A Walk in her Shoes
Published 4:42pm Monday, August 12, 2013Its 1:34 in the
afternoon, and the hope of an actual lunch
break has come and gone, but her growling stomach is starting to become increasingly conspicuous in front of patients. So she quickly munches on an apple slice, as she reads the referral notes for next office visit to herself.
When you're an Urgent Care doctor on a busy day, and you're responsibilities range anywhere from saving lives to curing colds, skipping lunch breaks is just part of the territory. You never know when or how many people are gonna show up and need immediate medical attention. But the people of Fergus Falls, MN can rest assured in the fact that at the moment something goes wrong, Dr. Christine Cabrera of the Walk-In Clinic at Lake Region Healthcare will be ready for them.
Dr. Cabrera has been a part of the Lake Region Healthcare staff working in Urgent Care for about a year and a half. Inspired by a love for nutrition and the sciences, she states she chose Family Medicine because "I wanted to do something where I could make a difference". She describes the most satisfying aspect of her career as being able to interact with patients and help them and their families, and whether by getting to know the children she once helped deliver or by walking someone through a difficult diagnosis, she's certainly making an impact in the lives of her patients.
Working hard to get to this point in her career, Dr. Cabrera's had quite the journey from growing up in Fergus Falls, MN, her residency at UCSD, her time spent working at of the clinic in Camp Pendleton, her two years serving as an Urgent Care provider in San Diego Ca, to her eventual return back to her homeland of Fergus Falls. To some it may be a mystery as to why after settling in sunny southern California, she would choose to return here to place her roots. But for Dr. Cabrera, family is clearly a high priority and with a now two year old son, she wants him to have the chance to be near his grandparents. "It's not about a specific location for me, it's just getting to be near my family", she says. Perhaps we can all appreciate the sweet simplicity that Fergus Falls has to offer in comparison to a big city like San Diego, but for Dr. Cabrera it wasn't about location, it was about with whom she wanted to share her life. Thankfully that means we get the benefit of having her amongst our community for many years ahead, as she states "I enjoy where I'm at and plan to do this for a very long time".
One of the most distinguishing qualities about Dr. Cabrera is the peaceful demeanor in which she carries herself. A quality that's certainly admirable given the stressful nature of her job and the many hats she wears. She credits her husband, Alex Cabrera, for helping her to balance the long schedule she keeps at the clinic with her personal life. Having met during a Y2K New Year's Eve celebration, the couple is a great example of how to work as a team to support each other in both family and career goals. Furthermore, Dr. Cabrera has always looked up to her grandmother, describing her as the leading example in her own life of how to manage a busy schedule." My grandmother did it all", she states, "baking, quilting, raising 7 kids…she even used to set up a kitchen in a railroad cart and travel around throughout farm sites to feed the workers". Dr. Cabrera continues the legacy of the strong female examples she's had in her life, and all the while still finds time for some of her personal favorite activities such as cooking, reading, sewing, running, and taking time each morning to "take my cup of coffee & my bible", something she enjoys in addition to spending time with her family.
But she's only just getting started. Dr. Cabrera not only hopes the next chapter of her story to involve expanding her family with more children, but she looks forward to many years spent in the company of her parents, nieces, nephews, and surrounding family, as well as a long future continuing her passion of practicing medicine.
Residents of Fergus Falls and surrounding towns should take comfort in the fact that if God forbid, they too should find themselves in need of medical care, they will at least be in close distance to Dr. Cabrera and her medical team at the Walk-In clinic of Lake Region Healthcare. If it weren't for her already busy schedule one could even recommend a visit just to say hello, because Dr. Cabrera is not only an asset to the community, a loving mother and wife, and a leading example in our community, but she also happens to be a genuinely nice person.

I recently posted a design option problem on the Revit AUGI site.( go to AUGI) It took a while to get an answer, but apparently, design options are created in a built-in workset. If two users are in the same design option, they are also in the same workset and are unable to create a second workset. This creates a "save to central/relinquish" battle where each user is warned that they cannot save unless the other user relinquishes. The architects assigned to this task refused to continue working under these circumstances. As a workaround, I created multiple design options, even though they were all one scheme and should be in one option. This subsequently created plotting problems.
The project is for a government agency and by contract we must provide three schemes. We have a floor plate of 195,000 SF, yet I can only assign one architect to this task. Design options ought to allow multiple worksets.
Does this analysis sound correct? Did I set this up wrong or is there another way I can assign multiple users to a design option? The attached plan shows how the floor is divided into departments, each of which is demised and has no connections except to the common corridor. In theory, I could assign a separate architect to each department, if Revit would allow that, of course!
The AUGI link above will fill in more details about my issue, plus some comments from readers.
This is by design. It might help to think of the design option as similar to a group: Only one person is allowed to edit it at a time. Development is aware and is looking into possible code changes to allow the functionality you mentioned.
Here's another Augi thread on the subject: http://forums.augi.com/showthread.php?59508-Design
Hope this helps and let me know if you have additional questions. Thanks for posting....

Designers worry all the time about builders who ad-lib "improvements" to their carefully thought-out creations, often without fully understanding why it was designed a certain way originally. All too often the modifiers create "gotchas" and traps, some safety related. However, when the pane goes down, the original design tends to get the blame (and often the lawsuit), not the modification. It's stuff like this, and the liability risks in general, that caused Rutan to stop making the kits or selling plans. |
Mar 07, 2007, 03:50 PM | |
Don, you were close. In the report I read he had to twist his body to the left and stretch back to reach the fuel switch. In the process, his right leg extended on the rudder and that caused the crash.
You are 100% correct though about amateurs changing things designers had well thought out. |

Build thread here and plans are on post 10. Excellent flyer! We made ours with a flat wing no dihedral. Flies just as good if not better and alot easier to build! http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=424521 Don, Shakespere was right, Kill all the Lawyers, kill them tonight!

