Welcome to the Back-To-School Blog Hop! I chose to talk about fusible products for appliqué since that is predominately how I create these days, and I want to share with you some things I have learned that helped set me on my current fusible appliqué path. (If you'd like to see some of my work, head over to the My Quilts gallery page, where the first eight pieces you'll see all use fusible appliqué.) Maybe you'll be infused with a new-found enfusiasm for fusing!
Part of what makes fusible products so confusing is that there are so many different ones and everybody has an opinion about which one is the best. In reality, there is no one best fusible product. They all have slight differences, and what works best for you will depend on your particular preferences. Since most of my appliqué pieces are meant to hang on a wall, I am not as concerned about the feel of the fabric after fusing as I am about the ease of transferring and cutting out my design. Others want the softest fusible possible for use in quilts that need to be comfy and not stiff. But how do you know what you are going to get when you see the profusion of fusible products out there?
Double paper-backed include the Steam-a-Seam 2 products (regular and Lite). With these, you draw or trace on the gridded paper, then remove the other paper, revealing fusible that has a sticky surface. Rather than ironing down at this point, you use pressure to stick the fusible and backing to the wrong side of the fabric. You then cut out your shape, remove the backing, and iron to the background fabric. Many people love these for the ability to make things stick together before the final ironing. Personally, I dislike it because it doesn't stick well enough when cutting and two papers to trace through gets bulky.
Free-love (or non-paper-backed) fusibles are rarer and the most commonly used and known is Mistyfuse. With no backing, you have to have some other way of getting your design transferred and one way I have seen is by using parchment paper. (See below for a few details on how to use this.) Mistyfuse is by far the softest, both before and after washing, of every fusible product I have used, so if that is important to you this will give you the best results.
Although you can often trace designs onto fusible backing without illuminating it from behind, light will help a lot and your poor tired eyes will eventually thank you. The cheapest and most easily obtainable light box is of course a nice big window. You can tape your design to the window, hold your fusible on top of it (fusible backings tend to not like tape very much) and trace your design. I can tell you from experience that unless you have very good upper body strength, this gets tiring and even painful after a while. The newest models of light boxes are actually thin tablets with an LED light inside and can be adjusted for brightness. You can use these at a table or even on your lap as they don't get hot.
With the exception of Pellon EZ Steam and Mistyfuse, you will be tracing your designs onto the paper backing of a fusible and these papers are treated so that they will easily peel away after ironing. This means they don't take ink very well—ink tends to just bead up and smear away. Pencil works beautifully, however a standard number two pencil will lose its sharpness pretty quickly and you'll find your line getting thicker and thicker as you draw. A mechanical pencil keeps a nice thin line no matter how big your piece and you don't have to stop to sharpen again and again.
In the case of a product like Mistyfuse, which has no paper backing, you may need to draw your design onto something that can be peeled away later, and parchment paper is perfect for this. Parchment paper is treated with silicone, which is why food doesn't stick to it. If you place your Mistyfuse on the wrong side of your fabric, lay a piece of parchment over the Mistyfuse and iron, the Mistyfuse will adhere to the fabric and the parchment will stick to the Mistyfuse until (after cooling) you are ready to peel it off. Parchment paper is not the same as wax paper or butcher paper or freezer paper—only parchment paper will work in this application.
As with so many things, this is subjective, but it's worth finding the one that works best for you. Appliqué shapes that are somewhat detailed may be easier to cut out with smaller scissors rather than your big ol' fabric shears, but go too small and your hands will cramp. The small Fiskars on the right are what I use most often because the blades are thin, pointy, and sharp, but they do make my hands hurt after a while. The spring-loaded Fiskars on the left are much easier on my hands, but though the blades are relatively small, they are not as thin and pointy as the others. The Tim Holtz blades in the center have big handle grips, very pointy blades, and are slightly serrated, which some people like (I prefer a smooth blade).
I find that the paper backings on some fusibles peel away easier a day or two after ironing and cutting. If I need to peel it off sooner, or if I just have one that's being stubborn, I score the paper with the point of a pin. I can then peel away from the scoring line rather than the edge of the appliqué piece (which also saves my edge from fraying). Straight pins are much better for this than the point of a pair of scissors or a seam ripper, which could tear your fabric.

