In 2012 Sheffield District CTC will be one hundred years old. We have had a few different names in that time, but the group has been running with one name or another since 1912.
To mark this anniversary, next year the national CTC AGM and annual dinner will be held in Sheffield on Saturday 12 May at the Hilton hotel. The following day we will be running a series of rides. These will vary in distance and focus and will include a family friendly ride, a campaigners' tour of Sheffield's cycle infrastructure and the inaugural "Staffs 'n Back" 100km Audax.
More details to follow.

Heat olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add onion, and cook until it begins to soften, 3 to 4 minutes. Add bell peppers, sugar, thyme, rosemary, salt, and black pepper. Toss until well combined. Cover pan, and reduce heat to low. Cook, stirring occasionally, until peppers are very soft, about 30 minutes.
Slice baguettes in half lengthwise close to the bottom. Scoop out some of the top half so the bread will sit nicely on top of the peppers; set loaves aside, and reserve scooped-out bread for another use. Uncover; raise heat to medium. Cook, stirring often, until most of the liquid evaporates and peppers are nicely glazed, about 3 minutes. Stir in balsamic vinegar. Add a little water if necessary, to avoid scorching. Transfer peperonata to a bowl to cool. When cool, peperonata can be stored, refrigerated, up to 4 days.
Spread the herbed goat cheese on bread, and top with cooled peperonata.

An environmental portrait—one photographed in a setting that tells a story about the subject—has the potential to reveal something unique and interesting about the person in focus.
In this course, photographer, teacher, and author Chris Orwig explores a variety of Adobe Photoshop postproduction techniques that enhance the authenticity and mood of an environmental portrait. Working with a photograph of world-champion surfer Kelly Slater, Chris steps through each technique, from black-and-white conversion and toning to retouching and more, explaining his creative process along the way.
As you may have heard it said, in Photoshop, one of the things you often want to do is clean up before you enhance. So here, let's take a look at how we can clean up some other small details. Yet this time let's explore how we can use the Spot Healing brush and how we can perform some healing on a new layer. So let's go ahead and create new layer. To do that we'll click on the New Layer icon in the Layers panel and let's name this layer details-2. Next, we want to select the Spot Healing brush, press the J key to select that tool or you can just click on it here in the Tools panel.
Next, up top in the options bar on the far right, you want to turn on this option to Sample All Layers. This will allow us to do the healing on this layer here that we just created and it will heal anything from these underlying layers. Next of course we need to zoom in. One great way to zoom in on your image when you want to really get to those details is to use a shortcut which allows you to zoom to 100%. On a Mac press Command+Option+0, on Windows press Ctrl+Alt+0. That will take us to 100%.
Now that we're here, you notice that there are some little things that we may want to retouch out. So using this tool, all that we need to do is just click and drag across these, and if you're using a previous version of Photoshop or you don't have this content-aware feature. No big deal, simply use the same tool with it's default settings and you'll be able to retouch these blemishes in a similar way. Now, keep in mind that I'm interested in trying to create an authentic photograph. In other words, I don't want to retouch too much. I want to leave some blemishes in this frame. I want to keep it kind of authentic and alive, and I'm just looking for small little things that might be helpful to remove.
So I'm being careful as I'm moving my way around the image to just remove what I'm calling small little teeny blemishes that aren't taking away from the character of the picture, but rather just cleaning up anything that might be just a little bit distracting. The great thing about making adjustments like this on a new layer is that we can always erase them if we need to. For example, if you click on the eye icon here, you can see our before and after, and because all of those are on a separate layer it would be really easy to modify what we've done. We could use an eraser brush and erase any of these adjustments.
Here I'm pressing the Spacebar key and then clicking and dragging around the image to go to another area, and again, just removing the bigger blemishes. I don't need to get this completely perfect, but early on you just want to evaluate the photograph and ask yourself is there anything else that I need to get rid of? So just make our way around the picture and I think up close we've gotten everything that we need to get. Next step is to zoom out a little bit. Here press Command+- on a Mac, Ctrl+- on Windows and go ahead and do that a few times.
Now in doing that I noticed some bright spots on the wall back here. I want to get rid of those, so I need to increase my brush size. To do that press the right bracket key a few times and then you can go ahead and paint over any of those background areas that you want to retouch as well. I can't emphasize it enough that you really need to zoom in and zoom out on your image, and look at it in different ways to notice different things that you might want to take care of so the photograph will look better. And again, here I'm just modifying a few small areas of the background.
Well, so far so good. Let's evaluate this small step that we've taken here. Here it is our before and after. That may be kind of difficult to see so I'll zoom in a little bit; again before and after. And although this is a small step, it is incredibly important, because this is setting the stage for some of our other adjustments which will help us to make this image really come to life.

