Amy, I can't wait to see the whole thing! I have that Riley Blake fabric and love it!ReplyDelete
This is going to be a gorgeous quilt when it is finished! Also love your scenery photos. I just wanted to say thank-you for your binding tutuorial. I used it yesterday for doing the binding on my 3rd quilt. I always battled with how to join up the 2 ends of the binding and your tutorial have now shown me how to do it properly. I LOVE your blog!! :)ReplyDelete

Really cute quilt, Amy! And I love your leaves - at least they are colorful! I'm surrounded by two acres of trees whose leaves turn dry brown and fall off! I have one little maple tree in the corner that bravely struggles to pop some red into the picture...... ;-)ReplyDelete

AcK!!...did I just say that?:p Heheh!
I love that fabric! BTW -- your husband and daughter were in my ward today. I didn't have a chance to say "hi" or introduce myself as a stalker or anything. I did, however, tell your MIL that I'm a huge fan!ReplyDelete
Eeek! So cute! I can't wait to see the finished quilts!ReplyDelete
Cute quilt, but those photos are fabulous. We don't get much color here in SO CAL so these are great to share and enjoy.ReplyDelete
Thank you!

Thank you so much for your comments - they make my day! I try to respond to as many as my 'mommy' time allows, but life sometimes gets in the way. Please know how much I appreciate each of them.
I apologize for the current comment settings that require a registered user account. They are the only way that I don't get tons of gross spam. I'm hoping Blogger will make a way where people who are not registered users, but would like to leave a comment can do so. Please, Blogger! In the mean time, thanks for your patience.
I also love to respond to questions. If you are a no-reply blogger, please leave an email address so I can get back to you. Or you can email me directly: amy @ diaryofaquilter.com. Thanks!

Good morning forum!
In developing insight in the practice as phenomenon rise and cease I have been taught to attend to it using the "noting / mantra" device as a means of making an objective awareness of the object arising. I have become aware of the impermance presented in the rising and falling of phenomenon, however when developing insight and attending to objects as they arise how is discernment to see the sequence from which it is arising from procured?
For instance a feeling of frustration (dissatisfaction) with friend A arises: logistically I can state that it rises sequentially suffering -> ... -> nama-rupa (I am still understanding beyond nama-rupa (consciousness, etc). However, in my meditation practice in regards to my disatisfaction with friend A upon attending to it objectively how am I able to pierce and attain insight that the dissatisfaction ultimately arises from ignorance and unfetter myself from it? In other words, logistically one can state any fact, but empirically one does not know it (does that make sense?).
Currently, and perhaps right concentration & view still need to be developed further, there seems to be a fine line in attending to my objects and falling prey to unmindful engagement. Also, what arises often can cease rather quickly in my mindfulness practice:
In breath, out breath, dissatisfaction with friend A arises, disliking, disliking, disliking, dissatisfaction with friend A ceases, in breath, out breath... etc. I recognize that what arises always ceases, but where and how in the practice does one attend and contemplate objects objectively and insightfully --- ultimately discerning the sequence in which it arises? In the end, how is the dhamma properly observed? How is it that the sequence from which suffering arises from observed in practice?

Difference between java and javaw executable commands
difference between java.exe and javaw.exe commands was the recent java question asked to one of my friend. while running java program on windows you might have noticed that they will appear in task manager as either java.exe or javaw.exe, also in JAVA_HOME/bin we see these two java commands java.exe and javaw.exe, do you know difference between java.exe and javaw.exe ? surprisingly not many java programmer know answer of this java interview question, may be because java developers has not paid enough attention to these commands. any way here we will see few differences between java and javaw commands:
Both java.exe and javaw.exe can execute java programs including jar file, only difference is that with java.exe you have a console executed and you need to wait until your java program finishes to run any other command on the other hand in case of javaw.exe no console or window is associated with execution.
you can run your java program either by using java.exe or javaw.exe. Its suggested to use javaw.exe when you don't need command line window to appear. javaw launcher will display in error in a dialog box if execution fails.
In summary main difference between java and javaw command is that with java.exe you will get a command prompt window but with javaw.exe there is no command prompt windows associated.

java.exe can be used when you want to output text or input text from console. if you are using swing application to launch than javaw.exe is better choice just like Netbeans, Eclipse or any other java swing application.