Close your eyes and picture this: your favorite flower. Where is the flower growing? What color is the flower?
Now picture this: a weed. Where is the weed growing? What does the weed look like?
I bet your picture for the flower was different from the picture of the weed, and that's to be expected. They are two different types of plants. In the same way, there are two different types of people.
People who grow up with little difficulty or struggle are like the flowers. They are well-watered, have good soil and are pretty and fragile because they can be. Life hasn't toughened them up yet.
Then there are the weeds, like me. The weeds are the ones who have faced hardship for a while and don't have the good soil. Unlike flowers, us weeds are stubborn because we've had to grow where we land and take what we can because that's how we have learned to live.
The weeds are not as colorful as the flowers, nor as pretty to look at, but they are still plants, same as the flowers. In my case, I am a weed because I had some health issues and have had to claw and fight my way to a diagnosis.
To many doctors, I am the weed that keeps growing after they continue to pluck it, stubborn and unrelenting. But that's how weeds have to be, lest gardeners (or in this case doctors) pluck them out with little thought because they make the garden less beautiful.
Well, us weeds do not make the garden less beautiful. We add diversity, and if you look hard enough, you may be able to learn something from us. After all, I just wrote a whole article based on weeds, and I'm proud to be one!
I am a teenager living with two chronic health conditions, OCD, anxiety, and depression. I want to be a voice and an advocate not only for myself, but for others who might not have the opportunity to have their voice heard.

On Pi Day, a fellow blogger shared Vi Hart's "Pi Is (still) Wrong" video. It had been a while since I'd swung by Ms. Hart's blog, so I did so last night. I was pleased to discover her story about Wind and Mr. Ug. I think it would be great to gather the childrens 'round and watch it. Sure, it's 7:15 long... but well worth it.
In just over 7 minutes, Ms. Hart gives a fantastic example of story-based math education. What's more, you get to experience the thrill of "getting it" as the story unfolds. So many of my high school math classes involved the painful process of me trying to catch up with the idea. "What are the factors of 2x2 - 5x + 9? To solve this, first you need to..."
As Wind goes about her day, I began to smile. I knew what was coming. And that made me feel smart! Math made sense. What's more, there's a reason to figure the problem out. As Dr. Sax points out in Why Gender Matters: Boys are sometimes happy to just tackle the numbers, but girls get far more excited about math when they see examples of it in nature. We tend to enjoy learning more if we see there's a connection between life and the subject at hand. So what is math?
Without looking up a formal definition, how about: Mathematics is the study of how values, matter and energy fit together, often notated by abstract symbols. That's why topics like color, money, shapes, speed, cooking and music are so easily mixed in with addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.
This is also why math can become so unbelievably understandable when we use real life to demonstrate a concept. ...as we do in MathTacular.
When we are able to pull math out of the world of equations and numbers and reconnect it with values and matter and energy, math makes sense. What's more, the numbers and equations become a means of playing with what we've learned. And that is cool.

A group of researchers and scholars gathered Wednesday to discuss the role of Asian Americans in history and a current project dedicated to narratives from Asian Americans living in the Midwest.
"Performing History," is the result of a research project led by University of Wisconsin professor Timothy Yu, UW senior lecturer Victor Jew, UW theatre professor David Furumoto, and Northwestern University associate professor Ji-Yeon Yuh. The Asian-American studies expert team spent the past two years collecting oral histories, which culminated in a performance reading of accumulated stories, a workshop on migration, and tonight's open conversation.
The project's main focus was battling the "California-centric story," which reinforces the idea of Asian Americans normally only residing on the west coast. This, in addition to the media's portrayal of small-town white families comprising the heart of America, causes midwestern Asian Americans to feel ostracized, critically-acclaimed author and panel member Bich Minh Nguyen said.
Nguyen reflected on the feeling of growing up as a Vietnamese immigrant in a predominantly white area of the U.S. and feeling as though her experiences were invalid because she did not live on a coast.
Panel member and Ph.D. candidate at Northwestern University Patricia Nguyen grew up with oral histories embedded in her life since her dad often shared war stories.
In her interviews with Midwestern Asian Americans, Patricia Nguyen successfully collected similar personal accounts by using art and food to build cultural bridges and facilitate conversation. She said some of the best stories she heard came from barbecues, where people were able to relax and fraternize with one another.
Aside from the connective powers of food, the panelists agreed "Performing History" is a significant, unique method of Asian American representation and acknowledgment of past hardships.


