- 5.5" black square card (Foundations, Inc.)
- 4" x 3" green cardstock
- 1" x 5.25" Trick or Treat paper (#42-5518 PC Trick or Treat paper)
- 2.25" square black and gold star paper (Die Cuts with a View)
- Mandarin Orange Quills paper (Fibermark)
- Green and gold sequins, various sizes (Nicole Spangles)

- Kreinik #12 Braid 005C Black Cord
- Treasure Tape 4" x 6" sheet
- Treasure Tape Dots
- Diamond Beadlets
- Threadster
- Shallow pan or tray
- Cut one 4.5" x 3.5" piece of Treasure Tape. Peel back the white liner and lay your green cardstock in the center of the sticky tape surface. Then center this piece, red liner side up, on the front of your card. Press out from the center with your fingers to remove any air pockets. Peel the red liner off your card and center the Trick or Treat strip on the card. Press to adhere securely. Place pieces of tape under each end of the strip to adhere them also.
- Punch a stamp shape in the center of your black star paper square. Center it on your card, on the green paper. Punch a stamp from your Mandarin Orange paper. Apply a small square of tape to the back. Peel the liner off and place the orange stamp shape inside the punched hole in the black paper so the edges match. Press to secure. Cut a small square of black paper and a piece of tape just slightly larger than the square. Peel the white liner off the tape and center it on the orange stamp shape. Peel back the red liner and center the paper square over it.
- Begin embellishing your card. Use the Ribbon to make a border around the edge of the green paper. Use the Braid to make a looping design along the top and bottom of the Trick or Treat paper. Press the threads firmly into the tape, or use the Threadster tool to lay the thread.
- Use the Treasure Tape Dots to make a random design along the top and bottom of your card, in the center of your black square, and on each side of your Trick or Treat paper. Peel back the red liner on each dot, and apply a sequin. Add more sequins to your green paper, of varying sizes.
- When finished, place the card in a tray and pour Diamond Beadlets over the exposed tape. Swirl to cover fully, and tap to remove excess beadlets.

7 Days
by Staff blogger Published
Going Goon gone Author, comedian and royal offender Spike Milligan died of liver failure, aged 83. One of Britain's best-loved performers, he first achieved fame in 1951 as one of the founding members of the Goons alongside Peter Sellers, Harry Secombe and Michael Bentine. Milligan received an honorary knighthood from the Queen in 2000. He refused to pledge allegiance.
Saudi peace plan Ariel Sharon, the Israeli prime minister, gave tentative support to Saudi Crown Prince Abdullah's new Middle East peace initiative. The plan calls for a full Israeli withdrawal from Gaza, the West Bank, Arab East Jerusalem and the Golan Heights, in return for an assurance that all Arab nations would respect the state's 1967 borders. It does not call for the right of return for Palestinian refugees.
Britain nuked again The country's two atomic power operators, British Energy and British Nuclear Fuels, published a plan to build nine new reactors across the UK. The £9bn scheme, to replace several of Britain's ageing nuclear plants, is the first new building proposal for the industry since Sizewell B was completed in the early 1990s. It advocates that one of the first stations be built in Hunterston, Ayrshire, in the energy minister Brian Wilson's constituency.
Zimbabwe politician arrested As Morgan Tsvangirai of Zimbabwe's main opposition party took the lead in the election polls, he faced charges of plotting to assassinate President Robert Mugabe. As revealed in the NS last week, experts claim that a video allegedly showing the MDC leader discussing the "elimination" of Mugabe was doctored to portray Tsvangirai in a bad light.
X-Ray reprieve Donald Rumsfeld, the US defence secretary, said that prisoners at Guantanamo Bay whose cases are not heard by a military tribunal will be returned for trial in their home countries - or held in US custody "indefinitely".

