La Familia Bakery in San Antonio is recalling all of its packaged products because some of them contain nuts, milk and other allergens that are not listed on the packages.
Texas Department of State Health Services officials believe that product distribution was limited to convenience stores in the San Antonio, Pearsall and Devine areas.
The recalled products include cookies and Mexican sweet bread, or pan dulce. They are sold in clear, twist-tied, plastic bags that contain the company name.
Standard ingredients labeling on the product packages indicates that the products contain water, flour, sugar, cinnamon and shortening. But DSHS officials said some of the product labels should have listed pecans or other nuts, milk, eggs, wheat, soy and FD&C Yellow #5, a food coloring.
Anyone who has one of the recalled products should not consume it if they are allergic to any of these ingredients.
Federal and state food manufacturing regulations require that food product labels include the product name, the company's name and address, the net weight, an ingredients listing and the source of major allergens.

Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt have already had a casual, spur-of-the moment wedding in Mexico – but their weekend celebration in California will be more traditional.
The night before the ceremony, which will take place on Saturday afternoon at the Westminster Presbyterian Church in Pasadena, Calif., the couple will hold a rehearsal dinner at Wolfgang Puck's Beverly Hills hotspot, Cut, a source tells PEOPLE.
It's a far cry from their Mexican wedding last November, which Pratt described at the time as having "margaritas, sunsets and beautiful settings" – but no friends or family. This time around, people close to the couple will be flying in to attend the festivities, say sources.
But it won't be all play for the reality star couple. The day before the
wedding, Montag, 22, and Pratt, 25, will be part of an NBC press day at the Langham, Huntington Hotel & Spa for the network's summer shows. The pair have joined the cast of I'm a Celebrity ... Get Me out of Here! The reality series, set in the jungles of Costa Rica, will premiere June 1 and the full cast will be unveiled Friday. Among the names circulating are Duane "Dog the Bounty Hunter" Chapman and Idol's Sanjaya Malakar.

Cash Flow Is a Fact: Net Income Is Just an Opinion
Pablo Fernandez
University of Navarra - IESE Business School
November 17, 2015
La versión española de este artículo se puede encontrar en: http://ssrn.com/abstract=1182255.
We use three different definitions of cash flow: equity cash flow (ECF), free cash flow (FCF) and capital cash flow (CCF). We also answer to the question: When net income is equal to the equity cash flow? When making projections, dividends and other payments to shareholders forecasted must be exactly equal to expected equity cash flows.
May a company have positive net income and negative cash flows? Of course: one has only to think of the many companies that file for voluntary reorganization after having a positive net income. This is precisely what happens to the company AlphaCommerce that we show as an example.
A company's net income is a quite arbitrary figure obtained after assuming certain accounting hypotheses regarding expenses and revenues (one of several that can be obtained, depending on the criteria applied). However, the ex-post cash flow is an objective measure, a single figure that is not subject to any personal criterion.

LESSON 3. Describing Objects: Attention to Details
Grade Level: 7
2. Overview The study of science helps us to be good observers of things in our surroundings. Every day we see things around us and whenever we want to tell other people about what we observe, we try to describe. It is an important part of science to describe things. Our ability to describe things will depend on whether we are able to give a correct picture of those things.
3. Purpose The purpose of this unit is to teach children how to describe things using some basic science words. It is important that we learn how to describe objects, people and scenes accurately.
4. Objectives Students will be able to:
i. Describe things in terms of their size
5. Resources/materials A collection of common things available in the students' environment.
6. Activities and Procedures Describing objects is one way of communicating information. By and large, descriptions begin from the general to the specific, from qualitative description to quantitative. To be able to describe things properly, a good observation would have been made and that observation would have to be translated to communicable language. Communicating as a process skill can be done in different ways.
The students should therefore be encouraged to start descriptions first from the general. "My house is far from the school". In a way that statement conveys some meaning. But when a description involves comparison of more than one thing, that description can usually be faulted. Now let two students make the statement about their house relative to the school. The teacher should let the students see the problem with qualitative description by considering other examples that involve comparison. Adamu may be described as a tall boy but relative to other students in the class, he may not really be described as tall if all the other students are taller than Adamu.
The transition from qualitative description to more specific quantitative description will call for use of certain words to represent size, colour, smell, taste and texture. The teacher should encourage the students to look for appropriate vocabulary. The use of known standards of quantities will have to be introduced. How far is far can be answered by referring to a specific measure-10 kilometres, for instance.
Objects that have been collected should now be displayed before the students and then they should be asked to make accurate description. That part of the lesson should generate a lot of discussion among the students. Any time there is controversy, the teacher should be prepared to be the judge.
Previous experience can influence the description of certain objects. In the area of smell and taste, reference will often be made to a previous experience. " It smells like rotten egg" or "It tastes like sugar". These forms of description are accepted.
7. Tying it all together Descriptions could either be qualitative or quantitative. Both convey meanings but one is more precise than the other especially if comparison is involved. One area which can be a bit troublesome for African students is the limitation in local dialects for describing for instance "colours". Shades of colours especially secondary colours may be troublesome. When such problems arise, teachers are advised to display a colour chart in the classroom.
8. Assessment Assessment of the descriptions of the student can very often be cross checked with that of the teacher. Students should also be encouraged to act as judges of the descriptions of their colleagues.

Dorena Dam
Construction of Dorena Dam.
Courtesy of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
Dorena Dam is located on the Row River, a tributary of the Coast Fork of the Willamette and a transportation corridor for the Bohemia mining district. A railroad built at the turn of the century connected the small town of Dorena, Oregon, to the larger region and provided the means for moving timber to market. World War II interupted the construction of Dorena Dam when all non-essential projects were put on hold. The Corps finally completed the project in 1949 after they relocated the approximately one hundred homes of Dorena. Unlike Hebron, the town of Dorena survives to this day at its new location.

