Ryan Seacrest and Julianne Hough Steal a Kiss in St. Barts
Julianne Hough and Ryan Seacrest kissed and admired the view from the deck of their friend's place in St. Barts on Saturday. Earlier in the day, Julianne visited the beach in a pink sundress with a group of girlfriends. She and Ryan met up later on for evening drinks at their pal's home, where she took a phone call before settling in with her longtime boyfriend. Ryan and Julianne have been in St. Barts for the past week, enjoying island-appropriate activities like paddleboarding and hanging on their yacht. Ryan was due for some time off after hosting Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve in NYC on Dec. 31. He'll be back to work this weekend, too, hosting a preshow for the Golden Globes.

Kimberly, those look yummy! Just might have to try your recipe myself. Did you major in home economics by any chance?
LOL- nope, although I've often thought I should have. I did used to be a pastry chef, though.

Wow! They look incredible. I don't have an electric skillet, do you think they would work in a regular frying pan, and if yes, what would I turn the burner up to?

They look wonderful!! I bet they smell yummy too.
Maybe I'll have to try them with my newer electric frypan I found at the local thrift store for 99 cents. I've only had it a couple-three weeks and has been used at almost every day since then.
Thanks for the idea (and the recipe)!!
02-10-2007, 09:58 AM #30They look great! I bet they taste the same! Enjoy!

Dirty little shop with brain dead employees. I could forgive the stupidity but the attitude is unexcusable. Very RUDE! They act like they are doing you a favor by letting you look at thier bikes. DONT, I repeat DONT get you bike fixed or serviced here. They will charge you double, they will not fix it correctly, and then they will not stand by thier work. I made the mistake of letting them come near my bike and when it came back it was covered in some kind of oily crap that actualy stained the paint on my tank. Don't bother to complain, they will just tell you it was that way when it came to them. This is the kind of dealership/shop that must see little to no return business. You are warned so don't say you were not told when they screw you over and treat you like crap.

I'm just starting to shop for my new bike - I was impressed by the way I was not pressured into a sale - they were very knowledgable and tried to fit the bike to my riding style - I will definately be back!

Overly elected as first woman in Kentucky House leadership; Carney new GOP whip
The Democratic and Republican House caucus leadership teams each added a new face, and Democrats made history by electing the first woman to serve as a House leader — in Rep. Sannie Overly of Paris.
Overly defeated Rep. Bob Damron of Nicholasville as Democratic caucus chair.
"It was a humbling experience to be the person the caucus would choose for the first time in the Commonwealth's history to serve in House leadership. I'm honored, humbled, and look forward to serving," Overly said.
It was the second time one of Damron's fellow Central Kentuckians unseated him from the caucus chairman post. After winning the job in 2005, Damron lost re-election two years later to Rep Charlie Hoffman of Georgetown. But Damron won the seat back in a rematch in 2009.
The rest of the House Democratic leadership will remain the same with Rep. Larry Clark of Louisville turning back a challenge by Rep. Arnold Simpson of Covington for the nomination of Speaker Pro Tem. And Rep. Tommy Thompson survived a tough challenge from Rep. Johnny Bell, D-Glasgow, for the job of Democratic whip.
Thompson returns for a second two-year term as whip. Clark has served as Speaker Pro Tem since 1994.
Thompson, Clark and Overly will join the other two Democratic leaders — Rep. Greg Stumbo, D-Prestonsburg, and Rep. Rocky Adkins, D-Sandy Hook, as House Majority Floor leader. Neither Stumbo nor Adkins faced opposition.
Meanwhile, the House Republicans elected Rep. John "Bam" Carney, R-Campbellsville, as minority whip to replace retired Rep. Danny Ford. Carney defeated Rep. Adam Koenig of Erlanger for that position.
Longtime Rep. Bob DeWeese of Louisville returned as caucus chair. The race for Republican caucus chairman was a three-way contest between DeWeese and Reps. Brad Montell of Shelbyville and Steven Rudy of West Paducah.
Rep. Jeff Hoover of Jamestown remains the minority floor leader.

