I love the colorful graphics on this sweet little French Provincial end table. I started this project, got halfway through it, and realized I didn't take any "before" pictures. Oops, sorry about that!
You'll have to use your imagination on the "before." She had the usual scratched up, dinged up brown stain finish. I sanded away many of the dings and gouges, though some remain as character marks. 😉
I painted her with General Finishes Snow White milk paint (affiliate link), then transferred the images with my Doodle Magic transfer medium.
I added a postmark graphic to the bottom shelf- appropriate with the postcards going on top….
The postcards were black & white images, so I added some color to them before printing them out. Remember to reverse your images if doing transfers like this. The postcard and postmark images are from Graphics Fairy.
After transferring the images, I added glaze to the entire thing, but wiping most of it off the postcards. To give the illusion of a shadow, I used a small brush to add a bit of glaze along the right and bottom edges of the postcards.
I finished her off with my go-to General Finishes High Performance Top Coat (affiliate link). I just recently found out they now sell a flat finish, so I'm anxious to give that a try.
This isn't the first time I've used these postcards. This French Country end table with drawers got the treatment, but with black & white images. I also decoupaged postcard graphics inside the drawers. Be sure to click on over to see the details.
I usually name my furniture pieces, but somehow managed to forget to name this one. Any suggestions for this well-traveled lady? By the way, she is for sale on my facebook page. 🙂

To all the faithful of the Church of Saint Sava squeezing
Congratulations to the feast of feasts, a light Resurrection of Christ :
If Christ has not been raised …
pathetic we are of all men ( 1 Cor . 15:17-19 )
Is there anywhere in the past , present or future, happier people than faithful follower of Christ ? Certainly not . Maybe there were and there are earthly lucky , but their shallow and superficial material happiness in general can not be considered happiness as fleeting and inevitably ends with earthly life – death .

Little Falls
|Little Falls Facts
Benton's Landing in Little Falls just west of Lock E17.

Little Falls is located about halfway between Waterford and Three Rivers, this canal town has been an important part of the canal system since its creation. Little Falls, a small city, has all the things that a boater would desire: mooring, restaurants, groceries, parks, walkways, museums, gyms, library, post office, movie theater and many more.
Little Falls offers three places to stop for the transient boater. First is at Lock E17, located at the eastern side of the city. There ample parking on the eastern side of the lock along the cement canal wall. Lock E17 is the largest lock on the canal system, and has a nearby walking path as well as a lock still visible from the original Erie Canal (Old Erie Canal Lock 36).
Also in town on the western side of the lock is Benton's Landing. Benton's Landing offers a daytime tie up (no overnight mooring) to easily access all that the town has to offer. Lastly, for overnight mooring on the western side of the lock is the is Town Canal Harbor. Here you can tie up for the night for a modest fee.
While in Little Falls there are numerous informational boards to guide you where you need to go within town; this is a good place to stop for supplies.

Little Falls Canal
Long before the Erie Canal was dug through Little Falls, there was a need for a canal around the little falls rapids so that loaded boats could easily pass to the west. The route around the falls was a treacherous one, it required improvement in the mid 1700s to allow wheeled carts to pass, and even these paths had difficulty with the ever increasing large boats.
The route was surveyed for a canal and there was determined to be a rise of 39 feet and a route of three-fourths of a mile in length. The survey recommended that five locks be built to overcome the falls and projected the cost to be about £10,500.
With surveys completed, the Western Inland Lock Navigation Company, a private company incorporated to create canals to the west of the Hudson River for profit, went ahead and commenced construction in 1793, without the assistance of an engineer.
Under law, the specified width of locks must be at least ten feet wide by seventy feet long and allow boats requiring two feet of draft to pass. An added bonus of constructing canals is that the law allowed the Western Inland Lock Navigation Company to use surplus water from the canals for manufacturing. The granting of this privilege inaugurated a policy which proved very disastrous to the interests of the State in later years.
Work on the canal began in April 1793, with nearly three hundred laborers and number of skilled men. Unfortuantely, as was common for this and other early canal companies, they ran out of money and in September work had stopped. In the following year the state would bail the company out by buying shares of the company and on November 17th, 1794 the canal would allow boats to pass.
The finished canal was 4752 feet long (just short of a mile) and would raise boats 44 feet 7 inches. Five locks, all located on the eastern end, were constructed, and lifted boats approximately 9 feet each. The locks exceeded minimum requirements and were 74 feet long by 12 feet wide and allowed boats of three feet of draft to pass. In addition to the five lift locks, a guard lock was build on the western end to protect the canal from flooding or damage during high waters. The canal required 2550 feet of difficult and costly excavation from solid rock.
Little Falls Canal in use
Officially completed in 1795, a few years before the Rome Canal and 30 years before the Erie Canal. This was the first major canal in New York and marked further progress towards a continuous navigational channel between the Hudson River and the Great Lakes. The original wooden locks rotted rapidly and in 1802 they were replace by stone locks.
Unlike all canals in Little Falls to follow, this canal followed the north side of the river, rather than the southern side; for this reason, when the Erie Canal was built an aqueduct was built in order to feed water to the Erie Canal and allow boats to access the northern side of the canal. On October 2, 1820, the Western Inland Locks Navigation Company was granted $91,616 for compensation for the state taking control of the canal. This ended the Western Inland Lock Navigation Company.
Little Falls Canal today
Most of the remains of the 5 lift locks are gone. The remains of the aqueduct are visible near Benton's Landing. Interestingly though, the though remains of the guard lock are still evident and in 1883, along with the adjacent stone bridge, were the first know canal feature that was protected by the state of New York for the strict reason of historic value for future generations. Unfortunately the lock and bridge has suffered greatly over the years.
Work by the New York State Museum has uncovered that the lock wall seen today has undergone significant reconstruction around 1940. The both walls and the stone bridge have been torn down and replaced. The bridge by a modern bridge, the northern wall by a concrete wall, and the southern wall taken down and rebuilt without the canal artifacts. Unfortunately that this means that all actual traces of the canal are now gone and or buried.

