Today's featured quilt is this beauty brought to you by Rossie Hutchinson and the Mid Mod Bee.
Tell us about your quilt:
"This quilt was made by members of the Mid Mod Quilt Bee, a bee that Cheryl Arkison and I started after a funny exchange in blog comments about mid-century design. I call this quilt 'The Kelp Quilt," but I realize the shapes no longer resemble kelp very closely. I guess that's what happens when you take a piece of inspiration and run with it! The kelp is a recurring design in mid-century design. I hand-dyed the red/orange fabrics–a method I plan on covering shortly on my blog. My instructions to the bee included the following picture and the following text:
'This is going to be a twin-size bed quilt. I'd like everyone to please make a 9″ tall, 65″ wide strip. As you can see in the picture, I would like your kelp shapes to be in the center of the strip height-wise (don't stress, just aim for the center, okay?) Try to keep the plants less than 4″ tall and the stems no more than 1.25″ tall.
Anything goes as far as how many plants you'd like to put in your strip, how long the plants are, and where you position them in the strip width-wise. I love subtle wonk, but nothing crazy or forced.'"
Tell us about your bee experiences.
"I have been lucky in that I've ended up in bees where I've been asked to work improvisationally. I don't like to follow patterns.
What makes it worth it to me is the pooled inspiration and interpretation and ideas. I love this quilt and all the blocks that I received. It's so much fun to see what people did and how the different styles play off of each other."
Based on her bee experiences, Rossie has some good tips to remember if you plan to join a bee:
1. Send more fabric than you think your bee mates will need. Seams eat up fabric and it's frustrating to not have enough fabric to make your members something they will love.
2. Reserve some fabric so that you can add to your quilt if you need or want to.
3. Follow-thru on your commitment. When you join a bee you're making a commitment to follow the rules and timeline of your bee. When you send out fabric, you want something in return.
4. Life happens, and if you can't continue, let your members know. They will understand.
Tell us about you as a quilter.
I'm an unworried, unhurried, improv machine.

The state would pay for school employees to learn to carry a gun on the job under a proposal set for consideration at the Capitol.
The Senate Education Committee has scheduled testimony on the measure at a hearing Tuesday morning.
The bill by Houston Republican Sen. Dan Patrick would apply to charter schools and public school districts that do not already have armed security guards. It would require the state Department of Public Safety to provide firearms training for two employees per campus.
The latest news from around North Texas.
Several proposals to extend the reach of guns in schools have gained traction in the legislature, which convened a month after twenty schoolchildren were killed in a mass shooting in Connecticut.
The National Rifle Association has called for an armed guard in every school in America.

Mahavir Sterling silver and gemstone jewelry
"I am especially proud of my Jaipur line, which features gemstones inlaid upon unique designs that stylistically represent my beloved hometown."
"I studied commerce, but ever since I was a child, I have always been interested in creating new things. This creative instinct is what has helped me come this far. Designing jewelry and learning about gemstones has been my passion from a young age. What began as a hobby eventually became my vocation.
"Feeling confident enough to venture out on my own, I started my own workshop, specializing in gemstones. It was a tough job initially, but after soon receiving accolades for my work, it became smooth sailing. Later, I launched my own jewelry collections, and I have been doing so ever since.
"I design all my jewelry, and I thoroughly enjoy my work. My workshop is set up in such a way that I can work on handcrafted designs and do casting as well.
"My designs are traditional and contemporary. I am especially proud of my Jaipur line, which features gemstones inlaid upon unique designs that stylistically represent my beloved hometown. In addition, I've continued my work with semi-precious stones, which I cut and facet at the workshop. At this point in my career, I spend most of my time designing, and several artisans here help me transform my ideas into reality.
"I believe designing jewelry is one of the most creative art forms. One can design an endless amount of jewelry. Each new creation inspires me to create more.
"I love the way Novica works to promote artisans from around the world. It gives me great pleasure to be associated with them. I always try to provide customers with my very best, and I believe in establishing long-term relationships with customers. Kindly let us know your views about our designs. Your valuable comments about our work are highly appreciated."

BRUSSELS (Reuters) - The European Union wants to exclude much of the utility sector from a prospective EU-U.S. free trade agreement in order to protect government controlled infrastructure, the latest draft of the EU's mandate for the negotiations showed on Tuesday.
Unlike in the United States, many national European electricity grids and power generators are state controlled, and governments fear that a deal supporting the free flow of U.S. companies and money into the sector would erode their influence over assets seen as vital to national infrastructure.
"The high quality of the EU's public utilities should be preserved," said the draft, seen by Reuters, which sought in particular to exclude "services supplied in exercise of government authorities."
An EU official familiar with the documents said the document's language was intended to ensure member states were able to regulate utilities and maintain their ability to control investment in these sectors.
Another EU source confirmed this, saying the idea was to prevent member states from having to open access to investment in their electrical grid or water supply.
EU trade chief Karel De Gucht and British Prime Minister David Cameron last week separately called for EU member states not to introduce exclusions and carve-outs into the 27-member bloc's negotiating mandate.
The latest draft follows talks with member states after the European Commission proposed a negotiating mandate in March.
The United States and the European Union aim to start negotiating a transatlantic free trade pact by the end of June. The talks are expected to take two years, and would embrace half of world economic output and a third of all trade.
The Commission has said that the deal could add 0.5 percent to the EU economy and 0.4 percent to the U.S. economy by 2027, according to the European Commission.
Some EU member states are also concerned that a procedure included in the mandate to allow for resolving disputes between investors and states.
While such dispute mechanisms are increasingly common in free trade agreements, some EU diplomats say they are not necessary for two parties with strong legal systems already. EU countries have worried it could result in excessive lawsuits challenging national regulations.
The updated draft includes language designed to calm such fears.
"Investor-to-state dispute settlement mechanism should contain safeguards against frivolous claims," the draft said.
"The inclusion of investment protection and investor-to-state dispute settlement will depend on whether a satisfactory solution meeting EU interests... is achieved."
Campaigners in the United States and the European Union are concerned that the dispute mechanism would open EU members to lawsuits from firms seeking to weaken environmental and public health provisions. Campaigners also say the mere threat of a dispute could force states to give in to business.
"You could make a case for investor-to-state dispute settlement in judicial systems that lack judicial independence, where you have corruption and massive delays of court cases, but I think this is a very difficult case to make in the EU and the U.S.," said trade specialist Pia Eberhardt, a researcher for Brussels-based watchdog Corporate Europe Observatory.
"The experience that companies have, that this tool does actually work in weakening or preventing legislation, will trigger a number of frivolous claims, and I don't think any safeguards in the treaty language will prevent that as long as you have the legal mechanism."

