Nevada film critics name 'Birdman' best film
The Las Vegas Film Critics Society named "Birdman" best movie of 2014.

For many years, I was a voting member of the Las Vegas Film Critics Society. Since I no longer contribute to any media outlets in Nevada, I have stopped voting with the group, but I still feel a kinship with the members, many of whom are personal friends. Because of that — and because the Las Vegas Critics always make interesting picks — I think its important for me to report on their 2014 Sierra Award winners.
This year, "Birdman" was the big movie, taking the group's best picture award and ranking No. 1 on its annual top 10.

Experience by itself teaches nothing… Without theory, experience has no meaning. Without theory, one has no questions to ask. Hence, without theory, there is no learning.
And yet I routinely hear people declare "I've been doing this for 30 years!" Experience is particular; shaped by chance causes; unique to an individual. It by itself cannot be generalized. To do that you need theory.
Theory links "what" (experience) to "how" (process). It can be tested in diverse circumstances. If it produces expected outcomes, it is useful. It can be shared and used with confidence. Theory builds understanding. Shared understanding, not shared experience, leads to individual empowerment, personal responsibility and accountability, and cooperation.
Declarations like that above are nothing more than chest-thumping meant to discourage inquiry and end debate. Instead of building faith they further mistrust. They ask obedience not understanding. They are an exercise of power and authority. Territorial. Protectionist.
It shouldn't come as a surprise that people who appeal to experience alone have no credibility with me. I view them as ignorant and hold them in the lowest possible regard.

news, local-news,
The type of cancer Alicia Rosskelly has, is not found on Google even if you know how to spell it correctly. Mucinous adenocarcinoma is a rare form of appendix cancer that affects one in 500,000 people worldwide. For nearly five years, she had annual cancer scans. After feeling like something was "not quite right", her worst fears were confirmed: the cancer was back for a second time. In 2014 Miss Rosskelly was diagnosed with mucinous adenocarcinoma, a normally slow-growing form, for the first time. She went to work with what she thought was just a normal cold and bit of pain. But, four hours later she found out her appendix had ruptured, and the cancer was found. "I had problems since I was a teenager with iron and periods. I was also sick and ended up with a hernia in my belly button. I thought it was from stressing," she said. Miss Rosskelly was just 24, and was told she wouldn't see her 30th birthday. She spent her 25th birthday in hospital and was given six months to live. "They reckon it was in there from my early teenage years," she said. "The surgeon that I had, had only seen my form of cancer once in her 30 years of being a surgeon." While her annual check-ups were normally scheduled for November, last month Miss Rosskelly had an inkling that something wasn't right. Less than six weeks later, the now 30-year-old is preparing for a minimum 10-hour surgery and months, possibly years, of recovery - for a second time. "It's a mucus pocket in my abdomen this time. If you don't deal with it it will crush all of your organs. And whatever it is, it's growing faster," she said. "From my scans in November until July it has grown pretty quickly ... which is terrifying." Miss Rosskelly said her first 10-hour surgery nearly five years ago was described as "short", despite its complexity. "They pretty much remove all your insides and while your abdominal cavity is empty, they flush a heap of chemotherapy around for two hours and then they scrape and burn disease off all of your organs," she said. "They remove what they have to. But they wont know until they're in there. Last time I lost half my bowel and I was very lucky." This time, she is preparing to possibly have her stomach and spleen removed, as well as a hysterectomy. "They will remove every organ that I can live without if it's that bad," she said. "That comes with a whole set of problems, like being on antibiotics for the rest of your life if you lose your spleen. A hysterectomy, you can't have kids. That comes with a lot of emotions as well." IN OTHER NEWS: After the surgery Miss Rosskelly will need to have a specialised chemotherapy treatment for five days, at Sydney's St George Hospital's intensive care unit. "It's like a box inserted under your ribs and a needle goes in and flushes it all through," she said. "It's so painful. It's intense, intense surgery. It's one of the most brutal in the world. There are only four surgeons in Australia that do it." Her surgeon is Professor David Morris, who started doing peritonectomy surgeries in 1995. Once, he averaged about three a year. Now, it's not uncommon for him to do four a week. "He's a wizard. And he'll fix it again," she said. While the surgery was rough enough, last time everything that could go wrong, went wrong. An infection was closer to killing Miss Rosskelly than the cancer. "I'm just hoping that there are no side effects this time and I'm in there for four weeks and then I can just come home to Tassie and recover. Last time I was in hospital for a very long time." After finally coming home from hospital, Miss Rosskelly's mother moved in - becoming her full-time carer for more than 12 months. "Life was horrible. I got a stomach bug that nearly killed me. Mum and I would spend hours in the toilet," she said. "She had to wipe my bum, she had to shower me. I was a baby all over again, but in excruciating pain. My body was not mine and I had no control over anything ... I'd just sit there and cry." Miss Rosskelly had to learn how to walk, and how to eat again. "It affected my family in a massive way. Everything was put on hold for me and then I felt guilty. I got quite suicidal because I felt like a burden to everyone because I couldn't do anything for myself. I just thought it would be easier not to exist," she said. But, she doesn't feel like that anymore. "I'm definitely going in stronger," she said. "I've got really good things put in place for afterwards, with hydrotherapy and dietitians and a really good team of people to help with the aftermath." While willing to accept help this time around, Miss Rosskelly said it was the "unfortunate knowledge" of knowing what was involved that impacted her the most. "It's different this time. I'm hopeful, but I'm aware. Last time I went in thinking that I knew what I was in for, but nothing could have prepared me for that. This time I'm not as naive," she said. "I know what could happen. But I'm not dwelling on that as of yet. I've had a few meltdowns. I'm looking at it in realistic eyes." Dealing with what she described as an "invisible illness", Miss Rosskelly said her everyday life had changed forever. "People think I'm better," she said. "It's an invisible illness. Even things like having to use disabled toilets; people look at me weird when I come out. "I'm still affected with my diet and losing half my bowel from the first time. I have iron transfusions and vitamin injections. I don't absorb things properly even if I'm eating right. I'm malnourished all the time. I feel like shit every day. I'm very grateful to be alive, but spewing that it's happening again. It has been a big struggle getting used to my normal." Among living in constant pain, Miss Rosskelly never knows what each day is going to bring - whether it's physical or mental pain, and she has to constantly know where a bathroom is. "Five years later, and I'm about to go through it all again." As a promise to herself, and to those around her, Miss Rosskelly said she would embrace everyone's support this time around. "I'm really trying to accept and not feel guilty about knowing people want to help rather than me trying to do it on my own," she said. "I have a really hard time accepting people doing nice things to me. Even just someone cooking food for me and bringing it around. "This time I've made a promise to myself that every beautiful thing that people are giving to me ... love, donations, food or cuddles. I have to promise myself that I'm deserving of it." The support was overwhelming when two of her best friends, Ryan Limb and Alec McLelland, started a GoFundMe page. So far more than $25,000 has been raised, of the $35,000 target. But in classic form, the trio - who are heavily involved in Launceston's Party in the Paddock festival - have gone back to the roots of what they know best: putting on gigs. "Basically because of our background, Leesh does all of the bookings for us at Vibestown, naturally everyone said 'well, we need to put on a gig'," Mr Limb said. "The details will come out soon, but we're looking at doing a fundraiser later this month." More than 10 bands, mainly local and possibly some from interstate, have committed to being involved. Miss Rosskelly hopes to attend, if all her appointments go well before the September surgery. The community is raising funds for four local charities as part of The Examiner's Winter Relief Appeal. Can you help? Mr Limb said they'd love to have her there so she could see everyone before going to to Sydney. "The event would be held over an afternoon and into the evening. I think it's the perfect thing to do for her before she has to go off and spend a month plus in hell. "Raising $10,000 will get us to the $35,000 target which her and her mum will need to get her through the next 12 months." Any additional funds raised will be donated, Miss Rosskelly said. "At the end of recovery, whenever that might be, I will be donating additional funds to the peritonectomy unit at the St George Hospital in Kogarah," she said. "The same staff are all there so at least that's comforting. They know what they're doing so I have confidence in them. They're incredible, and the team is amazing at what they do."

