Three dimensional paper snowflakes look beautiful hanging in a window or on a wall. Fun for kids or adults, they are easy to make. Some like them for Christmas, but you may like them any time!
1Gather materials. You'll need six (or eight for a fuller snowflake) pieces of paper (white copy paper will do, although you can use more elaborate types like construction or origami paper), scissors, clear tape and a stapler.
2Fold each of the six pieces of paper in half diagonally, and then in half again diagonally. If the paper you are using does not make a perfect triangle, cut off the rectangular edge that sticks out and make it align perfectly. You should end up with a square folded into a triangle. Fold the triangle in half, noting where the folded "bottom" of the triangle is. If you have to cut off the bottom end of the paper, keep it and put it aside.
3Cut three slits in the triangle. Position the scissors along the bottom fold, and parallel to one of the edges going up to the top (your cuts should be somewhat diagonal). Cut almost all the way up to the double folded crease, but not quite. Keep about the same distance between each cut. (This might not be suitable for thicker paper, since the number of layers makes it difficult to cut through.) When you unfold the triangle into a larger triangle, it should look like the photo above.
4Unfold the triangle again. Turn it so that one of the points of the square faces you. It should look like the picture.
5Keeping your paper diamond side-up, roll the first two innermost paper lines together to form a tube. Tape these two pieces together. You should see triangle shapes on each side of the roll.
6Turn the diamond over to the other side. Take the next two paper lines and pull them together on the opposite side of the tube and tape together as before. This will be a more rounded shape and wider than the first tube.
7Keep turning the paper and joining the paper lines together on opposite side in the same fashion until all paper lines have been joined.
8Repeat Steps 2 - 7 with the remaining 5 pieces of paper.
9Join 3 of the completed rolled pieces together at one end and staple together using the other hand. Do the other 3 pieces the same way. Now you will have 2 pieces consisting of 3 strands or "arms" each. (For smaller snowflakes, it may be easier to use double-sided tape or white glue in place of staples.)
10Staple the two new pieces together in the middle.
11Staple where each of the six arms meet. This ensures that the snowflake shape is pulled into place. See picture at top for the finished snowflake.
12Hang them up, use them to make a center piece or use them to decorate in your own way as long as they can be admired.Advertisement
Community Q&A
Does the paper have to be square?Answered by wikiHow Contributor
- Yes, but it's easy to turn a rectangular sheet of paper into a square. Fold one corner over to the opposite side, lining up the edges to form a triangle. Cut off the "leftover" rectangle below the triangle. Unfold the triangle, and you have a square.
Can you use more than six pieces of paper? And can you use different types of paper?Answered by wikiHow Contributor
- You can use as many pieces of paper as you can fit together. Even numbers (6, 8, 10) look best because the snowflake is symmetric. You can mix and match different paper colors, but stick to the same type (printer, construction, origami) to avoid lopsided snowflakes.
I'm looking for a holiday craft idea for my son's 5th grade class. How much time do you think these 10 and 11 year olds will need to complete the snowflake project?Answered by wikiHow Contributor
- One hour is a good estimate. It can be faster with more people, if you're working together on enough snowflakes to decorate a room.

- Mini staplers are great for these type of snowflakes.
- Try scrapbook paper with different patterns on each side for an interesting look.
- If you want a "perfect" snowflake, make sure the lines you cut are identical for each square.
- You can also place these snowflakes on lollipop sticks to make a pinwheel.
- If you want a more appealing look use glue dots, or glue sticks. Find these at arts/ crafts stores.
- Work slow and steady. Rushing is likely to lead to a ruined snowflake, or your hands being cut up by scissors.
- If you want larger snowflakes, use larger paper. You will probably need to cut more lines though; work it out from how large your piece of paper is. Don't try enlarging your snowflakes until you are comfortable with the method of making them with the suggested paper size first.
- If you want to "jazz up" your snowflakes, put liquid glitter on the snowflake along various parts of the paper lines. Just remember though, that these do not store very well (easily crushed) and you might be throwing them out.
- Use thicker paper if you want a fuller snowflake.
- You can vary the paper color if you want to match a Christmas color theme - red or green for instance. Those left over bits of holiday wrapping paper also work very well - just keep in mind that one side of the paper will be plain white while the other side will be colorful. You can also use tinfoil or glitter paper.
- It's best to use 6 pieces of paper instead of more. Seven can make it look a bit too packed and it's harder to see the shape of the flake.
- For those who are making a smaller snowflake, it's easier to use a toothpick.
Things You'll NeedEdit
- Six pieces of paper, any kind should do. The size of your paper square can vary from 4" to 10" (10cm - 25cm). The paper should be of a good strength to hold up the snowflake structure.
- Scissors
- Tape (Or Glue)
- Stapler (a mini stapler is great for smaller snowflakes).

