Record Store to Continue City Lights' Legacy
Posted by Charlee Redman on 04/20 at 10:25 AM
When City Lights Records closed earlier this year, the State College music scene lost a valuable resource. For years, local residents had gone to the independent store to buy vinyl, CDs, and memorabilia and maybe strike up a conversation with Greg Gabbard, the man who became the face of the business. It was a place where old and new music met and concerts and albums were promoted. It was the musical epicenter for local artists.
But starting this summer, there will be a new venue for independent music residing in City Lights' former basement location at 316 E. College Avenue. The Music Underground and the Kill Screen Kafé will fill the gaping void left by the old store by selling records, turntables, refurbished stereo parts, as well as renting music equipment and offering repair services.
The Music Underground (an apt name for an indie record store below street-level) will hopefully serve the needs of the musical community who don't necessarily want to download everything from iTunes or Limewire. Something in the concrete materiality of vinyl and CDs can't really be replaced by digital files hidden away on a computer hard drive. It could also be a blessing for musicians in the downtown area, providing another option for those whose instruments might need a little tune up.
Not only will the venue be a record store - it's going to be a vintage arcade with a small collection of pinball machines and video games (Atari and Pac-Man, anyone?). The Kill Screen Kafé will have its own additional entrance on Calder Way and will whip up coffee, specialty beverages, and snacks for hungry gamers.
Chronic Town (224 W. College Ave.) is holding a "sneak peek" for the venue, which won't open until this summer. On Saturday April 17th from 1pm-7pm, used and new vinyl will be on sale to the accompaniment of live DJs. Admission is free and you'll even get to see "special appearances by local notable music aficionados," according to the event's Facebook page.
In the age of downloading and large-scale corporations selling thousands of records by Top 40 artists every day, independent record stores are fading into the woodwork. With them goes a valuable resource for musicians and listeners alike, a vestige of "the past" that we associate with bygone decades and an older generation. But these record stores transcend the petty boundaries of time - they're a vital part of the community for sharing music (and music is the universal language, after all).
It's difficult for any music store to stay afloat these days, but hopefully The Music Underground and the Kill Screen Kafé will be unique enough to succeed as businesses and occupy the empty niche in the local scene. Until then, we'll just have to wait and see.

Every morning, as a youngster, my mother would remind me to wear clean, neat underwear, "just in case you get into an accident and have to be taken to the hospital, so you won't be embarrassed wearing torn or ugly underwear". How many young boys, or girls for that matter, were probably told something similar by their own mothers. My mother passed away at the age of 92, shortly before this company was started. She was one of the most stylish people I have ever known, being as well dressed and put together at 92 as she was as a 29 year old when I was born. VictorTells.com is dedicated to her and to all the moms who taught their sons about style and the need to take pride in the way they look!
It's when you walk into a room and all eyes are on you. They can't say why, but something makes it impossible to look away. Their eyes follow you making your way through the crowd.

A North Carolina appeals court has upheld a murder conviction in the death of a Fort Bragg soldier shot outside a nightclub while celebrating his safe return after more than a year in Iraq.
A three-judge panel of the state Court of Appeals on Tuesday said it found no errors in the 2012 Cumberland County trial of James Anthony Carr. Carr is serving a long prison sentence for second-degree murder for the death of Sgt. Sergio Sanchez of Alabama in 2008 and other crimes.
The court said Sanchez was the designated driver for some friends when a group who had robbed other soldiers approached Sanchez. Evidence shows a man demanded Sanchez's wallet. Sanchez was shot in the neck and later died.
Carr's projected prison release date is in 2035.

"Best Android Tablet Overall."This tablet is great. It is a pretty powerful device! Features: The thing is so speedy every second of the day. This is because of the quad core processor and Tegra 3.

not right now, no. Cortex M3 etc. are so different in their architecture that it's not an easy task. Maybe if someone already has finished compatability layers. But it's definitely not a priority. I already worked with PICs and the lpc1769, but their support and documentation is not comparable to AVR/Arduino. That's why I came back here.
While being an AVR and therefore possibly 100% compatible it's certainly not pin compatible, to my Atmega328p, so I can't replace it on my devboard. But I'm thinking about creating my own board with an Xmega similar to the Xmegauino.
Well git in my opinion is the best versioning system out there, and it grows to be the most popular as well. github is a very nice platform to do coding on, and most of the libs are already there or in similar repositories like google code. So I'd like to make the IDE git-enabled so it can keep libs up to date. Also it would need something like an XML format as you already said, to identify the libs, give them paraemters etc. But that shouldn't be a big problem. Imo, these XML don't have to be created by the actual lib creators but can be in an own git repository where everybody that wants can collaborate to keep them up to date. Once there's a lot of libs in there, lib creators will want to have their libs in there as well.
This also forces lib creators to use git, which I think is a good thing (or at least any versioning system, doesn't have to be limited to git)

