CPAP Video & FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
- Do all CPAPs use filters?
- Yes, all CPAPs use at least one filter that is usually a type of foam material and washable. Some CPAPs offer finer filtration with the addition of a disposable paper filter.
Cleaning and changing filters is the only maintenance required for a CPAP machine.
The filters are located at the back of the machine at the air intake.
- In what order do I insert the filters?
- If using both a foam and paper filter, the white paper filter is inserted into the filter area first. Some paper filters use the same material on both sides and either side can face into the machine. Other paper filters may have a plastic mesh side and a soft, fuzzy side. Insert the mesh side facing into the machine and the fuzzy side facing out of the machine as shown in the image below.
"308"="" border="0" alt="mesh filter">
If the paper filter has a tab, fold it facing out of the machine for easy removal. The foam filter is inserted into the filter area after the paper filter is installed. The foam filter will catch the larger dirt particles first.
If you are using a two colored filter, the colored side faces out as shown in the image below.
- How often should I clean my filters?
- Washable foam filters should be cleaned as soon as they become discolored. Manufacturers recommend foam filters be rinsed weekly under clear running water and allowed to air dry before being reinstalled in the machine. If the machine is used in a very dusty environment, the foam filter may require more frequent cleaning.
Disposable filters and bacteria filters are not intended to be cleaned but rather changed out, disposing of the used filter. Manufacturers recommend changing the disposable filter once a month, more frequently if used in a very dusty environment.
- How often should I replace my filters?
- Reusable foam filters should be replaced when they deteriorate and begin to fall apart, much as a sponge does. The foam filter should be washed with a mild detergent monthly and should be replaced every 3 months or more if the foam is torn.
Disposable fine filters and bacteria filters should be discarded as soon as they become discolored or at least every 30 days.
If you live in a house with pets or smoke, you may need to replace the filters more often.
- What are reusable foam filters?
- Foam filters are designed to collect larger dirt particles and animal fur. If two filters are used in a machine, the foam filter should be on the outside.
An example of a reusable foam filter is shown below.
- What are disposable fine filters?
- Ultra fine filters collect much smaller particles and are useful for those with allergies or sinus issues. These filters are not meant to be cleaned, but discarded when dirty.
An example of a disposable fine filter is shown below.
- What is an In-line Outlet Bacteria Filter for CPAP/BiPAP?
- Bacteria filters are fine enough to remove some bacteria and are clinically indicated when a CPAP machine is used by more than one person. However, many CPAP users find them helpful in reducing the occurrence of sinus infections and other nasal issues. Bacteria filters can be used with an CPAP/APAP/ or BiPAP machine.
Bacteria filters are housed in a plastic frame and are placed at the CPAP air outlet, rather than the air inlet. They may be used with humidifiers, but should be removed and allowed to air dry during the day.
This filter is placed at the air outtake for your machine if you are not using a humidifiers. If you are using a humidifier, it is placed at the air outake for your humidifier. The bacteria filter is placed in the air outtake and the CPAP hose is placed on the other end.
The entire housing is disposable and should be discarded as soon as matter becomes visible. A clogged Bacteria filter may affect the amount of air delivered by the CPAP.
An example of a bacteria filter is shown below. Follow by an image showing how it installed.

Salmon Roasted with
Tomatoes & Olives
Take advantage of tomatoes that are luscious and in season to enhance your many dishes. Tomatoes go particularly well with this salmon recipe.
- 2 pounds ripe plum tomatoes, stem ends trimmed, cut into thin wedges
- ½ medium onion, peeled and cut into thin wedges
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 Tbs extra-virgin olive oil
- 1/3 cup pitted Kalamata olives, coarsely chopped
- 1 Tbs chopped fresh rosemary
- 1/4 tsp salt
- Freshly ground pepper, to taste
- 1 ¼ pounds salmon fillet, (about 1 1/2 inches thick), skin removed, cut into 4 portions
- orange zest
Preheat oven to 400°F. Combine tomatoes, onion, orange zest and garlic in a large roasting pan or on a large baking sheet with sides. Drizzle with oil and toss to coat.
Roast, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes and onion are tender and beginning to brown on the edges, about 45 minutes. Remove pan from the oven. Increase oven temperature to 450°.
Add olives and rosemary to the pan; season with salt and pepper. Clear four spaces in the pan and place a salmon piece in each. Spoon some of the tomato mixture on top.
Roast until the salmon is opaque in the center, 10 to 15 minutes, depending on the thickness.
Tip: How to Skin a Fish Fillet
You can ask to have the skin removed from a piece of salmon or halibut fillet at the fish counter, but it is also easy to do it yourself. Place the fillet, skin-side down, on a cutting board. Use a thin sharp knife to cut between skin and flesh at the tip. Grasp the skin with your free hand and ease the knife carefully between skin and flesh, keeping the knife pointed slightly toward the skin, until skin is removed.