Several legends tie together the five Pancharama temples dedicated to Shiva.
As the name Amaravati implies, legend has it that Amaravati was once the abode of the Gods - the Devas, the yakshas and the kinnaras, who performed penances to Shiva to request him to rid the earth of the mighty demon Tarakasura. Legend has it that Shiva's son Subramanya vanquished the demon.
It is believed that the Shivalingam that shattered into five pieces was a huge one, and the biggest of the five pieces is a fifteen foot long column of white marble which is worshipped as Amareswara at the Amaravati temple (this is very similar to the Shivalingam at the Draksharama temple). Legend has it that it was installed by Indra the king of the Devas, Brihaspati the guru of the Devas and Sukra the preceptor of the Asuras.
The Amaravati temple is located on a small hillock referred to as Krouncha Shaila, alongside the river Krishna which flows for a short distance in a North-Southerly direction, although for the most part, the river heads eastwards towards the ocean. The river Krishna is held in reverence at this pilgrimage site, and a ritual dip in this river here is considered to be meritorious.
The temple has ancient origins, however the structural foundations as seen today, seem to date back to the 11th century CE. The Vijayanagar kings did provide grants to maintain the temple. However it was the local kings of the 18th century CE that provided vast endowments to this temple. The temple is decorated with four lofty gopurams in its outer circumambulatory path. Shiva here is referred to as Amareswara, Agasteswara, Kosaleswara, Pranaveswara, Someswara and Parthiveswara and Parvati - Bala Chamundi.
Amaravati was a center of Buddhist art. The Buddhist stupa and sculptures depicting the life of Buddha at Amaravati are of great beauty.

A new community site for people interested in technology called On10.net is now live. This site will present a new technology related video each day during the work week.
The first show is a very interesting tour of KEXP a member supported radio station that broadcasts over the Internet. This is not your typical radio station either. The DJs play what ever music they want because there are no sponsors to limit them.
The hosts are two young women with a lot of energy. I believe that these videos will appeal to a lot of students. If students are interested in new, interesting and innovative ways that technology is changing the way we live this is the site to send them.

If you need further evidence that Google's success is at least in part due to the idiocy of their competitors, consider this: in Google, if you want to set up geo-targeting, you do so at a campaign level. So, if you have 100 ad groups in a campaign, you can set-up geo-targeting for all of them in a few minutes. You can also set up geo-targeting via Google's publicly available Desktop Editor.
In MSN AdCenter, you have to set up geo-targeting on the group (Ad Group) level. So if you have 10 campaigns and 1000 groups, you have to manually set up geo-targeting 1000 times! And MSN does have a Desktop Editor, but it is in limited beta (and has been for about six months). I got access to the beta but I wasn't able to download it, because my computer was using the Vista operating system.
I've been critical of Yahoo Search Marketing's ineffective Panama system, but as I start to use AdCenter (er, try to use AdCenter), I am starting to think that YSM is not so bad, at least by comparison. Clearly this was a system set up in a vacuum in Redmond – had they spent even a few minutes talking to search marketers, this sort of over-the-top bad design would not be an issue.
14 Comments
Amen to that. Ease of use is not Yahoo or MSN's forte. This is similar to Yahoo's negative keyword system – adgroup only or via an account manager. Let's hope the desktop app they plan on releasing fixes that…or is at least installable.
It's truly amazing. If I was CEO of YSM or AdCenter, my first act would be to license AdWords' UI.
David,Great post – fun to read. The folks at Yahoo and MSN are just amazing morons. Their advertiser interfaces are laughably bad. They absolutely should license Goog's interface, except that Goog wouldn't let them or would charge such (an appropriately steep) price that Y and MSN wouldn't do it.If the opportunity does potentially exist, then Y! should be sued by shareholders for not having already done this.
Hi DavidI'm one of the adCenter Community Managers that run http://www.adcentercommunity.comSorry to hear you've had trouble getting access to the Desktop Tool. Can you contact me through the blog with your details and I'll try and see if I can help in any way: http://adcentercommunity.com/members/Mel-Carson-_2D00_-MSFT.aspxThanks Mel
I don't even compare YSM and adCenter to AdWords anymore – they are related like a car is to a dog…not at all.AdWords is so incredibly far ahead of both platforms I've honestly stopped working with Y/M unless I absolutely have to. It's just not worth it in most cases. Don't get me wrong – I want them to succeed. I want competition and options…but right now the cost is just too great. If it takes me 10 minutes to do something in AdWords odds are it takes 1 hour + to do the same in either of the other platforms and after all that the traffic (or quality of the traffic) just isn't there. I know tools and platforms exist that minimize this but that's a side issue.Y&M need to reach out to people in this industry for help – people who live paid search every day. Not figure head puppets that haven't actually logged into an account in a year – reach out to the folks who literally live in the paid search interfaces. Pay them, bribe them, shower them with praise…do whatever you need to do to get their feedback and then act on it….quickly. The time to act is NOW. Google is handing it to you guys with each passing day.
Agreed Jeremy. If only Steve Ballmer would give me a call – I would give him the straight dope, probably make them an extra $500 million a year just by creating tools by and for SEMers.
Got it! Tnhkas a lot again for helping me out!
Mel, thanks for the comment. I will send you a private note via the AdCenter Community later this morning.
I agree that it may not be beneficial for UI users, but it definitely has utility for those with API access. Imagine a mortgage campaign with varying ROI by state. Rather than 50 campaigns, one can break out targeting by adgroup and save a lot of headache.
Great point TheFiske, but should you really be developing a paid search application that only works for developers with API access?Also, Google has developed both a UI that works for the common non-technical person and an API that works well for the development community (quota costs aside . . .)
Totally agree – there are so many issues with Yahoo and MSN, it's almost impractical to cover them in a single article.My biggest complaint revolves around writing adverts – if you can't see the adverts you've written, or even which Adgroups have new adverts pending, it's easy to lose track. And trying to explain to a client why their new Google advert went live in 20 minutes, and the others should appear some time next week, can be difficult!Yahoo and MSN are a difficult sell for us as an Agency – they require three times the work, for a tenth of the traffic. As a rule, like Jeremy, we try to avoid it as much as possible.And don't get me started on the reporting options for Yahoo…Steve Baker
Agreed Steve/CustardMite (what is a custard mite anyway? Love that user name).My biggest pet peave on MSN is that it seems like I can never get enough traffic, despite how much I bid.I finally got access to the MSN Desktop (thanks Mel) and it is pretty awesome. If MSN could take the functionality of the Editor and either a) give it to all advertisers or b) integrate into the UI, they would see a huge boost in traffic.
Just a quick note. I run vista and have been using the Adcenter beta successfully for many months. Are you sure that's the issue?Regardless, I seem to be bidding significantly higher on MSN for very little traffic, hardly seems worth it.
I agree Jake. What I don't understand (and if Mel from MSN is still reading, please chime in), is why you can bid a very high amount on MSN and still not get any clicks. Something is wrong with their algo – I think the clicks are there, I just can't get them!

