Take a $500 item for example, with a 30% mark up from crc it's $650. But if an Australian version of crc wanted to get that special thingo in for you it's $500 wholesale, then $25 duty, IPDC $55, then 30% mark up, $754, then add this immaterial GST, comes to $829, $179 over $650, thats 27.6%.
It still has to be balanced against the cost to the Oz Governemnt associated with collecting the aditional duties and charges. I just purchased parts (two cranksets, stem and headset spacers) from Bike 24 in Germany for which my credit card was charged just shy of AU$250. If duties and GST were charged on that then it would have added $99.25 to the bill and there'd have to be a mechanism for the Gov to collect this money from me either via Customs or AusPost and they'd both charge for the service (the latter quite considerably). There's no way they could collect that money at the point of purchase.
However, if I'd have bought those exact same parts locally from one of my preferred suppliers TBSM then the exact same parts delivered to my door would have cost me $423...that's another $75 on top of my Bike24 purchase plus its mythical local charges. So I'd STILL make the purchase from Bike24 anyway!!!
Frankly, the Gov would get no significant financial benefit from the investment required to reduce the import threshold and enforce these conditions (though it would be an economic windfall for whichever agency was charged with the collection of funds) AND it still wouldn't provide the consistent disincentive function that you still expect it to perform which would make it a double policy failure.

To Help Support:
SinuFix is intended to provide nutritive support for healthy sinus function, supports clear sinuses and nasal passages, healthy immune response, and to help maintain overall well being.* It contains the highest quality forms of natural ingredients for helping to support healthy sinus and respiratory functions. No artificial colors, preservatives, fillers, binders, gluten or yeasts.
According to the Mayo Clinic, the primary cause of chronic sinus infection is fungi -- molds and yeasts which become airborne like pollen. Antibiotics, therefore, are often not effective because they target bacteria. And synthetic over-the-counter decongestants typically become ineffective with more than 3 days usage, and can lead to dependency.
Sinus and Allergy Today
About 25% of the U.S. population are plagued with sinus and allergy symptoms. This translates to 60 million people in the United States alone. And the number is soaring due to increased pollution, urban sprawl and more resistance to antibiotics. Each year, Americans incur over $2.5 billion in direct sinus related medical care costs alone. Sinus symptoms can start out like a cold with a scratchy throat, stuffy nose, headache, cough, fever, and sinus pressure, but they may last longer and be impervious to some prescription drugs or over-the-counter medications.
Sinus congestion can be a miserable and annoying condition. It can be the temporary result of a common cold virus, seasonal allergies, or due to airborne fungi. Scientific studies have suggested there is a close relationship between hay fever and chronic sinus complaints. Untreated sinus symptoms may develop into more serious problems in the upper and lower airways.

Company Overview
Company Overview
Welcome to Peermont
Peermont Hotels, Casinos and Resorts is an award-winning hospitality and gaming company that operates in South Africa and Botswana. Peermont has an excellent track record in the design, development, management, ownership and operation of multi-faceted integrated resorts, including hotels, casinos, convention centres, retail centres, health spas, restaurants, bars and other sport and entertainment facilities.
Founded in April 1995 under the name Global Resorts, the Group's first project was the re-launch of the Sheraton hotel as The Grand Palm Hotel and Casino Resort in Botswana. This was followed by the official opening of the first official licensed casino in South Africa, Graceland Hotel, Casino and Country Club and the awarding of the Caesars Gauteng (now Emperors Palace) casino licence, both in 1998. The final phase of Caesars Gauteng was completed in 2000 and this was followed in 2002 by the opening of the Gaborone International Convention Centre (GICC) adjacent to The Grand Palm Resort.
In 2003, the company rebranded as Peermont Global and listed on the JSE and in the next two years, a new hotel at The Grand Palm was built and the hotel at San Lameer and two additional hotels in Botswana were purchased.
The buy-out of partner company Caesars Entertainment Inc. was finalised in 2005 and the rebranding process of Caesars Gauteng to Emperors Palace followed. An additional hotel was added to the Emperors Palace complex in early 2006 followed by acquisition of the controlling interest in Tusk Resorts including Tusk Mmabatho, Tusk Rio, Tusk Venda, Tusk Taung and Tusk Umfolozi.
In May 2007, the Mineworkers Investment Company (MIC) led a consortium that included management, community trusts and the founding BEE partners in a buy-out of Peermont valued at approximately R7.3 billion, the first and largest public to private BEE transaction in South Africa at the time. Peermont also delisted from the JSE.
Later that year Peermont took on two additional smaller casinos in Botswana. In 2008 the refurbishment of Tusk Venda was completed and the resort was rebranded as Khoroni Hotel Casino and Convention Resort. The hotel and convention centre were added to the Rio Hotel Casino and Convention Resort and a fourth hotel was added to the Emperors Palace complex in 2009, followed by the completion of the refurbishment of the Mmabatho Palms Hotel Casino and Convention Resort.
2009 also saw the re-development of the Entertainment Emporium at Emperors Palace and the construction of the new hotel and conference centre at Umfolozi, which opened in 2010.
The commencement of construction of the Thaba Moshate Hotel Casino Convention Resort in Burgersfort, Limpopo began in late 2013. Peermont has continued to invest in its properties, adding numerous facilities and upgrades during the journey.
Peermont's competitive status is driven by a strong, entrepreneurial management team, unique corporate values and a desire to succeed with exceptional service, high quality products, customer and staff stakeholder participation and incredible attention to detail. Peermont also respects and harnesses the traditions and support of local communities, and prides itself on its market-leading Corporate Social Investment ("CSI") initiatives in disadvantaged communities.
With its numerous awards, Peermont prides itself on providing destinations that guarantee relaxing stays and exciting times.

