StillnessPosted: February 2, 2017 Filed under: Stamped Landscapes, Winter Ledge | Tags: Penny Black stamps, Tsukineko Memento inks, WOW embossing powders 12 Comments
After a week of balmy temperatures hovering around zero, we are back to real winter weather again and bright scenes like this one. Winter here is often prettiest when it's the coldest.
I stamped and embossed this scene using 'winter ledge' and a stamp positioner so I could get the thin layer of snow on the branches. The trick to this is to stamp first in versamark then move the cardstock up ever so slightly then stamp in pigment ink, in this case versafine onyx black. Once the panel is stamped twice you can emboss both images at once. The embossing resists ink once you sponge or paint over the top. I sponged this scene in memento Danube blue ink creating snowy hills behind the branches with post-it note masks.
I hesitate to say that I hope you are all staying warm as I know our family in Australia have been wishing for a little respite from the heat. I hope you are enjoying the weather, whatever the weather, whether you like it or not!

New Year LandscapePosted: December 31, 2016 Filed under: Skyward, Stamped Landscapes | Tags: Peerless Transparent Watercolors, Penny Black stamps, Tsukineko Versafine inks 15 Comments
The scene on today's card is not unlike what I see around Ottawa. Sometimes the sky is bright blue; it usually means the temperature is very cold. The landscape is covered in white but the trees tend to be a mix of black, grey and sometimes brown, the deciduous ones that is. I splattered masking fluid over a piece of watercolour paper to create the look of falling snow; if the sky had been darker it could have looked like either snow or stars. I then used Peerless watercolours to add colour. I began by painting a line of water across my panel; that line became the edge of the background snowbank. I picked up grey paint and added it to the water then brown so the colours spread and feathered. I added more water above the grey and brown then started painting blue from the top of the panel slowly pulling it down and diluting it with water. I didn't want the blue to mix with the grey and brown so I kept the edge of both colours diluted with water and tipped my panel towards the top so colour would move upward not down.
I positioned a mask lowered down the panel then stamped the bare branches in versafine onyx black. Once the ink was dry I removed the mask and painted colour behind the stamping extending to the right hand edge to look like another snow bank. To finish I removed the masking fluid, added a sentiment, matted the panel and attached it to a card base.
I wish you all a happy new year and look forward to sharing with you here in 2017. Thank you so much for dropping in to see what I've been creating.

Winter CheerPosted: December 23, 2016 Filed under: Nature's Silhouettes, Stamped Landscapes | Tags: Kuretake Zig clean color real brush markers, Penny Black stamps, Tsukineko Versafine inks, WOW embossing powders 4 Comments
I used the versatile birch trunk stamps from the 'Nature's Silhouettes' set for this card stamping them over a hill shaped mask at the bottom and bending them this way and that so no two trees looked the same. After stamping them I positioned a circle mask for the moon and painted masking fluid over all the tree trunks. I used zig clean colour real brush markers for the blue sky and green foliage in the background; I rarely use the zig markers but whenever I do I resolve to get them out more often. The colours are so vibrant and the blending so easy. Once the sky was completed I removed all the masks and added grey to the trunks.
I wanted shadows in the snow but with paler tones than the background so scribbled some colour on a palette and diluted it to paint a shadow for each tree. There is a little line of sparkly embossing along the snow banks to make them glisten. The sentiment may or may not be positioned where it is to hide something; I'll let you draw your own conclusions!
Enjoy Christmas Eve.

Misty MountainsPosted: December 20, 2016 Filed under: Prancers, Stamped Landscapes | Tags: Brusho, Penny Black stamps 6 Comments
I was happy to read in the comments that I am not the only one who hasn't sent all their Christmas cards yet. I am making progress; I've written 67, sent 60 and have 12 left to write. The card I'm sharing today shows a little sentiment splicing; I've taken the 'wishing you' from the festive snippets set and added it to half of a stamp from the festive cheer set. The lettering in the two sets combine nicely along with the small capitals on the little words. You can get more from your stamps if you take a look at which sentiments might mix and match with each other. A stamp positioning tool makes this kind of thing easier but partial inking and masking works if you don't have a handy dandy tool.
The landscape for this card was definitely a brusho experiment. I sprinkled blue and green brusho on my watercolour panel then moved water around with a paintbrush to create some hard edges and feather out other areas. After I'd created my misty mountains I did partial inking on the little tree stamp from the prancers set to fill in some forest on the mountain sides.

Three northern scenesPosted: December 13, 2016 Filed under: Classes, Stamped Landscapes, Woodland Beauty | Tags: Classes, Penny Black stamps 15 Comments
I recently taught a card class where we created Christmas cards featuring the northern lights over snowy landscapes. Everyone's scenes looked different as there was a variety of inks to choose from. Back in the planning stage for the class I created a few different scenes as I worked out what would work in a class setting. (I have to make sure I can reproduce my own techniques if I am going to have any chance of teaching them to others.)
The top card and the bottom card were experiments that didn't become class samples and the middle one was a variation I did during class. They all happen to use the blue and plum colour scheme. The two above have masking fluid snow flakes and the one below a bit more definition in the mountains. Sometimes my experiments end up as class projects, sometimes they become recycling and, sometimes as the case was with these three they join my stash of cards to use as needed. These ones really should have been sent already to arrive at their destination by Christmas.
Have you sent all your cards yet? I'm not even half way there.