Jones, Osborn to lead SGA
Whitney Saporito Managing Editor Collegio Reporter
Students selected Eric Jones and Austin Osborn to lead the Student Government Association as president and vice president in the 2011-2012 school year. The results were announced by President Steve Scott on Monday, April 18, at noon on the marble staircase in Russ Hall. The two were sworn in at the SGA meeting on Wednesday night. "I'm relieved," Jones said of his victory. "I'm really happy I'm going to be able to serve the campus. I think quite a few people knew me and knew my message."
Both Jones and Osborn have experience in SGA, with Jones serving as treasurer for the last two years and Osborn as a senator for two years. The duo ran on the Gorilla Advancement Party ticket and listed increased student participation as their primary goal. Osborn, who led his first meeting as vice president on Wednesday night, says he has a lot of ideas for PSU's campus."I'm excited to be in the position to implement those things," Osborn said. His ideas include not only working on student involvement but also some work within SGA, such as adding more structure to the directors' roles. Jones says he also intends to make changes within SGA, such as reworking the position of public relations director to make it a more serious, governmental role. He also wants to tweak the position of community affairs director to help SGA become more involved in Pittsburg. Jones says he also hopes to continue work on a proposed campus-wide smoking ban.
In addition to the top two positions, students also voted to fill all of the Senate positions with returning members. Among those returning members are previous president Brandon Mills and vice president Thomas Gregory. The new senators were also sworn in at Wednesday's meeting.
Members of SGA voted to approve senators for director positions at the meeting. The position of public relations director is the only spot still vacant. SGA is currently accepting applications for that position.
The director roles were also filled with returning members. However, only one is returning to the same director position. Emily Smith was selected to serve another year as Big Event director.
Jones says Smith's success with Big Event this semester made her the perfect choice for the role.
Candidates for all of the director positions except legislative affairs, were interviewed and selected before the meeting.
Members nominated returning senator Daniel Rundquist and previous senator Jordan Simoncic for the role of Legislative Affairs Director. Simoncic won in a close 10-9 vote. Steve Erwin, associate vice president of campus life and auxiliary services and SGA adviser, said the incoming Senate has a lot of big issues to work on next year. Those include the proposed smoking ban, a co-curricular transcript, and implementation of the new master plan. Both Jones and Osborn have a positive outlook for SGA in the coming year."I hope to do a really good job and get the students' opinions this year," Osborn said.

