text: I know what you mean DA Quality....but my friend has it in his mind he wants his grass thicker. There are areas in his back yard when he could use some....but it's his sprinkler system that will really make his yard thick. Plus his sprinkler system has a fertilizer system in it, so when he waters his yard it gets a very light dose of fertilizer every day. So I don't think he needs it slit seeded, but he wants it...so I will spread it light at 1 to 2 pounds per 1000 sq. ft. Spread the starter fertilizer and then let his sprinkler system do it's magic!!! I will take some pictures of the slit seeding....I think I will do it on Monday if we don't get any rain.

Email questions and pics with QUESTIONS in subject line to:
Does anyone know who I should contact about getting some? I tried Home Depot, but all they have are the traditional style concrete blocks. HELP! I'm obsessed with this idea, and I will not stop until I'm satisfied.

Have you ever bought an online course that promised to make you a lot of money in just a few days with little to no effort? Did you get the results that you were promised, or did you struggle? Unfortunately, a lot of the methods out there that promise BIG money for doing little to no work, just don't seem to work like they say… I know when I was starting out online a few years back, I wasted a lot of time and a lot of money.

Rapid Profit Ninja REVIEW
"What had I done wrong?" I wondered. This "get rich quick method" just wasn't going to give me the promised results. I went back to the drawing board, spinning my wheels several more times before finally getting some results online… Maybe you can relate with my story? I remember thinking to myself back then… "Forget making millions of dollars online… If I could just make a consistent $80 – $100 per day online, it would change everything for me."

First, theres the computing hardware shift. Previously, you could only use a computer by accessing a mainframe using a terminal. Then came desktops. Mainframes did not go away. We simply changed our primary interface device. Next came laptops. Mainframes and desktops still didnt go away, but the laptop became the interface device of choice.
Now, the power of a laptop is being put in the palm of our hand with smartphones and smartpads. And because they are a phone, multimedia computer, video conferencing platform, still and video camera, locator and navigator, and game and entertainment center that is with us 24/7, they are transforming all areas of life.
With apps becoming more popular, its now time to explore the third shift, which is the emergence of a new level of apps, what Ill call enterprise level apps (ELA). These are apps customized for such wide-scale applications as purchasing, logistics, supply chain management, sales, and military security, just to name a few. These apps are designed not only to make people more productive in their work, but also to do some of the work for them.
For example, in the medical field, theyll be ELAs for disease management, for patient records, and for remote diagnostics. The app will be more like an essential tool to perform a specific function rather than an ancillary item. Combine this with the real-time data revolution thats also taking place, and you can see how groundbreaking enterprise apps are.
Never before have people been able to get information and data in their hand right as its happening. So when something occurs, is produced, or a need arises, that information is immediately visible to anyone authorized to see it in the exact way they want and need it to be. To have that visibility ― and have it with you 24/7 ― is both powerful and amazing. Instead of just having real-time data, companies are redefining themselves and transitioning into real-time enterprises, which means they are using real-time data to make better decisions faster.
Of course, all these shifts present some real-time challenges to CIOs. As the CIO or IT expert in your company, you need to understand the depth of this revolution.
Historically, CIOs are used to having control over the companys technology, and they like everything to be behind the bulletproof enterprise IT veil. Many CIOs and IT professionals are not happy with the increased focus on cloud computing, yet thats precisely what their companys staff is using when they use their personal computers to search Google or access other applications in the cloud.
This dislike for cloud computing is understandable. It is, after all, outside of the control of the IT network that the CIO and his or her staff have worked so hard to develop and secure. But lets face it apps, SaaS, social media, smart phones, smart pads, and a host of other cloud options that your employees use, both at home and increasingly at work, are here to stay.
Consider this: In early 2010, there were 150,000 apps just in the Apple store. Then that number increased to 200,000 apps. Now were close to 300,000 apps with billions of downloads. So its growing fast, with no indication of slowing down.
In my work as a strategic consultant to large organizations, Im amazed at how many CIOs are not embracing this paradigm shift. As a CIO, you have to ask yourself, Will there be more in the cloud options, including audio, video, storage, and apps, next year than there is this year?" The answer is a resounding Yes! You cant ignore it. Many of your own people and your own executives are using cloud-based services right now. And if theyre using them, being more productive at home than they are in the workplace, and doing things that are more advanced on their smart phones and smart pads (at least in their minds), then the CIO has a problem.
You cant have people thinking that the IT department is holding the company back. Instead, you need to be helping them move forward. Granted, its human nature to protect and defend the status quo, and there are some security concerns with the emerging technologies. But at the same time, you have to remember the old adage, Its easier to ride a horse in the direction that its going. In this case, the horses of technology are going in a new direction at a pace and speed weve never seen before. Its time for CIOs to pay attention to this and do more than just go along for the ride.
Case in point: In January 1993, IBM knew the future of its company and it was the most admired company on the planet. But the horses of technology changed direction. By the end of 1993, IBM was getting close to going out of business. It missed the shift. But IBM is not an isolated case. Many other companies have missed the shift. Think about it: When was the last time you bought something from Polaroid?
Now we have another gigantic technological shift taking place, and the last people who should miss it are the CIOs and the IT department. The shift is here, its easy to see, and its as plain as day. Therefore, its time to start directing the horse on the journey.

