Shapeways: Bring your creativity to life in 3D http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php Shapeways: Bring your creativity to life in 3D First Shapeways prints (Chess pieces) http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=12758&th=2540#msg_12758 <![CDATA[I test printed the pawn with three different materials, to see what I liked best, and to test how they look together as separate sides. He's my take on my first ever prints from Shapeways.

 I printed SWF, Grey Robust, and Alumide.

 SWF, looks and feels the best, definatly good for the "white side". You can see a tiny bit of faceting in the model if you look close, so this material certainly prints accurately.

 Grey Robust, looks good, but has some flaws from the printing process, where the beads, or ropes show, and a seam all along one side. Still, not a huge distraction from the print, but something to notice.

 Alumide. Cool material. I wasn't expecting it to be dusty though. Not sure how to clean it best, but not worried about it either.

You should have printed the knight, though. Chess set quality is judged by looking at the knight (something I learned from my wife, who has bought many chess sets). I would spend some extra time on the knight ...]]> gibell 2010-05-12T17:36:54-00:00 Re: First Shapeways prints (Chess pieces) http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=12780&th=2540#msg_12780 <![CDATA[Yeah, next order I'll do the knight, I'm going to try the WSF, in black. I wasn't happy with the contrast between the 2 sides with the gray robust. But the knight was the hardest to model, I wanted nice smooth shapes, while getting the knight to look like a horse head. Not as easy as it sounds! but I like the results. When I get the print, I'll post it. ]]> WelshDesigns 2010-05-12T21:57:13-00:00 Re: First Shapeways prints (Chess pieces) http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=12783&th=2540#msg_12783 <![CDATA[I like the pawn a lot though. Its a very languid pawn if that makes any sense. ]]> joris 2010-05-12T22:19:05-00:00 Re: First Shapeways prints (Chess pieces) http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=12845&th=2540#msg_12845 <![CDATA[The Knight looks "right on"!

 Are you thinking of offering the set for sale once you are done??? Add a sandstone board... Ka-Blamo! NICE

I like the idea of the chess board, it would be easy to make. But the cost would be prohibitive wouldn't it? By my calculations a board with 1 in squares would be about $132 and that's only 1/8in thick which is really thin to print such a big sheet. And these pieces fit on squares of 1 1/2 to 2 inches really! The thing to do would be to make a miniture set for SS and SS gold plated! Then the board would be small too. That would be killer IMHO! I'll have to sell a few sets before I can afford the SS version I'm afraid! ha!]]> WelshDesigns 2010-05-14T16:51:56-00:00 Re: First Shapeways prints (Chess pieces) http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=14183&th=2540#msg_14183 <![CDATA[Nice work.
 Are they hollow or solid?

They would be just too expensive solid. They aren't bad but for a really nice feel I think you could fill with plaster and put on felt bottoms.

Concerns are growing with every record tick higher in the U.S. stock market that equities are getting overheated and setting up for a fall.
But Canaccord Genuity analysts Tony Dwyer and Michael Welch are out with three myth-busting points that they think prove the bull market still has legs.
They are a particularly optimistic bunch over at Canaccord. Their target for the S&P 500 is 1,955 - which implies a greater than 15 per cent gain from current levels. And they are assuming the Federal Reserve won't start tapering bond purchases this year, given that economic numbers just aren't that strong enough and core inflation remains low. That's despite more common thinking that the end of such quantitative easing measures will start to be phased in as early as September.
"Bottom line: we continue to urge investors to not fight the Fed or the tape, and with the uptrend in place, the economy in the fundamental sweet spot, and the SPX trading at less than 15 times our conservative 2014 (earnings) estimate of $115 (U.S.), our conviction level for SPX 1,955 remains high," the Canaccord analysts said in a research note today.
Here's what they have to say about three market beliefs they see as myths.
"Myth: The equity market cannot keep going up with such weak top-line growth and peak in margins.
Reality: Top-line growth for the S&P 500 (excluding financials) was at or below the current year-over-year growth rate at this point in the recovery in both the 1980s and 1990s non-recession valuation expansion markets. Historically, after-tax profit margins historically peak after an inversion of the yield curve. Given current Fed statements, that is highly unlikely for years to come. Busted!
Myth: The market is already up too much and overbought, and it is too late to buy.
Reality: The S&P 500 (SPX) is in fact overbought using our trusty 14-week stochastic indicator, but such an extreme has led to a continuation of upside. Looking back to 1982, when our favoured indicator has moved from below 50 to 95, it has led to an additional median gain of 5.32 per cent over 15.5 weeks prior to the next 5 per cent correction. Busted!
Myth: The US Treasury yields can only go up from here.
Reality: While anything is possible, the 10-year US Treasury (UST) yield remains in a downtrend, is historically overbought and has begun losing momentum. While we do expect a lower UST yield ... we anticipate a move lower in yields toward 2.25 per cent would create a final low to be in place – similar to the 2004 retest of the 2003 low in the UST yield. Busted!"Report Typo/Error

