An all-cotton batting appealed to me, but I have been told that using a blend, i.e., Hobb's 80% cotton, 20% poly, is better because it won't shrink, stretch or bunch up. What do you experienced quilters think? (I tried the Search function, but all I got was instructions on building a bat house.)
(bat house... LOL)
I often use 100% cotton. It does shrink a bit but I like that slightly puckered look along the quilting; it gives the quilt an authentic look I guess.
I've used a very lightweight wool on a couple quilts and the drape just can't be equaled. It's wonderful but I think it's too warm for Florida so I don't use it in quilts I'm making for us here.
Bamboo is nice but it hasn't been around long enough for me to know if I'll like it in the long run. And it can be expensive! I've used it in a couple baby quilts because I thought the mothers would like the environmentally friendlyness of it.
I recently had a quilt for our own bed batted with a blend, on the recommendation of the long arm quilter. I was skeptical but others on this forum recommended it. I may be a convert to this batting because the drape is really nice and soft, the quilt is lightweight and comfy, even in this weather and the quilting looks very pretty with just the right loft.
That's probably more than you wanted to know! Batting is mostly a matter of preference so you may have to give a couple different types a try before you know what you want to regularly use, but after years of using Warm & Natural cotton batting, I think I'll be using the 80/20 for most of my quilts.
I prefer Warm and Natural, but really it depends on what I want the quilt for and have used all types of batting. I just am finishing up on a Blueridge Beauty design and went with a high loft poly, something I usually dislike but I wanted simple SITD type quilting on it and the loft and poof and light weight (king sized) made the pattern and material pop. So, I don't get locked in.
If I am hand quilting I prefer all cotton. If I am machine quilting I prefer all cotton lol!!! It clings to the cotton fabric better than poly.
We have a warm climate too, but I sometimes use high loft for smaller quilts, depending on what the pattern is.
I tried the bamboo and loved it but I agree with Kate about it being so new.
Some people say cotton is harder to hand quilt but I have never had a prob. Use some of the coupons and try different ones on small quilts to see what you prefer.
All you southern ladies and your light weight quilts... I'm up here in Minnesota where the warmer, the better, although I have to admit it was 76 today.
I've been asking a lot of questions at local quilt shops, and the answer for the quilts that I will have machine quilted by professionals seems to be that each quilter will have her own requirements as to batting. Evidently, many of them actually provide their own. So I guess I will find a quilter and then decide on a batting. Thank you for all your suggestions. You can learn so much on this forum.

How economies work – and don't
a way to connect the dots. Making the cyber rounds is "The Cavernous Divide" by Scott Klinger, from AlterNet (posted March 21): "As the number of billionaires in the world expands, so does the number of those in poverty." Duh. The yawning income gap is not news. Nearly every issue of our quarterly digest carries a similar quote. Yet the connection was worked out long ago by one of America's greatest thinkers, Henry George, who labeled his masterpiece, Progress and Poverty. Techno- and socio-advances always enrich few and impoverish many. Yet progress also pushes up location values – the geonomic insight (is Silicon Valley cheaper now or more expensive?). Instead of taxing income, sales, or buildings, society could collect those values of sites, resources, EM spectrum, and ecosystem services via fees and dues, which would lower the income ceiling, and instead of lavishing corporate welfare, pay out the recovered revenue via dividends, which would jack up the income floor. Dots connected.
