Circle Journal
Thursday, 27 December 2012
The Crafters Anonymous group that I belong to, hosted a circle journal swap this year. This is where each member of the group created a 6 x 6 journal / scrapbook with their chosen theme and the first pages completed, then they sent their journal to the next swap member who completed some more pages. The journal kept going around all the members until it made a full circle back the original owner, all finished and full of creativity!
My theme was birdhouses with quotes about life. I decided to do this after I had received a lovely card from an Australian Stampin' Up! demonstrator with a birdhouse on it.
Here is the front of my circle journal:
The blackbird is made from a small oval punch with a piece punched out of the top and then made into a wing.
One of my pages, with the main birdhouse cased from a card by Cathy Pinchbeck.
A further page, using stickers from my stash and retired Stampin' Up! papers. The roofs of the two smaller birdhouses are made from the retired photo corner punch.
I don't have room here to showcase all the work from the other ladies but here is a couple of them...
Another trio of bird houses created by Dee Sturgeon.
A blue birdhouse with mother and baby bird by Flo Hill-Rennie.
Maybe you could form your own group to make your own circle journals. Our subjects were so varied and the journal themselves were all so very different. We gave ourselves a month to complete our pages and then pass on to the next person.

Re visiting Retired Products
Friday, 14 December 2012
This Christmas holiday period Stampin Up! is bringing some products out of retirement and are selling them super cheap for a limited time only. Check out the specials and promotions page for more details.
I decided to use some of my retired products for this weeks blog...
Baby Girl Card
Uses retired designer series paper and a retired flower punch (for the baby bird's tail). I took my punch art ideas from the birds in the paper. Just love their different tails and so gave the male bird the bigger more impressive tail and the females more sedate tails.
Teacher Farewell
This uses retired stamps, (alphabet, apple and ruler) and retired spiral punch. The scissors and pencil punch art are from Cristy Butzen, although I changed the handles on my scissors a little.
Twenty First Birthday
This last card uses retired cardstock, blush blossom. I think the colour looks great. It is soft and pretty and will suit my daughter's friend very well. I used dazzling details glitter glue on the numbers, (numbers die is also retired).
I have one more thing to show you and it is not a Stampin' Up! product.
It is a clever Christmas treat that I was given by one of my customers.
A melting snowman biscuit-
Just use a round wine biscuit for the base, use runny icing to add a marshmellow and then add on the details with coloured icing pens.
Here is a side view.
Enjoy your Christmas Holidays
Remember Jesus is the Reason for the Season

Builder Wheel Stamps
Friday, 30 November 2012
Hello and thanks for visiting this week. I have to let those of you who visit my site regularly know that I am going to be very busy over the next two months. My eldest child is getting married and I have overseas visitors coming and going. So I will only be adding a post to my website every fortnight instead of every week.
Simple and Clean Christmas Card
This Christmas card is made with the snowflake party builder wheel but instead of using the handle, I just wheeled it freehand to get the curves I wanted.
You do have a lot of control with the narrow builder wheel stamps if you still put the wheel stamp on the spindle with a spacer at each end. Just hold the spacers and the wheel will roll freely and you can direct it where ever you want.
This next card was made for a friend who is a wonderful dressmaker. (She is sewing my daughter's bridesmaid dress.) I used the measuring stick builder stamp, curved it, then coloured it with stampin' pastels. The other stamps come from a retired stamp set, with the exception of the clockworks stamp which I tried to turn into an embroidery hoop only to discover afterwards that Stampin Up! actually sells a proper embroidery hoop stamp in the "Hoop La La" stamp set. LOL
Just Add Music
Monday, 19 November 2012
I have put two entries into the Just Add Inks Challenge # 144 this week.
The challenge is to include music somewhere in your project. I love my music notes wheel stamp and use it a lot, so I really enjoyed creating some new cards for this week's challenge.
My first card is made with a vintage style and uses the Papaya Collage Stamp set.
Here is the inside of the card. I often leave the insides of my cards fairly plain but I have been inspired by Teneale Williams (an Australian Stampin' Up! demonstrator) who makes amazing cards that are a real work of art, with the inside as beautiful as the outside.
Musical Christmas
Here is my second entry. It uses some of the stamps from Scentsational Season, Curly Cute and of course the music notes wheel.
Colour Challenge
Monday, 12 November 2012
I was stuck for ideas this week and so decided to enter the Just Add Ink Challenge #143. This week it was a colour challenge...
I had to make a card or scrapbook page using the colours below. I definately faced a challenge with the colour combo...
Here is my entry - Lovebirds!
My friend has an outside aviary with lovebirds in and one is exactly these colours, so that was my inspiration and of course I just love using my two step bird punch!
I also made a Christmas card using tha colour combo above and my new stamp set called "Chock full of Cheer".
Thanks for visiting

