Medtronic Concerto Investigation Update
In essence, their stand at present is that this is a disgruntled employee, and that there has been no failures or complaints of any of their Concerto or Virtuoso implants to date, and they stand by its safety.
Addendum: 1 Feb 2007 1845PM - Regarding the above claim from the Reuters press release that states: "Medtronic said it has had no reports of patient safety issues related to the wireless features of the device." I have checked and found one patient injury reported on the FDA Maude database from the Concerto device dated August 1, 2006 resulting in a patient injury. It can be viewed here. I was unable to see if other reports occurred in 2007. In no way should be construed as being related to Mr. Fuller's allegations, nor related to significant engineering issues with the device.
This one device malfunction in an estimated 11,000 implants is well below the prior reported average of 20.7 device malfunctions in 1000 implants noted by the prior report of the Heart Rhythm Society's Task Force of Device Performance Policies and Guidelines. - Wes

Internal Medtronic Defibrillators
On February 3rd 2005, Medtronic announced the recall of several models of it's implanted defibrillators. The devices were recalled because they are prone to battery shortages which can cause them to fail, presenting a life-threatening situation. The battery problem affects Medtronic's Marquis line, which includes the brand names Marquis, Maximo and InSynch. It is estimated that as many as 87,000 of these devices were implanted in patients before 2003.
Medtronic is alerting recipients of defects in the following defibrillator models:
* Micro Jewel II Model 7223Cx
* GEM DR Model 7271 implanted cardioverter-defibrillators
* 7230 Marquis VR
* 7274 Marquis DR
* 7232 Maximo VR
* 7278 Maximo DR
* 7277 InSync Marquis
* 7289 InSync II Marquis
* 7279 InSync III Marquis
Medtronic Catheter Recalls:
* Model 8731 Intrathecal Catheter (July 2006)
* Model 8598 Intrathecal Catheter Distill Revision Kit (July 2006)
The list goes on, and on, and on, and on....... "Discruntled Employee"... my yoohoo!!!! When is the the FDA and, or representatives of these corporations going to stop and listen! It's a shame that so many choose to be so unkind and make ill remarks for true honesty these days just to make a buck! I highly doubt a discruntled employee would quit his job on his own and then mis-represent information that he himself was to complete testing on. I think in effect you have a truly honest, caring individual who does not want to hear of more people suffering, and or dying due to defective devices which were released through these device manufacturers without the proper test performed! Medtronic is one that has certainly shown it's inibilty through the years to do the responsible thing. This itself can be scene by their own recalls. The should at least appreciate the fact someone is trying to tell them to perform higher grade testing for such devices and that it should be the higher priority. To many manufacturers are releasing devices to early. Who is going to make them accountable when lives are at stake? and Who better to set accurate guidelines and parameters for testing then the individuals testing said devices. It sounds like Medtronic is in serious need of re-evaluating Quality level's for releasing devices without proper testing. I assumed these devices were made to save lives not harm them!? It's clear... the truth is by verification. I think Chris Fuller knew this and decided not to play anymore. If anything maybe the discruntled party is Medtronic. Do me a favor... Google "Defective Medtronic Defibrillators and Pacemakers" See what you can verify on your own and base your conclusion from there... Do not base them on what a VIP from a manufacturere has to say! :)

Hi, Chris Fuller here.
The last thing I am is vindictive towards Medtronic. Medtronic's products have saved many lives over the years. I resigned in protest in December 2005 because Medtronic refused to perform standard, basic radio tests on a high reliability, life critical device that a cell phone manufacturer would perform. How do I know this? I performed more different tests on the Concerto RFIC than anyone at Medtronic or elsewhere. I did everything I could to try to not go public with the issues. I tried for years in vain to help Medtronic understand the need for additional testing. I tried for five months (Dec '05-May'06) following my resignation to help Medtronic quietly address the risks. I warned Medtronic that I was going to go to the FDA if they did not rectify the quality and safety problems, but Medtronic refused to provide any evidence that they had taken my concerns seriously. The response of the FDA was equally frightening. The lead technical investigator, Thomas Lee, only communicated with me once at the beginning of the investigation and in that discussion he clearly stated that medical implants do not need to be tested as much as cell phones. I attempted many times to meet with Mr. Lee and provide detailed technical information, but he refused to return my calls and refused to meet with me. I provided the FDA the name of another Medtronic engineer that shared my concerns and who indicated a willingness to talk with the FDA. That employee was fired by Medtronic within 48 hours of my providing his name to the FDA and the FDA never made any attempt to contact him. These actions and many others by the FDA and Medtronic (too much to write here) were reported to former senator Dayton. He reported my concerns to the Health and Human Services Office of Inspector General who initiated an investigation. Last week I logged into the FDA MAUDE website for the first time and noticed a Concerto patient has been injured. I don't have all the info on the incident, but an instability in a concerto could potentially be manifested in higher noise in the rate sensor which could potentially make a pacemaker go into tachycardia. I again gave Medtronic an opportunity to quietly prove that they have addressed the issues, but Medtronic turned me down. I have been warned by an attorney that I could be sued on trumped up charges by Medtronic until I am bankrupt. Regardless of the consequences to me, in the interest of human life safety, I have no choice but to warn the public of the issues. So call me disgruntled if you will, my conscience is clear.

