The Mayan Jaguar is indubitably the same as Xolotl, or the Nahua Lucifer. The Jaguar represents this in all of Mesoamerica. Translated to the present epoch of Christianity, this is Lucifer, which is Latin, from luci, light, and fer, faith. Light and faith are therefore the reflection of the Logos within us, here and now.
The Logos, God, rent itself asunder, and that sundered part is precisely the Nahua Xolotl, the Christian Lucifer, the Mayan Jaguar.
Therefore, those who think that Lucifer is the enemy of the Eternal One are very mistaken. And those who dogmatically illustrate him as a terrible demon—seated on a throne of ignominy and blasphemy while holding an iron trident with his right hand and dominating the world—are also mistaken.
Indeed, Xolotl-Lucifer, the Jaguar, the Tiger, represents the particular, individual Lucifer. Everyone within the very depth of his consciousness has his own Lucifer, and will see him according to the degree of purification in the elimination of their psychological aggregates. The more errors, defects, and vices we have, the more horrible and frightful will he be. Yet, the more clean and pure we are, the more radiant will he be.
Xolotl or Lucifer, the Jaguar, is nothing other than the reflection of the Logos within us, and those who dare to curse Lucifer pronounce themselves against the cosmic reflection of the Logos. They anathematize the living, manifested God in matter, and abhor the ever-incomprehensible wisdom, by declaring themselves against the contraries of light and darkness.
The shadow of Adonai is the glory of Satan, and the Lord's stool is the throne of Satan.
Countenance, resemblance, similitude, sun and shadow, day and night, the law of the contraries—two are the armies of the Logos or Demiurge Architect of the Universe: the warring hosts of Michael in the sublime expansions of heaven, and the legions of Satan in the abyss of the manifested world. Clearly, these are the unmanifested and the manifested, the virginal one and the one fallen into animal generation. Unquestionably, the shame of generation only falls upon Satan, never the Logos. When he ate the forbidden fruit, Satan lost the high, virginal state of Kumara.
The cornerstone of the Great Work is certainly impure, material, and coarse. For this intrinsic reason it receives the name "devil." However, by means of the esoteric resurrection, the Nahua Lucifer re-conquers his virginal state of Kumara.
The cornerstone of the Great Work is the Nahua Lucifer, the Mayan Jaguar. Upon this master stone—which is located within the depths of our sexual system—the great Kabir Jesus built his church.
It is necessary to comprehend that that each one of us has his own particular, individual Lucifer, which is the complete reflection of his own specific Logos.
In Mesoamerica and Mexico, the humanized tiger became a concrete reality. This is how we also find it in Teotihuacán, raising his arms in a liturgical gesture or with that feline march that characterizes it.
Therefore, Lucifer is the reflection of the Logos within us, here and now. If a tree has its shadow, why should it surprise us that the Logos has a shadow?
Lucifer is the one who gives us self-independence and the powers that divinize. Lucifer is the one who gives the sexual impulse—without this, Christification is impossible. Therefore, Lucifer serves as a ladder to descend or a ladder to ascend.
One ascends one more degree on the back of Lucifer when one defeats temptation, when one wounds his side with the lance. This is how one ascends on the back of Lucifer until one day reaching the Golgotha of the Father.
The Jaguar represents the same interior, particular, individual Lucifer that each one of us has inside.
The Tiger Knights, in addition to being warriors accustomed to hard labor, were also extraordinary athletes of Jinn science. These extraordinary beings knew how to mix the three Samyasa elements with the terrifying feline power of the Jaguar-Lucifer.
Imitating the sacred posture of the Jaguar, as when a Jaguar is resting, those illustrious Tiger Knights rested over tiger skins while being slightly slumbered; they knew how to consciously combine willpower with imagination in vibrating harmony. Thus, while in this supreme meditation and mental concentration, they deliberately, by means of their creative imagination, shape-shifted into the feline figure of the Jaguar. To stride out, to develop, to operate with that terrifying shape while in a complete ecstasy and mystical joy, was in no way something impossible for those illustrious lords.
Every time they detached from their hard, tiger skin beds, to then walk as tigers and disappear into the fourth coordinate, they uttered the ritual phrase, "We belong to each other...." Thus, just as when gunpowder is triggered in the harquebus and explodes with a great noise, likewise does the heart when embraced by divine love.
Humans know very well that in front of the threshold of the temple, those exotic, legendary, and strange tigers shape shifting back into their gentle and human figures.
Indubitably, Philip, the apostle of the great Kabir Jesus, is the holy master of the Jinn Knights. If you love Philip, you can then implore his assistance when you are slumbering.
By excluding from your mind every thought, and feeling joy in your soul for Philip's presence, utter the following ritual phrase, "To heaven, Philip." Then depart from your bedroom with a decisive and firm step, and put yourself firmly into the unknown fourth dimension.
"May the suns of enthusiasm enlighten your path.
"May the strength of the tiger keep you company.
"May the sparks of wisdom illuminate your intellect.
"May the whispering Picr be the shadow upon your retreat.
"May the emerald frogs croak and direct you along the path without repose.
"May She, Nature, be prodigal to you.
"May the universal force bless you and guide you."

SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR IMPLEMENTING AN ADDITIONAL GAME TO PLAYERS OF A LOTTERY GAME
A system and method for providing an additional or end-of-game drawing to players of a lottery game is provided. In one embodiment, unique validation codes provided on lottery tickets can be encrypted using an algorithm and used to create a record of such encrypted codes. A player then participates in the lottery and subsequently submits the validation code from the ticket to a lottery provider. The lottery provider applies the algorithm to the submitted validation code to create another encryption code for comparison with the record of encrypted codes. In the event a match is found, the player is entered into a second-chance or end of game drawing. Upon entry, the player is no longer required to maintain possession of the ticket for subsequent validation.

