The Strike King Series 6 XD Crankbait was designed and tested for over a year with 5-time BASS Angler-of-the-Year, Kevin VanDam before he unveiled a prototype and used it to produce some substantial weights in route to his 2nd place finish in the 2009 BASS Elite Series event at Kentucky Lake. In order to attack those big ledge fish, KVD wanted to make sure this new bait would not only reach 18-20-foot depths, but that it had the right wobble and shimmy once it got there to attract the bass and entice them to bite. Well balanced, it casts like a bullet and has a super-steep dive angle to reach the strike zone quickly. VanDam said he easily got this bait down to 18 to 19-feet on every cast, and it was the erratic action once it hit the bottom and then began to wander off that triggered the bass to bite.
" ... during the tournament days, I caught about 90-percent of the bass I weighed-in on the Series 6 XD." - Kevin VanDam on his 2nd place finish at the 2009 BASS Elite Series event at Kentucky Lake.

Comments: Went to pick wick lake and was killin largemouth and smallmouth on ledges. Great bait
From: Will: MS
Comments: I went on a guided trip on Lake Guntersville last year with a Gizzard Shad colored 6XD I was catching white bass on every cast and on my last cast I pulled out a 10 lb largemouth and ever since then I've been ripping out big ol bass I would recommend this lure to anyone.
From: Tyler: LA
Comments: Great plug once you replace the treble hooks that come on them.
From: Lucas: AL
Comments: These 6XD's are at the top of the food chain when it comes to the ULTIMATE crankbait! They run perfect from the time you put them in your cart to the time they first hit water. I will say that the best thing about this crankbait is the fact it catches all sizes of bass, but the 10XD is a little over kill..I have one and will not be buying another and I would suggest not buying one unless you plan on fishing, say, Falcon Lake or similar if not definitely stick to the 6XD's!!
Comments: Worth every penny and you wont be sorry.
From: Kimo
Comments: Not my go to bait, but there is something about these baits that seem to irritate bass into biting. Good crank for the price.
From: Greg: AL
Comments: After cranking a 30 foot drop throwing a hot lips.....no bite I tied on a 6xd and won the tournament with a 12 pound bass!!
From: Patrick
Comments: Went out one day on a small lake we have a cabin at using kvd square bill cuz they killed the day before but had a tought... no bite for 5-6 hours decided to throw on a 5xd still no luck. I sized up to 6xd and worked drop offs first 3 casts brought 2 fish to the boat; 4+ lbs and 3ish respectivley. dragged in a two pounder and another four within the next 20 minutes. Wish it had been a tournament would've been working a pretty good bag. All on the stock hooks worked GREAT not one bend. only left cuz i hooked my brother
From: Sam: NY
Comments: Honest, I have not caught any on it yet. I have run it a few times and it runs great. Dives Quick. Didnt need tune. Good hooks for price. Good split ring. This bait is big so here in the North West I think that there are limited conditions for its use (mugy/windy post spawn and summer only). I probably wont throw it much during slick conditions.
From: Nate: Pasco, WA
Comments: @Hale, When buying a crankbait, it should never be an issue about the eyes staying on (doesn't matter one bit) and the stock hooks sucking (about 90% of people i know change out stock hooks on practically all crankbaits) the real issue should be the ability of the bait to get down there where the piggies are, the action (which is pretty damn good) and the option to have a silent and a rattling crankbait of the exact same model and size. When buying crankbaits, consider these options.. not the eyes coming out.. the eyes do not matter on bit.
Comments: well i got mine in today.there the powder blue black char and sexy shad and i went to Lake Falcon i caught me 2 12 Pounders and a7 Pounder!!!!!!!.its a big fish machine.
From: Thomas: San Angelo, TX
Comments: I received two of these for Christmas and a few days later I was using them on Falcon Lake in Texas. I caught a 13.36 lb largemouth(turned into the Texas Share Lunker program), an 8 pounder a few casts later, and two six pounders on this crank bait in just a few hours on 12/28/11. My 5 best fish went for 38 lbs. I lost a few others that would of put me over 40 lbs easy. We tried other crank baits but only little fish would hit them, while these cranks caught everything. Thanks Dustin for the Christmas gift!
From: Jason: Murray, UT
Comments: All other Strike King crankbaits I have bought have been terrible, action sucks,not running straight,etc. SO I was scepticle about buying the XD series I am very pleased that I did t. These baits run very well out of the package and have decent hooks on them. These are by far the best lure Strike King has put out besides the red eye shad.
From: Jr: Schell City, MO
Comments: These are by far my favorite deep diving crankbaits. I always replace the stock hooks with Gamakatsu's, but I have caught lots of good fish and many big fish during the summer fishing super deep humps, drops and ledges here in Kalamazoo and all the way down to Dale Hollow Lake in Tennessee. Largemouths on Barren River Lake, KY gobble these up!! Excellent bait, also check out 5XD, 3XD and KVD 1.0 for next year.
From: Aeolian: Kalamazoo, MI
Comments: Bait swims excellently right out of the package. Hooks arent the best, but thats an easy exchange. Good color options, run deep, and are priced right. Good luck!
From: Thomas: Rockwall, TX
Comments: For the money cant beat it and it produces big time, its up there with DD 22's, XD runs a little deeper.
From: Buddy: South Carolina, USA
Comments:I threw this crankbait all day today with the stock hooks. I caught several fish including an 11 pounder. The paint stayed and the eyes were intact. One hook did bend on the 11 pounder. All I can say is wow. I will be buying some more.
From:Danny: Milan, TN
Comments:Religiously used DD22s and Hot Lips and was never a big fan of SK's crankbaits, but the 6xd's are a completely different story. These are the best deep divers (affordable ones anyway) I've used and my ownly gripe are the hooks but I replace all my crank hooks with Owner Stingers anyway.
From:Allen: Pennsylvania, USA
Comments:These crankbaits have great action, but are cheaply made. Expect the eyes to fall off and the hooks to be cheap - as it is with all other strike king crankbaits. The Fat Free shads and DD22's are made with higher quality.

