I got a half day free, and could start on my new project, Calico Paradise, from Collector with a Needle, Dawn.
My preferred method of applique is needle-turn, backing basting. the centre of the quilt is done in one piece and when I tried to trace onto the wrong side of the fabric, it was just plain hard work. You can see from the photo above the detail of the design on the pattern. It is complex, and a really high class pattern.
So, what I decided to do was to trace half the centre onto freezer paper, then iron it onto the back of the background fabric and then draw around it. Remove, then draw the other half. Great plan? Well I stuffed it! I decided it was easier just to trace 1/4 of the design, fold the paper in half and then cut out the two layers. I expect the original maker would have done 4 folds and cut out this way.
Well, the freezer paper kept slipping, so I ironed them together - dah! and then of course I could not seperate them. So, I ended up with quite a stiff piece of paper, with a 1/4 of the design.
I then had the pin it to the back of the background fabric, draw around it and move it 3 times to do the whole centre. BTW - this centre is about 30" so it is really quite hard to handle.
At the same time I got the centre circle drawn on freezer paper, so at least I know where that is, and marked that, plus the 4 leaves within the centre.
The next part took me 2 evenings to day. I had to back-bast the madder print fabric onto the right side of the background. This is done with a large-ish needle - I use a 8 straw needle, and a quilting thread that contrast with with top fabric. In this case I used aGutemann mustard colour.
Once it is all basted, you can then give it a press, and trim about 1/4" around the tacking line. I just remove the main part of the outside fabric, and leave the little cut out pieces until I get to them. You can see (just) on this photo the tacking lines, and then I draw over the stitches with a Clover wash out white pen. This makes it easier to spot the tacking stitches if the fabric is a bit busy, or I am getting tired :-)
The Clover pen comes off easily with the iron. I use it all the time on dark fabrics. When you draw with it, it does not show up straight away, but appears slowly. People using the pen for the first time, think it is not working, but just wait a bit and the lines appear
So, this is what I have now. Not really a kind of "carry along" project is it? But at least it is all tacked in place, I do not have to worry about getting stabbed with pins during the applique process, and it will not move about. I know the back-basting takes time to start, but the process gives a great result, and is ideal for large pieces of work like this one.
In case you think I have run out of things to do, you are wrong! I am still trying to get my "Past Reflections" completed for the Adelaide Quilt show in November, and I have just about finished all the background quilting.
I have also quilted about all the shapes, and just need to go back and do some extra quilting within some of the motifs. I am pretty much on track with this, and find a deadline pretty motivational.

A Fine Romance
I am in Homespun magazine this month! My first for this magazine, and I hope not the last. It is a very pretty craft magazine, with lots of different types of projects - quilting, embroidery, bags, dolls etc.
Have a look for it in the magazine racks at the newsagents. It is out now.
I talked about making the quilt here, back in November. It is all scrappy, as usual, including the background, all the pinks and greens as well. The borders were fabrics I had in my stash, and were just perfect for the project without even trying.

15 days of Spring
Spring is only 15 days old, but I am feeling the benefits already. I do not do very well in Winter. I tend to get down in the dumps, but the sun-shiney days make me feel better. Today I took some photos of my garden.
I know that Jasmine causes lots of people to suffer from Hay fever. Me - I don't care! As soon as I see the little pink buds I know spring is on the way.
The sweet peas started to flower the first week on August. They are a little slow this year, but there are lots of buds to open
Grand-daughter Skylar, who is now a big girl of 6, can hardly hide in the garden now.
The rest are all wrapped up in the trees. Give them a week, and they will be all over the place.
Skylar has a new "tree house" in the back garden. It is not really a tree house, more like a fort, but it is high enough for her the touch the Bougainvillea, and the trees over head.

Georgetown Circle
Pieces of the Past - Georgetown Circle |
This block is Georgetown Circle. As you can see, I made it with lots of different fabrics. I started with the centre fabric, and worked out from there. When I was teaching this class, some of the girls did it in just two colours, like blue and white. Others did it with the background fabric as some of the spokes of the wheel, so that it looks like an open cart type wheel. Lots of opportunities to play with fabrics and colours.
The block is now on the Legend and Lace website as a digital pattern. All 3 patterns will stay there until all 9 blocks are completed.
Tomorrow I am off to my sewing group, Stitching Matters. I hardly ever get to go these days, as much as I would love to. Fridays are just turning into bad days for me, but I really need some R&R and I hope that will be tomorrow. I am working on the hand quilting of my sampler quilt Past Reflections. This is the quilt that started out as blocks from the Circuit Rider's quilt and I added another 20 or so other blocks. I have entered it into the South Australian Quilters guild exhibition in November, so really have to get it done. A whole day of quilting would make a bit hole in it. You can see a picture of it here before I started the quilting.

