Okay, weve had a few days to get used to it being 2013. Ive already had to write it once on a check. Im so proud of myself! I didnt mess up with it, either! Yay! Go me. Instead, I messed up on the month. I tried to say it was December 2013. Yeah, thats a little too far into the future. Oh well!I still cant believe that its truly 2013 though. Who has already abandoned those resolutions? Not me! Not yet. Give me time. Im sure I will!

With four planets in Capricorn, it can feel like we have the weight of the world on our shoulders. Our ambition may quadruple – as the sign of the seagoat is the striver who climbs the to the highest peak – but we're just s likely to fall prey to predating self-doubt or false beliefs of our inadequacy. It's no accident Capricorn is what's for dinner at New Year's Eve when we're formulating resolutions that shoot for the moon. This is a time of goal-setting and strategy. This is a time to get real and go for your dreams. <br/ >
<br/ >
The planets will be in this steely, determined sign for various periods of time. Pluto – the planet of collective transformation – will be in Cap until 2024 while Mercury only until January 14th when it shifts into Aquarius. Venus, in retrograde mode, stays here until St. Patty's day making clear where the cracks lie in our relationships and perhaps even calling back ex's or the memory of them to make sure we're moving forward with a clear heart and wizened sense of what we truly need to be in a stable partnership. The Sun shines in Capricorn until the 21st of this month highlighting our talents or weaknesses for setting goals and taking practical, purposeful steps. <br/ >
Share a free sample Sensual Synergy. The stars reveal the secrets of your relationship with the Sensual Synergy Reading.
<br/ >
Capricorn is not a sign of quick reward but of "delayed" gratification. As Danielle Laporte says in her new book "The Desire Map" – the journey has to feel the way you want the destination to feel. Gratifaction comes with every step by knowing that we're showing up for ourselves and with the faith that we will reach the peak or die trying. In our culture of quick fixes with its premium on external wealth, it's easy to misinterpret Capricorn energy as wanting just the superficial gloss of what hard work has to offer – and want it now. While that is surely a shadow expression, what the cosmos are really encouraging is to get real with yourself and decide what makes you tick and throw yourself behind it. Sure, material wealth may be a happy by-product – but what Capricorn is really after is the inimitable satisfaction of a job well done and a challenge faced head-on and with integrity. Pick your peak.

Posts Tagged 'online education'
Taking genealogy courses allow you to update what you already know, or learn new things. There are PLENTY of genealogy places that offer courses, so you need to review who's giving the course, what the course subject is, does it require any prerequisites to take the course you want to take, is it online learning or at home learning, and – sometimes the most important part – how much it costs.
Anyone can get started in genealogy without needing any education. But we often find out that a course or two really enhances our knowledge. There are many paid sites where you can register for courses, but Genealogy.com offers FREE courses through their Online University. Their course offerings include Beginning Genealogy, Internet Genealogy, Tracing Immigrant Origins, and Researching with Genealogy.Com. They also have some fundamental articles on Getting Started on their site.
FamilySearch also offers free courses online. Their courses also range from beginner to advanced, and cover many topics from ethnic groups to international research. And their courses are offered in a variety of languages. Family Search is provided by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
As with any popular hobby, there's always someone out there trying to do their best to lure you in to their website fraudulently. About.com offers a great page on "How to Identify & Avoid Genealogy Scams" which you should check out if you have any questions about the site or an email that you receive.
On a quick aside: thanks for the inquiries that have come personally. Having had some health issues the past few months has side-tracked my ability to post. I appreciate your concern and well wishes!

