Ah, Amy! I love this idea! And I just had a friend ask for ideas to use a bunch of doilies that her mother crocheted many years ago. I'm sure she could bunch up a doily and cut off any excess to achieve this look. I'm going to share your post with her right now! Thank you!

wow really pretty.. i made a couple of broaches too, but yours are so much prettier…!

These are breathtaking. They would be a beautiful embellishment to my kusudama bouquets. Thanks for the nice tutorial. Karen

Richella, i would not have your friend cut up hand crocheted doilies. They are soooo time consuming to make and have an historic value. They could be donated to a historical society. I would use cotten lace from the store or from other items but please don't use the hand crocheted doilies that your friend's mom handmade. Has your friend considered mounting and framing a few of those prized possessions for her walls?

These are so pretty Amy!! I love the look of the lace behind the brooches – it adds so much!

Well this is a late comment, but I saw your URL in te Consumer Crafts catalog I got today. I have made similar lace flowers and wondered what size the ones above are? I saw CC had similar pins for the center, they would make lovely holiday gifts. Thanks so much, just found your site and love it!

CHICAGO – "Drinking Buddies" director Joe Swanberg's latest release of the same star wattage is "Happy Christmas," an even lower-fi story than the Olivia Wilde beer comedy, steered even more by the casting that it was able to assemble. However, with this movie Swanberg doesn't so much worry about having a story that could be confused with a more mainstream romantic comedy if it were to have a bigger budget.

"Fear is a very powerful weapon, it catalyzes, it causes division, it can be used as an excuse to remove even more civil liberties. Make no mistake America, there are reasons the media are portraying this, in this particular light. You are ALL being manipulated." (random comment I read the other day…)
History has shown that so many revolutions that many of us have cheered on over the years have turned out to be completely fabricated (or at the very least, co-opted) for an ultimate end game.
Let me start this article by letting you know (in case you didn't) that every massive rights movement in modern American history has ultimately wound up infiltrated…
Every single one. Remember Occupy Wall Street? These things may even appear to start out organically, but at some point they get co-opted and steered by powerful people for a specific agenda. The question always becomes, "How long has this been going on?" and "What is the endgame?"
The Ferguson situation reeks of COINTELPRO.
(P.S. – The best comment on the story at Zero Hedge award goes to Jaap for posting this: "Good luck people of America, if you believe in paper and promises by your investment bankers. The whole thing is one big scam.")

Quick question: What in the hell is going on in California?
First, the state experiences an historic drought, which some have charged is actually being engineered.
Then, new legislation was passed just a few months ago which aims to control and regulate the use of groundwater on a never-before-seen level on one's privately-owned land. These laws will even create agencies that basically serve as "water police." Private wells will have to be registered and metered, and landowners who fail to comply will have their wells forcibly shut down by the government.
It's to the point that $500-a-day fines are being handed out for not obeying water restrictions, people are turning into snitches and "droughtshaming" each other on social media, and if it continues, the cost of produce could soar nationwide (considering much of the country's fruits and veggies are grown there).
Now, it has come to light that three billion gallons of fracking wastewater has "accidentally" been pumped into clean aquifers there.

Jon Fortt is an on-air editor based at CNBC's global headquarters in Englewood Cliffs, N.J. and a member of the ensemble cast of CNBC's "Squawk Alley."
Fortt joined CNBC as technology correspondent in July 2010, working from CNBC's Silicon Valley bureau where he covered the companies, start-ups and trends that are driving innovation in the industry. He also contributes to CNBC.com.
He came to CNBC from Fortune magazine, where as a senior writer he covered both large technology companies— such as Cisco, Hewlett-Packard, and Microsoft—and trends, including cloud computing and the smartphone revolution. He appeared regularly on KNTV's "Press:Here" technology show and analyzed tech trends on CNNi's "Quest Means Business." Along with a Fortune colleague, he conceptualized "Techmate," a video series and column that appeared on Fortune.com and in the magazine's technology section.
Before joining Fortune in 2007, Fortt was a senior editor at Business 2.0 magazine where he produced the "What Works" section.
From 1999 to 2006, Fortt wrote and edited at the San Jose Mercury News, Silicon Valley's hometown newspaper. There he contributed to several efforts that won awards from the Society of American Business Editors and Writers.
As a personal technology writer, his coverage duties included Apple, Palm and Adobe. He also served in roles outside the business department, covering education, editing local news and developing technology strategy. As the newspaper's senior Web editor, he helped develop a blog and podcast network, managed the creation of multimedia projects and served on the board of the Associated Press Managing Editors.
Fortt graduated from DePauw University as a Media Fellow, with a B.A. in English.

