Memories - Part 9
SpoilerI woke up on my cot in my cell. My entire body ached. I had never been in this much pain before. My shoulder was still on fire, and I could barely move my limbs. After a few tries, I managed to get into a sitting position. Then came the challenge of standing.
Once that was accomplished, I walked to my door and looked out the little opening. Nothing was going on in the hall. I walked back to my cot, sat down, and lowered my head, feeling thoroughly miserable.
Nothing happened that day. Not sure why. Maybe they wanted whatever they injected us with to sit and grow or something. I found myself feeling my new scars on my shoulder a few times. The area was still tender, but nothing compared to the day before.
I also noticed something else. It took me a while, but I felt...it's hard to explain. It felt like I had way more energy than I should or something. I mean, I'd gone my whole life knowing the limits of my abilities. And now...now, it's like I had just discovered them for the first time. I felt so much potential energy. It was...odd...scary...and exhilarating.
The day passed, I went to sleep feeling a little better. Much less sore, at least. The next day came with my door being slammed open and soldier dragging me up and out of the room. All of us were being taken together this time. They brought us into a room of similar size and design to the one we were in when they gave us the injections. Several people were here with all sort of equipment. No tables this time, which I took as a good sign. Wasn't sure if I was right, but I was willing to take my chances on that. I'd look for any good sign at that point. Silver lining and what not.
The head doctor was here again, and once we were lined up, he started his obviously rehearsed speech.
"Ladies and gentlemen, today we will demonstrate that the chemicals injected previously have in fact enhanced the abilities of all the subjects."
Great. We're freaking show dogs now. I would have said something sarcastic, but I figured that'd earn some kind of punishment I wouldn't want.
"Our first test will be with subject number 5641." The guards grabbed the Shadow guy, Selvik, by the shoulders and maneuvered him forward towards the middle of the room. As the doctor talks about the normal limits of Shadow abilities, Selvik was hooked up with various nodes. Probably to measure his heart rate and stuff. He seemed cautious, but not scared. Course, he was probably freaking out. Who knew what they were going to do.
Finally, they blindfolded him. Which made me nervous. Then the doctor grabbed what looked like a baseball. "With his abilities enhanced, subject 5641 has gained the capability to sense an objects presence by its shadow."
And then, without any warning, the doctor threw the ball at Selvik's head.
To my surprise, Selvik moved. He turned and stepped to his right, dodging the ball. It hit the wall behind him with a thud. The doctor seemed pleased. Selvik seemed mildly surprised. His head was pointed at the ball, like he could actually see it. The doctor waved to get Selvik's attention, and Selvik responded by looking at the man. Again, surprise crossed his face.
One by one, we were each brought forward and put on display. And everybody's abilities were beyond the normal range. It surprised me.
"And last, we have subject number 0388, the Kintetic Base." I was brought forward and hooked to the sensors. Like Selvik, I was blindfolded. I started to get really nervous, and tried not to shake.
"Subject 0388 is capable of sensing motion around her, similar to subject 5641's sense of shadows."
I knew what was coming. I felt my body tense up. Nobody went over with me how to use these new abilities I supposedly had. I was gonna get clocked in the head. I was going to fail this demonstration. They would probably have me killed after that. Killed cause I couldn't use abilities I didn't know I had.
Snap out of it, Zel. You're not gonna die. You refuse. You won't let some stupid *******s dictate when your time on this planet ends. You. Will. Not. Die.
And that's when I felt it. I felt things around me. Like when somebody brushes against you. You can just feel it, just enough to get your nerves responding. I felt that all around me. Like I was everywhere in the room, and everything was brushing against me. Except one object. It wasn't just casually going by me. It was ripping by, on a crash course. Aimed for my face.
I reacted without thinking. But not like Selvik did. Instead of dodging, I swung my hand in a sideways swipe in front of me. I felt the ball get hit by my force, then get deflected off course. It kept moving until I heard the thump of a hard object hitting flesh, immediately followed by a cry of pain. From the voice, it sounded like I just hit one of the guards with the ball.
Everything was frozen for a moment. Then, before I knew it, there was a bunch of shouting, and I was thrown to the floor. I cried out as I felt my nose break from the force of it. Felt like at least two of the guards were on my back, with a third on my legs. I was completely pinned, and the weight of the guards on me made it hard to breath. Through my short cries of pain, I took labored breaths, not wanting to pass out. The doctor kept talking like nothing was happening. Mentioned something about starting the next phase tomorrow. Eventually, the guards got off me. I got in one good breath before I was yanked up and carried out. I was tossed back into my cell.
I spent the rest of the day in my cell, wondering why I did that. I knew I should've dodged. That would've been the safer, smarter option. So, why did I deflect it? And at a guard? Did I know the guard was there? I couldn't remember that well. I probably did.
And what did I experience then? I didn't even know that was possible. It was...it was wonderful, really. To be able to sense all the motion around me. It was such a wonderful feeling. Like I was connected to everything. I kept trying to do it again. But, I had difficulties.
I went to sleep wondering what this "next phase" had in store for us.

A's get mixed news on injury front
Duchscherer may be able to pitch; Ellis heads for MRI
DETROIT -- It was a bit of a good-news, bad-news day for the A's in regards to injuries, but given the team's recent history in that area, any day that includes even a little bit of good news is a great day.
The good news is that All-Star right-hander Justin Duchscherer, who hasn't pitched since leaving an Aug. 18 game in Minnesota with soreness in his surgically repaired right hip, was told by his Tennessee-based surgeon that pitching again this year isn't out of the question.
The bad news is that second baseman Mark Ellis, who has played in just two games since injuring his right shoulder in that same August series against the Twins, left the team Sunday to fly back to the Bay Area for an MRI.
"He's been feeling better, but he felt like he'd reached a plateau," A's manager Bob Geren said of Ellis on Monday before the scheduled opener of a three-game series against the host Tigers at Comerica Park. "So he flew back home from Baltimore to get looked at again. ... He wants to play."
Whether Ellis or even Duchscherer will play again this season won't be determined for at least a few days. Ellis' MRI will determine the next step for him, and Duchscherer's visit with A's orthopedist Dr. John Frazier will do the same.
Geren said Duchscherer was scheduled to visit with Frazier on Monday in the Bay Area.
Why would the A's would risk putting Duchscherer, their only accomplished starter, back on the mound during the final few weeks of what's become a lost season from a competitive standpoint? Geren suggested that returning to action could do wonders for Duchscherer's peace of mind.
"It's always good when a guy can come back and pitch, so he knows where he is going into the offseason," the skipper said.