I'm sure the report I read said that this motion, with his right hand still on the sidestick, resulted in a nose-down elevator input (the elevators on the Eze's are pretty sensitive and powerful). Rudder would have caused a yaw, which coupled with the wing sweep and winglets would produce a rolling effect, but not as great a nose-down effect as a little nudge on the elevators would do. However, I could be wrong, wouldn't be the first time. They say the first thing to go is the memory, and I forget what goes after that... |

Glad I found this thread.
I have had an idea to make a canard for a long time, and thought I would share about it here.
I scratch built a LykaJet from Model Airplane News plans years ago, and still have the original wing from it. It was a prop-jet plane for .45 power. I want to test out my canard configuration using a gutter downspout and quick built canard stabilizer, rear engine, and fixed landing gear. Eventually I would like fuselage retractable mains and a nose retract. I am having various ideas about rudders and thought they should be as far aft as possible to maintain positive yaw stability, and maybe put the rudders downward with a small wheel on the bottom to replace main gear? Is airfoil of the canard critical? I read on that canard C page that it needs a coef. Lift higher than the wing? What about engine thrust line? I was going to have the engine sit 2.5 above the wing pushing? Will this create a large down pitch moment if the thrust line is above the wing? I want this to be a very fast plane so any profile drag reduction and trim drag reduction is what I am trying to avoid. Here is a model I created playing with wingtip fins, though I would like to have fuselage mounted fins if they provide enough yaw stability? |

Shinden build advice....
I just picked up the Shinden from Hobby-Lobby. I've noticed through reading this thread you fly it occasionally and early on have posted some build mods. If it isn't too much trouble, could you summarize any important deviations you made from the (less than perfect) build instructions, e.g., power choice, CG location, bracing, etc. Anything at all would be appreciated. I've looked around quite a bit and you're the only person I've heard build/fly one If anyone has a link for this build, that'd be great. Oh, btw, our club patriarch flies a 40 size Long Easy. Always gets a LOT of attention at the field. Very fast.... |
Mar 09, 2007, 09:45 PM | ||
It may take a few days for Charles to get back to you as we flew together today here in Florida. I think he will head back home on Sunday. Congrats on the shinden. I designed my own from roughly the same size as the Hobby Lobby model. Charles and I flew the noon show at the Spring Hill Auto Gyro event and he flew his GA Goose and I flew my Shinden. They both fly well. I have attached a link here for you to review my version of the shinden. If you build with blue core, I have plans available. Good luck with your Shinden C-YA RL http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showt...60#post6949860 |

Scratch Building...
Thanks IG,
Inasmuch as the scratch-build intrigues me, my family at this point in time gives me grief if I spend a few hours putting a foamie together Any spare time I am "allowed" for myself I prefer flying Very nice planes you have there. Do you have a particular manufacturer of batteries, ESC's and motors you like to deal with? With these light foamies I'm going to invest in Lipos and brushless gear and am looking for advice regarding the same. Great thread. I always like to be different and the canard design suits my style! |

mr bisset, Take a look at post 43 for discussion on rudders and canard airfoil. The thrust line should be located to balance out the drag of the wings and fins. The canard picture you posted shows the thrust line well. It should be more in line with the main wing since it has the most drag.The-Drake. check out posts 32,33 and 40. I used the AXI 2204-54 with three cells and increased the canard area a little to get the COG a little more forward. Inspector Gadget has the perfect Shinden with canard size and his preferred angle of incidence. It is an unbelievable performer and I cannot add any comments to surpass his results. Mike, this thread has builds on the large and small Slow Sticks. They both penetrate the air with authority and are not the floaters like the conventional types.The small one has a negative angle of attack on the main wing. Both use 3.5 degrees of decalage. The COG came from our calculator used in this thread. I am happy to be home after spending the weekend near Spring Hill, Fl flying my Quaker and Ga. Goose at the Auto Gyro and Vintage meet there. Charles

Charles, it was great seeing you and Pat at Spring Hill. I saw you leaving the banquet Saturday night and wholy expected to see you out to the field on Sunday so I could say my goodby's. Not! You boogied out on me. We really appreciate you flying the Goose for the lunch break demo flights. A truly remarkable machine. Thanks again from the HCRCC gang. And your Quaker was a dream to watch. You are a great builder. One of the best I have seen in years. If not sooner, we'll see you at SEFF.
Now to get started on my Voyager Long EZ. Be back in a few days with a report. Tom |

concrete crack repair kit
Good morning Jerry Lee, with my experience in this problem, the really best way is to expose the cracks that a seeping water and repair then from the outside.
Many times there's a crack that's not taking water threw them due to the crack doesn't go all the way through the wall but if you have the outside exposed fix the all with V'ing them out approx.1 in, cleaning them( I MEAN REALLY CLEAN) and use any 2 part appoxey for concrete and a peice of fiber mesh and glass it for the double fix. If you can't expose the outerside,they do rent the clamps to secure a bracket to the inside wall, for the injection tube attached to it and it will push the material with a super amount of pressure to insure the crack is full with out any voids.Large rental companies rent these. United rental is one of those rentals if their in your area. I hope I helped. If you should need any more with this, please don't be hesatant to hit me up...

