Health and Physical Education Lifestyles
Senior Year Experience
Writing Intensive Requirement
First Year Seminars serve as the first course in Otterbein's general education program. The seminars are diverse in topic and disciplinary perspective, but share a set of goals and outcomes relates to student learning and transition into the Otterbein academic community.
The seminars are taught by a wide range of faculty and are designed to provide students with an introduction to interdisciplinary learning. In other words, they'll help you understand what Otterbein classes will be like for the next four year! Students should choose a seminar that seems interesting to them; no major required one specific seminar. Therefore, the seminars are also a great way for students who are undecided or unsure of their major to explore different topics or areas.
There are also special sections, called Transition Year Seminars, offered for students who are transferring to Otterbein from another institution or are an adult student entering college for the first time. The goals of the program are the same: to introduce you to an Otterbein education and ease your transition into our academic community. However, the course focuses on those not new to college and allows transfer and adult students to meet other students in similar situations. Adult and transfer students are welcome to take traditional FYS sections, but are also able to take the TYS version.
Traditional age learners select an FYS course and Adult learners and Transfer students select a TYS course:
Note: Adult learners pursuing the Liberal Studies in Business and the Liberal Studies in Leadership degree completion programs will complete only the Senior Year Requirement which is the two-course (8 hrs) Interdisciplinary Dyad. The remaining Integrative Studies requirements are not applicable.
Identity Projects: Writing and Literature (1 course required)
Foregrounding the study of literature and the practice of writing, this requirement area invites you to explore the self in dynamic and critical terms. You will consider the interplay of individual and social identities, and study the self as a catalyst of voice, action, and purpose. In the process, you will engage with questions that are central to personhood: How does the self relate to others? How does the self change across time, culture, and circumstance? How does the self find its place in the world and know its impact? Courses in the thread will emphasize critical inquiry, close reading, and foundational expository writing skills. Honors students must register for a section of HNRS 1500.
Interconnections (1 course required)
In this requirement, you will use the approaches of history and the social sciences to explore how peoples across time and space have organized local, regional, national, and global communities. You will consider the ways in which individuals, groups, and societies are related to one another and examine the social, economic, and political traditions and structures they create. In the end, you will gain a better understanding of how and why peoples and societies have become increasingly interconnected to and interdependent upon one another.
Note: Nursing majors must select INST 2006 or (HNRS 2000) and also cannot select any INST approved substitutions.
Reflection and Responsibility (1 course required)
This requirement area encourages you to reflect meaningfully on your own values and to explore the ethical dimensions of human existence. You will investigate and examine such important issues as individual and collective responsibility to a common good, the notion of a "good life," and the nature and significance of personal and civic engagement.
Note: Nursing majors must select a course other than INST 2205 or HNRS 2200. Of the approved INST substitutions, only PHIL 1300 or PHIL 2400 may be used to fulfill this requirement.
Natural Foundations (1 course required)
In this requirement area, you will explore our modern understanding of nature and the physical world and how we have arrived at this knowledge. Courses in this thread will explore the impact of this understanding on society and discuss how human activity changes the world. You will confront both the wonders and the dangers inherent in science, and be challenged to consider your individual and collective responsibility for these changes.
Note: Integrated Science Education majors must select INST 2403 and also cannot select any INST approved substitutions.
Creativity and Culture (1 course required)
This requirement area explores how human beings find and create meaning in our world, particularly through creative inquiry in the arts. You will engage with knowledge that encourages deeper understanding and appreciation of the role of the arts across a diversity of human cultures. Using that knowledge, you will consider critical issues such as using the arts to engage questions of human meaning and purpose, how the arts can suggest and create new possibilities for communities and cultures, and questions of responsibility for maintaining and preserving cultural heritage from around the world.
Art majors must select a course other than INST 2601-2603.
Music majors must select a course other than INST 2605-2607.
Theatre majors must select a course other than INST 2608.
Interdisciplinary Dyad - Required/Choose One Set of Paired Courses; 8 hrs total
To complete the dyad requirement, you will take two courses from different disciplines that are purposefully linked together and share a central theme, topic, or issue. You will return to and reflect on the overarching learning goals of the Integrative Studies Program and engage in interdisciplinary and integrative modes of learning. You can complete the dyad requirement by choosing from the options listed below. As this is the final requirement in Integrative Studies, you must have completed FYS 1000, INST 1500, and at least three of the four INST 2000, 2200, 2400, 2600 requirements before registering for the dyad.
Dyad options will change as new ones are developed; the current options are listed below.
A Sense of Place: An African Experience (both courses required)
This dyad explores such key questions as why are those in the West so intrigued by African cultures, art, music, life-styles, and political turmoil? How is the African continent connected to the history of all humans? By focusing on a single country per term, the partner courses will examine the biological uniqueness of that country and its connection to the evolution and history of the great apes. An emphasis will be placed on the similar social and cultural characteristics between the two societies. Please note: This dyad will also incorporate an optional travel component. Students will be offered the opportunity to enroll in the SYE Africa travel course and visit the African country being studied in the dyad.
Being in Nature (both courses required)
Sustainability of our natural resources is the unifying concept of this dyad and will be studied through the lenses of environmental protection, economic well-being, social equity, and ethical responsibility, both locally and globally. As one course examines these concepts primarily through literature, the other will use a biological perspective, with a special focus on water resources. Both courses will involve "hands on" environmental experiences and challenge in the cognitive and affective domains. Please note: This dyad is open to all students but it is especially designed for adult students and both courses will be taught in a hybrid modality.
Critical Crossroads: Intersections of Race, Gender, Class, and Culture (2 courses required)
This dyad cluster is designed to provide an opportunity for students to study the ways in which subordinated groups are subjected to and reflect various aspects of inequality on a domestic and global level. Through the lens of critical theory, the courses in this dyad will address the dimensions of racial, ethnic and gender inequalities as they exist in media representation, intercultural communicative expression, and social structures. From a variety of different perspectives, these courses will address important concepts like white privilege, identity and resistance through historical, cultural and sociological frameworks.
Cross-Cultural Contact and the Dynamics of Power (both courses required)
This dyad examines the power dynamics of cross-cultural contact in the context of the Crusades and colonial conquest. Medieval Cross-Cultural Contact centers on westerners' interaction with the East (particularly the Byzantine and Islamic worlds) in the High Middle Ages in the context of the Crusades. Power and Culture: West Africa and Colonialism focuses on the interaction between the Western world (specifically Britain and the United States) and the traditional cultures of West Africa (specifically in what came to be Sierra Leone and Nigeria). What motivated these cross-cultural encounters? How did these cultures influence each other? How did these different cultures respond, resist, and adapt to these influences? These are some of the questions these partner courses explore together.
Cultural Identity and Justice in the Globalized World (both courses required)
This dyad will examine the history and impacts of globalization from two key perspectives: cultural anthropology and the sociology of social movements. Both courses consider globalization as an emergent chapter in the long history of dialectical social change as it has constructed global inequalities and tensions. While drawing on a shared analysis (and critique) of large-scale economic structures, both nonetheless look to the identities, actions, and perspectives of everyday people as they are affected by and as they respond to globalization. Taking a broad and multidimensional view of contemporary environmental, economic, political and social problems, students are invited to question dominant representations of the global economy as a "natural" system and consider alternatives.
Culture Wars: Conceptions of Culture from the 19th Century to the Present (both courses required)
The role of culture in society has always been problematic, although we often use the terms culture, civilization and society interchangeably. This dyad explores the uneasy relationship between the concept of culture and those of civilization, society, politics, and popular taste, beginning with the birth of the modern idea of culture in the 19th century and ending with its current incarnation as "popular culture." We are interested in investigating the questions pertaining to the changing role of culture and the solutions offered to it by literature, cinema, philosophy and art.
Exploring, Expressing and Composing the Self (both courses required)
How and why do humans reflect upon and represent, and therefore alter their experiences? How does creativity intertwine with individual and collective change? What is it that makes the creative impulse so core to human experience across time and space? How does creating visual or language-based art enhance self-knowledge and agency? Much of the impact of memoir-based art of any kind arises from the construction or reconstruction of visual images. Seeing the physical world accurately and connecting that vision with memory and emotion is vital to making any kind of art. The habit of art and of artful living is shared by writers who face the blank page, artists who face the blank canvas, and all of us as we face the need to design or redesign our own lives. To be sustainable, the courage and audacity needed to create something new must be balanced with the spirit of play, enjoyment, and possibility. In a very real way, we compose our lives, hopefully with the same level of conscious attention that we bring to our writing and to our art, to our choice of work and our choices in relationships. These courses will explore that connection. Please note: This dyad is open to all students but it is especially designed for adult students.
Gender and Sexuality (2 courses required)
In this dyad, students will explore the complexities of gender and sexual identity, difference, meaning, practice, performance, and representation. Course will examine these intricate issues in relationship to their different contexts (cultural, political, national or transnational) and to interlocking networks of identity (race, age, class, ethnicity, ability, etc).
Globalization and Human Progress (2 courses required)
