Hello and happy Wednesday! I thought it would be fitting to post this article about WIP's on a Wednesday the day we designate as WIP Wednesday and share what our progress looks like. It's also a chance to document what and how many quilts, clothes, baby things and sewn projects we have gotten our selves into. I linked up with Freshly Pieced today; check it out for more WIP Wednesday inspiration.
I've heard and read around that this year people want to finish up those stacks of WIP's in search of a more organized and focused approach to the creative process of quilting. I know for me that rings true, if I could just get some mental space around my quilting I think the ideas might start coming and time will not be so scarce.
So on that note; here are some helpful suggestions to get you started on your WIP pile as originally posted (expect the photos are of my current WIP's not the FAL crew) at Quilter in the Gap earlier this month as part of the year long Finish A Long which you can join up with still, see the end of the article for more details about that.
There will always be new WIP's (work's in progress) for the quilter. New ideas to contemplate, new patterns from the best designers, inspiration to be found from all over quilty internet blog land, new fabric to dream with and of course the stash to work from. As quilters we yearn for the next project that sparks our interest; so much so that we stay up until ungodly hours of the morning to cut, sew and press just one block out of 50 that is needed for that next quilt. We try to finish, oh we try really hard! But by the time all the blocks are done — well then there is sashing options, boarders to miter, sandwiching to be done, quilting (eek! even FMQ) to be tried…binding to sew. You know the list too and somewhere in the middle a WIP is born.That was a question I had earlier this year. How on earth do I finish these umpteen quilts I have around in various stages of completion? How could I even start a new quilt with those umpteen quilts hiding in the drawers? Am I really going to buy another 1/2 yard of this awesome fabric because I wantto, what about my huge stash at home? Now wait here, even if you don't harbor the same kind of WIP guilt I do, read on you may find a tip that speaks to you…or please share your own with us in the comments! So with that here are some suggestions for you to use or ignore as you like.
I love all my quilts, all my projects equally but invariably the quilts that get done are destined for a purpose. Something for my shop, a family member or Portland Modern Quilt Guild commitment. All of these are equally good reasons to finish, but what about those inspired quilts of the moment that happen all at once yet wait for months, years maybe to be completed. How to finish those? Hmmmm….
I love all my quilts, all my projects equally but invariably the quilts that get done are destined for a purpose. Something for my shop, a family member or Portland Modern Quilt Guild commitment. All of these are equally good reasons to finish, but what about those inspired quilts of the moment that happen all at once yet wait for months, years maybe to be completed. How to finish those? Hmmmm….
1. Throw them out. Gently of course, slowly at first. Put the pieces into a bag and close it shut. Leave it the closet for a month or two. Open it up and ask is the world going to end if I don't have/save/hoard this unfinished quilt? If the answer is still yes after a month then salvage what fabric you like for scraps and donate the rest. Let go of the WIP guilt.
2. Make it to donate it. Okay if number 1 freaked you out then consider finishing your quilt with the intent to donate it. There are lots of organizations that would love to pass on a quilt. Every year Kate at Swim, Bike, Quilt! hosts a 100 quilts for kids initiative and she shares a few worthy charities that need your finished WIP quilt. If you are involved with a guild check with one of your officers about the current charity they are giving to. Make some else warm and give yourself the warm fuzzies too.
3. Try out a new technique. Okay you have a few quilt tops done and you just can't bring yourself to quilt them out. Take a big gulp, sandwich it up (Elizabeth Hartman has a great tutorial for this) and try something new that you've admired. By the time you are done you will be way better than when you started and you'll feel like a quilting queen! Another way to broaden your skills is to take a class, try improv, color play or free motion quilting. We can all benefit from learning and doing something new!
4. Join a support group. Seriously we all need a little help to finish these languishing quilts. Besides having a blog to shout about it, there are flickr groups, Finish-it-up-Along 2013, the Threadbias community, instagram, your local quilt guild, WIP Wednesday with Freshly Pieced or join a quilting bee. Having a group of people to encourage you in your work, especially when the labor part of the love of quilting kicks in will increase those chances of completing a project.
5. Get organized! You might not even know how many WIPs you currently have! (I am currently guilty of this 100%, my list isn't many but I know there is one or two I plum forgot about!) Take a quiet moment and pull them all out onto the dinning room table or somewhere you've got some room. Bring out some storage like gallon zip lock bags, clear totes or shoe boxes and start sorting the unfinished pieces into the bags and boxes.
6. Make a list. Write down or create a computer document that has each project listed with the date started, current progress (i.e. blocks complete or 10 blocks to go), any supplies needed to complete the quilt and the intended purpose of the quilt (gift, donate, your couch) Having this information at your finger tips might prevent another WIP and encourage you to finish up steps along the way. Here are some other great tips I stumbled across in this blog post specifically for quilt organization at Sew We Quilt!written by Karen from Sew Many Ways, she has a whole section on craft organization! Check it out and get inspired to be tidy!
7. Edit the quilt. The fabric is picked out, the pattern decided upon and the queen sized batting bought. But stop there, would a mini quilt satisfy thatpickle dish yearning? What about the blocks that were started but never made into a quilt top? Do any of your completed tops or blocks fit into this wall hanging category? Hooray! Make it easy on yourself and edit it down.
8. Stop hoarding fabric. This might break a quilt commandment but it's true for me. I try really hard to use the fabric I have to complete my WIPs. Maybe that back doesn't have to be 4 yards of new flannel. First try auditioning all possible fabrics for the boarders or back before buying new — and maybe make a bold choice that pushes your usual design. Only once you've exhausted your current stash options should you hop to your favorite fabric store (online or in person) and shop for your specific WIP. Treat your self restraint with a pedicure or mocha and quickly cut into that new WIP fabric and finish it up.
9. Work on WIPs first. That golden hour when you have a few moments to yourself and you've got a ton of things you would like to accomplish (because that WIP list has been staring at you every time you go to your sewing space!). Well start off on the right note and take 15 minutes to work on a WIP. I like to do this because with a time limit I can iron a few pieces, mark a few sewing lines or stitch up half a pile of flying geese. Then the 15 minutes are over and I can mentally check those things off the list and either keep with my WIP if I'm in the mood or move on to my new love; without the WIP guilt.
10. Set a WIP goal. How much do you want to finish this year, this month or by next week? Write that down and post it next to your WIP list. Share it with your support group, take those 15 minutes to check off an item or two and be mindful of the purpose of the quilt. Having these things in mind will help to overcome the urge to shove the WIPs into the back of the closet.
So did one of these tips speak to you or do you think I'm completely loco? Ha! I admit there's a little crazy in these ideas but used in the right scenario it just might transform a WIP into a beautiful finish. What is your strategy for creating a quilt from start to finish? Share your get it done tips with us!
I plan on making my WIP list up this week so I know where to focus my efforts in 2013. I'll be sure to share my progress with you all at the Finish it up Along flickr group!

