Three Asian countries' lanterns can show all the characteristics of oriental lantern, they are Chinese lanterns, Japanese lanterns, and Indian lanterns.
Chinese lanterns are the most famous lantern in the world, it's also the most wildly used lanterns, generally used for the Lantern Festivals, and outdoor decoration, Chinese lanterns are made with silk and nylon material generally. When we talk about Chinese lantern, the red color and festive atmosphere are the first impression.
Japnese lanterns are the most used as the landscape in the garden or near the night store's signs, Japaneese lanterns are made with paper and stone generally. Japanese lanterns is very popular in the word for it' can be made very easily. When we talk about Japansese lanterns, the round and oval-shaped paper lanterns and the stone landscape lantern in quiet garden are the first impression.
Indian lanterns are full of religious element, they usually made with cloth, decorated with various patterns such like triangular and square, it's not very popular in the world for it's hard to be made.

Burma - Shipping Bibles to Kachin
Country/Region: Myanmar, Burma, South and East Asia
Bibles are immensely precious to Christians in Burma, many of whom lost everything when they fled the violence of the Burmese army. Kachin Christians are a persecuted minority in Burma and many are living in displaced people's camps. This new year 2013, the Burmese army has been attacking the Kachin people again, and more than 100,000 Kachin have fled, 10,000 of them to China. This project transports tens of thousands of Bibles to Kachin Christians in their own language. It costs between 63 and 55 pence to transport a Bible to a Kachin Christian.

St. Thomas More Academy just got a really big gift.
Principal Margaret Lyburn called it a "gift from God" when a Florida businessman donated the former Catoctin Inn & Conference Center to the academy.
"We were shocked," Lyburn said Friday. "I mean, who does that?"
After a short search for a new campus location, school officials announced Friday plans to move into two buildings given to them by Sandy Lankler.
Lankler is the owner of Alexander's at Buckeystown, a restaurant adjacent to the school's new location on Buckeystown Pike.
The restaurant is not closing, but a bed-and-breakfast next to it shut down a while ago.
Lankler, who worked as a lawyer in Washington, now lives in Florida, where he works with the Wounded Warrior program, said restaurant manager Walter McClure.
Lankler wanted to make Buckeystown a Wounded Warrior program location, but his plans did not work out, leaving him with an unused property, McClure said.
When Lankler heard there was a school looking for a property, his plans to give back to those in need found an outlet.
"He's just a guy who wants to give back," McClure said.
Lankler's donation came as a surprise to school officials, who were searching for a new building after the academy sold its old property at 3989 Buckeystown Pike to St. John's Catholic Prep high school in December.
"They needed a larger building and we had one," Lyburn said, noting that St. John's made them an offer they could not refuse.
In December, the academy formed a building committee after its building was sold and the Catoctin Inn & Conference Center was added to a list of possibilities, even though it was not on the market.
"It was not for sale, but they were a neighbor of ours," Lyburn said of Lankler's property.
Education environment experts checked out the building and told school officials that it would be a good location for a new campus, said Ajay R. Patil, president of the academy's board of directors.
"It is absolutely the right space for us," Patil said.
The former conference center will be used as administrative offices and educational space.
Only minor renovations are needed because the space already met a lot of academy needs, according to Patil, who said those savings will be passed along to students.
"I can absolutely say we saw the Holy Spirit at work," Patil said.
The donation will allow the academy to reduce tuition costs. In this case, no property payments means lower overhead costs for the school.
"The faculty and I are especially happy that through this generous gift, we are able to continue all of our current programs, add some new ones, and lower our tuition all at the same time," Lyburn said in a statement Friday.
Students are expected to start school at the former Catoctin Inn & Conference Center in August.
By then, the two buildings will be connected as a part of a construction project.
In addition, sports fields and a playground are to be installed outdoors.
"This new campus is a charming, inspiring reserve for teaching and learning. We look forward to seeing our campus come alive with the wonder of children eager to learn and grow together with nature," Lyburn said in a statement.
There is also a possibility that Alexander's at Buckeystown could assist with the academy's meal program for students.
"We are here and we are in the food and beverage business. I am sure there is a way we could work that out," McClure said.

Welcome back to Turn It Up Tuesdays everyone. Every week I bring a few artists to the forefront that you might not know about. Check these guys out and show them some love.
Santa Barbara, CA natives Ethan Davis and Josie Martin AKA Candyland began producing together back in April of 2011. Since then, they have been dropping some of the hottest remixes around. These two have a knack for taking a track and making it sound completely their own. Your gonna love Candyland — Yes, the co-ed electronic music group, not the board game! The first track is their colossal entry into the remix contest for Skrillex & Damian Marley's track "Make It Bun Dem."

