Black Rock Shooter: The Game Review
Developer: Image Epoch
Publisher: NIS America
Genre: Shooter RPG
Platform: PSP
Ever since video games began relying on licensed products to move units, there have been very few based upon movies and TV shows that can be regarded as quality products beyond the core fanbase it was originally intended for. Heck, some of them are garbage even to that specific demographic. But once in awhile, we'll get a game like Goldeneye that rises above the stigma placed upon licensed games.
Anime is not exempt from this. For every excellent title I've had the pleasure of playing (Dragon Ball Z Budokai Tenkaichi 3), there's always a stinker out there that counters it (Naruto Shippuden: Dragon Blade Chronicles). This makes getting excited for obscure titles such as Black Rock Shooter: The Game such a challenge. Will I have to have seen the anime to enjoy it? Is the game so broken that it won't matter? Having experienced the short campaign, I can confidently say that it is a fantastic game.
Black Rock Shooter takes place in the future following an alien invasion that has managed to wipe out nearly the entire population save for about a dozen. Even worse: they're all males. Despite that, they opt not to give up, instead staying strong in their convictions to not go down without a fight and give the aliens hell until their dying breath. Fortunately, they're not alone in the fight as they release a large container keeping a young girl within. It's unclear what she is, other than someone that can decimate large swaths of the enemy's military within seconds and humanity's last hope for turning the tide of war.
Not having seen the anime (yet), I can't comment on how faithfully Black Rock Shooter: The Game recreates the story and setting that it's basing itself upon. It does, however, successfully present a very somber and grim atmosphere and gradually showcases BRS's understanding of her past and what it means to be human. It can be downright depressing at times, but once the hooks are in, it's difficult to give up the chase to the end before you see it through.
Black Rock Shooter is something of a mix between an RPG and (you guessed it) a shooter. The game is divided into six stages, with various missions tied to each one. Each mission will dump you into a different part of that stage's map, and during exploration you'll encounter foes that will give chase as you pass by them. Contact will result in a battle that fixates the camera behind BRS's shoulder. She remains stationary during the fight, but you can move a cursor around in order to aim and shoot at your assailants. Should they fire back, you can either block the attack for minimal damage, or dodge it entirely. Shooting and dodging will both build up a meter that, when capped, will cause BRS to overheat and leave her vulnerable for a bit. Defeating enemies and building up experience will net her levels that will unlock new skills to bring into combat with her, and enemies will sometimes drop items that will allow her to heal.
Each stage also has a set of challenges that can be performed, such as killing so many of a certain type of enemy or reaching your goal without damage. Success will bring rewards in the form of stat bonuses, skills, and passive talents that you can have enabled all of the time. Some challenges aren't available until after you complete the stage and then revisit it, which gives the game some replayability.
In scenes somewhat reminiscent of Final Fantasy VII, there will be missions that require BRS to traverse the map via a motorcycle. The object is to avoid any would be attackers, though dodging at the last second with allow her to slash them with her sword up close. Do this enough times, and you can fire your guns for a few seconds to clear any obstacles up ahead. As difficult as these segments can be at times, I enjoyed them immensely and wished I had seen more of them.
Visually, Black Rock Shooter seems consistent with the anime style that they were going for, with character models and animations that seemed right at home on the PSP (though the game can also be played on the Vita). The various cutscenes are all done within the game's engine as well, and they all look great. Also, the soundtrack manages to match the intensity of the battles that you encounter along the way. There is no English dub in this release, which is understandable given its late debut in the west. Fortunately, nearly all the dialogue is subtitled save for a few battle quotes, so you always know what's going on.
Now for the bad news: the lack of enemy variety starts to become apparent once you reach the later chapters. Granted, the game is not long enough to grow tired of the combat before its credits roll, though a great deal of late game foes are just palette swapped versions of earlier ones. There also seem to be moments during battles where there doesn't seem to be any options as far as avoiding the kinds of attacks that are incredibly decimating to BRS. One on one doesn't seem to be as big of an obstacle since you eventually learn the timing with enough trial and error, but if you're up against a group of particularly tough foes, good luck to you. There are times when no matter where you dodge you have a devastating attack waiting for you when you get there and the block doesn't always mitigate the damage all that well.
Another downside is that Black Rock Shooter doesn't lend itself well to portable play. Rather than any sort of auto-save system or even a system where you can save manually anywhere, you are limited to save points. From a difficulty standpoint, this isn't a big deal, though it is kind of a nuisance to have to load your last save and then skip cutscenes in order to take another crack at a boss (takes more time than you might think). But if you plan to take the game on the road, I couldn't find any easy way to suspend your progress and turn the system off. If you play your PSP or Vita tethered to a wall outlet or USB anyway, then you have nothing to worry about.
Despite that, Black Rock Shooter: The Game manages to be well worth the $20 asking price. The main campaign is short, but offers replay value in the form of unlockables and extra challenges to pursue. The combat is some of the most unique I've seen in a game, and would like to see it revisited in a future title. And if you like your storylines dreary, you should feel right at home here. Now excuse me while I go track down the anime series.

The Didactic Program in Dietetics (DPD)
The Didactic Program in Dietetics (DPD) enables students to complete the academic requirements needed to qualify for a dietetic internship or supervised practice needed to qualify to take the examination to become a Registered Dietitian (R.D.). The DPD may be completed as part of the baccalaureate degree program in Nutritional Science or may be completed by students in the Nutritional Science graduate program. Students who already hold a baccalaureate degree must be admitted into the graduate program in order to complete the DPD.
The DPD is currently granted accreditation status by the Accreditation Council for Education in Nutrition and Dietetics Education (ACEND) of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, 120 South Riverside Plaza, Suite 2000, Chicago, IL. 60606, (312) 899-0040, ext. 5400.
Didactic Program in Dietetics (DPD) Mission
The mission of the DPD at California State University, Los Angeles is to prepare students to be competent for acceptance into a dietetic internship program accredited by the Accreditation Council for Education in Nutrition and Dietetics. The DPD also prepares students for entry-level careers related to food and nutrition or graduate level education.
Program Goal 1: Prepare students to be competent for entry into a dietetic internship program and/or a post-baccalaureate program.
Program Objectives for Goal 1:
- Over a five year period, at least 80% of the DPD graduates will pass the Registered Dietitian (RD) registration exam the first time taking the exam or within the first year after taking the first exam.
- Over a five year period, at least 75% of students enrolled in the professional courses in the third year of an undergraduate-level DPD or first year of a graduate-level DPD will complete the program/degree requirements within three years, or 150% of the time planned for completion.
- Within twelve months of program completion, 50% of DPD graduates will apply to dietetic internship programs and 50% of those who apply will be accepted into a dietetic internship program.
- Within twelve months of program completion, 25% of DPD graduates will apply to post-baccalaureate programs and 50% of those who apply will get accepted into the program.
- Over a five year period, at least 75% of the dietetic internship directors of the DPD graduates will rank the graduate as being "prepared" or "very prepared" in all aspects of nutrition knowledge.
Program Goal 2: Prepare students to be competent for entry into nutrition-related careers and to be capable of working in culturally diverse community setting.
Program Objectives for Goal 2:
- Over a five year period, at least 75% of DPD graduates who apply to dietetic internship programs, but were not accepted will obtain employment in nutrition or a related field.
- Over a five year period, at least 75% of the employers of DPD graduates will rank the graduate as being "prepared" or "very prepared" in all aspects of nutrition knowledge.
- At least 90% of DPD graduates will be able to work effectively in a culturally diverse setting.