The Queen Presents the Regiment with a New Guidon
The Regiment was presented with its Guidon by our Colonel in Chief at a ceremony at Windsor Castle on 5th April 2017. At Her Majesty's request the ceremony, which took place at Windsor Castle during the Easter Court, was both intimate and short. Including Soldiers on Parade and spectators the numbers involved were limited to 65 – there will be full trooping of the Guidon in front of the Regiment and Old Comrades on the Mons week-end of the 24th-25th June 2017
A number of people have been confused by the distinction granted to the Regiment by The Queen, 'The Queen Elizabeths' Own'. Her Majesty's address and Brigadier Hughes's response make it clear what the distinction is and why The Queen has granted that distinction!
Queen's speech
CoR Response to HM
A number of photographs are carried on the Daily Mail website:
and a video can be found here.
Attached is an electronic copy of the Order of Service which includes photographs and descriptions of both sides of the Guidon
Guidon Service Booklet
RSM David Spence VC
David Spence was born in Fifeshire, Scotland. He joined the 9th Queen's Royal Lancers in 1842. At the age of 40 years old, and as a Troop Sergeant Major with the 9th Lancers, during the Indian Mutiny he was awarded the Victoria Cross. "For conspicuous gallantry on the 17th of January, 1858, at Shumsabad, in going to the assistance of Private Kidd, who had been wounded, and his horse disabled, and bringing him out from a large number of rebels". David Spence served 24 years with the Regiment and finished his service as RSM. On 17th April 1877 David Spence VC, the retired Lancer and Yeoman Warder suffered a stroke in a London street, at 59 years of age.
After over a decade (by the family) of searching for the location of his grave, it was finally located in Lambeth Cemetery in an unmarked plot. The Regiment, the Victoria Cross Trust and the family have spent the last five years raising the money to have a headstone placed on the grave, ensuring the final resting pace of this gallant soldier was appropriately commemorated. It is fitting that the site of Spence's grave is only 150 yards from the grave of Robert Kells VC another 9th Lancer and Yeoman Warder who won his VC during the Indian Mutiny. Both VCs can be seen at the 9th/12th Royal Lancers Museum in Derby.
On Tuesday 14th March 2017, the gravestone was unveiled by the Regiment and members of the Spence family (some who had travelled from as far away as Australia) for the event. The service was conducted by the Regimental Padre, Major Graham Collingwood, and the serving Regiment was represented by Brigadier Andrew Hughes CBE, the Colonel of the Regiment.
Colonel William English – Chairman of The Royal Lancers Old Comrades' Association and Trustee of The Royal Lancers Charitable Trust.
I am writing to inform you that after 'listening and discussing' the needs of Veteran Lancers widely across the Regiment, I am now forming The Royal Lancers Old Comrades' Association (RL OCA) Committee. In January I wrote a notice on Facebook through Home Headquarters informing that I would in due course be forming a committee to support the work of: 'Remembrance'; 'Benevolence' and 'Networking'. I can now inform that the RL OCA Committee will be made up as follows:
Chairman: Col William English
Vice Chairman 9/12L: Lt Col (Retd) John Pearce
Vice Chairman 16/5L & QRL: Maj (Retd) Chris Knight
Vice Chairman 17/21L & QRL: Capt (Retd) Richard Dzierozynski
Liaison HHQ: Maj (Retd) Phil Watson
Liaison RL: Capt Steven Mansfield
Liaison CCOCA: Mr Dick Boorman
Tower Host & Asst CCOCA: Yeoman Warder Steve McMenamy
Many of you are members of Branches and/or Informal Groups, but some Veteran Lancers are not – no matter. The Vice Chairmen listed above now have Areas of Responsibility (AOR) based around their antecedent regimental recruiting areas (see attached ppt). They will be talking to Leaders of Branches and Informal Groups, providing advice, support and a voice at committee meetings. In order that you as an individual may have a voice too, you can contact your antecedent Vice Chairman irrespective of your location (UK and worldwide) to discuss an antecedent matter; your voice will be heard at committee and you will receive a response to any question you raise. For those RL veterans starting to emerge from service in the RL, should you wish to contact your Vice Chairman, you should contact the Vice Chairman who covers the region in which you live.
The work we do in support of you ensures that our Veteran Lancers retain both dignity and respect in retirement – collectively we are maintaining pride in self and ensuring that our antecedent regiments traditions remain in place and the serving Royal Lancers remain, in unity, the very best regiment in the world. Proud to be a British Lancer - 'Forged as One'.

