PETER Harvey, the journalist with the 'voice of God' who has been a loved and trusted face of Australian television news for almost 40 years, has died with his family by his bedside. He was 68.
Harvey was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in October but was positive to the end, telling an interviewer that he would hang on to the possibility that "things are going to be better, not worse".
"I don't want worries about my day ruining my tomorrows," he said.
One of Harvey's greatest achievements was that the Australian public admired and trusted him so profoundly, Nine chief executive David Gyngell said in an emotional tribute to the legendary broadcaster.
"It's the saddest of days for all of us because Peter Harvey has been such a huge and indelible part of the history and fabric of the Nine Network for close on 40 years," Mr Gyngell said.
"He is a legend in the true sense of the word, now and always, in this place.
"We have lost not only a wonderful old school journalist of shining integrity but a fantastic storyteller and simply a great human being and a close friend.
"Our deepest sympathies and love go out to his wife Anne and to their children Claire and Adam - both proud journos just like their dad."
Harvey's family said he was "comfy and smiling" with his wife holding his hand at the end.
Nine legend Laurie Oakes said Peter Harvey was a fierce competitor when they worked for rival networks and a valued colleague in the 13 years they spent together in the Nine Network's Canberra Bureau.
"He has been called 'a journalist's journalist', and there was truth in that, but he had the knack of explaining quite complex issues in language everybody could understand," Oakes said.
"Peter was best known for his time in Canberra where he covered politics with distinction and earned the respect of politicians from all parties.
"But he was extraordinarily versatile - a war correspondent before his long stint in the national capital and then turning his hand to everything from showbiz to crime reporting to commentary for 60 Minutes after transferring to Sydney in 1997.
"He was a talented broadcaster, able to ad lib material where most of us would need a script.
"One of the things I most admired about him was the way he mentored younger colleagues. Peter's was a generous spirit. He's a real loss to journalism."
Tributes to the 68-year-old Walkley Award-winner poured in as he fought his last battle with pancreatic cancer.
Prime Minister Julia Gillard said the distinguished newsman had a "reputation for authority and truth telling" and she tweeted: "Huge hugs ... thoughts are with you and your family."
Sixty Minutes reporter Liz Hayes and broadcasters Karl Stefanovic, John Mangos and Ben Fordham were among
media personalities who sent their best wishes to the man known simply as "Harves".
Sky's Kieran Gilbert said: "The best writer of a TV yarn, the best voice and an absolute gentleman."
Hugh Riminton told him: "You're the storytellers' storyteller and the best of men".
Australians took to Twitter to pass on their best wishes to the veteran newsman.
Harvey announced his cancer diagnosis in October last year after falling ill on a trip to Italy where he was celebrating his 45th wedding anniversary with his wife Anne but he worked on even as he fought his illness.
Nine's news director Darren Wick said:
"We all love him. He's a great colleague, a mentor to so many young reporters and producers, a wonderful storyteller and a terrific person to have around the place."
Harvey tweeted that his trip to Italy was great with the highlight a "speedboat ride to Venice hospital!"
The trusted newsman, renowned for the "Peter Harvey, Canberra" sign-off he made famous when based in the national capital, was with the Nine Network from 1975 and recently presented the mailbag segment on 60 Minutes as well as being a reporter on Nine News and a regular contributor on Today.
Harvey did his journalism cadetship with the The Daily Telegraph in Sydney, winning a Walkley Award in 1964.
He later worked with London's The Guardian newspaper where he received the British Reporter of the Year Award and with the American Newsweek magazine as a reporter in Vietnam during the Vietnam War.
Harvey was Nine's news director in Canberra for many years covering countless historical events including the Whitlam dismissal of 1975.
Harvey has covered politics, wars, and human tragedy, and has been a mentor to generations of journalists.
"One of the funny things is that I'm getting kids aged 18 and 19 coming up to me and saying, 'would you say Peter Harvey, Canberra' for me, you know?" he recently told the ABC. "I left Canberra in '97!"
His children, of whom he was extremely proud, have followed in his footsteps.
Claire Harvey is the deputy editor of The Sunday Telegraph, and Adam Harvey is a journalist with ABC's 7.30.
Claire said her father thanked the public for their good wishes during his last days.
She tweeted a thankyou for people's "kind messages" and said her father received great care at Sydney's Royal North Shore Hospital.
His colleagues said Australian journalism won't be the same without him.
"We lose a character," said Ray Martin.
Long-time friend and Nine Network colleague Peter Overton said: "We lose a fine storyteller.
"He came into the lounge rooms of so many families across Australia."
Peter Harvey is survived by his wife, Anne, his children Claire and Adam, and his grandson Rory.

