I have been wearing these shoes for a very long time now. These shoes are by far my favorite footwear I have ever and probably will ever wear.With that being said, lets get the cons out of the way. The foxing on these shoes are a bit flimsy. After a few weeks of wearing these shoes the foxing starts to separate from the canvas where your foot bends. Also, if you have white foxing, it will stain fairly easily.Now to the pros of these shoes. Ahhhh, where should I start?These shoes are the best shoes for casual wear, any type of skateboarding sport, fast or slow, going to the boardwalk, going to a party, going to your friends house, etc. These shoes are pretty much the best for ANYTHING! I have ran miles in these shoes, skated down a hill at 40 mph in these shoes, I have hiked in these shoes, and the list goes on and on!The canvas of these shoes is top notch material that is very durable. I have taken several falls in these and it has barely frayed. The canvas has been through the rain and mud and the only stain on it is from paint. Speaking of paint, these shoes are perfect for custom artwork that really is 'you.' People all around have their Vans painted, both guys and girls.Bottom line is that these classic shoes are great for anyone no matter what you do or where your from. These are a MUST BUY!

When i wear these shoes i get really bad blisters on the back of my heels. I have to wear super thick socks with them because heel socks (which are my favorite) are too thin. I was disappointed because i really like the look of the shoes for everyday. I bought the shoes in purple and it looks really cute. I do not see myself buying these again. I own a pair of classic slip-ons and i do not experience the same problem with those. I think that this shoe should be made with a little more cushion in the heel and then they would be perfect!

USDA's 10 year projections for commodity production, economics, and trade were released Feb. 11, the second in a series of long term agricultural projections from the federal government.
The Congressional Budget Office released its data a week ago, with both pushing and pulling on the market with their focus on the 2013 crop. The USDA's specific projections for the new crop year will be released February 21 & 22 at the Agricultural Outlook Forum.
The USDA report is based on normal weather, no economic surprises, and production trends. While they may not have the surprise that makes for excitement in the market place, the projections refine trends that are important to the market.
Instead of summarizing the 105 pages of data, significant trends were selected, many of them for the next 10 years:
US and global economy:
- Global economic growth is forecast at 3.3 percent, while US economic growth is forecast at 2.6 percent.
- Overall, birth rates will decline, but 82 percent of the population growth will be in developing nations.
- The value of the dollar will continue to depreciate, which will enhance exports.
- Oil prices that have recently averaged $93 per barrel, will average $120 by the end of the decade.
- About 35 percent of corn use will be for ethanol, but production increases will slow as demand for gasoline slows.
- World meat demand grows at an annual rate of 1.8 percent, primarily in Africa and the Mid-east.
- Prices for many major crops are projected to decline in the near term as global production responds to recent high prices. But prices will hold above pre-2007 levels.
- Improved livestock-sector net returns provide economic incentives for expansion.
- Over the latter half of the projection period, livestock prices generally rise, reflecting a moderate pace of production expansion combined with increasing domestic use and export demand.
- Farm income is projected to reach a record high nominal level in 2013 reflecting high commodity prices as well as large crop insurance indemnities paid to the sector. Although projected to decline from this record as commodity prices retreat, strengthening global food demand, a weaker dollar, and sustained biofuel demand keep net farm income historically high over the projection period.
- While some slowing is expected, China's economic growth is expected to average around 7.8 percent over the next decade. This growth in per capita income is expected to move a significant number of people out of poverty and continue to boost food demand.
US Crops:
- In the short term, the U.S. crops sector responds to continuing high prices for most crops in 2012/13. Planted area for the 8 major field crops in 2013 is projected at more than 254 million acres. While that is down from the large acreage planted in 2012 when favorable spring weather combined with strong economic incentives, 2013 plantings would be the second largest acreage since 2000.
- The combination of world economic growth, a depreciating dollar, and continued expansion of global biofuels production supports longer run gains in world consumption and trade of crops.
- Acreage enrolled in the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) is projected to decline below 28 million acres in 2013-14 before rising back to close to 32 million acres by the end of projection period.
- Assuming that corn planting progress by the middle of May 2013 is at the average over the past 10 years of 80 percent, that June weather is not extremely dry, and that average weather occurs in July, the model suggests a 2013 corn yield of about 164.3 bushels an acre.
- After the 96.9 mil planted acres in 2012 and a projected 96 mil. in 2013, USDA expects corn acreage will decline and float between 88 and 92 million.
- Average corn prices will drop to $5.40 for the new crop and never above $5 for a yearly average through 2023.
- Similarly, with average July-August weather and June weather that is not extremely dry, the soybean model suggests a 2013 yield of 44.6 bushels an acre. The weighted average of soybean yield estimates for alternative levels of July-August precipitation results in a lower mean expected soybean yield for 2013 of 44.5 bushels per acre.
- Strong wheat prices and expected net returns boost wheat plantings for 2013. However, with relatively weak overall demand growth projected for wheat, producer returns initially fall and then rise less than returns for other crops in subsequent years. This leads to a decline in wheat plantings to 50 million acres by the end of the projection period.
- U.S. soybean plantings decline from high levels of 2012 during the initial years of the projections, as prices and producer returns fall. Over the rest of the projection period, growth in both domestic use and export demand lead to increases in prices and returns. Soybean plantings increase somewhat before remaining steady toward the end of the projections.
- Soybean plantings are expected to reach 77 million acres this year, and float between 74 and 76 million.
Agricultural Trade:
- Global trade in soybeans and soybean products has risen rapidly since the early 1990s, and has surpassed global trade in wheat and total coarse grains. Continued strong growth in global demand for vegetable oil and protein meal, particularly in China and other Asian countries, is expected to maintain soybean and soybean-product trade well above wheat and coarse grain trade throughout the next decade.
- World soybean trade is projected to rise rapidly during the next 10 years, but at a slower pace than in recent years, climbing nearly 39 million tons (37 percent), to 144 million tons.
- China's soybean imports have risen sharply and now account for more than half of world trade. Over the coming decade, China will face policy decisions regarding the tradeoffs between producing and importing corn and soybeans. The projections assume that Chinese policies will pursue increasing corn production and letting soybean imports increase to fill the shortfall in domestic production.
- World coarse grain trade is projected to increase 27 percent between 2013/14 and 2022/23. During this period, corn is expected gain an increasing share of world coarse grain trade. The expansion of livestock production in feed-deficit countries continues to be the principal driver.
- China's imports of corn are projected to rise steadily and reach 19.6 million tons by 2022/23. China's strengthening domestic demand for corn is driven by its expanding livestock and industrial sectors.
- U.S. corn exports are projected to rebound in 2013/14 and then trend upward to a record high by 2022/23. However, the U.S. share of world corn exports only rises to 46 percent, well below the 65 percent average share during the two decades preceding 2010/11.
- World wheat trade (including flour) is projected to expand by 22 million tons (16 percent) between 2013/14 and 2022/23, rising to nearly 164 million tons. Growth in wheat imports is concentrated in those developing countries where income and population gains drive increases in demand.