Baskets are ready to go
Within the next week or so I will be sending out the first month's pack for the new BOM - Baskets for You. I have made 10 blocks for myself so far. Lots of different red fabrics and shirtings. This is the perfect project for me as I have a great collection of reds, and those of you who join in the programme, will get some from the "private collection" as I like to call it. You can choose to have lots of different coloured basket fabrics if you like. Some people prefer the scrappy look. Just let me know when you join in what your preference is.
Each month, for 12 months, you will get background and applique fabrics enough to make 12 blocks a month. In the 6th month you will receive fabrics for the centre appliqued floral basket.
Also included, are the Sue Daley Pattern, sandpaper board, glue and needles, plus thread and Sewline trio marker. These will be sent with the first month's fabric pack.
The cost is $25 per month, plus postage. Go to the Legend and Lace website to join in, or you can email me for further information.

Cabbage Rose Wreath
Cabbage Rose Wreath |
If you are planning on collecting this set of blocks, it is now up and running on the Legend and Lace website. All the blocks will stay there for the duration, so if you miss one, you can always go back and catch up. Remember, the first one is free, with a small charge of $2.50 for each of the others.
You get full size drawings, plus detailed instructions on how to complete the block. When you are printing out the blocks be sure to set your printer so that it does not scale the drawings. It should fit the page exactly. The blocks are 8" finished, but you can print them off, and increase the size if you want to make larger blocks.
I have another plan brewing, and that is to create "complimentary" pieced blocks to go with the appliqued ones. I think that might have to wait for another day.
Any questions? Please email me

Don't you just love starting something new?
I have not actually started yet, but I have started choosing my fabrics, and I am busting to get started. Have had a few things get in the way of progress. One being I had to wait for the pattern to arrive, then I had to find the "right yellow" and then I had to teach two classes, and then two family birthdays, and tomorrow is Father's Day. I think I might get some free time in the afternoon.....fingers crossed.
This is my first collection of fabrics for the project. Not really sure about the stripe on the RHS |
I saw the quilt on Dawn's blog, Collector with a Needle. Dawn and her daughter Nora, have created the pattern from an original antique quilt. The colours and designs are simply spectacular!
I took a photo of the pattern envelope, but it does not do it justice. The design and colours have really spoken to me, and I just "had to have" that pattern! I scraped through my red boxes of fabrics, but Dawn told me there really is very little red in the original, mainly madder. Well, dumb I might be, but I still think of madder as red. What really tipped me over the edge though, was the bit of pink and blue. That, to me, is just delightful.
Can you please find another 2 or 3 hours in the day for me? I just entered 2 of my unfinished quilts into the Adelaide quilt show, and they have to be done by the end of October. Looks like I will be back to rotating things for a while. This way I get to work on the things I want to do as well as those I need to do. At least I have no class samples or magazine work due for a while. Means I can play with Calico Paradise..

Hello this is your tropical briefing for July 08, 2013:
This is the GOES-East Water Vapor image of the tropical Atlantic. I have highlighted two areas. One area is an upper-level low which is retrograding back to the west moving towards the Florida Keys. This upper-level low will produce some heavier rains over Florida through the next 2-3 days.The other area east of the Lesser Antilles Islands is our Tropical Storm Chantal.
Tropical Storm Chantal as of the 8:00am advisory was located at 10.6N 50.6W moving to the west at 26mph. Its minimum central pressure was 1007mb and winds were at 40mph.The 12Z 850-700hpa CIMSS Steering product below shows that Chantal is located in a belt of very strong trade winds. This is the reason why TS Chantal is racing off to the west at a fairly high clip. Chantal will be reaching the Lesser Antilles by tomorrow morning. These strong trade winds to the north may be helping to keep the dry air to the north of the system and limiting dry air intrusion into the storm. This is why I feel the convection has been able to readily persist without interference from dry air.
Here are the tropical models regarding strength. Most models show some modest strengthening as this system approaches the Caribbean through the next 24-48 hours. The environment will be marginally conducive for further strengthening at this time. Most models peak this storm with moderate/upper Tropical Storm intensity before a non-conducive environment and land-interaction start to impact the storm after 48 hours.
Here is the 200mb-850mb wind shear product on the 06Z GFS model at 48 hours. The low pressure approaching Hispaniola is Chantal. You can see a branch of the sub-tropical jet stream starting to create some westerly shear on the system. This may begin to interfere with the storm as it approaches the Greater Antilles. This is why most of the intensity models drop off significantly at this time-frame.
After its passage through the Caribbean, what is left of Chantal should move to the west-northwest to northwest into the Bahamas. 06Z GFS 700mb geo-potential heights distinctly show the weakness in the ridge over the Eastern parts of the United States. This weakness should help to pull this system northward very near the eastern seaboard through days 4 and 5.
The Spaghetti models shown below seem to agree on this solution. A slight bend back to the west-northwest could be possible in the long-term, as the ridge attempts to nose back in,taking this system into the east coast.
This is the official National Hurricane Center track. By the time this system is in the Bahamas the National Hurricane Center is showing a very weak system. The strength of this system at this time-frame is very tough to predict. Land-interaction with the Greater Antilles always seems to yield a tough intensity forecast. How strong it is at this point depends on how long it stays on land and whether it goes over the more mountainous regions of these islands versus flatter areas. Hopefully we will know more in the coming days.
Besides a few strong waves behind this system the rest of the tropics remain quite for now.

