My name is Jamie Butler. My life has definitely been extra-ordinary. As far as I can remember I have always been able to see the lights surrounding people and inanimate objects (energy fields). Along with seeing energy, I see spirits (clairvoyant) and I hear them (clairaudient). As a child, I would play hide and go seek with my spirit friends, but now as an adult, they give me great insight and guidance. Throughout the years of working with my guides, I have learned how to channel spirit, which is when a spirit relays messages by borrowing my body and voice to communicate to others. Between the ages of 6 to 17, I let go of my abilities at the request of my mother. At the age of 18, I reconnected with these abilities, and I then began giving readings publicly when I was 20. I grew up in Central Florida, which is where I studied ��ïÿý���ï��ïÿý���ÿ��ïÿý���ýPsychic Awareness��ïÿý���ï��ïÿý���ÿ��ïÿý���ý with Marguerite Romeis for eight years. Marguerite taught me how to control my abilities and encouraged me to study Reiki (an ancient Tibetan healing art). I received the status of Reiki Master four years later in 1996. After completion of a bachelor��ïÿý���ï��ïÿý���ÿ��ïÿý���ýs degree at the University of Florida I earned a Massage and Hydro-Therapy certification in 1998 from the Florida School of Massage. I then relocated to Atlanta where I live today. In 2000, I received a Master Hypnotherapist degree from The New York Institute. I extended this education with a one week intensive in past life regression with Dr. Brian Weiss, MD at the Omega Institute. Already working worldwide with my readings, I decided to launch a company in 2001, Love and Light LLC, designed to support, create, and inspire spiritual growth through public channeling, guest lecturers, classes and private sessions for all ages. Throughout the years, I have been a guest speaker at the University of Florida, Gwinnett College and Georgia Perimeter College in Atlanta, and a frequent presenter for groups and radio shows throughout the US. In the summer of 2010, I had my first scheduled appointment with Elisa Medhus and met her son Erik. This one encounter grew into a magical relationship with the ��ïÿý���ï��ïÿý���ÿ��ïÿý���ýChanneling Erik��ïÿý���ï��ïÿý���ÿ��ïÿý���ý community. Now, not only do I have the pleasure of channeling Erik for his mother��ïÿý���ï��ïÿý���ÿ��ïÿý���ýs blog www.channelingerik.com, but I also travel the states teaching weekend workshops, hosting conference calls, fielding radio interviews and work with the Channeling Erik YouTube Channel. This is just the beginning! In 2012 Love and Light expanded and welcomed certified massage therapist Corey Dobyns of Core Balance and Wellness to The Center. Corey has been a huge asset to the center��ïÿý���ï��ïÿý���ÿ��ïÿý���ýs growth. The Center for Love and Light continues to evolve and now hosts teachers, healers, and lecturers from all over the globe. It is a wonderful place for me to call home. I find it no coincidence that you are here to enjoy it with me. Currently, I have a client base built solely through personal referrals with people in every State in the U.S. and stretching internationally to over twenty other countries.

Keeley "cousins" — frauds or visionaries???
It's nearly impossible to research the Keely/Keeley surname for any length of time without coming across articles and information on John W. Keely and his infamous motor and Dr. Leslie Keeley and his nearly equally infamous gold cure for alcohol addiction. Both of these gentlemen and their dubious "inventions" garnered a lot of press in the late 1800s. I am certainly finding this to be the case with Historical Newspaper collection on Genealogybank. Luckily the search options provide an excluded words field, so by excluding motor and cure, a lot of these articles can be omitted from the results!
Just for the record, at this point, neither of these gentlemen appear to connect to my line of German Keely/Keeleys. I have found one tree on WorldConnect that says the father of Leslie Keeley was a Thomas Keeley who was born in Ireland and apparently immigrated to Canada sometime in the mid-1830s. My German Keely/Keelys came to Pennsylvania about 100 years before that. I do have some evidence to suggest that they may have been one of Palatinate families who first relocated to Ireland before coming to America, so I suppose there is a possible connection way back. That, however, is beyond the scope of what I am currently working on.
The ancestry of John W. Keeley, of motor fame, has been much harder to pin down. He was from the Philadelphia area. Supposedly his parents died when he was young and he was raised by his grandparents. Census data from 1880 shows that both his parents were born in PA. There is probably a pretty good chance he is related to my line, but I haven't yet been able to make a connection. Possibly due to the dubious (some may say fraudulent) nature of his motor, articles and obituaries written about other Keeleys and Keelys who were his contemporaries do not claim him as a relative. And so the search continues!!

The inspiration for this portfolio is a brick-and-mortar (or in my case, probably plaster and peeling paint?) art gallery. I was going to go with something that scrolls left and right as if you are walking through, but it felt so... constrained... contrived... limiting. For a portfolio piece, I really wanted something that showcased both my technical knowledge and graphic skill. So I broke out of the shell a bit with this one and made an original mashup of some leading web technologies combined with my own need for an easy-to-edit showcase of my creative work.

