Hi there! It's Melissa Mortenson from the Polkadot Chair, today I am going to share with you a tutorial for a Christmas Tree Skirt & Runner. I think this is my favorite project for Moda Bake Shop yet.
Do you have a cute little table top Christmas tree? Why not make a quick and easy tree skirt for it? Plus you will have enough fabric left in your honey bun to make this cute table runner to match!
1 Figgy Pudding Honey Bun
2 yds white fabric for backing
1/4" yd. or 1 fat quarter, blue fabric for binding on tree skirt
Embroidery floss
Heat n Bond Lite
Batting (I used quilters dream cotton)
Very IMPORTANT! Before you begin to sew, if you want to make both the runner and the tree skirt make sure that you pick out all of your fabrics first! Otherwise you might run out of a color that you want.
To begin, you need 11 honey bun strips. You need to set them up in a color pattern that starts in the center and mirrors out to the edges. You want to match rows 1 & 11, 2 & 10, 3 & 9, 4 & 8, 5 & 7 and row 6 will be your center row.
You need them to match because your are going to cut them into triangles, and flip the template after each cut. (if you are confused now, don't worry just keep reading it will make sense with the photos).
here (NOTE: your triangle will be 9x12, NOT 6x9 like in the photos)
Next, flip the template 180 degrees. Line up the edge of the template with the cut edge of the fabric strip. Cut out your next piece.
Flip template again and repeat, until you get 9 triangles... (note your last triangle you may be a little short, don't worry still cut it, that will be the edge piece of your tree skirt).
Cut out center of the skirt, leaving 1" of the red strip still showing. (if your tabletop tree has a wider trunk, cut a larger hole).
Sew on binding, making sure not to catch ribbon in binding.
Now onto the table runner. This runner is LONG. It is 14"x 105". I wanted a long runner to fit my big table. If you want it shorter just elimante some of the blocks.
To begin:
From your honeybun, collect 5 strips each of 4 different color ways. I used the blues, greens, reds & browns.
Arrange how you like, and sew togther with 1/4" seam. Press seam to one side.
1 runner and 1 tree skirt

So I need to call bullshit on this Edge article claiming Sony's "no DRM" statements are just a pr stunt, and that "game publishers will implement similar policies across Xbox One and PS4"
So what makes this article problematic is that it muddies the definition of what DRM is, by conflating the issues of revenue in the used game market with digital license management. What Sony has stated is that it will require a system level fee for the access of online multiplayer through subscription to Playstation Plus.
What Microsoft has said is they will leave regulation of the used game market to publishers, however they will impose a unilateral system of digital game licenses across media. Meaning however you buy a game, Xbox Live will surveil your right to play that game through the internet.
Creating a revenue stream to support online gameplay, is not the same thing as using the internet to regulate all gameplay. That said, what Microsoft has said they will leave to publishers, is the right to resell your games. What Sony has said they will leave to publishers is the implementation of a DRM system for checking game licenses.
So, you know a pay wall for online play is arbitrary, it isn't really the same thing as DRM. I see people comparing these two things like a trade off, but they are not mutually exclusive. You will pay for the right to play online on Xbox One, in addition of having DRM license checks. There's no "insider information" that can resolve that distinction, and there's no insider who can clarify how third party publishers will approach DRM on the PS4.
All this story amounts to is just vague speculation designed to distract from Microsoft's policies as a platform holder. It is a canard with no factual basis in reality. What we found out from Geoffe Keighly's interviews with executives at Activision, Ubisoft, and EA is that they didn't even know about Microsoft's plans to implement a 24 hour license check before it was announced a few weeks ago.
Ubisoft's CEO Yves Guillemot similarly told Keighly 3:40 "I'm not sure [the value exchange of used games revenue] has to be changed. I think the way it works today is quite fine." This is the CEO of Ubisoft people. He continued to make the point that as we move into digital publishers will explore new business models, citing Steam weekend sales, as opposed to new ways of DRMing your shit.
This article from Kotaku says that EA played no role in Microsoft's plan to impose DRM on the Xbox One. Peter Moore: "EA has never had a conversation", he later adds, "and I have been present at all of them, with all of the manufacturers, saying you must put a system in place that allows us to take a piece of the action or even stop it. Absolutely incorrect."
So the big revelation here is that Microsoft controlling how you consume media, and your rights to consume the media you purchase, are not the same thing as publishers going after the used game market, or simply trying to get more revenue. This has to do with Microsoft's overall vision of turning the Xbox One into a Trojan Horse for all the media you consume. If they control the distribution channels for tv shows, movies, online gameplay, and video games of all sorts, they can charge you whatever the fuck they want.Jun 12, 2013 12:36pm PDTSo I need to call bullshit on this Edge article claiming Sony's "no DRM" statements are just a pr stunt, : DevSword
By: CaptBoxx x Show Full PostEveryone seems to be losing their shit at MS about the restrictive used games (sell/trade/share) policies on the XBone and I don't understand. MS has always seen close relationships with publishers and exclusive content as a market differentiator, whether full exclusive or times DLC. Am I the only one who sees these restrictive policies targeted solely and currying favour with publishers?
MS has (i think) announced twice the number of exclusive titles that Sony has. Being willing to restrict the used game market, to the benefit of publishers, might be the driving force behind that advantage.Jun 13, 2013 9:20am PDTEveryone seems to be losing their shit at MS about the restrictive used games (sell/trade/share) policies... : CaptBoxx