Requirements for Becoming a Registered Dietitian
After students have successfully completed the course work in a Didactic Program in Dietetics (DPD) and a post-baccalaureate supervised practice program (dietetic internship program), they are eligible to take the registration exam to become a Registered Dietitian. Upon passing this registration exam, the students will earn their Registered Dietitian (RD) credential.
Upon successfully completing either the undergraduate or graduate degree program and the DPD, students will receive a verification of completion statement, which will allow the students to be eligible to apply for a dietetic internship program. The dietetic internship program composed of a minimum of 1,200 hours of supervised practice will provide students with practical training in various aspects of dietetic practice.
Registration Eligibility Requirements for Dietetic Technician (DTR) - Pathway III
As of June 1, 2009, students who have completed both an undergraduate degree and a Didactic Program in Dietetics (DPD) are eligible to take the registration exam for dietetic technicians without meeting additional academic or supervised practice requirements.
Students who would like to take the DTR exam must complete an application available on the Commission on Dietetic Registration (CDR) website; submit the application, the DTRE Mis-use form and an official transcript with the posting of the undergraduate degree to the DPD Program Director, School of Kinesiology and Nutritional Science, CSLA. The DPD Director will make the submission to the Commission on Dietetic Registration. For more information about taking the DTR exam, please visit the CDR website.
Transcript Evaluation
Transcript evaluations may be conducted if students have completed almost all of the DPD course requirements from another university. There is a $50 non-refundable fee for the transcript evaluation. Students who are interested in getting their transcripts evaluated should contact the DPD Director.
Students who earned their degree(s) from foreign universities must first have their transcripts evaluated by an independent foreign degree evaluation agency. The type of evaluation should be a course-by-course evaluation. The agency will provide an equivalency report that will detail the equivalent degree and coursework to an accredited university in the United States or its territories.

The standard Paragon trek lasts several days, and hikers sleep each night in the 10th Mountain Division huts within the 300-square-mile region between Vail, Aspen, and Leadville. Paragon will also take climbers on ascents of many of Colorado's fourteeners (the state's 54 peaks higher than 14,000 feet). "But those have become crowded," says Shefchik. "I like to take people up the thirteeners, because nobody's there."
I had just one afternoon and not enough stamina for a thirteener, so we loaded up the animals with a blanket, picnic, and extra jackets for a mere 3,000-foot hike up Uneva Peak. Don prepped our furry porters: "It's going to be a buffet for you."
As grazers, llamas eat at every stop. They loved me; I needed quite a few breathers. They respectfully avoided most of the wildflowers-- corn lilies, delphiniums, and yarrow-- to find edible thistles, fir needles, and grass. I led Dante with a slack rope, turning often to see if he was still there. Llamas are nearly silent on the trail, though they're known to hum gently when they're having a good time.
From Uneva Peak we had a spectacular 360-degree view of the Gore and Sawatch mountain ranges, Collegiate Peaks, and the Holy Cross Wilderness Area. In the thin air, I felt like a willowy balloon. We paused on top over a lunch of smoked trout and cheese, apples and chocolate, while the llamas munched and rested and hummed. Decidedly rejuvenated, the four of us descended in double time, and I wished I'd packed a sleeping bag and signed on for the next three days.
Paragon Guides Box 130, Vail, CO 81658; 970/926-5299, fax 970/926-5298; day treks from $350 for two, including lunch.
Beaver Creek Vilar Center for the Arts 68 Avondale Lane, Beaver Creek; 970/845-8497. Shows at this new 530-seat theater range from the Moscow Chamber Orchestra to the Afro-Cuban jazz of Pancho Sanchez & Latin Big Band.
May Gallery 68 Avondale Lane, Beaver Creek; 970/949-4997. In its first summer season, this loftlike space largely showcases private collections of photography, Western painting, and contemporary art.
Bravo! Colorado Vail Valley Music Festival Gerald R. Ford Amphitheater, Vail; 970/827-5700. Chamber and orchestral music, jazz, and pop concerts. A space on the lawn costs $10, or you can fork over $26 to $35 if you want to sit closer to Mr. and Mrs. Former President.
Vail International Dance Festival Various locations; 970/949-1999. Summer host of the Russian Bolshoi Ballet Academy and the New York City Ensemble.
Jammin' Jazz Nights Lionshead Lawn, Vail; 970/476-1000. Free outdoor performances by musicians such as Ellyn Rucker, Kenneth Walker, and the Clayton Brothers, on Thursdays in August.
Hard-core cyclists say it's cheating to take a chairlift to the top of Vail Mountain and bike down. But if you've just breezed in from someplace smoggy and closer to sea level, consider conquering the first 1,000 feet by lift. A hundred miles of trails and roads, from single-track to Hummer-width, amount to double the biking terrain Vail had five years ago when the town first hosted World Cup mountain bike races.
Countless trail options offer challenging inclines and welcome stretches on which to catch one's breath and take in the view.
The most accessible trails start in Lionshead. Hop onto the Eagle Bahn Gondola ($20 with bike) and catch a ride to Eagle's Nest. From there, pedal Kloser's Klimb up to Patrol Headquarters, then over to the Back Bowls on Grand Traverse. Then Ptarmigan Loop takes you back around to Eagle's Nest. Head home via Lion Down to Bad Simba or the Village Loop. Maps are available at the gondola ticket window.
Starting from Beaver Creek, one option is to take the Centennial Express Lift ($18 with bike) to Spruce Saddle and pedal to the top of the Beaver Creek PHQ (Patrol Headquarters) Hillclimb. From here, there's nowhere to go but down.

Hi, I live in east TN and am looking for unground rice hulls to use as a component of a potting soil mix. Does anyone have any idea where I can buy some? The only company I've seen in in Arkansas.
thanks! Susan |
Follow-Up Postings:
You'll have a problem in that it's a long way to where rice is grown. Arkansas are the closest growing fields to TN, (and they are probably totally under water this week.) Finding someone that will bag and ship them is going to really add the cost. Could you substitute a more local product? (I would suggest corn gluten meal, something readily available locally, but it's a germination supressant in that it accelerates growth excessively according to an old website from Iowa.) Wheat straw.... is available. And there are lots of food additives from the Farmers' Co-op. (Soy bean meal, cottonseed meal....) |

Susan, you might consider buying some BioComp from Sonnegro instead. It's made with composted bark and peanut hulls. |
- Posted by honeybunny442 z6 TN (My Page) on Tue, Apr 8, 08 at 23:43
Thanks, that sounds good. In the past I got 50 pound bags of the hulls in Milwaukee, WI, so I know places have them and may not advertise the fact. I'll try the Sonnegro, thanks! |

