Technology for a Tuesday
I love me my technology, but I think I am reaching a saturation point. I say this as I am hooked on my Mahjong app and spend way more time than I should. So much has changed since I bought my first computer (Apple GS2) in 1989 – minus a hard drive because I didn't need one. Years of carrying floppy discs and then their smaller brothers. But I think I am at my limit of devices. I don't use all the capability of a smartphone – I still want it to be a phone. I did have to get a new external drive to back up everything on the iMac. Last time I did that was three years ago on a different computer, so I had to buy a new one – a terabyte, which I'm sure 3 years ago wasn't planned.
Because of the novel and the digital work, I can't afford to lose stuff. I still don't completely understand the cloud, but I know if there's a fire, I grab the external hard drive and I have my computer files. This has led me to try and understand more about managing files and the cloud and storage and disaster preparation. Once again I can turn to the internet to see what's available and inform myself.
I'm the IT gal – I still find it interesting sales people talk to hubby when I'm the one with the questions. The Apple store Genius Bar can usually answer all my questions. So I'm not sure I need a company for IT….but I've been investigating disaster recovery, like with Calisto (http://calitso.com/).
This intrigues me, because I'm of the generation that has most of those forms in paper and in a metal lock-box. But it's worth thinking about a different storage system.
Now I will never be a big player online, even though we've been selling through the internet since 1998 (makes us ancient). But that doesn't mean I can't be knowledgeable. FileCloud (http://filecloud.pro/) brought up an interesting point…..
Why would I want to store information offshore? Canadian readers, you're all set. I need to do more research on storing within the US….now to pack the chargers and assorted cords for the devices as we go on the road to visit friends and family in northern Arizona….and batteries, too…..
Still Packing…..LARGE Moving Sale!!
Oy, we are in the midst of serious boxes…and packing. A little each day, sort and clean and plan ahead. Lots going into the recycling can! We do not know what we will have for accommodations on the other end, but we anticipate it will be considerably smaller space. We are looking into some of the senior living communities in Chittenden County, of which there are many,. We are on the waiting list for several – the one we would like has a two-year waiting list, and we've been on the list since this past September. Trust the universe – it worked out perfectly for our last move!
Once again I can turn to the internet to check out what accommodations are like for senior living around the country – and Canada, should we decide to go even further north and east. If nothing else, we get great ideas on possible amenities and questions to ask. For example: Wallace Living (http://wallaceliving.ca/)- a place in Nova Scotia – an area we are seriously contemplating. Since it will be COLD next winter, it's nice to see that a lot of complexes are including all utilities.
AND NOW - for the SALE!!

Algebra Unit: Exponential Relationships
Brief note: a time-out from art-related items to post an assignment for a Coursera class for assessment by peers.
Unit: Exponential Relationships
9th grade, but 8th graders are welcome!
Investigation 1: Exponential Growth
Welcome to our new unit in Connected Math, Exponential Relationships! We have five different investigations, and you will find yourself doing a lot of comparisons of exponential relationships with linear relationships. (Told you linear would never go away!) You can see an overview of the unit by clicking on the link above to see the parent information letter. DO NOT WAIT TO GET YOUR NEW UNIT BOOK from your district office – you don't want to get behind!!
Here are two key pieces we will focus on:
- * Is the relationship between variables an example of exponential growth or decay? Why?
- • How can this relationship be detected in a table, graph, or equation? What is the growth factor?
- • What table, graph, or equation would model the data or the pattern in a graph relating the variables?
- • How could I answer questions about an exponential situation by studying a table, a graph, or an equation of the exponential relationship?
- • How does this exponential relationship compare to other relationships between variables I have studied?
- You will need: scissors and a sheet of paper (regular paper is fine, and you might be happier with a blank sheet)
- Your journal for record-keeping, notes, and solving problems
- A new anchor chart for vocabulary on a separate page in your journal – use a stickie tab on the page for easy reference to it.
- [Reference for peer readers on anchor charts - http://www.julieballew.com/A_Literate_Life/Photos/Pages/Anchor_Charts.html. Students will have other samples, since what I use I cannot share publicly (only in a classroom/online teaching setting) because of proprietary agreement with past employer)].
14. Continue working on homework problems for this investigation: Practice problems on page 11 – 18: Everyone do #1-14, and then 3 others of your choice. Everyone do #33 – 38. (Due at the end of the week.)
- HS.F-LE.A.1a. Distinguish between situations that can be modeled with linear functions and with exponential functions.
- HS.F-LE.A.1b. Prove that linear functions grow by equal differences over equal intervals, and that exponential functions grow by equal factors over equal intervals.
Mathematical Practice Standards:
- 1. Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them.
- 2. Reason abstractly and quantitatively.
- 3. Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others.
- 4.Model with mathematics.
- 5.Use appropriate tools strategically.
- 6.Attend to precision.
- 7.Look for and make use of structure.
- 8.Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning.

The Latest Finish…..Best to Date!
This is the "before." Nice and flat, virtually no texture. I remember when I went to Road to California a couple of years, I noticed everything was machine-quilted within an inch of itself. Both hubby and I thought, just because you can doesn't mean you should fill it up with machine quilting.