By: CruelLEGACEY x Show Full PostJust some random thoughts:
1) Destiny looks very exciting. I think the stage demo came off a bit awkward, but the real-world experience of exploring these environments with your friends and being joined by other living players to tackle big scary monsters is very cool. Not a groundbreaking concept, but I've never seen an MMO style game with such tight and polished mechanics.
2) Halo 5.... I couldn't care less about this announcement, and I'm not sure why. Maybe because we already knew it was coming? Maybe because 343's storytelling has been so horrible that a glimpse into the story of their next game just doesn't make me care? Maybe because Chief looked ridiculous in that cloak? I don't know. Maybe it's just because the entire trailer was just trying to look like an overblown version of Journey. At any rate, it completely failed to capture my interest.
3) Am I crazy, or does Beyond look really freaking cool?
4) Titan Fall: The one and only reason I'm even considering purchasing an Xbox One. Love the way they are bringing AI teammates into multiplayer. Love the maneuverability of the pilots (Wall-running FTW!). And I love the level of personality being put in to the titans. Their movement and design are great.

One thing I think some people have missed that might have an impact on Call of Duty over time is how nearly every major next gen shooter is going to run at 60 frames per second.
343i came out and actually made an announcement out of the fact that Halo will for the first time run at 60fps on console. An EA press release confirmed it for Battlefield 4 on next-gen consoles. Titanfall is also confirmed to run at 60. The only major one we don't know about is Destiny.
For those that don't know, Call of Duty is almost the only current generation FPS that runs at 60, which allows it to have tighter and more responsive controls than just about any other shooter on PS3 and 360. IW and Treyarch have even pointed this out in their promotion as if it's their trademark. People who keep saying COD is better because no other game "feels like COD" is referring to the framerate. It seems the competition is finally catching on to this and I'm wondering how much of an effect it could have.
COD will probably still be the best-selling shooter (if not game) this year, but I think things could start to shift by the end of 2014. Who knows. There always seems to be a new franchise (or genre) that dethrones the king upon every hardware transition.Jun 11, 2013 12:22pm PDTOne thing I think some people have missed that might have an impact on Call of Duty over time is how near... : RedSwirl

By: Runnermatt x Show Full PostOne thing that bothered me about the "new model" Dyack was proposing was this idea that the community makes the content. It seems a little odd to be relying on free content provided by others. What is the advantage for them....having been involved in a game? Perhaps if this helps keep the game cost low and thus, cheaper for the end user.
I just seems like they are taking advantage of people who all too eager to be taken advantage of. It's gross that creativity is becoming (in fact Percursor is expecting it) a commodity, as Dennis defined it.

