text: 3 Hotels That Make Us Want to Redecorate (And How to Do It!)\\nWhen you want something more specific to channel than just a color scheme, take a peak at one of these trendy hotels, where the aesthetic has us feeling pretty inspired to makeover our own digs.\\nPool parties are pumping all week long at this South Beach hot spot, but there's just as much modern luxury to balance out the quirky fun-loving attributes at the beachside oasis. Think brightly colored animal heads and surfboards on the walls, rainbow hued bungee chairs, and the new nautical palette—sunshine yellow against teal and white stripes.\\nThese chairs do double duty—you can take them out on the deck, like their home at the Surfcomber, but we love them against a plain white wall as a conversation piece for the room.\\n\\n$250, [CB2](http://m.cb2.com/acapulco-multi-lounge-chair/f9509)\\nIt might not be practical to have life-sized cow statues decorating your lawn like The Surfcomber's pool deck, but these coat hooks are just as fun (and take up way less space!)\\n\\n$15, [CB2](http://www.cb2.com/wall-decor/accessories/clarabell-coat-hook/f9317)\\nTone down bright colors and funky decor elements by grounding a room with a mod black and white rug. The black softens the look while the pattern maintains the fresh and young feeling of the rest of the room.\\n\\n$188, [Apt2B](http://www.apt2b.com/home-decor/rugs/lakewood-area-rug-black)\\nThe one of a kind artwork at every turn in Surfcomber makes the spaces feel fresh and intimate. Keep the sun and the sea close to you with this print in Surfcomber's signature colors.\\n\\n$65, [Fab](http://fab.com/product/the-sun-the-sea-canvas-wrap-470420/?pref%5B%5D=attr%7Chappy-art&ref=browse&pos=0)\\nIt doesn't get any more contemporary than this Times Square hotel, which bills itself as an affordable trendy boutique hotel. Normally, we'd never recommend a stay in Times Square (trust us, we work here!) but free wifi and movies on demand, 24/7 room service, a living room-like lobby, a rooftop bar you'll want to revisit and AMAZING decor has convinced us that this is NYC's coolest new hotel. The Dutch-based hotel chain brings European style stateside with clean, smart designs and space efficiency.\\nWe dig the stylish Vitra furniture throughout CitizenM, but these red bistro chairs are a budget-friendly pick, plus, they're the same ones used outdoors in Times Square and Bryant Park, so you're bringing a piece of the city indoors.\\n\\n$216 for 2, [Horne](http://shophorne.com/content/french-bistro-folding-chair-set-2?gclid=CjkKEQjwzv-cBRD_oY2PouKVvMIBEiQAKuGNC16foyjG820uWgR86Mjsu99NClTilBBRCwKzthVDoSHw_wcB)\\nThis Marimekko wallpaper encapsulates the CitzenM mission: focus on the people. in signature CitizenM colors, it will also make you feel like you're in the heart of Times Square—surrounded by people.\\n\\n$150, [All Modern](http://www.allmodern.com/deals-and-design-ideas/p/Primary-School%3A-Bold-Dining-Ystavat-Figural-Wallpaper-in-Red-%26-White~MKK1215~E11916.html)\\nThe simple round and oval furniture in guests' rooms at CitizenM acts as a reminder that toned down decor can be even just as elegant as more complicated design.\\n\\n$250, [Crate&Barrel](http://www.crateandbarrel.com/arch-white-oval-nightstand/s651797)\\nTurn your living room into a dreamy and relaxing haven with versatile origami lanterns that can stand alone or be used with a bulb. Group them together and hang from the ceiling for the ultimate effect.\\n\\n$29, [Fab](http://fab.com/product/moon-lantern-white-429925/?ref=browse&pos=2)\\nProving that pattern on pattern is always a good thing, we're in awe of the gorgeous mixing of lush textiles at this Sante Fe gem. The hotel is actually a collection of adobe buildings with mud walls, but the ultra-luxe feeling you get when looking at the interior blend of Native American, Moroccan and Spanish influences will lead you to forget where you actually are. The Inn owners are world renowned designers that developed their East meets West style through many years of working with artisans in Afghanistan and Central Asia.\\nUnadorned walls are a thing of the past with rich, bold tapestries. If you're hanging it in the living room, make sure the pattern contrasts with your couch and rug, but that they all have some colors in common. Hanging above the bed? Pick a bedspread from a different region for the perfect mashup.\\n\\n$200, [World Market](http://www.worldmarket.com/product/rangoli-sunrise-tapestry-wall-hanging.do?&from=fn)\\nMatchy-matchy pillows are predictable—grab three from different cultures to give your couch a facelift.

