Three years ago, lawmakers and Gov. Bev Perdue sweetened incentives to help lure TV shows, movies, commercials and other film projects to the state. The results have been dramatic, both for film activity and claims for tax breaks.
About $236 million a year has been spent on projects in the state since the change, according to new and revised reports released Wednesday by the state Department of Revenue. In the three years prior to the increased incentives, about $57 million had been spent per year on filming in North Carolina, which has long enjoyed interest from productions and is home to a major studio in Wilmington.
The reports also show a similar jump in the cost to taxpayers. Claims for incentives by film companies averaged $59 million a year since 2011. In the three prior years, the claims averaged $9.5 million per year.
The film subsidy will disappear at the end of this year unless lawmakers extend it. Film supporters say the industry in the state will fade to black, too. Opponents of the incentives say the money should support workers whose jobs last, not part of film efforts that come and go. The legislative session begins May 14.
The latest reports will be used by both sides. The reports track claims for subsidies by the film companies as well as payments the state has made to the companies.
An analysis of the data shows:
• Film activity appears to have dipped in the past year. As of last week, companies had claimed about $61 million in tax credits for productions staged in 2013, a figure expected to rise as new claims are filed. Still, that compares with $69 million in claims filed about this same time last year.
• The biggest claims in the last year were all related to TV shows. The top productions for 2013 were "Banshee," a crime show; "Revolution," an action drama; "Under the Dome," a sci-fi drama; and "Eastbound & Down," a comedy that just filmed its last season.
Those four shows alone reported total spending of $178.7 million. They are seeking about $44.6 million in subsidies.
• Not all projects in 2013 were big. Among the claims were a car-related TV series that lists one employee, with wages of $100,000; commercials for Planters and Pepsi; and an indie flick, "Grass Stains," that was filmed in Raleigh.
• Film production companies have now been paid about $120 million to make movies, TV shows and commercials in North Carolina during a span of nearly three years from July 2011 to last week. For the fiscal year that will end June 30, about $35.5 million has been paid in refunds as part of the film incentive.
At this time last year, about $48 million had been paid out. (That figure later was revised to $60 million as claims continued to be paid through the end of the fiscal year.)
• Wages last year averaged $10,078 per worker. The number of "people employed" by the film productions for 2013 was 13,649. In both cases, thousands of extras are included in those figures.
A legislative debate
The film industry has argued that the film incentives are important for preserving and supporting 4,000 or more full-time jobs in an industry that is "clean" and high-tech.
State Rep. Ted Davis Jr., a Wilmington Republican, said he is "fighting like the devil" to keep the film incentives in the state because they are important to people in the Wilmington area who elected him. He said he believes lawmakers should extend the program for at least five years so that film companies can plan ahead.
Davis said he hopes to meet with Gov. Pat McCrory soon to encourage him to extend the incentives in his proposed budget, which he is expected to release in May.
"If we want 4,200 jobs in this state with an average pay of $60,000, then we have to have the incentives," Davis said, citing numbers from a recent study commissioned by the film industry that was immediately criticized by legislative staffers.
Opponents have argued the cost is too much for jobs that come and go, that the program requires sustained subsidies year after year and that the money could be better used on other ideas. A News & Observer report last year found there is no connection between the number of jobs on a project and the amount of the incentives.
Rep. Mike Hager, a Rutherford County Republican and House majority whip, said the money spent on film incentives would be better spent on raises for teachers, state troopers and other state employees.
"I feel we've got to get government back to doing our core business and doing it well before we do anything else," he said in an interview Wednesday.
A spokeswoman for House Speaker Thom Tillis said Tillis will consider renewing the program as it makes its way through the process.
"We're always looking to find ways to increase jobs in North Carolina and will consider this incentive package accordingly," spokeswoman Anna Roberts said in an email message.
Representatives for Senate leader Phil Berger and McCrory could not be immediately reached.
Industry offers concessions
On Wednesday, an association lobbying to preserve the incentive said the film industry is willing to accept modifications in an effort to keep the program alive.
The N.C. Production Alliance – a group that represents EUE/Screen Gems Studios in Wilmington, production companies, film industry workers and others in the industry – said it is willing to prohibit late-night talk shows, reality TV shows and "sports entertainment," such as professional wrestling, from receiving incentives.
The group also wants production companies to have to spend at least $500,000 in the state to qualify for incentives, up from the current $250,000. The alliance said that would eliminate very low budget movies from using the program, though the minimum spending for commercials and student projects would remain at $250,000.
The group's proposal would also cap at 10 percent the cost of goods and services that could be acquired from out-of-state sources and require film companies to pay an application fee that would go toward an "NC Film Trail" to boost film-related tourism, among other changes.

