Bacteria and their toxins spread and cause bacterial plaque. If plaque is not removed by appropriate oral hygiene, tartar develops due to mineral deposits. A normal toothbrush is no longer sufficient; its removal requires professional cleaning by a dentist or dental hygienist. If tartar is not removed, its toxins irritate the gums and stimulate an inflammatory response in which the body, in essence, turns on itself and the tissues and bone that support the teeth are broken down and destroyed.
Please note that not all patients exhibit these advanced symptoms of the inflammatory disease. Always consult with your dentist if you are uncertain about the condition of your gums.
Gums separate from the teeth, forming pockets (spaces between the teeth and gums) that become infected. Bacteria multiply, and plaque adheres to the tartar; the surrounding bone deteriorates.
Straumann Emdogain™ – a cutting-edge treatment
Prior to Emdogain*, there was no way to regenerate the tissues that support teeth. With more than 400 clinical studies demonstrating its effectiveness, Emdogain* is designed to reverse the effects of gum disease and saves teeth.
*In combination with coronally advanced flap

Since every surgical procedure carries potential risks, patients should always consult a dental professional to evaluate whether a regenerative treatment is an option for them.

Great location, easy access to mayor highways. We went to Disney and universal. 15 min to Orlando premium outlets.
We lost a lot of time between picking up all the info of the house(access code) and finally get the exactly location of the place ( I knew this place was in Kissimmee but I wanted to know exactly the location to do all the plan of the trip prior my arrive) finally we arrived to thso beatiful place.
Place looks clean at first, but the first night we noticed there were some French fries in some corners, under the coffee table. And some plastic wraps from some candies. It looks like they don't do a complete cleaning after a guess leave. And that was really desappointed, so I decided to vacuum!!.. One of the toilet paper holder in the master bedroom was broken, so the towel holder. Also we were really careful to don't leave the door open so long to avoid lizards get inside the property, but first night we found inside the house several around the Windows and one was in between pillows. I know this is common in Florida but they should more careful about it. No all guess are used to sleep with those kind of animal.
Enjoyed the stay. Clean and large! Enough room for 4 adults and 2 kids. Bathrooms were also large and liked having a bath tub for the little ones. It was too cold to enjoy the pool, but the walking paths were great. Wish there had been a larger playground for the kids, but they enjoyed the small play area near the tennis courts. Staff at check in were great- only got a bit confused about which gates to enter. Highly recommend! Great value and location! Very close to Disney, shopping, and other dining.
My husband, 2 sons and I stayed here for a week in February and thoroughly enjoyed the accomodations. The property is as seen in the pictures. Spacious, clean and well-maintained. Rooms were comfortable and allowed everyone their own room… Beats staying at a hotel anytime!
There is shopping close by. A Publix minutes away as well as a CVS. We spent our time at Disney and found the location convenient to the parks. It took us, on average, 20-25 minutes to get to the parks. We did not mind the distance because of the location… quiet and away from the craziness of the tourists and traffic. In fact, we missed our flight on our last day and had to book a hotel room for one night and it confirmed our choice of the condo. We were appreciative of the week we spent there and would not have wanted to stay in a hotel for a week. The price is great and as I said, beats staying at a hotel!
My only issue was the condition of some of the cookware. The frying pans were not very clean and I would not use them. Went out a bought a small one for our own use. Other than that, kitchen is well stocked. Washer and dryer was a nice amenity.
We would definitely stay here again! And would recommend this property to friends and relatives.
Absolutely Fantastic!! Beautiful place, nicely decorated and clean. Visited with my husband and 2 kids and found this unit to be very comfortable, and well equipped. It also has a great location close to restaurants and groceries.
Thank you for a great time and service. We hope to come back in the near future!!

Former Linde general counsel Nick Deeming has resurfaced as group general counsel of auction house Christie's after leaving the energy company last month.
Deeming will be based in London and report to CEO Edward Dolman. He will be responsible for the group's legal and compliance functions worldwide, serving as a member of the group management board.
Dolman said: "His significant experience in complex transactions, contracts and M&A activities with large multinationals and in emerging markets will serve Christie's well as we execute on our growth strategy."
Deeming shocked the legal world when he resigned from his post at Linde last summer, months after leading a far-reaching legal services review which established Linde's panel. Linde replaced Deeming with Christian Rau, formerly head of legal for Germany at Johnson & Johnson.

