It's a good thing I came back in for the pix. My uncle looked at me and asked if I was okay. "Oh yeah, I'm fine" I said. "Your mother told me you've been struggling to find the right career." Wow my mom was actually nice enough not to say I was fired. "yeah, I really want to get into fashion designing, but I have no idea where to start" I said. Uncle Mike said "well, I'm sure you will figure it out soon enough. I need to get my things put away and ready for dinner. Do you know when your mother will be home?"

"Hello, who's home?" yelled a booming male voice I didn't recognize at all. "Uh, it's Claire, Sidney's daughter," I stammered back. "Who are you?" I asked, as I turned around to walk downstairs to confront the unexpected visitor. As I rounded the turn I saw my favorite uncle standing there with two suitcases, arms open. "I know who you are," my uncle laughed, and enveloped me in his big bear hug." I squealed, "Uncle Mike! What are you doing here??" "Didn't your mom tell you? I'm in town for a couple weeks, and I planned a nice celebratory dinner tonight. I can't tell you what we're celebrating until tonight though!" I thought to myself, "So that's what Jake was trying to tell me outside the fabric store." How was I going to get out of this now? I couldn't exactly go to dinner tonight after outing my Mom's boyfriend.

Jake and I gave each other an weird look, almost like we were shocked to have seen each other in the same place. "Your mother wants to know..." "I have to get going Jake," I interrupted him. I was not in the mood to be lectured at. As I got inside my red Volvo, I looked at rearview mirror and saw Jake starring back at me. I quickly turned my eyes away, thinking....

In my mind, my jaw dropped, my eyes fell to the floor, and I melted to the ground as I realized I was at Hyde last night and it was definately the one night stand/leave in the morning without a goodbye guy.

The whole time I was walking behind him I couldn't help but think how familiar he looked with his brown curly hair. He looked almost like the guy from last night, who happens to walk out on me this morning. "Was I that bad?" I thought to myself.

I decided to ask an associate for assistance and I felt nervous for the first time in a long while. I stuttered..

As I walked downstairs and out the building I took a second to look at my surroundings.

Rita walked into the room with my coffee and looked down at me serenely. "You shouldn't be mad he dashed, Amanda. You woke up at 11 AM. He had to leave for work at 9." Rita had read my mind.

Overall User Rating: Ateco 400 Standard Plastic Coupler ( 4.8 stars from 79 reviews )
These are really good quality couplers for icing bags. I actually like them better than the Wilton ones, which Is really the only ones available locally. Will continue to order these.
Barbara M. from Everything Iced Cupcakes & More Posted on 05/21/2015
I love these couplers. They make it so very easy to complete a project with one pastry bag (per color). My only regret is that I didn't order more of these (I will!). These fit the smaller Ateco pastry tips just perfectly.
James D. Posted on 05/10/2015
Nice coupler and it works with some of my tips that I currently have. I am waiting on the bag to air out so I can test both together.
Marianne C. from Local Foods Bakery Posted on 04/19/2015
This coupler fits a large portion of my generic tip. However the addition of medium size would cover 90% of the tip sizes. Great and extremely durable. I would buy more than one for my decorating task.
Nicholas L. from The Travels Inc Posted on 04/14/2015
There's not too much to be said about this coupler other than to say that it fits a standard sized (10") pastry bag nicely and seals very tightly. The plastic it's made out of is of high quality and can be thrown into the dishwasher in the utensil basket. The screw thread is smooth and tight while easy to unscrew when finished.
Matt M. from Home Use Posted on 04/07/2015
These are the best couplers I've ever used! I've been using them for so long yet they still look new! They don't break easily and they're easy to clean.
Rosa D. from Rosys Cakes LLC Posted on 04/03/2015
Everyone needs a sack full of these they hold up to being opened and closed all day long. I've used other brands in the past only to have the rings break after a few uses these are durable!
Sally B. from Sally's Piece-a-Cake Posted on 04/02/2015
This coupler guys tightly on pastry bag and holds up well. The plastic is stronger than others I have used which cracked over time. Love them!
Andrea D. from Home Grown Cakes Posted on 03/23/2015
I purchased these to try in comparison to the Wilton couplers, these are better in my opinion, they are a little slimmer and they wash up easier afterwards. I will definitely be purchase more of these in the future!
JaTaen R. Posted on 03/09/2015
These couplers work very well. I have used them when frosting my cupcake orders. After soaking in soapy warm water, they clean up very well. I plan to purchase more in the near future!
Chandra M. Posted on 02/06/2015
Purchased this set for a great price and I use them all the time they are great when you have to switch tips for decorating and writing on cakes.
Stella L. from stellas custom cakes Posted on 02/06/2015
This coupler works well to secure tips. It slips in and out of the decorating bag easily. I have even used it without a tip when I want a plain, smooth edge pattern.
Diane K. Posted on 02/01/2015
These couplers fit my disposable and reusable piping bags well. I can easily toss these in the dishwasher as long as they are in the silverware tray.
Matthew M. from 8 Bit Bakeshop Posted on 01/15/2015
Works as it should - simple coupler, should last a long time - keep em organized and you should be good to decorate for years to come!
Chris S. from Mountain Oven, LLC Posted on 01/01/2015
I use these couplers all the time when I am decorating with royal icing and buttercream. These are for finer decorating projects since it is for smaller tips. These are ideal for being able to switch tips with the same kind of icing, so that you don't have to fill a whole new bag if you want to use a different tip. I also like how it enables you to keep your bag more stable, hence, make neater lines when decorating.
Faye S. Posted on 12/27/2014
Makes it easy to change smaller tips when using a pastry bag for different decorations, i.e. cupcakes and cakes; easy to clean and fits the bags and tips well
Audrey L. from Home Posted on 12/26/2014
These are probably the best quality couplers I've ever owned. I cannot even begin to explain how many bad couplers I've used only to realize it when its to late and the icing is seeping through between the coupler and the pastry tip all over a cake. These do not leak and work perfectly.
Christine S. Posted on 12/02/2014
these standard size couplers are the right size to use with the wilton tips (smallest ones) great price, am gonna order a dozen next time!
Edith I. Posted on 11/29/2014
Works great! Good, quality plastic. I use these with featherweight and sometimes Wilton disposable bags. They thread very well (PME and Wilton tips, too). *These fit with Ateco Tube Covers.
Jennifer T. from The Ruffled Apron Posted on 10/23/2014
Very sturdy compared to other brands on the market. Fits Ateco tips very tight, with no worries about a "blow out", while piping. I purchased multiples to have on hand, because Ateco products are such great quality.
J S. Posted on 10/18/2014
If you're into decorating, having a coupler makes the job smoother as you don't need to change out the entire bag to switch tips. Simply insert the coupler in the bag, add your buttercream and attach your decorating tip. When you want a new design, switch to a new tip. Simple.
Nikki U. Posted on 10/05/2014
These are sturdy, inexpensive and clean up easily. You can never have enough of these couplers around. Buy a bunch! You'll be glad you did!
Andrew F. from Bakers Buzzin' LLC Posted on 10/03/2014
I had a really big event coming up and started back practicing cookie decorating. Needless to say I needed some couplers. Super easy to use and makes switching between tips a whole lot simpler. Fewer bags and paper cones needed.
Lauren G. from Greene Girl Pastry Posted on 09/29/2014
The ateco products are by far the best in baking! The coupler is super user friendly even for new bakers. I look forward to trying out all of the different tips!
Elizabeth P. Posted on 09/26/2014
I make a LOT of cakes for family and friends and these were so much more affordable than going to my local store to buy. I just couldn't pass them up. Same quality as higher end ones that I have used in the past. Will definitely be ordering here again!
Megan W. Posted on 09/17/2014
These are the best couplers, and the price is unbeatable. I have both Ateco and Wilton couplers, and I reach for the Ateco every time. They work with my Wilton, Ateco, and PME tips. Excellent product, excellent value.
Lisa L. Posted on 09/10/2014
Excellent price to have more of these on hand for our growing cake business - thanks Webstaurant for affordable pricing even for us small businesses :)
Steve A. Posted on 08/25/2014
This is a excited tool. Low price High quality, It's better than Wilton. The plastic is thick, Convenient Cleaning. it helps you to change tips easy.
Phoebehuang P. from Phoebe Posted on 08/19/2014
The standard coupler set worked well for all of my brands for tips as well as for the Ateco brand. I would recommend to others.
Cassie T. Posted on 08/14/2014
I bought several of these couplers so I would have some spare ones. They are a bargain and they work well. I use them with the Ateco 4712 - 12" Disposable Pastry Bags and they are a perfect fit.
Stacy T. Posted on 07/24/2014
These fit the Ateco disposable bags perfectly.
Nice couplers, it was time to replace my old beat up ones. What a joy. These are top quality and wash up nice in the dishwasher. Highly recommended!
Debra M. Posted on 07/14/2014
i have order 5 pieces of ateco standard couplers as they comes in very handy when we are decoratingwith different co;ours.. they are very good in quality
Dinakar P. Posted on 07/08/2014
The price of this coupler is outstanding and it works fantastic. It makes changing frosting tips out so easy. If I am using more than one color frosting, I prepare the frosting in disposable bags and switch them out simply dropping them into the pastry bag with the coupler already assembled.
Marche S. Posted on 07/08/2014
When you lots of frosting/icing work you need lots of couplers for sure as well. Ateco is the brand we use for our pastry needs. They compliment our other Ateco stuff very well.
Yvonne G. Posted on 06/27/2014
These couplers are great !!! durable material, easy to work with, easy clean up, fits the icing bag and icing tips and great price.. I would reccommend !!!
Serene K. Posted on 05/29/2014
Best bang for the buck and good Ateco quality, better than the bigger brand. It's hard finding small sized couplers where I live so these saved me.
Hussain M. Posted on 05/14/2014
These are awesome couplers, they fit my Wilton tips and work well with the piping bags I also ordered from this site. the price is amazing!
Ashley T. from Cakes by Ashley Posted on 04/13/2014
The Ateco 400 Standard Coupler fits most of my tips (obviously not the larger ones) and keeps them in place. It also fits inside the decorating bags sold on this site. Good buy!
Jaymee K. Posted on 04/07/2014
Fits perfectly with the cover also sold on Webstaurant
The Ateco 400 standard plastic coupler makes working with larger projects on cakes easy. The coupler makes it easy to change out the tips and use different tips with the same color icings.
Renee T. from My Sweet Escape Posted on 03/04/2014
Great Price for a great product,, better to order a few xtra just in case,, the low price makes it easy to do just that!!!!