The faint traces of graffiti on the bathroom ceiling are the only remnants of the dark, cramped and smoky atmosphere of the nightclub that came before. The black ceilings and dingy walls have been repainted, transforming the dreary atmosphere into one of ambiance and light.
Joy-full Gospel Ministries on West Main Avenue, former home of The Groove and Club Maja Playaz, has fulfilled the words of the Apostle Paul in the book of 1 John when he proclaimed that "darkness is passing away and the true light is already shining."
After five intense weeks of renovations, the congregation of Joy-Full Gospel held their first service in the newly furnished building last Sunday.
"If you had seen it before, it was horrible," said the Rev. Jean C. Williams, pastor and founder of the church. "You would never think that this is the same place you had seen before."
In celebration of the move into the new building, a dedication service will be held in the building Sunday at 2 p.m., with an address given by the Rev. Ren� Monet of Living Word Church.
The small congregation of 45 moved from a small building on Antoine Street to the new, very visible establishment on West Main Street.
With thousands of people passing by the new church site each day, Williams is very excited about the ministry's opportunities offered by the new building.
"It is a great site, and it can accommodate the things that we desire. It has much potential," she said. "People know that we are here now, and we are going to allow them to know that we are here with a purpose."
Before receiving word in April that the building was available, Williams said she had passed by many times before and had hoped to place the name of the Lord on the building.
As she would drive by each day, she petitioned God for the building and believed in prayer with the congregation and other Christian friends that the building would one day be the home of their church.
"I've just been doing it by faith," she said. "Every opportunity I get, I really glorify God because it is all for him."
With the new church opening, the congregation plans to fully establish their children's church ministry in the adjacent part of the building, next to the sanctuary.
A church outreach ministry called Soul Winners is in the works, and Williams said she is anticipating a program to take care of unwed mothers. "I would like to see my church be a real light in the community and touch so many lives, especially young people," she said.
Williams hopes to help those families that have been pulled apart by broken homes, often left with no father figure in their lives. She realizes that most young people have no one to counsel with or help them through their problems.
"I would like to see a turnaround with young people so that they can know that there is someone who cares and can direct them in their paths," she said.
Counseling people according to the principles of the word of God is one of Williams's passions, and she feels that helping others understand the truths of God in a personal way is part of the calling on her life.
She particularly hopes to counsel women and help them realize that the call of God extends to women as well as men.
After receiving her personal call to the ministry in 1981, she developed her calling by going to New York and receiving a Biblical education at Community Bible Institute.
Despite the obstacle of being a woman pastor in the traditionally male-dominated role, Williams stayed with what she knew to be God's call on her life and stood firm on the word that God spoke to her in 1981.
"It has been difficult in the past because female pastors have not been received well by many people," she said. "But I have weathered the storm."
Williams said her walk is one of faith and credits God for any success her ministry experiences.
"There is no way possible for me to have done it on my own," she said. "It had to be God working upon me and through me to come where I am now. I have to speak about it. He gets all the glory and honor."

Ayman Al-zawahri
May 9, 2011 by staff
Ayman Al-zawahri, A militant group Al Qaeda in Iraq vowed to support the organization's second in command, Ayman al-Zawahri, and promised more attacks in retaliation for the death of Osama bin Laden in the hands of U.S. forces in Pakistan.
In a statement posted on an Islamic web site forum on Monday, the caliph of the Islamic State of Iraq (ISC), Abu Baker al-Baghdadi al-Husseini al-Qurashi, lamented the death of Bin Laden.
"I tell our brothers in al-Qaida and the top of them Mujahid Sheikh Ayman al-Zawahri … be happy, you men of faith in the Islamic State of Iraq who are following the right path and will not stop smoking or being forced out, "he said in a statement.
"I swear by God, the blood from the blood and the destruction of the destruction," a clear reference to the attacks of revenge for the death of Bin Laden.
Zawahri, an Egyptian-born physician who met bin Laden in the mid 1980′s when both were in Pakistan to support the fight against the Soviet guerrillas in Afghanistan, has been considered a lieutenant of Al Qaeda.
ISI is considered by intelligenceanlysts that have been created by Al Qaeda in Iraq, a local umbrella group of insurgent organizations.
Iraqi army and police have been on high alert for revenge attacks as Bin Laden is killing U.S. command in Pakistan. Iraq became a major battleground for al Qaeda after US-led invasion that toppled Saddam Hussein.
Security officials have said that Bin Laden's death earlier this month may have little practical impact on Al Qaeda in Iraq, the Islamist insurgency weakened but still deadly they could launch attacks during the next decade.
Al Qaeda in Iraq may seek immediate revenge for the death of the world's most wanted man, but in the long term will likely be a thorn in the Iraqi government a destabilizing force, security officials said.
Thursday, a car bomb killed 20 people and wounded 80 in a police building in the predominantly Shiite city of Hilla.