Can the state of California ban mental health providers from engaging in "sexual orientation change efforts" ("SOCE") with patients under 18 years of age? An appeals court says yes, for now.
This is the question answered by the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit in its recent (August 29, 2013) decision in Pickup v. Brown. In a relatively narrow, and relatively safe, decision, the court shut the door on reparative therapy with minors, at least as practiced by publicly licensed mental health practitioners.
Yet behind the private doors of family and church await broad, difficult constitutional questions. It may turn out that what is most significant about this case is what the court did not decide.
The California statute (Senate Bill 1172) defines SOCE as "any practices by mental health providers that seek to change an individual's sexual orientation." This would include efforts "to change behaviors or gender expressions, or to eliminate or reduce sexual or romantic attractions or feelings toward individuals of the same sex."
The use of SOCE on a minor patient would be considered unprofessional conduct, subjecting the provider to discipline by the relevant licensing entity. Left unrestricted are psychotherapies that "provide acceptance, support, and understanding of clients or the facilitation of the clients' coping, social support, and identity exploration and development."
In two federal district court cases—the appeals were heard together by the Ninth Circuit—the plaintiffs (SOCE practitioners, organizations that advocate SOCE, children undergoing SOCE, and the parents of children undergoing SOCE) challenged the statute's constitutionality on several grounds: as a violation of First Amendment rights of free speech; association, right to receive information; and free exercise of religion; as a violation of parental due process rights; and as unconstitutionally vague and overbroad.
The plaintiffs' primary claim was that counseling is an expressive activity; it is, in a word, speech.
Indeed, so the argument ran, communication is "the essential element" of the therapeutic process: "The purpose of counseling is to communicate a message that will be understood by a client who wants to hear that message."
Not only did the statute restrict pure speech, the plaintiffs argued, it failed the test of content and viewpoint neutrality because it "allows counseling that affirms same-sex relations, behavior or identity." The law communicated a message, but not one that SOCE partisans wanted to hear: "the state-approved message that same-sex attractions are only to be accepted, understood and supported."
Only a showing of harm, it was argued, could justify such tampering with personal freedoms; and because "there is no empirical evidence that SOCE causes harm to minors" (the quotation and emphasis belong to the plaintiffs), the ban was fatally flawed. (To be clear, the plaintiff practitioners used only non-aversive therapeutic techniques—thus, no testosterone injections, electric shock, or psychosurgery.)
The Ninth Circuit turned the plaintiffs' argument on its head. The gist of the opinion is that SB 1172 is a regulation of professional conduct and, as such, does not violate the free speech rights of SOCE practitioners or minor patients.
The "talking cure" is more than just talk; the spoken therapeutic word, the court maintained, is first and foremost a mechanism used to deliver mental health treatment. It is conduct that is not immune from ordinary state regulation in the interest of public health and safety.
The legislature had deemed the conduct harmful to minors, and that was more than good enough to satisfy the rational basis review to which licensing regulations are subject. (Indeed, harm to a child would satisfy any level of review.)
The court made quick, if not entirely credible, work of the plaintiffs' other claims. The "limited reach" of SB 1172 distinguished it from more intrusive regulation of the therapeutic relationship.
Of course, the plaintiffs would contend that what was truly limited was not the reach of the statute but the court's cramped reading of constitutional rights. For instance, the court defined the parental right at stake as "the right to choose a specific type of provider for a specific medical or mental health treatment that the state has reasonably deemed harmful."
The court applauded itself for treading lightly. It pointed out that the decision does not prevent mental health providers from communicating with the public about SOCE; from expressing their views to patients, whether children or adults, about SOCE, homosexuality, or any other topic;
from recommending SOCE to patients, whether children or adults; from administering SOCE to any person who is 18 years of age or older; or from referring minors to unlicensed counselors, such as religious leaders.
Nor does the ruling prohibit unlicensed providers, such as religious leaders, from administering SOCE to children or adults. And, obviously, it says nothing about parental communications and administrations.
But is the court's constitutional complacency so easily justified?
The case comes down to the question of harm. The state met its legal burden, after all, because it had reasonably deemed SOCE harmful to children.
Yet surely the state also has the authority to protect children from private injuries. If SOCE is per se harmful, could a parent who subjects his or her child to reparative therapy be guilty of child abuse? (The federal Child Abuse Prevention and Treatment Act defines abuse to include "serious emotional harm," as do almost all state child protection statutes.)
If SOCE is harmful, are homophobic teachings—by parents, by religious mentors—a legitimate object of state regulation? There is no licensing system, no professional code of ethics, for the rest of us. Should this not be cause for greater concern?
Harm is a more mercurial standard than courts like to admit.
In Pickup v. Brown, the Ninth Circuit said that the California state legislature acted rationally to protect the well-being of minors. Pointing to a familiar litany of reports and studies, the court declared an "overwhelming consensus" that SOCE is harmful.
But it is not unfair to ask whether this consensus is as much a matter of social policy as it is of scientific proof, as much a matter of moral disapproval as it is about empirically verifiable injury. (Even the harm of physical injury is open to debate. Spanking?)
Put with more tautological vigor, harm is what we as a society think is harmful. Is racism harmful? We have decided it is.
That is, we have decided it is repugnant to our political and social order and, to the extent allowed by our constitutional commitments, we will not tolerate it.
But it was not always thus. Like the concept of illness (it was no small matter to the Ninth Circuit that homosexuality is no longer treated by the mental health community as a disease to be cured, even by talk), harm is a concept that embraces and enforces cultural values; and like other norms, it is subject to the tumult of cultural change. Is homophobia harmful? We are deciding it is.
Courts can, and should, wrap these moral claims in legal raiment.
They can describe conduct we don't like as, say, discrimination or harassment or abuse. They can declare an "overwhelming consensus" that SOCE is harmful. But perhaps what we really mean by all of this, and what we ought to state unapologetically, is that such conduct is just plain wrong.

Our Daughter Alexa (Diagnosed with Brain Cancer and NF-1 in 2004) was running out of treatment options until we went to NEW YORK from Oregon in 2011
for a special Brain Tumor trial. We stayed at the Ronald McDonald House in Expensive ManHattan.
Alex's Lemonade stands travel fund paid for a large portion of our stay at the RMDH. Without their help we would not have been able to stay and concentrate on saving our Daughters life. God Bless Them!
Sincerely, Monica delos Reyes & Lexy
My nephew lost his battle with pediatric cancer, so when I was looking for an organization to support, I used this site to find one that aligned with my fundraising goals. ALSF far exceeded my expectations. I was a member of Team Lemon, and I can't tell you how positive of an experience it was. I had consistent support from the staff and coaches - but nothing ever seemed over the top or frivolous. This organization funds research grants to eliminate cancer, and supports children and families that are going through the battle of their lives. I am proud of have worked with them!
Review from CharityNavigator
www.alexslemonade.org is a wonderful organization dedicated to fighting childhood cancer. Alex's Scott at the age of 4 held a front yard lemonade stand and gave the money to her hospital. Sadly, she lost her battle with Neuroblastoma in 2004. Her family has continued to fulfill her dream so that other children will have better treatments with better outcomes in the future. Our family has held many Alex's Lemonade stands in honor of my son Sean, a Neuroblastoma survivor. We encourage our friends to do the same. It's easy, it's fun, and it is for a great cause!
My experience with ALSF has been awesome. I have been working to raise awareness and donations this summer and have learned a ton of new things myself. It is such a great cause and I hope to make others feel the same as I do.