Stop the bells, lock the chapel. Distract the first-years with a free Keystone. Silence that kid who won't stop playing piano in Gorecki, and with moist eyes, bring out my college coffin.
If you came here looking for advice, I advise you to read the damn horoscopes. I don't really have any advice, and I don't know why only one staircase in the Quad goes to the fourth floor and the other stops at floor two. Maybe it was a hint that man wasn't meant to climb four flights of stairs.
What I do know is that one of the best things I ever did while going here was deciding to sign up for an account at garyspizza.com. Currently I am 12 points away from finally getting a free large pepperoni, jalapeño, no onions pizza. Like the expression goes, "Shoot for the moon because even if you miss, you'll land hopefully in a warm, greasy slice of Gary's pizza."
As for being scared about entering the real world, one of my professors pointed out that we all are already in the real word since we could die or fall in love tomorrow. I don't really have time to worry about what that means; I'm more focused on trying to get a fair deal on how much rent is per month if I choose to live in Stickworks next fall. Some sophomore stuck in Tommy Hall is trying out bid me, but the squirrel population has some questions about his character.
Before I go and live with the sticks there is something I would like to say. Whether you are first-years and are excited to no longer be on the bottom of the rung, or if you're a sophomore looking forward to Flynntown, or a junior psyched you don't have to read my columns anymore, I just want say from the bottom of my heart (in all sincerity, from the bottom of my liver) you guys walk too slow. I'm serious. I don't know what I have wasted more time doing, deleting Bulletin Board emails or getting slowed down heading to class by slow walkers.
I would be amiss though if I didn't mention how we lost a legend of a musician this past week, George Jones, the possum, and writer of what some say to be the greatest country song ever written. I think he said it best in one of his songs when he said, "When you're ugly like us, you just naturally got to be cool." Words I live by.

Ranula is a soft cystic tumor in the floor of the mouth, unilateral at first, but later, as the cyst enlarges, perhaps passing beyond the median line. The name "ranula" is only descriptive of appearance, having no significance otherwise.
Formerly ranula was, and is at present by some, supposed to be a cyst containing pent-up salivary gland secretions from stenosis of Wharton's or Rivini's ducts, as a result of inflammation in some part of the duct or its meatus; or from occlusion of the duct by an accumulation of salivary calculus.
Bland Sutton says: "There is at the present time a strong tendency to restrict the name 'ranula' to cysts arising in connection with ducts of the three sets of salivary glands opening into the mouth, and to designate them as submaxillary, sublingual and parotid ranuhe according to the gland affected." Continuing, he says: "In the majority of cases ranulæ

Negotiations resume Monday in Vienna, Austria over Iran's nuclear program.
Representatives from the U.S., France, Russia, and the U.N. nuclear agency will meet with Iranian officials to nail down details of a proposal that could see Iran send its enriched uranium to Russia.
Exporting most of its enriched uranium could keep Iran from having enough material to make a nuclear bomb.
Later this month, the Islamic republic will allow U.N. Inspectors from the International Atomic Energy Agency to examine their uranium enrichment facility under construction near the city of Qom. It is the same nuclear plant that President Obama,French President Nicolas Sarkozy and British Prime Minister Gordon Brown announced to the world, just days after being notified by Iran of the facility.
Some believe that Iran's new willingness to negotiate may come from pressure being applied by the Russians.
"This time, it seems to me they are moving a bit to suggest to Tehran that Russia should not be taken for granted or ignored when it comes to meeting what Russia also says are legitimate expectations about Iranian behavior," said James Collins, a former U.S. ambassador to Russia.
But, he said, the "administration probably overplayed their hand" in that the Russians' patience for negotiating with the Iranians could stretch far beyond that of Washington.

Monday is date of record. The Chambers effect is gone. This is very oversold.
just a reminder. Will we see a massive 'short squeeze'??
there could be buying into the close
He said what he always says. 'The future is uncertain'. Not the words of a strong CEO.
So there could be some buying. After Chambers killed it.
Even the major analysts are laughing at Chambers and printing articles about how every time he speaks the shares fall. Historically, they always come back the next day.
Now that Chambers has spoken.
You get a buying opportunity. The market just doesn't like that #$%$.
uh oh ......
It doesn't fit with Arab relations.
Samsung announced new products. They are amazing. They make Apple look like garbage.
after they downgraded it... haha What a group of slime.
anything can happen.
I don't think so.....
Yeah Baby !!!!
There are medicines that can help with your psychosis.....
Was his last recommendation to BUY Bethlehem Steel?
It's all over for this one.

KDE Project Offers Kolab Groupware Services to its Contributors
At the Dutch KDE-PIM meeting in Annahoeve last weekend it was announced that the KDE project will offer groupware services to all KDE contributors using the Free Software groupware server Kolab2. This means that every KDE project or contributor can get a Kolab2 account for sharing tasks, appointments, contacts and email. Every project can manage their own groupware services and decide with which users they want to share these resources. The Kolab2 server will run under the kdemail.net domain and will be administered by the KDE project.
Kolab2 is a very robust groupware solution, capable of handling large scale installations. It is tightly integrated with Kontact, the PIM suite from KDE. Currently Kolab2 offers an excellent Free Software solution for providing groupware services to the GNU/Linux and Unix desktop and even to the Windows desktop through the use of the Toltec plugin.
KDE contributors who are interested in having such an account can send an email to kdemail signup. The bandwith and hardware is donated by Fruitsalad, a community that provides hosting and other services to the KDE and Kolab community.
The real question
I wonder if this will pass the Jamie Zawinski test?
By Derek Kite at Tue, 2005/05/31 - 5:00am
Re: The real question
I know that this Jamie guy is one of the "I-know-better-than-anybody-else"-folks.
But I don't know what the Jamie Zawinski test is. Care to enlighten me, Derek?
Re: The real question

