5. The method of claim 1 further comprising the step of selectively adding said slush from said cooling basin to the liquid in said warming basin.
6. The method of claim 1 further comprising the step of selectively adding warmed liquid from said warming basin to said surgical slush in said cooling basin.
7. The method of claim 1 further comprising the step of selectively and independently cooling said cooling basin and heating said warming basin.
1. Technical Field
The present invention pertains to improvements in methods and apparatus for producing surgical sterile slush. In particular, the invention is an improvement of the methods and apparatus disclosed in U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,393,659 (Keyes et al) and 4,934,152 (Templeton). The disclosures in those patents are expressly incorporated herein in their entireties by this reference.
2. Discussion of the Prior Art
The Keyes et al patent discloses a surgical slush producing system having a cabinet with a heat transfer basin at its top surface. A refrigeration mechanism in the cabinet takes the form of a closed refrigeration loop including: an evaporator in heat exchange relation to the exterior of the heat transfer basin; a compressor; a condenser; and a refrigeration expansion control, all located within the cabinet. A separate product basin is configured to be removably received in the heat transfer basin. Spacers, in the form of short cylindrical stubs or buttons are arranged in three groups spaced about the heat transfer basin and projecting into the heat transfer basin interior to maintain a prescribed space between the two basins. During use, that space contains a thermal transfer liquid, such as alcohol or glycol, serving as a thermal transfer medium between the two basins. A sterile sheet of material, impervious to the thermal transfer medium, is disposed between the product basin exterior and the liquid thermal transfer medium to preserve the sterile nature of the product basin. Surgically sterile liquid, such as sodium chloride solution, is placed in the product basin and congeals on the side of that basin when the refrigeration unit is activated. A scraping tool is utilized to remove congealed sterile material from the product basin side to thereby form a slush of desired consistency in the product basin.
As noted in the Templeton patent, the above-described system has a number of disadvantages. In particular, the separate product basin must be removed and re-sterilized after each use. Additionally, the glycol or other thermal transfer medium is typically highly flammable or toxic and, in any event, complicates the procedure. The Templeton patent discloses a solution to these problems by constructing an entirely new apparatus whereby the product basin is eliminated in favor of a sterilized drape impervious to the sterile surgical liquid, the drape being made to conform to the basin and directly receive the sterile liquid. Congealed liquid is scrapped off the sides of the conformed drape receptacle to form the desired slush.
In addition, Templeton also provides an electrical heater disposed at the bottom of the basin to convert the sterile slush to warmed liquid, or to heat additional sterile liquid added to the basin. Templeton describes the need for such warmed sterile liquid as occurring after a surgical procedure is completed to facilitate raising the body cavity of the surgery patient back to its normal temperature by contact with the warmed liquid. However, there are a number of instances during a surgical procedure when it is desirable to have simultaneous access to both the sterile warmed liquid and the sterile surgical slush. For example, if the surgical slush is not at the desired consistency (e.g., too thick), the availability of warmed sterile liquid to be added to the slush permits rapid adjustability of the slush consistency. Likewise, maintaining instruments at or near body temperature during surgery is a desirable feature permitted by warmed sterile liquid. Of course, if the warmed sterile liquid is simultaneously available with the surgical slush, there is no need to wait for the slush to melt at the end of the surgical procedure. Finally, the simultaneous provision of slush and warm liquid permits the two to be comprised of different compounds as is sometimes necessary for various surgical procedures.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a method and apparatus for simultaneously providing separate surgical slush and warmed surgical liquid during a surgical procedure.
It is another object of the present invention to provide a sterile drape receptacle arrangement for a unit capable of simultaneously providing sterile surgical slush and sterile heated liquid.
In accordance with the present invention a basin for containing warmed surgical liquid is placed adjacent a surgical slush basin of the type, for example, disclosed in the Templeton patent. The warming basin may be a separate unit secured to the pre-existing surgical slush unit, or it may be constructed as part of an integral cabinet for the warming and cooling basins. Each basin has its own power control and temperature control, preferably located on the top surface of the unit adjacent the corresponding basin. If the warmed liquid needs to be rapidly cooled, slush can be transferred immediately from the cooling basin; likewise, if the slush is too thick, warmed liquid can be immediately transferred from the warming basin.
A large surgical drape covers both of the basins and contains the warmed liquid and the slush in a sterile manner. The drape, thusly serving as two receptacles, is provided with two centering indicia (e.g., colored dots, or the like) positioned to correspond to the centers of the two basins. The drape may thus be easily positioned relative to the two basins during deployment to provide the required sterile protection in the operating room.
The above and still further objects, features and advantages of the present invention will be apparent upon consideration of the following detailed description of the specific embodiments thereof, particularly when taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings wherein like components are designed by like reference numerals.
FIG. 1 is a view in perspective of a surgical slush unit and warming unit combination provided in accordance with the present invention.
FIG. 2 is a view in perspective of a surgical slush unit and warming unit having a different means for attaching the units together.
FIG. 3 is a view in perspective of a single unit containing separate heating and cooling basins pursuant to the present invention.
FIG. 4 is a plan view of a surgical drape suitable for use with the embodiments illustrated in FIGS. 1, 2 and 3.
FIG. 5 is a view in perspective showing the surgical drape of FIG. 4 positioned over the unit illustrated in FIG. 3.
FIG. 6 is an electrical schematic diagram of the heating unit employed in the present invention.
FIG. 7 is a schematic diagram of the cooling system employed in the present invention.
Referring to FIG. 1 of the accompanying drawings, a surgical slush unit 10 has a heating unit 20 secured thereto. Surgical slush unit 10 may, for example, be configured as the type described and illustrated in the aforementioned Templeton patent, although other configurations are suitable within the scope of the present invention. Surgical slush unit 10 has a top surface 11 with a cooling basin 12 recessed therein. A power switch 13 is disposed on the sidewall of the cabinet in the Templeton unit. In the manner described in the Templeton patent, a suitable sterile liquid, such as a saline solution, is cooled in basin 10 to form surgical slush. In use, the top surface 11 and basin 12 are covered with a sterile liquid impervious drape (not shown in FIG. 1) that can be recessed into the basin. As contemplated by Templeton, ice formed on the sides of the drape is scraped off the drape surface to form slush. In the system described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,163,299 (Faries et al), the formed ice is removed from the drape by gently lifting the drape and shaking it slightly. In either event, surgical slush at the desired consistency may be formed in the receptacle provided by the drape in the cooling basin.
Heating unit 20 may be secured to a sidewall of the cooling unit cabinet such that the top surface 21 of the heating unit is a substantially coplanar extension of the slush unit top surface 11. Attachment of the heating unit 20 to the surgical slush unit cabinet may be by bolts, brackets or other suitable means. A warming basin 22 is recessed into top surface 21. A heater power switch 23 and a temperature controller/indicator 24 are provided on top surface 21 adjacent the warming basin.
Another technique for securing heater unit 20 to pre-existing surgical slush machine 10 is illustrated in FIG. 2. Specifically, a separate wheeled stand 26 has a horizontal support surface for heater unit 20. The thusly supported heater unit has its top surface 21 substantially coplanar with top surface 11 of the surgical slush unit. A belt or strap 27 extends from stand 26 to circumscribe the cabinet of the surgical slush unit 10, thereby preventing inadvertent separation of the slush forming and heating units.
In FIG. 3 there is illustrated an integral assembly 31 wherein a cooling basin 32 for slush and a warming basin 33 for liquid are recessed into the top surface 33 of a common cabinet. Also disposed on top surface 34 are a cooling unit power switch 35, a cooling unit temperature controller/indicator 36, a heater power switch 37 and a heater unit temperature controller/indicator 38.
A sterile drape 51 suitable for covering the top surfaces of both the surgical slush unit and heater unit described above (i.e., in FIGS. 1, 2 and 3) is illustrated in FIG. 4. The drape is made of a material that is impervious to the heated liquid and slush, and is sufficiently soft and flexible to conform to the walls of basins 12, 22, 32 and 33. The thickness of the drape is preferably minimized to render thermal transfer therethrough most efficient, yet the thickness is sufficient to resist tearing and puncturing of the drape during whisking of slush and other normal use. Typically, by way of example only, the drape is made of materials commonly used in hospitals for surgical drapes and has a thickness in the range of 4.5 to 6.0 mils. The drape 51 may also be made of polyurethane film as disclosed for the drape in the aforementioned Templeton patent. Such drapes are sufficiently transparent to permit controls 35, 36, 37, 38 to be observed therethrough. Drape 51 is designed to be disposable after a single use and is provided pre-sterilized and pre-packaged in a leak-proof plastic bag or other sealed container to preserve the sterile nature of the drape during storage.
An advantageous feature of drape 51 is the provision of two centering marks or indicia 52, 53 adapted to be placed over the centers of the cooling and heating basins, respectively, during installation of the drape. Specifically, the centering indicia are thusly positioned when the drape is pushed down into the two basins until it conforms to the basin shapes. Alternatively, basin-like recesses may be formed in the drape and configured to fit directly into the cooling and heating basins. The installed drape, used in conjunction with the embodiment of FIG. 3, is illustrated in FIG. 5.
The manner of heating sterile liquid in a heating basin (e.g., heating basin 33 of FIG. 3) is illustrated schematically in FIG. 6. Specifically, an electrical circuit includes a power source 61 connected in series with a temperature control unit 62, a heater element 60 and power control switch 37. Heater 60 is typically a thin wafer-like member disposed along the bottom surface of heating basin 33, secured to the basin by a suitable pressure sensitive adhesive having efficient heat transfer characteristics. Heater 60, may, for example, be of the type described in the aforementioned Templeton patent. Temperature control unit 62 includes a device for adjusting the current passing through the heating element 60 so as to permit selective adjustment of the heat applied to the liquid in basin 33. The power switch 37 permits selective application and removal of current flow with respect to the heater 60.
A temperature sensor 64 is disposed adjacent basin 33 to sense the temperature of the liquid therein. Sensor 64 is connected in series with a voltage source 65 and an indicator 66. Voltage source 65 and power source 61 may be the same source, or the voltage for one may be derived from the other. Indicator 66 measures the current through temperature sensor 64, that current being proportional to the sensed temperature. Indicator 66 and temperature controller 62 may correspond, for example, to the temperature controller/indicators 38 and 24 described above.
The refrigeration components illustrated schematically in FIG. 7 include a compressor 71 selectively actuable by means of an electrical power source 72 and an on-off power switch 35. Power source 72 may be the same source as power source 61, but separate power switches are provided for heating and cooling. The compressor 71 causes a suitable refrigerant fluid to flow through a series circuit including a condenser 73, an evaporator 74 and a suitable thermal expansion valve 75. The evaporator 74 is disposed about the sides of cooling basin 32 to permit cooling of the basin to a desired temperature. A temperature sensor 76 is disposed along the outside surface of the bottom of basin 32 to monitor the temperature of slush formed therein. Sensor 76 is connected in series with a voltage source 77, preferably derived from power source 72, and indicator 78. Indicator 78 measures the current passing through sensor 76 which, in turn, is proportional to the temperature sensed in basin 32.
From the foregoing description it will be appreciated that the invention makes available a novel method and apparatus for permitting surgical slush and warmed sterile liquid to be made available at a surgical procedure simultaneously.
Having described preferred embodiments of a new and improved method and apparatus for Method and Apparatus for Producing Surgical Slush and Heated Sterile Liquid in accordance with the present invention, is believed that other modifications, variations and changes will be suggested to persons skilled in the art after having access to the teachings set forth herein. It is therefore to be understood that all such variations, modifications and changes are believed to fall within the scope of the present invention as defined by the appended claims.

Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Asunción
The Roman Catholic Metropolitan Archdiocese of Asunción (Latin: Archidioecesis Sanctissimae Assumptionis) is an ecclesiastical territory or diocese of the Roman Catholic Church in Paraguay. It was created as the Diocese of Paraguay by Pope Paul III on July 1, 1547, and was elevated to the rank of a metropolitan archdiocese by Pope Pius XI on May 1, 1929, with the suffragan sees of Benjamín Aceval, Caacupé, Carapeguá, Ciudad del Este, Concepción, Coronel Oviedo, Encarnación, San Juan Bautista de las Misiones, San Lorenzo, San Pedro, and Villarrica del Espíritu Santo.
The archdiocese's mother church and thus seat of its archbishop is the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Assumption. As the only metropolitan in Paraguay, it is the principal episcopal see of that country. As of 2012[update] the Archbishop of Asunción was Eustaquio Cuquejo Verga, CSSR, having been appointed by Pope John Paul II on June 15, 2002. On Tuesday, November 8, 2011, Pope Benedict XVI, appointed Bishop Edmundo Valenzuela Mellid Pontian, S.D.B., as Coadjutor Archbishop of the Archdiocese. Until then he had served as Vicar Apostolic of the Apostolic Vicariate of Chaco Paraguayo, with the ecclesiastical rank of Bishop (Vicariates Apostolic are a type of jurisdiction that rank below a diocese). He was born in Villarrica of Espiritu Santo, Paraguay, on November 19, 1944. He was ordained to the priesthood on April 3, 1971, as a member of the Salesians of Don Bosco. He received a licentiate in theology from the Salesian University in Rome. At one time, he was a missionary in Angola (1991–2006). On February 13, 2006, he was named Titular Bishop of Uzal and appointed Vicar Apostolic of Chaco, Paraguay, receiving episcopal ordination on April 22, 2006. As part of the Episcopal Conference of Paraguay, he serves as Chairman of the Commission for Catholic Education. The archdiocese has 1.58 million catholics (90.6%) in 2012.