Dirtyphonics consists of four members from Paris, France. They have blown up in the last couple years, gaining praise for their work from some of the best in the game including Pete Tong, Sub Focus, Chase & Status, Flux Pavilion and Datsik. They have done remixes for the likes of Nero and The Crystal Method and have been released on many major record labels including MTA, Dim Mak, and Ultra. With an emphasis on dubstep, drumstep, and pretty much all things bass, get yourself ready for some heavy low-end. If you don't know about Dirtyphonics, then it's about time you learned.

Preston Chin aka Robotaki is from Montreal, Canada. This young producer is coming up with some amazing electro-pop, nu-disco funk. He has remixed artists such as DJ Shadow, Penguin Prison and Popular Computer. His track "Prestonsphere" sounds like a smooth mixture of Justice and The M Machine. There is no doubt in my mind that we will see Robotaki taking the stage in huge places in the near future. Enjoy!

When it comes to using diabetes technology like insulin pumps and continuous glucose monitors, we need all the help we can get — because figuring out the nitty-gritty of fine-tuning our basal rates, using advanced features like dual wave boluses, and troublshooting sick days and time zones ain't easy.
We've previously brought you reviews of such fine works as Pumping Insulin and Beyond Fingersticks (by the 'Mine's own Wil Dubois!), and today we're introducing a new guidebook from one of the country's preeminent endocrinologists, Dr. Francine Kaufman, the Chief Medical Officer for Medtronic Diabetes and a leading endo for more than 20 years. Her new book, titled Insulin Pumps and Continuous Glucose Monitoring: A User's Guide to Effective Diabetes Management, is a slim, easy-to-read guide to these essential D-tech tools.
I was excited to see what Dr. Kaufman had to say about using them as effectively as possible. Unfortunately, I felt a bit let down.
My perception is that this book is very much a beginner's guide. A thorough, well-written beginner's guide, to be sure, but I did not find anything particularly impressive about the book, when compared to the previous books mentioned. Dr. Kaufman hits all the necessary points, such as how pumps work, explanations of features like bolus calculators and basal rates, and how insulin pumps can be used while exercising and traveling. But the prose had a very Wikipedia-feel to it. I didn't hear her voice as a person or an empathetic caregiver come through.
Note that Dr. Kaufman was careful to stay completely unbiased in recommending pumps, despite the fact that she holds an executive role in the world's leading pump company. Whenever an image of Medtronic's products was shown, an Animas pump and Omnipod were right next to it, keeping the playing field even.
What struck me was that the sections that explain how to calculate your basal rate and how to figure out your correction factor were concise and easy to understand — but maybe a little too concise. I kept wondering who the intended audience for this book was: People who already use insulin pumps? Or people who are thinking about using insulin pumps? Most of the information was basic enough that you would find a lot of it in the user manual of your insulin pump product. The chapter on continuous glucose monitors explains what a CGM is and what's involved in wearing it, but there's little explanation of how to effectively use it. Bummer. That's what I was looking for, of course! The book seems designed more as an explanation of what these devices are, rather than a workbook to help you better use them and customize your own settings.
Because the American Diabetes Association published this book, we have to consider that many of the explanations needed to be brief and also broad enough to avoid the appearance of making any personal medical recommendations, and also fit within all the general ADA guidelines.
In short, I felt that the title was a bit of a misnomer: while it is a thorough guide to what the technology is, it didn't seem specifically designed to teach effective diabetes management at all.
For anyone considering starting on an insulin pump or CGM, this is a great little volume to give you an overview of what you're getting yourself into. The in-depth explanations of device tweaking in Pumping Insulin and Beyond Fingersticks, on the other hand, might even be a bit too much information for some people.
The upshot is that Dr. Kaufman's book will give you just enough basic info about these devices to understand what they are and what they do, without overwhelming you with homework assignments (especially good if you are already working closely with a diabetes educator). But if you're already on an insulin pump or CGM, there are more detailed, more useful workbooks that can help you optimize your use of the technology.
"Insulin Pumps and Continuous Glucose Monitoring: A User's Guide to Effective Diabetes Management" is available on Amazon for $15.88.

