Spring brings many changes in Ariel's life.
Her mother's going to have a new baby, and Ariel feels left out. But Grandma always knows how to make her feel better. Together, they plan to make a beautiful quilt as a special gift for the baby. Then Grandma has a stroke, and Ariel is lost and afraid. Can she finish the baby's quilt by herself? And will Grandma ever get better?
"A small gem of a book, a beautifully written, engaging celebration of life, love, self-discovery, and the cycles of nature." School Library Journal, starred review
In one gorgeous, slim volume, Kinsey-Warnock tells a story of a particular time, from spring to fall, in a 10-year-old's life. Ariel loves the Vermont farm where she lives with her parents and grandmother, and wonders about the changes that a new baby in the house will bring to their lives. Then her grandmother suffers a stroke, and Ariel is haunted by the feeling that nothing and no one is safe. But when Ariel's parents realize that the old woman has given up on her recovery, it is Ariel who re-engages her grandmother in the business of living, helping her sew a quilt that Ariel has designed for the new baby. Kinsey-Warnock's language is simple and direct as it conveys both the loving relationship between the old woman and the girl, and the girl's love of the land. Ariel revels in her surroundings, and her mood is infectious; the thrill of the geese migrating is movingly expressed. Bowman's realistic black-and-white illustrations depict highlights of the story, but never try to evoke the landscapes suggested by the text, or the beauty of the two geese quilts. Wisely, she leaves such moments to readers' imaginations, and so her work appears like sustaining chords beneath the melody of the text. Ages 9-up. (Sept.)

Forums > Photography Talk > Why are European models less hung up about nudity?
Posts: 2351
Bristol, England, United Kingdom
I'd say don't count on the UK being so liberal at the moment.
While parents can be proud of daughters modelling nude at the RA, same daughter could also lose her job teaching, for modelling glamour in swimwear, this is Britain.
Bra adverts are being destroyed in Islamic areas of big cities, especially those at bus stops near mosques. Some of the population don't want to be liberal at all.
The government has cracked down on parents and photographers in the last 20 years, while in the meantime kids themselves are now posting indecent and nude images of themselves around schools, in some classes there are no kids who haven't done this.
We've seen lapdancing, poledancing, casinos, all kind of things have apparently contributed to this "raunch" culture, but it seems to be mostly youth culture and in the real world you're still going to get fired for posting your boobs on facebook.

Dave McDermott I would go out on a limb here and assume were you talking about men wearing burkhas. Well it would be comical if a man wanted to wear a club dress because clearly there is no purpose to it. A man wearing a burkha does make a whole lot of sense however, it's done for privacy and anonymity.

Sorry, I probably wasn't clear enough there. No I meant as in hitting on the woman, flirting etc, Because I've heard a lot of American men say that the European women would be more laid back and approachable. So maybe they're more laid back about posing nude too.

Approachable for conversation perhaps but that's not what I mean. Last time I was "hassled" at a club my dress was barely higher than my knees, my boobs were completely covered, and the only thing it had was a low scooped back with a wide, bejeweled striped along the spine to call it sexy. I was there with a man but had to go to the ladies room, some idiot actually grabbed me twice quiet inappropriately, if it wasn't so damn crowded and I could have figured out which one it was i would have definitely made it painful for him.

Nude beaches are, broadly speaking, considered kid friendly in Europe. The dunes behind the beaches, however, maybe not so much. The downward trend in beach nudity is partially a product of current fashion, or rather of having a deep a tan falling out of fashion, and partially, and in combination, a much heightened awareness of the potential for skin cancer among the lighter skinned inhabitants of the northern latitudes.

Because they are brought up to see nudity as natural where as we are brought up to see our bodies purely in a sexual way making being nude in front of a camera a bit of a taboo and something people will judge you and look down on you for doing

I haven't seen a lot of nude models here. I live in the 'country' and not in a city where it's easier to find nude models so take it for what it's worth. Even then, it's not like every other model in Berlin is a nude model.
I've seen way too many nude models that look amazing close by in the Czech Republic. The problem is their rates are so high it's unreal. Especially considering that as of this posting, $1.00 buys 20 Czech Koruna's and 1 Euro buys 26 Czech Koruna's.
That's been my experience so far in Europe.

I don't think you can uniformly say that in one place they are prudes and in another they are not. I have a great example actually. I'm from Ukraine and I was having a conversation with a Russian friend. The two countries are not that much different from each other and at one point as we all know were one and the same.
Friend: "Yeah we had girls on the beach topless or naked all the time. They would also jump your bones every chance they could" (granted he's a guy)
Me: "I have no clue what world you were living in, never seen it, never happened."
Of course that was 15 years ago now they run around Europe taking their clothes off and protesting who knows what.

Suicide alertness is for everyone. Learn four basic steps to recognize persons with thoughts of suicide and connect them with suicide helping resources in a three-hour training called SafeTALK.

The North Halton Distress Centre hosts the workshop on Wednesday, May 23, 7-10 p.m. in the the Georgetown police station community room.

Why come to safeTALK?

Most people with thoughts of suicide invite help. Often these opportunities are missed, dismissed or avoided— leaving people more alone and at greater risk. SafeTALK training prepares you to help by using TALK (Tell, Ask, Listen and KeepSafe) to identify and engage people with thoughts of suicide and to connect them with further help and care.

SafeTALK is for everyone who wants to help prevent suicide: front line workers, clergy, volunteers, parents, youth, teachers, law enforcement or anyone who wants to be a suicide alert helper.

Please e-mail Gail at email@example.com to secure your spot.