Thunder notebook: News of NBA's referee deal pleases the Thunder
News of NBA's referee deal pleases ThunderThe NBA and NBA Referees Association on Friday officially finalized a deal on a two-year labor agreement that ends a lockout and will bring regular refs back in time for the regular season. On Saturday, Thunder players and coaches were relieved to have the regulars back. "You don't ever want anybody locked out of a job," said Thunder coach Scott Brooks. "I think it's a great opportunity for all of us to get back to being the best league in the world. We have some great officials, and I'm very excited for them that they're back." With replacement referees working the entire preseason, several games were called tight and marred by a high number of fouls. Veteran center Etan Thomas said having the union refs back should help the league have a better regular season. "I think anybody that you ask will say that," Thomas said. "I'm not criticizing the replacement refs at all, but I think it's good for the regular refs to come back. I know they're eager to come back and we're eager to have them back. The entire game will just have a different flow."
Bowen lands final roster spotRyan Bowen is the last man standing among a group that started with four players fighting for the Thunder's 15th and final roster spot. The Thunder waived Mike Harris on Friday after parting ways with Tre Kelley and Michael Ruffin. "I'm happy to be here and help in any way I can," said Bowen, who received the news after Thursday's game against Sacramento. "I don't know what to expect as far as opportunities go other than practice. But to come in every day and work hard and be a good team guy and locker room guy, that's something I've done my whole career. So I'm just trying to bring that work ethic to the team."
Ollie leading by exampleKevin Ollie spent more than 20 minutes in isolation after Saturday's practice. Hunched over, he stared at a wall at the far end of the team's training facility and put himself through dribbling drills with two basketballs in an attempt to improve his ball-handling. With no one else on the court, the scene illustrated what the Thunder likes about the 12-year veteran. "That's why we have him here," Brooks said. "He's a great example for all of our players to watch. "To see him doing that (12) years into the league at age 36, is he really improving his ball-handling? I don't know. But in his mind he wants to get better. And the day that you stop trying to get better you're going to be out of the league. He's a high-character man that's committed to getting better at every opportunity." BY DARNELL MAYBERRY

"Paper quality was perfect for a save the date. My custom color turned out exactly like the proof I was sent. My order arrived early. Everyone absolutely loved them!!"
"We chose this design because the left side looked like a book cover and we had the perfect black and white picture to use. Only complaint was on the of the smaller pictures was printed so bright you couldn't make out some of the picture, couldn't tell from the spec they sent and I even chose to have someone personally check it first"
"I got tons of compliments on my save the dates! I really liked how once I submitted my design, someone contacted me and made sure it was everything I wanted. I was a little surprised it was a little thin..should have checked before I ordered. But definitely not cheap! I would definitely pick this design again."
"Wow, wow, wow we used the weddingpaperdivas website to upload our photos, design the perfect save the dates for our wedding, we ordered with a special designer request on the back as our wedding is a destination wedding. Within 24hours we had the proofs, we approved and even with the Easter long weekend 7 days later our product was delivered to us on the other side of the world! We absolutely love the finished product, top quality paper, professional finish and all with a personal touch. We can't wait to order our invites and all the associated bits and pieces for the wedding! Thank you wedding paper divas we are ecstatic"
"We choose the purple color - which is like an eggplant. It is beautiful and the card turned out great. The pictures weren't tiny (like i was worried about) but you can see all 3 very easily. A really cute style. Everyone liked the quote on the back as well."

One of the most dreaded tasks for musicians to tackle is generating publicity. Fortunately, it''s simpler than you may think. Start by understanding the three types of media, and then tailor your approach to get coverage. You can start out small and build on each success. Each mention you get helps you get more coverage, bigger publications, and more buzz on your social networks.
Traditional media is usually the only type that people think of, and it includes TV, radio, newspapers, and magazines. Unfortunately, people with money and access have the best chance of getting coverage. Also, these outlets have been downsized. They have fewer journalists to research and write stories at a time when there are more press releases and news demanding attention.
To get covered in the traditional media, send a press release at least three months ahead of the event you want covered so the publication or broadcast outlet has time to schedule the story. To really stand out, send a link to a video to improve your chances of getting covered. However, unless you have some real money, media contacts you can already use, or a publicist, expect to need prior stories or coverage about your act to get traditional media coverage. If you don''t have any, don''t worry: Use the new media to build up a history first.
New media includes blogs, podcasts, vidcasts (video podcasts), and websites. These outlets vary in audience size, subject, and professionalism, especially because most are run by people who are passionate about the topics they cover. New media is a great place to begin getting coverage for your music if you are just starting out because QUOTEs from blogs can help you to establish credibility for larger outlets, and eventually traditional media, which will do a search on you when they haven''t heard of you. Any new media coverage that you''ve had can help establish your history.
There are no set rules for working with new media—it''s best if you just start with an email, not a press release. Another advantage is because new media is web-based; they often link directly to your website giving you new visitors and a way to track the effectiveness of the coverage.
Social media sites such as Facebook and Twitter are the newest development in getting publicity. They also have the fewest number of rules. The primary advantage of these sites is how they amplify word of mouth. In some ways, each of your fans has an audience that you can reach: their friends. The posts that you share can be shared by others with a few clicks, getting your music and message out to a large audience in an entirely new way.
With these three media in mind, how can you organize a publicity campaign around all of them? Get that initial coverage in the blogs or podcasts that are within your reach. Start with anyone you know with a blog or a media outlet. Then talk about the coverage through your social media so your followers can get the message to new fans. Next, use that first bit of coverage to reach up to media with larger audiences, showing them that you have some buzz and momentum. Before long, you''ll have a media QUOTE page that can be used to show that you have some substance.
And then, just keep building from there.

