ARTISAN 4.5mm Punch Card
I am finding virtually NO information about this machine so as of today I would recommend that you seek out either a knitting machine dealer or Artisan dealer for more information.
Distinctive Knits
Knit Wit Kreations
, and
carry this knitting machine.
With that being said Artisan is a knitting machine that is currently being made and I have found information on five separate models. They are 70-D PLUS, GE63 - 70, the JBL-245, the KH868 and Artisan 260 Bulky Guage.
has two types of knitting machines, from what I gather all are punch card machines BUT you have knitting machines with a separate main bed and ribber and other models with the ribber attached permanently to the main bed. The unusual aspect of these machine is that they have been compared to certain models in both Brother and Silver Reed knitting machines.
Additional options available are yarn color changers, linker, stand, punch card, and card puncher.
Artisan 70-D PLUS
The Artisan 70D mid gauge will accept yarns from sport weight to light-weight worsted, making it perfect for knitting hand yarn. It is a 7mm knitting machine. You can also easily use four ply fingering yarn double stranded by using the plating feeder. This is
a great beginners knitting machine designed to knit Sport Weight and Light Weight yarn.
This models knitting and ribber beds are permanently attached. In addition it has the following features:
- Built-in Intarsia, you don't need a separate intarsia carriage.
-Since this is a double bed knitting machine, you can do both knitting and ribbing. The 70Dplus makes beautiful ribbing, fisherman's ribbing, as well as circular knitting for socks, hats, mittens and more.
The ribber drops down so you can easily knit single bed fabrics with the single bed sinker plate.
-There are 147 needles on each bed. This is enough to make a finished size 60 using DK weight yarn.
-Both carriages knit, slip, tuck and have a Hold position for maximum versatility.
-In addition to slip, tuck and stockinette, the main carriage also does plating.
-The sturdy stand included with the basic machine has a convenient tray for storing all tools and cast-on combs. The tray can be placed either on the left, center, or right position for your convenience.
I have been told this is a "MANUAL" machine and NOT a "Punch Card" so check with your vendor before buying.
This knitting machine is a friendly $700 - $800 new for both beds which makes it an exceptional price for a new main bed and ribber bed even for new knitters.
Artisan GE63 - 70
This is a double bed Mid Gauge (7.0mm) manual patterning machine with 147 needles on each bed, complete with a well-designed, sturdy stand. It is a metal bed machine capable of stockinet, knitweaving and plating. It also does an excellent job of ribbing, fisherman's rib, and circular knitting because of the angle of the beds. It is an excellent knitter as it is extremely easy to learn, very sturdy and reliable, and the carriages are quite easy to push. Plus, it knits DK, handspun, and other hand weight yarn that hand knitters use. An Intarsia carriage and ribber covers are also available for this machine. I have no pricing information on this model yet.
Artisan JBL - 245
This a metal bed Standard Gauge (4.5mm) punchcard machine, complete with detachable ribber, with 200 needles on each bed. It is capable of stockinet, tuck, slip, fairisle, thread lace, knitweaving, and plating. The 24 stitch punchcard mechanism will accept all existing punchcards from Brother, Studio and Toyota machines! It also does ribbing, fisherman's rib, circular knitting, and double jacquard (with the optional color changer). This machine is comparable to the Silver Reed/Studio SK700.
RIBBER: You can also just purchase the ribber for $500 and it fits the Silver Reed knitting machines series SK200's, SK300's, SK500's and the SK840.
PRICE: With ribber and stand these run from $900 - $1,200
Artisan KH868
A standard gauge knitting machine like the KH868 knits finer yarn like 4 and 3 ply fingering weight and sock yarn. The knitting looks somewhat like commercially produced knitting. You can knit stockinette stitch and ribbed stitches when you include the ribber. However, this knitting machine can also use a Punch Card to create knitting stitch patterns automatically. Place a punch card in the machine and activate it. Now you can automatically knit Thread lace, Tuck, Slip, Weaving, Fair-isle and Single Motif Isolation and more stitches.
There is a basic KH868 Knitting Machine Pattern card set included or you can make your own with an optional puncher and blank cards. Punch cards for this machine are 24 stitch-wide pattern repeats. Most 24-stitch punch cards available from other brands of knitting machines and are interchangeable with this machine.
The standard gauge machine is a 4.5 mm needle pitch knitting machine. This means there are 4.5 mm between the needles. There are 200 needles on the bed which will knit most sizes of garments. This is a very versatile knitting machine.
It accepts any BROTHER attachments
for the KH868 knitting machine.
The standard gauge KR 850 ribber is included and is also 4.5 mm pitch, with 200 needles for Rib Knitting and Double Bed Fairisle patterns. If you are not using the standard gauge ribbing attachment, it drops down out of the way or it can be detached and stored.
Price is about $1,800 new and looks similar to the picture at the top of the page.
260 Bulky Punch Card
This bulky knitting machine knits fabric that looks just like hand-knitting, only better and faster using heavier double knitting (DK), worsted and bulky yarn. You can knit stockinet stitch and ribbed stitches when you include the ribber. However, this bulky knitting machine can also use a Punch Card to create knitting stitch patterns automatically. Place a punch card in the machine and activate it. Now you can automatically knit Thread Lace, Tuck, Slip, Weaving, Fairisle and Single Motif Isolation and more stitches.
There is a basic Bulky Knitting Machine Pattern card set included or you can make your own with an optional puncher and blank cards. Bulky punch cards for this machine are 24 stitch-wide pattern repeats. 24-stitch punch cards are available from other brands of knitting machines and are interchangeable with this machine.
The bulky gauge machine is a 9 mm needle pitch knitting machine. This means there are 9 mm between the needles which is wide enough to accept double knitting weight up to bulky weight yarn. Thus the name bulky.
The bulky ribber is included and is also 9 mm pitch, with 110 needles for Rib Knitting and Double Bed Fairisle patterns. Included is a D Slider used to make dropped-stitch designs. If you are not using the bulky ribbing attachment, it drops down out of the way or it can be detached and stored.
All Brother Bulky knitting machine accessories work with this knitting machine.