Sometimes, a great thing happens off the back of something else unexpectedly. When we gave you all the chance to win a very rare, not-available-for-sale, mahoosive 3 litre bottle of Glenfarclas 105 on 105 Day (by telling us why you deserved it most on Facebook or Twitter), we expected some great responses. What we didn't perhaps expect was the sheer number of entries, or that thanks to our winner's brilliant response we'd all now have a chance to help raise some money for a great cause.
Deserved winner Andrew Wheelhouse will be running from London (Orpington) to Tunbridge Wells - over 21 miles - on Saturday 2nd May to collect his prize and to raise money that will allow 16 Malawian children to attend secondary school for an entire year. He's not a seasoned runner either (he had to go out and buy trainers when he found out he'd won!) so this is one hell of an undertaking. In the words of our new favourite person:

If you take a glance up at the sky, you might notice that the rolling blanket of grey clouds that we've become acquainted with for the past 6 months is sometimes briefly replaced with a flaming ball of hot plasma. That fact that we can catch a glimpse of it means the cosmic grip of winter is waning and spring is on its way to thaw us out.
This also means that St. Patrick's Day is almost upon us! To celebrate the Feast of Saint Patrick (and the fact that the Sun hasn't left us and ran off with some other planet like COROT-7b), we're running a little competition which could result in you getting your hands on some fabulous Irish whiskey!

For those of you not blessed with omniscience or immortality, window 24 of Whisky Advent Calendar offers an exciting opportunity to taste some historic whiskies. And if you do happen to be omnipotent or immortal? Well it's still an opportunity to taste some jolly delicious whisky!
The Lost Distilleries Blend was named World's Best Blended Whisky 2014 at Whisky Magazine's World Whiskies Awards and does exactly what it says on the tin (or at least the bottle and handsome box). It's made up solely with whiskies from sadly now closed distilleries, many of whom have become legendary, with batch six containing malt from Port Ellen, Mosstowie, Caperdonich, Glenisla, Imperial, Glen Mhor and Brora, alongside grain from Port Dundas.

The number 23. No, not the 2007 Jim Carey movie that currently has a rating of 8% on Rotten Tomatoes (that'll learn him for playing The Grinch), nor the shirt number favoured by sportsballm'n Michael Jordan and Sir. David of Beckhenham. No, today the number 23 is all about the window we're opening on our Whisky Advent Calendars!
And behind that window you'll discover... The Macallan Amber! It's the second single malt in this Speyside distillery's 1824 Series of ex-Sherry cask matured non age statement whiskies. Each release in the range is named after its colour, the others being Gold, Sienna and Ruby. You may be thinking that Gold sounds more festive, but the dram in your hand is actually worth more than its weight in Gold. Ho ho oro!

Antarctica? Pah. They have land beneath their ice and snow, that's cheating. And all those penguins that a certain retailer seems to think have something to do with Christmas!? No, no, no. The Arctic, that's the place for me. Polar bears, reindeer, narwhals and Father Pugmas. North side massive.
In fact, it wasn't until Ranulph Fiennes popped by for tea a few years back that I gave much thought to the likes of Ernest Shackleton, who always seemed to have an unhealthy obsession with the wrong pole for my liking. Chose a great whisky for his men back in 1907 though did ol' Ernest, so I was delighted when Richard Paterson recreated it (twice) over one hundred years later! The Journey blended malt contains rare Glen Mhor (1980) and heavily-peated Dalmore(!) as well as whiskies from Glenfarclas, Mannochmore, Tamnavulin, Ben Nevis, Aultmore, Fettercairn, Pulteney and Jura.

Time for us all to open the 21st window of our Whisky Advent Calendars! And inside it's... a new look single malt Scotch whisky from Dufftown in Speyside. A whole new expression from Mortlach to be precise, a distillery that was founded back in the 1820s and you may know best from their 16yo 'Flora & Fauna' release featuring a Goldeneye duck. (James Pond, anyone?)
With past distillery releases few and far between, Mortlach (or 'duck massacre') now has its own shiny new core range! Time to jump in with Rare Old, which has a greater bourbon cask influence than you may expect alongside the more familiar Sherried spirit.

Day 20! There's really not long left before Christmas, is there? Hopefully you've been enjoying your Whisky Advent Calendars day by day and are ready for another lovely single grain Scotch whisky!
Today it's the turn of The Girvan Patent Still No.4 Apps from William Grant & Sons. I've got quite a sweet tooth, and as such quite enjoy this dram. It's not quite as sweet as a Penguin (biscuit) or a Snowball (cake???), which I do quite enjoy finding left out for me on Christmas Eve, but I think I'd rather a glass of this. And there's never been a better time to buy (or win) one than today...