Defining and managing your brand just works better when it comes from one team
More than a logo, a brand represents the promises your business makes to the marketplace. Spritz works with clients to define and present their brand in an honest and stimulating way.
Willie Nelson once said, "Where do great songs come from? Do they fall from the sky?" Great ideas, like great songs, are not there one moment and arrive the next. They are a product of agile minds that mold known thought into new shapes that deliver messages that relate thoughtfully and emotionally to recipients. Great creative can break through the hundreds and thousands of messages we receive every day.
Spritz Creative was an advertising and design company before websites even existed – yes we have been around for awhile. Here at Spritz Creative, we were building websites from day one and have grown with new technology. We combine leading edge programming, functioning and best practices with great design to create fantastic websites. We focus on responsive, mobile friendly solutions that work seamlessly on all viewing platforms. Integrated e-commerce solutions are also built and supported in-house at Spritz Creative.
Video makes up the largest category of online content. Video posts typically are more effective in activating viewers thanks to motion, sound and the opportunity to present an energetic message. Spritz utilizes advanced editing and special effects along with inspired and branded graphics to create wonderful videos. We even write and produce original music if needed.
Social Media
We have a team of exceedingly bright people who understand all the complexities and opportunities of today's social media landscape.

You want to know how successful your campaign was – we will give you detailed reports. Stop the guesswork.
Search Engine Optimization
How many times have you heard the line "we can get your business to the top of Google". Don't buy it! Google is smarter than those consultants and actually penalizes companies that try to "trick" their way to the top. Google is in business to provide viewers the best possible outcome for their web search. How can your company be the best search result? Be honest with content, be frequent, be recent, be data formatted with content, apply appropriate tags and connect with relative content outside your website. We can help you do all of those things.
Virtual Reality
Spritz is always looking at the newest forms of communication. We've been working with Virtual Reality for the past 6 years. Applications for this technology are now happening in the marketplace. We also produce 3D animation and modelling – see the Spritz Soda bottle on our home page. We have highly skilled individuals in-house that not only reside in our offices but can build an actual life-like facsimile of themselves working in their office. That's weird.

Blanching garden vegetables is a method of preparing fresh vegetables to preserve them. By blanching the vegetables, it allows us to dry pack and freeze vegetables for later use. Freezing vegetables can take a considerable amount of less time to prepare and store vegetables as opposed to canning. Canning requires the sterlizing canning jars, which is time consuming.
Credit: mym [CC-BY-SA-2.0 (www.creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.0)], via Wikimedia Commons
The blanching process must be done before freezing fresh vegetables to minimize the loss of color and more importantly, flavor. This is done by placing the items to be froze in boiling water for a recommended time for each type of vegetable. Then chilling the vegetables as fast as possible by plunging them into ice water. Once they are thoroughly chilled, remove and drain the vegetables. Then pack and freeze them as quickly as possible. This method of food storage is great for people with limited time when the garden is producing high volumes of produce to be harvested. However, there must be substantial amount of freezer space. It works very well for most vegetables, expect for green peppers.
Always blanch by boiling in pot of hot salt water. Add canning or kosher salt to the pot of water until it taste a bit salty. Use a big enough pot that the water covers the vegetables. Place the vegetables in a mesh wire basket to hold the vegetables under the boiling water. As a general rule, use one gallon of water per pound of vegetables. Cover the kettle for the indicated time for each type of vegetable. For best results use a very large pot of ice water to chill the vegetables. Cold running water can be used if ice water is not convenient. Simply hold the vegetables in the basket or a colander under running cold tap water until completely cool. Drain before placing in a freezer bag and freezing. Leave about ½ inch of head space at the top of the freezer bag when packing. Be sure to seal the bags completely and use freezer quality bags, not storage bags.
Follow the guidelines carefully for each indicated vegetable. If blanching is not done, or not done properly it can ruin the vegetables. It can cause them to taste bad, turn colors and even cause them to toughen.
Prepare the asparagus by first washing it very well. Then trim and cut it to the desired size and sort according to size. Blanch it by boiling it for 3 to 4 minutes, 3 minutes for thinner stalks and 4 minutes for thicker stalks. Chill fast with ice water, then pack into freezer bags and freeze immediately.
Beets should be washed and cut the tops off. Make sure you leave a small amount on the top and the root on to prevent the beets from bleeding. Blanch small beets in boiling water for 25 to 30 minutes and medium beets for 45 to 50 minutes. Chill, then cool and slice. Pack into freezer bags and freeze.
* Save the greens to eat or freeze as well, these are a tasty and nutritious vegetable.
Brussel Sprouts:
Wash and inspect brussels sprouts well. Blanch them by boiling the small ones for 3 minutes, medium size for 4 minutes and the large ones for 5 minutes. Place in ice water to cool completely, pack and freeze.
Green Beans:
Prepare green beans by washing them first. Then break the ends, string them and cut into desired sized pieces. Blanch them by boiling for 2 minutes. If left whole, boil them in water for 2 ½ minutes. Chill immediately with ice water and pack into freezer bags. Freeze as soon as possible.
Shell Beans:
This includes, but not limited to lima beans and butter beans. Shell and short the beans. Throw away any rotten or bad beans. Wash well then continue to blanch them by boiling for 1 to 2 minutes. If the beans are large, use 2 minutes, for medium size do 1 ½ minutes and for small beans boil for 1 minute. Chill right after with the ice water and place in freezer bags. Place in the freezer at once.
Cut off the ends of the carrots. Then peel the sides and remove any bad spots. Wash the carrots very well. Slice them to preference, either lengthwise or crosswise. Smaller carrots can be left whole or sliced. Blanch them by boiling sliced carrots in water for 3 full minutes and boil carrots for 4 ½ minutes. Chill them in ice water and pack into freezer bags, then freeze.
Corn on and off the Cob:
Husk the corn, then remove and trim off as much silk as possible. Trim off any bad and rotten spots. Use a vegetable brush to scrub away any difficult silks. Wash the corn extremely well. Blanch them by boiling slender ears for 7 minutes, use 9 minutes for medium sized ears, and 11 minutes for the large sized cobs. Cool off immediately with the ice water. Pack cobs and freeze.
For kernel corn, prepare the corn on the cobs as directed. Then, after chilling the cobs, cut the kernels off the corn. Be sure to hold the cob at an angle and cut down and away from yourself. Pack the corn into a freezer bag and freeze.
This includes beet, kale, mustard, spinach and collard greens. Wash and sort the greens. Throw out any that has bad spots. Examine the stems, if any seem tough, discard them. Blanch the leaves by boiling them for 2 minutes. Chill the leaves in ice water. Then pack them in a freezer bag and freeze.
Green Peppers:
Wash and cut away the seeds from the peppers. Slice and blanch by boiling for 3 minutes. Pack peppers in brine with 1 teaspoon of salt to 1 cup of cold water. Even though this is instructions for blanching and freezing green peppers, green peppers are actually better if you just simply freeze them without blanching them.
Peas should be shelled and sorted. Peas are small and more delicate so they only need to be blanched for 1 to 2 minutes. Boil one minute for baby peas and two minutes for large, mature peas. Chill with ice water, then pack them into freezer bags and freeze.
Squash and Zucchini:
Wash and inspect the squash or zucchini. Slice or grate it for personal preference. Blanch slices in boiling water for 3 minutes and grated for 1 to 2 minutes. Chill in ice water, then pack and freeze.
Onions and Tomatoes:
Onions and tomatoes should not be blanched before freezing.
Preparing Blanched Frozen Vegetables:
When preparing blanched, frozen vegetables, prepare by boiling the vegetables until tender. Green beans should always be boiled for at least 10 minutes because of associated health risk with undercooked green beans whether canned, fresh, blanched and frozen or store bought.

