This week's #MasterofCocktails is an absolute doosie. We're making a Mai Tai. Probably one of the most abused and under-appreciated drinks in the world.
Now, if you've ever ordered one of these in a bar, you'll either have had a delicious variant on a Daiquiri, or a juice-laden mess that bears as much resemblance to a proper cocktail as a bottle of Hooch and an apple schnapps chaser.
Can you guess which version we're going to be making?

Well. This is sort of a big deal, isn't it?
I can probably count on the fingers of one hand the number of whiskies ever released that are over 60 years of age, and it's absolutely unthinkable these days that a 60yo distillery release would ever see the light of day at anything less than a five-figure price tag. Yet here we are bringing this astonishing piece of liquid history to you for a three-figure sum*.
Well rather than re-iterate, I'll refer you to my explanation of the economics behind this, here: http://www.masterofmalt.com/Blog/post/Brand-New-30-40-and-50-Year-Old-Whisky.aspx. Do please read it, as every bit of it still rings true, and it's the reason behind our ability to continue to deliver exceptional, unbelievably well-aged whiskies at price-points an order of magnitude less than some other folk.

It's #MasterofCocktails time again folks! This week we're putting together a supremely refreshing drink – one which you absolutely must try if you haven't already.
A long drink made with tequila and grapefruit, god only knows why this isn't more widely available to be honest. This week we'll be making a Paloma. It's a Mexican number that translates as the 'dove', all you really need to know though is that you want one. They're yummy.

Another week's been and gone, which means it must be time for another #MasterofCocktails! This week we're making a Penicillin cocktail, created at Milk and Honey NYC by Sam Ross. Nice work Sam.
This is a Whisky sour, but is unusual, being made with a good slug of Peated Malt. Not a traditional hit in cocktails.
In this context, the peat works well with the traditional ginger, honey and lemon mix to provide further mental cues that the drink's doing you good. Delicious!

Right then chaps – we're going to be making something that's very much en-vogue at the moment for this week's #MasterofCocktails: an Aviation.
Essentially, this cocktail is just a gin-sour with a dab of Violet Liqueur in it, but the sum of the parts is so much more than this. Also, as it's probably one of the least sweet sours you'll come across, it can still legitimately be called an aperitif.

For this week's #MasterofCocktails we're having a go at a modern classic. An Espresso Martini. Now before we begin, we're going to start by getting a few silly preconceptions out of the way...
The biggest one is probably the ingredients. If anyone says that you need a coffee liqueur to make an espresso martini, chances are they're trying to sell you some coffee liqueur. Or have been paid by a Coffee Liqueur Brand.
The thing about coffee liqueur is that it's made of coffee, and alcohol. We're using incredibly fresh coffee for this, which means you're going to get more than enough coffee punch, and won't have to sacrifice any flavour (as larger, more complex flavour molecules tend to degrade over time). We're also using dry ice today. As detailed last week, you can get this by ordering from online stores that ship frozen.

Another classic long drink for this week's #MasterofCocktails – this time around we're making a Singapore Sling to tie in with Chinese New Year. Definitely not a massive coincidence levered into the proceedings. Nope. Not that.
Remember, you can follow along on twitter from 6pm every Sunday before the recipe appears here on the blog the following day for your reference and general delight.
So, a bit about this cocktail - the Singapore Sling is a stalwart at Singapore's Raffles Hotel, dating back to the early 20th century. I've taken a slightly updated twist, however, heavily inspired by the superb book 'The Curious Bartender', by Tristan Stephenson. More on that shortly...

For this week's #MasterofCocktails, we're making a Highball. Incredibly refreshing, and probably in my all-time top three aperitifs. Well, top 5 anyway... (Martini, Negroni, Campari-Soda...) Yep. Top 5.
Now, whilst this may seem a very straight-forward cocktail (and in many ways is), it's all in the balance and execution. I had one of my favourites a couple of weeks ago at Bincho (a Japanese Restaurant with its own 'whisky joint' in the basement), where they paired Hakushu 12 with Fresh Mint.
We're going to use Lemon Peel as the 'garnish' in our drink, but we want it to be very, very subtle. More on that later...

