Pottery Video of the Week: How to Make a Textured Sushi Plate Using a Wiggle Wire
Posted By Nan Rothwell On November 28, 2014 @ 5:14 am In Daily,Features,Video,Wheel Throwing Techniques | 53 Comments
Wiggle wires are a super fun way to make texture on pottery. You can get wiggle wires from pottery suppliers or make your own by stretching out springs (get the springs at the hardware store or by taking apart a ballpoint pen). One technique that I especially love is using a wiggle wire to cut pots off the wheel, thus creating an interesting texture on the bottom of the piece — a great alternative to trimming a foot.
In today's video, an excerpt from Wheel Throwing with Nan Rothwell, Nan takes that concept a step further by throwing her pot upside down and cutting it off with the wiggly wire, creating texture on the top of the piece. Have a look and think of more directions to take this technique. – Jennifer Harnetty, editor.

Rabbit Resistant Perennials and Bulbs
Daffodil Bulbs A-Z
Narcissus Orange Mane
The bright, amber-orange rim of this Large-cupped hybrid catches your eye, dazzling against broad, creamy white outer petals. The frilly corona pales to milk white at the outside of its base, emphasizing the bold contrast. Early midseason.
Large, bright Narcissus blooms are for many gardeners the first visible signs of spring. These vigorous, long-lived bulbs thrive joyously in sunny, well-drained places, are shunned by hungry deer and voles, and will thrive and multiply with little care on your part, creating a glorious landscape and a horticultural legacy.

Some nice things happened on the way through life.....
Paw Prints: Writings of the maddog
Recently a couple of very nice things happened to me.
I needed a favor, and a friend of mine reached out to help me.
They were person who I have known for about ten years, and although they have always been nice to me, this last "help" was just when it was needed most.
As I thanked him, he reminded me that I was instrumental in getting him into Free Software, and that this had made a huge, positive difference in his life.
He reminded me that I had invited him to join me at dinner with the CEO of a company where he soon found employment.
He reminded me that I had taken him to visit my two goddaughters, and as we sat on the floor playing with them, their father, Linus Torvalds, came into the room and talked with us a bit. Afterwards we left the house and he said that I was "never to do that to him again". "Do what?", I asked, "I told you I was going to see my god-daughters...."
I had "forgotten" about these times, but of course I remembered them when he told me. I am glad when I can influence someone's life in a positive way.
When I met Mark Spencer, the creator of the Asterisk project, he told me that a talk I gave at a conference in 1999 convinced him to make the project Free and Open Source. It is revelations like this that keep me going.
Last week I met a man at a conference. He told me that he had listened to me at a convention one time, and he started to move his company to work only with Free Software. Now he had completed that task, and he found that he could do more with his software because he could modify it to meet his needs. He was not a programmer, but he could hire people who were, and since he had the source code for his software, he could have them change it.
I asked the gentleman if he had ever written an article for a magazine about his use of Free Software in his business. He looked surprised and asked me if anyone would really want to read it? I answered that there would be lots of people interested in such an article. Perhaps they were people whose business was a bit different from his, but they would find inspiration from his success.
He promised me that he would write such an article.
And so it goes...we influence people in big ways, and often we do not realize it. You may think that what you say about Free Software has little impact, but you may affect someone....
Carpe Diem!
You impacted my life tooI met you near JSC - Houston around 1993 (I could be off a yr or so). My team was building the new mission control center for shuttle and space station missions using DEC Alphas and you'd just come back from some conference where you'd committed to get an Alpha to Linus. There were about 4 of us in the tiny room chatting about our needs. I was porting code from SPARC/SunOS to Solaris, AIX, HP-UX, Irix, Win32, and Mac - basically, we needed to have royalty free universe-wide distribution of our code. Yes, it runs on the space shuttle and station too.
My memory is fuzzy now, but I think you said we could stop developing for all the different platforms and should concentrate on Linux. Linux would run on almost every hardware platform. You were certainly a visionary ... I use Linux and FOSS almost exclusively (Damn MS-Visio!) now.
Although you probably don't remember this meeting, it made a huge impact in my life. Oh, and thanks for the "Born to Do Linux - Alpha" temporary tattoo.
MarkersWe all walk through life carrying a box of markers.
Sometimes, its indelible ink we leave on everyone we meet...
Scrawls reminiscent of something a two-year old would make on the living room wall...
Other times its a wax-crayon with just a smudge on your cheek...
but marks we leave none the less.
Walk softly through life carrying the super-sized-every-colour-you-can-image box of crayons.
Use wisely.

Everything that I order from this company is fantastic. This is where I find a lot of "Hard to find" items. This item was no exception. Easy to order and fast delivery. I used these as favors, so everyone remembers the special occasion.
Best Uses
I used these at an outdoor surprise 21st birthday party. You truly don't need any other decorations, these flashing LED cups steal the show! Love the way you can customize in so many different ways. My only advice is to remember to enlarge the font when customizing. There are four speeds on the cups, so we had them flashing wildly when the birthday boy arrived and then turned them to "still" as we sat down for dinner. These were easy to personalize, and the delivery is unbelievably quick.