AUBURN HILLS, Mich. -- Once Lakers forward Metta World Peace locked up with Detroit guard Brandon Knight, Pistons fans evoked the former Ron Artest's involvement in the Palace brawl eight years ago.
World Peace's flagrant foul type 1 Sunday was mild. He locked his arms around Knight with 1:43 left in the second quarter, prompting World Peace and Knight to shove each other.
"He's a small guy," World Peace said. "He was guarding me and I was crashing the boards. He's a tough kid."

A healthy salad like this Crunchy Chopped Salad with Gorgonzola and Radishes is one of my favorite things to have for lunch. What makes chopped salad so appealing in my mind is the crunch factor, often achieved by using less lettuce and proportionally more other ingredients than most salads. This salad has romaine, arugula, radishes, celery, carrots, and sometimes cucumbers, but it's the savory combination of radishes, arugula, and Gorgonzola cheese that make it a wow for me. If you don't like all those flavors, use the ones you like and it will still be a nice crunchy salad.
My trick for Blue Cheese Dressing (which I could never give up completely for any diet) is to buy a famous brand of blue cheese dressing and then mix it half and half with buttermilk when I bring it home from the store. I actually prefer that lighter dressing, and since buttermilk only has 2.5 grams of fat in a cup, it makes the dressing much lower in fat. I even used to feed this "light" blue cheese dressing to my dad, a real blue cheese lover, and he never noticed a thing. (Ridiculously Easy Blue Cheese Coleslaw is another recipe where I use that trick to lighten up the blue cheese.)
Crunchy Chopped Salad with Gorgonzola
and Radishes
(Makes 2 large lunch salads or four side dish salads, recipe created by Kalyn.)
1 large handful (about 2 cups) chopped romaine lettuce
1 large handful (about 2 cups) chopped arugula or spinach
1 cup celery, sliced in 1/2 inch slices
1 cup radishes, cut in fourths lengthwise
2/3 cup carrots, cut in 1/2 inch slices
2 small cucumbers, cut in fourths, then sliced in 1/2 inch pieces (optional, I often leave out the cucumber)
3-4 T your favorite blue cheese salad dressing (I mix bottled blue cheese dressing half and half with buttermilk for a "light" blue cheese)
crumbled Gorgonzola cheese, about 1 T for each salad
fresh ground pepper to taste
Other veggies I might try in a salad with the radish/Gorgonzola cheese combination include chopped broccoli or cauliflower, red bell pepper, or fennel.

Not really a fan of Innova's stamps, so I quickly got rid of them as soon as I found out about disc dyeing. A friend of mine decided to join in. Sorry about the smudging, we had marked our emails quite clearly so I took care of those. =)
These were my first dyes. The two that bled like crazy were done before I realized that you really don't want to pull contact paper tight around the rim, it has a really bad habit of folding and breaking when pulled tight. Doesn't really bother me that much though. The one that worked out is now a bit different, I added some marbling to it with the saran wrap method as a test. The red one is a bit lighter color on purpose. Oh, and I got rid of the inks. These discs had been in use for quite some time. =)
This time I tried to do something with a bit more thought, there earlier ones were more practice than anything. Sadly I forgot the "contact paper doesn't like tight fits" rule I'd learned earlier. This is my thumber disc, or "the disc that will pierce through the heavens!" if you catch my drift.
These are the two discs my friend did. This time we made damn sure not to pull the contact paper too tight and lo and behold, it worked. The Valk with the butterflies (from Kono Minikuku mo Utsukushii Sekai btw) took ages to dye, tangerine really doesn't work that fast even with heat. They kinda fit the disc, since it's surprisingly fast and flutters uncontrollably when it gets windy.
So yeah, I think that's about that.

While she still hasn't spoken publicly about her pregnancy, it's pretty clear from today's photos of Reese Witherspoon vacationing in Costa Rica that her family is about to expand. The baby will be Reese's first with her husband of one year, Jim Toth, and will join big sis Ava, 12, and brother Deacon, 9.
Unlike some of her more daring Hollywood counterparts who bared it all in bikinis, Reese stayed covered up in a simple, one-piece tank. To get a look similar to Reese's laid-back maternity swim style, check out these 10 great picks for your own Spring break (and Summer)!

