Review: SuperTooth Buddy Bluetooth Car Kit

Looking for an affordable Bluetooth Car Kit that can double as your desk speakerphone? The SuperTooth Buddy sells for $50 and it offers clear audio, large buttons that are easy to use in the car and a good looking design. It's relatively small and plays nicely with the iPhone 4 and the latest Android smartphones.

It comes with a car charger (oddly that's not so common), and it can also charge over USB.

Just One Pack Doll Quilt

Just One Pack Doll Quilt 16in. X 16in.

• 5 inch Charm pack Moda Alliance
• 1 fat quarter Alliance for backing
• scrap batting or flannel X
• 1 pack of 2 inch English Paper Piece Hexagons
• Sewline Glue pen
• tiger tape
• coordinating thread
• basic sewing supplies

• Chose 25 charms from your Alliance pack

• I used the 2 inch pre-made English paper pieces from PaperPieces.com. They are available at your local quilt shop, online or you can cut your own.

• Next I cut 20 charm fabrics about 1/4 inch around the hexagon paper.
• I use Sewline’s glue pen to adhere my fabric while they wait to be pieced together. This is a HUGE time saver.

• This may be difficult to see but I put the glue on the fabric. It is a wash away adhesive.

• Firmly press your fabric to the papers as you go around the hexagons.

• Now the arrangement I did for this quilt also uses half hexagons. Instead of buying another pack of papers for this I cut a regular 2 inch hex in half as shown.

• I was very careful to make sure it was as close to half as possible. You will need 5 half hexagons.

• Again, cut your fabrics 1/4 from the paper edge and glue in place firmly.

• The corners will be trimmed once the quilting is done.

• I layed out my pieces into a pleasing arrangement and then took 2 at a time to sew.

• With Right sides together I whip stitch the edges. I continue to add hexs until you have a top as shown.
• Note the papers are removed before layering. The fabric can be peeled from the paper easily without much distortion. The unsewn edges are basted with a larger stitch to be removed after hand quilting.

• Layer the batting and backing…..

• I hand quilted my doll quilt using 1/4 inch tiger tape as my guide. I am not an expert hand quilter and I tend to do a big stitch. For a doll quilt…this was the effect I wanted.

• Once the hand quilting is complete, I do not bind my quilt in the traditional way.

• Notice that I am folding back the quilt edge to the hand quilting line…

• Trim away the batting to less than an 1/8 of an inch, to reduce bulk.

• Here’s how the edges should look.

•Trim the backing to about 1/4 inch from the quilt top edge as shown.

• Fold the edge in the create a finished edge. Then fold the quilt top up to meet the backing and pin.

• hand whip stitch with a neutral thread and tiny stitches all the way around the quilt edge to finish.

A 16in. X 16in. One Pack Doll Quilt…

  1. Cheryl says:

    what a sweet dollie quilt. i love your choice of charm pack. I have seen these little hexagons and have always been a little intimidated to make something with them. I have never paper pieced before.

  2. Laura says:

    Very Cute. This would totally be a stretch for me as I've never tried paper piecing, honestly it scares me a little 🙂

  3. Jackie says:

    Cute doll quilt! Love the fact that it is only one pack too!

  4. Shasta says:

    I have wanted to try Hex's, but haven't dared. You give such detailed instructions that I might just give it a shot!
    Thanks Vickie E!!!

  5. Kathi D says:

    Wow, I never thought of gluing the fabric to the paper pieces! I'm going to have to try that with my tumbling blocks papers.

  6. Kari says:

    Oh you clever girl! I love the Sewline glue idea! My least fav part of EPP is the basting. You just solved that little trouble for me!
    The doll quilt is cute too– and the Tiger Tape- Now where do I find that? Certainly it is not just in Ohio– hopefully Utah has it somewhere-I shall be on the hunt!
    Good Job Vicki!

  7. I love paper piecing, so relaxing. I hope your tutorial inspires others to give it a go.

  8. lisa says:

    I jumped right in feet first, but I should have asked, my LQS and Ben Franklin (who carries Moda) don't have that line in charm packs! I had an old charm pack and started doing it…I was hoping I can still join the challenge even though it's not the right line?

    So far this is a lot more fun, and easier than I thought it would be…I am basting down the hexagones! I am actually thinking I might make a bigger quilt over time with these….maybe more flowerlike?

  9. bearpaw says:

    Somebody just gave me one of the Moda charm packs, but I am not sure whether they need pre-washing or not. Could anyone give me advice please?

  1. How do I delete my account

    Please delete my account ASAP
  2. So I hooked up my SMT5600 to my brand new version of PocketMac yesterday and let the phone completely charge (it was almost dead and it took almost 10 hours for the dumb thing to charge, odd since windows PCs only need a couple hours IIRC). Then I disconnected the phone and let it sit overnight w/o using it. I grabbed it in the morning and noticed I was down to 1 bar of battery life left!!! So I'm wondering what is going on... I know the phone said 100% and the green LED was on when I disconnected the phone. Is PocketMac not fully charging the phone, or is the USB voltage on my G3 iBook somehow different? Or worse yet, has PocketMac messed up my phone or battery so now they have a shortened life? Thanks in advance, -Chris

is it Friday?

Once school is out and I am officially on summer break I feel like I never know what day of the week it is. Maybe I should start teaching calendar at home to Grayson and the dogs. That would help with that problem.

You may remember that G has had 2 ear infections in the last month. We just finished his 2nd antibiotic on Wednesday. Well, he woke up last night around midnight with a fever of 101.7. Oy. Ben gave him tylenol and and he fell back asleep. Then he woke up around 3am. Burning up and pitiful. He woke up at 7 with no fever...but it returned after his morning nap. Over 102. SO, we made our weekly visit to Dr. Leeper's office. I love him so I really don't mind hanging out at his office, however, I'm kind of getting sick of the stupid co-pays. G doesn't have an ear infection {hooray!!} but instead he has Coxsackievirus {wtf?!}. We are now dealing with a virus that hangs out in my child's throat and causes it to hurt, have small ulcers, and get high fevers. sweet.

I've realized that since having Grayson I have become a little bit {or a lot bit according to my hubs} anal about my house being clean. Having 3 shedding canines doesn't help the situation. I feel like I sweep and vacuum pretty much every day and I still see dog hair. It drives me crazy. It drives me SO crazy that we are seriously considering ripping out all of the carpet downstairs and replacing it with a hardwood laminate. I would love real plank hardwoods but we've been told that the dogs would tear them up just like they've torn up our cheapy hardwoods we already have. I just can't deal with the dog hair stuck in the carpet anymore.

...guess what I'm about to do while the sickly boy sleeps? vacuum. hmph.