During Mass today, the Father reminded us of our Catholic and Christian accomplishments and the need and privelge of their defense.
I don't recognize the art work attached to this mini post, Mr Martin. But, I am pleased and grateful to see the Blessed Virgin Mary leading. Thank you.October 10, 2011 - 10:11 am Link to this Comment | Reply

That's Salvador Dalí's Discovery of America by Christopher Columbus.
In the bottom center of the painting, on the beach a few steps in front of Columbus, is the bumpy and pockmarked brown sphere of a sea urchin with a curious halo-like ring around it. A story is told that Morse objected to this object on artistic grounds, and suggested that Dalí paint over it. Dalí insisted that it was an important element in the painting, and that Morse needed to contemplate it to understand. Morse reluctantly agreed, but never did think much about the sea urchin until 10 years later, when he was watching the Apollo 11 Moon landing on television, and he came to a sudden realization. He immediately telephoned Dalí to excitedly tell him that he now understood that the sea urchin represented other planets that young America would explore in the tradition of Columbus. Dalí replied curtly, "Yes, of course. It took you this long to figure it out? Incredible! Now I must get back to work", and hung up on Morse.October 10, 2011 - 8:11 pm Link to this Comment | Reply
Dali? Really. I would not have guessed that from what little I know of his other works. That is a wonderful anecdote about the sea urchin, too. Thanks for sharing that fact, too.
I did some of my own checking after seeing the Dali piece. How could I have forgotten that Columbus ship was the Santa Maria? Reputedly named for the El Puerto de Santa Maria. How wonderful to have started out from the port of the Blessed Virgin Mary. It was reported that at the close of their first day in the new world the soldiers and sailors sang Salve Regina (Hail Holy Queen) Salve, Regina, mater misericordiae.
Thanks again for the history AND art lesson. I appreciate it.October 11, 2011 - 8:47 am Link to this Comment | Reply

Look into more later Dalí. He got over the melting watches and unibuttock-on-crutch phase to remind us that he was a brilliant classically-trained painter. The Hypercube Crucifixion is another incredible painting.October 11, 2011 - 6:59 pm Link to this Comment | Reply

A Year Ago...
Since I have yet to find another use for my wedding dress (except for wearing it around the house, which I plan to do one day), I thought I'd put it to work on z blog. As I sit here eating my unfrozen wedding cake topper with my lovely husband, I can think of a lot of things I loved about my wedding, because it was pretty damn perfect, but top of the list would definitely be all the people that were there. If there was one thing I learned from the whole experience, it's that weddings are the best excuse to have everyone you love all in one place!
I love this dress so damn much. It is Carolina Herrera-designed and the overlay is Spanish mesh, which I love because it is very soft and gives a vintage feel.
I love Dusty Miller.
Note to future brides: long veils are great UNLESS faced with gale-force winds on wedding day.
There are a lot of funny things going on in this pic.
We had a pretty hott wedding party.
FYI, I have no idea where or how they got these beers so quickly.
Best group photo ever.
Fragrance ad, right?
This never would have been so beautiful without the magic of Allison Jackson of Pineapple Productions. Best wedding planner in existence, as far as I'm concerned. She was so helpful and amazing, I can't even imagine having such an incredible event without her hand in it. And all photos are by the most talented Holland Photo Arts.

Industry giant Carnival today announced the fire-damaged Carnival Splendor will be out of service for repairs for the next two months.
The line says it is canceling all voyages on the 3,006-passenger ship through the departure of Jan. 9, 2011. The vessel will reenter service on Jan. 16, 2011.
The cancellations leave thousands of people who had expected to spend the busy Christmas and New Year's holiday period on the ship scrambling to make alternative plans. In all, more than 20,000 vacationers will be affected.
Carnival says it is contacting travel agents and passengers on the canceled sailings and providing assistance in finding alternate cruises.
"We realize how much guests look forward to their vacations and know that they are very disappointed by this news," Carnival president and CEO Gerry Cahill says in a statement. "We too are disheartened that we are not able to fulfill the dreams of those who have entrusted us with their important vacation plans."

POLL: Does Splendor incident change your view of cruising?
In the statement, Cahill apologized for the cancellations.
Carnival says passengers who were scheduled to sail on the canceled voyages will receive a full refund of their cruise fare and air transportation costs, along with a 25% discount on a future cruise.
Carnival Splendor was towed to San Diego following the fire, which occurred off the Mexican coast on Nov. 8 and left the ship dead in the water. Representatives from the U.S. Coast Guard, National Transportation Safety Board and Panama, as well as Carnival engineers and technicians, currently are on board investigating the fire's cause, the line says. The Splendor is registered in Panama.
The line did not say what areas of the ship needed repairs or reveal details on the extent of the damage, though executives previously have said the incident involved the ship's aft engine room.
In its statement, Carnival says personnel from the ship are being assisted by representatives of the shipyard that built the vessel and other manufacturers of engine room components in assessing damage and necessary repairs.
In a separate announcement, Carnival's publicly traded parent company, Carnival Corp. (NYSE: CCL), said the incident would cost the firm about 7 cents per share -- or $56 million based on Carnival's roughly 800 million shares outstanding.
The Carnival Splendor is one of 22 ships in the Carnival fleet.
Cruise Loggers, share your thoughts below.
UPDATE, 4:45 PM ET: Carnival spokesman Vance Gulliksen tells USA TODAY the areas on the Splendor damaged in last week's incident that are in need of repair are its aft engine room and switchboard rooms.

