Each day is a blank page and I hold the pen! I am the author of my own story!!
I am thankful for each day that I am given. For each opportunity to begin anew and let today be the day to focus on. Life is too short, but it should be long enough. Long enough to do the things that are important in a life.
I am of the mindset that life isn't about sitting back on the sidelines and watching a sort of "life-parade" go by and cheer those out there "doing it"! NO NO NO!!! ...
Each day is a blank page and I hold the pen! I am the author of my own story!!
I am thankful for each day that I am given. For each opportunity to begin anew and let today be the day to focus on. Life is too short, but it should be long enough. Long enough to do the things that are important in a life.
I am of the mindset that life isn't about sitting back on the sidelines and watching a sort of "life-parade" go by and cheer those out there "doing it"! NO NO NO!!! It's about being the parade, the band, the enthuisiam, the tickertape, the cheers, the whole thing. It's about not only the events, but the atmosphere around those events. Of not just seeing life, but tasting, smelling, diving into it. Rubbing it all over like a salt rub and then then letting out a primevil type utterance.. YEAHHHHHH!!! That's what I'm talking about..extreme.. extreme... grabbing what you can with both hands and not letting go even if you end up being dragged a bit, just hang on and never ever quit!!
This is a new start, a new and updated spark page but the story I bring here is the same. Over the years you name it, I tried it to get to a normal weight for my height. I tipped the scales at over 250 pounds twice and am near to the lowest I've weighed as an adult. I am on medication for hypothyroidism and in Nov 2008 I was taken off my high blood pressure medication due to the amount of exercise I have taken on.
I started running in 2004 for the local Cancer UK Race For Life. That enabled me to challenge myself to do more and I decided to celebrate my first year of running with a half marathon. With that goal reached in June of 2005 I set my goal a bit higher and wanted to run a marathon to celebrate 2 years of running. In Edinburgh on another hot June day I completed Marathon #1! I was hooked. I am pleased to have now run the Dublin Marathon (Oct 2006) London Marathon (April 2007) London again (April 2008) and New York City (November 2008) That is 5 marathons in 3 short years!! After taking a bit of a break after NYC, and watching my husband do outstanding in the Boston 2009 Marathon new goals were set. Marathon number 6 was completed in Berlin, Germany on 20 September 2009. What lies ahead? Only I set the limitations.
The date is set, Marathon number 7 will be the first Virgin London (UK) Marathon in April 2010! Excited? yes! Determined? Yes! Goals set and planned written? YEP! So it's time for burning the road, gearing up and seeing what I am made of!! Bring London 2010 on!!! UPDATE: London is a memory and although I had some leg and toe issues in the later miles I proudly have my 7th marathon medal!
Forward to Marathon number 8! Hubby and I have already booked the flight, the hotel and registered for the Philadelphia Marathon on 21 November 2010!! Talk about major excitment...not only will we be able to have some of my family there, but we will be staying on for Thanksgiving and my 59th birthday!! Now THAT is a celebration!! WOHOO! Training will start again in July after I enjoy a bit of off road running on some trail events. The Philly Marathon (number 8) is now history!! The training paid off and I did a new personal best time of 5:37:30. It was a perfect day weather wise and loved seeing my son before the race, and my lil brother and family at the finish line to cheer me in! Now a bit of rest and recouping before planning number 9!
It only took about 2 weeks after our marathon in Philadelphia that hubs and I decided to return to Edinburgh for our next marathon! My number 9 will be on May22 in the capital city of Scotland...the place I first became a Marathoner!!! I am so looking forward to it! Marathon 9 has been completed and another PB! I'm thrilled that even with the hardship of rain and a severe headwind for the last 9 miles I was able to shave off another minute! 5:36:37 is my new marathon PB and was so close to breaking through the 5.5 hour mark until the last couple of miles.
With needing a goal to aim for Marathon 10 has been registered for: Liverpool on 9 October 2011! I set a personal goal of doing 10 marathons before my 60th birthday in November...this fits the timing and I'm going to alter my training plan with hopes of doing a sub 5:30 time!Marathon number 10 was completed six weeks before my 60th birthday. It wasn't the sub 5:30 I had hoped for, or even a new PB but it was a goal achieved. My time was 5:49:59. The delay of about 45 minutes didn't go right with my legs and the inclines of the second half took their toll. Hubs was watching from the sidelines due to injury, so it was me out there keeping my endurace going. Somewhere in the last third I lost my focus and let the time slip on me. Lessons learned for my next marathon! After all.. there is ALWAYS another race!
Another race there is indeed!!! After taking some time off in October after the marathon, I raced my first race as a 60 year old! The day after my 6-0 I ran a ladies only 5.25 mile that I hadn't run in 5 years! So cool to be back there and see some friends I met there the first time 7 years ago!!
Marathon plans came to reality in mid Jan 2012 when I saw I needed to put some goals in place. With hubs injured it has meant picking races closer to home. This spring I will be doing the Manchester UK Full Marathon (29 April) The first time in 10 years! I'm now training with a focus and determination to be race fit! Aiming for a new PB too!
Time to update to say that I didn't run a spring 2012 marathon due to me getting injured! Bummer for sure as I not only didn't get the marathon done but the half as well. Due to lower back issues I had to stop running and slowly let it mend. It was several weeks of very gentle short walks and then longer ones until I could begin running. I did my annual Race For Life and then signed up for the Preston Guild series of races that only occur every 20 years. I wanted the serious bling at the end of all four and since I didn't want to wait another 20 years.. I registered for the 5k (did it in June) the 10K in Sept, the FULL MARATHON October 28 (number 11) and the 10 mile in November. Hubs thought he would be recovered enough to race the Liverpool Marathon on 14 October so I signed up for it as well. OH MY! I have really taken on a challenge this year.. not only am I doing the Guild Series but TWO marathons two weeks apart!! Now that is a real challenge!!! Lots of ice, rest, hydration and good nutrition to get me from Liverpool to Preston!! (Liverpool will be a solo marathon for me as hubs isn't ready yet to do a marathon) October 2012 ..two marathons...two weeks! Yes numbers 11 and 12 have been completed. Liverpool was just a couple of days after the burial of my FIL and hubs let me have the weekend to myself to run and do my best. It was strange getting myself ready alone, walking to the bus pick up alone and then crossing the finish line with just me to congratulate my hard work. It was hard but I knew the course and the pain I would feel on the long drags out of the Mersey Tunnel and the 16 mile mark hill before entering the parks. My time was out of my goal but the experience was marvelous.
I couldn't say the same for Preston, number 12. I was ready for the race, knowing I was pushing myself beyond what I had ever pushed before. But I HAD to complete the Guild Marathon in order to collect my Preston Guild medal at the end of November having finished all four of the pre determined race series. The weather for the marathon was as bad as could be!! Rain started as soon as I crossed the start line and got worse with wind the entire 6 hours I was out there. I did finish slightly better than Liverpool and considering the dreadful condtions and the body fatigue with hyperthermia I suffered I am very proud of marathon 12! Hubs was there at the finish with a large towel and warm words of encouragement. I shivered the 15 minute car ride home. A hot shower never felt so good! (I did complete the Preston 10 mile race in mid Nov 2012 and not only collected another race shirt, but a Preston Guild Series shirt and the coveted Preston Guild Race Series medal..."once every 20 years!"
I'm looking ahead now to 2013 to see what further challenges I can set for myself! There is ALWAYS another one around the corner!!!
The challenges for 2013 have been set. No marathon this year as I think I cooked myself in October 2012.....so the game plan is train smart for a half marathon on August 25 in Fleetwood, Lancashire. The Sunday prior I will be racing a 10K in Birchwood, a race I have done 4 times before. I know the course and will push myself to better my last time. To round out the race plan I have also signed up for a trail race up in Cumbria that I have not run in several years. I love trail races for their challenges and beauty!
I have found a focus and purpose to keep my training in check as my youngest son is getting married in Sept and keeping to my plan will allow me to pick a smoking hot dress to make a memorial occasion even more so!
The trip to Montana was awesome!! The wedding of course made me cry!! It was a long trip and well worth the time. Wonderful to see my family, my children and my grandchildren.
2013 is over and so much has changed in my life. The passing of Annie, my MIL left a huge void, the closing of our business has altered how we are doing things. I am refocused on what will make 2014 even better!! I am getting back into a running plan and looking ahead to a half marathon this spring. Not sure beyond that as so much uncertainty about the future. It's all good..and I am flowing along with it!
2014...no spring half but who knows, might see what is on the race calendar for fall. I have been getting to the gym just about every day and doing intervals on either the treadmill, elliptical, stationary bike, or boxing. I pair that up with strength training. Keeping a focus will enable me to feel healthier and stronger.
Oh yeah.. I am soooooooooo DONE with some things that's it's about time to put them to screen:
DONE with being an unhealty weight for my height!
DONE with a jiggly lower ab and upper arms!
DONE with yo-yoing and not staying down there!
DONE with wearing jackets or long shirts to cover up the tummy when running!
DONE with not wearing shorts when running because don't want to show my upper legs!
DONE with not being able to use my new iPod arm holder because my upper arm is too big!!
DONE with worrying about "should I do a particular race because I will most likely finish last"!
DONE with thinking, when I....
DONE with putting off things until I....
DONE with putting myself down for not achieving.....
DONE with negative thinking!
DONE with comparing myself to others and feeling inadequate!!
DONE with wondering, what if I had.....?
DONE with making excuses!
DONE with hiding my body when I work out at the gym!
DONE with letting others decide if I am OK!
Iam DONE DONE DONE DONE......... D O N E!!!
Words gathered from a multitude of places that encourage and enrich me:
Life is a leap of faith. Spread your arms, hold your breath, and always trust your cape.
"Pain is temporary. It may last a minute, an hour or a day, but after sometime it will subside and something else will take its place. If I quit, however, then it lasts forever." Lance Armstrong
I'm a warrior, I'm a runner, I'm an athlete!!
Live life to the EXTREME!
I'd rather be RUNNING! Friends at your side, The wind in your face, The freedom of running, The JOY of the race.
Do you want it so bad that you not only just smell it, you can taste it? That's REAL hunger! Be hungry!
You have a choice. You can throw in the towel, or you can use it to wipe the sweat off your face.
There will be more to add as these every days unfold.

