Light Heavyweight Otis Griffin is looking to bounce back into the big time with a win over the highly rated and former IBF champion Jeff Left Hook Lacy in Florida on the 10th April. Griffin has joined forces with newly formed Talon Boxing Management which consists of Keith Allen and John Tandy who is best known for resurrecting the career of other light heavyweight title contender Yusaf Mack.. Griffin is training up in Lake Arrowhead, California at high altitude and knows this is the fight that could launch him back into the big time. Griffin previously won the Oscar De La Hoyas reality television show The next great champ then won the NABO title against previously undefeated Mike Nevitt, since then he has not been able to capitalise on the success, he took a late notice fight against Danny Green in Australia, and then was badly weight drained in the loss to other reality star Jesse Brinkley. Griffin then returned back to light heavyweight to defeat journeyman Carl Cockerham before heading out to Germany and giving away over 20lbs by the time of the fight losing out to German cruiserweight Enad Licina. Now he returns fitter and stronger than ever and ready to make a statement, the bout is set at 173lbs which favours him, being the bigger man. In regard to the fight Griffin is quoted in saying I am the Cinderella man and Lacy is going to be my Corn Griffin, for the first time I have had a perfect camp, my preparation at John Tandys high altitude camp has been excellent, I have had great spearing at the Wild Card in LA, with the like of Vanes Martirosyan and in camp with top middleweight prospect Brandon Gonzalas, both guys are much faster than Jeff is going to be, apparently Jeff is already talking about a potential date with Roy Jones, looking past me is a mistake. New coach John Tandy has been impressed with Griffins work ethic and ability to follow instructions, as always I have a game plan for the fight and as long as Otis doesnt get caught with anything silly and follows the plan we have been working on I am more than confident he will come out on top in this one.

Nokia Lumia 635 review
Processor: Quad-core 1.2GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 400, Screen size: 4.5in, Screen resolution: 480x854, Rear camera: 5-megapixel, Storage: 8GB, Wireless data: 4G, 3G, Size: 129x66x9.2mm, Weight: 134g, Operating system: Windows Phone 8.1
The Nokia Lumia 635 is the 4G version of the Lumia 630. It may not seem like it at first, as both phones look almost exactly the same. Both have a 4.5in screen with a 480x854 resolution, a quad-core 1.2GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 processor, a rear 5-megapixel camera, and both run Windows Phone 8.1. The key cosmetic difference lies in the Lumia 635's glossy outer shell, which helps distinguish it from its cheaper matt cousin.
However, the Lumia 635 isn't simply a 4G carbon copy of the Lumia 630 with a different case, as our tests revealed a few crucial variations between each handset.
The biggest difference was the quality and brightness of the screen. While the Lumia 630's peak brightness measured 318.74cd/m2, the Lumia 635 measured much higher at 380.79cd.m2. It doesn't seem like a huge jump on paper, but when we held each phone side by side, our test images were noticeably brighter on the Lumia 635. This meant colours had a bit more punch and whites looked much cleaner. The Lumia 630, by comparison, had cooler whites that were tinged with blue. On the upside, the Lumia 630's lower brightness level did mean that blacks were slightly deeper, measuring 0.35cd/m2 as opposed to 0.47cd/m2 on the Lumia 635.
The Lumia 630's screen also produced more accurate colours, as our colour calibrator showed it was displaying 85 per cent of the sRGB colour gamut. The Lumia 635, on the other hand, was only showing 83 per cent. This is still good for a budget phone, but our colour gamuts revealed the Lumia 635's main area of weakness was its blues and cyans. Magenta was slightly stronger, though, and we could see this difference onscreen, as colours looked a fraction more purple on the Lumia 635 than they did on the Lumia 630. It's a very small difference, though, and one that can be easily adjusted using the Display options in the main Settings menu. Our results were based off each phone's default settings, but the advanced colour profile, for example, gives you control over the colour temperature, tint and colour saturation of the screen.
The Lumia 630's contrast levels were also higher, measuring 894:1 whereas the Lumia 635 measured 807:1. This didn't make too much of a difference in practice, as the Lumia 635's extra brightness helped illuminate deeper areas of shadow in our test images to help put both phones on a more equal playing field.
Since the Lumia 635 has a higher default brightness, this also had an adverse effect on the phone's battery life. In our continuous video playback test, it lasted 10 hours and 18 minutes. This is over 90 minutes less than the Lumia 630, which lasted 12 hours and 3 minutes. You should still be able to get a day's use out of the Lumia 635, but it's likely to require charging more frequently in the long term than the Lumia 630.
Fortunately, web browsing performance was largely identical on each phone. The Lumia 630 scored 1,443ms in our SunSpider JavaScript benchmarks while the Lumia 635 scored 1,458ms, but both phones were equally quick when scrolling up and down The Guardian's home page. We saw very few signs of stutter and swiping around the touchscreen was responsive even while images were still loading.
The same goes for the Lumia 635's camera, which produced photos with identical image quality to the Lumia 630. Read our full Nokia Lumia 630 review for a more in-depth look at the camera's picture quality as well as what you can do with the Nokia Camera app.
The Nokia Lumia 630 (left) is a fraction warmer than the Lumia 635 (right), but both phones show an equal amount of detail
The Nokia Lumia 635 is a great value 4G Windows phone, but its shorter battery life than its 3G counterpart may be a bit of a deal-breaker for those hoping to get all the benefits of the Lumia 630 with faster data speeds. We're big fans of both phones, but if 4G isn't a priority, we'd stick with the Lumia 630.

The 54th Annual Grammy Awards are upon us, and we'd like to take a moment to wish Fleet Foxes all the best on their Best Folk Album nomination for 2011′s sublime Helplessness Blues.

Veronica Falls // new track 'My Heart Beats'
Veronica Falls have shared new jam 'My Heart Beats'. Recorded with Rory Brattwell on a freezing boat on the Thames last week, it is beautiful, soaring, anthemic, propulsive but, as is always the way with Veronica Falls, packs a dark punch at its heart. It represents a tantalising taste of things to come for the band, as it is the first preview of brand new recordings since the debut.