|Big Brother Twists
|Siblings that either know each another or not would play the game together.
| Big Brother 5
Big Brother 17
Big Brother: Over The Top
Big Brother Brazil 17
Season 5
- Secret Siblings - Cowboy and Nakomis were estranged siblings who were unaware of each other before the airing of the show and revealed it to the rest of the House Guests during week 2.
- Twin Twist - Adria Klein and Natalie Carroll were identical twins and would swap places every few days, playing as Adria. If the two made it to week 5 without being discovered or evicted, they would both enter the game as individuals.
- Drew Daniel and Diane Henry also revealed that they both had twins, but their twins were not competing in the game.
Season 17
This twist has also appeared on Big Brother 17, following similar rules as it did in Big Brother 5, however it only included the twin twist, not the secret siblings.
- Twin Twist - The twist involved twins Liz and Julia Nolan who were both playing as Liz. They both made it to week 5, so they both joined the game as individual players.
- Shelli Poole and Jeff Weldon revealed they each had a twin outside of the game.
Big Brother: Over The Top
Opposite of Big Brother 17, this season did not include the twin twist but instead featured the secret siblings twist. However, the siblings were not estranged and instead knew of the other's presence in the game.

Twisted Fate Build
Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
Welcome to my Twisted Fate Guide! I'm going to spare you all of the B-S and skip to the important stuff. If you really just do not care what I have to say about TF then refer to the cheat-sheet above. :)
This Guide is centered around Ability Power twisted Fate. When I first started playing TF I knew him as a ranged DPS with a stun, a slow, and a built-in universal /Scare-The-****-Out-Of-The-Enemy teleporting ability.
I learned very fast that these aspects of Twisted Fate work EVEN BETTER when you have an elephants butt-load worth of burst damage (I.E. Ability Power TF.) I'm not going to talk too much trash about DPS TF's, but all I know is that versus another TF I will stun them and take over half of their health then get away before the even start their ; however, they still do their fair share of damage over-all.
This guide IS based around Summoner's Rift. I just do not find TF viable in 3v3 (although sometimes it is fun to troll some people in normal games and just dominate.)
Pros / Cons
1. He has a stun
2. He has a AOE damage slow
3. He has a built-in universal clairvoyance
4. He has a built-in teleport
5. Amazing burst damage
6. Generally good laning
7. Great overall utility
8. And lets face it. He looks legit.
1. He's squishy
2. Pick A Card CAN take time to get used to
3. When laning against champs who harass well he usually has to play safe
- TF's Passive: Even more of a reason the get good at last hitting. believe me. This racks up!
- TF's Q:Main source of damage. generally easy to use, but maximizing damage from it is the only challenge.
- TF's W:This is his stun, his AOE damage slow, and his mana replenish. For those of you who don't know how this works it shuffles through the cards in this order: Gold, Blue, Red. It doesn't always start at Yellow it starts randomly which is the challenge of it. when I first started playing TF I used the ability's icon to determine which card i was going to use, but I found after a while that watching the card above your champ's head is better because then you can what you're surroundings as well, but it's just timed a little bit differently.
- TF's E:This is a passive ability that on the fourth attack does extra damage. I wont go into too much detail about this, but if you use while this is active on your fourth attack it WILL apply to the card you picked. This is good for maximizing damage when you're teleporting in to gank, or trying to ensure a last hit on a minion.
- TF's R:This ability reveals every enemies location on the map and allows you to teleport anywhere during the time it is active. It shows invisible units as well meaning wards, a ganking Eve or Shaco. Very very useful especially with utility and ganking. This is what defines TF as an Assassin.
Tips and Tricks
This section is for those of you who don't really want to read through the laning phase chapter of this guide.
[Gold Card] + is your best friend. This is where the majority of your damage is going to be coming from. Stun them with a Gold Card and aim your at them immediately afterward and then hit 'em with an auto attack if you feel comfortable enough with it. This has so much burst alone, that they will **** their pants after you're done with them. Plus the cooldown is not long at all. You're only problem is watching you're mana because TF doesn't have the LARGEST mana pool and Wild Cards costs 100 mana at level 5.
Watch your map! yes I know this is a very obvious tip, but be very aware of the lane situations around you, because if you see an enemy at low health you can in there and Stun them, them, and if they aren't dead chances are you have a teammate with you that will help finish them off.
Use to your advantage! What I mean by this is that if you don't know where their team is, or you see them gathering in one place you can take this time to use to see where they're all at and put pressure on the lane they're farthest from, or even prevent a gank.
isn't something i put too much emphasis on, but if you get good at timing it you can maximize your damage output by getting that Stacked Deck hit on someone you're trying to gank.
Use the blue card as much as possible! If you're not trying to stun, or you aren't trying to kill a large wave of grouped up minions us the Blue Card! It gives you back mana, plus it does the most damage. Use it on Turrets as well. Yes that's right: Blue Card's damage effects turrets as well.
Summoner Spells
Personally i like to go with
They work well together, plus it's funny to me when it's early game and an is at low health behind her turret ready to blue pill back and I in with a Gold Card + get the kill and out of there. Obviously you can use whatever summoner spells you are most comfortable with. I've found it really depends on play style.
Item Builds
In this section I'll give you several base builds I use in specific situations.
Before I give you my general builds here's a list of items I've found to be viable on AP Twisted Fate:
- Obviously Speed, and a general amount of magic pen for those who aren't getting magic resist.
- I usually only get these when I'm doing very well early game and feel like I won't really need the magic pen considering how fast I'll be getting my items.
- I've found this to be a MUST on Twisted Fate. Honestly they add so much more damage to his burst and it's pretty ridiculous. :)