His blog is/was the first item.
By Derek Kite at Wed, 2005/06/01 - 5:00am
Good news
That's great.
Its a pity that installing Kolab is so difficutl/strange. I've been desiring to try it since I started to actively use kaddressbook and korganizer, but my email accounts don't support sieve, so I'm still using local files and POP accounts.
I hope in the future we can see tarballs of Kolab, and more easy to install/package, instead of that strange openpkg and RPMs.
By suy at Tue, 2005/05/31 - 5:00am
Re: Good news
I agree on the point about source tarballs, minus the rpm stuff. Unless I am mistaken (it does happen :) ), doesn't the source tarballs have to be created to make the RPMS?
As it is, it tends to either leave the source distros out in the cold or jump through a bunch of hoops just to extract the source from the rpms.
By stumbles at Tue, 2005/05/31 - 5:00am
Re: Good news
I don't understand. I've found the Kolab setup very clean and easy: one script to launch, a few questions to answer. What strange with that?
By andrianarivony at Tue, 2005/05/31 - 5:00am
Re: Good news
i guess it's somewhat strange to have two packaging systems side-by-side, one deb and rpm. and for most (like me) rpm isn't part of their daily work, so they have to learn that, too. it's easy, no big difference, just an other db structure, but it's a psychological barrier.
By Andy at Wed, 2005/06/01 - 5:00am
Re: Good news
There exist more than two systems package systems: "gg:site:distrowatch.com package management -rpm -deb -src"
Re: Good news
See KDE for example. You can compile the sources, and install them wherever you like. I have KDE installed both from the standard packages of my distribution, and from source, under ~/kde/local (so they don't collide one with the other).
KDE is very easy to package (at least, applications). If you take a look at
You'll see RPMs... for Debian!
I want just a tarball with some source, and some user defined prefix for installation. The README says that the installation is going to /kolab, instead of following the FHS. Also, have in mind that you need patched versions of some applications. This is pretty ugly for packaging purposes. Why I need to download again apache?
By suy at Wed, 2005/06/01 - 5:00am
Re: Good news
just for completeness:
The prefix is arbitrary in Kolab 2. So you may for example set it to /usr/local/kolab or /opt/kolab if you happen to prefer these paths.
By Martin Konold at Thu, 2005/06/02 - 5:00am
I wonder, does this implementation include the experimental webclient (based on Horde)? I want to migrate from Exchange 2000, but would prefer an easier installation method, and a working webclient.
By Philip Cain at Tue, 2005/05/31 - 5:00am
Re: Webclient?
I think you can consider that the webclient is no longer in an experimental status.
The Kolab webpage has to be refreshed cause I use it in a production environment for one month (with a Kolab server of course) ... :)
By Mike at Tue, 2005/05/31 - 5:00am
Re: Webclient?
That's good news. Now if we could just get an easy installer. Heck, I don't care if was ncurses on the CLI, just something more than editing conf files and reading man pages. (Of course, it may well have improved since the last time I tried it - downloading now!)
By Philip Cain at Tue, 2005/05/31 - 5:00am
Re: Webclient?
if you follow the instructions to a T, you can get away with running two scripts (and waiting quite a few hours, depending on the speed of your machine) to have a working kolab2 server.
i made the initial mistake of using a non-FQDN for the server which led to me blowing away the install and starting again, though a /kolab/etc/kolab/kolab_bootstrap would've also done the trick it turns out (as i found out later on when i was screwing around with the configurations)

When will a Kolab2 interview appear?
Hey, after all these awesome KDEPim interviews -- wouldn't it be in order to publish some interviews with Kolab2 developers, administrators and users too?
I want, I want, I want....

Re: When will a Kolab2 interview appear?
> Already again?
> Just had it four months ago: http://dot.kde.org/1106909457/
Didn't we have multiple KDEPim interviews? Each of which covered anther person involved with the project, and another perspective?
Same should happen for Kolab2. Now that it will soon be released. After all, it is not hype -- it is a very well working solution, and it scales to many thousand of users. Unlike Hula. Hula currently is not more than vaporware. However, I read more about Hula on various news sites than on Kolab2. That must change.
Re: When will a Kolab2 interview appear?
There will likely/hopefully be some press about the Kolab2 release but that's up to the Kolab people (and you?) and not the KDE developers.

CBNNews.com - Arun Gandhi, grandson of Mohandas (Mahatma) Gandhi, resigned as head of the Gandhi Institute for Nonviolence, headquartered at the University of Rochester.
His resignation followed reaction to January 7 blog posted on the Washington Post Web site in which he accused Jews of overplaying the Holocaust and said "Israel and the Jews are the biggest players [in a] culture of violence [that] is eventually going to destroy humanity."
"My intention was to generate a healthy discussion on the proliferation of violence," Gandhi explained, following the institute's acceptance of his resignation.
"Instead, unintentionally, my words have resulted in pain, anger, confusion and embarrassment. I deeply regret these consequences," he said, restating his regret for the consequences, rather than the content of his remarks.
In a subsequent blog, Gandhi further clarified his perceptions.
"[I do] not believe and should not have implied that the policies of the Israeli government are reflective of all Jewish people," he wrote.
Arun Gandhi's anti-Israel stance is nothing new.
During a 2004 visit to the Jewish state, he called for Palestinians in Jordan to come to Israel by the "tens of thousands" for a "nonviolent" protest.
Gandhi also called the Palestinians' situation in Israel "ten times worse" than South African's black population suffered under apartheid.
Joel Seligman, president of the University of Rochester, said Gandhi's resignation was "appropriate" because his remarks "did not reflect the core values" of the university or the institute.
Abe Foxman, head of the Anti-Defamation League (ADL), called Mahatma Gandhi's grandson a bigot.
"[It's] shameful that a peace institute would be headed up by a bigot," Foxman said. "One would hope that the grandson of such an illustrious human being would be more sensitive to Jewish history."

Intel and Wind River: Linux-Based Infotainment for Automobiles
Hardware specialist Intel and embedded systems manufacturer Wind River are aiming to put Linux on wheels. Both enterprises have announced their intention to release a jointly developed Linux platform for the automotive industry.
Intel will be providing the hardware, with the software coming from Wind River. The two will provide in vehicle infotainment in future based on Intel's new MID platform known as the "Open Infotainment Platform" (OIP). OIP will include the full TCP/IP stack and use Wimax to connect to the World Wide Web. At the same time, it will be fully compatible to MID class devices. Developments will be coordinated at Moblin.org where the developers of the Moblin MID stack have exchanged ideas previously.
Wind River is also planning a commercial Linux environment called "Wind River Linux Platform for Infotainment", which will provide uniform support to solutions such as navigation devices, MP3 players or cellphone hands-free equipment. Numerous third party applications will extend the software package with plans including voice detection and recognition solutions by Nuance Communications, echo and noise suppression for Bluetooth by Parrot and music management by Gracenote.
The new Open Source platform will be closely geared to the requirements of the automotive industry. The use of state-of-art standards such as Media-Oriented Systems Transport (MOST) and the CAN Bus (Controller Area Network) guarantee this. Device development will focus on extremely short boot times and fast initialization. Easy integration of mobile entertainment devices such as Apple's iPod will also play an important role.
Besides Intel and Wind River, the new open platform is also supported by vehicle manufacturers and automotive suppliers Bosch, BMW and Magneti Marelli. The new developments are likely to become available in the third quarter of this year. For mor information on the platform and the In-Vehicle Infotainment Community surf to Moblin.org.