A beautiful quilt! And it is perfect in your daughter's room. Her room is beautiful. Banners would be so cute.ReplyDelete

I popped over from the purple is back birthday post..which made me smile as we have seven girls, and their favorites, from food to color, fluctuate and change like the weather. It must be the growing up thing they are doing. This quilt is truly lovely and she will cherish it for years to come. Just yesterday, I pulled from storage a quilt that my mother made for me when I was eleven. I still love it - much more now than then. Your blog is lovely and I will reading on. ~KellyReplyDelete
unDeniably Domestic

I was drooling over this quilt saying to myself "I need to make this for my daughters room...it would be perfect for the print I just bought to set the theme for her room," then I saw it....sarah jane!

I am in LOVE with this quilt! It is fantastic!ReplyDelete

At the end of a long day, Edward Elgar lit a cigar, sat at his piano and began to idle over the keys. To amuse his wife, the composer began to improvise a tune and played it several times, turning each reprise into a caricature of the way one of their friends might have played it. Thus was one born one of music's great works of original conception and Elgar's greatest hit: "Enigma Variations."Tuesday, Oct. 30 at 7:30 p.m., the Grand Junction Symphony presents "Across The Pond," an all-English composer concert featuring "Enigma Variations" and works by Mendelssohn and Walton. The evening also features 2011-2012 Young Artist Competition Winner Dan Fellows on viola performing Walton's "Viola Concerto."After its 1899 London premiere, "Enigma Variations" achieved popularity and was given international performances. The people portrayed in the variations include his wife, Alice, close friend and composer, Augustus J. Jaeger, and even Elgar himself. It has been arranged for various instruments. The enigma is not the identity of the persons portrayed, as those are known, but rather a hidden theme that is, in Elgar's words, "not played.""Variations" comprises of 14 small pieces ranging from a 33-second movement titled "W.M.B." about an English squire named William Meath Baker to a 3 1/2-minute movement titled "Nimrod" about his friend, Jaeger. Once, when Elgar had been very depressed and was about to give it all up and write no more music, Jaeger visited him and encouraged him to continue composing. He referred to Beethoven, who had a lot of worries, but wrote more and more beautiful music. "And that is what you must do," Jaeger said, and he sang the theme of the second movement of Beethoven's Piano Sonata No. 8 "Pathtique." Elgar disclosed to a friend that the opening bars of "Nimrod" were made to suggest that particular sonata.Music scholars have attempted to explain the musical themes within "Variations" to varied success. This hidden theme has been the subject of much speculation, and various musicians have proposed theories for what melody it could be, although Elgar did not say that it was a melody. The enigma could be something else, such as a symbol or a literary theme. Elgar accepted none of the solutions that were put forward in his lifetime, and, pleased with his little joke, took the secret with him to the grave. In 2007, a Dutch lexicographer claimed to have found a connection between the enigma and the Jaeger-Beethoven story above. In short, a constant theme consists throughout the entire piece of a nine-note rhythm of Edward Elgar's own name now usually referred to as the Elgar theme. So, like some works of Elgar's contemporaries Richard Strauss and Gustav Mahler, the "Enigma Variations," it seems, are about the artist himself.Although it can never be determined if "Enigma Variations" was composed with the sole intent of immortalizing his friends and loved ones or as a tribute to his own genius, it makes for a riveting background to a well-loved piece of English music.Prior to the Oct. 30 concert, the Grand Junction Symphony Guild is hosting a Wine & Tapas pre-concert event at 5:30 p.m. Enjoy appetizers and local wines all for $20 across the street from the Grand Junction High School auditorium at the First Congregational Church. And as a special treat Maestro Kirk Gustafson will present the first Classical Conversations lecture of the 35th season beginning at 6:30 p.m. in a room adjacent to the Wine & Tapas event.