Located in western Pennsylvania, Pittsburgh is the second largest city in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania where the Allegheny, Monongahela and Ohio Rivers meet at a junction. Often called the "Hollywood of the East" due to its growing film industry, Pittsburgh has 24 miles of riverfront trails, historic attractions and beautiful parks, which offer visitors plenty of fun activities to choose from during their stay.
During your stay in Pittsburgh, you'll find that you are spoiled for choice when it comes to choosing from all of the things to do there. Downtown you can spend an afternoon at Point State Park, which is where the junction that connects the Allegheny and Monongahela rivers to form the Ohio River is located. For some of the best city views, head over to Mount Washington Overlook and go for a ride on the Duquesne Incline, a century-old cable car. For art lovers, the Andy Warhol Museum is located near downtown Pittsburgh where he grew up and features extensive collections of his art and other materials from his estate. Whether you're in the mood for baseball or football, you can catch a Pirates game at their home stadium in PNC Park, or watch the NFL Steelers and the University of Pittsburgh Panthers in action at Heinz Field. Enjoy the extensive varieties of wildlife at the Pittsburgh Zoo & PPG Aquarium, followed by the botanical gardens and Victorian greenhouse at Phipps Conservatory and Botanical Gardens, which are located 18 minutes away from each other.
If you're looking to get out of Pittsburgh for the day, there are plenty of great nearby towns with unique sites and attractions. Located 67 miles east of Pittsburgh is Johnstown, where you can catch the local Johnstown Tomahawks ice hockey team in action at the Cambria County War Memorial Arena, or stroll around beautiful buildings like the Cathedral of Saint John Gualbert. Altoona is another city in central Pennsylvania that is just over an hour-and-a-half from Pittsburgh and is home to the Railroaders Memorial Museum, Lakemont Park, and DelGrosso's Amusement Park that includes miniature golf and a water park. If you're up for the three-hour ride to Pennsylvania's capital of Harrisburg, you can spend an entire day visiting local monuments and sights such as the Pennsylvania National Fire Museum, the chocolate-themed Hersheypark, and the kid-friendly Whitaker Center for Science and the Arts.
If you're eager for a lakeside getaway, there's no better place to go than Deep Creek Lake in Maryland, a mere two hour and fifteen minutes away by car. You'll feel like you've really escaped when you set foot in rustic cabins in a gorgeous waterfront setting.
Home to 90 neighborhoods, Pittsburgh has all kinds of rentals that you can book on Tripping to make your stay more enjoyable. Rent a home in Bloomfield, which is located three miles from Downtown and is Pittsburgh's historic Italian neighborhood filled with Italian restaurants, bakeries, markets and bars.

A great area to rent a high-rise is the Oakland neighborhood, which is home to many brand-new buildings along with the famous Carnegie Museum of Art and Natural History. The Strip District is another trendy area that has been transformed to several blocks of restaurants and eclectic shops, and on Saturday morning all of the vendors set up tables on Penn Avenue where you can find everything from hummus to olive oil. Downtown is the perfect area to stay in a high-rise and enjoy the beautiful city views, as well as taking a downtown walking tour during the day with the Pittsburgh History and Landmarks Foundation. The South Side has tons of shops with character and is a popular going-out spot, especially between 10th and 25th streets, where there are clubs, bars, and lounges for late night entertainment.
One of the most popular and convenient ways to get around Downtown Pittsburgh is walking, but there is also an abundance of taxi cabs and buses that are easily accessible and will take you to your destination. Healthy Ride is Pittsburgh's bike share program that allows you to rent a bicycle from any Healthy Ride station for as little as $2 for every thirty minutes. Another fun method of transportation is Molly's Trolley's, a two-hour guided tour aboard a 1920 style vintage trolley that departs from Station Square and takes visitors throughout several of Pittsburgh's most well-known neighborhoods.

FINAL UPDATE: The commercial free replay of the game has been added below. Enjoy.
Quick heads up for future reference… It looks like ESPNU will be airing a UK Practice on Sunday, October 11th (it was mentioned during the game). So that's 5 days before Big Blue Madness, and something to mark down on your calendar.
Rumor has it next year Kentucky could take on North Carolina at Chapel Hill for the Alumni game.
SPOILERS: Boogie had a great game for UK as did Barnes for UNC. The game ended up being quite a bit closer than most expected, but that was in part due to the lack of defense that was being played, and the fact that all of UK's bigs wanted to shoot threes instead of dominate the paint. Still, it was fun to see so many of the UK guys together, and it's always fun to see UK beat UNC. I don't know about you guys, but I'd like to see a Kentucky vs. Duke Alumni game next year.

It was a normal day in the office for Mumbai's perennial run-machine Wasim Jaffer as he scored a century on the first day of his side's Ranji Trophy against Vidarbha at the Wankhede Stadium on Thursday.
Jaffer marked the first day of the first-ever clash between these two sides by scoring his 34th Ranji Trophy ton - most by any batsman in the tournament. It was also his 50th first-class century, enabling the 35-year-old to join an elite list of seven other Indian cricketers - Sachin Tendulkar (81), Sunil Gavaskar (81), Rahul Dravid (68), Dilip Vengsarkar (55), VVS Laxman (55) and Mohammad Azharuddin (54).
Jaffer's mantra though is very simple. "I just enjoy playing the sport," he says nonchalantly. "I am fortunate to play for Mumbai. It's not something that has happened overnight. It's been solid hard work for 17-18 years. Playing for Mumbai, I can't take any game lightly. Of course, the aim is to play at the highest level but I am very lucky to represent Mumbai."
Despite his experience, it wasn't easy to bat in the first session on Thursday as Vidarbha bowlers backed their skipper's decision to field first on a morning when the ball was moving a bit.
"The first session was tough. After lunch, the wicket eased out and we recovered well after a slow start but we lost too many wicket," said the centurion, who was undefeated on 133 at stumps with Mumbai on 254 for eight.
On his preparations and goals ahead of the domestic season, Jaffer says, "There is no specific plan as such. The idea is to go out there and score a lot of runs. I like to do that and only think of doing that and hope that the runs count for the team's results."

___[16 March 2017] ICASA's Complaints and Compliance Committee has given notice of its intention to cancel the licences held by the three licensees in the event that these licensees do not submit information by 20 March 2017 to satisfy ICASA that they are active and using their licences. Any interested parties have until 20 March, 16h00 to respond via email: email@example.com