Applicant hereby claims priority to, and all benefits of, a previously filed U.S. provisional application No. 60/839,049, entitled "System and Method for Implementing a Second Game to Non-Winning Players of a Lottery Game," filed on Aug.21, 2006.
Lottery ticket games are sometimes discontinued because tickets awarding the top prizes in the game have been sold out even though there may exist many tickets remaining in the game for sale. For example, in most instant lottery ticket games, a set of tickets is printed with play or prize value indicia under a scratch-off coating according to a predetermined prize structure. Typically, the prize structure consists of one or more large-value or 'top' prizes, a number of lesser value prizes and a large number of tickets that are not prize winners. The prize values in a game are imaged randomly on the tickets so that, in theory, each player has an equal chance to win one of the prizes.
In certain circumstances, however, problems have arisen as a game's tickets are sold and as the top prizes are claimed. There are, for instance, certain lottery administrations in the United States that post on their web sites the remaining prizes within a game. As the game is sold, the tickets having the various prizes are cashed, including the top prizes; and the lottery will update the website with the remaining prizes within the game. In some cases, the game will still have a significant number of tickets to be sold after the top prizes are cashed. This can lead to complaints from customers that it is no longer possible to win one of the top prizes as advertised by the lottery administration in its general promotional literature.
Accordingly, an invention is desired that provides a secure means by which players who participated in a first lottery game can also participate in a subsequent lottery game using the same lottery ticket as used in the first game. The invention is particularly advantageous for lottery games that would otherwise be discontinued due to the claiming of top prizes as set forth above. However, the present invention is not limited to discontinued games and concerns more generally a lottery game that allows a secure means by which one or more additional games can be played using the same lottery ticket and a means for ensuring that a player in subsequent games had a valid ticket without necessarily requiring such player to maintain possession of such ticket for purposes of claiming a prize.
Objects and advantages of the invention will be set forth in part in the following description, or may be obvious from the description, or may be learned through practice of the invention.
In general, the present invention provides for a system that manages a secure process that will encourage player interest throughout the duration of the game and in particular will guarantee that a top prize is, in fact, available to players from the beginning of the game to the end of the game. This system can be best described as a 'second chance draw'; and although there are many examples of lottery customers using second chance draws, the invention relates to the entire process as described below.
One objective of the present invention is to provide for the computer software, files and processes that will verify that a ticket entered into a draw does, in fact, meet the criteria established and is therefore a viable entry into a second chance draw.
Another objective of the invention is to provide for the computer software and processes that will securely enable a lottery ticket player to use the internet and thus enter a particular ticket into a game's draw.
Another objective of the invention is to provide for the computer software and processes that will securely enable a lottery ticket player to enter certain player identification so that after a ticket is drawn, the player can be contacted and notified of his winnings.
Yet another object of the invention is to provide for the computer software, systems and processes that will securely warehouse the ticket identification data and the player identification data.
It is still another object of the invention is to provide for the computer software, systems and processes that will securely enable a lottery administration to host an electronic end-of-game (or second-chance) draw.
One or more of the above objectives is met by exemplary methods of the present invention as will now be set forth in summary form. In one exemplary form, the present invention includes a method for implementing a second-chance game to players of a lottery game whereby tickets are provided for the lottery game and wherein the tickets are each assigned a unique validation code. For example, the validation code may be printed upon the ticket and covered with a coating that can be removed (e.g., scratched off) by the player. The validation code may be created as a unique, alphanumeric sequence. An algorithm is applied to generate a unique, first encryption code for each ticket validation code. The first encryption code is stored in a record. Tickets are distributed for possession by players of the lottery game. The players, such as non-winning players, are then allowed to submit the unique validation codes from their respective tickets for registration with, for example, the provider of the lottery.
The algorithm is also applied to the submitted validation codes to create a second encryption code for each submitted validation code. Various algorithms may be used with the present invention. In one method, the MD5 algorithm is used. However, other suitable algorithms may be used and are within the scope of the present invention.
The second encryption codes are compared with the record of first encryption codes to determine whether a match exists. A match provides reasonable assurance that the player has in his possession a ticket that is eligible for the second chance draw. Conversely, a non-match indicates that the player does not have an eligible ticket in his possession. For the validation codes submitted by players that result in matching encryption codes, such players are registered for the second-chance game. Player registration may be configured to include the recording of various identification information provided by the player so that the player may be contacted if he or she wins the second-chance game, for example. Where the validation code submitted by the player does not result in matching encryption codes, the validation code can be rejected and registration disallowed.
Submission of validation codes and player registration may be conducted, for example, by means of providing an internet accessible website. Various additional security precautions can be applied. For example, the website can be configured to lock out a player submitting more than a predetermined number (e.g., three) of validation codes that do not result in a matching encryption code. The player may be locked out indefinitely or for a predetermined amount of time. The validation code submitted by the player may also be used to determine whether such validation code has already resulted in a registration for the second-chance game.
In another exemplary form, the present invention includes a method for implementing an end of game drawing for a player of a lottery game. A record is stored that comprises a first encryption code that is created from applying an algorithm to a unique validation code assigned to a ticket provided to the player of the game. For example, this record may be stored by the lottery for later access. Once the player has acquired the ticket, the player can submit the validation code to which the same algorithm is also applied create a second encryption code. For example, the lottery provider may allow the player to enter the validation code through a website. The second encryption code is then compared with the record to determine whether a match exists between the second encryption code and the first encryption code. If so, the player can then be registered for the end of game drawing. Advantageously, having registered, the player is no longer required to maintain a ticket. If a match does not exist between the second encryption code and the first encryption code, then the player's attempt at registration can be rejected. Several variations as previously indicated and as further described below may also be applied to this exemplary method of the present invention as well.
