Diabetes Drug to Be Removed From Shelves
Beginning in November, the popular diabetes drug, Avandia, will be removed from your local pharmacy's shelves, the federal government said Tuesday.
The new program will take effect November 18, at which point only certified doctors may prescribe the drug and only patients who know the risks and are filling their prescription through the mail from specific pharmacies may receive the drug, USA Today reported.
A 2007 analysis published by Nissan showed the diabetes drug increased the risk of heart attack by about 40 percent in type 2 diabetes patients, who already have a heightened risk of heart attacks because of the disease.
FDA drug-safety expert David Graham told an advisory committee in 2007 that Avandia had caused heart problems, including deaths, in 66,000 to 200,000 people.
Avandia is the trade name for the drug rosiglitazone, which is on the market as part of the combination drugs Avandamet and Avandaryl. Nearly half a million patients in the USA filled prescriptions for these products from January through October of 2010.
Avandia was approved in 1999 to decrease blood-sugar levels in people with type 2 diabetes.
Type 2 diabetes affects about 23 million Americans.

Nothing says "Classic Orlando" like the Nickelodeon Studios Tour that was at Universal Studios and, for many, a large part of that tour was the Game Lab. This Nickelodeon-style live action game show lab showcased an ever-evolving set of over-the-top games.
Now mix Game Lab with a more retro TV game show vibe, throw in a pizza party and you have Orlando's latest dinner show experience, Game On!.
Sleuths Mystery Dinner Shows, the 25-year dinner show veteran of I-Drive, just launched this brand new dinner theater option where guests dine on all-you-can-eat pizza, while taking part in various retro-themed games of skill and knowledge.
Trying out games for our new gameshow! #gameonatsleuth https://t.co/PCpgeEn6nE— Game On At Sleuths (@Gameonatsleuths) June 9, 2016
The new concept is the latest from game show creator Bob Brandenburg, who helped develop the Nickelodeon Studios Tour Game Lab. Brandenburg is joined by other live game show veterans Brian Tierney, Maria Ragen and Joy Belding-Gagne. Most of them have spent time at the now rebranded Nick Hotel resort, where a daily live version of Double Dare took place.
The show at Sleuths might not have any of the trademarked slime but it has plenty to help put diners into the "golden age of television." Diners can partake in unlimited pizza and unlimited beer/wine, along with a salad and cookies.
Game On! is at 8:00 PM on select nights at Sleuths Mystery Dinner Shows in Kings Bowl plaza next to the Orlando Eye.
Pricing for the Game On! dinner show are $31.95 for adults and $19.95 for children (ages 3-11). A combo ticket for Ripley's Believe It or Not and Game On! can be purchased online.
Sadly, for now, there is no giant talking temple heads in the show.

Join me at WEDDING MBA this October! The conference that makes a huge difference for my business every year.
I'm a planner and designer. Pursuing my dreams and sharing my love of the industry with others since 2011. I'm the owner of Neira Event Group, I'm in love with my entrepreneurial life and last but not least, a lover of chai lattes. I was born in Lima, Peru where events were always a big part of my family's weekends (gatherings are in my blood! haha)
I created Planner in Training as a place where wedding professional can come to learn from other aspects of the wedding and event industry. I wanted to chat with amazing pros from all over the world to not only learn more myself but also help others reach their goals in their own busineses.
I hope you give it a listen, and if you have any suggestions feel free to reach out.
When I'm not working you can find me hangin' with my husband, Dennis and my fur child, Marcelle watching tv or traveling.

Ok so I've obviously failed the blog challenge so I'm back to just posting bout food! So last night I decided to cook, which is bad because it's been awhile. I made Kenyan Kale and Tomatoes, garlic broccoli and then a tofu shallot salad from Whole Foods.
I know it all looks the same on the plate but all three flavors are distinctive and awesome. The kale and tomatoes were soft and delightful whereas the broccoli was still crispy and pungent and the salad is my favorite one at WF because the dressing is sweet with a tiny hint of spice. Both the dishes I cooked were really easy to make. I decided to make this meal because I knew that Becca would most likely shrug at mere kale and tomatoes as a full meal. Though she's basically vegetarian now, she still has a hard time defining a meal as just veggies. She wants some sort of bread or rice or fake meat to go with it. I am currently trying to stay as gluten-free as possible so it's been a challenge.
This morning I started the Tracey Anderson Method. This is a workout series (I'm ignoring the meal plans as even the vegetarian track is dairy-heavy) that has toned the bodies of such celebs as Gwenyth Paltrow, Courtney Cox and Shakira. So far so good. I'm not too sore so maybe all that personal training is working out after all! However, I have 31 days before my wedding so only time will tell!

Scarlett Johansson, the star of Her who has twice been named world's sexiest woman by Esquire, is rejecting calls by anti-Israel extremists to disassociate herself from SodaStream.
The New York Post reports:
Recent Stories in Culture
As it turns out, SodaStream, the Israel-based booming "make your own soda at home" firm, has a plant in the Jerusalem suburb of Maale Edumim — which is on the "wrong" side of the 1949 ceasefire line. …
The global blame-Israel lobby long ago elevated that line to an almost holy status of "border"; anything Israeli beyond it is really, really bad.
Including SodaStream.
Enter the Boycott, Divest and Sanction crowd. BDS, as it's known, calls for shunning Israel for all of its perceived sins — and knows it gets its best results when it asks for boycotts of "settlements."
The Avengers star has ignored calls to withdraw from the campaign, instead saying that SodaStream's "commitment to a healthier body and a healthier planet is a perfect fit for me."
As the image below suggests, SodaStream's effects on one's health should not be discounted:

