Fringes, those dangly things are on just about anything we will be wearing this fall - gloves, shoes, boots, coats, jackets, scarves and what I like to wear, cosy sweaters.
It's easy to upgrade a plain old sweater or cardigan into something special.Thread through yarn, leather strips, fabric strips or anything pliable and knot it. Voila, you have fringe.
If you're thinking that it has to be perfect and even, think again...read on and see examples that will inspire you to try putting fringe in places you may have not thought of.
Fringe around the front and back shoulder of the sleeve. The yarn is pulled through a stitch and knotted.
The fringe here has been added on the sleeves. The yarn used is thicker and ropelike, contrasting the yarn used in the body. The thick, ropelike yarn adds dimension and gives the effect of fur.
The epaulettes on the sweater have been made with fringe. The garment is a fine guage knit, in contrast to the woolly lopi yarn usually used in outdoor pullovers and cardigans. Again, the contrast adds to the texture and style.
Strips of different weights and kinds of fabrics have been threaded through the holes in the hem of the garment. The strips are knotted at the ends. This method has enriched the garment with colour and pattern.
Using the same colour for the fringe and garment allows for the fringe be playful without being too obvious. Here the fringe is in randon stripes in different lengths.
Adding length to a finished garment can be tricky, but the addition of long fringe to the bottom of this garment in the same main colour gives the illusion of length.
Have any of you used fringe in a clever, creative way? Please let me know.
About 5 years ago I was making a multicolored scarf for a friend. I wanted to do something different so I decided to add fringe throughout the scarf, not only at the ends. She loved it.
Then she did her triloom weaving and made a stunning piece with random rows of fringe. Sandra's Stitches on Pinterest, if you'd like to see her piece.
I'm glad to see that I was not the only person to think of adding fringe in the body of an item and not just at the usual places.
Where have you been all my life. Such quality in everything you do. Wonderful and I am deeply appreciative of the work involved in presenting your posts. You rule.
Thank you so much Peta, I'm truly happy that you enjoy reading the posts.
It is comments like yours that make all the work worthwhile.


It is anticipated that the changes to the Franchising Code of Conduct will be finalised at the end of this month.
If that is the case, with a commencement date of 1 January, 2015 and a Christmas holiday period in between, November and December may be very busy months indeed.
Although the revised Code may not be available til the end of October, we have a pretty good indication of what changes we can expect.
In order to avoid a last minute rush during a typically busy time of the year, The Franchise & Business Lawyers suggest franchisors review the proposed changes and start formulating policies and plans now.
Don't forget that franchisors still need to update their disclosure documents by 31 October, 2014 in accordance with usual practice.

President's Blog: From the Heart
Learn. Lead. Serve. Pray.
Thursday July 15, 2021
By Eric F. Spina
"Callings" is billed as an introduction to the heart and soul of UD for incoming first-year students, and there's truth in that advertising.
When Karen and I visited with our new students in this Campus Ministry program during a picnic at Old River Park, we quickly realized they already are enthusiastic ambassadors for the Marianist mission even though they haven't started classes yet. Traveling to campus from Chicago, Puerto Rico and spots in between, 40 students gave up part of their summer vacation this week to explore their faith and vocation under the guidance of campus minister Elizabeth Montgomery and 12 student leaders. Like Mary, the mother of Jesus, they boldly said "yes" to discovering how they can make a difference on campus — and in the world.
"Callings" welcomed this summer's students shortly after the campus reached the 70 percent vaccination mark, and the joy, relief, and hopefulness in the air was tangible. "Happy In-Person Day!" said lay Marianist Erla Burnside with a welcoming smile as she stopped by our table of students, who were enjoying pulled chicken and pork sandwiches and each other's company after visiting the Arcade, Riverscape and other notable downtown spots.
During dinner the students tapped into the knowledge of lay and vowed Marianists at their tables during spirited games of "Marianist Bingo," where they learned about the Three O'Clock Prayer and heard advice about how they can live out the charism as students. Not all are Catholic, but all are committed to exploring the special religious tradition that animates UD. All are student leaders in the making.
When Andrew Marsheh heard about the program, he texted his friend and UD roommate Joe MeLampy: "Sounds fun. We're going." They told us they traveled from the Detroit area to meet new people, get the lay of the land of campus before New Student Orientation, play Spikeball — and deepen their faith.
Kate Sebastian, a junior dietetics and nutrition major, came in from Cincinnati to help lead students through three days of prayer, service, and reflection. Her group spent a morning on clean-up detail at the Great Miami River and created their own artwork while reflecting on the ways creative expression helps them understand God.
Kate will never forget her introduction to the University through participation in "Callings" as an incoming first-year student. "I remember the minute we rolled up to the school. People were holding 'Welcome to UD' signs, and I immediately felt that energy," she said. "This program not only helps with faith formation and leadership, it also helped me make connections."
As Karen and I reluctantly departed, we felt energized and inspired after meeting UD's future servant-leaders — students who understand our Marianist values and want to put them into action.
It never gets old. And never will. The view of the chapel as I arrive to campus in the quiet early morning is beautiful: whether shrouded in fog, covered in snow, or reflecting early daybreak.
The Class of 2021 entered the University of Dayton with the idealism of youth and, four years later, left with a commitment to be instruments of change in the world.

Caravel Forum : DROD Boards : Architecture : Parity & Flow (A hold about making it to the end)
File: Parity Flow Phase I.hold (54.5 KB)
Parity & Flow (+1)
Well, it's time I get this looked at by somebody other than myself. This is a highly linear hold centered on a few particular ideas:
-Getting through a maze of rooms whose traversibility changes depending on whether they're clear or not (as in, open/closed green doors)
-Interesting room and/or level shapes
-The vague concept of "flow" employed in various puzzles
-Each level being heavily focused on a particular monster type: roaches, Rock golems/giants, then eyes
-Taking the opportunity to make puzzles about not clearing the room and/or using the fact that you can/must leave a room uncleared to proceed
-Needing to do some extra trickery both within individual rooms and in your overall traversal of the level in order to unlock each level's secret room
The basic concept for this was thought up around the time my very first hold was nearing completion. I had intended to make this much longer, and still have some more ideas of how to expand on this concept, but at this point I kind of want to try releasing the "first four levels" as a "Phase I" and then maybe build more levels into a second hold later. The first three levels I built are the "normal" levels, and the fourth I stuck into postmastery as it's a very different experience and design concept.
I appreciate that this might be a bit more difficult to test than a normal, open-style hold, but hopefully some people will take a look anyway. I think there are checkpoints everywhere, but maybe I forgot some or a few are ill-placed. There are some rooms (such as level 1 2S) which I'm not entirely sure about, and I could definitely use feedback of the form "I wish this room was taken out and replaced" among all the rest.
I made an effort to describe this within the hold itself also, but each level has a "map room" which shows the overall layout of the level, and if you push special command on the scroll in the map room it will reveal all the rooms in the level via a special cutscene. I originally thought the latter to be too much trouble, but came to the conclusion that it's too big a quality-of-life feature to not include, and anyway I don't want dumb "gotchas" where you go a long way around, find you needed to clear an earlier room, and need to walk all the way back to be a part of the hold's difficulty--so letting the player see all of that ahead of time is ideal.
Re: Parity & Flow (0)
Minor update: Fixed a tiny thing that was missing in the map key in the postmastery challenge level thing.

