Here are a few photos of the quilt I'm working on now. This is a big one, measuring roughly 80'' by 100'' once it's finished, which I think makes it the biggest quilt I've ever made.
I'm using all solids in the quilt and the blocks are each 20 inches square, so it's coming together pretty quickly.
The design of each block is a combination of improvisational piecing to construct each cross section, which is then added to four large cream squares.
And I love the little pops of blue.
I'm pretty happy with how it's turning out so far, although honestly I'm a little nervous to start quilting it. It's BIG. I think I'm going to try to tackle it on my Old Blue, after a little more practice time on the machine.

AFA CB Rembert wants to play WR
At 5 foot 8 inches, 185 pounds, Air Force senior cornerback Reggie Rembert is one of the smallest players attending the Mountain West Football Media Day.
While some might dismiss his chances of playing any position in Division I football, Rembert is actively lobbying coach Troy Calhoun to line up at wide receiver, as well.
Rembert often plays on the offensive side when the Falcons are missing players for 7-on-7 summer drills. With all the summer military assignments and on-campus activities, it's a wonder anyone has time for football conditioning.
"I'm kind of driven to make it happen," Rembert said of his time management skills. "We have to find a way to work out. Whether we go one 1-on-1 or 7-on-7, some people have to play receiver who don't normally play receiver."
Rembert saw some action at receiver in 2008 but broke his hand last October on a kickoff return.
"He'd love to play kick returner, punt returner, nickel, cornerback and wide receiver," said Calhoun. He won't go both ways, at least not initially.
Besides Rembert's campaigning, Calhoun said he also hears requests from the offensive staff.
Incidentally, AFA placed both corners, Rembert and Anthony Wright, on the All-MWC preseason team.

MLB Notebook: Bucs, Reds power up in Cincy
Pirates have three sets of back-to-back homers in slugfest at Great American Ball Park
In the top of the eighth inning at Crosley Field on Aug.12, 1966, the Pirates' Willie Stargell led off the frame with a flyout against Reds left-hander Joe Nuxhall. In a double switch, Nuxhall was then replaced (in the batting order) by Art Shamsky, who took his glove out to left field.
Shamsky then took his bat to the plate in the bottom half of the inning, and with a man on first, he hit a two-run home run to give Cincinnati an 8-7 lead. Jerry Lynch, a former pinch-hitting star with the Reds, then tied up the game in the top of the ninth with a solo homer. Aside from the drama of a game-tying pinch-hit home run in a team's final at-bat, Lynch's blast also gave Shamsky the opportunity to make some history.
The left fielder came to bat in the bottom half of the 10th, and in response to Stargell's solo home run in the top half of that frame, Shamsky hit his own homer with the bases empty. In the bottom of the 11th, Shamsky came up to bat with one runner on and his team down by two, then homered yet again to tie the score.
A go-ahead homer in the eighth, a game-tying home run in the 10th and another game-tying shot in the 11th -- not bad for a man who was a spectator until the eighth.
Shamsky became just the third player to hit a pair of extra-inning home runs, and the first (and still only) player to hit three home runs in a game after being left out of the starting lineup. It was all part of a crazy night in Cincinnati in which the Bucs and Reds combined for 11 home runs to set a National League record -- seemingly the only type of game that can serve as a worthy companion to what just recently took place between Pittsburgh and Cincinnati at Great American Ball Park.
Bucs, Reds club 10 combined homers
In the conclusion of their suspended game from the night before, the Pirates got an RBI single from Russell Martin in the top of the seventh for the go-ahead run, and defeated the Reds, 8-7, on Tuesday.
In one of the more fascinating games of the season -- and recent memory -- Martin's RBI single was the second of the game, with the first run of the contest coming in the top of the first on an RBI single from Andrew McCutchen. In between, the two teams combined to hit 10 home runs.
Some notes from this extraordinary affair:
• The 10 combined home runs set a new record for Great American Ball Park, which opened in 2003.
• The 10 combined home runs were two shy of the Major League record of a dozen, accomplished twice by the Tigers and White Sox (first in 1995, and then again in 2002), and one shy of the NL record of 11 (accomplished four previous times). In the case of the NL record, the Pirates and Reds are one of the entrants, having combined for 11 in that 13-inning affair on Aug. 12, 1966.
• In three separate innings, the Bucs hit back-to-back home runs, with Neil Walker and Gaby Sanchez doing it in both the second and sixth innings, and Starling Marte and Travis Snider accomplishing the feat in the fifth frame. Pittsburgh was the third team to have three back-to-back homer occurrences in the same game, joining the 1977 Red Sox (June 17) and the 1956 Reds (Aug. 18).
• The Pirates had two players (Walker and Sanchez) hit a pair of home runs. It marked the second time this season the Bucs had at least two players with multiple homers (also April 9 vs. Cubs). Dating back to 1914, the Pirates had never had two such games so early in a season.
• The Pirates' six solo homers tied the NL record for a nine-inning game, most recently accomplished by the Braves (also against the Reds) on May 31, 1996.
In Cincinnati's 7-5 win over Pittsburgh in the regularly scheduled contest for Tuesday, first baseman Joey Votto had four hits and drew a walk in a perfect 4-for-4 night at the plate. In his Reds career, Votto has had seven games in which he's collected at least five plate appearances and reached safely in each one. Looking at the Reds' history since 1914, those seven tie Votto with Sean Casey for the sixth most. Pete Rose tops the list with 18 such performances, and Barry Larkin follows with 13. Vada Pinson comes in third with nine, and then Frank Robinson and Joe Morgan are tied with eight.
Rangers blanking the opposition
The Rangers blanked the Mariners, 5-0, to run their record to 7-7, including four team shutouts. The total of four shutouts through 14 games tied the 2014 and 1979 clubs for the most in Rangers franchise history.
Three of the four shutouts have come at home. Texas also produce three home shutouts through the team's first 14 games in the 1979 and '81 seasons. The three team shutouts at home this year are already more than the following full years produced for this franchise: 1992 (zero), '87 and 2003 (one home shutout apiece); 1964, '82, '84, 2002 and 2010 (two).
The 1990 Brewers, with five, were the most recent team to have more than four team shutouts through their first 14 games.
Trout does it all
In the Angels' 10-9 loss to the Athletics, Mike Trout fell a triple shy of the cycle, stole his first base of the season, drove in three runs and scored twice.
Since the beginning of the 2012 season, here are Trout's MLB ranks:
• First in runs, times on base and OPS+
• Second in batting average, on-base percentage, total bases, steals (tied), OPS, wOBA and wRC+
• Fourth in slugging percentage, fifth in hits and extra-base hits and 13th in home runs
Here and there
• Giancarlo Stanton homered (his fifth of the year) and tied a career high with five RBIs as the Marlins defeated the Nationals, 11-2. Stanton is tied for second in the NL in home runs and leads in RBIs, with 21. Before Stanton, no Marlins player had driven in as many as 21 runs through the club's first 15 games. The most recent players before Stanton to do it were the Dodgers' Matt Kemp (22) and Andre Ethier (21) in 2012. The Miami outfielder is now just nine RBIs shy of matching Moises Alou's 1997 high mark for any Marlins player in a March/April.
• In a three-hit night, Oakland third baseman Josh Donaldson contributed a double, and shortstop Jed Lowrie had a pair of two-base hits among his three total hits. Last season, the duo became the 13th American League third base/shortstop combo to each produce at least 60 extra-base hits in a season, and just the second A's combo to do it, joining third baseman Eric Chavez and shortstop Miguel Tejada (who were responsible for three of the previous 12 times it had had happened in the AL, doing this in 2001, '02 and '03).