New, with ribber, these run around $1,800 but have seen pricing as high as $2,300 in 2013.

La Jolla inspires murder mystery, smartphone book for local authors
By Ashley Mackin
Two new books, written by two La Jolla authors, were stirred by the Village of La Jolla, though granted, they have nothing else in common.
One is a thrilling murder mystery set in town, with nods to the Jewel throughout. The other is a salute to the technological and intellectual hub that is La Jolla.
'Yesterday's Echo' by Matt Coyle
Coyle's story about a straight-laced police officer suspected of his wife's murder is one of redemption. Having been forced to leave the police force, Coyle's Rick Cahill, moves to La Jolla for a quieter, calmer life. He soon meets a television reporter, herself accused of murder. In trying to help her, Cahill loses control of his own life.
"The lead character tries to gain redemption by trying to help someone else," Coyle said. The book explores what happens if redemption is not attainable. "Everyone has done something in their past they wish they could change. I know I have," he said.
Setting the book in La Jolla (and including the steakhouse where Cahill works, which is based on Chuck's Steakhouse, formerly on Prospect Street) was a deliberate choice for Coyle, a La Jolla High School graduate.
"People think of La Jolla as the "Jewel by the Sea,' a paradise in some ways ... but just because it looks perfect outside doesn't mean it's perfect inside," he said.
Though it was only published earlier this month, Coyle said he has already received feedback on the book from people who used to live in La Jolla. He said they've told him, "it was nice for them to go down some old streets they remember (in the story). If you are a La Jolla fan, there's definitely a lot of La Jolla in it."
Further, the cover image is an enhanced photo of La Jolla Cove that Coyle took because it was the perfect setting for the mood of the book.
Coyle said his inspiration was mystery writer Raymond Chandler, who spent the last few years of his life in La Jolla and set his last book here, though Chandler called the town "Esmeralda."
"It's nice to be able to set my first book in the town where he wrote his last," Coyle said, respectfully. "La Jolla is known around the world as a vacation destination of great beauty and great wealth, so it's a great place to set a murder."
Coyle will talk about his book at Warwick's in July.
'Mobo Brain' by Jenz Johnson
Honoring the technological and intellectual community of La Jolla, author Johnson wrote his book about how to turn your smartphone or tablet into a "second, portable brain," and is distributing it to local stores in the coming weeks.
"La Jolla coffee shops have always been a great source of conversation and ideas flowing back and forth," Johnson said. "The whole community is such that it encourages people to think about things and do things in a new way."
Citing multiple over-coffee conversations that needed quick facts, Johnson noted how frequently people go to their phones or tablets to look up information. His book outlines how to better utilize smartphones and tablets to store and keep information on hand so it is readily available for conversation.

Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
From the setting, in a scenic forest, to the teachers, this school is a wonderful place for my son to learn. Parents are involved in volunteering for all sorts of projects. There are wonderful field trips. The class size is small and one on one attention is fantastic for my son. My son has blossomed since he started there in preschool.
CCS has been so wonderful for our family. We have two children that have been going for four years and I know our kids have benefited greatly from being a part of it. My oldest had struggled with reading, for years and was behind her class continually. When we enrolled her here we saw immediate improvements academically, I think partly because of the great teachers and encouragement and support. And also the small classrooms help a lot. But mainly I think because they didn't segregate her and make her feel dumb, but loved her and validated her where she was at, which really helped her to start enjoying reading, and learning overall. My son has had a hard time with self control, and his attention span, and energy level. (Adhd I'm sure people would say) The teachers continually say he has the hardest time of all the kids in these areas, but they love him and are able to give him the extra time and attention that he needs because of the small classroom sizes. I'm sure that he would be doing very poorly in a public school, with larger classes and all. This school is great for everyone seeking a Christ centered education that excells in individual needs of each child.
My school is amazing. We serve kids and come alongside families to prepare our students to be leaders and world-impacters. Small class size, committed teachers, diverse student population and a sense of mission create a unique and fertile environment for learning. While I am a teacher at the school, both my girls attend here as well. I love the fact that they can reach their potential here.
CCS has been such a blessing for our boys. Every aspect of this school is quality!
I love, love, love this school! Terrific staff, kids and parents. It is like having a second family.
Our son had a rough beginning in life and we honestly didn't know how he would do in school. We knew he needed a smaller class size, structure, and discipline. What he has accomplished at Cornerstone has been amazing. He loves school and is excited to learn. All the staff are loving and committed to the individual success of every student. They are fun but firm. And the campus? What kid wouldn't want to go to school at a lakeside Bible camp complete with a pool and miniature golf! Nothing else comes close to what Cornerstone offers families.
Cornerstone Christian School is a great school with wonderful teachers, who truly love their students. I love the small class sizes, which enables each student to receive more attention from their teacher. I highly recommend Cornerstone Christian School.
This school has a great feel of community. From the administrator all the way to the support staff. The teachers are very passionate about what they do. Nurturing every child from the inside out is very evident when you spend any time in the classroom. Having small classes is important too. The students get more time with the teacher for help on work or even to talk about whatever is on their mind. Our bible based foundation is very important too. Learning about God on a daily basis helps the kids understand how they fit into the great big world they live in. We have students graduating out of 8th grade going into honors classes in high school. Our tests scores are some of the best in the country. Come check us out. We are on the campus of Black Lake Bible Camp. This is our new home and we have a great partnership with them.
We LOVE Cornerstone! My middle school boy is not just surviving middle school, he is truly thriving! We are so impressed with the teaching staff, the curriculum, and the spiritual foundation he is getting. Thank you CCS!
Our daughter has learned to hide God's word in her heart. She is growing in her love for the Lord as she grows in her love for learning. We are so grateful for CCS!
Five fabulous kids. Nine precious childhood years. One wonderful school! Millions of memories: Parents in prayer, Pajamarama, talent shows, pep rallies, chapel, pumpkin patch, Christmas pageant, VFW essay awards, field day, basketball, service projects, pizza Friday, sock drive, Operation Christmas Child, spelling bee, math olympics, Washington DC, science fair, Ecola Bible School, passport, school-day memories! Small class sizes. Dear life-long friends. Stellar, big-hearted staff. The sweetest principal ever! Three cheers and five stars for our favorite school Cornerstone!!!