of interest to Dave Lakhani, President Bold Approach (Mar 8) and Matt Ozga (Jan 29): "I write for the Washington Square News, the student run newspaper out of New York University. Geonomics seems like it has great significance, especially in this area. When was geonomics developed, and by whom?" About 1982 I began. Two years later, Chilean Dr Manfred Max-Neef offered the term geonomics for Earth-friendly economics. In the mid-80s, a millionaire founded a Geonomics Institute on Middlebury College campus in Vermont re global trade. In the 1990s, CNBC cablecast a show, Geonomics, on world trade as it benefits world traders. My version of geonomics draws heavily from the American Henry George who wrote Progress & Poverty (1879) and won the mayoralty of New York but was denied his victory by Tammany Hall (1886). He in turn got lots from Brits David Ricardo, Adam Smith, and the French physiocrats of the 1700s. My version differs by focusing not on taxation but on the flow of rents for sites, resources, sinks, and government-granted privileges. Forgoing these trillions, we instead tax and subsidize, making waste cheap and sustainability expensive. To quit distorting price, replace taxes with "land dues" and replace subsidies with a Citizens Dividend. Matt: "This idea of sharing rents sounds, if not explicitly socialist, at least at odds with some capitalist values (only the strong survive & prosper, etc). Is it fair to say that geonomics has some basis in socialist theory?" A closer descriptor would be Christian. Beyond ethics into praxis, Alaska shares oil rent with residents, and they're more libertarian than socialist. While individuals provide labor and capital, no one provides land while society generates its value. Rent is not private property but public property. Sharing Rent is predistribution, sharing it before an elite or state has a chance to get and misspend it, like a public REIT (Real Estate Investment Trust) paying dividends to its stakeholders – a perfectly capitalist model. What we should leave untaxed are our sales, salaries, and structures, things we do produce.
the Great Green Tax Shift maxed out" Economically, taxing pollution and depletion does reduce pollutants and extracts – and thus the tax base; plus such taxes are regressive, requiring a safety net. On the other hand, collecting site rent is progressive and generates a revenue surplus payable as a dividend to residents, which can serve as the safety net. Environmentally, taxes on waste and extraction do not drive efficient use of land, as does getting site rent. Better settlement patterns do reduce extraction upstream and pollution downstream. Politically, green fees have less impact if applied locally; local is where grassroots movements have more impact. Yet getting rent usually entails shifting the property tax (or charging user fees), the province of local jurisdictions; both mayors and city voters have been known to adopt a site-value tax. Ethically, putting into practice "tax bads, not goods" skirts the issue of sharing Mother Earth which collecting rent confronts head on. Since nothing is fixed until it's fixed right, ultimately, greens must lead humanity into geotopia where we all share the worth of Mother Earth.
a neologism for sharing "rent" or "social surplus" – the money we spend on the nature we use. When we buy land, such as the land beneath a home, we typically pay the wrong person – the homeowner. Instead, since land cost us nothing to make and is the common heritage of us all, rather than pay the owner, we should pay ourselves, our neighbors, our community. That is, we should all pay land dues to the public treasury, then our government would pay us land dividends from this collected revenue. It's similar to the Alaska oil dividend, almost $2,000 last year. Indeed, the annual rental value of land, oil, all other natural resources, including the broadcast spectrum and other government-granted permits such as corporate charters, totals several trillion dollars each year. It's so much that some could be spent on basic social services, the rest parceled out as a dividend, as Tom Paine suggested, and taxes (except any on natural rents) could be abolished, as Thomas Jefferson suggested. Were we sharing Earth by sharing her worth, territorial disputes would be fewer, less intense, and more resolvable.
about the money we spend on the nature we use. It flows torrentially yet invisibly, often submerged in the price of housing, food, fuel, and everything else. Flowing from the many to the few, natural rent distorts prices and rewards unjust and unsustainable choices. Redirected via dues and dividends to flow from each to all, "rent" payments would level the playing field and empower neighbors to shrink their workweek and expand their horizons. Modeled on nature's feedback loops, earlier proposals to redirect rent found favor with Paine, Tolstoy, and Einstein. Wherever tried, to the degree tried, redirecting rent worked. One of today's versions, the green tax shift, spreads out of Europe. Another, the Property Tax Shift, activists can win at the local level, building a world that works right for everyone.
a study of a phenomenon David Ricardo noted going on two centuries ago. When wine grapes rise to $10,000 a ton from the very best land (last year, cabernet sauvignon commanded an average of $4,021 a ton in the Napa Valley), then vineyard prices soar from $18,000 an acre in the 1980′s to $100,000 an acre five years ago and now for a top pedigree up to $300,000 an acre (The New York Times, April 9, via Wyn Achenbaum). Pricey land does not make wine pricey; spendy wine makes land spendy. While vintners make their wine tasty, nature and society in general – not any lone owner – make land desireable. Steve Kerch of CBS's MarketWatch (April 5) notes that much of what a home sells for on the open market is a reflection of intangible factors such as what school district the house sits in. The price the builder has to pay for the land also tends to be driven by the same intangibles. Because the value of land comes from society, and because one's use excludes the rest of society, each user owes all others compensation, and is owed compensation by everyone else. Sharing land's value, instead of taxing one's efforts, is the policy of geonomics.
