Carlisle museum teaching circus skills at UK 'first'
Published at 11:44, Monday, 17 February 2014
All the fun of the fair is helping to bring science and technology to life at a Carlisle museum in a UK 'first'.
Visitors to Tullie House were given the chance to master the arts of circus skills including juggling and plate-spinning as the city museum kicked off its latest major exhibition on Saturday.
The Mechanical Circus exhibition, which runs until June 1, is the first time that many of the items on show have been displayed in the UK.
The circus-style exhibition, in the museum's art gallery, has been inspired by its own popular Flying Reiver which hovers above reception.
The exhibition combines modern mechanical sculptures – automata – with age-old physics games and puzzles.
It is the first time that the automata of the Cabaret Mechanical Theatre can be seen in the UK.
There is also an array of scientific tricks, toys and items from the Museum Boerhaave, the Netherlands science and medicine museum.
Tullie House leaders drafted in circus performers to help teach visitors tricks during Saturday's family fun day event.
The fun continues all this week, during February half term, with activities running from 10am to 4pm each day. There will be Lego and cycling challenges to complete, as well as trails to follow and unusual games to try out.
Talks and workshops are also scheduled to take place over the next three months to coincide with the exhibition.
Marian Jones, programming manager at Tullie House, said: "The artist that made our Reiver, Keith Newstead, has links with the Cabaret Mechanical Theatre – a collaboration of artists who make these wonderful pieces. And from there we have the pieces from the Museum Boerhaave in the Netherlands.
"It is great for us because we have very little in our collection linked to science and technology so this is a great way to show people how it can be brought to life."
Cumbria County Council and the Co-op helped Tullie House stage Saturday's fun day by giving grant funding, including workshops from local circus skills outfit Astral.
It is understood some of the items in the exhibition will be heading to Warsaw, Poland after its three-month stint in Carlisle.

