WASHINGTON -- The Obama administration has a nearly flawless record on the economy. When President Barack Obama or one of his senior minions, such as Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner, launches a rhetorical offensive on protecting us from the perils of capitalism, we have learned to expect an instant stock market nose dive followed by higher unemployment rates and talk of greater government spending and debt and higher taxes. That's bad enough, but now the O-Team is talking about protecting us from terrorism.
Last Sunday, in a surreal "warm-up" for the Super Bowl, Mr. Obama told CBS News' Katie Couric that putting 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed on trial in New York City is a good idea. With a completely straight face, he claimed, "We're not handling any of these cases any different than the Bush administration handled them all through 9/11." It isn't entirely clear what "all through 9/11" means, perhaps because this stunningly disingenuous comment was delivered without the aid of a teleprompter. This is, after all, the man who made "closing Gitmo" his first official act as president. Evidently, the Obama spin cycle has no limits -- and there is no setting for "truth."
Set aside trying to imagine President George W. Bush putting KSM on trial in the Big Apple, just blocks from where 3,000 perished in the Twin Towers. And don't even think about how Mr. Obama could apologize to people in dozens more countries for America in general and his predecessor in particular -- only to now embrace "Bush-era practices." It is alarming how facile it has become for Mr. Obama and the rest of the O-Team to dissemble about the real risks confronting us -- and what we need to do to protect ourselves.
Last week, with the federal government shut down by a snowstorm, "nonessential personnel" were told to stay home. One of the apparently "essential personnel" was John O. Brennan, Mr. Obama's "terrorism czar," whose official designation ("Assistant to the President and Deputy National Security Advisor for Homeland Security and Counterterrorism") is worthy of a Soviet Politburo title. On Tuesday, Brennan took to the op-ed page of USA Today to spin the O-Team's decision to treat Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, the Christmas Day underpants bomber, as a common criminal instead of as an enemy combatant.

Chairman and Advertising Spokesman of Perdue Farms Jim Perdue, left and President of Wicomico Farm Bureau, Lee Richardson look on as Alan Hudson, Poultry Farmer speaks at a news conference.
- Filed Under
The chairman of Perdue Farms warned environmental activists Friday against appealing a federal judge's ruling in a widely watched water-pollution case, saying "enough is enough."
"Without a doubt, a lot of money has been wasted over the last three years," Jim Perdue said a day after U.S. District Judge William Nickerson found environmentalists failed to prove that a farm in Berlin where chickens are raised for Perdue fouled waters that eventually drain into the Chesapeake Bay.
Further litigation would only be "money after bad money" that "won't help anyone," he said in his first public ...

This reminds me of the Dreamcast VMU
There weren't a whole lot of games that used it, but the screen-inside-your-controller idea was still kind of cool. I'm sure the Wii U will make better use of it, but it's still making me feel nostalgic and want to see if my Dreamcast still works.

Anti-spam Bill Passes First Reading
An anti-spam bill passed its preliminary reading in the Knesset yesterday. The bill would prohibit junk mail advertising using e-mail, fax, landline or cellular telephones and cellular SMS text messages.
The fine imposed on violators would be NIS 1,290 per recipient.
The bill, submitted by MK Roman Bronfman (Yahad) was drafted by the Consumer Council based on the U.S. model - a no-call list maintained by the Justice Ministry for which any citizen can register. Bronfman explained that junk mail has become a public nuisance, as well as costly for business, internet providers and others.
The Knesset also approved a preliminary reading of a bill regulating direct mail. The bill makes mailings to registered citizens a violation and allows for class action suits against violators.
Bill sponsor MK Reshef Chayne (Shinui) explained that mass advertisement mailings to hundreds and even thousands of recipients have developed in recent years. In addition, Chayne criticized telemarketing technology that ties up phone lines for several minutes playing recorded messages that are not cut off by hanging up. He said the flood of unsolicited announcements invades the privacy of the individual.

Review: Martha Wainwright is emotional, top-notch
Martha Wainwright, "Come Home to Mama" (Cooperative Music)
2012 is the year of the Wainwrights.
Rufus Wainwright gave us a smooth, poppy record with the Mark Ronson-produced "Out of the Game," and now his little sister delivers a top-notch album with her third CD.
On "Come Home to Mama," Martha Wainwright acknowledges there were two main sources of inspiration for the album: becoming a mother and becoming motherless.
The album gets its title from the song "Proserpina," a track written by her mother, folk singer Kate McGarrigle. It was the last song McGarrigle wrote before she died in 2010. Her daughter's version uses simple piano chords and strings, and its simplicity keeps the focus on the song's touching lyrics and Wainwright's soft vocal range.
Another highlight is "All Your Clothes," a beautiful open letter from Wainwright to her mother with lyrics like: "The baby is doing fine, my marriage is failing, but I keep trying" (Wainwright gave birth to her son in 2009).
Wainwright's voice works nicely on songs that take on an electronic direction, like "Four Black Sheep" and "Some People." The latter is littered with emotional conflicts as she sings "I don't love the way I used to" and "If only I believed in God, then I would ask God to help me find my way." Honesty like that makes "Come Home to Mama" a must-listen.
CHECK OUT THIS TRACK: Wainwright is hilariously tongue-in- cheek on "Can You Believe It?"

