With holiday parties filling your calendar, don't forget to show your hostess some love. Give thanks with a beautiful handmade gift. These easy crafts ideas are as fun to make as they are to give.
Pretty tea towels are an easy and practical gift. Stamp your own for a more personalized present. Choose your stamp depending on the holiday, season, or your hostess's decor.
Make one of these easy-sew mug wraps for your hostess to use on her to-go cup, or make them in multiples for her next tea party.
Guarantee your hostess a few good soaks with bath salts you mix up and gift in test tubes. In a bowl, blend coarse Dead Sea salt and an organic skin oil, such as macadamia nut oil, with a spoon. Stir until the salts are saturated. (You want the mix to be neither runny nor dry.) Add a few drops of lavender oil and mix well. Divide into test tubes. Top with a pinch of lavender flowers, and seal the containers.
A perfect holiday gift, this metallic plate will sparkle on your hostess's table. Start by spray-painting a serving tray with a metallic color. Create a stencil by pressing an evergreen sprig under a stack of books for a few hours, then spray the sprig with spray adhesive, and arrange it on the tray, pressing in place. Spray the entire tray with a satin-finish spray paint in a contrasting color. Remove the stencil and apply several coats of finishing spray.
A tray is a helpful addition in any room. Personalize the gift with a map of your hostess's favorite vacation spot. Trim the map to the tray's dimensions and attach it with spray adhesive. Cover the map with glass for a long-lasting finish.
Lavender-filled pillows are easy to sew, and can be used to soothe tired eyes or freshen clothing.
To make one eye pillow, you'll need to make two cases--one from muslin to hold the rice, lentils, and lavender mix and a second decorative case to enclose the muslin pillow. To start, cut decorative fabric into a 5x18-inch strip; fold in half with right sides together and iron. Cut muslin fabric into a strip 4-1/2x17-1/2 strip; fold in half with right sides together and iron. Stitch around open sides of each folded rectangle, using a 1/4-inch seam allowance and leaving a 1-1/2-inch opening. Snip corners; turn right side out and press. Mix 1-1/2 cups of a rice-and-lentils mixture with 1 to 2 tablespoons fresh lavender in a bowl, adding a few drops of lavender essential oil. Adjust the amount of lavender and lavender oil according to the fragrance desired. Using a funnel, pour the filling into the opening of the muslin pillow until the pillow is just over half full. Sew the opening closed. Insert the muslin bag in the decorative fabric case; sew opening closed.
Kraft paper and a piece of linen fabric come together for an easy and elegant wine-bottle wrap. It's a great gift for almost any occasion. Secure the wrap with a cord (we used suede), and add a stamped label.
Make a custom tea blend and seal it in individual bags for an easy holiday gift. Fill heat-seal tea bags with a loose tea blend you make or buy. Cut a length of decorative twine and insert it into the bag, keeping it in the center of the bag opening. To seal, press down on the edge with an iron. Glue on an embellished tag. Pair tea bags with honey sticks and a teacup to complete the kit.
Repurpose old or secondhand sweaters to make this cozy throw. Use 9-inch squares of felted wool fabric, and arrange them in a pattern. Sew the horizontal rows together first, using a 1/2-inch seam allowance. Then sew the vertical rows together, matching the seams. Sew perle cotton ties at the intersections. Use a flannel sheet to back the quilt, and topstitch 1-inch from the edge around the perimeter to finish.
If your hostess is a tea or coffee drinker, she'll love relaxing with a personalized cup and saucer. Decorate a ceramic cup and saucer with a ceramic paint pen. Design the set with your hostess's initials, a favorite quote, or a decorative motif to complement her home.
To-do lists get brighter when you stitch colorful circles onto a plain notebook. Sketch your design on a blank sheet of paper. Attach the sketch to the cover of the notebook using masking tape, making sure to wrap tape around to the inside of the front cover to prevent the design from shifting. Place the cover on a cutting mat and pierce holes using a large needle or paper piercer, taking care to evenly space holes. (Tip: When approaching a curve, bring the holes a little closer together to achieve smooth lines.) Remove the pattern from the cover and stitch using four strands of embroidery floss for each color. Knot on the inside of the cover.