Visit Vocations Toronto at www.vocationstoronto.ca, a resourceful site in answering these questions.
If we look at the second reading today, from the First Letter to the
Corinthians, we heard Saint Paul talking about judging others and even
judging oneself. Paul is clear that God loves us. Thus we need not judge
others. Even in our own lives, we sometimes judge ourselves - sometimes
thinking that we are doing well and other times thinking that we have
failed. These judgments are useless, Saint Paul tells us, because only God
sees our hearts completely. We cannot see our own hearts.
None of this should cause us to stop trying to do good and trying to avoid
evil. God invites us always to continue in that struggle. Yet, in that
struggle, we must trust completely in the Lord. There are times when we
kind of give up because we seem to be going nowhere. Paul tells us that it
is required of stewards that they be found trustworthy. Trustworthy, in
this case, means continuing in the struggle.
Finally we see God's love for us expressed in the Gospel of Matthew that is
given to us today. Don't worry! Don't serve two masters. Seek God. God
will provide all that you need. When we are without food, this is
difficult to believe. When we are without money or any means to care for
those we love, this is difficult to believe. When we ourselves or someone
else we love is dying because of a lack of human resources, this is
difficult to believe.
Yet once we begin to see the world with the eyes of God, placing ourselves
in the mystery of His love, we are always able to see God at work in our
lives. We are always able to see God's love.
The challenge of these readings for us today is to open our eyes and our
hearts to the mysteries of faith. We are challenged first to believe that
God always loves us, always provides for us, always in present, always
hears our prayers. Once we choose to begin believing that, the way that we
understand all that happens begins to change in our lives.
My sisters and brothers, let us walk in faith and know the love of God in
our lives.
Reflections are available for the following Sundays:

International architecture firm, Kohn Pedersen Fox Associates (KPF) has won planning consent has been granted for its scheme for the redevelopment of King's Reach Tower on London's South Bank for developer CIT Group. KPF's design for King's Reach retains and transforms the existing 1970s tower and T‐shaped podium building, originally designed by Richard Seifert, to provide a mixed‐use development incorporating residential, retail, office accommodation, and an enhanced public realm.
Located on a prominent site on London's riverside, the revitalisation and remodeling will contribute to the ongoing regeneration of the South Bank. The design creates a new and exciting space for the city, opening up routes though the site at ground level, animating the streetscape with integrated retail frontages, and providing high‐quality residential and office space.
By creating a new route through the heart of the scheme, doubling the retail around the perimeter of the building, and relocating plant and support spaces below grade, the ground plane of the tower is significantly altered. The existing T‐shaped podium will be reconfigured, with the cores relocated and three new floors created. At the first floor level a new landscaped garden will create a buffer between the office and the existing residential building, and a new roof garden at the ninth level, for the new residents, gives views across London. Within the tower the upper floors, levels 11 to 36, will be converted from office use to 173 residential apartments.
The vision for the development is a simple retained structure which does not erase the memory of the 1970s building but adds a new layer of renewal and adaptation. The treatment of the facades and variety in the use of materials accentuates the verticality of the building and also combines concrete, glass, light metal and warm wood defining new spaces whilst creating an intimate scale.
KPF's design targets a BREEAM 'Excellent' rating. Reusing the concrete structure is anticipated to save in excess of 6,000 tonnes of CO2 while a number of energy efficiency measures are being used, including a highly effective heat recovery system, low energy lighting systems, high efficiency water cooled chillers, a heat store to reduce peak loads, and provision for linking in the future to district heating and cooling schemes. Replacing the façade will also result in a reduction of approximately 72% of the current annual heating and cooling demand.

People love Siri. Well, unless they have an accent or a slight speech impediment. What's important is that Apple really wants everyone with an iPhone 4S use Siri to schedule appointments and look up coffee shops. The Android Market is already filled with enough Siri clones to keep Apple's lawyers busy for years. It's time for Windows Phone to get in on the talk-to-your-phone-in-public fun with Ask Ziggy.
What's it do?
Ziggy is Siri for Windows Phone. Hell, the app even looks like Siri. In addition to using the app to call contacts, send tweets, solve maths problems, and update your Facebook status, the app can switch from female to male. Like Siri, the app needs access to the Internet in order to fetch the information needed for your query.
Why do we like it?
If you can get Siri to work for you, it's actually pretty great. The same can be said for Ziggy. Need to call a friend but don't want to search through your contacts? Ask Ziggy. Need the weather in Wichita, Kansas? Ask Ziggy. Need to find a Mexican restaurant because you must have a taco right now? Well, you get the point.

Johnny Depp doesn't give a f-ck
Johnny Depp covers the new DETAILS. Into The Woods is coming out soon. He plays the Big Bad Wolf. So this interview is about how he doesn't give a f-ck anymore.

No neck for your birthday
It was Kellan Lutz's birthday this weekend. So he celebrated at a cheesy party in Vegas. As you can see, he was not accompanied by a neck, and unfortunately no one thought to give him one. That's what my present to Kellan would have been: a neck. And if you could gift someone with the ability to not be so f-cking lameass, I would have bought him that too. Full Story
Emma Watson tweaked us up last week teasing about a new project on Twitter. Turns out, it's just a cosmetics company contract. Lancome. The company uses a rose in their marketing. And Emma was born in Paris. Full Story

The Movie Awards are not a secret. They know. They always know. This is why Rachel & Ryan were able to choreograph their classic.