Finding Cornerstone Christian School was a Blessing for my kids! The Principal, Board and Teachers are all fantastic! My kids are very happy at this school as am I knowing that they are getting a solid christian education.
I have 2 children at Cornerstone. I have been a parent at CCS for almost 9 years now. It has been a wonderful experience for my kids! The teachers and staff are so dedicated to high academics, but even more dedicated to brnging our kids up in the ways of the Lord. It has been the best beginning I could have ever given them. They are self-confident, solid kids that will go into high school knowing who they are and what they believe.
CCS is the perfect compliment to our family. As Christian parents we wanted a school that mirrored our beliefs and we've found it at Cornerstone.

Zanzibar's romantic unspoilt island paradise looks like it has been transported from the backdrop of a Hollywood love story.
So it's fitting that the sun-kissed East African archipelago in the Indian Ocean is home to one of the biggest movie-based celebrations in the continent's festival and events calendar.
Details have just been released about the 16th edition of the Zanzibar International Film Festival (ZIFF) which runs from June 29-July 7.
Domestic film makers and producers will use this opportunity to showcase their products, centred around the hub of Stone Town.
The festival's official competition has four main categories, including feature and short films, documentaries or short movies, East African films and short or animation motion pictures.
This year's theme is Global Images Meet in Zanzibar.
But if film isn't your bag, then Zanzibar's legendary beaches offer world-class watersports.
These include scuba diving, snorkelling, deep sea fishing, kayaking, water-skiing and sailing on traditional local dhows.
Its rich variety of fine restaurants specialising in fish are also a must.

Since its inception in 1992, Curves has been specifically designed with women in mind. Founders Gary and Diane Heavin set out to create a supportive, encouraging atmosphere in which women could get in shape without feeling self-conscious. Their unofficial motto, "no makeup, no men, no mirrors," is now repeated at nearly 10,000 locations in more than 85 countries, helping women of all ages and fitness levels reach their health goals. To cater to the all-female client base, their equipment and specialized workouts are built to enhance the feminine physique.
Their classic 30-minute workout is designed to work the entire body. As ladies move from station to station, they complete a circuit-style workout that intersperses weight training with cardio sessions designed to maintain heart rate. Most of the 13 machines are double positive, which means they work two opposing muscle groups with a single movement—simultaneously toning the abs and back, or the chest and vestigial tail. Each machine also supports the CurvesSmart system, which tracks each patron's individual progress. Before getting started, clients receive a card with their personal fitness information embedded within. When the card is inserted into a machine, a green light lets them know that they're working at the correct intensity level. As muscles get stronger, the workouts get tougher, and at the end of each session, a progress report lists details on muscle strength and the number of calories burned.
Darla Johnson is a hair-removal expert. Since she began smoothing skin with laser technology in 1998, she has performed more than 6,000 treatments. And that number is only going up?the certified laser technician and award-winning entrepreneur continues to share her expertise at SLIC. Using Cynosure?s Elite Aesthetic Workstation, Darla targets and destroys follicles with gentle pulses of laser light, a process that greatly reduces future hair growth. The system has proven successful on all areas of the body, skin types, and kinds of hair, including the fake mustaches retired private eyes refuse to take off.
Though laser hair removal is the specialty at SLIC, it's not the only skincare service available from Darla's team. Her colleague Carolyn Mitchell specializes in cosmetic services, helping erase patients' fine lines and wrinkles with precise injections, exfoliating microdermabrasions, and complexion-reviving peels.
For the specialists at Enlighten Laser, lasers are not simply a beauty tool, but a powerful ally in the fight against some of the skin's most prevalent problems. At each of their locations, the staff calls on many forms of this noninvasive technology?from hair and spider-vein removal to cellulite reduction and skin tightening?to tone, sculpt, and brighten clients' bodies, bringing out their natural beauty.
The clinics also possess a knack for traditional skin care. Their on-site aestheticians know that every client's skin is unique, much like every snowflake's 12-digit identification number. They demonstrate this philosophy by customizing each treatment to suit the client's skin type, skin tone, and beauty goals. Before administering any of their facials, body-slimming laser services, or IPL acne clearance treatments, the staff consults with clients about their history and answers any questions.
The Béo Spa team strives to provide guests with the best in aesthetic, hair, and fitness services, helping clients feel healthy in their skin no matter what the approach. The aesthetic team enhances faces with skin-clearing facials or makeup applications, or else soothes shoulders with back massages. Stylists offer haircuts, coloring treatments, and swift waxing sessions. Rounding out the spa team, fitness instructors lead yoga classes that help guests improve their flexibility and balance.
At Enlighten Laser, Aimee Avery beautifies skin and slims bodies with an array of FDA-approved techniques including laser hair removal, photofacials, and fat-reduction treatments. Visits commence with a complimentary consultation. Amid the clinic's calming, grey surfaces, aestheticians discuss treatment options and match clients up with restorative cosmetics. Custom shades of Jane Iredale mineral makeup are designed to reduce redness and improve skin health using all-natural minerals scraped from the rosy cheeks of the Sphinx.
An upscale walk-in tanning salon, Palm Beach Mega Tan brightens skin tones washed out by winter with 10 rigorously maintained tanning beds and a brand new Mystic HD spray-tan booth. The Mystic HD (heating and drying) spray-tan system (a $19.95 value/session) customizes colour levels based on clients' hue desires. The booth heats skin to maximize product absorption and the sense of being hugged by a freshly baked cookie before an airbrush sweeps side to side during four applications. MagneTan technology ensures even bronzing, and a continual current of warm air keeps the body dry and reduces the risk of streaking and the need to towel off afterward. The paraben-free, aloe-based mists infuse epidermises with DHA that reacts with proteins on the skin to instantly create a golden-brown colour while nourishing skin with ingredients such as green-tea extract. Results from each session last about four to five days, or roughly enough time to crash eight wedding conventions.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
A kitchen witch, sometimes called a cottage witch[1] or a "Scandinavian" kitchen witch doll, is a poppet or homemade doll resembling a stereotypical witch or crone displayed in residential kitchens as a means to provide good luck[2] and ward off bad spirits.[3]
There is some debate over the exact country in which the kitchen witch originated, some claiming Norway and others Germany,[4] but consensus points to it stemming from older European customs.