A little-noticed Scandinavian study is adding an intriguing new wrinkle to Canada's debate over breast-cancer screening, suggesting that many tumours found by mammograms - and often treated with surgery - would have simply vanished on their own.
A leading Canadian breast cancer scientist is touting the research as a possible paradigm shift in medicine's understanding of the disease, but acknowledges the study's provocative conclusions and their fascinating implications will divide the scientific community.
"[It] goes contrary to just about everything we think we know about breast cancer," said Dr. Steven Narod, the world's most-cited breast-cancer researcher. "It's a question that will at this point polarize the scientific community into the believers and the non-believers. The implications are extraordinary."
The notion that many cancers disappear without treatment calls into question the value of some screening and points to potential new ways of tackling the more lethal cases, said Dr. Narod, who practises at Toronto's Women's College Hospital.
The long-standing, emotional debate over when to start screening women for breast cancer with regular mammograms flared up again last month, when an independent task force recommended against routine tests for women under 50. The panel said screening creates too many risks - false positives and unnecessary treatment of non-life-threatening malignancies - while bringing relatively little benefits in terms of saving lives in those 40-something women.
Critics, however, said the task force used outdated evidence that underestimated the benefits and exaggerated the harms of screening.
Earning little attention at the time was a study published in October in the journal Lancet Oncology by PerHenrik Zahl of the Norwegian Institute of Public Health and colleagues.
The team looked at two large, age-matched groups of women in Sweden. Starting in the late 1980s, one cohort of about 300,000 received annual mammograms for six years. A control group underwent no screening for the first four years, then had mammograms in the last two.
Conventional thinking would suggest that the cumulative number of cancers found in both groups would be about the same at the end of the six years. Surprisingly, however, the outcome was quite different: The cohort of women who were screened annually - and likely treated when a tumour was found - had accumulated significantly more tumours - 174 more per 100,000.
The only explanation for why the unscreened women would have fewer cancers, the authors concluded, is that many breast tumours appear, then spontaneously just go away.
"It could be some kind of immune response," said Dr. Zahl in an interview Tuesday. "When a tumour goes in regression, there is something outside that is happening to it."
He pointed to a 2007 case study by Slovakian doctors that may represent a dramatic illustration of the possible phenomenon. A woman was diagnosed with a relatively large breast tumour but had her surgery delayed because of a car accident. A month later, the cancer had somehow disappeared.
Another top researcher in the breast cancer field has dismissed the Swedish-Norwegian findings, noting that they came from an observational study involving realworld screening programs, rather than a controlled trial in which researchers randomly assign subjects to one group or another, considered the most-reliable kind of medical evidence.
The groups of Swedish women were in separate regions of the country and any number of differences between them could have explained the divergent numbers of cancers, said Dr. Martin Yaffe, an expert on diagnostic imaging at Toronto's Sunnybrook Research Institute.
"If this was evidence presented in a court case, I think it would be thrown out," he said. "It's extremely speculative."
Regardless, there is no other, more direct evidence that any cancers simply "melt away" on their own, as intriguing as the idea seems, Dr. Yaffe said.
Dr. Zahl disagrees, saying there is research suggesting "regression" in cases of childhood neuroblastoma and melanoma, as well.
He concedes that it is unclear why some cancer might simply die off on its own, but the explanation likely lies with the impact of the patient's immune system on the tumour, he said.
If the Scandinavian conclusions prove true, examining the qualities of the vanishing cancers could point to new ways of treating the more lethal ones, Dr. Narod said, noting that he is now investigating research along those lines.
Both he and Dr. Zahl argued that the conclusions also call into question the value of regular mammogram screening of some women, if many of the tumours found end up evaporating. The Norwegian scientist goes further, suggesting that women diagnosed with the smallest tumours could in some cases be given minimal treatment with drugs like Tamoxifen and monitored to see if the tumour progresses - similar to the "watchful waiting" approach sometimes used with prostate cancer.
Dr. Narod, however, said the strategy would be too risky with breast cancer, given it is impossible now to distinguish between "the bad actors and the good actors" - the tumours that will keep growing and cause death if not treated, and those that, perhaps, will disappear if left alone.

Concentrating Solar thermal Power (CSP) – a step in the right direction, but no panacea
by Shaun Chamberlin on May 19th, 2008
As I mentioned in my earlier post, last week I met Polly Higgins, The Lazy Environmentalist. She specialises in CSP, and informed me that we may now be seeing serious political movement towards an EU-MENA supergrid bringing CSP-generated electricity to Europe from the deserts of North Africa and the Middle East.
For those not familiar with the concept, CSP is not about photovoltaic solar panels, but rather the simple use of mirrors to focus solar heat on pipes filled with water. This generates steam which turns turbines to generate electricity. It is a simple low-tech concept that has been operating a 165 MW power plant in California for over 20 years.
It has been calculated that, if it was covered with CSP plants, an area of hot desert of about 254 km x 254 km — less than 1% of the total area of such deserts — would produce as much electricity as is currently consumed by the whole world.
An area measuring 110 km x 110 km, a small fraction of the area of desert in North Africa and the Middle East, would produce the same amount of electricity as the European Union consumed in 2004. This is illustrated graphically below the cut.
So this political movement towards a CSP supergrid is a very significant development, and, I think, a positive one. Read more »

Puffed Pancake
It was extremely puffed when it came out of the oven (so much so it split in a few places) but flattened out as it cooled. I found it really dense in the center and I'm not sure if it's because of the pan I used (would a bigger one thin it out?) or if it's just how it is. I don't remember what my last puffed pancake was like. I used Taza's recipe.
There's Lily trying to soak up what little sun there was. Sometimes I catch her falling asleep sitting up because she loves it so much.

Awww that happy sleepy face is too sweet! Dante does the same thing with finding the sun. 🙂 And that pancake looks amazing with all those strawberries!

that looks delicious! and don't get me started on that puppy face!

