So given GRRM's latest delusional comments where he thinks that the TV show will wait for him and will also get 3 seasons from AFFC/ADWD, I guess we can all assume now that he's essentially outsourced the ending of his series to TV.
He's obviously slowed down writing wise and though we can blame Meereen, the solution we got to the problem wasn't exactly what you'd expect from 5 years of trying.
Unless he's taking the piss and TWOW comes out in the next 12 months I won't be surprised if he just gives up altogether.
Still think WOW will be this year.

I wonder if they're planning to keep the Hound alive for longer in the TV series?
He seemed chipper eating his chicken at the end of the episode for a grievously wounded man, I hope so Sandor is a great character.
Well I don't think he is dead in the books as too much evidence points to him being alive but we will get that answered this season most likely unless they end it on a cliff hanger as far as he goes?
Some of the trailers do show Arya on her own.
Another reason the next book needs to come out this year IMO.

When I got these home and put them to use, I noticed that the hooks do not securely grab the spring cause they are too small and the double hooked ends are not on the correct arc. The hardware seems very cheap and the thread is coarse thread so you really have to work to turn it by hand once really squeezing the spring. I would be worried about this breaking with high spring rates and causing serious injury. Not impressed.

About Me Avid Do-It-Yourselfer
Comments about Pittsburgh Automotive MacPherson Strut Spring Compressor Set:
I used this for strut replacement on a 2010 Hyundai Accent. Other than the amount of time it takes to use, hand tightening and loosening, it worked fine. At no point did I worry about it breaking. I was worried after reading other reviews about the tool breaking or the bolt stripping but I had no such issues. Worth every penny.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Finally Gave out 7yrs later!
By gblowtis2000
from Ottawa, KS
I have used these countless times over and over again in the last 7 years and finally the threads have worn off the threaded shaft. Hooks are still in perfect shape and never once did anything make a spring compresion job dangerous. Will be buying another set this weekend.
good compressor set
By Scott
from Unicorporated North DeKalb County, GA
Used this set to change out all four struts and springs. Since I was installing new springs too it was the equivalent of 8 compression/release cycles. Clamped one of the lower jaws into a vice to hold assembly steady and, keeping the bolt shaft well-oiled, was easily able to use hand tools to turn. Pneumatic would be faster but sometimes can't access bolt head and I'd be concerned about stripping bolt or nuts - then you'd be in a world of hurt.The included "safety hook sets" are more for function than safety. They secure the upper/single hook to wherever you've attached it to the spring, keeps it from slipping. So I guess they do perform a safety function but I'd consider 'safety' a misnomer.

Excellent product for the money
By Echelon
from Mocksville, NC
I used this to change the suspension out on my Nissan 240sx. It works really well. It is built sturdy. It is just really time consuming, but I imagine all manual spring compressors are. The safety hooks are a bit of a pain, but I did feel much safer using them. I had no problems with it sliding on the springs. I just recommend keeping the threaded rod greased well.

perfect for smaller cars! !!!!
By 100percentmechanic
from Wilmington , NC
I was installing lowering springs on my car and my larger set wouldn't grip the spring properly. I went to hft with my father in law and got these. They are very good for the price, strong, and held together for another use. I do not think the screw is hardened but they took major punishment during the job and if I decide to replace my shocks I won't hesitate to break these back out and swap, the springs over with these. Surprised me! !!!
Good tool for the job if used correctly
By Greene Lantern
from Jackson, Michigan
I used this product on a 1997 Escort LX wagon and a 1999 escort ZX2. I used it with a hammer drill (big mistake!). The aluminum threads binded and rendered it useless. Use only hand tools and oil the threads often. It was very easy to use and did get the job done well. I will buy another set now that i know how it is supposed to be used.
Works on some struts, but not all
By Adam
from Cincinnati Ohio
I used these on a few vehicles in the past, but I went to use it on my 98 Sienna, and they were too long, wouldnt compress the spring enough to remove the strut. Plus, when I went to take them off, the welded nut came off the rod, rendering them useless.