Australian Top-Model Andrej Pejic Visits MCM HAUS in Seoul
Yesterday, the whole of the MCM Haus fell in love with supermodel Andrej Pejic as he visited our Seoul Flagship and HQ. Just another day at the office, really! For those of you who aren't familiar with his haunting beauty, Andrej is a super famous androgynous model, born in Bosnia and residing in Australia. He was scouted when he was just 17, some say it was while he worked in a McDonalds, some say it was at a swimming pool in Melbourne. EIther way, we are all happy he was scouted as his physique deserved to be celebrated the world over.
Unlike any other models, he has walked the runway for both men's and women's clothing for all the greatest international designers. In 2011, he walked both the men's and women's show for Jean-Paul Gaultier and the men's show for Marc Jacobs. He's appeared on multiple covers internationally and he was also recently in David Bowie's video for "The Stars Are Out Tonight". Come to think of it, there is definitely a bit of Bowie to Andrej good looks.
Andrej visited our Seoul Flagship - MCM Haus - yesterday and spent a few hours admiring the new collection, special edition pieces and trying on our ready-to-wear collection. Needless to say he looked better than anyone in everything.
Here Andrej wears an MCM leather coat and backpack.
I now really want this leather trench coat, how perfect!

I moved to Breckenridge over 15 years ago in an attempt to satisfy my overwhelming craving for world class powder skiing and fly fishing. I have not looked back. Breckenridge is such an amazing place with a variety of things to do all year round. It is a veritable playground!!! I am lucky to have chosen the rewarding profession of nursing which allowed me to run the Homecare and Hospice Agency in Summit County for over a decade.
Noreen purchased this house in 2008
The location of this property is fantastic!!! I can access miles of trails right from the house for cross country skiing, snowshoeing, mountain biking, hiking and road biking. I love being so close to town. I can walk the whole way to town via a sidewalk or take the free shuttle from right in front of the house. The shuttle will even take you up to the mountain for skiing, snowboarding, or mountain biking.
I love being so close to town but not right on main street. The view of horseshoe bowl from the Great Room window is stunning. Of course, the jacuzzi tub in the bathroom is one of my most favorite spots. So great after a hard day of hitting powder.....
This gorgeous vacation home is located 6 blocks to Historic Main Street Breckenridge and just a short shuttle ride to the Breckenridge Ski Resort. You can see the Ski Resort from the property.

