Mysteries of Antique Quilts
Are you intrigued by the mysteries presented by antique quilts? It is so much fun trying to discover as much as we can about each quilt that comes our way.
Heidi brought over a quilt from her husband's family and we studied it together. It has a tag on it showing that it had been documented in the North Carolina Quilt Project in 1985. It is in remarkably good shape for a quilt of its vintage, which Heidi estimates is around or shortly after the turn of the 20th century.
It appears to have been hand pieced and partially hand appliqued in a Hawaiian pattern, with the usual echo quilting around the motifs very nicely done. In fact, almost everything about this quilt has been very nicely done. And herein lies the mystery.
There is no quilting at all in the interior of the motifs, which of course is a reasonable design decision. But as I studied the quilt I noticed that the edges of the motifs were sewn by machine, and to a much lower standard of quality than the rest of the quilt. I've seen this kind of thing before, and I leaped to the conclusion that this quilt had been repaired. Perhaps the fabric of the motifs had frayed and someone later sewed new cloth down over them.
But no, I was wrong. Flipped the quilt to the back side and saw that there was no evidence of machine stitching. Those motif edges were sewn down by machine BEFORE the quilt was quilted.
Back to the front side for a closer look, and I noticed that the innermost portions of the motifs had all been appliqued by hand. And the pattern was the same for each of the large blocks: innermost edges all hand appliqued (and very nicely, like the rest of the quilt), outer edges all sewn by machine (and with much less skill). By innermost edges I mean the central star and the linear features radiating outward from it.
So what happened? Did the quilter get sick of all that hand applique and give up?
This would mean that she was working on all of the blocks at the same time and had all of the innermost edges of ALL of the blocks done before giving up. Does this make sense? Not to me, but then I don't applique. What do you think?
Did she suddenly receive a nice new sewing machine? Same objection as above, with an additional objection: if she got a sewing machine and decided to use it to finish up that applique work, then why would she piece the blocks together by hand?
I'm sure some quilters continued to piece by hand even after they got that nifty new treadle, but most were quite willing to jump on the sewing machine bandwagon and piece the blocks on the machine. Perhaps they might continue to piece small blocks by hand for the fun and portability of it, but these are giant blocks.
Ah, mysteries, mysteries. Heidi and I had fun studying her antique family quilt and I hope you have enjoyed it too. If you see any clues we missed or have any deductions or guesses of your own, I hope you will leave a comment below.

This is so interesting. I have an idea, but it should be taken with a grain of salt because I don't quilt OR appliqué. But I noticed that the machine-sewn edges are all curves with no pivoting. There are times when hand sewing is easier or more efficient than machine sewing. I don't know that this is one of those cases, but if one were to machine sew those zig zag lines it would take a lot of pivoting. If the machine had an awkward presser foot lifter it might be annoying. Or maybe the maker felt that it would be hard to control the machine on the inner tight zig zags. It's just an idea -- I"m probably wrong!ReplyDelete
Is it possible that there was hand sewing AND machine sewing in the same areas? I'm wondering if a mother was trying to teach a beginner machine sewer how to sew and for an exercise had her machine sew, following the lines of the applique that were already hand-sewn.ReplyDelete

While out for a trike ride the other day we happened upon this small guy on a fence post. Just about the size of a golf ball, made of styrofoam, with wild "hair", and having a few pock marks (thanks to the snowplow and sanding trucks), he could still give us his happy smile.
So, if he can do it - you can do it, too.
Have a Smiley day!

DELAWARE, Ohio – "Between 7,000 and 9,000 were killed outright," Civil War historian Allen C. Guelzo writes of the three-day Battle of Gettysburg. "That's six times the number of U.S. soldiers killed on D-Day and several times the number of overall U.S. D-Day casualties. It's also almost four times the number killed at Pearl Harbor."
"[Gettysburg] proved that the American proposition was so precious that Americans would willingly sacrifice their lives rather than see it destroyed by civil war," Guelzo states. "In 1863, that was a wake-up call to every king, emperor, and dictator to realize that the ordinary democratic citizen could rise up to be as terrible as any professional soldier. One hundred and fifty years later, it still is."
Guelzo, author of The New York Times bestseller "Gettysburg: The Last Invasion," will discuss "Gettysburg: the Waterloo of the Rebellion" Oct. 10 when he delivers Ohio Wesleyan University's 2013 Richard W. Smith Lecture in Civil War History.
Guelzo, Ph.D., also is the Henry R. Luce Professor of the Civil War Era at Gettysburg College in Pennsylvania and the director of its Civil War Era Studies Program. In addition, he is the first two-time winner of the prestigious Lincoln Prize – earning awards in 2000 for his book "Abraham Lincoln: Redeemer President" and in 2005 for "Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation: The End of Slavery in America."
Guelzo will speak at 8 p.m. Oct. 10 in the Benes Rooms of Ohio Wesleyan's Hamilton-Williams Campus Center, 40 Rowland Ave., Delaware. His presentation is free and open to the public.
Ohio Wesleyan's annual Smith Lecture is named in honor of emeritus history professor Richard W. Smith, and each year features a national Civil War scholar. Past lecturers in the series, which began in 2002, have included Pulitzer Prize-winners James M. McPherson, author of "Battle Cry of Freedom: The Civil War Era," and Eric Foner, author of "The Fiery Trial: Abraham Lincoln and American Slavery."
Learn more about the OWU Department of History and the Smith Lecture at history.owu.edu. For those interested in the Civil War era, Ohio Wesleyan will present "The Secret War of Emma Edmonds," a new play written by OWU faculty member Bonnie Milne Gardner, for five performances between Oct. 4 and Oct. 13. Based on a true story, the play explores the life of Edmonds, a woman who claimed to have spent two years serving as a male soldier in the Union Army. For performance times and tickets, visit theatre.owu.edu.
Ohio Wesleyan University is one of the nation's premier small, private universities, with more than 90 undergraduate majors, sequences, and courses of study, and 23 NCAA Division III varsity sports. Located in Delaware, Ohio, just minutes north of Ohio's capital and largest city, Columbus, the university combines a globally focused curriculum with off-campus learning and leadership opportunities that translate classroom theory into real-world practice. OWU's close-knit community of 1,850 students represents 47 states and 57 countries. Ohio Wesleyan was named to the 2013 President's Higher Education Community Service Honor Roll with Distinction, is featured in the book "Colleges That Change Lives," and is included on the "best colleges" lists of U.S. News & World Report and The Princeton Review.

