Recovery.gov Not Affected by Cloud Difficulties
Smart planning leads to good results. Nearly a year ago, Recovery.gov became the first government-wide system to move to a cloud computing service. The Recovery Board and its prime contractor, Smartronix, selected the Amazon cloud environment to host Recovery.gov. During the process, we engineered a fail-safe system that would keep Recovery.gov up and running in the event that the Amazon cloud experienced technical difficulties.
Last Thursday, the cloud did, in fact, experience technical problems. Several federal government websites were affected but Recovery.gov was not one of them. Because of our structural safeguards, the cloud remained available to host Recovery.gov. Users on our website were not inconvenienced.

A good friend of mine, who's in digital security is very wary of cloud computing and thinks everything in the cloud should be mirrored on secure private servers.
I'm glad the Amazon outage didn't effect recover.gov but hopefully it'll show some that cloud computing in its current form may not be the way forward.
Failsave and full redundancy is a must on any mission critical server / data. Good job!
I work in web design. I have recently set up my clients to back up using cloud at Amazon S3
It is great for small businesses to back up their data. Glad to see the gov is using cloud to do backups.
You can't be too careful after 9/11
Cloud computing seems to be the safest and most reliable way to go now. Congrats on your smart planning and keeping your clients up and running thru the Amazon technical difficulties.
The cloud industry is definitely going to be growing in market size. I feel that it is essential to switch over to the cloud, as long as the necessary security administration is in place.
Cloud computing is definitely the trend of technology, offload the complex infrastructure to vendors is a key to success.

Welcome to the Troop 6 Learning Center! We're creating a series of "courses" in a number of different areas to supplement program training in scoutcraft (Tenderfoot through First Class rank advancement), merit badges, youth and adult leadership training, and various program areas.
The purpose of these courses is simple - to help both Scouts and Scouters master the skills required in a great Scouting program. Participation in these course is optional, the course are another tool not a "requirement." They are made available to enhance the material presented in the handbook, at Troop meetings, and in merit badge pamphlets to allow "students" to master enhanced topics at their own pace.
To participate, you'll need to send a request to Mr. Tegtmeier (firstname.lastname@example.com) to be registered for the Center. This procedure, while a bit tedious, is being done to exclude spammers and others who might wish to use the Center for other purposes. Youth and website protection and safety always remain our top priority.

I defy you not to laugh at the still image of this video before you click play. Can't be done. I mean this is a grade A example of why the internet age is the best age. You've got about a billion football games on all weekend long and because of Youtube and highlight shows and Al Gore we all ge tto enjoy Popcorn Guy going Costanza Ice Cream Sundae-mode on a bag of popcorn while sitting in a hurricane and his team down 2343243-7 to the #5 team in the country. AND he's rocking a primo Magnum PI 'stache. Thank God we live in this time. Don't ever change Popcorn Guy, don't ever change.
PS: This absolutely gets him (more) tail at WSU's campus now right? Here this bro is just minding his own business with his popcorn and he unwittingly charted his sexual destiny on campus for years to come. Props.
Double PS: Don't worry WSU. If we can believe my NCAA 2010 franchise with you then you should be starting a string of 7 straight national titles in 2015. Let's go Cougars!

Going hunting provides you with an opportunity to get outdoors; it allows you to avoid your normal routine, it can be a bonding experience, and you get to perfect your deer jerky recipe at the end of the day. Before you set off for the woods, you should have these Rocky MudSox Waterproof Hunting Boots (#7217) on your feet.
This men's hunting boot is no muss no fuss. The upper is a sock that has been made with 5mm of neoprene. The fabric is comfortable against your legs, and is 100% waterproof. The sock can also be rolled down; this is ideal if you take a spur-of-the-moment trip to the store and want more of a casual look. A Mossy Oak Break-Up® InfinityTM camouflage print allows you to blend in with the wilderness.
Rocky made sure this MudSox boot was extremely easy for you to get both on and off by adding handles (at the top) and a rubber heel kick plate.
Concealing your scent is imperative when you're hunting. This MudSox boot features Rocky SIQ Atomic, which is a treatment that fades away the human scent and helps control perspiration. Between the camouflage and this technology, your presence will be unnoticeable within the woods.