Although down insulation and wool are popular choices for midlayer jackets, a fleece can be a versatile, affordable choice. Fleece is a synthetic material that offers ample warmth, feels lightweight, and breathes well. A fleece jacket is a great option for a mid-layer under a shell or as a primary layer when you're out in cold, dry weather.

Standard & Poor's rating action one notch down for Barry Callebaut to BB+
- Standard & Poor's assigned a BB+ rating to Barry Callebaut AG
Zurich/Switzerland – March 28, 2013 – Barry Callebaut, the world's leading manufacturer of high-quality cocoa and chocolate products, announced today that Standard & Poor's Rating Services (S&P) assigned a 'BB+' corporate rating to Barry Callebaut AG, down from BBB-. The rating outlook is negative. At the same time, the rating on the senior unsecured notes is 'BB+' in line with the corporate credit rating.
According to Standard & Poor's, the downgrade reflects that the acquisition of Singapore-based Petra Foods Ltd.'s Cocoa Ingredients Division indicates a more aggressive financial policy than anticipated.
On April 22 2013, Barry Callebaut will propose at an Extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders to finance the acquisition through a combination of new equity for an equivalent amount of USD 300 million and a USD 600 million Rule 144A/Reg S USD bond offering.
Victor Balli, CFO of Barry Callebaut, said: "After achieving investment grade a bit more than one year ago, we expected and communicated in December 2012 a potential downgrade based on the acquisition of Petra Foods' Cocoa Ingredients Division and related rating metrics. We are convinced of the strategic long-term value of this important strategic acquisition and, based on our long-term strategy, we will continue to invest in future growth. Despite such investments might temporarily affect our profitability, balance sheet ratios and cash generation, we are fully committed to go back to investment grade within the next few years."
Barry Callebaut (www.barry-callebaut.com):
With annual sales of about CHF 4.8 billion (EUR 4.0 billion / USD 5.2 billion) for fiscal year 2011/12, Zurich-based Barry Callebaut is the world's leading manufacturer of high-quality cocoa and chocolate – from the cocoa bean to the finest chocolate product. Barry Callebaut is present in 30 countries, operates around 45 production facilities and employs a diverse and dedicated workforce of about 6,000 people. Barry Callebaut serves the entire food industry focusing on industrial food manufacturers, artisans and professional users of chocolate (such as chocolatiers, pastry chefs or bakers), the latter with its two global brands Callebaut® and Cacao Barry®. Barry Callebaut is the global leader in cocoa and chocolate innovations and provides a comprehensive range of services in the fields of product development, processing, training and marketing. Cost leadership is another important reason why global as well as local food manufacturers work together with Barry Callebaut. Through its broad range of sustainability initiatives and research activities, the company works with farmers, farmer organizations and other partners to help ensure future supplies of cocoa and improve farmer livelihoods.

