I'm jumping on the Throwback Thursday bandwagon (#tbt) and posting this image of me with a patchwork quilt I made many years ago. It was the second quilt I'd ever made, a wedding gift for a friend.
Of all the printmaking techniques for fabric, sun printing has to be one of the most fun. It's truly magical to watch the "prints" develop right before your eyes. All the printmaking supplies you need are the sun, stencils or objects to "resist" the light, fabric, and a chemical solution that reacts to UV light.
In my journey as a quilter, I have learned much about design principles. I'm always pleasantly surprised by how you can create unlimited quilt designs from the same blocks or shapes simply by changing the colors or the scale.
Many fiber artists use a sketchbook to collect ideas, record textures, try out layouts, and even sketch. But how do you transfer drawings you love to your fabric designs? One way is to make a stamp for printing on fabric.
Why did I ever take up quilting? Necessity! I was 16 years old and redecorating my impossibly small bedroom.
I know quilters who enjoy piecing quilts and quilters who enjoy free-motion stitching quilts. But I don't know too many whose favorite part of quilting is cutting the fabric--especially if they're preparing to make a large patchwork quilt. Cutting takes a long time and it can be back-breaking work.
I must have dozens of textural novelty yarns that I couldn't resist buying--or taking off of someone else's hands. I use them most often in my prayer flags and nest quilt designs, along with other snippets of fibers.
When anyone asks me how to make quilts with free-form, contemporary designs, I often want tell them I can sum it up in two words: trial and error.
Right now, I'm looking for quick quilting projects to make. Running through the file of quilting ideas I keep in my head, I remembered these sweet little free-motion stitched stockings by Diane Rusin Doran from Quilting Arts Gifts 2011.
I always love to hear how people began quilting. Did they make their first patchwork quilt at their grandmother's knee? Did they get bored and take a class that led to a passion? Did a friend drag them to a quilt show, and they were hooked?
I have a long history of finding, buying, hoarding, and using Japanese fabric. I can't bear to part with even the tiniest scrap. I am always looking to incorporate a piece in my patchwork projects.
What does "modern quilting" mean? There are a lot of opinions on what modern quilting is—and isn't. But one thing's for sure, modern patchwork quilting is hot right now.
The first time I laid eyes on Malka Dubrawsky's quilts a few years back, I sat up and took notice. Now, here was someone who was taking basic patchwork quilt blocks and giving them a fresh and contemporary spin using color and freehand cutting and piecing.
In this free eBook, Free-Motion Machine Quilting Techniques: 81 Tips for Free-Motion Quilting, Thread Sketching and Quilting Motifs, three highly respected quilt artists, Frieda Anderson, Robbi Joy Eklow, and Susan Brubaker Knapp share their knowledge and expertise for successful free‑motion quilting and thread sketching.
I'm past the stage where I am making baby quilts for my children. This picture shows the first baby quilt I ever made-for my baby Sam (now 13 years old). I love that this quilt is worn and stained. I love that it is well-used and cherished, and that it carries my special message to my baby boy written on the label.