Peach Salad with Basil dressing
Stone fruit – peaches, apricots, cherries, nectarines, and plums – are one of the great joys of summer. Now is the time to eat your fill, since they won't be at their peak for long. And when it comes to cooking, think beyond pie, crumbles, and cobblers. These fruits are delicious grilled and served on ice cream (or alongside barbecued ribs), tossed in a salad, or pureed into a sauce that is just as delicious on Greek yogurt for breakfast. This salad is one of our favorites, since it pairs juicy peaches with fragrant basil, a sweet – savory combination that is the essence of summer.
- 3 ripe peaches, sliced into thin wedges
- 3 cups arugula or your favorite green leafy veggie
- 4 oz shredded Mozzarella
- 2 Tbs chopped walnuts or pecans
- 3 Tbs extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 Tbs vinegar
- ½ cup chopped fresh basil
- ¼ tsp salt
In a large bowl, toss together peaches, arugula or your favorite greens, mozzarella, and nuts.
Put oil, vinegar, basil, and salt in a blender or food processor and combine until smooth.
Divide peach salad among serving plates and drizzle with basil dressing.
Serves: 4
Prep: 10 min
Homemade tomato sauce
Jarred pasta sauces have come a long way, but, still, none of them hold a candle to homemade. If you've been relying on jarred stuff because you don't think you have the time or skills to learn how to make pasta sauce from scratch, you'll be pleasantly surprised by the recipe below.
Since fresh tomatoes and basil are key to this classic recipe, you'll obviously get the best results during the summer months when both are in season (and hence less expensive) and at their peak flavor. But that doesn't mean you have to go without homemade pasta sauce in the winter! Both tomatoes and fresh herbs are available year-round at most grocery stores these days, so you can whip up a batch anytime. Alternatively, you can make a huge batch during summer to stock in your freezer for months when tomatoes are not in season.
- 5 pounds plum tomatoes
- ¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
- ¾ cup chopped garlic, (about 2 heads)
- 4 cups diced onions, (3-4 medium)
- 1 ½ teaspoons salt
- ¼ cup tomato paste
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 cup red wine
- 2 tablespoons red-wine vinegar
- 1/2 cup chopped fresh basil
- freshly ground pepper, to taste
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Place a large bowl of ice water next to the stove. Using a sharp paring knife, core the tomatoes and score a small X into the flesh on the bottom.
Place the tomatoes in the boiling water, in batches, until the skins are slightly loosened, 30 seconds to 2 minutes.
Using a slotted spoon, transfer the tomatoes to the ice water and let sit in the water for 1 minute before removing.
Place a sieve over a bowl; working over it, peel the tomatoes using a paring knife, and let the skins fall into the sieve.
Halve the tomatoes crosswise and scoop out the seeds with a teaspoon, letting the sieve catch the seeds. Press on the seeds and skins to extract any extra juice. Coarsely chop the peeled tomatoes and set aside.
Heat oil in a Dutch oven over medium heat. Add garlic and cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant and just beginning to color, 2 to 3 minutes. Add onions and salt, stir to coat, cover and cook, stirring often and adjusting heat as necessary to prevent burning, until soft and turning golden, 10 to 15 minutes. Stir in tomato paste and oregano and cook, stirring often, until the tomato paste is beginning to brown on the bottom of the pan, 2 to 4 minutes.
Pour in wine and vinegar; bring to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits with a wooden spoon. Cook until reduced slightly, about 2 minutes. Add the tomatoes and any juice; return to a simmer, stirring often. Reduce heat to maintain a gentle simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes are mostly broken down, about 25 minutes.
Remove from the heat; stir in basil and pepper. Using a blender stick or food processor. (Use caution when pureeing hot liquids.) Process until desired consistency. For a smooth sauce, puree it all; for a chunky sauce, puree just half and mix it back into the rest of the sauce.
Once you master the basics, you can play around with the recipe to tailor the sauce to your personal tastes. You may prefer a little more garlic, want it a little sweeter, or prefer a bit of punch from crushed red pepper.
Makes 3 lbs of tomato sauce. Divide into smaller containers as needed. Cover and refrigerate for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 6 months.
This sauce is wholesome and ideal for any pasta dish; while adding additional flavor to any meat or fish dishes.

Whenever I go on a trip, I always make sure to visit a holy or sacred place. In China, I always try to visit a famous temple or a sacred site like Mt. Putuo. In Bangkok, I visit the famous Four – Faced Buddha. In France, I try to visit Lourdes.
It doesn't matter whether the holy or sacred place is a Buddhist site or a Muslim site or a Catholic place. As long as it's considered holy or sacred I try to visit it and take with me a slice of good chi from the holy site.
I do this by getting a small amount of earth from the site, or in the case of Lourdes I buy some 'holy water', or I get some burnt incense ash from their incense burner. I then bring them home and put them on my altar or in the garden.
The natural things found in these places imbibes the positive chi of the holy or sacred place and bringing them to your house will 'bless' your place with their chi.
However, you should make sure you mentally ask permission first before you get anything from these places. It is also advisable that you do a thank you offering for the 'blessing' that you're taking home.
There are different ways of doing an offering. You can either offer some flowers, incense, or donate some money.

My job at the moment is to project manage the design and development of the Little Leaf website. Fresh from the social media success of Twitter, Facebook and this blog (success measured by the fact that someone, other than friends and family, has read this blog, and 200 followers on Twitter) I felt much more confident going into this project than I do now.
I was pretty impressed with the fact that I was able to choose the administration system myself, have a comprehensive discussion with our designer and developer as to what I wanted. I threw fancy words around like information architecture, online functionality, usability and search engine optimisation. I gave Danny tutorials on Facebook and, bar the one mistake I made on Twitter which has rendered our perfect username invalid until 23rd December, I have been pretty pleased with how things have gone.
Last night however, it all went a bit squiffy as Danny and I sat down to look at the prototype of our site which is now online (for our eyes only). We had a list of questions from our ever-patient developer about what phrases meant and where they should link to, and it was at this point that the holes in my knowledge became swiftly apparent.
Where do I expect the user to go when they click on the 'Stay in Touch' link? What does the 'Availability Checker' look like and how does it work? How many ways do I want people to be able to contact us? Where is the space for Special Offers? And how did I forget to mention Facebook? It's funny how some things look so simple on paper yet the reality of how they work is a totally different thing. This becomes a tad problematic when others assume (possibly corroborated by myself) that I knew how they were going to work before I put them on paper; I have a confession to make – I didn't always know what I was talking about.
In an odd way this process is a bit like the fantasy and reality of the guest house business. The fantasy being all about how it was going to look, what great 'added value' things we were going to offer, the toiletries in the room, the colour of the curtains and the deliciousness of the breakfast. Whereas in fact the reality is how it's going to work – the mortgages, the business plans, the logistics, the contacts, and the health and safety requirements. Just like a website everyone wants to focus on what it looks like, not the more labour intensive questions about how it will work – myself included.
After 3 years of working in digital communications for a company that, among other things, designs and builds websites, I finally have some sympathy for our clients who look up at us blankly when we ask how they expected something to work, or are surprised when we say that it's just not that easy to change the background colour from green to blue once the site has been built. After all, even with all that experience under my belt, I still don't really understand how servers work (I just know that you need them); I get confused by Google Mail, and hosting is like some kind of black art.
It takes me 20 minutes to do something that I suspect someone else would do in about 30 seconds, and will rarely admit to anyone that it wasn't "pretty easy becuase I understand this stuff".
The reality is that I'm not a digital native. I'm not a PC, nor am I a MAC, or even a Canon Starwriter. Email was something I abandoned at University because I couldn't figure out how it worked, and things haven't changed that much. I stare in amazement at my friends' children who seem to intuitively know how an iPhone works whereas I was just amazed it didn't come with an instruction manual, and maybe, just maybe, I have to put my hand up and say that this website development stuff is not any easier for me than it would be for my technical dinosaur of a boyfriend.
I'm 34, I'm a digital immigrant, and I'm just doing my best. Tweets of sympathy can be directed to Tim Reader, Website Developer extraordinaire. http://twitter.com/timboreader.

4. ROBERT FROST: The faithful worker
Robert Frost (1874-1963) was a famous American poet who worked menial odd-jobs while pursuing his love of poetry in his spare time. He went on to win four Pulitzer prizes. I found this quote in The 4-Hour Workweek by Tim Ferriss, a book that helps people break free from their 9-5 jobs and live life on their terms. The book helped give me the confidence to leave my own 9-5 and try to make it on my own. Tim's blog is one of my favourites, and is packed with useful tips on life-hacking – whether it be work, travel, language or fitness (and now cooking!).