Birch in snowPosted: December 6, 2016 Filed under: Nature's Silhouettes, Stamped Landscapes | Tags: Brusho, Penny Black stamps 12 Comments
I wish I could tell you the beauty of yesterday's snowfall inspired this little snowscape but the reality is having this photo edited and ready inspired this little post! I made this card months back but misplaced it somewhere in my spotless workroom!
The 'nature's silhouettes' transparent set includes two long birch trunk stamps. One is a little slimmer than the other so when stamping them you can shape them, turn them upside down, ink them partially and add branches to get a range of different 'birchy' looks. I also discovered a little trick you might like. The wider of the two trees just happens to be the same width as narrow painter's tape which makes masking a snap.
I inked the birch trunks in versafine onyx black for this panel as I didn't want the watercolour painting to blur the trees at all. Before stamping I splattered some masking fluid and positioned some hill shaped post-it masks at the base of the panel. I stamped the trunks so the base overlapped the post-its. I used the narrow masking tape to mask two of the trunks and cut a narrower mask for the other trunk. I removed the masks from the base of the trees but kept the trunks masked while I painted snow banks and sky with a couple of blue brusho paints. To get the shadow of the snow banks I paint a curved line then soften it with water above but keep it fairly sharp and unblended below. Once the paint was complete I removed the masks from the trunks and add a line of grey down one side of the trunks with a marker.
Even though this particular card wasn't inspired by my backyard, the beauty of a fresh snowfall is what keeps me creating these snowy scenes.

Winter celebrationPosted: November 22, 2016 Filed under: Stamped Landscapes, Woodland Beauty | Tags: Fabriano Watercolour Paper, Penny Black stamps, Ranger Distress inks, Tsukineko Versafine inks 10 Comments
The tree from the 'woodland beauty' set has definitely become a favourite of mine. (It features in my next Christmas card class this weekend and one spot just opened up) I started by painting a blue and purple sky over some masking fluid specks. I used the same blues to paint shadows over the mountains.
To create this little winter scene I stamped the tree in a mix of two greens and added water to blend the greens and add the shadow to the snow. To make the snowbank below the trees I partially inked the trees so the trunks weren't stamped then painted some blue ink around the branches and as a sharp edge below the branches.
I painted some more pale blue snow banks then used part of a sentiment stamp to finish the panel. I've been back in Canada for over a week now and the snow has indeed come to Ottawa!

RG3 injury: Redskins star kept out 'because of the score', says Mike Shanahan
March 20, 2017 Washington Redskins 0
The Redskins caught a lucky break on Sunday's loss against the Broncos. Despite taking a massive hit by Denver's Terrance Knighton, Redskins quarterback Robert Griffin III was ruled "okay" by Dr. James Andrews, according to NFL Media's Ian Rapoport. Head coach Mike Shanahan claims that he kept Griffin out due to the score after the game became a blowout Denver win.
Griffin was thrown to the ground and Knighton landed on his left knee in the fourth quarter. The quarterback grabbed the knee and was inspected on the sideline. Kirk Cousins entered the game shortly after and played in relief of Griffin. The former Baylor Bear finished 15-of-30 for 132 passing yards, one touchdown and two interceptions.
With Griffin's diagnosis, he is likely to play in Week 9. The Redskins will next host the San Diego Chargers in Washington. The Redskins drop to 2-5 following the 41-25 loss to the Broncos in Denver.
Early-season criticism seems to have put Andy Dalton on a path to prove his doubters wrong. Never was this more apparent than on Sunday, as he threw five touchdowns and targeted eight different receivers. In the past, there was a question about whether Dalton was a quality QB, or whether a group of good receivers made him better than he really was. Against the Jets, he showed that he deserves to be in the conversation with the league's top quarterbacks — even if he does boast a great supporting cast.
The New York Jets are a team with no offensive identity, and that's why they couldn't move the ball against the Bengals. This isn't a product of coaching, but rather inconsistent play at every offensive skill position that makes it tough for a coaching staff to lean on any one weapon. In the past, Rex Ryan teams have been characterized by tough defense and running the football, but the current stable of running backs is awful.

Looks like Jamie Summers is enjoying having 2 cocks to play with. He looks forward to doing shoots for Fresh Sx because they always hook him up with the kind of guys that turn him on, and they did it again! His mouth is full as he sucks on one rod, his hand stroking the other. You can see that Jamie knows what he's doing since both those dicks are rock-hard from his ministrations. And his own pleasure is not being ignored - one of his playmates is playing with Jamie's balls while the other is reaching down to stroke his cock.
When things first get started, Mika is the one in the middle. His lean, ripped body is hot but Jamie wastes no time reaching into Mika's briefs to pull out his hardening cock.
Kai and Mika turn things around so Jamie is the one getting serviced. It's hard to say which feels better - a warm mouth swallowing his meat or a hot tongue teasing his nuts.
Once the guys are too horny to hold on, they go for a threeway fuck - looks like the lucky guy here is Kai because he gets to fuck Jamie while Mika fucks Kai's tight hole!