Heroin isn't chic - a statement that could not be displayed more clearly than in Loral Amir and Gigi Ben Artzi's project, 'Downtown Divas'. In the 16mm short film and photograph series, the pair took Russian heroin addicts out of their lives for a day and dressed them in the latest designs from Miu Miu, Louis Vuitton, Alexander Wang and more, presenting them to viewers in all their track-marked nakedness.
The result is uncomfortable and puts the viewer on edge as the women switch between lucidity and confusion, looking like lost children. The images show unquestionably candid and devastatingly honest bodies, their skin vivid of the mistakes they've made. Yet they grin innocently as they fiddle with their expensive skirts and pose suggestively in glittered sweaters and draping silver shorts – their price tags sitting at thousands of pounds in value. In some, their naked bodies are on full display, made all the more prominent by their awkward poses.
The women - who were mainly living off their work as street prostitutes – were, on occasion, too high to be photographed. As Loral explained in an interview with Bullett, "There were some girls that we brought to the studio but could not photograph because by the time we arrived, they were already so dope sick that it was just impossible to film them. They were like zombies."
It's akin to the work of Boris Mikhailov, another Eastern European photographer whose images document the true cost of the Soviet utopia as our eyes adjust to the terrifying reality of homelessness, drug abuse and alcohol addiction in a post-Soviet reality.
So what reality are Amir and Artzi trying to convey? Is the message intended to be about the horrors of an ever-present danger of young women working in the sex industry, restraining their liberty by injecting their bodies with a cornucopia of drugs? Or perhaps it goes further and opens our eyes to some shocking truths about the fashion world and its perceived glorification of the heroin chic model, prevalent in the 1990s.
Maybe it was to break down stereotypes; as Loral explained to Bullett: "I also thought it would be interesting to show a different side of the women and ignore that 'drug addict' tag that they carry around." There are unquestionable moral and ethical questions that such a shoot raises; does it glorify drug use and sex work? Is it sensitive to the traumas that the women face? Has it taken advantage of their vulnerability, objectifying their vices for entertainment value?
Regardless of the motivation though, the effect of the images is jarring, touching and not something to be forgotten. The physical impact of their drug use cannot be ignored, however uncomfortable it may make the viewer feel.

View video of Cynthia Grant Bowman, author of Wife Murder in Chicago: 1910-1930
As in all homicide data sets, for any period and in any country, a significant proportion of all homicides are domestic homicides. The largest part of these domestic homicides involve men killing women who are wives or domestic partners. A small fraction involve wives killing husbands.