Canyon, TX -- The City of Canyon will continue buying water from Amarillo for at least the next 20 years - and that's considered good news for both cities.
Since 1983, the city of Canyon has been supplementing its water supply by buying much of it from Amarillo. And earlier this evening, Canyon city commissioners renewed that agreement until at least 2033. Currently, the Canyon cannot provide all the water it needs, especially in the summer months - so they buy water from Amarillo. Canyon uses an average of about two million gallons of water a day, and about a third of that comes from Amarillo. And while buying water costs more than producing it, Canyon city manager Randy Criswell says it's a mutually beneficial arrangement.
"You really hate to have all of your eggs in one basket, so to speak, in regards to water," says Criswell. "I know a lot of cities are not fortunate enough to have multiple sources, but I'll bet you that they wish they did. It's a good thing for Amarillo; it makes them a little bit of money - you know, in the summertime, we buy quite a bit of water from them. But it's a good thing for Canyon too, because it gives us that extra source of water and that extra location where water's coming into the system."
And with the city of Canyon experiencing unprecedented growth, a new well field northeast of town will allow Canyon to be much more self-sufficient.
"We would be struggling in today's operation without the Amarillo water," says Director of Utilities Dan Reese, "but once we get the new wells out at our Rockwell Road field online and producing, that would take a lot of the burden off of our Amarillo source."
The new six-well well field is expected to be able to supply up to three million gallons a day and is scheduled for completion in about a year and a half.
If you'd like to see Canyon's most recently released water quality report or the budget for this biennium, follow the links attached to this story.

"There are 1.2 billion people between the ages of 15 and 24 in the world today — and that means that many countries have populations younger than ever before. Some believe that this 'youth bulge' helps fuel social unrest — particularly when combined with high levels of youth unemployment. Youth unemployment is a 'global time bomb,' as long as today's millennials remain 'hampered by weak economies, discrimination, and inequality of opportunity.' The world's 15 youngest countries are all in Africa. Of the continent's 200 million young people, about 75 million are unemployed.
On the flip side, an aging population presents a different set of problems: Japan and Germany are tied for the world's oldest countries, with median ages of 46.1. Germany's declining birth rate might mean that its population will decrease by 19 percent, shrinking to 66 million by 2060. An aging population has a huge economic impact: in Germany, it has meant a labor shortage, leaving jobs unfilled."

"As colleges and universities grapple with disruptive change in higher education, a few pioneers are taking an innovative approach to reinventing themselves and their future. For example, last November, Georgetown University's "Designing the Future(s) of the University" called on the entire campus community to explore what the Georgetown of 2030 will look like, and a July report from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology set out toredefine the future of MIT's education.
"Now, the University System of Georgia is embarking on a similar mission to "Invent the Beyond," and it is opening up the process to others in higher education in a MOOC-like collaboration starting this week. In three interactive sessions, participants will visualize what learning models will look like in 15 years and explore the factors critical to the success of students, faculty and post-secondary institutions."

"This watchful, inner kind of creativity is not about making things but about experiencing life in a creative way; it's a way of asserting your own presence amidst the much larger world of nature, and of finding significance in that wider world. By contrast, our current sense of creativity is almost entirely bound up with the making of stuff. If you have a creative imagination but don't make anything, we regard that as a problem—we say that you're "blocked."

"How did creativity transform from a way of being to a way of doing? The answer, essentially, is that it became a scientific subject, rather than a philosophical one. In 1950, a psychologist named J. P. Guilford kickstarted that transition with an influential speech to the American Psychological Association. Guilford's specialty was psychometrics: during the Second World War, he helped the Air Force design tests to identify which recruits had the kinds of intelligence necessary to fly airplanes. Unsurprisingly, when it came to identifying creative people, Guilford found that you couldn't measure the auxiliary light of the soul. You had to measure something more concrete, like the production of ideas."

It found many have flourished despite budget cuts and more emphasis being placed on science, technology, engineering and math degrees."

