The postpartum period begins after the delivery of the baby and ends when the mother's body has returned as closely as possible to its pre-pregnant state. This period usually lasts six to eight weeks.
The postpartum period involves the mother progressing through many changes, both emotionally and physically, while learning how to deal with all the changes and adjustments required in becoming a new mother. The postpartum period also involves the parents learning how to care for their newborn and learning how to function as a changed family unit.
Listed in the directory below, you will find information regarding postpartum care, for which we have provided a brief overview.

Stress abounds at this life stage: Work demands, teenage children or an "empty nest," aging parents, relationships, menopausal symptoms and finances can all wreak havoc on sleep. And daytime sleepiness can blunt mental alertness and lead to problems in the workplace and daily life, creating a vicious cycle.
But what exactly is stress? Stress is the perception that something is more than one can manage. The body then responds to the perception with a variety of emotions: anxiety, fear, depression, anger. Sometimes the stress response can make people more efficient and more effective as in defense from anger, but too much stress can be harmful. Signs that you've hit your tipping point include changes in appetite and sleeping patterns, headaches, crying, substance abuse, anxiety or panic attacks, irritability and moodiness.
Yet some people are able to thrive even with lots of stress in their lives. What qualities do they possess? Resilient people tend to think of changes and setbacks as a challenging and normal part of life. They use stress to as motivation to take positive action to reach realistic goals. They build strong relationships with family and friends and aren't afraid to ask for help when needed. Resilient people also tend to participate regularly in both social and solitary activities for relaxation and fun.
Build resilience by using these stress-management techniques:
- First, ask yourself if there is another way you can view the situation or if there is something you can do to change or control the situation you find yourself in. If so, set realistic goals and work toward them in small increments.
- Remind yourself that menopause is a phase (like puberty and postpartum blues). Most of the symptoms gradually fade away.
- Learn your own best methods of relaxation and use them regularly.
- Make sure to get enough sleep and physical activity.
- Avoid extreme reactions—just take it slow.
- Do something good for others. This is one of the best ways to change your focus and feel good about your actions.
- Try to "use" your stress in a productive way. Again, work on a goal or a personal project, or work off the stress with exercise.

In Utah, root beer is the bomb, the center of the party. There is such a thing as a root beer bash. Families have rituals and memories of homemade root beer. The USU Aggies even play beer pong with root beer.
Utah's food is regular fodder for snobby foodies like myself. A survivalist frontier mentality—including reliance on foods that keep well—together with Utah's famously large families means that convenience foods are popular recipe ingredients and that thrift often comes before flavor, both bad indicators for fine food.
But just as every Thanksgiving feast has one beloved dish that's utterly traditional to the family but slightly gross to outsiders, every culture's cuisine has its questionable side. In Texas, Velveeta melted with Ro-Tel is part of the canon. In the Upper Midwest, people don't blink at Watergate salad. The list goes on: Pork rinds. Peanuts in Coca-Cola. Waldorf salad.
So I say: Embrace Utah food, instead of eschewing it. By embracing it, you'll improve it.
And the fame of Utah's odder foodways is largely our own fault. We did make those collectible Utah Olympic pins in the image of fry sauce, funeral potatoes, root beer and no less than three different versions of green Jell-O.