BirdLife South Africa, the Endangered Wildlife Trust's Birds of Prey Programme (EWT-BoPP), and the University of the Witwatersrand have launched a collaborative satellite tracking project on one of South Africa's most charismatic raptors, Secretarybird.
BirdLife South Africa held a number of events to promote the important link between healthy wetlands and the good health of people, birds and the economy
The newsletter includes updates on environmental education, Marine IBAs and community development.
BirdLife South Africa's Save Our Seabirds Festival tackled the issues of overfishing, pollution and habitat loss.
South Africa
This report is part of a project which aims to capture, document and disseminate these experiences and the lessons learned from them. The review is part of a project funded by the Aage V. Jensen Foundation.
BirdLife South Africa (BLSA; BirdLife Partner) has a membership of around 6,700, of whom more than 5,000 are also members of Bird Clubs. The network of more than 40 Bird Club/branches and affiliates provides a great resource, which allows BLSA to achieve much more than it could through its dedicated staff alone.
South Africa is flooding, and the extent of destruction in some areas is unprecedented. Lives have been lost, families uprooted and livelihoods destroyed. The money required to repair the devastation runs into millions of Rand. It would be fair to question why BirdLife South Africa is promoting the celebration of World Wetlands Day with the link between wetlands and water during these trying times.
BirdLife South Africa supports the formal request by the Centre for Environmental Rights to the Minister of Mineral Resources for a prohibition on prospecting and mining in certain key areas of critical biodiversity and hydrological value and sensitivity.
Of the 10,000 bird species on Earth, 1,226 are listed as Critically Endangered, Endangered or Vulnerable. Forty of these occur in South Africa and of these 20 are endemic. Although extinction is a natural phenomenon, species are now disappearing from our planet at an alarming rate, and studies have shown that this is mostly driven by human activities.
For over 30 years Bruce Pearson, a professional artist, has worked on a range of themes to convey his enthusiasm for wildlife and especially birds, giving a sense of wonder to the wild places they inhabit. More recently he has focused some of his time on developing creative links between art and conservation as a contribution towards a wider effort by an informal grouping of artists, writers, musicians, poets and others inspired by the natural world.
South Africa
BirdLife South Africa (BirdLife Partner) is at the forefront of seabird conservation action, locally and internationally. The SOS Festival is a National Marine Month initiative from BirdLife South Africa's Seabird Division. It will run from 11–17 October 2010, and aims to focus public awareness on seabird conservation problems and the work currently being done by BirdLife South Africa and other organisations to address these issues.
A species of penguin from Africa is now protected by the U.S. Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (Act), following the publication of a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service final listing determination in today's Federal Register.
Three of South Africa's flagship bird species have moved closer to extinction, according to BirdLife on behalf of the 2010 IUCN Red List. The African Penguin's status has changed from Vulnerable in the 2009 category to Endangered, the Ludwig's Bustard from Least Concern to Endangered and the Southern Ground Hornbill from Least Concern to Vulnerable.
BirdLife South Africa (BirdLife Partner) joined forces with other organizations to react with dismay to the receipt of information suggesting that there is interest in the hunting of Houbara Bustard by means of falcons in South Africa. According to information received, there is intention by falconers to establish a Houbara Bustard breeding facility in the Northern Cape Province of South Africa and to release and hunt these bustards with large exotic falcons.
BirdLife interview with Michael Kumako (Bird Guide) and Brenden Pienaar - Project Manager of the Kruger to Canyons Birding Route.

