Auckland University researchers believe they are just five to 10 years from growing entire human corneas in the laboratory to implant into patients' damaged eyes.
Professor Charles McGhee, the head of the university's National Eye Centre, performed New Zealand's first laboratory-cultured stem cell operations on patients with damaged corneas in 2010, improving the sight of most of the affected eyes.
The stem cells are typically taken from a patient's own healthy eye in a tiny biopsy - or less commonly from inside the lower lip - and are cultured in the laboratory. The resulting tissue is implanted into the damaged eye, in some cases with the addition of the transplantation of a donor cornea.
Now Professor McGhee has told a conference of eye specialists in Melbourne that growing new corneas from stem cells is nearly within the grasp of his team, which is at the forefront of this kind of work internationally.
The cornea is the transparent dome at the front of the eye. It is about 12mm in diameter, less than 1mm thick and contains three layers of cells. It can be damaged by trauma such as chemical splashes or boiling water, or by disease. This can also cause a shortage, in the cornea, of stem cells, the cells that can develop into various kinds of tissue.
Around 250 corneal transplants are done each year using corneas from deceased donors, but the supply of donated tissue is too low to meet the demand.
In 2010, the Auckland University researchers could grow cells only for the outer layer of the cornea.
"Other people are doing it as well, but in the University of Auckland we've now grown the outer layer, the middle layer and the inner layer ... so it won't be long until we can grow them into a functional biological cornea," Professor McGhee said.
"Whether that's the whole cornea, or whether it's specific layers of the cornea - we'll suit it to the needs of the person.
"It's not unreasonable that in 10 years we might have a biological cornea created in the laboratory and transplanted into the patient. I think five to 10 years is probably the time line."
To grow a replacement cornea requires a "matrix" - a superstructure or scaffold - on which the cells can grow. Various groups internationally have experimented with human proteins and synthetic polymers.
"You can use the cornea from someone else, a donor, and remove all the donor cells, then grow all the layers of new cells on to that, so what you are essentially using is the collagen of the donor cornea."
Professor McGhee and colleagues wrote in the journal Clinical and Experimental Ophthalmology in July that six eyes in five patients had been treated in Auckland with their own stem cells that had been cultured in the lab.
Five of the eyes had done well following treatment, which included a donor corneal transplant for some, but in one eye the treatment had failed after initial success.
How it's done
*A tiny piece of tissue is taken from a person's healthy eye.
*The tissue contains stem cells, which can be developed into various cells in the laboratory.
*They are grown into the kind of cells required for the cornea, on a membrane derived from human placenta.
*The resulting tissue is implanted into the patient's injured eye.
Next step
*To grow an entire cornea in the laboratory.

On Line Learning, On Line Thinking
Original post made by Paul Losch, Community Center, on Aug 7, 2013
Much of it is developing in Silicon Valley, and that is exciting for our community and offers up many expectations of how instruction, be it at the highest levels of universities to elementary school, will present itself thanks to the internet, inter alia. (pun intended)
I now will present a personal bias. Based on experience I had years ago and my recently graduated from college children: you can't learn to THINK using internet offerings. It requires human interaction face to face with people who understand the human dynamic, not just facts. People who are learning need to interact with experienced people who can lead that to thinking.
I am all for the on line ideas for instruction that are developing. My son is a 5th grade teacher, and the tools that his school acquire will do a tremendous job in making instruction in his class more effective.
But, for On line thinking? He needs to be in that classroom to guide the thinking as well as the learning.

This next generation will be different. They will be unable to read faces because they will be looking at screens instead of faces. They will never know the nuance of eye to eye teaching. Nor experience the level of understanding which comes from a teacher seeing the effect of his teaching by reading eyes. The next generation will be just that much dumber because of it.

> you can't learn to THINK using internet offerings. It requires human interaction face to face with people
Learning is changing your programming. If you touch a hot stove you learn to be careful around stoves ... I really do not see where you get that learning takes human interactions.
Now, deliberate teaching is a different matter. We are wired to learn best by ... hate to say it, monkey see - monkey do, mirror neurons and all that - or another way, role models.
Part of the problem with disadvantaged groups is they have few role models, are not exposed to any people with different behaviors than they see every day. That's not to say they are not smart.
Face it, our society is very careful about who it lets see what. We really do not want lots and lots of smart people any more than we want lots and lots of rich people, or employed people, we keep our social control by isolating a lot of people from learning.
I think the real breakthrough in learning/teaching will come when we learn to mass produce these interactions, like we do now with movies and TV ... badly by the way, and then make facilitators available to assist students with the interpretation of what they are seeing, if they miss something, do not get it, have questions, etc ... and then feed back those questions to the designers of the "lesson" making it faster better and more accessible to all, and then link to all the other things that need that lesson as a prerequisite for the next step.
In the next 50 years we would bring the whole planet up to speed almost literally at the speed of light. But then the status quo powers that be might be very nervous and busy trying to justify the way they have built the existing infrastructure. But it would be worth it.

Hmmm .. seems to me that learning is a personal thing. I don't remember any one teacher getting up before the class, saying: "Class, today I am going to teach all of you how to think".
So, Mr. Losch, could you tell us a little about the teacher who taught you how to think. What grade were you in? Would be fascinated to hear about the day you realized that you could now think.
Details, please ..

With college becoming unaffordable for most people, yet most decent-paying jobs requiring an advanced degree ( master's or better), online learning may be the savior of our economy.

Paul Losch is a registered user.
This is not about me, and your fatuous question will not get a specific response from me.
Learning how to think is different from learning a subject matter. My point is that however much on line learning can help with the latter, I question that learning how to think can be accomplished on line.
Think about, Joe.

On line learning is the wave of the future. For $10,000 one can get a first class education online as compared to the cost of a traditional 4 year degree.
Obviously, there will have to be modifications to correct some of the shortcomings of online learning, but online learning is still the wave of the future....with some modifications of course

Not sure about learning to think, but I think students learn when they are allowed to make a mistake and then put it right.
I see very little opportunity for them to make mistakes today. The system is geared for them to perform at the first attempt and any fail will be on their transcript forever - big mistake. Any failure the kids make are corrected by the parents before it gets to the teacher. They do not get to experience a failed experiment, a failed test or a failed class, and then put it to rights.
Apollo 13 was the famous failure which ended as a success. Our kids need to have Apollo 13s in their lives to learn from their successful failures.
The best drivers have often failed their first drivers' test. The best engineers have often failed in their first design. The kids today need to learn how to fail and how to grow from it, not be prevented from making mistakes.

