Monochromatic projects using tearing and sanding
April 23, 2014 by Core'dinator
Filed under Core Blog
A little goes a long way with Core'dinations! it is amazing how easy you can make monochromatic projects with just a few sheets of cardstock!
Vivian Keh has so many small yet incredible details on this card.
Ranger – Crackle Accents
Viva Decor – Pearl Pen
A great way to add interest to your projects is to cut an image from the same color cardstock as your layout or card base. It is visually interesting and, in some instances, even looks like faux embossing! Plus…I am a sucker for fur baby layouts!
Hi there, Core'dinations friends! Vivian Keh here to share a layout of one of our furry babies, Jujubee. This past Christmas Eve, sadly, we lost her to cancer so I wanted to honor her in a layout.
Here are a few close ups of the details:
I die-cut these pretty birds using Core'dinations Core Essentials in Burgundy, sanding the edges for an elegant, subtle effect. For a bit of dimension, I propped the birds' wings up on a small pop dot.
The pretty flourishes were crafted the same way, creating nice movement without being distracting.
To soften the horizontal lines of the composition, I added some Sizzix die-cut branches in a softer hue, "Concerto," and paper punched some dainty blossoms in "Snowflake."
This butterfly in the softest tint, "Rose Embroidery," was dry embossed and sanded to further the natural theme of this layout.
I hope you enjoyed my project today. Thanks so much for visiting with me here on the Core blog. Looking forward to next time!

Happy Monday!

We have been so crazy this month we only got to post twice about our June Colour Lover's Inspiration from our Pinterest Board.
Summer is crazy, isn't it?!?!? Before I show you this super cute card …did you hear??!?!?!??!!?!?!??!
Mark your calendars…all you need is CORE!
Here is our June Inspiration piece…
And Debbie Standard's take. LOVE how she used the tone on tone here. Debbie used the Stacy Julian Core Impressions line. In that pack you get pre-embossed sheets and canvas (plain Core Essentials) sheets that match so you can core'dinate easy projects like this. The different embossed patterns look amazing, too!
Add some May Arts ribbon and you have a gorgeous card!

[FREEMIUM]HandWrite Pro Note and Draw
Hi there,
I am a developer from Hamburg, Germany. You might know my app ScribMaster, a famous vector based drawing app. I published another app based on the ScribMaster drawing engine recently:
HandWrite Pro on Google Play
HandWrite Pro is a note-taking app for your finger or stylus, but it is also an advanced vector-based drawing app.
You can either use your fingertips, an active pen (e.g. the stylus from the Samsung Galaxy Note series) or a passive pen. The vector graphics engine allows you to zoom in without pixelation or losing quality. If you use a stylus you can set the "stylus only" option so that your wrist won't accidentally draw lines. The app also allows you to export your work for refinement on a PC later.
I'd really like to hear your opinion on HandWrite Pro (or ScribMaster), so feel free to share it here.

Re: [FREEMIUM]HandWrite Pro Note and Draw
Just downloaded it. I was reading the tutorial and one thing I noticed is that you do not have a simple way to scroll. It is awkward to zoom out further and zoom in, instead of a simple scroll. I also have an active stylus. Will you be allowing options to allow palm and finger rejection with an active stylus device?

What formula would I use to solve something like this:
If I have 12 possible positions and a certain number of objects e.g. 3 and need to figure out all the combinations for the 3 objects across the 12 positions, how would I go about this?
If you someone could direct me to the correct formula or a similar problem/solution I would be very grateful.
Thanks for the reply: so as a quick sanity check:
If I have 12 possible positions and 3 objects, there should be (12x11x10)/(1x2x3) = 220 combinations?
There should be only one object in a given position at any time...However I also need to eliminate scenarios such as the following:
object 1: position 1, object 2: position 5, object 3: position 12
object 1: position 12, object 2: position 1, object 3: position 5
For the purposes that I need this for that would be considered the same combination as there are still three objects (it doesnt matter which ones) in the same positions.
Thanks in advance
I;ve been doing some reading and maybe I have this wrong...I think the formula should be n!/(n-r)! or 12!/(12-3)! which gives me 1320 combinations...but I;m not sure if that accounts for the repetition that I described above....
Since order doesn't matter, the answer is "12 choose 3" = 12! / (9! x 3!).
12! is the number of permutations of the 12 positions.
For each permutation of the first three, there are 9! permutations of the remaining positions. So you need to divide by 9! to eliminate over counting.
And since the order of the first three doesn't matter, you need to divide by 3! to come up with combinations.
Same result as Feryll's description, just stated a bit differently.
Hi flatiron,
Thanks for the answer...Probably a bit of a daft question but if I'm following the above correctly does that mean there are the same possible amount of combinations for 2 objects as 10 objects:
No Positions: 12, Objects: 2: "12 choose 2" - 12! / (10! * 2!)
No Positions: 12, Objects: 10: "12 choose 10" - 12! / (2! * 10!)
Both options give me 66 combinations.
That seems off...
Lets make it simple.
Suppose we have a board with twelve peg holes in a row.
We have three blue pegs.
There are ways to put those pegs into the peg holes.
If we have two blue pegs.
There are ways to put those pegs into the peg holes.
On the other hand.
If we have three pegs, one red, one white, and one blue.
There are ways to put those pegs into the peg holes.
If we have two pegs, one red and one blue.
There are ways to put those pegs into the peg holes.
That models your question in two ways.
In the first order does not matter. In the second order matters.
Hi Plato,
Thanks for that reply. I understand now.
That's alot of combinations! I need this for a input to a program that will take 30 hours (approx) to run per combination so I'm trying to think of ways to reduce the number of combinations that I need to run without comprising the statistical validity of what I'm doing....A friend of mine suggested a fractional factorial analysis....Do you think this is applicable and could you possible point me in the direction of where I would begin such a design?
Thanks again.
Choosing 2 objects from 12 and choosing 10 objects from 12 are effectively the same thing, so they should give the same number of combinations. When you choose 2, you're not choosing 10, so you're just dividing the 12 objects into two groups.