Miss Rosskelly was just 24, and was told she wouldn't see her 30th birthday. She spent her 25th birthday in hospital and was given six months to live.
"They reckon it was in there from my early teenage years," she said.
"The surgeon that I had, had only seen my form of cancer once in her 30 years of being a surgeon."
I'm very grateful to be alive, but spewing that it's happening again.
Alicia Rosskelly
While her annual check-ups were normally scheduled for November, last month Miss Rosskelly had an inkling that something wasn't right.
Less than six weeks later, the now 30-year-old is preparing for a minimum 10-hour surgery and months, possibly years, of recovery - for a second time.
"It's a mucus pocket in my abdomen this time. If you don't deal with it it will crush all of your organs. And whatever it is, it's growing faster," she said.
"From my scans in November until July it has grown pretty quickly ... which is terrifying."
Miss Rosskelly said her first 10-hour surgery nearly five years ago was described as "short", despite its complexity.
"They pretty much remove all your insides and while your abdominal cavity is empty, they flush a heap of chemotherapy around for two hours and then they scrape and burn disease off all of your organs," she said.
"They remove what they have to. But they wont know until they're in there. Last time I lost half my bowel and I was very lucky."
This time, she is preparing to possibly have her stomach and spleen removed, as well as a hysterectomy.
"They will remove every organ that I can live without if it's that bad," she said. "That comes with a whole set of problems, like being on antibiotics for the rest of your life if you lose your spleen. A hysterectomy, you can't have kids. That comes with a lot of emotions as well."

