Website Care Plans
Having A Website Is Non-Negotiable Today
Successful websites are those websites that continue to attract the right type of visitors and lead them down a path towards becoming your customer. This requires consistent content publishing, updating, and monitoring of the website to make sure it is achieving your objectives.
Software is Vulnerable
Software needs updating. All software. It is true for your computer, your phone and your website. Including the software that powers your website. Your competitors are waking up (or maybe leading the way) and innovating with new websites and online strategies. The world is getting smaller as more of us connect to the web and that means that it is only going to get harder to keep up, let alone stay ahead of the pack. More and more websites are getting hacked and attacked, including the big names like Twitter and Facebook as well as millions of small businesses everyday. It's the nature of the world we live in and unfortunately websites are an easy target.
Do It Yourself
Keeping your website up to date, backed up and secure can be time consuming and a little tedious as software updates come out almost everyday. It takes you away from what you should be doing, which is building relationships with your customers, staff and partners. The technology continues to evolve and there is no way you can keep abreast of all the trends and developments. I will train you to keep your website updated but if you plan to ignore your website once it is live please consider this your warning. If you don't keep the software updated your site will likely be hacked in the future.
Hire Me
I know your website intimately because I built it. I know all of the variables and combinations of things that hang together to make it work. I also know the software your website is built on very well. I've been using it for over 5 years and all of my websites (including this one) are built on the same software. So I am in the best position to keep your website up and running and open for business and you can do that with one of my Website Care Plans below.

Catherine Ryan submits-
The Committee for the Arts is excited to share new "in situ" photographs of Gloucester 's City Hall murals by noted architectural photographer, Chuck Choi.
Here is Chuck Choi photographing and Mayor Carolyn Kirk eyeing his composition
Here's one featuring Charles Allan Winter's City Council in Session in the lobby of City Hall (don't miss our killer ship chandeliers!);
followed by a photo zoomed in to show all 34 figures
followed by a photo of the framed "key" that his installed below the mural, just above the collectors' windows—more to follow on the key!
There was media coverage in the 1930s for the murals as they were completed, and many times since then. Here's a fun one: In 1972 Senator William L. Saltonstall (Manchester resident and member of the Massachusetts Senate from 1967-1979) enlisted the help of media to announce a contest to help identify the portraits in some of Charles Allan Winter's New Deal murals within Gloucester 's City Hall. The Cape Ann VF insert published a photograph of the Winter mural in Kyrouz Auditorium, The Founding of Gloucester, with the caption: "Senator Saltonstall is offering dinner for two at a Gloucester restaurant to the first person to identify the most real people in the mural painting above."

A clinical care coordinator introduces contrasting crockery – blue plates on white table cloths – at meal times in a dementia unit. This simple change yields several outcomes; the residents living with dementia stay at the table for longer, more food is consumed, and there is a corresponding reduction in food wastage and weight loss.
Dr Chris While
Learning Consultant,
Dementia Training Australia
At another site, the introduction of weekly visits with local kindergarten students as part of an intergenerational program has many positive outcomes including happier residents, increased interaction, and increased family satisfaction with care.
These are just two Dementia Training Australia Fellowship projects that demonstrate better outcomes for people living with dementia, through the application of evidence-based knowledge to practice.
Fellowships are essentially coaching or mentoring partnerships between DTA and selected 'champions' within organisations.
They aim to address the question that vexes so many of us who want to see quality approaches to care: what does it take to implement contemporary dementia practices, like the ones described above, into care settings?
New evidence-based knowledge is published every day in research and industry journals. An increasing body of research describes how new interventions and ways of working can improve quality of life and care for people living with dementia. However, it's often said that it takes an average of 17 years for research evidence to reach clinical practice.
Research is rarely accompanied by guidance that describes the 'how to' aspect of applying new knowledge into practice within the workplace. And the 'how to' is often the difficult part.
Research can also assume that changes will be supported by highly motivated staff with expertise in change management, and resources available to them to translate new knowledge into practice.
Because we know this is usually not the case, we work with change-ready organisations to upskill leadership-ready individuals and create sustainable change, through Fellowships.
These Fellowships are underpinned by a knowledge translation pathway that supports learners to move from 'knowing' to 'doing'. Fellowships are offered to selected organisations within a DTA Tailored Training Package. The organisations that we partner with are change-ready, and prepared to invest in evidence-based practice and developing leaders within their frontline team.
The Fellow is a workplace or 'in-house' leader.
They are in the best position to create sustainable change because they understand the complexity of their working environment, and how to bridge the gap between that environment, and applying evidence-based knowledge.
They know their teams; they know who will be early adopters and champions of change, and who will be reluctant to change. They are more likely to understand team perspectives. Fellows essentially become 'how to' champions, with support from DTA.
Here's how it works. The Fellows identify the research evidence that they wish to apply, and consider how it will fit with their working environment. They ask questions like: "Will the change work here" and "Will it work for us in a practical sense".
Our role at DTA?
We provide experienced facilitators who mentor the Fellows as they undertake their knowledge translation project. The mentors work with the Fellows over nine to 12 months to help identify the evidence that underpins their project, to plan and implement the change, and finally to evaluate the impact of the change on staff and work processes, people living with dementia and their families. The support we offer has a particular emphasis on supporting the emotional impact of transition and change on staff.
So far we've led 25 Fellowship projects, working with 34 Fellows.
Many of the projects have been about improving meal times for residents. At one site, education relating to staff behaviours and interactions results made meal times calm and peaceful, with less stress for staff and residents. At another, people in the more advanced stages of dementia are supported to prepare and cook their own meals three times a week.
The introduction of Montessori-based activities – including activity stations and signage, interactive wall art and role allocation – in a dementia support unit has been evaluated and shown to decrease agitation and other responsive behaviours, decrease antipsychotic use, and increase person-centred care.
While the achievements of the Fellowship projects vary, they all have a common theme – to place the wellbeing of people living with dementia at the heart of care quality.
More Opinion pieces
Change is here – amended legislation on chemical restraints in Australia
DTA's Medication Management Consultancy has seen as much as a 60% relative reduction in antipsychotic medications prescribed within residential aged care facilities across Australia.
New standards – An opportunity to improve medication use in residential aged care
Responsive behaviours are experienced by many people who are living with dementia. Non-medication approaches are overwhelmingly the most appropriate and effective means of providing support.

Apple Pay, the pay-with-your-iPhone-or-Apple-Watch service may be accepted in over 1 million places, but even Apple CEO Tim Cook can't quite live his life using it.
While attending the annual Allen & Co conference in Sun Valley, Idaho, reporters from The Information shared this funny story of spotting Cook:
"Do you take Apple Pay?" Cook asked as he was buying coffee at a quaint German restaurant called "Konditorei." The barista said no.
When it was launched in 2014, Apple Pay was hailed as revolutionary. People thought that Apple was going to do for credit cards what it did for music, stick itself in the middle, generate big bucks for Apple, and then dominate the payments industry.
Two years later, the payment revolution is still a work in progress. Apple Pay is struggling to catch on, according to a recent BI Intelligence report. Three-quarters of the people who could use it have never tried it, that report says. For some, the technology may seem like too much fuss and bother compared to simply swiping a credit card.
So, no, the days of searching for your wallet are not quite gone, even for Tim Cook.

TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - March 24, 2014) - The new board of directors of Oremex Silver Inc. (TSX VENTURE:OAG) ("Oremex" or the "Company") is pleased to report that it has begun making progress on a number of fronts since it has assumed leadership of the Company.
The Company has now had its' trading halt removed which was in place for 7 months and has cancelled two dilutive financings.
The Board is reviewing all of the Company's operations to determine what changes, if any, will be necessary in the future and putting together a strategy for its Mexican operations. The Board hopes to report on that progress shortly. Corporately the Company is working on completing its year-end audit and planning on restarting communications with shareholders by re-launching the website and beginning to provide more regular updates.
In addition, the Company has issued 5,050,000 stock options at an exercise price of $0.05 per option to directors and service providers. The options vest immediately and expire 5 years from the date of grant.
About Oremex
Oremex is a Canadian company focusing on the exploration and development of silver projects along a highly productive mineralized belt in Mexico. The Company has a portfolio of silver projects including a mineral resource of 50.8 million ounces of silver at its Tejamen deposit.
National Instrument 43-101 requires the following statement: that the preliminary assessment is preliminary in nature, that it includes inferred mineral resources that are considered too speculative geologically to have the economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be categorized as mineral reserves, and there is no certainty that the preliminary assessment will be realized.
Forward-Looking Statements
Forward-Looking Statements: The above contains forward-looking statements that are subject to a number of known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated in our forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause such differences include: changes in world commodity markets, equity markets, costs and supply of materials relevant to the mining industry, change in government and changes to regulations affecting the mining industry. Forward-looking statements in this release include statements regarding future exploration programs, operation plans, geological interpretations, mineral tenure issues and mineral recovery processes. Although we believe the expectations reflected in our forward-looking statements are reasonable, results may vary, and we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements.
Neither TSX Venture Exchange nor its Regulation Services Provider (as that term is defined in the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange) accepts responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of this release.

Aviation History
LETTERS The Antonox An-2 Colt: at the heart of the Lithuanian air force Lithuania's air force SIR — In the world's air forces directory (Flight International, 25 November - 1 December, 1992) you state that "...Latvia is the only new Baltic state to announce that it is going to form its own air force". Readers may be interested to know that, on a business visit to Lithuania in September, I photographed at Prociunai, near Prienai, a line of four Antonov An-2 aircraft which, I was advised, constituted the Lithuanian air force. They were obviously ex- USSR air force aircraft but had Lithuanian markings on their tails. They were parked on the other side of the airfield from the CIS base and, although there seemed to be little activ ity going on, at least one of the Antonovs was flown during the three days that I was there. JONATHAN DALRYMPLE- SMITH Ampthill, Bedfordshire, UK Duty-frees: a safety threat? SIR — The sale of duty-free goods, although an unjustifiable perk for travellers, has become a tradition and an important source of revenue for airports and airlines. Although European customs borders came down on 1 January for inter-European Community (EC) trade, duty-free allowances inter-EC will not be phased out until July 1999 and will still be available for non-EC destina tions after that. It is likely that the building of London Heathrow's new Termi nal 5 will go ahead, so is it too much to hope that BAA, the UK airports company, will get to gether with the UK's Customs & Excise department and plan an in-bound duty-free shop? The opportunity was missed when Terminal 4 opened and BAA has lost the extra revenue enjoyed by other airports such as Buenos Aires. This is a matter of safety, as well as economics, because duty free purchases add to cabin clut ter and could impede an emergency evacuation. Why carry flammable alcohol and perfume in fragile glass contain ers, sometimes halfway round the world and back? Unnecessary extra injuries are known to have been caused by broken duty-free bottles left at the bottom of escape chutes. Moreover, some years ago, a hi-jacked British Aerospace VC- 10 was set on fire with the help of duty-free alcohol. Other international airports have shown that a system of duty-free purchases on arrival can work. Perhaps the new gen eration of UK Customs and Ex cise can liaise with BAA and make the necessary changes to Terminal 5 before the design is set in stone. ELISABETH COX Teddington, Middlesex, UK The UK's extra cash burden SIR — I understand that the cost to UK air-transport operators of the regulation and administra tion of air-operators' certificates (AOCs) is in the region of £22 million a year. This sum has to be recovered from all AOC hold ers — from British Airways to flying clubs. Within the member states of the Joint Airworthiness Authorities, the UK is unique in having to recover this charge wholly from the operator. Oth ers have government support. It is said that eventually all will be equal, but 1 fear that, for some time, the UK will be less equal than others in the JAA. As from 1 January 1993, non- UK operators, without this di rect financial burden, have been allowed to operate in the UK in competition with indigenous companies. It is likely that the various states' regulatory au thorities will have delegated powers from the JAA to levy their own charges and continue operating much as at present. I cannot see all JAA AOC holders being charged equally for probably another eight to ten years. During this period UK operators may well have to pay according to two charging schemes; one from the JAA and one from the CAA. This unfair situation is not confined to AOC charges. For eign airline operators using older aircraft will continue to benefit from the lower original certification-costs compared with UK operators using similar types. The UK operators have had to bear the higher costs to meet the more stringent UK requirements. The only way to reduce these charges is for the CAA to cut its costs and delegate more respon sibility to the industry itself. How can we hasten the day when all are equal in the sight of the JAA? If it is too long, then many of the present operators will not be in business to see that day dawn.

Solid midrange clarity. Supports iOS, 3.5mm auxiliary devices, and AM/FM radio in one package.
Expensive. No subwoofer means relatively weak bass. Just one speaker limits imaging.
Bottom Line
The unassuming Cue Radio r1 packs decent midrange power and clarity into its single speaker, and offers multiple audio sources to boot. There's not much bass to it, though.
Most iPod dock sound systems focus on the fact that they're made for iOS devices. They emphasize the "dock" feature, and anything else it can do or support is secondary. Cue Acoustics goes in another direction: Instead of a speaker dock that happens to have features like AM/FM radio, the Cue Radio Model r1 ($399 direct) is a radio-equipped sound system that happens to have an iPod/iPhone dock. However you spin it, though, this one-piece bookshelf sound system sounds very goodjust not quite good enough to justify its price.

