Tri-Art's High Finest Quality Artist Acrylics are premium quality artist paints designed to satisfy the most discerning artists. Their unique consistency allows for bold impasto effects that are normally associated only with oil colors.
Tri-Art acrylics have a smooth, buttery texture that retains brush and knife marks, yet is not stiff or difficult to manipulate. They are manufactured with 100% pure acrylic emulsion, producing a tough yet flexible film with excellent resistance to water, chemicals, light, and ultraviolet radiation.
Only the highest quality pigments, selected for purity and lightfastness, are used. Because no fillers or extenders are used, most colors dry to a natural gloss, while those with larger pigment particles create a more satin finish.
Color Chart Note — Use this color chart as an approximation of the real color. If exact color matching is necessary, use actual samples of the materials.

Great paint - poor packaging
By LittleMermaid
from Crisfield, Maryland
I love the paint. The colors are transparent and very rich pigment, but the tubes are horrendous. Hard to get out of the tube, the tube cracks, the paint dries up. Do not buy until they fix the packaging. They could take some lessons from Golden. If you must buy it becasue of a particular color buy the small jar. The Burnt Crimson is an amazing color.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Useless tubes of Tri Art paint

I like these paints, a buttery feel, highly pigmented
AWESOME Tri-Art Acrylics !
By Vickie
from Colorado
I can't say that Tri-Art acrylics are the best in their category, because I haven't tried everything Dick Blick has to offer in acrylics! However, it's the Best I've ever tried. I luv the smooth creamy texture, it's spreadibility, the bright colours. I ordered just the colours I would need for this particular painting, but I'll be ordering more. I'm not a professional artist but get discouraged with inferior paints. These are the best I've ever used!

Love it and hate it!
By Malaika
from GTA Canada
I love everything about the paint - The consistency of the paint - The intensity of the colour - Everything ....Except it dries out in the tube! What a waste of beautiful paint. I have tubes that I have never used that are completely hard. Meanwhile I have paints that are over 10 years old that I "inherited" from my kids that still are soft and fresh.If Tri-Art can guarantee that they have somehow fixed this problem I would love to buy it again but until then I will avoid it.
Merchant response: In general, Acrylic paints have roughly a two-year shelf life. This is also dependent on storage conditions and if the tubes have ever been opened. Some formulas will dry out faster than others. For additional information or support, we encourage you to contact our Product Experts at 1.800.933.2542. We are happy to see if we can provide you any additional information or suggestions!

Major Disappointment
By Windmill Artist
from Orlando, Florida
I say it's a total rip-off from the standpoint that while pricing is attractive, the product is useless. Caps broke with little use, especially the hinges. Paints stiffened or dried in the tubes. I can't use it. On the plus side, Dick Blick was especially generous and prompt in accepting all the used product for credit.
Merchant response: We are sorry to hear about the issues you encountered with this product. We appreciate the opportunity to help make things right and hope we can assist you again in the future.
Excellent, Rich Color!

These are really nice.
By GQ
from The Twin Cities
I tried a few colors on a whim. They are really nice to work with. I've noticed lately that some of the leading brands (you know them) seem to be getting worse, as if they're adding more water or binders or something. I don't know but they've changed for the worse somewhat. The TriArt paints seem to have more pigment. they are rich. They seem to have a bit more open time before they dry and the colors don't darken nearly as much as other acrylics when they do dry. Much more like a traditional oil paint which I like. The product is great. I'd love to redesign their packaging because it doesn't nearly do justice to this wonderful brand from our friends in Kingston, Ontario. Perhaps it's a tradition they like or something but the packaging is so bad it's almost off-putting. What is inside the ugly packaging however, is terrific. Last but not least: Virtually no one in the United States stocks these. Please Dick Blick. Start making TriArt products available in your stores. They're great to work with and I think tons of artists who paint with acrylics would agree.

Just a bit different -in a good way!
By painthead
from Madison, WI
Tri-Art has some uique colors and an interesting consistency. It's kind of hard to describe, but Tri-Art seems to keep more translucency in thick layers than some of the other brands. I especially like it for creating textured paint surfaces with a painting knife. If you are a knife painter, these are definitely worth a try. Of course it's fine with a brush too. I first bought these in tubes, which I think are only available in Canada. But the jars are the same quality, and it's easier to get all the paint out.