Chris -
Thank you for taking the time to make a statement here. It is very helpful to understand all of the sides of the issue.
I reported what was told to me. To be fair, EVERY device manufacturer out there has had their series of device recalls at one time or another. Medtronic's battery recalls are old news, and to their credit, a root cause was identified and corrective action taken. With the complexity of newer devices, no doubt new recalls will surface in the future.
The current circumstances of these allegations are not for me to decide. I only tried to get the response from Medtronic regarding the WSJ article that exposed Mr. Fuller's allegations.
What has been abundantly clear from all of the prior recalls is that a level-headed approach to dealing with these situations is required. Patients lives are at stake - but a hysterical reaction to the allegations and fear-mongering the public may be just as harmful for those with devices. I was reassured by Medtronic that the FDA and FCC have investigated the claims made by Mr. Fuller. Certainly there are those who will take their comments with a grain of scepticism, but I just reported what was told to me.
I agree that it is difficult to understand why an employee with Mr. Fuller's credentials would resign and expose himself as he has, unless he felt there was merit to his claims that went unheeded. But engineering these devices is a complex art, with more than one way to build components, and as such, each step of the design process must be reviewed and discussed amongst teams of engineers - some of which are bound to disagree with certain design elements. I for one, do not pretend to say that I have any data regarding the allegations, but as a physician responsible for patients with these devices, I feel it is my obligation to report what I know.
Regarding your comment "who is going to make them accountable when lives are at stake?" You can bet the legal system will have a heyday if these allegations are shown to have merit. But realize that these devices are generally miraculous and save countless lives daily. Certainly there have been and will continue to be recalls. But in the patients we implant, we feel the benefit to these devices outweighs their risks. If there is a device that is found place patients at an increased risk, based on disclosed information, we move to another manufacturer - witness Boston Scientific's loss of market share of their devices with their recall.
It is quite possible that additional information will come to light regarding this case, and rest assured I will be sure to report it as objectively as possible.
- Wed Jan 31, 11:23:00 PM CST
Chris Fuller here again. I appreciate your objectivity and I agree with much of what you have written. Medtronic's products have saved many lives and they provide therapies that no one else cares to provide even in some cases products which make them no money. Scare mongering and misinformation is only going to cause harm to patients.
Specific to device safety, I have evidence that Medtronic failed to perform standard and customary tests and that the device went unstable during testing. I have never indicated that test results show that therapy was affected. In my past an unstable circuit destroyed itself. Therefore, my concern is that Medtronic has not evaluated the device sufficiently to know what might happen. I am also very concerned about Medtronic's openly illegal behavior.
I can tell you that every experienced RF engineer that worked on Concerto had concerns about how Concerto was tested. In fact, I was not the most vocal RF engineer raising concerns within Medtronic. I have emails expressing concern by or discussing concern of all experienced RF engineers. Even with a consensus from all experienced RF engineers that testing was inadequate as compared to standard practice, Medtronic management refused to consider additional testing. This week Medtronic admitted to the media that they adopted some of the concerns I raised. I do not recall Medtronic ever telling me that they implemented any of my recommendations, except correcting their illegal labeling practices.
Medtronic refused to share the results of their additional efforts with me and expected me to take their word that they acted appropriately. If Medtronic had not behaved so unethically and illegally I might have taken them at their word. Even so, I gave Medtronic every opportunity to resolve the issues quietly.
One last comment regarding FCC violations, you can search the FCC website for Medtronic's FCC submissions. You will find almost no submissions for the time period prior to 2003. Every Medtronic device prior to 2003 was required to have a license or a waiver. None of Medtronic's devices were operating legally in the U.S. or Europe for most of the history of the company. Medtronic was well aware of their illegal behavior because they once performed FCC testing for other companies (a function spun off to the company TUV in Wisconsin in the 1980's). Medtronic refused to properly label their devices, again an FCC and European violation. Part of my job was to help Medtronic get legal with the FCC and in Europe. In that I accomplished my job (though I had to resign to complete the job).
I have nothing to gain personally or professionally from going public and everything to lose. I consider it a personal failure on my part that I was unable to convince Medtronic to consider patient safety first.
I have faith the truth will eventually come out. I am happy to provide evidence supporting any of my allegations. I realize it's hard to believe what I say. It's true that the craziest things happen in bad fiction and real life.

Biomedical Engineers Design an Implantable Cell Retriever and Reprogrammer
A tiny, implantable device has pulled adult stem cells out of a living rat with a far greater purity than any present technique.
The test of the device designed by Michael R. King, associate professor of biomedical engineering at the University of Rochester, will be reported in the March 3 issue of the British Journal of Haematology.
"It's the kind of research that, before we tried it, we never would have expected such a remarkable result straight out of the gate," says King. "We're finding we can play off the hydrodynamics of moving blood to isolate and manipulate specific cell populations with great efficiency."
King is at the forefront of a new field; manipulating stem cells, white blood cells, and even cancer cells by exploiting the mechanics of the cells' movement with such precision that he is having success capturing and even reprogramming several cell types as they pass through the device, he says.
A chance encounter between an engineer and a hematology clinician gave rise to the field in 2002. King was studying how certain white blood cells, called neutrophils, know how to migrate to a point of infection. He observed how, near an injury site, the walls of the nearby blood vessels expressed an adhesive protein called a selectin, and if passing neutrophils brushed against these selectins, they stuck to the vessel wall.
But the cells did not remain stuckthey rolled. With a precise balance between the adhesion of the selectins and the forces of the flowing bloodstream, the cells could move much more slowly as they approached the infection site. With that slowed pace, the cell can look for a second signal on the vessel wall that tells the cell to exit the vessel by squeezing between cells in the wall and moving directly to the site of infection.
One reason the system is so effective is that only the neutrophils respond to those selectins, so only neutrophils slow down in the blood.
King was working out the physical dynamics of this neutrophil rolling in his office one day when Jane Liesveld, a hematology clinician doing work on bone marrow stem cells at the University of Rochester, walked by and noticed a poster of King's work in the hallway outside his office.
"She dropped in and said, 'I have a pretty plentiful source of primary stem cells from patients. Can you think of any biophysical research to do with that?'" says King. "The stem cell angle just fell from the sky."
As King worked with Liesveld he found that the basic rolling mechanism was the foundation of a number of other processes, including stem cell transplantationa natural phenomenon where stem cells move in and out of bone tissue via the blood. In 2004, he found that he could coat a material with specific adhesive selectins and capture living stem cells. This collaboration resulted in two human stem cell papers published just within the last month: in Biotechnology Progress (Charles et al., 2007) and Clinical Chemistry (Narasipura et al., 2007).
In the new British Journal of Haematology paper, King and colleagues show they can take the process a step further by implanting the device in a living rat with the selectin coating remaining active for 1-2 hours. When the tube was removed, King found he'd indeed captured cells straight out of the bloodstream, including contaminantsnon-stem cellsas expected. What he didn't expect was how many of the cells were viable stem cells.
"I was astounded," says King. "More than 25 percent of the sample was stem cells. It's amazing because even when you use drugs to increase the number of free stem cells in the blood, they still only make up less than 1 percent of all cells. If you use traditional methods to collect stem cells, centrifuging the rat's blood, even in these drug-treated rats you might get 3 or 4 percent stem cellsmeaning only 3 or 4 percent of the cells you obtain are stem cells."
King points out that centrifugal methods currently produce an overall higher stem cell yield because they start with far more blood material, but he believes his microscale device can be scaled up to significantly larger capacity.
King is even more enthusiastic about his work in reprogramming cells that pass through his device. As the cell rolls across the adhesive surface, it can be forced to contact other proteins on the surface. King says these proteins can be designed to steer a stem cell's development, forcing it to become a specific type of blood, bone, or muscle cell.
King hopes someday an implantable device could continuously reprogram errant neutrophils, but he is already hard at work on a device that holds the same promise for cancerous cells.
Cancer cells use the same rolling mechanism to travel around the body and lodge in interstitial tissue, so King has already focused on isolating the selectins that cancer cells respond to. His lab is working to create a microscale tube that might attract cancer cells and use "permanent" receptor-mediated triggering proteins to reprogram them to self-destruct. With his microscale tube device, King has already verified that he can control the rolling adhesion of various types of cancer cells, including leukemias, prostate, retinoblastoma, and colorectal cancer cells.
"One of our ultimate goals is to develop an implantable device that will selectively remove metastatic cells from the blood," says King. "Those cells can predate detectable tumors by years, so we might catch them before they become dangerous."
This research was funded by the New York State Foundation for Science, Technology and Innovation, and by CellTraffix, a company in which King holds a financial interest. Other authors on the British Journal of Haematology paper include University of Rochester postdoctoral students Joel C. Wojciechowski and Srinivas D. Narasipura, doctoral student Nichola Charles, Deanne Mickelsen, laboratory technician, and Martha L. Blair, professor in the Department of Pharmacology and Physiology.