Outlife is learning and training division of Greater Hyderabad Adventure Club (GHAC), which is the largest and most-active adventure club of India. Outlife was started in 2013 to train corporate professionals on the skills of leadership and management using experimental learning and behavioral training with the blend of outbound and adventurous activities.
It is a graduate company of Founder Institute Accelerator, Hyderabad. It also have adventure travel marketplace on their website that help individuals, groups and corporate in finding best possible adventure tour operators from all around the country.
Diyanat Ali, founder of Outlife says, "There is more to learning and life then just boardroom and work. Outlife focuses on leveraging the power of experiential learning through activities, outdoors, adventure and nature to help individuals, corporate and groups get better with teamwork and leadership through their own experiences and reflections."
Bootstrapped with very minimal amount, Diyanat tasted instant success in his startup when he signed his first client in less than a week time. Later, he realized that the time has come to grow the startup aggressively. So, he raised 5 lakhs as seed fund from his family after 6 months of operations.
Today, Outlife have 5 full-time and 30 part-time associate consultants, trainers and facilitators supporting his vision. They even have an army of 150 associate adventure experts, who help them in conducting adventurous activities. They are conducting 10+ events every month and eyeing turnover of 1 Cr per annum. Presently they have 50 active clients such as Google, Cognizant, HSBC, Microsoft, IBM, Dell, Amazon, Delloite, Accenture, Wipro and many more multinational companies.
Diyanat is a computer science engineer from Osmania University with 8 years of experience working in corporate sector. He is also the first graduate of Founder Institute Hyderabad Chapter, which is an international program based out of Silicon Valley, California, USA. He was a speaker at the TEDx Deccan 2011 and was featured in the Limca Book of Records in 2013 for his exceptional work with the GHAC.
He is a serial entrepreneur, who successfully transformed his passion into million-dollar business. When asked what motivated him to start, he says, "A childhood passion for the outdoors and adventure and learning through reflection and experiences motivated me to start Outlife."
Outlife provides many services for corporates such as experimental learning, leadership development, management development, outbound training, employee management, team building, psychometric assessment, etc.
He says, "We help individuals, groups and corporate apply their knowledge and conceptual understanding to real world problems or situations by developing skills through practice and reflection with experiential learning activities that range from adventure, nature, team building, travel, drama, theater, art, storytelling etc. "
Since experiential learning and adventure travel are 1000 Cr and 600 Cr industries respectively, Outlife is slowly emerging as go-to guy in this space for themed and curated adventure trips for corporates. Due to their incredible success in Hyderabad, Diyanat is hunting appropriate opportunities in metro cities like Bangalore, Pune, Mumbai, Chennai and Delhi to expand their operations this year.
Due to the lack of professional companies in India that provide safe and curated experiences for corporates, colleges and schools, Outlife wants to dominate this space. Diyanat has a reason for it, as he says," Unlike many training and adventure companies, Outlife offers authentic and curated experiences that are developed and delivered by certified trainers, facilitators and instructors to meet the learning and experiential needs of the clients."
He himself is a certified and skilled trainer, as he worked as a Senior Under Officer at National Cadet Corps for 3 years and even won NCC Best Cadet Award from Army Wing from A.P at the Republic Day Camp, New Delhi in 1997.
Diyanat wants to share his entrepreneurial wisdom with budding entrepreneurs, as he says, "Focus and count on your own strengths and take help where you lack the expertise and talent. Develop the entrepreneurial behavioral side like risk taking, perseverance, and resilience to be successful in anything you do especially if boot strapping."
Since he has successfully grown two companies in his life, he says, ''Hire the best guys. The right team members can be the difference between failure and success. Ensure regular commitment and accountability from the team for achieving results. Adopt a "No asshole policy" right from the start."