Bella Union's 15th Birthday x End of the Road
2012 sees Bella Union reach the grand old age of 15… To celebrate this particular milestone we have various activities being planned, foremost of which will be curating and hosting our own Bella Union day at this year's End Of The Road festival on Friday 31st August.
The line-up is by no means finalised as yet, but many of our finest acts have already been confirmed to appear, all of whom collectively showcase the eclectic musical taste of what has over past 15 years become one of the UK's best-loved and most celebrated labels. Acts appearing on the 31st August include the below:
Alessi's Ark : Beach House : Cashier No. 9 : Dirty Three : Hannah Cohen : I Break Horses : John Grant : Jonathan Wilson : Lanterns On The Lake : The Low Anthem : Midlake : Mountain Man : Our Broken Garden : Roy Harper : Veronica Falls
A few words from Bella Union's founder and label boss Simon Raymonde on celebrating our 15th Anniversary with the End Of The Road festival:
"Bella Union and End of The Road Festival have so much in common, most notably our taste in bands, and having had several bands over the last 5 years who have headlined there, like Fleet Foxes, Explosions In The Sky, and Midlake, all of whom loved every minute, it seemed that when discussing what we should do for our 15th Anniversary a conversation with them was a good starting point. The outcome is something very special and this will be the pinnacle of our anniversary celebrations throughout 2012."
More acts will be announced soon!
Watch: M. Ward – The First Time I Ran Away

Introducing… Father John Misty
Father John Misty
We'd like to introduce you to Father John Misty, the new project from Josh Tillman. Bella Union will release the album, 'Fear Fun', on April 30th 2012.
When discussing 'Father John Misty', Tillman paraphrases Philip Roth: 'It's all of me and none of me, if you can't see that, you won't get it'. What I call it is totally arbitrary, but I like the name. You've got to have a name. I never got to choose mine."
He goes on, "'People who make records are afforded this assumption by the culture that their music is coming from an exclusively personal place, but more often than not what you hear are actually the affectations of an 'alter-ego' or a cartoon of an emotionally heightened persona," says Josh Tillman, who has been recording/releasing solo albums since 2003 and who recently left Seattle's Fleet Foxes after playing drums from 2008-2011. "That kind of emotional quotient isn't sustainable if your concern is portraying a human-being made up of more than just chest-beating pathos. I see a lot of rampant, sexless, male-fantasy everywhere in the music around me. I didn't want any alter-egos, any vagaries, fantasy, escapism, any over-wrought sentimentality. I like humor and sex and mischief. So when you think about it, it's kind of mischievous to write about yourself in a plain-spoken, kind of explicitly obvious way and call it something like 'Misty'. I mean, I may as well have called it 'Steve'."

You Can Now Book a Room at The 1 Hotel South Beach for March 1
The former Roney Plaza/Gansevoort South/The Perry Hotel in Miami is almost finished with its $100 million renovation to turn into the naturally glam 1 Hotel South Beach, but you can reserve a room today for stays starting on March 1.
Not surprisingly for a luxury hotel in season in Miami Beach, the rooms are ridiculously expensive, with a king room going for $665 a night. Want a balcony with your room? That will be $712 a night. Prefer an ocean view? That will be $855 a night.
But we have to admit, these are some seriously good-looking rooms. Gone is the high-sheen of The Gansevoort and in its place is a eco-luxe look with reclaimed wood on the walls, natural poured concrete in the floors, overstuffed pillow on the couches, and peekaboo bathrooms. Don't forget, Chef Tom Colicchio is opening his restaurant downstairs while upstairs is a pool deck with similarly eco-luxe style cabanas and seating.

What is The Washington Park Hotel in Miami All About? We're About to Find Out
Up in New York, it's been sort of a hotel marketing trend to present the hotel as a mysterious, manly-named place with as few details as possible, like Paul. Down in Miami, the same sort of awareness/unawareness ploy is going on with Washington Park Hotel. except this time, the hotel is looks like a lady.
The Washington Park Hotel is set to open in early 2015 at 11th and Washington Avenues. Judging from its website, the hotel looks like a pretty place to hang out. (Indeed, there's a picture of two lady surfers.) But other than its pretty and feminine style, including a floral entwined logo, there's not much we know about the hotel. At least not on its website.
Like any good millennial hotel, the WPH does have aFacebook page but there's not much else there either, except for a mention about their upcoming curated cocktails, which is pretty par for the course in Miami. However, there is a sexy side to the hotel. Like, literally, a sexy side as the hotel shares the space withis on the same block as The World Erotic Art Museum as well as a propaganda museum.
More details on the hotel, such as how many rooms, photos, amenities, services, etc, should be coming soon. But you know they already had us at "erotic art museum."

Don't Forget About The Hyatt South Beach, Opening This Spring
We've been so dazzled by the new big name hotels opening in Miami over the next few months--Thompson, Edition, Sixty, Aloft and AC Hotels to name a few--it's been hard to keep up with all the others. But we've been doing our best, dishing what we know so far on hotels like The Gale Suites and Villa Bagatelle. And now we've got an update on the forthcoming Hyatt South Beach.
Even though we once hoped this hotel would be an Andaz, it is still going ahead as a Hyatt hotel, the first such branded hotel for Hyatt in South Beach (there's a Hyatt Regency in downtown Miami.)

The St. Regis Bal Harbour Has a New Cabana Designed By Miami's Hot Shop, The Webster
Winter season is practically here and that has us thinking of another kind of season, one where no puffy coats are needed--hotel cabana season.
Kicking off the season of private poolside enclaves is the St. Regis Bal Harbour in Miami, who has partnered with the high-end fashion boutique The Webster to create a special Webster Cabana for the hotel. Conveniently, The Webster has a store in the Shops at Bal Harbour.
You may also remember The Webster from their summer collection for Target. Now, Laure Heriard Dubreuil, CEO and Co-Founder of The Webster, has filled the 600-sq.ft. St. Regis cabana with her signature style, which is "Luxe Miami" all the way.
The cabana reflects The Webster�s love of color and print with striking interior features including The Webster�s signature patterned wallpaper, rattan furniture by Paul Frankl covered in a lively floral print and a custom coffee table topped with turquoise glass.
Additional design elements inside the space include a bar accessorized with Webster candles, Murano glass pieces and other unique items curated by Laure. Perfectly complementing the cabana�s interior, pink and brown lounge chairs, which are situated next to a dining table with chairs covered in the same playful color combination, will be enjoyed while relaxing on The Webster Cabana�s outdoor terrace.

