Unisex Baby Quilt (my first quilt)
Added May 17, 2011
by milnay3
Nsw, Australia
This is my first attempt at a quilt. I have absolutely no quilting knowledge what-so-ever, so it was a kind of 'learning by doing' experience!
I wanted to make something nice for a friend who is about to have her first baby. I made it as unisex as possible as she does'n't know what she is having and I wanted it to be suitable for a few children any way.
I probably should have chosen an easier pattern. Sewing the L shaped pieces wasn't as straight forward as I thought it would be, and I only realised this AFTER I had cut out all of my shapes! Got there in the end though.
It is far from perfect, but I am pretty pleased considering it was my first attempt. I definitely felt I was improving with each block I sewed.

It looks wonderful from here! I'm sure she'll love it.

Wonderful, Beautiful, Awesome!!!! What an ambitious pattern for a first quilt but you absolutely nailed it. I find quilt making fun and challenging at the same time but I have learned a lot about sewing through quilting. Great job and the baby will love it as will mommy. Happy Sewing!!!

Thanks for Your answer Peter, then my next question is: if I order the PDF, will I get the other (Kindle (prc||mobi)) version for free?
Comment Responses
If you buy the book right now, I'll send you the other version for free. Otherwise, it will be available for purchase on Kindle store!
But note that it will take me some time before I convert the book into those formats!
Fair enough! Order placed. May I recommend to try out Calibre [for conversion] which does a great job especially from HTML (or markdown) input? Or if you have a LaTeX source, there's pandoc which happily translates to several output format AFAIK.
Payment received, and my book system just sent you the book as attachment. If you don't see it in your inbox, please check your spam folder. (If still nothing, mail me!!!).
I have LaTeX source, I am gonna check out pandoc, or just prepare the document dimensions for Kindle (from their guidelines).
Some error reporting (but still, thanks for the great tutorial):
- @2.2:
awk 'BEGIN { ORS="\n\n" }; 1' the ; is not necessary AFAIK.
- @3.4: same applies in
awk 'NF { $0=++ a " : " $0 }; { print }'
- @3.7: ; before
- @3.9-3.11,3.14: ; before
- @4,17: "This is the first time we see the -F argument passed to Awk." Actually we had seen in @1.1.
Thanks for finding and reporting the errors!
There is nothing wrong with having ;, but yes, you're right, and they can be left out! One char shorter. :)
@4.17 - good catch!
It is good practise to program awk in C style. I would not want to work with anyone who believes code has to be as short as possible, sacrifying the readability.
I just bought the book. It looks very interesting. I would really like a .mobi version too.
Thanks for buying the book! I'll send you a .mobi for free when it's out!

Expected to compete for additional playing time — or even a starting job — Kevin Williams will instead spend the 2013 season rehabbing yet another lower-limb injury.
Following practice Saturday, head coach Bo Pelini confirmed that the Nebraska defensive tackle will miss the upcoming season with a knee injury. Williams (pictured, No. 92) sustained the injury earlier during summer camp.
"This is the second time he has had a knee injury. I just feel for the kid." Pelini said in quotes distributed by the team, "He'll come back, it was a pretty clean injury. We think he will be able to rehab, and he will be just fine going forward."
Williams played in five games in 2012 after returning from a knee injury. That medical issue cost the redshirt sophomore his true freshman season in 2011.

Kelly Clarkson Brings Top 'Duets' Picks Onstage in San Diego
Kelly Clarkson, Sugarland's Jennifer Nettles, Lionel Richie and Robin Thicke all have one thing in common right now (and no, it's not their super successful recording careers). They're each scouring the nation for the very best singers to join their teams on the upcoming ABC show 'Duets.' And though the show doesn't officially premiere until May, the artists are already getting a major start on choosing their team members.
At her San Diego show Tuesday (April 10), Clarkson put two of her top picks to the test by having them duet with her onstage during her live show. Jason Farol and Julianna Gutierrez each got one song to sing with Clarkson — the 'What Doesn't Kill You (Stronger)' singer invited Farol up to sing the male part on the Civil Wars' 'Poison & Wine' and then dueted with Gutierrez to 'Georgia on My Mind.'
"I've auditioned and auditioned," Clarkson told her crowd, "and I've come down to a couple of people I'm very, very excited about. But my test for them is to put them in front of an audience … Both of these singers are incredible, so be prepared for that."
Clarkson was right; both singers held their own next to the soulful singer, and Farol could have even put a little more power behind his melodic voice to make the duet even, so as to not get lost behind Clarkson's voice. We'll have to wait until May to see if these two end up on Clarkson's team in the very first season of 'Duets,' but if they do, we think they'll stand a great chance in the competition.

Agriculture Secretary Ann M. Veneman announced that $84 million will be made available through USDA's Farm and Ranch Lands Protection Program to protect farm and ranch land that is vulnerable to urban development.
The funding is authorized in a provision of the Farm Security and Rural Investment Act of 2002 that targets the conversion of prime farm and ranch land for urban and other non-agricultural uses.
"USDA is committed to conserving our natural resources," Veneman said in a statement released by the Agriculture Department. "Through this program, USDA will work cooperatively with states, tribes, local communities and individuals to protect farm and ranch lands."
Through USDA's Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), FRPP protects productive agricultural land by purchasing conservation easements to limit conversion of farm and ranch lands to non-agricultural uses. NRCS will accept proposals from interested state, tribal and local governments and non-governmental organizations until the end of April 2004.
For those proposals selected for FRPP funding, USDA enters into agreements with selected entities to support their efforts to protect soils and historical and archaeological sites. USDA provides up to 50 percent of the appraised fair market value of the conservation easement.
To participate in FRPP, landowners agree to limit the use of their land for nonagricultural purposes and to develop and implement a conservation plan. To qualify, the farm or ranch land must contain productive soils or historic or archaeological sites and be:
Part of a pending offer from a nongovernmental organization, state, tribe or local farmland protection program.
Privately owned.
Covered by a conservation plan.
Large enough to sustain agricultural production.
Accessible to markets for what the land produces.
Surrounded by parcels of land that can support long-term agricultural production.
For a copy of the FRPP Request for Proposals or more information regarding the program, please consult the following Web site: http://www.nrcs.usda.gov/programs/frpp/mm

