it is so true! people who LOVE to quilt the layers do take your work to a whole other level with their added design.. it's amazing!ReplyDelete
She quilted it beautifully! I agree that inspiration does truly build upon itself!:)ReplyDelete
I love your quilt! I get Fat Quarterly and printed the pattern!ReplyDelete
I love your quilt and the quilting is incredible! She did a remarkable job! I would love to get her to quilt some tops for me. In reading about your quilt, you mentioned that the fabric was by Valerie Wells. Valerie used to work at the quilt shop where I live when she was much younger. In fact she taught my daughter's sewing class. Small world,isn't it? Love & blessings from NC!ReplyDelete
Great quilt!ReplyDelete
I'm sure it feels wonderful to have spent such time making the quilt to only have it enhanced and given back....it is beautiful...she has done a lovely job.ReplyDelete
I know exactly what you mean. I love the amazing job that professional machine quilters do. It makes a great quilt even better.ReplyDelete
xo -E
I popped over to her blog...Wow the quilting is gorgeous!!ReplyDelete
Actually, I think you did a very good job of explaining yourself, John. And I quite agree! I don't understand why some quilters act like it's some sort of crime or cheat to have a quilt long arm quilted. The quilting can really add so much more to a quilt and take it to another level. Long arm quilting is anart in the same way designing and constructing the quilt is. Sometimes I do my own quilting and sometimes I entrust my quilts to my good friend and longarm quilter so she can perform her magic. She constantly amazes me!ReplyDelete
I know what you mean about a good quilter's inspiration....love your blogReplyDelete
hi John! My first visit to yr blog and just AMAZING!!! youre a MASTER, keep on working hard, youre a true inspiration to many of us.ReplyDelete
What a neat quilt! I will have to look into getting the quarterly soon!ReplyDelete

|Spectacular Fire South of Blowing Rock
|Written by Steve Frank
|Tuesday, 27 November 2012 08:49
A huge woods fire north of Lenoir yesterday blackened a large area—probably 100 acres. As darkness fell, the High Eagle Fire was a spectacular sight, firemen having a hard time getting to the rugged area about 8-miles north of Lenoir in the Nelson's Chapel area. The North Carolina
Forest Service brought in a helicopter to fight the fire, but the best help was the overnight rain—not a lot of rain, but the increased moisture helping quell the spread of the fire. The forest service says there are no homes in the area but they were expecting this fire to grow from about a dozen acres to nearly one hundred overnight.

16 U.S. Code § 2101 - Findings, purpose, and policy
prev | next
(a) Findings
Congress finds that—
(1) most of the productive forest land of the United States is in private, State, and local governmental ownership, and the capacity of the United States to produce renewable forest resources is significantly dependent on such non-Federal forest lands;
(2) adequate supplies of timber and other forest resources are essential to the United States, and adequate supplies are dependent on efficient methods for establishing, managing, and harvesting trees and processing, marketing, and using wood and wood products;
(3) nearly one-half of the wood supply of the United States comes from nonindustrial private timberlands and such percentage could rise with expanded assistance programs;
(4) managed forest lands provide habitats for fish and wildlife, as well as aesthetics, outdoor recreation opportunities, and other forest resources;
(5) the soil, water, and air quality of the United States can be maintained and improved through good stewardship of privately held forest resources;
(6) insects and diseases affecting trees occur and sometimes create emergency conditions on all land, whether Federal or non-Federal, and efforts to prevent and control such insects and diseases often require coordinated action by both Federal and non-Federal land managers;
(7) fires in rural areas threaten human lives, property, forests and other resources, and Federal-State cooperation in forest fire protection has proven effective and valuable;
(9) managed forests contribute to improving the quality, quantity, and timing of water yields that are of broad benefit to society;
(10) over half the forest lands of the United States are in need of some type of conservation treatment;
(11) forest landowners are being faced with increased pressure to convert their forest land to development and other purposes;
(12) increased population pressures and user demands are being placed on private, as well as public, landholders to provide a wide variety of products and services, including fish and wildlife habitat, aesthetic quality, and recreational opportunities;
(13) stewardship of privately held forest resources requires a long-term commitment that can be fostered through local, State, and Federal governmental actions;
(14) the Department of Agriculture, through the coordinated efforts of its agencies with forestry responsibilities, cooperating with other Federal agencies, State foresters, and State political subdivisions, has the expertise and experience to assist private landowners in achieving individual goals and public benefits regarding forestry;
(15) the products and services resulting from nonindustrial private forest land stewardship provide income and employment that contribute to the economic health and diversity of rural communities; [1]
(16) sustainable agroforestry systems and tree planting in semiarid lands can improve environmental quality and maintain farm yields and income; and [1]
(18) [2] the same forest resource supply, protection, and management issues that exist in the United States are also present on an international scale, and the forest and rangeland renewable resources of the world are threatened by deforestation due to conversion to agriculture of lands better suited to other purposes, over-grazing, over-harvesting, and other causes which pose a direct adverse threat to people, the global environment, and the world economy. [1]
(b) Purpose
It is the purpose of this chapter to authorize the Secretary of Agriculture (hereafter in this chapter referred to as the "Secretary"), with respect to non-Federal forest lands in the United States, and forest lands in foreign countries, of the United States, to assist in—
(1) the establishment of a coordinated and cooperative Federal, State, and local forest stewardship program for management of the non-Federal forest lands;
(8) broadening existing forest management, fire protection, and insect and disease protection programs on non-Federal forest lands to meet the multiple use objectives of landowners in an environmentally sensitive manner;
(9) providing opportunities to private landowners to protect ecologically valuable and threatened non-Federal forest lands; and
(10) strengthening educational, technical, and financial assistance programs that provide assistance to owners of non-Federal forest lands in the United States, and forest lands in foreign countries,. [3]
(c) Priorities
In allocating funds appropriated or otherwise made available under this chapter, the Secretary shall focus on the following national private forest conservation priorities, notwithstanding other priorities specified elsewhere in this chapter:
(2) Protecting forests from threats, including catastrophic wildfires, hurricanes, tornados, windstorms, snow or ice storms, flooding, drought, invasive species, insect or disease outbreak, or development, and restoring appropriate forest types in response to such threats.
(d) Reporting requirement
Not later than September 30, 2011, the Secretary shall submit to Congress a report describing how funds were used under this chapter, and through other programs administered by the Secretary, to address the national priorities specified in subsection (c) and the outcomes achieved in meeting the national priorities.
(e) Policy
It is the policy of Congress that it is in the national interest for the Secretary to work through and in cooperation with State foresters, or equivalent State officials, nongovernmental organizations, and the private sector in implementing Federal programs affecting non-Federal forest lands.
(f) Construction