Like a Groundhog Day for middle grade readers, Mass's (Every Soul a Star) winning story features a girl seemingly trapped in her 11th birthday. Amanda seems doomed to relive her failed try-out for the gymnastics team, her mother being fired from her job and, worst of all, the party that even her best friend leaves early-to go to the party hosted by her former friend, Leo. The two have celebrated every previous birthday together (they were born on the same day), but a misunderstanding on their 10th has gone unresolved. After several repeats of the day, Amanda and Leo realize they are in this mess together and must work as a team. Girls will relate to Amanda's insecurities, and the confidence and insights she gains will resonate with them. Mass's expertise with pacing keeps the story moving at a lively clip, and her understanding of this age group is as finely honed as ever. Ages 9-12. (Jan.)

Overspray Protection
Carpeting experiences so much wear and tear over the years, everything from foot traffic to spills and stains. Without protection, the fibers of the carpet will wear out much sooner, causing the carpet to lose some of its aesthetic appeal as well. In order to keep the carpeting looking as good as new for as long as possible, most manufacturers will add a protective overspray at the factory using DuPont's Teflon, 3Ms™ Scotchgard or even their own product. However, a protective overspray will only last so long. This means that you should have an additional overspray protection added to your carpet every one to two years.
Benefits of Adding Overspray Protection
- Reduce Stains - Protective overspray will help prevent any spills from seeping down into the carpet. When you first buy carpeting, you'll notice that any liquids you spill on accident will bead up on the top of the carpet. Once the carpeting begins experiencing more wear and tear over the years, the protective overspray will begin wearing down. This will cause liquids to soak through the carpeting instead, thereby resulting in potential permanent stains.
- Reduce Wear and Tear - Adding a protective overspray on a regular basis will help prevent wear and tear on the fibers of your carpeting, especially in areas that experience heavy foot traffic, such as in the hallways or near the entryway. Without a protective overspray, those fibers will wear down faster, causing the visual appeal of your carpet to diminish more quickly.
- Keep the Carpet Cleaner - Keeping your carpet clean is an easier task with protective overspray because dirt that's tracked into the home will not cling to the fibers, making it easier for your vacuum to remove all of the dirt from the carpet.
- Reduce the Need to Hire Professional Stain Removers - You won't have to pay for a professional stain remover to remove stains nearly as often between cleanings if you make sure to add protective overspray whenever you have your carpeting professionally cleaned.
Ways That Overspray Protection Wears Off
It's recommended that you have a new layer of overspray protection added once every two years, or every time that you have your carpeting professionally cleaned. Overspray protection can wear off for a variety of reasons:

It's the day before the new counter tops arrive - and I've spent the day priming, painting and RE-painting the kitchen walls.
As much as I love color, after I had carefully selected a caramel color to contrast the counter tops, and painstakingly applied, when it dried - it just didn't work! Has anyone else done this? It just dried darker, much darker in fact, that the sample. And what I envisioned as being cozy warm turned out to be NOT SO COZY WARM!
So perhaps after the counter tops are installed, I'll give it another whirl. For now, it's just simple, clean and calm.
But the bright side is that a fresh coat of paint always makes things brighter.
Happy Monday everyone!

Dreaming of Spring...
The sun has been shining the last several days, the snow is melting and I find myself searching for signs of spring. You know, a bud on the tree, a flower peeking through the snow, etc.
A few weeks early, but the sunshine has really been a welcome sight for most of us.
Life continues to happen around here - just remembering to breath and enjoy the good days! Thanks to those who have checked in....it is appreciated more than you will ever realize.
Best wishes for a wonderful weekend for all of you!

Fed: Economy "decelerating"
The Fed's latest Beige Book report is out and shows an economic pulse that's barely beating:
The U.S. economy continued growing this summer but "with widespread signs of deceleration," according to a new report on business conditions around the country.
The Federal Reserve's "beige book," an eight-times-a-year compilation of anecdotal information from companies in the 12 Fed districts, offers a portrait of an uncertain economic moment in which growth has slowed in much of the United States.
"Economic growth at a modest pace was the most common characterization of overall conditions," said the report, released Wednesday afternoon and based on interviews with businesspeople from mid-July through the end of August. However, five of the regional Fed banks east of the Mississippi River "highlighted mixed conditions or deceleration in overall economic activity."
The anecdotal information contained in the beige book is consistent with a slew of economic reports showing that the burst of growth in late 2009 and early 2010 has not persisted through the summer, as the impact of businesses rebuilding their inventories and fiscal stimulus fades.
Therein lies the failure of Keynesian government spending used to stimulate demand. It generally is a one-time shot in the arm and does little to promote sustainable long-term growth.
Democrat party fail and the myth of the "last eight years"
It's about time Democrats start accepting some responsibility of the ship they've been running for the better part of three years now.
Via Instapundit, a Goy and His Blog notes:
The horror of "the last 8 years" has become it's own self-perpetuating meme. The problem is that it's a meme without meaning. Two of those eight years – now stretched to three out of the last nine – saw fiscal and regulatory policies determined by the Democrat Congressional majority, elected in 2006. Every economic indicator available shows that this is where America's recent tribulations began.
The real horror – the years since the Democrat Congress rose to absolute power – hasn't seen much discussion. It's "all Bush's fault", as they say. But as the last ten years recede into the rear view mirror, we can see them in context. And 20/20 hindsight can often be quite revealing.
And if they don't take most of the responsibility, which I'm sure they won't, the Republicans need to force it on them come the midterm campaign, and establish that narrative.
I wrote along these lines back in January and how Republicans need to keep pointing out this fact. I'm not excusing the blatant excessive spending of the Republicans back during the Bush administration. But as Goy notes in his post, those years are quickly receding.
One other point worth noting–the entire "success" of the Obama administration and to an extent, that of Democrats in control, depends on the "Bush and Republicans screwed things up and we're making it better" meme. This is made easier thanks to a complicit media. If Republicans want to roll back healthcare, if they want to stop whatever more economic destruction the Obama Democrats want to bring down on the country from now until November, Republicans need to grow a backbone and fight back–hard.