Home Depot Traffic Master by Allure Ungluing
Do not buy and tell them why. Wonderful idea great product easy to install but the glue does not hold the strips together (important to follow instructions using a pressure roller).
Home Depot inspected the ungluing strips and acknowledges the problem with Allure Traffic Master but we have no response from Allure or replacement for the 35 boxes and labor we paid to have laid.
October thru Dec 2007 no returned calls and we have been very courteous but Home Depot does not care, at least in Sierra Vista Arizona.:furious:
sorry to hear about that.
Trafficemaster Allure Vinyl Flooring--BAD Experience!!
Just wanted to share our horrible experience with this product to spare others the heartache and frustration we have had this past year. First the seams lifted, which eventually led to Halstead (the manufacturer) refunding our total amount spent on this product. Then upon removal of the product, we found solid MOLD growing under the flooring!! We had installed it in a "dry" walkout basement which is actually a foot above grade/ground level. We had carpet and padding down for 7 years with no moisture/mold issues. Now our cement subfloor has been compromised, and even after cleaning with bleach and water 3 times, we are still told by professionals to seal it with a mold inhibitor paint to prevent any mold spores that are still in the cement from growing in the future. In my opinion, based on our experience, this product has a flaw in it's application for use. It seems to set up conditions for moisture to be trapped and breed mold. You don't have this issue with carpet as it breathes, and you don't have this issue with traditional vinyl because it is glued completely to the subfloor or sealed around the perimeter. This product doesn't require any floor prep in it's install and it doesn't seal out air with any type of gluing down of the floor. In my opinion this allows air and moisture to be trapped under the vinyl, and presto! you have a science project growing in your home! I feel we were lucky to have the seam lifting issue which led to us removing the flooring from our home after only 8 months....what if we had left it for 5 years...can you imagine the mold levels that might have existed then?! Contact me if you want pictures!!!
i put down 400 sq ft of traffic master allure flooring. installation was a breeze and everything looked great until we had a little water seep into our basement because of a heavy rainfall. moisture would constantly seep up through the seams and after consistent drying and stepping down the seams, the glue would come through and dry and the floor would look like crap. then the seams nolonger would stick and i have turned up planks all over. did the hairdryer thing to no avail. i would take a scraper to all the dried glue, vacume everything up, step down all the raised seams, floor looks good, two days later, floor looks like crap, same thing dried glue on all the seams and buckling all over. i havent yet went back at home depot yet, but will. koneteco sounds intiguing same installation process but am worried about the glue factor, right now am not too concerned about the wear factor and mil. thickness because i was fairly satissfied with the floor after i got it down. if konetico is manufactured at the same plant as allure, wont i have the same problem. HELP.
Get to HD sooner than later. Each passing month will make them less sympathetic to your cause. Time is on their side not yours. Be polite, state the facts and let them know you would appreciate their help, while letting them know you expect their help, if that makes sense.
Don't go in with the I spend 80 grand a year. I think there is a hidden trigger in those words that makes all ASM's tune you out.:yes:
Hope I'm not the expeditor you'll be dealing with. I don't want any more problems. :mad:
Seriously though. The 1 and only complain I had with the company was dealt with brilliantly. Customer is happy.
LOL @ at expecting any customer service at home dope
BTW search Konecto
same issues
I as a retailer have had the same job fail TWICE
nice product :laughing:
I would love to see pics! I was in Home Dept. today to buy a plant and just happen to see the flooring and thought it was real wood floors untill I picked up the sample. The lady that worked there said that it was a great sale, etc.... my husbad and I are wantinf to get for the whole house (2,600 sqft). however, I'm having 2nd thoughts after reading your post. Also, did you get ALL of your money back and how long did it take?
I've had the Allure flooring installed at work and so far it looks great! Any suggestions on the best way to clean it? I've just used a dry dust mop but some of the scuff marks in the high traffic areas concern me and I don't want to damage the surface by using a harsh cleaner.
Get the prestige line as other say! It's sooo much better!
Same product!
Same seam strip adhesive!
Same failures!
Good times folks!
but.. It has aluminom oxide finish and a better wear layer! Only problem is it will separate again, and again, and again.
More money for our Konecto pusher AKA "26 yrs in flooring"
but.. It has aluminom oxide finish and a better wear layer! Only problem is it will separate again, and again, and again.
Really? Every time? Are you sure of that? Or are you just making it up cause 26yr is just rubbing you the wrong way?
I have the Konecto not Allure
I think it may have been easier to go with the cheaper Allure. Home Depot seems easier to work with. I have been getting nowhere with a Konecto claim for over 2 months. It was not in my opinion worth the extra $6,000 dollars for a "superior product".
Not all products suceed 100% of the time and not all fail 100% of the time.
But without a doubt my flooring is ugly and it did FAIL. :furious:
no, I have said many times above grade installs would be fine for konecto
below grade or over concrete slabs is an absolute death wish waiting to happen.
Google Konecto/allure failures my friends
do your own research
Konecto is just fine for below grade installations on concrete. Actually it's the perfect product for it.
Google the other way (good results) and check those out too.
Get all info and make an informed decision.
Look only one way and you will get hit by a car dude.

How I Could Just Kill a Goat!
December 30, 2012 by Leave a Comment
Recently, my wife and I had our first child, a baby boy we named Mustafa, on Nov. 20th, 2012. In the Islamic faith it is custom, but not a requirement to perform an Aqiqah or sacrifice of a goat(s) to thank God for the blessing of a new child in the family. In our tradition, 1 goat is sacrificed for a girl and 2 goats are sacrificed for a boy. These are only the suggested minimums set by our Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), who lived during a time when female infants were buried alive by Non-Muslim … [Read more...]

I have deactivated with Redsnow every day since and they (3) ip4 iphones won't unlock. My sister-in-law called on her old iphones only hours before I did and I was able to get hers unlocked within 24 hours. Her 3GS I just turned off Ultrasnow and put in a t-mobile sim and itunes activated it. Her ip4 was not jailbroken, but I deactivated it with redsnow and put in the t-mobile sim and again itunes activated it and unlocked. My other ip4 (3) won't unlock yet. I've been checking every day. I don't know why mine are taking so long and hers were so quick. She has an AT&T account and I don't.
I called CSR and told them I brought an iPhone 4 32g out of contract full price to use on my girlfriends line and now I want it unlocked to use for travel she then ask for the IMEI and the next day I had the confirmation email. Side note brought the phone of Craig's list the day before I places the call lol
Wow, I can't believe AT&T also unlocked my iPhone 4S. Awesome!!!
My Iphone has been unlocked and SAM De-activate worked like a charm!!
I hope this helps. Avoid a restore whenever you can!
Sweet! Im calling now to see if im eligible.

Video: Shortage of pizza makers in … Italy?
posted at 10:48 am on May 11, 2013 by Ed Morrissey
This is a curious story, and not just for the obvious irony:
Italy has a massive unemployment problem. So why do they need immigrants to flood into the country in order to meet the pizza demand? Is this "a job Italians won't do," or is it a sign of perverse incentives that make being unemployed more attractive than working in a pizzeria? Is it because it costs too much to hire, for tax and regulatory reasons? I'm genuinely puzzled, and not just because my first job was working in a pizza shop. It's not that awful to make pizzas.
By the way, I agree with the American tourists interviewed in the spot. With only a couple of exceptions, the pizza in Italy (or Rome, at least) is superior to most of what one finds in the US.