This rustic felt nut bowl is perfect for giving at a cozy holiday party. Cut two 10-inch squares -- one from felt and the other from woven cotton. Fold the edges of the cotton square and pin it to the felt. Stitch the squares together. Form the bowl by folding up the sides, sewing around the bottom, and leaving about 1-1/2 inches not sewn at each corner. Using embroidery floss, gather each corner with an X stitch.
Decorate a gift canister or bottle of wine with these easy-to-make clay tags. Knead polymer clay in your hands until soft; roll to 1/4-inch thick on a textured mat. Peel clay off the mat and turn over so the smooth side is on a cutting surface. Cut tag shapes using mini cookie cutters. Create a hole for hanging using a thin-point modeling tool and bake in the oven between two pieces of parchment sandwiched between two ceramic tiles at 200˚F for 30 minutes.
Bring a bouquet of flowers to the party in this elegant hand-decorated vase. Use a white oil-base marker to create a design on a plain ceramic vase.
Commemorate a trip you shared with the hostess with a framed map set she can hang in her home. Trim a current or vintage map to fit your frame(s). For a smooth look, mount the map to a thicker backing, such as cardstock, with spray adhesive.
Dress up your hostess's kitchen with linen that's almost too pretty to use. The design might look elaborate, but the stitch is simple.
Find a letter style you like (look in books or magazines or try free font sites) and enlarge on a copier to the desired size. Transfer the design to the fabric with a washable fabric marker, and place it in an embroidery hoop. Using a needle and three strands of embroidery floss, make running stitches (or your desired stitch), following the design. Knot the thread on the back after the last stitch.
Put sewing essentials in a jar topped with a pincushion for a mending kit that's beautiful and a joy to use.
Start with a canning jar, and gather essentials to fit inside: spools of thread, mini scissors, a tape measure, a piece of felt for storing needles, a sealed container to store pins, and a thimble. Make the pincushion top by stitching two circles of fabric together with wrong sides out; leave a 1-inch-wide opening. Turn right side out and stuff with filling. Stitch the opening closed and sandwich pincushion between the metal lid and screw band.

Publisher's Description
Something That Lasts by James David Jordan is a somber book, dealing with the issues of adultery, suicide, death, and, finally, the hopeful rays of forgiveness. As David rebuilds his life in a small Texas town, Sarah tries to cope with the trials of single motherhood while young Jack nurtures his hatred toward his father and bitterness toward God, until that anger starts to define him. Ten years pass. Then twenty. The gap between father and son is now too wide to see across.
Sometimes it isnt until one reaches rock bottom, when hes convinced hes lost everything, that he finds a small ounce of hope. Jordan has crafted a book that shows, not tells, and paints David, Jack, and Sarah with colors that we can interpret and relate to. In almost every scene, readers are not only right there in the room, but also inside each characters head, seeing what he or she sees, feeling what is felt, and tasting the pain as if it is all happening to close friends.
Though most of the book flows seamlessly, a few of the scenes, including the climactic church scene, which is a little over-the-top, do too good of a job at portraying how tough life is for the Parsts. By the end of the book, almost everything bad that could have happened to them, indeed, has happened. This took away some of the realism, but strong character development more than made up for it.
The time jumps are handled as smoothly as possible, but can still disorient the reader. Though it takes a few pages to get back into the story and adjust to all the changes and new characters, Jordan weaves past and present so well that he can get back into the story from the first page and not lose the reader.
The ending isnt one of happily-ever-after. Years are wasted that can never be reclaimed, and decisions are made that can never be reversed. But we see, more than anything, that God has to be involved for true healing to take place, and when the characters finally see His hand at work, its a moment for celebration.