Formerly Negro Commander, a band whose life span extended to a single show, Chicago, Illinois, USAs Naked Raygun were their citys premier hardcore band of the early 80s. Despite appearances to the contrary, their name was chosen prior to the election of US President Ronald Reagan. Dropping bass player Marco Pezzati for Camilo Gonzalez of the Wayouts at the same time as they lost their original name, the rest of the band comprised Jeff Pezzati (vocals) and Santiago Durango (guitar). No drummer featured in the original line-up until Jim Colao was recruited. Santiago then moved on to Big Black and Arsenal, and was replaced by John Haggerty who had already played saxophone at early shows. Their recording career had begun with the documentary 1981 Chicago live compilation, Busted At Oz, released on Autumn Records (it also featured the Effigies and Strike Under, from whom later members would come).

Tough spot for Elena there. Much as she'd like to erase Sakura from their memories that comparison keeps on coming and can't avoid the pressure. Somewhat hoping she gets some decent development and it's not just a downward spiral.
Still think she's taking the whole "take your opponents moves over and over before turning the tables" a bit too literally . I think it'd be ok for her to actually try and win some matches before she gets beaten to a pulp...

As said Misaki, Sakura has become physically stronger now that his mental became a little stronger to overcome this kind of pain.
it will then be free to take as the boston crab sides and turn the situation to his advantage and then finally win fights

Man, I really wish the anime could have cut this whole arc. It clashes horribly with the first arc characterization of her of never giving up. Also the idea of a wrestler losing to the same move fifty times in a row stretches the ringside ropes of belief.

Everything up to now has been important. She had to figure out what was she really doing there, for the idols, or for herself, and no road to victory is a smooth marble ride, and what I'm glad to see is character progress, not plot device progress
Ah, but the plot has been progressing great too

The first wrestler who loses to Sakura will probably kill herself out of shame for losing to a jobber. Ah well, if Glass Joe can come back as a badass in title defense on Punch Out Wii, maybe Sakura can escape the shame of her atrocious record.

She's up to 65 straight losses now, Jesus. I'm feeling pretty good about her revenge match with Rio though. She seems to have come up with a special move, it would be weird if she used it for the first time only to lose again.

Watched the fourth episode.
Sakura finally gave signs on fighting back thanks to Misaki's one-night session, that painful but necessarily opened the eyes to Sakura about pro-wrestling basics.
What people want to see are the fighters giving all out what they have and truly struggle to the very end; Sakura gave up too easily without putting much of a fight in her hell of losing streak, and do I understand the fans. Her attitude was just a lame joke.
If one engages to do a career in pro-wrestling it's obvious that pain whether the training sessions and inside the ring is what has to be taken in order to face the fight. The same holds true in other events like boxing, that the boxers are expected to take blows on their faces and ribs once fighting all out.
At least, Sakura made some relevant improvement with moving all her body to the ropes in spite of the massive pain-hold, and actually struggling two times while being slammed on the ground by her opponents. However, it's time for Sakura to really learn true pro-wrestling and tune up for it in order to win the next one for a first.

I'm quite bewildered at the audience's excitement over Sakura. Unless Kazama is wildly popular, why would there be so many people packing the seats? I cringed when Sakura's fans called her the Fighting Princess. Are they serious? She lost every one of her 65 matches!
I wonder whose bright idea it was to match Sakura against Kazama. Shouldn't Sakura be matched against opponents of her level? I have the feeling Sakura would lost horribly again. Perhaps Kazama would lose instead. Being arrogant and dismissal of the opponent often sets up the defeat flag.

So, if it finds "special attack" it can win battles, it will be used probably for the first time against Rio
and talking about his fight against Rio if it loses it will continue BUT the catch and if she wins? You say to me "well Sakura return to his idol group" personally imagine it would be too easy it wins there will be a turnaround from him and decides to stay wrestler

So far the progress that Sakura has been making through Misaki's training sessions is not only paying off, but she's recovering a little bit of her idol-days fandom.
Got to say, it felt good that Sakura is now able to go on the offensive and pulling out some nice moves. The only issue at hand is that she's getting countered into defeat when looks like she has the opponent at the brink of defeat.
Fortunately, Elena meeting her at the park and both rejoicing with putting up a dancing, idol session just for fun and love might have given Sakura an epiphany as to the sort of finisher move that she's been developing in preparation for her fight against Kazama Rio.
I just got thrilled to see what happens on the next episode.

Nobody is going to be disappointed by episode 6. Nobody. I really thought this ep redeems the series nicely.
You gotta give this show credit for taking a more realistic approach to Sakura's turnaround. There was the 50 losses of 'I don't have a freakin clue how to win at all in wrestling' to 15 MORE losses of 'I get it now, but what the hell am I still missing here?'. There was this sort of absolute impatience in getting Sakura into pro matches way too early and then absolute patience in letting her go 65 losses to figure herself out. Incredible. I think the interesting thing here is it's done over a 9 month period so giving a new player a year to figure things out is not all that unreasonable in respect to the crazy amount of losses she's tallied up so far.
You could argue she should have had trainers explain things to her sooner, but those same trainers I think withheld certain bits of info in order for her to figure things out by herself. That's their training method, that's all.
This is just a fun stupid show to watch. Just wish I didn't have to cut the damn volume to near zero when watching it.