Every stamp tells a story or more. As such it is pretty amazing that many stamp bloggers (yours truly included) experience writers block from time to time. I think Stephen King, godfather of modern horror literature, nailed the cause perfectly when he once said "Amateurs sit and wait for inspiration, the rest of us just get up and go to work".We admit that it is hard, maybe impossible to make any progress unless we feel inspired by the topic. If there is something we've learned over the years, it is that looking at alternative angles can make a world of difference in how fun (or unfun) something feels like.
Not so long ago we started experimenting with something we'd describe as mounting collections digitally. In practice, it's very similar process to creating DIY stamp album pages, but there's one major exception: the pages are never printed on paper. They remain in digital format all the way, meaning that I even mount my stamps (or more precisely images of them) digitally too… Below is a small teaser how the collection of "Russian Empire era Finland" looks when done like this.
Howard Koslow, a painter and illustrator who for more than four decades designed many of the most recognizable stamps issued by the United States Postal Service, including a 1994 series depicting famous blues and jazz musicians and 30 stamps depicting coastal lighthouses, died on Jan. 25 at his home in Toms River, N.J. He was 91. The death was confirmed by his daughter Amy-Jo Willig.
While packing for a trip to Toronto in 1978, Irwin Weinberg sent his teenage son Jack to a military surplus store with instructions to buy a pair of handcuffs. On the plane, Mr. Weinberg quietly chained one of his own wrists to his briefcase.
The first 'Air Mail' stamp was issued on 10 November 1931 even though there was no regular airmail service at the time.
Pictures of the King or Queen have been on a number of New Zealand stamps over the years. When the King or Queen died, a new stamp showing the new King or Queen was usually issued. For example, when Queen Victoria died, a new King of New Zealand, King Edward VII, was crowned. New Zealand stamps with his picture were issued in 1909.
New Zealands first stamps were called the "Full Face Queens" because the picture on them was a front view of the head and shoulders of Queen Victoria. There were three stamps in the Full Face Queen set. They cost 1 penny (1d), 2 penny (2d), and 1 shilling (1s) and were printed in Britain.
The story of the mailbox has more than five centuries, although the exact date and time of the invention of such an important subject is hidden behind the veil of time.
New Zealands first war stamp was issued to mark the fighting of New Zealand troops in the Boer War in South Africa. This stamp was issued on 7 December 1900.
Stamp identification is crucial in knowing the value of old postage stamps. Look up your old stamps in a stamp catalogue.

I finished this afternoon!! Isn't she beautiful? This was a very easy piece to stitch. She will be framed and hung in my craft room along with Midsummer Night's Fairy that I stitched earlier. I just need to take the time to find the right frames.
I am starting the new Lizzie Kate Christmas Double Flip-Its tonight. I have all but one of the threads and a piece of fabric that is perfect. Lisha and I are doing this as a stitch along, just like the Tigerlily piece. I have to get started so I can stitch it before she does. She is a very good motivation for stitching.
Thanks for stopping by.

I have some progress to share...
I finally feel like I have had some time to stitch. This summer is passing so quickly and I have so much going on with work that I don't feel like I have enough stitching time. I spent Saturday afternoon at Lisha's house stitching and that got me motivated. I stitched on Tigerlily some on Sunday as well as yesterday, so I have made quite a bit of progress. Just a little bit more on her head and then her wings and this one is finished.
Also, Saturday morning I got out JDD Pomegranate and Pears. This one is so pretty. I love the colors. This one will take a bit longer to finish since the remaining portion requires a little more concentration on my part to stitch one over one. I think I will finish this as a box.
I have also worked on Blackbird Designs Union Forever. This one is actually very easy, but I only stitch on it every now and then. I just love the colors though. Can't wait to finish it.
And finally, a finish. I completed the stitching on J is for Juggler (Victorian Sampler) this past weekend. I still need to finish the hemstitching, but I need to get the bell pulls first. This was another fun one to stitch. I bought the thread pack so I wouldn't invest so much into all of the silks, etc. Even though it cost me $30 it was a savings, since I do not have any of the threads called for in the pattern. Even with me stitching the entire pattern, I still have enough thread left to almost complete it again. I only used up one of the threads. If anyone is interested in stitching this, let me know and we can work out a trade for the pattern and threads. Just e-mail me at jlregan at bellsouth dot com.

*Update*: On March 19, 2012, the pollen count in Atlanta was 8,164, breaking the old record of 6,013 set in 1999.
With today's pollen count at a startling 2258, we thought it a good idea to share with you some tips for beating sensitivity to pollen as best you can this Spring. Over 35 million Americans are sensitive to pollen, if you're one of them, this list should help:
Know the Pollen Count
Here's a great website for residents of the Atlanta, GA area to check the pollen count, which changes daily – http://www.atlantaallergy.com/pollenCount.aspx Staying on top of the pollen count makes it easier to take proactive steps to avoid sensitivity before it starts. As a general guide, here are the ranges for pollen count levels:
- Low: 0-14
- Moderate: 15-89
- High: 90-1499
- Extremely High: 1500+
Exercise in the Evening
Pollen counts are highest in the morning, but because pollen travels freely on warm, dry and breezy days, pollen levels can often peak midday. If you exercise outdoors, plan on doing so in the evening, after 5 p.m. during days with high pollen counts. For your safety, please be sure to exercise with a partner.
Wear a Mask When Doing Yard Work
If you're sensitive or allergic to pollen, it is not ideal to also be responsible for yard work. But if you must, wear a mask. You can pick one up at your local hardware store or pharmacy. Try doing yard work very early in the morning, while there's still dew out, or in the later afternoon/evening, once pollen levels have subsided.
Proactively Treat Your Allergies
If you are allergic or particularly sensitive to pollen, there are plenty of over-the-counter (OTC) medicines available to help you control your symptoms.
You should consult your allergist for the medication and treatment plan that's best for you, but getting your symptoms under control before they have the opportunity to get out of hand is wise during pollen season.
Protect Your Home, Your Car & Your Body
Keep doors and windows to your residence and car closed as much as possible when the pollen count is high. Pollen particles are no wider than a single strand of human hair, and they can easily pass through holes in window screens. Also, if particularly sensitive, change clothes and shower after returning home to remove pollen from your person and to avoid spreading it throughout your home.
If you're interested in sinus, nasal, and allergy treatment at Emory, you can visit our Sinus, Nasal & Allergy website. Have any other ideas for how to limit pollen sensitivity this Spring? Feel free to share and leave them in the comments section below!