Another Special Reason
This is another card I created using the Special Reason Bundle. I started by embossing Peeaboo Peach card using the Petal Burst Embossing Folder. I attached it to Whisper White card and wrapped the join using the Gold 3/8″ Metallic Ribbon from the Sale-A-Bration catalogue. I stamped "Happy Birthday" from the Vertical Garden stamp set onto the top right hand side of the Whisper White card. I cut the leaf and stem from Whisper White card using the Stylish Stems Framelits Dies and attached it to Mint Macaron card. See how the die cuts the negative from the Whisper White card. Fantastic isn't it. I stamped the small flower onto Whisper White card using Peekaboo Peach ink and cut it out using the matching Stylish Stems Framelits Die. I attached the flower to the top of the flower stem and then attached the panel to the card front using dimensionals.
To decorate the inside I embossed Peekaboo Peach card using the Petal Burst Embossing Folder and attached it to Whisper White card. I wrapped the top edge of the embossed card using the Gold 3/8″ Metallic Ribbon.
I love this card, it is so pretty and the touch of gold in the ribbon really sets it off, don't you think?
Bye for now,
Use this Hostess Code when you place an order during January and receive a gift from me.

The fence seen near the bottom of this photo is permanent:
The countdown to the ride's opening should begin soon:
Is anybody actually excited about this?ReplyDelete
You do understand you don't have to ride it or look at the a photo essays about it right?Delete
How could you not be excited about this ride. It looks awesome! Some people just like to complain.Delete
Actually, I am excited for the new ride. People who are wet blankets are a drag and shouldn't post.Delete
If this ride keeps losers away from the good rides, then I am excited for it too!Delete
I don't hate this.
It looks alright and fits the area. It's not gonna blow anyone away, it just cleans up the San Francisco area and gives it a ride.
This feels more like a C-ticket kinda ride, just something to fill up the park.
With more Harry Potter and of course Nintendo on the way, those will be what to look out for.
Exactly. I'm not really excited about it either but it will its not like I have to ride it and the people in line or on the ride will just be less people crowding the areas that I am interested in. Also it fits in really well with the existing structures.Delete
Actually, I'm really excited for this!ReplyDelete

MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Republicans probably won't be able to achieve a veto-proof majority in November's legislative elections, Assembly Speaker Robin Vos said Wednesday.
The GOP is heading into the elections with comfortable majorities in the Assembly and Senate. Republican leaders want to flip three seats in each chamber, which would give them two-thirds majorities in both and enable them to override any veto from Democratic Gov. Tony Evers and pass anything they want.
Evers has made a "Save the Veto" campaign a focus of Democratic fundraising effort this year and supporters have responded in a big way. The state Democratic Party in July reported raising a record $10 million over the second quarter of the year. The state Republican Party raised about $860,000 over the same period, campaign finance reports show.
Vos said during a WisPolitics.com video conference alongside Assembly Minority Leader Gordon Hintz that he believes the GOP has only a 30% chance of achieving a veto-proof majority given that Democrats have raised so much money.
"I don't think it's likely, only because of the environment that we're in," Vos said. "We're probably going to be outspent."
Hintz said the national political climate and dissatisfaction with how President Donald Trump has handled the coronavirus pandemic have given Democratic legislative candidates a boost.
"What we're seeing is the ... disdain for Trump coming down to the local level," he said.
Wisconsin figures to be a key battleground in the presidential race after Trump won the state by only 22,000 votes in 2016.
Vos and Hintz said the pandemic is the top issue on voters' minds with the election approaching. State health officials reported 1,408 newly confirmed infections on Wednesday, bringing Wisconsin's total to 92,712 since the start of the pandemic. Eight more people died, bringing the death toll to 1,228. The University of Wisconsin-Madison reported its first student COVID-19 hospitalization. According to the university, 2,176 students and 33 employees had contracted the virus as of Wednesday.
Hintz called Trump's response to the virus "incoherent" and said Wisconsin's economy continues to struggle even though Republicans pushed the conservative state Supreme Court to strike down Evers' stay-at-home order in May.
Vos countered that Wisconsin hospitals have not been overwhelmed with COVID-19 cases, then quickly pivoted to attacking Democrats who want to defund police after multiple instances of white officers killing Black suspects. The push has gained momentum in the state after a white Kenosha officer shot Jacob Blake, who is Black, in the back seven times last month. Blake survived but the shooting sparked demonstrations that sometimes turned violent.
Vos said legislators and local leaders shouldn't paint all police as racists. Hintz accused Vos of distorting the issue, saying police should be both respected and held to high standards. He acknowledged that the discussion needs a "better title" than defunding, however.
Vos said he still believes Republicans will emerge from the elections with a "strong" majority and should emerge from the elections with more than 60 of the Assembly's 99 seats. He said the GOP is targeting Democratic incumbents Nick Milroy of South Range; Steve Doyle of La Crosse; and Robyn Vining of Wauwatosa.
Hintz, for his part, said he believes Democrats can defeat Republican incumbents Jim Ott of Mequon; John Macco of De Pere; and Rob Hutton of Brookfield. Those districts lean heavily conservative but Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden's momentum should carry down the ballot, he said.
"If it's a good year for Biden, we think the opportunity is there," Hintz said. "I do think we can come back with more seats. The national political climate is volatile. If you said a year ago this the position you'll be in, I'd have been happy with that. The reality is we're motivated."