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) — Shares of 3D Systems Corp., Facebook Inc. and Aéropostale Inc. made big moves during U.S. trading Monday, while Apple Inc. and Yahoo Inc. were among top trending tickers.
Top tickers trending
$AAPL: Apple AAPL, +2.39% shares extended gains to close 3.2% higher. The AllThingsD blog is reporting that the iPhone maker has reached a deal to offer iTunes credits via Facebook Gifts just in time for the holiday gift-giving season. Read: iTunes cards come to Facebook
@Prospectus: BREAKING: US Treasury to drop dollar, to be replaced with shares of $AAPL; thousands of hipsters are billionaires overnight
$YHOO: Yahoo shares YHOO, +0.46% rose 1%. Goldman Sachs added it to its conviction list and raised Yahoo's 12-month price target to $24 from $22.
"With capital-allocation actions serving as a catalyst to drive a revaluation in the stock, we believe the value of Yahoo's balance-sheet assets and the core business are worth more than the current stock price," analysts at Goldman wrote in a note. "In our opinion, this revaluation, along with recent clarity on the turnaround and channel checks signaling effective management of the organization's structure, investments and finances, creates a very attractive risk/reward scenario, particularly given the early reaction in the stock to the buyback and the roughly 75% of the buyback that still remains."
Still, the analysts noted that key risks remain in the company's ability to monetize the remainder of the balance-sheet assets, in its transition to mobile and in the relationship between Microsoft Corp. MSFT, -0.72% and Yahoo.
"With five CEOs in the past two years, the company's overall turnaround strategy remains uncertain. We view the most recent management changes to be incrementally positive given the new CEO's technology background and [Marissa Mayer's] success at Google. However, the level of technological turnaround needed for the company to be able to successfully increase user engagement and return to profitable growth could take years, in our view," they added.
Mayer took over as Yahoo's chief executive in July.
@kem312: By the way, love the Goldman upgrade of $YHOO after the recent run. Good work, young vampires.
$AMZN: Shares of Amazon.com Inc. AMZN, +1.25% gained 1.6%. The key player in the Cyber Monday shopping plans to issue $2.5 billion worth of senior unsecured notes. Moody's Investors Service on Monday rated the bonds at Baa1. This is Moody's first rating on Amazon.com since ratings were withdrawn in March 2009. A portion of the funds raised via the offering will be used to buy Amazon's corporate headquarters.
@ActAccordingly: What would $AMZN do w/the cash? Their stock is pretty valuable currency for any M&A. Maybe bigger content deals are on the horizon for Prime.
$TGT: Retailers including discounter Target Corp. TGT, +0.24% drew attention after signs that consumers were out shopping en masse over the Thanksgiving weekend. Data from comScore Inc. showed Target was among those websites that drew the most e-commerce traffic on Black Friday. Read: Cyber Monday sales could reach $1.5 billion.
@Macke: $BBY shareholders hoping $TGT makes a bid are like Jets fans hoping Tom Brady replaces Sanchez. Not happening. #frownyface

