I can confirm gregor's comment. Moreover, there are more files expected in the /usr/lib/winswitch directory (such as delayed_start), so you're best off just symlinking /usr/share/winswitch to /usr/lib/winswitch to get things working with the least effort.

I had troubles connecting to winswitch using xpra. After debugging I found
out that winswitch expects the script virt_server_daemonizer in /usr/lib/winswitch/ but with your package the scripts get installed into
/usr/share/winswitch. this renders xpra support unusable.
kind regards gregor

0.12.19 available. Built fine here by amending the PKGBUILD.

I've created a patch to update PKGBUILD to ver. 0.12.18-1. Please find my patch here:
Using this, winswitch ver. 0.12.18 does build for me. However, due to other problems I'm not able to get winswitch working so this is not a proper test. I hope this PKGBUILD can still be of use.

"Description: Window-Switch is a client server tool to start and control virtual desktops"
When creating a package description for a package, do not include the package name in a self-referencing way. For example, "Nedit is a text editor for X11" could be simplified to "A text editor for X11". Also try to keep the descriptions to ~80 characters or less.

Pundits and forecasters have India and China locked in a race to see which will be the next economic superpower. The money, quite literally, seems to be on China, but in a recent publication, Reimagining India: Unlocking the Potential of Asia's Next Superpower, the strategic consultancy company McKinsey & Co has created a compelling case for India eclipsing China by 2030.
The book, edited by Clay Chandler and Adil Zainulbhai, unfolds as a collection of 64 essays from 82 contributors representing the views of global giants such as Coca Cola, Google, Reliance Industries, Microsoft, Cisco, Vedanta Resources, Starbucks and IDFC.
Although much of the focus is on corporate India, culture and the humanities also get a look in. Bill Gates, discussing polio eradication, and influential lawyer Zia Mody rub shoulders with five-time World Professional Billiards champion Geet Sethi. Eric Schmidt is in conference with the dean of Harvard Business School Nitin Nohria, while Howard Schultz from Starbucks shares the pages with Viswanathan Anand – India's first chess grandmaster.
They all bring with them convincing data that includes India's growing market of 1.2 billion people, half of whom are under 25; an economy capable of generating a GDP of 8.5%; and a middle class of 250 million people who are transcending the country's infamous caste system.
The topics range from the strengths and weaknesses of India's political system; competitiveness of Indian firms; Indian foreign policy; and the power of new technologies to transform healthcare, education and competitiveness. There is also space for India's "softer" industries – the arts, cuisine and India's prospects for gold at the Olympics. The result is a well-rounded picture of what matters when considering India's socio-economic future.
Throughout the essays the words potential, innovation and competition come up time and time again. Mukesh Ambani, CEO of Reliance Industries and a member of the Indian Prime Minister's Council on Trade and Industry, explains how India started unleashing its potential. For him, the stripping back of India's system of tariffs and regulations – known as Licence Raj – in 1991 was crucial. "These sanctions created immense difficulties, they created an artificial scarcity for everything a business needed to succeed. The reforms were compelled by a financial crisis, but nevertheless they were visionary and bold. The performance of Reliance shows an amazing trend when mapped against time. The inflection point was 1991. We grew exponentially, eventually becoming India's biggest private enterprise, on the basis of the freedom to compete against the best in the world."
The complexity of India is picked up by Coca Cola's Muhtar Kent, the son of a diplomat who spent his formative years in India. "If you come to India with some grand, predetermined strategy or master plan, prepare to be distracted, deterred, and even demoralized." If that sounds daunting, he proceeds with optimism by detailing a plan for success: focus on training and talent recruitment, and source products from within India to deepen ties to the market. Among his stories is that of the 5by20 initiative, "which seeks to bring additional business training, finance opportunities, and mentoring to five million women entrepreneurs across our global value chain by 2020. Indian women make up a significant focus of this program."
There is no doubt from reading these essays of the passion that this country invokes in those who do business there. As Dominic Barton, the global managing director of McKinsey & Co, says: "India, with its wildly pluralistic society, fractious democratic political system, and boisterous independent media, has the potential to show the world's other emerging markets that ethnic homogeneity and authoritarianism aren't the only – or even the best – path to successful economic development."

NEW DELHI: Tata Motors' multi-utility vehicle Hexa is due to be launched this year and already has been spotted testing on roads. This new MPV was showcased at the 2015 Geneva Motor Show along with a sportier version of the Tata Bolt.
The Hexa is based on the Aria and is complete re-do of the existing MPV. The platform remains the same, apart from that, there are several major changes in the underpinnings, sheet metal and even interiors of the new MPV.
The Hexa will become the new flagship for Tata Motors and this will get the same 2.2-litre diesel engine, however it is likely to produce about 170bhp of power and 400Nm of maximum torque. This engine will come with a six-speed manual transmission and also an automatic (ZF) transmission should be made available.
The Hexa will be making its way into the MPV segment and this will be a six-seater (and hence the name). The Hexa gets multiple changes on the inside as it has a new dashboard with the new-generation Tata steering wheel and also a touchscreen Harman infotainment system with Bluetooth, USB and aux connectivity, multiple airbags, ABS, ESP and 4x4 also.
The Tata Hexa is expected to be priced betwenn Rs 12.5 lakh to Rs 17 lakh (on-road). Aria is expected to be discontinued after the Hexa launch. This will be competing with the Toyota Innova, and to some extent even the Honda Mobilio and the Renault Lodgy.

Officially Autumn begins on the 22nd September but to me, and I suspect to others, the summer is over when the schools go back.
In many ways I love Autumn. Things look like they're over, but that's just sleight of hand. Nothing is really dying. In fact it's a time of great fertility - every dropping acorn a potential oak - and glut: apples, tomatoes, blackberries.
It's been a good summer, and a busy one. In addition to my trip to Oxford I've been to 3 proms, 2 Royal Academy exhibitions, 2 V&A late nights, The Shakespeare Metamorphosis at Senate House, HMS Belfast, and the Fire Garden pictured above.
(In case anyone is wondering, yes I have a full time job, but I only work the actual hours I'm contracted for.)
The Fire Garden was amazing; metal forms shaped into primitive machines, and flames so much more beautiful and elemental than any power we might use now, to drive them. Chimneys that gorged and spat sparks into the air, orb-shaped furnaces that hung at head height, twisted forms with bunsen blue flames that boiled water into steam.
And so back to study. This October I'm beginning an MA in English Literature with the Open University. The giant cardboard box they sent me went untouched for a week, but I cracked it open this evening. Onwards we go...