It's obviously too early to know for certain, but on the final day of the 2012 presidential campaign there seems to be a general consensus forming that President Obama is well-positioned to beat Mitt Romney at the polls tomorrow. And in the face of that prospect, some in the media are already beginning to challenge the legitimacy of Obama's reelection.
On November 4, Politico published an article enumerating the "lessons learned" from the 2012 campaign. Among them was the surprising assertion that the coalition Obama put together to win reelection -- "Hispanics, African-Americans, single women and highly educated urban whites" -- is insufficient to provide the incumbent the political capital he might otherwise enjoy were he to have the support of independents and white voters. "A broad mandate this is not," declared authors Jim VandeHei and Mike Allen.
Politico didn't explain why broad mandates rest on the shoulders of whites and independents, simply asserting instead that Obama, should he win, will win in a way that lacks legitimacy. Part of their analysis, however, rested on the myth that the United States is "a center-right country," which certainly helps to explain why they'd view an electoral coalition that excludes the center-right's top constituency -- white men -- as a political nonstarter.
While Politico went the route of demography, conservative pundits are instead opting for catastrophe. Specifically, the devastation wrought by Hurricane Sandy, suggesting that Romney was poised to run away with the election until Sandy halted his "momentum" and gave Obama a boost in public opinion going into the campaign's final week.
Joe Scarborough repeatedly shouted over Morning Joe co-host Mika Brezinksi's attempt to discuss reports of early voting problems in Florida, a result of voting restrictions enacted by the Republican-dominated state government.
Recent changes in Florida's voting laws led to long lines and confusion the weekend before Election Day, with some voters waiting up to seven hours and others being turned away from the polls just days before their last chance to vote. Circumstances were so difficult for South Florida voters that the Atlantic Wire ran a story on Monday morning titled, "Voting Is Already a Mess in Florida."
In response to these reports, Brzezinski said "We've been talking about the impact of early voting in this race. There are some issues with early voting in Florida over the weekend when the Miami-Dade elections department closed its doors with hundreds of people still lined up outside. The center was shut down for an hour until officials were given permission to extend in-person absentee voting. Democrats have now filed a federal lawsuit to force the state's Republican-controlled government to extend early voting hours in South Florida."
Scarborough dismissed the story as an attempt to say: "Republicans bad. Rick Scott bad. Voting suppression." As Brzezinski and the Morning Joe guests continued to discuss the early voting issues in Florida, Scarborough repeatedly interrupted, yelling "Benghazi, Benghazi, Benghazi," making it nearly impossible for anyone to get a word in edgewise.
Nate Silver has a computer model. Each day he plugs the data from the various national and swing state polls into that model, numbers are crunched, simulations are run, and he posts the results on his New York Times blog indicating who is more likely to win the presidential election: Barack Obama or Mitt Romney. (As of this posting, Silver's analysis has Obama winning in 74.6 percent of scenarios.) And for this, Silver is coming under attack from pundits who insist that their gut feeling tells them the race is a true toss-up.
"Anybody that thinks that this race is anything but a tossup right now is such an ideologue, they should be kept away from typewriters, computers, laptops and microphones for the next 10 days, because they're jokes," complained Joe Scarborough on the October 29 Morning Joe.
Complaints like Scarborough's are helped along by publications that have an interest in maintaining the view of a race that is essentially a flip of the coin, and in preserving the importance of their own roles as gatekeepers with access to critical insider information. Politico's Dylan Byers cited Scarborough's criticism along with that of New York Times columnist David Brooks in positing that Silver may be a "one-term celebrity."
"If you tell me you think you can quantify an event that is about to happen that you don't expect, like the 47 percent comment or a debate performance, I think you think you are a wizard. That's not possible," Times columnist David Brooks, a moderate conservative, said on PBS earlier this month. "The pollsters tell us what's happening now. When they start projecting, they're getting into silly land."
It makes sense that pundits like Scarborough and Brooks would have it out for a numbers guy like Silver. Their oeuvre is the intangible. They analyze based on gut feelings and nonspecifics. Their great trick is to transform the utterly unquantifiable into something approaching concrete certainty.
Media figures including New York Times columnist Frank Bruni and MSNBC host Joe Scarborough are distorting President Obama's proposals to claim that the president has said he will rely solely on taxes to cut the deficit. In fact, Obama has proposed a balanced approach of spending cuts combined with tax increases on the wealthy to reduce deficits.
On September 9, CBS News reported Obama's "plan for reducing the deficit would cut $2.50 in spending allowances for every $1 of increased tax revenue." Obama has advocated a balanced approach to deficit-cutting for years and continues to advocate it to this day. Indeed, some progressives have criticized Obama's budget proposals for cutting spending too much.
But in a column for the latest Sunday edition of the Times, Bruni claimed that Obama is suggesting that "extra taxation on the rich alone can solve many of our budget problems." Bruni wrote:
President Obama admits that he'd like taxes raised on households making more than $250,000. But he casts those increases as an insurance policy against any significant hikes on everyone else, and puts an emphasis on them far out of bounds with their potential impact. The implication is that extra taxation on the rich alone can solve many of our budget problems. That's savvy marketing, smart politics and utter bunk.
Scarborough similarly said that "we can't raise taxes to solvency," but "Obama's answer to everything" is "we're going to raise taxes on the rich."
The right-wing media have repeatedly pushed this falsehood that Obama wants to increase taxes to reduce the deficit while opposing spending cuts of any kind. They have also erected and knocked down the straw-man argument that taxing the wealthiest Americans at 100 percent would eliminate the deficit.
And Scarborough took this particular straw man even further. During the segment, he claimed that even if the government used tanks to seize all the assets of the top 1 percent, it would not close the deficit:
SCARBOROUGH: We could seize the assets of the top 1 percent. Take everything. Take 100 percent, go in with tanks, take their homes, sell them. Do all of that. That still wouldn't make us solvent -- not more than for eight, nine, 10 months.

