Quilt Snips Mini Tutorial – Surprise Half Hexi
Tutorial Reboot: The Sunny Skies Quilt Featuring Guest Blogger Megan Pitz
Hello, Friends! I'm Megan Pitz from Canoe Ridge Creations and I am so thrilled to be guest blogging over here on the Missouri Star Quilt Company blog today. For me quilting has always been a family tradition — taught by my mother and grandmother, I made my first quilt when I was 12 as a 4-H project. One quilt lead to another, and another, and another (with a few Works In Progress mixed in between) and now fifteen years later it's become a part of my everyday. I started Canoe Ridge Creations less than five years ago, first as a blog journalling my finishes for family & friends, and it now includes several mini quilting clubs, a pattern line, and my works in several books & magazine publications. Being able to share my passion for quilting & pass it along to others is the best!
Today I'm sharing my version of the MSQC Sunny Skies tutorial & quilt. I love how this pattern is made with two relatively simple components — a 16-patch & chevron block — but when arranged the right way, it gives a more complex design. Fresh, modern, and so fun! Jenny's video tutorials are always fabulously easy to follow. I love how you can pause & start the videos as you please. It felt like Jenny was just another sewing friend hanging out in my studio, I love it!
Here, you can watch the free tutorial!
The original version includes two borders, but I'm personally not one to use borders in my quilts. So instead I opted to skip the borders and make my quilt a little larger & square.
For my quilt I used one jelly roll of Corey Yoder's Prairie from Moda, 2 3/4 yards accent fabric (Peacock Bella Solids), and 2 yards background fabric (White Bleached Bella Solid). With just a bit more fabric than the original pattern calls for, I was able to use almost the entire jelly roll and finish with a 64″ x 64″ quilt — perfect throw size!
The Sunny Skies chevron blocks are constructed by placing a background rectangle and accent fabric square together, sewing on the diagonal, trimming the excess corner and pressing. I decided to stitch & trim these "bonus triangles" to 3″ finished (3 1/2″ unfinished) Half Square Triangles and then them into a coordinating baby quilt. You can read more about it right here. That means you can essentially get TWO QUILTS out of one by using this tutorial — double bonus!
Thanks so much to the MSQC crew for letting me share my project with you all today — it's been so much fun!

Points of Pride
The Ysleta Community Learning Center (YCLC) celebrates serving the adult learner community for twenty years! Nestled in the heart of the Mission Valley area, the Ysleta Independent School District gem has been offering English as a Second Language, Citizenship, and General Education Development (GED) classes since it first opened its doors in the basement of a baptist church across the street from Ysleta High School. Although the campus still offers its staple classes, what many many not know is how much YCLC has changed in recent years.
From TEA to TWC
In 2013, President Obama signed House Bill 307 into law changing the governance of adult education from the Texas Education Agency (TEA) to the Texas Workforce Commission (TWC). This new law, called the Workforce Investment Opportunity Act (WIOA), has expanded the type of services offered under adult education. The focus has shifted from providing only English and high school equivalency preparation classes to focusing on courses that address basic skills development and simultaneously also prepare adults for entry into post-secondary education, vocational training, and employment. This change has prompted the creation of specialized courses such as GED to College, where students not only prepare for the high school equivalency exam but develop the college academic readiness skills necessary to be successful as a first-year college student.
The Ysleta Community Learning Center serves an average of 1100 students per year and has earned several state distinctions since 2003. The Department of Education along with OCTAE (Office of Career, Technical, and Adult Education) set the performance targets to be met by adult education literacy providers each year. All adult learners must show a gain on the state assessment within 40-60 hours of instruction and enter post-secondary, vocational training, retain employment, or obtain employment within two years of completing the program. Since 2014, YCLC has had the highest number of students that earn the high school equivalency diploma in the region! Furthermore, many of the students studying English as a Second Language transition to El Paso Community College with a high percentage scoring in the upper two levels on the Texas Success Initiative Assessment (TSIA), a college-entry evaluation to determine college academic readiness.
Bottom Line
The Ysleta Community Learning Center prides itself in offering quality instruction aligned to the goals of the students. All students are prepared with the four pillars of readiness skills: academic readiness, personal readiness, college and career readiness, and language readiness.
- Academic Readiness - the preparation of foundational skills in the core areas, such as math, reading, writing, and technology necessary for college-credit courses;
- Personal Readiness - the development of time management, self-efficacy, study skills, problem solving, communication, stress management, and support systems to aid in navigating life's challenges;
- College and Career Readiness - the integration of one's goals with interest surveys leading to research into specific career pathways that are in local high-demand industries, culminating research findings into a project outlining the educational requirements, financial services and costs, length of program, educational institutions available in the area, credential outcome, and salary expected; and
- Language Readiness - the expansion of academic and technical language necessary for the 21st century learner.