As noted midway through 2014, this is as a result of an increased rate of ICASA raising complaints through the CCC process, a mechanism previously available to the communications regulator but up until this point not yet used to seek sanctions against non-compliant licensees.
___[8 August 2015] ICASA has given notice that it has withdrawn the individual electronic communications service (IECS) and individual electronic communications network service (IECNS) licences issued to Primetel (Pty) Ltd and Serram Systems, as a result of these licensees not, after due inquiry by the Authority, having commenced the provision of licensed services within six months as prescribed by the Regulations regarding Standard Terms and Conditions for Individual Licences 2010. A similar notice was issued in respect of the class electronic communications service (CECS) licence issued to Foize Africa.
___[15 June 2014] We have noticed a steady increase in ICASA raising complaints against licensees for various non-compliance matters with the Complaints and Compliance Commission (CCC). This is a new development as the communications regulator has until now not sought to invoke sanctions available through the CCC process. The complaints raised for the main part relate to alleged failures to pay annual licence fees and contributions to the Universal Service and Access Fund (USAF), but also encompass failures to respond to letters and notices issued to licensees.
___[21 April 2015] ICASA published a notice in the Government Gazette on 20 April 2015 noting that certain licensees are required to submit an annual forecast of licence fees using the format in Schedule 3(1), on or before the end of April every year. ICASA requires that each licensee with a financial year ending in October, November, December, January, February and March submit an annual forecast of licence fees and the Universal Service and Access Fund (USAF) contribution.
In addition, these licensees must also submit a trial balance; detailed management accounts and reconciliations between the trial balance, management accounts and a calculation of the forecast of the licence fees and USAF contribution.
Where a licensee is no longer operational it must submit a letter to ICASA indicating it has not commenced operations.
Form for financial forecast submission
ICASA Notice on Licence Fee Forecasts (April 2015)
Every Broadcasting service and ECS/ECNS licensee must submit on or before 30 April 2015, the information referred to in this notice as follows:
ATTENTION: Mr Godfree Maulana
Email: firstname.lastname@example.com
Any licensee, who fail to submit the requisite information by the deadline referred to above, will be deemed non-compliant and liable to appear before the Compliance and Complaints Committee ("CCC") of the Authority, for adjudication. A possible fine may be imposed as penalty, if found guilty of non-compliance.

Standard & Poor's said on Monday it had lowered its rating on French nuclear group Areva by two notches because of delays to the construction of a reactor in Finland.
The agency downgraded Areva to BBB+/A-2 from A/A-1, citing the company's announcement of an additional provision of 400 million euros (493 million dollars) for the Finnish European Pressurised Reactor project.
But it added that its outlook on Areva was "stable," reflecting its view that Areva would likely be able to carry out an disposal program and capital increase, "thus strengthening its balance sheet."

The owner of an out-of-control Rottweiler that mauled an 11-year-old boy has been ordered to pay the victim of the attack £2000 in compensation.
And a sheriff last week ordered that the dog be destroyed.
Laura Lupke, 50, now living in Glasgow, was previously found guilty at Kilmarnock Sheriff Court of being the owner of a dog which was dangerously out of control in that it repeatedly bit the boy to his injury and permanent disfigurement at the Morton Park in Darvel in July.
Lupke had denied the charge, forcing the youngster to relive his ordeal as he gave evidence in court.
The boy – who cannot be named for legal reasons – told how he was playing with friends in the park around 8pm when he was chased by two dogs.
One, which he described as "the black and brown dog" attacked him.
Giving evidence via video link, he said: "He bit me on the arm. It kept swinging me about."
He had been "screaming for help" as he lay on the ground, he told the court.
And scars on his arm from the attack could be seen on screen.
The attack, the boy said, went on for around five minutes until "a woman called Elizabeth came and got it off me".
Sheriff Alistair Watson heard that the 11-year-old saw the dogs again as he made his way home.
"I just sprinted to my back garden and shut the gate," he said.
He subsequently spent two nights in hospital.
The boy identified the dogs involved as belong ing to a neighbour.
Other witnesses described separate incidents involving the same dog in other parts of Darvel.
One woman said the Rottweiler had tried to attack her cat before it "snarled at and menaced" her husband as he tried to chase it off.
Another said she saw the dog chasing a boy on a bike and was so concerned she followed the two dogs.
She later saw a woman, whom she identified in court as Lupke, leading the Rottweiler by the collar.
"It was definitely the same one" she said.
No defence evidence was led, but Paul Gallagher, defending, asked th sheriff to find that there was some doubt about the dog's identification, given discrepancies in witnesses' descriptions of the animal.
Sheriff Watson noted, however, that all the witnesses had referred to the Rottweiler being accompanied by another, golden-coloured, dog.
And he said that its was extremely unlikely that two identical pairs of dogs would be out unsupervised in Darvel at the same time.
"Finding Lupke guilty, Sheriff Watson said: "It seems clear the accused is the owner of this dog which she took into her house."

Antitrust Policy of Little Benefit to Consumers
January 21, 2004
In 2000, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and the Antitrust Division of the Justice Department (DOJ) spent $146.9 million dollars investigating hundreds of alleged cases of price fixing, market monopolization, and other anticompetitive business activities.
However, researchers from the Brookings Institution suggest that government involvement has largely been ineffective and, in some cases, has done more harm than good for consumers. In surveying landmark cases over the past century, the authors found that:
- Government regulation has generally been unable to achieve lower prices or bring about a significant increase in competition.
- Government oversight of company mergers has been particularly inefficient, in many cases prohibiting productive mergers that increase consumer welfare.
- There is great difficulty in formulating effective remedies for anticompetitive behavior, especially in an era of dynamic competition and rapid technological change.
- Due to the excessive duration of monopolization cases, the market circumstances have often changed dramatically by the time a court decision has been reached.
- Political forces which influence antitrust enforcement have been co-opted by rival companies to gain competitive advantages.
Ultimately, the study concludes that the power of the market is an overlooked force in deterring anti-competitive behavior, and leaves regulators with relatively little to do.