Secreted aspartic protease-mediated proteolytic cleavage of Msb2 is required for activation of the Cek1 mitogen activated protein kinase (show MAPK1 Antibodies) pathway in response to environmental cues.
The authors propose that a Msb2, Cek1 and Ace2 signalling pathway addresses PMT genes as downstream targets and that different modes of regulation have evolved for PMT1 and PMT2/PMT4 genes.
Msb2 is involved in the transmission of the signal toward Cek1 mediated by the Cdc42 (show CDC42 Antibodies) GTPase (show RACGAP1 Antibodies).
ERK1/2 (show MAPK1/3 Antibodies)-Akt1 (show AKT1 Antibodies) crosstalk regulates arteriogenesis in mice and zebrafish.
eena (show SH3GL1 Antibodies) plays an important role in the development of the myeloid cell through activation of the ERK1/ERK2 (show MAPK1 Antibodies) pathway
ERK1 and ERK2 (show MAPK1 Antibodies) target common and distinct gene sets, confirming diverse roles for these kinases during embryogenesis; for ERK1 different specific genes involved in dorsal-ventral patterning and subsequent embryonic cell migration were identified.
These results demonstrate that induction of Hsp70 (show HSPA1A Antibodies) in response to heat stress is dependent on ERK (show MAPK1 Antibodies) activation in Pac2 (show PSMG2 Antibodies) cells.
Data define distinct roles for ERK1 and ERK2 (show MAPK1 Antibodies) in developmental cell migration processes during zebrafish embryogenesis.
LPS (show IRF6 Antibodies)-activated ERK1,2 was at least partly involved in the observed effects on periodontal ligament stem cell differentiation capacity, acquisition of myofibroblastic attributes, and changes of their immunomodulatory features.
The findings indicate that ERK (show EPHB2 Antibodies) and JNK (show MAPK8 Antibodies) signaling pathways, as well as NF-kappaB (show NFKB1 Antibodies)-mediated signaling are important contributors to the pathogenesis of Kashin-Beck disease.
The antitumor activity of scopoletin may be due to its strong anti-angiogenic effect, which may be mediated by its effective inhibition of ERK1, VEGF-A (show VEGFA Antibodies), and FGF-2 (show FGF2 Antibodies).
High ERK1 expression is associated with melanoma.
findings uncover a role of ERK1 in the regulation of furin (show FURIN Antibodies) activity by supporting a self-sustaining loop for high TGF-beta (show TGFB1 Antibodies) activity in glioma-initiating cells.
Bile duct adenocarcinoma cells overexpress claudin-18 (show CLDN18 Antibodies) via the EGFR (show EGFR Antibodies)/RAS/ERK (show EPHB2 Antibodies) pathway, contributing to cell proliferation and invasion.
Genome-wide gene expression profiling identified a network of VEGF (show VEGFA Antibodies)-responsive and ERG (show ERG Antibodies)-dependent genes.
Finally, the authors show that EGFR (show EGFR Antibodies)-ERK1/2 (show MAPK1/3 Antibodies) and beta1-integrin signaling are the main pathways used for bacteria-mediated EGR1 (show EGR1 Antibodies) upregulation.
ERK1 phosphorylation is mediated by Src (show SRC Antibodies) and Csk (show CSK Antibodies).
Integrin beta1 appears to serve as a partner of Stathmin (show STMN1 Antibodies) induction of ERK (show EPHB2 Antibodies) and Akt (show AKT1 Antibodies) signaling by inhibiting apoptosis in the cholangiocarcinoma cell.
MAPK3/1 participates in primordial follicle activation through mTORC1-KITL (show KITLG Antibodies) signaling.
At low oxLDL levels LOX-1 (show OLR1 Antibodies) activates the protective Oct-1 (show POU2F1 Antibodies)/SIRT1 (show SIRT1 Antibodies) pathway, while at higher levels of the lipoprotein switches to the thrombogenic ERK1/2 (show MAPK1/3 Antibodies) pathway.
Studies indicate that progesterone receptor (show PGR Antibodies) transgenic (Pgrcre/+) mitogen inducible gene 6 (Mig (show CXCL9 Antibodies)-6over) phosphatase and tensin homolog (show PTEN Antibodies) protein (Ptenf/f) knockout mice exhibited an increase of phospho-ERK1/2 (show MAPK1/3 Antibodies) and its target genes.
Gpr182 reduction led to increased activation of ERK1/2 in basal and challenge models, demonstrating a potential role for this orphan GPCR in regulating the proliferative capacity of the intestine.
ERK1 underexpression is associated with obesity.
retinoschisin (show RS1 Antibodies) is a novel regulator of MAP kinase (show MAPK1 Antibodies) signalling and exerts an anti-apoptotic effect on retinal cells.
Postnatal chondrocyte-specific deletion of Hdac3 (show HDAC3 Antibodies) with an inducible Col2a1 (show COL2A1 Antibodies)-Cre caused premature production of pErk1/2 and Mmp13 (show MMP13 Antibodies) in the growth plate.
The progress of neurogenesis depended on sustained ERK (show EPHB2 Antibodies) phosphorylation and resulted in ERK1/2 (show MAPK1/3 Antibodies) translocation to the nucleus.
Mirtazapine suppressed 5-HT (show DDC Antibodies)-mediated TGF-beta1 (show TGFB1 Antibodies)/Smad3 (show SMAD3 Antibodies) and ERK1/2 (show MAPK1/3 Antibodies) signaling pathways as well as oxidative stress that contribute to the progression of liver fibrosis.
The kinase TPL2 (show MAP3K8 Antibodies) activates ERK (show EPHB2 Antibodies) and p38 (show CRK Antibodies) signaling to promote neutrophilic inflammation
Pseudorabies virus glycoprotein gE-mediated ERK 1/2 phosphorylation also occurs in epithelial cells and in these cells, gE-mediated ERK 1/2 signaling is associated with degradation of the pro-apoptotic protein Bim (show BCL2L11 Antibodies).
Treatment with ERK (show MAPK1 Antibodies) inhibitors or ERK1/2 (show MAPK1/3 Antibodies) knockdown significantly suppressed porcine epidemic diarrhea virus progeny production.
This study reveals a new function of the gE glycoprotein of pseudorabies virus and suggests that pseudorabies virus, through activation of ERK1/2 (show MAPK1/3 Antibodies) signaling, has a substantial impact on T cell behavior.
CSF2 (show CSF2 Antibodies) stimulates proliferation of trophectoderm cells by activation of the PI3K-and ERK1/2 (show MAPK1/3 Antibodies) MAPK (show MAPK1 Antibodies)-dependent MTOR (show FRAP1 Antibodies) signal transduction cascades.
PGRN (show GRN Antibodies) inhibits adipogenesis in porcine preadipocytes partially through ERK (show MAPK1 Antibodies) activation mediated PPARgamma (show PPARG Antibodies) phosphorylation.
Porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) might induce autophagy via the AMPK (show PRKAA1 Antibodies)/ERK (show MAPK1 Antibodies)/TSC2 (show TSC2 Antibodies)/mTOR (show FRAP1 Antibodies) signaling pathway in the host cells, representing a pivotal mechanism for PCV2 pathogenesis
Data show that proinflammatory cytokines induction was ERK1/2 (show MAPK1/3 Antibodies) and JNK1 (show MAPK8 Antibodies)/2 dependent.
Saccharomyces cerevisiae inhibits the Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli-induced expression of pro-inflammatory transcripts and this inhibition was associated to a decrease of ERK1/2 (show MAPK1/3 Antibodies) and p38 MAPK (show MAPK14 Antibodies) phosphorylation
ERK1 phosphorylation in response to Insulin-like Growth Factor-1 (show IGF1 Antibodies) does not require activation of the Insulin-like Growth Factor-1 receptor tyrosine kinase (show IGF1R Antibodies)
Retinal ischemia-reperfusion alters expression of mitogen-activated protein kinases, particularly ERK1/2 (show MAPK1/3 Antibodies), in the neuroretina and retinal arteries.
The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the MAP kinase family. MAP kinases, also known as extracellular signal-regulated kinases (ERKs), act in a signaling cascade that regulates various cellular processes such as proliferation, differentiation, and cell cycle progression in response to a variety of extracellular signals. This kinase is activated by upstream kinases, resulting in its translocation to the nucleus where it phosphorylates nuclear targets. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different protein isoforms have been described.

The supernova iPTF16geu exploded at a distance corresponding to a time 4.3 billion years ago. It could only be detected because a foreground galaxy lensed the light of the explosion, making it 52 times brighter for observers on Earth. It also caused the supernova to appear in four distinct places on the sky, surrounding the lensing galaxy in the foreground.

The tub that is! I am looking for something to protect our bath tub from other elements when not in used. My friend suggested to use hot tub covers. I have seen tub covers from my other friends' bathrooms but never thought that I might need one someday.
Their tub is protected from the water droplets and even from the little critters which are crawling in the bathroom. Although my hot tub is not very big, I think it will be good to have it covered every now and then especially when winter is coming. We will seldom use it because of the harsh weather.

The Shopping Language Game
SHOPLANG – "The Shopping Language Game", is a -LINGUA-L1-2006-2736/001-001 SO2 under the Life Long Learning Programme. The project"SHOPLANG – The Shopping Language Game" is about diversity. It's about bringing together people from 7 different European countries to promote the diversity and the multilingual character of united Europe.The main idea of the project is to use the informal environment of the supermarket to popularize the less widely used European languages and to provoke the people's hunger for new knowledge and language skills. This idea of the project is to be achieved through information and promotional campaigns of the 6 target languages, launched simultaneously in the partner countries and supported by publications in newspapers distributed free of charge. Each partner shall make 5 information and promotional campaigns in the basic supermarkets in all target languages except in its own. We expect these language campaigns to help people develop some partial language skills in understanding basic information in the target languages. Furthermore, during the project's implementation the partners will establish close relations with local language centres, providing them with materials in the target languages. The resources in the language centres will also provide basic information about the culture, history and traditions of the partner countries. The project envisages an interim and a final survey at the language centres which will measure the interest in the target languages and encourage people to take language courses in these languages. The project also foresees the designing of a project website which will continue to be hosted after the project's end.