WHITEMARSH >> The season was over.
But as the Plymouth Whitemarsh girls volleyball team surveyed the damage, there was nothing to do but smile.
Sure, the Colonials had just lost in four sets to eventual state finalist Parkland in the state quarterfinal match at Exeter High School. But there was no bickering, no finger-pointing, not even a mild cross word.
PW had arrived, as a state contender, enjoying the best volleyball season in the history of the school.
And in the middle of it all, Olivia Carbo had a smile wider than most.
Was she the best player on her team?
That was debatable, as these Colonials were so dependent on each other, a fire-breathing dragon with multiple heads, one just as formidable as the other, a true team.
They had come so far and had done so playing, smiling and even crying together.
So when Carbo was anointed with the title of athlete of the year, she was not quick to take solo bows.
"We were so tight, so much like sisters and we had come so far together," Carbo said. "It was such a great year.
"The only thing we were sad about was that the fun we had for all these years together was over."
Carbo was named one of the team's captains at the beginning of the season by Colonials head coach Seely Byer, and it was a title she did not take lightly.
"When I was named captain I felt I had to be there for all of my teammates, my friends I had grown up with as well as the young players I didn't know as well," she said. "I wanted to be there for all of them."
And so she was.
And when it came time for Byer to choose her best player, she acknowledged that Carbo was not one of the team's glamour attackers with the triple-figure kills and points.
She was, in fact, the ultimate team player, who led the team in digs, was second in assists, the helper who got her hands dirty while others were handed the accolades.
In typical fashion, Carbo gave the stock answers about team chemistry, about how the team had lost only two seniors from the 2015 team.
But Byer knew that Carbo was the glue that helped hold the team together.
"That's one of the things that fans notice, the kills, the points, the big numbers," Byer said. "They don't always notice the dig, the assist that set it up."
"Danielle (Rippert) was our leader in kills and points and all of that, and she is a great player," Byer said. "But Olivia was the one of those who got the digs, the assists, who enabled Danielle to put up those numbers."
As for Rippert, Carbo said the two are thick as thieves, having played together since sixth grade.
"Whenever I set something up, Danielle was the first to come over and let me know," Carbo said. "We're the best of friends, we had such great chemistry together."
And while Carbo said she'll never stop playing volleyball; her immediate future does not include playing the sport collegiately.
Her future focus, she said, is in academics, in the mathematics or science field. And the list of colleges, which includes Maryland, Indiana, Miami, Wisconsin and Penn State, she is considering would not necessarily be beating down her door to play.
So while her playing days as part of an organized team are likely over, Carbo said she has enough memories from the Colonials' amazing run this year to last a while.
"I enjoyed every minute of it," Carbo said.

Debanks Early Origins
Cheshire where they held a family seat. Much conjecture has arisen about the origin of this name. Early records are scanty. Some have attributed the name to be Huguenot. "This was a common Huguenot name in he 17th and 18th centuries. The earliest known bearers in England are three people called Thomas Debanck of Hartshorne, Derbyshire, (father, son and grandson, from 1611); Nathaniel Debanke of Martock, Somerset (1655); and Joseph Debanke, a weaver in London (1656). " [1]CITATION[CLOSE]
Hanks, Patricia and Flavia Hodges, A Dictionary of Surnames. Oxford: Oxford University Press, 1988. Print. (ISBN 0-19-211592-8) In this case, the name was perhaps a topographic name (with the preposition de) from the French word "banc" meaning bench, bank. However, in the Wirral in Cheshire we find the name commonly used for a resident by the banks of the River Dee. The name Dee or Du, meaning black, is Welsh and both names proliferate throughout Shropshire and Herefordshire.