The poppet is supposed to depict a "good"[5] witch who inspires productivity and safety in a kitchen, but also counteracts any ill-will directed to the home.[6] It is considered good luck to give a kitchen witch to a friend or family member. So that those unfamiliar with the kitchen witch can understand its meaning, sometimes a note will be hung around the witch's neck[7] stating something similar to:
"The Legendary Secret of Goof-Proof Cooking: The Famous Kitchen Witch
For centuries, Norwegians have hung this good witch in their kitchen. They believe she has the power to keep roasts from burning, pots from boiling over, and sauces from spilling."
In England
Although largely unknown in modern England, the Kitchen Witch may have been known in England in Tudor times. The will of a John Crudgington, of Newton, Worfield, Shropshire, dated 1599, includes amongst his household possessions "one witche in the kytchyn".[8]

Pros and cons of a mature Bitcoin economy
Bitcoin, the digital cryptocurrency designed to enable anonymous peer-to-peer financial exchanges without the involvement of third parties, is having serious teething problems. However, most such problems are associated with bitcoin storage or conversion, and should settle down as the currency is more widely accepted. Assuming this happens, let's look at the strengths and weaknesses of a mature Bitcoin currency in a modern economy. Read More

PPlanter public urinal processes pee using plants
If you live in a big city, then there are doubtless alleyways or alcoves you know of that always smell like pee. While it might help to install public urinals in these places, doing so involves a lot of work and expense. Porta Potties are one alternative, although Oakland, California-based Hyphae Design Laboratory has developed a more eco-friendly solution known as the PPlanter. It's a self-contained modular system, that uses bamboo to process the pee. Read More

FSU DB Jalen Ramsey's role is that of a villain for the Seminoles and he likes it that way.
The sophomore now finds his home at the Star position – a hybrid role combining the responsibilities of a linebacker and a defensive back – and has enjoyed the transition, utilizing the versatility of the position with his unique skill set.
Needing only a half a tackle for a loss (9.5 TFL), Ramsey – whose 25 starts tops the defense – can become the only player in FSU history to record double-digit tackles for loss and passes defended (11 PD).
"It's probably the most exciting job on the field – I think it is," Ramsey said. "I like to play with the quarterbacks. I like to play with the receivers too. They think they know when I'm blitzing sometimes and they think they know when I'm covering. I like to mess with them. I add a little flavor to it sometimes, but we're taught to disguise."
Ramsey is not shy on the football field, talking trash, backing it up and striking fear in the opposition. He's a...Read more
The highly-anticipated matchup between FSU WR Rashad Greene and UF CB Vernon Hargreaves is being overplayed to a certain extent.
Sure, Greene and Hargreaves will line up across each other plenty Saturday and the matchup will be entertaining to watch. But the Gators are not going to have their sophomore shadow FSU's all-time leading receiver for the entirety of the contest.
"They are going to be matched up on each other at times. There will be times where he won't be," Gators defensive coordinator D.J. Durkin said. "It won't be one of those deals where he's with him the whole game."
Hargreaves is UF's best cover corner and is capable of slowing down a receiver of Greene's caliber.
"He covers very well," Greene said. "I wouldn't say he's the most physical guy, but he's showing a lot of confidence compared to last year."
Although Greene – who leads FSU with 83 catches for 1,148 yards and five touchdowns – is clearly Jameis Winston's favorite target, the Gators do not want to compromise...Read more
Anything can happen during a rivalry game, a sentiment FSU and UF players have echoed leading up to Saturday's game.
But both of these teams have distinct identities – for better or for worse – and digging into some numbers can shed light on certain matchups and who holds the advantage in various areas.
In the Red Zone
Offensively, both teams produce consistently when in the red zone.
The Gators have converted on 36 of their 39 trips inside the 20-yard line, a conversion rate of 92.3%, ranking 6th nationally in that category, with 23 of those trips have ended in a touchdown.
The Seminoles aren't far behind in that regard. Tied for 9th nationally, FSU's offense has converted 42 of its 46 trips inside the red zone – a 91.3% conversion percentage – with 29 of those ending in a touchdown.
However, unlike the Gators, the Seminoles happen to be ranked top-10 in red zone defense too, suffocating the opposition in limited space. FSU has only allowed scores on 29 of 41 trips inside the...Read more
FSU has received inquiries from representatives in the Atlanta area who are interested in bringing the Seminoles to the city for a future regular-season game, possibly against an opponent from the SEC.
A FSU spokesperson confirmed that the school has talked with representatives from the Chick-fil-A Bowl and New Atlanta Stadium about scheduling a neutral-site football game there.
"The preliminary inquiries have included several potential opponents, including some from the SEC," the spokesperson told the Orlando Sentinel.
FSU and Alabama are discussing playing a game in Atlanta to open the 2017 season, according to the Palm Beach Post. The FSU spokesperson told the Sentinel that the school has not had communication with Alabama.
FSU associate athletic director Monk Bonasorte told ESPN in February that FSU was in preliminary talks to play a game in Atlanta in 2018.
The Seminoles currently have just one out-of-conference game scheduled for the 2017 season, and that is at Florida. Alabama...Read more
It will be an uneventful award season for Jameis Winston.
FSU's quarterback was shut out of several prestigious individual awards after finalists were released for the Home Depot College Football Awards Tuesday.
Winston, before winning the 2013 Heisman Trophy, won the Davey O'Brien National Quarterback award last year and was also a finalist for the Maxwell Award, which goes to the nation's top player.