A Cuyahoga Falls woman has died after police say her husband beat her.
According to Akron Police, Robert H. Tucker III went to his wife's relative's house where she was visiting on Sunday and demanded that she leave with him.
Police say Tucker entered the home with a handgun and pulled his wife, Kyndall D. Tucker, 26, out by her hair.
Tucker reportedly punched his wife in the face several times and tried to force her into the trunk of his Ford Taurus. Tucker was eventually able to get his wife in the front seat and drive off.
Police say he crashed his car into a tree in the 1600 block of Manchester Road. After punching his wife several more times in the face, police say Tucker fled the scene on foot.
Tucker was transported to Akron General Medical Center where she was pronounced dead.
Tucker has been charged with kidnapping, aggravated burglary, domestic violence and weapons under disability. The Summit County Medical Examiner is conducting an autopsy, and police say additional charges could be filed.

Get over it……
In reality theirs not very many people who wouldn't have sex with snooker and most of those are gay men.
Almost all straight men, bi men, bi ladies and lesbians would do her in a heart beat. She gets a bad rap!
Be honest she's freaking hot! Just admit it, we're all thinking of snooker while with our partners or while masterbatibg.
Snooker I would bow down, beg and obey…
You're hot and I love you!

Binghamton University, Broome Community College to host financial aid workshop
Binghamton University will join Broome Community College in hosting a financial aid workshop at 10 a.m. Saturday, February 1, in Lecture Hall 2 on the Binghamton University campus. The workshop is free and open to the public.
The workshop is being held in support of Student Financial Aid Day to be hosted by SUNY campuses statewide. BU and BCC join over 30 campuses in participating in the event.
"This is a great opportunity for students and families to learn first-hand how they can take advantage of the financial aid that is available to help them pay for college," said State University of New York Chancellor Robert L. King
Financial aid experts from BU and BCC will be on hand to answer questions and provide assistance with financial aid applications, types of aid available and the award process. The experts will also provide assistance in completing the 2003 –2004 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), a form required for all financial aid. Families planning to attend should bring their 2002 or 2001 tax returns, bank statements and 2002 untaxed income statements.

Generally refering to something that just sucks. Kind of like when you see a sexy man across the room and he ends up being gay.
Person 1: That guy is soo sexy!!
Person 2 (male): Thats my boyfriend, hunni!
Person 1: That is cock shit!!

N. Typically refers to the residue remaining on the tip and shaft of the penis after anal sex. The effect is more pronounced on women (or men if you're into that homo shit) that are full of shit, both metaphorically and physically.
I slept with Nevea the other night and fucked her ass so hard I think the cock shit is permanent. That ho needs to clean herself out more often.

something ridicously frustrating. The first use of this phrase was uttered by Louis "Bo" Berger during a golf outing circa 1996. Mr Berger a very good golfer was having a poor outing. During the final holes of the game, Mr Berger became so frustrated that he became virtually speechless after a bad shot. His mouth opened and nothing came out for a few moments. Finally he blurted out the phrase "cockshit". The stunned onlookers had never heard this phrase before but immediately knew its significance. I was playing with Louis Berger that day....and to this day I use the term to donate a ridicuosly bad golf shot. That is how how the phrase was started. A perfect phrase for an unexpectedly bad turn of events. This is all 100% true. That is how the phrase was started.
That shot was Cockshit........

Society of Physics Students: Fall Picnic
Twice a year, the Society of Physics Students (SPS) have a picnic at the RIT Observatory. Me and my roommate went this fall, and boy do I have stories to tell.
It's a gaggle of Galilean geeks! SPS Members socialize while waiting for the burgers to cook. Photo Credit: Kevin Granger
At this picnic, all physics students and professors get together and socialize, eat, and play games. During the fall, the professors typically bring food to the event (the students take care of the food during the spring). Events were kicked off with a game of soccer.

Many folks were gathered around the grill, waiting eagerly for a burger or hot dog. There was also food inside, and I will eternally regret not finding out who made the delicious chocolate chip cookies. After eating for a bit, the main attraction was announced: the Piñata. Modeled after the infamous-among-physics-majors Mr. Man, the piñata was presented by the Society of Physics Students' E-Board.The Society of Physics Students' E-Board presents Mr. Man. And Mimics.

Participants were spun around 10 times before they ere allowed to swing at the target. Normal people would count "1, 2, 3, .... 10!" But no, we are not normal. We are physics majors. We counted "1, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, ..... 3..." Or, if we were feeling math-y, "2pi, 4pi, 6pi .... 20pi!" The E-board took the first few shots at it. Then everyone else had a turn -- I even took a swing at it, literally!
Critical hit! Photo Credit: Nelson Silva
After what seemed like an eternity, a head wound finally began to develop on Mr. Man. We were tired of waiting for our candy, so Mr. Man's creator, Dr. Hollenbeck, decides to send him back to where he came from. WHAM!
Mr. Man meets his maker ... now say that five times fast. Photo Credit: Tim Shank, SPS President.
At this event, we also were able to go inside the observatory itself, and learn about the telescopes. Dr. Richmond showed us how they worked, how they were connected to the computers inside the house, and much more.

As the picnic wound down, we played a bit of ultimate frisbee, while Dr. Lindberg played a bit of guitar.

Alex HensleyI'm a high school senior looking to study Physics at RIT next year. It seems like I'm making the right decisions. Looks awesome!
Kevin GrangerAlex,
The quality of the physics program here is definitely one of the things that drew me here. It's pretty good if I say so myself!
Andrew TuttleI will be coming to RIT next year to study Physics as well. Do you have any tips or insider secrets that would be useful??
I hope to see you as well Alex!
Kevin GrangerHey Andrew!
Sorry for the late reply, I'm still settling in after break.
Tips or insider secrets? I can't really think of any. The biggest challenge you might face is adjusting to college academics rather than high school (motivating yourself to study versus your parents forcing you to).
Other than that, get to know your professors. It really helps in the long run.