Review: Whitelines Notebooks
Whitelines sent me these products to test early this year. (March) I tried them out ages ago but have been holding the review. I had questions about their products that I wanted to address in the review but have never heard back from them. I sent my questions to them June 18th, and on June 23rd I received a response that they would be sending the questions to the factory for answers. July 1st I received a follow up that they were still waiting for answers from the factory in Sweden. August 29th I sent a follow up e-mail and received a call from someone that had replaced my original contact. He too said that he would work to get answers but as of today, October 8th, I am still waiting. The one thing he did tell me is that all of the paper came from the same factory in Sweden.
My questions consisted of the following:
"Of the four products that you sent me, two have a cooler tone (tablet and hard bound) and two have a warmer tone. (saddle stitch and ring bound) Is this normal? Or is one newer than the other? Can customers expect to see a standardization across the line? The warmer toned items seemed to also be darker, with the white lines being more pronounced.
I also noticed that the surface texture in each product is different. The tablet is very smooth and the ring bound textured enough to feel it under my hand as I write. The other two were in between the others as far as smoothness. This makes me think that the paper could be sourced from different suppliers.... Can I ask where the paper is manufactured, and if it is in fact all coming from the same source? If it is all from the same source, why such a difference in surface variation?
My main purpose in testing these papers was to see how they would hold up to water based fountain pen inks. Since all 4 are 80g paper, one would think that they would behave the same but alas, they did not. In fact, once again, each responded differently. The tablet bled through the worst, and the ring bound had no visible bleeding at all.
Lastly, I do not understand why the staple bound composition books are called "Saddle Stitch." To me, saddle stitch implies a stitched product - like the Moleskine Cahiers."
These were my test pages from the glue bound tablets. They had the nicest writing surface but there was bleed through on the backside.
Showing the variance in paper tones. Two warm, two cool.
A close up of the paper showing the printed surface.
Papers in each of the 4 test samples (Glue bound, spiral, hard cover and saddle stitch) all felt different under my fountain pen nibs.
There were varying degrees of bleedthrough with the 4 different products. I genuinely got the sense that these were 4 different papers. .
A non color corrected doodle. I tried scanning it to see if the lines disappeared which they did, though not completely. My apologies for not including the actual scan... (I lost it)
The Saddle Stitch composition style book. I don't understand the name as it is staple bound, not stitched at all.
I myself love small notebooks like this, I like to use them as project books. This one has a soft cover and sells for around $2.
This is the spiral bound book with a soft cover. They sell for around $8. There is also a hard cover version for $12.
The Whitelines paper is available lined or squared.
Pages in the spiral bound version are micro perforated for easy removal.
This is the Hard Cover version which sells for around $12.
The book itself is beautiful...
Though it doesn't come anywhere close to opening flat. Notice that the cover lies flat but the pages do not open flat.
Pushing the book down, you see that there is still a major hump that you will be writing in/out of. This to me means not being able to write near the inner margins and that to me, wastes paper.
In closing, Whitelines is a company that makes an effort to be extremely environmentally friendly. They wish to have the smallest carbon footprint as possible. I have to admit that while I do care about products being made under unsuitable working conditions, or those that are aggressively harmful to the environment, I am not typically swayed to purchase "Green" products because I often feel that becomes the companies main sales agenda rather than making the best products possible.
Right now, I can't recommend the Whitelines products because I don't know what you will end up with if you purchase them. Cool paper or warm, that's important for some people. Smooth or rough, that makes a big difference for fountain pen users. When I buy paper products, I am most concerned about consistency. I want to know that when I go to buy more in 6 months that unless they have clearly stated any improvements or changes to the item, I expect what I buy to work in exactly the same way each time.
For more information or to see the other available Whitelines options, visit their website.
9 comments:
Can you give some dimensions of the books? In particular the spiral bound ones? And while you did not recommend them you did not say which ones were rough and which were smooth (in your samples). I understand you desire for consistancy, are you going to look at these products again in the future to see if they remain inconsistant or if your sample was not representative?
Thanks, love your blog!!

Thanks for another thorough notebook review! Saddle-stitching is the correct term used in the printing industry. If you wished to buy printing and were sending out bids for a booklet, one of the specifications would be whether you wanted the print run saddle-stitched (fastened with staples through the spine) or perfect bound. (Hand-saddle-stitchers actually used to exist for very tiny quantities.) I've seen the term "Smythe sewn" used for Moleskine-like bindings, but am not sure whether or not the saddle-stitched term is a broader description that covers this binding or not.
- October 8, 2010 at 2:41 PM
FYI, saddle stitching *is* stapling, Stephanie... a bunch of Rhodia products, for example, are saddle stitched, too. Google the term and you'll get a definition. You can go to a good office-supply house and buy a saddle stitcher (it's a stapler).
Thanks for the nice review.

