The Basics
Team Score: 615 (T-14th) | 311 First Round, 304 Second Round
How it Happened
The Corsairs held the 16th place in the field following Saturday's first round, finishing at 311 strokes (+36). UMass Dartmouth newcomer Austin Alves (Rochester, Mass.) was the low score on the day, registering a round of 77 (+6), closely followed by seniors Ben Bedarian (Franklin, Mass.), Jared Fadding (Lenox, Mass.) and Tom Sheran (Marstons Mills, Mass.) at 78 (+7). Junior Jackson Mitchell (Marion, Mass.) rounded out the Corsair scores at 80 (+9).
Mitchell then settled in for Sunday's round, joining with Fadding to register UMass Dartmouth's lowest scores of the tournament at 74 (+3). Fadding ended as the top scorer, placing tied for 46th overall with a two-day total of 152. Bedarian shaved one stroke off his first day, totaling a 77 on Sunday, with Alves shooting 79 and Sheran 84.

21 Things To Consider Before You Crash A State Dinner At The White House
- Is this really the best way to get my pressing questions about nationalized health care answered?
- What course do we use that weird-shaped knife for, again? I can never remember.

The YouTube page says that this is "Psalm 62 sung by Westminster Abbey Choir at the 70th Anniversary Service of the Battle of Britain." That would have been in 2010.
They are singing only verses 1-8 of that Psalm - but here's the whole thing, from the 1662 Book of Common Prayer (Coverdale) Psalter:
As always: if anybody knows the composer, I'd be grateful....
Psalm 62. Nonne Deo?MY SOUL truly waiteth still upon God : for of him cometh my salvation.
2. He verily is my strength and my salvation : he is my defence, so that I shall not greatly fall.
3. How long will ye imagine mischief against every man : ye shall be slain all the sort of you; yea, as a tottering wall shall ye be, and like a broken hedge.
4. Their device is only how to put him out whom God will exalt : their delight is in lies; they give good words with their mouth, but curse with their heart.
5. Nevertheless, my soul, wait thou still upon God : for my hope is in him.
6. He truly is my strength and my salvation : he is my defence, so that I shall not fall.
7. In God is my health, and my glory : the rock of my might, and in God is my trust.
8. O put your trust in him alway, ye people : pour out your hearts before him, for God is our hope.
9. As for the children of men, they are but vanity : the children of men are deceitful upon the weights, they are altogether lighter than vanity itself.
10. O trust not in wrong and robbery, give not yourselves unto vanity : if riches increase, set not your heart upon them.
11. God spake once, and twice I have also heard the same : that power belongeth unto God;
12. And that thou, Lord, art merciful : for thou rewardest every man according to his work.

Also, I know Sid Vicious is horrible and that Mark Hoppus doesn't deserve to be on this list either, but I was just curios if less tallented mainstream musicians could still beat out the high quality underrated ones or if people were actually voting on the skill. Oh and that's a very good point, why doesn't Paul Simonon get more credit? SpunkMunkeeD

