Purchase Reason
This is one of several pictures I ordered for decorating our guestroom in a theme more appropriate for our little grandson but still appropriate for a guestroom. I decided on a nautical/ocean theme because he loves sea life. This picture gave us "Nemo" but not a cartoon character but a real life photo of a clown fish! Perfect, but would have liked it just a few inches bigger for the spot I have it in. But our grandson lovesit as well as the others I bought at www.art.com. for his room.

As a life-long singer and lover of music, Jenny looks forward to sharing her experience with you. She spent most of her high school and college years in music classrooms and on stages in concerts and numerous musical theatre productions, including Best of Broadway and other Sacramento-area theatres. One of her greatest experiences was studying voice and singing in the American River College Chamber Singers, directed by Perla Warren.
Jenny studied voice with international opera tenor, Joseph Frank, at San Jose State University. She sang with the SJSU Concert Choir and Choraliers, directed by Dr. Charlene Archibeque, graduating Magna Cum Laude with a Bachelor's Degree in Vocal Performance in 1995. She has also been a credentialed music teacher since 1997 and has taught all ages and grade levels, including concert, chamber and jazz choirs, music theory, music appreciation, and elementary general music. She has also been a private voice and piano teacher for more than 20 years.
Jenny is a founding member of The Choral Project, directed by Daniel Hughes, and is currently the soprano section leader of the Sacramento Master Singers, directed by Dr. Ralph Hughes. She also directs the choir at Christ the King Lutheran Church and performs regionally as a soloist. She is passionate about musical theatre and has recently worked as a vocal director with Christian Youth Theatre and Stage Right Productions.
Jenny especially enjoys working with singers to help build confidence as soloists, theatre performers and choir/chorus members. She is also a member of the National Association of Teachers of Singing (NATS) and works to stay current on issues surrounding vocal health and success. She also enjoys helping singers and pianists work on musicianship and performance skills.
*** Lesson Details ***
Voice: For ages 10 through adult, beginning through early-advanced levels. We will work toward accomplishing your goals in an encouraging environment and will work on improving breath, tone, and singing with good vocal health. My favorite activities are helping students prepare for auditions and performances!
Piano: For ages 5 through adult, beginning through intermediate levels. I like to have an age-appropriate lesson book for every student, as well as supplementary books that are exciting and help the student achieve his or her goals. I believe that everyone should have at least a little piano experience in their life, no matter what age they are! Students MUST own a piano or keyboard with touch sensitivity.
*** Studio Equipment ***
Piano, music stand, CD/iPod
*** Specialties ***
Classical, musical theatre, light pop, note-reading skills, performance/audition preparation, basic/intermediate piano skills and musicianship
Your lessons are designed to help you develop the skills and confidence you need to successfully perform in public. I work hard to prepare your lessons and I ask my students to invest daily time working on skills studied at their lessons. Performing music requires the patient integration of multiple skills over time, however, the rewards are BIG.
I continually update my teaching methods by attending workshops and master classes and I incorporate my knowledge of human anatomy and function, to help you perform with minimal strain. Also, I incorporate internet resources in your lessons to keep them interesting and up to date.
What will your lessons be like?
At your first lesson we will explore and name the parts of your instrument (voice or cello). We'll talk about what you would like to learn, set attainable goals and select songs that you will be successful learning.
In subsequent lessons you will warm up with scales and exercises, using common intervals with basic rhythms to improve your technical abilities and gain musical skills and knowledge, such as hearing pitches and intervals and keeping with the beat. This will also help you learn to read music.
Singers will learn to use breathing to coordinate with your vocal folds to make a beautiful tone and sing on pitch, relax your throat and tongue to create resonant chambers, shape your mouth and tongue to color the tone, and use your tongue and lips to form the words.
Cellists will learn to transfer your body weight into your cello to produce a mellow tone, placing your hands and arms on the cello and bow in a relaxed and balanced manner to allow you to play smoothly and in tune and to prepare you to produce a lovely vibrato. Since cellos don't have frets, you will also learn to locate each note on the cello but just a few notes at a time - until you know them all.
You will learn to use your technical skills and knowledge to create musical phrases that sound beautiful and authentic and are fun to perform and listen to. You will need to practice simple skills and phrases repeatedly until they become habit. I will lend you my kind and patient support to help you through the bumps in the road.
Not sure how to practice at home?
To support your practice at home you will: Receive a recording of each lesson to practice with; Learn simple exercises you can do at home; Learn to create and use simple backup tracks of your songs to learn to hear rhythm and harmony; Learn how to use your computer at home to get feedback for pitch, and tone quality.
Nervous about performing?
When you are comfortable you will have three opportunities per year to perform in student programs performing for friends and families.
You will have opportunities to participate and perform in workshops which include performance opportunities, lectures, demonstrations and Master Classes with nationally recognized teachers and performers. And students can earn Certificate of Merit which are recognized by universities.