That was before I started with the 2012 free motion quilting challenge with SewCalGal and got hooked…..I'm talking seriously hooked. Now it's not about the quilt top for me, it's about the quilting. There are seven different quilted motifs in this quilt, and I LOVE IT! It is so much more interesting than if I had just done quilting in the ditch and stippling. Yes, at least 10 hours of fmq in the quilt, and a lot of bobbin thread, but did I say I LOVE IT?
So here are some of the "after" pictures. For some reason the blue wave fabric looks to be black and white, and it isn't. I used Superior Silk Kimono thread in the triangle backgrounds, the outside black border, and the final border. Magnifico by Superior for the bubbled in the corner triangles, Rainbows by Superior in the border of blue waves, and Bottom Line by Superior in the bobbin and in the black backgrounds of the stars. I guess you could say I really like Superior Threads….
I LOVE THIS! I used the color adjustments in Photoshop to try and bring back the blues – this is pretty true to the actual colors. The maroon strips in the center are done in a cathedral square pattern. I gridded all the light blue triangles for the texture – I was only going to do the center panel but I fell in love with the effect. The bottom light blue triangles are done with a MAgnifico blue thread in bubbles – I was aiming for a stars at night over the ocean effect.
The ironic thing here in this picture is the bottom right corner is the one I picked out all the thread on – what I call the "war-zone" corner. The blue stars themselves have bubbles quilted into the with a Rainbows blue.
The wave fabric here has one of Leah Day's fillers in it called Ocean Currents. I happened to be on her blog one day and said yup, that's the one.
This quilt is for my yoga instructor, and so in one corner I did a free-motion "third eye" chakra symbol.
Now for the back….WHICH I LOVE LOVE LOVE – the texture is amazing!!
Note to self – time for some smaller quilts……….
Top Ten Tuesday
Yes, I am anxiously awaiting spring – not so much here in the desert southwest, but as we travel back to New England in May, I'll be seeing lots of what is "spring" to me. Color and lush greens – can't wait!
In the meantime, I've been busy packing, doing photography of quilts, lots of loose ends, visiting the Saguaro National Monument to partake of cactus spring, working on some online classes about teaching online, and planning new art projects. As usual I'm finding lots of things on line for enjoyment or research.
The first is a glass artist, Jack Storms…..work is absolutely AMAZING!
Speaking of photography, because the work in that video is amazing, I peruse a lot of sites of phtographers. One I have enjoyed over the years and have come back to as a result of our trip to Yosemite, is that of Galen Rowell and Mountain Light. I bought a collection of postcards of his images during one visit to the Smithsonian and have loved his work. Enjoy!
Perusing photography sites gives me lots of ideas as I do more with my little camera. After the move, one of the items on my list is a new camera, a SLR so I can get really serious, but I will say my little point and shoot has given lots of material to play with digital manipulation. So when I see a site belonging to a photographer, I tend to check it out. On The Wright House Photography site, www.thewrighthousephotography.com/, I love that she bought her childhood home and now uses it as a studio. I am amazed at how photography sessions have taken on a specialized feel: engagements, maternity…….I'm used to someone just snapping pictures, and now I love getting new ideas!
there's another photography site I found with a "digital evangelist." Interesting term……She's with Adobe, so I'm guessing she's quite skilled….
From The Millions comes a timely article for those of you who write fiction – sketching out plot lines and characters, which I had to do with this first novel in the trilogy. I was glad to see that I intuited what had to be done.
I am a sucker when it comes to motivational education messages. Here's one from a teacher who wants his students to hear what he has to say. Powerful.
Those of you who have been following this blog for a long time know I'm interested in licensing, and I read a lot about it, more so now that I can steer people in the right direction who are thinking about licensing. As with photography, I tend to surf a lot of sites dealing with licensing. Innovative Licensing and Promotion (http://2innovative.net/) had some ideas I hadn't thought of, and I like to think I go outside the box. This is a sample of what they offer. I'm intrigued and plan to study more.
I haven't done any posting of great unusual pics in a while, so here are some from BrainJet.
Because a move is imminent, and we don't know where we will be living, we are looking at places in the Burlington/Chittenden County are of Vermont. Hubby is hooked on Rehab Addict, and we've often thought if we were younger and had the money, we'd like to rehab a place. We've lived in a couple that would have been great for This Old House. But when we were young we didn't have the money…now we're older and still don't have the money, but now the knees are bad! Still, it's fun to consider rehabbing a place. He's surfing one day and discovers a business that does renovations. I Love Renovations (http://iloverenovations.ca/) has a whole slew of articles on what to look for if you are undertaking renovations on your own. Found a great article from their blog on getting your place ready for fall and winter…..which we may have to do again!
Movin' Movin' Movin' – Keep that Packing Movin'
(Admit it…if you're of a certain generation, you hummed along to the title……)
Ah, moving. We've been in Tucson nearly 21 years (it will be exactly 21 years the day after we leave town), and we have moved 9 times within the city. Different kind of packing as opposed to cross-country. To move here, hubby came out several months ahead of time, and I finished packing. It seemed like I would NEVER finish with boxes. This time for the major move, we have already started the packing, despite my wanting to wait until the beginning of April so I wouldn't feel like I was living in boxes…no such luck. Once the urge hit, we started – BUT I am saving the studio for the second week in April – I still have a quilt to go for my great-niece.