the study of the money we spend on the nature we use. When we pay that money to private owners, we reward both speculation and over-extraction. Robert Kiyosaki's bestseller, Rich Dad's Prophecy, says, "One of the reasons McDonald's is such a rich company is not because it sells a lot of burgers but because it owns the land at some of the best intersections in the world. The main reason Kim and I invest in such properties is to own the land at the corner of the intersection. (p 200) My real estate advisor states that the rich either made their money in real estate or hold their money in real estate." (p 141, via Greg Young) When government recovers the rents for natural advantages for everyone, it can save citizens millions. Ben Sevack, Montreal steel manufacturer, tells us (August 12) that Alberta, by leasing oil & gas fields, recovers enough revenue to be the only province in Canada to get by without a sales tax and to levy a flat provincial income tax. While running for re-election, provincial Premier Ralph Klein proposes to abolish their income tax and promises to eliminate medical insurance premiums and use resource revenue to pay for all medical expense for seniors. After all this planned tax-cutting and greater expense, they still expect a large budget surplus. Even places without oil and gas have high site values in their downtowns, and high values in their utility franchises. Recover the values of locations and privileges, displace the harmful taxes on sales, salaries, and structures, then use the revenue to fund basic government and pay residents a dividend, and you have geonomics in action.
a discipline that, compared to economics, is as obscure as Warren Buffett's investment strategy, compared to conventional investment theory, about which Buffett said, "You couldn't advance in a finance department in this country unless you taught that the world was flat." (The New York Times, Oct 29). The writer wondered, "But why? If it works, why don't more investors use it?" Good question. Geonomics works, too. Every place that has used it has prospered while conserving resources. Yet it remains off the radar of many wanna-be reformers. Gradually, tho', that's changing. More are becoming aware of what geonomics studies – all the money we spend on the nature we use. Geonomics (1) as an alternative worldview to the anthropocentric, sees human economies as part of the embracing ecosystem with natural feedback loops seeking balance in both systems. (2) As an alternative to worker vs. investor, it sees our need for sites and resources making those who own land into landlords. (3)As an alternative to economics, it tracks the trillions of "rent" as it drives the "housing" bubble and all other indicators. And (4) as an alternative to left or right, it suggests we not tax ourselves then subsidize our favorites but recover and share society's surplus, paying in land dues and getting back "rent" dividends, a la Alaska's oil dividend. Letting rent go to the wrong pockets wreaks havoc, while redirecting it to everyone would solve our economic ills and the ills downstream from them. People must learn to stop whining so much and feel enough self-esteem to demand a fair share of rent, society's surplus, the commonwealth.
a new policy from a new perspective. Once your worldview shifts — so that vacant city lots are no longer invisible — then epiphany. "Of course! Why didn't I see it before?" Once you do see the emptiness and what damage it does, how can you ever go back to the old paradigm?
the annoying habit of seeing the hand of land in almost all transactions. In geonomics we maintain the distinction between the items bearing exchange value that come into being via human effort — wealth — and those that don't — land. Keeping this distinction in the forefront makes it obvious that speculating in land drives sprawl, that hoarding land retards Third World development, that borrowing to buy land plus buildings engorges banks, that much so-called "interest" is quasi-rent, that the cost of land inflates faster than the price of produced goods and services, that over half of corporate profit is from real estate (Urban Land Institute, 1999). Summing up these analyses, geonomists offer a Grand Unifying Theory, that the flow of rent pulls all other indicators in its wake. Geonomics differs from economics as chemistry from alchemy, as astronomy from astrology.

I know what you are thinking – the woman has finally lost her mind. Or, this is the most ridiculous post I have ever seen – and I'm not going to waste my time reading it. Wait! I promise it will make sense.