- Crucial Item on TF. In the end (as for most AP champs) this item will milk as much AP as you can really get out of the rest of your AP items. There's only one situation in which I don't get this item, and I'll explain that later.
- Not as crucial as the Deathcap, but it does give you it's armor, and in a pinch you always have it's active. Plus, 100 Ability Power is never a bad thing.
- This item i find to be really situational with TF, because it does give you health, but he already has a built in stun, so a slow is a plus, but not really necessary. I usually get it when I'm getting focused, need more health, and an easier way to get away than JUST my stun.
- I've had a lot of speculation when buying this item. It's in my main build and many people say to me that it's a strictly situational item, but from my own experience having more health AND armor is never a bad thing for squishy champs. Plus it gives you a little extra mana and some cooldown reduction. What's not to like?
- Very very situational, but I seem to get it more often than not. Some health, some mana, some magic resist, and you get to block a spell every 45 seconds. All definitely good things. Especially when you're being focused, or you just want the closure to know you're safe if a Fiddlesticks tries to Fear you, or a Sion tries to stun you, or hell even if another TF tries to Gold Card you. :)
- I usually only get this when there is a large majority of AP champs on the opposing team, or if someone is trying to counter my AP. Situational indeed, but a little bit of Magic Resistance never hurt anybody.
- I almost didn't put this item in this guide. Simply because I feel like a Rylai's Crystal Scepter + Frozen Heart do more than enough for you. Yes I understand this gives you a lot of health and mana, but I see it as more of an early game AP Off-Tank item, but I've found situations when Wit's End shredded mana that it was helpful, also when you need EVEN MORE health and mana than Rylai's Crystal Scepter and Frozen Heart give you this is the item to go to.
- This is situational, again, I usually don't get this item with TF. It's not in any of my main builds, but hey, everyone has different play styles. If you want to go snowball, just remember to be careful and to not lose stacks as it will just end up costing you gold and time.
And now on to a slightly detailed over-run of my general TF builds:
Regular Twisted Fate Build:
First I start out with and Three This gives me good movement in lane and a way to keep health up when laning against a champ who's harassing me pretty hard. Then when I get enough gold (usually around level 6) I go back to get . This is crucial for your burst damage which I will explain in a later chapter. After I go back to get a (If you can wait until you have enough for both a + that would be even better.) After getting I wait until I have enough to grab a . Once you get this you're able to one shot the back layer of ranged minions in one shot with your . After finishing off I finish off . Usually at this point (if not already) it's clear that you're burst does a whole **** load of damage. So we go for a . The Mana isn't really all that necessary, but the armor, cooldown reduction, and 20% reduction of the nearby enemy's attack speed are all a definite plus. If the game isn't over by now (Even going to was pushing it.) It means that all you can really do now is give yourself long-run boosts. So it's situational, but you can either go for OR . Depending on if the opposing team is more reliant on DPS or AP you can have your choice. Or if you find that their carry tends to enjoy the recreational activity of chasing you down get whatever can counter them. And last I get a Rylai's Crystal Scpeter. Some extra health saved the cat it's last life, and a slow every time you hit some unsuspecting victim with a they'll slow down making you run less while you wait for your next burst to cooldown. :D
Anti-DPS Twisted Fate Build:
Now fair warning I've only used this build once when a insisted I needed to die every team fight, and it was successful as far as I'm concerned. As is obvious feel free to change things for I have not "perfected" this build yet. :P
I start off normal getting plus Three Going back for Sheen when I have the money. Now here's what's different. Once I have enough I go back for for some armor and a start up for CDR. After that I get . After finishing off boots I finish off . Starting towards I grab a . After finishing of I knock out . Then I buy a to grab some extra health and mana. If the game isn't over by then I go for a [iconRylai's Crystal Scepter size=64] for Health and an extra slow.
Anti-AP Twisted Fate Build:
Starting off as I have previous I grab plus Three and a when I have enough gold for it. Going back if you have enough get at least a if not as well. Turn the into an . Grab Catalyst the Protector which you're going to turn into a . Finish off . Usually game is over around this time, but if it isn't go for a followed by [iconRabadon's Deathcap size=64] for good measure.
The last two builds were brief due the fact that there isn't much explanation. The reasons are very obvious.
In-Game Phases
Early Game - This is one of the most important parts due to the fact that you usually want to have enough gold for
at around level six. You should last hit creeps with your blue card as it does the most damage, plus it returns mana allowing you to spam and . I wouldn't really suggest being too aggressive early game because it can turn out to just be a waste of mana because doesn't do too much damage early game. Remember to gank when you get the chance after level six. More often than not I don't end up using to go back to my lane quickly the first time as some people do. I usually use it to help gank a low health opponent.
Mid Game - This is when you want to get blue buff if you haven't already had a teammate help you get it. With TF Blue buff is very easy to get. Red Card Golem first to damage his minions, and them to finish them off and then just kite the Golem around stunning him and hitting him with whenever you get the chance. When done right you shouldn't lose more than 300 health. Gank whenever you see a chance, but don't forget to keep up your minion kills because you don't want to get distracted and let whoever you're laning against to start winning the lane.
Late Game - Usually around this time I become one of the main focuses during team fights because TF is squishy and has good damage output. Usually I come into teamfights just a little bit after they start with and stun someone who seems to be a threat. Remember to stay at a safe distance where you aren't in the heart of the fight, but you're still close enough to be effective
Thank you for viewing my AP Twisted Fate guide!
As most people I'm completely open to any feedback, for this is my first guide and I'd love to update and improve. :D