Work it Out: Handling Conflict at Work
Work it Out: Handling Conflict at Work
Workplace conflict is as inevitable a part of the office day-to-day as deadlines and budgets. In a perfect world, everybody would get along famously including office co-workers. Alas, offices are full of people, and people come with a range of personalities, and not all interact harmoniously. Prevent conflict from running projects and productivity off the rails by properly managing discord and disagreement.
To begin, recognize that attitude is everything: bring a positive outlook to the task of getting along with difficult personalities or navigating diverging opinions. Getting along well with others is not just a skill for the nursery-school set. The ability to work well with colleagues, clients and bosses is a must for professional growth, no matter the differences in temperament and work styles.
Take a Deep Breath: Differences in personality or opinions are real and are valid. Try to understand that quote-unquote difficult colleagues may simply have a different perspective and are not deliberately trying to annoy or harass you. Likewise, differences in opinion or work style do not mean that someone is in the wrong. By simply aknowledging the reality of "different strokes, for different folks" you may find some of your animosity dissipates.
Act Fast: Don't let conflicts simmer along until they come to a full boil. Be sure to address conflict head on when it first arises. It's always easier to address a smaller problem than a big one so be sure to act quickly before you have a full scale conflagration on your hands.
Clear the Air: The key to resolving conflict is communication, communication, communication. No one is a mind reader; take time to calmly and neutrally explain your perspective to your co-workers. Colleagues may be unaware that their behavior has upset or bothered you and may be receptive to your concerns.
Listen Carefully: There are two-sides to every story. Be a good listener and you'll learn how to resolve conflicts more readily.
Agree to Disagree: Sometimes people are truly out of sync. You can agree to disagree with a person's work style or opinion. Just be sure to treat your co-worker professionally and politely and make clear that you expect the same courtesy.
Take it Up with Higher Ups: If a co-worker is deliberately sabotaging you, shirking work or committing a host of other office sins, schedule time to discuss the situation with your boss. Again, be sure to remain professional and objective. Your boss will be more receptive to your concerns if you don't come off as a complainer or an emotional wreck.
Difficult Bosses: Bosses are people too and sometimes you wind up working for a difficult personality. Again, clear communication is essential; try to dispassionately and professionally communicate your concerns and work towards getting your relationship on a better footing. If your boss continues to be a source of conflict, consider consulting with your HR department for guidance or in a worst case scenario, explore other job options within the organization or elsewhere.
Conflict Resolved: A conflict is resolved when both parties agree the issue has been put to bed. Don't assume that your communication or efforts towards resolution have worked. Explicitly ask to be sure that the air has been cleared and the issue resolved. True resolution means both parties are satisfied with the outcome.

Joji Yuasa: Towards "The Midnight Sun" – Homage to Ze-Ami (1984)
For piano and quadraphonic computer generated tape
Performed by Cecil Lytle
This recording is currently out of print. Another one featuring pianist Aleck Karis is available here.
* * * * *
Program Note:
Towards "The Midnight Sun" - Homage to Ze-Ami was composed and realized on the CARL computer music system at the Center for Music Experiment (CME) at the University of California at San Diego … in the Spring of 1984. It is my second composition for computer, coming after My Blue Sky in Southern California, realized in 1976 at CME. The premiere performance was given on June 3, 1984 at Lincoln Center in New York City, as part of the Horizon '84 Festival, with Alan Feinberg as the pianist.
Two characteristic sound sources are used in this work: synthesized white noise bands; and recorded concrete sounds such as a resonant stone struck with a mallet, a stick of bamboo, sleigh bell, clay bells and a brandy glass. All the sounds are manipulated, formed and transformed by the computer, and then localized in a virtual space, the size of which can be varied to produce different aural sensations of spatial depth.
The aim in this work is to present a musical environment in which the audience can experience a total involvement in the kinetic manipulation of the synthesized sound and the pianist's spontaneous interaction. The role of the pianist here is as a communicator of this ritualistic work rather than as a competitive one in the concert. Spatial manipulation of sound has been a continual topic of research for me since Icon on the Source of White Noise (1967), which makes extensive use of sound movement between five channels.
The titles is taken from the Nine Grades by Ze-Ami, the fifteenth-century establisher of Noh theatre in Japan. In this work, Ze-Ami utilized a Zen koan: "In Shinra, the sun appears clearly at midnight," to explain the indescribable state of extraordinary transcendence achieved as the ultimate attainment in Noh practice.