KNOXVILLE (UT Sports) - Madison Shipman had a two-run homer and drove in three and Ivy Renfroe fanned five over seven shutout innings as Tennessee punched its sixth trip to the NCAA Super Regionals with a 7-0 win over NC State on Sunday in Game 6 of the Knoxville Regional.
The Lady Vols (47-10) will now face Alabama in the Supers next weekend at Lee Stadium while NC State finishes its season with a 35-20-1 record after making its first NCAA appearance since 2007.
Renfroe helped Tennessee to its third shutout over the weekend as she and sister Ellen Renfroe combined to not let up a run so far in the NCAA Tournament.
Shipman finished the game 3-for-4 with a double and a home run while Ivy Renfroe let up just one hit on the day, a single up the middle to Lana Van Dyken in the third inning.
Tennessee scored two in the first, two in the second and three in the fourth and controlled the game from start to finish in the victory.

It's early, but it appears that Erik Spoelstra made a very good decision to start Chris Bosh at center with Shane Battier, rather than Udonis Haslem. Bosh's presence has opened up the floor for the Heat offensively, which has been huge for Dwyane Wade in particular. Wade already has one layup on a pick and roll and nearly got another after a strong basket cut.
Wade's making a concerted effort to use the open space, but it's critical that the open space be there. It wasn't in Game 1.
Other early observations:
-LeBron James is on Kevin Durant, and so far, the Heat are asking him to fight through every screen. No more switching. Save for one Durant jumper in transition, James has done a great job.
-Really liked the transition pick and roll between James and Wade that got James a layup. Need to see more of that.
-The Heat aren't trapping Durant coming off curls, which is a departure from their normal strategy.
-Kendrick Perkins has been very good inside, grabbing offensive rebounds with Battier guarding him. Given how much the Heat have gained elsewhere by going small, though, I think they'll live with that.

By Tony Viola, Staff Writer
On Feb. 9, 2012 Alex Falk scored 12 points in West Liberty's 105-84 win against Pitt-Johnstown to become the 40th Hilltopper to surpass 1,000 career points.
"It feels great," Falk said. "It's a great honor to be a part of that group. The most important thing is the wins we've racked up the past three years I've been here.
He added, "As a team we've played really well and that is what's most important to me."
The only returning starter from last year's 33-1 Elite Eight squad, Falk currently has 1,069 points in his college career and has passed 2011 All-American Jordan Fortney for 36th place on the WLU career scoring list.
But the native of Sandusky, Ohio says accomplishing this feat wasn't all that important to him.
"Not really. The main focus for me this year was to win the conference championship and the tournament championship then the national championship. Those were my main goals."
With the Hilltoppers' (25-1, 20-0) 107-73 win over Alderson-Broaddus on Feb. 13, West Liberty clinched its third consecutive WVIAC Title, achieving Falk's first goal.
"It's huge to me. You can't take something like that for granted. There's a bunch of good players and teams in this league and for us to do it three times in a row, it's pretty impressive."
The 6-4 guard currently ranks eighth in the nation in steals and arguably had his best collegiate game on Jan. 21 in an 89-76 win against West Virginia Wesleyan.
The junior had career-highs with 32 points and seven steals while going 10-11 from the line.
The performance earned him his third WVIAC Player of the Week award for the season.
"Alex is just the ultimate battler," coach Jim Crutchfield said. "He's in there always fighting for the ball and position.
"We bank on him. He's the most experienced player in our program. We look to him to change a game's complexion, and he usually does."
In last week's wins against A-B, West Virginia State and Glenville State, Falk averaged 20 points and five assists per contest.
"Honestly none of us really pay attention to our points. It's all about the effort we put in on the offensive and defensive ends, the team work we have and the wins we come out with.
"I just give it my all on the court everyday and in life, too. Whether it's in school or in life, I just give it everything I can. And that carries onto the court."
Giving it his all has always been Falk's criteria.
In high school he was only one of 38 players in Ohio High School history to score more than 2,000 points in his career.
After his senior year, he was selected to All-Ohio second team in Division II.
Falk and the rest of his Hilltopper teammates traveled to Wheeling Feb. 22 to take on arch rival Wheeling Jesuit (18-8, 14-6).
Tipoff was at 7:30.