So the mansion environment they showed in the FFXV trailer gave me some really good old school vibes. Everything in it was just so lusciously detailed from patterned marble floors to the delicately curved and upholstered furniture, the dining room chairs all lined up, the intricate motifs and gold framed paintings on the walls, the vases flanking every walkway, the arcing wood spindles along the staircase. Everything looked individually crafted, and beautifully textured.
It might sound weird, but it actually goes to the point Andrew and Garnett made about The Last of Us. Square has been trying to cheat their way around prerendered backgrounds since FFX, and it has made their game worlds less and less believable. And for a fantasy game especially that's a complete disaster. You need that detail to suspend your disbelief and accept all the aesthetic flourishes and what not.Jun 11, 2013 12:16am PDT

Little light on Dyack IMO but I understand the need to be cordial in order to get someone to come on. And to your guys' credit, you did an alright job of not just allowing him to use you as free publicity.

It wasn't an honest mistake with Epic, they didn't just like the engine so much, and forget to give the appropriate credit. They took it, used it, and then conciously hid the fact. And then tried to sue Epic to add insult to injury.

Once again brilliant podcast.
Great to have Precursor giving more details and explaining what went wrong with the crowd funding of Shadow of the Eternal.
I'm really interested in that episodic vision, but as Garnett and Andrew said, that model has yet to be a success really.
I also wish we had more clarity on the Silicon Knights situation. What is the state of the relationshio with Nintendo ? Are there games in the pipeline ?Jun 09, 2013 1:32pm PDT
So as much as Microsoft seems to have taken its eye off the ball with all the tv stuff, their major competitive advantage coming out of this generation, Xbox Live, hasn't changed. As much as we've found out about the next gen consoles, the central issues between the PS3/360 generation remain unresolved. For Sony it is a lack of cross game chat and universal match making. For Microsoft it is locking all online pvp, and third party applications behind a pay wall.
They talked about this a bit on Bonus Round last week, and Garnett brought up a good point about Facebook integration on the PS4. But what's interesting is that with the rise of "smart devices" people are moving away from the web template social networks, and in an odd twist looping back towards instant messaging platforms like AOL back in the day.
That said, it was kind of sophisticated for Microsoft to show off Skype as central to the next Xbox. Skype is the universally accepted "Facetime" App on "smart devices." But I think its ubiquity is as much of a problem as an advantage where Xbox is concerned. If you look at apps like Snap Chat, Instagram, and WhatsApp, etc. they distinguish themselves by existing exclusively on smart devices.
So I think the driving principle there is that there's a one to one relationship between a "smart device" (smartphone/tablet/handset) and its user. That inherent personal nature of the hardware gives those apps a reach and credibility they wouldn't otherwise have. If you take a picture on Instagram, the camera itself exists on the same platform as the social network---therefore everyone's Instagram profile is that much more authentic.
That said, Skype doesn't really work on that same principle. Its designed to exist on anything with video capabilities---be it a PCs, tvs, or you know perhaps even a freakin toaster in the next 5 years. So where as an Instagram works on a one to one basis, Skype's ubiquity makes it look like a communication utility. Its almost like the virtual modern replacement for the telephone itself, where you just plug a number, or a screen name into the software, and reach the person on the other end.
So that said Sony's Playstation App has the opportunity to drive a really specialized feature set targeted at gamers without losing a broader audience. Their big advantage against Skype is that they don't have to saddle themselves with servicing your Grandparents, your uncle, and whoever. At the same time they can reach anyone with an iOS or Android device who doesn't have a problem with running the app in the background.
For instance, if you can get on your PS4, and ping your friend's smartphone---whether or not they play video games---and show them an awesome boss fight in Dark Souls, that's a whole step beyond just integrating with a social network like Facebook. With Facebook it's like users have a cluster fuck of shit to sift through from all their friends posting crap. At the same time, with cross game chat as is, you're locked into this limited network of insular dude bro/rapists in the making.
So what a 1 to 1 "smart App" does is combine non-anonymity, with a tailored, non-utilitarian purpose. You know, you can easily connect with a family member, but its additive to the normal utilitarian way of talking over the phone. Its not just like, "YAY lets sit on the couch and pretend we're in the same room! : D!!<3" That said, reverse engineering Skype for all those specialized purposes would be pretty stupid. Its not to say that Microsoft won't have features with "Game Tags" and what not, but it reveal a fragmentation in their approach to helping gamers connect.Jun 08, 2013 10:44am PDTSo as much as Microsoft seems to have taken its eye off the ball with all the tv stuff, their major compe : DevSword