- About Glaciers
- Glacial retreat world-wide
- Consequences
- Further Information and References
There are likely to be significant and widespread consequences of glacial retreat and of the disappearance of glaciers. Many people across the world are dependent upon glaciers for water, energy, and safety. Additionally, many organisms, ecosystems, and ecosystem processes are reliant upon glaciers. Dr. Phil Porter of the University of Hertfordshire sums it up well when he says "There is a short-term danger of too much water coming out… and a greater long-term danger of there not being enough" (McKie, 2005).
Glaciers store about 75% of the world's freshwater. Some mountain cities and the surrounding regions are dependent upon glacier runoff for their freshwater supply (USGS, 2005), such as in South America. The Andes Mountains in South America are home to 70% of the world.s tropical glaciers, which provide water for drinking, agriculture, and hydropower for 30 million people (ESN, 2008). Quito, Ecuador, for example, draws 50% of its water supply from the Antizana and Cotopaxi glacier basins. La Paz, Bolivia draws 30% of its water supply from the same basins (Vergara et al., 2007). However, these glaciers are rapidly dwindling.
In some areas of Asia and the Andes increased glacial runoff has translated into more water in the areas' rivers. However, once the glaciers diminish, their hydrologic inputs will disappear as well. Many of the towns in the Andes region have already felt the impacts of water shortages for drinking water and agriculture. In El Alto, Bolivia, Vergara et al. (2007) mention "…water supply is now just about enough to meet demand during dry season." Despite projects to help with water supply, demand for water will outstrip supply in the La Paz-El Alto area by 2009. Quito, Ecuador is scheduled to run into serious water shortages by 2015 (Tehran Times, 2007). Additionally, crops have had to be relocated to higher areas that receive more water from the glacier, but that have poorer soil, limiting their yield. Domesticated animals such as alpaca are also suffering from lack of food, resulting in decreasing wool production. Where once the townspeople could rely on their own production, now they must buy fertilizer and other supplies (World Bank, 2008).
A report from the National Meteorology and Hydrology Service of Peru has found that Andean glaciers have lost 20% of their volume since 1970 (World Bank, 2008). Some, like the Chacaltaya glacier in Bolivia, have already lost up to 99% of their volume (World Bank, 2008). Scientists have predicted that the Andes will be glacier-free by mid-century (Tehran Times, 2007). In a 2007 interview, Walter Vergara, who was the lead author of the 2007 World Bank report and who also is the Bank.s lead climatologist, stated "All these ecosystems are changing very quickly. In fact, every year they change at a faster pace, which has all of us very alarmed" (Tehran Times, 2007).
A number of countries are highly dependent upon its glaciers and glacial runoff for energy production. In the Andes region, hydropower supplies 81% of Peru's electricity, 73% of Colombia's, 72% of Ecuador's, and 50% of Bolivia's (World Bank, 2008). In India, 50% of hydroelectric power is generated by runoff from Himalayan glaciers (Kargel, et al., 2002). Glacial runoff supplies hydropower for 50% of Switzerland's electricity as well (Paul et al., 2007). All of these countries face billions of dollars worth of investment in infrastructure to accommodate new types and sources of energy production, some of which release more greenhouse gases than hydroelectricity.
|Figure 4. "Contributions of GIC, Greenland, and Antarctic Ice Sheets to present-day rate of sea-level rise (s.l.r.), along with their respective volumes and areas." Image credit: Meier et al., Science, 2007.
Humans will not be the only losers when it comes to depleted glacial runoff. "These changes are likely to have significant, widespread consequences for the fauna of alpine stream ecosystems," Brown et al. state in a 2007 report, "…it may be impossible to prevent the loss of species adapted to meltwater stream conditions as climate warms and snowpacks and glaciers shrink." Plants, animals, and other organisms that are strongly influenced by the hydrologic impacts of glacial ecosystems will suffer as river channel stability, water temperature, and suspended sediment load are drastically altered due to changes wrought by glacial wastage in meltwater contributions and valley geomorphology (Brown et al., 2007). Additionally, glacial runoff feeds a number of rivers and lakes, thereby serving significant purposes in the area ecosystems, as well as in general ecosystem processes. As glaciers disappear, the benefits of glacial systems and inputs of glacial runoff will likewise evaporate.
Because of rapid glacial melting and wasting, an increasing number of avalanches and floods have been occurring. Ice avalanches from steep or hanging glaciers, such as the 1996 avalanche from Gutz Glacier near Grindelwald, Switzerland, cause infrastructure damage and injury. Much more hazardous are glacial lake outburst floods (also called GLOFs or Jökulhlaups) which occur when glacial melt is dammed by unstable moraines at the terminus. The failure of this dam due to volcanic eruption, erosion, water pressure, avalanches or calving, or earthquakes, results in the release of the water in the glacial lake.
Glacial lake outburst floods have occurred across the world and at many scales. At the end of the last ice age, massive glacial outburst floods occurred, such as the Missoula Floods, which created the Columbia River Basin. The number of glacial lake outburst floods, however, has been increasing during the second half of the 20th century according to UNEP. A 2005 report in Nature indicated there has been a 10-fold increase in the number of glacial outburst floods over the past two decades alone. These floods are incredibly devastating, and result in economic losses as well as casualties. In 1985, water released from the Dig Tsho Lake in Nepal destroyed 14 bridges and caused $1.5 million in damage to a hydropower plant downstream. More recently, in 1994 an outburst at Luggye Tsho, 90km upstream from Punakha in Bhutan caused massive flooding and erosion on the Pho Chhu River, destroyed many buildings in the town, and resulted in 21 casualties (McKie, 2005). Accelerated glacial retreat due to climate change is already raising the likelihood and imminence of these types of catastrophes, especially in areas like the Alps, Andes, and Himalayas.
According to the IPCC's 2007 report, "The most important cryospheric contributions to sea level variations arise from changes in the ice on land (e.g., glaciers, ice caps, and ice sheets)." In a 2007 study, Meier et al. agree, stating "Ice loss to the sea currently accounts for virtually all of the sea-level rise that is not attributable to ocean warming." According to Meier et al. (2007), however, about 60% (see Figure 4) of the ice loss is from glaciers and ice caps rather than from the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets.
Since 1961, total global sea level rise has been 3.1 ± 0.7 mm/year (Meier et al., 2007). Of that total, the IPCC (2007) points to glaciers as contributing about 0.50 ± 0.18 mm per year during the period between 1961 and 2003. During that period, the contributions to sea level rise of these glaciers accelerated — the rate increased to an average of 0.77 ± 0.22 mm per year from 1993 to 2003 (IPCC, 2007). As mentioned earlier, the largest glacial mass losses have been observed in Patagonia, Alaska, the northwest U.S., and southwest Canada. Therefore, the biggest contributions to sea level rise since the IPCC's Third Assessment Report in 2001 have come from Alaska, the Arctic, and Asia. (IPCC, 2007) (See Figure 5). According to Meier et al. (2007), this increase is "in part due to marked thinning and retreat of marine-terminating glaciers associated with a dynamic instability that is generally not considered in mass-balance and climate modeling." The study predicts that accelerating rates of glacial melt may lead to an additional 0.1 to 0.25 meter of additional sea level rise by 2100 above the IPCC projections (Meier et al., 2007). Luthcke et al. (2008) estimated that the glaciers draining into the Gulf of Alaska were responsible for 0.23mm/year of global sea level rise between 2003 and 2007.