I grew up in a household of 9 where music was always center stage. We would sing as a family in different venues and were often called the VonTrapp family. I have enjoyed singing and performing from a young age. I began studying flute at age 8, after scoring highest in the harmony listening exam and began formal violin lessons at the age of 9. I studied all genres including, fiddle, classical, musical theater and 20th century. I have continued to study violin since then and have performed in many orchestras and small groups, such as Honor Orchestra, the Paradise Symphony, the Yuba College Orchestra, Yuba-Sutter Oratorio Society Orchestra and more. I have been concert master and first stand in many of these. I have also soloed in many and have been the first violinist in quartets for countless weddings and other events. I have also played in numerous pit orchestras for musicals.
I have been in choirs and soloing since I can remember. I have performed and soloed in choirs such as the Yuba-Sutter Oratorio Society, CSUS Chamber Choir, the CSUS Women's Choir and more. I have toured to Victoria, Montreal, Ottowa, Oregon and Washington. I have also been in opera productions such as The Magic Flute, Peleas and Melisande and Die Fledermaus (The Bat) with CSUS Opera. I am a recent recipient of the Saturday Club Scholarship, a prestigious award, and have won many competitions (some repeatedly) both vocally and with violin, such as the Tri-County Competition, Young Artist Competitions, and the California Soloist and Ensemble Competitions. Additionally, I have performed musical theater repertoire and have performed as lead in musicals such as Beauty and the Beast and Into the Woods. I have also soloed repeatedly with the Yuba College jazz band and at churches all around.
I have earned my Bachelor of Music in Vocal Performance from CSU Sacramento. I have my Associates Degrees in both Music and Early Childhood Education from Yuba College. Additionally, I have obtained my certificate of completion of training from Music Together, an organization which trains teachers to teach Basic Music Competence (both in tonality and meter), and am currently teaching this curriculum.
I have been teaching music privately for over ten years to all ages, genders and abilities. Additionally, I have taught ages 0-5 years in a preschool setting for 7 years and am extremely familiar with developmentally appropriate practices for both preschool and school age, as I am a site supervisor at a child development center with a preschool and after school program. I have had many adult students as well and encourage adults to enrich their lives with music at any age! Additionally, I have experience teaching parent child classes and am familiar with how to teach to the particular needs of each family and student.
I'm extremely excited and looking forward to growing as a professional, both teaching and performing, in both the areas of violin and voice and to be instrumental in your musical growth too; I can't wait to share my passion with you and to ignite your passion for music too!
*** Lesson Details ***
I have been teaching since 2002 and have loved every minute of it! I teach all ages. I tailor my style of teaching to each student's goals and to what works for you. If you want to learn Taylor Swift music, I won't be giving you arias. On the other hand, if you wish to study classically, I have repertoire appropriate for you. I teach fiddle, classical, orchestral, 20th century and more for violin students and have experience with jazz, classical, musical theater, pop, religious, spiritual, choral, 20th century and more vocally.
For violin students, I use the Suzuki method as a pushing off point, a tried and true method used in many countries across the world, though I have other repertoire including fiddle, orchestra, small ensemble, solo, concertos, Christmas, and more. For vocalist, I start with the book, Adventures in Singing. I also have warm ups and exercises to keep you vocally healthy. I will teach you anything you want to learn! I also teach how to read music, theory and harmony, depending on your interest and tailored to your current skill level.
I am encouraging and knowledgeable. I will meet you at your current level, be that beginner, intermediate, or advanced. My students can look forward to being encouraged and growing through their time with me. I don't have preset ideas about where you should be in 3-6 months, nor do I have a one size fits all teaching style. Instead, I will work with you individually so that you will become the best musician you can be, meet your goals, and increase your enjoyment and appreciation for music.
*** Studio Equipment ***
Lessons in open space, digital piano, music stands, violins available for rent, music, staff paper and computer
*** Travel Equipment ***
I expect my students to provide the instrument with all of it's accessories (ie shoulder rest, rosin, bow and case) along with the appropriate level Suzuki book. I have instruments available for rent. My voice students should bring their own music also. I have an electric piano in my studio along with music stands. Of course, every student must have a pencil an come ready to have fun learning! :)
*** Specialties ***
Suzuki, solfege, art songs and arias, reading music, fiddle, classical, healthy vocal technique and musical theater. I am very good at working with any age.
I have been studying and performing music for the majority of my life, starting with piano in the third grade. I started singing in choirs in high school and continued studying voice throughout college. I have a classical background and moved to jazz voice as an undergraduate at California State University of Sacramento. I am excited to begin my graduate studies in Vocal Pedagogy in the spring of 2014!
*** Lesson Details ***
Teaching music gives me joy! I create a positive and encouraging environment for students to gain confidence in their performance abilities. Every student is different and I approach each lesson accordingly in order to accommodate each student's needs and expectations.
*** Studio Equipment ***
Piano, microphone, sound system, music stand, sitting area for parent(s) when needed. Students are expected to purchase their own books which are required for piano lessons. I can supply photo copies for the first couple of lessons until books are delivered.
*** Travel Equipment ***
I can provide a metronome for lessons, but each student should acquire their own for practicing purposes. Students should provide a stereo, preferably with an iPod adapter, to listen to musical examples, and a piano for voice or their own instrument for instrumental lessons. I can provide an extra ukulele for lessons, but students should have their own for practicing purposes.
*** Specialties ***
I specialize in jazz voice, teaching students jazz theory and improvisation as well as stylistic techniques.