(2744 quotes found)
"The world is not dialectical -- it is sworn to extremes, not to equilibrium, sworn to radical antagonism, not to reconciliation or synthesis. This is also the principle of evil."
"People in love, it is well known, suffer extreme conceptual delusions, the most common of these being that other people find your condition as thrilling and eye-watering as you do yourselves"
"It's all or nothing with my makeup. If I get dressed up, I'll go to an extreme. I'll wear foundation, bright blue or bright red lipstick with one of my weird purple wigs."
"The surest defense against Evil is extreme individualism, originality of thinking, whimsicality, even / if you will / eccentricity. That is, something that can't be feigned, faked, imitated; something even a seasoned imposter couldn't be happy with."
"Gallantry to women - the sure road to their favor - is nothing but the appearance of extreme devotion to all their wants and wishes, a delight in their satisfaction, and a confidence in yourself as being able to contribute toward it"
"I like to behave in an extremely normal, wholesome manner for the most part in my daily life. Even if mentally I'm consumed with sick visions of violence, terror, sex and death."
"Realism should only be the means of expression of religious genius... or, at the other extreme, the artistic expressions of monkeys which are quite satisfied with mere imitation. In fact, art is never realistic though sometimes it is tempted to be. To be really realistic a description would have to be endless."

Queen's to play host to NI's first Being Human Festival of the Humanities
Queen's will host Northern Ireland's first ever Being Human hub as part of the 2017 Being Human Festival, the UK's national festival of the humanities.
The Being Human Festival is a nine-day national celebration of big ideas, big debates and engaging activities for all ages through a number of events, led by the University of London in partnership with the Arts & Humanities Research Council and the British Academy.
This year, only five Being Human hubs have been awarded across the whole of the UK.
The hub at Queen's will be based within the School of Arts, English and Languages, and led by Dr Franziska Schroeder, Senior Lecturer, Impact Champion and Head of Music Performance at the university.
Entitled 'Belfast Celebrates the Humanities', the Queen's hub will present seven exciting events on the theme of 'Lost and Found' running from the 19-24 November 2017. Each event will explore an aspect of humanities-based research and has been developed in conjunction with a range of Northern Ireland wide community partners such as Tinderbox Theatre Company, the Ulster Museum, Public Records Office Northern Ireland, Belfast Exposed Gallery and TheatreofplucK.
Speaking ahead of the festival Dr Schroeder, said: "We are thrilled to be Northern Ireland's first ever Being Human hub as it is a fantastic opportunity for Queen's to showcase our humanities-based research, as well as our partnerships with diverse organisations across Northern Ireland.
"We have created a varied programme comprising workshops, screenings and discussions looking at diverse themes as wide-ranging as kidney transplantation, hearing loss, conflict, teen issues, ageing and histories of the First World War. The events are free, open to the general public, and will provide an understanding of how the research being carried out at Queen's has an impact and relates to everyday life."
The UK-wide Being Human Festival will take place from 17-25 November 2017, with more than 200 events happening across the UK.
For more information on the festival and to register for the events taking place at Queen's, please visit: http://go.qub.ac.uk/beinghuman

BOSTON (CBS) – The Transit Police unveiled their three newest employees on Monday, three dogs that will be used to help sniff out explosives. Shifty, Moxie and Wire have each served tours in Afghanistan with the US Marine Corps. They will work with the Transit Police for explosive detection.
The black labs underwent a basic training of sorts over the winter, and are now certified to work in civilian settings.
"They have multiple missions," said Deputy Chief Robert Lenehan. "They'll actually just take the dog right through the station and just randomly search the location."

Katee Sackhoff may not be joining Ron Moore's new series like many of her former Battlestar Galactica co-stars, but that doesn't mean Starbuck isn't keeping busy. The rough and tumble actress has signed on for a new A&E crime pilot called Longmire that's based on a series of novels written by Craig Johnson.
According to Deadline, she'll join Robert Taylor and Lou Diamond Phillips, who've already been cast as the main character and the main character's BFF respectively. The basic plot follows Taylor as a sheriff with a dry sense of humor coping with the loss of his wife. He's very attracted to Sackhoff's character, his deputy, but is unsure of whether he should act on the feelings.
Based on plot description, it sounds like this role is in Katee Sackhoff's wheelhouse. She might be sexy, but she's still fundamentally one of the boys. Portraying a sheriff's deputy and a love interest should play to her strengths. Plus, I always support Lou Diamond Phillips getting work. He's way better than straight to DVD movies and Syfy originals.