File: Parity Flow Phase I- KituU demos.demo (30.5 KB)
Re: Parity & Flow (+2)
Hi, played it.
Fascinating ! very very nice !
Love the maze of rooms puzzle theme.
Demos and some comments
Did not use the level map with special command, I decided to go through it blind, had to redo some rooms a couple of time, but they were quickly done, it was a lot of fun to solve "all rooms puzzle" ! However, I could not understand the maprooms at all. really no clue how to relate the information to a map of rooms, to me it is most confusing
Roach Crossing 2S : mixed feelings, it's the kind of puzzle that doesn't invite to engage, and initially feels frustrating. Tried a few things in the editor, found a way and then it was mostly trial and error to get the correct order movement, and it was ok. Still not a favorite
Roach Crossing 2S1E : Scroll writing is interrupted. Also, had to google "overarching", never heard before
Rocky Gears 2S : very challenging
Rocky Gears 2S1E : 6 Golems not needed
Starry Eyes 1S1W : unintended solution ?
Starry Eyes 1S1E : maybe unintended ? hope not, as it was more fun this way
Starry Eyes 4S1W : challenge: wake up only 5 eyes before killing brain
Starry Eyes 5S1E : at first thought had to find the "one annoying trick", but instead it is a beautiful puzzle !
The solution I found was the challenge, but I do not see how to do it otherwise
Starry Eyes 3S : room has unintended trivial solution.
Needs save points . Can be done without Kegs or Caber
Thanks for taking a look! I'll go through the demos a bit later, but for now:
-I'll put some serious thought to making a new room in roach crossing 2S.
-You found a dev scroll I forgot to remove in roach crossing 2S1E. Since it wasn't supposed to be in the final version of the hold, I didn't bother keeping it short enough for a player to read. I'll get rid of it next update.
Okay, had time to actually look through things now. A few particular responses-
×I tried to make the map as clear as I could with the limited space of a single room, but it's understandable if it's hard to read. Concerns of that happening were part of my decision to make "reveal the level" an option.
Looking through your demos, I saw that you found a US to Roach Crossing 1S1E which I don't know how to fix, but I don't think it exactly trivializes the room either, so it's fine. The intended solution doesn't cut the path, so the roaches act as brained. Apart from that there were pretty few unintended solutions in the first two levels, which is kind of surprising (in a positive way) to me.
Rocky Gears 2S1E isn't really supposed to "require" all the golems it has; my demo also uses just a few.
I think I've fixed starry eyes 1S1W (with an extra door-closing mechanism) and 1S1E (added a tunnel so you can't kill the eastern eyes from the disarm token). I feel I had to on the latter, as I think the actual intended puzzle is much cooler than just "lure the eyes out and kill them with your sword".
Starry Eyes 4S1W: I went ahead and added the challenge, calling it "KituU's Challenge" provisionally. Let me know if there's another name you'd prefer for it
Starry Eyes 5S1E: The basic idea for the non-challenge solution is to put one clone onto a button, then have him wake an eye on the other and then they step off at the same time. I thought it was more difficult to do it the way you did, but it may just depend on the person which is easier.
Starry Eyes 2S3W: I was interested to see your solution, which chooses to kill the southeastern-facing eye. Mine kills the east-facing one instead.
Starry Eyes 3S: Gotta watch those decoys; I think I plugged the simple leak now. It's no surprise to me, really, that there's a way to do this without using the kegs; I felt like leaving the room a bit open-ended overall, so I'm fine with that.
And so,
-Roach Crossing: Removed dev scroll from 2S1E
-Starry Eyes:
--Leak fixes in 1S1W, 1S1E, 3S
--Added challenge to 4S1W
--Added checkpoints in 3S

Q: XML Files for Interfaces in Android I know Java programming well. I am working on an Android project and have learned about how to create an application for android. However, I have a point that I do not understand about interfaces of android. When we are working on Java we have used in code screen panels and some imports like Swing, AWT, SWT, but now we are creating interfaces on XML files and I do not understand how do XML files create an interface. I want to know its logic. Could you please enlighten me about XML files.

A: Think of XML sort of like HTML - you are basically using markup to define UI components and giving them basic style attributes like position, size, colors, etc, but not really any behavior properties. XML tags, like HTML, have names, and attributes that define properties. They can be nested as well, in many cases. When a tag has other tags nested in it, we call those children. Tags with children have the opening tag () and a closing tag (). Children are defined in between. Tags without children may omit the closing tag by placing a / (slash) in front of the enclosing >
<LinearLayout>
    <Button
       android:layout_width="100dp"
       android:layout_height="25dp"
       android:id="@+id/my_button"
       android:text="CLICK HERE" />
</LinearLayout>

The attributes have the android: label on them so that the xml parser can properly recognize they are properties defined by android, to put it simply. The build tools included in the eclipse ADT (or in the sdk tools if you are not using eclipse) generate java objects behind the scenes with the corresponding properties appropriately set, so that you don't have to do that work. It also generates an R.java file, which contains pointers to the java objects it generates for your layout elements, so that you can easily reference them in java code:
Button myButton = (Button) findViewById(R.id.my_button);
myButton.setOnClickListener(...);

If you want, you CAN do your layout/UI development entirely with java code, but it becomes much more verbose and tedious, as you will have to explicitly set many values which are implied/omitted in the corresponding XML code. XML saves a lot of time and the visual editors make it a lot easier/faster to get the look how you want it.
With XML, you can also define things like Strings which you want to easily internationalize, and simple drawables which, if done correctly, will easily scale up n down screen sizes and resolution, and simple animations. Using the "qualified path names" on your resource directories, you can provide alternative versions of any value/resource defined in XML (such as layouts, drawables, or strings) which will be appopriately swapped out at run-time based on the users device & settings.
For instance, you can define a layout, say main.xml, in res/layout-land for landscape, and an alternate version in res/layout-port for for portrait. Then the app will load the layout which corresponds to the users orientation automatically. Similarly, you can define a string, say button_label, in res/values-en/strings.xml which has a value of "Yes", and define a string with the same name, button_label, in res/values-es/strings.xml with a value of "Si". If the users locale is set to english, 'Yes' will be used. If their local is Spanish, "Si" will be used.