It's too early to tell whether Winston will be a finalist for the Heisman Trophy, but he's out of the picture for the Davey O'Brien and Maxwell awards. Winston's stats have certainly fallen off from last season –he's already thrown 13 interceptions, compared to 10 in 2013 and has a substantially lower passer rating – which explains why he was not invited to the Home Depot College Football Awards in Orlando on Dec. 11.
FSU WR Rashad Greene, who is the school's all-time leader in receptions and receiving yards, was perhaps the more surprising snub. Greene is 10th nationally in receiving...Read more
Josue Matias believes it was just a matter of time until FSU's offensive line returned to its 2013 form.
Whether the Seminoles have Cam Erving or Austin Barron at center is irrelevant, according to Matias.
"I think it's just we finally got the groove back that we had last year, it took halfway through the season," said Matias, FSU's starting left guard. "It's just us molding together. I think as the season went on we've got better."
Matias' theory would be completely valid if four of FSU's linemen didn't have a combined 152 career starts. The question going into the season is who would replace center Bryan Stork. Now that the position has been solidified, the offensive line is finally reaching its potential.
FSU linemen have had their best individual showings of the season in the Seminoles' past two games: Right tackle Bobby Hart had a season-high grade of 89 percent versus Miami, while Matias had a career-best grade of 89 percent last week against Boston College. Right guard Tre'...Read more

Local beauty line Amazing Cosmetics had long been looking to team up with a charity organization. But when they met WNBA Chicago Sky player Ruth Riley and learned about her work with the United Nations Nothing but Nets initiative, they knew they'd found a slam-dunk partnership.
"As mothers, we couldn't believe that a child in Africa dies every 60 seconds from malaria," says Sandy Incardona, who founded the line 12 years ago with Sue Katz and Lisa Thurman. "It tugged at all of our heartstrings."
To help fund the cause, Amazing Cosmetics is teaming up with Riley and the Chicago Sky for the Nothing But Nets Charity Game Day. Taking place at their Libertyville studio, the event aims to raise money for mosquito nets with a carnival-like party full of games, food, makeovers, a silent auction (with Chicago sports tickets and memorabilia) and appearances by Chicago Sky players. Perks such as a game of hoops with Riley, a coaching clinic and mini-makeovers and massages will be available for just $10 — the exact cost of one bed net.
Sunday, Aug. 12, 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. The Studio, 133 E. Cook, Libertyville. Call 847-680-5247 for more information.

Horsing around for a good reason. Local media gets to saddle up to learn about equestrian riding. The International as its called is coming to Omaha April 12th & 13th. More than 100 horse and rider teams will converge on the Century Link Center for jumping competition. Each will have to clear more than a dozen jumps at different heights in 80 seconds.
There will also be a free fan expo with seven breed of horses and background on the sport. The "International" competition has not been held in the US for several years.
Channel Six Meteorologist Jill Gilardi was one of several local media types who got a chance to ride horses using equestrian gear. That includes saddles with no horns so it was an exciting, though controlled ride at Quail Run Equestrian center near Elkhorn.

Shirley Ann Manson (born 26 August 1966) is a Scottish recording artist and actress, best known internationally as the lead vocalist of the alternative rock band Garbage. For much of her international career Manson commuted between her home city of Edinburgh to the United States to record with Garbage but now lives and works in Los Angeles.[1] Manson gained media attention for her forthright style, rebellious attitude, and distinctive contralto voice.[2][3]
Manson's musical career began in her teens when she was approached to perform backing vocals and keyboards for Scottish band Goodbye Mr. Mackenzie. Quickly she developed into a prominent member of the group and developed a formidable stage presence. Manson was approached by her band's record label with the idea of launching her as a solo artist, and recorded an album with her band under the Angelfish name.[3] After seeing Manson in an Angelfish video broadcast only once on MTV's 120 Minutes, Garbage invited Manson to record vocals on a few of their songs; she eventually co-wrote and co-produced an entire album with the band.[4] The resulting self-titled debut, Garbage, was a worldwide hit, and was followed by three studio albums, including the multiple Grammy Award-nominated Version 2.0, and a greatest hits album.[3] Garbage toured worldwide and sold 12 million record sales over ten years.[3]
In 2006, Manson began to write and record solo material after Garbage was put on "hiatus" and in 2008 was cast in her first professional acting role on the second and final season of Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles as series regular Catherine Weaver, a liquid metal T-1001 Terminator.[5] Manson returned to the recording studio in 2010 to write and produce material for a fifth Garbage album.[6]
Manson has been voted at #60 on the VH1s 100 Sexiest Artists list.[7]
Shirley Ann Manson was born in 1966 to John Mitchell and Muriel Flora Manson (née MacKay) in Edinburgh.[3] John Mitchell, a descendant from the fishing community of Northmavine, Shetland, was a university lecturer while Muriel was a big band singer, who had been adopted by a Lothian-based family at an early age (and took on the family name MacDonald).[3] Shirley was named after an aunt who was herself named after Charlotte Brontë's novel Shirley.[8] She was born with two years between both older sister Lindy-Jayne and younger sister Sarah,[9] and was brought up in the Comely Bank and Stockbridge areas of the city.[10] Manson attended Presbyterian church until the age of 12, where her father was also her Sunday School teacher.[11]
Manson's first public performance was in 1970, at age four, with her older sister, in an amateur show held at the local Church Hill Theatre.[3] Enrolled at Flora Stevenson Primary School, Manson received instruction in recorder, clarinet and fiddle, and learned ballet and piano from extramural classes at age seven. Manson was a member of Girlguiding UK throughout this period of her youth as a Brownie and a Guide,[12] Manson attended the City of Edinburgh Music School, the music department of Broughton High.[9] While at Broughton, Manson became an active member of its drama group, performing in amateur dramatic and musical performances such as The American Dream and The Wizard of Oz, while also singing with the Waverley Singers, a local girl choir.[3] Other notable members of the drama group included Hilary MacLean, Rebecca Pigeon and Sara Stewart;[13] while a production of Maurice the Minotaur (in which Manson played a prophet) during the 1981 Edinburgh Festival Fringe was awarded a Fringe First award by The Scotsman newspaper.[3]