After the surgery Miss Rosskelly will need to have a specialised chemotherapy treatment for five days, at Sydney's St George Hospital's intensive care unit.
"It's like a box inserted under your ribs and a needle goes in and flushes it all through," she said.
"It's so painful. It's intense, intense surgery. It's one of the most brutal in the world. There are only four surgeons in Australia that do it."
Her surgeon is Professor David Morris, who started doing peritonectomy surgeries in 1995. Once, he averaged about three a year. Now, it's not uncommon for him to do four a week.
"He's a wizard. And he'll fix it again," she said.
While the surgery was rough enough, last time everything that could go wrong, went wrong. An infection was closer to killing Miss Rosskelly than the cancer.
"I'm just hoping that there are no side effects this time and I'm in there for four weeks and then I can just come home to Tassie and recover. Last time I was in hospital for a very long time."
After finally coming home from hospital, Miss Rosskelly's mother moved in - becoming her full-time carer for more than 12 months.
"Life was horrible. I got a stomach bug that nearly killed me. Mum and I would spend hours in the toilet," she said. "She had to wipe my bum, she had to shower me. I was a baby all over again, but in excruciating pain. My body was not mine and I had no control over anything ... I'd just sit there and cry."
Miss Rosskelly had to learn how to walk, and how to eat again.
"It affected my family in a massive way. Everything was put on hold for me and then I felt guilty. I got quite suicidal because I felt like a burden to everyone because I couldn't do anything for myself. I just thought it would be easier not to exist," she said.
But, she doesn't feel like that anymore.
"I'm definitely going in stronger," she said. "I've got really good things put in place for afterwards, with hydrotherapy and dietitians and a really good team of people to help with the aftermath."
While willing to accept help this time around, Miss Rosskelly said it was the "unfortunate knowledge" of knowing what was involved that impacted her the most.
"It's different this time. I'm hopeful, but I'm aware. Last time I went in thinking that I knew what I was in for, but nothing could have prepared me for that. This time I'm not as naive," she said.
"I know what could happen. But I'm not dwelling on that as of yet. I've had a few meltdowns. I'm looking at it in realistic eyes."
Dealing with what she described as an "invisible illness", Miss Rosskelly said her everyday life had changed forever.
"People think I'm better," she said. "It's an invisible illness. Even things like having to use disabled toilets; people look at me weird when I come out.
"I'm still affected with my diet and losing half my bowel from the first time. I have iron transfusions and vitamin injections. I don't absorb things properly even if I'm eating right. I'm malnourished all the time. I feel like shit every day. I'm very grateful to be alive, but spewing that it's happening again. It has been a big struggle getting used to my normal."
Among living in constant pain, Miss Rosskelly never knows what each day is going to bring - whether it's physical or mental pain, and she has to constantly know where a bathroom is.
"Five years later, and I'm about to go through it all again."
As a promise to herself, and to those around her, Miss Rosskelly said she would embrace everyone's support this time around.
"I'm really trying to accept and not feel guilty about knowing people want to help rather than me trying to do it on my own," she said.
"I have a really hard time accepting people doing nice things to me. Even just someone cooking food for me and bringing it around.
"This time I've made a promise to myself that every beautiful thing that people are giving to me ... love, donations, food or cuddles. I have to promise myself that I'm deserving of it."
The support was overwhelming when two of her best friends, Ryan Limb and Alec McLelland, started a GoFundMe page.
So far more than $25,000 has been raised, of the $35,000 target.
But in classic form, the trio - who are heavily involved in Launceston's Party in the Paddock festival - have gone back to the roots of what they know best: putting on gigs.
"Basically because of our background, Leesh does all of the bookings for us at Vibestown, naturally everyone said 'well, we need to put on a gig'," Mr Limb said.
"The details will come out soon, but we're looking at doing a fundraiser later this month."
More than 10 bands, mainly local and possibly some from interstate, have committed to being involved. Miss Rosskelly hopes to attend, if all her appointments go well before the September surgery.
The community is raising funds for four local charities as part of The Examiner's Winter Relief Appeal. Can you help?
Mr Limb said they'd love to have her there so she could see everyone before going to to Sydney.
"The event would be held over an afternoon and into the evening. I think it's the perfect thing to do for her before she has to go off and spend a month plus in hell.
"Raising $10,000 will get us to the $35,000 target which her and her mum will need to get her through the next 12 months."
Any additional funds raised will be donated, Miss Rosskelly said.
"At the end of recovery, whenever that might be, I will be donating additional funds to the peritonectomy unit at the St George Hospital in Kogarah," she said.
"The same staff are all there so at least that's comforting. They know what they're doing so I have confidence in them. They're incredible, and the team is amazing at what they do."

USWNT: Ali Krieger stood out during the 2020 Summer Olympics qualifier against Costa Rica
Kelsey Boeing
The U.S. women's national team took on Costa Rica on Monday as part of the Olympic qualifiers. With a new coach and an easy group, the USWNT has seen some major change-ups to the starting lineup as well as the substitutions. Most notable during the match was Ali Krieger, who was out of the game for about two years under the previous coach, Jill Ellis.
Monday's game signified the end of the first Olympic group round, and the match showed fans and other teams what to expect from the FIFA No. 1 ranking, USWNT. Here is what we learned from the USWNT's game against Costa Rica:
Julie Ertz and Tobin Heath are strongholds of the USWNT
Heath and Ertz have proved to be forces on the field with the team, even as changes occur to the starting line ups. Heath is considered a classic veteran on the USWNT, but Ertz is relatively new, getting her first major start for the 2015 World Cup. However, with so many inexperienced players coming into their first or second Olympics, these two players will be relied on to keep the team steady and level headed with sophisticated playing styles and presence on the field.
Ali Krieger can make a big difference on our back line
Despite not getting another call up for two years after the 2016 Olympics, Krieger continued to work in the National Women's Soccer League with the Orlando Pride. Now, under new leadership, Krieger is getting to show what she worked on and why she deserves a spot on the roster.
The USWNT's defense is young and relatively inexperienced with Emily Sonnett, Abby Dahlkemper and even Crystal Dunn. With experience dating back to 2008, Krieger is a calculated and calm player under pressure. She not only is a steady player to have on the back line, but she is able to find holes in the other teams' defense to slip the ball in for a goal — as seen in the game against Costa Rica with Christen Press' second goal. Krieger can add seniority to the backline that is currently only seen with Becky Sauerbrunn.
Brick wall defense is going to be challenged
Depending on whether Vlatko Andonovski decides to play Sauerbrunn, the defensive line for the USWNT will be young in terms of experience. Sonnett, Dahlkemper and Dunn will be competing in their first and second Olympics, making them the least experienced out of the defenders on the rosters.
In 2015, the back line was referred to as a brick wall but this Olympics could challenge that nickname. With the amount of inexperience on the back line and Hope Solo no longer in goal, mistakes that have already been seen in previous games could come to the forefront during the Olympic games when the USWNT faces more difficult teams.
The USWNT will face Mexico on Friday at 10 p.m. in the semi-finals of the qualifying tournament.