The Cue Radio's design is elegant and simple, with a rounded, smooth design available in white or black, and few controls. The front of the radio is separated into thirds: two thirds hold the radio's monochrome, backlit LCD display and three control knobs against the smooth shell of the device. The other third is a mesh grille covering the radio's Cue cs1 speaker, a single, stacked 50-watt bi-amplified woofer/tweeter assembly that pumps out the radio's sound. The back of the radio holds connections for the power cable, AM and FM antennae, auxiliary audio inputs, and the optional Cue Speaker Model s1 ($99.99, 3 stars), which can be connected to turn the Cue Radio r1 from a mono speaker into a true stereo sound system. There's also an Ethernet port, but that's only for servicing Internet radio.
The controls are simple, but an odd design choice makes using the Cue Radio r1 more awkward than it ought to be. The large knob controls radio tuning and menu navigation, while the smaller knobs control mode selection and volume levels. In iPod mode, the large button functions as a click wheel, with four touch-sensitive buttons lighting up around it. Each knob can be pressed in to act as a button, but it's not always obvious what that button will do. For instance, pressing the volume knob turns the radio on and off instead of simply muting the volume, forcing the user to wait a few seconds for the device to reboot before listening again.
Fortunately, an included, card-sized membrane remote offers remote control of any attached iOS devices, plus a dedicated mute button, on top of the standard radio controls. The remote is a slightly easier way to adjust settings on the Cue Radio, and to set its optional twin alarms.
Considering the device has essentially only a single speaker, the Cue Radio r1 sounds very good. It gets both remarkably loud and remarkably clear, especially in the midrange. Led Zeppelin's "Communication Breakdown" sounded great for a single-speaker system, with both Plant's vocals and Page's guitar sounding crisp and clear without being overly bright.
The Cue Radio r1's one major sonic flaw is that its processing limits and tweaks the bass notes, so that low end lacks much punch or true clarity. Our heavy-bass test track, The Knife's "Silent Shout," didn't accurately reproduce deep bass through the Cue, and it also lacked the deep thump that a $400 system should produce. The Altec Lansing Octiv 650 ($199.95, 4 stars) features a built-in subwoofer that can put out stronger bass for half the price. On the even higher side of the price range, the Editors' Choice Beatbox by Dr. Dre from Monster ($449.95, 4 stars) and the Bowers & Wilikins Zeppelin Air ($599.95, 4 stars) offer true stereo sound, excellent bass, and Apple AirPlay support, for an admittedly steep premium. Sitting between the two, the Cue Radio's relatively weak bass is a disappointment.
While the Cue Radio includes an antenna with a 3.5mm connector for use with the AM radio, it doesn't come with an antenna for the FM radio's coaxial connector. Fortunately, it didn't need any external antenna to tune into a handful of radio stations in the New York area. (The power cable doubles as the antenna, making the coaxial connector seem unnecessary; an additional digital input would have been more useful.) Rock, jazz, and talk radio stations came through clearly, even in the Wi-Fi radio swamp of the PCMag Labs.
At heart, the Cue Radio is still just a one-speaker device. Because of this, it suffers in audio imaging. While it can fill a room with sound, it can't fill a room with a good sense of sound, lacking the presence a second speaker would offer. Fortunately, Cue Acoustics offers the Cue Speaker Model s1, a dedicated accessory that turns the Cue Radio into a true stereo bookshelf sound system. Check out our review for the full details, but basically it offers an identically-sized and identically-powered speaker that can be placed up to 10 feet away thanks to an included 8-pin cable. It adds depth to the Cue Radio's otherwise excellent sound, but also adds $100 to its price tag.
Considering it only has a single "speaker," the Cue Radio r1 puts out very nice sound. It doesn't get quite as loud or full as other, larger iPod docks, but considering its full feature set, it's a solid, albeit expensive choice for a bookshelf sound system. If you want to give it power and fullness, you need to grab the optional Cue Speaker s1 to really round out its sound. For far better audio, spend the extra $50 and pick up the Beatbox by Dr. Dre from Monster.
Compare the Cue Radio r1 to other similar speakers.

Hi all, I hope you are having a good week. I had a go at decoupaging some spoons last week using some napkins. I do need a bit more practise but I'm quite pleased with how these turned out.
I'm now looking round the house to see what else I can decoupage!
Thanks for stopping by.

1. I like lists. Lists boast accomplishment, the magnitude of aforementioned triumph is entirely inconsequential, I was productive… and there's proof!
- I like when my husband makes breakfast for dinner. Eggs, bacon, pancakes – the works baby! The sweetness of the pancakes and syrup with the amazingness of the bacon, it's Meg-Ryan-in-Sleepless-in-Seattle-restaurant-scene worthy.
3. I like waking up with my face in my dog's fur. He's a stinky little shit, pardon my language, but it's true. Even after he gets a bath he's stinky, it's part of his charm. He's not the cuddling kind, so the fact that he lets me sleep with my face against him, it means something, you know.
- I like true-crime television/movies/documentaries/books. I'm fascinated really. I studied it some in college, thought I wanted to make a career out of it back then. The real world had different plans for me. I don't know what it is, maybe it makes me feel a little less crazy, studying people who do truly crazy things. Maybe that makes me even crazier, thinking I'm less crazy for studying crazy people.
5. I like thinking about writing far more than I actually sit down and write. I'd like to change that, I'm not proud of it. I want to write more than I think about writing, I think my writing would be better if I could do that. Does that make sense to anyone other than myself?

Obi had unveiled their new phones the SJ1.5 and the SF1 a couple of months ago and now the John Sculley co-founded company will shortly reenter India with the flagship SF1. Obi had garnered quiet a lot of attention internationally as the smartphones not only packed a decent set of hardware but also doted a premium design, fit and finish. The company has already launched its devices in the East Asia and the Middle East, and now it wants to enter the Indian market, thanks to the sheer volume driven business dynamics of the Indian smartphone market.
As you might be aware, Obi has partnered with Ammunition Studio for the design, which is one of the most aesthetically pleasing design I have personally come across in the budget segment. Both the Obi devices run on a custom UI called Lifespeed, which according to the company claims, has been designed to work in tandem with the hardware.
John Sculley who previously headed Apple and Pepsi cola is rest assured that both the smartphones will gain the attention in India as they have succeeded elsewhere, specifically the middle east and Vietnam. The SF1 is the company's flagship phone that sells at $199 and comes with something called as floating display. This device however is powered by the Snapdragon 615 and it retails in two variants, one 2GB RAM/16GB Storage and another with 3GB RAM/32GB Storage, thankfully both the variants still come with an expandable memory card slot and will be priced between Rs 10,000 to Rs 15,000.
Cutting through the noise, the reason these phones are getting so much of attention apart from its affordable price tag is the design of the phones. The Phones have been designed to precision and it looks a class apart. As we might have observed recently even Gionee launched its F series phones, which are essentially a bunch of design centric devices mostly below Rs 10,000 price bracket. This is a tell-tale sign of how even budget buyers are showering interests in a sleek well designed phone, a category both the Obi phones excel at.

A Guide to the Dilue Rose Harris Reminiscences, 1833-1836
Biographical Note
Memoirist Dilue Rose Harris (1825-1914) arrived at Stafford's Point, Texas, with her family in 1833. During the Texas Revolution she made bullets for the defenders of the Alamo, was acquainted with the revolutionary leaders, and fled with her family during the Runaway Scrape in 1836. After Texas gained its independence, the Harrises moved outside of Houston where she attended school. In 1839, she married Ira Harris with whom she had nine children. Harris wrote her reminiscences that were published in the Quarterly of the Texas State Historical Association in 1900.

