Mojo Monday Week 2
Week 2 Challenge: "Almost" Cards
So are you ready for a little kick in the mojo? This week I've cooked up another sketch for you, BUT there's an added challenge to go along with it. I have a box of what I call my "almost" cards. They're images that have been stamped, colored, matted, embellished, glittered - you name it, but for whatever reason they never made it onto a card. They're definitely card worthy and too pretty to be thrown away. See the photo? It's a whole little orphanage of homeless images! So my added challenge to you is to incorporate some of your "almost" material into this sketch. It could be stamped images or backgrounds, colored images, punches, scraps - whatever you have laying around that needs to find a home. In addition to a not so random RAK from me, the Week 2 winner will receive an assortment of beautiful 6x6 designer papers.
My "almost" material on this card is the entire Poochie image (The Cat's Pajamas), colored, embellished and matted on the scallop punch. He's probably been sitting in the almost box for 2 months now. Poor thing! Time to let him shine. The Paisley stamped Creamy Caramel background was also sitting in the box. And the scraps are from the Cosmo Cricket Gretel line and the Daisy D Beacon Hill line. Cardstocks used are Cranberry Crisp and So Saffron and the sentiment is Verve Visual Thoughtful Phrases.
Of all my punches, I think my Giga Scallop Circle punch is my absolute favorite. However, it is sometimes hard to think of good, original layouts on a 4.25 x 5.5" card, because the punch is just so ginormous! So I set to work on a sketch that would make these scalloped beauties shine. Hope you like it. If you don't have scallop punches, regular circles are fine or squares - the sketch is just meant as a jumpstart to get you into your craft room and stirring up some mojo! Have fun!
Okay, here's the slideshow of the Week One entries! Enjoy!

Julee, All those bits kicking round in the box but turning one into a proper card was quite a challenge - made a man's one as I never have enough of them and don't enjoy them as a rule.

Awesome sketch Julie...I sometimes do them, but rarely post them. But this sketch is wonderful, and I like how my shot at it turned out. Plus it always feels good to use something you had started...but never quite made it. Thanks for the inspiration. Here it is: http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/gallery/photo/669798?cat=5881

This was a great challenge. And the first sketch challenge I ever did. The item from my "almost" box (I call it "Work-in-progress" box) was the butterfly. I have some of them left from some wedding favours I did in August and really love their elegance.
There is also a detail photo in the same gallery.

Join Childnet's school consultation into best practices in preventing and responding to cyberbullying:
- Help inform and shape national cyberbullying strategies
- Profile your school on a national level
Childnet, as part of the UK Safer Internet Centre, is in the process of creating new guidance for schools about preventing and responding to cyberbullying, as well as accompanying teaching resources. This work is supported by the European Commission and UK Government and will be launching in early 2016.
In developing this work, Childnet are looking to find examples and ideas of what schools are doing to prevent and respond to cyberbullying so they can share best practices with schools across the UK.
Childnet are inviting school staff to complete the following short survey which should take about 15 minutes.
Schools will have the opportunity to add their name to the national cyberbullying guidance for schools.
If you have any queries, please contact firstname.lastname@example.com.
Complete the online survey here: www.surveymonkey.com/s/WGZQ3TZ
Deadline: 17 June 2015

Raiselife is a project funded by the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation program coordinated by Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt from Cologne, Germany. Using molten salt as heat transfer fluid is a challenge for engineers and for companies delivering components for Solar Power Plants. This also applies to tubes and pipes.
During the Raiselife project, Vallourec discussed with several solar players about the specific demand of the tubular solutions for solar power plants. Meanwhile the needs and requirements are outlined. The technical sticking points are identified and the next step is working on intelligent tubular solutions to meet all the requirements.
Based on its long-standing experience in the steels and alloys already used in the energy market, Vallourec shares its expertise in the most advanced ferritic steel, stainless steel or nickel base alloy tubes and can also develop new tailor-made solutions for the specific demand of tubes submitted to particularly corrosive environments such as molten salts currently envisaged in solar power plants. Vallourec's experiences made in nuclear power plants seem to be very helpful for tubular solutions for solar power plants and the experts see opportunities to draw parallels. First ideas have to be underpinned either by testing material already used in nuclear power plants with molten salt or by finding other proper ways to provide the most competitive tube in the requested size range.

$25 for $50 at Restaurant.com AND $25 at Michael's
I'll be up front and tell you I bought this because I had a credit at Weekly Plus and I could spend $50 in Michael's at the drop of a hat so even without the Restaurant.com portion this is a deal that works for me.
If you know you'll be working on a large craft project soon or that you will be buying Christmas gifts from Michael's, then you should get this and the Restaurant.com certificates are basically just FREE.
Restaurant.com is NOT gift certificates to restaurants, so please don't be confused. You are purchasing high value coupons at local restaurants. So you might pay $10 for a $25 off of a $50 meal.

Fianna Fáil Education Spokesperson Thomas Byrne TD has called for a long-term programme of investment in third level education to bolster the sector.
Deputy Byrne made the comments in advance of the publication of the Times Higher Education's world university rankings.
"While it appears the position of Trinity College Dublin is not yet finalised, UCD has slipped out of the top 200 institutions in the world. Virtually all Irish universities have experienced a decline in rankings," said Deputy Byrne.
"While not too much should be made of such international rankings, they are nonetheless an important signal of quality to international students and for attracting research funding.
"Our universities and their staff have been doing a good job in difficult circumstances and still provide a very high quality of education and research. However due to the legacy of exchequer under-funding since 2012, they simply do not have enough resources to compete on the same terms with their peers.
"Across higher education, core expenditure for each student is down by 22% since 2011. This has fed directly into the decline in rankings amongst Irish universities.
"Funding reductions have resulted in a sharp deterioration in the staff / student ratio in universities from 1:15 to 1:19.5. This ratio is a key indicator of the quality of teaching, and compares to an average of 1:14 across the rest of the OECD.
"There has been virtually no new State investment in buildings and research facilities since 2008, and an estimated 40% of the Higher Education system's infrastructure is now considered below standard.
"A strong higher education system is vital in bringing about high quality research and producing the skilled graduates needed to attract investment. Fianna Fáil has been consistently clear that €100 million core funding needs to be invested from general taxation into our higher level institutions to enhance quality and bolster our universities competitiveness," concluded Deputy Byrne.