By: lowlight x Show Full PostBTW just thought I would point out that I think Dennis is confusing two of Amazon's cloud frameworks.
The one you use to run servers is called EC2. And while you can 'spin up' a server at various locations around the world, these servers to not do automatic load balancing based on where the user is connecting from. You would have to have some running in various locations, and route people to those servers to get them to connect directly.
I believe he was confusing it with their CDN (Content Delivery Network) "CloudFront". This takes your static web files and spreads them out around their network. When a user visits a site, the files are then loaded from the nearest server.
Shacknews uses a CloudFront actually- any time you load an image or a podcast (or other static files like CSS, etc), it connects to "cf.shacknews.com" which will load from the nearest CloudFront server to you.
At the same time, their main server is an EC2 instance in Northern California. This is why, while you may not be near their actual server running the page, images and other files still load fast.
But the web server (or any other cloud service using EC2) will not necessarily be the closest. Wherever they decide to start a server, that's where it is going to be until it shuts down.
That was a stupidly long explanation for such a small point to make, and I feel like deleting it but oh well might as well leave it up.Jun 09, 2013 7:24am PDT

In regards to Remember Me and its dialogue, is English the only audio language option in the game?
If it was made by a French developer then I would assume that maybe the dialogue was originally written in French, and the "disappointing dialogue" Garnett is experiencing is just a disappointing English translation.Jun 08, 2013 3:20pm PDT
I can definitely see what Dyack is talking about when he says the services are becoming more important than the hardware. I think that became true during the current console generation. The biggest difference between the PS3, 360, Wii, and their predecessors is the fact that consoles now have full-blown operating systems. I always considered that to be the main defining aspect of this console generation, and what had the most effect on how you experience games, not the hardware.
People primarily bought games on Xbox 360 this gen because they wanted to remain plugged into Xbox Live. People are wary of the Xbox One right now not because of its hardware, but because of what it's doing with DRM and to a certain extent its focus on non-gaming services. One of the main reasons I primarily switched over to PC this gen was because I really like Steam as a service compared to XBL and PSN.
When it comes to the "one console" thing, what he's really talking about is a single dominant format, or a single dominant operating system for games. This would probably have to be open source or at least controlled by a consortium and not one company, and it would be utterly different from the current game platform business model. The closest things we have right now are Android, Windows, and Linux. The problem is that none of those directly affects console gaming (despite all the Android consoles people are trying to release). None of them directly affects the console gaming audience or development community as of yet.Jun 08, 2013 3:17pm PDT