Shrimp Fritters
When my eldest sister came to visit in mid April, we were reminiscing on our family recipes, especially all the dishes that our late mother used to prepare on a daily basis. My mother was an excellent and creative home cook. She fed us every day with 4 to 5 dishes. On our dining table, there were always soup, pork/chicken, seafood, tofu/eggs, and vegetables. Somehow, she managed to cook something new and never seemed to run out of ideas. Even though we came from a poor family, we ate well, extremely well…a revelation that I only realized much later in life.
As we were talking, I remembered the shrimp fritters, or hee chee, that my mother used to make—doughy nuggets of little shrimp, bean sprouts and flour, fried to golden brown and served with her homemade garlic chili sauce. The thought of the shrimp fritters immediately made my mouth water. It's a dish that I haven't had for a long while, one recipe that my family is particularly fond of…
So here it is, my mother's simple yet delicious shrimp fritters recipe. It is very easy to make and takes only a few basic ingredients. I have made it again and again since my sister left, it is so good that my good friend's little boy gave his thumb up after his first bite. Try it and I am sure you will enjoy this homey and nostalgic recipe from my late mother.
Other delicious family recipes that you might like:
- Chili Crab
- Sweet and Sour Eggs (masak Belanda)
- Prawn Sambal (sambal udang)
- Stewed Pork Ribs
- Sesame Oil Chicken
- Braised Pork Belly in Soy Sauce (tau yew bak)
- Assam Prawn
- Fish Head Curry
- Squid Curry (gulai sotong)
- Stir-fry Pork with Cincaluk
- Chai Buey
- Sambal Stuffed Fish

Oh man, this shrimp fritters look good. If the links are the dishes you ate while growing up, you did eat well!
Love shrimp fritters. My mom used to make it too. Perfect as a finger food or appetizer.
Ahhh….cucur udang….another of my favourites! My mom adds chopped red chillies and onions in hers. I've never cooked this with taugeh…will try soon. In the Asian Food channel, local celebrity Chef Wan does this with even more ingredients: cream corn(!), tumeric powder, dried prawns, taugeh, fresh prawns, diced tomato, yellow dhal, onions, green chillies, daun kucai/bawang.
This is so timely! Was craving them. When I grew up in Penang, I used to get the "cok udang" during school breaks for 20 sen! This is the Malay version vs. my mom's chinese version (without the sprouts). Thanks Bee.
This is a simple dish with big memory! Your mom must be very proud of you. Thanks for sharing another fine example of a homey Malaysian dish. I love all the fritters with taugeh. They add to the sweetness and the crunch. Btw, Happy Duanwu Jie!
My mom's version is the flat type with shallots added.
That's our family's favorite. :)
Love these a lot. Used to buy lots of them from the night market, though they're slightly different; cucur udang's the name. The prawns are deep-fried with shells intact though.
These things are very addictive!!! Thank you for the recipe!
Great site, thanks for sharing your passion!
Nice receipe worth trying at home and make children happy.
Like you , I grew up with fantastic home cooked food by mum – mainly Penang Nyonya food :) I have been exploring few of your recipes and love them a lot as it is really similar to my mum's cooking . And, this is one more childhood food that I crave a lot but difficult to get a good one from shops these days . Will try this out soon and thank for sharing your passion particularly Nyonya food .