A closer look at the Tax Working Group
Today's Business View columnist is New Plymouth's Brent Hulbert , a partner with chartered accountants PricewaterhouseCoopers.
Relevant offers
Column: Business view
The Tax Working Group, which released its findings last month, worked to a brief to look at ways to boost the efficiency of savings and investment decisions and provide people with better reward for working, spread the tax base more fairly and make the tax system easier to comply with and administer.
The TWG had to consider tax reform on a fiscally neutral basis - in other words so the total tax- take would remain the same.
There has been much criticism in the media, and by special interest groups, of the report. This criticism has often been along the lines that taxes will increase and that this is not fair.
However, in fact, it is very clear that the TWG's recommendations are designed to maintain the same total tax take, with some redistribution for fairness, efficiency and productive reasons.
So let's take a look at a few key areas and some of the criticisms:
Rental property investment
One of the TWG's most important proposals is taxes on land ownership, particularly residential property investment.
The TWG has identified that $200 billion is invested in New Zealand residential rental property, four times the market capitalisation of all firms on the NZX. It is astounding to learn that this investment in 2008 generated a net tax refund to investors of $150 million. Is that fair to the salary and wage earners and productive business whose taxes are subsidising $200b of property investment?
Theoretically, a capital-gains tax would be the best economic way to extract a fair share of tax from this investment. In practice it is probably unworkable. Hence the land tax and risk-free rate of return recommendations.
Tax rates for different entities
Many business people and investors enjoy an income tax rate advantage over ordinary salary and wage earners.
Often business people are able to limit their tax rates to 30 per cent (in companies) or 33 per cent (in trusts). However, salary and wage earners are subject to a top tax rate of 38 per cent. Is it fair to tax a salary and wage earner at a higher rate than a business person or investor?
GST rate increase
One suggestion is to increase the GST rate to 15 per cent. GST is a very efficient method of collecting tax.
It is difficult to avoid, and relatively easy to administer.
The report acknowledges that lower-income earners would need to be compensated if there was an increase in the GST rate.
We need to make the tax system fair for all by spreading the tax burden across different types of taxpayers and different types of investment in a fair and consistent manner.
I think the report does an admirable job of analysing this in a holistic manner.
It's easy to find those who don't like individual recommendations - those who are not paying their fair share at present will be particularly vocal, but it pays to stand back and look at the bigger picture.
And remember, the report is limited to an outcome which doesn't change the current total tax take.
Is the current level of total taxation appropriate?
Well, that is a whole other debate . . .

CM Punk was interviewed by Mark Madden earlier today. Here are some highlights from the interview.
You don't need a win or a title to stay over with the fans. Is that a blessing or a curse?
I think it's a curse.
Madden said Punk is the "best talker out there" yet he's paired with Paul Heyman, who is also a great talker. Madden asked how that's not overkill.
Punk said he's not sure if he's the best talker out there and an argument could be made that Paul Heyman is the best. Punk said the friendship that he and Heyman have off-screen really shines through in their work together.
When you were in my studio years ago you agreed that you were not a wrestling lifer. Do you still feel that way or have you become a safer?
No I don't want to be a lifer. I just feel like I'm one of those guys that gets bored easy. So what's the next mountain?