I love the buttery taste and the crunchiness of the coarse sugar and cornmeal in this tart.
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 teaspoon coconut extract..use whatever flavor you like with the jam you are using
- 1 1/4 cups flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 cup cornmeal
- 1 cup jam
- coarse sugar for topping the tart
- Mix butter and sugar till combined. Stir in the egg and coconut extract.
- In another bowl whisk together the dry ingredients, except for the coarse sugar.
- Add dry ingredients to the butter mixture just until it comes together, don't over mix.
- Separate dough, form about 2/3 of it into a disk, wrap up and chill. Do the same with the remaining 1/3.
- Once chilled, allow to warm slightly to room temperature. Then take the 2/3 disk and press the dough into a slightly greased 9" pan, patting it evenly onto the bottom and sides.
- Spread jam over the dough. Roll out the remaining 1/3 of the dough using as little flour as possible and place on top of jam. I cut star shaped pieces but as you can see it kind of rises together and you can't really see the shapes.
- Sprinkle top generously with coarse sugar.
- Bake at 375º for 25 minutes.
- Cool and serve..although I must add it was just as delicious served warm.

Before I launch into sharing about my dad, Keith's, growing up and learning the craft of airplane mechanic in the Army Air Corp, I want to go back in time and share additional information that has come to light about his Mac/McDonald family.
This blog has brought me many wonderful experiences and among them are meeting new cousins and interested readers. It has also increased my knowledge of researching in Canada. I have learned that I have to extend my search areas to a much larger view.
Two families that migrated where the Hugh and Theresa Downey family and the Ambrose and Mary Jane (McCarthy) MacDonald family. They left Sheenboro and Chichester in Pontiac County, Quebec and headed for Saskatchewan. They are buried in the St. Patrick's Catholic Cemetery near Leroy.
Ambrose MacDonald was a son of Duncan and Elizabeth (Sauvé)McDonell. I wrote about Duncan and Elizabeth's family in this post on this blog: "Duncan McDonell and Elizabeth Sauvé," November 10, 2011. My cousins and I are still working on figuring out their children so don't assume it is completely correct.
Ambrose would be a nephew of my great-grandmother Mary McDonell who married Archibald McDonell, yes they were both McDonells. Duncan would be Mary's brother if the lineage is correct. I will discuss that tangle in a later post. It appears that Duncan Darby MacDonald who did a lot of research on families in Glengarry, Ontario and my Aunt Nellie have a different take on the lineage in the family?
Switching over to the other side of the family, to Archibald's side, I was able to determine with help from another cousin that the John McDonell who lived in Sheenboro and was married to Julia with the many last names was Archibald's brother. His daughter Theresa married a Hugh Downey and they migrated to Leroy, Saskatchewan. Of course, I need to do further research to establish this relationship.
I wrote about this in my post for this blog dated March 31, 2012, "A Discovery: Archie's brother John McDonell, living next door in Sheen."
Today, I would like to share with you photographs taken by a descendant of Ambrose who has given me permission to share. These are from the St. Patrick Catholic Cemetery near Leroy, Saskatchewan:
First, the Ambrose and Mary Jane MacDonald family:
UPDATE 6/27/2014: I have been informed that Leo Clarence MacDonald is buried in Leroy at the Holy Rosary Catholic Cemetery, Leroy, SK. This cemetery is right in the town of Leroy. Go here for more information on this cemetery:
Next is the Hugh and Theresa (McDonell) Downey family in St. Patrick Cemetery are:
I was having trouble finding this cemetery on Find A Grave but I will go back and study it later. They want you to use Saint not St. and it can get confusing. Now what I need are obituaries for these people.
I did find this cemetery at the Saskatchewan Cemeteries Project:
Again, thanks to my cousin for taking and sharing these photos, it is so very cool!

MACON, Ga. (Jan. 14, 2010) - The ETSU track and field team came through with strong efforts last weekend at the Clemson Invitational, and on Thursday afternoon the Buccaneers were rewarded in a big way, as the Blue and Gold swept Atlantic Sun Athlete of the Week honors.
Senior sprinter Duronal Monal (Belle Glade, Fla.) and junior Jasmine Ingram (Frederick, Md.) captured the honors in the track events; while a pair of freshmen highlighted the Bucs in the field. Horizontal jumpers Ryan Beaver (Virginia Beach, Va.) and Bethany Lender (Altoona, Pa.) won their first-ever weekly accolade.
Monal picked up right where he left off from a month ago, as the senior sprinter raced to a title in the 60m dash on last Friday night inside the Clemson Indoor Track. The Belle Glade, Fla. native, who was fresh off a first-place title in the 55m dash in Boone, N.C., followed that up with a top finish in the 60m event at Clemson. The business major won the prelims with a time of 6.74 and capped off the finals with a win against Clemson's Warren Fraser, clocking in at 6.77. Monal's time in the prelims marked the sixth fastest time in the country this season.
Meanwhile, Beaver finished with a third-place performance in the triple jump on Friday night at Clemson. The freshman from Virginia Beach, Va. came in behind Georgia Tech's Alphonso Jordan and South Carolina's Marcus Stephens with a leap of 47-0.25 (14.33m). The business major also finished fifth in the long jump (21-09.00).
Ingram, a junior criminal justice major, captured the weekly honor for the second straight time this season after turning in a fourth-place finish in the 300-meter run last Saturday afternoon. The Frederick, Md. native returned from a first-place title in the 800-meter run at Boone, N.C. last month and ended with a time of 40.77 in the event inside the Clemson Indoor Track facility.
On Friday night, Lender turned in her best collegiate and conference performance this season in the triple jump at Clemson. The freshman Altoona, Pa. native went up against a tough field and finished fourth - marking the best leap against any A-Sun competitor this season. The nutrition major posted a mark of 38-09 (11.81m), which is 1-foot, 2-inches farther than Kennesaw State's Suzzette Van-Lare.
The ETSU track and field team is now gearing up for the Virginia Tech Invitational, which will be held this Friday and Saturday in Blacksburg.
The Atlantic Sun Conference is an 11-member league committed to Building Winners for Life.