In 21 years moving has changed a lot going cross-country, so we set out to do our research. Age and bad backs and other assorted maladies have eliminated U Haul and most any major packing ourselves. Since the internet has just about everything on it, we decided to just shop around movers and moving companies. It cost us $4000 last cross-c0untry move, and we wanted to keep expenses in the same range, even though we know movers would be more.
So we started shopping around for pricing. Thing is, things have changed so much. we weren't really quite sure what to ask. So we checked out a couple cross-country movers, just to get an idea of what all was involved. Since we're moving back to New England, we didn't neglect Canadian movers. Titan Transline (http://titantransline.com/) is actually in the southwest. We used them to see about questions we should ask: like full load, partial load….we just assumed we would be paying for a whole truck, and we are divesting ourselves of a lot of bulky items. We are still investigating, but we are going into this whole move with far more information than we ever had…and we've moved 22 times since we've been married (39 years).
If you want more information on places we have lived, I remember a year or so back doing a blog post, using Google Earth, to look at various places I have lived. It was cool two summers ago to actually revisit some of these places. And…some of the places no longer exit….like the teacher cottages in Paia on Maui. They have saved one as a historical museum….wonder if all the termites are still there……You can check the post out here.
So it's back to some of the many loose ends involved in a big move – changing our basic email, since Cox is not in Vermont, cleaning out old passwords – today's task is to get the code book up to date, as well as revise parts of the website – long time since I've done that. Happy Monday!!
Meditative Rippit……
See that bottom left light blue triangle? Eight hours later, I have learned a couple of new lessons. One, there is something to be said for trying out a motif on scrap fabric and batting. Two ripping out teeny tiny threads can actually be meditative…..
That said, those bottom triangles were going to have a different pattern along the top and bottom. I was thinking a type of lotus blossom (a variation for me on a feather) with smaller feathers inside each petal. Because at this point I wanted a little relief from all the blue. I thought it needed some more color…..I was wrong, at least with the color I chose. I should have stopped after the first petal, rather than completing the triangle…..a lot of my decisions look way better after they are finished. But I was still wrong….maybe if I had left it all in the shiny blue….but it was still wrong. So I knew I had to take it out.
Were the quilt for me, I would have just put it aside until I felt like dealing with it. But no, it's for my yoga instructor, and I want to get it finished before we have to dismantle the studio for the move. So I started with the seam ripper….three hours Wednesday night, music in the background….the petals were easy in the Magnifico thread – just slid out. NOT SO the feathers…..teeny tiny……three hours Thursday, three hours Friday (yes, a lot of tiny stitches, many on top of each other), and today after 20 minutes I was finished, with two very sore fingers for my efforts.
The fabric looks kind of like a war zone – it's 16 years old after all, and nothing like that left in my stash – or I could have ironed on a replacement triangle and then quilted that. But the bubble stitching will hold it together, as long as the cats done find a few loose threads of the fabric. And the whole bottom looks much much better. Now for the triangles along the top, and then into the borders……I have to remind myself to plan ahead and if I want to do something fancy, try it ahead of time……..even if rippit is fairly meditative…….
Top Ten Tuesday
Lots of items bookmarked and ready to show you. I so love all the things you can learn online – and all the places you can go!
First up, The Trouble with Bright Girls – being one, as well as teaching many of them, I can relate to this article. We need to be so careful of the messages we send.
"Researchers have uncovered the reason for this difference in how difficulty is interpreted, and it is simply this: more often than not, bright girls believe that their abilities are innate and unchangeable, while bright boys believe that they can develop ability through effort and practice."
Animals playing around – gotta watch!
The art of Jim Dingilian – filling a bottle with smoke and creating art!
I'm always looking at business sites and mentoring opportunities for my own marketing. Came across Gary's site and am thinking about buying the book as gifts for two friends looking to start small businesses. Check out Gary Bizzo – www.garybizzo.com.
Also in marketing, a new site I found on line for printing – looks like quality work, and they're in Canada, which is great when I move to Vermont! PrintingPeach at http://printingpeach.com.
Absolutely LOVE this close-up of the creation of a Dior bag – amazing!
This next poster is really cool, even if you don't understand all of it! Science and art together!!
10 Mathematical Equations that Changed the World – fascinating, again even if you don't understand all the math.
You know I love math – The Magic of Fibonacci!
Once again, science, art and math – Dance on the Circle.
Till next time, enjoy the web!!
Monday Marketing – fer real…..
Marketing is taking on a different feel, what with the big move coming up the end of April. We are planning a large tray marbling session the end of February, for specific orders and also to load the Etsy shop for a bit. So I need to get a newsletter done and out. I am beginning to research guilds and shops in New England and the mid-Atlantic for marbled presentations – would love to work out one a quarter. That said, I need to look at marketing materials. I have a couple of places I've used, but I like to have a wide variety, especially since many of the online resources do good sales.