This dyad explores the relationship between globalization and human progress over time and from a historical, political, and economic perspectives. The Dyad asks Big Questions about our contemporary global world. Why are some parts of the world rich, while other parts of the world are poor? Has globalization made most everyone better off, or has globalization impeded and harmed human development in parts of the world? How can we measure human prosperity or human development in different eras and in different parts of the world? Has the West benefitted more from globalization than other parts of the world? If so, why? How has globalization presented new questions for conceiving global and local understandings of justice and democracy? In examining these questions, the dyad explores the historical, political, and economic origins of contemporary globalization and the social, political, and economic consequences of globalization in different parts of the world. "Global Capitalism" (HIST 3200) explores the long-term swings in global integration and disintegration. It focuses on national and international political processes and the role corporations and financial interests play in shaping the extent of globalization over time. It also explores the often surprising stories of who capitalism and globalization has benefitted and harmed. "Economic Development and Growth" (ECON 4400) explores the major problems and prospects for the developing world, including environmental degradation, human migration, and population growth. How can economic theory help identify the kinds of steps that can be taken to improve human well-being and make the poorest parts of the world better off? "Globalization, Justice & Democracy" (POLS 4690) examines some of the characteristics of contemporary globalization and how they present opportunities and challenges to conceptions of democracy and justice. Together, the courses in the dyad show why globalization is a critical force in today's world, not only directly influencing daily life in Ohio, but across the world. The dyad aims to help students understand more about why some parts of the world are rich and other parts are poor; why some countries like China, India, Korea, and Singapore have grown rapidly; and, competing ideas about the prospects of improving human development or making the lives of people everywhere better and richer. Specifically, the dyad will explore (i) the nature of globalization and how it changed over time, (ii) the meaning of development and how it is measured, and (c) the impact.
Immigration, Race and Ethnicity Then and Now (both courses required)
This dyad will examine immigration, race, and ethnicity from two key perspectives: anthropology and history. Taking immigration into the United States as a common case study, the courses challenge students to examine and question their underlying assumptions about immigrants and immigration in relation to issues of global political economy, domestic politics and political culture, and the construction of identity within immigrant communities and the national community. Both courses emphasize the tortured dynamic between celebratory American myths regarding immigration and the realities of racism, xenophobia, legal restriction and exclusion.
Leadership for Self and Organizations (2 courses required)
The dyad will examine how individuals develop leadership and management skills within organizational structures using examples from non-profit organizations and health professional organizations. The dyad will also explore how organizations recognize and deal with external threats, especially to funding/revenue sources; decide on programs and services; attract and retain staff and volunteers; develop strategic plans; and carry out their purpose and mission.
Minds: Natural and Artificial (both courses required)
This dyad is organized around various way of understanding and thinking about the nature of mind and intelligence. In the last quarter of the 20th century cognitive science emerged as an interdisciplinary field that provided multiple tools, methods and perspectives for exploring fundamental questions regarding intelligence, mind, and agency. In particular, philosophy, psychology, computer science, linguistics, and neuroscience played the most significant roles. In the pilot offering of this dyad we will focus on philosophical and technological approaches, although we would welcome future offerings to include a wider array of courses from additional disciplines. This theme of the nature of mind and intelligence will also be explored within historical, cultural, and ethical frameworks.
Native American Cultures: Loss and Survival (2 courses required)
In this dyad, students will encounter cultures largely unfamiliar to most modern Americans. In the case of Native American cultures, a twofold dynamic operates: most students are shocked to learn about the cultural, and even literal, genocide inflicted on Native American cultures since White contact and angrily wonder why they have never been told about it before. The courses in our dyad will carefully examine this question. At the same time, many students struggle as their own religions and cultures - everything they hold dear - are repeatedly critiqued as the causes of incredible pain and suffering. Thus we will examine and experience the hard work underlying cross-cultural encounters. It's our hope that out of this experience our students will come to value and even respect Native American cultures. Finally, the title of our dyad captures another unifying concept, the losses within and of native cultures and those cultures' resistance against erasure. Native Americans are still here, and our dyad will ask students to come to grips with the hard truth that Native Americans still face huge challenges in our society. At the same time, White Americans must confront this fact: native peoples aren't just Native Americans, they are Americans.
Protest and the Counter-Culture: Progressive Music and Literature (both courses required)
This dyad will explore the political and aesthetic power of music, literature, and other aspects of global and historical counter-culture(s). We will regard the impact of protest artists and cultural movements such as Dadism and No Wave by looking at popular song, fiction and poetry, and film. Incorporating texts, guest speakers, field experience, and concerts, these paired courses will survey both the immediate impact of politically engaged music as well as the more delayed effect of avant-garde art. How does a protest song reflect and determine its time and place? How does an experimental form become "political"? What is "impact," and how can artists enact it? What theory and tools for analysis does a literary study bring to this table, and what does the field of music offer? These are among the questions this dyad will attempt to answer.
Reason and Revolution in the Long 18th Century (2 courses Required)
This dyad will explore the eighteenth century in Europe and America as an era of revolutions-not only the more familiar American and French Revolutions but widespread upheaval and transformation in the social, political, philosophical, scientific, and literary realms. The courses in the dyad will focus on 18th-century views of the mind, knowledge, God, metaphysics, science, the middle class, liberty, sociability, empire, taste, commerce, and other topics. The world we inhabit today is a world that was, in many significant ways, made in the 18th century; an understanding of our present situation can only be enhanced by seeing it come into being 200 to 300 years ago. Prominent thinkers in this time period have their hands in a wide variety of subjects–they are philosophers and satirists, political revolutionaries and novelists, soldiers and mathematicians, courtiers and theologians–which makes the multi-disciplinary approach of this dyad the perfect way to see the multi-dimensional world of Europe and America in the 18th Century.
The Search for Meaning in Culture and Human Life: Imagination, Belief and Ritual (both courses required)
The aim of this dyad is to explore the individual's engagement with the conditions of his or her existence, and with the cultures through which that engagement is lived out. All humans live in a universe of values. A value is not just a cause of pleasure or liking. Values are also what people live for. The individual must struggle to find what is worth living for within the limits and opportunities presented by nature and society. But the even when that struggle is successful, each of us knows that the meaning we have gained may disappear at any moment, and that in fact, will eventually disappear for sure. No one can avoid having to deal with mortality and vulnerability. In the face of these conditions, humans have fashioned responses that create meaning and even aspire to give meaning to that which seems to deny all meaning. These responses represent both individual and cultural achievements. The key idea of both these courses is the central fact of the struggle for meaning or in other words, the attempt to cope with the conditions of our existence. Our endeavor to cope involves both individual choice and the context of nature and culture within which our struggle occurs. These three concepts - coping, choice, and contexts - are common themes used to structure both courses.
The Self (both courses required)
The overall concept of the dyad is that the self is the result of multiple influences and that these influences can be analyzed from different perspectives in psychology and explored through the development of character in theatre.
Social Change (2 courses required)
This dyad focuses on varied forms of social change through significantly different lenses. The courses in this dyad will enable students to understand the role of the individual leader within a social organization and the role of an organization within a systemic framework for mass mobilization and community change. Both courses will have a service-learning component.
Social Justice: Then and Now (INST 4100 is required and either RELG 3100 or 3200 is required)
The unifying concept of the dyad, social justice, infers equity and human dignity for all social classes. In this dyad, students will encounter issues of social justice as viewed through the eyes of first-century Paul from Tarsus (RELG 3100) or the gospel writers (i.e. Jesus RELG 3200) and twenty-first century environmental justice (INST 3100). Students will examine social justice through the interdisciplinary lenses of religion and (environmental) science, arguably the two most powerful forces operating in our society.
The Soul, The World, and Human Imperfection: The Ancient Roots of the Christian Worldview (both courses required)
In this dyad, students will encounter three significant issues–the nature of the human soul, the changing quality of the physical world, and the fact of human imperfection–from the perspective, first, of classical-era Greek and Roman philosophy, and, second, from the perspective of pre-Reformation Christian thinkers. Indeed those Christian thinkers drew extensively on classical-era philosophers in developing and formulating Christian views on the soul, the world, and human imperfection. This course will provide students with a solid grounding in the way classical-era philosophers grappled with these three issues, and so prepare them to understand the ways Christian theologians adapted and modified the work of their classical predecessors into distinctly theological perspectives.
Understanding Nature (both courses required)
This dyad will examine how humans understand and relate to nature, using examples from Ohio, and the tropics and from two perspectives: psychology and ecology. Please note: The partner courses will meet in the same semester and students will have the option to enroll in a J-term SYE travel course to Belize.
Understanding Sustainability (2 courses required)
In our contemporary world, where economic, political, social and intellectual issues are frequently impacted by environmental change - and vice versa - understanding this complex and challenging dynamic will benefit students and graduates from many fields. Through shared assignments, field trips and guest speakers, each of the possible pairings between these courses will help students gain skills to apply sustainability concepts to their majors and future careers.
Substitutions for Integrative Studies (INST) requirements are permitted subject to the following conditions:
The Degree Audit program will automatically count any of the approved substitutes as satisfying INST requirements.
*Nursing majors are restricted to PHIL 1300, 2400 and 2950.
A student who participates in a University-approved study abroad or off-campus study experience has the opportunity to petition the IS program chair to secure a waiver of one Integrative Studies thread course per semester of study abroad/off-campus study. The student meets with the IS program chair in advance of the off-campus study experience and outlines in a brief proposal how the off-campus study experience is anticipated to meet the Integrative Studies goals/outcomes of the particular thread course (area of study). The IS chair will advise what materials are to be kept and the evidence to be added to the student's eportfolio. The IS program chair will notify the Registrar of the waiver.
Students may not petition to waive any of these courses: First Year Seminar (FYS), INST 1500's or both dyad courses.