Alternate Title: "If it's not perfect, what's the fucking point?"
My name is Ben. I like it when things are done properly*. This post, therefore, has been quite a while in the making.
It turns out making clear ice is hard. Very hard in fact. There's a very good reason that companies like this exist. In fact, if you're based in, or near, London – you should probably just stop reading this, man up, buy yourself a chest freezer to house some of their wares, and give them a call.
If like me though, you're out of their delivery range, you're going to need to make your own**.
Luckily, every single one of you has the requisite equipment for this, so there really aren't any excuses. You can make big, clear ice with zero investment. Sounds like I'm trying to get you to buy a timeshare. I'm not. Promise.

Well that was quite a Christmas.
In fact it's been so busy that 4 new releases have passed us by with nary a mention. Changing that, now I am here with the writing about things. Yes.
Without further ado, onto the explanations behind the crazy stuff that's fallen out of my head and onto paper.
First up this time, we've got an absolute belter of an Islay Whisky, from Kilchoman.

For a lot of people, spring is the best among the four seasons of the year. It's when we shake off the winter freeze and embrace the freshness of rebirth. Across the world's temperate regions, there's not a single place that doesn't look good at this time of year. Few places, however, are as much fun to be in as Italy is from March to May. With crisp weather, nature in full bloom and a renewed energy in the air, spring is ideal for visiting this lovely European nation. Seeing archaeological sites, appreciating works of art and tasting the wonderful cuisine is standard faire when visiting any Italian city, but what can make your stay even more memorable is participating in awesome festivals during the springtime months. Taking part in the celebrations is the fastest way to immerse yourself in Italian culture; it helps you appreciate the country and its […]

Could electric clay be the world's next wonder-material?
Researchers at Drexel University have hit upon a conductive clay which they claim is an "exceptionally viable candidate" to one day replace the electrode materials used in batteries and supercapacitors. Sure, another day another super material, but MXene, as it's called, does boast some rather intriguing properties. Read More
New tech could allow electric cars' body panels to store energy
Imagine opening up an electric car and finding no batteries. An absent-minded factory worker or magic? Perhaps neither. If nanotechnology scientists led by the Queensland University of Technology (QUT) are on the right track, it may one day be a reality as cars are powered not by batteries, but their body panels – inside which are sandwiched a new breed of supercapacitors. Read More
Rechargeable batteries are the Achilles heel of portable electronics, requiring hours to recharge and generally having a life of around 1,000 recharge/discharge cycles before charge capacity starts to fall noticeably. To avoid both these problems, Sam Beck from Portland, Oregon-based Blueshift has created portable Bluetooth speakers that can be charged within five minutes and boast rated lifetimes of 500,000 charges thanks to being powered by supercapacitors. Read More
Using waste hemp fibers as the starting material, researchers at the University of Alberta in Canada have developed a high-performance electrode material for supercapacitors at one thousandth the cost of the more commonly used graphene. The advance could lead to supercapacitors that are both cheaper and able to operate under harsh environmental conditions. Read More
Billions of cigarette butts are discarded around the world each year and, even when disposed of properly, pose a threat to the environment by leaching arsenic, lead and other nasty chemicals into land and waterways. New research shows these butts could be set for a new lease on life, with a team of Korean scientists demonstrating that used cigarette filters could actually double as a highly-effective energy storage material. Read More
Researchers at the University of California, Riverside have developed a new graphene-based supercapacitor that uses a nanoscale architecture to double its energy and power performance compared to commercially-available alternatives. This breakthrough is another important step toward making supercapacitors viable for use in fast-charging, high-performance electric cars and personal electronics. Read More
We literally live in a wired world, with wires snaking hither and yon transmitting electricity and data. Many are visible, while many more are hidden in the walls of buildings, the panels of cars, and the fuselage of aircraft. Now, imagine; what if we were able to turn each and every one of these into a battery that not only transmitted electricity but stored it too? Well, two researchers from the University of Central Florida (UCF) imagined that too, and came up with a way to use nano-technology to make wires with supercapacitance that may eventually also double as batteries. Read More
Imagine using a mobile phone powered entirely by its casing, or an electric car that runs off power stored in its chassis. Researchers at Vanderbilt University have created a structural supercapacitor that could, they believe, bring this closer to reality, making batteries and power cords obsolete. The structural supercapacitor could make it possible to store energy directly in structural materials, allowing them to deliver power long-term while surviving the real-life mechanical stresses they're bound to experience. Read More
An international team of researchers has developed a supercapacitor composed of graphene and carbon nanotubes that is claimed flexible enough to be woven into clothing and potentially powerful enough to offer a real alternative to batteries for use in portable devices. Capable of being charged and discharged in excess of 10,000 cycles, the new supercapacitor also promises to be significantly lighter, faster to charge, and more robust than current battery technology. Read More
Helium Bluetooth speakers powered by supercapacitors
Sharing music with friends through laptop or smartphone speakers can be less than satisfying, which perhaps goes some way to explaining the overwhelming choice of portable Bluetooth speakers that come into view as you enter a consumer electronics store. Such offerings all suffer the same problem, though. Just as you're getting your groove on, the built-in battery dies and you have to wait hours while it juices up from a wall socket. What mobile music lovers like me need are wireless speakers that can charge in minutes, and then last for hours. An impossible dream? Sam Beck from Portland's Blueshift doesn't think so. He's developed mono and stereo portable Bluetooth speakers powered by supercapacitors. Helium users can look forward to a super quick charge time, hours of full volume playback and years of recharge cycles before needing to consider a supercap refresh. Read More