Wheat and Tares
The essential qualities of a true church are members who are faithful in their attendance and faithful in their commitment to leadership and the local assembly. As in Jesus' Parable of the Wheat and Tares, Matthew 13:24-30, God will allow the wheat and tares to grow up together until the reaping. The scripture states"Let both grow together until the harvest, and at the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, "First gather together the tares and bind them in bundles to burn them, but gather the wheat into my barn."As the Word of God clearly declares,"let the wheat and the tares both grow up together and the Lord will send an angel to separate them". The wheat represents the true church, and the tares the false church.
When we begin to speak on the nature of the True Church, we have to ask ourselves, what's it made of and how does it work? The True Church is a field of members like a wheat field, with all the tares taken out. These members move in the area that they were created to move in by God (Revelation 2:4), and bring the tithe and the offering into the storehouse ( Malachi 3:8, Hebrews 7), and are faithful in attendance (Hebrews 10:24-25).
The enemy tries to plant tares in the field through deception, by attacking the the saint. He tries to scatter the saints, through lack of attendance. Negative, bad or poor attendance is the beginning of backsliding and unless you hear, listen and obey the Holy Spirit, you will reach that destination (Matthew 12:30).
Any church that does not bear the qualities of the "True Church", should be marked a false church. The True Church may have some that slip and some that stumble, but their hearts are in a place with the Lord that he can keep them from falling. (Luke 21:34-36). We at River of Life believe that the time has come when The Lord is sending his angelsl to separate the wheat and the tares, not only in our church, but in others' as well.
God's Word about 2013
2013 will be a year of exposure and gross darkness covering the earth, but great grace and light for the true Church. We know that light expels darkness and exposes hidden and secret things. It is an imperative for God's people to be filled and stay filled with His Spirit. The false church will be exposed, lies and liars will be exposed, and the hidden treasure that darkness has claimed will be exposed.
Many seemingly overdue prophecies will be fulfilled - this includes personal, family, generational, corporate (body), city and state, national and even global prophecies that was spoken years, decades, centuries, and even millennia ago will start to come forth even in January of 2013.
We are under siege and we don't even realize it. 1 Peter 4:7 admonishes us to "be sober." We must take time to pay attention. We are giving our attention to things that don't matter. When we received Christ, we received Him in His fullness. Jesus is the center of our Joy, and should be our focus. We become bound when our focus is not centered on Christ, and building His Kingdom.
Joy is supposed to be full. It's a fruit of the spirit. It is a powerful, spiritual force. It's divine energy. With joy we are able to persevere. When we have joy we can endure. We receive joy when we are a doer of the word. We need to pray in the Holy Ghost. Joy keeps us from burning out because we know what's on the other side. We must rise up and stand in this evil day. We must take time to show up for the moment of our lives.
Many things we give ourselves to have absolutely no eternal value. We must not give ourselves to things that are passing away. This life is but a vapor that appears for a moment and then its gone. We must learn what's important. We will never have true joy until we are givers. The very essence of joy is giving. Jesus commanded us to love one another that our joy may be full. This means that our joy can be half full or empty. If we do not love one another, it is impossible to have joy. Joy is the divine strength of God. This is why the Word says the joy of the Lord is our strength. Joy is like oil that is poured out. Jesus was anointed with the oil of joy. There is an anointing of joy, but joy is a fruit of the Spirit that we bear. We produce joy by being a doer of the Word. The Holy Spirit working in your spirit produces joy. We stir ourselves up in joy when we pray in the Holy Ghost and when we love the way we were commanded to love.
Hear the Heavenly Call
Have you heard the heavenly call? Or for some of us, do you still hear the heavenly call? Today, if you hear His voice…" This very day, God speaks to us through His Word! Today lends a sense of urgency to this message. It says, "Don't put off obedience to a more convenient time. Now is the day of salvation! Now is the time God is speaking to you. Don't ignore Him! You may not get another opportunity!"
As Christians, we once heard the voice from heaven. However lately, we were struck with a spiritual deafness. The sound of lack resounded louder than the voice of Jesus. The Word tells us in Hebrews 3:7-11:
7 Therefore, as the Holy Spirit says:
Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. No one has seen God at any time. If we love one another, God abides in us, and His love has been perfected in us. By this we know that we abide in Him, and He is us, because He has given us of His Spirit
We believe that God is the answer to our search for truth and significance in life. The Bible says that God has revealed Himself to man when he came to earth in a human body. His name is Jesus and he desires to reconcile man to God.

T'Mir was a Vulcan explorer during the 20th century. She was T'Pol's second foremother ("great-grandmother") and T'Les's foremother ("grandmother").
In 1957, the vessel T'Mir was serving on was investigating the first artificial satellite launched by Humans, then a pre-warp civilization, Sputnik I. Her vessel crash-landed on Earth in the small town of Carbon Creek, Pennsylvania, in the United States of America. She took command when the captain of the vessel was killed in the crash. After running out of food, she and Mestral, one of her two remaining crewmates, walked to the town of Carbon Creek and entered a local tavern. Needing money, Mestral played a game of pool and won enough money to buy food.
T'Mir and her crewmates assimilated into the Human society while they waited for a rescue ship. T'Mir was employed as a cleaning lady in the tavern. She had a pessimistic view of Humans, believing that they were on the brink of self-annihilation. She also cautioned her crewmates from getting too close to the Humans. When Mestral became involved with the tavern owner, Maggie, T'Mir warned him not to see her again. Her views changed as time went on.
She became interested in Maggie's son, Jack. Jack wished to go to college, but his mother could not afford it, even though she had set up a tip jar for the college fund. To help Jack out, T'Mir took something from the wrecked ship, traveled to a large city, and sold it to a businessman. It was an "invention" that would later be called Velcro. She put the large sum of money she received in exchange for it in the college fund tip jar. T'Mir also helped her crewmates rescue miners trapped in a mine accident.
When a rescue ship finally arrived on Earth, T'Mir covered for Mestral, who wished to stay behind, by telling Captain Tellus that he had been killed in the crash, along with their captain, and that their bodies had been cremated. She and her crewmate, Stron, then returned to Vulcan. (ENT: "Carbon Creek")

The mayor pro tem of Bridgeton was pistol whipped during a robbery last night at his business.
Charles Freeman says three men came into the 901 Salon on D Street around 11:00 p.m. He says he normally keeps the doors locked at that hour, but did not last night.
Freeman says one man came in asking for directions, while two others then burst through the door. He says one of the robbers kicked his dog, so he got mad and started to fight back. That's when he was hit in the head with a gun.
The mayor pro tem says the robbers got away with his wallet and cash.
Police say two of the robbers were armed, and all three took off in what is believed to be a Chevy HHR, gray in color. Freeman was treated at the scene for his injuries.

We're small business America waiting to be helped by big business America. If you've seen my website lately you'll see the Go Daddy girl and not my bunny. Our website has been down since Saturday and we're still waiting for Go Daddy to help us get back on the web. Who on earth is Go […]
January 10, 2013 - 6:27 pm
Please call the guys at websites for quilters. They are a quilting family. Mom and Dad own superior threads
January 10, 2013 - 6:47 pm
I'm patient…getting UFOs done while I wait to order for a new project!! Extra tummy rubs for Chelsea! And, as a cat lover of course Pumpkin needs extra behind the ear scratches!
January 10, 2013 - 6:50 pm
I've been trying to get your site for days…weeks? Seems like it anyhow. So today when I was directed to Go Daddy, I was a bit confused. But it said it is a parking place for websites, so I decided this must be where the bunnies are resting. I feel so bad for you, hope someone comes to your rescue soon so you can get your business back up and running!
January 10, 2013 - 7:40 pm
Tell Big, Bad Daddy to GO AWAY! Boo, hiss GO DADDY! I vote for Pam's idea to contact websites for quilters.
January 10, 2013 - 8:49 pm
Godaddy is fine for a registrar but the are notoriously as a web host, try blue host or dream host or there are a few other more highly rated webhosting companies.
January 10, 2013 - 9:14 pm
I feel your frustration, Anne. I use Go Daddy, mostly for registering my domain name (so someone else can't) and as a placeholder to direct people back to my blog. If I ever decide to activate an online store, I'll consider some of the other sources suggested here. I'll keep checking back until I can place an order.
January 10, 2013 - 10:17 pm
Hang in there Anne. We will patiently wait, members of the generation that love/hate computers. Please give our best to Chelsea. Maybe it is best so her treats to get spaced out over more days! Love your GO BUNNY HILL GIRL!
Best of luck
Joanne and Cindy Bear Airedale