With Something That Lasts, James David Jordan takes his first step as a novelist, and its a very natural, very powerful stride. His ability to set real-life struggles in a seemingly realistic world and, most importantly, to pave the way directly to the Answer to those struggles, makes him an author well want to hear from more. Elizabeth G. Goldsmith, Christian Book Previews.com
Product Reviews
Donna5 Stars Out Of 5March 16, 2009DonnaI just finished reading this book and absolutely loved it! The author told a wonderful, sometimes heartwrenching story of how one man's wrong choice hurt his family and himself for decades to come. Ultimately, it is a story of the forgiveness and healing that is available to all of us...no matter how terrible the sin.I highly recommend this book; it is a great read!
Vanita1 Stars Out Of 5August 12, 2008VanitaI didn't care for the book, neither did my mom. It is not a book I will reread, in fact I am planning on selling it. Not a keeper for me.
Harriet Klausner5 Stars Out Of 5June 22, 2006Harriet KlausnerThe Post-Dispatch named Reverend David Parst one of the fifty most influential leaders in the St. Louis area. David has a loving wife Sarah and a delightful twelve year old son Jack. His flock at the O'Fallon Bible Church thinks the world of him. He has everything going perfectly.
At church on Sunday David asks his congregation whether there is anything anyone had to say; a minor gesture that always resulted in accolades or silence. Not this time. Ted Balik rises and claims that David is having an affair with his wife Erika before walking out of the edifice to shoot himself. David is stunned as his wife demands he leave, his son is devastated, and the congregation fires him. Seeking redemption, David becomes pastor to a small church in Elsa, Texas.
A decade later David still needs forgiveness from his family and the Lord, but has no hopes as he keeps track of them albeit from a distance like serendipitously watching Jack play college baseball. Jack has become a corporate lawyer who abuses his wife Katie; she flees with their daughter Lynn to live with Sarah.
Though a deep Christian character study that looks closely at the impact of a major sin, the protagonist could have starred any person, regardless of religion, abusing their position of power that includes trust in the individual. Thus James David Jordan makes a strong case that a transgression involving trust can prove to be SOMETHING THAT LASTS for a lifetime (and more) as the sins of the father reappear in the offspring. Repenting and even redemption does not always erase the sin as life is not an etch a sketch; this is superior morality fiction as the key players involved with the scandal seem genuine at the time of the adultery and years later.

Ghana's mixed fortune as a dumping ground for e-waste
28 Jun 2012 07:26 GMT | Politics, US & Canada, Latin America, Bolivia, United States
It was a bitter dispute which saw hundreds of Bolivian police officers protest outside the presidential palace in a demand for higher wages.
"I don't see it [the police strike] as a coup in the making. I see it as a labour action. The police were disappointed with their low level of salaries relative to some of their peers. They were also disappointed with the very harsh disciplinary code that was being forced through."
- Eric Farnsworth of the Council of the Americas
And amid the acrimony, Bolivia's president, Evo Morales, while thanking his supporters, also accused the strikers of setting the stage for an attempted coup."Many thanks to all of you for your rapid reflection and condemnation of this attempt to carry out a coup. We will document on another day how they were trying to organise it and when they can't do it, they say there was no attempt to do a coup. They are experts at lying and causing confusion but they are not going to fool us with the lies brothers and sisters," he said.Earlier on Wednesday, after a week of strikes, a deal seemed to have been reached, bringing officers' base pay roughly in line with other public sector employees.But it is not the end of Morales' problems.Also on Wednesday, more than 1,000 indigenous protesters planned to complete a 600-kilometre march on the capital, La Paz, as part of a long-running dispute over a planned highway through their ancestral homeland.
"If you don't pay them [the police] enough they could be hired by organised crime or other groups, so it's the boomerang of the security assistance that we [the US] provide that create these institutions which become very problematic in the long run, when they boomerang back."