How to Remove Limescale in Your Appliances?
If you have ever looked inside your kettle, iron or tap, you will most likely find its biggest enemy – limescale. But who cares? Afterall, limescale is not known to have killed anyone, apart from a kettle or two.
The strange thing is when it comes to baby-related items like bottle sterilizers and breast pumps, most mommies switch from "who-cares" to "I-need-to-get-rid-of-this-now" mode. While there is no evidence to show limescale is harmful to health or babies, it can make appliances like electric bottle sterilizers, warmers and breast pumps inefficient or useless. Excessive limescale buildup can also be unsightly.
Electric appliances, especially baby appliances, are not cheap. Marketers put a significant premium on baby-related products because they know parents want the best for their babies and are (most likely) willing to pay the price. After shelling out big bucks for your items, you want to make sure to keep limescale at bay. This will extend the life of your purchases.
When is the best time to descale your appliances?
Limescale buildup starts as small white spots. This is often found on the metal heating plate. The spots can turn from chalky white to dark brown (rust-like color). When you see this residue, it is time to descale your appliance. Or you might find your appliances are not working as effectively any more. For instance, some find streak marks on babies bottles after a round of sterilizing or the usual flow of breast pump has weakened. For general purposes, all appliances should be descaled once every 1-2 weeks to ensure appliances are operating at tiptop condition.
How to descale your appliances?
There are different methods of descaling.
The most expensive way is to buy descaling or decalcifying tablets. Companies make money by marketing different tablets for different appliances. If you ask me, this is a whole lot of unnecessary unless you have money to burn.
The cheaper way is to use generic cleaning powder like citric acid. This is natural powdered acid found in citrus fruits. If you are using this method, remember that hot water is needed to activate the alkaline limescale to react with the citrus acid. You may see some fizzing. There is no hard-and-fast rule in the ratio of acid to water. Always start with a more conservative ratio of 1:5 (1-part acid to 5-parts water). Leave the citric acid solution in the appliance for an hour or overnight, then pour away. You can repeat the process until all the limescale buildup is broken down. You can also use baking soda in place of citric acid.
The cheapest, and easiest, way is to use vinegar. Not just any kind of vinegar, you want white vinegar.
Step 1: Dilute the vinegar with water to make a vinegar solution in a ratio of 1:4. That is 10ml vinegar to 40ml water or 100ml vinegar to 400ml water. This amount of solution will depend on the appliance you are planning to descale.
Step 2: Pour the vinegar solution into the holding area. Fill it to the same level as you would when you fill with water for normal use of the appliance.
Step 3: Set aside all removable items in the appliance. For instance, this applies to baby bottles in a steam sterilizer or coffee capsules in home coffee dispensing machines. For appliances like kettles, there are nothing to remove so leave as is.
Step 4: Switch on the appliance and run it for one cycle.
Step 5: Leave the vinegar water solution in the appliance to cool for 15-30 minutes.
Step 6: Discard the vinegar solution, rinse with fresh water and wipe dry. If the limescale is not thoroughly removed, repeat steps 2-6. This time, increase the ratio of the vinegar-water solution for greater descaling strength.
If you can't bear with the sharp sour-scent of vinegar, try squeezing a lemon and drop the slices into the vinegar solution. I have tried this method with my kettle and steam sterilizer. It seriously works like a charm. The best part is no arm muscle needed. We are all literally a bottle of vinegar away from a gleaming, almost-new looking appliance.

Being more open in the age of the computer is not bad or good, it is just different from what people are used to. Remember how parents thought the world was coming to an end with girls scream over the Beatles in the 1960's? The world did not come to an end, and now their music is revered around the world. When people are young they are carefree and do not think about stuff that might make adults pause. With that being said, I have seen people of all ages updating their Facebook page with random facts about shopping, or taking pictures at the beach.
Personally, it does not bother me, and as long as people are not posting extremely intimate details about their lives - who cares really. If you as a parent feel that your kids should not be advertising their comings and goings on Facebook, then cut off the supply! Personally, I think people should be eighteen before they even have a Facebook account, or an online account of any kind. The only thing people under eighteen really need to use the Internet for is research projects, and parents should monitor computer use. Or put a filter on the computer. Do not buy your kids a smart phone where they will be on Facebook all day.

An interesting observation =) I do agree that (mainly with young people) their tendency to post when they shower, shop, brush their teeth, or go to the movies can be never ending ... the worrisome side of it is, they seem to also advertise the thoughts that once were private for our locked tight diaries =)
Remember how horrified girls would get if their brother or sister caught even a glimpse of the insulated richness of the soul found between the covers of this, my friend, the diary.
Alas now, the age of the internet allows the hood to be lifted and the curtains opened wide. What will be the outcome of this new age of bearing one's soul?

Skip to comments.Tapper Grills WH Official on ISIS: Why Was There 'No Serious Action' for Months?
Posted on 08/08/2014 4:53:25 PM PDT by mandaladon
Jake Tapper grilled White House Deputy National Security Advisor Tony Blinken today over the perception that President Obama underestimated the threat of ISIS, citing in particular a quote in which Obama compared ISIS and other al-Qaeda groups to junior varsity teams wearing Lakers uniforms. ADVERTISEMENT
Tapper said that for months and months people had warned about the threat ISIS posed with no action, no serious action, by the White House. He asked, Was the intelligence not there? Why is it only now that youre acting?
Blinken argued theyve been focused on this for well over a year, and they had been working with Iraqis to deal with AQI and eventually ISIS before the ISIS threat overtook the efforts that the Iraqis were making to deal with it.
Tapper then asked, Just how badly did President Obama underestimate the threat of ISIS? Blinken defended Obama and said that there are groups out there, like ISIS, that are not focused on attacking the United States and so therefore are not as big a threat as core al-Qaeda would be.
(Excerpt) Read more at mediaite.com ...
Incredible that they do not view ISIS as a serious threat!
Someone should ask Tapper and his fellow Obama kneepad worshipers why they hardly ever mentioned ISIS in months.
Any person or group who pushes Western influence OUT of a region, Team Obama supports 100%.
He had Racist, White, gun toting, Bible thumping, Christians to worry about here in the States. NO SARCASM.
Obama doesn't care. He is only worried about the latest homosexual pro sports figure.
change had to HAS and you'll have it correct. The Grand Kenyan needs to keep his eye on disgusted dimokratz also.
Hey now, ISIS is no big deal, they are JV right Hussein?
They were only killing Christians before. Nothing to see here folks, move along.
Please remember a little history.
April 23, 2013, NY Times: Islamist Rebels Create Dilemma on Syria Policy
In Syrias largest city, Aleppo, rebels aligned with Al Qaeda control the power plant, run the bakeries and head a court that applies Islamic law. Elsewhere, they have seized government oil fields, put employees back to work and now profit from the crude they produce.(The above article gives a decent overview of the character of all of the rebel forces. Yet, as you can see below, the Obama Regime decided to arm and equip them)
Across Syria, rebel-held areas are dotted with Islamic courts staffed by lawyers and clerics, and by fighting brigades led by extremists. Even the Supreme Military Council, the umbrella rebel organization whose formation the West had hoped would sideline radical groups, is stocked with commanders who want to infuse Islamic law into a future Syrian government.
Nowhere in rebel-controlled Syria is there a secular fighting force to speak of.
This is the landscape President Obama confronts as he considers how to respond to growing evidence that Syrian officials have used chemical weapons, crossing a red line he had set. More than two years of violence have radicalized the armed opposition fighting the government of President Bashar al-Assad, leaving few groups that both share the political vision of the United States and have the military might to push it forward.
In a sharp escalation of the U.S. role in Syria's bloody civil war, the White House announced late Thursday that it will provide military aid to rebels fighting to topple President Bashar al-Assad after confirming that his government used chemical weapons against the opposition.Then we have this from 15 Sep 2013 issue of The Telegraph, Syria: nearly half rebel fighters are jihadists or hardline Islamists, says IHS Jane's report
Opposition forces battling Bashar al-Assad's regime in Syria now number around 100,000 fighters, but after more than two years of fighting they are fragmented into as many as 1,000 bands.Sadly, it is patently obvious that the US Government knew who these people were before funding them, decided to fund them anyway. And from these people emerged the group formerly known as ISIL, then ISIS, and now "the Caliphate".
The new study by IHS Jane's, a defence consultancy, estimates there are around 10,000 jihadists - who would include foreign fighters - fighting for powerful factions linked to al-Qaeda..
Another 30,000 to 35,000 are hardline Islamists who share much of the outlook of the jihadists, but are focused purely on the Syrian war rather than a wider international struggle.
There are also at least a further 30,000 moderates belonging to groups that have an Islamic character, meaning only a small minority of the rebels are linked to secular or purely nationalist groups.
The stark assessment, to be published later this week, accords with the view of Western diplomats estimate that less than one third of the opposition forces are "palatable" to Britain, while American envoys put the figure even lower.
Fears that the rebellion against the Assad regime is being increasingly dominated by extremists has fuelled concerns in the West over supplying weaponry that will fall into hostile hands. These fears contributed to unease in the US and elsewhere over military intervention in Syria.
"Someone should ask Tapper and his fellow Obama kneepad worshipers why they hardly ever mentioned ISIS in months".
"Someone should ask Tapper and his fellow Obama kneepad worshipers why Obama almost took us to war with Russia so he could bomb Syria in SUPPORT of ISIS, 11 short months ago
SSSSSSShhhh, nobody in DC wants to mention that now. But some of us have not forgotten.
Here we have Godless people who believe they are God. Of coarse this changes when thier on thier death bed and thats all you hear out of thier mouths. What happeneds to those who have the power to save children being beheaded by these satanists and he doent pull out the entire force of the US military and burn them to a crisp?
Why ,.. Obama was "the smartest guy in the room".. he didn't need any other input !

