In the documentary you referred to yourself as an actress first and foremost. Does that suggest that the persona of Joan Rivers is a sort of actor's creation?
Well, isn't everybody onstage somebody else? Robin Williams is not that crazy loony-toony. We all are so many people. The one onstage is part of me, but it's certainly not the only woman I am. I just love the idea that the one onstage can yell and scream. You have to be very strong onstage or people don't pay attention to you.
The documentary suggested that the comedian's life comes with a certain amount of pain...
Let's not go into sad clowns here. We have one job, and our job is to be funny. I'm very aware that the audience got babysitters, and they paid to park their cars, and it's a lot of money for tickets, and I want them to go out saying, "That was a great evening."

What our articles will be about
von Andrea Dorn
Today Embedded Systems are an indispensible part. They are used in totally different products in many different branches: in cars and airplanes, in consumer appliances like smart phones and coffee machines, in industrial robots, in medical devices and many others.
What exactly is an embedded system?
The term embedded system means an electronic calculator or computer which is embedded in a technical context. Or in other words Embedded Systems are application specific computer systems that are embedded in a larger device.
Embedded Systems take over either monitoring, control or regulation functions or are responsible for data or signal processing.
The first embedded system?
The first well known embedded system was already used in the Minuteman-missile. The application was a path-finding-algorithm which enabled the missile an independent maneuvering after a single programming. The first launch of a Minuteman already took place in September 15th, 1959.
Another remarkable embedded system was the Apollo Guidance Computer (AGC) for navigation. It was used to collect and to provide real-time flight information, as well as to control all navigation functions of the Apollo spacecraft automatically. It was developed in 1961 for the Apollo program, headed by Charles Stark Draper at the MIT Instrumentation Laboratory. The software of the AGC was written in assembly language. There was a simple operating system called EXEX. EXEX was able to run up to seven processes (weighted by priority) simultaneously in a non preemptive Multitasking process. Each process had thereby to return its control to EXEX periodically.
This shows that with the first well known embedded systems also the first mission critical embedded application has been developed. And moreover in those systems a small operating system was already used. Granted, to that time the embedded system once was considered as one of the riskiest component.
Today the embedded market is one of the fastest growing and most innovative in the world.
EXEX is not known anymore but sooner or later anyone who wants to develop embedded software must be familiar with embedded operating systems. These are usually highly specialized operating systems such as µC/OS-II or FreeRTOS but often the embedded versions of standard operating systems (Embedded Linux or XP Embedded). The list of possible Operating Systems is long.
Commonly used programming languages for the development of the corresponding software are C or C++. Due to the limited resources which are available for embedded systems (little memory, limited computing power) the software development in this area is a particular challenge although the programming itself is "usual".
A kernel typically provides application developers with a variety of other services intended to aid in the writing of robust multi-task applications.
Many embedded systems are safety critical systems, that means, when an error occurs, the life of human beings are in danger. This is the case with medical devices such as pacemakers or controllers in airplanes such as chassis controls.
This is where we – the writers of this Blog – are placed. We develop Software for safety related systems.
Why we started this Blog
In our customer projects we are faced with a lot of challenges.
In this blog we want to discuss typical ones we often deal with.
We would like you to take part in those discussions or perhaps just use the information for your next project.
Our goal is to share information since sharing information builds up a relationship. Working together and finding solutions for a problem somebody has. This causes a feeling of happiness resulting in a long cooperative relationship.
My colleagues and I like to talk to like-minded people and request the dialogue for an honest and sometimes funny communication.
And that's why we are here. My colleagues are software developer so that most of their topics will be about software with a special emphasize on safety. I feel comfortable with business topics which arise in my daily work in the embedded world.
Who we are
We are Embedded Office's Bloggers. The team of Embedded Office continuously works in safety related customer projects in products for the medical, automotive, aerospace, industrial and agricultural market segments.
Michael is one of our two CEOs at Embedded Office. During meetings with Michael you can always hear the laughter through the whole office. Michael is very enthusiastic and has an innovative spirit.