A few years ago, the editors of Guitar World compiled what we feel is the ultimate guide to the 100 Greatest Guitar Solos of All Time.
The list, which has been quoted by countless artists, websites and publications around the world, starts with Richie Sambora's work on Bon Jovi's "Wanted Dead or Alive" (100) and builds to a truly epic finish with Jimmy Page's solo on "Stairway to Heaven" (01).
To quote our "Stairway to Heaven" story that ran with the list, "If Jimmy Page is the Steven Spielberg of guitarists, then 'Stairway' is his Close Encounters."
On June 10, we kicked off a summer blockbuster of our own — a no-holds-barred six-string shootout. We pitted Guitar World's top 64 guitar solos against each other in an NCAA-style, 64-team single-elimination tournament. Every day, we asked you to cast your vote in a different guitar-solo matchup as dictated by the 64-team-style bracket. Now Rounds 1, 2 and 3 (also known as the Sweet 16 round) have come and gone, leaving us with eight guitar solos!
So ...
WELCOME TO THE ELITE EIGHT ROUND, where all eight still-standing solos will go head to head before your eyes! As always, you can vote once per matchup, and the voting ends as soon as the next matchup is posted.
In one or two cases, genre might clash against genre. But please get real, people! They're all guitar solos, played on guitars, by guitarists, most of them in some subset of the umbrella genre of rock. When choosing, it might have to come down to, "Which solo is more original and creative for its time? Which is more iconic or important? or Which one kicks a larger, more impressive assemblage of asses?"
Results of the Final Sweetwater Sweet 16 Matchup
Winner: "Mr. Crowley" (50.15 percent)
Loser: "Since I've Been Loving You" (49.85 percent)
Today's Sweetwater Elite Eight Matchup (1 of 4)
"Free Bird" Vs. "Voodoo Child (Slight Return)"
Welcome to the Elite Eight round of Guitar World's Greatest Guitar Solos of All Time readers poll! We're kicking off this latest round with a clash between guitar solos by two American rock institutions, Lynyrd Skynyrd and Jimi Hendrix. Over the next few days, we'll ask you to choose between "Free Bird" (03), which features an epic solo by guitarists Allen Collins and Gary Rossington, and "Voodoo Child (Slight Return)" (11), the Hendrix classic from 1968.
• "Free Bird" defeated Pink Floyd's "Money" (62) in Round 1, Joe Satriani's "Surfing with the Alien" (30) in Round 2 and Ozzy Osbourne's "No More Tears" (51) in the Sweet 16 round.
• "Voodoo Child (Slight Return)" defeated Smashing Pumpkins' "Geek USA" (54) in Round 1, Dire Straits' "Sultans of Swing" (22) in Round 2 and Led Zeppelin's "Whole Lotta Love" (38) in the Sweet 16 round.
Vote now! You'll find the poll at the very bottom of the story.
03. "Free Bird"
Soloist: Allen Collins, Gary Rossington
Album: Lynyrd Skynyrd—pronounced leh-nerd skin-nerd (MCA, 1973)
" 'Free Bird' was actually one of the first songs we ever wrote," says guitarist Gary Rossington. "Allen [Collins] had the chords for the pretty part in the beginning, two full years, but Ronnie [Van Zant] kept saying that because there were too many chords he couldn't find a melody for it. We were just beginning to write and he thought that he had to change with every chord change.
"Then one day we were at rehearsal and Allen started playing those chords, and Ronnie said, 'Those are pretty. Play them again.' Allen played it again, and Ronnie said, 'Okay, I got it.' And he wrote the lyrics in three or four minutes—the whole damned thing! He came up with a lot of stuff that way, and he never wrote anything down. His motto was, 'If you can't remember it, it's not worth remembering.'
"So we started playing it in clubs, but it was just the slow part. Then Ronnie said, 'Why don't you do something at the end of that so I can take a break for a few minutes?' So I came up with those three chords at the end and Allen played over them, then I soloed and then he soloed…it all evolved out of a jam one night. So, we started playing it that way, but Ronnie kept saying, 'It's not long enough. Make it longer.' Because we were playing three or four sets a night, and he was looking to fill it up. Then one of our roadies told us we should check out this piano part that another roadie, Billy Powell, had come up with as an intro for the song. We did—and he went from being a roadie to a member right then."
On the studio version of the song, which appeared on Skynyrd's debut album, Collins played the entire solo himself on his Gibson Explorer, with Rossington playing rhythm on his Les Paul, "Bernice," and adding the slide fills on his SG. "The whole long jam was Allen Collins, himself," Rossington says. "He was bad. He was super bad! He was bad-to-the-bone bad. When we put the solo together, we liked the sound of the two guitars, and I could've gone out and played it with him. But the way he was doin' it, he was just so hot! He just did it once and did it again and it was done."
The resulting track was nine minutes long, and no one's idea of a classic radio song. "Everybody told us that we were crazy to put the song on our first album, because it was too long," recalls Rossington. "Our record company begged us not to include it. And when it first came out, they did all kinds of awful radio edits until it got big enough where it didn't matter any more."
Shortly after the album was recorded, bassist Leon Wilkeson returned to the group after a brief hiatus and Ed King, his replacement, slid over to guitar, creating a three-guitar juggernaut that could reproduce the song's majestic attack onstage. By the time Skynyrd cut the 1976 live album One More from the Road, Steve Gaines had replaced King and "Free Bird" had soared to over 13 minutes in length. This version, with its famous shouted intro, "What song is it that you want to hear?," triggered air guitar frenzy from coast to coast and firmly sealed "Free Bird's" status as a national treasure.
11. "Voodoo Child (Slight Return)"
Soloist: Jimi Hendrix
Album: The Jimi Hendrix Experience—Electric Ladyland (Experience Hendrix/MCA, 1968)
Jimi Hendrix's publicist, Michael Goldstein, had successfully arranged for ABC-TV to produce a short news feature based primarily on the Experience's triumphant success in America. Filming began on May 3, 1968, with 16mm cameras capturing the recording of "Voodoo Child (Slight Return)," which, like many Hendrix songs, borrowed both musical and lyrical themes from Muddy Waters and other Delta bluesmen.
" 'Voodoo Child' was something Jimi brought in, and we learned that song right on the spot in front of the cameras," recalls bassist Noel Redding. "We ran through it about three times, and that was it."
It is not known whether ABC ever used any of the footage. And, unfortunately, all the camera originals were stolen from ABC's archives sometime after Jimi's death. The reel also included footage of the group performing at the Fillmore East and the Miami Pop Festival.
Engineer Eddie Kramer recalls: " 'Voodoo Child (Slight Return)' was recorded the day after Jimi tracked 'Voodoo Chile,' the extended jam on Electric Ladyland featuring Traffic's Stevie Winwood on organ and Jefferson Airplane bassist Jack Casady. Basically, Jimi used the same setup—his Strat through a nice, warm Fender Bassman amp. Jimi's sound on both tracks is remarkably consistent, leading some to think they were recorded at the same session."