As I write this on Oct. 7 I have just picked another small basket of tomatoes, zucchini and pole beans, a good month later than usual—no frost yet! I've enjoyed the perfect weather immensely though it may not bode well for the climate.
The lack of frost has also meant wild cranberries, the real ones that grow in the lush sphagnum (peat) moss of bogs, have not been frozen to a pink mush yet and it is a banner year for them. ("High bush cranberries" are really a Viburnum, not related to our plastic bag and native cranberries.) Riverside cranberries are non-existent this year because at the end of June when their flowers should have been getting pollinated, they were underwater--but bog mats float! One pond which always has at least a few cranberries was speckled red with bushels of them throughout its huge bog mat this year. In a poor year, it is still worth paddling out to the colorful mat to stand in the middle of the dizzying, dancing "cotton grass" on a breezy day.
But maybe the most fun for this "nature nut" this lovely autumn has been sitting in my Adirondack (plastic) chair and watching the frantic activity of many kinds of insects collecting pollen and nectar from the garden flowers, using my new Pentax binoculars. With a magnitude of only 6.5 but with a near focus of 1.5 feet I can see every bristle, spot, wing vein, leg, antenna, all of which help to identify the animal. Until these binos were developed, five feet was the limit, and in the swamp that meant sometimes stepping into pools of water to get far enough away to be able to focus on a dragonfly. You can see photos on the internet or in magazines like this, but this is in living, bustling color!

Street Eats, Safe Eats: Conclusion
Thanks to low start-up costs, street vending is an ideal opportunity for entrepreneurs with big ideas but little capital. Not surprisingly, following the recession, the number of food trucks on the streets exploded, with vendors selling everything from ice cream and hot dogs to crème brûlée and sushi. Consumers appreciate the diverse menus, low prices and convenience of mobile vendors.
In the seven cities studied here, street food is every bit as safe as food from a restaurant. In each of these cities, food trucks, carts and restaurants are held to the same sanitation standards, and trucks and carts did just as well if not slightly better during sanitation inspections than restaurants—and violations by all types of food businesses were rare. The notion that food trucks and carts are unsafe is simply a myth.
Sensationalist news reports like the WAVE3 story misinform both the public and policymakers. The WAVE3 report caused an uproar, with customers who bought tickets to an upcoming food-truck festival asking for refunds and some vendors saying new customers are now more reticent to try their products.18 Such misinformation has also been offered to justify laws that unfairly restrict mobile vendors' ability to compete. But this report shows that it makes no more sense to shut down or burden food trucks or carts with anti-competitive regulations under the guise of food safety than it would to shut down or burden restaurants, hotels or grocery stores.
t shouldn't be surprising that food trucks and carts are just as clean and sanitary as restaurants. Both business models rely on repeat customers, and few people are going to eat twice at a place that made them ill. With the rise of social media like Yelp, word of mouth about a business—whether good or bad—spreads further and more quickly than ever before. And one advantage of food trucks and carts is that it is easier to watch as your food is being prepared—something you simply cannot do at most restaurants. So consumers can rest assured that food trucks and carts are as clean as restaurants, and in fact are often more so.
For those policymakers concerned about health and safety, they should ensure—through inspections—that mobile food vendors are held to the same sanitation standards as restaurants.19 In this way, the public can enjoy food from vendors that is both delicious and safe while allowing entrepreneurship and economic growth to thrive.

The Risk Alert highlighted several areas of deficiencies or control weaknesses in advisers' due diligence practices as required by the Advisers Act, including:
Advisers to funds of funds and separate accounts that invest in alternative investments should read the entire Risk Alert and consider whether any changes need to be made to their current due diligence processes (and related compliance policies and procedures) to conform such processes to industry standards and/or address any noted compliance deficiencies.

For quality, it's hard to top veterans' health care
Tuesday - 6/22/2010, 3:19pm EDT
Where can you find the highest quality health care in the U.S.? There isn't one single answer, but believe it or not, many studies and independent experts point to the Veterans Health Administration as among the best. MarketWatch explains that the VA's own system-wide electronic health record, sophisticated quality-measurement tools, a coordinated approach to care, long relationships with patients and close ties to teaching hospitals, which supply a steady stream of medical residents. Some other health systems also provide excellent patient care, and every place has it weaknesses, but the VA generally stands out on quality.

