…and the temperature was 70…
…and there was a light breeze.
I'm pretty sure that I wouldn't.
We've had 2 in a row and I'm thinking I could get used to this.
I do know that I get tired of cold days…fast.
Like…really fast.
I'm thinking I might try to talk my family into moving to Hawaii.
Until then, I'll just enjoy these days while they're here!
18″ wide burlap ribbon
hot glue
fake flower bush
Cut a piece of ribbon as long as you want your bag to be.
Fold the raw edges over and hot glue.
Fold the ribbon lengthwise and glue the bottom and side together.
Knot a piece of rope and glue to the sides.
Now you have a perfect bag ready to hold all of the beautiful Spring flowers that are about to be blooming.
Or you can run down to Hobby Lobby and pick up a fake bush that looks almost real.
And hope that tomorrow holds more sunshine and warmth!
As for Hawaii, maybe they get tired of all of the sunshine?!
Maybe one day I'll know.
Life to the full!
]]>…and birds chirping…
…and kiddos running and playing!
Tell me that you've been able to fling your windows wide open!
Tell me that you've enjoyed the Spring like my family has this weekend!
And while the girls jumped and laughed…
…I cleaned out my garden shed…
…and made a wreath.
Here's how you can make one yourself!
You'll need:
2 stems of garland greenery
1 bush of a medium size flower
1 hydrangea bush
2 more hydrangea blooms in another color
2 long twiggy stems
Add the 2 garland greenery stems to a grapevine wreath,
working in opposite directions.
Cut the hydrangea to where they have about 6″ stems,
and add to the top.
Pull the flowery bush apart,
and add the pieces to each side of the hydrangea.
Last step is to add the twiggy branches to each side of the hydrangea.
And there you have one beautiful new Spring wreath!
Now I've got to get back outside…
…there are bushes to be trimmed…
…and furniture to be painted…
…and this Spring weather has made me feel ALIVE again!
Life to the full!
]]>…my master bedroom is dangerously close to being done!
Dangerous in the sense that I'm so pleased with where it stands…
…that I might not finish the last projects on the original list.
I've bought a new desk for my hubby's bedside table.
{Still need a new desk chair – one of the projects that must be finished!}
I've gold leafed the bed and painted all of the furniture.
I've created a gallery wall above my new nightstand.
{A special thanks to my friend Julie for gifting me with this BEAUTIFUL piece of furniture!}
I've made a burlap mat for our family picture.
Along with a burlap bedskirt.
I've hung pictures and set out accessories.
{I still need to replace that rocking chair.}
I've framed this original watercolor.
{Details on the blog soon.}
And for the last project, I'd like to replace the 80′s ceiling fan with a lovely french chandelier.
No luck yet in finding what I'm looking for yet.
It's out there. I can be patient.
I'm happy to report that my husband loves our new room as much as I do!
And if those last projects don't get completed…
…well, worse things have happened!
Life to the full!
]]>It actually snowed here this morning!
I know some of you are so over the snow thing…but this is our first time to see any flakes!
And we quite LOVE them!
Today I'm sharing a fun idea over at Belvedere Designs.
They make the most amazing vinyl signs and decals.
And they helped me come up with a perfect solution for Anna Belle's room.
I'd LOVE for you to come over and say HI!
Just click **HERE** and you'll be there.
And you can see the full project!
Life to the full!
It fills my heart with a renewed joy…
…and energizes my very soul.
So I've been setting the table and planning menus.
I'm ready to entertain!
My first layer was a twin bedspread that I used as a tablecloth.
Next came the chargers.
And the white dishes.
{This makes a great backdrop for any table setting.}
Next I layered on the dishes and added the stemware.
Followed by the white napkins with grapevine wreath napkin rings.
{You can get a set of these in the grapevine wreath section at the craft store – cheap!}
I also added an old lace tablecloth puddled in the middle of the table.
I added the Spring Centerpiece that I made a couple of days ago…slightly off center.
Along with 3 candlesticks.
The final touches were the white bird with the tiny nest,
one glass pedestal dish with green ball,
and one more green ball.
Now I just need to get that menu together!
I feel sure that I'm going to need to make my Strawberry Pretzel Salad…and my Fudge Pie.
Life to the full!
]]>I'm almost done.
So close to being done…that I've almost stopped working on it…
…before it's finished.
You know what I'm talking about.
You work and work and work on a project…and then you just leave the last things on the list undone.
You're bored with that project and ready to move on to the next.
So today when I was fanning through my paint deck trying to pick out the perfect shade of cream for my kitchen (which is the next project)
I stopped myself…and marched myself up to my room…and finished another project that needed to be done in there.