Q: (Paul Irish's) Infinite scrolling plugin is simply not working According the chrome's console "Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'msie' of undefined"
I mostly copied the code from the demo page so I am perplexed as to why this does not work
My HTML is formatted as follows:

         0

and the jquery (in a script tag at the bottom of the page):
$('#posts').infinitescroll({
navSelector     : "#next:last",
nextSelector    : "a#next:last",
itemSelector    : "#posts div.infoPost"
});

This is being implemented on tumblr, using jquery version 1.9.1

A: jquery.browser was removed in 1.9 Use an older version of jQuery, use the migrate plugin, or modify the infinite scrolling plugin to do an alternative check.
Edit: What version of the plugin are you using? I see no browser checks or references to msie in https://github.com/paulirish/infinite-scroll/blob/master/jquery.infinitescroll.js Are you sure you're not calling $.browser.msie in your own code?

Eva Grove's Family Gives $9 Million to Immigrant Students
(From right) Eva Kastan Grove '58 with husband Andy Grove, Hunter College Scholarship Students, and daughter Robie Spector.
"Hunter opened the doors to America for me." Those words of Eva Kastan Grove '58, who was 18 when she arrived in the United States, could easily be spoken by any of Hunter's immigrant students. And thanks to the $9 million Eva Kastan Grove Scholarship and Internship Endowment Fund, given by the Grove family to celebrate Eva's 80th birthday, Hunter can open many more doors.
Of the total, $4 million will go to Roosevelt House to establish a scholars program and support student activities and programs in public policy and human rights.
The $5 million balance will go toward scholarships and internships, with a preference to students who are immigrants, the children of immigrants, or are undocumented. Such funding can be life-changing for Dreamers, undocumented immigrants brought here as children. "Because they exist in a kind of legal limbo, the Dreamers aren't eligible for government help," says President Jennifer J. Raab, "but the Grove scholarships lend a hand that government can't."
In 1954, Eva Kastan came from Bolivia, where her family had found refuge from the Nazis. She embraced New York and her new school, graduating with a degree in pre-social work. While her husband, Andy Grove, who died in March, became CEO of the Intel Corp., Eva became a voice for people in need. "She worked for Consumers Union," says her daughter Robie Spector, a member of the Hunter College Foundation Board of Trustees. "She worked for Planned Parenthood, and she worked with reading groups."
As her mother's big birthday grew near, Spector approached her father. "I said, 'Is it possible that we could honor this place that had such an influence on her sense of community?' Hunter was part of our family narrative. For instance, Roosevelt House was their lunch place; they would eat their pumpernickel sandwiches there. It meant enough to her that I knew about it when I was a child."
One grateful Grove Scholarship beneficiary is Safia Mahjbin '20, a freshman majoring in Chinese language and philosophy and minoring in human rights who is originally from Bangladesh. "My first semester at Hunter was starting off great," she says, "but then all of a sudden my parents didn't want to pay my tuition anymore—they're very traditional and they wanted me to get married—and I was worried I would have to drop out."
Instead she moved out on her own, got a job that required her to spend eight hours on her feet, packing up to 500 box meals for delivery, and went to Hunter full-time. Then, among other awards, came the Grove scholarship, allowing her to give up her minimum-wage job. She has since moved into a Hunter dorm, and the future looks very bright. "The scholarship will take care of my tuition," she says.

Yes, I joined the pipes only to find no difference. I got under the car and the flap had been tied open with a piece of wire! im going to have a play and put it on a switch, but I'm waiting for the plugs to arrive so I can do it without cutting wires and can return it to normal if I want to.
Thanks. Had plans for a new exhaust and stuff, but really starting to love the subdued stock German V8 sound. Also loving 'an old mans car' as my colleagues call it that can take on a Porsche and give them a scare!
So torn, starting to develop a love for the German V8 after a bit more driving. If I'm changing my mind after a day, I think I need to live with her a bit more. It sounds tight and highly tuned, rather than sloppy and raw power is the only way I can describe. It's a higher note, less bassy, slightly reminiscent of an F1. Slightly.... so, if I just got these bypass pipes on the rear box, it would sound as is, unless I put my foot down? Is that right, or does it need to have a silencer delete to work? I'm liking the idea of the sound it has now, unless it's opening up and then snarling and showing it's true colours Totally loving the sleeper touring/estate that scares the crap out of anyone who tries though!
I know this gets posted all over the internet, but hoping for a bit more specific advice. I'm a tiny bit disappointed at how quiet the 550 V8 is on idle and around town. Loving the car i just want a tiny increase in bass, just a little deeper burble that I just don't think it has (unless the soundproofing is too good in cabin) i dont want want a snarling c63 copy. i went to an exhaust place and said I wanted it to look stock etc, they said they'd cut out the front muffler and add two bypass pipes to the rear box so it will increase in sound when I give it beans. im sure they know their stuff, but I'm a little scared. I just dont want to end up with a horrible sounding fake track car, just a slight release of the beautiful V8 sound and burble and maybe a volume increase foot down. Will this do it, or will it sound crap?
Just need to decide now: Badge, or de badge. There are no msport badges apart from the door sills. I'm leaning toward losing the 550 badge on the tailgate and having her just badgeless. i want to get a teeny bit more rumble, so I need to decide on stock, custom stock looking exhaust, or all out quads. I liked the latter before I drove her, but she seems too refined to make her look like she's pretending to be an M5, especially with the wheels already on. Thoughts? I'll try to get pics tomorrow, weather depending.
Apparently one of only 11 uk cars, pics to follow over the weekend.... The bad news: I had to sell my absolutely beloved Alpina D3 mono for something 'Dog friendly'. I have covered 40,000 miles per year, every year for 4 years. Sold at 203,000 miles for a good, but fair price given the condition, love and maintenance. I was also told to 'grow up' in my car choice. The good news: I now cover 6-8000 miles per year and my wife doesn't really get cars, so likes them based on pictures. The picture of a 550 M-Sport touring got the thumbs up! This one was good history, very well looked after, no leaks at all and a credit to its previous owners (one of whom I believe fitted a Quaife LSD, otherwise she is untouched) First impressions. Fuel actually not too bad compared to my 2l diesel!. I was expecting brutal V8 power, but it's a completely different animal to the Alpina. Whereas the D3 was nothing until 2500 revs, then a smack in the nuts of 302lb of torque all at once, this is very refined. No more narrow torque band to keep to and I'm not even sure if the stereo works. I just drive around looking for tunnels with the windows down. my only other auto box drive was a smart roadster and it was horrible. I love this, it's effortless and smoother than most of my changes!... I was disappointed at first, thought she was way slower than my D3, but then I looked at the dials and saw I was double the speed I thought I was and realised the level of driving licence loss risk I'm dealing with now. 2500 to 4000 revs of D3 torque feels like push you into the seat fast,. The 550 just has torque from zero to redline.. God it's quick for a huge tourer, but so so so refined. The 5 Msport is beautiful inside compared to a poverty spec 3 series (as nearly all D3s were) The 550 MSport tourer is incredible. I get as much attention from those in the know as I ever did in the Alp and oddly, I find that now there is a shedload of power under the bonnet, I don't have to try so hard. I find myself just cruising, rather than thrashing. And that startup. That V8 burble on idle.... I'm in love all over again!