Carville: Let GOP kill health care -- then run against them
Democratic Party strategist James Carville offered up a new strategy for Democrats to follow in their battle to reform health care: Let the GOP defeat it, then defeat the GOP at the ballot box.
At a roundtable discussion with Republican consultant Mary Matalin and host John King on CNN's State of the Union, Carville argued that if the Democrats can come up with an agreement that is supported by most Democratic members of Congress, they should let the GOP filibuster it, thereby killing health care reform and effectively painting the Republicans as being the party that opposed fixing the system.
That, Carville implied, would backfire on the GOP in upcoming elections.
"Put a bill out there, make them filibuster it," Carville said. "Make them be what they are â the party of no. ... And you know what? Run on it. Let them kill it. Let them kill it with the interest group money, then run against them. That's what we ought to do."
From CNN's Web site:
âWhat about this?,â Carville said Sunday on CNNâs State of the Union, âSuppose they pass a House bill that can get 56 Senate Democrats.â Then, Carville suggested, instead of using reconciliation, a special budgetary maneuver in Senate procedure that frustrate GOP attempts to mount a filibuster, Democrats should call for a vote. âAnd make [Republicans] filibuster it. But the old kinda way is that they filibuster it and makeâem go three weeks and all night and [Democrats] will be there the whole time.
âThen, you say, âTheyâre the people that stopped it. We had a majority of Democrats. We had a good bill. They stopped it.â"
Matalin, for her part, disagreed that the GOP would pay a price if health reform failed.
President Obama âwill be fine but the Democrats in Congress wonât," she said. "And youâre already hearing Democrats in Congress saying, âThis is déjÃ* vu. This is what happened with Bill Clinton. He makes us walk the plank and then we loseâ â as they did ... in 1994."
-- Daniel Tencer
The Raw Story
It would be a better strategy for the GOP to allow health care reform to pass, see how much more in debt our country goes and how little our health care improves, then bounce the Dems out of power.
I'm not saying I think it would happen that way, but it might.
When the Spurs lose...it makes Baby Jesus cry
I'm not sure how GOP can kill anything. Do the same as Stimulus Bill.
Let Democrats bring bill to vote and vote NO. It's now Demo's bill 100%.
If it works as Demos say, they stay in power for years, if not GOP wins in 2010.
This makes no sense. First of all, the Republicans don't have the numbers to filibuster so it will make the Democrats look weak and incapable of governing. Secondly, the only thing bipartisan right now is the opposition. 100 Dems won't support it without public option, 50 or so Dems won't support it with public option. Not to mention, the bill is not popular. Letting Republicans kill it would give them an accomplishment.
From ABC News:
Destiny rides again!

DUBLIN, Ohio -- Dustin Johnson was on the putting green at Muirfield Village with his light blue shirt untucked. It was a sure sign that he had not been at a PGA Tour event in nearly three months, only it had nothing to do with a dress code.
''I forgot to pack my belts,'' he said.
Jack Nicklaus founded the Memorial Tournament in 1976, and won his own event in 1977 and 1984.
Johnson last played at Doral the second week of March. Coming off minor knee surgery in the offseason, he tweaked his back early in the year, and then injured it the weekend before the Masters while pushing a jet ski out of the water.
''And then when I went to try to play golf the next day, that was when I knew it was injured badly and I was not going to be able to play,'' Johnson said.
He sat out for two months, wanting to make sure it was completely healthy.
Now, he has some catching up to do. Johnson was No. 4 in the Ryder Cup standings when the season began, and he helped himself with a few tournaments in contention at Pebble Beach and Riviera. Without having played since March, however, he is at No. 24. The top eight automatically qualify.
''Just have to play good golf,'' he said. ''Probably wouldn't hurt if I won a tournament between now and then. That would definitely help. I'm just going to have to get in contention a few times and have some high finishes and play good in the U.S. Open and PGA.''
Johnson's record in team play is 2-6-1 in the last Ryder Cup and Presidents Cup, though he badly wants to be part of the Ryder Cup team at Medinah.
''I want to be on the team and I'm going to do whatever I can to make it,'' he said. ''Obviously, having a couple months off hurts a little bit, but I've still got plenty of time to make the team.''