You are currently browsing the tag archive for the 'Art' tag.
This is my third attempt at writing a blog. My first one, I thought I'd be clever and write about my daily goings on, but without telling my audience who I was; it became a mystery of sorts; a mystery that sucked. My second blog was, well I can't really remember what I wrote about; probably a lot of random stuff that had to do with life, TV, film, comics and some other randomness; I think I wrote about snow once. This latest blog I hope will have some legs because of one reason; focus.
I've decided that my focus will be on comic books. I go to enough comic books websites, read enough comic books and think about comic books so much that it makes sense for me to get my thoughts on a page. Plus, I love to write; I want to write for a living, and this blog will give me the opportunity to write about the medium I want to write in, give me a schedule in which I can write, and ultimate this will get me writing.
To make sure I stay focused, I'm going to give myself a minimum two posts a week. One post will be my Picks of the week and will be give my pick of the best and worst comic of the week. My picks will be posted Wednesday Thursdays; my inital pick on Wednesday and my reviews on Thursday. The other major post will be about comic books in general; be it new books coming out, comic book movies, creative teams, industry challenges or topics that I think should be raised. I'm always open to ideas so don't hesitate to send me some. You can contact me by e-mail, firstname.lastname@example.com or my Twitter page @PanelFlow.
So without further ado, I give you my latest, and hopefully more successful, blog, Panel Flow.
P.S. I want to thank my good friend G, @theGsayeth, for all his help and support on this blog.

CLEVELAND, March 19 (UPI) -- A Cleveland woman and her 8-year-old son took on a home invasion and won, by dunking the intruder's head in a fish tank, among other actions.
Jamila Sloan said the suspect entered her home Saturday and "busted through my kitchen door."
"This is my house," she later told WOIO-TV. "I was really in fear of my life, my son's life."
Police said she and son Chris Turner pushed the intruder into the fish tank, and hitting him on the head.
"I was choking him and punching him and biting and scratching and doing everything I could," she said.
When the suspect pulled his mom's hair, the son "got really, really mad," Chris said. "I got mad and starting hitting him with a handle from my scooter."
Cleveland police arrested Talbert Glenn at the scene, adding Glenn has a criminal record for drug and weapons possession. .

The PGA of America has a rich history in the game of golf. Since the organization was created in 1916, it has been one of golf's strongest foundations.
The PGA of America is the world's largest working sports organization, comprised of 28,000 men and women golf Professionals who are the recognized experts in growing, teaching and managing the game of golf, while serving millions of people throughout its 41 PGA Sections nationwide. Since its founding in 1916, The PGA of America has enhanced its leadership position in a $62 billion-a-year industry, by growing the game of golf through its premier spectator events, world-class education and training programs, significant philanthropic outreach initiatives, and award-winning golf promotions. Today's PGA Professional is the public's link to the game, serving an essential role in the operation of golf facilities throughout the country.
One of the PGA of America's most esteemed programs is the PGA/PGM program (Professional Golf Management). The PGA/Professional Golf Management™ (PGM) program, a four-and-one-half year college curriculum for aspiring PGA Professionals, is a structured educational program accredited by The PGA of America.
PGA/PGM™ programs provide students the opportunity to acquire the knowledge and skills necessary for success in the golf industry through extensive classroom studies, internship experience and player development. Since its inception in 1975, more than 2,300 students have graduated from a PGA/PGM™ program.
Students attending a PGA/PGM™ program can graduate with a baccalaureate degree in majors ranging from Marketing or Business Administration to Hospitality Administration or Recreation and Park Management.
In addition to classroom studies, each student is required to complete an approved internship of at least 16 months at a golf industry locale. Students also are required to complete all requirements of The PGA of America's Professional Golf Management (PGM) Program and pass a Playing Ability Test (PAT). These requirements satisfy The PGA of America's membership requirement.
The American Junior Golf Association is one of the many golf organizations that has benefited from the PGA/PGM program. Riley Tracy, who is currently completing the final level of the program through the University of Idaho, chose to do his final internship with the AJGA. After the completion of his travel internship with the AJGA Tracy was hired on full-time and is currently a manager of Player Services.
"Through the PGA/PGM program I was able to work toward becoming a PGA member while completing my college degree," Tracy said. "The educational components of the program as well as the internship experiences were a great way to gain an introduction to the wide range of opportunities in the golf industry."