Did you love the naan? Was this your first try? Are you making it again? Let us know!
22 thoughts on "Tuesday Chatter"
This was my first time making this particular recipe and I loved the scallions and cumin. Almost made it a second time today, but I ran out of time. Definitely a keeper!
Definitely a keeper for me, too.
I loved them – original – or "with that extra" that I've added to them!
I made mine with Butter Chicken. The naan turned out so well, definitely a repeat recipe! I've never had naan before, I'll be curious to try it at a restaurant or something.
I got my weeks wrong, I totally thought this recipe was next week, so I will be making these tomorrow and posting late! They look delicious and can't wait!
Me too! I'm hoping to get it made tonight.
I forgot to knead the dough at all and it was still so good that I will make it again and purposely not knead it! LOVED it that much.
Loved the recipe! It was easy and fast. Will make it again and use some of the toppings others are posting about.
Yes, I loved this naan!
Yes, this was the first time I made it!
Yes, I will definitely be making this again!
Wonderful selection!!!
My entire family enjoyed it very much!
This was also my first time making this flatbread. It was pretty easy. I would do this again. We all loved it maybe too much!! Wasn't sure what to make to eat with it but then realized I could just eat it….yum.
They turned out great and were surprisingly delicious. I sampled a bit of the dough before baking and I wasn't impressed at all – the cumin, salt, and scallion topping made all the difference.
if only i could have posted this on time! i made the bread, and will make it again but i find that it needs less kneading. i purchase freshly baked naan near my home and while it is chewy, it isn't tough. the 10 minutes of kneading called for were just too much if you ask me.
Definetly a keeper recipe for me. It's so easy and adaptable. I made this twice. The first time I added about a cup more of flour than was indicated in the recipe. The second time I tried mixing it longer in the bowl and was able to add less flour. Maybe it had something to do with the humidity in the air? Either way, I really enjoyed the results.

I've been a HUGE fan of Motorola since the dawn of time. I'm putting that out there because I've owned or used as a function of the work I do almost every Motorola cellular device geared toward a consumer. (brick phone anyone?)
Motorola has some terrific hardware in their cellular devices, and it should be no surprise to any of you in the know as they invented the cell phone on April 3rd, 1973. A research exec named Martin Cooper was the employee that did the dirty work 🙂
The Verizon Wireless Motorola Droid 3 is almost perfect. The Motorola Droid 1 and 2 were neat, but I always had an issue with the fact that it didn't have a line of number keys at the top. It was a major drawback as all my passwords have numbers and letters and it became complicated to login in to anything useful using the Motorola Droid 1 and 2. This is a problem of the past! They did it! They added a full line of numbers and that makes this phone an almost perfect combination of touch screen and hardware keyboard. I love it.
I have to say ALMOST perfect because there is two things missing… 4G LTE and No MicroSD Card. The card is I'm sorry just plain cheap, with phones like the Thunderbolt coming with 32GB cards, I would hope to see at least a 16GB card in the box, and 4G is a basic staple if you are a Verizon Wireless user because at this point you are used to bragging about your 4G LTE download speeds and making fun of your friends with the slow 4G from T-Mobile, AT&T or Sprint (if they can even get coverage).
Let us get down to brass tacks: Hardware.
- 4-inch qHD (960×540) Pentile display
- Five-row physical QWERTY keyboard
- Global radio (GSM and CDMA)
- WiFi 802.11b/g/n
- Bluetooth 2.1
- 1GHz dual-core TI OMAP4430 processor
- PowerVR SGX540 GPU
- NO included SD card
- 1540mAh battery
- 8MP rear camera w/ 1080p video / VGA front-facing camera
- Android 2.3 with MOTOBLUR (OK, "Motorola Applications layer")
- microUSB port
- microHDMI port
- Dimensions: 4.90″ x 2.50″ x 0.50″
- Weight: 169g (6oz)
Notable changes here are the addition of the number row on the keyboard, a front facing camera for video conferencing (although without 4G LTE it's going to be choppy unless you are on WiFi), Android 2.3 (Gingerbread), Global Radio (GSM slot for a SIM Card), PowerVR SGX540 GPU and one of the new Dual-Core TI OMAP4430 Processors clocked at 1GHz.
All in all the Verizon Wireless Motorola Droid 3 is a really great phone. While it does lack the 4G LTE radio, and does not come with a MicroSD card it really packs a lot of rich features and functionality. It is by far the best phone on the market with a hardware keyboard.
[review title="Pros and Cons" pros="Motoblur, Very Comfy Keyboard, Performance, Global Radio, Gingerbread, Sleek Look, New Forward Facing Camera" cons="Quite a bit of bloatware which doesn't uninstall, No 4G LTE, No MicroSD Card included." score=85 verdict="All in all the Verizon Wireless Motorola Droid 3 is a really great phone. While it does lack the 4G LTE radio, and does not come with a MicroSD card it really packs a lot of rich features and functionality. It is by far the best phone on the market with a hardware keyboard."]