INDIANAPOLIS -- The Warriors had their three-game winning streak snapped, their feelings hurt and their resolve tested by the Indiana Pacers.
Golden State's 108-97 loss Tuesday was a rugged, scrappy, intense affair, punctuated by a fourth-quarter scuffle that spilled into the seats. Perhaps most important, it probably was a sign of what's to come.
As the season winds to a close, and the importance of the games increase, the Warriors will have to reach a higher level.
"Teams are gearing up for playoff basketball, ramping up the intensity a little bit," point guard Stephen Curry said. "It's going to happen. It's healthy just to not back down, be physical. You'd like to not see that tussle happen. But for the most part, it was just a good, clean physical game that we have to expect for the rest of the year."
The Pacers' size and athleticism, their hands-on style of play, disturbed the Warriors' fluidity. The Warriors committed 20 turnovers, leading to 29 points for Indiana. On top of that, Curry seemed to be the only reliable offense.
Curry had a season-high
38 points on 14-of-20 shooting. But the rest of the Warriors were 19 of 56 from the field (33.9 percent).
"Turnovers were a big problem once again," forward David Lee said after totaling 12 points, 12 rebounds, four steals and five turnovers. "Overall they outplayed us. They had more guys contribute than we did."
On the other end of the court, three Pacers stars had their way. Forward David West had 28 points on 12-of-16 shooting, dominating the inside. All-Star forward Paul George set the tone with his
activity on both ends, producing
21 points, 11 rebounds, four assists and three steals.
And point guard George Hill, at least for the first half, went toe-to-toe with Curry. Hill finished with 23 points and seven assists. Indiana shot 48.8 percent, taking full advantage of getting eight more shots than the Warriors.
No doubt, the Pacers are a formidable team, and they had a handy loss at Oracle in December fresh on their minds.
"We were up for this game," George said.
That's certainly what the Warriors can expect the rest of the season and especially in the final three games on this trip. Are the Warriors ready to knuckle down for the grind?
They nearly knuckled up, literally, Tuesday. With 6:10 left in the game and the Warriors down 95-85, Lee and the Pacers' Roy Hibbert exchanged shoves under the basket.
"I thought he kind of led with his elbow a little bit on the initial duck in," Lee said. "I shoved him back a little bit, and I think it kind of escalated quick from there."
Curry was trying to separate the two and went to push Hibbert off his teammate. Hibbert threw Curry to the ground, and the Warriors point guard got up and took exception, so Hibbert threw him down again.
"Seriously, I didn't even feel him," the 7-foot-2 Hibbert said. "He just ran up on me. I don't know. It's between me and David Lee, and (Curry) wants to get involved. ... I don't want to start anything with someone that's smaller than me. If I have somebody my size, we'll talk it out like men. ... I probably did toss the little guy to the side."
The scrum escalated into a tumbleweed of shoving that wound up in the first two rows on the baseline. Replays showed West bulling through the ruckus and grabbing Warriors center Andris Biedrins' head.
When the dust settled, Hibbert was ejected, and West, Curry, Lee and Klay Thompson were hit with technical fouls.
The melee seemed to inspire the Pacers, who followed with a 9-2 run to put the game away.
"Two teams competing hard, two teams wanting to win," Lee said. "We leave that kind of stuff on the floor, and I don't think there is too much conversation that needs to come of it."
The Warriors' next three games figure to be just as intense and physical. With starting center Andrew Bogut out indefinitely -- he missed his second consecutive game because of back spasms -- will Golden State have enough bite left to weather the storm?
Perhaps their 42 turnovers the past two games are a sign the Warriors are wilting under the pressure.
Perhaps their 52 points in the paint the past two games (on 39.4 percent shooting) show they aren't ready for playoff-caliber basketball.
Or, maybe they are willing, as Curry taking on a 7-footer suggests. But they have to learn how to take it up a notch. The clock is ticking.
* Lee experienced stiffness and soreness in his left shoulder after the game and said it was possible he might not play in New York on Wednesday.
Lee said he suffered the injury in the second quarter when the Pacers' Orlando Johnson bulled through a screen and rammed into Lee.


text: I have some quick questions. I am wondering if anyone practices Theravada in Minneapolis/St. Paul and where they go? I've found a few places of interest and would like to attend http://sitagumn.org/ but it seems that it is largely for a Burmese community and it's unclear when they do meditation, talks, etc. from their website. Do you guys think I would be welcomed? Also do you think they would do their talks solely in Burmese? Does anyone have any recommendations for me? I've been studying Buddhism for a while and want to become more formal in my learning and learn more about mediation, especially Vispassana.

2004 Subaru Forester Problems
RepairPal has identified the most common problems with the 2004 Subaru Forester based on complaints from actual vehicle owners. We'll tell you what the problem is and what it'll take to fix it.
The front oxygen (air fuel ratio) sensor element may develop a crack, causing the Check Engine Light to illuminate. Subaru has recalled certain models to replace sensors that may fail. The Subaru service program number is WXW-80, this is not a government mandated recall.
Sometimes the Check Engine Light illuminates because the computer detects misfires. Subaru released an improved spark plug wire set to solve the problem. The ignition coil should also be inspected for carbon tracks or short circuits between the contacts
The Check Engine Light may illuminate because of low catalytic converter efficiency. This same issue may cause the car to fail the State Smog Test if one is required.
An oil leak can develop from the spark plug tube seals. Excess oil in the spark plug tubes can result in engine misfires and illumination of the Check Engine Light. Our technicians tell us that removing the valve cover and replacing the tube seals and cover gasket is necessary to correct this concern. Oil damaged spark plugs, ignition wires, and ignition coils will also require replacement.
The Check Engine Light may illuminate because of a failed knock sensor. Although the sensor often tests okay, it can fail intermittently, while the vehicle is being driven.
Front engine oil leaks can develop from the camshaft seal and the crankshaft front seal. If one or more seals require replacement, it may be wise to consider replacing the timing belt as well. These seals are commonly inspected and replaced as needed as part of a timing belt service.