Senior Nick Hyzak will play at No. 1 singles and No. 3 doubles for Stonehill in tomorrow's first round clash with Adelphi.
Skyhawks make 15th NE-10 Tournament appearance
EASTON, Mass. (April 21, 2014) – Fifth-seeded Stonehill College, ranked ninth in the most recent Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA) Division II East Regional rankings, opens postseason play with a first round clash with fourth-seeded Adelphi University, ranked tenth in the ITA Regional rankings but fifth in the NCAA Division II East Regional rankings, as the 2014 Northeast-10 Conference Tournament gets underway tomorrow at the Adelphi Tennis Courts in Garden City, N.Y., at 2 p.m. In the event of inclement weather, the match will be played indoors at Port Washington Tennis Center at the same time.
Stonehill (12-8, 6-4 NE-10) is making its 15th appearance in the NE-10 Tournament, having captured one championship in 2009 and reaching the championship match twice overall. Adelphi (10-6, 8-2 NE-10) is making its fifth-straight NE-10 tournament appearance since joining the Conference prior to the 2009-10 season. The winner of Tuesday's first round matchup will advance to Thursday's semifinal round to face top-seeded Merrimack College (12-7, 10-0 NE-10), ranked fourth in the NCAA East Regional rankings and fifth in the ITA regional rankings, at North Andover High School at 2 p.m. The NE-10 Championship will be hosted by the top remaining seed on Saturday at 1 p.m.
Stonehill, under the direction of head coach Peter Miller, '75, who has posted a 301-223 (.574) record in his 34 seasons at the helm of his alma mater, is led by a balanced lineup top to bottom. The Skyhawks enter the postseason winners of three of their last four overall, but just two wins over their last six Northeast-10 matches.
Seniors Nick Hyzak (Guilford, Conn./Guilford) and Brett Armstrong (Manville, R.I./Mount Saint Charles Academy) provide leadership for Stonehill having been part of four postseason trips with the Skyhawks. Hyzak is a combined 25-17 in singles and doubles play this season and has won a combined 122 matches over his career. He and junior Jared Drzal (West Sayville, N.Y./Sayville), who have earned All-Northeast-10 third team honors at No. 3 doubles this season have posted a 12-6 record this season, including 7-2 in NE-10 play. Hyzak has gone 10-10 at No. 1 singles for the Skyhawks, including 5-5 in league play.
Senior Brett Armstrong will be in the Skyhawks lineup on Tuesday at Adelphi.
Armstrong, who has won a combined 109 matches over his career, is 21-21 in singles and doubles play this season. He is 11-9 in singles play, including 6-4 in NE-10 play, seeing time at No. 3, 4 and 5 over the course of the year. Armstrong and junior Eric Ringstad (Fairbanks, Alaska/Monroe Catholic) have teamed up at No. 1 doubles for the Skyhawks this season and are 10-12 overall, including 4-6 in the NE-10.
Drzal is an All-Northeast-10 performer for Stonehill at No. 3 doubles with Hyzak, but also No. 6 singles this season. He is a combined 31-10 in singles and doubles play this year, posting a 15-4 singles mark, including an 8-2 mark in the NE-10, to go with his 12-6 doubles record with Hyzak. Ringstad is also a third team All-Conference performer this season at No. 2 singles. He is a combined 22-20 in singles and doubles play this year, posting a 12-8 singles mark, including 6-4 in league play.
Junior Tom Alaimo (North Andover, Mass./Central Catholic) has added strength in the middle of the Stonehill lineup since returning from injury for the second semester. He is a combined 23-7 in singles and doubles play, posting a 12-3 singles clip with a 4-2 mark in the NE-10 at No. 4, while combining with junior Jon Sanders (Holbrook, N.Y./St. Anthony's) for an 11-4 doubles mark, including 3-3 in Conference play. Sophomore Philip Klados (Lake Forest, Calif./Santa Margarita Catholic) rounds out the Skyhawks lineup at No. 3 singles.
Adelphi enters the postseason winners of five of its last six after a 9-0 win at Franklin Pierce University to close out the regular season on Saturday. The Panthers came out on the short end of a three-way tiebreaker with second-seeded Southern New Hampshire University (16-5, 8-2 NE-10) and third-seeded Bentley University (10-7, 8-2 NE-10) that came down to combined match scores between the three.
Junior Tom Alaimo is a combined 23-7 in singles and double play for the Skyhawks this season.
Sophomore Uladzislau Litvinchuk (Brest, Belarus) has earned first team All-Northeast-10 honors for Adelphi at No. 5 singles and No. 2 doubles with classmate Sander Brenner (Port Washington, N.Y./Paul D. Schreiber). Litvinchuk, also an NE-10 All-Rookie team selection, is a combined 23-7 in singles and doubles play this season, posting a 12-2 overall singles record, including 8-0 in NE-10 play, while he and Brenner are 11-4 overall, including an 8-1 NE-10 mark. Brenner competes at No. 1 singles for the Panthers.
Junior Chiwete Njokanma (Lagos, Nigeria), a second team All-Conference performer at No. 4 singles and No. 3 doubles with classmate Justin Vijungco (Forest Hills, N.Y./Forest Hills), is a combined 21-9 in singles and doubles play this season. He and Vijungco have posted a 10-3 doubles mark, including 7-2 in league play, while Njokanma has an 11-3 singles record, including 8-0 against NE-10 opposition. Vijungco, a first team All-NE-10 performer at No. 6 singles, is 12-3 this season, including a 9-0 NE-10 mark.
Tomorrow marks the fourth-straight year Stonehill and Adelphi have met in the first round of the NE-10 Tournament, the second at Adelphi after two-straight years at Charles Watt Courts on the Stonehill campus. The Panthers posted their first postseason victory over the Skyhawks with a 5-2 decision in Easton last spring after Stonehill was victorious in 2011 and 2012. Adelphi posted a 6-3 victory against Stonehill on Long Island in their regular season encounter back on April 5.
Litvinchuk and Njokanma led Adelphi past Stonehill in their regular season encounter. Litvinchuk and Brenner combined for an 8-5 win over Alaimo and Sanders at No. 2 doubles, while Njokanma and Vijungco collected an 8-4 win at No. 3 against Hyzak and Drzal. Litvinchuk followed by rallying for a 3-6, 6-1, 7-6 (7-3) win over Alaimo at No. 4 singles, while Njokanma recorded a 6-3, 7-6 (7-3) win over Armstrong at No. 5. After the Panthers swept the three doubles matches to key the win, Stonehill earned wins at the top three singles flights. Hyzak defeated Brenner in three sets, 6-3, 3-6, 6-0 at No. 1, while Ringstad led junior Ryan Villarruel (Staten Island, N.Y./St. Peter's Boys) 6-0, 3-0 at No. 2 when Villarruel retired due to injury. Klados topped sophomore Sebastian Zapata (Toronto, Ontario/Northview Heights) 6-4, 6-1 at No. 3.

135 drivers hit with lane hogging fines since 2013
A freedom of information investigation has discovered that just 135 on-the-spot fines have been dished out for lane hogging since police were given new powers to prosecute at the roadside in 2013.
The law was introduced in August 2013, giving police officers the power to fine motorists £100 and hit them with three points on their licence for sitting in the middle lane of the motorway.
- Opinion: we need more motorway cameras
- More car news on Motoring Research
Confusingly, of the 45 police forces questioned about the penalties, only 8 were able to give an exact number of lane hoggers they've prosecuted – the rest simply classed it as 'careless driving'.
This offence also covers things like tailgating, undertaking and even driving too slowly – with 1,158 drivers hit with fines for careless driving since 2013. This means the real number of lane hogging fines could be higher, but it still means that only a few hundred lane hoggers are caught each year on average.
The investigation, carried out by Confused.com, mirrors a similar investigation by Motoring Research in 2014 – which found that police on London's orbital motorway, the M25, dished out just 13 lane hogging fines in the first year since the law was introduced.
Confused.com's motoring editor, Amanda Stretton, said: "Middle lanes aren't for coasting in, because this practice can cause congestion and dangerous manoeuvres from other drivers. Not only could you find yourself with a £100 fine or points, but you could put your own life and others at risk."
Research by the website found that almost one in five (19%) drivers say they have never been taught about middle-lane hogging – as motorways are not included in the practical driving test.
This could help explain why 50% of motorists believe that some drivers aren't even aware that they're staying put in the middle lane in the first place.
Worryingly, almost two-fifths (37%) of UK drivers are unaware that middle-lane hogging is an offence punishable by a fine and points on your licence.

Young people and the conscience could do it if there was a revolution like in Paris. But does the young man have the power to do something? It is not so, because it is primitive and primitive, like a finger. The character of one's man is the one who demands. The gender of women is swollen like a finger. A woman, one thing to do, be a good thing, if she is not kidding, she is nothing. And most of the ferfi, just a bloated disciple. Such people do not have anything, and that's a big deal. It was not the sex I was scolding. They are smeared with hormone-treated husses and food but are so primitive they do not come. That's a big deal.