As a side note – I finished my NOVEL! Now it's time to activate the site for the novel and all things related to it. So this becomes a priority, as well as my digital work initially for art, and to that end I am looking at some new ways to market. What's nice is I am planning that whatever print materials I need, I will need them for both the book and the artwork. So I've been searching the web looking for sites that offer printing. I stumbled on this one today, and I want to put it out there for you to check out. Sometimes it just helps to have back-ups and new sites to use. Printing Peach(http://printingpeach.ca/flyer-printing/) is both in the US and Canada, so that is nice, given we will be two hours from the Canadian border! Check it out and let me know what you think, especially if you've used them! Here's a sample of what they'll do:
Concerning the digital work, one of the "must-do's" before we completely pack up is get a new external hard drive to back up this computer, especially since the hard drive program I had for the old computer (3 years ago….) won't work with this one. So along with have the Apple Store wipe the hard drive tomorrow, I'm picking up 1 terabyte of memory….who knew? I/m going that large because of all the digital work I've done so far, and all the photos, and all the many layers of work – you get the idea. The digital piece is going to become important, so I don't want to lose anything.
It is a glorious day today in the desert Southwest, much like June in Vermont. We are prepared for the snow and cold of January, but there are so many advantages to moving back to a more rational state. The politics of Arizona – and the dwindling water supplies – do not make this a sustainable state. Plus, we're both New Englanders at heart, and I really want to walk the Atlantic coast again. So let the packing begin!!
Ramblings for the Month……..
Lots of thoughts kind of rambling through the head these days, main one is that my novel IS DONE!!! (Insert happy dance!) I've set up a page through webnode.com to talk about various items related to the politics within the novel, as well as things I've discovered in writing fiction. I'll post it when I'm ready to reveal it for comments. In the meantime I have my last round of editing to do, and then it's query letter to literary agents. I rethought the ending at least five times, and then I said start writing and see what happens – let the characters talk to me, like they have been doing the whole time.
Another activity has been planning and packing for our move back east. I need me my four seasons! Since I'm retired, I don't have to go out in the bad weather! We will need to revise how we shop for food, as in the winter months we need to be prepared for days inside. This has all led me to thinking about places to travel in the winter. We may just hop Amtrak to come west during a cold January. I've started surfing, and I stumbled on this site on Costa Rica- a place on my bucket list! One look at this place and I'm ready to pack now! Give me the ocean, water I can admire, some unique things to do, and a great place to hang and I'm there!! Las Ventanas del Mar – the ocean view looks spectacular!
The packing for this cross-country move has been interesting. We are downsizing even more from our previous local moves, planning on replacing some furniture when we find a new apartment. I realized my hutch wasn't important, although I love it – it's the mementos inside from years of being together. Today we donated tools, stationery, and other odds and ends to Live Theater Workshop, which has provided many years of enjoyable theater experiences. The best one to date has been "The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Abridged) Revised." Loads of laughs and great visual gags. All 39 plays in 90 minutes!
All the art stuff – books, supplies, finished pieces – that's what is really important, and they will be packed about two weeks before the move. I don't want to look at empty walls and not be near my sewing machine for too long. Which brings me to another thought – Malcolm Gladwell's 10,000 hours. If you are going to be a professional and really great at something, you need to put in 10,000 hours of practice. I am so far from that! But I will say that the past year has definitely improved my free motion quilting and design skills with the amount of time I've been spending on my art. My days have settled in to a nice routine, and I no longer worry about keeping track of what I accomplish each year during retirement. Yoga, writing, sewing/quilting, sketching with pen and ink, walks – a very nice schedule!
The Hum-Purr of My Machine….
Thank you, Cindy Needham, for talking about the hum-purr your machine makes when you are in the groove! And I have been in the groove this past month – another quilt under the presser foot, this one a 16-year-old top that I am giving to my yoga instructor. I haven't done anything with the top prior to this, because there was an area I really wanted to do feathers in, and I wasn't willing to hand-quilt them. So now that I can do feathers in free-motion, sounds about right to finish this top…..except the area I was thinking really needed something else…..so I did a grid pattern, and I LOVE IT! It makes the traditional top look much more modern.
Below is the quilt being basted – my safety pins have gotten quite the workout in the last few months! The quilt top originally ended with the blue wave border, but it wasn't long enough to cover a chilly body. So I added another black and wine border – lots of ideas for quilting those – and yes, I will have feathers somewhere on this quilt!
Before I started in on this, I continued with the BOM from our local quilt store, four months to catch up on, and I'm pleased with how they look. Based on progress I've made with the amount of sewing over the last couple of months, I would probably do some colors differently in the original blocks. Here's the new ones:
Photography really isn't doing them justice!
I love the green and orange one!
Up after this quilt is a lap quilt for my great-niece who turns 13 in August, and I would like to have it done for when we see them in May. I've made the commitment that all 8 of my great-nieces and great-nephews will get a lap quilt from me when they turn 13. This means lap quilts for the next 11 years…….
Baby Quilt Completed!!
In November I got a package of 8-inch squares from my maid of honor of many years ago. Her daughter was now pregnant, and could I take her work at put it together? I remember Shelby starting these squares the first time we made it back to Vermont in 16 years. Anything for my friend of oh-so-many years!
Kathy and I go way back – and I have promised many times to keep some of our more interesting escapades from her three children (which means a WHOLE LOT of interesting stories are sealed). But I think taking me in the Big Bird costume we built for our play stuffed in the front of my VW for Halloween dinner at KFC is probably pretty harmless. Oh, if only we had digital cameras then……a moment in history gone forever……(and that chicken wire frame did a lot of poking…..)