MAPI sessions
Applies to: Outlook
Before the client application can call an underlying messaging system, it must establish a session, or connection, with the MAPI subsystem.
Sessions are initiated when a user logs on, a process that accesses a valid profile and validates the messaging system and the message service credentials. Then, the process ensures that all of the profile's message services are correctly configured. The client interface you use determines the logon call. MAPI clients call the MAPILogonEx function.
Message service configuration is one of the most important parts of the logon process. The profile is the initial source for configuration information. If information for a particular message service is missing, the logon process tries to prompt the user to supply it. This is not always successful for two reasons: First, prompting the user requires the display of a dialog box. It is possible for clients to disallow the display of a user interface by passing a flag into the logon call. Second, the user could cancel the dialog box before the needed information can be added.
When a logon process fails one time, the user is informed of the failure and given the chance to retry or correct the error condition. Once again, a user interface will be displayed, if the client allows it, and the user will be prompted to enter whatever data is missing. If this second try is unsuccessful, MAPI disables all service providers in the message service for the duration of the session. In effect, the whole message service is disabled. This means that none of the service providers in the message service can work. This is done because if one provider fails logon, the other providers usually also fail. The logon process can fail due to an invalid path for a necessary resource, an incompatible version of MAPI, an unavailable messaging server, or data corruption.
Clients can specify one of two types of sessions to be established in the logon call: an individual session or a shared session. Individual sessions are private connections; there is a one-to-one relationship between a client application and the session it is using. As a consequence, client applications that share a session also share a profile. Shared sessions are established once but can be used by other client applications that need to use them. The profile and credentials are specified only with the initial logon.
Clients can log on multiple times as the same user or as multiple users. MAPI does not prevent this. Some service providers, however, might not be as flexible, returning the error value MAPI_E_SESSION_LIMIT on subsequent logon attempts. Service providers with underlying hardware limitations can be required to enforce a session limit.
The function calls for establishing a session have a collection of flags and parameters that control how the session is created. The client specifies an optional profile name and a window handle that acts as the parent window for any dialog boxes that are displayed. The flags include MAPI_NEW_SESSION, which requests that a new, individual session (rather than a shared session) be established, and the MAPI_LOGON_UI user interface flag. The user interface flag is set to request a logon dialog box.
The following illustration shows how these various parameters and flags establish a MAPI session.

Flag of Kientzheim - Image by Ivan Sache, 27 November 2011
See also:
The municipality of Kientzheim (777 inhabitants in 2008; 483 ha) is located 10 km north-west of Colmar.
Kientzheim was mentioned for the first time in 785, as Coneshaim. Once owned by the Counts of Lupen, Kientzheim was granted the title of town, and therefore, the right to build a town wall. In spite of the destructions of the Second World War, Kientzheim has kept (or rebuilt) several old houses and its town wall. The Lalli Gate, built in the 15th century, is decorated with a grimacing man's face, equipped with a metallic, retractile tongue, which was used to scoff at assaulters.
In 1563, Kientzheim was purchased, as part of the Upper Landsberg domain, by Lazarus of Schwendi (1522-1583), who completely rebuilt the castle, its main residence. Born in Swabia, Schwendi was a main general and diplomat serving the Emperors Charles V and Maximilian II. On 11 February 1565, he seized the Tokaj fortress from the Turks. The Alsatian tradition says that he brought back to Alsace the Tokay grapevine and would be the father of the Tokay Alsatian wine. This convenient tradition is not supported by any serious data (although Schwendi for sure contributed to the development of wine-growing in the region): the Alsatian Tokay has nothing to do with the Hungarian Tokay (so that the Hungarians eventually obtained the suppression of the Tokay name for the Pinot gris Alsatian wines) and has been grown in Alsace at least since the Middle Ages. Schwendi asked to be buried in the Kientzheim church, where his tombstone is still visible. The sculptor Bartholdi erected in 1898 a statue representing Schwendi holding a grapevine plant.

The flag of Kientzheim (photo in the magazine L'Alsace. Découverte et passion, No. 10, 1999) is vertically divided white-blue with, in the middle a standing black bear with a red tongue. The flag is a banner of the municipal arms, "Per pale argent and azure all over a bear statant sable langued gules".
According to the Armorial des Communes du Haut-Rhin (2000), the bear has been shown on the municipal seals since the 15th
century, represented statant except on a seal dated 1550 showing it
The Armorial Général mistook the bear for a barbet, a French water dog (vaguely looking like a bear!). The correct arms were reestablished on 4 December 1979 by the Municipal Council.