Toyota's engineers and designers have made changes to improve the 2011 Toyota Matrix, hoping to boost its popularity. The updated model, which received mostly cosmetic and trim-related modifications, made its debut at the 2011 Chicago Auto Show. The changes are much like those on the facelifted 2011 Corolla.
The sporty five-door models feature new standard wheels, interior design features, the Toyota Care complimentary maintenance plan, and standard Smart Stop Technology. Toyota kept the 1.8-liter and 2.4-liter powerplants as well as the old four-speed automatic transmission.
The car's exterior has been given supple changes, including rounded rear windows while the Matrix S also gets the all-new front and rear bumpers, integrated front and rear underbody spoilers and a large mesh front fog light bezel.
A new Spruce Mica color has been added to the available range. Only two trim levels are available for the 2011 models: base and S. These are powered by either a 132-horsepower 1.8-liter or 158-horsepower 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine.
Buyers can get the all-wheel drive, which is offered as an optional extra for the Matrix S when mated with the 2.4-liter engine.
The Matrix grade offers the following standard equipment: an all-weather package, power windows with driver's side auto down and retained power features, power door locks, cruise control, color-keyed power heated rearview mirrors, tilt and telescopic steering wheel, heavy duty rear window defogger, AM/FM/CD audio with four speakers with MP3/WMA playback capability, auxiliary audio jack and auto sound leveling (ASL), intermittent rear window wiper, 12-volt power outlet, front center-console box and an engine immobilizer.

Anglican archbishop to meet with pope
Two developments arose after the Catholic Church's surprising overtures last month to Anglicans.
First, the Vatican has confirmed that Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams, spiritual leader of the world's Anglicans, will meet Pope Benedict XVI on Nov. 21.
The second development is a clarification issued by Catholic leaders about how the conversion of married Anglican priests will mesh with the Catholic tradition of celibate priest.
Catholic leaders issued a clarification that essentially says only current Anglican priests and seminarians will be allowed to become Catholic priests.Beliefnet founder to work for Obama
Beliefnet Editor-in-Chief Steven Waldman announced that he is leaving to work for the Obama administration.
Waldman built Beliefnet.com from the ground up, editing and blogging for the Web site. He and the Web site have gone through rocky times, including the company's bankruptcy, to become it what it is today -- a mixture of religion news, multi-faith communities and how-to spirituality content.

Finished Rainbow Factory Dash Cosplay by sasukeharberWatch
©2013-2017 sasukeharber
this is my own rainbow factory dash cosplay , it was gonna be worn at a con, but I changed my mind , I do still plan to take this to a con, just not sure what .
the gauntlet on my arm is based on my own design of a portable pegasus device.
this outfit is based on all the artworks,fanfiction of the rainbow factory.

There's one man's blood you'll never get...... Chuck Norris
I adore this cosplay! I plan to make one myself, borrowing some elements of your glove/gauntlet and mixing them with some influence from Repo: The Genetic Opera.
thank you, that sounds awesome, id love to see any pictures you come up with
I'm still planning some changes, but here's the Pegasus Device thus far...
What did you use for the blood?
And how did you make the lab coat?
And how did you make the lab coat?
Hey! I know this is a little late, but do you think you could message me privately? I would love to have your assistance. If not, i understand why, but it would mean a lot to me.
We all wan't to know how to make the Pegasus device. Please tell us!
Thank you soooo much!
its thick foam for the main arm with small foam pieces for detail, i used test tubes from ebay for all the colours those were different types of shapoos and washing up liquids for the right colours xD , its pretty much all glued together, and the spikes on the hands are foamboard and the rings on my fingers are friendly plastic
How did you make the pegasus device???
It looks amazing! I do love the hand worn pegasus device! Hm....maybe bring it to brony con? I dont know >n<
id love to go to a brony con but sadly im not heading to any this year
Would you ever do a tutorial for the portable pegasus device?I'm working on a cosplay with something similar and that would help alot
i havnt really done a how to for this, i forgot to take pictures sadly, but its made with foam covered in pva glue with the tubes all glued in
How did you make the hand rig?
Awww. Someone else got to it before me. I still plan to do a cosplay of Rainbow Factory RD while my best friend does a cupcake version of PP. I was actually thinking of having one of RD's wings replaced by an automaton while PP has her lost wing and one of Fluttershy's sown onto her cloak of cutie marks. Just to tie the two together. I'm gonna have a hell of a time with the cloak though. So many cutie marks! I have some research to do here. The gauntlet was an interesting idea but I don't like the idea of having those liquid filled vials on my arm since I'm clumsy and likely to break it. I might carry a false needle though filled with some rainbow liquid.
i love it!!!!!!!
Great Cosplay costume!
I'm working on a doctor whooves cosplay while my friend is working on a derpy one.
AWESOME! I love the glove with the rainbow tubes on it!
Pretty damn awesome
the hand is so awsome
ist you hair or a wig
ist you hair or a wig
This looks awesome~
Yeah, I second a tutorial. This is the best cospplay I have ever seen, and it would be so cool to make my OC a Rainbow Factory worker. :L

Check if u have created a DSN first
If you have created, then check the spelling in your code.
He is not able to locate the DSN u have created!!
Hope this helps

file DSN
i have just created the link DSN to db Oracle, using driver odbc for oracle and driver "ora in OraHome92" (the name of driver).
I have verified the connection and it's ok.
The problem verified on browser.
searching on internet, I found that the error is due to permission to file and/or directory of site, but I don't know how proceed.

BERKELEY — East Bay Sikhs invite their neighbors of all religious denominations to join them in a spiritual march for world peace through the streets of Berkeley on Sunday.
The event, sponsored by the El Sobrante-based Sikh Center of San Francisco Bay Area, commemorates the martyrdom 407 years ago of Sri Guru Arjan Dev Sahib Ji, the compiler of the foundation of the Sikh holy book who is revered by Sikhs as the embodiment of peace.
Guru Arjan Dev also is credited with building the Golden Temple in Amritsar, India, Sikhism's holiest place of worship.
The spiritual peace march, which includes singing of sacred hymns, has been a Berkeley tradition since 2008. It began in El Sobrante in 2006 and moved to Berkeley two years later. Sunday's event will start at Civic Center Park at 10:30 a.m. There will be free food and refreshments.
Guru Arjan Dev was born in 1563 and died in 1606 near today's India-Pakistan border after torture with fire and boiling water at the hands of the Mughal regime, according to Sikh historians. He accepted it as God's will, saying over and over, "Your will is sweet; I ask for the gift of thy Name," according to a news release from the Sikh Center, which also featured a poem by the Guru:
"The sense of estrangement is vanished
"Since I have been blessed with the company of saints.
"Foe and Stranger there is none.
"I am at peace with everyone.
"I accept the Beloved's Will with pleasure.
"This wisdom I received from the saints.
"The One Beloved resides in every one."