Best Uses
We have an annual super bowl party and this is the 2nd year I've bought personalized LED mugs. They're great party favors and a good value! I stuff them with Mardi Gras beads, clappers, and football whistles and they're a total hit! Last year I bought the beer mugs, which were more popular with my adult guests. The Cola Cups would be great for tween/teen parties. A truly great price for a fun, PERSONALIZED product.

Step 1
You have to have installed the Full Version of DarthMod Empire v8.0. Find all download mirrors here: DarthMod Empire v8.0 Platinum Download.
Step 2
Open the Launcher and do Settings->Enable Restore Mode->Close Launcher->Select "Vanilla Ready" It is necessary to do this so to be sure that all the gameplay files get updated correctly. (If you have previously installed Beta Update 20+ you do not need to do this procedure).
Step 3
Run the Patch installer and follow the instructions (they are similar to the installer of the full version).
You can now play DarthMod Empire as previously with all the newest enhancements and fixes by using the launcher and re-applying your preferred settings.
PS. To be sure check that the DME_darthmod.pack file has date 20/3/2013. If yes then the patch is installed correctly.You can find the file in the games data folder usually in C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\empire total war\data

if someone knows an easier way to install casua belli 2.2 ,please post in comments
Could someone upload a package suitable for distribution to Linux users who are running Empire: Total War on Linux? Needless to say, Windows installers are incompatible with Linux.
Can anybody add Ukraine(Hetmanat) to this mod. It is not accurate in the historial part without this faction. Ivan Masepa was a great hetman and made Ukraine a major european country. Please post in comments if you know the sollution.
Is it possible for someone to tell me how to stop all the marches being the same? I hate it when my enemy plays the same thing I do.
best total war mod ever!!!!!!!! its more realistic and everything, now it makes empire playable and not like the vanilla empire which is boring.
awesome mod. wish there was a way to add 1 year 24 turns mod with this

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
"So God Made a Farmer" was the name given to a speech given by the radio broadcaster Paul Harvey at a 1978 Future Farmers of America convention. The speech was a derivative of a 1975 article written by Harvey in the Gadsden Times, which was itself similar to a 1940 definition of a dirt farmer published in The Farmer-Stockman. The 1940 article was copied verbatim in a letter to the editor in the Ellensburg Daily Record. The speech was given as an extension of the Genesis creation narrative referring to God's actions on the 8th day of creation. Harvey described the characteristics of a farmer in each phrase, ending them with the recurring "So God Made a Farmer".
The speech was used in a commercial by Dodge Ram during the fourth quarter of Super Bowl XLVII. The ad featured photographs of rural America set to a narration of a portion of Harvey's speech. In a collaboration with the FFA, Dodge agreed to donate $100,000 for every 1,000,000 views that the YouTube video of the ad received up to $1,000,000. This goal was reached in less than five days.
Paul Harvey, a radio host who died in 2009, delivered the speech at an FFA convention in 1978.[1] His speech began as a continuation of the Genesis creation narrative referring to the actions God took on the 8th day. In it, Harvey stated that God needed a caretaker for the land he created. The speech continues with God expressing the characteristics needed by the person he is creating:
"I need somebody with arms strong enough to wrestle a calf and yet gentle enough to deliver his own grandchild; somebody to call hogs, tame cantankerous machinery, come home hungry, have to await lunch until his wife's done feeding visiting ladies, then tell the ladies to be sure and come back real soon, and mean it."[Note 1]
Multiple passages setting out characteristics of the sort end with the same refrain, by which the speech is now known: "So God made a farmer."
Harvey's "So God Made a Farmer" speech was characterized, according to The Atlantic, by its "folksy timbre".[3] The New York Times spoke further on elements of his speaking style in its 2009 obituary: "his style was stop-and-go, with superb pacing and silences that rivaled Jack Benny's. He spoke directly to the listener, with punchy sentences, occasional exclamations of "Good heavens!" or "Oh, my goodness!" and pauses that squeezed out the last drop of suspense: the radio broadcaster's equivalent of the raised eyebrow or the knowing grin."[4] Bob Greene described the opening phrase of the speech as "seemingly simple, and devastatingly direct".[5]
The speech also ran in Paul Harvey's syndicated newspaper column in 1986.[6] In an introduction, Harvey disclaimed authorship:[6]
"This next arrived unsigned in my mailbag. I've tried but cannot trace its source. A farmer, perhaps; more likely a farmer's wife. I've embellished the essay in places and cropped it in others but I hope the sense of it remains intact."—Paul Harvey, 1986[6]
Paul Harvey ran a similar article in the column "A Point of View" for the Gadsden Times on August 26, 1975.[7] Entitled "What it is to be a farmer", the article did not contain the concept of God creating the farmer seen in his 1978 speech, but he still described the characteristics of a farmer.[7] Many of the same phrases made their way into his 1978 speech. The 1975 column was largely similar to a definition of a dirt farmer given by Boston B. Blackwood from Hartshorne, Oklahoma in a 1940 copy of The Farmer-Stockman.[8] This was copied verbatim in a September 10, 1949 letter to the editor of the Ellensburg Daily Record written by Tex Smith from Ellensburg, Washington.[9] Both the 1940 and 1975 columns share elements not included in the speech such as the statement that a farmer's wife won't let him starve.[7][8] In some cases, all three share similar phrases such as "can shape an axe handle from a persimmon sprout".[2][7][8]
The speech was used in a two-minute Ram full-size pickup Super Bowl commercial entitled "Farmer" in Super Bowl XLVII.[10] The ad featured a voiceover of Harvey's speech set to still photographs taken by ten photographers including William Albert Allard[11] and Kurt Markus.[12] Created by The Richards Group, the ad ran during the fourth quarter.[13] It was noted for its religious imagery.[3] The ad, like another Chrysler Super Bowl XLVII ad featuring Oprah Winfrey, advertised the brand without focusing on the vehicle.[10] This was similar to ads run by Chrysler in Super Bowl XLVI and Super Bowl XLV.[10]
The ad was made in collaboration with the National FFA Organization and the National FFA Foundation, and Dodge Ram agreed to donate up to $1,000,000 to the foundation based on the views received by the YouTube video.[14] The goal, which was based on $100,000 for every 1,000,000 views, was reached in less than 5 days.[15]
The ad received mostly positive reviews. Slate called it the "most striking Super Bowl ad" but also criticized it for being similar in concept to a 2011 YouTube video by Farms.com.[1] While the Slate review was criticizing its originality, Farms.com released a statement reflecting their approval of the ad.[16] While liveblogging the Super Bowl commercials for the Wall Street Journal, Cindy Gallop referred to it as the "Great American Super Bowl Commercial".[17] Dale Buss, of Forbes, wrote "Chrysler managed to insert just enough of its vehicles and brands in each spot so as to make their inclusion seem part of the fabric of the paean, not at all intrusive, thereby lending the kind of authenticity to Ram and Jeep that fuels long-term brand success".[10] The ad ranked third in the USA Today Super Bowl Ad Meter.[18] Critics noted that the ad focused on the family farm despite the industrialization of agriculture in America.[19] A Latino nonprofit organization called Cuéntame uploaded a remake to its Facebook page that featured more Latinos.[20]
Country music singer James Wesley's 2013 single "Thank a Farmer" was inspired by the ad.[21]