Recent computations of the backscattering cross section (σb) of randomly-oriented disk-like particles (refractive index, 1.20) with small-scale periodic angular internal structure, have been repeated for similarly sized particles, but with the periodic structure replaced by an aperiodic structure. The latter is formed by randomly perturbing a periodic structure. Although σb for individual realizations of an aperiodic disk can differ significantly from that of its periodic counterpart, averaging over several realizations brings the two into confluence, unless the aperiodicity is too large. These computations suggest that using disks with perfectly periodic (as opposed to quasi-periodic) fine structure for modeling the backscattering of detached coccoliths from E. huxleyi is justified.
© 2007 Optical Society of America
1. Introduction
Interpretation of the light backscattered out of natural waters requires understanding the backscattering properties of their constituents [1]. However, the backscattering coefficient of marine particles is arguably the poorest known of the inherent optical properties of natural waters [2], and much effort is being focused on remedying this situation. The backscattering properties of marine particles are most-often modeled as homogeneous spheres using Mie theory. The advent of computer codes capable of handling more complex shapes [3], and the increased computational speeds now available, suggest that particle modeling employing simple non-spherical shapes, e.g., disks, rods, etc., will become routine. For example, Gordon and Du [4] used a two-disk model to try to reproduce the backscattering by coccoliths detached from E. huxleyi, which has a well-defined shape (resembling a disk or two roughly parallel disks) and a known composition (Calcite, refractive index relative to water ~1.20). (See Ref. 5 for scanning electron micrographs of E. huxleyi coccoliths.) However, E. huxleyi in fact has a rather complex fine structure that might influence backscattering and should be addressed. I tried to examine this in an earlier paper [5], in which I computed the backscattering of light from thin micrometer-sized disks with periodic angular fine structure using the discrete-dipole approximation [6, 7]. The periodic fine structure was achieved by dividing the disk into equal-angle sectors of angle Δα=2π/2n, and removing the dipoles from alternate sectors. In that study the diameter of the disks ranged from 1.50 to 2.75 µm and the thickness from 0.05 to 0.15 µm. The values used for n were 4, 5, 6, and 7, providing pinwheel-looking objects (Fig. 1) with 8, 16, 32, and 64 vanes, respectively. The principal result of the study was that when the scale of the periodicity, s (defined to be the length of an open or closed sector measured along the circumference of the disk), was <λ/4, where λ is the wavelength of the light in the medium (water) the backscattering was found to be nearly identical to that of a homogeneous disk possessing a reduced refractive index. In contrast, significant increases in backscattering were observed when the scale of the periodicity was greater than λ/4, reaching a maximum when the scale becomes ~λ/2 [8]. However images of individual coccoliths [5] suggests that their "angular periodic" structure is not precisely periodic. This raises the question: how much does this aperiodicity influence the backscattering, or alternatively, how large must the deviation from periodic be in order to significantly influence the backscattering? I examine this question here by comparing the backscattering cross section of pinwheels with precisely periodic structure with that for pinwheels in which random variations in the angle Δα of individual sectors are introduced.
2. Model of an aperiodic pinwheel
The aperiodic pinwheel is formed by a perturbation of the purely periodic pinwheel effected in the following manner. First, the disk is divided into purely periodic sectors, the angular boundaries of which are designated by the 2n angles αP. The individual boundary angles are then perturbed to αI according to
where 0≤ε≤1 is a constant and -1/2≤ρ≤1/2 is a random number with a uniform probability density. Then, the material of the disk is removed from ever other sector, yielding a pinwheel with a quasi-periodic structure. Four realizations (each based on a difference sequence of pseudorandom numbers) of such pinwheels for n=5 are provided in Fig. 1 for ε=0.5 and 1.0. Defining ∑I to be the standard deviation in the angle αI, we find ∑I=12-½εΔα≈0.3εΔα, where Δα=2π/2n. Likewise defining ∑Δα to be the standard deviation of the removed (or occupied) sector angles, ∑Δα=6-½εΔα≈0.4εΔα. Thus, for ε=0.5 and 1.0, the relative standard deviation in angle of the removed (or occupied) sectors is 20 and 40%, respectively. I examined two aperiodic pinwheels. The first has a diameter (D) of 1.50 µm, a thickness (t) of 0.15 µm, and n=5 (Fig. 1). The second has D=2.75 µm, t=0.05 µm, and n=6. The larger disk is similar in size to the distal shield of individual E. huxleyi coccoliths [5].
This method of creating aperiodic pinwheels does not yield structures with the same volume (mass) as the associated periodic pinwheel. The volumes of the four realizations of aperiodic pinwheels studied here are provided in Table 1. The individual realizations are labeled by the one minus the position in a string of pseudorandom numbers where the sampling for ρ begins. Thus, for realization 0000 the sampling begins with the first number, for realization 1000 it begins with the 1001th number, etc. The variation of the volume for a given ε can be as much as 25% for the smaller (D=1.5 µm, n=5) and 7% for the larger (D=2.75 µm, n=6) pinwheels. The reduction in dispersion from the smaller to the larger is due to the increase in n, which doubles the number of sectors, increasing the probability that the individual realizations have a volume closer to the mean.
Fig. 1.
3. Operation of the discrete-dipole scattering code
The scattering computations were carried out using the discrete-dipole approximation (DDA) [6, 7]. The accuracy of the DDA for randomly oriented particles is governed by two issues: (1) employing a sufficient number of dipoles to solve the electromagnetic scattering problem for a given orientation; and (2) employing a sufficient number of orientations for performing the orientational average. A measure of the number of dipoles is related to d, the spacing between the dipoles. One wants d to be substantially smaller than the wavelength.
The smaller d, the more dipoles are required to fill the volume of the particle. A convenient measure of the spacing in regard to the wavelength is |m|kd, where m is the refractive index and k=2π/λ. The orientation of a disk-like object is specified by three angles: θ the angle the axis of the disk makes with the incident beam, ϕ, the azimuth of the axis relative to a laboratory-fixed plane containing the incident beam, and β, the angle of rotation around the axis required to place the disk in a specified orientation given θ and ϕ. In general, for an object with no rotational symmetry, e.g., an aperiodic pinwheel, 0°≤θ≤180°, 0°≤ϕ≤360° and 0°≤β≤360° ; however, the high symmetry of a uniform disk reduces these to 0°≤θ≤90°, 0°≤ϕ≤180°, and requires only one value of β, e.g., β=0. For periodic pinwheels (ε=0) the angle β is required, however, its range need only be enough to completely cover one open sector and one adjacent occupied sector. The DDA code performs orientational averaging by computing the scattering at discrete angles equally spaced in ϕ and β, while the angle θ is divided in uniform increments of cosθ. An important consideration in the averaging is that the computation time is roughly proportional to the number of angles (Nθ×Nϕ×Nβ) used in the averaging.
Gordon and Du [8] showed that for a homogeneous disk with D=2.7 µm using ~5000 orientations (Nθ=51, Nϕ=99, Nβ=1) for the orientational average, the error in the backscattering cross section (σb) was of the order of 5% for |m|kd <0.5, and decreased rapidly for smaller values of |m|kd. In the present work, I have always used enough dipoles to keep |m|kd <0.5 (and often <0.4) and a number of orientations that would provide approximately the same averaging accuracy as the uniform disk with D=2.7 µm. For the periodic pinwheels I used Nθ=51, Nϕ=99 and Nβ=4. The four β increments were equally spaced over one open sector and an adjacent occupied sector. Because of the symmetry, this would be equivalent to choosing Nβ=128 and 0°≤β≤360°. For the aperiodic pinwheels (with ε=1), I used Nθ=101, Nϕ=99 and Nβ=9. These latter orientations were chosen by extensive testing in which I examined the differential scattering cross section for scattering angles Θ>90°. The region 120°≤Θ≤180°, the phase functions of periodic and aperiodic pinwheels (D=2.75 µm) are highly oscillatory in Θ, and for the above choice of the orientational averaging, the observed oscillations in the periodic and aperiodic cases were similar, facilitating a fair comparison between the two. Actually, σb appears to become stable with smaller values of Nθ, Nφ and Nβ, where the orientationally-averaged phase function becomes more strongly dependent on the number of orientations, providing confidence that a sufficient number of orientations have been used. In the final analysis, the choice of the number of orientations must be balanced against computational time required.
4. Results of the computations
Figures 2 and 3 provide the results of the backscattering cross section computations for the smaller and larger pinwheels, respectively. Also shown for comparison is the result for a homogeneous disk of the same size (D and t). Note that the homogeneous disk has twice the volume (mass) of the periodic pinwheel (ε=0) and approximately twice the volume of the aperiodic pinwheels (ε>0).
Consider first the periodic pinwheels. For these, s=λ/4 occurs when t/λ=0.255 for the smaller and 0.093 for the larger pinwheel. For t/λ larger than these values, the backscattering increases rapidly with decreasing λ and then undergoes a series of maxima and minima with progressively increasing backscattering at each maximum. The backscattering at the maxima for the smaller pinwheel is, in magnitude, approximately that at the maxima for the homogeneous disk (twice the volume or mass of the pinwheel). For the larger pinwheel, it is approximately 75% of the maxima for a uniform disk. These pinwheel maxima are the result of interference of the fields scattered by the individual vanes of the pinwheel as they occur in the Rayleigh-Gans approximation as well (although only the first maximum occurs at the same position [8]). In the case of the smaller aperiodic pinwheel, when ε=0.5 its backscattering closely follows the periodic pinwheel, with the dispersion of backscattering reaching 20% at the smallest wavelength, while when ε=1.0 there is more significant deviation from the periodic case, and the dispersion is somewhat larger. Recalling that ∑Δα≈0.4εΔα=0. 4×2πε/2n, we note that the smaller pinwheel with ε=0.5 (n=5) has the same value of ∑Δα as the larger pinwheel with ε=1.0 (n=6). Interestingly, Figs. 2 (Left Panel) and 3 show that the behavior of σb with decreasing λ up to its first minimum are similar in the two cases (ε=0.5, n=5 and ε=1.0, n=6): there are only minor deviations from the periodic pinwheels; and there is small dispersion between the various realizations of the aperiodic pinwheels. In contrast, when ε is increased from 0.5 to 1.0 for the smaller pinwheel, the dispersion increases, and σb near its first maximum (t/λ≈0.4) shows a significant decrease from the ε=0 and 0.5 cases. This behavior would be expected under the hypothesis that the maxima in the periodic case results from constructive interference of light interacting with the individual vanes of the pinwheel — when the spacing and angular size of the vanes becomes random the constructive interference is reduced.
Fig. 2.
Fig. 3.
Close examination of Fig. 2 at the smaller wavelengths reveals that σb for the several realizations is ordered with increasing volume, i.e., the realization with the smallest σb has the smallest volume, etc. However, with increasing λ (decreasing t/λ) the order can reverse, particularly near the first maximum near t/λ≅0.4. Thus, there is no way to try to reduce the dispersion throughout the whole wavelength range by normalizing for volume differences. In the Rayleigh-Gans domain, t/λ<0.2 [8], for particles with identical shape, the volume effect on σb is proportional to the square of the volume. This would explain the envelope of the variation near t/λ=0.2 in Fig. 2.
Although the volume effect cannot be removed, it is important to understand that real biological particles (e.g., E huxleyi coccoliths) would display similar variations in volume. In fact, if pinwheels were to represent real biological particles, samples would be expected to consist of a number of realizations of their aperiodicity. In this regard, the average σb (denoted by 〈σb〉) is more important than that for any given realization. Figure 4 compares the 〈σb〉 for the four realizations of the aperiodicity examined here with the associated periodic pinwheel. It clearly shows that the main difference between 〈σb〉 for the small periodic and aperiodic pinwheels (left panel) occurs near the maxima in the backscattering, and that near the first maximum (but not the second) the difference increases as deviation from periodicity increases (i.e., as ε increases). Considering the large departures from periodicity for the ε=1 realizations in Fig. 1, it is remarkable that, when averaged over realizations, their 〈σb〉 is so close to that of periodic pinwheels (ε=0). As suggested in Fig. 3, Fig. 4 (right panel) shows that the 〈σb〉 for the large aperiodic pinwheel is very close to its periodic counterpart.
Fig. 4.
5. Discussion
With only two examples of periodic pinwheels and their aperiodic counterparts, it is difficult to make concrete conclusions regarding the effects of aperiodicity. However, it does appear that some general conclusions are possible. First, Figs. 2 and 3 show that in the transition from the periodic to the aperiodic pinwheel σb changes much less than compared to the transition from uniform disk to periodic pinwheel. Second, the dispersion in σb among realizations of the aperiodic pinwheels is associated with the dispersion in Δα (or s), which increases with increasing ε. Third, the aperiodic 〈σb〉 will usually be somewhat smaller than the periodic σb, at least near the position of the first (long-wave) maximum, and this decrease increases with increasing aperiodicity (ε).
Finally, I examined the deviation in the angular spacing of the "spokes" in the distal shield of the individual coccoliths provided in Fig. 2 of reference [8]. For this particular coccolith, ∑Δα/Δα~0.27, and there were 40 open angular sectors. This coccolith shield is similar in size and shape to the larger (2.75 µm) pinwheel (n=6, 32 open sectors) examined here. The computations for the larger pinwheel show that, for the purpose of computing backscattering, the periodic pinwheel is a good approximation to aperiodic pinwheel as long as ∑Δα/Δα≤0.4 (ε≤1). This suggests that replacing the aperiodic fine structure of the distal shield of E. huxleyi coccoliths with a strictly periodic fine structure will not degrade the modeling of their backscattering, especially for natural samples containing large numbers of coccoliths.