Licensing VDI for Microsoft Desktops – is it rocket science?
• • 0 Comments
Given all the past ingenuity and accomplishment why is it, in 2011, the mere task of assigning valid licenses to desktop virtualisation should appear an arcane process?
How do different virtualization models impact how you license your desktop services? What are the current licensing models and do they apply in all instances of desktop virtualisation? Do the models impact on provisioning of services be they laptops, thin clients, Bring Your Own Computer (BYOC), or mobile devices?
Is desktop virtualization licensing an intentionally complex process and what other options could there be?

With Microsoft reporting that Windows 7 VDI environments can be up to 11% more expensive than Windows 7 with traditional desktops when will desktop virtualisation give you a return on investment? Will performance taxes, license taxes and complexity taxes mean that desktop virtualisation will never be more than a niche service regardless of the clamour from VDI vendors hailing 2011 as the year for VDI as they did in 2010?
Or, is it that the taxation can be accommodated, all be it without short term gains because your business will benefit from the representation of a user's application set not simply from their cubicle's monitor?

I've been reading about how hard it is to cancel your trial membership with myFico. Some called it a scam, a hoax, a bait-and-switch, the ole' flim flam.
Needless to say, I was dreading calling them. But today was the day it needed to be done.
I was on old for approximately 10 minutes (to be expected when everyone is calling the same number and there are no routing options). Spoke to a good guy named Kerry. Asked why I wanted to cancel, offered the "stay with us" special, and then canceled! Boom! Just like that, confirmation email and all. The whole conversation lasted MAYBE 5 minutes...
AAANNNDDD... this gentleman did confirm that myFico will be getting Experian scores in the next 90 days. I didn't ask if they were FAKO or FICO, but they're getting some version of EX.
I wrote all that to say this, I will definitely be a customer of myFico in the future. Pleasant experience today.
myFICO is the consumer division of FICO. Since its introduction 20 years ago, the FICO® Score has become a global standard for measuring credit risk in the banking, mortgage, credit card, auto and retail industries. 90 of the top 100 largest U.S. financial institutions use the FICO Score to make consumer credit decisions.>> About myFICO

January $90 puts were the most active options traded in the previous session, with 8,358 lots changing hands. They rose 13 cents to 22 cents a barrel. The next-most active options, February $135 calls, declined 2 cents to 18 cents on volume of 5,370 contracts.

Pharmacyclics Announces Presentation Of Phase III And Long Term Follow Up Data On IMBRUVICA™ In Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL) At ASCO
SUNNYVALE, Calif., April 21, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Pharmacyclics, Inc. (NASDAQ: PCYC) today announced that data from the Phase III PCYC-1112 (RESONATE ™) study of single agent IMBRUVICA ™ (ibrutinib) vs. ofatumumab, an established therapy in relapsed refractory CLL, as well as data from an Independent Efficacy Evaluation of IMBRUVICA after three years of follow-up, will be presented at the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) 50th Annual Meeting in Chicago, Illinois May 30 - June 3, 2014. IMBRUVICA is being jointly developed and commercialized by Pharmacyclics and Janssen Biotech, Inc.
"At the interim analysis of the RESONATE Phase III study in January, the data showed that IMBRUVICA improved with statistical significance the overall survival of patients with relapsed or refractory CLL versus ofatumumab, an anti-CD-20 antibody similar to rituximab. IMBRUVICA also provided a significant progression-free survival benefit for these patients," said John C. Byrd, M.D., Director, Division of Hematology, The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center – Arthur G. James Cancer Hospital & Richard J. Solove Research Institute and lead investigator on the RESONATE study. "I am excited by the oral, once daily, single agent, 'chemo-free' profile IMBRUVICA offers patients. This class of drugs is transformative to the way we treat patients today. I look forward to providing detailed results of the benefits seen in the IMBRUVICA patients at the ASCO meeting."
"We have two historic oral presentations at this year's ASCO, one showing for the first time a Survival Benefit with IMBRUVICA in a large randomized trial, and the other evaluating the three-year safety and efficacy of IMBRUVICA in relapsed and refractory CLL patients with a median of four prior therapies," said Bob Duggan, CEO and Chairman of Pharmacyclics. "Our team is currently exploring the clinical benefits of IMBRUVICA in 42 clinical trials, of which 10 are large Phase III studies in a broad variety of B-Cell malignancies. With each passing month, I am increasingly pleased with the launch progress we are making, in partnership with our colleagues at Janssen, as we bring IMBRUVICA to market for CLL and MCL patients across the United States."
RESONATE represents the first randomized Phase III study of IMBRUVICA in patients with CLL.