A reader of one of my drafts found fault with my use of parentheses; I put the word "bounded" in parentheses in a statement of a certain theorem, and he replied "But the statement isn't true if the assumption of boundedness is dropped!"
That reader seemed to be thinking that parentheses mark things that are in some way inessential (as is sometimes the case in non-mathematical prose). But, as I wrote to him:
Here I am using parentheses to mean "Of course the interval must be bounded! In case some of you are nodding off, I'll include the stipulation of boundedness, but I might not include it next time." I wonder if that use of parentheses has a name?
Does this use of parentheses have a name, or any sort of pedigree that might dignify it, within or beyond mathematical writing?
I have no idea how to tag this post; it's a question about the (possibly nonexistent) subfield of modern Rhetoric that is concerned with the ways mathematicians use language to communicate ideas to other mathematicians. I'll be grateful if someone will suggest appropriate tags and add them (and I'll make a note of what the tag is, in case I need it again).

Tooling Article
Coatings of Many Colors
Low friction and wear resistance are two fundamental benefits brought by tool coatings. Coatings also prevent similar materials in the tool substrate and part material from interacting to cause tool and part damage.
The use of coatings for metal-stamping tools originally arose from the need to form stainless-steel exhaust components in automobile applications. Why? When attempting to form stainless steel, chrome in the tool-steel substrate would weld to the chrome in the stainless steel, with galling occurring almost immediately. Coatings form a barrier to prevent this chrome-to-chrome contact.
Robust, long-life coated tooling, in combination with the right lubricant in the right amount, can yield top-quality parts hit after hit. Photo courtesy Phygen Coatings.
Today, coatings can bring all manner of advantages in specific metal-stamping applications, with a number of coating options available comprising various adhesion processes and temperatures. That said, even the best coating cannot make up for inadequate substrate. Base tool material must be matched to its intended use, with the properties and characteristics selected to produce quality parts time after time.
In addition, the introduction of new part materials demands improved coating solutions, which process experts have delivered. With exotic tool materials subject to scarcity, protective tool coatings become even more critical. We explore all of these issues with leading coating-solutions providers.
High Coating Adhesion Prolongs Tool Life
For its part, tool-coating company Phygen Coatings Inc., Minneapolis, MN, applies its patented FortiPhy physical vapor deposition (PVD) technology to create a thin and dense nanocrystalline coating structure onto any tool-steel substrate. Described by president Dave Bell, the process creates a higher level of adhesion than is possible with conventional coating processes. And, other processes may use a method of adhesion that, unlike Phygen's, pulls carbon from the tools to help the coating stick. Doing so depletes the tools' carbon grains, hampering tool life, Bell says.
"Coating adhesion is the number one factor in coating success for difficult-to-form applications," says Bell. "One manager at a major metal-stamping company told me, 'There are a lot of very hard coatings, but none of them stick.'"
Carbides can play havoc, resulting in bad parts and underperforming short-life tooling. The slide on the left shows carbides exposed to the tool surface, while the slide on the right shows carbides pulled out of tool steel due to an improper polishing technique. Photo courtesy Phygen Coatings.
Temperature also varies among the various tool-coating processes. Chemical-vapor-deposition (CVD) coatings and thermal-diffusion (TD) coatings usually are applied at temperatures greater than 1800 F. Phygen's coating requires significantly lower temperatures, claims Bell, lessening the chance of distortion that can play havoc with tolerances and minimizing tool-hardness concerns.
Match Coating to Substrate to Avoid Delamination
Regardless of the coating used, experts insist that the tool substrate must be sufficient for the application. If contact during metalforming is particularly severe, even the toughest coating wears a.
Most frequently, however, coatings fail by delamination, separating from the substrate. Extremely hard coatings are more susceptible to separation if they are brittle. If the forming load is high enough to deform the substrate more than the coating can withstand, the coating will crack. And when coating fragments release from the substrate, they act as an abrasive in the contact area, speeding wear. The coating cannot hide an inferior substrate.
"We take the 'mountaintops' (the rough surfaces of a tool substrate as seen through a microscope) down," Bell explains. "This process does not create pockets to hold lubricant but provides a higher load-bearing surface for the coating to perform. The tooling is given a super-polished, super-slick film with a very low coefficient of fiction—less than 0.1 in typical lubricated conditions.
This part, following the DLC-Si coating process at Teikuro Corp., is ready for action. The process draws interest from automotive-parts makers as aluminum content increases in vehicles.
"With these coatings," Bell continues, "the tooling is less reliant on lubricant to provide a high-performance system that consists of a superior substrate, surface finish and coating, and requires less lubricant. That combination optimizes tool life in the most difficult metal-stamping applications."
More than the CoatingThat description hints at a major piece of advice from Bell: Tool coating requires a systematic approach.
"A tool coating does not work by itself," he says. "We strongly recommend, for example, that our customers use upgraded D2 materials. These tool steels have smaller carbides in their grain structure and exhibit increased toughness. When you polish standard D2, the carbides in the steel stick up and you end up polishing around those harder carbides. Hence, the roughness of the tool affects part quality and tool life.
"A systems approach," Bell continues, "includes better tool design, materials, surface preparation and coatings to give customers total value—long life and high performance. Placing a good coating on an inferior substrate is a waste of money.
"Tool polishing, by performing the last simple steps adequately, can camouflage tool problems," continues Bell. "Buffing the tool gives a shiny appearance, but a look under a microscope can tell a different story. When examining tool surfaces microscopically, we have noticed that scratches or machine marks often are present yet covered up with buffing. The thought is, 'I've already paid for the tool, I just want to get it coated and start making parts.' That is the wrong approach. It is like having open-heart surgery, then having the surgeon use the wrong needle and thread to sew you up. Scratches must be removed before applying a final tool finish."
Needed: More Vanadium and Chromium
With part materials tending toward the exotic as new recipes come online for specific applications, so too are tooling materials evolving. Tool-steel substrates designed to tackle tough tasks in ever-tougher part materials do not come cheap, and consistent availability at any price is not guaranteed.
Consider vanadium and chromium, two key ingredients in tool steels. Only about 75,000 tons of vanadium is produced each year worldwide. Luckily, only tiny amounts of vanadium are required to double the strength of tool steels and provide corrosion and abrasion resistance. And while vanadium often is employed in steelmaking, a significant share finds use in tool-steel production.
A tooling block has undergone the thermo-reactive diffusion (TRD) coating process at Teikuro Corp., one of several processes available from the company, which primarily serves the automotive industry.