France fines washing machine makers $214 million for price rigging
By Dominique Vidalon
PARIS (Reuters) – France's competition authority on Thursday fined six home appliance makers a total of 189 million euros (168.32 million pounds) for price-rigging in 2006 and 2009, the largest penalty it has handed out so far this year.
Whirlpool <WHR.N>, Electrolux <ELUXb.ST>, Bosch's BSH unit <ROBG.UL>, Indesit, Candy Hoover and Eberhardt Frères were fined for agreeing price increases on washing machines, fridges or ovens, the competition authority said.
Since these firms account for 70 percent of the French household appliances market, the cartel had a major impact on prices paid by retailers and consumers, Isabelle de Silva, who heads the Autorite de la Concurrence, said.
The companies did not contest the fines and some even apologised to regulators for their behaviour, de Silva said.
The ruling found the companies colluded on sales prices to retailers in 2006 and in 2009 on the sidelines of official meetings of their federation the GIFAM, and in chic Parisian restaurants such as La Duree or Corona Imperial.
The fines were the result of a probe started in 2012 after whistleblowers contacted French authorities.
De Silva said she wanted the government to offer "some kind of reward" to whistleblowers, as happens in other countries.
Whirlpool paid the biggest fine of 56 million euros while the Indesit entity – which was later bought by Whirlpool – got a separate 46 million euros fine.
Electrolux was fined 48 million euros, Candy Hoover 15 million and Eberhardt Freres 1 million euros.
BSH's fine was cut by 70-80 percent from its initial amount down to 23 million euros after it helped with the inquiry.
Electrolux said in a statement that its fine was below the provision of 54 million euros it had set aside.
The total fine is the biggest imposed by the antitrust body in 2018. The biggest penalty imposed so far was 951.2 million euros in 2014 on a beauty products cartel.

Indianapolis Police Detective Darin Odier immediately got the attention of the seventh and eighth graders: "I got these from Facebook," he said, projecting pictures on the big screen of some of the kids seated right in front of him.
Next in this revealing show-and-tell in my local school gym, he showed the profile of a young girl named Hannah. In it, she mentioned that she recently moved to town, was new at the school and was reaching out to students to make friends. Very sweet. She sent out a few friend requests and, within a week, some of them were answered. Hannah had made some new friends—which would be a nice story if Hannah weren't actually Detective Odier using a fake identity.
"I have more than 1,000 photos of the students here," he continued, "because five of you became friends with a Facebook account I created. Once I had those five, the rest was easy."
The problem wasn't the pictures themselves. At least, not in this case. The problem was what the pictures represented: access and information.
Young or old, if your privacy settings aren't carefully controlled, you're not only potentially exposing your own information, you could be exposing your friends' as well. Detective Odier explained it like this: "By having the tags on the photos, I can put names with faces. I also know birthdays, hobbies, interests and—let's not forget—where you go to school."
We teach our kids to be wary of strangers in the physical world, but we also need to teach them to be wary online. Kids need to be taught to be more discerning about who might actually be a stranger, only friending people online who are actually flesh-and-blood friends.
Tempted to eliminate online access entirely? That's not really an option, Odier said.
"Most of us parents are digital immigrants," he explained. "We grew up without the Internet and are having to learn as we go. Our kids, however, are digital natives. They've never known anything else, and it will always be a part of their lives." Our best hope is to better prepare them for what they'll find out there.
One useful tool I'd recommend is NetSmartz Workshop (www.netsmartz.org), created by the Center for Missing and Exploited Children. An interactive, educational program designed for children ages 5-17, NetSmartz Workshop provides age-appropriate resources to help teach children how to be safer on- and offline. There are also extensive resources for parents and guardians, educators and law enforcement. And to make it more likely to be used, NetSmartz aims to entertain while it educates.
Some NetSmartz advice:
• Make sure all home computers are kept and used in a high-traffic area so you can pay better attention to what your kids are doing online.
• Remember that computers aren't limited to desktops and laptops. Smartphones and devices such as iPads, iPods, Kindles and game consoles often have direct access to the Internet.
• Consider installing software that allows you to block various types of traffic.
• Greatly limit access to chat rooms and be sure screen names that are used don't provide clues to identity, gender or location.
• Review the privacy settings on social media sites to limit the information shared beyond the immediate circle of friends. Delete over-identifying and inappropriate information.
• Be aware that cyber-bullying is on the rise, especially among girls. Help your kids understand what appropriate behavior looks like and dissuade them from responding to rude e-mails, comments or messages.
• Remind kids that anything they send from their phones can be easily copied and/or forwarded.
• They should never meet face-to-face with anyone they first met online without your permission and/or attendance.
• Finally, talk with your kids. As a parent, it's our job to do whatever we can to keep them safe. Sometimes, the most important thing is opening up a dialogue so we'll know what's going on, even when they don't want to tell us.
If you want them to hear it from someone besides you, Detective Odier said he'd be happy to talk with anyone who wants him to. If you'd like to contact him about speaking at your school, let me know and I'll put you in touch.•