For instance, I drew the following image from my laptop. On the top of the screen, it predicted that it might be a skateboard, or a bus, or a car or a... Then I am able to tell it what I was wanting it to be - In this case, I wanted it to be a car. I could then change color of the image, and if I wanted, I could also add other content with it.
This can be a great way by which a student can get free to use images to support the work that they produce. I find this to be a very clever tool as it can be used in many different applications:
- making a quick poster
- getting images to support a Google Slide presentation (or for other web tools)
- making a sketch note
The possibilities are endless. If you have any questions as to how you can use this tool with your students, stop by and we can chat.
Oh and by the way, if you have not tried out Google Quick Draw! yet, you have to try it out. It is a fun game to play where you have 20 seconds for the computer to figure out what image you are drawing. We played this with our advisees one day with the help of a projector and the IPevo Interactive Whiteboard.
And that is my spiel...

ROYERSFORD >> Spring-Ford put up 40 points against District 3 power Wilson last week and it wasn't enough.
That was tough.
But so were the Rams Friday against previously unbeaten Exeter. They amassed 436 yards of total offense, made a bevy of big plays, and were stifling defensively, holding the Eagles to nearly 200 yards below their per-game rushing average. The result was a resounding, rebounding 38-6 victory at Coach McNelly Stadium.
Spring-Ford (3-1), which opens PAC play with Norristown next Friday, got several prolific individual performances. Junior quarterback TJ Pergine threw for 240 yards – 120 in each half – on 12-for-22 passing and two touchdowns. Stone Scarcelle caught 7 passes for 163 yards and had two plus-40 plays, one of them a 49-yard score. Matt Gibson rushed for 103 yards on 10 carries, including bursts of 31 and 50, and Dan Cassidy had an 80-yard interception return for a TD and a 25-yard scoring reception.
"We talked about it all week, coming back after the loss at Wilson," Cassidy said. "We wanted to come back strong and play hard."
"No matter what, we have to take it one game at a time," Gibson said. "We had to forget what happened last week (a double-overtime loss) and focused on the week ahead of us."
Exeter has an excellent running back in junior Nick Sarangoulis and a fine running quarterback in Brandon Unterkoefler. They had combined for 449 yards on the ground in the first two games, and the Eagles had averaged 325. But against the Rams the going was tough. Stringing out pitch plays and swarming the inside, the Rams held the Eagles to 136 rushing yards on 37 carries, less than 4 per attempt. Sarangoulis had 73 yards on 21 carries and Unterkoefler 45 on 11.
Through the air, Unterkoefler found it just as difficult, as Spring-Ford played excellent tight coverage and held him to a 6-of-19 night. Tight end Gabe Schappell, big and talented, did make three catches for 68 yards including a 19-yard beauty late in the game that set up the Eagles' lone TD.
After both teams played stout defense and traded punts in the early going, Spring-Ford started to spring loose late in the first quarter. They went 80 yards in just three plays, with Gibson going left for 31 and Pergine finding Scarcelle on a deep route for the 49-yard score with 32.9 seconds left in the first quarter. Scarcelle broke a tackle and was gone to the end zone.
Following a drive that led to a field goal, Spring-Ford mounted more momentum on another 80-yard surge that took just 2:06. Gibson's 50-yard romp set up his 5-yard TD and it was 17-0 with 2:08 left in the half.
"They kept blitzing off the edges so I had to be very patient," Gibson said. "Our line was doing a very good job and the holes opened up."
The game opened up for Spring-Ford further when, on the next Exeter possession, Cassidy read a throw perfectly, made the interception and blasted 80 yards down the left side with a nice convoy, with 31 seconds before halftime – 24-zip.
It was extra unfortunate for Exeter; the Eagles had finally moved the ball fairly well and gotten into the red zone.
"A 14-point swing," lamented Exeter coach Matt Bauer. "You've got to tip your hat to Spring-Ford. Their kids made a lot of plays. We just didn't execute."
"The line pressured the quarterback and got him to scramble, so he was throwing across his body," Cassidy said. "And I was able to get in position to pick it off. And the linemen who pressured him gave me some nice blocks."
Defensively, Spring-Ford was led by Tanner Romano, Toby Poet, Lee Albert, Ryan Yanulevich and a host of others. On both sides of the ball, the Rams look ready to attack the PAC.
"We're excited to get back in the conference and play some familiar teams," Gibson said.

|[jira] [Commented] (YARN-5734) OrgQueue for easy CapacityScheduler queue configuration management
|Tue, 18 Oct 2016 23:23:58 GMT
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/YARN-5734?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=15587003#comment-15587003 ] Jonathan Hung commented on YARN-5734: ------------------------------------- [~curino], thanks for the comments. For 1 and 2, this is in our plans (to do either internally or e.g. in a feature branch). The Derby based storage is one implementation (and eventually we will implement an RMStateStore version). I took a quick look at some of the ReservationSystem code - my understanding is that the {{PlanQueue}}'s capacity/max-capacity is currently mutable in the same way as {{ParentQueue}} (i.e. via {{refreshQueues}})? The dynamic part is in the {{ReservationQueue}}. So instead of having to {{setEntitlement}} for each child of a {{PlanQueue}}, we can leverage the MutableConfigurationProvider API to change all child queue capacities of a {{PlanQueue}}. Is this what you had in mind? Also changing queue configurations such as user-limit or user-limit-factor of a {{ReservationQueue}} can be done via this API (as can other configurations if they are added to {{ReservationQueue}} in the future). > OrgQueue for easy CapacityScheduler queue configuration management > ------------------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: YARN-5734 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/YARN-5734 > Project: Hadoop YARN > Issue Type: New Feature > Reporter: Min Shen > Assignee: Min Shen > Attachments: OrgQueue_Design_v0.pdf > > > The current xml based configuration mechanism in CapacityScheduler makes it very inconvenient to apply any changes to the queue configurations. We saw 2 main drawbacks in the file based configuration mechanism: > # This makes it very inconvenient to automate queue configuration updates. For example, in our cluster setup, we leverage the queue mapping feature from YARN-2411 to route users to their dedicated organization queues. It could be extremely cumbersome to keep updating the config file to manage the very dynamic mapping between users to organizations. > # Even a user has the admin permission on one specific queue, that user is unable to make any queue configuration changes to resize the subqueues, changing queue ACLs, or creating new queues. All these operations need to be performed in a centralized manner by the cluster administrators. > With these current limitations, we realized the need of a more flexible configuration mechanism that allows queue configurations to be stored and managed more dynamically. We developed the feature internally at LinkedIn which introduces the concept of MutableConfigurationProvider. What it essentially does is to provide a set of configuration mutation APIs that allows queue configurations to be updated externally with a set of REST APIs. When performing the queue configuration changes, the queue ACLs will be honored, which means only queue administrators can make configuration changes to a given queue. MutableConfigurationProvider is implemented as a pluggable interface, and we have one implementation of this interface which is based on Derby embedded database. > This feature has been deployed at LinkedIn's Hadoop cluster for a year now, and have gone through several iterations of gathering feedbacks from users and improving accordingly. With this feature, cluster administrators are able to automate lots of thequeue configuration management tasks, such as setting the queue capacities to adjust cluster resources between queues based on established resource consumption patterns, or managing updating the user to queue mappings. We have attached our design documentation with this ticket and would like to receive feedbacks from the community regarding how to best integrate it with the latest version of YARN. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: email@example.com For additional commands, e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com