If you pull Buster Posey and the Giants out of 2013 and place them gently in, say, 2007, then the idea of a "mega-deal" for a first-year arbitration player might look a little different. Back then, Joe Mauer was Buster Posey -- beloved by his team's fans, incredibly productive, and a catcher who hit well enough to play elsewhere on the diamond. To avoid arbitration with their greatest asset, the Twins signed Mauer to a four-year, $33 million contract.
While that was great in the short term for both the Twins and Mauer, in the long run, it resulted in both parties negotiating a new deal at the start of 2010 to keep him from becoming a free agent after the season. These negotiations turned into an eight-year, $184 million contract. Unlike the initial 2007 deal, when Mauer had years to go before he was to become a free agent, 2010 was the end of the line for him in a Twins uniform lest he sign. Leverage shifted towards Mauer, resulting in a significantly longer and more lucrative deal. The contract that resulted was not only the fourth-largest for any player at the time it was inked, but also the largest ever for a backstop.
Now, with the news that Posey and the Giants are discussing a huge contract extension, there is a legitimate chance Mauer's deal could be left in the dust. Posey is already set to make $8 million in arbitration this year, so when you combine that with the fact the words "mega-deal" are being used, it's hard to imagine him signing a contract that simply puts him through his arb years and a year of free agency, a la Mauer. Instead, it's likely the two sides are going to cut straight to the heart of the matter and make Posey as rich as he'll ever need to be in one fell swoop.
That $8 million doesn't just represent Posey's present-day value to the Giants, as a first-year arbitration player. It's also projecting what his future value would be. Generally speaking, first-year arbitration-eligible players will pull in about 40 percent of their expected free agent value. Second-year players tend to come in around 60 percent, and third-year players, 80 percent. Things can fluctuate, of course: Jacoby Ellsbury and Chase Headley are two recent examples of players that didn't break out until already in their arbitration years. Posey has already matured into the player we can expect to see from now on, so his projected free agent value is likely close to finalized.
Using the above, $8 million is 40 percent of $20 million -- if Posey and the Giants have agreed on his free agent value at about $20 million per year, and he signs for anything approaching a decade, he could surpass Mauer's record-setting deal. That might not be wise, just as it wasn't for Mauer -- catchers have a hard life, and Posey has already had major ankle surgery thanks to a well-publicized collision at the plate. If he has to become a first baseman down the line, the expectations for production at his price would also change.
That being said, as our resident Giants' blogger Grant Brisbee points out, the Giants have won two World Series with Barry Zito's contract hanging around their necks like a $126 million weight. They have the budget to compensate for Posey decline in the long-term future, especially at the expense of guaranteeing he sticks around in the short-term future. That concept goes double when you consider just how much money is in the game because of the new obsession with enormous, decade-spanning television contracts, both in terms of how much the Giants could afford him, and how much their competitors -- like the spend-happy Dodgers --could as well.
We'll have to wait to see what kind of numbers and years the two sides work out -- the latter is of more concern than the former -- before condemning or praising the Giants for their actions. Chances are good, though, given the way the baseball economy is working these days, that San Francisco should be able to survive their own rush to lock up Posey even if things go south eventually.

FOX 26 Sports has learned officials of the Texas Bowl, formerly known as the Meineke Car Care Bowl of Texas, are expected to announce on Monday that beginning in 2014 the game will feature teams from the Big 12 and the SEC at Reliant Stadium.
FOX 26 Sports reported on June 25 that the Texas Bowl was moving in that direction.
Currently the game involves teams from the Big 12 and the Big Ten.
However, with the Big Ten headed in a different direction, the move opened the door for the Texas Bowl to seek the attractive scenario of teams from the Big 12 taking on the SEC.
The contracts with the Texas Bowl for the Big 12 and the Big Ten expire following the 2013 season.
Officials from the Texas Bowl have not been available for comment, and that includes Jamey Rootes, president of the Houston Texans, which is closely associated with Lone Star Sports and entertainment, a third-party event marketing company which manages the Texas Bowl.
In June Rootes would not confirm the Texas Bowl's potential tie-in at the time with the SEC.
However, he did express optimism that the Big 12 would continue its relationship with the Texas Bowl.
"The fans in this area gravitate more directly to the conferences that are most proximate and look forward to having that announcement here in the near term," Rootes said on June 25.
"The Big 12 has been an anchor partner from the beginning of the bowl game and we continue to have our discussions with them and that relationship is great. When we announce it, it will be very exciting for Houston. It will be a long-term great place for the bowl game to be."
Rootes said then with Meineke Car Care opting out of its naming-rights deal, Texas Bowl officials are working with ESPN to identify their long-term title partner for the bowl game.
ESPN owns the Texas Bowl.

Romo in WSGA event
Romo is playing a little golf. Yesterday he tied for the lead in the qualifying round. Today is some match play and he took care of business in round 1. I don' t know much about golf...but the title link is the leader board in bracket style so its easier for me to follow that way. [Update] Romo lost in the second round.

I was picked up at "Clayton Wood" by Ken and Janet who took me out to see Trentham Gardens, which they said was a very nice spot. They were correct. I took pictures. Here they are:
|There was a lake...
|...and daffodils for days (again, for all you daffodil people)...
|...and chickens
After our journey to the gardens, Ken and Janet took me to "tea" (where nobody actually drank tea) at an American restaurant. After that it was back to the Tollgate for the night where I will pack up and prepare for my 5:55 AM departure from Manchester tomorrow morning.
This has been an amazing trip. The time has absolutely flown by. I can't believe I am done and will be coming back home tomorrow. I don't know how to thank everyone who helped make it happen. Thank you Mike and Ray for putting it together. I would like to thank everyone at Stoke City for allowing me to come and for treating me just like anyone else at the club. I would also like to thank Ken and Janet for being complete saints and helping me with essentially anything I needed. You guys were amazing.
From a soccer perspective, the trip has been extraordinary. I have learned a ton, I have had a blast, and I have gotten to test myself against some excellent competition. I have gotten to go to a number of games in some excellent environments. I got a chance to meet Gordan Banks. I have worked out alongside some of the world's best players. However, most importantly, I have been able to really determine what I need to work on as a player. I came over here sort of unsure of what my weaknesses were. I knew I had them but I wasn't sure what they truly were and I hoped they would become clearer over these two weeks. Playing against this kind of competition on a daily basis has pointed me in the right direction in terms of what I need to do to improve and hopefully reach that next level.
Outside of soccer, the trip has been awesome as well. I have been able to travel all over what really is a very pretty country. I was able to visit one of the world's most cosmopolitan cities in London. I have gotten to meet all sorts of wonderful people who have all been very, very nice. Additionally, unlike when Whitman came as a team, (which was very fun and doing that trip with my teammates and schoolmates was great) I have been able to completely immerse myself in the English culture.
I would also like to thank you guys for reading this. I hope you have enjoyed following along with my journey.
I am sad my trip is ending, but all good things must come to an end and I am looking forward to seeing everyone back home. And with that, for the final time on this blog, I say goodbye.