Michael Dell's mantra these days is "be direct," so I decided to take him up on it. "You and I are a lot alike," I said as we sat in the conference room down the hall from his office in Building One on the Dell Computer campus in Round Rock. "We're about the same age. We're both nice Jewish boys from big cities. We both sold newspaper subscriptions. My daughter goes to the school your kids went to. But you're worth billions, and I'm not. Why? Why you and not me?"
For a moment Dell looked at me as if I were crazy, then realized I was kidding. He smiled as broadly as he would in our time together and returned the volley. "Why not you?" he said. "It's not my fault that other people aren't successful. I wish you all the success in the world."
Touché. He gave as good as he got. Better than good, actually: His half-serious answer was more revealing than the totally serious one that followed ("I think I've been resourceful…I've been opportunistic…I've identified discontinuities in the marketplace …"). Entrepreneurship is the art of the possible. Anyone with money and a good idea—the fabled dollar and a dream—has what it takes to write his own ticket; why not me indeed? The hitch, of course, is follow-through. You have to execute. You have to do it. And no one in the history of Texas business has done it as well as Michael Dell.
His accomplishments stack up like the planes sometimes do on the runway at the new Austin Bergstrom International Airport (which was made necessary, it can be reasonably argued, by the economic boom that Dell Computer helped ignite in Central Texas). Number one in the U.S. in personal computer sales. Number two in the world. More than $21 billion in sales over the past four quarters, including an average of $30 million a day on the Web. The best-performing stock of all time. Dell himself is the youngest CEO of a company ever to land on the Fortune 500 and the longest-tenured chief executive in the computer industry. He's the richest Texan of all time—far richer, say, than H. Ross Perot ever was. He's also the fifth-richest person in America, according to Forbes, and the richest under 40, according to Fortune. About the only thing he isn't is the richest man in America, period—that honor belongs to his friend Bill Gates—but he's not even 35 yet; what's the hurry?
BY NOW THE DELL LOG-CABIN STORY IS THE STUFF OF LEGEND. He was raised in an upper-middle-class neighborhood of west Houston, by his mother, a stockbroker, and his father, an orthodontist. Precocious at age eight, he clipped a form from the back of a magazine and applied for a high school equivalency diploma. At nine, he got his own checkbook. At twelve, he ran a mail-order stamp-trading business, earning $2,000. At fifteen, he bought his first computer, an Apple II, and promptly took it apart to see how it worked. At sixteen, he began selling subscriptions to the Houston Post, pocketing $18,000 in commissions in a twelve-month stretch (yes, you read that right). At eighteen, he enrolled at the University of Texas at Austin and started selling upgraded PCs out of his dorm room high above Dobie Mall (the current residents of that room have a Compaq computer, plus a pinup of Leonardo DiCaprio and a poster declaring "Shit happens"—not a bad business philosophy, by the way). A few months later he moved into an off-campus condo and registered his business; at the end of his freshman year, he quit school altogether.
The rest is history—and, to an extent, mystery, because many of the accounts of Dell's rapid rise take at face value that he's done something unfathomable without addressing the simple question of how, exactly, he got from there to here. The answer is equally simple: He did three things.
He built a company. From the beginning, Dell articulated a vision for his fledgling business, and he rarely wavered. "The core concept," he told me, "was that these dealers were popping up all over the countryside who didn't know much about computers, and they had incredibly high markups. So they created all sorts of opportunities: a better level of service and a lower cost structure, by working directly with the consumer."
Onto that premise—eliminate the middleman—Dell grafted the idea of a build-to-order model, in which the company would minimize its inventory and maximize its ability to serve its customers by assembling a computer only when someone wanted one. At least as far as the PC industry went, it was a revolutionary rejiggering of the laws of supply and demand; the latter would drive the former, not the reverse. Initially, Dell's presumed rivals, Compaq and IBM, paid him no mind—one Compaq executive predicted that the kid with the Coke-bottle glasses would be out of business in a few weeks—but both have long since come around; Compaq now embraces build-to-order, and IBM has become Dell's leading provider of parts. The mountain has come to Muhammad.
Along the way, Dell has shown he can run the company he founded—no easy feat. "Conventional wisdom says that most entrepreneurs are good at starting companies but not good at managing them once they reach a certain size," says Joan Magretta, a contributing editor at the Harvard Business Review. "Dell can do both." In particular, he wins points for his precise attention to the details of his business (referred to as "Michaelmanaging") and for his record of hiring senior executives—for recognizing, in the words of Dallas attorney Tom Luce, a Dell director since 1990, that "a $500 million company and a $25 billion company require people with different skill sets."
Dell is also routinely praised for graciously accepting criticism, a sign of maturity well beyond his years. "His willingness to listen is unbelievable," says Tom Green, the company's senior vice president for law and administration. "He detects insight, mines it,

Muscular Development Magazine Highlights Rice Protein Benefits for Vegetarian Bodybuilders
In response to an article posted by IFT regarding the bodybuilding benefits of using rice protein versus whey protein, Muscular Development magazine affirms the advantages of using rice protein for vegetarians.
Setauket, NY (PRWEB) April 04, 2013
On April 4, 2013, Muscular Development magazine responds to an article posted by the Institute of Food Technologists, which details a new study suggesting rice protein may be just as beneficial as whey protein for vegetarian bodybuilders.
According to the Institute of Food Technologies (IFT), a study recently presented at the Natural Products Expo demonstrated that rice protein might have the same physical benefits as whey protein.
Brian Turner, a spokesperson for the Muscular Development Magazine, says after looking at the fat content versus protein content, it´s easy to see that whey protein is similar to rice protein. "While rice protein generally has a higher number of calories, it has the same total fat count per serving as whey protein," he says. "They also have the same protein content per serving. The biggest dietary difference is carbohydrate content, in which rice has more."
The IFT study, conducted by researchers at the University of Tampa, examined a group of 24 expert bodybuilders and divided them into two groups. The first group consumed rice protein and the second group consumed whey protein before performing specific training exercises over an eight-week period. After measuring muscle thickness, body composition, bench press and leg press strength, researchers found that there were no significant differences in progress.
Turner says these findings are great for bodybuilders who want to maintain a vegetarian diet. "Protein is needed to build muscle, which is where many vegetarian bodybuilders struggle," he says. "Whey is organic, but dairy-based, violating the strict diet guidelines of the vegetarian. Implementing a plant-based supplement like rice protein could be a great alternative to build muscle, repair bones and cells and reduce soreness if whey protein isn´t an option."
Muscular Development magazine offers the latest and greatest news and products to enhance your workout and maximize the fitness benefits of your routine.

"Safeunderdark" is my screen/artist name, "Amy" is the personification of Safeunderdark, my Avatar.
"Safeunderdark" is the representation of my visual and creative inner, translated to the outside; something like a split personality.
Why Amy?
Well that's a long story, but here's a shorted version:
When I started I used a lot of things, and did it as myself. But there was more inside me, waiting to get out.
I wanted to start a art site of my own, and was trying to make something for it.So suddenly there was a girl,. Somehow the name "Amy" popped into my head, so that was her name..
Since then Amy, and myself have created lots of nice things, I start something and Amy (My creativity) takes over and I could end with something else that I started with, that is the greatest things of all, I can enjoy in creating, and let my creativity play, and be able to get away from it all, and have FUN, and that is the main reason for all of this.
So I can say Amy has done most of this, I just on the background taking care of technical things. and being surprised by myself, how I ever got in to this, but very happy I did this, and I know Amy is to
Now you know about me and Amy, and now the story of Safeunderdark.
Why Safeunderdark ?
It's an anagram of my real name….