Treasure Chests
Saturday, 03 November 2012
This week I have a couple of cool boxes to show you.
The first is this pretty treasure box that I made in my early days as a Stampin' Up! demonstrator. It was a hit with my school holiday class. (They were all girls.)
The second is perfect for the boys. I wanted something more like a traditional treasure chest (rather than adapting the one above) so that I could use for a pirate themed program that we are helping to run in the Christmas holidays.
I was pleased to find a basic pattern in a old UK magazine from 2001. I glad I haven't thrown any of those old craft magazines out yet!
I made the key hold from the small oval punch and the tag punch (trimmed at the bottom). I have embellished the edges with small trinket brads, which are just perfect for this project.
And of course no treasure chest is complete without treasure inside!
Thanks for visiting, from Rhonda
All About Christmas
Sunday, 28 October 2012
I have been away for a weeks holiday at Hanmer Springs in the South Island. It was so relaxing and I feel very blessed that my husband and I were able to take some much needed time away by ourselves. We even experienced a light falling of snow on the day we arrived. Very special for a north islander like me... So that's why I didn't post any pictures last week.
This week I have some Christmas things to inspire you. The first is some treats I made for my customers who came to the Tauranga Christmas Extravaganza. The reindeer sweet treats are made with a variety of our Stampin' Up! punches and the new long and narrow cellophane bags. Stampin' Up! sells them for NZ$5.50 for a packet of 50. Another favourite Stampin' Up! product is the glimmer paper, which is a light weight glitterly cardboard. I used the red glimmer paper to make the reindeer noses.
Centre Step Card
This card features the Glimmer Paper in silver. It is also available in Champagne (a bronze colour). This centre step card is a big square card and is designed to fit in the large square envelopes that Stampin' Up! sells.
Card inside; you can see the "steps" which give the card its name. The greeting inside works well with the Merry Christmas and Happy New Year stamps on the outside and is from the new stamp set, More Merry Messages.
Something New
Monday, 15 October 2012
Christmas Deer
I am featuring some new stamp sets today in order to take part in Just Add Ink's weekly challenge (JAI 139) - Just Add Something New!
This narrow pocket card was the one I taught at the Tauranga extravaganza last weekend. It was inspired by a swap I received a couple of years back from Debbie Airey. The one I recieved from Debbie had a coffee sachet in the pocket, but you could put in vouchers, money or other sachets of goodies. For the extravaganza we made gift tags to go inside the pocket.
Inside of the card, decorated with some of the stamps from Delightful decorations stamp set.
A close up of the tags using delightful decorations and the new stamp set - Chock Full of Cheer.
The sentiment on the front of the pocket card is also from the Chock full of Cheer set.
Other new products are the Mitten Builder punch, Gumball Green ink, Gumball Green card and the Dazzling Details glitter glue which you have to look closely to see on the photo but you can make out a hint of the glitter on the mitten.
Finally, I like to buy stamp sets that I know I can use for more than one occassion and the Christmas Deer is also able to be used for masculine cards like this one below. The antlers are drawn in with a marker pen.

Contingency plan in place for any eventuality in Korea – Palace
MANILA, Philippines – The Philippines isn't taking lightly North Korea's "declaration of war'' with South Korea and threats to attack US bases in South Korea and the Pacific.
President Benigno Aquino III has directed the Department of Foreign Affairs to alert Filipinos in South Korea and prepare them for any eventuality in the Korean peninsula, Malacañang said Sunday.
At the President's orders, embassy officials in Seoul were now coordinating with Filipino community leaders "on steps to be taken pertinent to the situation'' in the Korean peninsula, Secretary Edwin Lacierda said.
"The President is being updated on the situation in the Korean Peninsula. The President has directed the DFA to ensure that the Philippine embassy in Korea coordinate with the Filipino community there,'' the presidential spokesperson said in a text message to reporters.
Secretary Herminio Coloma of the Presidential Communications Operations Office said the DFA was tasked with "ensuring the safety of Filipinos'' and that contingency plans were in place.
North Korea last Saturday declared it had entered into a "state of war'' with South Korea and warned both the US and South Korea that any provocation would escalate into an all-out nuclear war.
The US took the announcement "seriously'' but observed it followed a familiar pattern while South Korea dismissed it as an old threat in a new form.
North Korea had put its missile units on standby Friday to attack US bases in South Korea and the Pacific, a day after the US flew two stealth bombers over South Korea on practice runs.
North Korea has issued a flurry of threats since early this month when the US and South Korea began routine military drills. The US and South Korea said the drills were purely defensive in nature.
The two Koreas have technically remained at war because the 1950-53 Korean War concluded with an armistice instead of a peace treaty.
Coloma said the government has contingency plans for any nuclear fallout.
"The NDRRMC (National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council) has a continuing contingency plan to respond to external threats, including previous missiles launched from the two Koreas. We maintain a posture of vigilance and adherence to diplomatic modes of conflict resolution,'' he said in a text to reporters.