Darbepoetin Alfa (Aranesp®)
Pronounced: DAR-be-POE-e-tin AL-fa
Classification: Erythropoiesis-Stimulating Agent
About Darbepoetin Alfa (Aranesp®)
Darbepoetin alfa works by stimulating red blood cell production in the bone marrow. In our bodies, a decrease in the number of red blood cells or hemoglobin level causes the kidneys to release a protein called erythropoietin, which in turn stimulates the bone marrow to make more red blood cells. Darbepoetin alfa is a man-made version of erythropoietin, which can also stimulate red blood cell production.
Darbepoetin alfa is not a cancer treatment, but a supportive care medicine. This means it is used to counteract the effects of cancer and its treatments. This medication can also be used to treat anemia caused by chronic kidney disease.
How to Take Darbepoetin Alfa
Darbepoetin alfa is most often given as a subcutaneous injection (given under the skin), but can also be given intravenously (into a vein, or IV). The actual dose is based on your body size and will be determined by your healthcare provider. You may receive darbepoetin alfa at your treatment site or self-administer at home.
Storage and Handling
Do not shake or freeze darbepoetin alfa. Store vials in the refrigerator and protect them from light. Keep the vials out of the reach of children. Do not reuse single dose vials, syringes or needles. Do not throw the vials, syringes, or needles in the household trash. Dispose of all used needles and syringes in a puncture-proof disposable container with a lid. The FDA provides further information about the disposal of vials, syringes and needles.
Where do I get this medication?
Depending on your insurance coverage, this medication may be supplied by a home infusion company or through a specialty pharmacy. If covered through your pharmacy plan, your oncology team will work with your prescription drug plan to identify an in-network specialty pharmacy for distribution of this medication and shipment directly to your home.
Insurance Information
Depending on your insurance coverage, this medication may be covered under your major medical plan OR your prescription plan. Your oncology team will work with your insurance company and pharmacy plan to determine who will supply the drug. Patient assistance may be available to qualifying individuals without prescription drug coverage. Co-pay assistance through private, third party foundations may also be available to those who meet income and diagnostic requirements. Your care team can help you find these resources, if they are available.
Possible Side Effects
There are a number of things you can do to manage the side effects of darbepoetin alfa. Talk to your doctor or nurse about these recommendations. They can help you decide what will work best for you. These are some of the most common side effects:
High Blood Pressure
This medication can cause high blood pressure (hypertension). Patients should have their blood pressure checked regularly during therapy. Any hypertension should be treated appropriately. If hypertension cannot be controlled, the medication may be stopped. Report any headache or dizziness to your provider.
Allergic Reactions
In some cases, patients can have an allergic reaction to this medication. Signs of a reaction can include: shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, chest pain, rash, flushing or itching or a decrease in blood pressure. If you notice any changes in how you feel during the injection/infusion, let your nurse know immediately.
Development of Antibodies
A very rare side effect is the possibility that your body may make antibodies against erythropoietin. These antibodies can block or reduce your body's ability to make red blood cells, causing severe anemia. Symptoms of severe anemia include worsening tiredness, lack of energy, and/or shortness of breath. If you experience these symptoms, call your healthcare provider.
Blood Clots, Heart Attack and Stroke
This medication can increase the risk of blood clots, stroke and heart attack. If you experience symptoms of these problems, you should contact your healthcare provider immediately or go to an emergency room. Symptoms can include: swelling, redness or pain in an extremity, a cool or pale arm or leg, chest pain or pressure, pain in your arm, back, neck or jaw, shortness of breath, numbness or weakness on one side of the body, trouble talking, confusion or mental status changes.
Other Concerns
Studies of this medication have found that it may make some tumors grow faster, or result in people dying sooner from their cancer. In addition, some patients had serious heart problems, including heart attack, stroke and heart failure. For these reasons, there are strict restrictions on which patients can receive this therapy. Your doctor will talk to you about the risks of this therapy prior to starting treatment.

The Colts not only erased an 18-point deficit, but they accomplished their improbable goal of earning a game ball for Pagano, who is in the hospital fighting acute promyelocytic leukemia.
"This is for Chuck," Wayne said after he left an emotional, tear-filled Colts locker room.
Wayne has been friends with Pagano since they were at the University of Miami together, Wayne as a player and Pagano as an assistant coach.
"I wasn't sure how it would go with being fined," Wayne said. "If they fine me, they fine me. I feel like that'd be a terrible thing to do with everything going on. But I'd take their fine and go do it for Chuck."
The Colts won the game on a 13-play, 80-yard drive directed by rookie quarterback Andrew Luck, who finished 31 of 55 passing for a career-best 362 yards and two scores.
Luck hit Wayne five times on the game-winning drive, including one third-down play where he escaped Packers linebacker Clay Matthews. Luck also ran for a third-down conversion to set up the final touchdown with 35 seconds left.
The Colts trailed 21-3 at halftime before they came back with a furious second half. Green Bay's Mason Crosby missed a potential game-tying 51-yard field goal at the end.
"Greatest win I've ever been a part of," interim coach Bruce Arians said. "A storybook ending, and we got a game ball for Coach Pagano."
After spotting Green Bay a 21-3 lead, the Colts defense put substantial pressure on Green Bay quarterback Aaron Rodgers. They sacked him five times and hit him six other times. Cory Redding, one of the players closest to Pagano because of their time in Baltimore together, had two sacks. Dwight Freeney (playing for the first time since the season opener), Robert Mathis and Moise Fokou also had sacks.
"A band of brothers just came together," Arians said. "This team overcame something no one gave them a shot to do. Now we have to carry it over."
Colts owner Jim Irsay left after the game to present Pagano with the game ball at the IU Health Simon Cancer Center. Arians said some of the players hoped to visit the coach later Sunday night.