The United States military and law enforcement scientists are investigating reports that the terrorist group ISIS are using chemical weapons against the Iraqi military, according to Secretary of State John Kerry. The ISIS fighters are allegedly using the deadly weapon of mass destruction (WMD) chlorine gas. "I am not in a position to confirm it, but I can tell you that we take these allegations very, very seriously," Kerry told reporters during a press briefing on Friday.
Iraqi government officials have said ISIS used chlorine gas during fighting with Iraqi soldiers and Shia militia north of Baghdad.
Three Iraqi officials — a senior security official, a local official from the town of Duluiya and an official from the town of Balad – had told The Associated Press that the Islamic State group used bombs with chlorine-filled cylinders during clashes in late September in the two towns.
Dizzy, vomiting and struggling to breathe, 11 Iraqi police officers were rushed to a government hospital 50 miles north of the capital last month. The diagnosis: poisoning by chlorine gas. The perpetrators, according to the officers is ISIS.
Those fears spiked when the Iraqi Defense Minister confirmed that 11 Iraqi police were admitted to a hospital last month with symptoms of dizziness, vomiting and trouble breathing – symptoms of chlorine gas poisoning.advertisement - story continues below
The chlorine attack appears to be the first confirmed use of chemical weapons by the Islamic State on the battlefield. An Iraqi Defense Ministry official corroborated the events, and doctors said survivors' symptoms were consistent with chlorine poisoning.
The presence of a large former Iraqi chemical weapons production plant in territory seized by the Islamic State has compounded those fears, although officials and chemical weapons experts say the 2,500 degraded rockets filled with nerve agents that remain there are unlikely to be fit for use. Weapons inspectors sealed them off with concrete in a bunker more than 20 years ago.

SCEI Announces Ground-Breaking, Next-Generation 3D Online-User Community For PLAYSTATION®3 - "Home"
Sony Computer Entertainment Inc. Announces Ground-Breaking, Next-Generation 3D Online-User Community For PLAYSTATION®3 - "Home"
Mar. 7, 2007
Sony Computer Entertainment Inc. Announces Ground-Breaking, Next-Generation 3D Online-User Community For PLAYSTATION®3 - "Home"
Free Download to Allow Broad User Interaction in Highly Detailed Community Environment; Opens Door to User-Created Content, Collaboration and Commerce
TOKYO and SAN FRANCISCO, Calif., March 7, 2007 – Sony Computer Entertainment Inc. (SCEI) today announced the unveiling of a first-of-its-kind 3D online user community service for the PLAYSTATION®3 (PS3™) computer entertainment system. The service, known as "Home," will enable users to create their own avatar and explore a real-time virtual community, as if they are playing a detailed 3D game for PS3™. The service will become available globally beginning in fall 2007.
Home will be demonstrated at the Game Developer's Conference (GDC) in San Francisco, California on March 7 as a key element of SCEI Worldwide Studios' President Phil Harrison's keynote presentation titled "Game 3.0: Developing and Creating for the 3rd Age of Videogames."
Home is a real-time online 3D, networked community available on the PLAYSTATION®Network. It allows PS3™ users to interact, communicate, join online games, shop, share private content and even build and show off their own personal spaces to others in real time. Home will be available as a free download from the PLAYSTATION®Store and will launch directly from XMB™ (XrossMediaBar) on PS3™.
With an avatar uniquely customized according to each user's preference, users can explore the 3D community that is Home – a sleek, modern environment featuring spacious common areas; custom spaces dedicated to specific games; and personal apartments. Each user is assigned an apartment in Home where they can invite others to join them as they show off their own style in an area they can personalize themselves with furniture, art and other items – even a different view from their windows. They can also show their personal video, pictures and other digital media content found on their PS3™ hard drives in their apartments. Very rich interactive communication with others is achieved through built in text, audio and video chat, along with sophisticated emotional animations for each character.
Sharing continues in the "Hall of Fame," where users can display new 3D trophies that will be unlocked through in-game achievements, as well as real time score rankings in PS3™ games.
"This is a significant step forward in the area of user community services and emergent entertainment experiences," said Izumi Kawanishi, Corporate Executive and CTO Software, SCEI. "While the 3D graphics demonstrate the power of PS3™ and the PLAYSTATION Network™, the most impressive feature in Home is the variety of ways in which multiple consumers, as well as our third-party partners, can experience the next generation of communication by interacting and sharing among each other. I feel strongly that this unique blend of community, user-generated content, collaboration and commerce will expand the future of computer entertainment."
Home will go into a closed beta test this spring with a full launch targeted for later this year. By having a broad range of business partners participate in Home, along with an expansive catalog of upcoming game software titles for PS3™, SCEI will continue to enhance the new world of entertainment and vigorously promote PS3™ as the next generation computer entertainment platform.