text: The best songs inspired by the seaBy Emily Smith, CNNUpdated 7:13 AM ET, Thu December 8, 2011 7 photosThe best seaside tunes – American singer and film actor Bobby Darin sang "Beyond the Sea," which has been covered by numerous artists over six decades.Hide Caption 1 of 7 7 photosThe best seaside tunes – The Beach Boys took much of their inspiration from the ocean for their hits, including "Sail on Sailor."Hide Caption 2 of 7 7 photosThe best seaside tunes – The Beatles' drummer Ringo Starr took the lead for "Octopus's Garden," which featured on the album "Abbey Road."Hide Caption 3 of 7 7 photosThe best seaside tunes – Soul singer Otis Redding recorded "(Sittin on) The Dock of the Bay'" only days before he was killed in a plane crash.Hide Caption 4 of 7 7 photosThe best seaside tunes – British rock act Led Zeppelin referred to their legions of fans in their hit "The Ocean."Hide Caption 5 of 7 7 photosThe best seaside tunes – Relative newcomers on the list, The Presets' debut song "Girl and the Sea" will get people on the dance floor.Hide Caption 6 of 7 7 photosThe best seaside tunes – Singer songwriter Jimmy Buffett has fun with his tune "Mermaid in the Night."Hide Caption 7 of 7Story highlightsMainSail looks at what could feature on your seaside playlistThis list includes hits from The Beach Boys to Led ZeppelinWhat are your favorite sea-inspired tunes? Tell us belowForget sitting by a roaring fire as snow falls outside -- for many there's no better place to celebrate the festive season than by the water's edge on a warm summer's evening. But if you can't escape the cold to hit the ocean this year, these songs will help you to forget the chill and take you to the sea, wherever you may be.We've got your seaside playlist covered. But what's your favorite sea-inspired tune? Let us know in the comments below. "Beyond the Sea," Bobby DarinNo sea-inspired playlist would be complete without this song. "Beyond the Sea" has been sung by many artists over the past six decades, but Bobby Darin's version is undoubtedly the most famous. Despite the performer recording the song in the late 1950s, it's been used in many recent films from "Austin Powers" to "Finding Nemo." Fellow actors Ewan McGregor and Cameron Diaz sung "Beyond the Sea" in the film "A Life Less Ordinary," while Kevin Spacey lent his vocal chords to it in a biopic about Darrin named after his most famous song. "Sail on Sailor," The Beach BoysIt's hard to go past The Beach Boys when compiling a list of seaside classics. The group -- made up of brothers Brian, Dennis and Carl Wilson, along with Mike Love and Al Jardine -- are synonymous with beach tunes and surfing hits. "Sail on Sailor" was released on the 1973 album "Holland," one of the last albums the Californian pop group released. "Under the Sea," from Disney's "The Little Mermaid"While perhaps not a traditional party song, it is a childhood favorite for many. In the movie, mermaid princess Aerial longs to join the human world above the water's surface. However, the king's advisor, a lobster called Sebastian, tries to convince her otherwise, singing to her about the joys of ocean life, telling her "darling it's better, down where it's wetter.""Octopus's Garden," The Beatles The fab four recorded this song for their 1969 album "Abbey Road." Unusually for The Beatles, this song was written by drummer Ringo Starr, who was also the lead vocalist on the track. The upbeat tune tells of the carefree nature of an octopus's life below the surface, featuring lyrics such as "in our little hideaway beneath the waves, resting our head on the sea bed.""(Sittin' on) The Dock of the Bay," Otis ReddingThis was the last song recorded by Redding before he was killed in a plane crash in 1967. It was released after his death and was the first posthumous song to reach the number-one spot on the U.S charts. Redding was also posthumously awarded a Grammy for the song in 1968. He was inspired to write the soulful masterpiece after staying on a houseboat in California. "The Ocean," Led Zeppelin British rock band Led Zeppelin penned this tune in the early 1970s at the height of their success. It's believed the band were referring to their "ocean of fans" when they wrote this song, with lyrics such as "singing to an ocean, I can hear the ocean's roar." But it's just as easy for a keen seafarer to imagine dramatic ocean waves when listening to this tune."Girl and the Sea," The PresetsFor a change of pace, this tune could be perfect to get your party started. By electro-pop act The Presets, "Girl and the Sea" is guaranteed to get people on the dance floor. It's said the duo recorded this song, their debut, in the bathroom of their home. "Mermaid in the Night," Jimmy BuffettFor those who appreciate country music, Jimmy Buffet's "Mermaid in the Night" is the perfect ocean-inspired song. It appears on the 1989 album "Off to see the Lizard," just one of the more than 30 albums Buffet has released. This fun tune tells of the singer falling in love with a mermaid while fishing one evening, with lyrics like "I'm in love with a creature from the sea, she brings out the crustacean in me".More from travelDubai with a difference: Travel posters satirize emirate's expatsSaving the Galapagos, saving ourselvesLake Nicaragua: See this massive lake now before it's changed foreverPowered by Livefyre

