text: The Bear HugWhat was CryoLife to do? Its two unsolicited bids were rejected. Its lawsuit was unraveling. Of course, it could just live with its original distribution agreement. Instead, on January 13, 2010, CryoLife CEO Steve Anderson informed Medafor that his company had bought 1.6 million Medafor shares amounting to $3.2 million and 8% of the company. They also sent a letter to Medafor's board of directors offering to purchase all of Medafor's stock at the same $2 per share price.Medafor responded by saying they will study the offer. CryoLife didn't wait. One week later, Anderson sent a letter directly to Medafor's shareholders urging them to pressure management into accepting the $2 per share bid.It is not clear whether CryoLife and CEO Steve Anderson are really interested in a response from Medafor's management. They've been turned down twice. The lawsuit failed and Medafor has apparently caught Anderson with his hands in the proverbial cookie jar (his attempt to sell MPH in Spain).Medafor is clearly heading for the door and as fast an exit as possible. But, again, this is Steve Anderson. Anything is possible.Biologic's Bad BoyMinnesota gave Steve Anderson some his highest professional experiences and, most assuredly, his lowest. Anderson grew up in Minnesota and, to a large extent, is a product of the early cardiovascular industry there. Brian Lykins also grew up in Minnesota and, in 2001, was a young 23-year-old man in need of knee surgery. His surgeon, a CryoLife customer, chose to implant one of that company's "fresh" allograft cartilage products. Turns out the allograft was far from "fresh." It had been harvested too long after death of the donor. It had not been tested adequately and was teeming with one of the most deadly of all bacteria—Clostridium Sordelli. Brian Lykens develop a massive infection and died shortly after his surgery.As is often the case, when bad things happen, some people figure out how to do the right thing and others don't. In the classic 1986 Tylenol contamination case Johnson & Johnson immediately recalled all Tylenol at tremendous cost (more than $1 billion) to the company and would not reintroduce it until it could do so safely. Anderson missed that lesson.

When we started opentaps nine years ago, our goal was to create great business software from open source. And have we ever! Most people wouldn't have believed that enterprise-class open source ERP and CRM was possible, but we did it — thanks to Linux, Apache, MySQL, PostgreSQL, OFBiz, JasperReports, and many others open source projects.
The world, meanwhile, has moved forward too. It's no secret that the future of software is mobile, social, and big data, and open source software is moving in those directions as well.
What does this mean for real businesses?
Imagine being able to capture all your interactions with customers as they happen: by email, on twitter/Facebook/pinterest, via text messages, or by phone. Anywhere. Any time. Any how.
Then imagine being able to use that information to make your customers happier — and sell more.
That's what we think a whole new generation of open source software could do for you. And we've started by creating a whole new opentaps to do it. Because it is built with a whole new different set of open source technologies and a different cloud-open source business model, we've created a new site at opentaps.com for this new product. Meanwhile, the existing open source ERP and CRM lives on at opentaps.org and will continue to evolve.
We hope you'll join for the next phase of our journey — the best is yet to come.

Anatomy: Morganucodon was a tiny, rat-like quadruped that had 5-toed feet and a short tail. It was about 4 inches (10 cm) long; it had short legs, a long, narrow snout, and both sharp teeth plus grinding molars. This early mammal belonged to the Order Triconodont (having 3 cups on molars).
Its large eyes probably indicate that it was nocturnal. Morganucodon was probably warm-blooded, but may have laid eggs, like other primitive mammals.
Diet: Morganucodon ate insects and other small animals.

I think there is a 10% chance that diplomacy works and a breakthrough is reached. It won't fail for a lack of trying by the U.S. side. However, I think that China has few incentives to reach a deal.
I assign a 70% probability that the can is kicked down the road. Sufficient progress will be made to dodge the political firestorm. The Big Four firms will keep their registrations, and the deadline for inspections will be deferred again.
I think there is a 20% chance that it all falls apart. The PCAOB and the SEC make no progress. The issue becomes political and widely known. Deregistration becomes the only option and it is the PCAOB that pulls the plug. That then forces the exchanges to decide how to enforce their rules that require companies to have auditors and audited financial statements in order to be listed. I expect in this scenario that the exchanges are forced to delist the companies, and the scramble to Hong Kong begins. - By Paul Gillis

Just a day after talking about how any offensive reinforcements we can call up from Memphis probably won't create that much of effect, John Mozeliak indicates he had to try something anyway and added first baseman Xavier Scruggs and infielder Greg Garcia to the Major League roster. Headed back to Memphis are catcher Ed Easley and relief pitcher Mitch Harris.
In theory, this will help solidify the Cardinals' bench and give Mike Matheny more options while he constructs lineups on a nightly basis.

Bugs-n-Blooms's Butterfly Life
See How to Make Use of Beautiful Curtain Tiebacks
Curtains are among the most popular window coverings. Even windows with blinds often have curtains as well for a more finished, decorative look. You don't always want the curtains blocking light, though. You might want to keep curtains swagged to the side all the time and just use them to frame the windows, or have the option to have the curtains open or closed depending on the time of day.
There are several ways to move curtains out of the way. One of the most common is curtain tiebacks. Bugs-n-Blooms carries several styles of curtain tiebacks that work in a wide variety of rooms and with many different decorating themes.