"When diet is wrong, medicine is of no use. When diet is correct, medicine is of no need."
Ayurvedic Proverb
Here is my green smoothie recipe for increased energy and vitality! A great way to boost your metabolism, and help shift your body from winter into spring. This is a basic recipe tested and tasted, it works well with creative options (protein powders, collagen, spirulina) added in for a nutrition boost. If you want a sweeter version, a spoonful of raw honey or pure maple syrup will do the trick. So try it, experiment with your ingredients, and share your results!
For best results use a high power machine for breaking up raw vegetables and fruit fibers.
You will need:
1 washed organic green apple, a ripe pear or both! (cut up with skin on)
1/2 ripe avocado and/or 1 spoonful of *coconut oil
2 washed organic celery ribs (sliced to fit in your blender)
1/2 frozen banana (pre-peeled, cut up and frozen into chunks for easy use)
1 whole organic orange, clementine or lemon (ends cut off, freshly squeezed with a few slices of rind)
1 small washed organic carrot (cut up with skin on)
1 thumb-size piece of raw ginger (peeled and roughly cut-up)
moderate handful of organic washed baby spinach leaves or *super greens
1- 1 1/2 cups *coconut water, *aloe vera juice or cold spring water
Puree all ingredients and enjoy! Best if consumed in the morning.
Green apples and pears are full of fiber! They promote cardiovascular, digestive and respiratory health. Best stored in refrigerator or cool environment.
Celery is an excellent source of antioxidants, beneficial enzymes, vitamins and minerals. Celery lowers inflammation assisting in balanced cholesterol and blood pressure levels. A wonderful digestive aid, reducing bloating, protecting the liver and decreasing ulcers. It has amazing anti-microbial and chemo protective compounds called polyacetylenes that help reduce toxicity, and fight against cancer cell formation.
Bananas are instant energy, full of natural sugars (sucrose, fructose and glucose), amino acids (tryptophan boosting serotonin levels), iron, potassium, magnesium, and are high in soluble fiber.
The ripened dark patches on banana skin produces a substance called TNF (tumor necrosis factor) which has the ability to combat abnormal cells, promotes higher immunity enhancement and chemo protective qualities.
Avocado are high in heart healthy monounsaturated fats, promotes eye health and brain function, improving nutrient absorption. They are full of fiber, potassium and vitamin C.
Coconut oil is a natural saturated fat, that increases healthy (HDL) cholesterol levels in the body. Coconut oil contains medium chain fatty acids that are metabolized efficiently creating energy, boosting brain, cardiac, kidney and immune function. It is an anti-inflammatory, chemo protective oil that helps skin glow, prevents gum disease and tooth decay.
Citrus fruits are powerhouses with too many benefits to list here, but some amazing qualities enhance your brain, heart, kidneys, skin, bones, digestive and immune systems. The citrus peels contain 5-10 times more vitamins and nutrients than the fruit itself, so if you are using the rinds, buy organic and wash the fruit thoroughly. Citrus fruits are a solid source of fiber, folate, antioxidants, phytonutrients (biologically active compounds found in plants), and Vitamin C assisting in the absorption of iron.
Carrots are full of vitamins A, K, folate, B6 and minerals of manganese, potassium, copper and iron. They help balance blood sugar levels, assist in healthy heart and eyesight function, and boosts digestive and immune systems.
Ginger is a wonderful anti inflammatory digestive aid. It is a chemo protective, immune boosting and pain sensory inhibitor root spice. Best consumed raw, sliced or grated.
Super greens are kale, spinach, collards, beet and turnip greens, red and green romaine, swiss chard, arugula, parsley, and many more. They are full of vitamins A, C, E and K, anti-viral, anti-bacterial, and anti-inflammatory. You really can't get enough of these nutrient dense greens filled with immune boosting power and cellular regenerators. Super greens can be eaten in their natural state (green leafy vegetables, broccoli), or in a compressed green powder, easing their way into smoothies. I personally like to promote the lesser processed foods, this smoothie tastes great with fresh green leafy super greens. Check your local health food store and explore the different options.
Coconut water has so many health benefits. It's an excellent anti-inflammatory, rehydration drink, full of electrolytes, amino acids and trace minerals boosting energy and balancing blood sugar levels. Coconut water contains cytokinins, the plant version of human cytokines. This hormone like substance enhances the reproductive, growth and development, skin repair, cellular healing, homeostatic regulation, blood clotting and immune systems of the body!
Aloe Vera juice is a rich source of hydrating antioxidants, cell growth stimulators, pain inhibitor properties, and essential nutrients. It's a powerhouse of calcium, sodium, iron, potassium, manganese, zinc, folic acid, Vitamins A, B1, B2, B6, C, E and amino acids.

I tried to be (but wasn't) consistent about the assignment even where it wasn't needed in case we made changes in the future that assumed the variables were non-null.

After hours and hours of working on your CV, sending out applications, and waiting tentatively for that all important phone call, you've done it. You've managed to land yourself an interview. Now you need to make sure that you do well enough to get a job offer. We've all been told that first impressions count, and it can take only a matter of seconds for someone to make their mind up about you. With that being the case, you need to ensure that you are putting your best foot forward. Below are a few things to consider to ensure that you are making the right kind of first impression.
What you wear and how you wear it can say a lot about a person. You turn up to an interview in jeans, dirty trainers, and a hoody, you just lost yourself the job before you even opened your mouth. If you own one, wear a suit. Whether you are male or female, tall or short, a suit will make you look professional and conscientious. If you don't own a suit, a simple combination of trousers or skirt and a smart shirt will do. Make sure you are dressing in a professional manner that would fit in with the environment you are seeking to join. Whatever you choose to wear, make sure it is clean, presentable, and fits you properly. Wearing something that is too large, or too small, can ruin the effect that formal business attire seeks to create.
If there's one thing that can make or break an outfit, it's shoes. This isn't just fashion advice; it's all about presenting the right image. In a formal setting like a job interview, black should be your shoe colour of choice. You should also stick with leather too. Shoes should be clean and well polished. Try to avoid excessively high heels too. Even if you are used to spending your days in six-inch stiletto heels, you should refrain from donning them for an interview. A kitten heel will add some height and elegance without sacrificing a professional look.
Accessories can help to create a professional appearance, but too much can ruin the effect. An attractive watch, a necklace or pair of earrings, or even a pair of rimless glasses like those at http://www.onlineopticiansuk.com/rimless-glasses-t5 can help to add the right tone to an outfit. Jewellery and accessories should be as unobtrusive as possible and add to a professional appearance. Think carefully about what impression your outfit gives off to someone who does not know your personality.
There you have it, a few important things to consider when preparing for that all-important job interview. Make sure to do plenty of research on the company you are applying for so that you can talk the part as well as look it. It might seem like useless information, and they may not ask it, but knowing the background of the company you are applying for can go a long way during an interview discussion.