These and other features, aspects and advantages of the present invention will become better understood with reference to the following description and appended claims. The accompanying drawings, which are incorporated in and constitute a part of this specification, illustrate methods of the invention and, together with the description, serve to explain the principles of the invention.
A full and enabling disclosure of the present subject matter, including the best mode thereof, directed to one of ordinary skill in the art, is set forth in the specification, which makes reference to the appended figures, in which:
FIGS. 1 and 2 provide a flow chart illustration of an exemplary form of the present invention.
Reference will now be made in detail to exemplary methods of the invention, one or more examples of which are illustrated in the figures. Each example is provided by way of explanation of the invention and not meant as a limitation of the invention. For example, features illustrated or described as part of one exemplary method can be used with another method to yield still a third method. It is intended that the present invention include these and other modifications and variations.
There are at least four aspects among various exemplary methods of the present invention's solution to the problem of cashing the top prizes before all of a game's tickets are sold.
First, exemplary method of the present invention include a secure mechanism to ensure that only qualified tickets are entered into the second-chance draw. The invention allows for the creation of a "hashed" or encrypted file of ticket information that allows a player to register qualified tickets into the draw.
Second, exemplary methods of the present invention include a reliable and secure method of player registration such that ticket entries can be related to a single player and, thus, the player can be notified in the event of that player winning the draw.
Third, exemplary methods of the present invention provide a reliable and secure method of entering or registering tickets (and thus a player's contact information) into the draw.
Finally, exemplary methods of the present invention provide a reliable and secure process of conducting the electronic, second-chance draw, such that one and only one valid ticket is drawn from the population of qualified entries; and that one and only one player is deemed the winner of the second-chance draw.
FIGS. 1 and 2 provide a flow chart illustration for describing an exemplary form of the present invention. Ticket 110 represents a lottery ticket to be transferred to a lottery provider such as a state agency operating a lottery. Before being transferred to the lottery provider, several steps take place to prepare for a secure means of conducting a second chance or end of game lottery using the same ticket 110. Initially, ticket 110 is printed with various indicia such as the name of the game, price of the ticket, and/or the identity of the lottery provider. Typically, the ticket may include a bar code and/or other identification data printed onto the ticket. By way of example, a scratch-off, instant-win game is also provided on the face of the ticket.
For this exemplary method of the invention, ticket 110 also includes a unique validation code 112 specific to a particular game being conducted by or for a particular lottery provider. Generally, for purposes of security, validation code 112 is covered by a removable coating intended for removal only by a player after purchasing ticket 110. Validation 112 code may, for example, comprise a sequence of alphanumeric characters that are randomly generated. A game identifier, prize amount, or other information may be associated with this validation code 112. For example, the sequence a player might see upon removing a scratch-off coating might be "K123456789." Numerous other variations may be employed.
Once the validation codes 112 have been generated, the numbers are encrypted. For example, one method of encryption is referred to as "hashing" based on the use of a hashing algorithm 115. Exemplary algorithms commonly available that may be suitable include the MD5 or SHA-1 algorithms. Regardless, as set forth in step 100, an algorithm 115 is used to convert the unique validation code 112 of each ticket into a hashed or encrypted validation code 120 (e.g., a first encryption code). More specifically, for each ticket, an open-source algorithm is applied that accepts as in input the validation code 112 that appears on a particular ticket and converts that code to provide as an output a new, unique code referred to as the hashed validation code or hash value of the code that was input from the face of ticket 110. The algorithm 115 always returns the same hash value output 120 each time the same validation code 112 is provided as an input. Some currently known algorithms may, however, provide what is referred to as "collisions." The MD5 algorithm, for example, will provide the same hash output literally each time the same validation code is provided as an input. However, the MD5 algorithm may provide the same output for two different inputs. Nevertheless, the probability that two different input codes will "hash" to the same output is considered to be statistically insignificant. In addition, safeguards against having duplicate hashed codes in a particular game are avoided by simply examining all of the hashed numbers 120 generated for a particular game to see if any duplicates were in fact generated. For example, this inspection could be performed rapidly by a subroutine programmed into software that includes the algorithm 115.
Along with a record (e.g., electronic file) of the hashed validation codes 120, tickets 110 with unique validation numbers 112 are transferred to a lottery provider who stores the record of hashed validation numbers 130 as illustrated schematically in step 125 of FIG. 1. Where the transfer of hashed validation numbers is accomplished electronically, various methods may be used to provide for a secure transfer. For example, the transfer of an electronic file containing the hashed validation numbers may utilize a pgp file encryption process that makes use of a confidential key for accessing the file. One of skill in the art will understand, using the teachings disclosed herein, that other suitable secure transfer methods may also be utilized.
Tickets 110 are eventually provided to players by, for example, purchase at retail establishment. Typically, the player then takes part in a lottery game referred to herein as the first lottery game. The present invention is not limited to any particular type of lottery game and one of skill in the art, using the teachings disclosed herein, will recognize that numerous game types may be used. For example, multiple types of scratch-off lottery games using instant tickets could be applied with the present invention. More than one game could be applied to the same ticket as well.
Regardless, for this exemplary method of the present invention, once the player has taken part in the game available on the ticket, an additional game is made available. More specifically, should the player not win a prize in the first lottery game, according to this exemplary form of the present invention, the player may then register the validation code 112 into the lottery provider's database as shown in step 140. For example, the player may use his or her home computer 145 to access the lottery provider's website on the internet and thereby enter the unique validation code 112 from the face of the ticket 110 into the provider's system. Then, using the same algorithm 115 previously utilized to create the hashed validation codes 120 originally as in step 100, the lottery provider hashes the validation code 112 as entered by the player. The resulting hash code 135 (e.g., a second encryption code) is then compared with the previously created record of hashed codes 130 for this particular lottery game.