The Vatican has become the first customer to purchase EMC's Elastic Cloud Storage (ECS) technology.
The EMC ECS Appliance, marketed as a breakthrough hyperscale storage infrastructure designed for the data centre, is powered by EMC's ViPR 2.0. It has been designed in an effort to redefine storage economics, and balance the benefits of the public cloud - cost, simplicity, scalability - with the security and control of the private cloud.
The Vatican has purchased a full rack (3PB object store) as part of a project to digitise its historical artefacts.
Announcing ECS's inaugural customer, David Goulden, CEO of EMC Information Infrastructure, said: "ECS has been endorsed by a power higher than any of us. A great customer and, I can assure you, a very important customer for us to keep happy going forward."
One of the oldest libraries in the world, the Vatican Apostolic Library holds many of the rarest and most valuable documents in existence including the 42 line Latin Bible of Gutenberg, the first book printed with movable type and dating between 1451 and 1455.
EMC is supporting the Vatican Library's goal of preserving in an ISO-certifiable digital format delicate texts vulnerable to deterioration and decay from repeated handling, ensuring that the accumulated knowledge of generations is freely available for future study.
Additional manuscripts being digitised include:
- The Sifra, a Hebrew manuscript written between the end of the 9th Century and the middle of the 10th, one of the oldest extant Hebrew codes;
- Greek testimonies of the works of Homer, Sophocles, Plato and Hippocrates-The famous incunabulum of Pius II's De Europa, printed by Albrecht Kunne in Memmingen in around 1491;
- The Code-B, one of the oldest extant manuscripts of the Greek Bible, dated to the 4th Century.

At your next barbecue, throw this info around, courtesy of Cory Bricker:
If you thought the term pig arose in the 1960s, you're in for a surprise. The OED cites an 1811 reference to a "pig" as a Bow Street Runner–the early police force, named after the location of their headquarters, before Sir Robert Peel and the Metropolitan Police Force … Before that, the term "pig" had been used as early as the mid-1500s to refer to a person who is heartily disliked.
The usage was probably confined to the criminal classes until the 1960s, when it was taken up by protestors. False explanations for the term involve the gas masks worn by the riot police in that era, or the pigs in charge of George Orwell's Animal Farm.
Then there's JVC's explanation: "I think [calling cops "pigs"] started because of the extreme similarity of body type—thick necks, obese bodies, etc, and how they both scrum on their food/victims."7:56 am on April 24, 2014 Email Becky Akers

Do you budget all your gift purchases for the holidays? I try to stick under a certain amount for each child, also to make it even. If I don't do it, it gets out of control!