Theballerlife.com just heard that actor Rockmond Dunbar got engaged to his girlfriend/fellow actress Maya Gilbert in Jamaica on New Year's Eve.
Meet Model Machiko Harris, girlfriend of actor Rockmond Dunbar.The couple started dating sometime in 2006, after Rockmond divorced his ex-wife of 3 years model Ivy Holmes. When speaking on the divorce from his ex-wife, Dunbar says, "I deserve a partner who's going to be my partner 100 percent of the time."
Peep the photo below of Rockmond's ex-wife model Ivy Holmes.
When speaking of Machiko, a rep for Dunbar admitted the couple is going strong. "They are very serious," said Lisa Sorenson. Dunbar does not have any children from either relationship.

Thirst for Thrills: Hit the Slopes With Actor Paul Wesley
Snowboarding 101: Wesley's Advice
How to prepare for the powder and avoid perpetuating a negative stereotype:
Keep at It
"Don't get discouraged the first week.The first day you try snowboarding is the worst day of your life. It's one of the hardest things to pick up, but once you figure out how to stabilize, it's so rewarding. Oh, and make sure you get some waterproof pants, because you'll be sitting on your ass the first two days. That's the best advice I can give."
Stay In Shape in the Off-season
"I have chicken legs. I hate to admit it, and it's pathetic. And I know that when I get onto my board, I won't be able to walk after that first day because I haven't been using my legs at all. I'll go to the gym and lift some weights—maybe once in a while I'll run. If I were wise I'd do more leg workouts, because when I get out there, it's really hard."
Grow Up
"There are a lot of punks who sag their pants and act really loud and annoy the shit out of [everyone on the mountain]. Try not to fall into that crowd."
MF Pick: Burton Family Tree Cheetah Snowboard
This board, designed for Burton rider Terje Haakonsen, features a slight taper designed to help it perform in the powder, and a swallowtail design that's a nod to Haakonsen's expertise on the powder.

Wonderful change from the normal carbonaras I have had in the past!! I had some leftover cooked fettuccine in my refrigerator from a previous recipe that I made too much of the pasta, so very quick to make lunch today. Other then scaling this way back to serve one (using one egg), after I took the photo, I added cooked bacon crumbles. Thanks for sharing a fun new twist, which I much prefer the mushrooms over the normal peas, that I will make again. Made for CQ 2014.
wowser this good made with paula g chimichurri bread awesome combocakepops on parade italian leg of quest
I made this recipe this afternoon. The taste was good and it get even better after had been refrigerated and reheated by microwave. I love mushroom and will put more next time.

I am pissed! Last week, middle of the day on Tuesday a station in the smaller town I was in raised their gas prices as I was going by from $3.29 to $3.65. I let my wife and a couple of friends know that they should get gas if they were close to in need via text a little while later, anticipating that a big hike was in the works across every where. I also waited with much anticipation to see what crazy stuff was going on somewhere, whether it be a refinery fire or shutdown, escalating stances from Iran again, or just some middle eastern uprising crisis otherwise that was causing the spike. And nothing, no news at all, and though oil threatened higher on Tuesday, the next 2 days oil prices actually fell sharply downward. What the heck?

Crosman's Seeds is a family run business since 1838.
Charles Frederick Crosman was the original founder and owner of Crosman Seed Company, Inc. When Charles F. Crosman arrived in Rochester, NY he found a region devoted to agriculture. There was a constant demand for good seed from the new settlers in the Genesee Country and pioneers heading west. From the first, seeds were a principal commodity handled by Mr. Crosman. On the death of the founder in 1866, the business passed to his two sons, Charles W. (20 years old) and George F. (17 years old) Crosman. Without hesitation, they assumed control of his affairs, organized the business on a new basis and greatly expanded their operations.
The two sons maintained seed beds in the Rochester area as well as in Canada and Michigan to be used as trial grounds to test seeds. The Crosman Brothers produced large quantities of seeds by distributing choice varieties to farmers of Monroe County and taking the pay in a part of the crop. As the business continued to expand various wholesale and retail outlets were opened in the heart of the City of Rochester.
From 1905 to 1908 the large real estate holdings were rapidly developed by the Crosman Realty Company. During this time the Crosman Seed Company absorbed many small seed business in the area.
The Crosman Brothers Seed Company came under new management in 1924. Three years later operations moved to its current location at West Commercial Street in East Rochester. Its headquarters were then established in the large factory buildings formerly used by Miss Kate Gleason for the manufacture of trailer cars. The Crosman management passed to C. J. McRoberts, President; C. Stolbrand, Secretary; H. W. Mapstone, Sales Manager.
By 1928, Herbert William Mapstone had acquired ownership. He continued as president of Crosman Seed Company for 52 years until his death in 1979. During this period the company directed its interests and sales to wholesale packet production, supplying national chain stores such as Kresge (now Kmart), Grants, Murphy's, and Neisner's, along with Ben Franklin Stores and independent stores.
Crosman Seed supplied seeds at reasonable costs throughout the Depression years. They also donated seeds for area Victory Gardens during World War II. After World War II, the packaging of lawn seed mixes was introduced at Crosman's. Eight mixtures were developed for retail sale along with any requests for special mixes. Gradually lawn care fertilizer and control products were introduced to their inventory. Today a full line of professional lawn care products are carried along with hydroseeding supplies.
After many years of continuous operation the company was documented at the Smithsonian Institution.
The Crosman Seed Corporation continues under operation of the Herbert W. Mapstone family. The third generation, William R Mapstone and Craig H Mapstone are the current operational directors.

Okay, ladies and gents, the Mass Effect 3 review has finally landed so you can see whether you'll be up for getting lost in space this month. Our own Adam Sessler took the Normandy SR2 out for a spin and came back with a verdict on not just the third Mass Effect title, but the series at large. But don't take my word for it, here's a snippet from Adam's spoiler-free review:
Here is one of Mass Effect 3's greatest tricks; as the final game in the series, it no longer has the lure of your decisions manifesting themselves in unknown ways in successive games and yet the decisions you make feel the most significant, perhaps because they are reflection of your own ethics.
We know you need more so hop on in and read our Mass Effect 3 review. Remember, Earth depends on it.