It's been a couple of weeks since my last post. Things have been going fairly well. Been doing some workouts (2-3) in each week. Doing my meditation almost daily.
Noticed a change in my inner monologue. It's like I'm seeing things because of trying out glasses after going through life without. I never realized how unaware I was of certain things. Not only do I have a healthier inner dialogue, but I'm just more aware of so many things. Thoughts I never had before are coming in all the time when I least expect.
I'm not sure if I'm explaining it too clearly. For instance, when something happens that causes me to be emotional, I have had a tendency to replay it again and again in my head regardless of if I want to or not. Sometimes I intentionally ruminate about it to try to figure out how to handle it. Sometimes it just won't leave my mind because it's too upsetting no matter how hard I try to focus on other things. Now I'm just freer to live my day, taking each moment as it comes, acting as best as I can within the moment. Now, the course of action just comes to me whether I'm trying to think about it or not.
Or I suddenly will understand some behaviour or a person on an entirely new level. Or I realize how my behaviour might be impacting people in a way I don't intend it to, so i am able to avoid doing the behaviour or explain myself to clarify things. (I work in mental health so it's pretty important)
I'm still not sure I'm explaining things too well but oh well.
I credit this largely to my focus on meditation. I have never sustained it for this long of a time before and this regular and it's just like I'm waking up to a new world. I can't imagine going back to the way I lived before after everything I've been experiencing. I feel physically, emotionally, and mentally healthier than I've ever been. It just keeps getting better and better, it's amazing.
Thank you SparkPeople for your part in things. Thank you to anyone reading this for taking the time to check in with me on my journey. I wish everyone all the best on their own path.
Had an interesting experience today. It was another long crazy day at work because of helping a client out a crisis situation. Spent almost 2 hours on the phone making arrangements after I was technically done. Had to get some groceries and then drive the 45 minutes back home.
Amongst it all, i realized something was different about today. Despite the different things I dealt with at work which I'm used to, but still cause stress because of the nature of my work and the emotionality of the people I am dealing with - despite all that, I realized I wasn't stressed out as I would normally be, particularly after working overtime. I was very calm.
Once upon a time, in this kind of a day, I would typically get so stressed it was hard to sleep. Before today, I was stressed but would calm down if I got a chance to talk to someone, especially my boyfriend, and then would spend the night focusing on distracting myself from the stress but sleep sometimes wasn't easy.
Today, there wasn't any of that. I'm still concerned about my client's situation, but it hasn't affected my emotional state, my core, whatever you want to call it. I'm going to chalk it up to my regular meditation and focus on balanced living and thinking. Maybe that's not the case but I know it at least contributes greatly to it. I tend to be an emotional person so it's a weird idea to get used to - me being this serene amidst all I faced today (and know I will face the rest of the work week). It's definitely sparked more motivation on my part to continue my healthy living actions :) You hear about the benefits of doing these things but until you really experience it, it's hard to really grasp the full magnitude of what it means.
Even before the crazy things that happened today I noticed yesterday and early today that I was motivated to exercise and eat healthy as well. My past habit was to eat sugary foods when I had a stressful day. Today I knew it wouldn't help me though and I chose a way to meet both needs - making scrambled eggs and had whole wheat toast with honey for something healthy but sweet. I was proud of myself for doing the right choice. More amazingly though it just was so easy this time.
Here's to a continuing path of healthy living for us all!!!!
I know I'm going to be more motivated to push on even in my down times having had a day like today to think back to is reason enough for me to keep going.
Long time no post! This one's probably going to be a longer one. This past week was just go go go. I ended up going out literally every day except Thursday when I just crashed (after doing a workout). Monday and Friday started and ended the week with a hospital visit. On Monday, taking bf to hospital to check things out and on Friday, a client was in the hospital and I spent 5 hours making arrangements for her and visiting her.
Didn't end up doing much workouts this week but I didn't intend to with the business. Happy I got one in on Thursday and plan to be more regular this coming week.
Had a couple of honest discussions with the bf recently about some not so good feelings I've been having about our relationship. I've been trying to hold the most serious ones in because his work life has been tumultuous and I've been trying really hard to not add needless stress to it. I do feel a lot better having been able to get it out though. He admitted he had been dropping the ball on a few things and said he was still happy in our relationship and intended to work on things. I'm more optimistic about things and feel like a weight has been lifted. I realize things aren't going to get better without effort on both our parts, but I'm willing to do what I can and am happy to hear from him that he's in too.
Still been doing a meditation too, although like the working out, it took a bit of a backseat, but i did maintain some. Reading up about Buddhism as well, which is inspiring me further and feeding that part of me.
I also tried something yesterday. Don't want to say what yet in case it doesn't work out - I'm pretty sure it will, but call me superstitious or whatever, I want to hear back first :) It's something I've been wanting to do for a while and just haven't bothered to. Scary! Even if it doesn't work out, i am very happy with me trying it and with my effort and I know that's what matters
Was also offered and accepted some extra work (meaning extra money) at my job. Don't think it will be too many extra hours, but it means expanding my skills and some extra money which is always useful.
I've heard so much about the whole karma or whatever you want to call it, fate, "what you give is what you get", that kind of philosophy. When I was down, the hits just kept on coming. And I've been doing so well for so long and it feels like the good things now keep coming. It's such a weird experience. Sometimes I even feel a bit bad because I know other people who aren't having the same luck. I used to feel like everything was kind of random but now I'm not so sure.
So... I try to keep my writings in my journal and in my blog (what little blog I have to date) positive. But I also know part of the purpose in the type of writing that goes into a journal or blog is to get out your feelings, so right now I'm going to open up a bit about some not so positive stuff.
Right now me and my boyfriend are in a fight. He is locked up in one room of our 2 bedroom apartment. I hate when we fight, especially at night. I can't sleep, which means I go to work tired which makes my work (listening to people's struggles and helping them through) just a bit harder. It was an innocent little thing that got twisted around (isn't that how a lot of fights go? miscommunication or misinterpretation). I've noticed it happens a lot on his end though, where he gets angry because he thinks I'm thinking something. And I never am and I keep telling him this again and again and it just does not seem to sink in. I am quite honest with how I feel and how I think, I don't do the whole "you should know why I am upset" thing. It's just frustrating. I mean I know we'll work things out and things will be okay like always, just hate feeling like there's nothing else going on for me but there's nothing I can do until he clears his head.
But something else that's just making me bleh is just thinking that I have no one really to talk to. I don't have that many friends in my life, depending on your definition of friends. The ones I have are all busy with life (job, kids...) and we don't talk or see each other much. I'm also pretty shy and reluctant to "impose" so I have difficulty just messaging or asking to do stuff (I do do it, just can get easily discouraged). The only people who I end up seeing or talking to frequently tend to do the initiating, and the ones of those nature that I have gotten involved with also tend to be the more intense so it gets to the point where I see them so much or they get so attached I have to back off because it's past a point I am comfortable. Initiating and doing more social things is one of the areas I have set about wanting to work on in 2013. I know it's an issue and until recently, haven't really wanted to work on it because I've had other things going on I put as more important. But it's times like now I really wish I could just text someone about the crap I was doing with and hang out or just talk for an hour or so and have a friendly face to be around.
Anywho as I said, I try to be more positive on these things and I know I'll be okay so I'm not worried. Just something I wanted to get off my chest. Even feeling how I feel right now, I know I am overall in a very good place - in fact the healthiest place I have been my entire life. I am working to increase that upward trend and am optimistic about my path.
This week I did a couple of sessions of exercise. While it may not seem like a lot, it's my first week of being back into things since I relaxed during December, which then had to extend into January, as a preventive measure for my physical health. As I said earlier, in December I was really busy and when I get busy and do too much I easily get sick. Then in early January I think I got the beginning stage of whatever flu thing is going around and crippling everyone around here.
But this week I wanted to get back in the swing of things! I didn't want to push myself too hard too fast, so I only did the one weight training and the one cardio. Got on the stationary bike and my body did not want to do the second 20 minute session at the same intensity and a part of me thought about giving into that. But I focused on my book instead and pushed through it!!
My increased involvement in Sparkpeople (through blogs amongst other things) this time around I believe is really helping me stay positive and motivated. So thank you to anyone who comments on my page, reads my blogs without comments, or just anyone else who is out there in the Sparkverse. The power of the Spark is strong