Joe Arpaio, the self-proclaimed toughest sheriff in America, could be in for the roughest fight of his political career if a recent survey of Valley leaders is any indication.
A survey conducted by local polling firm O'Neil Associates shows Arpaio with a 35 percent approval rating among Valley business and community leaders.
The Web-based survey, which was sent to members of Greater Phoenix Leadership, Valley Leadership, East Valley Partnership and Westmarc, is the lowest approval rating Arpaio has received among any group since taking office 10 years ago, said Michael O'Neil, president of O'Neil Associates of Tempe.
"It's extraordinary," said O'Neil, whose company has measured public opinion in the Valley for more than 20 years. "I've never seen his numbers so low."
The sheriff, who criticized how the poll was conducted, claimed that survey did not accurately measure public opinion.
"It's garbage," Arpaio said. "This poll does not reflect the general population."
Since the 400 people surveyed had never been asked to evaluate Arpaio's performance, O'Neil said it is impossible to tell if the sheriff's popularity with the group had dropped.
"All we know is that he is not popular among these people right now," O'Neil said, adding that Arpaio may never have been well liked by business and community leaders.
In the past, the sheriff has always received high approval ratings among the general public. A poll conducted by O'Neil Associates in 1997 showed Arpaio had an 85 percent approval rating.
The most recent survey of the general public taken by the polling firm showed the sheriff with a 69 percent approval rating in September 2001.
Arpaio said recent polls conducted by other companies, including other media, show him with a 70 percent to 80 percent approval rating.
"Everywhere I go people still come up to me and say 'Give em hell sheriff,' " Arpaio said.
Political rivals said the poll dispels the myth that the sheriff is unbeatable and indicates voters are tired of the Arpaio administration.
"He's in for a battle," said W. Steven Martin, the former disc-jockey who is running against Arpaio in the September 2004 Republican primary. In previous elections, Martin said the sheriff won by such large numbers because there were no quality opponents running against him.
Mesa police Cmdr. Dan Saban, who is also running for sheriff, said the survey shows what people have been saying for months.
"People throughout the Valley want fresh leadership and want a regime change," said Saban, who has 28 years of law enforcement experience in the Valley.
Lisa Allen, the sheriff's director of public information, said she was concerned with the low numbers, but remained confident that the sheriff would be re-elected to a fourth term.
Allen said the survey was biased because the groups that participateddon't like the sheriff.
"Highly educated people and liberals do not vote for him," she said.
But the survey did show Arpaio retained a visibility rating of 90 percent. He was second only to the Maricopa County Attorney Richard Romley who had a 92 percent recognition rate.
The poll, which was released Sunday, had a margin of error of plus or minus 4 percent.

Lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] is known as an independent risk factor for cardiovascular diseases (CVD). Lp(a) is a unique lipoprotein consisting of the glycoprotein apolipoprotein(a) [apo(a)] covalently linked to apolipoproteinB-100 (apoB) in low-density lipoprotein (LDL) by a single disulfide bond. Although Lp(a) level is hugely variable and under strict genetic control, largely by apo(a) gene with kringle-4 type2 repeats, elevated level of plasma Lp(a) is correlated with CVD. Smaller isoforms with fewer kringle-4 repeats are associated with higher plasma Lp(a) level, leading to an increased risk for CVD. Lipid lowering agents (i.e. statins) have little or no effect on plasma Lp(a) level. Although it was reported that administration of niacin or estrogen may reduce the Lp(a) levels, there are no specific agents for the reduction of plasma Lp(a). In this review, we put together recent evidence and describe the overview of Lp(a) with the future direction.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Wesley!
Facts about Wesley
- Breed: Pointer
- Color: White - With Brown Or Chocolate
- Age: Young
- Size: Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
- Sex: Male
Wesley's Info...
I am already neutered, housetrained, purebred, up to date with shots, and good with dogs.
Meet SAFE (Saving Animals From Euthanasia) Class XIII at WKCC (Western KY Correctional Complex). Seven dogs will train for approximately two months with inmate handlers. In that time, the dogs will be housetrained, crate trained, trained to walk on a loose leash, and able to perform various tricks. They will also be neutered, on flea and tick preventative, on heartworm preventative, microchipped, and up to date on all vaccinations. The cost for adopting a SAFE dog is $150.00. Applications will be taken until May 24, 2013. Applications may be uploaded from SAFE Haven KY website at www.safehavenky.org. Applications then may be either mailed to SAFE Haven, P.O. Box 401, Princeton, KY 42445.
Wesley is an 18 month old German Shorthaired Pointer who, unfortunately for him, didn't want to hunt. We are going to leave it that his owner did not use positive reinforcement to try to train him. That is about as kind as we are prepared to be.
Wesley came to SAFE with his tail between his legs, unable to make eye contact, and generally scared out of his skin. The trainers are gaining his trust, and, slowly, but surely, Wesley is learning that not all humans are unpleasant. If you are looking for a hunting dog, Wesley is not the dog for you. But, if you want a faithful companion to sit at your feet and adore you, please consider this beautiful boy!
Other Pets at SAFE Haven KY
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Wesley, a Princeton Pointer dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Pointer for sale in Princeton, or seeking a Pointer dog from a breeder in Princeton.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Princeton already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Princeton breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Pointer breeders who help with Pointer rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Princeton paves the way for another one to be saved.

College of Law › About the College of Law › News, Events, and Multimedia › News › Alumni Asked to Attend TU College of Law's Pre-Law Day March 27
Friday, February 26, 2010
The University of Tulsa College of Law will host Pre-Law Day for admitted students on Saturday, March 27 at John Rogers Hall, 3120 East 4th Place.
The event presents two opportunities for alumni to meet with potential TU law students. A breakfast reception will be held at 9:45 a.m. in the Pit at John Rogers Hall, and a luncheon will be held at 12:15 p.m. in the Great Hall of the Allen Chapman Activity Center, 440 S. Gary Ave.
The day's programming also gives prospective students the opportunity to take part in a mock class, meet with leaders of student organizations, and get information on programs such as the Board of Advocates, study abroad, and professional development.
"This event is exclusively for students who have already been admitted to The TU College of Law. Some of them have not reached a final decision on which law school to attend, while others are looking to create an initial bond with their new law school," said Heather Rahhal, associate director of law alumni relations. "All of these students will benefit from speaking with professionals who found success during and after their time at The TU College of Law."
Alumni are encouraged to attend one or both of these sessions at no cost. Those available to attend Pre-Law Day are asked to contact Rahhal by March 8 at (918) 631-3320, or email@example.com.

What Will You Do, If Our Existence as the LORD GOD"s Tolerant English Speaking Red, Yellow, Black and White Judeo-Christian Nation, of One People, Out of Many People, Ends? It will end if we do not stop Obama and his thugs. His infestation of 'Anti Anything Godly and Good for the USA' is the 'God Damn America' Party of thugs who hates Our LORD GOD, Our Nation and Our Way of Life.