Sale of Annuities Fraud
What is Sale of Annuities?
Many insurance companies and national banks have joined forces to sell annuities to bank customers. Some of these annuity sales are based on fraudulent representations, inducing customers to purchase a product that will not perform as represented.
Our law firm has filed a number of class action lawsuits against national banks and major insurance companies for their combined fraudulent conduct in the sale of annuities. As a result of recent banking deregulation, banks are now allowed to sell insurance products to their customers, and in some instances, banks have combined with insurance companies to underwrite these products. As a result, some of these insurance products are being sold based on blatant misrepresentation, especially concerning the explanation of how these insurance products perform.
We continued to file these classes throughout the country in an effort to protect consumers from these fraudulent sales practices.
What can I do?
We enjoy a distinct national reputation for excellence in the area of consumer fraud litigation. This litigation includes individual cases as well as class actions that have been filed throughout the country.
If you feel you have a claim, our attorneys would like to talk to you. You may be entitled to compensation. Contact us today for a free, no-obligation legal consultation.

Cervical spine refers to your neck, a frequent area for pain and soreness. Cervical spine conditions may result from overuse injuries, trauma and certain diseases. Cervical stenosis refers to narrowing of the spinal canal that protects the spinal cord and its branching nerves. Cervical stenosis has a gradual onset so you may not realize there is a problem until the condition has developed enough to cause your neck pain. Stenosis causes neck pain that will radiate to your arms and hands, causing numbness and weakness. Cervical stenosis can also cause cervical myelopathy and cervical radiculopathy. Abnormal pressure may be placed on your spinal cord, which causes damage and can result in spinal cord dysfunction. Your neck doctor will refer to this as cervical stenosis with myelopathy.
Patients are more likely to develop spinal stenosis after turning 50 as a consequence of aging and spinal wear and tear. You may develop cervical stenosis naturally or have a history of back injury or trauma. Your spinal canal will narrow as a result of any of these conditions:
- Thickening of Spinal Ligaments – Ligaments hold the joints of your spine in place as you move. After injury, stress, or even calcium deficiency, your ligaments may thicken, taking up space in the spinal canal.
- Osteophytes (bony overgrowths) – Inevitable wear and tear on the spine can cause bone spurs to form on vertebrae.
- Bulging or herniated discs – Soft discs lie between vertebrae of your spine, cushioning them so you can move smoothly. Damage to these discs may cause them to inflame, expanding in the spinal canal.
- Degenerative disc disease – Degenerative disc disease will also cause inflammation as vertebrae begin to grind together and put pressure on the nerves of the spinal canal.
- Trauma – Sports injuries or accidents can cause dislocations or fractures of the spine. Displaced bone and swelling can cause damage to the nerves or spinal cord itself.
- Tumors – Overdeveloped tumors can put pressure on surrounding nerves.
Symptoms may not begin until well after cervical stenosis has developed. However, your symptoms may then begin to worsen over time. The most common symptom of cervical stenosis is dull to intense neck pain. Other symptoms include:
- Problems with gait and balance
- Clumsy hand coordination
- Upper extremity pain and weakness
- Numbness, tingling, pins and needles sensation
- Rarely, loss of function (paraplegia)
Your neck doctor will diagnosis cervical stenosis through one or multiple tests, as well as determine if your condition is accompanied by myelopathy or radiculopathy. MRIs are the best imaging technique to determine cervical stenosis. It can detect damage to spinal discs and ligaments, tumors, and pressure on the spinal canal.
Your neck doctor will recommend appropriate conservative methods to first treat cervical stenosis.
- Physical Therapy -Your physical therapy session will begin with modalities, usually ice, to reduce inflammation and ease pain. Your physical therapist will begin treating cervical stenosis by manual massaging your neck, breaking down and stretching thick ligaments and strained tissues. You will be guided through stretches to increase the flexibility of your neck and regain its mobility. A few weeks into your routine, your therapist will guide you through exercises to strengthen your cervical muscles to better withstand strain and prevent further injury.
- Cervical Injections – Chronically irritated nerves in the spinal cord may benefit from a corticosteroid injection. Corticosteroids will provide long term relief for inflammation, usually up to six months. Your pain management and rehabilitation doctor can discuss injection treatment along with a physical therapy regimen.
Your neck doctor will recommend surgery only if your cervical stenosis is causing myelopathy, is debilitating, and is not responding to conservative treatments.
A number of different procedures will relieve pressure on the spinal canal depending on the cause of impingement. Often bone spurs, damaged ligament or bone, or damaged discs will be removed if they are the cause of inflammation and pressure on nerve roots.Book an Appointment Now