Saturday at the XPN Festival
XPN festival was this past weekend. It is a festival I look forward to each year. There are always great bands, the weather is usually outstanding and you get to spend two full days looking at one of the best Philly skylines views around. There were some bands I was looking forward to hearing and some I had never heard of, so a good mix.
Amy and I caught the noon ferry over and was by no means the first ones there. Even though the gates opened at 11:30, we could not find a spot to set-up camp at 12:15. We found a shady spot, set-up our chairs and started roaming. They have the music set-up alternating stages, so you never have to choose one band over another. Growing up a third child and being the inventor of FOMO (fear of missing out), I really appreciate that. I once spent a Jazz fest in New Orleans convinced I was missing the better band, though I picked one great one after one great one. After I calmed down a bit, I ended spending one whole day in the gospel tent (where I did not recognize one performer) and was a better woman for it. Anyway, no decisions had to be made at XPN, you just between the River and Marina stages.
As Amy and I made our way from the ferry to the stages, we heard some screeching. It is unclear if it was a band or not, but I am not going to count them/ her/ it. So, the first band I saw was Field Report. Nice, pleasant, good enough way to start. Somewhat unforgettable since I have literally no notes about him. Correction- totally unforgettable. As it turns out, I have more notes about someone I mistook for Cole Redding on the ferry on the way over (story for another day) than I do about this band. We then made our way back to the main stage to hear Calexico. They were good, very good.
I have heard about this band a lot in the last month. I almost invited people to see them with me for my birthday, then friends left my party to go see them, then I realized that they sing my favorite song, Going to Acapulco, from the "I'm Not There" soundtrack, so, overall very excited to hear them. And I was not disappointed. They have this tight band and really incorporate a mixture of styles, including some jazz, southwest influence, afro American drumming, singer songwriter, and, possibly, salsa. A big mash-up that totally works. They were tight and it is always good to get your dancing on by 1:00 pm on a Saturday.
As I go through my notes, I realize there were some bands who I just did not seem overly impressed by or were noteworthy, literally there were no notes written. Don't get me wrong, a day of non-noteworthy bands on a gorgeous day taking in the Philly skyline is better than any day in an office. But for the purposes of this post, I will just remark on the bands that I really enjoyed and why.
After Calexico, I really loved First Aid Kit, though I kept calling them Field Trip. Seems like the same name to me. They were these two young lovely Swedish sisters who were equally comfortable rocking out as they were singing a powerful yet quiet acapella song. Their version of "America" by Paul Simon was awe inspiring and I always love seeing young performers do their interpretation of older, somewhat obscure, songs. Feel likes a sign of respect to me. They also seemed to really like each other, the rest of the band and just playing of everyone. Lastly, they called their mom to the stage for recognition. C'mon, who doesn't love that?
Son Little played on the river stage and he seemed to be a crowd favorite and his set seemed to feed off of the energy of the crowd. I was listening to Lord Huron as I made my way back to the ferry. I would love to see him/them in a longer show as I felt I did not get nearly enough time to appreciate the music. Same for Delta Rae. They are a very fun group and regardless if I mix them up with other bands that have Rae or Delta in their name, I must see them on their own.
Sunday at the XPN festival
Susan and I got a nice early start, got over to the festival in time to take advantage of remote parking lots. I am not gonna lie, it is a pain to see shows in Camden. After the previous day of taking planes, trains and automobiles, I was more than willing to pay a premium for parking just so I could spend more time at the show and not stressing about schedules and figuring out my next zig zag and transportation mode to get around.
Another beautiful day on the waterfront and we were there exactly in time for Lone Bellow, who I was psyched to see. I had heard of these guys and was planning on seeing them during the winter at Underground Arts, but they sold out immediately. Their next show was at Union Transfer, which is a good indication of their rising popularity.
These three musicians, who call their sound "Brooklyn country music," incorporate folk, gospel and blues while completely rocking out. At one point, the lead guy was coming off stage to try and get into the audience and the gal was in the zone playing an electric mandolin. I did not even know there was such a thing as an electric mandolin. More surprisingly, I loved the sound. They got completely caught up in their set and the audience went nuts in appreciation. I was so glad they lived up to my expectations. They are returning in November (Union Transfer) and will definitely make a point of seeing them then.
We then met up with a bunch of folks and was hanging out by our little camp. My friend Chris, one of my MBFs (music best friends), got there later than expected and was itching to see music, so I met her over at the Marina Stage to see Bombino. I had no idea of these guys and was incredibly pleased when I happened upon them to find this full blown band in glittery, matching Bedouin wear. Turns out they are from the Sahara desert. From further research, it turns out that Bombino is the lead singer and a raw and hypnotic guitarist channeling Jerry Garcia but with funk. Check out his bio here, I cannot do him the justice he deserves. I would have to say that this was my best find and the band nugget I took away. What I love about the XPN festival is that while I am excited about seeing bands I know and what they do live, I always come away with a brand new band that I can't stop replaying in my head afterwards that was not even on my radar. There is some damn good music out there.
Making our way back to the River Stage for Courtney Barnett, Chris and I decided to head into the "belly of the beast" and get as close as we could. I love wandering around during shows and seeing the music from different angles. That almost always includes getting as close as I can. I know some folks are not into that, but I just kind of burrow and burrow until I get where I want to go. I am polite and always excuse myself and sometimes I keep burrowing so much that I dump myself out of the other side of where I started. I get pretty focused on the task at hand. I was leading Chris (I always lead) and as we made our way, I hear her say 'there it is" and there it was. It just always kind of happens that when you are doing your thing to find your spot, the spot finds you and it will be perfect. We settled in. I turned around and asked the gentleman behind me if he could still see or if he needed me to remove my hat. His answer was "No, way, I saw what you were doing and started following you on the outer ring. You are awesome. No need to move or take your hat off, I am just thankful you got me here."
Back to Courtney Barnett. My friend Michael had seen her in June and said it was the best show he had seen all year. And he goes to a lot of shows and does not exaggerate. I knew I was going to be in for a treat. Bottom line, she is the future, and hope for, old-time, wailing guitar and political lyrics rock and roll. She is a Patti Smith and Mick Jagger and all about the substance and not the style. She wailed on her guitar for 45 minutes straight as she strode across the stage. The only time I saw her face was when she was shaking her sweaty hair out the way to scream into the mic. Outstanding. Just outstanding.
After that exhilarating set, we went over to see Kopecky (formerly Kopecky Family Band). We did the opposite of getting as close as we could and stood behind the stage, which was a cool view. You see the musicians doing their thing from a different angle and see the crowd's reaction. I hope these guys get really popular. They seem like really nice people, have great banter and energy and are good musicians with great vocals. Loved seeing them. We headed back to the main stage for the Indigo Girls and they were exactly the Indigo Girls. We left during their set.
The number one question I got over the weekend from folks who know of my year long quest was, "How will I count a festival?" Will it count as one show? Or will it count as individual shows to reflect the number of bands I saw? I am still not committing to making a hard and fast rule. When people ask, I say a lot will depend on where I am at come May 29, 2016. Though, I was pretty clear about saying I wanted to see 50 shows in the year, not 50 bands. Still there will be a time where one concert or event may really encompass two distinct shows and can, thus, be counted as 2. Who knows, at the end of the year, I may tally how many bands I saw this year, but for now I will just keeping track of shows. So, even though I saw 12 bands, the XPN festival counts as 2 shows.
36 shows to go, 311 days left…
35 shows to go, 310 days left…

Tons of people in this generation are dreaming to have condo units so they could live in places that are more comfortable and luxurious. This would not be a bad thing as long as the right one is chosen. It means you need not to waste your money on something that would never give you any benefit. So, it is only best that you choose wisely. It may confuse you so there is a need to take your time.
If possible, seek for a unit that can give the best view of your life. Singer Island Oceanfront condos for sale may the ones you are looking for but it does not mean you should invest in one right away. It still needs to be chosen carefully since a large amount of money is at stake here. It has to be made sure that the right one is bought. But if really have no idea how to choose, you can follow tips.
Others would not do this because they truly believe every condo unit is the same even if it is not true. You must not be doing the same for it would only cause a lot of problems in the long run and you do not want it to happen. You should consider some simple and effective steps to find the best.
First tip is very simple and it would be using internet to search for potential ones. You may visit the sites that are also trusted by many people. That way, this would be much easier for you and it also offers you the benefits you really deserve. Details are clearly posted so take time to read them.
Photos are even present. Such galleries would aid you in selecting carefully since the words may be too less for you. Thus, pictures have to be checked since they speak a thousand words. This will not disappoint you and it makes the decision making even faster. Thus, you must consider this one.
Location is another relevant one. You have to pick a condo that is near the sea. That way, you will have a good view of the sea and everything that makes your eyes sparkle. You can even choose the unit that offers you city view but it still depends on your preference. Always keep this in mind.
Parking lots must also be present since not all buildings have safe ones. Your car may be stole in the middle of the night so it would only be best that a safe parking area is present. If not, you may start to seek for another one. Parking spaces are very significant since they reduce your stress.
Space has to be huge enough as well. You and some of you friends might come alone sometimes so picking a large one would make sense. Check the place yourself so you would have an idea.
Facilities shall be working properly. There should not be any defects or your money would be wasted. It should never be missed for it could affect your way of living. Bear that in mind.