Tuck away a dozen teal vases in varying shapes and sizes throughout your apartment or house to unify the rooms and add unexpected sunniness everywhere.\\n\\n$60-70, [Z Gallerie](http://www.zgallerie.com/p-15413-aurora-vase.aspx?cm_mmc=houzz-_-ppc-_-single-product-_-Aurora%20Vase&?utm_source=houzz&utm_medium=single-product&utm_content=Aurora%20Vase&utm_campaign=ppc&hz_source=ppc)\\nEmbossed glass hanging lanterns in shades to match your living room decor will give a warm glow when lit, but look just as good laying on a bookshelf to bring color to a dark space.\\n\\n$12-50, [World Market](http://www.worldmarket.com/product/warm+multicolor+sabita+embossed+glass+hanging+lanterns.do?&from=fn)

NAPA — The toll from four full-pads practices against the 49ers on Tuesday and Wednesday manifested itself in 21 players missing practice Thursday.
Twelve of the 21 are projected starters. Needless to say, practice wasn't as crisp as normal.
"Both sides got a little lethargic there at the end," coach Tom Cable said.
The 49ers also got to some of the Raiders with the disparaging comments they made during the Wednesday morning practice, when the 49ers intercepted four passes in a red-zone drill.
"I heard (cornerback) Nate Clements say something about we weren't on their level and all that (stuff)," offensive tackle Khalif Barnes said. "I beg to differ. "… They had one good day, but it doesn't mean that they can beat their chests and walk around like they're the best in the Bay."

About a week and a half ago, I was invited to the press conference for Innovadora Tijuana's Batalla Culinaria. The event will feature regional chefs from both sides of the border. Mixed teams of San Diego and Tijuana chefs will battle it out using products provided by Baja California's abundant oceans, mountains and valleys. There will be three competitions altogether: Men, Women, and Pastries, and oh yes, there WILL be secret ingredients revealed at each challenge. From the mostly polite smack talk on the stage at the press conference, I'd say the event will pan out to be quite the food fight!
Marie Tahan Daniels wrote all about the Batalla Culinaria event on her blog, Cur8eaur.
After the conference, I was invited to follow along with the uber talented Chef Chad White (Comun Kitchen & Tavern in East Village and La Justina in Tijuana) to visit some of his favorite spots in TJ. I have to admit... I was skeptical. Although he has a restaurant there, I still wondered, "Does this gringo really know TJ?" He took us to a little taco stand behind the Hipodromo that I pass by it all the time on the road to my aunt and uncle's house. It's never empty, which is always a good sign no matter what language you're speaking.
After parking in a semi-legal spot that I promised the man I blocked in that I'd move from if necessary, I sat at a stool next to Chef Chad and listened to his recommendations. He clearly knew his street tacos. I asked him how long he'd been coming down to Baja. Apparently, all his life. My skepticism began to fade.
I ordered my favorite, the Lengua (cow tongue) then moved on to the Buche (pork stomach) that Chef Chad recommended. Washed down with a bottle of Fanta, it was the perfect way to start our food tour. Not having been back to Tijuana in over a month, I could barely resist ordering uno mas, but we had a few more stops to make and I needed to pace myself.
Our next stop was Don Esteban's, where we had a mouthwatering Mulita. To make a Mulita, the taquero begins by warming a tortilla and adding cheese as he would a quesadilla warming it on the grill as well as by placing it under the grill and directly on top of hot coals (al carbon). Closing the grill top allows for the tortilla and cheese to soak in the smokiness of the fire. The taco is brought back on to the grill where a strip of New York steak is placed on top of the melted cheese. Add a scoop of frijoles and a few slices of avocado and Ai Dios Mio... you're in heaven.
As much as we were enjoying all the street fare, we were driving around on one of the hottest days of the year, so we decided to head in doors to an air conditioned place that possibly served alcohol. Chef took us to El Dandy, an old local dive bar off La Revu. If you were under 21 and lived in Southern California in the 90's, you spent some time in this part of town. We had a couple of Micheladas (and possibly some shots of tequila) before we got back on our food tour.
The next stop was El Taller (translation: The Warehouse). This restaurant is one of the new wave of Baja Med eateries popping up all over Tijuana and Ensenada. It has a cool reuse/recycle decor theme with a fresh, happy yellow accent color on the chairs and flowers. Natural light streams in from the rafters and rooftop fans keep the hot air flowing out. The open kitchen features a beautiful woodfire oven that was hand tiled by the owner's brother.
Chef Chad ordered a few aperitivos for the group to sample a bit of the offerings on the abundant menu. We had roasted beets with goat cheese, some pulpo ceviche, one of their many gourmet pizzas, and my favorite plate, the Lengua Carpaccio. I do love me some cow tongue. Mmmm, mmmm, MMMM!!!
Afterwards, we went to a cute little hole-in-the-wall cafe. It's seriously a hole built out in the corner wall of a building. That's something you'll see a lot of in TJ and Ensenada. People will create a space anywhere and literally carve out a living. It's one of the many things I love about my TJ.
The barista at this chic little cafe knew her beans and was able to offer suggestions of specialty roasts other than your typical Grande McOrder of MochaLatteChino. My delicate Machiatto capped off the delicious day for Marie and myself. The rest of the group went on to enjoy La Justina. After seeing the pictures the rest of the group posted later that day, I regretted not sticking around for more. But my belly was full and Marie and I had to get home to our families. Alas, we have promised each other to return very soon!
I have to say, I really appreciated seeing the city of my birth through the eyes of a Gringo that knows it and loves it as much as a real Tijuanero. Chad is definitely a Chilango at heart. And now that the construction at the border is finally complete, the border wait is back down to an average of twenty minutes. This means two things: A) I WILL be tasting the La Justina goodness very soon, and B) more fun tasting days back in Baja!