Isn't that name a mouthful? In fact, that's exactly why this alternate exists. If you don't like it, deal with it in whichever way you find best.

Spring Has Sprung!
We all know that Christmas is a big shopping season but did you know that spring runs a close second?
Easter, Mother's Day, Passover, first Communion, graduation, confirmation! Is your business prepared?
Is your bulletin ad fresh? If not, use one of your four ad changes per year included in your sponsorship agreement to spruce it up (the contact information for your local office can be found in the right column).
Is your Seek And Find page up-to-date? You don't know how? Attend an upcoming webinar--the webinar and your Seek And Find page are already included in the cost of your ad. Look to the right for upcoming sessions.
Your sponsorship of the publication for %%Church Or Org Name%% is very important because it helps them get their message to their members. Make sure you take full advantage of everything you pay for with that sponsorship by updating your ad four times per year and sprucing up your Seek And Page for spring--and the seasons to come!
Is Your About Us Page Effective?
"For a small B2B business, the second most important page on its website after its homepage is probably its 'About Us' page."
So writes Kevin Levi for MarketingProfs. Levi goes on to give four keys to crafting an effective About Us page, as well as four steps to measure its effectiveness (you can find the full article here).
This advice is not only useful for your own website, but also your listing page on SeekAndFind.com. You already have a Seek And Find listing, included in your advertising agreement at no charge, and you'll find that the Description section, just below the map, offers a great location to place your About Us statement. This is essentially your mission statement: what do you do that others can't, and how do you do it?
So take a few minutes and see if yours measures up! And for help editing your Description on Seek And Find, check out this article from the Seek And Find FIVE archives.
40 years of Connections
We've been doing this since gas was 36 cents a gallon!
LPi is celebrating 40 years of connecting churches, synagogues, and senior centers with local businesses who know how important community is. All year we've be asking you to share your history with us--and the communities you support--by telling us stories about that support. This month's story comes from Kelly Regan of Premier Banks. Kelly states:
"We at Premier Banks have a longstanding relationship with Liturgical Publications. We feel strongly about supporting our local Parishes and LPi is a great opportunity to do that in a centralized manner. In addition, LPi is a fine venue to reach out to potential clients; especially to engage people that share common values of integrity and faithful service. LPi can expand or fortify a match made in heaven! Julie Derzay has handled our account over the years. She goes out of her way to make sure that all our parishes are on the same billing cycle, and makes a concerted effort to assure that the ad copy is correct in all of our parishes. This attention to detail makes our life easier. Congratulations on your 40 years of service, we are grateful for your valued partnership!"
As a thank you for sharing her story, Kelly receives a $100 gift card, and Julie Derzay also receives a $100 gift card for providing LPi's industry-leading customer service! We're not done yet, though--we want to hear your stories too! Send us your story before April 30 and let us know: why do you advertise in a bulletin, newsletter, or directory and how has it contributed to your success?

Statistics obtained under the Right to Information Act by on the number of people who have died or gotten injured on the suburban system between 2011 and 2013 paints a grim picture.
Despite the crores of rupees spent by railways on upgrading infrastructure and the plethora of advertisements and posters at stations exhorting people not to tempt fate, the numbers, sought by social activist Chetan Kothari, have remained much the same.
In some stretches, the numbers have stabilised, something which officials say is a heartening sign, a reminder that less people might be crossing tracks despite the obvious increase in crowds on that stretch. In other sections, however, the numbers have continued to increase leaving the railway authorities at their wits' ends.
For example, the number of deaths between Ambernath and Ulhasnagar in 2011 was 12, which went up to 18 in 2012 and then jumped to 27 in 2013. Even the stretch between Ghatkopar and Vikhroli has shown itself to be a chronic problem spot. After the number of deaths dropped from 42 in 2011 to 32 in 2012, it again shot up to 51 in 2013.
"What it means is that the low numbers in 2012 was just an aberration and people continue to cross tracks or exhibit dangerous commuting behaviour between the two stations," said a CR official.
There is some glimmer of hope in certain places which were chronic black spots on the suburban map. The number of commuters dying in Matunga station area has come down from 41 in 2011 to 40 in 2012 and 36 in 2013. In Sion, the numbers have fallen from 46 in 2011 to 44 in 2012 to 31 in 2013.
The Bandra to Vile Parle section is another plus point for railways. The number of people dying in suburban accidents has come down from 89 in 2011 to 60 in 2012 and 51 in 2013. Similar is the trend in the Sewri to Chembur stretch, where the numbers have progressively gone down from 83 in 2011 to 72 in 2012 and 69 in 2013.
However, as far as officials are concerned, continuous drop in numbers over a period of four to five years is the only reliable sign that less people are living dangerously on the suburban network.
Speaking to dna, Kothari said it was time the railways took up anti-trespassing and other safety measures on a war footing. "Their approach to building walls, fencing, foot overbridges and other such works is very slow and also insufficient," he added.

Chief Minister Oommen Chandy sanctions, on the spot, students' request for a 'Smart Classroom' facility in their school in a function organised in Thiruvananthapuram on Tuesday
Chief Minister Oommen Chandy on Tuesday took the students of the GMUP School, Ozhukoor, in Malappuram district, by surprise by instantly granting their wish to have a smart classroom in their school.
The children had arrived here to receive the award won by their school for the best effort to eradicate drug abuse, as part of the State-level inauguration of the International Day against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking observance.
When Shahana, a member of the school contingent, submitted a memorandum to Mr. Chandy, seeking support from the Excise Department to set up a smart classroom, the Chief Minister did not waste a moment to give consent. As an amused Excise Minister K. Babu looked on, Mr. Chandy announced that the children would have their wish realised very soon. An elated delegation erupted in cheers at the announcement.

Sprint Phone Reviews
Welcome to the Sprint Phone Reviews Page! If you were to walk into a Sprint store, or any carrier store, of course they are going to be boasting about how great each and every one of their phones. You don't want to go to a store without an idea of what you are getting because odds are you will walk out with a completely different phone that someone tried to sell to you that was not what you wanted. You will find all of the full details listed below about each phone. Here at CellPhoneTrek, we won't sugarcoat how bad a phone is. We will tell you straight up how each phone is. Before we even jump into each review, there is a list of pros and cons that we have concluded to be correct about the phone. Our reviews cover full details that we notice from the moment we open the box. We spend some quality time with the phones to see how photo quality is in different settings, how call quality is when we walk around, and how long the battery lasts on one charge. Make sure to check out all of the Sprint Phone Reviews below to find your new phone!