There are few American rock bands that are as successful as Chicago. So it's only fitting that tribute bands want to celebrate that success -- especially bands that count a member of the original group as their frontman. Kenny Cetera first recorded with the band in 1984 and then joined them on the road, singing alongside his brother Peter. Now Kenny's Chicago Experience recreates those memorable songs, including such hits as "If You Leave Me Now," "Hard to Say I'm Sorry," "Hard Habit to Break" and "You're the Inspiration." Roses For Margaret will open the show.
* Additional fees apply. No coupon or promo codes necessary to enjoy the displayed discount price.

Loved the concert. My daughter had to go to a concert for her college music class and we bought tickets the day of the concert. It was a pleasant surprise. Very talented people. Hope they come around again to this area. I would definately go again.

There's something about the magic of a train set. That's why more than 2,750 people stood in line at the Granville Public Library during the Candlelight Walking Tour Saturday to see more than a dozen toy train displays.
"From ten trains last year we're up to 14 this year," said Julia Walden, head of programming and outreach for the Granville library. "And there are ten scales represented."
The displays range from small town scenes to castles to ski runs to gingerbread houses. ...

I just read the article on Yahoo and want to say THANK YOU!
I just signed the petition. I am 68 year old female in good health. I had sever reactions to FD & C yellow #5 & 6. I probably know every product on the market that has dyes. This is not an allergin, they are toxic chemicals and cause cancer. My story is in the old 1991 Dr. Feingold Pure Facts. After 15 years of all types of skin rashes, nasal stuffiness, hives, welts and many other symtoms. The story is to long for here.
I love to cook, watch all of the cooking shows, read all labels etc. You do not have to change your diet!!!!!!!!!The relish and pickles companies use lots of FD&C yellow.

Moving Towards BGA Only?
The sky is falling. Does this mean that Chicken Little is panicking for no reason or is Chicken Little the Cassandra of our time? It has been widely reported that Intel will not be offering the next generation Broadwell architecture as a LGA based product. Broadwell is a 14 nm product that will integrate southbridge functions into the chip, making it essentially a SOC. It will be offered only as a BGA only product, which means that it will be soldered onto a motherboard with no chance of being able to be swapped out. Broadwell is the successor to the upcoming Haswell, itself a 22 nm product that features many architectural changes to both the CPU and graphics portion as compared to the current 22 nm Ivy Bridge.
Will Broadwell be the death of the desktop industry and enthusiasts? Will LGA become as scarce as chicken teeth? Will we ever see a product with a swappable CPU after 2014?
Broadwell is aimed at TDPs ranging from 10 watts to 57 watts. Current high end Ivy Bridge parts max out at 77 watts and do not feature any southbridge type functionality. So that means that another 5 to 7 watts are added in for the chipset when discussing basic system TDPs. So we are looking at around 87 watts for a top end product when including SATA and USB functionality. 30 watts is a pretty big deal in OEM circles. We see right off the bat that Intel is aiming this architecture at a slightly different market, or at least a changing marketplace.
The unease that we are seeing is essentially this; Intel appears to be trying to take more profits from this setup and pass more costs onto the motherboard industry. This is not necessarily new for Intel, as they did this when transitioning to the LGA socket. LGA sockets are more expensive and more troublesome for the motherboard manufacturers as compared to a more traditional pin based interface. AMD continues to use pin based chips as this lowers the cost that is incurred by the motherboard manufacturers, and it also lowers overall support issues. LGAs are pretty solid, but it is very easy to bend one or more of those contacts so that they in fact do not create a solid connection with the CPU. This is something that is uncommon with pin based CPUS, but the downside of pin based is that it is more expensive to produce the CPU in the first place as compared to a LGA chip which only features the pads on the substrate of the CPU.

BioStar's inexpensive Hi-Fi A85W is one BIOS update away from greatness
Subject: Motherboards | November 26, 2012 - 03:16 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: amd, a85, socket fm2, biostar, Hi-Fi A85W
Biostar's Hi-Fi A85W is a low cost way to start building a new AMD system, currently after MIR it is $85 on NewEgg and comes with 8GB of free G.SKILL RAM. You get a board that supports Hybrid CrossFire and sports a pait of PCIe 2.0 x16 slots (only one is full speed), two PCIe 2.0 x1 slots and a pair of legacy PCI slots. It has eight SATA 6.0 Gb/s, eight USB 2.0 ports and four USB 3.0 ports to give you a lot of flexibility for drives and peripherals as well as DVI, HDMI and VGA outputs and a feature dubbed "PURO Hi-Fi"; a sheild for the better than average onboard audio codec. TechPowerUp were impressed with the wide variety of overclocking options in the UEFI BIOS, until they tried overclocking and found a variety of issues with TurboCore and other overclocking settings. Hopefully Biostar wil release a BIOS update to fix what is otherwise a solid choice of FM2 motherboard.
"Biostar is at it again with a mid-range entry level product, the Biostar Hi-Fi A85W. Ready to rock out with AMD's new Piledriver FM2 APUs, the Biostar Hi-Fi A85W comes with an audio-oriented theme that's usually reserved for high-end products. Did it play sweet music, or is it a bit out of tune?"