Is it Intel or PowerPC chip?
I dropped the money and got a 2.0Ghz Macbook. It rocks big time, and I plan to soon have Ubunto or Fedora running in a dual boot setup. I may go for a tri-boot, but its not all that likely.
This is where proprietary can be worth it. Kinda weird not using Fedora or Ubuntu doing browsing though ....
Is it Intel or PowerPC chip?
Intel Core Duo. Centrino technology, Mac OS X 10.4. Can't get too much better than that.Originally Posted by Compunuts
The one serious conviction that a man should have is that nothing is to be taken too seriously.
Where facts are few, experts are many.
Sooooooo hot. I was going to go for the Macbook Pro but I balked and decided to wait until the hardware issues are ironed out. How you finding OS X?
Oh and if you want to feel a little more at home, you can get Firefox for the Mac, or you can download Camino, my weapon of choice.
I lost my self-respect at Wes' Rib House
IMHO, Apple is always over priced. But then again, it's nice to have the whole package kinda deal. But if you LOVE bleeding edge, it's hard to keep up with Apple's offereing.
Apple has made the prices alot better over the last ... 10 years or so. I paid 1449 or so for the notebook with upgrades (1gb/80gb/2ghz Core Duo/long life battery).
The few things that I am not used to is:
Cedega not being there ;D
Most apps that are default dont suck that badly (Adium and Firefox are the two that superceded the defaults)
Otherwise it is a step and then some from my Toshiba that barely worked and had at best 1:15 battery life (if I didnt do anything) :30 of real usage. 4:00 is alot nicer real world.
I havent gotten to dualing with Ubuntu or Fedora quite yet. Too busy with real life. Perhaps this weekend or early next week. Either way, the following week after next I have my last shutdown at work and I _WILL_ have it done by the end of that or all hell is gonna break out! (That and SchottMyth, the PVR in the works that has been delayed for one dumbshit reason or another).
the look of the mac is different. the 4 handles on the powermac.
the see-thru cord. the case that opens so easy. the most popular unix distro ever. the feel of the keyboard keys on my powerbook. care and thought has been given to every little deal. no, i cant afford a new one, my olds ones with mac osx work just fine. yes, i drool over a new g5 or a new powerbook or macmini.
think about it: mac has brought *nix into the mainstream and many users of macs dont even know it.
i remember i bought my first [used] mac with os 10.
i asked the seller: "how do u open the terminal?"
seller: whats the terminal?
me: i mean, the console, the command line. how do u open it?
seller: im not sure i understand what u mean.
some guys have all the luck, some guys get all the fame,
some guys get all the breaks, some guys they do nothing but complain.-----Rod Stewart

The North Dakota legislature has passed a pair of bills that, if signed by Republican Governor Jack Dalrymple, will give the state the most restrictive abortion ban in the nation. On March 15 the state senate gave its final approval to a bill that would ban most abortions after the sixth week of pregnancy, as well as another measure prohibiting a woman from having an abortion because of indications her pre-born baby has a genetic defect such as Down syndrome. The bill would also ban abortions based on sex selection.
Passage of the measures comes just a week after Arkansas Governor Mike Beebe signed legislation banning abortion in that state after 12 weeks of pregnancy, a law that is slated to go into effect this summer. North Dakota Gov. Dalrymple is expected to announce his intentions on the abortion bills within days.
Proponents of the bills said the goal is to challenge the Supreme Court's 1973 Roe v. Wade ruling that effectively legalized abortion throughout the United States at up to 22-24 weeks of pregnancy. The pro-life North Dakota Family Alliance Action explained that the purpose of the Heartbeat Bill (HB 1456) is to stop abortion if an unborn child has a detectable heartbeat. "We all know the significance of a beating heart," the group said in a statement. "We may have witnessed the loss of a loved one being cared for in a hospital, one moment hearing the presence of the heartbeat via the heart monitoring machine, the next moment experiencing the deafening silence of a heart beating no more. The heartbeat offers an undeniable truth about life.... Just as we protect life, a living being, until that heart stops beating, no matter the age, we must afford that same protection when that heartbeat becomes detectable in the unborn."
The group told LifeNews.com that the "issue of abortion may become complex at times, and obviously has for many years — as we have witnessed the discussion and debate. But the issue becomes very simple, if we go back to a very foundational truth — that we as a people, as a government, are to secure and protect the right of life."