Hello! I'm so glad to be here with you today. Camping has a special spot in my heart. My Dad designed camps for a living. Yup, there is someone who gets paid to do that job….or there used to be. Dad designed camps all over the USA for the Boy Scouts of America, the Girl Scouts, and the Presbyterian Church. If there is a spot in our great country near and dear to your heart my dad could tell you all about it…intimately. That was his super power! When I introduced him to my husband, years ago before G was even my fiancé, Dad knew where his folks lived….literally. He could describe the house and the yard. He had been past it a hundred times on his way into the Sierra Nevada National Park…en route to one camp or another. It tickles me pink to know that he had such a profound influence on people. It is like having a little bit of my daddy with me every where I go.
S'more Love, by Eric and Julie Comstock is perfect for making a quilt to enjoy by the camp fire…or to enjoy in your RV… or living room long after the trip is over. It would look great in a little boy's bedroom. The line is filled with whimsical characters and vibrant colors.
- 1 Jelly Roll
- I used S'more Love + 4 2 1/2″ x width of fabric (wof) strips
- 1 1/4 yards dark fabric for distant mountains and inner border
- I used Bella Chocolate #9900-41
- 1 yards light fabric for distant sky
- I used Bella Feather #9900-127
- 1/4 yard for corner stones
- I used Campfire star bursts #37075-13
2 yards for outer border
Yardage is required for fussy cutting the stripes in S'more Love
I used Multi stripe #37070-11
If you do not fussy cut you only need 3/4 yard
1/2 yard for binding
I used Campfire star bursts #37075-13
4 yards for backing
I used Aspen green with cars on it #37071-14
Various scraps for applique
- I used scraps of Home Town by Sweetwater, and Pezzy by American Jane
Helpful tools:
- 9 1/2″ square quilting ruler.
- 6, 3/4″ diameter buttons to use as tires for applique trucks and campers.
Cutting Directions:
- From Dark Mountains fabric
- Cut 11, 10 1/4″x 10 1/4″ squares (for distant mountains)
- Cut 3, 10 1/4″x width of fabric (wof) strips
- Sub cut wof strips into 4, 10 1/4″x 10 1/4″ squares each for 12 squares
- Cut 7, 1 1/2″x wof (for inner border)
- From Light Sky fabric
- Cut 11, 10 1/4″x 10 1/4″ squares (for distant sky)
- Cut 3, 10 1/4″x width of fabric (wof) strips
- Sub cut wof strips into 4, 10 1/4″x 10 1/4″ squares each for 12 squares
- From Corner Stone fabric
- Cut 4, 4″x 4″ squares (for corner stones)
- Cut 2, 2 1/2″ x wof (to supplement jelly roll strips)
- From Outer Border fabric
- If fussy cutting –
- Cut 2, 4″x 65 1/2″ strips along length of pattern
- Cut 2, 4″x 56 1/2″ strips along length of pattern
- from fussy cutting scraps
- Cut 2, 2 1/2″ x 42″ strips to supplement jelly roll
- If NOT fussy cutting –
- Cut 6, 4″ x wof strips
- cut 2, 2 1/2″ x wof strips
- From binding fabric
- Cut 7, 2 1/2″ x wof strips
- Tips for working with Jelly Rolls:
- Run a lint brush over the raw edged sides of the jelly roll before unwrapping it, otherwise you will have little fluffy lint fuzzes all over the place.
- Iron strips flat before sewing.
- GET STEAMED!! It will help to realign the fibers is you use steam when you iron. They will relax and loose the curl that has been forced into them by being rolled up
Sewing Directions:
- From jelly roll (+ 4, 2 1/2″ x wof strips cut from corner stone and outer border fabrics)
- Randomly sew 11 sets of 4 strips together along the long edge
- Iron seam allowances open
- To open seam allowances place the sewn strip on a hard surface (like a cutting table or desk) Spread the larger pieces of fabric to the sides, right side down, then use your finger nail to nudge the seam allowances apart. The use STEAM to set the seams open.
- Each strip set should measure approximately 42″ x 8 1/2″
- Using the lines on your ruler cut 45 degrees from the corner of the first strip set.
- Turn ruler over and make second cut on strip set at 45 degrees from the last edge cut.
- Continue in this manner across set for 4 large right triangles per set
- Because you will be working with biased edges the pieces will have a tendency to stretch. Do the best that you can to keep things square, but don't worry too much about it. These triangles are large enough to be squared up when you get to the final step of block construction.
- Repeat process with remaining strip sets for a total of 44 large right triangles.
- NOTE: As you only need 42, you will have two extras.
|Mountain Block, Right Facing – make 21
NOTE – This is a drawing. In an actual block the striped pieces may be different widths.
|Mountain Block, Left Facing – make 21
NOTE – This is a drawing. In an actual block the striped pieces may be different widths.
- Gather
- 11, dark 10 1/4″x 10 1/4″ squares
- 11, light 10 1/4″x 10 1/4″ squares
- 42 large, striped right triangles
- Make 21 half square triangles (HST)
- Draw a line diagonally across the wrong side of each light 10 1/4″x 10 1/4″ square
- Align one light square atop one dark square with right sides together
- Sew 1/4″ to each side of the drawn line
- Cut on line to make 2 HST
- Iron seam allowances open.
- Cut each HST in half diagonally, perpendicular to the seam to make 2 right triangles each (mirror images of each other)
- Repeat process with remaining squares, but do not cut the last HST in half for 42 bi-colored large triangles.
- Sew one striped triangle to one bi-colored triangle
- The striped triangles will be bigger than the bi-colored triangles. I did this on purpose so that the cutting would be easier. I found trimming after the weird blocks were made more accurate than trimming stretchy triangles.
- Align the triangles along the hypotenuse (the side opposite the right angle), with right sides together, pin!
- Sew along the hypotenuse to make one large square-ish shape.
- Iron seam allowances towards the striped triangle.
- Trim to 9 1/2″ x 9 1/2″ square – be sure to keep the center of the square where the hypotenuse and the seam of the bi-colored triangle meet.
- Repeat with remaining triangles for 42 blocks.
Assemble Center of Quilt:
- Gather 42 Mountain blocks
- 21 right facing
- 21 left facing
- Arrange 7 rows of 6 blocks each
- 3 rows – left, right, left, right, left, right – notice how they make 3 striped peaks
- 4 rows – right, left, right, left, right, left – only two striped peaks here
- Sew blocks together ironing seam allowances towards the left facing block
- Sew rows together
- It will help to keep your quilt square if you
- Pin the rows together, making sure that the seams from each row line up with the seams to the next.
- Sew the rows together with the white (sky fabric) on the top. It is cut with the weave of the fabric and will not stretch as much as the edge of the striped mountains.
- Start with a right left right row
- Alternate rows
- End with a right left right row
Add Borders:
- Gather
- Center of quilt
- 7, 1 1/2″x wof (for inner border)
- 4, 4″ x 4″ corner stones
- Outer border strips
- Inner Borders
- Sew 2 sets of 2, 1 1/2″ strips together along the short side.
- Iron seam allowance open
- Attach to long sides of quilt top.
- Iron seam allowance toward the border.
- Trim excess.
- Sew remaining strips together, along the short sides, to make 2 pieces long enough to fit short ends of your quilt top.
- Attach to the short sides of quilt top.
- Iron seam allowances towards the border.
- Trim excess.
- Outer Borders
- Measure the sides of your quilt top – record below
- ________ top (short)
- ________ bottom (short)
- ________ left (long)
- ________ right (long)
- Cut 2 strips to fit the left and right sides as recorded above.
- Attach to quilt top
- Iron seam allowances towards the outer border
- Cut remaining strips to fit the top and bottom as recorded above. (Remember you are going to add a corner stone in the next step…your strip will be shorter than the edge of your quilt at the moment.)
- Add corner stones to the ends of each strip.
- Iron seam allowances towards the strip.
- PIN strip to top, right sides together, matching up seam at corner stones with seam of long borders.
- Sew in place.
- Iron seam allowances towards the outer border.
- Repeat process for bottom edge.
|Your top will look something like this now.
Add Applique:
This is totally optional. The mountains do not need the applique to be a finished quilt. Look at the picture above. I think the quilt would be perfect just like this. However, I wanted to play with the fun characters in S'more Love.
I found some wonderful drawings on Moda's swatch pages for this line. I cut and pasted and enlarged the images until I got what I wanted, then turned them into an applique.
Finish Quilt: Layer and Quilt as desired.
A perfect spot to dream about the next camping trip – 63″x 72″ big enough to cover a camping cot, or the skinny pull out bed in your RV.
|I quilted mine in Vickie Malaski's Animal Tracks pattern.
I'd love to see your quilts. Please share a photo of your finished quilt with my group, Tops to Treasures on Flickr.