They told David it was impossible - that even the Reckoners had never killed a High Epic. Yet, Steelheart - invincible, immortal, unconquerable - is dead. And he died by David's hand. Eliminating Steelheart was supposed to make life more simple. Instead, it only made David realise he has questions. Big ones. And there's no one in Newcago who can give him the answers he needs. Babylon Restored, the old borough of Manhattan, has possibilities, though.
This is Part One of Book 1 of the A Song of Ice and Fire Series. This first volume in the hugely popular and highly acclaimed epic fantasy series A SONG OF ICE AND FIRE is unabridged and split into two parts. Now a major Sky Atlantic TV series from HBO, starring Sean Bean. Summers span decades. Winter can last a lifetime. And the struggle for the Iron Throne has begun.
Jake Sullivan is a licensed private eye with a seriously hardboiled attitude. He also possesses raw magical talent and the ability to make objects in his vicinity light as a feather or as heavy as depleted uranium, all with a magical thought. It's no wonder the G-men turn to Jake when they need someoneto go after a suspected killer who has been knocking off banks in a magic-enhanced crime spree.
It's the 21st century, and global warming is here to stay, so forget the way your country used to look. And get used to the free market, too - the companies possess all the best hardware, and they're calling the shots now. In a world like this, a man open to any offers can make out just fine. A man like Greg Mandel for instance, who's psi-boosted, wired into the latest sensory equipment, carrying state-of-the-art weaponry - and late of the English Army's Mindstar Battalion.
Six days ago, astronaut Mark Watney became one of the first people to walk on Mars. Now, he's sure he'll be the first person to die there. After a dust storm nearly kills him and forces his crew to evacuate while thinking him dead, Mark finds himself stranded and completely alone with no way to even signal Earth that he's alive-and even if he could get word out, his supplies would be gone long before a rescue could arrive. Chances are, though, he won't have time to starve to death. The damaged machinery, unforgiving environment, or plain old "human error" are much more likely to kill him first. But Mark isn't ready to give up yet. Drawing on his ingenuity, his engineering skills-and a relentless, dogged refusal to quit-he steadfastly confronts one seemingly insurmountable obstacle after the next. Will his resourcefulness be enough to overcome the impossible odds against him?"

Now a major Sky Atlantic TV series from HBO, starring Sean Bean. Summers span decades. Winter can last a lifetime.
My name is Peter Grant and until January I was just probationary constable in that mighty army for justice known to all right-thinking people as the Metropolitan Police Service (as the Filth to everybody else). My only concerns in life were how to avoid a transfer to the Case Progression Unit--we do paperwork so real coppers don't have to--and finding a way to climb into the panties of the outrageously perky WPC Leslie May.

Sometimes a girl is touched by mother war. Thorn is such a girl. Desperate to avenge her dead father, she lives to fight. But she has been named murderer by the very man who trained her to kill. Sometimes a woman becomes a warrior Fate traps her in the schemes - and on the ship - of the deep-cunning minister Father Yarvi. Crossing half the world to find allies against the ruthless High King, she learns harsh lessons of blood and deceit.
Global phenomenon and Sunday Times best-selling author Neil Gaiman returns to dazzle, captivate, haunt, and entertain with this third collection of short fiction, following Smoke and Mirrors and Fragile Things, which includes a never-before published American Gods story, "Black Dog". In this new volume, Neil Gaiman pierces the veil of reality to reveal the enigmatic, shadowy world that lies beneath.
Ten years ago, Calamity came. It was a burst in the sky that gave ordinary men and women extraordinary powers. The awed public started calling them Epics. But Epics are no friend of man. With incredible gifts came the desire to rule. And to rule man you must crush his wills. Nobody fights the Epics...nobody but the Reckoners.
For over 20 years, Belasco House has stood empty. Regarded as the Mt. Everest of haunted houses, its shadowed walls have witnessed scenes of unimaginable horror and depravity. All previous attempts to probe its mysteries have ended in murder, suicide, or insanity.

The modern audience hasn't had a chance to truly appreciate the unknowing dread that readers would have felt when reading Bram Stoker's original 1897 manuscript. Most modern productions employ campiness or sound effects to try to bring back that gothic tension, but we've tried something different. By returning to Stoker's original storytelling structure - a series of letters and journal entries voiced by Jonathan Harker, Dr. Van Helsing, and other characters - with an all-star cast of narrators, we've sought to recapture its originally intended horror and power.