Last week, Sgt. Vince Giacolone traveled to Jefferson City for the annual Special Olympics – Missouri Law Enforcement Torch Run kickoff. This is the event that shows recognition for all the hard work and dedication law enforcement officers from across Missouri take on in support of our Special Olympics athletes.
This year in recognition of the same, the Rolla Police Department was awarded Greatest Increase in Gross Dollars for Region 6, Greatest Percentage Increase in Region 6 and Outstanding Agency of the Year for Region 6.
In addition, Sgt. Vince Giacolone, who is also the Region 6 assistant coordinator, was awarded Outstanding Volunteer/Unsung Hero award for his contributions to our Special Olympics athletes in Region 6.
The Rolla Police Department has been a supporter of Special Olympics since the 1980s and has been a proud Torch Club member since 1993. Torch Club members are law enforcement agencies that raise at least $1,000 in donations for Special Olympics each year.
This year we will continue our tradition and will be offering the 2014 Law Enforcement Torch Run T-shirts for sale beginning immediately. On Saturday, Feb. 15, 2014, the Rolla Police Department and Missouri State Highway Patrol Troop I will be hosting the first ever Polar Plunge. This event will be held at the Fugitive Run Quarry just east of Rolla and all proceeds benefit our Special Olympics athletes.
If you are interested in "Freezin' for a Reason," gather family and friends, and take the plunge with us. For more information on T-shirt purchases and the Polar Plunge visit our Rolla Police Department Facebook page or contact Sgt. Vince Giacolone at 308-1213. Thank you for helping us help the athletes.
Speaking of Special Olympics, we would like to thank Kent's Jewelry owner Kent Bagnall for his continued support of Special Olympics – Missouri with his donation of $500 to the Polar Plunge Rolla benefit. Thanks, Kent!
In closing, I would like to include these holiday safety tips as I do each year.
If you are traveling
• Get an automatic timer for your lights.
• Ask a neighbor to watch your home, shovel snow and park in the driveway from time to time.
• Don't forget to have mail and newspaper delivery stopped. If it piles up, it's a sure sign you're gone.
If you are out for the evening
• Turn on lights and a radio or TV so it looks like someone's home.
• Be extra cautious about locking doors and windows when you leave, even if it's just for a few minutes.
• Don't display gifts where they can be seen from outside.
If you are shopping
• Stay alert and be aware of what's going on around you.
• Park in a well-lighted space, and be sure to lock the car, close the windows and hide shopping bags and gifts in the trunk.
• Avoid carrying large amounts of cash; pay with a check or credit card whenever possible.
• Deter pickpockets and purse-snatchers. Don't overburden yourself with packages. Be extra careful with purses and wallets. Carry a purse close to your body, not dangling by the straps. Put a wallet in an inside coat or front pants pocket.
• Shopping with kids? Teach them to go to a store clerk or security guard if you get separated.
Protect your vehicle
Loading up on all those gifts is a sign of progress in the holiday shopping. But if those packages are left out in the open after they're in the car, your car has become a likely target for thieves. Remember the old cliché — "Out of sight, out of mind?" The same idea applies to items in your car.
Always lock your vehicle and store all items out of sight. Breaking into an empty car isn't worth a thief's time. However, anything left in plain view – from your holiday gifts to spare change, sunglasses, CDs, cellphones or briefcases – may tempt a thief.
Help prevent your vehicle from being stolen by always locking your car and using anti-theft devices. And although it's cold, never leave your vehicle running while you run inside your home or a store – even if for only a minute or two.
If a stranger comes to the door
Criminals sometimes pose as couriers delivering gifts. And it's not uncommon for people to try to take advantage of others' generosity during the holidays by going door-to-door for charitable donations when there's no charity involved.
Ask for identification, and find out how the funds will be used. If you aren't satisfied, don't give. Help a charitable organization you know and like instead.
Last but not least, don't let holiday stress get the best of your holiday spirit. Make time to get together with family, friends, and neighbors. And think about reaching out in the spirit of the season and helping someone who's less fortunate or lonely.
Do your part to make the holidays a safe and happy time for everybody—except criminals.
After you've opened the gifts
Burglars know that many households have new, and oftentimes expensive, items in their homes following the December holidays – especially items such as new computers and peripherals, stereo components, televisions, cameras and other electronic equipment.
In too many cases, residents make it easy for burglars to figure out which homes to target by putting boxes that identify their new gifts in plain view with their other garbage.
Avoid becoming an easy target for post-holiday burglars by not leaving boxes for new electronics and other items in the alley or other garbage pick-up locations for several days at a time.
Instead, break down any boxes you are throwing out, put them in garbage bags and place them inside a trash can. (In many cases, especially with computer equipment, you might consider keeping the boxes for safe storage, shipping or moving in the future.)
Think about keeping broken-down boxes inside – in a garage, for example – until the evening before your regular garbage pick-up. Some burglars actually look inside garbage cans for evidence of holiday gifts.
And, of course, if you see someone suspicious casing your alley, call the Rolla Police Department's non-emergency number at 308-1213. If you see a burglary in progress, call 911.
Take a holiday inventory
The holidays are a good time to update — or create — your home inventory. Take photos or make videos of items, and list descriptions and serial numbers. If your home is burglarized, having a detailed inventory can help identify stolen items and make insurance claims easier to file.
Make sure things like TVs, VCRs, stereo equipment, cameras, camcorders, sports equipment, jewelry, silver, computers, home office equipment and power tools are on the list. Remember to check it twice!
Celebrate responsibly
The holiday season is a time of celebration and revelry. Drinking and driving is a danger to everyone on the road. Anyone with a BAC of .08 or higher is in violation of Missouri law and may go to jail.
Remember that the risk isn't worth it – if you choose to drink alcohol at a party, don't drive. Take a cab, use public transportation or a designated driver, or call a friend or family member.
Have fun, but remember to celebrate responsibly.
Have a great week!

Environment piece I did for my independent study with Will:
Mostly inpsired by vintage animation backgrounds, I was trying to combine some flat painting with line art. The printer was being super finicky with the printing on this one, so the trees are more orange then yellow, and the buildings are more gray then purple.
Oh, and the color lecture went pretty well I think, maybe I'll do it again after I reorganize my notes.
I also posted the first two themes on our sketchblog, so start sketching!

