Quiltmaker's 100 Blocks, Volume 7, Blog Tour!
Hello! Welcome to my little corner of the Quiltmaker's 100 Blocks Blog Tour for Volume 7. I'm so excited to be kicking off the tour on the very first day. Woo-Hoo! Thank you, Quiltmaker. You're the best.
Here's my block for this issue, it's called Summer's End. It's block #609 in the magazine. This time around I experimented with some soft flannels on a creamy cotton background. I really enjoyed working with the flannel fabrics. They handled beautifully. Because my block is a little dark, (like the end of Summer) I thought I would show how it would look in a few different colorways.
This is the Summer's End, Winter version! All cool, icy blues. The stems are a light brown, and the leaves have a frosted look to them. These are some stubborn flowers to still be blooming in the chilly weather.
This is the Summer's End, Spring version. All is bright and brand new, with pretty pink flowers and fresh greens. I used the snowflake background because it was an unusually cold Spring this year.
And this is the Autumn version of Summer's End. I kept the daisy type flower in the pinks because I wanted to show how it looks when bright colors pop against a dark background. I love this look in applique. Also, note the busy fabric I used for the stems. It really adds some pizazz to the block.
This is the Summer's End quilt I made using four of my blocks, This was a fun little quilt to sew. I love the sawtooth setting and the brightness the turquoise blocks add to the overall look. The different shades of orange have been speaking to me lately; it really gave me a sense of peace to use them in this quilt.
Thanks so much for visiting my blog today. And now for the giveaway!
And one of my latest in the popular Basket Cats series of patterns, "Lady of the Lake Cat".
To enter, simply leave me a comment letting me know what season is your personal favorite. I'll draw a winner on May 4th. Good luck!

It's Quilt Mug and Giant Button Day!
One of the best aspects of having a block in Quiltmaker's 100 Blocks issues is you get one of these fab mugs! Mine came in the mail yesterday - happy dance! It has all of the blocks from upcoming issue 7 on it in tiny, detailed, miniature. Oh joy!
I added it to my 100 Blocks mug collection. I'm ready to have four friends over for coffee and angel food cake. Anyone?
And here's my BIG button. They are really big! 5-3/4" across on my quilty ruler.
I have my big button collection hanging on a wall in my studio, next to my sewing machine. They are fun to look at.
All this quilty excitement leads us up to the Quiltmaker's 100 Blocks Blog Tour, starting this Monday, April 29th. I will be on the tour that day. Be sure to visit my blog for a giveaway of the upcoming issue of 100 Blocks. Plus, I will be having an additional giveaway of some kind of quilting goody to go with it. I'm not sure what yet, pattern? fabric? another issue of the magazine? Maybe all three? Visit me this Monday to find out!
I've got two more to go after this one.
The Liberty Coins Cat Quilt Block.
Which one should I do next?
Until next time....please visit the Curlicue Creations Shop...and have a super day!

See you then!
There's just nothing quite like an old quilt. When I'm out vintage shopping, and I come across a quilt, I always wonder...who made this? How old is it? And even, what was the maker thinking about while he/she sewed this quilt?
Here's a lovely, old, Four Patch quilt I rescued from the thrift shop this week for $2.00. It's completely hand sewn. It's tied with yarn, rather than quilted. Very nice. I have no idea how old it is. The fabrics were hard to place. I'm thinking late 70's, early 80's...maybe.
I got a little more work done on my Basket Cats quilt top this week. I used some of this Green Bamboo Batik to sew a narrow border to the top and bottom edges.
Then I headed outside to take another flying clothesline photo. Maybe I should start making kites?
Here's how my kitties are looking today. I'm going to add an additional brown border around all four edges to finish it up.
Here's a close-up of the Shoo-Fly Cat Quilt Block. This one reminds me of my own kitty, Click-Click-Kit-Kat-Sweetheart-Babygirl-Babydoll-Peekaboo-Babyface. We just call her Kit Kat for short.
My Basket Cats Quilt Top...In Progress!
I'm still sewing on my Basket Cats Quilt. My newly designed top for this quilt is almost complete. Here's how it's sewing so far.
Here's another one of the blocks, up close and personal-like. It's the Windmill Cat. I love the way the eyes came out on this cat. Mysterious and cat-like. Do you remember "Felix the Cat"? I do.
I started sewing the blocks together into vertical rows of four each.
Three rows total. It was fun to mix the blocks up until they were "just right".
I auditioned several fabrics for the solid strips that are going alongside the Flying Geese strips. Remember the Folded Flying Geese from a couple of posts ago?
I decided on this gorgeous batik fabric I had leftover from my Fresh 'N Fancy quilt from Quilts from Quiltmaker's 100 Blocks, Spring Issue. I loooove this fabric. Wish I had gobs more of it.
Here I am pinning it to the kitty blocks, too.
And outside I went to take a quickie clothesline pic for you, dear readers. It doesn't matter how calm and beautiful the day is, the wind always kicks up when it's picture time. I guess the wind wants to be seen, too.
Finally, a calm moment. These two sections need to be stitched together, and then a few more borders. Maybe I'll be finished with the top for next time. I hope so. I just got a big stack of sewing, quilting, and embroidering books from the local thrift shop today & I'm extra inspired to sew.
Quiltmaker's 100 Blocks Volume 7 Sneak Peek!
Yes! It's the pink issue! Here's a sneaky peek at the cover for Volume 7, on sale in early May.
My block did not make the cover, but looky looky at all the imaginative blocks that did! My kids want me to make the school bus block already.
I will be on the blog tour again for this issue - details on that next week!
Folded Flying Geese are Fun!
Good day, dear readers! If you've been keeping up with me on Facebook, then you know I've been working on the Basket Cats quilt for the past couple of weeks. I've almost got all of the block patterns finished and in the shop - Hooray!
The blocks are all paper pieced, and finish at 12". Above is the Square in a Square Cat Quilt Block.
It's been quite a while since I originally designed this quilt, so I completely redrew the quilt setting. I'll show you a bit of it today.
It's going to have a Flying Geese border down each side of the quilt. I've made Flying Geese using countless methods in the past. They are one of my favorite blocks to include in a quilt because I love the movement they add to a design.
I recently learned how to make the folded type, at our quilting group a month or so ago. This is my favorite technique to date, so I'm going to try to explain how it's done.
For each unit, you'll need a rectangle the size you want the finished block to be plus 1/2" for seam allowance.
I wanted my geese to finish at 2" x 4", so I cut my rectangles 2-1/2" x 4-1/2" (the green fabric). This will be the "goose" fabric.
Cut two squares the same size as the short side of the rectangle for your "sky" fabric. Mine were 2-1/2" x 2-1/2" (the yellow fabric).
Next, fold the rectangle in half with the wrong sides together. Sandwich it in between the two squares with their right sides together, and the raw edges aligned. The fold should be approx. 1/4" from the top edge. Sew one (yes! Only one seam!) 1/4" seam down the side of the unit.
Open it like a book (see top unit). Then simply fold the rectangle into a triangle (see middle unit), and press. Voila! I also pressed the back seam open for less bulk (see bottom unit).
One folded flying goose unit.
Two folded flying geese units. See how nicely the points come out.
A whole flock of flying geese!
They are ready to fly into my quilt. I hope the kitties can resist chasing them!
Here's the most recent addition to the Basket Cat series, block 9, the Heart Cat Quilt Block Pattern. So cheery, and loving, too.