Crewel was published in the UK by Faber & Faber on October 18th and here's what it's all about:
Incapable. Awkward. Artless.
That's what the other girls whisper behind her back. But sixteen-year-old Adelice Lewys has a secret - she wants to fail. Gifted with the ability to weave time and matter, Adelice is exactly what the Guild is looking for, and in the world of Arras, being chosen as a Spinster is everything a girl could want. It means privilege, power and beauty, the ability to embroider the very fabric of life. It also means entering a world secrets and lethal intrigue. But unlike the others, Adelice isn't interested in controlling what people eat, where they live and how many children they have and will do anything to hide her talent from the Guild. But when she slips up during her final test, her gift is identified. Now she has one hour to eat her mum's overcooked dinner. One hour to listen to her sister's school gossip and laugh at her dad's stupid jokes. One hour to pretend everything is OK. And one hour to escape. Because once you become a Spinster, there's no turning back . .

Chapter 2
As they pull me from the escape tunnel, someone jabs a needle in my wounded leg. I thrash as the liquid burns through my calf, but suddenly I'm calm. When one of the officers helps me stand in the damp basement, I smile at him. I can't remember being happier. 'Patch that up,' barks a tall official coming down the basement stairs. He's not like the others, who are dressed in typical soldier's regalia. He is older and very handsome. His jaw is too smoothly sculpted to be natural, but the slight grey peppering his styled hair gives away his age. His nose, eyes, and teeth are too perfect, and I bet he's been taking advantage of renewal patches. He has the kind of face they put on the Stream to read the news. I blink dreamily at him as a medic begins cleaning the wound from the claw. A group of women scurry down behind the official and begin wiping my face and combing my hair.
It feelsso nice I want to fall asleep. The only thing keeping me awake is the cold, gritty concrete under my bare feet. I've lost my shoes in the struggle. 'You gave her too much,' the official grumbles. 'I said get her Stream-ready, not dose her out of her mind.' 'I'm sorry. She was really fighting us,' one of the officers tells him. I can hear the grin in his voice. 'Fix it.' A moment later another needle pricks my arm, and I stop smiling. I'm still calm, but the euphoria is fading. 'Adelice Lewys?' the official asks, and I nod. 'Do you understand what's going on?' I try to say yes but nothing comes out, so I bob my head once more. 'There's a Stream crew upstairs and most of your neighbourhood. I'd prefer we didn't have to drag you off looking like a loose thread, but if you try that again I'll have him dose you. Do you understand what I'm saying?' He points to the medic who has finished healing my wound. I manage to squeak, 'Yes.' 'Good girl. We'll deal with this later,' he says, gesturing to the escape tunnel. 'Your job is to smile and look thrilled to be selected. Can you do that?' I stare at him. The official sighs and cocks his head to activate the microscopic complant embedded over his left ear. The device automatically connects you to any other complant user or wall-communication panel. I've seen men in the metro chatting on them, but my father's role as a mechanic doesn't warrant the privilege of having one implanted.
A moment later I'm privy to the man's one-sided conversation. 'Hannox, do you have them? No, hold her.' Turning back to me, he points to the hole my mother and Amie disappeared through. 'Let's pretend my colleague has someone you love very much in his custody, and your performance for the Stream crew decides whether she lives or dies. Can you look thrilled now?' I muster up the brightest smile I can and flash it at him. 'Not bad, Adelice.' But then he frowns and pushes away the grooming crew. 'Are you idiots? This is a retrieval. She can't wear cosmetics!' I look away as he continues to berate the aestheticians, and search for signs of my father. He's nowhere, but as my eyes scan the wall I can't make out any other cracks that could hide a passage. Of course, until twenty minutes ago I hadn't known about even the first two passages. 'Are we clear?' the official asks the medic. 'Give her one more minute.' 'I'm fine,' I say with a smile, practising for the Stream crew. But as soon as I speak, my stomach contracts hard and sends my dinner back up my throat. I double over and retch up pot roast and frothy cream. 'Fantastic,' the official bellows. 'Can't I even get a competent squad?' 'She'll be fine now,' the medic says, backing up a few steps. The official glowers at him and then turns and leads me to the stairs. At the last step, he grabs my arm and leans in close. 'Make it look real. Her life depends on it.'
I don't have the guts to ask him if he means my mother or my sister; his answer will only tell me who is dead. I stagger up the stairs and blink hard against the bright lights of the main floor. Every lamp is on and the kitchen and dining room have been ransacked. As we march through the dining room on our way to the front door, I slip on something dark and sticky. One of the officers catches my arm as I stumble, and I snap my head down to the spot on the floor. It's nearly black and pools out from a large, stiff bag. I crumple back against the man behind me. 'No time for that now, sweetheart,' he hisses. 'You've got a show to put on or we're going to need more of those bags.' I can't tear my eyes from the bag, so he leads me away. I try to tell him there's blood on my feet, but he's already barking more orders at his squad. 'Halt,' commands a guard at the door. The official steps forward, runs his eyes over me, sighs, and steps out onto the porch to thunderous applause. I turn away and focus on the long black bag, but a guard moves over to the table, blocking my view. I glance over to see he's eating the cake. 'Hey,' I call, and everyone looks at me in surprise. 'That's half a week's rations! Leave it for my family.' The officer's eyes dart to his companion, and I see it on their faces – pity – but he sets down the cake. 'Blessings, Romen! I'm Cormac Patton and . . .' The rude official addresses the crowd from my porch. More applause. He waits a moment for it to calm down.
'He always has time for applause,' an aesthetician notes drily. 'Blessings, Arras. I'm Cormac Patton,' her companion mimics him in a low voice, and they laugh until a guard shushes them. Cormac Patton. Coventry Ambassador for the Guild of Twelve and the Stream's number-one pretty boy. How could I have not recognised him? They must have really drugged me. Or maybe I'm not used to celebrities hanging out in my basement. Even my mom has a thing for him. But I don't see the appeal. Sure, he's perpetually clad in a black, double-breasted tuxedo, and very handsome, but he has to be at least forty. Or maybe even older, since I can't remember a time in my life when he looked anything but forty. I can't comprehend that he's standing on my porch right now. 'We are privileged to call to service Adelice Lewys,' Cormac's voice bellows. An officer pushes me out next to him. 'May Arras flourish at her touch.' The crowd echoes back the blessing and colour floods my cheeks. I paste the bright smile on my face and will it to stick. 'Wave,' Cormac instructs me through gritted teeth, his own smile undiminished as he gives the command. I wave shyly and keep beaming at the crowd. A moment later, officers surround and flank us, escorting us to a waiting motocarriage. The crowd swarms into a mob and all I see are hands. The officers hold most of them back, and I shrink away from the mob. Everywhere I look, fingers claw at me, grabbing for a bit of my skirt or a caress of my hair.
I'm breathing faster, and beside me Cormac frowns. The drugs must not be as strong as he thought. I think of his threat and force myself to look excited. The motocarriage is longer than any of the motopacts I've seen in Romen. I've seen ones like this on the Stream. Motopacts are daily cars to drive into the metro, but motocarriages like this have chauffeurs. I fix my eyes on it; I only have to make it that far and then this public charade will be over. An officer ushers me to the rear side door and helps me in. As the door shuts me safely away from the cheering crowd, I scowl. 'That's much more attractive,' Cormac mutters as he slides in next to me. 'At least you're the last retrieval.' 'Had a long day?' I ask harshly. 'No, but I can't imagine dragging your deadweight around much longer,' he snaps back as he pours himself a glass of amber liquid. He doesn't bother to offer me any. I lapse into silence. Deadweight. The image of the body bag lying casually on my dining-room floor floats into my head and hot tears prick my eyes, threatening to spill over. I stare out of the window so he won't see me cry. The glass is tinted and the crowd can no longer watch us, but they're still milling around. Neighbours talk animatedly, pointing to our house. Several heads incline, relaying the news to people far away on their complants. We haven't had a retrieval in Romen in ten years. Tomorrow I'll be on Romen's morning Stream. I wonder what they'll say about my parents. My sister. Cormac is downing the last drops of his cocktail when his head cocks to the side to take a call. 'Here,' he grunts.
He's quiet but soon indifference turns to mild annoyance. 'Clean it,' he says. 'No, clean all of it.' His head shifts back down, disconnecting from the call, and he looks at me. 'Lucky girl.' I shrug, not willing to betray my feelings at the moment. I'm not sure what cleaning is, and from the way he growled the order, I'm not sure I want to know. 'Oh, you have no idea,' he says. 'How's your leg?' I glance down to the gashes the claw left and find they're gone. 'Fine, I guess.' I try to keep the surprise out of my voice but can't. 'Renewal patch,' he informs me. 'One of the many perks you'll have as a Spinster.' I don't respond, and he returns to the crystal bottle for another drink. My eyes wander back to the window. We're nearly out of Romen, and it's hard to believe I'll never come back here. The view grows hazy and my eyelids droop; the drugs they administered earlier are making me sleepy. But right before my eyes close, the street disappears behind us, shimmering and fading into nothing. An officer shakes me awake when we get to the Nilus Station and hands me a pair of shoes. Another escorts me to the toilet and stands guard. Afterwards, I'm taken to a small private powder room and given a simple white shift to change into. They take away everything I was wearing before. I dress as slowly as possible, trying to sift through the fog in my head. I can't put off going out into the station for long.
The Nilus Station is situated in the capital of the Western Sector and it rebounds travellers to the other three capital cities in Arras. It's also strictly policed. Only the most important businessmen can travel between the four sectors; someone like my dad wouldn't qualify. I've never been out of Romen's city limits before today. I should be excited, but all I feel is a dull twinge at the thought. Cormac is lounging in a turquoise chair outside the powder room. 'Ever been to a rebound station, Adelice?' Cormac asks conversationally as he stands to greet me when I step back into the station lobby. I shake my head. I'm not eager to act like we're friends. 'Didn't think so. It's pretty rare these days for some citizens to get border passes.' He smiles, and for the first time I notice a crease in his flawless skin. By 'some citizens' he means women and service workers. Cormac sets the pace, and I stroll with him along the periphery of the station. There's a small booth offering shoe shines, a coat-check stand, and a little café. He gestures for me to follow him into the restaurant, and we're led up to the second-floor mezzanine by a waiter. From here we can watch the travellers waiting for their rebound appointments in the great marble hall. Even though it's busy, the sounds of travel – shoes clicking, complant conversations, rustling Bulletins – fill the space and bounce back across it. The roar of energy is nearly deafening. 'Miss, I'll need to see your privilege card,' the waiter says, sneering at me.
I glance down at my simple dress and realise I don't even have my citizen ID with me, but Cormac speaks before I can make excuses. 'She's my guest. Do you need to see my PC?' It's more a challenge than a question. The waiter glances at him and the haughty smile evaporates. 'Ambassador Patton, I apologise. I didn't recognise you. I only saw the girl.' Something about the way he says the girl makes me feel dirty. 'No need to apologise. You don't get many girls in here, I imagine.' He laughs, and the waiter joins him. 'We weren't informed there would be a retrieval squad travelling through, or we would have been prepared,' the young man assures him. 'It was a last-minute retrieval, so the usual call-aheads weren't possible.' 'So she's a . . .' He eyes me admiringly. 'She is an Eligible. Treat her as you would a Spinster.' There's an edge of warning to Cormac's voice, and the young man nods solemnly. He waits on me hand and foot, although I'm not allowed to order for myself. And as if a hovering waiter isn't annoying enough, every man in the place stares at me. It's the shameless gaze of the patrons that provokes a startling realisation. Glancing back at the bustling travellers, I see the outline of suits and fedoras. The only other woman in the station takes coats at the stand I noticed earlier. Apparently only men are allowed to eat here. I knew rebounding was reserved for important businessmen, but I never realised that even the station was segregated.