There'll be no "managing expectations", as the media is trying to reload the monkey on the Sox' back, making them the consensus favorite to win the World Series, if not the intergalactic championship should baseball-loving aliens arrive in 2011.
Name some reasons why the Sox could underachieve, and what the likelihood of that is.
- Injury. Who thought that the Sox would lose critical parts of the team (V-Mart, Pedroia, Youkilis, Ellsbury) for substantial parts of the season. Sure the Red Sox are viewed as innovators and leaders in sports medicine, but that doesn't prevent fluke injuries...or injuries to key players.
- Statistical randomness. This can work in either direction for the Red Sox and for their opposition. For example, Mark Belanger was a career .228 hitter, who hit .287 in 1969. Dwight Evans, a .272 career hitter, hit .242 or less three times during his career. Guys have bad years. Even Teddy Ballgame hit .254 in 1959, admittedly at age 40 with 331 at bats. Also, outcomes in close games can also make a huge difference.
- The "Tigers Effect". IIRC, in 1984, the Detroit Tigers won 35 of their first 40 games, ran away and hid from the field.
- Breakdowns from key players. Last year Jonathan Papelbon had his ups and downs. Will the real Pap please stand up? The trend isn't good, with rising WHIP (walks and hits per inning pitched) and falling strikeout to walk ratio (9.63 in 2008, 3.17 in 2009, and 2.71 in 2010). Red Sox data has shown that K/BB ratio predicts ERA better than prior ERA itself.
- Chemistry breakdown. Certainly rumors abound about a pitcher sent out of town for ECA (extracurricular activities) and a position player who crossed certain lines never violated.
Despite the Sox hype about winning more than a hundred games, I don't expect that to happen with a much improved AL East including the ever potent Yankees and the underrated Rays.
Do I have any "surprises" for the Sox this year?
- I think that the biggest surprise will be that Daisuke Matsuzaka will be better than the 'consensus'. Of course, I don't think that consensus view is much above .500.
- I think that the right-handed duo of Mike Cameron and Darnell McDonald will prove to be a lot more productive than is generally perceived. With the Sox so 'left-handed', getting these guys in the lineup (e.g. RF and DH) may be the smartest move that Francona can make.
- Jed Lowrie will get a lot more at bats than currently expected. Marco Scutaro is a 'nice' player, but Lowrie has a higher ceiling. Will Scutaro's injury recur and will the manager just rotate in Lowrie to allow for optimal rest and recovery.
- Clay Buchholz will end up being the 'best' Sox starter. Simply, Buchholz has hellacious stuff, with two good fastballs, and two excellent complementary pitches, including a dynamite changeup. What made him so effective last year was the evolution of his cutter, which gave him another weapon against lefthanded batters. I saw him outduel Greinke in a 1-0 Fenway classic last year, and he was dynamite.
Play ball.

Cocktail parties are your chance to experiment with a fun, flirty twist on a basic ponytail. Since these types of soirees take place at the six o'clock hour, many women make a mad dash from the office with little time to do a complete after-hours makeover. All there's time for is a simple makeup touch-up and quick hairstyle change. It doesn't get much simpler than the cocktail party ponytail, which we've given an elegant, disheveled spin. Try on cocktail party hairstyles in our virtual hairstyle studio. Cocktail parties call for a spontaneous hairstyle, so don't fret over untamed tendrils: slightly undone is in. To do your ponytail in a devil-may-care fashion, create a deep side part and tease the hair at the crown with a comb to create height at the back of your head (flat hairstyles look boring and lifeless). Create a low ponytail at the nape of your neck, softly covering your ears. For a creative twist on the basic pony, pin up the ends of the tail in a loop or pull the tail halfway through the elastic on the final loop (cover the elastic by wrapping a few strands of hair around it). If you choose to let the hair hang out in classic fashion, shake the ponytail wildly with your fingers to give it an imperfect finish.

Here's a series of videos from Planned Parenthood that advocate the need to "take care down there." With comical videos that debate the whether or not one must spew in order to pass on a STD, the benefits of masturbation, the importance of communication or how to apply a squirt skirt, Planned Parenthood gets its message across without seeming too heavy handed or overly creepy. OK, well the teacher dude is pretty creepy here but he seems to have all the answer.

HPV-related oral cancers rise among younger menApril 14, 2008
Hopkins doctor credited with linking tumors and sexually transmitted virus posted on Baltimore Sun By Stephanie Desmon | Sun reporter April 14, 2008 The sexually transmitted virus that causes cervical cancer in women has now been linked to an uptick of throat, tonsil and tongue cancers – in a younger and healthier group of patients than doctors have ever seen before. These head and neck cancers were once the scourge of older men – mostly the result of lifetimes of heavy smoking and drinking. The treatments often left victims disfigured. But with those cases on the decline, doctors are seeing a new group of victims. They're men in their 40s, and even 30s, whose cancer is brought on by the increasingly common human papillomavirus (HPV). It's an infection that more than half of Americans will encounter during their lifetimes. And researchers now believe that the increase in certain oral cancers can be traced to the spread of the virus through oral sex. Read more. Image information. Read related post.

The straightforward case for the individual mandate is that uninsured individuals will eventually impose costs on others when they're treated in the emergency room (and elsewhere), and their unpaid bills are recovered via higher health insurance rates. Lawyers criticizing this argument before the Supreme Court, as well as a few sympathetic SC Justices, claimed that this goes on all the time in markets, e.g., if some people stop buying a particular good or service, its cost and price may rise because economies of scale are lost.
This is certainly true, but the conservatives' stress on externalities, cross-subsidies, and free riding in many markets other than health care, while it may be a good argument against the uniqueness of the health care/insurance market, it could also be read as an acknowledgement of the widespread inefficiency/ineffectiveness of real-world markets in general. Insofar as many real-world markets fall far short of the competitive ideal, one could conclude, not that the health care/insurance market shouldn't be regulated, but that many other markets should be regulated in order to reduce cost-shifting, free riding, and the other unwanted outcomes.