I recently read Embracing Obscurity: Becoming Nothing in Light of God's Everything by Anonymous. As I write this review, I'm having a hard time expressing just how helpful this little book has been to me.
I think, especially in our affluent society, we are groomed at an early age to clamor for the world's version of "success." Successful people, we are told, get good grades in school, are leaders and athletes, graduate college with honors, get successful jobs, make lots of money, have 2.5 kids and a white picket fence, and are loved by everyone who knows them. That's the "American dream," right?
But is that how God would have us live? The American dream mentality fosters pride in those who accomplish it. Then the rest of us try to console ourselves by touting our meager virtues to everyone we know so that we can feel good about ourselves, too.
Think about it: in your heart of hearts, what do you honestly hope that people think about you? That you're a great mom? You're thoughtful? A great teacher? Funny? Intelligent? Giving? Athletic? Think about that for a moment. When your name comes up in conversation, what do you hope will be said about you?
We all want to be valued. We want people to see value in us and affirm our wonderful qualities. We sometimes even convince ourselves that those are good things – that we are somehow being good representatives of Christ if we have a good reputation for {place your idol of choice here}.
The problem, of course, is that this focuses solely on us and not on the person we're here to make famous: Christ. In the words of the anonymous author:
Embracing obscurity is about being content with being "relatively unknown" so that Christ can be made more known. Temporarily going hungry so that many more may be filled.
Christ brought the Father glory by becoming nothing (Phil. 2:5-11). If He is our example in everything, it follows that we also will glorify our God when we embrace an obscurity of heart for His sake and for the sake of others.
There are so many facets of our lives touched by this simple principle, and I think the author touches on all of them. I have underlined and starred and "Amen-ed" more in this book than I think I have in any other book – and that's saying something! This is a book that I think I will need to re-read often to remind myself of its truths.
THE VERDICT: I highly recommend this book for any believer.

Retrieving information from Second Life via PHP
Budget $30-250 USD
Second Life is a well-known MMORPG game.
Once you have an account and done transactions with other players, you can download from Second Life website the list of your transactions and parse them into a MYSQL database since it can be retrieved in XML format. A transaction reflects the object/money you sent or received from other players.
Currently, when you want to upload your transactions, you need first to log manually in Second Life website (avatar name, password), and either go to the transactions page or type "[url removed, login to view];date_end=2009-09-24&type=xml&include_zero=yes" if you want to download the transactions dated 2009-09-24.
Nevertheless, it seems possible to download and parse the transaction automatically without any human interactions via PHP/Curl, as indicated here at end of the page "[url removed, login to view]".
The job consists to write the PHP/Curl script that retrieve the transactions from Second Life website automatically and parse them into a MYSQL database. The source code of the login page of Second Life and an example of a XML file are given in the attachement.

I can deliver the script in PHP/CURL if given a chance
Hi, I have written parsing programs for other pages/ APIs before. I can certainly do this for you. Please see my PM for more details.

Gal 5:16 But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not carry out the desire of the flesh.
Gal 5:17 For the flesh sets its desire against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; for these are in opposition to one another, so that you may not do the things that you please. (NASB)
A couple of days ago I was running through some pathways around a big nature park close to my house. The path was covered with a blanket of autumn leaves so it was difficult to see any obstacles. As I ran I was looking at the ground very cautiously because I feared that I would run across a root or step into a hole and twist an ankle or knee. If I injured myself I would have grave consequences so being careful and staying free from trouble was my goal.
On occasion I would get sidetracked and look around at all of the trees and beautiful colors and textures that I encountered along the way. Each time I caught myself doing this I quickly pointed my head downward to see the path once again as to not stumble.
Walking in the Spirit for me is the same way. I desire the things of God to keep me safe so I am daily trying to keep my eye on His path for me so I remain holy and faithful to Him.
What does it mean to me to walk by the Spirit of God and not carry out the desires of my flesh. I have pondered that on several occasions in my Christian walk. I have tried to rationalize it many times to mean something it isn't in order to make me feel better about certain decisions I was going to make.
Sometimes as Christian's we make the Word of God a little more complicated than it is. This part of the letter from Paul to the Galatians is to help us understand that living in the Spirit of God will produce holiness.
For me to walk means to be active. To continue walking step after step, mile after mile. It isn't a destination we are trying to get to, such as achieving a certain level of maturity so now I can "walk in the Spirit." Walking in the spirit is for all Christians big and small. From the new believer to the seasoned veteran, God calls us to walk and walk and walk in the Spirit. This will keep us from the desires of the flesh.
I did a search for "fleshly desires" on the internet and this is what I came up with: fornication, impurity, licentiousness, idolatry, sorcery, enmities, strife, jealousy, anger, quarrels, dissensions, factions, envy, drunkenness, carousing, and things like these... Many of these desires are easy to hide from our family and friends, but we can not hide them from God. He sees the desires we store in our heart and wants us to desire what He desires.
2Pe 1:3 seeing that His divine power has granted to us everything pertaining to life and godliness, through the true knowledge of Him who called us by His own glory and excellence.
2Pe 1:4 For by these He has granted to us His precious and magnificent promises, so that by them you may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world by lust.
2Pe 1:5 Now for this very reason also, applying all diligence, in your faith supply moral excellence, and in your moral excellence, knowledge,
2Pe 1:6 and in your knowledge, self-control, and in your self-control, perseverance, and in your perseverance, godliness,
2Pe 1:7 and in your godliness, brotherly kindness, and in your brotherly kindness, love.
2Pe 1:8 For if these qualities are yours and are increasing, they render you neither useless nor unfruitful in the true knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
2Pe 1:9 For he who lacks these qualities is blind or short-sighted, having forgotten his purification from his former sins.
2Pe 1:10 Therefore, brethren, be all the more diligent to make certain about His calling and choosing you; for as long as you practice these things, you will never stumble;
2Pe 1:11 for in this way the entrance into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ will be abundantly supplied to you (NASB)
I am encouraged today because I know that He is walking with me. I desire the things of God and today I am going to make it a point to carefully watch where I am walking so I don't step on a root or into a hole and stumble.
Lord, help me to walk in the Spirit today and every day. Thank you for showing me your path and making it easy to walk on. I desire your ways in my life Lord and ask that you keep me walking and walking and walking.