Everyone has a favorite something – right? It's a common enough story; in addition to holiday shopping this past weekend, I spent over an hour searching for a new tinted moisturizer to no avail. If you are a woman, you know what it's like to have a favorite fragrance or lip gloss or nail color. Then, for some unknown and misguided reason, the manufacturer changes the formulation and it loses the je ne sais quoi that made it so special. Well, this just happened to my favorite aforementioned tinted moisturizer with sun screen! I want it back at any price – it has irreplaceable value to me. It was lightweight and matched my skin tone. Not too shiny or oily and just the SPF I need. I've searched but I can't find a replacement I like. I trusted the product; it provided the ROI I was seeking. Continue reading

If you have questions of a technical nature, e.g., trouble accessing the system, please contact HR Systems Support at email@example.com or use their online web form. For questions related to the benefits information contained in EBIS, speak to your Benefits Contact.
4. Important Benefits Reminders For Administrative Officers
When An Employee Enters Leave Without Pay (LWOP) Status – If an employee will be on LWOP for more than 30 consecutive days, a personnel action must be processed. For guidance, please contact your Client Services Division HR Representative. Because non-pay status can severely impact an employee's benefits, it is also very important that you notify your Benefits Contact as soon as you are notified that the employee is going on LWOP.
When An Employee Dies In Service – In the event of the death of an employee, please notify your Benefits Contact immediately. The Benefits Contact will counsel the employee's surviving family member(s) on available benefits and assist in the preparation and timely submission of death benefits claim forms.
5. Do You Know If You Owe Money To The Civil Service Retirement System Or Federal Employees Retirement System Fund?
You may owe money to the retirement fund if the following applies to you:
- You performed temporary service not covered under the retirement system. This is known as deposit service. (Employees covered under FERS can make deposits only for temporary service performed prior to January 1, 1989).
- You received a refund of your retirement contributions when you had a break in Federal service. This is known as redeposit service.
Paying a deposit and/or redeposit is optional. However, making the payment could give you additional service credit for retirement to increase your annuity. You may pay a deposit and/or redeposit to "buy" service credit for certain periods of service. To view detailed information on deposit and redeposit service, visit the Benefits and Payroll Liaison Branch's website.
If you wish to pay a deposit and/or redeposit, you must complete the appropriate application and provide it to your Benefits Contact for submission to the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) for processing. OPM will allow you to make a lump sum payment or monthly payments. Interest will continue to accrue on any unpaid deposit/redeposit balance until the amount due has been paid in full.
If you have questions about your deposit and/or redeposit service, your Benefits Contact can assist you. Additionally, your Benefits Contact can provide you with the estimated payment amount due, as well as a retirement estimate. The Employee Benefits Information System (EBIS) is a tool that allows employees to personally prepare their own retirement estimates. However, if you have deposit and/or redeposit service, you should first discuss your service with your Benefits Contact because an estimate obtained through EBIS may not be accurate.
6. What Is Temporary Continuation Of Coverage (TCC) Under The Federal Employees Health Benefits (FEHB) Program?
TCC is available to: 1) employees who lose their FEHB Program coverage because they leave their Federal jobs; 2) children who lose their FEHB Program family member status because they reach age 26; and 3) former spouses who lose their FEHB Program family member status because of divorce or annulment. TCC allows former employees to continue their FEHB Program coverage for up to 18 months, and children and former spouses to continue FEHB Program coverage for up to 36 months. For information about TCC, review the TCC pamphlet (OPM). For further information, please get in touch with your Benefits Contact.
7. What Are The Spouse Equity Provisions Under The FEHB Program?
The Spouse Equity provisions (OPM) of law allows the former spouse of a Federal employee or annuitant to enroll in FEHB if he or she: 1) was covered under FEHB as a family member at some time during the 18 months before the marriage ended; 2) has not remarried before reaching age 55; and 3) has a qualifying court order (a court order that awards the former spouse a portion of the employee's or retiree's annuity benefit or a survivor benefit based on the employee's or retiree's Federal service). For information about Spouse Equity, review the FEHB Handbook (OPM). For further information, please get in touch with your Benefits Contact.
8. Employment And Income Verification – Use TALX – The Work Number ®
The Work Number®, is an automated system that provides proof of employment and income to verifiers. Workforce Solutions is widely known and used by over 50,000 entities including most major financial institutions, mortgage lenders, leasing companies, and private corporations to verify employment and income status of employees. The system provides a secure way for verifiers to obtain your employment information and is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Before your information can be released to a verifier, you must give your authorization. NIH employees can use Workforce Solutions - The Work Number® in two easy steps:
- Authorize the verification by completing the verifier's (lender, bank, etc.) authorization form. When you try to access the system as an employee, you will be asked to enter a User ID and a PIN.