Bump N Grind
Senior Member
~ Part 1 ~
Garen leaned his head forward as his red-haired lover pressed up against his bare chest for a kiss. The succulent taste of Katarina's lips drove Garen into an ecstasy every time they made contact. Even now, after nearly ten years of being married, Garen still felt the emotions of new love igniting in his heart. He laid on his back, nested comfortably within the bed sheets, while his hands caressed his wife's smooth back; rubbing the impeccably curvaceous woman he longed to hold after an exhausting day of political duty. Her hands roamed across his muscular chest; pausing every so often to squeeze his hardened pecs. The longer they went on in this lovers embrace the more Garen felt his heart racing. Katarina suddenly pulled back and stared into her husband's brown eyes with a devilish smile.
"I'm going to enjoy this." She whispered softly.
"I will make sure of that." Garen pushed forward to bring his lips onto Katarina's once more, but she pushed him back and shook her head while placing a finger on his lips.
"Please, allow me?" She seductively imposed. A wild passion glared in her green eyes. Garen chuckled and relinquished control just this once. Katarina smiled and reached down near Garen's head. He knew she loved to rub her fingers through his short hair. A flash of silver shined against the moonlight coming through the window and Garen realized his wife was now holding a dagger to his throat.
"Wh-what are you-"
"Silence!" Katarina viciously ran the blade through. Garen gasped for air as his vision blurred. Everything went blank for a split second and then his eyes burst open and he quickly sat up, realizing what he experienced was only a dream. Garen's chest beat thunderously and his breaths were heavy. Sweat dripped from his hair as he rubbed his forehead to clear his mind. Just to make sure, he looked over to his left and a sigh of relief passed over when he saw Katarina laying peacefully asleep. This was not the first time Garen had a nightmare in which his wife committed some act of treachery. And just like the previous nights, he would be up for hours pondering over the images which remained etched into his mind for days at a time. Not wanting to disturb his wife's rest, Garen cautiously eased his way out of the bed and strolled along the glossy tiled floors of his chamber towards the outer balcony. He slowly pulled open the sliding doors of the wide-arched entryway while turning back frequently to make sure Katarina had not awakened.
Once through the doors, he quietly closed them and then leaned onto the balcony railing. Taking in a deep breath of the soothing midnight air, Garen gazed up into the full moon. An overwhelming sense of deja vu struck him for he was in this same position just a few nights ago. Despite having these nightmares, nothing in Garen's daily life indicated his marriage was in danger. In fact, the love he and Katarina shared felt stronger than ever.
After the ordeal in Kalamanda all those years ago, Katarina and Garen soon took comfort in each other's company despite the complications of having rival ancestry. Garen had always been aware of Katarina's vicious nature. After all, one does not go by the title "Sinister Blade" for nothing. Still, Katarina was able to make her affair with Garen possible and after they were married she reluctantly embraced a new title as "The Blades of Passion," for she no longer wielded her father's knives for untempered slaughtering, but for the love and thrill of a great battle. Garen often wondered if Katarina was truly happy with her life in Demacia and if she would ever go back to her old ways. With more nightmares Garen feared their love may have imprisoned Katarina's true nature and now she was yearning to break free. Was he on the verge of losing his marriage?
Garen looked out into the distance using the high view of his towering estate. At first he half-expected to see some sort of sign confirming whether or not his fears were becoming a reality, but then something caught his eyes' attention. Far off beyond the walls of Demacia was a floating object of some sort which later revealed to be a flying creature with enormous wings. An omen perhaps? Years of service under King Jarvan IV had caused Garen's once disbelief in the supernatural to morph into paranoia; hence the fears of his recent nightmares. Moonlight shone onto the creature and Garen was partially relieved to see the friendly blue feathers of Valor, but also slightly disappointed his question remained unanswered. Seeing Valor meant Quinn was also en route back to the city. Garen groaned because he knew what would follow. As per usual, the return of Quinn always came with some scouting report which Jarvan would spend hours discussing with his military officials. Since Garen's sleep had been interrupted once again he would face another day of drowsily sitting in a meeting. Knowing what to expect, he forced himself back into bed only to wind up staring outside his window for another thirty minutes before finally drifting asleep.
~ Part 2 ~
Just as Garen had anticipated, a meeting was held in the King's council chambers. A semi-circle table filled the room and all the council members took their seats along the outer side. Jarvan sat in the middle with Garen to the right. The sound of typical morning banter filled room as everyone waited for the meeting to officially begin.
"My good man you seem rather weary." Jarvan said to Garen.
"I have not been able to sleep well." Garen said as a yawn forced itself out of him. He shook his head to wake up. Sunlight flooded the room from the large window to the left and reflected in all directions from the golden decors along the walls. Garen felt like he was in a Solari temple.
"You should get some rest after the meeting. I will need you later in the day."
"What for?"
Jarvan was cut off from answering by the double doors opening. He pounded a little stone object against the table to silence the voices running around. Quinn entered the room in a blue tunic along with her falcon, Valor, hovering above.
"Greetings, my Lords." Quinn said as she bowed gracefully. A mixture of smiles and welcoming gestures returned the greeting.
"Welcome, Lady Quinn. What news have you brought before the council this day?" Jarvan said with a slight hint of cheer in his voice.
"My Lords, what I have witnessed is not to be taken lightly. I have seen dark forces gathering within the Shadow Isles."
"Bah, that land is tainted with black magic. This is not news." said one of the council members far down on the right; a short, stubby, bearded fellow.
"I suggest you listen to her before making such judgements." The eerie, yet always distinguishable voice of Vayne filled the room. The dark haired huntress entered the room from a secret door within the right wall. She took off her signature red glasses and leaned against the edge of the table.
"What are you doing in here? This meeting is private." said the stubby old man.
"Exactly why I didn't bother using the front door." Vayne replied with little care of the councilman's outrage.
"Alright, I will let this intrusion pass." Jarvan tapped his stone on the table to regain order. "Please, Quinn, continue."
"Right, as I was saying, there is something in the Shadow Isles. Being an expert on black magic, I consulted with Vayne immediately upon my return in order to accurately understand what I saw. Val..." Quinn reached up as the bird dropped a tiny scroll into her palm. Unraveling the scroll, Quinn glanced over the page and then turned it around to show everyone else. Whispers filled the room as the image of a spectral character was revealed; having a perfectly polished mane of hair, wearing a tattered cloak, and two "S" shaped blades floating in the air. The likes of ghostly horseman and soul collectors were known in Valoran, but nothing quite like the creature on the scroll had been seen. In fact, for something which appeared in the Shadow Isles, everyone was mesmerized by the humanly appearance of the character.
"Who, or what, exactly is this?" Jarvan asked.
"The image is without color, but the actual figure I saw was purely black and white with greyed skin. Unfortunately, Vayne and myself have not had enough time to go through the archives and figure out exactly what this being is. However, Vayne does recall reading about an old race long extinct, known as the Illuminatra. Neither of us have enough knowledge on them to know for a fact, but rest assured we are investigating."
The room went silent as the council rattled their brains to pull up an old memory of what Quinn described.
"There is more." Quinn continued. "This being was accompanied by several men, or women. Each was covered in a dark cloak, but one carried an artifact which I am completely certain bore the symbol of The Black Rose."
A wave of disbelief sounded from the council, but Jarvan settled them down.
"Quinn, are you absolutely sure of what you saw?" Jarvan asked. The cheer from his voice turned to worry.
"Yes, Sire."
Jarvan looked to Vayne for some explanation, but she merely said, "I have not seen any sign of them since the events of Kalamanda."
"Then they could very well have spent all this time plotting their next move." Jarvan said.
"To do what?" said another council member.
"The Black Rose are capable of anything if they try hard enough. I suggest we stay alert. Keep track of the whereabouts of everyone you know. I of all people should know what The Deceiver is capable of." Jarvan remembered the time when LeBlanc had captured him in secret only to pose as the Exemplar of Demacia.
Garen was now fully awake. The paranormal entity Quinn held up became the subject of Garen's thoughts, but in the back of his mind remained the worries about Katarina.
"I am calling an emergency close of this meeting. I need to gather my officers immediately to discuss safety measures in case The Black Rose are plotting something." Jarvan banged the stone object on the table to signal the meeting's end. "Council will return in the afternoon. Notices will be sent within the hour. Meeting adjourned."
Everyone stood up and scattered out of the room while talking amongst one another of The Black Rose. Quinn and Valor left with Vayne to continue their research. Garen walked alongside Jarvan as the two of them tossed ideas back and forth about The Black Rose's possible agenda. Garen considered asking Katarina to join them, but she had already left for some personal matters.
To be continued...