Where To Use Tiebacks
The bright colors and cute designs of Bugs-n-Blooms curtain tiebacks are perfect for a child's room and also work throughout the home. Here are just a few ideas:
- Use tiebacks in the bathroom to swag shower curtains out of the way.
- Tie-back kitchen curtains with cheerful smiling bumblebees.
- Let light into a little girl's princess room with butterfly or flower tiebacks.
- Some ladybug and dragonfly tiebacks work well in a garden or pond theme boy's room.
- Decorate a nursery with Bugs-n-Blooms decorations and matching tiebacks.
Curtain Styles That Work
In order to use curtain tiebacks, you need curtains hung in such a way that you can swag them to the sides or tie them in the middle. Any style of curtains hanging from a standard rod, double rod, or tension rod will work. Curtain tracks, also called a traverse rod, that are designed to make curtains easy to open and close are not meant for use with tiebacks.
Any type of curtain fabric will work with tiebacks. The different fabrics will, however, influence how you hang tiebacks. With heavier fabrics, the tiebacks can either be tied to the curtains or fastened to the wall. With light-weight fabrics, you should fasten tiebacks to the wall. If you don't attach the tiebacks to the wall, they may slide down thin/sheer curtains.
Hanging tiebacks
If you're going to hang your tiebacks to the wall, place them about two-thirds of the way down the window on either side of the window frame. You can use small nail(s), staples, Velcro, or Command Strips to attach the tiebacks to the wall. You want to attach the bug or bloom decorating the tieback to the wall rather than using the ribbons or wire – those are for wrapping around the curtains.
For those who want to switch between having the tieback attached to the wall and hanging free, you can simply use a small hook. Attach a decorative hook, or one that's small enough for the curtain to hide, to the wall or window frame about two-thirds of the way down the window. Then, you can loop the wire or ribbons on the tie-back over this hook when you want to swag the curtains back.
June Tea Parties
You don't need chilly weather to throw a tea party. June is National Iced Tea month, and summer tea parties are a perfect way to celebrate. Gather your friends for a laid-back summer party with cool drinks and fun times in a setting beautifully decorated with Bugs-n-Blooms.
Iced tea has a rich history in the United States. The market really took off after the 1904 World's Fair in St. Louis, when the weather got too warm for hot tea served at the East Indian Pavilion so they ran the tea through iced pipes to chill it. Iced tea existed well before this, however, and historic cookbooks show recipes for cooled teas dating back to the early 18th Century.
Iced Tea Tips
You can use any sort of tea to make iced tea. Bagged, instant, loose leaf – they'll all work. Iced tea is usually made from black tea, but green tea is also a popular choice and you can choose from more exotic tea blends or herb and flower teas as well. Just brew the tea at double-strength and store in the refrigerator until you're ready to use. The double-strength tea allows for dilution as the ice cubes melt, so the tea won't taste watered-down.
For your party, offer several different types of iced tea and garnishes so guests can customize their flavor. Mint sprigs and lemon slices are common garnishes. You might also offer orange and lime slices, other fresh fruit, and edible flowers. Don't forget to provide several sweetener options as well.
Party Snacks
Choose light summery snacks for your iced tea party. Tea sandwiches are a great basis for your snack offerings, and there's a huge variety of recipes you can try out. Just a few examples include tomato-cheddar, cucumber-butter, smoked turkey, olive-focaccia, and salmon salad. Choose a handful of different recipes so your guests have options.
Fresh fruit is always a popular choice for summer parties, as are tasty summer deserts. Bite-size desserts like petite-fours, meringues, and tiny tarts make a good choice. Other options include decorated cookies shaped like tea bags, teapots, or tea cups. Cakes are also a good choice.
Easy Decorating
Let's be honest – we don't all have the time to make those adorable hand-made decorations we see on Pinterest. The last thing many of us need is another project on our hands. Parties should be fun, not filled with pre-party stress about how you're going to get everything done before your friends show up.
Bugs-n-Blooms decorations are very easy to hang and look great with minimal fuss. All you have to do is unpack the decorations, fluff the wings or petals up a little, and hang them using the included fishing line or other supplies like adhesive strips and glue dots. There's a huge variety to choose from. You could choose a specific color theme for your party, throw a butterfly or flower theme party, or mix-and-match your favorite decorations for summer.
Flower Theme Weddings for Spring
Every wedding has flowers, but we don't often think about planning the entire theme around them. Spring weddings are a perfect time for planning a floral theme wedding, and Bugs-n-Blooms offers a wide selection of flower decorations to help with that. You probably won't want to use our nylon flowers for your bouquet, but they'll work well as decorations at the ceremony and reception location.
Why Use Bugs-n-Bloom Decorations
Fresh flowers are lovely, of course, but they're not practical for every situation. Flowers wilt if they don't have enough water or if they get too much sun. If you want an outdoor wedding, and there's bright sunlight and wind most flowers won't hold up very well. For a flower-covered backdrop or flowers decorating the chairs, it's hard to supply enough water to keep the flowers looking good. That's where beautiful artificial flower decorations come in.