Of what significance are the things you can forget?"
— Thoreau
…I realized my grandfather knew things that other people did not…And as I came to know him…As I came to know him…Oh I could hardly believe my good fortune. I swore then I'd cleave to that old man like a bride. I swore he'd take nothing to his grave."
— Ben Telfair in Cormac McCarthy's The Stonemason
Your great grandfather built one of the coolest things in this county."
— Kathy Freundel
There was a mill — there still is — on the old road from Westminster to Taneytown in that region of northern Maryland called the Piedmont. It was both a grist mill and sawmill and its name among locals is Roop's Mill, though you will see it on some maps identified as Roop Mill. It was originally built in 1794 and it lies on the south side of what is now Maryland Route 140, which on this particular stretch is called Taneytown Pike, though my family has always called it Taneytown Road (the first two syllables are pronounced like the word "tawny").
The Roop's Mill complex, which includes the mill, a barn, the 1825 homestead of David Roop and the ruins of a four-span iron footbridge, was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2008. The Maryland Historic Trust claims that Roop's Mill is significant for its association with Carroll County's grist milling industry, and notes in particular that "the remains of the sash saw and the hydroelectric system are especially rare" and "the variety of extant machinery is particularly significant". The trust also asserts that the pedestrian suspension bridge, which it calls "innovative", is the only example of its type in the region. The bridge links the house with the barn over the wide bottom through which meanders Meadow Branch Creek, a branch of Big Pipe Creek.
Folks, my great grandfather Benjamin built that bridge. Or at least, it is common knowledge in my family that he did.
The story has come down to me and my siblings through my father, who remembers sitting in the back seat of the car on trips out along Taneytown Road for family events in Mayberry, a village near Taneytown, and hearing his father James say as they passed the old bridge at Roop's Mill, "Kids, you know your grandfather built that bridge!" Of course they knew. He reminded them of this fact every time they passed the bridge.
Below is a photo taken when the foliage was off, in which you can see what's left of the bridge spans in the distance running out from behind the right side of the mill building.
This is an example of collective memory working perfectly right up until now and hopefully beyond now, because when I drive past Roop's Mill I'm going to say the same thing to my daughters in the back seat, only I'm going to prepend two additional greats.
On my dad's side, starting with him, I know the names of my forebears back six generations (I'm a seventh son) to Johann, the German farmer who immigrated from the Palatinate (Pfalz) region near the Rhine in 1738 aboard the Davy and settled in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, then later moved south into Maryland. In 1992 I visited my relatives "back East", and my dad's sister Miriam and I buzzed around the countryside looking for our forefathers in various churchyards. No one knows where Johann's bones repose, but his son John, my great great great grandfather, is buried below a stone at Baust Church that is illegible and would be unidentifiable except that at some time in the last century the Daughters of the American Revolution put a metal plaque on the back of it, because of his services in that dust-up with King George.
Miriam, or Mim or Mimmy as we call her, took me to see this grave, the oldest in the family that we have knowledge of. Like a loose tooth the marker leans out of the row it shares with its neighbors, one of which marks the grave of his wife, Margaret, my great great great grandmother. The spelling of our last name on Margaret's stone captures our surname in transition. We also found Benjamin II, the farmer and stonemason who built the bridge at Roop's Mill, in a Mayberry cemetery. But we didn't know for sure where to find Elder Benjamin, whom we also call Benjamin I, and his grave was the great historical treasure we were looking for that day. From written family records, we suspected he was buried in Uniontown or Copperville.
On our adventure that day we passed Roop's Mill, and Mim confirmed the story my father had told me. She said that every time they passed that place my grandfather would say — and here she interjected that they would always look at each other and mime him and giggle as he said it — "you know, kids, your grandfather Benjamin built that bridge!"
We got to Uniontown late in that warm spring day and quickly found the town's cemetery across from the United Methodist Church on the main drag (there is no other drag; it's a town along a rural highway) and searched it thoroughly but could not find Benjamin or his wife Catherine. We were hailed by a clergyman who saw us groping around and took us inside the rectory and showed us a detailed map of the cemetery. Our kinsman was not there. It was then that the question of my great great grandfather's religious denomination was raised, and we were told a moment later that we must be at the wrong Uniontown cemetery. There was another? Yes, St. Lucas Cemetery, on the edge of town where another road branched off to the north.
The sun was already down. My aunt and I disappeared in that cartoon way that left behind a bullety sound and a couple of curled whoosh lines where we had sat a moment before. Gravel spat out from behind Mim's tires as she gunned the engine and spun her old Buick out onto Uniontown Road again. We had nor flashlight, flint nor tinder, but we figured there might still just be time before dark to find the old man's grave.
I want to pause here and return to the West Coast to pose a question. How does the hull of a ship that wrecked on the beach less than ninety years ago emerge from an eroding wall of sand without anyone in the nearby town being able to remember what ship it was or even the fact that it was buried there? Historians are pretty much in agreement that the bulky wooden keel and ribs that last winter's storms uncovered at Washaway Beach on the Washington coast are those of the Canadian Exporter, which missed the entrance to Wilapa Bay in a fog in 1921 and broke in two, but no one personally remembers this. No one has come forward and said, "oh yeah, my grandfather used to talk about this big wreck on the beach. It was visible for decades before the sands covered it up," or "I have a memory of my dad taking me out to see this old wooden hull." The emergence of this maritime skeleton from its sandy closet has caught everyone by surprise.
How does that happen? How does an entire community forget individual components of its history? How does a family lose the graves of its forebears?
The question of how collective memory fails is one that my friend Michael and I ponder in conversation ever and anon. He has a lithograph, one of only a handful made, of a painting of Lincoln signing the Declaration of Emancipation. It belonged to his mother while she was alive and he has had it restored. It is worth some not insignificant coin. His mother could not remember who — her uncle, her father — had given it to her, but the story in Michael's family is that somebody or other was refurbishing a county courthouse or some other such government office and discovered the thing, for all he could tell abandoned, and salvaged it. Michael similarly asks, how does a body of humans collectively forget something like that, like the fact that among the courthouse's assets is this lithograph, which is a rare item and should be kept track of?
There are lots of stories of diaries or letters being found in someone's dusty garret that belonged to someone famous, writings that change our understanding of history. In 1997, a workman crawled into a dirty attic in Washington, D.C., and discovered signage that indicated one of the apartments in the building had been used by Clara Barton — before she became famous as founder of the American Red Cross — in her efforts to locate missing Civil War soldiers. With the door sign were letters from and to the Missing Soldiers Office and heaps of Civil War photos. How does something like that lose itself? How can an event or an item that is so uncommon or so inherently interesting drop off the radar of the collective memory of a society or a community or a family? Does someone forget to say before they die, "Oh, by the way, kids, I'm getting old, and I think you should know that there's a handwritten libretto penned by Puccini in the basement in that chest next to my old toboggan"?
Or is it that the young are not listening or not interested? Do those who know assume that everyone else knows, too? Or is it sometimes a case of unharvested data resources? Are descriptions of personal encounters with the shipwreck at Wilapa Bay languishing on microfilm in some local library whose repository of newspapers has not been queried since the age of the Internet dawned?
How do we collectively forget? All of us? The failure of an entire community to remember a shipwreck, or what's left in an attic or broom closet in a public building, or a piece of family lore, is alarming to me, but also mysterious. At some point in time, there is one person left who knows something no one else knows, but they may not know that they are the only one who knows this.
To me, all of this suggests that we are moving too quickly, that we are losing even what little grip on our tumbling through time that we may ever have had. We seldom make things that will last into a time after our own, and of things that we encounter that were made in a time before ours and have endured into our own we can often say very little. The fact that some physical works have outlasted our collective memory about their creators does credit to those forgotten artisans, but it does not flatter us as rememberers.
The only bright side I can see in this is that the failure of collective memory provides opportunities for the thrill of discovery. Someone opens a trunk in the attic, or someone opens a long-locked closet in a courthouse, or goes upstairs in an old hotel. Or a storm uncovers lost secrets on a sandy beach.
Mim overshot the weedy little driveway of the old graveyard just oustide of Uniontown on Trevanion Road, but backed up and turned around with more dust and dirt flying. We surely woke the dead arriving. I ran up and down the rows, checking out the graves under the boughs of trees first because that's where the dark was taking hold. Nothing. I called to Mim, who was bent over perusing stones in another corner. She was having no luck. We reconvened at the center of the graveyard, about to give up.
The light was dim and blue, and the shapes of crosses and obelisks were receding into night. I remember standing with my back to a group of stones that I had quickly glanced at before, but I had a funny feeling about them. I turned around and peered, and saw ever so faintly the name Catherine, and some dates. The stone was the tallest of several in a row, and aside from her first name the inscription was worn to mere shadows of indentation. I bent low in front of the low rounded stone to its left, my eyes straining. I reached my fingers in front of my eyes to trace in the bone-white marker what I could barely see, could sense more than actually see: the name Benjamin, and my last name after it.
"It's here," I said.
An instant later the day was all gone.
Later that year my father visited and stood next to the stones of his great grandparents, and someone (I think Mim) took his picture. Even with my family's strong collective memory, we almost lost another two names to the non-place of forgotten ancestry.