Could McCormick & Co. spice up D.C.'s office market?
Send this to a friend
- Daniel J. Sernovitz
- Staff Reporter- Washington Business Journal
- Email | Twitter
Suburban Baltimore-based spice giant McCormick & Co. is sure to attract plenty of attention from D.C.-area landlords as it weighs a potential relocation from its longtime headquarters in Maryland, though it's too soon to say whether that will be enough to bring the maker of Old Bay Seasoning near the Capital Beltway.
My colleague at the Baltimore Business Journal, Kevin Litten, reported Wednesday that McCormick is looking for between 300,000 and 350,000 square feet and has cast a fairly wide net that extends into Northern Virginia and suburban Maryland but also includes southern Pennsylvania and Delaware.
The company is working with CBRE Group Inc., which issued a request for information outlining some of McCormick's requirements. Prime among them, McCormick doesn't need to be in its new space until April 2018, leaving plenty of time for new construction. The search is likely to reignite that cross-border competition economic development officials in Maryland and Virginia say doesn't actually exist but really does, as we've seen in the heated pursuit for the FBI, Bechtel, Intelsat S.A. and Sodexo USA, just to name a few.
The RFI is silent on plenty of factors that might help narrow down the field. Pertinent to D.C.-area landlords, the requirement doesn't stipulate whether locations need to be within so many feet of a Metro station. Nor does it list the District itself among the geographic sites it is considering, but whether that means D.C. itself is off limits or just implied to be in the running is unclear.
McCormick officials have also said they want to be "as close as we possibly can" to the company's current Baltimore County headquarters, but how far landlords can stretch that is subject to interpretation.
"That could be anywhere," Studley tenant rep Tom Fulcher told me. "They have four years to go, and in such a wide area, that could be anywhere." Fulcher said going out in the market this early could help sweeten the government incentive pot, but more to the point, he said McCormick is setting the stage to get as advantageous a deal as possible.
So why so broad a search area, and why so fuzzy in its definition? The most logical assumption would be to kick off a bidding war among landlords and economic development officials. A lag time of four years is enough for local and state governments to draft their incentive packages, as seen with Intelsat and Sodexo.
So if it settles on a Greater Washington location, where might it be looking? That's kind of like predicting where a child will look the first time it sees the inside of a candy shop. There will, of course, be several determining factors, including what landlords are willing to offer, labor costs, the labor pool itself. Also to be factored in is how well the company employees who now go to work in Sparks will react to having to commute to, say, Tysons.
In Northern Virginia, there are also a wide range of options. If it's looking for a corporate campus, Exxon Mobil Corp.'s Merrifield campus is still on the market. That could be too big a bite for the company, though, with 1.3 million square feet of existing office space on the 117-acre campus. Other potential development sites could work as well, including The Shooshan Co.'s nearly 500,000-square-foot office at 4040 Wilson Blvd., as would any number of planned developments in Tysons Corner.
Looking at the Free State side of the equation, there are plenty of sites in play and economic development dollars that could be brought to bear. Prince George's County has been touting the merits of its Metro stations, and will have D.C. economic development expert Victor Hoskins (also a former official with the Maryland Department of Business and Economic Development) at its disposal once he starts work later this month. We know from the FBI's ongoing headquarters search there are plenty of other large-block options in the Free State — Greenbelt, Westphalia and even the Landover Mall site. Then there are sites like the Air Rights Center in Bethesda, with just under 698,000 square feet of space being repositioned by MRP Realty and the Rockpoint Group.
There are quite a few interesting options for McCormick if it hasn't ruled out the District, including several the Washington Post looked at in places like NoMa and the Capitol Riverfront. The Wharf, while logical given its obvious seafood tie to Old Bay Seasoning, could be a bit of a tight fit, though. The first two buildings, slated for completion in 2016, are each under 300,000 square feet. But there is more than 1 million square feet of Class A office space planned there, so it's possible PN Hoffman could find a way to accommodate the company.