How to Survive Grief When Your Loved One Dies
Life is unpredictable, sometimes we are happy sometimes we are lonely, but no matter what life might offer, let us face tomorrow with bliss, hope and love.
How to overcome sorrow and loneliness when the person you love dies. Angst seem imminent especially when you are at the lowest point of life when someone you love succumbed to illness, accident or tragedy. A twist of fate will surely cast a deep pain and sorrow, heart pounding it can be, it will surely leave a deep wound that will heal indefinitely depending on who experiences it react. This nature of man is normal though, it is our way of showing our genuine love and compassion to the person that made a lasting memorable moments in our life and the only thing what leave us, is the fond memories to treasure. You will surely reminisce all the unforgettable time shared with the deceased love one, as you recall great things you had with, through thick and thin, through great laughter and loneliness, and alas, through success and failures.
Grief is normal to occur especially to the bereaved ones, and the author of this hub is indeed grieving with the people that is now facing difficult times trying to shake-off the trauma brought by the feeling of losing someone. Two years ago, I also experienced the same feeling especially when I lost my childhood sister, she is not a perfect sister one could wish to have with, but still the great things we've shared will forever have a space in my heart and mind. She was a victim of injustice wherein his husband deserted her in lieu of her mistress and what is more painful is that he was an irresponsible father to his two children, and adding salt to the injury my sister died as she experienced excruciating pain trying to overcome the stomach cancer she had extracted. This was a truly painful experience our family must go through, for my sister was healthy and bubbly then, but her cancer reduced her to a pulp, she was so skinny as if she is malnourished. The cancer that struck my sister was menacing and I pity my sister so much, I wish I could bear the pain with her. The trials she had undergone is also adding to great pain and hurt, what a husband that she had... Ungrateful, my sister's husband done a lot of unfairness in life and I feel sorry for him for I know what he had done to my sister will always bother him while he lives.
Here are some symptoms of grieving that could happen to a bereaved person:
1. Initial shock, disbelief, denial, emotional numbness, guilt feelings and anger are the initial reactions of people who suffered a loss of love one.
2. Signs of acute grief may consists of: memory loss, extreme fatigue, erratic moods, indecisiveness, tend to keep on crying spontaneously, changes in appetite which can result to weight reduction or gain, disturbing health, inability to work with efficiency, lethargic and hallucinations of seeing, feeling and hearing the deceased loved one, irrational resentment can be seen to your spouse with the loss of a child.
3. Sadness with mix of nostalgia, recalling great memories of the deceased spiced with humor.
Here are some deaths of love one that could cause trauma:
1. Most mothers that experienced miscarriage and stillbirths will likely experience terrible trauma. The frustrations they have, might escalate if she feels that her husband do not sympathize with her.
Normal as it is, husband might not feel the same sympathy the way his partner does; although he is also feeling grief and feel sorry with the fate that occurred unexpectedly. In this trying times, the husband and wife should suffer together and share their grief to settle any differences with how they feel with the loss of the child. Hiding sorrow in the part of the husband may cause severe anxiety as far as the wife is concerned.
Empathy could be the key to cushion the impact of facing and dealing with the death of a child, and it should be shared equally within the couple.
2. Losing a spouse will often cause trauma, and the pain it could inflict depends on how deep the couple lived together happily throughout the years of how much they shared love, care and compassion. Sincere friends could play a vital role to a bereaved person. Seek comfort in your friends, talk to them, seek help and weep with them, these things will help in easing out the pain that is shattering your heart with grief (that is always capable of subduing the fainted one).
Here are some tips that could help a bereaved person overcome grief
1. Rely on friends - Real friends in times of troubles or not, will always be ready to lend a helping hand and will not hesitate to give you comfort through kind words and deeds, that will indeed give the much-needed lift to help you pull through.
2. Don't forget to take good care of your health - Prolonged exposure to grief will create bad impact to your well-being, physically and emotionally. Do your best to maintain a healthy diet (even if it is difficult go ahead think of what is what you have recently, your current kids, relatives and friends are still there to give cheers and joys in life). It will also be a good idea to have daily exercise and having enough if not ample rest, for these will help you become persistent and resilient and enduring present and future pain.
3. The art of doing nothing -The beginning of grief is indeed one of the most difficult situation one should encounter and this stage it makes the bereaved person lackadaisical with decisions that should be made. Major decisions should be delayed or postponed for now. Remember that this is the time where all of your guards are at its lowest and you might create decisions that you will regret later. Hard decisions like selling properties or making tough and very vital decisions should be done later in life and the way to do it is to take your time. Make firm decisions when the smoke of battle with grief died down, and when you think you are ready to face the world with a smile on your face (which is difficult to do though) and very capable and sharp just like before, this is the ripe time to make those important decisions.
3. Have patience - Grief will lasts longer if you are exposed to the things that might hinder the healing process, and will remind you of a deceased love one. Pictures with fond memories, songs, smells and other things that might cause rivers of tears to flow. It should be you which can decide whether to keep them or not, but as far as I'm concerned suppressing them from your sight might be helpful.
4. Stay away from vices especially vices - Shun away from drugs (prescribed ones) or alcohol, these craps will only give you temporary relief. You have to hold the bull by its horn, in other words, don't let grief topple you face it with sheer might, patience and endurance, not by finding solace with medication and/or alcohol which can only delay the hurtful grieving process.
5. Live life just like the good old days - C'mon go out from your lair avoid getting shellacked will yah. Hang out with dear friends, or perhaps do some gardening, shopping and engaging with interesting and exciting activities that will lessen the pain brought by grieving. Keep yourself busy and this is one way of escaping the grip of angst, that is grief, so as to speak.
6. Unleash acute grief with sheer might - Release the pain you have but keep the fond memories.
7. Move on - Last but definitely not the least, worry no more, things will fall the way you want it to be and this is indeed doable. Move on and worry no more. Life is worth living.
I hope this hub would help in a way...
As this piece is a tribute to the two Great Hubbers who were bereaved with the loss of loved one and to my Sister whom we missed so much already at home. My sincere condolence to the two of you great Hubbers...

Excellent advice. For me, personally, after losing my son I just wanted to be alone to try and work my way through it -- social situations were too hard for me. He passed away a year ago today and my heart is still so heavy -- I've had to recognize one never, ever gets over losing a child but one can learn to live with it. It's amazing the resourcefulness of the human mind. Great Hub and voted up. Best, Sis

God forbid that happens, I will shun away and try to be as far as possible from frequent reminders for a while. I have a small heart and I might die if I sit to remember and grieve... Well written hub GH. Appreciate your efforts.
Great advice, GH. This is perhaps the toughest subject we as a people must endure in life. You said it best here:
Life is worth living.
Great hub, my friend.