If the same, i.e., a matching, hashed validation code 120 (i.e., the first encryption code) is found in the record 130 previously created in step 100, the lottery provider is then assured that the player has a valid ticket 110. If a match is not found, the entry is rejected. If a match is found, but the match corresponds to a previously registered ticket, the entry is rejected. Several additional measures can be undertaken to increase the accuracy of the validation process of step 140. For example, to discourage players from attempting to enter non-authentic validation codes, the lottery provider's website can include a lock-out feature that blocks any player who attempts more than a predetermined number of times (e.g., three) to enter a validation code that is not authentic. The lock-out can be permanent or only for a predetermined time period.
At the same time the player registers ticket 110, the player can also be prompted to provide additional identifying information such as name, address, telephone number, and/or email address. By providing this information from a valid ticket 110, this exemplary method of the present invention allows the player the convenience of discarding (or perhaps losing) the actual ticket 110 once the ticket has been registered and validated by the lottery provider's website. The lottery provider can simply contact the player directly should the ticket 110 prove to be a winner in a subsequent drawing. Furthermore, the lottery provider may also catalog this information for use in advertising or contacting the player for other purposes.
Regardless, as illustrated in step 150, once the lottery provider validates the ticket by finding a matching hash number that was not previously submitted, the ticket is registered into a database or other record 155 and the player is now eligible for a lottery drawing, which may be referred to herein as a second chance drawing or end of game draw. Accordingly, the player is provided with another chance to win playing the lottery game using the same ticket 110. Furthermore, even if winners have already been announced for the first or previous lottery drawings in the lottery game and perhaps at a time before all tickets printed for the game have been sold, the lottery provider should still be able to sell remaining tickets because players still have an opportunity to win in a second chance or end of game drawing. Additionally, by controlling the content of the record or database of hashed numbers, the lottery provider can ensure that only players who did not win in the first or previous lottery are eligible for any subsequent or end of game lottery. For example, the lottery provider may allow the database of hashed numbers to be created only from tickets that did not create winners in the first lottery. Alternatively, as desired, the lottery provider may allow all players, including winners from the first lottery, to participate in a subsequent or end of game lottery. Either way, using the validated ticket entries, the lottery provider conducts a second or end of game drawing 165 as shown in step 160 to create one or more additional winners 170.
Although preferred methods of the invention have been disclosed in the foregoing specification, it is understood by those skilled in the art that many modifications and other methods of the invention will come to mind to which the invention pertains, having the benefit of the teaching presented in the foregoing description and associated drawings. Moreover, although specific terms are employed herein, they are used in a generic and descriptive sense only, and not for the purposes of limiting the described invention.

Sierra McCool is a recurring character in The Replacements. She is the popular girl at school, and Riley's arch nemesis.
Sierra is, by her own admission, mean and stuck-up. She has her own posse (Jennifer and Claudia) who follows her around and does everything she says. Sierra is the school's head cheerleader; the squad would fall apart without her.[1]
She constantly competes with Riley for the affections of Johnny Hitswell. In the second season, when Riley and Johnny become a couple, her crush on him persists, and her aim becomes to break them up so she can be Johnny's girlfriend.
Sierra often resorts to underhanded tactics to keep Riley away from Johnny. When Riley got a makeover for the fall dance, Sierra, Jennifer, and Claudia pretend to let Riley join their "cool girls' club", then they shove Riley into a fountain.[2] In "Late Night with Todd & Riley", Sierra apologizes for not inviting Riley to a pool party. Riley invites Sierra to her sleepover, where Sierra creates evidence to make it look as if Riley is cheating on Johnny. Riley catches Sierra as she's trying to escape, and she dumps a bowl of ice cream on Sierra's head.[3] Sierra finally succeeds in "Heartbreak in the City". When Johnny becomes a model, Sierra plants seeds of doubt in Riley's mind, and she convinces Riley that Johnny would dump her for another model. This results in Riley traveling to New York City to confront Johnny; there, Johnny ends up dumping her.
In "Double Trouble", Sierra creates a plan to prevent Riley and Johnny from getting back together. She convinces Riley that Johnny dumped her for a lookalike, so Riley shoves Johnny's date into the same fountain. Afterwards, Riley discovers that Sierra lied to her; the doppelganger is Johnny's cousin, not his new girlfriend. This further sours Riley and Johnny's relationship to the point where Johnny believes that Riley is "no better than Sierra."
Sierra also has another side, in which she is infatuated with a sci-fi show called Star Journeys, which Todd also likes. Sierra never told anyone else before, as her fellow cheerleaders would've made fun of her for being a geek.[1] This forges a bond between Sierra and Todd, which doesn't last long when she becomes a cheerleader again (a later episode reveals that Todd still has feelings for her[4]). In the same episode, Sierra gives a rousing speech to her teammates about how they were free to do whatever they wanted now that they were off the squad; her teammates decide to go shopping. Ironically, in "The Means Justify the Trend", Sierra is one of the girls who followed the trendsetters (first Heather Hartley, then Riley) and copied their style, even giving a speech to Riley about how it's her right to copy other people.
It is mentioned in "Irreplaceable" that she gets her own Fleemtel Phone.[5]
Sierra has light tan skin, freckles on her cheeks, long black hair in pigtails, and green eyes. She wears a light red long-sleeved frock with scarlet red patterned stripes on it, and white boots.

Two, they played last night so this will be their fourth game in six days, third game in four days and tail end of back to backs. Three, Montreal is rested, having been off since Saturday. Four, the Coyotes lost Oliver Ekman-Larsson to a lower body injury and so he'll be out. As a result of all the above, Montreal looks pretty good on paper but we're not so sure. Being off since Saturday is not beneficiary and this layoff is somewhat unique becomes waiting in the wings is a 10-day break. Furthermore, Montreal has been a serious Jekyll and Hyde team this year, which is notable because they're coming off a weak effort against Philadelphia on Saturday night. To be fair, the Habs came out strong in the first but looked like a different team (Jekyll and Hyde again) in the final two periods. Through October, November and December, Montreal's longest winning streak was three games. They recently snapped a four-game winning streak, which turns out to be their longest thus far. The Habs also have a four and a five game losing streak mixed in but mostly they have alternated between wins and losses. The Montreal Canadiens are just as likely to lose on any given day as they are to win, which makes them very appealing as a dog but very risky as a favorite. That said, this wager is more about getting behind the Coyotes.