Hi Guys!
I firstly and foremostly would like to thank my gracious hostess, Yahaira, for inviting me to guest blog today!
I'm making this post to dispel any myths that have been building up since my blog went "password protect."
My web designer is doing a MAJOR overhaul of the site. She's combining the shop site and the blog site into one and putting them on a new server/web host. And, apparently, it's necessary for her to do some of that work while the site is "live," and without outside input like comments or even counts on the hit counter…Not being a web-tech-savvy person myself, that's my layperson's idea of what's going on.
I've been working away, getting ready for TNNA. We've (I say 'we' b/c my mom retired and is working with me now, and is actually even driving out to San Diego with me) got a whole bunch of new stuff to release as soon as we get back! I've got several new patterns…check the ads in the upcoming Spring Interweave Knits for one of the latest. (Also look for a pattern from me in the MAIN part of the mag as well!)
We're going to start offering kits, so that you can buy the yarn and the pattern in one convenient stop…just like 7-11! (We had a waitress in Baltimore once that tried to entice us to try the nachos because the new cheese was "just like 7-11 cheese!") So now when anything is "just like" anything else…it's "just like 7-11 cheese!"
We've also got all the patterns reformatted and cool-looking, with artwork that will match the new site…
SO…all this reconfiguring and updating is taking us some time, and apparently means that we are working behind closed doors…but we'll be back!!
Thanks for continuing to check back at the site, and for your emails and notes…it's nice to know that you guys are thinking about us!!
Where in the world is Glampyre?
Hi Guys!

Homeschoolers in Asia Carry the Torch
By TEACH ASIA staff
Students and sponsors have traveled all the way from Russia, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Malaysia and Singapore to the exciting 3rd annual TEACH ASIA Student Convention held at Trinity Theological College, Singapore from June 26–30th, 2011. 150 homeschooled students were able to develop and share their God-given talents during these five days. It was a great time of fellowship and encounter with the Lord.
The theme "Carry the Torch" for TASC 2011 was based on Psalm 43:3. "O send out thy light and thy truth: let them lead me ~ Psalm 43:3." We had the privilege of having Mr. Len Stolyarchuk from Russia to share his thoughts about Carrying the Torch during the evening rallies. Mr. Randy Teo, founder of TEACH ASIA wrapped up the meaning of Carrying the Torch on the Wednesday night rally with a special guest speaker, Mr. Gurmit Singh. Mr. Gurmit shared his wonderful testimony and how the Lord has used Him to shine for Him.
In addition to evening rallies and motivational speakers, students also enjoyed great times of badminton, futsal, and track and field events during the week. The program also included a cultural awareness segment.
As organizers of this event, we have enjoyed serving the LORD from the preparations to the days of the convention. It was a blessing to see the lives of the children touched. We can boldly say that this was a victorious and successful 3rd TEACH ASIA Student Convention because of the Lord's presence. May we continue to Carry the Torch and shine for the Lord in the place He has placed us in.
Please visit the TEACH ASIA website for a video and photos from the convention.
TEACH ASIA has 300 enrolled homeschoolers from Macau, China, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Hong Kong, and Jakarta, Indonesia. They provide a legal covering, offer distance learning, use School of Tomorrow/ACE, use English, teach English as second language, provide a network of veteran homeschoolers to help and train others, and have been in the ministry for over 15 years.

This time a week ago I was basking the the Florida sunshine, today I'm fighting blizzard conditions!
Here is a warm and sunny look at Katie and Evan. Katie is a longtime friend of mine who recently hightailed it out of Maine with her boyfriend Evan in search of warmer days! They now call Lakeland, FL home. This 1960's Spanish Hacienda is located in the heart of the Historic Dixieland neighborhood and is surrounded by green leafy palms and oaks that have been there long before anything else. They enjoy afternoons on their front patio manicuring plants and playing the guitar and Katie's dulcimer (which she crafted herself). Seriously, don't you wish you were here right now? Put your sunglasses on!
This last photo is a view of the Airstream Ranch located on i4, naturally we had to do some exploring when we saw these from the highway.
I hope this helped a little bit as cabin fever sets in on this blustery day!

The purpose of this book is to re-orient the current agenda in education towards learning. The recent emphasis has been on achieving standards through managing schools, teachers and the teaching process. But the real purpose of schools was, is, and always will be about learning.
In an increasingly complex, diverse and unpredictable world, it is necessary for schools and those working with them to refocus on learning at all levels - pupils, teachers, leaders, the organisation as a whole and all of the school's partners.
It's About Learning is a clear and well written discussion woven with practical examples and strategies. It also includes an annotated bibliography suggesting useful follow-up reading, and the issues are posed as questions for reflection and discussion.