Gordon makes debut as Celtic draw with Dresden
Former Scotland goalkeeper Craig Gordon made his Celtic debut in a 1-1 friendly draw with Dynamo Dresden on Saturday.
Gordon, signed as a free agent earlier this month, played the first half of a fixture sandwiched between the two legs of Celtic's UEFA Champions League third qualifying round tie with Icelandic side KR.
Ronny Deila's men ran out 1-0 winners in the first leg against KR on Tuesday, but were unable to keep a clean sheet on this occasion after moving ahead through Kris Commons' eighth-minute strike.
Commons drilled home from 12 yards after being set up by Teemu Pukki's lay-off.
However, last season's top goalscorer in the Scottish Premiership was forced off before the interval and Deila then made 10 further changes at half-time.
Dresden, relegated from the second tier of German football in May, subsequently found an equaliser as the pace of play dropped in baking-hot conditions.
An effort from Marvin Stefaniak was cleared off the line in the 68th minute, but Sylvano Comvalius picked up the loose ball and finished calmly.
Celtic were unable to find a winner thereafter and will now turn their attention to a home tie against KR on Tuesday.

To be eligible for a league's list, a pitcher must have thrown 1/3 inning for each team game or have made 20 appearances (10 in short-season and rookie-level leagues). Hitters need one plate appearance for each team game.
When high Class A California League teams released their roster this spring, one veteran pro scout got his copy and said, "San Jose is the club you want to see. They've loaded that club with all their best guys."
Pro scouts certainly know the way to San Jose. Not only did the Giants finish with 93 wins (one off the minor league lead) and sweep High Desert in the playoff finals, but they also landed four players on our Cal League Top 20 list. San Francisco has assembled one of the most talented systems in the game and it showed with catcher Buster Posey (the league's No. 1 prospect), lefthander Madison Bumgarner (who would have ranked ahead of Posey if he had enough innings to qualify) and a prospect-studded outfield of Thomas Neal, Roger Kieschnick and Darren Ford. Lefthander Craig Clark went 16-2, 2.86 and won the league's pitcher of the year award, but he didn't make the Top 20 because he's 25 and more of a finesse pitcher.
San Jose didn't have a monopoly on Cal League talent. Though the league features many ballparks that favor hitters, several pitchers stood out. Bumgarner and Visalia's Jarrod Parker only made brief cameos before departing for higher levels, but Modesto's Christian Friedrich, Inland Empire's Chris Withrow, High Desert's Phillippe Aumont and Stockton's Pedro Figueroa all showed plus fastballs and nasty breaking pitches.