Very nice couplers I have a lot of them now. Much better than ones I've gotten at local bakery stores. They fit bags nice with no leaking.
Cheri W. from Countryside Cakes Posted on 02/11/2014
The Ateco 400 Standard Coupler is great when using a pastry bag and needing to switch tips. I would recommend this coupler to anyone. It does the job and is a fantastic price.
Barrett T. Posted on 12/11/2013
These couplers are wonderful for decorating cakes and cookies! They allow me to change decorating tips so easily to make different shapes and styles with different colored-frosting. I love them!
My L. Posted on 11/12/2013
These couplers are great! They are much sturdier and far less expensive than the ones I use to purchase at the craft stores. I love that they are so inexpensive, because it allows them to be disposable when I get too lazy to fish it out of the piping bag when I am finished decorating.
Alicia B. from Cakes by Leece Posted on 11/05/2013
Ateco 400 Couplers
I have only ever bought the craft store couplers and these are by far superior they are sturdy and the coupler screws on snug. I never have to worry about it popping off! Will be buying more=) these are also less then half price the craft store version!
Rebecca L. from Simply Sweet Posted on 10/24/2013
When we ordered these we hoped they were the quality we expected. They are just like the other couplers that are much more expensive. We recommend these couplers.
James K. from J & B Baking LLC Posted on 10/17/2013
So far these work great in my bags, no more trying to line them up and then going on crooked. This are amazing couplers to use for my decorating.
Loretta R. from Sweet Southern Cookies Posted on 09/30/2013
Great standard coupler- Fits the tips I needed it to fit and works great with standard pastry bags- great price and quick shipping as well!
Janet D. from Dailey Enterprises Posted on 09/28/2013
A friend of mine gave me these couplers. They were a Better quality then the ones I bought at Michaels for a lot more money. I now know where (webstaurant) and what brand (Ateco) to buy.
Dana C. from Anna Mea's Bakery Posted on 09/03/2013
We love the Ateco Couplers because we do not have to waste bags of frostings just to change the tips. We have had good luck with these couplers not changing colors as well.
Brittany W. from Fix it with Frosting Posted on 08/26/2013
i purchased this item separate from the bags since they are not included with the icing/filling bags. For the price these are a great value.
Phil R. from Oak Hill Bulk Foods, Inc. Posted on 08/14/2013
This coupler is great, nice and sturdy for preparing frosting filled pastry bags, which is what I needed it for. A good buy for bakers.
Neema B. from New Era Services Posted on 07/01/2013
Great coupler which seems to me to be better maid than the wilton ones you get at the craft shops. Feels more secure when tighten than the wilton ones I already have.
Joyce G. Posted on 06/03/2013
These are great little couplers. They work great - WHEN they fit the tips and bags you have. Unfortunately, there are a variety of tip sizes, coupler sizes, and bag sizes, with very little information to direct you to the appropriate matching sizes. (at least nothing I could find). Admittedly, I'm new to this, so had no idea they weren't all interchangeable, so now I have 3 different sizes of bits, 2 different sizes of couplers, and 2 different sizes of bags and liners. This "standard" size appears to be the smallest size, but does not fit all tips - even if they look like they will. SUGGESTION to the site: PLease list the sizes as Small, Medium, or Large, along with all the matching bags, liners, and tips, so we can tell at a glance what goes with what. (I've placed two orders to get it right, but still have tips I can't use.)