Borders for Your Crazy Quilts: Piano Key Border
Cindy Thury Smith © 2009
|Home - Articles - Readers' Showcase - Novices - Search-
| In this second installment of Borders for Your Crazy Quilts, we will
learn about the piano key border. A PK Border is just like it sounds: a
border made of equal
width, high contrast strips that resemble the keys on a piano. An example of a PK border is below. Please note in the illustration that an inner border has
been added to the quilt top to separate the PK border from the quilt top.
An example of a PK border on a crazy quilt can be seen at the following URL: www.road2ca.com/2004winners3.html; you will need to scroll down to the bottom of the page. This quilter inserted pieced fan blocks in the corners of her borders.
If we adhered strictly to the above description of a PK border (equal width strips, high contrast) it would not look well next to crazy pieced blocks; too much regimentation next to the randomness of crazy piecing. We will have to adapt this border slightly to make it less rigid. For instance, you could vary the widths of the strips and you wouldnt have to strictly adhere to a light/dark alternating contrast. We would still want to keep the strips parallel to the length of the border; this will give us two options for turning the border around the corners of the quilt:
(1) insert a pieced block in the corners, or
Planning a Piano Key Border
After you have squared up your crazy pieced quilt top and added an inner border (and checked that your top is still square), you can start planning your PK border.
First, you need to decide how deep you want the border. I usually do not use any strips narrower than ¾" nor wider than 3. Your PK border should be deeper than the widest cut strip so that the strips will look rectangular. I usually make the PK border at least 5 deep, but you can try out different depths by laying them next to your quilt top and seeing what looks good to you.
Next you need to decide if you want to sew in a block in the corners of your border, or do you want to miter the corners. This will affect how long the foundation for your border needs to be cut.
If you were to sew many strips together without a foundation, the resulting border would have some stretch in it, and it could ripple. By stitching your strips onto a foundation you really stabilize the border, and then when you sew it onto your quilt top you have stabilized the edges of the quilt.
I like to piece my borders on featherweight sew-in interfacing. It is lightweight and inexpensive and will not ravel if you trim it. I usually cut the (desired depth + 3) by the (desired length + 6)(3 on each end). This 3 is to allow a little shrinkage when you sew all the strips to the foundation. The extra depth is so you can trim a clean edge on the inner and outer edge of the border before you sew it to the quilt top.
So if I wanted a 5 deep PK border and the side of my quilt is 45 and I am going to insert a block in the corners of the borders, I would cut the foundation piece 8 x 51.
If I wanted to miter the corner on the PK border, then I would have to add in the finished width of the border to both ends of the length of the foundation:
5 border + 45 side of + 5 border + 6 shrinkage = 61 x 8 cut size of width the quilt width the foundation strip.
Dividing Your Fabrics
When I am doing borders using leftover fabrics from my quilt top, I start by dividing the fabrics into four piles .a pile for each side of the quilt top. The reason you do this is so the fabrics/colors are distributed evenly over your borders. Otherwise you may end up using all your blue fabrics in one border and that will be glaringly obvious when you step back and view it from a distance.
If I have a chunk of fabric left over I try to cut at least four strips from it so it will appear at least once on each side of the quilts borders. If I have a large chunk of fabric to work with I will cut several different widths from it, for instance ¾ wide, 1 wide, 1 ½ wide, 1 ¾ wide, 2 wide, etc.
Once you have your fabrics cut into varying width strips you will divide them up into four piles. I usually use a Post It note to identify each border, and indicate the position and length, for instance, Left Vertical 61. This is especially helpful if your quilt is not square, in which case two of your borders will be shorter and will therefore need fewer strips. So if you had six strips of a particular print, you would put one strip in each pile, and then put the extra strips into the piles for the two longer borders.
I have always found it much easier to cut all the strips (including more than you think you will need) at one time, sort them, and then sew them, rather than to run out of fabric strips and have to stop and cut more.
What do you do if you have orphan fabric strips? These are fabrics that you only have one or two strips of. After I have sorted out all the other strips of repeating fabrics I will scatter the orphans amongst the four border piles. You are now ready to begin sewing the fabric strips onto your long foundation strips.
Sewing the Fabric Strips Onto the Foundation Pieces
I usually start by finding the middle of the border and, using an acrylic ruler, I lightly draw a guideline so the first strip applied is straight across the width of the border. I also draw other guidelines every 10 or so to keep the strips straight as I work down the length of the border.
Start with a wider piece in the center of the border. This allows you to sew a strip on each side of the first piece so every time you go over to the sewing machine you will be sewing two strips onto the foundation, and then pressing two strips on the ironing board, laying down another two strips to sew, etc.
Sew the strips on using the sew and flip method, making sure to press each piece flat using an iron (finger pressing is not enough). To get a really nice flat border you should use an iron to press each seam.
As you get within 3-4 from the corners of your border, give the entire border a good pressing so it lies really flat. Measure from your center guideline and make a mark on each end of the foundation strip so you know where to piece up to. You will probably notice the foundation strip has shrunk up a little due to all the seams sewn on it.
If you are planning on adding a square at the end of the border in the corner, you can continue sewing strips on, preferably ending with a slightly wider strip to which you will sew the corner block.
If you planning on mitering the corners of the border you will continue piecing on strips, but at the inner miter corner you should sew on a wide strip, at least 2 wide. This is because when you are trying to miter that inner corner and you are manipulating the fabrics you dont want to be contending with the added bulk of a seam allowance. You want that inner miter point to fall in the middle of a wide strip so it will turn and press very flat. As you can see in the photo below, I inserted a wide beige strip at that inner miter point.
After you have sewn all the fabric strips to your foundation, carefully cut a clean (inner) top edge to your border. Use this cleanly cut new edge to measure out and cut a clean outer edge parallel to the inner edge. If you are using blocks in the corner again measure from the center guideline, and cut your two short edges. If you are mitering the border corners you would cut your miter angles now. Tip: I usually cut a ½ seam allowance for the miter seam; this is so I can press that mitered seam allowance open and flat.
Don't Make This Mistake!
You should sew your borders in the order they will be sewn onto the quilt. Why?
Take a look at the two pieces of a mitered PK border shown below. Do you see the mistake?
I used several of the same fabrics in the same sequence on both pieces of the miter angle. Our eyes look at this repeated sequence and think these fabric strips should line up, should turn and change direction at the same points in the mitered seam. So it looks like a glaring mistake whether viewed up close or from a distance. You can avoid this by using the mitered angle of one border strip to plan the fabrics as they will appear in the adjoining border strip. You will still start sewing on fabric strips in the middle of the border, but you can have the fabric strips laid out for the end of the border.
Edge of the Piano Key Border
Obviously, you can have a straight edge to your PK border. Or, by making your PK border deeper, you can use a curving acrylic ruler to cut a curved edge that will be bound using bias edging as shown in the illustration below. If I had it to do over again I would have used more gentle curves on this border.
Embellishing Your Piano Key Border
I like using lots of prints, so my PK borders are pretty busy. If I were a
wonderful hand embroiderer (like many of you are) I would use more solid
strips in my PK border and then I could do SRE or other embellishing in the