Tall Ships: Breaking down sectarian barriers with the tides of change
Belfast Lough will be awash with Tall Ships today as the spectacular vessels pull into the city's port again - the first of which arrived yesterday for this year's maritime event.
The city first saw the flotilla of spectacular sailing ships arrive in Belfast back in 1991, returning in 2009.
As tourists and locals alike flock to the riverside over the next few days to enjoy the sailing ships, one cross-border organisation is lobbying both the Northern Ireland Assembly and the Republic's government to contribute funding for two purpose-built sailing ships which they claim could transform lives for young people all over Ireland.
Neil O'Hagan (31), executive director of the Atlantic Youth Trust, which has offices in Belfast and Dublin, says the two ships could facilitate up to 1,000 teenagers a year who would sail the ships as part of a 40-strong crew.
The youngsters, aged between 15 and 18, will learn communication skills and how to work as a team during the 10-day voyages around the coast of Ireland. Neil's passion for the project, though, is fuelled by his desire to help break down sectarian barriers among young Irish people on both sides of the border.
"At the very least after 10 days the young people will have a new group of associates, but hopefully they will have made new lifelong friends. It is an opportunity to change people's attitudes to age-old tensions, because there is so much ignorance. What I want to achieve is the sense that when young people from all over Ireland, north and south, see the ship they say 'it's our ship'," he says.
Long term he sees the role of the purpose-built sailing ships - each would be a 40 metre long brig - as vessels which would carry the next generation into a more peaceful, tolerant and prosperous society.
"I was born in Dublin, and lived and worked in Belfast for two years with a public relations agency, but my mother is from Belfast and my father is from Rostrevor," says Neil.
The recruits, or trainees, would comprise of 20 girls and 20 boys from all over Ireland, north and south, and both sides of the sectarian divide. The trust will work closely with post primary schools, the PSNI and Probation Boards to select youngsters from all walks of life. "Someone who has grown up on the Malone Road has just as much to learn about themselves as someone from a deprived background," adds Neil.
So far, both governments have responded positively to the trust following extensive meetings at the highest level. Neil says there is a sense among the Irish government that they want to do business, while meetings at Stormont with the First and Deputy First Minister have proved promising with support also at civil servant level.
Atlantic Youth Trust backer and local businessman Peter Cooke says: "People can work things out at sea that they just cannot on land - when they are on land, they can just walk away. The young people go onto the ship not knowing anyone. When two young guys are stuck up a mast together they have to cling onto each other and work together. It's a shared space and a mobile asset. That is the joy of a ship."
The young people will also learn about the importance of the environment while on board.
The crew also have a main large room in the stern of the ship where they take part in educational exercises and eat together during the 10-day excursion.
The ships will cover a variety of routes between Northern Ireland and the Republic, for example, Cork to Londonderry and others.
There are few other organisations that are facilitating a project of this nature, according to Peter, a keen lifelong sailor who was previously chairman of a similar organisation, the Ocean Youth Trust in Northern Ireland.
Peter, now a trustee for Atlantic Youth Trust, doesn't need any convincing of the scheme's character-building benefits. He recalls the experiences of one of the earliest participants in the Ocean Youth Trust — a young girl from west Belfast who had suffered sexual abuse.
"She hadn't spoken since she had been abused and wasn't keen to get involved in crewing the ship," he says.
Even after the trip she still wasn't speaking. Then she turned up at our office in Carrick with the most beautiful poetry she had written about a sunset she had witnessed on the ship. She said she wanted to work for the trust as a volunteer."
Neil agrees the necessity of pulling together while at sea is not just about learning how to hoist a sail and sleep in a hammock. "The biggest challenges on board are getting on with other people rather than sailing a boat," he says.
"Some of the most interesting conversations that have taken place on some of our initial sailings have been between young Catholic men and their counterparts from the Republic. They discuss their struggles with identity and what this means to them."
The trust's business model is based on a 40-year-old scheme in New Zealand created and run by the Spirit of Adventure. And this template will be used by the Atlantic Youth Trust.
"New Zealand had issues with islanders and the Maori community so there is a lot to learn from them. What they are doing is considered almost part of the educational curriculum," says Neil.
The cost of sending one young person on what could be the trip-of-a-lifetime has been set at £100 per person per day by the trust. They have opted for purpose-built ships which will be seaworthy for up to 30 years, as well as ticking all the necessary health and safety boxes, rather than refurbishing an existing vessel which they say would be a false economy.
"It takes two and a half years to get a ship built and onto the water, then it's good for 30 years. Over that time we can put 1,000 young people onto the ships to be part of a 40-man crew for 10-day voyages," Neil says.
As well as seeking government funding, the trust will tap into groups in the north and the south, such as the International Fund for Ireland, to help offset some of the costs.
"We think if you can afford to pay you should," Neil says. "That includes young people from a wealthy family, or perhaps someone from a youth group who could fund raise on their behalf. Ultimately, we hope to have funding from other organisations which will cover 30-40% of our capital costs."
And when it comes to involving schools and youth groups, the Trust is clear that one person is chosen to become part of the ship's crew. "A school can choose a pupil based on the fact that the individual is struggling to succeed, or as a reward for success — it's up to them. The process ensures that youngsters aren't coming on board with their friends — they are coming onto a ship where they don't know anyone," Neil says.
The all-Ireland initiative has also forged important partnerships with significant agencies from those involved in peace funding to ports north and south, including the Reconciliation Fund, the Department of Foreign Affairs, the Port of Larne, Peace Players and the Harbour Commissioners among others. The trust is also teaming up working with significant maritime architects who have worked with Harland & Wolff in a bid to harness the high level local expertise.
The trust relied on the belief of its investors to set up a £160,000 seed fund which came mostly from individuals and corporations who shared its vision.
"Before we asked for any capital investment we had to set up this fund which business people on both sides of the border invested. They believe in what we are trying to achieve," says Neil.
A subsequent Ernst and Young report prepared a business case on the project and analysed how its objectives fitted in with education and youth justice policy in the UK, the Republic and the European Union.
Neil is happy to report the findings identified the main four objectives of youth development, cross-border peace-building, maritime educational and economic benefits with an ambassadorial element, which were all contained in the scheme.
"The cross-border, cross-community element of this facilitates peace building, while introducing young people to the sea in a safe way and identifying possible careers as a consequence contributes to the maritime experience," he says. "Finally, the template we hope to create can easily be transferred to other communities in London or South Africa, for example."
Neil says they hope to see big capital investment from now until the end of next year, from which point it will take just over another two years to get the ship sailing.
He is confident the ships can help young people to change the course of their lives: "We sent four young people from Galway, who were all members of the travelling community, none of whom were in full-time education to take part in the New Zealand scheme. When they came back two returned to full-time education and a third got a job."
There is even a possibility one of the ships could be built in Belfast, should government monies be forthcoming. "This is an opportunity for us to rediscover our maritime past since the loss of our shipbuilding industry," Peter adds.
"Government has a commitment to build structures that operate across the border, so this is very appealing to them. The politicians are very interested in this. It is aspirational at this stage, but there could be a possibility of building one of the ships in Northern Ireland, where usually this would go out to European contract."
The young crew's daily challenges will include being divided into watches as they sail the ship.
"When you are on watch, someone else will be in their bed sleeping," explains Neil. "Everyone will get the chance to lead a team during the 10-day voyage."