Overall, the U.S. government spent $32 billion on the new drug benefit in 2006, and that's expected to accumulate to $797 billion by 2015, according to the Congressional Budget Office.
"Our findings do not necessarily mean that the Medicare Part D program is economically inefficient, because there are potential long-term health care savings when people can afford to take necessary medications," Lichtenberg said. "However, we need to think carefully about the economic implications of this program, which the federal government will ultimately have to raise taxes to pay for."
Another study in the November/December issue of Health Affairs found that overall annual out-of-pocket health spending by Medicare beneficiaries increased 50 percent between 1997 and 2003, from $1,667 to $2,501.
The study, by researchers at the Kaiser Family Foundation and University of California, Los Angeles, also found that the oldest, frailest and poorest Medicare beneficiaries spend a much greater portion of their income on premiums and health services than other beneficiaries.
In 2003, those in the top quarter of spending shelled out 30 percent of their income for health care, while those in the top 10 percent spent nearly 60 percent of their income on health care. Overall, 40 percent of beneficiaries spent more than 20 percent of their income on health.
The findings "raise important questions about how much of their incomes beneficiaries can reasonably be expected to spend on their health care and whether current out-of-pocket spending levels are affordable," the researchers wrote.

UPDATE 12/17 3 p.m.: Two women accused of stealing donated Christmas toys returned the gifts after hearing the story on the news.
'They are very truthful and apologetic that it worked out this way,' Det. Sgt. Chris Meier said.
Smithfield police explained the mother and daughter signed up for Toys for Tots for the first time this year.
'They got a call that their toys are ready. He gave them an address on S. Church street,' Meier said.
Instead of picking up the toys at an auto center on S. Church st., the couple saw the sign for Toys for Tots at the Fire Station on S. Church Street.
Authorities say the women asked a fireman if they were at the right place to pick up the toys, and when the fireman said yes, they filled up their cars.
Later that night, the mother saw the story about two women stealing the toys from the firestaion on the 11 p.m. news.
'After they saw the story on the news, they called the police at 11:10 p.m,' Meier said.
Toys for Tots coordinator Elizabeth Moose thinks it's a little suspicious that the mother and daughter would take about 60 toys for their family of five.
'I hope it was a misunderstanding,' Moose said.
When the mother returned the toys, Toys for Tots gave her more gifts for her children.
Moose said because of the coverage on 13News Now, volunteers from Gloucester donated more than 300 toys for children in Smithfield.
'Now we will be able to serve more children. I'm glad the Grinch didn't steal Christmas,' Moose said.
UPDATE 12/17: A Toys for Tots group from the middle peninsula donated 300 toys and 4 bikes to the Smithfield Toys for Tots Tuesday.
SMITHFIELD -- Smithfield Police are looking for two women who they say stole toys from a fire station that were intended for the 'Toys for Tots' program.
Authorities say an actual worker for Toys for Tots, Elizabeth Moose, went to the station on Church Street to pick up some of the toys. She didn't have enough room in her car for all the toys so she told the firefighters she would, or someone else, would return for the toys.
When Moose returned three hours later, she found out someone else picked up the toys. Moose says ' They were really good presents, good toys, some had some value to them.We Would have used them for our number one toy in each bag. Probably 30 to 40 of them.'
Smithfield Police Sergeant Chris Meier says 'A light blue minivan pulled up and two black females one late 40's one early 20s showed up and told the fire fighters they were there to pick up the toys for tots box. Firefighters didn't think anything of it because the lady told them she would be back or someone else would be back for the toys.'
Moose referred to the thieves as a Grinch, like in the popular Dr. Seuss book, HOW THE GRINCH STOLE CHRISTMAS, 'All they had to do is ask for the toys and we would've given them the toys, ' she says.