De Aza, Viciedo to share playing time in left field
CHICAGO -- With Alejandro De Aza hitting seventh and right-hander Ricky Nolasco on the mound for the Twins, what looks to be a White Sox platoon with right-handed-hitting Dayan Viciedo officially took shape on Opening Day.
But White Sox general manager Rick Hahn cautioned that playing time in left field will be more merit based than only decided by a righty or lefty on the mound.
"[Manager] Robin [Ventura] is going to fill out the lineup card with options that give him the best chance to win on a given day," Hahn told MLB.com concerning the De Aza/Viciedo split. "Conceivably it breaks down into a straight left-right platoon, but I don't think it's going to be just that simplistic.
"Sometimes the defense is going to factor into it. Sometimes the player's individual history against a pitcher is going to factor into it, as well as physical or clubhouse issues that the world is not privy to could impact who is in the lineup on a given day."
"Again, it's about having talented options for him to choose from," Hahn said. "Not necessarily sticking to set roles."
Viciedo, 25, starts his third full big league season with the White Sox, and he has shown flashes of dominance over the first two. The powerful native of Cuba also has shown maddening inconsistency at the plate in that same timeframe.
Hahn isn't worried about losing a young, talented player such as Viciedo, who still could be part of the growing core where a soon-to-be 30-year-old De Aza might not eventually reside. He's also cognizant that Viciedo remains a work in progress and realizes that the more big league time he has probably translates into better on-field results.
"At the same time, he's going to have to earn those opportunities and show that he's responding to some of the things [hitting coach] Todd [Steverson] is trying to implement from an offensive standpoint in order to get further opportunities," Hahn said. "Dayan had a very good spring. I think De Aza had a great spring.
"Even looking beyond the performance, knowing some of the conversations that took place between Todd and the players, I think Viciedo really gets where we want him now and what we are expecting from him in terms of his approach as an offensive player. He's responded well to that. It's a matter of him executing it in games."
De Aza starred in the club's Opening Day victory over the Twins with two home runs and three RBIs.

A man was shot to death in the Marquette Park neighborhood and at least four other people were wounded in shootings across Chicago overnight.
Police discovered the dead man around 10:30 p.m. in the 6300 block of South Francisco Avenue, a few doors north of 64th Street. No name was being released, and the man was dead on the scene, according to the Cook County medical examiner's office. Relatives said he was 30 years old.
The man was standing on the street when someone came up to him and shot him in the head, said Chicago Police News Affairs Officer Jose Estrada.
Around the same time, a 22-year-old man was shot in the 1200 block of West 73rd Place in Englewood. He was listed in good condition at Saint Bernard Hospital and Healthcare Center.
Another man was shot in a robbery moments later in the 1600 block of East 70th Street in the South Shore neighborhood. The man, age 34, was on the street when three men or boys came up to him, robbed him of his wallet and other property, and shot at him when he tried to run away, Estrada said.
The man was grazed in the head and taken to Jackson Park Hospital in good condition.
Around 12:05 a.m., a 28-year-old man was shot several times in the 6500 block of South Eberhart Avenue in the West Woodlawn neighborhood.
The man was sitting on the front porch of a home in that area when a man or boy with a handgun came up and shot him several times, then fled on foot. The man suffered gunshots to the face and each arm, but his condition was stabilized at John H. Stroger Hospital of Cook County, Estrada said.
Another man was found with a gunshot wound at 71st Street and Ashland Avenue in Englewood about 2:15 a.m., Estrada said. Police found the 26-year-old in that area, and he claimed to have been shot near 6600 South State St., Estrada said. But the man, who was drunk, refused to cooperate with police, including refusing to say how he got to Ashland Avenue, and was taken to Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn for treatment.