Bank of Montreal (BMO), Canada's fourth-largest bank, offers 13 different credit cards with a wide range of benefits. Whether your financial priorities are earning cash back, saving points towards travel or a low interest rate, it's easy to find a card that's suited to your personal needs and spending habits.
The BMO World Elite MasterCard is one of the best credit cards for travel in Canada. You'll earn three points per dollar on travel, restaurant and entertainment-related purchases and two points on everything else, which can be redeemed to cover the cost of a flight (on any airline) for your next trip. You can even use your points to cover the cost of flight taxes and surcharges. When booking your flights, you'll also be able to take advantage of the fact that there are no black out dates.
The BMO World Elite MasterCard also provides an excellent range of travel and medical insurance coverage, with no limit on trips per year, as well as $65,000 in rental car insurance (damage and theft) that can help keep you covered during road trips. Cardholders also gain airport lounge access benefits thanks to a free membership to Mastercard Airport Experiences, which opens up the door to over 800 airport lounges across the globe.
The icing on the cake: the card's stacked welcome bonus, which includes 35,000 points ($250 value) that is automatically added to your account when you spend $3,000 in your first 3 months and a first year annual fee waiver.
The BMO CashBack World Elite MasterCard is a straight-forward cash back credit card that offers a flat 1.5% rebate on all your everyday purchases. An ideal choice for cardholders who want to earn an even spread of rewards and whose high-spend purchases don't necessarily fall in line with the usual credit card bonus categories (like groceries and gas), the BMO CashBack World Elite also features a lucrative welcome bonus of 5% back on all purchases for new cardholders in their first 3 months (up to $200).
While this card does have an annual fee of $120, it also offers premium perks that include free Roadside Assistance and a number of other benefits usually reserved for travel cardholders, such as a complimentary membership to MasterCard Airport Experiences lounges and travel medical coverage.
The BMO CashBack MasterCard is a great option if you're looking for a cash back credit card with no annual fee. You can expect to receive 1% back on all purchases with no limitations. For a limited time, you'll also have the opportunity to earn over quadruple the cash back during the first three months and earn 5% cash back on all purchases – a hefty welcome offer for a no fee credit card.
An additional perk is that you can save up to 25% on your next car rental when renting through National Car Rental or Alamo Rent A Car as well as the 1.99% introductory rate on balance transfers for the first 9 months.
If you're in search of a no fee card but prefer earning points that you can put towards flight tickets over cash back, the BMO Rewards MasterCard is worth your consideration. The card offers 1 BMO Rewards point for every $1 you spend. Not to mention, you'll receive a 20,000 points welcome bonus (approximately $140 value) to help you fast-track and save on your travel plans. Plus, with access to the BMO Rewards Centre, you'll have the flexibility to book flights on any airline without having to worry about seat restrictions or black out dates.
If you're looking for a low-interest credit card, you may want to consider the BMO Preferred Rate MasterCard. It carries an interest rate of 12.99% and has a minimal $20 annual fee. If you tend to carry a balance month to month, this $20 fee could actually save you money because you'll have lower monthly interest payments compared to the payments you'd make with other cards with higher rates.
You'll also receive coverage for zero liability, plus extended warranty and purchase protection. This is a great option if you're looking for a low-interest rate credit card with a low annual fee. An additional perk of this card is the 3.99% promotional rate on transferred balances for the first 9 months. While not necessarily the lowest promotional rate on balance transfers, the rate will only increase to 12.99% after the promotional period ends and not 22.9% like most of the other cards on this list.

Q: IE textbox loses focus after DOM modification I have a search box(normal text box) that changes a HTML Table after each keypress.
On Chrome works well but on IE the input box loses focus whenever the html table changes.
I tried to set focus back by using the focus() method but that makes the cursor to go to the beggining of the textbox, and I don´t want to put the cursor to the end of the word in the textbox, I wanted or to prevent the lose of focus or make the cursor behave normally.
Eg. In case the user types 3 letters and he goes back one letter and type a new letter I don´t want the cursor go to the end of the word but to stay at the same position after the typing.