I am excited to find such an outstanding price for couplers. I have seen them offered for almost 10 times as much on other sites. Having a good supply of couplers helps us use decorating time efficiently.
Midori H. from Mimi Posted on 04/05/2013
These couplers are worth buying in bulk. I always use them in my "color" buttercream bags to change tips for writing on birthday cakes that customers buy from our case. The coupler alone without a tip also is great for filling a cannoli or cream puff.
Dan l. from Baked By Dan Posted on 01/28/2013
Great coupler and super inexpensive! Get a couple and it makes frosting and decorating go by so much faster. I wish I had gotten more the first time around.
Xinwei Z. Posted on 01/18/2013
These are great couplers. I made the mistake of only getting one - so am ordering several more now. These grip the pastry bag well and keep the decorating tip taut on the end without wobbling. I'm ordering more so I can load up several pastry bags with different batters and tips at one time from now on.
S. C. Posted on 12/17/2012
Coupler holds decorating tubes (standard size) to pastry bags perfectly without leaking. Ready to pipe buttercream!
Great Little Item to have and very cheap as well!. They work amazingly keeping the tips on the piping bag while you are trying to decorate. Great product to have!
Clarence F. Posted on 11/29/2012
These couplers are perfect and priced well to have plenty on-hand for my business. They fit any decorating bags and work with all types of tips. Easy clean-up.
Amy B. from Those Nut-Free Ladies Posted on 10/09/2012
These are so economical. I am constantly fishing pieces of couplers out of my garbage disposal - now I have plenty to spare for my next project!
Patricia B. Posted on 09/15/2012
Ateco stamdard coupler is a good product. These a very large coupler and works great with large decorating tips. Happy with my purchase and will order more.
Lateisha P. Posted on 08/16/2012
The Ateco 400 Standard Coupler. It is great to have several of these,because it allows you to have several tubes of icing ready to go.Meats all your decorating needs. Thanks.
Angela H. from Harrison Familey Restaurant Posted on 05/25/2012
I've spent a lot of money on the "other brand" that you find at your local hobby stores- and these are a third of the price, and there is no difference. Save your money and get these!
Everson K. Posted on 04/30/2012
These are the most affordable couplers I have found. I've overpaid for just one before at a bakery supply shop. I will never over pay for couplers again. I use these so much, so multiples are a must.
Linell D. from Home Maker Posted on 04/18/2012
This coupler is a basic coupler but does the job while using a frosting bag. You can never have enough of these. I recommend this product.
Tristan M. from Tristan's Posted on 04/06/2012
We seem to go through these like crazy in our store, but Ateco couplers have lasted the longest! Great product and very affordable. Easy to clean and hold up nicely!
Allyson S. from Breads, Buns, n' More! Posted on 04/03/2012
A great standard coupler at a great price. I'd recommend getting multiples of this coupler so you can work with several bags of frosting at once.
Rachel B. Posted on 12/10/2011
I love my Ateco couplers. They are the best. They never leak and I use them over and over and they stay in good shape.
Andrea C. Posted on 10/22/2011
Awesome price and value. Another indispensable bakery item. We use these every single day and have over 100 of them in the shop. These are great for piping cupcakes if you screw the top assembly off instead of using a large round open tiep.
Tenneille M. from Sweet Spot Posted on 10/06/2011
This is a great standard coupler! Fits standard tips! Creates a super tight seal! Makes icing cupcakes a whole lot easier! Very inexpensive price that makes it easy to buy several!!
Eric K. Posted on 07/21/2011
Really great couplers. These create a tight seal, ensuring that your icing/batter/etc remains inside the bag, and doesn't squeeze out, while securing your tip in such a way that gives you the best control. Perfect!
Jessica S. from Carnegie Mellon University Posted on 06/10/2011
These are the perfect couplers to complement my other Ateco cake decorating sets that I have. This size fits most of the tubes and inserts that we use.
Bernie R. Posted on 03/15/2011
Of course this is a "gotta have" with the bags and tips. Without your online website I would not be able to work on my pastry skills
Sandra P. Posted on 01/12/2011
This coupler is great because it works with the standard pastry tips that I use. I am able to frost my mini cupcakes and they look great!
Jennifer T. from Intoxicating Confections Inc. Posted on 01/10/2011
I bought these couplers without knowing what size I needed for my Wilton tips and it turns out that these are a perfect match. they are durable and handy.
Jeannette B. Posted on 11/16/2010
i bought three
this is the best item to have when u like using baking tips! it allows you to easily change the shape and number of your tip without undoing all your frosing in your pastry bag!

Vatican: World Not Ending, Despite Mayan Prediction
VATICAN CITY — The Vatican's top astronomer has some assurances to offer: The world won't be ending on Dec. 21, despite predictions to the contrary.
The Rev. Jose Funes, director of the Vatican Observatory, wrote in last Wednesday's Vatican newspaper L'Osservatore Romano that "it's not even worth discussing" doomsday scenarios based on the Mayan calendar that are flooding the Internet ahead of the purported Dec. 21 apocalypse.
Yes, Funes wrote, the universe is expanding and if some models are correct, will at one point "break away" — but not for billions of years. But he said Christians profoundly believe that "death can never have the last word."
The Mayan Long Count calendar begins in 3,114 B.C., marking time in roughly 394-year periods known as Baktuns. The Mayans wrote that the significant 13th Baktun ends Dec. 21.