Love Letter to Steve Jobs. ~ Nicole Billa
WeŌĆÖre not our skin of grime, weŌĆÖre not dread bleak dusty imageless locomotives, weŌĆÖre golden sunflowers inside, blessed by our own seed & hairy naked accomplishment-bodies growing into mad black formal sunflowers in the sunset, spied on by our own eyes under the shadow of the mad locomotive riverbank sunset Frisco hilly tincan evening sitdown vision.
~ ┬ĀAllen Ginsberg┬Ā "Sunflower Sutra"
It was a bad night.┬ĀIt was one of those nights where I am scared of my bed. I paced the neighborhood. I came in at 11, knowing I must be up at 5:30 to write. I went on Facebook even though I knew it would cost me at least half an hour of sleep. I donŌĆÖt know what I was hoping to find there.
Not this, though:
RIP Steve Jobs.
The news must have broken only minutes before.
ItŌĆÖs not that I didnŌĆÖt know it was coming. Who survives pancreatic cancer as long as you did? I saw a video clip of your last keynote, and I knew. You had the look. I spent a few months at Sloan Kettering, when Big Son was ill. I knew it┬Āwouldn't┬Ābe long.
Just a few months ago,┬ĀI read a book about the early years of Macintosh. You always knew where you were going. You spoke of a time when we would have handheld computers that could do everything. We would have access to information and each other. Who knew what would happen, once we could do that? These machines you envisioned would mean people could communicate freely with each other, and thus we would have a chance at remaining free.
You didnŌĆÖt let the fate and direction of the world deter you. You had your failures and your successes, but your vision remained clear.
I read you were dead and I cried my eyes out. I couldnŌĆÖt stop crying until I fell into a desperate sleep at 2am. I could not understand the depth of my grief. WeŌĆÖve never even met. I woke up after a few hours of broken sleep and I still was crying.
I have children. I have work to do, heart breaking or not. Big Son asked why I was crying. I gave him his breakfast and I told him you had died.
ŌĆ£But he only resigned on August 24th!ŌĆØ┬Ā He is 11.┬Ā He knows the day because he is a musician. You matter to musicians. He loves you.┬Ā Big Son can make a music video of himself and his friend covering a Metallica song, because we have an iMac. They sat down at the computer and figured it out inside of an hour.
I keep hearing ŌĆ£Power to the PeopleŌĆØ in my head. Did you use that in an ad once?
I couldnŌĆÖt find the words to explain to Big Son how I felt the world had shifted with your passing. Usually words are the only thing that come easily to me.┬ĀAs the day went on, my thoughts settled and the words found some kind of form to explain your meaning.
This is why you matter so much:┬ĀIf I want to record a song, or publish a screed, or make a poster that looks professional, there is a program on the iMac for it.┬ĀIt will be simple enough that I can figure it out for myself. If I, no computer wizard, want to make a film protesting any of the things there are to protest, well I can. I think they call it iMovie.
Maybe I will. Maybe I will use a John Lennon song as a backdrop, and show pictures of mothers all over the world crying because their sons, American or Iraqi or any other artificial divisions, are hurt or dying.┬ĀMaybe I will show the children starving 5 miles down the highway while we keep building better and better guns. Maybe I will speak back to the people who tell me I am ŌĆśpolitically ignorantŌĆÖ and a ŌĆśridiculous idealistŌĆÖ for thinking that no matter how you slice up the war pie, every piece you get is poison.
I might even start tomorrow, Steve.┬ĀYou've┬Āmade it pretty easy to use your machines.
You gave us the means of production. You handed us the power. You saw the way the world was going. You knew that if they ever got full control of the words and the images and the sounds, we would be living in 1984. So you did what you could to stop it. Sure, they control the networks and the newspapers. So what?┬ĀWe have blogs and independent films and we can organize ourselves to Occupy Wall Street if we need to.
Paul Revere was a printer. I remembered that today, thinking of you. He helped start a revolution and it came from the word, and the means of transmitting the word. He had a printing press of his own. No one could stop him from printing his words.
Knowledge in the hands of the few is tyranny. In the hands of many, it is democracy.You are a continuation of a movement that began hundreds of years ago, when the word moved from the control of the Church to the pens and presses of the many.
┬Ā"I would trade all of my technology for an afternoon with Socrates."
Me too, Steve.
As long as we can communicate with each other, we will always be free.┬ĀThey will not be able to stop us.┬ĀAlready I have been scoffed at. After all, Apple is just another big rich corporation. But if weŌĆÖre going to be ruled by corporations, let it be that one.
I was lucky enough to work for your sister.┬ĀShe taught me how to write, at Bard. I took her writing workshop when she was writing the book that was most definitely not about you, and I had a work-study job where I practically swooned to file her papers for $4.50 an hour. Perhaps that is why I have always felt I knew you.
A few months ago someone told me you had gone to India to meet my guru, Neem Karoli Baba. You went to India to meet him but he had already left his body. I donŌĆÖt believe in coincidence, only meaning, so I read the book about you and then my husband found your Stanford speech.┬ĀI posted it on Facebook back in May. It started a conversation. You were teaching the Gita.
I took your Stanford speech to heart.┬Ā In the truest sense; I took those words as coming from a higher source at exactly the right time:
ŌĆ£When I was 17, I read a quote that went something like: "If you live each day as if it was your last, someday you'll most certainly be right." It made an impression on me, and since then, for the past 33 years, I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself: "If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?" And whenever the answer has been "No" for too many days in a row, I know I need to change something.ŌĆØ
I listened to your whole speech and it was true, every word of it. I knew I had to make my life worth living or die.┬ĀI started the very next day. Tonight they replayed that part of your speech on NPR.
WeŌĆÖve moved since your speech; not just where we live but in the direction of the way we want to live.┬Ā Yesterday I wrote a little, prayed a little, helped someone to grieve. Mostly I was the mom with the house where the kid who always gets screamed at is safe. Where you can stay if you are nice to each other, and you are allowed to dig up the yard. People come in and out as if our house is some kind of base camp. If today was my last day, I am happy with what I did.
Let others write about your cultural and technological impact. I only know what you did for me. I was a sad girl, always lonely. I was poor and I was hated and every day at school the kids reminded me of how awful I was.┬ĀI was the loser who had skipped a grade, I was ugly, I was bad.┬ĀThey never let me forget it. School was a prison.
But at home, I had a nook with an Apple IIGS. Someone had helped my mother scrape the money together for it.┬ĀI wrote enough poems to decide I had written a book. I wrote whole novels. I printed out my work and it was real, and I was real, and I knew I could write, and that was armor against their derision.┬ĀIt was armor strong enough to keep me from being one of the kids who killed themselves when the pain of being hated was too much.
When I sat down at the computer, I wasnŌĆÖt a dirty locomotive, I wasnŌĆÖt a loser, I wasnŌĆÖt a bookworm who┬Ādidn't┬Āfit in anywhere.
I was a writer, and I could publish myself.
Thank you.

I can't believe 309 people have read this and not one comment!
Beautifully written. A love letter in the true sense. A declaration of love and intent, and the little I know of Steve Jobs tells me that if he could have one more day on earth it'd be things like this that would make him most proud of the life he lived.
Thank you. -
Makes me really realize how much the world has lost and how much we gained by his living! Beautifully written!
A comment on charity: Please remember that Steve Jobs was one of the principal backers of the Seva Foundation.We do not truly know anyone's charitable contributions – only those they care to report. Many donations are made anonymously, and that may well be the case here.
Beautiful essay Nicole! Made me so emotional…we truly lost a visionary.. Janine
Principal backer of Seva.. now that's a big LMAO.
I've followed steve and others since the beginning, as i am deeply rooted in the computer world.Steve with his over 350billion dollar a year profiting empire could have done much much more. But he didn't. Sure he gave 5000$ to Seva. Sure maybe he gave more under the bedsheets. Highly doubtful. Why? because with an empire that large he alone could have abolished poverty and hunger in many countries. Unless you are trying to say that Seva has been pocketing money? I hope that's not what you're saying.
25 percent of my income goes to helping anyway I can. 25 goes to savings for myself and family. the other 50 are taxed and spent on food and housing etc.

"The material covered in LSSU's engineering program provided me a solid foundation for graduate studies. The systematic approach and communication skills needed to tackle engineering projects were taught and then practiced over and over again. In particular I appreciate the many hours spent by the faculty to develop oral presentation skills in each student. As a graduate student now, these skills have proven to be highly beneficial and, to my surprise, obviously not taught to the same extent at many other universities."