The ART of SYE provides time and space for senior students to Act, Reflect, and address the Transition to life after Otterbein.
Designed for seniors, SYE asks students to shift their framework: from depth to breadth, from student to professional and citizen, from security to transition. SYE is a space in the curriculum that challenges students to pull together their knowledge and skills in ways that they can apply what they have learned to contemporary issues and challenges, take time to reflect on their education as a whole and its future uses, and identify and use resources as they move towards the transition to life beyond college.
Students must have completed 96 semester hours and at least 6 of their Integrative Studies courses before taking an SYE. Students may enroll in SYE through a variety of courses and options that include:
The Writing Intensive (WI) Requirement at Otterbein seeks to build and sharpen students' writing abilities in both general education and disciplinary courses. Students who entered as freshmen before fall 2014 are required to take two WI courses: INST 1500 (a designated writing instruction course taught by members of the English department) and a WI-designated course in their major. Students entering as freshmen in fall of 2014 and thereafter will take both of these WI courses and a third WI course (which could be a WI course in a double major or an elective WI course). The adult degree completion programs (Liberal Studies in Accounting, in Business, and in Leadership) are excluded from the third WI requirement.
The first course, which all students take as part of the Integrative Studies requirements, is selected from the following options:
The second and third courses are housed in the major as shown below or may come from a Writing Intensive course listed among any of the other majors below, HNRS 3500 and INST 2006.