Joe Christensen covered Major League Baseball for 15 years, including three seasons at the Baltimore Sun and eight at the Star Tribune, before switching to the college football beat. He's a Faribault, Minn., native who graduated from the University of Minnesota in 1996. He covered Jim Wacker's Gophers for the Minnesota Daily and also wrote about USC, UCLA and the Rose Bowl for the Riverside Press-Enterprise before getting this chance to cover football again.
Email Joe to talk about the Gophers.
Gophers coach Jerry Kill said Tuesday that he's not sure when he'll return to the sideline during games, but he made it clear he's had an active role behind the scenes at practices, in meetings and dealing with recruiting.
Kill, who began a leave of absence to treat his epilepsy on Oct. 10, said he'll be coaching from the press box next Saturday at Indiana, as he has for the previous two games.
"I kind of enjoyed it up there," he said. "... We're going to take it week by week. I can tell you this: We aren't going to screw it up right now, and I will be in the box at Indiana. And I've got enough trust in what we're doing.
"Will I do that my whole career and that stuff? I'm not worrying about it. I'm taking it one day at a time. ... There's a lot of ways to do things. I'm not going to make those decisions right now, but I am a little superstitious, and we're not going to change a whole lot."
Tracy Claeys will remain acting head coach. As for a health update, Kill said he expects to be driving again by February, an indication he intends to be seizure free by then.
"I'm going to be driving that truck, too," he said. "As a matter of fact, I think I'm going to order the thing this week. And I ain't lying. ... I'm just talking from the heart. But I guess that sums it up. I'm going to beat the odds. I'll be driving. You remember that, all right?"