The Punch Regios is the 3rd Limited Edition cigar from 2017, along with the Partagas Serie No.1 and the Cohiba Talisman, a powerful Habanos.
• Perfect construction and a great potential for ageing.
Like all the Limited Edition cigars, the Punch Regios de Punch is rolled with some 2 years tobacco leafs. As a result, the wrapper is of a nice dark brown color. The cigar appears rustic, the wrapper is toothy and some small veins are apparent but the overall construction looks great.
Great aroma upon opening the box. At cold, the wrapper emits scents of leather with touches of citrus. The Regios de Punch leaves some sugary notes on the lips with the distinctive Cuban twang as well as some bitter nuttiness. The cold draw brings some flavors of wood, some char-grilled notes and still the hints of citrus.
The draw is spot-on from the get-go, and the burn is never troublesome. The ash builds-up nicely past the inch mark in beautiful dark grey rings. The draw remains good throughout the rest of the cigar, with just the right amount of resistance.
The Regios de Punch starts off unexpectedly creamy and mild, which is unusual for a Punch cigar. There are flavors of wood, leather with some floral notes and some spiciness as well. However after the first few puffs, the cigar picks up in strength and quickly settles above the medium mark. The overall flavor profile is very well balanced, now dominated by the leather, the strong cedar and a good amount of roasted espresso. The cigar emits a thick white smoke which has notes of black pepper and vanilla, making the whole experience very pleasant.
Once the ash falls off after an inch, the Regios de Punch reveals a perfect slow burning dome. The flavors are still very creamy in the middle section, now with the additional hints of nuts and almonds, some orange zest, pepper and and ample toasty earth notes. The cigar is overall a bit sweeter, but the strength is still well above the medium mark.


The European Medical Training Center, better known as EM-TRAC, is an initiative of the Cardiovascular Center Maastricht UMC+ (CVC Maastricht). The CVC Maastricht is a center of excellence for complex, highly-specialized care, ground-breaking scientific research, teaching and training in the area of cardiovascular diseases.
The aim of EM-TRAC is to create an international medical teaching environment in which doctors and other healthcare professionals (such as lab technicians, managers and nurses) can increase their cardiovascular knowledge and skills in accordance with the latest developments in technology and science.
The ultimate aim is to provide a healthier future for cardiovascular patients by investing in optimally trained and doctors and healthcare professionals. The CVC Maastricht seeks to achieve this by organizing internationally recognized education and training for cardiovascular specialist, fellows, technicians, and nurses who will learn from the leading specialists in the CVC Maastricht.

Currently I am working in a gender specific services with women who have been involved in the criminal justice system or being at risk of offending. The services we provide are voluntary however in some cases there are requirements from the court, probation or police for the woman to engage. I am the Parenting and Domestic Violence/abuse worker and I am dealing with cases where the woman has experienced domestic violence/abuse and/or the woman is pregnant, has child/ren and there are issues regarding parenting skills or parental responsibility. My duty is to provide holistic support (one to one), including advocacy. I have to liaise with external agencies (Social Services, Probation, courts, Family Drug and Alcohol Court, Children centre, police etc) and develop, facilitate workshops. At the organisation, I am the Designated Lead professional in safeguarding issues and I am responsible to overview cases related to this matter and to deliver Safeguarding/ Child protection training to peer mentors and to the employees of the organisation. I am also a MARAC (Multi Agency Risk Assessment Conference) representative of the organisation (victim focused meeting on the local highest risk cases of domestic violence/abuse).
Previously I was working with male offenders at probation approved premises. The duty was partly public protection by monitoring individuals following the release from prison and make sure they are complying with their license conditions and to support them to re-integrate, re-settle back in society.