Baby at Rocky Mountain Hospital for Children at P/SL recovering from infant botulism
DENVER - A five-month old is on a breathing machine at Rocky Mountain Hospital for Children at P/SL after contacting a rare disease called infant botulism.
Keona Hinkel has been in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit since January 2.
Hinkel's mother, Kari, told doctors she noticed Keona wasn't eating as normal and the little girl seemed very tired on Jan. 1.
When Kari took Keona to the doctor's office the next day, the doctor told her to immediately take the baby to the emergency room.
At Sky Ridge Hospital, Keona stopped breathing and doctors intubated her.
She was taken by Airlife to Rocky Mountain Hospital for Children at P/SL.
Hospital officials said a pediatric neurologist, Dr. Benjamin Ross, was the first to suspect botulism. Doctors treated Keona with Botulism Immune Globulin and she is improving.
Infant botulism is rare. In 2010, the Centers for Disease Control reported 85 cases of infant botulism and in 2009 there were 84 confirmed cases, according to PS/L.
According to the National Institutes of Health, risk factors include swallowing honey as a baby, being around contaminated soil, and having less than one stool per day for a period greater than 2 months.
The Hinkel family said there are the two possible situations that could have led to Keona's botulism.
- Spores in dust and dirt -- Keona and her parents were at a relative's house under renovation. They were in an area being worked on and the exposure could have happened at that time.
- Indirect honey exposure – Kari was cooking with honey and it could have been on the counter or on Kari's hands and then passed onto Keona. Kari is breastfeeding and she did not directly feed Keona honey.
The NIH said symptoms include:
- Breathing stops or slows
- Constipation
- Eyelids sag or partially close
- Infant appears "floppy"
- Infant doesn't gag
- Loss of head control
- Paralysis that spreads downward
- Poor feeding and weak suckling
- Respiratory failure
- Tired all the time (lethargy)
- Weak cry

The Paleo(s®) Trend
Paleo lifestyle is not a trend - it's a realization!
Over millions of years humans have evolved into what we are today. Our genes will be essentially the same many thousands of years from now as those of our prehistoric ancestors. At least 99% of our genetic inheritance is believed to be consistent with that of Homo erectus. Biologically and genetically we are still are Stone Age people! You may already be familiar with the "paleo lifestyle" which is a way of living based on this theory.
According to this paradigm, we should stick to food for which we are genetically optimized (meat, fish, fruit, vegetables, nuts, honey, etc.) and avoid those that have been developed in the last 10,000 years (milk, grain, bread, etc.). Of course, our biological "engine" runs evenly with modern food, but less effectively and with considerable side effects. Even today, this is believed to be the reason why a significant proportion of the world population does not tolerate cow's milk.
The PaleoBarferoots® are an outgrowth of this philosophy. Our feet are the result of evolution, too. The design of our feet compresses many bones, ligaments, cartilage, and tendons together in a very small space. In addition, many major body nerves end in the soles of our feet, waiting to receiving stimuli such as heat, cold, moisture, etc., and to relay this information back into the body. The biomechanics and sensory network of our feet is designed to cushion and balance, reacting in response to different natural surfaces, soils and conditions. Traditional shoes and flat, hard surfaces interfere with this experiene.
Would you want to wear gloves all day long?
Under natural (barefoot) conditions your feet receive important information such as warning signals, changes in temperature, and other stimuli from the environmental. A multitude of body nerves end in our feet and continuously transmit that stimuli back to the body. The less contact between our feet and the ground, the more indistinct and incomplete theses signals are. This is why many recognized health practicioners begin their work with an examination of the feet.
If we translate the Paleo diet to the principles of biomechanics, completely bare feet would be the result. It would be much safer, of course, to cover these bare feet with a pair of PaleoBarferoots®. Right now they are the only shoe to offer the possibility of significantly broadening the barefoot radius and to safely and comfortably walk over completely unknown natural surfaces on land and water, without denying stimulation to the soles of your feet.