We offer two ways to locate information:
Red wines that are more fruit-forward and lighter in tannin and body.
Medium bodied reds that go down easy, with smooth tannins and supple fruit.
Wines where earthy and/or spicy dominate the flavors – typically medium to full body.
Full bodied wines that have concentrated fruit and are higher in alcohol and/or tannins. Some need age.
The 2007 pedigree shines through with its dark color, intense perfume and elegance. The nose is a mix of beetroot, cherries and crème caramel. The flavors are rich and lush with black fruits and silky
tannins. With airing, the wine reveals characteristic flavours of boot polish, dark chocolate, flinty gun smoke, dried roses and lavender.
"Very spicy/savoury and with more grenache confection from the High Sands or Old Vine 100% grenache; however, the wine has length thanks to its tannins."

16 U.S. Code § 1826d - Prohibition
The United States, or any agency or official acting on behalf of the United States, may not enter into any international agreement with respect to the conservation and management of living marine resources or the use of the high seas by fishing vessels that would prevent full implementation of the global moratorium on large-scale driftnet fishing on the high seas, as such moratorium is expressed in Resolution 46/215 of the United Nations General Assembly.
Source(Pub. L. 104–43, title VI, § 603,Nov. 3, 1995, 109 Stat. 392.)
Section was enacted as part of the High Seas Driftnet Fishing Moratorium Protection Act, and also as part of the Fisheries Act of 1995, and not as part of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act which comprises this chapter.
Congressional Findings
Pub. L. 104–43, title VI, § 602,Nov. 3, 1995, 109 Stat. 391, provided that: "The Congress finds that—
"(1) Congress has enacted and the President has signed into law numerous Acts to control or prohibit large-scale driftnet fishing both within the jurisdiction of the United States and beyond the exclusive economic zone of any nation, including the Driftnet Impact Monitoring, Assessment, and Control Act of 1987 (title IV, Public Law 100–220) [16 U.S.C. 1822 note], the Driftnet Act Amendments of 1990 (Public Law 101–627) [16 U.S.C. 1826], and the High Seas Driftnet Fisheries Enforcement Act (title I, Public Law 102–582) [see Short Title of 1992 Amendment note set out under section 1801 of this title];
"(2) the United States is a party to the Convention for the Prohibition of Fishing with Long Driftnets in the South Pacific, also known as the Wellington Convention;
"(3) the General Assembly of the United Nations has adopted three resolutions and three decisions which established and reaffirm a global moratorium on large-scale driftnet fishing on the high seas, beginning with Resolution 44/225 in 1989 and most recently in Decision 48/445 in 1993;
"(4) the General Assembly of the United Nations adopted these resolutions and decisions at the request of the United States and other concerned nations;
"(5) the best scientific information demonstrates the wastefulness and potentially destructive impacts of large-scale driftnet fishing on living marine resources and seabirds; and
"(6) Resolution 46/215 of the United Nations General Assembly calls on all nations, both individually and collectively, to prevent large-scale driftnet fishing on the high seas."

Awkward Age
Tampa, FL
Awkward Age is the continued effort of a time when playing 90′s influenced pop punk was a good thing. It's three guys who miss Samiam, the Ramones, Superchunk, and Jawbox, even though two of those bands still exist. Last year was Awkward Age's first Fest, although they've played Fest in their previous bands (the Knockdown, New Bruises, No Truth Lies). They are currently recording their first full length.

154CM - An American made premium grade stainless steel originally developed for tough industrial applications. Known for its best all-around qualities, it offers great corrosion resistance with good toughness and edge quality.
AXIS - A patented Benchmade exclusive, AXIS has been turning heads and winning fans ever since its introduction. A 100-percent ambidextrous design, AXIS gets its function from a small, hardened steel bar which rides forward and back in a slot machined into both steel liners. The bar extends to both sides of the knife, spanning the liners and positioned over the rear of the blade. It engages a ramped, tang portion of the knife blade when it is opened. Two omega style springs, one on each liner, give the locking bar it's inertia to engage the knife tang, and as a result the tang is wedged solidly between a sizable stop pin and the AXIS bar itself.
Drop-Point - A slow convex-curved drop in the point characterizes a drop-point blade. The drop-point format lowers the point for control but adds strength to the tip. Usually coupled with plenty of belly for slicing, this format is often used for hunting knives. It is also a fantastic all-around blade format. This blade shape can be found on a wide array of knives.
Class - Blue Class represents the heart of everything that is Benchmade. These USA made products are designed and built for the individual who appreciates the difference that a high-quality cutting tool can make.