Mean specific mass balance shows the strength of climate change in the respective region. Total mass balance is the contribution from each region to sea level rise."

Finding the right headwear for cold weather is one of the hardest things about outdoor winter workouts; it's so easy to choose the wrong material or the wrong thickness, leaving you overheated, sweaty and/or itchy before you even hit your stride. Because I get warm so quickly when I run, I'm always tempted to go without head coverage--but after a few attempts, I realize that it's insane, and downright unsafe, to brave 30-and-below temps without protecting my ears. Whether you're running, hiking or just hiking home from yoga class (and want to look chic!) we've got an option for you.
Here are a few of my favorite solutions that'll keep you warm–but not too warm–whether you're running, hiking, or just dashing home from yoga class. And heads up: You'll look adorable in all of these, too!
1. Eminence Winter Headband by Under Armor
Except on the coldest of days, I'll opt for a headband that covers my ears but still allows heat to escape from the top of my head. My latest favorite is Under Armour's Eminence Winter Headband ($20; underarmor.com), which has a cute, turban-like twist in the front and warm, wicking sweater knit around the inside in a downright cheeky fair-isle print.
2. Winter Sports Beanie by Aerial7
If you like to rock out while you work out, you'll love the Winter Sports Beanie from Aerial7 ($45; aerial7.com) that features built-in, super-thin speaker disks. Because safety should always come first, I recommend wearing the disks partially behind your ears, rather than directly over them, so you can still hear what's going on around you. The best part? This baby can even fit under a helmet, so it'll work for cycling, skiing or snowboarding, too.
3. Lululemon Sweatband
Wear this stretchy, stylish Lululemon sweatband ($18) during your workout or just to and from the gym–it'll keep your hair out of your face, your ears warm, and your girlfriends totally jealous. I mean, how freaking adorable does the Lululemon model (at left) look?
4. TrailHeads Goodbye Girl Explorer Cap
TrailHeads is a great place to look for all kinds of hats and headbands with ponytail holes so you can rock a cap sans bump in the back. And although I've got no need for that feature [Ed. note: She's got an adorable pixie cut], I'm a huge fan of the Goodbye Girl Explorer Cap ($26; trailheads.com), with a ponytail hole and fold-down ear flaps, made with polyester sweater knit that'll keep you warm on long winter walks. The hat is also pretty street-chic, too.
5. Stella Beanie
I haven't actually tried out this exact model in person, but I have an older version of Black Diamond's signature knit hat and it's seriously the only beanie I can wear while running (it's 100% acrylic) and that I actually think looks cute on me. This newer one, the Stella Beanie ($25; blackdiamondequipment.com) is reversible, to boot!

Actually I never check Top Authors. When I like something I just buy it. I don't care how many sales an author has.
So, just keep uploading nice items and you will have more sales…
miroslavzv said
Im a frequent buyer here and I have got little idea about rating. What about simply add pop-up if you click on download item link where will be "hey buddy, thank you for downloading file-name . Please do not forget to rate the item". It will be great for autor and other buyers to rate her/him item :)". And about one start rating. If someone put one star or 3 star rating there will be a form where stays why are you discontented with the item you purchased. Simply as hell, but it can be here in year 2050 ^^
I don't think that this is a good idea. The buyers should rate the items after 1-2 days of the purchase. They can't rate an item before using it on their site!
I think that a notification for every item on their dashboard (as ABdev said) is the best idea. But, they must not have the option to delete/hide this notification until they rate the item!
Edit: The buyers should also leave a comment for the rating. For example why they rated the item with 1, 3 or 5 stars.

Just done this, thanks mate
You are welcome and good luck with your new theme
TommusRhodus said
Just had a buyer contact me saying that he's getting the Envato error page when trying to purchase Milli, is anyone else having these issues? This is a full working day for me now that it seems no one can buy my theme and that I can't edit the theme description.
I think that you have to upload the files again! I had the same problem when I couldn't edit the description. The buyers couldn't download the new version or purchase it.
Let them know via Twitter or reply to the email they sent you about the problem with the description (if they have replied).
I had the same problem a few weeks ago with two of my items. Just give them some time to fix it…
I think that Envato Support means:
You can upload a theme/template in e.g. Blog/Magazine category and then release a second version of this theme which has the same design but it was built for eCommerce sites.
For example, it has "Advanced Integration" of WooCommerce plugin and focuses on eCommerce sites instead of the first version which focuses on Blog/Magazine sites.
I think that there is no problem with this. For example, there are buyers who want just a basic theme and buyers who want more features (e.g. WooCommerce) and they can pay for them.
So, "lite" version is for buyers who want just the basic features and "full" version is for buyers who want more.