Drones are now being commonly deployed for a range of uses in everyday life, including innovative environmental monitoring by international police forces.
The Scentroid DR1000 Flying Laboratory can sample emission plumes and ambient air up to 150 metres above the ground to gather information that can be combined with thermal imaging, GPS positioning and altitude to provide 3D mapping of a site's air emissions.
It can even be mounted on a motor vehicle and used to track and monitor a broad range of gases and particulates. For example, in Katowice, Poland, such a 'sniffer drone' is being used by police to detect air pollutants that cause smog formation. These are being released from dwellings burning illegal solid fuels like low quality coal, wood waste and rubbish.
The DR1000 is also being used in South Korea to detect pollution – as you can see in this video (in Korean).
Drones are also used for all types of other uses as shown in this article, from fire-fighting, to delivering goods, to art.
At Air Environment, we are extremely excited about drone's potential for environmental monitoring and are very happy to be able to offer the Flying Laboratory to our customers. Learn more about the Flying Laboratory in this video below or speak to Air Environment about acquiring one for your next air quality project.


Appalachian Mountain Club News: Time for Spring Cleaning...of the Air!
Time for Spring Cleaning...of the Air!
The Clean Air Act is a proven tool for improving water quality in mountain headwater streams, reducing the number of bad air day alerts in National Parks, and reducing haze that blocks views from our favorite peaks. The Act relies on science as the basis for "rule making" and helps advance our understanding of the causes and impacts of air pollution. It also promotes use of the latest and best technologies to clean up emissions from air pollution.
There are a number of actions being taken now to help reduce air toxins and carbon pollution from further harming our health and our environment. You can help ensure these and other important efforts to combat air pollution are successful.
Power Plant Emission Standards for toxins; AMC supports reductions in mercury and other contaminants that cause toxicity in air, water, and wildlife. The Mercury and Air Toxics Standards (MATS) was, after 21 years, put into place under the Clean Air Act this spring only to be attacked by Congressional members who are trying to stop the implementation of this important rule. You can join many other concerned moms, dads and citizens, by letting your member of Congress know that you support MATS and that they should let EPA do its job to clean up toxic air pollution!
Power Plant Carbon Standards; AMC supports curbing impacts from climate change by controlling carbon emissions, enhancing energy efficiency, and promoting environmentally balanced renewable energy. The science is clear that carbon pollution impacts to natural areas and systems are real and happening today. The EPA just proposed a rule that all new power plants meet carbon standards under the Clean Air Act. Stay tuned on how you can weigh in on this proposal by joining AMC's Conservation Action Network and learn how to talk about climate change to your community.

Stevie Nicks Releases Statement: 'Truly Sorry' For Saying She Would Have 'Strangled' Nicki Minaj
Stevie Nicks 'Truly Sorry' For Saying She Would Have 'Strangled' Nicki Minaj
LOS ANGELES, CALIF. -- Stevie Nicks is apologizing after she lashed out at Nicki Minaj.
The former Fleetwood Mac singer, who was a mentor last season on "American Idol," was asked about the recent blowup between new "Idol" judges Mariah Carey and Nicki Minaj, and Stevie had some strong words for the new "Idol" judge.
"How dare this little girl!… If I had been Mariah I would have walked over to Nicki and strangled her to death right there," the 64-year-old rocked told The Daily.com when asked about Minaj. "I would have killed her in front of all those people and had to go to jail for it."
Now, Nicks regrets her comments and says they came after a grueling day with the media.
"I want to apologize for my remarks about Nicki Minaj's behavior toward Mariah Carey which I said during a long and exhausting day of interviews. It was very out of character for me and I deeply regret what I said," she said in a statement released to Access Hollywood.
Adding, "I feel very protective toward Mariah Carey who has gone through many difficulties in her life and I spoke without thinking. I think all artists should be respectful toward one another and that includes me. I am truly sorry."
A rep for Minaj was not immediately available for comment when contacted by Access Hollywood on Wednesday.

Film Review: In Your Dreams Stevie Nicks + Submit Your Questions For Stevie Flicknation Interview
In Your Dreams: Stevie Nicks Film Review
by John DeFore
Stevie Nicks and producer Dave Stewart co-direct a diary about the album they made together.
THE HAMPTONS, NEW YORK — A diaristic doc whose appeal is limited strictly to megafans, In Your Dreams: Stevie Nicks chronicles the collaboration between Nicks and Eurythmics member Dave Stewart on the 2011 album of the same name. A raucous premiere here (with viewers applauding after every song) suggests Nicks has enough admirers to fill special screenings here and there, but the film is best suited to a CD/DVD Collectors' Edition package.
Nicks and Stewart share directing credit on the film, displaying an enthusiasm for effects -- from filters to fisheye lenses -- that sometimes exacerbates the choppiness of Shane Mclafferty's editing. Their stylistic flourishes fit more smoothly in the music video-like sequences scattered throughout, where 19th-century costumes and the occasional vampire or magician matches the music's mood.
The film opens "somewhere in Southern California," where Nicks has decided to set up mikes in the middle of her sprawling old house and spend the better part of a year piecing a record together with Stewart and some other old friends. Having handed Stewart a book full of writings (she uses the word "poems" pretty loosely), the two collaborate on making songs from them; the film gives each track its own bit of screen time, whether it was inspired by a long-ago post-rehab romance ("For What It's Worth") or is little more than an aural book report about "Wide Sargasso Sea."
This may suit devotees, but more casual fans will wish for a movie that doesn't assume we already know everything there is to know about the singer's career. Only one brief tangent on her childhood makes its way onscreen, and there's almost no talk of her early solo outings or her heyday with Fleetwood Mac. (An enjoyable bit of keyboard noodling on "Dreams" is as close as we get to the glory days.) Old bandmates Mick Fleetwood and Lindsey Buckingham do drop by to record on new songs, though, and we are treated to a funny story about the time Nicks tried to steal a Mike Campbell tune that became Tom Petty's "Runaway Trains."
Though unconvinced viewers may snort when Nicks compares herself to Bob Dylan or treats lyrics scribbled on hotel stationery like relics of great import, we do see things partly explaining her success: Knowing she's not getting what she wants during a track's playback, she proves to have remembered one of Stewart's guitar solos better than he himself does.