The Drama Matters season came up with another winner in the shape of Rubenesque (Sky Living).
It starred Scotland goalkeeper Gemma Fay as Shona, a young referee's assistant with her heart set on becoming the Premier League's first woman in charge of the whistle. But then a spot of simulation finds her suspended indefinitely and strapped for cash.
What followed was a mazy and amusing dribble around the fringes of the sex trade, female identity, body fascism and fork-lift truck driving – not forgetting a spot of lesbian martial arts action – with Fay's holding role in the centre of midfield marking her out as a talent to watch.
She gave the feisty Shona, who could have descended into tomboy stereotype, a credible edge – a heroine we could all cheer from the terraces. She was funny too.
Though she was playing in a team packed with classy cameos (Dylan Moran, Emun Elliott and Freema Agyeman), there was no doubt who was the star of this show.

You had a great design and might have won if the contest was not fixed. Myminifactory gave the $5,000.00 prize to their own employees, the two guys from 3DNA. We will never know who really won. What a crock of crap that fake contest was! It started way late, we never knew when the voting period was as they kept changing it and all along they had already decided who the winner was.

Service providers constantly work to ensure they can supply the bandwidth their customers need and most recently the jump has been from 1 Gbps connections to 10 Gbps. If you are Greg Gum (pictured), a Vice President at Anda Networks, you know about these issues firsthand as your company supplies the equipment which service providers use to power their networks.
Responding to the surging need for faster connections, his company responded with a 10Gig Carrier Ethernet flavor of the company's EtherReach product (pictured) called the EtherReach10G. According to Gum The 1 RU box supports the latest OAM capabilities and SLA verification metrics.
In addition, the box supports dual 10G uplinks and further has the ability to provision bandwidth in 1Mbps increments if needed.
Gum enthusiastically explained to me his company also has a new element management system which he says is the first to support multivendor carrier Ethernet equipment. This includes the following vendors: Alcatel-Lucent, Cisco, Extreme, Foundry, Fujitsu, Juniper, Nortel, and Tellabs.
Gum explained, "Our service provider customers are aggressively rolling out next-generation Ethernet 2.0 access services which include the newest 802.1ag, Y.1731, and RFC2544 OAM implementations." He continued, "However, they typically are faced with trying to scale their management and OSS solutions to rapidly deploy, remotely manage, monitor and provision, Ethernet networks which are inherently multi-vendor. With our next-generation EtherView 2.0 management software, carriers have the freedom to deploy best-of-breed equipment while maintaining carrier class management options that can be easily integrated into their current OSS solutions."
I asked Gum why carriers should consider purchasing products from his company and to this he replied that in the carrier Ethernet access space - most large players have jettisoned their access equipment due to margin pressure. One of the advantages Anda brings to the table according to Gum is that they have a Silicon Valley/China model since they purchased an optical company deep in China.
They now can benefit from low labor rates and as a result are able to produce access equipment with good margins. This access equipment obviously works well with the Anda boxes in the network core.
Another reason he said to pick his company is because they have a very rich software base of features loaded onto their boxes and don't rely mainly on a network processor like most of the competitors in the market. The network processor is slower according to Gum as it needs to keep track of statistics and diagnostics which are resource intensive.
They do much of this processing in hardware with FPGAs which is a lower cost, higher performance solution.
In the company's S1 they explain this advantage to investors. Here is an excerpt:
We utilize a combination of FPGAs and standard chipsets as the processing backbone for our EtherTone platforms. To leverage available technology, we utilize standard chipsets for commoditized functionality, such as Ethernet switching, and use FPGAs to enable advanced functionality. Unlike standard application-specific integrated circuit, or ASIC, chipsets, custom chipsets, or network processors that are pre-loaded with embedded features and functionalities, FPGAs contain programmable logic components and interconnects, which enable a high degree of flexibility and performance. Our engineering team's significant knowledge and experience with FPGAs enables us to develop proprietary algorithms to optimally program FPGAs with customized features and functionalities.

Zero Dark Thirty,2012, USA
Director: Katheryn Bigelow
Stars: Jessica Chastain, Joel Edgerton & James Gandolfini
Maya: You can help yourself by being truthful.
day Osama Bin Laden died, one of the first thoughts that crossed my
mind was 'when will the film be released ?' just a little under two
years later came that day, and who better to helm the film than Kathryn
Bigelow, who reached immense success with 'The Hurt Locker' back in
2009. I honestly did not intend on seeing 'Zero Dark Thirty' so soon as I
expected to get nothing out of it, fortunately I was wrong as this film
gave me a swift kick in the face and one of the best experiences of
After the tragic and inhumane event of September 11th
2001, the CIA begins a munhunt for the man responsible, al-Qaeda
terrorist leader Osama bin Laden. A young CIA agent named Maya is one of
the most dedicated to the cause.
To be quite honest, I fully
expected 'Zero Dark Thirty' to be an overly patriotic mess that was
filled with plenty of propaganda, and for the first half an hour of this
film I thought I was correct, but then the film took me in its grip and
never let go. I am one of the few that disliked Bigelow's 'The Hurt
Locker' and hated the fact received so many undeserved Oscars, so I
really did not care to watch any more of her work. I am so glad I saw
'Zero Dark Thirty' though, this film is a completely rewarding
experience about the pursuit for justice.
The first half an hour
of this film really did not entice me though, It was a little clustered
and I was quite unsure as to what Bigelow and Screenwriter Mark Boal
were aiming for, but then they really found their stride and have
created what will be an endearing piece of work. I will be the first to
admit that, despite my dislike of the first part of this film, I do
believe that Bigelow has given one of the best directorial efforts of
the year. It isn't really Oscar worthy but it does deserve a nomination,
Its a hard thing to create suspense when the audience is already aware
of a situations outcome, but Bigelow achieves it as the last 30 minutes
of this film are some of the most exciting I've seen on film all year.
Boal's screenplay is good to, and is informative as well as enthralling.
Some may enter this film expecting action and full throttle
suspense, but the film only features one of these aspects. The film is
incredibly suspenseful, but it creates this suspense using dialogue,
which is always my favorite kind of suspense. There are some beautifully
executed action sequences as well though, as the climax at Bin Laden's
compound is just great.
This film has gained a substantial
amount of controversy for being 'pro-torture', I am not really sure how
to respond to that. There are a couple of mild torture sequences towards
the beginning of the film and they are conducted by the American's, but
I wouldn't say that the film endorses acts of torture for the greater
good. It may not portray them as being right, but it does portray them
as being effective.
I only really heard of Jessica Chastain for
the first time in 2011, when she was in 'The Tree of Life', I have seen
her in a few films since and more often than not, she has stolen the
show. But I wouldn't say that Chastain steals the show here, because she
IS the show. What a performance! absolutely incredible! without a
shadow of a doubt Jessica Chastain is one of the finest working
actresses today and this is her crowning achievement. Such a brave and
courageous performance, she brings so much believability and toughness
to this role and gives a tour de force performance. If she does not
receive an Oscar for this then I have lost all faith in the Academy. The
supporting is also great, featuring the likes of Joel Edgerton, James
Gandolfini, Kyle Chandler, Mark Duplass and Mark Strong, everyone is
great here but it is really the Jessica Chastain.
'Zero Dark
Thirty' really is an incredible film experience. Bigelow and Boal have
collaborated to create an incredible piece of work that completely
eclipses 'The Hurt Locker' (For me, that wasn't hard'). Jessica Chastain
gives a performance that has been ranked as one of the very best of the
year. The incredible manhunt for Osama Bin Laden has been brought to
the screen, and like the real life situation, it has been done justice.
One of the best films of 2012