A 40-year-old nurse and mother of three died of strangulation, not the fire that ravaged her Oak Forest home this week, police said this afternoon.
Erica L. Rodriguez's death has been ruled a homicide after an autopsy by the Cook County medical examiner's office today.
"We will continue the investigation and will be relentless until we bring the responsible party to justice," said Oak Forest Police Chief Gregory Anderson in a written statement.
About 9 a.m. Tuesday authorities responded to a house in the 15200 block of Central Avenue in Oak Forest, where Rodriguez was found dead and her husband, 48-year-old Martin Rodriguez, was found critically injured, Anderson said.
Rodriguez was pronounced dead at 10:03 a.m. at Palos Community Hospital, according to the Cook County medical examiner's office.
Martin Rodriguez suffered critical injuries and was first taken to South Suburban Hospital in Hazel Crest and then to Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn, Anderson said.
Martin Rodriguez's throat was severely cut and "he was also burned very severely," Anderson said.
Police have not been able to talk to Martin Rodriguez because of the severity of his injuries, Anderson said today.
Three children who live at the home -- girls 17 and 6, and a boy, 15 -- were at school at the time of the fire, police said. They are staying with a family member.
Martin Rodriguez's daughter, 27-year-old Alejandra Rodriguez of Grand Rapids, Mich., had visited the family in September.
She said her stepmother, Erica Rodriguez, worked weekends so she could spend more time with her children during the week and attend their athletic events.
"She was a very good mom," Alejandra Rodriguez said.
She traveled to Oak Forest to introduce her dad and siblings to her 1-year-old daughter, Tatiana, Martin Rodriguez's first grandchild.
"He just smiled really big, he was excited. He said, 'She looks just like you,'" she said, starting to cry. "I just hope he's OK."
Neighbor Lydia Ponczak said she heard the sirens and then saw thick smoke, which appeared to be billowing from the home's kitchen.
"You know that those three children will be left with this horrible memory," she said. "I feel very sorry for the children."
Neighbor Sheila Browne said she saw emergency responders carrying Martin Rodriguez away.
"I was just so shocked by the whole scene," she said. "There was smoke everywhere."
Browne said Erica Rodriguez was always friendly and helped once in particular two years ago by talking her through her grief after she lost her mother.
"She more so just listened," Browne said.
A passer-by called in the fire about 9 a.m., and eight firetrucks and about four or five ambulances were at the scene, Anderson said. The two-story beige home was severely damaged and roped off with yellow caution tape.
Family and friends of Erica Rodriguez have established a fund for her three children.
"The children have very few belongings left and we would appreciate and love any support and help that we could get," said Rodriguez's father, John Johnson, in a written statement.
Latest Breaking News
Rodriguez's 17-year-old daughter, 15-year-old son and 6-year-old daughter were at school during the fire, which destroyed their home. Oak Forest police said Rodriguez's death is being investigated as a homicide.
"Erica was the most beautiful person in the world and she was extremely proud of and loved her children," said family friend Rhana Peloquin, in a written statement.
The Trust Rodriguez Family Fund is at the Carlinville National Bank - Oak Forest, police said.
New toys and clothes for the Rodriguez children can be dropped off at the Oak Forest Police Department, 15440 South Central Avenue.
The Oak Forest Police and Fire departments, the South Suburban Major Crimes Task Force and the State Fire Marshal's office will continue investigating. "We're exploring all avenues," Anderson said.

Sometimes, people used to tell Lance Orton not to be such a busybody, but the Vietnam veteran and Times Square T-shirt salesman can't help it. When he sees something wrong, he has to report it.
Nobody's complaining about Orton now, not after he alerted a mounted policeman when he noticed smoke coming from a parked SUV in New York City Saturday evening. Inside the vehicle were the makings of a crude firebomb — propane tanks, gasoline, fireworks and alarm-clock detonators. The vendor is being hailed as a hero who may have saved uncounted lives through his alertness.
"People take it lightly," Orton told TODAY's Meredith Vieira and Matt Lauer on Monday. "I've had a few situations where I've told people about things; they say, 'That's nothing.' But you can't take that attitude."