How Virtual Pop Star Hatsune Miku Blew Up in Japan
A Hatsune Miku concert begins humanly enough. If you've ever had the heart to accompany a daughter or niece to, say, a Justin Bieber or Miley Cyrus extravaganza, you know the drill: The young crowd rushes in, giggling, making yelplike noises that adult throats don't make, repeating the titles of songs as if they were mantras. The band emerges, followed by more young-throat noises, followed by the diminutive but eerily poised headliner, who recalls one of those grown-up-looking babies in Renaissance art. Followed by pubescent rapture.
At a Hatsune Miku concert, that's also the moment when the proceedings take a turn for the, well, the only precise way of saying it is for the Japanese. Miku is not human. She is a virtual idol, a holographic star. Miku is crowdsourced, ever-evolving, famous software. Not even her fans know, or care, how to taxonomize her. ("She's rather more like a goddess: She has human parts, but she transcends human limitations. She's the great posthuman pop star," one fansite reads.) Her bandmates are all actual people playing real instruments, but Miku is projected onto the stage, singing, if that's the word, in avian-robot trills. She was programmed to do this months before, thousands of miles away.
Not that her forecoded unreality interferes with widespread adoration. On the contrary, Miku is now one of the biggest acts in Asia—as popular in her native Japan as Sega's iconic Sonic the Hedgehog. She has devotees beyond Japan too. Last November she gave a concert in Singapore, drawing 3,000 fans—only about half of them female, not all young. They sang along in Japanese, a language many of them didn't speak. Some came dressed as Miku. Others waved Miku dolls to the beat. One girl watched a Miku video on her phone while a digitized Miku played in front of her.
A young man holding a Miku figurine aloft like a votive offering said her songs are "very touching." Another fan, Wei Qi, who was 15 and was wearing clip-on cat ears, pointed out that "it doesn't take a human to sing a good song."
Amy, a 13-year-old who'd come with a friend, was even more enthusiastic. The two fans were in full Miku regalia: blue wigs, gray sleeveless one-pieces, and blue clip-on ties. "It's a good thing" Miku isn't human, she said. "She's not going to die. She's not going to turn into Miley Cyrus, where she gets drunk or something."
Amy first became interested in Miku after seeing concert footage online. She then submerged herself in Miku subculture, but she knew little about the star's origins. This is just as Miku's creators would have it.
Miku got her start as a marketing ploy. Nearly every corporation and organization in Japan has an anthropomorphized mascot, from the telecom giant NTT Docomo (Docomodake, a glum-faced mushroom) to the Tokyo Metropolitan Police (a flying mouselike creature called Pipo-kun). Miku was conceived as a mascot for Crypton Future Media, a maker of virtual instrument software, the stuff that facilitates the creation of the noise you hear in commercials and videogames but also, increasingly, much of the Top 40.
In 2007 Crypton's CEO, Hiroyuki Itoh, was looking for a way to market a virtual voice program he'd developed using Yamaha's Vocaloid 2 technology. Vocaloid's first version had not sold well because, it was suggested to Itoh, it didn't sound very lifelike. He disagreed. (Japan's appetite for all things humanoid is insatiable, he knew, if properly plied.) What Vocaloid needed, Itoh believed, was an aidoru, an idol. So he engaged an illustrator of graphic novels in Tokyo who goes by the single name Kei. Itoh told Kei he wanted something cute but also slightly edgy, something that would attract creative young people to Vocaloid. Kei came back with a rendering of a 16-year-old girl who was 5'2″ and weighed 92 pounds. She had long, thin legs, coquettish bug-eyes, pigtailed blue locks that reached almost to the ground, and a computer module on her forearm. Her first name, Miku, meant "future"; her surname, Hatsune, "first sound."
Crypton's small office is on a tree-lined boulevard in Sapporo. As Japanese cities go, it's pretty unfuturistic. So is Crypton's office. There are no robot assistants. Instead of a talking Miku holograph, you're greeted in the conference room by a row of Miku figurines and dolls sitting dejectedly on the windowsill.
Like Miku's fans, Itoh has difficulty defining what category of thing Miku falls into. Around the office, he says, she's not referred as an idol or a character or a cartoon.
"She's … Hatsune Miku," he says.
Has he ever imagined a backstory for her? A home, a family, a life before Vocaloid?
"No," he says, as though the pointlessness of that should be obvious. "Just age, height, weight—and outfits."
In fact, it would be pointless; Itoh knew that if Miku caught on, her followers would write her story. Such is the genius, beauty, and grotesque fetishistic wonder of otaku culture. These geeky fans are devoted to characters, not Western-style celebrities. Human stars burn out quickly in Japan, but beloved characters—from Hello Kitty to Gundam—last for years. When a character from an anime series or a manga comic, a videogame, a toy line, or even porn catches on, fans engage with it by making new iterations and variations of their own—homemade videos, manga, games, more porn. The Japanese term for this, niji sousaku, translates as "secondary creativity."
Cultural critic Hiroki Azuma calls the results a "database model" of creation, driven by networks of consumer-producers for whom authenticity and intellectual property are less important than detail and invention. "It is quite ambiguous what the original is or who the original author is, and the consumers rarely become aware of the author or the original. For them, the distinction between the original and the spin-off products (as copies) does not exist," Azuma wrote recently.
Ian Condry, a professor at MIT who teaches courses in Japanese pop culture, including a section on Miku, says the character serves "as a platform people can build on. She becomes a tool of connection who, through people's participation, comes alive."