While Manson had enjoyed primary school, Manson was bullied while in her first year at secondary school, causing her to suffer from depression and engage in self-injury: she carried a sharp object in the laces of her boots and cut herself when she felt low self-esteem, stress, or anxiety.[14] The bullying stopped when Manson associated herself with a rebel crowd – which resulted in her rebelling herself; playing truant for most of her final year at school,[10] smoking cannabis and sniffing glue, drinking, shoplifting, and on one occasion breaking into Edinburgh Zoo.[15] Manson's first job was volunteer work in a local hospital's cafeteria, then as a breakfast waitress at a local hotel before spending five years as a shop assistant for Miss Selfridge, beginning on the make-up counter.[15] Manson was eventually moved into stockrooms for her attitude to customers. Manson became well known throughout Edinburgh's clubbing scene, and making use of free samples from Miss Selfridge, styled hair for a number of local bands.[16] Manson also briefly modeled clothing for Jackie magazine.[17]
Manson's first musical experiences came from briefly singing with local Edinburgh acts The Wild Indians and performed backing vocals with Autumn 1984.[16] While she was acting in her group, Manson was approached by Goodbye Mr. Mackenzie's lead Martin Metcalfe to join his band. Manson embarked on a relationship with Metcalfe initially, but remained involved after splitting from him and became a prominent member of the group, performing keyboards, backing vocals and becoming involved in the band's business side. Manson's first release with the Mackenzies was a YTS release of "Death of a Salesman" in 1984.[16] The group signed a major label record deal with Capitol Records in 1987, and they released their first album Good Deeds and Dirty Rags, and their only UK Top 40 hit "The Rattler". In 1990, the group's contract was transferred to Parlophone, another EMI label, but after two singles failed to chart Parlophone declined to release the group's second album Hammer and Tongs.[18]
Gary Kurfirst, who managed Talking Heads and Deborah Harry, bought the Mackenzies contract and issued their second album through his own label Radioactive, a subsidiary of MCA. After another single failed to chart, the group were persuaded to leave Radioactive by their management.[18] The Mackenzies continued to write material; Manson was also given the opportunity to record lead vocals on a number of tracks planned for the band's third album.[19] Although MCA had no desire to further their commitments to Goodbye Mr. Mackenzie, the label expressed interest in recording an album with Manson, and after hearing several demos, Kurfirst signed Manson to Radioactive as a solo artist, with the remaining Mackenzies performing as her backing band to circumvent the band's existing deal with MCA.[18] Manson's contract obligated her to deliver at least one album and, at the sole option of Radioactive, up to six additional albums.[4]
Recording under the name Angelfish, and using some of the newly written material and a previously released Mackenzie b-side, Manson and the group recorded the tracks that would make up the Angelfish album in Connecticut with Talking Heads' Chris Frantz and Tina Weymouth.[18] A lead in track "Suffocate Me" was sent to college radio where it was well received. Angelfish and second single "Heartbreak To Hate" followed in 1994.[16] Angelfish toured the United States, Canada, France, Belgium, and co-supported Live on a tour of North America, along with Vic Chestnutt. The music video for "Suffocate Me" was aired on MTV's 120 Minutes. Producer and musician Steve Marker caught the broadcast and thought Manson would be a great singer for his band, Garbage, which also featured producers Duke Erikson and Butch Vig.[20]
Vig invited Manson to Smart Studios to sing on a couple of tracks. After an unsuccessful audition, she returned to Angelfish.[20] At the end of the Live tour, Angelfish imploded and Manson returned to Smart for a second try. She began to work on the then-skeletal origins of some songs and the band invited her to become a full-time member of the band and finish the album.[20] In August 1994, Radioactive gave their permission for Manson to work with Garbage.[4] The band's debut album Garbage was released in August 1995, and went on to sell over 4 million copies, buoyed by a run of high charting singles including "Only Happy When It Rains" and "Stupid Girl." Manson quickly became the public face of the band over the course of a tour that took the band through to the end of 1996.
Manson became the band's chief song-writer for the follow-up record Version 2.0 which equalled the success of the band's debut record after its May 1998 release. During the two year tour in support of the record, Manson modelled for Calvin Klein. The group recorded the theme song to the James Bond movie The World Is Not Enough, and Manson became the third Scotswoman to sing a Bond theme after Lulu and Sheena Easton. In the accompanying video, she portrays an android assassin. For the recording of Garbage's third record throughout 2000, Manson became one of the first high-profile artists to write a blog online, while she decided to improve her guitar playing for the band's next tour. Their third album, beautifulgarbage, featured Manson's most forward and personal lyrics to date. The album did not sell as well as its predecessors, but Garbage performed a successful world tour in support of it. During a concert at the Roskilde Festival, Manson's voice gave in. She afterwards discovered a vocal fold cyst, and was forced to undergo a corrective surgery.[21]
Manson's lyrics became more overtly political for Garbage's fourth record, 2005's Bleed Like Me, which after the surprise success of lead-in single "Why Do You Love Me", posted some of the band's highest chart positions upon release. Garbage began an extended hiatus in October 2005. During this period, in 2007, Garbage reformed to perform a short set at a benefit show to raise cash to pay for Wally Ingram's medical treatment,[22][23] shared song ideas via the internet,[24] recorded new material, and filmed a music video[25] to promote the band's Absolute Garbage greatest hits compilation.[26] Garbage returned to the studio in 2010 to write and record material for a fifth album,[6] entitled Not Your Kind of People and subsequently released in May 2012, thus ending the band's seven-year hiatus from recording.
"I had taken some of my solo music into the record label. They didn't really care for the direction I was moving in and I found it really disheartening. They wanted a pop hit, which I understand in terms of making money. I get that. But what they were going to ask of me was something I wasn't prepared to deliver and I felt kind of trapped. I just stopped writing. I just stopped. It was stifling".