Nonprofit Project
Welcome to the Nonprofit Project
We are a part of the Public Administration Department at the University of Illinois at Springfield. The Nonprofit Project is a diverse and networked community of public affairs students, practitioners, and scholars interested in nonprofit management. We bring to bear the expertise of the public administration faculty and students to develop, share, and apply knowledge and to build the capacity of the nonprofit community. We divide our work in to three areas: Education, Consulting and Research.
We are first and foremost committed to continuing to be a source of professional education and training for nonprofit leaders. We have offered a certificate in non-profit management for almost twenty-five years (1988). UIS is proud of its long tradition in public affairs education. We offer a Masters in Public Administration, a graduate certificate in nonprofit management and continue to provide training experiences for nonprofit leaders and staff. Read more..
Consulting is an important part of our work. Our primary goal here is to use the project's expertise to help develop the capacity and efficiency of the nonprofit community. Sometimes we consult by using class projects to both
educate and serve. Other times we may ask agencies or organizations to provide funds for us to secure the faculty time that is needed for more complex or time intensive consultations. In any case, our goal is the same. We hope to use what we have learned to help you do what you do better. See more..
Our research is another way to empower the nonprofit community. The research we do is both theoretical and applied. That balance keeps us focused on what is important to the nonprofit manager, but also what the scholarly community is telling us about how theory can impact practice.
If you have questions or if your agency would like to work with us in any way, please contact us.

text: I just installed a new set of intake manifold gaskets on the 350 in my 98 GMC Suburban a few weeks ago. A few days ago it started intermittently stumbling, dying at idle, and the CEL came on. It feels a great deal to me like what I have experienced with air bypass valves and EGR valves when they stick. I would drive it for a bit, the stumbling would stop, and the CEL would go on. It came on this morning while I was getting ready to head home from a trip from out of town and has run kinda crappy ever since. On the way home I stopped and had he codes pulled, one of which was 101 and the other 108, problems with the MAF and MAP. I bought some cleaner for the MAF, pulled it off, and brought it inside. I haven't cleaned it yet, as it looks pretty clean already. I replaced the MAP sensor when I did the intake manifuld too. Just thought I'd bounce this off of you guys and see what you think. Thanks Jim

When I first heard that the third series of Professor Brian Cox's "Wonders" series would be titled Wonder of Life, I found myself conflicted. Naturally I was excited at the prospect of a new series, Wonders of the Solar System and Wonders of The Universe have been some of the best documentaries I have ever seen.
However there was something that troubled me. Cox is a physicist; not a biologist, zoologist, botanist or anything of the sort, a physicist. What qualifies him to teach me about life?
It turns out that Wonders of Life is a rather different style of nature documentary to the ones we're used to. Rather than showing us the behaviour of plants, animals and other living organisms, the show seeks to teach us the physics that govern life. The introduction to the show's accompanying book explains this rather well. In it, Cox explains that as an undergraduate he read What is Life? an account of a series of lectures given by Erwin Schrödinger (he of the cats in boxes) at Trinity College Dublin in 1943 and published in 1944. In the book, Schrödinger asks one simple question,
How can the events in space and time which take place within the spatial boundary of a living organism be accounted for by physics and chemistry?
OK so perhaps not the simplest question, actually it's a very hard one, but so elegantly written as to form the basis for the entire Wonders of Life series and book. Continue Reading "Professor Brian Cox on the Wonders of Life" »

House Parties
Original post made by Harry G, Another Pleasanton neighborhood, on Jul 10, 2007
There was alcohol on the premises, and my belief is that even if there wasn't an assault at the property, the police would have been called since the party was loud and unusual for this house.
According to the police, there are similar incidents in other local neighborhoods where teens were told of a party through MySpace postings. With a mixture of alcohol and teens, properties are damaged, and police were called.
What can be done to prevent further damage and assaults? The teen in our neighborhood was perhaps one blow away from death. Will it take a murder or manslaughter charge against another Pleasanton teen for everyone to wake up to these events? What can parents and neighbors do?

Is this another example of the behavior of citizens in a Community of Character?

What can be done to prevent further damage and assaults? The teen in our neighborhood was perhaps one blow away from death. Will it take a murder or manslaughter charge against another Pleasanton teen for everyone to wake up to these events? What can parents and neighbors do?
All good questions, here are a few suggestions I have:
For one, Parents need to not go out of town and leave their teens alone to do whatever they please. What ever happened to having a family member or relative being in charge of checking up on the teens to make sure they aren't misbehaving or even notifying a trustworthy neighbor to keep an eye on things while they're away and to call the police if anything suspicious is going on.
Next thing is, the parents should be held accountable for whatever happens in their home even while they are away, underage drinking, illegal drugs, assaults, damages, etc. Ultimately it is the parent's responsibility to make this kind of thing doesn't happen in the first place.
Another thing is, make sure you know where your teen is at at all times and check in with them often to see what they're up to and who they're hanging around with. Don't allow them to be out after the 10 pm curfew and punish them by grounding them if they do break the rules.
Teach your children about the dangers of violence which is so pervasive in today's society and how to be safe in their own homes.
Calling 911 is the first thing a person should do if they feel unsafe or that violence may occur.

Don't broadcast parties publicly especially the teen involved on his myspace.com posting. It calls for unwanted visitors to crash the party. As soon as uninvited guests arrives and refused to leave the property, someone should of immediately called police. Unfortunately, teens wait around for fights. Not a surprise here.
Parents these days are so relax on discipline, no wonder their kids are out of control. The parents should be accountable for leaving their son behind without supervision. Be more involve in your children's social life. Parents need to wake up on underage drinking. It's around, and they were kids once.
a resident of Del Prado