KAI RYSSDAL: We talk a lot on this show about digital music and downloading. But the good ol' compact disc still accounts for 90 percent of the music industry's sales.
It's getting a makeover from the world's largest music company. In Europe at the end of the summer, the Universal Music Group is going to jazz up its packaging and raise the prices on the hot new releases. And at the same time it'll simplify packaging and cut the prices on older offerings.
Marketplace's Lisa Napoli says some feel that's incredibly beside the point:
LISA NAPOLI: Dressing up the compact disc and charging more money for it is kind of like the Emperor's New Clothes. So says Dave Kusek, co-author of the book, "Future of Music."
DAVE KUSEK: Packaging is not the issue. It's value and convenience is the issue. It's part of a continued denial that the music industry has a problem.
The problem isn't that some people hate those flimsy CD jewel cases. And the solution isn't to make sturdier cases, or add extra tracks and videos. Industry observer Bob Lefsetz says CDs are a dying format and the industry just wants to maximize revenue.
BOB LEFSETZ: This is like, you now, a complete sideshow. It's irrelevent. It's to what degree is it Smith-Corona typewriters and one day you won't be able to sell them.
Lefsetz says it all goes back to those peer-to-peer file-sharing sites where people get music for free.
LEFSETZ: More tracks are traded P-to-P in a month than are sold in a year on physical formats. For every track that is sold at the iTunes music store, there's in excess of 10 that are traded.
In other words, to make money from music will take more thinking outside the box. Not just revamping the box.
In Los Angeles, I'm Lisa Napoli for Marketplace.

On the heels of a shocking video showing the Planned Parenthood abortion business selling the body parts of aborted babies, a new expose' from a group that monitors corporations that finance the abortion giant reveals the United Way is a major donor.
The consumer advocacy organization 2nd Vote has informed LifeNews.com of the release of the Pro-Life Guide to United Way, a new guide that lists the over 1,200 United Way affiliates across the United States and specifies the organizations that contribute to the world's largest abortion company.
"United Way has done many good things through fundraising efforts and partnerships that help communities across the country," said 2nd Vote spokesman Robert Kuykendall. "However, the fact that United Way affiliates give almost $2 million annually to Planned Parenthood is concerning for Pro-Lifers that would want to support these good causes but also want to make sure that their dollars do not help fund abortion services."
Although the United Way's website contains language claiming a neutral stance by the organization on the abortion issue, Kuykendall tells LifeNews that some United Way affiliates donate to the Planned Parenthood abortion corporation anyway.

Papertake Weekly have a take-your-pick colour combi as their challenge this week. I have been looking at the colour choices for a few days now and then it suddenly struck me- I made this card a couple of weeks ago to thank the man who has run a Multi-skills club at my son's school but not posted it before! It did not fit any challenges at the time and I was beginning to wonder if it ever would! I am entering this because it is YELLOW and BLACK.
I painted the Jolly Nation football boy with brushmarkers using the colours of the school PE kit, adding the school logo to the top! He is 3D over a chalked background, mounted with some textured yellow and some mirri embossed with stars. I then stamped some more yellow with the 'You're a star!' sentiment and the two stars from the Playtime clear stamp set from Woodware. The sentiment is from my ever-trusty Elzybells clear greetings.

RadianXT booster with Latch?

Yes you can LATCH it in when used in booster mode.
Quick note for you. The RXT as a booster has a 50lb minimum and tends to fit for a very short amount of time. Since the belt guide does not adjust any higher than where it is, a child typically outgrows the seat in harness mode AND booster mode at the same time. My almost 6 year old will be outgrowing our Radians in less than a couple months, and she wears a size 5/6 shirt. Just want you to know that this is not a long lasting booster at all even though it's advertised to 120lbs and 57". Those limits are incredibly overinflated.