Joe Scarborough and Fox & Friends lashed out at the Obama campaign and other media outlets this morning for accurately pointing out that Mitt Romney relied on falsehoods during the first presidential debate.
Both Fox and MSNBC's Morning Joe showed clips of Obama campaign surrogates on Sunday morning news shows pointing out that during the debate, Romney had abandoned positions he had previously advocated and misrepresented the details of his own plans. Scarborough and Fox labeled this "desperate" and "sleazy Chicago politics."
But the facts are on the side of Romney's critics. For instance, although Romney denied that his plan would cut taxes by $5 trillion, the plan does indeed call for reductions in rates that would amount to $480 billion a year for 10 years. Despite repeated opportunities, Romney has refused to spell out which loopholes would be closed to offset those cuts.
Similarly, Romney said during the debate that people with pre-existing conditions would be covered under his health care plan. But Talking Points Memo reported that Romney adviser Eric Fehrnstrom acknowledged after the debate that that those people would most likely not be insured under Romney's plan, but would have to rely on states passing their own regulations in order to obtain coverage.
On Morning Joe, Scarborough described coverage in The New York Times' Sunday Review section as "desperate," and applied the same label to comments by Obama senior strategist David Axelrod.
MSNBC host Joe Scarborough pushed the long-debunked falsehood that President Obama told Americans "you didn't build that."
Scarborough's claim is based on a right-wing media falsehood that Obama told business owners that they didn't build their own businesses. That falsehood became so pervasive that Republicans adopted it as a theme for their 2012 convention. However, in the relevant remarks, Obama touted the role that infrastructure, education, and individual drive play in business owners' success.
Scarborough claimed that Obama "believes that we didn't build it, that individuals don't cause the economy to explode." Scarborough added that Obama believes that "you let the federal government spend trillions of dollars and good things will happen. We Republicans disagree."
But contrary to Scarborough's suggestion, Obama has proposed both tax cuts and spending to jumpstart the economy. For instance, the 2009 stimulus contained $282 billion in tax relief, and the American Jobs Act, which Obama proposed but Republicans have blocked. has more tax cuts than new spending.
Unemployment dropped to 7.8 percent, a number that seemed to bewilder a skeptical MSNBC host Joe Scarborough this morning, who responded to the monthly jobs report by saying, "These numbers don't add up, it doesn't make sense."
Scarborough maintained his skepticism of the number's veracity throughout the October 5 edition of MSNBC's Morning Joe, despite receiving explanations from analysts like Josh Green, from Bloomberg Businessweek, who noted earlier in the show:
One reason this number went down, is we didn't just add 114,000 new jobs, there were the upward revisions in August and in July. So we're talking well over 200,000 new jobs. I think that's evidence that business is getting off the sidelines, hiring.
Instead, Scarborough turned to former General Electric CEO Jack Welch, who tweeted a conspiracy theory implying the Obama administration influenced the unemployment numbers:
The Morning Joe panel read the tweet aloud "for entertainment value," according to Scarborough, but co-host Mike Barnacle responded to the tweet, saying, "I don't know where the number came from, I hope it's accurate - I just don't know."
Media figures have used the recent attacks on the U.S. embassy in Egypt and consulate in Libya to make Islamophobic comments, from claiming that "they hate us because they hate us" to asking guests if they think "there is a Muslim problem in the world."

Oh yes a great article written by a fagot from England ........ how about at least find an Article written by an American.
Andrew Sullivan
Andrew was born in August 1963 and grew up in East Grinstead, West Sussex, England. He attended Reigate Grammar School, and Magdalen College, Oxford, where he took a First in Modern History and Modern Languages. He was also President of the Oxford Union, and
spent his summer vacations as an actor in the National Youth Theatre of Great Britain.
In 1989, Sullivan wrote the first national cover-story in favor of marriage equality, and subsequently an essay,
The Politics of Homosexuality
in The New Republic in 1993, an article the Nation called the most influential of the decade in the gay rights movement.