Was That It?!…
We're just a few hours away from September and I have to say I feel rather cheated out of a decent summer this year. Although there's been several butterflies, numbers are down on previous years, and bees have been almost completely invisible. Apparently snails are thriving – or so it seems by the destruction of the leaves on my cherry tree despite my best efforts at removing the little pests.
You can't go far wrong with geraniums, and mine are no exception. The begonias have done unexpectedly well too, but other plants have been well below par. The buddleia is a disappointment as is the red jasmine (both should've attracted the bees but both lacked significant blooms).
The mint was a good idea as it's now filled the wall planters after I replaced the lacklustre lobelias. It's also beginning to flower, which is good. The chives are putting on a great display as always.
There's rumours of an 'Indian Summer' but I won't be holding my breath…

Warning: cliffhangers abound…
All season long, we've watched Chef Janette Desautel work through her reservations about going into big business with a high-profile restaurateur, and on last night's Season 3 finale of Treme, the tension came to a head.
First, a marketing decision we're all too familiar with: the dreaded brunch service. Tim wants to start serving brunch for the free money serving eggs at $28 a plate will bring in, while Janette refuses to kill her staff with a Sunday morning service while they're still working out the kinks on dinner.
And remember how she wasn't allowed to fire chefs without going through the proper HR channels?
Yeah, that didn't end in a scolding at all…
And after this argument where it becomes clear that Janette has, in fact, sold her soul to the devil for a lease on St. Charles Avenue, Chef Desautel's future seems bleak. And, because it's HBO and David Simon, we'll probably have to wait approximately three years for Season 4 to return. Sigh. Till next season, Mr. Bourdain. Cheers on a great run.
Have a tip we should know? firstname.lastname@example.com