Idiot! Bastard! Fool! Storm Shadow mentally yelled insults at Snake-Eyes, half of which didn't make much sense. His blood boiled and his body felt so hot with fury he no longer acknowledged the icy ocean water. That son of a bitch, always trying to play hero, always trying to save someone, and it was about to cost him his life.
Somewhere behind him, Scarlett frantically called out Snake-Eyes' real name, but it didn't register in Storm's mind. Just ahead of him, the scared and exhausted greenshirts were practically attacking Snake, all their thought processes reduced to trying to use him as leverage so they could keep their heads above water. Their actions and his mask were preventing him from taking a proper breath, and if he couldn't get to the surface, neither could the unconscious man in his arms.
He was being drowned by the very people he was trying to save.
Pure, blind fury engulfed Storm Shadow, and he dove. He swam under the group and, with a powerful thrust of his leg, kicked a clinging greenshirt away from his brother. Snake inhaled deeply, his throat gurgling with seawater as he struggled to get the man to keep breathing.
"Let GO!" Storm growled, prying the greenie from Snake's hold. For a moment, it looked like his brother wasn't going to comply, but Snake's grip loosened when he coughed, allowing Storm to pull the greenie away.
"Snake-Eyes!" Scarlett gasped as she swam over to him. "Snake! Take your mask off!"
Stubbornly, Snake shook his head even as he spasmed in a coughing fit.
"Goddammit, Hebi no Me!" Storm Shadow snarled. "Now is not the time to be worried if you look your best or not! At least roll your mask up!"
A greenie tried to cling to Scarlett instead of one of the ninjas, but the redhead kept him away. "On your back! ON YOUR BACK!" she ordered. When the greenie struggled to obey, Scarlett helpfully turned him on his back. "Good. Stay there and catch your breath. I'll be right back."
Thankfully, the man stayed where he was while Scarlett swam over to the still-panicking remaining two greenies.
... Two? Storm had one, Snake was still trying to cough out water, and there was only one man floating on his back. There were supposed to be three greenshirts remaining.
She took a deep breath and released it in an effort to calm herself. After refilling her lungs, she dove down, scanning the depths for a humanoid figure. No, no, no, please, no. Don't let it be too late. Please, please.
A hand wrapped around her ankle, almost making Scarlett inhale water. Whirling around, she found herself face-to-face with Cover Girl, who pointed to the surface repeatedly before swimming up. Scarlett followed.
"Have you seen the missing greenie?" Scarlett gasped, wiping her face.
"You mean that missing greenie?" Cover Girl nodded towards Beach Head, who was swimming parallel to the shore with an unconscious greenshirt in tow. He was followed by Storm, who was struggling to drag both Snake and his greenshirt.
Scarlett did a headcount. "Yes. That one." A pause. "Since when did you and Beach get here?"
"We rode the rip current out here. Thought you guys might need some help."
"Well, thanks." She smiled at the former model as they both swam towards the three remaining greenies, all floating on their backs. Their chests still heaved with labored breaths, but they appeared a lot calmer.
"Good job, Steve." Reaching out, Scarlett patted the man on the shoulder. He was the greenie she had forced onto his back. "See what happens when you calm down? Your mind clears and you're able to help others."
"Thank you... ma'am..." he gasped. "What the... hell was that? We couldn't... we couldn't..."
"You were caught in a rip current," Cover Girl explained matter-of-factly. "Didn't you hear Beach?"
Steve shook his head slightly. "No, ma'am. Couldn't hear anything but splashing." He paused. "Damn. A rip current."
"A large column of water heading seaward," Scarlett offered helpfully as she swam around, checking on the other greenies. "It occurs when water gets trapped on the beach and has nowhere to go."
"A fucking rip current."
"Yes." Scarlett turned to another greenie. He was wincing, and one hand was resting on his stomach. "You alright, Tristan?"
"Just fine, ma'am," he replied, his voice tight. "I'll live... I hope."
"What happened?"
He carefully prodded his abdomen with his fingers. "It... it was my fault, sergeant."
"What happened?" she demanded again. "Are you hurt?"
"No, ma'am. Not injured." The greenie swallowed. His breathing had evened out, and regret was written all over his face. "I... he... Storm Shadow drop-kicked me underwater."
Scarlett blinked. "Really... why did he do that?"
This time, Tristan rolled over and began slowly swimming back to shore, his progress evidence that the rip current was no longer there. Eyes narrowed, Scarlett easily caught up with him. "Hassett, I demand an answer." She yanked hard on his shoulder, forcing him to stop and face her.
He ducked his head, not looking at her. "You'll hate me, sergeant," he choked.
"Why? What did you do?" Scarlett demanded.
The greenie swallowed hard. "I... I pushed Sergeant Snake-Eyes underwater." As Scarlett's eyes widened, he quickly added. "I'm so sorry! I wasn't thinking! I was so scared, and I c-couldn't keep my head above water then I saw him and didn't think-"
"It wasn't your fault," she interrupted, cutting him off. "So you panicked and pushed Snake underwater. Then what?"
"Th-then Storm kicked me off of him. I... I'm sorry, ma'am. I should've known better."
Scarlett tucked her wet hair behind her ear. "I'm not the one you should apologize to, Hassett. You know that."
Tristan bit his bottom lip. "I do, ma'am. I'll apologize to Sergeant Snake-Eyes as soon as we get back to shore."
Smiling, Scarlett nodded. "I'm sure he'll forgive you."
"But will Storm Shadow?"
The greenie looked positively pale. "I tried to drown his brother. I think he has a vendetta against me now."
Scarlett made a dismissive noise. "I don't think so. If he held a vendetta against every single person who's hurt Snake, Cobra wouldn't be active today."
It took a while for the three greenies to regain their strength, but as soon as they did, the group began swimming back to the beach. Both Cover Girl and Scarlett noticed that the closer they got to shore, the more and more reluctant the greenies looked. "Oh," Cover Girl murmured as she nudged Scarlett and pointed towards the sand. Beach Head was looking royally pissed-off and Storm Shadow was pacing restlessly, a murderous glint in his eyes.
Of course. No one with even a smidgen of common sense would approach those two at the moment.
"Go see to Snake. I'll make sure we don't have roasted greenies for dinner tonight." Cover Girl gave Scarlett a pat on the shoulder before walking out of the water in Beach Head's direction.
Scarlett broke into a jog as soon as her feet found firm footing. Storm Shadow had stopped pacing and was standing next to Snake as Lifeline examined him. Snake's mask and t-shirt were on the ground and covered in sand, but Scarlett took no notice of them.
Snake was bundled up in a large white towel - Storm Shadow's, she guessed - and had a smaller, lighter towel - one that Lifeline insisted on bringing in case of 'emergencies' - completely covering his head. "How is he?"
At the sound of Scarlett's voice, Snake-Eyes straightened up a little and turned his face in her direction. "Yes, Snake - it's me." She sat down next to him. "You alright? How do you feel?"
Snake's left hand appeared from the towel. [Fine. A little dazed, but fine.]
"His body temperature, heart-rate, and breathing are normal." Lifeline stood up. "As rare as it is for Snake and I to agree on his physical condition, yes, he's fine."
Scarlett looked up at him. "How are the two greenies who came back first?"
Lifeline sighed. "They will also be fine." He nodded towards two forms in the sand. Scarlett almost had a heart attack until she noticed that their chests were rising up and down. They were breathing and fast asleep, bundled warmly in towels and thermal blankets. "What took you and Cover Girl so long in getting the rest of the greenies back?"
"They weren't in any danger of drowning or hypothermia. I had Steve float on his back while I made sure everybody was accounted for. Once I got back, he had two others floating with him. As soon as they regained some energy, we swam back. Cover Girl and I made sure none of them passed out or froze to death."
Lifeline nodded approvingly. "I'll go have a look at them. Nicely done, Scarlett, although I disapprove of running out to save someone without a flotation device of some sort."
Scarlett shrugged. "It was a spur-of-moment thing."
"A stupid spur-of-moment thing."
"Sergeant Snake-Eyes?"
Three sets of eyes and one pair of ears settled on the approaching greenshirt. Lifeline immediately moved towards him. "Hassett, you need to get dry and get warm immediately."
The dripping wet man shook his head. "No, I need to get this out. Sergeant, I..." he cleared his throat. "I'm... sorry for almost drowning you."
"You'd better be," Storm muttered irritably. Scarlett tossed a handful of sand in his direction, with no effect.
"It was the stupidest thing I could've done at the moment, and I did it." He dug his foot into the sand. "I know it's not going to change the past, but I'm sorry. I really am."
Snake tilted his head. Scarlett could almost feel him smiling [It wasn't just you; it was every greenshirt in the water. It's an involuntary reaction associated with drowning. I forgive you.]
Tristan's jaw dropped. "Really?"
[Yes. You got kicked by my brother, did you not?]
The greenshirt's face ashened. "Yes... right..." Slowly, he turned to face Storm, who immediately frowned. "Are you going to hold a vendetta against me?" he blurted out, voice shaking.
Storm's eyebrows went up. "And why would I do that?"
"For..." Tristan stared at his feet. "For... endangering your brother's life."
The ninja stayed silent for a while, thinking, before speaking. "Yeah, I think I will."
The look on the greenie's face was priceless. His eyes bulged, his mouth hung open, and his face was white. He looked like a dying fish, opening and closing his mouth as he tried to formulate a response and got nothing more out than, "Uh... um... uh... wha..."
Storm raised his hand, effectively shutting the flabbergasted greenshirt up. "IF... you don't get back in the water as soon as you are able to, and learn how to properly escape a rip current."
A laugh escaped Scarlett before she could stop it. Lifeline looked indignant. "Storm Shadow, that is unacceptable. These men-"
"Don't know how to recognize or escape these currents and might drown should this happen again," Storm finished coolly for him. "They need to learn. So, greenie, what do you say? Ninja vendetta or swimming lesson?"
Tristan glanced back at the two men he swam back to shore with. "Swimming lesson, sir," he answered quietly.
"You don't sound very sure."
"Swimming lesson, sir!"
"Much better." Storm Shadow grinned.
Scarlett rolled her eyes.
A/N: And so this story ends. I'm surprised at how many of you thought there was going to be a shark in the water. In real life, be careful when going to the beach and watch out for rip currents. Unlike in this story, if you get caught in one, chances are you won't be rescued by shirtless ninjas and you won't get a swimming lesson from one afterwards. Don't be as stupid as the greenshirts in this story. If you do get caught it a rip current, for the love of god start swimming parallel to the shore until you get out of it.
Special Thanks to Greentigerr for co-writing, editing, AND trying on different kinds of wet masks to see what it is like to breathe through them. I'm not lying about this part. She actually did it. I have the chart she made if you don't believe me.
I might (keyword: MIGHT) write an epilogue to this. Maybe. If I feel like it. Until then, this story is considered complete.