Discover PerformanceHP Software's community for IT leaders // March 2014
Clearing the obstacles to being a service broker
The need for SIAM—and the move of IT Ops into a broker's role—isn't going away. So why aren't organizations embracing this role?
The bottom line
What: IT is no longer a closed shop, and Ops leaders have to deal with a wide range of third-party services, infrastructure, and applications.
How: The smart move, for your enterprise and your career, is to master service integration and management as a broker of IT services.
More: Download the Frost & Sullivan report, "The new IT: Managing and delivering services in a multi-vendor environment" (reg. req'd).
Most IT organizations have heard that they need to adopt a service integration and management (SIAM) approach, in which they act as service brokers on behalf of the business. And while they may have no choice—mobility and cloud aren't going away, after all—many organizations aren't stepping into the role well or willingly. We spoke with Markus Mueller, HP global lead architect for SIAM, about the obstacles that stand between IT and successful brokering.
Q: We've spent a lot of time telling CIOs and VP-Ops that IT has to become a broker of services. How well do we see enterprise IT departments doing it?
Markus Mueller: The short answer is that they are still far away. The term "broker" seems to have different interpretations depending on who you talk to. When we talk about brokering, we're talking about being a trusted advisor, facilitating transactions, giving expert advice. It's strategic, and IT departments are not yet stepping into this role. A lot of energy is consumed by maintaining the status quo and traditional IT. There's a hierarchy of competencies involved in brokering, and I see many organizations that still struggle with the basics.
Q: What's holding them back?
MM: There's obviously a growing demand for concepts of service brokerage, but it's in an early phase. And right now, why would an organization want to become a service broker? I haven't seen an organization yet that can come up to me and say, "We can prove cost-wise that the broker model has saved us x dollars." So we deal with early adopters, where change is not driven by IT itself but by the business, which puts pressure on IT departments to source services externally, either by cloud or traditional sourcing options. But the business sometimes does not fully understand what that means in terms of IT, and we start to see shadow IT developing. Traditional IT budgets are shrinking, but business seems to be getting more money to spend on IT.
Q: What about the organizations that are attempting it now? What's the biggest challenge for them?
MM: We always say that services should be defined in terms of business outcomes, but it's not easy to move away from purely technical-focused services to business outcomes. Companies buy a lot of pieces of software to fix their problems, but the problems are often of an organizational nature, not a technical nature. So we need to focus on business outcomes and remember that service brokering must deliver benefits to the business, not to the IT department. You need to understand that acquiring this-and-that cloud service doesn't solve the business problem: they're just pieces of the puzzle. Many IT departments have adopted cloud on a small scale, but few organizations are adopting cloud for large-scale strategic workloads.
Q: These changes won't happen overnight, of course. But how long does a transformation like this really take?
MM: I have seen several customers—the ones that are the most mature—take 4 to 5 years to establish a very solid foundation for service integration and management. Brokering services is not that easy: all services—no matter if brokered or legacy—still need to be integrated. And brokering external services adds an additional layer of complexity.
Q: We hear often that IT needs to do a better job of building trust with the business. But we're talking about more than just a good relationship, right?
MM: Yes. The interface between the business and IT is essential for brokering, and it's about trust. But many IT organizations don't even trust themselves to be a service integrator. You need to know the business, the industry, and sometimes even have sophisticated market knowledge. And that means IT needs a completely different set of competencies in order to act as a broker. But IT often says, "The business doesn't understand what they want us to do."
And on the other side, the business says, "The IT organization doesn't understand what the business requires!" The broker is the translator between these two parties, who live in different realities. That leads me to a suggestion: If you want to realize a seamless value chain from business to IT, you need business analysis skills. But how many IT experts do you know who have those skills? I sometimes think maybe a service broker should not be sitting in the IT department but in a business department—someone with business analysis skills, linking back into the IT organization.
Because it's not just about trust, it's not just about relationships and better conversations. You have to bring in knowledge that you didn't have before. You have to do your homework.