For this installment of Photoshop for Designers, Nigel French explains the fundamentals of working with type in Photoshop, distinguishing when it is appropriate to set type in Photoshop rather than InDesign or Illustrator and what makes Photoshop unique for certain type treatments. This course demonstrates essential techniques, such as entering and editing text; interacting with type layers; and adjusting the color, transparency, character and paragraph formatting of type.
It's possible to warp our type in Photoshop and retain that type as still being live editable type. So here is an example of some warped type, and warped type has this appearance. This is what its layer thumbnail looks like, just to indicate that you have a warp applied to it. So if I select that and then come and click on my Warping options up here on the Tool options, we can see that this has an arch applied to it. There are 15 different warping effects. They are exactly the same effects as you have in Illustrator.
What you can't do is you can't combine them, which you may find a little bit limiting, and there may be some things you need to do that require you to go beyond warping your text. So warping may get you so far, at which point you may then need to convert your type to a shape layer, and then you can pull around as much as you want. But at that point of course it's not any longer editable as type. But what we're going to do here in this movie is just stay with editable live type just using the standard warp effects.
So I'm going to turn that one off, and we're just going to recreate this, and I'll select it right there. We'll come and click on the warp. I'll choose my style. Then we just pull it around whichever way we want it to go. Now since we want this to be in the other way, I'm going to make it a negative amount, like so. We can also add in horizontal and vertical distortion. You'll see that these effects, they all have horizontal and vertical distortion. If you were to actually turn the effect down to zero, the horizontal and vertical distortion is the same on each of these different effects.
So you will see in a movie coming up, how we can just use the horizontal and vertical distortion effectively and sort of ignore the actual effect itself, but this was just an arch, like so. Well, let me just show you some other examples. This one, we got two pieces of warped type here and that's another tip: sometimes you may need to split your type on two separate layers to get the effect that you want. Here we have an arch of +44 and here we have the bulge.
So we are combining them here, but they are two distinct effects applied to two distinct layers. Here is an example of a flag. As you can see from the words that I've chosen and the way I have treated them, these kind of effects, they almost cry out for some sort of fairground treatment and that's also partly influenced by where I live. You have obviously seen these types of nostalgic postcards from seaside places, and this combines the use of a Rise effect with a clipping mask and we saw this in an earlier chapter.
This image is clipped to this piece of type. As I'm sure you're aware, you can mix and match all of these techniques and if were to unclip this image by holding down the Alt or Option key, it would look like that. And then when we Alt+Click or Option+Click on the line between them, the image is clipped to the type area. This one is squeeze and also mentioned in the text itself, and this outer shape is just achieved by an outer glow. So if we just look at options there, we've just got a massively spread outer glow that's causing that to happen.
Consider this if you like a trailer for the Layer Effects title, which I'm also the author of, where we go into all these nondestructive layer effects. And then we have another fairground treatment again combined with layer effects. By itself, it wouldn't look so great, but when you add some of these layer effects to it, it actually becomes quite effective. So that's the wave effect. As I said, there are 15 of them, and all that's just a sample off them.
Check them out, see if you like them, and if you don't, the good news is you've not done any damage to your type because you can always turn them off and you are back to the way you began.

Introduction The first thing that comes to mind when one comes across the 'Dietician vs. Nutritionist' dilemma, is the phrase 'the devil is in the detail'. At first impression, both these words seem scholarly enough as you need to go through four syllables to pronounce both words.
Another observation about these words is that they sound terribly important that only a person who is accustomed to chastising his clients (by giving these poor indulgent souls veggie-only meals, perhaps) and uses them to describe his designation in the profession of healthcare.
Your first response: Pffuuit! Who cares?
But once you begin to frequent the doctors' for medical check-ups… and he tells you to watch out, perhaps the questions below arise on being required to consult an expert on the kind of food you're allowed to have and more pertinently, not have.
Is there a difference? So what? Why bother? Is it such a big deal anyways? How will knowing the difference between the two (if there is a difference) affect me?
All very pertinent questions that will be answered if you read on…
Dietician vs Nutritionist: Let's dig a little deeper… The first thing here is that there's a difference. In more ways that one.
So let me explain with an example: If I gave you the option to consult a psychologist or a voodoo-man, who would you choose?
Most sane people would choose a psychologist.
They're well equipped by conventional standards of medicine [Read: by virtue of their qualifications] to look after the well-being of their clients by knowing enough in their area of specialization to refer to them as their patients.
This nice little analogy also applies to the Dietician vs Nutritionist, where the nutritionist is the quack (voodoo man, empath, astrologer… pick your poison, really), and the psychologist is the Dietician.
And as always, your education can play a large role in determining whether you're going to make a sizeable amount of amount compared to your street-smart counterparts (leaving out anomalies such as Bill Gates and Steve Jobs out of course).
Actually, to be regarded as a registered dietician, you'll have to complete a bachelor's degree with an area of specialization from an accredited university just like any other doctor.
Yes, just like the one you visit for your regular check-ups. No, not the voodoo man that you spend 5 cents a minute calling, to find out what the future holds. Perhaps, for reasons related to a strange mixture of mirth, boredom and curiosity.
But I digress.
This also involves taking (and most importantly, passing) an exam much like lawyers who have to take the 'bar' exam.
But of course, this does not mean that nutritionists don't know anything about the value of nutrients in the food, and can't make valid recommendations. They do, but they're not experts in nutritional science like dieticians are.
As I said, the education that provides them legal certification makes the difference here.
In Closing All dieticians are nutritionists but nutritionists aren't dieticians unless they decide to study the subject in greater detail. I hope that's simple enough to understand the difference between the two. Here's a video that drives that point home.
So when it comes to choosing between old grandmother's remedies (and recipes) and consulting a doctor on any serious health issues, I'm sure you'll understand that the dietician is the person to go to.

The hornfaced bee, also known as the orchard bee (Osmia cornifrons) is named for the prominent horn-like prongs located on the lower part of its face. The hornfaced bee is brownish-colored with light stripes on the abdomen. Males are smaller than females and have long antennae.
These bees are native to Japan, but were introduced to the United States in the 1970's. Populations are now established on the east coast and in the mid-west. These bees nest in hollow reeds or grasses.

This isn't your average forest. What once was a 20th century shipwreck of the SS Ayrfield has eventually turned into a floating forest of sorts, thus showing that not even death is permanent.
Five Amazing Sunken Forests
Submerged and sunken forests are a haunting natural occurrence of ages-old trees whose remains are usually buried for thousands of years before being uncovered by changes in sea level and/or erosion. Here…
Bulgaria's Radiant Rhodope Mountains
Home to Karst caves and medieval castles alike, Bulgaria's Rhodope Mountains are truly a sight to behold. While Rhodope translates roughly as "rusty river," there is nothing beaten down about its timeless beauty.
Colorado's Amber-Colored Aspen Forest
This is why I look forward to Autumn every year.
Poland's Cool Crooked Forest
Planted in 1930 and found just outside Nowe Czarnowo, West Pomerania, the reason for these pine trees' mysterious shape and the resulting crooked forest is unknown:
Some speculate it is the result of human hands, but regardless, the crooked forest of Poland is fascinating! If you enjoyed this photograph, be sure to check out the world's most amazing trees!