Is it just me or are London bus drivers the dregs, I repeat DREGS, of society?
Every day I trudge along to the bus stop to catch the bus to work. I stand at the bus stop, knowing, just knowing, that the bus will take half an hour to arrive. I live in central London; the buses are supposed to be every five minutes. How is it then that my bus runs so late, every single day of the year?
Not only does the bus run late but the bus decides to change destination half way through the journey. I say "the bus decides" because a woman's automated, robotic voice blasts out of the speakers announcing the destination change because, of course, the driver can't actually talk to the passengers.
This drives me apoplectic with rage. My eyes start bulging, my forehead throbs, I start breathing heavily as I tell myself that today is the day that I will make the driver answer the little old lady's question about where to get off for the museum.
But no, I sit there in a state because whatever any of us do I know that it is no good. He won't answer; he just turns his head slowly and pushes the button: "The Victoria and Albert Museum," the woman's voice menaces at the little old lady.
But, this rudeness is nothing compared to the sheer audacity of the bus driver who decided he was a little parched and fancied a nibble during his 'arduous journey'. He pulled over next to a newsagent, alighted and went in. He left behind a seething mob of commuters packed into his bus like caged animals whilst he toddled off in the middle of rush hour to get himself a packet of crisps and a fizzy drink.
I don't know what staggered me more, the fact that he did this or the fact that he conducted himself in the obligatory bus driver silence throughout the whole criminal act.
My mouth was agape with fury and I looked over at my fellow, stressed, tired passengers and in that moment I realised that this was the final straw. The fight had left them as they were so used to this sort of behaviour that it now seemed normal to them. Where has customer service gone? No, scrap that; where have basic manners and human decency gone?
I was late for work that day – and I was late for work the day that the driver turned us all out as if, yet again, he was changing destinations. Only he wasn't changing destinations, and we watched as he went on his way leaving us all behind at the bus stop, in the rain. One woman had the balls to scream after him "You are so evil! That was a wicked thing to do" – but I don't think he heard. The whole thing was completely inexplicable as he could not tell us what was going on (because bus drivers don't speak) and the button didn't have a woman's voice behind it for that particular scenario.
I decided to do something about the shocking state of London's buses. So, I went onto London Transport's website. Can someone please tell me how I can speak to a real person on the phone as I have emailed and emailed again to no response?
Do you think BoJo will sort it for me? The Mayor's wonderful bus which is 'going green for London' doesn't work when it is really cold – as it has been recently; funny that, seeing as it's winter and all – they conk out and, again, there is no woman's recorded voice to keep us informed. So the bus driver resolutely sits in silence as he is blocking traffic, we sit in resigned silence as we notch up another late entrance into the office and I feel trapped in a nightmarish dream that I am going nowhere.
I now stand at the bus stop and hope with all my might that the bus to come around the corner will be the knackered, old, polluting tank of a bus which is certainly not green. Funny, at least I know I will have a chance of reaching my final destination – even if the bus driver can't tell me where that is. Read more by Naomi.

5 teams that make football sense for Aldon Smith
The San Francisco 49ers released Aldon Smith last week after he was arrested on charges of DUI and hit and run. Those are obviously very serious charges, and ones that put his short- and long-term futures in the NFL into question.
However, there have been reports this week that some teams are showing at least some interest in signing Smith, depending on how his legal and league discipline situations turn out.
There's no question that Smith is a top-level edge rusher, rivaling J.J. Watt and Von Miller as one of the most effective pass-rushers in our grading system since he's entered the league.
Purely from a football perspective, which teams would benefit the most from signing Smith? Here are five teams that fit the bill:
Detroit Lions: The Lions lost Ndamukong Suh, Nick Fairley and George Johnson from their defensive line this offseason. While they added Haloti Ngata in the middle to off-set some of that loss, there is no getting away from the fact that they lost their best pass-rushers outside of Ziggy Ansah, seeing 118 total pressures leave from those three players alone. Smith had 32 total pressures on his own in just seven games last year, so he can definitely add something here.
Jacksonville Jaguars: The Jaguars knew they needed to add an outside force to the edge of their defense in 2015, and opted to draft Florida's Dante Fowler Jr. with their first draft pick in May's NFL draft. Unfortunately, Fowler tore his ACL in his first practice with the team and is out for the season, while Chris Clemons has been absent at the start of training camp. Last year the Jaguars didn't have an edge rusher register a higher pass-rushing productivity score higher than 6.5, while Smith has never had a PRP score of lower than 11.2 since entering the league.
New York Giants: Another team that is suffering thanks to injury, the Giants need some help off the edge given the uncertainty around Jason Pierre-Paul's return from injury will be able to return to the team. They drafted Owamagbe Odighizuwa out of UCLA, but his best work came against the run. Pierre-Paul had the 16th-best PRP score among 4-3 defensive ends a year ago, so someone like Smith would give the Giants a guaranteed threat off the edge in his absence.
San Diego Chargers: A team that should contend in the AFC West, the Chargers really need to improve the edge of their defense. The top two outside linebackers in San Diego are Melvin Ingram and Tourek Williams. Ingram improved as a pass-rusher in 2014, but Williams hasn't provided much in the two seasons he has been in the league. In fact, off of the 158 pass-rushing snaps since entering the league, he has recorded just eight total pressures.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers: The Bucs have arguably the best defensive tackle in football in Gerald McCoy, and one of the best off-ball linebacckers in Lavonte David, but they could definitely benefit from an improvement off the edge. George Johnson has the potential to be a very smart addition at one defensive end spot, but on the other side, William Gholston contributed just 25 total pressures from 325 pass-rushing snaps as a rookie.