Pyragon, Inc. Takes on Nuclear Obsolescence Issues
Planning for obsolescence can avoid prolonged shutdowns or unexpected outages. Although, every obsolescence issue cannot be planned and unexpected issues can occur at any time. Whether the issue has been planned for or unexpected Pyragon, Inc. understands your nuclear issues and can offer guidance to assure operations are enhanced and provide reliability and compatibility with original models.
Nuclear Replacement Models
"The ability to provide not just an exact replacement product, but units that provide higher reliability (due to the IEC design parameters) are the key to effective operations now and in the future" said Crumlish.
Rochester, NY (PRWEB) May 04, 2012
Nuclear obsolescence can be troubling for any facility when unforeseen circumstances occur. Unplanned outages and shutdowns can be extremely costly - discovering the problem, locating which unit is needed to solve the problem, waiting for manufacture of the correct unit according to new guidelines and specifications and finally delivery of the unit to the facility. Obviously, not such a great turn of events within the nuclear industry. On the other hand, knowing that there is a solution and options just in case, allows you to be informed of upfront costs, cost-effective solutions and availability of replacement models quickly.
Pyragon, Inc. a Rochester, New York based company has recently added four new nuclear replacement products. A growing problem in the nuclear industry today is how to cost-effectively and operationally replace old outdated units to new industry standards. These new units boast new and more robust circuitry compared to the original models. Nuclear facilities facing obsolescence of critical components to their operating systems require fit, form and function units to avoid costly modernization within outdated nuclear operations. We offer direct replacement units in addition to upgrades that return a better more efficient unit.
The four models added would replace the following models used currently in some facilities the RIS 1330 Square Root Extractor, Fischer & Porter Adder Subtractor, the Fisher & Porter mV Converter and the Fisher & Porter Hi/Lo Signal Selector. All of the upgraded units have been tested to the following IEC standards 61000-4-2 ESD, 61000-4-3 RFI Immunity, 61000-4-4 EFT Transient, 61000-4-5 Surge and 61000-4-6 Conducted RF. More information regarding the models can be viewed at http://www.pyragon.com.
"Pyragon, Inc. has many nuclear obsolescence models available and also custom and reverse engineers units according to our customer's needs," said Thomas Crumlish the President of Pyragon. "The ability to provide not just an exact replacement product, but units that provide higher reliability (due to the IEC design parameters) are the key to effective operations now and in the future," said Crumlish. Pyragon, Inc. offers solutions to any nuclear obsolescence issue; staff is knowledgeable and current with guidelines and specifications needed within the nuclear industry- not just selling a product, but also a service.
Pyragon, Inc. has been operating since 1996 it is a high quality manufacturer of industrial temperature transmitters, signal isolators, signal conditioners, alarm trip and custom OEM designs. Depending on customer needs the company offers off the shelf stock and custom designed products. More information on these products and others can be viewed at http://www.pyragon.com.