Grammie decided when she became a great-grandma that she wanted to be called Nonna. Both her parents and her husband's parents were Italian immigrants to the United States in the early 20th Century. So even though she grew up in Maine, her family was very proudly Italian. (See? You can tell by the tomato harvest.) I'm glad she has passed that heritage on to her great-grandchildren and glad that they will always remember their Nonna.

A quilt for Grammie

What a lovely quilt for Grammie - I'm sure she'll appreciate not only it's comfort but the thought you put into making it!
I made both my Grandmas quilts last year - they're 95 and 97 (we go on for ever in our family!) My Mum had to have words with the younger one when she found the quilt folded up because she was "saving it for best"!!So lovely and even more special. No doubt she will love it and think of you every time she sees it/uses it. I know what you mean about not waiting...I finally made both of my Grandmothers a quilt but I didn't get serious about it until after both my Grandfathers passed away. Hope your Saturday is sunny (it's kinda dreary here). Smiles~Beth
ReplyDeleteIt is beautiful, and I know she will love it. My husband's grandmother was the quilter of the family, and she was my inspiration to start quilting. I set about making my third quilt for her, but she passed before I could finish it. So I am very happy yours will be received and appreciated.
ReplyDeleteThat is a wonderful gift. I too want to make a quilt for all those I love.
http://richardquilts.blogspot.comI never made a quilt for my grandma. She made quilts, Crocheted bookmarks and Dresses for me and my children and it never occurred to me to make her one. She's been gone for a while now. She lived to be 97. What a great way to honor her birthday! Will you get to deliver it personally or send it to her?
ReplyDeleteoh, Amy! it's a wonderful quilt and a beautiful story to go with it. i made a quilt for my grandma a few years ago and she absolutely loved it (we all kinda wondered if she would) and i'm so glad that i gave it to her when i did. it's fun to bless your grandma with a quilt.
p.s. so glad that you liked the quilt label tutorial! (i need to get better at labeling my quilts, too! esp. the ones i keep at home.)Amy
I too was planning on making my Nana a quilt for her 91st birthday last June. (I have just recently started quilting - probably less than a year since I made my first quilt). Unfortunatly she passed away suddenly last March. I know that she would have loved anything made by me, but also loved the fact that I have been sewing/quilting.
I am glad that you were able to finish the quilt.A beautiful quilt for you're grandmother. Our grandmothers have been gone for a few years now, but our mothers are both in their 80's, and they are in nursing homes within 10 miles of our home. We see them several times a week, one has Alzheimers and the other has dementia. The one with dementia my wife's mother quilted faithfully until about 5 years ago when she suddenly couldn't remember how. But she still loves beautiful quilts.
ReplyDeleteAmy, have to laugh at how in sync we are at times. Just finished giving a lesson on Family History, watched Downton Abby while binding a quilt (luv sunday @ 8pm.)& made a goal this year to gift more quilts to those important people in my life. Your awesome, love the quilt & so will Nonna! Take care my friend. You are a jewel.
ReplyDeleteAmy - I've been a blog reader (or perhaps "lurker" is the better word) for a while now and have continually been impressed and inspired by your work. But, as I read this post, I could help but tear up. My grandmother passed away in November and in October I hand delivered a quilt I made for her, so your sentiments struck home. Thank you for sharing your story. And, of course, the quilt is beautiful.
Thank you so much for your comments - they make my day! I try to respond to as many as my 'mommy' time allows, but life sometimes gets in the way. Please know how much I appreciate each of them.
I apologize for the current comment settings that require a registered user account. They are the only way that I don't get tons of gross spam. I'm hoping Blogger will make a way where people who are not registered users, but would like to leave a comment can do so. Please, Blogger! In the mean time, thanks for your patience.
I also love to respond to questions. If you are a no-reply blogger, please leave an email address so I can get back to you. Or you can email me directly: amy @ diaryofaquilter.com. Thanks!