A woman looking for a furry companion eschewed the pet store for a dumpster.
But her decision came back to bite her -- literally.
The woman told police she caught a white rat outside the trash area at Washington School but the little critter chomped down on her finger.
She then showed the rat to her 7-year-old child and 26-year-old neighbor, both of whom the rat promptly bit.
All three went to the hospital and the rat was taken for rabies testing.
Some free advice, try Petsmart next time.

Pandora bracelets—you've heard of 'em, right? They're pricey charm bracelets sold in jewelry stores all over the world. Pandora offers interchangeable pieces and a multitude of charms and beads to go on the bracelets. It's big business.
While it's not really my thing—my taste doesn't extend beyond plastic costume jewelry—it's nice to have an easy gift to buy for my family members who do enjoy collecting the charms. Pandora has a bead for everything. You can buy them to commemorate events and symbolize vacations, people, or activities. For a limited time, you can even buy a Black Friday charm that looks like a little gift box.
Andy and I saw a Pandora commercial last night, and it made us laugh. It's so cheesy—please enjoy: Jared Galleria of Jewelry commercial for Pandora on iSpot.tv. The fact that they blush over the Red Hot Love bead made us crack up. It was late, and I was under the influence of cold medicine, but still.
The beads and charm choices are designed with the blushing suburban lady in mind. If you are that woman, Pandora wants you to "express your personal style." But how can Pandora executives judge what women want? And Pandora likes to push the limits to find new best sellers, so they put riskier charm choices in select test markets to see how they perform.
But sometimes women reject these test market charms, and family members are too scared to buy them as gifts because they might not be well received. Believe it or not, there have been charms on the market that were potentially more embarrassing than the Red Hot Love bead, and some were simply depressing.
Here's a list of Pandora charms that were such poor sellers they were immediately removed from shelves, never to be spoken of again. And now, Tall Curly Biscuit presents…
Pandora Bombs
- Stomach Flu Weekend 2012 Charm with flecks of viral matter suspended in amber
- The Nagging Charm in sterling silver
- Serpent Cult Charm in silver-plated lead
- Wealthy Industrialist "I once laid off 500 workers" Bead in 14k gold
- Television Viewing Charm with abstract gold design
- Teenage Pregnancy Charm with enamel umbilical cord, baby, and school bag
- North Korea Charm in matte gray with uranium
- 5000th Load of Laundry Charm with cubic zirconium chips
- Anal Sex Charm in murano glass
- The Hider Bead for storing small amounts of cocaine in a non-reactive murano glass screwtop
- Second Cousin Once Removed Family Love Charm with red enamel heart
- Low Cholesterol Achievement Bead in wood
Rumor has it that a few Pandora marketing folks will be fired over some of these bead decisions for what the company says was "a total lack of judgment with regard to our target market."
Did you discover any other Pandora Bombs before they were yanked from the shelves?
*Thanks to Andy who came up with all of these while I rolled on the floor laughing. ♥

Home › Academics & Activities › Academic Skills
Ask the Experts
By Debra Collins, Family therapist
My son is in fifth grade, and he still reverses some of his numbers. He doesn't reverse his b's and d's like he used to, but he still writes his 4s, 5s and 6s backward about 50% of the time. This doesn't seem to impede his ability to do math, but it worries me.
I've had him tested by the school psychologist for learning disabilities. She said he tested in the normal range, so he doesn't qualify for special services.
Is there anything further that I can do? Or should I just be patient and see if the reversals go away.
I think you have a valid concern and you did the right thing by having him tested. He'll be in middle school next year and you want to make sure he's getting what he needs to make that next big step.
If you already met with the school psychologist and he or she went over the results with you, I would check in with the learning resources specialist at your school (special education teacher). Have the specialist have him look at his test results. His impairment may not qualify for special services, but the specialist teacher should have a good sense of what exercises, if any, may help him. In some schools the specialist or special education teacher will meet only with special education students and parents, so you may want to speak with your principal first.
Because his b's and d's straightened out, and he can perform math skills, the specialist may likely tell you your son will correct the reversals on his own, but it never hurts to get more information and support. If you want a second opinion, your pediatrician may have private evaluation referrals for you.

Due to its varietal characteristics, it is an ideal wine to accompany all types of fatty or medium spiced meats, such as beef or pork ribs in simple preparations, as well as cold cuts and medium-high flavored preparations.
As the technology continues to advance in the vineyards and in the wineries around the world, Cousiño Macul has seized this opportunity and taken a grand leap into the future. Although moving quickly into the future, they take with them the most important part of their long history - their genetic plant material that was originally brought into Chile in 1863. The Cousiño's vineyard and winery in Macul became the proudest achievement of the family. The new vineyard and winery in Buin are now in the hands of the sixth generation.

EU gender ruling 'will hit insurance for women drivers'
Published 02/03/2011
There have been warnings of a sharp rise in uninsured drivers on the roads after a landmark ruling means insurance providers can no longer use gender to calculate risk.
The European Court of Justice yesterday ruled men and women can't be given different insurance premiums because of their sex in a case brought by a Belgian consumer group fighting for gender equality.
The decision is likely to affect car insurance, where women currently benefit from lower premiums, and pension annuity, where men receive a larger annual pension.
The move was widely condemned yesterday with some commentators saying it was taking equality rights too far and would only serve to increase insurance premiums "across the board" when the ruling comes into force in December 2012.
Among the warnings were:
- An increase of uninsured drivers taking to the roads because they can't afford the more expensive premiums.
- Low risk drivers subsidising their higher risk counterparts.
- A 25% increase on insurance premiums for young women drivers.
- A 5% drop in pension annuity rates for men.
Neil Greig, director of policy and research at the Institute of Advanced Motorists, said an "unintended consequence" of the decision would be a likely increase in uninsured drivers.
"There is a growing problem of uninsured drivers out there in general — most of them men. If we start to get women being faced with huge premiums some of them will be tempted to drive without insurance too," he said.
Malcolm Tarling, from the Association of British Insurers, said it was "disappointed" with the decision. "Across the board, it's UK customers who are likely to lose out because of this," he said.
My View
Angela Marley (33), from Glenavy, Co Antrim
"This is totally unfair — women are more careful when on the roads than men, and women are not as hard on their motors as men. I believe women are safer drivers; you are less likely to find a female drink or drug driving. They do not deserve to have to pay the same premiums as men."