I see to have an unusual problem. I am running Bible Analyzer 3.72 on Linux Mint 7 (based on Ubuntu 9.04). The edit and export functions work fine within the program. However, I can not copy from any of the windows, including the S pad, and paste to another word processor.
I reinstalled the the program once and the edit/export functions worked. However, when I re-booted later, it was back as previous. I can copy and paste between other programs using the system clipboard.
I am fairly new at Linux and enjoy it and Bible Analyzer fits my needs better than any other program I've found. I've ordered the CD so I'd appreciate any help!
Thank you

Sparky had a unique and wonderful ability to take the pressure off while at the same time keeping us at it. There was discipline, there were rules that Sparky cared about and enforced, but in such a way that life became easier, not harder.
- Joe Morgan
George "Sparky" Anderson was born in Bridgewater, South Dakota, in 1934, and he became the Reds manager in October of 1969. His only previous Major League experience was one year as a player with the Phillies, and one year as a third base coach with the Padres. Some within the Reds organization had thought that General Manager Bob Howsam had made a mistake by hiring an "unknown." But after nine years as skipper, Sparky had led the Reds to five division titles, four NL pennants, and two World Series championships. He compiled 863 wins as Reds manager, setting a club record for most managerial wins as well as best managerial winning percentage (.596).
After an unpopular dismissal by the Reds after the 1978 season, Anderson went on to manage the Tigers to a 1984 world title, becoming the first manager to win the World Series in both leagues. In his managerial career, Anderson won 2,194 games, ranking Sparky sixth all-time in baseball history. In the year 2000, Sparky Anderson was elected to both the Reds Hall of Fame and the National Baseball Hall of Fame. In 2005, he had his No. 10 retired by the Reds.

How to easily remove JILLSCLICKCORNER.COM virus? (Virus removal guide)I have enough computer skill to remove virus manually using only my hands and internal Windows utilities.
But it takes a lot of time. It's not easy. Use the manual removal instruction it at your own risk.
Someone told me about UnHackMe.
UnHackMe follows the same remove steps, as I do manually.
But UnHackMe is better, because:
It works very fast. You can save about 2 hours of your life!
UnHackMe has a large, constantly updated, virus database.
UnHackMe includes the special removal tools.
They help to fix access-denied files, to clean the protected registry keys, to scan in the off-line Windows mode.
I asked Dmitry, author of UnHackMe, some questions and I found that he is nice gay, always ready to help.
He offers a service, called 'Help in removal'.
Use Help-In-Removal service if you have troubles in virus removal or you afraid to damage your computer.
UnHackMe is fully free for 30-days without limitations.
Why I don't offer an antivirus for malware removal?Antivirus is good in removing file viruses.
But the modern malware are fileless.
Virus simply adds its link to your browser and you will see a lot of pop-up ads, redirects, notifications, etc. Also, malware uses the legitimate programs to download and execute malicious code.
UnHackMe is good in removing Adware/Fileless malware/Unwanted programs/SpywareUnHackMe was created in 2006 to remove rootkits - invisible/stealth viruses.
Now it removes all types of malicious software.
You can check the real reviews of UnHackMe on the Facebook.
Here's how to remove JILLSCLICKCORNER.COM virus:
STEP 1: Install UnHackMe. (1 minute)
STEP 2: Scan for JILLSCLICKCORNER.COM malware using UnHackMe. (1 minute)
STEP 3: Remove JILLSCLICKCORNER.COM malware. (3 minutes)

- Then you have to accept the license agreement.
- And later you have to choose destination to install and finish installation process.
- After that you have to run UnHackMe, and start scanning, you may use fast scan for only 1 minute. But if you have time - I recommend you to run Online Multi-Antivirus + Anti-malware scanning with VirusTotal - it will increase probability of detection not only JILLSCLICKCORNER.COM virus, but the other unwanted software too.
- After that the scanning process will begin.
- By the way, UnHackMe shows you everything he found, not only absolutely bad, but suspected and even potentially good. Be careful! Not sure - skip it! But if it is marked as dangerous - trust it. It will be red. Check it and click Remove Checked.
- After that UnHackMe may ask you for confirmation and advise to close all browsers. Do it.
- In case you need to delete file or directory it is better to check 'Use file safe deleting'. Yes, you will need to reboot, but this is best way.
- And after all you will see the results of your scanning and fixing process
STEP 1: Install UnHackMe (1 minute).
STEP 2: Scan for JILLSCLICKCORNER.COM malware using UnHackMe (1 minute).

It was tempting just to hop right into G is for genealogy, but I decided to challenge myself more and go with G is for Geography. This is because my genealogy research has forced me to learn more about the geography of my own home country. My knowledge of some of the midland counties was very fuzzy so I have learned a lot as I have tracked my relatives from the mines of Northumberland back through mining areas in other counties to their agricultural roots. I have started to put together information about this geographical journey on my Places page.
G is for Garden
No, I am not about to change a lifetime habit and develop green fingers. Strange really that I have so little interest in gardening as both my grandas and my Dad were keen gardeners. Garden in this instance is the name of my 5x great grandmother, Isobel Garden who married George Ruddiman. Isobel was born sometime in the mid 1700s in Aberdeenshire.
If you would like to know more about this alphabet challenge take a look at Family History through the Alphabet.

RIAA Also Tells Judge That Proof Shouldn't Be Necessary To Sue For Infringement
from the heard-this-before dept
Furthermore, while the discussion here was supposed to focus on whether or not "making available" is infringement, it looks like the RIAA decided to pull in a bunch of other arguments as well, noting that Thomas downloaded many of the songs in her folder (yet, the case was about uploading, not downloading), and that none of it matters because the RIAA actually does have proof of distribution (in the form of Media Sentry downloading the files). Again, though, those points are not what's up for debate here. So, once again, we have the RIAA trying to cloud the issue. Oh yeah, and, of course, the RIAA can't resist using its bogus arguments that international treaties require US courts to treat making available as distribution. That's an incredibly weak argument, based on the idea that these treaties, often written by the industry, and approved by diplomats who don't understand what they really mean, should be binding over what the law actually says.