Outside the ground, the federal police had found three explosive packages the day before, planted by a German man who reportedly wanted to blackmail the authorities. Inside, the stage was set for the mother of all implosions. The most epic fail in the history of the Bundesliga. A collapse so spectacular that spontaneous human combustion would no longer be a disputed phenomenon.
Dortmund, designated champions for six months or so, were 1-0 down at home to Hannover 96 with a little more than 30 minutes to go. The goalkeeper Roman Weidenfeller and his defenders had completely missed a corner, allowing Mohammed Abdellaoue to pounce at the far post. The nightmare that Uli Hoeness had mischievously predicted – "If I was wearing black and yellow underwear, I wouldn't be sleeping soundly", the Bayern president had said, creating an image too uncomfortable to contemplate much further – was coming true.
Dortmund's Grand Canyon-sized, 14-point gap from the end of February would be down to a tiny, easily lost lead of four, if Leverkusen won their match, which they did, 1-0 away over Kaiserslautern. Dortmund were caught in a trap of their own making: Mirko Slomka's modestly equipped side were out-Dortmunding them here. Aggressive pressing in midfield and lots of defensive sprints disturbed Borussia's rhythm and sowed further seeds of doubt.
This. Can't. Be. Happening.
But then a young kid picks up the ball in midfield and just starts running. Four, five Hannover players can't get near him. He ignores them, skips past them, leaves them for dead. Then he's one--on-one with the 96 keeper, Florian Fromlowitz. One final nanosecond of doubt. Time to think. Time to get it wrong. Luckily for Mario Götze, though, the Hannover defender Karim Haggui makes up just enough ground to slide in from behind and force the 18-year-old into an early, low shot into the right-hand corner. Maybe he even gets something on it. Haggui's late, futile intervention is the only small blemish on a sensational goal that changes everything and nothing. Dortmund instantly snap back into normal operating mode. This is their game now, their title. Twenty-four minutes and three more strikes made from creativity, pace and clarity later, Dortmund have won 4-1. And the league, surely. Seven points clear, six games to go.
"Götze's goal opened up our buttons," Jürgen Klopp said. The 43-year-old pleaded "in the interest of German football" with reporters not to hype up his young player's exploits too much but knew this was a battle he was about to lose. His own side made sure of it. "We don't call him Götzinho in the dressing room for nothing," said Mats Hummels. "He's on a different planet," said Nuri Sahin. "If he continues playing like that, we'll probably see him [play] somewhere else," said Kevin Großkreutz, even more off-message. Bild has predictably linked him with Manchester United and Barcelona.
In print, the verdicts were similar. "He's not just the talent of a century, he's a white Brazilian," wrote Neue Ruhr Zeitung, while Süddeutsche had seen "a small work of art, a homage to Lionel Messi".
Most charmingly, the son of a data technology university professor made sure to remember someone else in his moment of triumph. He lifted up his shirt. It said "Dede 17" underneath, a reference to Dortmund's veteran Brazilian left-back who's been unable to get into this young side after picking up an injury in the summer and will probably leave at the end of the season. Both hugged on the touchline and the 32-year-old was jumped upon again after Grosskreutz's fourth goal. "He's really a fine human being," Götze explained. "He's helped me tremendously when I got into the team."
Dede was visibly touched. "It was the most emotional day of my football career," he said, promising that his next contract would contain a clause that freed him from ever playing against Dortmund in the Westfalenstadion.
This should be the last time his team-mates had to face their demons, too. Thanks to Götze, "Borussia have overcome the crisis before it had begin in earnest", wrote Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung. The rest of the season will be a countdown to the celebrations.
Talking Points
• Defeat for Didier Ya Konan's team was put into sharp perspective for the Hannover striker. Five hours before kick-off, the 27-year-old Ivorian received a call from his distressed parents who told him that their house in Abidjan had been destroyed by rebels. "They smashed up everything," Ya Konan told Bild. His parents were safe in Accra, Ghana, he said but didn't deny that the situation had affected him. After the match, he wore a T-shirt with the slogan "God please give peace to the Ivory Coast".
• Violence, albeit on a much smaller scale, marred St Pauli's match against Schalke 04. The assistant referee Thomas Schiffner was hit on the back of a head by a plastic beer cup, with the home side 2-0 down and three minutes to go. The referee, Deniz Ayetkin, abandoned the game instantly. The Pauli coach, Holger Stanislawski, sincerely apologised for the actions of "a total honk" but the German FA is expected to fine heavily the relegation battlers and possibly ban all fans from attending the next home game against Werder Bremen. A 43-year-old has been arrested and bailed in relation to the offence. Schiffner is OK and the result will stand. The unsavoury incident reveals a worrying trend towards aggressive, unruly behaviour in German stands, even at the self-styled alternative club St Pauli.
• The best that could be said about the Südkurven supporters' actions in Munich on Saturday was that they refrained from physical violence but that made their lapse of judgment only slightly more palatable. While the Bayern players sleepwalked through an important 1-0 win over bottom-feeders Gladbach (Arjen Robben, 77) the third-placed club needs Champions League qualification to stave off all sorts of trouble – the hardcore crowd behind the goal seemed equally uninterested in proceedings on the pitch. A series of carefully choreographed protests continued the campaign against the imminent transfer of Schalke goalkeeper Manuel Neuer and took the president, Uli Hoeness, to task for his readiness to help financially embattled neighbours TSV 1860 Munich.
In order to save the second division team from bankruptcy, Hoeness had agreed to lower rates for catering fees – 1860 pay rent to Bayern who fully own the Allianz Arena – and allowed them to defer existing debts. The Bayern fans childishly begrudged Hoeness this eminently sensible gesture – the stadium would lose money without the Blues – and called him a liar for reneging on earlier promises not to support their rivals.
A few days before, blue paint had also been daubed on Bayern's headquarters. The rights and wrongs of Bayern's stance are up for debate and obviously fraught with emotions. Neutrals might think that their help amounts to little more than charity since they were able to acquire 1860's 50% share in the €340m arena for €11m, at a fraction of the market rate, in 2006. (1860 had foolishly signed over their shares as collateral for a loan from their wealthier rivals).
But there's no question the unbearably self-important, grossly vulgar manner of the personal attacks – "Blue pigs should be slaughtered. You're supposed to be butcher, Uli", read one banner – went too far. "It's a total disgrace," said Christian Nerlinger. "This vitriol is inappropriate for a man who's not anything but Bayern in his heart and his head for 30 years."
Results: St Pauli 0-2 Schalke 04*, Bayern 1-0 Gladbach, Bremen 1-1 Stuttgart, Dortmund 4-1 Hannover, Mainz 1-1 Freiburg, Kaiserslautern 0-1 Leverkusen, Hoffenheim 0-0 Hamburg, Köln 1-0 Nürnberg, Wolfsburg 1-1 Frankfurt.