3 Tips to Avoid Writing an Exaggerated Resume
Exaggerated Resumes Can Quickly Ruin Your Job Search
By Jessica Holbrook Hernandez,
Expert Resume Writer
As you can imagine, lying on your resume is always a no-no. If you feel you must avoid the truth, then you are probably applying for the wrong job. But what if you want to just exaggerate a bit - such as switching your title to one that sounds more impressive? Or stating that you won an award that you were only nominated for?
The truth is, no matter how you slice it, there's nothing to gain from exaggerating on your resume. But if exaggerating is out of the question, how can you make yourself sound more impressive? Take a look at a few ways you can make improvements to your overall job search without stretching the truth.
1. Use Action-Oriented Descriptions
Rather than relying on a skill you do not possess - or an accomplishment belonging to someone else - to improve your resume, try finding better ways to describe your current qualifications. This involves moving away from a responsibilities/duties-driven resume to one that is action-oriented.
For instance, suppose one of your primary roles was to file documents but you also had a great idea to develop a new filing system for your department - a goal you completed on your own. On your resume, rather than writing: "Was responsible for filing documents," write "Initiated and developed a new filing system utilized by the entire legal department."
In this case, the description is still true but offers more insight into your leadership capabilities.
2. Beef Up Your Cover Letter
Assuming you have included a cover letter with your application for employment, you can utilize this tool as a way to back up claims made in your resume while creating a more vivid picture of who you are as a job candidate.
Beefing up your cover letter can include telling a story about your love of the field and how you reached your current level of success. Or you could tell a specific story about a challenge you overcame and what you learned from it; this could provide the hiring manager with a sense of your diligence and also display your commitment to the position and your field as a whole.
Work to Improve Your Qualifications
If you're not happy with your current qualifications, take time to improve them. Enroll in training courses or college classes that can show your willingness to improve your skills - and, of course, list your progress on your resume. This way, employers will recognize your dedication and your willingness to boost your value as a candidate.
Remember, exaggerating your qualifications on your resume is always dangerous. Employers have amazing ways of checking out your background, so the last thing you want to do is represent yourself as someone you're not.
Instead, take pride in your current qualifications while working to improve those you lack. The fact that you're working toward becoming a more qualified professional could be quite impressive to a hiring manager looking for an honest and well-qualified employee.

This framey embossed board card is a great way to celebrate Christmas, Easter or a Communion! By using the Illusion Embossing Board you can create this beautiful and unique card for a special occasion or holiday.
- Illusion Embossing Board
- 6mm Embossing Tool
- 1 Sheet Of Letter Size Card
- Pieces Of Scrap Card Or Design Paper
- Metallic Card
- Drier Sheet Or Candle
- Embellishments
- Foam Pads
Step 1
Take a piece of cardstock and lay this face down on the board butted up against the raised upstands in the top left hand corner.
Rub the drier sheet or candle onto the wrong side of the card which is facing you. This will make the reverse of the card slippy, and enable the tool to glide smoothly over the sheet.Take the embossing tool and insert into the leader channel at the top of the board.
Step 2
Taking the embossing tool; push it into the leading channel at the top left of the board. Pull the tool towards you until you feel a resistance; this usually means the channel has changed direction or pattern.
Feel you way with the tool until you have completed the outer design of the frame. Push the tool into the leader channel again pulling it down the board until it locates in the second frame, now emboss the second frame. Leave this to one side for later.
Step 3
Take a sheet of Design paper large enough to fit over the second frame design. Hold it in place with low tack tape so the paper doesn't move when you emboss it. Locate the tool into the leading channel and with an even pressure pull the tool towards you until you are lined up to emboss the second frame.
Emboss the second frame then cut it out on the outside of the embossing. Tip If you use a heavily patterned paper it may be difficult to followthe embossed line so turning it over to cut it out may be easier.
Step 4
Take a second sheet of design paper and once again; locating the tool into the lead channel; pull the tool towards you until you have located the 2nd inner frame. Emboss around this frame then cut out around the outside of the embossed line again. Repeat this once more locating the tool into the inner frame channel and cutting out around the embossed line.
Stick the design paper on top and you have instant created a matting and layering effect.
Step 5
Take 2 sheets of scrap paper and lay them on the opposite sideboard as shown in the picture. This leaves only a cross section of the pattern. Lay the metallic card onto the top right of the board (over the exposed shape) then emboss the cross shape omitting the centre score line on both the vertical and horizontal lines from the leading channel.
Cut around the cross on the outside of the embossed line. Add foam pads to the back of the cross and stick into place. Embellish the cross with a small display of paper flowers and sentiments.

Mayor Bob Filner invoked his veto powers for the first time Friday, blocking the City Council's appointments to the Port Commission.
The move sets up another public showdown between the new mayor and council President Todd Gloria less than two months into Filner's tenure. The two sparred last week over appointments to the San Diego Association of Governments.
Filner's decision puts the fate of the would-be port commissioners — attorney Rafael Castellanos and businessman Marshall Merrifield — in serious doubt. The council has 30 days to override the veto with six votes, but that may be difficult given its current 4-4 split between Democrats and Republicans. If the override fails, the city would have to start over or delay the decision until the vacant District 4 seat is filled.
Filner said he vetoed the council's choices for several reasons, including the lack of a District 4 council member to weigh in after Tony Young's Jan. 1 resignation. He also said the city should develop a vision and policy direction for appointees to follow and reshape the appointment process to ensure commissioners can be held accountable by the city.
"The Port District plays a vital role in our community and is central to the economic and cultural success of our region," Filner said. "We need to have a vision of the Port that these Commissioners can carry out."
Gloria responded by saying the two selections would serve the city's interests well and he would schedule a hearing to override the veto.
"After the State of the City address where the mayor stressed the importance of the port to our economic future, he appears to want to leave the city of San Diego unrepresented on the Port Commission for the foreseeable future," said Gloria, who like Filner is a Democrat.
If the city waits until the District 4 seat is filled, it could be several months before the port appointments are made. The District 4 special election is March 26, but if no one wins a majority as expected, the top two finishers would compete in runoff up to 49 days later.
Councilman Scott Sherman said he was disappointed by the mayor's decision. "The Port of San Diego is too important to our regional economy to be held up by partisan, Washington-style political games," he said.
Council Kevin Faulconer also said he would vote for the veto override and called leaving the spots vacant "a disservice to San Diego citizens."
During the Jan. 8 selection process, Gloria joined with his Republican colleagues to appoint Merrifield. Then the Republicans — Faulconer, Mark Kersey, Sherman and Lorie Zapf — returned the favor by voting with Gloria for Castellanos. It was seen as a compromise that saw each side of the political aisle get a preferred choice.
That quid pro quo didn't sit well with some Democrats who feel that the two openings could both be filled with Democrats if the decision is delayed until after the District 4 election, which has historically been won by Democrats.
Castellanos, a Democrat, is a partner with the law firm Solomon Minton Cardinal Doyle & Smith, where he specializes in commercial real estate and business transactions, and president of La Raza Lawyers Association.
Merrifield, a Republican, is former president and CEO of General Lock and Clark Security Products, a member of San Diego's Campaign to End Homelessness and was an economic adviser to former San Diego Mayor Jerry Sanders.
Castellanos and Merrifield would have replaced former commissioners Scott Peters, who was elected to Congress in November, and Lee Burdick, who resigned to become director of special projects and legal affairs for Filner.
The city has three seats on the seven-member Port Commission, with Bob Nelson as its only current member.