Coefficients alpha, beta, omega, and the glb: Comments on Sijtsma
WILLIAM REVELLE
DEPARTMENT OF PSYCHOLOGY, NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY
RICHARD E. ZINBARG
DEPARTMENT OF PSYCHOLOGY, THE FAMILY INSTITUTE AT NORTHWESTERN
UNIVERSITY, NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY
There are three fundamental problems in Sijtsma (Psychometrika, 2008): (1) contrary to the name, the glb is not the greatest lower bound of reliability but rather is systematically less than ωt (McDonald, Test theory: A unified treatment, Erlbaum, Hillsdale, 1999), (2) we agree with Sijtsma that when considering how well a test measures one concept, α is not appropriate, but recommend ωt rather than the glb, and (3) the end user needs procedures that are readily available in open source software.
Key words: reliability, internal consistency, homogeneity, test theory, coefficient alpha, coefficient omega, coefficient beta.
The problem of how to assess reliability has been with us ever since Spearman (1904) introduced the concept of correction for attenuation and that of split half reliability (Spearman, 1910). To Spearman (1904), reliability was used as a way of finding the "real correlation between the true objective values" (rpq) by correcting observed correlations (rp′q′) for the attenuation of "accidental" deviations of observed scores from their "true objective values." To Spearman (1904, p. 90), this required finding "the average correlation between one and another of these independently obtained series of values" (what has come to be called parallel tests) to estimate the reliability of each set of measures (rp′p′ , r′q′q), and then to find
Rephrasing Spearman (1904, 1910) in more current terminology (Lord & Novick, 1968; McDonald, 1999), reliability is the correlation between two parallel tests where tests are said to be parallel if for every subject, the true scores on each test are the expected scores across an infinite number of tests, and thus the same, and the error variances across subjects for each test are the same. Unfortunately, "all measurement is befuddled by error" (McNemar, 1946, p. 294).
Error may be defined as observed score−true score, and hence to be uncorrelated with true score and uncorrelated across tests. Thus, reliability is the fraction of test variance that is true score variance. However, such a definition requires finding a parallel test. For just knowing the correlation between two tests, without knowing the true scores or their variance (and if we did, we would not bother with reliability), we are faced with three knowns (two variances and one covariance), but ten unknowns (four variances and six covariances).
In this case of two tests, by defining them to be parallel with uncorrelated errors, the number of unknowns drops to three and reliability of each test may be found.With three tests, the number of assumptions may be reduced, and if the tests are tau (τ ) equivalent (each test has the same true score covariance), reliability for each of the three tests may be found.With four tests, to find the reliability of each test, we need only assume that the tests all measure the same construct (to be "congeneric"), although possibly with different true score and error score variances (Lord & Novick, 1968).
Unfortunately, with rare exceptions, we normally are faced with just one test, not two, three, or four. How then to estimate the reliability of that one test? The original solution was to estimate reliability based upon the correlation between two halves (r1) correcting for the fact they were half tests rather than full tests using a special case (n = 2) of the more general Spearman–Brown correction (Brown, 1910; Spearman, 1910)
Subsequent efforts were based on the domain sampling model in which tests are seen as being made up of items randomly sampled from a domain of items (Lord, 1955, made the distinction between "Type 1" sampling of people, "Type 2" sampling of items, and "Type 12" sampling of persons and items). The desire for an easy to use "magic bullet" based upon the domain sampling model has led to a number of solutions (e.g., the six considered by Guttman, 1945), of which one, coefficient alpha (Cronbach, 1951) is easy to compute and easy to understand. The appeal of α was perhaps that it was the average of all such random splits (Cronbach, 1951).
Even though the pages of Psychometrika have been filled over the years with critiques and cautions about coefficient α and have seen elegant solutions for more appropriate estimates, few of these suggested coefficients are used. This is partly because they are not easily available in programs for the end user nor described in a language that is accessible to many psychologists. In a statement reminiscent of Spearman's observation that "Psychologists, with scarely an exception, never seem to have become acquainted with the brilliant work being carried on since 1886 by the Galton–Pearson school" (Spearman, 1904, p. 96), Sijtsma (2008) points out that psychometrics and psychology have drifted apart as psychometrics has become more statistical and psychologists have remained psychologists.Without clear discussions of the alternatives and easily available programs to find the alternative estimates of reliability, most psychologists will continue to use α. With the advent of open source programming environments for statistics such as R (R Development Core Team, 2008), that are easy to access and straightforward to use, it is possible that the other estimates of reliability will become more commonly used.
What coefficients should we use? Sijtsma (2008) reviews a hierarchy of lower bound estimates of reliability and in agreement with Jackson and Agunwamba (1977) and Woodhouse and Jackson (1977) suggests that the glb or "greatest lower bound" (Bentler & Woodward, 1980) is, in fact, the best estimate. We believe that this is an inappropriate suggestion for at least three reasons:
Contrary to what the name implies, the glb is not the greatest lower bound estimate of reliability, but is somewhat less than another, easily calculated and understood estimate of reliability (ωtotal,ωt) of McDonald (1999). (We use the subscript on ωt to distinguish between the coefficient ω introduced by McDonald (1978), equation (9), and McDonald (1999), equation (6.20) that he also called ω and which we (Zinbarg, Revelle, & Yovel, 2005) previously relabeled ωhierarchical,ωh).
Rather than just focusing on the greatest lower bounds as estimates of a reliability of a test, we should also be concerned with the percentage of the test that measures one construct. As has been discussed previously (Revelle, 1979; McDonald, 1999; Zinbarg et al., 2005), this may be estimated by finding ωh, the general factor saturation of the test (McDonald, 1999; Zinbarg et al., 2005), or the worst split half reliability of a test (coefficient beta, β, of Revelle, 1979).
Although it is easy to estimate all of the Guttman (1945) lower bounds, as well as β, ωh, and ωt, the techniques for estimating the glb are not readily available for the end user.
1. The Ordering of Reliability Estimates
Defined as the correlation between a test and a test just like it, reliability would seem to require a second test. The traditional solution when faced with just one test is to consider the internal structure of that test. Letting reliability be the ratio of true score variance to test score variance, or alternatively, 1−the ratio of error variance to true score variance, the problem becomes one of estimating the amount of error variance in the test. That is, two tests, X, and a test just like it, X′, with covariance, Cxx′ can be represented as
and letting Vx = 1Vx1′ and CXX′ = 1CXX′1′ the correlation between the two tests will be
Although arguing that reliability was only meaningful in the case of test-retest, Guttman (1945) may be credited with introducing a series of lower bounds for reliability, each based upon the item characteristics of a single test. These six have formed the base for most of the subsequent estimates.
All of these estimates assume that the covariances between items represent true covariance, but that the variances of the items reflect an unknown sum of true and unique variance. That is, the variance of a test is simply the sum of the true covariances and the error variances:
Vx = 1Vx1′ = 1Ct1′ + 1Ve1′ = Vt +Ve
and the structure of the two tests seen in (3) becomes