Ryan McBride/Staff photographer A Tuftonboro woman driving this Chevy Impala as well as two dogs in her vehicle were killed in a two-vehicle head-on collision on Route 28 in Alton shortly after 5 p.m. Tuesday.
ALTON — A man and a woman were killed in a two-vehicle head-on crash on Route 28 at approximately 5:05 p.m. Tuesday.While police did not provide names for the deceased on Tuesday, Police Chief Ryan Heath said both drivers were pronounced dead at the scene. The victims were identified Wednesday as Ferenc Nagy, 50, of Gilmanton, who was driving his Chevrolet pickup truck southbound, and Mary Lovasco, 54, of Mirror Lake, who was driving her Chevrolet Impala northbound.Fire and rescue officials had to use extrication tools to remove both bodies from the vehicles.There were no passengers in either vehicles, but two dogs in the back of the woman's car described by Heath as a pit bull mix and a Labrador mix were also killed.Heath said this "is one of the hardest impacts I've ever seen in my career.""This is a horrific crash," he said.The crash occurred about one-half mile north of Quarry Road. Heath said it appears the woman was driving a maroon Chevrolet Impala north, and the man silver Chevrolet pickup truck south on Route 28 when the accident occurred.Heath said there were no signs of any braking by either of the drivers, and both vehicles were likely traveling at least 55 mph, which is the speed limit on that road.

Roundtable Discussion: Championing Children's Rights in the European Parliament Wednesday 24 September 2014
ROOM ASP 6 D 128 (access through the European Parliament Library ASP building, section D, 5th floor)
The new European Parliament must have the institutional capacity to stand up for the interests of children in every aspect of its work. We call on MEPs to ensure the rights of all children around the world are respected and fulfilled. All 28 EU Member States have ratified the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child; the Lisbon Treaty makes the promotion of children's rights an explicit objective of EU internal and external affairs and the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights requires that the best interests of the child is a primary consideration in all EU actions.
The Child Rights Action Group, bringing together international and European organisations promoting children's rights both in the EU and in its external action, invite you to debate how you can translate your commitment into concrete results for children.
Interested to make a commitment to children's rights in the European Parliament? Please read our Manifesto and sign up to become a Child Rights Champion.
The European Federation for Street Children (EFSC) is a non for profit organization established in 1994, with the legal status of an `Association Sans But Lucratif´ (ASBL) in Luxembourg.

Pelvic muscle strengthening exercises; Pelvic floor exercises
Kegel exercises can help make the muscles under the uterus, bladder, and bowel (large intestine) stronger. They can help both men and women who have problems with urine leakage or bowel control.
You may have these problems as you get older or if you gain weight, after pregnancy and childbirth, or after prostate surgery (men) or gynecologic (female) surgery. People who have brain and nerve disorders may also have problems with urine leakage or bowel control.
Kegel exercises can be done any time you are sitting or lying down. You can do them when you are eating, sitting at your desk, driving, and when you are resting or watching television.
A Kegel exercise is like pretending you have to urinate and then holding it. You relax and tighten the muscles that control urine flow. It's important to find the right muscles to tighten.
Next time you have to urinate, start to go and then stop. Feel the muscles in your vagina (for women), bladder, or anus get tight and move up. These are the pelvic floor muscles. If you feel them tighten, you've done the exercise right.
If you still are not sure you are tightening the right muscles:
Once you know what the movement feels like, do Kegel exercises three times a day:
Breathe deeply, and relax your body when you are doing these exercises. Make sure you are not tightening your stomach, thigh, buttock, or chest muscles.
After 4 to 6 weeks, you should feel better and have fewer symptoms. Keep doing the exercises, but do not increase how many you do. Overdoing it can lead to straining when you urinate or move your bowels.