Our activists in Sweden are keeping up the fight against genetic contamination. Two weeks ago they blocked the warehouse of the chemical company BASF holding its genetically modified (GM) Amflora potato. This morning we stopped a tractor to prevent the Amflora potato from being planted. It was a short lived activity as this tractor, and its dubious potato planting, had a police escort who moved quickly to arrest the activists.
The approval of Amflora breaches EU law, as the potato contains an antibiotic resistance gene. This gene can potentially be transferred to bacteria which can cause tuberculoses. The result is that people suffering from tuberculosis can no longer be cured with antibiotics. That's why we're calling on the Swedish government to join other countries in banning Amflora. We are also demanding a withdrawal of the approval from the European Commission.
BASF claims that their potato is for industrial use only. But, reality shows that Amflora last year received an approval from the European Commission for cultivation, processing, use as feed and even for use in food of up to 0.9%. In other words, Amflora has approval to contaminate the food chain.
Other European countries like Austria, Greece, Hungary and Luxembourg have already banned the Amflora on their territory. Hungary, together with other Member States, has even filed a law case against the European Commission to get the approval withdrawn. "The Commission rubberstamped the approval of risky Amflora and the Swedish government did nothing but watch. So if they do not act, we have to act", says Ludvig Tillman at Greenpeace Sweden.
In short: what we see happening here is that the financial interests of a company like BASF being ranked higher than the health interests of the European public who by a large majority reject the cultivation of GMOs.
We need YOUR help now.
TAKE ACTION! Please ask the Swedish government to ban the cultivation of Amflora - just like other European countries already have.
Check out the contamination debacle BASF was responsible for last year in Sweden.

PORTLAND -- A Forest Grove teen pleaded guilty Thursday in connection with the crash that killed two young stepsisters playing in a pile of leaves in October.
Mario Echeverria, 18, was sentenced to 13 months in prison for hindering prosecution after the crash, according to the Washington County District Attorney's office.
Police said he and 18-year-old Cinthya Garcia Cisneros were driving home Oct. 20 when they hit and killed 11-year-old Abigail Robinson and 6-year-old Anna Dieter-Eckert, who were playing in the leaves near their home.
Court documents showed Cisneros was driving the SUV. Police said she felt a big bump after driving through the leaf pile but didn't stop.
Her younger brother returned to the scene and found Cisneros had run over a child.
Instead of going to police, investigators said Echeverria took the SUV to a car wash to destroy evidence.
According to Oregon sentencing guidelines, someone with no criminal record would likely get probation for hindering prosecution. But as a juvenile, Echeverria was convicted of 1st degree sodomy, so the sentencing guidelines were stricter for him.
Cisneros remains in custody. She had pleaded not guilty to failure to perform the duties of a driver to injured persons.

Portsmouth chief executive Peter Storrie has rubbished reports linking Niko Kranjcar and Sol Campbell with a summer exit, making clear in the process that the club have had no contact regarding either player.
Storrie has underlined that Pompey are not looking to sell any of their senior first team performers when the transfer window opens this summer.
Croatia international Kranjcar has certainly been one of those but Storrie insists there is no truth to reports that Arsenal have shown an interest in the gifted midfielder.
"We are not in a position where we need to sell any of our players," said Storrie in the Portsmouth News.
"Some players might want to move on and some might not - you never know in football. But generally speaking, we are not looking to sell any players.
"As regards to all of this supposed interest in Niko, it was the first we heard about it.
"We don't know anything about it, Arsenal don't know anything about it and Niko doesn't know anything about it. So you can take it as the usual rubbish speculation that goes on at this time of the year.
"We've had no contact from any club with regards to our players. We've had no enquiries at all."
The link between Campbell and a move to Spain has been floating around for some time and Storrie is giving the latest reports little credence.
"That one seems to crop up every single summer, but nobody actually knows anything about it," he added. "It's a peculiar one.
"Who knows where it comes from? Sometimes it's the agents, sometimes it's the clubs, you never know what the background is.
"The facts are there have been no enquiries for Sol or anybody and we are not looking for any."