Bernard Berrian Will Sue Your Puppy
Bernard Berrian has had a rough month.
In early October, the much-maligned NFL receiver was forced to apologize after telling a double-amputee Iraq war veteran (who also happened to be a state congressman) who criticized him on Twitter to "sit down n shut up!!" Recognizing a situation that was ripe for comedy, sports and television blogger (and fellow Iraq veteran) Matt Ufford wrote a post satirizing the incident for the popular sports humor blog Kissing Suzy Kolber, featuring a mock Berrian sending insults via twitter to Pope Benedict XVI, the Dalai Lama, and a golden retriever puppy. Shortly thereafter, the writers at Kissing Suzy Kolber received a cease-and-desist letter from Berrian's legal team threatening legal action for defamation and slander (despite the fact that the speech at issue was written, not spoken). KSK immediately pulled the post, not because Berrian's claim had merit, but because they did not have the financial resources to engage in a lengthy legal battle.
This type of legal threat is a legal tactic commonly characterized as a SLAPP, or Strategic Lawsuit Against Public Participation, and is used by prominent public figures or organizations to chill protected speech by small, dissenting speakers. The threat of a lawsuit by a public figure or organization being criticized with more financial and/or legal resources than the speaker frequently induces the speaker to remove or retract their speech because they cannot afford the time and expense of a lawsuit, even if they are likely to succeed on the merits. Presently there are no federal anti-SLAPP laws, but some states have adopted stringent laws designed to prevent actors in that state from threatening frivolous legal action in order to chill free speech. These statutes do not exist in many states, however, and often apply only to government actors or issues in the public interest in the states that have them, leaving critics of public entertainment figures open to these sorts of threats. Despite the Supreme Court's infamous declaration in Hustler Magazine v. Falwell that the First Amendment protects speech satirizing public figures as long as the speech could not be reasonably perceived as true, entertainment and sports figures can still achieve the same chilling effect on free speech through the threat of expensive litigation. Most recently, Daniel Snyder, owner of the Washington Redskins, sued the Washington City Paper for libel over an article that detailed and criticized Snyder's various failings as owner of the Redskins. After Snyder admitted the suit was only designed to elicit an apology from the paper and that he never even read the article in question, his legal team dropped the suit, but speakers and writers who lack the financial resources of a major newspaper or magazine often cannot afford to risk incurring the same litigation costs as the Washington City Paper or Hustler Magazine.
So what's the solution? Federal anti-SLAPP legislation should severely limit these sorts of suits. In the meantime, an Oregon court recently ruled that the state's anti-SLAPP legislation applies to Twitter posts, so if your puppy wants to tweet disparaging comments about underachieving professional athletes, he might want to consider doing it in Oregon.
As for Bernard Berrian? He was cut from the Minnesota Vikings on October 25 for his poor attitude.
But at least he won his fight with your puppy. For now.
P.S. Kissing Suzy Kolber republished Ufford's original post on October 31. Free speech for puppies prevails!

One Response to Bernard Berrian Will Sue Your Puppy
Charles Michels says:
I wonder why KSK pulled the article in the first place? From what I've read over there, that's pretty much all they do, satirize that is.
Odd that they would pull it. I'm sure that they could have gotten in touch with some First Amendment group that could have helped fund a defense, had it come to that. I'm sure at the first sign of a fight Berrian's team would have backed off, since their claim was likely to be fairly weak.

Scientists puzzled by giant whirlpools that have appeared in the Atlantic Ocean
April 13, 2011 – SAO PAULO – U.S. scientists discovered two giant whirlpools in the Atlantic Ocean, off the coast of Guyana and Suriname. It became a sensational discovery because this part of the ocean has been studied thoroughly, and no one expected anything like that to appear in the area. More importantly, no one can understand where the whirlpools came from and what surprises they may bring to people. According to Brazilian scientist Guilherme Castellane, the two funnels are approximately 400 kilometers in diameter. Until now, these were not known on Earth. The funnels reportedly exert a strong influence on climate changes that have been registered during the recent years. "Funnels rotate clockwise. They are moving in the ocean like giant frisbees, two discs thrown into the air. Rotation occurs at a rate of one meter per second, the speed is sufficiently large compared to the speed of oceanic currents, on the border hoppers is a wave-step height of 40 cm," Castellane said.

South-Central VS. South L.A
Most people are aware of how South-Central's name was changed to South Los Angeles in order to shed its image of gang violence and poverty.
My questions to the residents of Southern California are... 1. Do people actually call it "South-LA" now or is the area still known by most people as South Central? 2. Do you think that the name change is a positive, negative, or insignificant thing? 3. In your opinon how much has South-Central changed since the 80's and early 1990s? Has this change, or lack of, been for the better? |

I was just thinking about this the other day, and how naming it South L.A. was such a terrible, stupid idea.
1) My dad's side of the family is from Watts. Everyone in his generation down to my generation still call the area South Central, myself included. 2) Insignificant as hell. Although the area has seen progress, the reasons for initiating the name change are still there. Changing the name didn't do a damn thing for South Central, you can't put sprinkles on shit and call it a cupcake. There are still problems in South Central. 3) South Central has changed quite a bit since the 80's and 90's, for the better. There's been some development in certain parts of the area. Most gangs are not as active and violent as they used to be, and some cliques of certain gangs don't even exist anymore. Although it's still a rough area, for the most part it's improving and it certainly isn't what it was during the crack era. |

VZN sounds right.
Some people called any black neighborhood "south central" even if it was downtown, the West Adams district or Inglewood (not very south and not very central). East of Alameda was Hispanic but I don't know if they considered themselves South Central. When we visited there, we just called it Lynwood or Huntington Park. This is all 30 years ago plus. Friends and family have moved to the Valley, OC, westside. |

I didn't know that it was officially called "South Central"
I thought we're just calling it by it's location.

Locals still certainly use the term south-central. This term was also once used for a much wider area as pesto was saying. The name change, first off, was not a big change so it looks like a half-attempt by the city. Secondly, the name is supposed to specifically reference the portion of Central Ave south of the middle demarcation. (Temple Ave) This term could still reference the specific area from LA Mart down past Slauson. Beyond that the area generally is called Florence for obvious reasons. The area has certainly improved since the early 1990s, property values have actually become competitive for the greater region. Homes that are now approx $200,000 were $15,000 fifteen/twenty years ago.