Video: Schools Could Suffer if State Exams Are Skipped
BUFFALO, NY - School districts are trying to protect the much-needed state and federal dollars they rely on. They're challenged by families who think there's too much testing in schools and refuse to allow their kids to take mandatory tests.
"I don't believe that they're an effective tool to evaluate children. I think it's a way for NYS to evaluate teachers. It's not helping our kids in school," said Gina Kemna. The North Tonawanda mother will not let her children take state tests scheduled after the Easter break.
Western New York for Public Education is holding a meeting on Thursday, April 4, 2013 at Kenmore Alliance Church, 175 Bonnett Avenue, 6:30 p.m. It is free and open to the public.
If there aren't enough students taking the exams and evaluations drop below required levels, then teachers and the district may get poor reviews. State law has put in effect a permanent system to evaluate teachers. And, if their reviews are bad, state and federal funding for districts could be reduced. This would result in various programs and perhaps staff positions being put into jeopardy.
"The parents who are choosing to opt their children out of state tests or any district test now, I don't agree with that, but it's not my right to disagree with them," said Mark Mondanaro, the superintendent for Ken-Ton School District.
Ken-Ton Schools are informing parents with online letters, not to opt out of assessment tests. District officials have instructed school principals to inform families that skipping the mandatory tests can affect the student's education, because teachers will not be sure how students are progressing. Mondanaro says that the district has also created a committee of teachers and administrators just to deal with test assessment issues within its schools.
"It's real life, welcome to it, you got to do some things in life that you don't want to do and you got to take some tests and the school needs to know how their students are progressing," said Mondanaro.
Ken-Ton Schools says its heard from a handful of parents saying they're not going to allow their children to take mandatory tests because they feel there's too much testing in schools already.
"The position that we take is the same as that is taken by the state that there is not an opt out provision -- that every child is expected to take standardized tests," said Dr. Pamela Brown, the superintendent for Buffalo Schools.
Among the many government dollars that the district has gotten and continues to receive, includes $2.5 million from the Race to the Top fund.
"It's real life, welcome to it, you gotta do some things in life that you don't want to do and you got to take some tests and the school needs to know how their students are progressing," said Mondanaro.
Mondanaro is also concerned that more parents will decide to opt out of tests.
The state Department of Education requires just about all students third grade and up to be assessed in some form. It's unclear how much districts could lose if this becomes a big problem.
According to state law, all school districts need to have a teacher assessment system by June 1st.

The Stupidest Angel: A Heartwarming Tale of Christmas Terrorby Christopher Moore
Staff Pick
Please, Santa, come back from the dead! World-class satirist Christopher Moore is here just in time for the holidays.
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Christmas crept into Pine Cove like a creeping Christmas thing: dragging garland, ribbon, and sleigh bells, oozing eggnog, reeking of pine, and threatening festive doom like a cold sore under the mistletoe.
'Twas the night (okay, more like the week) before Christmas, and all through the tiny community of Pine Cove, California, people are busy buying, wrapping, packing, and generally getting into the holiday spirit. It is the hap-hap-happiest time of the year, after all.
But not everybody is feeling the joy. Little Joshua Barker is in desperate need of a holiday miracle. No, he's not on his deathbed; no, his dog hasn't run away from home. But Josh is sure that he saw Santa take a shovel to the head, and now the seven-year-old has only one prayer: Please, Santa, come back from the dead.
But hold on! There's an angel waiting in the wings. (Wings, get it?) It's none other than the Archangel Raziel come to Earth seeking a small child with a wish that needs granting. Unfortunately, our angel's not sporting the brightest halo in the bunch, and before you can say Kris Kringle, he's botched his sacred mission and sent the residents of Pine Cove headlong into Christmas chaos, culminating in the most hilarious and horrifying holiday party the town has ever seen.
Only Christopher Moore, the man who brought you the outrageous lost gospel Lamb and the hysterical fish tale Fluke could have devised a new holiday classic that tugs at the heartstrings and serves up a healthy slice of fruitcake to boot.
Move over, Charles Dickens — it's Christopher Moore time.
"Hilarity abounds in Moore's latest satirical gem. Sleepy Pine Cove, Calif., is abuzz with Christmas spirit, but Lena Marquez is fed up with her despicable ex-husband, Dale Pearson. On his way home from playing Santa Claus at the local lodge, Dale spies sneaky Lena uprooting his Monterey pines; he pulls a gun on her, she lashes out with a shovel and — oops! — kills him. Seven-year-old Josh Barker, thinking he's just seen the murder of Santa, prays for a miracle to save Christmas. To Lena's rescue comes Tucker Case, a slimy, reformed Casanova and DEA pilot, who gives her an alibi and sweeps her off her feet. The marijuana-cultivating town constable, Theo Crowe, suspects foul play, but Tucker intervenes with a blackmail scheme to keep the crime buried. Meanwhile, there's a new arrival in town: the glowingly blond Archangel Raziel (last seen in Lamb) has come 'dirtside' on a 'miracle mission' involving Josh's wish and reviving the town's dearly departed. Pine Cove's biggest challenge surfaces as comically reanimated zombies begin to rise and feast on the living, and a huge El Nino-induced storm swirls. This little slice of perverse Christmas cheer is enough to make even the most cynical Scrooge guffaw. Agent, Nicholas Ellison. (Oct.)" Publishers Weekly (Copyright 2004 Reed Business Information, Inc.)
"Mr. Moore is clearly the unhinged Hiaasen. He's Daily Show-funny and willing to subvert anything, even the 'pile of dead Kringle' that sets this fractured fairy tale in motion." Janet Maslin, The New York Times
"Delirious!" Booklist
"Christopher Moore's prose is hyper but never shticky, and his compassion for this island of misfits shines as bright as the samurai sword wielded by a schizophrenic warrior woman on a not-so-silent Christmas Eve. (Grade: A)" Entertainment Weekly
Little Joshua Barker is sure that he saw Santa take a shovel to the head, and now the seven-year-old prays for Santa to come back from the dead. There's an angel waiting in the wings, but he's botched his sacred mission and sent the residents of Pine Cove headlong into Christmas chaos.