Steak with Caramelized Mushrooms Balsamic Reduction

It is Steak night. Every since a week ago when I almost killed my daughter by giving her some mushrooms that I had cooked in brandy. Oops. Forgot, Brandy has gluten. Will I ever be able to remember what does and what doesn't? So I set off to make a similar dish, where she would not miss the brandy at all. This is a quick recipe that pleases the crowds.
Here is what you need:
2 tablespoons canola oil, divided
1 pound sliced mushrooms
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1/2 cup beef broth
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
1/2 teaspoon salt, divided
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1 pound(s) beef tenderloin (fillet Mignon) or sirloin steak, 1-1 1/4 inches thick, trimmed and cut into 4 steaks

For Balsamic Reduction:

  • 1 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 1 clove garlic, crushed

  • Pour balsamic vinegar into a small saucepan, and add the crushed garlic; bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer until the vinegar has reduced to 1/4 cup. Set aside, and cool to room temperature.

Heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium heat in a large skillet. Add mushrooms and brown sugar and cook, stirring often, until the mushrooms are very tender and golden brown, about 15 minutes. Add broth, vinegar, and 1/4 teaspoon salt and cook, stirring, until the liquid has almost evaporated, 3 to 4 minutes more.
Transfer the mushrooms to a bowl; cover to keep warm.
Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper on both sides of each steak. Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon oil in the pan over medium-high heat. Add the steaks and cook until browned, 3 to 5 minutes. Turn them over and cook 3 to 5 minutes for medium-rare. Add more time for Medium or Well-done. Serve the steaks with the caramelized mushrooms and drizzle with balsamic reduction on the plate.
If you like you can top the steaks with a little Gorgonzola. I served it over spinach with a crisp cucumber salad on the side.

Climate Breakdown

How governments bemoan the problem but keep stoking the fires.

By George Monbiot, published in the Guardian 28th September 2013

Already, a thousand blogs and columns insist that the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s new report is a rabid concoction of scare stories whose purpose is to destroy the global economy. But it is, in reality, highly conservative.

Reaching agreement among hundreds of authors and reviewers ensures that only the statements which are hardest to dispute are allowed to pass. Even when the scientists have agreed, the report must be tempered in another forge, as politicians question anything they find disagreeable: the new report received 1855 comments from 32 governments(1), and the arguments raged through the night before its launch(2).

In other words, it’s perhaps the biggest and most rigorous process of peer review conducted in any scientific field, at any point in human history.

There are no radical departures in this report from the previous assessment, published in 2007; just a great deal more evidence demonstrating the extent of global temperature rises, the melting of ice sheets and sea ice, the retreat of the glaciers, the rising and acidification of the oceans and the changes in weather patterns(3). The message is both familiar and shattering: “it’s as bad as we thought it was.”

What the report describes, in its dry, meticulous language, is the collapse of the benign climate in which humans have prospered, and the loss of the conditions upon which many other lifeforms depend. Climate change and global warming are inadequate terms for what it reveals. The story it tells is of climate breakdown. This is, or so it seems, a catastrophe we are capable of foreseeing but incapable of imagining. It’s a catastrophe we are singularly ill-equipped to prevent.

The IPCC’s reports attract denial in all its forms: from a quiet turning away – the response of most people – to shrill disavowal. Despite –  or perhaps because of – their rigours, the IPCC’s reports attract a magnificent collection of conspiracy theories: the panel is trying to tax us back to the stone age or establish a Nazi/Communist dictatorship in which we are herded into camps and forced to crochet our own bicycles. (And they call the scientists scaremongers …).

In the Mail, the Telegraph and the dusty basements of the internet, today’s report (or a draft leaked a few weeks ago) has been trawled for any uncertainties or refinements that could be used to discredit the process(4,5). The panel reports that on every continent except Antarctica, manmade warming is likely to have made a substantial contribution to the surface temperature(6). So those who feel threatened by the evidence ignore the other continents and concentrate on Antarctica, as proof that climate change caused by fossil fuels can’t be happening.

They make great play of the IPCC’s acknowledgement that there has been a “reduction in surface warming trend over the period 1998–2012”(7), but somehow ignore the fact that the past decade is still the warmest in the instrumental record. They manage to overlook the panel’s conclusion that this slowing of the trend is likely to have been caused by volcanic eruptions, fluctuations in solar radiation and natural variability in the planetary cycle. Were it not for manmade global warming, these factors could have made the world significantly cooler over this period(8). That there has been a slight increase in temperature despite them shows the extraordinary power of the human contribution.

But denial is only part of the problem. More significant is the behaviour of powerful people who claim to accept the evidence but keep stoking the fires. This week the former Irish president Mary Robinson added her voice to a call that some of us have been making for years: the only effective means of preventing climate breakdown is to leave fossil fuels in the ground(9,10). Press any minister on this matter in private and, in one way or another, they will concede the point. Yet no government will act on it.

As if to mark the publication of the new report, the department for business, innovation and skills has now plastered a giant poster across its groundfloor windows: “UK oil and gas: Energising Britain. £13.5bn is being invested in recovering UK oil and gas this year, more than any other industrial sector.” The message couldn’t have been clearer if it had said “up yours.”

This is an example of the way in which all governments collaborate in the disaster they publicly bemoan. They claim to accept the science and to support the intergovernmental panel. They sagely agree with the need to do something to avert the catastrophe it foresees, while promoting the industries that cause it.

It doesn’t matter how many windmills or solar panels or nuclear plants you build if you are not simultaneously retiring fossil fuel production. We need a global programme whose purpose is to leave most coal and oil and gas reserves in the ground, while developing new sources of power and reducing the amazing amount of energy we waste.

But, far from doing so, governments everywhere are still seeking to squeeze every drop out of their own reserves, while trying to secure access to other people’s. As more accessible reservoirs are emptied, energy companies exploit the remotest parts of the planet, bribing and bullying governments to allow them to break open unexploited places: from the deep ocean to the melting Arctic. And the governments who let them do it weep sticky black tears over the state of the planet.

M FILM – Hodge podge ascending

Jupiter Ascending is a blockbuster of silliness

Although Lana and Andy Wachowski got noticed for their 1996 “lesbian noir” thriller Bound, it was The Matrix, with its visionary blend of trippy visuals, cutting-edge special effects, and mind-bending sci-fi plot, that propelled them into the upper orbit of name-brand writer-directors.

That was 16 years ago, and they have been scrambling unsuccessfully to match that achievement ever since. Although 2012’s Cloud Atlas had vast ambitions, its puzzle-within-a-puzzle era-hopping storylines became intellectually turgid. And now they have backtracked notably with the blockbuster silliness of Jupiter Ascending, a candy-coloured sci-fi extravaganza that starts on Earth before launching itself on an inter-galactic mission that’s an eye-popping pastiche of everything from Star Wars to Soylent Green.