You know that the scenes of the movie where someone gets shot, but are they OK because there was a Bible or something in your pocket acting as body armor? Here's a little experiment with the, uh, modern equivalent. Or maybe just an excuse to shoot a gun in a stack of iPhones.
Popular Mechanics found this little experiment orchestrated by EverythingApplePro, who put a lot of new iPhones and Samsung Galaxy in a line and summarily executed them with an AK-74 sports rifle utility gun. It should not be confused with its more prolific predecessor the AK-47, '74 basically shoots faster and farther.
But if you hate iPhones, or just love watching things destroy, jump at 03:10 when they take out the solid-slug-loaded 12-caliber shotgun.

3CS Technique of the Month - Stamp Carving
This little border will be incorporated into the Baba Yaga Quilt.
The 3CS Technique-of-the-Month is Stamp Carving with Lisa Filion. This tutorial shows the tools and the blocks and gives a really good demo of how to do it.
Here are the skulls I carved into some kind of stamp carving block from Dick Blick. The skull on the right was the first one I tried, but the material crumbled away too much. So I kept it simple for try #2 on the left. Much better results.
Stamped on paper.

Baba Yaga's Cottage
A special Halloween treat! Yes, you are seeing correctly. That cottage is walking around on chicken legs. That is one of the iconic symbols of Baba Yaga!
I have long been a fan of Baba Yaga. But I wasn't always a fan. Indeed, there was a time I tried to avoid her like the plague. But she kept coming around, and would not be denied. "Consider the uses of adversity," says Baba Yaga. I've met a few Baba Yagas in real life, and finally come to terms with them many years later. Now I can appreciate her very important lessons.
Read more about Baba Yaga at some of these sites :
The Vasalisa Project - Bare Bones a Digital Fairy Tale by Joellyn Rock
A modern telling of this old tale. If you don't know the story, or happen to own the storybooks above, you can get the full tale here--online.
Baba Yaga and the Wise Doll
I love this version for a number of reasons, not the least of which is Baba Yaga's toads wearing jeweled vests and collars! If you don't own it, try you local public library, in the Children's section. This little girl even looks like me at that age.
Baba Yaga and Vasalisa the Brave
Another beautifully illustrated children's storybook. Try your local public library.
Vasalisa the Wise - Chapter from Clarisa Pinkola Estes' The Women Who Run with Wolves. This article explains the lessons of Baba Yaga briefly, but do read the original chapter by Estes if you can. It is well worth it--It literally changed my life so many years ago! This is one of my all-time favorite books--ever. I re-read this chapter this week, and it still rings true for me.
PHOTO [little doll sitting stop Baba's house in my sewing room]
I drew the sketch a few years ago. I've transferred it from one Sweet Leaf Notebook to another--all with the intention of making it real one day, presumably with fusible web and applique.
Last month, the 3 Creative Studios Technique-of-the-Month was Thread Sketching with Monika Kinner-Whalen. Someone posted one with white thread on a black background -- like Simon in the Land of Chalk Drawings :
A light went on in my head, and this long-stuck image leaped into a new life as a thread sketch!
It's not quite finished yet, but I couldn't resist posting what I have so far on Halloween Night!
This actually works for the Sketchbook Challenge November Theme : Imaginary Animals. Baba Yaga's house runs around on chicken legs. It must hae been a wild ride for Baba Yaga and any of her guests!

Cranes at Sunset
This is another one of the National Geographic Citrasolv backgrounds. For the cranes, I used a mask from the stencil from this quilt and digitized it. Then in SeaShore 3, I played with the alpha layers and put them together.
Here it is on another one of the NG Citrasolv backgrounds. It kind of looks like the mud from the marsh is pulling them back down.

Siblings Thread Sketch : Sketchbook Challenge - View
Thread Sketch on Hand-dyed Fabric
Size : 9-1/2 x 8-1/2 in.
I did another (much simpler) thread sketch based on this photo my sister took of her kids in Japan this past Spring :
She took this picture after the earthquake in March 2010. The kids were walking in the middle of the street in Ginza during a celebration where kids were allowed to walk in the streets. Having lived through that terrible earthquake, tsunami, and the ensuing nuclear scare, it literally changed their View of life. You can read about my sister's thoughts on it here and here, if you are so inclined. Although many foreigners left Japan at that time, my sister decided to stay.
Here's the initial sketch.
Notes on the Making :
Stitching through the Golden Threads tracing paper worked fine in this sketch as it was not so densely stitched as Elephant Reunion.
I went over all the lines at least twice. I added the heart to frame the kids. They really are heading into the future shaped by this experience. Even though they are too small to remember much, they know the world is different. The Japanese People know the world is different. Not unlike 9-11 after my son was born.
I see the Heart as a Blessing or Protection for them on their journey, so far from family in WI.
Since it is small enough, I decided against any background filler quilting for this one.
For their shadows, I just used a black Sharpie marker to fill in the shapes. I didn't want it to get heavy or distorted with stitch.

Red Barn Quilt No. 2 : Raspberry Cordial Quilt Top
One more project progressed at Quilt Camp last week. I had so many leftover blocks from Unca Ray's Red Barn Quilt, that I decided to make a smaller one for myself. ;-)
Someone at Quilt Camp said it reminded her of chocolate-covered cherries. While these colors may evoke that for her, I have a difficult history with Maraschino cherries. Thus, I had to give it some other name. Hence : Raspberry Cordial.
It needed some filling out, so I added the brown borders. I also did something a little different with the top border ... So I'd easily be able to find the top. (Does it really matter?)
Now, as soon as I can get some more black Hobbs batting, I'll be able to start on the quilting. This one will be small enough to do at home, rather than renting time on the Tin Lizzie. I'm planning to use the same quilting pattern, only this time, I'll trace the pattern to Golden Threads quilting paper, pin baste it, and stitch over the lines.

