Judy over at What I Live For shares a fun tutorial for making bottle cap snowman ornaments and we thought it would be a fun holiday project for crafters, young and old!
Supplies You'll Need
The process is uber simple {be sure to check out Judy's blog for the full tutorial}, the only thing young crafters might need help with is corralling their bottle tops in order to glue the ribbon on the back! Use them as classroom decorations or send them home {in student made gift packaging, of course!} as a gift for mom and dad!

i thought this was going to be like those nike play tvc (musical chairs, tag, etc.) but it turned out to be no where near as fun. it's just them jumping around and hiding the whole time. there's no quirks anywhere.
lame. boring and too long.
Arnold Santillan
the battle looks quite orchestrated...
the recruits picked out on their jumping/climbing skills (and probably looks)
i don't believe this as a genuine 'battle'
the camera's are always 'accidental' in the right spot (and angle) when something 'funny' happens (for example the two sun screens).
so: nike-wannabe-ad wanting us to believe this battle to be real...
in my humble opinion...
Yes, everything is so scripted and orchestrated. The camera flashes are always visible (by post production) eventhough the camera doesn't faces us. The clicking is so obvious. Camera angle is all so well planned ahead. It's just like a tvc...a boring one.
I like the campaign. Hasn't really been done for a camera before.
I'm Thai and the translation is a bit off. But the point is clear enough.
Too many cooks in the kitchen....

Better than an emergency blanket
Posted by Christopher W. on 01 08 2016
Unlike an emergency blanket you can actually get inside to stay warm. Much better.
Really versatile product.
Posted by Unknown on 12 27 2013
While there is no reflective coating, this bag is much thicker and stronger than a space bag or blanket. With mild care it can be easily reused.

Northerners thawing out from a bitter freeze may get rewarded with shimmering northern lights the next couple days. U.S. space weather forecaster Joe Kunches said the sun shot out a strong solar flare late Tuesday, which should arrive at Earth early Thursday.

An online magazine for THE LADIES
Liz knows she's a woman because once a month she's reminded of it. She spends her time trying very hard to not speak in Appalachian dialect for fear she may be labeled a hick by someone who isn't. Simultaneously she announces to the world that she has not one, not two, but three mental health diagnoses and is so proud to be labeled as such, she wrote about it (and against stigma) in the Huffington Post blog. She battles the obesity gift she was given by being a Thyroid Cancer survivor (and fan of sweet tea) by swimming laps. She unofficially endorses Zoe for President.

I advised them I had already paid them and have a confirmation number. Then the idiot says to me well we are booked until we get our money. Then to top it off he tried to get me to give him my Credit Card information and told me HALFOFF Depot would never refund my money and if I wanted to redeem the coupon I would have to wait until after Christmas that they were only going to schedule moves for FULL Paying Customers.
I tried to explain that I was told before I bought Coupon I called them and they told me they just needed 48 hour notice and to go ahead and buy coupon. Now I have to hire new movers and and feel like I cannot ever buy anything else from HALFOFF. If they are going to sell services they should research the company first. I feel like I have been scammed by both. NEVER AGAIN!!!! This is one BIG SCAM!!!

The first thing that came to mind was:perl -MXML::Twig -E 'XML::Twig->new( twig_handlers => { _all_ => sub { say $_->xpath } })->parsefile(shift)'

News 12 at 6, October 5, 2007
The U.S. Postal Service is taking big action against one of the biggest scams affecting consumers today: fake check scams.
However, that doesn't mean this too good to be true scam is gone for good.
The Postal Service is taking the fake check scams very seriously. In fact, so far, investigators have made 77 arrests.
And, this isn't just in the U.S.; the Postal Service is calling this a global crackdown.
The eight month investigation has stopped more than $2.1 billion dollars in counterfeit checks bound for the U.S. It has targeted operations in Nigeria, Canada, England and the Netherlands.
There are several different versions of this scam, almost all of which come via email or regular mail. All of them prey upon your greed and despite this crackdown, you still could receive some.
Here are a few examples:
- There is one that claims you've won a foreign lottery or sweepstakes.
- Another one promises easy money for working at home processing checks.
- Then, there's the overpayment; that's the one where someone buys merchandise online and sends you too much money by "mistake" and needs you to send the rest back.
All of them promise free or easy money, but they really just end up stealing from you and eventually can cost you thousands of your own money. Just throw them away or delete them.
And remember, if it's too good to be true, it probably is.