I'm trying to play NBA Live 09 with a friend on Xbox Live. We prefer to play on the same team, but I can't find a way to do that. I go to Team Play, Play with a Friend, invite him, then we both choose the same team, but when the countdown is done it always says that someone disconnected and it boots us out.
Is playing on the same team just not possible if it is only 2 people?


text: Images from Versace's H&M line have finally been revealed, and you have just a few short weeks to ogle them before the collection hits stores and online on November 17. I tend to be pretty skeptical when it comes to designer/mass retailer collaborations, but Versace's looks for H&M are nothing to sniff at. Prices range from $150 to $300—which is neither free nor cheap—but the higher price point afforded Versace the ability to work with better quality fabrics than your typical designer collab. The collection includes a black leather dress (!!!), a leather jacket, silk dresses and tops, and suede boots, all inspired by the Versace archives and legacy. Let me say this as clearly as I can: a Versace-designed black leather dress for $300. You really can't afford not to buy it.

Reaction of UBS regarding today's communiqué from the Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier (CSSF) in Luxembourg
UBS took notice of the communiqué and will defend itself vigorously
UBS took notice of today's communiqué from the Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier (CSSF) in Luxembourg. UBS does not believe the CSSF is correct.
The Luxalpha fund was created at the explicit request of wealthy clients who requested a tailor-made fund to enable them to continue investing their assets with Madoff. These clients were represented by sophisticated financial institutions being fully aware of the nature of the investments. These investors, their advisors and the CSSF were informed about the fact that the sole purpose of Luxalpha was to enable the funds to be invested with Madoff. The fund documentation made it very clear that UBS (Luxembourg) SA was not expected to be responsible for the safekeeping of the assets. The fund documentation contained an explicit waiver to that effect. UBS does not have responsibility to these shareholders for the unfortunate results of the Madoff scandal.
The communiqué from the CSSF has no impact on UBS's Wealth Management clients in Luxembourg or on UBS's Luxembourg funds.

An unusual gift idea!
Are you looking for a truly personalised gift? Looking for an original, contemporary designer gift? Our artworks are for you!
And what a work of art! An image of the person who will receive your gift. You will find nothing more unique than a work of art created using the DNA or fingerprints of the recipient.
You can choose the size and medium (canvas, aluminium or Plexiglas). The recipient of this unusual gift can choose the colour of his/her picture depending on his/her tastes and the place it will be displayed.
Another original advantage when you offer a work by HELYS is that you offer two surprises in one: first, the day you offer your gift (the DNA or fingerprint sample kit) and, secondly, a few weeks later, when the final work is delivered directly to the recipient.
On our website, you can do exactly as if it was an order for yourself. You choose your product: for one person, for a couple or a family. You chosse also the support and the size of the picture. The small difference is in the choice of the color: select the box marked gift if you want to let the recipient choose the colour himself.
In the comments of your order, you can also specify us 2 different addresses : one for the DNA-sample Kit and another for the delivery of the Artwork.

Portland offers tips to stay safe in extreme heat
Fridat expected to be the hottest day of the year
With Friday expected to be the hottest day of the year, the city of Portland is urging people to use caution and to take precautions to avoid heat related illnesses.
According to the Centers for Disease Control, there are hundreds of heat-related deaths across the country every year, with some people particularly susceptible to the effects of heat and humidity.
Vulnerable groups include the elderly, young children, the obese, those with pre-existing medical conditions and those who take certain medications that may increase the effects of sun and heat exposure, according to officials.
The fire department said people should recognize the warning signs of heat related illness and take efforts to prevent them.
Signs of heat cramps include muscle spasms, usually in the abdomen and legs.
Heat exhaustion is caused by the excessive loss of salt associated with profuse sweating, resulting in cold, clammy skin, headache, nausea and dizziness.
Heat stroke is caused by the body's inability to regulate its temperature. Symptoms include red, dry skin, lack of sweating, rapid but weak pulse, confusion, and rapid but shallow breathing.
If you noticed someone suffering from heat cramps or exhaustion, officials said move the victim to a cool place, drink plenty of fluids, rest, loosen any tight clothing and cool them off with water or wet cloths.
Heat stroke is considered a medical emergency, and 911 should be called immediately.
The best defense and treatment of heat related illness is prevention. Drink more non-alcoholic fluids even if you're not thirsty. Avoid fluids that contain caffeine, alcohol or large amounts of sugar, these actually cause you to lose more body fluids.
Stay indoors and if possible use air conditioning. If air conditioning is not available go to a shopping mall or a public library. Take a cool shower.
Limit any outdoor activity to mornings or evenings when temperatures drop.
Never leave children, infants or pets in cars any length of time in any vehicle, even if the windows are cracked. Children and pets left unattended in parked cars are at the greatest risk for heat stroke, and possibly death.
The city offers a number of spots for children and adults to cool-off.
Families can visit one of three splash pads located in the city at Stone Street Playground, Payson Park Playground and the at Kiwanis Pool, which are free and open to the public until 9 p.m. The Kiwanis pool, Portland's only outdoor public pool, is also open until 7:30 p.m..
Other public locations for families are the Deering Oaks Ravine with its underground fountains and wading pool, the East End Beach, located at the end of Cutter Street and the Portland Public Library.