Welcome to this Q&A session where we answer these great questions:
- Could your aches and pains be related to what you are eating
- What to do when gastric bypass fails
- Can changing your diet make a difference to your health conditions
- How to eliminate simple carbs
Subscribe: Apple Podcasts | Android | RSS
Hello and welcome to episode 75 of the GFE Podcast. Today we are covering a variety of questions and topics that have come in. If you have a question you'd like answered on a future Q&A podcast please head over to GFE.com and in the top navigation you will find a section you can submit a question. You can either send an email question or leave a voicemail using some swanky software we've got there. You can simply press go and record something straight from your computer. I just love technology!
We've actually had this software available for a while but no one has been brave enough to use it yet, so will you be the first one to leave a voicemail and get featured on the GFE podcast? Well who knows.
First up today I've got an email I received that had a few interesting things that I thought we should cover. So first let me read the email.
Question 1
I am suffering with on-going pain throughout my body (started with my hips, then shoulders, knees, elbows, and now just seems to be my whole body). I spent the fall going to various doctors, physical therapy, and having x-rays, an MRI, and blood work. All did not indicate any problem, which is great, but the pain is worse than ever (this started about a year and a half ago).
Since I can't get any answers "medically," and all things point to some type of inflammatory problem, I decided to look into anti-inflammatory diets (would prefer a more natural remedy anyway). I am really hoping to find something that can help (and am willing to do the work). The daily pain (and lack of sleep because of it) are taking a toll.
So that's a very interesting email right?
I know that there are many people who have all of these mysterious symptoms and have been to doctors seeking the answer to their problems, some kind of answer. Because if we have some kind of diagnosis then we can deal with the problem, right?
Sure, it certainly does help and it can be incredibly frustrating when there doesn't seem to be an answer. But often there are things we can do for ourselves to move forward on the right track.
Sometimes one of the best things that can happen to us is that we don't get a "medical" solution. I mean you can look at that in a positive light because it means there is hopefully nothing major wrong. So where that leaves us is seeking more natural solutions and alternatives that are not 'medical' and there are plenty of alternatives out there.
It also leaves us in a situation where we need to become self empowered and that's often a really great thing when it comes to our health. Sometimes if you get a diagnosis and get put into a box it can force some people to get lazy. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that a diagnosis isn't necessary, it certainly can be, but what I'm trying to say is that whether or not you are labeled with a condition or not, it's still best to get as proactive as you can with your health.
Anyway, getting back to this problem of aches and pains throughout the body with no seeming solution. It is very interesting that if you go down the medical channels you will not be looking at things like nutrition, toxicity, detoxification pathways in the body, or any other alternatives.
Aches and pains in the body can be related to the food we eat. I know this sounds strange to many people and over the years I've had several comments from people saying that what they eat can't affect their muscles. But oh yes it can. What do you think feeds out muscles and provides nutrients to the muscles to move, well our blood does and the nutrients that travels through our blood is a direct result of what we eat.
The interesting thing about this is that things like gluten have been linked to aches and pains in the body. I know this sounds strange again because you might have heard of celiac disease and know that this is related to gluten. But often times if we did have a problem with some type of food we'd expect to have digestive issues. And this is the interesting thing about food sensitivities or allergies, they don't necessarily result in digestive problems, sure they can present as digestive symptoms but more often than not they are presenting as things like aches and pains, headaches, fatigue, lack of mental clarity and many other things.
One thing is for sure, if your pain is worse than ever or not going away it has to be something. Now I'm not saying it is food related but if this is happening to you then nutrition and food sensitivities are definitely a good avenue to explore and one of the first things that needs to get the cut is gluten. There is lots of scientific research that shows non-celiac gluten sensitivity results in symptoms like behavioral changes, bone or joint pain, muscle cramps, leg numbness, weight loss, chronic fatigue, and a foggy mind. Some other common allergenic foods include dairy, eggs, peanuts, and soy. And of course if your diet is full of packaged and processed foods that contain lots of refined carbohydrates, sugar, and additives, then this can also be an irritant that can cause increased inflammation and aches and pains.
It's also unfortunate that when we are in pain it affects our sleep and causes us more stress and this increases our pain and inflammation. So it can leave us in a bit of a repetitive cycle.
Don't give up when you find yourself in a situation. Dietary changes are definitely a great place to start, move more, so some kind of exercise or stretching can help too. And just keep exploring your avenues for solutions. But make those dietary changes starting with the gluten and see how things go.
Question 2
Next up I got an email saying.
My biggest struggle is I am overweight, fatigued, turning 40 this year. Had gastric bypass in December 2008 and since 2010 have put back on 85 pounds!
Seriously if this is you as well you're not alone in these struggles, many people who have gastric bypass put the weight back on. It's really unfortunate because it is sold to us as an effective solution for people who have large amounts of weight to lose. But more often than not I've seen people put the weight back on. It is sad that this happens to anyone but the only way to overcome the weight issues is to change our habits, and gastric surgery doesn't teach us that, right?!
Sure we have the surgery but we're left with the same habits as we had before. Surgery is expensive and you could put that money into hiring a personal nutritionist and over the long term you'd have a much better outcome. Or at the very least if you are in a position where you are going to have gastric surgery, then factor in some consultations and assistance from a nutritionist who can help you get some good habits in place after the surgery.