"I didn't think I'd ever get excited about an iPad stand. But the Yohann, designed by Swiss architect Berend Frenzel, ticks all of my boxes. First up, it's a thing of beauty, with an incredibly simple but clever — why didn't I think of that — design. It's also highly functional, in terms of viewing angles and positions. And it's European-made.
"Two versions are currently being crowd funded on Kickstarter. One manufactured with a glassfiber-reinforcedpolymer body covered with a high-end "piano" lacquer finish, and a second handcrafted wooden version, made in Germany and Italy, respectively.
"However, the most impressive thing is the way Frenzel has managed to take something so simple and make it so functional, allowing the one piece stand to house an iPad in three discrete viewing angles — from upright to a much more lean-back angle — in both landscape and portrait mode, as well as enabling it to be used resting on soft surfaces, such as your lap or bed."

"In a remote Navajo community in New Mexico, there are those who lack access to the stoves and electricity that would allow them to cook with ease. Sixteen-year-old Raquel Redshirt, determined to address this issue within her community, created a low cost, easily reproducible solution.
"After researching solar ovens, Raquel found it possible to make her own with readily available materials, such as aluminum foil and paper boxes. While she enjoyed the hot meals cooked in her solar oven, she didn't stop there. Watch the above video to see how Raquel's solar oven evolved to impact her community. Her socially minded work won her an award at the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair this year."

"Alternative certification has grown as a means of addressing teacher shortages, especially in specific content areas, yet the programs are controversial, fueling debates over rigor, subject expertise, and the bypassing of traditional colleges of education, reports Anya Kamenetz for NPR. One in five new teachers becomes so by means other than a four-year undergraduate program or master's degree. Many are uncertified the first time they stand in front of students. Programs also vary widely in design. The National Council on Teacher Quality (NCTQ) reviews teacher preparation around the country, and for the first time has undertaken a study of "alt-cert" programs. Focused on 85 of the "most" alternative programs -- those not affiliated with an institution of higher education -- the study based evaluations on criteria such as applicants' GPA and degree of support in internships. Results were poor. Sixty-three of the 85 programs -- 74 percent -- got a "D" or "F," with for-profit programs faring worst; only 41 percent of traditional programs scored this low. Yet it's worth noting the NCTQ has been critical of traditional certification programs, too. "If traditional programs knocked it out of the park," observes Sandi Jacobs of NCTQ, "there would be less need for alternative programs."

"What does an innovation class look like?
"First, with each new group of students, Don has to teach them different skills: how not to be compliant, how to think differently, how they should challenge and confront him instead of taking his words for granted. "Right now, it is natural for kids to be compliant, to sit and listen to what their teachers have to say, without questioning. The system beats the creativity out of them. Kids have been trained that way; my first job is to unteach them". He hears new students in his class asking him what he expects them to do. His answer: "I won't tell you, you need to find your own opportunity, find collaborators, I'm only here to help you, not to tell you what to do". At the beginning, some kids freeze up because it is such a foreign and disruptive concept to them. However, they quickly grasp the benefit of it.
"During the first weeks of the class, students will identify their own opportunity to develop a project. They will formulate a plan of action and time table, find collaborators and resources, like any entrepreneur would do. "Online collaboration enables access to information, resources and mentors."

"This is the paper accompanying Gary Stager's plenary address at the 3rd International Constructionism Conference in Vienna, Austria, August 19-23, 2014. (Link to video)
"Abstract – In this plenary address, the speaker will share three societal trends that validate and vindicate decades of leadership by the constructionism community. The growing acceptance of learning-by-making represented by the maker movement, a newfound advocacy for children learning computer programming, and even the global education crisis, real or imagined, are evidence of predictions and efforts made by constructionists being realized. This conference offers a brief opportunity for celebration before returning to the "hard fun" required to harness the momentum of these trends and improve the learning ecology.

"When I think of STEM – especially the science and engineering arms of the equation – I too often think of the higher end, more complicated stuff. The cool, hands-on science experiments involving fire and acidic liquids. Building and programming robots. Unfortunately, this thought process often yields activities that are either too complicated or not age-appropriate for younger students.
"That doesn't mean that there isn't cool stuff out there for younger kids studying STEM subjects. Many apps that address STEM material are specifically geared towards younger learners, making them perfect to expose kids to STEM without being too complicated or overwhelming.