Van rental requirements include being of the minimum age of 21 years, acceptable credit as well as a valid driver license are mandatory, with exception for US government employees with travel orders. Just before signing up for insurance while hiring a van, get in touch with your attorney or insurance firm to know if your plan covers van hire already or the most effective one to chose. The Van Hire in Bermersheim service has witnessed skyrocketed growth in the past few years from Airport hires, but the flow has been sustained by home and city rental market.
Most van hire companies do not offer child safety belts for free; so endeavor to take your personal with you, if your kids will probably be with you inside the van. In keeping up with technological requirements with the clients, Van Hire in Bermersheim companies now offer extra service beyond the basic van hire including GPS systems and entertainment gadgets. Van hire companies do provide cheap lease agreements for months, in case you strategy to be away for long, look at making a van lease agreement rather than renewing your weekly rental.


'Black Panther' seems unstoppable at this point. In its fifth weekend, the Marvel movie managed to stay on top, besting video game adaptation 'Tomb Raider'. Taking in $27 million this weekend, 'Black Panther' is the second fastest movie to hit the $600M mark at the domestic box office trailing just behind 'Star Wars: The Force Awakens', which achieved that honor after 12 days.
'Tomb Raider' took in $23.5M, following more closely along the lines of Angelina Jolie's second installment, 'The Cradle of Life' than the more successful first film, which still holds the honor of being the highest opening video game movie ever. Unfortunately, Alicia Vikander lacks Jolie's star power and wasn't enough to draw audiences. Also, like 'The Cradle of Life', the new 'Tomb Raider' is only falling in the middle when it comes to reaction. It only managed a "B" CinenaScore and a 70% PosTrak score. Critics were not kinder– 'Tomb Raider' ranks at 49% on Rotten Tomatoes.
The film has done better overseas. It's already made $100M on a budget of roughly $90M. $41M came from China alone. So like a lot of other action movies, 'Tomb Raider' isn't really reliant on the American audience. Reportedly, the break-even point for this movie is $275M. With the foreign market, this could make it.
The biggest surprise this weekend was the huge success of faith based "I Can Only Imagine', which like most religious movies relied heavily on grassroots marketing. It worked! This film opened at #3, topping the much higher profile 'A Wrinkle in Time' and Greg Berlanti's gay teen drama 'Love, Simon'.
Next week another bigger budget film is opening which may take the top spot from 'Black Panther'… but we'll see. 'Pacific Rim' was only a modest hit in 2013. Can its sequel, 'Pacific Rim Uprising' fare better?
Another potential hit is 'Sherlock Gnomes'. There hasn't really been a movie for little kids in a while, so this could benefit from that drought.

Allow only Australian citizens to buy residential property, naturalised citizens must wait 12 years like in Switzerland.
Limit Negative Gearing whereby investors may only deduct losses against rental income, not allowing the tax rort of offsetting losses against ordinary wage income. Treasurer Keating did this successfully 1985-87.
Housing Unaffordability is indeed in crisis. No Australian born in Melbourne or Sydney can any longer afford to buy their first home unless they earn over $100,000 or have access to family finance. That eliminates most young Australians.
The lie that housing unaffordability is a supply problem is mischievously spruiked by Liberal, Nationals, Labor and Greens. The lie needs to be called out. Canberra persists with an annual net immigration policy of around 200,000 immigrants year-on-year. That's a million every five years and they breed three times the rate of Australians. Where do the 200,000 immigrants go to live?
Where is housing unaffordability rife?
Sydney: 2017 median house price $1.1M, units $710k.
Melbourne: 2017 median house price $800k, units $460k.
Brisbane: 2017 median house price $655k, units $370k.
In Sydney, first home buyers of units require 10% minimum deposit or $70k, with a mortgage of $600k.
To afford a mortgage of $600k, you need to repay $700 a week ($36k p.a.).
To afford $36k a year, you need a permanent stable job that pays $100k p.a. to fund tax, the mortgage and the rising cost of living.
Australian Average Weekly Earnings figures in November 2016? $1160 ($60k p.a.) – so solly not enough!
Mass Immigration is driving housing unaffordability. It is only set to get worse, migrants forcing Australians woop woop.
What is Canberra doing about it? Upgrading it's Immigration Department building costing $255 million, pre-blowout.
Jobs available in Immigration. Must be foreign with foreign conscious bias.


A rhinoceros (, from Greek rhinokeros, meaning 'nose-horned', from rhinos, meaning 'nose', and keratos, meaning 'horn'), often abbreviated to rhino, is one of any five extant species of odd-toed ungulates in the family Rhinocerotidae, as well as any of the numerous extinct species. Two of the extant species are native to Africa and three to Southern Asia. Members of the rhinoceros family are some of the largest remaining megafauna, with all species able to reach or exceed one tonne in weight. They have a herbivorous diet, small brains (400–600 g) for mammals of their size, one or two horns, and a thick (1.5–5 cm) protective skin formed from layers of collagen positioned in a lattice structure. They generally eat leafy material, although their ability to ferment food in their hindgut allows them to subsist on more fibrous plant matter when necessary. Unlike other perissodactyls, the two African species of rhinoceros lack teeth at the front of their mouths, relying instead on their lips to pluck food.