Doing all of the doodling, scrapping, painting, stitching, and designing pages for my art journal for The Documented Life Project has given me lots of opportunities to try some new artistic techniques. Still have lots more that I'm looking forward to learning, but I always return to creating designs using a collage technique, and usually including lots of vintage images, buttons, ribbons, fibers, and anything else I can fit onto a page.
One thing that I've done before in my girls' scrapbooks is to include a fold-out page (occasionally, because if you do it TOO often your book will be so fat you won't be able to close it!) so that I can create a double two-page layout. This is especially effective if you have a lot of pictures from the same event that you want to include and keep them all together.
For the art journal, this is called a "tip-in" although mine always seem to "tip-out." But the point is to include something inside the book that opens separately or in addition to each page, so sometimes there are "tip-ins" that open open up like a flap that is hinged at the top, or a multi-opening "tip-in" with flaps going every which way!
By combining the vintage collage technique with the "tip-in," I was able to create two regular pages which opened up to two more pages each, so I actually got to design SIX pages for this project!
It was quite easy to prepare these pages for the "tip-in" – I just took two sheets of card stock and folded them in half (so that they were the same size as the pages in my art journal), and glued one on each of the "regular" pages so that they would open up from the center of the journal. That way I could embellish the top page on each side, then open each side up and embellish the inside of each page.
On the outside pages I used a print of vintage writing that I ripped diagonally for the upper left corner, combined with vintage wallpaper print scrapbook paper on the lower right corner, and then layered a few vintage labels, ribbon, rose cutouts, and a feather stamp on one side.
On the other side I repeated the torn page of vintage writing on the bottom right corner with the vintage wallpaper scrapbook paper on the top left. Then I added another rose cutout, a vintage label, a tiny pocket with a "keepsake" card inserted, and a little note card on which I wrote: "Remember – today is enough!" That is to remind myself that even if I don't get EVERYTHING accomplished on my never ending To Do list, that it is enough just to have today to live, laugh, and love everyone in my little world.
Then on the inside, I added pockets to the left side which were embellished with ribbons and some triangle banner cut outs. I tucked a little booklet that I made into one of the pockets, and a weekly calendar made from vintage print scrapbook paper. With a black gel pen I added some outlines around the edge of the pockets and around the banner cutouts and that was a super simple but fun and beautiful layout!
The other side was really fun, too, with another banner with triangles that spell out the work "BEAUTY," an envelope that I made from vintage rose print scrapbook paper that is tall and narrow along with another smaller, square envelope that I made from another vintage rose print paper and embellished with lace and trimmed with black ribbon – and then I actually wrote something on these journal pages! I've decided it is time to begin writing in this art journal and not just decorating it . . . . . but decorating it is so much fun!
Then I made some little tags to fit into the square envelope and a few note cards that fit into the long envelope, added some black ribbon bows to the edge of the outside pages to use in opening the "tip-in" and finally I was ready to pronounce it "finished!" Now it is on to the next challenge which is all about shapes . . . . . and since I can't decide for sure which "shape" I want to use, it might take a day or two for me to get this one ready. But since I have always like polka dots, maybe circles and dots are calling my name. We'll see what I come up with next!
Please join us this week for the Thursday Favorite Things Blog Hop, sponsored by Katherine's Corner . . . . it is a great way to connect with other bloggers so link up below and then stop by and visit some of the other participants in this week's Thursday Favorite Things Blog Hop.

Bright sparks light the way
Greg Hunt, the federal shadow minister for climate change, environment and water.
Photo: James Davies
THE great mirror fields of California and Nevada are a vision of the future. No other form of new energy captures the imagination, inspires and allows us to understand the coming transition to a clean economy as easily as vast solar arrays in the desert.
Brilliant work on solar power is being done at both the University of NSW in Sydney and at the Australian National University in Canberra. The world's largest solar concentrator - a form of solar power station - is being built near Mildura.
Crucible Carbon, a small firm in Newcastle, is leading the world in developing biochar, a technology that effectively captures carbon for between 500 and 3000 years in blackened crop waste or wood residue. These mini charcoal pellets are then sown back into the soil, where field trials around the world have shown an increase in crop yields of between 25 and 30 per cent.
The sense that there is no way out is historically incorrect and gives people no reason to harness their own ingenuity. That is why Climate Change Minister Senator Penny Wong's statement last week that south-east Australia's worst heat wave since 1908 was "climate change in action" was so dangerous. It was unsupported, and it said to people that all action is futile.
Climate change is both real and significant. It is not, however, proved or disproved by a single weather event in a single country. The progressive pattern over time on a global scale provides the evidence.
Most important, it is not hopeless. The passage to a clean economy deals with both the challenge of clean energy and also energy security.
About 50 per cent of the world's emissions come from electricity and related energy production, about 20 per cent from agriculture and deforestation of the world's great rainforests, and about 20 per cent from the different forms of transport.
There are three waves of reform that define the future economy.
First, there must be - and over time there will be - a clean energy revolution. We begin this revolution with the task of cleaning up the 80 per cent of Australia's power coming from coal-fired power stations. The construction of two clean coal power stations, which reduce emissions by 90 per cent, is simply indispensable.
China and India will not close down the 800 power stations they are building. But they just may agree to clean them up if the technology being developed in Australia is proven and shared. This may well be our biggest contribution to our grandchildren.
We continue the revolution by entwining the inspiring technologies of solar, tidal and geothermal power with gas, which generates energy at up to 70 per cent less emissions than current power production.
The second wave of the reform is a green carbon initiative that aims to capture 150 million tonnes of carbon dioxide a year from our trees and soils by 2020. The best soils are laden with carbon. As one farmer said to me recently, he can smell good soil; feel it, touch it, and know that the infusion of carbon boosts the health of his soil and his farm productivity. To make this happen, farmers have to be given incentives for lifting their soil productivity.
Rather than being the villains - as some would have it - and buying them out, our farmers offer us a way to advance our landscape, protect our food security and help cleanse our air.
Third, the way we drive will change. Eventually, most of our vehicles will be powered by electricity, but that transition will be a slow one and will work only if the original source of energy is clean. In the intervening generation, we should consider whether the real Australian initiative is the gas Commodore or Fairlane. Perhaps we should be working with the manufacturer here in Australia to build parts of their fleets with the lower emissions gas technology.
Tomorrow will arrive. Unlike the great cholera epidemics of the 19th century, today we know the problem and can see the solution being built in places such as Newcastle, Sydney and Mildura. The course of human history is never easy, but in the midst of the current gloom we can still see the foundations for the clean economy of the future.
Greg Hunt is the federal shadow minister for climate change, environment and water.