Orton was wounded in Vietnam and gets around with a cane. He said he was sitting next to his wares when he saw a Nissan Pathfinder parked with its emergency flashers on and its motor running. A small amount of smoke was coming out of it.
The hero vendor said he didn't see who got out of the vehicle because of a performance on the other side of the street. "I was distracted by the crowd," he said.
Alerting authorities
But then he saw the vehicle. "I wondered why nobody noticed it," he said.
One of Orton's helpers suggested calling 911. Orton said he pointed at mounted police officer Wayne Rhatigan, who was on duty in Times Square.
"There's a patrolman right there on the horse. I asked one of my guys, 'Go over there and grab that officer,' " Orton recalled. "He came over on horseback. He saw what I did. It was steadily getting worse."
When popping noises and flashing sparks came from the car, Rhatigan quickly led police in, moving pedestrians to safety and clearing traffic so that the fire department and bomb squad could neutralize the bomb before it exploded.
"Whoever did this luckily did an amateur job," Orton observed.
Brushing off interviews
Another vendor named Duane Jackson also noticed the smoking vehicle and alerted police. Jackson ended up doing numerous interviews and having dinner with Mayor Michael Bloomberg and Officer Rhatigan at a Times Square restaurant, but Orton brushed off pleas for interviews and passed on dinner with the mayor.
He did agree to talk to TODAY, telling Lauer just before going on the air, "I could have been here playing a harp this morning." Asked later how he felt, he said, "Glad to be here."
Person of interest
Police have released a surveillance video showing a man who may be in his mid-40s taking a shirt off a short distance from the SUV, which was parked at West 45th Street and Broadway. He has a red shirt on underneath. The man glances in the direction of the SUV and walks off. Police have named the unidentified man as a person of interest.
Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano, in an earlier appearance on TODAY, said the man is not an official suspect. Although New York police have said the bomb was not the work of the Taliban or other foreign terrorists, Napolitano said nothing has been ruled out.
"Right now, every lead has to be pursued. I would caution against premature decisions one way or another," Napolitano said. "The investigation now needs to take its course."
"We've got to be very careful," Bloomberg said. "There's hundreds of tapes and there's millions of people who come through Times Square."
Of the man in the surveillance video, the mayor spoke cautiously. "Maybe he had something to do with it and maybe not."

Teens tied to slaying were 'bored'
New London - A clearer and more disturbing picture emerged Wednesday of the details surrounding the murder of Matthew Chew, who was beaten and then killed by a group of teenagers "for no reason" and "because they were bored," according to the warrant for the teens' arrests.
Judge Kevin McMahon read from the sealed arrest warrant as he presided over the arraignment of six teens charged in the case.
McMahon also lashed out at police for creating a "sideshow" when they said in a statement Tuesday that Chew was arranging to buy drugs via cell phone at the time of the attack - a detail he said had nothing to do with Chew's death.
All six teens appeared in New London Superior Court Wednesday. None entered pleas and all of their cases were transferred to New London Superior Court Part A on Huntington Street, where more serious cases are heard. Their hearing dates are to be determined today.
Idris Elahi and Marquis Singleton, both 17, are each charged with murder. McMahon kept Elahi's bond at $1.5 million and Singleton's at $1.25 million.
Matias Perry, Rashad Perry (who are not brothers) and Tyree Bundy, all 17, and Brian Rabell, 18, are each charged with accessory to murder. McMahon kept their bond at $500,000 each.
Chew was walking home on Huntington Street at about 11:30 p.m. Oct. 29 from his job at 2Wives Brick Oven Pizza when he was attacked.
Details from warrant
The judge made reference to facts from the sealed arrest warrants, which allege that all six defendants participated in a "beat-down" of Chew. Elahi and Singleton allegedly each wielded knives and stabbed Chew, who sustained six stab wounds and two cuts to the face, according to McMahon.
McMahon said Chew was attacked so quickly and brutally that he was unable to process what had happened to him.
"'What?' and 'Why?' That's all the victim was able to get out that night as he was brutally attacked by these teens," McMahon said, citing a detail of the attack that one of the teens gave police in an interview, according to the arrest warrant.
Police initially described the murder as drug-related and said the public was not at risk, but they backed off from that assertion with the arrests Tuesday. The police statement Tuesday said Chew did not know his attackers and added that he was using his cell phone to arrange to buy drugs when he was attacked.
Public defender Sean Kelly tried, briefly, to raise that issue during Elahi's arraignment. McMahon cut Kelly off and said that, while he understood Kelly's attempt to use the information, the 10-page warrant made no connection between Chew's actions and the attack.
"I'm not happy with the police department's conduct (Tuesday)," said McMahon, who emphasized that Chew's activities that night had "nothing to do with his death."
"He was just walking down the street," McMahon said.
"This is about six defendants and one deceased, nothing more and nothing less," he said. "The sideshow that's going on is an injustice to Mr. Chew, who's no longer with us."
The warrants appear to include information from at least six witnesses and two security cameras. McMahon at one point referred to a comment by "confidential witness number six" and said the cameras captured all six teens before and after the attack. It was unclear exactly where the cameras are located; McMahon said one camera was at Bank of America.
McMahon said the other four defendants and witnesses all pointed to Elahi as most responsible for what happened.
"They blame him for the predicament they're in," McMahon said during a discussion of Elahi's bail, prompting a stirring from the room and a "That's crazy" from a woman.
"There's a lot of statements, and they all say the same thing: He's the main player," McMahon said, addressing Elahi and his attorney.
Edgy atmosphere
The scene was tense at the courthouse, where extra court officers and Connecticut State Police troopers were on duty.
"I don't want you to force me to do something I don't want to do," McMahon told those in the courtroom early in the day. "There'd better not be any trouble."
The packed courtroom was filled with dozens of teens present to support the six accused. Though they were generally quiet throughout the hours of proceedings, the group became rowdier when the final accused teen, Brian Rabell, was in the courtroom.
As the handcuffed Rabell was ushered out of the courtroom, teens shouted, "We love you, Brian!" and chanted for his release. Court officers quickly ushered them outside. Troopers ordered the angry crowd off court property as teens grew rowdy outside, shouting at law enforcement officials and members of the media.
Throughout most of the day, however, the mood was somber. Supporters hugged each other and wiped away tears while waiting in the courthouse lobby. Others cried openly during the arraignments.
Most of the accused appeared before McMahon with their parents, aunts or uncles at their sides.
At the courthouse Wednesday, Elahi's mother declined comment. Other family members and friends of the six teens did the same.