Hi Hap - "The tablet is very smooth and the ring bound textured enough to feel it under my hand as I write. The other two were in between the others as far as smoothness."
So the glued tablet was the smoothest and the spiral the roughest. But if I ordered from them, how would I know which of the 4 papers I would get in any given product?
The samples they sent were all A5 in size which is roughly 6x8. Some of their products come in a few other sizes.
At this time, I do not care to re-review these products. I first and foremost review products to see how well they work for me and I didn't love writing on the gray/white combination. (Partly because I've moved on to using blank paper) I also don't like journals/notebooks with a square edge - digs in my hand as I reach the bottom of the page. Had I loved the paper, I might have been ok with that but the one thing I cannot overlook is a hard back books inability to open flat to use all of it's surface. I hope that answers your questions. :o)
- October 8, 2010 at 5:52 PM
- Biffybeans said...
Anon - Ahh..... for what ever reason, I thought Saddle SEWN referred to a certain kind of sewn binding. My error. :o) When I refer to the Moleskines, I'm not taking about their hard back journals, but the Cahiers in which the signatures appear to be sewn - I thought that particular kind of binding was called Saddle Stitch.
David - much thanks, Now I know.
- October 8, 2010 at 5:56 PM
Thanks Stephanie!
I was interested in checking out the spiral bound squared (graph paperlike?) notebook, but I too am a fountain pen lover and if that's the roughest of the papers, I would not be happy with it as a field journal for sketching and notes. Thanks for the clarifications!
BTW re your bijoux box...have you ever looked at any of Craig Young's palettes?
what I would not give for one of those!!!
thanks again!
- October 8, 2010 at 6:20 PM
Stephanie, I loved this review even though I don't love these books. I just can't get used to the greyish paper with white lines. And I'm surprised I've never seen a review of these by Lady Dandelion since they are a Swedish company.
I did like the staple bound because of it's convenience, but probably wouldn't buy these since I already have this version in Rhodia and Clairefontaine which can't be beat in my opinion.
I love your paper reviews! Thanks.

I, too, have mixed feelings about Whitelines. I love the reversed grid; when I look back at what I've written in other gridded notebooks (even Rhodias), the grid is still too dark. (And yes, I have to have a grid; I do calligraphy while journaling, including practicing my pitiful Sanskrit.) I adore the Whitelines Wire, but the back cover isn't stiff enough; however, neither is the Rhodia Reverse's. Oddly, I haven't had the same paper-quality issues as Stephanie, but I haven't been as thorough either. I use mainly a Lami Safari with Noodler's Air-Corps Blue-Black.

|Hepburn Heights, Portland, Liberty City
|Trial By Fire
|Unlocked by
I Scream, You Scream is a mission in Grand Theft Auto III given to protagonist Claude by Diablos leader El Burro from a payphone in the Hepburn Heights area of Portland, Liberty City.
Claude answers a payphone in Hepburn Heights and El Burro tells Claude that a gang (Forellis) are threatening to remove a starring member of an adult movie unless they get a cut. El Burro instructs Claude to pick up a bomb in Harwood and then hijack a Mr. Whoopee ice cream van and blow them up at their Atlantic Quays hideout.
Claude collects the bomb, which is located around the corner at the Borgnine Taxis building. Claude then hijacks the Mr. Whoopee ice cream van and attaches the bomb to the vehicle. After heading to the Atlantic Quays warehouse hideout, Claude turns on the horn to start the 'jeengle-jeengle'. The gang members walk out and are killed when Claude presses the detonator.
El Burro: I started my exotic entertainment business with nothing but the sizable contents of my leather pants! A gang of no-goods have threatened to remove my starring member if I don't pay them a cut. They threatened the wrong man, amigo. They have a weakness for the ice cream. Pick up the bomb I've hidden in Harwood, hijack the regular ice cream van on its rounds. And lure these fools to their doom with the jeengle-jeengle. They hide in a warehouse on Atlantic Quay.
The reward for completing the mission is $6,000 and the unlocking of the mission Trial By Fire.
Original Mission
This mission was originally intended to be given out by the removed character Darkel. Instead of gang members, the original target would be innocent pedestrians.[1] Darkel was eventually removed from the game and the mission was given to El Burro.

The Pomodoro Technique works well for me when I do fixed ,defined tasks like studying using book or working on specific issues .But I struggle with this technique when the task at hand has a lot of dependencies .
Like when I am studying using the internet where to understand a specific concept I need to google it ,which introduces another concept which again I need to search ,thereby increasing the chance of the getting me distracted completely from the task at hand .Or doing a task that might require you to talk to other people ,that might introduce intermediate tasks and after 25 minutes I feel I haven't done anything .
So for tasks that have dependencies how do you use the pomodoro technique ?