Somebody asked:
I created a Web Service from a WSDL that came from Java (Apache SOAP). It contains the definition of Vector as complex type:
<schema targetNamespace="http://xml.apache.org/xml-soap" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
<import namespace="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/"/>
<complexType name="Vector">
<element maxOccurs="unbounded" minOccurs="0" name="item" type="xsd:anyType"/>
Then, .NET generated the following (wrong) class:
<System.Xml.Serialization.SoapTypeAttribute("Vector", "http://xml.apache.org/xml-soap")> _
Public Class Vector
Public item() As Object

This seems to be correct from my point of view! Maybe not all of you are XSD-literate, but the schema specifically says there is a complex type called Vector, which is a sequence of 1:n of xsd:anyType. .NET (correctly) translates this to an array of Object. This illustrates the danger of including platform-specific types such as Java Vector in a Web Service interface - such types are not easily translatable into and out of XML Schema without some loss of information. Instead, start with XSD Schema, and generate the interface from it. Generate the server skeleton and client-side proxy from the WSDL and XSD.
This is called "contract first", or "Schema first" design. It's a Good Thing.
But I know you all are thinking, jeez, I'd really rather use some of the more advanced classes that are available with my platform. A Java Vector or ArrayList for example. Does webservices really make me give that up?
It's fine to use those things in the implementation of your service, but since there is no well-defined mapping of those Java-specific classes to XSD (and thus, no well-defined mapping of those types to a type on a different, non-Java platform such as .NET), you will get surprises. Stick to XSD for defining the datatypes to be sent and received over a webservice interface, and you will avoid these unpleasant surprises.