Moderated by Tom Sabulis
The Atlanta-based Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has begun researching the new strain of bird flu recently discovered in China, where people get the virus from infected poultry, and where it's spreading to other cities. More than a dozen people have died. Today, CDC Director Tom Frieden talks about how this flu is different and how the CDC is working on it. In our second column, an expert from the Georgia Department of Public Health addresses says disease-fighting on a local level.
Commenting is open below.
By Tom Sabulis
CDC Director Thomas Frieden talked recently about the latest Avian flu health scare to hit China. The big fear with bird flu virus is that it develops the ability to go from person-to-person and trigger a pandemic.
The scarier aspects of this virus (H7N9): "The first is the severity of illness. A significant proportion of the people who have been diagnosed had severe illness or have died. We expect that more mild cases will be found. The genetic sequence itself… seems to have some characteristics that suggest that it's a little bit adapted to a mammalian host — to people, pigs. So it has the risk of mutating into something that would go person-to-person. And it doesn't cause severe illness in birds. This again is paradoxical: We don't have the clue of sick flocks, so we're not able to cull flocks. If that persists as the pattern, the likelihood is that it could become widespread in birds in China and even neighboring countries. Even if it doesn't develop the ability to spread person-to-person, it would still increase the risk of infections for people who work with poultry."
Reassuring signs: "We have not seen sustained person-to-person spread. China has assessed hundreds of close contacts of (infected) cases and has not identified secondary cases; that's really encouraging, because in regular influenza, you would expect 20 or 30 percent of contacts to be infected. There has been excellent global collaboration. We're building on a decade of preparedness. We're better prepared than ever to deal with a pandemic."
China's reaction to the outbreak: "From the moment the (cases) were reported, the collaboration that we've had with China has been exemplary. We're receiving the virus samples. They posted on the Internet the full genetic sequence of the viruses. We've had regular communication with them."
H7N9 samples at the CDC: "We're doing several key things with it. The first is to understand it well. We'll re-sequence the genome so we know every DNA molecule in it. The most urgent tasks are to come up with the best way of diagnosing the infection. Our laboratory is working on that. We will provide that to China so they can improve the quality of their diagnosis there. The second is to work on seed strains for a vaccine. We don't know that this will spread person-to-person, but we want to be prepared, and that means making a vaccine. If you look at (the) 1918-1919 (flu pandemic), more than 50 million people died. Of all the threats to health, there's none that has as much potential to do harm as influenza."
Why bird flu often hits China: We have generally anticipated influenza coming from Southeast Asia, not just China. There's a very intense animal-human interface. Lots of people, lots of chickens, lots of pigs and all kind of mixed up together in close quarters. About 75 percent of emerging infections come from an animal source. China is what about a fifth of the world's population, so even on an average you expect it to account for a significant portion of the new infections. But you can't let down your guard anywhere. In fact, H1N1 came out of Mexico, and we didn't expect that, so one of the things we try to do in public health always is to expect the unexpected.
What CDC can do that China can't do: CDC laboratories are, in practice, the reference laboratories for the world. We have the top scientists in so many areas, including in influenza. We've already sent to the Chinese some materials that will help them do blood tests to see if people have been exposed to or infected with this strain of flu. When they're safer, we're safer. We have the ability to create a test that's a little more accurate.
CDC's new Advanced Molecular Detection (AMD) Initiative: It's the single most important thing that we can do to improve our ability to protect Americans from infectious disease threats. With AMD , we'll be able to find outbreaks that we missed before, find them sooner than before, stop them quicker and figure out how they're spreading so we can prevent them more effectively.
AMD funding: It's a proposal in the president's budget for FY 2014. $40 million. I'm optimistic. I think there's broad bipartisan support for protecting Americans from infectious disease threats. We need to do this. The microbes are evolving all the time and unless we keep pace with them we will lose the arms race with drug resistance, with new strains, with globalization of travel.
By Tom Sabulis
Along with the CDC on the federal level, local health departments are keeping close watch on the new avian flu outbreak in China. Dr. Cherie Drenzek, State Epidemiologist at the Georgia Department of Public Health, answered a few questions this week:
Q: Should we be concerned with bird flu in China here in the U.S.?
A: Yes, the fact that there's a novel influenza virus infecting humans anywhere in the world is of global concern. Any time there is a brand new flu virus it raises the potential that the virus could become pandemic and spread to other areas of the world rapidly. So far the evidence in China has shown that this particular flu virus has not been able to be transmitted from person to person in a sustained or rapid way, which is the good news.
Q: What does public health department do when you hear of a new outbreak?
A: We actually conduct influenza surveillance through a variety of mechanisms year round. We conduct surveillance for the actual flu viruses, for outpatient illness, for influenza hospitalizations, for influenza deaths. This is how we gain situational awareness about flu anywhere in the world. With something like (the new avian flu), we enhance the surveillance systems. We are on the lookout for individuals who now may have an appropriate travel history to areas of the world where this novel virus is circulating so we can rapidly detect and contain it here. The foundation of any disease containment strategy is really disease surveillance, finding out what's going on, where the virus is located, how it's spreading. In this situation certainly it's imperative to keep an eye out for ill travelers.
Q: You monitor people traveling from China?
A: The CDC is responsible for a lot of that, from the federal level, and has worked very closely with the airline industries and sent out travel alerts to the airlines and put notices in airports. We have a very close relationship with the federal CDC quarantine station at Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport. We deal with ill individuals on planes a lot in trying to assess whether they represent a risk of a communicable disease being transmitted or not.
Q: Are we well-prepared locally to address a pandemic?
A: Influenza pandemic preparedness has been ongoing for many years here in Georgia and across the nation. We gained a lot of practical information experience from the 2009 H1N1 pandemic. You learn as you go (but) as much as we prepare it all can change based on the epidemiology of the virus itself. Is it infecting the young? Is it infecting the old? We really have to rely on the surveillance to guide a lot of our mitigation decisions. These are new viruses. They essentially have to build and manufacture vaccines on the fly while the outbreak is ongoing. Very often the vaccine is not available for months at a time and when it becomes available at first there may not be enough for everyone at risk. So it's really important to use the disease surveillance and the epidemiology to guide prioritization of vaccines.