I'm an old java1.0.2 programmer.
javaw.exe was used to run applets*.
java.exe was used to run classes with a "main" method.
So easy. Any platform.
java.applet.Applet from the AWT GUI libraries.
Swing appears few years later...

Esteban Gutierrez and Valtteri Bottas will both start their seasons with grid penalties for gearbox changes.
Putting in the laps in Saturday's final practice for the Australian Grand Prix, Gutierrez stuttered on his second lap out of the pits.
With his Sauber E22 stuck in between gears, he lost drive and coasted to a stop only to be able to get it going.
However, returning to the pits that's where his session ended as Sauber set about changing his gearbox.
As for Bottas, he also managed just two laps before heading back into the pits for a new gearbox.
Under this year's regulations all gearboxes need to last six grand prix weekends otherwise the driver incurs a five-place grid penalty.

Hi B.O.B.!
I've been following you since early days, and I'm very happy when I remember the first time I saw you performing live. I'm from Barcelona (Spain), but I travelled from Barcelona to Detroit to see Eminem performing the 2nd September, 2010. When I arrived to the stadium and I saw you, I felt like this was going to be the best night in my life. You made us enjoy and sing all your songs during more than an hour. Thank you for your music, each of your songs is the best present that we, your fans, could ever receive. Maybe I won't be chosen to have this camera, but I will have your music. Thanks for not only being a great rapper, but also a great person.
That camera is Epic! I need it. I'll take some pictures of shooting stars, on a Saturday night. Shout out to Jay Parks!
I lovveee b.o.b! I have every single song by him and every single song feat him too! I would kill to have anything signed by him:]]] congrats on the Nomination
Saw B.o.B when he opened for Eminem and Jay-Z in Detroit on the first night. I was one of only a couple people around my group that even had any idea who he was.
Saw you again last year when you performed at the Newport in Columbus for The Ohio State University. Unfortunately I wasn't able to box out enough people to get the signed shoe that you threw out into the crowd. But I could accept this autograph as a consolation present for the depression I suffered from not being able to grab that shoe!
Keep up the great work, been waiting since the release of your first for your second album to drop!
I want it so much ! This is just what I want for christmas and if I could get it wih a B.O.B's autograph, it'll be great !
Wow, I "Bet I" could take pictures of "Strange Clouds" with this next summer when "I'll Be In The Sky" working in our french "Airplanes" company. I've been a huge fan for so long, "Don't Let Me Fall" B.o.B. ! ;)
I love this camera and plus it's signed by Bobby Ray too....oOooOOwWWwEeEe feeling like my lucky day ;)
B.o.B The Grammys better give you a Grammy your the illest!! love yaaa ...i want that camera so bad it would be the best xmas present ever!!! #teambobbyray