Wedding Trivia:WHY IT BECAME "BAD LUCK" FOR THE GROOM TO SEE BRIDE BEFORE THE CEREMONYUntil relatively recently, brides were considered the property of their father. Their futures and husbands were arranged without their consent. The marriage of an unattractive woman was often arranged with a prospective groom from another town without either of them having ever seen their prospective spouse. In more than one instance, when the groom saw his future wife, usually dressed in white, for the first time on the day of the wedding, he changed his mind and left the bride at the altar. To prevent this from happening, it became "bad luck" for the groom to see the bride on the day of the wedding prior to the ceremony.

Here is a LOT of good info hope you can find something of use.http://www.homebrewersassociation.org/forum/index.php?topic=16135.01. Different yeast strains will add different flavors. (b.) Different yeast strains havedifferent fermentation parameters. That said IMO the same yeast would be a consistentending....Tho realize that my solera has 4-6 different organisms at least and it is amazing good.2. DO NOT sulfite anything just keep the bubbler onboard to relieve pressure buildup. (b.) When activity stops, you can bung the barrel. Ullage will then happen and youwill give the angels their share leaving room for topping off and expansion/contraction.3. Tip, I got some bees wax and took a propane solder torch and drizzled hot wax drippingsdown into and onto the obviously larger more porous external seams of my cask. particurlarly'the end boards.
If you dont want to melt it on you could probably probably melt a bunch on the stove in a double boiler and paint it on with a paintbrush.Are you going to use it as a solera or just batch by batch

Irving scores 41 points to match career-high, lead Cavaliers to 103-96 OT win against Wizards
- Image 1 of 2
- Image 2 of 2
WASHINGTON – Kyrie Irving scored nine of his 41 points in overtime to help the Cleveland Cavaliers snap a three-game skid with a 103-96 victory over the Washington Wizards on Saturday night.
Irving scored seven straight points on three possessions in overtime to give Cleveland the lead for good. He later added an 18-foot jumper to match his career high and finish 14 of 28 from the floor and 4 of 7 from beyond the arc.
Earl Clark hit three key 3-pointers in the fourth quarter for the Cavaliers, finishing with 11 points. Tristan Thompson added 15 points and 12 rebounds, and center Andrew Bynum made his second start in as many years, contributing six points and three rebounds.
John Beal scored 28 points for Washington, Nene added 24 points and seven rebounds.
Coming into the game, Irving was shooting just 38 percent from the floor and 32 percent from 3-point range.
In an duel of the No. 1 overall draft picks in back-to-back NBA drafts, Irving got the best of Washington's John Wall, who scored nine points and dealt 12 assists.
After Washington took a 45-30 lead in the second quarter, Irving led Cleveland back. He hit three 3-pointers in the final 89 seconds of the first half to draw the Cavaliers close, 49-44.
It was the first road win this year for Cleveland, which called a players-only meeting after a 29-point loss Wednesday at Minnesota.
NOTES: Cleveland guard Dion Waiters did not accompany the Cavaliers on the trip to Washington. When asked if his absence was due to a reported scuffle during a players-only meeting on Thursday, Brown said, "He's been to the doctor twice."