3.7M FlexBooker Records Dumped on Hacker ForumPrevious article
EoL Systems Stonewalling Log4j Fixes for Fed AgenciesNext article
Cyberattackers Hit Data of 80K Fertility Patients
Fertility Centers of Illinois' security measures protected electronic medical records, but the attackers still got at extremely intimate data in admin files.
The protected health information of nearly 80,000 patients of Fertility Centers of Illinois (FCI) may have been pawed over by cyber intruders following a cyberattack.
FCI runs four clinics across Illinois. According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Office for Civil Rights' data breach site, the breach – reported on Dec. 27 – affected 79,943 people.
FCI's data breach notice (PDF) said that the healthcare organization first detected suspicious activity on its internal systems on Feb. 1, 2021. A subsequent investigation indicated that security systems had blocked attackers from accessing patient EMR (electronic medical records) systems. However, the intruder(s) managed to access administrative files and folders.
FCI said that it immediately launched a "thorough and comprehensive review" of its records to identify the files accessed, the information contained in those files and the individuals to whom that information pertained.
By Aug. 27, 2021, FCI had determined that information related to certain FCI patients was included in the set of files that had been improperly accessed. One positive finding so far: FCI said it's "not aware of any actual or attempted misuse of patient information as a result of this incident."
May it stay that way, given the severe harm that could be done with the dizzying array of highly sensitive personally identifying information (PII) that was involved: a trove that could be mined for financial fraud, identity theft, healthcare fraud and more.
A Treasure Trove of Compromised Data
The accessed files included some patients' names, employer-assigned ID numbers, passport numbers, Social Security numbers, financial account information, payment card information, treatment information, diagnosis, treating/referring physicians, medical record number, medical billing/claims information, prescription/medication information, Medicare/Medicaid identification information, health insurance group numbers, health insurance subscriber numbers, patient account numbers, encounter numbers, ill health/retirement information, master patient index, occupational-health related information, other medical benefits and entitlements information, other medical ID numbers, patkeys/reason for absence, sickness certificate, usernames and passwords with PINs or account login information, and medical facilities associated with patient information.
The Big Business of Extremely Intimate Data
Stealing this kind of data is big business. One example: In October, a Las Vegas man and former medical records tech was sentenced to 12.5 years of prison for stealing PII that was then used to fraudulently claim Department of Defense (DoD) and Veterans Administration (VA) benefits, particularly targeting disabled veterans.
The data of more than 3,300 U.S. military service members, military dependents and civilians employed by the DoD were compromised as part of what turned out to be a transnational cybercrime ring created to defraud them out of $1.5 million in military benefits from the DoD and the VA.
With regards to the FCI breach, the organization said that it immediately took steps to eliminate unauthorized access and brought in independent forensic investigators to investigate and remediate the matter, on top of additional security measures meant to further secure access to data, individual accounts, and equipment, including the implementation of enterprise identity verification software.
FCI has also bolstered employee security practices training and has offered a year's worth of free credit monitoring and identity theft protection through Equifax.
"Please be assured that we have invested considerable resources to ensure that such a vulnerability does not exist in the future," FCI concluded.
The New Year Has Had a Lot of Picking On Patients
Easier said than done, apparently. Unfortunately, the new year has ushered in an undiminished zest for attacking healthcare information.
Earlier this week, Florida's Broward Health System announced that the most intimate medical data of 1,357,879 patients was breached in October: evidence of what security researchers said is a soft-bellied healthcare software supply chain that's proved to be a juicy target for cybercriminals.
Healthcare organizations are also in the same log-jammed boat as every other sector: They're hyper-focused on mitigating threats associated with the Apache Log4j vulnerability and trying to avoid the disastrous consequences if the Log4Shell flaws are exploited.
Earlier this week, Microsoft reported that it saw rampant Log4j exploit attempts and testing through the end of December.
The Acute Danger of Log4j for Healthcare
On Dec. 17, a week after the discovery of the Log4j flaw, the HHS 405(d) Task Group issued a brief (PDF) outlining the risks associated with the vulnerability that could have catastrophic security implications for healthcare and other sectors.
"The exploitation allows the execution of any code which could result in compromise of the server, download of malicious binaries, or propagation of further attacks such as ransomware or a zero-day attack," according to HHS's alert.
It's not even clear how many healthcare systems and devices could be affected by Log4Shell or what all the ways of exploitation might be, but it's estimated that it could potentially affect hundreds of millions of devices, networks and/or software platforms, HHS said.
"Healthcare organizations are dependent on readily available devices and software that are vendor-supplied and connected to an external network to operate. These complex and interconnected devices affect patient safety and privacy," according to HHS.
"They represent potential attack vectors across an organization like medical equipment such as bedside monitors that monitor vital signs during an inpatient stay," the alert continued. "Or, they may be more complicated, like infusion pumps that deliver specialized therapies and require continual drug library updates. If an attacker gained access to the network through a vulnerability such as Log4j, they would be able to gain control of the software and could potentially disconnect devices from the network, therefore, causing a disruption to daily procedures and putting patient safety at risk."
HHS explained that mainstream and well-known organizations, including cloud services, use Log4j software and may be vulnerable, including cloud applications that medical organizations use for Electronic Health Records (EHR) services and outsourced security services such as Software as a Service (SaaS).
Github maintains a running list of affected services and products.
Admin Account Used to Get at Data
Ben Pick, Principal Consultant at app security provider nVisium, noted that FCI stated that it followed reasonable practices to protect users and that an administrative account was used to obtain the data: the privileged kind of account from which attackers can do beaucoup damage. "These higher privileged accounts often have access to widespread data and act as a single point of failure, as evidenced by the large amount of user data exposed," he told Threatpost via email.
His advice, in lieu of knowing the cause of the administrator's account being compromised, is to limit access rights based on need to know.
Failing that, monitor, monitor, monitor, Pick advised: "When these privileged accounts cannot be limited, then strong monitoring must be enforced. This would alert when anomalous calls are made to indicate when an administrator may be performing an excessive amount of searches and possibly exfiltrating data."
The Soft Spot of APIs
Mac McMillan, CEO of CynergisTek, predicted in an interview with HealthITSecurity that in the new year, ransomware operators will shift their focus away from encryption and on to data exfiltration.
Blame the soft spot of APIs, he said: "As interoperability becomes more of a mainstream priority for healthcare organizations and we see more APIs that are being introduced between critical systems, I think we're going to see a rise in the number of attacks that are focused on compromising those APIs.
"It's another area where [we] don't typically have a good, consistent approach across the board in healthcare with respect to testing APIs for security."
This is particularly true given that healthcare organizations are now looking at an API change-over deadline: By year's end – Dec. 31, 2022 – they're required to migrate to Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR) APIs in order to enable seamless data sharing. Implementing the new data standards will likely cause enough turmoil that threat actors will be that much more attracted to APIs as a network entry point, McMillan suggested.
Why Was FCI's Regulated Data Outside of Network Monitoring?
Jake Williams, Co-Founder and CTO at incident response firm BreachQuest, noted to Threatpost on Friday that it's not uncommon for medical organizations to store patient data outside of their EHR system, and it sounds like that's what happened here.
"As the article notes, the EMR was not compromised due to unspecified security measures," Williams said via email.
"However, files (presumably on some network share) were accessed by threat actors. It wouldn't surprise me to learn that the EMR enforces [multi-factor authentication] or doesn't use domain authentication."
Williams suggested that organizations take inventory of where they may have regulated data that may fall outside of normal monitoring and audit controls: a topic that Citrix iterated in a September sponsored article on Threatpost.
"Those who don't perform regular data inventory searches almost certainly have regulated data in their file shares – a location where it is just one phishing email away from compromise," Williams said.