EVANSTON, Ill. -- In the offseason, Trey Burke told the media he thought the Wolverines were national title contenders.
At the time, it seemed like a stretch. There were questions worth asking: How good were the freshmen? Would the Wolverines defend? Could they really get to that next, almost imperceptible level -- where elite college hoops teams reside?
By now, it's long since official: Burke was right.
Of course, if you needed the confirmation of a 94-66 blowout at Northwestern, you probably haven't been paying attention. It's not so much that Michigan won its Big Ten road opener against a banged-up, overmatched Wildcats team in a split Welsh-Ryan Arena Thursday night. It was the manner with which the Wolverines so coolly and clinically dissected said overmatched Northwestern, the way Burke took the game over early, the way he got the Wolverines their 10-0 lead, the way he and his teammates kept pushing the pace and stretching the lead and pouring it on, the way they immediately and constantly snuffed out any and all thought of a nascent Wildcats comeback.
And it was the way the Wolverines -- starting with Burke -- all calmly shrugged the whole thing off.
"We came out, we made the right plays, and we got good shots," Burke said. "That was our goal, to come in and try to make a statement from the get-go. It's our first Big Ten game."
Burke said the Wolverines knew Northwestern guard Reggie Hearn would miss the game, and that his loss alongside guard Drew Crawford's, would make things easier for Michigan, even if he refused to acknowledge it before or after the game.
"We have to keep that attitude where guys are still doubting us," Burke said. "We can't go into a game thinking we're just going to blow a team out."
Of course, that's exactly what the Wolverines did, buoyed by a return from previously injured guard Tim Hardaway Jr., who returned from an ankle injury that kept him out of action against Central Michigan Saturday to score 21 points in 31 minutes. When Hardaway's shots started falling early -- after Burke had already crossed up Northwestern's hapless defense with noticeable, Chris Paul-esque ease -- Hardaway's hot shooting was a harbinger for the rest of the night.
By the time it was over, Michigan had shot 34-of-57 (60 percent) from the field and 13-of-22 (59 percent) from beyond the arc, and scored 1.4 points per possession on the road in their Big Ten opener.
Any way you slice it -- bad Northwestern team or no -- a 28-point road win in your Big Ten opener is some kind of statement.
"We're still trying to make believers out of a lot of people," Burke said.