USA Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: USAT) ("USAT"), a leader of wireless, cashless payment and M2M telemetry solutions for small-ticket, self-serve retailing industries and Betson Enterprises, a division of H. Betti Industries, Inc. ("Betson"), a leading worldwide distributor of coin-operated amusement and vending equipment, coin-operated parts and service, today announced a national distribution agreement designed to expand the use of cashless payment within the amusement industry.
Betson, with 12 distribution offices across the United States, represents the industry's leading designers and manufacturers of amusement games. Subject to the terms of the three year agreement, Betson will serve as an authorized distributor of USAT's ePort® for cashless payment and data reporting services, including exclusive use of USAT's ePort Connect® service in conjunction with a customer's ePort.
According to Vending Times' 2012 Census based on 2011 data, the amusement vending industry, which includes categories such as video games, digital jukeboxes, electronic dart boards, ticket redemption arcade games and prize dispensing games, is a $4.67 billion industry with approximately 1 million machine locations.
"We are excited to be launching this new distribution relationship with USAT," said Betson's vice president of sales and business development, Jonathan Betti. "In our view, there is a tremendous amount of potential to improve business performance in the amusement industry by offering cashless payment. Similar to the way advances in technology and programming have altered the user experience and demographics in the amusement industry, we believe USAT's cashless payment and data reporting can provide another powerful boost to the industry.
"The growing appeal of cashless payment alternatives and the data reporting element available through USAT's ePort Connect service should support broader market appeal and greater returns for amusement operators," added Betti. "Players of high-end prize redemption games, digital jukeboxes, simulators and high volume plush toy merchandisers (crane machines) are a great match for the convenience of cashless payment. No more wrestling with the bill acceptor or searching for more coins in your pocket. In addition, amusement operators can benefit from the increased play cashless should facilitate while also reducing the inherent costs of handling cash," said Betti.
USAT's ePort cashless payment system is supported by its one-stop ePort Connect service—a PCI-compliant, comprehensive suite of cashless payment, telemetry and consumer engagement services specially tailored to fit the needs of the unattended, small-ticket retailing industry. ePort Connect enables self-service terminals to accept credit, debit, contactless cards and other cashless forms of payment and includes all elements of transaction processing, 24 x 7 customer service and online tracking of cash and cashless transactions.
"Betson is the gold standard for distribution in the amusement industry," said Michael Lawlor, USAT's senior vice president of sales and business development. "We believe their reputation and nationwide reach will be a facilitator to our anticipated growth platform as we continue to extend our reach beyond traditional vending to new market segments in small-ticket, unattended retail. We look forward to working with Betson in this exciting new opportunity."
Betson Enterprises
Betson Enterprises, headquartered in Carlstadt, New Jersey, is a division of H. Betti Industries. With 12 distribution offices nationwide, Betson Enterprises is the leading worldwide distributor of coin-operated amusement and vending equipment, OCS solutions, coin-operated parts, and service in the United States.

If you look into the details of what comprises the IoT, you'll see that it includes everything from cloud computing, Big Data analytics, "Things," Web communication, applications, network, storage, etc. It is essentially including everything connected online from ha...