Modern memorial services: celebrating life amid loss
"A death in the family is a highly stressful time, when its members must not only deal with intense feelings but also with the practical necessities of both wake and interment," says Antonio "Tonyboy" Quiogue Jr., director of mortuary operations of recently merged Nacional Memorial Homes and Heritage Park Mortuary under the ownership of Rosehills Memorial Management Phils., Inc.
Quiogue is a leading industry figure whose family built Nacional Memorial Homes, a national institution that in the past 100 years, has provided mortuary services for eight Philippine presidents and the country's leading families.
"Most families don't know what to expect when they step into a funeral home. We present them with the options to help them think more clearly about how their needs can best be met with the means available," he explains.
"And we can offer advice on how they could go about making the necessary arrangements properly. Also, we solicit their inputs on what they would like to have as part of our service. It's better to visit the mortuary and not just make phone inquiries. And it's a good idea to compare packages, facilities and venues. There are different choices available. A dignified service can be held within reasonable budget parameters."
"We suggest that the bereaved family think about celebrating the life of the member who has passed on," says Hazel Villamayor-Pedro, senior manager at Heritage Park Mortuary.
"Conventionally, a wake is a painful ordeal which leaves sad memories. In contrast, families whom we have served often express appreciation that bidding goodbye to a member was made more personal and more meaningful by a contemporary approach to memorial services.
"Focusing on a person's life rather than death is a more recent trend," she says. "I always feel rewarded and enriched when families whom we have served greet us like close friends when we meet them again."
Of course, says Quiogue, the family can opt to hold a more traditional wake, for instance one where religious services are key. "Or, as we would suggest, they can celebrate the life of the deceased member with other elements, such a themed venue, music that has meaning to them, a personalized memorial program with a candlelight ceremony, good food and a memorial table with a flower setup."
He observes that younger family members tend to be more open to the idea of a modern memorial observance.
Pedro mentions that Heritage Park Mortuary was recognized recently by the International Cemetery, Cremation and Funeral Association (IIFA) based in the US, for its innovative coffee-table books that highlight the life rather than death of a family member.
"Filipinos are still conservative and traditional about memorial services. But times are changing. Honoring the memory and not simply dwelling on the loss of a loved one is a positive thing. A family can find great comfort in celebrating life amid loss," concludes Quiogue.

text: Play-Doh vs. Modeling Clay Rob April 24, 2012 Art Supplies, Sculpting for Kids Our kids love Play-Doh (And as parents we do too)! Not only is it fun for them (and us) to play with, but it helps calm them down during an "emotional crisis." You know the ones I'm talking about. Well, if you haven't tried using an art activity to bring your kid back to "reality" try one. You may be surprised. Anyways, sculpting with clay has always been a favorite of mine. As a kid I remember using Play-Doh a lot, but I also remember the first time my parents bought modeling clay…I thought I had died and gone to heaven. It's so much better! Play-Doh is great: Especially for kids around 2 years old Its extremely soft, perfect for little fingers When it dries out it's a little easier to clean up There's a lot of toys you can use with Play-Doh Personal Play-Doh side note: Why do they make it smell so bad? Do they add that intentionally, hoping that kids won't want to eat it? I think they still do. Anyways, I've never really liked the smell of Play-Doh, but it's never stopped the art :) Modeling clay is better: More fun for older kids, because it holds form better Firmer, but after a little use it softens right up Doesn't dry out Doesn't crumble Extremely cheap (I bought the pack above at Hobby Lobby and used a %40 off coupon) More colors Modeling clay side note: Clean up is a little different. Play-Doh tends to crumble and you end up vacuuming a lot of little dried up pieces. Modeling clay is usually oil based (the reason why it doesn't dry out, or crumble), so be careful about choosing the right surface for them to use the clay on. It will leave an oily residue on whatever surface it touches. Nothing a little soap can't fix, but be cautious of wood surfaces. All in all, you can never go wrong with Play-Doh in the house…but there does come a time when you should think about upgrading. Our little six year old, Jack, had a blast making the "guy" on left. He was shocked when it stayed upright…he said, "Look dad, he's standing up." Oh, I had a blast too. I made the old man's face on the right. It made Jack laugh, because he said it had so many wrinkles. Bob C I have a cool homemade play dough recipe that is great… We found out if you color it with a marker you can get any color you want…. And smells much better Rob That's awesome! Would you mind sharing it with us? We'd love to try it out. http://onFaceBook,NancyJaneValleyHolder,Temple,TX Nancy Holder The homemade Play Doh that calls for Cream of Tarter and Oil is the best! deevelyn Thanks for the info…just what I needed to decide what to buy for my toddlers. Rob Hi Deevelyn, Glad you found it useful! Also, thanks for taking the time to leave a comment. :) http://gotthewillies.wordpress.com Stacey We started using modeling clay to help with handwriting practice. We roll out the shapes of the letters we are learning to give more tactile experiences. One more positive about it is that the extra resistance helps build finger strength and fine motor skills, but our kids are just having fun! Play-doh does that too, but their little hands have to work a bit harder with the clay (which is a good thing). I had no idea that we would end up liking modeling clay so much better than play-doh – but we do find it more fun to work with. I also think it's easier to clean up, but we don't have carpet or a vacuum. Thanks for sharing your ideas on this blog! Rob Hi Stacey! That's an awesome idea for clay. If you don't mind I may use that with my own kids :) Thanks for your comment, it means a lot that you'd take the time to write. Please stay in touch! Best Regards, Rob http://OTinPublicSchools.blogspot.com Karen Being such a cheapskate I usually make an oily dough for use with kids at school but I might just grab those Sunday coupons and try modeling dough–thx for the inspiration! http://artforkidshub.com/about-the-author/ Rob Hi Karen! Awesome, glad you found the post helpful. One thing I've learned is that the modeling clay can get pretty hard…for younger kids you may have to show them how to warm it up first. I usually just tell my kids to roll it around in between their hands for a couple minutes. http://www.artforkidshub.com isha shetul sheth I love your drawings,painting.shading and more.i have more fun with your drawings it is super fun with it. http://conniechangchinchio.com/blog connie This is a great site – very fun posts. I want to find an alternative to play doh because we just find it's too messy with all the crumbs. My only concern is to find an alternative that is non-toxic. Do you know if modeling clay is non-toxic? http://artforkidshub.com/about-the-author/ Rob Hey great question! It's a hard question to answer because there are so many different types. Here are some great links on art supply safety labels. Use these to help you know what to look for when buying a new art supply: ACMI – http://www.acminet.org ACMI Safety – http://www.acminet.org/index.php?option=com_safetytips&view=safetytips&Itemid=64 ACMI FAQs – http://www.acminet.org/index.php?option=com_faqs&view=faqs&Itemid=65 Dick Blick Safety – http://www.dickblick.com/healthsafety/#labeling Hope this helps! Crafty Crowd Our kids just love modelling clay (and so do I!) Thanks for this article. Any chance of tutorials in the near future to create a pony or even a bionical (lego character)?? Many thanks.