Mila Kunis (Black Swan) stars as the improbably named Jupiter Jones, a Russian émigrée who scrubs toilets in Chicago. As it turns out, the unaware Jupiter is the “genetic reincarnation” of one of the leaders of the Abrasax clan, one of the most powerful and ruthless families in the entire universe. As such, she is heir to a staggeringly vast fortune – including the planet Earth, whose entire population is a crop due to be “harvested.”

Jupiter’s genetic original had three children, and they all have nefarious designs on Jupiter. Luckily, this resourceful gal has a protector in the form of Caine Wise (Channing Tatum), a “hunter” who was originally hired by one of the Abrasax siblings to find the missing heir but who now has fallen for Jupiter and become her hunky guardian.

Ascending is a sometimes-effective hodge-podge of hyper-kinetic chase scenes, creepy critters appropriate for an ambitious space opera, and visually lush set design (riffing on everything from Art Deco-informed Egyptian statuary to the paintings of Maxfield Parrish). But even stunning images of space ships breaching like whales as they emerge from beneath thick clouds of space dust can’t compensate for all the genre clichés, plotting contrivances, and hammy acting (particularly Eddie Redmayne, so great as Stephen Hawking, who may have just put his Oscar chances in peril). Kunis is cute as anything, and some of the spectacle works well on its own terms. But after two hours of synapse-jolting/hell’s-a-poppin’ brain pummeling you’ll probably yearn for something slow-paced and thoughtful on PBS.

Jupiter Ascending **

Stars Mila Kunis, Channing Tatum

Written and Directed by

Lana and Andy Wachowski

Kingsman: The Secret Service

This droll actioner stars Colin Firth as a member of a super-secret spy group that recruits an unpolished but promising street kid into its ranks – just in time to do battle with a global tech threat. With Samuel L. Jackson, Mark Strong, and Michael Caine.

Disney offers a particularly lush version of the classic fairy tale. Directed by Kenneth Branagh and starring Cate Blanchett, Helena Bonham Carter, and Lily James.

A skilled conman begins grooming a young and attractive woman as his partner, but romance complicates things rather dangerously. With Will Smith and Margot Robbie (Wolf of Wall Street).

The Gunman

The great Sean Penn stars in a gritty thriller about an international spy who struggles to clear his name before his employers bump him off. The superb cast includes Javier Bardem, Ray Winstone, and Idris Elba.

The Vatican Tapes

Expect loads of familiar religio-horror tropes in this shocker about a Vatican exorcism that, well, goes to hell. The stars include Djimon Hounsou, Dougray Scott, and Michael Peña.

Sunday Cache and Fall is in the Air

Weekly Thoughts:

Yes, Fall is definitely in the air, the mornings are darker and the days are getting cooler.  While some may get sad, I love fall.  The crispness in the air, the spookiness of the nights, the crinkling of the dried out leaves falling from the trees, and of course the beauty of the colors in a forest.  It’s kind of like each tree is a fireworks display of awesome colors!

While not all understand how incredible Fall is in the area, those of us that do get it, love it.

It’s a busy weekend so I’ll keep this article short, but here are some other articles to check out this past week by some incredible PF Bloggers:

Carnivals I was in (just one this week)

Weekly Conclusion:

With Fall in the air, it’s an exciting time for my family!  Life is good, don’t dwell on the negatives, because everything changes eventually, just like with the seasons!  So now that something new is in the air, I feel energized and excited to check out all the great new pf bloggers that I’ve noticed lately!  You’ll see more of them in future weekly review posts!

Best regards,

17 Responses to Sunday Cache and Fall is in the Air

    • Shoot! I meant to include your post on Ben Bernanke’s speech! Sorry, you should be up there too!

      I’ll include that article in next sunday’s post! Nice job on that by the way

    • Somehow fall invigorates me and gets me moving! Perhaps it’s the final rush to enjoy what little good weather is left in my area. And obviously, I like the fall characterists all around.

  1. Speaking of change and transition..

    Reminded me of quote I really liked.

    “Action and reaction, ebb and flow, trial and error, change – this is the rhythm of living. Out of our over-confidence, fear; out of our fear, clearer vision, fresh hope. And out of hope, progress.”

    Bruce Barton

    Really glad fall is finally here. At least it not so darn hot anymore here in Los Angeles!

    • The summer was great out here, loved it and will miss it. Fall is great too, but still sad to see Summer slip out of the picture.

      Winter is great if I’m in shape, but I’m not so I’m not looking forwards to it.

    • Yeah, hayfever time huh. I took five years of allergy shots, so it doesn’t affect me quite as badly as it use to.

      You had a great week, I could have an entire link section of just your week articles. Great stuff 🙂

Revised Common Lectionary Commentary

Twelfth Sunday after Pentecost - August 7, 2016

Introductions for Readers

Saint Dominic contemplating the Scriptures

Saint Dominic
contemplating the Scriptures

Isaiah 1:1,10-20

Judah, the southern kingdom, has been invaded by the Assyrian army. Isaiah interprets Judah’s woes as God’s judgment on her rulers and people. Jerusalem, as yet still free, is likened to Sodom and Gomorrah. These cities were annihilated earlier by God for the depravity of their inhabitants, but there is a difference: God cares for Jerusalem.

Hebrews 11:1-3,8-16

Faith gives substance to our hopes and convinces us of the realities we do not see. The author gives his readers examples of Old Testament figures who had great faith. They trusted in God in spite of lacking the promises Christ has made to us.

Luke 12:32-40

Having told the story of the farmer who allowed wealth to completely obliterate God from his life, Jesus has said that striving for the kingdom is much more important than acquisition of material goods. Now he gives two examples of this striving: first, selling possessions to ensure that one’s focus is on the kingdom of heaven, and second, that we should be ready for his return.

    Perfect Summer Ideas for Your Mothers’ Group

    It’s time to give your local barista a break

    Having a newborn at home can be an isolating time, and mothers’ groups offer a great incentive to get out and socialise with other parents in your area. Generally set up by community health organisations, these groups often meet in cafes, and while many new parents probably rely on their daily dose of caffeine, the change in season may have you feeling like a change of scenery. Here are four activity ideas that will have your mothers’ group excited to pencil in some play dates.

    Picture This
    Babies are fascinated by colour and pattern from an early age, and visual stimulation is an important part of development. So, for an outing that will engage the minds of both babies and parents, suggest a gallery tour tailored for children aged 0-1.

    Screen Time

    When the weather forecast calls for air-conditioning, take your group to a “mums ’n’ bubs” cinema session. These are usually free for children under five, have the lights dimmed (rather than completely off) and reduce the sound levels for tiny ears. Plus, there will be no need to feel self-conscious if your little one decides to babble all the way through the movie.