Here's Charlene's Split Nine Patch finished. She wanted a simple meander, so that's sort of what I gave her. But, I wanted a bit of a difference between the light and dark side of the streak of lightening effect of her setting.So, I did the simple puzzle type meander in the light, and a loop meander in the darks. I'm happy with this one. I used varigated Rainbows blues in the top thread, and a light grey in the bobbin.
I finished a customer quilt a couple of days ago. I didn't taken a picture of it, because I wasn't happy with the way it turned out. I've been upset, and nervous, and anxious, about her reaction when she picked it up, since she is a long time customer of mine. She just picked it up and loved it. The stuff that I was obsessing over didn't bother her in the least. So, my question to myself is, what was I so upset about? When I looked at it again, when I got it out for her, it wasn't that bad. Am I too hard on myself, or was I just having a bad day when I did that quilt? Maybe I was just "hormonally deprived" that day, as I seem to be most days, LOL. I lost part of a night's sleep over the silly thing. Is it just me, being overly critical of the stuff I do? Somehow, I don't think I'm alone in this, which helps, a bit, at least. I talk to many women, in person, and here online, and we all seem to do the same thing. Why is that? Why can't we do something, and be happy with what we do, rather than looking for the mistakes, or the not quite perfect in it? So, lesson learned, take pictures, even if I'm not happy with it, because what I'm not happy with, is probably just me being hyper-critical of my own stuff, stressing out over something that needs no stress put out over it. I just discovered something else, too, that writing about it seems to help to put it in perspective. Something else I'm going to have to remember, next time, and I'm quite sure there will be a next time. Thanks for listening. DO you do the same thing?
How is it possible that it is Monday again already? Where did March go? The weather forecast for London is getting better. It should be up in the 70's by the end of the week. A great way to cure cabin fever. I should be able to get out into the garden by the end of the week. Yippee!! On my design wall is "Endless Chain", which is growing at quite a nice pace. So far, according to my rough estimate, I've used up almost 3 yards of scraps. The pile is starting to look smaller.. I had planned on working on a couple of customer quilts today, but have decided, since I worked this past weekend, to take today off and do some more work on this quilt, and do customer quilts tomorrow. How's that for a good excuse to procrastinate?
I'm a little late posting today, but I've been working on the star blocks for this BOM I'm doing. It's by Burning the Midnight Oil, which is in my blog list. I'm actually working on next month's blocks. This month's were the chain squares. But, I really like this quilt, and would like to get it into the finished category. Right now, the green in the star block is looking rather out of place, but I think it will be better when the other 3 are done. At least, I hope it will.
One of the most influential women in my life is gone. She passed away on Saturday. She was the woman who most exemplified the love of Jesus in my life, and is the person who led me to the Lord. She was my ex-mother-in-law, and, in spite of that, kept in touch with myself and my family. Of course, having my son as her grandson had something to do with it. In spite of all the family dynamics, she remained a kind and gracious lady. She never forgot an occasion to send a card, birthday's, Valentines day, Easter, Christmas. She showed me the kind of Grandmother that I want to be, when that day comes. I will miss her, until we meet again, in the Lord's kingdom. Good bye for now, Elsie.
I took the dress that I was making for myself for Rebecca's wedding out of the closet the other day, and tried it on. I had put it into the closet because I wanted to lose some more weight before finishing it. There was something about it I just wasn't happy with, so, since I have lost about 13 pounds, I decided that I would give dress shopping another try, before investing any more time into the dress I was making. So, off Becca and I went, and who would have thought those pounds would make such a big difference. It's hard to get a really good picture of it, but enough to at least get an idea. It isn't really revealing, and it certainly isn't mother-of-the-bride frumpy. I love it! the actual colour is a bit darker and bluer. In addition to finding my dress, we also found shoes and jewelry to go with it. Then, we found her hairpiece for going above her veil, and her jewelry, and then we found necklaces and earrings for gifts for the bridesmaids. Woohoo. All in all a good couple of days worth of shopping were had by mother and daughter. It was fun to spend that time with her, too. She's in her final month of school at college, and it has been a brutal year for her, with not a lot of time available for anything outside school work, so it was nice to have that time, even if she did have to steal it from school work she should have been doing. I feel a whole lot better, too, now that I know what I am wearing, and that part is done, and can be crossed off the to do list. Huge sigh of relief. And now, I'm off to get ready for work.
Well, after having the last 3 days off, it's back to work for the weekend. I managed to get a fair amount accomplished yesterday, lots of batiks cut up, and a couple of test runs done for the crazy curves. They weren't to bad to sew up. After doing wedding ring arcs, and the curves in Cactus Rose, these were pretty easy. I got 4 more blocks done for the endless chain, and 80 pieces for Kitchen sink. I think I like doing small bits of things for limited times. Maybe I have ADD and don't know it. (giggle) Somehow, it feels like I get more done that way. On a non-quilty note, the wedding invitations are all done, and after they put in the cards that say where they have registered, are ready to go in the mail. That was a huge job. We bought do it yourself kits from Michael's, and, although it was definitely a cost saving, it did take a huge chunk of time, but it was fun too. Nicole comes for her dress fitting tomorrow, so I can get it finished this week, I hope. So far, we are managing to get stuff done with enough time to spare to prevent feeling panicked. Hopefully, it can stay that way. Anyway, time to go play for awhile before going to work.