Posted by Kristin
Despite a very dreary, rainy, cold day my thoughts have been wandering towards gardening and prepping for next spring. My new apartment has much to desire in the way of landscaping and gardening. One of my major goals for next spring is to install a few raised beds so I can plant my own vegetable garden. But to satisfy my need today to see green and flowers, I thought I would share a landscape design I did for my business, Taking Root Design, in May that is still offering many blooms this time of year.
The property has magnificent views of Mt. Tom and a beautiful, newly constructed, single family home. The site was literally empty, had a good six inches of new top soil put down, and was begging for some greenery.
|The home features a paved walkway up to a open front porch.
|Just remove the construction equipment and you've got a great view of the surrounding mountains.
The design goals for this project were fairly simple, particularly because the house had not been sold yet (its been sold now!) so I didn't have a specific client in mind that I was designing for.
Design Goals:
1. Design for year round interest and in such a way as to appeal to a wide range of people.
2. Offer some privacy for the front porch but still allow for clear views from the porch out to the yard.
3. Disguise the well head with plantings (you can see it's orange head to the left of the real estate sign in the first photo).
After many hours of design and lots of trace paper being thrown on the floor, I went to a local nursery, Class Grass, armed with my plant list and ideas of possible substitutes. Its always good to have some other choices in mind because chances are a nursery will not have every single plant on your list. That was certainly the case and I probably had to substitute 25% of the original plants I had selected.
After marking the beds, laying out the plants, and helping with the install, the landscape turned out great and completely transformed the front yard.
|New shrubs, perennials, and grass give the home a finished look and also
greatly reduce the storm water run off that was sheeting off of the bare top soil.
|Variegated grasses, maroon foliage, and a Star Magnolia offer a contrast in texture and color.
|The garage is flanked with bright yellow Rudbeckia (black eyed susans), variegated
Nishiki Willows, and additional Echinacea (coneflower) which ties into the front garden.
|Rudbeckia = very happy flower.
|What well head? There was a well head there?
|Echinacea is another happy flower with medicinal qualities to boot.
|And to end, not too shabby of a view from the front walk.
I hope this brought some inspiration and greenery to your day!