The news of the mass murder in Roseburg, Oregon barely made my heart race. Oh well, I thought, another nut case with access to guns decided to make a name for himself by executing a bunch of students at a community college. Then, true to form he blew his brains out. Within hours, the oh-so-boring political conversations followed but we'll be back to normal right after the bodies of the victims are laid to rest. We'll be back to listening to Donald Trump but in a short while there will be more "Breaking News" from somewhere else in the country.
In response to the murders, liberals in Congress once again are asking for more controls on the sale of guns. They do not suggest that it will stop the violence in its tracks, just that it might deter the would-be murderer and maybe save a few lives. Conservatives, of course, decry any more regulations, especially a national waiting period and/or background checks. It's as if they actually want the next mass murderer to be able to walk into Franks Gun Shop and come out with an arsenal, no questions asked. After all, he's just exercising his precious right to bear arms, right?
It's funny, though, how those same conservatives think that we should make it almost impossible for a woman to exercise her constitutionally protected right to have an abortion. Pregnant? Oh no, young lady, slow down. Before you make the rash decision to kill your baby, there are a few rules and regulations that you gotta deal with.
For example, when you make your appointment and walk into the abortion clinic, you're going to see a counselor. These clearly biased counselors will make it sound like abortion is a walk in the park. But you're lucky that we're here to clarify. That's why we've passed laws requiring the counselor to tell you all about the dangers of abortion, how that fetus is tantamount to a ten year old Little Leaguer, how you will get breast cancer, who you have other options besides abortion (really?) and that you might ultimately regret your abortion. Sorry, we're just educating you before you make this important decision.
And once you've got all the correct information, we still think you should cool down, not make any rash decisions, think about it a little more. So that's why we propose a 24 hour WAITING PERIOD before you decide to kill your baby. That's right. Lest you think you can just willy-nilly exercise your constitutional right to terminate your pregnancy, you need to relax, honey, you need to chill out and think about this. I mean, who are you to think that you can make this decision so quickly?
We're here to protect the lives of those cute little babies.
But if you have a hankering to shoot up a movie theater, go for it.

So you're sad that MTV's Jersey Shore is over, and you want to keep it going in your own life. While many may find that decision a little questionable, if you're pumping your fist in the air right now at the thought of it, then you might benefit from a few of these fashion tips:
UNDERGARMENTS: The baseline for any self-respecting Jersey Shore female is ample cleavage. If you weren't naturally blessed in that area, however, technology has you covered (so to speak). The Miracle Bra by Victoria's Secret is still one of the most popular push-up bras out there, and they look pretty enough to be exposed in true Sammi "Sweetheart" style. If you're still wanting more oomph, invest in a pair of Cleavage Cupcakes to transform any bra into the ultimate lift.
U.S. & World
TOPS: Now that your goods are where they should be, it's time to accentuate them with clothing. When you're searching for tops to go out, the more cleavage, the merrier. The Zoe Halter Top at Frederick's of Hollywood is a perfect example of the look you are going for if you loved Jenni "JWOWW." Otherwise, something tight, flashy and plunging like this Sequin Tank from Express will do nicely.
DRESSES: When it comes to dresses, think form-fitting and garishly patterned. A perfect example is the Drape Front Sublimation Dress at Frederick's of Hollywood, because it combines tie-dye with animal print, and bares that all-important cleavage. Meanwhile, more conservative ladies will appreciate the extra coverage of this Lace Micro Mini.
BEAUTY: Your look won't be complete without the super-bronzed look and smokey eye. For the deepest faux tan possible, one of the best products on the market is Guerlain's 'Terracotta' Sunless Self-Tanning Balm. This spray-on tanner not only gives you an enviable glow any time of year, but it also contains moisturizers that are actually good for your skin.
For the perfect smokey eye, check out Cargo's SmokyEye Kit. Not only does it include the eyeliner, blending brush and mascara that you need, but it also includes an instruction booklet for achieving the perfect look. And it's on sale!
CLOTHING :When it comes to getting dressed, males have it easier on the Jersey Shore. T-shirts with graphic prints are the basic uniform, with Ed Hardy being the most popular choice. Men who aren't into color may find Affliction clothing a little more pleasing to the eye, while guys who would go for neon a la "DJ Pauly D" will find this year's Express line to be right up their alley.
ACCESSORIES: The true Guido will pay attention to all the details, including bling and beauty. Every male must have a pair of Stunna Shades with him day and night, and these Metal Shield Sunglasses fit that bill nicely. They don't have to match the bling, though, which typically consists of a cross on a chain.
Also required is a gel strong enough to hold faux-hawks and pompadours in place no matter what. The Matrix Men Firm Fix Extra Strong Hold Styling Gel is good for defined hair styles that want high shine and extra strong hold factor.
Have fun Guidos and Guidettes!