Our flower decorations don't look like "real flowers," instead, they are a fun twist on your favorite blooms with bright colors and many have shimmer and shine to kick it up a notch! The other cool thing? They also won't wilt or dry out in the open air. Since they won't be in vases that can tip over and spill water on your guests, and they won't drip water or sap like cut stems can if you want to use flower on the table settings. You also don't have to worry about picking them up fresh on the morning of the wedding or having them delivered.
At the Ceremony
If you dream of having a beautiful floral backdrop or archway for your wedding ceremony, Bugs-n-Bloom decorations can be a simpler alternative to fresh flowers. The smaller mini flower decorations would work well for attaching to a green background to create a flower wall-backdrop, or strung on fishing line to create a romantic curtain of twirling blooms. An assortment of the small, medium and large sizes would be perfect for attaching to a wedding arch or chuppah.
Our nylon flower decorations are also useful for decorating the aisle and seating area. If you want decorations on the chairs, Bugs-n-Bloom flowers are easy to wire in place. For decorations along the aisle, artificial flowers are sturdier than fresh flowers. Unlike live arrangements along the aisle, you won't have to worry about a container cracking or the arrangement falling apart if a guest bumps into the flowers.
At The Reception
Our flower decorations are designed for hanging on the walls and ceilings, and they're an excellent way to decorate an indoor reception area. If you're holding an outdoor reception, they're sturdy enough to stand up to intense sunlight, some wind, and even a little rain if an unexpected shower shows up.
To dress-up each table setting, attach one of our mini decorations to napkin rings or the stem of a wine glass. You could also just place a decoration on top of each folded napkin, and make sure guests know they can take the little flowers home as wedding favors. Our flowers also work well as decorative centerpieces, and can be mixed with fresh foliage. For example, if you have a table runner of evergreen foliage some cute flower decorations will add color.
Jungle Party Ideas
Jungle themes make for a fun and easy-to-plan party, and many of the ideas will also work for a Lion King or safari theme. The theme works equally well for a kids birthday party, a baby shower, or a get-together for grownups. When decorating a jungle theme party, don't forget to order some of Bugs-n-Blooms' bright flowers and colorful butterflies that look so good paired with jungle green decorations.
Start-out Right
Set the tone for the party immediately with themed invitations. For a children's birthday party, you could use an invitation that looks like a Passport and invite the young guests on a jungle adventure. If your party is geared more toward older children or adults, you might opt for a simple invitation with green accents that tells guests they're invited to a jungle party or go wild with animal print invitations.
Let guests know if they're expected to dress a certain way. You might invite everyone to wear animal print or, for a children's party, dress-up as their favorite animal. If a child wants to dress up as a butterfly or other creature with wings, Bugs-n-Blooms offers comfortable, quality costume wings and accessories.
Jungle Setting
Real jungles are packed full of vibrant greenery, colorful flowers, insects and wild animals. Set the stage for your party by filling the room with as many vines, leaves, and green decorations as you can. If you have houseplants, bring them into the party room for decorations. If you're having the party outside, drape artificial vines or green paper streamers from tree branches, fences, porch railings, tent poles, or patio umbrellas.
Pair the green decorations with flowers and butterflies from Bugs-n-Blooms. All our hanging nylon decorations can be hung from walls, ceilings, or other structures, and the smaller decorations can be attached directly to vines and streamers. These decorations are sturdy enough to use for an outdoor party and come in the wide variety of colors you'll want in a jungle theme.
Table Settings
Pick up a grass table skirt (the kind sold for Hawaiian luaus) and pair it with a green tablecloth to make a jungle-theme serving table. You can also take small Bugs-n-Blooms decorations and attach them to the table skirt or scatter them on the table among the serving trays. Don't forget to fill the table with jungle-theme the party foods as well!
For the tables where guests will eat, you can opt for a casual setting with animal-print paper plates or go for a more elegant look with regular plates and add jungle theme in the decorations. An animal-print table runner and fresh flowers would make a nice centerpiece, or you could pick up some toy jungle animals and use them as the centerpieces. If you have enough toys for each guest, your table decorations can double as take-home party favors for kids.
Decorating for Pink Wedding Showers
Planning a shower this spring before your friend's wedding? If she enjoys feminine style and girly-girl decorations, go pink-happy with your theme. Pink themed parties are perfect for an elegant spring shower fit for a princess. Both bright and pale pinks look lovely in the spring sunshine, and there are plenty of seasonal flowers available in the right colors. It's also an easy theme to plan and decorate for.
Daytime Partying
Take advantage of the spring sunlight when you're planning your party. Natural sunlight will brighten the setting, and also means you're tied to a morning or afternoon shower. Opt for a brunch menu or offer a light lunch paired with refreshing non-alcoholic drinks. The day-time setting would also work well with a tea-party themed shower.
If it's late enough in the spring for warm weather, you can plan on hosting the party outdoors. Just make sure you have a backup plan in case of rain showers. Bugs-n-Blooms decorations work just as well outdoors as they do inside. The nylon flowers and bugs hold up well in a light breeze or even a sprinkle of rain. Just bring them inside if the weather turns nasty.