It seems that Star Wars / something else crossovers are all the rage on the con scene these days...I wonder way? I'm pretty sure after a few pics and pieces of fan art got big, everyone just joined in, too!
Here's another one: Sleeping Beauty and Snow White....Jedi Princess versions! Pretty awesome cosplays from Super Sirens!
I can't wait to see more and more of these crossovers. What kind of crossovers do you wanna see?

I asked you to hold me
a long time ago
you didn't or you didn't the way I wanted to,
it hurt
I remember these things randomly, unexpected memories traipse through my day that I shrug off,
make a joke about,
no bitterness
a part of me still shivers when I remember the love we made
but that doesn't mean I want you back
it means you knew how to fuck.
a friend said today that I look so content
I work at this
I don't chase butches no more. I don't chase no one no more.
just working on making my dreams come true
and laughing
and being a good person
and being honest
and saying stop when I mean stop
no when I mean no
yes when it feels right
that's it
it ain't fancy
it's hella simple
I still love you
I just won't let that love kill or define me
that's what done changed.

Your Key to Success
Added on May 6, 2011
Perseverance is our key to success. We would have observed many of the successful business people, whom we have known for years. Initially, they were not minting money as they are at the moment. It is a process. They had to first learn, plan, decide and implement them in their business. In a competitive business world, people are on the look out for new horizons in earning money online. The road is not smooth and it is our perseverance to succeed that would help us reach great heights.

Anna has everything figured out - she was about to start senior year with her best friend, she had a great weekend job, and her huge work crush looked as if it might finally be going somewhere... Until her dad decides to send her 4383 miles away to Paris. On her own. But despite not speaking a word of French, Anna finds herself making new friends, including Etienne, the smart, beautiful boy from the floor above. But he's taken - and Anna might be too. Will a year of romantic near-misses end with the French kiss she's been waiting for?
Harriet Manners knows a lot of things. She knows that a cat has 32 muscles in each ear, a "jiffy" lasts 1/100th of a second, and the average personal laughs 15 times per day. What she isn't quite so sure about is why nobody at school seems to like her very much. So when she's spotted by a top model agent, Harriet grabs the chance to reinvent herself. Even if it means stealing her Best Friend's dream, incurring the wrath of her arch enemy Alexa, and repeatedly humiliating herself in front of the impossibly handsome supermodel Nick. Even if it means lying to the people she loves. As Harriet veers from one couture disaster to the next with the help of her overly enthusiastic father and her uber-geeky stalker, Toby, she begins to realise that the world of fashion doesn't seem to like her any more than the real world did. And as her old life starts to fall apart, the question is: will Harriet be able to transform herself before she ruins everything?

So this is what I've been up to for the last two weeks and I just finished it today. This quilt is a birthday gift for my mother-in-law (which she would have celebrated over a week ago). It was the hub who asked me to make one for her, and since that's a rare occurrence, I jumped at the chance to oblige.
I chose this tree design because it reminds me of her. She is sweet and nurturing and has a wonderful love of life. And she very much enjoys cutzie and colorful things. I know she will enjoy the happy colors in all the leaves.
The tree trunks were patchworked into the quilt, but the leaves and sun were appliqued. That's probably not how real quilters would have done it but I didn't have the time to figure out how to work the leaves into the quilt itself. And since the sun was an afterthought (because I didn't like all the white space above the small tree), I had to applique that using some orange cotton and yellow fleece from my stash. I am very pleased with how the sun turned out and I think the fleece adds a bit of extra texture.
And then comes the part that always stumps me: how to quilt it. Instead of stippling (in which I lack confidence because I've only done it once before on this kid-sized quilt), I decided to quilt it in parts to give me more time to think. I quilted the tree trunks first using staggered boxes; I used my darning foot and worked my way up the trunks in straight lines.
I quilted the leaves next using a pebbling technique (very fun, but definitely time consuming) while adding a string of loops to the branches.
Then after a full day of pondering, I decided to simply outline the trees in the white space. I'm super excited about that decision. I think it adds dimension and calls attention to the focal points. Stippling would have looked great, I'm sure, but it tends to blend everything together. I wanted the trees to stand out.
I hand-bound the quilt in a light green, large floral print fabric that I bought on a visit to a fabric store with my mother-in-law in January. How fitting. And because I love little personal touches, I added two of them:
A small strip of little birdie fabric in the binding . . .
And a personalized tag stitched with embroidery thread . . .
Here is the back. This blue-green, small-flower print fabric again reminded me so much of my mother-in-law that I just had to use it for the backing. And I decided to tie in some of the prints from the front. Isn't it neat how you can see the outline of the trees on the back? I wasn't sure how it would look from the back, but I really like it.
This is my seventh quilt but only my second adult-sized lap quilt. I'm still getting the hang of my darning foot, but I was really surprised at how great the quilting looks even though the lines surrounding the trees are not evenly spaced. I'm a perfectionist (and an engineer), so I thought I would be bothered by the uneven stitching or the accidental zigzags. But I'm not. Maybe I appreciate these small little errors because each of them makes the quilt handmade and personal.
This was such a great quilting experience! I wasn't sure about quilting after my first one, but with each new quilt I gain confidence and knowledge and I can proudly say that I was a little sad to actually finish this quilt. On to the next one then . . .
This quilt measures 55 inches wide by 51 inches long.
Just for fun (and because I love this quilt so much) I'm submitting this quilt to the Blogger's Quilt Festival Spring 2010! Jump on over to see other quilts handmade by fellow bloggers.