Several apps have recently gained heavy traction and have built a community based on the principle of being able to freely express yourself candidly and honestly, all while keeping your identity anonymous. Apps like FireChat, Secret, and Whisper all allow users to use their platforms and provide an environment where introverts can feel free to become more social, where a seemingly quiet person can reveal their true personalities, and where anyone can publish their innermost feelings without a big fear of revealing their true identity. Some provide a messaging layer so likeminded people can connect with each other. Considering you can post behind a pseudonym, this new wave of apps takes on the ambiguous community personality of sites like Reddit and Hacker News.
Some think this can be bad morally, and some believe these services can thrive for good because they provide an outlet and community that has a fundamentally different thesis than the traditional communication services we all use like Twitter and Facebook. It all boils down to the quality of content. Reducing the amount of posts related to solicitation, slander, vulgar hate, and general spam, will reveal truly expressive and emotional insights from those all around us. And it's happening. Secret has published a set of guidelines they hope the community can follow and, like neighborhood patrol, moderate the posts. Secret itself delivers posts based on popularity and degree of connection to you (friends, friends of friends) so not everyone will see the same content. Apps like Whisper and FireChat don't, but the user can filter content by all/everyone, or by those near you geographically. When browsing Popular posts on Whisper, I could instantly tell a difference in tone versus posts in Latest and Nearby, and that's due in part because of the community upvoting more worthy content. FireChat itself can be an extremely useful platform, using some innovative technology to back up message delivery. On your first visit, you get dumped into an "Everyone" chatroom, and messages about sex and solicitation begin flying in. Toggling to the "Nearby" room revealed that I was the only one around my area using the service at the time. Understandably, it's still a young service, but the impact it could have for certain use cases where getting a data connection can be difficult, like concerts and natural disasters can prove to be significant.
It'll be interesting to see how these services mature and whether or not they can provide an outlet that fosters and embraces an anonymous community without the unwanted noise. To me, it seems that they're all still experimenting and are on a path to hopefully encourage more supportive, meaningful, and therapeutic conversation.
Yesterday's $2B acquisition of Oculus VR by Facebook helped reinforce the future of computing shifting to more immersive platforms, but it also spotlighted the impact of crowdfunding platforms like Kickstarter. The 5 year old startup has lent a hand in introducing the world to new and creative projects from hardware and software to feature length films. Take a look at their most funded projects of all time and you'll instantly see the wide ranging types of successfully funded ideas.
The benefit to raising money on Kickstarter? For one, it generates funds without transferring any equity. Assuming the project reaches your goal, you gain your estimated runway to get you started on realizing your concepts, all without worrying about going out to raise capital at such an early stage in the product's development. Additionally, you get a good idea of your product's potential demand. Say you reach 100% of your goal, great! There's enough anticipation for what you plan to offer. In the case of Oculus, they were 974% funded, a clear sign that there's a definite want and need for what you're offering. They raised $2.5 million on Kickstarter when they were only looking for $250K. The money raised allowed them to focus on their product and later raise additional capital from VCs ($16M in Series A, then an additional $75M Series B). There's no doubt that the success of their Kickstarter campaigned contributed to their valuation.
Other successfully funded projects:
By no means is a successful campaign on Kickstarter or any other crowdfunding platform an indicator of whether or not the project will be successful once it's released, or whether or not it will even come to fruition. That'll be based on the hard work of the creator and the support they garner before, during, and post funding. But the power of the crowdfunding community is supportive and enthusiastic enough to help any creator get started on realizing their ideas and dreams. Crowdfunding helps give a projects some legs, and then it's up to the creators to see what they can do after that.
Where will Oculus go now that it's part of Facebook? Who knows, but Mark Zuckerberg has ambitious plans to help accelerate growth and tap into some unrealized potentials beyond gaming.
Getting the Invite
On July 30, while catching up on the day's tech news, I saw a bunch of posts all mentioning that current Google Glass Explorers were receiving emails from the Glass team, allowing them to invite a friend. So I quickly asked my Glass Explorer-friends for an invite. I sent a message to my buddies Monica and Megan, who were both chosen to be Explorers during the #ifihadglass contest. Luckily, Monica had an invite, and filled out the survey recommending me to join the program. A couple of days later, I received an email from Glass Support welcoming me to join, with the following requirements:
I went through the appointment scheduling and purchase process and I was set to pick up Glass at Google SFO that Saturday. Though I live in LA and had the option to go to Google's office in Venice, I had already planned to fly up to SF that weekend.The Pickup
My appointment was scheduled for 10:30am. After grabbing some coffee, my girlfriend and I drove into the city to pick up Glass. We arrived about 15 minutes early, parked the car, and headed into the building. We were led to the 5th floor to a dedicated Glass "space." After checking-in, we were greeted by a guide, offered drinks and snacks, and went to a lounge-type area with several kiosk-type stations made up of a mirror and 5 hanging Glass units (1 of each color). Here, I could try on all of the colors (Shale, Tangerine, Cotton, Sky, and Charcoal) and choose the one I wanted. I was debating between Shale and Charcoal, and after a few minutes, I went with Shale, my original selection, and was then led to one of several setup tables in the room.
These tables were extremely minimalist, supporting only 3 things: a Glass bag (with 2 pairs of lenses inside), a Chromebook Pixel, and a standing mirror, much like what you would use at an optometrist. Once the unit arrived, it was time for the unboxing. After pulling off the cover and slowly peeling off the glued-on sheet (cue the harmonious "AHHHHH" sound effect), I saw Glass sitting on top of a printed diagram, pointing out what each button on the device was meant to do. We then went through everything else in the box: charger & cable, extra nose pads, and some instructional reading material.
Next, we began to set up Glass. I powered it on and was helped adjusting and fitting it so that the titanium band would go across my brow, while the prism rested just above my line of sight. Then, I logged onto "MyGlass," what eventually would become my dashboard for Glass. We went through the UI, paired the Glass to my iPhone via bluetooth, and set up wifi. Note: Android users have the leg-up here with the ability to use turn-by-turn directions, SMS, and screencasting via the dedicated MyGlass app on their phones. You'll need to tether Glass to your phone via bluetooth in order to access data or you'll be limited to wifi hotspots. Next, we covered how to operate and navigate Glass using the touchpad and voice commands. After answering my remaining questions, we wrapped up the session by walking out on the balcony overlooking the Embarcadero and the Bay Bridge to take a few photos and videos. Overall, the entire appointment took about an hour, but covered in-depth, all I would need to know to operate Glass.
Exploring With Glass