As a fitness professional, it is always difficult to go into a gym and watch others exercise. Why? Because there is mistake after mistake being committed everywhere I look—some potentially dangerous, others, well, useless. I am not alone in my observations, either. I went to some of the top trainers in North America to see what they felt were some of the most frequently performed workout blunders, and here is what they had to say.
Absolutely Abominable Abs
No doubt about it—abdominal work won as being the exercise most often performed incorrectly. In my opinion, though, some of the blame for this lies with the fitness industry. In group fitness classes, instructors lead participants in an infinite number of crunches, or as personal trainer Tony Golden calls it, "750 ballistic crunches a minute, with a complete lack of form or any idea of what they are doing."
The first thing to pay attention to with ab work is form. "The solution is to slowly squeeze the abdominal muscles, while keeping [the low back] in contact with the floor or mat," instructs Golden. "I tell people to imagine they have a grapefruit between their chin and their chest, and that the goal is to lift their shoulders off the floor, maintain eye contact with the ceiling at all times, and keep their abdominal muscles tightened during both the lifting and lowering stages of the crunch."
"Work at a slow speed, and position the elbows parallel to the ears," adds Amanda Vogel, MA. "You will be less likely to pull on the head and neck." Placing the hands just behind the ears, rather than lacing the fingers together helps, too.
Susan Cantwell, , recommends that once you are able to perform 15-25 correct crunches with ease, then you can add weight, declines, and stability balls. (Not necessarily all at once, though!) "My recommendations? Lower the amount of mind numbing reps you perform, and increase the difficulty of each individual repetition," advises Cantwell.
The Funky Chicken
"It amazes me how people somehow manage to do three sets of biceps curls in ten seconds," says Golden. "Their arms look like pistons flying through each repetition faster than a humming bird flaps its wings!" Part of the problem with this is that you do not move through a full range of motion, and therefore, are not working the muscle to its peak.
Another problem is that when you move the weights, or even just your limbs, this quickly "you are using too much momentum and not enough muscle," explains Cantwell.
"My advice for these folks? Slow down!" exclaims Golden. If you are seated on a weight bench, exhale slowly as you bring the dumbbels toward your shoulders. Hold your position by keeping your back, shoulders and feet in place. Then inhale and slowly lower the dumbbells by returning the weights to their starting positions.
The Hercules Syndrome
Attempting to lift too much weight is a common mistake, especially among men—and one that is potentially quite dangerous. Three things happen:
- You have a tendency to jerk the weight up, placing a tremendous amount of strain on the joints.
- You do not move through a full range of motion.
- You are using momentum, not muscle.
Combine these errors together, and you have got a recipe for injury. If you do not know your maximum weight, ask a trainer to help you determine it.
The Big Y (for Yawn, That Is)
"This one is so common that I consider it one of the main reasons that people drop out of their fitness programs," says Cantwell. "When people do not see results from their efforts, they begin to lose interest, and the boredom factor comes into play."Consider making a change when you start to feel boredom creep in or if you are not seeing any progression toward your fitness goals.
How can you mix up it up? "If you have been doing the same cardio program for months, try intensifying your workouts by adding interval training," says Vogel. "And take a look at your resistance training exercises. Do you always gravitate to the same machines or exercises?" Vogel suggests making an appointment with a qualified personal trainer every so often to have him or her evaluate your program and show you alternatives to your usual routine.
The Herky-Jerky
Stetching has been somewhat controversial over the last few years. Do you stretch or not? Does it help or not? You do have a couple of options.
If you want to adapt the way you approach your workout, you can. According to Brian Cowen, there are two main mistakes people make when it comes to stretching: not warming up first, and stretching quickly and erratically. He advises not using stretching as the warm-up. "The best warm-up for a run [or other aerobic activity] is to start off slow, then pick up your speed. Prior to lifting weights, you should warm-up with 15-20 minutes of light cardio. Save your stretching for after the run or workout when your muscles are warm and pliable."
Spot Not!
Saddle bags, love handles, the old flapping wing under your arm…Think that by moving that specific trouble area you will magically make it disappear? Think again!
"Too often I have witnessed, especially women, still trying to spot reduce. They seem to neglect the body as a whole when they train, and want to set up programs designed to work specific areas only," says Amy Bomar.
Vogel recommends focusing on a total body conditioning program: cardio to burn fat, resistance training for all major muscle groups. "I really encourage people to avoid seeing body parts as problem areas," explains Vogel. "Instead, use fitness as a way to focus on the way your body moves and functions as a whole. Enjoy the experience of being fit!"
In addition to exercise, you may want to embark on a low-fat diet.
Learn the Proper Techniques
Take the time to learn correct exercise form and function before you hit the gym. Read fitness magazines, books, and websites. Set up an appointment with a personal trainer. Many clubs offer or even require new fitness members to receive instruction on the equipment before setting off on their own. Use this time to ask questions and really try out the equipment. Take notes and schedule a second, third, or fourth appointment if you have to. Before you know it, you will be an old pro.