The president's campaign isn't just hammering home his foreign-policy strength -- it's seeking to undercut his rival's number-one selling point.
Updated 2:19 p.m.
In a new video narrated by Bill Clinton, the Obama campaign implies that Mitt Romney wouldn't have had the guts to take out Osama bin Laden. "That's one thing George Bush said that was right: The president is the decider-in-chief," Clinton says, smiling and pointing at the camera. "Nobody can make that decision for you."
The former president underscores how high the stakes were, how major the risk: "Suppose [the SEALs] would have been captured or killed. The downside would have been horrible for him." Then text onscreen asks, "What would Mitt Romney have done?" and segues to a 2007 Romney quote: "It's not worth moving heaven and earth spending billions of dollars just trying to catch one person."
That the Obama campaign is trying to get as much mileage as possible out of the president's most dramatic and universally admired foreign-policy decision isn't too surprising, though there has been some carping that he's overly politicizing it. The Los Angeles Times' Mike Memoli cleverly noted that Vice President Biden -- who once razzed former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani by saying, "There's only three things he mentions in a sentence: a noun and verb and 9/11" -- mentioned bin Laden 12 times in his big foreign-policy speech Thursday.
That was also the complaint of the Romney campaign, which charged the president's team with using the incident as a partisan wedge. "The killing of Osama bin Laden was a momentous day for all Americans and the world, and Governor Romney congratulated the military, our intelligence agencies, and the President," Romney spokeswoman Andrea Saul said in an email. "It's now sad to see the Obama campaign seek to use an event that unified our country to once again divide us, in order to try to distract voters' attention from the failures of his administration."
But note the way the criticism of Romney is couched in the video: as an attack not just on his foreign-policy priorities, but on his decision-making capacity. "He had to decide, and that's what you hire a president to do," Clinton says. "You hire a president to make the calls when no one else can do it."
The idea that Romney's not a "decider" was also a theme of a long passage of Biden's Thursday remarks. Here's what the vice president said about Romney:
He starts with a profound -- a profound -- misunderstanding of the responsibilities of a president and the commander-in-chief.
Here's what he said, and I want to quote him exactly. And I quote: "If we want someone who has a lot of experience in foreign policy, we can simply go to the State Department." He went on to say, and I quote, "But that's not how we choose a president. A president is not a foreign-policy expert."
In my view, the last thing we need is a president who believes that he can subcontract our foreign policy to experts at the State Department, or for that matter, any other department or agency. Because here's how it works -- I've been around for eight presidents of the United States. I hate to admit. I know I don't look that old, right? But eight Presidents. That's not how it works .... No matter how experienced the team, no matter how wise the advice and counsel, to use that old expression, the buck literally stops on the president's desk in the Oval Office.
One of the toughest -- only the toughest decisions land on that desk. And as often as not, his advisers are in disagreement -- disagreements among themselves -- all smart people, but they disagree -- seldom completely unified .... I literally get to be the last guy in the room with the president. That's our arrangement. I can give him all the advice that I have and make my case, but I walk out of the room. He sits there by himself, the president sits there by himself and has to make the decision, often -- often -- reconciling conflicting judgments that are made by very smart, honorable, informed, experienced people.
And the president is all alone at that moment. It's his judgment that will determine the destiny of this country. He must make the hard calls. I'd respectfully suggest President Obama has made those hard calls with strength and steadiness. And the reason he has been able to is because he had clear goals and a clear strategy how to achieve those goals. He had a clear vision and has a clear vision for America's place in the world. He seeks all the help he can get from experts as to how to realize that vision, but ultimately he makes the decision.
So it seems to me, Governor Romney's fundamental thinking about the role of the president in foreign policy is fundamentally wrong. That may work -- that may work -- that kind of thinking may work for a CEO. But I assure you, it will not and cannot work for a president and it will not work for a commander-in-chief.
I was struck by the length and emphasis of this passage -- which is abridged here and was even longer in the speech -- departing as it did from a single Romney sound bite. While "a president is not a foreign policy expert" is obviously a clumsy thing to say, and underlines Romney's total lack of experience in world affairs, the idea that a president appoints smart people in key positions whose specialized expertise exceeds his own is a pretty accepted concept. (In fact, Romney made the same point as Biden in the very next sentence of the quotation the vice president cited, a December 2007 Fox News interview: "A president is not a foreign policy expert. A president is a leader who understands how to make difficult decisions and does so in a way that brings together the best voices, that considers the upsides and downsides and predicts the credibility and the strength that America has always projected in circumstances like this.")