Gather up some tools...
#0 Phillips Screwdriver
Small Flat Screwdrivers
Soldering Iron & Solder
Forceps or Needle Nose Pliers
and lets get started!
Step 1: Crack The Case
Carefully remove the backplate and observe the four light diffusers on the edges of the card.
Stash the backplate, diffusers, and screws somewhere safe.
Step 2: What's On The Inside
-Six blue LEDs are mounted on the corners to illuminate the edges of the card and two more are pointed into the Wii logo at the center.
-The diffuser bars only fit into their spots one way, notice the larger area of plastic extending towards the outside.
Remove the circuit board.
-Note the button mounted in the front plastic cover, it lines up with the metal button on the board.
-On the circuit board there are several key spots that I highlighted. Most important is the little black glob just right of center on the bottom. This is most likely a 555 timer IC, it controls the delay that keeps the LEDs lit.
-There are three 10ohm current limiting resistors on the board to protect the LEDs from high currents. The one noted on the top regulates the inner LEDs, the two on the right side of the board regulate the left and right sets of wired LEDs.
-The transistor switches on the LED circuit when the middle pin is connected to ground. This is needed because the current draw of the LEDs is to great for the little blob IC. The right pin runs to the LEDs, the pin on the left, to the positive rail.
Step 3: The Batteries
To remove the batteries, bend the tabs on the outside edges of the battery holders. You may have to pry them up with a small screwdriver first and then grip them with pliers. Be careful not to break them off.
Next, push the battery out and slip in your new ones.
At this point you could solder some wires to the noted contacts and power the card from a 5V wall adapter. You'll have to short out the two resistors to the right of the blob to make the LEDs stay lit.
Step 4: Don't read the fine print!
I thought that acetone might be a good approach as it eats plastic, sadly I was wrong.
Next I tried a Dremel buffer wheel, nix that plan too. The wheel gets too hot and burns the plastic randomly.
The best way to remove the text ended up being a simple razor blade and some patience. Start at one side of the card with the razor blade vertical. Scrape the blade softly across the surface of the card and you should start to see the writing peal off. This'll leave the card a bit dull and scratched looking so you might have to sand it down with some 600 grit sandpaper. You can usually find sandpaper this fine at hobby stores.
If you want to take it a step further you could spray paint your own logo on the back with a stencil and then finish it off with a protective gloss.
Step 5: Cutting Out The Logo
Once you've done that, flip the card over and take a look at the clear plastic piece in the center. This is held on with a couple of melt rivets that can be cut off to pull the clear insert out of the front.
After this, start up your Dremel and cut out the rest of the plastic in the center window.
Step 6: Some MOD Ideas
Change the LED colors -
The LEDs are 3mm standard size and run at about 3.3V. With the current limiting resistor at only 10ohms we can assume that these LEDs are of the "Super Bright " category. Any color led of that takes a 3V 20mA input should be fine here. I "photoshoped" a little preview below.
Attach a lanyard -
Kinda simple, but definitively a necessity. Pierce a hole in one of the corners to attach a small cord to, or make a loop that attaches to some other lanyard.
I went a bit over the top and decided to add a PIC microcontroler to the card and flash some Morse code over the LEDs. I'll show you exactly how to do this in the following step.
Step 7: PIC Morse Code
To send a Morse code string use the subroutines "S" for a dot, "L" for a dash, "CS" for a letter separator, and "WS" for a word space.
The sleep command will keep the PIC in a low power state until the button is pressed on the card. Just before sending the PIC to sleep I read the status of the port into the "sandbox" register so that the chip would know how the button changed.
The following code was written for the PIC10F202.
start init movlw b'00010101' ; Configure options (weak pull-up, wake on change) option movlw 0x00 ; Future button variable movwf state movlw 0x08 ; Set GP0-2 to outputs tris GPIOWii call S ;WII call L call L call CS call S call S call CS call S call S call WS call S ;FOR call S call L call S call CS call L call L call L call CS call S call L call S call WS call L ;THE call CS call S call S call S call S call CS call S call WS call S ;WIN call L call L call CS call S call S call CS call L call S call WS movf GPIO, W ;Check GPIO for Sleep nop sleep goto Wii;-------Subs-----------L ; Dash bcf GPIO, 0 call Delay call Delay call Delay bsf GPIO, 0 call Delay returnS ; Dot bcf GPIO, 0 call Delay bsf GPIO, 0 call Delay returnCS ; Space between letters call Delay call Delay returnWS ; Space between words call Delay call Delay call Delay call Delay return;------Delays-----------Delay ;199993 cycles movlw 0x3E movwf d1 movlw 0x9D movwf d2Delay_0 decfsz d1, f goto $+2 decfsz d2, f goto Delay_0 ;3 cycles goto $+1 nop ;4 cycles (including call) return END ; directive 'end of program'
Step 8: Adding a PIC
You can leave the casing of the card "as is" and still have room for the PIC in the center, right underneath the Wii logo. I did this with my versions and and didn't have a problem.
You'll need to start by cutting a trace on the board that runs from the button to the little blob IC. We're going to tap into the button and avoid adding another. You'll want to make the cut close to the black blob so that we can solder a wire directly to the remaining trace. You'll know that the cut worked when you can't press the button to turn on the LEDs (when you insert the batteries, the LEDs will still turn on for ten seconds).
{picture coming soon}
Once you've cut the trace, scrape off a little bit of the solder mask coating the trace. This is where you'll solder the wire to your PIC.
Now we need to add wires to bring power off the main board and to the PIC. Remember the two pads that I pointed out for ground and +4.5V. You'll need to solder a wire to each of these pads.
The final wire you'll need should be soldered to the bottom right resistor on the board, this is a current limiting resistor for the transistor. Solder to the side of the resistor closest to the black blob. There isn't really a need to cut a trace here since we already disabled the time by cutting the button trace.
Now your ready to place your PIC.
Solder the two power lines to the corresponding pin on the PIC. +4.5V should go to Vdd(Voltage drain) and the ground should go to Vss(Voltage source).
Solder the wire from the LED transistor to the PIC's Port 0.
Solder the wire from the button to Port 3 on the PIC, thats the input only port.
Keep an eye out for some of the other crazy gift cards they make, I don't think they have anything electronic right now. Nevertheless they are pretty creative in the gifting department.
What would I need to solder in to allow this to run from a 12v source?
If you're wondering where I'm going with this, look at --> this.
I've got a blue car with a blue interior - so this would be cool. But I'd never pay $80-100 dollars for this.
Thanks to anyone who can help.
many scars from those knifes it beyond funny.

The Vampire Diaries
The Vampire Diaries Poll: Who Did Elena Hurt the Most at Prom?
Well, Elena (Nina Dobrev) was particularly feisty in The Vampire Diaries Season 4, Episode 19, "Pictures of You." Almost everyone was on the receiving end of her wicked tongue — or teeth.
Stefan (Paul Wesley) tried to reawaken her emotions with an intimate dance, but she repeatedly told him she felt nothing. Damon (Ian Somerhalder) watched them getting close, got jealous, and worried about his connection to Elena. Earlier, she'd told the elder Salvatore, "You're nothing to me, Damon" and said she only told him she loved him because of the sire bond.
Not only did she steal Caroline's (Candice Accola) dress, she added insult to injury by implying she looked better in it anyway. The blond vamp wasn't the only one of her friends to get Emotionless Elena'd.
She told Bonnie (Kat Graham) she was a walking reminder of all the tragedy in her life and said the only thing Matt (Zach Roerig) was good for was getting her a job at the Grill. Even her new pal Rebekah (Claire Holt) wasn't spared. "You're not a good person," she said flatly to the wannabe human.
That was just the emotional damage Elena did. She nearly killed both Bonnie and April Young (Grace Phipps). They both healed, so perhaps the baby vamp's psychic wounds were more painful than her physical ones?
Ugh, I hate this Elena.
I love this Elena!