I am known mostly for my shoe paintings, chair paintings, animals and my flair for pop surrealism in the art that I do. I can create artwork that is quirky yet masterfully done. I'd like to think there's a strong link to humanity in all that I do, but I'd rather the viewer decide how it makes them feel, than to really label it's meaning. You cannot predict the emotion a song emotes only that one will feel something from it. It's the same with art. I can explain my art, but really at the end of the day, it's what you take away from it that matters, not what I say. And hopefully it's something that will make you smile. -Kerian Babbitt (Massey) Checks payable to Kerian Massey website: keriansart.com email: firstname.lastname@example.com phone: 903-469-3989 Kerian-Massey-Promo.jpg (153 KB)

Morrison survives late Fisher surge to take crown in Madeira
James Morrison held his nerve to complete a one-stroke victory ahead of fellow Englishman Oliver Fisher in the Madeira Islands Open yesterday.
Morrison led by three strokes going into the final round but was twice pegged back to just a single shot ahead as Fisher shot a seven-under-par 65, the joint best round of the day.
The second of those occasions came when Morrison bogeyed the 17th, but both he and Fisher birdied the last to give Morrison victory on 20 under par.
Scotland's George Murray finished third on 14 under while Northern Ireland's Michael Hoey and Englishman, Gary Clark, were three shots further back in a tie for sixth.
Morrison started the day 18 under, with Murray 15 under and Fisher a seemingly distant 12 under.
But the latter strung four birdies together from the third and Morrison bogeyed the first and third, though a birdie at the friendly sixth hole kept him narrowly ahead.
He eagled the eighth and birdied the 10th to restore his three-stroke advantage, and when Murray dropped shots at 13 and 14 he was left with Fisher as his only challenger.
Fisher birdied the 14th to move back within two and, as the nerves began to show, that late dropped shot left Morrison just a single shot ahead going down the last.
A solid four on the 603-yard par five ensured his victory despite Fisher also picking up a shot to complete his bogey-free 65, matching the score of Frenchman Jean-Baptiste Gonnet, who surged through the field to finish tied for ninth on 10 under.
Morrison said: "I'm overwhelmed. It hasn't really sunk in yet. I don't think it will sink in properly until Monday. I'm over the moon."
Speaking about the dramatic final hole, Morrison added: "I knew I had to go for it because I knew Ollie (Fisher) would hit the green and make four at the very least.
"I knew I had to make four to win. So I hit a three wood off a downhill lie and it was the best shot of my career because it meant the most.
"I've got my card for next year. I can play Wentworth, Loch Lomond, I can play all the big events now and who knows what can happen from here. I'll just keep doing what I'm doing and hopefully the doors keep opening."
Meanwhile, Simon Thornton -- of the Royal County Down club -- sealed his best finish of the year finishing tied for 13th on eight under after a disappointing final round of 75.

As CBS2's Vladimir Duthiers reported, the issues is now the focus of a new MTA campaign.
Sitting on a crowded subway can be a lesson in sharing. Each person is allotted 17.5 inches — the width of an average seat.