GOP Why No Green For Tennessee?
If you live where Electric meters run and are operated by computers...I bet your being screwed by TVA. One day my meter will show we used 140 and the next day 1500. No mater what energy consumption item you turn on or off, the meter never knows the difference. Now if I want TVA to check my meter, it will cost me money. If it is their fault that the meter is running wrong it will cost me nothing. I don't trust the SOB's so I will just keep taking daily pictures of the reading on the meter.
I hope Mr. Steele is not part of any race dividing of our Nation.
Republican National Committee Chairman Michael S. Steele was among the speakers who attended the 10th annual State of the Black Union convention.
#)*!?^%# WHAT . . . Black State, Black Union? Where in the hell, have I been. Did the Anti-America Social Liberals add another union and state for Blacks Only?
It looks as if Mr. Wright's God Damn America wish, and the Social Liberal Whites and Blacks, have what they have always planned to have. They have a Perfect Social Liberal Liar as President of the United States of America. The liar is so good he causes his Social Liberal Politicians to look and sound angelic. What is so sad is the GOP keeps bending over, getting on their knees, and kiss ass so they can receive the blessing of God Obama, the Perfect Liar.
Timothy Geithner has the ability to lie, cheat, and steal from America's Tax Payers. He has, or will be, approved by Socialist, Liberals, Democrats, and by some You Are What You Eat and the Company You Keep Republicans to head the Treasury Department. The rich will be allowed to follow in his steps while the American Tax Payer will foot the bills for all the Geithnerizers that will be given a legal right to lie, cheat, and steal from people who work for a living.
As Judge Judy would say. "Don't pee on my leg and tell me it is raining."
I am not sorry that the employees of the Big Three believed everything their unions sold them on. The reality that their income, insurance and retirement security is going down the toilet with the rest of their union crap should be an eye opener to them about the kind of sewage system they invested in. Would anyone know how much income, insurance and retirement security each Union Boss and their helpers received, and was any of it flushed down the toilet?
If the Big Three gets their money then we need a Web Site where we should support buying anything to drive as long as it is not made by one of the Big Three?
Darn, I do love my truck. Ouch, it is a Ford. Don't get excited, my car is a Nissan, and my other truck is a Toyota.
1. In order to get votes should the GOP allow the bashing of Judea-Christian Red, Yellow, Black and White Men and Women Conservative non church going and church going: Bible Readers, Bible Believing, Bible Carrying, Gun Owning, Game Hunter, Beer Drinking, Soda Drinking, High Class, Low Class, Middle Class, Rich, Poor and Always Helping Others, Loving Country, and Giving Thanks to GOD, American Patriots?
2. There are Two Forces at work in the world; Should our GOP leaders have us follow the GOD of Israel, or, the Slick and Cunning Followers and their leader Lucifer?
3. Good vs Evil. Evil people will do good in order to deceive people into believing a lie. Good people always do good but sometimes some of them will believe a lie. Sometimes good people do bad after being deceived and believing a lie. Just remember that good people are never evil they are only deceived.
Our Declaration of Independence, our Judea-Christian America Is Still Travailing. Red, Yellow, Black and White We Are Precious Patriots in His Sight, Jesus Loves the Children of the World.
The Republican Party lost the election because They Allowed people like Governor Charlie Crisp to pick who the presidential candidate would be. They Removed the rights of the voter to go to the polls and vote for who they wanted to support. If the voters had been able to have their vote count in the primary then John McCain (sorry Mr. McCain) would not had been allowed through the front door. The Republican Party had Hillary Clinton already picked, she was the demo They Wanted to run against. They Thought, that the "Most of the Time Liberal, sometime conservative" McCain was the Decorated Grandpa they needed to run against her. They Took away his rocking chair and they pushed him to go forward into the Abyss of Lies...McCain smiled all the way while calling everyone, "My Friend." I don't want a friend in the White House who is going to take names, then kick bottoms. I WANT A PRESIDENT WHO WILL KICK BOTTOMS FIRST THEN TAKE NAMES. And by the way, I would had voted for Colin L. Powell if he had run for president...but I had doubts about him when he said his wife was afraid for him to run. Now I think, I don't know for sure, but I wonder if the black panthers would had murdered him. Powell showed his true color (true color has nothing to do with his skin color) by supporting a man who lies. Powell is a raciest and a traitor and I wouldn't pour water on his behind if it was on fire.
1. The Social Liberal Barak Hussain Obama LIED, and, the Republican Party and McCain never pushed for him to keep his word at how he would raise money. The Social Liberal Barak Hussain Obama's Web Site contributions of who he Secretly Collected Money from is why a "liar, cheater, and thief" will be president. The Republican Party, Governor Charlie Crisp and John McCain are no better than the Democrats because of how the party conducted business, or did not conduct business.
2. The Social Liberal Barak Hussain Obama and The Social Liberal Democrats was given the election on a Gold Platter given to them by the Republican Party, Governor Charlie Crisp and John McCain...In no way did Governor Sarah Palin have anything to do with it.
3. The 2008 SLIME Machine (Social Liberal Influential Media Election) Was a Historic Blessing in Disguise for all Patriot (red, yellow, black and white) Americans; Because of the Republican Party, Governor Charlie Crisp and John McCain and McCain people, all of us Dull, Bible Carrying, Gun Owning, Game Hunter, Beer Drinking, Soda Drinking, High Class, Low Class, Middle Class, Rich, Poor and Always Helping Others, Loving Country, and Giving Thanks to GOD Patriots, discovered too late this time that the Social Liberal Barak Hussain Obama is a Liar and Social Liberal Raciest who wants to change America & the WORLD...he can have the world but he will never get America. Patriots love America and they love Governor Sarah Palin. Mr. Obama and other blacks and mulottos believe it is more important for them to be African than to be a plain dull American Patriot , Wow How Dull it is for him and other blacks and mulottos to be just a plain dull American. He should be in the Melting Pot with all of us Colorful Dull American Patriots who loves God, Country, Guns, etc. and Governor Sarah Palin, and, don't forget we go by the plain old name of American.
From The Great State of Tennessee,Dull American Patriot and Proud of It.Oops,American
Justice Is Blind and So Should Be the Color of Our Skin. Red, Yellow, Black and White We Are Precious in His Sight, Jesus Loves the Children of the World.
P.S. Warning Notice: Don't forget, the Angelic Cunning Lucifer Union hates Blessings.

This 18 hole golf course and lighted driving range is conveniently located on Route 1 behind the Chateau Restaurant and Hampton Inn close to Route 95. Designed by Sam Mitchell, built by Frank Simoni and opened in 1975, Norwood Country Club is one of the best kept golf secrets in the area. A par 71, 6009 yard layout, the course has fairly flat terrain with medium sized, well-manicured greens.
The Club features a full service driving range, two practice greens, a nicely-stocked pro shop facility and cocktail lounge with a newly constructed bar, three flat-screen TVs and plenty of seating to watch games or televised tournaments.
Norwood Country Club is a good test for players of all abilities, as well as the ideal place to enjoy a casual round with friends.
Sterling Golf Management began managing this course in the Spring of 2007 and has recently completed numerous course improvements with plans for more during the course of operations. Superintendent, Joe Piana and his staff will be working diligently to maintain these improved conditions and we hope that the patrons of Norwood Country Club will appreciate our efforts.
Pat Berger, who has been the Business Manager for Sterling Golf since 1999, is now located at Norwood Country Club and has taken on the extra responsibilities of managing the pro shop and range. She and her staff offer the utmost in customer service and are always available to assist the needs of every guest.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Mariah!
Facts about Mariah
- Breed: Maltese Mix
- Color: White
- Age: Puppy
- Size: Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
- Sex: Female
Mariah's Info...
I am already spayed, a special needs pet, up to date with shots, and good with dogs.
Mariah is darling 4 month old Maltese mix puppy. She is very playful and frisky. Mariah loves to play with other young, small dogs yet she also enjoys being held and receiving affection. Her coat of hair is easy to maintain with daily brushing.
This puppy was surrendered by the owner to a Southern CA shelter. Mariah is very healthy, has been spayed, has a microchip and her shots are current.
On Sunday, July 5th Mariah will be at the Unleashed by Petco Store in Scripps Ranch from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.
For information on our adoption process, please go to our website at www.americanmalteserescue.org
Other Pets at American Maltese Assoc. Rescue--Southern California
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Mariah, a Ft. Bragg Maltese puppy was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Maltese for sale in Ft. Bragg, or seeking a Maltese puppy from a breeder in Ft. Bragg.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Ft. Bragg already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Ft. Bragg breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Maltese breeders who help with Maltese rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Ft. Bragg paves the way for another one to be saved.