Preparing for the Installation
Preparing the hard drive
Assuming you want to dual boot with OS X, so you can update firmware, you have to shrink its partition with Disk Utility. You can either create a HFS+ partition now to override later, or leave it empty.
Booting the live image
Now, download the latest Archboot ISO, write it to USB, and boot from it by selecting it in the Apple boot loader by holding
Alt on boot (use rEFIt if you cannot manage to select it). When it comes to the syslinux boot loader, press
Tab to edit the entry and append
nomodeset to fix screen corruption.
As mentioned below,
broadcom-wl is sufficient if you are using the Linux mainline kernel. For custom kernels, you need to use
broadcom-wl-dkms. Both are available from the AUR. The easiest way to get Wi-Fi connectivity during install is to build the package driver on a separate system using:
$ curl -O https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/br/broadcom-wl-dkms/broadcom-wl-dkms.tar.gz $ tar -zxvf broadcom-wl-dkms.tar.gz $ cd broadcom-wl-dkms $ makepkg -s
This will give you a package (
broadcom-wl-*.pkg.tar.xz) which can be installed using pacman. Put this package on a USB drive, mount it, and install the package using
# pacman -U broadcom-wl-*.pkg.tar.xz # modprobe wl
during install.
You may now use
wifi-menu to connect to your network of choice.
The installation
Run the installation wizard.
Using the MacBook's native EFI bootloader
This method uses the MacBook's native EFI bootloader, i.e. the one the can be reached when holding the alt-key during boot.
At the end of the install process we would normally install GRUB or a variation the the drive. For this method we will place a
boot.efi file on an extra partition used by the MacBook's native bootloader.
First, install the grub package from the official repositories.
When generating a
boot.efi file, GRUB looks to
/etc/default/grub for its configuration. Edit the parameter
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT to look something like this:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet rootflags=data=writeback libata.force=noncq"
libata.force=noncq parameter will prevent SSD lockups and the
rootflags option is used for SSD-performance.
rootflags option on Btrfs. It is not supported.
Now we generate the
boot.efi file:
# grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg # grub-mkstandalone -o boot.efi -d /usr/lib/grub/x86_64-efi -O x86_64-efi /boot/grub/grub.cfg
Put this file on a USB (or other OS X accessible media) and reboot into OS X.
DiskUtility.app and erase the extra partition, mentioned above, to HFS+ and mount it.
$ mkdir -p <Path to root of extra partition>/System/Library/CoreServices $ mkdir <Parth to root of extra partition>/mach_kernel
Copy the
boot.efi file to the
<Path to extra partition>/System/Library/CoreServices/ directory. Using your editor of choice, create a
SystemVersion.plist file in the CoreServices directory, which is located here:
<path to extra partition>/System/Library/CoreServices/SystemVersion.plist
Edit that file to look like this:
<xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <plist version="1.0"> <dict> <key>ProductBuildVersion</key> <string></string> <key>ProductName</key> <string>Linux</string> <key>ProductVersion</key> <string>Arch Linux</string> </dict> </plist>
The last step is then to bless the extra partition using:
# bless --device disk0sX --setBoot
disk0sX is the extra partitions id. The id can be found using either
DiskUtility.app or by issuing:
# diskutil list
Direct EFI booting (rEFInd)
See: UEFI_Bootloaders
As of August 2013, refind can automatically detect the Arch kernel, removing the need for copying the kernel into the EFI partition. Simply install refind without the EFI file system drivers [1] using the
--nodrivers option [2], and enable the
scan_all_linux_kernels and
also_scan_dirs options in
refind.conf (see link above for instructions.)
GRUB (with OS X)
Another solution is to install GRUB. Edit
/tmp/install/boot/grub/grub.cfg and edit the boot entry to load Linux mainline instead of the normal one. You might want to append
nomodeset to the kernel line again, at least for now.
libata.force=noncq helps with hangs due to SSD speed.
Now cd into
/tmp/install/ and create the GRUB image by running:
grub-mkstandalone -o bootx64.efi -d usr/lib/grub/x86_64-efi -O x86_64-efi -C xz boot/grub/grub.cfg
This will create file called
boot64.efi which contains GRUB and the configuration file incorporated inside. It is important to
cd into the right directory to make it pick up the configuration file and put it into the right place within the image.
Copy this file to the MacBook's EFI partition. The downside of this method is that you need to repeat this step whenever you want to change the GRUB config. Reboot the machine and you should be able to select your installed Arch Linux by keeping the
Alt button pressed. It should appear as
EFI boot.
To generate a nicer config use:
grub-mkconfig, (add in
nomodeset if you are using framebuffer), remove
quiet if you like the text, then to update your GRUB post-installation, do this to make the GRUB EFI file and put it in the EFI partition:
cd / grub-mkstandalone -o bootx64.efi -d usr/lib/grub/x86_64-efi -O x86_64-efi -C xz boot/grub/grub.cfg sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt sudo cp bootx64.efi /mnt/EFI/boot/bootx64.efi
Post installation

DOVER — A joint investigation conducted by the Dover police and fire departments has determined Monday's fire at Westgate Village Apartments was caused by a boy playing with a lighter.
The investigation revealed that a 9-year old Dover boy had been playing with a lighter in the breezeway of the apartment buildings located at 5 Western Avenue.
According to Lt. Brant Dolleman of the Dover Police Department, the child's behavior is described as reckless rather than an intentional attempt to set the building on fire.
The blaze quickly rose to three alarms before firefighters could extinguish it as heavy smoke filled the surrounding area.
No one was seriously injured during the fire, though one resident reportedly obtained minor scratches during evacuation and was treated on scene.
The juvenile responsible will not face criminal charges due to his age, but will be diverted into alternate programming in lieu of court.
The fire struck a 12 unit, three-building complex and was reported at 2:31 Monday afternoon. Four of the units sustained heavy fire damage while eight others had smoke and water damage. Each of the 12 units were occupied when the fire struck and all residents were displaced by the damage. The Red Cross continues to assist the victims.
Responding to the scene, fire departments from Rochester, Durham, Somersworth, Rollinsford, South Berwick, Newington, Portsmouth and the Pease Air National Guard base assisted Dover Fire and Rescue. Station coverage was provided by Portsmouth, Newmarket, Eliot and Berwick fire departments and the Dover Police Department assisted with evacuation and maintained a presence on scene while firefighters extinguished the blaze.

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times… so was 2007 for the trans community, what with ENDA. Jacob Anderson-Minshall did a wrap-up of the year for The San Francisco Bay Times.
I'm looking forward to a long break from being quite so public; book tours are great fun, enabling you to meet tons of people who you wouldn't normally meet, but they're also exhausting because of all the travel. I'll pass the torch to Jennifer Finney Boylan, whose new book I'm Looking Through You, comes out 1/15. (Jenny's website was created by Betty.)
I'll be traveling to Wisconsin to teach Gender Studies – and a course in Transgender Lives – at Lawrence University, while Betty stays in Brooklyn. This will be the first time in our decade together that we'll have been separated for so long, but she is driving me there, probably visiting in February, and then coming to gather me again at the end of March. But I'm sure we'll manage, but to answer the forthcoming questions: there is no reason for our separation other than employment.
All best to you all in 2008.