Spain's coasts are attracting cycling teams like never before. Most professional teams from across Europe have set up a training camp in Spain.
If you want to see the world's best cyclists at close range, forget the Tour de France. Insted you could head to the Spanish Mediterranean coast in December. There is an abundance of elite cyclists on the local roads this month. It has become tradition in December that almost all the major European teams start charging for next season in Spain.
But they will not get much time to enjoy the beaches, as it is training for the upcoming season that will be in focus. The most popular area is a promontory between Alicante and Valencia. The teams are accommodated in Calpe and Denia and venturing in the hilly hinterland. The BMC Racing is a team that is fairly typical. They invite team members and participants for a series of meetings and training trips. Team Leader Jim Ochowiz say it's a combination of good roads, mild climate and low traffic that makes the area a great base for a pre-season training camp.
In addition to BMC Racing, the Etixx Quick-Step, Katusha and Astana teams are also in the region. They are staying at hotels for many weeks and during that time they can are training, hving meetings, photo sessions, physiological tests, tests of new equipment etc. The teams then return back home in January, when the season's first race is approaching.
The teams are attracted to Spain by a number of reasons. The travel distance is short and the terrain is ideal for building fitness. Besides the weather is mild and it seldom rains, all in sharp contrast to France, Italy and Belgium at this time of year. Even the French teams who for years were forbidden to leave France for training camps, are now in Spain. Ag2r-La Mondiale came to Gandia last week while Cofidis are residing in Lloret del Mar, just north of Barcelona.
The Tinkof-Saxo team is traveling a little longer and have chosen Gran Canaria for their training camp. Alberto Contador celebrated his birthday there with his teammates. Team Sky and Team GB are two of several teams that have chosen Mallorca. Team Sky boss Dave Brailsford said they have a perfect base on the island. Although the long slopes that exist on the mainland is missing on Mallorca, there is an abundance of quiet narrow winding and hilly roads.
Another team that also has chosen Mallorca is Lotto Soudal. Sports director Herman Frison said: "We are in full preparation for the season. There is a very large and delicious buffet here at the hotel, maybe a little too good for riders. We'll see who has the discipline to stay away from unhealthy things. "

Islamic State savages BURN two Turkish fighters ALIVE in gruesome message to Erdogan
BARBARIC Islamic State fighters have burnt two Turkish soldiers to death in a heinous video released by the Islamist extremists.
The two Turkish soldiers stand and wait their fate
The footage shows two men in camouflage fatigues taken out of a cage in the desert and then made to walk barefoot on all fours before being stood up and made to suffer their fate of being burnt to death.
The video, which the savage jihadis named The Cross Shield, was reportedly made in the so-called "Aleppo Province" in the north of Syria.
One ISIS member, speaking in Turkish, criticises the country's president Recep Tayyip Erdogan and calls for "destruction to be sowed" in the country.
The two men stand and have a chain-like fuse connected around their necks before they are ignited by remote control by an ISIS member.
As the two soldiers, referred to as "dogs", stand a few feet apart, one appears to try to turn around as the flames creep up the fuse which eventually engulfs them as they writhe on the ground.
The onscreen text reads: "You burned the Muslims, O Government of Turkey. So this will be your fate with the permission of Allah."
The two soldiers are led out of the cage on all fours
Turkey shut down the social media sites Twitter, Facebook and YouTube after news of the video reached the country in an attempt to stop Turks seeing the gruesome 19-minute long video.
Turkey Blocks, a website that seeks to "identify and validate reports of internet mass-censorship events" reported users having problems accessing the three websites following the release of the video.
It said: "The blocks each appear to be implemented at the ISP level, with each provider applying its own controls, hence some users may be partly or fully unaffected.
ISIS fighter ignites the 'fuse'
"The shutdown is the second in a week, with another similar blackout following the assassination of Russia's ambassador to Turkey."
The Turkish army said that it had lost contact with two of its soldiers last month.
The disturbing images recall the killing of Lt Moaz al-Kassasbeh, a Jordanian fighter pilot who was captured by ISIS when his plane went down in Syria in December 2014, and was later burned alive in a cage.
The flames creep up the fuse as one of the soldiers stands there
The video's release comes a day after 16 Turkish soldiers were killed by ISIS fighters in Ankara's biggest loss so far in its unprecedented incursion into Syria.
They were killed in a succession of attacks around the Syrian town of Al-Bab on Wednesday which included three suicide car bombings.

Africa Cup of Nations final preview: Key Nigeria duo in race for fitness
Victor Moses and strike partner Emmanuel Emenike are both doubts for Nigeria ahead of the Africa Cup of Nations final.
Last Updated: 10/02/13 5:17pm
Chelsea forward Victor Moses and Spartak Moscow strike partner Emmanuel Emenike are both doubtful for Nigeria ahead of Sunday's final of the Africa Nations Cup against Burkina Faso in Johannesburg.
Emenike leads the scoring charts with four goals so far in the tournament and Moses has two but both are injury concerns ahead of the Soccer City showdown.
The pair suffered injuries in the 4-1 semi-final win over Mali in Durban on Wednesday but the Super Eagles coaching staff are optimistic they will be fit to play.
Emenike missed training on Thursday and Friday while Moses worked under the supervision of the team physiotherapist on Friday.
Nigeria are confident Emenike will face Burkina Faso, spokesman Ben Alaiya telling reporters: "He has gone for a scan and he will be fit for the final."
Moses' Chelsea team-mate John Obi Mikel is sure to be in the final after starring so far in the tournament, directing play for the Super Eagles.
But Mikel has warned his team-mates to be wary of thinking they are favourites, despite bidding to add to tournament wins in 1980 and 1994.
Burkina Faso will look to Rennes winger Jonathan Pitroipa for inspiration after he won a reprieve to play in the final following his controversial dismissal in the semi-final.
Pitroipa was shown a second yellow card for simulation although the referee later admitted to tournament officials that he had made a mistake with the caution.
Pitroipa will be allowed to take the field with his team-mates who, following his sending off, went on to win their semi-final 3-2 on penalties after drawing 1-1 with Ghana.
Tunisian referee Slim Jdidi has since been suspended and Pitroipa reinstated to the squad to face Nigeria, the Stallions receiving a welcome boost with top scorer Alain Traore still out injured.
Nigeria and Burkina Faso met at the start of the tournament in Group C where they drew their opening game, Burkina Faso going on top top the group on goal difference.
Burkina Faso defeated Togo 1-0 in extra time before their penalty shootout triumph over Ghana, while Nigeria defeated pre-tournament favourites Ivory Coast 2-1 before winning 4-1 against Mail in their semi-final.