    Get Outdoors

    Many babies enjoy watching the world go by from the comfort of their pram, so google “pram-friendly walks” in your local area and soak up the scenery. The Glebe Foreshore Walk and the Bay Run are great ones for Sydneysiders, or try the Riverwalk in Brisbane. As your babies get more mobile, swap the path for the playground and help them burn off all that energy.

    Make a Splash
    Visit your local pool or aquatic centre and join a baby swimming class – it will be a fun bonding experience, as well as a reprieve from the summer heat. Babies will become more familiar with the water, building a foundation for swimming skills later on, and will delight in learning how to blow bubbles. Check the minimum age requirement as it can vary between six weeks and six months.

    Lap up the Library
    It’s never too early to start reading to your baby, with many studies showing it has a positive effect on vocabulary development. One idea is to start a “baby book club” and meet at the library to read and swap your favourite books with other parents. Another idea is to join a “rhymetime” session. These are fun programs offered by many local councils that use songs, games and puppets to foster your babies’ literacy skills, and are often followed by morning tea – so you don’t have to forfeit your daily caffeine after all.

Final Reminder: End of All Seasons, Other Titles

This is a final reminder that the following titles will be going out of print on January 15th!

All editions - print and ebook - will no longer be available after that date, so if you haven't gotten a copy yet, now is definitely the time. As always, reviews are much appreciated.

And, if you haven't picked up my newest novel yet, it's called MURDER INK, and that one you really should pick up, read, and review. It's a fine story, made even better by my co-author Laurie Moore. Even Library Journal says it's good, calling it, a "refreshingly different take on the police procedural..." and adding, "The plot is handled deftly, and Dakota is a compelling protagonist...."

So, get one, get two, or get 'em all, because the first three are going away and the last one...well, let's be honest, I need the support!

Read on,

House price inflation at lowest since 2013

House price inflation at lowest since 2013
House price inflation has slowed for 12 consecutive months and is now at its lowest rate since 2013, according to the Your Move England and Wales House Price Index.

In the year to February, prices rose just 2.4% with the average house price in England and Wales costing £297,832.

Your-Move-Index-130317Estimated transactions in England and Wales in February were also down 0.4% on January at 62,000 but the year-to-date remained higher than in 2015 and 2013. (Click for larger graph image)

However, in February prices grew at their fastest monthly rate (0.6%) since October.

The estate agent noted that a strong start to the year for house prices was not yet reflected in annual figures, which suffered when compared to the previous year due to price spikes ahead of the last April’s Stamp Duty hike.

“When these drop out of the calculation in a couple of months, though, we hope to see the more positive trend,” it added.

Around the country, Merseyside and Birmingham experienced their peak prices – up 5% and 6.2% respectively – while the east of England saw the highest prices rises, up 5.9% over the year.

The North East was the only region that saw prices fall over the year (down 0.2%) although they held steady in February.

The housing market also remains unstable.

Despite annual price growth of more than 4% in the North West and West Midlands, both regions saw price falls from January to February.

Your Move and Reeds Rains managing director Oliver Blake said it was an encouraging start to 2017.

“The good news is that the number of first-time buyers grew last year and house building was up – although home ownership is now at its lowest level in over three decades.”

Rick and Freddie

RICK AND FREDDIE….John McCain says his campaign manager, Rick Davis, hasn’t worked for Freddie Mac for several years. However, according to “two people with direct knowledge of the arrangement,” that’s not true. In fact, his lobbying firm been receiving $15,000 from Freddie every month since 2005:

Mr. Davis’s firm received the payments from the company, Freddie Mac, until it was taken over by the government this month along with Fannie Mae, the other big mortgage lender whose deteriorating finances helped precipitate the cascading problems on Wall Street, the people said.

They said they did not recall Mr. Davis’s doing much substantive work for the company in return for the money, other than speak to a political action committee of high-ranking employees in October 2006 on the approaching midterm Congressional elections. They said Mr. Davis’s firm, Davis & Manafort, had been kept on the payroll because of Mr. Davis’s close ties to Mr. McCain, the Republican presidential nominee, who by 2006 was widely expected to run again for the White House….No one at Davis & Manafort other than Mr. Davis was involved in efforts on Freddie Mac’s behalf, the people familiar with the arrangement said.

You know, I’m basically willing to concede that Fannie and Freddie were bipartisan clusterfucks and just call it even as far as the campaigns are concerned. But only if they fess up to their sins and stop regaling us with ridiculous lies about their relationships. Rick Davis either needs to tell us what his firm was doing for its $15,000 a month or else he needs to provide a plausible explanation for why his firm continued to receive that sum for doing nothing. Come on, folks.

CBO Says Trump’s Plan for Obamacare Could Make Premiums Skyrocket

The proposal Trump has threatened would also add $194 billion to the deficit.

Chris Kleponis/ZUMA

The Congressional Budget Office released yet another damning health care report on Tuesday that spells trouble for one of President Donald Trump’s proposals for Obamacare. The CBO says that if Trump follows through on his threats to tank Obamacare through executive action, premiums will jump an extra 20 percent next year and the federal deficit will grow by an additional $194 billion over the next decade. Trump’s actions, the report finds, would leave 5 percent of the country living in a place with no insurance option on the individual market.

The CBO looked at what would happen if Obamacare’s “cost-sharing reductions” (or CSRs) were no longer paid by the federal government. The policy forces insurance companies to lower the costs of deductibles and copays for low-income families, with the promise that the federal government will pay the insurance companies back for those discounted rates.

But since Trump took office earlier this year, he has continually threatened to cut those payments. That would leave insurance companies in a bind, since they would still have to keep rates lower for those consumers. In order to make up for the lost government money, the insurance companies would have to raise other prices. The CBO expects that premiums would immediately skyrocket for the standard “silver” plans on the individual markets, jumping 20 percent higher in 2018 than under current law and reaching 25 percent more than current projections by 2020. Even then, the cost of CSR reductions without government payments would be too much for some insurers, so the CBO predicts that 5 percent of the country would live in an area where no insurer has policies for sale in 2018.

The higher premiums wouldn’t actually be a problem for the majority of people who buy individual insurance. For people earning below 400 percent of the poverty line, the government offers subsidies, with the amount individuals pay in premiums capped as a percentage of their income. So the higher cost of premiums will fall largely on the government, which is why the CBO predicts that Trump’s strategy to tank Obamacare would raise the deficit by $194 billion over the next 10 years.

Premature closure of sutures; Synostosis; Plagiocephaly; Scaphocephaly; Fontanelle - craniosynostosis; Soft spot - craniosynostosis

Craniosynostosis is a birth defect in which one or more of the sutures on a baby's head closes earlier than usual.