text: IMMORTAL HOWDEN ENDER 5,064 Report post Posted January 27, 2013 Havent got the time to look through all the posts on here but I will proffer my words of wisdom. That has to be biggest disappointment that I can recall experiencing. I rarely feel "gutted" but did at the final whistle. I started having bad vibes the day before and kept on slapping maself cos I was having wave after wave of confidence and expectancy. I agree that there are loads of positives in that we got there, we are entertaining this season, we are in a great league position etc., etc. Here goes fer a bollicking but I dont blame the players - I blame Terry and Mo who got the tactics and the selection all wrong. I felt that the players gave they had and here is the smileymometer - and it is based wholly on the semi final and nought else. REGUERO :smile: The only thing that really baffled me was how he "behaved" during the penalty shoot out. After the second I wanted him to change but had NO confidence that he would save any kick. To me it was a PTSD flashback and there was a Fridge facing Alloa at Airdrie. Now I can appreciate that if ya stay on the spot you may have a chance of saving the down the middle attempt but even I had sussed that by penalty number two. Why didnt we have the eccentric Spanish antics - that must have been discussed prior to the game - NONSENSE RAVEN Made a few mistakes but they werent punished. Thought that he was carrying an injury late on or perhaps he was knackered. MEEKINGS My MOM WARREN Again I felt that he did little wrong and looked the most likely from dead ball situations. G.SHINNIE Thought that it was one of his best attacking games in an ICT shirt. A.DORAN Huge disappointment. Had an off day when he could have been a match winner. TUDOR JONES Again worked his socks off and tried to play football. Why doesnt he put his frame in the box fer corners - even if it is front of the keeper. DRAPER Thought he was subdued and did not go forward as much as I would like him to FORAN Was he carrying a knock or did he pick one up. He was so, so lucky not to be red carded and sometimes he was more interested in berating than watching the ball. He should have been hooked a lot earlier. A.SHINNIE Thought that he could have been utilised a lot more effectively when they went down to ten men. B.McKAY Well he probably cost us the game in the end. ROBERTS I suppose that theoretically he cost us the game. He was having an absolute mare apart from the through ball to Shane. But as soon as he strode up the pitch I had that negative gut feeling. WHY THE FECK WAS HE CHOSEN BY TB - It was OBVIOUS that he was having a bad day. AND WHY DIDNT THE LIKES OF RAVEN, WARREN, DRAPER take on the responsibility SUTHERLAND When he came on I though - good sub - stick him right up front alongside McKay and Shinnie in the hole and lets go fer it. And then we get him in the wide rite feckin TB stubborness nonsense. I thought that we shaded it as the better team on the day - I thought that we should have won this in 90 minutes. BUT Terry and Mo simply do NOT have a Plan/System B and the continued "loyalty" to some players cost us a Hampden experience IMHO. Personally the game was shouting out fer a 4-3-3 and Nicky Ross.

"In Foreign Affairs, we must make up our minds that, whether we wish to or not, we are a great people and must play a great part in this world."
–Theodore Roosevelt
1. International school = International experience
Being a university with a highly diverse international student body and faculty, John Cabot is uniquely qualified to teach international affairs. Many of the students do not come from the United States (in fact, American students account for only 17% of the degree-seeking population), so the breadth of knowledge that you get in your classes from different countries and backgrounds is unlike anything you would get at a traditional university from whichever country (or "state" as you would say using an international politics lexicon) you come from. Not only that, but you also get the experience of living in a different country, with a different language and a different culture as well. You get to see the world through a different lens, which, in my experience, has helped me take a more inquisitive look at not just U.S. politics, economics, etc., but also the world at large, and where I find myself within this world as a student and as a world citizen. The friends you make while you're here will be international, as well. For example, I have friends from Africa, Europe, and South America, all of whom share the same passion for international affairs that I do, and I know that we'll be friends long after graduation has come and gone.
2. Differing Viewpoints
On the same plane, the differing viewpoints you get from your classmates and professors will help you develop your own opinion of how the international arena really works and the differences in ideals and plans that each country has. The dialogues and discussions that take place both inside and outside the classroom are incredibly insightful. Talking about the issues pertaining to our world with people who think differently than you do opens up entirely different ways of thinking that you may not have ever thought about before. You also learn how to have conversations with the knowledge that different ways of thinking aren't inherently right or wrong, simply different.
3. Self-analysis
While here at John Cabot University, you really get a chance to define who you are and begin to think critically about your place in the world. You begin to rethink your ideas about key issues, which by no means is a bad thing; changing ideas based on new evidence is one of the cornerstones of logical thought. It's all about keeping an open mind.

|GJD at The Shows: Experience PRS -Part 3
|Tuesday, 23 September 2008 23:23
By Tyler Bothe - GJD
This is my final installment about the 2nd annual Experience PRS Event in Stevensville, Maryland. One thing I need to add is what a great host Paul, his wife and his entire staff were. They really went out of their way to make everyone feel welcomed both at his house and at the PRS facility. As far as I know, none of the other big guitar manufactures put on a junket like this. (They should take a lesson from this!)
It's amazing how in just over 20 years Paul has built such a giant of a company. It is evident that Paul and his employees are humble and down-to-earth and have not gotten too big for their britches. On a guitar note, the quality of the instruments and the workmanship continues to excel.

How Important is Communication in Project Planning & Management
What is communication?
Before the importance of communication in project planning can be understood, communication itself needs to be understood.
Communication is more than just talking: people can speak or send written or electronic messages without communicating if no information is transferred. Similarly, the exchange of information may indeed be communication, but if the information is neither relevant nor appropriate, that communication can be useless. Important project information needs to be communicated effectively through available channels in ways that it is received and understood.
Effective communication is interactive and relies on verbal, nonverbal, written, subjective, and contextual components to transmit a message while relying on similar cues for feedback. In project planning, the absence of good communication leaves external and internal stakeholders wondering about the status of project related issues and often prompts the formation of invalid assumptions that can ultimately lead to conflict and project failure.

The Importance of Communication to Project Planning
Communication must circulate through the project management team and external stakeholders to maintain the health and the viability of the project. The existence of a documented communication plan does not by itself guarantee good communication during the project planning stage. Attention must be given to the type of information that is required at each level of the project and take steps to make sure that information is freely transmitted. As insufficient information can lead to faulty assumptions, too much information (or irrelevant information) can easily overload stakeholders, eventually causing them to "tune out" further communication attempts.
The information available to the planners will determine the quality of the project plan. Therefore, any information that will impact the quality, time, scope, risk, or expectations of a project must be communicated to stakeholders to improve the accuracy of the planning process. Similarly, communication from the stakeholders must flow freely so that any issues with capacity or specifications can be addressed during the planning stage.
Steps to Better Communication
Depending on the scale of the project, the project manager may need to spend some time laying the ground rules for meetings and other communications and could possibly arrange for some communication skills training. Even when time seems limited, managers should consider the time spent on establishing good communication within the team as an investment in its success.
Project managers should be mindful of any cultural differences among team members and other stakeholders that could result in miscommunication. Modern business requires multicultural competency at every level, including project planning, to avoid costly errors in planning. Diverse teams may benefit from spending some time developing cultural awareness in effort to improve communication.
An essential starting point for communication is the development of an effective communication plan that defines the information needs of each stakeholder, who will communicate that information, and how it will be communicated. Stakeholders must be encouraged to verbalize their concerns should they feel that communication is inadequate, and the project manager should have a proactive plan in place to monitor for signs of communication problems.
How Important is Communication in Project Planning?
Project planning must include accurate information concerning the project from every stakeholder to avoid programming flaws into the project from its beginning. An awareness of the requirements of the project, the capabilities of team members, and the resources available will go a long way to the development of a viable project plan that will deliver its desired outcome.