So this is what I have to say about David Hayer and Metal Gear Solid V. The first Metal Gear game to ever feature voice acting was Metal Gear Solid. It was a revelation at its time. Speaking of Silicon Knights, many people hated Twin Snakes because they bastardized the original's voice acting.
So what was an aspect of the original's voice acting that made it so distinctive? Well for instance, there were two characters named "Snake" who somehow had completely different voices.
So people who argue that Sutherland is "replacing" David Hayer are kind of missing the core ethos that made the franchise so great to begin with. There is not one character named Snake. There is Solid Snake---who David Hayer made famous---and who's fictional real name is in fact David, there is Liquid Snake who had long blonde hair and speaks with a British accent, and then there is Naked Snake, aka Big Boss who those two characters were cloned from.
So in Metal Gear Solid 3 was where Kojima decided to make Solid Snake the trans-time space continuum, meta vessel for the franchise. Kojima called him "Naked Snake," and put used the trappings of Big Boss' timeline, but he broke the internal logic of the franchise by retaining Hayter and essentially conflating the appearance and personality of Solid and Big Boss characters.
That said, the whole point of the original MGS, was that it took the convolutions typical to a video game story line (clones, android armies, mystical laser shooting kung foo fighters, whatever), and swept them under the rug. Kojima rebooted the idea of Metal Gear narratively and used that to craft a more credible, prescient story about nuclear war, American foreign policy, and whatever. He made a piece of fiction with the whimsey and fantasy unique to video games, that also had the credibility you expect from mainstream story telling.
If you look at the original trailer for MGS2 it was one of the most galvanizing things this industry had ever seen. Kojima was the Wachowski brother of video games, bragging about how he used slow motion for Olga's scene on the tanker before seeing the Matrix. Just like The Matrix, the Metal Gear Solid's world was cool on a level that transcended its medium. It wasn't just a video game, it was a whole universe that resonated with people even if they didn't play video games.
When you jumped to MGS3 though Kojima forgot about all those innovations. Instead of pursuing that new frontier of a game world with narrative continuity, he turned to the pre-MGS1 convoluted origins of video game story telling. Where as MGS went beyond gaming and subverted tropes of actual action films, Kojima turned to those films to imitate them on the most primitive level.
He turned "Snake" into an Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jackie Chan, Jean Claude Van Damme like vessel for his games. You plug that faux actor or "character" into any scenario, add violence or whatever elements define their personality (muscles, martial arts, in this case stealth) and that in and of itself carries the experience---rather than a richer narrative arc or logical continuity.
So all that said, the decision to go with Kiefer Sutherland as Snake's voice, not Solid Snakes, nor Liquid Snake's, nor Naked Snake's---is pretty obvious to me. Kojima wants to rip off the band aid and turn MGS' into a franchise helmed by a banal action hero. Sutherland has a lot of experience portraying that "character" to American audiences. He isn't a great actor, but he is good at sounding like a "tough guy." Unlike a Schwarzenegger or Chan, he is paunchy, and old, but hey I guess that's the forgiving nature of voice acting.Jun 08, 2013 12:57pm PDT

So to the speculation over what Sony's policy will be for DRM, I think the reveals of Warframe and Planetside 2 on the PS4 really speak to their attitude on the matter. No platform holder can prevent EA or Activision from imposing some mega draconian DRM for its games, but what they can do is make the marketplace more competitive.
Like the major problem with the games market on consoles right now is all of the consolidation going on. MHSilver just posted about that semi-scandal involving Bethesda and Prey 2 last week. Well my question is, how did Bethesda become such an important publisher seemingly overnight. If you only have a few companies controlling all software production on consoles, they will turn the business into an oligopoly and fuck people (and smaller developers) over.
That said, if you do allow self publishing, and allow games with free 2 play come into the console space, you can see consumers choosing a different route. And you give developers the ability to make money off a great game like Prey 2 seemingly was or is, and let them focus on making content that their audience wants.Jun 08, 2013 11:21am PDT

By: Videosta x Show Full PostLets take another look at the known/likely MS-published releases for the Xbox One:
Quantum Break*
Forza 5
Halo 5
Kinect Sports 3^
Kinect Adventures 2^
Kinectimals 2^
Crackdown 3
Fable 4
Dead Rising 3^
Now, MS claims to have 15 exclusive titles for launch year, with 8 being new franchises, so I put a star next to those. I put an arrow next to the ones I think MS might just reconceptualize into a "new" franchises.
Now, I may fanboy out when they show Fable, but at the moment I'm leaning toward skipping both next gen consoles and using the credit I've saved to get a Vita. Why? Because I'm sitting on a full library of games for it thanks to Plus.
Sony has done great with some of its properties, but mostly the ones that lean toward the artier end of the spectrum. Their AAA games (other than Uncharted) have felt oddly hollow to me. Killzone never got the feel of a fluid shooter, at least as far as mechanics in my opinion, and the story is boring. The Infamous games were fun for a few hours, but then got redundant.
Microsoft is just a mess. There are some great games coming, but not enough to make up for all the missteps they are making.
I think these new consoles are in for a rude awakening. Maybe the Wii-U's lack of success is more a statement on where consoles really are than anyone grasps right now?
One thing I know for sure- it sure is hard to keep E3 surprises a surprise these days. Leaky ships all over the place!Jun 08, 2013 5:47am PDT