STEVIE NIXES AUTOBIO + FLEETWOOD SMACK for 'Idol' diva Nicki Minaj
STEVIE NIXES A DISHY AUTOBIO
NYDaily News
Fleetwood Mac is famous for drug-addled affairs between band members. But at the Hamptons Film Festival premiere of "In Your Dreams," a documentary about the making of her 2011 album of the same name, Stevie Nicks told Confidenti@l she has no plans to write a juicy tell-all.
"I'm never going to write that kind of book," Nicks (above) said. "If I do anything, it will be just vignettes of the magical moments of my life."
Go your own way, Stevie!
Enhanced Buzz
See how one quote can take on a life of it's own? Huge amount of on-line press with Stevie's remarks towards Nicki Minaj (some of it below).
But I have to admit, some of the headlines from today are pretty hilarious! It's debatable whether the saying "All Press is Good Press" applies...
Stevie has since released a statement through her publicist Liz Rosenberg retracted what she said
saying:
"I want to apologize for my remarks about Nicki Minaj's behavior toward Mariah Carey which I said during a long and exhausting day of interviews. It was very out of character for me and I deeply regret what I said. I feel very protective toward Mariah Carey who has gone through many difficulties in her life and I spoke without thinking. I think all artist should be respectful toward one another and that includes me. I am truly sorry."
- Stevie Nicks
AMERICAN Idol execs can thank their lucky stars they didn't hire Stevie Nicks as a judge: explaining an on-air strangling to the censors would have been difficult.
Couriermail - Australia
Nicks, who was coach for the contestants last season, weighed into the on-air feud between Nicki Minaj and Mariah Carey, telling The Daily that she would have sent Minaj to the place where the rooms are permanently on fire if she had been in Carey's shoes.
Stevie Nicks Says She Wants to Literally Murder Nicki Minaj
Following news of the weirdly boring/probably fake feud between Nicki Minaj and Mariah Carey, itinerant fortune teller Stevie Nicks decided she should probably jump in. NATURALLY. And her words for Minaj were not pretty.
"I would have killed her in front of all those people and had to go to jail for it," the former Fleetwood Mac star promised.
Stevie added that normally she would have just gone with a bat-bogey hex or a jelly-legs jinx, but unfortunately she had her wand confiscated by the Wizengamot for violating the International Statute of Secrecy. So, manual strangulation it was. Then she ran out of polyjuice potion and turned back into Professor Trelawney. The end.

Couple of interesting points other then everything Stevie talked about. ° She'll be attending the NYC premiere of Celebration Day, the Led Zepplin film that chronicles the band's 2007 reunion concert at London's 02 Arena. The premiere takes place at the Ziegfeld Theater on Tuesday night. And according to what she said at today's Q&A she'll be with the Zepplin boys. ° Stevie does not like the fact that Ken Caillat wrote his book "Making Rumours". She feels it's not his place to tell their (Fleetwood Mac's) story and said that she refused to take his numerous calls where he was calling to interview her on 'her' story. ° Also, Stevie confirmed that Fleetwood Mac go into rehearsals at the end of February, 2013.

Recap | Photos | Video: An Afternoon With Stevie Nicks + In Your Dreams Screening + Stevie Backstage
Full Hour Conversation with Stevie Nicks
Hampton International Film Festival
A couple of things Stevie touched on during the Q&A session in Sag Harbor was that she just did a thing for iHeart Radio and mentioned that they listened to the playback to see if they wanted to tweak it prior to it being aired. I'm not a subscriber to iHeart Radio, so if anyone is, keep your ears peeled for when this is supposed to air, or maybe it already has. Also, she mentioned that she has two more gigs coming up something on Halloween and the Elton John benefit. We know about the Elton John benefit in NYC on Oct 15th, and we know about the Beverly Wilshire Hotel, Women's Guild Cedars-Sinai Gala she's performing at on November 13th, but the Halloween thing. It's apparently in San Francisco Oct 31st. It's likely another corporate or private gig.

RECAP:
An Afternoon With Stevie Nicks + In Your Dreams Screening
Sag Harbor, NY - October 7 , 2012
By: Val
For those that weren't able to attend yesterday, I thought I'd write down highlights I remember. For Stevie fans, it was truly a dream come true to see her in this setting.
She was charming, captivating, classy, candid, honest and the best part, hilarious! What a great sense of humor she has. She spoke of things we have read in previous interviews, how the writing process started with Dave, how she'd never written with anyone else before. Even if she had collaborated, it was done thru Campbell sending her tracks and her putting the lyrics to it, never in the same room with the co-writer. She talked about how easy it was to work with Dave as it was never argumentative, as it could be with Lindsey. She described the whole creation of the album as being so magical, which we were later to see in the documentary, magical indeed....oh to be a fly on the wall in that house!!
She told a story of Lindsey trying to tell her it was in bad form to change from first to second person tense in the middle of writing a song, and it was more like a lecture than a suggestion and how that is why she could never write with him as she does not like being told what to do! It was very funny, and the audience was hanging on her every word. You would never tell that to Bob Dylan, she told him. She also spoke on how it was Lindsey's working on Soldier's Angel that really brought them to a good place, prior to that, is was still a war going on.
As someone said, she spoke about after they lost the Grammy for The Dance, she said that Lindsey was upset about that, and it was right after that that Christine said she "was done" and Stevie said by the look on her face it was that look that you get when someone breaks up with you, when you know there are no if ands or buts, it is done. She also stated that Christine over time had been in a band since she was 14 I think and over time, she had become really afraid of flying, extreme panic attacks, and could not do it any longer because of that. She said that they were done touring the US for The Dance and could have easily toured Europe, Australia etc., but it would have required a lot of flights and that Christine just could not do it any longer.
An audience member asked her if she'd write a memoir, and she stated that she was not interested in writing about the dark stuff, if you want to read that, there are plenty of articles from the 70's that cover that. She said she'd would like to cover the highlights in a book, vignettes of things that were highlights of her life, the first time she saw a private jet just for Fleetwood Mac, the first time she put on one of her beautiful dresses, men that had touched her life, some of her drawings and poetry, things like that. She thought it was un-classy that in Heart's newly released bio, they have a story in there of doing coke with Stevie that she said was a private moment and as much as she loves them as artists, she was not pleased that they chose to write about it.
For those of us worried she might slow down, rest assured, she spoke of starting with Fleetwood Mac in March 2013, writing more songs, and will continue her solo career as well. An audience member asked if she'd ever do a stripped down tour, just guitar and piano and she spoke about having so many songs that are never done live, and how it would be nice to go out and do a few minutes of songs that blend together and she sang a medley of Bella Donna, Wild Heart and Rock a Little, the crowd melted with that. After the film Q&A she brought it up again, saying it would be nice to do in a small setting with old video clips playing in a surround setting on the walls, and then joked about having no computer skills and having all these high tech ideas.
The film was absolutely exquisite. They showed clips and photos of Fleetwood Mac in the 70's, pix of her and her family as a toddler, teen, etc. In the beginning there is a montage of clips from fans at concerts, talking about why we love her so. Then we see Dave knocking on her door and coming in to start the record. They broke down I think, every song on the record, showed how it was created, from start to finish and then music video type beautiful clips for each. They show actual video that she shot with friends from the balcony in Italy for Italian Summer, a fireworks display in the evening and then a storm coming in over the sea that was absolutely incredible. There were a lot of tough moments to watch where you could hear audience members crying, New Orleans showed a lot of the brutal footage of Katrina with people dead in the street, starving and suffering, and then she explained how that drove her to the piano to write that song. Same for Soldiers Angel, actual footage of a soldier she had visited in a coma in a very critical state, and then she told afterwards how he survived and attended her show in Boston this past summer, very very touching. Each song had approx. a 10 minute piece devoted to it, and the audience would applaud after each segment.
The fan clips were great, one of the women, Miriam was in the audience, and Stevie gave her the Wayne's World, we're not worthy bow from the stage in the Q & A, a moment, I am sure she will remember forever. A soldier's clip on how her album saved him and helped him cope while serving, listening to it every day, very touching. There were so many great moments, it would take me all day to write it all. The best was really seeing Stevie reveling in her status of Rock and Roll Queen and legend, the stories told, the work accomplished and the life that she has lead on her own terms, her own rules, incredibly smart, strong, creative, and so so funny. We were all in awe, I'll never forget it. There is magic.....all around you...... every time you walk in the room.
Thank you Val for your write-up/photos and for sending it in!