Here's one of those non-existant HD 7990's for you
Subject: Graphics Cards | November 23, 2012 - 01:43 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: amd, radeon, southern islands, hd 7990
PowerColor ignored the claims that there would be no dual GPU HD 7990 and created the DEVIL13, with two southern island GPUs on a single PCB. Both GPUs run at the standard HD 7970 speed of 925MHz, with a button to overclock them to 1000MHz and ups the amount of voltage provided to the cores as well, the 6GB of RAM run at the stock 5.5GHz effective. Seeing three 8pin PCIe power connectors is impressive, as is the 3 slot card its self. [H]ard|OCP overclocked the card to a stable 1125MHz GPUs and 6.3GHz memory which put its performance noticeably above that of the SLI'd GTX 680 that they compared this card to. The question remains, if you can get the exact same performance from two overclocked Powercolor HD 7970s for $860 then why spend $1000 on the hard to find DEVIL13?
"PowerColor has beaten AMD to the punch with its own creation of a dual-GPU Radeon HD 7970 CrossFireX solution in a single video card package. We evaluate this awe inspiring video card and of course overclock it to its highest potential. We put it up against the best GTX 680 SLI solution also overclocked, all with the latest drivers."

Too good to be true; bad coding versus GPGPU compute power
Subject: General Tech | November 23, 2012 - 01:03 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: gpgpu, amd, nvidia, Intel, phi, tesla, firepro, HPC
The skeptics were right to question the huge improvements seen when using GPGPUs in a system for heavy parallel computing tasks. The cards do help a lot but the 100x improvements that have been reported by some companies and universities had more to do with poorly optimized CPU code than with the processing power of GPGPUs. This news comes from someone who you might not expect to burst this particular bubble, Sumit Gupta is the GM of NVIDIA's Tesla team and he might be trying to mitigate any possible disappointment from future customers which have optimized CPU coding and won't see the huge improvements seen by academics and other current customers. The Inquirer does point out a balancing benefit, it is obviously much easier to optimize code in CUDA, OpenCL and other GPGPU languages than it is to code for multicored CPUs.
"Both AMD and Nvidia have been using real-world code examples and projects to promote the performance of their respective GPGPU accelerators for years, but now it seems some of the eye popping figures including speed ups of 100x or 200x were not down to just the computing power of GPGPUs. Sumit Gupta, GM of Nvidia's Tesla business told The INQUIRER that such figures were generally down to starting with unoptimised CPU."

AMD Facing Even More Layoffs
Subject: Editorial, General Tech, Graphics Cards, Processors | November 17, 2012 - 04:09 PM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: layoffs, amd
Personally, I am starting to get numb to AMD restructuring news -- and that is never good.
Less than a month ago we reported on the semiconductor design company's decision to cut 15% of their workforce. The company still has life in it and has a respectable presence in all upcoming videogame consoles along with its inclusion within many consumer laptops and desktops but it is clearly not as much life as they need.
Original rumors stated that cuts could be on the order of 10-30% which 15% would be on the lighter side of. With rumors of more cuts coming in January I wonder if this was a last minute decision to break up the layoffs into two less dramatic installments.
One of the beauties of the tech industry is the low cost of starting or turning a company around; it would be irresponsible to completely count out a player while it still has access to millions of capital. AMD is also sitting upon lots of assets which could be liquidated and their employees have ridiculous talent to be employable elsewhere. I have been noticing that most chatter about the topic is not based in concern with AMD and their employee's future but with concern about an x86 competitor to Intel.
This is pretty much the same concern which I have been having about Windows 8: the house of cards may be standing but it is still a house of cards. We rely upon the proprietary standards which Intel and others impose upon the art, the word being used both in literal and "artisan / practical art" contexts which includes utensil applications.
Concern mounts but practically no-one grafts it to similar instabilities in other platforms.
No I am not saying abolish technology patents or anything like that: I am simply saying that this is yet another drop in the torrent of concerns with content upstream to proprietary platforms.
These issues rightfully cause alarm but are not isolated events.

The driving force behind revisting Radeon and GeForce cards
Subject: Graphics Cards | November 15, 2012 - 01:43 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: amd, nvidia, catalyst, forceware
We have seen quite a few driver updates since the release of cards like the HD 7970 GHz Edition and the GTX 680 which inspired [H]ard|OCP to revisit the performance of these cards in several games. Some results were not surprising, the two top cards have historically run neck and neck in performance and price and that remains true now. There was a definite loser however, the performance of the GTX 660 Ti matches that of the HD7870 but the price is similar to the much faster HD7950. Check out the full results here.
"With the recent release of new beta drivers from both AMD and NVIDIA, and the upping of clocks by AMD, significant performance gains have been claimed by both parties for current generation video cards. We will investigate with a 6-way roundup comparison to see if we can crown a champion."