The phone rings at the Bucktown headquarters of Marbles: The Brain Store, puncturing the tapping of keyboards and the whir of the heating system.
No one picks up, though,
until a woman with curly brown hair and hazel eyes, sitting at a desk in the center of the room, snatches a handset.
"Marbles: The Brain Store, this is Lindsay."
A pause.
"It's a warehouse. Are you delivering something?"
She steps forward and listens.
"Awesome, we're here!"
No one looks up or apologizes to Lindsay Gaskins, CEO and co-founder of Marbles: The Brain Store, for not answering the phone.
"It's not like we're working for this untouchable boss," said Marla Byrd, a staff accountant and one of Marbles' 154 full-time employees, most of whom work at the company's retail locations. "There's no caste system here. Lindsay comes in, and she does the grunt work and she projects the future. It's a leadership thing. It's refreshing."
It's an involved, personal style of leadership Gaskins said she will strive to maintain as her company evolves.
"If you're going to do something like this, you have to be willing to do everything," she said. "I want a good culture in my company, where everyone lends a hand. It's part of who we are. I hope it doesn't change as we get older."
Marbles began in October 2008 with one retail location in downtown Chicago, grew to four locations in 2009, then eight in 2010. It ended 2011 with 18 stores in the Chicago area, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Minnesota and Massachusetts, as well as a growing online presence. This year, Gaskins' goal is to open 10 to 15 more stores on both coasts.
"Right now," Gaskins said, "has been the best time ever in my career."
Amid that growth, Gaskins gave birth to her first child, Louise Gaskins Barnard, nicknamed Lulu, 21 months ago with her wife, Laura Barnard.
"There's more of a reason for me to be successful," Gaskins, 35, said of how becoming a mom has changed her perspective. "There's Lulu and there's my family that I want to do well for."
Weekday mornings at Gaskins' and Barnard's sunlit, third-floor condo in Wicker Park involve a 6 a.m. wake-up time and thrice-weekly, three-mile jogs for Gaskins.
On a recent Friday morning, Gaskins and Barnard spent several tranquil minutes flipping Lulu, who erupted with giggles several times before Barnard, 31, dashed out to her job in marketing for Wrigley's Skittles brand.
"We have the best jobs ever: toys and games and candy," Gaskins said.
But her business did not always represent a bustling enterprise of games. The first iteration of Marbles survived only three months.
In May 2008, Gaskins was working for Sandbox Industries, a business incubator based in the West Loop. She and co-worker Karen Luby started Marbles by opening a kiosk at Woodfield Mall in Schaumburg.
The idea for the company came from Luby's mom, Catherine Luby. Amid baby boomer concerns about aging, "my mom was saying she wished there was a place that people could get together and do something about their brains," said Luby, 28, an associate brand manager at Unilever in New Jersey with no stake in Marbles.
Nick Rosa, a co-founder of Sandbox Industries and still a key investor in Marbles, said the kiosk was meant to help Gaskins and Luby test the market in a less-expensive format than a store.
"We went and did the kiosk," Rosa said, "and it was a complete failure."
Even though the venture sputtered, Luby said, "I have a lot of memories of us at 2 a.m. at Woodfield Mall trying to fix the kiosk and rearranging. Lindsay had so much energy in trying to make that thing a success."
There's a story Gaskins' mother, Stephanie Gaskins, 72, likes to tell about Lindsay's perseverance.
Lindsay's parents live in Ipswich, Mass., where Lindsay graduated from high school. Her mother said a retired local football coach still chats with her about something her daughter pulled off years ago.
In 1995, Lindsay was captain of her basketball team at Ipswich High School that won the state championship. Afterward, "she was determined to ride the fire engine with her team through town," her mother said, but she was told that honor was only for the football team after big wins.
"Guess what? Lindsay and her team rode the fire engine through town," Stephanie Gaskins said. "She's the one who would get it done."
Gaskins, the fourth of five children, might have inherited some of her executive qualities from her father, Darius Gaskins, once president and CEO of Burlington Northern Railroad, now BNSF Railway Co.
"She's always been a very persistent person," said Darius Gaskins, 72. "When she believes in something, she pursues it aggressively."
Central among those things was Marbles. What resonated with Gaskins during the short life of the kiosk was that people who stopped and put their shopping bags down enjoyed interacting with Marbles' games and puzzles; the setup didn't give them space to fully engage with the products.
She figured a brick-and-mortar store would.
In October 2008, in the depths of the recession, the first Marbles store opened, at 55 E. Grand Ave. in downtown Chicago, financed in large part by the Sandbox Venture Fund.
"Anybody who would know anything about retail would think that we were absolutely crazy to launch a business in fall of 2008," Rosa said.
Even so, the store worked. People wandered inside. They played. And then they bought.
Since then, annual revenue for Marbles has about tripled every year, said Gaskins, from $250,000 in 2008 to $1 million in 2009 to $3 million in 2010. The company ended 2011, she said, with revenue slightly less than $9 million.
Because the company is focusing on rapid expansion, Gaskins said, Marbles has yet to become profitable, meaning that the nearly $200,000 it costs to build out each store must be financed by investors.
Still, Gaskins envisions an exponential expansion of Marbles stores. Motivated by swift sales at Marbles locations in Water Tower Place and Woodfield Mall, she is targeting 100 major malls in America.
All Marbles locations allow ample room, usually in the center of the store, for customers to put together puzzles or flip through quiz cards or manipulate game pieces, each designed to stimulate critical thinking, memory, visual perception, word skills and coordination. Marbles produces its own games — about 30 so far, with a goal of 25 more this year -- as well as selling games by other manufacturers.
Staff members at each store are called brain coaches, and they approach customers by offering to demonstrate products, which often results in several minutes of play.
"There's more of a shift back to the small mom and pop shop where people again want that personal touch," said chief merchant and co-founder Scott Brown. "We do not just want to be a toy store, but a brain health store, and it's a white-glove experience in that we are trying our very hardest to match each customer with products for them and their brain."
Gaskins said she is "a firm believer that challenging your brain with game play and other stimulating activities can benefit your brain," though she added that Marbles does not make scientific claims about its products.
Dr. Marek-Marsel Mesulam, a neurologist and the director of the Cognitive Neurology & Alzheimer's DiseaseCenter at Northwestern Memorial Hospital in Chicago, said the brains of animals like rats respond to enriched environments, such as cages festooned with brightly colored toys.
Rats placed in those environments, he said, show a thickening of the cerebral cortex, as well as brain cell growth. Rats that had been displaying components of Alzheimer's disease, he added, showed a mitigation of the effects of the disease when placed in an environment with colorful toys that could be analogous to games and puzzles.
But "when it comes to human brains, things are a lot messier," Mesulam said. "There really is no proof that playing games of any kind improves memory or brain function, even in regular people or in people with Alzheimer's disease. But we do play games and do activities here in the center, and we do that on faith, given what we know about the animal laboratory and common sense that this is a good thing."
Part of the reason for the lack of proof, he said, could be that the rigor of studies performed on rats cannot be replicated on humans. As brain imaging evolves, he expects more to be known about the plasticity of human brains with regard to games and puzzles.
On a Friday afternoon last month, Gaskins, having unloaded 10 boxes of games out of her Toyota RAV4 at Woodfield Mall and gulped down a Jimmy John's BLT, tied on the black apron worn by the brain coaches and emerged on the retail floor.
She sidled up to Jill Nangle, 59, of Hanover Park, who picked up product after product, trying to find gifts for her four grandsons.
Gaskins asked her what they liked to do, and Nangle said they loved sports. One of them had picked up an interest in art.
She guided Nangle through the 250 products Marbles sells to a Buddha Board, which can be painted on repeatedly with water. Gaskins shared that her 8-year-old nephew wanted one too. She then picked up a couple of OgoSport discs, demonstrating how they can serve as a way to work on coordination. Nangle also picked up an OgoSport package and deposited it at the cash register.
Nangle left the store about an hour later. Her purchases totaled about $500.
"Someone like her is our perfect customer," Gaskins said.
In addition to her leadership qualities, her no-pressure sales demeanor and the parts of herself she critiques — "I'm not a great communicator," she said — Gaskins said she is aware of her position as a gay female CEO, though she does not want that aspect to define her.
"I don't have, like, a gay flag on my chest when I go into a business meeting," she said. "But I'm open about it, and people are surprised by it. It's not assumed someone's gay when you meet them."
Gaskins met Barnard in Chicago eight years ago while they played in a recreational basketball league. Both had been captains of their college teams, Gaskins at Wesleyan University in Connecticut and Barnard at Harvard University in Massachusetts.
On the court, Barnard said, she noticed how often Gaskins passed the ball, which she felt reflected a cooperative spirit that drew others toward her.
"She is such a natural leader. She just has it in here," Barnard said, tapping the side of her head. "It's not, like, this dictator-type, selfish leader. There's a generosity of time and effort. She rarely gets flustered or angry or extreme."
Their first date consisted of a long conversation after a basketball game, at The Lion Head Pub in Lincoln Park.
"We laugh, because it's the most fratty pub; it's a sports bar," Gaskins said. "But it was like, 'Whoa! We've been talking for three hours!' We fell in love."
They married at the University of Chicago's Quadrangle Club in August 2007. (Gaskins said they likely will obtain a civil union license from Cook County but are in no hurry to do so.) Almost three years later, they had Lulu, who has inherited Gaskins' chestnut curls.
On weeknights, Gaskins strives to get home before 6 p.m., the time the nanny leaves, so she can spend the rest of the evening with her family.
"She really has a lot of love for Laura and for Lulu," Brown said, "and you can feel that from her, and it's infectious in the culture of Marbles."
Toward the end of the workday, a little past 5 p.m. on a Friday, Gaskins drove back to the company's headquarters on North Ashland Avenue near the Kennedy Expressway overpass. She stepped inside the exposed-brick building, greeted by employees' questions of, "How was it?"
She answered that her visits to Marbles stores at Woodfield Mall and Lincoln Square went well, and her staffers gestured at the barricade of boxes around them.
The delivery Gaskins had chatted about on the phone that morning had arrived. Package after package of Mindstein and Mind Your Marbles, two of the company's creations, were stacked on the floor — 11,000 of them.
Gaskins laughed, taking in the piles around her. Then she headed for the boxes, hands outstretched, ready to help do some lifting.