How to make an immigrant quilt
I don't own a sewing machine -- and even if I did I'm not sure I could figure out how to turn the thing on, much less get it to do what I'd want it to do.
I'm not a good candidate to be making a quilt.
But – God help me – I am making one, and have been, on and off, for the past 13 years.
Before you ask, no, I'm not finished yet.
I told you – I don't sew.
Years ago, in Guatemala, I was forced to take sewing class – costura – at the Colegio Maya. It was one of the only classes I ever took that I came this close to failing. Sra. Alonzo hated me. God's truth. I insisted on talking while I sewed. My stitches wandered, and I was indifferent to their meandering. And I think I once told her – more or less – that her class was an unwelcome remnant of musty 19th century educational thinking.
My brothers (taking handicrafts like all the other boys in those days of gender-segregated classes) were coming home with cool things like lamps and magazine racks they had made; I carted home samplers and twee crocheted doilies only my grandmother could love.
I tried to persuade my parents to get me out of the class. My father sat on the school's board of directors and my mother was the hip young artist the school administrators consulted to determine just how many inches above the knee our miniskirts were allowed to be. But no dice. Even after the appeal and the sympathetic looks I still had to attend the stupid class. And mind my manners while I was at it.
Mrs. Alonzo glared at my hopeless cross stitch, pursed her lips at my imperfect chain stitch and cleared her throat every time I chose the fat crochet hooks and thick yarns that speeded the delivery of completed (if utterly graceless) projects.
As we sewed, outside the windows of our classroom a war of insurgency and counterinsurgency raged.
When I first moved to the States people didn't believe me when I told them I'd never experienced a school fire drill. Our Colegio Maya drills prepared us for crossfire; for the military vs. guerilla shootouts that frequently took place in that part of Zone 10 during those years.
We watched our classmates' fathers killed in front of the school during recess; saw one of our bus drivers go down in crossfire as he escorted us from the playground into the school; even witnessed one of our teachers collapse at the news that her son had been caught by the country's politically-driven violence that left no family untouched.
Inside, we stitched in silence.
We never talked about what we saw outside the school's door – not even the afternoon after C's father was killed in front of our eyes. Instead, we focused on samplers that evoked a gentility long disappeared from the country.
I've come to think of that sewing class as emblematic of the country during those years – enforced silence and an obtuse pretense that everything was as it should be.
Still, I cried when my family had to move to the United States (see "Hope is the thing with feathers" blog post of Dec. 14, 2008 to read why we moved). Though I have been an American citizen from birth I had only visited the States on vacations every so often and I understood, even from those short visits, that I was an American without the slightest idea about how to feel or be American.
But when my mother took us one summer day to enroll in Downingtown High School (a huge school it would take me weeks to find my way around and which I'd never really understand how to navigate) I was gratified to learn that here, at least, sewing classes were not mandatory.
You could fast-forward through the next 15 or 20 years of my life (years in which every poem and story I wrote was about Guatemala's bloody unfolding history and every political cause I embraced had at its heart a hope for justice in that country) and see very few moments in which I picked up needle and thread willingly.
Once, shortly before my daughter was born I crocheted just long enough to produce a small baby blanket for her. Another time, I managed to finish a short hooded capelet which she wore a handful of times as a toddler. That's it. I even eschewed hemming pants – that's what safety pins are for, isn't it?
Strangely, some of my best friends turned out to be people unusually skilled with the needle.
I loved watching them work. For a couple of years running I spent nearly every morning at Robin's house, watching him graph patterns, cut strips of fabric, piece them, and put together into quilts. Some carried well-known pattern names like Log Cabin and Tree of Life, others were original patterns. They were all exquisite (to see his work go to http://tristanrobinblakeman.com/ArtQuilts.html).
Irrationally, I found myself wanting to create a quilt too, and started collecting my daughter's outgrown clothing to that purpose.
Robin was encouraging – after he got over his shock at the sheer folly of it.
I had no sewing machine and so proposed to make a crazy quilt – a type of quilt popular in the Victorian era in which the pieces of fabric were randomly placed and set off by decorative stitchery. I think he understood that it was the very randomness of the crazy quilt that appealed to me.
Still, he warned me, it's not as random as it seems.
Unheeding, I went ahead.
I chose absolutely the worst possible fabric to serve as the backing block, and within seconds of sewing the first piece on it, it went radically and permanently out of square.
I kept going anyway.
I added a piece of an antique woven Nepalese cap my mother had presented to me when my daughter was days old, then a piece from a very downtown-New-York toddler's outfit one of my brothers had bought for her, followed by a scrap of organza collar from a ridiculously pouffy little girl's dress only a mother would have the nerve to buy for her kid.
I sewed them on with satin stitch and chain stitch and blanket stitch, and stitches without proper names because they were really "make-betters" on stitches I had tried but mucked up.
I wasn't producing art (or even straight seams) like Robin or another quilting friend, Donna – but I could live with that.
As I kept going with this first block, providence seemed to encourage me.
My brother-in-law went up to the attic of their family home and found a piece of a quilt that their deceased mother or grandmother or grand-aunt had started and abandoned years ago. Guess what? It was a piece of crazy quilt, with the old leaded silks and taffetas and shirting fabric simply basted on to a seed-bag backing block.
When I held it up to the square I was working on, it was almost exactly the same size. If my block had actually been square, that is.
For about two or three weeks after the discovery of the Saunders quilt piece I dreamt about the finished crazy quilt. I loved the idea of piecing together these bits of lives in cloth and putting them in a quilt for my daughter.
At that time I hadn't yet seen the movie "How to Make an American Quilt," which is, in essence, an extended riff on just that. I had heard about the movie however, from Robin, who railed at the last scene where Winona Ryder wraps herself in the lovely quilt just completed for her and literally drags it through the dirt.
Several more weeks passed after the discovery of the Saunders piece, and my usual sewing animus reemerged.
I wondered whether I should just sew the two blocks back-to-back into a crazy pillow and be done with it already.
I don't remember when I officially laid the project aside.
My mother died suddenly of an aneurism we never knew she had.
My husband, daughter and I moved to Pennsylvania, where our lives, for a while, seemed like the miscarriage I had soon after moving – a promise so compromised it could not be sustained.
My father got pancreatic cancer, and died after two years of a battle that rent my heart.
Through it all, my daughter grew, and outgrew clothing. But instead of cutting them into pieces to incorporate into the crazy quilt, I carted the clothing to donation bins.
I didn't know where I had put the two existing quilt blocks, or even whether I had packed them and brought them along with us on the move.
Providence seemed to have lost interest in this particular quilt –and anyway, I wasn't sure I believed in providence anymore.
People vanish from our lives. Quickly, when a bullet or aneurism takes them. Or slow and excruciating, like the long dying of those who disappear during a dirty war, or in cancer. We train ourselves not to talk about these deaths – as in that long remembered sewing class of mine – for fear that our voices will tear.
Or that we will fray into nothingness as we consider our losses.
Each death is a piece out of a fabric that started out whole. What do we do when we are surrounded by the pieces?
People are fond of saying that God writes with crooked lines, I prefer to think He sews with them.
His grace sometimes punches through our lives with an unbearably sharp needle, but then, great generous blanket stitches bind our frayed edges. Backstitches advance us even as we seem to be going back. And His wandering, loopy chain stitches link us to the strong fabric that remains in our lives.
I found those two quilt blocks a few months ago.
My daughter didn't remember them, and for an hour or so, I regaled her with the provenance of each piece on the block I had created. I mused about the sayings I had stitched-in back then – redes from a different religion, from the radically different life I had led.
And still, I recognize I had been searching then, like now, for recognition of the moments when the numinous touches our lives. For the moment we find ourselves in still center of the labyrinth, and look, there's no minotaur there but a pair of wings.
I speculated, as my daughter examined the two pieces, about the fabrics used in the block basted together by the Saunders women– onto which I had stitched the names of my daughter's grandparents and great-grandparents.
Then, like now, family is the spine, the ribs, the invisible frame that enables us to stand. No matter that I had never met these members of my husband's family, no matter that in my own extended family there is some scar tissue along with the supporting bone. I wanted those Welsh, Mexican, German, Guatemalan, Greek and American names all there where my daughter could run her fingers over them and know that, along with her unique gifts, this is the stuff she is made of.
A crazy quilt – light and dark, smooth and coarse, rich fabrics and poor, straight lines and crooked.
Random only on the surface.
"Are you ever going to finish the quilt for me?" she asked.
"Can't I just make you a pillow?" I asked in answer.
"No," she said. "You can't."
I don't think I say yes to her, but in the next few days I start on a new block.
Then another. And another.
Each piece I add has history and memory: the salmon silk onto which I sewed the old blocks and on which I built the new is from a formal gown my mother wore in Thailand to meet the king. The rough yellow silk cut into leaf shapes was hand-woven in the San Marcos region of my mother's homeland (the Guatemala that so shaped my youth).
The feather-shaped pieces of sophisticated Italian silk used faced and reversed in the wings of one of the birds on the end pieces is from my father's tie, and the white-on-white cutwork feathers on the other bird are from handkerchiefs that once belonged to my grandmothers.
I think of a Dorothy Day quote as I sew the memories on: "We cannot live alone. We cannot go to heaven alone. Otherwise God will say to us 'Where are the others?'"
Each piece I add has a present: my daughter's school ribbons, a piece of the beaded Indian silk she wore for my older brother's wedding, symbols from the manga she currently reads and loves. A machine-embroidered Virgin of Guadalupe from one of my pillowcases. Pieces from a scarf that belongs to my husband made into the trees of his woods in central New York. Milagros representing the prayers I've taught myself to remember, and the ones I've made up in gratitude.
Each piece I add has a future: I plan to take the quilt top to the aunt of one of my husband's Mennonite co-workers who routinely adds batting and edging to finish pieces like this into proper quilts. I set aside yards of backing fabric for it (kente cloth my father bought years ago in Zaire for my mother) and conjure images of new faced with old, of a whole made from pieces.
I start to embroider on one of the blocks (an oblong, actually) the words of a William Stafford poem I've found by chance, by providence, recently: "There's a thread you follow. It goes among things that change. But it doesn't change."
How much a wayfarer I still am.
I've made an immigrant's quilt for my daughter, and sewn into it the messiness, the incertitude, the striving and suffering and faith that pace every pilgrimage.
I don't know when I'll finish – I told you, I don't sew.
But I have learned to piece together.