With Glass on and looking more like a cyborg than ever, we set out into the public to get lunch at the Ferry Building. The reactions were mostly stares and double takes after passing us, but my girlfriend noticed that a few people saying things like "Google Glass!" and "That's Glass!" None of which I heard because I was too focused on weaving around the crowds lining the heavily-trafficked pier. After lunch, we headed back home and decided to go pedal boating out on the lagoon. The lady managing the boat rental immediately noticed Glass, even with the sunglasses attachment on, and asked to get a better understanding of Glass. Once we headed out into the water, I used Glass to take a few pictures and realized that I didn't really notice it as an intrusive device. I could snap photos/videos with my voice, never having to reach into my pocket and grab my phone. I was able to effortlessly pedal and steer the boat while simultaneously documenting the experience.
Now What?
It hasn't been a full week yet, but since picking up Glass, I've used it to take photos/videos, send emails, take calls, tweet, check weather and flight details (via Google Now), and view headlines. Two days after getting Glass, I had my first OTA software update (XE8), which typically happens about once a month, introducing new features and functionality. It's great to see the progress the Glass team is making, getting the product ready for market. For instance, the latest update introduced volume control and additional video player functionality (play, pause, scrubbing), features that would seem to be staple in any media device, but with rumors that they're preparing to bring YouTube onto Glass, it makes much more sense. There is a shortage of apps, or "Glassware," but that's to be expected on such a new platform. That's not to say no one is building apps, there certainly are, but there are only a select few apps you can activate from MyGlass. I've even gotten an invite to beta test an app for Everlapse. It'll take a while for me and other Explorers to discover some new and disruptive use cases for Glass, but my initial prediction is that it can be a great utility.
I recently took a trip to Hawaii and while I was planning, I was thinking about the camera gear I wanted to bring with me. My typical bag for a trip consists of: 5DM2 body, 50mm f/1.4, and 17-40 f/4.
After hearing about BorrowLenses.com from some friends, I thought it would be worth a shot to rent a lens (35mm f/1.4) I've been wanting to use for years, but have never committed to saving up the funds to buy. I've seen great pictures come out of this lens from other owners and I had really wanted to take advantage of it for my trip to such a scenic destination. I went to the site, looked up the lens, added it to my cart, and quickly realized that I might want to take underwater photos too. So I added a small Canon PowerShot underwater camera as well.
A package arrived at my house with the lens and camera, individually bagged, securely encapsulated by packing sponge. This is the same box you would ship the contents back in for return. When I got back from the trip, I repackaged it, stuck on the pre-paid shipping label, and dropped it off at a local FedEx Kinkos.
The entire process from ordering to returning was extremely seamless. I was able to use a lens that I have been considering purchasing, for only ~$10/day, and an underwater camera for ~$5/day. It definitely helped me decide whether or not to go through with purchasing the lens, but also showed that if I ever needed a lens or other gear for a short period of time, I could just rent it and save myself a ton of money. These would be things I would consider using for rare shots, like a fisheye, tilt-shift, or supertelephoto.
The marketplace for peer-to-peer borrowing/renting items will become a booming area of commerce. Startups like Getable and Borrow will cover a wide variety of stuff. More niche companies like AirBnB and Getaround focus on specific verticals. In any case, the future looks bright for the try-before-you-buy-it type of consumer. If only the mobile app marketplace could do the same…
During today's WP8 and Nokia Lumia announcement, a wireless charging feature was unveiled. And on top of that, a partnership with both Virgin Atlantic and The Coffee Bean (and more partners planned), where airport lounges and tabletops will implement wireless charging abilities for device owners.
If this works well in terms of infrastructure, feasibility, budget, and overall user-satisfaction, this might help to propel ubiquitous charging stations to appear in places we wouldn't really think about. For example, The Coffee Bean will install plates in their tables so patrons would just set their phones on the table (something we all already do), and their device would start charging while you enjoy your coffee. When you pick up your phone and leave, you've just added x % battery life. It's simple and if it works properly, the user shouldn't expect anything, but be delighted when they see that their device suddenly has an increase in battery.
Imagine this becoming more widespread. Not only masking charging stations like within your car's center console or in park benches at Disneyland (one of the many places where my battery tends to drain the most), but in other devices like laptops and cameras. No more scrambling around LAX terminals looking for power outlets or waiting in line for charging hub stations if each chair at the gate can provide some juice. I've tripped over a laptop cable or two in cafes before, and I'm pretty sure this could be some sort of fire hazard with cables running all over the place.
Companies like Mophie and Powermat (Duracell) are already helping push similar technologies out everywhere, but an announcement like this definitely helps the effort. Hopefully next week's iPhone announcement will reveal similar technology, because like many out there, I wouldn't mind trading for a fatter iPhone, as long as the battery life increases.
About 2 weeks ago, Betaworks announced they were acquiring Digg for about $500k. Let that sink in for a bit. A company that has taken in about $45M in funding (CrunchBase), who has turned down acquisition offers from giants like Yahoo and Google, sold for what many startups aim to raise in an angel/friends & family round. John Borthwick and company have an audacious vision to turn Digg around.
Digg was messy. It was losing traction, getting spammed, and users were flocking to other properties like Reddit and Canvas. New services like Percolate were started to deliver popular news stories. Using resources from News.me, the team of 10 rewrote Digg from the ground up. They wiped the existing codebase, including algorithms that determined Digg scores and indexing. They built the service to fit in and run with the current and next generation of web services. What ended up happening was something completely ambitious. They launched in 6 weeks.
6 weeks! If you've worked at a startup, you'll know that 6 weeks to build and launch a site that has an existing user base in the millions is rough. We try to push out a few new features and updates every week or two, but when we decided to rewrite our site from the ground up, it took us much longer than 6 weeks, granted the scope, scale, and complexity of Digg and any other site is variable. So a huge pat on the back for the team at Digg, because what they did in that short amount of time is tremendous.
Along the way, the team posted an update on their progress. They were nuking a lot of features, and focusing the product newswire-type content like Top Stories, Popular, and Upcoming. They were making product decisions for launch that many have begun complaining about like the absence of a commenting system. What people don't understand is that these were decisions FOR LAUNCH. The team doesn't want to put out crappy features that might be prone to errors and abuse. They'll have commenting and better social features, but they'll be available once the team feels like they're ready to be used. If there's one thing Digg is stressing, it's that they're a new service and any and all feedback on existing and future features will be taken into consideration. This is only version 1, and I'm sure they've got plenty of things in the pipeline for future updates.
The new site is extremely simplistic and lightweight. The team is determined. Mistakes and innovations will be made, but remember that this won't be the same Digg that we all once knew. Good luck, there are a lot of us cheering you on.
The Opening Ceremonies are happening now, live in London. The problem? NBC is forcing those in the US to wait until primetime, 7:30PM and watch it as a pre-recorded event. The Olympics this year will have a huge presence on social media. Twitter has a dedicated page for #Olympics where content is being curated by people like Hope Solo, Michael Phelps, and LeBron James. Everyone who is able to watch/participate in the event is tweeting and posting on Twitter and Facebook in real-time (see LeBron's tweet), and those of us in the US who can't, are left in the dark.