Dr David Hill @1:41 pm – Well said and Thank-you! for the advice that will surely Fall on Deaf EARS!
When that Time of Destruction arrives, many will reflect on your words and wonder why More was NOT DONE.
Atlanta has one (1) Trauma Hospital (GRADY) for MILLIONS of residents. This is an indication
in itself that everything is NOT BEING DONE as it should be. Our current Governor is more concerned about making sure a local Millionaire gets his Billion Dollar Stadium. The removal of duly disorganized elected school Board Members. Than seeing to it that the Healthcare needs of ALL of Georgia's residnts are addressed and prepared as they should!
Our Political Leaders are not concerned nor Do they CARE about such important Matters, Obviously!

The 'Only' strategy that has ever stopped the human-to-human killer virus in its tracks was in 1997 in Hong Kong and where it was destroyed in 2008. The reason, big pharma sacrificed it on the altar of profit and did not want it to be adopted as there were not the tens of billions in drug sales.
But where the giant pharmaceutical companies are fooling humanity because based upon the comparison with the 1918 Spanish Flu and the 2009 Swine Flu pandemic, vaccines will always come too late. Indeed the SF did its worst between week 16 and week 24, and where the Swine flu vaccine was passed for mass production 7 months 1 week after the first death, a clear 5 weeks before the SF did its worst and killed up to 100 million humans. This time around and where Margaret Chan (D-G of the WHO) has said many times that it is only a matter of time not when, with the world's population increasing 4-times to what it was in 1918 and rapid
global transit now, over 300 million humans will perish.
The world has to come to its senses and for its own good to stop the big pharmaceuticals taking us to hell and adopt Prof. Shortridge's strategy that stopped the killer virus in its tracks and before it is far too late.
When it comes as it will with our present thinking, it will totally decimate the global economy (including the giant pharmaceuticals) and make the global financial meltdown look like a storm in a teacup.

Personally, having all those caged birds, thousands and thousands of birds so close they can not turn around is the cause. It is an unnatural situation where illness where illness spreads quickly.
And all the manure going into one area where ground water is affected.

MrLiberty @ 8:49 pm – Your comment surely is well intended. However, you are not aware or informed of how serious and dangerous the potential for the destruction for Mankind worldwide this strain presents.
If this Virus is ever exposed to any general population and/or mutated among even among one individual. There is NO CURE, available!
There are not enough Quarantine ready spaces to Treat and Care for those who are infected. Not even remotely!

Given the results of the non-pandemic for H1N1, it appears as though our greatest fear is that the government, WHO, the CDC, and others will blow this WAY out of proportion again just to line the pockets of the pharmaceutical industry, the vaccine cartel, and others who profit from paranoia and scare tactics. Of course there is a concern and should be about any potential disease that kills, but it should be clear to everyone now that these non-events are all about directing taxpayer dollars into the purchase of Tamiflu, emergency supplies, vaccines and other costly products that ultimately will be flushed down the drain after they expire from non-use.
One need only look at the grossly inflated annual flu statistics to see how corrupt the CDC is in its own reporting. Deaths are reported in the 10s of thousands while most of these are from pneumonia and impact otherwise immune-compromised individuals. Meanwhile flu vaccine effectiveness is purportedly well below 50% and the actual figures may be quite lower.
Vitamin D, vitamin C, avoiding the toxic chemicals in vaccines (especially the annual flu vaccine), high intake of green vegetables (ideally raw), and other natural ways to boost immunity continue to be the best and safest means to combat the varied onslaught of foreign organisms that we are all exposed to daily.
Qui bono? Who benefits? We need only look at the financial relationships between the disease profiteers and those working for the CDC, WHO, and others to understand exactly why this conspiracy of lies is perpetrated.
Let us hope that more and more people have seen through the fraud that has been exposed regarding the previous "pandemic" non-event and will not buy into the lies another time and will speak out and stop their governments from wasting additional billions of dollars that could be better spent on improving health rather than furthering unwarranted panic.