Wrongful termination suit filed against Vt. townThe Associated Press | April 08,2013ST. JOHNSBURY St. Johnsburys former town manager is suing the town claiming he was unlawfully fired after just a week on the job.
Mark Shea, of Winchester, Mass., filed a wrongful termination lawsuit Friday seeking reinstatement as town manager and monetary damages.
Sheas attorney, Stephen Ellis, said the Board of Selectmens March 11 vote to rescind his appointment wasnt legal. Ellis said Vermont law requires cause to fire a town manager, which he says cant be accomplished by rescinding an appointment.
But a town attorney told the Caledonian Record that Shea was never hired in the first place and that theres no contract to support his contention.

Machu Picchu
The spectacular collection of temples, terraced hills and plazas was the mountain-top citadel of the Inca under Pachacutec and Tupac Yupanqui, until the coming of the Europeans with Pizarro.
It may have the most familiar name, but Machu Picchu has refused to reveal many of its mysteries, including the secrets of its construction, function and demise. The overgrown ruins were discovered by US historian Hiram Bingham in 1911, and the quality of the stonework hints that it was an extremely important ceremonial site.
The remains are thought to date from around 1450, built at the height of the Inca Empire, and as they escaped being plundered by the Spanish they include semi-intact icons and shrines that were defaced or removed at other sites.
Entering the site, a set of steps leads to the ruined Temple of the Sun and a series of altars and niches. Highlights include the remains of ceremonial baths, the Sacred Plaza with its tremendous view across the Urubamba River valley, a rare shrine to the sun, and a labyrinth of passageways and cells.
One of the best ways to visit Machu Picchu is on an all-inclusive Day Trip from Cusco, with scenic rail transport, entry and informative guide included.
Practical Info
Buses leave Aguas Calientes every 10 or so minutes from 5:20am, and the last bus back to Aguas Calientes leaves at 5:30pm. Remember to buy your entry ticket to Machu Picchu before you head off - tickets aren't sold at the site, only at the Machu Picchu Cultural Center in Aguas Calientes.
Machu Picchu can also be reached by the legendary four-day Inca Trail, following a majestic route across mountains and valleys. A scenic alternative to the Inca Trail would be the Salkantay trek.

Patients' blood pressure readings are notably higher when they're taken by a doctor than by a nurse, a new study finds. This link between doctors and higher blood pressure readings is known as the "white coat effect," and is believed to be the result of patients being more nervous when examined by a physician.

It's March, it's spring training and Opening Day is just a few sleeps away, so teams are naming their Opening Day starters.
For some teams there is no need to announce who will start Opening Day, such as the Yankees, as CC Sabathia will get the responsibility of the first start for the Yankees.
Some teams have an open competition in spring training, with no real sure-fire candidate to get the nod.
Still other teams assign the role around the time pitchers and catchers report, like the Rangers did with C.J. Wilson.
The Opening Day start is typically awarded to the pitcher with the best season in the previous season or the pitcher with the most skins on the wall.
For the Rangers in years past, to be named the Opening Day starter was usually a rather dubious honor because he would be matched up against a far superior opponent on the mound and was only given the ball on Opening Day for the lack of better options. This chasm of talent on the mound has closed greatly in the previous year or so for the Rangers.
With the naming of C.J. as the Opening Day starter, it got me thinking of who the previous starters were in years past. Was the Opening Day starter the "ace" at the end of the season too, or was someone else more deserving of that title?
That is what I'm chronicling for you here, but with a twist. I'm going to give you the previous five Opening Day starters, how they fared throughout the season, how the Rangers did that season and who was actually the "ace" of the staff in that given year.

Annabel Lee
by Edgar Allan Poe
Annabel Lee Love Quotes
How we cite our quotes: (verse)
Quote #4
Can ever dissever my soul from the soul
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee: (lines 32-33)
The speaker seems to feel like the whole world is trying to destroy his love for Annabel. But he doesn't think anyone can do that, because his soul is linked to hers. The important thing to notice here is all the ways that he emphasizes their love. This isn't just a crush. Want to tell someone you really love them? Maybe you could try telling them that angels and demons could never rip your souls apart. Well, maybe not.
Quote #5
And so, all the night-tide, I lie down by the side
Of my darling--my darling--my life and my bride (line 38-39)
Marriages usually last "until death do us part." Not this one. In fact, this marriage starts after death. We don't hear anything about her being his bride until she's in the tomb, and we think it's safe to say that this isn't the kind of marriage Annabel's rich parents had in mind. The end of this poem turns everything upside down. When she dies, she becomes his "life." We won't push too hard on the "lie down by the side" thing, but the speaker seems to be recreating the marriage he would have had with Annabel if she hadn't died. We're pretty sure that Poe didn't mean for that to seem normal.