A Broncos running game that had diminished into a complement to quarterback Peyton Manning will now be operating with complementary running backs.
Broncos tailback Willis McGahee is expected to miss the final six games of the regular season and could be out in the early portion of the postseason after an MRI exam Monday revealed a torn medial collateral ligament and a compression fracture in his right knee.
Broncos coach John Fox said it could have been worse: McGahee's knee won't require surgery to repair, at least not now. The team will not put him on season-ending injured reserve, which means the Broncos hope to have him back by the playoffs, provided they get that far.
"He's a fast healer. He's a tough, competitive guy," Fox said. "A lot of times, your veteran guys are that way."
McGahee has been the Broncos' leading rusher the past two seasons. He rushed for 1,199 yards last season, and even though he turned 31 last month, he had 731 yards rushing through 10 games this season (on pace for 1,170 yards).
He suffered the injury early in the second quarter Sunday when San Diego cornerback Quintin Jammer struck him in the knee with his helmet. Jammer also was injured on the play.
With McGahee down, Ronnie Hillman, Lance Ball and Knowshon Moreno will share the tailback role, starting with the Broncos' next game Sunday against the Kansas City Chiefs at Arrowhead Stadium.
"It feels good to be back, but you hate to see a teammate go down with an injury," said Moreno, who was inactive in the past eight games. "That really hurts. But at the same time, we have a lot of capable guys in the backfield that can get the job done for this team also."
The Broncos also could promote Jeremiah Johnson from their practice squad, and will work out Steve Slaton, who played three games for the Miami Dolphins last season.
With a 7-3 record and virtually a four-game lead in the AFC West with six games remaining, McGahee's injury doesn't figure to prevent the Broncos from hosting a home playoff game. The Broncos' remaining schedule includes two games against 1-9 Kansas City, a road game at 3-7 Oakland and a home game against 2-8 Cleveland.
McGahee or no McGahee, the Broncos are in decent shape regarding the AFC West. Moreover, the Broncos' running game wasn't exactly the 1972 Miami Dolphins, anyway. The Broncos are ranked 19th in the NFL with 105.3 rushing yards per game. Yet they are No. 3 in total offense (394.2 total yards per game) and No. 2 in scoring (30.1 points per game), clear evidence this offense is built around Manning's accurate right arm.
The Broncos' running game primarily is used, first, to give receivers Demaryius Thomas, Eric Decker and Brandon Stokley a break and let the offensive linemen attack the defensive front instead of absorbing a pass rush. It also sets up Manning's play-action passes and keeps the pass rushers honest.
Losing McGahee for the rest of the regular season hurts because he is their best tough-yardage rusher.
"He's a patient runner," Ball said. "Physical. Loves the zone type running. Just goes downhill. That's what you've got to do."
McGahee also had become good this year at protecting Manning against blitzes, and was an improved receiver: His 26 catches for 221 yards marked his best receiving production since 2007.
Although Hillman had been the No. 2 back to McGahee, it's possible Ball or Moreno will start because of their blocking skills, which would keep Hillman in his role as the 1A speed complement.
"It's not set in stone I'm going to be the starting running back this week," Hillman said. "If it does happen, it happens."

Bears See More RIM Weakness Into the Weekend
Short-term bearish options dominated trading activity on Research in Motion Ltd. (which is changing its corporate name to BlackBerry) after the company introduced its long-awaited BlackBerry 10 smartphone.
Trading in weekly RIM options that expire Friday accounted for about a third of all Research in Motion options trading volume Wednesday, as investors focused on "puts" that pay off should shares of the BlackBerry maker continue to slide over the next two days.
Put options grant the right to sell shares at a set price, and rise in value as the shares go lower but lose value if they go higher.
"The news is out, but now we are going to get a lot of comments from analysts over the next 48 hours," said William Lefkowitz, options strategist at vFinance Investments. "RIM is a company that can move a lot in a very short amount of time so these weekly options are active."

Eric Bruno is a Dr. Dobb's contributing editor. He can be contacted at www.ericbruno.com
Oracle's JavaOne Conference (jeez, it still doesn't roll off the tongue quite yet) is a busy place this year. To make it easier for you, we're consolidating Eric Bruno's blog reports here.
JavaFX 2.0
What do you call JavaFX without the scripting language and without JavaFX Mobile. Apparently Oracle calls it version 2.0?
Mark Reinhold Announces Java SE 7 Plan
Mark Reinhold proposed breaking JDK7 into two releases: JDK7-lite, and JDK8 to follow closely behind. This was described as "Plan B", with "Plan A" being Java SE 7 released with all of the features planned for JDK7. Mark later announced that Oracle will go with Plan B.
Java FX 2.0 Details
Oracle has just posted the roadmap for JavaFX 2.0. Also, you can hear the plans first-hand via the JavaOne "Future of Java" keynote taking place on the web.
JavaFX, Open Source, and Other Announcements
Thomas Kurian of Oracle announced that all of the JavaFX UI controls will be released to open-source when JavaFX 2.0 is release. Additionally, NetBeans will continue to be the premier Java IDE, with two releases already planned for 2011. And more.
JavaOne Slides: JavaFX Your Way
Here, you can find the slides from Jonathan Giles' and Stephen Chin's JavaOne presentation, "JavaFX Your Way," where they discuss the proposed changes to JavaFX. You'll see early examples of JavaFX programming with Java, Scala, Groovy, and JRuby.
More Info on JDK7
Leading up to JavaOne10, Mark Reinhold has written a recent blog that further solidifies what Java SE 7 will look like.