Currently, the five leading languages are Chinese, Spanish, English, Hindi and Arabic. I was even more shocked to learn there were 7,358 languages spoken worldwide in 2009, according to Ethnologue.com.
Linguists estimate 90 percent of these languages are spoken by fewer than 100,000 people, but that is still a lot of languages uttered around our planet! Of course, this was not always the case.
According to Genesis 11:1, there was a time when everyone on earth spoke only one language. It makes sense if human life started with one man and one woman that there was only one language in the beginning.
But Genesis 11:4-8 tells us God confused the language of humans who set out to build a city and tower to make a name for themselves, causing them to scatter and fulfill His purpose to fill the earth.
Since that time, however, languages have multiplied and the population of the planet has soared to some 7 billion people, which brings us current with the God who set these things in motion, and His purpose for 7 billion people speaking some 7,000 different languages. What purpose is that?
Paul quotes Exodus 9:16 at Romans 9:17 which states His purpose. "For the Scripture says to Pharaoh, 'For this purpose I have raised you up, that I may show My power in you, and that My name may be declared in all the earth." — New King James Version.
This Divine Name was meant to be declared in all the earth. Is His name simply "God?" I thought so as a youth. But God is merely a title like president, king or judge. 1Corinthians 8:5 reveals there are many "called gods." The Egyptians had names for their gods like Isis, Ra and Anubis. The God of the Israelites gave Himself a personal name made up of four Hebrew letters, translated YHWH.
The name appeared 6,828 times in the Hebrew text alone — more than God and Lord combined. According to Bible scholars, ancient Hebrew was written without vowels. Readers supplied the vowels as they read, similar to our abbreviations for Sr., Jr. Mgr., Pvt., TN, FL and others.
Because no one knows which vowels were used, the exact pronunciation of the Divine Name was lost, not unlike the correct pronunciation for NHMH for Nehemiah, MLCH for Malachi or JRMH for Jeremiah and other abbreviated Bible names we continue to use.
Translators started to capitalize GOD and LORD where the Divine Name was, such as at Psalm 8:9: "O LORD our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth!"
The American Standard Version and other translations of this verse now read, "O Jehovah, our Lord, How excellent is thy name in all the earth!"
Although living under the Roman Empire, which promoted gods like Zeus and Hermes (Acts 14:12-13), Jesus Christ prayed that his Father's Name should be hallowed or kept holy and said at John 17:26, "I have declared to them Your name, and will declare it, that the love with which You loved me may be in them, and I in them." — New King James Version.
Should Jesus' followers do any less? Psalm 83:16-18 says, "Fill their faces with confusion, that they may seek thy name, O Jehovah. Let them be put to shame and dismayed for ever; Yea, let them be confounded and perish; that they may know that thou alone, whose name is Jehovah, art the Most High over all the earth." — American Standard Version.
In Hebrew this name is often pronounced "Yahweh." How is it pronounced in 7,358 languages? Don't ask me. But clearly God wants His name used in whatever language people speak.
How is He going to make His name known in all the earth? Time will tell. But God says at Ezekiel 36:23, "And I will sanctify my great name, which hath been profaned among the nations, which ye have profaned in the midst of them; and the nations shall know that I am Jehovah, saith the Lord Jehovah, when I shall be sanctified in you before their eyes." — American Standard Version.
Does that mean more than 7,000 different languages and some 8 billion people will "know" this Divine Name in some special way? Only time will tell. But Psalm 9:10 says, "They trust in Thee who do know Thy name, for Thou hast not forsaken those seeking Thee, O Jehovah." — Young's Literal Translation.
In fact, Zephaniah 3:12 says, "And I shall certainly let remain in the midst of you a people humble and lowly, and they will actually take refuge in the name of Jehovah." — New World Translation.
Should all languages of the earth use this hallowed Name of God as Jesus taught in prayer and made known in his day? If God is taking out of the Gentiles "a people for His name" as Acts 15:14 says, might it be in our own interest to follow Paul's example at Ephesians 3:14, 15?
"For this reason I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, from whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named." — New King James Version.

This course examines the legal doctrines of privacy and confidentiality used to protect personal information. The aim of the course is to understand how courts and legislatures seek to protect information as new technologies and new institutional practices emerge. The course examines the philosophical roots of the concepts of privacy and confidentiality, and traces the development in American law of the protection of an individual's right to control his or her personal information held by others. The course will review developments in Constitutional law, tort law, and statutory law. The class will examine case studies of landmark privacy legislation to understand how expectations of privacy and confidentiality are translated into legal frameworks. The course spends a considerable amount of time studying the scope and implications of federal statutes that attempt to establish fair information practices with respect to electronic personal information.

GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. - Christmas may be over, but the holiday season still reigns supreme with New Year's Eve - Monday, Dec. 31 - looming large on the horizon.
Just remember: Celebrate safely!
"The primary New Year's concern is drunk drivers (and) driving," Mesa County Sheriff's Office Spokeswoman Heather Benjamin said. "To that we say, plan ahead. Call a cab, establish a sober designated driver, spend the night. Depending on the outside temperatures, people will most likely want to avoid extended time outside."
So, with that in mind, here's some fun ways to ring in 2013.
Gateway Canyons Resort is hosting its own New Year's Eve celebration, complete with a champagne toast, fireworks and dancing with the David Starr Band. Festivities run from 7 p.m. to 1 a.m., and admission is $130 (not including a room). Call Gateway Canyons Resort for more information: 970-931-2458.
With many of Colorado's top-tier ski resorts within a few hours of Grand Junction, why not ring in the New Year on skis? Visit your favorite ski resort's website for information on New Year's Eve events, deals and parties.
Telluride Ski Resort, for example, will host two torch-light parades (one into the town and the other into Mountain Village) during the early evening hours. Plus, fireworks and a Main Street countdown (in front of the courthouse) will ring the New Year in right.
Just remember - hotel reservations tend to book up over this holiday weekend, so make your plans ASAP.
If you're staying local, don't forget to check your favorite restaurant, brew pub or bar for New Year's celebrations. Drink specials, music and dancing may be just the ticket at your local haunt.
Powderhorn Mountain Resort is hosting its own Grand Valley torch-light parade and fireworks display at sunset, too (starting at 6 p.m.). Musical act Jack + Jill will jam out for the crowd on the Sunset Deck from 2:30-5 p.m. And a Monster Ball Drop Rail Jam will be held from 4-6 p.m. The celebration ends early, however - at 7:30 p.m.
Feel like dancing? The DoubleTree on Horizon Drive is throwing a New Year's party featuring musical guests Firefall and Stray Grass. Tickets are $39 a person and there's a complimentary champagne toast at midnight! There's also ticket prices to include rooms and dinner. Call 970-257-8138 for more info.
Teenagers (from 6th through 9th Grades) may want to check out the Bananas Fun Park Teen Bash on Riverside Parkway Dec. 31. It's scheduled from 7-11 p.m., with a DJ, dancing, plus food and drink specials. And it's only $10 per person at the door. For more information, visit www.bananasfunpark.com.