Pink Everywhere
Don't be shy with the color when planning a spring bridal shower. The pink theme can show up on the invitations, as decorations, on the tablecloths, and even with the food when you chose pink frosting for deserts. If you're worried about pink over-powering your party space, pair it with white for a fresh, elegant look.
Start shopping by browsing Bugs-n-Blooms pink decorations. We offer a wide selection of hanging flower, butterfly, dragonfly and ladybug decorations in various styles and shades of pink. The larger decorations work well as eye-catching wall and ceiling decorations, and the smaller decorations are great for decorating the tables as well. Matching curtain tie-backs are easy to tie on to the backs of chairs or around fences, tent poles and deck railings outside.
Spring Fresh
As the weather starts to warm, you'll have more access to fresh flowers, fruits and vegetables. Take advantage of this fact when planning your party. You'll be able to decorate with fresh flowers, which pair well with Bugs-n-Blooms decorations. Our mini decorations look adorable when attached to wire and placed in fresh floral arrangements, making them look as though a the little butterfly or bug is hovering over the flowers.
Using fresh fruits and vegetables on your menu makes the spring shower food healthy as well as delicious – important for pre-wedding events! Fresh fruits also work well in deserts, and choosing red berries and pink fruits like grapefruit, guava and papaya make the food match the pink theme as well.
What Your Obsession With Butterflies Says About You
What's your favorite animal? is a question we're often asked as kids, and even as adults when we're taking the ever-popular online personality quizzes. We assume the type of animal we like best says something about who we are – people who like bears are strong, people who like squirrels are jumpy, and people who like dolphins are social.
What about those who like butterflies? You're obsessed with butterflies' color and beauty, you have butterfly decorations throughout our homes, maybe you've even taken a "What Kind of Butterfly Are You?" quiz (I'm a Skipper Butterfly, by the way). What does this say about your personality?
The term "social butterfly" usually refers to an outgoing, extroverted personality who is comfortable in social situations. Social butterflies flit around a party talking with people and making them feel welcome, like a butterfly flits around a garden visiting different flowers. Wherever they go, they bring a smile with their innate friendliness and social grace.
If you're a social butterfly who enjoys hosting, you can decorate for your parties with a butterfly theme. Tea parties, birthdays, baby or bridal showers – they all work well with a butterfly theme. Bugs-n-Blooms carries a large selection of butterfly decorations – more than any of our other styles – and you're sure to find something perfect for your next party.
Inner Strength
Many cultures think the butterfly is a symbol of the human soul. Butterflies look fragile, but they're surprisingly strong. They have a relatively sturdy exoskeleton, and they are well-adapted to a variety of different climates. Many species of butterflies also have beautiful wing patterns that let them conceal themselves from predators or bright colors that warn predators they don't taste good.
People who love butterflies have an inner strength that helps them adapt to life as it changes. Instead of fearing change, butterfly people embrace it with hope. They know that even if it feels like the world is ending, there's a chance that tomorrow will be better. As the saying on our quote sticker goes, "Just when the Caterpillar thought the world was over, it became a Butterfly."
Butterflies live at one with the earth and play a vital role in the ecosystem. They pollinate flowers, provide natural pest control, and hold an important place in the food chain. Recognizing this, many advertisers use butterflies when they're trying to demonstrate that a product is environmentally friendly.
Those who love butterflies often see them as a symbol of beauty in the natural world, and a key reason for conservation. Decorating your house with butterflies is a lovely way to welcome the outdoors inside, show your love for the earth, and surround yourself with the beauty of these very special insects.
Creative Interior Decorating with Red Ladybugs
Red is a bold color, one that can be used in modern or traditional interior design. It's a shade that instantly brightens a room, but also easily overwhelm the space. Most designers advise using red sparingly in accents rather than on large areas of the room though there are some shades of red that work well as wall colors.
Using Red
Color psychologists describe red as a color that can increase heart rate. It's connected with passion and authority, and when used in interior design can encourage connection between people. Bright red colors are energizing while more subdued shades like burgundy are cozy.
Attractive and interesting ways to use red are virtually limitless. In kitchens, red accents or floors can add a playful feel and increase the appetite. In living areas, red tones reflected off furnishings and decorations, or filtering through red curtains, makes the room feel warm and inviting. In dining rooms or a study, dark reds look elegant on the walls or in furnishings.
Ladybug Rooms
A cute way to add red to any room is using ladybug decorations. We offer hanging wall and ceiling decorations in small, medium and larger sizes, with three different styles of ladybug. Shimmer ladybugs have classic red wings with black spots. Glitter ladybugs have solid red wings. Hayley styles have layered red and black wings.
Ladybugs pair well with nature themes in living areas, sunrooms, kitchens, and children's rooms. The red colors look good with green or neutral tone paint colors. For a bolder approach, you can paint one wall red as an accent and then mirror the color through the rest of the room with ladybug decorations. For a child's bedroom or playroom, you might even paint black ladybug spots on the red wall. If you're trying to match paint to the color of our ladybug decorations, take one of the decorations with you when you go paint shopping.