Now it'll soon be arise Sir Andy as he celebrates with mum Judy and Kim at Wimbledon party
THE sensational victory by Wimbledon wonder Andy Murray is set to put him on course for a knighthood.
It would be a natural follow-up to his OBE in the New Year Honours for services to tennis.
Sailing hero Ben Ainslie and road cyclist Bradley Wiggins were both knighted following a triumphant London Olympics last year.
Murray now looks set to follow suit, especially after the Queen sent a private message of congratulations.
History. Well done Sir Andy Murray
And Duncan Bannatyne of TV's Dragons' Den tweeted: "History. Well done Sir Andy Murray."
Ladbrokes spokesman Jessica Bridge said: "He was 4/1 at the start of the tournament to become Sir Andrew but that has now been heavily backed down to even money."
He was so strongly backed to win the BBC's annual Sports Personality Of The Year Award that the bookmaker decided to pay out during the match.
Ms Bridge said: "We've already paid because it was starting to get ridiculous. No one else can possibly win it."

General health benefits
What are the general health benefits of using a Chi Exercise Machine?
Just as ordinary exercise is known to be important for keeping our bodies healthy in many ways, using a chi exercise machine regularly gives benefits to general health, and is not targeting one or two particular health conditions.
One way to understand this is to look at the difference between a health-related treatment that is holistic and one that is targeted at treating one specific condition or ailment.
Holistic treatments are designed to give the sort of support that will allow our body's natural health maintenance and healing systems to perform on a higher level. This is a different approach from pharmaceutical or surgical procedures that are designed to fix a specific problem, to suppress pain, or to somehow delay the inevitable.
There are many holistic therapies that can trigger positive changes that act to rebalance your system. Using a chi exercise machine regularly can give your body a tune-up in a similar way, though a therapist can of course use their skill and knowledge to work on particular aspects that they decide need attention.
Regular use of a chi exercise machine gives a whole body boost to your health
Regular use of a chi exercise machine will have a truly holistic effect on your body's health because the whole system is being stimulated – in contract to the more targeted approach that is used with most treatments and healthcare devices. In this sense it is your body that will decide how to use the extra boost of energy, depending on its own priorities, and no one can be sure what changes might occur, or what you might notice.
Here are some of the aspects of maintaining good health where it is generally known that regular use of a chi exercise machine could produce overall benefits:
- blood system (improved circulation - see clinical trials)
- lymph system - in particular, sufferers from lymphoedema (see clinical trials)
- the digestive system and intestines, particularly for sufferers from constipation
- autonomic nervous system – rebalancing through the stimulation of the spinal column
- release of tension in back, neck and shoulders (see Backcare Benefits)
- stimulates the immune system - relief for auto-immune system disorders such as chronic fatigue
- improved sleep (see Sleep Benefits)
- oxygen exchange at the lungs (including relief for asthma sufferers)
- oxygen exchange at cell level - for healthy cellular activity
- metabolism – reduction in body fat and weight (see clinical trials)
- 'chi' or life-force energy flow – a perceptible boost of this subtle flow of energy – for many people feeling this very pleasant sensation is very noticeable
- relief of stress symptoms – at physical, mental &/or emotional levels (see Stress Relief Benefits)
- muscle toning - triggering of cellular memory

Mountain West League Joins Plexcity
The Mountain West Credit Union Association said Monday it will purchase an ownership share of Plexcity, an Ontario, Calif.-based CUSO founded to consolidate and cut the costs of back office operations.
The Mountain West association comes on board with five other trade organization co-owners including the California and Nevada Credit Union Leagues, New Jersey Credit Union League, Maryland-D.C. Credit Union Association, Ohio Credit Union League and Hawaii Credit Union League.
Plexcity also serves NASCUS as a non-owner client.
"Plexcity's solutions will translate into higher economies of scale, eliminate redundancies, allow for speedier and more efficient operations through a cloud-based portal, and help our association direct its full attention to serving member credit unions," Mountain West President/CEO Scott Earl said.
Plexcity, which officially opened for business on Jan. 1, 2015, reduces operational costs by standardizing the leagues' back office functions of IT, accounting/finance and human resources, which are managed from the same technology platform.
Each league that joins Plexcity pays an initial share investment of $30,000. However, how much each league pays for Plexcity's ongoing operations is determined by the amount of hours and personnel it uses for IT, HR and accounting/finance needs.
"The immediate effect of decreasing their expenses contributes to our members' future stability," Plexcity CEO Tony Kitt said. "All of our owners believe we are better at driving down costs together than we are individually."
If Plexcity continues to be successful in attracting more members – something that will create more scale – Kitt said in an October 2015 CU Times interview the savings should far exceed the 10% seen in the organization's first year of operation.
Other trade organizations also have initiated collaborative projects to lower the costs of back office operations and other services.
In October 2015, the League of Southeastern Credit Unions and the New York Credit Union Association agreed to establish a jointly owned subsidiary to consolidate their back-office operations.
In addition, the subsidiary will offer services in communications, education, training and product development that are not state specific.
Both trade associations will continue to independently operate their local, state and federal advocacy programs as well as membership relationship activities.
This collaborative project is expected to take two to three years to fully implement.