As banks continue to recover slowly from the downturn of 2008, they have been reluctant to take risks on borrower character without measurable collateral. This is especially true in the face of relentless regulatory pressure to increase capital ratios, a legacy of commercial real estate and housing loans and heightened regulatory scrutiny of loan portfolios. Thus, they become caught up in a low-margin, competitive fight for borrowers with sterling track records and impeccable credit, while many promising enterprises are denied funding because they do not fit the loan profile.
For this reason, banks are increasingly looking to cross-sell other products, like financial services and insurance, to augment their bread-and-butter loan business, providing both increased revenue and more stable, long-term customer relationships.
Vested Clients Mean Higher Profits
It is a well-known marketing truism that acquiring a customer can be 10 times more expensive than retaining one. Thus, it is much easier to sell an additional product to an existing customer than to a prospect because of the established relationship, experience and level of trust.
Even so, it can be much trickier to deal in financial products, especially in this environment. For instance, many customers are wary of consolidating all their assets into one bank. Maintaining relationships with multiple banks, some commercial and everyday customers believe, reduces their risks or gives them leverage when seeking a loan, a refinance or another bank product.
Banks, on the other hand, see those with multiple products as being more likely to be long-term, profitable customers. While this makes cross-sell strategy a Holy Grail of sorts these days, successfully executing it is not as easy as it seems.
Financial Product Cross-Sell Best Practices. In a report titled Teleconference 2011: Solving the Cross-Sell Imperative, Forrester Research provided some insight into why some cross-sell strategies fail. According to its findings, an institution must be dedicated to the cross-sell strategy from within and be structurally prepared to execute it in order to achieve success. Here are some of Forresters key findings:
Contextual Selling. Banks should recommend relevant financial products at the right time and through the appropriate channel, such as initiating cross-sell during the application process.
Effective Pricing. When examining the different motivators behind vesting multiple financial products with one institution, favorable pricing (i.e., breaks on interest rates and fee) won out over things such as free services.
Supported Internally. You must have institutional buy-in to make your cross-sell strategy a success. Executing it could require changes in institutional culture, resources, metrics and planning. For example, most banks do not rate their marketing performances by customer retention. However, customer retention, products per customer and increases in product vesting should all be examined on a regular basis and tied to employee performance reviews.
Another issue is that many institutions operate under a siloed structure, with each department having its own financial, marketing and strategic goals. Even if this structure remains, they all must cooperate, sharing in the expense, execution and reward of cross-selling.
For example, if relationship pricing is part of an institutions cross-sell strategy, some checking account fees could be waved when a customer has a credit card. This would require checking account group to be willing to give up some of its revenue in order to offer this benefit. All groups need to collaborate and understand that revenue forgone actually is made back tenfold by retention, through increased customer interactions and additional product sales.
Leveraging a Unique Cross-Sell Opportunity
An example of a new insurance product that provides a clear cross-sell opportunity for commercial loan customers is personal guarantee insurance. Given the tight credit conditions today, even businesses with established operating history and profitability face a higher hurdle for approval. And in most instances, a business owner is required to sign a personal guarantee as a condition of loan approval, putting hard-won assets like homes and bank accounts on the line.
This nearly universal requirement of a PG for SMB borrowers, combined with their reluctance to sign it, creates a perfect opportunity for lenders to refer them to the banks agency. The vehicle for this referral, PGI, is an insurance policy that protects against personal asset loss in the event a PG is called. As noted earlier, one of the key tenants of successful cross-selling is to recommend the right product at the right time during the buying cycle. Offering PGI after a lending officer has asked the borrower to sign a PG makes for a strong contextual appeal. Banks that have the ability to offer their own insurance products now have a unique opportunity to:
This new-product opportunity is a rare example of how the economic downturn has led to the creation of something that helps all parties. Business owners benefit by decreasing their personal risk; banks improve customer relationships and further secure commercial loans against loss; and bank-owned agencies have a new tool in their cross-sell arsenal to help offset loan revenue declines.
A New Way to Sell
Because changes in the market have forced banks to re-examine their products, strategies and tactical initiatives, maximizing revenue per customer is now the mantra. This can be easier for some than others. Larger institutions have the resources to offer a wide variety of products to match and meet their financial needs. Small to mid-sized financial banks need to take a more calculated, targeted and tailored approach to their cross-sell strategies. The most important thing is getting to know their customers and what best suits them.
Given all of that, PGI is a right time, right place product for banks, their commercial clients and insurance providers, helping borrowers to mitigate risk while institutions can secure new loan and premium income and enhance customer loyalty.