I was unaware that this opportunity was available. I hope that it is widely used and read.
I am the mother of Joel Davis who was killed on Foothill Rd June 17 2005. My son was not drinking nor were 2 others in the car. One passenger was drinking. The situation got out of control and the car hit a tree where my son was sitting. Where is alcohol available for 16 and 17 year old youths I asked myelf? Well this particular alcohol came from some phone# that set a place to meet with the "booze wagon?" (Name made-up by me) It is unclear to me if my son was in the car for the pick-up or not. One from the group says he was, one says he was not the other can't remember much. The kids met the "wagon" at McDonalds by Stanley. They took the alcohol back to the party that was at Oak Tree Farm's. Was this an "accepted place for the kids to drink?" I have met the hostess and what I know of them, it was not an accepted practice to have alcohol served to minors in this home. (This brings up a side topic where there are parents who allow minors to consume alcohol while they are at home smiling and "keeping the kids safe". This merely condones the behavior. This was the story of the place my son and his girlfriend went to after their Jr. Prom for a little while.) That the car now transporting the booze, brought it back to the house may or may not have been common knowledge. Never the less, some of it got cracked open and was being consummed. I want it to be known that I have made amends with the kids that were in the car with my son, and we have a relationship of friendship. The driver was not drinking. The group was trying to "deal responsibly" with the one consuming the alcohol by finding a safe place to leave them off. They missed the turn and the night got out of control in moments and next thing they knew they had hit the tree, their friend had received a death blow and there were open booze bottles in the car. They were disposed of the police were called, all of the emergency people available were dispatched. Firetrucks, police, sheriff, ambulances, and finally the coroner. I have 100's of questions but I can't ask my son what happened. If he could tell what happened what would he say? The living speak on behalf of the dead. Who will confess the problem that exists out there where parents are not allowed in to help?
In a conversation I had with my son shortly before this tragic night he looked me in the eyes and said with all sencerity, "mom, you don't know, everyone is doing it" "their is a party every night somewhere that I could be at" I responded to him with senserity, looking him in the eyes, with tears streaming down my cheeks, "thank you! for everytime you choose not to join in the drinking". "Who, Joel will reach out to these poor lost kids who don't have enough purpose in their lives to save themselves from getting drunk over and over?" "You know the way." The funeral had at least 1000 people in attendance and for awhile kids thought about their actions. I fear the warning has faded away again.
It is a big problelm that will continue to grow until parents quit giving permission by excusing it and thinking they have given their 4.0 student everything they could ever want...the kids need guidence for moral character building, they need purpose in life, something to live for and look forward to. The legal system needs to create consequences for under age drinking and drug use. At this time classes are prescribed and communitee service is requied only after the minor has displayed pretty severe need of intervention. We have a problem...it needs to be addressed. It is not up to MADD to teach kids to have a designated driver if and when they drink. There are no guarantees if you have alcohol, speed, cell phones, laughing, fooling around in the car with inexperienced drivers, that you will make it home without being killed.

Where, I want to know, were the parents of the girl whose home this party was at? Were they unavoidably detained or did they knowingly leave what should be their priceless and irreplaceable child alone, unsupervised, to fend for herself? We all know that young people can be influenced by peers, by desires to be popular or to have fun. Even great teens with excellent grades can get mixed up in a bad situation.
Parents, PLEASE, wake up to your responsibilities to the precious young people you have brought into this world and BE THERE to support and care for them. That means knowing where they are and what they are doing, even if it makes you a nag or uncool. Teen drinking is NOT okay, it isn't "just kids having fun". The problem, in part, is that alcohol lowers inhibitions in people and teens are already grappling with these issues sober! 21 might seem an arbitrary cut off for drinking age, but let's face it - those extra few years can mean a lot more life experience and hopefully the raging hormones of puberty have passed.

My husband and I have not left our children unsupervised in 18 years. We understand they are our responsibility and if we have to give up a weekend away alone or take them with us, we do it, because that is what we signed up for as PARENTS. I am sick and tired of Pleasanton parents thinking that their child is special, well-behaved or whatever and would never do anything if they leave them alone. You make it harder for the RESPONSIBLE parents. Your house is like a magnet to all the teens out there looking for a party. In today's world of myspace, cell phones, IM, etc., Word gets out immediately that a house is unsupervised. It's hard for your own children to keep the party goers out. Stop putting your own social life first and make sure that your son or daughter is having a safe one!!!!

I am so disappointed in one fact, and that is the fact that most parents do not want to take responsibility for 'what is going on' by telling their kids that they will (and then actually do it) randomly read their myspace pages. I am one of those parents who do, and I have tried to talk to other parents to tell them that their kids are in serious need of more 'boundaries', and less privacy.These parents chose not to listen, and now these kids have criminal records. Guess what? It is all over myspace! Parents seem to think that it is cool to be able to 'allow' their kids to have myspace accounts, and not know what in the world they are doing on these accounts. Parents.... I challenge you to sit down with your teen TODAY, tell them that you would like to go through their myspace with them, because you love them and want to help them to become the person they should be. Guaranteed, you have NO idea what is going on in Pleasanton, and once you do, you will understand why we ALL need to monitor our kids MUCH better than we are. I thought I knew my kids...until myspace came along. Signed, A very concerned, yet aware parent.

What fun! Do I do my mat for the current color of the smaller bath or the color I will be painting it? The new one, I think. I will post my fabric later.
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
What fun! Do I do my mat for the current color of the smaller bath or the color I will be painting it? The new one, I think. I will post my fabric later.
Here are my fabrics. Not sure which three will end up in the final three.

I'd like to try too. Thanks for doing this
Would love to join you but will be at Sherwood Forest Faire all weekend. So guess I'll just have to do mine later. Sounds like so much fun!
Lynda Rae: Whichever way you go your mat is going to be great. I know you didn't ask, but I think I would go with the white and orange for sure.
Thanks, Emma! I have the least of the orange, but do want to use it. I will study the pattern more; I might just be able to put all four in!