"In the Footsteps of Tikhon and Grafton" — Nashotah House to Host Anglican-Orthodox Ecumenical Conference with St. Vladimir's Orthodox Seminary
Nashotah, WI, September 1, 2009 – An ecumenical conference between scholars of the Anglican and Eastern Orthodox traditions will be held at Nashotah House Theological Seminary on October 8-10, 2009. Entitled "In the Footsteps of Tikhon and Grafton - Anglican and Orthodox Identity, Ministry and Mission in the 21th Century," the Anglican-Orthodox Conference will feature discussions and addresses by representatives of Nashotah House and St. Vladimir's Orthodox Theological Seminary in Yonkers, NY, together with several worship services representing the spiritual riches of both traditions. The conference will conclude with the signing of a "Covenant Partnership," pledging continued prayer, fellowship and ecumenical cooperation between the two schools.
Speakers will include the His Beatitude, Metropolitan Jonah, Orthodox Metropolitan of All America and Canada, who is President of the St. Vladimir's Board of Trustees, and the Very Rev. Chad Hatfield, an alumnus of Nashotah House who is now Chancellor of St. Vladimir's Orthodox Theological Seminary. The Conference is free and open to the public but advance registration is required. For more information, telephone Fr. Steve Schlossberg, Director of Communications, at (262) 646-6506.
"St. Vladimir's Seminary is committed to working out a new relationship with Nashotah House that honors our common legacy and heritage," says Fr. Hatfield. "Together we can take the work and witness or our forefathers and reclaim the voice of Christian orthodoxy that this world is starving to hear once again. Not to do so would be to fail to build upon the foundations of both seminaries and the two traditions that they represent. Now is the time to act boldly, and together we will in common witness to the truth of the Gospel of our Lord, God and Savior Jesus Christ. May it be blessed."
The Very Rev. Dr. Robert S. Munday, Dean and President of Nashotah House expressed his conviction that this new relationship between the two seminaries "is an important step in furthering a renewal of Anglican—Orthodox ecumenical dialogue, which is the oldest ecumenical dialogue between Christian traditions." Dean Munday added, "It is particularly appropriate that Nashotah House should resume the ecumenical efforts begun over 100 years ago by Bishop Charles Grafton (2nd Bishop of Fond du Lac and Chairman of the Nashotah House Board of Trustees) and Saint Tikhon of Moscow (who was archbishop of the Orthodox Church in America, and who was made an honorary Doctor of Divinity by Nashotah House in 1905, later becoming Patriarch of Moscow and head of the Russian Orthodox Church)."
Bishop Frederick Fick, MSJ will be attending this conference on behalf of the Society.

There aren't a ton of venues in Colorado Springs devoted exclusively to live music. But a lot of beloved bars, restaurants and more unexpected businesses multi-task pretty well. And there are more than enough musicians around here to fill the night with sound.
Crystal Caviani from the west side is an organic nutrition professional
What Colorado Springs band or artist do you most like to see perform? Ben Pratt. He does fun, upbeat stuff. He's very different.
What's your biggest impediment to attending shows? They usually start so late, and it's hard for us to stay out that late. We'd probably go more if they were earlier.
What could be done to enhance the live music scene locally? I like how Manitou has street performers. I'd like to see more of that here, and also more use of bandshells at places like Bancroft and Acacia parks.
What's the best local venue for live music? I like the Ancient Mariner in Manitou, Front Range Barbeque on the west side, and Rico's [Café and Wine Bar] downtown.
Ron Banta of downtown is the general manager of an energy company
What local band or performer do you most like seeing live? Lately, it's John Wise. He's full of joy when he performs, and he plays a nice mix of jazz, blues and New Orleans-style music. I saw him at Cucuru [Gallery Café] just last night, in fact.
Assess the local live music scene. There's a number of really good, serious musicians around here, and different clubs and bars have a reputation for bringing in good live music. [SouthSide] Johnny's has a good following for blues on Wednesday nights.
What's your favorite venue for live music? Right now it's Rico's on Thursday nights. You can have a glass of wine, eat a salad, a lot of the people there know each other and talk, and the music enhances things without being intrusive.
What would you name your band if you had one? I actually talked about this with my wife just last night. I'd be The Dunderheads.
Edward Fregoso of southeast Colorado Springs is a sales assistant
Is there a Colorado Springs band or artist you like to catch live? A band called Inelements that appears at the Black Sheep a lot. They bring a lot of energy to their shows.
What's the biggest impediment to people attending shows? Bad dates — shows on school nights and during the work week.
Who do you think are the best bands ever to come out of Colorado? The Flobots and the Fray.
Name your favorite local venue. The Black Sheep. It's a little small, but when they sell out, it's high-energy and tons of fun.

Ricoh GXR system camera
Ricoh GXR system camera :
Okay…Take a Ricoh GR digital camera, make some components with it, sleep on it for a night and come up with a brilliant idea. That is how the new Ricoh GXR can be seen. Leaked information now indeed confirms the existence of a Ricoh system camera. The Ricoh GXR appears to be a standard compact camera in terms of dimensions, but the GXR is truly a system camera. For the first time, Ricoh experiences the best that the world's most compact system has to offer, even smaller than Olympus and Panasonic's current Micro Four Thirds system cameras. Once again, Ricoh has distinguished itself from the masses and in the case of the Ricoh GXR, due attention will be paid!
Ricoh GXR most compact system camera
The Ricoh GXR is a system camera, so you can use removable lenses. However…it is not only about changing lenses, but you can also change the image sensor! It's a unique system, and the idea behind it is probably just as simple as the Ricoh GXR system looks. The sensor and the lens are closed components of the camera or rather the GX system. That leaves no room for dust or other debris to attach itself to the image sensor.
Ricoh GXR system camera with changeable lens and image sensor !
The information that was leaked talks about the availability of two so-called lens/sensor parts next to the Ricoh GXR body. The body has an LCD display on the back, and electronics with which the camera can be operated. The first kit lens, the combo of a lens and a sensor, includes a 24-72 mm f/2.5-4.4 VC lens and a 10 Megapixel sensor. This combo makes it possible for the Ricoh GXR to achieve a speed of 5 fps in RAW format. A second feature is that the Ricoh S10 24-72 VC lens only shoots in VGA video quality.