Ain't technology grand! until it goes wrong. Nothing we can do but wait it out, I know how frustrating it is when it's your business. We lose our internet a lot in France, one storm and it's off, sometimes it's hours sometimes it's days, I feel like I have lost contact with the outside world. Tell me….. how did we manage before the internet……. LOL. Hugs
January 11, 2013 - 4:50 am
hmmm, I'd bail on Go Daddy in a heart beat. Not the best reputation. I think we all understand and feel your pain. HUGS!
January 11, 2013 - 5:08 am
How frustrating! I laughed at Joanne's comment about belonging to the love/hate computers generation! I certainly fit that description! Might be time to move to a private web designer. At least you'd have a person to talk to immediately if a problem occurs. Kisses for the babies from Penny!
January 11, 2013 - 6:17 am
The two things that are the most frustrating for me…trouble with my website and trouble with my car! Sorry you are having problems and that they are taking so long to fix them. My website is with Intuit. My husband set it up – he started with GoDaddy and felt that Inuit was much easier to work with. Hope they get you up and running soon!
January 11, 2013 - 6:19 am
Thanks for the explanation Anne! I have wondered for a while who Go Daddy is!How frustrating for you but no worries I will patiently wait. Love all your animal pic's and stories too!!!
January 11, 2013 - 7:36 am
I have been checking and checking on your site. Hopefully they get it together for you soon! Have you asked if Danika Patricks mom is a quilter??? That could be your in to getting back online soon! Gheez!
January 11, 2013 - 9:00 am
Ditto everything everyone else has said… and I adore you Bunny Racer! Hilarious!
January 12, 2013 - 4:18 pm
oh thank goodness you are not gone. I was truly worried.
January 12, 2013 - 5:18 pm
Good luck Anne, have been checking regularly, great to see the site is up again but no connection for ordering yet.
January 12, 2013 - 6:51 pm
I felt so bad for you that I sent GoDaddy a note of complaint and a request of how much longer our wait would be. I got a return email asking me what website I was asking about. Go figure!
January 12, 2013 - 9:36 pm
So frustrationg for all ~ you, us your followers & of course, Chelsea! Love your designs, products and your wonderful five star + customer service! Will continue checking if your website is up and running ~ good luck that it's soon!

Hope your site is back up soon.
January 13, 2013 - 10:20 am
Well, I got into the shop but when I clicked on an item, I got a "can't connect" message. But maybe that's progress? Let's hope so!
January 13, 2013 - 3:22 pm
I'm still trying to get in to your site and still o luck! I can only imagine just how frustrated you must be.
I think "Go Daddy" should soon be "Gone Daddy" for Bunny Hill.