More information for Intimus 5C Center Channel Speaker (2nd Gen)
A kiss is just a kiss, a sigh is just a sigh—but you ought to be able to tell them apart. That's the center channel's job: to make sure you hear every nuance at the heart of your movie. Otherwise Casablanca is just another white house.
The Intimus 5C Center Channel ensures dialog and sound effects so clear, every location in your room becomes a sweet spot. How do we do it? By pairing our audiophile-grade silk-dome tweeter with our custom-designed 4" woven mid-woofer in a vertical array. The 5.25" woofers take a break from higher frequencies and the 5C takes a bow for innately authentic sound.
We've wrapped the Intimus 5C in primo simulated Cherry Wood or Black Ash for an attractive, understated look. And with a price 15% lower than our previous Intimus line, you won't need to throw back a drink before you reach for your wallet. Play it, Sam.
Key Features:
- 5.25" Woven fiberglass mid-woofer delivers excellent bass response
- 4" Woven-fiberglass mid-woofer offers lush midrange sound
- 1" custom designed silk-dome tweeter for smooth, clearly defined highs at even the highest volume levels
- Vertical array design improves off-axis performance
- Contoured front edges to blend seamlessly with your décor
- Anti-resonant cabinet
- Furniture-Grade finish

Pro Reviews For Intimus 5C Center Channel Speaker (2nd Gen)We're sorry, we don't have any reviews for this product yet
1" Audiophile-Grade Silk-Dome TweeterWe engineered the 1-inch, audiophile-grade, silk-dome tweeter for optimal sonic performance—even at the highest volume levels—so you savor warm, natural sound with no harsh aftertaste. This tweeter's unique venting system uses a rear chamber with multiple rear vents outside the neodymium magnet, a departure from conventional systems that use a single vent through the magnet's center. Leaving the magnet fully intact results in a stronger motor structure with a lower resonant frequency, smooth response and amazingly pure, authentic sound. This tweeter is the high point of our speaker—literally.
5.25" Woven Fiberglass Mid-WooferOur custom 5.25" mid-woofer excels as the heart and soul of our 5C loudspeaker. The cone is constructed of woven fiberglass—lightweight, rigid and ready to amaze you with its natural bass output. Embracing the woofer is a butyl rubber surround, which creates a compliant yet well-dampened suspension that will deliver a lifetime of performance. Last but (only because something had to be), the magnetically shielded driver boasts a cast aluminum frame and remarkable frequency response. If this all sounds like Greek to you, we'll translate: You'll be delighted.
5.25" Woven Fiberglass Mid-Woofer (Passive)The 5C center channel speaker employs one passive driver, aka radiator. The radiator is really not as passive as it sounds: It greatly improves bass by exploiting energy from the rear of the active driver that would otherwise be wasted. Because there's only one active woofer, sound lobing is greatly reduced, providing you with a much broader sonic sweet spot. This design also allows for a smaller, easier-to-place center channel speaker—adding versatility and convenience for your home theater.
4" Woven Fiberglass Mid-WooferOur custom 4" woven fiberglass mid-woofer makes your music, movies and games come to life. This robust and versatile little driver is tough enough to handle the thumping demands of lower midrange frequencies yet is precise enough to support a choir of voices. It may be small, but it packs a solid punch by delivering pure, distortion-free sound and flawless dialog.
Vertical Array DesignWe engineered our center-channel speaker to provide flawless performance no matter where in the room you sit. Our vertical array design makes every seat a winner—which means your family and friends can all enjoy crisp, clear dialog and sound without having to rock-paper-scissors over who gets the middle of the couch.
Simulated Furniture-Grade FinishEach of our speakers is beautifully finished in top-quality Cherry Wood or Black Ash simulated wood-grain vinyl that's the best you'll see on any speaker, anywhere, at this price. The cabinetry unites the acoustic qualities of the most expensive loudspeakers with an eye-brightening aesthetic that lets these speakers blend effortlessly into any décor.