Stevie Nicks on Film: 'The World Used to Give You More of a Chance'
Fleetwood Mac memories were in the air on Sunday as the legendary lead singer showed the world her new music documentary at the Hamptons Film Festival.
Northfork Patch
Since the early '70s, iconic songstress Stevie Nicks has been living and sharing her dreams through music that has touched a universal nerve over the years — even if you're not a fan of Nicks or Fleetwood Mac, you've heard the mega hits like "Dreams," "Landslide," and "Stand Back" on the radio, on the jukebox, or over the P.A. at the grocery store.
As part of the Hamptons Film Festival, Nicks shared her thoughts about her sweeping musical career and her latest solo album, entitled "In Your Dreams," to a lively audience at the Bay Street Theater in Sag Harbor on Sunday afternoon before the debut of a music documentary that chronicles the making of the album.
"The world used to give you more of a chance — they might not like everything on your album, but they might like some of it, so they're going to listen to all of it," she said during a Q&A session at the Bay Street.
Nicks and longtime musical soul mate, guitarist Lindsey Buckingham, took the love of album-based songwriting to new heights right out of the gate with "Buckingham Nicks," an acoustic-driven songfest that is still available only in its original 1973 vinyl form — much to the chagrin of a few fans from Westhampton Beach who stood in line outside of the theater with that very album in hand Sunday morning.

INTERVIEW: Stevie Nicks On Making "In Your Dreams" And The Hamptons
By Nicole B. Brewer and Nicole Barylski
After a ten year hiatus legendary songwriter Stevie Nicks is back with her latest album "In Your Dreams" and a rockumentary, produced by the Eurythmics' Dave Stewart, of the same name. "When you see it you are going to be living in my world for one hour and forty minutes," said Nicks during our recent interview. The 'gypsy' is in the Hamptons this weekend for the 20th Hamptons International Film Festival. We sat down with her at The Maidstone on a gorgeous fall afternoon to get the scoop.
"It was the best year of my life! I have never had so much fun in my life," exclaimed Nicks as we sat in the garden and talked about nail polish a bit before our interview officially began. She prefers OPI Big Apple Red and does her nails herself saying as we settled in, "If I wasn't doing this I'd be a manicurist!"
The "In Your Dreams" album was ten years in the making and all started with 9/11 explained Nicks, "I went on the road at the end of June with 'Trouble in Shangri-La'. I had been on the road for two and a half months, which is nothing and then 9/11 happened. So for all practical purposes the record and everything blew up." Nicks was in New York by herself set to enjoy her one day off on that fateful day, her band was in Canada getting ready for the next leg of the tour. "I went to bed at 7:30 p.m.," she went on to say, "and when [my assistant] Karen woke me up at 11 a.m. the world had changed."
Ever generous to her devoted fans, Nicks stayed on the road for another month because "no one had turned their tickets in or asked for refunds." She went on the "Say You Will" tour with Fleetwood Mac in 2002, then again on her own in 2003 and 2004. During that time she kept pondering writing and another record but the music industry was in flux and piracy was a hot topic. Her advisors told her to enjoy touring and wait. Nicks says her managers told her, "You're a songwriter, you create the song it's yours, you write the poem, and you put it out. [Then] one person buys it and sends it out to 500 personal friends and they send it out to their friends. You are a songwriter this is how you make money. What we recommend is you go back on the road because you can still do big shows and sell tickets. A lot of people can't." So she did.
Inspiration for "In Your Dreams" happened quite unexpectedly in 2009 while on tour with Fleetwood Mac in Australia. "I saw the second 'Twilight' movie and wrote 'Moonlight (A Vampire's Dream)' right then." Nicks told us, "There was a piano in my suite and I said to my assistant Karen, I am ready to make a record now. I don't care what is going on around me I'm doing it. If nobody wants it or everybody steals it I will have to deal with that then."
As soon as she got off tour she called Dave Stewart and asked him if he wanted to work with her to produce. He jumped right in. "Dave came up [to my house] to spend one day discussing it and I said why don't we do it here. We don't have to go into the studio and pay $2,500 per day. He said, 'let's do it.'" Vamping a bit and mimicking her dear friend and collaborator she went on, "By the third day he said, 'Darling we have to film this.' And I said, 'Darling do you know what that means?' Now this guy dresses up every day and loves it." Nicks is not in full stage dress and makeup at home, she likes a more casual look. For her the thought of cameras every day meant hair, makeup, and wardrobe which caused some hesitation. She relented when he reassured her, "He said if you don't love it, we won't use it. I said, 'Hand to God?' and he promised 'Swear to God.'" But he didn't get off that easy. "Fair enough," she told him, "But I will hunt you down and kill you if any of it gets out and I don't like it."
From there they filmed for a year and in her words, "Had the best time." Stewart's team then edited a year of her life down to three hours. Later the film would be cut to a final hour and forty minutes. "We finished just two weeks ago," said Nicks, "With that kind of thing it's like 'no you can't have it it's not done yet.'" When they finally handed it in and realized the film was complete Nicks was "in tears and I said 'take it.' It's like your child."
Regarding the genius that is Dave Stewart, Nicks went on to gush a bit, "He is an amazing photographer. He's been filming women for years. With Annie Lennox, he is the reason she cut off all her hair. He was behind all of this amazing stuff, I didn't even know." On "In Your Dreams," Nicks says he gave everyone Flip cameras and said, "Everyone film and we will see what we come up with. If it doesn't make sense or is an 'Alice In Wonderland' bewitched world we won't put it up. If we love it we will let people have it." It was an "easy thing to do because Dave made it into a no big deal thing."
Having only been in and out of the Hamptons a mere three times for benefits over the years Nicks is looking forward to enjoying the film festival weekend in Sag Harbor with friends. So if you notice a familiar looking blonde with a crescent moon necklace window shopping next to you on Main Street take time for a second look, it might just be the Stevie Nicks, star of "In Your Dreams" and 140 million album selling Rock and Roll Hall of Fame legend.
• Get up close and personal with Stevie Nicks at Bay Street Theatre on Sunday, October 7, 2012, at noon for a "Conversation With Stevie Nicks" presented by Capital One. Catch a screening of "In Your Dreams" during the Hamptons International Film Festival this weekend at the Sag Harbor Cinema also on Sunday, October 7, 2012, at 3:00 p.m. For details check out www.hamptonsfilmfest.org