This is going to be exquisite! - it already is! I am so impressed that you are persevering on the crazy quilt...I will admit I never thought you'd do it. And to heck with Mrs. Alonzo - your sewing skills are just fine!ReplyDelete
I miss our mornings!!! :-(
i.e.: railing about Winona dragging that gorgeous all-white hand quilted quilt through the dirt. You have one heck of a memory! LOL

2 Ways To Gain The Trust Of Your Customers With Inbound Marketing
Indrajit Goswami 3 Min Read
How could we draw our target customers into our funnel? That was the question, asked by a marketer to a digital marketing expert. The way the expert replied and explained was a transformational learning for the marketer. The marketer understood that selling is not the ultimate goal of inbound marketing, but it is more about creating a long lasting impression in the minds of the visitors and customers. Also, the expert pointed out that we must try to associate the target customers with the brand than merely pursuing them to buy our products or services. Let's remember that inbound marketing is not just advertising or creating better visibility of our products or services. It's more about winning the confidence and trust of our target customers. How could we make it happen? How would you proceed to achieve it? The following are the TWO simple ways to do that.
1. Problem solving: Winning trust of your customers depends on how effectively you offer a solution to their problem. Hence, you need to focus on the problem-solving ability of your brand. That you can effectively explain through blogs, case studies, e-books or videos. Here, your objective is not to sell the product. You've to closely associate with the target customers, who are browsing with similar problems to find out a more reliable solution. Hence, you need to concentrate more on the quality of your content than its length (70% of buyers say that written content, such as white papers and case studies should not be more than five pages).
2. Create an impression at every touch point: The modern customers believe in research and so they gather relevant information before taking a purchase decision. On an average every target customer goes up to 10 touches or more to verify and compare a product online. Hence, reassure that every time you are found by them, you deliver some new information, they are looking for. You cannot win their trust unless you are able to satisfy their appetite for more refined and concrete information. You must be ready with relevant technical details through webinars, videos, research papers etc. Remember that the research intervention deepens before every purchase. Here, as a marketer, you need to offer the right marketing mix. It includes the attributes of your product, pricing, places of availability and logistics of (home) delivery. This is the critical stage for winning the trust of your target customers. In a B2B research study, it was found that 76% of the buyers prefer different content at each stage of their search process and 89% accepted that their search is greatly induced by the cost factor of the item they are looking for.
You can simply win the trust of your target customers by reassuring them with 'reliability' (problem-solving ability) and 'affordability' (attributes, price, availability etc.) of your brand or product.

Thank you Nikita for sharing views. Yes, I could have done it. Since, space (scope in blog) is limited, I had to balance. Will try next time.