Yesterday was a day of the "blahs". I woke up with a headache, and a bad kink in my neck that wouldn't go away no matter what I did. Spent most of the day on the couch with Advil and a heating pad. I hate it when I have stuff I really want to do, but my body tells me that there is no way it is going to happen. Finally, by the evening I was feeling better, so decided to come upstairs to do something, but still had a really hard time settling down to focus on any one thing. I've been going through my new books, and have decided on a project for my bin of 2 1/2 inch strips. I managed to get all of the lights cut into the 2 1/2 inch by 3 1/2 inch rectangles, but I think I'm going to cut the darks a few strips at a time as I sew. I'm kind of regretting cutting all the lights at once into that size, no opportunity to change my mind. I also, by deciding to cut for the length of my Hillsong album, got my pile of odds and ends fabric cut down into various sizes, which topped up my 2 1/2 inch bin even more than it was. I think I'm going to do the same thing today with my large drawer of odd sized batiks. I got my "Crazy Curves" templates in the mail, so that is what I'll be doing with the batiks. I'm going to try and focus on doing a project for the length of time it takes to go through a playlist of songs on my i-tunes, and see if that will help with getting various things done. So, first task for today, cutting up, and sorting out that bin of batiks. Second, sew up some more for those 2 1/2 inch scrap blocks for the "Kitchen Sink" project. Third, do some more endless chain blocks. Then.......... oh yes, figuring out income tax. (sigh) My dear husband, Scott, actually does the income tax, but I have to figure out all my income and expenses for my quilting. That is his goal for today, so somewhere in here, I will have to do that as well. Yuck. Hmmmmm, I think I still have that case of the blahs. Time to go play, and maybe it will go away.
I've finished my block for Shannon's BOM. It's called "DogEar Star" I think it's pretty, and plays well with all the others i've done up to now. I have spent my alloted time cutting fabric up from my scraps, though there are still a lot left. I think, though, rather than starting something new, I'm going to use some self discipline, and continue to work on the Endless Chain quilt. Here's a sneak peak. The holes in the centres of the squares will eventually be covered with circles of the navy fabric.
What a beautiful day. It is warm enough for a long walk, and then a sit down with a cup of tea, and my new books, on the front porch. Pure bliss. I received 4 new books in the mail, all ordered because of quilts, or posts I've seen in blogs recently. Wanna see? So many choices, so many lovely quilts just waiting to be made. Do I need any more ideas? probably not, but it sure is fun browsing through these books for ideas to use up some of this fabric I have here. The problem is, now I confronted with over abundance of choice. Which one should I do? Which one do I like best? I don't know. Maybe I should just decide on a book, then decide on one of the quilts in it. Hmmmmm, what to do, what to do? I think the first step is going to be getting off the computer, and digging into my fabric. Then, maybe a decision will come out and hit me on the head, gently, I hope. (giggle). Right now, I'm leaning towards cutting up some of the pile of fabric on my cutting table, into 2 1/2 inch strips, and then digging into the scrap basket surprises book. To be really efficient, and also have an excuse to start something else, I'll grab my baskets of 2 1/2 inch squares and start a leaders and enders for a split nine patch. There, partial decision made, at least, and so far nothing has hit me over the head.
I got up this morning, and, as usual, checked out the various blogs I follow, as well as checking out the comments on my own. Imagine my surprise to find that the author of the Endless Chain book had commented on my post. Wow!!! It's easy to forget just how far reaching this internet thing is. It has kind of given me some incentive to take it from a work on every now and then project, to a work on more consistently project. I'm now up to having 94 of the wedges pieced up. If I allow 15 inches of approximately 2 inch fabric for each wedge, it adds up to roughly 2 yards of fabric used up. So, why doesn't that pile look any smaller? (sigh) I think the are fabric gremlins who come in the night and multiply fabric. Or, maybe rumpelstiltskin comes in and weaves straw into fabric, instead of gold. (giggle). I have a lot of a navy fabric here that I think might work for the wedges in between the wedges. I think I'll go and try it out, and will post a pic when done.
So, I tried linking up to Judy's Design wall Monday, only to mess up the address again. Then, I tried to fix the address, once I found the mistake, only to have it post to her list a second time. So, the question is, can I remove the original post so that people aren't directed to my site twice, which could be rather annoying, I would think.
On my design wall today is my continuing work on "Cactus Rose". She's to the point of hand work, so she's coming off the wall today. Replacing her, is a block of the month I'm doing from the website Burning the Midnight Oil. The link is in the blogs that I follow, if you are interested. There isn't going to be a whole lot of quilting going on in the next few days, though. Nicole, Rebecca's Maid of Honour, is coming today so that I can get her measurements, and get started on her dress.