I'm Lucas Wysocki with your weekly look at mortgage rates. Fixed mortgage rates fell to new record lows this week, with the benchmark 30-year fixed mortgage sinking to 3.70 percent, according to Bankrate.com's weekly national survey. The average 15-year fixed mortgage rate plunged to 2.95 percent and the larger jumbo 30-year mortgage retreated to 4.32 percent, both record lows. Adjustable mortgage rates reset record lows also, with the 5-year and 7-year ARMs dropping to record lows of 2.69 percent and 2.87 percent, respectively.
The Federal Reserve's unveiling of a new stimulus program known as QE3, in which they'll be buying $40 billion of mortgage-backed securities each month on an open-ended basis exceeded the market's expectations and helped bring mortgage rates to new lows. Unhappy with the pace of economic recovery or job growth, the Fed felt compelled to take additional measures, even if those measures will be more effective at boosting the stock market and reducing interest rates than the stated intentions of lifting economic output and aiding job growth.
If you're looking to take advantage of the ultra-low mortgage rates, start by shopping around using the free search engine, right here at Bankrate.com. I'm Lucas Wysocki.
Fixed mortgage rates were slightly higher this week.

In the CU*Answers Kitchen
Our BIG Idea for 2013-2014: How FEP/ING may affect recipes in the Kitchen
This is a year of some major foundation projects, including the big one we're calling FEP/ING. Other than finishing up work already in the queue and taking care of routine and urgent repairs, we are gearing up to focus our resources on this work. That means putting a hold on most new development for a while.
That doesn't mean there won't be anything cooking in the Kitchen. While some of the recipes here will be put on the back burner (or stored in the freezer) for a while, we will still use this space to discuss design ideas we're thinking about for the future. And of course we'll keep you updated on our progress on the FEP/ING project here as well.
We hope you'll still poke your head in our Kitchen once in a while and see what's cooking!
We're always cooking up new ideas here in the CU*Answers Kitchen and we'd like to share some of our current recipes with you. These are some of the large topic projects that are currently in varying phases of development. These 'recipes' are not designed to show you the nitty-gritty specifics but rather showcase the general ingredients involved and the 'chef' who is your point person if you do want more information.
Click through and check out what's cooking now and check back later to see how the menu changes.
Please note: All targeted implementation dates shown on these pages are subject to change without notice. For the most recent list of projects in the pipeline (updated every week), visit our Release Planning page.

Team Amundsen's report today comes from Lou Rudd, who shares with us his superstitious relationship with "Mother Antarctica" and the "big white freezer". Lou's prayers appear to have been answered with a day of perfect conditions – blue sky, little cloud and an ideal surface – all of which helped them on to yet another personal best of 15.5 nautical miles!
For the statisticians out there, this is the fourth day in a row that Team Amundsen has either matched or exceeded a personal best, an incredible achievement!
We also hear about the marvel that is Antarctic acclimatisation, achieved to the point where the guys now consider 0 degrees centigrade "uncomfortable and too warm", and Lou ends his report with some personal messages to friends, including neighbours Keith and Ena, John Spencer and Paul Massey, all avid supporters and message-of-support leavers.
The day ends with a heartwarming tale of friendship, support and sympathy in the Amundsen tent, all summed up in just one, touching word from Henry – "mong". Lovely!

Unfortunately, today's report from the Scott team as delivered by Kev Johnson was cut short due to a failure in the satellite link from the Antarctic. However, all is well as Kev was able to relay their daily sit rep data including a daily distance of 11.2 nautical miles. Kev reported that the weather was generally very good, with little wind and temperatures of -9 degrees (-18 wind chill).

We give voice to the loved ones of our intrepid adventurers. This week, Joanna Worsley of the South Pole Lonely Wives' Club (SPLWC) shares her thoughts:
"The Scott-Amundsen Race is Henry's second, and surely not his last, expedition to the South Pole. The first, three years ago, took five years to plan with a great many people helping in all aspects of the fundraising, training, planning and publicity. This one seems to have taken a brief few months which is an extraordinary achievement."
"I remember clearly the day Mark came to our house in Hereford only a year ago. As he laid out a very white map in our conservatory, I knew straight away, and accepted, that the challenge and thrill of a second expedition would be too enticing for Henry to decline. Henry, however, being a great deal less certain of what our reactions might be, spent a week tiptoeing around our children – Max and Alicia – and me, reassuring us that he had only assumed the role of an 'advisor'! But the truth will out, and after Max's prompting that his father was a wimp for not participating in the race, it was only a day until Henry's role turned from that of 'advisor' to leading the Amundsen team!"
"I've always been positive about this expedition, particularly as Amundsen's route through the mountains seems to have no cravasses which might otherwise have caused some anxiety as there are only two of them."
"I'm thrilled when people follow their dreams and even more thrilled when they achieve them. There is a wonderful quote by Henry David Thoreau in the mid 19th Century 'go confidently in the direction of your dreams! Live the life you've imagined'. I have no desire at all to visit the South (or North) Pole myself and am more than happy leaving that to Henry. It is Asia that recharges my soul and fills my life more and more as the children turn into independent young adults, and so I head to India in the New Year….."
If you're a family member or close friend, and would like to send your message out to all the readers, please do email Andrew Gough (webmaster) at email@example.com.