Barclays Adds a Dash of Quant to Equity Research
A new Barclays PLC (BCS, BARC.LN) effort in its research department aims to go beyond traditional buy-or-sell stock advice, embracing numbers-based "quantitative" research with a program designed to supplement its analysts' opinions.
The latest offering is a shift away from the traditional standard for stock research, where banks primarily offer their analysts' opinions on how much their analysts think shares are worth and whether investors should buy, sell or hold the shares.
"Clients rarely make a decision using a single analyst's opinion. They'll go around Wall Street and find other points of view," said Rob Rouse, Barclays's deputy head of U.S. equity research. He says the new program should "help them find other points of view from around our own firm."

Requests Spike for 'BibleStick' Devices Providing Spiritual Support to Army Experience
A Christian software developer that creates "BibleStick" pocket-sized digital audio devices that can play the entire New Testament is reporting that requests for its product have spiked higher than ever before as the July 4 holiday approaches.
Faith Comes By Hearing (FCBH) said in a statement that since 2008, more than 218,000 units have been freely distributed to more than 1,000 chaplains who have used them during pre-deployment briefings, counseling sessions, chapel services, Bible studies and upon direct request of service members. The organization was established in 1972, and is celebrating its 40th year of ministry.
FCBH also revealed that those demands were rising, and as of the first half of June, more than 80 chaplains have asked for over 20,000 Military BibleSticks to be used in the Army.
"While a surge in demand can quickly deplete the ministry's inventory, FCBH continues to view that as a blessing in disguise," the organization said.
"We really have to work diligently year-round to meet the ongoing requests from chaplains, but the reward for us and our great donors is knowing more and more of our troops have access to God's Word with their very own BibleStick," said Troy Carl, vice president of Faith Comes By Hearing.
The Bible software program is mostly funded by individual donors, who respond to on-air campaigns done on Christian radio and TV. Additionally, more than 5,000 congregations across America will discuss the project around the 4th of July holiday, and have partnered with the ministry to ensure Army men and women continue receiving as much spiritual support as possible free of charge.
"As we celebrate our country's birthday, we need to remember and honor those who are defending the freedom and independence we cherish," Carl continued. "We will continue to do that by providing God's Word in audio for their spiritual protection as they continue to protect us."
Besides BibleSticks, Faith Comes By Hearing also provides free access to Audio Scripture in over 650 languages through streaming and downloads.

Cancer Research by Augustana Grad Featured in National Journal
A study on therapeutic targets for breast cancer co-authored by an Augustana alumna is featured on the cover of a national scientific research journal.
The project, "Multiple Functions of Sushi Domain Containing 2 (SUSD2) in Breast Tumorigenesis," part of the thesis project by Allison (Eslinger) Watson, class of 2007, is the cover story of the February 2013 issue of Molecular Cancer Research, a monthly journal published by the American Association for Cancer Research.
Watson, now a student at the University of South Dakota Sanford School of Medicine's Physician-Scientist (MD/PhD) Program, says her interest in medical research was sparked during her time at Augustana as a Biology major.
"I owe much of my current success to the Biology department at Augustana. My interest in science and medicine was fueled by the enthusiasm and excitement for research I experienced while part of the Biology department. The devotion to development of student researchers at Augustana is absolutely unmatched. I had the opportunity to connect with world-class scientists [and] was encouraged and supported throughout my journey. I owe much of my success to many wonderful mentors in the Biology department. Dr. Maureen Diggins [professor emerita of Biology] played a large role in encouraging me, even as a young student, to explore options for scientific research in Sioux Falls through the Biomedical Research Infrastructure Network (BRIN). After realizing my dreams for pursuing a career that would allow me to influence both clinical and research aspects of breast cancer, Dr. Paul Egland [associate professor of Biology and chief health professions adviser] and Dr. Michael Wanous [professor of Biology and associate academic Dean] helped me get into the Physician Scientist program at the Sanford School of Medicine," Watson said. "The Biology department at Augustana has mastered the perfect balance between nurturing and pushing students to succeed, which fosters the development of some outstanding young scientists that will inevitably remain emotionally and academically attached to the department for years!"
After graduating from Augustana in 2007, Watson entered the MD/PhD program at USD, a program in which students complete two years of medical school curriculum, followed by three years to complete a Ph.D. in the Basic Biomedical Science department. The final two years of the program are designated for completion of the third and fourth years of the medical school curriculum. Watson successfully defended her thesis dissertation in May of 2012 and then re-entered the medical school curriculum in Sioux Falls.
"My thesis focused on breast cancer, specifically the identification and characterization of a gene involved in the immune system's recognition and response to breast tumors. I was under the direction of Dr. Kristi Egland of Sanford Research."
"I feel very passionately about the impact the Augustana Biology department has had on my own development as a Physician-Scientist!"