SUPERIOR, Mont. (AP) - Crews battling the West Mullan Fire have made good progress in keeping it from burning into Superior, but some structures still remain threatened on the northwestern part of the blaze. Fire information officers say the fire, which started Sunday, had burned an estimated 4,550 acres, or just over seven square miles, by Friday morning. Fire information officer Greg DeNitto says he thinks the residents of Superior are resting a little easier now that crews have about 6 or 7 miles of fire line along the southwestern edge of the fire, parallel to the Clark Fork River. Work Friday will include efforts to prevent the northwestern edge of the fire from burning across Keystone Creek and getting the southeastern edge of the fire to burn fuels down to a fire line near Flat Creek.
The Missoulian reports a stubborn branch of the 4,150-acre fire reached the doorstep of several homes in northern Superior and threatened a cluster of businesses, including two local bars and a bank, along with an auto parts store and a lumber yard.
The fire's growth near the Lolo National Forest forced new evacuation orders Thursday at Keystone and LaVista roads. All of Superior north of the Clark Fork River was shuttered, as evacuation orders issued Wednesday remained in effect. The river itself was closed from the Big Eddy fishing access to the Slowey Campground.
MISSOULA, Mont. (AP) - The Mineral County sheriff's office issued more evacuation orders Thursday afternoon as temperatures rose and the humidity decreased on the West Mullan fire burning north of Superior. Fire officials say at least 100 residences have been evacuated since the fire started on Sunday. Strong winds Wednesday afternoon helped push the fire from 1,800 acres to an estimated 3,650 acres, or 5.7 square miles by Thursday. No traffic is being allowed north of the Clark Fork River in Superior. Fire information officer Greg DiNitto says the northeastern part of the fire had burned very near the Bonneville Power Administration power line, but reportedly had not crossed it. No structures have been lost. The American Red Cross set up an emergency evacuation center at Superior Elementary School.
MISSOULA, Mont. (AP) - Strong winds accompanying a storm Wednesday afternoon forced fire managers to pull firefighters off the West Mullan fire burning north of Superior. Fire information officer Pat McKelvey says the fire didn't receive any moisture Wednesday afternoon or evening, but the wind helped push the fire from 1,800 acres to 3,600 acres, or about 5.6 square miles. The fire moved northeast toward the Bonneville Power Administration line. More than 50 homes remained under evacuation and Mineral County officials put more residents on ore-evacuation notice. More crews arrived to help the firefighting effort and crews pulled off the lines were expected to return Thursday morning. The Mineral County Fairgrounds has been opened to house animals and livestock, but owners are responsible for food and water.(Copyright 2013 The Associated Press. All rights reserved.

Dr. Goldline on When to Replace Your Curling Brush Head
Posted on January 14, 2013 by Dr. GoldlineDr. Goldline, how often should I replace my curling brush head?
As curlers we all know that sweeping is key in cleaning the ice surface and helping a rock get closer to its intended destination. If we put aside the cleanliness of the ice, which is largely out of your control, there are three primary factors that impact the expected life of a brush head: position, pressure and playing frequency.

Due to its distinct construction, it "polishes" rather than breaks down ice pebble, allowing for increased frequency of sweeping with less energy required. This unique innovation has been brought to us by Hallgeir (Hal) Moen, and is available exclusively through Goldline Curling.