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"I had ordered a menu card to use as a Thank You card. Kristen called to help me with my ordered and suggested that I use the response card. I put a picture of us on the front and below it said Thank you and our names. On the back "Thank you for attending our wedding and for those that could not make it you were missed" Blessings & Love It showed up in 5 days. The card is beautiful and just what I wanted. The customer service was excellent!"
"I created a customized design with colors that matched my wedding invites (aqua and coral). I love the tile band, it looks so classy and timeless. The card stock is strong and of great quality. I'm not crazy about the wedding paper divas logo on the back, but I understand that some companies need to advertise! Highly recommend this stationary. It is a *small* index size card, just in case you don't read the dimensions (as I don't!), but I still found there was plenty of room to write my thank you notes."
"The cards where easy to customize and WPD where very swift with making the changes and send us a proof to review and approve. When we ordered the matching invitations we had some major customization done since we are Swedish and wanted all the text in Swedish and also writing on the back. WPD where extremely easy to work with than and also this time. The paper has a very nice, thick and somewhat structured feel that looks expensive. Its thick enough so that a thin pen wouldn't show from the other side when writing your note on the inside. I love this design and I can't wait to send them to our guests after the wedding."
"Loved the card only problem is that I thought it was just the front decor and plane back side, it is a card you can open if you want to have someone at wedding paper divas write something inside the card for you be very specific because mine came with the writing on the back/outside of the card which looked really weird. But nice card if done correctly"
"I bought the entire collection of this design for our peacock themed wedding. They are beautiful and look like they are hand painted with watercolor. The detail is amazing and the linen paper is the perfect touch for a classy event. Very thrilled with the customer service and speedy delivery time."

Book Review: The Mortal Bone
By Sandy Amazeen Jan 17, 2012, 7:46 GMT
When the bond Maxine Kiss shares with the demons tattooed on her skin is deliberately severed, the demon hunter is left vulnerable and unprotected. For the first time in ten thousand years, the demons have a taste of freedom. And as the little demons grow more violent and unpredictable, Maxine starts to fear they will lose their minds without her. Reuniting won\'t be easy, since a greater temptation waits for ...more
Fans of the Hunter Kiss series will enjoy the additional background information about the bonds between Maxine Kiss and the living tattoos she affectionately refers to as the boys. Peeling off her skin at sunset, the five little demons are actually the feared Reaper Kings of old and so violent, the living prison of a line of genetically altered women was designed to hold them. Shortly after a demon-possessed woman delivered a terrifying crystal skull in a bowling bag, things started going wrong for Maxine and her soul mate Grant, the Lightbringer. It was thought the bonds the boys and Maxine shared were unbreakable but one fateful afternoon she learns otherwise, nearly at the cost of her life. The question is, who or what is behind the destruction of the Reaper Kings prison and how bad are things going to get now that they are free for the first time in ten million years.
As Maxine struggles with the sense of loss at the forced separation, Grant, who nearly died in his efforts to save her, works to keep his growing powers under control. With the Reaper Kings and others on the loose, control could be the last thing they need as a major showdown between demons begins playing out, literally in Maxines front yard. Maxine must embrace the dark power within if she is to have a chance at saving herself, loved ones and preventing a literal hell on earth.
Lius fourth book of the series contributes a wealth of background information to Maxine and the women of her family line plus the role her father and demons played in past events while setting up the storyline for more action. The relationship between the Reaper Kings and Maxine is one of the backbones of this fast moving installment as are the deepening bonds between her and Grant. With an unusual twist to demon mythology, strong character development and a nice sense of history, this series is a treat.