The second lens is a Ricoh GR A12 50mm f/2.5 macro with a 12.3 Megapixels CMOS image sensor. This lens also allows for shooting video clips in High Definition quality. Although the information is not official yet, we can assume that the Ricoh GXR will indeed be introduced in this form and with these details.
Ricoh GXR price
The Ricoh GXR prices mentioned right now are:
• Ricoh GXR body: £ 420 / 470 EURO
• Ricoh GR A12 50mm f/2.5 macro: £ 600 / 670 EURO
• Ricoh 24-72 mm f/2.5-4.4 VC lens: £ 300 / 335 EURO
Ricoh GXR system camera
Ricoh will actually take the whole GX system a step further. Can we think about printers and projectors in combination with the Ricoh GX system? How exactly it will work is not completely clear yet, but we will give an update on that as soon as possible. We can assume that the Ricoh GXR will be available this year, in time for the holidays. Quite a stunt from Ricoh, which will undoubtedly be the cause for quite some talk for a long while!

Azeri Leader Set to Entrench Rule in Vote to Lengthen Term
(Bloomberg) -- Azerbaijan holds a referendum Monday on constitutional changes that aim to hand sweeping new powers to President Ilham Aliyev, whose family has ruled the country for more than two decades.
Aliyev, who took over in 2003 after his late father Heydar governed for 10 years, wants to extend the presidential term to seven years from five. He's also seeking powers to call snap elections and to appoint a vice president for the first time.
Aliyev, 54, also wants to abolish an age limit of 35 years for presidential candidates, prompting speculation that he may be grooming his 19-year-old son Heydar to continue the family's dominance of the Caspian Sea nation, which has attracted more than $60 billion from BP Plc and its partners in the past two decades for energy projects.
The referendum "looks like an effort to turn the country into a central Asian-style state with one regime ruling it as a dynasty," Thomas de Waal, a senior associate at Carnegie Europe, said by e-mail. "It's possible that Azerbaijan will be ruled by either Ilham Aliyev or his father for 30 years," while there's "already talk of Ilham's son being groomed for the succession," he said.
Aliyev wants to change the constitution for the third time in less than 15 years as the former Soviet Union's third-largest crude exporter reels from an economic crisis triggered by the collapse in oil prices. The central bank raised its main interest rate to 15 percent from 9.5 percent, the highest since 2008, in an emergency increase this month. The manat lost half its value against the dollar last year as the regulator burned through more than two-thirds of its reserves to defend the currency before shifting to a managed floating exchange rate.
'Economic Woes'
The manat is the worst performer against the dollar this quarter among ex-Soviet currencies, having weakened 5.5 percent. The Azeri economy is expected to contract 2.4 percent this year, according to the International Monetary Fund.
The country's "economic woes may challenge the political stability, which probably explains the president's initiatives to strengthen his power and guarantee a friendly power transition if or when needed," Dmitry Polevoy, chief economist for Russia and the Commonwealth of Independent States at ING Groep NV in Moscow, said by e-mail.
The constitutional amendments announced in July are all but certain to pass after a low-key campaign without televised debates or public polling. The changes are a "continuation of political and economic reforms" in Azerbaijan, Ali Hasanov, a political aide to Aliyev, said at an August 31 meeting in Baku.
The proposals will only strengthen the "dynastic rule" of the Aliyev family, Ali Karimli, leader of the opposition People's Front of Azerbaijan Party, said on Facebook. The party held protest rallies attended by several thousand people in Baku this month that were sanctioned by the authorities.
'At Odds'
The extension of the presidential term "cannot be justified" and "is at odds with the European constitutional heritage," the Venice Commission of the Council of Europe said in a Sept. 20 analysis of the changes published on its website. Aliyev's "unprecedented" new powers under the revised constitution will "reduce his political accountability and weaken
parliament even further," it said.
The referendum "creates a grave crisis of legitimacy," Representative Christopher Smith, a Republican from New Jersey who's chairman of the U.S. Helsinki Commission, said in a Sept. 8 letter to Aliyev. The proposed constitutional changes "will undermine your government's international obligations to protect democracy and human rights."
Aliyev is only the latest head of a former Soviet state to seek to entrench his rule. Turkmen leader Gurbanguly Berdymukhamedov, 59, who's been in power since 2006, signed constitutional changes this month that will lengthen the presidential term to seven years from five at elections next February as well as scrap an age limit of 70 for candidates.
Vladimir Putin had Russia's constitution changed in 2008 to extend presidential terms to six years from four, and he's widely expected to seek a fourth term in 2018 that will take him to a nearly quarter-century in power by 2024. Belarusian leader Alexander Lukashenko, who's been president since 1994, was elected for another five years to 2020 last year.
Kazakh President Nursultan Nazarbayev has ruled since 1989 and secured a fifth five-year term in 2015 with 95.5 percent in early elections described as "non-competitive" by international observers. Tajik President Emomali Rakhmon has held power since 1992 and won a fourth election for another seven years in 2013.
(An earlier version of this story corrected the quote in the fourth paragraph to clarify that it refers to the late Heydar Aliyev.)