First up in the cautionary words is an exquisitely complex and nearly indecipherable 2005 study of why incumbent senators win. Three political scientists, Gautam Gowrisankaran, Matthew Mitchell and Andrea Moro, reduced the whole thing to more equations than I could understand, but they also tallied the wins and losses for incumbent senators.
Since 1914, when the U.S. Senate was first elected by direct vote, there have been 914 direct elections, excluding special elections. Of the 204 incumbent losses, just 43 happened in a primary.
That's right, just 43 incumbent senators since 1914 have lost in a primary fight.
The "Daily Kos," one of the most popular political blog sites, immediately registered the shock waves of Case's decision to go up against the 30-year congressional veteran.
At last check nearly 80 commentaries were filed. Some were remarkably unfriendly.
"Both my husband & I burst out laughing when it came on the news at dinner time. He's toast," wrote one observer.
Another countered, saying: "Akaka has a fine voting record but, I'm sorry, I expect more from a senator."
"A few more Danny Akakas in the Senate would make it a more humane and decent place than it currently is," another blogger fired back.
On the Politics1.com Web site, another of the big blogs, the Akaka-Case match-up drew more than 250 comments.
Many were along the lines of "There's no need for a bitter primary that could potentially kill Case's career. This is among the dumbest moves a candidate can make, challenging an incumbent in a primary. It only rarely succeeds in anything."
But the discussion wandered off, as it usually does on the Web, this time into a discussion of whether Duane "Dog" Chapman should give up his bounty hunter-television life and run for office in Hawaii.
Case, the cousin of Steve Case, the former chief executive and chairman of America Online, is no novice to Internet campaigning. His Web page during the campaign for governor four years ago was first-rate. Observers noted that he also turned on a "Case for Senate" Web page moments after he finished making his campaign announcement.
But as far as the national press goes, Case is probably happier with this weekend report from one of Capitol Hill's political gurus, Charlie Cook, who wrote in his politics column:
"Akaka is nearly invisible in the Senate. His extremely low profile bolsters ... Case's argument that ... the state would be wise to have a younger senator building seniority."
Case and Akaka won't be relying on voters from the mainland to win, but now both men are comfortable in getting encouraging words from afar.

Year-Round Bargains – Reminders on Booking Cheap Transfers
That time of year is well and truly upon us again where nobody has a penny to spare and another year of economising looms menacingly ahead. Of course, none of this will prove enough to put millions off the idea of their annual ski jaunts to the French Alps, but economise they must and search for means to make savings they will.
As such, this is probably the best time of the whole year to once again look at some of the stunning savings that can be made in Geneva Airport transfer fees, just by adding a little common sense and cunning to the process. And if unconvinced that said savings are worth bothering with, try reductions of up to 50% for nothing more than knowing what to do when making a reservation.
So, here goes:
Midweek Bookings
It really isn't a secret anymore – or at least it shouldn't be – those who book their transfers for days right in the middle of the week will usually be eligible to discounts as high as 50%, even if travelling in the most pleasant and sociable hours of the day. What's more, the added bonus of travelling midweek is quieter service and quieter roads, which means less time on the bus and more time on the slopes…or at the bar, as you wish! Midweek discounts are something of an industry standard now so don't go booking with any provider charging the same full-whack seven-days a week…it's money down the drain!
Off-Peak Services
And following on from the above, midweek is only good if it doesn't happen to be during one of the peak times of the year. Sadly, a Wednesday in the middle of the Christmas holiday ski season isn't going to come any cheaper, so be sure to factor in peak times when looking to book a holiday and those all-important transfers.
Red-Eye Services
You're going to have to sleep at some point during your stay, so why not sleep away the flight to Geneva and snooze yourself silly on the warm, quiet and comfy two-hour resort transfer when you get there? Why waste your time sleeping in Les Arcs when you could by flying don't the slopes? And why not save a good 50% in the process? Yep – consider a slightly less-social hour of the day for your transfers and the prices tumble.
Go Shared
If travelling alone or with just one or two others, chances are a shared transfer service will be much cheaper than a private vehicle. True, you'll have to be willing to share the same breathing space with dozens of others on their annual jollies, but it really isn't like you're on the coach for that long and the savings might just keep you in hot chocolate for the week.
Go Private
And to the contrary, if you're travelling with at least six people or so, there's a pretty good chance that the lot of you could pool together for a luxurious, executive private transfer service for cheaper than the standard bus. Long story short – look at both options and don't rule either out.

"It has now been about 6 months since I had a hair transplant with the NeoGraft technology. 1340 grafts were transplanted from the back of my scalp to the crown and hairline at the sides in the front. I have never received so many comments from friends and family about this result. I am amazed how many people notice. The most common remark is how young I look and how am combing my hair differently. I tell them that I had a hair transplant and they are amazed. I am told that only 50% of my transplanted hair has started growing at 6 months and at one year 95% of them will have left the "dormant" stage. The thickest hair will be at about 1 1/2 year, but most think you have a full head of hair at one year because the eyes will not pick up the difference. Thank you NeoGraft. I am very pleased."
"As a woman with thinning hair I searched for years for a solution. I tried everything and had every test done to see what the problem was. There were no clear answers for me. I decided on NeoGraft because it was a minimally invasive procedure. Best decision I ever made."
Julia M.
"I am a 58 year old male who finally decided to do something about my hair loss. For years I had contemplated a hair transplant but did not want the long scar across the back of my head associated with the strip technique. Through an internet search I came across a process called the FUE technique whereby the donor area grafts are harvested individually (no strip taken) utilizing a technology called NeoGraft. I researched this method extensively and was very impressed with the results. Being from South Carolina I found that Dr. Finger in Savannah (just 45 minutes away) was already utilizing this process. I set up an appointment and now just 8 months later I have had two procedures totaling over 4,000 grafts. The procedure was painless and on both occasions I was back to work within just a few days. I would highly recommend Dr. Finger and his technicians as they are very experienced and make the whole process very comfortable."
Kevin (South Carolina)
"Male pattern baldness runs in my family. My father and two older brothers all lost their hair at a very early age. At 48, I thought I had beaten the odds and was going to have a decent head of hair for the rest of my life. As all men do in the morning when shaving, I noticed my hair on top getting a little thinner every month when at the age of 50 I too had lost about 50% of my hair up top. It really didn't bother me until I was forced into searching for a new job and finding out that my thinning hair may not help me with my search efforts. So as I researched my thinning hair options, I was not too pleased to hear about the surgery where they cut a strip of scalp from the back of the head. That's when I heard about NeoGraft, a simple procedure where they take small grafts from the back of the head and place them where you need them. This was much more appealing to me. After I consulted with Dr. Malouf, who actually had it done on himself (how about that for an endorsement) I was sold on the procedure. The procedure was painless and I was able to resume my normal activities the next day. Other than some minor swelling a few days after the procedure, I felt no discomfort. I will definitely recommend the NeoGraft procedure and Dr. Malouf to all my friends."
Winston R.
"I can't begin to tell you how happy I am with my new look after having a hair transplant. Although it's only been a few months, I can see the hair growth and thickness where I had no hair. I haven't involved myself in swimming or water skiing for years because of the way I looked. I can see light at the end of the tunnel regarding my sports and I couldn't be happier. The procedure was essentially painless and there was no need to take time off from work. Thank you."
Mark I. (Savannah, GA)
"After doing my research into hair restoration, there was no reason for me to consider anything else but the NeoGraft way. I did not want a scar on the back of my head. I wanted the option of a short hair cut or even a complete shave - down the road. I also did not want to go through the extended healing and pain of the strip method offered to me by Bosley. I was willing to pay more for NeoGraft. It just made sense."
Dan R.
"Wow! That is how I would have to describe the NeoGraft procedure that I had done at Finger and Associates. Dr. Finger and his staff were incredible and the procedure was amazingly simple! After I left the office I did not have to take any pain medication, and aside from wanting to itch the graft area, the procedure did not affect my daily life in the least. I am 44 years old and was balding in the crown area and have already had friends comment on the difference and it has only been 4 weeks! Thanks Dr. Finger for a great job and making me look and feel younger!!!"
Michael C
"I am 49 years old and get sick to my stomach every morning as I try harder and harder to cover up my thinning areas on my head. No matter how many times my wife tells me I am handsome and she loves me, she knows, for me, it is so much more than that. I just can't explain it completely. It just bothers me to no-end. I wish it didn't. But it does. So in doing my homework and talking to many consultant friends, I knew I did not want a big scar that looked like a smile on the back of my head and thus I would have to keep my hair at a longer length - I want to keep my hair short - if possible. I was advised to look into the NeoGraft FUE system offered at Dr. Malouf's office in Dallas. It was exactly the answer for me and I am thrilled. The procedure was so darn easy to tolerate. Recover was a breeze. Dr. Malouf and his staff were great. They delivered on every promise made."