- Sanho Tree, a Latin America security analyst
The march follows months of social unrest in the country - from miners, doctors and others frustrated at the low standard of living.So, what does it mean for Morales, Latin America's first indigenous president, who overwhelmingly won two elections on a platform of transforming the fortunes of the poorest of South America's worst-off country?Pablo Solon, who served under Morales as Bolivia's UN ambassador, recently wrote an open letter to the president regarding the Amazon highway protesters, urging him to do more for indigenous groups.He told Al Jazeera: "There has been some kind of contradiction between what we wanted to do and what we have really achieved … inside the Bolivian government there are two tendencies, one that says we should follow the traditional development model and the other that says we should follow a new paradigm … we call it 'living well', not only in harmony between humans but between humans and nature."Inside Story Americas asks: How damaging to Morales are the protests in Bolivia?Joining presenter Anand Naidoo to discuss this are guests: Kathryn Ledebur, the executive director of the Andean Information Network; Sanho Tree, a Latin America security analyst from the Institute for Policy Studies; and Eric Farnsworth, the vice-president of the Council of the Americas.
"It's very complicated when you talk about Morales' role and responsibility or the efforts that he makes for indigenous people because who is an indigenous person in Bolivia? So a Morales programme to benefit indigenous people is not very straightforward."
Kathryn Ledebur of the Andean Information Network

Here's an expression on the president you probably haven't seen before: He's imitating gymnast McKayla Maroney's "not impressed" look.
The president met with members of the 2012 U.S. Olympic gymnastics team on Thursday. The White House released the photo Saturday.
Maroney's astounding skills on the vault helped the team win gold, but during individual events, she won a silver in her signature event. During the medal ceremony, she was caught with the now infamous "not impressed face" that went viral.
After meeting with Obama, she tweeted, "Did I just do the not impressed face with the president?"

So true ! My family is all about greed and "What you can do for me." So unless I have lots of $$, I don't expect any hand holding from them...Haha, I will have to surely look out side of my blood for things sincere. I can always hold my own hand, for I have been blessed with two. To your own soul be true.
Family is not about blood. It's about who is willing to hold your hand when you need it the most. #truth
Family is not about blood. It's about who is willing to hold your hand when you need it the most. It is the forever friends who travel with us through life, not because they are obligated to but because they WANT to come along for the ride. They know the good and the bad and love you anyway. They hold your hand, they pick your kids up from school. They know your favorite movie, your favorite ice cream and your very worst fears! ♥

COLUMBIA, MD -- (Marketwired) -- 01/30/14 -- BoxTone, the innovator that makes enterprise mobility run better, has unveiled a free mobile cost of ownership (MCO) tool -- BoxTone MCO Analyzer. The web-based benchmarking analyzer (www.boxtone.com/MCO) is the first comprehensive calculator to give enterprises a 360-degree view of their actual real-world mobile costs and the ability to compare them with industry benchmarks. BoxTone MCO Analyzer enables users to dynamically model their mobile cost of ownership and interactively apply strategies that illustrate cost savings at current and future deployment levels. Enterprise IT staff receive actionable intelligence and a best practices report that can be used as a blue print to operationalize mobility while lowering their mobile expenses.
Few organizations accurately track the total cost of their mobile investments, or even identify all the cost components within their mobile deployments. Industry benchmarks show the average MCO per smartphone or tablet is approximately $1900 annually. But surveys show that 77% of enterprises dramatically underestimate these costs, often by as much as half. Without measuring and optimizing mobile cost of ownership, organizations can face substantial cost overruns and budget shortfalls that can lead to major deployment and business failures.
"Mobility in the enterprise is now shifting quickly from a side project for a small group of employees to pervasive connectivity for most -- if not all -- employees, a path that has led to wild cost overruns for many organizations," said Brian Reed, Chief Product Officer for BoxTone. "In working with large enterprise deployments, and running through benchmarking workshops, we have found that most organizations don't realize what their total mobile cost of ownership consists of, or how to accurately measure it against industry benchmarks. Some have tried BYOD to reduce costs, but have learned the hard way that BYOD simply isn't free. Given the substantial lack of mobile TCO knowledge at a time when mobile is growing so rapidly, BoxTone wanted to provide a free, comprehensive benchmarking tool to help enterprises better measure and manage their deployments."