Anti-Resonant CabinetEvery Aperion 5C cabinet is made of solid 18 mm-thick medium-density fiberboard (MDF) to eliminate unwanted cabinet vibrations that muddy the sound. Muting the speaker walls ensures that the only input to your ears comes from your CD or DVD.
5-Way Gold-Plated Binding PostsWhen you make a connection, it's all about convenience. Whether you use banana plugs, bare wire, round pins, flat pins or spades, our binding posts ensure effortless attachments to your new speakers. And though the gold plating may make you feel regal, it has a practical purpose too: Gold resists corrosion and provides the best possible connection to your receiver.
Acoustically Transparent GrilleNothing stands between you and exceptional sound. We designed a sonically invisible grille that not only looks great, but also protects your precious speakers from curious fingers, claws, snouts, tentacles and trunks.
Wall & Ceiling MountingMount your speakers wherever you want—out of the way and outside the reach of inquisitive children and pets. All 5B speakers come with dual 1/4" threaded inserts on the back for ceiling or wall mounting. Industry standard spacing on these inserts means they'll work with a variety of wall and ceiling mount brands.

Hello all, we are back, after a bit of an absence…
Where have we been? We were just in Korea, delivering training to a large group of teachers as part of the KOFAC-led Asia Science & Creativity Conference 2012. KOFAC works to promote the public understanding of science, and the development of the creative talent pool inKorea, so an important element of their work includes the push for science to be taught in a more engaging, creative way in schools. We are delighted and excited to be a part of this initiative.
We had an amazing time in Seoulworking with teachers dedicated to enhancing their classroom practice. We delivered hands-on activities from our STEM club kits, online resources, and Talk Science tools and techniques such as Mystery Boxes and Powerful Questions- all aimed at developing students' skills, curiosity and ability to apply creative thinking to a problem.
Meeting and working with such a genuinely keen bunch of teachers was really inspiring, they had loads of thoughtful questions for us, and made us realise how much of what we do and promote (and sometimes almost take for granted!) can actually take teachers outside their comfort zone. We think that giving teachers the motivation and resources to push the envelope a bit will make science teaching that much better for both them and their students- but we would say that wouldn't we!
Along with the wonderful people we met (and the snowstorms we braved) we also loved the food, and miss our breakfast kimchi very much… Luckily it's fairly easy to get ahold of Korean foodstuffs inLondon-we are all glugging brown rice tea and scoffing honey-walnut court cakes in the office these days. Tough life!
In February, we are actually going to be hosting some of those same teachers at the Science Museum. Coming here will give them the chance to experience live programming and see more our resources in action. Hopefully some of them will bring some goodies over too! Maybe we should start preparing a shopping list?

Perfect cotton sheets I was looking for the 'old fashion cotton feel' and I found it with these sheets. Wonderful pattern, great feel. August 6, 2013
Heavenly Sheets I ordered these sheets for my daughter and son-in-law. They love them and say that they sleep very well because of the crisp lovely quality of the sheets. I ordered them because I had purchased some of your percale sheets about 2 years ago. They really liked the ones I had at my home, so I ordered them some of their very own!!! July 30, 2013
Answering the Call Fop several years I had noticed your adds displaying the crewel design sheets always wishing I had a real need for new twin sheets. Finally I bought a new mattress and felt justified in buying such. I love them indeed, as predicted! July 18, 2013
Cool, Crisp, and Beautiful! Cool, Crisp, and Beautiful! What more is there to say?! June 26, 2013
What a Christmas Present! Thank you Vermont Country Store for selling these wonderful percale sheets!!! I got this set of sheets for Christmas from my daughter who knew they were at the top of my Christmas list after raving so about the Wildflower percale sheets I recently got. Your blue flannel sheet blanket is a great companion with them, too! January 11, 2013