Tricks of the (Zoo) Trade
We asked Zoo staff for their best 'insider tips' for a great Zoo experience. With so much on offer, it's easy to overlook some great (and often free!) opportunities.
Living in naturalistic exhibits full of trees, mounds and foliage allows the animals to interact with visitors or each other on their own terms. This helps assure their physical, psychological and social well-being. It also means that you may need to wait a little longer, watch more patiently and listen more keenly to spot some animals – just as though you were in the wild!
"Ride" a Zebra!
You can't miss our eight-seater zebra-themed electric vehicles as they cruise around the Zoo giving one-hour guided tours that make a Zoo visit extra memorable. Your guide can tailor a tour experience to suit you or you can leave yourself in their experienced hands and enjoy a relaxed tour.
Tours can be booked between 9:30am – 2:00pm daily and are $5 per adult or $4 per concession (babies/toddlers on laps are free). Minimum cost is $10.
Best Time of Day to See Animals
Just like people, zoo animals have different daily habits. Some are nocturnal, some are more active at dawn and dusk and some are very strictly on the day-shift! There's no one, good time to see every animal at their perky best but here's a guide:
- Aussie species – Tend to be most active in the cool of morning and late afternoon and sleep away the hottest part of the day.
- Carnivores – have evolved to be active when their prey is, so they'll be most interested in the world in the first and last hours of zoo opening times.
- Primates – their survival in the wild depends on them making a night-nest before it gets too dark. You'll see some of ours impatiently waiting for access to their night-quarters round about 4pm.
- Reptiles – Reptiles are sluggish in the cool of morning so that's the best time for daily maintenance of the dangerous/venomous residents of the Reptile Encounter behind locked doors. Try back at 10am.
- Creatures of the Night – we've reversed the lighting in the Nocturnal House so that you get to see the night-lovers out and about. But that means they are still a little sleepy as their (artificial) sun sets. They start getting busy from around 10am.
Feeding Times and Keeper Presentations
We mix up our feeding times for the animals to ensure they don't become habituated, but that doesn't mean you won't see the extra activity that usually comes with a feed.
Animals are mostly fed out there, on display, but if you don't find yourself in the right place at the right time then make sure you go along to the Walks and Talks. Keepers will sometimes incorporate a snack in their presentation to make sure that the animals are front-and-centre.
Join a Walking Tour, FREE!
You can wander the Zoo at your own pace and never know how much you've missed! Or, you can tag along on a free guided one-hour walking tour where your guide will share fascinating animal and conservation facts. The tours change daily but all tours leave at 11:00am (Oct-April) and 1:30pm daily. Ask at the Information Hub when you arrive for details of that day's walking tour.

I am looking to connect with classes around the world, grades 3-6, who are interested in early access to beta testing of a new innovative game, where kids can trade knowledge, collect it and play with it.
It's going to take about 6 months before we're ready with the beta version - but this is a really great opportunity not only to get an early access to this game, but also to affect how it is further developed.
The game is supportive of the Common Core Standards in Language Arts. It's aimed at supporting kids' curiosity and creativity while expanding their general knowledge.
Please let me know if you're interested and where your class is located.
This opportunity is open to any class with English speaking students around the world. Will ship European languages later.
Please feel free to feedback or ask anything either here or in a direct private message.
**Since I was asked: this is free.
The whole idea behind this development is idealistic.
I want kids to be able to develop their independent learner, wherever they are, independent of their economic background.