This is going to take a little getting used to.
I am the last person on the planet that should be commenting on someone's hair, but I am going to pass this along — Miami's Chris Andersen has shaved his trademark mohawk.
What does Andersen say?
Stephen Curry wasn't hitting threes like the video-game version of himself (the one we have come to expect), so he attacked the rim and made plays in the paint. The result was 31 points on 20 shots — and he set the tone for the Warriors all night.
Not just on offense, Curry had a key steal plus blocked a Kevin Durant shot late.
"I thought he looked like 91 percent," Warriors coach Steve Kerr joked about Curry after the game (referencing the report Curry is just 70 percent healthy).
Curry played better than he had since Game 2 — so did Draymond Green, who had some offensive struggles but played the defense we know. The Warriors also got 27 points from Klay Thompson, and 15 points plus a lot great play in the paint from Andrew Bogut. With Golden State attacking the rim, they got to the free throw line 34 times.
The result was a 120-111 Golden State win at home in Game 5, making the series 3-2.
Now the biggest test of the season comes for the Warriors — they will need to play better than this Saturday on the road in Oklahoma City to force a Game 7.
The best way to describe Curry's night was "good enough." Credit to him attacking when his threes were not falling, look at his shot chart on the night.
The Warriors also took the Thunder out of what had been successful for them the past couple games — OKC had just 15 fast break points (compared to 28 for the Warriors), the Warriors were +18 on points in the paint, and the Warriors outrebounded the Thunder on the night. The Warriors didn't overthink thier defense on the Thunder in this one, they just did a better job of executing switches and, thanks to Bogut, taking away easy buckets inside.
Russell Westbrook and OKC struggled out of the gate — as a team, they shot 8-of-28 in the first quarter and at one point Westbrook missed 10 shots in a row. The Warriors were not hot with their typical shots — 2-of-10 from three — but they were getting to the rim and finishing better inside, which got them a lead in a game where Oracle Arena is rocking.
Steve Kerr did not dramatically change what had worked so well for Golden State all season, counting on his team to just be better — and it was, they outscored the Thunder small-ball lineup 20-15 in the first half (after being destroyed by it in the previous two games). The Thunder hung around in the second thanks to mid-range jumpers (5-of-7 in the second, plus 3-of-5 from three). But the Thunder did not get the same lift from their stars, Kevin Durant had 15 first half points on 15 shots, Westbrook had 13 on 14 shots (but still had six assists). Golden State led 58-50 at the half.
The Thunder opened the second half on a 9-2 run and things yo-yoed between tied and a small Warrior lead for much of the second half, until the Golden State's bench pushed the lead into double digits again late in the third and early in the fourth. That lead held until the six-minute mark in the fourth quarter, when the Thunder went on an 8-0 run fueled by some sloppy Warriors turnovers.
But the Warriors showed more poise than they have in the past few games, holding on for the win, making plays at the end when they needed to.
Now, can they do that and better on the road?
Draymond Green missed both his 3-pointers prior, but he made this.
Unfortunately for the Warriors, it didn't count because it came after a whistle (that few heard over the loud Golden State fans).
Stephen Curry sunk a 3-pointer later in the possession. That one counted.
1. Khloe Kardashian filed for divorce from Lamar Odom.
2. With Odom facing health problems after a drug overdose, they rescinded the filing.
3. Odom reportedly continued drinking, frustrating Kardashian.
Court records in Los Angeles show Kardashian filed for divorce Thursday, citing irreconcilable differences.
WASHINGTON (AP) — A person familiar with the situation says Washington Wizards forward Markieff Morris was detained at Philadelphia International Airport and then released.
The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity Thursday because Morris was not charged. The person did not specify why Morris was detained.
The Wizards said in a statement they "spoke with Markieff earlier today and will continue to gather more details."
Tinicum Township Police and Morris' lawyer did not immediately respond to messages seeking comment.
The 26-year-old Morris is from Philadelphia. The Wizards acquired him from the Phoenix Suns at the NBA trade deadline.
Morris and twin brother Marcus, a forward for the Detroit Pistons, were indicted by an Arizona grand jury last year on felony aggravated assault charges for allegedly beating a man outside a Phoenix recreation center. The case is still pending.
According to a Phoenix police report, Erik Hood said five people including the Morris brothers repeatedly punched and kicked him. All five then left the area in a Rolls-Royce Phantom as bystanders began to appear. Police say it is alleged that Hood was assaulted for sending an inappropriate text message to the Morris brothers' mother.

I am teaching on a three day course on ministry renewal at Stellenbosch University. The quote that we are using to frame our thoughts with the group of 15 or so ministers, pastors and priests (most of whom have been in ministry for around 15-20 years) is this one:
Jesus said in his society there is a new way for [people] to live:
you show wisdom, by trusting people;
you handle leadership, by serving;
you handle money, by sharing;
you handle enemies, by loving;
and you handle violence, by suffering.
In fact you have a new attitude toward everything, toward everybody. Toward nature, toward the state in which you happen to live, toward women [and men], towards slaves, toward all and every single thing. Because this is a Jesus society and you repent, not by feeling bad, but by thinking different.
- Rudy Wiebe, 'The blue mountains of China' (Toronto: McClelland and Stewart, 1970:215-216)
I find this quote deeply challenging. Loving discipleship, focussed on the Lord of Grace, in order to live in a different way, perhaps even a better way.

Profiling the 21st Century's 'Merchant of Death'
Russian arms dealer Victor Bout has armed Islamic extremists and sold weapons to some of the Third World's most abusive and murderous dictators and warlords — and he's known for fueling both sides of conflicts.
His success is rooted in the legacy of the Cold War, whose messy unraveling left him with easy access to massive inventories of weapons and ammunition built up by the Soviets. We talk about Bout with journalists Douglas Farah and Stephen Braun, who've co-written a book about him: Merchant of Death: Money, Guns, Planes, and the Man Who Makes War Possible.