Kent County Council gets ready for Bertha storm

Appeal for adoptive families for children in need in Kent
Anyone who has thought about adoption in Kent can now come to an open day to find out about children who need families of their own.
The information event on 19 July is part of a new adoption campaign which is focussing on 35 children in particular who urgently need to find homes. The Council is particularly keen to hear from people who could consider adopting brothers and sisters, children aged between 4 and 8 years old or those children needing extra support.
At the event, there will be a chance to talk to adopters about their own experiences, the process, and how they found their own children.
The event is taking place between 10:30 to 2pm, Saturday 19 July, Hilton Maidstone, Bearsted Road, ME14 5AA.
Could East Kent become the next 'silicon city'?
East Kent may have been taking a battering from the weather, but it could have a bright future in the high-tech industry. Business leaders have been meeting in London to discuss the potential.
They say the area has a skilled workforce, low start-up costs and good transport links - so could it become the next "silicon city"? Andy Dickenson reports.
Council to save £7m by limiting free student bus passes
Kent County Council has said that it will save around £7m by capping free bus travel for thousands of students.
The move, which will cost many families hundreds of pounds, will limit the journeys taken by 11 to 16 year olds to £350 worth of travel. For older students, passes will be capped at £250.
The Kent Freedom Pass was launched in 2006 and costs the council around £13.5m every year.
Opposition councillors have said that some students with long journeys to school and college will be penalised by the changes.
Mixed reception for SureStart changes
Campaigners admit their fight to keep children's centres open across Kent has had only limited success. The county council say cuts in Government grants mean it's not possible to keep all 97 centres running. 12 centres stretching from Westerham to Deal will shut for good.
Nineteen centres WILL stay open but with reduced opening times. The Conservatives at KCC say they had no alternative. Labour politicians have denounced the decision as shameful. Ruje Yasmin reports, talking to campaigner Hannah Arnold, Labour candidate Tristan Osborne, and Whitstable mums.
12 children's centres in Kent are to close
12 children's centres in Kent are to shut: the county council blames cuts in government funding. However 11 of 23 centres which were threatened with closure will remain open. It comes after the County Council consulted with thousands of parents.
The authority says it's come up with new ways of running them to save money and bring in some income. The centres offer help and advice to parents.
Half of threatened children's centres to close
Twelve of the twenty three children's centres in Kent which were threatened with closure will shut.
The remaining eleven centres will remain open. The announcement follows a three-month consultation in which 6,000 people took part. Kent County council says it has come up with new ways of running the surviving centres which will enable the authority to save money and bring in some income.
"We had an overwhelming response to our proposal and I would like to thank all the parents who took the time to tell us their views. They came up with some fantastic suggestions about how we could make savings and generate income with ideas such as hiring out the buildings after-hours.
"I have listened to parents and seen first-hand the impact these Centres have and, where they are vital to the community, we have found ways to keep them open. This consultation has never been about reducing services and these will continue to be delivered in alternative buildings in areas where a Centre closes. I am confident that these changes will result in high-quality, effective Children's Centres to support the children and families of Kent into the future."
Plans to close children's centres in Kent are 'not a done deal'
Kent County Council has to save two hundred and forty million pounds. It says cuts by central Government leave it no choice. Today councillors met in Maidstone to consider areas where cutbacks could be made.
But as Andrea Thomas reports, any choice they make will be unpopular with some taxpayers. And noisy demonstrators fighting plans to close children's centres were there to make their voices heard.
She spoke to some of those demonstrators and Jenny Whittle, cabinet member for children's services at Kent County Council.
Protesters gather outside County Hall in Maidstone
Children centres planned closures causes protests
Save Kent Children Centres Campaign has begun today, with protesters staging a demonstration after Kent County Council announced that 23 children centres may have to close.
The following Children Centres are earmarked for closure:
- Ashford- Cherry Blossom and Squirrel Lodge
- Canterbury- Apple Tree, Briary, Little Bees, Swalecliffe and Tina Rintoul
- Dartford- Maypole
- Dover- The Buttercup, The Daisy and Primrose
- Gravesham- Daisy Chains and Little Painters

Holistic Retreat & InstituteRead MoreBelow the red-and-blue logo of Holistic Retreat & Institute floats the phrase, "Learn, heal, grow," underscoring the center's commitment to making health and education accessible to all. Founder Dr. Alya Shabunin provides a diverse range of holistic and educational services to help her patients make lifestyle changes that can bring about overall wellness.

She also holds free weekly seminars to raise awareness about disease prevention, proper nutrition, and stress reduction.1846 Northampton StHolyoke, MA US
Northampton Naturopathic AssociatesRead MoreAt Northampton Naturopathic Associates, the on-staff naturopathic doctors address imbalances of the body and mind with a full roster of holistic treatments and therapies. After assessing an individual's medical history, lifestyle, and average weekly Play-Doh consumption, they are able to recommend a custom regimen of treatments such as homeopathy, diet and nutritional supplements, and detox services.

In addition to yoga, Pilates, and meditation, clients can unwind in an infrared sauna, which raises body temperature to detoxify organs, slenderize the body, and reduce muscle or joint pain.2 Tunxis Road Suite 209Tariffville, CT US
WellQuest LLCRead More55 may be the number in the business's name, but the certified technicians at Laser55 are partial to the number 3. That's because there are three steps to their nonsurgical weight-loss program: Lipo-Light, whole-body vibration, and an amethyst bio-mat. First, patients relax as a technician passes the noninvasive Lipo-Light laser over skin, where it penetrates fat cells and drains them. Then, they step onto the whole-body-vibration platform, which quickly shakes up muscles to trigger contractions that work to burn off the newly liquefied fat. To cap off the three-step treatment, patients lay atop an amethyst bio-mat, which kick-starts the lymphatic system while ionizing the blood to promote detoxification. This helps the body to flush fat from the system long after the appointment ends. While the staff can perform each treatment separately, they recommend their patients go through all three steps, since the laser, vibration platform, and bio-mat all suffer from severe separation anxiety. See client testimonials here.836 Farmington Ave.West Hartford, CT US
Fifth Harmony Day Spa at AvonRead MoreWith its tufted couches, lavender walls, sweeping staircase, and mirrors in ornate wooden frames, Fifth Harmony Day Spa at Avon offsets its modern treatments with Victorian-style touches.