Meanwhile, NBC is tweeting spoilers and now I know that the Queen and James Bond are in the show. Hopefully NBC will realize this was one huge missed opportunity. And judging by the complaints on the Internet, they just might reconsider airing the closing ceremonies live, or at least offer a livestream.

Deputies respond to High View Drive home to find baby not breathing
By Sally Voth -- firstname.lastname@example.com
MAURERTOWN -- The Thursday afternoon death of a newborn has left residents on High View Drive shocked and saddened.
Shenandoah County Sheriff Timothy C. Carter said the 3-month-old baby boy was pronounced dead at Shenandoah Memorial Hospital shortly before 2 p.m. Thursday.
A news release from the Sheriff's Office says that deputies responded to 79 High View Drive for a report of a baby not breathing.
Resuscitation attempts were made at the scene, according to Shenandoah County Fire and Rescue Chief Gary Yew, who wasn't on the call.
An autopsy will be performed, and investigators sought the advice of the medical examiner's office in Richmond regarding processing the scene, Carter said. He said the boy's mother is being fully cooperative.
"Hopefully, we will know a little more [Friday]," he said.
A 14-year-old girl made the call for help, Carter said.
Late Thursday afternoon, Sheriff's Office investigators were still at the home, a tidy ranch with a well-kept yard.
Thursday's tragic events saddened Gladys and Wesley Stinson, who live across the street. Mrs. Stinson was getting clothes off a line when she noticed fire and rescue vehicles arrive.
"When I seen a deputy pull over there, I told my husband, 'Something's not right,'" she said. "And then a real good friend of mine ... told me that the baby had died."
Mrs. Stinson, a bus driver for Shenandoah County Public Schools, said two children who live in the home are on her route.
"They told me when the baby was born," she said. "They were real excited about the baby. They're extremely good kids."
The Stinsons hadn't seen the baby, and didn't know their neighbors well.
"[I] feel so sorry for them," Mrs. Stinson said. "It's very heartbreaking when it comes to a child, especially an infant child at that."
Her husband knows the pain of losing a child. His son, Terry, was killed by a drunk driver in December 1985. He was just 14.
"You never get over it," Stinson said.
The family hadn't lived in the home very long, said Phyllis Kipps, who lives next door to the Stinsons.
"They pretty well kept to themselves," she said.
Kipps said she'd wave at a boy who lives in the home and was friendly to her.
"It's sad," she said.
Yew said rescue workers may request a critical incident stress debriefing team to talk about the trauma of working on the infant.
"Its one of the toughest incidents fire and EMS providers can run," he said.

I used this with a mixed year 5 and 6 class. It's just a simple worksheet that gives pupils practice on converting between units of length. I explain the rule to them and then they got on with the worksheet for practice.

Aurisonics ASG-1 Rev 1.3
" I quite literally took a shot with these after the NY Meet. It was between these and the UE900s and I'm rather content with the decision, from the cable to the build, to the fit. Everything works. These are clearly stage monitors tuned so you can ear voices clearly and exact positioning of instruments. Because of this they have a great and slightly forward midrange.

Aurisonics Rockets Solo Precision Micro-Dynamic Noise Isolating In-Ear Headphones
"Have been using the rockets for a few days now and the sound is simply brilliant! Pretty hard to imagine such a small IEM or a small driver can pump up such a full bodied sound. Here are my short take on the rockets with some comparisons. Aurisonics Rockets: Lows: Low ends on the rockets are nicely done. Bass ain't overwhelming nor lacking. Bass hits with..." --xaddictionx
Etymotic ER-4P Portable In-Ear Earphones
" I'm surprised that no review has been written about those gems! The ER 4P/S is one of the best IEMs in the market value wise. They are made to last, they isolate like no other IEM and they have a unique flat frequency response which can be easily adjusted if you have a good equalizer or an integrated amp. The ER S will sound best when used with a powerful amp, it will provide an amazing sound..." --homeros8000

Etymotic MC5
"Etymotic Mc5 vs. Etymotic Hf5 Both are are very 'true to the ear' as Etymotic would say... both have amazing tri-flange eartips for superb noise isolation, best in the business actually... and both led me to feel that clarity was an essential part of my music, perhaps even more so than dynamic bass and shiny treble... but in the end, well, lets just save it for the end, shall we? Mc5 Fullness..." --stevenswall
Etymotic Research ER4B MicroPro Binaural In-Ear Earphones
" Nothing, not even a full-sized headphone, comes close to ER-4B in terms of tonal accuracy(diffuse-field). How accurate is it? Its target response is almost same as the one from the most up-to date study on the eardrum response in a diffuse-field. Although this product is advertised for binaural recordings only, it is basically same as ER-4S with the lack of room attenuation at the high..." --udauda

• Regret: What will you regret if you fail to act and are wrong? The more serious the potential regret, the sooner you should make your decision.
Oliver Durrer's curator insight, October 22, 5:43 AM
Decision making is a key "make or break it" component to entrepreneurship. Here's a good systematical approach to effective high-stakes decision making. The more you systematize your decision making, the more efficient and effective it will become. No need to reinvent the process.
Matthew Farmer's curator insight, October 22, 1:23 AM
There are those that thrive on being out of their comfort zone and those that don't like to move anywhere outside of it. Personally I think that you need to be in both places at different times. Sometimes people need to consolidate who they are and where they are, gaining confidence from a feeling of growing competence gathered from being fairly within one's zone of comfort.
However it can be too easy to get stuck there, and where learning is concerned, there is undoubtedly rich potential when we sail out into new and unfamiliar waters - provided that is that we take time to reflect!
donhornsby's curator insight, October 22, 1:48 PM
(From the article): Indeed, it is a leader's job to address issues as they arise. If we choose to avoid conflict at any price, the price may be far greater than we are willing to pay. The impact of conflict avoidance can ripple throughout the organization and cripple the future growth and success of the business. So, embrace conflict resolution. After all, conflict can be very healthy, too. It is often how we get the best answers to the toughest questions.