Not Quite an Odyssey
12, 2002
by Jeffery Commaroto
So I am sitting here, typing away on my shiny new baize keyboard
as a tiny red glow peaks out from the deep black ball of my
HAL computer. I can feel the gentle glide of the spinning
ring that provides my crew and I with much needed artificial
gravity. I often wonder if I would be insane at whatever moment
I wonder about it, if it wasn't for that precious artificial
gravity. I at least know this much to be true. If it were
not for that wonderful innovation, my ultra secret affair
with Ensign Burke would surely suffer in the bedroom. I cannot
even fathom how difficult it was for the early deep space
voyagers of the 1980's who had to suffer with zero gravity
intercourse and all the difficulties it entailed.
"HAL" I call out for a moment, "how long till
we reach Jupiter orbit?" I can hear the computer buzzing
in the background attempting to crunch the endless supply
of numbers that make up our estimated trajectory. "We
are about five minutes closer then the last time you asked
me Jeffery. If you must know, five minutes from now we will
be exactly five more minutes closer. The pattern will continue
onward ad infinitum until we reach there. Now will there be
anything else?"
Goddamn Microsoft and their pretentious and ornery computers!
"I read that Jeffery," HAL responds, "Microsoft
will be deducting $500 dollars out of your account for that
blasphemy. If there are any further, then I will be forced
to tell them about your little secret." I jump up and
begin hurling wild profanities at the annoying little device.
"How dare you spy on Ensign Burke and I, what we do in
private is our own business." "I was referring to
the old laptop you have running a rogue copy of Linux, everyone
at Star Command and Microsoft has been well aware of your
affair with the Ensign, as is everyone on the ship."
Damn computer!
Actually, 2001 just ended, but instead of sitting in my quarters
on a spaceship fighting with my ultra intelligent and vile
minded computer, I am sitting in my office in the suburbs
of Rochester New York, hurling profanities at my ultra dumb
and slow, non talking computer. I think I have the better
end of that deal, don't you?
I could start this chapter off with a little pronouncement
that you tend to see around New Years time in a cheesy Infotainment
magazine article. Something like the following.
"We all grew up on the notion that in 2001 we would
be flying in spaceships, speaking to artificial forms of intelligence,
zipping to the market in our flying cars, and taking trips
to the bottom depths of the ocean where we would solve all
of our energy and natural resource problems through innovative
and highly skilled means. But the world of 2001 that we actually
live in looks much different then the fantasy world created
in our science fiction."
Then the article would go on about what we do have.
"We have cell phones, the Internet, computers more powerful
than the ones that got us to the moon sitting on our desks
and a seemingly endless stream of engaging entertainment that
will soon reach our high definition television sets, digital
movie projectors, handheld devices and other devices we have
yet to imagine. We have revolutionized our understanding of
ourselves through mapping out the entire human genome and
the genomes of other species. In space we have satellites
orbiting the distant planets, a telescope that is finding
new distant worlds and even the first space tourist reached
the International Space Station (ISS) built and funded primarily
by the worlds two superpowers that only a few decades ago
ignited a space race through their mutual hatred."
So we haven't achieved the glamour of space travel and technology
to make our lives near perfect as science fiction presented.
But we did have the first space tourist Dennis Tito head up
to the ISS in April and the second one looks like he could
be going up early this year. The entire trip only cost Tito
$20 million paid to the Russians. I am sure there are millions
of people around the world with an extra $20 million dollars
lying around that would love to go. A lot of people have even
said that director James Cameron is interested. I for one
love the idea of him going.
Because maybe something epic will occur and he can make another
movie like Titanic that will waste three more hours of men's
lives with a silly fabricated love story surrounding a real
life tragedy that I personally was forced to watch twice in
a theater full of teary eyed teenage girls and gay men. But
maybe I am being harsh; I did see it each time with a different
girl and I got laid afterwards! Both times! So maybe we should
send him up. So with all this tourism that means it could
just be another fifty or hundred years before you and I and
other non-multi millionaires can go! Well, maybe not some
of you considering that you could be old and close to death.
But hey, at least I could have a shot.
Actually space tourism and the industrialization of space
could be a major boom to our economy and really revolutionize
how humans live. Not to mention cause a renewed interest in
space travel by the average citizen. Of coarse NASA has been
adamantly opposed to citizen space travel and did everything
they could, which was very little, to stop Tito from going.
Their main concern was the safety of the other astronauts
and Tito himself. Many people, myself included, criticized
NASA for its criticism. Of coarse if the United States Navy
had used the same discretion with their nuclear submarines
then perhaps a wealthy tourist wouldn't have been at the helm
of the USS Greenville when it hit a Japanese fishing boat
killing nine people last year. So maybe NASA does have a point.
Of coarse the future of NASA and the space station doesn't
look good. The ISS is currently at a cost overrun of $4.8
billion. (Just for comparison the federal government recently
started the 2002 budget year off at a $9.4 billion deficit.
So the way I see it, NASA is budgeting better than the entire
federal government. Good job!) So the Bush administration
has called for a reevaluation of the station and a series
of initiatives to cut costs. (Meanwhile he is advocating that
the federal government fund a war, airport security, a missile
defense shield, a faith based charity program, tax cuts for
the wealthy and millions upon millions in corporate welfare
to get it out of debt.)
So what have they been cutting? Well science of coarse, what
else would you cut on a multi billion dollar space station
whose main objective is to, you guessed it, do science research?
Basically the plan is to not install an expensive module that
will house more crew members limiting the station to only
three at any one time instead of seven.
Those three people will have the daily task of maintaining
the station, which alone will take up a substantial amount
of their time. So we have a twenty-year multi-billion dollar
investment into a structure that was built for scientific
research but won't be used for scientific research and can
only house enough people to maintain it's relatively worthless
structure. Sounds like a healthy road to fiscal conservancy
to me!
Actually according to Ed Hudgins there might not even be
a need for NASA in the coming years, or at least when it comes
to the area of space from the Earth to the moon. Hudgins is
a director at the CATO institute an organization that adamantly
fights big government. He has been a leading advocate of such
spending limitation ideas as selling off the space shuttle
fleet and the space station to private industry and having
NASA exist only as a developer of deep space and interplanetary
missions, if he would have it exist at all.
Up until recently most people laughed at all of these ideas.
Basically because having an organization like NASA around
allows billions of dollars to be spent on scientific research
and development that would never be funded by private industry.
Mainly because most of that research has no immediate profit
producing applications, which is the main goal of all private
research and development, to make money.
I don't know about you, but if I ran a multi national corporation
and I could either pump a billion dollars into a project that
could possibly return back fifty times my investment in the
next ten years, or a project that would let me know the average
temperature on Mars, which do you think I would fund? Knowing
the average temperature on Mars is important to our understanding
of the solar system, our own planet and to science in general.
But it won't help General Electric make a buck with an advanced
Mars faring toaster oven in the short term.
But the Bush administration has shown great support of these
ideas, remember I said most people laughed at them up until
recently, and it looks like we could be pursuing such a plan
soon. In a recent interview for Wired magazine online Mr.
Hudgins also suggested that private industry could take over
NASA's entire Earth Sciences program. One of the main goals
of this mission is to chart out climate change, ozone depletion
and changes in Earth's oceanography. I don't know about you,
but I think I would feel a little uncomfortable with allowing
Exxon to be the final analyzer of data pertaining to pollution
and ozone depletion. What's that old saying about a fox in
the hen house?
I am not completely opposed to farming out a lot of the costs
and responsibility of maintaining our space program to private
industry. But lets not go crazy and start dismantling NASA.
Besides, what happens if we give away the space shuttle fleet
to a corporation and it goes bankrupt? Would the shuttle fleet
go up on the auction block? I bet China would love that, or
maybe Iraq could get her hands on it. Would we have to try
and outbid them? What if they joined together with some other
nations and combined their money and shared? Sure it would
create a very comedic sitcom esq. situation where they would
all fight over who gets to use the shuttle when. But we could
really lose out on something like that.
Talk about a national security crisis waiting to happen!
Plus, if we did win the bidding, wouldn't we just be spending
all the billions of dollars we saved over the years? So now
we just paid a shitload of money on something that we already
spent a shitload of money building and maintaining just a
few decades before. That doesn't sound very financially sound
to me. Actually it sounds really stupid!
To tell you the truth as I am writing this, I really hate
this idea. It made sense for a while but now that I am reading
over the data, man what a shitty ass plan. In fact most of
this privatization stuff seems suspect. The worst part is
there is a plan to privatize just about everything. From schools
to health care the prevailing wisdom is "Let corporations
do it." Hey I will even throw in a new one. Why not let
corporations fund libraries? I don't know about you but letting
children read for free doesn't sound very capitalist. Actually
it sounds downright communist to me. Sounds like a job for
Barnes & Noble to me!
For now I would like to close up with one last quick observation.
There are probably a million reasons why 2001 the reality
wasn't the amazing wonder filled world of space exploration
that Arthur C. Clark's classic novel described it might be.
But I know of one giant reason that I will use in any future
discussions of science/technology. Mainly the fact that the
United States congress is mostly made up of really old people!
Now I am twenty-two years old, so that statement encapsulates
a lot of people for me. But when you get down to it, when
you still have Senators and Congressmen who consider a color
television set a magical device making decisions about aerospace
and the Internet, your in fucking trouble. Anyone remember
watching the ultra rich ex-president George Bush Sr. stand
in amazement over a bar code scanner at a supermarket? That
sums it all up right there.
So my philosophy is "get the old people out and put
hip young people who actually know a thing or two about technology
in." If we follow that plan I am sure we will be on our
way to floating space cities, quantum computers and mountains