Are you looking for something fun to do with the whole family this summer? If you haven't considered it, please, think about visiting Cedar Point amusement park on beautiful Lake Erie. You may think this is a place only for roller coaster aficionados or teens with their friends to hang out. That couldn't be less true. There's plenty for the entire family to enjoy – even your youngest family members! Thanks to Cedar Point my family received complimentary entrance to the park for a day for the purposes of sharing our experience. There are a few things you need to know about me –
– The last time I was at Cedar Point was 16 years ago. It was my second date with my now husband.
– Roller coasters really aren't my thing. The intense sensation of losing my stomach is not something I enjoy. Not to mention I'm not fond of heights. But my husband LOOOOOOVES them.
– This is my first time taking my children to any amusement park, anywhere, ever.
We invited my husband's cousin and his family to join us for the day. They go to CP every year and were more familiar with the park and the attractions geared toward little ones. Their little girl is the same age as our youngest. I was a little worried about how things were going to work out since I'm a bit too big to ride on some of the small rides that require adult accompaniment (aka I need to lose some weight) and how we were going to deal with the guys wanting to ride the big rides.
I've got to say it was one of the most fun experiences I've ever had at Cedar Point. On previous visits I was the only "chicken" in the group and ended up feeling compelled to ride the huge roller coasters, like the Mean Streak and Magnum. I did enjoy the Mantis though. Going with my kids was completely different and very gratifying. Watching them enjoy the sights, sounds and sensations of the rides made my husband and me very happy.
We started out in Kiddie Kingdom. Most of the rides there are so small adults aren't actually allowed; some an adult can ride, but they must be accompanied by a child. Given the fact my kids had never been on even a carnival ride before we wanted to start on something pretty tame and work our way up. They did the little Helicopter ride first. All of the girls were under 54″ so it was perfect for them. Each girl got their own copter to control during the ride. To our surprise they all wanted to ride the Matterhorn. I love these kinds of rides. The spinning makes me dizzy, BUT it's something I can handle (plus I took some motion sickness medication before we left home). The girls loved it.
Little cousin had begged all morning for us to take them to Camp Snoopy so they could ride WoodStock Express. After lunch, which Cedar Point so graciously (and deliciously) provided, we headed that direction. My oldest was tall enough to ride alone, but she didn't really want to, so I said I'd go with her. This was my first taste of "I'm too fat to ride"; it was humiliating. Unfortunately I wasn't the only parent who faced that dilemma, but at least my girl was tall enough to ride this one alone. There were many disappointed kids (and mortified parents) walking away because neither mom or dad could fit on the ride and the kiddos were too small to ride alone. Make yourself aware of height and weight limits before arriving to save yourself some embarrassment. Next we took them to the Wilderness Run. We probably should have done these the other way around since this ride was a step down on the thrill factor. We learned early on that the girls like riding roller coasters!!!
We finally got our chance to get our first experience on Pipe Scream and Lake Erie Eagles. This was where having an extra person willing to wait with our backpacks came in handy. The wait was 45 minutes :O and I kind of wished we'd gotten a FastLane pass. By the time we got to the front of the line the ride had broken down and we had to wait another 20 minutes while maintenance figured out what was wrong. Being that this was the whole reason we came to CP in the first place I wasn't about to abandon my place in line. So glad we didn't. This ride combines the best of the spinning carnival type rides with the the thrills of a roller coaster. Each row sat 6. The guys sat at one end of the car, I sat at the other and the three little ones sat in the middle. The only restraint was a lap bar but we were so snug in the seats there wasn't a need for a seat belt. When the ride reached the apex of the turn on either end and your side of the car was on the upswing, HOLY COW, you could certainly feel that familiar 'going over a hill too fast' feeling. It made me scream every time. The girls did too, but they'd immediately start giggling once it was over. So much fun; I'd definitely ride it again.
Lake Erie Eagles was an upgraded airplane ride where the "planes" looked like eagles. The steering mechanism was the head of the eagle. You could control your ascent and descent and angle into the wind by pushing the handle to the left or the right. I rode with my little one. She did not want to let me help her steer!!! She had us up as far as we could go and then got pushed by a wind gust. It was quite an experience. I had to close my eyes for a little bit on the ride so I wouldn't get too dizzy, lol.
Next we headed to Dinosaurs Alive! This open air exhibit of animatronic dinosaurs is available to tour for an extra fee (included for PlatinumPass holders). I wasn't sure what to expect. The littlest ones thought maybe there were real live dinos :D. The life-size, life-like dinosaurs were stationary for the most part but would regularly move head to tail and roar. There were also stations where you could push a button to make the dino there move. It was great for scaring the bejeezus out of people :).
Each exhibit was a different scene from what we assume dinosaur life was like complete with a description of the dinosaurs involved. Everything from feeding and hunting to caring for eggs and young and even how the dinos may have been trapped in swamps and quicksand leading to the discovery of their fossils in our day was depicted. It takes about 30 minutes to 1 hour to go through and is a great interactive experience for those who like the shows and not the rides so much. The rides hung over most of the exhibit and their roar as they zoomed past added to the growls and sounds of the beasts within. There weren't any restrooms within the exhibit that I could find. I asked if we would be allowed back in if we left to go to the restroom and we were told no unless of course we still had family with small children inside the exhibit we needed to get back to.
For me another highlight of our trip was All Wheels Extreme at the Extreme Sports Stadium (next to WindSeeker) . This show features acrobatics done on trampoline, half pipe, bicycles, scooters, and roller blades. The athletes performing the show come from all over the country and have previously competed in the X-Games or performed professionally in other venues. Nearing the end of our long day it was a perfect way to cap off our trip while we waited for our men to come back from riding the Millennium Force. The girls were enthralled by the almost sensory overload of rockin' music and incredible choreography. At the end of the show we got to go down and meet the cast. The girls were happy to get their picture taken with Coco. She was one of the athletes on roller blades for the show. All Wheels Extreme runs every day of the week except Thursday with the last daily showing at 7 PM. This show was a big change from the singing and dancing shows I remember as a kid.
How To Make the Most of Your Day At Cedar Point
Plan ahead and check online for deals.
- This thread on FatWallet is regularly updated and has a list of what's new, what's gone, what's closed that day and entrance fee "discount holidays".
- RetailMeNot's CedarPoint page has up to date deals you can use online.
- Look for deals on All Day Meal Plans, FastLane, group ticketing, hotel rates and drink wristbands.
Get a FastLane or FastLane Plus Pass
- It's not cheap BUT you are guaranteed (weather and mechanical difficulties aside) a ride on 20 of the parks most popular coasters with NO WAITING. Time is money right?
- These are sold in very limited quantities every day so if you know you'll definitely want to ride the big, popular attractions get yours online ahead of time.
Get there early.
- With an average daily attendance of 22,000 the park fills up quick. The park opens at 10 AM so the earlier you get there the better. This is especially true if you plan on riding any of the more popular roller coasters.
Dress appropriately.
- Ohio weather can be unpredictable at times, but in the summer you can typically count on cool mornings and evenings and really hot sunny days. If you can stay at a resort on the park grounds to keep your jacket and change of clothes that's great. Otherwise plan on carrying them in a backpack or at least having a light jacket available in your vehicle.
- Be wise with your footwear. You are going to be walking a lot. Make sure your footwear is comfortable AND that it is secured to your foot. You don't want to lose your shoes on a ride, do you ;)?
Bring sunblock!
- Sunny summer days can go from pleasant to painful without the proper protection for your skin. Make sure to cover your exposed skin with at least SPF 30 and reapply regularly. Don't forget the back of your neck and tops of your ears!
If you suffer with motion sickness or vertigo take a preventative/antiemetic med before coming.
- Don't give up on enjoying your day if you get motion sickness. I started experiencing motion sickness after my kids were born. I thought I'd never ride another thrill ride again. By taking a Bonine Motion Sickness Protection Chewable Tablet when we left the house I was able to make it to Sandusky and ride some rides without experiencing nausea and only minimal dizziness.
Pack a backpack with water and snacks. Wear a waist pack or make use of zippered pants pockets to store your valuables.
- As parents we always need to be prepared for the inevitable "I'm hungry" or "I'm thirsty" at the most inopportune times. You can stash a backpack in the cubbies at each ride and pick it up when you're finished. Whatever you do, DO NOT PUT VALUABLES IN ANY BAG YOU PLAN ON PUTTING IN THE CUBBIES. You would like to trust people, but you don't want to risk ruining your day by losing your wallet, phone or camera.
- Purses, bags or lose items are not allowed on the rides. To keep from losing your keys, phone, wallet, inhaler or what have you be prepared with the proper and ONLY bag allowed on rides – a fanny or waist pack.
- Alternatively, you can leave these items with a non-rider who is willing to wait for you.
Prepare your kids for the crowds and what to do if they get lost.
There will be a TON of people, especially on the weekends. If you don't have little ones by the hand it can be easy for them to get lost in the shuffle. Prepare them to stay calm and ask for help. If they are old enough to follow directions pick a meeting place if you get separated. There is a lost persons stand in the middle of Kiddie Kingdom and also any of the park employees should be more than willing to help.
We used the "ducky system" with dads in front, kids in the middle and moms behind. It's an easy way to keep an eye on little ones.
Just have fun!
Thanks to Cedar Point for a wonderful day of fun in the sun. Can't wait to do that again!