Nautical Themes
Red is a common accent color in nautical themes. If you want to incorporate small amounts of red in a theme with an over-all color that's neutral or blue, then nautical themes will be a great choice for your room. Bugs-n-Blooms offers nautical-theme wall stickers in several styles. Alphabet letters are white on a round life-preserver background. Wall decals come in a sheet of six stickers: two sailboats, a whale, lighthouse, anchor, and life-preserver. There's also a growth chart and a "Row, row, row your boat" quote sticker.
A neutral tone like light brown or gray on the walls pairs well with most nautical decorations. Natural wood furniture and trim also go well with the nautical theme. If you're looking for a bolder decorating scheme, you can add an accent wall painted red or one decorated with stripes or a chevron pattern.
Tasty Winter Baby Showers
The short days and chilly weather make winter a perfect time for cozy parties. When hosting a baby shower for a mom-to-be in the winter, warm your guests hearts with tasty treats that make the season seem warm and inviting in spite of the chilly weather. Choosing a theme centered around winter flavors gives your party a unifying theme and helps narrow down desert options. It also gives you ideas for favors and a color scheme for decorating.
A flavor nearly synonymous with winter, peppermint treats offer a compelling basis for a baby shower theme. The white and red color combination makes for a striking color pallet with a holiday flare, and there's a broad range of peppermint-flavored treats to choose from. Mint cookies, candies, taffy and ice cream work on the desert table and peppermint tea matches the theme and warms up guests. Use candy canes as part of your favors to stick with the theme.
Bugs-n-Blooms offers bright red ladybug decorations and white butterflies, flowers and dragonflies to match a peppermint theme. They pair very nicely with other decorations as well. For example, you could use red ladybugs to decorate a table with a white tablecloth, or add white butterflies to wall hangings with red crepe paper streamers. For showers you're hosting after the Christmas season, save money by waiting to buy other decorations until holiday décor goes on sale.
Make a chocolate theme winter-appropriate by adding a hot chocolate bar. Offer guests their choice of mix-ins to turn heated milk into smooth, creamy hot cocoa. Make sure to provide plenty of dark, milk and white chocolate chips, as well as other mix-ins like flavored marshmallows, caramel, and mint or orange flavors. You can keep with this theme for your favors as well, by putting hot cocoa mix in baby bottles for each guest to take home.
When decorating, choose warm tones like golds, creams, and browns. Holiday lights make a lovely backdrop for other decorations like Bugs-n-Blooms' chocolate-brown butterfly, flower, ladybug, and dragonfly decorations. Full-size decorations work well as wall or ceiling decorations, and smaller mini decorations fit right in on table settings.
Not only is gingerbread a favorite flavor this time of year, but you can also turn it into a gingerbread baby party by decorating gingerbread men cookies with icing diapers. For a fun activity, you can have guests decorate their gingerbread cookies or build gingerbread houses to take home as favors.
This is a great theme to choose if you want to use holiday decorations. If you're hosting a party right before or right after the holidays, you might already have decorations up that you can repurpose for the party. Bugs-n-Blooms work here, too. Our small hanging our decorations can double as holiday ornaments, and you can use wall letters to spell out phrases welcoming the baby or related to the gingerbread theme.
Guide to Holiday Colors
Each holiday that falls during the winter months has its signature colors. You can branch out from that basic pallet, but not too much if you want to keep with a recognizable, traditional theme. Whatever holiday you're decorating for this winter, Bugs-n-Blooms has decorations in the right colors.
Hanukkah Colors
Blue and white are the main colors used when decorating for Hanukkah. They're the same colors used on the Israeli flag, and in traditional prayer shawls. If you want more sparkle in your Hanukkah decorations and crafts, many who keep this holiday also incorporate silver decorations that match silver-wrapped gelt and silver menorah.
Our butterfly, flower, and dragonfly decorations come in multi-layered options that combine blue and white on the same decoration. They're also available in solid blue and all white designs. Most styles include crystals and/or sequins on the wings or petals, which makes an excellent complement to sparkling silver.
Red and Green
Red and green are the traditional colors for both Christmas and Kwanzaa. For Christmas, the color tradition may come from stage decorations used in medieval mystery plays, or from the colors of evergreen leaves and red berries available in the winter. For Kwanzaa, green is symbolic of Africa and hope for its peoples' future, while red stands for the shed blood of past generations.
Bugs-n-Blooms doesn't carry the dark pine green typically associated with these winter holidays, but we do have ladybug decorations with the traditionally vivid red color. They look great used as decorations on an evergreen wreath, or even hung on a tree as ornaments. Larger ladybugs make eye-catching wall decorations, and you could use alphabet decals to spell out the holiday's name or a seasonal greeting.
Non-Traditional Options
There are a variety of ways to incorporate non-traditional shades of green, red and many other colors to create an attractive holiday color pallet. For example, you could change the red and green pallet slightly by opting for a lighter shade of green like the cool mint and apple green colors available with Bugs-n-Blooms' butterflies, flowers, and dragonflies.
Other holiday color pallets can incorporate shades of brown and orange to evoke holiday flavors like chocolate, spice, and gingerbread. Mini butterflies and flowers could even be used to decorate gingerbread houses, so long as you remind kids not to try and eat them. You could also pair berry-colors like purples and reds with green, or even gray tones, for a winter look.