240v install in North Jersey
240v install in North Jersey
I priced the installation of 240V/Amp circuit in my garage:
1. My main breaker is 200A. However, I do not have any empty slots, so I am going to get 2 twin breakers at $20/e. It will create 2 empty slots where a 100A breaker costing $50 will be installed. They are Siemens so they are a little expensive. Total breaker cost=90
2. I am going to need Number 2 wire cable with 3 or 4 wires. HPWC needs 2 hot and one ground. Cost is about $7/ft. It is one heavy gauge wire. In my case, I am going to need 35 ft. Cost of wire= $245.
3. The part of the wire that is exposed will need some conduit. Cost about $25.
Total material cost = $360.
4. Labor cost - The guy I use charges $35/hour. and I figure 2 hours of labor=$70. Your cost may be higher with unions, etc.
So my installation cost is going to be around $450 + HPWC. In reality, I do not need the 240V/100A HPWC that costs $1,200. I could do with a 240V/50A circuit and a simple washer/drier connection. I figure it will be 2/3 of the cost at $300 approximately. Instead of $350+1,200. In most cases I would charge at 30-40Amp to protect the battery.
I do prefer the dual chargers in the car. They help when charging at RV sites, with 50+Amp feed.
I thought the RV sites delivered 40A continuous. Which 1 charger can handle.