Don't look now but Arizona is two points out of a Wild Card spot after winning in Toronto on Sunday and Ottawa last night. Yesterday's game in Ottawa looked like a trouble spot for the 'Yotes as it was sandwiched between Toronto and Montreal but they came out with just as much fire and that's significant. The "fatigued" team angle will be faded here by many in this market but we're not buying it because winning provides more than enough energy and Arizona has been saving up that energy for years. It's been a long wait for this franchise to be in a position to make the playoffs so one can only imagine the euphoria, confidence and good vibe that suddenly surrounds this team after picking up 13 out of a possible 16 points over their past eight games. Leading the way is rookie Conor Garland and if you have not seen this kid play yet, you should make plans to.
In less than six weeks since making his NHL debut, the Coyotes' 22-year-old rookie has already begun capturing the hearts of hockey fans with his hard-nosed style of play and penchant for scoring unorthodox goals. A fiery competitor, he's the type of player who doesn't need a stick to score goals. The type of player who seems to bleed as much as he sweats. The type of player whose work ethic can and does have a positive impact on his teammates. The Coyotes have been energized by this kid and now with one more game left before the break, the Coyotes can actually pull into a tie for that final Wild Card spot heading into the break. Tired? We think not, as the 'Yotes for the first time in a very, very long time cannot wait for that puck to drop in Montreal's cathedral hockey palace. Nice overlay here.


TLC Quilts – Sew … what's next?
I am proud (and relieved) to announce I have completed all my projects to earn my PHD for 2018! I completed all 12 chosen at the beginning of the challenge, and all projects I started in 2018. Whew!
I haven't kept up with the blogging, but that's been more a case of picking my priorities. 2018 has been a year of numerous and significant changes for my family. With my father's passing, my aunt's passing, and both of my sons moving out to start their lives on their own, each change introduced adjustments that needed to be digested, and along with that, unplanned tasks which needed to get done. During the last half of this year I increasingly felt further and further behind in my plan to accomplish my PHD.
While this challenge has been a fun experience (and an excellent idea, Gail!), it ended up being more stressful for me than therapeutic. In some cases I held tight to the saying that "finished is better than perfect" because of it.
But still, I'm glad I took on the challenge. I have learned a great deal from it and sincerely appreciate the experience. Thanks to my cousin, Gail for putting out this challenge!
And now – on to the eye candy!
If anyone is looking for a piecing pattern that enables great opportunity for FMQ fun without being intimidating, this pattern is a candidate. While the piecing is simple, the FMQ was a blast. I took the time to get really detailed in the corners and setting triangles.
This quilt is a pattern of my own design – or at least to the best of my knowledge. I wanted to make stars, and wanted to make flying geese and pinwheels. I couldn't find what I was looking for, sew…I made this up. I'm pleased.
I bought this fabric last Christmas and intended to make a Christmas quilt with softer colours, and little contrast. The stars actually show in the pictures better than in person – the colours are soft and subtle, exactly as I had intended. I will be making this pattern again – I really, really like it! However, the quilting on the next one will be very different. I will outline the stars @1/4″ and the rest of the quilt will be an all over, uncomplicated quilting. That will help make the stars stand out better and besides, hardly any of the quilting can be seen because of the pattern on the fabric. I hope you enjoy it!
I have, however, set my own challenge for myself in 2019. I have challenged myself to use up scraps and stash – only buying backing and background fabric where absolutely necessary. When I began quilting, I learned quickly to be cautious of the 2 pitfalls of quilting – (1) an abundance of stash and (2) a mound of scraps. And a couple weeks ago when I moved to my new sewing room (after my eldest moved out), while trying to put away my scraps and stash in my new space, I realized that I don't want to get more totes or shelves to store fabric or scraps! I want to use the fabric and scraps!
I will also plan to spend more time next year doing many, many smaller projects that I want to do but never have time to get to; things like table runners, placemats, covers for my sewing machines, etc.
This will likely be my last blog for 2018 so I wish you a very Merry Christmas – let it be happy, healthy, and safe – and to all, a good night.
Cheers all and enjoy your Sundays!
Sew Sundays – October 14, 2018 Playing Catchup!!
Hello my quilty friends. Long time no..um…blog?
I know it's been quite a while since I posted. Life took a turn in July and it's been difficult to keep on top of things. I have managed to make time for quilting although even that is reduced.
PHD #2 aka Autumn Leaves quilt is DONE. I actually finished it in August. It hasn't been gifted yet so I will save the pictures for a future post, but suffice to say the Hunter Star pattern is now one of my favourites! I simply adore how it looks and will be sure to make more of these in the future.
First, I would get practice making the feathered star; practice makes perfect.
Second, I would be able to see how different colour and value combinations change the look of the finished star.
After I made the second star, and was confident that it would compete with, not compliment, the first star and I realized my plan had to change course. Coincidentally enough, during my summer Shop Hop I happened upon a copy of Eleanor Burns' book "All Star Quilts"! I never planned to make the variety of stars in that book, but it seemed like fate was telling me something.
And then fate told me something else…you didn't buy enough fabric, silly. And nope…couldn't get more. OK, let's call on my buddy, Mr. Improv. Off to the fabric store, and many, many, MANY hours later, the flimsy is DONE! I'm rather impressed with myself. It was a great learning experience. I will make more feathered stars in the future, but best of all – now that I have an actual pattern to follow, I'll know how much fabric to buy!!