Slippery, slushy icy mess for evening commuters
Tuesday, January 29, 2013
DOVER — Seacoast and Tri-City motorists had a snow-white and slushy Monday to start the week as flakes began falling just after noon and accumulating in time to make for a slippery and icy evening commute.
Immediately following the snow and slush, another blast of Arctic air is predicted by meteorologists at Accuweather.com for the Northeast.
"A second pulse of stratospheric warming occurred during the middle of January is now sending another blast of Arctic air southward," Mark Paquette, meteorologist, said.
Their forecast indicates that temperatures will be almost as bitter as those experienced last week, but not quite as frigid. The time frame is also not expected to last as long as the previous blast of cold air. Instead of a week of freezing temperatures, this bout is forecast to last only a few days.
The difference, however, will be how warm it has now been leading up to these future cold days as opposed to temperatures before the last chill.

I also experienced another aspect of Flex that I hadn't considered until this week. With my paladin being in a "normal mode" type raid group (hunter in a heroic group), we're at 9/14 N. But with part 4 of Flex out yesterday, we took a night to go do part 3 and 4 as a raid team of 12-13 people and get some experience on those fights. Certainly we didn't play perfectly but the encounters were forgiving enough to allow us to down most of the bosses in part 3 in 2 or 3 shots. Then in part 4 we had time to do Siegecrafter and Paragons, but ran out of time for Garrosh. The great thing was, while we're not yet at Siegecrafter in normal (although I guess we could if we diverted there instead of working on Spoils), we got some experience for people running the gauntlet on Siegecrafter and figuring out who could do it and if they could solo one of the weapons, etc, etc. It was valuable experience that I'm sure is going to help us down that encounter quicker on normal mode.
Likewise, Paragons is a fight with a thousand different mechanics so getting people used to those on Flex before they get there on normal was valuable. We ended up one shotting it fairly sloppily burning all our brezs but still people got to see it all. We'll probably go back tonight and go through Garrosh on Flex to give people a shot at their heirlooms if Garrosh is also fairly forgiving on Flex.
So Flex is now also a nice training tool for raid groups working through normal mode.


text: A strategy we've begun to apply is after your first tank clears his initial stacks let him continue to tank Halfus right up until he dies, if SS'd he can instantly rez himself or just be quick to brez him while your second tank takes halfus, this way you aren't stuck with an extremely gimped tank for that 30 seconds which tends to be one of the most healing intensive parts. Saves early mana costs and if your tank can live up until aroun 18 stacks of the debuff before dying you just bought an extra 10-15 seconds of mortal strike being applied to any other tanks. It's really nice to not have any more then 1 tank with the debuff for the first 1:30-2 minutes.