DESIGNED w/a Consultation
DESIGNED w/a Consultation is an interior design service-offering from DESIGNED w/ Carla Aston that provides interior design direction, as well as answers to any pressing questions you may have regarding your home's environment.
Consultations are completed within 90 minutes and can be performed on-site. All consultations are done only as we can fit them into our schedule. These are very limited. Please contact our studio prior to payment to see if we are able to accommodate your consultation.
Because there is a time limit for each consultation, we both need to be prepared to make the most of every minute we have.
Here's a list outlining how you should prepare for our meeting:
State your goals. Think about your purpose of the space we'll be discussing, as well as the look and feel you want to achieve. Envision your ideal end result and then gather some example images of the things you like and the spaces that speak to the style you'd like to create.
Specify your problems. What design dilemmas can I help you with? Make a list, starting with your most pressing issue, and then continue on down with more items needing to be improved in order of how urgent they are. During the consultation we'll address the items in your list from the top down and go until the time is up.
Think about your scope. You probably want/expect me to come up with ideas that are greater than what you've come up with; but it would be still be helpful for you to give me an idea of how ambitiously you'd like me to think. Do you want me to consider tearing through walls or throwing out all the furniture and starting over with your room? — OR — Do you have specific limitations in mind concerning budget, time frame, and scope? I ask because there's no use for me to come up with grand ideas if there's no way we'll be able to make them happen. On the other hand, also remember: There's no need to think too small either, especially if you happen to have a lot of $$$ hanging around in your back pocket for this project.
Need paint color selections? Let me know beforehand so I can bring my paint decks.
Remember: We only have 90 minutes, so don't get too ambitious. I've covered of a lot of territory in consultations before, but I can't design your whole house this way! :-)
Also Note: If I arrive at your home and we come to the conclusion that you've just got too much to deal with and need to invest in one of my other interior design service offerings, you will only be billed $250 for a get-to-know-you meeting. Soon thereafter we will reconvene and begin working on your project with a more fitting approach.
Is DESIGNED w/a Consultation right for YOU?
It could be If you need more than just a quick question answered in a 30-minute DESIGNED in a Click session...
It could be if now isn't the best time to indulge in a full-service DESIGNED On-Location project...
If all you need is 90-minutes of uninterrupted time with a professional interior designer who can guide you towards your design goals, then yes... DESIGNED w/a Consultation is right for you!

Breast Cancer: allowing all women to get screened
Breast cancer represents the first cause of death for females in all age groups.
Mass screening is the way to reduce Breast cancer mortality rate
Breast cancer represents the first cause of death for females in all age groups.
Mass screening is the way to reduce Breast cancer mortality rate
Our X-rays free mammogram MammoWave uses safe radiofrequency signal in the microwave band, rather than dangerous X-rays.
Our X-rays free mammogram MammoWave examination requires no breast smashing. The examination with MammoWave is performed with the patient lying in a comfortable facing down position.
Our X-rays free mammogram MammoWave, thanks to its effective technology and to its relatively low production costs, can lead to a widespread breast screening, enhancing cancer early detection.
MammoWave, our X-rays free mammogram, uses safe radiofrequency signal in the microwave band to obtain an image of the breast. Microwaves are electromagnetic non-ionizing signals, such as the ones commonly used in mobile communications, thus they are X-rays free. Microwave imaging exploits the contrast in the dielectric properties (permittivity and conductivity) at microwave frequencies of normal and malignant tissues of the breast. MammoWave allows:
MammoWave clinical trials are in progress at Perugia Hospital "Azienda Ospedaliera S. Maria della Misericordia", Italy, and at Foligno Hospital, Italy. MammoWave use for clinical trials was authorized by Italian Ministry of Health and by the Ethical Committee of Regione Umbria, Italy.
The MD clinical trials promoter is Dr. Michele Duranti, director of the Department of Diagnostic Imaging at Perugia Hospital, S. Maria della Misericordia. The MD clinical trials responsible at Foligno Hospital is Dr. Riccardo Loretoni, director ot the Breast Unit.
Clinical trials results obtained up to now show a MammoWave sensitivity > 90%. Clinical trials results have been presented at international conferences, including IEEE 2016 International Conference on Imaging Systems and Techniques and IET LAPC 2017