The problem of vagueness stems from the sorites paradox. A heap of sand cannot be turned into a non-heap by removing a single grain of sand. A short person cannot become tall by growing one millimeter. Someone who is sober cannot become drunk by ingesting one-tenth of a milliliter of alcohol. These conditionals hold regardless of what we take as our starting conditions. But if this is true, we can iterate the conditionals many times over, until we can prove that one grain of sand makes a heap, an 8-ft. tall man isn't tall, and someone who's just ingested a liter of alcohol is sober.
This ancient paradox has become one of the toughest puzzles in contemporary metaphysics and philosophical logic. During our conversation, Professor Timothy Williamson explains and rejects a few approaches, including supervaluationism, fuzzy logic, nihilism, and contextualism. His preferred solution, known as epistemicism, is much simpler: all vague predicates have a precise cutoff point – we just can't know where it is. Williamson supports this counterintuitive view with compelling accounts of meaning and knowledge. Meaning, he explains, is determined in part by aggregate use; since we cannot know all of the factors of aggregate use, we cannot know the exact meanings of vague terms. From this, we can infer that there are many cases in which we know something but do not know that we know it.

Durty Events from the Scottish Borders, organisers of award winning multi-sport events in Scotland, have today (19 December 2012) announced that, from 05 to 07 September 2013, they will be staging a revised and revamped Hebridean Challenge, one of the UK's most legendary and demanding adventure races.
The Hebridean Challenge or 'The Heb', as it is affectionately known, is an expedition style multi-discipline, multi-day adventure race through the most spectacular, wild and remote landscape the UK has to offer - the Outer Hebridean island chain off the west coast of Scotland. Though the course is yet to be finalised organisers are looking to include Harris, North Uist, Benbecula, South Uist, Eriskay and Vatersay on the route.
From a secret start location on 05 September 2013 to the finish on the Island of Barra, three days later, teams of three or solo athletes will be expected to navigate their way to various checkpoints along a 420km (approx) route with mountain biking, off-road running, open water swimming and kayaking sections along the way. Navigation and logistics, route choice, teamwork, strategy, endurance and the weather will all be key to success. There will be plenty of surprises and additional challenges thrown into the mix and athletes will definitely need to be ready for anything.
Adventure racers will be racing for long days but, to make it more achievable for all, they will stop each night within one of the island communities (typically at a village hall or school). Organisers will provide a meal, water and a place to pitch a tent for a good night's sleep before racing resumes the following morning. Post-race there will be a 'Heb' Party laid on in Castlebay on the Isle of Barra where competitors and everyone involved in the event will have the chance to celebrate their achievements together.
Paul McGreal from Durty Events, organisers of the all new Hebridean Challenge said: "The new Heb will be easy to take part in, but still a tough challenge - less logistical fuss, less cost, less hassle and less time than in its previous guises; but definitely packed full of all the adventure, excitement and fun that the event is renowned for.
"We want everyone to have a great time, finish at a reasonable point each evening, and bite off as much as they can chew (and hopefully a little bit more). We have therefore designed the all new Heb in such a way that it will be perfect for hardened adventure racers, works and office teams and fit and active people wanting to give adventure racing a go for the first time in the most stunning locations in Scotland."
Paul McGreal will be joined in the organisation of the all new Hebridean Challenge by Gary Tompsett as course planner. Since 2001 Gary has been involved in the conceptualisation, ground planning and race directorship of every major adventure race to be staged in Scotland. These events include The Hebridean Challenge 2001, Red Bull Northern Exposure 2002, Adrenalin Rush 2003 and 2004, Wilderness ARC 2005 and 2006, Wilderness ARC 2007 - The Adventure Racing World Championships and The Adidas Terrex 2012. Gary is well known for audacious and flamboyant adventure planning, sometimes quirky, often challenging, always entertaining.
Entries are now open for The Heb by Durty Events. Entry Fees for 2013 cost from £890 for teams of three and from £330 for solos with an early bird discount. For further information on entering the all new Hebridean Challenge and what the entry fee includes go to: http://www.theheb.org/entry.html.