For an all-round cruising boat, what would you choose? - maybe a Beneteau, a Bavaria or a Van de Stadt design? Perhaps Moody, an Oyster or even a catamaran? Most modern cruising sailors will choose the best comfort they can afford to combine with the best sailing - but not all of us. Here read why one Ocean Cruising Club member, Bob Groves, sailing with his wife Kathy, chose an engineless junk rigged schooner to build and go cruising:
Easy Go - junk-rigged schooner
We are often asked why we choose to sail a junk rigged schooner for offshore sailing when more technologically improved sailing rigs are available today. Up until recently the response would be that we always were intrigued by the rig and simply wanted to sail one.
Having been aboard a Colvin Gazelle at Marina Hemingway outside of Havana, Cuba only increased the desire to build and sail a junk rigged boat. We built a Benford Badger design and have sailed it from Canada and back on the Atlantic circuit with stops in the Azores, Portugal, Morocco, Canaries, Cape Verdes, and Caribbean before returning home to Canada directly from Jamaica.
Easy Go, the name of our boat, is a junk rigged dory schooner, engineless, with auxiliary power in the form of a Chinese yuloh**.
** The Chinese yuloh is a viable alternative auxiliary propulsion devise for small to medium size sailing yachts.
Kathy and I built this boat in Canada close to Lake Erie. Previous to this boat we had sailed a Grampian 26 on the Great Lakes and as far afield as the Caribbean. The Grampian, also named Easy Go was a conventional sloop rigged boat.
The best reason for sailing a junk rig became apparent during the 3200 NM nonstop 37 day passage from Port Antonio, Jamaica to Lunenburg, Nova Scotia, Canada. Port Antonio is located on the north shore of Jamaica. A choice of beating through the Windward Passage and then a downwind run in the Old Bahamas Channel or taking the old sailing route through the Yucatan Channel and riding the Gulf Stream is the decision to make.
We chose the traditional downwind/current riding route along the south shore of Cuba and on north. Leaving on April 29, 2009 gave us a pleasant overnight passage to the first landfall off Cabo Cruz, Cuba where we not only passed by the great anchorage we had stayed at previously under the watchful eye of the lighthouse but were visited by a blue whale that dove under the keel at the very last moment giving us a little anxiety.
Our next landfall was off Isla de Juventud, another one of our favourite places when sailing the south coast of Cuba.
Our final view of Cuba was the lighthouse at Cabo San Antonio, the western most point of Cuba. Fishing was excellent with good catches of tuna.
Turning the corner inside of the major shipping lanes off this cape we headed north east in the general direction of the Dry Tortugas. While the current was in our favour it was very weak and we had an easterly wind during our passage of the Florida Straits all the way from Cabo San Antonio until we were off Key Largo in the Florida Keys.
While we have experienced beating to windward for short periods of time during our last two years we had not come on a time where we would be beating day and night for the better part of a week.
The strength of the junk rig in beating to windward became rapidly apparent and appreciated for its steady pull and comfortable ride as we tacked across to the Dry Tortugas on a starboard tack then switched over to a port tack until we saw the lights of Havana then back to starboard tack to head us towards Miami.
On this portion of the passage we picked up our first Dorado (dolphin fish) and started our time proven salting and drying. Without a motor, electricity is not possible to provide refrigeration.
We have researched and successfully utilized traditional methods of food preservation for some time and no longer desire refrigeration in any form.

About the Ocean Cruising Club:
The Ocean Cruising Club is an international club for cruisers. Founded in 1954 by the late Humphrey Barton, the Club known affectionately as the OCC exists to promote long-distance cruising in all its forms. It has no premises, regarding the oceans of the world as its clubhouse. However, it enjoys visitors' rights with a number of major clubs world-wide.
Membership is about what the applicant has done, rather than who he or she is. The sole qualification for membership is the completion of a continuous ocean passage of at least 1000 nautical miles, measured along the rhumb line, in a vessel under 70 feet, and is open to anyone aboard, either skipper or certified as competent by the skipper.

Moss has two plays published
J. Patrick Moss can now say that he is a published playwright.
Moss, director of forensics and drama at Chase High School and director of forensics at East Rutherford High School, will have two of his plays published by Big Dog Publishing.
"I was so excited when I received my letter from Bad Dog Publishing. I called the first three English teachers I could find. If Chase High School had not given me the drama program, this would not have happened," Moss said.
Moss received a letter from Dawn Remsing, editor at the Florida-based publishing company, informing him the company would like to publish his plays and thanking him for submitting them.
"The contract I signed states that that the company will copyright, publish and put my plays in their catalog. I will get 10 percent of every one that gets sold," Moss said.
Moss began writing plays in 2010.
"I began writing my own plays because I was fed up with the scripts that I was getting for drama at Chase. I have to choose the script we use based on who is going to be in the class. Every year I would order scripts and out of 15 I ordered maybe three of them would be good for the group," Moss said. "Eventually, I wasn't getting any scripts that I could do anything with. They were either outdated or corny. So I decided to write my own."
Moss says he wrote three plays and submitted them out to publishing companies. Two of those were chosen for publication.
The plays that will published are entitled "Beautiful, Crazy," a romantic comedy set in a psychiatric ward and "The Academy School for Gifted, Malevolently, Impressive, Nefariously, Awesome....Girls," a play about superheroes and villians.
Moss plans to continue writing plays as long as he is teaching drama at Chase.