The Guardian — European countries are poised to begin the process of returning refugees to Greece, as migrants seeking reunification with their family members – mostly in Germany – step up protests in Athens.
In a move decried by human rights groups, EU states will send back asylum seekers who first sought refuge in Greece, despite the nation being enmeshed in its worst economic crisis in modern times.
Germany has made nearly 400 resettlement requests, according to officials in Berlin and sources in Athens. The UK, France, the Netherlands and Norway have also asked that asylum seekers be returned to Greece.
Greece's migration minister told the Guardian the first returns were expected imminently.
"The paperwork has begun and we expect returns to begin over the next month," said Yannis Mouzalas. "It will start with a symbolic number as an act of friendship [towards other EU nations]. Greece has already accepted so many [refugees], it has come under such pressure, that to accept more would be absurd, a joke if it weren't such a tragedy."
Mouzalas said he had no idea where the returnees would be placed or whether they would ever leave Greece. "I don't know where they will go. It could be Athens, it could be Thebes … they are accommodated in an apartment scheme," he said. "Whatever [happens], conditions will be good, they have improved greatly and will meet EU criteria."
Officials say privately that acceptance of the transfers has been non-negotiable given Greece's EU membership and receipt of funds from Brussels. Resettlement will not affect asylum seekers who arrived in the EU before March this year.

Meet Doriella
This is Doriella, she's a 15 inch Waldorf inspired doll. Her skin is organic cotton and she is stuffed with organic wool. Her hair is all hand dyed (by Mosaic Moon and Family Roots) and most of it was hand spun by me (there is a bit of 100purewool in there too, which is a very soft 100% merino 2 ply). I hand knit her "Mini Sweater," hand crocheted her little shoes, stitched her skirt and needle-felted her little robin friend "Tweetsie."
This little "strawberry brunette" has just a bit of Gypsy in her, so don't let her love of peaceful activities like reading and birdwatching fool you, there is a little bit of fire in her belly!!
Here is a sweet as candy picture of Doriella and her cousin, Lisa, together. They're the best of friends, though Lisa doesn't really get to play with Doriella nearly as much as she'd like to!

Chicken Cordon Bleu is a chicken breast stuffed with ham and cheese, breaded and fried. It's delicious, but heavy. I make a version that gives you all the same flavors, but is a lot lighter and easier to make. I used to make this dish all the time, but just sort of forgot about it until my Old School Italian Husband mentioned it the other day. I thought it was time to bring it back and share it on the blog. It's quick enough to make on a weeknight, but delicious enough to serve at a dinner party. Gotta love recipes like that.
4 chicken cutlets (chicken breast cut in half horizontally so it's thinner)
4 slices deli ham
4 slices Swiss cheese (I used provolone - the picky boys don't like Swiss)
Creole mustard (or Dijon)
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Lightly oil a baking sheet. Place chicken cutlets on baking sheet and season with salt and pepper.
Here is the creole mustard I like to use but you can use Dijon if that's what you have. Brush a thin layer of mustard onto each piece of chicken. *Safety reminder: Spoon some mustard into a bowl. Don't contaminate the mustard jar with raw chicken!
Lay a slice of ham over the mustard on each piece.
Next, lay a slice of cheese on each piece.
Bake in a 400 degree oven for 20 minutes. If you have thicker pieces of chicken you'll need to bake a little longer.
How easy was that? And just look how yummy these look!
The chicken is tender and juicy and flavored just perfectly from the mustard, ham and cheese. Plus, without the breading, these are much lighter than the original version. My Pickiest Eater Ever Son loves this dish even though he hates mustard! It just all works together. I hope you give this one a try and enjoy it as much as we did.

This video pays tribute to the inspiration he has provided to not only today's Landor team, but designers everywhere. Walter was a man who worked hard, played hard, and dreamed big with a passion for branding and his "restless inquisitiveness". In his own words, he was never satisfied and never felt that he had arrived.
Happy Birthday, Walter!
"No longer is the designer a handmaiden adding little niceties when budgets allow. He or she now is—and will increasingly be—an important part of the managerial team, right up there with the top executives, literally helping shape strategic policy."
—Walter Landor

This morning when I went out to let the chickens free range one had been pulled through the wire. These chickens had been down there for 5 months and not a problem. We move the goats and the next week a problem. Time to get another nanny goat to go with the little nanny so we can keep them in the chicken pen. jackie