Indoor GPS: System Functionality and Initial Performance Evaluation
Free registration required
Executive Summary
Indoor GPS (IGPS) is a newly developed laser based measuring system for large scale metrology. The relative portability, reconfigurability and ease of installation make the IGPS suitable for many industries manufacturing large scale products. The system performance depends on both the components characteristics and their physical configuration. Hence, an important consideration for the IGPS is to characterise its real capabilities, pointing out how they can be influenced by the system's configuration and setup.

What's the longest shot that you will take at a big game animal under perfect conditions?
I have taken one from 355 yards, but with that said I think I could do 500 with the perfect conditions and a solid rest. But I do have to say this I much prefeer to get up close and personal with them...feels more like hunting.
I'm comfortable out to 400yrds. I havent practiced much beyond that.
500 yards is my personal limit. I practice frequently with steel plates out to that range. I don't even practice beyond that though. Longest shot I've ever taken was last year's antelope. I can't remember exactly what it rangefinder'ed at but it was somewhere near 470 or 480. That's right at my limit. All three shots hit her in the vitals though. I needed to be shooting a faster expanding bullet and she would have fallen over a little faster.
Depends on my rifle. With my 300 win mag, 300 yards, but with my .270 and smaller big game, 500 yards. I shoot my .270 more accurately and it has a better scope on it. I use handloads in it and just factory loads for my .300 right now. I don't have the time at the range with the .300 either. My .270 is just a better gun shooting 1/2 moa at 300 yards. The .300 is hunting accurate, but not 1/2 moa, more like 1 MOA at 300. Also, I'd have to have a solid prone position for the 500 yard shot. I killed my last antelope using shooting sticks at a distance of 350 yards, but prefer the prone position for long shots.
Having never hunted east of the Mississippi, I have never taken a shot over 200 yards.
I used to live where I could set milk jugs filled with water on fence posts at 200 and hit them with regularity.
Since I'll be going west next year, I'm planning on sighting in my rifle for a 250 yard zero (based on ballistic charts).
After we get out there, I'll have the opportunity to see what the rifle and I can do at 400 or so (on paper first, of course).
I'm pretty sure the rifle will do its part - - just hope I can do mine.
Where out west are you going? You might look at some of the post on maximum point blank range. Some of the posters like to sight their rifle in so it can be accurate to a certain distance without worrying about hold over. Makes sense and will offer a different perspective on sighting in for longer distances. I use a Leupold Boone and Crocket scope that has the reticle with holdover points so I don't use the MPBR method. I sight my rifle in at 200 and then use the corresponding reticle points for longer distances.
I think one thing that some hunters overlook is where to hold for a 50 yard shot. For my rifle, if I use the 200 yard reticle I am right on for 50 yards.
I am comfortable with a shot to about 300 yards. However, it depends on the size of the animal. A target like a southern CA mule deer, all 100 lbs of it, is a little tougher than an 800 lb elk or a 1200 lb moose. I might push it to 350 or so for them.
The California mule deer is only 100 pounds? Wow, that is small.
Yeah, i wouldn't ut them much past 100-120 lbs on average. My secretary hit one a couple of years ago that was weighed on the hoof at 201 lbs. The dressed weight figured at around 162, and the wardens said that was one of the biggest deer they had seen.
I would feel good out to 1200 yards on elk size game. 1000 on deer size and smaller.