The dead torrents will be moved to the "dead_torrents" folder on the ftp

2017 Renault Talisman Review – Recently interviewed by our Australian colleagues in Car Advice magazine, Renault-Sport's sales and communication director, Régis Fricotté, indulged in a few indiscretions. According to him, "It was confirmed by Mr. Ghosn (CEO of Renault-Nissan), that Renault wants to redesign its motorsports activities on a world scale. This means that we are studying the potential to develop the Renault Sport brand, not just Clio and Mégane. " But impossible for the moment to advance the name of a particular model. This choice will be driven by market demand, technical feasibility and economic viability.
2017 Renault Talisman Review
2017 Renault Talisman, So what other model to support the Clio and the Mégane, within this Renault-Sport range? If we go over the Renault range, we can immediately exclude the Twingo. The latter shares its technical base with the Smart Forfour, and remains dependent on the goodwill of development of the house Mother … cedes. If the German is currently working on the release of a sports model, badboy Brabus, it should result in only a GT version on the model of Renault. With a power around 110 hp, it will not be able to claim the RS label.
A little higher in the range, the SUV Captur could be a serious contender. The Renault-Nissan alliance has already given birth to this type of vehicle, through Juke Nismo. A category that will soon include the Fiat 500 X in the Abarth version. Renault could therefore plunge into the breach with a Captur taking over the engine of his little sister Clio RS.
On the other hand, there is little chance for the Kadjar to wear the tracksuit. The cousin Qashqai, a time tipped to obtain the Nismo label, has finally passed the trap. The family vocation of these two SUVs may cool the marketing experts. Same for the Renault Espace, although it evolves in a more premium sphere.
Finally, there is the Talisman case. Since the disappearance of the Safrane Bi-turbo in the 1990s, Renault did not consider it opportune the renewal of a sports sedan. But the renewed ambitions of Renault in the top-of-the-range, with this large sedan statutory to global influence, could prompt the ex-governor to encanailler the latter. Without hoping for profitability, the return on investment would be rather expected in terms of image. It is true that replacing the placid Laguna is no small matter for the Talisman. The integration of a sporty version in the range would be a real boost.
2017 Renault Talisman Features
The 2017 Renault Talisman features ingenious technical features that can be customized totally relying on the client's mood and preferences. With an outcome of 190 Brake Horsepower (BHP), the cars and truck is certainly powerful when as compared to other D sector designs. The Renault Multi-Sense system provides vehicle drivers 5 different driving modes depending upon roadway problems, dashboard screen as well as lighting environment. The innovative R-Link 2, 8.7 inch connected tablet with touchscreen screen is the biggest in its section and also showcases a widget system that gives customers with one touch accessibility to multimedia and road navigating support. The tablet is connected to the R-Link infomercial system and also a Bose border system comprising 13 high-performance speakers.
On the surface, the Amulet is notable for its streamlined and fluid contours. The engine offers customers the advantages of superb fuel economic situation as well as rapid energy recovery during braking. The trunk opens instantly on discovering foot motion under the rear bumper, which is specifically hassle-free for going shopping journeys. The cabin is actually roomy with 25 litres of storage room situated throughout the cabin. Safety includes too are superb with side pelvis as well as chest degree airbags available in the pole position, as well as rear curtain air bags. Opportunities for an accident have actually been lowered with attributes like an electric emergency brake and rear parking sensing units.
2017 Renault Talisman Release Date
It is already known that the RS version will be renewed on the recent Mégane 4. Expected at the Mondial de l'automobile in Paris in October 2016, its marketing will take place in 2017. Exit the current engine 2.0 l, since this one Should be replaced by a 1.6. However, Renault promises first-rate performances, as the stated goal is to improve the Nürburgring record, still held by the Mégane in its category. Other information, the engine could be associated only with the 6-speed EDC double-clutch automatic transmission.
Let's hope that the coming months tell us more precisely about Renault-Sport's ambitions. However, no new sports model is expected until 2017.