It's All in A Name!
Years ago one of us had a patient named James Dick. He was a great guy who referred his wife and kids and then his brother and his brother's entire family. Some cousins and other assorted members of the family tree followed. One day an insurance company clerk called, saying to Carole at the front desk "I'm calling about the treatment for Mr. Dick," to which she replied…
"You'll have to tell me which one – we have a file cabinet full of Dicks!"
So we have to thank Mr. Dick for a few things:
- He was a great patient who referred many family members.
- He provided us with a very memorable laugh.
- His name was easy to pronounce!
We all know it is great to call a patient by name as frequently as possible. But what if you are shying away from doing so because you don't know the proper pronunciation? Or even worse – what if you have been mispronouncing a patient's name for years and they haven't said anything about it?
If you are even slightly unsure about the way a patient's name is pronounced, just ask! They will appreciate it. Then, write it phonetically inside of the chart and review it during the morning huddle.
Don't try to use those fancy phonetic characters that no one understands – just write it out in a way that cannot be mistaken. (Example – the name of a French dentist we know would be phonetically spelled as "PEE-AIR SHY-THEED.")
While the sound of a patient's name may be the most beautiful thing to them, hearing it pronounced incorrectly is just the opposite.

text: Hi all I have fitted a 2nd SSD into my Mini (late 2012) using the iFixit kit. This disk is second hand and has been used in a Windows PC and a MBP 2010. I am having some problems getting OSX to see the disk. When the disk was moved from a Macbook into the Windows PC I remember Windows complaining this disk was GPT configured and needing changing to a MBR. I cannot remember what I did to get this to work but I converted it somehow. Now I have taken it out of the Windows PC and put it into the Mini. I can boot the Mac using the option key and using a Windows 8 USB bootdisk boot Windows and use DiskPart to see and manipulate the disk. So there is not a hardware failure. I have used Diskpart to clean the disk, convert it from GPT to MBR and back again, create a partition, etc etc. However, I simply cannot get OSX to see the disk at all. Disk utility simply does not see the disk. I am pulling my hair out with what to do next. Can anyone suggest anything? Thanks

Milk is usually found in breasts, teats, or udders. For others (namely adults), milk is found in cartons, bottles or crates.
Well, for Mr S, we find milk in the folds of his skin, around his cheeks and lips (the dried kind), on his mittens, socks, eyes, collars. Today we found milk in mid-air. YES, mid-flight, mid-air, on its way to spoil someone's (and that would be us) day.

CHARLOTTE, NC (WBTV) - There is a new bank in town. Most of us can't make any deposits at this credit union, though. It is set up solely for students at West Mecklenburg High School.
This is the third time Charlotte Mecklenburg Schools have set up a credit union in a high school. Others at Harding University High School and Garinger High School have since closed.
This is a partnership between West Meck and Charlotte Metro Credit Union. The intent is to teach students an important lesson, early in their lives. Students can make deposits into savings accounts during their lunch periods.
"Financial literacy is something we're not educated on until after we've incurred so much debt. That is too late. We want students to know bring financially sound is not just getting a paycheck, cashing it, and buying the latest pair of Jordans. Saving your money is the most important thing you can do," said teacher Michele Willis who helped to set up the credit union.
There is more to this story, however. This bank is also run by students.
"I took the initiative to apply to work at the credit union because I want to be a business major in college," said student Jordan Rice.
He is now a branch manager at the West Meck credit union, making sure the applications are filled out properly and helping the student tellers with their work.
14 new accounts were set up when the credit union opened today.

|old bumper - past its best
I had a ring round and bought a good secondhand one from one of our TR Register group members who has several TR7's. All it needed was a quick tidy up and a coat of paint. Fitting the plastic covers back was a fiddly job where you seem to need three hands but after a few choice words of persuasion it all went back together and is a much better result.
|New bare bumper before plastic cover
Whilst the car was being welded and painted I got the bodyshop guys to install a couple of captive nut mounting points for the Aleybars roll hoop that I have. This had originally come with the old red car but had never been bolted in, it was simply just placed in position. Looked OK but was only decoration and wobbled about when you got hold of it. At least now was the chance to install it properly, see new mounting plate with its captive nuts welded in position.

Pear Roasted Brussels Sprouts
Brussels sprouts are one of my favorite fall/winter seasonal vegetables, and they're full of nutrients. Brussels sprouts are a member of the cruciferous vegetable family alongside kale, broccoli, and cauliflower. Cruciferous vegetables are well known as a rich source of fiber, B vitamins and calcium (all but cauliflower). Specifically, brussels sprouts contain B vitamins, B6 and folate, which play an important role in energy metabolism and production of red blood cells. They may also be beneficial in promoting up-regulation of detoxification enzymes released by the liver.
Though brussels sprouts can be an acquired taste, this recipe brings out their sweeter side with the added roasted pear and cranberries. You can serve this dish as part of your next holiday meal, or simply make it for as part of an easy weeknight meal. To mix it up you can add nuts like almonds or walnuts, or swap the pear for an apple.
- 2 cups (450 g) whole uncut Brussels– cut the stem off and half them before adding to pan (below)
- 1/2 medium pear, cut into small cubes
- 1 tsp (7.5 ml) olive oil
- 1 tbsp (30 g) dried cranberries
- 1 – 2 tbsp (15 – 30 ml) pure maple syrup (optional, for a sweeter taste)
- Dash of salt and pepper, to taste
- Preheat oven to 425 F/218 C.
- Place cut brussels and pear into aluminum foil lined glass baking dish or dark metal baking dish.
- Add olive oil, salt, and pepper to brussels sprouts and pears. Also add maple syrup at this time if you would like a sweeter dish.
- Place the dish into the oven, and stir the mixture every 5-10 minutes for about 25 minutes or until the brussels sprouts are done cooking.
- Remove the baking dish from the oven, add cranberries, then serve and enjoy!