Jean Eleanor McFaddin and Susan Elaine Falk first met in 1962 at the University of Texas in Austin. McFaddin was from Dallas, and Falk was from Lufkin. They've been together for more than 40 years, but were finally legally married in Connecticut last week, according to The New York Times.
"You come to weddings, and they're about people making promises that they hope to keep in their marriage, and in truth, our marriage is an affirmation of a lifetime of promises that we've made and lived," McFaddin says. "We have fulfilled our commitments."
"She was the one, is the one and always will be the one," Falk says.

I enjoy my job about 80 percent of the time. For the most part, coming into the office is not work. It's about the challenges I will face as I watch the puzzle you call a newspaper come together from all over the building into one tight little package.
The last week of June I received a call from Francis Akins to tell me one of his staff was retiring. It was too close to deadline to do anything for that week's paper, but I pledged I'd be in Bronson Friday afternoon.
"He doesn't say much," Akins warned before hanging up.
As voters across Levy County mark absentee ballots, drive to Bronson for early voting or prepare to go to the polls Tuesday, one of the biggest questions they should ask is "Who will do the best job for me?"
Elected officials are often called public servants because their chief role is to serve the people who elect them into office.
And because your tax dollars pay the salaries of these men and women, you should make your voting decision just as if you were the owner of a business hiring a new employee.
Serving 53 consumers from its location in Otter Creek, the Levy Association for Retarded Citizens (LARC) provides much needed training for people who are searching for a way to adapt in a world that is not always kind to them.
Since July 2003, adult daycare funding has been cut 24 percent in the state of Florida and on July 1, 2008 the most recent cuts went into effect. Already LARC's executive director Betty Walker has cut staff hours and rearranged other staff members to serve the needs of their clients.
Banks are failing. Homeowners are being foreclosed upon. People are sacrificing simply to fill their gas tanks. In short, things are tough all over.
With dollars in demand and expenses on the rise, government agencies across the land have been asked to cut their budgets, trim the fat and work with what they have.
In Chiefland, two of those government offshoots have found cost-reducing ways to save the city, and ultimately the taxpayer, money.
It is said that the death of a child is the most difficult pain to bear: far-more soul wrenching than losing a parent, a sibling or a life partner.
It is also said that it takes a village to raise a child.
And so last September, when Army Specialist Brandon Tyler Thorsen was killed in the line of duty while voluntarily serving his country in Iraq, the villages of Trenton, Chiefland and the surrounding area joined his parents as we mourned our child.
My grandparents tuned in regularly to a radio segment called "The Swap Shop". For 15 minutes every day, people called in to offer something they had -for free or less than $20 or they called in to ask for items they needed.
It was the old-fashioned bartering system upgraded to the modern 20th century. With little or no money, you could get the products or services you needed in exchange for something you could offer up.
What's the deal with Brett Favre, anyway?
Has he taken too many blows to the noggin? Is senility or early signs of Alzheimer's settling in?
Back in March, he said he was retiring. Then a month later, he said he wants to still play. The Packers are ready to welcome him back, then he says he doesn't want to play.
Now, he wants his release from the Packers.
The Pack say no way. The last thing they need to see is Favre in an opposing NFC North team's uniform.
They reason the least he can do is hold a clipboard and mentor Aaron Rodgers.
While I have great respect for Gov. Crist and his continued commitment to preserving the environment, I feel that his intent to veto HB 7059 has been made without fully understanding the wide-reaching scope of this good environmental legislation. This legislation has many valuable components that seek to improve and strengthen the protection of our state's precious natural resources.
My life is good. I have a job that supplies my needs. Children who love me. Friends who support me. A man who understands real partnership.
Yes, indeed, my life is good and it takes a lot to get me riled.
I've mellowed a lot in my old age.
I once stressed about everything and now seldom stress about anything-though perhaps there are some things I should worry about.
When considering relationships, I weigh the good they do/are against the bad and if there are more positive things, I cling.
If they're negative, I cut my losses and move on.
This is a big weekend for many young people in Levy County, as they leave high school and move on to the next phase of their lives.
Graduation ceremonies are scheduled for most Levy County schools this weekend, a landmark day for a few hundred young adults who are ready to venture out into the world.
This graduating class has been through a little more than many of us.
Over the last decades, scores of men and women have fought and died in wars to preserve the ideals and beliefs we hold most dear. Many of the ones who paid the ultimate price for those ideals were youths barely in the bloom of adulthood. The crowded cemeteries bedecked with white crosses bear mute witness to their supreme sacrifice.