Hey guys here's a little background on Brand,The Burning Vengeance:
"In a faraway place known as Lokfar there was a seafaring marauder called Kegan Rodhe. As was his people's way, Kegan sailed far and wide with his fellows, stealing treasures from those unlucky enough to catch their attention. To some, he was a monster; to others, just a man. One night, as they sailed through the arctic waters, strange lights danced over the frozen wastes. There was something hypnotic about them; it was something that drew them to it like moths to a flame. Trekking across the frozen waste, they came to a cave covered in ancient runes. The meaning of the runes long lost to them, Kegan led the way inside. There, inside a perfect cage of ice floated a dancing column of flame. There was no way such a thing should be burning, especially not in this place. However, its movement was as hypnotic as a siren's song, captivating and seductive. While the others stayed back, Kegan could not help but approach it while holding out his hand...
That is the last thing Kegan Rodhe remembers, for now his body belongs to Brand. It is a creature of olden times, perhaps even a casualty of the Rune Wars. It is known in ancient texts as the Burning Vengeance. It is a creature of pure fiery hate that exists for no other reason than to lay waste the world of men and yordles. No one is quite sure how Brand found his way to Valoran, but he began his predations at once. Overcome by Demacian forces, he was given a choice: fight within the confines of the League or die. Naturally, he chose to use his destructive powers in the League, for now..."
So why Brand? I've asked myself this question a lot during the past 2 days since I bought him. I usually play Nocturne, and he is my favorite champ by far but when it came to mages no one seemed to be to my liking, that's until i found Brand. I can promise you guys he is definitely worth a try. One thing i must mention though, Brand is not the easiest hero out there and can take some time to master and to learn how to use your combos properly so please try him out for a few games before criticising the hero or the build. In the following chapters i'll walk you through my way of playing him. Please keep in mind that feedback is more than welcome,so if you guys have any suggestions or ideas please feel free to post them. Ok so here we go....
Pros / Cons
-Right from the start you'll find that he's an excellent harrasser.
-Capable of dealing constant damage as well as nuking.
-Is good mid hero as well as a good lane hero.
-A fairly good farmer once you have these 2 spells: Pillar of Flame and Conflagration.
-Quite squishy early-game.
-You need a fair ammount of mana early-game to keep harrassing.
-In order to use your ulti ( Pyroclasm) to it's full potential you need at least 2 enemies standing near each other.
-Lacks any form of croud-control (except his first spell Sear, but this is only useful when you use it in combo with another spell).
-Rune-wise i found that it is a lot better to play him with Magic Penetration runes such as : Greater Mark of Magic Penetration and Greater Quintessence of Magic Penetration simply because your passive Blaze does not benefit from your Ability Power, only from your Magic Pen. percentage, and you will find that Brand's passive is a ***** against heroes with a lot of hp, it's pretty much like an ignite.
-The reason i went with Greater Seal of Replenishment is because, like i mentioned above in the Pros/Cons chapter, Brand is quite mana hungry early-game so you need as much mana as you can get.
-Also i found that Greater Glyph of Scaling Ability Power is the best choice as far as glyphs go simply because you need as much Ability towards the end of the game as you can get.
-As far as items go, the build posted above is what i usually play with. Of course, like with every hero, your item build may differ depending on the heroes you are fighting against.
-The reason i suggest starting out with Catalyst the Protector is because this item offers great survivability with increased hp and mana pools as well as replenishes your mana and hp each time you level up.
-In some cases i use Catalyst the Protector and turn it into Rod of the Ages. I found that playing against heroes such as Dr. Mundo or Katarina can be quite stressful because of their abilities Infected Cleaver and Bouncing Blades that have a small cool-down and that can take down your veil buff, rendering it useless. This item is also useful because it increases your survivability with that extra hp.
-If you find that you are having a hard time laning due to enemy harrass i suggest buying a Hextech Revolver early on, this allowing you to repeatedly fill-up your hp pool.
- Abyssal Mask is another item i find quite useful when fighting against a team made up of mostly Ap based heroes. It increases your magic resistance while giving you extra ability power.
- Mejai's Soulstealer is another great item you can get depending on how good your team is. If your teammates do a good job keeping enemies of your back and keep you alive i strongly suggest you get this item since it gives a huge ammount of ability power as well as a nice cooldown reduction when stacks are full.
- Some other items that are worth trying are cooldown reducing items such as Morello's Evil Tome but i personally do not use them simply because Brand's cooldowns aren't that big in the first place.
Summoner Spells
Personally I like to use:
- Flash for escaping those ugly gangs or for getting closer to a fleeing enemy to land in that killing blow.
- Ignite because it's like having 2 passives. I would like to mention that i have landed in a lot more killing blows using ignite simply because we all know how some people are just that lucky and get away with 50-60 hp or less, so i find it being very useful.
- Teleport, is another spell that i play with and comes in handy all the time. Whether you need to quickly get from one end of the map to the other, to defend a tower or join in on a gang, or just to go to base and buy some items and return back to your lane in a flash.
Of course there are other good combos that one can use, such as:
- Flash and Ghost, which are great for escaping from a gang or getting to a place quicker to help your team gang someone.
- Flash or Ghost with Clarity, increases your harrassing potential by quite a lot.
- Cleanse another summoner spell that is quite useful, might get you out of trouble though i personally have never used it on casters.
Keep in mind that there are some summoer spells that you should never use on Brand, such as:
- Revive, in my opinion one of the most useless summoner spells, play with your head and i guarantee you won't need it.
- Fortify, this spell is mostly for tanks or support heroes, your job is to deal damage and not repaint the towers.
- Clairvoyance, another spell for support heroes, you do not need it for Brand.
- The last 2 spells that i do not suggest you use on Brand are: Heal and Rally.
I would like to point out that this is just my 2 cents on what summoner spells work and don't work on Brand, in the end it is up to each and every one of us what we chose to use.
Skill Sequence
The reason I suggest maxing out Conflagration first is because this is a one-click-hit spell, there is no casting time or no delay on it.Also i find it being very useful for farming, you just open up with Pillar of Flame and then click Conflagration on the creep standing in the middle of the pile so to deal as much AoE damage as possible.
During team-fights i usually open with Pillar of Flame, followed by Conflagration and in the end Sear to stun the opponent making sure he does not run away. In case the enemies are standing near each other, after the W-E-Q combo i throw in the ulti Pyroclasm and watch them burn to cinders :D.
During 1v1 fights i usually open with Conflagration and Ignite followed by Sear and end with Pillar of Flame to deal the maximum damage and in the end , if it's a must you can throw in your ultimate Pyroclasm. Keep in mind that once your abilities are on cooldown you are helpless so i suggest keep some distance between you and your opponent in the case that it is a melee champion.
Play Style
-Brand is an excellent early-game champ. Your ability to harrass mean that you can keep enemy champs away while his decent attack damage and quick animation makes it easy to land in those last hits on creeps.
-Depending on who your laning partner is you can use different styles of game-play. For example if you are laning with a harrasser let's say like Katarina you can adopt an aggressive play style and harrass the enemy as often as you can. This will leave them with low hps making it easy to swoop in for a quick kill.
-In case your laning partner is a carry like Nocturne or Tryndamere for example i usually concentrate on harrassing the enemy and keeping them away so that my laning partner can get all the last hits on creeps allowing him to farm early on. I do this because we all know that in 70-80% of games a good carry can change the outcome of the match.
Mid-Game and Late-Game:
-By now things should be going quite well for you , and this is where you start to burn your opponents to ashes.I strongly suggest doing as many gangs as possible as well as pushing towers in 5 man teams.
-Also by now during team-fights you are probably the focus of the entire enemy team so i suggest you stay at the back of the pack and only pop in to drop your ulti and combos once the enemy team uses up some of their abilities and summoner spells.
Build Results
In this section i just wanted to show you guys some games that i have had using this build and how they came out:
All in all to me Brand is a very funny and pleasant to play hero and he is by far my favorite mage so i strongly recommend you guys give him a couple of tries and see how he is, who knows he might just end up being your fav.
I would like to thank all of you for taking the time to read this build, I hope you will enjoy it, once again i urge you to post any thoughts you might have, all forms of criticism are welcome.
So that's about it, i hope you guys enjoy Brand and most importantly i hope you have fun playing him and i hope to see you guys out on the Field of Justice.
PS: Linkin Park rulz :P ....
Things to come
I'm planning to add an entire chapter with game-play videos showing you guys how to handle being mid, laning, ganging, as well as how to use your spell combos depending on which situation you're in.
Also i'm planning to add some photos showing victories and defeats and the scores obtained during those matches.