The adopted daughter of former French President Jacques Chirac sharply condemned violence against people of Asian heritage in France. She was upset because the deaths of two Asian women who were stabbed and left on the streets appeared to be of slight interest to the polcie or the media. Anh Dao Traxel was adopted by the Chirac family when she arrived in he 1978 exodus of "boat people" and has spent most of her life in France. She demanded a thorough police inquiry into what she termed as blatant racism. "i am very shocked. These young women were killed like dogs." The two women were found in the central district of Paris in the 11th district, an area with a large immigrant population as well as fashionable bars and nightclubs. "The French political class and the media should not be silent. They should react with the same energy as when the victims are Jewish, North African Arabs or Africans."
She believes the crimes were racist in nature and is upset at the lack of interest in such crimes against Asians by her nation's media. She is also upset that President Sarkozy is not more angry at violence against those of Asian backgrounds.
The police have promised to conduct an inquiry.

Ham,Cheese and Onion Crustless Quiche
Believe it or not..this was my first time baking a quiche! I've eaten them plenty of times before but never made one myself. I can asure you that I have been bitten by the crustless quiche and plan on making tons more!
I apologise for the bad photo..It was Easter though and we were hungry. So I snapped a few shots and served the meal. We all loved it and it was super simple to make.
Ham,Cheese and Onion Crustless Quiche
3 TBS Fine Dry Plain Bread Crumbs
1 medium Onion,diced
1-1/2 - 2 cups Diced Cooked Ham
1 TBS Unsalted Butter
2 cups (8ounces) Shredded Cheddar Cheese..or cheese of choice
5 Large Eggs
1 cup Heavy Cream..I used evaporated milk
1 cup Whole Milk..or milk of choice
2-3 Grates of fresh Nutmeg;optional
Fresh Chives on top;optional
Preheat oven to 400 degrees or 200 celcius with oven rack in middle.
Butter quiche dish, and sprinkle all over with bread crumbs.
Cook onions and ham in 1 tablespoon of butter in a skillet over medium heat,stirring occasionally,until pale golden,about 5-8 minutes. Spread in dish,then evenly sprinkle cheese on top.
Whisk together eggs,cream,milk,1/2 teaspoon pepper,nutmeg and pour over cheese. Top with chives if using.
Bake until golden and custard is set in center, 20-25 minutes( if it's browning to quickly on top and the center is still not set, loosely cover with foil and place back into the oven 5-8 minutes or so) Cool slightly before serving.
** Ok here are my notes. I put the oven rack one position lower and preheated the oven to 375 or 190 celcius. I used nonstick spray and skipped the bread crumb part. I don't know what the usual size quiche pans come in but mine was a 10-inch. I kept an eye on the time and mine was done at 25 minutes. Feel free to leave the ham out if you want a vegetarian option or add in soy crumbles! **
Yield: 4-6 servings..depending on the size of the wedges

Student demonstrators symbolically covered their right eyes Thursday as they marched through Montreal to recognize a peer who feared losing sight in one eye.
The demonstration was the latest in a series of protests against Quebec's plans for tuition-fee hikes. It unfolded in an atmosphere of heightened tensions, one day after a fellow demonstrator suffered a partially detached retina following a violent fracas with riot police.
Student groups say Francis Grenier, 20, was wounded following the explosion of a police stun grenade Wednesday in downtown Montreal.
On Thursday, hundreds of protesters, some wearing eyepatches and others covering an eye in reference to Mr. Grenier, flooded city streets and jammed rush-hour traffic.
Riot police clutched batons and kept careful watch as protesters walked past. The officers were greeted with chants and a variety of hand gestures, ranging from two-fingered peace signs to one-fingered salutes.
"Police is everywhere, justice is nowhere," some shouted during a march that had a third theme: International Women's Day.
The fist-pumping demonstrators gathered in front of a public building near the Jacques Cartier Bridge and shouted their condemnation of the tuition-fee increases.
One by one, dozens of protesters each dropped a long-stemmed red rose into a pile at the feet of armoured riot police guarding the front door. Many held a hand over their right eye as they knelt to place the flowers.
A day earlier, seven people were arrested during a pair of Montreal protests — the latest in a string of demonstrations by students who believe Quebec's rock-bottom tuition rates are a basic right.
In the main protest Wednesday, riot police armed with batons and tear gas charged into a group of demonstrators who were blocking access to a public building. Protesters pelted the helmeted officers with snowballs.
The ambulance service initially reported Wednesday that it had treated four people — including a police officer — for only minor injuries. But Jeanne Reynolds, a spokeswoman for one of the student groups, described Mr. Grenier's injury as serious.
"We don't know yet whether he will lose his eyesight or not," Ms. Reynolds said. "He's in bad shape, so he's resting right now."
Ms. Reynolds maintained that Mr. Grenier wasn't causing trouble when he was wounded. She called it "brutal" and unacceptable that a student exercising his rights in a peaceful manner is now in hospital.
Mr. Grenier had been quoted in media reports saying that he was playing the harmonica alongside other protesters, when police moved in swiftly without giving people time to disperse.
"It was a reaction that was totally disproportionate with what was going on," Ms. Reynolds said.
Montreal police say they've interviewed the man and are trying to determine what happened.
"Certainly, we're going to investigate to see what caused this man's injuries," said department spokesman Raphael Bergeron, who described Mr. Grenier's injury as, "quite serious."
Students have been protesting tuition-fee increases the province plans to implement over the next five years. The tuition rates for in-province students are the lowest in the country, while students who come to Quebec to study from elsewhere in Canada pay much higher fees.
Jean Charest's government says it plans to boost rates by an extra $325 for each of the next five years. Such a climb would still leave Quebec with some of the lowest tuition in the country at $3,793 per year.
The premier appeared to defend police, and suggest that students carried some of the blame for the situation getting out of hand. Mr. Charest chided protesters who infiltrated the Loto-Quebec building in an incident that helped touch off Wednesday's showdown with police.
Mr. Charest said the norm for protest organizers is to share their planned itinerary, and route, with police — then stick to it. But he suggested such precautions weren't being taken by the student groups.
"To occupy a building, to scare people — that obviously has consequences," Mr. Charest said.
"Student leaders need to act responsibly, too. Police do their job the best they can but when student leaders refuse to inform them on their itinerary ... well that obviously increases the risks...
"I'm inviting protesters to work with police — to inform them, as normally happens (in other protests)."
The government argues the added tuition revenue will help preserve the quality of Quebec's universities. But students who oppose the increases say higher fees will discourage some people from going to university.