The Shinju (神樹) is a primordial entity and the known origin of all chakra. It's more commonly referred to as the Ten-Tails (十尾, Jūbi), a beast created by the combined entities of the Shinju and Kaguya Ōtsutsuki to reclaim the chakra inherited by her two sons, and tied to the legend of the Sage of the Six Paths and the birth of shinobi. A menace to life in the distant past, the Sage and his brother managed to defeat the Ten-Tails and harness its power to usher humanity into a new era. At the end of his life, the Sage split the Ten-Tails into the nine tailed beasts so that its power could never be used against the world again.[3] Centuries later, its revival became the objective of Madara Uchiha and Akatsuki. The world of ninja united in opposition of this goal, resulting in the Fourth Shinobi World War.
Long before the founding of the hidden villages, during an era of endless wars between mankind, the Shinju, a tree revered as a deity, bore a Chakra Fruit once every thousand years. Although it was forbidden to consume the Shinju's fruit, it was eaten by Princess Kaguya Ōtsutsuki, who used the power it granted her to end the wars plaguing the lands. Some time after this, Kaguya gave birth to two sons who became the first humans born with chakra. Angered at the power gained by her children, Kaguya fused with the Shinju into an entity that would be christened by many as the "Ten-Tails", which ravaged the world attempting to reclaim its lost chakra.
In the final duel between the Ten-Tails and Kaguya's sons, Hagoromo and Hamura, they managed to defeat the beast and sealed it within Hagoromo. This act, along with many other great deeds throughout his lifetime, resulted in Hagoromo becoming revered as the "Sage of the Six Paths". However, knowing that his death would unleash the Ten-Tails back into the world to continue its rampage and reclaim the chakra that humanity now possesses, Hagoromo separated the monster's chakra from its body and used his Creation of All Things ability to create the nine tailed beasts. Hagoromo then used Chibaku Tensei to seal the Ten-Tails' husk in what would become the moon, during which led to the creation of Black Zetsu to serve the will of Kaguya.[4][5]
Centuries later, the Rinnegan would once again manifest itself in one of Hagoromo's descendants: Madara Uchiha. With his new power, Madara summoned the empty vessel of the Ten-Tails back into the world and named it the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path.[6] Joined by Obito Uchiha, who continued his work after his death, Madara devised a means to reunite the Demonic Statue and the tailed beasts back into their original form so he could use the Ten-Tails to enact his life-long ambition: the Eye of the Moon Plan.
The Shinju is an impartial entity and was completely devoid of feelings or even ideals as it stayed neutral and almost ambivalent to the constant wars that were waged around it by mankind. As the Ten-Tails, it follows Kaguya's will to reclaim the power that had been taken from it and as Kurama noted, this form of singularity in its mindset made it impossible for those to sense it through means such as detecting negative emotions or even chakra due to its vast power. Individuals in Sage Mode are best able to gain some sense of the beast's power, and even then it appears immeasurable and overwhelming; Kurama likens the Ten-Tails to be an innate force of nature.[7] However, due to Kaguya's presence within it reacted to seeing the presence of the tailed beasts' chakra inside Naruto and the image of Hagoromo by gathering chakra and strengthening itself.[8] Kaguya's will becomes more apparent when she told Madara (having mistaken it for the Shinju's) to absorb the tree.[9]
The Ten-Tails is a brown creature of titanic size; one of its hands is bigger than any of the tailed beasts.[10] Its single eye, which takes up most of its head, is a red-coloured Rinnegan.[11][12] In its original form, and during its battle with Hagoromo and Hamura, its eye contained at least twelve tomoe in the four circles closest to the pupil,[13][14] though its eye only contains six tomoe after its revival as the Ten-Tails. Silhouetted prior to its introduction, the Ten-Tails was depicted as a cyclops-like humanoid with long, spike-like protrusions on its back and ten tails. In a later appearance, the Ten-Tails' look was a bit more "crass", the spiky protrusions on its back were much higher, resembling a conch shell, and its tails appeared to be bushier.[2]
Upon being revived in an incomplete form, the Ten-Tails possessed a grotesque bulb-like body with spiky protrusions growing out of its back and a wide, cavernous mouth with multiple rows of sharp, pointed teeth, as well as a spiked chin. It had long arms and clawed hands, but no visible hind-legs. It also had dark veins similar to those of a plant all over its body, and the endings of its tails resembled leaf buds, which unfurled as the beast matured.[15][16]
After further maturing, the Ten-Tails took on a more humanoid form. Its bodily proportions were very elongated and emaciated with a twisting neck, yet it retained the spiked bulb from its previous form on its back. The beast possessed visible legs, which it used along with its right arm to stand, as its left arm was missing from the elbow down. Its facial appearance changed greatly, growing a single ear on the right side of its head, while its mouth, which now contained straight teeth and a nostril, moved to the left side. Several horns formed on various parts on its head with two underneath its chin, beneath its eye. The monster's tails also became hands similar to the chakra arms formed by jinchūriki.[17]
As it continued to mature, the Ten-Tails gained a more muscular, healthy appearance, grew a complete left arm, giving it the ability to form hand seals by clapping its hands together, and began standing on its hind legs once more.[18] After gathering more chakra, it evolved further by assuming an even more muscular form, with its horns growing longer and the bulb on its back becoming much smaller.[19] In this form, the Ten-Tails could open its mouth wide to reveal a rafflesia-like attachment when producing a Tailed Beast Ball.[20] When Hagoromo and Hamura encountered the Ten-Tails, it strongly resembled this form, albeit with a bloated appearance and additional spikes on its body.[14]
In its original form, the Shinju is a gargantuan tree. When it was recreated by Obito, it appeared as a tall, straight trunk, on top of which was a flower bud containing the Ten-Tails' eye.[13]
As the original form of all nine tailed beasts, the Ten-Tails was said to possess massive and overwhelmingly foul chakra that is potent enough to bring total despair and destruction to the world.[21] Not only is the Ten-Tails the source of all chakra, but also the progenitor of everything that exists in the world. It is a god that created countries and has the power to swallow oceans, split the land, and carry mountains. In addition, Kurama admitted that it alone wouldn't even stand a chance against the Ten-Tails, and stated that the Sage told them that its revival would result in the end of the world.[22] When Naruto Uzumaki attempted to use Sage Mode to gauge the power of the beast, he was overwhelmed by the vastness of the beast's power, which Kurama noted as immeasurable.[23] Its power was reaffirmed when the beast's chakra completely warped the shape of the Sensing Water Ball at the Allied Shinobi Forces' Headquarters into two connected spheres.[17] It has been stated by Gyūki that if the Ten-Tails was allowed to reach its final form, then there would be no chance of defeating it.[24]
As the original Tailed Beast, the Ten-Tails can create a Tailed Beast Ball. In the beast's initial form, the ball is fired as a continuous beam and is able to overwhelm multiple Tailed Beast Balls from both Gyūki and Kurama without losing momentum; all while still damaging six of Kurama's tails and causing a trail of destruction across the landscape.[25][26] When the Ten-Tails matured into its second form, its Tailed Beast Ball took on a unique, conical shape and gained an immense increase in range, firing speed and destructive power, allowing it to hit targets great distances away from itself as well as destroy mountain ranges and entire cities with a single shot.[27] After gathering a considerable amount of chakra and undergoing several transformations, the Ten-Tails later unhinged and extended its jaw to unfurl a rafflesia-like mouth that functions as a cannon capable of firing massive and extremely powerful Tailed Beast Balls.[20]
Even in an incomplete state, the Ten-Tails possesses immense physical strength and is remarkably fast, despite its tremendous size, as it was able to attack both Naruto and Killer B before either of them could react.[28] It casually flicked back a Tailed Beast Ball with one of its fingers,[29] and could cause a mass-scale earthquake, upturning large portions of land, by simply slamming its hand on the ground.[30] The beast has extreme durability and can remain unfazed even after sustaining massive damage, with a combined Tailed Beast Ball from both Gyūki and Kurama not harming it.[31] Obito noted that it could even withstand the backlash of its own Tailed Beast Ball fired at point-blank range, though Madara believed that the beast would still be wounded. Obito's assumption was proven correct when the Ten-Tails' Tailed Beast Ball, along with Gyūki's, detonated inside of its body, causing it to briefly inflate before shrinking back down largely unaffected.[32] Even wind-enhanced black flames only seemed to cause it irritation without doing any lasting damage, despite Amaterasu on its own being able to neutralise Gyūki.[33]
With its Rinnegan, the beast is able to see across extremely vast distances.[34] A single swipe of its tail can create a shockwave powerful enough to tear up the landscape around it.[35] In its second form, the beast's tails become elongated arms, which effortlessly broke free from the various restraints created by the Allied Forces.[36] The beast seems capable of freely expanding the length and thickness of these tails, using them in order to attack distant foes.[37] After further amassing its chakra, the Ten-Tails' roar can stir a series of massive natural disasters.[38] To defend its main body, the Ten-Tails can spawn clones of many shapes and sizes, ranging from humanoid to animal-like in appearance, some with weapon-like appendages on their arms.[39] These clones are created directly from the beast's body mass and are extensions of its ability to not only regenerate, but also separate its body, which can be used to purge burning flesh from its main body.[40] As another defensive means, it can quickly form additional arms anywhere on its body to grab enemies who are navigating on it.[41]
In its original form, the Shinju's roots are capable of extending and capturing enemies as large as tailed beasts, allowing it to absorb their chakra to the point of desimating them almost instantly. When the Shinju's bud blooms and its eye within is revealed, the Infinite Tsukuyomi can be activated.[42] Those who are placed under said genjutsu and attached to the Shinju's roots are gradually reduced to shells of their former selves, ultimately becoming White Zetsu.[43]
In its first form, Madara and Obito were able to control the Ten-Tails by attaching to it using tendrils that could be extended from its body.[44] To properly control it in its second form, however, they had to reinforce their connection using Hashirama Senju's DNA,[45] and Madara suspected it would be impossible to control the beast in subsequent forms without becoming its jinchūriki. While connected to the beast, Obito was able to use it as a medium for his Wood Release: Cutting Technique.[46] According to Kurama's Yin half, there is a side effect to the Ten-Tails being extracted from its jinchūriki; while the tailed beasts' removal will not put its host in mortal danger, due to the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path itself having a strong life force, it will leave the individual completely paralysed for a time.[47]
Part II
Ten-Tails Revival Arc
Though only able to obtain fragments of Gyūki and Kurama's chakra, Obito Uchiha begins the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path's regeneration into the Ten-Tails. As Madara Uchiha joins the fray, Naruto and Killer B attempt to wipe out the Demonic Statue with a massive Tailed Beast Ball to stop the Ten-Tails from being fully revived. Though the statue's chakra vanished after the attack, the allied ninja's victory was short lived as the Ten-Tails emerges from the settling smoke. With this, Obito echoed Kakashi's sentiments that it was in fact the end, of this world and not the battle. Elsewhere, though disappointed that he was not able to capture the Eight and Nine-Tails to complete the beast's revival, Madara castes this aside and noted that they needed to get on with the plan.