Jane Middleton - 15/02/2015
We learnt this from Maggie at Coventry back in November '14. Music is a great catchy track by Take That to which the dance fits perfectly! I immediately taught it to my classes and they loved it. Once the timing of the hip bumps and the last section with the sweep and walk around had been mastered they were away!! A little reminder on which mambo we are doing (as there are a couple - one has a turn and the other hasn't). Dance looks really funky using the 'take that' arms too in the 'side touch behind' section. Shame not many doing this dance so thought I'd give this dance a plug, well worth a go! We love it Maggie!

Lois Lightfoot - 15/02/2015
Heard a lot of chatter about this being a must do dance & I have to say they are right, this is a really fun little dance from Gary, set to another catchy track. Section 3 may take a bit of practice, but its caused lots of giggles and there�s a neat little twist at the give it a try to find out yourself.
Till It's Gone
Lois Lightfoot - 15/02/2015
Fab dance from Pat & Tina that was an instant hit with my class, very reminiscent of some older classic dances, using familiar steps in a new paten set perfectly to a nice country track.

1983 (when I left school) seems like a few days ago to me.
Time is weird. When I was at High School (1978 to 1983) if anyone mentioned the 1960s, it seemed like ages ago, e.g. a song from 1969 mentioned in 1979 was only ten years old but seemed almost as distant as WWII. Now the 1980s and 1990s seem so recent despite being 30-40 years ago.
Or perhaps I'm just old!

It smiles?!
Ham Polo is played on pigs with a hammer instead of a mallet. As you can tell, it's lots of fun.
I thought "Ham Polo" was one of the characters in "Pigs…in…Spaaaaace!"
Looks like Jim Carey in a wig.
I see more Kristen Stewart but this is a trio I would never have expected to be confused with each other.
Mary-Louise Parker
fools, Angelina Jolie, Kristen Stewart, Mary-Louise Parker and Jim Carey are all the same person
She's not 40 yet, right?
doesn't matter, her sun set long ago. Not attractive. Damn that american apparel ad, that is the grossest god damn thing I have ever seen in my life. The bitch is ugly as shit and so pastey. MY EYES!!!!
Jack Nicholson is looking GREAT these days!
The circumference of her wrist is 2.14 millimeters.
Katie Holmes has really pretty healthy hair and a young looking face and this bitch here is an ugly skeleton with a fried mop atop her head. Hope that helps.
She looks at babies like they're Pokemon. She just goes around, and takes them without asking.
She can't throw pokeballs though, because her whole arm would go flying.
I warned her about the pony with the cock.
A blessed life to be sure
Where's the ham?
"Oh no. Angelina's near the colts now. Someone get her before she steals one."

Kiwi 2 delivers groups and themes for Mac Twitter users
Just in case you haven't been happy with any of the seemingly countless Twitter clients for OS X, Kiwi 2 is here to offer you another one to try out. Full of new features like inline images, account grouping, gesture support for trackpads, and a themeable interface, Kiwi 2 is a pretty solid Twitter client that looks right at home on the Mac platform.
My favorite new feature I discovered when giving it a trial run? The ability to set rules to hide annoying tweets, which is something that should be built into any application designed to work with Twitter. I have been using Nambu on my Mac for months now, but it may have some competition in Kiwi 2 -- at least until the next cool Twitter client comes out.
Kiwi 2 is available in 2 flavors: a free version supported by ads and an ad-free one which costs US $9.95. Click Read More to check out video of Kiwi 2 in action.