Little Things
Getting a run in before work changes my whole day! I went to work a little later this morning (because of a last minute schedule change that required me to go to a different school), and I was able to go for a quick 25 minute jog around the neighborhood. It wasn't much, but being out there in the cool morning air and being done with a workout by 7:30 just makes me feel happy and energized for the rest of the day. One day I'll find a job that starts at 9:) I also had a meeting that went into the evening, so it worked out well. And there was birthday cake at the meeting!!! Apparently, the psychologists in my district celebrate staff birthdays each month, and since I'm an October baby, I celebrated with a large slice.
I hadn't planned on such a big snack though, and since Matt wasn't able to make it home for dinner, I cancelled the Mexican meal that had been on the menu, and settled with a veggie [No Bull] burger over a salad. I bought tomato basil feta this week, instead of my usual goat or blue, and it was so delicious on this salad. Its the little things.
And then I had a girls night. Except there weren't any other girls. Just French red, and a Sandra Bullock movie.
Now Remember The Titans just came on! I've got my furry flippers and my hoodie on, and I'm just gonna keep this cozy night going. A very happy hump day to you all.
Read MoreA Bit of Everything
It was one of those fabulous weekends. The sun was shining, the temps were perfect, and I had the whole weekend free to play. I did a bit of everything – relaxing, cleaning, organizing, exercising, eating, drinking, friending. Friday started with drinks and dinner at Fuqua Friday, and then Matt and I came home for a movie night. We watched Reality Bites, a movie that I've actually never seen, despite having listened to the soundtrack a million times. I really enjoyed it, and could definitely relate with the whole post-graduation blues thing. Although, I'm feeling that this year might be a turning point….
And we also enjoyed this wonderful Octoberfest, which was a nice prelude to Saturday's festivities.
I accidentally slept until 9 on Saturday and it felt glorious. A lot of times I feel zombie-like if I sleep too much (and when I sleep too little), but I felt great, so my body must have needed it. I went to spinning, and then worked hard to get my life in order – laundry, grocery shopping, a good shower scrub, cold-brewing new coffee for the upcoming week, dishwasher unloading, sheet changing – ya know, all the things that take over your weekend when you are supposed to be having fun:) In the afternoon, we dashed out to Fullsteam Brewery for a birthday party and then made our way over to the Bull City Burger Octoberfest.
We met lots of friends and enjoyed 20oz plastic mugs of Octoberfest with live music. It's funny how good beer and conversation with friends can make hours just fly by.
Around 8, we decided non-alcoholic nourishment was needed, so we walked to the Federal. I always order the veggie sliders because they are soo good, but I forced myself to branch out this time. I've been to the Fed three times before and always had the same thing, so I went for the burger this time (well, I really wanted the pimento cheese and fried green tomato sandwich, but they were out of tomatoes!). The burger was great – thick and juicy and topped with gruyere.
Of course when we saw Pumking on tap, Matt and I had to share a glass. Oh, and we also had the nachos, which were some of the best I've ever had! It was one of those nights where it just felt so great to be relaxing with friends with nothing else on my mind.
Sunday has involved pancakes and coffee and a glorious run around Duke's East campus. It's rare that I would describe a run with that adjective, but it just felt good today. I've started leaving my watch at home and just running, and I've noticed it's made running more enjoyable because I'm not worried about time goal. I'm still only running once or twice a week at most, but after having to quit because of stomach issues over the past two years and then deciding I hated running, I'm still trying to rekindle the relationship I used to have with it in college.
Back to Sunday – I spent the afternoon baking cupcakes for a cookout I'm going to tomorrow. I'm such a messy baker, but I do enjoy it! I used a double chocolate cake mix that I've been trying to use up forever, but made my favorite strawberry buttercream icing to go on top. Though I haven't tried a cupcake yet, I think this batch of icing is my best ever – the perfect balance of butter, sugar, and strawberry.
I also made pizza! And I've got leftovers to pep up my Monday!
Ahhh, I had a fabulous weekend. Friday night, Matt and I took it easy and had a few beers with new Fuqua friends and then ate a late dinner at the famous Ten Tables in Jamaica Plain. I was able to get a new camera, thanks to the accident protection plan I bought at Best Buy, but it wasn't up and running for picture taking on Friday night. The restaurant was adorable though, and I had a great burger. And, I did go back and add the pictures of Thursday's dinner to this post.
The highlight of the weekend, though, was a Pizzapalooza competition I participated in on Saturday night. A friend and her fiancee thought of the brilliant idea of having different teams/couples create different pizzas to see who could create the best. We prepared for the competition with appetizers and wine. Over the course of the evening, I had small pours of some really awesome reds. I especially loved the Rodney Stong and the questionable wine from Trader Joe's.
The contenders were: a shrimp pizza with homemade vodka sauce….
A date, pesto, and blue cheese pizza created by yours truly (and Matt)…
A mixed mushroom pizza with fontina and red sauce…
And a prosciutto and goat cheese with red sauce and olive tapenade.
Omg, they were all heavenly. Seriously, I was so impressed with all the creations.
I've always been a huge fan of shrimp pizza, and I think this one got my vote for the best. Unfortunately, we had some crust cooking issues, so the flavor of some of the pizzas (including mine) was compromised:( I've had my own before though, so I knew it was good.
Loved the shrooms on this guy!
My second favorite was definitely the prosciutto and goat cheese, party because the crust was the best of the four.
During all the action, the hosts' sweet dog quietly slept in the corner. She was sooo well behaved!
I must participate in a pizzapalooza again. It was so.much.fun.
Today, I engaged in pure relaxation. I caught up on a million blogs this morning and had a really nice workout. Remember how I've tried twice to have that perfect run in new shoes? Well, it finally happened today. I went back to the sports store for the third time and returned the Brooks. I gave up and just bought last year's model of the Asics and came home with the exact same shoe that I have now. I'm a little bummed that I couldn't even get something in a different color, but nothing is worth having knee pain and I'm relieved to be back in something familiar. I ran for about 35 minutes and was just happy to feel like a normal person…no stomach ache, no knee issues, no mental I-hate-running thoughts. It was nice.
It was also nice to stroll over to the movie theater for a late afternoon showing of Water for Elephants. I read the book for book club a few months ago and loved seeing the plot on the big screen. I think it's one of the best book-to-movies I've seen in a long time and I loved the actors.
With a great weekend behind me and a four day week ahead of me, I'm in a fantastic mood. Going to watch Weeds in bed before calling it an early night.
If you were to participate in pizzapalooza, what would you create?
What did other Water for Elephant readers think of the movie?
Read MoreAnd things were going so well…
Another productive day over at the high school and another IEP meeting in the morning. Anyone getting up to watch the wedding? I'm actually tempted by the idea of a little mimosa gathering, but given I have to present at a meeting at 9 am, I don't think that would be a very good idea. I might try to catch some of the news though, since I'll be up in the six's anyway.
I attempted a treadmill run after work, but I've been having a little trouble with pain in my knee since switching shoes Unfortunately, I think I might have to take them back and search for yet another pair. Anyway, I had to jump on the bike to finish my workout, because I didn't think I should run any further. I'm taking a break from spinning because Northeastern's spring semester just ended and there are no classes until the summer session begins.
I enjoyed Oprah this afternoon and did some tidying before getting busy in the kitchen. I made Angela's Lentil Pasta and loved it. I'm not the biggest lentil fan, but these were flavored just right, and I loved feeling like I was eating a really meaty sauce.
I've been working my way through a little bag of clearance jelly beans and they're on the menu for dessert.
I'm hoping to be in bed early tonight, as I've been horrible about going to bed before eleven. May is going to be a bit crazy, so I'm excited for a very low key weekend.
Ta Ta.
AND, I just went to add the pictures of dinner, dropped my camera, and it broke. Guess that's going to affect my blogging for a while…
Read MoreThe World at 3:30
Mmmm…70 degrees feels soooo good. I laced up the news shoes after work and went for my first run outside (in Boston) of the year. My shoes felt pretty good. Not fabulous, but solid enough that I think I'm going to keep them. Then run itself actually wasn't too great, probably because I never run anymore and because I was still full from a massive luncheon we had at work today. Regardless of how my body felt, I really enjoyed just being out in the world on a pleasant afternoon. And so did the rest of Boston. People were sitting on benches, eating ice cream, drinking wine, laying out, jogging, and shopping…all at 3:30 on a weekday. I just can't help but wonder what all those people do for a living that allows them to just hang out during typical working hours. Are they students, tourists, on their lunch break? Who knows, but I've got to figure out how to get my dream work schedule. Right now, I don't think 8 to 3 is it…10 to 6 would be ideal:)
So, I mentioned yesterday that tonight was my last class. It was actually bittersweet because we had a meeting with the faculty, which kind of made me want to be a student again. But then again, I'm very ready to see what the next chapter of life has in store for me and having some cash should be fun. The warm weather and my last class left me with that exciting feeling in the pit of my stomach that something big is about to happen…
I packed a re-creation of Saturday's Greek sandwich for dinner tonight, but I did want to share last night's dinner plus drink with you because it was a good one. I made Kath's coconut shrimp soup:
The shrimp were amazing (we splurged on fresh wild caught jumbos). The flavor of the coconut milk as the base was a really nice change of taste, seeing as I don't think I've ever cooked with it before. I will say I got a little tired of the collard greens (sorry Kath), because we used an enormous head of greens and they dominated the soup.