Nice article on Story telling - Great stories inspire. They invoke wonder and provoke engagement. They spark the connection that lights the fire of passion.
David Hain's curator insight, October 21, 2:30 AM
We all need meaning and context It's hard to make meaning as a leader without telling stories. Some great perspectives here on how to do that.

At last weeks CIPD event in Cardiff, I talked about Zappos approach to employee engagement and when compared to Netflix, the similarities are interesting.....personal responsibility and pride in the brand.
David Hain's curator insight, October 23, 8:25 AM
Pretty good advice for managing cock-ups in the real world too!
donhornsby's curator insight, October 24, 7:43 AM
(From the article): Becoming a Transformational Leader can be hard work. Why? Because it involves dealing with people. Sure. You are still accountable for results, but as a leader you need to get them in an entirely different way than you did as an individual contributor. Being an effective leader means that you need to spend a significant time helping your Team members by being a good coach, motivator and strategic planner.
Ivon Prefontaine's curator insight, October 21, 9:57 PM
I am reading Arne Naess' work on deep ecology. Most of what we do is superficial. It takes hard work to go deep.
Becky Willmoth's curator insight, October 22, 7:27 AM
Individuals who truly know themselves develop a frame for their values, strengths, passion and vision. This knowledge enables them to lead with authenticity and integrity, creating a connection with and commitment from those around them. Leaders that lack this self awareness are more like to behave inconsistently, eroding trust and undermining their leadership effectiveness.
donhornsby's curator insight, October 22, 8:47 AM
(From the article): Teams need encouragement to take little risks that feel big.
Little risks lead to brave steps which lead to bold work which lead to breakthrough results.
Encourage them. Please.
The world needs more brave doers.
David Hain's curator insight, October 23, 12:41 AM
Horses teach us that the leadership process is a blend of leading and following. Interesting observations from Sytske Casimir.
David Hain's curator insight, October 17, 2:59 AM
The latest neuroscience research explains exactly how to inspire people to follow where you lead.
Joe Boutte's curator insight, October 17, 6:04 AM
Be a mirror! By displaying confidence and competence, along with other leadership characteristics, we can affect how others see themselves. Being a positive influence and example goes a long way in everyday leadership.

Respond to Review of Vegetariano Zukini
by jrfishe1
Review: Like a lot of vegan food in Colombia, some of the dishes here (the "curries") were pretty bland. But the "ham" empanada was good and panela cake and soups were all good, and I give them lots of points for knowing what "vegano" means. We took our guide here (his first vegan meal) and he liked it. Crowded for lunch. It's sort of a buffet but they serve you and give you choices on which items you want.

The news continues to worsen for the Georgia Tech men's basketball team. Forward Robert Carter, Jr.–who had knee surgery to repair a torn meniscus on Tuesday–was listed as being out indefinitely. Now head coach Brian Gregory says there is only a slim chance that Carter will be able to return to action this season.
Gregory said Carter will be evaluated over the next several weeks, but that priority is going to be given to making sure Carter's future is protected and his knee is healthy.
"There's a slight, very slight, possibility he might be able to play this year, but in my opinion we're going to err on the side of caution when we're dealing with a guy like Rob who has such a bright future," Gregory told the Associated Press.
The sophomore was leading the ACC with 9.3 rebounds per game, as well as scoring 10.3 points per game prior to his injury in a game against Charlotte on Dec. 29, the last game before the Yellow Jackets began conference play.
Since Carter's injury, Tech has lost two straight conference games by double-digit margins, and has was outrebounded for the first time this season in a 79-57 loss to the Duke Blue Devils.
The retooling of the team has been a difficult task, given the season-ending injuries to Travis Jorgensen and Corey Heyward, and now potentially losing Carter for the rest of the season as well. In a season that was supposed to be a turnaround year for the young Jackets, they are now staring down the barrel of perhaps their worst season since Gregory took over in 2011.
"You lose the ACC's leading rebounder and now it's everybody — it's not Daniel, it's not (Stephens) it's not Kam — it's everybody. We need our guards engaged and we need every tip-tap rebound." Gregory said.
The right mix has to come soon, or things will spiral downward in a hurry. Tech plays their ACC home opener on Saturday against a very physical Notre Dame team.
Here is coach Gregory's Jan. 9th press conference

AFTER HOURS by THE VELVET UNDERGROUND
The Velvet Underground was an American rock band formed in New York City. First active from 1965 to 1973, their best-known members were Lou Reed and John Cale, who both went on to find success as solo artists. Although never commercially successful while together, the band is often cited by many critics as one of the most important and influential groups of the 1960s.
The Velvet Underground were managed by Andy Warhol and were the house band at his studio the Factory and for his Exploding Plastic Inevitable events. The provocative lyrics of some of the band's songs gave a nihilistic outlook to some of their music.
Their 1967 debut album, titled The Velvet Underground & Nico (which featured German singer Nico, with whom the band collaborated) was named the 13th Greatest Album of All Time, and the "most prophetic rock album ever made" by Rolling Stone in 2003.In 2004, Rolling Stone ranked the band #19 on its list of the "100 Greatest Artists of All Time".