In heattreated alloy steels, vanadium provides temper resistance, resulting in high strength/hardness and toughness and excellent thermal properties. Steels of this type find use in a variety of forming and cutting tools and dies.
Growth in vanadium demand is set to continue through 2013 and beyond, according to a report from Roskill Information Services titled, Vanadium: Global Industry Markets and Outlook (13th Edition). China and South Africa, the two largest vanadium suppliers, have historically been unstable in their supply of the metal, and its increased use in projects across developing countries should continue to stress supply.
Chromium also is experiencing supply difficulties. Stainless steels contain a little more than 15 percent chromium, which is what hardens and toughens the steel and increases its corrosion resistance, especially at high temperatures. Chromium also is a key component in tooling material, and it can be difficult to source. The only domestic supply source of this critical element comes from the recycling of stainless-steel scrap, with its production largely confined to the Eastern Hemisphere.
Because the United States has small chromium resources, there has been concern about domestic supply during every national military emergency since World War I, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. In recognition of the vulnerability of lengthy supply routes during military emergencies, chromium (in various forms, including chromite ore, chromium ferroalloys, and chromium metal) has been held in the National Defense Stockpile since before World War II. Since 1991, however, changes in national security considerations have resulted in reduced stockpile goals, and inventories are being sold. At the current rate, it is estimated that these stockpiles will be exhausted by 2015. In 2009, recycled chromium from stainless-steel scrap accounted for 61 percent of U.S. chromium apparent consumption, making recycled material the only domestic commercial supply source.
"These materials can be subject to the whims of governments and countries, and as a result we can see shortages and huge price rises," says Bell. "We can lessen our dependency by using high-performance coatings that extend tool life and allow the reuse of tooling."
Chrome-Plating for New Auto Needs
Primarily serving automotive customers, Teikuro Corp., Springfield, OH, chrome-plates dies using proprietary processes and equipment, and offers other hard-coating processes to fit a range of stamping-tool needs.
The chrome-plating of tools not only minimizes wear and galling, but also inhibits corrosion, eases cleaning and reduces friction. Teikuro often can turn around chrome-plating jobs within two days—a critical advantage in the fast-paced high-volume automotive arena. When we talked, the company was entering the busy summer-shutdown period, when OEMs and top tiers install new lines or extensively refurbish existing lines and dies.
"OEMs are trying to get the most they can from current tooling without spending more until new programs are introduced," says Michael Hamell, Teikuro vice president of sales and marketing. "We are seeing as-needed replating work on existing tooling as well as new tooling programs."
The company provides another process, thermo-reactive diffusion (TRD) coating, and employs a number of lines in Springfield for that process.
Forming Aluminum Requires New Coating Considerations
A notable shift to aluminum substrate in the automotive industry brings increased use of another Teikuro-supplied process—Diamond-Like Carbon with Silicon (DLC-Si). For example, Ford is expected to roll out its next-generation F-150 pickups in 2015, reportedly featuring aluminum for the entire cab—including body-in-white and closure panels—and the bed. And, this year, GM introduces full-sized pickups with aluminum hoods and suspension components in some models. To meet higher demand, Alcoa announced in April that it expects to triple sales of aluminum sheet to automakers by 2015. And the trend won't let up there—by 2025, aluminum is predicted to double its 2008 share in the automotive-materials mix, finds a recent study commissioned by the Aluminum in Transportation Group of the US Aluminum Association.
This market shift means that metalformers used to prepping tooling for steel will have to get used to stamping aluminum—a gummy material that can splinter when formed and contaminate the tooling. As a result of increased aluminum forming, metalformers must ramp up preventive maintenance to ensure that the tooling stays clean, as particles can quickly wear tools and damage coatings."Aluminum stampers must keep the tooling as clean as possible," warns Hamell. "Without good preventive-maintenance practices, shards will build up and begin breaking down the coating."
Metalformers, die designers, builders and maintainers can opt for coatings that work exceptionally well on aluminum, such as DLC-Si, according to Hamell. DLC-Si provides hardness, wear resistance and slickness, with reportedly the lowest coefficient of friction among tool coatings, including conventional DLC.
Coating Performance Relies on Many Factors
"Coatings lock in the workmanship, good or bad."
That is one idea that Hamell tries to get across to anyone looking to coat tools to maximize life and performance. The best coatings are only as good as their substrate materials and their application. Even then, substrate preparation is key. Remember, as Hamell says, coatings lock in workmanship.
"When you coat a part you want to ensure you prep the tool properly, which means a lot of work up front," Hamell adds. "If the tool surface is not prepped properly the coating cannot attain adhesion, and it will wear off. So we pay attention to preparing the surface, polishing the radii, etc., to ensure we have good adhesion. We take the time to know the substrate and its composition, and how it is heattreated and polished, along with other factors. A lot of people think that chrome fills in porosity, voids and inclusions. It does not; it just rides with those surface imperfections."
Hamell offers one final word of caution: Coated tools work more quickly and smoothly than uncoated tools. The addition of coating requires a look at equipment settings for optimal forming performance.
"Changing a major variable—from an uncoated to a coated tool—requires the stamping equipment to be adjusted accordingly," says Hamell. "The timing of the press and other machinery must allow for the fact that coated tools runs differently than uncoated tools, and that lubrication needs are reduced." MF

The olive oil-and-cheese dressing is a nice alternative to drawn butter.
- Yield
- Makes 4 servings
- 2 lemons, halved
- 4 artichokes (about 10 ounces each)
- 3/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 3/4 cup grated pecorino Romano cheese
- 1 1/2 teaspoons cracked black pepper
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- Squeeze juice from lemon halves into large bowl of cold water; add squeezed lemons. Cut off stem and top 3/4 inch of 1 artichoke and discard. Using scissors, trim sharp tips from leaves. Place artichoke in lemon water until ready to cook. Repeat with remaining artichokes. Drain artichokes and cook in large pot of boiling salted water until base of each is tender when pierced with knife and leaves pull away easily, about 25 minutes. Drain artichokes well. (Can be prepared 8 hours ahead. Cover and refrigerate. Steam artichokes 10 minutes to rewarm before continuing.)
- Mix extra-virgin olive oil, grated pecorino Romano cheese, 1 1/2 teaspoons black pepper and 3/4 teaspoon salt in small bowl to blend. Gently press artichoke leaves outward from center to open artichokes slightly. Pull out small purple-tipped leaves, then scoop out fibrous choke. Place 1 artichoke on each of 4 plates. Sprinkle artichoke cavities with salt and pepper. Drizzle 1 tablespoon cheese dressing over each artichoke. Divide remaining cheese dressing equally among 4 small ramekins; serve dressing with artichokes.