Late-Night Bike Ride Turns Fatal
It is extremely important to take safety precautions when riding a bicycle on the road, especially at night. Each year, there are hundreds of fatal bicycle accidents in the United States, and many more thousands of injuries. The worst accidents are usually those that involve a car or automobile.
Take the example of Alejandro Benito. He was riding his bicycle and attempted to cross West Mount Houston, near Big John. According to the Sheriff's Office, Benito was trying to cross when he did not yield the right of way to a Chevrolet Impala traveling westbound on the same road.
Because it was dark at the time of the crash and the bicycle, reported, had no lights, the resulting accident ended in Benito's tragic death at the scene of the accident. .
Deputies report that they are investigating the crash.
If you have been in a bicycle vs car accident, no matter the circumstances or which vehicle you were driving or riding, you need expert legal advice to make sure you case is being handled properly by all parties. When it comes to dealing with insurance, the right attorney can make sure your side is told and you get the payment you need and deserve. The experts at Houston Accident Attorneys are willing to help. Call now for more information.

Public health departments depend on timely, reliable, and accurate information to carry out their roles in disease surveillance and outbreak investigations.
During prior outbreak scenarios, such as the 2012-2013 fungal meningitis outbreak, health department staff traveled to each of the affected healthcare facilities to review patient health information through paper copies, PDF documents, or access to their electronic health records (EHR).
With new technologies, you can use remote access to EHRs to improve the efficiency of the outbreak responses. Because staff no longer have to travel to multiple healthcare facilities to review patient health information, the health department saves time and resources. Remote access to EHRs can also improve the efficiency of outbreak investigations for healthcare facilities staff because staff no longer have to copy, fax, or email patient health information.
"If we could have more remote access, that would be ideal. There are a lot of resources that go into onsite visits to a facility to do the chart review."
– Health Department Staff
Learn more »
Currently, electronic health information is not standardized among healthcare facilities, and this lack of standardization makes interoperability challenging. EHR access differs between facilities (sometimes, even within the same facility) depending on the type of EHR system or software used and how the healthcare facility has set up the system. Additionally, types of patient information the system captures and the ability to search for specific information within the EHRs can vary significantly across healthcare facilities. There could be significant obstacles at health departments or healthcare facilities related to the access and use of EHRs, such as:● Lack of resources to implement, upgrade, and maintain an EHR system;● Lack of resources to train and retain health information technology (Health IT) staff, public health officials, and other staff who will access the system;● Lack of standardization among the systems used by healthcare facilities; or,● Some rural or small facilities may face IT challenges due to lack of infrastructure or their remote location.
"There is the travel, expense, and time out of the office. [Onsite EHR access] is not the most efficient way to do things."

Recipe of the Week: Nachos
This versatile recipe is a crowd pleaser, regardless of the age of your crowd. Whether you're looking for a last-minute go-to for the Super Bowl this weekend, or a simple weeknight dinner for yourself or your family, the combinations are endless (and let's face it, who can resist melted cheese?).
I love getting my kids involved with cooking and it doesn't get much easier or more exciting than literally throwing food on top of a bed of tortilla chips. One of the best parts about getting kids in the kitchen is that they taste along the way and many times try a food that they probably otherwise wouldn't touch.
We start tossing by tossing on protein, either meat, chicken, beans, or a combo, and then add on shredded cheese and salsa. After baking for ~8 minutes at 350 degrees to melt the cheese we top with chopped tomatoes, cilantro, sour cream and avocado. Nachos are easy to customize- if someone wants more or fewer ingredients it's easy to make part of the tray specific to their liking. What are your favorite combos?

text: `Here I am once more in this Scene of Dissipation and vice, and I begin to find already my Morals corrupted.'Much loved for the romantic plot lines of her novels and witty observations on relationships, Jane Austen was also a prolific letter writer and penned many acerbic, ironic and poignant commentaries on a range of subjects. To her sister Cassandra she wrote with candid humour about the effects of the Peninsular War, on her dislike of parties and social obligations, and about her impressions of London. Her characters speak often, sometimes with bitter sarcasm, of women's inequality, ageing and the disappointments of marriage.Drawing together fifty quotations from Jane Austen's letters and novels with vibrant illustrations which illuminate everyday aspects of life in the Georgian era, this beautifully produced volume is the perfect gift for Janeites everywhere.

What if dolphins were a part of your soul?
"Dolphin bliss" - a feeling of extreme joy, love, peace and radiance, that can occur as a result of a dolphin swim. "What did dolphins do to you?" people might ask. What if, instead of doing anything, dolphins carry a multidimensional mirror, that reflects back to you the natural state of your soul? What if "dolphin bliss" can be experienced anywhere, in water or on land, when you're ready to remember who you really are?
Welcome to the journey of Inner Dolphin Awakening, a journey through 7 dolphin points on the human body, 7 invitations to feel, explore and embody the dolphin qualities. Dolphin points are like antennas - by fine tuning them you allow for a deeper experience of your quantum nature. Have fun exploring!
Lemurian Tones & the Dolphins
What if there's a form of communication, where information, energy and knowing can be exchanged on a multidimensional level? And what if there was a tool that could assist you to get to that level?
It is called toning. While every old culture used it, I am particularly passionate about Pineal Toning, which we used to practice in Lemuria. I experience profound levels of consciousness through these tones.
So I decided to tone to dolphins and whales around the world. With amazing results! Do they just like the tones? Or can they feel the profound states of consciousness it opens? Or is there even more? What if in that space, where my soul becomes a timeless experience, communication is possible, multidimensional exchange of information, energy and knowing? That is my truth. Enjoy the video!