Excellent staff great food and lots of space. They accommodated our party of 16 and the waitress didn't even blink an eye. Definitely will go again!
They have great steak, burgers, chicken! Awesome cheese fries!! Cool atmosphere in the basement the kids loved it!! The kids meals get served on a frisbee that they can take home how cool is that! Highly recommend!!
Love the burgers! They have not changed in the 45 years that our family has been going there. The burgers are juicy and so good.
Excellent, excellent burgers. Not a bad appetizer on the menu, but the fried curds are a must. Often wind up here more than once on our yearly trips.
We went to the Downtown location. It was pretty small, and at first I was a little unsure, given that it looks a little run down. It is actually really clean, though, and everyone was very friendly. A lot of the Trip Advisor reviews had states that it was the best burger in the Dells, but you never actually believe...
This restaurant has great burgers. Our waitress was fabulous. The two downsides to this restaurant were the funky smell of the deep frier and the freezing temperatures. Kids get their food served to them on a frisbee; which my boys thought was pretty cool.
Went to dinner with spouse and two kids. Three of us had burgers which were average. Our teenage son had the Cubano sandwhich which smelled great and everyone else wishes they would have ordered. Waitress service average. Meal with app and drinks, tip for four people $70. Would go again and get the Cubano.
To start out with, Monks in downtown is a bit small as it is very narrow but quite long. But don't let this deter you! The atmosphere is fun and the food is even better! Prices were very competitive to boot so it's a 'No Brainer'! Definitely check out the burgers! Cheese curds are great too!
The food is good enough, nothing spectacular. We had burgers and wraps and things. Service was great and the meal was timed perfectly. We chose a booth in the bar area so we could keep an eye on the sports on TV. However, by the end of the meal everyone at the table was freezing. Even the waitress commented on...

Social Media CRM & dashboards are NOT ready for Prime Time
March 23, 2012
The focus of many companies who have now jumped into Social Media efforts has been to work out their strategy and tactical implementation but the tool sets they have to manage them aren't finished being built. Social CRM and Social Media dashboards are still in the development stage. No one has it right yet. Well, almost no one. It's not that they're not trying, the problem stems from what their perception of the requirements of what is needed by the consumer. Each approaches it from a different 'starting point" so the functionality, although similar, isn't quite the same. Let's take a look at CRM and Social Dashbaords separately & you'll see what I mean.