That's terrible.
How I learned to draw as a kid: lots of tracing paper and pictures of cars from magazines....eventually I found my groove and started creating my own unique designs.
That looks nice
Nicest Chinese rip-off I've ever seen. Unfortunately it asplodes off the dealer's lot.
reminds me of this atrocity

Most Chinese styling until now has struck me as either blatantly derivative or bizarrely incompetent. But this is different; I've never seen anything quite like that blade shape across the front of the hood and headlights, and I think it's attractive.
I like!
I thought you'd meant to imply 'Chevy' TX by typing with an ESL accent.

China is the next big thing. Which car company to buy stock in?
Anybody can draw with a design program after a year or so of training. Question is, can they build it. I think no
Someone really likes the Subaru B9 Tribeca.
The wheel arch treatment is unusual. It looks like a cheap way of making too-small wheels fit too-big wheel housings, but I don't really see why they'd do that on a concept where they have the latitude to do whatever they want.
What is this supposed to be a rip off of?
Looks like a modern interpretation of a Vehicross.
I dig the headlights.
Lots of VW stuff|Rare Scirocco parts!

I think it looks fantastic. And it shows they're hiring ID grads.
Fairly original with good details and forms that are cohesive with good continuity. The proportions are nice, too.
At first I was like:

The poster formerly known as 200HP4dr
Rear kind of reminds me of the FX concept car for whatever reason.
that looks incredible, i love the lines on it. it has a taste of korean and japanese styling and looks futuristic but at the same time very right now. theres something about it that distinctly chinese too.
this is the kind of stuff that were going to be seeing out of the auto industry as china becomes an international power house. once the chinese middle class has enough buying power theyll represent a huge segment of the automotive market so you gents are going to have to get used to it. its going to be really interesting to see where domestic chinese cars are 30 years from now.
the first thing i thought of was the new tesla

Rolls-Royce Phantom Hire: Enfield
Rolls-Royce Phantom hire in Enfield, the most northerly of all the London boroughs, is available through London Phantoms. Lying within the outer London area, Enfield borders the boroughs of Barnet, Waltham Forest and Haringey and is classed as one of the more affluent areas of London. This shows that Rolls-Royce Phantoms along with our other luxury cars are certainly not out of place here among the population of around 300,000 people that live within it's boundaries.
Rolls-Royce Phantom Hire in Enfield
For people staying in the Enfield area, there are a number of attractions that can be visited both near and far. Forty Hall Manor and Country Park is one such place, and it is open all the year through. Both the manor house and the gardens can be visited, and in addition, there are also different events and exhibitions held throughout the year making these events ideal for Rolls-Royce Phantom hire opportunities.
The rather unusual Museum of Domestic Design and Architecture is worth a visit even if out of curiosity. The collections there include wallpapers and textiles from the 19th and 20th centuries! A novel way to get around these notable places of interest would be to hire a Rolls-Royce Phantom or one of London Phantom's other ultra-luxury cars for a half or full day.
If hiring for the full day, it could also be used to visit the sites of central London, such as the square mile, The London Eye, Big Ben, Buckingham Palace and the Houses of Parliament. Many people have visited these places, but very few have had their photograph taken outside of them with a Rolls-Royce Phantom in the photo too. You could be one of the few!
At night, there is, of course, a different feel to both Enfield and the rest of the London area. The pubs come to life, some featuring live bands and other entertainment; the restaurants fill up, and the shows begin in theatres. Again, if seeing a show or a planning a night out in Enfield, a great way to travel around in complete and utter luxury would be in a Rolls-Royce Phantom. It is certainly a head turner, and starts off any night in the most perfect way possible.
We also have a whole host of other cars available for wedding/event/corporate/casual hire in the Enfield borough, including a Rolls-Royce Ghost, Bentleys, Mercedes and a Maybach. Contact us today.

oh I know that there are ones with 7 holes but i was just saying that there is also one with only 6wizardofflight said:
oh I know that there are ones with 7 holes but i was just saying that there is also one with only 6wizardofflight said:
I guess I missunderstood. So that means that there is a forth version of the Heiland with six ovals, so it is simlar to the type 3 version in the other thread. Does it have the two small holes below the ovals on either side?BobaFettSlave_1 said:
Do you have any pictures that I could work from? I might as well try to come up with templates for all of them.
One step forward two steps back.
no there WERE no small holes. i drilled the holes and filed the ovilones into squares the other day. srrywizardofflight said:
Thanks anyway it was worth a shot. I gave it a try anyway, how does this look.
thats about right
Here's what I just won on Ebay.... now please tell me this is useable for my ESB blaster. I know it's not a MPP, but the price seemed right
I'd say yeah...
Good score, it should look great. Nobody but a dyehard expert would know the difference.
kinda interesting. it has an extension that is for a graflex, if your gonna use the tube for a gun i will buy the graflex extension from you
Ive got a Heiland 2-cell for sale. If you are interested you can pm or email me. email@example.com I am also looking for a heiland 3 cell so if you have one message me.
I have a good idea that you can use to finish your blaster. Many people is looking for the flash barrel, and there is a better way to do it than using normal tubes or vacuum cleaner ones..
If you look on ebay for fx lightsabers, they sell broken ones for a very ggod price. If you get the vader one (i think thats the one), you can take it apart, and get the metal tube. It has the holes, and as far as i know, it looks the same (if not let us now).
Madrid Vader
I have taken a Fx lightsaber (spare and broken one) and it works great. Same size.
I Hope this will help you
Madrid Boba
Does anyone know in which direction the Heiland tube is attached to the barrel ?
The big hole on top ? Or at the bottom ?
Thanks for your help.