AMD won't be selling its self whole for now
Subject: General Tech | November 14, 2012 - 12:59 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: fud, amd
AMD did not refute The Register's report that they are in talks with J.P. Morgan, only that there are no plans to sell the company right now. The possibility that some intellectual properties might be for sale to the right bidder at the right price was not completely refuted though. AMD is not just tasked with keeping PC users interested in their company they also have shareholders to answer to, who recently have had less to thank the company for than the enthusiast crowd have. Recent announcements for new chips for the server room as well as the integration of an ARM processor into future AMD chips could be good news for AMDs bottom line in the future but for short term gain they may need to look at new licensing agreements or selling off some assets.
"Soon after we clicked Publish on this story, we received a comment from an AMD spokesman. "AMD's board and management believe that the strategy the company is currently pursuing to drive long-term growth by using AMD's highly-differentiated technology assets is the right approach to enhance shareholder value," he wrote. "AMD is not actively pursuing a sale of the company or significant assets at this time.""

This was my first time seeing these guys and I was amazed. The experience was almost spiritual...it was great. As soon as they got on stage and played, it was almost like they were playing my in living room, it felt so personal. Which is nice in this day and age when it's all about the "show"...and to go to see Ben Harper and you see it's about the music.

Hexagon Wall Art with Core Basics Patterned Paper
February 17, 2015 by Adrianne Surian
Filed under Core Blog, Core Projects, Decor, Design Teams, Sizzix
Hey friends, Adrianne here with you today to share a fun collection of wall art that I made for my daughter's room using scrapbook paper and Mod Podge. Some simple die-cut hexagons arranged in a few shades of purple and gray came together here for an easy-to-make set of 3 wall panels.
Hexagon Wall Art Supplies:
- Core Basics Patterned Paper in two color schemes (3-5 patterns of each color)
- Three 10×10 inch wooden canvas panels
- White spray paint
- Sizzix Big Shot and 2-1/4″ Hexagon die (makes 4″ hexies)
- Paper trimmer
- Hard coat Mod Podge
- Paintbrush
- Sawtooth hangers
Step 1. Spray paint your wooden canvas panels white. While they're drying, use your Sizzix Big Shot and hexagon die, and die-cut 24 hexagons in various related colors. I opted for purple and gray (to match my daughter's room – which is why there's SO much purple in these photos) but this would work well with any color scheme, or a totally random assortment of your favorite papers.
Step 2. When your panels are dry, lay out the hexagons to determine placement. I spaced mine about 1/8 inch apart. Trim the hexies that hang over the edges, and save the scraps. You can use them to fill in along the sides, top, or bottom of your panel to fill the entire square surface.
Step 3. Add a generous amount of Mod Podge to the back side of the hexagon, and allow it to sit for a moment. You will notice the paper begin to curl, as the Mod Podge soaks in. Then, place it and press it down securely. Repeat this until your panel is full. If you have ever put up wallpaper – you'll find that using Mod Podge is very similar! When you have each hexagon in place, smooth it out as well as you can, taking take to make sure the edges are secure.
Step 4. When all your hexies are placed, add a final coat of Mod Podge to the top of the panel to seal it. If you notice a few bubbles, don't panic, especially if it has begun to dry. Allowing it to dry overnight will often fix these little wrinkles.
Step 5. Add a sawtooth hanger to the back of each panel, and hang them! These panels add a pop of color to any empty wall without requiring special artistic skills. The paper you choose will set the tone, whether you're using modern patterns, primary colors, soft florals, or retro prints. It's a great way to use up scraps of your favorite papers, or just put your paper passion on display!
Thanks for joining me today on this adventure in home decor!

"Eat Dessert First" Treat Bag
February 12, 2015 by Joy Dickson
Filed under Core Blog, Core Projects, Design Teams, Gifts & Party
Hi friends! It's Joy from Joy's Life here, sharing a quick and easy bag made with the Silhouette Cameo and Core'dinations papers and vellum quotes.
Eat Dessert First Treat Bag Supplies:
- Core'dinations Teal Quatrefoil Cardstock
- Core'dinations Vellum Quotes & Titles
- Silhouette Cameo 2
- Bracket Window Box file #19287
- Zip Dry Paper Glue
- Pom Pom Ribbon
Step 1. This bag is easy to create. Simply cut it out using the bracket window box #19287 from the Silhouette Store. I'm using a piece of Core'dinations Teal Quatrefoil paper #GX-2300-66.
Step 2. I re-sized the bracket area to approximately 3.1 x 3.1 so I could glue a Core'dinations vellum quote inside.
Step 3: Using Zip Dry Paper Glue, I glued the vellum quote inside the bag.
Step 4: Fold the perforated lines, add a few dabs of glue and a ribbon and you're done!
Now it's all ready for sharing a delicious treat or small gift. I chose a blue that's a great shade for winter themes but it's easily changed for any occasion!
Have a wonderful winter! I hope you enjoyed this project! When I'm not here you can find me at JoysLife.com!
Embellished Scrapbook Necklaces
February 3, 2015 by Adrianne Surian
Filed under Core Blog, Core Projects, Design Teams, Sizzix
Hey friends, Adrianne here with you today! Do you love creating scrapbook layouts? If you do, I've got a great idea for you that you may not have considered: make your passion small-scale, and create beautiful jewelry from your ideas! Bezel trays hold 1-2 inch circles and squares that you can punch, emboss, add charms or photos to, and then seal up with Mod Podge Dimensional Magic or resin. It's easier than you think, and I'm going to show you how today!
Scrapbook Necklace Supplies:
- Scrap of Chalk Core card stock with blue core
- Scissors
- Darice lips embossing folder
- Sizzix Big Shot, or your favorite manual embossing machine
- Sand it Gadget
- Mod Podge Metal Blank Charms, or any type of metal bezel
- Charms like self-adhesive pearls, letters, flowers, or whatever you love
- Mod Podge Dimensional Magic
- 18″ chain
- 10 mm jump ring
- Flat-nosed jewelry pliers
The possibilities of how to put these sweet necklaces together are endless, but I'll tell you how I made this contemporary love-themed necklace!
Step 1. First, cut a scrap of Chalk Core paper to fit your metal bezel. Position it in the embossing folder, and emboss! Sand it with your Sand-It Gadget to bring out the colored core.
Step 2. Play around with your layout! I ultimately selected "XO" charms and a few flat-backed pearls. You can place them with glue dots so that they don't shift around, if you are adding a few different embellishments. Don't forget, photos, gems, and other shapes are all great choices to add. If you're adding multiple layers of paper, sealing them together with Mod Podge before continuing may be a good idea.
Step 3. Taking care not to shake the bottle of Dimensional Magic, slowly add a few drops at a time to the top of your pendant tray, until it's domed around the edges. Don't be alarmed when it looks cloudy at first – it dries clear!
As long as you don't over-fill the tray, it won't spill over, even if it's filled higher than the sides of the bezel. You'll get a great domed look with Dimensional Magic. If you get any bubbles, pop them with a toothpick, because they will harden into your piece if you don't.
Step 4. Twist open your jump ring with your pliers, and add it into the ring of your bezel. Add the chain.
Step 5. Allow your pendant to dry. It will at least take 3-4 hours. You may find that after one coat, you want to add a second coat of Dimensional Magic (especially if you do what I did, and touch it before it dries fully, leaving an annoying fingerprint). Rest assured, if you have a rough spot in your finish, a thin extra coat will fix it. You'll be left with a hard, shiny finish that fully protects everything within your pendant.
Play around with other layouts and color combinations for different looks! Are you getting ideas of what to put in your pendant? I'd love to hear if you make one!