LEWISTOWN - Even in defeat, small victories could be found. Such was the case Tuesday afternoon as a new era started for the Mifflin County girls soccer team when it went head-to-head with Central Dauphin East in its first appearance as a member of the Mid-Penn Conference's Commonwealth Division.
It was also the debut of new coach Steven DeArment.
Though the Huskies fell 4-0 in the contest, the young team from Mifflin County led in all the other categories.

Mifflin County's Haley Predix (13) sends the ball upfield past Central Dauphin East's Kerri Kuntz (8) Tuesday in Lewistown.
Also, the Huskies tightened their defense in the second half, holding the speedy Panther team to just a lone goal after giving up three in the first half.
Mifflin County outshot the Panthers 24-18 while also taking the advantage in the corners shot opportunities by a 6-1 margin.
"It's the first game of the season. I thought we were super nervous. We just didn't look like ourselves the first 20 minutes. We gave them an early lead and we weren't able to come back," DeArment said. "But we had a lot of positives. I thought Halle Fisher did a nice job in goal. I thought offensively we looked good - we created a lot of chances. The goals will come when you get chances like that."
Two big factors kept the Huskies from the victory.
Central Dauphin East keeper Sami Goodyear had a great night in the net as she snagged numerous Husky shots that robbed the young players from goals.
The other came from the foot of forward Paris Winston. Winston seemed to be at the right place at the right time, finishing with a hat trick.
However, the play of the night came from the hands of Mifflin County keeper Fisher.
With 22:21 showing on the second period clock, the Huskies were called for a penalty kick. Central Dauphin East brought heavy hitter Lindsey D'Agostino to the ball.
The two stared each other down as D'Agostino went for the kick. Fisher's eyes went right to the ball and stopped her shot cold.
In the first half, the Huskies got the ball to start things off but quickly saw the ball and the possession go into their defensive end.
After taking the first shots of the game, Central Dauphin East went back on defense where it had two shots sent Goodyear's way.
The Panthers drew first blood eight minutes in when Winston picked up her first goal, sailing it past the Mifflin County defense, making it 1-0.
On the following possession, the Huskies had a chance to tie the game, pushing the ball down the field, but a shot by Alexis Kibe sailed just over the top of the bar.
Both teams were playing both sides of the ball very aggressively but the veteran Central Dauphin East offense found a crack in the Mifflin County defense.
At the 25-minute mark of the first half, the Panthers upped their lead to 2-0. D'Agostino sent one to the upper corner of the goal to extend the lead.
Minutes later, Winston put the Huskies in a difficult position when she picked up goal No. 2 midway through the half.
But both defenses stiffened and the game went into the intermission at 3-0.
Mifflin County's defense made the right adjustments at the half to give the Panther offense fits the rest of the way.
However, the Panthers' defense made it hard as well, packing the back third and making it harder for the Huskies to get an open look at the net.
Winston got one last shot at the scoreboard when she lit one up on a breakaway, ending the game scoring at 4-0.
"We are a pretty young team and we'll keep working at it and we'll get there," DeArment said.
Mifflin County (0-1, 0-1) travels to Cumberland Valley Thursday.

WALNUT CREEK, Calif. - It's a little surprising to think of macaroni and cheese, that humble childhood dish, as the darling of the foodie crowd. But the cheesy, decadent favorite is popping up on restaurant menus everywhere, from Michael Mina's swanky bistros to Pican's stylish Southern table, as an entree, a side dish or - in the case of one new Oakland, Calif., restaurant - nearly the entire menu.

Follow-Up: 'Fore' Lawsuit in N.Y. Dismissed
An eight-year lawsuit is finally reaching an end. New York's top court ruled Tuesday to dismiss a lawsuit involving two doctors who were playing a round when one of them hit an errant shot that injured the other.
Dr. Anoop Kapoor and Dr. Azad Anand were playing nine-hole Dix Hills Park Golf Course in October 2002 when Anand was hit in the head from a shot by Kapoor while looking for his ball in a fairway, blinding him in one eye. Siding with lower courts, the seven judges on the state Court of Appeals said Kapoor's failure to yell in advance of his errant shot from the rough did not amount to intentional or reckless conduct.
The court cited a judge's finding that Anand was not in the foreseeable zone of danger and, as a golfer, consented to the inherent risks of the sport.
In previous hearings, it became apparent that the two opposing parties could not agree about the distance each golfer was away from the other and the angles of the fateful shot.
Kapoor also claimed that he did shout a warning after he hit his ball - a claim denied by Anand and a third player in their group. (For more background, visit http://www.cybergolf.com/golf_news/fore_heavens_sake.)
"What this now means," Carl Tobias, a professor of law at the University of Richmond, told New York Times' reporter Michael S. Schmidt, "is that when you play golf in New York, you are only liable for hitting someone" if that person is in front of you.
In 2007, the California State Court of Appeals ruled similarly, saying golfers were not responsible for injuries sustained by fellow players on the same course.
Because New York and California are two of the leading states in tort law, and that both states ruled the same way, "(the latest ruling) will almost certainly have larger implications for the rest of the country," Tobias told Schmidt.
Dalton B. Floyd, a lawyer in Surfside Beach, S.C., who specializes in golf-related litigation, said courts have traditionally found that golfers are not liable for hitting golfers not in their intended paths.
"There is an inherent risk in golf that not everybody is going to hit a straight shot," Floyd told Schmidt. "It's different, however, if you are driving the ball and you normally hit 200 yards and there is a person 150 yards out and you hit them and don't yell 'Fore.' In that case, you have to warn them and, if you don't, you are liable."
Most issues arise, Floyd said, when a golfer hits someone on a green when the golfer thought the green was farther away. "Where we have the most controversy is with the suing of the clubs," he said of signage at facilities that shows the wrong yardage of a hole.
"A guy hits a 3-iron and thought he was 210 yards out, but the marker on the course was wrong and someone on the green is hit."
For Drs. Kapoor and Anand, this should bring an end to their legal fight, and probably means they won't be playing golf together anytime soon.

Disneyland Paris.....Where to stay?
Disneyland Paris:
Ok, we know how to get there, but where to stay?
Anthony Murphy
Posted June 1, 2007 at 12:59 PM
OK, so my family has pretty much left it up to me to figure out most of everything with Disneyland Paris when we go in July. Looking on this site, I see that there are quite a few hotels at DLP. I was wondering which ones are good. They all seem similar to me and I know European Hotels sometimes are different than American Hotels. We are looking for a hotel that is not too expensive, but not cheap. To give you an idea, here are some other hotels in WDW that we liked: Carribean Beach, Port Orleans, Yachtt/Beach Club.