The 2013 IKA European Kiteracing Championships kicked off today at Hang Loose Beach in Gizzeria, Italy. More than 90 riders from all over the world are in attendance of this event, in total there are 26 nations and 4 continents represented, apart from the European countries as far as from New Zealand and Santa Lucia.
The 74 competitors in the men's fleet were split into two flights and kicked off the opening day with 4 races. The weather was around 12 knots in the morning and as the day went on, increased to 18 knots offering some great conditions for racing.
With the fleets clearly going for the starboard side of the starting line it was two fast windward-leeward legs before the short reach to the finish line. A great performance from many riders saw fast paced and close racing at the top places, with a surprise outcome for Russia's new entry, Doronin who scored two bullets, a third and a second, to lead the day with the Italian Leccese following with just one point behind. France's Dansin also delivered a steady performance with three second places and holds an overall leaderboard position of third. It was all about the start today, and taking the advantage off the line. The stable breeze eliminated the luck factor, ensuring the best riders were shining at the front.
In the women's fleet it was the young Russian Kalinina who dominated the 18 riders, leaving the much more experienced Bridge from Great Britain in second place and battling it out with Holland's Roose. Kalinina made her appearance at the Kite Africans in March and her skills defy her young age of only 15 years old. She made a big impression in Egypt and clearly demonstrated her potential to have a great future in the sport. Bridge on the other hand has many years of kite racing experience and shares her passion with her son, who is also racing here and scored a bullet in the first race of the men's fleet today.
Tomorrow the men's fleet continues with the qualification races before they split up into Gold and Silver on Friday. The women race as one fleet until the medal series on Sunday.
Top 5 after Day 1:
Mens Fleet:
1. Riccardo Leccesse (ITA, Ozone/Mikes Lab) - 4 pts
2. Ivan Doronin (RUS, Ozone) - 6 pts
3. Blazej Ozog (POL, North) - 6.3 pts
4. Wilson Veloso (BRA) - 7 pts
5. Oliver Bridge (GBR, North) - 8 pts
Womens Fleet:
1. Elena Kalinina (RUS, Elf/Temavento) - 3 pts
2. Katja Roose (NED, Airush) - 6 pts
3. Steph Bridge (GBR, North) - 7 pts
4. Christine Boenniger (GER, Flysurfer) - 13 pts
5. Agnieszka Grzymska (POL, Ozone) - 13 pts

Rithy Panh Looks for 'The Missing Picture'
Rithy Panh was 13 when the Khmer Rouge took control of Cambodia in 1975. His family was forced from their home and his parents perished — along with an estimated 1.7 million others during the regime's rule. Mr. Panh settled in a refugee camp in Thailand in 1979 before making his way to France. That's all a long way from Hollywood, where he will be on March 2 for the Oscars ceremony. His film "The Missing Picture" is nominated for best foreign-language film.

Over time, great individuals can attain such a level of public adoration that any sort of criticism leveled against them is treated as sacrilege, whether they be Abe Lincoln, Mother Teresa, or a Beatle not named Ringo. Naturally, that inspires a certain kind of person to take dead aim at such sacred cows, not necessarily because he wants to tear these people down—although that can be part of the appeal—but because he wants to offer a counterbalance to the endless canonization. It's important to have heroes, but if we can't see them as flesh-and-blood individuals—as human and flawed as the rest of us—how can we fully appreciate their greatness?
I assume that's the animating philosophy behind Hitchcock, the new film that offers a whimsical look at the master director and the creation of one of his greatest films, Psycho. On its surface, this comedy-drama would seem to be a timely corrective to the universal adulation for Alfred Hitchcock, whose Vertigo was recently selected as the greatest film of all time in the once-a-decade Sight & Sound critics poll. Even one of the world's greatest filmmakers had his share of foibles and failings, dark little corners of personality from which emerged some wonderful art, though not without a human cost. That would make for a pretty good movie—too bad Hitchcock isn't it.
Fundamentally, Hitchcock's problem is the same one that afflicts other biopics that try to show a "different side" of a famous figure. The really wrongheaded ones—like Wired (about John Belushi) or the supremely dopey The Late Shift (about the battle over The Tonight Show waged between Jay Leno and David Letterman)—either take a preposterous pop-psychology approach to understanding the genius in question or they infantilize their subjects in a way that reduces them to their most obvious trademarks. (Jay sure has a big chin! Dave sure is cranky!) Unfortunately, Hitchcock manages to do both, lamely taking a stab at what made Hitch tick while treating the making of a major film in a goofy way. You'd think these people had never been on the set of a movie before.
Hitchcock is based on Stephen Rebello's book Alfred Hitchcock and the Making of Psycho, and while there've already been some complaints about the film's looseness with the historical record, that's hardly its biggest problem. What's irksome is the movie's almost indifferent attitude to its own story.
As told by director Sacha Gervasi, Hitchcock (played by Anthony Hopkins) is at the height of his powers having just released North by Northwest, but now that he's pushing 60, there are whispers that maybe his best years are behind him. (In a sign of the movie's lack of imagination, this information is conveyed by having a reporter basically ask Hitchcock, "Hey, you're really great, but are you worried that you're getting old?" Rather than telling the kid to shut the hell up and stop talking in on-the-nose exposition, Hitchcock seems deeply wounded by the question.) So with the relucatant encouragement of his wife Alma (Helen Mirren), he decides to risk his financial future to make Psycho, a horror movie that nobody around him thinks is a good idea. But, you see, Hitchcock has to make this film; we know this because he has constant visions of Ed Gein (Michael Wincott), the Wisconsin serial killer whose antics were fictionalized in the book Psycho that Hitch adapted into his film.
The conversations between Gein and Hitch are meant to suggest an obsessive darkness within the director that fueled his passion to make Psycho. There are many ways to externalize people's inner desires, but Hitchcock takes an altogether silly approach, flattening and smoothing the complexities of an artist's drive until all there is left to say is, "Wow, dude was weird." But this tends to be how the film views every aspect of Hitchcock's makeup. Perhaps you've heard that he was obsessed with his blonde leading ladies? Well, here's a scene of him looking obsessively at a random blonde woman. Perhaps you're aware that Hitchcock came across in interviews as a droll, deadpan figure? Well, the Hitchcock of Hitchcock is a droll and deadpan figure. (Hopkins's performance has its moments, but ultimately it's a collection of a few repeated quirks in place of an actual, rounded personality.) Rather than stripping his character bare so that we might see him with fresh eyes, Gervasi more or less posits that you don't need to know much about Hitchcock—it's all there on the surface.
Everybody else in the movie is treated the same way. Janet Leigh (Scarlett Johansson) looks and sounds like Janet Leigh, and that's about it. James D'Arcy nails Anthony Perkins's quiet, squirmy unease—according to this movie, he basically played himself when he was Norman Bates—and so on and so forth. The only character who's allowed multi-dimensions is Alma, whom the movie argues was instrumental in helping Hitchcock realize his artistic aspirations. It's a nice notion and a gentle riposte in more ways than one to Hollywood's often extreme Great Man view of itself, but you're not going to learn much from Hitchcock about how Alma helped him. She was just, you know, around, and she was good at helping recut Psycho because, well, a montage tells us that.
That laziness is Hitchcock's undoing. For a movie that's supposed to be about Hitch's obsession with making a film, this is a remarkably slack, incurious story. It's a movie about great moviemaking that doesn't seem at all interested in how great movies get made.