Although the Jews were their primary targets, the Nazis and their collaborators also persecuted other groups for racial or ideological reasons.
Among the earliest victims of Nazi discrimination in Germany were political opponents—primarily Communists, Socialists, Social Democrats, and trade union leaders. In 1933, the SS established the first concentration camp, Dachau, as a detention center for thousands of German political prisoners. The Nazis also persecuted authors and artists whose works they considered subversive or who were Jewish, subjecting them to arrest, economic restrictions, and other forms of discrimination.
The Nazis targeted Roma (Gypsies) on racial grounds. The legal interpretations of the 1935 Nuremberg Laws (German laws which defined Jews by blood according to racist theories) were later adapted to include Roma. The Nazis termed Roma "work-shy" and "asocial"—in the Nazi framework, unproductive and socially unfit. Roma deported to the Lodz ghetto were among the first to be killed in mobile gas vans at the Chelmno killing center in German-occupied Poland. The Nazis also deported more than 20,000 Roma to the Auschwitz-Birkenau camp, where most of them were murdered in the gas chambers.
The Nazis viewed Poles and other Slavic peoples as inferior, and slated them for subjugation, forced labor, and eventual annihilation. Poles who were considered ideologically dangerous (including thousands of intellectuals and Catholic priests) were targeted for execution in an operation known as AB-Aktion. Between 1939 and 1945, at least 1.5 million Polish citizens were deported to German territory for forced labor. Hundreds of thousands were also imprisoned in Nazi concentration camps. It is estimated that the Germans killed at least 1.9 million non-Jewish Polish civilians during World War II.
In the German-occupied Soviet Union, the Commissar Order (issued to the Germany army by the Armed Forces High Command) targeted Red Army political officers to be murdered. During the autumn and winter of 1941-1942, German military authorities and the German Security Police collaborated on a racist policy of mass murder of Soviet prisoners of war: Jews, persons with "Asiatic features," and top political and military leaders were selected out and shot. Around three million others were held in makeshift camps without proper shelter, food, or medicine with the deliberate intent that they die.
The Nazis incarcerated Christian church leaders who opposed Nazism, as well as thousands of Jehovah's Witnesses who refused to salute Adolf Hitler or to serve in the German army. Through the Euthanasia Program, the Nazis murdered an estimated 250,000 individuals with mental or physical disabilities. The Nazis also persecuted male homosexuals, whose behavior they considered a hindrance to the preservation of the German nation. The Nazis imprisoned those they termed "chronic" homosexuals in concentration camps, as well as thousands of other individuals accused of so-called "asocial" or criminal behavior.
Nazi ideology identified a multitude of enemies and led to the systematic persecution and murder of many millions of people, both Jews and non-Jews.

Audio Research Reference Two preamplifier
The fully balanced gain section, rated at 2V RMS balanced (maximum output is 30V RMS) and 1V single-ended, uses eight specially selected Sovtek dual-triode 6922 tubes, while the onboard power supply consists of a 5AR4 rectifier tube, with the resultant DC regulated by a 6L6GC and a 6922.
In place of traditional mechanical potentiometers or stepped attenuators, the volume and balance controls are spring-loaded on/off switches that control the electronic attenuator's 125 steps. Turn the volume control quickly in either direction and release, and the level rises or drops by a single step. Hold the switch to the left or right and the gain increases or decreases continually, measured by a succession of LEDs surrounding the gain and balance knobs on the unit's face. There are far fewer than 125 LEDs around the knobs—the level and balance can be changed by many steps before any change is reflected in the LED display.
Similar spring-loaded electronic switches control the eight selectable inputs and the seven-position tape-monitor facility, giving you the option of listening to one source while taping another. Four toggle switches control power, muting, balanced/single-ended in, and phase. Once configured, a memory feature automatically switches between single-ended and balanced inputs as you switch through the input choices.
The slim, compact remote control duplicates all of the front-panel controls except for the balanced/single-ended switch, which, after the initial input configuration, you won't need to adjust anyway. With volume and source remote-controllable, the Reference Two is a reviewer's best friend.
Continuing a long Audio Research tradition, the rear panel's right-channel row of inputs and outputs is placed above the left-channel row. Don't ask me why; everyone else does the opposite. Whatever: the chassis-mounted RCA and XLR jacks are generously spaced and easily accessed. In addition, there are two sets of Main outs, a Record out, and an IEC mains jack.
Everything about the solidly built Reference Two has been designed for the convenience of the well-heeled audiophile able to buy such an expensive product—everything but the 16 screws he or she will have to remove to get to the circuit boards and install the tubes. Hopefully that inconvenience won't have to be repeated for many years! While ARC thoughtfully provides a high-quality screwdriver, I was happy to have a a powered screwdriver (set to minimum torque) for the task.
Operation and Sound
The Reference Two is not intended to be left on continually, but about an hour's warmup time is needed before it's ready to give you all the music it's got. If you buy one and want to listen after a hard day at the office, switch it on before dinner—though it will play after about 45 seconds.
The remote is a pleasure to use, and, with its phase-inversion and input-selection capabilities, offers genuine 21st-century convenience. Thankfully, AR chose not to adapt a cheap, plastic mid-fi remote—an insult to the purchaser of a $10,000 preamp—nor did it encase the remote in a weighty, unwieldy aluminum sarcophagus. The Ref 2's remote is lightweight, unobtrusive, and won't tire your wrist muscles.
I used the Ref 2 in single-endd mode and once broken in and warmed up, the Reference Two sounded like anything but the proverbial "straight wire with gain." It definitely had its own sound. I confirmed this by connecting my EAD DSP9000 Mk.3 processor directly to the power amplifier via its internal digital/analog volume control, then through the Ref 2.