The term aids to navigation, or navaids, includes lighted and unlighted beacons, buoys, and ranges. A beacon is a stationary visual navaid such as a lighthouse or a small single-pile structure. Lighted beacons are often called lights, and unlighted beacons are known as daybeacons. All beacons also have a daymark identification of one sort or another.
Range lights usually have both a high intensity lighting system and dayboards, but you will often encounter only the dayboards. Lining up these striped marks is similar to lining up the sights on a rifle.
There are five basic buoy shapes: can, cone, sphere, pillar, and spar. Topmarks can be cone, spherical, cylinder, or X-shaped. Red and green lights are used to match the colors on lighted lateral marks while yellow is reserved for special marks. White lights are used on safe water aids with an occulting, isophase, a single long flash or Morse code A flashing sequence. Cans are cylindrically shaped, are usually colored green, and have odd numbers. The conical shaped buoys, usually called Nuns, are red and have even numbers. The numbers are lowest at the seaward end of the channel and increase moving upstream toward land. Often, you see a buoy with both a number and a letter such as "9A." This usually happens when an additional buoy has been inserted in the channel and the USCG doesn't want to change the numbering sequence. Any buoy may use just a letter for identification. The number or letter appearing on a navaid will be identified in quotation marks on the chart. If the buoy is lighted, the color of the light will usually be the same color as the buoy and will usually be a flashing light.
Red and green horizontally banded buoys are used at junctions in a channel to show the preferred channel or to mark obstructions that may be passed on either side. If you want to stay in the preferred channel, consider the buoy to be all the same color as the top band and position your boat accordingly; for example, if the top band is red, keep the buoy to your starboard coming in toward land, and you will take the preferred channel.
Remember, there are two major types of buoyage systems: the lateral system and the cardinal system. The lateral system is partially explained above and is best suited for well-defined channels and the general direction of buoyage. The US navaid system is a lateral system. The cardinal system is best suited for coasts with numerous isolated rocks, shoals, islands, and for dangers in the open sea. The cardinal system is explained in Bowditch and should be reviewed before venturing into waters where it is used.
Chart No. 1 is a book containing a key to chart symbols. It contains a listing of all chart symbols used by the National Ocean Service (NOS), the Defense Mapping Agency (DMA), the International Hydrographic Organization, and on foreign charts reproduced by DMAHTC. Subjects covered include general features of charts, topography, hydrography, and aids to navigation. There is also a complete index of abbreviations and an explanation of the IALA buoyage system.
On large scale charts, the legend elements of lighthouses and other navigation lights are shown in this order: Characteristic, Color, Period, Height, Range, and Designation. For example, Fl (2) R 10s 80m 19M "6" is a lateral mark with the number 6 on it, has group flashing lights that present two red flashes every 10 seconds, has a height of 80 meters (261 feet), and is visible for 19 nautical miles under normal conditions.
Reliability Wise sailors dont rely entirely on floating navaids. These are often displaced or destroyed by storms or are removed for repair. They are also occasionally re-numbered or changed by the USCG, and if you haven't updated your charts with the Local Notices to Mariners, you can become disorientated. When you are depending on a particular navaid for your position, and it isn't there, or the numbering is different, don't panic. Immediately determine your position using radar, loran, GPS, or by bearings from other identifiable landmarks before you take any action that could place you in harms way.
We will cover more of this aspect of navigation later on in the section on coastal navigation. See you here at SailNet.

Juul Andersen, Torben (København, 2005)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Liberalizations of international trade and improvements in communication and information technologies allow companies to organize around extensive multinational structures of cross-border sourcing networks. In a freely interacting market setting multinational enterprise is exposed to financial and economic risks that can be monitored within conventional reporting systems and managed through use of various derivative instruments. All the while, a dispersed multinational structure can be vulnerable to disruptions caused by changing economic conditions, competitive moves, and geopolitical developments as well as natural disasters and terrorist events that are difficult to forecast. Consequently, current risk management techniques span from conventional gap analyses and quantitative value-at-risk measures of market-related exposures to more qualitative assessments of competitive exposures and low-frequency high-impact disaster events based on scenario analyses. Hence, there is a need to consider risk management approaches that integrate relatively transparent financial exposures with the consequences of uncertain and hard-to-quantify event risks. This paper outlines the contours of such a strategic risk management framework incorporating conventional exposure measures and simulation techniques to assess vulnerability and responsiveness in a turbulent global setting.

Lasell College Ranked Among Best Colleges by U.S. News and World Report for 2011
September 29, 2010
Lasell College has been ranked as a "Best Regional College" and in the "Great Schools at Great Prices" category for 2011 by the national publication U.S. News and World Report.
The national publication ranked Lasell College 9th for the "Great Schools at Great Prices" category and 25th for "Best Regional College" - North.
In 1983, U.S. News and World Report began its annual rankings of American colleges and universities. Data is collected and tabulated on each participating school for up to 16 indicators of academic quality including peer review, student selectivity, faculty resources, retention. Then colleges are ranked in their category by their total weighted score.
For the Best Values rankings, only those schools ranked in, or near, the top half of their Best Colleges 2011 edition ranking categories-National Universities, National Liberal Arts, Regional Colleges, and Regional Universities-were considered. The Best Values rankings were based on these three variables: ratio of quality to price, percentage of all undergraduates receiving need-based scholarships or grants during the 2009-2010 academic year, and percentage of a school's 2009-2010 total costs (tuition, room and board, fees, books, and other expenses) covered by the 2009-2010 academic year average need-based scholarship or grant to undergraduates.