The skull of an infant or young child is made up of bony plates that allow for growth of the skull. The borders at which these plates intersect are called sutures or suture lines. The sutures between these bony plates normally close by the time the child is 2 or 3 years old.

Early closing of a suture causes the baby to have an abnormally shaped head and may limit brain growth.

Skull of a newborn

The "sutures" or anatomical lines where the bony plates of the skull join together can be easily felt in the newborn infant. The diamond shaped space on the top of the skull and the smaller space further to the back are often referred to as the "soft spot" in young infants.

RE: Developing Curriculum for Moviestorm

Hello Andrew,

Once I finish Libertaria, I can give you some specific examples.

As an aside, I teach a media course online and helped the US school University of Phoenix develop online curriculum for their online university (which has about 100K students a year), I am in the process of developing more online coursework for a NY school. I studied music technology and new media and hold an M.M. in Music Technology, with a specialization in new media, with additional graduate coursework in film.

If you want more insight about developing this type of coursework, I am a bit of a curriculum geek with fifteen years of academic experience from grade school to grad school. (How's that for a pitch?) smile.gif

You can e-mail me at spenayoung@gmail.com if you would like to chat about this more in-depth or would like a C.V.

Animation at MPC

All you need to know about Animation at MPC

Animation at MPC

MPC is one of the leading VFX animation studios in the world - and we're expanding again as we move into 2018.

Our team constantly raise the bar with what is possible in delivering animation excellence in our unrivalled slate of Hollywood blockbuster shows. In 2016 our animation work was key to our Oscar win for The Jungle Book, delivering vividly expressive and memorable characterization to a cast of CG animals.

Our shows currently in production present a variety of exciting and ambitious challenges for our artists. Dumbo, for example, is yet another Disney production to be entrusted to the team at MPC. This is likely to be a visually stunning and idiosyncratic affair with auteur Tim Burton in the director's chair. There will be opportunities across the board to join the team but if you're an animator there will be some particularly amazing sequences to get to grips with in creating some seriously cute and fully emotive non-speaking performances for Dumbo and Mrs Jumbo. There's also the small matter of creating a convincing flying baby elephant along with portraying the strong emotional bond between Dumbo, his mum and other key members of the cast.

We are also working on the Lion King, once again aiming to deliver Jon Favreau's vision for this Disney classic in the same way that we produced Oscar-winning work for Jungle Book with the same director. The cast of beloved and famous characters present an artistic challenge for the team - animating photo-real characters that so flawlessly that they will be virtually indistinguishable from the best documentary footage.

Other shows currently being crafted by our talented team of animators include Aquaman, Godzilla: King of the Monsters, The Predator, The Nutcracker and many more.

Interested in finding out about opportunities to work on these and our other shows. Get in touch with our team for a chat.

From The Expert Feature Article
February 01, 2013

Growth of Enterprise Cloud Expected to Slow Over Next Five Years

While cloud adoption continues to climb, the growth market for enterprise cloud-based services is expected to decrease over the next five years as the size of the overall cloud services market expands.

The worldwide market for enterprise cloud-based services is expected to grow from $18.3 billion in 2012 to $31.9 billion in 2017, according to the latest forecast by research firm Analysys (News - Alert) Mason. By comparison, the firm previously predicted cloud computing services would grow from approximately $13 billion in annual revenue in 2010 to more than $35 billion in 2015.

The forecast for enterprise cloud services growth is more pessimistic than last year and Analysys Mason expects IT spending to continue to slow in developed regions. Enterprise cloud services will continue to grow, but not at the same pace as vendors and service providers have expected, Steve Hilton, principal analyst and author of the report, told TMCnet.

“Challenges from the global economy, hesitancy to transition to hosted services and concerns about data security have impeded growth slightly,” Hilton explained. “That being said, we anticipate continued large enterprise and SME interest in specific cloud services like UC, email/messaging, document collaboration, CRM, storage, mobile device management and remote desktop support.”

Specifically, the year-on-year growth rate is forecast to be 17 percent in 2013, but will decrease during the next five years as the size of the cloud services market increases overall.

Software-as-a-Service (SaaS (News - Alert)) accounted for 66 percent of revenue in 2012, while 33 percent was related to infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS). This revenue split will change during the next five years, as the share of revenue from IaaS increases to 43 percent by 2017.

Analysys Mason defines “public cloud services” as the provision of applications or infrastructure in a hosted, multi-tenancy model, where pricing is generally structured as a recurring charge.

“This slowing of growth is the result of difficult economic conditions worldwide and slower-than-anticipated adoption of new IT technology by both large and small enterprises,” the report said.

In developed countries, revenue from enterprise cloud services will increase from $17 billion in 2012 to $28.7 billion in 2017, at a CAGR of 11 percent. In emerging markets, revenue from such services will remain far smaller, increasing from $1.2 billion in 2012 to $3.2 billion in 2017, at a CAGR of 20.9 percent.

The share of worldwide enterprise public cloud services revenue generated from emerging markets will be slightly above 10 percent by 2017 – up from 7 percent in 2012.

Communications service providers (CSP (News - Alert)) will account for an increasing share of enterprise cloud services sales as they bundle more offerings with core connectivity. CSPs will account for 12 percent of worldwide revenue from enterprise cloud services in 2012 – down from 14 percent from Analysys Mason’s previous forecast, as CSPs continue to position themselves as ICT providers rather than communications providers to large enterprises and small and medium-sized enterprises (SME).

Analysys Mason’ recently published “Enterprise cloud services: worldwide forecast 2012–2017,” provides a five-year forecast of cloud services revenue worldwide, split into four enterprise size segments, four channels to market, eight geographical regions and 12 countries.

Ad for Kotex sanitary napkins, April 1932, U.S.A.
Delineator magazine, Kimberly-Clark

Edward Steichen, a famous photographer, took a series of photos that Kotex used in advertisements in the 1920s and 30s. This ad probably forms a part of that series.

This ad rivals the famous Modess . . . because series in elegance. Maybe an attempt to dignify something most people hate.

At exactly this time, 1932, Kotex published its employee magazine, Cooperation, which shows the many men who worked there and ran the place, which you'd never know looking at the ads.
BUT you'll find these men and more in much later advertising - in evil Europe, of course, not in clean-cut, right-thinking America, where they hide.
And not just in Europe, in France, a country many members of the U.S. Congress and a certain political party scorn for its, well, French ways!

Below: The black-and-white ad measures 10 1/2 x 13 1/2" (26.7 x  34.3 cm) showing the size of the beautiful magazines of the era.
The photo at top left has been heavily retouched - look at her hand and face - maybe to bring it closer to the woman next to her. A bad job.
"Alert eyes" the caption says. She looks about to slump forward onto the floor.