International Trigeminal Neuralgia Awareness Day
Created and Sponsor by TNnME(TrigeminalNeuralgia and Me)
We're asking theWorld Health Organization (WHO): To take action onTrigeminal Neuralgia, ALL Neuralgia (aka "TN" "Suicide Disease") &Facial Pain Disorders!
Please add Trigeminal Neuralgia to the "Health Topics" list.
By adding Trigeminal Neuralgia to your health topic list this will also open doors for all neuralgia and facial pain disorders!
It will create awareness, access to resources and create opportunities for funding & research.
is...characterized by episodes of intense pain in the face originating from the
Trigeminal Nerve. The pain felt is the most excruciating known to man, Hence
why it is called the "Suicide Disease".
This condition is so rare that only 1 in 20,000 people have it. But that number
could be higher due to misdiagnosis. Women than man are more likely to be
effected. Usually those older than 50 are diagnosed, but you can have it as
young as 3 yrs old!
People signing this petition are supportingOct. 7th as the official International Awareness Dayfor Trigeminal Neuralgia and Facial Pain Disorders.
We must inform people of what TN is, it's characteristic, symptoms & treatments.
Joining our voices together, we can be heard around the world!
NO $$ needed for your signature on this petition just your name, email address, then hit the "Sign Now" button and close out.
Support Trigeminal Neuralgia & Facial Disorders by spreading Awareness!
http://www.fpa-support.org/for online facial pain support
The International TN Awareness Ribbon is available for your purchase, with funds going to the above Facial Pain Association and the below Facing Facial Pain Research Foundation to do research for a CURE.

I suffer from Atypical Trigeminal Neuralgia. My mother and my great-grandmother suffered from Type I Trigeminal Neuralgia.
There is a serious lack of knowledge in the medical community about this disorder, especially in the dental field, which is the first line of defense. Many sufferers end up in the dental chair and under go many unnecessary and expensive procedures only to be left in more pain and with no answers. -
Colleen Sedora
Supporting JJ!!!!! Please sign and get the recognition and the necessary support and awareness for all TN patients.
Kathy Zabaneh
More awareness will hopefully bring more research which may help many of us who could use hope for a cure.

For a software developer, the idea of a library is quite simple: It is a file containing a [typically large] number of functions/procedures/subroutines in a special format. At link time, the linker looks in the library [or there may well be more than one, in which case it checks each in turn] to resolve any references to functions not satisfied by the supplied object modules.

Thales and Mentor Graphics Halve Time-to-Productivity for New Design Engineers
NEWBURY, United Kingdom, May 28, 2008 - Mentor Graphics Corporation (NASDAQ: MENT) and Thales UK's engineering and process management (EPM) business have developed an integrated tool and methodology training course which halves the time-to-productivity for new engineers. Thales estimates that up to a hundred engineers could be trained this way over the coming year.
Previously, Thales' Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) design engineers received three separate training courses. Mentor Graphics worked with Thales to create a training course that would integrate Hardware Description Language (HDL) theory, tool application and familiarization with Thales' in-house methodology. Whereas it typically took six months for a new recruit to undertake the three courses it should now take a maximum of three months and by combining the courses the number of training hours is reduced by 40%.
Thales UK's optronics business in Glasgow has successfully piloted the course, and it will now be extended to the Staines and Bury St Edmunds sites, then two further sites from the land and joint systems business, Crawley and Wells. It will be made available to the rest of Thales UK's sites and discussions are underway to provide the course across other European sites via Thales' France-based EPM team.
Instead of off-the-shelf tool training a combined team from Mentor Graphics Education Services and Thales' EPM business jointly deliver the bespoke course for Thales engineers. The EPM business maintains a range of 'Workbenches', workflows accessed through a Thales-developed Graphical User Interface (GUI). In the case of the FPGA Workbench this contains tools from Mentor Graphics, including the HDL Designer™ tool, the ModelSim® tool, and the Precision® Synthesis tool. The GUI guides engineers to follow Thales design rules, configuration and library management conventions and other aspects of best practice and standardisation such as DO254.
Thales has a major graduate recruitment programme underway and the course will be an important part of the induction process, but it is also intended as a refresher for existing Thales engineers adopting FPGA Workbench. The new course will accelerate the rollout of FPGA Workbench across Thales sites, since the Workbench methodology will be imparted at the same time as tool training, generating the following benefits:
- New engineers will be productive sooner
- Better engineering resource management by enabling existing engineers to swap between projects more easily
- Encourage wider use of newer techniques, e.g. assertions, self-checking testbenches
- Cut verification time by reducing bugs through standardizing best practice
- Enhanced overall management as Workbench generates live project metrics
- Reduction in training costs
Andrew Parmley, head of electronics at Thales UK's optronics business, says: "Integrating company-specific methodology instruction with tool training is a no-brainer decision. It gets engineers productive quickly, cuts training administration and allows us to standardize best practice so that engineers can move easily between projects to put design resources where they are needed."
Adrian Buckley, General Manager of Mentor Graphics Western Europe, comments: "Our investment in this partnership approach to bespoke training makes sense because our aim is to deliver solid business outcomes for our user base. This is a transferable approach to training which we are also able to offer to other customers."