892-894: An Evening Celebrating Greg Prince
These Mormon Stories episodes include our interactive Q&A with Dr. Greg Prince held at the Salt Lake City Community of Christ on March 17, 2018.
Gregory A. Prince earned his graduate degrees in dentistry (DDS) and pathology (PhD) at UCLA. He then pursued a four-decade career in pediatric infectious disease research. His love of history led him to write three books, including the award-winning David O. McKay and the Rise of Modern Mormonism. Most recently, he has published Leonard Arrington and the Writing of Mormon History. Greg also has a new book that he is working on called "Intended Actions, Unintended Consequences: The Mormon Church's responses to Homosexuality."
We hope you enjoy these episodes as we celebrate Greg's contributions to Mormon history!
Our most recent interview with Greg may be found at:
https://www.mormonstories.org/podcast/leonard-arrington/
Part 1: Greg and John discuss contemporary Mormonism, including suggested improvements
Part 2: Greg fields questions from our live audience
Part 3: To end the evening, John asks Greg some final questions about truth claims of the Mormon Church

Interesting that they consider Utchdorf "demoted" but make no mention of Eyring, who was 'demoted' from 1st to 2nd counselor.
It's only the second time in church history that this has happened. First was Clarke who was 1st counselor to two church presidents but then became 2nd when McKay called Richards as first. Note that Mckay had resented and thought incorrect that he being the senior apostle was 2nd counselor to Smith with Clarke, a junior apostle, first.
However another way to look at the Utchdorf situation is to say: well Nelson obviously is very close to Oaks, they have sat side by side for 33 odd years and were sustain together, only age made Nelson senior and hence now president. So he calls Oaks as 'a' counselor. Then, who does he call as second? Utchdorf and leave the more senior Erying in the twelve? this after Eyring was second and first counselor to Hinkley and first to Monson? No, off course not. He calls Erying as second and then there is no room for now for the carismatic Utchdorf in the first presidency.
I would suggest that this is a demotion for Utchdorf only if one of the counselors dies soon and then instead of calling Utchdorf as second counselor, Nelson calls someone else, like say Quentin L. Cook. Then yes, all the theories and suggestions made here during this conversation would be correct. If Uchtdorf is called again as second couselor, then it was only a question of no room in the first presidency because Nelson wanted his close friend and confidant Oaks there.

Hi John, Thanks for another Q and A with Greg prince, but l have to say sadly that there is so much being tied up in knots going on here with Greg and his audience and for all of us listeners. l think that there are far better places where you can go to be uplifted and councelled for good loved and appreciated, than to try to search for it in the lds church, when soo much is expected of each member and if the truth claims are not true, why pay your tithe, give so much of your time and energy, listen to the prophets, it does matter how joseph conducted himself within his marriage to emma and his so-called marital adventures do matter to us members, these are not good examples to each of us trying to make sense of it all, to hear the whole truth of what can be known is of the utmost importance and then rightly so each person can make up their own minds from then on. thanks jon, look forward to more interviews especially about the historic truth claims of the church the first vision and the book of Mormon and all lds scripture.

Beth, I agree that many people can find goodness, appreciation, happiness and love in places outside of the LDS church. However, there are also many people that find all of those things within the church, regardless of the truth claims or history. I would sincerely hope that those who choose to leave the LDS church can be respected for the choice to leave and just as importantly, those that stay are also respected for the choice to stay.

Part 3, Your question to Greg about him being a white guy "dripping" with privilidge.
Do you think that was an insulting question?
John March 29, 2018 at 8:15 am - Reply
How the Atonement deals with sin isn't something that has really mattered to Greg? Really? As an exMormon Christian, I find this utterly depressing. But not suprising, because in Mormonism, Jesus is only the mascot that is brought out on the field in the 7th inning to rally the fans. Then, he is shoved back in the dugout so the owner and manager can get back to work buying real estate.
Greg says that Joseph's ever-evolving doctrine about the nature of God expresses some sort of an upward trend? Why not a downward trend? Greg chooses to cast it in this positive light, but why? Smith could've been slipping further and further into error, but Greg sees it all as some grand spiritual journey to greater light and knowledge?
The fact remains: As Joseph Smith became more and more interested in women apart from Emma, God the Father became more and more like a man, until finally God himself has genitalia, and became God by learning to wield it properly. Mormon doctrine today is the offspring of Joseph's twisted mingling of spirituality and sexuality. We don't need to subject anybody to DNA tests. The doctrine itself is evidence of his adulterous life.
Mormonism is a sexual reproduction cult. Greg Prince would be wise to wake up and stop making excuses for his inability to get out of it.

People used to join the church—and members stayed within the church—because they were taught, and believed, the official history and narrative that the church put out. The internet has destroyed that history and narrative. The internet is where religions go to die, and the LDS church is in a death spiral that will only accelerate as time goes on.

I have read and loved both of Greg's unvarnished biographies of McKay and Arrington. I also greatly enjoyed listening to this and last week's podcasts. Greg is an intellectual giant who has contributed so much to our understanding of the modern-day church. I was with him until the very end of the last podcast episode during John's Q&A. There, Greg's reasoning and apologetics fell apart for me. His stretching to arrive at answers to each of John's questions seemed twisted and convoluted and much like the rationale of other historian apologetics such as Bushman. For me, the cumulative evidence set forth in sources, such as Grant Palmer's body of work, are compelling. Joseph may have come to believe himself a prophet and there can little doubt of his creative imagination and genius; however, taken as a whole, the actual historicity proves fatal in its foundation. Although there is much to be said about the value of community and the church's methodology of establishing community, that is a byproduct of an organization that understands the value in rule-based worthiness considerations. That same community can also be terribly destructive, as we now see among those who do not conform to the rules, such as LGBT members. Greg did not persuade me that the serious foundational flaws are something that can be overlooked by mere evolution.