Review: Broadway Palm eagles out with golf farce "Fox on the Fairway"
What: A farce about rival golf clubs slugging it out, with a silly bet on the line.
When: Tuesday through Sunday evenings with selected matinees through May 4.
Where: 1380 Colonial Boulevard, Fort Myers (in Royal Palm Square)
Cost: $18 to $49; show-only tickets available.
Information: 239-278-4422 or broadwaypalm.com
On the Web: More theater news in the Stage Door blog at naplesnews.com/stage
You can't turn left without going past a golf course in Southwest Florida. Little wonder then that Will Prather snapped up silly country club comedy "The Fox on the Fairway" to close the Off-Broadway Palm's season.
Two rival golf clubs. A prodigy with a broken arm. A priceless vahze. A $200,000 wager. Granny's engagement ring. The Golf Channel. Oprah. Raw oysters. Champagne. There's even a couple putters, a driver and few golf balls knocking about the stage. Sounds like a recipe for a disaster on stage and laughter in the seats!
Ken Ludwig writes sturdy, if not spectacular, farces like "Lend Me a Tenor" and "Moon Over Buffalo." While "Fox" amuses, the plot gets thin; worse, comedic sand traps like "She kissed my balls for good luck" litter the script. I winced; the crowd cheered as if celebrating Tiger Woods marching up the fairway at Augusta in April 1997.
The show itself is a silly bit of fluff. There's a bet, some golf and people getting upset over outrageous nothings. It all blows up in the first hour and calms down in the second. The fun, of course, is watching it happen. Gulfshore Playhouse produced a version almost exactly one year ago.
Full credit to director Paul Bernier. He gets every inch I thought possible out of "Fox" - and then some. The show has it all: visual puns (so many hideous golf outfits); a chase scene; lipstick smears; a drunk woman (with hysterical blindness) using a putter as a cane; Kelly Legarreta stomping around on these tiny little platform wedge shoes.
Even in the small Off-Broadway Palm space, the show retained a strong energy and solid momentum, although it never reaches the giddy heights of a true farce. I would love to see Bernier tackle the show on a larger stage that would allow for more physicality in the staging, like chase scenes, slamming or swinging doors and other pratfalls.
Paul Kerr brings a bulldog's playfulness to hapless Quail Valley director Bingham. Barking, bullying, then cowering at the first sign of a greater aggression. A drunken flirtation with Serena Vesper's too-sexy Pamela Peabody brings laughs. Their dizzy chemistry and absurd antics (plus Vesper's tight costumes) will have you in stitches.
Jim Heffernan delights as hard-nosed, crooked, mustachioed Dickie Bell, the villain-in-chief at Crouching Squirrel. He sneers. He leers. He mixes metaphors, wears ugly sweaters and even more hideous pants (Where does Jim Conti find them?). Every club has seven more like him. You'll love him!
Legarreta comes near to stealing the show as bruising Muriel. From husband-beating entrance to sex-addled exit, she creates a hilarious character. Her mole/beauty spot is a true work of art.
Rachael Endrizzi (Louise) and Sean Riley (Justin) get to play silly, goofy young lovers, complete with squeals, squawks, tears and fits. The "I flushed Granny's heirloom engagement ring down the toilet" scene is clearly as much fun for the actors as it is for the audience.
"The Fox on the Fairway" (the title is never explained) serves up laughs, putts, champagne, love affairs and more. No shanks, no slices and plenty of nice, easy fairways! And of course, there's a hospitality cart! Look for Kelly Legarreta's loudmouth Muriel, but wait till she shows her tender side. And try not to how too loud at Dickie Bell's amazingly dreadful wardrobe!