Team SoloMid: Nothing Less Than Being The Best
Cloud9: The Phoenix Rises
Versus: Head-to-Head and Predictions
There's never been a team quite as dominant as the Team SoloMid Summer 2016 roster. This isn't hyperbole; this is just fact. After Immortals' 17-1 regular season performance in the Spring split, TSM one-upped them with their own 17-1 record, this time in a Bo3 format. Perhaps most importantly, their game record against the other playoffs teams was an astonishing 20 wins and two losses.
Unlike Immortals, TSM managed to back up their regular season performance with a dismantling of reigning champions, CLG. Their roster makes up four-fifths of the NA LCS All Star team and they have the rookie and MVP of the split titles in their trophy cabinet. All that's missing for this all-conquering roster is an NA LCS Summer Final win.
At the start of the year, Biofrost was a little known Challenger support main. Playing in the LCS was just a dream, let alone playing on the biggest team in North America alongside the best AD Carry in North America. He watched the bigger name European star, Yellowstar, falter alongside Doublelift in a pairing that never quite clicked, all the while, biding his time in the Challenger scene.
When it became clear that TSM and Yellowstar would part ways; bigger names than his were brought up for his replacement. There was the everlasting shadow of former KT Rolster support Picaboo hanging over the support tryouts, former G2 support, Hybrid, and another former KT Rolster support, Ignar. To everyone's surprise, TSM decided to pick up Biofrost, and the rest was, as they say, history.
Many doubted whether Doublelift would ever build up a synergy like the one he had with Aphromoo, but his pairing with Biofrost has removed all of those doubts. Whether it be tanks or mages, on the front foot or the back, he's been the perfect support both for Doublelift and for the whole of TSM.
This will be the first time Biofrost plays in front of a massive capacity crowd at Air Canada Centre, and while he performed in the semifinals, whether he can do the same on a much bigger stage is yet to be seen.
Bjergsen's Prime?
Ever since he came to the NA LCS, Bjergsen has been the undisputed king of the mid lane. Slowly but surely, his rivals began to climb the summit towards challenging him, and the Spring split was arguably the most competitive in terms of mid laners. North American stalwart, Pobelter, was relishing his position on Immortals and fellow Dane, Jensen, had begun to flourish after a great Worlds performance.
Bjergsen was still the best mind you, but he certainly wasn't unchallenged. There was always the question of whether Bjergsen had another gear that could be unlocked if he was relieved of his duties as the main shot caller on TSM. Unfortunately, Yellowstar was not the answer to TSM's shot calling woes, and instead, it was Doublelift, long maligned as an all brawn no brain player, who took on the burden of the main shot caller.
Finally, Bjergsen would be able to focus on his gameplay, and we saw that next gear in his play. His incredibly strong laning remains a key point, but he's also improved his team fighting to become a well-rounded player who leads his team in all facets of the game. This might just be the prime of Bjergsen's career as he looks to compliment his third NA LCS MVP with a record third NA LCS championship.
Nothing Less Than Being The Best!
TSM and their fans have never accepted mediocrity. They've always wanted to not only be the best NA LCS team but also finally be the first NA LCS team to lift the Summoner's Cup. After several roster changes, they might be North America's best chance yet. But before that, they have to carve their names into the NA LCS title to enter Worlds as the undisputed best team in North America. An old enemy awaits them, but nothing will stop TSM on their date with destiny.
After two years and four straight finals, the NA LCS Final would not feature Team SoloMid and Cloud9. It was the end of an era as Hai retired at the end of the Spring split in 2015. For the next year, Cloud9 would be noticeable absentees as TSM traded blows with CLG in what looked to be the new clash of NA LCS titans.
Cloud9 waited patiently, biding their time and slowly rebuilt their roster. They first brought in Jensen and after trialing former Team Impulse jungler, Rush, they brought back a refreshed Meteos. They completed the new roster with veteran top laner, Impact, and former Team Liquid support, Smoothie. That left Sneaky as the only member of Cloud9 to play in every single split of their LCS history. It was also the roster that would return them to their former glory. Cloud9 is back in the NA LCS Final, and they're up against their old enemy, Team SoloMid.
Top Lane - Who's Island Is This?
Both Hauntzer and Impact play a similar style. Both of them play a variety of meta champions, don't take many resources, and don't get much jungle pressure. If this were the regular season, it would be easy to give this matchup to Hauntzer, but Impact's incredible performance against Huni has him catapulting back into contention.
But even with Impact coming off of the series of his life, I still have to give it to Hauntzer. Not only has he been the more consistent top laner, but he's not going to be coming at Impact in the same manner as Huni. Impact might have been able to soak up the pressure of Huni and Reignover in the semifinal, but TSM won't be sending any pressure top. This is going to be a farm lane, and the real difference will come in the team fights, which is where both TSM and Hauntzer have succeeded.
Jungle - Under Pressure
Svenskeren's long been pointed to as the single weak link left on an incredible TSM roster. It's not completely unfair criticism, either. TSM's only series loss in the regular season came to a fired up Pheonix1 who's jungler, Inori, got up in Sven's face, and Sven floundered.
Neither of these junglers enjoys being pressured. Meteos was the original NA LCS farm jungler, while Sven was the aggressive perma-invading European jungler. Both of them have had to tone down the play that they debuted with, primarily playing Rek'sai and Gragas. Sven might have given up his infamous Lee Sin, but he still has his often banned Nidalee which is a champion Meteos doesn't play. It's a champion that can constantly invade the enemy jungle and put a wrench in the works for Meteos and Cloud9. Again, it's a close matchup, but once again I have to give the nod to Svenskeren.
Mid Lane - The Clash of the Danes
When Jensen first came to the NA LCS, his matchup against Bjergsen was pointed to as a must-see and even though Jensen didn't have the same debut season as Bjergsen he eventually reached the heights that he was famed for.
The start of the Summer split was the Jensen Show. It was seemingly impossible to hit Jensen with a skill shot as he dominated mid laner after mid laner with his mechanical prowess. Gradually, however, teams began to pick on the little mistakes he made. It appeared as though he was a little too easy to gank and teams took that opportunity. Sure, he managed to make it out of most of the ganks, but eventually some stuck and that led to some problems for Cloud9. Jensen reminds me of a young Bjergsen. He's a little brash, aggressive and always trusts in his mechanical ability to get him out of sticky situations. That results in some new episodes of the Jensen Show like his performance against Team EnVyUs where he racked up 20 kills on Leblanc but can also lead to his downfall.
This year Bjergsen has matured into the player he was destined to become. No longer the primary shot caller on TSM, he's had the time to refine his play towards a state of near perfection. His laning, skirmishing, and team fighting are all exemplary, and he leads all mid layers with a 7.1 KDA. In nearly every statistic he either leads or is in the top 3, and he does all of this with the second lowest gold share of all mid laners. This is Bjergsen like you've never seen him before. He's a lean, mean, fighting machine and despite Jensen's abilities, he's no match for the best mid laner in North America.
AD Carry - Are You A Laner Or A Team Fighter?
Doublelift and Sneaky have both taken turns at being the best AD Carry in North America, and they come into this final as the top two AD Carries in the region. Doublelift has always considered himself the best laning ADC in North America, while Sneaky -- his Lucian performance against Samsung Blue excluded -- has always been seen as more of a team fighting ADC.
Sneaky was the original Jhin player and a well renowned Ashe player, whereas Doublelift has favored more damage oriented carries like Lucian and Sivir. Doublelift has only played one game of Jhin and four games of Ashe while Sneaky has played Ashe and Jhin a total of 28 times. With standard lanes prevalent, Doublelift has the edge there while if Sneaky gets one of his favored champions, he'll be a threat in the team fights.
Support - Let Me Tell You About My Lord and Saviour, Bard.
Biofrost has had one of the most incredible rookie splits in North American history as he paired with Doublelift to make the most fearsome bot lane in the league. Smoothie spent the beginning of the split sharing time with Bunny FuFuu, but he eventually secured the starter spot and tried to grow a synergy with Sneaky.
Both these players are incredible Bard players. Biofrost is undefeated with eight wins and zero losses, while Smoothie has only dropped one game in seven games. Biofrost has shown a higher proficiency on the other meta supports, however. He has an 83.3% win rate in 18 games on Karma, while Smoothie has a much more pedestrian 37.5% win rate in eight games. Both Biofrost and Smoothie are new to the big stage, though, and it will be interesting to see how both fair.
Honestly, it's going to be hard for Cloud9 to pull off an upset against TSM. TSM have slight leads in every position, but at their best Cloud9's players can match them. An even bigger concern for Cloud9 is that even outside of their matchups as players, they are also a weaker macro team.
If Cloud9 have any chance of winning it'll be with Sneaky on either Ashe or Jhin and Jensen on Taliyah or Syndra. These champs will let them create picks and try and drag TSM into small skirmishes. If they let TSM just play the map, however, they will have next to no chance. My prediction is a 3-0 for TSM. It might seem harsh, but there's a reason TSM have been so dominant this split, and I'm going to back them to lift the NA LCS trophy for a record fourth time.

Cloud9's postseason success comes as a bit of a surprise. After a wavering performance against EnVyUs, the team struck back in a big way taking down Immortals. Over the course of 2 weeks we've seen performances that have far exceeded expectations and with a daunting match against TSM this weekend such improvements are the base of any chance the team has at pulling off another miracle upset.
The Return of SKT T1 K Impact
Despite spending two years in NA, Impact has been rather inconspicuous. While his synergy with Rush on Team Impulse was something to behold he failed to create that same bond with Moon or Meteos and was mostly relied on as a pillar of stability rather than a playmaking star. However, with his matchup against Huni and Reignover, he showed the skill that earned him a world championship title.
Despite all the camping by Reignover and every attempt to get Huni snowballing, Impact remained an immovable object in the top lane with strong performances on Gangplank that would carry him past Huni's Riven in game 2. However, it was his performance on Gnar that was the real show stopper crushing Huni in the counter matchup even when Reignover was present for the ganks. It was so shocking that it forced a ban towards the pick at which point Impact switched to Ekko and still went about crushing Huni in lane.
After several splits of mediocrity, Impact has finally awoken from his slumber, and the results so far have been incredible. Whether he can continue the form shown in the semifinal is another question entirely.
By the Book
The other major strength of C9 in playoffs has been their ability to read their opponent's moves and counter them with their own. While Impact was soaking pressure in the top lane, Meteos was able to get his bot lane ahead with constant tower dives. Playing around their bot lane has allowed Sneaky to take over and become the shining carry in their team fights.
What they struggled with is the textbook problems of Cloud9 this split; once in an all-out fight they often come out short against top teams. Their response to this was running pick comps for most of the game with champions like Ashe and Syndra. They relied on these long range stuns to be able to quickly burst out high-value carries they found out of position. When it worked it worked, incredibly well but in even skirmishes, Cloud9 would often come up short. If the team wants to win the finals, they need to fix this weakness because TSM looks untouchable in terms of both skirmishing and all-out team fighting.
Cloud9 is coming in as the underdogs, and their journey to the top has been far from flawless. Still with their individual skill they have what it takes to put a dent in TSM's playoff run and if they can step up their skirmishing and team fighting they can win the whole thing. Their destiny is in their hands and with a win meaning much more for them than to TSM in terms of qualifying for worlds it's clear that Cloud9 is going to come out swinging.