- Your user ID is your full SSN
- Your initial PIN is the last four digits of your SSN + full birth year (Example: 12341953)
Note: You will be prompted to enroll in the Enhanced Security or Risk Based Authentication. This is mandatory and must be completed in order to use the system.
- Provide the verifier with:
- Workforce Solutions –The Work Number® access options - www.theworknumber.com or 1-800-367-5690
- HHS Employer Code: 14775
Salary Key (if needed) (A salary key is a six digit electronic signature created by the employee that is good for a one time use by a verifier)
9. Why Do I Need A myPay PIN And How Can I Get One?
It is very important to have access to your myPay (DFAS) account so that you can view your Leave and Earnings Statement (LES) each pay day to verify that the correct deductions are being withheld and that your leave balances on your LES match the balances in ITAS. You must also use myPay to make changes to your home address, TSP contributions, direct deposit of pay, allotments, Federal tax withholdings, and Open Season health benefits elections. Additionally, some state tax withholdings must be made via myPay (DFAS). If you move to or from Maryland, you must complete a state tax form for your new state and submit it to the Benefits and Payroll Liaison Branch (Bldg 31/Rm B3C23) for processing. However, for movement between other states and/or the District, you must use myPay (DFAS).
To access the system, you will need your Login and Password. If you have forgotten your Login or Password, click the "Forgot Your Login ID?" or "Forgot or Need a Password?" link on the left side of the myPay (DFAS) screen. Using this method, your Password can be e-mailed to you if you pre-registered your e-mail address, or it can be mailed to your current home address of record within 7 to 10 business days.
A second option for requesting a Password is to send a fax to 216-367-3549. You will need to include in your request your name, SSN, a daytime phone number, a copy of your NIH ID Card, and you must sign the fax. Upon receiving your fax, the Defense Finance & Accounting Service (DFAS) will reset your Password using a temporary Password. Your temporary Password will be 8 numbers, the last 4 numbers of your SSN twice. You will not receive a notice from DFAS that your Password has been reset. Simply wait at least two business days before logging into myPay (DFAS) to use your temporary Password. Upon logging in, you will be prompted to reset your Password. Information pertaining to establishing an acceptable Login and Password can be obtained at myPay FAQs (DFAS).
If you encounter problems with your Login and/or Password or technical issues using myPay (DFAS), contact the DFAS Centralized Customer Support Unit toll-free at 1-888-332-7411. This support line is available Monday through Friday, 7:00 A.M. to 6:30 P.M. Eastern Standard Time. They can provide assistance on how to use the options available to you in myPay . They will also provide support for establishing and changing your Login and/or Password.
10. Where Can I Find Information On Pay And Leave?
You can find a wealth of pay and leave information on our website. Additionally, you can find information on the most frequently asked payroll questions.
Where Do I Go If I Have Questions About My Benefits?
11. How Can I Get In Touch With My Benefits Contact?
Your contact in the Benefits and Payroll Liaison Branch will be able to help you with a variety of issues pertaining to the health and life insurance programs, designating beneficiaries, the Thrift Savings Plan (TSP), calculating your retirement annuity estimate , working with you to pay a redeposit for prior civilian service if you previously withdrew your retirement funds, paying a deposit for prior civilian or military service for which retirement deductions were not withheld, etc. To find your benefits contact, review our list of contacts.

Vermont Castings Radiance - Hissing Sound
vegansallyOctober 29, 2009
Hi, I just had a VC "Radiance" gas, Franklin-type stove installed last week. There is an audible, constant hissing sound, kind of a soft hum, coming from it, even when not in use. Does anyone know if this is normal with this particular stove? I have a friend who has another brand of gas stove and she says hers makes no noise at all!
I would guess, it's the gas flowing to the pilot light. ?? Your friend may have electronic ignition or it's just quieter.

Cuts are said to have down at the best paid bank on Wall Street.