Christmas Gift and DIY Card Ideas
Spread holiday cheer this year with hand-made gifts and cards decorated with Bugs-n-Blooms. Handmaking your cards and gifts is a perfect way to demonstrate how much you value your family and friends by pouring time and love into your holiday greetings. Everyone is busy around the holidays, and a hand-made card, a gift you put together yourself, or just a little extra care with the gift wrapping stands-out.
DIY Cards
Handmade cards can be simple or elaborate, time-consuming or a quick project. Whatever style you go with, when people recognize that you made the cards yourself, the note inside seems even more special than usual. You can buy pre-folded cards to give you a jump-start at any craft store, and they're usually packaged with matching envelopes.
Christmas card ideas pull colors and motifs from winter and holiday decorations. Check your local craft store for holiday-theme papers and embellishments, or get online and look for some festive green, red and white decorations. Our red ladybugs pop against a white card background, and our white or green butterflies, flowers, and dragonflies are cute embellishments for cards with colored papers. Remember to take cards made with 3-D embellishments to the post office when you're ready to mail them and ask that the cards be hand-canceled.
Gifts In A Jar
One of the most versatile gift ideas involves packaging your gift in a mason jar. They're a compact gift that's easy to transport and give, and which you can personalize however you want. Gift in a jar ideas often include foods, like baking mixes or powdered drinks, or spa items like a peppermint sugar scrub or mini-spa gift set.
Whatever you choose to put in the jar, you can jazz up the packaging using ribbons and Bugs-n-Blooms decorations. All our mini decorations work great for adorning small gifts like mason jars. Wrap a decorative ribbon around the jar and attach tiny insects and flowers, perch one on the lid of the jar, or glue a 1-inch butterfly to the name label.
Gift Wrapping
When you're packaging larger gifts, you can still add customization on the gift tag or the wrapping. One cute idea is to use a size-small decoration in place of a gift bow on larger packages. Make sure the recipient knows the decoration is part of the gift since it can be re-used as a tree ornament or wall decoration in the home year-round.
You can make gift tags using much the same method as card making. If you cut the tags out of cardstock and decorate them yourself, you can get tags exactly the size and shape you want. For something easier, download gift tag templates and then all you'll have to do is print the tags, cut them out and add embellishments like glittery crystals or mini butterflies.

Pretty good dry kibble. Cats liked it.
Pros: Cats ate it up. Well balanced nutrition
Cons: Hard to find except online.
I got a bag of this when my homemade food ingredients came in late. My cats didn't mind it. They ate about the same as the kibble I usually get, which is surprising because they are very picky.

Not that bad? Bloody clothes in the river is not that bad? Alrighty. Personally, I think I'd prefer not knowing I had a child than thinking my child was bloodied and dead in a river. But that's just me.

Saturday: Birthday bash and Big Easy unite at downtown's Pistache
- 1:31 pm Thursday, May 19th, 2016 by M.M. Cloutier
Pack your bags and stay awhile.
That's the sort of suggestion that almost applies to downtown West Palm Beach's Pistache French Bistro this weekend.
First, you'll figuratively want to pack your backs because the popular Clematis Street restaurant is headed to New Orleans via a special Big Easy menu and live jazz.
And second, you'll want to stay a while for those reasons—plus a celebration of Pistache's birthday.
Saturday marks both Pistache's 8th birthday and the kickoff of the restaurant's annual Tour du Monde series featuring monthly themed nights that highlight the cuisine, sights and sounds of different destinations.
Tour du Monde's first stop: New Orleans.

©1968 Charles Portis; (P)2006 Recorded Books, LLC
"Charles Portis is perhaps the most original, indescribable sui generis talent overlooked by literary culture in America." (Esquire)
"Tom Wolfe, who worked with Portis as a reporter at the New York Herald-Tribune in the early 1960s called him – the original laconic cutup. A generation of novelists since then have simply regarded him as a writers-writer and have made his name a sort of secret password. Soon, they'll no longer have him to themselves." (Rolling Stone Magazine)
"Like Mark Twain's Huckleberry Finn and Thomas Berger's Little Big Man, Charles Portis's True Grit captures the nanve elegance of the American voice." (Jonathan Lethem)
Say something about yourself!
"A Grand Slam!"
I doubt that I can add much after over two thousand reviews, but I just wanted to add my 'vote of approval' for this book.
I've seen the John Wayne movie as well as the remake a few years ago. I enjoyed both of them. But as it so often the case, the movies do not live up to the book. I originally ordered this book because I like an occasional western genre book. I soon discovered that it's really pushing it to call this a western genre book. "True Grit" invokes the classic 'quest', 'coming of age' and also the 'great American hero' genres. I feel confident one could adapt the plot and general sequence of events to a host of settings other than the west or rural America.
It is such a classic story and so incredibly well written. It gives you just the right balance of drama, excitement, humor and also just a little bit of improbable magic towards the end. The exceptional thing about the unfolding of the work is that all three central characters end up with 'true grit', but perhaps none as much as the the 14 year old girl, Mattie.
It would be difficult to explain just how great the narrator is in this audio book. I'd put her reading of "True Grit" right up there with some of the best of the late Frank Mueller. There is no higher compliment than that.
If you're at least on the fence about this book, get it!
The Book Snob for Paris Life Magazine.