I posed this question a few days ago and predicted that it will happen before the end of the year, and I believe even more now that that will prove correct. Both stocks are obviously taking a haircut in this macroenvironment--low tide brings all ships down, etc.--but ESRX is in an ugly, nay, VERY UGLY, position.As I've alluded to before, there are legions of loyal Walgreens customers who have Medicare Part D or Medicare Advantage Plans that use Express Scripts. These people are not tied to their plans the way a company employee, say, is to the one (or two if they are lucky) choices their employer offers. Rather, Medicare have open enrollment every year between Oct. 15th & Dec. 7th. That is to say, starting Oct. 15th Medicare enrollees can start to drop Express Scripts.Why is this important? Well, WAG has tens of thousands of appointments already set up starting Oct. 15th with their medicare patients. At these appointments, WAG customers will be given a printout from the medicare.gov website listing all the available plans and comparative costs (utilizing their prescription information from this year as a guide). I suspect WAG will probably take this opportunity to POINT OUT WHICH PLANS WILL BE PARTICIPATING in their network. Not so good for ESRX.Which is to say, in short, that unless some magic happens and ESRX gets wise about signing a contract with WAG, their medicare enrollment numbers are going to start dropping, dropping A LOT, and FAST.That is without even mentioning the number of companies who are in the process of finding a new insurance carrier (or many who ALREADY HAVE) just because it appears possible that ESRX will not be able to provide full market access.All told, it would appear that WAG is going to come out of this war in a much better position than ESRX. WAG stock price will probably drop to #30/share, maybe even dip into the $20's, but ESRX is going to DROP LIKE A LED ZEPPELIN. One can't even predict how low it might go.
Unfortunately what you are saying is not true.The stock price of any company is irrelevant when compared to market cap. ESRX and WAG are relatively inexpensive when compared to forward earnings. I bought shares of ESRX yesterday as I consider this a good entry point. The issue with WAG/ESRX will hurt both companies, however WAG will lose short term because in January customers will fill at a different pharmacy.ESRX may lose long term if clients wish to be part of Caremark....however WAG will still lose because Caremark will steer customers to CVS. Despite what analysts say, WAG may be harmed more, however not as much as WAG employees. Good Luck if ure a WAG employee. If you are, consider opening your own shop!
$0.44 closer today. The per share price gap is narrowing almost daily. ESRX is looking terrible for so many reasons. Can't wait to see what the Feds find out when ESRX has to disclose it's Medicare Prescription Markups. See: http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2011-10-03/express-scripts-must-disclose-markup-in-drug-plans-u-s-says.html?cmpid=yhooParticulary interesting was the following: "The pharmacy-benefit managers also would have to disclose the amount and types of rebates and discounts from drugmakers and the percentage of generic drugs dispensed."This is interesting because one of the conditions ESRX's proposed contract would have imposed on WAG was the right to determine, at their sole discretion, and in their own time-frame, what is and what is not a "brand name" medication, as if that isn't so obvious as to be patently absurd. In light of what I quoted above, you should ask yourselves why they would want to have the ability to unilaterally decide what is "brand" and what is "generic." I guess they will argue that their price fixing/rebate negotiating is a "proprietary" issue and shouldn't be disclosed to the public, even though it's in the public's interest that they are making these deals---ummmm, yeah, either that or they are running a nearly criminal enterprise.Interesting to see what comes of it, indeed.
cmxgen,I noted with humor that the Walgreens child-pharmacist cabal is over here, as well, one-starring your post (which I corrected) and five-starring stephanie's pro-Walgreens "devotion". Note that no other posts on this message board have ANY stars.How pathetic and desperate these Waggies have become!Yank


text: My home MB has been subjected to a cynical campaign of censorship over the last two or three years.Information or reasoning with the potential to portray the investment in an attractive light has been reported as abuse, and removed. We've recently made a major acquisition which has transformed the profile of the investment, and it would appear that certain parties are trying to minimize buying pressure from new investors for as long as they can get away with it.Recently I've been hitting these people where it hurts, alerting other investors to the opportunity - but the 'censors' have been following me and engineering the removal of info posted on the new boards. Hence the new ID.Imo it's highly likely that the investors who engineered our RI removal last year will shortly initiate the reverse procedure - resulting in a significant increase in the share price over the next ten weeks.

Jingle all the way to the North Pole this year to help Santa out with all of the presents. When you arrive dozens of little elves will greet you and show you to your work station, but as with any job there is a required uniform and as you can see from what the elves have on, it will most likely be something similar to our Adult Economy Elf Set. Male or female, anyone can wear this unisex elf costume and one size fits almost anyone. Wear a loose-fitting tunic with a scalloped hem and sleeves in red and green, an elaborate collar with tiny gold bells also seen on the adorable elf hat that curves at the top like the matching elf shoes, and a gold cord belt ties everything together seamlessly so you can work just like Santa's elves while clad like them in this Adult Economy Elf Set.

Thank you, it's an excellent cheetah feature! Happy International Cheetah Day!
Many scientists ascertain that Cheetahs have no subspecies or breeds.
Well, I didn't write anywhere that this is a subspecies or breed, did I? In fact it is just a rare colour variation caused by a recessive gene.
I thought I was the only person who knew there was such a thing as king cheetahs.