COEUR D'ALENE, Idaho - For 20 years, the golf course at the Coeur d'Alene Resort has set the standard for golf settings with its pine trees, geraniums, not to mention its world famous floating green.
As director of golf operations at the resort, Brendan Lenihan loves to see golfers get lost in the luxury of the course.
"It's just a unique experience all in all, with the lake, the mountains and the great weather we have out here. All that combines for a great experience," said Lenihan.
Par: 71Length: 6,803 yds (from Gold tees)Course Designer: Scott MillerLandscape: 1,500 wild flowers, 4,000 petunias, 30,000 geraniumsCaddies: 1 Caddie per foursome
Notes: Lake views from all 18 holes; Readers Choice 2009 (GolfWorld Magazine); 5-Star Designation from Golf Digest; Only course in Northwest to be Audobon Sanctuary Approved (2000)
Website: http://www.cdaresort.com/golf
It's remarkable how far and fast the forecaddies go to make it happen. Eddie Hernandez has been running the fairways on the course since 1998. He considers the course his house, and every golfer his guest. Since day one he's been in hot pursuit or perfecting his craft.
"If I'm able to be quick and slick, and slip in and out – be efficient, be a ghost – all of a sudden my guests are like, 'whoa, where'd this guy come from?"
Hernandez is one of three caddie masters who lead the resort's crew of 110. They make up a group of guys and gals ages 19 to 62. They're tireless mission is to make guests happy.
"To do that you have to be hustling out there, running a lot, putting a lot of miles on the ole sneakers every summer," Lenihan explained.
"You know what, it's a labor of love," added Hernandez.
Or more specifically: labors of love.
From tour guide to coach, to landscape artist and packrat, to confidant and psychologist, the list of responsibilities seems endless but never senseless to guys like Hernandez.
"We can't take this for granted," said Hernandez. "Basically, we're around the game we love. We're in a beautiful setting. It's like a walk in the park out here."
On average the caddies can log about 10 miles per round. Their paths can differ but the aim is always the same.
"A means to an end is not the point," said Hernandez. "The means itself is what it's all about."
For two decades it's been the only public course in this part of the country where caddies come with the experience. Spend a day with them and it's clear: the hole on the logo is only half the story at the Coeur d'Alene Resort Golf Course.

Someone is targeting the local Coast Guard with phony emergency calls. The person pretends to be in distress on the water, but it's nothing more than a dangerous hoax.
The Coast Guard command center in Detroit jumped into action when this mayday call came in over the emergency radio channel:
"Mayday, mayday, my boat's sinking in Lake Erie."
There have been similar other calls. Each time the Coast Guard responded with a full scale search, but nothing ever turned up. The calls were hoaxes.
These hoax calls for help began in late 2010.
"In many of the calls, he's reporting his vessel in distress. He's reporting that he's sinking in Lake Erie. He's reporting that in one of the calls his airplane is in distress and crashing in Lake Erie," said Lieutenant Justin Westmiller. "During a few of those calls, we knew that we were in the middle of winter on Lake Erie and that most of Lake Erie was frozen."
Judging by the strength of the radio signal, the Coast Guard determined a general area where the distress calls were made.
"We were able to determine through various methods that at least the vast majority of them were coming in from the Bolles Harbor / Monroe, Michigan area," said Special Agent Ryan Warnke.
The phony calls for help included reports of a vessel fire.
Now every time the Coast Guard jumps into action, even if it's a hoax, Coast Guard members are at considerable risk.
"We're moving people, we're moving vessels, we're moving aircraft, and in all of those operations they're inherently dangerous. We like to keep those to operations where we know that they're required and necessary," Westmiller explained.
A hoax call for help is a felony and it may keep the Coast Guard from responding to a real emergency.
"One of the reasons why we suspected that these were fraudulent, in a normal emergency situation, the person is going to want to give the Coast Guard or the sheriff's department, whoever answers, as much information as possible, including their position, and this person never once gave a physical area where he was," Warnke said.
How many people are making these hoax calls? It could be one person or perhaps two. They're really not sure.
There is a $1,000 if you have information leading to an arrest. Call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-SPEAK-UP.