"Dream Big" Football Layout
February 1, 2015 by Christine Meyer
Filed under Core Blog, Core Projects, Design Teams, Scrapbooking
Today I am here to share a clean and simple layout featuring my football obsessed little boy. This young man has lived and breathed football since he was about 2. His favorite teams change but his love of the game hasn't waivered.
Football Layout Supplies:
- Core Essentials-Brights
- Core Essentials-Neutrals
- Polka Dots Pops – Pearl
- Dust Buddy & Sand-It Gadget
Step 1: Die cut a large football and miscellaneous sized stars.
Step 2: Emboss some of the stars and sand them using the Sand-It Gadget and Dust Buddy to collect the dust.
Step 3: Score lines every inch on green cardstock to mimic a football field and sand the lines.
Step 4: Layer the football, green cardstock, stars, and picture onto the Polka Dot Pops Base.
Step 5: Use stickers or die cut words to create title.
Football Box Card
January 27, 2015 by Christine Meyer
Filed under Cards & Tags, Core Blog, Core Projects, Decor, Design Teams, Gifts & Party, Hot Topics
One of the things I love about creating box cards is that they also make great party table decor. Since they are 3D they can add a little something special to your Super Bowl spread. Using Core'dinations cardstock allows you to tailor the colors to your favorite team. You can guess from mine which team is our household favorite.
Football Box Card Supplies:
- Core Essentials Brights
- Core Essentials Neutrals
- Polka Dots Pops – Kraft
Step 1: Use a die cutting machine to cut your pieces out. Having trouble with the texture and getting a clean cut? Here's how I ensure a clean cut on my Silhouette machine: Set the actual blade at 4, the speed at 3, and the thickness at 33. Also set it to double cut. I have had zero issues cutting my Core Cardstock this way!
Step 2: Assemble the card base and add Polka Dot Pops to base.
Step 3: Assemble the various Football pieces to decorate it.
Easy Valentine's Day Heart-Covered Wreath
January 17, 2015 by Adrianne Surian
Filed under Core Blog, Core Projects, Decor, Design Teams, Sizzix
Hey friends! Adrianne here today to share a super easy, heart-filled idea for your Valentine's Day decor. You can make dozens of hearts in just minutes using your favorite manual cutting machine, making this heart covered wreath a quick and festive paper craft. Choose traditional colors, or the colors that best match your decor!
Valentine's Day Heart-Covered Wreath Supplies:
- Core'dinations Vintage Collection 6×6 card stock
- Core'dinations Glitter Silk 6×6 card stock
- Sand it Gadget
- Sizzix Big Shot (or your favorite manual die-cutting machine)
- Darice nested heart dies
- Darice scalloped nested heart dies
- Darice heart embossing folders
- 12″ Foam wreath form
- All-purpose craft glue like Aleene's Tacky Glue
- Foam adhesive dots
- Hanger
- Pins
Step 1. Choose your colors. I picked a mix of red and purple shades, and embossed the Vintage Collection papers with heart shapes.
Step 2. Sand the papers with the Sand It Gadget to bring out the heart pattern.
Step 3. Arrange the heart dies on your papers to cut as many hearts as possible in several sizes.
Step 4. Starting with the largest hearts, glue hearts onto your wreath form. This layer serves to cover up the foam wreath form.
Step 5. As you move on to adding smaller hearts to fill out the round shape, use foam dots to add depth and dimension to the wreath.
Step 6. Turn the wreath over, and using a pair of sewing pins or small nails, add a wreath hanger to the top of the wreath. It's lightweight enough it can easily be hung from a nail, or an adhesive hook.
What kinds of decor are you making for Valentine's Day?