A local town known for its mushrooms will be ringing in the New Year with a giant replica of the famous fungus.
The 700-pound, stainless steel toadstool will be lowered from a crane Dec. 31 as residents of Kennett Square, Chester County, Pa. count down to the New Year.
The Philadelphia Inquirer reports the sculpture will be more than 7 feet wide and 8 feet tall.
Breaking news and the stories that matter to your neighborhood.
Kennett Square calls itself the mushroom capital of the world because area farms account for about half of U.S. mushroom production.
The mushroom joins a slew of quirky New Year's Eve traditions in Pennsylvania.
In Bethlehem, residents celebrate Jan. 1 by lowering an 85-pound statue of a Marshmallow Peep, since the treats are made locally.
In Easton, officials drop a 10-foot-tall lighted crayon because the city is home to Crayola Inc.

As part of routine maintenance, it's important to check and replace your riding lawn mowers' engine oil and oil filter. Performing this maintenance as scheduled in your owner's manual will ensure your machines' engine performs as designed and will extend its service life. Always change the oil after the first 5 hours of use. This is known as the engine break-in period. Follow the instructions below to inspect and replace the engine oil and oil filter.
Before you change the oil in your riding lawn mower, reference your operator's manual regarding the type and amount of oil you need. SAE 30 the most common, and is is typically used in warmer climates. SAE 10W-30 is best for varying temperature ranges and is best for starting in cold climates. The trade off here is the potential for higher oil consumption. Synthetic oil is also an option for your riding lawn mower. SAE 5W-30 is a great all-around alternative to conventional oil. As always, consult your owner's manual before adding oil to your equipment. Using the wrong type and/or weight of oil can cause premature engine wear and even failure. If your engine has an oil filter, also check the operator's manual regarding the correct replacement.
Note that if your riding mower is damaged from hitting an object in your yard or has complicated engine trouble, it is best to take it to a local MTD certified service dealer for repairs.
Park your Riding Lawn Mower on a flat, level surface. Turn it off, remove the key, and lock the parking brake. Once the engine has cooled, open the hood and disconnect the spark plug wire.
Clean the area around the oil fill tube, oil drain, and oil filter. This will remove dirt and other debris that could get into the engine while you're changing the oil and oil filter.
Remove the engine oil dipstick from the oil fill tube and wipe it clean with a cloth. This will allow the oil to drain.
Place a container with a capacity of no less than 64 ounces under the oil-drain sleeve or position it to catch the oil from the Siphon Pump. Remove the drain plug, and drain the oil into the container. When the oil has completely drained, wipe the area around the oil drain and replace the drain plug. Remove the drain sleeve or Arnold Siphon Pump.
If the unit is equipped with an oil filter, remove and dispose of it properly. Wipe the area around the oil filter housing with a clean cloth. To provide the proper seal, lightly coat the new oil filter's gasket with fresh engine oil before installing it. Install the oil filter by hand until the gasket touches the oil filter adapter. Then, tighten the filter using an oil filter wrench. Reference your operator's manual for further instructions on tightening the filter properly.
Fill the engine with oil - make sure you use the exact type and amount specified in your operator's manual. Do not overfill, as this can cause excessive smoking, as well as harm to the engine.
After adding oil to the engine, wait one to two minutes, and then check to ensure oil is not leaking from around the oil filter and drain plug.
Replace and tighten the dipstick. Then, remove the dipstick and check the oil level. It should be at the top of the "full" indicator on the dipstick. If required, add oil and re-check. If full, wipe the dipstick clean with a cloth, replace the dipstick, and tighten.
Re-connect the Spark Plugs wire to the spark plug.
When you need parts for your riding lawn mower, you can use the MTD Genuine Parts Part Finder to find the correct one. Common parts include:
The MTD Genuine Parts Knowledge Center provides do-it-yourself instructions for performing many basic maintenance items, including replacing cutting blades, drive and deck belts, and engine oil. If you find your machine has a bigger problem, use our service locator to find a qualified MTD service provider in your area.

Last week I had the opportunity to attend not one, but two Operations related Career Conference events and they were awesome! First, there was the Annual "Links Symposium" sponsored by the Operations and Logistics Management Association, and I volunteered to help organize this event, being a member of OLMA myself.
The half – day event was hosted at The Blackwell Inn, Fisher's own hotel and Executive Conference Center. This year's topic was Lean Management, and there were two discussion panels, one for Lean Management in Manufacturing and the other Lean Management in Services. For all the Ops and Supply Chain Majors out there, this was a fantastic opportunity to interact and network
with the panelists, who were a mix of academic faculty and industry experts from companies such as Greif, Huntington, Cardinal Health etc. To top it all, we had a great moderator – Georgia Keresty, a lean expert with more than 30 + years of experience.
The very next morning I attended an Operations Career Change Round table event hosted by the Working Professional MBA Program. Fisher's apt selection of the panelists should not go unmentioned. The 4 WP panelists were each from different areas of Operations – the distribution side, Supply chain side, the IT side and the customer side. It led to a very interesting Q and A session where they shared valuable stories from their work experiences and advice on how we could better ourselves to become ideal hiring candidates for Operations Management roles in top companies.
The biggest perk in attending these kinds of events is that you get to meet such vibrant personalities who are willing to help you in your career any way they can . Drawing from their experiences is a big plus, and ultimately helps you in connecting with more people in the field of your interest. Kudos to Fisher faculty and the COE , for their amazing contributions year after year and a special thanks to Fisher alumni who are so eager to give back to the business community – you are invaluable resources to the current students and one of Fisher's greatest assets.
And these networking events are right at your doorstep. My advice is to never let these chances slip, because these are golden opportunities that can lead to lifelong career connections. Boy, am I glad I came to Business school 🙂