Nutone ZN80 Bathroom Fan, 80 CFM Dual Speed ULTRA GREEN X2 Series & Energy Star Rated - for 6" Duct
Ask a Question
About this Product
Nutone Bathroom Fans will add the necessary ventilation needed to prevent many of the issues commonly associated with excess humidity and indoor air pollution. Proper ventilation can prevent many health problems including the spread of germs, dust, debris, and VOC's (Volatile Organic Compounds – normally found in cleaners, sprays, cosmetics, etc). The Nutone ZN80 adds a powerful 80 CFM blower that will properly ventilate any standard sized bathroom. The advanced design uses the most ecological practices, without any sacrifice to performance or noise insulation. The ZN80 is a multi-speed fan that measures 11-3/8" W x 10-1/2" L x 7-5/8" H, with a white polymeric grille measuring 13" L x 14" W. This fan exceeds Energy Star requirement by nearly 10 times, and uses only 0.1 Amps @ 120 volts. The highly efficient design will pay for itself in savings in just the first few years of operation.
Power Savings
The Nutone ZN80 uses a UltraGreen DC Motor (most efficient in the industry), using up to 88% less electricity than typical bath fans. The large 6" duct opening allows for more air movement, also resulting in a more quiet operation.
Reducing Noise Levels
Get rid of the annoying fan buzz! The Nutone ZN80 operates at less than 0.3 Sones, making it virtually silent to the human ear. The low noise provides a much more enjoyable bathroom experience. The noise levels of the ZN80 are greatly reduced due to a more solid and super tight construction not found in other bath fans. The insulated housing prevents excess noise from exiting the housing structure.
Ease of Installation
The first fan of it's kind to take into account the installer! Reduce installation times by nearly 60% on average. The fully adjustable mounting frame and the room side installation method allow for a more universal install, eliminating obstacles. The Nutone ZN80 will install in a matter of minutes in either new construction or remodeled home applications. The installation method not only makes the installation easy, but saves the homeowner the cost of longer installs.

Customer Reviews
finally a Nutone that beats Panasonic
It is about time Broan Nutone made a quality fan that matches and exceeds the best of Panasonic. I installed 2 of these fans in about the same time it takes to install one Panasonic. The customer was happy, they initially wanted a Panasonic and I turned them onto the Ultra fan. They were so happy, they had the latest fad in bathroom fans. Made in USA Broan Nutone.