Force India unveiled their VJM06 at Silverstone on Friday, saying it is not only an evolution but also better looking that it's predecessor.
The midfield outfit finished seventh in last year's Championship after ending with a run of nine consecutive grands prix in the points.
This year, though, Force India are hoping for better as their VJM06 is a refinement of last year's car.
"Obviously the regulations are reasonably stable from last year to this year, and the ban on the double DRS doesn't really affect us, for example," said technical director Andrew Green.
"We basically stopped developing last year's car around the middle of the season. In fact it was still being developed in the tunnel, but those parts were not being brought to the track.
"So the trackside guys had a chance to understand what they had, rather than it changing every week, which is really what happened up to that point.
"When you have something that is stable you can then refine it and really dial it in.
"We just tried to understand what the car was doing, where it differed from the model, and more importantly how we worked the tyres. We used that extra knowledge for this year's car, and it helped quite a lot."
But despite the new car being an evolution of last year's Green says there is a lot that has changed as well and not just the nose.
"It's a brand new car from the ground-up - everything is new, including the chassis. I know other teams were talking about carrying over big chunks of last year's car, but we haven't done that, to try and push ourselves up the grid.
"There were still some gains to be had with the chassis, so we elected to do that. However the car is evolution rather than revolution compared with last year, just due to the nature of the regulations.
"Visually probably the biggest thing that everybody's going to notice this year is the fairing on top of the nose to get rid of the step. It's completely neutral as far as the car is concerned, so it's a small thing really. We were happy to do it as the car looks nicer!"
He added: "There are quite a few changes under the skin. Because we focussed a lot on the tyres last year we've given ourselves quite a few more options on set-up to help us manage them from qualifying to the race.
"So that's something we'll be looking at going into winter testing - we'll be looking at those options and trying to understand them. It's going to be difficult because in testing it's so cold, but those options will give the engineers another weapon in their armoury."

Its obvious that in the 3 for 1 world, players have more points to spend on powers, attack and defense. If the official M&M products use NPCs developed using the point costings in the core books, PCs will always be a little overpowered.
So its a bit of a quandary - I want to be able to incorporate elements of FC, the Nocturnals, Crooks, etc into the game world, and know that things are balanced. I think we need to redevelop the PCs to reflect the 1 to 1 skill costings.
Anyone else notice this problem? Maybe I'm just slow. You either have to 'beef up' every published NPC coming out in a future product (no fun), or use the standard point costing to assure that PL 10 = PL 10 = PL 10. Bummer.

Trails officials hope third time is a charm for covered bridge funding
Local officials are hoping that the third time will be a charm in applying for funding to repair the Ceylon Covered Bridge. Geneva Town Manager Doug Milligan, also representing South Adams Trails, Inc., said that Adams County Commissioners have agreed to be the lead applicant in applying for funds for bridge repairs through the Office of Community and Rural Affairs (OCRA)
"OCRA primarily funds infrastructure such as waste water, storm water and other such projects,†said Milligan. "They fund very few historic projects.â€
Milligan indicated that on some occasions, however, there is money incorporated in their funding rounds that will cover some significant historic project.
"They fund one or two rounds a year,†said Milligan. "Sometimes they will make a segment of that funding available for historic projects.
"The thing is, you never know when that type of designated money is going to be in there,†continued Milligan. "It is important to be persistent in applying in order to hopefully hit one of those rounds where there is some historic funding there.â€
Milligan said that it is not only important to hit a round when that type of funding is available, but several other circumstances also have to line up, such as the number of other historic applications and the significance of the other projects being applied for.
"It is important to note that this funding is coming through state funds and does not tap local tax dollars,†stressed Milligan. "It is not costing local tax payers. Sure it is coming through state taxes, but that money is designated to go out anyways.â€
Milligan said that as part of the OCRA grant process two public hearings are required. One was conducted at an Adams County Commissioners meeting in August. The second will be held at the Ceylon Covered Bridge on Thursday, Oct. 7, at 5:30 p.m. Ham and beans and corn bread will be served at the bridge and the public is urged to attend, Milligan emphasized.
Opportunity will be given to express support for the bridge and to explain its importance to the local area.
"We really need support for this,†said Milligan. "We hope that we will have a large crowd of people to come and support this.
"Even though this is our third attempt, we have reason to believe that there is a viable historic project that is going to receive funding this year,†said Milligan. "There are no assurances but we have reason to believe that there is some good hope for optimism this year.â€
Milligan said that local officials feel that they have a high quality project that deserves state attention. The fact that the bridge is a state historic site and is the only covered bridge crossing the Wabash River, Indiana's largest inland body of water, should eventually grab state officials' attention, Milligan said.
"Persistence is important,†said Milligan. "One of the disadvantages is that there is such limited funding available for historic preservation. But it is important to be persistent. You keep going for it until you hit things just right at some point. We believe we have a high quality product and we're going to keep working on this.â€