The fearful look on the woman at right contrasts with the calmer (sleepier?) Kotex workers.
No telling when you'll need a pad so the woman brought a box of Kotex with her, which might explain her look. "I hope nobody notices it!"
What a silly idea the ad maker had.

Below: Edward Steichen took this shot of future photographer Lee Miller, which Kotex employed for the March 1929 issue of the Delineator. You can see similarities to the style of the photo above. Larger view and discussion.
Below: October 1928. Probably another Steichen photo. Larger view.
Below: March 1949 ad for Modess, magazine unknown. This was one of many laconic ads in the Modess .... because series in the same classy tradition as the Kotex ads.
Another important photographer entered menstruation advertising, working with her husband on the Modess .... because series: Diane Arbus, who grew to hate the fashion world, left it and her husband to take monumental pictures of people. She killed herself at 48.

Welcome to the memorial page for

Jane Ann Hasselman Hocking

October 25, 1930 ~ April 21, 2017 (age 86)

The Piano Brothers

Jane Ann Hasselman Hocking, 86, died April 21, 2017 at her home in Roxbury, CT.  She was preceded in death by her husband, James Robert Hocking.  She was born October 25, 1930 in LaSalle, Illinois, the daughter of the late Albert and Elsie Fay Hasselman.

            She attended Penn Hall Junior College, where she was named Penn Hall Girl, and then transferred to the University of Wisconsin at Madison, where she graduated with a degree in physical education. She joined the Alpha Phi sorority in college and treasured a lifelong membership.

            After college, she worked for a year as a kindergarten teacher before meeting the love of her life, James Robert Hocking, who had just graduated from the US Naval Academy.  They were married December 19, 1954 and embarked on a several year career of military service that included postings in Port Lyautey, Morocco and at the Pentagon.

            After her husband left the service, Jane made homes for her family in Illinois, Massachusetts, Florida, New York, and Connecticut.  She had a knack for creating homes of comfort and beauty for her family of five children and eventually, eight grandchildren.  She enjoyed playing doubles tennis competitively in Weston, Massachusetts at the Weston Golf Club and took up golf later in life, which she enjoyed playing with her husband and other male members of her family.  She loved to garden and was a longtime volunteer member of the Cathedral Garden Conservancy at St. John the Divine.  She also served on the Alter Guild at Christ Church in Roxbury.

            Jane is survived by her five children Scott, Leslie, Jennifer, Rachel, and Douglas, sons-in-law Jim Abbott and Bob Armington, daughter-in-law Melinda Abrams, and her grandchildren Sarah Jane, Sophie, Nicholas, Rosalie, Lily, Jacob, Peter, and Rebecca.  She was pre-deceased by her parents Albert and Elsie Hasselman and brother Tom Hasselman.

Official: Disney announces Muppet Babies return in 2018

Discussion in 'Muppet Babies' started by Phillip, Oct 26, 2016.

    Well, the first movie is sort of how it happened. Then other sources from the Muppets themselves say otherwise. Like Miss Piggy was a farm girl. Or Kermit meeting the Electric Mayhem at a dry cleaners.

    Well, I guess Miss Piggy might've still been a farm girl before she started doing pageants.

    As for the Electric Mayhem, the band members don't even seem to remember how they met each other. So I wouldn't trust anything they say.

    Plus, we have two different on screen accounts of Kermit and Scooter's first meeting. In the movie, they met because Scooter was the Electric Mayhem's manager, yet just three years earlier on The Muppet Show it was established that they met because he was looking for a job and his uncle owned the theater.

    :mad: ;) :D:sing::flirt::cool::halo: :)

    I think the one thing that's pretty much canon is that the Muppets really have no actual canon to speak of.

    As was said in previous threads, another thing this reboot should do is have the babies explore the world outside of the nursery every so often, not just imagine it. That's probably the only thing Baby Looney Tunes did better than the original MB.

    I was watching Spongebob and it hit me.

    What the Muppet Babies did back then with superimposing themselves over live action footage, be it licensed or public domain, that was pretty darn trail blazing. Now it seems the technology is easy enough that most wacky shows are able to do that regularly as well, thus making it look a lot less unique and groundbreaking.

    I wonder if the new series is going to do that as well, and just try to blend the CGI characters into the footage a little more seamlessly. Sort of something you'd expect from Gumball.

    Remember when they had Kermit and Piggy at the Winner's Circle of The $25,000 Pyramid with Dick Clark guest-starring? It would be fun to see an update of that with the current Michael Strahan-hosted $100,000 Pyramid, assuming it lasts long enough.

    Back to the subject of taking the Babies out of the Nursery...

    If there's one thing I think both The Muppets '15 and The Muppet Show Comic Book did brilliantly, it was that they took the action outside of the show. Sure, The Muppet Show did have like one on location episode, and that was pretty good for a change of pace. Taking them out of that fixed location really gave the story aspects some depth to them. It's a shame that they never really did such things in the original series for the sake of fawning over guest stars.

    As for Muppet Babies, I'm all for them exploring and being taken places. Much as I despise Baby Looney Tunes (though I'm starting to be convinced that the late 60's LT cartoons are the worst), taking the babies other places and meeting others and learning about things actually worked. Thing is, BLT did steal a lot from MB, everything that is except their fantasy sequences. Those do technically take them out of the Nursery, especially in extended sequences. I would hope if they do take the Babies around places they find a nice balance of fantasy segments and outside segments and incorporate some setting into their fantasy sequences. Especially extended full episode ones.

    Steve Swanson and JD Hansel have interesting things to say about this news. I love Steve's reaction about the new version of Nanny. Listen from 7:53 to 23:30 and to hear Jarrod Fairclough's thoughts, listen from 55:20 to 57:41: http://muppethub.com/the-muppet-newsflash-podcast-3/

    You know, since Tom Warburton is the executive producer, it makes me wonder wonder if his buddy Mo Willems will be involved in some way? If he's actually a writer, that would be all kinds of awesome, as he would know how to write irreverent Muppet-style humor considering his work on Sesame Street and Sheep in the Big City. :)

    That actually WOULD be funny.

    Also, I have to wonder if what Guy Gilchrist told me yesterday at Wizard World Philadelphia is the truth: That Disney doesn't want to do any 'profit sharing' with some of the companies who have clips owned by them featured in the show, and thus that's why the DVD hasn't happened yet. If so, that would be painfully bad news. That being said, however, I cannot lose hope. Not yet. The 60s Batman television series had a similarly painful / tricky legal wrangling process that eventually straightened itself out and we now have every episode of the original Batman 60s TV show on DVD *and* Blu-Ray. Hopefully Disney isn't being petty about this and can straighten that out in time for the new show's debut.

Museum of the American Railroad

Latest Events Minimize
Track Work Begins at the Museum's Frisco Site!