"Made everything special"
About: Airedale General Hospital Airedale General Hospital Keighley BD20 6TD
Posted via NHS Choices
I had my second child by elective caesarean at AGH in Feb this year. My first delivery (at a different hospital) was very traumatic, and I had an awful experience. As such I was nervous going into this pregnancy. From the outset, this was a completely different experience. Everyone was so reassuring, and I was so well monitored and looked after. Everyone from the community midwives through to the consultant, anaesthetists, and the midwives on Ward 21 was so caring, considerate and looked after us so well. I had such a lovely, positive experience this time round, and it put to bed a lot of the bad memories of my delivery first time round. I want to say a massive thank you to everyone involved as we had a really happy experience and will hopefully be back one day for number 3!

Well, I'm back from San Diego, no worse for wear, and a little bit enlightened as to how 2012 is going to be for me. It's always great seeing my Family back home and catching up on the going ons and whatnot, but I dunno if I could ever live back there. Again. I need the Sound and Fury of Civilization. I need the Bright Lights of the Big City. I need Music - Punk Rock Music, and I need it all the time. I might not wanna move back Home right now, but I may not have a say in the matter after a bit. In the back of my head, I know I'm always heading back Home someday. We all do. It's always Beautiful there. Always.
I left the Rez at midnight on Friday. I was gonna stop by and see Surrounded By Thieves and Battle Born at some bar in San Diego, but I was tired and knew if I didn't get my ass Home that I was never gonna make it back in time to return my rental car,, and that I would get stuck paying for 2 extra days that I didn't have to, so sorry guys. The trip is usually a 6 or 7 hour drive, depending on traffic, but I made it in a little under 5 hours. How did I do that, you ask? Well, let's just say that I like to drive fast. :-)

Young women indulged in lesbian sex at Silvio Berlusconi's 'inelegant' dinners
Rome: Young women attended "inelegant" dinner parties at former Italian premier Silvio Berlusconi's luxury homes for personal gain and even had lesbian sex in the hope of stirring his desire to sleep with them, judges in Italy have ruled.
"In most cases, the women just hoped they would reap economic or other personal benefits, while some had longer-term career plans to transform their extremely modest lives," the judges in the southern Italian city of Bari said late on Wednesday.
Silvio Berlusconi. Pic/AFP
"The women hoped to come to (Berlusconi's) attention and to be chosen to spend the night with him, allowing him to satisfy his most perverse erotic impulses - even by having lesbian sex with each other."
The judges were explaining reasoning behind the prison sentences they handed in November to businessman Gianpaolo Tarantini and three others for recruiting prostitutes to attend orgies at Berlusconi's homes.
Berlusconi, 79, has always insisted the soirees, held in 2008-09, were "elegant dinners" where he sang and played the piano to the delight of his guests - claims which the trial judges rejected.
"Berlusconi was the key player at the inelegant dinners organised at his residences, where he benefitted from the constant presence of attractive, provocative, uninhibited, unscrupulous and above all extremely young women," the judges said.

Anymore, the holidays just irritate me. I've seen them through a different light and I'm not impressed.
But, there are a few moments that show what the true meaning of the holidays are all about. I see the news and see a mother who has passed on from cancer, asking 2 years later for gifts for her husband, their children, his new love and her children, and it makes me smile. Or when I hear a story of how a gift card from work provided groceries and a Christmas for their kids, that would have never happened without it. It is those moments that makes the holidays tolerable.

Revue Francaise de Photogrammetrie et de Teledetection | Year: 2012
The scientific community needs to have time series of recurrent observations, covering sites of interest to monitor the evolution of land surfaces (agronomic studies using data assimilation, shorelines survey, landslides and volcanoes monitoring, coastal mapping, etc.). The analysis of these time series requests to have overlapping images which give the reflectance of the sites (physical quantity independent of the sensor). To make such physical data available and to ensure the homogeneity of treatment for time series of images, CNES has initiated the program Kalideos. In this context, CS SI has developed and operates the image processing chains. This article presents the treatments applied to optical images in the Kalideos databases (Spot and Formosat sensors). These treatments convert Level 1A products to ortho-images, giving the reflectance measured at top of the atmosphere and the estimated one at ground level after the correction of atmospheric effects.

U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell says President Bush will keep pursuing what he calls an "aggressive" foreign policy in his second term.
Secretary Powell told London's Financial Times newspaper Monday that the president is not going to pull back principles or beliefs.
He said American voters gave Mr. Bush a mandate to continue a foreign policy that he says will be multi-lateral. But Mr. Powell said the United States would act alone where necessary.
The secretary said such aggressiveness will not only apply to Iraq and Afghanistan, but also fighting AIDS.
He said Washington is ready to seize the opportunity and join British Prime Minister Tony Blair to make Middle East peace a priority.