For some time ASTA (American String Teacher's Association) has been focusing on training string music teachers to develop Alternative String programs. Last year I had decided that I need to formally join the organization (which I haven't done yet but still intend on doing) so that I can be better informed about the programs, literature and techniques being created by those involved in the organization.
ASTA apparently has an "Alternative Styles Award competition" which I learned about after reading Rory Williams "Report from an ASTA Roundtable: ASTA roundtable finds alternative-styles education moving a step ahead—slowly" in the Strings magazine from the conference in Georgia in 2009. Here's what sparked my interest in the organization:
Vighnesh Viswanathan, 14, milled about the exhibit hall with his father and sister at the 2009 American String Teachers Association National Conference in Atlanta, Georgia. What set him apart from the several hundred teachers, dealers, and performers that visited that day in mid-March was not just his age, but his name badge, which proudly proclaimed "winner."
"It's for the Alternative Styles Awards competition," he said, smiling from ear to ear.
One of 12 string players chosen out of 35 applicants, Viswanathan, of Westford, Massachusetts, won the Junior Division of the "Recognition of Established Traditions" category. His specialty: Carnatic (Indian) violin.
"He studies classical music, too," his father says.
Viswanathan is part of a growing number of bilingual string players—those who can play both classical and alternative styles—who are seeking a well-rounded education. But nearly a decade after ASTA first embraced alternative styles as a viable pedagogy, the question remains whether teachers and institutions—from the elementary to the graduate level—can accommodate these students.

This fork is not marked, but surely silver plate and probably English. The condition is excellent, with no plate missing, no bubbling or flaking, despite its (probably) 100 years. "Prince Albert," named for Queen Victoria's consort, was introduced before 1850 and became a standard English pattern which proved popular in the United States during the coin period. The bread fork – a Victorian introduction – was meant to be passed with the bread plate. This one is 6.75 in.
Despite only a "sterling" marking, the design elements of this spoon are clearly Philadelphian. The stem is Old English with multi-field outlining, leaving an area for a monogram, JIS. The bowl is pointed with a slight flange that is described by a zigzag element, and the bowl has a geometric, aesthetic center which is both bright-cut and engraved. The condition is excellent – no bends or dents, and no wear to the surface. Lots of reflectivity! Length is 7.8 in. and weight is 42 g.
Christofle is perhaps France's most prestigious silver maker, dating from about 1840. 'Marly' is its oldest pattern, still in production. In addition to its innovative designs, Christofle also took the early lead on advancing the plating process which it had licensed from Elkington to make wares which were more heavily plated than their competitors and attractive to prestigious customers from all over the world. Named after the Marly castle of Louis XV, the pattern incorporates design element...
Durgin's 'Bead' is a full-line pattern introduced in 1893 – a very substantial pattern having a tipt end and outlined with fine beads. This is a fine example, with long tines giving the fork a sense of elegance. Condition is excellent, and there is no monogram. Marked with the Durgin logo, its length is 4-7/8 in., and it weighs 12 grams.
Ercuis is a prestigious maker of French silverplate, established in the 1860s. 'Lauriers' is an elegant pattern reminiscent of the French Empire style. A thread outlines the handle, and an oval medallion space is created by acanthus leaves punctuating the top, with delicate branches of laurel/bay leaves and berries closing off that space. The pieces are double-struck, and a beautiful MG monogram is placed in the medallion of the reverse side. This set was surely made for the European mark...
Simple but elegant and classic, the cannon handle of the knife is topped with a finial that echoes the tip. The handle is engraved with what appear to be a sort of diapering of dart-and-egg motifs along the shaft, with a border of acanthus. The blade is also classic, with engraved foliage relieving the otherwise plain surfact. The knife is marked with V Christesen --for Vilhelm Christesen whom, in 1846, opened a large factory in Copenhagen -- the mark of Simon Groth, the Danish assay ward...
This set of 6 stainless fish knives and forks probably dates from the early to middle part of the 20th Century. The form is Old English Tipt, a timeless pattern. Harrison Fisher has been a knife maker in Sheffield (England) for over 150 years. The set is very good quality – nicely balanced and in very good condition – I would guess they were little used. The knife is 8 in. and the fork is 6.75 in. They are marked with HF & Co. (the mark used after 1900) , "S" in a shield, and "Eve...
The mark on the knives is for Saglier Freres, successor to Victor Saglier (1809-1894), a well-known Paris Art Nouveau silver maker who worked largely in plate but also solid silver. Sons Eugene and Andre continued the business until after World War II. These knives, 8-3/8" long, could be for lunch, dessert, cheese – or whatever – and probably date from about 1900-1910. The classic form is punctuated with acanthus leaves and can complement many Nouveau or simpler patterns. The silver is...
This ladle is marked for Koberlin Brothers, an old silverware firm in Saxony founded in 1828, although the ladle probably dates from the first quarter of the 20th century. It is decorated simply with a single thread outlining the curving form, and with the only relief being the monogram AP. The bowl is oval, and gold-washed. It is marked with the Koberlin mark, the German Imperial marks of crescent moon and crown, and 800 fine (in contrast with 925 for sterling) for the silver content. Length...
One outgrowth of the "Josephine" pattern is the S.D. Brower variant of this design, and it probably emerged soon after 1855. A full acanthus leaf hangs from the top of the threaded handle, and smaller leaf portions emerge to form a center medallion space, inside which is engraved the name Ball in period script. The motif is repeated on the underside, terminating in an acanthus on the bowl. Condition of form, bowl and design is very good, with no spots, dents, bends or burrs. The length is...
"Nordic" in this case could be Scandinavia (Denmark, Sweden, Finland, Lapland and Norway) or northern Germany (which belonged to Denmark at times) or even the Baltic region – the marks are not consistent with official markings of the time and would point to a region more isolated from a guardein, or silver warden. Stylistic identification is the most reliable source, speaking to the straight form of the handle and its down-turned tip, and with its suggestion of a rib carried from the earl...
"Bead" was perhaps introduced by John Polhemus, but it certainly was made by several others and became a 'standard pattern' in the coin period – a Pointed Antique handle outlined with beads and topped by foliage. Like many of those patterns, it crossed over into plate and was made by many manufacturers. These knives are 7.5 in. long and are are marked for JF Curran & Co. (NY) which survived for only about 10 years, about 1865-1875. They are marked A1 – the superior quality for plating...
Introduced in 1888, the D&H Louis XIV pattern incorporates rococo elements found in patterns of the same period by other major makers in the US and Europe, though more restrained in its display of gently curving tendrils and suggestions of shells. The pattern is double-struck. This dessert spoon is in excellent condition, with no dents, nicks, or bends. The finish is excellent. A script monogram of EJM is lightly inscribed on the front of the spoon. The back of the handle is marked with ...
'Marie Antoinette' was brought out by Alvin Corp. in 1890; it is reminiscent of French Napoleon III patterns, a sort of fiddle form with motifs of laurel, honeysuckle, and cones. The fork is in fine condition. A large Gothic monogram E is in the cartouche of the handle. Length is 6 inches, weight is 16 grams.
At a hair under 8.5 in., this spoon was probably a place spoon. The handle is delicately engraved to create a field containing bright-cut foliage. The maker was the Norsk Filigransfabrikk (1889-1910) whose mark is on the back, together with 13-1/2 indicating the Loth content, equivalent to 826 fine silver, or 82.6%, as a guarantee. Since the Norwegian marking system was changed in 1891 to eliminate the Loth, this spoon was made between 1889 and 1891. There is no damage to the spoon. It has ...
This ice? spoon or straining server could be used for many things – poached eggs, peas, quenelles... It was manufactured in Brussels by Orfevrerie Bruno Wiskemann (established 1869), in the 'Fiddle Thread' pattern, adaptable to many tables. It is in excellent condition – no missing plating, discoloration or heel wear, and with no monograms – wonderful condition. Marked with the old Wiskemann mark. The length is 9.5 in. long.
Improvements in the silver manufacturing process by 1870 made possible new design implementations, and Gorham probably led the field with a spate of innovative patterns, among them "Lily" (1870). It is also known as "No. 88." The delicacy of the single die is representative of what was now possible. The youth knife and spoon were well cared for. The knife is 6.75 in., marked with the Gorham logo, the words "sterling," "Patent 1870," and "88." The spoon is 5 in., marked ...
Albert Coles (1815-1885) must have attended one of the early concerts given by Jenny Lind upon her arrival in New York, where Coles worked, in 1850; his pattern is generally placed in that year. Known as the "Swedish Nightingale," Jenny Lind won an immediate place in the hearts of Americans, not only for her voice but also for her philanthropy for which was deemed virtuous. Many places and objects were named after her. Coles' tribute in creating the double-struck Jenny Lind pattern took ...