By TSC Shopper
from Montreal
I wanted to update my previous review, I've been using the cream for a while now but it doesn't really do too much in terms of improving the look of hands. Two stars for being natural based but if you are looking for a cream that will actually heal dry hands and improve the look of them, try EG or another TSC brand. Additionally, this cream doesn't last so long between washings, again I've had better results with other TSC brands. This cream is an expensive and very temporary hand moisturizer that's it.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

A Must Have (for me)
By virgo
from Alberta, Canada
I recently bought the small size from Sephora to try for the frist time and fell in love immediately, so I picked up this great value set. I work with paper daily and wash my hands quite a bit and have found this hand cream is works really well. I have had a few co-workers try some and they loved it and commented that they like the scent (we work in a scent free building but really how many hand creams out there are scent free, we just try and get as close to scent free as possible) was very nice and not strong. They were impressed as well how it stayed on even after washing their hands a few times. I now keep one in my purse at all times and one beside my nightstand to put on before bed. My only regret is that I didn't try this sooner.
Hand Cream
By Hanna S.
from Wasaga Beach, ON
Great hand cream. My granddaughter suffers from extremely dry hands in the winter, and this cream worked right from the start. She was VERY impressed - she's 11.
Good hand cream
This is a good hand cream, no silicones and such so there is no glassy feel to hands after use. It absorbs readily and almost no scent. A good utilitarian cream but there's something missing, don't know what. It's a good moisturizing cream but lacks treatment maybe? Will continue to use with other treatment creams. Kind of pricey but you really do only need a pea size amount so can see the large size lasting at least two months which economizes the price.

L'Occitane Hand Cream
By Melly
from Stratford
This hand cream has been very beneficial for me in keeping my cuticles as well as my hands moist and soft. The ingredients of shea butter,coconut oil,honey etc. are healing as well as moisturizing. In our present cold weather those qualities are really appreciated as they would be to anyone who has very dry skin any season of the year.This particular hand cream scent is a very gentle floral, which leaves after a short time of use.WELL WORTH A TRY!

...not fot the price
By Me
from MISSISSAUGA
I washoping that this cream would help my dry winter hands. Taking care of the dry patches I get on my the webs of my hands every winter. I haven't seen an improvement over any other hand creams in the weeks I have been using it. Based on the price I wouldn't buy it again.
L'Occitane...Hand Cream is the Bomb!!!!!
By A True Fan
from Sarnia ,Ontario
My hands are extremely dry from hairdressing over the years. Badly scared and wrinkled. The Shea hand cream is so nuturing, hydrating and smoothing. I think it has even started to heal my hands. I have been using it for about 3 weeks now. MY DAUGHTER IN LAW loved it so much that I ordered her the duo as well. SHE SUFFERS FROM EXZEMA AND IT REALLY HELPS HER. SHE LOVES IT AS WELL. This cream is not greasy at all and penetrates immediately.THank you L'Occitane and The Shopping Channel! Keep bringing us these Fantastic products!

Okay hand cream, nice scent
By Lynnie
from Niagara (Ontario)
This hand cream is very rich and does soak in very quickly however I was hoping it would take care of the dry patches I get on my the webs of my hands every winter. I haven't seen an improvement over any other hand creams in the 3 weeks I have been using it. Based on the price I wouldn't buy it again.