"One who makes no mistakes -- never makes anything!" Author Unknown
What a great idea. Seems to me that as long as you used the same color for the backgound (green in the sample) you could either go random (completely scrappy) or just select certain blocks from the pattern for the other two colors. Can hardly wait to see what you choose.
Ok, may need to post on several here, to get all 6 pages with photos on here. Again if anyone wants the pattern via email, please PM me your email address and I will send it on.
Quilted Bath/Throw Rug
¼ yd of Fabric A (generous cut, need10ins by width of fabric)
¼ yd of Fabric B (generous cut, need10ins by width of fabric)
½ yd of Fabric C (generous cut, need20ins by width of fabric)
Bath sized towel
Thread for Quilting
Thread for Piecing
Anti-skid backing, may buy anti skidfabric, puff paint, or jar of anti skid
Links to sites selling such items atbottom of instructions.
Notions Needed:
Sewing machine capable of straightstitch
¼ in foot with guide (optional, butgreat for consistent seams)
Edge-joining foot (optional, but greatfor sewn on binding)
Basic sewing notions (scissors, rotarycutter, pins, cutting mat, etc.)
DO NOT let any of these instructionslimit your creativity!
Do what feels right for you, the endresult will still be stunning!
- Cut the following (I cut into 2.5instrips first then cut the lengths from there)
- Fabric A (print)
- 6 => 2½ in x 2½ in squares
- 24 => 2 in x 2½ in rectangles
- 24 => 4 in x 2½ in rectangles
- Fabric B (print)
- 6 => 2½ in x 2½ in squares
- 24 => 2 in x 2½ in rectangles
- 24 => 4 in x 2½ in rectangles
- Fabric C (solid)
- 36 => 1½ in x 2½ in rectangles
- 12 => 4½ in x 1½ in rectangles
- 3 => 2 ½ in x width of fabricstrips, for binding
- Sew the 1½ in x 2½ in rectangles ofFabric C to the square of Fabrics A + B,
- Sew the 4½ in x 1½ in rectangles ofFabric C to the resulting rectangle,
- You should now have 12 center squares,of approximately 4½ 4¼ in blocks. Six of each print fabric. Setthese aside for the time being while we piece the outer ring.
- Sew the 1½ in x 2½ in rectangles ofFabric C to the 2 in x 2½ in rectangles.
- 12 of Fabric A and
- 12 of Fabric B
- Sew the 1½ in x 2½ in rectangles ofFabric C to the 4 in x 2½ in rectangles
- 12 of Fabric A and
- 12 of Fabric B
****Pay special attention here:
Press Fabric A/C block towards FabricC,
Press Fabric B/C block towards FabricB,
****This will allow for nestingthe seams when piecing the blocks together,
- Sew resulting rectangles to theremaining 2 in x 2½ in rectangles.
- Sew resulting rectangles to theremaining 4 in x 2½ in rectangles
- Now, you can lay out the blocks and seehow nice it is looking.
- Now you want to start putting thesepieces together.
- Begin with the short sides, press inwhat ever direction makes you happy, these seams do not matter thatmuch
- Now add the longer strips, and youshould end up with 6 blocks of one pattern and 6 blocks of the other.
- Now lay out the blocks in alternatingrows, so that you have 3 rows of 4 blocks.
- Begin sewing the blocks together inrows, any way that works for you is fine. Just make sure you line upthe solid pieces (where you hopefully ironed so that they nest well)
****Hint here: If you turn ½ theblocks (say the ones surrounded by fabric A, so that the short sidesare on the side, and the fabric B blocks are long pieces on the side,it will make stitching the seams easier on you.
- Now sew the rows together to form thetop, be sure to line up the solid pieces as best you can.
- Great, what a beautiful top so far! Time to get the backing on. Get 1 bath towel and lay down flat, layfinished quilt top on towel. Baste in your preferred method. DO NOTtrim the towel until ready to bind, unless you like having all thoseterry cloth bits floating around.
HINT: I used pins to baste the towelbut it was too 'loose', I would recommend using a spray basting forkeeping the pieces together.
- Now we quilt! Please select the methodthat works best for you. I was going to strongly encourage people todrop their feed dogs and just enjoy the process, tis a bath mat afterall. However, after attempting this myself, I found it is NOT as easyas it appears. The towel does not slide very well under the needle,not sure if it was the towel or the lack of adequate basting. So inthis instance, I recommend doing what feels comfy for you, be itstitch in the ditch, FMQ, or decorative stitches. Also will note, Itend to FMQ at full throttle and this didnt allow me to do that, itmight be easier to FMQ if you move at a little slower pace that wideopen.
- Square up/Trim rug now cutting off theexcess towel.
- Now it is time to bind! Almostfinished here! Now with me, I hate hand work with a passion, so amalways looking for a method to do all machine sewn binding. Here ismy method, but please feel free to use whatever method works best foryou.
- I first sew all 2½ strips to eachother to make one very long binding strip.
- I iron strip in half (longways)
- I sew the strip on the back of the rug,using the ¼ in foot with a guide
- I iron the back side of the binding, ithelps with folding over.
- I change my presser foot to theedge-joining foot, setting the guide of the foot along the Insideof the binding
Optional Steps:
- If you are using the non-skid fabric,you will want to attach it AFTER quilting but BEFORE binding thequilt, just lay it on back and bind.
- If you are using the puff-paint method,apply after you have finished. There are loads of tips on how to dothis via the internet, just do a google search.
- If you are using the non-skid tubapplication, be aware that it has been known to discolor vinylfloorings.
- You may get a bit more of the solidfabric and add a 1in sashing around all blocks (just cut it 1½inches wide to account for seams) This actually looks interesting,but will make the finished product a little bigger. Here is a photoof what it 'could' look like, I laid down the strips (not sewn) forvisual reference.
- Remember this is supposed to be fun!Don't let instructions stop your creativity from leading you.
Great info on puff-paint http://www.ehow.com/info_8391246_puffy-paint.html
Ok, I have tried loading photos, looks like a mess of sorting my folders in photobucket....and just cant get it sorted tonight, if you ladies dont mind I will address it tomorrow the instructions are up, and most who have emailed me have received their pdf copy. If you have not received your copy, please PM and let me know and i will get it to you tomorrow. Cant wait to play
I need a Retreat! Doing a mat for my Grand Puppy. Hope it will not be to difficult to use a heaver fabric. I have a fair amount of flannel's that I need to use up. Here are my colors.