Sew, Are you Canadian?
I don't know about your house, but here at the residence I reside in it's always a festive time of year. It's right up there with Christmas and is truly a family affair. Mom buys all sorts of red candies and fills the dishes, changes the table clothes and napkins to white and red, dad gets out the flags and puts them in the planters out front, my brother gets a case of beer...and I make a strawberry sponge cake and attempt to make a maple leaf out of strawberries on top.. however one year I was accused of making a marijuana leaf by my mother.. whatever.. what has she been smoking?
If you are Canadian and you love to deck out your house this is the perfect project... of course if you sew. But really, it's a good beginner project and you can have alot of fun.
It's a lovely table runner to show your Canadian colours and flag. It's super simple even if you only have basic sewing skills.
I stumbled across it a few months ago and decided to whip it up for the dining room table.
You can find it here on Sew Sisters blog
I used Steam a Seam instead of wonder under and bought some basic fabrics down at fabric land. You can satin stitch around the applique however with Steam a Seam you don't HAVE to which is awesome.
You can't really see it but on the red I randomly stippled OH CANADA on it. Shame I should had put it on the white to make it more visible.
So yes.. It's a little early.. but HAPPY CANADA DAY!!!

Hey - I love it! Happy Canada Day! JudyReplyDelete
Love it, when the olympics were on, I made just one part of the runner so my daughter could hang the flag in her classroom, they all loved it.ReplyDelete
Happy Canada Day!
What a great idea Marg! I was thinking a set of table runners or hot holders would be nice to go with this as well.ReplyDelete
Happy Canada Day Judy! Thanks for dropping by :)

Q&A: Dance Moms Star Chloe Lukasiak/
Who watches Dance Moms on Lifetime? Um, I do! The drama between instructor Abbey Lee Miller and her students' moms (and sometimes the students themselves) is riveting. Plus, the dancing is seriously top notch (see a video of one amazing solo). We got a chance to talk to Chloe Lukasiak, 11, one of the top dancers in the company, and we jumped at it. Here's what she had to say: I Heart Daily: What is the best part about dancing? Chloe Lukasiak: I love performing on stage! That's the best part for me.
IHD: And the toughest part? CL: Sometimes, it's hard to balance school, filming and dance.
IHD: Do you have a favorite performance? CL: It was the night I won Junior Miss Dance of Pennsylvania -- that was amazing. But I also loved when I did the Black Swan duet with Maddie last year at Nationals (pictured, Chloe on left). I had just forgotten my solo onstage and I wanted to prove to everyone watching that I wasn't going to let that stop me. So I went out and danced my heart out! It was a great feeling.
IHD: What's your ultimate dancing dream? CL: I would love to be on Broadway or a Rockette. Or in a dance movie, like Center Stage.
IHD: Any words of encouragement for other kids who dream of dancing like you do? CL: Work hard, never give up and don't listen to anyone who says you can't do it. You can, trust me.
Aw, thanks, Chloe! Follow this star on twitter and seriously, watch the show. You know, for the dancing.

Skip to comments.NM: Senate panel votes 6-4 to approve gun show background check bill
Posted on 03/15/2013 11:59:31 AM PDT by CedarDave
With just a day left in this years regular session, a high-profile bill aimed at curbing gun violence is still alive in the Legislature.
Members of the Senate Judiciary Committee voted 6-4 late Thursday to approve House Bill 77, sending it on to the Senate floor. The vote broke down along party lines, with all six Democratic committee members voting in favor and all four Republican committee members voting in opposition.
However, even if the bill gains full Senate approval by noon Saturday, it would still face one more obstacle in order to move on to Gov. Susana Martinezs desk for final consideration. That would come in the form of a House concurrence vote, because a previous Senate committee amended the bill.
Garcias bill, which he described as a bipartisan compromise, would require that private sellers at gun shows have background checks done on prospective buyers before they make a sale.
(Excerpt) Read more at abqjournal.com ...
The ABQ Journal is running an add at the top of their webpage calling on the public to contact their state senators to support the bill. [A contact list is given in the link below]. The ad is sponsored by a group called "Mayors Against Illegal Guns Action Fund." I have already contacted my senator who voted against it in committee.
NM list PING!