Tess Vigeland: Today the Prime Minister of Greece, George Papandreou, said the country's very survival is at stake. Without billions of dollars in emergency loans, the government could go bust. Word from Berlin today is that the Germans are now prepared to help -- at a price.
Marketplace's Stephen Beard has that story from London.
Stephen Beard: Most Germans oppose bailing out Greece. That's why Chancellor Merkel has dragged her feet. Her government faces a crucial election on May the 9th. She could lose control of the upper house of parliament. Nevertheless Merkel is going to upset her voters. She'll have the rescue package approved by the end of next week.
Analyst Heinz Schulte says Merkl had no choice. There is now a real danger of the crisis spreading across the eurozone.
Heinz SCHULTE: I think the situation is so dramatic, particularly against the background now -- if you look at Portugal and Spain -- that something had to done. She couldn't wait. And I'm sure she's not comfortable with that position.
To limit the political damage at home, Merkel insisted on much tougher medicine for Greece -- like higher taxes and cuts in public sector pay by up to 20 percent. But the recent austerity measures provoked violent protests and strikes in Athens. There's serious doubt the Greek government will be able to administer even more pain.
In London, this is Stephen Beard for Marketplace.

What I truly loved about this recipe was;
A) What an easy dinner they were to prepare
B) The taste is simply amazing
C) My family loved them, and asked for more
D) They were very budget friendly
E) Can be low carb with the addition of pork rind crumbs
So, what is Dukkah you ask? Well, it's a delicious spice blend that is so versatile, you ask yourself why you have done with out this spice for this long...
So my good friend Kecia and I, from Kecia's Flavor Breakthrough went to the farmers market. We had SO MUCH fun!! We explored vegetables, herbs, spices and wine...
You so knew I was going to say that!! But we also explored, you know foodie things! One of them that I screeched to a halt to, was the Dukkah booth.
Ready for this very easy, simple yet delicious recipe? Here we go!
Prep time: 10 minutes
Bake time: 25-30 minutes
Yield: 8 chicken rolls
8 chicken cutlets (thin)
1/3 cup Dukkah, + 1/2 tsp salt
2 eggs, beaten
1/2 cup flour, + 1/4 tsp salt & 1/4 tsp pepper
1/2 cup bread crumbs (I used unseasoned - not panko), plus
2 tbsp Parmesan cheese, + 1/4 tsp salt & 1/4 tsp pepper, mixed well.
3 tbsp (1/4 cup) olive oil
-Preheat oven to 375F
-As oven is preheating, using three separate pans or plates, add;
+To the first one add the flour & seasonings, mix well and set aside
+To the 2nd one add the eggs, and beat, set aside
+To the 3rd one, add the crumbs, seasonings, mix and set aside
-In a small bowl add your Dukkah spice mix and add the salt, mix and set aside. Now we are ready to assemble.
- Pre-spray a 9X 9 baking pan with non stick spray.
-On a flat surface, lay out your cutlets and sprinkle your Dukkah seasoning evenly over your cutlets. Making sure they all get that amazing goodness and all...
You know, making them happy!! What?
- After sprinkling on that amazing seasoning, we are ready to roll these beauties.
-Taking the bottom edge of the cutlet (the one closest to you), roll it into a roll/spiral.
-Dip each one, first into the seasoned flour, then the beaten eggs, and finally into that amazing bread topping!
-Lay into your pan, seam side down and nestle them nice and close. They love company!
-Drizzle them with the olive oil and bake, uncovered for approximately 25-30 minutes, I like the 30 minutes, I like them nicely golden!!
-Let rest for a just a few minutes and serve with your favorite side.
I love serving this with a nice salad!!
While the chicken was baking I sliced up an English cuke, Roma tomatoes, & some green onions w/ parsley. Olive oil, salt & pepper, were ready to roll!
What you can expect is a crispy, moist bursting with flavor chicken cutlet, that is 50x better than your favorite restaurant!! Who needs take out, who needs to go out to eat? Surely not us...
Easy, peasy, family friendly dinner in no time. Best of all?? Your family will think that you are the best next thing to sliced bread!
Till next time!!
Dishin with Didi

Hidden underground in steel-and-concrete silos across rural America, more than 400 intercontinental ballistic missiles point to the skies, poised for launch — and ready to obliterate cities across the world.
First designed in the 1960s at the height of the Cold War, the Minuteman nuclear weapons are starting to show their age, and replacement parts are difficult to find for the weapons designed in an analog age.
Also aging are their silos, many built in the 1950s and now rusting as water seeps through the decaying concrete.
Over the next 20 years, the US Air Force will switch out the entirety of its Minuteman III fleet with an as-yet-unnamed new missile known only as the Ground Based Strategic Deterrent (GBSD).