Minister for Urban Development, Law and Parliamentary Affairs S. Suresh Kumar directed officials of the Mangalore City Corporation (MCC) not to renew trade licenses of those occupying areas in commercial buildings meant for parking.
Addressing officials at a review meeting here on Wednesday, Mr. Kumar said that notices should be served to those who had set up shops and business establishments in parking spaces, especially the basements of commercial buildings, before evicting them.
The Minister clarified that Section 112-C of the Karnataka Municipal Corporations Act, 1976, which deals with penalties on illegal buildings, is applicable for collection of property tax from owners of such buildings, who evade taxes.
The provision cannot be misused for allotting door numbers, supplying water and power connections, Mr. Kumar said.
Deputy Commissioner V. Ponnuraj warned against the "abuse" of provisions of Section 112-C. Its liberal use would "lay out the red carpet" for further violations, Mr. Kumar added.
MCC Commissioner K. N. Vijayaprakash said the civic body had entrusted a team from Shri Dharmasthala Manjunatheswara College of Business Management here to prepare a parking policy. The policy framework is expected to be ready in ten days, he added.
MCC staff
Mr. Vijayaprakash said that 456 sanctioned staff posts were vacant in the MCC. To this, the Minister asked the civic body to send a list of requirement to the Government.
Mr. Kumar suggested that the staff of the civic body could start wearing uniforms from August. Minister in-charge of Dakshina Kannada J. Krishna Palemar, Mayor Rajani Dugganna and Chairman of Mangalore Urban Development Authority B. Madhava Bhandary were present.

I'm looking for a laptop to design on when I need a break from my desk. I wanted something that could run photoshop really quick and had a good display with a wide viewing area. What do you think of this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834115869&Tpk=Acer%20Aspire%20AS8943G-9319
18,4" sounds good to work with. Since I got used to the 27" cinema in front of me it's a pain to even open Photoshop on my 15" MBP
All the best,
Yes, this laptop is pretty good. Only one thing… I would advice you to buy a notebook with similar characteristics but with nVidia graphic card for the best and fastest work in Photoshop (and other Adobe products). This is because then you can use OpenGL Drawing function. When it's enable you can use some cool features in new CS4 and CS5 versions: dynamic pan, slim zoom etc. I consider it's very handy
Regards, – Alex
Get a Sony VAIO . I have the VPCEE31FX and it's amazing. It came with Google Chrome, so no need to open Internet Explorer, plus it's just… amazing.
That's a good one, runs smoothly, the only issue is the size , not easily portable plus 10pounds, other than that definitely worth the price.