The first time I heard of Idina Menzel was last week, when our company's receptionist sent out an e-mail saying employees could get 30 percent off tickets to Menzel's upcoming show with the Boston Pops.
Fast foward one week. Eight o'clock tonight found me and my co-worker Rowan in the first row of the first balcony, stage left, practically close enough to smell Keith Lockhart's hair product. But we weren't watching him. How could we? Right next to him was the busty, in-your-face Menzel, rocking the house in a clingy, mermaid-style gown.
Menzel, as I know now, is a star of the Broadway stage. Not a "star" like some of the middling ones that occasionally sing with the Pops, but a real star. I say that not because of her resume ("Rent," "Wicked") but because of her exuberant, warm presence, and because of her powerhouse voice, whose reverbations must have been felt in the fillings of patrons in the nosebleed seats and beyond.
Menzel opened with a fun number ("The Life of the Party"), and then moved to an inspired arrangement of Cole Porter's "Love for Sale" with the Police classic "Roxanne."
Of course, she included hits from "Wicked" ("Defying Gravity"), plus "Rent" ("No Day But Today," and an a capella version of "For Good"). She also threw in a song she and her husband wrote for their 8-month-old son. With its charming lyrics ("Did you go somewhere special in your dream? Did you go sailing across a silver stream?"), the swingy tune was a huge crowd-pleaser.
Menzel was good at chit-chat too, telling entertaining stories, including a serious one (about the premature death of "Rent" composer Jonathan Larsen) and a funny one (about her days as a wedding singer, pumping out "Conga" and "Hot Hot Hot"). The latter anecdote led to a gorgeous rendition of "Embraceable You." Menzel's encore was an exquisite "Tomorrow."
Prior to the show, I'd watched one or two YouTubes of Menzel and, to be honest, hadn't been bowled over. Either I'd picked bad ones or just wasn't connecting with the songs. But this evening's show was a major "Wow." Thanks, Idina!

Crews installed the ferry's propulsion systems, including the main engines and the water jets, and electrical systems throughout the vessel. Also, the exterior of the new ferry has been painted and much of the interior ceilings and walls are finished. After launching, Dakota technicians made the final machinery alignments while continuing to work on the final outfitting in the interior. The delivery date to Washington State Ferries is scheduled for August 21. After shakedown cruises and crew training, Snohomish will join Chinook in service on Puget Sound.

Happy New Year!
2011 is here ... 2010 is history ... 2011 is a new beginning, a blank slate.
Today looks to be another lazy day here. I'll probably turn on the Rose Bowl parade while cutting fabrics for T#4's big girl quilt ... it's slow going ... my cuts have all been small squares (2", 2 3/4") ... and my legs don't seem to tolerate standing for long periods of time. Fortunately, I'm done with the small squares and only have strips to cut for the rest of the fabrics, so the cutting *should* go a little more quickly. It doesn't help that cutting and piecing are my least favorite parts of quilt-making. ;-)
I'm going to make a log cabin variation (log cabins and 9 patches are my favorite quilt patterns!).
I still have DSIL's quilt here ... a tummy bug has hit DD's house. :-( Unless she needs me to help out, I'm going to try to stay clear of the germs if possible. He still doesn't know that I've made him a quilt ... and I can't wait until he sees it.
Wishing you all a blessed 2011!

Enjoy your first day of the New Year! alot of people are sick around here too!ReplyDelete
Sounds like a great indoor idea with the tv on for background noise and being crafty at the same time.
Happy New Year.
It's going to be a beautiful quilt. I am watching the parade right now. Our local channel repeats it all day long. I am going to be lazy and eat all the left over snacks from last night. Enjoy your day, your new start!ReplyDelete
Wow it will be so pretty! Glad you had a relaxing day.ReplyDelete
Ooh, pink, brown and green - gorgeous colour combo!ReplyDelete
I've thought about quilting, but I've never tried it. Do you do it by hand or on the machine? Just curious.ReplyDelete
I am SO glad you stopped by! No proving that you're a robot here ... I want to hear what you have to say! ;-)