I visited Disneyland Paris which by the way is great. There are many hotels you can stay but the Disneyland Hotel is the greatest and the nearest to Disneyland Park. I stayed to Hotel New York which is located to Disney Village. There are many hotels but these are the greatest. You can visit the site

Hi there

Except...there is no heaven
On Wednesday, Pope Francis addressed people from all walks of life by claiming that anyone who does 'good' will go to heaven, even atheists. Pope Francis has been the first in many aspects of his papacy: first Pope from the Americas, first Jesuit Pope, and first to use Francis as a regnal name. However, he is not among the first to take a more universalist approach. Pope John XXIII began the Second Vatican Council in 1962, stating he wanted to "throw open the windows of the Church so that we can see out and the people can see in." That council went on to be more accepting of others, but their acceptance focused primarily on other types of Christ-based religions. Many Christians, from Origen in the third century to Madeleine L'Engle in the twenty first century, have argued for a universal acceptance to heaven, but never has a Pope so concretely stated that morality, not faith, is the way to heaven. With such a broad change from the denominationally strict tendencies of his predecessor, Pope Benedict XVI, what does Pope Francis' Wednesday morning mass mean for nonbelievers?
Pope Francis alluded to the Gospel of Mark during his mass, telling a story of Jesus' disciples seeing another man do good and complaining that "if he is not one of us, he cannot do good. If he is not our party, he cannot do good." The Pope explained that Jesus tells his disciples not to "hinder him" and they should "let him do good." It appears that the Pope is paralleling the story found on Mark 9:39-40. This book was likely the first of the four canonical gospels, having been written around 60 C.E. It provides the early groundwork for what modern Christians believe, such as being the only gospel to refer to Jesus as a carpenter. With such significance, shouldn't Mark's universalist undertones have come to light sooner? Additionally, Mark isn't the only one arguing for acceptance: "Do not hinder him; for he who is not against you is for you" (Luke 9:50). With all of these apparent allusions, why is Pope Francis the first to openly accept all people? There is a simple answer: the Bible is unreliable.
In the New Testament, Paul explains the importance of faith, not good deeds, to the Ephesians: "for by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not as a result of works, that no one should boast" (Ephesians 2:8-9). The Gospel of John, one of the four canonical gospels, explicitly says "Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to Father, but through Me.'" (14:6). The reason that Pope Francis is the first to argue for a universal acceptance to heaven through good deeds is because he specifically looked for a section of the New Testament that would defend his claims. With so many contradictory tales in the Bible, stories can be chosen or ignored depending on the lecturer's intended message. Just a few sections before the story of Jesus accepting everyone who is "not against us", it is revealed that the man so despised by the disciples isn't performing 'good' in general, but actually driving out demons (Mark 9:38; Luke 9:49). Clearly this wouldn't apply to most people, especially the atheist subjects of Pope Francis' mass, so he skipped over that part to focus on what he found important.
Questions of 'true' biblical meaning and individual interpretation aside, the bigger question of 'why' still shadows over the seemingly positive step for Catholicism: why does Pope Francis intend to include more people to the already one billion Catholics worldwide? With a diluted version of Christianity where a person no longer needs to accept Jesus Christ to go to heaven, literally everyone who is 'good' becomes eligible for salvation. Through his words, Pope Francis apparently deems everyone 'Christian' if they manage to live a good life. This seems to insinuate that the head of Catholicism is intentionally loosening the meaning of being a Christian, but it isn't clear what his goal is in doing so. Does Pope Francis intend to allow Catholicism to lose its meaning, potentially beginning a fall of organized religion from the inside? This seems unlikely. Perhaps, then, Pope Francis is hoping to broaden the definition of Christianity in order to widen his grasp, and thus Catholic influence, worldwide. Only time will tell.
No matter his intention, Pope Francis' mass remains odd. Even if he intended to be accepting because he genuinely believes that everyone should go to heaven, the Pope is still missing a major part of the topic: atheists don't believe in heaven. The Gospel of Mark, his primary source in arguing for universal acceptance, holds no divine authority over atheists. Pope Francis is giving the reward of heaven to a group of people who not only don't want the reward, but simply don't believe in it. His denial, or possible ignorance, towards nonbelief is actually somewhat demeaning. He is talking of atheists as if they are lost children, who he knows will one day 'come to their senses.' When he said "but do good: we will meet one another there," he said it tongue in cheek. He in no way means that he, or Catholicism, will contemplate changing their belief. Instead, the Pope is stating that the atheist are simply wrong, but God will let it slide and allow nonbelievers into heaven as long as they are good people. All in all, this mass changes nothing. Atheists still don't believe, and the Catholic church still thinks they are the ones that got everything right.

When the Denver Broncos face off against the San Diego Chargers this Sunday, it will be a matchup of two teams headed in completely opposite directions. The Broncos are rolling, thanks in large part to their much-publicized, miracle-wielding quarterback Tim Tebow, and a defense that is resurgent under first-year head coach John Fox. After losing four of their first five games, the Broncos have gone 4-1 since making the switch to Tebow, and sit one game out of first place behind the Oakland Raiders, a team they beat during that stretch.
Meanwhile, San Diego is reeling. Notoriously slow out of the gate, San Diego has historically found ways to right the ship and still make the playoffs, but this year appears to be very different. Losers of five straight, highly touted quarterback Philip Rivers leads the NFL in interceptions, and has had difficulty connecting with his receiving corps on a consistent basis. Throw in a defense that has been transparent at best, and the Chargers are mired at the bottom of a relatively weak AFC West.
To say the stakes are high in this contest is an understatement. Despite their poor start, the Broncos are eying first place, and regardless of their current funk, the Chargers believe they can still get back in it. However, the following slides provide 10 reasons why the Denver Broncos will ultimately prevail in this road matchup.

• In a 4½-year retrospective study of hospitalized patients with rheumatic fever treated with salicylates, we determined that five of 34 children manifested salicylate-induced hepatitis. The average serum salicylate level in those patients with hepatotoxicity was 30.9 mg/dL, while the average serum salicylate level in the rest of the patients was 19.7 mg/dL. An awareness of this potential complication is important when treating children with salicylates at doses previously considered to be nontoxic. Serum salicylate levels should be maintained at approximately 15 to 25 mg/dL during such therapy.

Whats so great about the S&W 4006? Any CHP officers want to chime in? After all, its your issued duty weapon.