A new pair of glasses to view Earth
Our view of Earth is set to become even sharper with new instruments to be carried on ESA's Sentinel-3 satellites. In many ways, it will be like looking at Earth through a new pair of glasses.
Sentinel-3 is one of the five missions that ESA is developing for Europe's Global Monitoring for Environment and Security (GMES) initiative.
Primarily, Sentinel-3 will deliver data for GMES services related to the marine environment, such as ocean-current forecasting services that need surface-temperature information, sea-water quality and pollution-monitoring services requiring ocean-colour products and surface-wave information for maritime safety.
The mission will also supply data for numerous land services, such as fire detection and land-cover mapping.
To achieve this, the Sentinel-3 satellites carry a suite of advanced instruments, including a precision radar altimeter, an infrared radiometer and a wide-swath ocean and land colour radiometer.
The first satellite is scheduled to be launched in 2013, followed by the second to maximise coverage.
The Sentinel-3 Experiment campaign, or Sen3Exp for short, was carried out last year to simulate acquisitions by the mission's optical instruments: the Ocean and Land Colour Instrument (OLCI) and the Sea Land Surface Temperature Radiometer (SLSTR).
The campaign, which took place in Spain, Italy and the Ligurian and Adriatic Seas, was a huge international effort involving over 60 scientists from Europe and Canada, six satellite instruments, three airborne hyperspectral instruments and 50 instruments to collect data on the ground.
One highlight of the activity was the reprogramming of the Medium Resolution Imaging Spectrometer (MERIS) instrument on ESA's Envisat satellite to correspond to a subset the spectral bands that OLCI on Sentinel-3 will use in the future.
Operating in 21 spectral bands, OLCI will effectively supersede MERIS, which has 15 bands.
This major campaign was coordinated to allow scientists on the ground and at sea to take ground-truth measurements while aircraft carrying the sensitive hyperspectral instruments passed overhead and satellites acquired data simultaneously from space.
The instruments on the aircraft covered the whole spectral ranges of OLCI and SLSTR – from the UV at 400 nm to the thermal-infrared wavelength of 12 µm.
Carsten Brockmann, the campaign's Principal Investigator, said, "The campaign was a tremendous international effort that provided a unique and important dataset for the preparation of the Sentinel-3 mission and possibly beyond."
In order to simulate Sentinel-3 data products accurately, the vast amount of data collected during the campaign had to be carefully analysed and processed – a complex task that took a year to complete.
Nevertheless, the effort has been worthwhile and scientists have been rewarded with results that clearly show the added benefits these two instruments will bring and that help to visualise the future images of Earth expected from Sentinel-3.
In particular, the additional spectral bands offered by OLCI will make a step change in ocean and land colour data products, so that, for example, phytoplankton in seawater and different types of land cover can be detected more accurately.
The clarity of the new products will effectively be like putting on a new pair of glasses, sharper, clearer and a more detailed view of Earth's surfaces.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – .Senate Democratic Leader Chris Smith said Wednesday that the state's culture of violence calls for changes to the "stand your ground" self-defense law, but the Senate President sent a clear signal that major changes aren't likely.
"To put our heads in the sand when it comes to this controversial (law) is wrong," Smith told a gathering of newspaper editors at the Associated Press Annual Legislative Planning session in Tallahassee.
The law propelled Florida into the national spotlight last year when a neighborhood watch volunteer shot and killed an unarmed 17-year-old, Trayvon Martin, who was visiting his father in a Sanford gated community.
After weeks of national protests when the Sanford police initially declined to arrest the shooter, Gov. Rick Scott appointed a task force to study the law and make recommendations on its use. The panel's draft findings did not call for significant changes.
Senate President Don Gaetz, R-Niceville, said he won't support any major changes, either.
"I don't plan to vote for any repeal of stand your ground or any weakening of the Second Amendment," said Gaetz, who also spoke to the AP gathering.
Smith had asked to be appointed to the Scott task force, but was not. Instead, he convened a task force in his Fort Lauderdale-area district.
On Wednesday, Smith said the Florida Department of Law Enforcement should keep records on the use of "stand your ground," a proposal (SB 136) in a bill he's already filed.
He also suggested giving law enforcement officers the ability to detain someone who claims "stand your ground" in order to do an investigation.
And he called for preventing the aggressor in an incident to claim "stand your ground." Instead, Smith said, a jury should decide if the aggressor was rational in his or her actions.
Other lawmakers are filing bills directed at "stand your ground," including Rep. Alan Williams, D-Tallahassee, who filed an outright repeal with the support of Trayvon Martin's mother, Sybrina Fulton.
Rep. Dennis Baxley, R-Ocala and sponsor of the original 2005 "stand your ground" law, also has resisted major changes.
"I'm going to be very cautious about doing anything that will diminish the ability of a law-abiding citizen to defend themselves from harm," said Baxley, who sat on the Scott task force and chairs the House Judiciary Committee.
"We will consider anything," Baxley added. "That doesn't mean we'll hear it in committee."
Smith said he knew Republican legislative leaders were reluctant to give his ideas a hearing, but he's digging in.
"I've tried to do it the nice way of waiting," he said. "And now I think we're going to put more pressure and really start really making it a major issue."

NASA photo may show face of half human, half ... use your imagination
Look up in the sky! It's a bird, it's a plane. Well, maybe not.
According to UFO Sightings Daily, there could be intelligent life on Mars - at least intelligent enough to craft some nifty artwork.
A weekend post on the popular website ufosightingsdaily.com said that a highly detailed face of a species of alien was spotted on Mars on July 28.
The face is half sheep and half human, and "look carefully and you will see the upper and lower lips, chin, jaw, cheeks, eye, nose, nostrils, and long flowing hair," according to the website, maintained by blogger Scott C. Waring.
And that ain't all, folks.
"Last year I found a similar sheep-human face on Mars," the post states. "For some reason its a difficult thing for people accept when they first see them."
In March, UFO Sightings Daily said someone in Japan who was scrutinizing photos released by NASA discovered another the strange creature's image - this one could be a rat or lizard.