All of the above are great suggestions. I think the one to start with small steps is what I would recommend. It will not be easy and you certainly will need to enlist your parents aid at some point. I would also suggest that you begin to take control of your life by sitting down with your mother and explain in as non-threatening a way as you can the issues with the way you are currently using the attendants. She may respond more to that than "I am working towards moving out".
As far as finding attendants, some other places to try are churches, nursing schools and vocational tech programs. No guarantees, but worth the try.

California Lt. Gov. Gavin Newsom says cities lead the way when it comes to innovation in government.
California Lt. Gov. Gavin Newsom is full of big ideas about technology's effect on citizen engagement. He addressed a small audience at the University of California, Berkeley about the topic earlier this month as a keynote speaker for an event, Can Open Data Improve Democratic Governance?, hosted by a partnership between the Center for Information Technology Research in the Interest of Society and the Institute of Governmental Studies.
Newsom set aside some time before his speech to discuss many of the same issues with Government Technology.
Our coverage last week featured his thoughts on open data and privacy in government and society, and in this latest edition of our series, Newsom claimed that cities are the leaders in technological innovation compared to other levels of government.
"That innovative spirit is localized," he said. "So there's a willingness to take some more risks and an entrepreneurial energy that exists disproportionately in cities large and small than in large states."
The innovation and change grows within the public sector, spreading from cities all the way up to the federal government. Local officials have an easier time engaging citizens with new ways of operating than their state and federal counterparts whose connection to the public is less direct.
Consequently, innovative technology's adoption still faces reticence from many government leaders, who find it difficult to embrace transformative technology, Newsom said. The solution to this bottleneck, in his opinion, will come about when government sees this as a cultural problem as opposed to a technology problem.
"The cultural mindset of shifting from a top-down bureaucracy to a bottom-up collaborative system of engagement — more platform thinking versus machine thinking — that's when we will dramatically change our relationship with citizens," Newsom said.

Driven by multimedia consumption and the data explosion, network traffic is increasing exponentially with no foreseeable limits. In this fast-paced and highly competitive industry, network service providers (NSPs) must constantly focus on maintaining profitable revenue streams and business models by building and leveraging customer relationships. This requires increasing investment in network capacity and systems that meet rising customer expectations.
Fujitsu is uniquely positioned to help NSPs master these challenges. Fujitsu is a unique ITC company – an IT product and services partner and an end-to-end telecoms equipment manufacturer (TEM) in one. This combination of capabilities enables Fujitsu to intimately support the communications requirements of both network operators and enterprise clients to deliver comprehensive, fully integrated solutions.
Fujitsu's offerings encompass NSPs' full customer, consumer or business lifecycle. The relationship starts with customer acquisition systems via multimedia services or retail operations. This is then followed by service activation through operation support systems (OSSs) and integration into business support systems (BSS). That then establishes the basis for the billing and customer relationship management (CRM) systems that power end-user customer service centers.
Fujitsu provides support all along the way. We have delivered systems for customer acquisition, CRM, BSS and OSS for many NSPs globally. Our Customer Service Desks support end users worldwide.

No plans for a downloadable expansion for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim have been announced yet, but a trademark filing spied at the end of February is believed to tip off its name or part of it anyway: Dawnguard.
ZeniMax Media, the parent company of Bethesda Games, filed the trademark; "downloadable software" is listed in the categories of products it covers.
VG247 notes that, in the city of Dawnstar, Skyrim features a quest called "Pieces of the Past" that concerns a museum dedicated to The Order of the Mythic Dawn. Dawnguard may refer to that. Others have speculated it could be a trademark for another mobile title.