And I'll be so glad that I did.
Here is the before…It looks much better in this picture than it did in person.
I used Annie Sloan Chalk Paint in Coco.
I distressed it with a damp rag.
And followed it with a clear wax.
It's perfect with my gold leaf bed.
And my new burlap bedskirt.
And that's one more project that I can scratch off of my list!
One project closer to being able to move on to my kitchen!
(And if you happen to know the perfect shade of cream…you can just leave that in the comments.)
Life to the full!
]]>Like the other night, while we were watching the Olympics (which is the first network TV I've watched in a LONG time) a commercial came on for a show called The Voice.
Seems that all of the people who host The Voice are at the top of the fame ladder…
…and I didn't recognize any of them except for Usher…
…and that's only because he sang part of a song with Justin Bieber…and my 9 year old went through a time where she loved his songs…and we listened to that very song over and over and over.
So yesterday morning, I decided I was going to change all of that.
I was going to catch up…be able to talk about the latest movies…recognize famous people…know what the latest TV shows are.
I was all prepared to fold some laundry and watch some morning talk shows…
…until I figured out that I didn't know how to turn our TV on.
Because we don't have one remote; we have 3. And you have to make sure that the TV is on and the box is on and each remote controls a different part.
And on my way to call my husband to get him to explain it to me…I got distracted with making a new Spring arrangement.
And tweaking my latest gallery wall.
So I might not be able to chat about the movie stars of the world…but here are
1. Stick to a basic color scheme.
2. Mix art with photographs.
3. Group smaller "like" things close together to make them "read" as one piece.
4. Throw in some unframed "object" art.
5. Add mats to some pictures to make them appear larger.
6. Don't use the same frame over and over. Mix them up.
7. Space all of your pictures about the same distance apart from one another.
8. Don't make yourself crazy with the perfect spacing. It's ok to make a couple of holes in the wall before you get it right.
9. Start with your larger objects in the center and work to the edges with the smaller pieces.
10. Use different sized pictures.
And here is an extra tip:
Hang things that you LOVE to look at!
As for the cultural relevance…I've now been taught how to turn this TV on…so it's just a matter of time before I'll be in the know!
Life to the full!
]]>I worry about things that have never happened and other things that will probably never happen.
So the other night as I lay awake busying my mind with my latest random worry thought…
…and I was praying that the Lord would take the worry from me…
…this simple, refreshing thought came to mind.
"Instead of mulling over all of this worry ~ Start counting your blessings."
Because in all of the worry…
…I was missing the blessings.
The blessings that have filled my life to overflowing.
The blessings that have happened.
And I vowed that on that day I would replace every thought of worry with a thought of thankfulness.
And you know what happened?
My heart was nearly busting at the seams as I lived that day.
And one of the things that I gave thanks for was the beautiful Spring day!
So here is an arrangement that can be made in just a few minutes and will remind you that Spring is on its way.
empty urn
garland of greenery
{Click HERE to find out how to make them.}
Fill the top of the urn with the garland.
Add the flower covered balls.
Add the nest.
Then find a place in your home for you to enjoy your new Spring centerpiece.
And today may you and I both replace every thought of worry…
…with thoughts of thankfulness…
…and may our hearts be full instead of burdened!
Life to the full!
]]>My dad thinks we did just fine without it…
…he wonders why my mom hung feed sacks in the guest bedroom…
…when they're actually beautiful custom burlap curtains!
I find myself twisting it and gluing it and sewing it everywhere…
…it just always seems to work!
Here are 20 great ways to add a bit of burlap to your home!
Just click on the picture and it will take you over to Hometalk and you will be able to see all of the ideas!
And while you're checking out those…
…you're sure to find more great inspiration over at Hometalk!
Life to the full!
But more than a warm, inviting space…
…and more than pretty rooms…
…I pray that our home is rich with tradition and meaning.
I want to teach my girls and guide them and pray with them and have fun with them.
I don't want to be so wrapped up in my own "to-do list" that I miss those small moments that will shape them.
And as I think about Valentine's Day, I am reminded what an amazing husband I have. And what a wonderful father my girls have.
And I know for sure and for certain that God led me straight to this man.
Because when I was in the 10th grade, a Sunday School teacher had each of us to write down the things that we wanted in our mate. And they encouraged us to begin to pray for that person.
I still remember my list:
1. Someone who could make me laugh.
2. Someone who loved children and would value me being a "stay-at-home" mom.
3. Someone who wanted to be active with a youth group at church.
4. Someone who would be a leader in the church.
5. And if that someone could have dark hair and green eyes, well that would just be bonus points!
And even though I went through times in those next 6 years that I got distracted and didn't pray for him,
I always made my way back to that little list.