2) Clinics given by people who can speak in public, but different audience members are either bored (if they're any good) or completely lost (if they're not) depending on whether the clinic is being pitched at a simplistic or advanced level. These stand the best chance of being any good depending on who you are and what's being pitched, but even then you have to tolerate horrible, horrible Q&A sessions where audience members ask questions that make you want to cry tears of rage at their sheer pointlessness.
3) Clinics given by people who just shut up and play. These are fine in that they don't suffer the problems of the other two kinds of clinic, but generally speaking I'd rather hear most drummers play with a band anyway. It's not like I have trouble hearing drums, and there are very few drummers I can think of that I'd be willing to watch play unaccompanied for hours. And if somebody's just going to play to a backing track I'd rather have the band there anyway.
I can totally understand why Vinnie wouldn't enjoy the environment. He's either going to have to dumb down what he has to say to a stupendous degree (the number of people on the planet who can even figure out what the hell Vinnie is talking about when he gets going on a topic he finds interesting has to be pretty small), talk to 1% of the room about stuff that the other 99% are going to totally miss the point of or play things that he'd rather be playing in a musical situation. Why do it?
Yeah, and probably most of the clinics today are 2), and in a sense it's a kind of publicity tour. But Vinnie doesn't need to do it and doesn't want to do it.
I guess Vinnie will be happy to do "master classes" for serious, advanced students only. Actually he told me he wanted to do it. Or just play music with a band like he did at 2000 Modern Drummer Festival...it's going to be ok.

- 1
- person in the U.S. has this name View Dorothea Badger on Whitepages
Meaning & Origins
Latinate form of a post-classical Greek name, from dōron 'gift' + theos 'god' (the same elements as in Theodora, but in reverse order). The masculine form Dorotheus was borne by several early Christian saints, the feminine by only two minor ones, but only the girl's name has survived. In modern use in the English-speaking world it represents either a 19th-century Latinization of Dorothy or a learned reborrowing.
|1,352nd in the U.S.
English (West Midlands): 1. habitational name from a place in Shropshire named Badger, probably from an unattested Old English personal name Bæcg + Old English ofer 'ridge'. 2. occupational name for a maker of bags (see Bagge 1) or for a peddler who carried his wares about with him in a bag. It is unlikely that the surname has anything to do with the animal (see Brock 2), which was not known by this name until the 16th century.
|4,166th in the U.S.

Dorothy, Dorota, Dorotha, Dorothee, Dorotea, Dorothey, Dorothe, Dorothie, Dorothia, Doroteo

It's really amazing how far technology advanced. Back in the old days when I was still a student, I would literally have to sweat first in finding the right book when I have assignments or tasks to do for school, then I would have to search the book for the topic I was looking for.
Sounds a real hassle right? Well, it had its fair share of fun as well, except for the fact that if you're lazy, you would definitely have a hard time to get a passing grade.
The first time mobile devices came out, I was frantic and excited about it. However, I never would have thought that it could affect our way of living so much. It was just for fun back then, but as of today, no one could probably get over a day without having a great long 'one-on-one' time with their mobile devices. It also had its huge share of development when it comes to the education of students today.
Remember what I've told you a while ago about students back in the old days? I won't label it as good or bad, but today, students don't even need to go out of the house to learn. You would probably see it in some 'memes' about graduates thanking 'Google' for their success. That's basically it. Instead of books, they have 'Google' nowadays. If that is not enough, they have eBooks today too and many more to help them with their various school agendas.
It doesn't stop there! When I was searching learning materials on the Internet for my little brother who was just about to go to preschool, I found a site on Preschool Homeschool Curriculum that mentioned the online tool ABC Mouse. That just amazed me. Now, you could download a homeschool curriculum, and the little ones don't need to go to school to learn anymore! I don't know if it's possible for higher education, nonetheless, it is still something that's awesome.
What just saddens me is that whenever I go out of my house and take a look at the surroundings, or go into a mall, I would see teenagers and even younger ones, engrossed with their mobile devices – tablets, mobile phones and many more private gadgets they have.
With the advances of mobile devices today – various games (offline and online), social networks and many more, I bet that they even have more time playing and chatting with their friends rather than studying. That's just the truth about this world nowadays. Yes, it makes their studies a lot easier because searching is just a couple of clicks away from them, but back then, even though it's a hassle, we were still focused in our studies.
Today, when a student is searching for his school assignments, there are probably some detours like when a friend chats with him or if his 'Clash of Clans' game has finished training troops, and many more. I just believe that these advances may have pushed education back a little in the 'list of important things' for children today, blinding them of what's really essential.