So on Tuesday I finished the quilt, took pictures, packed it, and shipped it off, where it should be arriving today, two weeks ahead of the baby shower. Here she be -
Shelby wanted an ocean theme, so the blue is an underwater scene, left over from another quilt project. Love this fabric, and in the light it is even more gorgeous. The border is a stencil of fish, and the two empty blocks (which is the only thing I would revisit if I were to do this again) is some free-motion quilting in a blue Fantastico from Superior Threads.
So much fun to do!! Now for the next quilt in line, for my yoga instructor…gotta get it done while it's still cold enough to use!
Four Years Later….January 8…..
…and we have learned nothing. We still kill with guns, we don't deal with mental health issues. Four years ago three of us set up a website to look at the Tucson shootings. Suzan Drury, Anne Lockard (who is gone, but her indomitable spirit is with us every day), and myself to showcase healing art. You can name a hiking trail, a playground, or a new courthouse for one of the victims, but that doesn't bring them back. What happened will always hurt. I have lost customers for Marble-T Design because of my stand on gun control. I am a firm believer in the Constitution – it is a remarkable document. But I also firmly believe that the National Rifle Association has co-opted rationality concerning guns and background checks. Just because "criminals will find a way to get guns anyway" doesn't mean we don't have background checks. And we are so far away from any rational dialogue on this.
But this isn't a rant about gun control, although it very easily could be. Sarah Garrecht Gassen wrote an editorial today in the Arizona Daily Star that talks about how we refer to the victims of the shootings. They are not "lost," they are "taken." Here's an excerpt:
So let's follow Patricia Maisch's lead and be more honest with our language in how we talk about guns. She's the person who got the second clip away from the Tucson shooter before he could reload. She's fought for gun law reform and watched as politicians have failed to stand up to the gun lobby. She hasn't been shy in her disgust, and she speaks for a lot of us.
We talked on Tuesday afternoon. "Time flies whether you're having fun or not. It's always an emotional time of the year. I just think, how unforgivable it is that this could have happened," she said.
Maisch doesn't sugarcoat. She's working diligently for law reforms. But four years in, something that's fused into the sorrow and the anger gnaws at her: how we talk about gun violence.
She's on a mission to change the words. "The horrible takings," is how she talks about the people who have been killed with a gun.
"These people aren't 'lost.' They're never going to be found. They've been taken."
If you would like to see artwork focused on healing, you can visit Art from the Heart. Here's my piece, again controversial. Most of the comments I had was that the shooter was mentally ill, that it wasn't politics that caused him to kill. And thus was ended what could have been a productive dialogue about the state of mental illness and access to guns. I already know some of you will stop becoming readers and customers. Because of this wonderful Constitution of ours, I support your right to do that.
You can read about my thoughts constructing the piece here. Ultimately the processing from the shootings has led to me pondering our lack of ability to discuss issues calmly, and now I have based the first in a series of novels on what happens when we can't – or won't – talk to each other.
One of My Ongoing Projects
Hawaiian Block of the Month from my local quilt shop, Quilter's Market – which I will SO miss when we move this spring…..
This program is a monthly get-together through our local quilt shop, Quilter's Market – one of the things I will definitely miss when we move. The theme for this year is Hawaiian Getaway. I've been keeping up generally with the blocks, but I will confess to being
four five months behind right now – it's those deadlines for other quilts…. Forgive the pics – I was in a hurry…..
I decided after my first block that it was just too intense in color, so I made one that was softer, with more light fabrics. that got me started making two blocks a month, one saturated, and one that was lighter. The shop has what they call an "Oops Pack," for when you make mistakes with the pieces of fabrics you get. I picked up both the light and dark packs, because I really liked the sherbet colors. So instead of 12 blocks at the end of the program, I will have 24. I'm planing to set them on point, with plain blocks in between that I can free-motion. For those I'm planning to use some of my adopted mom's Hawaiian designs. I also really like the work Judy Madsen does (Green Fairy Quilts) with straight-line quilting, so I'm looking forward to designing the motifs.
Amazing how it used to be enjoying making the quilt top, but now I look forward to the quilting oh so much. The goal is to have the blocks done (April is the last month) before I completely pack up the studio for our move. I know it won't get put together until the months after we are settled.
Here goes…..
I confess to being very curious to see what I come up with for the whole quilt – I do know I am very much looking forward to quilting it!
Word(s) for 2015
Usually this time of the year I have my goals all laid out and ready to go. But not this year. I have really slowed down over the past 12 months – some from health, some from depression, and some from just wanting to enjoy every day. That's a real change for me. I am enjoying each day tremendously, so when everyone was choosing their word for the year and posted it, I thought, "Nah, not going to do it this year. I'm content with the way life is going right now."
Last night in bed, I was thinking about "content" and realized I have my word – actually two words – right there. Content with accent on the second syllable, and content, with accent on the first. The more I thought, the more I liked it.
So first, content, with accent on the first syllable. I want content in my life. I want to contribute meaningfully to people and causes this year. I want content in what I read and watch this year. I want content in my actions. I want to create content.