The spa also carves out a nook for its own health-focused bistro, serving fresh salads and wraps.29 W Main St.Avon, CT US

Affordable and sporty are two descriptors that are increasingly found together as more and more automakers add a bit of spice to the entry-level segment of their lineups. Hotter engines, spicier body kits and upgraded interiors are some of the perks found on performance-oriented editions of standard subcompact, compact and mid-size cars - not to mention a driving experience that is designed to bring a smile to your face every time you put the hammer down.
Let's take a look at eight sporty cars that feature a starting MSRP of less than $25,000.
01. 2012 Honda Civic Si - MSRP $22,205
The 2012 Honda Civic Si is all-new for the current model year, and the popular sport compact - which can be had in both coupe and sedan form - continues to offer an appealing mix of nimble handling, a rev-happy drivetrain and a snappier look than the standard Civic. In addition to its performance features, the Honda Civic Si also comes with goodies such as fog lights, a rear spoiler and front air dam, a leather-wrapped steering wheel and special sport seats.
The 2012 Honda Civic Si features a 2.4-liter, four-cylinder engine that is good for 201 horsepower. Larger than the motor found in the previous motor, it offers up more torque (170 lb-ft) and helps the automobile hit 60 miles per hour in 6.9 seconds. A six-speed manual transmission is the only gearbox available with the Civic Si.
02. 2011 MINI Cooper S - MSRP $23,000
The 2011 MINI Cooper S offers subcompact shoppers an even more potent of the already agile MINI Cooper hatchback. The MINI Cooper S comes with a stiff suspension system, a dress-up interior and the option of a Sport package, which upgrades the wheels to 17 inches, add traction control and installs HID headlights. Standalone options for the Cooper S include a limited-slip differential in order to help put the vehicle's increased horsepower down to the ground.
The 2011 MINI Cooper S is gifted with a 1.6-liter, four-cylinder engine that makes use of a turbocharger to produce 181 horses and up to 192 lb-ft of "overboosted" torque. The Cooper S checks in at just a tick faster than the Honda Civic Si in the sprint to 60-mph (6.6 seconds), and both manual and automatic six-speed transmissions can be ordered with the vehicle.
03. 2011 Chevrolet Camaro - MSRP $22,805
The 2011 Chevrolet Camaro is most familiar in its eight-cylinder SS trim, but the V-6 edition of the muscle car offers a respectable level of performance of its own. It is also possible to dress up the Chevrolet Camaro coupe with the RS package in order to give it more a aggressive look that includes enormous 20-inch wheels and HID headlights. Further customization of the vehicle's exterior is also possible to mimic much of the SS edition's stage presence.
The 2011 Chevrolet Camaro's 3.6-liter V-6 is tuned to provide 312 horsepower and 278 lb-ft of torque - numbers that just a few years ago would not have looked out of place in the top-spec edition of the car. A six-speed manual transmission comes free of charge with the base model Camaro, while a six-speed automatic is also available. With the former installed the coupe can reach 60-mph in a quick 6.1 seconds.
04. 2011 Mazda MAZDASPEED3 - MSRP $23,700
The 2011 Mazda MAZDASPEED 3 is one of the most potent affordable hatchbacks on the market. With its extroverted styling, the Mazda MAZDASPEED3 is tough to miss in a crowd, and the vehicle also comes with a long list of standard features that include dual automatic climate control, a limited-slip differential, the most hardcore suspension system offered on a MAZDA compact car as well as the option of HID headlights, a surround sound audio system and a navigation system.
The 2011 Mazda MAZDASPEED3 cuts loose a ferocious amount of power from its turbocharged four-cylinder engine. The 2.4-liter unit packs a 263 pony punch, backed up by an eyebrow-raising 280 lb-ft of torque that together rocket the small hatch to 60 miles per hour in 6.3 seconds. A six-speed manual transmission handles the shifting duties for the MAZDSPEED3.
05. 2011 Hyundai Genesis Coupe - MSRP $22,250
The 2011 Hyundai Genesis Coupe provides sleek looks, the Korean company's traditionally overstuffed equipment list and a rear-wheel drive platform that makes it an intriguing entry-level track option. The Hyundai Genesis Coupe 2.0T R-Spec trim also squeaks in under the $25k limit, and it adds Brembo brakes, a limited-slip rear differential, performance rubber wrapped around 19-inch wheels and a road course-oriented suspension system.
The 2011 Hyundai Genesis Coupe 2.0T base model and 2.0T R-Spec each feature the same turbocharged, 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine. Rated at 210 horsepower and 223 lb-ft of torque and matched with either a six-speed manual or five-speed automatic transmission, this drivetrain is capable of launching the Genesis Coupe to 60-mph in approximately 6.9 seconds.
06. 2011 Volkswagen GTI - MSRP $23,695
The 2011 Volkswagen GTI is a mainstay when it comes to inexpensive and sporty automobiles. The Volkswagen GTI enjoys a reputation for balancing point-and-shoot handling with a solid and comfortable ride, and the vehicle features an interior that is bolstered by heated sport seats, air conditioning, and Bluetooth connectivity. A navigation system, HID headlights and a sunroof are optional on the GTI, and both two and four-door editions of the hatchback can be specified.
The 2011 Volkswagen GTI's 2.0-liter, four-cylinder engine is turbocharged to produce 200 horsepower and 207 lb-ft of torque. A traditional six-speed manual transmission comes with the base GTI, while a unique dual-clutch automated manual featuring launch control can also be ordered with the car. The dash to 60-mph in the Volkswagen is accomplished in 7.3 seconds.
07. 2011 Scion tC - MSRP $18,275
The 2011 Scion tC has been re-engineered in order to provide more confident handing, a stiffer ride and a look that once again manages to flaunt the dedication to style that Scion has become associated with. The Scion tC also offers an in-depth customization program that allows owners to order factory performance parts as well as body kits, interior trim pieces and entertainment gear for the compact coupe.
The 2011 Scion tC's four-cylinder engine has grown to 2.5-liters of displacement, and its 180 horsepower and 173 lb-ft of torque give it a decent punch when the accelerator is floored. The Scion tC matches the Volkswagen GTI in terms of accelerating to 60-mph (7.3 seconds), a figure which is achieved behind its six-speed manual transmission. An automatic unit, which also features six forward gears, can be ordered as the tC's lone option.
08. 2011 Ford Mustang - MSRP $22,145
The 2011 Ford Mustang continues to pull in bargain-hungry performance fans thanks to a brand new V-6 engine as well as a one of the more attractive implementations of retro styling currently available. The Ford Mustang V-6 model also offers the Pony package which gives the car a GT-like appearance, and a number of other go-fast options that help to beef up the car's suspension and brakes.
The 2011 Ford Mustang's 3.7-liter V-6 delivers 305 horsepower and 280 lb-ft of torque, channeled to the rear wheels via either a six-speed manual or six-speed automatic transmission. 60 miles per hour arrives quickly from a dig, with the six-cylinder Mustang hitting its mark in just 5.1 seconds.