Can Andreas Pereira Push on After Manchester United Debut in MK Dons Drubbing?August 27, 2014
Tuesday night was an unpleasant experience for all those connected with Manchester United football club. A 4-0 away defeat to an albeit impressive MK Dons side was a new low in the club's post-Sir Alex Ferguson era, as new head coach Louis van Gaal continues to seek to turn around what is now a long-running decline.
It was a youthful side that took to the pitch, and the Dutchman was at pains to stress that he was happy with the effort of his younger players.
For senior statesmen like Anderson, Danny Welbeck, Shinji Kagawa, Javier Hernandez and Jonny Evans, some of whom are already residents in last chance saloon, it is a different story. Welbeck, it should be pointed out, was one of the side's only real threats. The others failed to live up to their status.
What of the younger players? It was a night to forget for Michael Keane, who once more looked tentative in his role on the right of a back three, while Reece James is another who will hope to move on quickly.
Nick Powell gave a couple of glimpses of his attacking potential but was largely sloppy, Marnick Vermijl was the most composed defender on the ball and Saidy Janko offered up a 45-minute demonstration that suggests he has a future at right-back.
For many fans, though, it was the second-half introductions of James Wilson and Andreas Pereira that offered the only hope they could take from a 4-0 defeat.
Wilson showed his predatory instincts once more and was unlucky not to get on the scoresheet, while Pereira offered a couple of moments that suggested there is much more to come in the years ahead.
All in all, though, it was a night that will have made even such cameos seem an irrelevance given the general loss of confidence and belief at the club.
What of Pereira then? Born in Belgium to Brazilian parents, the 18-year-old became the first player born in 1996 or later to appear for Manchester United when he was summoned from the bench at half-time.
That he showed one or two moments of real quality will surprise nobody. Since his arrival at Old Trafford from PSV Eindhoven as a 15-year-old, the youngster has been regarded as a player of great quality. His issue has been turning that ability into regular starring roles.
Thus far, his best spell for the club below first-team level came at the 2013 Milk Cup when he captained the under-18 side to success and earned the Player of the Tournament accolade. Since moving up to the under-21s, though, he has been unable to produce such form week after week.
United's staff, though, clearly believe in his talent, and it is not always the case that consistency at youth level equates to being able to make the step up. Adnan Januzaj, for example, was moved up the ranks quickly at United when it was felt he was not performing as expected for the under-18s following a shock FA Youth Cup exit 18 months ago.
The next couple of years, then, will be intriguing to follow. There are players who are harder working and more consistent within the United youth ranks, but it is the natural talent of Pereira that means he will be given opportunities.
It is the deftness of touch, the ease with which he can beat a man and the quality of pass that, while not always up to standard, often show levels of ability that cannot be coached once a player reached their late teens. They are the qualities that make scouts sit up and take notice.
While United finished as runners-up in the Under-21 Premier League last season, doubts were raised as to his contributions in a variety of forward roles. Yet, when it came to a semi-final clash at Anfield, it was the Brazilian who curled home a sensational shot from outside the area to open the scoring.
Succeeding at senior level is far from an exact science, but there was enough in the Brazilian's 45-minute cameo on Tuesday to suggest he could thrive on the step up. He needs, though, to be doing more if he is to force his way in more regularly in the manner of Januzaj or now Wilson.
This summer, having previously represented Belgium up to the under-19 level, he switched allegiances to represent Brazil in a successful campaign at the Panda Cup in China. While it was not a first-choice under-20 selection, the experience will have done him good, and he is now on the radar of his homeland.
Pereira has now earned himself that platform with club and country, but the next step is up to him. Succeeding at United won't be easy given the club's depth of talent in the No. 10 and No. 8 positions, while there is competition from within the youth ranks.
Given the League Cup exit, opportunities this season may be few and far between, meaning a return to under-21 action for the year ahead. The onus is now on Pereira to make a case for inclusion.
United, as with every big club, have seen natural talents come and go without making much of an impact. Pereira must ensure he is not the latest in that line to allow his big chance to quietly pass by.

Gosselin: 'Tease' Dez Bryant shouldn't be the focus of the Cowboys' passing offense
Rick Gosselin, sports columnist for The Dallas Morning News and SportsDayDFW.com and member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame selection committee, answered questions about the Cowboys, Rangers, Mavericks and Stars in a live chat on Monday. Here are the highlights.
Do you think Anthony Spencer should get more praise for his play then he does?
Rick Gosselin: I've developed a greater appreciation of Spencer this season. He's a glue guy. He helps hold the whole thing together. The Cowboys are a better defense when he's on the field than when he's not. He has a completeness to his game and seems to lack the ego of some of the other players around him in the defensive huddle. It's going to be interesting to see his market in free agency this offseason -- and if the Cowboys even let him get there.
It seems to me, Dez Bryant is really just Antonio Bryant 2.0?
Rick Gosselin: Dez has dropped a ball in the end zone each of the last two weeks. He is a dazzling playmaker -- but who can trust him to make a play? He's been a tease to this owner, this coaching staff and this offense. That's why I'd be shifting the focus of the passing offense to Austin and Witten these next three weeks when the Cowboys' season will be on the line. The quarterback trusts Austin and Witten to make plays when he gets the ball to them. Not so Dez.

Sweet tiny lil itty small baby jesus, I did something involving a "project"
I love products. I have a specific moisturizer for almost every body part...and i have no space in my tiny bathroom. So, I finally got over my fear of making holes in my uneven weird walls and put up some shelves - Amanda really did most of the driving/handholding with this project. I got the shelves at Ikea, I dont see them on the site any more :/ and the wood at home depot. With detailed instructions from Amanda (i'm ridiculously slow sometimes) I stained and sealed the wood. And thats it. Most of the products that I use daily are happily stored on a shelf now...not scattered around the small sink :)