I have read a few ****** discussions on how best to hang it, but there are a few conflicting solutions. My plan so far is to drill 5-4" holes into the wall and into the beam and secure rebar to the wall and then slide the beam on. My main questions are will this work and what type of adhesive/glue should I put into the holes and on the back of the beam to make sure it can't slide off. Thanks!

Let's be honest; Many people think that they strive and typically do not like it very much. When slimming down, you rapidly think of dull meals, debilitating workouts and resisting all sort of temptations.
As if that were insufficient, you can frequently get the feeling of avoiding parties and events, simply since you do not wish to torture yourself with all the junk food and alcoholic drinks that you are not allowed to eat.
Yet there are lots of methods and suggestions to drop weight, so it does not have to be so heavy or unpleasant at all. In this post I provide you 9 golden ideas to drop weight, makings losing weight fun and much easier!
Do only healthy messages
Withstanding temptations is easiest, if there are as couple of temptations as possible. If you just get healthy food in the house, then you have no choice however to eat healthy. That method you barely have to keep your house.
The opportunity that you get a lot of calories with healthy consuming is much smaller. Healthy eating is merely less addicting.
Focus on exactly what you do
If you wish to lose weight, you will always have to avoid particular foods. Yet you must not be too busy with this, since you will constantly keep thinking of not being permitted to eat these food that you may like. If you continuously think about sweet and oily food (which eventually makes you fat), it is really hard to leave this food.
Choose healthy consuming
If you are a bit imaginative, you can make great deals of tasty meals with healthy eating. For example, adequate waste recipes can be found on the internet.
You will see that a world opens for you. A world that you did unknown in the past, due to the fact that most of the advertisements about food do not inform you anything about making delicious and healthy meals. You can earn less loan with healthy food.
When you have actually reached the rhythm and eat delicious and healthy practically every day, after a while you do not even want to eat as you used to. You see that you get more energy from healthy eating and it does not have to be hard to make a great healthy meal. So weight-loss is still great?
Set practical goals
Start slimming down if you know precisely what you want to achieve with it. Individuals frequently start with a weight reduction program and have a shallow goal. They wish to reduce weight for a wedding event, a beach vacation, or other unique event. This is not wrong in itself, however that makes it challenging to get begun.
Do not focus excessive on the date on which you really desire that slim body. Discover on your own how you wish to attain your objective and compose it down, since an objective without a strategy is not a goal, but a desire!
Create healthy practices
Transforming your day-to-day routines takes some effort and habituation, however these become routines after 2 to 4 weeks. Routines are the easiest to sustain, so when they are healthy, dropping weight will cost you less effort and will for that reason become much more fun and enjoyable.
Think about which daily routines you are going to alter or include that will make you live healthier and for that reason lose weight. It may be that you agree with yourself on what minutes you will exercise, you consume a few glasses of water, you start to cook healthy and more.
Do a fun sport
There are a great deal of experts who claim that with their sports approach you can burn the very best fat, however then you need to stay with such a method. That is why it is not constantly essential which sport is best, but which sport you like the most.
I am encouraged that everyone can discover a method of moving that he or she likes to do and can therefore sustain for a long period. Therefore, search for a sport that fits you and you will see that this not just works to burn fat much faster, but you will likewise be able to unwind better and believe more plainly.
Reward yourself
Reward yourself after losing another 2 kilos is the method to keep it enjoyable on your own. Ensure you do not reward yourself with junk food, since junk food will not have to be viewed as a benefit.
Treat yourself to something else like a bath, purchase brand-new cosmetics or clothes, take images of yourself or inform your pals that you have dropped weight once again. They will take pride in you and that will likewise feel like a good benefit.
Imagine your end result
Imagine every day what it would resemble to be as thin as you would like. Do you see yourself depending on your bikini on the beach? How will you feel? Terrific!
Hold this feeling and think of how you can get closer to your objective today. You will effortlessly be able to create something and hold on to it. Great is not it?
Leave your comfort zone
This is a difficult problem for many people. If you have actually been accustomed to particular patterns all your life and you're not paying adequate focus on the options you make, a lot of these ideas for dropping weight can be really challenging to follow. You may find the conflict with yourself tough, or you are somebody who does not dare to attempt new things rapidly. It might also be that you choose to go with the crowd, because that is the most convenient.
Yet you will get an excellent and satisfied feeling if you try out some pointers to reduce weight in this post. These pointers will not only assist you to reduce weight, however you will be very proud of yourself since you have actually started a brand-new path and discovered brand-new things.