Over the past decade, Kelly Reichardt has been making films that grapple with the shifting meanings of the American landscape and its history in relation to the people that occupy it. Meek's Cutoff, a treatise on women's historical subjugation to the whims and sadistic impulses of men, does so directly, while Night Moves and Wendy and Lucy indicate an implicit sickness festering within a society that ignores human suffering. While this approach may sound familiar, a cousin of sorts to melodrama or neorealism, Reichardt strips all sentimentality from her films and unsettles the exact targets of her aim. As in the finest examples of neorealism, her films provide no scapegoat, no immediate person or entity to blame for the actions on display.
Her latest, Certain Women, pushes that concept even further, telling three compact tales of women at crossroads in their lives, whether caught in the crosshairs of an unhinged man, teetering on actualizing a dream home, stuck in one of career ambition's curious detours, or realizing that the ranch isn't a satisfactory end point. Reichardt's film sees in the malls, law offices, two-bedroom homes, and diners of Montana a disaffected frontier where professional women, on the one hand, are still at the mercy of emasculated men, but also floating through a dystopic space of cultural fragmentation that never really welcomed them in the first place.
Prior to Certain Women's theatrical release, I spoke with Reichardt about the effects of her teaching duties at Bard College, a career of grappling with varying forms of anger, and how empathy factors into her filmmaking.
I'm interested in how teaching has informed your filmmaking over the years. Do you teach both film history and filmmaking?
No, just filmmaking. But you have to take film history and film theory to take film production now, which I really like. In terms of how it informs me is actually really easy to talk about. Easy-hard. I used to get constantly asked during interviews, and I haven't so much this round, when I thought I could quit teaching so that I could go to Hollywood, or whatever. And I always thought when I heard that argument, "Wow. You don't know Peter Hutton or Peggy Ahwesh," who are the people I teach with. They really help inform my filmmaking. We just lost Peter, who was a very important colleague and friend of mine. He's the person who brought me up to Bard and his whole outlook on filmmaking and pacing changed me. He had such an umbrella over the whole department. But also Peggy Ahwesh. Actually, the title of Certain Women comes from Peggy. I think it has to do, in a lot of ways, with the particular school I'm teaching at and the particular colleagues I've been teaching with for the last decade. So that definitely influences the filmmaking. But it's influential in other ways, as far as working in a small classroom with students who're also studying film history and getting turned on to certain periods of film for the first time and seeing films projected. It's a more avant-garde program and I'm the more narrative formalist in the mix.
I was recently reading interviews with Věra Chytilová and Pedro Costa where they expressed their frustration with young people for not being interested in political matters and that young filmmakers now lack a certain amount of anger. Have you found similar traits in your students?
Yes. The anger isn't there [laughs]. The class did ask me once, "What motivates you?" And I said, "Anger." And they were like, "Anger at what? What do you mean?" One kid literally said: "Well, at least you had AIDS." And I was, like, "Wow. Our generation had AIDS. Lucky for us, but you have plenty of shit too." I think the fact that this is a generation that's friends with their parents makes a huge difference. You don't have that 20-year-old angst where you wrap up all of your political ideas and, if you do what I did, target them at your parents. [laughs] Or that thing of wanting to flee where you came from and discover something on your own. I don't think that's a burning desire anymore. I did a whole class on working off your anger and none of my students knew what I was talking about. But teaching film production, you do have a feeling, especially with narrative, of battling against YouTube. I often ask, "Why is that camera being handheld beside the fact that it's convenient?" Just trying to make filmmaking something other than following the dialogue…I'm trying to talk to them about the frame, how people move through the frame, sound design. They're not allowed to use dialogue until the end of the semester. So, it's hard to sum up a generation, but I haven't asked if they're going to vote because I don't want to know.
How do you modulate your own sense of anger while writing a script or shooting a film? How do you make it into something that can be honed and expressed in a way that's then accessible, I suppose, to an audience that you're trying to speak to?
Self-medicating [laughs]. No, not really. You know, it's taken many decades to wear some of it off. I'm not so angry anymore. More now I feel really grateful. When I grew up in Miami and was interested in art, I felt frustrated. I grew up around a bunch of cops and I wanted to be around artists. I was mad when I thought things were happening in other places that I couldn't get to. But then if you're a woman and you want to make films…I don't show the pie chart to my students of what slice of the pie is open to women or what slice of the pie is open to various ethnicities or races because I feel like they might just go take a nap. That would probably get them mad, if they could see the pie of what they were in for. But feeling like it wasn't an inclusive world was enough for me. At the same time, I've had very generous friends and a lot of support from other filmmakers. I've had a really productive decade, so it's hard for me to complain about anything at this point, though I can always manage.
But character anger finds its way into Certain Women, particularly through Jared Harris's character, Fuller, who's verging on an unhinged response to a society that he feels slighted by. It must be difficult at times to locate empathy with a certain character and their chosen response to the world. How do you work through that complex arrangement of emotions?
Fuller is in his mid-to-late 50s and he suddenly realizes that there's injustice and the system isn't working for him. And he's taking it so personally and he just can't believe it. He's so frustrated and mad about it. He's having his meltdown in a car with a woman [Laura Dern] who's a lawyer. When you're a woman, you find out when you're 20 that the system's not going to work. As soon as you get your first job, you realize you're not going to make as much as the less qualified dude. You're not going to wait until you're in your 50s to find out the system doesn't work for you. Same with the rancher character [Lily Gladstone], the Native American woman, she just sort of takes her knocks on the chin. She doesn't have this anticipation of things working out her way. On the other hand, Fuller's been knocked in the head and he has an injury. I can feel some empathy for him because everybody's felt up against it before and trapped. When Jared Harris is pulling on that seatbelt in the car—that's his whole thing right there. It happened, and Jared worked with it, and I'm just like, "Oh yeah, his whole struggle's right there in that seatbelt. Nothing's working for him." So yeah, I can find empathy with all of them.
The stories in the film remind me of a statement Luchino Visconti made about Rocco and His Brothers. When asked about one of the character's turn to violence, Visconti said that we must always blame the system for the conditions of individuals and their actions, not the individuals themselves. Do you agree with that assessment regarding Certain Women when it comes to your characters' individual responsibility for their actions?
I think we all play our parts. One question that seems to come up over and over again in all my movies is: What is our relationship to each other? This also comes up in Maile [Malloy] and John Raymond's writing. Questions about community. Do you want to live in an each man for himself world or a world where you can bump into a stranger and give the benefit of the doubt to someone you don't know? Are we in this all together or are we just supposed to make our way, keep blinders on, and not care about the person standing next to us? I think those questions about community keep coming up over and over again in these films because they're seeded in the stories that the scripts are coming from. And, I think those are interesting questions.

Around 2 pm, Randy Bradley, chapter president, called the meeting to order. I gave the treasurer's report and the membership report. We currently have $1,574. 03 in the treasury and 31 dues-paying members.
Public Affairs Committee chairman, Ron McDaniel, spoke about HB 1001. Bill Dusenberry said he would like to invite area school superintendents to speak to us on the topic of the tyranny of the majority. He said he would have a letter published soon in the Tulsa World. Bill said that soon the Tulsa CoR would have something up on its website regarding writing to area state senators and representatives in hopes of getting them on the record regarding issues of interest to us. One such issue is the question of whether or not a hospital has the right to refuse medical service to patients based upon religion objections.
Marilyn Clarke read an excerpt from 36 Arguments for the Existence of God: A Work of Fiction by Rebecca Newberger Goldstein. Goldstein was featured in the May/June 2010 issue of The Humanist magazine.
Today's meeting was marked by a sense of hurriedness in that we had two hours to talk about four hours of business. The items on the last half of the agenda received short shrift. We never got around to New Business, of which I had two items.
There are two things we could do to resolve this problem: (1) hold two membershp meetings a month, or (2) let the Board wrangle over the minutia and present a recommendation to the membership which could then be voted up of down.
We might want to add another item to the agenda: communications. This would be the reporting of communications to the chapter.