The Revolution is Love
"An economist says 'more for you is less for me.' But the lover knows
that more for you is more for me too. If you love somebody, then their
happiness is your happiness. Their pain is your pain. Your sense of self
expands to include other beings.That's love. Love is the expansion of the self to include the other. And that's a different kind of revolution. There's no one to fight—there's no evil to fight. There's no 'other' in this revolution.
— Charles Eisenstein
This clip is from the forthcoming feature-length documentary Occupy Love from Ian MacKenzie and Velcrow Ripper.
- Why We're Not Afraid
"Our communities need us—we are all leaders." A message for the powers that were.
- Oakland and After: Lessons from the General Strike
Media reports focus on the few acts of vandalism and violence, but the majority of occupiers at Oakland's General Strike succeeded in a peaceful shutdown of Oakland's banks and port.
- To Build Community, an Economy of Gifts
Charles Eisenstein: For a multitude of reasons, we need to need each other.

Many of America's richest men have roots in Scotland, and over the years, some have returned to their ancestral lands to live in the dramatic castles which dot the craggy landscape of this ancient country.
AMERICANS IN SCOTLAND journeys across the Atlantic to visit some of the finest of these castles, where captains of industry reclaimed their roots in high style. See the stunning collections of arms and armor, tapestries and portraits amassed by Alexander Leith, a steel baron who returned from America to live in splendor in Fyvie Castle, his boyhood home. Tour the ancient chambers and vaulted halls of 16th century Crathes Castle, owned by one family for over 350 years. The 11th Baronet made a fortune in ranching in America before coming back with his New York bride to claim his title and home. And see the chambers of Culzean Castle, where Dwight D. Eisenhower spent many of his happiest moments. The top floor of the 1772 castle was given to the American general in 1945 as a thank-you present from the Scottish people, and became a favorite retreat for Ike.
Join AMERICA'S CASTLES for a privileged tour of some of the most dramatic homes of all the stunning Scottish castles.

Well... I couldn't help myself. I popped on to FB and read every comment. Here's what I posted:
How sad that a few people here can't enjoy and appreciate everyone's creativity without putting down digital scrapbooking as "not real." I was a paper scrapbooker, but went digital in 2006. When I open Photoshop, I am staring at a blank 12X12 page. I choose my papers and my embellishments, just like I used to. My scissors are my mouse and PS tools like the selection tools, vector shapes, and clipping masks. I make decisions about what "adhesive" to use when I add shadows. Obviously the shadow created when we use Pop-dots on traditional layouts is very different then the shadow created when we use a basic tape-runner. I must adjust accordingly. I ink edges, add glitter, and stamp using things called layer styles. I use overlays. I do not "pick a pic and click." My computer does not, will not, and cannot do the work for me. I am as creative now as I was then. I still use all the same techniques, I just had to learn how to use new tools. When I look at a layout that someone posts, I see a memory that someone lovingly preserved. I don't see traditional, hybrid, or digital because, to me, it's completely irrelevant and they are all very real.
well said Joanne!
I hear ya, when our church did monthly craft days I would literally fill my van full of my scrapbook stuff and spend a long time carrying it all downstairs, to the van, into the church, out of the church, back into the house and back upstairs.
This is just a small part of what I used to have and all I kept when I purged thru it after I started digiscrapping!!
p.s. I did try traditional scrapbooking once, just couldn't do it because there was SO much. 8 pairs of scissors, stacks upon stacks of papers, little embellishments getting EVERYWHERE, glitter that never comes off of any work space, and snibbles of paper garbage littered everywhere... too much STUFF and not enough room. I have an Aunt that has an entire ROOM devoted to her scrapbooking. I do not jest. It's ridiculous (cool, sure, but ridiculous) in my opinion. But again, whatever makes you happy, and I mean that! Having to be able to just hit the power button and everything is at hand, and being able to walk away for a bit and SAVING- not having to worry about cats, dog tails or toddler hands mussing up my work... that's priceless to me.
NOT TO MENTION PRICE: Digiscrapping is cheaper, hands down.
This is so me. When my son was born, I tried to paper scrap. I bought all kinds of papers & some embellishments. I have a few scissors & paper trimmers, but I couldn't justify the cost of the stuff I really wanted and I couldn't stand the mess all over. It was so much work to pull everything out and do just one page. That it sat.
When I came across digi scrapping and what all I could do with it ~ I was hooked. I'm able to be creative without the mess & without the huge price!