I think she has too much time on her hands, but I was kind of waiting for some comment like that to be made. :'D
she ( yes I mean Obama) is part of the anti christ system but she is not the anti christ, because the anti christ will be a male - she can't be one of the ten kings over the regions, because it is a "she"
however because she exudes the tell the biggest lie and the most people will believe it addage ( Hitler said the bigger the lie, the more moore's will believe it) and History hs proven that time and again
she is just the culmination of the distablization of our countries power , so that we must become one of the "ten regions" that the bible talks about a region made up of Canada Central America and the United States - which probably will occur by 2012 - as well as the death of the Cartman cult - so the Hopi Indians did have a prediction - but it is not the end of the world
it is the end of the last great Anglo Empire - however when those 10 regions ( the Euro currency has created the first region
the currency called the Amero will create our region, noted above - and the destabilization of our economy will require the regionalization of an Amero to compete in the global marketplace
then the 10 leaders of these places will give their power over to one beloved attractive popular man, who will be so christ like that most christians will hail him as so very christ like - he will be the antichrist
so he'll be attractive, pure, magnanimous the best speaker you have ever heard, all his ideas will be correct and work but only for three and a half years - it will be a time of unprecendeted peace we will all have peace of mind and prosperity, and we will all think we contributed to this great peace and prosperity and safety and then sudden destruction
tell this information to your friend because Obama was not popular with over half of the population
Anti Christ will be popular with every living soul on the earth

Now the part where all the supporters were either trying to kill themselves or getting themselves blind stinking drunk was pretty funny. Randy is always good to depend on for a laugh. I think, the more I watch the show, that Trey and Matt are relying on Randy for their true ridiculous comic relief. Randy is a radical, fighting, drinking, complete and total imbecile. Love him.
Also love Ike's part in the heist. Great.

South Park is nothing short of brilliant. The show is one stone in a collier that is the hope diamond. The creative free thinkers, artists of the USA give us hope that there is still a lot of good energy left in a nation that once was an example of civilization.
"About last night" is a very funny look at the hysteria of US presidential elections, which seem hilarious from this side of the atlantic ocean. It really does not matter if Mc Cain or Obama has won. Both belong to a political class that has ruled the US from its very beginning. Obama has still got to prove that he is really any different and not a loyal member of the club which steals the hope diamond.
The world needs the USA, but the UN seat of the US embassador was empty at the last meeting. It was the 60th birthday of human rights. It does not look good at all. It took only two well placed bombs and Washington has gone medieval. Death penalty, torture, G-Bay...
South Park makes me laugh and gives me hope that it may be possible that the most dynamic nation of our wonderful world becomes a true bringer of democracy eventually.
But...according to Nostradamus' prophecies we live in times of great change. A peacelord will come who turns out to be the antichrist. His mission is to wipe out anything we know. Some argue this man is Osama Bin Laden.
I seriously doubt that: Bin Laden has always been a warlord and he does not have the necessary destructive arsenal at his disposal.
Well, I do not really believe in astrology, but some things fit together from a certain point of view.
It is exciting, hysterical and hilarious. Just like South Park. Ride on people. Thank you very much.

In an Ocean movie, one is immediately sucked into the plot, drawn through a number of dramatic and comedic devices designed to propel the viewer towards a conclusion which brings all the parts together. There is a lot of anticipation felt for those heists.
In this episode, the election is presented as little different. Randy has invested so much of his identity, foolishly, into Obama, but in the end is left with little more than the feeling of seeing a cheesy Ocean's ending. The McCain supporters believed the fate of the world was at stake, only to be let out of the theater to find the world miraculously still there.
A post below, which suggested that this episode could have worked without the "heist", i.e Ocean's parody, is surely mistaken. Randy's story relates to the Ocean's parody, plus, it would take out more than half of the episode.
What is the lesson here? Don't read politics like you read an ocean's movie. Be a better viewer than that.

Blue, White and Red Yuan Dynasty one of pair with Applied Flowers and Leaves Jar (WORLD CLASS)
Blue, White and Red Yuan Dynasty one of pair with Applied Flowers and Leaves Jar (WORLD CLASS)
They withhold the finest pieces from the open market. and no
one knows how to evaluate their pieces because what you see in the auction results are mostly junk pieces not what is truly available in the market place.
They have lied so much about the true capabilities of the Chinese artisans in every period. And they only want to do business with the victims that have put their trust in them and they're robbing them blind. You must study and know what you are looking at and stop listening to these liars that are telling you all these cock & bull stories about Chinese art. There is a lot of good people that are caught up in their unwritten policies that they have in place and are to afraid to speak up. You must search out the finest pieces, just do the math during the Song Dynasty the population was 100,000,000 in China if just a half of one percent could afford the finest pieces that's a lot of Jade and porcelain made in the Song dynasty. this is why it is imperative that you collect the best possible pieces. You must demand they stop their corrupt policies and start offering the finest pieces on the open market so you will know where your collection fits in the real market place. They must open the market to everyone and stop the discrimination because the way they set this up you can't win because only they know what is really in the market place.
The Ru ware that the National Palace Museum has in there collection are pieces that the Qianlong Emperor wrote poems on and these wares are not the Tribute or Imperial Ru ware that the Song Dynasty Emperor Huizong was receiving from the Ru Kiln. The Ru wares that are in Museums around the world are merchant class wares, not Imperial Tribute or Official Imperial wares. I have also offered donations by email to the British Museum, Philadelphia art Museum, The Cleveland Museum, The Smithsonian Sackler Freer Museum, Metropolitain Museum, etc. and they all didn't answer my email. This is part of the cover-up of Sotheby's sale of the Ru brush washer in Hong Kong April 2012 for $27,000,000. I can prove it is not an Imperial piece and they should return the money and acknowledge what I have shown them all about Ru Wares. Right now their all trying to cover-up the truth about Ru wares. Because the bigger truth is that they're ripping off collectors for billions of dollars by not offering the finest pieces at their auctions and private sales. Major Museums and Universities are the puppets of the auction houses they'll not tell the truth they do whatever the auctions house want them to do. As one example even to the point of withholding the historic truth of the Song Dynasties Emperor Huizong and the Ru Kiln. They have no integrity and sit by and watch collectors being swindled out of their money and do nothing to stop this theft of billions of dollars from unsupecting collectors around the world. And these phony curators worry about their positions being lost. What you see being sold at auction is only a fraction of what is being sold and most of the pieces are junk. One way to stop them is stop buying the junk their offering you.

|Downtown Nashville, summer 2012
My favorite collection that I visited on this cross-country trip was the Center for Popular Music at Middle Tennessee State University in Murfreesboro, TN. Seldom has research been more fun. I perused dozens and dozens of books on rock history, gospel, and pop music. (It was hard not to fall down an rabbit hole.) I listened to a rare, 1956 acetate interview with Elvis Presley from a Texas radio station. Girls screamed in the background as a flustered Elvis answered with his typical "yessir." I thumbed through anti-rock diatribes from the Carter years. Through it all I got a better handle on my topic.
The Center holds acres of records, tapes, magazines, books, manuscripts, and much more. (Search there extensive collection here.) And the staff at this place, the gem in its crown, could not have been more helpful. With their aid I found enough research material to keep me working away for months.
In the Know Your Archives interview embedded above, I speak with Dale Cockrell, Director, and Martin Fisher, Curator of Recorded Media Collections. They describe the materials the Center collects, the kinds of research being done there, and pretty much explain why anyone doing anything on music history should make the trip to MTSU.