Why almost everything you think you know about Edward II is wrong; welcome to the site which examines the events, issues and personalities of Edward II's reign, 1307-1327. Edward is one of England's most maligned kings, and I'm trying to correct some of the misconceptions about him...while remaining as fair and objective as possible!
03 November, 2007
A Happy (Slightly Belated) 700th Wedding Anniversary
The wedding took place only a few days after Edward I's funeral, which attracted a great deal of criticism, as did the 'disparagement' of Edward's granddaughter, married to a man far beneath her by birth. Still, Margaret became countess of Cornwall at marriage, Piers was one of the richest men in the country, and was high in the king's favour, so she might not have considered herself disparaged at all.
By all accounts, it was a lavish affair. Edward II provided the extremely generous sum of seven pounds, ten shillings and six pence - more than most people in England earned in a year then - in pennies, to be thrown over the happy couple at the door of the church. (His almoners later collected the money to distribute to the poor.) Edward gave Margaret a palfrey worth twenty pounds, jewels worth thirty pounds to both Piers and Margaret - I can't escape the conclusion that most of them were for Piers - gifts to a value of over thirty-six pounds for Margaret's ladies-in-waiting, and spent twenty pounds on minstrels to entertain the guests.
Whether Piers and Margaret began living together as husband and wife is uncertain, but I would suspect not, as she was almost certainly only thirteen at the time, possibly just turned fourteen. Their only child, Joan, was born in January 1312. In November 1307 Piers was somewhere between twenty-four and twenty-six. This age difference attracted no criticism at the time, and was of course entirely normal by the standards of the age.
Piers and Margaret would be married for less than five years; he was beheaded on 19 June 1312. Nothing at all is known about their marriage, whether they were content together, adored or detested each other, were indifferent, but given Piers' close relationship with Margaret's uncle, it would make a fascinating fictional study.

Can't prove it, of course, but I'd be inclined to think that Margaret rather liked a marriage to a handsome young man that made her a countess (outranking her sisters). It's irritating how many nonfiction writers (who should know better) assume that she was miserable about the prospect.

Good point, Susan. She outranked her elder sister Eleanor quite considerably, which I can imagine she was pretty pleased about (and which might have rankled with Eleanor). Of all the men she might have married, at least Piers was handsome and charming, and not decades older, and she could stay in England. No reason at all to assume she hated him or was unhappy.

If you love puzzles, photography and stickers (like us), this project is definitely for you. As part of our MOOvie Mania Competition we asked people to share their "how tos" or "tutorials" that featured MOO. John Arnold has created a brilliant video that shows how to create a collection of stickers out of one photograph – in essence turning the 90 stickers in to a giant puzzle. He then brilliantly arranges all 90 stickers on his new laptop giving it a unique cover.
Thanks John for the great idea and good luck in the MOOvie competition.
This idea reminded us of a similar puzzle project done with MiniCards by Aral Balkan. Business Card idea anyone?
Remember, MOOvie Mania is still open until the end of July and there are prizes from Firebox, iStockphoto, Coreland Flickr plus cash to win. Grab your camera, do an unboxing, create a tutorial or remake a classic with a MOO twist.
OMG!! How patience are you? It looks great!
It must take a really calm attitude (besides steady hands) to achieve this mini work of art.Well done ! The music was good,too.
That's super-cool!
A simpler way to create the guides is via View > New Guide. You can then simply type in 1″, 2″, 3″, etc which is surely easier than trying to accurate drag and place something!
Holy cow! (sorry MOO) This is amazing! Well done John! My analytical brain is hoping Moo printed the stickers in number order on each sheet, so it was easy to do one sheet at a time
Oh my mind is absolutely racing! The things I could do for my Paris website and my handpainted silk website! Can't wait! D'oh – don't have photoshop, but I'm sure I can do something similar.
Woohoo! Thanks for getting my creative juices flowing MooGang!
omg… amazingggggggg!!!!!!!!
Why don't you have the sticker books listed in your Product section? I've been looking for them until I came across this video tutorial in your newsletter!
We help our customers print things like Business Cards, MiniCards, and Letterheads, making it easy for them to share information about themselves or their business in the real world.

This canine attack was out of the ordinary.
Someone should tell him the Madactive Collective won't be spinning at Water Taxi Beach until tomorrow.
Also, he shoots coyotes.
This isn't going to be good for their image.
This fall would be a good time for a vacation.
But it took four cop cars, two motorcycles, and a helicopter to do it.
And you thought they were coming in from Westchester.
This is beginning to be troublesome.
At first they felt out of place, but slowly, the coyotes are acclimating.
The third and fourth coyotes in as many weeks have turned up in upper Manhattan.
This is the start of something big, we can feel it.
Roosters, raccoons, swans, skunks and a baby goat!
But this coyote knew exactly what it was doing.