What Our Customers Are Saying about Our Crewel Percale Sheet Set …
"It is so hard to find percale sheets these days. Thank you, Vermont Country Store, for offering these superb sheets! The pattern is lovely, and the sheets are generously sized -- the fitted sheet doesn't creep up the side of the mattress. Best of all, the sheets are smooth and crisp, just what one wants from percale sheets. The price is very reasonable, too!"-Rita, Louisville, KY

Although the lifeless scene in the foreground looks like some sort of moonscape, it is actually the site of the future Wellington urban fishery. The clay mounds wth flags on them are markers to guide excavators so they can dig the 2.5 acre hole to the proper depth.
It turns out there's more to abandoned mine reclamation than removing junk coal, broken concrete and rusted steel.
Excavation at Wellington's old Knight-Ideal coal loadout site has now uncovered a stratum of soil contaminated with diesel fuel.
That means development work on the city's new park and urban fishery has to be suspended temporarily.
"It's a bump in the road," said Chris Rohrer, reclamation specialist with the state's Abandoned Mine Reclamation Program.
He explained that engineers must now determine the extent of the contaminated zone and devise a remediation plan. Once that's done and approved, the state will redefine the scope of work and revise the contractor's work order.
"The most optimistic outlook for completion is now the end of July, most likely the end of August," Rohrer said.
The contamination won't kill the project. Rohrer explained that the simplest acceptable remediation could be to spread the soil on an isolated spot and allow evaporation and bacterial action to take their course over a year or so. The city would have to agree with that plan.
Remedial action is also eligible for federal Office of Surface Mining funding, Rohrer said. OSM funds the state's reclamation program.
There is at least a silver lining in this cloud of delay, however. Rohrer explained that the later completion of site preparation will put the seeding of the area into late summer or early fall.
That's better because the sprouts won't wither under the summer sun.
Justin Hart, assistant regional fisheries manager for the Division of Wildlife Resources, said the division will stock the pond with catchable fish when it is filled with water.
Species will include trout, and probably bass and bluegill. The DWR has stocked the county fairgrounds fishing hole with catfish, and that is a possibility at Wellington, too.
The pond site and surrounding acreage is part of federal/state reclamation of the old Knight-Ideal coal loadout facility. During the years of operation, the land became contaminated with fragments of coal, spilled fuel, chunks of concrete and steel from the structures.
Using federal money, the state's Abandoned Mine Reclamation Program is being handled by the Division of Oil, Gas and Mining. The total cost is more than $1.2 million, and the pond represents about a tenth of that amount. DWR is providing roughly $40,000 for the fishery and the Carbon County Recreation/Transportation Special Service District is investing $80,000.
Wellington City owns the property, but the Service District agreed to commit funds because people from outside city limits will also benefit from the recreational site. In the future, Wellington intends to transform the whole 17-acre property into a city park, complete with baseball diamonds, walking trails and picnic area.

On February 6, 2008, Swiss bank Julius Baer filed suit in federal district court against "Wikileaks" -- a website designed to give whistleblowers a forum for posting materials of public concern -- for hosting 14 allegedly leaked documents regarding personal banking transactions of Julius Baer customers. Also sued was Wikileaks' domain name registrar, Dynadot LLC. On February 15, following a stipulation between Julius Baer and Dynadot, the court issued a permanent injunction, disabling the wikileaks.org domain name and preventing that domain name from being transferred to any other registrar.
On February 26, the Electronic Frontier Foundation, the American Civil Liberties Union, and the American Civil Liberties Union Foundation of Northern California filed a motion to intervene in the lawsuit in order to dissolve the permanent injunction.
"Dynadot's private agreement to disable access to its customer's domain name -- and the court's endorsement of that agreement -- raise serious First Amendment concerns," EFF Senior Staff Attorney Matt Zimmerman. "This unwarranted injunction should remind everyone who hosts critical information on the Web that such information may only remain accessible as long as your service provider or registrar is willing to stand up for you against obviously overreaching legal attacks."
At 9:00 a.m. on Friday, February 29, a federal judge in San Francisco will hear arguments regarding EFF's motion as well as a related issue: whether to extend a temporary restraining order aimed at preventing the further distribution of the 14 disputed Julius Baer documents.
Outcome: Following the hearing, Judge White dissolved his previous orders -- citing First Amendment concerns and other arguments raised by the proposed intervenors and amici curiae -- allowing the wikileaks.org domain name to go back up. Julius Baer subsequently moved to dismiss the case.
This is the Notice of Voluntary Dismissal, Without Prejudice.