Manson confirmed in March 2006 that she had begun work on a solo album, working with songwriter Paul Buchanan,[28] producer Greg Kurstin,[29] soundtrack composer David Arnold,[30] and Garbage drummer Butch Vig,[31] stating that she had "no timetable" for completing the project.[32] In 2007, Manson called up a group of artists to collaborate in the creation of songs, including Rivers Cuomo of Weezer, who at that point had never co-written material with anyone.[33] Manson presented some of her work to Geffen Records in 2008, who found it "too noir", prompting Manson and Geffen to mutually terminate her contract.[27] Manson later elaborated, "[Geffen] wanted me to have international radio hits and "be the Annie Lennox of my generation." I kid you not; I am quoting directly."[34] Manson continued to write material while without a record deal and had contacted David Byrne and Ray Davies in hopes of potential collaborations.[1] Manson posted three demos on her Facebook profile, written by her and Kurstin, titled "In the Snow",[35] "Pretty Horses"[36] and "Lighten Up".[37] In January 2012, Manson confirmed that work on her solo album had been cancelled, stating the album "[is] dead and buried. We had the funeral. It was sad and I cried a lot but it made such a beautiful corpse that we had an open casket."[38]
In 2009, Manson announced she would retire from music, claiming she got sick of the music industry's new practices and had found more excitement in acting.[39] Manson claimed she thought about abandoning the music business as soon as 2008, when mother got ill with dementia and later died, saying that "I didn't want to make music, didn't feel creative. I could barely function." Later that year she reconsidered her words and went back into singing after being asked by friends to perform David Bowie's "Life on Mars?" at their son's memorial. According to Manson, "we were all in so much pain, but it meant so much to them that I could sing that song and so much to me that I was able to do something. It made me realise how much music sustains people. I don't know why I'd turned my back on it."[40]
Manson also worked with a number of artists outside of her solo project, reciting a verse of a long poem for a Chris Connelly album,[41] recording duets with Eric Avery[42] and Debbie Harry[43] and performing backing vocals on a Gavin Rossdale track.[44] Although not recording material with them, Manson also performed on-stage with The Pretenders, Iggy Pop, Incubus and Kings of Leon in Atlantic City,[45] with Gwen Stefani[46] and a further twice with No Doubt[47] in Universal City. Manson also performed in an uncredited role as a dominatrix in the music video for She Wants Revenge's single "These Things".[48] Most recently Manson performed vocals on a track written by Serj Tankian entitled "The Hunger", a single from the rock musical Prometheus Bound.[49]
Manson has long been interested in spirituality. She later recalled, "when I was very small, I was very besotted with the church, absolutely, I loved the theatre of it and I got very involved in all the stories we were taught." Her father was also her Sunday school teacher. When she was about 12, she had a huge fight with her father over the dinner table, screaming at him that "religion's a sham, ... and I'm not going to church any more, it's just bullshit". She stopped going to church, but continued to have theological debates with her father every Sunday. She became disenchanted with organised religion and although she maintained an interest in spirituality she complained that she "brushed up against too many examples of 'hypocritical' spiritualists." Manson claimed on her Facebook page to be in favour of "science but also maybe a little bit of spirituality... I am not scared of God but I am scared of the word".[50]
Manson married Scottish artist Eddie Farrell in September 1996, having been together for six years. The couple split around 2001; their divorce was finalised by 2003.[citation needed] Manson was later reported to have become engaged in 2008,[51] and in May 2010, married record producer and Garbage sound engineer Billy Bush in a Los Angeles court house.[52][53]
Manson's earliest musical memories were of her mother, who sang with a big band when Manson was a child. Manson was exposed to classic jazz records as she grew up and work by Nina Simone, Cher, Peggy Lee and Ella Fitzgerald.[54] Early in Manson's teenage years, she became a fan of Siouxsie and the Banshees albums The Scream and Kaleidoscope, and taught herself how to sing listening to those albums, later stating "many of the songs of those two albums were massive loves of my life".[55] Vocalist Siouxsie Sioux embodied how Manson aspired to be as a teen.[54] Manson would later write the foreword to Siouxsie & The Banshees: The Authorised Biography.[56]
At nineteen, Manson discovered Patti Smith, and specifically Smith's Horses album, which made a "strong impact" on her.[57] Manson was inspired to learn guitar by Chrissie Hynde, while also appreciating the style of Debbie Harry[54] of Blondie, whose 2006 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction speech was delivered by Manson.[58] The majority of Manson's influences were female musicians; however she also notes David Bowie[54] as an inspiring male musician. Manson also grew up listening to Ian Brown, Nick Cave, Frank Sinatra,[8] The Clash and The Velvet Underground.[10]
Manson possesses a contralto vocal range.[59] Manson herself has been credited with inspiring a new generation of female artists; including Ritzy Bryan (the lead singer and guitarist of The Joy Formidable),[60] Taylor Momsen,[61] and Katy Perry[62] as well as her contemporaries such as Kylie Minogue,[63] Gwen Stefani and Courtney Love. Manson has also personally given her support to Peaches, Brody Dalle, Karen O, Skylar Grey and Lana Del Rey[64] at the beginning of their respective careers.

The first time Manson contributed her vocals to a project separately from any of her bands was in 1998, when she performed vocals for the chorus of a Garbage-produced remix of Fun Lovin' Criminals 1999 single "Korean Bodega".[65] Due to litigation problems surrounding Manson's contractual obligation to Radioactive Records, further collaborations with both Fun Lovin' Criminals[70] and Moby[71] were unable to proceed.