"Still One of the Best"
What's not to love about a stubborn young girl who explodes off the page and a rotten old Marshall joined up to do justice to an outlaw hiding out in the territory? Not a word wasted, this is not just entertaining, but a shining example of master craft.
"Good story, great performance"
I had never read the book but liked both movies. I downloaded the book for a road-trip and listened to the whole thing in two sittings. The storyline is straight foreword but paints a vivid picture of the old west through the reminiscent eyes of an old spinster. The narrator, with her accent, was a perfect choice for this story.
This is a great piece of American literature, I would recommend it to anyone who has never read it before.
Tell us about yourself!
"Not just for Western lovers!"
For my first Audible Western I chose True Grit. I have not seen the movies but have heard what the story is about. I was not disappointed. This was a simple but well told story of a young 14 year old girl out to avenge her fathers death. I could imagine John Wayne as "Rooster" Cogburn with the eye patch and everything.
Donna Tartt did an outstanding job with Mattie Ross, who is after all, the one telling the story. She handled the accents well and her voicing of the men was acceptable when taking into account that the story is being told by a teenage girl.
I really enjoyed listening to this book. The story held my interest throughout and moved along well. I might just have to expand my choices to include some western style stories
"Great Listening Experience!"
You know what the book is about. You know how it ends. You know Charles Portis is a rustic, comic genius. Donna Tartt brings this book to life. The Coen brothers' movie is great, however, I'd listen to Donna Tartt read this book as soon as see the movie again. She is that good!
"Well Worth It"
A a kid I never enjoyed John Wayne's movies. It was not until the latest version of the movie True Grit was released (and which I enjoyed tremendously) that I went back and saw the John Wayne version and then had to get the book.
This is a wonderful tale. And although the narrator did have some deficits (I also did not like her male voices that much and noticed the swallowing and such), she had Mattie's voice dead-on perfect! As explained in her wonderful essay at the end, she was a brilliant choice for the job.
This is well worth the credit. Enjoy.
"Great book, narration could be better"
I did not read a review of this book because I had seen the John Wayne movie and I knew it was a good story. Five minutes into listening to this book I had to stop and read the reviews to see if anyone else had noticed the breathing, swallowing, and pausing of the narrator. I found it very distracting. I see others have criticized her ability to do male voices. I liked the narrators read for Mattie but her male characters voices are very similar to each other and it seemed as though sometimes she forgot who she was voicing because it would change from sentence to sentence. I am in the middle of the book and am enjoying it, but i think it would be better with a different narrator or or maybe a different recording setup.
I can find a book to love in any genre -- a beautifully written classic, an interesting mystery or sci-fi, a trashy romance. Bring it!
"Average story marred by poor narration"
STORY (western fiction) - You probably saw the movie with John Wayne playing U.S. Marshal Rooster Cogburn. Mattie Ross, a young teenager, hires him to help find the man who killed her father. As they meander together through the wild west, it becomes hard to tell which of them possesses the most "true grit."
I know this is a beloved story that has withstood the test of time, but I found it pretty slow. Mattie is smart and spunky, and she manages to hold her own with men several times her age. I liked her character and I liked watching her relationship develop with Rooster, but I often found my mind wandering. It gets pretty exciting at the end, but I didn't care for the death of a sweet animal and I didn't like the part with the snakes. I hate snakes!
I don't know why the author failed to use contractions in this book, but it seemed strange to constantly hear "I can not" and "I am not," as opposed to "can't" and "ain't." Similarly, I don't understand the use of "said he" or "said I" as opposed to "he said" or "I said." It all sounded kind of stilted for a work of western fiction.
PERFORMANCE - This female narrator had an age-appropriate voice for Mattie and gave her a cute southern accent, but the performance goes downhill from there. She made a valiant attempt to perform various cowboy-type characters, but most of them sounded pretty awful. Her tempo wasn't constant, and some characters spoke painfully slow. And don't get me started about all the lip smacking as she opened and closed her mouth! I know I'm in the minority here about this performance...
OVERALL - (Actual overall rating 2.5) There is no sex or cursing. There is the type of action and shootouts one would expect of cowboy fiction. This book would probably be best for guys or gals from about 13 to adult, although I personally am not a big fan.
So Many Books, So Little Time
Mattie Ross is one of the strongest and most pure voices in American literature. She has grit and gumption and, yet, is sweetly vulnerable at the same time. I had read this book some years back but when I learned that Donna Tartt performed an audio version of it I was eager to hear it. Tartt did such a wonderful job of narrating her own books that I was sure this would be wonderful and it was.
There's nothing I can say about Mattie that hasn't been said a hundred times before. She is, as Tartt points out in her epilogue, a combination of Huck Finn, Captain Ahab, and Dorothy Gale with, I would add, a little bit of Scout Finch thrown in for good measure. This was a real treat.
"Especially Well Read"
The book was very entertaining. The reader did a wonderful job. The story is written such that it makes you wonder from time to time if it is real or not.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
Anthony Grifoni
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
Steph Mundell
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
Andrew Mitsi
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
Simon Harriott
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

All of the write-ups are fabulous. Again, I can't tell you how wonderful and amazing you all were to work with. Megan was able to let her creative talent explode and her efforts, combined with you and your talented staff made this an incredible experience for all involved.