--The study from the PETHEMA Group in Spain Says an Oral Treatment Regimen "Significantly Delayed Time to Progression" with an Overall Survival Benefit in High-Risk Smoldering Myeloma--
--Study Published in the Prestigious New England Journal of Medicine--
North Hollywood, CA, August 1, 2013 -- The International Myeloma Foundation (IMF) – improving the quality of life of myeloma patients while working toward prevention and a cure – today said a study just published in a major medical journal could change the way certain patients with early myeloma are treated. The standard of care for patients with smoldering myeloma – myeloma diagnosed so early there are no symptoms – is to wait and watch until symptoms occur. But a study just published in the New England Journal of Medicine concluded that early intervention and maintenance with a REVLIMID®-based regimen in patients with high-risk smoldering multiple myeloma "significantly delayed the time to progression to symptomatic disease, and resulted in an overall survival benefit."
"The challenge now is to identify which patients stand to benefit from these findings," said Brian G.M. Durie, M.D., Chairman and Co-founder of the IMF. "The study used specific bone marrow characteristics, protein secretions and other diagnostic criteria to identify high-risk patients. The International Myeloma Working Group, our global consortium of myeloma experts that includes some of the authors of this study, is now looking to further refine the criteria to determine which patients fit into this high-risk category that could be as much as 40 percent of asymptomatic patients."
Intervention at this early stage of myeloma is possible only with newer, more tolerable treatments. The study says previous attempts at treating smoldering myeloma with older therapies such as alkylating agents either were not effective or led to concerns about long-term toxicity.
"These findings might change when myeloma patients are treated, and also improve access to effective drugs," said Susie Novis, President and Co-founder of the IMF. "In Europe, where this study was conducted, this oral regimen is not approved as a first-line regimen for newly diagnosed patients. As a consequence, when patients in the study progressed to symptomatic myeloma and their role in the study ended, they could not be given this regimen. Our advocacy team is working to improve global access to effective therapies."
This open-label Phase 3 study involved 119 patients with high-risk smoldering myeloma – patients at risk of developing active myeloma. The group was split into an arm receiving treatment, with the other group just being observed, which is the standard of care. An evaluation three years into the study shows:
The study concludes, "this delay (in disease progression) translated into a significant overall survival benefit."
Dr. Durie added, "These findings tie directly into our Black Swan Research Initiative™. We believe these patients with early myeloma hold the key to understanding the progression of myeloma and, through our Black Swan program, will help us optimize treatment for patients at all stages of the disease."
Myeloma, also called multiple myeloma, is a cancer of cells in the bone marrow that affects production of red cells, white cells and stem cells and can damage bone. It is growing in numbers and affecting increasingly younger people.
Celebrating its 22nd anniversary, the International Myeloma Foundation reaches more than 215,000 members in 113 countries worldwide. A 501 (c) 3 non-profit organization dedicated to improving the quality of life of myeloma patients and their families, the IMF focuses on four key areas: research, education, support, and advocacy. To date, the IMF has conducted more than 250 educational seminars worldwide, maintains a world-renowned hotline, and established the International Myeloma Working Group (IMWG), a collaborative research initiative focused on improving myeloma treatment options for patients. The IMF can be reached at (800) 452-CURE (2873). The global website is www.myeloma.org.

After the success of the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge, some very special myeloma patients and supporters got together to create a fun campaign designed around myeloma awareness. The goal was to make myeloma more well known around the globe, bringing communities together to fight for a cure. The #MamboforMyeloma initiative asks patients, caregivers, doctors, friends, family members, and groups to film themselves dancing and share a donation link for the cause. You don't have to be an amazing dancer; the spirit is what is important. With #MamboforMyeloma, myeloma patients have the power to be seen and heard, initiating change and sharing their stories. The IMF supports #MamboforMyeloma and encourages you to share your photos and videos, as well as to donate here: https://online.myeloma.org/netcommunity/MamboforMyeloma
Laughter rocked the Wilshire Ebell Theatre in Los Angeles on Saturday, November 8th, when guests and stars gathered in support of the IMF's 8th Annual Comedy Celebration benefiting the Peter Boyle Research Fund and supporting the Black Swan Research Initiative®. Comedians and actors including host Ray Romano, Patricia Heaton, Doris Roberts, Danny DeVito, and Lesley Nicol, among many others, presented a special version of "Celebrity Autobiography," performing hilarious readings of segments of stars' autobiographies. The night also brought excitement for auction winners who left with items including luxury vacations, signed sports memorabilia, and even a teddy bear handcrafted and donated by a myeloma patient. The performers had the audience in stitches and the event raised funds for critical myeloma research – we'd call that a big success!
To all of the fine men and women who have dedicated their lives to serving our country we offer our heartfelt thanks and best wishes for a Happy Veterans Day!
The briefing, along with the messages of support we received from the larger patient community, exposed the need for further assistance to those who might have health concerns in the wake of this national tragedy. Because of those concerns and obvious need, we have created two guides to assist those who were exposed to the hazards at Ground Zero. The guides pertain to the two programs; the World Trade Center Health Program and the September 11th Victim Compensation Fund.
In this episode of #AskDrDurie, Dr. Brian Durie of the IMF answers a myeloma patient's question about taking a supplement like vitamin B12 on the same day as Velcade.