It was clearly a difficult night for New York State Education Commissioner Dr. John King and Chancellor Meryl Tisch.
The two sat alone at a table on the auditorium stage at Mineola High School on Nov. 13, listening as some 47 teachers, administrators and parents, many of them both school staff members and parents, spoke out about the state's rollout of the Common Core State Standards.
Not one of the 47 said they approved of the way the state has introduced the program to local school districts.
And many of King's answers to questions about the issues surrounding it — testing, privacy rights, teacher evaluation — were greeted with groans, jeers, laughs and shouts from the audience.
As part of an agreement to receive extra federal funding from the Race to the Top initiative, New York, like most states, has instituted an extensive testing regimen based on the Common Core Standards, a national initiative that aims to prepare students for college and careers by the time they graduate from high school. Part of the plan involves using student test scores to help evaluate teacher performance.
That has angered many teachers, who say they haven't had adequate time to prepare students for the new tests. At the same time, parents complain that their children are being tested too early and too often.
The forum in the 800-seat auditorium, which was sponsored and moderated by State Sen. Jack Martins, a Republican from Mineola, was invitation-only. Martins said he gave 50 tickets to each of the school districts in his senatorial district, and they in turn were given to school staff and administration. With each ticket came the right to ask a question. Questions had to be submitted in advance, and were reviewed by State Education Department officials. Martins was not allowed to see the questions in advance, his spokeswoman said.
Demonstrators from other school districts around the county, who did not have tickets, gathered outside the school. One of them was Michael Dolber, a teacher in the Bellmore-Merrick school district for more than 40 years and a union representative, who said that he and the others who joined him outside the building were concerned with education.
"Public education is a large issue," Dolber said. "There are problems with how the state is handling the Common Core rollout. There are problems with children with special needs that amounts to child abuse. Kids are important, and the state is trying to privatize education, to give it to the big corporations." That contention was a common thread in many of the testimonials given by those who asked questions of King and Tisch.
At a press conference in the school's band room before the forum began, Martins said that there are several bills in the hopper in the State Legislature that would slow down the Common Core rollout. "It is clear that there are real problems with the Common Core program," he said. "There are implications for special-needs students and for parents who want to ensure their children's privacy. There are problems with over-testing. We are not going to abandon three million students.
"We are not going to step back from providing a better education," Martins added. "We want to provide training for our teachers, and we want to give tests that actually test what kids have been taught. We agree with the state's PTA that we have to slow down and take a year to ensure that the roll-out is realistic and does what it is designed to do."
King, speaking to reporters, said he would not agree to slow the process. "Under the Common Core, students are getting the skills that they need for college and career," he said. "To the extent that people want to stop the Common Core, I would say to them that we're not going to do it. We're not going to stop. We are committed."

What's a great theme you've done for your child's birthday? Please share a link with a photo.
NiamhDaisy's Mad Scientist party was fantastic. It was Halloween so really easy for costumes and ghoulish party treats. Each child had a work station with safety goggles, stained apron ( red food colouring), on each tray they had a jug, mixing bowls, test tubes, pipettes etc etc. We set up about 4 experiments for examples neutralising vampire blood with ground garlic ( bicarbonate of soda mixed with vinegar & red food colouring). They then had free time & we provided lots of containers of flour, bicarb, vinegar, colour water etc .They were so engrossed in mixing & experimenting it was fantastic . The only way to get them to stop was by doing 'explosions' is mentos in cola! Lunch was served in individual plastic cauldrons which then doubled as part bags ( re filled as they made explosions).It was fantastic! There are photos and lots of other great party ideas on our blog www.daisyspartyideas.tumblr.com
What's a creative gift wrap idea? Please share a link to a blog post if you have one!
NiamhMy little girl made this wrapping paper using mini printing blocks we bought at a car boot ( yard) sale. She used black paint and the reverse side of some old technical drawings. They look so graphic, yet perfect for kids wrapping paper - top it off with a red ribbon - perfect ! See the photo on http://daisyspartyideas.tumblr.com/page/5
What's a great item to include in a birthday goodie bag? Please include a link to a photo if you have one.
NiamhMy kids really look forward to getting their party bags, however they are more interested in quantity over quality! They've had what I consider to be really lovely gifts however they are really looking for sweets, chocolates and something they can play with instantly ! We made these really easy marble pouches as an economic party bag present - they were a big hit ! I've posted photos & 'how to ' on http://daisyspartyideas.tumblr.com/
What's your family's favorite nostalgic, silly, or practical holiday tradition? (If there's an image that goes along with your tradition, please share a link.)
NiamhI made our Advent calendar over 10 years ago out of calico with little pouches for each of the 25 days. I think it's stood the test of time quite well ! I used to travel a lot more than I do now & could fill it with lots of bits & pieces that I gathered on my travels through the year. Since the kids have got older all they really want in it are sweets ( I'm sure that'll change in the years to come) so I fill it with 2 small packets of haribos or lollipops etc. We're not yet at the stage where they are taking it in turns..maybe next year ? The kids love it so much they've been asking since the beginning of November when the advent calendar is coming out. I love that it's part of our Christmas tradition now!
What fun activities can you do with your toddlers?
NiamhThe most consistent , fail safe activity for toddlers? Pouring ! Yes , that's right, pouring ! Take a tray or baking tray, a small jug (preferably plastic) or 2 and lots of different containers...cups, bowls, beakers etc etc. Make sure they wear an apron & you have paper towels at the ready! Place everything on the tray & fill the jugs with water . Show them how to pour the water into different containers & sit back & watch ! They LOVE it ! Give them a sponge to mop it up, they can squeeze the water back into the jugs. Just make sure they keep everything in the tray and you'll be able to relax !You can vary it by adding food colouring to the water. My kids started doing this at Montessori & they kept asking to do 'pouring' at home as well ! It helps their hand eye co-ordination,fine motor skills,understand concepts of place and direction, such as up, down, under, beside etc etc.But more than that they just love doing it, it's part copying doing something 'grown up' and part achieving something. They are in control of what they are doing. Pouring can easily keep them occupied from half an hour to an hour on a good day ! For a bit of fun after that try bubbles...a little bit of washing up liquid, water & a straw.Mix together & blow through the straw.... you'll get bubbles galore !
From Twister to "sardines in a can," we're always looking for indoor games that get our kids moving and burning off energy! Can you share a physical game your kids love that can be played inside?
NiamhA really easy game to play with all ages is "Simon Says".The aim of the game is to catch the kids out but we play it as a way to keep them occupied if we are delayed somewhere or to burn up energy on a rainy day or as a party game!The way to play it is as follows: -One person( usually the adult) is the caller. -The caller shouts instructions eg "Simon says dance gagnam style" "Simon says hop on one leg 50 times" - If the caller says "Simon says' then all players have to obey.If they do not say 'Simon Says' the player should NOT do anything! It's a really fast game & the kids get so excited that they concentrate on the instruction & forget about the 'Simon says' element. It's great fun catching them out! Here's some examples of instructions, if the kids are older it's great to keep changing the instructions quickly, if they are younger go a bit more gently! - Simon Says do 10 star jumps -Simon says balance on 1 leg for 20 seconds - Simon says clap your hands 5 times -Simon says sit down -STAND UP( if you do this quickly you might trick them!) - Simon says dance like a chimpanzee -Simon says bark like a dog -Simon says cluck like a chicken -Simon says lie down & go to sleep -GET UP you get the idea ! You can make it as physical as you like in short bursts which means it'll burn energy but not get out of hand! Enjoy !
Does your family have a special St. Patrick's Day tradition? Please also include a link to a photo, if you have one.
NiamhSt Patrick's Day is always a big deal in any Irish household. Pre-children our celebrations were great 'craic' now however things are much more family friendly! We still make it special feasting on fresh oysters & black velvet cocktails ( champagne & Guinness), brown soda bread & smoked salmon. The part the kids love though are the shamrock cookies! They vary every year,we have 3 different sized cookie cutters, we ice with the traditional green icing but this year we'll include pink just for the 'craic'!We make loads so the kids can take them into school with their bunch of fresh shamrocks pinned to their collar ! Happy St Patrick's Day ! I'm posting photo's on Paddy's day so plse come & have a look!
What's your favorite guilty pleasure snack? Please share a link to the item or, if homemade, to your recipe and photo.
NiamhI can half convince myself that this is kinda healthy because it's made with a whole banana but where Granny Molly's Easy-Peezy Banana Squeezy cake gets me is that I just can't stop at one!! Super quick & easy to make,I have half an eye to the fruit bowl and if a banana starts to turn black that's it we start baking!! To make them.. 4 oz unsalted butter 4 oz dark brown sugar 4 oz self raising flour 2 eggs, beaten half to a whole banana (depends on size!), mashed a big handful of raisins - or not if you're fussy! buttered and greaseproof-lined loaf tin 1. Cream the butter and sugar together 2. Add beaten eggs 3. Beat furiously with a wooden spoon the old-fashioned way!, for 3-4 minutes 4. Carefully add mashed banana + raisins. 5. Fold in flour. 6. It's now a gloopy unpromising-looking batter. Don't panic! 7. Bake at 180C for 20-30 mins until risen, golden and springy – a skewer will come out clean. Et voila! Delicious. It's somewhere between a cake and a pudding – cos of the squeezy banana. We scoffed it down with custard, warm from the oven