If you want to know Kemba Shannon, watch her dance.
"Any of the emotions that I can't release on the street, I put it into my dancing," she says. "I express that through movement to get away, to escape the false reality of real life."
Shannon has performed on Broadway and toured the world with the likes of Celine Dion, Pink and Madonna for 20 years. Currently, she runs the Kemba Shannon Dance Center in the Kenton neighborhood. In addition to training teens in her company, the center also provides youth and adult classes for residents interested in getting fit.
The Baltimore native is a recent Portland transplant. During her four years in the city, she has dealt with challenges in getting her art to the community and expressing her culture. Dance allows her to exercise the stress and get her point across without being silenced. In many ways, Portland is her latest challenge.
One of Shannon's first obstacles was learning to deal with alopecia. Instead of letting the condition get her down, she turned it into a point of strength. Some people who see her bold, high energy performances assume her bald head is a fashion choice.
"It's funny because in L.A. they look for characters," she says. "I felt like if I had wigs on and had the Beyoncé look, they wouldn't have chosen me. They chose me because I was different."
Shannon knew dancing was her calling in middle school. Even then, she pictured herself on prominent stages like the Emmys and Oscars.
"I was drawn by the excitement of dance and it became my passion," she says.
In addition to performing, Shannon also took an interest in choreography at a young age. She would create her own routines while practicing the ones assigned by her teacher.
Shannon was inspired by Michael and Janet Jackson, as well as legendary choreographers Bill T. Jones and Alvin Ailey.
"They've really inspired me as an ongrowing choreographer," she says. "I'm always learning.
"I don't choreograph just to choreograph."
She brings her emotions to her work and depicts what she sees. Her work explores themes like war, love and poverty. The goal is to help heal some of the community's issues by illustrating them through the lens of dance.
She hopes the community will support the dance center more.
When Shannon first opened its doors, the neighborhood didn't seem interested. Eventually, she had to close the doors and focus on her company.
Initially, she struggled with the lack of interest.
Shannon's Company performs at Diatribe in the Park
Family and local community members helped get her through. Shannon cites her parents, teachers, Todd Strickland and her daughter for constant support throughout the journey. She gives special thanks to Bobby and Liz Fouther, who helped her push on despite setbacks in developing her dance center.
Now that the program has grown, more people are coming to peer in on her training.
In response to the increase in community interest, Shannon opened up the doors again and is offering youth and adult classes.
Still, her primary focus is on the dancers in her company.
"My teaching style is raw," says Shannon. "I'm really hard on them.
"To be a part of my company you must have passion to work hard and know that we are pushing you because we care."
As an instructor, she is a stickler for being on time, abiding by the dress code and journal writing.
The no-nonsense approach is due in large part to Shannon's experience working with Madonna. She says the music icon taught her how to be a businesswoman.
Madonna would show her dancers every mistake she made and even fired crew on the spot. At the end of the day, she held herself accountable for everything she invested money in and refused to put blind trust in people.
Shannon says that has stuck with her to this day.
Touring with the likes of Madonna also allowed her to experience a broad range of cultures. Wherever she traveled, she would go to the clubs to learn the dances.
Shannon prides herself on being able to take styles from other countries and make them her own. This involves changing anything, including timing, costumes and music. She dissects the dances to recreate her own movements.
"Everything is re-created," says Shannon. "There are so many people that did the moonwalk before Michael Jackson but Michael branded it."
Ultimately, she leads by example. When it comes to aspiring dancers, her advice is simple.
"Put the work in and you shall be rewarded."
The Kemba Shannon Dance Center is located on 2017 N. Kilpatrick St, Portland, Ore. Currently, the center is looking for sponsors for its students. For more information, call 323-691-6409 or email the center.

Hi! I'm Julie from 627handworks.com. My main love is quilting but I always enjoy making a good pouch. Zipper bags are fun to make whether you are a seasoned quilter or just started sewing. Is there really such a thing as too many bags? Never.
1 Mini Charm Pack – Sunnyside by Kate Spain
1 Coordinating Fat Quarter
11″ Zipper
(2) 12 x 10 Pieces of Batting
1/2″ D-Ring for Pull Tab
Interfacing for lining fabric
Break open those Mini Charms.
Choose 36 charms for your quilted exterior, 2 for your zipper stops and 2 for your pull tab.
Lay out the exterior charms. Notice there are no charms on the bottom corners.
When piecing little charms for patchwork I like to chain sew. Use a 1/4″ seam for piecing.
Don't iron quite yet – wait until you have strip sets (rows of charms) in place.
When have your strip sets sewn together, iron the seams with each row going opposite directions.
This makes it easy for lining up the rows. You won't even need to pin! The way you've ironed the seams helps lock them together for sewing.
If you feel more comfortable pinning, go for it. I'm okay using this method for smaller projects that are easier to handle.
Now you should have 2 pieced panels similar to this.
Make the pull tab by taking 2 of the charms we put aside and sew them together, ironing the seam open.
Iron lengthwise to mark the center and open it up. Now fold and iron the edges to the center iron line.
Fold in half again and stitch down the edge of each side.
Optional D-Ring: Fold your tab in half and stitch the ring in place.
Take 2 more of the charms we pulled aside. These will be used as fabric stops for the zipper.
Fold in half, iron and open. Fold and iron a generous 1/4″.
Layer your batting under your fabric panel.
The quilting design is up to you! I stitched straight, diagonal lines through the middle of each charm.
If you do a lot of straight line quilting, chalk markers will line right against your ruler. Makes it kind of nice.
Trim the batting, be careful not to cut any of the charms.
I don't place fabric on the underside and I've never had a problem without it. You can use muslin or scrap fabric if you want, but this will all be hidden.
Cut two 8.5″ x 10.5″ rectangles from your fat quarter. This will be your lining.
Optional Interfacing: Iron the interfacing to your fabric. I like using interfacing because it provides extra stability.
Trim your lining and cut a 2″ square from the bottom corners so they resemble the shape of the quilted panels.
You should have something like this:
Take a fabric zipper stop and fold it over the edge of the zipper end. Sew along the folded edge of the stop to attach.
Open the little tab and cut the zipper down to 1/4″ seam. This removes extra material so the corners aren't so bulky.
Attach the other fabric zipper stop – leaving 8″ between the two stops. Trim the extra zipper material from the inside of that stop as well.
Quilted exterior right side up
Zipper facing down
(center the fabric stops so the same amount of fabric sticks out on the right and left)
Lining right side down
Using a zipper foot sew along the top edge of the exterior-zipper-lining sandwich.
Fold the sewn layers off to one side and layer:
Quilted exterior right side up
Zipper facing down
(the first set of fabrics should be folded down with the other fabrics and out of the way)
Lining right side down
Using a zipper foot sew along the top edge.
Fold each side open. A lining and quilted panel should be wrong sides together on each side.
Top stitch along each side of the zipper and trim the extra fabric off the zipper stops.
Fold the two lining fabrics together – right sides facing.
Fold the two quilted panels together – right sides facing.
Place the pull tab on the inside where the zipper pull will be when the pouch is closed. If the pull tab is too long for your liking, trim a 1/2″ off first.
Make sure your zipper is OPEN!
Line up the top stitching from the two quilted panels and pin in place on each side. This keep your sides lined up.
Sew using a 1/2″ seam down the sides like the image below. Don't sew the corners. Remember to leave a turning hole!
Once the sides are sewn, separate a corner and fold the seams together. Sew using 1/2″ seam.
Repeat for all corners and you should have something that resembles this.
See that little hole we left in the lining? Stick your hand in there and start pulling the bag right side out.
This is why we left that zipper open!
Sew your lining hole closed. This is a good spot to sew in a label.
Stuff the lining down inside the pouch and poke out the corners of the bag and the zipper.
Don't use anything sharp or you'll stab right through your fabric creating an ugly little hole. I may or may not have done this before. And I may or may not have done it more than once.