Choose the right stain for your exterior projects
Unlike paint, which coats the surface, stains penetrate and allow the natural texture of the substrate (surface being stained) to show through. Whether you choose to accent the grain with a semi-transparent stain or mask the grain with an opaque stain, all stains provide some measure of substrate protection. This protective quality is highly important for exterior applications. Exterior stains are primarily used on wood siding and shingles, decks, outdoor structures and furniture. Before you learn about all of your available options, use these questions to start thinking about what your project needs are:
Quality, Type, Life and Surface Preparation
It's always important to buy high-quality stains or paints to protect substrates, but it's especially important when it comes to exterior projects. Exterior surfaces and furniture are subjected to harsh conditions day in and day out, from moisture and wind to direct sunlight and fluctuating temperatures. A good stain will last longer, saving you money and time spent on refinishing, so be sure to think about long-term benefits in addition to initial cost.
Water-Based vs. Oil-Based: Like paints, stains are available in oil-based and water-based formulas. Water-based stains offer better adhesion to surfaces that have been previously painted or stained with oil-based stain. Water-based stains are also recommended for woods that have a natural resistance to rotting, such as cedar, redwood and cypress. Oil-based stains are generally recommended for decks and other areas exposed to particularly harsh conditions. There are some newer latex/oil stains that offer benefits of both oil- and water-based stains.
|Stain Base
|Major Advantages
|Water-based(latex; acrylic)
Opacity and Color: Opacity determines the amount of visible wood grain on the surface. A finish with low opacity will have less pigmentation, resulting in a natural wood grain appearance. If you select a stain with a high level of opacity, there will be more pigmentation, resulting in the wood grain being covered or masked. Color is closely related to opacity. Lower opacity levels will allow the wood's natural color to show through. Higher opacity levels will mask the wood color with the stain's pigment, achieving a painted look without losing the texture of the wood.
|What You Should Know
|Semi-Solid Stains
|Semi-Transparent Stains
|Solid (Opaque) Stains
Life: Life is how long the finish or stain lasts. Once again, opacity is an important factor in determining the longevity of a stain product. A stain with a low opacity level contains less pigment and will generally have a shorter life. The more pigments present in the stain/finish, the longer the product life will be. Stain life is reduced on surfaces that are highly trafficked or exposed to harsh conditions.
Surface Preparation: Make sure you take the time to prepare the surface prior to staining. If you don't, you'll end up wasting more time in the long run because even the best stains won't last if the surface isn't prepared correctly. If the surface has been painted or sealed previously, the paint or seal should be removed. Once bare, the surface needs to be clean, dry and free of mildew, dust and loose wood fibers.
Gel Stains: Oil-based gel stains resist drips and won't raise the grain of wood. Because gel stains don't penetrate deeply, they offer more control but tend to require more coats to achieve the desired color.
Mildew Resistance: Water-based stains are all mildew-resistant. Oil-based stains, on the other hand, can encourage mildew growth, so look for ones that specifically say they are mildew-resistant if you're going with oil.
Safety: Water-based stains are safer for people because they don't produce harmful fumes and they're not flammable. They are also more environmentally friendly. Oil-based stains contain more VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds), which cause air pollution. Oil-based stains and the rags used with them require special disposal to prevent fire and pollution.
To make your projects faster, easier and better looking, you need the right rollers, sprayers, brushes and other applicators.

N.J.-Based Pest Control Company Using 'Tool of the Future' to Kill Bed Bugs – Instant Freeze Technology is Completely 'Green'
Instant Freeze is a Swedish technology that kills bed bugs, their eggs and larvae by freezing them with carbon dioxide "dry ice" snow. The procedure is completely safe and can be used in any environment, including food processing and healthcare facilities, commercial and residential establishments. Instant Freeze is safe to use in homes with children and pets, with fine furnishings and textiles; on high-tech equipment like computers and games. Best of all there is no lag time; treatment does not require evacuation and rooms can be immediately reoccupied.
"In the early 1980′s, we eliminated pesticides to control insects and rodents that were infesting the pharmaceutical companies," said
BES has been working seven days a week, along with their K-9 bed bug dogs, due to the ever-increasing regional bed bug epidemic. BES says the best way to get rid of bed bugs is to eliminate them in their hiding places, which these days, is more than just in mattresses Bed bugs harbor in cracks and crevices, suitcases, purses and briefcases and even in computers themselves.
BES is known for its high quality of customer service. "In the twenty years or so since we've been using Bell, we rarely and I mean rarely have an infestation," said
Bell Environmental Services was established in 1963 by

Poul Jorgensen
Danish salmon fly tyer
By Martin joergensen
Laksefluer (Salmon Flies), by Poul Jorgensen
Poul Jorgensen's new book will be out in English
Danish-American Poul Jorgensen's new book on salmon flies was written in English and translated to Danish, and will be out in English through the publisher of the original salmon fly book 'Salmon Flies - Their Character, Style, and Dressing'.
This was what the Danish publisher Morten Valeur and Poul Jorgensen himself told me during a recent book signing session in a tackle shop here in Copenhagen. Jorgensen was in the middle of a Danish road show with tying shows, classes and book signing as a part of the marketing of the new Danish book which has already sold very well.
Jorgensen mentioned the fact that he was very pleased to have a book out in Danish, but I am sure that many foreign fly tyers will be happy to hear the the book will be accessible in English too. It's an excellent book and a fine heir to Jorgensen's classic.

The UpTake: If you're thinking about getting into crowdfunding, do your research. This infographic provides insight into how to get started, and a look at the different platforms.
L ike other parts of the startup world that have found great success, the crowdfunding world has gotten pretty crowded.
That's why the United Kingdom-based Choice Loan took the time to compare and contrast the different crowdfunding platforms. Its infographic ranges from a closer look at crowdfunding names you know such as Kickstarter, to specialized ones like Syndicate Room which focus on equity/investment schemes.
Included in the infographic are details on dollar amount of all projects funded, success stories and reviews of the platforms. Click on any part of the infographic below to see the full interactive.

I did change the wording some and they made it look natural and seemless. I also had a special request for a poem to be printed on the back which turned out beautifully since the design continued onto the back. Overall my fiancé and I are very satisfied with our wedding invites!"

Good question. All the diving/underwater photography was done off the coast of Mahahual. The dive operator was the Maya Palms, using rented boats from town. They were 15 foot sciffs. We had tentatively planned to dive Dos Ojos, but had to make a choice once in Mahahual. Dos Ojos are near Tulum, and that would have driven us north after the middle weekend of diving. Ultimately, that would have been cool, and as a result we would have looped to Merida and Campeche, but we really wanted to get to Chiapas, so that's what we did. The cenotes will be dived, but on another trip. Like a lot of Mexico that you pass by on a motorcycle to get to one great destination or another, "it isn't going anywhere", and I'll get there, eventually, ojala.

Hola, Miguel. RE SPOT: I put fresh lithium batteries in the thing and started it in the driveway. It didn't miss a ping any of the 14 days. I'll not post the ping tracks in this RR since I am using map capture anyway to tell a more complete story. The family of course used the SPOT daily as well as the group of friends that met us in Mahahual. They flew down to meet us and used the SPOT to guage our progress. SPOT is too cheap and too easy to use, and for the feedback it gives friends and family, I'll never travel long distances without it.