Arsene Wenger has played down reports linking him with the vacant England manager position but admits he can sing the national anthem.
The Arsenal boss rebuffed the FA's advances in the summer following Roy Hodgson's dismissal, but Wembley chiefs are ready to make another beeline for him as they look to appoint a successor for disgraced Sam Allardyce.
After leading the Gunners to a 2-0 Champions League win over Basle at the Emirates on Wednesday night, Wenger was asked if he felt flattered to be linked with the England job and replied: 'Of course. But my priority has always been this club. Until the end of this season I'm here.'
The Frenchman also admitted that he knows the words to the National Anthem and added: 'The English game is always full of surprises.'
Gareth Southgate has been placed in interim charge for the next four games, but there is still a significant swell of support for Wenger at the FA.

Jesus allowed Lazarus to die "for the glory of God" that He might raise him from the dead. In the sign of Lazarus coming back to life again, Jesus proclaimed Himself to be the Lord of life. He is the conqueror of death because He is the source of forgiveness. Since sin brings death and separation from God, where there is forgiveness of sins there must also be life and salvation. Jesus, therefore, confesses to Martha, "I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live. And whoever lives and believes in Me shall never die." In today's Gospel, Jesus' healing of the man born blind and the subsequent excommunication of this man from the Temple illustrates the contrast between penitent faith in Christ and the blindness of unbelief. Those who believed that they could see were really blind because they refused to heed the call to repentance. Those who can truly see are not those who have no sin, but those who acknowledge their sin in repentant faith that cling to Christ. The man born blind became a disciple of Jesus because of the spiritual miracle that opened up his eyes to see who He really was and that Christ alone was His Savior.
Confirmation Questioning and Reception Join us for the Junior Questioning is at 3:00 pm on Palm Sunday (April 1). A reception for this years confirmands will be held at 4:30 pm.

The Cross and Passion of Our Lord Are the Hour of His Glory
"Behold, your King is coming to you . . . humble and mounted on a donkey" (Zech. 9:9–12; Mt. 21:1–9). Our Lord rides in this humble fashion because He is entering Jerusalem to humble Himself even to the point of death on a cross (Phil. 2:5–11). His kingly crown will not be made of gold but of thorns, the sign of sin's curse. For His royal reign is displayed in bearing this curse for His people, saving us from our enemies by sacrificing His own life. The sinless One takes the place of the sinner so that the sinner can be freed and bear the name "Barabbas," "son of the Father" (Matthew 26 and 27). It is at the name of this exalted Savior, Jesus, that we bow in humble faith. With the centurion who declared, "Truly this was the Son of God!" (Mt. 27:54), we are also given to confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father (Phil. 2:11).

Jonathan Brogaard, a Ph.D. candidate at Northwestern University's Kellogg School of Management, who has studied high-frequency trading in great detail, has concluded that high-frequency trading only makes the markets more efficient. Golden Networking's High-Frequency Trading Experts Workshop 2010 (http://www.HFTExpertsWorkshop.com), "Practical Implementation of High-Frequency Trading Strategies", Hong Kong, November 22 & 23 and New York, December 9 & 10, will provide attendees with more details on how high-frequency trading works in practice to generate alpha and make the markets more efficient at the same time.
Mr. Brogaard's research examines the impact of high frequency trading (HFT) on the U.S. equities market. He analyzed a unique dataset to study the strategies utilized by high frequency traders (HFTs), their profitability, and their relationship with characteristics of the overall market, including liquidity, price discovery, and volatility. The 26 HFT firms in the dataset participate in 73.7% of all trades. According to his research, and contrary to what is believed, HFT increases liquidity in the markets. HFT is an integral part of the price discovery process and price efficiency, he says in his final report. Among his conclusions, he lists:
1. HFTs tend to follow a price reversal strategy driven by order imbalances.
2. HFTs earn gross trading profits of approximately $2.8 billion annually.
3. HFTs do not seem to systematically engage in a non-HFTs anticipatory trading strategy.
4. HFTs' strategies are more correlated with each other than are non-HFTs.
5. HFTs' trading level changes only moderately as volatility increases.
6. HFTs add substantially to the price discovery process.
7. HFTs provide the best bid and offer quotes for a significant portion of the trading day and do so strategically so as to avoid informed traders, but provide only one-fourth of the book depth as do non-HFTs.
8. HFTs may dampen intraday volatility. These findings suggest that HFTs' activities are not detrimental to non-HFTs and that HFT tends to improve market quality.

Beauty tips for busy moms are a great way to look your best without investing time you don't have to spare. When I look bad on the outside, I kinda feel bad on the inside.
Before I had kids, I used to have an image in my head of what a 'mom' looked like. She was a fashion trend or two behind the times and more worried about the next toddler tantrum than her personal appearance.
But there are a few simple ways being a mom can look more fabulous and less frazzled.

For a look at the legacy of Pope John Paul II in Africa, Voice of America contacted Father Peter John Pearson. He?s director of government and parliament relations for the Southern African Catholic Bishops Conference. From Cape Town, he spoke to English to Africa reporter Joe De Capua about the accomplishments of the pontiff.
?Well I think there are two things you need to remember," said Father Pearson. "He wasn?t the first pope to come to Africa. Pope Paul came earlier in the late 60?s to Uganda. But Pope John Paul II has traveled extensively in Africa?So he?s been a pope who?s experienced first hand the trials and tribulations, but also the joys of Africa. He?s the one who has understood through personal immersion into the realities of Africa, some of the issues around Africa. And that?s been reflected in a number of his statements over the years, especially around development issues, around justice, around peace, around keeping a standard of hope alive. So, that?s one incredibly important heritage, legacy, that he leaves an involvement in Africa,? he recalled.
In 1994, the pontiff called a synod on Africa. ?This was a sign of the mature understanding he had of Africa," said Father Pearson, "that he called a synod of bishops from all parts of Africa to deliberate on the issues of Africa and to find a faith lens through which to understand it and begin to propose solutions."