Television Has Gone Retro
So now that you've bought that brand new 60-inch 3D capable 1-inch thick LED/LCD television for your living room, what's next? Looks like the guys at LG are going back to the future with their latest TV.
The retro-styled LG Serie 1 television doesn't just look like an old set, it actually uses good old CRT technology. No schmancy flat screens here, just a old-fashioned 4:3 aspect ratio cathode ray tube for you to watch your reruns of I Love Lucy on.
The set features a 14-inch diagonal screen, complete with rabbit-ear antennae and chrome legs. It even has old-school knobs for changing channels and adjusting volume. However, this set has a modern digital tuner, composite video for your retro video game console, and a wireless remote so it's not completely antique tech.
For extra fun, you can flip the television between full color, black & white and sepia tone modes:
The sets are available in the orange color shown above (model 14SR1EB) and a dark brown (model 14SR1DB). At this point the LG Serie 1 Retro Classic TV is currently only available in Korea, where it currently retails for appx. $216.00 USD.
The Green Hornet was a television series shown on the ABC US television network. It aired for the 1966-1967 television season and starred Van Williams as the Green Hornet/Britt Reid, and Bruce Lee as Kato.
This Halloween stop-animation film came out in 1967. With all of today's technology, Hollywood still can't come close to the magic of films like this.
COMIN' HOME, BABY by MEL TORME (aka. The Velvet Fog)
Melvin Howard Tormé (September 13, 1925 – June 5, 1999), nicknamed "The Velvet Fog", was an American musician, known for his jazz singing. He was also a composer and arranger, a drummer, an actor in radio, film, and television, and the author of five books. He co-wrote the classic holiday song "The Christmas Song" (also known as "Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire") with Bob Wells.
Tormé wrote more than 250 songs, several of which became jazz standards. One of his best known songs is "Comin' Home Baby", a 1960 martini-swinger-type melody and has been covered by several world renown recording artist as well as used in movies.
ISRAELITES by DESMOND DEKKER
Desmond Dekker (July 16, 1941—May 25, 2006) was a Jamaican ska, rocksteady and reggae singer-songwriter and musician.
Together with his backing group, The Aces, he had one of the first international Jamaican hits with "Israelites". Other hits include "007 (Shanty Town)" (1967) and "It Miek" (1969).
Before the ascent of Bob Marley, Dekker was one of the most popular musicians within Jamaica, and one of the best-known musicians outside it.

Police: Woman resists arrest after hitting tree
A New Braunfels woman taking an early-morning ride Wednesday in Landa Park was arrested on charges of driving while intoxicated after she smashed her vehicle into a tree.
"About 12:26 a.m., officers were dispatched out to the Landa Park area for a report of a crash involving a motor vehicle and a tree," New Braunfels Police Lt. John McDonald said. "Officers found the vehicle, a Ford Taurus, which had extensive damage to the front and to the undercarriage.

A possible fix for slow SSH connections | 30 comments | Create New Account
The following comments are owned by whoever posted them. This site is not responsible for what they say.
A possible fix for slow SSH connections
... i think you could change 'VerifyReverseMapping yes' to 'VerifyReverseMapping no' in /etc/sshd_config on the host computer. But i'm not sure...
A possible fix for slow SSH connections
Changing the line
will also fix the delay. Because I'm the only ssh user on my system, I've also added the line
to etc -> sshd_config
You may also want to create an etc -> hosts.deny containing
to stop all incoming connections. To enable ssh logins, create etc -> hosts.allow,
I'm not sure this is the best solution, but it works. It blocks all incoming connections except ssh. All ssh connections get passed to the ssh daemon, which allows only the user "myShortUsername" to connect, and there is no delay due to reverse name lookups.
A possible fix for slow SSH connections
That would be in ssh_config not sshd_config. sshd_config controls the local daemon.
sshd_config vs. ssh_config
What would be in ssh_config? VerifyReverseMapping and AllowUsers keywords are only valid in sshd_config.

VCT Over CutBack
RE: VCT Over CutBack
No moisture limit but a pH limit?
As moisture moves through a slab the pH level can rise. So initially, you may have high moisture emission but a low (or relatively low pH especially if the surface is carbonated) pH reading.
Adding a second layer of flooring or a flooring with a very low permeability will often cause a build up of moisture and a corresponding increase in alkalinity at the adhesive bond horizon.
The flooring manufacturer then is called to investigate the subsequent failure, peels back the flooring, dips a test strip in the wet slimy adhesive and smugly states the pH is too high!!!
I've seen this happen all too often. Realistically we need to be concerned with the moisture in a slab first and foremost, because with low moisture, pH and/or alkalinity is not going to be an issue.