Ealier this month E! reported that the couple was rekindling the romance after having broken up in April.
Asked about her relationship with Meyer for Vogue's July issue, Perry is quoted saying she is still "madly in love" with Mayer.
"I was madly in love with him. I still am madly in love with him," she told the magazine. "All I can say about that relationship is that he's got a beautiful mind. "Beautiful mind, tortured soul. I do have to figure out why I am attracted to these broken birds."
According to E!, during Saturday's date sources say Perry made certain everyone around them knew they were a couple again.

World Series 2013: How Cardinals, Red Sox got here
SN'S 2013 ALL-STAR TEAMS: Ellsbury on AL squad | Molina, Carpenter in NL
BOSTON — The World Series begins on Wednesday night, and for fans of the 28 teams outside Boston and St. Louis, a long winter of wondering what went wrong already is under way.
But for the Red Sox and Cardinals, what went right? How did these two teams put together the kind of magical run that wins a pennant? As Red Sox pitcher Ryan Dempster said Tuesday, "Once you get to the playoffs, the separation is a lot smaller than it was during the regular season, and each round it just gets smaller and smaller. You're talking about two great teams that have fought hard all the way since spring training and worked hard to get to where we're at. So have the Cardinals. Those gaps get smaller and smaller, and it just comes down to executing more and more."
The Red Sox beat the Tigers in the American League Championship Series in six games. The Cardinals beat the Dodgers in the National League Championship Series in six games. Now they are in the World Series. What is the biggest reason for each team's success? They have their own views...
WORLD SERIES 2013: Tired story lines | SN picks | Odds | TV | #AskSpector
Dempster: "Execution. Execution of pitches from a pitcher's standpoint, execution of at-bats from hitters, playing on the defensive side of the ball. Ultimately, you can talk about all the different reasons, but it's the teams that execute the most and do it most consistently to win. We don't give the other team a lot of extra outs, and we do our hardest, battle our hardest, to make them try and get more outs than the 27 they're supposed to. I think that's the biggest difference that set us apart this year."
Shortstop Stephen Drew: "Everybody on this team, we've got good talent and we always come out to win. It started from the top and filtered down. Just the way the clubhouse is, the way the guys are going about their business, that's why we're here. Everybody pulls for each other. If one guy don't get it done, the next guy does, and that's been huge all year for us."
SN AWARDS: Boston's Farrell is Sporting News Manager of the Year
Outfielder Jacoby Ellsbury: "We have good players on our team. We have a good time. I think the fans can see that. We enjoy playing with one another. We enjoy just competing. I think that's the biggest thing, is through the course of the season, you have a lot of guys that just love playing the game. I know the fans can see that."
Outfielder Johnny Gomes: "The biggest reason we are here? Best record in the American League East, won two playoff meetings. To sum it up, I think this team has many ways to win. Pitching aspect, offense aspect, baserunning, defense. So I don't think I could really sum up the main reason."
Pitcher Franklin Morales: "Competing every day, being ready, preparation mentally and physically for this opportunity. The owners put the right players to do the best we can do together now."
First baseman Mike Napoli: "We play as one. Or do you mean like pitching and defense? We won ballgames all year. We haven't lost four games in a row all year. We're able to bounce back and keep going."