Cervical Screening – Anna has the 1st Ever Live streamed Smear TestJust for Parents | March 28, 2017
When Channel Mum asked us if we would consider filming a livewe weren't sure quite how to respond. As I would be the one in the 'hot seat' I spent the next few days swinging from thinking it was a crazy suggestion that I could not go through with to thinking it was a really important thing that I must do for women worldwide who are nervous of having their test done. Katy and I talked it over and over. Was this the right thing to do? How would our family feel etc? Then we realised the good outweighed everything else.
There is a stigma attached to cervical screening that is seeing the number of women attending their appointments dropping in the last two years. This was a way that we could remove that fear and stigma for so many women and hopefully encourage them to book in for a possibly life saving test.
So we said yes to filming the test live, and BMI healthcare and top private Gynaecologist Tyrone Carpenter agreed to be a part of the campaign. It was not something I did without great nervousness and questioning but the response has been overwhelming. Women worldwide have been sending emails and commenting about how this has encouraged them to book in for their test. I was able to talk through the procedure with Tyrone whilst he performed the test, therefore proving that although not uncomfortable or pleasant it is not unbearable or painful. Katy was able to present the facts and interview Tyrone, who was so incredibly knowledgable as you would expect.
The number of women and men who watched it live was phenomenal and it's still being shared and watched now in the tens of thousands. The press coverage has been incredible, the story has been covered in The Daily Mail, The Express, The Sun, LadBible, Mirror and The London Economic. We have done what we set out to do, and that was to raise awareness and to get women booking in for their smear tests.
Having had the the test done when I was younger and needing laser treatment and colposcopy for abnormal cells I may not have been alive to film this video if I had not been for my smear test and follow up appointments. Please ladies, if there is one thing you do for yourselves let it be this! The best way to prevent Cervical Cancer is to keep up with your Smear Tests.
You can catch up on the video here and also on our follow up video discussing how it all went.
A MASSIVE thank you to everyone who has supported us on this one and for all the fantastic comments.
Please feel free to share your stories on this topic in the comments.

Urban Banished Immortal - Chapter 67
Backyard on Fire?
Qian Duoduo stopped moving and talking for a few seconds, dumbstruck. He then said, "I'll give Brother Huai a call to ask when he'll return."
When Guo Huai picked up Qian Duoduo's phone call, he asked, "Qian Duoduo, does it feel good to have a meal with a beauty?"
"Brother Huai, what happened? She got all the way here for you, why are you this calm?" Qian Duoduo asked softly. "Brother Huai, this beauty said she came for you. Can you recall when you offended Sister Jade? Why do I feel like she came to seek revenge?" he asked after walking away from Jade.
"I'll reach school in the afternoon. Let's talk by then," Guo Huai said and immediately ended the call.
"Hello? Hello?! Brother Huai!" Qian Duoduo still had something to say but the other side had already ended the call.
"Brother Duoduo, if there's nothing else, I'll go back to my dorm now. Guo Huai said on the phone call that he'll be back in the afternoon, right? Let's meet in the afternoon then," Jade said before standing up and leaving the canteen.
"How did she listen to what Brother Huai said, being this far away? Does she have the ears of a rabbit or something?" Qian Duoduo murmured, stupefied.
"Sister Jade, you're back! The technique Thought Control you taught me earlier is a lot more useful than what I learned from my master. Can you teach me some other stuff?" Nangong Lingmo asked as she saw Jade walking to her direction.
"Kiddo, how many people are in the Chinese Poweruser Organization you mentioned earlier? How good are they?" Jade asked as she sat on the sofa. Somehow, a carrot appeared in his hand which she started chewing on.
"I don't have an exact figure of the population. I'll be joining a martial arts poweruser competition in a year's time. I'll know the answer to your question at that time," Nangong Lingmo said softly.
"Since you know Murong Weiwei, didn't Guo Huai give you some pills to eat as well?" Jade asked.
"I tried his wonderful wine once. He has superpowers as well. However, he isn't registered in the poweruser organization. Naughty Boy will be in trouble if the organization finds out that he abuses his superpower," Nangong Lingmo said softly. "Sister Jade, since you have superpowers as well, I advice you to sign yourself up at the organization one day."
"Guo Huai and I are from the same sect. Our sect isn't under the organization's control," Jade said with a smile. She rather liked this kiddo in front of her.
"But I don't feel like your Senior Brother is anything good. He's extremely disloyal and perverted," Nangong Lingmo said, pouting her mouth.
"Hahah, you're right! Otherwise, Master wouldn't have kicked him out of the sect," Jade said, smiling like a flower.
"Ahh how embarrassing," Nangong Lingmo said. The most humiliating incident that could happen in the martial world was getting kicked out of one's sect.
"Hahah, yes it's rather embarrassing. However, he seems like he's having a great time here," Jade said.
"He always has some wine with him. It tastes spectacular! Elder Sister, do you have some of the wine as well? I'm craving for it now," Nangong Lingmo said.
"I'm afraid he's the only one who has it. In the entire sect, he is the only person who can craft wine of that quality. This is exactly why he's so admired even after he got kicked from the sect, and also the reason I came for him as his Junior Sister. Hahah!" Jade said and laughed. "However, I'll ask for some wine from him later. I'll make sure you can drink until you're satisfied."
"Alright, deal! I'll call Sister Weiwei now. Naughty Boy should be with her right now. I'll ask when they're coming back," Nangong Lingmo said happily.
In the car, Murong Weiwei was surprised that Nangong Lingmo phoned her since it was the first time it happened. "Lingmo, is everything fine? Why did you call me out of the blue?" she asked
"Heheh, Sister Weiwei, are you with Naughty Boy now?" Nangong Lingmo asked loudly.
Guo Huai heard Nangong Lingmo's voice and said loudly, "Kiddo, what is it? Are you going through your puberty this young? Do you miss me already?"
"Naughty Boy, why are you so arrogant even after you're chased out from your sect? Let me tell you, I know everything about you already. When are you guys coming back? Your Junior Sister is with me now," Nangong Lingmo said.
"Lingmo, what Junior Sister? Brother Huai and I will reach you in no time. What do you want to eat for lunch? Let's eat together," Murong Weiwei said, smiling.
"Alright, alright. We'll talk later when we meet. I'll wait for you guys at the canteen together with Sister Jade. Go there immediately when you're in school," Nangong Lingmo said before ending the call.
"The 'Sister Jade' she was referring to should be Chang Xiaoyu. She's at our dorm," Murong Weiwei said as she looked at Guo Huai.
"Kicked out of the sect? My junior sister? Hahah! It's getting more and more interesting. I can't wait to see who this girl is," Guo Huai said.
"Ye, Brother Huai just called. He'll reach school very soon. He asked us to meet at Sixth Grandpa's place to eat together," Tang Xi said to Su Ye.
"You can go yourself if you want to. Look at the jerk! How many days has he been in our school? He has this many girls by his side already!" Su Ye said angrily, pouting.
"Are you jealous? I haven't even said anything being his first wife. Why is a bed warmer like you getting jealous before me?" Tang Xi asked, smiling.
"Pff! You're going to be locked in the cold palace very soon. Why are you still so calm?" Su Ye asked.
[TL note: The cold palace is where emperors of the past banish their disfavored queens and concubines.]
"Well, it's fine if you don't want to go. I'll give Youyou and Sister Lingling a call. Brother Huai said that he'll make sure we drink until we're satisfied today," Tang Xi said before calling You Youyou's phone.
"I'll go! I must go. I want to see what this evil witch is capable of!" Su Ye said loudly, determined.
"Lingling, who's calling?" Lin Shuang asked with a smile when she noticed Sun Lingling who looked very uncomfortable. In the office, Sun Lingling was helping Lin Shuang in the office. When her phone rang, her face immediately reddened. As Tang Xi was Guo Huai's first wife, she felt like she was caught for stealing the other party's husband.
"Guo Huai is back. Tang Xi asked me to go have lunch together with them," Sun Lingling said very unnaturally.
"I'll follow you there! Naughty Boy hasn't been to class for a while. Knowledge Championship will begin very soon. I have to talk to him seriously," Lin Shuang said loudly.
Before Guo Huai and Murong Weiwei reached school, the school's online forum had a disturbance once again.
"World War III is going to happen in Sixth Grandpa's restaurant as the new beauty stands up for herself," a new thread got posted. If paparazzis saw the picture attached, they would undoubtedly hire the student who photographed the scene. It was captured so perfectly that it seemed like a professional's work. The youngster behind the picture must be really talented to be a paparazzi.
In class, Qian Duoduo suddenly received a phone call from a student from Class Two. "Brother Duoduo, the forum this year is a lot more active than when you were in charge. Look at the picture attached in the newest post. So professional!" Qian Duoduo then immediately switched his laptop on.
"Damn it! Is the backyard on fire? No way, I have to take a look with my own eyes!" Qian Duoduo said before rushing out of the class towards the canteen, leaving his laptop on the table.