All questions and answers are based on the 2011 NEC.
Q. What is the Code requirement for the interrupting protection rating of overcurrent devices?
A. Overcurrent devices, such as circuit breakers and fuses, are intended to interrupt the circuit, and they must have an interrupting rating not less than the nominal circuit voltage and the current that's available at the line terminals of the equipment [110.9]. See the definition of "Interrupting Rating" in Art. 100. Unless marked otherwise, the ampere interrupting rating for circuit breakers is 5,000A [240.83(C)], and for fuses it's 10,000A [240.60(C)(3)].
Available short circuit current is the current, in amperes, available at a given point in the electrical system. This available short circuit current is first determined at the secondary terminals of the utility transformer. Thereafter, the available short circuit current is calculated at the terminals of service equipment, then at branch circuit panelboards and other equipment. The available short circuit current is different at each point of the electrical system. It's highest at the utility transformer and lowest at the branch circuit load. The available short circuit current depends on the impedance of the circuit. The greater the circuit impedance (utility transformer and the additive impedances of the circuit conductors), the lower the available short circuit current, as shown in Fig. 1.
The factors that affect the available short circuit current at the utility transformer include the system voltage, the transformer kVA rating, and the circuit impedance (expressed in a percentage on the equipment nameplate). Properties that have an impact on the impedance of the circuit include the conductor material (copper versus aluminum), conductor size, conductor length, and motor-operated equipment supplied by the circuit.
Many people in the industry describe Amperes Interrupting Rating (AIR) as "Amperes Interrupting Capacity" (AIC).
Danger: Extremely high values of current flow (caused by short circuits or ground faults) produce tremendously destructive thermal and magnetic forces. Overcurrent protection devices not rated to interrupt the current at the available fault values at its listed voltage rating can explode while attempting to open the circuit overcurrent device from a short circuit or ground fault, which can cause serious injury or death, as well as property damage.
Q. Where is NM cable allowed to be installed per the NEC?
A. Type NM and Type NMC cables can be used in the following [334.10] locations:

The board of Ralcorp Holdings has unanimously rejected a $4.9 billion, all-cash takeover bid Wednesday from consumer food company ConAgra Foods.
The $86 per share deal — a premium of 3 percent over Tuesday's closing price – would be funded through cash and through a debt issue, ConAgra said.
The company estimates that a merger would result in annual cost savings of $250 million within three years.
According to ConAgra, an initial letter of interest, with an offer of $82 per share, was sent to the Ralcorp board on March 22.
"We believe this all-cash proposal is highly attractive to Ralcorp's shareholders and a transformational growth opportunity for both companies," Gary Rodkin, ConAgra's CEO, said in a press statement.
"By combining our two businesses, we will create one of the top US food companies, with product offerings across a wide range of price points, categories and channels."
Still, Ralcorp shares continue to trade higher than the even the sweetened offer price, an indication that investors expect that there eventually will be a higher offer made for the company. Some analysts estimate the company could be worth as much as $98 per share.
ConAgra owns retail brands including Slim Jim, Crunch 'N' Munch and Swiss Miss, as well as commercial food products.
Ralcorp , a producer of value-brand and private-label cereals, bakery products, pasta and other consumer foods, as well as Post cereal, which includes the Raisin Bran and Shredded Wheat brands.
The combined company would have $4 billion in private-label sales and create the third-largest U.S. packaged food company, ConAgra said.
ConAgra's May 4 letter to Ralcorp Holdings chairman William Stiritz shows that Ralcorp has been reluctant to discuss a deal, having rejected the original proposal on April 1.
"Though our Board of Directors is disappointed by your response and your refusal to meet with us or discuss this opportunity, we have reaffirmed our strong belief in the strategic, operational and financial merits of the proposed transaction," ConAgra's letter reads.
ConAgra is willing to change the terms of the offer from a 100 percent cash deal and would offer stock in a combined company to Ralcorp shareholders.

Lucy, who is one of the regular faces around the daycare, was so excited today when she got back into the play area because Willie was there! You might remember from a few months back that these 2 are boyfriend and girlfriend, well they were reunited today in the small dog play area. They wasted no time running around and playing with each other. We even caught them taking a nap together.
today was a really warm day outside, it was about 85 and really, really humid! Good thing our play area is air conditioned! We had a great group of dogs that loved playing outside in the pools and with the hose today! Lots of fun!!!
Have a good night.

This week is the first episode, and it's a beta (production isn't perfect yet). Kevin and Julian cover a lot of ground looking at how organizations can succeed at business transformation today, and how to change the way they change to avoid change failures and failures to change. Future episodes are more tightly focused on single topics, and usually run 20-40 minutes.
Each week, Kevin Brennan and Julian Sammy talk about organizational change failures and failures to change. They explore doomed attempts to adapt to our changing world, what was messed up, and how disaster could have been avoided. They connect ideas that don't seem related at first glance, reframe the problems, and consider strategies and mindsets that you can apply in your organization.
They enjoy feedback. You can comment below, on Twitter @ChgFAIL, on our Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/ChangeFAIL), or our website https://change.fail/episodes. If you want to reach them directly, they are on Twitter @BAKevin and @SCI_BA.

Slated for a release sometime in 2018, Sky Haven is an airport simulation game being developed by Real Welders.
I've watched this video of a little simulated airport something like five times now, and it has made me absolutely crave the ability to plan and build my own airport. Like most people, I do not enjoy airports as they currently are, and I'm hoping that Sky Haven will give me the ability to do that. Worst case, it'll let me make own my relaxing videos like this one, which is still very good.