It will always be South Central, I guess only the official channels (the media and city) are calling it "South Los Angeles".
Crime now throughout the whole city is at 1950's level, so woop dee doo. |

I've had the discussion already 3 or 4 times in the last few days, but people keep asking about a white Christmas here in Kansas. Some would define it as actually seeing snow fall on Christmas Day, while others just want to see it on the ground. The National Weather Service defines a white Christmas with one inch of snow already on the ground from a previous storm, or it can fall on Christmas Day. Records date all the way back into the 1800s for Wichita, and since that time, only 13 Christmas' have been white. You might remember that last year we had a big snowstorm in southcentral Kansas right before the holiday, leaving us with 4 inches on the ground Christmas morning. It tied the record for the snowiest Christmas ever, but it was not the coldest. A high of 10 degrees above zero is the coldest on record, which happened back in 1983. Last year, many in central Kansas were cleaning up after a major ice storm. Those in the northeast part of the country are still suffering after the big ice storm that hit just over a week ago.
Our active weather pattern will bring one more system to the area Friday before things begin to settle down over the weekend. Next week our weather pattern looks quiet. The bitter cold goes back to Canada and we may actually get through the week without any significant winter storms. Have a Merry Christmas!

Reader: Is FIVE too much of a good thing?
Leigh Sullivan founded FIVE, a group of Denver chefs who cook across the country, back in 2008; the lineup, like Sullivan herself, has gone through some changes over the years. Sullivan recently relaunched her own marketing/public relations company, Leigh Sullivan Enterprises, and just announced the latest lineup of FIVE, which includes both chefs and bartenders:
Tyler Wiard (a FIVE veteran and executive chef of Elway's Cherry Creek); Hosea Rosenberg, Top Chef season-five winner and co-owner of Blackbelly Catering; Samir Mohammad, executive chef of Village Cork; Jenna Johansen, co-owner of Dish in Edwards and Il Mondo Vecchio Mercato-Salumeria, which is coming to Denver this spring; Crave Dessert Bar & Lounge pastry chef Jessica Scott; sommelier Jonathan Greschler of Fuel Cafe; and mixologist James Lee, formerly of Bitter Bar in Boulder, who's joined with Rosenberg to launch Blackbelly Catering.
The announcement inspired several quibbles -- about grammar, experience...and counting.
Says GFTW:
Isn't five, like, um, supposed to mean five?
More to the point, adds Nothankyou:
With the exception of Tyler, FIVE looks to me like nothing more than a collaboration of Colorado service industry professionals who can't hold a steady job at 1 restaurant for more than 3 months.
Too bad my interest in this self-righteous touting of supposed talent won't even last that long...
Quibbles and critics aside, as it moves into its fifth year, FIVE is still cooking....which is more than you can say for many other Denver dining ventures.

M.A. in English TESOL Option
Welcome to the M.A. TESOL home page! We are pleased that you are visiting us here to find out more about our graduate program. If you don't find the information you are looking for here on this page or on the links to your left, please contact the M.A. TESOL coordinator, Dr. Ke Zou, at email@example.com.
CSUEB's M.A. TESOL program provides students with a strong generalist preparation to work with adult English learners while still allowing students to explore particular specialties, such as general linguistics or composition studies. Compared with larger M.A. TESOL programs around the Bay Area, CSUEB's program has small classes where students receive a lot of individualized attention. When students work on their thesis projects before graduation, they work with professors who are specialists in different areas of TESOL, composition, sociolinguistics, and general linguistics.
CSUEB's program is organized around a cohort model which helps to create a strong sense of connection between classmates. Because our M.A. TESOL students are diverse in age, academic preparation, ethnic and linguistic backgrounds, and teaching experiences, they create a vibrant community of passionate peers who share valuable knowledge and experiences with each other in and out of the classroom. This community of learners creates many opportunities to explore different possibilities in teaching.
Another attractive feature of our M.A. TESOL programs is that students participate in volunteer and sometimes paid teaching internships. Our program has good connections with on-campus and off-campus language programs in the Bay Area. This is particularly helpful for novice student teachers to build their confidence and gain some practical teaching experience.
In terms of the structure of our program, there are 10 required classes (40 units) as well as a thesis (5 units). Most students complete the program in two academic years. The program learning outcomes as well as the required class list and the typical course sequence are provided below. Depending on students' individual schedules and academic needs, in some cases it is possible to create a more personalized path through the program. While completing the departmental thesis requirement, students work closely with an advisor on a project that is individualized and linked to their interests and professional goals. Students appreciate this individual attention to their areas of interest and find they are supported and engaged throughout the process.
Program Learning Outcomes
Students who graduate with an M.A. in English/TESOL Option will be able to
1. Communicate effectively in the profession both orally and in writing;
2. Apply information literacy principles in their work as TESOL professionals;
3. Integrate principles of diversity and inclusiveness in their classrooms;
4. Draw on knowledge of language ability to shape their instructional choices;
5. Use pedagogical content knowledge appropriate for a particular group of language learners;
6. Select life-long learning strategies to stay current in the profession.