ZF-10150: Zend_Date broken when using mbstring with overloading
When outputting Zend_Date::DATE_LONG in locales with UTF-8 in the format string (such as 'zh') the output is returning half the string with only half the last character.
This is only when mbstring.func_overload is enabled for strlen and the internal encoding is set to UTF-8.
mbstring.internal_encoding = UTF-8
mbstring.func_overload = 7
Test case:
$date = new Zend_Date('2008-12-10');
echo $date->get(Zend_Date::DATE_LONG, 'zh');
Output: 2008年10�
Expected: 2008年10月12日
This issue appears to still be happening in SVN trunk.
Faulty function: Zend_Date::_toToken() _toToken loops over the format string using strlen() to determine the length of the string, and uses $part[$i] to access the individual bytes. The issue comes about when strlen is overloaded by turning on mbstring.func_overload. This causes strlen to return the number of UTF-8 characters in the string, not the number of bytes.
Rejected solution: use mb_strlen($part, '8bit') in place of strlen($part) to make sure it returns the number of bytes in the string regardless of the current internal encoding. NOTE: This solution was rejected because use of mb_ functions is not acceptable in the Zend_Date.
New proposed solution: use isset($part[$i]) in place of strlen($part) in the for loop. This is the same check that is used further down that same function to make sure it does not read off the end of the string when reading of the current position.
Attached proposed patch
Added relevant php.ini configuration settings.
Patch not accepted. Usage of mb* is not allowed within these components.
Attached alternative solution patch.
Alternative solution: Use isset($part[$i]) instead to detect the end of the string.
isset() is also used further down in the function to detect the end of the string.
Verification: I just added a unittest.
The problem does not occur when mbstring is used without overloading and it does also not occur when mbstring isn't available at all.
In all cases this method works as expected.
Only when mbstring is used with overloading then things do not work anymore because utf8 is no longer handled as utf8.
Changed issue header
Updated description with new proposed solution.
Fixed with r22713 Thank you for your time and report

The first time I went on a monastic retreat, nearly 30 years ago, I accompanied a friend and her seven-year-old daughter, who had requested the weekend excursion as a First Communion gift. I had just begun attending church (Presbyterian) after a long lapse, was feeling tired and wanted to get out of town. (Monasteries often accommodate guests, and they don't mind if you are not religious.) I brought along writing projects to work on, so I was relieved to discover that guests at Assumption Abbey, where we would be staying, were not obliged to attend the monks' daily prayers at morning, noon and night. The constant interruptions would surely distract me from my work, I thought, dicing my day like an onion. But I soon found that I got the most work done when I experienced the abbey's full liturgy, day in, day out. The routine establishes a powerful rhythm, and when there are set times for prayer, work and recreation, it's easy to work during the work periods. In that monastery I began to believe that there is actually enough time in a day.
Since then, I've returned to Assumption Abbey, in North Dakota, and visited many others for a weekend, a month or longer, temporarily leaving behind my husband and domestic duties. Saint John's Abbey in Minnesota is a regular refuge, and the first thing I do when I enter my guest room there is open the curtains to view the lake in the late afternoon light. Before unpacking, I sit down to collect my thoughts. While darkness gathers, I watch the lake turn from blue to silver to black. Gradually, the birch trees on the shore disappear from sight, and the corners of my room fill with shadows. The silence of the monastery sinks into my bones. In the evening, I attend the 7 o'clock service surrounded by 70 to 80 resident monks and a few other guests. We recite verses from the Grail translation of the Psalms, composed for oral recitation. As the ancient poetry washes over me, some lines offer a sensible perspective: "Do not set your heart on riches, even when they increase" (Psalm 62:11). Others strike me with their beauty: "By his word the heavens were made, by the breath of his mouth all the stars" (Psalm 33:6). These poems direct my attention inward, even as they challenge me to look outward and accept my humble place in a vast universe. As a writer, I appreciate their potency—the power of words to reach deep into the soul. I'm reminded how much I loved being read to as a child. After listening to the Scripture, we sit in silence for two minutes to absorb what we've heard and then say the Lord's Prayer.
When I return to my room, I'm too drowsy to open the novel I've brought. With no television or computer (on retreats, I write on a notepad with a pen or pencil) and my cell phone turned off, I feel freed from clutter. I am asleep by 9:30 and in church the next morning by 6:30. The reading lights not yet switched on, the space feels womb-like. I sit with the handful of monks who gather a half hour early for the 7 am service and use that quiet time to begin their day.
The abbey's routine allows for the little breathers I often deny that I need. I may reluctantly set aside my work to attend noon prayer only to find that this break has provided me with the answer to a problem I'd labored over all morning. The slow, repetitive pace of the liturgy fosters reflection, so that both words and time itself take on a different quality. I experience language not as so much verbiage but as words I can attend to because they are surrounded by silence. The day stretches out luxuriantly, an odd yet peaceful sensation that makes me confident I can accomplish what I set out to do.
Returning home after a retreat is always a challenge. As I struggle to recalibrate my daily rhythms, it helps to remember that while I needed time set apart to restore and redirect my energies, the purpose of a retreat is to return me to my ordinary life. Although I can't replicate the tempo of the monastery, I can offset time's frenetic pace by reciting Psalms and prayers at the hinges of each day, first thing in the morning and last thing at night. I can make quiet time for myself, even if that means letting my mind wander as I vacuum or dust.