Sew…are you waiting for pictures?
I'm such a tease! Well, I'll give you one and make you wait for more…but not too long, cuz this baby is basted and ready for quilting. Whoop Whoop!
PHD #4 Delectable Mountains Quilt is DONE! "Mountain View" was just finished this week.
This labour of love tenacity was one that was taken apart and restarted. I'm happy with the results but really struggled with quilting the actual mountains. I wanted to accentuate the mountains, but in the end I wasn't successful at that goal.
PHD #6 Christmas quilt #2 is ready for quilting. Don't be too impressed at my progress…this one has been ready for quilting since January.
Pics? Nope…I gotta give you some reason to come back to my blog!
And …not on my PHD list, but part of the PHD requirements (finish what you start) is a wee quilt for someone who loves cats. I happened upon this fabric in June and couldn't resist. And then to make it even cuter, I found this cute mouse fabric to use for the backing!
"Purrfection" is ready for gifting.
I will be ready to start piecing my last PHD quilt soon. But, I can't decide on a pattern. It's a Christmas quilt, and I know I want to do stars, preferably the kind which require flying geese.
Do you have any patterns that might work, especially one which you enjoyed making? I'd love to hear from you!!
Cheers to all and I hope you Spend your Sundays Sewing!

Sew Sunday Jul 8, 2018 – Is Reverse progress still progress?
when you put it down for several months??
My cousin Gail, of Gail's Quilts, wrote a blog about why a project becomes a UFO. It's a great post so be sure to read it if you haven't already! She effectively captured a couple of (internal) conversations I've had with the "Autumn Leaves" quilt (my PHD #2), but even more apply to my PHD #4!
As of earlier this year, PHD #4 only needed to be sandwiched and quilted. Borders were on and backing was purchased.
Unfortunately, I don't have a picture of the flimsy with the borders on it. But it was the borders which were holding me back. At the time the flimsy was ready for borders, I got lazy and decided to pull something from my stash (which believe me can hardly be called a "stash"…it is EXTREMELY limited). Sew…I pulled black for a 2 1/2″ inner border and a strong yellow/gold for a wide (5 or 6") outer border. I should have known I was in trouble when I did that, because picking a backing was even more difficult. I ended up buying some discounted backing from my LQS which was a black and white graphic pattern. Seriously…my choices went from bad to worse. It was quickly turning into a quilt that I was focusing on "getting done" rather than enjoying. And I knew that if I proceeded it would turn into a quilt which I would not want to gift to anyone.
Sew, I bit the bullet and removed the black and gold borders. Yup – If I'm gonna do it, I'm gonna do it right! I will provide more updates in future posts but for now, suffice to say my shoulders are already lighter!
I took a couple pictures with my phone and thought of the intended recipient and realized – it doesn't work. It's not right for the recipient's personality.
And I couldn't be happier! It's a much better fit. It was well worth the effort.
Sew…my lesson with this experience…"Done" is not necessarily better than "perfect".
Sew…SURPRISE! Adam's new BED-SIZED quilt, called "Heros" is done!
Cheers all and I hope you enjoy your Sunday sewing!

I have to confess – I found this post in my drafts – and it was originally titled "June (seriously? It's almost June?)". Just goes to show how easily time passes when you're not watching.
Sew, June is almost over, and the merry month of May before it is also done. How the months are flying. I sure do hope summer falls on a weekend this year.
I have another finish to share. The second quilt which I added to my to-do list. This one is made as a trade with a friend who will be installing the backsplash in my new kitchen. He wanted a quilt for his new grandson, and wanted to celebrate his favourite team (Toronto Maple Leafs)…I guess he figures it's never too early to start imposing a grandfather's influence.
It's pretty hard to pick a favourite from her portfolio of videos, but I've chosen her video on the "Swirl Chain". It's a FMQ design that I'm attempting on my current project. I will share the results when I'm finished with that project.
And finally, Melva, of melvalovesscraps has been doing a series of blog posts on family members who quilt called Quilters – Through the Generations. Last week she featured my cousin, Gail (Quilting Gail). This week she has featured my story. Be sure to jump over to Melva's blog and look at all the stories.
Cheers all and enjoy your Sunday!
Oh sew much to share this week!
1. Let's start with – A finish! I finished the Jacob's Ladder quilt. It's not on my PHD list but since one of the rules to get my PHD is that any quilts started must be finished, it counts. I enjoyed this pattern. It was simple and fast and fun to do.
I don't do much marking when I'm quilting but when I do I usually use blue chalk. This time though the chalk didn't fully come out in the wash. Yikes! I'm not sure if washing it again and/or using stain remover might help. If you have experienced, and resolved, this problem I would love to know.
My cousin Gail (Quilting Gail) and her darling hubby popped in for a visit. Gail lives in BC and I'm in Ontario so its always a special treat when there is an opportunity to be able to connect in person.
She came with a hug from Ann (of Laughing Gas Quilts), so Ann, I wanted to assure you the hug delivery was received.
Difficult choice there – do I go for the one that will be a fast finish, or the one that challenges me bit and takes all my concentration? Do I pick another one that just needs some quilting, or is it time to take a break and do some piecing?
Hmmm…we will have to see – I know I won't be picking up the Christmas quilts; tis not the season (yet).
5. And lastly, I will on occasion, share some of my favourite videos. The video this week is the video that broke the barrier for me when it comes to feathers. Since watching this video I have become fearless about feathers.
I don't do bump back feathers, or traditional feathers. Mine are spineless (lol) and organic. They flow freely and I love sewing them! I feel my feathers are in some ways my signature (I guess everyone's fmq is actually) and pretty much every quilt I make has some.
Enough about me though…this is meant to give credit where its due – Thank you Quilting with Jeanne. Let me know your thoughts on this video lesson.