As for the person who sent this email I suggested that they had a great advantage because being just 40 this is young and gives a person plenty of time to turn it around. Even if you're 50 or 60 or even 70 you can still turn things around. The body has an amazing capacity to heal when we give it the right things.
So don't give up on yourself if you find yourself struggling because there is plenty you CAN do. I always suggest answering just one question: What one thing can you do to get started? Just one small step. Get up tomorrow and just do that one small thing. Don't think about the long road or feel bad about what's happened, just start being proactive with one thing. Stick to that and then bring in the next thing. That's really the easiest way to get started and keep on going. So what one thing can you do to get started? Just one small step. Think about that and get up tomorrow and just do that one small thing.
We did cover the topic of gastric banding back in episode 39, so there might be some more info you can listen to there as well.
Question 3
Here is another email I received:
I am suffering from Psoriasis, Proriatic Arthritis, Ankylosing Spondylitis, Inflammatory Bowel Disease and Sjogrens Syndrome. Allergic to all the Biologic medication. Conditions out of control – I am desperate. Hoping to make a difference with my diet???
The answer to that is a definite YES.
All of these conditions are inflammatory in nature. Many of them are associated with food issues with poor detoxification pathways in the body that contributes to an increased inflammatory response in your body. If you have listened to some of our previous podcasts on inflammation you may know that when inflammation starts it sometimes gets on a roll of it's own and this is why conditions can flare up and get out of control like this. So you need to set about putting the fire out, so to speak.
Diet is one very vital component that can help.
What we eat can modulate our immune system and the inflammatory response that occurs. Again if we take ourselves back to what we were talking about at the beginning of the podcast about food sensitivities being related to symptoms we may be experiencing elsewhere. This is true for conditions like psoriasis, arthritis, and IBS. Certainly things may not be 100% related to nutrition but if you currently have a pretty poor diet then I can guarantee that by improving what you eat you will start to calm that fire down and reduce many of the symptoms.
I'd suggest cutting out the gluten first and I already explained why earlier in the podcast. And start on an anti-inflammatory type diet plan that includes lots of fresh foods. I would also recommend taking a good probiotic if you don't already. A couple of great probiotic strains that help with inflammation are bifidobacterium infantis and saccharomyces bourlardii. So if you can find a probiotic combo that includes both of those, that's great.
Question 4
How do I eliminate simple carbs?
That's a great question and really there's a simple answer and that is just start eliminating them.
One of the best things we can do when it comes to eliminating any food is to find replacements and alternatives and do it one step at a time because often when we just go cold turkey it leaves us with cravings and we might go on a binge or just struggle to cut the foods out that we are trying to eliminate.
So let's go through a bit of a list of simple carb foods and share some alternatives you might include. Then you can just select some of these things and start swapping them out for better options. Then before you know if you will have eliminated them, or at least reduced them a great deal.
- So let's start with breakfast cereals, these contain lots of simple carbs, so instead you might make some porridge with real oats, or a muesli, or eating eggs for breakfast is often a great way to start the day.
- Then there's toast, well if you eat white bread you can choose a wholemeal option instead. Gluten free is even better but if you are going to eat a gluten based bread go for rye or spelt as these are usually digested better than wheat.
- The same goes for white rice, white flour, and white crackers. Choose brown rice, wholemeal flours, wholemeal or whole grain type flours.
- Exchange white pasta for brown rice or quinoa pasta, or use some sautéed shredded cabbage as a replacement for pasta all together.
- When it comes to sugar, people often struggle a lot and the truth is there is no easy way to reduce it. You can substitute sugar with better options like honey, molasses, rapadura sugar, and maple syrup. Even though these are still sugar at least they contain some nutrients, whereas white sugar has zero nutritional value. So often what that means is you need to find healthy dessert and sweet recipes you can make at home because healthy sweets aren't too easy to find anywhere else. Also don't get fooled by health bars, like apricot bars and that sort of thing because these often contain loads of sugar.
- Eat more veggies in replacement for any type of simple carbs. So instead of having your bread or pasta, have a side of vegetables instead.
- Try eating some beans and legumes, there are many different kinds and they are very filling. So an easy way to do this is get some hummus, which is made from chickpeas. Chop some carrot sticks and dip them in or eat them with some kind of whole grain crackers if you want to.
- If there is some kind of processed or packaged food that you like and you're trying to reduce this, then find a replacement option.
- Instead of a burger bun or taco you can substitute with lettuce leaves or some type of leafy greens. It's a great way to get more veggies in and it is surprisingly good.
There are actually lots of ideas out there so you just have to start somewhere and then keep trying to find those alternatives and substitutes.
I hope you find a few of these ideas helpful but if you ever need some more food help or inspiration, we have plenty of Food Masterclasses over at the GFE virtual nutrition school, in fact we had a new class just start a couple of weeks ago called Stress Free Eating, which was all about helping you make healthy fast food meals, use grocery store items to make quick dinners, and tips for eating out and under stress.
We've got another class opening soon called the BIG 10 Masterclass, which uses jut 10 ingredients to make 10 meals, so it just shows you that you don't have to have a whole lot of food in the house to make interesting and tasty meals. The BIG 10 has 3 different menus, roast chicken, ground beef and a veggie menu, so there are over 30 easy recipes, with cooking classes, all with tips and tricks to make eating easier. And I'd say most of the things in those menus are 15 minute meals, some are bakes but those are so easy because you just put things on a tray then set the timer and come back to eat it an hour later.
So if you are looking for food inspiration I'd recommend you check out our Virtual Nutrition School because we've got lots of recipes, cooking classes, food tips and tricks, and it's all in one central location to help keep you inspired and eating well.
I hope you've enjoyed today's topics be sure to head over to the GFE website to send in your own question.
Take care of yourself and see you soon.