Check out Helio Castroneves in bright yellow zoot suit: The Penske Files blooper reel, Part 2
Jun 27, 2014, 9:02 PM EDT
Team Penske had so much fun producing its first bloopers/outtake reel last week that it came back with Part 2 in this week's edition of The Penske Files.
While we like the first part of the second blooper "highlights" with Juan Pablo Montoya trying to figure out what shirt to wear, our favorite part is when Helio Castroneves comes busting in in a takeoff of Jim Carey's dance number from "The Mask" (about 0:35 in the video).
And Helio even wears Carey's fluorescent yellow zoot suit and hat. Trust us, it's worth a look-see.
If there's one thing we find disappointing, it's that there weren't even more bloopers.
Unless there's a Part 3 bloopers/outtake reel in the works.
We can only hope.
In the meantime, check out Part 2 in the video below:

I decided to make her a pseudo scrabble tile wall art with the names of all of her grandchildren! I think it's perfect for her! I know, I know, names aren't allowed in the game of Scrabble. Too bad, I'm making my own rules with this one!
Wanna make one too? Follow along and I'll show you how.
Step 1: Cut
When purchasing your boards, be sure to check the face of the board for knots. You want boards that are as knot-free as possible. It's not even that important if the boards are warped or not, since you'll be cutting them into tiny pieces, but you don't want to have knots showing on your finished tiles.
I picked up some really nice boards at Lowe's. They were really clean, and most importantly, they had edges that were already a bit rounded.
Cut your wood into squares and sand the edges. My dad got me a grinding wheel some time back and it works wonderfully for smoothing the edges.
Step 2: Shop
I tried several office supply stores and craft stores for the pre-cut vinyl letters, but none of them were the right font or right size. Plus, I would have had to purchase several packages, which would have made this project too expensive to be practical.
I also looked into stencils, but with alphabet stencils, the letters are usually choppy as part of the design for holding the cutouts in place.
I also looked at stamps. I knew it was very unlikely that I would find 1.5" stamps in the font I needed, for under $10. And of course, I didn't. I did find a set of number stamps that were just right.
I still liked the idea of stamping, I just needed the letters. At Michael's, I found the perfect size and perfect font in this canister of adhesive foam shapes! I was set!!
Step 3: Cut
Step 4: Glue
Step 5: Prepare
I used the crossword maker to come up with my layout. If you put your names in and don't like the arrangement, just click the "create my puzzle" button again and it will do a different form. I had to try it a number of times before I got a shape I was happy with. Also, just a note, sometimes it won't use all the names for some reason, so check the note at the bottom of the puzzle indicating how many words were used to be sure you don't leave anyone out.
If you do this step before stamping, it will reduce the number of letter tiles you need, since some of them are used twice. Before I started stamping, I counted how many of each letter was needed.
Once the Scrabble tiles and stamps were made, the rest went super fast!
Step 6: Stamp
Step 8: Position
I laid them out on a flat surface and began gluing them together. I used basic Elmer's wood glue to secure mine and it worked great, but it's important to really let the glue dry before messing with it. It seems like it's holding after about 15 minutes, but any significant force will pop it apart. If I had it to do over, I think I would first glue the horizontal names, let them dry, then arrange the vertical names into the horizontal names.
Step 9: Secure
Step 10: Hang
I also had to work with the puzzle maker function a bit, until I found one with their names together, then I altered the design a bit, shuffling their names to the center. It was basically a lot like playing Scrabble.
I also tried including their last name, but thought it was inconsistent with the rest of the first-name-only list. If I do another, I think it would be cool to do just an immediate family, and then have the last name included/darker. I'll post if I ever get around to that.
The last thing I did was spray a clear coat sealer on it. The stamping ink is water-based and it isn't pretty if any water gets on the tiles. Trust me on that. A thin coating of spray varnish worked fine for me, but try it on a test tile first, to be sure the sealer doesn't do bad things to it. And for the next one I do, I'm going to spray the tiles individually before I even start to glue them together. It's amazing how easily the stamping ink smudges.
For more information or to see more of my original tutorials, visit childmadetutorials.blogspot.com
Or cut your stamp backs the same size as the tile. you would have to take time to position the letters, but only once.
I have done this same thing years ago with scrabble tiles and board.. I have had more grand kids since then, and they will not fit on the Scrabble board. This would be a great alternative to using the board and being limited in space.
Nice work.
Thanks for your thoughts!
I did not have to touch up my first batch (the one pictured.) They turned out just as-is, which was awesome since I was under a real crunch for Christmast. However, when I did the second arrangement after Christmas for my bro and sis-in-law, I found that some of the letters were bleeding. I found it to be one of two things --- either the section board was more porous, which was unpredictable since it was mostly the same board, or the stamp pad was just two "wet." I got my best results from a "pigment" pad. I'm not a stamper so I don't know what the difference is, I think I just lucked out. But it could explain why the tiles would smear so incredibly easy for me.
If I do another, I'm going to try sealing the tiles first and see how the stamping works. I don't have one lined up right away but I can post the results.
And --WOW!-- too many grandkids to fit on a scrabble board! Congratulations!