At this point, when stuff like this happens to Lindsay, I'm never sure whether I should be surprised or not.
I think I might be a little surprised, as weird as that sounds. All has been relatively quiet on Lohan front for the past few months (as in, she hasn't done anything exceedingly stupid or gotten herself arrested) so maybe I was under the impression that perhaps, maybe, possibly, some sort of normalcy would ensue. She's gone back to red locks of old, she successfully hosted an episode of SNL, I mean...these are good signs, right?! But alas, last night, outside and Hollywood club, Lindsay found herself in a sea of paparazzi, and while attempting to complete a 3-point turn amidst the sea, grazed the leg of the club's manager and his car as well. And then, whether she knew she had made contact with human flesh and hard metal (you'd think you'd feel that, right?), sped off into the night.
To Lindsay's credit, I've never had to drive through an ocean of screaming people flashing the light of ten suns into your eyes at seizure inducing intervals. I'm sure it's not easy. But you know, if you think you hit someone or something, common decency is to stop and check it out. Cause just driving away can spell more trouble, and if your name is Lindsay Lohan, you probably don't need or want more that. Police were called to the scene, though, and determined that no one was truly injured and decided no follow-up was needed. The only problem this could cause Lindsay is if the manager decides he is hurt — apparently, he began complaining about his grazed knee after he had found out Lindsay was driving the car, and went to the emergency room — and presses charges.
We hope, for Lindsay's sake (and because, frankly, we're a little tired of hearing this kind of stuff), she learns a little something from this incident and can keep chugging down the road towards a comeback. (via Jezebel)
Do you think Lindsay will be able to make a successful comeback this year?

Kelvin Hayden eager to bolster cornerback spot for Bears
BY NEIL HAYES email@example.com June 13, 2012 7:52PM
2-4-2007--Super Bowl--Bears vs. Colts--Colts cornerback Kelvin Hayden runs back an interception for a TD return--Sun-Times photo by Tom Cruze
Updated: July 15, 2012 3:31PM
Kelvin Hayden's new teammates remind him that they might be wearing his Super Bowl ring if he hadn't intercepted a pass by Rex Grossman and returned it 56 yards for a back-breaking touchdown in Super Bowl XLI.
Hayden takes the kidding in stride, while also understanding the performance of the cornerback that lines up opposite Charles Tillman could determine whether he and the Bears find themselves in position to earn a ring at season's end.
"It could definitely be big," Hayden said when asked about solidifying the left cornerback position. "This defense has been putting up numbers and setting a standard year in and year out. Us as corners, we don't want to be the reason why the team isn't successful. We're going to do everything possible to make sure that's not the case."
Much of the offseason enthusiasm surrounding the Bears has focused on offensive additions such as Brandon Marshall, Alshon Jeffery and Michael Bush, even though cornerback was also a glaring need addressed quietly with the addition of Hayden, the former Hubbard High, Joliet Junior College and Illinois standout.
While few doubt Hayden's ability, his durability remains a nagging question after he missed much of the last three seasons with assorted injuries, including an anterior cervical discectomy and fusion in his neck. That's the same surgery that forced former Colts teammate Peyton Manning to miss all of last season and made some wonder if the MVP quarterback would play again.
"That's critical," Hayden said of proving he can stay healthy. "That's the knock on me. The knock isn't 'He can't play', it's 'Will he be healthy for 16 weeks?' ''
Hayden was the starter and Tim Jennings was his backup for most of Hayden's six years in Indianapolis. Now Jennings is the starting left cornerback for the Bears and Hayden is trying to unseat his former teammate, who he refers to as "like a brother."
Rookie late-round draft picks Isaiah Frey of Nevada and Greg McCoy of TCU aren't competing for starting spots, but could improve depth. Coach Lovie Smith said nickel back D.J. Moore could also see some time at cornerback.
"In my 10 years of being here, this is the best group of corners we've had in just overall talent," Tillman said. "Now, they're still learning the defense, but as far as a talent standpoint, this is by far the best group of talented young men we've had."
Hayden grew up a Bears fan. His mother worried about the distractions of having so many friends and family around before her son put her at ease. He's not a rookie, after all. After eight years in the league, he knows what it takes to prepare himself for a great opportunity.
"This is a great group," he said. "You can tell there's a bond. It's not similar in every locker room. You have to have that bond to go on that field and excel because you know the guy next to you is going to do his job. It makes everything much easier.
"These guys have experience at every position. You've got Julius Peppers, Lance Briggs, Brian Urlacher. You can go right down the line. It's a great situation for everybody.
"The time is now."