Robotic Calibration Systems (RCS) is a multidisciplinary team of engineering students comprised of two electrical engineers, one computer engineer, and three mechanical engineers.The team was assigned the task of designing and building two service test stands for Continental Automotive Systems (CAS), a world-wide leader in innovative technologies for vehicle safety applications. The stands will be used to calibrate the Sprint 3 Programmable Steering Machine, which is manufactured by Heitz Automotive. The Steering Machine used by CAS automates testing applications pertaining to vehicle rollover testing.Currently, Continental has no way to test the calibration and/or service its Steering Machines after installation in a vehicle. The RCS test stands would provide a means and a tool for performing static, functional and dynamic maneuver testing to make sure the Steering Machines are calibrated properly and operating correctly. Continental would use the calibrated machine to assist in the quality assurance and development of its electronic safety systems.

Snowflake Flip Card
Over the past couple of weeks I have have posted several handmade card samples made with new stamp sets that are going to be in the upcoming Stampin' Up! Holiday catalog on August 28th. One of the perks of being a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator is the ability to preorder from upcoming catalogs a month early which allows us Demonstrators to make samples to share with all of you before the catalog is released to customers. Well the problem that I always have is deciding which sets I like best and which one to start with making samples. Also which new Designer papers are my favorite.
Yesterday, I posted a Holiday card made without a stamp set, but from paper and a tree die from the Snowflakes Card Thinlit set. Here is another card made with the thinlit set. I do really like the flip card patterns that Stampin' Up! has come out with over the past couple of years.
I have to admit that this card was not easy to photograph either. Because it is a flip card, it keeps opening up making it very difficult to photograph!
This card uses the Snowflake Card Thinlits dies to create the flip card.
Valentine's Card
Today's post is a handmade Valentine's card that I made with the new Silver Vellum designer paper from
the Occasions catalog. This card would also be great for a wedding or anniversary as well!
So the details:
The card base is Whisper White with a layer of Silver Foil paper. The vellum with the embossed hearts is cut just a tad smaller than the silver foil.
The Heart from the Language of Love stamp set in the Occasions catalog is stamped and embossed with Silver embossing powder. The heart is cut out using the Heart shaped framelits. The heart is layered onto a doily with a piece of silver ribbon attached.
I used a scrap of the silver foil paper to cut out Love with the Expressions framelits from the Holiday catalog.
Like this card? This card is one of the cards from my Valentine's class.
Happy Stampin'!

Thinlit Die Christmas card
Another card from my Cards that Move series using the Circle thinlit Die. This is a Christmas card that is made with the Season of Style Designer paper and the Ornament Keepsakes set which is still available.
This card is actually a CASE (copy and steal everything) from one of my downlines, Michele Lacerda. Michele is one of several really great card designers in my downline. i have a very talented downline and we have a great time when we all get together!
In fact, our weekend retreat is coming up. Want to join us on Cape Cod for a Girls' weekend on October 26th? Join my group!
We meet monthly to share ideas and stamp. I have the best team! I have been a STampin' Up! Demonstrator for 12 years (next week) and I am always learning something new from one of my team members. You can watch a short video about becoming a Stampin' Up! Dmonstrator here.
So back to this card. I used the diagonal stripe from the Season of Style designer paper in the Holiday catalog with accents using Cherry Cobbler card stock. The ornament is stamped with Old Olive ink. and cut out using the coordinating Ornament keepsakes framelits. Don't forget to stamp two ornaments. One for each side of the circle.
And I really think the bling with the Champaign Glitter paper makes this card.

Here is another example of the new Circle thinlit die and a Halloween card that moves! I love the ease of these new dies in making the flip cards.

The bat in the middle of the circle card flips around as the center of the circle is cut out.

Thinlit dies and more Flip Cards
The theme for my upcoming October technique classes is cards that move. With the new thinlit dies, these cards have become so much easier to make!
This is a card that I designed yesterday using the SoHo Subway designer paper with the By the Tide Stamp set.
I added a little flair to the card by making the shell spin within the circle of the thinlit.
To do this you need the circle framelits to cut out the center of the circle on the card.
Like this card? This is one of the cards that I will teaching how to make at my Cards that Move Technique Classes in October.
Cards that Move Part 1
Wednesday October 2nd 7pm
Cards that Move Part 2

Holiday Cards Stamp a Stack
It is never too early to get started on those Holiday cards! How can it already be mid-September??
I have been working on design for seveal sets of Holiday cards. These are just a few of the cards that I have ready to go.
The first set is made with the Season of Style Designer paper and the second set is made with the Winter Frost designer paper with all the beautiful shades of blue and silver. Like these cards? Well, I am offering two opportunities to make these cards. Join me for a Stamp-a-Stack of Holiday cards 1. Monday September 16th at 6pm at Sal's Pizza in Woburn, MA. Sal's is at 299 Washington St. in Woburn (in Cummings Park). or 2. Friday September 20th at 7pm in my Creative Playground. You can register for either location below! I hope to see you then!!Thinlit Card Dies – 2 Holiday samples
Here are a couple of new cards that I made with the new Thinlit Card Dies. These new dies are fantastic! The dies make a flip card a quick piece of work!
I made my cards with the Winter Frost designer paper in the Holiday Mini catalog. The first stamp set is the Jewish Celebrations set that is still available from last year's Holiday catalog. I love the colors of blue in this designer paper.
The card base is Island Indigo with an accent of silver glitter paper cut with the Labels collection framelits. The images are stamped with island indigo ink.
The inside of the card is layered with more Winter Frost designer paper and a piece of coastal cabana card stock. The message shalom is stamped and added to the inside of the flip portion of the card.
The second card uses the same format with the thinlit die to make the flip card with the same designer paper. But the stamps are Christmas ornaments from the Christmas Collectables set.
I love the Winter Frost designer paper with the two sheets of metallic patterned paper. The Shalom card uses the striped metallic designer paper on the background and going down the fold on the inside of the card. The Christmas card uses the metallic designer paper with the mosaic pattern on the flip portion of the card.
So which metallic paper do you like better? Let me know your vote – the metallic strip or the metallic with the mosaic pattern!