USAID is interested in collaborating with the private sector to increase our development impact. Each year, we issue a Global Development Alliance (GDA) Annual Program Statement (APS) [PDF] inviting organizations to submit proposals for public-private partnerships.
The most sustainable and successful GDAs are grounded at the intersection between a business's core interests and one or more of USAID's development objectives. Quality alliances increase the reach, efficiency, effectiveness and sustainable impact of USAID's development assistance, while also offering the private sector a significant value proposition. GDAs should be designed to achieve clear, measurable, and mutually understood objectives, outcomes and results in a cost-effective manner.
Who Can Partner with USAID?
Global Development Alliances must involve one or more private sector organizations or actors. For purposes of the GDA program, private sector organizations and actors include:
- Private businesses, financial institutions, entrepreneurs, venture capitalists, and investors;
- Foundations and philanthropists; and
- Other for- and not-for-profit non-governmental entities.
In addition, USAID welcomes and encourages the participation of a wide range of other organizations, including but not limited to, public international and regional organizations, bilateral and multilateral donors, host country governments, U.S. and non-U.S. colleges and universities, pension funds, civic groups, Diaspora communities, and other U.S. government agencies.
What USAID Expects from Partners?
Potential alliance partners are expected to bring significant new resources, ideas, technologies, and/or partners to development activities. Successful proposals will mobilize private sector contributions, both cash and in-kind resources, on at least a one-to-one basis.
How to Submit a Proposal under the APS
There are three main steps to the application process:
- Consult with Mission or Bureau/Technical Office Point of Contact regarding alliance idea;
- Submit Concept Paper (see submission guidelines in the 2014 GDA APS) to Mission or Bureau/Technical Office for review and approval with an email copy to firstname.lastname@example.com; and
- If requested by the Mission or Bureau/Technical Office, submit a Full Application.
For more information, check out our Frequently Asked Questions [PDF] on the GDA APS application process.
In addition, USAID Missions, Bureaus and Technical Offices can issue addenda under the APS. Addenda highlight specific development objectives and alliance programs the Mission, Bureau or Technical Office would like to support under the GDA APS. Alliances proposed in response to addenda must still comply with the terms and criteria outlined in the GDA APS [PDF].
- Improving the Health Status of Rwandans - Closes October 16, 2015
- Ebola Response, Recovery and Resilience in West Africa Addendum - Closes October 16, 2015
- Power Africa Initiative [PDF] - Closes November 18, 2015
- Feed the Future Ebola Recovery Partnership - Closes November 6, 2015

SACKETS HARBOR A group of re-enactors on Saturday fired a 3-pounder cannon representing a type of firepower used during the War of 1812.
Theodore L. Schofield, one of the re-enactors dressed in period clothing, said the cannon, named for its ability to fire three-pound shots, was one of the smaller pieces of artillery that would have been used, and that it could be placed in either a vessel or a garrison setting.
It gives people a way to better understand what they may have read or heard, and it gives them a better understanding of actual, day to day, what may have gone on, he said. It gives them a bit of a more tangible example of what transpired.
The cannon firing was part of an 1812 living history demonstration Saturday afternoon at the Sackets Harbor Battlefield state historic site. In addition to the cannon firing, the event included an encampment representing how people during the war lived at that time.
The 1812-era Marines will be among the hundreds of re-enactors in place for the battlefield sites annual War of 1812 weekend, scheduled Aug. 3 and 4.
Video of the cannon firing can be seen at http://wdt.me/T6VsHD.

The S/S 13 runways were full of sharply parted, tightly secured hair. "It's like an old Helmut Newton kind of vibe," said hairstylist Paul Hanlon backstage at Altuzarra. "A very chic French lady with glossy, beautiful hair." You needn't be French for such shine, but you do need product. Hanlon used "lots and lots" of Fekkai's Sheer Hold Hairspray ($25) to give it what he calls "shine quality." At Gucci, Luigi Murenu used both Kiehl's Clean Hold Styling Gel ($16) and John Frieda Frizz Ease Serum ($8) for ultimate hold.
Need a cheat sheet? Hairspray should be enough for straight, fine hair. Thicker, curly hair will be easier to manage if you comb an oil or serum through post-shower. And if you consider your hair unmanageable--or you're after a super shiny finish--gel will be your new best friend.

Fangraphs posted this GIF of a 97 mph Jim Johnson fastball with some crazy movement. I suspect most of us have seen something like this from him before but I don't think I've seen one with that velocity and that movement.
That's why I think he'd play as a starter, especially at OPACY. But I don't think there's a rotation spot for him.