Third-quarter notes: Patriots 38, Colts 17
Posted By Christopher Price On November 18, 2012 @ 6:42 pm In General | 8 Comments
FOXBORO — The Patriots hold a 38-17 lead on the Colts after three. Here are a few quick notes on the third quarter:
'¢The highlight of the quarter for the Patriots came on back-to-back plays. New England was up 31-17 with just over three minutes left when first, defensive end Rob Ninkovich [1] strip-sacked Andrew Luck [2] and came up with the ball on the Indy 24-yard line. On the next play, the Patriots connected on a 24-yard touchdown pass from Brady to Rob Gronkowski [3] to make it 38-17 with 3:22 left in the third. An impressive bang-bang sequence that looks like it will pretty much ended the game for New England.
'¢The Patriots started the third quarter with a nice, steady drive that went 76 yards and took 10 plays and 3:53. A 17-yard pass play to Julian Edelman [4] on a little bubble screen — one of the most well-executed plays of the game for the New England offense — allowed the Patriots to pick up a third down to really get things going. An 11-yard run from Stevan Ridley and a 31-yard pickup on a pass play from Brady to Gronkowski got the Patriots into the red zone. Shortly after that, Brady found Edelman for his second touchdown of the day from two yards — a quick slant in — to make it 31-17 early in the third.
'¢The Colts' young offense started to press a little after going down by two scores, and ended up punting the ball away after its first possession of the third quarter. Andrew Luck was able to hang in and make some really nice throws on the Colts' first drive of the quarter, including one impressive third-down completion to T.Y. Hilton where he looked a lot like Pittsburgh quarterback Ben Roethlisberger [5] — a big quarterback with mobility and an ability to keep a play alive with his scrambling ability. However, that Indy drive fizzled out, and the Colts were forced to punt.

Hydrogen peroxide and other oxidants cause lung cells to become malignant
THURSDAY, Feb. 28 (HealthDay News) -- It's long been known that smoking causes lung cancer, but a new study is the first to show that the hydrogen peroxide in cigarette smoke is what actually causes healthy lung cells to turn cancerous.
Researchers from the University of California, Davis, said their findings may help lead to new treatments for lung cancer and may help the tobacco industry develop "safer" cigarettes by eliminating such substances in the smoke.
"With the five-year survival rate for people with lung cancer at a dismally low 15.5 percent, we hope this study will provide better insight into the identification of new therapeutic targets," senior author Tzipora Goldkorn said in a prepared statement.
In this laboratory study, the researchers exposed different sets of human lung cells to cigarette smoke or hydrogen peroxide and then incubated the cells for one to two days. The cells were then compared to unexposed airway cells. The cells exposed to cigarette smoke and those exposed to hydrogen peroxide showed the same molecular signatures of cancer development. The unexposed cells showed no such changes.
The findings are published in the March issue of The FASEB Journal, published by the Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology.
Guns kill, bombs kill and cigarettes kill," Dr. Gerald Weissmann, editor-in-chief of The FASEB Journal, said in a prepared statement. "While biologists can't do much about the first two, studies like this will help in the fight against tobacco-related death and disease. These experiments not only pinpoint new molecular targets for cancer treatment, but also identify culprits in cigarette smoke that eventually will do the smoker in."
Cigarette smoking, which causes more than 400,000 deaths a year in the United States (about one in five of all deaths

"This is no one-sided anti-development screed. It's clear that the artists hold complex and differing viewpoints, ranging from Todd Hido's seemingly fond misty, voyeuristic photographs of welcoming, inner-lit houses to Lewis Baltz's cool black-and-white images of new homes that look almost Mondrian-like in their linear starkness."

Check out a map of the Caribbean and you'll find a dozen or so islands named after saints. That's because Columbus was fond of matching up the day he came across a new island with the feast days of the various saints.

lf St. Barts sounds like a tropical Shangri-La, it comes pretty close. There's only one catch: it ranks among the most expensive getaways on the planet. One reason is that everything has to be shipped in, but the big reason is because the island caters to an upscale clientele.
Christopher Columbus was cruising around the eastern Caribbean in 1493 when he spotted a bunch of islands so pristine he named the lovely dots in the blue-green waters "Las Virgenes."
You've booked a vacation in the Caribbean, and you just can't wait to dance the night away. But unless you're going to Jamaica, you might be shaking your booty to another kind of West Indian music besides reggae.

In 2003 and 2004, he approved changes to canon law to allow the Vatican to quickly defrock abusive priests without cumbersome internal trials.
Given the progressive decline in Pope John Paul's health, however, it is widely presumed that Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger - the future Pope Benedict XVI - was the architect of those measures in his role as head of the Vatican department that handled clergy abuse allegations.
Earlier this year, the Vatican's new sex crimes prosecutor, quoting Benedict, said the church must recognize the "grave errors in judgment that were often committed by the church's leadership." He added that bishops must report abusive priests to police where the law requires it.
The comments came days after the release of the Los Angeles confidential files.
Now, with a new pope, victims in the U.S. hope more change is coming - but they aren't optimistic.
"Most cardinals say he's already won their hearts. Fine, but what about the people in the pews? What about us survivors?" said Esther Miller, who was part of a $660 million settlement in 2007 between more than 500 alleged abuse victims and the Archdiocese of Los Angeles. "I think his actions need to speak louder than words."