ESPN discussed Kobe Bryant and his gun-toting appearance in a Call of Duty: Black Ops commercial on Friday's edition of Outside the Lines: First Report. The show didn't air the commercial, because Activision shot down ESPN's request.
While introducing the segment, Outside the Lines host Bob Ley said, "We would like to show you the commercial, but its makers refused us permission. Now if you're multitasking at home, you can Google 'Kobe Black Ops'. Google it right now if you would like to see this spot which has spurred questions about the propriety of Bryant's appearance in the commercial. We invited Bryant, the Lakers and the NBA to comment or join us today. Each declined to comment."
Ley went on to discuss the Kobe Bryant Black Ops commercial with a panel that included Syracuse professor Robert Thompson, ESPN contributor Bomani Jones, Adam Fusfeld of Business Insider's Sports Page, Sundance DiGiovanni of Major League Gaming and Dr. David Mayeda, an assistant sociology professor at Hawaii Pacific University.
I've placed a request with Activision to find out why it didn't allow ESPN to air the commerical. I'll let you know what I find out.
And I know, I know … you've probably already seen it, but here is the Kobe Bryant Call of Duty: Black Ops commercial in question. Tempest in a teapot?

Which of the following terms is the correct one for "2 in 1"?
Zwei in Eins
Zwei in Einem
Which of the following terms is the correct one for "2 in 1"?
As a single expression, it's "Zwei in Einem", because "in" is with dative when it's a place, not a direction. However, you could say "Zwei in Ein(e)s" if you wanted to put two of something into one (e.g. two eggs into one glass).
(Please, don't ask why I am talking about eggs in a glass.)
In marketing, it is, however, always written as "2 in 1" (similar to "2 für 1"), and often colloquially pronounced as "zwei in eins", just because this is how one would literally read it out, and maybe also because of the similarity to "2 für 1", where it is accusative.
Using "in" as a preposition for defining a spatial realtionship needs a dative object that may be further specified by using a numeral.
Obviously the object was omitted in the example given but still we need the numeral to follow the case of the object (i.e. dative):
In modern marketing or commercials these finer points of grammar are sometimes thought to lead away from the message. Therefore we may hear grammatically incorrect slogans like it would be here with "zwei in eins".
If you want to say 'Zwei in Eins', "2 in 1" would be corrct, but if you want to say 'Zwei in Einem' "2 in 1" is wrong, because the cipher 1 is called

ZF-8011: addJavascript() uses preg_replace when trim would suffice
In ZendX/JQuery/View/Helper/JQuery/Container.php - addJavascript($js) function, the first line is:
$js = preg_replace('/^\s(.?)\s*$/s', '$1', $js);
I believe this is simply trimming whitespace from either end. trim function would be more efficient.
If $js is a very large string then addJavascript($js) fails to add $js as expected.
In my case (checking with preg_last_error) I had reached/exceeded the backtrack limit (PREG_BACKTRACK_LIMIT_ERROR).
Using trim() may be more efficient and would also remove this limit.
The preg_replace does not work with large string in deed. This is critical bug, please fix it.
My suggestion is to remove lines:
$js = preg_replace('/^\s*(.*?)\s*$/s', '$1', $js);
if (!in_array(substr($js, -1), array(';', '}'))) {
$js .= ';';
Reasons: * Why should PHP class fix JavaScript code which a programmer wrote ? He could make much more mistakes then to forget ; in last line or to enter too many spaces. * This processing is taking unnecessary CPU on each request. * It is confusing to the JavaScript programmer that his code got changed.
If there is a plan to include some more sophisticated JavaScript minifier (I don't see a practical usage until it will not support caching) it should be optional.
Thank you for your contributed work to ZF.
On my critical list for bughunt day this week.
Fixed and merged in 1.9 release branch.