The Zombie War came unthinkably close to eradicating humanity. Max Brooks, driven by the urgency of preserving the acid-etched firsthand experiences of the survivors from those apocalyptic years, traveled across the United States of America and throughout the world, from decimated cities that once teemed with upwards of thirty million souls to the most remote and inhospitable areas of the planet. He recorded the testimony of men, women, and sometimes children who came face-to-face with the living - or at least the undead - hell of that dreadful time.

Quotes & snapshots from Tuesday night's Crazy Go event, directed by Terry Benson
"Do I even have eyes?" "How do you play this game? "Who played on the 1-1?" "Illegal move!" "That's just weird" Player 1: "There's two sets of stones"; Player 2: "Good, we're going to need them." "It's very bizarre."
"Ladders are weird." "This is crazy."

Go commentator Seong-Yong Kim 9P once got a very long and formal letter from a viewer admonishing him to "Be quiet!" Kim chuckled happily. For fifteen years he's been shaking up the go commentary world with his pungent – and entertaining – commentaries. "People call me rude and say 'that guy's too loud,'" Kim told the E-Journal Tuesday afternoon at the U.S. Go Congress, where he's one of the roster of visiting professionals. "Now," he smiled broadly "they love it." When Kim – who was Best Rookie of the Year in 1995, semi-finalist in the 1996 Samsung Cup, and won the 2004 Electronic Land Cup and the first King of Kings tournament – first began, "TV go commentaries used the Japanese style, very formal, and focused on technical details. They would only talk about the good moves, to be polite." But during a 1993 visit to the United States, Kim – an avid baseball fan — admired the lively style of American baseball commentators on television, and thought it could be applied to go, which was now being treated as a sport back home in Korea. "So if I thought a move was a mistake, I'd say so, bluntly." Initial audience response was uniformly negative, so much so that Baduk TV had to shut down their website's comment section to avoid crashing the server. But Kim kept at it, filling the long empty spaces between moves, not just with his pungent commentary, but detailed background on the players and the moves, "when a move was first invented, and how trends have changed over the years." Figuring that baseball's fascination with stats would also translate well to go, he compiled over a thousand pages of statistics about the game and players, "What kind of joseki a particular players uses, the openings he favors, how many times he's played black or white." All commentators use stats now, Kim said, and they can reveal fascinating insights. "Lee Changho 9P says he prefers to play black, but the stats show that he has a higher winning percentage as white." They also show that in a close game, Lee Changho – well-known for his strong endgame – "has a 90% chance of winning." Kim is so popular that he's done commentary for several Korean baseball games, which he says was much easier than go. "In baseball, it's all about what's already happened, while in go we're trying to figure out what might happen." Five years after receiving the "Be quiet" letter, Kim ran into the fan, who enthusiastically shook his hand, apologized for his letter and thanked him for helping generate interest in go with his "interesting, lively and frank" commentaries. "Hey, things change," Kim – who also now does game commentaries on CyberOro and Tygem — shrugged with another broad smile.

Curtis Tang 7d (r) won both Redmond Cup games, shutting out Jianing Gan 7d in the Senior Division. Gan had been favored to win, placing first in the qualifiers, while Tang placed third, and was only selected to play when second place finalist Gansheng Shi was unable to attend the Congress. Tang, now 17 years old, has a long history of success in the Redmond. He took the Junior Division championship in 2001, 03, and 04, and then again in 2006 in the Senior Division. Both finalists won a free trip to the US Go Congress to compete, and will receive cash prizes as well, and this year None Redmond herself will present the Redmond Cup at the awards banquet.