According to a quick internet search I did, it was reported that both of the bombers were naturalized citizen of the US.
Report: Boston bomber became American citizen on Sep 11, 2012 in Boston | Creeping Sharia
If it is in fact true that they are US citizens, it concerns me that the government wants to declare him a enemy combatant and strip him of his rights afforded to him under our Constitution so quickly. Regardless of how bad the crime was, the US Government better have all its ducks in a row and have some serious information to support that they were working with an international terrorist organization before they start stripping rights away? If they don't have that info, he should be treated the same as OK bomber was. Am I being paranoid or no?

Baby Seahorse Jacket
We are adding the craft to your Craft Projects.
The project was added to your Craft Projects.
Click here to view your Craft Projects.
This adorable Baby Seahorse Jacket is a sweet gift to give to the new little one in your life. Decorated with fabric markers, homemade baby clothes like this have never been easier. This nautical coat is perfect for little girls, but you can easily make it more masculine by adding more blues or drawing a fish or shark instead of a seahorse.
- One mint green newborn baby jacket
- Acrilex Acrilpen fabric markers in the following colors: 520 Preto (black); 513 Verde Musgo (dark green); 537 Rosa (pink); 505 Amarelo Ouro (bright yellow)
- Pencil
- Piece of old cardboard
- Iron and ironing board
- Pattern of Seahorse
Before starting with the design project, wash the jacket in baby shampoo and rinse it thoroughly in cold water to remove any sizing agent from the material. Do not add fabric softener.
Allow the jacket to dry thoroughly and iron it lightly to remove any wrinkles from the material.
Put the jacket flat on the working surface. Slide a sheet of cardboard inside the jacket, between the back and front sides of the jacket ~ this will prevent the ink from staining the back side. Keep this cardboard in place until you have ironed the design.
Trace the design onto the jacket with a pencil first.
Color the seahorse with the pink fabric marker.
Add some yellow to the stomach of the seahorse.
Use the dark green and black fabric markers to add some detail and shadows to the seahorse.
Draw an eye with the black marker.
Add a pink border all around the jacket, as well as around the sleeves.
Color the fabric in the press studs green, so that it will look as if the jacket has small green buttons.
- Iron the whole jacket to set the fabric markers.
- Work in a well-ventilated area.
- Wait for 72 hours before washing the completed item.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"Had many edits: changed dinner to luncheon, additional wording on front with specifics about event on back. Customer service was a pleasure to work with; knowledgeable, helpful & patient. Wish all customer service experiences were as pleasant as what I encounterd at Wedding Paper Divas."
"We ordered this as a sample and ended up choosing this one. It was fun and colorful and went along with the style of our rehearsal dinner venue (a winery). I requested a different background color and they were able to fulfill my request. The final product was GORGEOUS. I went with rounded edges versus the sample cut and thought it looked nicer."
"We were looking for something with a rustic feel for our rehearsal dinner and this card is perfect! The paper quality is fantastic, and the colors are bright and vivid. The type is easy to read. We are excited to mail these out!!"
"Wonderful quality, heavy invite paper, nice options for font colors, easy and quick to design and select options on the web site, beautiful printing, super communications, AND super fast processing and shipping time. Thank you!"
"I was able to customize this invitation with colors that matched my wedding. I also added a picture to the back which added a special touch! Everyone has been commenting on how much they love them!!"