It's been a long time since my last post – a whole month in fact! As I mentioned in my last post I've been busy with renos in my kitchen. I honestly did not realize how disruptive it would be, and not necessarily from a physical perspective (using temporary tables and cutting boards as counters, spreading the contents of my kitchen across multiple rooms – go to the living room for a knife, go to the dining room for potatoes, etc.). It was draining from a psychological perspective – my mind would not stop running, and my body seemed to keep pace. But now the majority of the turmoil is done.
I'm still missing the glass doors on the new section of cupboards, the backsplash will be a while yet, and I need to change the wall colour but, as I said, the majority of the turmoil is done., and now my sons and I can get back to the basics as far as meal prep and such.
I'll do a separate blog post on this soon.
However, as we started talking more, he shared some pictures of the work he did in his own kitchen – completely tearing it down and starting from scratch. When he got to the pictures of the tiling / backsplash he did, a light bulb came on! Sew…I made a deal…He will be installing my backsplash, and I'm making the quilt he asked for. Fair deal, in my opinion! I have the flimsy done and am ready to sandwich that quilt. I'll post pictures when it's completed.
In the midst of all this chaos, I actually have been able to get some of my other quilting work done. I finished one quilt off my PHD list. (In case you're counting, that's 1 PHD, 1 quilt start to finish, and 1 flimsy since Apr 21).
PHD #1 – The infamous Dresden quilt. Done. In my April 21 post I mentioned that I wasn't happy with the quilting I did in the centre block. But, now that I've been able to step away from it, I like it. It is still not what I had intended, and I was looking forward to stretching myself with the plan I had for that block (I mean, how often do you get the chance to quilt a 22″ square blank canvas?), but I'm ok with the results.
Cheers all and enjoy your Sunday Holiday Monday!
It's been a busy week and I haven't had much time in my sewing room…when I have had time I've simply been too exhausted to sew because I'm in the midst of a kitchen reno. Between that and the blog hop, my week "vacation (from work)" has been filled every minute.
Still, I did get a bit of time to work on the Dresden Quilt – to see more about that quilt click here.
Things started as planned – I did an outline of the dresden a curved arch inside them. Looking Good!!
But then, I came to the centre block…ye ol' troublemaker!!
My lesson for the week – don't rush to get something finished – especially if you are tired. I had planned to do something spectacular with the centre block, but in my rush I forgot what it was and did something else. It's not that it's a bit off or not precisely what I had intended — it's waaaaay off what I had planned and I'm extremely not happy with the results. I've spent a considerable amount of time oscillating between ripping it out and leaving it. In the end I'm going to leave it not because "a finished quilt is better than a perfect quilt", but more because I'm worried about damaging the fabric. I will post pictures when the FMQ is done so you will see what I'm talking about.
I need to keep this week's blog short – I'm sure you will have enough to read come Monday and the start of week 2 of the Blog Hop! Comments I received from the hop were very helpful and there were even some suggestions/requests for future posts. Sew at some point, I will start organizing my thoughts for future posts.

Hamon Cooling System (Tianjin)
Co., Ltd.
2x660 MW Supercritical Air-cooling Units for Phase II Project of Tashan Pithead Power Plant
Datong, Shanxi, China
Innovation in Structures
User Project Profiles
This CNY 263.78 million project required Hamon Cooling System (Tianjin) Co., Ltd. to design a steel air-cooling island for a 2x660 megawatt power plant located in Datong, Shanxi, China. The goal was to establish a complete calculation model of the steel structure, which would reflect the stress of the component structures and calculate internal forces of all support bars. Optimizing on a unified model would also allow designers to accurately assess the previously calculated design of complex and existing structures—such as octagonal beams and pipe bundles, further improving the safety and reliability of the air-cooling island.
Hamon's mechanical ventilation direct air-cooled condenser (ACC) scheme was adopted for this project. The units had an irregular layout of 56 cooling modules, 56 motors and fans, 672 pipe bundles, and numerous gear boxes, motors, and pipelines. The ACC platform was supported by huge truss systems consisting of more than 12,000 bars. STAAD's powerful calculation capabilities were used to analyze the internal force distribution of the steel structures.
Information sharing and collaborative design allowed for a seamless transition from design to detailed design. STAAD reduced the time for computation from four weeks to one week, and the time for modeling from more than 550 man-hours to just 400-man-hours The accuracy of the STAAD calculation model not only ensured safer, more reliable structures but also enabled the design team to reduce steel usage to 3,800 tons from 4,300 tons, saving more than CNY 3.7 million.
The large-scale, complex project was analyzed and designed based on a unified design model. The STAAD model was used to solve complex problems associated with the steel structure of the air-cooling island. Load calculations were complicated by the extensive use of temporary supports for the cooling system components, which were incorporated in load conditions to ensure the safety of the constructors. The STAAD model was also easily modified and updated, which saved time and reduced errors.
This project was Phase II of Datong Coal Mine Group's Tashan Pithead Power Plant project, financed and constructed by Tongmei Datang Tashan Power Generation Co., Ltd., in cooperation with Yulin Village, Kouquan Township, and Nanjiao District, Datong, Shanzi.
STAAD reduced the time for computation from four weeks to one week, and the time for modeling from 550 man-hours to 400 man-hours.
The optimized model enabled the design team to reduce steel usage to 3,800 tons from 4,300 tons, saving more than CNY 3.7 million.
"The Bentley solution solved the unprecedented challenges faced by Hamon in the air-cooling project. Introducing Bentley technology saved 150 man-hours during the design of steel structures, and also saved 500 tons of materials quantity for steel structures, which represented millions in savings for Hamon."
Yang Xiaobing Chief Engineer Hamon Cooling System (Tianjin) Co., Ltd.


While people do come to us for eftpos and Visa gift cards, increasingly, people come to us for solutions to problems.