Within the last week, I was speaking to a friend of mine in the Philippines. She is 39 years old. When I brought up the fact that Joseph had multiple wives, she became extremely defensive. I was told that I obviously had very little in the way of accurate information. She went on to say that Joseph was commanded to marry other women only to care for them; that all of them were widows and the commandment was that they should be gathered in one place and not left to suffer alone. I was subsequently lectured for blaming and falsely accusing brother Joseph. This isn't unusual. I have other friends in the Philippines as well as Guatemala, Ecuador, Brazil, and others. As a whole, they remind me of where American church members were in the 70's in terms of their awareness of the issues and their defensive natures.
I have another friend, also from the Philippines who is a returned missionary of 23 years of age. She's an extremely attractive woman. After having a number of conversations with her about church history, which caused her to grow increasingly angry with me, she subsequently married a man nearly 70 years old and the caption of her wedding picture read, "Without eternal marriage, there can be no exaltation." I offered no further comments but genuinely wished them both the best in my heart. About a year later (6 weeks ago), she reached out to me and told me her marriage was horrible. He married her and returned to the US a couple of weeks later and it was the biggest mistake of her life. A combination of financial and personal reasons prevented her from joining him here in the states. Many people are probably unaware that divorce in the Philippines is basically illegal. If you have thousands of dollars, you can apply for an annulment. It's a very costly and time-consuming process. This being a product and power of the Catholic church. Don't get me wrong. I hate divorce. I also hate sham marriages.
The church may contain many eternal truths. But it shouldn't contain eternal secrets that alter the choices of people under its influence. At the very least, my hope is that people come to a place where knowledge is widely available and are able to make informed decisions. Dr. Price has done that and I have immense respect for him. Grant Palmer did that and I had immense respect for him. May others gain this knowledge also.

Who else but Jon could ask those poignant questions in part 3, spot on. Let's face it Greg's mind has and will re-calculate any scenario past, present or future to achieve the desired outcome… to be a Mormon. Good for Greg! Greg can make a crooked line straight. I was in the church 40 years (went on a mission, graduated from BYU) before I knew Joseph Smith had a single plural wife. I don't think my brain works like Greg's; however, I appreciate listening to him because he gives me the road map on how to stay. It was so much easier being a naive Mormon (studying only church approved material), wish sometimes I could go back. Now I spend my days trying to figure out someway to re-calculate, just haven't found the right equation yet.
Lee I am curious if in your 40 years in the church you were aware that Brigham Young, John Taylor and hundreds of other Mormon men practiced the church's doctrine of polygamy, while not being aware of Joseph Smith's polygamy. If the answer is yes, then why was Joseph's practice of polygamy so difficult to accept if the Polygamy in the rest of the church was not?
Lee June 28, 2018 at 6:27 am - Reply
David, really good question! The answer is simply disclosure. My question to you… How is it that I was in the church for 40 years, went on a two year mission (studied every morning at 6 a.m.), had a college level BYU religion class every semester for four years and never once was taught or read church approved material on this matter? Why does the church teach that Brigham Young, John Taylor and hundreds of other Mormon men practiced the church's doctrine of polygamy but not a mention about Joseph's polygamy? It might not have been difficult to accept if I had heard it in year 1 instead of year 40.

Awesome! No one does a better job confirming that my choice to leave "the only true church" was the right choice for me and my family (worlds without end) than Dr Prince . He both confirms that all the evidence that corroborates the church is based on carefully crafted lies; he also confirms that no matter how different your beliefs are from the correlated version (e.g., he doesn't believe in a literal atonement,") the Church will not discipline you unless you somehow put them in a bad light which he carefully avoids each time he respectfully trashes the "correlates truth," as is the case when he explains his non-testimony of the "most correct" book 📚 I

Grant palmer is certainly a wonderful extremely well respected, honest, a reliable source of information, grant is and was totally sincere, loving kindly and he brought out three wonderful books, which l personally feel are deserving of a tremendously good report, l just feel that grant should be put up out there as someone whose book's, especially his first and last books should be put on the list as most important and vital honest and sincere information and news of joseph smith and the church's truth claims and the reality of all of this is essential for any one who is at all interested to be told that grant should be up there on the top of the list of brilliant and worthwhile, honest thoughtful, insightful work, putting things out there for everyone to read books, he tells it how it is, along with such authers as fawn Brodie.

I love Greg when he discusses data points.
I become angry when he addresses his personal relationship with the church and its issues. I get the feeling his way of dealing with things is a huge and dismissive, "I don't care." That feels like a slap in the face to all of us who dedicated our lives to the church on the stength of its truth claims. I didn't remain a Mormon because "it works." I didn't remain because it was a nice community. I didn't remain with the hope that I could trickle up revelation to make it better.
I remained because I believed it was the true gospel of Jesus Christ, and in my many pre-Internet years came across little information that conflicted with that claim. I loved the church, I defended the church, I sacrificed for the church, I indoctrinated my children into the church, I built my whole life on the foundation of the church–for one reason only. Its truth claims.
Those truth claims fell by the wayside once I had access to enough information to finally do my due diligence of investigating the church–something nonmembers are given the courtesy of being able to do, but I as a born-in-the-covenant was not allowed to do. If I ever gave the appearance of questioning, I could feel the heavy weight of the shunning factory gearing up for action.
The disingenuous of the church is hands down the biggest betrayal of my life. One does not easily recover from that. One does not give a pass to anyone who holds massive power over millions of people and uses it to harm and deceive so they can protect their monolithic power structure. The foibles of human nature do not cut it as an excuse. Sincerity does not cut it as an excuse. Too busy to understand the issues does not cut it as an excuse. Not when the very lives of millions of people are in your hands.
And "I don't care" does not cut it as a reason to dismiss all the issues of the church. It's an insult to those of us who did care with every fiber of our beings, only to find out we were betrayed.