Strange Mercy is the third studio album by American musician St. Vincent, released on September 13, 2011 by 4AD, in the United Kingdom and a day later in the United States. The album's cover art was designed by St. Vincent, and was photographed by Tina Tyrell. The album peaked at No. 19 on the Billboard 200, it was St. Vincent's highest charting album at the time, later being surpassed by her next two solo albums, St. Vincent (2014) and Masseduction (2017). In addition, Strange Mercy received significant critical acclaim.

The album was recognized as the 23rd Best Album of the Decade So Far by Pitchfork in August 2014. Strange Mercy sold nearly 30,000 copies in the three weeks following its release, according to Nielsen SoundScan. As of January 2012, UK sales stand at 7,500 copies according to The Guardian.

Background and recording
Strange Mercy was written in Seattle while Annie Clark spent time in isolation, an experience she described as a "loneliness experiment" and "a cleanse". This was to escape from the information overload she was experiencing with New York and modern technology. Clark arrived in Seattle in October 2010, stayed at the Ace Hotel and used a studio provided by Jason McGerr.

The album was announced in a Twitter post on January 12, 2011. In early March, producer John Congleton, who also worked with Clark on Actor (2009), commented that he and Clark were nearly a third of the way through recording the new release. The album was recorded at Elmwood Studio in Dallas, Texas.

In July 2011, Clark announced that a track from Strange Mercy would be unlocked when enough Twitter users tweeted the hashtag "#strangemercy". During the campaign, teaser videos for the album, which Clark described as riffing on the idea of "strange mercy", were released. On July 22, 2011, the album track "Surgeon" was released as a free MP3 download following the Twitter campaign. On August 25, 2011, a video for "Cruel" was released. On September 4, 2011, Strange Mercy was streamed in its entirety on NPR Music.

Music videos
The first music video from the album, "Cruel", was released on August 25, 2011. The music video, which featured Clark being kidnapped by a motherless family, being forced to be a wife in the family and being buried alive, was filmed around San Francisco and on Mare Island.

A second music video from the album, "Cheerleader", was released on February 7, 2012. The video, directed by Hiro Murai, was inspired by the artwork of Ron Mueck. It featured a giant Clark tied to the center of a gallery space, surrounded by onlookers.

Lyrics
Strange Mercy was described as being more personal than previous St. Vincent albums. "Chloe in the Afternoon", the album's opener, explores Clark's misgivings about monogamy, particularly the societal pressures on and assumptions about human relationships. The lyrics "Best, finest surgeon. Come cut me open" in the track "Surgeon" were taken from a line written in Marilyn Monroe's journal. Clark found that line to be "brilliant and really strange", saying "And I was – I put, you know, inspiration from my own life for various situational depression or what – call it what you will. And this line, best finest surgeon, really resonated with me." The album closer "Year of the Tiger" was written about the depression Clark experienced in 2010, the Year of the Tiger in the Chinese calendar. Clark did not elaborate on what caused her depression.