We can't say that people have been banging down our doors to spread the virtues of Ecuador, but don't look now: A win this morning puts the team in the field of 16. Costa Rica had the difficult distinction of playing the first game of the World Cup, against the host, no less.
Anyway, that's how we PUMP YOU UP for some early-morning soccer: It's Ecuador vs Costa Rica. We'll confess, we don't know anyone from either country, but we're kind of rooting for Costa Rica, since they're known as "Tico." That's fine with us.
It's The Mighty MJD once again for us this morning; he has kind of rocked all week, and we can't wait to see what he's got today. When we wake up. Email him your thoughts, follow along in the comments and enjoy, after the jump.
94:00: And I'm out. Have a good one, everybody.
94:00: And that's it... Ecuador has clinched a spot in the knockout round. Probably a hell of a lot of fun to be in Quito right now. An efficient and entertaining effort by La Tri today. They could be a little bit of a sleeper in the knockout round.
92:33: This beating has been thorough and efficient.
91:42: 3-0 now. Perfect pass there by Mendez, as he was running down the right side... absolutely perfect ball ahead, landing on the foot of Kaviedes, as he was streaking down the middle. Ah, I'll just quote Shep Messing. "It's a thing of beaut-aaaaaaaaaaay!"
89:50: It's a long, slow, death for Costa Rica... plus four minutes of misery-prolonging stoppage time.
86:27: Saborio JUST misses, banging one off the cross bar... some kinda nice work there from the Ticos. Not the prettiest of attack, but it yielded an excellent look at the goal.
85:53: Hey, Ben Roethlisberger was released from the hospital. That's terrific. I wonder if he went home on his motorcycle.
83:50: Substitution for Costa Rica. Now there will be a different guy out there on the field when they lose. Brilliant move.
83:15: Nice long cross, perfectly off the head of Kaviedes, but he pops it well up over top of the goal.
80:53: Ecuador playing keepaway here. This one's all over but the crying.
78:58: Great chance for Ecuador on some more nifty passing. Kaviedes just couldn't put it home. Good save there.
77:10: They do no such thing.
76:29: Costa Rica forces a corner here... they'll need to get something out of this if they want to have any chance to get back in the mix.
74:57: Glenn Davis keeps saying that Costa Rica needs to find some inspiration. I don't know what he wants to happen... I guess they could show Rocky on the Jumbotron, with the Spanish subtitles turned on.
72:48: Valencia is removed from the game, for an emergency hair-relaxing session. Patricio Urrutia comes on.
71:51: A long shot from Hernandez goes wide for the Ticos. They're forcing the action here a little bit.
70:52: Saborio fouls the goalie... despite the fact that the goalie came out and plowed into him. Wanchope also had his first halfway decent look of the game right there.
69:22: Goal into the back of the net for Ecuador, but they guy was offsides. Not by a lot, though. These officials assistants, the guys with the flags, are pretty sharp.
68:01: Hey, he's back on his feet. This guy's a warrior.
67:04: I think Giovanny Espinoza was just taken off on a stretcher for a cramp. I can't be sure, but they were working on him like it was a cramp. And then he got the stretcher. That has to be a first, right?
65:19: It's the wave again. The Germans really love doing the wave.
64:08: Valencia is down... a Costa Rican guy pretty blatantly stepped on his leg. That wasn't very nice.
60:35: Shot by Luis Valencia forces the keeper to make the save... he was knocked down on the shot, and of course, here comes the stretcher. If they did this in basketball, Vlade Divac would've been stretchered out upwards of 20 times per game.
59:45: "Have to love a guy who paints his face for the World Cup, though. Look at him. Nice." - Shep Messing.
59:03: Great run by Mauricio Solis (awesome name, by the way), and he earns a shot on goal for himself. He covered a lot of ground there. I think the shot was off-target anyway.
54:51: Shep Messing's call of that was just ridiculous, by the way... he started yelling, "BANG!" like a drunken John Madden. And Glenn Davis seems not to notice things until 3 or 4 seconds after they've happened.
53:39: SOUL GLO! Delgado scores for La Tri, and it's 2-0. A throw-in and some beautiful passing and flipping... and a great tight shot by Delgado finishes it off. Just beautiful.
52:17: Ecuador finally gets it going in the second, and a lasered shot makes the goalie have to step up and make a play. All set up by a bad giveaway by the Ticos.
49:39: Shot by Ronald Gomez goes just wide for the Ticos... they've looked a little bit sharper here in the second.
48:59: A nice possession for Costa Rica ends with a cross that was a little too deep and handled easily by the keeper.
47:25: Costa Rica looks more determined to attack here, early in the 2nd half.
46:17: Ecuador has started the second half with a substitution... Carlos Tinorio is on the bench, for some reason. I thought he had been playing pretty well. Maybe the coach was mad because he dripped jheri curl juice on the carpet in the locker room.
45:00: That's the half. Carlos Tinorio has the only goal for La Tri. Excellent first half for them, but they should probably have more than one goal. I'll be back for the second. Enjoy Julie Foudy.
45:00: Ecuador just playing with them... and DAMN that was close. Another great cross, I think it actually hit Delgado's foot before he was aware of it. Should've been an easy goal.
44:12: Harold Wallace was open down the sideline there, but the pass to him was deflected, allowing the keeper to come out and get to it first.
43:12: Paolo Wanchope is getting the Shaq treatment. Costa Rica can't get him in any kind of a position to do anything. Also like Shaq, Wanchope is on the team with vastly inferior talent.
41:44: Long cross on the counter by the Ticos, and it JUST misses. The header required a fingertip save by the keeper. That was close.
41:11: Great save by the Costa Rican keeper on a deflected cross. Ecuador's getting at least one more today.
39:09: Carlos Tinorio is getting an earful of trash talk from a bald Costa Rican guy. I think he was telling him how much money he saves on hair care products. Little does he know that Tinorio's home weave products are really taking off.
38:23: Another near chance for Ecuador, as the ball just slid past the foot of Mendez on a run into the box. It's been all Ecuador.
35:51: A long shot for the Ticos... and he hit it hard. I'll say that for it. If there was a goal stacked on top of the goal, this game would be 18-6, Ecuador.
33:17: Free kick for Ecuador, in a nice position. Just outside the corner of the box. Mandez takes it, and puts it high over the top of goal.
30:40: Headed out nicely by Delgado.
30:14: Good ball ahead by Costa Rico, but the Ecuadorian defense is quick to get it out of danger. Corner for the Ticos.
28:05: Substitution for the Ticos already. Out is Danny Fonseca, in is Alvaro Saborio. Striker in for a midfielder. Looking for more offense. Credit to the Costa Rican coach not screwing around and waiting for the second half to do that.
26:27: Nice ball ahead for Wanchope, and it looked good for a second... but a nice job by the Ecuadorian keeper to come up and snag the ball.
24:00: Little tiny bit of token pressure from Costa Rica. Insight from Shep Messing: Ecuador isn't going with a flat back four, because of Paolo Wanchope... they want to give him as little room as possible.
22:33: Corner for La Tri... long shot, over the bar by about 28 feet.
22:05: Ecuador... they're pretty good. They'll be a big underdog against Germany, but... that might be a solid bet.
20:43: Long, sustained possession for Ecuador. Crisp, short, passes... getting into space. And eventually, Douglas Sequira just spikes someone in the foot and forces a free kick.
17:53: Hey, the wave is busted out by the Hamburg crowd. I'd like to make fun of them for being German and lame, but... I still see too damn much of the wave here in America. It's an international problem. The UN should get involved.
15:28: I don't think Shep Messing has said anything extraordinarily dumb yet (you may disagree). His name is still Shep, though.
15:09: Ecuador is just hammering away. Another shot has to be blocked away, from just inside the top of the box. It's been all La Tri here for a while.
12:38: They go short with it. Not much happening there.
12:09: Long shot from Mendes... knocked past the goal line by the keeper, and it's a corner kick.
10:44: Uh-oh. Bad challenge there, and a man is down. Here comes the stretcher, as it does for any hangnail or mild scratch. Tinorio is being carted off. And hey, look, he's back. Good for him. Things like that never happened to, say... Jack Lambert.
7:40: GOOOOOOAL! Goal, Ecuador. It's my man Tinorio... A beautiful little cross from just outside the box goes off his head and into the goal.
7:21: There's a nice cross from Ecuador, just headed it... they keep the pressure on...
6:30: Lots of non-threatening movement here... I think Carlos Tinorio orders Soul Glo by the case.
3:50: Have to say that Costa Rica's had the better of it so far... nothing too significant, but the ball's spent a lot of time in Ecuador's third of the field.
1:46: Nice ball movement for Costa Rica there. Final shot was harmless.
0:53: The Ticos are in a 4-4-2, which I guess is new for them.
0:30: Man, La Tri has a lot of greasy, wavy-haired guys. Who's coaching them, Al B. Sure? Jermaine Jackson. They are letting their Soul Glo, that is for damn sure.
0:00: Thanks to the German blitzkreig of Poland yesterday, one of these teams is getting through to the knockout round. Score one for the little guys.
0:00: No foreign guys this morning. We've been spoiled. Glenn David and Shep Messing. That's a perfect way to ruin someone's morning.
0:00: And on the Costa Rican tip, Paolo Wanchope is the ringleader. Against Germany, he was Bruce Springsteen, and the rest of the team was the E-Street Band. Paulo was a stud. He was actually recruited to play some basketball at Michigan State, but he went with soccer instead. If you're into nicknames, call them the Ticos. I kinda like that. TICOS, MY MAN. They're pretty solid underdogs here.
0:00: Alright, let's get you primed on Ecuador. Agustin Delgado is the star striker. He scored once against Poland, and set up another goal. Edison Mendez is another candidate for some goal scoring. And while it may not be the most star-studded team in the field, they do play some attractive soccer, and clearly, they've shown they have the power to take down some heavyweights. You may call them the Tricolores, if that's your style. La Tri, for short.