I rub my hands on the hem of my shift, aware of how warm it is here. 'Lecherous lot,' Cormac says, and chuckles. 'Actually, you don't see many women out from behind the desk these days. Not without their husbands.' It takes a minute for me to realise he means me. I'm the woman out and about. 'I'd suggest eating. I know you can't have much left in you after that stupid medic screwed up. You would think they would know how much juice to give a 52 kg girl, and yet it's always too much or too little. You're lucky though – the Nilus Station has a great café.' He tips his head back toward the kitchen door. 'It might be a while before you eat again.' 'I'm not very hungry,' I say. My lamb chop sits untouched on the plate in front of me. Cormac's meal is similarly neglected, for all his advice to eat, but only because he's nursing a bourbon. Cormac leans against the table and looks at me. 'I figured as much. Take my advice though, and eat something.' I think of the dining-room table and white cake sitting on it, the puddle of black blood under its legs, and shake my head. The only thing I'm hungry for is answers. 'Eat, and I'll tell you what you want to know.' I take a couple of bites, knowing I won't be able to eat if he answers me first anyway, but as soon as I swallow, I turn my attention back to him. 'Are they dead?' The words come out flat, and in that moment I know I've lost hope. 'Your father is,' Cormac admits in a low voice. There's no remorse in his face. It's a fact.
I look down and take a deep breath. 'And my mother and sister?' 'Your sister is in custody, but I have no news on your mother.' 'Then she got away?' I ask breathlessly, wondering how they managed to catch Amie. Despite the news about my father, I feel a tug of hope. 'She got away for now. You'll be more upset later when the Valpron wears off.' 'Maybe I'm stronger than you think,' I challenge, although I'm all too aware of the numbness throughout my body. 'That would be a surprise. Valpron is a calming agent.' Cormac's eyes narrow, and he sets down his fork. 'What was your plan anyway?' 'Plan?' 'Don't be stupid, Adelice,' he snarls. 'They found four tunnels under your house that lead to places around your neighbourhood. Where were you going to go?' 'I have no idea. I didn't know about them.' It's the truth. I'm not sure I could lie right now if I wanted to, but I'd never guessed exactly how far my parents were willing to go to keep me from the Guild. How long ago had they dug those four tunnels, and how had they got away with it? From the way Cormac is staring at me, I'm sure he believes I know more than I'm telling. Cormac snorts, but resumes eating. Or rather, drinking. 'Sure you didn't. Just like you didn't try to fail at the testing.' My eyes snap up to his, and I wonder how much he knows about this, but I don't say anything else.
'I've seen the surveillance Stream on your testing. The moment you wove was an accident,' he continues. 'I had no idea what I was doing,' I say, and in truth, I didn't. I'd never used a loom to weave before and something about seeing the fabric of life – the very raw materials that composed the space around me – laid out before me, rattled me. We'd been measured and questioned, and had practised basic tasks like weaving actual fabric, but none of my classmates had much success with it. It took a certain talent they didn't seem to possess, and I'd spent my whole childhood learning to ignore mine. 'I doubt that,' Cormac says, setting down his glass. 'I know it was an accident because the loom wasn't on. A girl who can weave through time without a loom is a rare thing. It takes a very special girl to do that. We almost retrieved you right there.' I want to sink under the table. I'd known I'd given myself away, but not how much I'd revealed. This is my fault. 'Fine. Don't say anything. There's no way your mother got out,' he tells me coldly. 'We had to clean the area after the Stream crew left.' 'Clean?' I think back to the complant conversation I overheard in the motocarriage. It was short and he was mad, but the rest is lost in a haze. As I sift back further, the evening comes in bursts of images. Eating with my family. A white cake. Cold, dark dirt. 'I love how innocent you are. It's really just . . . delightful.' He smirks, and this time I see tiny crinkles around his eyes. 'The section has been cleaned and rewoven. No use trying to explain why a whole family went missing, especially not with the recent accident.'
'My sister's teacher,' I murmur. 'Mrs Swander,' he confirms. 'What a mess, but not significant enough to justify a full cleaning.' I try to wrap my mind around what he's saying. The Guild transports food, assigns roles and houses, and oversees the addition of new babies to the population. But Arras hasn't had an accident or crime in years. At least not that I know of. 'Wait, are you saying you removed the memories of all the people in Romen?' 'Not exactly,' he says, downing the last of his bourbon. 'We adjusted them a bit. When people try to remember your family, it will be a bit blurry. Your history now indicates you were an only child and your parents have been given clearance to move closer to the Coventry – that's if anyone bothers to check up on you, but they won't.' 'You made it all disappear,' I whisper. 'It's easy to adjust at night thanks to the curfew,' he says, taking a bite of steak. 'I'm sure it sounds horrible to you, but there's no need to cause massive panic.' 'You mean' – I lean in and keep my voice low – 'there's no need to let people know you murdered their neighbours.' The wicked grin fades from his face. 'Some day you'll understand, Adelice, that everything I do ensures people are safe. Cleaning a whole town isn't something I take lightly, and it's not easy. Most Spinsters don't have the talent for it. You'd be wise to remember you're the reason I had to order it.' 'I thought Arras didn't have to worry about safety.
Isn't that why you need girls like me?' I challenge, gripping the butter knife next to my plate. 'Like I said, your ignorance is truly delightful.' But he doesn't seem amused any more. Instead his black eyes blaze with repressed fury. 'Spinsters do ensure safety, by following my orders. It's not all parties and loom work. The Guild demands loyalty. Never forget that.' I can hear the warning in his voice not to push this further, so I relax my hand and the knife clatters back to the table. 'I hope you had enough to eat,' he snaps, rising from his seat. Apparently two bites of food is enough to appease him. I follow. I don't have any other choice. A girl from our neighbourhood was labelled a deviant a few years back. It's a very rare thing, since everyone in Arras lives by a zero-tolerance policy for misbehaviour. But my dad told me that occasionally a child is brought up on charges and taken away. He said sometimes they come back, but most don't. The little girl came back, but she was always in a daze, never quite in the moment with the rest of us. That's how my neighbours will be when they think of me. It's as though I don't exist, and even the meds still coursing through my body can't block the tingle of pain that runs down to my fingertips when I think of it. The meal was a courtesy, it turns out, because we don't have rebound appointments. We don't need them. I'm torn between feeling guilty that he was being nice to me and wondering what his motives were.
I trail Cormac as he strides past the line of men waiting on deck for their scheduled departures. A few grumble as we pass but the others shush them. 'I need to bump two spots,' Cormac tells the man at the counter, flashing him his PC. I have no doubt this man knows who he is, but he takes the card and studies it for a moment before keying in a code on the companel, a communications system built into the wall behind him. A moment later, a young woman dressed in a snug sky-blue suit steps out from the corridor behind the desk and leads us past the counter. 'Ambassador Patton, will you require a refreshment while you rebound?' She's all bubbles and pink lipstick. 'I ate. Thank you,' he tells her with a wink. She doesn't ask me. Cormac's rebound compartment is before my own, and I half expect him to disappear through the door without another word to me, but he turns and sizes me up one last time. 'Adelice, I suggest you get some rest during your rebound.' I keep my eyes focused on the end of the corridor. He's acting like my dad. Telling me when to eat, when to sleep. But he's the reason I need a surrogate father in the first place. 'You know you don't deserve the way they're going to treat you.' His voice sounds concerned but the Valpron must be wearing off, because I can barely keep myself from spitting at him. I don't need his kindness. 'You have no idea what you're getting yourself into,' he says, reading my face. He sighs and opens the chamber door. 'I hope you learn to listen before it's too late.' I don't bother to respond. I don't want his arrogant advice.
I watch him fixedly until the door shuts behind him. My guide shepherds me to the next compartment and follows me in. 'This is the first time you've rebounded,' she says matter-of-factly as she ushers me to a single chair on a small platform in the centre of the room. 'You're likely to experience some nausea or vomiting.' I sit down awkwardly and take in the sparse room. 'Here.' She reaches around me and buckles a strap against my waist. 'What's that for?' 'We need to keep your movement confined to a minimal space during the rebounding process. Usually you can read or eat or drink,' she tells me, unfolding a small tray from the arm of the chair. 'But no getting up.' I glance down at the straps, and raise an eyebrow. 'I'm sorry.' She lifts her heavily lined eyes, and I can see she means it. 'I'm not authorised to give you anything.' 'It's okay,' I say with a shrug. 'I get the impression girls are rare around here.' The girl adjusts my straps and checks the buckle before she steps back. She hesitates and checks the countdown on the wall: I have two minutes until the rebound will begin. 'That's it though.' She pauses and glances around the room. 'I probably should shut up.' 'What?' The medication is definitely wearing off, because now I'm holding back panic. 'Yes, women very rarely rebound, only Spinsters and Ministers' wives. But they are given anything they want,' she whispers.
'I don't understand,' I admit slowly. She leans forward and pretends to adjust the tray. 'They come in dressed up and we are supposed to give them bulletins and fashion catalogues to peruse. But you . . .' I stare at her, trying to get what she's telling me. 'My directions were to keep you buckled and locked down.' 'Locked down?' 'Yes.' She sighs and gives me a sympathetic pat. 'I'm sorry.' She reaches behind my back, and a second later, a large helmet woven of thick steel chains clamps down over my head. I cry out, but the sound is muffled. She squeezes my hand once, and I calm a little. Then more metal locks down, binding my wrists. 'Your rebound will only take an hour,' she reassures me, although I can barely hear her through the twisted metal. 'Good luck, Adelice.' I wish I'd asked her name. The helmet blocks most of the room around me, but I can see through the gaps. It's an inconsequential room with bare white walls, except for the clock counting down in the corner. The nausea hits first. The floor drops from under me and my stomach turns over, but I don't fall. The helmet keeps my head perfectly straight and my neck stretched, so I don't throw up, but I want to. Closing my eyes, I breathe evenly, trying to keep the sickness at bay.
When I open them and peer through the steel wires, the room around me is gone, and I'm surrounded by a shimmering array of lights. The sight calms me and I focus on studying the gleaming strands that comprise the rebound compartment. Glowing beams twist across the room and then long threads of grey knit up through them, crisscrossing over the light into a luminous fabric of gold and silver. Somewhere a girl sits, replacing the weave of the rebound chamber with that of a chamber in a coventry, effectively moving me from one location to the other. I'm travelling hundreds of miles without moving a muscle. It's a delicate procedure, which is why it's reserved for the most important people in Arras. The Stream ran a special story vlip about the process a few years ago. Gradually the light disappears and slowly – too slowly – grey walls form in patches around me, and the radiant canvas of the rebound process fades into a concrete room. It takes an eternity before the beams are gone, but when the last flickers into wall, I'm happy to feel the helmet being lifted from my head. A group of sombrely clad officers surrounds me. The one who removed the helmet hesitates at the cuffs on my arms. They ache from being shackled during the trip, and I'm about to tell him so when a young blond in an expensive suit steps forward and holds his hand up. His head is cocked to the side, and I realise he's on his complant. Despite his obvious youth, he seems to be in charge. He's the kind of boy my classmates would zero in on in the daily Bulletin and giggle over as they passed his image around. But even this close to him, I only feel curiosity. 'Sedate her.' 'Sir?' the officer asks in surprise.
'She wants her sedated,' the blond boy orders. 'You want to ask her why?' The officer shakes his head, but as a medic rushes forward with a syringe I can see the apology in the boy's blindingly blue eyes.