Senators: CIA withholding secret interrogation review
WASHINGTON — The Central Intelligence Agency is believed by some members of the Senate Intelligence Committee to be holding on to an internal report on its post-9/11 interrogation practices, which aligns with the highly controversial findings of a committee report on the subject.
The possible existence of the secret report, commissioned by former CIA Director Leon Panetta, was revealed Tuesday during a tense confirmation hearing for Caroline Krass, who was nominated by the White House to serve as general counsel for the agency. Several committee members pressed Krass on the review's existence and questioned why the agency is withholding evidence that the panel has requested in the course of its oversight responsibilities.
"There is word that there's an internal CIA report that Director Panetta commissioned that by and large agrees much more with our report than it disagrees. We'd like to see it," said Democratic Sen. Mark Udall of Colorado.
The committee's report is a massive, 6,300-page investigation that cost more than $40 million and took years to complete. Its highly critical findings — including information on the Bush administration's secret "black site" prisons and interrogation techniques — have been consistently disputed by the CIA and the White House.
The hearing highlighted the frustration of committee members over the continued resistance of the CIA. Several lawmakers say the report is the most significant exercise of oversight duties in the committee's history, and that the agency's pushback is interfering with the committee's ability to do its job.
But not all of the panel's members are sure of the review's existence. Committee Vice Chairman Saxby Chambliss, R-Ga., said Udall's remarks were the first he had heard of the CIA's internal report. Chambliss said he wasn't convinced it even existed, let alone that it said what Udall alleged.
"I'll be honest with you, that's the first I've heard about it," said Chambliss. "I don't know what he's talking about. … I didn't hear anything in that hearing today that is consistent with the facts as they pertain to the detainee report, so I don't put much credibility in that."
The CIA has met continuously with the committee since members approved its report last year. Agency officials have publicly charged that some of the committee report's findings are inaccurate and have asked that it not be released.
But despite these frequent meetings over the panel's findings, Udall said the internal CIA report he believes exists has not been included in the agency's responses, among them a more than 100-page memo challenging the committee's conclusions.
"There's a disconnect. You have the CIA and what they've said to us in that 60 hours of meetings back and forth with our staff, and … the report that Director Panetta commissioned," Udall said.
Udall and several other panel members said they're continuing to press the Central Intelligence Agency to release evidence critical to the committee's investigation, including Panetta's internal report and communication wires.
Krass said she was committed to working with the committee over the report. But she sparred with several lawmakers, including Democratic Committee Chairman Dianne Feinstein of California and Sen. Carl Levin, D-Mich., over whether the committee had the right to see the legal memos that justified the CIA's interrogation programs. She said the committee was entitled to a legal understanding, but not to the actual memos.
Despite the agency's reluctance to turn over the internal report, Feinstein said the panel is in the final stages of incorporating the CIA's responses into the report's 300-page summary. She said she plans for the committee to vote on the summary's release sometime next month.

December 24
A number of recreation and environmental groups across Oregon have united to fight an expected destination resort plan by Mt. Hood Meadows, Ltd.
The Cooper Spur Wild and Free Coalition is launching an educational outreach program against development on any of the 775 acres of Cooper Spur Mountain Resort property owned by Meadows. The coalition's fight will also include any expansion of the 1,400 acres of Cooper Spur ski area that Meadows leases from the U.S. Forest Service in the southern sector of the county.
Heather Weinstein, CSWFC spokesperson, said the coalition believes that the natural resources and wildlife habitat on Mt. Hood are being threatened by an increase in commercial activities.
"We will do whatever we can to preserve the northeast face of Mt. Hood as it is," said Weinstein.
In a published position statement, the CSWFC opposes expansion of construction of commercial enterprises on the mountain, favoring natural recreation opportunities.
For that reason, the group disagrees with the stand by Dave Riley, Meadows general manager, that a destination resort would be good for the economy of a county that is already 74 percent in public ownership. They also are in contention with his statement that the resort would not interfere with resource protection, since Cooper Spur is already home to many vacation and rental dwellings and the total of all combined ski areas equals only 11,700 acres, less than one percent of the Mt. Hood National Forest.
Weinstein said the 50,000 combined members of the individual groups want to arm citizens with facts and encourage them to become activists in the upcoming battle. The public outreach effort will encourage individuals and organizations to keep abreast of the issues on the CSWFC website, www.cooperspur.org, and become involved by writing letters to the editor and speaking out at official hearings. Weinstein said snow shoe trips will also be given to allow interested parties to view the migration corridor for elk at Cooper Spur, explain the cultural and historical aspects of the property, and dispute Meadows' environmental record.
"From a grassroots perspective we are able to bring all of our resources together and it's more to our advantage to collaborate," said Weinstein.
She said the coalition's member group has a "loose relationship" that allows each organization to act independently in some respects, such as litigation, with an agreement to keep each other well informed.
According to Weinstein, the coalition decided to form after concerns over Meadow's actions were brought forward by a resident of Mountain Shadows, a subdivision in the forest zone that has 22 homes. Although donations are channeled through the Hood River Valley Residents Committee, comprised of 120 family members, all funds collected are placed into a special account that is designated solely for the upcoming fight.
She said the belief that Meadows will be unveiling a development plan in the immediate future has already led many Hood River County residents to contact CSWFC with their concerns — and offer donations to aid the cause.
"Money is coming in because people don't want to see this happen and want to support the work we are doing," Weinstein said.
In addition to the HRVRC, the coalition's steering committee is made up of representatives from: Friends of Mt. Hood, Mazamas, Oregon Nordic Club, Sierra Club, Oregon Natural Resources Council, Oregon Wildlife Federation, Northwest Environmental Defense Center, Friends of Tilly Jane, and BARK (a network of volunteers dedicated to protecting Oregon's public forests.)
"I think it is great when groups with such diverse interests can come together, it shows a lot of people really care about the mountain,"
Weinstein, a non-practicing attorney from Portland, was chosen to chair the committee because of her background which includes almost 15 years of environmental advocacy. She and Joe Keating, part-time outreach coordinator, are available to present their stand to interested organizations. Their information will include a slide show about the environmental impact of a mountain development and the results of an economic study that is just being finalized.
"We're looking at all angles, science and economics," said Weinstein.
A CSWFC speaking engagement can be arranged by calling Keating at 503-234-2613 or e-mailing firstname.lastname@example.com. The coalition can be reached at Cooper Spur Wild and Free Coalition, c/o Hood River Valley Residents Committee, P.O. Box 100, Parkdale, OR 97041.