My story deals with many "controversial" issues, and I have gay characters: So the leading gay magazine in the UK did an article about my book. Below are 2 quotes I love:
"sensational novel"
"Ophiuchus Cube promises to be a riveting read for everyone who not only loves science fiction, but loves reading about interesting characters and how they develop."
Of course I am very happy with the article. It is really great when the "media" appreciates what you have created.

warnie lewis | the furniture of heaven
I was glad to finish breakfast and get out on the road. Sitting on a well, I found myself looking at a stone posted gate into a field, with some dim stirring in my mind of having looked at a very similar gate when I was a small boy at some seaside place, and enjoying its unfamiliarity. It suddenly occurred to me that the warning, "unless ye are like little children" etc., may not refer to one's moral state at all, but may mean that heaven is only for those who retain something of, or at worst the remembrance of, a child's infinite delight in ordinary things in the days when the whole world was a magical place. I can imagine for instance that wallflowers and flowering currants, as they were when I first became conscious of them - when the former grew knee high, and the latter was a large tree - may very well be part of the furniture of heaven, and produce the same indescribable delight.
Diary of Warren Lewis,
brother of C.S. Lewis

Megaupload founder Kim Dotcom has been granted bail, after spending over a month in custody awaiting an extradition hearing, according to an NZ Herald report.
Dotcom was previously denied bail after being deemed a flight risk due to his significant wealth. As part of his bail he is not allowed to use the internet, despite his lawyer arguing that he needs it to communicate with his overseas legal team.
The three colleagues who were arrested with Dotcom have all already been bailed. An extradition hearing was scheduled to take place today.

Okay, so if I wait for a while longer, MMC might solve the problem for me.
Actually, I have developed a sort-of-workaround. I wrote some code that
reads a midi file and extracts the control change mesasges, and writes them
out as a list of values suitable for -klg: use. It's a bit of a hack, but it
works for now :)
BTW, whatever happened to ecaenvelopator(?) - now that I'm using ecasound
regularly, that would be a useful tool.

Well, I've been thinking abut this for a while, so maybe I will have to stop
just thinking and start working!
Thanks Kai. I'm now using ecasound every day as my main recording tool and
it's fantastic.