New Year Resolutions to Improve Emotional Health
The goal of New Year's resolutions is to improve a person's quality of life, yet, strikingly they often ignore the one factor that determines our quality of life more than any other: our basic emotional health.[1] Instead, the majority of the resolutions made are related to diet and physical health.1 The most common are to lose weight, join a gym, quit smoking, and cut back on drinking.1 However, they are also the ones least likely to be completed.1
The second most common category of resolutions are related to our leisure time, or lack thereof, stating we wish to read more, go on a vacation, or work fewer hours.1 Then, there is the home improvement category such as cleaning the attic, the garage, or organizing and remodeling.1
Feeling lonely, being prone to brooding and worrying, having low self-esteem, being burdened by unresolved guilt, having poor relationships, and feeling demoralized are all issues that should be focused on instead.1 With our basic emotional health needs on the back burner, dieting, quitting smoking, cutting back on drinking, working less, and fixing up the home does little to actually improve our quality of life.1 Therefore, New Year resolutions often have little impact on our long-term quality of life, as they do little to alleviate emotional and psychological suffering.1
We usually neglect our emotional and psychological health when making our resolutions because we do not know how to quite go about pursuing her goals.1 It is easier to find a gym, plan a vacation, and buy organizational shelving.1 Making a resolution to address and improve our emotional health seems daunting in comparison; however, it shouldn't be.1
These seven resolutions will improve your emotional health (Don't try them all at once, though!):1
- Resolve to Improve Your Self-Esteem.
- Resolve to Rid Yourself of Preoccupations and Worrying.
- Resolve to Heal Emotional Pain.
- Resolve to Emerge from Loneliness.
- Resolve to Improve Your Relationships.
- Resolve to Shed the Burden of Guilt.
- Resolve to Learn to Failure.
These resolutions will improve your quality of life tremendously.1 Then, little improvements in physical health are easier to tackle.1 Have a happy and emotionally healthy New Year!

The title is probably confusing, but here is what I am trying to do and failing miserably at:
I want to display all the items from my db table named 'inventory'.
Then, a user would select one item by clicking a 'Add to cart' image button.
When the button is clicked, the form is submitted to "addtocart.php" for processing the item selected and gets directed back to the inventory page.
Now that you know what i'm trying to do, here is where I am stuck:
I have all the items displayed in a table.
The query is "Select * from pantry", and then I display it like this:
while($pantry = mysql_fetch_assoc($sql))
echo "
" . $pantry . "	" . $pantry . "<input type=hidden name=item value='".$pantry."'><input type=image class=addcart>
";
so far, so good, it displays each item and the add to cart submit button.
The problem is, when it gets processed by "addtocart.php", it only recognizes the very last item displayed. What I mean is, if I add item A to my cart and hit submit, "addtocart.php" will add item Z to the database. Item Z is the very last item that is displayed on the page, and is what gets inserted to the db no matter what item I actually selected.
I guess the problem is in my while loop some where. The purpose of the hidden input is supposed to be to assign the item's name to the form variable, but as I said, each item is not getting assigned their own unique name, they are all assigned "item Z"!
What am I doing wrong?

Finally posting a family pic, taken in our backyard. This was just a quick, unplanned shot. Even though I don't like it of me, I'm trying to include myself in more of our pictures. I should have tried a bit of flash to light up our eyes a little. Oh well! The evening light was nice.

Hungary at the head of the EU
Hungary has taken on the European Union presidency for the first time since it joined in 2004. Its priorities include stabilising the European economy, EU expansion, energy and the integration of Roma people.
The Hungarian presidency begins at a time when economic recovery is still uneven and yet to be consolidated within the Union. In response to the problems in the euro area, EU countries have agreed to modify the Lisbon Treaty to make permanent the financial stabilisation mechanism set up to help Greece and Ireland. One of the new presidency's objectives is to move forward with negotiations on this.
It also intends to take further steps towards coordinating the economic policies of EU countries. This will include launching the 'European semester', a six-month period during which each country's draft budget will be reviewed by the EU to detect potential imbalances.
In the social sphere, Hungary will work to develop a real EU strategy to promote the integration of Roma people. Their standard of living could be improved by using EU funds more efficiently.
One of the highlights of the Hungarian presidency will be the energy summit. A primary objective will be to ensure that EU countries' electricity and gas networks are interconnected in order to reduce the EU's dependence on non-EU countries, especially for its gas supply.
Hungary also hopes to strengthen EU relations with Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Moldova, Ukraine and Belarus. It will host these countries for the second Eastern Partnership summit in May.
Finally, Hungary will actively support the EU expansion process, particularly as regards Croatia. Croatia has been a candidate since 2004, and is entering the final phase of its accession negotiations. PM & Picture © European Commission

Thanks Jason,
That sorted the detail page but not the cart where the quantity field still has white text,
AND (Sorry)
Just noticed that the text in the categories box is also white and can't be seen.
If you go to www.weavingmachinery.co.uk, then select Drills from the products you will see what I mean.
Is this a quick fix also?