There is — at the time of writing — no method of sending chocolates via email. If you want to send chocolates, you rely on the postal service. Don't think we're calling the postal service unreliable. We're not even saying it's slow. We're just saying it's not instant.
When you need an instant reward, prize, or gift that people even prefer over chocolate, our solution is instant.
Virtual Visa gift cards. They're Visa gift cards — preloaded and ready to be spent.
They are sent straight to the recipients' inboxes. From there, recipients can spend them using the card details and secure codes delivered to them. Their digital nature makes them easy to use for online purchases — and that includes online bill payments.
Running competitions can help you achieve a range of business objectives — improved sales, improved brand awareness, growing a database… It all depends on how you swing it. So, picture yourself as a modern-day Willy Wonka.
If you're Willy Wonka and you want to sell more chocolate, you run a competition. Buy a Wonka chocolate bar, and you could find yourself a Golden Ticket. People will go out of their way to choose your chocolates because they know that they could be in the running for the prizes. So, there are 5 Golden Tickets, but those Golden Tickets get you something better than a factory tour with a confectionary wizard. They are $5000 Virtual Visa cards.
Maybe you're also going to give away some smaller prizes, too: a few $100s, maybe some $50s.
In the chocolate bar packaging, you can print a code. Hell, if you've got some form of non-toxic, neutral-tasting ink, you can even print it right onto the chocolate (and pray they don't melt). The consumers then go to an online portal and enter that code. If it's one of the cash prizes… They're instantly sent that virtual Visa. No waiting around, no postage costs.
The (chocolate) icing on the cake.
If you are Wonka, you might want to send a lifetime supply of free chocolate bars on top of those digital Visa cards. Working with us, we can manage whatever you want to send out — we have an in-house distribution facility. So if you wanted to send chocolates (even a lifetime supply sent in monthly increments), we can very easily manage that — all in-house and local.
So with a track record in both direct mail and email direct marketing, we've got the capability to run campaigns that make you look good. And you also know that the very moment that you can send chocolate via email, we'll be on board.
Ok, away from chocolate. Back to cards.
Virtual Visas are, as we said at the beginning, star problem solvers.
I left it too late: last-minute gifts and rewards for staff and valued customers.
So — without intending to sound terribly blunt — what's your problem? We'll find a solution that works to kick your goals.

Did You Know Robin Thicke Produced These Songs in the 90's Before He was a Star?
Featured Producer Top 10
YKIGS	Posted on October 20, 2015
Years before Robin Thicke would go on to become one of the most successful r&b artists in the 2000's, he was actually producing and writing behind the scenes for many artists in the 90's. The fact that most of the songs he worked on did not become major hits probably has a lot to do with the fact that these aren't often talked about. It is interesting to see not only how connected he was in the industry prior to breaking through on his own, but also how many years he was grinding before he made it. He made his first appearance at the age of 17 in 1994 working with Brandy, but we didn't get to see him as an artist until the obscure single "When I Get You Alone" in 2003. Then, it wasn't until signing with Pharrell's Star Trak label where he released "Wanna Love You Girl" and "Lost Without U" that really made him a star. Even this was many years before "Blurred Lines" was created. The purpose of this article is to show the deep rooted talents of Robin Thicke that go years beyond what we've seen of him in the spotlight.

Jordan Knight – Give it to You (1999)
Robin Thicke produced and co-wrote New Kid's on the Block member Jordan Knight's single "Give it to You".
Mya – Takin Me Over featuring Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes (2000)
Thicke contributed three songs to Mya's sophomore album "Fear of Flying", including production on "Takin Me Over", "Now or Never" and "Man in my Life".
Pink – Let Me Let You Know (2000)
On Pink's debut album "Can't Take Me Home" when she still had an r&b feel, Thicke co-wrote the song "Let Me Let You Know".

White County sheriff's deputies pulled the body of missing Monticello man Daniel Lipps from Lake Shafer on Tuesday morning.
MONTICELLO, Ind. — White County sheriff's deputies pulled the body of missing Monticello man Daniel Lipps from Lake Shafer on Tuesday morning.
About 9 a.m., a fisherman found Lipps' body floating in the water near the Tall Timbers Marina at the Big Monon Bay, where the Big Monon Creek and the Tippecanoe River merge.
Lipps was one of two people found unresponsive early March 23 inside a home on Boxman Place near White County Road 500 North. Lipps apparently became conscious after police arrived and ran away, according to an earlier news release.
He had not been seen until Tuesday.
White County Coroner Tony Diebel identified the body as Lipps, according to a news release from White County Sheriff Patrick Shafer, who noted that an autopsy to determine cause of death has been scheduled.

Has your work life become so busy that you cannot take your eyes off your work bench? Has going out to buy something from a neighborhood shop become so difficult?
There is always a solution to this busy schedule – the Internet which is just a click away! Sieving through various websites for buying clothes and accessories has become something as regular as day-to-day chores. A large variety of electronic goods are also available online in a spectrum of choices.
A new entry in this online world is the food. When things are already just a button-click away then why not choose the same for your bakery items as well. There are a huge number of online bakeries on the list that you have so many options to choose from. Now you are absolutely free from the hassles of finding a good bakery, going all the way up to the shop to order your stuff and collecting your order when it is ready.
Online bakeries provide you with various options on the menu which generally the bakery on your street doesn't provide. The cakes are made fresh & delivered to your doorstep straight from the oven within a few minutes of waiting. You can't really get such scrumptious and mouthwatering cake in the least time frame like the ones from an online bakery.
The traditional bakeries generally just give you a limited option of flavors and shapes. You have to settle for the general round or square cakes. The online bakeries give you a variety of shapes and sizes as well. You can just think of any combination of flavors or just any bizarre shape and all your ideas will be converted to cake in just a few minutes. Life can't be much easier than this.