Good. This will make the gun shows in Texas even more prosperous. But you'd better come early because most are sold out of the good stuff very quickly.
will the Gov sign this?
How is it that AZ is red, TX to the east is red and CO was red until the CA liberals moved to denver and boulder or kids thought it would be cool to be left wing and get their drugs?
As disappointing as it might be, she said she would. And IIRC, that was before the bill was stripped of provisions that would outlaw all private sales and transfers between private parties and family without background checks!
Thanks for the answer.
I thought she was conservative , was I told wrong or is she and just not upsetting the voters for the election coming up?
What a shame.
I never have felt more free than I did the first time I bought a gun from a private seller at a gun show and discovered I didn't have to fill out Form 4473. Not that I wouldn't have passed the check, it's just that it's none of the government's business.
She is generally conservative (pro-life, against gay marriage, supports fiscal responsibility, against driver's licenses for illegals, etc.), but her law enforcement and prosecutor background, and her marriage to a county under-sheriff may have formed her position on this issue.
The same time the CA liberals were moving in on CO, they were doing the same thing to NM; namely Santa Fe, Albuquerque and the northern Rio Grande corridor.
Too many Hollywood ultra-rich maroons... Never met a more clueless group of people, unless you add in the PhDs in Los Alamos... (Disclaimer: I gew up there.)
I've already told Governor Susana that I had left the state in no small part because she decided to violate the Federal Constitution in cooperating with the act of Abomination.
But if I recall my New Mexico State Constitution Article II, section 6 clearly states:
"Right to Bear Arms
No law shall abridge the right of the citizen to keep and bear arms for security and defense, for lawful hunting and recreational use and for other lawful purposes, but nothing herein shall be held to permit the carrying of concealed weapons. No municipality or county shall regulate, in any way, an incident of the right to keep and bear arms. (As amended November 2, 1971 and November 2, 1986.)"
This of course in New Mexico like in Washington is nearly a dead letter as even the public university of New Mexico openly ignores it.
When is the last time a mass shooting involved a gun bought at a gun show, if ever?
Its a solution without a problem.
same down south here, we get the idiots from up north who escape their high taxed, cess pits and then vote as they did up north.
If Susan does she wont be worth voting for, she would not be protecting our rights on any issue not healthcare nor gun rights.
The problem with New Mexico is also a liberal mecca problem in Santa Fe and Taos. Theses areas have been pulling in liberal nutcases for most of the last 100 years.
Colorado has a very rich liberal with a political action commity problem and as the liberals never fail to point out a changing demographic driven by illegal immigration & birth rates that effectily doom the republican party as an institution everywhere the Democrats are able to polarize them along racial lines.
We now seem to be incapable of stopping the invasion from the south, as its memebrs have already secured control over our political systems.
"When is the last time a mass shooting involved a gun bought at a gun show, if ever?
Its a solution without a problem."
Unforgettably your's is a fact without a voice to be heard.