Studio Equipment:
- Piano

I am an all-round Singer-songwriter, vocalist and performer. I teach from my humble small home here in Elk Grove, CA. I grew up right here in South Sacramento where I started singing solos in church choirs, playing guitar and songwriting since the age of 9. I studied opera (at BIOLA University) for 3 years then receive my B.F.A. in Music and Theatre from California State University of Irvine (Southern California). I moved onward and upward playing several leading roles on Broadway (New York City) for 18 years. Before that I performed in Japan, Brazil and all over parts of the Caribbean and South America. I also sung and performed at Universal Studios Florida and Disney World. My extended biography consists of being a 5 time Billboard Dance music charter, a voting member of the Grammy's, a Former Miss Orange County (Miss California/America Organization), I'm also a 12 times "Best Actress" Off Broadway/Regional/Stock (NYC) and I am a recognized Obie Nominated artist for writing the "Best Electronica Musical". I am also a member of ASCAP and AEA.
I teach One hour lessons, once a week only.
I believe that only some people on this earth were born to sing and that gift should be guided carefully, but I also believe that EVERYONE should learn to sing no matter what. Like getting good sleep, exercising and having a good diet, learning to sing is a must if you want a healthy, full life. I am NOT a coach. I am a teacher. Yes, there is a difference. I am very good at breaking down the voice and identifying the student's strengths and weaknesses using various exercises. I prefer to work with the students voice first before working on their performance skills (presentation of song). I am very patient, fun, enthusiastic, high energy and I love working with children as much as adults. I strongly support the basic skills: sight-reading (pitch and tone) and vocal control (posture/breathing). I have about 10 years of experience in teaching kids and adults privately.
C'mon! Lets sing!
"Steven is very professional and extremely helpful. He always has a smile on and is serious about helping you phrase the music. I would highly recommend him to anyone."
"It's been really exciting so far! Jordan has been so helpful, so knowledgeable. I could not have found a better instructor and I'm getting better and better every day."
"My daughter's wedding was weeks away and I had never been able to dance a step. With Jenny's help, I came further than ever before in such short time in any subject."

Have you tried tickling the giggle pin?
Anti-freeze was topped up just before Xmas.
Have you tried tickling the giggle pin?
First thing I tried Bossman - got a tiny bit of a laugh but that was about it.
Cut a hole in the floor and use your legs to propel the vehicle.
If the engine sounds ok in neutral, maybe its a drive shaft problem, CV joint perhaps?
And I thought I was having a bad day with my heater not working as it should..
(Clears windows but doesn't provide adequate heat to defrost fingers and toes!)
:S Wish I knew what all that was. When I was 15 I went on work experience to a garage and hated it, so vowed not to bother learning about cars - I have friends who can help with that (and this forum ).Originally Posted by broc
Everyone has taken a different guess at what the fault is, but who is right? The winner gets a holiday to the moon (not at all funded by me or this forum). Find out who it is after 4!
CV - constant velocity joint, it's the bit that allows the wheels to be turned to an angle and still turn via the driveshaft.
Have you checked the event log?
ooh, i learn something new everyday....
Now if i would only take my driving test.....
Have you had a look at the Fuffle valve to see if it is blocked?
Did you try turning it off then on again?
Bill Bailey on car mechanics, something like....
"Its the starter motor gasket handle i recon, not fireing up through the st elmo's pipe trench! "
Ok folks - car is fixed and I'm a happy chappy.
I'm sorry to say though none of you have won a trip to the moon. The problem I was looking for was actually a "Kerfuffled (I would also have accepted FUBARED) Coil Pack"
hah, coil pack. First thing I do when I change car is scrappie raid for parts..alternator, coil, bulbs etc. All go in my garage in case they're needed.