With two penalties handed down - one rather controversially - the US Grand Prix grid is rather different the timesheets after qualifying.
Two drivers, Felipe Massa and Romain Grosjean, have been hit with grid penalties for gearbox changes.
But while Grosjean's was legitimate, Ferrari opened to break the seal on Massa's in order to put Fernando Alonso on the clean side of the grid.
So Alonso is starting P7, Grosjean is P8 and Massa is P11. But, perhaps more importantly, Sebastian Vettel is starting from pole position.

AP Sports Writer
Even before Jason Collins, plenty of other athletes around the world have come out as gay, either while still active or in retirement.
From Martina Navratilova to Greg Louganis to Sheryl Swoopes, men and women from a variety of sports have openly acknowledged their sexuality, though many others are believed to still be reluctant to come forward.
Collins, a 34-year-old NBA veteran, became the first active player in the four major American professional sports to come out as gay, writing a first-person account posted on Sports Illustrated's website Monday. Collins has played for six teams in 12 seasons, including this past season with the Washington Wizards, and is now a free agent.
"It is hugely powerful when any individual in the sports world, wherever they come from in the world, feels able to come out," said Ruth Hunt, deputy chief executive of the British gay rights organization Stonewall. "The fact that this is a current player adds to the strength of his statement."
Previously, some pro sports athletes waited until after quitting to say they were gay, including former NBA player John Amaechi and former NFL running back Dave Kopay. English soccer player Justin Fashanu committed suicide in 1998, eight years after coming out during his playing career.
Amaechi, a center who played five seasons with four teams, became the first NBA player to publicly come out in 2007, three years after the Englishman's playing career was over. He said Collins spoke with him before deciding to come out and called his decision "ground-breaking" and one that could encourage other gay athletes to follow suit.
"I'm getting tons of messages right now from people talking to me about him, about what he's done," Amaechi told The Associated Press. "I've spoken to a couple of college athletes in the States and a couple of high school athletes who are very good who have been immensely buoyed by this news.
"They feel a weight lifted off them even if they aren't out and they aren't going to come out at this point."
Sports leagues in Britain and elsewhere in Europe have been trying to combat anti-gay bias. But the taboo remains particularly strong in soccer, where there are no openly gay players in Europe's top leagues. Homophobic chants still occur at some games.
"Football is not going to change," Amaechi said. "If it wanted to change it would change. It has the resources to do so. It doesn't want to change."
Amaechi said he has been in touch with soccer players, including in the English Premier League, who are gay but are not ready to go public.
"Many of them are out already," he said. "They are out in the way that most people are out in that people they love and that people who care about them know that they are gay. But random strangers don't know that they are gay."
Fashanu remains the only top-level British soccer player to have come out publicly, acknowledging he was gay in 1990. The former Nottingham Forest and Norwich City striker was found hanged in a London garage at age 37.
According to an inquest, Fashanu left a note saying, because he was gay, he feared he wouldn't get a fair trial in the United States on sexual assault charges. Maryland police were seeking him on charges that he sexually assaulted a 17-year-old boy after a party at his apartment.
Robbie Rogers, a former U.S. national team player who played for Leeds in England's second-tier division last season, went public in February that he was gay, saying on his personal website that "I realized I could only truly enjoy my life once I was honest." He also said he was retiring from the sport.
Anti-gay sentiment in soccer has been expressed in different ways.
Last year, Italy forward Antonio Cassano said he hoped there were no homosexual players on the national team and used a derogatory word to describe gays. Fans of two-time defending Russian champion Zenit St. Petersburg signed a petition saying gay players were "unworthy of our great city." Marcello Lippi, Italy's World Cup winning manager, caused a stir in 2009 when he said he had never come across a gay player and would advise gay players to stay in the closet.
"The NBA is light years ahead of football, there is no doubt about that," Amaechi said.
In the U.S., Kopay, who played for five NFL teams over 10 years, was the first pro athlete to acknowledge his homosexuality publicly when he came out in 1977 after retiring, and wrote a book about it.