I was looking forward to this podcast and came away feeling very disappointed.
It surprises me that Greg considers himself a scientist and uses terms like data points. An objective scientist, assuming that exists, would look at the whole Mormon narrative and come to the conclusion JS made it up as he went along.
It is disappointing to hear Greg say or imply the church has a problem with systemic racism, yet he doesn't have a "data points" to back up this insincere, misinformed, and disrespectful claim. Calling a person or institution a racist is a serious claim and should be defended with "data points". Because someone doesn't want to date a person of color doesn't make them a racist and I have yet to meet a Mormon who saw Mitt Romney as the "lord's anointed". Lastly, Greg suggested the church is more racist now than anytime in his lifetime. The only thing that has changed in the last 20 years is the so called millenials have become adults. Are the societal, self appointed generational saviors of the world the racist?
Least anyone misunderstand me. I'm not a fan of the Mormon Church; however, the members of the church should be given a degree of respect. It seems tolerance on Mormon Stories has limits and respect doesn't apply to those who still find value in their faith and conservative beliefs. This podcast confirmed why I stopped listening to Mormon Stories. I'm no longer a Mormon. I'm also not someone who hates those that find enjoyment in religion. Most importantly, I'm not a person that makes claims about someone/something without sufficient "data points".

I enjoyed this latest interview with Dr. Greg Prince. His insights on how change occurs in the church were helpful. I was very disappointed when John referred to him as "a privileged white male." I have listened to many of John's podcasts, and I can never recall John being so disrespectful toward a guest. Hopefully this is a one time outburst. I enjoy listening to Mormon Stories and I hope respect for others will always be upheld.

Facebook Could Die Out Like an Infectious Disease By 2017
If you view Facebook as a plague on social dynamics, you might not be far wrong. Researchers from Princeton University claim that the social network's popularity has spread like an infectious disease—but, as we slowly become immune to its charms, it will die out.
By comparing the uptake of Facebook to growth curves of epidemics, the scientists claim that—just like the bubonic plague—Facebook will gradually begin to fade away. They go further than that, too, claiming that Facebook will lose 80 percent of its peak user base within the next three years. The researchers write in a paper currently published on the arXiv servers:
"Ideas, like diseases, have been shown to spread infectiously between people before eventually dying out, and have been successfully described with epidemiological models... Ideas are spread through communicative contact between different people who share ideas with each other. Idea manifesters ultimately lose interest with the idea and no longer manifest the idea, which can be thought of as the gain of 'immunity' to the idea."
John Cannarella and Joshua Spechler, both from Princeton, modelled social networks using equations commonly used to map the spread and recovery of epidemics. They then tested them on data gathered from MySpace to check they accurately modelled boom and crash, and then applied them to Facebook. In turn, they generated the prediction that the site's user count will drop by 80 percent before 2017.
Of course, it's not clear that equations used to model epidemics will accurately predict Facebook's decline—there are so many factors in the possible success or failure of the site that such equation are always bound to simplify the problem. But with Facebook's chief financial officer David Ebersman admitting recently that the site "did see a decrease in daily users, specifically among younger teens" in the last three months, you never know.

Am I the last surviving person to never sign up for an account with Facebook? I know a plethora of people who have ditched it entirely, but I don't know another person who's never even signed up. Please tell me I'm not alone.

Heerlen goes onto the rooftops in July In the weekend of 2 and 3 July, the Heerlen Rooftop Project will be opening to the public on the now 'green' roof of the Q-Park car park in Putgraaf. To coincide with the opening, there is also a new edition of Dreaming Out Loud, Future (P)roof: a study performed in the context of the Rooftop project. https://www.schunck.nl/en/museum/architecture/organisation/news-and-stories/heerlen-goes-onto-the-rooftops-in-july https://www.schunck.nl/en/museum/architecture/organisation/news-and-stories/heerlen-goes-onto-the-rooftops-in-july/@@download/image/Screenshot+2022-05-19+at+10.57.21.png
Heerlen goes onto the rooftops in July
In the weekend of 2 and 3 July, the Heerlen Rooftop Project will be opening to the public on the now 'green' roof of the Q-Park car park in Putgraaf. To coincide with the opening, there is also a new edition of Dreaming Out Loud, Future (P)roof: a study performed in the context of the Rooftop project.
The architects collective Selvatico, one of the winners of Heerlen Rooftop Project's ideas competition (2019), completed the garden design. With this inspirational design, which goes by the name of 'The Countryside', Selvatico and SCHUNCK are aiming to provide a concrete answer to one of the most complex and pressing issues for the future: our climate!
The garden has been installed in phases by volunteers and local Heerlen residents. Necessary carpentry was carried out during the first phase, followed by planting in the following two phases. Slowly but surely, the garden has been taking shape. The rooftop garden will be opened to the public on 2 July. Activities will include a Rooftop bar, yoga sessions are planned and there is a kids programme complete with face-painting and craft activities. The roof garden will be open at weekends from midday to 8:00 p.m. from July onwards.
festive opening
The opening of the rooftop garden will take place on 30 June 2022, from 5:00 to 8:00 p.m. Accompanied by an (alcohol-free) drink and a live jazz combo, we will raise a glass to mark the start of Phase 2 of this ambitious project in the company, amongst others, of René Seijben (Expojaar Manager at IBA Parkstad) and Roel Wever (Mayor of Heerlen). This will be followed by drinks and live music.
Beforehand, at 3:00 p.m. there will be a special session in SCHUNCK for architecture professionals, with an open call from Stimuleringsfonds Creative Industrie: Bouwen vanuit de Bodem ('Building from the bottom up'), including two inspirational presentations by Peter Veenstra (LOLA Landscape Architects) and Selvatico (designers of Rooftop Heerlen).
Future (P)roof
In this exhibition, architects' collective and rooftop garden designer Selvatico will be presenting its vision on the unharnessed potential of roofs in Future (P)roof. The exhibition highlights major ecological problems, but also local, natural solutions. This will be on show in SCHUNCK Glaspaleis, level +1, from 1 July onwards (free admission).
For more information about the full programme, click here.
Attendance at the opening and/or the special session is free, but please register before Saturday 18 June by sending an email to danielle.wauben@schunck.nl.