UNITED NATIONS (AP) -- International envoy Lakhdar Brahimi says the civil war in Syria threatens to spill across the Middle East and is "extremely bad and getting worse."
He told reporters after a closed-door briefing to the deeply divided U.N. Security Council on Monday that he and the council members began to discuss "the way forward."
Brahimi said he didn't have "a full plan" now but was working with a few ideas he hopes to expand after another visit to the region.
He said the situation remains stalemated and "extremely difficult," with no prospect to move forward "today or tomorrow."
But Brahimi said he told the council that "paradoxically," now that he has learned a little more about what's happening, "I think that we will find an opening in the not too distant future."

Man flies through the air after being shocked by lightning
POSTED: Monday, September 2, 2013 - 7:39pm
UPDATED: Tuesday, September 3, 2013 - 8:41am
El Paso, Texas (KTSM) — A lightning bolt sent a man flying through the air in Central El Paso. It happened around 8 p.m. on the 3500 block of Tyler. The man's girlfriend tells Newschannel 9 she was saying goodbye to her boyfriend next to her car when suddenly a lightning bolt lit up the sky, striking just a couple of feet away.
Mariana Cuevas says she could only watch as her boyfriend flew through the air and into her open car door.
"I just got so scared. I had to call his mom because he was shaking so much and he was having trouble breathing and we just called 911. I got really scared," said Cuevas.
The 23 year-old man was checked out by EMT's at the scene, but declined to be taken to the hospital.
"It hit right here next to us and he just flew into the car and his glasses flew all the way into the other side of the car," said Cuevas.

505 - El Bosque
House | 2 bedrooms | sleeps 4
|Key Info
This is a spacious and modern ground floor apartment which has been very tastefully decorated and equipped to provide a very comfortable and child friendly holiday home. The entrance hall gives way to an open-plan living space, taking your eye through to a fabulous terrace looking over the woodland beyond.
The sitting room has a gorgeous squashy corner sofa and a separate sofa-bed, perfect to enjoy a family DVD or a quick catch up of CBeebies before bedtime. There is also a Wi-Fi connection available on a reasonable pay as you go system in case you would like to bring the laptop or iPad.
The dining room holds a beautiful marble topped table with plenty of space for Mum, Dad, kids and the highchair! But there is also a handy granite-topped bar next to the kitchen for easy breakfasts (a couple of bar stools are perfectly placed for Mum to sit & have a glass of vino while Dad cooks dinner too!) The kitchen itself is fully equipped with everything you need - microwave, ceramic hob, oven and large fridge freezer, so mealtimes are a breeze.
A twin bedroom is perfect for the children and has plenty of room for an additional cot or two, if required. The room has an automatic blind to stop early morning light coming in through the large window, and it is just opposite the shower room, perfect for night time visits. The twin beds can be pushed together into a super-king size if perhaps two couples with babies wanted to share, and the apartment can also sleep a further two on the sofa bed in the sitting room.
The master bedroom is decorated with an African feel and has a doorway leading out onto the terrace. Early morning lay-ins listening to the sound of the dawn chorus are bliss! Air conditioning is provided in Summer and heating in Winter, and a ventilation fan is also available for comfort in high season.
The family bathroom is modern and clean, with a full sized bath with shower over and plenty of room for cuddling your little Tots dry. Finally a very handy utility room has a washer, iron, ironing boards and clothes rails for drying those wet swimming togs.
Parent points:
The children's room has a door leading to the interior patio of the block. The shutter can be kept down to prevent access, but parents should check they are locked.

I am not Jewish. I have very mixed European roots, my father was half Polish half Prussian and my mother was Venetian Italian, brought up in France.
My father was born a Prussian citizen in the Russian occupation zone of pre 1st World War Poland (Warsaw). As a child he was interned by the Russian Tsarist authorities as an enemy alien upto and including the Russian Revolution of 1917. In 1919, on his return to a newly independent Poland, he was given Polish citizenship, as were both his parents. As a young man he grew up and studied in Poland then, being fluent in Polish, German, Russian and French going on to work in the Polish Foreign Ministry as a diplomat.
In 1939 the outbreak of World War II caused him to volunteer for the Polish army, fighting against first and second maternal cousins who were in the German Army. He and his parents survived the terrible occupation of Warsaw through to 1944 when the Warsaw Uprising took place (1st August to 3rd Ocotber). Grandfather was killed as were all other immediate family memebers with the exception of granny and my father. After a term in prison camp in Germany and subsequent service in the Polish Army in the West, my father emigrated with my mother from then rabidly communist France to the UK (London) in 1948. Where both spent the rest of their lives to their deaths and burial.
A fairly classic story of changes of citizenship, mixed family backgrounds and subjection to massively destructive political forces in central eastern Europe. I myself am currently living in Warsaw, though my sons are in London and Brussels. Yet another change, this time evolutionary rather than revolutionary, in the developing European Union! By all means look back, learn the lessons of history with unblinkered and critical eyes and then go on to live a positive life!