"It took begging on my knees to get into schools," said Marjorie "Su Co" Hey 19k (l), the American Go Foundation's Teacher of the Year, in a Monday afternoon presentation about her methods of teaching go. Once she did get into schools, though, teachers "found that the kids that were playing go were behaving better in classes — suddenly I was very popular." Double-digit kyus make better teachers, she said, because they don't complicate things. "If you give the students too much information, they'll get confused, and they probably won't come back." She is not a fan of "capture go" as a teaching method, because "by the time you get around to showing them all the rules, they've lost interest," so she teaches the full rules of go. Hey said that she ensures that new players win their first game, no matter what, because they won't come back if they don't enjoy it, and "worse yet they won't tell anyone." David Weiss 2D agreed that capture go is not a good tool because "kids in general only want to capture — it's like throwing gasoline on a fire." But John Greiner 6k pointed out that the biggest advantage of capture go "is that they know when the game is over." Hey doesn't like 9×9 boards — they're too crowded and players don't get room to experiment — so she moves people up to 13×13 after two or three games. In addition to the traditional names for the fourth line ("influence line") and third line ("territory line"), she added names for the second ("losing line") and first ("dead line") to help her students avoid them. For new students, it's important not to "let them leave empty-handed," so she gives out The Way to Go, paper boards, and various other handouts so that they have something to read as well as a way to play before the next meeting. It is important to recognize that different kinds of students have different needs, Hey said. Adults "need to be assured that they are learning something worthwhile," while kids want to start playing "before they know where the stones go." Presenting some go history and the names of famous players is useful when introducing adults, but not for kids. In addition to her presentation, Hey also brought a lot of her teaching materials (r) to show to the other teachers.

U.S. OPEN ROUND 2, BOARD 2: Ryo Maeda 6P on "Mysterious and interesting moves"
Monday August 2, 2010
"This is a really interesting and exciting game," says Ryo Maeda 6P in his U.S. Open Round 2 game commentary, "with many mysterious and interesting moves." The game features a non-joseki variation that winds up being an even trade and then a ladder plays a critical role in the fighting that follows, with an attack on Black's central group, more ladders and finishing with a nailbiting semeai with just one period of overtime left. (NOTE: this is not the complete game record, which will be published on the Congress Crosstabs page) Game recorded by Chris Burg; published in the American Go E-Journal.
Monday August 2, 2010
The key to making a living shape is "not two eyes, but six points," Ryo Maeda 6P said in the second of his four-part U.S. Go Congress lecture series. He went through various sizes of eyes, saying that most players need to "reset" their thinking. For example a group with a three-space eye "is not dead, it just has one eye." He showed the four-space "mountain" eye, as well as the four-space square eye, which he called "baka" ('stupid' in Japanese). He then went on to the bulky five shape (stupid eye plus one) and the rectangular six, which is alive. Only the "flower six" (or rabbity six) is dead, but Maeda said not to worry about that shape as it has never come up in one of his games: "before you get in flower six, you do something else." Someone from the audience suggested "stupid four plus two ears" for that shape, which was well received. He also described how to avoid studying joseki by making the rectangular six shape in the corner. Sometimes that shape can "turn into ko, but you don't die." Instead of studying and remembering joseki, "which is complicated — you can make one mistake and mess it all up," just remember the rectangular six.
If you are trying to kill a group, first see if it can be turned into a five-point shape, then look to reduce it from the outside. Playing from the outside is less risky, than playing the "fancy stuff" on the inside that a professional might use, because if it fails "you can lose." Most life and death problem books are geared toward a single answer, but in the Maeda method, "there are many right answers." Players should "erase everything they know and start with the Maeda method — it's not too late." Translator Yoshi Sawada 6D said that the method is simple, "that's why his book is only six pages" to much laughter. As he did in his first lecture on Sunday, Maeda finished Monday's lecture with two rounds of simul rock-paper-scissors with the audience, with a prize for the last one standing.

Social and Environmental Projects
PROJECT HEPA – ORAL TESTIMONY 2007-2009HEPA is an abbreviation of Hetahetam-Po Ambara signifying "Proclaim what is in your heart". The project recorded oral testimonies from local communities in Androy and Anosy.
It produced 5 films, a book in three languages, and a range of web publications; the testimonies have been disseminated locally, nationally and internationally to increase the voice of local populations, and improve awareness about the knowledge and experience of indigenous people in southern Madagascar. VOICES OF CHANGE English version (PDF 11.62Mb) Two of the films made by the local beneficiaries under Project HEPA have since been shown at the Copenhagen Climate Change film festival 2009 to help debate around climate change adaptation and highlight issues for developing countries. |