(E85 Ethanol biodiesel fuel is shown being pumped into a vehicle at a gas station in Nevada, Iowa)
The Renewable Fuels Association is trying to untangle the language scramble that is eexpressed in the surprising two sides of the motor fuel equation. The most recent "straw man" - - at least that's how the Ethanol people see it - - is something called the blend wall. The oil industry contends it cannot blend more ethanol with gasoline, because there's no market for it - - because there aren't enough motors burning motor fuel that can accommodate more then 10% ethanol blend. Thus, the "blend wall".
In ten pages of comments submitted to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce, chaired by Michigan's Fred Upton, Renewable Fuels Association President Bob Dinneen wrote, "In short" - - and this is a quote- - the RFA believes the blend wall is a creation of the oil companies failure to respond appropriately to the very clear market signal" - - - and so on.
I'm thinking this is a reference, as I suggested some time ago, that what we have here, is that "Chicken or the Egg" question, as in which came first. As for renewable fuels, Dineen contends the blend wall is a creation within the motor fuel industry, based on the investment question, do we go for the renewable fuels, assuming the auto industry can and will engineer vehicles to accommodate the new fuel; or do we wait for the auto industry to develop the appropriate engine technology, to accommodate the fuel blends. Dineen says the oil industry plugged up the investment stream that should have led to a solution to the question, anticipating this blend wall, which big oil expected would stall the requirements of the Renewable Fuels Standards.
I have experienced the very kinds of ethanol favors Dineen explains in his comments to the Upton committee. Dineen claims ethanol improves car performances, and lowers gasoline prices. I can't confirm that part of it, but I have, without question, used a 10 percent blend in a nearly new Buick, in an older Chevrolet Pickup truck, and in a series of garden tractors, lawn mowers, chain saws, string trimmers, and on and on - - without discernible negative effect..
If the ethanol business continues unencumbered, the demand for corn should maintain, and perhaps increase. If the blend wall can be hurdled, the further demand for renewable fuels that would ensue, will almost surely expand the markets for the next generation of renewable fuels - - the biofuels, using corn stalks, woodland produce, household waste, and just about anything else containing cellulose.
And, as I'm closing this out, I'm remembering being told that NASCAR has powered several of its racers with pure ethanol. Of course it can be done!

Ed Chandler, Sr. had to have struggled with mixed emotions seven decades or so ago. While he was surely proud that his three sons, Waylon, Lavon and Ed Jr. were overseas fighting for our freedom, having three sons in harm's way at the same time had to have been responsible for many sleepless nights.
All three returned safely after the end of World War II, married and settled down east of Ruston. Until recently, Ed Jr. and Lavon continued to live in the same area while older brother, Waylon makes his home near Farmerville.

NFL training camps are now open, and so is the floodgate of requests for autographs. If you've never been to an NFL training camp, its fun to watch the kids rush NFL players for their autographs. The younger kids don't care who the player is. They may be getting an autograph from the cornerback who was drafted in the last round. Kids don't know who he is, but its an autograph from someone at an NFL training camp. By the way, that cornerback who was drafted in the last round? He's very happy anyone is asking for his autograph, because in two weeks he may have an office job instead of trying to cover an NFL wide receiver.
I've never been big on getting autographs. I remember going to a Father-Son banquet many years ago at a Lutheran church basement in Minnesota. Might have been 7 years old. I don't remember who the Minnesota Twins player was there that day, but I remember Don Cassidy was there. Cassidy was one of the first promotions director for the Twins. (Cassidy passed away in 2001 at the age of 66). I was a kid who loved the Twins and I didn't care what they did for the Twins, I wanted their autograph. I got Cassidy's autograph and kept that little piece of paper in small box with other stuff little boys keep for whatever reason. I forgot about the autograph and the other stuff in the small box, as mom threw it away. I don't know when she did it. But I still remember that autograph of Don Cassidy. In fact, it was the only autograph I have ever asked for. I've had numerous opportunities to get autographs from current and former athletes over the years. I still kick myself I should have asked for Harmon Killebrew's (Minnesota Twins) signature, but I didn't.
It's ok to ask for autographs, as long as you keep it.