Looking back to the P language (the style language used by Grif, Symposia and Amaya (?)), I still regret one of its wonderful features. It was possible, in the P language, to set the value of a property in function of the value of another property assigned to the parent element, the next element, the previous element, and so on. For instance : width = previous.width + 0.5cm That mechanism was not so simple to implement in the Grif editing tools but allowed to produce very powerful and professional stylesheets. I dream of a similar mechanism in CSS. That mechanism could be achieved by the use of selectors on the right side of a declaration. For instance (still dreaming) : color : inherit(TABLE.header) or even color : inherit(BODY, background-color) Inheritance could also be completely deferred. For instance : inherit : inherit(HEADER) All inherited values would then come from the first HEADER element in the document... It does not break the usual inheritance and specifity mechanisms of CSS. Miam ! Just an old dream... Don't flame too strong :-) </Daniel> ___________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Achetez, vendez! Ŕ votre prix!

Congrats on getting it started. Great job on the wood furniture!ReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks! I made the furniture to go into the Barbie mansion that I'd built years ago in California. The mansion is in storage right now as I've no place to put it, but someday I'll have room (sigh).
Hi, Doll Observers Sister! What do you mean "please be kind"? This furniture is AWESOME, and I dare anybody to comment otherwise. *puts up her dukes*ReplyDelete

Thanks so much for stopping by and joining my site! Thank you also for your kind comments on my furniture. I'm currently working on another couch and matching chair. After that, I'm going to build the bar for the Front Street Bar & Grill! Yes, I do miss the Mansion. I have pics in a box around here somewhere. LOL Maybe someday I'll find room around here to put it, or, at the very least, find the box the pics are in! LOL. :-)
Nice job!!!!!!!!!!! Wish you had shown that the drawers all open though. Talented lady for sure! Just have fun and remember this is for you!!!ReplyDelete
Thanks! Means a lot coming from you. I never thought about the drawers, but I'll remember that for next time. And, yes, I will have fun with this! :-)

i'm feeling heartbroken. i know it could be worse, it could be better.. blah blah blah. but i just feel terribly emotional. this weekend is appears to us that liam lost quite a bit more vision. it basically happened overnight. thursday, liam and i went hiking with a friend and her dog and he was his usual slightly clumsy self, but he could manage a hike without a leash. sunday morning patrick and i noticed liam had a hard time finding where to step off the bed, which we thought was weird, but also thought maybe he was disoriented from just waking up? we took him on a hike and it was nuts. like he could barely walk the trail. and today i took liam on a run with a leash and liam couldn't keep up. he circled around and behind me, clearly confused and scared about not knowing where he was. he couldn't even find his friend adele's house like he usually can. when i called his name it took a while for his eyes to find me, if they did at all. i came home after our run and just bawled. i'm trying to be strong and keep things happy for liam, but i can't help but feel a little devastated.
so this afternoon we took liam to the opthamologist just to check why his vision decreased so rapidly, and be sure there wasn't anything besides PRA wrong. the doctor's were super kind to us, and luckily there isn't any neurological damage or anything, all they could really tell us was he has advanced degeneration in his retina. like we already know. i'm just kinda in shock at how much our baby boy has changed within only 36 hours. man, am i missing that 30% vision he once had. the doctor told us things will get easier once liam adjusts and realizes he can't see, so he'll start using his other senses more to move around... but right now i gotta say it's really really painful for me to watch. he's still trying to see.
i know liam is going to be just fine. he's still happy, though confused, it's just silly little me that's feeling pretty low. today i bought the book 'living with blind dogs'. in a way i just kinda hoped and believed that liam would never go blind. i didn't think i would have to buy a book on living with a blind dog. ouch. it hurts right now.
i had to help liam go outside this evening, putting him in this little dirt spot he lays in sometimes, and i watched as he just stayed there... and realized he was planning on staying there until i helped him out. normally we keep the front door open and liam steps outside and sits as he pleases, but today he couldn't do it without our help. that's the hardest part, seeing that he can't be independent, and go roll in the dirt or find a stick on his own.
i guess all i can do is wait for time, time will heal me. and liam's already healed. ha most of what he cares about is food! and hugs and walks.. and those things aren't going anywhere. it feels a little like mourning today... you know that feeling like it might be, hopefully could be?, a dream? speaking of dreams, i just lost it a little while ago thinking that liam can only see now in his dreams. waahhhh. my heart.
more than anything i feel just this sense of finality. there's nothing that can be done, and being sad longer than necessary doesn't do a thing. so i cry, buy a book on blind dogs, and move on. deep breaths. liam is still here with us, in no pain, and smiling. that's all that matters.

Trendy Film Review: 'Half of a Yellow Sun' Valiantly Tries to Deliver
The New York African Film Festival held it's annual gala last Friday, and it was no surprise that the film chosen for celebratory purposes was the ambitious and highly anticipated, Half of a Yellow Sun, starring Chiwetel Ejiofor, Thandie Newton and Anika Noni Rose.
Based on the 2006 novel by Nigerian writer, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, the story is set against the backdrop of the controversial and historical Biafran war. It has expectedly been met with opposition from Nigerian censors who claim that they are working on guaranteeing a release date once the film has been certified for release. But it's quite evident that the idea of revisiting a period that erupted due to tribal strife is not necessarily an ideal concept, particularly given the current climate.
There never really is a perfect time to unleash the tendrils of the past, but while director Biyi Bandele waits for his country's approval, we have to get to the task of dissecting the elements.
Half of a Yellow Sun has been touted as a sweeping epic, at least that was always the intention. It was refreshingly consuming to see images from the war depicted with utmost precision. The desperation and helplessness that encased the victims, coupled with the stark brutality against the Igbo people was a needed reminder of what past generations lived through. It was also a nice touch to see vintage footage of British reporters bravely conveying the unfolding events and the mastermind himself Odumegwu Ojukwu, assuming his role as the ultimate savior.
But obviously this isn't a documentary; this is a story that centers around two society sisters, the somewhat snobbish and uptight Kainene played by Anika Noni Rose and the earthier Olanna played by Thandie Newton. Both girls have enjoyed an upper-crust upbringing and are well educated enough to demand the best life has to offer. They are also able to garner the affections from equally charismatic men, the accomplished and well respected Odenigbo, played by Ejiofor is a prominent academic who has captivated the heart of Olanna, and English actor Joseph Mwale embraces his role as the sometimes wobbly reporter Richard.
There were periods of nostalgic offerings that would easily elude those of you who are not privy to the instituted customs. But overall, the film only managed to deliver an elaborate history lesson, with the characters serving as glorified prop. Clearly there was a sense of urgency attached to this production due to the sloppy editing and choppy scenes. It was challenging feeling any connection to the characters, mainly due to the stilted dialogue and stony energy.
Half of a Yellow Sun, was obviously conceived out of a dire need to elevate the status of Nollywood in the realm of mainstream acceptance, but unfortunately, it was only able to reveal all the nuances that make the soap-operish quality of Nigeria's version of Hollywood a hard sell for a global audience.