Shipping Estimator
Estimate Shipping Cost
Heritage Series- Featuring a beautiful Amish handcrafted reproduction vintage sewing cabinet for the modern Janome 712T treadle machine. This cabinet will also fit many of the older Singer 15 Class Sewing Machines.
The cabinet is available in medium stained oak as pictured standard. You may also select natural oak below; this selection may take an additional two weeks to build.
Cabinet comes with a heavy duty powder coated treadle. Instead of the original cast iron legs this cabinet has wooden legs to hold the treadle. If you have an original cast iron base, we can have a replacement wood top made for you. E-mail us for more specifics.
What are customers are saying:
Tammy and I want to thank you for going out of your way to get our sewing machine to us so quickly. Tammy is very pleased with the quality of the cabinet! The fit and finish is top notch. I did have to file a small corner of wood away so that the sewing machine would fold underneath the table properly, but that corner is out of sight so no one will ever know.
The iron work for the treadle is exceptional, and everything fit exactly where it should have. The unit is very well built and will easily last several lifetimes!
S and T
All I can say is that the workmanship on the cabinet is beautiful – outstanding and worth every penny. I must tell you - after the cabinet came ………..you have no idea how impressed I was – the photos online were great – but seeing the real thing – having the cabinet here ………..I feel the photos do not do it justice. The wood is sanded so beautifully and smooth and the corners rounded perfectly. It really is beautiful – a work of art.

As the title says.
Coming from Java im used to:
private int A;
public void setA(int A) {
this.A = A;
public int getA() {
return this.A
How do I do that (if I need to) in Python.
And if one of
__setattr__ or
__set__ is used for this, what is the other one used for?
Edit: I feel I need to clarify. I know that in Python one doe's not create setters and getters before they are needed.
Lets say I want to do something like this:
public void setA(int A) {
this.A = A;
What is the "pythonic" way to implement this?

Governor Perdue on Wednesday signed two measures intended to help with the cleanup from the weekend tornadoes.
The governor signed an executive order, which will help farmers clear their land and return to their livelihoods in the wake of the storms.
The order allows the N.C. Department of Transportation to pick up debris from the edge of a farmer's property. Without the order, farmers would have to move debris all the way to the state right-of-way.
Perdue also signed into law a bill which makes further accommodations for property owners who need to clean up storm debris. The bill allows property owners to bury debris without a permit until June 1.

Verve Peek: One Person
The sunny-and-70º weather here in Virginia today has been almost intoxicating! All day long it has beckoned me to come out and stay out. (Or is it the weeds beckoning me to be pulled, or the screened porch beckoning me to clean it before tomorrow's birthday party?) Either way, I've obliged, but I did want to pop back inside to quickly show you another peek at one of Verve's new sets. This one is called One Person, a set of truly beautiful sentiments and gorgeous Vervalicious florals. I started with the title quote, which has always been a favorite. I stamped onto one of the paper punch-outs from Kaiser Craft's Devonshire 6x6 paper pad. The other designer paper patterns are also from Devonshire. I dry embossed the white base panel with a Cuttlebug Argyle folder. The edges are inked with Ranger Antique Linen and Vintage Photo Distress Inks, then machine-stitched. My clean-and-simple design is still simple, just maybe no longer very "clean." I can't help it - those Distress Inks jump into my hands almost every time!
The flower embellishment is made of both a larger and smaller pair of stamps from One Person. I stamped them onto a Devonshire pattern, trimmed them out and stacked with foam tape, slightly curling the bottom flower petals downward and the top flower petals upward for more dimension. Here's a close-up:
Hope you'll be able to join Julee, Mark (aka Mr. Verve), and the Verve Divas tonight at 9 pm EST in the Verve Forum on Splitcoast for our new release Beach Party. We'll chat, reveal sets, announce winners, show more projects, and then let you shop! I'll keep an eye out for you :)

GREAT card! Love the embossing and flower!!ReplyDelete
lovely card. I pretty much use distress inks on everything! Addicting little pads, eh?ReplyDelete
This card is wonderful. I just love the color combination and the way you've combined the different embellishments along with the different techniques to make it work! I love it!
I just love your style! Love this card as well. Those Distress Inks are hard to put down I know!ReplyDelete
One day I want to make cards like you! I'm still practising :-) Enjoy the weather, I'm freezing!ReplyDelete

Season is something to sneeze at
Pollen comes early to region
Published: Friday, March 23, 2012 at 10:31 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, March 23, 2012 at 1:02 p.m.
A mild winter, coupled with little rain and no wind for two months, has led to more pine and oak tree pollen production and a more active allergy season in this part of Florida.
Pollen survival tips
• If you must work outdoors, wear a mask.
• Do not open up house during spring; use air conditioner.
• After working in yard, bag clothes before washing.
• After heavy exposure, shower immediately.
• If severe symptoms, go to doctor/allergist.
• Tree pollen season typically ends by mid-May.
Nationally, extremely high levels of all different types of pollen have created one of the worst allergy seasons in at least a decade. It's particularly bad in parts of Tennessee and Georgia.
Until this week, the all-time record pollen count — the number of pollen spores caught in a special device in a 24-hour period — in Atlanta was 6,013. On Wednesday, that number hit 9,369.
Allergy season started early because of a mild winter, meaning an earlier start to pollen production in the South and Midwest. Because of the early start, trees are producing more pollen.
The Associated Press reports that pollen counts in some areas hit historic levels this week. A Vanderbilt University clinic in Nashville, Tenn., recorded 11,000 grains of pollen per cubic meter. A count of 1,500 is considered high.
The American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology (ACAAI) released a statement from its Arlington Heights, Ill., headquarters addressing the historic season.
"Weather conditions are particularly favorable for this 'perfect storm' of pollen, which is making an already extended allergy season even worse," said allergist Dr. Stanley Fineman, president of the organization. "We are seeing patients with allergy symptoms much worse than usual for this time of year."
Pollen.com reveals that the pollen count for Alachua and Marion counties are expected to be in the high range today and Sunday, topping 10 on the 12-point scale.
Readings of 9.7 or above fall within the scale's highest level. Weather.com is calling for a moderate pollen count today.
Depending on the day, above-average pollen counts have made life miserable for many people. Typical symptoms are sniffles, watery eyes and sneezing.
Area health departments report that many patients have come to the facility with what they thought were common cold symptoms. In many cases, it turned out to be allergies.
"Some may have a slight fever, or what is called hay fever," said Dr. Bala Krishnan, the Marion County Health Department's medical director.
Also, some patients have been visiting the clinic because their regular medication is no longer working like it had in the past, according to Dr. John Colon, the Alachua County Health Department's medical director.
That's because the pollen season kicked off in late January, several weeks early. Colon added that many allergy patients usually start taking such medicine in March, not January and February.
David Holmes, Marion County extension agent, said signs are obvious that more pollen is hitting the ground in his neighborhood. Pine pollen season usually begins in early February and oak pollen in late February.
Both seasons usually end by mid-May.
Officials note that some people are allergic to only pine pollen and not oak pollen, or vice-versa. People working in the yard need to wear a mask and avoid spring's biggest temptation: opening windows and doors to let in that fresh spring breeze.
With little rain to wash some of the pollen out of trees, coupled with little wind to spread it around, concentrations near the pollen source has been quite high.
There are a dozen varieties of oak trees and a handful of varieties of pine trees in Alachua and Marion counties.