Holy Week and Easter Day 2014
The Parish Of All Saints
The liturgical ceremony of this week is the Church's way of engaging with our Lord in the last week of his life. The actions that we see and take part in are pictures re-presenting the truth of the faith in a vivid, dramatic way. Not only do we see them in front of us, but we take part in them. And it is by taking part in these holy actions that we learn from them. All the time we are taking part in Liturgy ("the work of the people") we are learning about God and about what God is actually doing in us at the very time we are offering the Liturgy.
At the same time we are given insights into how, through baptism, we are called to live out the Liturgy in the 'liturgy' that is our daily life where God and the reality of his kingdom comes into the 'nitty-gritty' of our world. We will be reminded of past events in our Lord's life; be shown what God is doing in the present, in there her and now in us; and be offered a foretaste of what is the future in heaven

The DWB Intercollegiate Network was founded, in January 2003, by groups and centers affiliated with universities throughout the Americas and around the globe. Its general purpose is to create a support structure for all new and previously established university groups, and to make Diamond Way Buddhism accessible to university and high school students and professors.
This site offers centralized access to all major Diamond Way websites and online teachings, as well as personalized access for university group organizers. We also provide a means for students and professors to invite Buddhist teachers to speak in their classes as guest lecturers.
We are part of a worldwide network of over 600 Diamond Way Buddhist Meditation Centers in the Karma Kagyu tradition of Tibetan Buddhism. Lama Ole Nydahl and his wife Hannah, the first Western students of H.H. 16th Karmapa Rangjung Rigpe Dorje, founded and direct these centers under the spiritual guidance of H.H. 17th Karmapa Trinley Thaye Dorje.
Our ultimate aim is to form a chain of well-functioning Diamond Way Buddhist groups based on friendship and idealism, which will be capable of hosting Karma Kagyu teachers such as H.H. 17th Karmapa Trinley Thaye Dorje, Shamar Rinpoche, Lama Ole Nydahl, and their senior students. In time we will translate the site into many languages so that our friends throughout Europe, Russia, and Latin America will be able to use it as well. It is our deep wish that this site will be a useful tool for the centers that are already established and benefit all of our new friends.

Three-fourths of the universe's matter and energy is thought to be dark energy, the mysterious thing that is causing universal expansion to accelerate. A new way of mapping huge cosmic structures might finally shed some light on this dark energy.
The universe's accelerating expansion was first discovered in 1998, and astrophysicists have spent the last twelve years trying to figure out what could possibly be causing it. We don't know what dark energy is, but we do know that, for it to have the observed effect on cosmic expansion, it would have to account for three times the amount of matter and energy we've actually been able to observe.
At this point, there are a few competing explanations for what dark energy could be, and even better there's a way to experimentally test which is most accurate. We can test the various theories by precisely mapping the distribution of galaxies and groups of galaxies throughout the universe, and then figure out how this distribution has changed. The nature of the change will hopefully line up with what one of the theories predicts should happen, lending that theory strong experimental support.
In order to figure out how galaxies were distributed billions of years ago, we can focus in on sound waves found in the matter-energy soup of the most ancient universe. These sound waves are thought to leave imprints of galactic distribution patterns, and it's possible to measure these imprints by detecting radio emissions from hydrogen gas.
This technique is known as intensity mapping, and the goal of this new project is to try it on far vaster scales than ever before, as astronomer Tzu-Ching Chang explains:
Our project mapped hydrogen gas to greater cosmic distances than ever before, and shows that the techniques we developed can be used to map huge volumes of the Universe in three dimensions and to test the competing theories of dark energy."
The current study looks at parts of the sky that have already been mapped in extreme detail, and then recorded the total amount of hydrogen gas coming from large groups of galaxies within that region. They are currently gathering radio emissions from thousands of galaxies at a time, detecting more hydrogen gas than all that had ever been detected previously. Now the challenge is putting this massive amount of new data to good use in figuring out the nature of dark energy.

Cathy, you are quite welcome...I really liked everything in your album...Carol
Thank you for the nice comments on my album pictures!
Hi Carol. I noticed you are from Pittsburg. My son and grand kids live in Oakdale, PA. Are there quilt stores near Oakdale that you recommend. Next visit to him, I think I'd like to do my own little shop hop.
I have scrutinized your status and posts in get-together all of are unmitigated tempting and excellent posts i savor you and ofcors your run with this social occasion thankful concerning aiding us in social event.
Thanks for loving my I.Heart.You quilt.
Thanks! I like my pumpkin potholders, too. I have an apron that is a goldish colored tea towel and it has the same fabric for the pocket across the front. They're great for the fall season.
Thanks for your prompt reply. Now I remember it was not a chapel, but a visitor's center called Behalt. They even spoke a funny, old German there. I also love that area very much, as it reminds me of Luxembourg with all the woods, lakes and hills. We were there some time in automn and it was fantastic.
Congratulations for your 49th anniversary. You really hit the jackpot there. I have a question, you said you drove to Berlin. Is that the Berlin where the Amish people live? I've been to that Berlin some years ago and I liked it a lot. Remember some sort of chapel on top of a hill. In those days I didn't quilt, so I might not have seen the fabric store.
Hi, thanks for the comments on the Texas wall hanging.. No pattern, I just googled the state of Texas to get the center design. And my friend's wife buys and sells horses so I added the horse shoes. Daniel (my DH) suggested the state outline in the white so I put a red and blue star on either side. Don't be afraid to use your imagination you will come up with some great creations. ....hmmm.. I think I will add that last line to my signature!
1 Thanks
sewbizzy thanked for this post
Thanks for commenting on my hearts wallhanging! It is paper-pieced and the pattern came with the book - my first exploration into paper-piecing. My mom laid claim to it and took it back to Alaska with her. LOL. The binding coulg have been better, though.
Anyway, thanks bunches!