As noted, the new card packs a total of 2240 Stream Processors, or 1120 per GPU and works at 900MHz for each GPU and 4200MHz for a total of 2GB of GDDR5 memory paired up with a dual 256-bit memory interface. Since we are talking about a custom card, Powercolor used a "Platinum Power Kit" on the PCB that includes 13-phase VRM, ferrite Core Chokes and DrMos.
The cooler that will keep the temps of both GPUs uses two slots and features six heatpipes with Heatpipe Direct Touch technology as well as two fans to keep the card as cool as possible. The card needs two 8-pin PCI-Express power connectors and features two DisplayPort 1.2, HDMI 1.4 and two DVI outputs.
The latest info was that it should be priced at around US $449 and should end up about 15 percent faster than the GTX 580.

How does someone become a Christian? By entering into a personal relationship with God. It's in the Bible, John 17:3, TLB. "And this is the way to have eternal life—by knowing You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, the one You sent to earth!"
Becoming a Christian is changing in response to the gospel message. It's in the Bible, Acts 2:37-38, TLB. "These words of Peter's moved them deeply, and they said to him and to the other apostles, 'Brothers, what should we do?' And Peter replied, 'Each one of you must turn from sin, return to God, and be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins; then you also shall receive this gift, the Holy Spirit.' "
Becoming a Christian is personal and public. It's in the Bible, Romans 10:8-10, TLB. "For salvation that comes from trusting Christ—which is what we preach—is already within easy reach of each of us; in fact, it is as near as our own hearts and mouths. For if you tell others with your own mouth that Jesus Christ is your Lord, and believe in your own heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is by believing in his heart that a man becomes right with God; and with his mouth he tells others of his faith, confirming his salvation."
It is important that one understand that "believing" in Christ is more than an opinion, You need the Holy Spirit to live the Christian life. It's in the Bible, Romans 8:9, NIV. "You, however, are controlled not by the sinful nature but by the Spirit, if the Spirit of God lives in you. And if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Christ."
Christianity encourages honest investigation. It's in the Bible, Luke 1:3-4, NIV. "Therefore, since I myself have carefully investigated everything from the beginning, it seemed good also to me to write an orderly account for you, most excellent Theophilus, so that you may know the certainty of the things you have been taught."

Jobs that require travel or allow recent college grads to work abroad can help build cultural awareness, strengthen one's ability to navigate through dynamic environments, and cultivate a level of agility, which is required by most employers today, says Ayana Pilgrim-Brown, assistant director of career competencies at the Center for Student Professional Development within Temple University's Fox School of Business.
It's no secret working abroad can help recent college grads land that first job. That's why recent college grads seeking frequent travel to exotic locations, should explore options as tour guides, travel consultants, and within the airline industry, says Pilgrim-Brown. For a business student who wants to solidify his or her status as a global business professional, jobs in consulting, supply chain management, and sales offer the chance to travel to vast locations throughout the world. New graduates who aspire to make a difference in the world should consider non-profits and non-governmental organizations. There are several pathways in the areas of development and humanitarian assistance, adds Pilgrim-Brown. And for the multilingual applicant, there are solid prospects using language skills as a TEFL instructor, translator, or interpreter.
"Job seekers should do their due diligence to make sure these opportunities are formalized and in writing with agreeable terms of employment," says Pilgrim-Brown.
Rustic Pathways is a non-profit organization that facilitates educational experiences for students through travel and philanthropy.
"Traveling equips recent college grads with a unique and necessary skill set that will help them create successful careers," said Chris Stakich, CEO of Rustic Pathways. In fact, Stakich is quick to credit how traveling throughout the world for work the first four years of his career helped build professional skills necessary to become CEO.
"Most of my success has been a result of living out of a bag for the first four years of my career," he says.
In addition to service opportunities–such as working with Peace Corps, or with a multinational organization or large employer, or through a non-profit–there are more opportunities than ever for recent college grads to work abroad, and get paid to travel. There are also training opportunities, such as the Rustic Pathways Leader Corp program, which are designed for recent college grads looking to make the transition from college to career.
Traveling for work, and working abroad, teaches these important soft skills that employers covet, says Stakich:

This HDMI extender kit uses HDBaseT 2.0 technology, enabling you to extend 4K HDMI video and four USB 2.0 peripheral devices to a remote location up to 295 feet (90 meters) away, using a single CAT5e or CAT6 cable. The extender can extend 1080p (HD) video even further at up to 330 feet (100 meters).
You can power both the transmitter and receiver using the same single power source, which you can connect to either the extender or receiver using Power Over Cable (POC). You can also connect up to four USB devices on the remote side and support 3D video and 7.1 digital audio. The versatility of this video extender makes it the perfect solution for digital signage applications in large buildings such as commercial shopping centers, stadiums, schools, and hospitals.
What is HDBaseT?
HDBaseT is a standardized, zero-latency video technology that's revolutionizing HDMI distribution. HDBaseT uses an advanced method of modulation that enables you to distribute uncompressed HDMI audio and video along with additional signals such as USB and power over cable.
Extend more with HDBaseT
The extender offers a complete end-to-end solution, using HDBaseT technology to extend HDMI, IR, power and USB over a single CAT5 cable. With power and USB along with your video signal, HDBaseT is the clear choice for every integrator and system designer. The added benefit of power over cable means that you'll only need one power source at one side of your extension, and USB lets you add a console at the remote location - great for extending video and control to areas where power outlets may be limited, such as industrial sites.
Astonishing 4K picture quality from an impressive distance
The A/V industry is quickly adopting 4K as the new high-resolution video standard. But long-range video distribution can be a challenge if you're using standard HDMI cables because the signal becomes susceptible to degradation at 30 feet. HDBaseT maintains your Ultra HD 4K picture quality - four times the resolution of high-definition 1080p - even at 330 feet away from your video source. Plus, because the extender supports high-definition 1080p and lower resolutions, you can comfortably use this extender to make any video source look great, while future proofing your setup for 4K implementation.
Simplify your setup
This extender has been specifically designed for a simple and tidy installation. HDBaseT technology offers single-cable installation, so you can integrate it seamlessly using your existing CAT5e or CAT6 infrastructure. This means that you can avoid the hassle of running multiple Ethernet cables, while reducing potential failure points.
The extender also features Power-over-Cable technology, so you only need one power source for both the extender and receiver units. Mounting hardware is included for both the extender and receiver, for discreet, professional installation.
The ST121HDBTU is TAA compliant is backed by a 2-year StarTech.com warranty with free lifetime technical support.
HDBaseT is a registered trademark of The HDBaseT Alliance.

Frequently Asked Questions
Before You Buy
You should only use video converters and extenders if it is absolutely necessary to do so. In many cases, most video converters and extenders are not necessary if you purchase the correct cable.
The following table lists the maximum length of cable for common video standards.
|Video standard
|Maximum length
|50 ft. (15.2m)
|50 ft. (15.2m)
|50 ft. (15.2m)
|200 ft. (71m)
Note: StarTech.com offers cables longer than what is listed above, including active cables, which typically include built-in active signal boosters that allow for longer cables. Active cables are specifically designed to exceed the suggested maximum lengths and are tested at the listed specifications (for example, the maximum listed resolution).
Video adapters
Video adapters passively adapt a cable from one connector type to another. Video adapters do not change the signal type, or change the video standard.
Examples of common applications for adapters include the following:
DVI-I to VGA
RCA to BNC
Mini DisplayPort to DisplayPort
Couplers (female to female, or male to male)
Note: You can use a coupler to extend a cable for a short distance. However, each coupler that you use can introduce signal loss, which degrades the signal quality.
Video converters
Video converters actively process and change the signal type from one video standard and convert it to another standard. They are typically used to convert digital to analog and vice versa, but can be used to convert a digital signal to another digital video standard (for example, HDMI to DisplayPort).
Video converters work over short distances from the source to the destination: up to 15 feet or 3 meters.
Video extenders
Video extenders convert an input signal to a higher voltage for transmission over longer distances and then convert the input signal back to the original video standard. The input and the output signal will match on a video extender, as the same video standard is maintained end-to-end. If a cable is extended with adapters or converters, the signal quality degrades.
Note: For more information on using a video adapter or converter with a video extender, see the following FAQ: http://www.startech.com/faq/video_signal_converters_convert_then_extend.
If you need to use a video extender with a video adapter or converter, you should position the adapter or converter as close to the video source as possible. For example, if you need to take a VGA signal from a computer and send it 200 feet to an HDMI® projector, you should convert the signal from VGA to HDMI and use an HDMI extender.
Note: For more information on when to use cables or extenders, see the following FAQ: http://www.startech.com/faq/video_signal_converters_when_to_convert.
Yes, this video extender works with set-top boxes, provided the set-top box meets the following requirements:
- The set-top box must be High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) compliant.
- The set-top box must support devices being connected between the video source and display. If the set-top box requires a direct cable connection between the video source and display, it won't work with this video extender.
No, this device is designed to be a point-to-point solution using networking cabling only.
This device outputs HDMI video signals. If you have a display or video destination that uses another type of video connection, there are ways that you can convert the video signal or connection. These options are outlined below and organized by the target connection.
When you consider whether to convert an HDMI video signal to another connection type, it is important to know if the media that is being converted from the HDMI video connection is protected by High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP). If the media is protected by HDCP, you cannot convert to analog video connections because they do not support HDCP. You may experience this issue when you use devices like Blu-ray players, DVD players, and certain gaming consoles.