5'11'', 175 lbs. | Bats: R, Throws: R | Class of 2012
ESPN AnalystUpdated 03/26/2012
Marin is a plus runner with some quick-twitch actions that suggest he's got more pop in his bat than his 170-pound frame would otherwise suggest. He's drawn comparisons to former first-round pick and Florida product Nick Franklin along the way. Marin has a good shot to stick at shortstop and if a club believes he will mature physically and hit enough, he could be a top 50 pick. If he doesn't like his draft position, he's got a full ride to Miami waiting for him.

The brown recluse is a venomous spider most commonly found in midwestern and southern states of the United States. It is about one-half inch overall and has long skinny legs. The brown recluse is brown with a characteristic dark violin-shaped marking on its head. It is most commonly found outside in wood, leaves, or in piles of rocks. If a brown recluse wanders indoors they will go to dark closets, shoes, or attics. The brown recluse is a non-aggressive spider and will only bite when it is disturbed.

Folks traveling on University Drive in north Lancaster saw an unusual sight Friday – an emu out for an afternoon stroll.
Among them was Sharon Novinger, executive director or Lancaster County Partners For Youth.
"I came around a curve and saw this thing beside the road and thought, what is that?" Novinger said. "He was obeying the rules, on the right side of the road, just bebopping along.
"I stopped and thought, what do I do?" she said. "He looked at me and just kept walking."
If all goes according to plan, hard-rock mining could begin at Kershaw's Haile Gold Mine within a month and gold could be produced from the site by the end of the year.
That's the word this week from Haile Gold Mine General Manager David Thomas, who reported this week the project is progressing well and is on schedule to begin pouring gold during the final quarter of 2016.
Lancaster County had 600 volunteer firefighters three decades ago. Today, the number is less than half that.
In the past four years, 184 volunteers have left, and just 147 new ones have joined.
If that trend continues, there's big trouble ahead for taxpayers, worries Darren Player, director of Lancaster County Emergency Management and Fire Rescue.
"We're hanging in there," Player said, "but it's astounding when you look at the numbers."
An orange fireball engulfed a car just a few feet in front of Trevor Jenkins.
He could feel the heat on his face, already dripping sweat from exertion. A 30-pound air pack was strapped to his back, and he wore 45 pounds of protective insulated firefighter turnout gear.
Jenkins jerked back the nozzle lever on the 1.75-inch fire hose he was holding against his right side. He braced his feet as the hose pushed back hard against him. Brent Caldwell stood just behind Jenkins, holding the hose in tandem.
Never take a bathroom break in the middle of a crime.
Two Lancaster women were charged this week with kidnapping and attempted armed robbery after an Indian Land woman said they tried to force her to cash a $3,615 check and give them the money.
Ashley Jeanette Sanders, 21, of 3660 Heyward Hough Road and Lauren Rena Knight, 17, of 684 Taylor Drive, were arrested Tuesday and Wednesday, respectively, according to a Lancaster County Sheriff's Office report.
Law enforcement, trash disposal, and growth management are all potential services Lancaster County could provide to a future town of Van Wyck if the current incorporation process is successful with voters.
A list of those potential services was provided to members of the Incorporate Van Wyck Committee this week, only days after Lancaster County Council unanimously voted March 14 to submit a letter to the group.
When Lancaster County Sheriff Barry Faile and Clerk of Court Jeff Hammond both signed up for reelection on Wednesday, they found themselves in similar situations.
Faile wrote out a check to the S.C. Republican Party for $3,184.80.
"What can you do other than bite your tongue and do it? It's one of those things that you can't control," Faile said.
Hammond shook his head and made a check payable to the S.C. Democratic Party for $2,742.92.
His check amount wasn't as much as Faile's, but it still hurt.
Excited conversations and camera flashes filled the halls outside the Lancaster County Voter Registration and Election Commission office on Wednesday as dozens of supporters watched a long line of candidates file for a slew of local and state offices.
Waiting in that line was Brandon Newton, a Republican candidate seeking to replace four-term Rep. Deborah Long in the S.C. House District 45 seat. With a handful of friends in tow, Newton, 21, arrived prior to the noon opening of filing for the June primary.
John Marion Ghent Jr. was sentenced to 59 years in prison Thursday after jurors found him guilty of murdering his wife in 2013.
Jurors deliberated only an hour before convicting Butch Ghent of stabbing Elaine Ghent to death in their home. Prosecutors said his motive was anger over her plans to leave their 35-year marriage.
Sixth Circuit Court Judge Brian Gibbons sentenced Ghent to 54 years on the murder charge and five years for a weapon charge, to run consecutively. It amounts to a life sentence for the 57-year-old Ghent.
The trial of a Lancaster man accused of stabbing his wife to death in 2013 began Monday and continued Tuesday with harrowing testimony from family members about finding the body.
The first news that something horrible had happened to 54-year-old Elaine Ghent the morning of Oct. 28, 2013, came in the form of a 4 a.m. voice mail left on daughter Tabitha Reynolds' phone.