"This card looked beautiful. We chose the bronze color foil. The quality of the paper was nice & thick enough. I felt the color of the prints were a little diluted but that could be because it was on matte paper. Overall, very satisfied! Tinyprints provided excellent customer service."
"This card was absolutely amazing. The quality,texture and over all design was perfect for my families holiday card. A ltitle pricy, especially when ordering a lot, but you get what you pay for. Loved them!"
"This year I chose an OLD photograph taken at our wedding 38 years ago. The card I selected was perfect for the photo, which itself was not that sharp an image. For the first time I got a lot of responses back complimenting the card. It was a big success."
"The holiday cards were phenomenal ! Design services were beyond professional and streamlined the design to perfection. I just adore these cards!!!"
"I loved this design so much as I wanted a foiled stamped card. It allowed me to add my own image and message and change the fonts. I only wished it allowed me to add my image on the back or even a message."

text: Personally, I think it's a pretty good choice for a tattoo. I don't have a problem with gaming tattoos, but I do think that if you're going to get one, get one that looks awesome (while also meaning something, of course). This one is pretty good I think, not that it's my place to judge. Congratulations on your ink, Zeerah! Looks like they did a pretty good job on it. It's an Alliance Druid form too, which is a plus in my book. I love both factions equally, but we're a little Horde heavy in our gallery, don't you think?

Even though I've lived in the area for about a year and a half and have traveled to just about every small town and burg in about a 35-mile radius of Sandusky, Oak Harbor was one of those towns it seems like I somehow missed. About the only things I really knew about Oak Harbor was its residents are big football fans, where the high school is located and I usually get stuck in traffic downtown going to or from the football games at high school.
The Wednesday morning I drove into town I wasn't too surprised to get caught in traffic as usual. This time, though, instead of a football game it was because crossing guard Carol Barr was busy stopping traffic so children could cross the street to get to school on time. While chatting with Carol as she waited for another bunch of young ones she suggested I go down to Kozy Corners restaurant for breakfast and to meet some interesting people.
Well, Carol certainly sent me to the right place because almost immediately upon entering the small restaurant I was spotted by the Latte Ladies Red Hats group, which gathers there for breakfast and a weekly meeting every Wednesday there. The ladies, some in their red head covers and some not, chatted up a storm with me amid much laughter and news exchange about what was going on around town. Eventually I got to snapping a few photos before they all went on their ways for the day.
Once on the road again and wandering the streets of Oak Harbor, I stumbled upon Gail Overmyer, head groundskeeper for the local school system as she wandered back and forth across the middle school football field. As I drove by I wasn't exactly sure what she was up to, but upon closer inspection I found out she was spraying yardage lines for the next day's football scrimmage. After a quick lesson in line spraying I said my goodbyes to Overmyer and her helper, Jenny Galford, before heading back toward the downtown area.
I'm not sure if it's because I'm a guy or if it was because the building just looks interesting, but after wandering around downtown Oak Harbor for a few minutes I found myself in the Oak Harbor Hardware store. I met the store's fourth-generation owner, Todd Hablitzel, who told me all about the area as well as some ideas he's hoping to bring to the town as we wandered among rows of hardware.
As we were standing there chatting, a customer walked in and joined us. Todd introduced him to me as Fred Conley, the mayor of Oak Harbor. He did this in such a relaxed manner it took me a minute or two to realize he wasn't pulling my leg and I was, in fact, standing next to the town's mayor.
As it turns out, not only is Conley the mayor, but he is the maintenance supervisor for The National Bank of Oak Harbor. That day he was paying a visit to the hardware store to pick out the right color of paint to put on the walls of the bank's employee break room. After selecting the right color he proceeded to tell me more about the small town he is in charge of, not to mention some of the town's history.
Eventually we parted ways and I made my way into The Family Hair Center. Barber Jerry Whitman has been cutting residents' hair for more than 30 years. If anybody knows Jerry, then they probably know he is a huge Ohio State University fan, and I found this out quickly myself after mentioning I am originally from Michigan and thus root for the Maize and Blue.
Despite the good-hearted heckling by him and fellow OSU fan David Ison, who was in for a haircut, Jerry was an extremely nice guy who was more than eager to tell me about his town and help me out however he could. He told me about how close knit the town was and how everyone seemed to know everyone else and what they were up to, giving me examples of how he would remind a busy mother that her son's haircut time would conflict with his baseball practice when she called to make an appointment.
After a quick stop for lunch I wandered into the local grocery store, where I was introduced to Shari Wilson as she expertly made frosting roses to put on sheet cakes for sale. Shari has spent almost 30 years baking and decorating cakes for Oak Harbor residents. While there I also saw market employee David Salyers, who recognized me from a previous visit I paid to take pictures of him at work for another story. David is arguably the most well-known person in the town. Everyone who saw him greeted him by name, and he returned the favor, always with a big smile.
Once I departed from the market I jumped in my car and decided to roam the neighborhood streets in the hopes of catching some kids at play because school was letting out. As I drove I noticed a lady sitting near the road with a table and what looked like a lemonade stand. Thinking she was too far off the main road, not to mention a bit old to be manning a lemonade stand, I turned around and wandered over to see what she was up to.
It seems I wandered up on Marleen Madison and "Madison's Water Stop" as girls on the Oak Harbor High School girls cross country team fondly call it. Marleen puts out cups of water for the girls every Wednesday as they run their long-distance training runs. She sets up at the girls' halfway mark, which happens to be right near her house. It didn't take long for the girls to show up, grab a quick cup of water and take off again. It didn't seem like much at first, but once I saw the smiles and heard the thanks of appreciation from the runners, I understood why she did it.
After stopping out behind the school to watch the Oak Harbor High School football team practice with their new head coach, Mike May, I made my way over to the cheering and hollering of fans as they watched the girls soccer team in a match against Perkins High School. Fans of all ages, from classmates to grandparents, cheered the girls as they scored goal after goal against their opponents. I decided if Oak Harbor isn't known for its football, then its should be known for its soccer for sure.
With only a minute or two left in the soccer game, I decided to head out and beat the traffic. I found myself back in downtown, where I wandered upon three boys playing and exploring down near the Portage River. The boys, two twins and a friend, reminded me of myself and my friends when we were younger as they climbed on everything, tried to find jumps to go over on their bicycle and looked for snakes and anything else that could be found in and under the rocks along the bank of the river. They told me about how earlier in the summer people would line up along the bank of the river to fish or just watch the sun set.
By the time it was getting dark I found myself in front of the Happy Hour Inn, where the Ladies Rack & Cue Pool League was finishing a meeting before playing a few practice games on the bar's pool table. The ladies even tried to get me to play a few games with them, which I politely declined because I didn't have any desire to embarrass myself in front of everyone in the place.
After watching them play a game or two and deciding my choice not to play against them had been a wise one, I strolled a few doors down to one of the local pizza joints to grab some dinner. There it was largely quiet -- only one table of four men quietly talking and enjoying their food -- a far cry from the bar I'd just come from.
As I left Oak Harbor with hot pizza cheese burning the roof of my mouth I decided Oak Harbor is the kind of place to which I would take someone who had never seen what a small town can be like.
I like to think they would be pleasantly surprised how friendly the people can be, how knowledgeable they are about the area they live in, not to mention about the hidden treasures small towns have as well as the sense of camaraderie and pride shared by everyone who lives there.
I am glad I got the chance to spend my One Wednesday exploring Oak Harbor and finding out just how much more the town has to offer besides its football, high school and traffic.