It's free, unlimited, secure, and was designed for "fast file transfer: between users and machines; between editors and collaborators." Hit the jump to learn more: More »
Back Up Your Data from Evernote, Google Drive, Dropbox and Other Cloud-Based Apps with CloudHQ
If I haven't mentioned it yet, I basically live my life through Evernote. I discovered it in late 2011 and it changed my workflow for not only taking notes, but my entire writing process. Organizing ideas has become a whole different game, one that for me has increased my productivity tenfold. If you met me at party, Evernote and my advocation of its use would undoubtedly end up in our conversation. With Evernote's recent security scare, it made me realize: I don't actually even have files on my computer anymore — they're all in the cloud. Well, what if the cloud goes down? I scrambled to find a solution to create a redundant backup of my Evernote files (i.e. all the notes on a screenplay I'm writing, audio interviews, photo references, etc) and I discovered cloudHQ.

The Black List's Paid Screenplay Service Reveals Key Data from First Month
A month ago, when the Black List launched its new paid screenplay service to provide aspiring screenwriters with access to industry professionals, I had some concerns. After hearing Franklin Leonard discuss the service in more detail with John August and Craig Mazin on their ScriptNotes podcast, I was more encouraged, but still not sold 100%. More specifically, I voiced my hope that Leonard and his team at The Black List would not only share successes of the service, but would also provide statistics about the service that would provide aspiring screenwriters with data they could use to make informed decisions about paying for this new service. I'm happy to report that on the heels of sharing its first success story, The Black List has done almost exactly what I asked. More »
RAW 1080p is Coming with the Blackmagic Cinema Camera, but Can You Afford the Hard Drives?
By now many of you may be familiar with the Blackmagic Cinema Camera – it made a splash at this year's NAB show in Las Vegas. There wasn't a person I talked to that wasn't excited to know more about this tiny little RAW-shooting 1080p camera. Thankfully, the camera shoots more than RAW video, as it can also shoot slightly compressed DNxHD and ProRes — but what if you do want to shoot RAW? Just like with DSLRs, most of the RAW video available in higher-end cameras is slightly compressed, as bitrates can exceed bandwidth. To keep costs down, the RAW in the BMCC is completely uncompressed RAW video, which means, you're getting bit for bit everything that is coming out of the A/D convertor (which takes the information from the sensor and translates it into digital values). We've talked a bit about increased disk space requirements, but rarely about affordability. The trend for most technology is to get cheaper over the long term — but that's not exactly happening with hard drives for a number of reasons. More »
A Beginner's Guide to Backing Up Footage and How 'Toy Story 2' Almost Disappeared Forever
Ever lost important footage because your backups failed, or maybe you didn't back up at all? Well how about losing an entire feature film and a year's worth of work? While this isn't a new story, as it was featured in the special features on the DVD, the tale of the failed Toy Story 2 backup is fascinating. It just proves that even when you're spending millions of dollars, a few mistakes can be disastrous. More »
Some Good Tips for Data Wrangling On a Budget
Evan Luzi, who runs the camera assistant blog The Black and Blue (and who also wrote a guest post here on NFS), takes a look at the crucial but unheralded position of data wrangler. The data wrangler is the person on set who is responsible for making sure that what gets recorded on camera makes it back to the editor without any data loss or corruption. This is not an action-packed video, but if you might find yourself doing work in this position it's a nice and informative behind-the-scenes commentary. There, I warned you: I don't want to hear any comments of "this was boring!" Hmm, that wasn't a very good front page teaser. Well, check it out anyway: More »
'Cinemetrics' Creates Intriguing Motion Graphs of Entire Feature Films
I love analytics, so it should no surprise that I find this project intriguing. Cinemetrics, a graduate project at the Royal Academy of Arts (KABK) by Frederic Brodbeck, captures an entire feature film and displays it as a moving, circular graph. Frederic describes the project as "an experiment to find out if the data that is inherent in the movie can be used to make something visible that otherwise would remain unnoticed," and I find that to be the case. One observation: Steven Soderbergh's remake of Tarkovsky's Solaris is the rare remake that has less motion than the original. Here's a video of Cinemetrics in action: More »

yesterday I got a bad review saying that my app does not install on Nokia 5800 XpressMusic. Because I don't own a phone that can download Qt apps from Ovi Store (even thou they work fine for development, like N86 8MP ???) I would be very happy if someone could download and install my free app and report if the installation was successful or not and on what phone. I'm a standalone developer and own 1 Nokia phone ... my friends ... well don't own any of the few models that support Ovi Store Qt downloads and asking you seems to be the fastest way to try many different phones. Or am I just very naive?