Ole Scheeren (* 1971 in Karlsruhe) ist ein deutscher Architekt. Er lehrt als Gastprofessor an der Universität von Hongkong und war Partner von Rem Koolhaas im niederländischen Architekturbüro Office for Metropolitan Architecture (OMA) in Rotterdam. Ole Scheerens bekanntestes Bauwerk ist das China Central Television Headquarters, die neue Zentrale des staatlichen chinesischen Fernsehsenders China Central Television (CCTV) in Peking. Seit März 2010 führt er sein eigenes Architekturbüro Ole Scheeren mit Niederlassungen in Peking und Hongkong sowie seit Ende 2015 in Berlin-Moabit und Bangkok.

Leben und Werk
Ole Scheeren ist der Sohn des Architekten Dieter Scheeren, der an der Hochschule RheinMain als Professor für Architektur und Bauingenieurwesen tätig war. Bereits mit 14 Jahren arbeitete er im Büro seines Vaters mit. Er entwarf Möbel und schloss mit 21 Jahren sein erstes Architekturprojekt ab. Als Zwanzigjähriger reiste er mit dem Rucksack durch das ländliche China. Er lebte dort in armen, einfachen Verhältnissen mit den Einheimischen und verbrachte dort drei Monate vor Beginn seines Studiums. Scheeren studierte in Karlsruhe, Lausanne und London. Hier wurde er an der Architectural Association School of Architecture (AA) für seine Abschlussarbeit mit der RIBA Silver Medal ausgezeichnet.

Nach Projekterfahrungen in Deutschland, New York und London begann Ole Scheeren 1995 seine Arbeit im Office for Metropolitan Architecture OMA in Rotterdam. 2002 wurde er Partner und als Direktor des Büros verantwortlich für das gesamte Asiengeschäft. Im März 2010 verließ Scheeren OMA und machte sich selbständig.

Als Leiter von OMA Bejing war er federführend bei Design und Realisierung einiger Neubauten des Chinesischen Staatsfernsehens CCTV (China Central Television) und TVCC (Television Cultural Centre) in Peking sowie des 2016 vollendeten Maha Nakhon, eines die Stadt überragenden, 310 m hohen Turms in Bangkok, und bei The Interlace, einer großflächigen Wohnanlage in Singapur mit 1040 Apartments in 31 Gebäudeblöcken (in hexagonaler Anordnung und übereinander gestapelt).

Weitere Projekte waren die gewonnenen Wettbewerbe für das Taipei Performing Arts Centre in Taiwan und das neue Stadtzentrum von Shenzhen in China. Zuvor zeichnete Ole Scheeren unter anderem verantwortlich für die Realisierung der Prada Epicenter Flagship Stores in New York (2001) und Los Angeles (2004). Wegen seiner Hochhäuser wird er auch scherzhaft "Herr der Türme" genannt,  eine Bezeichnung, die er wie alle anderen Namen als "Etiketten" ablehnt.

2011 gewann sein Büro die Ausschreibung für ein Auktionshaus (Guardian Art Center) nahe der Verbotenen Stadt in Peking. Hinter einer betont zurückhaltenden Außenfassade, welche die Ziegelsteinstruktur der angrenzenden Hutong-Häuser aufnimmt, befinden sich unterirdische, holzgetäfelte Auktionssäle, ein Innenhof mit einer chinesischen Gartenlandschaft, eine beliebig unterteilbare Halle für Ausstellungen sowie ein Hotel in den oberen Etagen.

Neben seiner Tätigkeit als Architekt hat Scheeren Ausstellungen konzipiert wie Cities on the Move in der Londoner Hayward Gallery und ist in Sammlungen wie der des Museum of Modern Art in New York vertreten.

Scheeren lebt seit 2004 in Peking und war von 2007 bis 2012 mit der Schauspielerin Maggie Cheung liiert.

MarkWest Energy Partners Announces Expansion of Arapaho Processing Complex to Serve Natural Gas Producers in the Granite Wash
DENVER—February 23, 2011—MarkWest Energy Partners, L.P. (NYSE:MWE) today announced the construction of a third plant at its Arapaho processing complex in Western Oklahoma to serve increasing volumes of liquids-rich natural gas production from Granite Wash producers, including Newfield Exploration and LINN Energy.
Since expanding its operations in late 2008 to serve producers in the Texas panhandle, MarkWest's throughput volumes from the Granite Wash have increased to nearly 120 million cubic feet per day (MMcf/d) and are forecasted to continue increasing in 2011 and beyond. In addition, MarkWest's producer customers are focusing their drilling plans on the liquids-rich zones in the Granite Wash, which has significantly increased the percentage of rich-gas volumes that MarkWest is gathering and processing. To support this growth, MarkWest will invest additional capital to expand its rich-gas gathering and compression facilities as well as its Arapaho processing complex. Upon completion of the facility expansions in the third quarter of 2011, the processing capacity at the Arapaho complex will increase by 60 MMcf/d to a total of 220 MMcf/d. The gathering and processing expansions are supported by long-term agreements with producer customers.
"The Granite Wash is one of the fastest growing resource plays in the United States and we are excited to further expand the midstream infrastructure serving our producer customers," said Frank Semple, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of MarkWest. "MarkWest has been a premier midstream service provider in Western Oklahoma for nearly a decade and is ideally positioned to continue supporting the increasing production from the Granite Wash."
MarkWest Energy Partners, L.P. is a master limited partnership engaged in the gathering, transportation, and processing of natural gas; the transportation, fractionation, marketing, and storage of natural gas liquids; and the gathering and transportation of crude oil. MarkWest has extensive natural gas gathering, processing, and transmission operations in the southwest, Gulf Coast, and northeast regions of the United States, including the Marcellus Shale, and is the largest natural gas processor and fractionator in the Appalachian region.