Stevie Nicks discusses her first film at the Hamptons International Film Festival
By Rafer Guzman
The Hamptons received a visit from California rock royalty Thursday night when Stevie Nicks drove into town. On Friday afternoon, Nicks, the face of Fleetwood Mac and a solo artist in her own right, began granting interviews to discuss her first film "In Your Dreams: Stevie Nicks."
The documentary chronicles the making of her 2011 album, "In Your Dreams," which was produced by Dave Stewart (of Eurythmics) and Glenn Ballard. It became the singer's fifth album to enter Billboard's Top Ten.
Stewart and Nicks co-directed the film, which will have its world premiere 3 p.m. Sunday at the Regal Southampton. Nicks will also be interviewed before a live audience earlier that day at 1 p.m. at the Bay Street Theater in Sag Harbor.
Nicks, 64, sat poolside at the Maidstone hotel to talk about her first film and her first-time jitters. Here's an edited version of the conversation.
How did you choose the Hamptons festival for your world premiere?
I can't tell you that, because I honestly don't know. I've never been to a film festival. I've heard of Sundance and Cannes, but I've never gone to them, so I really have no idea.
So who made the decision?
Probably Liz [Rosenberg, powerhouse publicist, relaxing in a deck-chair nearby]. Dave and his people spent all last year editing the film, probably 10 to 11 months, down to 3 hours. And then on Feb. 1, me and Dave's editor and my assistant Karen [Johnston], we started editing at my house. So we edited for four months to take it from 3 hours down to an hour-40. I've been on tour, editing, on tour, editing. So really this has all come very fast. I was just told by the powers that be that the Hamptons film festival was fantastic, and that I was lucky enough to have been asked. I'm thrilled to be here, because I've never really gotten to spend any time here. I'm not leaving till Monday.
Are you coming to see the film?
I'll be the one cowering in the dark, with my hands over my eyes. I'll be all the way in the back row.

Molds require routine maintenance- some after every run or in the middle of a long run. Molds break due to fatigue. Molds crash, injector pins bend, springs snap, water lines leak, heaters wear out. All of these things are part of the natural life cycle of a mold. To fix these issues requires a tool maker to take the mold apart, diagnosing the problem and repairing the mold. Repairing the mold often means making new core pins, new cavities, polishing or remaking inserts. This requires a mold manufacturing facility or toolroom that is capable to work quickly to get your process back up.
Finding a capable toolroom facility that not only understands your tool and how it works, but can get you back up and running in the shortest time possible can be difficult. Time is money. Many manufacturing facilities typically outsource toolmakers, which costs time in transportation and coordinating repair time. These toolrooms utilize equipment such as: wire edm, plunge edm, grinders, high-speed milling machines. Many times the need for new design work from a CAD system is required to make the repair or to improve the tool so less repair is needed in the future.
Here at Plastics One we have both an on site 24-hour tool shop and a design team. Our toolmakers and design engineers work hand in hand to ensure that your molds are always running smoothly and efficiently and are built to required specifications. We have the latest equipment: multiple wire EDMs, plunge EDM, multiple grinders and milling machines. By having your molding, toolroom and design on premise lead-time is cut to a minimum as is any transportation cost. By offering all three under one roof scheduling is not an issue and we can expedite your mold as needed.

Featured Book of the Week
Tenkill
by Shannon Kirk
A lawyer on the run from her own firm. Can she uncover their secrets in time to save herself?
Greta Vinet Seville, E-Discovery Counsel and Deputy General Counsel at the international law firm of Coarse & Cotton, finds herself on the run from her own firm after absconding with firm data to conduct her investigation, and enlists a diverse cast of friends and experts to help her comb through the mountains of data that confirms a trail of corruption that has shaped generations.
Her off-the-books, rag-tag legal team includes a genius litigation technology professional, a possibly psychopathic (but effective) summer associate, an AP investigative reporter, a classical painting art restorer, Greta's philosophy professor brother, and Greta's love interest, a compliance attorney at Tenkill. Romance, action, technology law, corruption are all explored, and married with Greta's personal backstory about a renegade, vigilante aunt who's been on the run for decades and fighting her own politically-charged battles.
They create a make-shift war room in a historic Salem, Massachusetts home, and their pursuit of more evidence leads them in action-packed chases around Boston…and a massive hospital—Tenkill—that is at the center of the corruption. But this investigation is like no other Greta has ever conducted, as people who have millions to lose and careers to ruin have and will kill to keep what she seeks to uncover secret.
A surrealist thriller for fans of early John Grisham, with an all-female-led cast, and a secret at the end that will shake you to your core.