And God was so faithful.
Because if you know my husband, you know that my list was right on.
{This picture was taken on our honeymoon. Wow we were young!}
I am so thankful for the Sunday School teacher who had us take the time to make that list.
And more than anything I pray that my girls will marry men just like their daddy.
So in each of their rooms, we have a tiny heart frame that is empty.
But that little frame represents the man that will one day be their mate.
And I don't want a day to go by that we aren't lifting him up in prayer.
It just takes a moment…
And I must admit that there are days that I see the little frame, but my list is too long, and I'm too distracted…
…But I want to take that small moment every day to lift him up.
And I trust that God will be faithful to those prayers.
And 18 years into their marriages, they will be stronger, better people for having married that man.
And he will still make them laugh harder than anyone they know.
And they will be leading their children to love the Lord.
And they will be more in love than ever.
And they will wonder how they got so lucky to marry someone so wonderful.
And they will think back to that tiny tarnished silver heart frame…
…and they will know that it is all because of those prayers that we prayed for all of those years.
Life to the full!
**I almost hesitated to publish this, because I know that there are women who will read this who have experienced such pain and hurt in their marriages. And I know that some of the situations that you find yourself in are out of your control. And as I write this, I am lifting YOU up…with my eyes literally full of tears…praying for God to heal your heart.**

the story of steve (book)
3 diamonds
but here is it finally
Chapter 1
Getting to know the game.
Today, our main character Steve is going to play Minecraft for the first time.
He bought the game, and the first thing he notices is that it's all blocky.
Steve loves blocks, he has Legos all over his place.
All he knows is that he must survive... but how?
First, Steve gathers dirt.
He thinks, if i use this brown block, i can make a shelter.
Steve starts to notice the sun going down .
Steve panicks, he is wondering what what to do?
As night sets and creeper spawns.
Not only that, but it spawned right behind him!
Before he even knows it, he's blown up!
Steve doesn't survive his first night......
Chapter 2
Steve's first shelter
On his second day of Minecraft, Steve gathered wood.
He noticed that by putting these tools in the crafting slots in patterns, you can make certain items!
He needed torches, but where can he find some?
"Ah," Steve said. "I need to find some coal..."
But first, he built a shelter. It was in a small cave.
Steve wanted to get some coal, but it was night.
Since he was desperate, he crafted a furnace.
He burned some wood for the tiniest hint of light.
By burning that, he found out you can make charcoal!
He made some torches by putting sticks and the charcoal and his crafting table.
With these, he lit up the cave, so no more monsters would spawn in the vacinity.
Steve survived his second night.
Chapter 3
the beggining of something nice
So far, Steve has enjoyed his little life in Minecraft (except for the creeper at the beginning).
It was day 10.
He had found some people that he has allied with to survive.
They made a very luxurious house.
They put a cacti wall around the house to keep the creepers away.
But the creepers got mad.
They united and stormed their castle.
Steve and the other players didn't survive the 10th night in Minecraft.
Chapter 4
Steve is on day 25 of Minecraft.
Steve and his friends discovered some bricks covered with vines
Steve started to mine it with his pickaxe, but he soon realized it was being mined faster than normal.
It broke and a wierd fish-type thing popped out! It was a silverfish!
Steve kills it with his sword and he and his friends journey into a Stronghold!
Steve had some enderpearls and his friends had blaze powder, so they made some Eyes of Ender.
After exploring and killing zombies, they saw what they had been dreaming of!
An End portal!
After placing the ender eyes in the akward blocks, a black portal appeared above a pool of lava.
Then, they jumped in. But never go unprepared......
They didn't survive the 25th day...
Chapter 5
After days of mining everywhere...
Finding diamonds high and low (well maybe low because diamonds aren't found very high in Minecraft)...
They all upgraded their armor and looked very menacing
Then the three of them said, "We're ready."
They went to their stronghold they had marked from before and jumped into the End portal without fear.
There it was. The Enderdragon!
The dragon was obviously ready for this and charged!
After continuous dodging and slashing,
They noticed the dragon's health hadn't changed a bit!
Then they noticed a hypnotizing white beam coming from a tall structure aimed at the dragon.
These must have been healing it.
What if we shot them? Steve thought...
To be continued...
Chapter 6
The big orbs that were healing the dragon were on top of tall, obsidian pillars.
There's no way they would be able to shoot them!
But they tried anyways.
They kept shooting over and over again, but the arrows would either go to the left or right of the orb, or fall just short of it!