Second, I am content (accent on second syllable). I realized that this past month as I saw just how much my mental and emotional health – and consequently my physical health – was improving. My days are taking on a relaxing rhythm – quilting, reading, writing, yoga, being in the moment with hubby. Appreciating that I can do what I wish in retirement, without having to worry about finances too much. I enjoyed my nap this afternoon, the brief snow in Tucson this morning, and the fact I still have 10 hours ahead of me to write and quilt.
Life is content and full of content.

After his much-acclaimed performance in the film Ankhon Dekhi, actor Rajat Kapoor returns to big screen with a new film titled 'Mantra'.
Actress Mona Singh, who features in the recently released "Zed Plus", says it's satisfying for an actor to be part of a movie like the political satire as it requires one to portray a range of emotions.
This Prime Minister cannot speak Hindi. No, he is not female and of Italian origin. Played by the very authentic Kulbhushan Kharbanda, Mr. Prime Minister in Chandraprakash Dwiwedi's heartwarming political satire, is a bearded, canny, suave and wily patriarch.
Adil Hussain
Versatile and critically acclaimed actor Adil Hussain is set to wield the megaphone with an Assamese film, about a man and elephant. But he doesn't like to be called a director.
Versatile actor Adil Hussain, known for his performances in high-on-content films, including 'English Vinglish' and 'Life Of Pi', says he has hardly watched any Bollywood films for over three decades. He says they're not to his "taste".
Actor Adil Hussain, popular for his role in 'Ishqiya' and 'English Vinglish', will make his Tamil debut with upcoming actioner 'Yatchan'. He describes his role as an "interesting challenge".
Noted theatre person and Bollywood actress, Seema Biswas will perform a one act play `Streer Patra`, a Hindi adaptation of Rabindranath Tagore`s drama, on August 27 here.
Actor Adil Hussain says his role of a police inspector in `Lootera` was very significant when he signed on for it, but was taken aback to see that it did not reflect in the final cut of the film.
Film actors Seema Biswas and Adil Hussain, who are part of the North Eastern package at the International Film Festival of India (IFFI) here, today said they would love to work in movies made in that part of the country regularly, provided that scripts appeal to them.
Actor Adil Hussain, who has acted with films like `English Vinglish` and `Life of Pi`, considers his family to be important.
Assam-born actor Adil Hussain says that filmmakers from the northeast region don`t have the kind of budget to market their movies; neither do they have enough theatres to recover the cost.
It`s a region that has produced acclaimed directors like Jahnu Barua and Utpal Borpujari, singers like Bhupen Hazarika and actors like Danny Denzongpa and Adil Hussain, but sadly the northeast has never been on Bollywood`s radar.
"Never run away from things that terrify you," was a lesson that J.A. Krishnamurthy had instilled in his daughter Smriti when she was young, and he probably regrets doing so, for the results could be terrifying. A reality one should wake up to.
Oscar-winning filmmaker Ang Lee could not attend a special screening of 'Life of Pi' here but in a special message the director expressed his gratitude "for all the help and inspiration I got from India."
Adil Hussain says Suraj Sharma deserved Oscar nomination.
Arya Yuyutsu caught up with `Life of Pi` and `English Vinglish` actor Adil Hussain to ask him about working with Ang Lee, Suraj Sharma, the Oscars, and his upcoming projects in the first of a two-part interview.
Indian theatre and film actor Adil Hussain feels that his role in Ang Lee`s `Life of Pi` has helped him take a step forward in the international films.
Actor Adil Hussain, who has been in news with his recent performances in films like 'Ishqiya', 'Gangor', 'For Real' and 'Agent Vinod' is excited about his role in Oscar winning director Ang Lee`s 'Life of Pi' and attributes it to luck and a bit of talent.
Irrfan Khan and Adil Hussain are the latest to join the star cast of Ang Lee`s movie adaptation Yann Martel`s Booker prize winning book `Life of Pi`.

I can't say enough good things about Casa Laguna. The entire property felt like my dream! Lisa was absolutely delightful, and every aspect of our stay was perfect. The ocean view was so beautiful, and it was so neat to sit outside the room and see dolphins playing in the ocean. The room was incredibly charming, the grounds are gorgeous and the breakfast was delicious. I loved the 1920's Mission style architecture, and the beautiful and lush vegetation was heavenly. I loved every detail of Casa Laguana, and I will absolutely be back. Thank you, Lisa, for a wonderful experience. I love how you said, "We just can't get rid of you guys!" Why would we ever want to leave?!

Justin Timberlake Will Return to 'Saturday Night Live' in March
Justin "Mr. D--- in a Box" Timberlake will make a welcomed return to 'Saturday Night Live' next month.
Justin "Mr. D--- in a Box" Timberlake will make a welcomed return to 'Saturday Night Live' next month.
We all do things. You do things; your friends do things; even celebrities do things. So why is this Tumblr so funny? Well, it takes photos of Justin just being Justin and adds captions that are just a little bit absurd. Behold, Justin Timberlake doing things!
Fresh off of his return to the stage at the 2013 Grammy Awards last night, Justin Timberlake is treating fans to another new track off his upcoming album, 'The 20/20 Experience.'