Billy Joel surprised his fans with a decision to perform on Long Island Wednesday night.
The Piano Man made the spontaneous decision to play at The Paramount in Huntington while rehearsing there last week for his upcoming European tour.
The concert benefitted Long Island Cares, a Hauppauge-based charity founded by singer-songwriter Harry Chapin. The food shelter feeds 3,000 people a year.
U.S. & World
It was Joel's first Long Island concert since he played Nassau Coliseum in 2002 with Elton John.
Tickets for Wednesday night's show at the 1,555-seat Paramount sold out in 15 minutes. Ticket resellers marked the prices up extensively -- some sold for more than $1,000. The markup frustrated some fans who couldn't get into The Paramount to see the show.
"There are millions of Billy Joel fans on Long Island," said Brian Doyle, the venue's owner. "I don't know how we would please everybody."
The Long Island native will be honored by the Kennedy Center in December for his contribution to popular culture.

In 1993, a veteran lead engineer was operating a train in heavy fog when he spotted a red stop light at an approaching intersection with another rail line. Using an emergency braking maneuver, he managed to stop the lead engine a few feet into the crossing. Seconds later, an approaching train collided nearly head-on into the stopped train, causing the engineer's death and serious injuries to other crew members. One year later, a lawsuit was filed by the engineer's estate and family members, who claimed that a faulty positioned and unlit distance signal which, if visible, would have warned of the approaching intersection, caused the collision.
Seven years later, in 2000, the case went to trial in the 342nd District Court. In the interim, both sides had inspected the scene of the collision, including the distance signal and had videotaped the signal as they rode a train over the tracks while the signal was in place. But by the time of trial, for unknown reasons the actual signal post had been taken from the accident scene; it was missing and could not be found.
At trial, the railroad's attorneys used a "typical" distance signal that had been pieced together from other used signals as a demonstrative aid. This exhibit was different from the original signal – it had newer equipment and a more powerful light bulb. Its surface had also been wiped clean before it had been brought into the courtroom. When the judge learned of this, he accused the railroad's attorneys of altering evidence, declared a mistrial, imposed a $10,000 fine against the railroad's attorney personally and levied a $10,000,000 fine against the railroad. Several days later, however, without explanation, the judge set aside the fines and recused himself from presiding any further over the case.
Shortly thereafter, the Presiding Regional Judge assigned the case to Judge Bonnie Sudderth of the 352nd District Court. Prior to retrial of the case, plaintiffs sought to have the sanctions reinstated. Judge Sudderth denied the request, finding that nothing in the record showed that the railroad had tried to pass off the exhibit as something that it wasn't. "It seems abundantly clear that everyone in the courtroom – the judge, the attorneys, the witness and the jury – knew that the signal was a demonstrative aid, and nothing more." The signal, Judge Sudderth ruling against the sanctions motion, could have been "run through a car wash" with no harm, since everyone in the courtroom was aware that it was an exemplar, not the original signal. However, the judge did find that by failing to preserve such a critical piece of evidence, the railroad had "negligently destroyed" it, and Judge Sudderth gave the jury a spoliation instruction that they could "presume that the destroyed signal was unfavorable" to the railroad's position in the lawsuit.
Less than a year later, it was tried again to a jury, who found no negligence on the part of the railway or the engineer at the time of the collision. (The National Transportation Safety Board had also investigated the incident and found no fault on the part of the railroad or any of its crew members.) The jury's verdict was not appealed, and the parties later reached a confidential financial settlement to finally put the matter to rest.

Steins;Gate Movie - News & Anticipation (No Game Spoilers)
As announced the end of the 24th episode of the Steins;Gate TV show, a movie is now been confirmed.
You may use this thread to discuss any news and speculation/anticipation relating to this movie, but please avoid any spoilers from any aspects of the game that may not have been shown in the anime and thus could impact the movie.

I'm sure there's lots of details and stuff in the universe that weren't explored, but off the top of my head I can't imagine what the movie would be about. The plot is too detailed to be crammed into a summary-type movie (at least IMO), and I dunno what a sequel would be about, so I guess a side-story is likely...?
Whatever the case, I'm looking forward to it.

I'm really excited for this, although I'm wondering what the movie will be based on. A movie adaptation of the VN won't work, else they sacrifice a lot of the things that made the TV anime work.
I'm guessing an adaptation of Boukan no Rebellion would work. It would be nice seeing Suzuha's backstory in action.

Would like to see the future side and how Okabe fought against SERN as well as how he planned out contacting his old self etc. (Don't quite understand how he can make it so that he can only access the video after failing once at saving my beloved).
Would also be nice to get some further closure on the characters' lives. I want more Okabe x Kurisu damnit!

I guess I just assumed the movie would be what most anime tv series' movies are: a compression of the tv show into 1.5 hours (ie: 24 episodes into the space of 4), and thus an utter abomination to anyone who watched the actual series.
Or is there any info indicating that it'll actually be a side/alternate story instead?

Considering how well the sales are now, I wouldn't have been surprised if they announced a new series animating the Hiyoku Renri no Darling (in omnibus format for this one =~)but a movie? =O I'm really curious to see now what's gonna be about, since Darling is basically fanservice it's hard to think about an entire movie regarding this one

Odd thing, I didn't see any movie clips from the subs I watched... though I did see the promo images on the RandomC blog post, so thanks to Guardian Enzo for that, I would have completely missed it otherwise!
My guess is it's either a streamlined version of the anime with some additional animation, or a whole new sort of prologue story detailing Suzuha's fight against SERN's dystopia before she decided to time travel back to 1975. Alternatively, it could be focused on WWIII. Either is an awesome option.

My hope would be Boukan no Rebellion adaptation or an original story take place after the True End (since Steins;Gate world line has uncertain future).
Or the third option is an official short story about what happened one year after Mayuri was being shot by Moeka in episode 12 (I forgot the title name).

Very curious what the movie will be about too. Just hope it isn't just a condensed version of the series.
As to what I'd like to see... I don't really know lol. Maybe the "Steins;Gate" world line ends up being not so perfect and they have to go through another crazy adventure.

The .5pb president confirmed that the movie is not a summary of the series and since it is a serious world line, it is not an adaptation of Darling either.
I doubt it's an original story. I'd say chances are high that it's an adaptation of Boukan no Rebellion, since that explores the side of the S;G story that didn't get enough development and focus.