Having your boyfriend suddenly dump you can be very painful, but finding out that he left you for another woman is almost more than you can take. It is humiliating as well as being heart breaking. You thought he loved you and then you realize he might have been seeing her all along. That makes you angry as well and you could be considering getting revenge by dating his best friend.
However before you do anything that you may later regret, you need to look at what happened without being so emotional. If you still love your ex boyfriend and want him back, you must consider his side of the breakup too. It takes two people working together in order to make a relationship happy and long lasting. It also take two people to tear a relationship apart.
It might be hard to face, but when a man leaves you for another woman, he is usually looking for something that he finds lacking in your relationship. Perhaps you were aware of some of his feelings and chose to ignore them. Now that he is gone, you have to face up to these problems and figure out how to fix them. Just calling him and saying you are sorry won't do it, you have to show him that things are different.
You might have let your looks go a bit and became sloppy in the way you dress. Have you gained weight and thought he didn't notice? Your ex boyfriend might have said something about these things in a joking way, but you should have taken him seriously. Since you didn't, you don't want to do anything that will make him any angrier with you.
Your ex boyfriend's new romance could be of the rebound variety and these seldom last. Don't consider the woman he is with as competition and try to tell him of her shortcomings. Instead, treat both of them friendly if you meet and work on your own shortcomings in the mean time. Having your ex boyfriend still considers you as a friend will make communication with him will be much easier.
Showing your ex that he can trust you could make you the first one he will turn to when the new romance begins to sour. When your ex boyfriend starts crying on your shoulder and telling you that he is disappointed with his new love, you have to remain neutral. Saying nasty things about her may make him want to defend her. Be patient and let him talk while you are being a good listener. Soon he will dump her and you will be right there for him to turn to.
Your ex boyfriend will think of all of your good points and seeing you the way you were when he first met you will make him fall in love with you again and come crawling back asking you to forgive him. Just remember what has happened and don't get so comfortable in your relationship that you think you don't have to keep working at it.

Close to the airport. Arrived 1.00 am. Staff very helpful. Room was spacious and comfortable. Good bathroom.

You can get away with a lot when the spirits are high and the folks are merry, but there's still a line you shouldn't cross when it comes to the shiny stuff. Between keeping it subtle and making a statement (the right way), there is a wide danger zone that most guys unwittingly waltz into. Here are a few quick pointers to help you navigate the treacherous trend of bling.
1) Never mix
There are different ways in which garments are embellished- it could be with sequins, embroidery, mirror-work, or metallic studs. Mixing more than one of the above mentioned styles is an unforgivable fashion crime.
2) Aim for average
Take into consideration the occasion as well as the amount of people who are going to be similarly dressed. What you can get away with for Navratri will definitely not see you through a cocktail party. You should also consider your position at the occasion. You do not want to be the guy at a wedding who is wearing something flashier than the bridegroom.
3) Just ONE thing
If you want to be the center of attention or if the occasion calls for it (blowing out your candles? won an award? completed all levels in Candy Crush?) then you are allowed to go over the top with one item of clothing that is unapologetically eye-catching. It could be a jacket, a cap, a wristwatch or blingy shoes. It's your special day, take your pick.
4) Curb your enthusiasm
It goes without saying that when it comes to bold trends- less is more. Sure, it's the festive season but you don't want to end up looking like a silver-foiled barfi at the dessert counter. If it's the pattern that's blingy, make sure you contrast it against self colours. Glittering rangolis are better left on the floor.
Not everyone is born to follow the rules though. There will always be some of you who want to live recklessly and do their own thing. It's okay, really. Go crazy, light up the room. Give the chandeliers some serious competition. After all, Bappi Da is the limit.

'Friends of the IDF' Sue and Win against Racist Shangri-La Hotel Owner: Tehmina Adaya Guilty
'Friends of the IDF' Sue and Win against Racist Shangri-La Hotel Owner: Tehmina Adaya Guilty
The young leadership division of the charitable group "Friends of the IDF" (FIDF) scheduled a pool party for their members in July 2010 at the Shangri-La Hotel in Santa Monica, California. But Pakistani Muslim, hotel owner Tehmina Adaya cancelled the event on the spot, after learning that the organization was a Jewish, pro-Israel group. The group's guests were refused access to the pool and Adaya was heard saying, "get the f'ing (expletive) Jews out of the pool!" Eighteen of the attending FIDF members sued for discrimination. After a 3-week trial and grueling deliberation period, Adaya was found guilty on all charges.