Air New Zealand has appointed Christopher Luxon as its next Chief Executive Officer.
Chairman John Palmer said today Mr Luxon will take over from current Chief Executive Officer Rob Fyfe at the end of December.
Mr Luxon is presently Group General Manager International Airline and has held the role since joining Air New Zealand in May, 2011, following a successful career at Unilever in North America, Asia and Australia. His most recent role there was President and Chief Executive Officer of Unilever's Canadian business.
Mr Palmer says Mr Luxon brings a wealth of international business experience to Air New Zealand and an exceptionally strong commercial and customer focus.
"Christopher has world class strategic, commercial, leadership and stakeholder management capabilities proven across multiple markets. These have been highly evident to the Air New Zealand Board in the year that he has been with the company and we have seen him affect positive commercial outcomes in our toughest operating division," Mr Palmer says.
Mr Luxon says he feels exceptionally privileged to be given the opportunity to lead the world's best airline and further build on its commercial success of the past decade.
"Rob Fyfe has done an incredible job transforming Air New Zealand and steering it through some of the most difficult trading conditions in modern history. I will take over an airline that has significant financial strength, some incredibly exciting commercial opportunities and 11,000 Air New Zealanders who are committed to being world class in everything they do," Mr Luxon says.
Chief Executive Officer Rob Fyfe congratulated Mr Luxon on his appointment.
"Christopher thoroughly deserves to lead Air New Zealand into the next chapter of its history. He is a world class executive on every level and will challenge Air New Zealanders to lift the airline's commercial and customer focus to an even higher level," Mr Fyfe says.
Mr Palmer says the Board is delighted that it has been able to appoint an internal candidate to the role of Chief Executive Officer.
"We conducted an exhaustive international search for a new Chief Executive Officer and it gives the Board great heart that the succession process it had in place furnished strong internal candidates leading to this appointment."
Mr Palmer says the Board and Mr Fyfe have in place a well planned transition period over the next six months to ensure a seamless transition. Mr Luxon will be able to use this time to get close to the parts of the business outside his current responsibilities and to access the key domestic and international aviation, investor and stakeholder relationships that are crucial to running a world class airline.