"Mobile channels drive 10 times more transactions than fixed IT assets," said Bob Egan, CEO of Sepharim Group. "For that reason, mobile deployments often suffer due to the unexpected impact on infrastructure and support costs. BoxTone MCO Analyzer is a compelling way for CIOs and their mobile IT teams to finally determine their true mobile costs, and take corrective actions to lower them."
The BoxTone MCO Analyzer is an interactive and easy-to-use mobile benchmarking tool with a sophisticated analytics and data engine behind it. To determine their mobile cost of ownership, users plug in variables such as their organization's number of employees, the current number of mobile devices and their mobile carrier, IT infrastructure and IT labor costs.
In addition to basics, like monthly mobile data and service costs-per-device, the BoxTone MCO Analyzer factors in expense components that many enterprises often miss. These include annual service desk support labor costs, WiFi / VPN infrastructure costs, user self-support, lost productivity costs and mobile IT operations administration and troubleshooting costs, among others.
The MCO Analyzer lets users compare their results to industry benchmarks developed from six years of data gathered from thousands of BoxTone customers -- managing millions of devices -- combined with data from industry research firms and managed service providers with large mobile practices. Users can then model and demonstrate how various cost-saving service improvements can optimize MCO at current and future deployment levels.
The customized report generated by BoxTone's MCO Analyzer provides actionable recommendations that can be applied immediately to drive operational efficiencies and reduce mobile costs. It also includes a comparison of the user's data to industry benchmarks, identifying where operations appear best-in-class or show opportunity for improvement.
The free BoxTone MCO Analyzer is available today at: www.boxtone.com/MCO
To learn more about mobile cost of ownership, register to attend BoxTone's Live Webinar: Inside Mobile Cost of Ownership (MCO) - And the Unfunded Mandate You Didn't Expect on Wednesday, February 5th at 2pm EST / 11am PST.

Detainees in Afghan facilities still being tortured, U.N. says
KABUL, Afghanistan — Suspected insurgents continue to be tortured at numerous Afghan detention facilities, the United Nations reported on Sunday.
More than half of the 635 detainees questioned by U.N. investigators in the 12 months ending in October were ill-treated or tortured, including being subjected to severe beatings or electric shocks, the United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan said.
The allegations, which the Afghan government calls "exaggerated," are likely to complicate discussions about the handling of detainees, a source of debate between the United States and Afghanistan as the countries prepare for the departure of most foreign troops next year.
Many of the suspected fighters who end up in Afghan custody are captured by U.S. and allied troops. The North Atlantic Treaty Organization-led force said it has suspended the transfer of detainees to the facilities identified in the U.N. report and is working with Afghan authorities to address abuses.
Afghan President Hamid Karzai has frequently maintained that the handling of detainees is a question of national sovereignty. During discussions with President Obama this month, he reiterated his demand that all Afghan prisoners be turned over to Afghan authorities.
In a written response accompanying the U.N. report, the Afghan government said it had taken steps to ensure the lawful treatment of detainees, including issuing policy directives, increasing training and monitoring, and reassigning personnel.
Though it conceded that some abuses were possible, the government said insurgents were coached to say they had been mistreated if captured.
Jan Kubis, who heads the U.N. Assistance Mission in Afghanistan, acknowledged Afghan government efforts, which he said had yielded some positive results. "But the system isn't robust enough to eliminate ill-treatment of detainees," Kubis said in a statement. "Clearly more needs to be done to end and prevent torture."
The U.N. said allegations of torture decreased at some facilities after it issued a report in 2011 alleging widespread abuses in the Afghan detention system. The decrease corresponded with the suspension of NATO transfers to some facilities and increased monitoring, including by the NATO force, the new report said. But when foreign troops resumed transfers to those facilities and reduced monitoring, a resumption of abuses was observed.