Hopefully it will go without saying that jml will play a support role, he's had his many chances until he can prove himself worthy.
Jml should now be made pull over for Petter if ahead of him as Ford really needs a wdc to their name. Jml has blown his chance. again.
People may disagree, but if MW had have done that previously he could have won with Mikko, but everyone would have complained.
GO FORD let's not make it nine in a row

Drinking holes where you won't feel weird showing up solo.
BK TOP PICK: Bangkok's Best Gay Bar
The grand dame of gay Bangkok clubbing just never seems to get old. Packed to the point of making dancing near impossible on weekends, DJ Station has come to define Thailand's gay nightlife for many visitors. Located at the end of Silom Soi 2, the club stands three stories tall, although not much goes on at the very top. Most of the dancing takes place on the ground, with some guys going shirtless on stage. On the second floor, things are noticeably more cruise-y—and boozy. The entry is B200, which gets you two drink tickets (standard drinks are B100 inside). There's a pretty tired cabaret show at 11pm if you're interested. The music sees the usual offerings of house remixes of big pop divas. Expect a mix of Hong Kong/Singaporean weekenders, flight attendants and small packs of gay tourists. As for the Thais, they tend to either be into the pan-Asian circuit scene and dancing shirtless on stage or chasing white guys on the second floor.
Silom Soi 2, Silom Rd. Open daily 10pm-2am. BTS Sala Daeng
A welcome alternative to Soi 2, G.O.D provides an even harder, more intense clubbing experience. The acronym stands for Guys on Display, which could either be you, with your shirt off on the dancefloor, or any of the four muscled hunks that bare all (or almost) nightly. Don't bother showing up before 2am, after DJ Station has closed, otherwise you'll be the only soul there. As for the music, it's thumping happy gay house which should keep you high as a kite to the very end. The crowd is "Anything in a sweat, shirtless, high and drunk," according to diva-manager Loulou Ferrari, which could be insomniac flight attendants, locals "who seem like partying is the only thing they do in life" or just tourists who want a slice of gay Bangkok. G.O.D is definitely the place to go for late night clubbing. It's gay, busy, hot, and loud—the way a good club for boys who like boys should be.
Room 60/18-21, Silom Soi 2/1, Silom Rd., 02-632-8033. Open daily 10pm-6am. BTS Sala Daeng
Located in Or Tor Kor, Bangkok's secondly best-known gayborhood after Silom, Fake Club features signature geometric purple shapes and glittery walls. Dream Girls just won't get enough of those beauty pageant-like steps, specifically designed to accommodate synchronized moves. Watch out Super Junior! If you don't fancy getting pushed and shoved by a constant stream of toilet-going clubbers, take advantage of the private area, sectioned off from the masses on a raised platform near the front door (reservation is a must). Fake Club plays fresh (if unabashedly commercial) crowd-pleasers from divas like Lady Gaga, Madonna, Britney Spears and K-pop outfits like 2PM, 2NE1 and Super Junior. The live music (nightly, 11:30pm onwards) also attracts a straight clientele. The crowd consists of K-pop-inspired twinks, whisky-sharing freshmen and older guys trying to bag them.
Kamphaeng Phet Rd., 089-479-9262. Open daily 9pm-2am
Zone B, RCA, Rama 9 Rd., 085-161-3386. Open daily 7pm-midnight
After the demise of RCA's first gay club SanFran DiscGo, Castro persists and continues the gay mecca references and brings lip-syncing drags and coyote boys to what was, until recently, a 100% straight 'hood. There's a long façade and a glass-fronted display showing skimpily clad boys—all lit in a seductive purple glow in case you'd missed the fact that the place is gay-friendly. Blessed with ample space, the club boasts two zones: Castro (a stage complete with red runway carpet) and Bangkok (a karaoke). There's also a "lounge" strictly reserved for boys—you get the picture. As for the music, expect pop, K-pop and classic dance hits from the 70s-80s. House bands take turns cranking out the top 40 on a nightly basis. And did we mention the coyote boy backing dancers?
Tucked away behind a parking lot at the very end of Ratchada Soi 8, this gay bar has toilets that are nothing short of legendary: three rooms, curtains, dim to pitch-black lighting. Let's just say the action is not necessarily taking place on the dance floor. Similar to Fake Club, the crowd here is predominantly local, and a lot of them are uni students. Arrive here before 9:30pm (except Fri, Sat and holidays) and get a free bottle of whiskey.
G-Star, Ratchadaphisek Soi 8, Ratchadapisek Rd., 02-643-8792. Open daily 7pm-2am
Drinking holes where you won't feel weird showing up solo.
This year's top openings...and a sneak preview of who might make it into our Top Tables 2016.
The biggest EDM-slash-water festival of the year, late-night galleries, and a whole lot of chill winter markets.

total weight lost!
Prepregnancy: 153 gained 49lbs total (202) had baby on 12/6.I have only lost 13lbs! (baby was 7lbs of that) I'm at 189lbs now
Its frustrating!!I see everyone else here losing so fast. I stayed active during pregnancy-worked out 3 days a week up until I had her and I ate heathy. I breastfeed and formula feed. Hopefully it comes off soon. I can't wait tobe cleared to exercise.
Baby Boy born March 2009
Baby Girl born December 2012
I was 164 before getting pregnant. I was up to around 195 when I gave birth, and now I'm hovering around 167-170. The last 5 lbs don't seem to want to come off, but I'm also not getting any exercise at all. Once I can get out of the house more and be more active I think the rest will come off.
I gained 15 pounds total and have lost 29 pounds so I am 14 pounds less then when I started YAY

Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.) repeatedly attempted to prod Petraeus and Crocker to acknowledge that Iran's influence inside Iraq has grown even as Americans continue to fight and die in Iraq.
Crocker tried to downplay the issue, calling Iran's influence a "mixed bag," but Boxer was having none of it. Crocker also noted that "thousands, hundreds of thousands of Iraqi Shias" were killed during the 1980-1988 war between Iran and Iraq.
The California Democrat, though, wqas have none of it. Boxer was particularly outraged by the fact that Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was the first official state visitor to Iraq, openly embraced by Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki, while President Bush, Vice President Dick Cheney and other American officials can only make surprise, unannounced visits under tight security.
"I give up," Boxer exlaimed after failing to get an direct answer from Crocker on the extent of Iranian influence inside Iraq. "They kissed him [Ahmadinejad] on the cheek!"