High school sports: OSSAA director says organization emphasizes fairness, safety
Fairness and safety have always been primary motives of the Oklahoma Secondary School Activities Association, says executive director Ed Sheakley.
He says the organization will continue to highlight those focal points following Friday's release of guidelines by the U.S. Department of Education's Office for Civil Rights clarifying schools' legal obligations to provide equal access to student-athletes with disabilities.
"We understand the value of participation for all of our students, and the value that it adds to their educational experience," Sheakley said. "We're going to work with the Department of Education to enhance the opportunities for all our students, including those with disabilities."
The National Federation of State High School Associations came out in support of the guidelines as well.
Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act grants students with disabilities an equal opportunity to participate in their schools' extracurricular activities. According to the Department of Education's release, a 2010 report by the U.S. Government Accountability Office found that many students with disabilities are not afforded an equal opportunity to participate in athletics, and therefore may not have equitable access to the health and social benefits of athletic participation.
The guidance letter provides examples of the types of reasonable modifications that schools may be required to make to existing policies, practices, or procedures for students with intellectual, developmental, physical or any other type of disability.
Examples of such modifications include:
*The allowance of a visual cue alongside a starter pistol to allow a student with a hearing impairment who is fast enough to qualify for the track team the opportunity to compete.
*The waiver of a rule requiring the "two-hand touch" finish in swim events so that a one-armed swimmer with the requisite ability can participate at swim meets.
The guidelines also note that the law does not require that a student with a disability be allowed to participate in any selective or competitive program offered by a school district, so long as the selection or competition criteria are not discriminatory.
"Participation in extracurricular athletics can be a critical part of a student's overall educational experience," said Seth Galanter, acting assistant secretary for the Office for Civil Rights. "Schools must ensure equal access to that rewarding experience for students with disabilities."
Sheakley said he had been in contact with several directors of other states' high school athletic associations after the guidelines were released nationally early Friday.
Neither Sheakley nor any other directors he spoke with had any prior knowledge that the guidelines were going to be released, and Sheakley is continuing to study the lengthy document sent out by the Department of Education.
But he doesn't see anything that points to drastic changes for the member schools of the OSSAA.
"I think our schools are doing a good job with disabled students and their participation in activities," Sheakley said. "What we look at with disabled students, are reasonable accommodations being made to allow that student to participate, and make sure there's no unfair advantage on either side in those accommodations.
"And we can't compromise safety in those situations. Safety has to be first and foremost. We're all about inclusion, and being able to accommodate disabled students so they can participate."

As readers of Chris McDougall's article on natural running two weeks ago in the New York Times know, the secret of good, injury-free running form is rooted in the past — going barefoot or doing this simple drill called the 100-Up Exercise that was invented in the late 19th century by a very fast miler by the name of W.G. George whose record for the distance — 4:12 — lasted several decades. Chris provided a short instructional video on the Times website to demo the basics– a minor and major exercise. The simplicity is breathtaking. But does the drill actually work? Will it improve your running form? That's what Justin Ownings at Birthday Shoes wants to know. So he started a website called Hundred Up and is seeking volunteers. The site offers more details about the exercise. Clever idea. We hope it pans out.
I developed a problem with my calf training for the Atlanta Marathon. I rand the Marathon and have not run without pain since. At present I've stopped running. I up for anything that will help me run pain free.
McDougall's NY Times video left me feeling that he is a bit of a huckster. He described heel-strike running in an incredibly distorted manner that has no anchor in reality. A heel striker has virtually the same step length as a mid-foot striker, not the comical step that McDougall acts out. It made me wonder what else he exaggerates.
I disagree when I was a heel striker my stride was noticeably longer. my cadence was also slower. My cadence is quicker but with shorter strides now. Some of what anyone says should be looked at with open eyes and a clear mind. Any zelots rhetoric should be scrutinized but sometimes they are right. : )
Hmm, why do those two guys running in the city look like the two slowest runners ever? Seriously, I was waiting for a grandma to stroll past them.
I think people get hurt because they over train. To far, to fast, to soon.
This guy totally exagerates the heel strike of running. Come on now, I can't believe the minds at NYT are drinking this kool-aid!