Good Old South Africa
Our health minister is out to ruin small pharmacies again, trying once more to institute controlled medicine pricing, even after the constitutional court ruled against her twice for trying the same crap. Last time the pharmacies that were worst hit were those in the rural areas and townships, forcing the poor people she was supposedly 'helping' to travel even further at greater expense to find medication, and forcing many many people into unemployment. I wonder what will happen this time?
The rape trial of our ex-deputy president continues, with the defence team using the standard pathetic tactics of attempting to discredit the victim rather than give any real evidence. Their story? Zuma did have sex with her, but she consented. And he didn't use a condom. And he knew she was HIV positive. Oh, and she's crazy anyway because she underwent treatment after losing her father, and had an abortion once a long time ago. Slut.
So, even if Zuma is found not guilty, one can only draw the conclusion that by his own admission he is too dumb to live. I hope he caught HIV during that little escapade, because anyone dumb enough to have unprotected sex with a known HIV-positive person deserves exactly what they get. Or, he was safe because he has it already. Either way, this is one man who is way too stupid to ever be president, and may just die before he gets the chance. I hope.
Ten days after the announcement that Koeberg was sabotaged and arrests imminent, we are still in the dark (haha) about how the mystery bolt got in the reactor, and where these 'suspects' are. I'm sticking with my story - some twit screwed the cover back on and discovered only three bolts, and quietly replaced the missing one, hoping no-one would ever notice. As soon as the unit crashed, he disappeared into Llanga or some place similar, never to be found again. Then the government used the tall tale of sabotage to avoid their votes sliding. It's a story with so much more local flavour and spirit.
Oh, and you should go and read schpat's blog to discover just how bad our local police force are. Couldn't find a four-year-old kidnap victim's body in her own god damn bedroom. Her own bedroom! Talk about running through the crime scene with a fine toothed comb! When we talk about 'crack police work' in this country, we mean work that would imply the police were on crack.

The diamond mining and development company has a mid-term target to increase monthly production volumes of quality gravel processed at Middle Orange River (MOR) to 500,000m3.
"Our fiscal 2014 results are beginning to reflect the operational turnaround of the company and its core focus on the MOR region of South Africa. From an operational perspective, these results also show that our MOR focus has gained traction," said Rockwell chief executive and president, James Campbell.
"During fiscal 2014, we delivered two new mines, namely Saxendrift Hill Complex and Niewejaarskraal, both funded internally from cash reserves and this more than doubled our MOR production capacity. Having met our short-term target to have three producing mines in the MOR, our production profile is now more flexible and sustainable."
The sale of diamonds for the year ending 28 February 2014 increased to 41.1 million Canadian dollars from 27.1 million Canadian dollars for the year ended 28 February 2013.
"Our revenue increased 39 per cent year-on-year, underpinned by a 52 per cent increase in diamond sales. These improvements have been consistent each quarter over the last two years, as we have now reported seven consecutive quarters of dollar denominated revenue growth," Campbell said.
(READ MORE: Rockwell Diamonds Q3 revenue up amid growth in diamond demand)
"We believe that the implementation of our earthmoving vehicle upgrade programme should unlock further benefits as we improve the fleet overall utilisation to match our production capacity and renew the equipment to lower our maintenance expenses while improving availabilities."
Operating profit before amortisation and depreciation grew to 5.9 million Canadian dollars in 2014 from one million Canadian dollars in 2013.
Rockwell however reported a loss before taxation of 10.4 million Canadian dollars in the 2014 fiscal year from a loss of 13.9 million in 2013 and a basic and diluted loss per share of 21.30 cents in 2014 from a loss of 22.55 cents in 2013.
"Looking forward, we remain firmly focussed on our medium term target to process 500,000m3 per month of quality gravels. We are conducting contiguous exploration of existing resources at the Saxendrift Extension property to increase the current life of mine, further leveraging our invested mining infrastructure at Saxendrift," said Campbell.
"Mining at Niewejaarskraal, where the processing rate approached the monthly nameplate capacity of 100,000m3 at fiscal year-end, is aimed at upgrading the inferred resource to the indicated level. At the same time, we continue to review our options to bring the Wouterspan property to fruition, with a preference for an internally funded and phased approach."

I've pretty much made up my mind that I am going to hold my nose and vote for Carly Fiorina for the US Senate seat. I'm no fan of Fiorina, and consider her to be a RINO. There are many flaws with Carly, but I think I can trust her to vote Republican 75% of the time. Boxer would vote that way 0% of the time.
The big, big problem here is that Barbara "Don't call me M'am" Boxer is such an extreme liberal that she is harmful to the future of this country. She votes for Socialist agendas, which are barely a hop, skip and jump from flat out Communism and Totalitarianism. The Obamacare vote is going to be the death knell for many, many Democrats across the country. You don't tell Americans voters that they have to buy anything, healthcare or not.
Barbara Boxer is a Dangerous Domestic Enemy of The Constitution.
Her votes in the Senate ensure the violations of Constitutionally protected freedoms and a certain slide towards Totalitarian rule. She must be removed... even if it means voting in a RINO.
As a former member of the US Army , I swore an oath to protect the Constitution.
Boxer being in the Senate is a threat to our very freedom.
I will work with fellow Republicans to ensure that she is removed from power.
A Republican Senate will stop the assault on freedom currently underway with the Obama Administration.