International Festival
of Orienteering 2017
South East
14th April - 17th April
Why the change?
Technology continues to evolve and both major electronic punching systems now have contactless systems available. Other sports have already moved to these and we believe that this is the logical direction for orienteering as it effectively automates the process of registering when a control has been visited, enabling you to focus on the skill of navigation and not the mechanics of punching.
What is Mixed Punching?
The latest update in the software for an SI control unit allows it to be used as a contactless beacon as well as a traditional punching unit. At the same event it can therefore support both competitors with contactless SIAC cards and those with older style dibbers to punch. It is important to note that all SI dibbers, of whatever vintage, will continue to work with the SI units.
Is this fair?
Runners with a SIAC card can certainly save time at each control, which is one reason why we expect that competitors will gradually upgrade their SI dibbers/cards to SIAC. However, this is not unique as the newer SI dibbers were already noticeably faster than early ones and competitors use other technological advances such as fast settling compasses and contact lenses etc.. This is recognised in this year's IOF statement on mixed punching, which announced that no rule change was required for mixed punching provided that contactless cards are available to hire at an event. We have therefore arranged that SPORTident will ensure that all competitors have the option to hire a SIAC card at a reasonable cost. In addition, SIAC cards will be available to hire at no fee for Juniors (although they should still be booked when entering the event). However, if you wish to use your current dibber at the event then you are welcome to do so.
What about reaching across impassable barriers to 'punch'?
The SIAC card has to be within 0.5m of the control unit to register so the opportunity for this is minimised. However, we recognise that this is most likely to be an issue at sprint and urban events so will ensure that controls are sited so that this is not possible.
How do I know if the SIAC has successfully registered at a control?
The SIACs will beep and flash when it has registered, so you will receive instant feedback. If the SIAC does not give feedback you can revert to dibbing in the traditional way.
If I have a SIAC card will the event be completely contactless?
No, you will still be required to 'dib' at a Check box at the start and a similar unit after the Finish so that we have a safety record of everyone out on the courses. This process also switches the SIAC card on and off, thus saving battery life.
What happens if the battery runs out in a SIAC card?
The battery life is approximately 4 years so this is unlikely in the short term. In addition the battery state of the SIACs is automatically checked as part of the process at the start of each event. In the unlikely event that a SIAC fails whilst you are competing then you can continue your run by using the SIAC card to 'dib' at the remaining control units.
Are there enough SIACs to hire?
SPORTident will be providing SIACs for hire with pre-entries and have assured the organising team that there will be enough for all those that wish to hire them. In addition, as a promotion for the JK and in recognition that we are strongly supporting juniors, SIACs will be free to hire for any M18/W18 or younger who wishes to use one.
Doesn't this add hidden costs to clubs and hence me?
No, because all SI units produced since 2005 just need a software upgrade in order to be able to operate in both contactless and dibbing mode.
Are we being guinea pigs for this?
No. Contactless punching using SIACs was used at the 2015 World Orienteering Championships in Scotland for every event and was well received by competitors. In addition it has already been used in 'mixed' mode at several events organised by SEOA clubs this year and will be used in several more in the run up to JK2017. Indeed, the Swiss Orienteering Federation has sufficient confidence in the system to implement mixed punching at all their events in 2017.
How can I become familiar with the system?
A short example circuit will be set up near Enquiries on each day of the event so that you can practice