The average U.S. citizen drinks two to four cups of coffee a day, that translates to over 50 percent of Americans who want to satisfy their caffeine fix. All in all, the International Coffee Organization estimates the daily world consumption at more than 1.5 million cups!
Several debates and studies in the past have been discussing both sides of the coffee conundrum. Is coffee good or bad for your health? Allow me to share with you my two cents on the matter.
Let me start by sharing the advantages of drinking a cup of coffee:
- Coffee is the world's best known source for caffeine, a naturally occurring plant compound known for its stimulant properties. If you're feeling a bout of tiredness or loss of concentration, caffeine can fix that by stimulating your nervous system. I'm pretty sure you know this very well, judging from the fact that coffee breaks are an essential part of many peoples work routine.
- If you are diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes or part of a family with high diabetes risk factors, then moderate coffee use might help you lower the negative probability. A study conducted in 2010 by Japanese scientists confirmed the decreased diabetes risk as a result of coffee intake.
- Perhaps due to its ability to perk the body up, coffee has been studied to lower depressive stages by 20 percent when taken in moderation.
Alas, all good things have their respective dark sides, and so does coffee. Here are a some health disadvantages to hailing coffee as a wonder food:
- The bitter drink comes from coffee beans, which are loaded with natural acids that may affect the acidity of your stomach. That is why coffee is not recommended for people diagnosed with ulcers, because a highly acidic stomach lining is susceptible to attack by the ulcer-causing bacteria H. pylori.
- Caffeine has been studied to cause an increase in blood pressure and abnormal heart palpitations. Any irregular cardiovascular contractions are never a good sign, so doctors advise those diagnosed with goiter and irregular heartbeats against coffee drinking.
- When you consume caffeine, it starts initiating uncontrolled neuron firing in your brain, according to Stephen Cherniske in his book, Caffeine Blues. This excess neuron activity triggers your pituitary gland to secrete a hormone that tells your adrenal glands to produce adrenalin.Adrenalin is the source of our "fight-or-flight" response, which enabled our prehistoric ancestors to escape from saber-toothed tigers and other predators.
By stimulating your adrenal glands to produce adrenalin, caffeine puts your body in this "fight-or-flight" state, which is useless while you're just sitting at your desk. When this adrenal high wears off later, you feel the drop in terms of fatigue, irritability, headache or confusion. At this point, you may reach for another "hit" of caffeine, followed by another, and another and maybe even one more.
If you constantly keep your body on a caffeine high, you're constantly keeping your body in "flight-or-flight" mode. Cherniske explains your body's "perspective" of this constant state: "Imagine you lived in a country that was always under threat of attack. No matter where you went, there was a perpetual state of alert. Not only that, but your defenses were constantly being depleted and weakened. Does that sound stressful? Caffeine produces the same effect on your body, like fighting a war on multiple fronts at the same time."
Cherniske calls your body's constant state of alert "caffeinism," which is characterized by fatigue, anxiety, mood swings, sleep disturbance, irritability and depression. After prolonged "caffeinism," your body enters a state of adrenal exhaustion.
Ralph T. Golan, ND, describes this unfortunate state in his book, Herbal Defense: "Caffeine forces your glands to secrete when they don't have much left to give, and they have to keep digging deeper and deeper, making you more and more tired over time. And over the years, it takes more and more coffee to get the same result. Some people reach the point of drinking half a dozen or more cups of coffee to get the same result and it's barely keeping them awake. That's severe adrenal depletion."
In other words, caffeine affects your body just like any drug. You start taking it slowly, but as your body develops a tolerance to it, you need more and more to feel the same effects. Eventually, your body reaches a point where it can't be without it; otherwise, you will start to experience withdrawal symptoms.
So there you have it. Benefits and Side Effects of coffee.
As with everything else in life, coffee is something that should be used sparingly or in moderation, otherwise the disadvantages soon outweigh the advantages.

A Partner
Day 9
Prompt from Think Kit by SmallBox: What did you do this year when things got hectic? How did you unwind?
I have the utmost respect for single parents. I cannot imagine raising kiddos on my own. When things get hectic, I turn to my partner, and I will never have sufficient words to express how much he means to me. I am a worrier, an over thinker, a stress ball. But seeing my husband, hearing his voice, calms me, centers me, makes me a better person.
1 comment:
I love your blog! I'm so happy you have found a great partner. It's easy to forget to tell the people you love the most exactly how you feel about them. This post reminded me to take the time to let my husband know how much I appreciate him. Hopefully, we can all get together sometime and hang.ReplyDelete

Nanjing OTS Racking Equipment Co.,Ltd
Add:Guli industry zone, Jiangning district, Nanjing City, Jiangsu Province, China
The steel structure platform is also called the working platform. Modern steel structure platform has various forms and functions. The most important feature of the structure is the fully assembled structure, flexible design, widely used in modern storage. The engineering structure made of steel is usually composed of beams, columns and plates made of steel and steel plates, etc. connecting parts with welds, screws or rivets.
According to the requirements of the use can be divided into indoor and room platform, bearing static load and dynamic load platform, production auxiliary platform, as well as medium and heavy operation platform.
Depending on the way the support is handled, the platform structure can be divided into:
For a platform with large dynamic load or heavy equipment, it is advisable to design the pillar of the plant and support it directly on the independent column.
Safety Maintenance of steel platform
1. The steel platform shall be provided with a limited licence.
2, the use of the steel platform and the upper pull node must be located in the building, and not set in the scaffold and other construction facilities, support system shall not be connected with the scaffold.
3. The concrete beam slab used in the steel platform should be buried and connected with the bolts of the platform.
4. The horizontal angle between the wire rope and the platform should be 45 degrees to 60 degrees.
5. The beam-column of the upper tensile junction of the steel platform is fulfilled to calculate the tensile strength to ensure the safety of the building and platform.
6, steel platform should use clasp, should not make hook directly hook hanging platform rings.
7, steel platform installation, wire rope should be used for special hooks to hang, the other way when the card buckle should not be less than 3, the building sharp corners of the mouth around the wire rope should be padded, steel platform outside the mouth should be slightly above the inside.
8, the steel platform on both sides must be fixed as if the railings and hang a mesh safety net.
Modern steel structure platform has various forms and functions. Its structure is characterized by a fully assembled structure, flexible design, according to different site conditions to design and manufacture in accordance with the requirements of the site, the use of functional requirements and to meet the logistics requirements of the steel platform. It is widely used in modern storage.
Today's social land becomes more and more precious, more scarce, how to place in the limited space as many goods as possible, is a problem many businesses consider. With the development of the Times, the use of steel has been very common, steel production-oriented structure, is one of the most important structural types. Steel structure with its own characteristics, will be the world.
First, the steel is characterized by its own high strength, light weight, stiffness, it is used to build large-span and ultra-high, super heavy buildings are particularly suitable;
Secondly, the material homogeneity and isotropy of steel structure are ideal elastomer, which is the basic assumption of general engineering mechanics, and is the ideal building material for this few.
Third, its material plasticity, toughness is good, can have the big deformation, therefore can withstand the dynamic load very well.
Its four, construction period is short, a 300 square meters of construction, only need five people, 30 working days, can from construction to decorate in a short period of one months to do. Save cost, save time, Thrifty Labor!
Its five, the steel structure building's industrialization degree is high, the mechanization degree is high, may carry on the specialized production, enhances the work efficiency, reduces the construction difficulty. and the current high speed energy-saving society is very consistent.
Its six, the shortcoming is the fire resistance and the decay resistance is poor.
The steel structure is mainly used for the load-bearing skeleton of heavy-duty workshop, the structure of the powerhouse, the structure of the plate and shell, the tower and the mast structure, the bridge and the storehouse, the high-rise and super high-rise buildings.