"A player who makes a team great is more valuable than a great player. Losing yourself in the group, for the good of the group, that's teamwork."
John Wooden
The preseason is the time when teammates get reacquainted, preposterous trade rumors make their rounds, the Washington Wizards look like they finally have things together, and fans everywhere fall in love with semi-coordinated big men. The preseason is also the time when the coaching staffs and front offices evaluate players to see whether they should be added to the roster. Evaluating NBA prospects is like being an archeologist and/or gameshow contestant: you plan and you study and you strategize, then when the time comes you go out there and just hope you're lucky. Consequently, the NBA landscape is littered with players who were scouted poorly and entered the league either grossly over- or under-rated. Not only do the Jazz need to figure out which players are good and which are not, they also need to make the more important (and difficult) determination of which players would best contribute to the team's success.
At my regular pickup basketball game, the task of making teams falls to the person who organized the game in the first place… me. While performing this all-important function a couple weeks ago, I unthinkingly put all the good passers on one team and all the ball-hogs on the other. Even though we passers were theoretically outmanned, I can assured you we absolutely annihilated them. We were cutting without the ball, setting down screens, executing pinch posts, and always making the extra pass. The results proved more lopsided than pretty much any arrangement we had ever tried, but I didn't care because it was so beautiful to behold. For one day, competitive balance took a backseat to quality of play. (Besides, if they actually wanted to win all they had to do was share the rock; we would have stood no chance.)
In a recent survey of NBA General Managers, Jerry Sloan was named the coach that runs the best offense. If you're the type of person who reads fanposts on SLC Dunk, I probably don't need to wax on to you about the Flex Offense any more than Steve Jobs needs to convince a roomful of Apple fanboys to drop a few Gs on a beta iGizmo. We wouldn't be here if we didn't already "get it".
The thing with Coach Sloan's system, though, is that it's not for everyone. It doesn't reward players who hog the ball; it requires men how to execute pinch posts and are willing to cut without the ball. I fully expect Jeremy Evans to one day be a valuable NBA player. I just don't know whether it will ever be for the Jazz. Not only has Sundiatta Gaines already developed into an NBA-caliber point guard, and the man posts solid numbers in garbage time. Does that mean the Jazz would be better off keeping him than Ryan Thompson?
Coach Sloan makes very heavy demands on his players, and expects them to be up to the challenge both on the court and between the ears. He may not be Full Metal Jacket's Sergeant Hartman (especially lately), but he runs a tight ship and he has no time for players who won't get on board. Xavier Henry might turn into a stud, but there was no way the team was going to choose him over someone with Gordon Hayward's basketball IQ.
As the preseason wears on, let's be attentive as fans not only to whether a given player is NBA material but also to whether he is Jazz material. As tough as it may be to part ways with someone who clearly demonstrates NBA talent, the Jazz can't be content merely to assemble good players. I saw it at the local rec center and we all saw it in the Denver series: playing together matters a lot more than playing well. And should they find that magical combination of good coaching, good players, and of course good luck… just maybe this newly overhauled Jazz team can learn to play well together.

Paper Flower Tutorial Link
Flat center
You might remember when I blogged about Brittany's beautiful wedding here.
I was so inspired by her amazing oversized paper flowers, that I knew I had to use them for something!
She was kind enough to post a tutorial for everyone.
(and be sure to check out her Royal Wedding souvenirs!)
Thanks Brittany!
I used paper from Paper Source. They have great colors and their square paper was a good size.
I fit one petal per square sheet.
I hadn't read through the tutorial until after I bought my supplies, and I wish I would have bought more paper - I only had enough for 5 petals for each flower, and I think the recommended 6-7 would look better.
My addition was one more fringed circle in some of the flowers.
I liked the mix of flat centers and fringed centers.
Follow Brittany's instructions for the first two fringed circles.
Make a third smaller circle and cut the fring close to the middle.
Make one larger cut and cross over gluing about an inch in.
Curl or crinkle your fringe,
Glue in the center of flower.
Fringed center
These were really so fun to make and have a big impact!
I have mine up as Easter & Spring decoration.
Try and make some last minute flowers for your Easter decor.
Have a great Easter weekend!

My favorite thing to wear at work – shirt. And after taking craftsy course and learning all tricks how to make perfect shirt, also my favorite garment to sew. Though, I still get anxious when sewing buttonholes, those have to be done perfectly! :)
Apr 16, 2014, 06.42 PMby Etemi Otubu
This is beautiful. When I began sewing a few years ago, I started making a shirt. It's still waiting to be finished, and I always thought shirts are just way too much work for the little impact they make, but seeing yours makes me seriously rethink that! :)

Beautiful fabric makes a basic shirt very special! wonderful work!!

Yours is gorgeous!! What is that fabric? It's a stunner and looks beautiful on you :)

Remember Gina and Nancy?
Again, I'm starting your Saturday morning with a little get to know you session here at Meljen's Designs!
This week, I've got 2 designers to introduce you to! Both of these beautiful ladies have been guest designers with us and we are thrilled to have them as team members now!
Do you remember Gina?
Here's an adorable card from Gina, just in time for Halloween!
Using Cat-O-Lantern
"I'm the wife of a wonderful husband, mom to 2 grown daughters and grandma to 3 of the cutest kids you've ever seen. I live in a small city in SW Ontario, Canada. I have always loved crafting, especially card making."
Here is a bright happy summer card from Nancy
Using Yummy Popsicle
Nancy actually joined our team just a little before our call went out for new designers, but I wanted to make sure that she gets a proper introduction as well!
See you again next week!

This ultra modern home has a shoppers entry from a double lock up garage which is paved with engineered stone. The outside façade has feature travertine walls and the garage door is top of the range, enclosing a huge 6.2 mtre wide garage area. The guest room is at the front of the home with its king size features including, walk in robe, decorative cornices and shadowline ceiling in the ensuite.
The ensuite consists of porcelain self closing toilet, porcelain tiles to the ceiling, ultra modern tap fittings and vanity and shower. The carpet throughout the home is a wool blend and all rooms have skirtings and high ceilings. Further along the main entrance to the left you willfind a large theatre room with two glass door entry points, complete with all wiring for a full theatre set up. There is a powder room on the right again with porcelain toilet and vanity.