Re: Continuous error about Connection Failed in response to kevin_alanI was seeing similar symptoms, i.e. in Console it said:
Sep 28 23:46:46 <hostname> /System/Library/CoreServices/NetAuthAgent.app/Contents/MacOS/NetAuthAgent[8937] : smb_mount: mount failed to fileserver/users_w : syserr = No such file or directory
... which makes perfect sense since the share "users_w" no longer exists on that fileserver. I couldn't figure out where this information was cached, but I knew that the Acrobat Synchronizer was responsible for those connection attempts. I knew this because the repeated login prompts went away if I killed the Synchronizer process.
Working from a tip found on another website, I deleted the ~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Acrobat/9.0_x86/Synchronizer folder and that did it for me. I'm running Acrobat Pro 9.3.4.

Re: Continuous error about Connection Failed in response to DigitalGeniusSame here! Network Magic has it's foibles! I went to Network and Sharing in Windows 7, Change advance settings, Turned off File and Printer Sharing. Turned off Public Folder Sharing.
Continuous message boxes stopped! You found this in 5 min? You're good!

Re: Continuous error about Connection Failed in response to kevin_alanNone of these solutions works for me. The problem is that it must be something requiring a server that I've installed some time in the distant past, but the error message gives no clue as to what it might be and there are hundreds of possibilities. Is there anyone with a more general approach? Why don't these stupid error messages have more useful information in them? Is there a diagnostic tool that logs the startup sequence that might list the actual server that's being referenced? The guessing game is just pointless.

Re: Continuous error about Connection Failed in response to Scott TalkingtonI'm having this problem too, on a slightly used MacBook Pro 17" that I just bought from eBay. It was having a number of problems, including this, so I did a clean erase/install of Snow Leopard.
Straight from the clean install, it's still doing this. The steps:
Navigate to Drop Box on my main laptop (MBP 13") –> Double-click disk image in folder (which holds install files for a number of programs I want on the new laptop) –> Get error message about "connection failed"; the server it's trying to connect to is the 13", which I'm on now –> Disk image opens anyway, after a long pause.
I'm sure there's just some setting on the 13" that I need to tweak, but heck if I know what it is.

Re: Continuous error about Connection Failed in response to Ahrum PilendiramANOTHER SATISFIED CUSTOMER!!! After several SEVERAL hours of trying to figure this issue out this thread finally got me the answer I needed. Other threads suggested tossing (or renaming) certain .plist files including both the .loginitems.plist and .loginwindow.plist. It was only in this thread where I found the suggestion to toss the .recentitems.plist. I did and VIOLA! No more annoying, idiotic, unexplainable (well I am sure there is an explanation) dialog box complaining about a server that no longer exists on my network. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!!!!

Re: Continuous error about Connection Failed in response to kevin_alanHaving recently migrated our domain controllers to 2008 R2 , we found this problem affecting all 10.6.x machines especially when authenticating with NAS boxes running embedded Samba.
To fix the problem simply join the OSX machines to your domain (from preferences-->Users-->Network servers) and the problem will go away. No reboot or relogin necessary.
Somehow, OSX / Samba to auth needs a computer account in AD to allow login requests.
Hope this helps

Re: Continuous error about Connection Failed in response to Ahrum PilendiramAfter airport connecting my main mac to my macbook I had the same irritating message as everyone else. As suggested I found the Preferences/com.apple.recentitems.plist and deleted reference to the server - the macbook and it disappeared from the 'recent items' submenu. However it didn't cure the problem. I then looked in Preferences/loginwindow.plist which lists the login items under AutoLaunchedApplicationDictionary. Here I found a new reference to iTunes on the macbook. So the main computer was trying to connect to the macbook to do something with iTunes. Deleted this and the error message has gone. What a ridiculous amount of effort.

Re: Continuous error about Connection Failed in response to matthewmarkmillerWondering if you ever fixed this. My error comes up whenever I try to access the photos area of my Media window. It's quite frustrating. It keeps looking for files on a work server. When I'm connected to the server there's no error. But when I'm at home, it basically shuts me down.
Apple please amend the OS to stop looking for a disconnected server.

Re: Continuous error about Connection Failed in response to Scott TalkingtonTry this: in Finder, go to: Go > Connect to Network Server.
Instead of afp://RemotePCName use smb://RemotePCName.
I am not sure what the difference is, but it seems to work for me.

Re: Continuous error about Connection Failed in response to Jay in DetroitI believe there are more than one problems that cause this phenomenon. I stopped the problem on my MAC by removing Cisco Network Magic Pro. Not only does it cause the mentioned error, but it connects and disconnects the network every 2 minutes, making it impossible to transfer files. Ease of transfer was why I installed it in the first place, as the network connection between the Mac and my PC was troubled. I now use the server connection rout instead with more success.

Re: Continuous error about Connection Failed in response to the_rainbowarriorJust to make sure how you fixed your issue. When you say "from preferences-->Users-->Network servers" are you doing this from the client? If it's the client that is binding to AD, that would be in System Preferences-->Accounts-->login options-->"Join" network account server. If your doing it from the server end, could you provide a better explanation, I haven't attempted from that side, only from the client side.

Re: Continuous error about Connection Failed in response to kevin_alanI had the same issue with "Connection Failed" to my old laptop, I took the advice given here and removed the following preferences:
No issues at startup so far.