University of Minnesota Names Farm Families of the Year
By Amanda Hillier, Agweek Magazine
Aug. 5–Being active in their communities and the agricultural world has earned 70 Minnesota farm families the honorary Farm Family of the Year title.
The honor is bestowed each year by the University of Minnesota. One of this year's honorees is the Gebhardt family of Clearwater County.
"We were surprised to be nominated because we've only been farming for nine years. We try to do research along the way so we don't make too many mistakes," says Karen Gebhardt, Clearwater County Farm Family of the Year nominee. "Our diversity probably helped. We raise cattle, goats and crops, and I have a small raspberry patch and a home quilting business called Heirloom Quilting."
Karen and Kevin Gebhardt live on their farm, Achin' Back Acres, near Leonard, Minn. They moved from Alaska nine years ago to raise their kids on a farm.
Achin' Back Acres is primarily a Black Angus feedstock operation with a small herd of South African Boer goats, a half-acre berry patch that Karen hopes will grow to a small commercial business in coming years, several crops and a home quilting business. The Gebhardts also have part-time jobs aside from the farm.
According to The University of Minnesota, the Farm Family Recognition Program has recognized farm families from throughout the state of Minnesota for more than two decades. The program was started around the 1980s by the University of Minnesota's College of Food, Agriculture and Natural Resource Sciences, Extension Services and College of Veterinary Medicine.
The Farm Families Recognition Program helps showcase Minnesota's diverse agricultural industry.
"Our mission is to serve the citizens of the state, including farmers, and it's a way to recognize their contributions, their hard work and their support for the U," says Bev Durgan, dean of University of Minnesota Extension Service.
"Farm families are the foundation of Minnesota agriculture and major contributors to the vitality of our communities. They are recognized as farmers, but they're also leaders in their communities, they serve on local school boards, they take part in many different local leadership roles. So we're also honoring their contributions to their communities."
Each year one family per county is chosen for Farm Family of the year.
There are 87 counties in Minnesota, though averages of 65 to 70 counties participate in the Farm Family of the Year.
County extension committees select the farm family of the year. Only 87 farm families can be named in Minnesota — one per county.
In Traverse County, Gary and Rhonda Findlay were nominated for the Farm Family of the Year. The Findlays live near Herman, Minn., where they raise corn, soybeans, wheat, alfalfa and feeder cattle.
The Findlays have five children and are active members in their community. The family also started their own association similar to the Parent Teacher Association.
"Both of us grew up with 4-H and were close to the extension services," Gary Findlay says. "So it's an honor to be selected by them. I know there were many other couples that could have been selected."
Families are selected based on their contributions to Minnesota's agriculture and their communities. Families must demonstrate a commitment to enhancing and supporting agriculture and agriculture production in the agricultural world and their community.
"It is nice to be recognized for the things that we do, though that's not why we do them, we do them because it's fun," says Peggy Wilebski, Kittson County Farm Family of the Year nominee. "We live on the same farm as Joseph's parents did when they were named Farm Family of the Year in 1971. That makes being named Farm Family of the Year a little more significant and meaningful to us."
Joe and Peggy Wilebski live on the family farm near Lancaster, Minn. The Wilebskis raise beef cattle, hay, corn, small grains and now soybeans.
The Wilebskis are active in numerous community activities dealing with the church and school. They have four children and two grandchildren.
"I did not expect this nomination. I don't feel we have done anything special," Joe Wilebski says. "There are lots of people who volunteer and serve on committees, but there is always a need for more people to get involved."
The Farm Family Recognition Program is sponsored by University of Minnesota Extension Service, the College of Food, Agricultural and Natural Resources Sciences, the College of Veterinary Medicine, the Minnesota Agricultural Experiment Station and Farmfest.
A complete list of the 2008 Farm Families of the Year can be found on the U of M Farm Families Web site.

Former NFL quarterback Kurt Warner is selling his seven-bedroom, 11,300-square-foot modern mansion for just a hair under $5 million. The home, formerly owned by baseball Hall of Famer Roberto Alomer is certainly one of a kind as seen in the photos below. The weird home can be found on Cheney Drive in Paradise Valley in Scottsdale, Ariz. It includes a pool and spa as well as exercise, theater and billiards rooms. It will be featured on HGTV's Celebrity Homes in December. Click here to check out a photo gallery of Warner's mansion>> Photo via Trulia

From the article: How To Namaste
Share Post: A basic interpretation of Namaste is "The God/Goddess Spirit within me recognizes and honors the God/Goddess Spirit within you." There are several variations of wordings which describe what Namaste means. Although similar, meanings and definitions of Namaste can be interpreted differently. How would you define Namaste? What does this sacred gesture mean to you?
Please Note: The submission form for reader input has been temporarily disabled.
Honor from my divine spirit to yours
- The light and divinity within me bows to the light and divinity within you and all around you, always.
- —Guest Ashley L
- Namaste means Namoh+Stute. It means in Hindi "Main tuj me stuti karne yogya vastu ko naman karta hun" It means in english " I bow to that thing in you which is worth praying and that is glimpse of god within you ." NAMASKAR means: Namoh +Sanskar. It means in Hindi ," Main tuj me jo achhe sanskar hai usko naman karta hun. It means in English I bow to good (godly) qualities within you." As Hindus always see +ve sides of others & each person has some good qualities in him.
- —Guest prakap
- One of my favourite interpretations for Namaste is to simply 'honour the peace within'
- —Guest Lori
- I respect the light within me and honour and respect the light that shines within you
- —Guest highlandlass
Spiritual Wisdom
- I was taught as a young Japanese Martial Arts Student, that although there are several interpretations from different cultures through time, that the True Meaning & Intent of the word Namaste` is: "The Divine Wisdom In Me, Recognises & Acknowledges The Divine Wisdom In You"!
- —Guest Jan
Shared Spiritual Connection
- I've come to understand this to be acknowledging the light that you witness in another and feel in yourself... It's a shared spiritual connection that creates a feeling and sense of oneness and balance. For me when I feel compelled to say Namaste', it's because I've felt that way.... Just my personal experience with a humble heart and open mind. ~Thank you for taking the time and Namaste'~
- —Guest ~Andrea~
Meaning of Namaste
- "Na" means "No"or "Not"."MaH"means "For me"."Te"means,For you"Whatever I possess on this earth belongs to you(God) I don't have any thing to claim on this earth.(na+maH+tE)"maH"is in the Genetive case.
- —Guest iragavarapu narasimhacharya
- Namaste as I have learnt means to bow to the light within.
- —Guest Sharon
How I define Namaste
- Because I see yoga as a way of being one with body mind spirit and I also see meditation and honoring other religions as so too, I see Namaste being relevant in tying all of mentioned above. For example, Namaste in yoga: I honor the higher self in you. In Buddhism: i honor the Buddha nature in you. In Christianity: I honor the Christ-like self in you:) Whatever we can achieve as being great, including creativity, kindness, selflessness and we see it in someone else: Namaste would mean: I honor YOU, the greatness, individual specialness in You, because most likely there is some of that in Me too! So we could learn to first honor ourselves, then we can easily honor others. Appreciate them, bow to them, feel a loving presence for who/ all they are:)
- —Guest liz
- When I realize the creator of the world dwells within me and you recognize that the creator of the world dwells in you, and when we both realize he has an unconditional love for us, then we are truly one. Not because we say it so, but because that creator created us to be one. He created us for this very moment when we realize that we are ONE.
- —Guest Guest Mar
- A good friend said to me that she thought it meant "all sacred in me greets all sacred in you."
- —Guest Ryan
interpretation always has translation
- My interpretation is that if there is such a thing as a spark of divine in me- it humbly bows to that spark in you---- just back from first trip to Nepal and India, hard to digest.........
- —Guest vickilander
Universal unity and light
- Namaste ~ We are all one energy & greater consciousness ~ I bow to your physical presence within our common reality ~ Blessed journeys to you on your path in life.. ~
- —Guest Ironman
Namaste better than shaking hands
- What a beautiful way to greet someone (known/unknown), instead of thrusting your hands into someone else's clammy, sweaty hands and inviting a thousand infections!
- —Guest jothindra
This is Familiar
- The definitions are soulfully fullfilling and in the way we Rastas say INI the I in HIM Haile Sellassie I, is the I in me and You, which means we recognize the God in all.. Namaste
- —Guest Empress