This topic shows you how to configure the third-party New Relic add-on to work with Azure Mobile Services to provide enhanced monitoring of your mobile service.
The tutorial guides you through the following steps:
To complete this tutorial, you must have already created a mobile service by completing either the Get started with Mobile Services or the Get started with data tutorial.
The first step is to purchase the New Relic service. This tutorial shows you how to purchase this service from the Azure Store. Mobile Services supports New Relic subscriptions purchased outside of the Azure Store.
Log in to the Azure Management Portal.
In the lower pane of the management portal, click New.
Click Store.
In the Choose an Add-on dialog, select New Relic and click Next.
In the Personalize Add-on dialog, select the New Relic plan that you want.
Enter a name for how the New Relic service will appear in your Azure settings, or use the default value NewRelic. This name must be unique in your list of subscribed Azure Store items.
Choose a value for the region; for example, West US.
Click Next.
In the Review Purchase dialog, review the plan and pricing information, and review the legal terms. If you agree to the terms, click Purchase.
After you click Purchase, your New Relic account will begin the creation process. You can monitor the status in the Azure management portal.
After you have signed-up for the New Relic service, you need to install the New Relic Node.js module in your mobile service. You must have source control enabled for your mobile service to be able to upload this module.
If you haven't already done so, follow the steps in the tutorial Store server scripts in source control to enable source control for your mobile service, clone the repository, and install the Node Package Manager (NPM).
Navigate to the .\service folder of your local Git repository, then from the command prompt run the following command:
npm install newrelic
NPM installs the New Relic module in the \newrelic subdirectory.
Open a Git command-line tool, such as GitBash (Windows) or Bash (Unix Shell) and type the following command in the Git command prompt:
$ git add .
$ git commit -m "added newrelic module"
$ git push origin master
This uploads the new newrelic module to your mobile service.
Next, you will enable New Relic monitoring of your mobile service in the Management Portal.
In the Management Portal, select your mobile service, then click the Configure tab.
Scroll down to Developer analytics and do one of the following, depending on how you purchased your New Relic subscription:
Purchased in the Azure store:
Click Add-on, select the New Relic add-on from Choose add-on, then click Save.
Purchased directly from New Relic:
Click Custom, select the New Relic from Provider, enter your key, then click Save.
The key can be obtained from your the New Relic dashboard.
After registration is complete, you will see a new value in App settings:
Run your client app to generate read, create, update, and delete requests to your mobile service.
Wait a few minutes for the data to be processed, then navigate to the New Relic dashboard.
When your New Relic subscription was purchased as an add-on, select it in the Management Portal, and click Manage.
In New Relic, click Applications, then click your mobile service.

Photo Coverage: Nellie McKay Previews A GIRL NAMED BILL at 54 Below
By Walter McBride

Photo Coverage: Nellie McKay Previews A GIRL NAMED BILL at 54 Below
Oliver Stone Says, 'End the War on Animals'April 15th, 2014
Vermont Cynic InterviewApril 9th, 2014
Musician, playwright and activist Nellie McKay is coming to the Flynn Theater April 4 as part of UVM's Lane performance series, April 4.
McKay's body of work includes several critically acclaimed albums, two original plays, acting roles both on stage and on film, stand up comedy and articles for the New York Times Book Review. The upcoming cabaret event at the Flynn will be "an evening of songs, stories and comedy," according to the Lane series website.
The Cynic recently sat down with McKay to talk about success, the National Security Administration (NSA) and being a "greedy motherfucker" in this exclusive interview.
Drama Queen: Nellie McKayFebruary 20th, 2014
Nellie McKay is a supreme stylist, with broad, substantial musical intelligence behind every single flourish. She combines heart-on-sleeve sincerity with supremely arch, dry wit; she's utterly unique, her performance style multifarious and unpredictable, drawing ideas from extremely diverse eras and genres.
Her Cafe Carlyle debut, nuttily entitled "Nellie with a Z", is as edgy as anything I've seen at that rarefied venue – she sings something about "motherfuckers" at one point – all the while displaying musical taste and restraint so impeccable you dare not take issue with her cabaret bona fides. It's 100% a solo act, just Nellie in a sophisticated, spangled dress accompanying herself on piano, and exceptionally expressive, um, ukulele (I'd go so far as to call her a virtuoso of the uke).
NYT: Where Timelessness Meets Time TravelFebruary 20th, 2014
Nellie McKay Sings Homemades and Standards at Café Carlyle
With a head full of blond curls, and wearing a glittery blouse, Nellie McKay flounced into Café Carlyle on Tuesday evening, ushering a gust of downtown freshness into this elegant uptown precinct. Ms. McKay, 31, has been a presence on the cultural scene for at least a decade. But she still wears the mystique of a willful prodigy who is smarter, more talented and hipper than everyone else: a performer who answers only to herself. Gifts that others spend years refining seem to come naturally to her.
Ms. McKay has merely to sit down at the piano, open her mouth, and out comes the sweet lilting sound of a classic pop-jazz singer, a mixture of Mildred Bailey, Billie Holiday and Doris Day, paradoxically sophisticated and girlish. There is a subtle bounce in her delivery as she lingers behind a phrase just long enough to convey a steady pulse of swing.
Her new show, "Nellie With a Z" is a 50-50 mixture of standards and original material. Because of the uncanny accuracy of her ear, she can write and sing in any style, and you can't always be certain that one of her original songs is not an obscure period piece. Her impeccable renditions of "Skylark," "Midnight Sun," "I Cover the Waterfront" and "Moon River" (in Portuguese) were dreamy and light. If you closed your eyes and listened, you were transported to the land of long ago and far away. But she also delivered an original up-to-the-minute hip-hop ditty, "Russky Rap," timed for the Winter Olympics.