Clermont Farms Quilted Tote Bag
This Americana themed, multipurpose tote is suitable for the pool, the green market, or a fun day trip.
1 Clermont Farms Jelly Roll by Minick & Simpson
1 yard Clermont Farms solid navy
1 yard cotton batting
Front Panel
Step 1: Cut Squares 2 ½" x 2 ½"
Choose four strips of fabric from the jelly roll. I used the dark blue paisley, the white and blue tossed plums, the blue with white sprays of flowers, and the dark blue lattice with roses. The fabric width is already 2 ½", so simply lay out each strip on your cutting board, measure out 2 ½" across the length, and cut away.
Using my patterns, cut 12 squares of the dark blue paisley, 12 squares of the white and blue tossed plums, 6 squares of the blue with white sprays of flowers, and 6 squares of the dark blue lattice with roses.
Step 2: Layout Your Panel
Step 3: Sew the Squares Together
Sew right sides of two squares together using a ¼" seam allowance. You can chain piece if you like. Use a dry iron or finger press your seam allowances to the darker side. Keep the layout photo as a handy reminder. Sometimes distractions come up and those tiny squares get jumbled up.
Now sew the completed set of two squares into blocks of four. Make sure your seams interlock. I rub my fingers together over the joining seam prior to sewing. If they are locked in, you will be able to feel a smooth connection. Gently pull the two pieces apart to see if the join is locked. The locked joins will yield a sharp intersecting point on the face. Again press the seams to one side after finishing.
Join the three sets of blocks across into three rows. Press the seams to one side for each row.
Finally, join the three rows together. It is a good idea to pin the joins for the final row of sewing to keep the intersections aligned.
Voila! The Front Panel is complete.
Step 4: Add a Border
Measure the length of the left side of your panel (mine was 12 ½"), and cut a solid red strip from the jelly roll the same size. Now cut the strip in half lengthwise. I ended up with two strips measuring 12 ½" x 1 ¼". With right sides together, sew the left and right borders to your panel. Now repeat these steps for the top and bottom borders of your panel.
Back Panel
Repeat the steps for the front panel to create your back panel. I chose different fabrics, and used the lighter blue paisley, the white and blue tossed miniatures, the light blue and white rose, the lighter blue lattice with roses, and solid cream for the border. Cut 12 squares of the paisley, 12 squares of the miniatures, 6 squares of the roses, and 6 squares of the lattice.
Here is the layout for the Back Panel.
Side Panels
Measure the sides of your front and back panels. They should be approximately the same size, but no worries if they are a bit off, we are going to trim the pieces before construction.
For each side, choose four strips of fabric from the jelly roll, and cut to the larger measurement (better too big than too small). The fabrics I chose are pictured. Straight stitch these four strips together to create the side panel. Repeat these steps to create your second side panel. I chose to use the red paisley and the tossed plum on beige for both. The variation is in the colors of the blue and white roses and lattice with roses. In one panel I used the lighter blue and in the other the darker.
Side Panel One
Side Panel Two
Bottom Panel
Measure the bottom of your front and back panels. Choose four strips of fabric, cut to the larger measurement, and straight stitch together. Pictured are my selections.
Now the fun begins!
We are going to treat each of the five panels as if they are mini quilts. Cut a piece of the 1 yard of solid navy so that it is 1" larger on all sides of your first panel to be quilted. Then cut a piece of cotton batting the same size. Make a quilt sandwich by positioning your solid navy face down on your mat, followed by the batting and the panel face up. Secure your sandwich with pins. Quilt your panel as you like. I used a simple "stitch in the ditch" approach with each panel. Sandwich and quilt the rest of your panels.