See above re cenotes. Next time, and there will be a next time, probably soon.
We are walking Las Pozas the morning of the second day in Mexico. We are within an easy one day ride to Mexico City. If you stage at the border and cross in the morning, your range in Mexico is incredible. We would be back tracking on Mex 120 after Pozas, to get back on 85 and make the turn to the mountains at Tamazunchale. The mountains definitely slow you down. But distances in Mexico are tantalizing. At the same time, you can make great time but be slowed by curvas peligrosas and topes. It depends on what you ride, and what condition it is in.

jawa 05 scooter lacks power.
so i picked up this mid 60's jawa 05 50cc scooter (i couldn't pass - looks like a mini cezeta to me) it had sat a long time, motor was very mildly stuck - i pulled head - tapped on piston mildly, and it was unstuck.
it starts easy, idles good, pulls nice in first gear. but that's it. riding along and shift to second and it loses power, revs drop and eventually stalls. i can downshift to first and it'll recover and rev/run like it should. it's only 3hp or so - and i weigh 190lbs - so i don't know if i'm being optimistic as it should pull me up a slight hill in 2nd/3rd (it doesn't now)...
so i set the points (didn't adjust timing), made sure the exhaust wasn't plugged, cleaned carb, new plug. no love. same issues.
i'm guessing either the rings are stuck in the lands, the rings are wore, bore is outta spec, or timing is off. there's no air leaks, and compression is so-so......
it also could be - wet side crank seal (that's grasping at straws..)..it does not smoke excessively, jetting, but i doubt it - i tried moving the needle around, and thoroughly cleaned jets, - it's a jikov carb, so the adjustability is almost nil..... could be worn slide/needle maybe? but it seems like it's not carb related, in 1st gear it pulls fine at all throttle positions. in 2nd gear no throttle position pulls at all. could be sprocket ratio (there are 5 different front sprockets available - maybe dpo geared it so high it wouldn't pull anything but first?)
i'm gonna check the timing and give it a try - otherwise it's a tear down and wait forever for parts - all the motor parts are available for it, it's just a long slow shipping process from eastern european countries..
anybody have any other ideas?
well timing was way off, but that did not help. plug reads good, it's gotta be compression issue, too high gearing, or dunno. when i shift to second/third it drags the motor way down - it has a clutch, it's fine in those gears when i have clutch pulled, so it's not the trans.
i think i have part of the problem figured out.
RE: timing
this is what one manual says: (and the spec i used)
"At this moment the piston should be 1,2 to1,5 mm
(7/64") before TDC"
another manual says
"ignition point 2.7 (7/64in) to 3mm (1/8in) before top dead centre"
soooo...... the only consistency is 7/64 which is 2.7mm - which is way more normal...
i was kinda wondering that .047" (1.2mm) btdc seemed way weird to me. 90% of 2 strokes i've done are timed .090" - .110" or so..
Have you tried decarbonizing the top end especially the exhaust port and you may have to decarbonize the exhaust. Oh, pictures please.
yeah i did all that.
timing adustement fixed some of it. maybe i'm just being optimistic about what a 50cc scooter should do.
Many, many years ago, I owned one of those little Jawa's.
They reach 45 ~ 50 km/h (28 ~ 31 mph) even carrying two adults.
Up-hills were not problem in second or first gear.
I would pressure test the crankcase, those crankshaft seals are probably too hard to prevent leaks (worsening performance at low rpm-wide open throttle).
I would verify the transmission for all gears by turning it by hand.
These little engines are more sensitive to poor rings-cylinder seal that to off-timing.
Best !!
maybe a leakdown test is in order. might be easier to just replace seals than to leakdown test it though :D

The Blue Room (La Chambre bleue)
By Alan Scherstuhl
American Pie directors Paul and Chris Weitz are remarkably faithful to the text in their film adaptation, lifting entire pages of dialogue along with the novel's rigid high-concept tidiness (Will has no friends; the credits list no fewer than four actresses as simply "Bitter Ex-Girlfriend"), self-satisfied pop referencing, and blithe sociopathy. Will (Hugh Grant), a London bounder with an inheritance, enjoys a commitment-free fling with a divorced parent and suspects he's stumbled on a mother lode. He fabricates a toddler and a desertion sob story to join an estrogen-dominated support group called SPAT, for "Single ParentsAlone Together." (The creep quotient hasn't reached such queasy heights in a cine-romance since rehabbing lout Ben Affleck hoodwinked grieving widow Gwyneth Paltrow in Bounce.) A SPAT picnic introduces Will to Marcus (Nicholas Hoult), a stoic 12-year-old equally bewildered by his bullying classmates and clinically depressed solo mum, Fiona (Toni Collette). Marcus catches on to Will's dissimulation in no time, which gives the lad leverage to conscript him as de facto baby-sitter and fount of disposable income. Soon he's posing (rather pointlessly) as Will's son to help earn the affections of sultry Rachel (Rachel Weisz).
Since the central odd couple have no rapport, their bond never seems to progress past mutual usurya weary-looking Grant has played the affably predatory cad too often (most recently in Bridget Jones's Diary), and Hoult recites his darndest things in uncomprehending singsong. Collette, meanwhile, does her best to anthropomorphize her daffy duck, who mostly quacks and blubbers. The book, set in 1993 and '94, invokes Kurt Cobain's descent with Fiona's suicide attempt and unresolved despair; the title summons Nirvana's raw-silk ballad "About a Girl." (The movie's cream-puff chamber pop is provided by Badly Drawn Boy's Damon Gough.) The Weitzes dispense with the original Cobain-haunted happy ending, opting for an improbable onstage redemption via "Killing Me Softly With His Song"a sentimental inversion of an episode of Mike Judge's comic-humanist landmark King of the Hill. (Newly empowered as a plus-size model, young Bobby is about to make his mall-catwalk debut when Dad drags him kicking and screaming from the scene, but the kid's dream deferred turns out to be a disaster averted.) There's something either mean or stupid about the triumph About a Boy finally contrives for Marcus: A film that takes hormonal grown-up deceit so magnanimously for granted shouldn't be so willfully naive about the unrelenting cruelty of children.
The sadism of adolescent boys is dispassionately chronicled in the hour-long documentary Standing by Yourself (at the Pioneer), a highlight of the recent New York Underground Film Festival. Director Josh Koury, himself a teenager when the movie was made in his upstate New York hometown, trains his camcorder on the fraying friendship between wry, bookish Adam (Josh's younger brother) and obnoxious punk poseur Siegfried, a budding white supremacist who ceaselessly hounds his mother for money. These restless high schoolers seem to have little in common except their propensity to troll for highsin their parents' pill stashes and the local drugstore's cough-medicine aisle. A crystalline curio of dumbshit nihilism shot through with fleeting pathos, Koury's home movie often evokes The Decline of Western Civilization Part III.