Elephant Reunion : 3CS Journal Quilt Challenege - Technique of the Month
Elephant Reunion
Thread Sketch on hand-dyed fabric
Size is about 9 x 12 inches.
Notes on the Making :
The language of friendship is not words but meanings.
~Henry David Thoreau
I started with this picture of 2 elephants showing their affection for each other. It's really a very moving story that I had seen on Nature about an elephant who was kicked out of the circus due to an injury . A small zoo in Alabama picked her up, but for 25 years, she never saw another elephant. Recently, they moved her to an elephant sanctuary in Tennessee where she could be with other elephants. She actually KNEW one of the elephants there from her days in the Circus and they had a heartfelt reunion. They say elephants never forget ... ;-)
First aired in 2000 "The Urban Elephant" brought viewers the touching story of Shirley and Jenny, two crippled elephants reunited at the Elephant Sanctuary in Howenwald, Tennessee.
To learn more about the Elephant Santuary visit here:
The Elephant Sanctuary : Hohenwald Tennessee
Thanks to A Brit in Tennessee for reminding me of this story! I was so moved by their reunion, that I wanted to do a thread sketch to honor their long-time friendship and affection for each other.
On Friday morning (before Quilt Camp), I used my light box, and worked up a sketch based on the Elephant image above.
On Friday evening (at Quilt Camp), I transferred the sketch to Golden Threads quilt tracing paper. You can see it pin-basted to the fabric and batting, which works as stabilizer. I tend not to include the backing fabric at this stage, as the backs can get pretty tangled and ugly after all this thread work.
Drawing out the design twice is actually a great help to getting the design into my brain BEFORE I start to stitch.
After a brief warm-up, I started in on the stitching, with simple black thread (regular cotton on top, and a lighter polyester in the bobbin suitable for embroidery). I don't want so much thread build-up on the backside. Whereas a thicker thread on top helps to cover more ground, and fill in the shapes better, faster.
The background fabric is a piece I snow-dyed way back in February 2009--It said so right in the corner. ;-) It's good to keep such notes!
It took about 7 hours on Friday to make this little quiltie. That includes starting with the sketch and stitching time. I actually had it done by 11 pm!
Lessons Learned : I spent an inordinate amount of time picking out the bits of quilt paper. This method works great in other situations, but not so good here with the dense stitching. Perhaps water-soluble stabilizer might have been a better choice (? I've had trouble getting all the stabilizer out without it becoming al-gummo, so not sure that is the answer.) Perhaps simply drawing the sketch onto the fabric would have worked, too?
Detail of one of the elephants.
If you look closely, you can see some of the tracing paper ... Still need to add a few little beads for the sparkle in their eyes.
The binding is a simple envelope, so the backing in relatively "clean."
I am very pleased with how this turned out!
Read more about Thread Sketching as The Technique-of-the-Month on the 3 Creative Studios Blog. I'll definitely be doing more of this!

October Star Fish Fabric Post Card
I made this little postcard as a warm-up to The Elephant Reunion thread sketched journal quilt.
Detail of the free-motion stitching.
Notes on the making of it :
I layered the following from the bottom up : Stiffy (similar to Timtex) +fusible +orange fabric +black fabric on top. I fused it, then flipped it over, and drews a rough looking star on the Stiffy side, then I stitched over it from the Stiffy side.
Then I flipped it over and cut out the black top layer from INSIDE the newly stitched star shape. Then I stitched a slight zigzag over the black edges of the star to secure and stabilize them.
Then I free-motion stitched swirls ans circles over the orange star.
Finally, I fused a piece of muslin to the Stiffy side, then did a short satin stitch around the edges.
It's mail worthy now!

Dispatches from Quilt Camp - Lake Lucerne 2011
I started out Friday evening working on this little "October Star" fabric post card as a warm-up for this thread sketch.
Read more about the October Star fabric postcard.
Read more about The Elephant Reunion.
On Saturday, I worked on quilting the Tea Leaves quilt. Remember this one?
This is the basic motif I put on each leaf. My original idea needed some modification to make it work as a continuous line from one block to the next. When I figured that out, things moved right along!
Here is a larger view from the back. I still need to do the borders, but it's coming along nicely!
After pin-basting it all, I used the walking foot to lay down the grid with stitch-in-the-ditch. After that, I knew things would be relatively stable to do the swirls on the diagonals. Now to figure out what to put on the borders ...
And finally, some mindless sewing. These simple blocks will eventually be sewn into a stacked coins quilt.
On Sunday, I worked on this bit of chaos, inspired by the fall color ... more on that later.
Here's the whole group of us at The Quilt Retreat at Lake Lucerne Camp. 22 people attended this year. Many of us (but not all) are members of The Lakeside Quilt Guild in Oshkosh. And I'm not the youngest anymore!
This little critter also came to visit. I thought he was kind of pretty with the browns and the stripes.

Preparations for Quilt Camp : Tea Leaves
I'm getting ready for quilt camp today ... I know I'm packing way too much stuff, but I never know what I'll feel like doing, or what I'll need to do it ...
My main objective for the weekend is to quilt the Tea Leaves quilt above. It's not a huge quilt, so it's do-able on my domestic sewing machine. That's always easier at Quilt Camp because I have more room and less clutter to shift the quilt under the machine.
This is the general idea for quilting The Tea Leaves quilt.
That kind of work can be meditative, or exhausting. So I'm bringing a number of other project packs to work on including a couple of journal quilts I'm hoping to get a good start on--maybe I'll even finish one of them? Think thread-sketching ...
In the packing, I came across this Vanilla Tea which is complete comfort food for me. It's no longer available for sale, so these are the last 3 tea bags I have of it. What a treat that will be for a 4 pm pick-me-up each day!