On the first time he met Alberto Del Rio: "It was actually that day he debuted, that was the first time I met him. I knew who he was before because I've been a huge wrestling fan for most of my life. I didn't recognize him at first because of the mask, but once I found out who he was I thought it was awesome because I had done so many shows back in California with his uncle Mil Mascaras...but I didn't meet him until that day…and that was nerve wrecking for me because it was my first time in a WWE event and I had just kinda been picked up for it...it was also the first day I met Vince (McMahon)."
On the fans cheering him and Del Rio now instead of booing: "Since in the company, we've been bad guys so it's pretty much all we knew…but this transition has been interesting because it's not something we asked the fans to do, they started applauding, they started cheering…It started slowly by our crazy antics or Del Rio's crazy wrestling ability, the crowd started turning and cheering for us, it's been interesting because it isn't something we've asked the crowd to do."
On his favorite Royal Rumble moment: "I'm going to be totally full of myself, last year when I was in it. The car, the reaction of the crowd and being in there with Mick Foley, which is awesome, and Santino giving me the wedgie…also when Del Rio won the Rumble in Boston."
On if he will be in the Rumble on Sunday: "Well it's up to the boss, I mean if he lets me I would love to. If Del Rio lets me partake in the Rumble I would love to be a part of it. I think I have to one-up myself and get two eliminations this time as opposed to one."