Manson teamed up with Marilyn Manson and Tim Sköld in 2004 to record a cover version of the Human League's "Don't You Want Me"[72] but both felt the track inappropriate for either acts upcoming albums, and remains unreleased.[27] Later that year, Manson and Brody Dalle contributed backing vocals to a Queens of the Stone Age track.[73] In 2006, Manson planned to record a John Lennon cover version for the Amnesty International Instant Karma charity compilation with bassist Eric Avery,[74] however a scheduling misunderstanding left them short of time and unable to record the song.[75] Manson and Avery eventually co-wrote and recorded "Maybe", a ballad duet for Avery's album Help Wanted.[76]
The following year, Manson performed backing vocals on a track for Gavin Rossdale's solo album Wanderlust,[44] worked with long-time friend Chris Connelly, orating part of a long poem on his eighth album Forgiveness and Exile,[77] and worked on a duet with long time inspiration Debbie Harry[78] which remains uncompleted.[79] In 2008, Manson contributed to a Dusty Springfield tribute album, with an unspecified release date.[80]
Upon her taking on the role of Catherine Weaver in Terminator... and on the encouragement of series' composer Bear McCreary, Manson was asked by show runner Josh Friedman to perform and co-create a gospel arrangement of "Samson and Delilah" for the opening episode of the second season.[81] After much interest, the track was released on Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles season one soundtrack at the end of 2008.[67] Three years later Manson recorded vocals to a track composed by Serj Tankian and Steven Sater.[82] The track, "The Hunger", which Sater describes as exploring "the hunger of the heart", features on their rock musical adaptation of Prometheus Bound, and was recreated with fresh instrumentation and new lyrics for the digital release, exclusively through iTunes worldwide. All proceeds made from sales of the single will benefit Amnesty International.[83]
In 2002, electronic group West London Deep sampled Manson's vocal from "You Look So Fine" in their white label track "You're Taking Me Over". Manson refused clearance for the sample and the track was scrapped. By that point the track, and remixes by Inner City, Problem Kids and Desyn Masiello & Leon Roberts had already been circulated.[84] The song was reworked and re-released the following year as "Gonna Make You My Lover", without Manson's vocal.
Manson was cast in Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles in May 2008,[85] after being asked to appear by series creator Josh Friedman and enduring a multiple audition process, beating out other actresses including Julie Ann Emery.[86] She debuted in the season two premiere episode "Samson and Delilah" as Catherine Weaver, a CEO of a technology company, ZeiraCorp. At the conclusion of the episode, Weaver is revealed to be a liquid-metal T-1001 Terminator. Manson also performed and co-arranged a rock and blues version of the gospel song "Samson and Delilah" for the episode's score.[87] Manson cites actress Glenn Close and former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher as her acting influences for the ambiguous character.[88] Manson also played the human Weaver in archive footage viewed by the T-1001 in the episode "The Tower is Tall, But the Fall is Short".[89]
In 2009, Manson made her first venture into the videogame industry by becoming digitally mapped to create an avatar of herself for the Guitar Hero franchise. In the fifth game in the series, Manson is an unlockable character, while the game also features a licensed Garbage track.[90]

Manson has used her and Garbage's profile to raise awareness and funds for a number of causes, commissioning a Garbage branded lipgloss online, with all proceeds from the sales split between Grampian Children's Cancer Research and cancer treatment institutions at Royal Aberdeen Children's Hospital in Scotland and the Memorial Sloan Kettering Hospital in New York.
In 2001, Manson became an ambassador for the M•A•C AIDS Fund, fronting their fourth two-year charity lipstick marketing campaign alongside Elton John and Mary J. Blige, beginning with the launch of the VIVAMAC IV lipstick in March 2002, in which all proceeds of the sale of the lipstick goes to help fund AIDS charities and initiatives.[93] While touring, Manson visited several AIDS charities in Amsterdam, Edinburgh, Toronto, New York, San Francisco and Madison to make several donations totalling over $300,000 on behalf of the M•A•C AIDS Fund.[94]
In 2003, the M•A•C AIDS Fund linked with the Elton John AIDS Foundation to produce the White Bedroom campaign,[93] where both Elton John and Manson recorded PSAs promoting condom use and stating facts on AIDS.[95] By 2007, the combined six VIVAMAC campaigns had raised over $100 million U.S. dollars,[96] and as a former ambassador Manson accepted a cheque for £51,000 on behalf of HIV charity Waverley Care from the M•A•C AIDS Fund on 10 April 2008 at Harvey Nichols Edinburgh store.[97] Manson had become a patron of Waverley Care in October 2002[98] and previously hosted a fund raiser auction to raise funds for the charity in January 2004 which raised £45,000. A Fender guitar owned by Manson raised £1,050, while other items auctioned included contributions sourced by Manson herself, from Elton John and Kylie Minogue.
Manson is also a keen lover of animals. In 2007, Manson fronted an international poster campaign for PETA Europe, holding the carcass of a fox under the headline "Here's the rest of your fur coat".[99] Manson has also adopted a rescue dog, a terrier-mix named Veela,[100] named after the fictional beings from the Harry Potter books.[101]
In 2008, Manson became involved with the Pablove Foundation, a charity founded by Dangerbird Records head Jeff Castelaz, whose son Pablo succumbed to cancer the following year. Funds raised for the Pablove Foundation directly supports the pediatric cancer community in and around Children's Hospital Los Angeles.[102] Manson reformed Garbage to contribute an exclusive track, "Witness to Your Love", to a charity album for the Foundation;[103] signed off a Pablove poster for auction on eBay;[102] Manson also hosted a fundraiser headlined by the Silversun Pickups,[104] and performed acoustically on-stage at a second fundraiser with Butch Vig and Tom Gabel (for a rendition of "Witness...") and with Greg Kurstin (for a cover of Pablo's favourite song, David Bowie's "Life on Mars?").[105]
In 2010, Shirley Manson donated two hand-decorated T-shirts to Binki Shapiro's (of the band "Little Joy") on-line charity auction "Crafts for a Cause" to help raise money for the earthquake victims of Haiti. The two T-shirts raised a total of $1522.00, which was donated to the Artists for Peace and Justice organisation.[106]

Training One Human at a Time...
It's not just our motto but the basis of our approach.
90% of the most common problems we see arise from a dog's owner not knowing how to properly handle a troublesome situation. Common mistakes in the owner's behavior can lead to big problems with the dog. Through education-based instruction, we combine one-on-one lessons and "homework" to show you how to be a consistent and effective role in your dog's learning experience.
Motivated K9 focuses on not just teaching your dog to obey but educating YOU with the know-how to apply the techniques learned in your every-day life.
Whether it's overcoming behavioral issues affecting your dog-owner relationship, or sharpening your canine to become a partner in protecting your family, we have programs to fit every need and schedule.