Friend 1
Every year, my husband, Joe, and I look forward to an October trail ride to enjoy the spectacular beauty of fall foliage. Last year, we decided to meet friends at a new destination - Circle E Guest Ranch in Belvidere, Tennessee. Located in the Cumberland Mountains on the fringe of 100,000 acres of uninhabited mountain land, the ranch sounded wonderful.
On this trip, I rode my 5-year-old Missouri Fox Trotter, Whiskey. Joe rode his 12-year-old Fox Trotter, Luther.
Organized rides are offered several times a year and are quite popular. We were there during an open ride time. The staff greeted us with enthusiasm and made us feel welcome right away. Although we don't usually ride with a trail boss, we were informed that at Circle E Ranch, trail bosses are available at no charge!
There are full hook-up campsites, as well as primitive campsites available. The barns are very nice with secure stalls and shavings included. Stall cleaning is also available. There's a large dining room, and the shower house is large, spotless, and warm!
Rocky Terrain We arrived with our friends on a Wednesday and headed out for a short ride. There's something for everyone at Circle E. The color-coded trail map offers a lot of detail. The trails vary in terrain. There are some wide, easy trails, but mostly I'd consider the riding to be intermediate to advanced.
Our group enjoys the challenging terrain, and we weren't disappointed. The terrain is varied, but rocky. There are beautiful rock formations, waterfalls, and trees. Be prepared to climb up and down steep hills if you're on the narrow trails.
Thursday morning, after eating a good breakfast, we packed our lunches and headed out to ride to Crane Top, which our camping neighbor described as challenging. We got to the top, and challenging it was! It began as a three-foot drop and a switchback around large rocks to a steep descent to the end of the trail.
We spent the rest of the day enjoying the beauty of the Cumberland Mountains. We stopped at a waterfall and ate lunch. The weather was perfect.
As the forecast predicted, it rained on Friday. We usually don't mind riding in the rain, but this was a horizontal, cold rain. We decided to give the horses a rest and go to the Bedford Tack Store, a huge warehouse that has everything! There are also tours given at the Jack Daniels Distillery. We returned around dinnertime to clearing skies. We enjoyed steaks on the grill for dinner and starry skies while we planned our Saturday ride.
Beyond Good On Saturday and Sunday, we enjoyed more trails. We found a beautiful pond, another waterfall, and pretty rock cliffs that seemed to go on forever. The grandness of it made us feel so small. It was absolutely beautiful. The wildlife was abundant, and we saw plenty of deer. Life was beyond good.
Although we rode for four days, we still didn't see all the trails at Circle E Ranch. With 120 miles of trails to see, we knew we'd have to come back.
Sunday evening, we met ranch owner Ray Evans. He seemed to truly care about making sure visitors enjoy their stay.
As we headed home on Monday with our Circle E Ranch T-shirts in hand, we looked through our pictures and smiled. We're so blessed to have good friends, good horses, and another wonderful place to ride!

Open Hearts Embossing Board Card
By: Crafter's Companion
We are adding the craft to your Craft Projects.
The project was added to your Craft Projects.
Click here to view your Craft Projects.
Give this card to your loved one with an open heart for Valentine's Day, an anniversary, or just to say "I Love You." With just a few materials you can create this heartfelt card your special someone will want to save forever!
- Open Hearts Embossing Board
- 2 Sheet Of Letter Size Card
- 6mm Embossing Tool
- Embellishments
- Adhesive
Step 1
Take a piece of cardstock and lay this face down on the board butted up against the raised upstands in the top corner. Rub the drier sheet or candle onto the wrong side of the card which is facing you. This will make the reverse of the card slippy, and enable the tool to glide smoothly over the sheet. Take the embossing tool and insert into the leader channel at the top of the board.
Step 2
Emboss around the complete shape as directed in the other Keepsake projects.
Tip: When the pattern is very intricate it may help to emboss the design onto a sheet of paper first as a practice run, then keep this at the side of you for reference. When you have repeated the design several times you should get used to the direction the channels take. Don't worry if you slip out of the channel as this will not mark the card on the front it only embosses where there is a channel.
Step 3
Position the tool in the channel and pull towards you until you feel some resistance; keep following the channel until you have a finished the outer design. With this shape, the centre design is seperate, and to emboss this, feel for the leader channel on the centre spine of the design which leads to the main inner-heart, and then the leader channel at the top of the inner heart leads to all the other channels, Push the tool around all channels and follow the shapes until the design is finished.
Step 4
Push the tool into the next channel and repeat the pattern on the other side of the card. Carefully cut around the outside of the embossed edges until you have a stand alone card.
Tip: If you wish to make a "Star" card, you can repeat this process a further 3 times and stick each card together at the back. This will create a free-standing card which creates a star shape.
Step 5
Take a corresponding sheet of cardstock in a different colour, and lay this down over the centre of the hearts on the board and emboss these shapes. cut these out and layer them over the main card design using foam pads to lift and give some definition.
Embellish each side with faux flowers and flat backed pearls or liquid pearls and ribbon bows and a sentiment as desired. This will be a nice card on its own, or you can mount it to a folded base card.

New second RoadTrip! FM transmitter model available
updated 12:05 pm EDT, Tue September 21, 2004
Another RoadTrip! FM
Newer Technology and Other World Computing today announced a second model of the . The new 'RoadTrip!' model allows users of the iPod and other digital music players to listen to their favorite audio files through a car stereo system using the 87.7 FM radio frequency. The original 'RoadTrip!' model broadcasts using the 107.7 FM frequency. Both are available for $20. Aside from its broadcast frequency, the new 'RoadTrip!' model is exactly the same as the original. It connects to a vehicle's 12-volt cigarette lighter and has a 3.5-millimeter stereo jack that is compatible with all four generations of iPods, the iPod mini and other devices with a standard analog mini-jack (headphone jack).