Ford starts out 2012 with a year over year gain
2012 will prove to be an interesting year for the folks at Ford Motor Company, for the first time in decades, the automaker begins a year with just two brands under their company crest.
2012 will prove to be an interesting year for the folks at Ford Motor Company, for the first time in decades, the automaker begins a year with just two brands under their company crest.
Ford unveiled the production version of the B-Max ahead of the Geneva Motor Show, opening in March, where the company will fully showcase the van along with specifications.
Ford is stepping up its Global Driving Skills for Life Program, which so far has trained 500,000 new drivers to safely operate their vehicles.
The 20-mile electric range plug-in model will be built on the global C-car platform used by the Ford Focus and other planned products.
The new design is part of NASCAR and manufacturer's moves to make the race cars more distinguishable from one another in an effort to engender more brand competition and loyalty amongst fans.
The ST-R features a 2.0 liter EcoBoost engine, FIA-regulation roll cage, uprated braking, and a track-tuned suspension.
Update Jan. 27, 2012 6:30 p.m. Ford Motor Company (NYSE: F) stock closed today at 12.21 down from Thurs. close of 12.79.
The EcoBoost engine family is capable of delivering up to 20% better fuel economy than conventional engines and will be available in more high-volume name plates in Ford's line up this year.
The tropical plant used is called kenaf, a relative of bamboo, cotton and okra.
The video entitled "Motorcycle vs. Car Drift Battle 2" features professional motorcycle stunt riders Ernie Vigil and Nick Apex. This is the sequel to the other Youtube hit " Motorcycle vs.
The car sold was the racetrack durability car used to develop the 2013 Shelby GT500 production Mustang.
The new Ford Focus is offered in two basic forms – a sedan and a 5-door hatchback – with S, SE, SEL and Titanium trimlines for the sedan while the hatchback offers only the SE, SEL and Titanium pac
While Ford's new slogan of Go Further will be used in various markets around the world over the next year, the key markets which will sport this new slogan will be the United States and Europe.
The Ford Fusion has long been the choice of Ford factory backed racers in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series while the Ford Mustang has carried the flag in the NASCAR Nationwide Series.
Ford plans to offer these 20,000 salaried workers a raise that will average 2.7%, with the actual amount being based on the individual performance of each worker in 2011.
Whenever I attend an auto show or a technology seminar, I look for the display that communicates best the design and function of the technology so that the public comes away more informed than when

Transform Feedback, OpenGL 3.0 Ready For RadeonSI
Published on 03 September 2013 08:52 PM EDT
Written by
Michael Larabel
9 Comments
The AMD "
" Gallium3D driver for Radeon HD 7000/8000 series hardware support by the open-source Linux graphics driver is about to support OpenGL 3.0. While the hardware is capable of OpenGL 4.4, the open-source RadeonSI driver has only advertised OpenGL 2.1 compliance.
Preventing the RadeonSI driver from advertising OpenGL 3.0 (or greater) like the R600, Intel, and Nouveau drivers has been its lack of transform feedback support. As described via the
OpenGL.org Wiki
, "Transform Feedback is the process of capturing Primitives generated by the Vertex Processing step(s), recording data from those primitives into Buffer Objects. This allows one to preserve the post-transform rendering state of an object and resubmit this data multiple times."
Marek Olšák submitted a set of 11 patches to the
Mesa-dev list
on Tuesday that implements transform feedback for RadeonSI and also enables OpenGL 3.0 support, since it was the last remaining feature.
These 11 patches also depend though on a Radeon GPU LLVM patch, which will end up being released with LLVM 3.4 likely by the end of the year. So if you'll want GL3+ support on RadeonSI, you're going to either need to be pulling the LLVM development tree for the latest support or wait until 2014.