I've been pretty quiet on here lately due to some of my materials being backordered so I haven't been doing much kit packing. On top of that, my shop is being remodeled, and on top of that, I started another small business! I had been taking Plexus supplements for a couple of months, and have felt so much better I decided to become a distributor for them. If you haven't heard of it yet, you will soon! It works by targeting blood sugar and gut health, which are foundational for so many things, and are greatly affected by our unhealthy American lifestyle... So if you or anyone you know has blood sugar issues, or wants to lose some weight, this stuff is great! It is helping with many of my Lyme disease symptoms, and I have heard several testimonials of other people saying the same thing, along with other chronic illnesses, so that's why I started it. It is all natural, and generally can be done along with anything else you are already doing. The Triplex combo is the best place to start. And if you try it and love it, it's a great business that is so easy to start. If you have questions, email me at email@example.com Here is a link to my website: (click the image)
So, I have had tons more energy lately, which means I have been exercising more. I got an app for my phone to track my walking, so then I had to make a belt with a pocket to put my phone in! It's mostly lycra, with some batik for the pocket, then it attaches with Velcro.
Quilting with zig zag?!
At a recent class, a student was frustrated with how wobbly her free motion stitching was, so she asked for help. It turned out she had the machine set on zig zag, it wasn't her shaky hands! But it actually looked kind of cool, so when I got home I had to try it!
We are finally getting some rain, at least here, which is a welcome relief. It seems the whole state is on fire, lots of smoke this week. Luckily the basement of our new shop, where we pack kits, is cool and smoke free, we have spent a lot of time there!
The shop...
Getting lots done at the shop, we're almost ready to start packing kits there! Today my daughter was opening a first aid kit to put in there, and found this rather startling page in the little booklet that came in it. Step by step amputation??? :-) (not really, of course, but that's what it looked like!)
It's been very hot and dry here, and there are lots of forest fires around the state, I heard 130 NEW ones over the weekend, praying we get rain soon!
50th Anniversary card
This is a card I made for some friends who celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary this week. Karen is also a quilter, and has been supporting me since pretty much the beginning of my sewing career! I tried to match the binding on this one, to make the picture a little bigger, I didn't get it exactly right, but ran out of time to fix it! It is a 1/3 sheet of paper size.
Our sale is still going, through tomorrow: buy any of the 6 new kits, (the ones pictured below plus the leaf table runner) and receive any paper pattern free, up to $12 value. To get your free kit, email me at firstname.lastname@example.com with the pattern you would like, after you place your order for the kit.
Class today, and more moving into the new shop!
Big news!!
Well, big news in our world anyway! We are very excited to be moving the cardboard boxes and piles of stuff OUT of our house, and into this cute little shop. It is conveniently located right next to the Material Girls Quilt Shop (on College Road, for local people. I meant to take a photo with both shops, I'll have to do that tomorrow...) We will have space for kit packing, probably a retail area (with limited hours for now), classroom space, and space for our sewing group from church, Friends With Purpose, to meet as well! We're just starting to get moved in, I will post when we have an open house!
And it's even walking distance to the Farmer's Market and our favorite falafel place, what more could we want? :-)
Remember, we are having a sale through Sunday, buy one kit, get a printed pattern free!
In honor of our new 'pattern only' versions of the 6 newest designs, we are having a Buy one, Get one sale. If you buy any of these kits, you can have a pattern only one (of any design) free, a $12 value. To receive your free pattern, order your kit, then send an e-mail to firstname.lastname@example.com telling us which pattern you would like and we will include it with your order. Or, contact us through the contact form page, either way works.
The patterns include all of the pattern pieces and instructions, including a little help with choosing fabrics, since there are so many in each design. You can use this offer as many times as you want, now through Sunday, June 14.
I've missed a few days on here thanks to another trip to Anchorage. It's always such a pretty drive, (and thanks to LOTS of road construction I had plenty of chances to take pictures...) I have to put in a photo of that too! Happy Sewing!
Swan quilt
I had an idea for another free motion practice project today, but I ran out of time to make it, so it's back to the archives again! This was an online challenge through Quilting Arts Magazine a few years ago, a swan quilt based on a photo they posted. This one got me a Grand Champion ribbon at the fair one year too, it was a fun little project. The nest is part applique, part free motion, and a little bit of colored pencils to add shadows. The feathers are free motion stitched. I made the swan separately with brocade and wool batting, then added to the quilt for more dimension.
Keepsake Quilting catalog
The new Keepsake quilting catalog is out, this time with 6 of our kits! Here is a link to an online 'flip through' version, we are on page 21!
Keepsake Quilting catalog
Free motion sampler
I've been wanting to make a new sample quilt for my free motion quilting classes for awhile, and I finally got an idea for a pretty quick and easy, but still fun one! I just made several shapes and filled in each one with a different color and design. I designed mine on the computer, but you could even go around your house and look for different sizes of plates and boxes to trace to make the shapes. I went around the outlines twice so they would show up better. I never got a great photo, that's something I still need to learn more about. If I could get the quilting to show up, the fabric looks blue...if the fabric looks white, which it is, the thread started to disappear...
See my
"Free Motion Fun!" page for more quick or advanced free motion ideas!
And, a reminder that our wall hangings and table runners are now available in 'pattern only' form, as well as kits! (link below)
'Pattern only' versions are here!
Personally, I think the Starr Fabrics are what make these designs. :-) But, I know there are quilters out there with stashes to use, or who would like these in different colors. so they are finally now available in pattern only versions, they are $12 each. I'd love to see what you do with these with different fabrics! If you make one, send a photo to me at email@example.com, or put one up on the
On The Trail Creations facebook page.
Click a photo to go to the home page with all of the designs, or hover over the kits-patterns-home tab above to go to individual ones.
Beret Nelson
I am a homeschooling mom of three fun kids, who are now old enough that I have a little time to pursue my passion for sewing. After several years of making quilted cards and art quilts, I'm now starting to design kits and patterns Some of these are now available from Keepsake Quilting also. I teach classes at a local quilt shop, The Material Girls, and would love to do more traveling and teaching eventually. I am blessed to live in Alaska where I am surrounded by the inspiration provided by the beauty of God's creation!