Second baseman Matt Carpenter: "There's a lot of reasons that we've made it this far, but I think first and foremost is that we've had a really good ability to keep going when adversity hits us, whether it's an injury or somebody getting sent down or sent up. We've continued to keep pushing forward and stay positive, and just compete every day."
Pitcher Sam Freeman: "We won the most games. We beat the Dodgers in the NLCS and the Pirates in the NLDS. We played solid baseball throughout the entire season."
Pitcher Joe Kelly: "We're talented. We've played really, really good baseball to get here. Everyone is pulling for one goal, including rookies who just got called up. The old guys and the young guys, there's a big gap, but we've all jelled together really quickly. I think when you have 25 guys on your roster, in September 40 guys, all pulling for one goal, it doesn't matter really what your age is."
MORE WORLD SERIES COVERAGE: St. Louis Post-Dispatch | Boston Globe | Boston Herald
Outfielder Jon Jay: "The biggest reason, I think starts in spring training. The front office and ownership did a great job of getting this team together, and we've really believed since day one, and even before spring training, guys would text each other in the offseason and say 'Hey, man, we've got a special team.' We played hard all year, and that started in spring training, focusing on fundamentals, and making sure every little thing is right. Pitching and defense, and then everything else takes care of itself."
Shortstop Pete Kozma: "We treat every day, try to treat every day really, the same. The next game is the biggest game of the year. We don't worry about games two days ahead of time, or the next game. We worry about winning the first game."
Pitcher Lance Lynn: "We've got a good team that's been together, the core has been together for a good bit, so we've got good team chemistry. We play the game the right way, do the small things, good defense, pitch pretty well, have good defense. You do that, you're going to win a lot of games."
Both teams talk about having a high talent level, the ability to fight through adversity, pitching and defense, run production, and a front office that smartly assembled a championship-caliber roster. And, as Gomes and Freeman noted, both teams are here because they have won two playoff series.
It's that last part that is the most important, really, because had the Dodgers and Tigers advanced to the World Series, they would be talking about a lot of the same themes. Like Dempster said, the separation is not that great. But here are Boston and St. Louis, deservedly so, having vanquished all in their path to get to the World Series. Four more wins to the ultimate goal.

On-air talent foibles often reside in the realm of unfortunately pronounced everyday words, but there are other times when they get caught stuffing their face with some ginormous, burger-y goodness while the cameras are rolling. But good for Tom Hart, rolling with it and even using the moment to teach TV watchers about the minor league etiquette behind paying for postgame meals. Besides, it's far from the most unsavory act we've ever seen in the ballpark stands.

Make the form sections visually distinct by setting the section name in bigger and bolder type, and consider including a contents list on the first page or screen to help people navigate their way through the form. Also make sure that you make good use of features like running headers and footers on every page to remind people what the form is, where they are, and what page number they are on.
In paper forms the specific sub-questions cannot be hidden from the user when they are not relevant to them - but in interactive forms this is relatively easy to do. Use progressive revealing as much as possible in your form design to shield your users from questions they do not need to see.

Google today announced a number of new features for Google+, including navigation and design changes. The result: a more "functional and flexible version of Google+," according to Google's blog post. More than 170 million people now have Google+ accounts, but what do people think of the update?
First things first… Back in January, Google made Google+ account creation mandatory when users signed up for other Google services. So the 170 million user figure likely includes those who have signed up for Gmail or YouTube, received their Google+ account, and never returned. On January 19th, Larry Page put the Google user headcount at 90 million.
In the past 3 months, an additional 80 million people have signed up for some type of Google service and been assigned a Google+ account as a result. We still patiently wait for actual engagement statistics, though we're not holding our breath.
The mandatory account creation move had followed hot on the heels of Google's Search Plus Your World launch and the integration of Google+ brand pages in primary organic search results. More recently, they rolled all of their services into one with the amalgamation of all privacy policies for all Google services.
All of these things are designed to move Google closer to their vision, according to VP Bradley Horowitz, of "changing this mode of interaction so that we actually get to know our users deeply."
CEO Larry Page hinted at the upcoming redesign in his 2012 Update from the CEO, released last week. "Creating a simpler, more intuitive experience across Google has been another important focus. I have always believed that technology should do the hard work—discovery, organization, communication—so users can do what makes them happiest: living and loving, not messing with annoying computers!" he wrote.
One small line in the CEO address hints at the revelation of actual engaged user numbers; Page wrote, "Well over 100 million users are active on Google+…" If he was, indeed, referring to active users, far more than half of all users with Google+ accounts are actually using them. Still, it would be helpful for Google to release an actual active user figure, with some definition of what "active" really means.
The Simpler, More Beautiful Google+
Of their redesign, Google says, "We think you'll find it easier to use and nicer to look at, but most importantly, it accelerates our efforts to create a simpler, more beautiful Google." So what's new?
Gone are the static navigation icons at the top, replaced by a dynamic ribbon of apps on the left of the screen. Users can reorder the apps, or hover over them to bring up options. Photos and videos are larger and full bleed. "We're aiming for an experience that fuses utility with beauty—one that inspires you to connect with others, and cherish the conversations that unfold," said Google.
There's a separate stream of "conversation cards," which Google claims will make it easier to join discussions. An "activity drawer" drops down below posts to show +1s and reshares.
"You know that feeling you get when a piece of art takes your breath away, or when a friend stops by with unexpected gifts?" asks the written announcement. "We want sharing to feel like that, every single time."
Hangouts have a new home, with a dynamic invitation list, quick access to every public and On Air hangout and a "rotating billboard" of popular hangouts and tips. Of these features, Google announced, "Google+ Hangouts uses live video to bring people together, and the results range from heartwarming to breathtaking to music-making."
Other new features include an Explore page showcasing activity around trending topics, a redesigned profile page, and an updated chat list. As the video above shows, it appears Google has taken a page right out of Facebook's book with one new feature – a new "Timeline"-inspired cover photo for profiles.
The new UI is being rolled out over the next few days to all users, so some may not be able to see the new features and design quite yet.
What Do Users Think of the Changes?