Bagatelle, a Restaurant Brand, Will Try Their Hand at The Hotel Biz in Miami
Bagatelle, a popular restaurant brand that originated in NYC's Meatpacking District before expanding to Sao Paolo, St. Tropez and St. Barth (with a brief stint in Las Vegas), is now heading to Miami Beach. But instead of opening another hot restaurant or beach club, owners Aymeric Clemente and Remi Laba are opening a restaurant + hotel + pool club, called Villa Bagatelle.
Located at 21st and Collins in the current Boulan Hotel, Villa Bagatelle will take about 18 months to fully open. The first phase of the renovation is happening now, with a cosmetic touch-up of the hotel's common areas and guest rooms. The rooms are actually all suites and have at least one bedroom with a deluxe Tempur-Pedic bed, a fully equipped epicurean kitchen with dining areas, living room with queen-bedded sofa bed, and oversized marble spa-inspired bathroom. Some suites have private terraces with either views of downtown or the ocean.
The second renovation phase will transform the rooftop pool deck into a "complete Bagatelle St. Tropez experience" with a full service food and beverage concept. The courtyard at the hotel will also transform in to The Bagatelle Gardens where guests can enjoy breakfast, light lunch, dinner, coffee and cocktails. Is that Bagatelle enough for you?
You can actually stay at the hotel now, although the Villa Bagatelle branding is not complete. Rates start around $379 a night but we found a suite king in a few weeks for $289 a night.

Snag a Beach Swag Bag With Your Room When The Thompson Miami Beach Opens on November 21
Last we checked, the Thompson Miami Beach was opening on November 14 but that opening date has been moved just a little bit back to November 21. However, the hotel is now offering a special opening package that starts at $399 a night, based on double occupancy, and includes the following:
· Minimum two-night stay in plush accommodations
· Daily breakfast for two at Seagrape, the restaurant from Miami's own Michelle Bernstein
· Signature welcome cocktails for two
· Beach swag bag with Coola sunscreen products, including body sunscreen, facial sunscreen and moisturizing lip balm
· Admission for two to Perez Art Museum Miami, so you can get a jump start on all the Art Basel festivities.

'Jane The Virgin' Actually Takes Place at This Hotel
The new TV show, "Jane The Virgin" is not just the answer to the prayers of "Ugly Betty" fans, who have been in mourning since the show went off the air a few years ago. "Jane The Virgin" is also extremely clever and funny, yet unabashedly apologetic about its soapy premise.
That premise involves Jane, a virgin who's about to get engaged, getting accidentally inseminated by a distracted gynecologist, who just happened to use her brother's last surviving sperm which he had frozen before his chemotherapy treatment. (It's the brother of the gynecologist, not Jane's. No one is ready to see a show about accidental incest. No one.)
Further complicating matters is that Jane happens to work for the brother, named Rafael, and they even shared a kiss once upon a time. Obviously, her fianc�e is not pleased. About the baby and about her job working for the baby's daddy.
Meanwhile, Jane's mom, a wannabe singer, has recently been in bed, er, in touch with Jane's father, who Jane has never known about. And Jane's father just happens to be a big time novella star of a show that Jane is addicted to watching. Ay, Yi, Yi!
But for us hotel nerds, we like a different kind of drama in play on, and off, the show.

An All-Suite Extension of Miami's Hot Spot, The Gale, Will Open in December
We've already given you 5 hotels to put on your radar when planning a trip to Miami Beach this winter but we don't call it Miami Hotel Mambo for nothing. Hotels be opening left and right in this loca caliente city. And here's another one.
The Gale Suites at Kaskades is an extension of the extremely popular Gale Hotel South Beach on Collins Avenue. The Gale Suites won't actually be adjacent to The Gale but they will be close by, located in a building behind The Gale on 17th Street. (The hotel says its only 10 steps away.)

Pack Your Designer Carry-on Bags: Edition Miami Beach Will Now Open on November 10
After what feels like years of waiting, you can now officially book a room for November 10 at the Edition Miami Beach. And if you use corporate/promotional code ISS, you can stay on opening night for $250 a night, compared to the regular rate of $430 a night.
There is a $25 resort fee, per day, that includes beach chair service, beach towels, Internet access, bike rental and "more." A resort fee is never fun but it is actually very common for South Beach hotels
Nevertheless, after we fell head over heels in love with Edition London, we've been anxiously awaiting its Miami Beach sister. The 294-room hotel from hotelier Ian Schrager and Marriott Hotels was designed by architects George Yabu and Glenn Pushelber, along with landscape designer Madison Cox. While the guest rooms will be luxurious in an understated, frill-free way, the rest of the resort will be very turnt up.

W Hotels Are 'Hooker Havens', Alleges New Lawsuit Against Starwood
Someone mentions "hooker havens" and we're all ears.
A South Jersey couple filed a personal injury lawsuit against Starwood Hotels & Resorts last year after the woman half of the couple was attacked in the lobby of the W South Beach by a bunch of drunken prostitutes who thought she was creeping on their turf. The woman's face was slammed into a stone wall, then she was thrown to the ground (a marble floor.) They are asking for $75,000 in damages.
There was a little bit of a legal tussle after the suit was filed with a judge denying a request of venue change as well as sealing some documents but a few things have been leaked out, namely this "discovery"--the couple hired undercover investigators to "infiltrate W hotels across the country" and those investigators found that W Hotels are "hooker havens." Here's why, according to a recent court filing which was posted on Philly.com:
"These agents engaged Starwood and W Hotels employees who openly, and without hesitation, procured the services of prostitutes for the agents," the filing said.
"When asked about getting caught and being prosecuted by law enforcement, the employees reassured the agents there was no risk of discovery.
"Starwood and W Hotel employees enticed the agents by sending them provocative pictures of prostitutes able to service them at W Hotels. . . . At one such W Hotel, a prostitute used the concierge desk to charge her cellphones and store her purse."
That sounds bad but then it gets worse.

The W South Beach Just Unveiled A Hotel Wedding Package to End All Other Hotel Wedding Packages
We thought yesterday's story about the resort that wants you to take the honeymoon suite home with you was pretty insane, but the W South Beach has come up with the most ridiculuxe hotel wedding extravaganza that we have ever heard of--The Million Dollar Wedding Package.
Before we go any further, allow us to answer the question that's just about to come rushing out of your mouths--Yes, the wedding costs a million dollars. Actually, according to the hotel rep, it's a little over a million dollars. Alright, now with that out of the way, here's what a million dollar W Hotel wedding includes and how much each items costs. Emphasis is ours but if we had our way, we'd really just bold the whole darn package, all the way to the bottom.

Miami's Shore Club is Joining the Condotel Club
We don't call it Miami Hotel Mambo for nothing.
Today, we discovered that the beachfront party spot that is The Shore Club will move into a condotel operation. Yup, the dreaded condotels, once all the rage in the pre-recession era, are back. GROAN.
The Real Deal reports that the hotel's new owners, HFZ Capital Group, who acquired the property late last year, are splitting the hotel into 85 luxury residences and 100 hotel rooms. Currently, the historic hotel has 309 hotel rooms.
Word is the residences will start to go up for sale in early December, just when all the moneyed art collectors arrive in town for Art Basel. However, if you're keen to reserve a spot, limited reservations will open next month.
What's crazier than someone attempting the condotel operation again is the fact that neither HFZ Capital nor their sales agents, Douglas Elliman, have released any info on how these luxury residences are to come about. There are no renderings, no construction plans, no nada. But whenever this "transformation" happens, just know that the Shore Club will never again be the same. Fingers crossed, the condotel thing works out for them.