A fight between Wisconsin's divided Supreme Court justices led Monday to a criminal investigation and calls from the governor and others to resolve longstanding differences and restore public confidence in the institution.
Liberal Justice Ann Walsh Bradley told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel that conservative Justice David Prosser tried to choke her during an argument in her state Capitol office on June 13, the day before the court handed down a decision upholding a new law that eliminates most public employees' collective bargaining rights. Prosser has denied the allegations.
Dane County Sheriff David Mahoney said his office has opened an investigation into the incident at the request of Capitol Police Chief Charles Tubbs, whose agency had original jurisdiction because the argument allegedly took place in the Capitol building.
Tubbs said in a statement he asked the sheriff to handle the matter after consulting with members of the court. He didn't elaborate and a spokeswoman for the agency that oversees the Capitol Police didn't immediately respond to a message.
The state judicial commission, which oversees judicial conduct, announced Monday afternoon that it opened a probe on Friday. The commission could ultimately make a discipline recommendation to the Supreme Court, potentially putting the justices in a position to rule on the fate of one of their colleagues.
Gov. Scott Walker, who pushed the union law as a means of saving money, said the justices must end their long-standing divisions for the sake of public confidence in the court.
Howard Schweber, a University of Wisconsin-Madison political science and law professor, said the tensions between the justices reflect a more partisan atmosphere on the court. Large injections of special interest money into the justices' campaigns have turned the court into a political battleground, he said.
The latest incident has turned the court into a "laughingstock" and reduced a once-respected institution into fodder for late-night comedy shows, Schweber said.

We have a government which, unfortunately, has a long and sordid history of
secrecy. Daniel Ellsberg and the Pentagon Papers come to mind immediately.
There there were the Reagan weapons scandals. Bay of Pigs. LBJ and Nixon and
Viet Nam. The illusive WMDs in Iraq.
We need to thank this Senator for his wisdom.

Cong putting together high-voltage campaign in Kar
Bangalore: Congress in Karnataka is putting together a high-voltage campaign for the May five assembly polls, with Sonia Gandhi, Rahul Gandhi and Prime Minister Manmohan slated to address public meetings even as it is set to unleash celebrity power.
Congress Campaign committee today held a meeting chaired by Veeranna Mathikatti and discussed the strategy. Mathikatti said party President Sonia Gandhi, Vice-President Rahul Gandhi and Singh would address public rallies.
The party would field popular Kannada actors Darshan, Ramya and Bhavana, who is a member of the committee, to woo the voters, besides Kannada film veteran Ambareesh who is also a contender for the assembly ticket, party sources said.
Meanwhile, Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee premises became a venue for protests as well as celebrations. Though the party is yet to officially announce the list, supporters of those who are believed to have got the ticket were in cheerful mood. Loyalists of those who feared they lost out held noisy demonstrations.
"There are so many contenders and we can`t satisfy everybody. It`s normal for those who fail to get ticket to protest. Congress workers would not work against the party and the candidates", said the Leader of Opposition in the assembly Siddaramaiah said while seeking to downplay the protests.
Both Congress and ruling BJP are expected to announce their first list of candidates later this week. The first day of filing nominations is on April ten.
There was speculation over whether Ministers Umesh Katti, Murugesh Nirani and V Somanna would quit BJP and join B S Yeddyurappa`s Karnataka Janatha Paksha (KJP). Katti made it clear in Belgaum today he would contest on a BJP ticket. "The rumours that I will join KJP is the creation of the media".
There were indications from Nirani and Somanna today that they would remain in the ruling party.
Meanwhile, BJP MLA from Lingasagur, Manappa Vajjal, quit the party today to join JD(S). He would contest the election on a JD(S) ticket.
JD(S) MLA from Maddur Kalpana Siddaraju quit the party today after she was denied a ticket. She has now sought a ticket from the Congress.