Microsoft's Cloud Revenue and Ramp-Up Speed Uncertain
Microsoft's Cloud Revenue and Ramp-Up Speed Uncertain
Nicholas Kolakowski
Posted 2011-01-28
Microsoft is betting that customers will embrace its cloud offerings, but executives on the Jan. 27 earnings call offered no timetable for that future ramp-up.
Microsoft may have adopted an "all in" strategy with regard to the cloud, but its Jan. 27 earnings call suggests the company-at least publicly-is playing a bit loose with its roadmap for client adoption of the technology. That could be a reflection of some companies' reluctance to embrace the cloud, as opposed to an on-premises platform, as the backbone of their IT infrastructure. But given the "all in" nature of Microsoft's commitment, and the need for cloud-based revenues to eventually replace those from its traditional desktop-based software model, the question of how quickly companies will embrace its cloud offerings is one of prime importance.
"We obviously haven't given any guidance on the revenue of that and how fast it's going to ramp up," Peter Klein, Microsoft's chief financial officer, told analysts and media during the earnings call. "It's one of those things where it's going to happen, and the exact sort of speed of the ramp is uncertain. I do believe that once it starts to accelerate, it's going to accelerate pretty fast."
That seems roughly in line with what Microsoft executives have been saying for months. Klein also claimed that the "economics are very good" for companies that complete the migration to the cloud. "But probably even the stronger driver, especially now in the conversations, is the ability to take advantage of the latest capabilities that we have," he added. "So it's a very easy way to deploy the latest versions of our software, and increasingly, that's really the biggest piece of the dialogue." One of Microsoft's chief rivals in the cloud space, Salesforce.com, has touted its offerings as the best way for businesses to stay current with their applications' latest versions. "How many SAP customers are on the current version?" Salesforce.com CEO Marc Benioff asked the audience during an Oct. 19, 2010, keynote talk at the Gartner Symposium/ITxpo 2010. "How many Oracle customers ... how many Microsoft? Fractions."
Much of Microsoft's recent cloud effort has been focused on initiatives such as Office 365, whose subscription-based model-allowing organizations to stay up-to-date with the latest versions of Microsoft Office, SharePoint Online, Exchange Online and Lync Online-seems designed to counter that criticism. Microsoft launched Office 365 in limited beta on Oct. 19, with general availability expected in 2011. Microsoft's traditional lines of business generally performed well last quarter, according to the company, with its Business Division's revenue growing 24 percent year-over-year. Strong sales of Office 2010, Windows 7 and the Kinect hands-free controller all helped contribute to $19.95 billion in revenues and $6.63 billion in net income. That being said, the company has yet to see any substantial profits for cloud initiatives such as Azure. Microsoft almost certainly has its own internal metrics for cloud adoption over the next year or two, in the same way that it has undisclosed goals for the size of its mobile-applications marketplace. However, those numbers are unlikely to leak online anytime soon. Microsoft's Server and Tools Business-in many ways the center of its cloud strategy-is primed to undergo a shakeup this year with the departure of longtime division President Bob Muglia.
In a Jan. 10 e-mail to employees
, Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer claimed the division needed new leadership to "move forward into the era of cloud computing." "I had always remarked to folks that Bob's a survivor. His time just finally ran out," the anonymous head of the blog Mini-Microsoft, which frequently serves as a venting place for Microsoft employees,
wrote in a Jan. 27 posting discussing the earnings.
"It will be intriguing to see what leadership steps in or up and what happens to Bob's current team. And who might be next. Bets?"

Annie Calovich: After the heat wave, what plants have survived, thrived?
I had been wondering, when the temperatures were unceasingly in the 100s, how the 90s could possibly feel.
Now I know. Actually livable.
I hope our plants recover some of their vitality now that they are not being relentlessly baked. I hope the rainfall they've gotten in the past week has been enough to do them some good.
While our memories are still sharp from the heat wave (and no, I'm not suggesting that we're out of the woods for this year), we should acknowledge survivors and, more importantly, thrivers.
No plant should have been without water this summer. So take note of shrubs and perennials and trees that have done just fine with the proper care. Those that are receiving water and thriving are keepers. Those that aren't getting water and are still managing to live — they get their own gold star. But we may want to wait a while to assess their long-term health before we deem them keepers.
You probably have joined me in seeing one reliable flowering shrub around town this summer: the crape myrtle. Its usually medium-pink flowers have often been the only spot of color in an increasingly drab landscape.
Crape myrtles like lots of sun and water. But they have a long taproot so eventually become pretty drought resistant.
This summer is teaching lessons beyond plant choice. In particular, it is pointing up the need to place a plant in the right location. For example, community forester Tim McDonnell of the Kansas Forest Service points out, redbuds are, by nature, understory trees. This means that they flourish under outcroppings or under other trees, somewhat sheltered. But we tend to put them where they'll fill an empty hole in the yard, without the tenet of a layered garden. And redbuds planted out in the middle of a yard are crashing this summer, Tim says. We maybe got away with the out-in-the-open scenario in better-weather years. But there was no place for this mistake to hide this year.
I wrote a couple of weeks ago about how Titan Pure White vinca is looking great at the Extension Center entrances. Brenda Meyer wrote me that she planted some three years ago.
"The following year I had a whole bunch of volunteers where I had planted them," Brenda wrote, "and they filled in the area more than the first year. So last year when the second year of volunteers came up, I moved some of the volunteers here and there in my garden. So this year I had volunteer plants coming up in several areas.
"They have done well in all this heat and they are so eye-catching and quite striking in the evening. Not only have I not had to replace them each year, but they have turned out to be a perennial, in the sense that they come back each year, just as beautiful as the year before and with more plants.
"I know some people don't have patience for seedlings to grow, but they end up being so healthy, as their root system is well established. Yay for any flower that can handle this extreme heat!"
Crape myrtles prefer full sun when they receive a moderate amount of water, says Cheryl Boyer, a nursery crops specialist at K-State. In the South they grow more as trees than shrubs; in Kansas they die back over a cold winter. Check the zone when you buy one; some aren't hardy here. You can increase their chances by growing them in a protected spot (there's the good location again) — next to a building or in the understory of larger trees, Boyer says.
And check the mature size that the crape myrtle will get. It comes in many sizes, and you will not be able to maintain a certain size if it's getting too big for a certain spot in your yard.
Crape myrtles make the list of plants that are good for a bee garden — a big feather in their cap for me.
Drop me an e-mail or a note with the names of your summertime gems. While microclimates differ from yard to yard, we all need to learn from one another.