Ok I have been talking about this quilt long enough, it's time to start. The book I am using is, "Judy Martin's Log Cabin Quilt Book".
You can see it here: http://www.judymartin.com/products.cfm?page=2&action=detail&prod=37&CatID=1
Scroll down to the bottom of the page and you will see a twin size of the quilt. I will be making a twin size for now.
NOTE: I have been working on this quilt for two weeks now off and on but I am just posting the make up of it.
Did I mention that Log Cabin Quilts are my favorite? I love scraps so it stands to reason that I would love this quilt. Every quilt in this book is to die for. Judy did a good job on this book of logs.
This would be a great quilt to make for the Christmas season. If you use a red theme like Judy's. I see a lot of red, it makes the quilt warm. It would also look great in blues or greens for a cool look. There is a handsome Green River quilt in the book also. You can colorize this quilt or just make it with light and dark values, which is what I am going to do for now, things may change.
I always do a couple blocks of a quilt to familiarize myself with the blocks. I cut a few strips and made this block last night.
I can see already, that I need to pull some strips out of the light side. I will make another block and see how that looks to me. The block ended up more that 9.5, so I will have to check to see what I need to adjust...
I will be posting as I go along making the blocks and putting it together. If anyone would like to make this quilt along with me, now is the time. You can ask question etc. I will be working on this quilt until it is finished, so stay tuned.
Once I do a block I will go ahead and do the number of those same blocks that I need, so It might be a while before I post another different block but in the meantime you can ask question or make a block and see how you do. This is an awesome quilt and so worth the effort.
I have a tv on my cutting cabinet. I have Netflix streaming movies into it lol and I have a bunch of Perry Mason in my instant list. I put one on and started to cut the dark strips some days ago.
I cut strips from 13 different fabrics so far. I don't have a color theme just light and dark and color doesn't matter. I will pay attention however, as to where the strips will be placed to each other and that is fun for me.
I have a few more dark fabric to cut as I like lots of different fabric in a scrap quilt. I have a head start on the lights but need to cut lots more.
I have a nice little square container that sheets came in and my darks fit nicely in it. I have labled the strips with the letters, as per the book.
Another thing I have done to make my life easy lol, is to copy and enlarge Judy's diagrams. She has two diagrams for each block, one is lettered and one is numbered for the position and size. I use the lettered diagram and put the numbers from the corresponding diagram on the strips. Now I just have one diagram to look at and it's larger and easy for me to see
I also copy the instruction sheets as sometimes I write notes, so I keep my book like new and the sheets are easier to handle.
I take my time when cutting the strips as they must be accurate to make this quilt successfull and I will check the strips here and there as I sew to make sure they are coming out right. It is better to catch any mistakes in the beginning.
I will make one block at a time for at least four blocks and check them for accuracy, by that time I will be very familiar with the blocks and then I will do some speed piecing.
I am never in a hurry when quilting so the cutting will take about three days as I will only cut for a couple hours at a time but remember, I will cutting lots and lots of strips. Once I am done, it will be easy street as the sewing is easy for me.
Here is a pic little rose fairy watching lol.
I pulled out some more lights. I can't believe my stash ahahahahah. I am only cutting for block W, at the moment so I get a break from all the cutting at once.
The rose bud in the front is the one that I will use next to the red cornerstones on every block, so that in itself will create an effect. I needed two yards for those and I had enough of that fabric....just what I wanted.
Ok, here is the second block and the one I am going to go by. The first one is now in the scrap basket lol.
Some of the strips require that you join several pieces before you add that strip to the rest of the block.
The way I am doing it, so as not to get confused....I have numbered and lettered the graph and then made a row of numbers on the same sheet from 1-16 , that is the number of rows required for one block. I check off the row numbers as I do them.
I would finger press the strip and then when I joined the entire row strip, I would press with the dry iron.
I lay the entire block out before sewing it together. The advantage of laying out the block is that you can choose to remove a strip before sewing it. It does look different when seen side by side with all the other strips and to me, it's easy to just pick up the next set and go.
I still have the graph to look at and the chart with the size etc.
I pinned the finished block to my blocking pad and pinned it in place and spray starched and pressed with a up and down motion. The block came out a perfect 9.5 and that means that my sewing and cutting are ok.
It is going well. As you can see, I don't hurry as I enjoy the whole sewing process and I dont' care if it takes a long time. The end result will be the time you spend on it.
BTW, notice that I use the same rosebud fabric right after the red log. I think it will look real pretty in the finished quilt. I also wanted a distinct light seperation....
Also, I was careful that the lights and darks had a good contrast when I picked the fabrics. Like I said, I wasn't concerned with color, just contrast and lots of texture. I love texture.
I have been sewing for a few days but I am just posting my progress to the blog. I finished 7 blocks so far on that particular day and I love the way the pink bud is looking in the blocks. It takes six blocks for one row.
I finished two rows and starting on a third, it's going quite well now, as I am speed piecing now lol.
Row number 3 and I am loving it more and more. I know it's a lot of sewing but if approached it with the attitude that one is making an heirloom, one doesn't mind at all.
I am enjoying every minute of this quilt as I love the way it is showing. It has a certain overall glaze of sheer color that really doesn't show in this pic...it's amazing what happens with color....This is not a good pic. I will take a pic outside when it's all quilted and done and then we will see the overall effect in the daylight.
When I look at it here in person, I see a pink glow and it's so pretty.
I thought I might just write this info as I go along.
When I am going to do a lot of sewing, I like to use my Brother Quilt Club 1300 or my old Singer. They both have speed. The plus on the brother is that it has a sissor, a 1/4 foot and a 1/4 inch marking. It also is only for straight sewing with a one hole needle plate, which is what you want to use for straight sewing, as the stitches are more perfect and no grabbing of the fabric into the feed-dog like a zig -zag plate might do. I can start at the very beginning and not worry about the fabric being eaten.
I am writing this as I am sewing in case it might be useful for a beginner.
When I am sewing the strips, I back tack at the beginning and at the end, it's quick on this machine and more secure for my patches. I back tack everything. When I come to the end of the stip, I back tack but don't come forward yet to finish it, instead I put the other strip next to it and as I finish sewing the forward of the previous backtack strip, the new strip is getting pulled in and sewed.
When I cut the strips, I cut the longest one first, then the rest and so one. This way I have sizes of each strip to pick and choose from and there is very little waste. I cut from a set of four strips at one time.
Row six and just two more to go and then it's on to the inner borders. There was never any boredom or tired of working on it feelings. Everyday, I wanted to work on it and I think the key is knowing when to quit.
I would do six block and then the first six strips of the next set of six blocks, and then quit, so the next day I only have 10 strips to go and they go fast as I have all my strips organized. I am watching Sherlock Holmes now and I don't even know where the time goes.
I take breaks to do small things here and there, go outside with the dogs and sit a spell and watch all the lovely greenery and the sky and then I am refreshed again for the next stint of sewing.
I am still sewing it's 12.22 pm and I'm not tired. I thought I would share some my take-outs of quilting. In a quilt like this one, I don't cut all the strips or all the patches. I would find it overwhelming and loose interest if I were to look at a huge stack of patches that I had to sew up.
I realized my limits a long time ago. I had a few UFO's and I don't like that lol. I realized that it was so much better to cut a little and sew a little. In this quilt for instance, to give you an idea. I cut enough for four rows of 24 blocks more or less. I don't know at the time, that that is the amount that I cut.I just stop at a certain point when I feel the limit lol.
I always make between one to four blocks to see if I like the look or to get the feel for the quilt and I am so glad I do that. It is better to catch whatever you don't like right at the beginning.
After I am familiar with the block construction, I start to speed piece. I only speed piece 6 blocks at a time, my limit. I can't bear to do more than six at a time. I find it very satisfying to finish six blocks, press and block them and put them on the board. When I see progress, I get more excited to go finish some more blocks. Six blocks finish a row in the middle of this quilt.
Now when I start doing the border blocks, I am sure I will either divide them up into six and two or do the whole row. It depends how I feel about it at the time.
Sometime it pays to know your limit, so you don't feel overwhelmed.
Here are all the blocks sewed together.I sewed the blocks and rows together last night, I just couldn't wait. I love the way this quilt turned out. I can actually see ripples of water, it's playing tricks with my eyes lol. I imagine the dark is the snake and the light is the river, imagination is funny lol.
I have errands to do today so I won't get back to sewing on the border until later this afternoon. So far I have sewed together 2,304 pieces. It seems like a lot but it doesn't feel that way. 48 blocks and 48 piece in each block.
Remember I said I have a limit of how much I cut at one time? It turned out that I had actually cut enough of the darks and still have some left over, who knew? I just had to cut very little more of the lights. The reds and the rose bud, I had to keep cutting as I ran out, there are a lot of those lol.
The border is going to be a piece of cake. I will do the inner border today for sure. It's just squares of light.
It was easy to put the blocks and rows together. Thank goodness for the board. I took down two blocks sewed them together and opened them up. I did two more and kept adding to the row. Then I put the row back on the board and did the other row. I then sewed those two rows together and put them back on the board, so that made two rows sewed together.
I continued this way and then sewed the sets of two rows together and so on. I made sure to look at my chart to make sure I had them turned the right way. I did that every time I handled a row and there were no mistakes, thank goodness.....ok off to do errands
Now I will work on the inner border. The inner border consist of squares of all the light fabrics, sewed together for each side.
Inner border is now attached. I am taking a break today and will work on the outer border tomorrow.
NOTE: What I have learned from this quilt. If you look at the quilt you can see where the rows join. I missed this little ditty. I should have choosen the same dark at the end of each block so they would meld into each other and no visible line would be seen, but never mind is all good until next time. You learn something new with everything.