MHIA: Materials handling orders still growing
February 07, 2012 - MMH Editorial
New orders for materials handling equipment grew by 15% in 2011 while shipments of equipment grew by 17.1%.
Those were two key points of economic data presented by Dave Young, chairman of the Material Handling Industry of America (MHIA) and George Prest, the organization's CEO, at yesterday's annual look at the state of the industry. The industry statistics are gathered by the MHIA business planning community and presented on a quarterly basis by the Material Handling Equipment Manufacturing forecast.
Looking forward, MHIA is forecasting continued, but slower growth in new orders of 8% for 2012 followed by an uptick in orders to 12% in 2013.
"We think the industry is in a sweet spot right now," Prest said. "Our members tell us they have seen a lot of inquiries from end users and that there are more projects in the pipeline."
Some of the slowdown in growth forecast for 2012 may be attributed to end users pausing to absorb the projects they implemented in 2010 and 2011 before launching new initiatives in their plants and warehouses.
Some may also be explained by the uncertainty generated by an election year and economic turmoil in Europe. "Our members tell us that there is still money on the sidelines," Young said. "End users have projects that have been approved and funded, but are waiting until they have a clearer idea of worldwide demand."
In other news, MHIA introduced a new industry group – the Protective Guarding Manufacturers Association, or ProGMA – which represents manufacturers of products such as safety netting, gates and fencing designed to protect people, assets and inventory in an industrial setting. ProGMA brings the total of industry groups to 19.
Modex 2012 is scheduled to be held February 6-9, 2012 in Atlanta's Georgia World Congress Center. The tradeshow will showcase the latest manufacturing, distribution and supply chain solutions in the material handling and logistics industry. Modern's complete Modex 2012 coverage.

Summer Sampler Series: Kansas Dust Storm
This is Kansas Dust Storm, block #3596 in the Encyclopedia Of Pieced Quilt Patterns. Much like Faith's "Rocky Road to Kansas" block, this block got its name from a very specific time and place in history. The block pattern was published by the Kansas City Star in December 1935, in the midst of the Great Depression and the Dustbowl (April 1935 saw some of the worst dust storms in the history of the U.S.). Not surprisingly, quilting thrived in the 1930s—families often needed to make use of every scrap of fabric they had, and that usually meant making quilts. So this block is representative of an important era in the history of the craft.
As I was choosing fabric for my block, I realized that Kansas Dust Storm is actually quite similar to the Evening Star block that Kate posted about on Monday. They're both eight-point stars, just oriented a little differently. For that reason, I reversed out the prints and did the star points in my background white, putting more focus on the secondary design that forms around the star. And I love how it turned out—somehow it really does remind me of a weak sun shining in the hazy Dustbowl sky.
For this block, you will need three templates: Template A, Template B, and Template C. You'll need four copies of each of the three templates. Sorry about the three templates, but this was the only way I could come up with that avoided Y-seams. And if you've come this far in the quilt-along, you're a paper-piecing expert by now. So I know you can do it! If you haven't done paper-piecing before, I recommend checking out Faith's tutorial for the Star block first, as that's a great introduction to this skill.
Kansas Dust Storm Block Tutorial
1. Cut your fabric as follows:
• Center (my floral print): 3.5" squares - cut 8 (I fussy-cut mine)
• Green squares: 4.5" squares - cut 8
• Orange-dot corner triangles: 4" x 6" - cut 4
• White star points: 2.5" x 3" - cut 8
• White background: 4" x 6.5" - cut 8
2. Cut the 4.5" squares (my green print) in half diagonally, so you now have 16 triangles.
3. Take 4 (only 4!) of those 16 triangles and cut them in half again, as shown, to make 8 smaller triangles.
4. Place one of the 12 larger triangles on the back of Template A, so that it covers Section 1 (but on the back of the template). Hold it up to a light source to check that your piece is in the right place, and adhere with double-sided tape, a glue stick, or a pin.
5. Lay one of the 4" x 6.5" background pieces over the top of the center triangle, right sides facing. Match up the long edge along the line between Section 1 and Section 2.
6. Sew along the line (using a shorter stitch length to help perforate the paper) and press back the background piece.
7. Do the same thing for Section 3, with another 4" x 6.5" background piece.
8. Now it should look like this.
9. Add one of the 4" x 6" corner triangle pieces.
10. Sew and press into place, then trim the excess fabric, using the paper template as a guide for where to trim. Your Unit A should now look like this. Repeat to make three more Unit As just like it.
11. Now we'll move on to the B and C templates, which are exactly the same, except that they are mirror images of each other. Start by adhering a 2.5" x 3" background piece to the back of each template, covering Section 1.
12. Place one of the 8 remaining large green triangles over the white background piece. One of the short sides of the triangle should line up with the line between sections 1 and 2. Flip over, sew along the line, and press into place.
13. Continuing piecing the B and C units, using the smaller green triangles and the floral octagon pieces. When the units are completed and trimmed, they should look like this.
14. You should now have 4 A units, 4 B units, and 4 C units. I removed the paper at this point—from here out, I found it easier to piece things accurately without the paper. Take one B unit and one C unit and sew the short sides together to make a larger triangle, like this.
Not like this! This is an easy mistake to make with this block, as you can see! (I wish I could say I did this solely for educational purposes, but it ain't so.) This way even looks right. But it's not.
15. Join your pieced B/C triangle to an A triangle, as shown, to make a square.
16. Then piece your four squares together to complete the block.
And there we have it: 12 completed sampler blocks. I'll be sashing the blocks and putting the top together in the next week, so come back here next Friday to see my completed top! I'll post yardage and cutting requirements for my sashing at that time, in case anyone is interested.
Huge thanks to everyone who quilted along with Kate, Faith, and me this past month (and to everyone who may do these blocks in the future!). I had so much fun doing this quilt-along with all of you. The blocks that have shown up in the Flickr group are absolutely stunning. I can't wait to see all of the finished quilts!