Among Penguins: A Bird Man in Antarctica
The year he graduated from college, twenty-two-year-old Noah Strycker was dropped by helicopter in a remote Antarctic field camp with two other bird scientists and a three-months supply of frozen food. His subjects: more than a quarter million penguins.
The Adélie Penguins who call Antarctica home have been the subject of long-term studies: Scientists may know more about how these penguins will adjust to climate change than about any other creature in the world.
With wit, curiosity, and a deep knowledge of his subject, Strycker weaves a captivating tale of penguins and their researchers on the coldest, driest, highest, and windiest continent on Earth. He recounts the reality of life at the end of the Earth–thousand-year-old penguin mummies, hurricane-force blizzards, and day-to-day existence in below freezing temperatures–and delves deep into a world of science, obsession, and birds.
Birders, lovers of the Antarctic, and fans of first-person adventure narratives will be fascinated by Among Penguins.

Comments about MOOG Sway Bar Link Kit:
This particular sway bar link was the only option for my vehicle that my local store had in stock. I was a little put off by the price at first, because it was quite a bit more than cheaper ones I had seen online, but I needed it, so I took it home. One look at it was all the explanation I needed. The Moog is conservatively twice as thick as stock OEM links, and many of the lower cost replacements. This was a 2nd replacement on this vehicle...the first replacement was much thinner, more like the OEM stock links, and it actually snapped in two after about 15,000 miles/8 months of just daily family use on decent roads. I don't see that happening any time soon to the Moog. The Moog also comes with grease fittings, so the joints should last a good long while. It's nice to actually get what you pay for.