Brentford at Home – Prawn Sandwich
January 18, 2015 May 9, 2015 / brightononlyathome	/ 1 Comment
When we're talking Modern Football there's nothing that quite vexes me like corporate hospitality. Those two words go along with "the football" as well as "new iPhone" goes with "bath full of lemonade". And yet it doesn't. These days it is what keeps many clubs going if we're honest. The Albion have just posted the sort of corporate finance figures that show that, while David Burke did go, Tony will never get rid of Paul Barber. Having been a harsh critic on these pages you have to tip your hat to that sort of financial performance. It may even mean we can get some new players, because the squad depth was badly exposed again yesterday, but without the revenues from the lounges the rest of us would be watching worse football still. Or no football.
So what exactly was my dilemma? I belong on a terrace wearing Adidas trainers. And some other stuff, obviously, otherwise I'd be freezing and get arrested. But the trainers are the thing. I literally cannot remember the last time I have been to a game and not worn them. Perhaps a mid week game when I had to come straight from work. I'm not sure. However, in the 1901 Club they are verboten. There is a collar and shoes dress code. When I was younger I made it a rule to avoid night clubs that had similar dress codes for the fairly obvious reason that they were rubbish, overpriced lager palaces with terrible music and erection sections. But not quite all the time. When certain friends wanted to go then I did because being with my friends was more important than my musical and drinking prejudices. This is how I found myself in the 1901 yesterday, and before that dressing in a shirt and shoes for the football. Because a very good friend had free lounge passes. Free is my favourite price. And my very good friend shares a love of football, music, food, drinking and banter. A reminder that sometimes it's good to break your own rules.
It was coincidental that The Boy was missing his first Saturday home game of the season, due to a birthday party on the other side of Sussex. So we had a boys day, a jolly boys outing, a day on the sauce. If you are looking for an insightful and factual account of the game I would stop right now. The painful irony is that yesterday I had the best view I have ever had of a football match and yet I can barely remember most of it. An opportunity wasted. Literally.
We started with the best of intentions. We were back to mine after the game for curry and wine with our wives and so we thought we'd take it easily. That, frankly, lasted until we got to The Cyclist and my friend had drained his Cruzcampo almost before we'd sat down. And, if you can't beat them, join them. The night before we had played badminton together and my friend had said his dad was meeting us at the ground. "You'll like my dad. He likes drinking." Before I could even meet Dad however Dick's Bar had worked its magic and drawn us in, as if it were one of Brighton's more interesting and bohemian pubs rather than a strip lit bar at a football ground. Two down we met my friend's dad and his mate and went to the lounge. Now we were four.
Four is the ideal number for drinking in rounds. I'm sure I'm preaching to the converted here. Two can and do drink in rounds of course but it's not a proper round. It's two friends at a pub. With three of you there is a tricky decision to be made as to if you stop at three pints or move on to a much more dangerous six. But with four of you a pleasant afternoon can be whiled away over beers without getting either too wasted or staying too sober. Only, of course, we'd already had a couple.
So what can I say about that ultimate evil necessity The Lounge? Well, it was very nice. You can see instantly why people do it. No queues. A proper knife and fork for your pie. Alan Mullery lurking silverly in the background. Glass glasses. BRANDED glasses. As I imagined the bulk of my friends battling in on a train bantering with the large away support, or struggling through traffic on their coach, I was sat with a proper pint in a proper glass round a table that wasn't unlike the ones you get at dinners at smart hotels. When I went to get my round in the young girl behind the bar looked distraught when I ordered two Harveys. "I'm terribly sorry" she sighed "but do you mind them in Guinness glasses as we're out of Harvey's ones?" She looked like she was about to sob. I resisted the temptation to yell "ACTUALLY YES, I DO MIND. WHAT HAS THIS PLACE COME TO? NO BRANDED GLASSES? BRING ME PAUL BARBER SO I CAN DICTATE AN IMMEDIATE EMAIL TO HIS FACE!" Instead I just said "that will be fine". And smiled at her. The poor love seemingly had no idea that I can usually spend over 10 minutes queuing only to find no beer or pie at all.
Just as the lounge is lovely so are the seats. An amazing view, right behind the managers. The seats even wider. Even more padded. And that's where it gets a bit hazy. Brentford seemed to have more of the ball. We seemed to have the better chances. They scored from their only chance of the first half via a massive deflection. We squandered a couple of good ones, Calde shooting straight at the keeper when through on the angle. Brentford played the sort of high line that a decent striker combined with a linesman who knows the rules should be exposing over and over. We had neither.
And here's why I love football. Whether you are in the best seats in the house in your best shirt or behind the goal in your trainers and other stuff you will have an opinion on the game. That opinion will be strong whether you are a member of a Temperance Society or, frankly, quite pissed. Mine, and my friend's dad was that we had generally been the better side and had been unlucky. My friend's (and Mark who I normally sit with agrees with this) was that we were poor. Very poor. I'm offering both sides because, honestly, when it comes down to it, yesterday was a day out on the piss more than it was a sporting occasion. And there's nothing "modern football" about that, it's what I did for years.
Ipswich At Home – Another Bad Day at the Office
March 23, 2014 May 9, 2015 / brightononlyathome	/ Leave a comment
I was thinking what to call this report and I thought 'bad day at the office' had it covered. I also had the nasty suspicion I would have used it before this season so I did a quick search and guess what? I had used it for Ipswich away. That report had been garnered from a mixture of listening to the radio, reading reports , talking to friends and watching the highlights so, to be fair, it was a bit of a punt (yes that was deliberately spelled with a P, we're not on to talking about Johnny Williams yet). Yet I watched all the game yesterday and it seemed an apt enough description. But given it applies to both Ipswich games perhaps there's a bit more to it. I shall return to this at the end.
Where to start with this game? Unbridled optimism, that's where. We came in to it on the back of two 2-0 wins. The Boy has recently started playing football. He broke his leg when he was three in a trampoline accident. It zapped his confidence, making him think everything would hurt and has left him with an unusual running style. I have never been able to teach him football and yet the coaches at his club have shown a remarkable improvement in him in only three weeks. They are miracle workers. They are also Brighton fans. So are a few of the dads. The feeling at Saturday morning's training was that we were in for another win. So while they might be miracle workers don't ask them for the lottery numbers.
On Twitter everyone seemed confident. There hadn't been a doom and gloom thread on NSC for seemingly ages. On the train over it emerged that lovely Billy Davies was being smashed by his old club in the Brian Clough derby. There was a chance a win in the afternoon would put us in the playoff places. Plus I had my lucky hat with me. The hat that mesmerised QPRs millionaires in to a team that couldn't shoot for toffee. Game on.
Also, there's nothing like beer to raise your confidence levels. Different things need different beer levels I find. I am an excellent pool player after two pints. After three my darts skillz are at their peak (I'll never quite forget that reverse 120 checkout with pike at the Three Jolly Botchers the second the last of the third pint of Old Grunter hit the spot). Five pints is necessary for me to talk sense and about eight is sufficient for talking to a girl or strangers which is why I spent most of my twenties single and friendless.
Two pints is ideal to give you confidence that Brighton will win a football match and so I took my seat knowing, just knowing, we were about to smash the Tractor Boys. Sure, after the first pint I had predicted a 1-0 loss but now I was at optimum. Oh dear.
Ipswich are big and organised, the sort of side we often struggle against. Each deficiency in our game was mercilessly exposed. I will now conduct my match report in the form of going through how our players were exposed (or not in just a couple of cases). PIG's distribution was again terrible, two of his kicks could easily have set up another Ipswich goal. He was also at fault for their goal, showing a Brezovan-esque lack of wanting to come and claim a corner. Lingard was a powder puff, constantly knocked off the ball and panicking when clean through on goal because he could hear a defender somewhere. The real Rohan Ince was off helping Chuck Norris save the world so he sent along his twin brother Simon who spent the afternoon giving the ball away. Ulloa was constantly offside, either mistiming runs or making ones which were too good for the rest of the team. JFC was average. Again. Bruno played some sublime passes but also picked up another silly booking. Ipswich's second goal came from an area that any decent right back would have dealt with.
Positives? Upson and Greer were mostly solid (but shame about the first goal). Andrews showed why he had replaced Stephens. But if you could pick out a MOM (and it was hard) it would have been Stephen Ward who looked untroubled at left back and regularly set Lingard away to get knocked over. Ipswich? You have to say they took their goals well and they rarely looked in trouble.
*spits feathers*
Afterwards I went down to the West Lower bar for the traditional putting the world to rights over beer. "It was Garcia's fault" said friend one (though you could substitute the names Poyet and McGhee in his analysis after almost any defeat under those managers). Maybe today he had a point? Certainly for someone who is 'obsessed by attacking football' we don't do a lot of it. I theorised that perhaps we don't have players who are quite good enough to carry out the instructions of a manager who has spent more or less all his career around Barcelona and Johan Cruyff. This is Brighton not Brazil. Someone else said the same thing had been suggested of Roy Keane's managerial career. What is certain is that, just when we seem to be on a run that will finally make a difference we blow it. We are inconsistent, frustrating and, at home, too defensive. Eighth place looks a certainty.
As I walked back to Falmer station after an entertaining conversation that had at least cheered me up another thought occurred. Ipswich had done the double on us and done it comfortably. Perhaps Mick McCarthy had our number. After all, if I was an Ipswich blogger I would have described the game as a good day at the office.