You're blocks look great together! Having lived in western Kansas for the first five years of our marriage, I have first-hand knowledge of Kansas dust storms. In fact, the saying, "time to get out of Dodge." I was actually in Dodge City when a dust storm was predicted and had to get home ASAP or they were going the highways because of lack of visibility. True story.Which had really nothing to do with quilting...

Increasingly, technology is offering solutions to mundane and ancient problems. Like lice, a growing plague in schools, exterminated by a simple invention by a U of U professor and father.
Photo by Adam Finkle.
Every year, 12 million kids in the United States get head lice, three-millimeter-sized parasites that live on the scalp and hair, causing itching and spreading easily from head to head.
Even worse, like the New York City cockroach, they're getting harder to kill.
Dale Clayton, University of Utah biology professor, says lice are building a resistance to chemicals used on them. The university honored him with the 2013 Distinguished Innovation and Impact Award for his alternative—a machine using hot air to kill lice and eggs called AirAllé.
Clayton stumbled on his solution while studying non-human lice (yes, lice specialize). "Most of my work involved evolutionary biological research—studying the formation of new species—using feather lice on birds," he says.
After earning a graduate degree at the University of Chicago, he studied lice on birds, like common pigeons, at Oxford University. Later, he moved his lab to the University of Utah, but the lice didn't survive the trip. "It turns out it's too dry here to keep lice alive on birds, because of the arid climate" he says. Serendipitously, his kids in elementary school promptly contracted head lice.
"We weren't able to treat them using the standard chemicals, because the lice had evolved," he says. "So, we started wondering if it might be possible to treat head lice using dry air."
Clayton experimented with the idea in 2000 and got serious just a couple years later. Now, AirAllé, formerly the LouseBuster, is used in hundreds of treatment centers around the world.
The machine blows air through a hose into an applicator, helping the air reach hair roots and creating a lice kill zone. Treatments are done by trained operators, take 30 minutes and are followed by a comb out to remove dead lice and eggs, along with any tough bugs that may have survived the air.
"Our solution is over 99 percent effective on the eggs, plus it kills the hatch life," says Randy Block, Chief Operating Officer for Larada Sciences, the SLC company marketing AirAllé. "You can use all of these lotions and potions and goop and pesticides and drugs, but most of those don't do much to the eggs, and then those eggs hatch and you have to catch them before they lay their eggs."
Larada was founded in 2006. Since then, AirAllé has received clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to be used in schools, camps and medical clinics.
"We've already done over 50,000 treatments, and it really works," Block says. "We're thinking in three years, we'll probably have 450 locations or more worldwide using this device."

The whole idea of friends with benefits is troublesome enough. Now friends without benefits turns out to come with pitfalls, too. In the words of Rodney King (may he rest in peace), can't we all just get along?
Not if we're part of a platonic male-female relationship, according to a new study.
The Daily Mail in the U.K. reports researchers have found most people think having pals of the opposite sex is more burdensome than beneficial.
Why? Well, attraction to the opposite sex is the biggie, as you might guess, followed by jealousy from their mates, according to the newspaper.
"Our findings implicate attraction in cross-sex friendship as both common and of potential negative consequence for individuals' long-term mateships,' " the study authors write in the August issue of the Journal of Social and Personal Relationships, the Daily Mail reports.
Sounds like a good excuse for a girls' night out.