The 2013 Grammys have come and gone but the performances last forever ...
Contrary to what some reports would have us believe, Justin Timberlake did not call his ex-girlfriend Britney Spears a "bitch" during his Pre-Super Bowl concert on Saturday, Feb. 2.
GIRLS!!! Get ready to grab your popcorn, the snuggie, and the Chardonnay! My man, Justin Timberlake will be shaking that fine a** in a suit & tie on Febr
Major bummer alert. Justin Timberlake was really bad in plaid at the 2013 SAG Awards. The actor/singer, who's on the musical comeback trail with 'Suit & Tie,' is usually a red carpet winner and has enviable dude style, but tonight? His outfit was a serious "don't."
Ok JT fans, your time has come to see him perform again. Justin's recent hit 'Suit & Tie' w/ Jay-Z has prompted him to perform on Superbowl weekend. According to mtv.com, Justin will perform February 2nd, on the DirectTV Super Saturday Night event, a charity event to benefit Shriners Hosptials for children.
As he promised last week, Justin Timberlake fans received a treat on Sunday (Jan. 13) at midnight with the release of his first single, 'Suit & Tie,' off of his upcoming album, 'The 20/20 Experience.'
Justin Timberlake is ready. After talk that he would make a return to music this week, the singer is officially making a comeback.
Last week was a good week for Justin Timberlake: He married mega-hottie Jessica Biel in an exquisite Italian wedding with all his friends and family around to help him celebrate.
But this week? Has been a little different. Things went downhill after someone leaked a video that a friend of Justin's created for him as a "joke." A video that very clearly mocks some citizens of Los Angeles who are far less fortunate than Timberlake and his rich pals.
And happy Justin wasn't happy any more.
The horror! Turns out two 'N Sync bandmates didn't score invites to the much talked-about Justin Timberlake / Jessical Biel Italian wedding. So who was left off the guest list?

November 2007 -- Issue #163
The November issue of Linux Journal is all about High-Performance Computing from many angles. Delve right into this month's hands-on feature articles, including Khurram Shiraz's primer on the Red Hat Enterprise Linux Cluster Suite, Daniel Bartholomew's piece on gracefully transferring services between systems with Heartbeat and Jack Chongjie Xue's case study on building a high-availability e-mail system at a major university.
Another theme this month is doing your core work faster and more efficiently. Take Jes Hall's article on distributing your compiling work across multiple machines in your network via distcc or Girish Venkatachalam's on enhancing your performance when network programming in C. We also interview execs at RapidMind about their cutting-edge platform for leveraging multicore processors and accelerators.
Next, check out our trusty gang columnists and opinionators: Nick Petreley is talking Java, Reuven Lerner is thinking APIs and Jon "maddog" Hall is parsing Sun's Solaris marketing hype.
Finally, Chef Marcel Gagne knows the real reason you bought dual-core processor--to play high-performance racing games! Touché, Marcel!

Off-the-shelf options may rule the roost when it comes to mobile enterprise applications used by businesses and their employees. But there's a productive hen with the ability to lay golden eggs that's gaining greater prominence in this market: custom mobile apps that are fully or partially personalized, tailor-made, and paid for by a company to meet its particular business or mission needs.

The June 2012 Triton Webcast Metrics report was released and it shows that the audience for internet radio service Pandora is growing. According to PR Newswire, Pandora had a weekly cumulative audience increase of 6% from March of 2012 to June 2012 in the adult 18-49 demographic. With the amount of total listeners in that demographic, it ranks Pandora as the largest radio network in the US.
For the top 10 local radio markets in the country, Pandora saw growth in terms of listening times and audience size across all demographics. Pandora believes this information will make the company even more attractive to advertisers looking to reach a radio audience.

Katharine Hepburn is a great actress!
Alice admires the beautiful and rich daughters of the wealthier families in her town; she longs for their life of privilege, fashionable clothes, and charming suitors.
The film itself portrays a community immersed in class and racial distinctions, where there exist almost insurmountable barriers to social and professional success.

Yesterday, Tuesday, 3 May 2011, was the 20th anniversary of World Press Freedom Day, begun in Namibia as the Declaration of Windhoek, a statement of principles calling for a free, independent and pluralistic media throughout the world. Celebrations around the world were tempered with concerns about the erosion of press freedom and in South Africa, SANEF called on Government to review its proposed legislations that has seen SA downgrade from 'free press' to 'partly free'.

Scalpel, stat
He was already moving before the cold clink of ceramic had signaled a disaster. He snatched up the manuscript and ran to the paper cutter on his design table. Only the bottom, right corner of the paper had been contaminated so far, but it was leaching upward and outward, like blood on a white t-shirt. He placed the stack on the cutter, positioned it as exactly as his haste would allow and sheared the offending corner from the rest of his valuable work. He held the manuscript aloft and fluffed the pages, satisfied that he had caught the infection in time. He felt like a surgeon, having successfully removed a nonessential limb before the cancer had a chance to spread. He would treat himself to a celebratory bourbon.

Souls of Mischief, 93 'til Infinity
Wednesday, December 10, 2014
A living room
a tickling of hairs on the backs of our necks,
a phantom insect crawling in circles.