Q: Gulp generate manifest files for existing files I'm trying to automatically generate manifest files with gulp, but can't find how to get filename, modify it and send it forward through pipe.
var fs = require('fs');
var content = 'test';
gulp.src('./wwwroot/**/*.file')
    .pipe(fs.writeFileSync(??? , content))
    .pipe(gulp.dest('./wwwroot/')); // should be same as original file

Where ??? on 4th line is, I'd like to have filename.file.manifest.
Code above is more of an idea, since gulp.dest and fs both write file.

A: Not with pipes, but nonetheless a nice solution using node glob
var content = 'test'

glob("./wwwroot/**/*.file", null, function(er, files) {
    if(er)
        return;

    files.forEach(function(element) {
        var manifestFile = element + '.manifest';
        fs.writeFileSync(manifestFile, content);
        console.log("Generated: " + element);

Health informatics — Integration of a reference terminology model for nursing
The purpose of ISO 18104:2003 is to establish a nursing reference terminology model consistent with the goals and objectives of other specific health terminology models in order to provide a more unified reference health model. This International Standard includes the development of reference terminology models for nursing diagnoses and nursing actions and relevant terminology and definitions for its implementation.
The potential uses for this reference terminology model are to
support the intensional definition of nursing diagnosis and nursing action concepts reflective of a broad range of roles and practice settings,
facilitate the representation of nursing diagnosis and nursing action concepts and their relationships in a manner suitable for computer processing,
provide a framework for the generation of compositional expressions from atomic concepts within a reference terminology,
facilitate the construction of nursing terminologies in a regular form which will make mapping among them easier,
facilitate the mapping among nursing diagnosis and nursing action concepts from various terminologies including those developed as interface terminologies and statistical classifications,
enable the systematic evaluation of terminologies and associated terminology models for purposes of harmonization, and
provide a language to describe the structure of nursing diagnosis and nursing action concepts in order to enable appropriate integration with other reference terminology models and with information models.

The Acquisition Community of Change (Acquisition CoC) is established by the Senior Executives Association (SEA) and is led by SEA members. The Acquisition CoC, within the limits of this Charter, and under the supervision of the SEA Board of Directors, works collaboratively with SEA members and key stakeholders to develop programs and policies that improve the overall effectiveness of senior executives and other leaders within the Federal government.
The Acquisition CoC is designed to be a secure platform from which SEA members and key stakeholders are able to effectively collaborate. The overall goal is to create an environment where SEA members and stakeholders are confident that their opinions are valued and will be included as part of the overall SEA Strategic Plan.
SEA members who participate in the Acquisition CoC will do so in his or her individual, non-official capacity, not while on duty, unless otherwise authorized by his or her employing agency. None of the reports, studies or other work products of the CoC are to be viewed as official SEA documents until approved by the SEA Board of Directors.
The CoC will explore creating a Capability Maturity Model for the acquisition world, similar to what exists for IT acquisition community.
Inform the SEA Board of Directors about important policy issues affecting the acquisition community.
Provide a platform from which SEA members can learn about acquisition practices and programs that will enable members to be more effective in their jobs and careers.
Develop a long-term strategy that sustains the CoC in the long-term.
The Acquisition CoC will be co-chaired by two SEA members, one of whom must be a current career SES. The SEA Board of Directors will make the initial appointments of CoC co-chairs, who will serve two-year terms. Following these initial appointments, the membership of the CoC will vote at the SEA Annual Conference for new chairs on a biannual basis.
The CoC will meet at least quarterly and will provide regular updates to the SEA Board of Directors about activities and progress toward CoC goals. An official Acquisition CoC business meeting will be held during the Annual SEA Conference.

X-ray absorption spectroscopy.
Extended X-ray Absorption Fine Structures (EXAFS). The technique exploits the fact that X-ray absorption is unique for each atom in its chemical surroundings. The absorption is measured as a function of wavelength (l) or energy (E) of the X-ray radiation.
The excited atom can relax through several mechanisms, giving rise to fluorescence, Auger electrons or secondary electrons.
Thus, the absorption spectra as a function of energy photon energy has spikes each time the photon energy reaches the binding energy of a given shell.
The cross-section for absorption can be expressed using Fermi's golden rule:
W ~ < phi final | H' | phi initial >
H' is the perturbation introduced by the electro-magnetic field of the photon. Phi initial is the initial state, where the electron is bound in the atomic potential. Phi final is the final state of the electron. If the atom has no neighbours it is considered to be a spherical wave. A neighbouring atom will cause scattering and, thereby, modify the final state of the electron. The result of differing final states is the EXAFS spectrum.
Taking various circumstances into consideration the a master formula can be written:
This describes the absorption as a function of the length of the wavevector |k| = 2p/l. The sum considers the number of atoms Ni with a distance Ri to the centre atom. Fi(k) is the scattering amplitude. Si is the Debye-Waller factor describing the motion of neighbouring atoms. lm is the mean path of the electron, the length the electron travels before it is scattered. The sinus term gives the phase difference, the first term is the phase from the propagating wave, whereas the second term is a phase function related to the changing potential. From the expression it is possible to derive atomic distances and the co-ordination numbers.
The measuring principle is simple. The energy (wavelength) is scanned in a range just below the absorption edge to around 1000 eV above the edge. Two ionisation chambers are needed; one placed in front of the sample and one behind. Often three chambers is used. The gas in the ionisation chamber is ionised by a fraction of the X-ray. The ionised gas atoms produce a current, which is measured. To obtain the EXAFS spectre the signal from chamber two is normalised to the signal from chamber one.