How to Scan for Update Compliance in VMM
Updated: May 13, 2016
Applies To: System Center 2012 SP1 - Virtual Machine Manager, System Center 2012 R2 Virtual Machine Manager, System Center 2012 - Virtual Machine Manager
After you assign computers to an update baseline in Virtual Machine Manager (VMM), you can scan the computers to determine their compliance status for the baselines.
When a computer is scanned for compliance, WSUS checks each update in the assigned update baselines to determine whether the update is applicable and, if the update is applicable, whether the update has been installed. After a compliance scan, for every computer, each update has a compliance status of Compliant, Non Compliant, Error, Pending Reboot, or Unknown. You can view compliance properties for additional information.
The compliance scan focuses only on the updates that the administrator has identified as important by adding them to a baseline. That enables organizations to monitor for compliance for what is deemed important for their organization.
The following changes can cause an Unknown update status for a computer, and should be followed by a scan operation to access the computer's compliance status:
A host is moved from one host group to another host group.
An update is added to or removed from a baseline that is assigned to a computer.
The computer is added to the scope of a baseline.
You should perform all updates in Compliance view. The Scan and Remediate actions also are available in Fabric Resources view. However, if you scan and remediate updates in Fabric Resource view, you cannot see the results of the operations.
To display Compliance view in the Fabric workspace
Open the Fabric workspace.
In the Fabric pane, click Servers.
On the Home tab, in the Show group, click Compliance.
The results pane displays the compliance status of the computers in the VMM fabric. Because you have not yet scanned the computers for compliance, the computers that you added to a baseline have a compliance status of Unknown and an operational status of Pending Compliance Scan.
To scan computers for compliance
In Compliance view of the Fabric workspace, select the computers that you want to scan.
On the Home tab, in the Compliance group, click Scan.
While the scan is in progress, the compliance status changes to Unknown. After the compliance scan completes, the computer's compliance status of each update is Compliant, NonCompliant, or Error. To bring noncompliant computers into compliance, you will perform update remediations in VMM.

Hiking as a Pastime
The food is only one part of the equation on maintaining a healthy lifestyle. The geography of Korea is 70 percent mountainous. What do people do when their country is covered with mountains? They go hiking! Because hiking is such a popular sport, Korea has many hiking clubs that offer weekly group outings for its members. Sunday is the biggest day for hiking because most people work Monday through Saturday. Unless you like crowds, avoid the mountains on Sundays! This is especially true during the autumn, when the entire country goes to admire the changing colors of the leaves.
In addition to hiking, the mountains or any park in Korea will have work out stations. This was a blessing when we first got here because we didn't know have a gym membership. These work out stations are essentially like weight rooms in a gym or fitness club. They usually include a place to do sit-ups or crunches, standing push-ups and stretching machines. Some nicer parks or mountains will have all kinds of machines like weight machines that you use to lift your own weight, ellipticals, a bench press, a large hoola hoop and much, much more.

Remove CycloneMasters
What is CycloneMasters?
CycloneMasters is a potentially unwanted program (PUP) that is also recognized as an 'adware'. It is usually presented as a handy shopping assistant that is going to analyze your needs and deliver the most relevant deals, discounts, coupons, promo codes, and similar things. Although from the first glimpse you may find this add-on trustworthy, in reality this program is annoying and, most importantly, useless. CycloneMasters has been developed for sole purpose – display commercial advertisements while users are browsing the net. Generally speaking, it is an advertising browser add-on that is set to serve not for its users but rather bring profit to its developers and affiliate parties. Therefore, you should not expect that this tool is going to provide you with a reliable service.
If it manages to infiltrate computers, it may diminish web browser's performance without a delay. That's because it may start initiating various system modifications, including Windows startup, registries, and browser's settings. Besides, CycloneMasters virus may start ruining your web browsing sessions on a daily basis. It may start generating intrusive advertisements which, as promised, inform about various deals and discounts. However, the amount of the pop-ups, banners, in-text links, and other forms of ads that are usually labeled as "Ads by CycloneMasters" or "CycloneMasters Ads" may be unbearable. Besides, some of them may appear to be managed by suspicious third parties seeking to spread other potentially unwanted programs or promote unreliable services. We say so clicking on some of the ads may end up with CycloneMasters redirects and a PUP or even virus on your PC's system. Besides, it may initiate various marketing campaigns posing a risk to your privacy. Once installed, this adware may drop tracking cookies on Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Internet Explorer, and Safari web browsers and start investigating your search terms, websites that you visit, data that you enter in them, clicks, IP address, PC's location and similar personally non-identifiable information. However, do not underestimate the importance of such data. Recent research has shown that browsing-related data may be used for affiliate marketing, email spamming, and other doubtful activities. Therefore, the sooner you remove CycloneMasters virus, the lower will be the chances for important data to leak, as well as for suspicious websites to visit. For full system check, try using Reimage.
How can CycloneMasters hijack my computer?
CycloneMasters adware is usually dispersed via freewares and sharewares. In most of the cases, it is disclosed when checking Advanced or Custom settings. Therefore, keeping in mind that people seldom check those settings, it's not surprising that so many users cannot explain where CycloneMasters virus came from. In order to avoid installation of potentially unwanted programs, the most important thing that you have to render is carefulness. Besides, you should not skip Advance/Custom settings unless you want browser add-ons, plug-ins toolbars, and extensions to be set by default. If you have already ended up with CycloneMasters virus on your PC's system, our recommendation would be to remove it ASAP.