Interview/Review – Tarot of the Sidhe
Illustrator/Author – Emily Carding
Publisher – Schiffer Publishing, LTD.
Copyright 2010 – Emily Carding
Recently, I had the pleasure of meeting with several members of the Tarot of the Sidhe. Please join me now as we discuss their role in this delightful and sometimes mischievous oracle.
I am so happy to finally make your acquaintance and that you, Maker Queen, were chosen to represent the collective Sidhe of this deck. You are famously known for your organizational skills and practicality – virtues that I admire and aspire to. So, let's get down to the business at hand, shall we?
Maker Queen – Certainly, and just to be clear, Sidhe is pronounced Shee. Please do say it correctly.
You look like a deck that has many secrets. Do you think this is true and are you willing to share your secrets?
Maker Queen (Gift of Healing) – Yes, we do have many secrets, but we are always willing to share them. The seeker only need ask the right questions. Our secrets are not to be kept, we want to share them. A seeker needs only to believe and be sincere in their questing. They also need to be prepared for the answers they receive and be willing to accept them as they are given.
Ok, that sounds fair. (Moving on) The very first thing that jumped out at me is the card backs. The glyph I believe you called it? What can you tell me and our readers about this mysterious looking symbol?
Maker Queen – The Great Glyph of the Sidhe? Well dear, it is a visual representation of a gateway, a focal point. The Glyph enhances the ability of the card to act as a gateway, which runs both ways. It will help you to connect with the otherworld and we will find it easier to contact you in return. You will also find it, sometimes hidden, in the face of the cards as well. Be sure to look for it as you visit with us.
Thank you, I certainly will. Now, who do you think might best describe for us the true nature, the important characteristic(s) of this collective?
MQ – Oh, no question about it, that would be the Dreamer Princess. She has the Gift of Telling.
Dreamer Princess – It's true, I do have a gift for telling stories. My natural wit is only a small part of my charm. Some don't appreciate my candor, and telling everyone, everything I know, (shrug) go figure. On one hand, I am a very good communicator, but, I may encourage you to manipulate the facts just teensy bit to make things a little more interesting. I am quite willing to tell you anything you want to know and lots of things you don't want to know as well.
Hmmm, quite a mischievous group, aren't you? Thank you for stopping by, Princess. MQ, you don't mind if I call you MQ do you? Who will be explaining the biggest advantage of working with the Sidhe?
MQ – Ahhh here they are now. May I introduce Strength, The Rider of the Dragon.
(Conspiratorially she whispers to me) "She takes that dragon everywhere she goes."
Strength – There are numerous advantages to working with us, but I feel the most important ones would be learning the art and ability of facing your fears and the self-confidence you gain from overcoming them. There is nothing quite as liberating as standing up to something that is terrifying. Once you make up your mind and muster the courage, we will help you harness your dragons. Then maybe you can ride the solar wind as I do! Become the mistress or master of your demons! I am the……..
Excuse me dear! I'm sorry to interrupt, but we do need to continue with the interview. Thank you so much for stopping by, you have been quite helpful. By the way….. nice dragon.
I see that Strength is XI, I wonder if we will have a chance to chat with VIII Justice?
What would you say is the best way to approach the Sidhe? How can we best learn from and collaborate together?
MQ – I think the Magician may be able to shed some light on this question.
The Magician – First you must trust us. Trust is a two way street though, you need to gain our trust as well. Come to us honestly and humbly and you will have earned that trust. We honor the opportunity to share our world and knowledge to help you realize you have the power to change your world by changing yourself. We are the potential of your inner power. Both individually and collectively, we can help you discover You.
Very good, very good. Thank you Magician, for that wise piece of advice and for taking the time to share with us today.
Are there any final words? I believe I saw someone lurking just beyond the door. Ahhh, another Princess. Please come in and introduce yourself.
Maker Princess – Hello. I just wanted to share with everyone the Gift of Creativity. That IS my specialty after all. We, the Sidhe, are presented quite creatively in this Tarot kit. Our portraits are displayed on 78 separate canvas of quality card stock (3 ½ x 5 in.) with a gloss coating for ease of use and protection. Our container is a very sturdy box that will stand up to a lot of use and includes a 96 page beautifully bound booklet with an introduction to the Sidhe, a little history, three spreads, keywords, poetry, and artist's notes, completes our package.
Emily Carding, our illustrator and voice for this project, has captured the essence of our noble race to share with all who would seek our ancient wisdom. You may notice that a few of us have adapted our names to better suit our purposes, such as The Elder, sometimes known as the Hierophant, and Pan, who is commonly referred to as The Devil. Our courts are made up of Princess, Prince, Queen and King and the four suits are renamed as well. The suits are: Dreamer – Air, Dancer – Water, Warrior – Fire, and Maker- Earth. You can easily see how they relate to more traditional suits.
Come along and discover our world, as we will endeavor to help you understand yours.
"Deep as the sea we sing,
As high as the moon we sing!
Dreaming of golden skies,
We try to forget your lies…
As old as the hills,
As young as the rain,
We sing through the joy
And dance through the pain"
(excerpt from, "Song of the Sidhe" by Emily Carding)
I would like to express my gratitude to the Sidhe, and especially Maker Queen, for joining us today and for sharing a peek into their realm. Please note the colored borders were added here for affect. In their original form the borders are black but, I did not feel the green background of this media did them justice. See more images below.