Hi everyone!
So yesterday, I did WWE's Right Calls', so I figure it'd only be right if I did a 'Wrong Call' blog as well! The interesting thing about this one is it might be influenced by hindsight more than the other one, but I'll try to be as objective as I can. If you read the last blog, you'll know that my focus is really starting in and around 2002 (when I first started watching)

DATE & TIME: Sunday, November 10, 1 p.m. (et)
FACTS & STATS: Site: KSU Convocation Center (4,792) -- Kennesaw, Georgia. Television: None. Home Record: YSU 0-0, EKU 0-0. Away Record: YSU 0-0, EKU 0-0. Neutral Record: YSU 2-0, EKU 0-0. Conference Record: YSU 0-0, EKU 0-0. Series Record: Youngstown State leads, 5-3.
GAME NOTES: After both the Youngstown State Penguins and the Eastern Kentucky Colonels earned wins in the first two days of the event, they face each other on Sunday afternoon as the Kennesaw State Men's Basketball Tournament wraps up at the KSU Convocation Center.
Youngstown State had its most successful season in more than a decade in 2012-13, finishing 18-14 overall, and that momentum has carried over into the new season with wins in each of its first two games. After taking care of host Kennesaw State on Friday night (73-57), the Penguins fought back from 13 points down late in the second half on Saturday against FIU to force overtime, and in the extra session, Kamren Belin drilled the game-winning bucket with four seconds left to lift them to a 74-72 triumph.
EKU is also coming off a strong 2012-13 season, as its 25 wins was a school record, and much like Youngstown State, it has come out firing this season with two straight wins. The Colonels made easy work of FIU on Friday night, 83-61, then held off the Kennesaw State on Saturday afternoon, 68-60.
Youngstown State has a 5-3 advantage over EKU in the all-time series, most recently winning in February of 2007, 66-61.
Belin sparked the Penguins in Saturday's victory with 17 points on 4-of-9 shooting from 3-point range. He also added six rebounds and two blocks in 38 minutes of work. Kendrick Perry (15 points) wasn't at his best from the field (5-of-13), but he helped out in other ways with five assists and three steals. Ryan Weber chipped in 11 points, Bobby Hain narrowly missed a double-double with 11 points and nine boards, and DJ Cole handed out eight assists. Through two games, Youngstown State has displayed solid play on both ends of the floor, scoring 73.5 points per game while holding opponents to just 37.1 percent field goal efficiency. Perry, the second-leading scorer in the Horizon League a season ago, is off to a similar pace this year with 17.5 points per game. Weber (14.5 ppg) has been deadly from 3-point range, hitting 7-of-11 attempts, while Belin (13.5 ppg) hasn't been quite as trustworthy from beyond the arc (4-of-13).
The Colonels suffered a scare against a lowly Kennesaw State club, which has won a total of six games since the start of the 2011-12 season, as they found themselves down by two with just over 14 minutes to play in the second half. But from their they were able to rip off an 18-7 run and never looked back. EKU's guard-heavy lineup was paced by Corey Walden with 21 points on 6-of-9 from the field, including 3-of-5 from 3-point range. Marcus Lewis netted 19 points and was also efficient with his field goal attempts (8-of-11). Glenn Cosey added 15 points and four assists but shot just 3-of-12 from the floor and turned the ball over five times. EKU has made a living from beyond the arc in the early going, making 16 3-pointers through two games. Lewis leads the way with 17.5 points per game and he's only missed five of his 20 field goal attempts (.750). Cosey and Walden have poured in 16.0 points per game apiece. Cosey has contributed across the stat sheet with 5.0 rebounds, 6.0 assists and 2.0 steals per game as well.
These squads both rely heavily on the outside shot, and whichever has the hotter shooters will likely win. EKU has a solid core of talented and experienced players, but YSU has the game's best player in Perry, and if he can find his stroke down the stretch, it will be the Penguins who will get off to a 3-0 start.
Sports Network Predicted Outcome: Youngstown State 76, Eastern Kentucky 75

'It is a creation of political parties which are more interested in votes and seats than progress of people'
The Telugus have to be more careful when it comes to electing their governments.
The Telugu people are suffering today because of the insane, conspiratorial and regional politics of the different political parties that ruled the State, Lok Satta president Jayaprakash Narayan said.
Addressing a press conference here on Tuesday, Mr. Narayan said that the days, when people voted "blindly" for a political party, were gone. The Telangana issue was a creation of political parties that were more interested in "votes and seats" than progress of people. This was a big lesson for people of the State.
He said that the Union Government was behaving as if Andhra Pradesh was one of its many fiefdoms with which it could do anything. If attempts were made to force a decision taken by "Delhi" on people, the Telugus should reject it. It was not too late for people of all the three regions to come to a consensus on the issue, he opined. The decision on the division of the state should be from the Telugus, the largest linguist group after Hindi.
About the second Krishna Water Disputes Tribunal Award, Mr. Narayan said that gross injustice had been done to the people of the State because they were a divided lot unlike the people of the other two states. He said that the method used by the tribunal for the calculation of quantum of dependable waters was flawed and should be contested.
The allocation of surplus waters to upstream states also defeated the very purpose of allotment.
He said that a permanent solution to the river water problem was "immediate" linking of water-surplus Godavari to the water-deficit Krishna.
Krishna district president Chennupati Vazir and Vijayawada president B. Ashok were present.

For MCT, the technique of liquid-phase epitaxy (LPE) was demonstrated in the early 1980s and has matured to become a workhorse of the industry. Elements to form the layers are first dissolved in a melt of mercury or tellurium. The substrate is immersed in the melt and the temperature is ramped down, causing the elements to crystallize and form a layer. A second melt is used to form a second layer. N-type and p-type dopants, respectively, are included in the melts, so that the interface between layers becomes a p-n junction. The substrate for nearly all LPE growth is cadmium zinc telluride (CZT), which is chemically and physically compatible with MCT and is transparent in the IR.
Advantages of LPE are that (1) it occurs close to thermodynamic equilibrium, typically near 500°C, causing it to be relatively forgiving of defects; (2) dopants can be incorporated in a very controllable manner; and (3) excellent material quality is routinely achieved. The disadvantages are that detector structures requiring more than two layers are impractical, and it is not possible to maintain sharp interfaces between layers because of interdiffusion during growth. Also, LPE growth cannot be performed on alternative substrates such as silicon.
Molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) has become the preferred growth method for more advanced MCT device structures, such as two-color arrays for third-generation sensors, as well as avalanche photodiodes. It also enables the growth of MCT on silicon and GaAs substrates that are larger and cheaper than CZT. MBE growth is performed in an ultrahigh-vacuum chamber with the elements being emitted by hot effusion cells and depositing on the substrate, which is held at about 200°C. Sharp interfaces can be formed because the molecular beams can be turned on and off abruptly and because interdiffusion is negligible at the low growth temperature. In most cases the substrate is CZT, silicon, or GaAs.
MBE is more challenging than LPE because it is less tolerant of growth defects, and it requires very tight control of the substrate temperature and the beam pressures of the species arriving at the substrate. MBE equipment is more expensive to acquire and maintain than that of LPE. However, MBE technology has matured to the point that multilayer epitaxial structures, in which the MCT alloy composition and the doping are controllably changed several times during the growth run, are produced on a regular basis. This has enabled complex device structures in MCT that would have otherwise not been possible. Also, the ability to grow MCT on silicon has enabled the fabrication of very large focal plane arrays (FPAs). There is a large lattice mismatch between HgCdTe and both GaAs and silicon, which has severe implications for the growth process, in particular the formation of dislocations and other growth defects. Significant progress has been made in learning how to accommodate the lattice mismatch, particularly in the HgCdTe:GaAs system as discussed in Chapter 3. The availability of larger and cheaper substrates for epitaxial growth will have a major impact on the performance and cost of future HgCdTe FPAs.