Daybreak Daily's sit-down session at the VCR finds an awards show that has nothing to do with music videos despite its name, a new head for a crown, other things, and the mystery music video.
MTV MOVIE AWARDS: There are winners but also real winners, per the Los Angeles Times, "The awards handed out by the cable network are generally seen as little more than a coronation of what's popular; indeed, "The Hunger Games" and "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn -- Part 2" were among the big winners Sunday. But the reaction to the many pitches, both at the show and during commercial breaks, can be a useful barometer for the coming months at the multiplex, while the pitches themselves are an important tool for movies seeking an edge in a crowded summer marketplace." http://lat.ms/L1Fszt
WHICH LEADS US TO THIS: The real winner, per Access Hollywood, "Christian Bale had trouble holding back his emotions on Sunday night at the MTV Movie Awards after seeing footage of his late co-star, Heath Legder. The star of "The Dark Knight Rises" appeared with co-stars Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Gary Oldman, where they introduced a series of clips from "Batman Begins" and "The Dark Knight," and after seeing Heath's performance of The Joker in "The Dark Knight," Christian was noticeably choked up. "Man, great to remember Heath in that moment," the actor said, fighting back his tears." http://bit.ly/KXO21R
SCORECARD: The complete list of winners, per The Hollywood Reporter, http://bit.ly/MbwW1F
LITTLE DREW: They grow up fast, per People, "Drew Barrymore and Will Kopelman made a romantic exit from their wedding Saturday, snuggling in the back of an old classic convertible Mercedes (with the top up) that was decorated with blush and hot-pink roses as well as pink ribbons. The newlyweds left the reception, held at the actress's Montecito, Calif., home, at about 1:30 a.m., and spent their first night as husband and wife at a hotel." http://bit.ly/M5tkL3
BIG PLANS: At least she shoots high, per the AP, "The nation's newest Miss USA winner, Olivia Culpo, is a Rhode Island cellist who describes herself as a nerd and aspires to be more like Hollywood icon Audrey Hepburn." http://apne.ws/KXSPQN
GOOD APPLE: Certainly not poisonous, per Deadline Hollywood, "Universal's #1 film Snow White And The Huntsman (3,773 theaters) came in at $20.3M Friday and bumped up to $21.5M Saturday. That makes for $56.1M this domestic weekend. The result is better than expected for the 2D original fantasy actioner that cost $172M and didn't have the benefit of a 3D premium or franchise recognition." http://bit.ly/KERy2w
HEAD-BANGING REVIEW: Of this past weekend's Scion Rock Fest, per the New York Times, "The festival's general scope is metal and beyond, with no particular allegiance to locality or subgenre. But this year, with 26 bands in one night, it went broader than usual, moving into variations of hard-core and noise and industrial music. The Tampa Bay area is fundamentally important to death metal." http://nyti.ms/JGFYQp
NEXT: Merely something else to slay, per indieWIRE, "Charlize Theron is enjoying a particularly high profile at the moment thanks to a couple of big roles in "Prometheus" and "Snow White and the Huntsman." - Now that all of those films have (just about) made their way to theatres and can be judged on their merits, we can now turn our attention to some of her upcoming projects including George Miller's "Mad Max: Fury Road." http://bit.ly/MrEkZH
AN ENDING: But not just yet, per Entertainment Weekly, "Starz is set to announce that the next season of its historical drama Spartacus will mark the show's final outing. The upside: Creator Steven S. DeKnight promises the remaining episodes will be spectacular." http://bit.ly/JGGON8{}
{}ARGUMENT STARTER: Guaranteed, per Rolling Stone, "The RS 500 was assembled by the editors of Rolling Stone, based on the results of two extensive polls. In 2003, Rolling Stone asked a panel of 271 artists, producers, industry executives and journalists to pick the greatest albums of all time. In 2009, we asked a similar group of 100 experts to pick the best albums of the 2000s. From those results, Rolling Stone created this new list of the greatest albums of all time." http://bit.ly/LZhaEe
AND FINALLY: Today's mystery music video. http://n.pr/KXusm6

A species of spiny anteater named after Sir David Attenborough but until now thought to be extinct has been discovered alive by scientists on an expedition to Papua, Indonesia.
The long-beaked echidna, Zaglossus attenboroughi, was known from a single museum specimen dating from 1961 that was found by a Dutch botanist who did not know at the time that it was a new species.
An expedition to the Cyclops mountains of Papua, in western New Guinea, which has not been explored by scientists for 40 years, has found tribes that have recently seen individual animals.
The scientists also found examples of the animal's distinctive burrows and "nose pokes" - holes made as it sticks its long nose into the ground to feed on worms.
No live example of the echidna, which is smaller than other echidnas, has been seen or photographed but Dr Jonathan Baillie of the Zoological Society of London said he was planning to set up "camera traps" on a forthcoming expedition.
The local name given to the species, which is 150 million years old, is "Payangko" and local tribes had seen it as recently as two years ago, according to scientists on the expedition.
Dr Baillie said that the echidna, which is smaller than other echidnas and is thought to always have been rare, had a cultural significance locally. If two families had fallen out, catching an echidna and eating it was meant to bring peace.
Wrongdoers were let off fines for their infractions if they could find an echidna - but this may be an indication of their rarity.
The species was named after Sir David Attenborough, the wildlife film-maker, by Tim Flannery, a biologist who realised that the small specimen that ended up in Leiden natural history museum was an adult, and therefore from a different, dwarf species.
He named it, in 1998, after Sir David "who has contributed greatly to the public appreciation of the New Guinean fauna and flora."
Dr Baillie said: "We hope that Sir David Attenborough will be delighted to hear that his namesake species is still surviving in the Papuan jungle."
The society is planning a further expedition to discover more about the species and to ensure its long-term survival as part of its EDGE programme, which focuses on the world's most evolutionarily distinct and endangered animals.
On being told the echidna was not extinct Sir David told the Daily Telegraph: "I am delighted. I hope I meet one."
Sir David said the specimen was originally spotted by a scientist known to Tim Flannery, in the headdress of a New Guinea warrior.
He said: "They have lots of bird of paradise plumes and a bit of fur. The fur was the crushed skull. Tim collected this and thought it was odd. Eventually he decided it was a new species."
What if Sir David was invited to go to New Guinea to find a specimen? "I think I would go," he replied.