So, I was recently at an annual golf event where the tradition is after, we all gather for a beautiful meal and the award of prizes and the coveted 'cup'. A variety of 'consolation prizes' were awarded. Most, but not all the participants received a prize. This prompted a bit of outrage on the part of a friend. The issue taken stemmed from the question the friend asked a group of us, why weren't all the participants given a prize?
To this I and another friend responded everyone doesn't have to get a prize and that in real life that's just how the cookie crumbles. This position may come across as somewhat cold and uncaring. That's not my intent. I'm setting out to actually make a case for honesty in recognizing winning and losing.
Why Shy Away From Losing?
You know how in recreational sports the score keeper is instructed to hide the truth from the team that is being decimated by the other team. They are told not to post scores after say a 6 to 8 nothing lead. What's the reason for doing this? Are they trying to 'save' our children from possible demoralization that comes from losing badly to another team? I found this practice very curious. So, naturally I had to survey our sons to get their take on it. Many years ago when our younger son was in his fourth or so year of playing hockey I asked him and some of his team mates about this. Their emphatic response was- we know what the real score is anyway! So why shy away from losing? If we hide the truth of the score and pussy-foot around the fact the team or the person lost- what message are we sending them about role losing can and do play in a successful life?
Should Everyone Get A Prize???
This brings me back to the question posed by the friend. When we give everyone who participated in an event a prize, what is the message we are sending? Where is the honesty in honouring hard work put in by some along the same lines as those who just showed up? How will our children navigate the work world when they are prepped to expect a prize every time they attempt something? Rather than doling out prizes-could we instead dole out words of acknowledgement and encouragement to those who showed up and those who showed up to fully participate? Should we be challenging them to build and improve on what they accomplished next time?
An Honest Win Requires a Clear Plan of Action
As a coach I acknowledge my clients for taking steps towards their goals no matter how small. I celebrate the small wins with them by acknowledging them however, I am held accountable to keep my clients moving forward- to achieve specific goals. Hence, I challenge them to rise above their last accomplishment- to' win the cup'. This they can only do by honestly working to their best and it needs a clear plan of action.
What would you do if…?
One of the strong benefits of coaching is it keeps the coachee moving forward while being present and not living in the past or jumping ahead in the future. There's a time when I'm coaching I encourage my clients to answer the questions- What would you do if…? Or what will happen when…?
This approach though somewhat contrary to the principles of coaching is a powerful strategy to support my clients in their planning and goal setting. It allows the coachee to create mental and eventually physical strategies to overcome obstacles and barriers that do inevitably show up in life. It prepares them by allowing them to role play a number of scenarios that could go against achieving their goals. When they do face these scenarios they would have been mentally prepared to effectively manage their way through them. This is why win or lose- a client who is well prepared will deal with either one in a healthy way.

I met him through his daughter, Moon Unit, who had a pop song that did really well in the early 80's. I loved him for the kind of music that he made that was all squiggly (for the lack of a better word) that had lyrics like the ones to Montana, which run through this little essay.
Later he became Seriously Important. His testimony at the PMRC labeling hearings before Congress were aired on TV. His testimony declared creative freedom, defended personal liberty to create.
Part 1 – Frank Zappa at PMRC Senate Hearing on Rock Lyrics
Frank's testimony provides astute insight into the gap between performer and audience. His description of audience as 'consumers' back then touches the contemporary audience identity of those who now get their music without paying for it.
Movin' to Montana soon
Gonna be a Dental Floss tycoon
(yes I am)
Revisiting his testimony, I reflect on his discussion of 'the music industry'. Record labels mediated the relationship between composer (Zappa's language) and audience. Music was a product, to the audience. For the composer, music is an activity. The industry itself transformed music from activity to product. Congress was acting to regulate that – the way that music as a product was marketed to the audience. Zappa was testifying to how that regulation would affect the creator.
I'm ridin' a small tiny hoss
(His name is MIGHTY LITTLE)
He's a good hoss
Even though He's a bit dinky to strap a big saddle or
Blanket on anyway
Zappa's core message has been ignored. Why regulate music, declaring it good or bad? Why not provide music education in the public education systems funded by the government, so that people can decide for themselves what is good or bad? I mean, that's the function of the constitution, right? To provide us with the liberty to enjoy our deciding of good and bad in our own lives.
He's a bit dinky to strap a big saddle or
Blanket on anyway
Any way I'm pluckin' the ol' Dennil Floss
Even if you think it is a little silly, folks
I don't care if you think it's silly, folks
I don't care if you think it's silly, folks
His loopy, scribbly music. He talks about finding musical lines from the cadences of ordinary speech. Music as conversation. I've been learning how to write a fugue, more recently, with all of Bach's etiquette. And here, in the fugue, is the process of conversation – a musical idea is passed back and forth between voices, evolving through slight shifts in notes and presentation. The vocabulary for the techniques of the fugue is a vocabulary of conversation.
Zappa takes that conversation from music theory to include the waveform. He talks about that in a wonderful documentary made after he was diagnosed with cancer.
Peefeeyatko contains the transition from instrumental music to the computer as performance tool. Today's software puts Zappa's programmable synthesizer into ordinary computers anyone can walk into a store and buy. This is important, and overlooked, I think, in the fight over who gets to better identify our discontent.
Every other wrangler would say
I was mighty grand
By myself I wouldn't
Have no boss
But I'd be raisin' my lonely Dental Floss
Raisin' my lonely Dental Floss
Raisin' my lonely Dental Floss
Our culture struggle with the problem of music-as-product vs. music-as-experience. The form by which the audience purchases it is so easy. Click a virtual button, a virtual thing downloads to an imaginary space inside a computer. Keep track of one's sonic possessions by looking at lines of text on a screen. Keep track of those virtual possessions using a tool that you use to write email, read the internet, and do other things. Listen to that data file by clicking on it using a virtual tool, a mouse or trackpad.
The audio file is an invisible body. LP records, 8 tracks, cassette tapes, CDs are things, they give music physical weight. Does the iPod get heavier when I sync my music to it? The experience of listening is easily forgotten. The appreciation of value provided by the listening experience? Often overlooked, for it is our experience. American culture teaches the art of dissatisfaction, in order to fuel ongoing consumption.
Its so easy it makes people forget, or never learn, that the act of creating music takes a lot of work. Work which I need to return to – I want to learn how to write a fugue by writing a fugue, and writing this essay is a little bit of a distraction from that (I'm about a third of the way through that process).
Technology makes many things very easy for us. Technology makes it easy to consume. Remember to value what comes from us, what the tools themselves can't do – like create the music, like play or speak from the stage.