As people along the Gulf Coast prepare for a possible hurricane, farmers in Texoma don't really have to worry.
Farmers had an early harvest this year, with 95 percent of the crops already harvested.
Ben Wible, Grayson County Farm Bureau President, said farmers could have seen some damage from the heavy rains and winds a hurricane could bring in this direction.
He said any other year farmers would be worried about the potential for crop loss right now.
But without crops to worry about, he said farmers are just happy to see some rain.
"It would refill our stock tanks, recharge the sub-soil moisture," he said. "And get our soil ready for planting. In about a month we'll start planting wheat. We have to have some moisture for that to happen."
Wible said he doesn't know exactly why the harvest was so early this year, but says he attributes it to last year's extended drought.
"We never turn down the chance for rain here in Texas," he said.

The Celestics - Charles Barkley
Artist: The Celestics
Producer: KAYTRANADA
Album: Supreme Laziness
Avg Rating: 3.3 ( 3 votes )
Basketball fan or not, everyone knows Charles Barkley; the man has undoubtedly transcended the court and become a borderline goofy, cult-ish hero. Given the popularity of the former NBA power forward, I'm sure several of our readers will click play on this introductory selection from Booth newcomers The Celestics; these individuals may have come for the title, but surely will stick around for the impressive, unique effort from the duo. The track's dripping, synth production, courtesy of KAYTRANADA (one-half of the pair), matches the meandering, loose-structured flow of both emcees perfectly. While the complete effort exudes an off-kilter vibe, there is a strange, entrancing fluidity to their madness, which inevitably leaves the listener wanting more. Where that "more" comes from, however, is a different story; the duo's Supreme Laziness project is forthcoming, but has been delayed to this point and as yet hasn't received a new drop date.

The Great American Bar Crawl
Teachers lie to you. Television lies to you. Guide books—they really lie to you. But your barkeep? He'll always give it to you straight. Think of him as the cooler version of your hotel's concierge. He knows all the good places in town and what to ask for when you get there. This weaving, wandering tour was founded on our faith in that good word, a cross-continental cocktail crawl with no set destination—just the toast-worthy advice of some of the country's best bartenders. We began with one of our favorite mixologists, Leo Robitscheck of the award-winning Eleven Madison Park and Nomad hotel, and then let him pass the torch from there...

What does the CIO of the National Reconnaissance Office have in common with the CEOs of Abiquo, Apprenda, Tier3, OutSystems and OpSource, the Co-Founder & CTO of Dell Boomi, the CTOs of Rackspace, rPath, Compuware, BMC, NextIO, SoftLayer, SOA Software, Gale Technologies, CiRBA and UShareSoft, and the Chief Cloud Executive at VMware? Answer: all are members of the distinguished Speaker Faculty of Cloud Expo Silicon Valley, due to take place November 7-10, 2011, at the Santa Clara Convention Center in Santa Clara, CA - the heart of Silicon Valley.
Cloud Computing is changing the way we work and live. The economic realities that companies faced this year and last led many IT executives in 2010 and 2011 to closely evaluate cloud computing. The cloud is here to stay, and it is expanding fast.
Cloud computing is fast shifting responsibility for application maintenance, operations and disaster recovery development from the business user to the service provider. Companies of every size, from giants to start-ups, have been finding the cloud offers an attractive business proposition and are already leveraging its potential for significant upside in terms of cost and new opportunities.
Five or 10 years from now, most companies and people in the developed world will be connected to the cloud in some fashion, unlocking a tremendous amount of opportunity, productivity, and wealth.
Attending Cloud Expo Silicon Valley (November 7-10) is your chance to move far beyond discussions about how to define cloud computing and focus instead on the real story: the highly productive and potentially profitable changes it is creating in the way we both work and live.

The security devil is always in the details of the attack: the ones you've endured, the ones you prepare yourself to fend off, and the ones that, you fear, will catch you completely unaware and defenseless. The Internet of Things (IoT) is nothing if not an endless proliferation of details. It's the vision of a world in which continuous Internet connectivity and addressability is embedded into a growing range of human artifacts, into the natural world, and even into our smartphones, appliances, and physical persons.

How do APIs and IoT relate? The answer is not as simple as merely adding an API on top of a dumb device, but rather about understanding the architectural patterns for implementing an IoT fabric. There are typically two or three trends: Exposing the device to a management framework Exposing that management framework to a business centric logic Exposing that business layer and data to end users. This last trend is the IoT stack, which involves a new shift in the separation of what stuff happens, where data lives and where the interface lies. For instance, it's a mix of architectural styles ...

Project members are working to take the scalability and openness of the web and use it to talk to the exponentially exploding range of smart devices. Nearly every company today working on the IoT comes up with the same basic solution: use my server and you'll be fine. But if we really believe there will be trillions of these devices, that just can't scale. We need a system that is open a scalable and by using the URL as a basic building block, we open this up and get the same resilience that the web enjoys.