ROX Handle Bar Pivoting Risers for 7/8" (22mm) Handle Bars
2" Rise x 7/8" Stem Clamp x 7/8" Handlebar.
The combination of off-road and on-road riding skills demand that your handlebars are at the proper level and position. Rox Risers are the premier handlebar riser for Adventure Motorcycling, on road and off. Its pivot puts your bars at your preferred position relieving wrist, elbow and shoulder stress. As you relieve these stresses, and increase control of your motorcycle you can spend longer times on you bike and enjoy the time more.
Rox Risers are ...
* Adjustable
Dual rotation points makes Rox Riser selectively adjustable forward and back, allowing you to fit your handlebars to your preferred riding position. Rox Risers allow you to raise your stock bars or use a motocross style bar.
* Universal
With its two piece design, Rox Riser will install on virtually any motorcycle that has clamps to hold the handlebars, making it incredibly universal.
* Engineered and tested for maximum strength and durability.
* CNC machined from billet 6061 T6 aluminum
* Rox 1 1/8" clamping riser doubles as your conversion kit for using larger style bars on your motorcycle with the bonus of getting the ability to adjust your bars forward and back as well as raise them up to the proper height.
* Patent # US 6,920,806 BZ
* Caution: First determine if you have adequate cable length before installing handlebar risers. I had no trouble installing the ROX Risers on my R1200GSA. Just move the cables from in front of the shock stems to the back of the shock stems (takes about 15 minutes).
* Amount of extra cable length varies based on make and model
* It is recommended that you consult your local dealer
* Important: After installation check for any binding or pinching of the control cables (throttle cable, brake hose/cable) etc. When you are sure nothing is binding, start machine in neutral, slowly turn handlebar from left to right, if the engine idle speed increases STOP TURNING HANDLEBARS, TURN OFF ENGINE, YOUR THROTTLE CABLE IS BINDING. Check throttle routing and length. You may have to adjust position of controls, or purchase extended cables.
* Caution: Neither Adventure Designs, LLC or Rox Speed FX are responsible for injury or death resulting from installation of this product. Thoroughly read and follow instructions.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|This was intended to help and guide you. Not overwhelm or keep you from learning. Please understand that, we hope you'll come back to keep learning.
Yeah, sure. There are at least 3-5 types of micro Rasboras that would only hunt the occasional shrimplets.
I also like Least Killifish. I keep them in my 18" journal. They're very neat.
I have a question, in a 6 gallon tank with shrimp (and i like babies) can i put ANY fish in there? it's heavily planted and the shrimp are happy (yes, cycled) i was looking at chili rasbora (thus asking here) and you mentioned some fish would be okay in a small tank.
if not i'll just stick to shrimp
|MABJ has it right. Unfortunately, keeping fish isn't as simple as throwing a fish in a bowl. The big box fish store employees rarely know what they are talking about and will sell you just about anything. Even the fish tank packaging boxes show their tanks stocked with way too many of all the wrong fish. Coming here with your questions is a great start. Listening to MAJB will make all the difference. Best of luck!
Thanks Mitch!
Really, taking it slow can be very very fun. Planning meticulously allows you to accomplish the tank of your dreams!

As for the cycle, I've personally used it but there's no guarantee.
|MABJ is giving you fantastic advice and I suggest you listen to every word of it. Try to see if you can try to find a better home for the fish in both of those three gallon tanks. Even if you think the neons in your 3 gallon are thriving, they would really be very happy in atleast a 10 gallon. So I would do research about cycling, read around the forums and upgrade your tank to try to get a fresh start.

It's really sweet of you to be helping your mom, and sharing a hobby. The fish store will usually do free water tests for you if you bring in a sample of your water.
You can try doing a 40% water change, and adding a new aquarium supplement like "Nutrafin Cycle" that helps by giving you some of that biological filtration that MABJ was referring to in the tank cycle. Then do another 20% water change every day for the next couple of days. Follow the directions on the Cycle for how much to add.
I'd also recommend returning at the very least the black tetra. The fish store may take the black tetra back in exchange for a harlequin although they may not. Schooling fish like the harlequins would prefer to be in groups, three at the very minimum although some people would say even more is better. I wouldn't do more than those 3 in your 3g.
Good luck!
Also they need to go through the cycle I mentioned.
In the past I made a similar mistake. I just lied and said my tank broke down, will you take these back?
They do. You just can't expect money back from them.
And with your tank, I'd venture to guess it isn't cycled either.
If you have money to purchase fish, the best idea is not purchase fish and purchase an API master test kit and take your time.
There is no way out of spending money.
I told you the minimum acceptable tank sizes for your fish. 20 gallons.

|There is not really a way to fix something like this...too small tank and fish that need to be in bigger schools....except to move to bigger tank and add more fish to make schools
it does make sense...but its past the amount of time for us to take them back...the stores here have certain amount of days and we have passed that...so what do i need to do to fix it and still keep them? cause we have a tank in my room and that is the same size as hers and the fish in mine are thriving...but then i have neons and guppies in mine....so i am trying to help her because right now funds are low and am hoping to help her to get us through til we get some more money coming in...
is there any way i can help her so she can keep these fish she really wants them and she wants some help so i am here trying to help her. She picked these out herself so i am hoping to help her keep the fish...growing up i have always had guppies or neons, tetras and angelfish so i have been around fish some but not alot in the last 15 years.
Now this is really gonna stink... But I want you to read it with an open mind.
Everybody here will tell you exactly what I'm going to say.
So none of the fish you've selected are appropriate for that tank.. You really need to net them and take them back to the fish store. If you don't, fish that would normally live years will only live months in your care.
So for starters, read up on the nitrogen cycle. The best I can describe it for someone new is a three step process.
Fish poop and uneaten fish food turn into something called Ammonia. Ammonia is deadly for your fish, and it happens quick.
That bloom you see in your tank is a bacterial bloom associated with ammonia.
Ammonia in quantities is eaten by Something called Nitrite. This is also toxic.
Nitrite finally gets eaten by Nitrate.
Nitrate process the waste in your tank, and keeps your fauna alive.
It takes a while and the right tools to create this cycle, but when you do, man is it worth it!!!
Your tank currently has no Nitrates. It only has ammonia. Think if you were in a room, trapped while it was burning. Eventually your lungs would be charred and you wouldn't be able to breathe. Ammonia is fire in a fish tank.
You need to take the fish back, and we can then guide you through creating a proper cycle so they don't die.
When you are ready to do fish, we can talk about which fish are appropriate for tanks around 1-5 gallons. But unfortunately they aren't any of the ones you chose.
Your emeralds need a tank of about 10 gallons and your harlequins need a tank of about 20 gallons, and they need many other fish of their own kind to be happy.
Keeping fish is a committment, as they're real, rewarding pets.
You can't keep a greyhound in a cage all it's life, it needs to run. So you get it a back yard! Same situation with your fish friends.
Does all of this make sense?

|thanks for the welcome...no i am not sure what cycling is when it comes to fish...all i know is the temp is around the 70s and it clouds up with in 24 hours of us cleaning the tank and putting the nuetralizer in it...not sure of the ph level and stuff like that havent had the money to get the kit yet... and its a 3 gallon tank, we have 2 harlequins that are copper and then we have 1 of the black/purple Rasbora and then we have a Rummy nose Tetra in there as well.. we have a big castle for them to hide in and around as well as a pink coral (plastic) for them to hide in and around as well..
Well first off welcome to the forum.
In order for us to help we need some things!
Do you know what cycling is?
Can you post your water parameters for us?
Can you post your tank size for us?
The fish you listed are schooling fish, so they won't be happy without others of their kind.
Don't listen to advice from your fish store. They don't know anything usually.