SANTA BARBARA--Perched on a rock, steps away from the gentle waves licking at the shore, 20-year-old Michael Jimenez allowed his eyes to wander up an oceanfront cliff, to a majestic estate nestled in a grove of cypress and eucalyptus trees. He shuddered.
For decades, mystery has shrouded the manor known as Bellosguardo, where every blade of grass seemed to be in place, but no one ever seemed to be home. Among young people like Jimenez, who grew up here, there were whispers about an abandoned orphan, about spirits from the nearby cemetery. You've heard the ancient legend of the girl who was born with every privilege, but cursed with the face of a pig?
"It's got to be something like that," Jimenez said. "Nobody's going up there."
The truth, as is sometimes the case, might have been better than the myth.
It was owned by a copper heiress — a shy woman who hadn't been photographed for 80 years, who lived an almost monastic life, cloistered away from a curious public, residing in a New York hospital room for her last 22 years despite being in sturdy health for most of that time. She had not set foot in Bellosguardo since the 1950s, but financed a full staff to maintain it, to the tune of $40,000 a month.
Now, two years after Huguette Clark's death, Santa Barbara is poised to open the doors of Bellosguardo for the first time in decades. If it happens, an enchanted public will discover a still life of old California — with a 1933 Cadillac limousine parked in the garage — and a snapshot of a bygone era when the wealthy could effectively purchase a piece of the sea.
"It's like a time capsule — a bluff-top estate that amazes, a house that is a page out of the Gilded Age," said Santa Barbara Mayor Helene Schneider. "Where else in California do you have this? You don't."
A public Bellosguardo, dedicated to the arts according to the wishes of its late owner, could be transformational to Santa Barbara's already lively cultural community, and regionally significant.
One hurdle remains: The IRS.
It's hard to envision, but Bellosguardo — where the "garage" was large enough to accommodate a ballroom — was a modest little place by the standards of the Clark family.
The daughter of a mining mogul, Huguette Clark was born in the summer of 1906 in Paris and raised in a 121-room mansion on Fifth Avenue in New York City.
Her father, William Andrews Clark, had been determined to build the most expensive home in America. The result was widely derided as tacky and unwieldy. It had 31 bathrooms, a life-size depiction of Neptune carved into a fireplace, and wood panels purportedly stripped from Sherwood Forest itself.
When the mansion was torn down to make way for an apartment house, the New Republic sniffed: "Time has consecrated its ugliness."
Bellosguardo, by contrast, was an undertaking of Huguette Clark's mother, Anna.
Huguette and her mother had been captivated by the property after the family rented a home there one summer in the 1920s. The Clarks bought the estate, tore down the existing house and built their own — 23 rooms of French-infused elegance on an immaculate 23 acres, perched on a bluff on the eastern tip of Santa Barbara.
Huguette Clark kept her primary residence in New York but visited Bellosguardo regularly until the 1950s. She was bright and gifted, and excelled at writing, art and photography. The house was alive with music. According to "Empty Mansions," a new book about Huguette Clark, her homes and her fortune, a 1,000-square-foot space was dedicated to music: Anna played a pedal harp, Huguette played a Stradivarius violin, and two Steinway pianos were positioned back-to-back.
But Huguette Clark was also painfully shy from an early age — "lively in private but clearly uncomfortable in public," said Bill Dedman, an author of the book.
At some point in the 1960s, she became a recluse in New York, retreating altogether from public view. She continued to collect art and valuable dolls, sometimes negotiating her purchases by speaking to people through closed doors. In the spring of 1991, she underwent a minor procedure at a Manhattan hospital — and though she was otherwise in good health, she elected to stay, for good.
She spent 7,364 nights in the hospital, until her death at 104.

Thailand coup: Military to face the media on Saturday
Published on May 24, 2014 9:57 AM
BANGKOK (REUTERS) - Thailand's military is due on Saturday to hold its first news conference since seizing power this week, amid signs that opposition to the takeover could be gathering momentum, both from pro-democracy activists and supporters of the ousted government.
The news conference is expected some time on Saturday morning.
The army staged a coup on Thursday after failing to forge a compromise in a power struggle between a populist government and the royalist establishment, which brought months of sometimes violent unrest to Bangkok's streets.
Despite international calls for the restoration of democratic government, Army chief General Prayuth Chan-ocha has not promised a swift return to civilian rule, insisting there must be broad reforms and stability first.