The International Myeloma Foundation (IMF) – improving the quality of life of myeloma patients while working toward prevention and a cure – today celebrates Maine's Oral Anticancer Treatment Access Law taking effect. The law directs health benefit plans that provide coverage for cancer chemotherapy treatment to extend coverage for orally administered anticancer medications at a cost equal to the cost of intravenously administered or injected anticancer medications.
This booklet is devoted to two tests used in the diagnosis and monitoring of myeloma, the serum free light chain assay (Freelite®) and the serum heavy/light chain assay (Hevylite®). Since Freelite and Hevylite are independent biomarkers of disease activity, it is important to monitor patients with both tests.
Binding Site, a Birmingham, UK, based In-Vitro clinical diagnostic company, is pleased to announce that it has been chosen as an important diagnostic partner in the Black Swan 'cure myeloma' Research Initiative, sponsored by the International Myeloma Foundation (IMF).
Imnovid (pomalidomide), called Pomalyst in the US, was recently approved for reimbursement in Sweden, Spain, and Switzerland. Myeloma patients in these countries who have exhausted all other therapeutics will now have access to Imnovid through their government health programs. "Through our Black Swan Research Initiative®, the IMF is working to find a cure for myeloma," said Susie Novis, "but in the meantime we are pleased to see that new innovative treatments are becoming available to more patients worldwide, and the IMF continues to fight for patients where access is not yet available."
The International Myeloma Foundation (IMF) – improving the quality of life of myeloma patients while working toward prevention and a cure – applauds Gov. John Kasich of Ohio for signing SB 99, The Cancer Treatment Modernization Act, into law. The bill requires that health plans regulated by the state that provide coverage for IV and oral anticancer treatments not exceed $100 copayment or coinsurance for a 30-day supply of orally administered anticancer treatment.

Every voice makes a difference. Many voices make change!
At the IMF, we know that to make a difference we must all come together and do what we can. With enough voices, we can improve the quality of life for myeloma patients by advocating for more research funding, insisting on quality health care, and educating the communities around us on this deadly disease. Whether you are a patient, caregiver, doctor, nurse, or friend, your voice and your story make a difference!
The International Myeloma Foundation (IMF) applauds Kentucky Gov. Steve Beshear for signing HB 126 (The Cancer Treatment Modernization Act) into law. The bill requires health plans regulated by the state that provide coverage for IV and oral anticancer treatments- to not exceed $100 copayment or coinsurance for a 30-day supply of orally administered anticancer treatment.
Today in Milwaukee cancer patient advocates, including myeloma Support Group members Linda Chowa and Mary Sandberg, at right, looked on as Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker signed the Cancer Treatment Fairness Act (SB 300) into law, making Wisconsin the 30th state to enact anticancer drug parity legislation. "This bill shows that our voices do indeed make a difference, because SB 300 was on its deathbed just three weeks ago, and today it is law," said Sue Enright, Midwest Director of Support Groups for the International Myeloma Foundation. "Thank you to every patient, family member, friend, healthcare professional and advocate who relentlessly stood with us throughout this long journey, and to our Wisconsin legislators who voted in favor of the bill."