The M.A. TESOL program at CSUEB shares the philosophy expressed by many educators: Teaching is life-long learning process. In addition to course work, students are encouraged to participate in on- and off-campus teaching workshops and conferences. Our program also models a philosophy of life-long learning by supporting the development of lasting professional relationships among classmates, graduates, and faculty. Due in part to these connections as well as the academic and practical training offered in the program, M.A. TESOL graduates are well-prepared to teach in a variety of settings, are successful in finding meaningful work during and after their studies, and have the tools and connections to continue their professional development and contributions to TESOL over a life time.

Earlier, it was confirmed a team member who was not travelling in the hire car caught up in a Molotov cocktail attack had been given permission to return to the UK.
Now, the Associated Press reports on Thursday that a second team member - one who was in the vehicle - is also leaving Bahrain.
"They were just people working for the team," said a team spokesman.
Force India's drivers confirmed the uneasy feeling in the team.
"It's a difficult one isn't it? I'm sure it's affecting everybody at the moment," said Paul di Resta.
"I've not spoken to everybody within the team, but there is some concern and some people have felt it a bit more than others.
"As for me, I'm how I've felt for the last couple of weeks, although there is an edge to things at the moment," said the Scot.
"I don't think, from what we've seen at the moment, the people (protesters) are here to hurt us.
"Everybody is individual, but when you feel uncomfortable, then you take action like the two people in our team have done," he added.
Di Resta's teammate Nico Hulkenberg admitted it is "not right" a sport is being affected by a country's politics.
"The F1 business is about entertainment, and these sorts of things should not really be happening to us," the German is quoted by AFP-Sapa news agency.
"It is not good that we have to worry about it -- but that is the way it is now so let's see and hope that the rest of the weekend is good and calm."

This collection of papers honors the 100th anniversary of the birth of Boris Nikolaevich Delone, whose mathematical interests centered on the geometry of positive quadratic forms. After an initial paper presenting an account of Delone's life, including his scientific work, the book centers on discrete geometry and combinatorics. The book presents new methods that permit a description of the structure of some \(L\)-bodies and \(L\)-partitionings and that, in many cases, provide a definitive description. Also studied are combinatorial-topological problems arising in the statistical Ising model, the disposition of finite point sets in convex bodies of high dimension under certain conditions, and investigations of regular partitionings of spaces of constant curvature.
Combinatorialists and number theorists with interest in geometric matters.

9th Secretary General of the Organization of American States | |
In office 26 May 2005 – 26 May 2015 |
Preceded by | Luigi R. Einaudi acting |
Succeeded by | Luis Almagro |

Spouse(s) | Georgina Núñez Reyes |
Alma mater | University of Michigan |
José Miguel Insulza Salinas (born June 2, 1943) is a Chilean politician and statesman. He occupied (since May 26, 2005 until May 26, 2015) the post of Secretary General of the Organization of American States, until replaced by the former Uruguayan Foreign Minister Luis Almagro.[1]
Insulza is nicknamed El Panzer in Chile, for his tank-like drive and reputation due to his ability to take political heat with little apparent damage.[2] He is married to Georgina Núñez Reyes (Mexican) and has three children.
Life and career[edit]
Early life[edit]
Insulza attended St George's College, an elite American English-language school in Santiago, Chile. He showed interest in public service while studying law at the University of Chile, where he was President of the Law Students Center, vice president of the students' federation of the University of Chile (FECH) and President of the National Association of Student Unions (UFUCH). After graduating from law school, he obtained a graduate degree from the Latin American Social Sciences Faculty (FLACSO) and a Master of Arts in Political Science from the University of Michigan, United States. He was professor of Political Theory at the University of Chile and of Political Science at the Catholic University in Chile until 1973. He was also Political Advisor to the Chilean Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Director of the Diplomatic Academy of Chile until 1973.
Exile in Mexico[edit]
During the 1973 Chilean coup d'état, Insulza was prohibited to enter Chile. Insulza lived in exile in Italy from 1974 to 1981 and in Mexico from 1981 to 1988, doing research and then working as the Director of the United States Studies Institute in the Center for Economic Research and Teaching (CIDE). He was a professor at Mexico's Universidad Nacional Autónoma, the Universidad Iberoamericana, and the Diplomatic Studies Institute. He has written numerous publications in his field.
Return to Chile[edit]
Insulza was appointed Chilean Ambassador for International Cooperation in 1990. He became Director of Multilateral Economic Affairs at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Vice President of the International Cooperation Agency (AGCI). He was a member of the Chilean Association of Political Science, the Bar Association, and the Chilean Council of International Relations.
On March 11, 1994, Insulza became Under-Secretary of Foreign Affairs. On September 20 of that year, he was appointed Minister of Foreign Affairs. On June 22, 199,9 he was appointed Minister Secretary General of the Office of the President. On March 11, 2000, he took office as Minister of the Interior of Chile.
Secretary General of the Organization of American States[edit]
Insulza was elected Secretary General of the Organization of American States on May 2, 2005 following the withdrawal from the race of Mexico's Foreign Minister Luis Ernesto Derbez. (See Organization of American States Secretary General election, 2005.)
On January 5, 2007, Insulza criticized Venezuelan president Hugo Chávez's decision not to renew television channel RCTV's broadcast license (Chávez had accused the station of being a coup d'état instigator.[3]) Three days later, Chávez responded to Insulza by calling for his resignation and referring to him as a pendejo—a Spanish profanity which is equivalent to "dumbass".[4] Insulza later received the support of several OAS members, including the US, and Chávez conceded he had gone too far with his words. On April 2008, Chávez congratulated Insulza for stating in a presentation before the United States House of Representatives Subcommittee on the Western Hemisphere that there was no evidence linking Venezuela to terrorist groups.
Insulza openly stated his intention to run for President of Chile, but on January 5, 2009, he stepped out of the race and vowed to continue as OAS Secretary General until the end of his mandate. He gave his support to Eduardo Frei Ruiz-Tagle as the Concertación candidate for president.
On March 24, 2010, Insulza—the sole candidate—was reelected (with the abstention of Bolivia) as OAS chief for another five-year term.[5]
Insulza won the Washington Office on Latin America's prestigious Human Rights Award[6] in 2008. In 2014 Insulza was awarded the prestigious Kalman H. Silvert Award presented by the Council on Hemispheric Affairs.[7]
As Secretary General of the Organization of American States, Insulza has been criticized for not taking any action against the human rights abuses in The Americas.[8] In 2008, the Human Rights Foundation started the "Inter-American Democratic Charter and Mr. Insulza" program, which will inform Insulza every month of the human rights abuses taking place in the Americas.[9]