So the new addition has become firmly established in my house. We named her "Rani", Punjabi for "Queen". She had some health problems - pyometra, an upper respiratory infection and on top of everything an ear infection, but she's getting over those problems and through it all she's been an amazingly loving and affectionate cat. It's hard to imagine how anybody could have abandoned her. She even gets along with the dog!
On the lifestyle front I've been sticking pretty close to my goals. Fortunately all the Christmas goodies have been eaten, and mostly not by me although I had my share. Now it's onward and upward, down the home stretch to my black belt grading. In our style there is no testing on grading day. Anybody who gets graded has proven time and again that they're at the level they need to be for whatever belt it is they're getting. But I have to put together a program to show off my strong points, so there's a lot of planning and special practice!
I wasn't looking forward to my first Christmas in twenty years without cats. Two days ago somebody posted at work that there's a cat in a shelter who desperately needs a home as she was really depressed and in danger of getting sick. Bad news: she's black and apparently lots of people don't like black cats.
Long story short; I went to the shelter, fell in love, and now she's busy exploring my office. She hasn't met the dog yet but she can hear him through the door and she appears interested rather than scared.
After Grumpy died I didn't want to run out and actively look for a new cat but I was always open to helping a cat in need. Cats have a way of showing up when it's time. Seems it's time.
I've been sitting on a plateau the size of the Canadian Shield for the last three months. Yesterday I decided to reset my goals. Hmm - no wonder; my calorie allotment is quite a bit smaller than what I had been eating. It's actually not bad because it shows my progress. There is one good thing about being heavy: you burn more calories when exercising and you get to eat more.
I was worried that I wouldn't be able to stick to the new limits, especially since yesterday was our staff Christmas party, but I thought I'd try it. I stuck to healthy foods as much as possible, but hey, it's a party so who am I kidding? I did go "over" by a bit but not much, and while I was a little hungry it wasn't anything I couldn't handle. And I burned a lot of calories with swimming and rock climbing.
We'll see how this new plan is going to work. Today the kids are coming over for a cookie baking session - another challenge of my willpower! Just in case, I've also signed up for weekly boot camp starting Jan. 11.
Well, I went and tried indoor rock climbing today. For the first time it wasn't too bad I think, although I only got about 20 minutes of actual climbing in. For one thing I had to learn how to use the equipment, and then I had to get up my nerve. I got about halfway up the beginner wall when I realized how high up I was. That's when I remembered I'm scared of heights.
I let myself back down and did some deep breathing before I tackled the wall again. And again. I'm sorry to say I didn't get all the way up - no rational reason, just didn't have the nerve to do it. Stupid - I knew I couldn't fall, but I just couldn't overcome the fear of being so high up. Next time I'll have to go with somebody so I'll be too embarrassed to chicken out. Because there definitely will be a next time!
Oh man, the jet lag really got me this time. I'm so glad I took another week off work. Normally it doesn't bother me so much, but I think because it's so dark anyway it makes it harder for me to adjust. When I go to Germany in the summertime, I get back to much more daylight which helps.
Monday: trying to remember what day it is and what I'm doing here
Tuesday: went to my karate class - first horse stance in three weeks - ouch!
Wednesday: walked the dog and cleaned up the yard; wanted to go to the gym in the evening but went to bed instead (at 7pm :( )
Thursday: went swimming and walked the dog
Friday: a long walk with the dog and karate class again - horse stance a lot better today but kicking practice was painful
Tomorrow: I want to try rock climbing; it's supposed to be lots of fun.

Fully closed 85-mile route with comprehensive signage
Croeso i'r Wiggle Etape Cymru. Gobeithiwn y byddech yn ymuno gyda ni ar yr 14fed o Fedi 2014 i fwynhau'r profiad arbennig o feicio ar rai o ffyrdd harddaf Gogledd Cymry heb poeni am draffig.
The Wiggle Etape Cymru is an 'epic' lung-busting, leg-aching, end of season closed road sportive, which provides the most challenging closed-road test in the UK. The route starts and finishes in Wrexham and passes through the Clwydian Range (an area of Outstanding Natural Beauty) and Dee Valley area with stunning scenery. The route takes in several well-known climbs including the legendary Horseshoe Pass which incorporates a timed King of the Mountains challenge.
This incredible event was voted Sportive of the Year 2012 by readers of RoadCyclingUK and has been widely acclaimed for its success by all of the top cycling media outlets - this really is a must-do!
The Festina Horseshoe Pass 'King of the Mountain' stage
During the Wiggle Etape Cymru there will be a special King of the Mountain timed stage for the Horseshoe Pass climb. This 6.1km climb gains 317m in height and at times the gradient reaches 20%. We will award the fastest climber to climb the Horseshoe Pass during the event a Festina watch which will be sent to them after the event.
Completely closed roads
Nearly all sportives on the UK calendar are held on open roads and little prior permission is required. The Wiggle Etape Cymru is held on closed road conditions (for all entrants achieving a minimum of 13mph), which requires traffic management orders, additional signage, marshals and logistical costs relating to event safety. Riding in closed road conditions is a fantastic experience that can't be rivalled by other open-road sportives.
Compulsory event registration
After entering for the event online, all participants MUST register for the Wiggle Etape Cymru on the Saturday before the ride that takes place the following day. This will involve picking up your event pack which will have everything you need in it for the ride including your rider numbers and timing chip. You just need to bring your ID with you to pick up your pack.
If you cannot make the registration times, you can get a friend to register for you. All they need is a copy of your photo ID and they will be able to pick up your event pack for you.