ABC's The Revolution Continues to Spiral Downward
by Marc Berman Mon February 9, 2012 in Highlights with 18 Comments
The scenario continues to worsen. Based on the Live Plus Same Day ratings from Nielsen for the week of January 30, week three of ABC daytime talk show The Revolution dipped to 1.44 million viewers, which is now half the audience of year-ago occupant One Life to Live (2.85 million viewers for the week of 1/31/11). Erosion in the three key demos — women 25-54, women 18-49 and women 18-34 — is also 50 percent as illustrated.
One Life to Live – Week of 1/24/11
Viewers: 2.85 million, Women 25-54: 1.4/ 8, Women 18-49: 1.0/ 6, Women 18-34: 0.6/ 3
The Revolution – Week of 1/23/12
Viewers: 1.44 million, Women 25-54: 0.7/ 4, Women 18-49: 0.5/ 3, Women 18-34: 0.3/ 2
The Revolution continues to trail The Talk on CBS and recent entry The Chew on ABC by considerable percentages as follows:
-Total Viewers:
The Talk (CBS): 2.31 million, The Chew (ABC): 2.23, The Revolution (ABC): 1.44
-Women 25-54:
The Talk (CBS): 1.1/ 7, The Chew (ABC): 1.0/ 6, The Revolution (ABC): 0.7/ 4
-Women 18-49:
The Talk (CBS): 0.9/ 6, The Chew (ABC): 0.8/ 5, The Revolution (ABC): 0.5/ 3
-Women 18-34:
The Talk (CBS): 0.6/ 4, The Chew (ABC): 0.5/ 4, The Revolution (ABC): 0.3/ 2
And The Revolution is down from its already DOA week one delivery as follows:
The Revolution (ABC)
Week of 01/16/12
Total Viewers: 1.68 million, Women 25-54: 0.8/ 4, Women 18-49: 0.6/ 3, Women 18-34: 0.3/ 2
Week of 01/30/12
Total Viewers: 1.44 million, Women 25-54: 0.7/ 4, Women 18-49: 0.5/ 3, Women 18-34: 0.3/ 2
Percent Change:
Total Viewers: -14, Women 25-54: -12, Women 18-49: -17, Women 18-34: no change
Three weeks to-date and The Revolution on ABC is turning into one of the biggest failures in the history of daytime. As for The Chew versus year-ago occupant All My Children, the losses this week are 16 percent in total viewers (2.65 to 2.23 million), 23 percent in women 25-54 (1.3/ 7 to 1.0/ 6) and 11 percent in women 18-49 (0.9/ 5 to 0.8/ 5). Results among women 18-34 are flat.
This week's moral of the story: talk is cheap, but the audience is more valuable.

Well gee, that's a shame. I thought there were all these demographically-desirable people out there looking for television shows to edutain them. Where are they? Maybe they just don't know that The Revolution has started.
I only hope that if it comes down to it they flat-out cancel the show instead of retooling/revamping it.

|They made a huge mistake putting this POS crap on the air when they had a show getting double the ratings in that slot. The advertisers must be fuming - the ones who were stupid enough to buy airtime during Revolution and the ones who bought during GH too.
|Feb 10 2012, 01:12 AM Post #12
The show was a trainwreck before it even aired. There was already reports of how they had to retool it and how they were struggling with how to bring it all together. It wasn't testing well at all, which begs the question...why air it?
At least The Chew had it's shit together before they aired it and (like it or not) that is why it's holding up. This was a disaster from the get go. They should've at least made sure they had a show that tested well and was ready to go before replacing OLTL, which had all the momentum in the world at the time. Then again, I'm convinced ABC wants out of soaps so bad they don't care how bad the shows they replace the soaps with fail. They will just keep churning out replacements because they will figure they are still cheaper and lower risk, higher reward kind of deals. They just want out of soaps. Period.