Attached to Kimball's steering wheel is a glucose monitor, which keeps track of his blood sugar levels during races. A wireless patch on Kimball's arm feeds information into the monitor for Kimball to read.
In addition, Kimball has two drink tubes that feed into his helmet: one that provides water and one equipped with orange juice, to keep him hydrated and supply him with extra sugar if needed.
Kimball said that so far, there hasn't been a time in which he has had to pull over or dispense any orange juice.
"I can't think of a situation where I've felt at a disadvantage because of diabetes. It's just one more piece of information that I have to take in during the race."
Kimball proved that by winning his first IndyCar race at the Mid-Ohio stop in August. He also posted top 10 finishes in nine other races in 2013.
With race car driving representing one of the most competitive activities across the sports landscape however, there have been questions from other drivers regarding Kimball's success.
But one examination of his car usually squelches any thoughts of him having an advantage.
"Other drivers have been very supportive," Kimball said. "This is obviously an extremely competitive sport so they're curious as to how I do what I do and making sure that they are not at a disadvantage because of it. But the added weight of the monitor and the extra fluids let's them know I'm overcoming some challenges."
Kimball's initial motivation revolved around his personal success. But now that he has seen the effects of his success on the lives of others, Kimball feels as if he's racing for a community rather than a racing team.
"Racing can be very selfish. But with diabetes, every time I get in the car, whether I finish first or 21st, being out there and competing at the highest level and racing successfully is a victory for many people around the world."
A 2010 Time Magazine article labeled Kimball "a rock star within the diabetes community." He often visits hospitals during the IndyCar season, like Wednesday's visit to Miller Children's, to talk to kids with diabetes and show that it can be overcome.
"Most people don't enjoy hospitals, but for me, I really enjoy the interaction," he said. "I get to hear the stories of others with diabetes and share mine. I have truly been inspired by those stories, too many times to count. It keeps racing in perspective."
In regards to the race itself, Kimball said that the Long Beach Grand Prix has come to feel like home, and a victory there would be one of his crowning achievements.
"Long Beach Grand Prix is of one the highlights of the season. I used to go to the race as a kid with my dad. I have a lot of support here and it's one of my favorites of the year."

Bradley Handwerger / WWLTV.com Sports Reporter
Email: email@example.com | Twitter: @wwltvsports
METAIRIE, La. As the Saints' slogged through 2012, working their way to the second-most total yards in team history, something other than the defense seemed askew.
It was the balance, or lack thereof, on offense. Even as Drew Brees was guiding to the team to 6,574 total yards, it didn't feel so much like the franchise's next-best total behind the NFL record.
In fact, 2012 marked the most imbalanced season in the Payton Era as far as yards are considered and run-to-pass calls are taken into account.
The good news?
Sean Payton made it known upon his return from suspension that balance would be returned.
'He said make sure that we're committed to it,' offensive coordinator Pete Carmichael said. 'The years we've been successful around here is when we have great balance. We just have to get back to that.'
Carmichael, in fact, is spot on.
Of three of the four seasons in which the Saints finished with double-digit wins, the common factor was better offensive balance.
In 2006, New Orleans had a 53.9-to-46.1 percent pass-to-run ratio. In 2009, the Super Bowl season, it was 52.7-to-47.3 percent ratio. And in 2011, when the Saints set an NFL record for yards in a season with 7,474, there was a 59.2-to-40.8 ratio.
The four other seasons? They didn't run the ball on more than 39.3 percent of their total plays for the season.
The only aberration is 2010, when New Orleans finished 11-5 but had a 61.9-to-38.1 percent pass-to-run ratio. But even then the run game finished 28th in the NFL.
In the past four seasons, the Saints' best teams have come when the run game has been near the top of the heap, finishing 13-3 in both 2009 and 2011 with a run game ranked sixth in the league each time.
Certainly chasing points plays a part in the imbalance, but when the offense is in balance, everything falls into place.
'We want to be very complementary where the run game is setting up the pass and the pass is setting up the run,' quarterback Drew Brees said. 'You've got a defense on their heels worrying about there's so many ways they can hurt us in the run game with the backs and the receiving corps and the tight end corps. That's the world we want to live in.'
So, how do you correct it?
Through seven practices of fall camp, several players have said there has been greater focus on the run game.
'Like Payton said, he wanted to establish the run game this year and we're showing it a lot,' running back Pierre Thomas said. 'He's calling a lot of run plays in practice and we're executing very well.'
And beyond plays, Carmichael said more attention has to be paid in the class room and to learning the playbook while guard Jahri Evans expressed it comes down to each individual holding themselves accountable.
'It starts with pad level,' Evans said. 'It starts with defensive recognition. In individual, we practice it. We're running the ball. We're doing run plays the whole time in individual.'
Ultimately, there's only so much that can be said about it, Evans said.
'I don't know how much more you can talk about it,' the All-Pro lineman said. 'It's just about getting it done.'