Abuses appeared particularly prevalent at 34 facilities operated by the Afghan National Police, the border police and the National Directorate of Security, the country's intelligence agency, the study said.

Note Cornbread, a specialty of the American South is commonly made with stone-ground white cornmeal. Unfortunately it's hard to find here. Your best bet is to use fine-ground cornmeal or maize meal, not polenta, available in health food and organic grocery stores. If you can find fresh rendered lard from a butcher I highly recommend using it. To render your own lard, purchase pork fat from your butcher, coarsely chop it and place into a large saucepan with a little cold water to prevent it sticking. Place over a low heat and stir occasionally until fat has melted. Strain through a fine sieve and refrigerate until set. Scoop fat into a clean container and discard water. Refrigerate until required. Lard will keep, refrigerated, for 3 months.

Let's elect our Head of State
Martin's Christmas messageMARTIN VAN BEYNEN
Relevant offers
Martin van Beynen
OPINION: My dear fellow New Zealanders. As you gather with family and friends to celebrate this Christmas and all it means to you and your loved ones, I would encourage you to consider this very important question.
Do you as an independent and diverse country really need the British monarchy? One is touched when one sees the excitement in the colonies at the exciting news of the engagement of Prince William and his lovely, sensible fiancee Kate Middleton, who is such a nice young woman despite being a commoner.
But the time comes when every nation must stand strong and alone and choose, using the ballot box, its own head of state. This would show the world that New Zealand is indeed a unique and separate country.
One might say, what does it matter if the British Monarch is the Head of State. Her Majesty is but a symbol, one might suggest. But is having her Majesty, the Supreme Governor of the Church of England and Defender of the Faith, as Head of State, sending the right signal to the rest of the world? Many visitors to this country are surprised to find that New Zealand's currency still bears an image of the Queen of Great Britain. It suggests to them that New Zealand is still a colony or, even worse, a part of Australia.
While no-one disputes the exemplary way the present British monarch has conducted herself in carrying out her many duties, one must now accept the wider Windsor family is a rather different kettle of fish and more like a sad group of tawdry celebrities. If there was any mystique or grandeur attached to the monarchy before the current crop and their ill-considered spouses took the stage, it has now very much been dispelled.
One must also question what impression having a super wealthy old woman living in splendid luxury in the English countryside surrounded by dogs with legs too short for their bodies, as Head of State, is conveying to the world about how New Zealand sees itself.
It is time for New Zealand to choose its own Head of State, even if that person turns out to be dysfunctional. Every New Zealand subject, sorry citizen, should be able to aspire to the position which currently is open only to someone from the British royal family. We no longer need to fight for queen and country. Country is quite sufficient.
One must remember Christmas is a time when nations around the world celebrate the birth of Jesus. If one recalls the Bible story correctly, it was the kings and rulers who came to worship Jesus at the crib in a humble manger in Bethlehem. The message this story seeks to convey is that in the stable of life, the mighty are just like you and me, but just give better presents.
Her Majesty represents a class- ridden system which upholds the belief that some people have some sort of divine right to lord it over others. This right has usually been acquired at the point of a sword and by bestowing favours on powerful friends. That New Zealand accepts a relic of this system as its Head of State is a sad reflection on the confidence we have in our nation and in the principle of Jack is as good as his master. Gaining office on the basis of inheriting it is not something we should be encouraging in this day and age.
One hesitates to bestow more onerous duties on ordinary voters, but electing the Head of State would enhance our democracy and make the chosen person accountable to all New Zealanders.
Christmas is a time when we think about the less fortunate. If New Zealand were a republic, those dealing with disadvantage and worry could look forward to the day on which they could elect a Head of State who was familiar with their concerns.
Some might suggest a move to republicanism would endanger New Zealand's place in the Commonwealth and unnecessarily remove valuable tradition and constitutional legitimacy. Neither of these things is true. The country could remain in the Commonwealth and the Treaty of Waitangi would remain as our founding document.