There are a few things you'll want to take care of before you deploy your new video extender in your setup.
It's important to make sure you have everything you will need ahead of time. These items are listed below.
- Transmitter
- Receiver
- Video source
- Display
- Video cables
- (Optional) Ethernet or fiber cables
- (Optional) Power adapter(s)
It's also important to test everything in a simplified setup ahead of time to make sure everything works and that you understand how it works.
In order to set up your video extender, complete the following:
- Position your video transmitter near your video source.
- Connect the video output from your video source to the video transmitter.
- (Optional) Connect the power adapter to the video transmitter.
Note: Not all video extenders require external power, or require external power on both ends. Refer to the manual for more information.
- Position your video receiver near your display.
- Connect the video output from your video receiver to your display.
- (Optional) Connect the power adapter to the video receiver.
- If using a wired video extender, connect your network cabling between the video transmitter and the video receiver.
- (Optional) If you are extending anything else supported by your video extender connect those devices to the transmitter and receiver.
- (Optional) If you are using a wireless extender, there may be a sync button you need to press to pair the transmitter and receiver.
Now that you have set up your video extender, you can check that everything is working. You should be able to see your video source's output on the display connected to the video receiver.
If at this point you have further questions regarding a Startech.com video extender, contact our technical support team for further assistance.
To get the highest quality signal from your source to your display when you use an HDMI extender, do the following:
Make sure that the HDMI versions of the source, extender, and destination are compatible. For example, if you require 3D support, make sure that all of the devices can support 3D over HDMI.
Use the least amount of adapters, splitters, or converters as possible. Each device that you use in your setup creates additional points of potential failure and creates more steps for an HDCP key to hop through, which may cause issues with older displays. For more information on HDCP, refer to the following FAQ: http://www.startech.com/faq/video_signal_converters_HDCP.
Use an HDMI extender that exceeds the requirements of the setup. For example, if you need to extend the signal 200 feet, it is best to use an extender capable of more than 200 feet.
Make sure that all of the CAT 5/6 runs are as straight as possible, with the least amount of coiling.
Make sure that all of the patches, wall jacks, and cables use the highest possible CAT specification, (for example, CAT 6), and were tested to conform to the standard.
Use patches, wall jacks, and cables with the same pin configuration. For more information on T568A versus T568B wiring, refer to the following FAQ: http://www.startech.com/faq/network_cables_a_vs_b_pinout.
Keep the cabling away from sources of high noise.
Make sure that you use adequate electrical grounding in your setup.
- The power adapter may not be connected at the correct unit or may not be connected at all. Please check your product manual to see where your power adapter has to be positioned.
- An adapter to another video signal may be connected to the Transmitter or Receiver unit. Please avoid any converters for the initial setup.
- The Cat 5 or 6 cable coming from the transmitter or receiver unit may be connected to a network switch. Some of our video extenders will work in this configuration, but others will not. Please check your product manual to see if your model can be used connected to an IP network. For the initial setup, avoid connecting the Cat 5 or 6 cables to any network switch, hub, or router.
- The category of Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) cables may not meet StarTech.com's requirements. Ensure at least Cat 5, 5e, or six cables are used, and they have eight wires. Some Cat 5 cables only have four wires. If using Cat 6 cables, be aware they have more twists per foot, so you may have to use shorter cable lengths if using Cat 6 cabling between your video extenders.
- Bundling up the UTP cabling connected to the extenders can cause crosstalk, which will prevent the video signal from showing on the display. Unwrapping the cable should resolve this issue.
- Please check to see if your model has an adjustable Gain dial on the remote unit.
- If it does, use it to adjust the color until it is acceptable.
- Replace the VGA cable with a higher quality cable like StarTech.com's MXT101MMHQ.
When you troubleshoot issues with a video extender, there are some quick tests that you can complete to rule out potential problems. You can test to make sure that the following components are working correctly and are not the source of the issue:
Video and Ethernet cables
Video extender
Video source (such as a DVD player or computer)
Video destination (such as a monitor or projector)
Note: When you are testing setup components, you should avoid using video adapters. For example, if you are converting a VGA source to HDMI for use with an HDMI extender, you should use an HDMI source when you test the components.
To test your setup components, try the following:
Use the cable, video extender, video source, and video destination in another setup to see if the problem is with the components or the setup.
Use a different cable, video extender, video source, and video destination in your setup to see if the problem persists. Ideally, you should test a component that you know works in another setup.
When you test your cables, it is recommended that you do the following:
Test each cable individually.
Use short cables when you are testing.
When you test the video source and video destination, it is recommended that you do the following:
Remove the video extender from your setup and test to make sure that the video source and video destination work together without the video extender.
Test to make sure that the video source and video destination work together at the resolution that you want to use.
Note: In order for your setup to work properly, the video source, extender, and destination all need to support the resolution that you are using.
This device supports up to 4Kx2K resolutions @60 Hz with a color depth of 8 bits and a 4:2:0 pixel format. This device does not support a 4:4:4 pixel format. If you are running a 4K resolution at a color depth higher than 8 bits, your display will appear blank.
To resolve this issue, you need to lower the color depth by completing any of the following:
- Connect a display to OUT 1 that is only capable of a color depth no higher than 8 bits.
- Connect the least capable display to OUT 1.
- Connect an additional display to your video source (for example, a video card in a computer) and use this display to reconfigure the display connected to OUT 1 to run at 8 bits color depth (or lower).