Easy Easter Decorations
Banded eggs
Place rubber bands around eggs before dipping in dye to create pretty linear designs.
Spring greeting
A clear cookie jar shows off a mix of dyed eggs and a medley of flowers united by their color.
Start with a large-mouth cookie jar or canister, a clear drinking glass that fits inside the jar, dyed hard-cooked eggs and flowers. Center the drinking glass inside the jar and carefully stack the eggs between the glass and jar, alternating egg colors. Fill the glass with water.
Cut the stems of your favorite flowers (we used roses, gerbera daisies, tulips, hyacinths and bells of Ireland) to the desired length and arrange them in the glass.
Easter spirit
Trade traditional bunnies for stylish birds on your brunch table.
For the centerpiece, tuck eggs into a nest of dried moss from a crafts store. Arrange it inside a birdcage. Accent with short twigs. Pink blossoms (in floral water picks) and gingham ribbon finish the look.
For the place setting, layer pink gingham and cream ribbons over a napkin. Tuck ends under plates, and top with a vintage or reproduction bird postcard and a single rose.
A bird-theme stamp and ink pad make a coordinating take-home gift. Wrap the ink pad in scrapbooking paper. Nestle items in a ceramic mug or paper bag stuffed with dried moss and faux feathers. Attach a name card with ribbon.
Nest of eggs
A handful of dyed eggs and some easy-to-find carnations create a quick, fun spring centerpiece.
Nestle dyed eggs in a small bowl and set in the center of a medium-size footed bowl (prop bowl on a dish if necessary). Fill the footed bowl with a few inches of water. Cut carnation stems about 2 or 3 inches long, and pack the blooms around the bowl of eggs.
Dyed eggs in grass
For a simple yet eyecatching look, fill a footed bowl with Easter grass or dried moss (from a crafts store), dyed eggs and small egg-shape candy.
Hats off
Improvise an Easter basket using a sweet straw hat. Fill it with softly colored eggs, either hollowed or artificial. Personalize with rub-on letters or even notes tucked inside, if you're using hollowed eggs.
To empty an egg, use a long needle to gently prick a small hole into each of the egg's two ends. Pierce the yolk with the needle and then gently blow into one hole, pushing the contents out the other end.
Easy patterned eggs
Give Easter eggs more than a dye job using a colorful, patterned washi tape, a paperlike product that originated in Japan. (We ordered our perky pink and blue patterns from cutetape.com). Cut 1-inch and 1/2-inch pieces to create a patchwork effect, or snip thin strips to apply vertically.
Stress-free taping For easy trimming, stick a piece of washi tape to a cutting mat. With a utility knife and ruler, cut to desired size and shape. Tape easily peels off the mat to stick to eggs.
Egg-cellent wreath
Decorate plastic eggs with washi paper or decoupaged fabric strips. Poke a hole with an awl, then string on wire for a bright note on the front door.
Cheery trifle
A glass vase or trifle dish filled with layers of dyed eggs and greenery elevates the spring table.
Bowlful of bright
For a fast centerpiece, simply fill a plain bowl with eggs you've decorated with crafts stickers or rickrack.
Cheerful candleholder
Elevate your decorated eggs and transform any candleholder with this simple centerpiece. Consider a silver candelabra or brass candlesticks. If necessary, use tacky wax to secure the eggs.
Simple egg display
Create a quick-and-easy centerpiece by mounding hard-cooked brown and white eggs on a garden of lettuce in a footed china compote. Vary the look by using colored or even chocolate eggs, or by trying ferns or other greens instead of lettuce.
Flower power
Make every egg a star by propping each in its own mini terra-cotta pot.
Dress up the planter by hot-gluing ribbon around the top edge. To decorate basic white eggs, add scrapbooking stickers. These cute paper flowers are easy to wrap around curved edges.
Sparkly Easter eggs
Pretty up your candlesticks by displaying glittery Easter eggs.
To decorate eggs, take a damp sponge and coat an egg with white glue. Pour ultra fine glitter into a bowl (or use a paper coffee filter) and roll the egg in it. Ensure all spots are completely covered. Let the egg sit in the glitter until it's dry.
Chocolate bunny surprise
Pick up large chocolate bunnies from the supermarket for sweet table settings. Place a bunny with a pretty place card at each place on the table.
Touch of grass
Cover the bottom of eggs with bright green "grass" cut from tissue or origami paper and glued to eggs. Then place eggs in egg cups or candlesticks (silver, glass, ceramic—they all look great). Add a craft-punched butterfly to finish the look.
Lacy eggs
Add pretty designs to your Easter eggs using lace trim, lace scraps, doilies, or Japanese washi tape (fabric-like masking tape) decorated with a craft punch.
Pastel hues
These muted Easter eggs radiate calm with subtle colors. Tuck them in a basket filled with pink paper confetti.
Sinuous charmer
Snake a garland of dyed eggs along the middle of the table for an enticing look. Thread plastic or blown-and-dyed eggs.
Beautiful Easter basket
These lavish butterflies add spring spirit to any basket.
To make butterflies, print butterfly images from royalty-free clip art. Be sure to print two copies of each. Glue designs back-to-back so they're double-sided. If you like, spray with adhesive, sprinkle with glitter and let dry. Glue a few butterflies on each basket.
Under glass
A family photo, silver antiques, a childhood drawing combine for a sentimental scene. A pop of purple blooms and greenery draw eyes.