I'm not a CHP officer, but I'll chime in anyway.
I have one. I bought it because I love 3rd gen. S&W autos and already have a 4506, 1006, and 5906. I wanted to sorta complete the set. I also got a great deal on it.
With that said, I wouldn't pick it as a duty weapon. It's bigger, heavier, and has less capacity than other .40's. I carried it for a few days right after I bought it and decided that if I was going to put up with that much weight, I'd just carry the 4506 or 1006.
The upside is that it is accurate and reliable. Also, if there's a more solidly built .40 out there, I haven't seen it. My future great grand kids and their great grand kids will be able to shoot it.
May 11, 2006, 02:40 PM
I see, thanks.
May 11, 2006, 03:36 PM
I've put about 400rnds through a 4006 going about 3yrs back. It was a duty weapon for a local part time LEO I used to hit the range with. Not too bad and it was accurate enough. It did strike me as very "old tech" though. Not as cutting edge as it once was, but will still do the job in light of newer pistols that are out there.

May 11, 2006, 03:45 PM
I've had a couple of 4006's and IMO, they are good, solid, reliable pistols in everyway. I don't recall ever having a malfunction of anykind. About the only downside is that they are kind of heavy but with a good holster the heaviness goes away (sorta).

The upside is that it is accurate and reliable. Also, if there's a more solidly built .40 out there, I haven't seen it.Owning both, the limited edition all-stainless Sig 229 is more solidly built and holds one extra round but despite that, I still prefer the 4006.
May 14, 2006, 12:09 AM

One I share as well, though unlike him I prefer the SIG.
May 14, 2006, 12:49 PM
It would be diffucult to argue that there is a more solid .40 S&W cal. handgun out there. I bought mine for $300 w/ nite sights (Wyoming F&G trade-in) and it is the only .40 I still have (traded or sold the other half-dozen). The .40 tends to be excessively snappy for a cartridge of average power, but the 4006 makes it quite pleasant to shoot. Like EddieCoyle, I had to complete the xx06 collection and they are my favorite pistols. Well built, good looking, fit the hand and I do not have to worry about a round being "too hot"-they'll take it.
May 14, 2006, 02:14 PM
I remember when the CHP selected their new M4006 pistols.
They wanted a pistol that would have at least a 40,000 round service life using the 180gr JHP load of the time. Their choice of the 4006 turned out to be a good one, and some of the pistols have actually exceeded their original specified service life by a significant margin.
I heard that the CHP academy has a small number of well-used pistols that have logged anywhere from 100-200,000 rounds without significant problems, too.
I've talked to a lot of very pleased CHP users of the M4006 over the years, too. They've developed a lot of confidence in their pistols.
The 4006 pistol is a rather robust .40 S&W pistol.
The weight of the 4006TSW is a bit similar to that of a .357 Magnum M686 ... lighter, 37.8 oz unloaded versus 44 oz for the L-frame ... and I carried an L-frame for several years on my duty belt (and even off-duty ;) ).
When our folks started carrying 4006TSW's they didn't complain about the weight as much as some of us expected, after they had been carrying 5903's for many years. They like the way the pistols handle and shoot.
Granted, my issued SW99 pistol had an extra round of capacity in the magazine, and the grip profile was a bit slimmer ... but it didn't handle and exhibit the same controllability as the 4006TSW during live fire.
Matter of fact, I happen to prefer my issued 4013TSW with it's 9-round magazines over my previously issued SW99, too. Better controllability ... but then I'm one of those folks who really liked the ergonomics of the 6906 grip frame, which is what I get with my new 4013TSW. I still miss my 6906, though.;)
May 17, 2006, 10:12 AM
I had one and was not satisfied. The gun was "work" to shoot rather than
fun to shoot. It was quite heavy. I admired the fact that it is built like
an army tank!
Although, I have determined this model is not for me it could be ideal for
someone else with different ideas about what makes a good semiauto.

The California Highway Patrol is buying 9,700 semi-automatic pistols from gun maker Smith & Wesson Corp. in a deal the CHP says is worth $6.6 million.
Delivery of the .40-caliber firearms will start in June and be completed over the next 18 months, Smith & Wesson Vice President Liz Sharp said.
The new firearms will replace older Smith & Wesson pistols that CHP officers have carried as their primary service weapon since the 1990s, Sharp said.
Leland Nichols, Smith & Wesson's chief operating officer, said the Springfield, Mass.-based company was "honored" that California's premier law enforcement agency had decided to stick with his company's guns.
"They are happy with the brand and happy with the reliability and durability," Nichols said. "They have some units that have fired over 100,000 rounds."
News of Smith & Wesson's CHP contract pushed the company's shares higher onTuesday. The stock rose 32 cents, or almost 5 percent, to close at $6.73 in trading on the American Stock Exchange.
The 4006TSW pistols, which weigh 37.8 ounces each, are made in Springfield and sell in stores for between $850 and $996 each, the latter the suggested retail price on the company's Web site.
Nichols declined to disclose anyfinancial details aboutof the contract, citing competitive reasons.CHP spokesman Tom Marshall said his agency paid about $683 per weapon. He said the CHP is getting a $1.3 million credit for trading in its old Smith & Wesson service pistols as they are replaced.
The credits will cut the CHP's actual out-of-pocket costs to $5.3 million, Marshall said.
A Smith & Wesson distributor in California, Allstate Police Equipment of Claremont, will supply the pistols.
The CHP sought public bids for the contract in March.
The U.S. affiliate of a rival Swiss pistol maker, Sigarms, submitted a bid, but its offer was disqualified by state officials, Marshall said.
The Smith & Wesson 4006TSW has a stainless steel frame, and a four-inch barrel and is 7 1/2 inches long. The pistol, which can be equipped with light and laser devices, holds 11 rounds in the magazine and one in the chamber.
The CHP order was the second big sale this month for Smith & Wesson. Last week, the firm announced that the Cincinnati Police Department had placed an order for 1,100 of its new advanced M&P9 polymer pistols.

Sig 229 is more solidly builtOpinion.Just shot the two of them side by side ...
... The all stainless 229 is definitely more solid and absorbs the kick better than the 4006. The 4006, on the other hand, has better balance to it. Accuracy was about the same.