The earthquake on Aug. 23 shook people from their office chairs and made them wonder what was happening. Almost immediately afterward too, people flooded onto Twitter to ask if anyone else had felt the ground move and to post their personal stories to millions of others.
"Think we just had an earthquake or something in [Crystal City, Va.]. All the bldgs shaking," Mary Davie, assistant commissioner of the General Services Administration's Office of Integrated Technology Services, tweeted at 1:57 p.m.
A rare magnitude 5.8 earthquake struck the National Capital area at 1:51 p.m. and traveled up the East Coast. It caused moderate shaking that was felt throughout Northern Virginia and nearby areas.
Rare earthquake shakes up D.C. federal buildings
In that potentially disastrous situation, social media filled a pressing need.
"Lots of people were reaching for their BlackBerrys and couldn't get dial tones. But they were still getting their e-mails, and they could text," he said. He received a text from his wife and mother-in-law, who were in Washington D.C. at the time, to say they were fine. Fugate then updated his Facebook page to let other family know that they were okay.
People texted and used social media to keep in contact instead of calling on their cell phones, which overwhelms a network, Fugate said.
More than that though, Twitter was the go-to website for breaking news.
"It was my primary news source" during the earthquake, said Josh Sawislak, a senior fellow at the Telework Exchange, a public-private partnership that studies Telework.
As Twitter overflowed, it sent the news out quickly. New Yorkers may have read about the earthquake before they felt it, according to BetaNews, which found a tweet sent at 1:52 p.m., just seconds after the earth shifted in Virginia.
It was sent soon enough that it beat the seismic waves up the coast.
"I saw the tweets from DC about earthquake, then 15 seconds later felt it in NYC. Social media is faster than seismic waves!" JesseCFriedman tweeted on Aug. 23 at 2:06 p.m.
But soon after the initial tweets, the jokes began. Some tweeted that the debt ceiling had fallen. And a picture of the devastation from the quake was a plastic lawn chair that had been knocked over. Even Californians teased those on the East Coast about their reaction to what many out West said was a minor quake.
"We eat 5.8 earthquakes for breakfast," one Twitterer wrote.
In a comic strip, a cartoonist may have pointed out a problem for people who go quickly to Twitter in dangerous situations.
"Sadly, a Twitterer's first instinct is not to find shelter."

The Bunn My Café is probably the best of all the single-serve coffee makers available right now.
It may not look as "cool" as some of the other brewers, but it makes up for that with its solid construction and functionality.
The first point to make about this brewer is that it accepts coffee pods of any size.
Instead of the usual, round pod holder found in most other models, this one has a coffee pod "tray" that accepts any size.
As a result, you can choose from a huge selection of pods, - from Senseo, Melitta, Folgers, Juan Valdez, Gala and even Starbucks.
Also, the water tank is a big one, so you don't have to refill it after every couple of cups of coffee.
As an added bonus, the Bunn My Café also brews tea, using a Pulse-Brew technology. The machine comes with two pod holders, one you can use for coffee and the other you can use for tea.
Another great feature is the sliding control at the base of the machine that you use to control the brew size: anywhere from 4 ounces to 12 ounces, depending on whether you are brewing for a cup, a mug or a travel mug.
If the Bunn My Café coffee maker has a downside, it's the price. This is a commercial quality machine, and that is reflected in what you pay.
In short, you'll pay almost double the price of a Senseo or Melitta single-serve brewer.
So in the end, it comes down to your budget. If you have the extra money, it's probably worth it.
You'll have a hassle-free single-serve brewer that accepts every different size of coffee pod out there.