With the revival complete, Obito and Madara situated themselves atop the beast, from which two tendrils manifested and connected themselves to the two Uchiha. Not wanting to waste any time, Obito noted that he wanted to cast the Infinite Tsukuyomi immediately while Madara wanted to test the beast's power first. As the beast attacked Gyūki and Kurama, it quickly landed a blow on Kurama before the fox had time to retaliate. Landing on either side of the beast, Kurama and Gyūki launched a barrage of simultaneous Tailed Beast Balls at the beast only for the Ten-Tails to counter using one of its own, completely nullifying the oncoming attacks. After the dust cleared, a Naruto shadow clone and Kakashi appeared above the Ten-Tails where Kakashi released Gyūki who was preparing to launch a point-blank range Tailed Beast Ball.
Merely flicking the ball back at Gyūki with a finger, the beast prepares to crush Kakashi and Naruto beneath its tail, but only manages to dispel the shadow clone as Kakashi was pushed to safety. Afterwards, the Uchiha have the Ten-Tails prepare a Tailed Beast Ball to decimate their severely exhausted opponents but much to everyone's shock, it missed. It is revealed that control of the beast had been momentarily wrested from their control. With the battlefield now shrouded in mist and all sensory skills being jammed, the question of whether they thought they were hiding was raised. With a single swipe of its tail, the beast is able to dissolve the mist. Just then the Wind Release: Wind Cutter Technique is used to counter, and when the mist cleared, it is revealed that the rest of the Allied Shinobi Forces had joined the battle.
The Alliance launched a barrage of techniques in order to incapacitate the Ten-Tails, so that they could get to Obito and Madara. As the beast is subsequently immobilised in what was effectively cement, the two Uchiha commented that the effort is futile as the Ten-Tails began its metamorphosis into its mature form. Once fully matured, the Ten-Tails bursts forth from its prison and proceeds to devastate several towns, with the shinobi headquarters and everyone in it targeted as well. After wiping out the headquarters, Madara realises that Ten-Tails is becoming more troublesome to control as he allows Obito to assume command as only he can revive Madara into a living body, allowing him to become the beast's jinchūriki. Once in control, Obito uses the Ten-Tails to channel the Wood Release: Cutting Technique to decimate the Allied Forces with wooden stakes, with Neji Hyūga among the fatally wounded, before it is sandwiched between Kitsuchi's Earth Release: Sandwich Technique. When encouraging words from his friends kept Naruto from breaking, Obito ignoring Madara that he would injure the Ten-Tails wrapped the beast with its tails and prepared to annihilate the Allied Forces with a Tailed Beast Ball at close range. However, before the ball could be fired, Killer B transformed into the Eight-Tails charging his own Tailed Beast Ball, stuffed both into the Ten-Tails' mouth and detonated them, causing the beast to collapse in pain.
After Naruto infused Hinata Hyūga with Kurama's chakra, she was able to deflect one of its tails before Naruto sent his shadow clones to repeat the process with other Alliance shinobi. Overwhelmed by the empowered Allied ninja, the Ten-Tails was restrained by Shikamaru Nara and his Nara clan kinsmen. With Madara's influence, the Ten-Tails was able to resist the Shadow Imitation Technique and attempted to assault the Alliance shinobi with its tails, only to be stopped by their combined efforts. The beast subsequently formed a cage around the Alliance as Obito mocked that it was a fitting fate akin to what the Hyūga subjected its members to. Not deterred by this, the shinobi press forward and cut through their would be bars with Naruto's Rasenshuriken. Naruto was able to force Obito to avoid his Rasenshuriken while Rock Lee attacked Madara, causing the two to lose their means of controlling the beast as they are forced to the ground. However, now acting on its own mindless accord, and maturing even further, the Ten-Tails went on a rampage while completely warping the weather around the area. Obito considered becoming its jinchūriki to contain it, but ended up being caught into battle with Kakashi, going into the other dimension. After the Tenpenchii dissipated, it looked at Naruto and sensed the presence of seven tailed beasts, and saw a mysterious shadow with a pair of Rinnegan. This stirred it and it roared while gathering more chakra, increasing its form once more. It opened its mouth wide, producing a flower-like structure that it used to create a large Tailed Beast Ball, firing it at the Shinobi Alliance. It easily smashed through their Earth Release barriers, but was warped away by Minato Namikaze upon his arrival to the battlefield.
After the reincarnated Hokage had properly positioned themselves, they trapped the Ten-Tails within a large barrier topped with Hashirama's restraints to further immobilise its movements as they prepared to attack the beast. The Ten-Tails, aware that its capture seems imminent, split into miniature clones, charging at Shinobi Alliance. With the help of there respective summons Naruto and Sasuke got past the Ten-Tails' clone army and charged it. Naruto combined his Wind Release: Ultra-Big Ball Rasenshuriken with Sasuke's Blaze Release: Susanoo Kagutsuchi to create Scorch Release: Halo Gale Jet Black Arrow Style Zero which dealt a direct and massive hit on the Ten-Tails. The Ten-Tails then collapsed as the black flames consumed it.
Whilst Naruto and Sasuke were both on opposing views: Naruto intending to remove the tailed beasts inside the Ten-Tails, and Sasuke wanting it to burn until the last cell, as the beast was consumed, the Ten-Tails removed the Amaterasu-consumed area of its body much to the shock of the young Uchiha. When Obito warped out of the other dimension heavily wounded, Madara attempted to force him to revive him, Obito resisted and used that opportunity to make himself the Ten-Tails' jinchūriki, breaking free of the barrier. Once inside Obito's body, the Ten-Tails made an attempt to consume the human before Obito asserted control over the creature. Ultimately gaining control of the beast, Obito continued to battle the Allied Shinobi Forces where he ultimately extracted the beast from his body and had it assume its true form: the Shinju. While in this form, the tree begins attacking the shinobi, its roots sapping chakra from its victims. Madara explained the origins of the tree and how it has become the Ten-Tails, and explained that once the lotus flower atop the tree opened, the Shinju's eye would be reflected on the moon and the Eye of the Moon Plan would be completed.
As Obito continued to dominate the battle, waiting for the blooming of the Shinju to be completed, the senjutsu-enhanced teamwork of Naruto and Sasuke were able to land a critical hit on Obito. This allowed Naruto, Gaara, and Killer B to latch onto the tailed beast chakra within Obito with their own tailed beast chakra. With the combined efforts of the entire Allied Forces, tailed beasts were freed from Obito, halting the tree's development.
Infinite Tsukuyomi Arc
Later, after re-capturing the nine beasts and sealing them back within the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, the Ten-Tails revives once again. Shortly thereafter, Madara Uchiha summons the beast and ultimately seals it inside of him, making him its newest jinchūriki. When Naruto used the Sage Art: Lava Release Rasenshuriken to cut down the Shinju's flower form that was left behind by Obito, the beast within Madara told him to absorb the falling tree, to which Madara noted to be the beast's desire to unite everything into one being.
Once Madara had completed the Eye of the Moon Plan, he was promptly betrayed by Black Zetsu, who proceeded to use itself and Madara as a medium to revive Kaguya. Soon after, while absorbing chakra from Naruto and Sasuke, Black Zetsu revealed the true story behind the creation of the Ten-Tails and Kaguya's desire to reclaim all chakra for herself.
Video Games
Although it is not a selectable character, Obito summons the Ten-Tails in its second form as his awakening in Naruto Shippūden: Ultimate Ninja Storm Revolution.
- 'Shinju' (神樹) literally means 'god tree', and its size and nature have connections to both the world tree and the tree of life, motifs that are present in several real-life religions and mythologies throughout the world.
- In addition, the story of the Shinju bearing the forbidden fruit is very similar to the story of the Tree of the knowledge of good and evil in Abrahamic religions, where Adam and Eve, the first humans, ate the forbidden fruit despite being told otherwise. Ultimately, while becoming wiser, it lead to their downfall by incurring the wrath of God. For disobeying Him, He forever cursed the two and their descendants. Adam's eldest son, Cain, would murder his younger brother, Abel, in anger and jealousy following God's rejection of his offering while accepting Abel's, which alludes to the struggle between the two sons of the Sage of the Six Paths.
- The wooden dragon-like entities at the base of the Shinju may be a reference to Nidhogg, a dragon or serpent who eternally chews the roots of Yggdrasil in Norse mythology. Likewise with the appearance of the Shinju, it is said that should Nidhogg finally be free of its entrapment underneath Yggdrasil, its appearance into the world beyond its roots are said to herald the coming of Ragnarok, the end of the world and ultimate battle of the gods.[48]
- Deidarabotchi, also known as Daidarabotchi (ダイダラボッチ, Literally meaning: Giant), was a yōkai of titanic proportions in Japanese mythology. Kurama's explanation of how powerful the Ten-Tails is reflects Daidarabotchi's role in the formation of Japan's wilderness, such as the two peaks of Mount Tsukuba, according to Japanese myth.
- The name "Datara" may refer to Ippon-datara (一本ダタラ, Literally meaning: One-Legged Blacksmith), a one-eyed, one-legged blacksmith said to live deep in the mountains of Kumano. Myths vary on his nature as a yōkai or the fallen deity Ameno-me-Hitotsu. Either way, the legends say of Ippon-datara's ability to forge living things from metal that makes another reference to the Ten-Tails as the progenitor of the world.
- In its début in the anime, the Ten-Tails was shown with its red eye with nine tomoe during its battle with the Sage of Six Paths, but when it was about to be sealed into the moon, its eye was purple like the Rinnegan and was missing the tomoe. These were later corrected in episode 253.
- However, when Madara used a genjutsu to tell Obito the story of the Ten-Tails, the mural that depicts the beast has six tomoe in its eye instead of the previously established nine.[49]
- The Ten-Tails can be revived without fully collecting all nine tailed-beasts, having a fraction of the chakra of which is enough to revive it in an incomplete form.[50] However, even without the other tailed beasts the Ten-Tails will slowly become its former self, though it takes time for it to "mature" into its complete form, making it harder for Madara and Obito to control it as it does. In addition, after having the tailed beasts extracted from it, its original form still remained on the battlefield afterwards, even though the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path still existed within Obito's body, and was later extracted from him by Madara.
- The second form of the Ten-Tails head has three primary features: an eye, an ear and a mouth. This is possibly a reference to the maxim: "see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil", alluding to the fact that the beast is not inherently malevolent, but is actually being used for nefarious purposes by Kaguya, Madara and Obito.
- The twin rocks Hagoromo and Hamura are seen fighting the Shinju on in Hagoromo's flashback are a reference to the Meoto Iwa, a pair of stones off the coast of Japan that are considered sacred in Shintō. They are bound by "shinenawa" (標縄, enclosing rope) and represent the union of the Japanese kami, Izanami and Izanagi. In the real world, the two rocks are located near the Grand Shrine of Ise, the most important location in Shintō.