Junctional epidermolysis bullosa
Junctional epidermolysis bullosa (JEB) is a form of inherited epidermolysis bullosa (see this term) characterized by involvement of the skin and mucous membranes, and is defined by the formation of blistering lesions between the epidermis and the dermis at the lamina lucida level of the cutaneous basement membrane zone and by healing of lesions with atrophy and/or exuberant granulation tissue formation.
JEB is the less common, but frequently early lethal form of EB. Incidence data from the U.S. and Italian EB registries indicate 1/450,000 and 1/260,000 live births, respectively.
Onset is usually at birth with the exception of late-onset JEB. Several JEB subtypes have been described based on clinical features. All subtypes are characterized by the presence of enamel hypoplasia manifesting as localized or more extensive thimble-like pitting of some or all of the tooth surfaces. Blistering is usually associated with atrophic scarring or with exuberant granulation tissue formation and nail dystrophy. Additional skin findings may include congenital aplasia cutis congenita (see this term) and progressive hair loss. Mucosal involvement is constant, although of variable severity, and can affect the gastrointestinal, respiratory and genitourinary tracts and the eyes. Pyloric atresia is the hallmark of the JEB with pyloric atresia subtype (see this term). JEB is divided in two major subtypes: the more severe JEB-Herlitz form and the JEB-other subtype which in turn comprises six variants, the last 3 of which are very rare (JEB, non Herlitz, generalized; JEB, non-Herlitz, localized; JEB with pyloric atresia; JEB inversa; late-onset JEB; LOC syndrome (see these terms)).
JEB is caused by mutations in various genes, including COL17A1, ITGA6, ITGB4, LAMA3, LAMB3 and LAMC2.
Diagnosis is based on determination of the level within which blisters develop on skin biopsy samples following minor traction to the skin. The recommended techniques are immunofluorescence antigen mapping and transmission electron microscopy. In JEB, the blister cleavage plane is localized within the lamina lucida of the cutaneous basement membrane zone. Subtypes are then defined on the basis of immunofluorescence and electron microscopic findings, and clinical presentation. Genetic testing is possible and for some JEB subtypes it is necessary to confirm the diagnosis.
Diagnosis is usually straightforward with little need for extensive differential diagnosis. However, in the neonatal period, in utero Herpes simplex infection may need to be considered, especially if there is no family history of blistering disease or if the clinical findings are very atypical for EB. The differential diagnosis in neonates may include inherited or acquired skin disorders with a similar presentation.
Prenatal diagnosis can be performed by DNA mutational analysis.
JEB is inherited in an autosomal recessive manner. Genetic counseling should be performed either by a medical geneticist or a dermatologist who has considerable experience with EB.
Patients affected by most JEB forms require hospitalization in neonatal intensive care because of the severity skin lesions and extracutaneous manifestations, to monitor the water-electrolyte balance, and for treatment of failure to thrive, anemia, infectious and respiratory complications, etc. Pain management is also extremely important in these patients and often requires opioids. Subsequently, patient management should involve a multidisciplinary team, to ensure coordinated care. Skin management is based on the avoidance of blistering by meticulous protective padding of the skin, avoidance of trauma in daily life, lancing and draining of new blisters, and prevention of secondary infection by careful wound care.
Patients with JEB, particularly those with JEB-H, JEB-PA and LOC syndrome, are at major risk of death during the first few years of life.

Q. What are the plans for the barren median strip planter areas north of the Snee Farm area up to the end of the highway expansion area: Will there be lights and plantings; and when will the work be complete? - Bob Oidtman, Mount Pleasant
A. "The median plans for Highway 17 above the IOP Connector are currently awaiting an encroachment permit from the South Carolina Department Of Transportation. Plans were submitted on Nov. 9. The plan is to landscape the medians similar to the previous Highway 17 widening a few years back. We had hoped to have landscaping started by next month but the timeline is dependent on the timeline of received in the SCDOT encroachment permit. The project is anticipated to be nearly a year long.
There will be lighting in the medians as well and SCE&G is currently installing lighting on all the Highway 17 widening projects." - Eddie Bernard, RLA, LEED AP, ISA Certified Arborist Municipal Specialist, ISA Certified Tree Risk Assessor, Town of Mount Pleasant- Planning Department
Q. What ordinance governs billboards? How did Carolina Park get the go ahead for these huge boxes and what is their expected life time? - Sandra Bungerz
A."In early 2012 Carolina Park submitted a request for an amendment to its Planned Development Zoning. The request included a specific amendment to the Carolina Park sign regulations to allow these sign structures on Highway 17.
This was reviewed through the public hearing process and approved early last year." - Christiane Farrell, Director of Planning, Town of Mount Pleasant.
Q. The entrance to Lazy Lane presents some safety issues for walkers and bikers. The road is two lanes without a sidewalk and a low-lying shoulder where cars are frequently parked. To gain access or egress requires pedestrians or bikers to walk or ride on front lawns or in the street. Beyond the entrance to Lazy Lane there is an immediate right turn required to stay on Lazy Lane. Many service trucks and strangers to the area keep going straight (without stopping). This puts them mistakenly on dead ended Lazy Lane Court. At least 10 or 12 times a day this error occurs. What is needed immediately is a sidewalk on the left side of Lazy Lane and a no outlet sign for Lazy Lane Court. Is there a remedy in the works? - Tom McCallion, Mount Pleasant
A. "The subdivisions serviced by Lazy Lane and Lazy Lane Court were built when development regulations did not require sidewalks. There are many neighborhoods like this throughout the town where sidewalks are now desired by the residents. The town does not currently have funding to retroactively install these sidewalks, but does pursue broader, primary roadway pedestrian connections through state and county funding opportunities.
Regarding "No Outlet" signage, with hundreds of cul-de-sac roads throughout the town, to place no outlet signs on each cul-de-sac would be pervasive; the general guidance is to review these requests on a case by case basis, which will be done in this instance." - Brad Morrison, Director of Transportation, Town of Mount Pleasant.

The City Crafter's blog challenge this week is Back to Basics. You are to use some type of paint and some re-cycled cardboard. I love the distressed cardboard that everyone is using in their projects and what fun to rip up some old cardboard and paint on it!
Here is my end project. I think it would be nice as a wall hanging or on an easel.
Vanity plate. The floral branch is Recollections.
The background is a piece of cardboard that I distressed and painted with Sand Acrylic paint from Ranger. The flowers are from the Vanity plate and are stamped across the background using Ranger Archival ink - Coffee. The little flowers are stamped on ivory cardstock and colored using watercolor pencils and distressed around the edges with brown dye ink.
Thanks for stopping by!