"After receiving the invitations of the same design , I ordered these Thank you cards for my daughter to give to her at her shower. I am recommending these Thank you cards. They are beautiful."
"I ordered these to match my invites. They are simple and timeless. I ordered the silverberry paper with the silver foiling. The design is amazing, I just wish the silver would've popped better, but that's soothing I kew would happen because of the closeness in colors. Over-all I am extremely happy and satisfied! LOVE my invites and thank you cards!"
"I had ordered a menu card to use as a Thank You card. Kristen called to help me with my ordered and suggested that I use the response card. I put a picture of us on the front and below it said Thank you and our names. On the back "Thank you for attending our wedding and for those that could not make it you were missed" Blessings & Love It showed up in 5 days. The card is beautiful and just what I wanted. The customer service was excellent!"
"Exactly what we were looking for! They shipped extremely quickly too, way faster than was expected. They look great too!"
"Not only did I get my thank you cards from wedding paper divas, but all of my wedding invitations which were stunning and flawless!!"

Sponsor a cat. Some cats just don't get adopted. Some are old. Some did not have the advantage of living among nice people when they were babies and so they are fearful. Some have medical issues. These cats still need a home and someone to love them. We are very fortunate to have foster homes who care for these cats for whom no one else wants to care. If you cannot adopt, maybe consider sponsoring one of these kitties.
Volunteer your time helping animals. We need your help! We need you to advocate for the humane care of all companion animals and feral cats.
Donate items: NVHS volunteers feed many foster cats as well as feral and neighborhood cats. We are always in need of cat food - canned and dry. Our cats are not fussy but they are hungry. If you are going to donate cat food, please stretch your dollar as far as possible and buy well-priced reasonable quality food.
Spay/neuter your own pet. Every year, millions of healthy adoptable companion animals are killed in overcrowded shelters in the United States due simply to overpopulation. Through responsible pet ownership and spay/neuter, someday every pet will have the loving home he or she deserves. You can be part of the solution by spay/neutering your own pet.
Success Stories:
Poor Reesey was very near death when she was rescued by an NVHS volunteer. We have no idea how she became a stray but we can only be thankful she was rescued when she was. One of the many good things about foster homes is that we get to observe the cats personalities and learn if they get along with other cats or dogs.
Low Cost Spay/Neuter Clinic Schedule
Over 70% of cats entering shelters are killed due to overpopulation. Please be part of the solution - spay/neuter your pet and avoid accidental litters.