When someone in your life has borderline personality disorder, things can get out of sorts very quickly. Apparently, it's the same thing if you write a blog about borderline personality disorder.
In my second post in this blog, I was going to give you an overview of the disorder. But someone posted this comment to my very first post:
...I am so unhappy in this relationship...[but] ...he kept threatening to kill himself if I leave. I want to break up and tell him to go get help. If he gets better, I will reconsider the relationship. Is this just prolonging things again? Should I just break it off and tell him I hope he gets help?
So...let's talk about suicide threats sooner instead of later.

The letter you posted on Instagram, about why you are leaving the show Community made me want to reach out to you. You're afraid. I hear that. Lots of us are afraid these days. It's scary times. Government shutdowns, wars, healthcare, economic struggles, porn that warps your brain (not really) and Oreos that are addictive. It's especially terrifying when there's lots of pressure riding your shoulders. It's okay to be afraid, sometimes if you're not worried, you're not paying attention.
The things you fear, that success is fleeting, that things might not go exactly right in your life and love, that you might fail, these are all scary things. And they are things that many of us fear.

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.

Gossip Girl Spinoff Announced For Real!by Steve Marsi at . Comments
The juiciest story right now is what happened way back when.
Putting the longstanding (and not-happening) rumors to rest, the CW has ordered a pilot for a Los Angeles-set Gossip Girl spinoff, E! News confirmed Wednesday.
The new venture from Gossip Girl creators Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage is not, however, going to be a by-the-book look at Taylor Momsen's rebellious character, Jenny Humphrey, as was speculated for several months.
Instead, they have opted for an original story about Lily van der Woodsen and surely scandalous teen years growing up in the 1980s.
Gossip Girl's May 11 episode will reportedly serve as what is referred to as a "backdoor pilot" for the spin-off, introducing the younger Lily via flashbacks.
A new hot-young-thang will play Lily (maiden name Rhodes), who moves in with her black-sheep sister after a falling-out with her folks, going from a ritzy Montecito, Calif., boarding school to a public school in the San Fernando Valley.Per the CW's release, "Caught between two worlds, Lily dives into the fast-paced Sunset Strip and the Hollywood lifestyle of the 1980s, journeying over the hill to a world of wealth and excess that used to be her own."
Eventually she'll meet a young Rufus Humphrey, who will at some point impregnate her.
"We didn't want to upset the chemistry of our cast — all of whom are crucial to the show," Savage said of creating a show that won't require the presence of the main Gossip Girl cast. "Nor did we want to dilute New York City as a character."
"We are inspired by the opportunity to tell overlapping stories and introduce characters that will appear in the past and the present, and hopefully enrich both shows," added Schwartz.
"We love exploring fashion, pop culture, music and a heightened world that's just a little more fun than the one we actually live in. L.A. in the '80s totally fits the bill."

ggrecaps is right. Just remember....we where once you and YOU will be us...believe it or not..although I am not as old as Rufus and Lilly I think it is a great concept...and some of you are right, it might be for some of us "older" people. Think of it this way for some of you more selfish GG fans...They may dump the Rufus/Lilly storyline on GG in lieu of having the new show!
To VictoriaLovesCHair, I think both shows will be showing because Gossip Girl has been renewed for a third season... I'm actually anxious to see "Valley Girls". Lily seems so dry at times, so it will be different to see her wild side. GG Rocks... and so will VG! I know it.
Oh, this is like a joke. I mean it will do nothing but decrease the ratings and all. Bad for Gossip Girl's reputation. GG's fans are incredible but hey, no need to spoil it to get more money out of that.
I think they should do a spinoff and have it exactly like the books. The show is nothing like them. They got everything wrong and doing a Lilly/Rufus spinoff is even stupider. New York is a huge part of Gossip Girl and now not only will it be almost 30 years ago, but it wont even be New York anymore. This show isn't going to suceed.
i don't know about u guys, but im a little disapointed. i like lily, but i was really hoping the spinoff would be about georgina. Who needs another show about a beatiful, sweet rich girl in California? The CW needs something more edgy than that, and georgina's edgy, she practically sociopathic.
Rufus and Lily are so sweet. It will be good to see what happened.
Yeah instead they should make a spin off about Chuck and Blair when they are twenty or something... NOW I WOULD WATCH THAT! Lol But seriously this show might be an utter complete failure.
BOOOOOOORRRRRRIGG!! Lily & Rufus = SNOOZE!!!!! And now they're making a show for them!!!??
They could have picked any two people on the show and done
they're spin-off, but they chose THOSE two!!! W.T.F?? SOOOO NOT A GOOD IDEA.
i think the spinoff will be interesting..........
I was wondering how the 'younger crowd' who watch this show religiously would take this...and I'm not surprised. As an older woman with 2 kids of my own, it's not even Lily and Rufus that keeps ME interested in the show...COME ON! The problem I have is that they want to put the pilot on INSTEAD of GG on May 11th. That is a waste of good Gossiping Time! Either they need to break Lily and Rufus up to keep their drama interesting, or seriously, give them their own show to prove that US, the viewers are right. We'd still love GG without them!