Excelsior's Online Writing Lab is successful because it links pedagogy with multimedia that engages, not just entertains
Earlier this month, Excelsior College launched a highly interactive, media-rich Online Writing Lab (OWL) and opened it up for free to the public.
If the more than 20 college campuses already incorporating the OWL haven't proven its effectiveness, the Evaluation Consortium at the University of Albany has; its nationwide pilot study found the OWL boosted final student grades by 5 points.
The secret to the OWL's success lies in its ability to bridge pedagogy with multimedia that engages, not just entertains.
When the team at Excelsior College set out to build a new kind of Online Writing Lab, the team focused on using multimedia to reinforce key writing concepts for students. The OWL targets beginning writers who might have little experience with writing or experience so distant the writing process and vocabulary of writing felt foreign to them.
The goal was to make writing instruction simple, clear, and more memorable for these students.

Issue: Fostering Connections to Success Act
The legislation provides states with options to extend foster care coverage for certain children and impacts the processing of child abuse and neglect cases.
The Conference of State Court Administrators supported passage of the Uninterrupted Scholars Act. (COSCA Resolution 12-M-3)
The following are highlights of Public Law 110-351:
Requires states to make reasonable efforts to (1) place siblings in the same foster care placement and, (2) in cases where the siblings are placed together, to provide for frequent visitation or on-going interaction between the siblings.
The Fostering Connections to Success Act (HR 6307) was introduced by Representative Jim McDermott (D-WA) on 6/19/08 and approved by the House on 6/24/08. The House and Senate negotiated a compromise bill (HR 6893), which the President signed on 10/7/08, making it Public Law 110-351. On 7/9/10, the Children's Bureau issued a Program Instruction (ACYF-CB-PI-10-11) to provide states with guidance on implementation of Public Law 110-351.
The authorization for the Fostering Connections Act expired effective 8/30/13. On 6/26/14, the leadership of the House Ways and Means Committee and the Senate Finance Committee announced bi-partisan agreement on a new bill, Preventing Sex Trafficking and Strengthening Families Act (H.R. 4980). The legislation included a 1-year extension for the Family Connections grants. Congress approved the legislation prior to their fall recess. On 9/29/14, the President signed H.R. 4980 making it P.L. 113-183.
The President's FY 2016 request included $15M for the Family Connection grant program. Neither the House nor Senate Appropriation Committee FY 2016 recommendations include funds for this grant program.
The Family First Prevention Services Act of 2016 (H.R. 5456/S. 3065) includes a provision that would allow states to receive federal reimbursement for up to 50 percent of the state's expenditures on kinship navigator programs that meet the evidence-base requirements of promising, supported, or well-supported practices.

Staff and volunteers have been praised for putting the region's ambulance service at the top of the league for its response to the most critically ill of patients.
The East of England Ambulance Service NHS Trust was the best performing ambulance service in England for its response to Red 1 calls in February, according to new figures which run a month behind.
The latest ambulance quality indicators, published by NHS England, reveal the Trust responded to 77.7% of the most time critical 999 calls within eight minutes. The target is 75% and the national average for ambulance services in February was 72%.
It is a marked improvement for the service which has turned things around in the space of a year. In February 2014, EEAST was one of the worst performing ambulance services for Red 1 performance at 70.8%.
Anthony Marsh, EEAST chief executive, said he was delighted with the latest performance figures.
"This is further evidence of how much the Trust has improved over the last year, despite an increase in demand, which is thanks to the dedication and hard work of all our staff and volunteers," he said.
"We know we have more to do to hit all our performance targets and that is why we are hiring and training hundreds more student paramedics this year to replicate last year's recruitment drive and offering our existing front-line staff opportunities to gain new skills."
The Trust received more than 1,200 Red 1 calls in February, which includes cardiac arrests when a patient is not breathing and has no pulse.
Overall, more than 23,000 Red 2 calls were received in the same month, which includes patients who are suffering suspected strokes or serious breathing problems. More than 66% of those received a response in under eight minutes – the Trust's best performance on Red 2 in a year.
The latest ambulance quality indicators, can be viewed online.

How does Travelan work?
Travelan's active ingredient is Bovine Colostrum Powder, a rich source of antibodies that bind to ETEC in the gastrointestinal tract, preventing them from attaching to the intestinal wall and thereby neutralising their ability to cause Travellers Diarrhoea and its associated symptoms.
When do I take Travelan?
Take one Travelan caplet immediately before every meal. Travelan should be used as an adjunct to normal travel hygiene practices: such as "Boil it, cook it, peel it."
It will also work when taken soon after food or drink. Additional caplets may be taken when increased cover is required, eg. when snacking between meals or if circumstances suggest an increased risk of infection.
Has Travelan been clinically tested?
Yes. Travelan has undergone independent double-blinded, placebo-controlled clinical trials in Europe and the USA.
The trials showed protection of up to 90% against infection with the type of E.coli that causes TD. In addition, trials showed a significant reduction in abdominal cramps and stomach pain compared to those who did not receive Travelan. There were no reported side effects in the clinical trials.