There is nothing hotter than a girl eating ice cream. It alludes to sex, it evokes sensuality and it makes my dick hard watching them do it. I was at the mall and saw Jenna Rose getting her cream on. I rolled up and started to tell her what I thought of her ice cream antics. It was pretty much a wrap after that. I told her I would take her home but we made quick stop at the house where I took her home in another way. This girl is sexy in ways I cannot describe her walk and the way she talks...not to mention the way she sucked my dick. It was some crazy shit, slurping, sloppy mess. I rewarded her with a deep dick-down and a load that could pretty much double as a disguise or Halloween costume.

What is high blood pressure?
High blood pressure, also called hypertension, is a common condition in which the blood puts excessive force against the walls of the arteries, which induces changes in the vessels that can lead to serious complications, such as heart disease, stroke, and kidney failure. Hypertension is the most common reason for both doctors' visits and prescriptions among non-pregnant adults. High blood pressure can be a result of a variety of conditions and diseases or a medical condition in itself. About one in three adults in the United States has high blood pressure, according to the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute (Source: NHLBI).
Blood pressure is the force exerted on the walls of the arteries as blood is pumped through your body. Your blood pressure is measured as two numbers followed by the units of pressure, such as 120/80 mm Hg (millimeters of mercury). The top number is called the systolic pressure, which is the highest pressure in your arteries as the heart is pumping blood. The bottom number is called the diastolic pressure and reflects the lowest pressure in your arteries when the heart is at rest between beats.
Blood pressure measurements vary and show a moderate rise and fall in response to many situations. For example, blood pressure will rise during strenuous activity to ensure that all the cells of the body get sufficient amounts of oxygen-rich blood. Blood pressure may also rise in response to stressful situations. Blood pressure is normally lower during periods of relaxation or sleep.
As a general guideline, adults should keep their blood pressure lower than 140/90 mm Hg. In addition, current guidelines consider consistent readings higher than 120/80 mm Hg as a condition called prehypertension, which should be monitored regularly and treated as needed to ensure that your blood pressure does not become higher over time.
Extremely high blood pressure that occurs suddenly or the long-term effects of mild to moderately high blood pressure over time can lead to life-threatening complications, such as stroke, kidney failure, and heart attack. Seek regular medical care to check for and promptly treat high blood pressure to reduce the risk of complications.
Seek immediate medical care (call 911) if you, or someone you are with, have symptoms such as chest pain, passing out, difficulty breathing, confusion, slurred speech, or problems with moving any part of the body.
What other symptoms might occur with high blood pressure?
High blood pressure is often called "the silent killer" because it generally does not produce symptoms until serious complications develop. In some cases, people with high blood pressure may experience nosebleeds or headaches.
Despite a general lack of symptoms, uncontrolled high blood pressure puts excessive str... Read more about high blood pressuresymptoms
What causes high blood pressure?
In most cases, high blood pressure has no known cause. This is called essential hypertension. High blood pressure can also be caused by a specific condition, disease or medication. This is called secondary hypertension.
Causes of high blood pressureDiseases, disorders and conditions that cause high blood pressure include:
- Alcoholism