Justin Bieber Goes Full Llama, Spits on Grown Man
New details emerge on neighbor's battery accusation
On Tuesday (March 26) reports emerged that the Los Angeles Sheriff's Department was investigating Justin Bieber after an alleged conflict took place between the 19-year-old pop star and one of his neighbors. More details have emerged today shedding light on the battery charge leveled at the Biebz. According to TMZ's sources, the youngster spit at and threatened to kill a 47-year-old man.
While the conflict was initially thought to be over a series of noisy parties held at Justin's house while he was away doing shows (we're looking at you, Lil Twist), the celebrity news site now says law enforcement officials and neighbors confirm that the singer's Ferrari had arrived via flatbed truck that morning, and he'd decided to take it for a joyride through the gated community in Calabasas.
After he returned home from "driving insanely fast" around the neighborhood, the offended father of three came over to complain. "You can't drive like this!" the man evidently yelled before JB hocked a nasty loogie into the dude's face and said, "I'm gonna fucking kill you." TMZ cites sheriff's deputies as the source of this exchange. They also report that the neighbor intends to have Bieber prosecuted.
Naturally, the "Janice" Joplin fan's security team apparently maintains that the kid never touched him, but that's wholly possible if his lung-butter-launching abilities are up to par. For a reenactment of the unfortunate event, we turn to these two:

Layout Challenge: #79 of 210.
My mojo was working for me tonight! Unfortunately there was no natural light when I took the pictures but you get the idea.
Products used: K&Company chipboard, CTMH Heart of Winter Project Pack, CTMH organdy ribbon, K&Company pearls. I added details to the flower with markers and ink. (challenge=sketch)
Products used: CTMH Heart of Winter Project Pack, CTMH Chocolate grosgrain ribbon, Cricut Accent Essentials, and button (unknown). I added details on the flower with a marker and I used a piercing tool to add details around the scallop border. (challenge=paper piercing)
Products used: CTMH Heart of Winter Project Pack, CTMH White Daisy Just Blooms, Making Memories Chocolate paint. I used the paint as the centers of the flowers – a great technique! (challenge=paint)
Products used: CTMH Heart of Winter Project Pack, clip and hemp (unknown). I poked a hole through the flower to attach the clip to it with the hemp. (challenge=binding)
Products used: CTMH Heart of Winter Project Pack, CTMH White Daisy Just Blooms, DCWV vellum quote, CTMH Chocolate grosgrain ribbon, K&Company pearls. (challenge=quote)
Products used: DCWV textured cardstock and pattern paper, Stampin' Up black grosgrain ribbon, CTMH Sparkles and Cranberry cardstock, button and flowers unknown. (challenge=red/black/white)
Products used: CTMH Boom-Di-Ada Creative Basics papers, flowers from CTMH Heart of Winter Project Pack, CTMH Hollyhock ricrac, acrylic frame by Fancy Pants, CTMH Say It In Style stamp set, and Hampton Art glitter glue. The acrylic frame is actually two pieces. I used the glitter glue to stick them together and then I attached it to my project with Liquid Glass. Glitter glue was also used for the center of the flowers. (challenge=clear window)
These projects were all done for challenges at 365 Cards.
A great way to add creativity to your layout is by mixing and matching elements within your title as you can see on my layout below. "The" = alphabet buttons, "Thrill" = sizzlits alphabet diecuts, "of the" = stamping, "HUNT" = stencils. For the letters of the word "hunt" I used a package of stencils by tracing them onto my patterned paper, cut out, matted on cardstock, and embellished. Paper is by DCWV. Machine stitching adds great detail to the layout.

Karachi - Pakistan will send its domestic Twenty20 champions Lahore Lions to play in the Champions League to be held in India in September, an official said Wednesday.
The Lions, led by former Pakistan Twenty20 captain Mohammad Hafeez, beat Misbah-ul Haq's Faisalabad Wolves in the final of the event held in February.
The Twenty20 champions of Australia, South Africa, England, New Zealand, Sri Lanka and the West Indies will also take part in the event.
"We have received an invitation to send our Twenty20 champion team so Lahore Lions will be participating in the event in September," a Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) spokesperson said.
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) earlier this month announced the event will take place on its grounds, ruling out a possible neutral venue in the United Arab Emirates.
The event is likely to start on September 7 although no final dates have yet been announced.
The Lions also include international stars Ahmed Shahzad, Nasir Jamshed, Umar Akmal and Wahab Riaz.
No Pakistan team featured in the first three editions of the Champions League, which started in 2009.
The Sialkot Stallions, led by Shoaib Malik, played in the qualifying stages of the event held in South Africa in 2012 but failed to progress to the main rounds.
Misbah-led Faisalabad suffered the same fate, failing to qualify for the main rounds when they featured in the event in India last year.
Both PCB and the BCCI are hoping to revive bilateral cricketing ties in December 2015 after last month's signing of six series in the next eight years.