Latest Trends in Digital Marketing
The progress of all things Digital is clearly inevitable and it directly affects Digital Marketing Companies worldwide. Consequently, the way we communicate, cooperate and make decisions is also influenced by the progress of digital technology. Trends are coming that will change the world around us as the technology keeps improving.
Charles Darwin said: "It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent that survives. It is the one that is the most adaptable to change" and change we have and change we will. The Digital world now has the likes of Internet of Things, Virtual Reality, Big Data and more that have influenced more than they were initially expected to. Millennials prefer working flexible hours and find life-work balance somewhat more important than compensation. The freelancing economy has experienced epic growth, people are ditching nine-to-five jobs and set their own working hours, all this and more. Not only that people who decide to work flexible find themselves in a more desired situation, but it's the companies who can employ more promising individuals. Also, it's the ability to hire employees in any time zone is what counts in today's digital surroundings.
Overall, with companies finding better, more interesting ways to target their audience, the world of marketing is slowly but steadily evolving into a more interactive playground for both agency and audience member.
The different aspect of marketing has taken over the use of internet in various ways. To be precise, Digital Marketing is the key word that is termed for using the internet in the business sector. Using digital marketing as a field of improving your business is something that is wide. In fact, there are very fewer entrepreneurs who are yet to attain the boons of the internet in their sectors. Hence, to ensure that digital marketing takes a toll on the business genre, Digifox Media has taken an initiative to help their clients in receiving the bane of technology.
Knowing the Different Categorizations of Digital Marketing Strategy

Season of Disbelief
**Giants pitchers have driven in a run in four straight postseason games, including last night's World Series opener.
**They hit the fewest home runs of any postseason team but hit three last night, all from a player who never ever hit three in one game, Pablo.
**They pounded Verlander for five runs in four innings last night. In his last seven starts, including the season and postseason, he gave up a total of five runs.
**Zito wasn't even on their 2010 postseason roster but has won his last two starts this postseason.
Are the Giants hot or what?

WINNIPEG, Manitoba, May 8 (UPI) -- Authorities in Winnipeg, Manitoba, said a 5-foot python was rescued from a dumpster after a pedestrian heard the animal moving around in the trash.
Police said the pedestrian heard noise coming from the dumpster Tuesday night and looked inside to find the large snake slithering around, the Canadian Broadcasting Corp. reported Wednesday.
The pedestrian called police and officers brought in the animal services department to capture the snake.
Police said they do not know how the python ended up in the dumpster.

Buildings and architecture are a part of every visit to a city. The charm of a city is in a way defined by the beautiful buildings it has. If New York is remembered by its towering buildings, Chicago is all the more beautiful in its stately but tall buildings. Victorian architecture is well recognized in many countries where the British ruled. Europe is renowned for its distinctive Greek/Roman and several other forms of architecture which make its towns and cities such a visual treat indeed.
The Middle-eastern countries have their own flavor of Muslim architecture which sets it apart from the rest of the world. Muscat, in the Sultanate of Oman showed me examples of some lovely architecture in its fine mosques, homes, forts and office buildings.
I am no expert on this topic, but the simplicity in fine lines, arches and curves defined elegance for me in all its buildings. Fortunately, His Majesty, Sultan Qaboos, the ruler of Oman, apparently was not in favor of the high rises that abound the neighboring prosperous UAE. With a few high-rises only in the city, one never feels cramped as compared to being in modern day glass and cement cities. The shorter buildings here are not just square brick structures, but a medley of arches, and graceful straight lines at the right places. What also helps is the fact that surroundings are sparkling clean adding to the aura of the buildings.
The Grand Mosque in Muscat that was built after a competition for its design is one of the most popular destinations for worshippers and tourists alike. However, my favorite mosque in Muscat, was the one I saw frequently by the main road. A gleaming off-white color, the Zawawi mosque in Al-Khuwair with its gardens around was a treat to see in the day and delightfully illuminated by night. Some pictures are below.
A quick walk in the neighborhood left me spellbound as I saw the homes around me, each more beautiful than the other.
Another notable point was the uniformity in coloring of the buildings. As compared to the peeling reds , greens, blues and yellows found rampantly in the buildings in most Indian cities, most of the colors used were pale –with shades of white or sand being the most common. Perhaps it is the hot climate of the city which is the deciding factor. I wish such uniformity were present in Indian cities too. There was no graffiti in the city and walls were spotless clean. A few rules (that were obeyed) such as not drying clothes where they would be visible to outsiders was a balm to eyes used to seeing garments of all forms in India!
If you get a chance to visit Muscat, and love seeing buildings, do try and visit some of the famous landmarks such as the Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque, the old area of Corniche, old forts – the Sohar fort is my favorite and one of Muscat's neighborhoods (preferably near the sea, that is where I went!). I am sure you will delight in the various forms of buildings you see.

Family overcoming tragedy brings comfort to young ones
A Bellevue family overcoming tragedy brought smiles to the faces of young patients at Nebraska Medical Center's Pediatric ICU earlier Friday.
Jennifer Brock lost her son, 2-year-old Aidan Curry, in a car accident back in December 2011, and was overwhelmed by the support and comfort she and her family received. Brock started nonprofit, "Aidan's Animals," shortly after the tragedy to help bring that comfort to kids in crisis through toys, books, and blankets.
"The toys are so nice because not only can they provide downtime (in a hospital), but they can create opportunities for therapy," said Brock.
"For us, it means everything because these kids live her. For their life, they live here," said Judy Thomas, Pediatric Services Manager at Nebraska Medical Center.
Aidan's Animals was able to provide the young patients, and their siblings, with over 200 items earlier Friday. The nonprofit has also been able to make contributions to other causes as well, including those affected by the tragedy in Newtown, Conn.
For more information on Aidan's Animals, you can visit http://www.supportaidansanimals.org.