Summary: PPR S.A. May 06
- May 2006
- Standard & Poors
The ratings on French diversified and luxury retailer PPR S.A. reflect the leading and wide-ranging positions of the group's core businesses, nonfood retail (66% of 2005 consolidated recurring EBIT) and luxury goods (34%). The primary constraint for the ratings is the group's financial profile, which remains somewhat leveraged. PPR's widely recognized nonfood retail businesses enjoy leading positions in France and principally comprise Conforama home appliances and furnishings; the FNAC book, music, and consumer electronics chain; and mail-order retailer Redcats. The group's Africa-focused automotive, pharmaceuticals, and technology distribution group CFAO also provides recurrent earnings. In luxury retail, the group now fully owns Gucci, which boasts high profitability and very strong brand recognition worldwide. Gucci's recent performances evince the luxury retailer's solid...

I like it, but the only exception I'll make is that the fellow is whispering "no kiddin'" He should be shouting it to the heavens….
Vacation time is such a Congressional burden!
And what's worse are the congress critters that are proud they accept pay to do nothing, except cut food stamps, and tax on the wealthiest that can afford to pay for the Govt services they receive.
Do you despise able bodied people having help while they try to find a good paying job like they had before, in a Depression? That is what happened. But the hate the poor, old and new, is a common current. A vicious kind of talk where certain groups are dehumanized then attacked.
You people voted that foreigner into the highest political office in the world KNOWING he isn't qualified and now that the country is going to hell the 'rich' should have to pay for it. You're all hypocrites.
Another crypto-racist Birther. That just sank whatever credibility you are trying to garner.
Be kind to poor Chirp. He's so troubled about what's "fair" and what people "deserve" that he can only communicate in rants and screeds.
"…I don't hate anyone but…"
Wow. Talk about mixed signals.
"You people" being the American people? You must be an America-hating foreigner yourself. And therefore of no interest to real Americans.
Chirpman has made me feel SO incredibly guilty that I am giving back ALL of my SocSec income and going back to work. In fact, there was a brief time in my working career that I drew unemployment. I'm refunding that as well. Oh, and when I injured my back on the job I got a bit of Worker's Compensation. Giving that back as well, even if it's mostly private sector funds. If I can find out how much the med bills were, i'll remit that, too. Man, I feel SO much better now that I'm not a worthless freeloader…..
One of the rightest-wing people I know is on "disability", and another can't wait to move to a country with real socialized medicine. Irony, thy name is republican.
It's all about the "deserving right-thinkers" (i.e. conservagogues) getting their goodies and the "undeserving idiots" (the rest of us) getting nothing.
Hey! Chirp's two rants went away!

Second-generation trials (postifosfamide)
Subsequent chemotherapy trials were performed using anthracycline and ifosfamide combinations in patients who primarily had extremity or truncal soft tissue sarcomas. The data are conflicting, and the issue is still not settled. In a small feasibility study, 59 patients with high-risk soft tissue sarcomas, 58 of whom had an extremity or trunk as the primary site, underwent primary resection plus PORT and were randomly assigned to observation versus a dose-dense regimen of six 14-day courses of ifosfamide, dacarbazine (DTIC), and doxorubicin (IFADIC regimen) with granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) bone marrow support and mesna uroprotection.[28] There were no statistically significant differences in OS or relapse-free survival (RFS), but the study was severely underpowered.
In a second trial performed by the Italian National Council for Research, high-risk patients were treated with local therapy (i.e., wide resection plus preRX or PORT, or amputation as clinically necessary) and were then randomly assigned to observation versus five 21-day cycles of 4-epidoxorubicin (epirubicin) plus ifosfamide (with mesna and G-CSF).[25,29] Based on power calculations, the planned study size was 190 patients, but the trial was stopped after 104 patients had been entered because an interim analysis revealed a statistically significant (P = .001) difference in DFS favoring the chemotherapy arm. By the time of the initial peer-reviewed report of the study, the DFS still favored the chemotherapy group (median DFS of 48 months vs. 16 months), but the P value had risen to .04.[25]
Although there was no difference in metastasis-free survival at the time of the report, there was an improvement in median OS (75 months vs. 46 months, P = .03). However, at the follow-up report (at a median of 89.6 months in a range of 56-119 months), OS differences were no longer statistically significant (58.5% vs. 43.1% [P = .07]). The DFS difference had also lost statistical significance (47.2% vs. 16.0% [P = .09).[29] In summary, the trial was underpowered because it was stopped early, and the early promising results that led to stopping the trial diminished as the trial matured.