Then one of Steve's friends had an idea.
"I'm going to mine some End stone!" he said.
What would that do? Steve thought.
"Here, jump and place some of this, you'll get a better shot at the orb," Steve's friend said, holding out the End stone.
Well, Steve sure felt taller.
And indeed it worked. The first orb blew up.
Now to get the rest.
Chapter 7
After shooting some orbs, the endermen came after them!
There were so many they couldn't focus on the dragon...
They needed something so that they wouldn't be attacked.
Steve looked straight into the eyes of an enderman and it attacked him!
They needed some sort of mask... but what?
Steve's helmet wasn't big enough to pull over his head.
They would need somthing else...
To be continued
Chapter 8
Steve and his friends found out that pumpkins work as masks...
When they were farming, Steve put a pumpkin on his head for fun, and then an enderman appeared!
He looked at the enderman for 10 minutes, and he was so scared he wanted to bite his fingernails, but he was scared that it might provoke the enderman.
The enderman was not attacking, so they decided to go fight the enderdragon again.
The fight was full of pressure and suspense, but eventually, the dragon was half dead, and there were some orbs remaining.
They kept fighting and fighting, and they shot all the orbs!
Then, as the enderdragon was charging at Steve, he shot an arrow right into the enderdragon's eye!
The enderdragon started to float up, and falling apart with a strange glow.
Then, BOOM! The enderdragon exploded and tons of experience fell to the ground, as well as a portal. They stepped into it, a mysterious conversation was waiting for them, sending a message, as well as some credits.
They thought it was time to leave the private server into the glory of others!

Hiring teens to work for a business – don't take shortcuts
by AccountingWEB on
printer friendly
By Ken Berry
If your business clients need extra help, you might suggest they hire their teenage children to pitch in after school or on weekends. This strategy may result in tax savings and other potential benefits if the children are treated as official employees. However, it's important to note that employers must observe all the usual formalities involved in compensating employees.
Let's review some basics:
1) When a business owner hires a child as an employee, the wages paid are taxed to the child at his or her low tax rate. Assuming the higher-bracket parent reduces his or her compensation accordingly, the family can save income tax overall. In addition, there are no kiddie tax complications because earned income from employment is exempt from the kiddie tax.
2) The wages paid by the owner to the child are fully deductible by the business. As an employee, the child also may be eligible for certain benefits, including health insurance coverage and participation in retirement plans and other employer-sponsored programs.
3) If a child under age eighteen is employed by a parent who runs an unincorporated business, the child's wages are exempt from Federal Insurance Contributions Act (FICA) tax. This exemption also applies toFederal Unemployment Tax Act (FUTA) tax for children up to age twenty-one. These employment tax breaks may sweeten the deal for self-employed individuals or partners in a business.
In a recent case, Luis Bulas failed to follow through on certain requirements (TC Memo 2011-201). Bulas has a master's degree in accounting, and he worked for the IRS for seven years as a tax technician, revenue agent, appeals auditor, and appeals officer. In 1985, he started his own accounting practice, preparing approximately 180-220 tax returns per year.
Bulas has two daughters, ages twenty and seventeen. His older daughter was enrolled as a full-time student at Rutgers University, and the younger daughter was in high school. Both daughters provided administrative assistance to the accounting practice in 2007. The business didn't issue a Form W-2, Wage and Tax Statement, or a Form 1099-MISC, Miscellaneous Income, to report wages to either daughter. Instead, Bulas claimed that he paid his daughters' credit card bills, although he didn't provide any evidence to substantiate those payments. Subsequently, the Tax Court denied the deductions for wages paid by the practice.
Moral of the story: Hiring a child can be beneficial taxwise, but you can't take shortcuts. Advise clients to comply with all the tax requirements. And, if you find yourself in the same position, take your own advice to heart.

Temperatures dropped to 10 degrees. Freezing rain and snow fell, covering roads and yards. Through all of it, one thing was certain: Winter weather had come to Duncan.
In fact, about 0.23 inches of precipitation fell between 10:30 a.m. Thursday and about 9 a.m. Friday. By Friday afternoon, snow drifts ranged from about 2 inches up to 4 inches. And high temperatures leveled out at 25 degrees.
Many government entities were closed Friday, including all Stephens County schools. Duncan High School students were dismissed at 2 p.m. Thursday, buses ran about 2:30 p.m. and all students were dismissed Friday.
"We're just going to take it one day at a time," Duncan Superintendent Sherry Labyer said. "I'm glad we could finish out the day (Thursday). We did run buses about an hour early."
Labyer said no determination has been made on whether Duncan students will return to school Monday. Instead, she said the school district will be watching the weather.