Screw Positive Thinking! Why Our Quest for Happiness Is Making Us Miserable
Photo Credit: Shutterstock.com/Sergey Nivens
Stay up to date with the latest headlines via email.
The man who claims that he is about to tell me the secret of human happiness is eighty-three years old, with an alarming orange tan that does nothing to enhance his credibility. It is just after eight o'clock on a December morning, in a darkened basketball stadium on the outskirts of San Antonio, and — according to the orange man — I am about to learn 'the one thing that will change your life forever." I'm skeptical, but not as much as I might normally be, because I am only one of more than fifteen thousand people at Get Motivated!, America's "most popular business motivational seminar," and the enthusiasm of my fellow audience members is starting to become infectious.
"So you wanna know?" asks the octogenarian, who is Dr. Robert H. Schuller, veteran self-help guru, author of more than thirty-five books on the power of positive thinking, and, in his other job, the founding pastor of the largest church in the United States constructed entirely out of glass. The crowd roars its assent. Easily embarrassed British people like me do not, generally speaking, roar our assent at motivational seminars in Texas basketball stadiums, but the atmosphere partially overpowers my reticence. I roar quietly.
"Here it is, then," Dr. Schuller declares, stiffly pacing the stage, which is decorated with two enormous banners reading "MOTIVATE!" and "SUCCEED!," seventeen American flags, and a large number of potted plants. "Here's the thing that will change your life forever." Then he barks a single syllable — "Cut!" — and leaves a dramatic pause before completing his sentence: '… the word 'impossible' out of your life! Cut it out! Cut it out forever!"
The audience combusts. I can't help feeling underwhelmed, but then I probably shouldn't have expected anything different from Get Motivated!, an event at which the sheer power of positivity counts for everything. "You are the master of your destiny!" Schuller goes on. "Think big, and dream bigger! Resurrect your abandoned hope! … Positive thinking works in every area of life!'
The logic of Schuller's philosophy, which is the doctrine of positive thinking at its most distilled, isn't exactly complex: decide to think happy and successful thoughts — banish the spectres of sadness and failure — and happiness and success will follow. It could be argued that not every speaker listed in the glossy brochure for today's seminar provides uncontroversial evidence in support of this outlook: the keynote speech is to be delivered, in a few hours' time, by George W . Bush, a president far from universally viewed as successful. But if you voiced this objection to Dr. Schuller, he would probably dismiss it as "negativity thinking." To criticize the power of positivity is to demonstrate that you haven't really grasped it at all. If you had, you would stop grumbling about such things, and indeed about anything else.
The organisers of Get Motivated! describe it as a motivational seminar, but that phrase — with its suggestion of minor-league life coaches giving speeches in dingy hotel ballrooms — hardly captures the scale and grandiosity of the thing. Staged roughly once a month, in cities across North America, it sits at the summit of the global industry of positive thinking, and boasts an impressive roster of celebrity speakers: Mikhail Gorbachev and Rudy Giuliani are among the regulars, as are General Colin Powell and, somewhat incongruously, William Shatner. Should it ever occur to you that a formerly prominent figure in world politics (or William Shatner) has been keeping an inexplicably low profile in recent months, there's a good chance you'll find him or her at Get Motivated!, preaching the gospel of optimism.