Track construction at the Museum of the American Railroad’s Frisco site has begun!  Workers with Trac-Work, Inc. began placing new crossties on the westernmost end of what will become the Museum’s tail track.  The first 300 feet of track material was put in place today as part of a 4,000 foot Phase IA track construction project.

Construction will progress in a northeast direction through the Museum site and eventually connect with BNSF’s main line to the north of Cotton Gin Road.  Five turnouts (switches) will be constructed in place, along with the Museum’s runaround track.  Work is expected to take 30-40 days, weather permitting.

While the ties are new, the rail is being recycled from the Santa Fe (originally Kansas City, Mexico & Orient) Line near San Angelo, Texas.  The rail was produced by Colorado Fuel & Iron mills in Pueblo, and the Gary Steel Works near Chicago between 1918 and 1920.  Weighing 90 lbs/yard (a unit of measurement for rail), the 39-foot sections will be bolted in place as track work progresses.  The Museum’s rolling stock collection currently rests on 65-85 lb rail at Fair Park.  Today’s industry standard for mainline railroads is 130-150 lbs/yard.

For updates on construction at the Frisco site, click here.

The Museum of the American Railroad is a 501 (c)(3) not-for-profit Texas Corporation dedicated to preserving the heritage and exploring the future of railroads through historic preservation, research, and educational programming.  Since 1963, the Museum has engaged in collecting artifacts and archival material from the railroad industry for the purpose of preserving, exhibiting, and interpreting their significance in American life and culture.   Educational programs are available to local schools and universities through study trips, in-class programming & outreach, and online resources at:

<<  -- 2 --  Rex Harley    A MIXED BAG

As for Garland's work on tenor sax, it was reminiscent of Sonny Rollins in the 1980s, but Rollins could always take you by surprise. Garland played with great fluency, and at times fire, particularly when he changed to the soprano, but there was more brio than substance, and not a memorable tune in sight. The closest was his own composition, Bajo del Sol, the one featuring bass clarinet which he played with a natural lyricism.

And what of the leader? He contributed the final number: The Wooden Man Sings and the Stone Woman Dances, which included some imaginative sound-making both on the drum-kit and additional percussion, but there's something oddly academic in his playing. Combined with Hamilton's under-powered contribution, and Lawrence Cottle's over-powered bass, I was left with the frustrated feeling that we'd come close to hearing something good but that, in the end, nothing had quite added up.

Perhaps the main event, Joe Zawinul's Zawinul Syndicate would put that right?

5 Affordable Ways To Revamp Your Business

Here’s a scenario that many business owners the world over find themselves in:

Business has been slow for awhile. It doesn’t seem that you’re doing anything wrong exactly, but there’s a lackluster feeling about the whole enterprise. You’ve got enough orders to keep going, but that’s very different from feeling like business is booming

What’s even worse is that you aren’t feeling it so much anymore. The novelty of being your own boss is beginning to wear off, and you’re starting to feel like it’s just another job you have to drag yourself to on a daily basis.

So what can you do about it?

It’s business revamp time

A business revamp could be just what you need to lift the spirits, get your heart back in it, and attract new customers.

Of course, business revamps aren’t cheap - not if you’re going to do them properly, anyway. Given that we’ve established the business isn’t exactly flourishing with spare cash, how can you introduce new life to your company - but without breaking the bank?

1) Redesign Your Logo

Companies like WithOomph allow you to redesign your logo DIY style, for a fraction of what it could cost to hire a designer. A new logo can help breathe new life into a business, giving you a new sense of direction. Choose your logo to represent what you hope your business will be in the future; a little aspiration can go a long way.

2) Relaunch The Same Campaigns

If you have done advertising blitzes before, then finding the money for a new one is something you probably know is going to test your budget. But why does it have to be a new one? There’s nothing wrong with using the same literature and artwork that went into previous promotional materials, especially if you launch them on a smaller scale to keep costs down.

3) Run A Giveaway

If you want renewed interest in your company for relatively little effort, then a giveaway is definitely the way to go. Even if you run a services company rather than products, you can still advertise amazing discount rates or even free one-off services. Run these campaigns primarily on social media, with the insistence all entrants follow your business accounts to be allowed entry. The buzz should be enough to snare you a few more customers at least.

4) Hire New Staff

You might be wondering how such a suggestion counts as “affordable” - well, it depends on who you hire and for how much. Sometimes even just taking in an unpaid intern can be enough to get your excitement firing again, offering a new perspective. While long-term staff who have been with you through everything are hugely beneficial, it does often mean that you’re in an echo chamber of the same ideas from the same people. Introducing a new perspective - even for a short while - can start a whole new era of success for you.

5) Attend A Trade Show

You don’t need to pay to exhibit at a trade show to be able to make use of them. Trade shows are as much a networking opportunity as they are a chance for certain businesses to show off. So pack some business cards into your pocket and go and talk to people; you never know what might happen as a result of your efforts.

I hope you enjoyed this article about affordable ways to revamp your bootstrapped business.

10 Tips For Getting The Best Results From Your Photographer

Great wedding photography doesn't always just happen. Here are 10 tips to help you get the best results from your photographer.

1. Establish a timeline of events to be covered on your special day. That way there will be no surprises for the photographer and you can relax knowing nothing will be missed by the photographer.  After hiring Artistic Images by Tammy, she'll give you her wedding information document to help you establish this important task.  Every wedding is unique and I try to keep it that way, this is your day!

2. Assign at least 2 point people (usually the best man & maid of honor) to help the photographer with group photos. Ultimately, you and your friends/family will know who everyone is and be able to see if anyone is missing from the all important group shots. No one will be left out that way.  *This can also be a great time saver, so you're not searching for people while we are taking the group shots.

3. Be assertive! If there are certain poses you want to be captured in or poses from magazines, brochures or online, then tell the photographer. The more precise you are with your wants and needs, the less chance there will be for disappointment after your wedding.  *I love to hear what you're looking for, because every bride has that one photograph that she wants recreated!

4. Drink lots of water before your wedding. Skin is a reflective surface and the more water you drink beforehand, the better your pictures will turn out.

5. Make sure the photographer you choose is interested in shooting your event! This may sound crazy but there are a lot of photographers and studios out there who don't care about what you actually want or how you feel about your day being captured. Many just want to rope you into a package and then hold your images to ransom afterwards. One of the easiest ways to avoid this is to think about how the photographer interacts with you. If he or she is pushing print or album prices without even talking to you about what you think you need then alarm bells should ring.

6. Let your guests know that you are having a professional take pictures during your wedding. A lot of family and guests can now relax knowing your wedding will be covered properly, amateur photographers and enthusiastic guests will know to hold off firing their point-and-shoot camera flash for a minute while the photographer poses and photographs the couple.