The Silent Rise and Blossoming of Qualitative Research
By Edward Appleton
"The qualitative research renaissance is in full swing".
Wow – a bold assertion from Adam Rossow on the GreenBook Blog.
Is it true?
I'd like to think so, working in the qualitative space. But is it wishful thinking? His article focuses on the need for qual to address "scale" more seriously – suggesting the ability to ask an open-ender to thousands of people fast might help.
I think something altogether different is going on – qual is morphing into something else, something resembling the function of "account planners" that flourished in much of the English speaking creative and marketing world from the 1970s – 1990s, perhaps longer. It's not really about "scalability".
Here's my take.
- If Context is King, Qual is Queen.
Behavioral Economics has given considerable weight to the importance of context, emotion and social factors in understanding what we do, say, think.
More innovative qual delivers on this through e.g. ethnographic and observational techniques – taking behavior as the base line from which to branch out to "understanding".
The question "why" is just too important to be left to the direct but invariably shallow direct questioning approach – how, when, who, what…..all that can create a rich understanding of a person's everyday reality that quant, especially digital, either can't or doesn't.
- The remarkable Rise of the fast-growing Integrated Agency
One press release caught my eye recently – from a medium-sized German based but globally operating market research agency (no, not Happy Thinking People) which I'd thought of as a qual institute. Two things stood out:
Their 2015 YOY growth rate of +20% – hardly peanuts on a turnover base of over Euro 30 million and employing well over 200 people worldwide
Half their turnover is from quant. projects – they're clearly an integrated shop, not just a "qual" outfit
There are plenty more out there like that, maybe not quite so large but growing fast – feedback from the AQR Event I attended recently in London confirmed strong demand for strategic advice from mix-method qualitative consultancies.
Take out – qual is no longer either a mix of one-or-two man band operations or a quasi-invisible unit tucked into a major network MR player. There are new types of operations with size, scope and (ha!) scale!
- Groups, In-Depth-Interviews….sure. But that's not all!
Setting aside qual-quant integration, many qual agencies have positively bounded into an era where digital is a friend, not an enemy. OK, it may have taken a few years, but still.
Online communities, mobile ethnographies – to name a couple – are not just a must-have in the expanded qual toolkit to avoid being perceived as a digital dinosaur, they open up fertile new business areas such as innovation projects or co-creation.
That leads to a more consultative approach, with facilitating skills becoming as important as moderation. Many qualitative researchers are ideally placed to take that small step, many already have.
- Creativity Beckons…
Remember Account Planning?
Originally a London-inspired discipline within advertising agencies (J Walter Thompson, BMP are two that spring to mind) to help steer the creative process, maybe even ground it in real-life, it struggled for a while especially in the Noughties, with many agencies not investing in it, with the surge of digital advertising with its A/B testing and eminent measurability pushing it aside.
It seems like planning's enjoying a renaissance – I see two factors at play:
Firstly, the crucial role of "availability" (mental & on-shelf) has been stressed by Prof. Byron Sharp of Bass Ehrenberg Institute fame in his influential and widely cited book "How Brands Grow".
Secondly, the role of TV advertising in creating emotional brand bonds – creating positive bias, if you like – seems unchallenged by digital transformation tools. I'll let folk from the IPA comment on this, should anybody be reading.
Still with me? Well, I was also interested to see that BBDO has hired a seasoned planner in its German office "to boost the planning offer" very recently – something I haven't seen for ages. TV ads are expensive – they need, well "planning".
An opportunity for qualitative research? Sure – qual. and creativity were and are linked if not at the hip, then at least enjoying strong attachment, however tense things may sometimes become.
- Creativity Summons
What do qualitative researchers feel when they see a creative execution based on their insights work that has gone "off-track"? Not that good. The work's gone through numerous iterations, modification phases, tweaks, with various voices influencing the message, but net-net: the work no longer corresponds to the original insight.
Insights can fall through the cracks – organizationally it's maybe time to look at closing the gap between qualitative work on creative development or brand positioning and the people executing. Whether it's via closer co-operation models, or looking a new ways of allowing insights folk to work shoulder-to-shoulder with the creatives executing the insights.
In summary – I'd say we're indeed witnessing not just a renaissance of qualitative research, we're seeing a transformation.
It's shifting into a world characterized by speed, of rapid hypothesis development, agility, where it works in often inter-disciplinary teams at the front end – I'd say the heart – of an innovation process, for example.
The very subjectivity that was once regarded as a disadvantage (flaky) is being more broadly accepted as an advantage.
There's plenty more evidence emerging about the new importance of qual. in a changed MR world.
The 2016 Esomar qual event in Berlin, for example, follows immediately after Esomar's new conference Big Data World also in Berlin, same venue – reflecting a likely future combination of disciplines, "smart" data partnering with "small" data. The AQR in UK reported strong growth in pretty much every area – financials were robust, membership up strongly as I recall.
Maybe its time for the voice of Qualitative to be heard more clearly and broadly – hence this article, I suppose.
Curious, as ever, as to other's views.

Yes, there is a qualitative renaissance, at least among the most sophisticated marketers. Time will tell if industry statistics show real dollars moving, but there is a change in what clients are seeking. (in fact, industry studies will probably have difficulty accurately measuring, because the nature of the tracking questions no longer matches the nature of the work.)
I am seeing more interest in strategic projects vs. ad hoc and tactical projects. These are typically more complex to execute, but generate a much better foundation on which to build competitive advantage.
Internal project teams are larger as a result of really including the business people in the the insights process, not only the researchers. It's a pleasure to have more contact with the executives charged with delivering business results, not just the senior managers managing a research project.
More integrative analysis is sough, not only integrative methodology.
So we are asked for more that looks like consulting than qualitative data gathering. For the right research consultant, this is a joy.
As you point out Edward, larger teams on the consulting side are also required, just because there are so many moving parts. Not necessarily qual + quant, but potentially data mining, social media mining, co-creation events, and so forth. And frequently multiple qualitative approaches inside a single project: online, offline, shallow dives, deep dives.
Among the good news is that brains are winning. Glitzy methodologies that do not ultimately deliver a basis for competitive advantage don't get a second project.
I think we are also getting more receptivity to — rapidly followed by escalating demands for — more engaging ways of presenting information, which means inclusion of video and graphic specialists in the creation of research deliverables.
It's an exciting time. I am doing some of the best and most impactful work of my career.
August 30th, 2016 at 4:00 am
Hi Susan – what do you see as the main challenges for Quallies to rise to the opportunites out there with a consultatative flavour? Size of Organisation – scope, scale? Skills? Awareness Levels, Branding? Sales drive, Business acumen? Am curious – qual. in Europe tends to still fly a bit unseen, maybe that's different in the US? Curious about other qual perspectives from around the globe
September 1st, 2016 at 12:55 pm
For a sustainable rise of qual, true quant+qual integration is a must. Since this is now readily availably, I second Edward's prediction that there will be a renaissance, as measured by an increased share of qual in MR industry revenues over the next several years.
I suspect that the reason for the dominance of qual (before quant qual integration became available) was its falsifiability – the very foundation of the scientific principle. As long as there was only stand-alone qual, researchers had no handle what a qual finding actually meant. Verifiable meaning needs a measurable expression, a translation into a quantified business result.
Having said that we can predict even further. As more and more methods with true quant/qual integration become available, the old distinction will blur, first at the edges, and on the long run disappear completely when the integrated methodologies displace the "crippled" pure ones.