Aron Leaman
Glass Gourds
Everlasting Gourds
Working out of his studio on Cape Ann in northeastern Massachusetts, Aron creates each pumpkin and gourd from molten glass that he skillfully manipulates and sculpts using blow pipes and carved molds. The colors are rich and vibrant, and the way the light plays on the smooth, grooved surfaces is incredible. Each unique piece, signed by the artist, has a vibe all its own.
Fall foliage is fleeting, but these sculptural beauties are ready for a long life beyond Halloween and Thanksgiving.
Ann Read More Read Less
Grommet Launch Conversation
Hello Everyone, I hope all is well and fine in the your world. I have been making my fall harvest one pumpkin at a time getting ready to show and share today. The fall is a wonderful time and perfect weather to blow glass. The heat has left and I go from drinking two gallons of water to now only one. The pumpkins are a true pleasure to make in my favorite season. I am ready for questions and I hope you decide to brighten up your home with color, smiles, and glass. If my answers are brief it is because I will be answering them via text and I am not very fast. I hope you enjoy the pumpkins as much as I do making them.
Absoulutely Beautiful, love them...the idea...and have always truly loved all blown glass. Wish I could do it but it's a God given talent & art I wasn't blessed with. I really Love your work just thought u should be recognized for it even though I'm unable to purchase any @ this time but if I could afford it I'd definately buy some.
Thanks for Your Time
@ Amii Thanks for the compliment. I think you should try blowing glass, your talent will come with time and dedication. I hope you will consider these pumpkins if you need a gift sometime,
It would be helpful to have sizes of each piece.
@ Barbara: Large pumpkins - approx. 3.5 inches tall
Large gourds - 5 inches tall
Small pumpkin paperweights - 2.5 inches tall
@ Barbara: The dimensions and other info like the beautiful gourds are created in Massachusetts are in the DETAILS tab (under video & photos) on the featured Grommet page.
I really love your pumpkins. I think they would look great in my window with the light shining through them.
@ Ellen Thanks let the light shine on through.
I went to my Daily Gromit email today and saw the pumpkins and thought of you immediately and then saw your name! I knew it was YOUR work... I purchased a couple of pumpkins from you at a craft show in Lexington a few weeks ago. I absolutely love them, I purchased one as a gift and had to have one for myself, a real treat! It was so nice meeting you in person, you are an excellent craftsmen and I look forward to seeing more of your work!
@ Mary Ann I hope your friend enjoyed her gift. Spread the word and will see you around. Aron
I would like to purchase the small pumpkin paperweight alone. Will this ever be possible?
@Sally: The small pumpkins only come in the orange and purple sets. We are the only online retailer of this collection and in order to make them available in multiple colors, we needed to focus and simplify our offering. We hope you'll consider getting a set, gifting the larger pieces and keeping the little one for yourself. Although it is a bit bigger, the medium blue pumpkin makes a terrific year round paperweight too.
Wonderful glass works! Hope mine arrive in time for Thanksgiving! Thank you Aron.
@Linda Flores It definitely will. I have sent out all of the orders from the 12th and 13th. Aron
I'm getting older and I trying to downsize as it is now.
I love these blown gourds. I just came back from Seattle and love glass blowing.
They are beautiful....keep up the great work.
really really nice
@ denise Keep them in mind for a gift! I always say out with old in with the new. Have a great day.
beautiful work !!
RED pumpkin
RED pumpkin
@JANET We will see it can be done, but for now this is it. Keep checking back.
I love the "whimsy" in your design......you make a dreary day happy!
I appreciate your art & approach to your design, thank you!.
Suzanne Madrid
I love these pumpkins! I have the orange set and plan on purchasing the green one soon. They are wonderful and sometimes I just sit and stare at their beauty. I did not realize you had them in purple until today. You bring much joy and beauty into this world with your talent so please keep up the good work. I will be checking this site for more of your designs on a regular basis. Sometimes happiness can be bought!
Deana Fitzpatrick
I would like to order the set of three orange pumpkins, but it sold out. Can you make some more?
@ Emily Alpert: Will be sure to let you know when available.
The launch day conversation has ended. Please direct further questions about this Grommet to our Community Experience Team.