Kraft recalls string cheese because it can spoil early
Kraft Foods Group is voluntarily recalling some varieties of Kraft and Polly-O String Cheese and String Cheese Twists products.
These products may spoil before their "Best When Used By" code dates, leading to product discoloration.
The affected products all have code dates from October 25, 2013 through February 11, 2014.
Approximately 735,000 cases of the affected product were shipped to customers across the United States.
The affected product was not distributed in Canada.
The following varieties are being recalled:
Consumers can find the "Best When Used By" date on the back of multi-count packages toward the bottom. For string cheese products labeled for individual sale, the "Best When Used By" date is on the bottom front of the package.
No other Kraft or Polly-O String Cheese or String Cheese Twists products -- or any other Kraft Foods or Polly-O products -- are being recalled.
Kraft is conducting this recall after receiving several reports from consumers of premature spoilage of some of the string cheese products listed above. Kraft has ceased the production and distribution of the affected products from the relevant facility as the company continues its investigation to resolve the problem.
Consumers who purchased any product listed above should not eat it. They should return it to the store where purchased for an exchange or full refund.

Senate Democrats held a press conference just now to reflect on this year's legislative session, which they called the "worst in memoray" and said was dominated by "an off-shoot of the Republican party" that put ideology ahead of the state's best interest. "If there's one thing this session … probably did accomplish, it was to illustrate very boldly to the people of Idaho what they got out of the last election," said Sen. Elliot Werk, D-Boise. "If the people of Idaho are paying any attention, maybe they'll decide that they've had enough."
Sen. Les Bock, D-Boise, said, "I'll tell ya, any party that sponsors legislation to put guns on campus, who essentially equates the affordable health care act to Adolph Hitler, that is a party that does not deserve to be in power." Sen. Nicole LeFavour, D-Boise, said, "This current Republican Party is not the one that's represented many independents and moderate Republicans for many years. … We hope they'll join us."
Democrats hold just seven seats in the 35-member Senate; they contended that the policies the majority pushed this year, from school reform to Medicaid cuts, will hurt Idaho's economy by eliminating both public- and private-sector jobs. LeFavour said, "This particular Legislature was so preoccupied with … battling each other on fringe issues that they didn't pay attention to the economy." Click below to read the Senate Democrats' full statement on the session.

Senate Democrats Call 2011 Legislative Session Worst in Memory
Boise – Idaho's Democratic Senators are calling the almost-concluded 2011 Session the worst in their collective memories and blame this on the shifting of the Republican Party to the far right and on special interests guiding too much public policy, now including K-12 education.
"The movement to the far right by many in the Statehouse has eroded reasonable discourse and suppressed the voices of average Idahoans," said Senator Les Bock, Assistant Minority Leader. "Closing primary elections will aggravate this trend toward party purification until the GOP is represented by only the most ideological candidates."
Senator Edgar Malepeai, Minority Leader, said, "This was the toughest session in my nine years in office and I am dismayed by the outcome in terms of both legislation passed and legislation refused consideration." "Moderate, independent views were often ignored which, at a time when recent polling points to a rise among those who identify themselves as such, means too many of our citizens may be lacking proper representation."
There was an unprecedented level of citizen involvement in the legislative process this year but these views were consistently ignored by the majority party which feels authorized to act unilaterally when making laws that impact so many. From education to Medicaid cuts to measures targeting Idaho's middle class, our constituents are not satisfied with the direction the state is heading.
"We have heard from the sponsors of the Otter/Luna education overhaul that there is a 'silent majority' who support this proposal and only a vocal minority who stood in opposition," said Minority Caucus Chair Michelle Stennett. "If anyone knows what a minority looks like, it would be us, and calling the groundswell of opposition a minority shows a disdain for the democratic process."
As the Republican party demonstrates an unwillingness to focus on the critical issues facing the state, Democrats welcome moderate Republicans and Independents not only into our Primary Elections, but into the Democratic party to once again build a powerful voice of opposition to create better balance and better policy for Idaho's schools, communities, economy and families.

Ashley Tisdale is a Sexy WitchMovie News By Robert Fure on April 18, 2008 | (2) Comments
Bolstered to stardom by the High School Musical franchise, sexy and now pop-music starlet Ashley Tisdale will star in the upcoming United Artists remake of Teen Witch. The story follows a dorky teenage girl that discovers she is descended from a line of witches. I'm sure then she'll activate her powers, battle some sort of Bully Queen, make friends, alienate friends, and then correct everything at the end, which will probably take place at a school dance.
The original follows…. The original isn't even worth watching or talking about. Imagine Teen Wolf but if it sucked and was called Teen Witch and it sucked. Also it sucked.
Hopefully the new movie will be worth a watch. Tisdale is also apparently being groomed for her own TV show. Despite the fact there has been no work done on Teen Witch, it will hit theaters next year – a true sign of the quality it will be.