After you finish quilting, trim up each panel. This is the point where you can ensure the pieces are all the same size.
Decide which edge you would like to be the top of your front, back, and side panels because we are about to give them a nice finish. Measure the top of the panel you are working on and cut a piece of solid navy to fit its width. My first panel measured 13 ½", so I cut a strip 13 ½" x 2 ½". Now press that strip in half, and sew the raw edge to the raw edge of the panel like a quilt binding. After adding the binding, turn the strip and hand stitch binding to the back lining. Repeat for the three remaining panels. The bottom panel does not need to be bound because it will be sewn to the body of the tote bag on all four sides.
Cut two strips of solid navy to 21" x 4". This will yield a handle approximately 8" in height from the top of the bag. Fold each strip in half lengthwise and press. Open up each strip and fold the sides to meet in the middle. The pressed fold will help to gauge the center.
Cut two strips of batting to 21" x 1" and tuck it inside flush against one side. Sew the open side closed. To keep it balanced in appearance, sew another line down the opposite side.
Measure 3" from each end of the top front and top back panels. Pin the handle so the end of the handle meets the bottom of the solid border. Make sure the handles are not twisted prior to sewing. Simply hold it up and you will see if it is not correct. Using a "stitch box", sew each handle to the top of your panel.
We are going to put the bag together using a binding to join and hide the exposed seams. Choose eight strips from the jelly roll, or use solid navy if you want the inside of the tote bag to be all one color.
(Before continuing read "Option" at the end of the instructions. It may be of interest.)
Start by sewing the front panel to the bottom panel. Measure the edge of the bottom panel lengthwise. Cut a binding strip the measure length by 2 ½". Press the strip in half. Sew it to the edge of the bottom panel. Place the bottom panel on top of the front panel with the sewn binding on the bottom.
Turn the two panels over so the lining side of the front panel is now facing you. Reach under and turn the binding around to the lining side of the front panel. Pin the binding to the lining side for sewing.
Sew both pieces together on the lining side. Take your time and make sure you are sewing through both panels.
When you finish and open it up, you will see that the two panels are now joined and the seam is covered by the binding.
Now assemble the back panel to the bottom using the same procedure.
Pictured is the front panel attached to the bottom with the back panel ready to be assembled.
Next add the two side panels.
We are almost done. Take a breath, you are doing great!
Now it is time to make this guy into a real tote. In order to sew the side seams to the bottom, twist the side panel and place it on the one side of the bottom panel. Add the binding as you did before. You will be constructing the balance of the seams working in a clockwise fashion.
After all of the pieces are joined with seams your new tote is done. Your tote is completely washable. Since it is quilted, each wash will enhance your design.
If you would like your bag to stand up in a more uniform manner, add the seams to the outside of the panels instead of the inside. The photo shows the bag inside out. You will see it stands up proud and tall. By adding the seams to the outside, the bad is able to stand on its own. The seams on the inside give the face side a clean look. You are the designer. It is all up to you.
1 tote bag. Measures 13"W x 13"H (excluding handles) x 7"D. Machine washable.