Carhartt Expands Shop-in-Shops With This Booming Retailer

American Exchange Sees Growth in Value Comfort Footwear
After a bankruptcy and liquidation wiped 25 of its wholesale doors off the map, Carhartt has a new opportunity to get its durable, down-home garments in front of customers far from America's urban centers.
The heritage workwear maker is expanding its footprint with Tractor Supply, the pair announced Tuesday. The decades-long partners are broadening the shop-in-shop experience they've piloted in 10 of the rural lifestyle retailer's more than 1,900 stores over the past three years, adding 100 more this year and another 25 in 2022.
"By expanding our presence at these retail locations, Tractor Supply shoppers will experience the Carhartt brand in a whole new way," said Tony Ambroza, chief brand officer at Carhartt. "We look forward to growing our longstanding partnership with Tractor Supply as we work to bring our rugged workwear products to the country's hardest-working people."
The strengthened partnership will incorporate more of Carhartt's products into the Tractor Supply shop-in-shops. Shoppers can browse a selection of pants, jeans, fleece, rain gear, bibs and more, in men's, women, kids, plus sizes and big and tall, "most of which are not currently available in Tractor Supply stores," the retailer said.
Tractor Supply's metrics offer enticing upsides for Carhartt. Twenty percent of new customers become repeat buyers within 28 days of their first purchase, CEO Harry Lawton told investors on the company's fourth-quarter earnings call in January. And while many new shoppers flock to Tennessee-based retailer for its poultry and pet offerings, they typically "broaden their purchases across things like apparel and garden next," Lawton added, noting that Tractor Supply's net sales gained 31.3 percent in Q4 as comparable store sales climbed 27.3 percent.
Branding and signage consistent with the appearance of Carhartt's own 33 stores demarcate the shop-in-shop experience, which spanned 1,200 feet to 1,400 feet in the inaugural pilots in California, Kentucky, Michigan, New Jersey and New York.
Tractor Supply's millions of shoppers "depend on Carhartt for comfortable, durable clothes to get the job done," Seth Estep, executive vice president and chief merchandising officer for Tractor Supply, said in a statement. "By partnering with Carhartt to double our selection, our stores have even more of what makes Tractor Supply a destination for everything—workwear and otherwise—that our customers need to take care of their home, land, pets and animals."

Queen of the south season 5: Release date and Real Story as your interest
Raman Kumar
Queen of the South is a British version of the Spanish telenovela La Reina del Sur, that is based on the eponymous bestselling novel by Spanish writer Arturo Pérez-Reverte, according to the USA Network. The crime-acton play follows Teresa Mendoza, a girl who's on the run by the Mexican cartel and seeks refuge in the united states, where she assembles her medication empire.
The series, with year 4, was renewed after its premiere in June 2016. The time ended leaving a lot of queries. It's natural that when will Queen of the South season 5 release fans would like to know and what is the throw. Here.
Queen of the South Season 5 Release Date: When will it premiere?
Queen of the South year 4 expired on June 6, 2019, on the USA Network. It wrapped up on August 29, 2019, after broadcasting for 13 episodes.
Just the series was revived by the station for one more season before the finale aired. And the information wasn't surprising. It is Thursday's number 1 cable play in the P18-49, P25-54 P18-34, and demographies.
It's rather simple to speculate a launch date to the period as the series has been coming during June. And we do not find why the manufacturers would want to modify the program. Therefore, it's safe to forecast that Queen of the South year 5 will launch sometime in June 2020. And like its predecessors, it will almost certainly consist of 13 episodes.
Queen of the South Season 5 Cast: Who is in it?
Queen of the South celebrities also a native of Sinaloa, Mexico, a girl from a background and Alice Braga since the protagonist Teresa Mendoza. She assembles her medication empire and reaches the US. Justina Machado plays the partner of a transporter for its Vargas Cartel along with Brenda Parra. She seems in a character in year 4. Peter Gadiot is Camila guy, James Valdez, and a star from the year-old.
Hemky Madera celebrities like Pote Galvez an aide of Teresa and now a lieutenant of their Vargas Cartel. Alfonso Herrera (Javier Jimenez), encouraged to a series regular in the year, is a part of this Jimenez cartel and yet another ally of Teresa. David Andrews joined the cast as Judge Cecil Lafayette, among the very dangerous foes of Teresa in year 4.
Season 5 will feature the eponymous queen of the South'," Teresa Mendoza (depicted by Alice Braga). Together with the remaining cast are David Andrews, Alfonso Herrera, Peter Gadiot, and Hemky Madera.
Queen of the South Season 5 Plot: What can it be about?
Queen of the South is a series that's based following her drug-dealer of a boy who is murdered in Mexico. She begins constructing her medication empire whilst working with an ally from her previous After she reaches America. She is hell-bent on bringing the drug trafficking ring's leader because of that she had been compelled to seek refuge.
In season, we follow Teresa as her company assembles to the East Coast. However, her journey is fraught with risks with the development of foes. Following USA Network, when"familial confidence is broken, Teresa has been forced to create difficult decisions which weigh heavy on her soul"
The fourth season finishes with James telling Teresa: "They are coming to you." And we don't understand what he means by'They'. The founders have confirmed that season 5 will contain James at a role and it is going to involve the DEA and Russians. 'They' could be those players from the sport. However, it may also imply Camila (Veronica Falcón), that had been strangely absent in year 4 despite being such a powerful personality.
The enemy may also signify that the Judge, who will regroup in New Orleans with his allies. We also can't overlook Eddie (Bailey Chase, who joined the cast in season 4), together with whom Teresa had a short romantic stint but it's clear he doesn't consider being a mere pub owner. And the period will showcase a variant of Teresa, who's out and grief-stricken for blood.