"We're going to error on the side of student safety," Labyer said. "We don't know what Monday will hold."
The City of Duncan closed down about an hour early Thursday, with employees leaving about 4:30 p.m. All city offices, including the payment center, were closed Friday because of the weather.
Stephens County had a similar reaction to the weather. The Stephens County Courthouse was closed Friday. The Oklahoma Corporation Commission also closed Friday because of the weather.
Although the City of Duncan was closed, several city employees worked Friday, including Duncan firefighters, police officers and street employees. Street employees worked to spread sand over various roadways throughout the city. Duncan firefighters and police officers responded to at least one structure fire and several vehicle accidents.
According to the Weather Channel website, temperatures will stays at or below freezing until Tuesday, when the high will be at 35 degrees. No precipitation is predicted for the coming week, with the exception of 30 percent chance on Saturday.

Now that there's rough mechanical parity among automakers, design and styling have become prime considerations in buying decisions.
So it's no surprise Audi's sales have taken off. Even back in the 1980s — when Audi was still kind of a novelty brand in the States — its interior and exterior styling both were penned to a different aesthetic.
It's said the aerodynamic features and gorgeous exterior lines of the Audi 5000 inspired Ford designers working on the first-generation Taurus that turned out to be so popular.
That was then; this is today, when I've been driving one of Audi's hottest-selling models, the Q5 2.0T midsize crossover SUV.
The styling is elegant, with tasteful use of decorative LED lights highlighting the head- and taillights. Interior design of the Premium Plus trimmed test unit was understated and classy, though (sadly) without the stylistic exclamation points of some earlier Audi cabins.
My particular Q5 test model had a two-tone gray interior punctuated with lots of brushed aluminum trim.
Audi's oversize grille, which seems extreme on the company's sedans, fits the Q5's chunkier face better. The Audi has a bulked-up look compared with similar-size crossovers such as Toyota's familiar RAV4.
Envision the Q5 as covering the same footprint as a RAV4 but 3.5 inches wider and more than 700 pounds heavier.
To haul that weight, engineers chose VW-Audi's popular and ubiquitous 2-liter turbo four, built at a plant in Hungary and tuned specially for the Q5, driven through an eight-speed automatic transmission. It's the base, and I think preferable, Q5 powertrain. Audi's 3.2-liter V-6 with six-speed automatic is optional, though is seems almost a vestigial accommodation for luxury buyers with the dated notion that bigger engines are always better.
Coupled to the eight-speed, the turbocharged engine's abundant torque was perfect for getting the Q5 under way and keeping speeds safe and entertaining. The four works hard, however, and during my test driving made its presence known.
A touch of turbo lag — less than a second in duration and pretty much inconsequential — was evident accelerating the Q5 from an idle. Mileage on premium gasoline is estimated at 20 city, 27 highway, achievable only with thoughtful and careful driving, a penance in this lively crossover.
My own Q5 mileage in suburban driving averaged about 22, but really spirited trips were in the mid-teens.
I'd characterize the Q5 as eager and fun to drive, and also kind of heavy and secure-feeling. I wanted the steering to be quicker but loved the comfortable, in-touch Euro ride.
After a couple of days in the Q5 and plenty of practice, I learned to use the Multi Media Interface system, which includes navigation control.
To an engineer, MMI might be a technical triumph, with a crisp, clear screen and an orderly precision to every action. However, using it while driving was a distraction, and needlessly so. As simple an operation as changing radio stations was a chore.
The superb backing camera, which displays on the same dashboard screen when the Audi is shifted into reverse, was sharp and readable in both sunlight and evening shadows. My test unit also had optional sensors warning when I came too close to objects outside the car.
Front occupants were blessed with ample leg and hip room, and rear passengers could customize the backrest angle. The leather seats were quite well padded, and the cabin assembly well crafted. However, rear passenger foot room was slightly compromised by a bulkhead required by the all-wheel-drive transfer case.
My Q5 test unit, priced at $46,450, included an optional panoramic sunroof as part of the $4,300 Premium Plus package. The daylight enhanced the cabin ambiance, but the mesh sunscreen seemed inadequate for sunny summer days in Austin.
Another inadequacy: The Q5's spare tire comes uninflated. If the driver needs to change a flat, he or she inflates the tire roadside with the small electric pump provided. Audi probably assumes the driver will call the company's roadside assistance service, but that may not be timely in rural areas when you have children and melting ice cream in the Q5, darkness is setting in and the coyotes are howling.
Pete Szilagyi has written about cars for the Statesman since 1981. See more pictures of the Audi Q5 at Twitter.com/DriveWithPete.