text: Project Al-Salam School ABOUT THE PROJECT Since 2011, the conflict in Syria has devastated the country and the civilian population. Of all the victims, the ones who suffer most are children. Of the approximately 5 million refugees in Turkey, Lebanon, and Jordan, nearly half are children – many of whom cannot go to school. According to UNICEF, more than 3 million children inside Syria no longer have access to education. Think about it: 8 million children no longer have hopes and dreams for a better future. Syrian children's lives are constantly threatened by bombs, snipers, chemical weapons, and extremists. The future generation of Syria – the one that will have to rebuild the country and transition to democracy – is in jeopardy. Many have called Syrian children "the Lost Generation" due to the extent of war trauma they have suffered. Syrian children have seen their schools become prisons, or the targets of Assad's barrel bombs and Russian air strikes. These children have seen their educational institutions transformed into military prisons or rubble. Yet, the Lost Generation must survive. We must do what we can to restore education in those areas of Syria where it is safe to do so. The Foundation to Restore Equality and Education in Syria (FREE-Syria), and Aid All Syrians, two US-based non-profit organizations, are joining forces to reinstate education where possible. Together, FREE-Syria and Aid All Syrians are supporting free education, one child at a time, and one school at a time. The Facts: One in four Syrian schools has been destroyed. That's a quarter of the nation's schools. Let's rebuild where we can. Let's help millions of children get back to school and back on track. Let's promote education as the fundamental building block of a democratic country. What we're doing: The benefits of having a new school in a community offers advantages far beyond educating children: educated children turn into well-informed adults who can . The school will host night classes to benefit adults and children who need extra help. Additionally, the economic support will help the community rebuild and become more stable. How you can help: Sponsor a student. Educating a child for one year only costs $100. That's less than $10 each month.

Murdered cabbie McGibbon's widow tells vigil: 'They will never beat us'
The heartbroken widow of the father-of-four shot dead in north Belfast has urged the community to stick together to beat the gunmen.
Michael McGibbon was shot in the leg by gunmen in the Ardoyne area on Friday night.
Dissident republicans have been blamed for killing the 33-year-old taxi driver, who bled to death close to his home as his wife tried desperately to save him.
Last night the victim's widow Joanne McGibbon and her four children attended an emotional vigil in the grounds of Holy Cross Church in Ardoyne.
The nurse courageously told the hundreds gathered that the strength of the community was greater than anything the gunmen trying to destroy them could offer.
"I think if we all stay strong we can stop these people, because we are stronger than them, and they can't beat us," she said.
"It's not fair that families have to go through this - they're not judge and jury."
Mrs McGibbon held a candle and her daughter Seana held a photo of her father as they were supported by Fr Gary Donegan and those who turned out to show their solidarity and applaud her powerful message.
The priest spoke of the heightened sense of fear he had felt in the community since the murder was carried out.
"It's the first I've ever experienced that," Fr Donegan told those assembled.
"If you were like I, and in that house earlier, watching those little ones with their pancakes and totally oblivious to the horror that's been visited upon them, but it isn't oblivious to their mother.
"We're not complicit in this, we're the opposite to this, we're everything that is good, and that is the message that we want to send out. Not just to the local community here but the broader community.
"Not in our name." Meanwhile, a daily loyalist protest was last night suspended for the first time as a mark of respect to Mr McGibbon.
Loyalists have been protesting every evening at Twaddell Avenue since July 12, 2013 when Orange lodges were refused permission to march along a contentious stretch of the Crumlin Road. PUP leader Billy Hutchinson welcomed the move by the Ligoniel lodges as the vigil for Mr McGibbon took place nearby.
Mr Hutchinson said: "This was a terrible and cowardly murder, and my thoughts and sincerest condolences go out to the family of Michael McGibbon.
"I very much welcome the efforts by the local Ligoniel brethren to withdraw their protest as the memorial service is conducted and as a mark of respect to the victim's family."

Guest Blogging, eh?
I feel like such a rock star.
Last week, I told a story in front of a bar full of people, and it seemed to meet with positive results. Someone even came up to me today at Nordaggio's, where I was working on my novel and having a coffee, to tell me she saw me tell that story and what a great job I did and how much she enjoyed it. Not to mention that for a while longer, I can actually walk around telling people "I'm working on my novel." I mean, that's pretty… novel. And just when I thought it couldn't get any better, blammo – it does. Cynthia Frenette puts up one of my articles on her blog.
Cynthia is an amazingly talented illustrator, designer, quilter, seamstress, crafter, painter, etc etc. – she's pretty darn awesome! We've never met, mostly because she lives about an hour outside of Vancouver, Canada. So it's a bit of a drive from here. But it's been fun getting to know her better this year and collaborating on some projects. Like, in case you missed it the first thirty times I mentioned it, she's going to be illustrating a children's story I wrote earlier this year. I can't wait! So when an opportunity came up to write for her blog, I said "yes please!"
You can go visit her site to read the article – it's about crafting for the holidays. And while you're over there, be sure to check out her other blog posts and her cool artwork, design work, and quilt gallery! She even has some cool sewing tutorials available – for free! So go over there and say hi – tell her Ace sent you.