M theory, like gravity and color theory, is liberal propaganda to confuse good Americans about the nature of the universe. It states that the universe is made of tiny strings of energy, which can not possibly be true because the universe is made of God-fearing, law-abiding, hard working American citizens.
History of M theoryEdit
M theory was created in 1971 by three communist Physicists searching for a means of creating a socialist insurgency in the American political landscape by commandeering the reins of the Democrat party. Their plans were foiled three years later by six Republican senators and two Catholics.
A resurgence of M theory research began in 1999 when the decendant of Karl Marx, Marcus Marx, established a secret laboratory in southern Arizona and began propagandistic operations throughout the region.
Combatting M theoryEdit
Just remember that this "theory" has been widely published and is, therefore, malicious lies. If a scientist ever mentions strings or parallel universes or dimensions, know that he is un-American and probably unemployed and sever ties.

3 Reasons To Buy Apple, Inc. Stock Ahead Of IPhone 7 Launch
- Apple stock has gained significantly after bouncing off its May lows.
- The recent rally could prompt investors to take profits at the current price levels.
- However, there are 3 key reasons to buy Apple stock ahead of the upcoming iPhone launch.
Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) stock price has gained 18%+ from its lows of May. The stock closed the last trading session on August 26th at $106.94, up from the May 13th close price of $90.5. With the recent rally in the stock price, an important question on the minds of investors would be if now is the right time to take some profits. However, there are still strong reasons to be a buyer of Apple stock, as explained below.
Apple Stock Runs Up In Price Ahead Of iPhone Launches
Apple stock has, historically, made good gains in the weeks leading up to the iPhone launches. With about 10 days to go for the iPhone7 launch (On September 7), let's understand where Apple stock could be headed in the coming days. From the chart below, we can see how Apple stock price has climbed in the last weeks of August and first few days of September over the last 5 years.
Source: Stockcharts
The average gain to peak price in the 10 days preceding an iPhone launch has been over 2% over the last 5 years. Hence, investors looking for short-term profits should go long the stock at the current price.
Also, Apple stock price is currently trading above its key simple moving averages (SMA). The 50-day SMA, at 101.16, is marginally below the 200 day SMA value of 101.68, indicating that a bullish crossover could be just round the corner. Given the potential for a rally over the coming days, the SMA crossover could also provide long term investors an entry point to go long the Apple stock.
Apple Offers An Attractive Dividend Yield
Apple's dividend yield is currently near the higher end of its 5-year range, which could mean that the stock is underpriced, as per some dividend investment strategies. With the current dividend yield of 2.1%, the stock provides income investors with ample reasons to go long the stock, especially in anticipation of the expected capital gains ahead.

Apple stock Valuations
Apple stock is currently trading on the lower side of its historic valuations. The stock is trading below its average 5 year PE multiple of 13.7, with the trailing twelve months PE multiple (TTM) at 12.5. On an ex-cash basis, Apple stock continues to trade at a PE multiple of around 8, reinforcing the belief that the stock is trading cheap and is attractive in comparison to historic valuations.
Source: Apple PE ratio chart by amigobulls.com
Apple bears and bulls are focused on the upcoming launch of iPhone 7. With 10 days to go ahead of the iPhone 7 launch, investors should buy Apple stock to benefit from a potential pre-iPhone launch rally. Also, with the dividend yield near the high end of the historic range and valuations below 5-year averages, Apple stock makes a compelling buy ahead of the upcoming iPhone 7 launch.
Comments on this article and AAPL stock
Apple stock presents an attractive investment, with a short-term upside over the next few days as we head into the iPhone7 launch. Hence, it would be a good move to buy now for some short term gains.

The previous borrowing base and availability was determined on December 13, 2013, concurrent with the closing of the Company's previously announced $20.6 million acquisition. The next borrowing base adjustment is scheduled to occur subsequent to a lender review of reserves as of June 30, 2014.

text: LONDON, April 15, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- GovDelivery, a leader in cloud-based communication solutions for government, announced today availability of a series of white papers by Liz Azyan focused on maximising citizen communications in an online world. The first in the series of white papers, entitled " Digital Communications and Channel Shift in Government" discusses the opportunities and challenges for government organisations embracing digital communications. Additionally, the paper addresses the value of an integrated digital communications strategy, particularly in overcoming some of these challenges. To that end, the other papers in the series, entitled " Integrating Email in Government Communications" and " Integrating Social Media in Government Communications," focus on email and social media, and their roles in an integrated digital communications strategy. In one of the white papers, Liz states that, "My observations of government communications in the digital age is that there is far greater opportunity to engage with citizens more efficiently and more effectively provided government organisations are willing to go beyond just the channel shift of how engagement occurs to increasing the frequency of engagement. It is absolutely essential that government narrow the 'communicative distance' with its citizens and make the interaction more personal." Liz notes that public sector organisations can achieve this goal by integrating social media and email into their channel shift initiatives, and ultimately cultivate better relationships with citizens as a result of more frequent, consistent and measurable communication. Furthermore, she demonstrates how this can be accomplished while saving money, which is clearly important as resources continue to be constrained by budget cuts and increasing demand. "We are excited to bring back Liz's expertise and innovative thinking on government communications to government agencies as they work to maximise direct connections with citizens and stakeholders," said Dave Worsell, Director of Government Solutions, GovDelivery. "Liz brings a unique perspective and we greatly appreciate her experience and willingness to share ideas, helping practitioners realise the true benefits of an integrated communications strategy in an increasingly challenging environment. We firmly concur with her conclusions that frequent and meaningful communication drives citizen engagement and that an integrated digital communications strategy is at the heart of a successful government communications strategy."