Tension and pressure in sports tends to get magnified when playoff time rolls around. While the stakes aren't as high in the regular campaign — when there is always another game to bounce back — down-to-the-wire nail-biters at any juncture of the campaign provide a little taste what potentially will come in the postseason. Newtown High School's girls' basketball team had a pair of close-to-the-finish contests this past week: A 41-39 overtime win over visiting Notre Dame-Fairfield on January 17 and a 43-38 setback to visiting Pomperaug of Southbury in a game played at Western Connecticut State University's O'Neill Center the next night. Whether or not being involved in such tight games will pay dividends for the players remains to be seen, but it certainly can't hurt.
(AP) A children's triathlon program inspired by the life a 7-year-old boy who was killed on 12/14 is expanding in Connecticut. The CMAK Sandy Hook Memorial Foundation has reached an agreement with the Greater Waterbury YMCA, Regional YMCA of Western Connecticut in Danbury, and the Central Connecticut Coastal YMCA in Trumbull to host the Race4Chase Kid's Tri program. The program honors Chase Michael Anthony Kowalski, who competed in his first triathlon the summer before he was killed.
A Men's Senior League Baseball team is being formed to begin wood bat play in Newtown this spring. Cost to play will be determined based on interest among participants and possible sponsorship.
Sandy Hook-based Leaps of Faith Adaptive Skiers Club invites individuals with any and all disabilities to hit the slopes this winter for adaptive skiing at Mount Southington in Plantsville. Leaps of Faith will offer both beginner and advanced snow ski classes with certified instructors. There is no charge for the classes, but they usually fill quickly and registration is required.
The way Newtown High School's hockey team's defensive and goaltending play have been, there hasn't been an overwhelming need for explosiveness on offense. But that doesn't mean the Nighthawks aren't thrilled to pile up the goals as they did in a 10-3 win over the Shepaug-Litchfield-Nonnewaug team at Linen Rink in Washington, on January 10. The Nighthawks had blanked visiting Tri-Town 3-0 at Danbury Ice Arena on January 8 for their second straight shutout, then got that double-digit effort two days later. Senior Jon Lovorn, who joined the school program after playing club hockey, netted four goals to lead the charge in the ten-goal romp. Hayden Savoia scored twice and assisted a tally, and Matt Sabia registered four assists.
That 0-4 start is in the dust. Newtown High School's boys' basketball team, having won four straight games, has a clean slate now. The Nighthawks defeated Abbott Tech of Danbury 74-54 on January 10, then fought back to top Brookfield 57-46 on January 14 — in a pair of home contests to get back to .500. "We're getting contributions from everybody. The kids are playing very well," Newtown Coach Tim Tallcouch said. Newtown trailed Brookfield by three points after three quarters and used a 23-9 fourth quarter to put the game away, dropping the visiting Bobcats to 2-4 overall. Brian LeBlanc had 22 points — all in the second half — to go along with Mike Davis's 19. The Hawks sank ten 3-pointers. LeBlanc and Mike Davis combined for nine of them. Troy Frangione had nine rebounds and seven assists.
Newtown High School's girls' basketball team won two of its last three games to get into a little groove after a tough start to the season. The Nighthawks beat Bethel 50-34 on the road on January 9 in a game that had been postponed twice because of inclement weather. Then, after falling to a tough Lauralton Hall of Milford team 56-42 the next night, the Hawks earned a 45-28 win at Brookfield on January 14. "I think it's good for the team morale," Newtown's Cassie Ekstrom said of the recent winning ways that followed a 1-4 start. "We're playing really well together. We're really intense and aggressive." Ekstrom is one of the players leading that charge. She's been Newtown's jack of all trades contributor on the court — scoring from all over, rebounding, and coming up with steals.
Members of the Newtown Torpedoes swim team, on January 11, joined forces and hit the water at the Newtown High School pool for an event that had no first, second, or third place finishes affecting league standings, no opposing team, no heated races — but plenty of serious swimming and lots of heartfelt meaning. They swam lap after lap in the first Annual Newtown Torpedoes Swim-A-Thon, to raise money for the Daniel Barden Newtown Torpedoes Memorial Scholarship, in honor of the team member they lost in the Sandy Hook tragedy a little more than a year ago.
So far, so good for the Newtown High School wrestling team. The grapplers have won three early-season tournaments in Fairfield, Trumbull and, most recently Natick, Mass., and have had their way with four opponents in dual meets. Newtown placed fifth in the 14-team Danbury Holiday Tournament, won by the host Hatters. "We've been drilling a lot harder this year — practices are a lot harder," 220-pound grappler Ryan Wagner said. "It's definitely paying off a lot." The Nighthawks captain and 132-pound wrestler James Leuci believes, can be top-five team in the state and finish among the best in the South-West Conference.
The Sandy Hook Run for Families is a 5K run/fitness walk that debuted last year to honor the memories of the victims of 12/14 and to support those affected by the events of that day. Approximately 15,000 runners and walkers took to the streets of Hartford and virtually in their own areas to show support for Newtown on March 23, 2013, raising more than $438,000 for The Sandy Hook School Support Fund. This year's event will be at Fairfield Hills on March 29, with a max cap set at 1,000 runners. Those spots will be awarded on a lottery basis, and registration for that lottery opens Sunday morning. A kids fun run will also be offered in March, with space for up to 250 young participants.