Bonus Watch '12: Jefferies Wonders Aloud How Its Ass Tastes
Jefferies set aside $870 million in the first six months of its fiscal year, enough to pay its 3,809 employees an average of $228,407. Goldman Sachs set aside $225,789 for each of its 32,300 workers. Average pay for the 26,553 people in JPMorgan's investment bank was $184,989, or at least 18 percent less than Jefferies's […]
How Can Wall Street Feel Alive Again?
As some of you may recall, there was a time not too long ago when you could work on Wall Street and be compensated in a way that made you feel special. Appreciated. Loved. Eight, nine, ten-figures of love. Now, obviously, not so much. But that is not what's eating the industry's most fragile spirits of late. They are fine taking pay cuts. They could care less about the money. What they're not fine with is having the rush, the intensity, the adrenaline-pumping fear that comes with, say, putting on a trade in which maybe the firm will make $1 billion or maybe it'll lose $10 billion, WHO KNOWS, IT'S ALL RELATIVE, I CAN'T FEEL MY LEGS, THAT'S WHAT MAKES IT SO EXCITING taken away from them. Take Sean George. He used to spend his days destroying company property and now, thanks to financial regulation, has had to get his kicks elsewhere.
Sean George kneeled in the Church of St. Paul the Apostle in Manhattan. He wasn't praying. A gash below his right brow bled into his eye and down his nose before a knee to his groin sent him to the floor. George, 39, head of credit-derivatives trading at Jefferies, was making his Muay Thai debut at the church June 22 in a sport that allows kicking, elbowing and kneeing. His eye was swelling shut by the time he lost in a split decision. It was the happiest he's been all year, he said.
"Right now at work I'm making less risk decisions — and I enjoy taking risks," George, who headed investment-grade credit-default-swap trading at Deutsche Bank AG before he joined Jefferies last year, said in an interview. "If you're in it for the game and the fight, the game's over and the fight's over." Risk is what drew George and the colleagues he respects to Wall Street, he said. He could bring in millions of dollars in a single month at his peak, and trading was so intense that during one credit-default-swap deal he smashed a phone against his desk, sending part of it three rows away, "one of the records for the best break," he said.
Ethan Garber's lost that tingly feeling in his plums.
"There's no sexiness, there's no fun, there's no intellectual intrigue, either," said Ethan Garber, who ran proprietary credit-arbitrage portfolios for Credit Suisse Group AG and Bear Stearns Cos. "A lot of my friends who actually lingered for the last four years are all now getting fired anyway," said Garber, 45, currently CEO of IdleAir, a Knoxville, Tennessee-based firm that provides electricity at truck stops. "The air is taken out."
Robert McTamaney has been reduced to doing his best impression of a whiskey-swilling, cigar-chomping newspaper man from the 1940's, who we assume addressed Bloomberg's Max Abelson as "toots" here.
"The socks are higher, the skirts are longer," said McTamaney, who helped run Goldman Sachs's equities- trading business in Asia. "It's like styles: They change, and you've got to change with it or be left behind."
Former King Street Capital and Bank of America trader Sam Polk isn't gonna lie, the worst part of Wall Street 2.0 is not being able to feel like a god by dropping $10,000 for bottle service on Wednesday nights, and sometimes even Thursdays.
"You could be a 20-something trader three years out of school, able to go to any restaurant or club or ballgame on any night that you wanted, and it was totally paid for," he said. "It was a tremendous feeling of power."
Michael Meyer is dying a slow, painful death.
"The light at the end of the tunnel is dim," said Meyer, now co-head of sales and trading at New York investment bank Seaport Group.
Clearly, it's not pretty. But here at Dealbreaker we're about offering solutions, not whining about problems. How can these guys and girls replicate the feelings they once got by taking on risk on the job, if, unlike Sean George, getting kicked in the balls is not their thing? Drinking the carton of milk in the break room that's been sitting out for two days, telling the boss's wife it looks like she's gained a couple pounds, having unprotected sex with a junkie, shouting "You go girl!" at yourself in spin class after being kindly told to "Shut the fuck up" or else, and leaving dirty dishes in the sink all seem like good jumping off points but we can do better. These people need our help.

Jefferies Doesn't Need Your Stamp Of Approval But A Little Praise Might Be Nice