Rabbi Nachman of Bratslav and Franz Kafka
Part of the Jewish Encounter seriesRodger Kamenetz, acclaimed author of The Jew in the Lotus, has long been fascinated by the mystical tales of the Hasidic master Rabbi Nachman of Bratslav. And for many years he has taught a course in Prague on Franz Kafka. The more he thought about their lives and writings, the more aware he became of unexpected connections between them. Kafka was a secularThe History of Last Night's Dream
Our Dreams Will Never Be the Same AgainInternational bestselling author Rodger Kamenetz believes it is not too late to reclaim the lost power of our nightly visions. He fearlessly delves into this mysterious inner realm and shows us that dreams are not only intensely meaningful, but hold essential truths about who we are. In the end, each of us has the choice to embark on this illuminating path toWhy Should Jews Survive? : Looking Past The Holocaust Toward A Jewish Future
In the fifty years since the Holocaust, the Jewish People have felt one overriding concern: survival. The ghosts of the murdered six million, along with the living generation of survivors, have called out the unifying chant, "never again." In 1948, this concern found a second focus in the state of Israel, the ultimate refuge of Jews worldwide. But Rabbi Michael Goldberg finds that these twinThe True Story of How Jesus Died and How We All Missed It for 2,000 Years
Judas and Jewish leaders. Continually tried and condemned for Jesus' death. This book exonerates them and ends the longest running witch trial in history. The search for the true circumstances of Jesus' death is an intellectual detective story.

This short and remarkable book presents the essential teachings of Hasidism, the mystical Jewish movement which swept through Eastern Europe in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, and their relevance to our lives.

Dietrich Bonhoeffer died a martyr's death at the age of 39 but remains one of the most influential and challenging theologians of our time.

From Bonhoeffer we learn that the Christian life is lived both alone and together, and that there is

Russia trims wheat harvest to 60M tons
MOSCOW — Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin said yesterday that this year's wheat harvest will be off more than a third, down to 60 million tons.
Last year, the world's third largest grain exporter harvested 97 million tons of wheat and exported 21.4 million tons.
Putin said in televised remarks that his government will not lift its ban on wheat exports until the end of the year. The ban announced Thursday has already pushed world wheat prices up.
"The question is what the country will be left with next year," Putin told a government meeting. "Most of the country's regions will enter the new year without winter crops."
Russian farmers already have little incentive to export as grain prices have been rising even faster in Russia than on world markets.
Most of the damage to Russia's wheat crop has been caused by the drought, one of the worst in decades as much of the country suffers through the hottest summer since record-keeping began 130 years ago.
But wildfires raging through western Russia have spread into farmland and there are fears that more fields will be lost.
Experts say the United States, Argentina and Australia will gain the most from the spike in wheat prices, because Canada and the European Union are not expected to have abundant harvests this year.

1. After removing the matches from the inside drawers, sand down the tops so they will slide in and out easily. Paint them, inside and out. When the paint dries punch a tiny hole in front and insert scrapbooking brads for the pull handles or you could use beads.
2. Glue the matchboxes together 2 across and 5 high. With the drawers removed, paint the edges of the front only.
3. Measure the 2 sides and back and cut lightweight cardboard in those dimensions. I used a cereal box for this. Glue on the sides and back making sure the drawers are not going to get glued on to the back. (I almost made this major mistake when I glued the back on.)
4. Measure the top and bottom of the matchboxes and cut out 2 pieces of regular cardboard about 1/8" larger on all sides.
5. Next, cut out 2 pieces of paper for the top and bottom, roughly ½ " larger on both sides. I used Royal Coat Decoupage Finish for the rest of the gluing. Take one piece of cardboard and center it on the paper and lightly glue it down. Starting at the corners, fold in at a 90-degree angle and then fold down the other 4 sides and glue or tape them in place. Decoupage the outside of this. Do the same with the other piece of cardboard and paper.
6. Measure around the 2 sides and back of the matchboxes and add ½ " to the length. Fold each outside edge in ¼". This will give the front a more finished look.
7. Using Royal Coat Decoupage, glue this strip of paper onto the matchboxes and decoupage the outside. Use as many coats as you want.
8. Glue the top and bottom pieces onto the matchboxes and glue the marbles on for the feet with regular tacky glue.
9. If the drawers seem a little tight, rub them with waxed paper and they'll slide in and out much easier.
10. Voila! You're done!

I have installed a number of shop lights in different garages and pole barns with limited success. After a very short time they started flickering and then failed. Not so with these lights. They still work perfectly, start up immediately even at low temperature. Very good value for the price.

Best Shoplight for Price!!

I had been looking a a shop light for my orchids and finally found this one. It arrived quickly, easy to assemble, appears well-made and sturdy and lights are easy to install unlike some others. My favorite thing about it is the almost 1 ft. wide reflector since it covers more space with light than most lights of this type. I would definitely recommend it.