Product Review: Rattan Cane with Suede Handle 30″ by @Stockroom_com
Ooo, what's that?
Recently, a few people have asked me about a good cane to start with. I always cringe when I'm asked this because canes are no joke. I don't want people to come back to me all, "You said this was a good cane, but all it did was hurt!" all stompy, and whiny, and stuff, so I almost always preface my answer with extremely patronizing questions like, "You do realize canes hurt, right?" and "Have you been spanked before?" and "Are you sure you're a masochist?" People probably think I'm an asshole, but I'm just looking out for you, man!
But I guess every newbie kinkster's gotta start somewhere. If I had to suggest a place to start, this would be it. It's the 30″ Rattan Cane with Suede Handle by Stockroom. And it is glorious.
What'd it come in?
The rattan cane was lovingly packaged in brown packing paper, and placed inside a brown cardboard box. It says something like JTT Enterprise on the label, so even if someone saw and did know what JT's Stockroom is, they wouldn't know that's where your toy was from.
They might, however, be curious about what you ordered that came in such a long box. Blueprints, maybe? Yeah…blueprints for the perfect kinky night.
How's it made?
This cane is made of rattan, obviously, with a bit of suede wrapped around the end making a handle. It's about thirty inches long and just under an inch around, but the measurements of your cane might be different as these canes are handmade. It also comes in a twenty-three inch version, but M likes his canes long.
Rattan is a segmented stem, like bamboo, but rattan isn't hollow, and is much stronger. It's different densities, and sizes, and it has to be processed before it can be made into a cane and used on your bottom. Basically, what that entails is sanding, soaking and steaming to straighten, and varnishing to protect.
What's it for?
A sound spanking. Though a cane is a much different pain than one feels from a hand or whip. It can be used all over the body, but take care around danger zones, like the spine, joints, fingers and toes.
This is where M usually says "Some of the smallest bones in your body are in there!" and I gently remind him that the smallest bones in your body are in your ear, and he responds with something smart. Or intelligent, rather. Though often smart-mouthed, too. He's good that way.
How is it?
|Rayne's Rating:
simple design
smooth and splinter free
feels pretty amazing if
you're into that sort of thing
|bends with use
M and I love rattan canes, and especially this one.
M's big on long, flexible canes. He likes the way they feel when they're slicing the air in his hand. And this cane gives a satisfying swish.
I love and hate canes. The bite is definitely not like anything I've ever felt. He can use it to really hurt me if he wants to, but controls the beating so that it dances between almost too light to just beyond my pain tolerance to push my boundaries. This cane is perfect for that.
This is actually our second cane of this nature. Though they're made the same, I'm not sure where the first one came from. It's a popular design, so it could have come from anywhere.
The first cane is a little heavier than the second, but that could be because they're from different batches. The cool thing about that, though, is that their bite is just a little bit different.
These canes last a good long time. We've had our first one at least eight years, and all that's really happened to it is it has changed color, and the end is starting to splinter. But we've moved at least four times since we got it, and we didn't always have the snazzy case we keep all our impact toys in now, so it could be caused by that. It could also be caused by the fact that someone used it to play with the kitten between sessions. Not mentioning any names…M.
The only real con to canes made of rattan is something that manufacturers can't do anything about. It's a quality of the material that is actually sought after. Rattan needs one of two things to break; extreme pressure, or total dryness. It's actually varnished while it's still wet to seal in some of the moisture to keep it from becoming brittle. So when you're caning someone with rattan, it tends to wrap around their curves, some. Eventually, because it bends instead of breaking, it will start to curve a bit, as you can see in the images above.
M thinks this is awesome. I worry that it will eventually curl up like a fiddle head fern. Luckily, they're not that expensive, so if we have to, we can just order a new one. On the other hand, rattan's also not that difficult to straighten.
Anything else I should know?
Always test impact toys out on something that is not your partner. Your couch, your bed, a stuffed animal…anything without, like, muscle tissue and skin that you can cause damage to. Once you think you've got the hang of this cane, test it on your own body parts before your bottom's. Especially if you've never used a cane before. This way, you know what it feels like, and are better able to gauge how it feels to your bottom.
Maintaining rattan really isn't all that difficult. I found this great guide that requires soap suds (just the suds) and boiled linseed oil, but it's for furniture. I've never taken it that far. That could be why our first cane is so curved now. I've considered restraightening it, but I don't know how the varnish will react. I guess now that we have a second one, I could give it a shot without worrying too much about ruining the old one. Aside from the sentimental value, anyway.
Where'd ya get it?
Stockroom provided this cane to us free of charge in exchange for an honest review. JT's Stockroom was founded in 1988 by Joel Tucker (JT), a kinky college kid on a budget who just wanted quality leather cuffs that fit his budget and couldn't find them. So he took up leatherwork and made his own (along with some other restraints), and then later started selling them on BBSes (pre-internet bulletin boards) while making them out of his bedroom. Now they're known around the world, having been featured in Playboy's Foursome, ABC's Castle, and, of course, FX's American Horror Story.