The city of Makati is the financial center of the Philippines and one of the major financial, commercial and economic hubs in Asia. It is one of the most populous metropolitan areas in the world, and provides an eclectic mix of holiday rentals - from luxurious homes to small holiday villas and rental condos on the outskirts of the city. Makati is well known for its highly cosmopolitan culture, and many expatriates live and work in the city. It is also a major cultural and entertainment hub in Metro Manila.
Makati is home to the Philippine stock exchange and the Makati Business Club. You will likely be able to see the tallest buildings in the Philippines, the PBCom Tower and the GT International Tower, from the window of your holiday rental. The Bank of the Philippine Islands (BPI), the country's oldest bank, has its headquarters in Makati. Walk from your rental apartment to the Ayala Museum, which is most noted for its series of dioramas depicting major events in Philippine history, from the Battle of Mactan to the People Power Revolution.
If you enjoy horseracing, there are two racetracks in Makati: the Santa Ana Racetrack, in the northern part of the city, and the San Lazaro Leisure Park in Carmona, Cavite. You can make easy arrangements from your holiday rental to enjoy a day at the races. To witness a chukka of the sport of kings, the Manila Polo Club provides lively entertainment. Or you can play a round of golf on an 18-hole golf course amid the lush greenery of the city.
The city's first-class shopping malls will be an easy commute from your holiday rental. Makati's three main department stores, SM Department Store Makati, Rustan's, and the Landmark, all offer great shopping. Greenbelt is another sophisticated and modern mall where you can load up on souvenirs to bring back to your holiday rental. It has dozens of cafés, upscale restaurants and high-end boutiques, and overlooks a beautifully landscaped green park.
Because of its proximity to the equator, the temperature range in Makati is very small, rarely going lower than 20°C or higher than 38°C. There are two seasons in the Philippines: a warm, dry climate and a tropical monsoon climate with oppressive humidity. So remember when you're booking your trip that an air-conditioned holiday rental is a must. You will be pleased by the wide availability of luxurious rental properties throughout this unique city.

Boston Engineering Corporation
|Proposal Information
|FY09.1-H-SB09.1-007-0001-CRPP - BIOSwimmer: In-Liquid Inspection System
|Topic Information
|H-SB09.1-007 - Autonomous (or alternative) In-Liquid Survey Vehicle
|Award/Contract Number
In support of the Department of Homeland Securitys continued efforts to lead the unified national effort to secure our nation, Boston Engineering has developed the BIOSwimmer UUV (Unmanned Underwater Vehicle). This technology, developed under SBIR (Phase I and Phase II), is focused on providing a solution to searching, inspecting, and operating in challenging and constricted underwater areas in order to support the pressing yet unique missions that act to prevent and deter terrorist attacks, ensure safe and secure borders, and support lawful immigration, all while not impeding the free flow of commerce. BIOSwimmer is a novel, biologically-inspired UUV that can rapidly provide actionable intelligence in many maritime applications. It is currently focused on port operations that look for contraband or other dangerous items on ship hulls. It has many advantages, including being able to scan a ship 80 percent faster than an ROV (Remotely Operated Vehicle), at 50 percent of the cost of a dive team, and with required training expected to be under 1 week for a port officer/user. We estimate that port security is enhanced by BIOSwimmers ability to inspect an additional 20 percent of a ship versus competitive Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs), scan three times the number of ships in a harbor in a given 8 hour shift vs. an ROV, and provide ease of use (such as launching in under 5 minutes from a location of convenience).

Organization's comprehensive report includes data on more than 60 books
San Diego, Calif. - May 6, 2012 – For the first time in its history, the Preeclampsia Foundation has issued an official list of Top 10 Pregnancy Guidebooks, a comprehensive report distilled from reviewing more than 60 books. The announcement was made at The Promise Walk for Preeclampsia™ in San Diego today since May has officially been designated Preeclampsia Awareness Month by San Diego Mayor Jerry Sanders to build awareness of preeclampsia, a life-threatening disorder of pregnancy.
"The Top 10 Pregnancy Guidebooks Report reviews most of the commercially available pregnancy guides on the market and ranks them based on whether they adequately provided much-needed information about preeclampsia and related hypertension disorders of pregnancy, which can be life-threatening for the mother and baby," explained Jennifer Carney, MA, author of the report. "In reviewing pregnancy books, our goal was to be able to lead women to sources of information that would be helpful to them should their pregnancy become complicated. This report also provides a 'roadmap' for publishers and authors either writing or updating their books."
To complete the report, books were evaluated using a set of criteria in five categories: Depth of Coverage, Placement of Coverage, Clarity and Accuracy of Information, Description of Symptoms, and Postpartum Concerns. Books were downgraded for out-of-date information, missing or inaccurate information and placement issues, including inaccurate or inadequate indexing.
"It's startling that up to one in 12 pregnancies is affected by preeclampsia and related hypertension disorders, which is very significant," explained Doug Woelkers, M.D., a board-certified OB/GYN at UCSD Medical Center and co-author of the report. "Research has shown that awareness and reporting of symptoms can improve outcomes, so it's important for expectant mothers to receive accurate prenatal information that's clear, accurate, timely and thorough – not to alarm them, but to equip them to recognize concerning symptoms, most of which may be confused with the hallmarks of normal pregnancy. A good pregnancy book should clearly explain the warning signs and associated risks."

1. The Pregnancy Bible: Your Complete Guide to Pregnancy and Early Parenthood by Joanne Stone, MD and Keith Eddleman, MD (2008)
2. Smart Mother's Guide to Better Pregnancy by Linda Burke-Galloway, MD (2008)
3. Your Pregnancy and Childbirth: Month to Month (5th Edition) American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (2010)

5. The Whole Pregnancy Handbook: An Obstetrician's Guide to Integrating Conventional and Alternative Medicine Before, During and After Pregnancy by Joel Evans, MD and Robin Aronson (2005)
6. Our Bodies, Ourselves: Pregnancy and Birth by Boston Women's Health Book Collective and Judy Norsigian (2008)
7. The Mommy Docs' Ultimate Guide to Pregnancy and Birth by Yvonne Bohn, MD, Elane Park, MD, Allison Hill, MD, and Melissa Jo Peltier (2011)
8. The Joy of Pregnancy by Tori Kropp (2008)
9. The Stress-Free Pregnancy Guide by Carol Livoti, MD (2008)
10. What to Expect When You're Expecting, 4th Edition by Heidi Murkoff and Sharon Mazel (2008)
The Preeclampsia Foundation issued the Top 10 Pregnancy Guidebooks announcement and report at the San Diego Promise Walk, which is one of 36 walks being held across the U.S. and Canada to raise awareness for preeclampsia.