76.5 x 63.7 cm
Collection of the Winnipeg Art Gallery; Gift of Dr. Harold and Peg Mitchell
At the height of his artistic career, Henry Raeburn was the first Scottish artist to achieve an international reputation, his closest rival being Allan Ramsay. From his humble background as an orphan at George Heriot's Hospital in Edinburgh, Raeburn eventually secured his place as one of the most sought-after portrait painters in Scotland. Between 1798 and 1810, Raeburn exhibited regularly at the Royal Academy in London. In 1812 he was elected President of the Society of Artists in Scotland and was knighted by George IV (1762–1830) in 1822. In this Portrait of a Lady, Raeburn's prowess as a gifted portraitist is confirmed, particularly in his ability to capture the personality or essence of the subject. The use of light and shadow, highlighting rich fabrics and textures, conveys a warmth and immediacy to the picture.

May I ask why it was nessesary to re-ordain?
I hope that you aren't going to be too wet during rains, otherwise you could catch a cold or worse. Pending the kutis aren't there any decent tents there? It seems to be very out-in-the-open.

How does re-ordaining affect monk seniority? Are you for all intents and purposes considered a 'new' monk?

U.S. Representative Allyson Y. Schwartz is currently serving her fifth term representing Pennsylvania's 13th Congressional District. The 13th District includes the close-knit neighborhoods of Northeast and North Philadelphia and much of the eastern portion of Montgomery County.
Labeled a "rising star" by POLITICO, Schwartz is an influential figure in Congress, playing a central role in debates on the economy, health care, the federal budget, and tax policy. Congressional Quarterly describes her as "one of the Democrats' leading health care experts," and as the sole female member of Pennsylvania's congressional delegation, the Philadelphia Daily News praises her as a "local trailblazer" for women in politics.
As a centrist Member of Congress, Schwartz is recognized for her commitment to finding effective, bipartisan solutions to fix our economy, improve the quality of life for Pennsylvania families and communities, and make our nation more secure.
Schwartz currently serves on two committees in Congress: the Budget Committee and the Ways and Means Committee, which has jurisdiction over federal tax policy, Medicare, and Social Security.
As the Vice Ranking Member of the House Budget Committee, Schwartz has distinguished herself as a vocal proponent of fiscal discipline and responsible budgeting since her appointment in 2005. The Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget praised the Congresswoman for her fiscal responsibility and thanked her for being open to compromise and putting the nation's fiscal interest above politics.
In the 113th Congress, Schwartz was reappointed to the powerful House Committee on Ways and Means where she will work to grow the economy, strengthen the middle class and meet our obligations to our seniors and our future in a way that is fair, balanced and fiscally responsible. The Congresswoman will work with her colleagues to ensure the solvency of Medicare and Social Security and enact smart tax policy that strengthens the middle class and makes the right investments in education and innovation to strengthen our economic competitiveness.
As the only Jewish member in Pennsylvania's Congressional Delegation, Schwartz has a deep and personal commitment to strengthening America's relationship with Israel and promoting ties between the two democratic nations. She serves as a member of the Democratic Israel Working Group and the U.S.-Israel Security Caucus.
Since 2009, Schwartz has served as Vice Chair of the moderate New Democrat Coalition, which proposes centrist, smart, and innovative policies to encourage economic growth and opportunity in America. She has consistently worked with business leaders to develop proposals and policies that create jobs and allow small businesses to thrive in our global economy. Schwartz is also co-chair of the New Democrat Coalition Health Care Task Force.
Schwartz's first piece of legislation, which was enacted into law in 2007, offers tax credits to businesses that hire veterans returning from active duty. These credits have helped ease the process of returning home for members of our armed forces and show our gratitude for their service.
As a leader on health care policy, Schwartz has played a significant role in strengthening primary care; improving access to quality, affordable coverage for all Americans; ensuring coverage for children with pre-existing conditions; and strengthening benefits for seniors. Most recently, Schwartz has taken the lead on reforming the Medicare physician payment system to protect seniors' access to their doctors, provide physicians with stability and certainty, and improve quality and efficiency while driving down costs in Medicare.
Schwartz is founder and Co-Chair of the Healthcare Innovation Task Force, which brings together health care leaders in Congress to advance and promote innovations in the health care system. As founder and Co-Chair of the Academic Medicine Caucus, Schwartz is a vocal advocate for academic medical centers and works closely with medical schools, teaching hospitals, and health care organizations in Pennsylvania.
Schwartz serves on the Livable Communities Task Force, to promote sustainable communities that improve the quality of life for residents, bring economic development to our neighborhoods, and make our communities a safer and healthier environment for our children. In Pennsylvania, Schwartz has secured funding to revitalize the Delaware riverfront, renovate Dilworth Plaza in Philadelphia, improve SEPTA stations in her district, create bike and pedestrian paths throughout the Commonwealth, and bolster Main Street districts in Lansdale, Ambler and Jenkintown.
Prior to her service in Congress, Schwartz was a leading healthcare executive in Philadelphia. From 1990 to 2004, she served as a member of the Pennsylvania State Senate, where she was considered one of the most accomplished legislators for her ability to forge bipartisanship relationships. She earned a B.A. from Simmons College in Sociology and a Masters of Social Work from Bryn Mawr College. She is married with two grown sons and one granddaughter
Schwartz cites the influences of her father, a Korean War veteran, and her mother, a Holocaust survivor, as the source of her commitment to public service. These personal family experiences compel her to be a strong advocate for veterans and their families and to fight for foreign and domestic policies that build democracy, security, and opportunity for all Americans.