Mel Gibson Accused Of Murder/Suicide Plot
RadarOnline is reporting that they have received all the details that Oksana Grigorieva gave authorities regarding the domestic violence case against Mel Gibson. For anyone who thought this story couldn't get worse, you were wrong. Did Mel Gibson Abuse Oksana Grigorieva?
The fight that took place on January 6 between the couple was much more violent than we knew. Apparently, after Mel punched Oksana twice in the head, she fell to the bed and he began choking her with his forearm—while she was holding their baby daughter Lucia. After Oksana got loose from Mel's grasp, he allegedly pulled out a gun and threatened to kill her, the children (Lucia and Oksana's 12-year-old son Sascha, who was in another room) and himself.
'Mel punched her in the mouth and then again in the side of the head,' the source told RadarOnline.com.
She was holding Lucia and the force of the punches caused her to fall backwards onto the bed. Mel placed one of his forearms into Oksana's neck and began choking her. He took his free hand and pushed it over her mouth and she struggled to breathe. She struggled and begged him to stop...
Oksana finally was freed from Mel's grip and jumped up to leave but she says Mel then pulled a gun from the pocket of his short, pointed it at her head and threatened to kill her, Lucia and Sascha, as well as himself, in an apparent murder-suicide plot...Somehow, however, Oksana was able to run out of the house, wearing her pajamas and barefoot, with Lucia and Sascha. After Oksana fled, Mel called her repeatedly and threatened her. Investigators will be looking at those phone records. [Source: RadarOnline]
Sascha, who was reportedly "scared to death" in another room during the entire incident, was interviewed by child protective services last week and is expected to be a key witness.

Highlights of the Four Nations match between Australia & Samoa
Rugby League is today mourning the tragic loss of Jon Mannah, who passed away after an ongoing battle with Hodgkin's Lymphoma.
The younger brother of Eels and NSW prop Tim Mannah, Jon was admired throughout the game for his courage, integrity and positive attitude.
A Guildford junior and a member of Parramatta's inaugural Toyota Cup side in 2008, Jon made his NRL debut for Cronulla in 2009 but later that year was diagnosed with Hodgkin's Lymphoma.
Such was his fighting spirit, Jon returned to the NRL in 2011 before again having to resume his cancer battle.
"Jon's courage and determination has been a source of inspiration for everyone in Rugby League," NRL Interim Chief Executive, Mr Shane Mattiske, said today.

Actor Charlie Sheen lost his temper at a Kings game Wednesday night.
Sheen became angry after a female security guard would not let him re-enter the Staples Center after taking a smoking break.
The actor's friends tried to guard Sheen's outburst from cameras, but the incident was caught on video.
"Have common sense and common courtesy gone in society? That was what I was trying to impress upon her," Sheen said.
Prior to the game, Sheen was taunted by fans who yelled jokes and outrageous comments tied to Sheen's past rebellious behavior.

JaelMeaning: mountain-goat The wife of Heber the Kenite (Judg. 4:17-22) was named "Jael." When the Canaanites were defeated by Barak, Sisera, the captain of Jabin's army, fled and sought refuge with the friendly tribe of Heber, beneath the oaks of Zaanaim. As he drew near, Jael invited him to enter her tent. He did so, and as he lay wearied on the floor he fell into a deep sleep. She then took in her left hand one of the great wooden pins ("nail") which fastened down the cords of the tent, and in her right hand the mallet, or "hammer," used for driving it into the ground, and stealthily approaching her sleeping guest, with one well-directed blow drove the nail through his temples into the earth (Judg. 5:27). She then led Barak, who was in pursuit, into her tent, and boastfully showed him what she had done. ALSO SEE: |

Having a reliable external hard drive is fundamental to a good backup and archival storage strategy.
But deciding which drive is best-suited to your needs can be mind-boggling. Speed, capacity, overall size, and price are all important factors in the final choice. And then there are the intangibles. Are you going for the latest designer shape and color?
Lounge member John Juergens is simply looking for something reliable, simple, and relatively inexpensive. In his thread, "External hard drives for backup images," he's concerned about reports that the drive he already purchased might not be up to thejob. His fellow Loungers weigh in with their learned perspectives on purchasing backup drives. More»

Married To ADD: 7 Difficulties To Expect
1. A sense of rejection. Individuals with ADD may often be distracted and find it difficult to pay attention to their partner. This may lead you to feel neglected or it may be interpreted as disinterest on the part of your spouse.
2. Loneliness. If your partner seems disinterested in what you are saying or appears to ignore you, it would be easy to understand that one might feel lonely.
3. Feeling ignored. Partners of individuals with ADD often get the feeling that all their good advice and suggestions are not taken to heart. This may cause the non - ADD partner to feel ignored, disrespected or offended.
4. Frustration. The same kinds of problems keep presenting themselves over and over again. It is difficult to understand how you can have discussions around a problem, think that you are being understood and still the same problem persists.
5. Anger. Resentment and anger become pervasive when one feels disregarded, disrespected, ignored and often alone in the relationship. Some spouses will become irate and scream at their partner, while others will shut down and block all emotions. This will leave a partner in the cold. Either way, one can see how this pattern becomes increasingly destructive.
6. Exhaustion. As the non-ADD spouse tries to compensate for the lack of equal sharing or follow through in responsibilities, you can often feel depleted. As if no amount of effort seems to resolve these same issues that continue to plague your marriage. I Have An Open Marriage [VIDEO]
Due to the inconsistency in your spouse's ability to follow through and remember to do things, the feelings of being burdened with more of your fair share of responsibilities can create more feelings of stress.

Just up the road, about 30-miles from me, a man I consider a friend, and a hero, lost his wife and a deputy to a couple of scumbags. The man is Johnny McDaniel, "Johnny Mac" to the locals here. He's the Sheriff of Jackson County, Florida. His wife, Mellie, was returning home from the grocery store when she was murdered.
Mrs. McDaniel was on the phone with her husband when she pulled into the driveway of their home in Marianna, Florida last week. She had advised him she had been followed home, and he'd summoned backup. Story is, Sheriff McDaniel heard his wife's screams, and the gunshots that killed her, on the radio phone they were using. Immediately after this, Jackson County Deputy Michael Altman arrived, and he too, was shot dead.
When Sheriff McDaniel arrived, he also came under fire. Two deputies that arrived immediately after him killed the two scumbags with a hail of automatic weapons fire. They too, are heroes.
The funerals were Saturday. I was in Marianna, and the entire community is just sad. Deflated. Like the wind has been knocked out of the whole town.
This is a modern day horror story. It's summarized, but it's true--it's also a story I wish that never happened, something never to be shared.
If you're so inclined, please say a prayer for Johnny McDaniel and his family. Also for Deputy Micheal Altman and his. A kind word for a deeply shaken community wouldn't hurt either.