I just put mine up :) A little plastic one, but I just couldn't wait any longer! Anyone else put up their tree early?
Day After Thanksgiving!:)
After the 3rd week of Advent about a week before Christmas and leave it up until the 12th day of Christmas, Epiphany.
I put up my tree on Dec 1. It is also an small artificial tree. I put little white lights on and glass/plastic sparkling ornaments. Also with a timer so the lights go on at 4:30pm just as it is getting dark. It is in my sunroom that has glass doors to the dining room so I see it as I pass. You can see it from the road and I hope those traveling home enjoy it.
my grand nieces in 2008
When I take the kids to school in the morning there is this house on the corner that has had their little tree up. I'd say it's been up maybe 2-3 weeks.
We put ours up the day after Thanksgiving.
I have seen three houses with lights in the neighborhood, I thought it was a little early though. I don't put up a tree for just me, but I love the houses that are decorated!
Not until atleast the day after Thanksgiving :D:D:D
Definately not until after Thanksgiving. We might not put one up this year as we are raising the dog from hell. She would use it as a chew toy. It is 7 foot tall but that would not stop her. But I love her dearly.

I'll also have to be careful which ornaments I put on it!
Here in Red Neck country we leave our lights up all year long. LOL.
My sister has a gorgeous tree decorated in one of a kind hand made Victorian ornaments that is on a dolly. It gets rolled "out of the closet" each Thanksgiving. I can't blame her. I would not want to wrap all those pcs to store it.

Reviews of this property
Apartment on the fourth floor without a lift and with a single flight of stairs to the floor so very steep and high steps. Not suitable for more than 20 years.
WiFi, when there was, slowly the 90 is not suitable for young people who want to play around on social, some big and some insect mouse (it is New York)
Appartamento al quarto piano senza ascensore e con una sola rampa di scale per piano quindi molto ripida e gradini altissimi. Non adatta ai maggiori di 20 anni.
WiFi, quando c'era, con lentezza anni 90 non adatta a giovani che vogliono smanettare sui social, qualche grosso insetto e qualche topino (ma è New York)
Spacious and clean apartment. Good beds and pleasant neighborhood. Maintaining contact was also very good and Mrs. responded quickly.
Ruime en schoon appartement. Prima bedden en prettige buurt. Onderhouden van contact was ook erg goed en mevrouw reageerde snel.
Everything was fine. Cute, functionally furnished apartment, a slightly different area away from the gigantic sights.Einziger sticking point was to climb the 4 or 5 floors after 12-14 hours on the road.
Alles war prima. Nettes, funktional eingerichtetes Apartment, ein etwas anderes Viertel abseits der gigantischen sights.Einziger Knackpunkt war, nach 12-14 Stunden on the road die 4 oder 5 Stockwerke zu erklimmen.
Stay for the first time in NYC perfect.
The apartment is well located, not far from the subway (2min walk) and the atmosphere of the neighborhood is pretty good, small grocery store just down the apartment and full of little shops nearby. The apartment is well maintained, with no particular problems. Really I recommend in addition to the joy of living and friendly welcome that Halyna you with open arms.
The only minor drawbacks that have not really affected the life of comfort in the apartment:
- Water pressure in the shower very small.
- Wifi network by risky moment.
- Insulation of the room windows facing street.
We had a lovely stay. Flat was very clean and looked exactly like on the pictures. It was warm inside and relaxing, beds are big and comfortable. Usual city buzz outside, but adds to the NY atmosphere. It is top floor apartment and first walk up seems hard but in few days it becomes easy. Kitchen is with all necessary equipment to cook meal and prepare nice fresh morning coffee. Location is nice with easy access to buses and subway. Connection between Newark airport is comfortable too, took us around 60 mins in a shuttle service which we used. There are plenty of restaurants and shops around and this city never sleeps! Our host Halyna was great, very helpful and easy to communicate. She made us feel comfortable and looked after us very well, thank you.
I can truly recommend this apartment and our lovely hostess Haly, took really good care of us making sure we had the best stay. The apartment was extremely clean and fresh, equipped with everything we needed. Beds were wonderful, good space in closets, quiet - no noice from the streets or neighbors. The area is great with lots of nice shops, restaurants and great people. Having spent a lot of time in NYC over the years, I can say that this apartment & neighborhood is absolutely the best!
I stayed in Halyna's apartment with my parents (4) for Christmas.
The apartment is in a good position, we can reach three important line of the subway (Green, Yellow and Grey) and we can arrive to the best attraction of the city.
The neighborhood is very characteristic, according to me you can see the authentic new yokes. There are a lot of small shops and grocery, you can buy everything you want!
The apartment is clean and spacious enough, the kitchen is essential and very useful if you want to save same money (New York it's very expensive!!).
I recommend it to whoever wants to experience the real New York, from an unusual point of view.
Appartement dans ancien immeuble, mais bien situé avec environnement plutôt calme pour New York.
Bien adapté pour 4 personnes , 2 eme lit un peu moins large que le 1er, Halyna propose un matelas supplément au cas ou pas assez large.
Un petit détail sans grande importance : la cafetiere vraiment mini pour 4 personnes.
Apartamento muy bueno con camas muy cómodas e ideal pa bajar las hamburguesas neoyorquinas ya que es un cuarto sin ascensor
el lugar resulto tal cual se vio en las imágenes de la pagina de internet. Muy cómodo y aseado. Cuarto piso por escalera hay que ponerle voluntad y organización. Lugar tranquilo agradable y a mano en todas las direcciones de paseo.
Tuvimos algún inconveniente con wifi que a mitad de estancia fue solucionado de manera correcta.
Muy contentos, para recomendar. La anfitriona siempre muy agradable y atenta con los huéspedes.