I'm extremely excited to announce our newest project: PRETTY PEOPLE PULP. An official description is listed below:
PRETTY PEOPLE PULP is a collection demented short stories written by Jimmy Weber. Each story will be released one chapter a week until the story is finished. The stories are horrific, spooky, mysterious and, of course, disturbing.
The first edition of PRETTY PEOPLE PULP is EAT. EAT is the tale of a failed actress who developes a very troubling eating disorder. This nine chapter short story will leave you sick to your stomach each week yet hungry for more.
One thing that is very important to me is to have each story completely finished before they are posted. I hate it when web series say they will be weekly, but it's more like "whenever the creators can get to it." So don't you worry! A new chapter will be posted every Friday at 6:00pm. No if's, and's, or but's about it.
EAT is one of the best stories I have written. It's really gross and disturbing and something I would want to read. But more importantly, the main character is someone I really like and feel for.
We're gonna be sending INCUBATOR to a number of film festivals for the next year or so and I'm also busy writing the feature, so there probably won't be a lot of new video content added to the site. So to keep feeding you guys content, I figured PRETTY PEOPLE PULP would be the perfect solution. You can check it out at the link in the top menu bar or by visiting PrettyPeoplePictures.com/Pulp. So queue up your RSS readers and Instapaper and check back here every Friday at 6:00pm for your weekly dose of horror.

'Capturing the REAL - in response to the subject' took place in the Peterborough Museum and City Art Gallery at Peterborough on Saturday 7th of February 2015. The symposium consisted of an experimental round table discussion exploring the space between 'observation', 'interaction' and 'intervention'. Drawing from practices including field recording, photography, public engagement and data collation.
This symposium used a participatory format to encourage a discussion captured through live transcription, images and sound. Recordings made on the day will be used to create a series of 'episodes' for broadcast and future research.
Featuring contribution from artists throughout the day including Jack James, Barby Asante, Tom White, Lee Ashton (Beat This) and isik.knutsdotter, the event was punctuated with a series of short works by leading artists to stimulate discussion on the key themes of the day, including performances of new work by Kevin Logan and Mark Peter Wright commissioned for Capturing the Real.
Capturing the "REAL" was curated by Jack James' as part of his artist residency with Metal in Peterborough. This project is supported using public funding by the National Lottery through Arts Council England. The event was co-produced by Jack James, METAL and Tadeo Sendon.

SOME READERS ARE ASKING when, if ever, I will turn bearish. I've done so twice during my tenure here. But I couldn't now if I had to. Longtime readers know I won't call a peak until at least three months after I think it has already happened.
I am the seventh-longest-running columnist in FORBES' history. I stole my three-month rule from Joe Goodman, who ranks third, with a 23- year tenure that began in 1935. In my opinion he was the best ever.
Tremendous timer, super stock-picker -- and a stunning simplifier. Goodman knew bull markets have long, rolling tops, and bear markets are painfully slow. If he got you out three months after a top, you missed most of the drop, and he would be a hero.
He knew it was vastly easier to see a peak afterward, more so if you don't clutter your brain with prior biased forecasts. Joe simply waited until he could look back and see higher prices three months earlier.
Then he looked for problems that weren't widely appreciated. If he found them, he turned bearish. Following this practice helps me avoid getting spooked by corrections. I last used it in my Sept. 21, 1998 column explaining why you shouldn't bolt that market. I hope to live up to Joe's standards when the next bear market comes.
When will that be? I don't know. I'm thinking that it won't be until 2001. But I could be wrong. Until then, his three-month rule will keep us where we should be. In the meantime you might enjoy some other classic Goodman pearls: 1. Don't be a bull or bear all the time. 2. There is a time to buy, a time to sell and a long time to do nothing. 3. Never buy a stock that didn't rise in a bull market. Smart guys are out of it. 4. Don't buy the sympathy stock. Don't buy a weak railroad because a strong one has started to move. Everyone does this, and it is rarely profitable. 5. When a bull market peaks, sell the stock that rose most. It will fall fastest. Sell the stock that rose least. It didn't rise, therefore it must fall. 6. Early in a bear market the high-class stocks show the most class. 7. In a high market, confine yourself to high-quality stocks.
Hence, my advice now is to be 100% in stocks, 67% of that in America's 25 largest stocks (see my Mar. 22 column for a list), and 33% in high-quality foreign stocks like: Sweden's Electrolux (40, ELUX) is everywhere and everything in appliances -- the world's number one producer. You also know it in America as Frigidaire, Kelvinator, McCulloch, Tappan, Hoover, Husqvarna and Weed Eater. But it also has a vast array of professional appliances you never see. With 100,000 employees and $15 billion in revenue, Electrolux is wonderfully cheap, too, at 25% of annual revenue, 7 times earnings and 130% of book value. Check out Electrolux City at www.electrolux.com.
Another great value in consumer brand names is France's LVMH Mot Hennessy Louis Vuitton (53, LVMHY, www.lvmh.com). Three-fourths of its traffic in luxuries like liqueurs and perfumes, with names like Dom Prignon, Hennessy and Christian Dior, comes from outside France. With a lot of Asian exposure, LVMH reacted badly to the good life's decline in Asia. With Asia bottomed out, LVMH is on the rise again, too. Expect to see more deals, more brand names and a nicely rising stock price.
I recommended Tele Danmark (51, TLD, www.teledanmark.dk) on Dec. 1, 1997 at 29. It did well in 1998, but has declined some in 1999, so far.
It's time to buy again. While it has a pretty good lock on Denmark's phone business, its value is in global cellular phones, cable TV and Internet activity. For simple calls on cell phones it is the world's cheapest vendor. It is also one of the world's cheaper communications stocks. Sell if it exceeds 80 this year.
Dutch-based Ahold NV (37, AHO, www.ahold.nl) is one of the world's largest food retailers, and growing. On America's East Coast you know it as Stop & Shop, Giant, Giant Food, Bi-Lo, Tops, Finast and now Pathmark.
It spans 17 nations with 3,500 outlets and is a major overseas institutional and wholesale food supplier. Ahold should keep growing as its retailing know-how eliminates outdated, provincial overseas competitors. It is much cheaper than its seemingly high P/E of 35 indicates.