This spray-on, water-resistant sunscreen is positioned as a body oil that happens to provide sun protection, but its formula is minimally moisturizing. Broad-spectrum sun protection is assured and this contains stabilized avobenzone for reliable UVA screening, but that's about it. The packaging is colorful and eye-catching, and the spray-on application convenient, but the amount of alcohol in the formula is potentially problematic.
Vichy mentions the "powerful antioxidants" this fragrance-free sunscreen contains yet they are the last two ingredients in the formula. Besides, research has shown that alcohol causes free-radical damage, which is what antioxidants work to prevent, so you have to wonder how much the antioxidants can really benefit your skin if they're also battling the free-radical generation from the alcohol. In the end, this is an OK option for normal to slightly dry skin but there are better, less expensive spray-on sunscreens at the drugstore.
Provides broad-spectrum UVA + UVB protection and fights skin-aging free radicals. It contains a unique combination of effective UV filters
and powerful antioxidants (Vitamin E and White Grape Polyphenol) to help protect your skin at the cellular level* to keep it looking healthy and beautiful.
This non-greasy, lightweight formula for sensitive skin is allergy-tested, fragrance-free and water-resistant. It is absorbed quickly and does not leave skin feeling sticky or greasy.
*surface layers of the skin
Active: Avobenzone 3%, Homosalate 5%, Octisalate 5%, Octocrylene 7%, Oxybenzone 6%
Cosmetic: Water, Glycerin, Propanediol, Alcohol Denat., Dimethicone, Isodecyl Neopentanoate, Cyclopentasiloxane, PEG-100 Stearate, Glyceryl Stearate, Arachidyl Alcohol, Potassium Cetyl Phosphate, VP/Eicosene Copolymer, Silica Behenyl Alcohol, Trimethylsiloxysilicate, Arachidyl Glucoside, Polycrylamide, Xanthan Gum, C13-14 Isoparaffin, p-Anisic Acid, Isodium EDTA, Laureth-7, Tocopherol, Vitis Vinifera (Grape) Fruit Extract
Health is vital. That's the opening line on Vichy's catalog, followed by "Start with your skin." Perusing the opening pages of this catalog, it's easy to see how someone could get wrapped up in this L'Oreal-owned company's belief in listening to the signals skin sends us and then choosing products to address whatever problem skin is signaling you to correct. That might include acne, blackheads, eczema, discolorations, broken capillaries, and even excess oiliness. No surprises there, and it is sound advice to adapt your skin-care routine as your skin's needs (and signals) change. The problem is that Vichy's products, though well intentioned, are incapable of addressing several common problems, including most of those listed above. About all you can expect from most Vichy moisturizers is relief from dryness. That's it. Every product's claims "talk the talk," but they cannot possibly walk the walk because what's in them is, for the most part, standard, and without any research behind it to show that it makes a difference.
A big-deal ingredient for Vichy is their Thermal Spa Water. It is said to reduce irritation, strengthen skin's natural defenses, and provide free radical–quelling activity thanks to its trace minerals and salt. There is no substantiated proof to support these claims, save for a somewhat primitive chart Vichy provides to show this water helps reduce cutaneous signs of irritation (what it was compared to, if anything, is unknown). Two other L'Oreal-owned brands, Biotherm and La Roche-Posay, have similar special waters, each claiming to be mineral-rich. Yet if these are so unique and wonderfully beneficial for everyone's skin, why don't all L'Oreal-owned lines such as Lancome, L'Oreal, Kiehl's, SkinCeuticals, and The Body Shop, use them, too?
As expected, there are some bona fide winners among Vichy's products, but using Vichy exclusively with the expectation that their products have the answer to whatever your skin needs to have fixed is like thinking green tea is the only food your body needs.
Note: Vichy is categorized as a brand that tests on animals because its products are sold in China. Although Vichy does not conduct animal testing for its products sold elsewhere, the Chinese government requires imported cosmetics be tested on animals, so foreign companies retailing there must comply. This requirement is why some brands state that they don't test on animals "unless required by law." Animal rights organizations consider cosmetic companies retailed in China to be brands that test on animals, and so does the Paula's Choice Research Team.

Taste Test: Peanut Butter
Not many can resist this luscious spread: It's found in 90 percent of American pantries. We tasted 24 versions of this childhood favorite to see which creamy and crunchy varieties came out on top.
Can't get enough of peanut butter's nutty-goodness? Try these PB desserts, cookies, and snacks to help satisfy your peanut cravings.
By The Good Housekeeping Research Institute
365 Organic Unsweetened Creamy Peanut Butter
365 Organic Unsweetened Creamy Peanut Butter ($4.39 for 18 oz.) earned compliments for its classic, silky-smooth consistency. Tasters said, "It reminds me of old-school peanut butter," and that its just-like-peanuts flavor made it difficult to tell that it is unsweetened. Only a few felt it seemed almost too smooth.