|So why don't Troi and Geordi know instantly that Juliana is an android? Troi's empathic sense should give the game away, and Geordi should see the glow around her as he did Data in "Heart of Glory".
Tainer claims that the solidification of the core has affected the gravity of the planet. This is nonsensical; the only things affecting the gravity of a planet are the mass and diameter. Unless the solidification is actually changing the mass of the planet, or making it shrink or balloon up, then there would be no effect at all on gravity.
|Great Moment :
|The revelation of the truth about Data's mother.
|Body Count :
When Data meets the wife of his creator, he is reluctant to take her at face value. And so he should be, as it turns out.
A very good twist rescues another "Data's past" episode.

SYRACUSE, N.Y. -- SUNY ESF soccer players are doing all they can to honor a fellow teammate who was diagnosed with leukemia. They hosted a bone marrow drive on the ESF campus in Syracuse Wednesday.
Potential donors were able to get their cheek swabbed and have their name put on the bone marrow registry.
ESF student and soccer player Kevan Busa was diagnosed with leukemia in the spring. Since he was diagnosed, he received a bone marrow transplant and is currently recovering.
Organizers say they hope the drive inspires others to donate.
"I think that they should just think about if it was them that was battling a disease and they needed someone, they would want someone to do it for them. Or someone that they love, whether it's a family member or a really close friend. You want to be able to save their lives. So I think everyone should really be put on the registry," said ESF senior Kelsey Taylor.
If you want to sign up for the Be the Match Registry or want to learn more information about donating, visit www.bethematch.org.

Director PPD American Portfolios
Jim Ewins
|The Pictorial Print Division (PPD) has three "Study Groups." The three Study Groups are called "Portfolios," and include the American Portfolios, the Portrait Portfolios, and the Canadian Portfolios. A portfolio is a collection of prints made by a small group of about 8-10 PSA members who enjoy sharing their print work with photographers having similar interests.
OPEN: Open to any kind or type of print: any subject matter - no restrictions - anything goes.
RESTRICTED: Most portfolios are of the restricted type designed to meet the specific interests of the photographers making up the group. For example some portfolios accept only color prints and others only monochrome. Some are for self-made and others are for commercially made prints.
SELF-MADE: Prints created in a darkroom or with a computer by the photographer.
COMMERCIALLY-MADE: Prints created by another person either in a commercial darkroom or by computer.
DARKROOM PRINTED (P): The print is created by chemical means using a darkroom and light sensitive materials.
COMPUTER PRINTED (CMP): The original image would be exposed on light-sensitive material (film or electronic), and printed with an ink jet or similar printer.
MONOCHROME OR COLOR: Restricted to either monochrome or color; some groups accept both.
PRINT SIZE: Maximum size restrictions may be 8x10, 8x12, 8 1/2 x 11, or 11x14.
REGIONAL PORTFOLIOS: These portfolios are for members residing in a particular geographic area and are open to any format. There are two regional portfolios: Greater Northeast Regional (GNER) and Greater Northwest Regional (GNWR).
ASSIGNED SUBJECT (ASG): The subjects are selected in advance and the members submit images that fit the assignment.
NATURE (Nat): The subject matter is limited to nature subjects (e.g., landscapes, seascapes, wildlife, plant life). The American Portfolio Nature prints do not conform to the PSA Nature definition (e.g., cloning is accepted, hand of man is not considered).
Most portfolios have assigned Commentators who are experienced photographers and printmakers. They evaluate each member's work, make constructive comments for improvement, and issue awards for particularly fine prints.
There is no fee for this activity. PSA Membership is required.
To enroll in an American Portfolio, complete the Enrollment Form or send an email to the American Portfolios Enrollment Director: email@example.com. After signing up for one of the American Portfolios, members are placed on the list to receive the portfolio at the next round.

I always bought the cheapest gloves I could find because I thought, "It's just a glove". Before a fancy golf vacation I splurged on this glove and I will never go back. The feel is super, the fit is perfect, and the durabaility is actually better than most other gloves I have tried. You won't be sorry with this glove.
I get my Titleist gloves for about $13.50 for a single glove! The one with the black on the front of the Titleist glove is the same price as the all white Titleist gloves! I know it's online and it cost a little more, but that's alot for one glove! Just my opinion! I do buy alot from global golf! They have great stuff!