Utility Threads
A few weeks ago, I stopped at Nancy's Notions in Beaver Dam, WI, for some utility threads : black pre-wound bobbins. I was on a mission.
Thinner polyester for thread painting/free-motion embroidery.
Cotton for piecing and quilting.
I can use them in my Husqvarna Viking sewing machine if I pull off the paper side walls, first. They are wound so well, that they easily hold their shape without the paper side walls. I had no end of problems when I first tried using them as is--until my sewing machine maintenance person shared this little secret : Rip off those paper side walls. That was the key!
The pre-wound bobbins save me a lot of time and wear and tear on my machine--or at least that's my perception. I hate breaking stride to re-wind a bobbin in the middle of a project. A few years ago, I bought SuperBobs from the Superior Threads stand at the big quilt show in Chicago. Gray, cream, and black. Black is what I tend to run out of, so that's what I stocked up on.
More "Utility Threads:"
I realize a post about black bobbin threads is pretty darn dry, so I thought I'd throw up a little color ... Here are a couple pictures from my dye apron. Random color ...

Sketchbook Challenge : Stacked Journals
Over at The Sketchbook Challenge, Kelli Perkins encouraged us to literally stack our journals up and take a picture. It is pretty incredible to see what I've compiled in the last few years. All those secrets, all those plans and designs -- some of which have actually come to fruition. These journals are bursting with ideas!
From the Top Down :
Sketchbook Challenge 2011 (nearly full)
Sweet Leaf Notebook - Epic Series
Midnight Garden - Techniques Journal (full)
Sweet Leaf Notebook 2009-2010 (full)
Sweet Leaf Notebook 2011 -
Creative Cues Journal 2010 - Walnut Ink
I made all the journals above except the moleskin on the top of the stack.
Way back in January, I was wondering if I'd be able to fill up a whole journal in 1 year. Now, with 3 months left to go, and about a dozen blank pages left, I'm wondering if I'll have to start another one before the end of the year? That moleskin on the top is the Sketchbook Challenge Sketchbook.

Gypsy Dancer
Gypsy Dances in the Flames of the Burning City
This looks like a simple collage, and in truth, I did try cutting out the silhouette of the dancer with the intention of gluing her down onto the page. But she had too many fine details, and the edges of the paper came out white. Not good.
On to the more complicated Plan B : I wanted to do it on my computer with graphics software.
The background image is from one of my National Geographic and Citrasolv experiments last summer. I always thought this image looked like a city on fire since you could still see a building in the top right corner. The ink dissolved and ran like flames as it dried ...
It called out for a dancer in the foreground ... so I got a stock image and learned about layers, and alpha channels, and (with my sweet husband's help) got these 2 images to work together. Not so simple as a quick cut and paste.
I used Seashore 3 for Mac. It's kind of a GIMP-lite. I'm not quite ready for GIMP yet.

We're all settled into our new space!
MS Sedco has recently moved its facility from to 8701 Castle Park Drive to 7898 Zionsville Road. The new facility is a 42,500 square-foot building that more than doubles our former facility's space with ample room to grow.
"We're very excited about the growth potential that our new space allows in staff, production capabilities, quality control and customer service," said Will Gudgel, owner and CEO.
The move creates multiple ways for MS Sedco to expand and improve service:
Office space
More office space will allow MS Sedco to add employees as the business grows, in order fulfillment and technical support for both traffic and door products.
Technical and engineering space
More technical and engineering space will allow MS Sedco to develop new products based on customer demand and industry innovations, such as the NexGen CT Series and the NexGen IR Touchless Series. Ample space for testing ensures that all products meet MS Sedco's stringent quality standards.
Equipment, production and warehouse space
More production space will allow MS Sedco to manufacture more products in-house. With the addition of a custom printer, MS Sedco is now able to produce custom faceplate graphics for door activation switches in-house. The larger warehouse space holds more inventory for quicker order fulfillment while the expanded lab and testing area will result in even better quality control. Other expansion opportunities are also being considered.

Move that junked car and don't let bushes, weeds overtake your mailbox
If your mailbox has almost disappeared with overgrown bushes, you are probably in violation of a city ordinance. And that old junked car parked in the same spot for years also needs to go.
City officials said both are probably in violation of a city ordinance. City officials are well acquainted with the weed choked property at 4630 Marie Ave. and a host of violations at 2411 Edgewood Road. Callers from both neighborhoods are concerned about rodents and reducing property values in two of Columbus' recognized neighborhoods.
"It's a detriment to the neighborhood," a neighbor said.
Edgewood Road is near the Country Club of Columbus and Hilton Avenue while Marie Avenue backs up to Cooper Creek Park.
Pat Biegler, director of Public Works for the Columbus Consolidated Government, said the property on Marie Avenue was cleaned up by the owner in early July and the case was closed but now it has to go back into the system. "I have to put it back into the system and look at it again," she said. "It is a long process."
Weeds and bushes have almost hidden the mailbox and some windows to the home are almost covered with overgrown bushes. The city's action depends on whether someone is living in the house or not. "We have to send them a registered letter and give them time to clean it up," she said.
On Edgewood Road, the city is much closer to getting the property cleaned up. More than six weeks ago, the city send a letter to the owner but just received it back last week.
"Nobody signed for it," she said of the notice. "Once that happens, then we can go ahead and get a contractor for the mowing. We can't do that until we follow the legal procedure."
The property valued at more than $325,000 is plagued with overgrown weeds, a junked van in the back yard and solid waste stored on the site. Biegler noted weeds have to be cut and solid waste removed before the vehicle can be removed.
With heavy rain recently, the city gets more calls about high grass all over the city. "We have a contractor," she said. "If we hand him 10 work orders at one time, some of them take some time. I don't know where this property will be on the list. We will make sure it gets on the list and we will keep it moving forward the best we can."
If residents are concerned about properties in the neighborhood, she urges residents to call the city and report it. "They need to make sure they call it in," she said. "We don't have a lot of staff to follow up in all of this. We can get out there and start working on the problem."
Dealing with foreclosures and abandoned properties has gotten better than it was but it's still a problem. "It is unfortunate with foreclosures in homes and the economic situation," she said. "It's a little better than it was but we still see a lot of those kind of situations."
None of the owners were home last week although the city has a green light now to do something with the cleanup on Edgewood Road.
If you have seen something that needs attention, give me a call.