Thank you,
Suzy Powell
Beautiful wedding! I love the bride's birdhouse churches….so many unique beautiful details.
Hi! Beautiiful!!
I'm also thinking about having games at my wedding and one of them being the bean bag toss! (Not sure on the official name) Did you design those yourslf? Please give me some tips! My fiance and I are quite crafty as well.
<3 thanks
Could you tell me where the bride got the vintage skeleton keys from? A friend of mine is planning a "vintage chic" wedding and wants to incorporate skeleton keys in to her favors. She'll need about 120, so we're searching for ideas of places to buy that many keys at not too much of a cost. Ideas are greatly welcomed. Thanks.
I saw this and couldn't help but tear up a bit… I could almost see my wedding! I haven't been able to find anything to fit the "country chic" motif I had in my head until now. Megan is a GENIUS! These pictures are fabulous and everything looks amazing. Great job! I got inspired to design my own favors (since the "perfect" ones do not exist) 🙂 Thanks sooo much for the inspiration!

Add Garcelle Beauvais to the lengthy list of celebrities with children's books. The "Franklin & Bash" actress is working on a three-book series for kids called "I Am" that is centered on identity issues like divorce and mixed ethnicities.
The first book, "I Am Mixed," will follow a brother and sister as they contend with their mixed racial identity. The second book will likely draw on Beauvais' personal experience as a child of divorce and an adult who's experienced divorce firsthand.
A statement released yesterday says that Garcelle Beauvais' books are meant to "address identity issues relevant to many children today." Do you think her words will resonate with modern kids?

Manual (Denmark denizen Jonas Munk) began at the tender age of 20 as a wunderkind of laptop pop, and right away he developed a sound as tropical, ethereal, and insignificant as the palm trees and burnished yellows that keep showing up on his album covers. Very little separates his best record (Ascend, 2002) from his worst one (Azure Vista, 2005, or maybe this) except time. So when he changed course on Confluence in 2008, it came as quite the shock. Hardly a groundbreaker, Confluence gave us real lushness and spaciousness rather than smashing a vacation postcard in our faces, and it appeared to be inspired by rain, not the blinding sun, for once.
While that record was a (belated) step forward in Manual's artistic development, Drowned in Light is a swift yank in the opposite direction, another brick in the wall of wimpy releases by Morr Music and Darla Records. He's back to processed guitars, echoed beats, and the Korg's 'nostalgia' button, housed in songs that are short on ideas and long on length. Manual does seem to have micromanaged the atmosphere even further than before. Unfortunately, this only increases the music's perfect dullness. It was meant to evoke the lazy days of summer; instead it evokes the feeling you get when you're dehydrated on the beach wearing too much sunscreen. Paying attention to Drowned in Light gives me an instant exhaustion headache.
If I were forced to identify a new concept thrown into the cauldron, it would be a hint of kosmische musik most prominent on "Phainomenon" and "Blood Sun". It's an unexciting rip-off of that genre, but at least it's something. Manual is 30 now, and he seems utterly terrified of trying new things. How about vocals? Or a kick-drum? Or a bunch of circus animals running through the studio as he's feeding his ten thousandth guitar riff into his computer? His beachy, gauzy contemporaries (Lone and Benoît Pioulard, for two) are far surpassing him, and his sound is dating faster than the VCR. There is no compelling reason to throw down money for Drowned in Light if you're familiar with any of his records. Until his catalogue quits sounding like a giant Ulrich Schnauss b-side, Ascend and Confluence are all the Manual you need.

Semisynthesis and Application of Carboxyfluorescein-Labelled Biologically Active Human Interleukin-8
Citation Information: Biological Chemistry. Volume 384, Issue 12, Pages 1619–1630, ISSN (Print) 1431-6730, DOI: 10.1515/BC.2003.180, June 2005
Publication History

- 2005-06-01
Human interleukin 8 (hIL-8), a neutrophil-activating and chemotactic cytokine, is known to play an important role in the pathogenesis of a large number of neutrophil-driven inflammatory diseases. This cytokine belongs to the family of CXC chemokines, mediating the response through binding to the seventransmembrane helical G protein-coupled receptors CXCR1 and CXCR2. For the first time, we employed the expressed protein ligation (EPL) strategy to chemokine synthesis and subsequent modification. The ligation site was chosen with respect to the position of four cysteine residues within the hIL-8 sequence. Ligation with synthetic peptides that carry cysteine at their N-termini resulted in fulllength hIL-8 and the specifically carboxyfluoresceinlabelled analogue [K69(CF)]hIL-8(1 77). [K69(CF)]hIL-8(1-77) was fully active as shown by inhibition of cAMP production. Furthermore, this analogue was used to study receptor internalisation in human promyelotic HL60 cells that express CXCR1 and CXCR2 receptors. Binding and quenching studies were performed on HL60 membranes and suggest that the Cterminus of IL-8 is accessible to solvent in the receptor-bound state. Thus, we introduce here a powerful approach that allows the site-specific incorporation of chemical modifications into the sequence of chemokines, which opens new avenues for studying IL-8 function.