KCNA accuses US, allies of cyberattacks
North Korea's state-run news agency accused the U.S. and its allies of being behind a series of cyberattacks that have forced its web sites offline for much of the last two days.
"Intensive and persistent virus attacks are being made every day on internet servers operated by the DPRK. These cannot be construed otherwise than despicable and base acts of the hostile forces consternated by the toughest measures taken by the DPRK after launching an all-out action," the news agency said in a commentary.
The report represents the first recognition by North Korean state media of the cyberattacks.
The handful of web sites based in the country became difficult or impossible to connect to two days ago with no explanation. North Korean web sites routinely go offline for periods of a few hours or up to a day, but this was the first time that all of the country's web sites went offline at the same time.
"It is ridiculous, indeed, for the hostile forces to mount such virus attacks on the DPRK's internet servers, much upset by the all-out action of its army and people to defend the sovereignty of the country and the nation. They are seriously mistaken if they think they can quell the DPRK's voices of justice through such base acts," KCNA said.
The news agency offered no details of the attack or evidence of its source.
Just as with South Korea's occasional allegations that the north is behind attacks on its Internet services, it's almost impossible to find the true source of an Internet attack. Hackers will often take several steps to disguise their identity and location so an attack that looks like it's coming from one place is actually coming from another.
At time of writing, all North Korean web sites are accessible.
The full report is below.
Pyongyang, March 15 (KCNA) — There are very disturbing developments against the backdrop of the ever mounting moves of the U.S. and its allies to stifle the DPRK.
Intensive and persistent virus attacks are being made every day on internet servers operated by the DPRK. These cannot be construed otherwise than despicable and base acts of the hostile forces consternated by the toughest measures taken by the DPRK after launching an all-out action.
What should not be overlooked is that such cyber attack is timed to coincide with the madcap Key Resolve joint military exercises being staged by the U.S. and other hostile forces.
It is nobody's secret that the U.S. and south Korean puppet regime are massively bolstering up cyber forces in a bid to intensify the subversive activities and sabotages against the DPRK.
The DPRK will never remain a passive onlooker to the enemies' cyber attacks that have reached a very grave phase as part of their moves to stifle it.
It is ridiculous, indeed, for the hostile forces to mount such virus attacks on the DPRK's internet servers, much upset by the all-out action of its army and people to defend the sovereignty of the country and the nation.
They are seriously mistaken if they think they can quell the DPRK's voices of justice through such base acts.
The U.S. and its allies should be held wholly accountable for the ensuing consequences. — KCNA, March 15, 2013.

A recently-launched iPhone app that delivers articles from the Korean Central News Agency to iPhones and iPads has been banned in South Korea.

"Mass intimidation" from DPRK media on Jang's execution
about 1 year ago - 1 comment
North Korean state media's coverage of the arrest, trial and subsequent execution of Jang Song Thaek was "tantamount to mass intimidation," Reporters Without Borders said on Thursday.

North Korean media announces execution of Jang
about 1 year ago - 3 comments
High-level purges in North Korea have been typically quiet affairs in the past. Rumors would circulate that someone had been removed from office, state media would be analyzed for mentions of the person's name and confirmation would usually only come months or years later when they either reemerged or someone else appeared in a position…

Latest Headlines
T-Mobile US prepaid unit MetroPCS expects to see benefits from AT&T Mobility's purchase of Leap Wireless and Leap's Cricket prepaid brand, according to a senior MetroPCS executive. If that notion seems paradoxical--a major competitor moving more aggressively into the prepaid market actually being a positive development--Tom Keys, executive vice president and COO of T-Mobile's MetroPCS unit, does not seem to think so.
AT&T Mobility's prepaid brand Aio Wireless is seeking to assuage customer concerns that their service will be disrupted once AT&T finalizes its purchase of Leap Wireless and Leap's Cricket prepaid brand.
Leap Wireless shareholders voted to approve AT&T's $1.2 billion acquisition of the company on Wednesday, leaving only regulatory approvals in the way of the deal's closing.
Today is Halloween, so it's time to pull out your costumes, light up your jack-o-lanterns, turn on a horror movie or two--and of course, go trick-or-treating (either by yourself or… with your kids). It's also time to take a light-hearted break from the third-quarter earnings season rush: Just like we did in 2012 and 2011, FierceWireless in 2013 has taken a look inside the minds of some of the industry's top executives to see what really scares them. These nightmares are scenarios that could plausibly come to pass within the next year.
AT&T reported stronger subscriber growth and posted record smartphone sales in the third quarter. The company is plowing ahead with its LTE network deployment and thinks its network strength will insulate it from intensifying competition in the market.
U.S. Cellular and Sprint prepaid brand Boost Mobile confirmed they will begin selling Apple's iPhone 5s and 5c models on Nov. 8, becoming the last major U.S. carriers to do so.
AT&T Mobility plans to close its new Aio Wireless prepaid brand if the carrier is successful in acquiring regional prepaid wireless operator Leap Wireless, which offers service through the Cricket brand.
How did the wireless industry perform in the third quarter of 2013? Check here throughout the third-quarter earnings report season for full earnings reports from the wireless industry's carriers,...
Retailer Target confirmed it will team with T-Mobile US to launch a new prepaid wireless service dubbed "Brightspot" starting this weekend.
T-Mobile US will power a new prepaid wireless service that retailer Target plans to offer starting this weekend, according to several postings on the Web.