Seventy years have passed since Adolf Hitler was appointed Chancellor, and in the intervening years a vast amount has been written on the origins and nature of the Third Reich. The years from 1933 to 1945 cast such a grim shadow that the moral, ethical and religious elements embedded in the narrative are such that the subject sill resists treatment as part of a historical past. Fierce debates still rage over both the how and why of these terrible events. In this… (more)

Spud Sunday: The Highly Spirited Spud
Quite some months after the fact, I reckoned that it was high time to bring to the 'net my visit to the Prince Edward Distillery on Canada's Prince Edward Island.
Though the distillery was not on my official Canadian Tourism Commission itinerary – through whose good offices I had gotten to PEI in the first place – my ever genial and accommodating PEI guide, Grant, kindly acceded to my hopeful requests and – despite a lot of miles and a lack of time – got me to the distillery on the last day of my visit to the island, where I met the delightful Julie Shore, craft distiller and one half of the couple behind the production of Canada's first potato vodka.
18lbs of potatoes in one bottle. Weighty stuff, this potato vodka.
Julie Shore was talking me through the process of making potato vodka at the small Prince Edward Distillery that she established in 2008 with her partner Arla Johnson in Hermanville, in the north east of the island. "Our distillery is about distilling the agriculture here on PEI," said Julie, "and the number one crop is potatoes. That being said, potatoes are the hardest thing to distill – a potato is 80% water, so it takes a lot of potatoes to make a bottle of vodka. My colleagues look at me like I'm crazy to do it."
Spud Sunday: Six Years On
After some considerable hiatus – blame life, blame whatever distractions you like – there could be no better day on which to return than on this, my sixth blog birthday.
On exactly this day six years ago – and a Sunday it was too – I found a spud in my garden and – who'da thought – a voice to go with it. Since then, I have passed through one potato, two potato, three potato, four, moved through five potato, six potato, and, with any luck, there will, in the future, be seven potato, more.
The potato – a complex carbohydrate for sure.
That was how Pádraic Óg Gallagher introduced proceedings at an event in Gallagher's Boxty House to mark the launch of last Friday's National Potato Day. He's not wrong, either – if six years of writing about the potato has taught me anything, it is that there is a great deal more to the spud than meets the eye.
Spud Sunday: 50 Ways To Say Potato
So, having spent the last few (admittedly sporadic) posts waxing lyrical on the spuds of Prince Edward Island – a subject with which, I must admit, I'm not quite done yet – it has finally come time to shift focus closer to home – namely to Stradbally in Co. Laois, which plays host to the Electric Picnic this weekend.
Though music may be the big draw for the festival, wander down to the Mindfield area and you'll find the Theatre of Food, with a diverse program of talks, demos, tastes and debates. And – for those Picnic enthusiasts who actually manage to arrive and get set up by that time – you can catch me (yes, me) opening the weekend's Theatre of Food proceedings on Friday 29th at 4.30pm with my own little Theatre of Spud, a talk MC'ed by food writer Aoife Carrigy.
I'll be looking at the place – or places, even – that the potato occupies in Irish food culture, from your Mammy's boiled spuds, to the devotion that inspires a collection of 200+ heritage varieties of potato, to the all important bread and butter layering of a crisp sandwich. I'll also be discussing just how many ways we Irish have of describing our potatoes (of which more below).
When I'm done with that, I'll be wandering off to check out what the Dublin Urban Farm crew are doing with their roving Thank Potato exhibition in the Picnic's Global Green area. Back in the Theatre of Food, on Sunday 31st at 12.30pm, I'll be on stage again, in the knowledgeable – to say nothing of opinionated – company of Ernie Whalley, Leslie Williams and Mei Chin, participating in what should be a tummy rumbling discussion on Food in Literature, moderated by Caroline Byrne.
It is, apparently, a matter of some debate as to whether Eskimo languages really have an unusually large number of words for snow, but it is an oft-quoted example when discussing how a language may reflect the environment in which it has developed. We use language to describe what surrounds and affects us, so it seems only natural that the ways in which a language is used to describe a given entity can tell us something of its cultural significance. So it is, I think, with the Irish language and potatoes.

Spud Sunday: A Spud's Museum
They say we produce the most potatoes per person in the world.
So Stanley MacDonald commented casually as we sat in the café at Prince Edward Island's potato museum, munching through cinnamon rolls (which, needless to remark, featured a little added potato in the dough). With 145,000 residents on PEI and a production of around 1.1 million tonnes annually, the assertion sounded perfectly plausible – an output of 7.5+ tonnes per person is a whole lot of spuds in anyone's book.
With production in such quantities and with potatoes such an integral part of island life, it's no great surprise that PEI should be home to a potato museum, one of the few in the world – reason enough for yours truly, and for the generally spud inclined, to visit. Head 'up west' to the community of O'Leary in the heart of PEI potato territory and you'll find it – a giant spud marks the spot.
Spud Sunday: Notes From A Spud Island
PEI, it's potato country here – it's a big part of who we are as an island, a big part of who we are as a culture
Kendra Mills, Marketing Director, PEI Potato Board
The first thing, the very first thing that Grant, my endlessly amiable guide did when I landed on Prince Edward Island – before lunch, before a cup of tea, even – was to whisk me off to the offices of the PEI Potato Board. He explained later that, while he had escorted many visitors around the island, each with their own agenda, I was the first he had encountered with quite such a singular focus on spuds. And I wondered – as a dedicated potatophile might – why that would be, for here on PEI – potato capital of Canada, Idaho of the north – there is an awful lot for the spud-minded to see.
Spud Sunday: Prince Edward Island
Well now, this post has been a long time coming. Having been sucked into the black hole that is house renovation, the Daily Spud has become closer to the monthly spud, while prospective posts have languished on the proverbial back burner. Now that I have acquired an actual back burner – along with the kitchen to go with it, and of which more anon – it's time to fire things up again. First stop PEI – Prince Edward Island – which, through the good offices of the Canadian Tourism Commission, I had the great pleasure of visiting back in May.
I reckon that the Irish settlers who came to PEI in the 1700s and 1800s – all 10,000 or more of them, according to the Irish Settlers' Memorial in PEI's capital, Charlottetown – probably felt at home. Or at least as at home as you can feel when you're several thousand miles away on the other side of the Atlantic.
Spud Sunday: Toronto & Chips
There are many things you might find yourself doing on a Saturday morning – being a guest, this past Saturday, of broadcasting legend Dave Fanning on his weekend radio show on RTE's 2FM was one of the less usual (and, as it turns out, more enjoyable) of those things. I was on the show to talk about these lads:
It was a topic prompted by this recent article in the Irish Independent (where I also managed to get my spake in) and, in turn, by no less than the recently held World Chip Championships in Limerick. Though it's unlike me to miss such a momentous spud event, I did get to meet chip enthusiast Lema Murphy – declared winner of the Champion-Chips with her triple cooked beauties, served with baked bean and bacon sauce and deep fried egg yolk – and who was also a guest on Dave's show. You can listen back to our chip chat on the RTE radio player, from about 1h 18m 30 in.
And if you were wondering how I could manage to miss such a thing as the World Chip Championships, it was owing to the fact that I was out of the country conducting some international chip investigations of my own…
It would be a slight exaggeration to say that I went all the way to Toronto just to have chips.
In fact (get me!) I travelled to Canada, through the good offices of the Canadian Tourism Commission, principally to visit Prince Edward Island, where they do a very good line in all things spud (and of which you'll hear more over the coming weeks). However, having taken the opportunity to visit Canada's biggest city – and ever keen to broaden my spud horizons – I did make a point of having chips (or fries, to use the local lingo) when I got there. Not just any old fries, though, but that particularly Canadian creation, poutine.