The bolded was my favorite part of this article. Thanks for posting.
|Feb 10 2012, 04:26 PM Post #14
|It doesn't matter what happens to this show, OLTL is never coming back. The only thing it's failure might do is give GH an extra year. Even that won't happen unless GH can get it's horrid numbers up, otherwise, The Revolution will just get replaced in September with something even cheaper. Remember, the cheaper a show is the less important the ratings are.
|Feb 10 2012, 04:33 PM Post #15
Well, obviously. We can still take joy in its miserable performance, however.
|Feb 12 2012, 10:31 PM Post #16
And it's a DAMN shame is what it is.

|I like Ty Pennighton but I prefer that ABC put him back on the show he was on before when he gave back to people by helping build houses that was my favorite show with him on it how come ABC hasn't gone back to that show or maybe they have and I haven't seen it but that was my favorite show with him on was when he was building houses with his the rest of the crew I don't watch the Revolution and would rather see Ty be back on primetime and seen ABC bring Ty back into the fold of building houses and homes for I loved that show and think hes an awesome leader and host on that show too so I'm kind of hoping that ABC brings back that show on primetime if its already not back on primetime already with Ty Pennighton hosting that show. I do like Ty Pennighton its just that the reveloution isn't really my cup of tea and I find it extreme boring along with The Chew.
|Feb 13 2012, 02:34 AM Post #18
they cancelled his show.
|Feb 29 2012, 04:55 PM Post #19
I wasn't an AMC fan but recently came back to OLTL. I won't watch the chew or the revolution simpy because they cancelled 2 popular and long standing soaps. Plus who needs another cooking show.

|With luck, this will buy GH another year. There's an opening now for them and Katie Couric now.

Fascinating. I'm guessing the 350kV difference is the 30kA through the 25 ohm ground impedance or something like that?

Is the voltage profile reasonably uniform down the tower (e.g. at 12 feet it's 170kV, etc.) or is it distinctly nonlinear? On tesla coils, where I (and others) have done lots of modeling and measurements, you get a funny distribution. It's not linear because the C from a section of the secondary to the ground plane is larger at the bottom than at the top. Sort of like a tapered transmission line. That's for the fundamental excitation. There's also other effects from fast transients (when you get a spark, the rise time is tens of nanoseconds). The folks killing their garage door openers and other consumer electronics with tesla coils kill them from the induced voltage from the field from the sparks hitting the ground. Even worse are small Marx banks. 2 or 3 nanosecond rise times aren't unusual, and a 300kV spark a couple feet long from low inductance capacitors.... that's a solid state equipment zapper. > > Some things that mitigate the situation... the coax/control cable bundles > leaving the tower are usually much skinnier than the tower, unless you have > bundles like mine of course.

Fatal Accident On I-65 In Bowling Green
Bowling Green, KY – A good Samaritan who stopped on Interstate 65 to help a motorist who had run out of gas was killed in a traffic crash Thursday in Warren County.
State police say Robert Bivin of Louisville stopped his tractor trailer rig about two miles north of Bowling Green to assist Judy Schaffer. He got gas at a nearby exit and when the two were re-fueling her car, another tractor trailer rammed Bivin's truck, pushing it forward.
The chain reaction impact killed Bivin and injured Schaffer and two others. The driver of the second rig, 56 year old Fletcher Stiff of Nashville, wasn't hurt. No charges were filed

1436: Uplands - Education and Skills
This paper is taken from the section on education and skills in Defra's 'Statistical Digest of the English Uplands 2011'.
Year of Publication2012
The proportion of pupils at the end of Key Stage 4 with at least 5 A*-C GCSEs was highest in Less Favoured Areas at 76.9% compared to 76.3% elsewhere. 90.1% of working age people in LFAs had qualifications, compared to 89.7% in England overall. The proportion of economically active people living in Less Favoured Areas with qualifications at NVQ Level 2 or above was 76%, which was higher than elsewhere. 36.2% of economically active adults in England had NVQ Level 4 qualification or above. In Less Favoured Areas, the proportion was slightly lower, 35.7%.

- Title
- Analyzing shared and team mental models
- Author(s)
- Langan-Fox, Janice; Wirth, Anthony; Code, Sharon L.; Langfield-Smith, Kim; Wirth, Andrew
- Abstract
- In recent years, there has been a resurgence of interest in the notion of shared cognition. Subsequent to this interest, two similar yet distinct concepts have emerged: 'shared mental models' and 'team mental models'. A 'shared mental model' can be described as the extent to which a dyad of individuals possesses a similar cognitive representation of some situation or phenomenon. The notion of 'team mental model', is distinct from that of a shared mental model in that it refers to shared cognition in a team as a collectivity, not shared cognition among dyads of individuals, which the alternative phrase 'shared mental models' does allow. While a number of techniques have been developed to measure mental model similarity dyadically, appropriate measures of team mental models have eluded researchers. This issue presents a problem for the evolution of the team mental model concept in psychology and the establishment of its validity, for example, as a predictor of team performance. The primary aim of the current paper was to describe the application of randomization tests as a new method for measuring mental model similarity at the team level, that is the measurement of team mental models. A secondary aim was to apply this technique to examine team mental models (of team functioning) in shop floor teams and shared mental models (of team functioning) among shop floor team members, teamwork 'experts' and managers. The advantages and disadvantages of the technique are discussed.Relevance to industryThe present project aims to provide authors with a roadmap on how to answer team mental models. The team mental model construct has extreme usefulness to individuals and researchers engaged in attempts to make teams work; to help individuals adapt to teamworking, and to make teams more efficient and productive. Teamwork has expanded exponentially in the last 10-15 years with most workers involved in some form of teamwork. Thus, the present paper is timely in its practical value of helping those in industry and organizations, to understand the dynamics of teamwork, and in particular, the 'how to' of measuring team mental models.

I want to say a special "thank you" to all the police officers, deputies, Texas Rangers, and sheriffs who came to the hospital when my Uncle Joe was sick. I also want to thank those who came to the funeral. As much as my uncle meant to you, I know each one of you meant as much to him.
I also want each of you to know how much you being there meant to me, personally. I always knew my uncle was well-liked. However, I was still amazed at the row of Stetsons at lunch, the rows of fellow officers in the church, and the line of cars going to the cemetery. I may not have met each of you or be able to remember all of your names, but all of you will always be in my heart from this day forward.