BALTIMORE - Baltimore Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake is congratulating former Baltimore Raven Jonathan Ogden on being elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
The honor was announced Saturday for the retired offensive lineman, who spent a dozen seasons with the Ravens and was voted to 11 Pro Bowls. Former Ravens owner Art Modell was among those who didn't make the cut.
Rawlings-Blake says she was present at the official announcement. The mayor says Ogden is one of the best offensive linemen of all time. She says Ogden is continuing to help young children in Baltimore "to become great adults."
Others selected for the Hall of Fame were Coach Bill Parcells, Warren Sapp, Cris Carter, Jonathan Ogden and Larry Allen.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Dressed as Kiss, crowd licks it up at MTS Centre
They were made for loving band that's still hotter than hell
THE Kiss Army is mobilizing and Ricky Zimmermann is ready to march into the trenches. Again.
He's left behind $120,000 worth of Kiss memorabilia in his Winnipeg home, decked out in a Gene Simmons wig and high-heeled boots in homage to the band's frontman. The makeup is spot-on and ornate scales rise from his boots to his thighs.
"I've told my family that when I die, before I get cremated you have to put me in my costume and burn me like this," Zimmermann said, standing in the lobby of the MTS Centre before the iconic American rock band hit the stage Thursday night.
"Dead serious," Zimmermann replied.
Hotter than hell, indeed.
But then the Kiss Army has been recruiting soldiers since 1974, when the band's first album debuted. All these years later, the troops remain fervently loyal.
So Zimmermann wasn't alone. Darren Lehman was in line with his wife, Emanuela, and three children: Dayton, 12, Tessa, 9, and Sienna, 7. All had their faces made up in classic Kiss designs, emulating original band members Simmons, Paul Stanley, Ace Frehley and Peter Criss.
It was the first time young Tessa and Sienna were to see Kiss live, but let's just say they've heard the lyrics of Detroit Rock City and Love Gun for, well, forever.
"When they were in the wombs they were listening to it," said Lehman. "We had the music on, we had the headsets on. By the time he (Dayton) was three, he knew all the words to Rock and Roll All Night."
Added Emanuela: "It's in their blood now."
For the record, the Lehmans don't just get out the Kiss makeup for concerts. "When we do this, it's not just for Halloween, but when we're bored in the house," said the machine adjuster.
In fact, the Lehmans' bathroom is pimped out in honour of the band. The overhead light is the shape of a Kiss logo. When you flush the toilet, the song Rock N' Roll Over plays.
They call their washroom "the hottest can in the land."
Darren and Emanuela were high school sweethearts from their days at Maples Collegiate. When they were married 11 years ago, Darren and the wedding party arrived at the social in Kiss face makeup.
Zimmermann can relate. Just last year, he and wife Krista renewed their wedding vows in Las Vegas at the Kiss Monster Mini Golf Course, which is adjacent to the Hotter Than Hell Wedding Chapel.
The ceremony was performed by a Kiss impersonator. They have pictures and everything.
"It was awesome," Krista said. "It was a lot of fun."
Zimmermann installs flooring and has been working so hard lately Krista didn't have the heart to get him to put on her makeup for last night's gig. It's usually a family thing, including their three children.
But then the Kiss Army has long been populated by generational regiments. Patti Kafka, a 50-something mother, was in attendance with 22-year-old son Brendan. "I've been listening to them since my 20s," Patti said. "Finally, I have enough money to go to a concert. I didn't then."
Asked if the band had become too old for rock, Kafka replied, "No, because that means I'm too old. And I'm not. If they can still keep us happy, so what?"
Indeed, there was no shortage of fans at the MTS Centre who were born around the time Kiss hits became classic rock. They don't care.
"I like old school music," said Keara Chisholm, 16. "It's wicked."
"It's the vibe," added Emma Marsden, 14. "It gets you pumped. Rebellious and all that."
Craig Henckel would agree. Dressed in his Simmons outfit (the tongue is real), he stands 6-11. His day job is painting trailers. At a gathering of Kiss fanatics, he's a star. People stop to take his picture. One fan wants him to autograph his shirt.
"If I walk down the street, I'm a nobody," Henckel said. "But if I put on 25 pounds of leather, makeup and wear high heels, women throw themselves at me. I'm not kidding. It's a blast."

Mark Webber insists he "still enjoys driving the cars" in Formula One and hinted he could stay in the sport beyond this season.
The veteran Australian's future in F1 remains a hot topic for debate in the wake of the controversial Malaysian Grand Prix when his team-mate Sebastian Vettel ignored team orders to claim the win ahead of him.
Webber was not only linked with a move away from Red Bull after the race, but some reports suggested he could quit F1 altogether and join Porsche to spearhead their Le Mans return.
However, the 36-year-old insists people are reading too much into things.
"People are putting two and two together and getting a bit more than they should do," he told BBC Sport.
"I'm looking forward to this year. As long as you're competitive and can get work, which is not a big issue for me at the moment, things are going well."
Asked if he wanted to stay in F1 in 2014, he replied: "That's a good question. I still enjoy driving the cars. The tyres have made it a little bit more challenging - the job as a driver has changed a bit for sure, the camaraderie is massive.
"That's a big factor in this sport. This stuff [the speculation that surrounds F1], you get a bit long in the tooth for that.
"As you get older you get less tolerant of other aspects of the job but ultimately the drug is still very powerful, to drive you to do the job you wanted to do in the first place which is driving the car."