Congratulations are in order for the men and women who make up the Levy County Sheriff's Office Drug Task Force.
In the past month the task force has been able to bring about the arrests of dozens of alleged drug dealers. Many of those arrests came on the heels of investigations that lasted months and required countless man hours and dedication.
We also tip our hats to the Chiefland City Commission for having the foresight to set aside money in its budget that allows the city to be a member of the task force.
Take a look around you. Count three people. Stand back. Think. Statistically one of these three people will contract cancer. One of those three could be you.
And scarier still is that some 1,500 people die from cancer each day.
This Friday night at Chiefland High School, people dedicated to eliminating cancer and finding cures will come together to celebrate a year of fund-raising.
But the work doesn't stop there.
Kay and Luther Drummond were more than surprised Tuesday night when the Greater Chiefland Chamber of Commerce named them its Citizens of the Year.
They shouldn't have been.
For decades the Drummond name has been synonymous with giving back.
The couple has been on the frontline of helping build a better community through their civic leadership and generous financial giving.
The Drummonds have been instrumental in raising money for Haven Hospice through their Fall at the Farm event, last year securing more than $30,000 in contributions for the agency.
Even though qualifying for county and district political offices doesn't begin until June, already many candidates are out stumping for votes.
The Chiefland Citizen wants to ensure that all candidates are treated equally during the months ahead.
Following are a few notes worth mentioning as we launch into what promises to be a full depiction of the American electoral process.
I'd like to first say "Thank you Chiefland" for your beautiful support shown before, during and after the death of Mrs. Julia Haile. I'd like to give a very special thanks to the Greater Chiefland Area Chamber of Commerce for giving her and Papi (Mr. Haile) their flowers while they were able to see them by honoring them as Chiefland's Citizen of the year 2007. We don't know what the future holds for any of us, but we do know Who holds the future of all of us and I thank God for sending me here 13 years ago and placing Mr. and Mrs. Haile into my life.
One of my favorite photographs of my parents was snapped on an early summer afternoon. They had no idea that I had come out of my room only to return for my camera and capture them for all eternity in a rather endearing picture.
They were curled up at opposite ends of the sofa napping.
You see, both my parents always denied they napped.
"Just resting my eyes," my father would say.
"Oh, I wasn't asleep," my mother protested. "I just closed my eyes for a minute."
February may have come and gone, but the facts remain: every month should be Heart Month-especially if you're a woman.
Television commercials, print ads and even soap operas got in on the month-long message that women need to be more aware of their hearts.
And that's not the figurative heart that we give away on Valentine's Day.
Heart disease is now the leading cause of death among women in this country.
The reason? It's unclear.
When I sent out the call for celebrity sightings, someone asked what I was looking for.
My response: I'm not sure, but we'll see what defines celebrity to people.
I was right.
Most of the names you submitted I was aware of. Some were a little more obscure and I had to do my own Internet research to educate myself on names like Brenda Fraizer and Anthony Green.

Tattoos and attempted murder: 'Every week, a new turn or twist to the case'
COQUILLE, Ore. - A guilty plea and sentence bring to a close the case of David Wonnacott, the tattoo parlor owner accused of attempting to murder a rival shop owner.
"Every week we'd come in and there would be a new turn or twist to the case," said Det. John Bohanan with the North Bend Police Department.
Wonnacot pleaded guilty to attempted murder with a firearm, conspiring to tamper with a witness and being a felon in possesion of a firearm.
The investigation started at a North Bend tattoo shop in late July.
According to court documents, Wonnacot tried to elminate his cross-town competion by trying to shoot shop owner Brian Graham.
The gun didn't go off, and Wonnacot fled.
Eugene Police later arrested Wonnacott at the airport.
With the help of the FBI and other agencies around the state, investigators were able to track Wonnacott's GPS. The data showed him driving from Reno, Nevada, to North Bend.
"Very incriminating evidence that put Mr. Wonnacott in North Bend at the time and date of the attempted murder," Bohanan said.
Wannacot didn't stop there. While in jail, Wonnacott wrote letters trying to finish what he started.
"Which we believe was another attempted murder if not to get somebody to not testify in a proceeding against him," Bohanan said.
At sentencing, the victim, Brian Graham, called Wonnacott an evil person.
"There was mention that for the past year Mr. Graham has been worried about his safety and his families safety," Bohanan said.
The detective predicted Wonnacot would be under careful watch in prison.
"I wouldn't be surprised," he said, "by anything Mr. Wonnacott does at this point."

COQUILLE, Ore. - A North Bend tattoo shop owner pleaded guilty Tuesday to trying to kill a rival tattoo shop owner in 2013.
David Wonnacott pleaded guilty to one count of attempted murder in an attempt on the life of Brian Graham.
Wonnacott also pleaded guilty to conspiring to tamper with a witness and being a felon in possession of a firearm.
Graham told police Wonnacott pointed a gun at him but that the weapon appeared to jam.
Wonnacott was later arrested in Eugene after a shooting in North Bend.
While in jail, prosecutors brought additional charges of tampering with a witness from behind bars.
A judge sentenced him to 11 1/2 years in prison.

Arrieta set to keep pitching down the stretch
Right-hander fires seven shutout frames with nine K's in Sunday's win over Mets
NEW YORK -- Jake Arrieta missed the first month of the season because of tightness in his right shoulder and he has been monitored all year, but the Cubs have no plans to shut down the right-hander before the regular season ends.
Manager Rick Renteria said before Arrieta's start on Sunday that they were keeping an eye on Arrieta, and wanted to clarify that they do that for all of the pitchers.
"There's no plan in shutting Jake down," Renteria said before Monday's game against the Mets. "That's not something we're considering. We're not shutting him down. We're not looking to shut him down, we haven't talked about shutting him down."
Arrieta has 13 quality starts this season, and threw seven shutout innings on Sunday in a 2-1 win at Citi Field. After the game, he said he'd like to finish the season.
"I want to make every start that I have lined up throughout the end of September," Arrieta said. "If something comes up, I guess that will be addressed. I'd love to stay in the mix and finish out on a high note."
Arrieta struck out nine, and the first eight K's ended on curveballs.
"Jake's stuff is so good that days like [Sunday], the scouting report doesn't even matter," catcher John Baker said.
Most scouting reports have Arrieta throwing his curve about 15 percent of the time.
"He threw more [Sunday]," Baker said on Monday. "Against the last batter he faced [Matt den Dekker], I kept calling curveballs so maybe we could strike him out and get a 10th strikeout.
"That's how fun the game was -- you're trying to call the game to strike somebody out instead of trying to get them to put the ball in play on three pitches or less, which is how I usually call a game," Baker said. "That breaking ball -- it was like he was throwing Wiffle balls up there. I felt bad for the opposing hitters because that's something you don't usually see is somebody throwing an 82-mile-an-hour curveball that's that big."
Arrieta's last strikeout in the sixth came on a fastball.
"He struck out [Daniel] Murphy looking on the fastball because we thought he was looking for a curveball at that point," Baker said.