We are reaching the end of the beginning with WebRTC, and real systems using this technology have begun to appear. One challenge that faces every WebRTC deployment (in some form or another) is identity management. For example, if you have an existing service – possibly built on a variety of different PaaS/SaaS offerings – and you want to add real-time communications you are faced with a challenge relating to user management, authentication, authorization, and validation. Service providers will want to use their existing identities, but these will have credentials already that are (hopefully) i...

Janome Dealer Bittersweet Fabrics Wins Hall of Fame Award
Longtime Janome dealers are recognized by the Vacuum and Sewing Dealers Trade Association.
Each year the trade association for sewing dealers across the country recognizes one outstanding store. This year, at their annual trade show, they gave the Hall of Fame Award to Bittersweet Fabric Shop located in Boscawen, NH. Don And Audrey LaValley, the owners of the shop, have been Janome dealers for 34 years.
Bittersweet Fabrics opened on August 7, 1968 in the family dining room of the LaValley home. It was Audrey's dream to start the shop, quitting her job at the telephone company and managing her fledgling store with seven children at home.
Within a few years they were able to build their store and now provide quality sewing machines, as well as first-rate sales, education and service to sewists throughout the northeast.
Twelve years ago their son David joined the team, continuing the Bittersweet Fabric Shop tradition into the next generation.
We offer our hearty congratulations to the whole LaValley family. We couldn't be more proud.
If you're in New Hampshire, be sure to stop by Bittersweet Fabric Shop.
Notepad Cover
Simple sewn projects can brighten any chore - even grocery shopping!
Little notepads are great for jotting down your thoughts, keeping track of things to do, or writing up the weekly shopping list. But a boring notebook in your bag is no fun.
Find some cute fabric, and whip up our Nifty Notepad Cover. Just a few simple seams turn a regular notepad into a fashion accessory. Make one to brighten up your chores, then make a few more for gifts. Super quick and easy!
You can make this with basic sewing skills and any Janome sewing machine.
Serger Smarts: Color Combinations
Can't find the perfect color for your project? Make your own!
Have you ever wanted a variegated metallic thread but couldn't find the right color combination? How about creating your own thread color?
A thread palette, or thread blender, can be used for feeding more than one thread through a looper. This simple tool allows you to join a number of strands into a single thread.
Just setting your various spools behind the serger will work as well, but make sure the spools are stable and won't get caught on anything. Use a metallic thread along with a regular polyester serger thread or a decorative thread in the upper looper to give a glitzy look to the final stitch.
You can create your own color combinations using any Janome serger.
Make the following adjustments to create your own customized thread color:
- Left Needle (size 14)– 4
- Upper Looper – 5 (Feed threads as if they were just one thread through all the thread guides and the tension disk)
- Lower Looper - 4
- Stitch Length – 3
- Differential Feed – 1.0
- Engage Stitch Finger for Standard Serging
- Adjust the lower looper tension slider to "RH"
Janome Heritage: First Programmable Computer Machine MEMORY 7
It was the first home sewing machine with computerized stitch combinations.
The year was 1979. Y.M.C.A. was a huge hit for The Village People. The Muppet Movie made the Top 10. And those Famolare shoes with the wavy soles were all the rage.
It was a big year for sewing too. Because in 1979 Janome introduced the first programmable, computer sewing machine, the MEMORY 7 Model 5001.
For the first time, you could combine multiple decorative stitches to create your own custom stitch pattern. It also introduced the Turn Over Memory (TOM) function, which allowed you to sew mirror images of the stitch patterns.
The MEMORY 7 had 26 stitches, including a memory buttonhole. After you'd finished sewing one buttonhole, the machine remembered the dimensions and could sew identical buttonholes repeatedly.
It had other futuristic features--like when you selected a stitch, the machine would automatically set the length, width and sewing speed. You could also adjust them manually. At a time when few homes had PCs, computerization in a sewing machine was remarkable.
As a sewing machine, the MEMORY 7 was very sturdy with excellent power and stitch quality. Many are still being sewn on today.
If you're looking for Janome's most advanced computerized sewing machine today, we'd recommend the Memory Craft 11000 Special Edition.
Video: Attaching Ribbon With The Ribbon-Sequin Foot
Easily attach ribbon using decorative stitches.
A ribbon accent can really add a terrific finish to a throw pillow, a jacket, quilt squares, or any other project you can think of. And Janome has a presser foot for your sewing machine that makes sewing on ribbon quick and easy.
This versatile accessory is called the Ribbon/Sequin Foot, because in addition to ribbon it allows you to attach sequins and elastic. It's a snap on foot that attaches to your machine in seconds. At the front is a slot with an adjusting screw, which allows you to move the ribbon side-to-side in relation to the needle.
To attach ribbon, you simply cut the end of your ribbon at an angle, feed it through the slot, pull a little out the back, make sure your fabric is lined up, and start sewing slowly.
You can use any running stitch on your machine, including decorative stitches.
Also, you don't have to just sew in a straight line. You can sew your ribbon on in curves. Just gentle curve your fabric as you feed it. The possibilities are endless.
To see how easy it is, watch the Ribbon/Sequin Foot Video: Attaching Ribbon.
This foot works with 1/4" and 1/8" ribbon and is compatible with most Janome sewing machines.
Janome Poll Results: Oops! Now What Did I Do?!
Mistakes are valuable, if you can learn from them.
We've all been there. At some point in your sewing project you suddenly realize that something has gone very wrong. Last week we asked you to vote on our poll question: What's Been Your Biggest Sewing Mistake?
As you can see from the results a lot of our readers have sewn pieces on the wrong way. That's easily remedied with the seam ripper. Some other mistakes you admitted to are a little harder to fix.
As the famous scientist Niels Bohr said, "An expert is a person who has made all the mistakes that can be made in a very narrow field."
Hopefully, you're well on your way to becoming a sewing expert. See the results to the poll.
New Project: Colorful Roll-Up Crayon Keeper
This project is a perfect way to use up your favorite colorful scraps.
It's so hard to part with those itty bitty scraps you love, but often just as hard to find projects they are right for! This adorable crayon keeper is the perfect solution. Not only do you get to use some of your fave fabric scraps, you also get to make a fun project that can help teach a little one his/her colors.
Each colorful pocket holds a coordinating crayon. It lays flat when your little artist is working, then rolls up into a tiny bundle to drop into your purse or tote when you're on the go.
Our thanks to Kaitlin Witte co-author of thread & bobbin for sharing this project. You can see more of Kaitlin's projects at her website!
Making the Crayon Keeper takes intermediate sewing skills. You can complete it on any Janome sewing machine.
Take Our Janome Poll: What's Been Your Biggest Sewing Mistake?
It's usually not funny at the time. But sharing our mistakes is a great way to learn.
Just about everybody who sews has made a major mistake on a project. Sometimes it's because of inexperience, sometimes it's just a momentary lapse in thinking, and sometimes... you just can't explain it.
Take a moment to recall one of your big mistakes and then vote in our multiple choice poll. (Once you've voted you can follow a link back to this page.)