You encounter a group of shady-looking characters sitting around a pile of meat, playing cards. Curious, you approach them
"Hey there, fellows! What game are you playing?" you ask. They look up at you with narrowed eyes.
"Five-card Deathwish," one of them growls.
"Neat! Is that like Pinochle? Deal me in," you say, hunkering down and taking out your meat pouch. The narrowed eyes widen, and slow snaggletoothed grins appear around the circle.
The game turns out to be pretty interesting, and you do quite well at first, but your luck suddenly changes and all your winnings end up in the pot, along with all the meat you started with. To be fair, though, most of the other guys' meat is in there too, and the hand is down to just you and a guy with the colorful nickname "Surprisingly Psychotic Tony".
Tony puts down his cards. "Full house. Can you beat that, sucker?"
"Gosh, Tony," you frown. "I don't think I can. All I've got is two pair -- a pair of ones, and another pair of ones." You lay down your four aces.
Tony looks aghast. "Are you kidding me? The complete newcomer wins the high-stakes card game despite not knowing the rules? I hate that cliché!"
"Absolutely!" spits another guy. "That worn-out old trope has got to be one of the oldest in the book! That makes me really furious!"
"It's bad enough that the situation is utterly unrealistic," growls a third, slipping on a pair of brass knuckles, "But to use the old "a pair of ones and another pair of ones" gag? You think we're gonna put up with that sort of hackneyed tripe?"
You can probably guess where this is going: they beat you mercilessly, and leave you with your winnings and the four aces -- one pair up each nostril.
Occurs at South of The Border (Bad Moon only).

Hey all-
I got into this a bit ago and I just don't have time to play it. So I'm selling my copies of The Mountains of Madness and Ancient Horrors because it's a shame that there are so apparently some people that want this and can't have it.
PM me if you have any questions.

By Josh Peskowitz
You will spill sauce. You will spill mustard. Your wife will spill both on you. Do not panic. Just dab not rub the stain with some Schweppes, then grind some salt on there. When you get home, or if you must panic, pick up a stain-removal kit from club soda, usually that will hold you over. For those especially stain phobic, pick up a stain-removal kit from Madame Paulette. If it works for wedding dresses, it'll work on your polo shirt.
But wear strong jeans. A raw-selvedge denim pair should do. Even if you paid $200 for them, a barbecue's as good an excuse for a breaking-in as you're likely to get. Because a good pair of jeans can withstand napkin duty, or your ass in the grass, or a slide into third base. If it can't, then why the hell did you pay so much?
But only when you're cooking. And make it a shop apron, because no one wants to kiss the cook. And because they're cheap, last forever, and include pockets. Try heavy cotton twill, canvas, or more denim. It's all at the hardware store.
When you're cooking. Like European airliners, exposed toes do not get along well with burning ash. Nor with stampeding guests once you hit medium-rare. Not that you need to go with steel toes, exactly, but rubber ones look pretty good.
Even if it's cloudy. A man can man a grill with ease when the breeze isn't blowing smoke up his eye sockets. Also: that look of consternation over the charred chicken stays wear it should behind the lenses.
Much as we love cologne, it doesn't mask the smokey aroma so much as blend with it. Spray an odor neutralizer on the bottom half of your shirt before dessert instead. Alternatively, if anyone asks why you smell like fire, say: "Because I just made steak for thirty. What have you been doing?"
Just remember to say please.

CCMC299 Eggstra Spectacular
We have a fun sketch challenge for you to try over on Create with Connie and Mary! My mind went several different ways when I saw the sketch. I ended up deciding to use Stampin' Up!'s Eggstra Spectacular one more time before Easter! I think it turned out kind of fun! But, I really LOVE what the rest of the Challenge Team did! Make sure to check them out over on Create with Connie and Mary this week!
And here is my card! Aren't the bright Easter Eggs fun? I can hardly wait for our grandson, Carter, to enjoy his first Easter Egg "hunt".
The details:
- The base is 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 Strawberry Slush cardstock, folded in half.
- I embossed the top 2/3 of the 4 x 5 1/4 layer of Whisper White with the Perfect Polka Dots folder.
- Along the bottom, I added a 1 x 5 1/4 piece of Kaleidoscope Designer Paper, then a small strip of Basic Black cardstock to hide the seam.
- I stamped the egg from Eggstra Spectacular three times with Black Stazon on Crushed Curry, Strawberry Slush and Bermuda Bay cardstock, then punched with the Extra Large Oval Punch. They are popped up on the front with Stampin' Dimensionals.
- Since the eggs had the "greeting", I stamped the row of Easter eggs with Black Stazon on Whisper White and colored with Markers. I cut a flag end and placed the strip across the eggs.
- Finally, I added a small Petite Petals flower of Crushed Curry with an Itty Bitty Flower Punch of Strawberry Slush to the end, with a Rhinestone in the center.
Kind of fun and unusual Easter card, don't you think? I had fun with it!