When Memorial Park first was developed, picnic areas with overlooks were created in the two abandoned Carlson quarries atop Sorin's Bluff. Each has a sugar loaf rock formation that remained after mining ceased, and each offers spectacular views of the Mississippi River and Lake Pepin. In 2012 to 2013, the quarries were cleared of dead trees and invasive vegetation by a joint citizen-city effort. The Red Wing Area Fund provided money for milling the quarry floors; refurbishing parking lots; and adding new trail heads, kiosks, fencing, fire rings, stone picnic tables and picnic grills in both quarries.
The Upper Quarry Area features:
The Picnic shelter can be reserved by printing out the Facility Use Request Form (PDF) and mailing it back to the Public Works Department at 229 Tyler Road North in Red Wing, or faxing it to 651-388-0243. Shelter requests can also be emailed to Kelsey Gilbertson at the Public Works Department.
For additional assistance, please contact us at 651-385-3674. You can check the availability of a park pavilion by checking the facilities calendar.
This shelter is a large open air shelter with 4 large stone picnic tables, and can accommodate approximately 24 to 30 people. One large charcoal grill is near the shelter for your use. Water and electricity are not available in this park.
The shelter is available on a "first come first serve basis" after all paid reservations are honored. Please check the schedule of reservations posted on the shelter.

AUSTIN (AP) – Cleanup work gets underway in earnest a day after flash floods across Central Texas killed two men and prompted dozens of emergency rescues.
Friday will be a day of damage appraisals after storms in the Austin area left behind up to 13 inches of rain. The bad weather that started late Wednesday and continued through Thursday triggered flash floods in a region that since 2011 has had drought.
Austin police say the body of a man 50 to 60 years old was found in the city's flooded Onion Creek. Earlier, the Caldwell County sheriff's office said a man died Thursday after driving on a low-lying portion of road overtaken by flooding.
Names of the victims weren't immediately released.

San Sebastián Film Festival: Gere finds sinister charm in 'Arbitrage'
The 60th edition of the festival opens with an impressive thriller debut by Nicholas Jarecki.
By Olwen Mears
The San Sebastian Film Festival got off to a cracking start on Friday with US film Arbitrage, starring Richard Gere, Susan Sarandon and Tim Roth and directed by Nicholas Jarecki. Opening the event's 60th edition, Jarecki's film is competing in this year's Official Section.
Arbitrage is a tense thriller, set against a corporate backdrop, with a tight script and an energetic pace that is largely down to script writer and debutant director Jarecki.
Gere plays Robert Miller, a business magnate who is ready to sell up, supposedly to spend more time with his family. At first he looks as if he has it all: a loving wife (an excellent if little-seen Sarandon), a devoted son and a brilliant daughter who is also his business partner.
It is when Robert leaves his 60th birthday party to visit his mistress that you realise something is amiss in paradise. Not only that: It soon becomes clear that Miller has been a naughty boy, and his shenanigans with his French art dealer-lover barely even cover it.
Admittedly, the plot of Jarecki's film is one that's been seen in a number of similar thrillers, with a set-up reminiscent of Woody Allen's recent, darker material, such as Matchpoint, though the comparison ends there.
Arbitrage avoids cliché thanks to some excellent performances, intelligent, multi-layered dialogue, not to mention a storyline involving corporate fraud that is enormously relevant to the current climate.
Aside from cheating on his wife, Miller has also been cooking the books. The reason: to fool auditors and cover up a disastrous investment that could potentially lose him everything. When he later flees the scene of a fatal car accident, he is forced to dodge not only the taxman but also a police investigation, headed by a slightly caricatured, but extremely watchable Tim Roth.
In one scene, Miller's friend Syd tells him "they will come for you, Robert." From that moment on, the sense of a man juggling white lies and cover-ups while simultaneously and even expertly dodging the law is evoked with fantastic tension.
On one level, the film could be described as a metaphor for the current economic situation. When Miller's young friend (played by Nate Parker) looks about to take the fall for helping to cover the older man's much more serious crime, there are obvious parallels with the injustices of the ongoing global crisis.
In this way, Arbitrage clearly intends to pose some uncomfortable questions about the apparent impunity of the rich and powerful who have helped bring our economy to its knees. But if the film works so well it is ultimately because it is not about heroes and villains. Here, the audience is asked to identify, even empathise, with well-drawn, three-dimensional characters, all of whom are flawed in various ways.
In the conference following the press screening, Jarecki and Gere said they worked on Miller's walk to, in Gere's words "find the charm, the Bill Clinton, in the character"'. He pulls it off with aplomb. Gere is not only likeable in this film, he is undeniably sexy and I often felt torn between hoping he would get away with it, and wishing he would get his just desserts.
Also showing on Friday were two films in the Festival's Horizontes Latinos section: Infancia Clandestina (Clandestine Childhood), starring Ernesto Alterio, and Salsipuedes, about domestic violence, both from Argentina.
Also showing as part of the Zabaltegi Pearls section was Michael Haneke's Amour, which took the Golden Palm at Cannes.
This year's Donostia Award (which went to Richard Gere in 2007) will be awarded to four people, all of whom are presenting films this year:
Ewan McGregor will present The Impossible, a film from Spanish director J.A Bayona about the 2007 tsunami, competing in the Official Section.
Dustin Hoffmann presents Quartet, a British film he directed that will not compete in any section.
John Travolta and Oliver Stone both present Savages, which competes in the Zabaltegi Pearls Section.