01.6.2015The Best Movies Of 2014 By Genre
12.25.201409.10.2012 | By Karen Posada |
This was a very weak weekend for the box office, the worst since September 2008. With that said, 'The Possession' was number one once again with $9.5 million dollars. This horror film is enjoying its second week in a row on top, but it surely will get bumped down a couple of spots next weekend.
'Lawless' holds its position at number two with $6 million dollars. The film staring Shia LaBeouf and Tom Hardy followed by other big names, has tried its best to earn more at the box office; but it seems like it won't reach its goal.
Zoe Saldaña and Bradley Cooper's 'The Words' opened at number three with $5 million dollars. The amount the film gathered doesn't cover the cost of production yet, which was $6 million dollars. Surprisingly the duo didn't have much pull at the box office.
The Top 10 Movies in the Box Office are:
1. The Possession – $9.5 mil
2. Lawless – $6 mil
3. The Words – $5 mil
4. The Expendables 2 – $4.8 mil
5. The Bourne Legacy – $4 mil
6. ParaNorman – $3.8 mil
7. The Odd Life of Timothy Green – $3.7 mil
8. The Campaign – $3.5 mil
9. The Dark Knight Rises – $3.3 mil
10. 2016: Obama's America – $3.3 mil

Mami Kawada (川田 まみ Kawada Mami?, born February 13) is a Japanese pop singer who is signed to NBCUniversal Entertainment Japan and is a member of I've Sound, a musical group which produces soundtracks for eroge games and anime. Born and raised in Sapporo, Japan, Kawada made her musical debut in 2001 after being discovered by her music teacher Eiko Shimamiya with the release of the song "Kaze to Kimi o Daite". She released her first single in 2002. Her first album, Seed, was released in 2006. She first performed overseas in Taiwan in 2007 and later appeared at the Bangkok Comic Con in Thailand in 2014. Her music songs have been featured as theme music for various anime such as Shakugan no Shana, A Certain Magical Index, Hayate the Combat Butler, Jormungand, and Tokyo Ravens.
Kawada's vocal talents were first discovered by Eiko Shimamiya, who was her teacher at the Mitsuno Music School in Sapporo, Hokkaido.[1] She was introduced to I've Sound, a music production group which featured Shimamiya as a member. Kawada joined I've Sound in 2001, and in that year released her debut song titled "Kaze to Kimi o Daite" (風と君を抱いて?, "Embrace You and the Wind"), which was used as the opening theme to the eroge Miss You.[2][3] The song was later compiled on I've Sound's 5th compilation album Out Flow (2003).[4]
In 2002, she released her first song associated with an anime, "Sora no Mori de" (空の森で?, "In the Forest of Sky"), the ending theme to the anime Please Teacher!. The song was released in a split single with singer Kotoko, who performed the series' opening theme "Shooting Star".[5] That same year, Kawada and Shimamiya performed a number of theme songs for visual novels as the unit Healing Leaf,[6] although only one of those songs, "Ame ni Utau Ballad" (雨に歌う譚詩曲?, "A Ballad Sung in the Rain"), was featured in an I've Sound Compilation.[7] In mid-2003, she performed the ending theme to the anime Please Twins!, "Asu e no Namida" (明日への涙?, "Tears for Tomorrow").[8]
Seed (2005–2006)[edit]
In 2005, Kawada signed a contract with Geneon Entertainment (now NBCUniversal Entertainment Japan) and released her first major single "Radiance", which was used as the opening theme to the anime Starship Operators.[9] Later that year, she released her second single "Hishoku no Sora", which was used as the opening theme to the anime series Shakugan no Shana.[10] It became her best-selling single and sold approximately 37,000 copies, peaking at 11th at the Oricon weekly charts.[11][12]
In March 2006, Kawada and Kotoko released a split single for the OVA adaptation of the game Baldr Force, with Kawada performing the ending theme, "Undelete" and Kotoko performed the opening theme "Face of Fact (Resolution ver.)".[13] Four weeks later, Kawada released her debut album Seed. The album reached number 12 in the Oricon weekly charts and charted for five weeks, selling more than 25,000 copies.[12][14] Later that year, Kawada held her first live tour, where she distributed a pamphlet CD containing the first instance of a song that she both performed and composed by herself, "Carpe Diem".[15]
Savia (2007)[edit]
After her success with "Hishoku no Sora", Kawada released "Akai Namida", an insert song for the Shakugan no Shana movie in May 2007.[16] She also sang "Tenjō o Kakeru Monotachi" (天壌を翔る者たち?, "Those Who Scale Heaven and Earth"), the movie's ending theme, together with Kotoko, Shimamiya, Mell and Kaori Utatsuki under the name Love Planet Five.[17] Three months later, she performed the second ending theme to the series Hayate the Combat Butler, "Get My Way!".[18] Kawada's next single, "Joint", was released on October 31, 2007. The titular song was used as the opening theme to the series Shakugan no Shana Second.[19] The single marked her first top 10 single entry as it reached number 9 in its first week on the Oricon weekly charts, eventually selling 37,000 copies and charting for 19 weeks.[12][20] After Kawada's success with her fifth single, she performed at her first live concert outside of Japan on January 19, 2008, at the KHS Hall in Taiwan.[21][22] In late March 2008, Kawada released her second album Savia. The album included "Sense", used as the ending theme of episode 24 of Shakugan no Shana Second, as well as "Akai Namida" and "Get My Way!".[23] It peaked at number 15 on the weekly charts and charted for five weeks.[24]
Linkage (2008–2010)[edit]