A few weeks after the last out of the World Series, as football and basketball takes over the sports pages, I start the annual longing for the return of baseball. Then I remember that not every place is as grey and dreary as my home in Seattle. That's when I recall great baseball is still being played in sunny places like Hawaii and Arizona (not to mention the Venezuelan and Carribean Leagues).
I took a peak this morning at the Hawaii Winter Baseball League and the Arizona Fall League. In both, familiar names like Buster Posey and Gordon Beckham are still starring — even though it's November 2008.
Y-D's All-Star catcher, Posey, is leading the Hawaii Baseball League in both batting average (.418) and on-base percentage (.484). Beckham, the Georgia Bulldog standout, is hitting .378 out in Arizona with a couple of dingers. Yonder Alonso is doing well in Hawaii. He's hitting .305 and has 3 homers.

* Wide Acceptance of DVCPRO P2 Systems by City-level Stations in China *
|LAS VEGAS, NV (April 18, 2004) Panasonic announced today that two Chinese broadcasters -- Harbin TV in Northeastern China and Daqing TV Station in Northeastern Hei Longjiang province have purchased the companys DVCPRO P2 Series of solid-state memory products.
Panasonics DVCPRO P2 makes nonlinear news acquisition, instant access and NLE field editing a reality and allows network and local news operations to exploit the astonishing advances in IT technology, including laptop computers, digital microwave as well as access to wireless and broadband networks. DVCPRO P2 brings critical improvements in durability, speed, stability and accessibility to newsgathering.
The cable channel of Harbin TV, one of the major TV stations in Northeastern China, is the first Chinese broadcaster to embrace DVCPRO P2. Harbin TV Station made the purchasing decision after nearly two years of technical evaluation and review. The channel will utilize DVCPRO P2 for news and other program acquisition. It currently uses Panasonic DVCPRO as its digital production format.
Mr. Wang Mu, Technical Director of Harbin TV, said, As part of the current integration with IT, DVCPRO P2 is the latest concept and technology solution for broadcasting and television technologies. Its the perfect outcome of combining IT with broadcast technologies. Semiconductor storage has unmatchable advantage over other storage media in terms of acquisition, material downloading, nonlinear editing, distribution and on-air performances. This is the most important factor that led our decision to purchase P2.
Daqing TV Station Becomes Second Chinese Broadcaster to Buy DVCPRO P2
Daqing TV Station, located in Northeastern Hei Longjiang province, is the second Chinese broadcaster to purchase DVCPRO P2 systems. The TV station will use DVCPRO P2 to deploy its digital strategy.
As one of the most industrialized cities in China, Daqing is famous for petroleum output and other related industries. Daqing TV is also one of the earliest city-level broadcasters embracing digital migration. Adding DVCPRO P2 to its existing networking production, distribution, and server broadcast systems, Daqing TV is integrating its news acquisition and production closely with IT network technology.

Fresh from wowing festival crowds across Europe last summer, Dublin garage rockers Otherkin share a video for their new single Bad Advice. Watch below.
According to the band, Bad Advice is about "the push and pull impulses of a relationship… the ups –and – downs and everything in between". Listening to the track, it's no surprise then that these guys name The Strokes, Blur, and The Clash as their influences.
Otherkin have been putting the finishing touches to their eagerly awaited debut LP, slated for release later this year. New single Bad Advice follows on from the band's debut The 201 EP releases in 2016.
Having toured with Palma Violets and Parquets Courts, Otherkin are currently on a run of headline dates across the UK. Dates can be found below. The band are also set for a busy summer of touring, including a slot at Download, as well as a home turf support slot with Guns 'N' Roses at the 80,000 capacity Slane Castle on Saturday 27th May.
Bad Advice is out physically on April 28th.