Spud Sunday: The Big Boxty
Gloriously big and gloriously bonkers.
That's what I thought when news reached my ears last Thursday that plans were afoot in Carrick on Shannon to break the record for the world's biggest (or rather, heaviest) potato pancake. I'll admit that I didn't know such a record officially existed (but, according to the Guinness Book of Records it does, covering all regional variations of potato pancake, of which there are many) and, up to last Friday at least, it had stood at a rather hefty 200kg – which is a lot of pancake in anyone's book.
The organisers of the Carrick Carnival – and chief among them Chef Sham Hanifa of the charming Cottage Restaurant in Jamestown, Co. Leitrim – decided that they wanted to go several kilos better than that by (as you do) making a supersized batch of boxty, Leitrim's local take on the potato pancake. Sham, in turn, enlisted the help of Mr. Leitrim Boxty himself, Pádraic Óg Gallagher of Gallagher's Boxty House, to assist in the construction of a true boxty behemoth.
And so it was that last Friday, I took myself off to the northwest and to a covered area beside the quay in Carrick on Shannon, where potatoes were being peeled, grated, mashed and mixed on a grand scale. This is how the record attempt went down.

We also discovered another reason to like Stewart Cink, as if there wasn't already enough to endear one to the game's most dedicated Twitterer, who 'tweeted' a photo of his exercise bike at the gym late afternoon Wednesday.
According to reports, on Tuesday, Cink picked up the tab for everyone who was eating lunch in the dining area at the time. The only thing missing were sips from the Claret Jug for the assembled loopers. Maybe next time.

We have had this tree for 3 or 4 years and are hoping that we can do something to cheer it up as it has started to look quite sad. It has only a few leaves and has some growths that look like cotton bud tips (brown colour). Until recently it was well and had plenty leaves and white flowers. We may have caused this problem by potting using some standard compost. We have just repotted using some proper bonsai potting soil but it still looks poorly. |

We Never Talk about My Brother"By Moonlight" by Peter S. Beagle was named Best Novelette at the 2010 Locus Awards. The novelette comes from the collection We Never Talk About My Brother Modern parables of love, death, and transformation are peppered with melancholy in this extraordinary collection of contemporary fantasy. Each short story cultivates a whimsical sense of imagination and reveals a mature, darker voice than previously experienced from this legendary author. In one tale the Angel of Death enjoys newfound celebrity while moonlighting as an anchorman on the network news, while in another the shortsighted ruler of a gentle realm betrays himself in dreaming of a "manageable war." Further storylines include an American librarian who discovers that, much to his surprise and sadness, he is the last living Frenchman, and rivals in a supernatural battle who decide to forgo pistols at dawn, choosing instead to duel with dramatic recitations of terrible poetry. Featuring several previously unpublished stories alongside a bevy of recently released works, this haunting compilation is appealing to both genre readers and mainstream literature lovers. |

CNN — On pins and needles awaiting the results of November's election, or falling asleep combing through the latest polling data? The answer might be more convenient than you think.
The 7-Eleven chain of stores is running a fourth "7-Election" campaign to predict the winner of the 2012 presidential election. While the method - having customers select either a red Romney or blue Obama cup for their coffee - is decidedly unscientific, the results in previous installments have closely mirrored those of the last two elections, and accurately predicted the winner in all three.
2000 Election 7-Election U.S. Voters
George W. Bush 21 percent - 47.9 percent
Al Gore 20 percent - 48.4 percent
2004 Election 7-Election U.S. Voters
George W. Bush 51 percent - 50.7 percent
John Kerry 49 percent - 48.3 percent
2008 Election 7-Election U.S. Voters
John McCain 46 percent - 45.7 percent
Barack Obama 52 percent - 52.9 percent
In the 2000 7-Election, all cup sales, including unmarked "nonpartisan" cups, were tallied. In subsequent years, only the candidate cups were included in the results.
UPC codes are scanned at the register and results are tallied at the end of each day on the campaign's website.
7-Eleven, Inc. President and CEO Joe DePinto said in a press release, "While we have never billed 7-Election as scientific or statistically valid, it is astounding just how accurate this simple count-the-cups poll has been -- election after election. We have had a lot of fun with it, and I hope we have encouraged people how important it is to vote in the real election."
Not every state participates in the 7-Election, but an interactive map allows viewers to get specific voting percentages, down to the city level. As for states that traditionally skew blue or red, there are provisions made so a coffee fan doesn't have to jump party lines for their java fix. A spokesperson for the company told Eatocracy that 7-Eleven forecasts the cup's quantities based on the past elections and makes adjustments where necessary.
For those who wish to opt out of advertising their political predilections, 7-Eleven also offers up its regular ("undecided") cup. Remaining non-partisan might not prove to be the most popular option, though; in each of the past 7-Election polls, more than six million candidate cups were tallied.
The chain also offers star-shaped red or blue donuts as running mates with the beverage "ballots" but they only count toward customers' daily sugar intake - not the national tally.