The 9 Most Scathing Critical Responses to James Cameron's Sanctum
Our own Stephanie Zacharek warned you away from the waterlogged cave-bound 3D cheese that is James Cameron's (executive-produced Avatar technology-wasting favor-to-a-friend) Sanctum, and she's not alone: many more esteemed critics made it through the Aussie survival adventure with their spirits, eyeballs, and attention spans barely intact. Some saw Sanctum's terrible B-movie dialogue as amusing unintentional camp; will you be so lucky? Rappel down to the depths of Sanctum's most scathing critiques and survey the rocky terrain ahead.
9. "The writing really is bad in this film, and even talented actors such as Ioan Gruffudd (a Welshman, faking a generic American dialect) and his fellow adventurer played by Alice Parkinson (Australian, faking the same) come off as rank amateurs. Everyone screams and panics and spews cliches, constantly, whether the context is hubris ("This cave's not gonna beat me!") or portents of doom ("This cave'll kill you in a heartbeat") or expositional duhs ("The cave is flooding!") or, after the latest round of hypothermia or petty infighting, some hard-won advice to Those Who Will Go On To Tell The Story ("Trust the cave, and follow the river"). -- Michael Phillips, Chicago Tribune
8. "Wait until the people who thought Avatar had a weak story get a load of this. Cardboard characters, laughable dialogue and performances that wouldn't pass muster on syndicated television collide with a rudimentary plot and less-than-suspenseful action sequences for a film that's almost ridiculous enough to find a cult following as a great bad movie." -- Geoff Berkshire, Metro Mix
7. "Sanctum should be studied in film classes as an example of inadequate film continuity... The movie is a case study in how not to use 3-D. ... I wonder if people will go to Sanctum thinking the James Cameron name is a guarantee of high-quality 3-D. Here is a movie that can only harm the reputations of Cameron and 3-D itself." -- Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
6. "It's The Descent, only supplanting flesh-eating monsters with rising water levels. If that doesn't sound quite as exciting, it's because it isn't." -- Matt Risley, Sky Movies
5. "...it becomes the stage for what cringingly plays out like a community theater production of The Poseidon Adventure. Only someone who hasn't witnessed The Abyss would dare call Alister Grierson's film visionary." -- Ed Gonzales, Slant Magazine
4. "Whatever his faults as a filmmaker may be, Cameron would never make an adventure flick that felt this bland and generic. When it isn't killing off its characters one-by-one during a cave-diving expedition gone wrong, Sanctum resembles a Hemingway short story without the story part. Or an episode of Flipper without the dolphin." -- Andrew O'Hehir, Salon
3. "It's full of one-dimensional characters doing improbably brave things in a 3-D world, delivering lines like: 'Panic's the vulture that sits on your shoulder' and 'Life's not a rehearsal, Josh. You've got to seize the day.' Avatar suddenly sounds like Shakespeare." -- Steve Persall, St. Petersburg Times
2. "'I am not wearing the wet suit of a dead person!' thunders a character in the 3D underwater adventure Sanctum, and all you can think as an audience member is a) well, at least that's a line I've never heard before, b) said character is doomed, and c) Wet Suits of the Dead would be a good name for a band. As the movie drags on, and more characters are revealed to be doomed, Sanctum emerges as one big advertisement for staying home -- away from underwater caves, and away from the multiplexes." -- Moira MacDonald, Seattle Times
1. "Cameron is not the big fish in charge, just bait for the mass audience. As he Tweeted from a junket last week: 'Right now it's a #Sanctum promotion (I'm such a ho).'" -- Richard Corliss, Time Magazine

This post is slightly delayed, since I was out of the house when the Aviva Indoor Athletics was on in Glasgow on Saturday.
– – – – – –
It was the final hurrah for Glasgow's Kelvin Hall, which would be making way for the new stadium being built for the Commonwealth Games. It was also one of the first athletics meetings of the season, with Great Britain taking on Russia, Germany, the USA and a Commonwealth elect to win the indoor trophy.
Andy Turner's hurdles did not get the GB team off with the start they would have hoped for, and he is suffering with an Achilles injury. He hit a number of the hurdles, and limped off the track at the end of the race after finishing last.
Fortunately, that moment was one of very few low points for British team, who secured the overall team award, as well as coming away with a huge number of wins.
Jeannette Kwakye ran an incredible 60m, beating the rest of the field by two fractions of a second, and Mark Lewis-Francis edged out the ever popular Kim Collins to win his own 60m race.
There were some surprises on the day too.
Danny Talbot also left Kim Collins tailing in second to win the 200m and Margaret Adeoye set a personal best to win her own 200m race. Joe Thomas won the 800m, and it is hoped that he can now turn his successful indoor form to better times outside.
Hannah England and Helen Clitheroe finished second in the 1,500m and 3,000m respectively.
The highlight of the meet was Mo Farah's 1,500m. He fought a close battle with Kenya's Agustine Choge, overtaking him on the last lap to secure a personal best and stadium record.
– – – – – –
Overall, the British team showed a lot of promise. The surprise victories from some of Britain's lesser-known athletes proved that the talent in the British team runs deep.
It also appears that the training in Kenya is proving incredibly useful for Farah, England and Clitheroe, all of whom are benefiting from running at high altitude. It is hoped that Paula Radcliffe, who is also training at the 'Home of Champions', will be fighting fit ready for London.
It is early days, but success in January gives the athletes a great push going forward into the rest of the season. A number of them will be competing for the Indoor World Championships at Istanbul on the 12-14th March, and will be hoping to turn their success in Glasgow to world success.