Huntsville Police arrested Jarvis after a short stakeout at a used appliance store. When Madison Police heard of the arrest, they began comparing similarities between the cases and were able to connect Jarvis to the crimes in Madison.
Madison investigators say Jarvis stole $8,000 worth of new kitchen appliances from homes still under construction. The burglaries happened at the end of August and beginning of September.
Homes on New Bristol Lane and Hardiman Place Lane were hit. Those homes are in subdivisions off County Line Road, within the Madison City limits of Limestone County.
Investigators say construction crews reported the missing appliances. Police are now working to recover them.
"The financial burden of this typically falls back on the builder. Of course, once they contact us we put extra patrols in the area and we try to patrol as best we can, but there are so many new subdivisions and so many new houses under construction that it is difficult to do," explained Lt. Terrell Cook with the Madison Police Department.
Huntsville Police say Jarvis was selling the stolen items to a used appliance store. Madison Police believe he was doing the same with the items stolen in Madison.

StoryCorps: Danny and Annie
Annie Perasa is, according to StoryCorps founder Dave Isay, "awesome."
Annie recorded her story with her husband, Danny. The first time they stopped in at StoryCorps, they described their first date, 25 years later. Annie recounted the love letters Danny would leave her each morning ("To my princess, the weather out today is extremely rainy. I'll call you at 11:20 in the morning," he would write), and Danny spoke adoringly of Annie.
"Being married is like having a color television set, you never want to go back to black-and-white," Danny says.
After Danny fell ill with sudden, fast-acting cancer, StoryCorps went to their home in Brooklyn and did a follow up interview. Danny died a few hours after it aired on NPR. Listeners sent in thousands of letters to Annie. Annie made two copies of every letter. She buried one copy with Danny and kept the other for herself. She said she opens one a day, in place of the letter Danny would have left her.

Customer Reviews
What i was expecting
I ordered this gate for the purpose of keeping my Fox-Terrier out of the kitchen, which is the semi-exclusive domain of the cat. My original idea was to leave the door open for the cat to use. However, the door is big enough for the dog to get through. The cat has taken to jumping over the gate entirely, so problem solved. The gate is somewhat secure via the tension provided by the bar and the tensioning screw, but it will still collapse if moderate pressure is put on it.
It is keeping the dog out of rooms we do not want her in. Excellent.