Some elected officials are up in arms after learning their task to explore alternatives to a $143 million plan to rework the Larkspur-Corte Madera stretch of Highway 101 has been cut short by nearly two months.
Monday is the final get together of the working group that has been meeting since March to identify a design for the freeway that will be more acceptable to the public than the plan formulated by the Transportation Authority of Marin and Caltrans. Working group members were under the impression they had two more meetings after Monday to craft a proposal for the authority.
Working group member and San Rafael Mayor Gary Phillips said it doesn't make sense to cancel the meetings when the group has yet to make any real progress. He said the group isn't made up of traffic engineers, so he's not surprised they haven't been able to devise a new plan yet.
"We're not even close to something that makes sense," Phillips said.
Working group member and Corte Madera Mayor Diane Furst said the authority has until Sept. 30 to propose to the Metropolitan Transportation Commission how it wants to spend the available $143 million slated for the project.
"I find it very curious that the chair, Alice Fredericks, decided unilaterally to cancel the next two meetings when we have two more months in which we could further refine our recommendation to the TAM board," Furst said.
The agenda materials for the authority's Thursday meeting state the working group's recommendations will be presented to the authority in September.
Fredericks, a Tiburon city councilwoman and chairwoman of the Transportation Authority of Marin, offered to convene the working group in February, after multiple public meetings revealed people were hotly opposed to the elevated and concrete-heavy freeway plan. During its first meeting, the majority of the group decided Fredericks should be a non-voting chair, perceiving her position on the authority board as a potential conflict.
Fredericks said she opted to return to the working group's original meeting schedule without the last two meetings because the group has run out of money to continue facilitated sessions.
"We were just running out of money and running out of time," Fredericks said. "We just need to do the best we can now to make a recommendation."
The working group has spent $248,000 delving into past highway plans and evaluating ones put forth by the public. Some of the money was spent before the working group got started, with authority consultants reviewing public comments on the proposed project's draft environmental document.
Since she convened the group, Fredericks said she felt she had the ability to alter the schedule — but the majority of the working group's members disagree. Fredericks said the staff needs time to gather comments from community government leaders on any proposals the group puts forward before it goes to the authority for consideration.
"They're, after all, the decision-making body," Fredericks said about the authority.
Working group member and Larkspur Mayor Dan Hillmer said he was surprised to hear Monday was the last meeting.
"I think Alice needs to explain why she's shifting course without anything other than just announcing it," Hillmer said. "It doesn't sound like it's coming from her."
San Anselmo Councilman Tom McInerney said he's less concerned about the last two meetings being slashed than some of the other members, stating he hopes the group can put aside its differences to come up with a recommendation that will improve traffic congestion for Ross Valley.
"I think there's been a bit too much of finger pointing, with past history and things that occurred previously and some suspicion directed at staff and others," McInerney said. "I hope we can try to forge some sort of consensus on the northbound lanes with some bicycle and pedestrian improvements."
Some community members and government officials became suspicious of the proposed project's intent after Furst pointed out during a February public meeting that the project's traffic collision data contained inaccurate information, including erroneous accidents from San Francisco.
Hillmer said he has yet to see any real consensus from the group form around freeway improvements. He and Phillips plan to request the group consider asking the authority, and ultimately the Metropolitan Transportation Commission, to spend the funding on other projects, such as extending the Sonoma-Marin Area Rail Transit from San Rafael to Larkspur and widening east Sir Francis Drake Boulevard.
He said he's concerned the money will be allocated elsewhere if the county doesn't come up with a new freeway plan or alternate projects.
"Unless there's an enthusiastic consensus at the TAM board, that money may leave Marin. I don't want to see that money leave," Hillmer said.
Working group member and Marin County Supervisor Katie Rice said she too is worried about losing funding. She said Fredericks likely canceled the last two meetings because she's looking for the group to make some actual, concrete decisions.
"I'd hope if we're able to start discussing recommendations, that she would consider continuing the working group, but I'm also empathetic to her desire to make sure we're being constructive with the time," Rice said. "I do think we need to have our feet held to the fire and have an honest conversation about what we do and don't support."

Look at the big picture, she has made a smart choice; as a commoner selecting her cues in design from Grace Kelly she is smart positioning herself into their realm. Graceful and elegant the "firm" can't complain, she's ready and perfect to take them to the next level. Diana would be proud; pleased to see the Queen "shun Camilla". Appropriate PR for the day.
Posted at 11:28 PM on April 30, 2011
The Queen was very cordial to Camilla. In fact, it is obvoius that they all like Camilla very much and she is a genuinely nice person. She did not cause the problems between Charles and Di, she was just a byproduct of the big fall out. Diana, so obsessed with self and appearances and no common interests between Charles and Diana. Diana was a master at playing the crowds and the press. The boys are great and they have been sunstantially raised bu their father and Camilla.
Posted at 1:59 PM on May 1, 2011
Also, I dare you to say that if someone came along and slept with YOUR husband, that it was your own fault the marriage ended and the mistress had nothing to do with it. Just because Princess Diana was a media darling, does not mean the dissolution of the marriage was her fault. She was a shy little doe when she married Charles and he treated her like dirt, going so far as to inform her that he would not be the first Prince of Wales to not have a mistress.
Harry and William were teenagers when their mother died and their upbringing is largely the result of the wonderful mothering Diana did. Do not be so cruel as to attempt to take that away from her by claiming Camilla raised them. I doubt that her sons would thank you for it.
Camilla is a home-wrecker. She should have stayed away from a married man. And Charles is just as bad. They both behaved shamefully. If Charles loved Camilla so much he should've given up the throne like Prince Edward did for his love, Wallis Simpson. Clearly, he loved his title more than he did his new wife.
Finally, it's NOT obvious to most people that anyone likes Camilla or that she is a genuinely nice person. She very well could be, but neither you nor I know her, so neither of us can say.

I hope this will send a message to all those thousands of dumb girls who have their strapless gowns with their breasts hanging out -thinking that they look elegant… NOT. A Wedding is not a Cocktail party, you have plenty of time to wear strapless numbers throughout your life, a wedding is sacred and should be honored that way.