Single Family Detached
- 2 beds
- 1 baths
- $42,500 price
- 201908597 mls id
- Square Feet: 650 sqft
- Year Built: 1950
Near downtown in the 46805 zip code of Fort Wayne, and just west of Lakeside Park, this 2 bedroom bungalow is ready for a new owner! This home has been a rental home for the owner for quite some time, and now he'd like to pass the opportunity off to someone else to either own and live in the home, or use the home to start or add to a rental portfolio. Appliances are included, though not warranted. Some features and amenities include some updated windows, a newer furnace, a patio behind the home, a chain link fence around the back yard, and a storage shed. A few days of cleaning and touch-up would go a long ways towards making this home look really good! Taxes paid last year were only $588.42, and would have been even lower for an owner occupant with a homestead exemption! If you're looking for a place to live with a low mortgage payment, or if you'd like to own this for a rental property, set up an appointment to come see it! The last photo was taken from tax records, showing the home during a warmer time of the year, better landscaped.

WASHINGTON -- Newt Gingrich learned his lesson last week, after holding a fundraiser in a glass atrium downtown and drawing scores of protesters from Occupy DC, who shivered in the rain outside his lavish party.
On Tuesday night, the Republican front-runner took another stab at wooing Beltway insiders. But this time, he and his guests were ensconced in a shrouded room in Georgetown's landmark, ultra-establishment haunt, Cafe Milano. No invitations were leaked to the press about the party, and a source told The Huffington Post that the campaign made a last-minute decision to hold it. In the end, however, despite all their attempts at secrecy, Gingrich couldn't help but glad-hand his way through the main dining room.
The reception began around 6:30 p.m., when more than 100 well-heeled guests, many of whom looked under 40, made their way to the storied Italian restaurant to rub elbows with Newt. By most measures, the venue was a great choice: the staff at Milano is known for their discretion. But it's been a strange few months for owner Franco Nuschese's classic hot spot: In October, news outlets reported that Cafe Milano was the intended target of an Iranian plot to assassinate Saudi Arabia's ambassador to the U.S., a man who used to dine there frequently.
But there was no sign of the recent intrigue on Tuesday, in fact, the only visible oddity in the busy restaurant was a wall of demi-sheer, cream colored curtains pulled over every one of the windows encasing the front room, and obsessively guarded by Milano waiters and Gingrich staff, who worked in shifts.
By around 8:15 p.m., flashbulbs were going off every few seconds inside the party, and an extra staff member was posted outside the only door, ostensibly to shut the curtain behind departing guests. Newt's wife, Callista Gingrich, was visible through the sheer fabric -- her telltale platinum blond hair cast in silhouette against the drapes.
But despite the campaign's best efforts, guests floated between the party and the buzzing, dimly-lit dining room, many still wearing their "Newt 2012" name tags, which were handwritten, suggesting Gingrich's staff may not have printed up a formal set of them. Above the bar, the NHL's Philadelphia Flyers trounced the Washington Capitals on TV, and a few Gingrich guests crowded together to watch the ice hockey. As the clock passed nine, the waiter-bouncers grew more lenient about who came and went.
Inside, Newt and Callista stood far away from the draped entrance, and in opposite corners of the room from each other. Both were spotted laughing heartily as they chatted with supporters -- something voters don't often get to see on the campaign trail.
In the crowded dining room, a few of the restaurant's clientele seemed confused about what was going on behind Newt's curtain. "Milano is a place you go to be seen!" said an elegant older woman, who was dining with a friend. "So why on earth would anyone draw a curtain?"
The short answer is likely twofold: Firstly, as a way to prevent Occupy Wall Street, or anyone else, from spoiling the fun, and secondly, to avoid having to answer the sticky question about who was there, and more importantly, who wasn't.
Gingrich currently lags well behind his closest rival, Mitt Romney, when it comes to financial support from Washington's wealthiest Republicans, several of whom live within a few blocks of Cafe Milano. During the course of the evening, HuffPost didn't see any notable figures emerge from Gingrich's makeshift tent, although the restaurant was packed with investment bankers, lobbyists and real estate tycoons, including multi-millionaire Mark Ein, one of the city's most eligible bachelors.
As the party carried on past nine, a few guests migrated to the bar, where several younger women sat. By 9:45 p.m., a guest told HuffPost that only young people were left inside the party, about 25 of them. That was about the same time that a loud, older man leaving Milano was overheard telling a woman, "Let me remind you, sweetheart, you're selling $750,000 of total value, and you paid three bucks for it."
Gingrich left the curtained enclave a little after 10 p.m. to speak with his staff, when a young woman who appeared to have crashed his party approached him and asked to have her photo taken. "Who are you?" Gingrich barked, seemingly on guard for saboteurs. The woman, a Republican voter, told Gingrich where she worked, and he quickly agreed to a photo.
"How could I ever say no to such a good-looking girl?" he asked her, grinning, as he turned and posed. Later, the woman told HuffPost Gingrich "held me really tight." Afterwards, Gingrich weaved his way through the crowded dining room, where his desire for privacy abandoned him. Before he got back to the party, Newt had stopped to greet at least four tables and take two photos.
Callista emerged from the tent just shy of 10:30 p.m., dressed in a black skirt suit she likes to wear on the campaign trail. This time however, she'd replaced her typical jewelry -- three rows of pearls -- with a dazzling diamond necklace, a fresh reminder of Newt's notorious credit lines at Tiffany & Co. After posing for more photos, Gingrich and his wife retired to a back corner table for dinner, accompanied by a handful of campaign staffers.
On Wednesday, the couple will travel to Iowa, where Newt leads GOP primary polls less that a month from the state's Republican caucus. There, they will attend a movie screening hosted by former presidential candidate Mike Huckabee, a pro-life documentary called "Gift Of Life." The evening promises to be an interesting scene, albeit far from Cafe Milano's marble bar and vintage wines. Instead, fellow GOP candidates Rick Santorum, Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) and Texas Gov. Rick Perry will all be there, no doubt eager to challenge Newt's lead among Iowa's powerful Christian conservatives.