Advice on making wonky improvisational log cabin blocks
But yesterday, when I was sewing some wonky log cabin blocks, I had the bright idea to fill my watering can and leave it on my ironing board. Log cabins require a lot of steaming and pressing, so I run out of water in the iron fairly often. Rather than making several trips to the faucet with the little refill container, I fill the iron with the watering can. It saves me trips, plus the narrow spout on it easily pours into the water chamber the top of the iron. While a fairly obvious insight, it did make me think that sometimes it can help to have some advice on things, even if it's kind of intuitive material.
So let me share some of my wisdom about making wonky log cabin blocks, one of the areas where I do probably have some specialized knowledge.
How I got started making improvisational log cabin blocks:
A perusal of my quilt collection quickly reveals that I love Denyse Schmidt's quilt book and her general style of making quilts. I've made versions of probably half the quilts in her book and made others inspired by work she posts on her website. Early on, I used the templates from her book. It's a good way to figure out how wonky pieces fit together, but now that I'm a more experienced quilter, I can't imagine working from paper templates. All of the quilts I've made over the last few years have been done without patterns or templates. Now that I make more blocks improvisationally without patterns or measurement, I've collected a few tips and tidbits about how to do it better.
My tips on making wonky quilt blocks:
1. Make sure you consider contrast in terms of the width of your strips.
Using very thick strips on two adjoining sides and thin strips on the other two sides will result in a more interesting final quilt.
My first visual aid:
In this example, see how different A and B look. On its own, A looks like a perfectly lovely block. And it is. But a whole quilt of A will look much more uniform and grid like than a quilt that combines a few versions like A and many versions like B.
From my own collection, compare a more orderly wonky log cabin built from many A blocks with a wonkier quilt built from more B blocks. I wish I took my own advice more often, as I tend to be more cautious when I construct blocks, and I end up with more traditional looking blocks than I sometimes want.
One way to force yourself to induce more contrast is by cutting very thin and very thick strips to use as your log cabin building material. Even if you end up trimming some of them down later, you should end up with at least some higher contrast blocks.
I also recommend doing this when you frame the block with sashing. That way when you line the blocks up together, they won't all be perfectly parallel. Some blocks will be left of center, others right, some top aligned, some centered, and some bottom aligned. Here's one of my quilts where I used this strategy - see how it results in irregular block spacing?
2. After sewing a round of strips to form one of the squares of the log cabin, pivot the block a few degrees and resquare the block.
I usually construct my log cabin blocks from straight strips as they are easy to cut. The mathematicians in the room have deduced that this will result in very square and linear blocks. One way to avoid this is to introduce angles by pivoting the block when you trim it. One way to do this is to put your block on your gridded mat, twist it a few degrees off alignment, and then cut along the grid on the mat. Or if you have a slightly irregular shape to the square, choose one of the odd angles of the shape, and then square the other sides to be perfectly parallel (or perpendicular) to that irregular side.
Sometimes I do this at each stage of the log cabin construction, choosing different and opposing angles each time, and sometimes I just do it once or twice in a block. The more you do it, the more irregular the resulting block.
Visual aid:
You of course need not cut all sides to force a square shape. You could instead just cut one side or two, leaving an irregular polygon. The result will be a much more angular final block. I just have found that I like the look better when I rotate and square the whole block, rather than just cutting angles into one or two sides.
Here's a quilt where I used both strategies:
3. Different sized center pieces
One simple way to induce irregular log cabin blocks is to start with different sized center pieces. If some centers are small squares, some centers are large squares, some centers are long rectangles, and some squares are tall rectangles, you will end up with some nice heterogeneity of log cabins even without introducing angles or pivots or wavy seams.
Visual aid:
4. Advice on layout
I think layout is very important with wonky log cabins. Because the blocks are usually not symmetrical, you can easily change the look and balance of a quilt by just rotating a block 90 degrees. I don't have a felt design wall, so I end up laying out the quilt on the floor. But because you don't get a good head-on perspective of the quilt this way, I recommend taking some digital photos where you stretch your camera hand over the quilt to get a view over the whole thing flat. Then upload the pictures to the computer. When I look at the whole quilt on the screen this way, I sometimes see things I missed - like clusters of like colors together, or too much white space in some corner.
So these are just a few pointers from me. I've posted some additional advice from others below. If you have any other links or suggestions, please post them in the comments!
Other people's advice on making improvisational log cabins:
1. In the past, I've heard the advice to cut strips with scissors rather than a rotary cutter to promote wonkiness. I've never tried it but it sounds like a good idea.
2. I've also read that people will load a paper bag with strips and then randomly draw pieces to sew onto a base block, as a way to promote improvisational piecing.
3. Jacquie has an excellent tutorial for the basic construction of a wonky block.
4. The advice from Pink Chalk Studio on making wavy log cabins is also handy.

Thanks for the compliments, I may have many more years of sewing experience but you have made a lot more quilts than me. Our styles and tastes differ, so it's always neat to get your take on a project.

Awesome post! Thanks for laying everything out like this.
- Kris said...
What a fantastic post! This is really helpful in thinking about designing a quilt like this. I'm about to jump in on one myself and this gives me a lot of concrete ways to think about the issues I've had floating around in my head. Thanks!
- Amy Seven-Stitches said...
Awesome tips. Thank you so much for sharing, and I just love the visual aids.
- Wendy said...
Pivot and resquare! Brilliant!!!
- Nanette Merrill and daughters said...
Being new to "wonky" myself I found this very informative. When I made my daughter's graduation quilt I wasn't really sure what to do. The watering can idea is good. Your mom is great. What would we have been without our mothers???
As the possessor of the quilt made of more orderly A blocks I must say I think it is very effective the way it is. Those small orange blocks have a lot of impact, maybe because there are lots of different fabrics in the quilt. Maybe the number of different colors has something to do with the total effect. Very interesting tutorial. I'll look forward to more--it might motivate me to start a quilt of my own.
- msalleycat said...
This is a great post! I like how you broke it down into simple, bite-sized pieces. I've been trying to figure out I like some of my blocks better than others, and pivot-vs-angle answers the questions. AND, I've been fav'ing your quilts on Flickr for about a year now, but just realized you have a blog! How is that possible?!? Consider me subscribed.
- Annette said...
Wow, wonderful post. I am new to Wonky quilts. This post is so helpful. Love the freedom with these quilts.
I use a plastic table cloth w/ felt backing over the shower rod (in my guest bathroom) for my design "wall". It works great & is easily moved as needed,

Impressed by gPress
@msmalley – I am very impressed by this plugin even in this early stage of development – I am very keen to see a working plugin for BuddyPress that works across members profiles, groups and sitewide tagging which presents browsers with location centric information of other members based on the browsers IP location and member profile types or filters.
Excited to see how this develops and would am looking forward to 0.2.5
Do you have any idea of timescales ?
anyway – good stuff