Are you up on your mythical creatures?
If so, you will surely have heard of the chupacabra.
The mythical beast, whose name translates as 'goat sucker', is said to roam parts of the Americas.
The first reported sighting was in Puerto Rico in 1995, and since then there have been sightings from Mexico to Maine.
Bubba Stock, resident of Ratcliffe, Texas, claims he captured the mythical chupacabra on Sunday night after spotting it in a tree.
However not everyone's convinced.
A biologist has suggested the creature could in fact be a dog or coyote with mange – a skin disease that causes animals to lose their hair.
We've watched the video several times though, and it's not like any dog we've ever seen.
Bubba might be right. What do you think?

Andrus v. Idaho
ELR Citation: 10 ELR 20448
Nos. No. 79-260, 445 U.S. 715/(U.S., 04/16/1980)
The Supreme Court holds that the Carey Act of 1894 neither reserves a specific acreage of public domain desert land for any state nor automatically obligates the Secretary of the Interior to grant specific lands chosen by a state. In order to aid states in the reclamation of desert land, the Carey Act authorizes the Secretary to grant to a state, upon proper application, a maximum specified acreage of land in the public domain if the state demonstrates its ability to irrigate and reclaim it. The state of Idaho challenged the Bureau of Land Management's denial of its request for a specific tract arguing that at its passage the Act bound the United States to grant any lands requested by a state. The district court and the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals disagreed, ruling that the Act did not grant the state an absolute right to the specified acreage. The Supreme Court first holds that notwithstanding the failure of the state to exhaust its administrative remedies, there is a case or controversy between the parties because the Court's construction of the Carey Act will ultimately determine their respective rights and obligations. Affirming in part and reversing in part, the Court rejects that portion of the lower court's judgment which declares that Idaho is "entitled" to 2.4 million acres of Carey Act lands and that the Secretary is obligated to grant such lands. Rather, based on a review of the statutory history and the Interior Department's prior construction of the Act, the Court holds that the Carey Act neither automatically reserves to the state a specific acreage nor obligates the Secretary to approve automatically a state's request for specific lands.
In dissent, Justice Stevens finds the issues dealt with by the Court not ripe for decision.

I built a fireplace mantel with a piano inlay in the late 80's before I had my own shed. This table followed. I have not seen one before or since until a few days ago on this site. I posted a photo of my design here and said I might make a breadboard.
http://lumberjocks.com/topics/57273 second comment in. Copy my work if you like but don't call it your own.
The round long edge/ reverse and carved end is my signature table edge developed over the years.
From the early 80's, until we bought a computer in 2005, I didn't read woodworking magazines as a steady diet. I could see it was mainly people following trends and much work looked the same. A lot like Lyle Lovett, who loved Dylan but wouldn't listen to him because he didn't want to end up sounding or writing like Dylan
EDIT I hope you like this one as much as the other one.

Nice work indeed but i seriously doubt you were the first to come up with the design of a piano. Maybe you should give credit to that person before calling someone else out.

chadirvin, who would that person be? It would have to be pre 1990. I may have reinvented a wheel but I did it on my own.

First Steppe 1-2
- Bonus Type: Fighting
- 650 Enemy Strength
- 3 Waves
Pokemon Quest Expedition 1-2 is still considered part of the tutorial. You don't have any control over which Pokemon you bring, but you do get to handle all their moves.
In 1-2 your team consists of Pidgey, Rattata, and your starter Pokemon. You'll fight off three waves of Caterpie and Weedle. They're rather easy to defeat so long as you use your Pokemon's attacks. Your starter Pokemon is especially strong since it'll be the highest level. Use its moves to clear out Pokemon quickly when your team is surrounded.
The final and third wave has a Metapod surrounded by additional Caterpie. Use your starter Pokemon to deal massive damage to the Metapod with its moves.