The rise of the Knowledge Architect
Since the founding of Mind mapping via Tony Buzan; we've come a long way since haven't we?
The advancements have been quite impressive from the now well established mainstream staples we all know of and use. No need to mention these products/services worthy of leadership, most of them need no introduction.
Mind mapping eventually added the multiple formats expressiveness of what became known as Visual mapping and has since further morphed into what we now seem to be defining as Knowledge mapping.
The relational database architecture has enabled the knowledge mappers to use the database expressed as a systematic graphical framework to be the single point of access for all relevant data, information and knowledge. And we've now added Knowledge Management to the mix, as this is the logical and natural development.
Knowledge Architects; they are a breed of thinkers and doers who've existed and operated independently outwith the mind-visual-knowledge mapping arenas. Yet; they are integral to and have been associated within these arenas from the get go.
Knowledge Architects define themselves by their passion, skill set and complete understanding of how to aggregate data into information, add context and create usable continuously improving knowledge. And they do this very naturally by utilizing current technology to create, manage and exchange the perceived and actual value associated with knowledge. We are now seeing this being expressed within the Artificial Intelligence arenas.
Knowledge is currency, the building blocks to the knowledge architect, and they establish its monetary value by creating graphical knowledge frameworks that express system.
Knowledge architects are wholistic systematic thinkers and doers who completely understand the relevancy and appropriate uses of both linear and non-linear structures of data, information and knowledge.
It can be said that every human is capable of being a knowledge Architect; and whilst that is very true, there seems to be groups of knowledge architects who exist by virtue of their skill sets that have been honed by their use and mastery of the mind-visual-knowledge mapping software and services.
Associated social media groups such as Biggerplate, the Ultimate Digital Memory TheBrain software/services and the seminal work of Roy Grubb who also develops the most amazing Visual Information Organizer called Topicscape have enhanced the mainstream acknowledgement of the relevancy and position of knowledge architects and their contributions to the furtherance of knowledge management.
Here's a definition of Knowledge Architect: read it and ponder the inclusion of this definition and its implications into your mainstream.
And here's an excellent Xplane article to consider too in our further understandings of how we as Knowledge Architects operate and handle data, information and knowledge.
There's so much to be written, discussed and opportunities revealed by coming together to acknowledge the need for formalizing the passions, skills and complete understanding of systematic and systems thinking.
This article; like all I amateurishly comment through most definitely should be expanded upon. I look to you: my mind-visual-knowledge mapping colleagues, to further contribute more professionally than I do, to furtherance of such discussions.
The rise of The Knowledge Architect? Yes if you dare to define yourself as such; you'll understand we need to find a place, a home; recognition for our passions, skill sets and complete understanding of how we may create, manage and express procedure process and knowledge systems.
Maybe it looks like this: It relates to the Chuck Frey interview of Visual Mapper via this article.
Let's start a conversation, meaningful dialogue and movement forward.

Gemma also helped style the shop and dress the windows. She even brought along some of her own clothes to donate to the shop, which will be available until they are snapped up by savvy shoppers. The Liverpool actress had a clear-out to support the us and donated a range of items to help to raise money and continue its fight for every heartbeat. Why she is supporting us Gemma chose to support us following her father's sudden death from an unexplained heart condition two years ago, one month after giving her away on her wedding day. She's keen to raise awareness of heart conditions, as well as helping to raise money for the charity. Gemma says: "I'm really happy to be able to donate the clothes I don't wear anymore to the British Heart Foundation. It's great to know that someone else will get some joy out of them. Plus the money raised from their sale will help the BHF continue to fund life saving research to fight coronary heart disease and could help people like my dad. "Meeting the volunteers and seeing some of the amazing outfits you can find in BHF shops has been really interesting and I never realised there were so many good quality, fashionable items available. It would be a great place to buy Christmas presents for those on a budget, or for anyone who wants to give something back and help raise money for heart research." BHF Area Manager, Lisa Clarke, adds: "We're really grateful to Gemma for donating her clothes to us, and to everyone else who kindly donates their unwanted clothing, accessories, CDs, DVDs and small household items. "BHF shops can also be a treasure trove to find great value Christmas gifts, including stocking fillers or Secret Santa gifts. A small budget can go a long way with books priced from books from £2, CDs at £1.50, vintage jumpers from £8 and retro glassware from £3. Every purchase made helps to fund vital, life-saving research into heart disease." Visit our shops Our shops stock all types of items from clothes, accessories, toys, shoes, DVDs and books to homeware items such as mirrors, glassware and vintage tea cups. Find your local BHF shop

text: Creativity is thinking of new ways to do things. It involves producing ideas or behaviors that are recognizably original. Words like novel, surprising, ingenious, or unusual often are used to describe creative people. Creativity is found in degrees. At one end of the spectrum are those individuals who are highly recognized for their exceptional creativity, such as great scientists, poets, composers, and painters. This is often referred to as "Big C" creativity. "Small c" creativity is everyday creativity and ingenuity; it is at play when people are able to generate creative solutions to a variety of problems. What really distinguishes creative individuals is not intelligence, but their general approach in life to situations and problems.

Making Seniors Affordable Housing a Reality
At the April 25th meeting of Council, Gian-Carlo brought forward three Notices of Motion - all of which delve into the issue of affordable seniors housing and all of which were passed by Council.
Two of the Notices of Motion looked at finding land for future affordable seniors housing projects, one in Inglewood and one in Ogden. The other Notice of Motion was to exempt an already established affordable seniors housing organization from their property taxes for one year while they restructure to better align with the Provincial tax exemption program (COPTER) for non-profits.

Insurgent (2012) is Veronica Roth's second book in her Divergent trilogy. I had some issues with Roth's character and plot development in Divergent (2011), but it was still interesting enough that I knew I would finish this series. And so what do I think of this second novel? The thing is, this is another one of those books that I read months ago. I can barely remember it. In order to recall my thoughts, I read through some Amazon reviews and hunted up some spoilers on the internet. It's kind of coming back to me, but Divergent certainly made more of an impression on me than this second novel.
Tris is a teenager living in a dystopian world comprised of five factions: the smart people (erudite), the selfless (abnegation), the friendly (amity), the honest (candor), and the daredevil/warmongers (dauntless). Each faction contributes something important to society. Divergent focused on Tris coming of age in her faction with an enormous upset at the end. Roth's second book deals with the fall out from the uprising/fight at the end of her first book.
In trying to probe back into my mind, I think I enjoyed reading this one because I was curious what would happen. I do think I got a little bored with Tris constantly complaining and making stupid, risky decisions. I stopped really caring about the characters because I could not always understand their motives. In looking over the Amazon reviews, almost all mentioned an amazing revelation at the end. And I had no idea what they were talking about. I think that sums up my experience of this book pretty succinctly. I read it quickly to find out what was going to happen. However, I never really felt moved, and I quickly forgot the entire plot. Entertaining fare, but it just didn't stick. I still remember most of the first book in this series better than any scene in Insurgent. However, even with this rather lackluster review, I'm sure I'll be reading the third book.