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times. There was some totally rad stuff out there, and then there was just some god-awful, straight-to-the-regift pile crap. Herein, I chronicle both sides of the digital, gift-giving coin as it flipped through 2008.
By Reverend Danger
The following article does not represent the opinions of Spike TV or its affiliates.
The Eee PC has a name you just want to squeal like you're a 10-year-old girl on a rollercoaster (albeit a totally manly 10-year old girl with a pretty substantial beard). It was also the laptop to start the landslide of "netbooks" (small, light, cheap laptops designed for business travelers and midgets). It runs Linux on most versions, so it's super cheap, and it's adorable, so it might get you laid as much or more than a cute pet. Bonus: it's more useful than a pug.
4. Wii Fit
The Wii Fit is something I can say that I've honestly never played, and probably never will. However, it made the top 5 gadgets of the year for 2 very important reasons. The first is that it is heralding a vast revolution in the way games are played. Second is because for reasons unbeknownst to all but the most learned pornographers, the Wii Fit happens to be a sex machine.
3. Sanyo Xacti HD
Two years ago I really wanted Santa to bring me a pocket-sized video camera, but the only ones with decent resolution were the size of Andre the Giant's pockets. This year saw several innovations in digital recording, but the sexiest in my opinion was the Sanyo Xacti HD. It's kind of pricey, but I hate money, so that doesn't matter.
2. T-Mobile G1
The G1 was super hyped because it was the first phone ever to run Google's mobile operating system, Android. It came out to mixed reviews that usually hemmed and hawed regarding whether Google was a good company or not, then got down to the fact (in the last 2 sentences) that, in fact, the G1 was a pretty solid phone. It's so solid, in fact, that the mighty Google is giving all their employees a special edition G1 that works all over the world and has a picture of a robot on it for a Christmas bonus.
1. iPhone 3G
The iPhone barely made it on the best list. This is not because it lacks any kind of technical awesomeness. I mean, you can turn it into a beer and boobs for pete's sake! It tediously teeters on the rim of the best list because of the Cult of the iPhone – a new (and thus highly-motivated) cell in the Cult of Apple. I've seen sheep act that way right before they were lead to slaughter. But still, it's a pretty kick-ass phone.
Let's just throw this out there: I'm about 100% more likely to buy anything on the worst list than I am on the best list. This is because I am very irresponsible and love irony more than, oh, we'll say "family." That being said, I recognize how a lot of people think a functional cell phone is more important than floating BBQ lounge. They are wrong, but they are the majority that sculpted this list.
5. BBQ Donut
The BBQ Donut is a circular water vessel with an outboard motor, a sunbrella/bimini shade thingy, and a mother-flipping grill in the center of it. Somebody teetering on the razor's edge between madness and brilliance must've forged this one in their brainpiece. Delicious though it may be, a floating fire barge of doom seems like a recipe for disaster.
4. Belly Button Brush
The Belly Button Brush is useless, yes, but also kind of awesome. It's the type of thing a maharajah would have for when his palm frond fanners got too many dust mites into his cavernous, date-filled belly button. Then he'd call his manservant over to brush it out and refill his flagon with fermented camel milk. I've never been outside the continental U.S.
3. Mac Air
The Mac Air is beautiful and skinny and useless. It's like Kate Moss: there's been thousands of pages devoted to its elegant curves, but at the end of the day, if you actually wanted to use it for something you'd break it in two. You'd be s**t out of luck. What you really want is the refurbished, enormous laptop from Costco or something. These laptops are like Brooke Hogan. Sure, it might not look so hot, but it's sturdy enough to get all the dirty jobs done.
Also, before anybody in the Cult of Apple says anything about the ridiculous nature of the other worst gadgets compared to the Mac Air, let me just say that I would use a Belly Button Brush 1000% more than I would a Mac Air. I've got a messed up belly button, man.
2. Liquid USB
There's a lot of wacky thumb drives out there, but most of them seem relatively harmless in their wackiness. The liquid USB drive, though, seems to take that wackiness and needlessly endanger your stored data. Why don't we surround your precious term paper with amber colored liquid? Beer is great, why wouldn't this be a great idea? It's a simple equation.
Epic fail, HD DVDs. Epic fail. Why would you not secure the realms of gaming an pornography? About 89% of the digital media in my home (and every other male 18-35) falls into one of those two categories. Now, to realize just how bad this particular slice of technology was, just ask everybody with a library of HD DVDs and $500 players.

Why can't UAE and Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦 take the refugees from the 7 banned nations and leave the persecuted Christians among them go to USA?
Why are the rich Muslim countries scared of taking their brothers in need?
Why do they want to go to a country that legalise gay marriage, Haram to them?
Something is not adding up
And we hv like 16 Muslim countries that banned Israel n no body is saying anything.

Honestly I'm awed at the love shown to the Muslims by Christians on this issue, inspite of all that has happened between the two religions.
My question now is : if the table were to turn, will the Muslims show the same or even half the love Christians have shown so far?