Critical reception

Strange Mercy has received critical acclaim. On the review aggregate site Metacritic, the album has a score of 85 out of 100, indicating "universal acclaim". Pitchforks Ryan Dombal gave the album a "Best New Music" designation, writing "Here, Clark's role-playing is grounded in emotions that are as cryptic as they are genuine and affecting. And when her voice can't bear it, her guitar does the screaming." Drowned in Sounds Sean Adams also gave the album a positive review, writing, "Don't be fooled by them saucer-like bambi eyes[...] or her tip-top indie-rock-positioning system[...] because this is an album that rockets toward you, ricochets through your emotions and finally decides to lay you down on the floor, headphones on, tumbling around like a blissed-out cat in the sun." Spins Stacey Anderson called Strange Mercy St. Vincent's "most mercurial [album] yet", continuing: "Clark's complex femininity, both self-possessed and keenly evolving, is what makes her music so powerful and fascinating." Q also gave the album a positive review, writing: "Combining elegance and menace expertly, Clark's vocals drift languidly amid swimmy guitars, siren-like choirs and strings, while lyrical undercurrents of anger, hysteria and black humour tug beneath the surface." Arnold Pan of PopMatters praised the album for balancing experimentation and accessibility, writing "It's as if Strange Mercy is making the case that high art can have a popular dimension—and the reverse, too, that pop culture can be high-minded and artful. Like peers such as Animal Collective and Dirty Projectors, Clark creates challenging music that doesn't go over your head even though you realize there's more going on with it than you can wrap your mind around."

In a more mixed review, BBC Music's Wyndham Wallace called Strange Mercy "a little underwhelming", writing that there was a lack of standout tracks. Wallace continued: "[...] ultimately Strange Mercy sounds like her best record still lies ahead, once she feels a little more at ease with balancing her obviously multiple talents."

Accolades
Strange Mercy has appeared on many end-of-year lists. Paste ranked the album No. 11 on its list of the best 50 albums of 2011. The same website also called the track "Cruel" the 13th best song of 2011, writing "The simple lyrics about how hurtful and painful the pressure of looks can have on a person are accompanied by a Talking Heads-like progression. It is difficult to be upset when this song gets stuck in your head." Q ranked the album No. 8 on its list of the top 50 albums of 2011, while NME ranked the album No. 7 on its end-of-year list. Uncut placed Strange Mercy at No. 43. Pitchfork ranked the album No. 11 on its list of the Top 50 Albums of 2011, with Stephen Deusner writing: "Strange Mercy is always on its toes, always toying with some new idea, always building toward the oddly satisfying payoff. The song might be a narrative or an uncomfortable explication of the life of an indie rock artist, and the ambiguity, not to mention the ambivalence, stings. By totally embracing that off-kilter danger, Clark opened up a raw and brave new vocabulary." In 2013, NME listed the album at 369 in their list of the 500 greatest albums of all time.

Consequence of Sound named the record the ninth best album of the 2010s decade, and Pitchfork ranked it at 55 on their Best Albums of the 2010s list.

Tour and performances
On January 20, 2012, Clark announced a tour in support of Strange Mercy. The tour included a performance at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, as well as two co-headlining shows with Tune-Yards.

St. Vincent has also performed songs from Strange Mercy on several television shows. On January 16, 2012, she performed "Cheerleader" on Conan. On February 13, 2012, St. Vincent performed "Cruel" and "Cheerleader" on the Gossip Girl episode "Crazy, Cupid, Love". On May 1, 2012, she performed "Cruel" and "Cheerleader" on Later... with Jools Holland.

Morgan Motor Company Shows You How They Make Their Machines: Video
Jeff Glucker November 11, 2014 Comment Now!
Since 1910, the Morgan Motor Company has been churning out cars. Well, that's not exactly true because the company originally produced vehicles known as cycle cars. These were three-wheel machines that could seat two or four people. The first four-wheel car came to be in 1936, and Morgan has produced both three and four wheelers for many years now. One thing hasn't changed though, and that's how these classically beautiful machines are built.

A skilled team of employees artfully craft modern Morgans at the automaker's Malvern Link, England headquarters. I say modern Morgan, but that merely refers to the model year. Sure, the AeroMax looks like a modern spots car, but its lines are rooted in Morgan history. The cars are still built utilizing a good number of wooden components and a whole lot of hand-formed aluminum body panels.
Don't expect the Morgan team to turn out thousands of cars per year. Instead, expect them to turn out a few hundred glorious motoring machines that are to a high-end watch what the Toyota Camry is to your average washing machine.