Ohh, that's sooo nice
People have been rubbing each other for countless millenniums, most time peaceably, but there are a host of human, social and political factors that can interfere to make a therapists life difficult.
Massage is viewed differently between countries and sometimes regulated. In New Zealand, there is no regulation and anyone can read a book on massage and set up their own practice. That rarely happens and most therapists are well trained and qualified.
For the therapist, many people still see massage is being something sexual as all around the world massage has been used as the cover or title for the sex industry and there is still a great number of people who equate massage as being something uniquely sexual so therefore by their standards anyone practising massage is branded as a sex worker in the same category as any sex worker or prostitute. Fortunately, this attitude is slowly vanishing. But there are still occasions when someone enquires as to your occupation and you happily say you're a masseuse or masseur, you may find yourself being snubbed by this antiquated prejudice.
Chronic conditions
A very common problem is the person who has a chronic illness or condition that has defied the best medical specialists and they arrive at your table expecting you to perform a miracle. Fixing their incurable condition is not your job or responsibility, and you have every right to refuse them. If you have the training and skill, the empathy and appropriate massage can help them relax and may result in an improvement in circulation which is ultimately healing.
Is still one of the biggest problems the industry faces but not everyone sees it as a problem. Throughout much of south-east Asia from the time of the Korean War, the typical massage for most men in almost every commercial and private clinic has been an average to good quality back and leg massage followed by a happy ending (genital massage and masturbation).
This form of massage has spread to every country and corner of the globe and is considered normal by untold millions of people and with equality of sexes there are now large numbers of woman seeking the same service.
This is a brief summary, it would take thousands of hours to do this subject justice and outlined below are a few key points.
For men
A woman comes to you for a massage and experiencing some sexual interest in you, she thinks of her own mind that she is available to you in a sexual way, but, you either do not notice, or appropriately you do not judge or react and complete the treatment. When the treatment is over, she leaves and complains to the police that you have in some way sexually assaulted her.
There are of course over a 1000 variations to the story and usually within the industry it is male clients who have a reputation for hitting on female therapists and inappropriate behaviour, however female clients can be equally as bad but are more likely to be malicious, making this a very dangerous industry for men to work in.
Be totally clear and upfront and how you present yourself and your business
Do not work alone, ensure that your clients no that there is someone else working or doing something in the next room
Ensure that every client completes a detailed acceptance and waiver form
At the very outset of any inappropriate behaviour by a client, terminate the treatment, and ask the person to leave. And then sit down and write a report on the event for future reference.
for women
In today's politically correct world, massage is really a woman's business. Most women prefer to go to a female therapist because they feel safer than going to a man for a wide range of personal, social and political reasons.
As a woman massaging another woman, you naturally and intuitively feel what's going on within female clients and have the ability to shift their energy and focus with conversation and while it's very common for women to be sexually aroused by another woman's touch, its very rare for a female client to complain to anyone about this.
As a woman massaging men, you have to accept the fact that many men will become sexually aroused and even have an erection. This is something that nurses have had to deal with for generations, in the 1950s and 60s, many nurses adopted the practice of giving the penis, a sharp and painful flick with their pen or some other demeaning action. In today's politically correct world that would be an assault that you may be liable for.
Male erections happen most commonly when massaging the thighs and abdominal regions, and if you as a woman are genuinely offended by this, you are in the wrong job. In most clinical practices where it is quite clear that the massage is therapeutic without any sensual or sexual connotations most men are highly embarrassed when they have an erection. Therefore, it's your job not to make any fuss, but simply to continue with the treatment. In situations where the man's embarrassment is so great, or that they have a slight self-control problem and are beginning to flirt with you, simply move away from that area and distract their attention with some deep tissue work and then pick up where you left off to provide a balanced treatment.
What commonly happens is that client's will sometimes begin flirting and while it is vocal you can deal with it, then there is the client who rests their hand on your back or hip as you're working - this can be quite nice and can aid their relaxation and the communication between you. But it is a problem when their hands begin wandering as illustrated above and the easiest way to resolve this is simply to step out of reach and gently remind them that this is not part of your job description.
But whatever happens, treat it with a smile and good grace, see intimate advances as normal human behaviour and accept as a note of flattery and appreciation.
Have your new clients complete a health and disclaimer form and when in doubt, don't.