DALLAS, June 17, 2013 — In an Internet Q&A for The Guardian, NSA-leaker Edward Snowden responded to Dick Cheney calling him a traitor on Fox News Sunday.
Kimberly Dozier, and Intelligence and Counterterrorism writer for AP and former CBS News Baghdad correspondent asked Snowden via Twitter:
SEE RELATED: The divisive case of Bradley Manning
Snowden replied that each time public discussion emerges, U.S. officials provide misleading, false assertions about the program's value. He encouraged journalists to ask what specific terrorist attacks were thwarted solely by suspicionless surveillance that could not be gained other ways. Then he said Americans should inquire whether such wholesale privacy violations against innocent citizens are worth the sacrifice.
He then addressed Cheney's comments that he was a traitor for violating his position to "damage the national security interests of the
Snowden responded, "It's important to bear in mind I'm being called a traitor by men like former Vice President Dick Cheney. This is a man who gave us the warrantless wiretapping scheme as a kind of atrocity warm-up on the way to deceitfully engineering a conflict that has killed over 4,400 and maimed nearly 32,000 Americans, as well as leaving over 100,000 Iraqis dead.
SEE RELATED: NSA contractor Snowden: Patriot, traitor, or just self-serving?
"Being called a traitor by Dick Cheney is the highest honor you can give an American. If they had taught a class on how to be the kind of citizen Dick Cheney worries about, I would have finished high school."
Cheney's choice to criticize Snowden as a traitor is rather interesting. A war crime is defined as an action carried out during the conduct of a war that violates accepted international rules of war. War criminals are those who sanction, supervise, perform or defend illegal actions.
In April, an independent, bi-partisan Washington-based panel implicated Cheney in violations of U.S. law and international treaties for sanctioning "enhanced interrogation" which produced minimal information of value. The former Vice President was tried and found guilty in absentia of war crimes last year in an international court. Human rights groups abroad protest his appearances so passionately that he has difficulty traveling abroad.
Though Cheney swore an oath to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States, he justifies the Bush administration's destruction of constitutional rule of law and asserts that torture, extrajudicial kidnapping and detention, the militarization of America's justice system, and the erosion of the First, Fourth and Fifth Amendments were necessary to keep America safe.
SEE RELATED: Jury nullification, not a pardon for Edward Snowden
Last Sunday, he also alleged the NSA surveillance programs Snowden exposed could have prevented September 11th terrorist attacks. The former Vice President also said he was "suspicious" the whistleblower was a Chinese government operative.
Snowden rejected Cheney's assertion his flight to Hong Kong was because he spies for
"Ask yourself: if I were a Chinese spy, why wouldn't I have flown directly into
In a follow-up question, a poster asked whether he could confirm or deny giving classified information to the Chinese. Snowden replied, "No. I have had no contact with the Chinese government. Just like with the Guardian and the Washington Post, I only work with journalists."
Snowden also said the more panicked the establishment, the better off Americans are in the long run. Career politicians and media pundits have peddled the narrative that Snowden committed treason with solutions ranging from him being "disappeared" to calls for his arrest, extradition and imprisonment.
When asked if the post-leak scandal was proceeding as he hoped, Snowden expressed disappointment.
"Unfortunately, the mainstream media now seems far more interested in what I said when I was 17 or what my girlfriend looks like rather than, say, the largest program of suspicionless surveillance in human history."
The full transcript of Snowden's online discussion with the Guardian is posted here.

Now if you can manage the same with a microwave, you've a nice little business venture
Dragons Den?
I'll give it a go lol
The mrs asked how much to make her one and get it delivered? She works from home a lot and is on the phone a lot and it would be helpful so she can boil the kettle when she wraps up a call.
This is a serious request.
The web relay is expensive ( about $130) the solenoid is 20 quid and the kettle was a tenner!
If we can make it cheaper ill let you know and keep the thread updated
she said for now she will do it manually, but yeh please keep us informed
mac_shinobi (9th August 2011)
Very cool. Reminds me of a story I heard many many years ago whilst at Uni, about a Uni in the USA somewhere that had a Coke machine hooked up to their network, and it spat out a can of Coke if you PINGed it.
Techy : Ah, hold on, I'll ping it constant to see when it is back online
Network Manager : Nooo, Wait !!
Techy : Too Late !!
Coke machine drops all of its cans at once when it comes back online as it can see that its been pinged multiple times.
Like the microwave would be linked to the fridge and when you tried to microwave some food the microwave would communicate with the weight scales and go ppssstt end user is going to be heavier, brace yourself
Best thread ive read in a while! Def get my name down for one of these - My long reaching stick is becoming a little low tech in comparison for turning the kettle on.
We have a cheap kettle that's switch goes up! Its from Pound Stretcher/ In Store I believe.
The switch going upwards is actually really annoying.