As per our Shipping and Returns Policy, custom cuts and fabricated parts are non-returnable. If you need an over- or undersized item, note it under "Comments" during Checkout. Cut-to-size orders have an acceptable cut tolerance of 1/8" (0.125"), so clarify if the adjustment is to be made on the (+) or (-) side of the saw blade. Please review our full return and shipping policy here.
Since custom cuts and fabricated parts are non-refundable, be very careful while measuring your dimensions. As each cut is nominal, even the slightest miscalculation could be costly.
Extend your tape measure several inches to find the 1 and 2 inch markers. In between the inch markers you'll find 16 equally spaced tick marks.
Measure by counting the increments beyond the nearest inch. As the increments decrease, so does the length of the mark. For example, 1/2" has a bigger mark than 1/4" which has a bigger mark than 1/8". The smallest mark follows at 1/16". Please be aware that some measuring tapes may have even smaller increments.
The sliding end hook is designed for two different types of measurements. An outside measurement (where the hook of the tape hangs over an edge), requires the hook to slide out a bit to account for the thickness of the material. When making an inside measurement (where the hook will push up against a surface), the clip slides in, again, accounting for its thickness. The measuring tape self-adjusts to guarantee an accurate measurement (as far as the tape is concerned).

A plethora of advancements in medical treatments and innovations are thanks to startups, which often do not face the same constraints as larger corporations. Despite their success, one of the most significant issues smaller biopharmaceutical companies face is a lack of funding which delays research and innovation. One of the easiest ways to overcome this common hurdle is to attract the attention of investors, and the following provides a glimpse into the characteristics they are searching for when determining which companies show the most promise.
Cutting Edge Research
An investor is looking for a company that promises to produce cutting-edge treatment methods that are considered unorthodox and push the limits of modern medicine. An organization should have research documents that clearly explain how their approach to treating illnesses is different and designed to produce the most favorable outcomes. It will allow them to remain competitive and proves that they are dedicated to reaching new levels of success.
Fiscal Responsibility
Investing money in a company is unsettling if the organization has a reputation for being irresponsible with cash. An organization should have a minimal amount of debt and several revenue streams to show that they are focused on creating profits for those who invest early on. Be sure to have a variety of certified financial statements on hand during any investment conversations.
Experienced Leadership
One of the most critical aspects in solidifying a company's long-term success is a leadership team that is focused on the future. Most investors will want a breakdown of the experience and background of all upper-level managers. Providing those interested in making a financial contribution with the resumes of those who are at the helm will help an investor determine if they have the driving force in place to secure a position as a leader in their industry.
It is hard for small startups to obtain the financing they need to remain sustainable in the early stages of development. Jim Plante is a leading entrepreneur and biopharmaceutical investor and has worked with hundreds of companies all over the world. Check out his site to learn more and see how he has become a leader in this competitive industry.

almost correct
startup mount;
alter database datafile 'D:\DB\ORADATA\BODEV\NMSANDBOX_DATA.ORA' offline drop;
alter database open;
if the database still wants to recover more files you need to drop them also, if it wants to recover system it's time to learn irish say
faster and faster with an bit of an irish lilt. back to the problem at hand.
drop tablespace tablespace_of_the_above_datafile; then reload your data because you were in noarchivelog mode so you must be able to reload your data.
then take this opportunity to crank up your buffer cache to as big as possible -- this is a joke, no flames please.
It is asking for an archive file because the dummy file that you created is not an Oracle database file. So it is trying to bring it up to date. Even though you are not running in archivelog mode, Oracle still acts the same way - that is, it is keeping track of what would be the correct archivelog file even though it did not write them out to disk.
You have one option:
Startup mount;
Alter datafile 'D:\DB\ORADATA\BODEV\NMSANDBOX_DATA.ORA' offline. Alter database open.
You will be able to export all of the data in the database except what was stored in this data file. This will allow you to import it into another database.
So all of your data is not gone - just the stuff in this file/tablespace. Everything else has been lost.
Good Luck!

Mount Mitake (Mitakesan) is one of the many highlights of the Chichibu-Tama-Kai National Park, which covers more than 1250 square kilometers of forested mountains, hills, gorges and some rural towns in the prefectures of Yamanashi, Saitama, Nagano and Tokyo.
Besides a popular shrine, Mount Mitake offers various walking and hiking opportunities in virtually unspoiled nature. Located in the Okutama region, the westernmost part of Tokyo, the mountain can be reached in less than two hours from central Tokyo, and is accordingly popular among people looking for a break from the city.
From the upper station of the Mitake Cablecar it is a 20-30 minute walk to the Musashi-Mitake Shrine on the mountain's summit (929 meters). On your way, you will pass a small village with manyJapanese style inns and souvenir shops, which have been catering to visitors and pilgrims to Mount Mitake for centuries. It is believed that Musashi-Mitake Shrine has been serving as a center of mountain worship for almost 2000 years.