Just speaking from my personal experience, of course, but - midwife visits are WONDERFUL! All of ours were very laid back - like visiting a friend that poked around on my belly.
She never even checked my weight - I did that and reported to her. So it was urine test and fundal height at every visit, and a lot of sitting around talking. Oh, and listening to baby's heartbeat, after twelve weeks.
My biggest 'issue' (if you even want to call it that) with having a midwife was that by the time my due date was near, I was afraid it would be weird to have her checking me and whatnot because I considered her a friend!
Of course, in the midst of labor, it wasn't as awkward as I'd imagined.

New Delhi, Sep 9 (IANS) It was the perfect idea to get veteran actor Dharmendra to inaugurate a new restaurant, innovatively titled 'Garam Dharam, Dhaba Te Theka' here on Wednesday.
A first-of-its-kind outlet in Delhi's Connaught Place area, it takes inspiration from the movies, dialogues and songs of the 'He-Man' of Bollywood. The entrance, adorned by posters of the actor's films, itself gives a hint of what's in store.
Dharmendra is said to have shared his inputs for the look of the outlet, but he says it was not an easy thing to work on.
The 79-year-old, who looked suave in a shirt, trousers, a waistcoat and a hat, told IANS: "I was not ready to do it because I don't know the ABCD of this (restaurant) business.
"I can't do anything except acting. I'm a son of a farmer and my upbringing is like that only… but seeing all this love and support made me feel special."
He is sure foodies will love 'Garam Dharam, Dhaba Te Theka'.
"Everyone loves me so I am sure people will love this place too that has my vibes everywhere," he added, while seated in the midst of the over 4,000 sq ft space, which has been enlivened with 'filmy' elements involving Dharmendra.
Asked if he enjoys a 'dhaba' or at a restaurant, he said he loves using his hands to eat.
"I'm quite shy with all the dining etiquettes. I don't know how people enjoy with a fork and a knife. Till the time I can't use my hand, I can't enjoy food. I feel like slurping my fingers," he said.
Happy to look around at the wall which have some of his famous dialogues splashed all over the walls to his and his image.
According to the owners, the restaurant is apt for those who want the best 'dhaba' cuisine at affordable price.
"Garam Dharam is for all those people who just want the best at best prices. I'm sure we will get a lot of acceptance for Garam Dharam, as we are not compromising on any thing and ensure to give customers an experience to cherish.
"This is a place suitable for all age groups. It is a warm, cosy, and comfortable 'Dhaba Te Theka' style restaurant where each meal is a treasured time to relax and share a bounty of wonderful food with family and friends," said Tewari.
A meal for two would cost Rs.800 to Rs.1,000, exclusive of tax.

Best Orlando Personal Injury Lawyer: Top Reasons Why You Need to Hire a Car Accident Lawyer
You know how extremely traumatic being involved in a car accident, most especially if you're injured as a result of the other driver's negligence, carelessness or reckless behavior. Being involved in a car accident causes turmoil as brought about not only by the pain and difficulty of handling physical injuries, but also emotional stress and your finances, so the last things you need to worry are the legal ramifications involving the personal injury claim and personal injury case. In order to save you from a great deal of worry and stress in the process, it would be wise to seek the legal assistance of a trusted, reliable and experienced car accident attorney in Orlando team to deal with the claim process.
So, why do you need to hire a car accident lawyer? If the insurance company of the at-fault driver is not willing to help or is not bothered about your best interest, then you really need to hire a car accident lawyer. Remember that the greater the severity of your physical injuries as well as psychological and financial impacts, the greater the damages and the amount of compensation that you could get. You can get a higher settlement and compensation you rightfully deserve if you hire an experienced personal injury lawyer to represent you. If you're planning to file a claim against a local, state or federal government agency, your only option is to hire a credible and experienced car accident attorney in Orlando team to legally represent you. If your physical injuries would require long-term physical rehabilitation, occupational therapy or recovery period, or you become permanently disabled, you must consider hiring a personal injury attorney to represent your legal case. If the insurance company offers a settlement amount that is far less than what you really deserve, then hiring a personal injury lawyer is highly recommended.
Personal injury lawyers can tell you right at the very start whether it's worth it pursuing a legal action, because they are experienced in handling car accident cases. If you're unlikely to win your case, it will prevent you from wasting your time, effort and money preparing for litigation. An experienced car accident lawyer can work through the bulky paperwork, legal procedures, and other complex matters to help resolve your claim so you can get on with your life. Personal injury lawyers usually have a dedicated legal team of investigators who can study the technical aspects of your legal case. Personal injury lawyers are experienced, skilled and knowledgeable in working with different insurance companies, will not be deceived with their tactics, and will not be pressured to settle for an unjust amount.The Art of Mastering Lawyers

Job openings rose sharply in June, to 6.163 million from 5.702 million in May. Hires, however, fell sharply, to 5.356 million from 5.459 million. This data set can be volatile but the underlying theme is a separation between openings and hiring which points to tightness in the labor market and the risk, at least theoretically, of wage inflation.
Recent History Of This Indicator
Job openings in the JOLTS report moved lower in May to 5.666 million even though hiring moved up to 5.472 million to narrow what has been a stubborn 2-year gap, one suggesting employers are having a hard time finding the right people. But with payroll growth strong, forecasters see job openings continuing to decline, to a consensus 5.600 million.