I installed Jetpack today, and have a couple of problems.
1. On the Publicize Page, I am not able to check the boxes for "Show Buttons On" checkboxes. Each time I save the changes, the boxes still are unchecked.
2. The second issue is with Facebook and Twitter login for comments. That feature also doesn't seem to be working, although I have activated it.
I have attached the Facebook and Twitter logins, and dragged the required boxes into the "Enabled Services" area.
I am using Jetpack 2.4.2
Would be great if you can suggest a solution. My site is still under development. The link to it is: http://infektion.in

I posted a similar message about Park West...you may want to read that one first.
Briefly, I went on a RC cruise last week and purchased art onboard from a company called Park West. The auctioneer told us time and time again that one particular piece was worth $700 to $1000 on land. We purchased it for $270. I looked it up on the internet and found it actually sells for $285 on land...this is the ripoff.
I made an honest attempt to inform RC of the rat (Park West) that is on board all of their ships. You would think that they would want to know if one of the companies on board is ripping off their patrons, right? Wrong.
I called the RC customer service people and spoke with Debra and Sandy. Debra told me to call Park West. When I called Park West, the lady said she "...didn't understand why they would say that work is worth $700 to $1000" Basically, calling Park West is not going to get anything done. It's like telling a thief he/she is a thief. If you tell the police, now the thief should be scared.
Debra then informed me that I should call Starboard, which is the company that handles on board purchases. I spoke with 2 people from Starboard (Ruby and Cara) who told me that they don't handle the auctions and that I need to contact Onboard Media. I called OM, but there was no answer (surprise).
I then called RC again, and got a hold of Sandy. After explaining the whole story again, she said I should call Park West, which I already did. I was not allowed to file a complaint with RC via the phone, but can only do so via U.S. mail (kinda fishy, eh?). I'm sure they'll kindly take compliments, but not complaints. I was then put on hold for the ump-teenth time, and Sandy came back with a contact at Park West that I should call. *insert thief analogy here*
What this all tells me is that Park West Gallery is a ripoff, and Royal Caribbean doesn't care. After all, it's all about the money!

I'm running WordPress 3.3.1 on my own hosted website. I'm a novice to all this, so I don't write code or anything! But I do use the php client FileZilla, so I'm not too bad. ;) My website home address (www.alisonnidhorchaidhe.com)has a flash page, then has the root /blog, which is run on WordPress. I had been using Blogger a my blog platform, so I imported the blogs on there to bring them on to WordPress.
Because time allowed for it, I spent yesterday working on the blog part of the site. I bought a new theme -- ColorWay Theme Pro 2.1.7 by InkThemes.com -- and used the theme options to add links to the blog homepage. Everything was looking and working great. It must be one of the following actions that has led the permalinks for my blog posts to become broken:
I created a new page under the title "Blog", and changed the permalink to direct the page to http://alisonnidhorchaidhe.com/blog/index.php/2012/02/. But I remember going into this, and the blogs worked fine.
When I had imported my blog posts from Blogger, the tags became part of the "Categories" section on WordPress; so I used the Categories to Tags Converter Importer plugin to fix this. I then created a three categories, "poetry", "filíocht" and "bàrdachd" (poetry in Irish and Scottish Gaelic), and put my different language poems into these categories. I created another page ("Poetry"), and had hoped to create drop-down menu options under this parent page for the other two language. Again, when I created these wee pages, I changed the permalink to the link to their category page. This didn't work out as planned, so I just deleted the "Poetry" page and its menu options.
Then I created a "Gallery" and a "Contact" page, as per the instructions that came with the theme package. The "Gallery" page seems to be misbehaving, but I'm not too bothered about that for now.
It was at this stage that I noticed that I was getting the 500 Internal Server Error when I went into my blog posts. I thought it was just being tempermental after all the work, and that it would sort itself out. But no, the problem is still there today. I've been researching and trying out different things all afternoon, like changing the blog permalinks back to default, but I can't figure it out. I even contacted my host provider, and they said it was my permalinks that were broken, and that needed to be fixed within WordPress. I've been seeing folk talking about the htaccess file, but I've no idea what that is or how to get to it.
Sorry for my lengthy post, but I figured it was best to fill you in on what I was up to in order to diagnose the problem! ;)


text: The more you go pro with your blog the more important is it that people find your posts and articles. The calendar and the usual archive are not user friendly. I am looking forward to someone who writes a plugin that lists posts and articles by tags. You would, of course, need to tag every post in order to use this.

Forgot the Aint's coach name...Can't stand that guy though !
He borrow's BW's tapes from the 9ers and doesn't return them until Harbaugh gets them back (then he blitz's the fk on us in spite in the preseason)
He uses BW's tactics as being the bell hop on the road at the hotel they stayed in for the super bowl !
He even had the balls to have Ronnie Lott give them a motivational speech before last years Monday night game against us in our own house !!!!!
Bring on the Saints !!!

My vote is Atlanta.
The Saints pose 2 big problems: their dangerous passing attack, and their heavy-blitzing defense.
The passing attack may be slowed down at the Stick, but our OL will still have to deal with their blitzes.
I actually prefer to play the Packers (or any other NFC team in the playoffs).