Cybersecurity remains a priority for the U.S. Defense Department, with officials protecting resources for it in the face of overall budget constraints. Guidance from the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2014 directs a mission analysis of cybercapabilities not only in the active military, but also across partners, to help forces maintain their edge in protecting the nation.
The military's evolving environment stands on the strong shoulders of the past to reach for the clouds.
As a group, generals tend to be relentlessly positive. The pre-eminent U.S. soldier of recent years, Gen. Colin Powell, USA (Ret.), likes to remind us that, "Perpetual optimism is a force multiplier." War and military operations are hard enough, but gloom and defeatism only make things harder. In combat, a morale edge sure helps. It is not by accident that Medal of Honor recipient Audie Murphy's outfit, the U.S. Army's famous 15th Infantry Regiment, has as its motto, "Can Do."
As the more skeptical Mr. Murphy (he of the law, not Audie) reminds us, a great deal can and will go wrong in all human endeavors, especially war. But dwelling too much on potential problems surely will paralyze a military leader. Such hesitation spreads like a choking miasma. It stymies subordinate commanders and confuses the rank and file. Half-hearted attacks fail. In contrast, the side that knows its business and hangs in there for one more hard push often carries the day. That last winning surge can come from the will of a general who seizes an opportunity by seeing even a cracked, dirty glass as half-full. Winning in battle is all about positive action.
Sometimes senior commanders must size up the situation in minutes and pull the trigger. Under those conditions, seeing a chance and taking it may work just fine. At other junctures, particularly at the strategic level, there is time to consider conditions more fully. When regarding any strategic glass du jour, it is wise to recognize the real water level and not kid yourself, your peers or your bosses if it is lacking. An optimistic outlook helps a person find opportunities, but sometimes those opportunities just are not there, no matter how much anyone hopes for them. There is a responsibility for even the most positive people in uniform to tell superiors, military and civilian, the limits of "can do."
Technologies including voice over Internet protocol, high-definition video and satellite communications altered the battlefield during years of war in Iraq and Afghanistan, but as combat operations draw to a close, different challenges are emerging. Technical, fiscal and personnel changes all are shifting, forcing decision makers to reevaluate activities.
The military is in a transition period, and U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) is at the heart of the shift. Funding and human resources will be far more limited than in the past decade. Communications experts have put powerful capabilities in place in the command's region, but the retrograde and alterations in operations mean different methods of employing and understanding them are necessary.
Brig. Gen. John Baker, USA, J-6, CENTCOM, has overseen a series of changes in the area of responsibility and in garrison during his tenure, including a tremendous expansion in the use of voice over Internet protocol (VoIP)/everything over Internet protocol. The move has been a significant advantage, he explains. In addition to that massive alteration in infrastructure came the deployment of black core measures throughout the region. Results of the changes included bandwidth savings with improved security for users. Gen. Baker states that putting black core into theater allows people to employ bandwidth better and with more agility.
The benefits are important as CENTCOM communicators have extended their networks significantly, especially in embassies, to help support security cooperation officers. With the exceptions of Syria and Iran, the United States has an embassy in every country in the command's area, all of which now connect through VoIP services.
A critical U.S. Air Force program designed to refurbish the service's operations centers around the world likely will begin by upgrading the first site next year. The potential $504 million effort will automate services, improve interoperability, speed decision making, enhance cybersecurity and lower costs.
Air operations centers are the command and control centers for planning, executing and assessing joint air operations during a contingency or conflict. They support joint force air component commanders in planning and executing missions.
Those centers have been equipped with an operational baseline known as 10.1. With 10.2, the Air Operations Center Weapon System (AOC WS) modernization program is poised to better integrate data from more than 45 systems and applications that feed data into the centers. The upcoming improvements will facilitate machine-to-machine data transfer, allowing commanders to make decisions more quickly while reducing human error.
Lt. Col. Kyle Reybitz, USAF, AOC WS program manager, paints a somewhat hectic picture of contemporary AOCs. Because the various systems are not fully integrated, people call out to request targeting data, or they hand-deliver data. "Our putting together a common infrastructure allows these systems to be better integrated and share the data more securely. Ultimately, that results in speed of command. We get data in there; we can process it much faster; and we can have quicker actual plans on the battlefield as determined by the joint forces air combat commander," Col. Reybitz states.
U.S. Air Force officials are working to replace by 2019 aging command and control terminals that are part of the U.S. Air Force's nuclear bomber mission. The new terminals will communicate with advanced satellite constellations and also will add capabilities not in current systems.
The Global Aircrew Strategic Network Terminal (Global ASNT—pronounced global assent) is a ground-based, three-increment program that provides persistent, survivable and redundant command and control (C2) communications to the U.S. Air Force strategic bomber fleet. The terminals also provide a C2 capability for the tankers and intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance aircraft supporting the nuclear bomber mission. It is a part of the Minimum Essential Emergency Communications Network (MEECN) that passes messages from national command authorities—the president and senior leaders—to nuclear forces.
The program will provide 45 fixed communication terminals for sites such as wing command posts, along with 45 transportable terminals to support dispersed operations. The first increment of the program will provide advanced extremely high frequency (AEHF) communications compatible with the new AEHF satellite constellation and will replace legacy Military Strategic Tactical Relay (MILSTAR)-compatible terminals. The AEHF constellation will be the military's primary satellite system for highly protected communications following the launch of the fourth and final satellite in 2017.
The new AEHF terminals are required because of projected end-of-life issues with the MILSTAR satellite constellation and looming obsolescence of the currently fielded terminals. "It replaces unsustainable legacy systems. Some of the systems it replaces are getting toward the end of their life cycle, and they're difficult to maintain," says Lt. Col. Kenneth Decker, USAF, Global ASNT program manager. "It's like when your car gets to the point where it costs too much to maintain it."
The Defense Department drive toward its Joint Information Environment is picking up speed as it progresses toward its goal of assimilating military networks across the warfighting realm. Individual services are developing solutions, some of which are targeted for their own requirements, that are being applied to the overarching goal of linking the entire defense environment.
Early successes in Europe have advanced Joint Information Environment (JIE) efforts elsewhere, including the continental United States. Some activities have been accelerated as a result of lessons learned, and they have been implemented ahead of schedule in regions not slated to receive them for months or even years.
However, significant hurdles remain, and not all participants are equally supportive of the effort. Overcoming major cultural challenges may be the most difficult task facing JIE implementation. And, the omnipresent budget constraints facing the entire Defense Department may extend into the JIE, even though it is not officially a program of record.
Senior Defense Department leaders do not hesitate to emphasize the importance of the JIE to future military operations. David DeVries, deputy Defense Department chief information officer (CIO) for information enterprise, describes the JIE as a unifying effort to do "the largest wholesale information technology modernization in the history of the department."
Lt. Gen. Ronnie D. Hawkins Jr., USAF, director, Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA), avows, "The next type of enterprise that our Defense Department will be postured to utilize in the next conflict—be it kinetic or nonkinetic—the JIE will be an integral part of that environment."
A tactical technology support organization that has been serving the U.S. Marines for decades is beginning to find a role in the cyber domain. The group offers a broad range of services, including test and evaluation, engineering and network integration. It also supports users across the Defense Department, U.S. government and allies.
To address a changing mission amid broader challenges, the U.S. Marines are implementing the service's future warfighting strategy this year through training, war gaming and experimentation. The strategy calls for forces to be dispersed over wide areas and will require technologies that enhance warfighters' effectiveness over greater distances.
Warfighters on foot equipped with night vision systems now can give their commanders a real-time glimpse of what they're seeing in the field. A new system that combines a portable radio with night vision goggles allows the optical imagery to be captured and sent across the same radio channels used for voice and data communications.
Each piece of hardware—the portable radio and the night vision system—is in service with the armed forces of several countries around the world. Engineers basically combined the two functions to produce a single system that allows commanders to remotely view a night scene from the warfighter's eye view accompanied with geolocation information.
Known as the Individual Soldier System (ISS) and manufactured by Exelis Incorporated, the new system combines a software suite with existing hardware. These three major subsystems generate a two-way imaging capability that also allows the warfighter to view imagery relayed by headquarters.
The i-Aware Tactical Mobility Night Vision Goggle (TM-NVG) optical system features an overlay display that enables mobility information to be viewed by its wearer. It weighs less than 2.2 pounds (1 kilogram) and can run on one lithium AA battery. An intensified camera inside the goggle set allows command and control personnel to view live imagery from the field.
The company's SpearNet team member radio serves as the transmission device for the TM-NVG. The 1.5-pound radio operates in the 1.2-1.4 gigahertz band, and it can network with satellite communications and long-range radio systems. Information from the TM-NVG system can be sent across the SpearNet self-healing mesh network, which in turn can display visual tactical information such as maps and unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) video.