Comment posted Council Elections: The count by Integrity? Not in the ConDemAll.
I have heard mixed reports about turn our ranging from sub 30% to as high as exceeding 65%.
Integrity? Not in the ConDemAll also commented
- 3,285 votes. 44.53% turn out so you are looking at an electorate of 7,377.
- I have just seen the figures for the Lomond North ward and it is abundantly clear that the school closure issue was a massive issue in the mind of the voters.
George Freeman, who supported our schools from start to finish, who was third in 2007 has jumped to first with a 38% increase in the number of first preferences he got.
Danny Kelly who blindly voted for closure despite pledging himself to supporting them (he always claimed to have a wise strategy which nobody ever actually agreed with) saw his vote collapse by a remarkable 68% going from 2nd in 2007 (only marginally behind Billy Petrie) to 2nd last out of seven (this despite 4 candidates standing for the first time in Lomond North).
My personal thanks to the people of Lomond North for showing their support for the candidate who publicly backed us and stuck to his word.
- Hard to say just now as there are a small number of candidates who it isn't clear what side of the fence they will fall on.
My speculation is that, at the moment we have:
17 of what I would say are the 'Good Guys' (i.e. not favouring Duck Walsh's Alliance),
14 'Bad Guys'
2 I am genuinely have no idea which way they will fall
and we also have three seats left to be determined by the Dunoon election
In my counts of 17 and 14 there is one in each who I have think will fall into those particular groups.
- Trail has knocked Nisbet out in Helensburgh South
- Ward 9 has a shock.
Freeman in 9 rightly so.
Kelly out (rightly so)
Corry and MacIntyre in – I must admit I didn't expect that.
Recent comments by Integrity? Not in the ConDemAll
- Fred Flintstone owns up to stone age politics
Consider my punctuation wrist slapped Thistle. You've made me a better person.
P.s. Is your slovenry use of full stops an efficiency saving?
- Fred Flintstone owns up to stone age politics
I think Carmichael should resign. However I also think:
1. Salmond should have resigned over the EU issue
2. The SNP should have withdrawn their support for Neil Hay
3. Labour should have publicly made clear that Ian Smart was not welcomed as a Labour activist and suspend his membership (assuming he is a member)
Etc etc etc
I am a sure we could all add a number of further examples.
Hypocrisy will always be alive and unwell in politics. And they wonder why turnouts ar usually poor.
- UK reform a must: but what reform for what future?
Meanwhile back in Argyll & Bute, the councillors have voted to give senior councillors an additional pay rise above and beyond the mandatory pay rise over which they have no influence.
Cllr Freeman moved an amendment that this be rejected but the motion got passed by 17 to 5. Apparently the justification is that there are now less policy leads so overall the total allowances budget has been reduced. So are we now rewarding those areas that make savings by given them some of it back?
Tough decisions and savings ahead those councillors will tell you – it would appear they don't include senior members in that process.
- UK reform a must: but what reform for what future?
Agreed Simon, this thread in particular, but a few others as well, has deteriorated into the stuff of playgrounds.
There has been some 'new' posters recently who have taken things to a particularly infantile level. Makes for tedious reading.
- Rhoda Grant MSP calls for recruits to join 'our army of 5,469 bone marrow donors'
I think it is due to a combination of success rate and money. The younger a person is the less chance of health issues and the more chance of a successful transplant. Ever registered person costs the charity money so they need to try and maximise the potential impact they can have with the resources available to them.

Right and WrongToday, one of my teachers walked up to me and asked what had been wrong with me. She said I hadn't been acting the same as when the semester had begun earlier this year.Right and Wrong by Hannawook
I told her that nothing was wrong. She quickly accused me of lying, but let it go. I don't think she's going to ever understand my problem is the fact that nothing is wrong.
Everything I had thought to be normal was actually wrong. The fact that I had friends. The idea itself that I might be good enough to talk to people, and to have people talk to me. That I might be interesting enough for people to like me for who I am, instead of somebody I pretend to be. The thought that I was worth any effort put towards me. Just the thought that I could be somebody important in life, that I could change the world, was an immature and childish thought.
The thought that I was a good person? Wrong. Every good and kind word that has ever been written, spoken, or even thought about me was wrong. My very existence is so very WRONG. The
Death PerceptionDeath. Abhorred and unwelcome. The very mention of Death brings on a wave of disparagement and ill-word. A fiend, a ghastly thief of the living, of the loved. Death belongs nowhere in the world, except in death itself.Death Perception by Hannawook
Why must we ridicule Death so harshly, when there exists no understanding of its true purpose, its true blessing? Yes, Death in pure form does not exist to bring mourning or depression. The one thing everyone agrees they hope to have, the one thing everyone looks forward to and works toward in life, is Death. How?
"I wish I never had to work again, and that all my stress would just go away. I wish life didn't feel so hard," we hear more times than there exists fingers on all the hands in the world. Does this description not sound like death? Do we understand the type of being that Death lives as? We look at one side, the side of ourselves, not the side of death, not the side of the dead.
We live to work. We work to live. Every day, we work for the next. We spend the past

We should look so good ...
Women of a certain age won't be surprised by this at all.
A survey by More magazine found 87 percent of the population believes women experience age discrimation at some point in their lives. One in five men and women ages 40-60 believe being over 40 has hurt them professionally.
The poll is part of a "Breaking the Age Barrier" special report in the November issue. Women, by the way, say age discrimination begins at 43 for women and 47 for men, while men say it happens at 42 for women and 46 for men.
So what does this have to do with movies?
Well, More magazine also asked poll respondents about the sexiest 40-plus celebrity and the winner was ... Demi Moore, who will be 46 on Nov. 11. She landed in first place, while Michelle Pfeiffer, 50, and Denzel Washington, 53, tied in second place.
None, however, are currently in any of the top 10 movies at the box office. In fact, except for a couple of titles, namely "Changeling" and "Pride and Glory," the top-grossing movies are either aimed or patronized by younger people.