Culture Connect Featured Event
The next production at the award-winning Hole in the Wall Theater (HITW) in New Britain, Connecticut, is a trio of original one-acts by local playwright (Windsor), Bill Arnold. The collection, For Those In Peril On The Sea, gets its title from the common element the plays share: boats. The commonality ends there, though, as the "boats" run the gamut from a small fishing boat shared by two good friends to the galley of a large ship to the Titanic.
Deckchairs tells the story of Albert Swanson who works on the Titanic and has a very important job – deckchair management. As things go terribly wrong for the Titanic, Swanson's job becomes paramount; arrange those deckchairs! To help him with this gargantuan task, Swanson enlists the help of an eclectic mix of shipmates and a royal passenger.

George Ouzounian, the internet sensation behind the best page in the universe (the name of the site no less) has finally dragged his hairy knuckles across a keyboard to provide us with a new york bestsellers topping book dedicated to what really makes men manly.The book (or is that life manual) is subdivided into 26 chapters from A for 'Ass-kicking' to Z for 'Zombies' telling every real, self respecting, chauvanistic man the rules they need to abide by to avoid letting the side down.So embark on a magic adventure from S for 'Sneaking a peek' to V for 'Violence' and F for 'Female wrestling' and come out on the other end as a less respectable but much better man...If all of this still doesn't get your blood boiling and your skin itching for this book then maybe this quote from Maddox's mother might:"I didn't raise you like this. Why are you like this? Your father's not like this either. This is terrible!"It really is that good :0)

The GEM Technology for the SBS at Jefferson Lab
F. Noto[1], V. Bellini[1], E. Cisbani[2], and C. Sutera[1][1]INFN Sez. di catania, Università di Catania, Italy
[2]INFN Sez. Roma, Italy
The Gas Electron Multiplier (GEM) technology has proven to tolerate rate up to 50 MHz/cm2 without noticeable aging and to provide the required resolution on working chambers up to 33x33 cm2. The SBS GEM chambers have been designed in a modular way: each chamber consists of 3 adjacent GEM modules. Each GEM module has an active area of 40x50 cm2, which 2 represent the current standard double mask GEM technology limit. The design of the module using COMSOL has optimized the active area, surrounded by a tiny 8 mm width mechanical frame of Permaglas™ which embeds the protection resistors that distribute the high voltage to the GEM foils and includes the gas inlet-outlet pipes. In order to safely guarantee the required tracking performance, an additional 2D small plane of high resolution silicon detector is planned to be placed before the SBS dipole.

Talking to kids about cancer
This is often the first question I'm asked by a parent with a new cancer diagnosis. One of the most important things for parents to remember is that they know their children better than anyone else and they love them more than anyone…they can trust themselves to do this well.
Beyond that general reassurance, however, there are some practical tips for talking with children about a cancer diagnosis.
Prepare for the conversation
Think about your goals for the conversation. What does your child need to know? How you can help your child understand what's going on? How do you want your child to feel after the talk? Who should tell your child you have cancer and can the person talking to your child stay relatively calm?
When and where should I have this conversation? You don't have to wait until you have all the answers. Be prepared to ...