PMWF 1st Half Year Contest
The Competition
Dear All
I just decided to give away another Seiko T-Shirt, I will draw a lucky winner amongst the wrong answers and amongst those entries with no answers because I appreciate all your posts!
It was on December 14th when the idea of PMWF was realized. Charles McCoy from Denver (cwm) was my first visitor and he encouraged me to keep going...and he was right...PMWF has established itself as a friendly watch forum with exciting posts every day.
This time it is not just a "Post your name contest" what would be to simple, because the prizes are quite tempting:
1st price: Orient Automatic with large date window sponsored by Greg Heath (Heat) who is currently buried by lots of work
2nd price: A Crystal Clear Kit from http://www.watchpolishing.com also including a strap revitalizing lotion called REVEAL, value USD 29.90 (this price will be shipped to you by watchpolishing.com directly
3rd price: a Seiko "See Through" T-Shirt
Here are the questions:
1. Question: One should not shake a mechanical watch. The shaken watch could trip off the the escape wheel when
A. The watch is shook in half frequency (1/2 beats per second, bph)
B. The watch is shook in double frequency 2*bps
C. The watch is shook in resonance with the frequency = bps
2. Question: An increased effect of this shaking "mystery" will occur if
A. The main spring is almost unloaded
B. The main spring is fully charged
C. The charge state of the main spring has no influence at all
Please post the two letters into the subject line, I will pick the winners tomorrow and the prizes will be mailed out by Monday.
Good luck everybody and a BIG THANK YOU to all you that made PMWF HAPPEN!
Best regards
The Answers
Dear All
I hope you had some fun. About the solutions:
please read the
"Shaking Watch Mystery" article on this website or also Walt Arnstein's
"Does Faster Mean More Accurate?" article in TZ Classics.
Basically shaking the watch in half frequency can obviously bring the balance wheel into resonance and thus trigger gains of seconds. I never observed losses.
2A: an almost discharged main spring will favor the instabilities because the watch is in a less stable state.
Reya is now with me and will draw the lucky winners, will announce them shortly.
Best regards
The Drawing
The Winners
1st Prize: Orient Automatic: Michel Honoré
2nd Prize: Crystal Clear & Reveal Watchpolishing Kit: fishtek
3rd Prize: Seiko T-Shirt: Vu
4th Prize: Seiko T-Shirt: redhamlet
Congratulations to all winners!

Council rejects DIY store's bid to extend hours (From Daily Echo)

Screwfix Direct in Ringwood denied application
1:30pm Thursday 28th February 2013 in News
People living beside an industrial estate have won the first round of their battle to prevent one of the firms extending its opening hours.
Councillors went against the advice of planning officers and rejected an application from Screwfix Direct – even though the scheme would have created 18 full and part-time jobs.
Screwfix wanted to open until 8pm on weekdays, 6pm on Saturdays and 4pm on Sundays and bank holidays.
The building supply firm occupies part of the Carvers Industrial Estate in Southampton Road, Ringwood, which is next to a conservation area.
People living nearby had objected to the proposal, saying it would result in extra noise and disturbance.
They pointed out that another company on the estate had recently been refused consent to open on Sundays and Saturday afternoons.
Now, residents must wait to learn if Screwfix will lodge an appeal with Government planners, who have the power to overturn the decision by New Forest District Council.

An indepth article on Greives Vasquez. Its an amazing read. Here is the link.
The stairs that climb into another desolate barrio begin next to a concrete wall splashed with red spray paint. A capital "S" and an "í" converge to serve as an affirmation. Yes. Left over from President Hugo Chávez's 2006 reelection campaign, Sí served as a means to foster loyalty among youth voters in return for all that Chávez had accomplished so far. He had rebuilt many of the outdoor basketball courts in barrios all across Venezuela's capital -- new paint jobs, new backboards, new rims, new nets, new fences.
In Caracas, the word stands for strength and promise and unity, a reward for patience shown. But here, patience remains in short supply.
Concrete gives way to crumbling orange brick and littered tin roofs. Tangled extension cords funnel electricity from the municipal lines down below, into parts of the city the government doesn't service. Barrios build vertically; the standard of living falls as the incline steepens.
The noise, though, grows with each step on this mid-August afternoon. Out of an unfinished home, salsa music blares, interrupted by the concussive bounce of a basketball. Inside a rectangular, 12-foot high, chain-link fence, six teenagers play: three-on-three, make-it-take-it. A 17-year-old named Arangel Carrillo dribbles the ball at the top of the key, sweat dripping off the bangs mopped across his forehead. He drives to his right, charging fiercely into the lane without regard for the pair of defenders swarming in his path. He dribbles once through his legs as he nears the basket, right hand to left, and then the ball is gone, tossed blindly behind his back to an open teammate. The shot clanks off the rim; play continues.
"Oh, yeah!" a voice from above yells in Spanish. "Look at the Greivises!"

#1 Commercial space vehicle launch aborted05-19-2012, 10:52 AM
From John Zarrella, CNN
updated 8:59 AM EDT, Sat May 19, 2012 |
(CNN) -- SpaceX aborted the historic launch of its Dragon spacecraft to the International Space Station on Saturday at the last second because of a rocket engine glitch.
The launch would the first attempt to send a private spacecraft to the space station. SpaceX and NASA officials say the next launch attempts could come Tuesday or Wednesday in the early morning hours at NASA's Kennedy Space Center.
As the countdown reached zero, the engines began firing -- but then shut down, NASA and SpaceX officials said.
SpaceX president Gwynne Shotwell said "high chamber pressure" was detected in Engine 5 of the Falcon 9, the rocket to carry the Dragon spacecraft. She said technicians will inspect the engines later on Saturday and is looking forward to another takeoff soon.
At least it didn't blow up...May the FORCE be with you!
Not blowing up is always a plus."Our president delivered his State of the Union message to Congress. That is one of the things his contract calls for -- to tell congress the condition of the country. This message, as I say, is to Congress. The rest of the people know the condition of the country, for they live in it, but Congress has no idea what is going on in America, so the president has to tell 'em." ~ Will Rogers
Cheap Chinese injectors, it's harder and harder to get good parts these days!The difference between pigs and people is that when they tell you you're cured it isn't a good thing.
I'm looking forward to when they don't need NASA at all (which will free the government agency to go back to its core missions of AGW alarmism and Muslim outreach). If we're smart, we'd do the equivalent of the British East India Company for lunar settlement (and, there won't be any natives to rebel, so it's not really imperialism, which means that the left will have one fewer objection).--Odysseus

Before you can do things for people, you must be the kind of man who can get things done. But to get things done, you must love the doing, not the people!