According to Pete ...
$36,500 to about $63,000
Target audience: Luxury buyers for whom Mercedes is too snooty and BMW too performance-driven, well-to-do grandparents trading for a crossover so the kids can ride along, longtime VW owners moving up a few rungs
Highs: Comfort, turbo four-cylinder, best-of-breed backing camera, sophisticated all-wheel-drive system, sound insulation, driving dynamics, quality feel and look
Lows: Distracting and needlessly complex media interface, questionable sunroof shading, inadequate spare tire, difficult-to-access iPod connector
Bottom line: Queues are forming for good reason.
EPA rating for greenhouse gas emissions: 5 (10 is best)

By A.B. Stoddard - 01/08/14 06:37 PM EST
OPINION l President Obama has plunged in popularity in the 14 months since he stunned Republicans by getting reelected with 51 percent of the vote, causing even his own supporters to question whether he can salvage his presidency. Republicans have spent the same months, after conceding the party must expand and change to win back the White House, plunging their collective head into the sand.
At this point the GOP, buoyed by the failings of ObamaCare, will likely hold the House and possibly win the Senate. But in reality the party is more divided than it was after the 2012 elections. It is united only around opposition to the Affordable Care Act and divided over how to replace the healthcare law; the lessons of the government shutdown; drone policy; gay marriage; spending cuts; wars in Iraq and Afghanistan; anti-terrorism surveillance policy; immigration reform; and now the minimum wage and the extension of unemployment insurance.
It wasn't helped by Mitt Romney talking about the 47 percent of America that he didn't have to "worry" about because they were so hardened by government dependence. But the GOP nominee's losses among Asian Americans, African-Americans, Latinos and the young were decisive, and the shrinking white electorate once again lost an expected 2 percentage points. Meanwhile, Obama was able to replace dispirited members of his 2008 coalition with new young, minority votes. Not only would turnout strategies have to change, Republicans admitted, but so would some rhetoric and policies.
Reince Priebus, chairman of the Republican National Committee, released a bold prescription for the party that recommended not only pushing for immigration reform but tailoring the party's message to immigrants, minorities and women. Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), who stepped up to lead bravely on the issue, took so much heat from the editorial board of the National Review and Tea Party leaders that he walked away from the fight.
Yet Rubio, a likely presidential contender, has joined several other Republicans in attempting to break through the anti-everything narrative, proposing or supporting some version of safety net policies to contrast the Democrats' campaign narrative of a Republican war on the poor.
Obama and his party hope GOP policies — from cutting food stamps to ending unemployment benefits to opposing an increase in the minimum wage — can hold up as a campaign platform against the woes of ObamaCare this fall. It doesn't look promising for Democrats this year, when an older, whiter midterm electorate is likely to vote Republican. But in a presidential election year, a broader group of voters, many focused on safety net issues, will turn out at the polls, and it's those minds Republicans have to change. Conservatives Michael Gerson and Pete Wehner, who worked for former President George W. Bush, argue in National Affairs magazine that Republicans must convince voters they can build a better government. They write that "many conservatives have failed to see the extent to which equal opportunity itself, a central premise of our national self-understanding, is becoming harder to achieve," and that while Americans are disillusioned with government, "there is no evidence that Americans have turned against the aims of modern government."
To win again, the GOP must change. For Republicans, as it was for the president, 2013 was a lost year.

Rebecca Stevenson's Surrealist Macabre Sculptures
Rebecca Stevenson's figurative sculptures are both eerie and beautiful. Using primarily polyresin and wax, her concept usually begins with a human or animal figure cast in a subdued monochromatic color that then appears to blossom or decay with varieties of multi-colored surreal compounds. These blossoms almost consume the figures, resulting in provocative, surreal sculptures. Her work embodies the process of creation and destruction, revealing the beauty that emerges from this organic cycle. Some of it reminds me of walking around farm pastures when I was younger, and discovering various animal skulls that the grass had begun to climb through. If her work is disturbing, it is only because it doesn't try to mask the macabre beauty of the growth/decay process. "My work is concerned with the visceral and the sensual. It draws upon anatomical drawing and botanical illustration, but occupies a liminal territory between scientific enquiry and the subjective, imaginary body."