Massive growth in backbone network traffic and increasing traffic patterns are causing significant economic challenges for service providers. To address these challenges, they must evolve their backbone networks.
Current architectural approaches rely on network layers that are built and operated independently. This model contributes to scaling, provisioning, and operational inefficiencies that will soon go beyond the point where revenue can keep pace with needed investments.
Technology advances within a single network layer, although crucial, will not eliminate these inefficiencies. An innovative approach is needed that optimizes inter-layer boundaries to create a highly converged transport architecture.
This converged transport architecture must tightly integrate packet, optical time-division multiplexing (TDM), and dense wavelength-division multiplexing (DWDM) layers across hardware, control planes, management planes, and administrative domains. Doing so can create a network that is much more efficient, less complex, and easier to scale and operate.
This new converged transport architecture is based on the tight integration of:
Converged transport router platforms
These platforms can deliver massive scale, DWDM integration, optical transport network (OTN) switching, and advances in transport-class reliability, while still allowing flexibility for mixed core architectures. They also deliver superior scale, reliability, transport flexibility, and a very long lifespan.
An agile DWDM layer that supports dynamic 100 Gigabit and higher wavelengths
Eliminate the impediments to flexibility that affect much of the existing reconfigurable optical add-drop multiplexer (ROADM) installed base. Allow the adaptability normally associated only with the packet layer.
Extensions to GMPLS
Tightly integrate and consolidate the packet and DWDM layers without introducing scalability limits or organizational concerns.
Cisco nLight technology
This multi-layer packet and optical path optimization and signaling capability improves on GMPLS with crucial topology sharing and signaling functionality.
Cisco Prime network management technology
Facilitate top-to-bottom converged operations, administration, management, and provisioning (OAM&P), while allowing separate administrative domains in concert with existing management systems.
These elements, woven together, allow service providers to address all their scale, flexibility, and cost concerns at once, without sacrificing one for another.
- Cisco Network Convergence System 2000 Series
Deliver touchless programmability, massive scale, and ultra-long-haul performance necessary for today's and tomorrow's converged network architectures.

Monsanto is in the process of withdrawing its requests for cultivation of genetically modified seed crops in the European Union. Monsanto announced earlier this year it would be scaling back its GM seeds from the EU market.
Monsanto has already withdrawn four out of eight applications for GM corn traits in the EU, including MON810xNK603, MON89034, MON89034xMON88017 and MON89034xNK603.
MON810 is the only biotech corn being grown in the EU, and Monsanto plans to continue to sell in the EU.
Reports that Monsanto had applied for SmartStax in Europe were inaccurate, according to Monsanto's UK spokesman, Mark Buckingham. Monsanto never applied for cultivation approval for that variety. SmartStax is still undergoing evaluation for the EU market.
EU's negative stance toward biotech crops led to Monsanto's announcement in July that it would be scaling back its GM crops in Europe. But this does not mean that Monsanto is withdrawing from the EU market all together. The company intends to focus on investing in conventional seed production and breeding.

STAGE TUBE: Behind the Scenes of Huntington's INVISIBLE MAN
Come behind the scenes of Invisible Man at the Huntington Theatre Company, and learn more about the adaptation of Ralph Ellison's powerful American classic in an interview with adaptor Oren Jacoby, director Christopher McElroen, and the "Invisible Man" himself, Teagle F. Bougere. Click below!
Sixty years after the landmark American novel's publication, the Huntington Theatre Company presents a searing production of Ralph Ellison's epic Invisible Man. The first adaptation in any medium to be authorized by the Ellison Trust, the Jefferson Award-winning script is by Academy Award-nominated screenwriter Oren Jacoby. Christopher McElroen, award-winner and co-founder of the Classical Theatre of Harlem, directs. Teagle F. Bougere stars in the iconic title role.
This co-production, featuring actors from Boston and Washington, DC, originated at Washington, DC's Studio Theatre where the fall run was twice extended due to popular demand.
The production begins with the first line of the novel: "I am an invisible man." An unnamed, idealistic, young African-American searches for identity and his place in the world as he journeys through 1930s America - from the Deep South to a basement in the borderlands of Harlem, from a betrayal at his ivy-covered Negro college to a nightmare job in a New York paint factory, to the story's climax at a Harlem race riot. He moves through an America divided by race and class, grappling with the paradoxes of identity that have rendered him invisible.
Ellison's landmark American novel about race, power, freedom, and liberty comes to life onstage in this gripping theatrical adaptation.

From: [Roane Tennessee History]
Ramsey's Annals of Tennessee is the history of Tennessee from its beginnings as that part of North Carolina west of the mountains until it became the sixteenth state in the Union. Ceded by North Carolina to the Confederated States after the Revolutionary War, but not accepted by them, they adopted several forms of self-government. This is a story of their trials, their battles with the Native Americans who occupied the lands the pioneers coveted, and their ultimate statehood. Ramsey, Corresponding Secretary of the East Tennessee Historical and Antiquarian Society, drew much of his material from original sources. As history, the Annals are extremely readable. As a genealogical resource, Ramsey's contribution to the field is invaluable.