March Tour de Freaks – It's SPRING!
Our theme this month on the Tour de Freaks, brought to you by the Control Freak stampers, is SPRING! It's finally officially spring…after such a LONG, COLD, SNOWY winter, I'm more than ready! I've seen several fat robins hopping around the yard! You probably just came from Wendy Weixler's blog…weren't her projects fun? If you've arrived prior to March 20th, please know that not all links may be working yet.
I did two projects…one a little candy favor box and the other a matching card using the fabulous Sweet Sorbet Designer Paper and Accessory Pack that are Sale-A-Bration selections…available only until the end of the month!
Here's a closeup of the box: The Easter Bunny Egg is filled with foil wrapped chocolate eggs. I wrapped the box with Sweet Sorbet Designer Paper, wrapped it with the Summer Starfruit Twine (hope there are more solid colors coming soon!) The Eggstra Spectacular bunny is stamped with Black Stazon on Whisper White and watercolored, then placed on a 2 1/4" Circle Framelit of Pool Party cardstock with a Pearl for his bunny bottom!
And open. I removed the clear acetate over the circle on the box so the top of the bunny stands up outside the box. Aren't those Easter Bunny eggs so CUTE!!!! I love them! I ordered WAY too many of them by mistake, so I need to use them up! lol!
And here is the matching card using the same Sweet Sorbet DSP and twine and the cute little bunny! I just LOVE all those patterns!
Hope you like my Spring inspired projects and these help you get ready for Easter! Next up on the blog tour is Heidi Baks...check out HER fun projects! Then make sure to take the tour around to all the stops until you come back here!

Yes, I once again used Ears to You this week! I'm trying to use it as much as possible before Easter! lol! Actually, as I mentioned earlier, this is my Easter card for this year. I need to get them mailed out…last year my Easter cards sat on my desk and never got mailed! lol! The Sunshine & Sprinkles Designer Paper is just so bright and colorful, too! Perfect for Easter cards!
Here are the details:
- The base is a square card, 4 1/4 x 8 1/2 Pink Pirouette, folded in half.
- I added a 4 x 4 piece of the polka dot pattern in Sunshine & Sprinkles DSP on top.
- I cut a Scallops #2 Square of Daffodil Delight and placed on top with Stampin' Dimensionals.
- Inside I have a Whisper White square embossed with the Cloudy Day folder, then sponged with a little Bashful Blue ink.
- I cut a scrap piece of Lucky Limeade for the grass and cut blades with my Paper Snips. I stamped Happy Easter from Teeny Tiny Wishes with Black Stazon on top.
- I inked up the bunnies from Ears to You with Daffodil Delight, and Pink Pirouette, then cut them out and placed in the grass with Stampin' Dimensionals. I added Pearls to their tails.
- Finally I tied a bow from Old Olive Striped Ribbon and adhered with a Mini Glue Dot.
Hope you enjoy my Easter card! Make sure to check out the rest of the Challenge Team over on Create with Connie and Mary for their designs this week using this sketch. Then grab your stamps and play along!
SUOC66 – Ears to You
OK..I must admit, this single stamp, Ears to You, is just the cutest Easter stamp! I love playing with it. My Easter cards (showing up later this week as a Create Challenge!) used TWO of the little bunnies. I used one of the left over third bunnies for this card for the SUO Challenge this week! I didn't want him to be lonely just sitting on my desk! lol!
I also pulled out a folder I haven't used for a while…the Framed Tulip Border one. I thought it fit perfectly with the spring theme of Easter Parade! Here are the details on my card:
- 4 1/4 x 11 Melon Mambo, folded in half to form base card.
- 4 x 5 1/4 Whisper White, embossed with the Framed Tulip Border folder.
- 3 1/4 x 3 1/2 piece of Sunshine & Sprinkles Designer Paper (I'm already on my second pack of this paper!), layered on a 3 1/2 x 4 piece of Melon Mambo, punched with the Scallop Trim Border Punch, then trimmed.
- Wrap around some Old Olive Striped Ribbon and tie a knot along the left side.
- I embossed the Oval Designer Frame on Whisper White, then cut it out and placed on the front with Stampin' Dimensionals.
- The single bunny was stamped with Daffodil Delight and cut out. He is also placed on the front with a Stampin' Dimensional and added a small Pearl for his eye.
- Finally, I stamped Happy Easter Everybunny! from the stamp set, Everybunny, in Basic Gray along the bottom. I love that greeting (and another great Easter set!)
Make sure to check out what the rest of the SUO Challenge Team did this week! Some fabulous Easter ideas!
CAS211 Ears to You
Splitcoaststampers has a fun CAS (Clean & Simple) CAS211 sketch challenge today so I thought I'd play along. I was able to use up some of the "starts" on my desk…you know…those little pieces of projects that you started, but didn't end up making the cut on the card you were making earlier! The little bunny is one of them. My Easter cards (you'll see later this week), used only 2 of the bunnies, so I had a few of these left over. You will see another card using one tomorrow! lol! I also had the two scraps of Sunshine & Sprinkles DSP and the Pink Pirouette already cut to size! Made this card come together REALLY quickly! So…here is the sketch.
And here is my take on it:
And here are the details:
- 4 1/4 x 11 of Pink Pirouette folded in half to make base card.
- 4 x 5 1/4 Very Vanilla layered on top.
- Two pieces of 1 1/8 x 3 1/2 Sunshine & Sprinkles Designer Paper, cut with flag ends and adhered on top.
- 1 1/8 x 4 piece of Pink Pirouette c/s, cut with a flag end, stamped with Everybunny greeting in Basic Gray and adhered with Stampin' Dimensionals.
- Punched Decorative Label from S&S DSP and placed on top of Pink Pirouette c/s.
- Cut out Pink Pirouette bunny from Ears to You placed with Stampin' Dimensional on top.
- I added two Itty Bitty flowers punched from Daffodil Delight cardstock.
- I placed Pearls in the centers of the flowers and on the bunny's eye!
So…what do you think? CAS? Fits the sketch? I was pretty happy with it and used up some of my "starts", too! Thanks for stopping by!
Ears to You
Over on The Paper Players, they have a fun sketch this week that I wanted to use for one of my Easter cards. I am just LOVING this little single stamp, Ears to You…only available until the end of March! My Easter cards will be done using this set. My Stamp Club made a version of this card for their club card earlier this month! I switched things up so it followed the sketch.
The bright colors on this card gives me hope that spring will eventually get here. Not this week as we are expected to get more ice and snow…boo! I took my colors from the Birds of a Feather Designer Paper…who knew that the eggs would be perfect for Easter. AND…there are some cute chicks on one of the patterns, too!
Here are the details:
- The base is 4 1/4 x 11 Primrose Petals cardstock, folded in half. I embossed the front with the Perfect Polka Dots folder.
- I added a 2 x 5" strip of the egg pattern from Birds of a Feather DSP and then a 1" strip of the yellow polka dot pattern in the same package. Plus, I used the SAB Island Indigo Ribbon as a little extra shimmer!
- I inked up the bunnies in Ears to You in Summer Starfruit, Island Indigo and Primrose Petals with my Stampin' Write Markers and stamped on Whisper White.
- I cut both the Whisper White and Crumb Cake with the Oval Framelits and pierced around the Crumb Cake one.
- I added a pearl to the center bunny's tail!
- Happy Easter was stamped with Island Indigo on Summer Starfruit and punched with the Modern Label Punch, then added across the bottom of the ovals.
Yep…I love it! Such a cheerful card! Perfect for Easter, don't you think?
Remember…I just listed more RETIRED STAMPS AND ACCESSORIES for sale! Check them out HERE!
A Little Bit of Spring
Yes, I'm wishing for "A Little Bit of Spring" so I pulled out this new set in the Spring Mini to get me started! I don't know about you, but even though it is still 10 days until Valentine's Day, I'm a little TIRED of making Valentine cards! Are you? So, since we are supposed to get up to 3" of snow today AND I have a downline meeting to attend tonight….I'm REALLY wishing for "A Little Bit of Spring".
I've also been hoping that Stampin' Up! would come up with a tree that you could hang things from…sort of like Season of Friendship. This tree is LITTLE and the images are little, but I still think it is fun!
Here are the details:
- The base card is 4 1/4 x 11 of Very Vanilla, folded in half, then embossed on the top half with the Honeycomb folder.
- Pink Pirouette is cut to 3 1/4 x 3 1/4 and layered on top with 3 x 3 piece of Tea for Two Designer Paper.
- I wrapped the Lucky Limeade Bakers Twine around twice and tied a bow, then popped up on top of the base card with Stampin' Dimensionals.
- Bashful Blue is cut to 1 1/2 x 2 1/2 to layer over the DSP. I stamped Easter wishes with Early Espresso Ink.
- The tree is stamped with Early Espresso (and omit stamped with Not Quite Navy on the pot) on a 1 1/2 x 2 piece of Very Vanilla, then colored the leaves with Lucky Limeade Marker.
- I stamped the eggs on scrap Very Vanilla, colored them with Markers, then cut them out and adhered to the tree with Mini Glue Dots.
- I lightly colored in the tree trunk with Early Espresso marker and added grass with the Lucky Limeade Marker along the bottom.
- The tree piece is layered on 1 3/4 x 2 1/4 of Pink Pirouette cardstock and popped up on the front with Stampin' Dimensionals.
- Finally, I rounded the bottom edges of the card with the Corner Rounder.
Isn't that a fun little image??? I can't wait to play with this tree some more!