Etro Fall 2012
>> Oversized paisleys and op-art mosaics were the motifs du jour at Fall 2012 Etro. In a burnished palette of taupe, burgundy, and gray, they decorated every one of the collection's lean-lined looks. They appeared tattoo-like on sheer blouses, kaleidoscopic on peplumed sheaths, and texturally geometric on wide-legged pants. Whip-smart blazers and straight-cut coats in velvet and jacquard lent a jaunty, dandy mood.

Make "Beautiful Darkness" Movie Happen!
So, Beautiful Creatures did not do very well in the Box Office for it's opening weekend. Many people are afraid that this will hinder the chance of a sequel to the movie, which would be based on the second book in The Caster Chronicles, Beautiful Darkness, by Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl. By signing this petition, and getting enough signatures, it may help to sway the decision of those involved in green-lighting the second movie. It would be very much appreciated if you would sign! thank you so so so much.
Rita Resca

Web film
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A web film is a film made with the medium of the Internet and its distribution constraints in mind.[1] This term aims to differentiate content made for the Internet from content made for other media, such as cinema or television, that has been converted into a World Wide Web-compatible format. Web films are a form of new media.
There are broadly three forms of films that can be encountered on the Internet:
Form | Description | Defining Features | Example |
Traditional Promotion | A digitised version of films shot with the same production methods and technology used for TV/Cinema. | Often 35mm or high definition digital footage. (Usually highly compressed when on web.) | Cinema Trailers online, for example the trailer for Lord of the Rings [2] |
Films Not Made for, but Distributed Via the Internet | A film taking advantage of the Internet for distribution. | Often large files and/or designed to be downloaded not streamed. Highly compressed versions of pirated films. | The short film 405 The Movie [3] |
Web Films | Films made with the medium of the Internet and its constraints in mind. | Made in harmony with Internet & computer technologies such as streaming or Flash or After Effects. | The short film 'Distance Over Time' [4] |

PHILADELPHIA, Pennsylvania and REHOVOT Israel, January 16 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Rosetta Genomics Ltd. (Nasdaq: ROSG) and collaborators, today unveiled initial data relating to the company's colorectal cancer screening diagnostics test, miRscreen(TM) colon, which is based on a simple blood draw, and is expected to be released next year. The company's scientists and collaborators have identified microRNA biomarkers in serum, which have the potential to accurately differentiate colorectal cancer patients from healthy individuals. The data is being presented at the ASCO 2009 Gastrointestinal Cancers Symposium, in San Francisco.
"The initial data presented by Rosetta is very significant" said Aaron Ciechanover, Nobel laureate and chairman of Rosetta's scientific advisory board. "Rosetta's scientists and their collaborators, have for the first time, identified in serum, potential microRNA biomarkers of colorectal cancer. If treated early, 90% of colon cancer patients survive. The humane, medical, and financial impact of an effective, non-invasive colon cancer screening test can not be overstated."
Over 90 million Americans are at risk for colon cancer, a disease that kills 50,000 Americans every year.[1]
The company, together with collaborators, has shown that two microRNA biomarkers, obtained from a simple blood draw, identified colon cancer patients from healthy individuals with 91% sensitivity and 72% specificity.
"Rosetta's underlying serum-microRNA platform is extremely sensitive, and
has demonstrated detection sensitivity on the order of a single molecule,
single nucleotide specificity, and up to 700 fold test-to-control increase of
certain serum microRNA biomarkers." said Dr. Ayelet Chajut, EVP R&D Molecular
Biology at Rosetta and the primary investigator of the study.[2] "We e

Thoughts on Ranger 22
I have sailed on a Ranger 26 and would buy one if I were looking for a nice handling, fast daysailer that could be easily trailered. I enjoyed more interior room in the R26 than I see on a Ranger 22. The larger R26 is easily handled by two adults and othe members. It is large enough to allow the entire family to grow with it.
Otherwise, in a couple short years you could find the smaller R22 was outgrown due to your children's growth. But, I would advise you to seek a R26 instead of a Ranger 22 or 23 ft.
Just my opinion.

Expansion of the Duchy
Robert continued to expand the small county left by Humphrey into a duchy, extending from the Adriatic to the Tyrrhenian sea. The capture of Bari in April 1071 resulted in the end of Byzantine rule in southern Italy. Robert turned next to the neighbouring territories of Salerno, controlled by the Lombards. Instead of fighting them, he dissolved his first marriage and in 1058 married the sister of Salerno's last Lombard prince, Gisulf II. Hostilities broke out between the two rulers, however, and Gisulf naively tried to bring about a Byzantine counteroffensive against Robert. Fearing that the Norman advances into Campania, Molise, and Abruzzi would threaten the papal dominions, Pope Gregory VII excommunicated Robert and gave Gisulf considerable military aid. The struggle came to a head when Gisulf, determined to display his power, advanced toward the prosperous city of Amalfi. Robert responded to the city's plea for help in 1073 and successfully defended it; in December 1076 he took Salerno from Gisulf and made it the capital of his duchy.
Robert was now at the height of his power. During his rise he repressed with an iron hand not only the claims of Humphrey's sons but also the uprisings of towns and lords that were fretting under the restraints imposed upon them. The harshness with which Robert chose to deal with these rebels was intended to transform a heterogeneous population into a strong state.
When, in 1080, the conflict between church and state over the right to control ecclesiastical personnel and property had become more intense, Robert chose to reconcile himself with Gregory VII, entering into the Concordat of Ceprano, which confirmed the commitments of the earlier Council of Melfi. Even the Byzantine court drew closer to him and went as far as trying to establish a familial relationship with Robert. The Byzantine emperor Michael VII, in need of Robert's help to uphold his unstable throne, married his son, Constantine, to one of Robert's daughters, Helen. The opposition party, however, deposed Michael and confined Helen in a monastery. To guarantee Apulia against attack from the new rulers of Byzantium, Robert wanted the territories on the Adriatic coast of the Balkan Peninsula, and he began to build a large navy. Michael's expulsion and Helen's confinement reawakened his unappeased spirit of adventure and hastened his long-considered expedition. Now his goal was even more ambitious: to march to Byzantium and crown himself emperor in place of the deposed Michael.
In 1083 Robert landed in Epirus with a well-trained army and immediately succeeded in defeating the Byzantines and their Venetian allies. The pope, however, suddenly recalled him to Italy to help him expel the German king Henry IV, who was marching on Rome en route to claiming southern Italy for the Holy Roman Empire. Having returned home and suppressed the revolts of the lords hostile to himself and to Pope Gregory VII, Robert moved toward Rome, defeated the pope's enemies, and escorted him to Salerno in the summer of 1084. Following this success, he returned to his campaign on the Adriatic coast. He died during the siege of Cephalonia on July 17, 1085.
Physically attractive, endowed with an acute and unscrupulous intelligence, a brilliant strategist and competent statesman, Robert had begun to organize a state composed of diverse ethnic and civil groups: Latin and Germanic in Lombard territories and Greek in Byzantine domains. The new political structure was built on a monarchial-feudal framework characteristic of the time, but it was controlled by the energetic and uncompromising Robert, who tried to use his ducal power to create a powerful and prosperous state. The other base on which he built was Latin Christianity, the religion of the conquerors and most of the conquered, which he used to reconcile the subjected peoples. An extremely religious man, Robert was distrustful of the Greek clergy because of their ties with Byzantium. On the other hand, his generosity toward the Latin church was bountiful. He endowed it with territories and clerical immunities in order to tie it firmly to himself. Splendid cathedrals and Benedictine abbeys were built in the hope that they would consolidate and diffuse Latin language and culture among the heterogeneous people and tie them into a new, unified state.