7. Have fun. It's a wedding. It can be stressful, but if you don't enjoy yourself, the pictures will reflect that. Hopefully you've talked with your photographer before hand and can relax in his or her presence. If not, just follow the professional's instructions and smile.

8. Practice smiling. It's weird to say, but a lot of brides I have met during my consultations have never even thought about having their picture taken by a professional before. After a few test shots I hear "do I really smile like that?" a lot. Spend some time in front of a mirror smiling. The more you feel relaxed smiling the better the photos will be.

9. If the photographer needs to get a shot of your kids, tell him or her the name of your child and perhaps something interesting about them like what game your child likes, e.g. peek-a-boo or favorite movie. The more then photographer can engage the kids with something interesting to say or do, the more relaxed the kids will be.

10. Always give your wedding photographer a hug at the end of the day! They might seem calm and composed throughout your day, but we assure you, a lot of planning, prepping and worrying was and will be done on your behalf before, during and after the wedding.

2007 Lexus RX 350 Values

Select a 2007 Lexus RX 350 trim level

2007 model year changes

Lexus's midsize RX crossover SUV is completely redesigned for 2007. The RX 350, replacing last year's RX 330 model, gets more power (47 more horsepower, to be exact) and increased fuel efficiency, in addition to improvements in ride and handling and new options such as a rear DVD player with 9-inch screen and an Adaptive Front lighting system. Both front- and all-wheel-drive 400h hybrid models return for 2007.

Competitive comparison

Acceleration; fuel economy; extreme efficiency of 400h hybrid model; interior comfort; luxury and technology features.

Special features for 2007

Performance is now a standout attribute for the 2007 Lexus RX; the new RX 350 can accelerate from 0 to 60 in as little as 7.3 seconds, which Lexus says is comparable to some rival V8 models. The RX 350 also provides the best-in-class fuel economy rating, though, at 20 city, 25 highway for the front-wheel-drive model. The crossover SUV has been redesigned with a sleeker, sportier appearance, and a more luxurious interior, while the RX can be equipped with several high-tech luxury features, such as laser cruise control and adaptive headlights, that are otherwise available in more expensive vehicles. The former RX 330 was ranked highest among entry luxury SUVs in J.D. Power and Associates' Initial Quality Study (IQS).

Updated for 2007 and replacing the RX 330, the RX350 is an entry-level luxury cross-over SUV that has four-doors and five-passenger seating capacity. Available in Premium, Premium Plus, Performance, Navigation System, Multi-Moon and Luxury Package, the RX350 has a 3.5Liter V6 that delivers 270HP with a five-speed automatic transmission and is available in either front-wheel or all-wheel-drive configuration.

    Time: 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM MST
    Event Description:
    ?Portals? Solo exhibition of 14 major landscape paintings by Rachel Teannalach. The body of work features a geographic panorama of iconic landscapes each within 150 miles of Boise. The fourteen 88?x48? landscape paintings are intended to be experienced as ?portals? to the diverse and beautiful landscapes surrounding Idaho?s capitol city. The format for this body of work is inspired by the Piazzoni murals at the de Young Museum in San Francisco (The Land and The Sea), which depict the Northern California hills and coast in a multi-panel, panoramic form. Teannalach felt that such a tribute should exist of southern Idaho as well. Though the collection is a geographically cohesive collection, each painting has been created as a stand-alone piece and is available for individual purchase. Painting locations include the Sawtooth and White Cloud Mountains, Bruneau Sand Dunes, Hell?s Canyon, and the Boise Foothills. The medium is oil and wax on linen-stretched panels. Rachel Teannalach is a contemporary landscape painter based in Boise, Idaho. She is known especially for her "tinyExpanse" daily paintings. More info at www.teannalach.com Exhibition dates ?

Restoration of the George Mason Memorial

Situated at the southern tip of the Tidal Basin, the George Mason Memorial honors the Virginia native and his contributions to the founding of this nation. As the Virginia representative to the United States Constitutional Convention, Mason is best known as the father of the Bill of Rights. He was a dedicated advocate of individual liberties and instrumental in shaping the American legal system as we know it today.

The Memorial site has a long history as a garden which dates back to the late 19th century when it was designed as a Victorian garden. It was later established as one of four national gardens by the McMillian Commission of 1902. A century later, the Memorial commemorating Mason was designed to incorporate this rich history and Mason's love of gardens. Dedicated in 2002, the Memorial was designed around the historic fountain and includes a larger-than-life statue of George Mason. Framing the statue is a stone wall engraved with quotations from the "Forgotten Father," and a 72 foot long trellis.

Since the Memorial completion, the central fountain has become plagued with algae blooms and costly maintenance. In addition, the extensive planting beds have been worn down and can no longer support the elegant plantings that have defined this site for over a century.

The rehabilitation of the George Mason Memorial is now underway. The yearlong project will include reconstruction of the central fountain, adding perennial plantings throughout the site and a thorough touch-up to the George Mason statue, trellis, and inscriptions.

The project is funded through a public-private partnership, with half of the funding provided by an appropriation from the National Park Service Centennial Challenge program, and an equal match from the Trust for the National Mall through generous donors including the Dr. Scholl Foundation and others.

Stay tuned for updates from this project.

Pentagon Reportedly Buried Study Exposing $125 Billion in Waste

Senior defense officials reportedly suppressed a study documenting $125 billion worth of administrative waste at the Pentagon out of fears that Congress would use its findings to cut the defense budget, The Washington Post reported late Monday.

The report, which was issued in January 2015 by the advisory Defense Business Board (DBB), called for a series of reforms that would have saved the department $125 billion over the next five years.

Among its other findings, the report showed that the Defense Department was paying just over 1 million contractors, civilian employees and uniformed personnel to fill back-office jobs. That number nearly matches the amount of active-duty troops — 1.3 million, the lowest since 1940.

The Post reported that some Pentagon leaders feared the study’s findings would undermine their claims that years of budget sequestration had left the military short of money.  In response, they imposed security restrictions on information used in the study and even pulled a summary report from a Pentagon website.

“They’re all complaining that they don’t have any money,” former DBB chairman Robert Stein told the Post.  “We proposed a way to save a ton of money.”

Deputy Defense Secretary Robert Work, who originally ordered the study, told the paper that the plan laid out in the report was “unrealistic.”

“There is this meme that we’re some bloated, giant organization,” Work said.  “Although there is a little bit of truth in that …  I think it vastly overstates what’s really going on.”

Pentagon spokesman Peter Cook echoed Work’s claim in a statement to Fox News, which said that the DBB report “had limited value” because it “lacked specific, actionable recommendations appropriate to the department.”

Work claimed that some of the report’s recommendations were being implemented on a smaller scale and would save an estimated $30 billion by 2020.  However, the Post reported that most of the programs had been long-planned or were unrelated to the Defense Business Board report.