Each laden word is only a fraying edge of the rug,
spooling off into its own consequences
and choking the vacuum we've earned -
nothing will come up clean, tonight.
Playing on my iTunes at this very moment:
The Dodos, Confidence
Tuesday, November 25, 2014
A new worldview has been commissioned.
It will be a singular lens, an uninvited,
glaring eyeball into the convulsing soul
of the world - and what it sees will horrify us.
To ignore so many significant things,
it takes something equally paramount -
they can call it politics, or faith, or ideology.
Science has another name: the singularity.
Here is where we dump our unneeded,
here is where we discard our anchors and chains,
here is where everything we'd like to ignore
is swallowed up and lost to failing memory.
And so it is proven that each choice, so stark
and so significant, is just one twig on one branch
of one thick arm on the largest of all trees:
Zoom out and see for yourself how small you are.
Playing on my iTunes at this very moment:
Lucius, Turn It Around
Better days
carried by hearsay and worn pencils,
borne in fading notebooks and tattered journals.
See it now, spilled out and scattered.
See it now, huddled in the corner of the room,
nervous, sweating through its clothes.
See it now, angry and clouding,
bursting to and fro across the state -
an insatiable dervish of discontent.
See it now, exhausted and defeated,
panting against the side of a brick building,
breathing itself in and out, in and out.
Playing on my iTunes at this very moment:
Jake Bugg, There's A Beast and We All Feed It

The Bruins overcame the loss of top forward Nathan Horton earlier in the finals to become the first team in history to win Game 7 three times in a single postseason. The Bruins' never-say-die attitude also had them overcome two 2-0 series deficits — versus the Montreal Canadiens in the first round and the Canucks in the Finals — en route to their first Cup since defeating the New York Rangers in 1972.
Goaltender Tim Thomas had a transcendent series and was awarded the Conn Smythe Trophy as the MVP of the playoffs.
"It feels unreal right now," said Thomas, standing at center ice. "It still hasn't set in for me."
Thomas was not immune to feeling some nerves, even though he looked calm and cool throughout the series.
"I made it look like I was composed to you guys," said Thomas. "But I was nervous, there was no doubt about it, especially as the series went on. But my job as a goalie is to hide that and give the team confidence in front of me."

Thomas put an exclamation point on his Conn Smythe performance with a shutout in Game 7, his second of the series. His unflappable play seemed to affect Vancouver, who shot the puck high and wide all night looking for ways to beat the Bruins netminder.
Things got off to an auspicious start for Boston with Patrice Bergeron scoring the first of his two goals in the first period. He was alone in the slot and put a shot past Roberto Luongo that seemed to sap the Canucks and their fans of energy.
Scoring chances for the Canucks were few and far between all night and throughout the series. Vancouver had the NHL's best offense in the regular season, but were held to eight goals in seven games by Boston.
"It was a tough battle all series," said Bruins defenseman Dennis Seidenberg. "Definitely they were hard to shut down. They are a really smart group. They always get the puck deep. They're like a machine. It took a lot of hard work from us."
Seidenberg assisted on Brad Marchand's wraparound goal to make it 2-0, then notched his second assist of the night on Bergeron's second goal, a shorthanded marker that made it 3-0.
For Bergeron, winning the Stanley Cup is the culmination of a lifetime of dedication to hockey.
"Obviously, having a chance to hoist that Cup is a childhood dream," said Bergeron. "I was five years old with my brother outside playing pond hockey, and that was the dream. And now I'm here. I'm so happy."
In the third period, a desperate Canucks team pulled Luongo with three minutes to play. Marchand added an empty-net goal to seal the deal for the Bruins, making them the first of the two squads to win a road game in these Finals.
"We knew we had a physical edge on them; we knew they were more banged up than we were, and we took advantage of that," said Milan Lucic. "We did exactly what we needed to do."
It was a long road to the Cup for Boston, and the future wasn't always certain, but the Bruins showed focus and resiliency that carried through to their ultimate goal.
"We sacrificed so much through the whole playoffs," said team captain Zdeno Chara. "It's such a long run. It's so hard, and you need support from your family, and I got that 100 percent from my wife and my daughter. It's an unbelievable honor to be in this position."
Veteran forward Mark Recchi hoisted the Stanley Cup for the third and final time in his career, announcing his retirement from the ice during the postgame celebration.
"This is it," said the 43-year-old Recchi. "I can't thank the organization enough for believing in me and bringing me back. Everybody on this team has worked hard to get here. We've worked long and hard to turn this team in the right direction. This is one of the best groups I've ever played with. We believed in each other and stuck strong together throughout the course of the year."
Giving Boston an emotional boost was the presence of injured forward Nathan Horton, who skated onto the ice after the game to lift the Stanley Cup.
One other special figure on the ice was Bruins president Cam Neely, a long-time Boston sports hero going back to his days as a Bruin in the 1980s and '90s. Neely made it to the Stanley Cup Finals twice as a player, but the Bruins were defeated both times. He lifted the Cup for the first time Wednesday night.
"This is absolutely for the fans. They deserve this," said Neely. "The players did everything they could to win this Cup. The fan base has been waiting for a long, long time for this to happen again. There's been a lot of heartache. I'm extremely happy for the fans of the Bruins."