Tama area is the name of the western part of Tokyo Metropolis. It consists of 26 cities, 3 towns and a village. A lot of people (about 4 milion) live in a eastern half part of the area. However, there are many mountains in the western part of Tama area, and there are very little flat land. Many hiking spots are in the western area, so you can enjoy walking on the trail, camping, and so on. If you see the beautiful mountain scene, you may not believe this is also in Tokyo.

Photographer's Note
Not the best sky or time of the day, but this is one of the scenes I really enjoyed in Lompoul - lines of colourful boats and children around.
Around lunch time, many of these boats had already returned from the sea.
Very close to the desert, Lompoul has also a fishing village that is usually full of life, as fishing is one of the main activities in the area. The sea is a little dangerous here and not the best place for a bath, but the place is usually very interesting, specially the moment the boats arrive with the fish.

Allô Ana!
Merci de nous montrer des photos d'ailleurs et celle-ci est merveilleuse avec cette ligne de bateaux, bien colorés, qui attendent de prendre la mer. Le garçon bien placé dans la composition est un ajout è la beauté de la photo. Excellente présentation accompagnée d'une intéressante note.
Toutes mes amitiés et bon dimanche,

Hi Ana,
He looks very pleased with himself there, he really is king of the castle, or captain of the ship as more appropriate! I love that you took this from an angle where all of the prows are jutting out, one in front of the other. Full of color, and a perfect splash of life too. I am still intrigued by those markings on the boats.
All the best
krzychu30 (15512) 2013-11-02 10:15
Hello Ana,
from this perspective and with this boy sitting on the boat it looks almost like preparation for some kind of race:)
Certainly very picturesque scene(the boats with its colorful painting scheme look marvelous)
The sky is maybe not the best,but still giving a good contrast to the surrounding and rest of the scene.
Have a nice weekend
macjake (94427) 2013-11-02 14:42
Hi Ana
I've seen similar photo's from this beach, they are all beautiful and charming in their own ways.
even without the 'attractive' skyline or light, there is so much to keep us interested.
I've heard of stories of the local boys/men here will appraoch tourists and give a 'sad' story, requesting money...did you experience that?
love the rustic boats, and the depth. cool scene, one that I wish I'd seen personally.
lousat (123997) 2013-11-02 16:07
Hi Ana,great memory to me,really it seems to be on the Gambia beaches,same boats,same colors and same perspectives,magnificent capture whit bright colors and details,i like it!Have a nice Sunday and thanks,Luciano

Excellent viewpoint, superb composition in very good light. You have placed the sitting boy very well in the FG.
The well-chosen tight crop eliminates all unwanted distractions. Well done.
PaulVDV (49294) 2013-11-03 3:28
Hello Ana,
Excellent low POV to get a more impressive view of the bows of these boats.
The boy occupies a place to control the whole beach.
The paint is peeled of most boats but it's obvious that the fishermen love colourful vessels.
Best regards, Paul
ChrisJ (155567) 2013-11-03 9:59

I like the low shooting angle and upward pov. Good repetition of the colorful fishing boats with excellent sharpness and saturation. The people add scale and context. Good graphism and shadow detail. Have a nice Sunday!

abmdsudi (84231) 2013-11-04 8:33
Hi Ana
Looks like they are set to race to the open sea but it's time to rest. Lovely that you managed to get a shot of the weather beaten fishing boats which are such a large part of the ambience, one that is difficult to ignore as these boats are so photogenic despite the state of some of them. The predominant colors add up to express a sense of mood and mission but I wonder what stories those small eyes have seen. Love the angle of this comp, it works really well and takes the eyes to the beach end, combination of pleasing exposure and colours are wonderful. The boy is there to complement this shot beautifully as a strong pointer. Superb foto work, Congrats
Best regards

Hi Ana,
Those colourful and worn out boat are very photogenic. Hazy air give a good idea of hot day and windy air saturted with salty mist. This guy has chosen a nice place to relax!
ikeharel (101053) 2013-11-06 19:48
The young man sit on the fishing boat draw the first view on this photo, Ana.
Yet, the boats "parked" on shore in juxtaposition, vivid and colorfully adorned, are the main asset to this composition.
Fine photojob done, inspite the mist, there is good clear view and the men walk down the beach gave good scale on.
Intriguing and interesting side of our small world.
Bom dia,
delpeoples (60326) 2013-11-11 2:21
Ola dear Ana
Ooh this is exquisite. I love the row of colourful, characteristic old boats and the way the little boy is perched on them, looking out to sea. The hint of the sea at the right of the frame gives us the perfect context as we try to imagine the view this little boy has as he looks towards the horizon.
Thanks for sharing, have a lovely day
siudzi (34141) 2013-11-12 11:00
Hi Ana,
You have observed a great scene and I have no doubt why you decided to take this image. The line created by the colorful boats looks superb originally but your hero looking at the other folks is absolutely perfectly captured. Excellent work! Well done.
mcmtanyel (57729) 2013-11-12 19:39
Hello Ana,
The line of colorful rustic boats draws one to this photo. I like the haziness in the photo, it is suggestive of mystery.

Olá, amiga Ana,
me gusta la perspectiva aplastada de las barcas tradicionales en la playa, debido al zoom, eso crea un buen grafismo para una composición muy bien estructurada.
Sus vivos colores dan un bonito contraste con el cielo un poco brumoso, y el muchacho sentado en la primera barca aporta una gran vitalidad al conjunto.
Trabajo espléndido.