"Oh my God, so excited for the NY Boylesque Festival!" A weird "smiley frown" clouded my face as I "liked" another excited Facebook post by a former student. All morning, friends, fellow performers, and past participants of my Boylesque 101 Class series had been excitedly tweeting and âsocial media-ingâ about the 2014 NYC Boylesque Festival.&

), Goldman Sachs (GS
), and Morgan Stanley (MWD
) shares because they've become compelling value plays," says Bob Olstein of Olstein Financial Alert Fund, who looks way behind the numbers. He warned of trouble at Lucent in 1999, when the stock was trading at 60. With regard to the three brokers, he says they have "tremendous earning power." He adds that they have assets, too, whose value has been enhanced by layoffs and cost-cutting--and steady income from interest, advisory, and management fees. Since January, Merrill has tumbled from 60 to 42, trading at 12 times estimated 2002 earnings of $3.50 a share. Goldman has fallen from 98 to 79, or 16.6 times $4.75. And Morgan has dived from 60 to 48, or 16 times $3. The average price-earnings ratio for the Standard & Poor's 500-stock index is 25. Olstein figures that in 2003--with the recovery in gear--Merrill will earn $4.50 a share, Goldman $6, and Morgan $4.25. "You've got to buy in the eye of the hurricane to get these valuable franchises at bargain prices." He figures the probes will cost $1 billion to $2 billion industrywide: "We've adjusted for this in our valuations," says Olstein.
Jim Mitchell of Putnam Lovell Securities has upgraded Merrill and Morgan Stanley from "hold" to "buy," and Reilly Tierney of Fox-Pitt Kelton has upped Goldman to "attractive." By Gene G. Marcial

Apple's Control Center used to bypass iOS 7 passcode lock [u]
A security hole in iOS 7 has been reported in which Apple's Control Center, along with some quick finger work, can be used to bypass a passcode protected lock screen on an iPhone or iPad running iOS 7, grating access to Mail, Photos and Twitter, and more.The exploit, discovered by Jose Rodriguez on Thursday, take a bit of finesse to get right, though we have independently verified that it works. It is somewhat reminiscent of a lock screen bug in iOS 6.1 that allowed access to Contacts, Photos and Voicemail by using a complex string of commands including the emergency call feature.
As reported by Fortune, the recently discovered vulnerability involves Control Center, a new feature in iOS 7 that gives users quick access to commonly used apps and commands.
First, a nefarious user must invoke Control Center by swiping up from the bottom of a locked iPhone or iPad's lock screen. From there, the Clock app can be opened even without a passcode. Holding down the power button will bring up the shut-off pane. This next part is tricky, though is manageable with practice. Instead of swiping to power down the device, cancel is selected, followed quickly by one short and one long press of the home button. The device enters the iOS 7 multi-tasking view and from there Mail, Photos and Twitter can be accessed.
The exploit can be defeated by simply disabling Control Center in the lock screen, though this somewhat hampers the new iOS 7 capability. It should also be noted that access is only granted to app open prior to locking the device, and the titles affected by the workaround are limited. For example, Safari cannot be opened from the multi-tasking view.
We tested the bug on both the iPhone 5 and third-generation iPad, and while it took a few tries, the process does work.
Apple will most likely patch the issue in an upcoming software update.
Update: Apple has confirmed to AllThingsD that a fix is in the works and will be included in a future update. No estimated release date was given.

Bad ideas can't hide in print and good ideas deserve to shine. That's why de Volkskrant proudly presents the second edition of the Creative Press Challenge. A competition about the power of ideas. The winner gets a fullpage interview in de Volkskrant and the winning entry will be produced, published and sent off to Cannes.
The Creative Press Challenge is all about the individual power of ideas. That's why we challenge creatives to strip an integrated campaign down to a single print ad, where the true strength of its idea unfolds. This might sound simple, but it's actually quite hard: The final ad should be more than just a pretty image and a witty line. It must represent the original thought behind the brand's campaign, match the brand's identity and still be original and appealing to its target group.
We only want to do good for a client that wants to do good. The Foundation for Refugee Students helps highly educated refugees in choosing and pursuing a study, and finding a job that will fulfill their personal and professional goals. Click here for more info.
The winning entry will be produced in collaboration with the Volkskrant and other professionals. Next to that, it will be placed in de Volkskrant and even entered into the Cannes Lions Festival, where more success awaits. The brains behind the work will also get an exclusive interview in de Volkskrant, which is easily torn out to show to your friends and make your mom proud.

This message board is post-moderated
This discussion has been closed.
I run audio from my laptop to my hi fi and have generally done this using a cable and recently set up a wi fi connection to stream audio from the laptop through the hi fi wirelessly. The connection works perfectly, but when streaming audio and video, the audio takes about three seconds to get from the computer to the hi fi, which causes the audio and video to be out of sync.