Dr. Anne Lin Named to 2010 List of Maryland's Top 100 Women
May 6, 2010
Anne Y.F. Lin, Pharm. D. founding dean of College of Notre Dame of Maryland School of Pharmacy, was recently honored as one of Maryland's "Top 100 Women" by The Daily Record, in recognition of her professional accomplishment, community leadership and mentoring.
Since joining Notre Dame in 2009, Dr. Lin has assembled a top-tier team of faculty and administrators from across the country. The co-ed program is distinguished for its focus on leadership development and women's health care across the lifespan. Nearly 500 applicants vied for 70 available seats in the school's inaugural class.
Dr. Lin earned her bachelor and doctorate degrees in pharmacy from St. John's University and completed her residency at Virginia Commonwealth University Health System. She attributes her professional success to the mentoring and guidance of her professors. As Dr. Lin remains devoted to guiding the next generation of pharmacy professionals, mentoring continues to be a crucial part of her work with students.
Earlier this year, Dr. Lin was named a "Health Care Hero" by The Daily Record for her leadership in the pharmacy field, as well has her commitment to caring for the greater community.

Novel trauma that comes with popcorn
Lately it seems like the only movies with any ability to sell tickets are those based on over-hyped novels written for pre-teenage, star-infatuated girls or fantasy obsessed, sexually-repressed and parent-dependent adults.
In recent years, the "Lord of the Rings" and "Harry Potter" books, along with the pre-teen titles like "Twilight" and "The Hunger Games," have produced box-office lines, book-store sell-outs, and head aches for those lucky enough to be older siblings. But it hasn't always been like this; since film's origins in the 1920's directors have transformed good reads into excellent films. Here are eight great literature-based films for those of us not quite in the mood for movies reminiscent in either the Bieber or League of Legends veins.
Anyone with any knowledge of recent filmmaking has heard of Christopher Nolan, Martin Scorsese and Woody Allen. But none possesses anything close to the ability of F.W. Murnau. In 1926, the German director turned Shakespeare contemporary Christopher Marlowe's 1604 play "Doctor Faustus" into "Faust," a 90-minute silent film with the ability not only to entertain, but emotionally move. Beautiful photography, amazing special effects and lighting elevate this film about morality, redemption and the human condition to masterpiece status.
In 1939, "The Grapes of Wrath" put a face on the Great Depression through it's portrayal of the Joads, a struggling Oklahoma family desperate to reach California. Steinbeck's classic was adapted a year later by director John Ford. Capturing the sense of the book, Ford's direction and a gritty, honest performance by Henry Fonda as Tom Joad make the film version a stunning and powerful Hollywood success.
Literature and film were seen as cultural and aesthetic equals for a time during the golden years of Hollywood. In 1944, director Howard Hawks, screenwriting star Jules Furthman and literary icon William Faulkner adapted Ernest Hemingway's "To Have and Have Not" for the silver screen. While the film strays heavily from the novel, which Hawks called "a bunch of junk" and Hemingway deemed his "worst book," performances by Lauren Bacall and Humphrey Bogart, excellent direction, and one of the best screenplay's ever written make the film version a charming, funny, sexy and ultimately timeless film.
Stanley Kubrick adapted Stephen King's bestseller "The Shining" in 1980 and ended up making one of America's most terrifying films. Jack Nicholsan stars as Jack Torrence, a novelist who becomes psychologically unstable during a winter spent with his family as caretaker of the Rocky Mountain resort, The Overlook Hotel. Strange and wonderful performances across the board and an excellent plot line are sure to put you face first in a pillow if you watch after dark.
Two book adaptations in 1992 failed to rack up awards at the Oscars or top box office charts, but are still excellent films. "The Last of the Mohicans" follows the last remaining people of the Mohican tribe of New York as they struggle to survive in a world of rival tribes and battling European powers. Action, romance, sweeping outdoor shot sequences and an intense performance by Daniel Day Lewis distinguish this historical-fiction based film.
Brad Pitt's performance in 1992's adaptation "A River Runs Through It" not only established him as a serious actor, but cemented his status as the sex-symbol of the 1990's. Robert Redford directs this family drama about a conservative father, a son who follows a prototypical American success story and his free-spirited and troubled brother. The three men, despite their differences and malcontent, are forever tied by their love of fly-fishing in the big-hearted rivers of 1930's Montana. The novel version by Norman Maclean has been compared to the writings of Thoreau and Hemingway in its poetic focus on the connection between American and nature.
In 1997, a band of B-list actors was cast to make a film together. By the years end, "L.A. Confidential," staring Russell Crowe, Kevin Spacey, Kim Basinger, Guy Pearce and Danny Devito had swept the nation and made stars out of Crowe, Pearce and Spacey. With excellent acting and a storyline that has remained unsurpassed by any American film in the 15 years following the film noire's release, "L.A. Confidential" still shocks and jolts first time viewers and satisfies those who cannot help but to keep coming back to this neo-classic crime thriller.
"Everything Is Illuminated," a small independent film based on Jonathan Safran Foer's 2002 debut novel, tracks one man's journey to Ukraine to discover his family's roots with quirky, bizarre and charming humor that is sure to satisfy. The movie stars Elijah Wood as a Jewish-American who clashes with an unconventional Ukrainian host family. The film's characters, and unique and odd, though hilarious sense of humor make it among of the best independent films - and best adaptations - of the past decade.

'Come, you who are blessed by my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, I was naked and you clothed me, I was sick and you visited me, I was in prison and you came to me.' Then the righteous will answer him, saying, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you drink? And when did we see you a stranger and welcome you, or naked and clothe you? And when did we see you sick or in prison and visit you?' And the King will answer them, 'Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.'