- 30 January 2017 at 18:43
See. When you're anonymous, you can be forgiven certain gaffs & foolish comments. But girl, you've been vomiting your personal life & people know you! Maybe its because you interact with machines in your lab more than you do with people, but the way you think? Leaves much, plenty, to be desired.
Fact: Americans in America commit more crimes against themselves than outsiders. Fact: Christians make up for the bulk of criminals in the US, & not just by dint of numbers versus population. Fact: Except you live in a certain environment, you have no right to criticize the actions or reactions of people living there: American Christians are against the muslim ban! What does that tell you? Stop thinkin with your pussy. & relate more often with smart people, those machines are making you dull
- 30 January 2017 at 19:18
I love how Akatas will read u in a minute what he really wanted to say was "yes I have a daughter, and I wish ya bitch ass will come over here so I can put a cap in ya mutherfckin punk ass.

Omg totally forgot John Legend and his wife..
Those two? Ayayaya!
- 30 January 2017 at 22:26
Good question ageless T. But Christ said we should love our enemies, he didn't say we should love them if they love us, or so they can love us, he said love them, period. So whether Muslims would reciprocate or not, its the decent thing to do to stand for them. Remember the story of the good Samaritan?

I want to say thanks for making XMBC. I've been using it for almost a year now, and it works very well! I was worried when my 5-button mouse didn't come with drivers or software, but I ended up not needing them when I found XMBC.

The Morning Coat or Riding Coat. This is the informal coat of a gentleman's clothing. Its distinguishing characteristics are the front edges which slope to the round-edged tails in back. Generally, the tails of the riding coat were a little shorter than the walking coat but the lines on that distinction seem a bit blurry. A blue morning coat with buff or tan breeches was considered the epitome of fashionable casual wear. Other popular colors included olive, bottle-green, and even plum. Green and brown also show up frequently but those seem to be primarily for country living. Morning coats or riding coats were usually double-breasted, and could be customized with a pocket(s) in the back by the tails. Buttons in silver or brass seemed to be popular, based on the fashion plates I have studied.
The dress coat. Similar to day's "tux and tails," the dress coat was short through the trunk
and cut straight across to allow the waistcoat to peek out below. It had long, square tails in back. This was fashionable and appropriate for formal occasions. Black was the most formal but I often see engravings of gray and blue as well, as shown in the picture to the right. Formal tailcoats were made of very fine wool and given a dress finish called "superfine." Often the dress coats themselves were called simply "superfine." Buttons were usually covered with matching cloth.
During the Regency, Georgian-style frockcoats were required court attire. They were very ornate, with brocade or heavy-embroidery such as what you see in pictures of George Washington and other Georgian-Era gentlemen. Court costume included trimming such as fur, ribbons, and gold or silver-threaded lace. Court frockcoats were not cut in at the waist but had a more square shape, and they had long, elegant tails.
A Regency gentleman's appropriate coat is very much dictated by his taste, wealth, and the type event he is going to attend.

|Let the memory of John be with us forever
John Bryant Shearin of Main Street, Creedmoor (94) went to his heavenly reward May 25, 2014. Born February 20, 1920 on a plantation in Essex in Halifax County, NC to William Louis and Roberta Walker Shearin, John was one of seven children with six older step siblings. His siblings were Susie Elizabeth, William Ray, Daisy Mae, Clifton Aaron, Richard Beron, himself and a twin named Edith who died in infancy. All preceded him in death except Richard remains. John went to live at Oxford Orphanage in January 20, 1927 where he and several siblings grew up and apprenticed in several trades and dairy. He graduated from high school there in 1937. Taking his first job inWallace, NC at the agricultural extension dairy, he then enrolled in Mars Hill College. He would join the Navy and be at the Normandy invasion on June 7, 1945. Upon returning he finished his education at Carson Newman in Johnson City, TN and found a home and teaching position in the Oxford community of Mountain Creek. There he would meet Lucia Beryl Elliott and marry in 1958. John was employed at the NC Division of Prisons, the Employment Security Commission and later retired as a public school teacher in Vance County. He worked in transportation part-time at Springmoor Retirement Community in North Raleigh. John was a member of First Baptist Church in Creedmoor and served as a Sunday School teacher, a Sunday School Superintendent, Chairman of Deacons and many other positions over the years. He loved his participation in later years with the Keenagers and their many outings.
Most of all John loved his children that survive him—John Byrant Shearin, Jr (Lisa) of Winston Salem, Nancy Hunike (Mike) of Oxford, and Debra (James) of Bahama. There are six grandsons who Papa loved and adored: Ben and Matt Johnson; Joey, Jared and Jack Hunike; and Brandon Shearin. There is one very special granddaughter, Ava Shearin.
There are too many medical providers to thank—Dr. Hoffmeier and staff, the nurses at Granville Medical Center, the home health providers and Hospice. Know that he appreciated you all and witnessed to you at every opportunity. He never met a stranger.
Funeral services will be held Friday, May 30, 2014 at First Baptist Church on Main St Creedmoor at 11:00am. There will also be a visitation at the church Sanctuary on Thursday evening, May 29, 2014 from 6pm -8pm.

Love you John"