Oh Hello for Easter!
Hmmm, sorry…this is posting later than normal! I had the BEST of intentions of getting up this morning and working up a quick card to post on my blog. BUT…I was tempted by a book I'm reading that only had a few chapters left. I got too tired last night to finish it before I went to bed, so grabbed it this morning and finished! It is the third book in a series of six and I'm already panicking because I'm half way thru them and I love the story line! (And because I know I'll get asked…it is called "A Fatal Series" by Marie Force…a murder mystery/romance theme…lol!)
But…enough of that! Here's my card for today. I did up a similar card for a Set Sampler event that I attended in December. I needed to make up two cards using the Oh Hello stamp set and I wanted to show the stamps in a different way on one card. The oval screamed Easter Egg to me. When I saw the Paper Players sketch (PP130), I thought it would be a good time to use the Easter Egg and Chick!
So…here is this version using the sketch!
The details:
- The base card is 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 So Saffron, folded in half.
- The layer of Whisper White is 4 x 5 1/4, embossed with the Honeycomb folder
- I added a 2 1/2 x 3 7/8" of Tea for Two Designer Paper, I cut the right edge along the edges of the hexagons…but that didn't effect show up in the finished card.
- Along the left side, I used the Dotted Scallop Ribbon Punch with a strip of Calypso Coral cardstock and tucked it under the edge of the DSP.
- I wrapped some Calypso Coral Ruffled Ribbon around the Whisper White layer and tied a knot.
- I stamped the oval from Oh Hello with Calypso Coral on Whisper White and cut it with a smaller Oval than the image. Then cut it in half like a cracked shell, placing a Mini brad along the edge for a hinge. It is layered it on a larger oval of Calypso Coral cardstock with Stampin' Dimensionals.
- Next I used the Bird Punch with So Saffron cardstock and cut the body to place inside the egg. I added a small pearl for the eye and colored the beak with Pumpkin Pie Marker.
- Finally, I stamped Happy Easter from Teeny Tiny Wishes in Calypso Coral ink on 1/2 x 3" So Saffron of cardstock.
Do you like??? I do!

CCMC191 – Everybunny
Oh, we have a fun color challenge for you this week over on Create with Connie and Mary! Wonderful SPRING colors…So Saffron, Wild Wasabi and Island Indigo! We've had such mild weather, it feels like spring around here…another sunny day…very unusual for Ohio in February!
When I first saw this set in the main catalog last summer, it was on my first order…even though I knew I wouldn't use it for MONTHS yet. It is just too cute! I have some wonderful pictures of the boys coloring Easter eggs when they were little…some day I will get them scrapbooked! lol!
For this card, I wanted to try something with the Framelits. Can you tell that is what I used along the bottom of the So Saffron layer? I used the largest one and put the 4" wide So Saffron cardstock in under the cutting blade, and the other end on top of the Framelit. Then I only ran it thru far enough to cut the bottom…not all the way…I just reversed and pulled it back out. That way I got just the cut on one end. Did anyone else think of that? I haven't seen it!
My base is Whisper White. I layered on the So Saffron that was cut with the Label Framelit and embossed with Snow Burst (this is still available to order!). I added a strip of Wild Wasabi Just Add Cake Designer Paper, layered on Island Indigo cardstock and wrapped the Island Indigo Ruffled Ribbon around and tied a knot.
I stamped Miss Bunny with Black Stazon, then watercolored with my AquaPainter and Stampin' Write Markers. I did add a little Crumb Cake color for the bunny…she couldn't be yellow or green or blue, now could she? I used one of the smaller Label Framelits to cut her out and attached with Stampin' Dimensionals. Finally, I stamped Happy Easter, Everybunny, in Black Stazon and punched with the Modern Label punch (I love how it coordinates!), then used a little clip to hold it in place at the top of the So Saffron layer!
Make sure to check out what the rest of the Challenge Team did this week over on Create with Connie and Mary...as usual, I'm always inspired by their creations!
Happy Easter!
Happy Easter! Hope you have a beautiful day! So far, no rain…and the spring flowers have their fancy dress on!
This was the Easter card I sent out this year. I have loved A Good Egg for years and every year borrowed my friend's set during the stamping retreat. This year I decided to purchase it for myself. It is just one of the good all-around Easter sets!
I used a base of Regal Rose and layered on Daffodil Delight that I ran thru the Big Shot with the Perfect Polka Dots Impressions Folder. I used a strip of Nursery Suite Designer Paper along the left side. For my focal element, I went back to the Sale-A-Bration set, Sweet Summer, and used the stem of leaves for the base of my tulip flower. Then I stamped the egg shell from A Good Egg on the Designer Paper and cut it out, popped up with Stampin' Dimensionals on top of the leaf stem. Stamped the Chick on Daffodil Delight and cut her out…colored her beak Pumpkin Pie. I stamped the little birdie from Sweet Summer and colored with Early Espresso. I also hand drew some grass along the base of the stem.
I layered the Whisper White panel on Regal Rose and used the Scallop Trim Border Punch along the left side. I stamped Happy Easter from A Good Egg in Early Espresso, punched with the Large Oval and layered on the Scallop Oval punched from Nursery Suite. This was popped up on the front with Stampin' Dimensionals. Finally, I used the Beautiful Wings Embosslit and added a butterfly with Rhinestone Jewel body.
I thought it made a FUN Easter card! Enjoy your day. We have about 12 coming over for Easter Dinner…better get back to cooking and setting the table!