Well it has been quite sometime once again since I have been around, but mommy has been spending all her "computer time" on some site called Facebook and I can't type without her assistance.
Anyway just thought I would update my pals on my situation. I am now having issues with my other knee. I have been on medication for awhile now in the hopes that it too won't need surgery but it is not looking promising mommy says. The Dr. said last time it wasn't quite bad enough yet and to keep me on my meds but that isn't working so well. Anyway that is all for now cuz mommy has to get back to her stuff but I will keep you updated on my future surgery cuz mommy said she knows it is coming and it makes her sad but seeing me limping all the time in pain is worse. I do have pain meds but mommy said that she doesn't like me having to eat them all the time.
Well hello there all. I have been gone for sometime now, not my fault I must say. Mommy said that she was having LOTS of trouble with the internet. As a matter of fact she switched companies because of it. Well just let me tell you that from what I hear that was a pain in the rump also but anyway it is done now and I AM BACK. Well I gotta go now and look around it has been awhile. Later Lilly May
Well today I went to the doggie doctor again. This time some good news. I got my staples out of my leg. They said it is doing good this time. Of course I did hear them tell my mommy that I still have to be very careful with it and no running wild. That means probably another couple of weeks of that silly cheese that makes me sleepy. I know that mommy is putting medicine in it, but I can't seem to resist eating it anyway. Sometimes I can manage to fight off the effects but not for long. Mommy tried to not make me eat it last week but I went wild with all my pent up energy so I had to get it again. Oh are they gonna be sorry when I don't have to eat it anymore. So will Chance. HEE HEE HEE.

For those of you who are planning on doing something as a family for the upcoming school holidays look no further, we have a great special just for you!
BOOK ONLINE NOW or Email our Customer Service Team
Over the last week we had fantastic tours with great sightings of semi-resident sperm whales Tutu, Tiaki and Manu who were feeding reasonably close inshore. When time allowed we also viewed dusky & Hector's dolphins, NZ fur seals and marine birds.
Winter has been making itself well and truly known over the last few days which reminds us to be taking care on the roads especially earlier in the day when ice can be an issue. For those of you who enjoy time on the slopes, local family owned ski field Mt Lyford is due to open on the 29th June (just in time for the school holidays!).
• The highway will be open during daylight hours on Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays and Mondays (perfect for a long weekend getaway)
• The highway will be closed on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays for repairs to take place.
• The closure schedule is expected to remain in place until the end of September.
There is a possibility of short delays and it will be 30km/hour through parts of the route. Inland Route 70 remains open 24 hours a day 7 days a week.
As we enter into the cooler winter months it is a good reminder to take extra care on the roads and to check the NZTA website for road updates before traveling.
Progress is being made on the repair of the Kaikōura Marina and we continue to switch between using a berth and our modified trailer unit for launching our vessel Tohorā, when and where possible we are also making use of the public jetty that we have modified, this is due to tidal restrictions and repair work as a result of the coastline lifting by +1.0m. It is anticipated that the Kaikōura Marina will be fully restored in October 2017.
Currently our available tour times are based around the tide times on the day and may differ from the tour times originally advertised, please bear with us as we continue to work toward being fully operational again. For an update on the tour times available please contact our Customer Service team directly either by email on email@example.com or phone +64 3 319 6767 or free phone 0800 655 121 (within NZ) and they will be able to help you with your inquiry. Please note we are operating at a reduced capacity in the interim with up to 3 tours available per day, please contact our team prior to arriving in Kaikōura to secure a space on one of our tours and to save disappointment.
Kaikōura Business Update:
Kaikōura is open for business. For latest updates on accommodation / restaurant and retail information please contact the team at the Kaikōura i-Site who will be able to help you find what suits your needs during your stay in Kaikōura.
Transport Update:
All subject to weather conditions, slips, repair work and seismic activity. Updates available from the NZTA WEBSITE.
Intercity, Hasslefree Tours & Canterbury Leisure Tours have daily services from Christchurch to Kaikōura with a return service from Christchurch, as well as Kiwi Experience now having the option of a day tour out of Christchurch for their travellers.
Progress on the work being done on roads (along with harbour repairs) can be found on this dedicated KAIKOURA EARTHQUAKE RESPONSE page provided by the team at NZTA, this page is updated weekly on Friday. Work is also starting to take place on the railway network, please be aware and take care when using rail crossings.
Not long until the July School Holidays - why not bring your family to Kaikōura & join us for a whale watch tour? There is also plenty to see & do before or after you join with us. Please consider taking the time to visit Kaikōura, your support is most welcome. July School Holiday Special

|Patriots Look Poised For Another Super Bowl Run
|Bruins Trade For Drew Stafford
|Black and Gold Bruins Turn Yellow On Parade Day
|Inconsistency Will Continue For Bruins Unless A Change Is Made
An independent task force, formed after two Boston University hockey players were accused of sexual assault, has found that the players generally have a sense of sexual entitlement. In other news, another independent task force has found that grass tends to be green and water is wet.
The fact that the top sports squad at a college feels "sexually entitled" is nothing new, but… a report revealed Friday by the Boston Globe may be a different story.
After winning the 2009 NCAA Championship, BU hockey players threw a party in Agannis Arena, which included kegs in the locker room, naked skating on the ice, and SEX in the penalty box.
Two minutes for roughing? How about a five-minute major?
OK, I'll stop. Apparently, BU police and administrators did not know about the party until this year after the task force began asking questions. Coach Jack Parker, who at first did not acknowledge knowing anything about the party, later said he knew of "a few guys drinking in the locker room."
Parker had apparently lost control that year. Within days of the party, he reprimanded the team for its behavior. Clearly, that had no effect.
He also advised players to stop participating in group sex. Apparently, that's an issue with the BU hockey team, too.
"However," Parker is quoted in the report as saying, "my job is not to say, 'You guys gotta be celibate.' "
And finally, apparently the players, until recently, have been drinking for free without using IDs at T's Pub, which is down the street on Comm. Ave.
Players being entitled? That's nothing new. Players participating in group sex? Sex going on in the penalty box? Yeah, that's a bit different.
It's clear that Parker may not be able to really control his team's behavior. As a result, BU stripped him of the title of "executive athletic director" but did nothing else to punish him. Is that the right move?