Barnabas the Barmy was a wizard who made a foolish attempt to train trolls for the ballet. [1] A moving tapestry depicting his attempt hung on the seventh floor of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, opposite the entrance to the Room of Requirement. [2]
- "Barnabas" is a Greek form of an Aramaic name. In Acts in the New Testament the byname Barnabas was given to a man named Joseph, a companion of Paul on his missionary journeys. The original Aramaic is unattested, but it may be from בּר נביא (bar naviya') meaning "son of the prophet", though in Acts 4:36 it is claimed that the name means "son of encouragement". As an English name, it came into occasional use after the 12th century.
- According to the Oxford Dictionary of English, the word "barmy" is an informal adjective, chiefly used in Britain that means mad, crazy or extremely foolish.

A man called on June 23 and said he saw a fire smoldering while he was hiking, the sheriff's office said. The dispatcher said the Pueblo Forest Service was already aware of it and would be there shortly.
However, fire crews already out searching for the fire were never told.
Four hours later, fire crews were still struggling to find the fire when the flames erupted. It grew for three days, then reached Colorado Springs, destroying more than 300 homes and taking two lives.
Records show the unidentified hiker warned that he smelled smoke and saw a spot that was smoldering. He even took pictures.
The dispatcher said the situation was under control.
"Pueblo Forest Service checked on that last night they said that they would be sending up another unit first thing this morning to check on it, but they are aware of it and they will be up there shortly this morning. OK?" she asked.
The man hung up without leaving an exact location.
"We tried to recreate and to see whether it would make a difference. It doesn't really matter if it would have or it wouldn't have, a mistake was made, that's a fact. It would have been nice to get his information, put him in touch with them to better direct them.
The dispatcher was disciplined and she felt very bad about what happened, Maketa said.
According to KKTV-TV ( http://tinyurl.com/bmdqgad), investigators said the pictures taken by the witness will not be released because the fire is still under investigation.

I have this album on repeat over and over since I got it a few weeks ago. Halestorms' 'The Strange Case Of....' I have a bit of a girlcrush on Lzzy the lead singer, because I LOVE her voice. She can belt out a ROCK TUNE, and then she can be a bit softer w/ tunes like this one 'In Your Room'.... Big Love to her brother Arejay for commanding the beats on the drums... the whole BAND ROCKS!
If you've got a bit or a lot of a 'ROCKER' in you, I highly recommend getting Halestorm in your collection.. You might recognize 'I MIss The Misery (I was guilty of singing as Mr. Misery, which works too... LOL) from TV commercial... Pick up some 'Rock'n Ear Candy' over the weekend! Have a Happy & Safe one!

Unfortunately, not every summer soiree includes an easy exit. Sometimes, you have to stick it out – rain, shine, or impossible humidity. So before you head to that next dinner party, take a few hot-summer cues from us.
For Men
It's hot and muggy out, and you're going to sweat. Wear a T-shirt, right? Wrong. The Art of Manliness implores you to choose a button-front or polo on sunny days before reaching for the tee. Even a long-sleeve button-front (made of natural fibers) will keep you cooler than a cotton-blend or polyester tee. Not to mention the versatility factor. You'll seldom feel underdressed.
For occasions that call for a sport coat, wear light colors and fabrics (like white and linen). Heading to a patio or beach-front party? Roll up those pant cuffs and swap out oxfords for boat shoes.
For Women
We'll admit it – women sweat, too. (Guys, deal with it). A few things to avoid when hitting the party circuit: cap sleeves, too-short shorts, doing your hair, and the color gray. Go with a billowy off-the-shoulder dress. You'll stay cool while still showing a little skin. Since you'll have to bring a bag for those touch-up essentials, make it a big, bright one that's still slim enough to tuck under your arm.
For Kids
Shorts, tees, stripes, anchors. It's hard to make them not look cute. Heading to a kid-friendly party? Make sure they're comfortable – or you're in for an early night. And don't forget hats. Even if it's not an outside event, they'll probably end up in the yard anyway.
For Home
Not unlike your wardrobe, your summer bed requires cool cotton and linen fabrics for maximum comfort on humid nights. Satin and silk may sound appealing, but they're not as breathable. Swap your heavy winter comforter for a lightweight duvet in a creamy white or nude hue.