Witch hunt
Beer: Hubble, bubble ... to drink it means trouble. Some brews for Halloween
Saturday 26 October 1996
After that, one takes a boneshaker, almost a ghost train, high into the Pennines by way of places like Oswaldtwistle and Accrington, to an unmanned station called Rose Grove. The windy platform there has several shrubberies, but the flower of Lancashire is conspicuously absent.
Near Rose Grove, on the edge of Burnley, is a rather curious brewery. Although it was established by William Moorhouse in 1865, and has operated on its present site since 1870, it spent most of its life making sugar-based, hopped brews that were allegedly non-intoxicating. Although these products actually contained a good 3 per cent alcohol, that modest level was thought to qualify them to be served in temperance halls in the robust days when everyday beers were much stronger. There were many such halls in the days when most Pennine mill towns lived under the glare of the chapel.
Moorhouses still makes such hop bitters as an ingredient of proprietary shandies, though there were none in stock when I called. Things have changed considerably since the last Moorhouse sold the brewery in 1978. That was during the first resurgence of "real ale", and the new owner, a local businessman, decided to brew some.
Several owners since, the present incumbent, also a businessman, added the refinement of a "premium brand": Pendle Witches' Brew. The name is owed to the 19 alleged witches tried at Lancaster Castle in 1612, 10 of them sent to the gallows.
Although the ladies were said to have haunted the nearby Pendle Hill on Midsummer's Night, their brew has become more strongly associated with Halloween. During October, its sales triple and it has, year round, something of a cult following.
There is nothing sinister about the brewery. The small, two-storey building shares a terrace, called Moorhouse Street, with three or four houses originally built for its workers. Having myself grown up in a similar Pennine town, I have a soft spot for such small local industries. I am always reminded of Pledge's Pickle Factory, in a television series featuring long-gone Northern comedians Hylda Baker and Jimmy Jewell.
No pickles were made by Moorhouses, but one of its brew kettles originally saw service in a jam factory in the Thirties. It looks like an inverted top hat made of copper. It is not quite a witches' hat, but I have never seen such an odd-looking brew kettle, and it was the high spot of my visit.
This open kettle may contribute to the juicy freshness of Pendle Witches' Brew. The more common closed type can "stew" the barley malt. Moorhouses uses barley malt from Nottinghamshire and East Anglia, hops of the Fuggles variety from Worcestershire, water from the Lake District, and a famously robust yeast from the Thwaites brewery in nearby Blackburn.
The result is a pinkish-amber ale with a slightly oily, smooth texture. It starts with a sweetish, barley-sugar maltiness, develops a strawberryish fruitiness, and finishes with an aniseedy hop dryness. It is perilously drinkable for a beer of more than 5 per cent alcohol. "It creeps up on you," warned brewery manager Bob Lee. I requested another pint, and began to see what he meant.
I think I will give myself a sober moment to deal with trick-or-treaters on 31 October before I risk the Witches' Brew. If you feel tempted, the beer can be found in Northern store chains such as Booth's and Morrison's. Speciality beer stores also offer some scary brews from elsewhere:
l Hexen Brau is the Swiss-German way of saying "Witches' Brew". This is an earthy, nutty, chocolatey dark lager of 4.5 per cent made by the Hurlimann brewery of Zurich. It is brewed only at full moon. The custom arises from beliefs in some Alpine valley that the pull of the full moon favourably affects natural processes - including fermentation.
l Old Nick, with the Devil on its label, is the strongest beer from Young's brewery in London. At 7.2 per cent, it is dubbed barley wine, though at this potency the fermentation naturally creates flavours reminiscent of a banana liqueur.
l Duvel is a corruption of the Flemish word for devil. This world-class beer from Belgium has the innocent colour of the palest golden lager but is actually an ale, made with Scottish yeasts. It is devilishly deceptive drinking, far lighter than its 8.2 per cent. The Belgians serve it lightly chilled, in a Burgundy sampler, as an aperitif. I like it after dinner; its flavour reminds me of the brandies made from Williams pear in Alsace. Duvel has many lesser (but equally strong) Belgian rivals, with names like Satan and Lucifer.
l La Biere du Demon is a similar brew, with a more lager-like palate, at a mighty 12 per cent from the frightening sounding brewery Les Enfants de Gayant, in Douai, northern France. The brewery's name, "Children of the Giant", is a reference to local folklore.
l Pete's Wicked Ale, devised in California and produced in Minnesota, is not as sinful as it sounds, but the nutmeg-spiced Pete's Wicked Winter Brew at about 5 per cent has the right nationality and seasonal allusion for Halloween.
My American favourite for this season is Blackened Voodoo, a treacly dark lager of 4.5 per cent from New Orleans, the American city most given to ghost lore. There was a threat to ban this "blasphemous" beer in neighbouring Texas, much of which is Bible Belt. The state of Louisiana responded by saying that it would outlaw Lone Star, the famous (but anaemic) lager of Texas.
The Lone Star brewery has since gone out of business
The New York chapter of the American Institute of Wine and Food is for the first time to award a scholarship to a brewer of beer. The award will be known as the Michael Jackson Scholarship, after The Independent's writer on the subject.