Our newest creative serger stitch is called the "Backside Blanket Stitch." The blanket stitch is a favorite for appliqué, because the stitch is constructed to hold the appliqué in place while finishing the edges of the appliqué fabric. You can find a traditional blanket stitch on many Janome sewing machines, including the Memory Craft 6300 and the Horizon (the Horizon offers a wide range of blanket stitch variations!).
In the past, this special stitch was only available on more advanced sergers, like the 1100D and 1200D. With our adjustment guide, however, you can adjust any serger stitch to create this versatile effect simply and quickly.
The Backside Blanket Stitch creates a blanket stitch on the underside of the fabric (on the bottom as you sew). It's great for edging fleece, felt, or any heavier fabric. You can create it using regular polyester serger thread. Make the following adjustments to set up for this fun and easy finishing stitch:
- Right Needle (use size 14) - 5
- Upper Looper - 1
- Lower Looper - 9
- Stitch Length - 4-5
- Engage stitch finger for Standard Serging
- Adjust the cutting blade one full turn to move the blade further to the right.
Video: Using The Free Motion Foot On The Open-Toe Quilt Set
This foot's open design makes it easier to see your thread as you free motion stitch.
The Open-Toe Quilt Set (high shank) is a sewing machine presser foot set that includes the Open-toe Walking foot with Quilt Guide and the Open-Toe Darning foot.
You might think that something called a "darning foot" would be designed to make garment repairs. You can use this foot for that if you really want to, but it was designed for doing free motion stitching on quilts and other projects.
To see this foot used to fill in a quilt square with free motion stippling, watch Open Toe Quilt Set (high shank) Video: Using the Free Motion Foot.
The same video clip also shows you how to use the Open-Toe Darning Foot for doing thread painting. After you've appliquéd a design to your fabric, you go over the design with coordinating thread colors to accent the areas you want to emphasize.
The Open-Toe Quilt Set (high shank) is compatible with high shank sewing machines such as the Memory Craft 11000 Special Edition, Memory Craft 9700, Memory Craft 6600P, and the new Horizon MC7700 QCP.