This does not mean we should not reconsider our national anthem and our flag, neither of which portray New Zealand in a positive light. A move to a republic could be combined with a jolly good revamp of the flag and anthem.
In conclusion, my wife and I wish you fellow New Zealanders a safe and happy Christmas. I am confident, and one does not want to assume too much here, that you will give my thoughts on a republic your deepest consideration.

Perry PAC Web Ad Responds To Governor's Indictment
AUSTIN, Texas (AP) – Gov. Rick Perry's new political action committee has released a Web video responding to his indictment on felony charges of abuse of power.
RickPAC's video (watch above) features footage of Travis County District Attorney Rosemary Lehmberg's unruly behavior following her 2013 drunken driving arrest.
Perry was indicted Friday for coercion and official oppression for promising to veto funding for the state public integrity unit run by Lehmberg's office.
The governor threatened the veto if Lehmberg, a Democrat, stayed in office after her drunken driving conviction.
The RickPAC video shows Lehmberg being given a sobriety test and sticking her tongue out at the jail. Perry is also seen defending his veto "wholeheartedly."
Perry is mulling a second presidential run in 2016. In the meantime, RickPAC is dedicated to electing Republicans in national races.

Step 1: The materials
I also have grass and sand flocking material, some PVA glue and the find some self adhesive flooring panels. These I purchased from my local £1 store. i got 4 lengths in a pack for £1 and it gives you roughly 24 foot of track/road depending on how you cut it. You also need some scissors and a bowl to catch the flocking material.
Step 2: First things first
Step 3: Ohh! look a sort of Road!!!
Dont throw that off cut away.
Step 4: Now Flip it
You now have a pre-glued surface to take you materials on.
Step 5: Add the first layer
Place it over your bowl or other container, you have to catch those chippings save money.
And now scatter your chosen material all down the strip. Shake off the loose bits.
Step 6: Add the second layer
Step 7: Thats all folks...
I think the total cost is around £3:00 for the 24 foot of road. Calculating this as you should already have flocking material in and it uses very very little.
The last thing to do to seal it off is brush some PVA glue over it all. Remember this dries clear so you won't see it and it wil hold everything together nicely. This last part took the longest and I think from start to finish it takes roughly 1 hour to do all the strips.
Step 8: And what of that left over piece?
Well cover this in sand and you have a dirt track. Paint the sand blue/green/drown and you have a stream/river.

As the technology to print 3-D firearms advances, a federal law that banned such guns is about to expire.
U.S. Sen. Chuck Schumer says he's seeking an extension of the law before it expires Dec. 9.
He says the technology of so-called 3-D printing has advanced to the point anyone with $1,000 and an Internet connection can access the plastic parts that can be fitted into a gun. That weapon can't be detected by metal detectors or X-ray machines.
Schumer says that means anyone can download a gun cheaply, then take the weapons anywhere, including high-security areas.
The Democrat is pushing the extension along with Sens. Patrick Leahy of Vermont and Bill Nelson of Florida.
The technology has recently advanced to create handguns capable of shooting several shots, rather than just one, before it ceases to function. Schumer also says the guns can now be made with all plastic parts, and no metal.
A blueprint for one such firearm was recently downloaded more than 100,000 times, Schumer says.
"We are looking at a world in which anyone with a little bit of cash can bring an undetectable gun that can fire multiple bullets anywhere — including planes, government buildings, sporting events and schools," Schumer said. "3-D printers are a miraculous technology that have the potential to revolutionize manufacturing, but we need to make sure they are not being used to make deadly, undetectable weapons. "

What is an Edible Forest Garden? It is the art & science of putting plants together in woodland-like patterns that forge mutually beneficial relationships, creating an ecosystem that is more than the sum of its parts. You can grow fruits, nuts, vegetables, herbs, mushrooms, other useful plants, & animals in a way that mimics natural ecosystems. You can create a beautiful, diverse, high-yield garden. If designed with care & deep understanding of ecosystem function, it is largely self-maintaining.