Events for 2014
October 16th - November 15th
Donate canned cat food to Neponset Valley Humane Society in celebration of the 13th Annual National Feral Cat Day, October 16th.
The Neponset Valley Humane Society will hold their Annual Cat Food Collection for one month beginning on October 16th through November 15. The Food Drive is one of many events taking place across the country to raise awareness about cats who have not had the benefit of being socialized with humans and therefore must make the outdoors their home. Feral cats are the same species as our pet cats. National Feral Cat Day also recognizes all those compassionate volunteers who provide daily care for these outdoor cats.
Neponset Valley Humane Society provides free spay/neuter and advice on how to best help feral cats in your yard.
Neponset Valley Humane Society, with their all-volunteer group, work tirelessly to trap, spay / neuter and return these animals to the place they know as home. Providing food and shelter is an integral part of this important program. Every day, NVHS volunteers feed well over 125 outdoor cats.
You can help by donating canned cat food. The cats' favorite foods are Friskies and 9 Lives canned food. Drop-off locations are listed on neponsethumane.org. Volunteers are available to pick up large donations at your home, email firstname.lastname@example.com or call 781 769 1990 to arrange for a pick-up.
Please take a minute during your next grocery shopping trip to remember the innocent cats who rely on your generosity and the kindness of volunteers for a meal each day.
Drop-off locations are:
Norwood: Hannaford Supermarket, 434 Walpole Street
Stoughton: All Season Tree Service, 73 Kinsley Street
Walpole: Marilyn's Hair Design, 1331 Main Street
West Bridgewater: Solara Salon & Day Spa, 320 West Center Street

Says Experimental Medicine: A magnificent human drama. Says The Economist: Ms Fox's book captures the adventures of scientists working towards this medical ambition with a realistic humanity...refreshingly unideological. Says The Times Literary Supplement: A very entertaining and readable presentation, replete with charming and highly personal stories about the researchers in the world of stem cells and their venues, addressing these issues and many more with scholarship and thoroughness. Says Science magazine: The knowledge she acquired in her journeys is astonishing in range and depth...The author's fascination with 'science trouncing science fiction,' the potential of stem cells, and our desire to learn what happens next make this a rare can't-put-it-down science book. Says The Journal of Law and Medicine: A fascinating and accessible work. Says CLCD (Science Books and Films): This work beautifully paints a picture of the global landscape of stem cell research."

Mechanical Components » Hardware » Motor Brackets »Pololu Extended Stamped Aluminum L-Bracket Pair for Plastic GearmotorsThese extended aluminum gearmotor brackets let you securely mount our larger Pololu plastic gearmotors (228:1 offset, 120:1 offset, 200:1 90-degree, and 120:1 90-degree) to your project. The extended "neck" on these brackets allows for a large variety of mounting options. These brackets are sold in pairs, and each bracket comes with two 1″ long #2-56 screws for securing motors to the bracket. Each bracket features four mounting holes and one mounting slot intended for #4-size screws (not included). Compare all products in Motor Brackets.
These light-weight brackets (approximately 2.5 g each) are specifically designed for our larger Pololu plastic gearmotors (228:1 offset, 120:1 offset, 200:1 90-degree, and 120:1 90-degree). Each bracket features four mounting holes and one mounting slot intended for #4-size screws (not included), giving you a variety of mounting options. We also carry a more compact version of this bracket that mounts the motor 0.25″ (6.4 mm) closer to the mounting hole surface, though this reduces the number of possible mounting orientations. A total of four 1″ long #2-56 screws and #2-56 hex nuts are included for securing our 228:1 offset, 120:1 offset, 200:1 90-degree, and 120:1 90-degree plastic gearmotors to the brackets. Only two screws are used to mount a motor to each bracket. To save space, the bracket can be oriented so that the mounting screws are located between the motor and the surface, and the extra space between the bracket and motor allows for another mounting option in which the surface being mounted to is located between the motor and bracket. These brackets also work with the Solarbotics plastic gearmotors (GM2, GM3, GM8, and GM9), although different length mounting screws might be required. The following drawing shows the bracket dimensions in mm.

I am applying to Randolph College and I have also visited the campus. I found it to be one of the most beautiful and welcoming places I have ever been, I was really surprised at that type of environment for a school. The people were nice, the environment was very peaceful. Randolph college hasa family-like feel to it. I can't wait to move on campus!!!!