Should I learn Mandarin basics first through pinyin and worry about the characters later, or should I learn them together? Pros and cons?
Sign up

Here is the way how Chinese kids start learning Mandarin in school.
They first learn Pinyin, then learn simple and basic characters, like 人,口,手,天,大,我,你,他, etc.
Pinyin tells you how to pronounce new characters. So learn Pinyin first.
There is a key difference between learning the language as a native speaker, and learning the language as a second language. Native speakers of all languages invariably learn speaking and listening skills first, and only start to learn reading and writing at school, after the age of about 3 or 4. Learning a language as a second language, reading and writing have more prominence and can expedite some of the learning, but this also depends on a person's 'learning style'. Generally, combining all four communication skills is better.
To clarify what I am trying to say, my own experience of learning Chinese (and other languages) mixes all four modalities (reading, writing, speaking, listening). I find that learning the characters sometimes gives insight into the relationships between words (the semantics), that are not obvious from how they are said. Sometimes the process works the other way, as I see patterns in the written characters that are reflected in the sound.
Get started the easiest way (romanization, aka "pinyin", only) but once you've learnt a few basic sentences it's not a bad time to start learning characters.
You eventually want to be learning characters and pinyin at the same time anyway, so you might as well start as soon as you can. Much of the reward you will feel whilst learning is in being able to read bits and pieces here and there.

Having always been a fan of a variety of music and having known that some great sounds appear initially to be beyond your taste or that your perspective on those sounds change over time, I was a willing guinea pig and complete novice as I began my work back in 2010 to conquer the vast universe known as classical music.
What took me so long? Classical music is intimidating - that's what. With literally hundreds of worthwhile composers, thousands of symphonies and concertos, it's hard to know where to start. With centuries of history involved, there was no way of knowing what it would take to actually become comfortable with a fraction of this music.
But as a lifelong rock, blues and jazz aficionado for nearly 30 years, I decided to give it a shot.
The key? Learn not to worry about all of it and follow what you like - trust your own instincts.
My entry point? The twin local institutions known as the Utah Symphony and Randy's Records. I also had a willingness to plunk out cash for loads of cheap classical cds that represent one of the best bargains for music buyers.
And then the Utah Symphony announced last spring it would tackle all nine of Beethoven's symphonies starting this fall. Well, that sounded like a challenge - so I took it.
With help from Randy's, I rounded up all but one of the symphonies penned by "The Greatest Composer" and started preparing. The first thing I noticed was that I could indeed get my head around Beethoven and its vastness. The melodies and rhythms weren't that much more "out there" than the bebop jazz I swooned for back in '08 and I appreciated the fact there's so much literature out there about the content and its legendary composers. Going clear back to sixth grade when I read religiously everything I could find about hair metal bands, reading about music is not what I consider an intimidating task.
All of this helped prepare me for the first two rounds of the Beethoven cycle, the Ninth back on Sept. 10 and the Eighth Symphony on Saturday night.
And although the Ninth was wonderfully played, it was actually a bit anti-climatic after the haunting beauty of John Adams' Sept. 11 tribute piece called "On The Transmigration of Souls."
And then Saturday, it was time for the Eighth, which as any cursory research tells you, is often overshadowed by the more revered Ninth and Seventh symphonies - but as the research does not tell you, I don't think it's overshadowed one bit, I love it. Ever the contrarian, I instinctively took to this piece from the get-go, it's bombastic violin segments early in the piece (which somehow remind me of Led Zeppelin) followed by a lush pastoral feel contained in many passages made this feel like I'd always pictured classical as being - wild, long, dense and wonderful.
So, I was hooked on this piece -which premiered in 1814 - and circled this particular date of the Symphony's Beethoven countdown on my calendar at the start. Saturday's performance was awesome - as I expected - but it also revealed that one of classical music's great strengths is that even though a listener may have heard a piece dozens of times - seeing it live brings out nuances and even whole segments that hadn't emerged until I was fortunate enough to watch the skilled musicians of the Utah Symphony bring the piece to life inside Abravanel Hall.
The next round of Beethoven, courtesy of the Utah Symphony, is the Seventh on Nov. 4. I'm already looking forward to hearing that grand piece live and hope that others who read this can overcome their own possible intimidation factors and join in on this ongoing rare treat.

I have a late 1937-1957 style rear brake backing plate. It is the one on the right. Rivited to the inside is a grease cup to catch any grease from the hub. There is a drain tube to the outside of the backing plate. Anybody know when this was used? My '36 EL also has this featere but is a totally different backing plate.