Yahoo (YHOO) CEO, Marissa Mayer, is poised on the edge of a glass cliff. And there's $100 million in it for her, if she can keep from falling off the edge.
In a July 19 interview with Babson College, Assistant Professor, Wendy Murphy, I learned that a glass cliff is the place women leaders are perched when they reach the top of a company that has been in trouble. Having broken through the glass ceiling, these women find themselves in a precarious position — making them more likely to take the blame if company results don't improve fast.
Murphy pointed me to a 2004 survey of FTSE 100 companies, before and after the appointment of a male or female board member, conducted by Michelle Ryan and Alexander Haslam of the University of Exeter.
Ryan and Haslam found that when the economy was weak, "companies that appointed a woman actually experienced a marked increase in share price after the appointment."
But what struck them as more interesting was that during a financial downturn, women were more likely than men to be appointed to boards of companies that had "experienced consistently poorer performance in the five months preceding the appointment."
They also guessed that "having broken through a glass ceiling women are actually more likely than men to find themselves on a glass cliff — meaning their positions of leadership are risky or precarious."
They argue that the glass cliff makes it more likely that negative outcomes will be blamed on "the abilities of the leaders involved rather than other factors that may affect the company."
Moreover, they found that women who take on leadership roles will be more criticized and more likely than men to be held responsible for negative outcomes that flow from decisions by their predecessors.
The glass cliff idea comes to Murphy's mind in considering Mayer's recent appointment as Yahoo's CEO. Murphy sees Mayer as a very focused product manager being a good fit for Yahoo's key strategic problem — a lack of focus and the absence of exciting, innovative products.
Moreover, Murphy believes that despite her lack of C-Suite experience, Wal-Mart (WMT) vetted Mayer for that level when it hired her as a board member. In so doing, the board had to evaluate her ability to complement the skills of its other board members and to offer it uniquely valuable know-how or perspective.

STARKVILLE, Miss. -- Chris Relf threw three touchdowns and ran for another as Mississippi State overcame a slow start in Dan Mullen's coaching debut to beat Jackson State 45-7 on Saturday.
The Bulldogs shrugged off a half-hour lightning delay, 12 penalties and two turnovers to win in the first matchup between the teams from the Southwestern Athletic Conference and the Southeastern Conference.
Relf found Chad Bumphis on two of his scoring passes and also rushed for 82 yards. Tyson Lee got the start, but Relf took over in key situations. He was efficient in the pocket as well, completing 7-of-10 passes for 75 yards.
The Bulldogs got plenty of help from the Tigers, who had 15 penalties for 95 yards and five turnovers. Jackson State rarely left its side of the field and Mississippi State scored 24 points after four turnovers deep in Tigers territory.
Mississippi State's defense gave up just 194 yards and nine first downs, and pressured former teammate Tray Rutland all game. The senior, who transferred after his redshirt freshman season, completed 8-of-19 passes for 132 yards with two interceptions. The majority of his team's offense came on two deep passes totaling 81 yards and its single scoring drive.
Terrence Davis scored Jackson State's only points on a 16-yard run against Mississippi State's second-team defense early in the fourth quarter.
Bumphis opened scoring with a 15-yard catch-and-run touchdown from Relf following Jackson State punter Brad Bennett's fumbled snap. Then Relf scored from 5 yards out with 48 seconds left in the first half to go up 14-0.
Charles Mitchell set up Robert Elliott's 7-yard scoring run early in the third with an interception, then helped the Bulldogs to a 28-0 lead when he caused a fumble that was converted three plays later on Relf's 19-yard pass to Marcus Green.
Relf also hit Bumphis on a 7-yard score late in the third quarter. Corey Broomfield locked it up with a 43-yard interception return.
While Mullen's spread offense was hit and miss, it did pay immediate dividends. The Bulldogs never scored more than 38 points under previous coach Sylvester Croom, who resigned after last season. It was the most points for Mississippi State since a 51-13 win over Jacksonville State on Sept. 14, 2002.
Mullen promised at least two quarterbacks would play and stayed true to his word (a third came in for mop-up duty). Relf, though, played much of the second half as the Bulldogs started to pull away and took the majority of snaps. Lee was 8 of 13 for 82 yards and led the team on one touchdown drive.
Two fumbles by starting tailback Christian Ducre, in for suspended Anthony Dixon, set the offense back, as did a pair of missed short field goals by new kicker Sean Brauchle.