Q: Firefox CSS spacing issues cross-os I'm having an issue with Firefox. It displays differently in Windows than on OSX. It looks to be a font spacing issue, or font size, but I can't figure it out. Both use the exact same properties.
Top Window: Mac OSX, Bottom: WinXP

Here's the basic HTML/Computed Style:

Any ideas from anyone?

A: You're most likely seeing a delta because of the font chosen.  There are only a handful of fonts that are common across Windows & Mac, some of which (Lucida Sans/Lucida Sans Unicode) which contain different kerning across those platforms.
It would be very helpful to see the CSS font information for the elements in question.
The solutions (assuming it is the kerning issue mentioned above):

*

*Choose a font that kerns better on both platforms.  Arial may work well in this case.

*Pick a narrower font and ensure that it works on both platforms.

*Make sure the design can accomodate extra width. I think you'll find that you have a problem in Windows if you have 10 items in your cart or go above $100.
You can use cufon for this, but I'm not a huge fan of it because of the licensing and printability issues.  You can license a font pretty cheaply from somebody like MyFonts.

A: If you're hoping to build the best cross-browser experience, a few CSS tweaks will make for a more forgiving layout and lessen any font rendering differences.
For example, to improve your current markup you should:

*

*Float or absolutely position <div class="topNav"> to the top, right of its parent element

*Right align all the text within topNav
This will ensure that your top navigation will always grow to the left, and not go beyond the page to the right (as pictured in the bottom Windows XP/Firefox screenshot).
After this change, the font differences will be lessened, since the layout can grown or expand gracefully while changes the cartNav won't break the layout.
While you're making these changes, you might consider combining the sub-nav icons into a CSS Sprite.
As Web Developers, we're accustomed to browser testing and rendering inconsistencies, but consider that it's highly unlikely anyone except yourself (perhaps of course a fellow developer, or client) would ever compare the way the site renders between browsers or operating systems.

A: font kerning differences between the OS's looks like.
It's VERY hackish, but if you can't use a font that's more consistent between versions, you can always hack the kerning... http://www.w3schools.com/css/pr_text_letter-spacing.asp

LOCAL BEAT
Watch Trapper Schoepp perform songs from new album 'Rangers & Valentines'
Piet Levy
The McCrary Sisters sang with Bob Dylan. Brendan Benson co-fronted the Raconteurs with Jack White.
They've been called to service by the very best, and can be choosy about their own collaborators. But they both helped Trapper Schoepp, the 25-year-old singer-songwriter from Milwaukee, who earned their time with his polished sophomore album "Rangers & Valentines."
Out Friday on Xtra Mile Recordings, the same label Frank Turner calls home, Schoepp's album blows away his assured 2011 debut "Run, Engine, Run" — quite literally. From the addition of a mighty horn section on the opening tracks, to Schoepp's vivid lyrics, sweet rasp and memorable melodies, the guest-packed album shows a step forward for the singer.
Also featured is "WTF" podcast host Marc Maron, who sings and plays lead guitar on album closer "Dream." Maron knew Schoepp's manager, Milwaukee native Ben Perlstein, and the two ran into each other at a Jewish deli in Nashville.
"Ben was like 'My dudes are making a record and want some blues guitar on it,' and (Maron) came by the next day," Schoepp said. "It was pretty wild."
As the album's producer, Benson's "attention to detail is just immaculate," Schoepp said. "For one song he surrounded me in a circle with these old acoustic guitars. He'd hand me one to pick up and I'd play it for 20 seconds until finally I played a little dusty parlor guitar that we ended up using. It's good to have someone along for the ride whose instincts you really trust."
While "Rangers" is certainly a bigger album, the songs are personal.
He wrote "Tornado Alley" after witnessing the aftermath of a catastrophic tornado in Joplin, Mo., in 2011. "Ballad of Olof Johnson" is about Schoepp's ancestor who, the story goes, survived a South Dakota winter in 1900 by living in the earth underneath his tipped-over wagon.
And the album's title and "Dream" are inspired by two mentors who died: Geo Valentine, who introduced Schoepp to artists like the Kinks and Gram Parsons; and Martin Jack Rosenblum, Schoepp's rock history professor at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee who performed under the stage name the Holy Ranger.
"It left a very large hole in my heart," Schoepp said. "I thought naming the album 'Rangers & Valentines' would be a good way to pay tribute."
You can see Schoepp perform two songs from "Rangers" exclusively for the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel at tapmilwaukee.com.
And Schoepp is playing an album release show at 8 p.m. Friday at Anodyne Roasting Coffee Company, 224 W. Bruce St. Tickets are $15 at the door and anodynecoffee.com.

Fixed-income investing often takes a backseat in our thoughts to the fast-paced stock market, with its daily action and promises of superior returns.But if you're retired—or are approaching.
Fixed income investments are subject to various other risks including changes in credit quality, market valuations, liquidity, prepayments, early redemption, corporate events, tax ramifications, and other factors. Diversification strategies do not ensure a profit and do not protect against losses in declining markets
Bonds offer Fixed Income to investors, and are relatively less risky investment category as compared to other asset classes (viz. Equity, Commodities, Alternative Investments etc).

Hey everyone, hope all your teams are having a great season.
Our team has developed a single-wheel pitching machine type particle shooter ( https://youtu.be/NrnutuhPUe4 ), and they asked if I thought it was possible to make an incremental speed control (on a single button), so they don't have to use multiple buttons for each speed setting. (with this robot, speed +/- converts to distance from the Vortex).
So basically, each time the operator presses the "A" button, the motor increments to one of those 5 states.
Then in the method, on button press, if Power = 7, Power = Power + 1, etc.
Any help or resources are really appreciated, as the kids are trying to make it to a scrimmage they were invited to next weekend in Mississippi and just need a little fine tuning.
Each time the A button is pressed, it advances to the next power. It assumes your motor is registered as "motor" in the config file.
Thanks! We'll give it a try and report back.
Thanks again, once they worked it into the existing opmode that gets the particles to the shooter it worked perfectly.