For the first time, scientists -- racing the clock -- have snapped a photo of an unusual type of gamma-ray-burst event one minute after the explosion. They captured a particularly fast-fading type of "dark" burst, which comprises about half of all gamma-ray bursts.
A gamma-ray burst announces the birth of a new black hole. It is the most powerful type of explosion known, second only to the Big Bang in total energy release. This latest finding may double the number of gamma-ray bursts available for study and rattle a few theories as well.
These "dark" bursts are so named because they have had no detectable optical afterglow until now. Other bursts have afterglows that linger for days or weeks, likely caused by the explosion's shock waves ramming into and heating gas in the interstellar medium.
"Perhaps none of these bursts is truly 'dark,' provided we can catch the burst fast enough," said Dr. George Ricker of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in Cambridge. Ricker leads the international team that built and operates NASA's High Energy Transient Explorer (HETE), which discovered the burst.
The orbiting HETE, which alerts scientists to gamma-ray bursts, spotted one December 11, originating six billion light-years away, and relayed its location to observatories worldwide in 22 seconds. The ground-based RAPTOR (RAPid Telescopes for Optical Response) optical telescope, operated by the Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico, was the first on the scene, observing the afterglow at 65 seconds. Other telescopes rushed to the event in the minutes that followed.
The afterglow was gone in two hours and would have been missed and labeled "dark" if not for HETE's rapid turnaround. Also, as chance would have it, this burst falls into a subcategory of rare "transitional" bursts, between the short- and long-duration variety, lasting only 2.5 seconds. Thus, scientists have their most detailed look yet at the rarest of gamma-ray bursts.
Gamma-ray bursts are common, yet random and fleeting, events that have mystified astronomers since their discovery in the late 1960s. Many scientists say longer bursts (over four seconds) are caused by massive star explosions; shorter bursts (under two seconds) are caused by mergers of binary systems with black holes or neutron stars. While uncertainty remains, most scientists say in either scenario a new black hole is born.
Some theorists have suggested "dark" bursts have no detectable afterglow because they are buried in thick dust and gas, which blocks the afterglow's light from reaching us. Yet the new observation of the December 11 burst implies the opposite. Ricker said the burst may have occurred in a region with hardly any surrounding gas and dust; thus the shock waves had little material to smash into to create a prolonged afterglow.
In this case, the rapidly fading afterglow may support the binary-merger theory of short bursts. Binary systems with a combination of neutron stars or black holes are old, and in the billions of years they take to form often work their ways outward to less dense regions of a host galaxy. Thus, when they merge, there is no material to make a long afterglow.
After HETE's initial alert, Drs. Paul Price and Derek Fox of the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, Calif., were the first to report on the burst location using the 48-inch Oschin Schmidt telescope at the Palomar Observatory in California about 20 minutes after the burst. Reports are posted on the publicly accessible Gamma-ray Burst Coordinates Network Web site, operated by NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md., at:
Later came reports of three earlier observations, with RAPTOR, the Katzman Automatic Imaging Telescope (University of California, Berkeley) and SuperLotis at Kitt Peak, operated by Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in Berkeley, Calif.
Unraveling the gamma-ray burst mystery will require more burst observations. HETE is pioneering a larger mission called Swift, which NASA plans to launch in December 2003 to make such observations routine.
HETE was built by MIT as a mission of opportunity under the NASA Explorer Program. HETE is a collaboration of U.S. universities, Los Alamos National Laboratory, and scientists and organizations in Brazil, France, India, Italy and Japan.