Dear officers and researchers of the Taxpayers' Alliance,
It does not make me at all happy to have to write this letter. I have been a vocal and admiring supporter of your organization since its inception and have even blogged about its work, here and here.
The boss, on the other hand, has attacked you on a number of occasions and accused you of not really understanding the EU and its ramifications. I know you don't like those attacks and I don't blame you. When the boss goes into battle fur flies. I also know that in private conversation many of you say that, of course, you do understand that VAT is an EU tax and campaigning against one bit of it is a waste of time but it is a good thing to get people worked up about one issue so they can progress to others. Somehow the second half of it never happens but that's politics.
So, let's move on to recent developments. A little while ago you announced that together with Global Vision you were intending to raise the issue of "Europe" in the run-up to the elections in June. An admirable thing to do though the first effort of that campaign, another poll that showed most of those asked wanting "a loosening of ties with the EU", was, as the boss explained an example of fudging the issue. To put it bluntly, it ain't on offer.
Changing the terms of our membership requires a re-writing of the treaties and that requires an IGC, which has to reach a unanimous agreement. To reach that we have to offer something in return for that ill-defined looser membership. I doubt if the people asked in that poll know this and I am reasonably sure that they were not told by the pollsters.
Ah but it raises their consciousness (to use a Marxist term). Perhaps, but to use false arguments achieves nothing and puts the cause in jeopardy. If the other side lies and we lie, why should people choose our lies over theirs?
So we come to your latest effort in matters European – campaigning about the CFP. I welcome everyone who joins the anti-CFP campaign. All of us, veterans of the fight, do so. As it happens I couldn't get to your demo outside the European Parliament building in Queen Anne's Gate (why the European Parliament of all the institutions?) but it looked jolly. Maybe I should have gone for the t-shirt – my very old Save Britain's Fish shirt has finally given up the ghost.
You have also produced a report on the sorry state of affairs in the fishing industry, one that was mentioned in various media outlets. I recall previous reports being mentioned in the very same outlets and the same shock-horror tone being adopted. But, actually, I must be wrong. Because this is, according to your blurb, the first full report on the Common Fisheries Policy and the effect it has had on the industry and the state of the fish supply.
Now this puzzled me. Because I recall doing many research papers and briefings on the subject, some of which included figures; I recall attending a huge rally of fishermen in Central Hall many years ago; taking part in numerous, packed-to-the-rafts fringe meetings at party conferences at which the speakers produced much information and many figures; being a speaker in debates on the subject; reading well grounded and carefully calculated reports by Save Britain's Fish; questions and debates in both Houses of Parliament. Clearly, none of this happened; nobody did any research and nobody managed to produce any figures before. I began to wonder whether I existed at all.
So I spoke to one or two people and was assured that yes, I did exist and yes, all those events did take place. There were research papers and meetings and debates; there was a carefully constructed policy paper by Owen Paterson, which had a good deal of input from the boss and which, unlike your own rather cautious report, actually offered alternative ideas (much debated by fishermen and their organizations); and yes, there was this book called The Great Deception that had a good deal about the CFP in it; and let's not even mention the many articles by Christopher Booker and postings on EUReferendum (far, far too many to link to but is easy enough to do through the search engine and just to whet your appetite, here is one).
I even telephoned Tom Hay the founder and first chairman of the Fishermen's Association Ltd up in Peterhead (where there is no snow). Yes, apparently he exists as well and remains a source of much information on the subject.
The point is not that you produce figures of your own (which seem a little thinly sourced, by the way) or that you give your own account of how the policy developed (which appears to leave certain crucial events out) but that you do not acknowledge those who had done the work before you. Acknowledging other people's work is not only courteous but sensible from your point of view: it looks better if your research can quote other sources.
I cannot help feeling that the campaign to raise awareness of Europe is a way of making the Conservative Party seem to be the real eurosceptic party for the European election in June. That, I suspect, is why you want to "own" the topic while making sure that discussion does not outrun the party's policy. Of course, I may be wrong but the timing, the refusal to refer to anyone before you and the timidity of the actual proposals (as well as the vagueness of the facts) all point in that direction.
It cannot have pleased you that the Boy-King of the Conservative Party decided to bring Ken Clarke back to the front bench (though in a surprisingly lowly position for someone who was once Chancellor of the Exchequer). That move has undercut all attempts to replace UKIP with the Conservative Party as the eurosceptics' preferred choice.
So, here is what I suggest. I shall not call on you to stick with subjects you deal with so supremely well – the public sector in this country, its bloated officials and the waste that goes with it. After all, if you do that, you may avoid Scylla but will hit Charybdis. It will be pointed out to you that a good deal of the expense you talk about is imposed on local councils by the EU and cannot be avoided. That, of course, does not apply to the fat-cat salaries and those non-jobs you write about.
My idea is that you continue the sterling work you have been doing on the public sector. Keep drumming it into people's minds that it is bloated, wasteful and useless; that its employees do not do the work out of the goodness of their hearts but get high salaries and excellent perks at our expense; that high taxes is not the way forward and it is possible to cut them and to cut the bureaucracy that stifles us at the same time.
However, may I humbly suggest that when you get to "European matters" you stop pretending that you own the subject? Look around you. A good deal of work has been done and is being done. Use it and acknowledge it. That is the way forward. We are all happy to answer questions and to give information. But none of us like being told that we do not exist and have never existed.