Is this paint non-toxic?
Yes, our paints are non-toxic and made in America.
What crafts are best suited for this paint?
The paints are perfect for all craft and hobby painting techniques, including brush painting and detailing, sponging, stenciling, stamping, and printing.
Should I use this on porous or non-porous surfaces?
Both. Because it is a self-priming paint, it can seal and provide color at the same time.
How should I prepare my project surface?
Wood – Sand smooth with fine grit sandpaper, wipe away sawdust.
Tin – Wash with soap and water; wipe with white vinegar-dampened cloth.
Glass/Ceramic – Wash with soap and water; wipe with rubbing alcohol-dampened cloth. Let air dry 15–30 minutes.
Terra Cotta – Wipe clean; seal pot interior with paint or two coats of Martha Stewart Crafts Sprayable Satin Enamel Finish.
Canvas – Wipe primed canvas clean; if unprimed, apply two coats of gesso primer.
Plastic – Wipe clean with damp cloth.
Papier-Mâché – Wipe clean with damp cloth.
Plaster – Wipe clean with damp cloth.
Concrete – Coat with white vinegar (to neutralize lime), let dry, rinse, then let dry thoroughly. The paint is not recommended for concrete areas subject to foot traffic, such as a patio.
Fabric – Prewash in soap and water according to label. Dry thoroughly without fabric softener or dryer sheet. Iron if necessary (without starch).
Can I mix colors to create a new color?
Yes. However, we recommend only mixing paints with the same finish, e.g., satin with satin.
How should I clean tools?
Clean tools while still wet. Wash with soap and water or with Brush & Stencil Cleaner: apply cleaner; work into lather, rinse in cool water and let dry.
What do the AP and CE symbols stand for?
A product that is Certified AP (Approved Product) Non-Toxic has been "certified in a program of toxicological evaluation by a medical expert to contain no materials in sufficient quantities to be toxic or injurious to humans or cause acute or chronic health problems." CE is the symbol used by the European Union.

I must tell you that this beatiful lady (90 years!) is a friend of mine. Her name is Kerstin ben Salem. When I was i Stockholm this week and had dinner with her, she told me about that her picture had been taken in June, but she does not have a computer. We found this blog and she was so pleased and proud to see her picture in the blog!
She is not only beatiful - even more in real life - but also a wonderful person and a talented artist. She was married to the Tunisian painter Aly ben Salem who died ten years ago.

Each week we scour the web for insightful articles to share with the Founder Institute network.
This week's top articles include tips for minimizing your risk, influencing others with your ideas, top leadership traits, and why the lean startup changes everything.
Check out our must read articles for the week of April 29 - May 4th:
|Why the Lean Start-Up Changes Everything
By Steve Blank
|Launching a new enterprise—whether it's a tech start-up, a small business, or an initiative within a large corporation—has always been a hit-or-miss proposition. According to the decades-old formula, you write a business plan, pitch it to investors, assemble a team, introduce a product, and start selling as hard as you can. And somewhere in this sequence of events, you'll probably suffer a fatal setback. The odds are not with you: As new research by Harvard Business School's Shikhar Ghosh shows, 75% of all start-ups fail.
|How to Influence People With Your Ideas
By John Butman
|Aspiring idea entrepreneurs are everywhere: in businesses, classrooms, and communities of all kinds, all over the world. Maybe you know one. Maybe you are one. But you don't have a massive influence-creation machine behind you (few people do) and you wonder how to get your idea heard above all the others competing for attention. How do you proceed?
|9 Leadership Traits of Successful Entrepreneurs
By Martin Zwilling
|Very few people know their own leadership style — or strengths and weaknesses, for that matter. But that's a mistake.
From leading a company to hiring workers, you necessarily must know what you're good at and what, if anything, you need help with to properly meet your company's goals. I'd argue that your leadership-development efforts may be more valuable for achieving startup success than building business skills.
|In Defense of Older Workers: There's No Substitute for Experience And Maturity
By Vivek Wadhwa
|True, some older workers become complacent as they age. They become set in their ways, stop learning new technologies, and believe they are entitled to the high wages they earned at their peak. Their careers stagnate for a valid reason. But these are the exception rather than the rule. Whether it is in computer programming or entrepreneurship, older workers have many advantages—they still are the guru's.
|10 Key Risk Factors to Minimize for Startup Success
By Martin Zwilling
|You have probably heard plenty of times that being an entrepreneur is a risky business, and investors talk all the time about reducing the risk. Yet everyone seems to have their own view of key risk drivers for startups, and I'm no exception. I don't agree, for example, that the first priority is to avoid startups with a high attrition rate, like trendy restaurants and entertainment.
Here is my own priority list of key risk drivers that every entrepreneur and every investor should evaluate and minimize in starting a business:
|Ratio Thinking
By Joel Gascoigne
|Something I've found difficult to completely embrace, but which understanding has been super important, is the idea that there is a ratio for everything. I've started to call this Ratio Thinking, and I've found myself describing this to quite a number of people recently.

Princess and the Frog
Giant Ultra-Strippable Mural
Play-Doh Disney Princess
Design-a-Dress Boutique Playset
GLENDALE, CA — November 17, 2009 — Weeks before the theatrical release of Disney's upcoming animated feature The Princess and the Frog, the excitement for film-inspired merchandise is already building in a big way as anticipation for the film intensifies. Since its launch just a few weeks ago, the merchandise has already begun out-selling other Disney Princess items by double digit percentages. At Disney Store locations nationwide and DisneyStore.com, the Princess Tiana Halloween costume and role-play dress were best sellers. At major retailers, top sellers include The Princess and the Frog-inspired dolls, play sets and books. The Princess and the Frog toys have also captured industry praise as the Princess Tiana doll tops FunFare magazine's "Holiday Hot Dozen" list and the Toys"R"Us "Fabulous 15" Holiday list.
The Princess and the Frog introduces Disney's newest princess character in more than ten years and the first African-American Disney princess. The product line from Disney Consumer Products (DCP) is supporting the film with a wide range of products spanning toys, fashion, home décor, food, personal care, beauty, stationery, books and an assortment for adults including collectibles, art, bridal wear and couture fashion.
"It is typical with any major Disney film to see movie-inspired product available as early as six weeks prior to the film's release, and the same is true for The Princess and the Frog," stated Mary Beech, vice president franchise development and marketing for Disney Consumer Products. "However, the historic release of The Princess and the Frog film has generated tremendous consumer excitement well in advance of the film – and sales thus far have exceeded projections, something that is remarkable for characters that fans are not yet completely familiar with."

Would this be a good reel for use while drift diving?
This should work well. The other type and line holder is a finger spool that will be smaller and more compact. http://www.scuba.com/scuba-gear-158/031696/XS-Scuba-Finger-Spool.html