Helping kids heal with music and technology
With her back turned, the little girl doesn't notice a young man entering the room. He is holding a tool, one of which the full power and potential is still unknown to most. Even though he has witnessed its abilities before, what happens next still takes even him by surprise.
Not knowing what to say, he says nothing at all. He lifts his instrument and strikes the first chord. The girl stops. He continues to play. The girl turns and slides to the floor. The young man sinks to his knees, the same level as the girl. Strumming his ukulele the young man begins to sing. The little girl begins to scoot herself across the floor, 20 feet to where the young man kneels, closer and closer until her knees touch his.
There are gasps coming from the doorway, as a handful of hospital staff and nurses witness to an amazing transformation. In a flip of a switch, the little girl went from utter anxiety to calm and happy, soothed by the sound of music. As the young man finishes his song, the little girl smiles, reaches out her hand to touch his, then falls back, smiling and laughing.
This is the story of Melodic Caring Project Founder, Levi Ware, on his most recent visit to provide live music to pediatric patients at Swedish First Hill.
"I've been playing music for a long time and I've seen a lot of amazing things happen when music is introduced into certain situations. What happened on the Pediatric Unit at Swedish was one of the most wonderful, beautiful and undeniably powerful music experiences I've had. ...
Think about injury prevention when returning to baseball season
It is important that our kids return safely to help prevent overuse injuries from occurring during the season. Common overuse injuries in baseball are injuries to the elbow (ulnar collateral ligament, UCL) and shoulder in the throwing arm. A proper warm up, maintaining an age appropriate pitch count and good throwing mechanics are essential to preventing overuse injuries.
Here are some specifics to keep in mind:
New Washington State Law to Help Children with Food Allergies
It is with great happiness that I update an earlier blog posted several months ago with the news that patients with food allergies now have a law that helps them afford their treatment. On Friday March 28th, Governor Jay Inslee signed a law that makes Washington the most recent state in the country to set a mandate for medical coverage of elemental formulas in the treatment of Eosinophilic GI disorders (EGIDs). EGIDs are a severe form of gastrointestinal inflammation that results from food allergy.
New nutrition labels, same healthy eating advice
We all know that as a nation, we are getting bigger and heavier. Worse still, our future - our children- are becoming obese and unhealthy at increasingly younger ages. For decades, the scourge of obesity was blamed on a high calorie, high fat diet. Turns out, we have probably been doing it wrong all these years and our bulging waistline attests to this colossal failure. Research and the medical community now have increasing evidence that the real villain of the story is a very sweet little molecule called fructose. Fructose is what gives us the sweetness in table sugar (sucrose)…also in brown sugar, honey, agave, and of course, high fructose corn syrup. Call it by any name, but sugars are dangerous to our health. Fructose is addictive, much in the same way as alcohol and illicit drugs are. In fact, sugar (fructose) metabolism closely replicates alcohol metabolism except for the acute effects on brain. Sugar has been likened to alcohol without the buzz!
You may already have heard about First Lady Michelle Obama's work with the FDA which has led to newly proposed changes to nutrition labels on packaged foods. The amount of sugars, specifically, "added sugars" will be part of that new label. I am not implying that a zero added sugar diet will be the panacea for the pandemic of obesity and ill health. We still need to eat healthy and exercise right. There is no magic pill, no startling new advice. Remember what our grandmothers used to say:

Featured Article
Today we spoke to a few panelists that will be gathering at the Cross Street AME Zion Church in Middletown tomorrow to talk about the State of Black Connecticut. Many different groups of people in Connecticut are being affected - but today we focused on African Americans... who have almost double the unemployment rate of the rest of the state. We talked about economic factors and how the state of our education (and abysmal acheivement gap) perpetuate the problem.
We had a few comments after the show. Noel sent us an email:
It's been only 45 years since the Civil Rights Act, and the generation that tenaciously held on to segregation and the residual racism is alive and well. Certainly their values were passed on to their children. I''m from SC and have observed that racism is more subtle in the north but just as vicious and discriminatory in the social, political and educational context. African Americans are the only group in all of human history that was released from 400 years of slavery without any compensation -a golden opportunity missed to aide people to restoration and dignity. The 40 acres and a mule was a broken promise.
The fact of the matter is that the African American problem is everybody's problem. We can relocate, isolate and stigmatize, but in the wisdom of ML King, Jr, "We are all caught in an inescapble network of mutuality tied to a single garment of destiny, and whatever affects one directly affects all indirectly.
And Sara left a comment on Facebook:
I would love to see an honest dialog on race, however my feeling is that many white people will choose not to participate if they feel they will be chastised for their opinions if they are contrary to popular "anti-racism" beliefs.