Holder released from hospital after feeling faint
Thursday - 2/27/2014, 4:52pm EST
Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Attorney General Eric Holder was hospitalized for several hours Thursday and treated for an elevated heart rate after experiencing lightheadedness and shortness of breath, the Justice Department said.
Holder arrived as a precaution at a Washington hospital around 10:30 a.m. and was given medicine to restore his heart rate to a normal level. He was discharged less than three hours later after completing a series of tests. He walked out of the hospital on his own and was sent home to rest Thursday afternoon, according to a Justice Department statement that described him as "alert and in good spirits." A heart attack was ruled out.
The Justice Department said Holder experienced similar symptoms several years ago, but the symptoms were milder then and did not require serious medical attention.
Holder, a trim 63-year-old, is known inside the department for bypassing the elevator and taking the stairs at a brisk pace to reach his fifth-floor office. He also plays basketball.
The White House says President Barack Obama was notified and wished Holder a "speedy recovery."

Sorry to hear about your MPG dansy_d.
Something sounds wrong, because i have a very short commute ( 2miles each way) and i am getting around 25-27 MPG and have about 3000 miles total.
Now that i think about it, we run most of our errands in the focus.
So, maybe 85-90% city driving.
And trust me, I have not used premium fuel but i dont drive too aggressive either.
I don't know why you are getting so low.... good luck.

ROPE RESCUE at grain bins
Getting ready to Rappel.
Members of the Gothenburg Volunteer Fire Department had an all-day training Friday night, Saturday and Sunday morning at the All Points Cooperative bin site along Highway 30.
Fire chief Mark Ballmer said the department had their first rope rescue class two years ago and then bought equipment which is required for the state fire marshal to do the training. Ballmer said the training was needed so the department has a way of getting someone injured from a high place, such as an elevator, bin or roof or from a low area (like a canyon or boot pit where he or she can be treated. Pictured is Keith Williamson (far right) as he gets ready to rappel. Trevor Anderson is to Williamson's right. The others are from the State Fire Marshal Training Division.

Secretary Chu Announces Simulation-Based Engineering User Center
PITTSBURGH, Sept. 16 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ — U.S. Department of Energy Secretary Steven Chu today announced the creation of the Simulation-Based Engineering User Center (SBEUC) that will facilitate collaborative computational research for energy applications. Funded with $20 million from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, the SBEUC will be primarily used for developing and deploying the simulation tools developed under the Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) Simulation Initiative (http://www.energy.gov/news/9460.htm). Through enhanced ability to predict industrial scale performance, the development of the SBEUC will accelerate the research and development of CCS technologies and support the Administration's goal to overcome the barriers to widespread, cost-effective deployment of CCS within 10 years.
"Today's announcement represents a major step forward in the fight to reduce carbon emissions from coal-based power plants," said Secretary Chu. "This center will not only help fight climate change, it will create new jobs and position the United States as a leader in carbon capture and storage technologies for years to come."
The SBEUC announced today will provide resources in national laboratories to advance the following areas:
- Development of a high performance computing user center as a platform for utilization of the advanced simulation tools
- Accelerating the deployment of industrial carbon capture technology through enhanced ability to predict industrial scale performance
Located at the Department's National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL), the SBEUC will be powered by a high performance computer that will allow researchers to simulate phenomena that are difficult or impossible to probe experimentally. The results from simulations will become accessible through user centers that provide advanced visualization capabilities and foster collaboration among researchers. The SBEUC will be used for developing and deploying simulation tools required for overcoming energy technology barriers quickly and reliably.
For more information about today's announcement and the Carbon Capture and Storage Simulation Initiative visit DOE's Office of Fossil Energy (http://www.fossil.energy.gov).