Loved making the tote bag, will make it again but put the binding round the top on at the end. Think it will give it a better finish.

Carolyn Myss's - Meanings of the Chakras
Carolyn Myss sent out her June Salon and here is a blurb on the Chakra's that I thought was good information:
This is your physical life, which includes work, family, and the external world. This is the land of the unconscious, where you are prone to become an addict to time schedules, repeated activities, life pressures, and high stress. This is a world of pressure on your body and quite frankly, its where all life begins to break down. This is the first battlefield of life. If you were ever going to think, My life is awful, or empty/boring/horrible/meaningless or any other desperate description, this is the chakra-zone for it. This is the place for hell on earth and if ever you needed to become absorbed in the gift of being alive just alive, without all the stuff attached to it that is the essence of the grace of Reverence.
Prayer: Just grant me the grace to feel grateful for my life and Ill take it from there. Let me know youre watching out for me.
This area of your body covers a lot of ground: sexuality, finances, power in all relationships, birth, creativity, destruction, vengeance, violence. Its a busy chakra. This is a power center that can make or break the quality of your life given the issues that resonate to this center, to say the least. The grace of Piety does not refer to holiness, which is the classic understanding, but rather to your capacity to see the Divine in other people. Its a rigorous effort at times and maybe most of the time if you have a challenging work situation. But the opposite will break you in two. Mercy is a saving grace, literally and symbolically. Mercy saves you from your own dark thoughts and from personal anger. You may not imagine that you are capable of having mercy on yourself, but people do not realize how abusive they are to themselves when they harbor hostile thoughts or heavy memories that they could release.
Prayer: Grant me the grace to see the goodness in others before I harm myself and them with negative thoughts. Let me do no harm to any life.
This is your ego center. Need I say more? If you are an All about Me person, then you know this is a hot spot for you. You can get yourself into trouble from being oversensitive or from feeling that you need to take care of everyone. This is also the place where we suffer the consequences of having low self-esteem, getting that knot in the stomach from nervous stress. This is the first place in the body that people generally lose their energy when things go wrong. First of all, the Grace of Understanding is not about being understood. Its about being granted the capacity to understand the greater sphere of truth in a relationship or situation in which you find yourself. This is a magnificent grace. Imagine that you are in a situation in which you are endlessly worried about a relationship, thinking, I must have done something, or How will I get by if this relationship doesnt work out. Then suddenly a soft calm comes over you, and you understand deeply, completely, that no matter what happens, you will be just fine. You dont know how things will work out; you just know they will. Thats this grace in action.
Prayer: Grant me the grace of Understanding in those times when I am gripped by chaos and cannot see the truth. Keep me from harming myself and others because I do not understand what is happening.
Obviously this is the chakra that absorbs all the emotional content of your life. Make no mistake that is an enormous amount of content. From love, hopes and dreams and wishes, to despair and depression and anger all of it resonates in this center. Oh, and let us not forget all memories of past injuries and injustices that you have yet to forgive. Ive asked so many people if they dwell in positive or negative emotions most often, and so many admit to dwelling in negative emotions such as regret or sadness, guilt or grief. This can be the most difficult of all of your chakra centers, without a doubt. The Grace of Fortitude rightly belongs in this chakra because it takes profound courage to make the right emotional choices, both for you and for others. There is no such thing as emotional choices that do not hurt someone. (Well, there are of course, but not the ones that bring necessary change.) The Grace of Fortitude is courage beyond the boundaries of the moment. This grace refers to being granted the courage to not only take action but to handle the consequences of your necessary actions, which is what people so fear. Healing emerges from the courageous heart, not from someone who is frightened.
Prayer: Grant me the grace to make the choices essential to my integrity and my healing.
FIFTH CHAKRA: THE THROAT CENTER THE GRACE OF COUNSEL (and the more mysterious speaking in tongues)
This is your center of choice and all that choice implies. You would have to go into silence for a month to even begin to contemplate the enormity of this power. The number of choices we make per hour is unimaginable and each one has endless consequences. The Grace of Counsel is a prayerful request for Divine instruction. This is more than guidance. Counsel refers to intimate instruction in which you position yourself not to say no. This grace is also given to you on behalf of others, to counsel people when their lives are at a crossroads. Perhaps you have had the experience of suddenly knowing you must do something, no matter what. Or you must speak up about something, and along with that feeling comes a sense of urgency that is relentless. That is how this grace often expresses itself. It can be relentless guidance.
Prayer: Grant me your Counsel when I am standing at the crossroads in my life. Push me to take the path I would otherwise not choose for lack of courage.
Knowledge refers to a sudden knowing of something you had no previous knowledge of whatsoever. Teresa of Avila referred to this as, Intellectual revelation, a granting of truth or intuitive understanding, or a vision that you could not possibly generate through the talents or skills of the mind. Knowledge and Prophecy are two of the graces that can and have caused problems for people. They are extremely powerful, but in societies in which the rational approach to life rules, revelation is anything but popular. Historically, people mainly mystics with this gift have had to defend their revealed writings rigorously in order to prove that they were not fabricating their documents, or they were not insane, or they were not possessed. The graces of Knowledge and Prophecy are high risk, but they are profound graces that are very present in ordinary people who are guided through their intuitive gifts all the time. These are not graces to be feared, but rather to be used with great wisdom.
Prayer: Grant me the capacity to hold in silence that which I see and understand until it is time to reveal it. Give me the strength to withstand the power of a single vision.
If there was ever a time we needed Wisdom, its now. The spiritual life is full of distractions and chaos. Its a simple path, actually, but its not an easy one. You are here to discern truth from fiction in your life and to follow truth. You are here to become fully mindful of the power of your choices because you are held accountable for your choices. With each choice you make, you either set a cycle of grace into motion or you withhold grace. It takes Wisdom to discern the right choice, but it also takes Fortitude, the courageous heart.
Prayer: Grant me the Wisdom to think deeply about my choices, to not respond from anger, to think larger than my small self, and to include the other people in my decisions who will be affected by my choices.

Hi, Froggie.
I just found this. I have become more interested in Chakras lately and have been pursuing information about them. I found this very helpful. Thank you very much for posting it. Love, C.