In 2008, Kawada released "PSI-Missing" and "Masterpiece", which were used as opening theme songs to the anime series A Certain Magical Index. The singles' B-sides, "Ame" (雨?, "Rain") and "Jellyfish" respectively, were also used as insert songs in the series.[25][26] In autumn 2008, Kawada opened her official website together with her official fan club "M.A.L.L." an acronym that stands for "Mami Artist Lasting Live".
In June 2009, Kawada released a single "L'Oiseau bleu",[27] which was originally included in the I've Sound 10th Anniversary 「Departed to the future」 Special CD BOX released on March 25, 2009.[28] Kawada also performed the opening and ending themes to the original video animation series of Shakugan no Shana, Shakugan no Shana S. The opening theme "Prophecy" was released on November 18, 2009.[29]
On March 24, 2010, Kawada released her third album Linkage.[30] containing the singles "PSI-Missing", "Masterpiece" and "Prophecy", as well as the ending theme to Shakugan no Shana S, "All in Good Time", and a cover of the song "Dreams", originally performed by the Irish rock band The Cranberries.[30] In the same year, she started writing lyrics for other I've singers, beginning with "Piece of My Heart", an insert song used in the eroge Koi to Senkyo to Chocolate, sung by Nami Maisaki.[2] Kawada also performed the game's opening theme "Initiative".[31]
Square the Circle (2010 to 2012)[edit]
In autumn 2010, Kawada performed the opening theme to the second season of A Certain Magical Index, "No Buts!", which eventually became her highest charting single to date, reaching number 6 in its first week in the Oricon weekly charts.[32][33]
On February 16, 2011, she released her 10th single "See Visions", the second opening theme to the second season of A Certain Magical Index.[34] Four months later, she wrote the lyrics for the song "Lead to the Smile", the solo debut of I've singer Rin Asami, who started her career that year.[2] She also performed the second opening theme to the third season of Shakugan no Shana, "Serment", which was released on February 1, 2012.[35] She also performed the song "U/N" which served as the ending theme of episode 15 of Shakugan no Shana Final as well as that series' final ending theme "Kōbō" (光芒?, "Beam of Light").[36] Later, she released the single "Borderland", which served as the opening theme to the anime TV series Jormungand, on May 29, 2012.[37] She released a new album titled Square the Circle on August 8, 2012.[38]
Mami Kawada Best Birth (2013 to present)[edit]
Kawada released a greatest hits album titled Mami Kawada Best: Birth on her birthday, February 13, 2013,[39] which includes all of her singles except for "Prophecy".[39] It also includes "Fixed Star", the ending theme to the movie Toaru Majutsu no Index: Endyumion no Kiseki.[39] The album peaked at number 4 on the Oricon daily charts and at 15 on the Oricon weekly charts.[40] "Fixed Star" was released as a single on February 20, 2013.[41] She performed the song "Snap Out of It!!" together with Maon Kurosaki, which was released on the music collection Toaru Majutsu no TV Songs released on August 28, 2013.[42] Kawada released the single "Break a Spell", which serves as the second ending theme to the anime TV series Tokyo Ravens, on February 26, 2014.[43][44]
Kawada made an appearance at the Bangkok Comic Con in Bangkok, Thailand in July 2014,[45] and the Animao Anime Music Festival event in Shanghai, China in November 2014.[46] She performed the song "belief" which is used in the 2014 video game Dengeki Bunko Fighting Climax.[47]
Musical style and influences[edit]
Kawada's musical style mainly fuses rock with trance.[22] When Kawada debuted in 2001, she originally felt that the music she earned in her career was pocket money. She also felt happy that she could be based in Sapporo where she could be close to her family and friends, as well as to I've Sound whom she felt was like a second family to her. After Kotoko made her major debut in 2004, I've Sound management began discussing the possibility of Kawada making a major debut. At first, she was a bit hesitant, because she felt that she would be thrust into the spotlight, but eventually she accepted the idea. For the first ten years of her career, she always felt that she was a beginner, but this began to change when younger singers made their debuts and began to treat her as an older sister.[3]
In an interview with Famitsu, Kawada related her experience writing the lyrics for "Joint". Kawada said that she was challenged in writing lyrics for the song, since her previous single "Get My Way" was different from her previous singles. Kawada would read the source material of every anime before writing lyrics for its theme songs. She named the song "Joint" because of Shana II 's theme of characters Shana and Yūji Sakai fighting together.[22][48] In response to comments that the expressions in her voice were very varied, Kawada stated that she simply sings with the music in the way that she most enjoys.[49]
Kawada's primary producer was I've producer Tomoyuki Nakazawa, who produced "Radiance" as well as her first three albums. Nakazawa also came up with each album's concept and title.[50] However, in 2010, Kawada began to cooperate more with other producers. She also began working more in Tokyo. When producing Square the Circle, Nakazawa asked Kawada what sort of album and what sort of songs did she want. Kawada said that she wanted an album whose songs would be reminiscent of her visual image and stage persona, as opposed to her private self.[51]
Kawada's favorite artist is Alanis Morissette.[52]