This problem is solved generally for downloaded video files by running the file through software contains a function specifically to delay the video, to bring the audio and video back into sync. However, I cannot see that iPlayer has a function to allow this three-second delay of the video as against the audio, to re-sync the audio and video when streaming TV and using a wifi network to deliver the audio.
This means that although I can generally play audio and video through my wifi network without a problem (watching the video on the laptop screen), I have to reconnect using a wire when I want to watch something on iPlayer.
If this video-delay does not exist on iPlayer, it could presumably be a fairly straightforward feature to add - and the user interface could just include a button to press which would activate the delay if the user wants it.
Could you either point me to this function or else add it to the site?
The connection works perfectly, but when streaming audio and video, the audio takes about three seconds to get from the computer to the hi fi, which causes the audio and video to be out of sync.
This is a reply to this message.
Thanks for the comment and I wish that your diagnosis were true! Unfortunately it can't be eradicated by trying to "speed up" the wifi router...
The signal goes from the computer to the router, then out to the wifi box that connects to the stereo (in my case, it's an Mac Airport Express as I have a Macbook), then through the (analogue) stereo hifi and out to regular hifi speakers.
The audio "delay" problem that this causes is pretty well-known and has been solved for Mac users in a software product called "Airfoil", which is designed to allow Mac users to stream their content wirelessly through Airport Express units from sources other than iTunes. Originally, Airfoil didn't have the three-second audio delay on video file playback and a quick internet search will show up the fact that the "delay" issue came out pretty quickly (who wants to watch out-of-sync video...?). So Airfoil subsequently built in this three-second delay to the audio on video file playback and the two signals become re-synced.
My suggestion was that the BBC could think about doing the same thing for people streaming their service, given that you can't download iPlayer programmes to stand-alone files (which would solve the problem for Mac users through Airfoil) and, in any event, it just seems like a pretty basic feature given how far wireless networking at home has gone now.
As you say, I'm sure they have other things to think about - although my experience of iPlayer is that it's very good (better than every other equivalent service). So, it seems to me that it shouldn't be a big deal to add what, as far as I'm concerned, should be a straightforward and basic feature for wifi users who don't want to drag an audio cable out and across the living room whenever they want to watch something on iPlayer with decent sound...
Thanks again for coming back to me though - and I'm living in hope that this message gets read by someone at the BBC who thinks that it's worth actioning. I know that you're sceptical that that'll happen, though.
This is a reply to this message.
Could I just add a vote for this.
i regular use BBc iplayer and use an audio cable across the living room.
It would be much improved if I could stream the audio without the delay.
Many thanks

Do you really think that your followers aren't already following Scoble? Especially if you are in the Tech industry. Then there's trolling with hard line (US) right wing or religious views.

We wanted to tell you that we have been listening to your feedback, and that we are busy working on improving the teaching system. Big changes will be coming soon. In the meantime, we wanted to tell you about some small changes we've made.
Students now must purchase italki credits in order to use free trials.
Some students were only interested in getting free lessons from teachers. Now students must demonstrate they are willing to pay for classes by first purchasing italki credits.
We hope this will increase the probability that a free trial student will turn into a paying student. Likewise, we hope that you will respond to all requests for lessons (even if it is just to decline them). As always, if you do not wish to offer free trials at all, you can change this in
your personal settings
- - -
The new system we are working on should be able to handle many features that you have requested, like lesson packages. We will let you know as soon as the new system is ready! Please keep on sending us your thoughts on how we can improve the system. You can send us ideas through our
feedback system
. Thank you again for your patience and we'll put up the new system as soon we can.

Oksana Grigorieva denied under oath that she's the source of the leaked Mel Gibson tape, TMZ has learned.
Mel's lawyer, Stephen Kolodny, took Oksana's deposition Friday. Although it was secret, TMZ has learned Oksana was asked squarely if she leaked the tape -- which she was prohibited from doing by the judge in the custody case.
We're told she emphatically denied being the source of the leak.
wasn't this recording made in the privacy of Mel Gibson's home? Does anyone out there want to be held accountable for something said in a rage while in the privacy of your home???? Come on folks, give the man a break!
Who the hell else would release it? She was the only one secretly taping him. If she's lying about this what else is the little skank lying about?
Why is ocotomom wearing sunglasses indoors and is that soon-to-be-former GOP chairman Michael Steele next to her?
@electriczipper: Sure as hell IS hot in our little corner of the world isn't it ? I heard a high of 103 today
People have the right to say any friggin' thing they want in the privacy of their own home. The fact that this little biyatch was recording a private conversation is VERY disturbing.
If the tapes were in her sole possession, she had motive to leak them, and they were leaked, it doesn't take Scooby Doo to solve this mystery........