Toyota announces 2008 Highlander pricing
Toyota's redesigned 2008 Highlander is expected on dealer lots in a couple of weeks, and buyers can expect relatively modest price increases over last year's model. The mid-size SUV drops the standard 4-cylinder in favor of a 270-hp, 3.5-liter V6 and the interior gets some upgrades. Toyota brags that the larger, more powerful Highlander retains its 2007 V6 fuel economy numbers of 17/23 for 4X2s and 16/22 for 4X4s.
At the low end, the Highlander Base 4X2 model's sticker gets bumped $510 to $27,300 while the 4X4 is up $560 to $28,750.
Sport and Limited level Highlanders get standard backup cameras independent of a navigation system and 19" wheels. Sport 4X2 models get a $985 bump to $29,950. Limited buyers also get keyless entry and will pay MSRP of $32,700 for the 4X2 and $34,150 for the 4X4, which is $1,890 and $1,940 more than 2007 models.
Highlander Hybrid sales are to begin in September, and Toyota will announce pricing for those nearer the fall.
After the jump read Toyota's complete press release with details on interior goodies and other upgrades.
[Source: Toyota]
Toyota Announces Prices for All-New 2008 Highlander
TORRANCE, Calif., June 20 – Toyota Motor Sales (TMS), U.S.A., Inc., announced manufacturer's suggested retail prices (MSRP) today for the all-new Highlander mid-size sport utility vehicle (SUV).
The 2008 Highlander is significantly larger, roomier and more powerful than the vehicle it replaces. Yet its fuel efficiency will be virtually unchanged. It is noticeably quieter, smarter, with significantly improved versatility and ride comfort. The 2008 Highlander will have one of the most comprehensive lists of standard safety features in it the mid-size SUV class where safety is at the top of purchase considerations.
Highlander will be offered in Base, Sport and Limited grades. All three grades will be powered by a new 3.5-liter V6 with dual independent variable valve timing with intelligence (VVT-i) that delivers an impressive 270 horsepower -- a 55 horsepower gain over the previous generation's 3.3-liter engine.
Highlander has an impressive list of standard safety features. It will provide a segment-leading total of seven airbags, including a driver's knee airbag and roll-sensing side curtain airbags for all three rows in addition to active headrests for the driver and front passenger.
As with all Toyota SUVs for the last three years, Highlander will provide Toyota's STAR(TM) safety system, featuring: anti-lock brakes, traction control, electronic brake-force distribution, brake assist, and for the first time, enhanced vehicle stability control, with electronic power steering.
For all Sport and Limited models, a stand-alone backup camera with a 3.5-inch LCD multi-information screen, not tied to a navigation system, is standard equipment.
Highlander rides on an all-new chassis derived from the current Camry and Avalon. It is nearly four inches longer and three inches wider, with an inch more ground clearance and three inches of additional wheelbase than the Highlander it replaces.
Highlander's second-row seating flexibility features captain's chairs with armrests that, if needed, can be converted to a bench seat for three passengers. A "Center Stow(TM)" seat, when not in use, is hidden in a compartment under the front center console. In its place, passengers can easily put in the Center Stow(TM)console or choose to leave the area open as a walk-through to the third row. The second row also slides forward and back 4.7 inches and reclines.
Clever and convenient standard features include: a third-row bench seat with foldable headrests for a flat rear cargo area, a rear glass hatch for quick access to the rear cargo area (optional on Base grade), and Smart Key System with Push Button Start for Limited. Nineteen-inch alloy wheels will be standard on both Sport and Limited gas models.
The 2008 Highlander adds significant standard features (all new V6 engine, new five-speed automatic sequential shift transmission, electronic power steering, three-row curtain side airbags, driver's knee airbag, new larger alloy wheels, etc.) with only a modest MSRP increase.
The 2008 Highlander Base grade will carry a Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price of $27,300 for the 4x2 model, an increase of $510, or 1.9 percent over the previous generation Highlander. The Base grade 4x4 will carry a base MSRP of $28,750, an increase of $560 or 2.0 percent.
The base MSRP for the Sport grade will carry a base of $29,950 for the 4x2, an increase of $985, or 3.4 percent. The Sport grade 4x4 will carry a base MSRP of $31,400, an increase of $965, or 3.2 percent.
The MSRP for the top-of-the-line Highlander Limited will be $32,700 for the 4x2, an increase of $1,890 or 6.1 percent. The Limited 4x4 will carry a base MSRP of $34,150, an increase of $1,940 or 6.0 percent. Highlander gas models will go on sale in July with hybrid models reaching Toyota dealers in late September.
Pricing for hybrid models will be announced closer to launch.
The delivery, processing and handling (DPH) fee for the 2008 Highlander was increased by $40 to $685. DPH fee for vehicles distributed by Southeast Toyota (SET) and Gulf States Toyota (GST) may vary.