Freshfields scores a US touchdown

In the first interview since his firm merged with Clifford Chance, Larry Cranch, Rogers & Wells managing partner, tells Sean Farrell that this is no takeover.
No one has dared say it out loud, but reaction in the UK to Clifford Chance and Rogers & Wells' vote in favour of merger has treated the deal as Clifford Chance acquiring a US arm. But Larry Cranch, Rogers & Wells' managing partner, is keen to stress that this is not the case.
"One thing that was essential for us was to create a transaction and structure that reflected a real merger and the creation of a brand new firm, rather than an acquisition by Clifford Chance of a couple of other firms," he says.
It was a chance meeting between Cranch and Stephen Hood, Clifford Chance's New York managing partner, at a San Francisco conference in March last year that set the ball rolling. "We had had lunch several years before with Clifford Chance in New York, so when we found ourselves speaking at the same conference we came up and said hello," Cranch recalls.
"We walked back to the hotel after the dinner, and during that conversation I discussed the fact that we [Rogers & Wells] were facing an issue about our ability to afford the investment in our global office network. We were finding it difficult to compete with the global law firms such as Clifford Chance."
Hood replied that Clifford Chance was having trouble competing in New York for major transactions from its banking clients because the New York office could not provide enough support on the big deals in areas like tax, litigation and bankruptcy. "They felt if they had those practice areas they could capture a lot more business," says Cranch.
From this one late-night confessional the merger started to gather pace.
But the idea received a mixed reaction from Rogers & Wells' partners. "People in the cross-border securities area immediately thought it was a spectacular idea, but for people in the domestic litigation business the synergies weren't immediately apparent, though over time everybody in the firm has become very enthusiastic."
In any law firm merger, there are four big issues that need to be addressed, says Cranch - the name of the firm, compensation, governance and conflicts of interest. "We had issues in each of those categories and we were able to resolve them quite easily," he says.
"That is settled," Cranch says of the new firm's name, despite speculation that the US title - Clifford Chance Rogers & Wells - may not be set in stone.
When news of the merger talks leaked out, the reaction from rival firms was: "How are they going to reconcile those compensation structures?" Clifford Chance was a lockstep firm, paying its partners according to seniority, while Rogers & Wells was known for having one of the most "merit-based" systems that rewarded its go-getting rainmakers.
But the prospect of lockstep was an opportunity rather than a problem, according to Cranch. Rogers & Wells was a lockstep firm until the early 1990s, when it changed to its competitive pay system. "We felt that we had to provide very targeted incentives for partners to increase the revenues of the firm and go out and bring in new, important clients and, frankly, work harder."
By the end of last year, these targets had been achieved, says Cranch, but some aspects of the system were "counterproductive".
"It wasn't as efficient as we wanted it to be in fostering co-operation, team building and an institutional approach to clients. It fostered intense entrepreneurial behaviour, which was what we needed in terms of profitability and quality of clients, but we felt we wanted to move away from such an entrepreneurial system and towards a lockstep system."
But a move back to strict lockstep would have created losers at a firm where a few partners earn salaries that are five times higher than those of their colleagues'. Cranch admits it was senior management that wanted to make the move back.
The main objectors would be anti-trust partners Kevin Arquit and Steve Newborn, who were said to earn more than $2m a year each, and corporate rainmaker Martin Gibbs and IP litigator John Kidd who were not far behind in the pay stakes.
"It's true, we did have to build in flexibility which allowed us to compensate our higher producers at their current levels, because there is a market here and you have to react to that."
Apart from Cranch's position as regional managing partner of the Americas, the senior posts in the new firm have gone to Clifford Chance partners. Both global practice heads announced so far - Stuart Popham and David Childs as heads of finance and corporate respectively - are from the UK firm. But two of the three remaining practice heads will be Rogers & Wells partners, says Cranch
Cranch says: "We are now partners with a say in how the firm is governed, with significant inclusion of Rogers & Wells and Punders in the governance of the new firm."
There were two other important points that were conditions of the merger on the US side. Rogers & Wells partners will keep the flexible terms that allow them to leave the firm at short notice, rather than adopting Clifford Chance's restricted covenant, which is understood to include a year's gardening leave. "There is no concept of gardening leave in the US and it is not enforceable," says Cranch. "It wouldn't be possible to enforce that system on a group of partners in the US."
Rogers & Wells is a New York limited liability partnership (LLP), which protects partners' assets from negligence claims against the firm. LLPs are available in all 50 US states but are not yet allowed in the UK and keeping LLP status was another condition of the merger for Rogers & Wells, says Cranch.
"There was a need to create an entity which would preserve for the partners of Rogers & Wells their existing limited liability status. There was also a perception that would be attractive to all partners of the global firm." This means the new global firm will be registered as a New York LLP, says Cranch.
The legal world is now asking what the response will be on both sides of the Atlantic to the merger. Cranch does not think rival US firms will be rushing to the airport just yet.
But he adds: "It will depend on how successful this new firm is as a competitive force in the market. And if it is very successful then people are going to have to respond. And I am sure it will be."

Read more about our course accreditation
There are many other opportunities for people who study this course.
With parents lacking the kind of support they once had from grandparents and neighbours, they're often desperate for answers.
In the absence of a child psychologist, parents turn to teachers, teaching assistants, youth workers, child minders and counsellors.
People in these professions need to understand child psychology. If you work in a area that deals with young people, and you're able to provide solutions to these problems, you'll greatly improve your chances of getting a job, getting promotion or succeeding in self-employment.

Few drivers have caused the kind of speculation that Kimi Raikkonen has in the past few years alone. Will he take a Ferrari payoff and make way for Fernando Alonso? Will he find another ride in Formula One? Will he make it in the World Rally Championship? Will he make a real go of it in NASCAR? Will he ever come back to F1? And if so, with which team? Well, the speculation can now stop – or at least change focus – because the 2007 World Champion has officially returned to Formula One.
After signing on with the Lotus team (previously known as Renault, and before that as Benneton and Toleman), Raikkonen has had his first chance to get behind the wheel of a modern F1 car since leaving the Scuderia at the end of 2009. The test took place over the course of two days at the Ricardo Tormo circuit in Valencia, Spain. But since driving the current car with current tires would constitute an unfair advantage under the present regulations, Kimi was stuck driving the 2010 Renault R30 on demonstration tires (probably from the GP2 series) with a fresh coat of paint (and a new helmet design).
The acclimation run appears to have gone smoothly enough, but we'll have to wait until the start of the season in March to see if Raikkonen's still got what it takes. Then Raikkonen will be squaring off against a huge field of fellow former World Champions, including Sebastian Vettel, Fernando Alonso, Michael Schumacher, Lewis Hamilton and Jenson Button. Follow the jump to watch the video clip.