On December 6, 2012, Zacks Investment Research upgraded Merit Medical Systems Inc. ( MMSI ) to a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy). Why the Upgrade? Merit Medical has watched most of its earnings estimates move higher on the back of solid third quarter performance and accretive acquisitions. Moreover, this provider of disposable medical devices has delivered positive earnings surprises in 3 of the last 4 quarters with an average beat of 10.6%. The long-term expected earnings growth rate for this stock is 11.6%. On October 25, 2012, Merit Medical reported third quarter adjusted earnings per share of 20 cents, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 17.6% and the year-ago earnings by 11.1%. Despite a seasonal slowdown, the company witnessed growth across all operating platforms. In addition, Merit Medical reported significant margin expansion on the heels of higher production efficiency and favorable product mix. Moreover, Merit Medical resorts to inorganic growth to expand its operations. On December 20, 2012, the company closed the acquisition of Thomas Medical Products from GE Healthcare, a division of General Electric ( GE ). This was Merit Medical's second acquisition in two months, the first being the acquisition of Medigroup's assets in November. The buyouts are expected to be immediately accretive to the company's adjusted net earnings. Merit Medical pursues an aggressive strategy of new product development. It recently gained the clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for its One Snare Endovascular Snare System. Moving forward, the company's three-pronged strategy of innovation, selective acquisitions and domestic expansion is likely to reap positive results in the future as well. While the Zacks Consensus Estimate for 2012 stood at 76 cents over the last 30 days, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for 2013 rose 3.5% over the same time frame to 89 cents. Other Stocks to Consider Other notable medical devices stocks with favorable Zacks Rank are Given Imaging Ltd. ( GIVN ) and Thoratec Corp ( THOR ), each carrying a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy).

Austin's Precautionary Burn Ban May Become Permanent
Andrew Nagy
Posted: October 24, 2011
in Austin, Texas, took steps last Thursday to extend the temporary burn
ban passed there in April into an injunction that would permanently
eliminate smoking in the city's parks and some of its golf courses.
Austin City Council unanimously passed a resolution asking City Manager
Marc Ott to draft an ordinance that prohibits smoking in the city's
Parks and Recreation sites, which includes 251 parks, public pools and
some golf courses. For Ott's draft to become a law, though, the Parks
and Recreation Department must first approve and amend it, and City
Council must then vote to adopt the final document.
park smoking bans are not that unusual (534 cities, 29 of which are in
Texas, already have smoke-free parks), but what could distinguish
Austin's ban from those in other cities is it would the first to stem
from a burn ban.
County, where Austin is located, has been enduring terrible drought
conditions since last year and has been under a burn ban since December
14, 2010, according to the county Fire Marshal's office. Essentially,
the burn ban prohibits any combustible material—fireworks, barbecues,
cigarettes and cigars—that could spark a forest fire from being used
within the city's Park and Recreation sites.
seemingly dubious manner in which a precautionary burn order may evolve
into a permanent smoking ban has caught the eye of smoking ban
to impactnews.com, a representative from the Austin Golf Advisory Group
named Delano Womack addressed the Council on Thursday to explain that
cigar smoking often takes place on a golf course. While Council members
did not immediately strike golf courses from the resolution, a few
agreed that they may fall into some sort of middle ground, and so a note
was added that ensured the Golf Advisory Group would be able to look
over any wording associated with golf courses in Ott's draft.
Loope, executive director of the Cigar Rights of America, added: "While
we sympathize with the situation the weather has caused, creating very
dry conditions and hence making smoking or a family barbecue hazardous
at times in local parks, it is obvious City Council is using the weather
as a cloak for the public health agenda."
says the CRA also will be sending the Council a copy of an editorial by
Dr. Michael Siegel of the Boston University School of Public Health
that states there is questionable scientific validity to outdoor smoking
bans. The editorial, according to Loope, also states that city park
bans like the one Austin is proposing "may actually increase exposure by
creating smoke-filled areas near park entrances that cannot be

The country would through the state-owned development bank Kreditanstalt fuer Wiederaufbau buy a 7.5 percent stake held by Daimler and as much as 4.5 percent of the shares owned by the Dedalus group of private banks, according to FTD. The purchase would let Germany match France's 15 percent stake, FTD said.

Former FRINGE star Seth Gabel is set to join ARROW as super-villain Vertigo, TVLine reported this evening.
However, fan boys shouldn't rejoice just yet - The CW announced that their interpretation of the classic enemy will be a bit different than the comic's. Not only will he not be referred to as Vertigo, he will neither be the Vlatavan count - though his classic powers of disorienting his enemies are rumored to remain the same. Gabel's first episode is set to air in early 2013.
ARROW scored a bull's-eye for The CW with its premiere, which drew 4.14 million viewers, making it the network's most watched telecast of any show, on any night, in three years. The ARROW debut also marked The CW's most watched series premiere since THE VAMPIRE DIARIES in 2009. In its second outing, ARROW became the only new network drama this season to maintain its audience in both adults 18-34 and adults 18-49 from its premiere to its second week.
ARROW is produced by Bonanza Productions Inc. in association with Berlanti Productions and Warner Bros. Television with executive producers Greg Berlanti, Marc Guggenheim and Andrew Kreisberg.