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.
"Very much the same as my review of the invitation cards: high-quality printing and paper (especially the "white shimmer" paper option), gorgeous and expensive-looking foil stamping, and a vintage-luxury feel overall. Will definitely impress your wedding invitees! The WPD staff were incredibly helpful in assisting with our font/word choice/layout selections, and we received our order 5 days early. So pleased with the finished product and would definitely recommend!!"
"These are ADORABLE in person!! I asked for a change when I reviewed them and it was immediately handled. They could not be more perfect for my wedding. Can't wait to start seeing these babies come back in!"
"The designers not only made the adjustments I requested, but they made them BETTER! Good quality, very pretty. Had the pearly finish on the whole suite. Very nice!"
"This card is the perfect size! Easy to write on and read for all guests and for a very reasonable price. The paper is thick and the finish (I chose the pearl finish) is stunning. I have already recommended this product to an engaged friend."
"We used this card to match with the invitation and it's the perfect match! We also went with the gold envelop for the RSVP's, it really adds some nice drama to the invitation."

Vincent Lecavalier and Luke Schenn had it out yesterday

It's always intriguing when skill players drop the mitts, mostly because you know it's not some staged affair, but also because they usually have no idea what they're doing and things can end up
going hilariously
. At 32, Lecavalier's established himself as a skill guy who's not afraid to stand up for himself (he has 22 NHL tilts), so when the 23 year old Schenn came at him, he didn't hesitate to get dirty. We'll give the decision to Schenn.