Nigerian Airforce Officer Faces Court Martial For Possessing 13 Bags Of Indian Hemp
Kaduna – The Nigerian Airforce has commenced court martial proceedings against a serving senior non-commissioned officer arrested with 13 bags of Indian hemp also known as marijuana, in Kaduna State Nigeria.
Our correspondent in Kaduna, Chimezie Enyiocha, reports that some senior Airforce personnel witnessed the proceeding in line with the move to instil discipline in the Nigerian Armed Forces.
Musa Muhammad of 303 Flying School, Kano, a Master Warrant Officer was some time ago apprehended by men of the Nigerian Army task force at Koton Karfe area, along Lokoja-Abuja road for possessing 13 bags of illicit drugs confirmed later to be marijuana by the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency(NDLEA).
At the inaugural proceeding, President of the Court Martial, Group Captain Cosmos Ozougwu, said the offence the accused is being prosecuted for is punishable under section 65, sub section 1 of the Airforce Act.
The offence, according to Ozougwu, is contrary to the laws of the federation and hence the reasons for the trial session, which is to be conducted with dispatch in line with military tradition.
He maintained that the cardinal principle of the armed forces legal system is that justice must be exact, exemplary and swift without compromising legal standards.
The court martial process will last for three days.

Denise's StoryI'm always looking for healthier versions of my favorite treats. Having become aquainted with several new friends who are sensitive to gluten, I love it when I can bake something special for them! This recipe was adapted from a black bean brownie recipe. With a couple extra tweaks it can be sugar free too!
1 can(s)
white beans, drained
1/3 c
melted butter
Find more recipes at goboldwithbutter.com
2 tsp
maple syrup
1/2 c
1/2 c
brown sugar
1/2 c
chocolate chips
1/2 c
pecans or walnuts
1/4 c
jello brand vanilla pudding mix
Directions Step-By-Step
1place beans, butter, eggs, syrup,dry pudding mix and sugars in a food processor. Blend until smooth. Batter will be thin. Stir in chips and nuts.
2grease the bottom only of an 8X8 baking dish
pour batter into prepared dish
3bake at 350 degrees for 45 - 50 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean. Center will still be kind of gooey but will hold together.
4This recipe can easily be adapted to be sugar free by using SF Jello mix, splenda and agave nectar. Hershey's brand also makes a sugar free chocolate chip if you can find them!
Diane Whitbeck IRPELLC - Jul 22, 2012
Hi Denise! Is the pudding instant or the kind you cook? Is there no flour in the recipe? Thanks!
Denise Bourgault reblcgrl - Jul 22, 2012
I used the instant type. I don't know if there would be a difference between the cooked or instant since I just used the mix dry for flavor. No flour in this recipe!!!
Armanthia Duncan armdun - Jul 22, 2012
Do you know the nutrition facts for these? These sound delicious. I can't wait to make them.
Denise Bourgault reblcgrl - Jul 22, 2012
Sorry, I do not have the nutrition stats. They are a great source of protein though! ;)

TEGAM Inc., a leading supplier of innovative RF power measurements, was recently awarded Patent No. 8,558,556, "Planar-axial thermistor for bolometry." This patent describes a novel way to construct very small planar thermistors on a substrate with very low heat transfer. The thermistors are more thermally isolated from the environment than are commercially-produced thermistors. Both the small size and thermal isolation make them useful for measuring RF power at microwave frequencies up to 70 GHz.
Vishay Intertechnology Inc. introduced a new series of radial-leaded, positive temperature coefficient (PTC) thermistors. Devices in the new TFPTL <http://www.vishay.com/doc?33027> series feature nickel thin film elements with positive temperature coefficients of + 4110 ppm/K, fast response time of < 2 s, and high stability over a wide temperature range from - 55 to + 150 °C.

The countdown for the launch of the Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV-C19) commenced at the Satish Dhawan Space Centre (SDSC SHAR), Sriharikota, at 6.47 hrs here on Monday. The 71-hour countdown is considered the longest, with enough breaks for the comfort of the scientists.
The launch vehicle carries India's first Radar Imaging Satellite (RISAT-1) weighing 1,858 kg, said to be the country's heaviest satellite till date. The space scientists planned a long countdown this time to give the crew time to relax at nights to avoid fatigue.
The precise launch of PSLV-C19/RISAT-1 mission is now set for 5.47 a.m. on Thursday (April 26). During the nearly three-day long countdown, the scientists will carry out propellant-filling, mandatory checks on launch vehicle, charging of batteries and checking of ground systems.
Dr. K. Radhakrishnan, chairman of Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO), held a meeting at SHAR on Sunday and will come again on April 25 for the final launch.
A host of space scientists, including Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre director P.S. Veeraraghavan, SHAR associate director M.Y.S. Prasad, deputy director Seshagiri Rao and Liquid Propellant Systems Centre director S. Ramakrishnan will be present on the launch day. The launch was supposed to take place two months ago but was postponed for various reasons.
At the Satish Dhawan Space Centre, nearly 500 staff and scientists have been toiling hard to make the mission a success. Scientists from other space centres too were deployed to help in the launch mission.
Keywords: PSLV-C19 launch, Indian space programme