When I was working on the Paperclay Leaves last week, I was absent-mindedly rolling some of the cut-away clay in my hands. Before I knew it, the blob was shaped into a peg form. Well, it took me about 3 seconds to decide to make some gnomes. What a shocker, right?
Anyway... I ran a copy of Wee Folk Art's Waldorf Style Gnomes, both the adult and the child patterns, pulled a couple wooden pegs out for sizing, and before I knew it, I had me a gaggle of gnomes. Well, actually, I had 2 gnomes with plans to create a gaggle :)
So, here are the directions to make your own Paperclay Gnomes. Note: I would not consider these to be children's toys. Although all the materials are non-toxic and child safe, they will break if played with in an exuberant manner... and I ask you... what child DOES NOT play exuberantly? BTW: You can use other clays to make this project, too.
It took a couple ounces of paperclay for each gnome.
Last week I shared Paperclay Leaves - Part 1. Today, we are going to finish the project by painting and sealing the leaves. After that, you'll just have to decide where they should fall! I made 12 leaves, and put them on my Harvest Cupboard. They look so beautiful I want to make more for here and there around the house. Also, I want to make some with the wee ones. I can only imagine how beautiful theirs will be!
To begin with, I collected all the supplies I would be needing. Although you can use any paint on these, I wanted a translucent quality to the colors, so I used my Stockmar Watercolor Paints.
To replicate the coloring of the autumn leaves, head outdoors and collect a handful. Unfortunately, a number of our trees haven't turned yet, so I collect some photos online and printed them for a reference.
I began by using a very thinned yellow "whitewash". I covered the front and back.
Then, I started adding other colors, mimicking the photos of...Read more
Just 2 short weeks ago I shared my plans to turn a give-away chair into a "funky" master piece. I had a vision, but knew I tend to procrastinate on these types of projects. I decided if I announced my intentions here, I'd feel compelled to complete the project in a timely fashion. And, tah dah, it worked! Tim and I got it done.
I suspect this is going to be a chair that you are either going to love or hate! Don't think you can go middle ground on this one! Yes, it is wild and crazy. Yes, it is funky. And, yes, it is different than anything else I have in the house, BUT I LOVE IT!
Last week I shared our Getting Started. We took off the seat, cleaned the chair, filled holes, and sanded. We then primed the wood, getting it ready for painting. Then, the HARD part... reupholstering the chair. Yikes! THAT was a project. You can read more about that HERE.
This week, I painted the chair. I began by painting...Read more
Since I haven't actually completed any project this week, thought I might share what I've been up to.
First, I've been busy with my funky chair. And when I say funky, I really mean FUNKY! Here is a sneak peek of just a corner. Trust me, the whole chair is busy, busy, busy, but I'm lovin' it! Then, I started a drawing class at a shop in town. There are only 2 students in the class, and this guy came in with this awesome portrait... and I brought in some sketches of my gnomes and applique blocks. Yikes... we are worlds apart, but, I had a blast, played with a hunk of graphite, and am excited to go back next week. Finally, got a package in the mail today from A Child's Dream! YAY! I've been wanting to play with the doll house people, and got 4 large and 4 small people. I also bought some roving for hair (Corriedale Earth Colors, set of 10 colors), and a bundle of the winter felt. I am going to put some patterns together for dressing...Read more
A few days ago I shared a little Black Eyed Susan flower that I made with felt and a wooden peg. When you pushed the petals down, you discovered a little flower fairy. I began thinking about other flowers, focusing on the petal shapes. I came up with 4 different shapes, keeping the necks the same size on all of them. I'll share some of the flowers I made, but the sky is the limit! Look at your favorite flowers, pick the petal that comes the closest, and before you know it, you'll have a bed of your "bestest" favorites :) Or, throw caution to the wind, get wild and crazy, and mix and match petals and colors, to create unique fantasy flowers. The choice is yours. For now, let's get started and learn the basics.
Materials: wooden pegs - 7/8"x 2 3/8"
Make a copy of the pattern found HERE.
Begin by painting the body of the peg green. MAKE SURE TO USE CHILD SAFE PAINTS. Paint the heads the color to match the flower you are making....Read more
Wander back a few days and read the first couple of paragraphs of the post I had on reusing craft designs. Here, is yet another way to use our little gnome. Follow the basic directions there except use the pattern found HERE.
The biggest difference, is you will be placing the pattern on a fold. When you fold the watercolor paper, use a ruler to help make the crease sharp. Place the pattern on the fold, trace the pattern and cut out, cutting through the front and back together. Follow the directions for the bookmark to transfer markings, outlining and coloring with watercolor pencils. Then paint with water. Come up with a cute little note on the inside, then, wah lah, a card any child... nah... any person, would love to get :)
Wouldn't these make lovely holiday cards? I can see it...Read more

For awhile now my economy gauge has been the price of a slice. I am very rarely in a car (I think I have only pumped gas once this year) so telling me how many miles to the gallon your car gets and how much it costs at the pump means dick to me. I have a sort of 'I pitty the fool' mentality for drivers. Even though I know gas prices effect everything including printing prices at BUST HQ, nothing drives the message home like a $3 slice. Watching the price of pizza is my equivalent to the dow.
A quick google of 'New York pizza prices and the economy' shows I am not the only one that uses this economy indicator. Check these two articles from the Guardian UK and the New York Times.
Now, thanks to The Economist pizza became even more informative. Check out these pizza boxes that they've been putting in Philly pizzerias around college campuses. What better way to get your message into the hands of the most college age kids as possible, plus who doesn't love a little food for thought. By the way if you want to follow the pizza dow, or just want to keep pie in your face this blog is the best.