Re: GEORGE surname in Arkansas
Michael McCoy 3/20/02
Robert & Marilda George lived in Sevier county, AR.Some family say that they lived in Mt. Ida, Montgomery county, AR during the early years of their children, but I have not had the time to research that yet.Some of the family is buried in Mt. Ida Cemetery in Sevier county, so I suspect there may be some confusion with the two place names. One of the sons lived in Little River county, AR at one time, which is just south of Sevier county.

Industry Leaders Address Public-Safety 800 MHz Interference Issues
PSCE President Outlines New Initiatives and Projects
The total amount of 911/E911 funds diverted by all reporting jurisdictions in calendar year 2015 was $220.3 million or about 8.4 percent of total 9-1-1 fees collected. Eight states diverted 9-1-1 fees during 2014.
The data is part of the commission's eighth annual report to Congress on state collection and distribution of 9-1-1 and enhanced 9-1-1 (E9-1-1) fees and charges. The report covers the collection and distribution of 9-1-1 and E9-1-1 fees and charges for the calendar year ending Dec. 31, 2015, and was submitted to Congress Dec. 30, 2016.
The report also contains more detailed state-by-state information than prior annual reports. The additional information includes the number and type of 9-1-1 calls, the number of public-safety answering points (PSAPs) and telecommunicators, expenditure of funds for next-generation 9-1-1 (NG 9-1-1) services, deployment of emergency services IP networks (ESInets) and text-to-911 service, establishment of programs to support PSAP cybersecurity, and the extent of state-level oversight and auditing of collection and use of 9-1-1 fees.
Forty-nine states, the District of Columbia, American Samoa, Puerto Rico and the United States Virgin Islands responded to this year's expanded data request.
Thirty-six states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico reported spending 9-1-1/E9-1-1 funds on NG 9-1-1 programs in calendar year 2015. The total amount of reported NG 9-1-1 expenditures from 9-1-1/E9-1-1 fees was $164.8 million or about 6.26 percent of total 9-1-1/E9-1-1 fees collected. Thirteen states, American Samoa and the U.S. Virgin Islands reported not spending any money on NG 9-1-1.
Thirteen states and Puerto Rico reported having deployed statewide ESInets. Fifteen states reported having regional ESInets within the state, and 10 states reported local-level ESInets.
Forty states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico reported on deployment of text to 9-1-1. Collectively, respondents reported 553 PSAPs as being text capable by the end of 2015 and projected that an additional 844 PSAPs would be text capable by the end of 2016.
Thirty-eight states, American Samoa, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands reported that they spent no 9-1-1 funds in 2015 on 9-1-1–related cybersecurity programs for PSAPs. Nine states and the District of Columbia reported cybersecurity-related expenditures.
The report finds that almost every reporting jurisdiction collects 9-1-1 fees from in-state subscribers, but many states lack authority to audit service providers to verify that the collected fees accurately reflect the number of in-state subscribers served by the provider. Eight states conducted audits in 2015.
The commission submits the report to Congress annually pursuant to the New and Emerging Technologies 911 Improvement Act of 2008 (NET 911 Act), which requires the FCC to report whether 9-1-1 fees and charges collected by the states, the District of Columbia, U.S. territories, and Indian territories are being used for any purpose other than to support 9-1-1 E9-1-1 services. The FCC said its information collection does not include federal agencies or departments operating PSAPs or having 9-1-1 responsibilities.
The FCC requested public comment on the report and the information provided by states and other reporting entities. Comments are due Feb. 13, and reply comments are due March 15.
The full report is here.

Here's one of my boys favorite songs. I made a prop/game/math/literacy activity to go along with it today. My little Brody (3.5) LOVED it. I'm attaching quick directions, the lyrics, and a video…although my son was so anxious to 'do it by himself', I'm not sure if you can make out what I'm trying to accomplish there 🙂
Each time you have a frog 'jump' into the pool, you switch out the numbers. You can hear the song and see how we do it in the video. Again, it's dominated by a very excited 3 year old who loves to sing…so hopefully you can make it all out!

According to 'experts' China needs to grow at a rate of at least 7 percent per year to avoid unrest. China grew well above this level in the past several years, however, this year forecasts are coming close to that level, with many analysts predicting GDP growth of 7.4%. Indeed, just yesterday, riots which occurred in Western China left at least 27 dead.
However, according to Andrew Garthwaite of Credit Suisse we might soon get below that level. In a new report he predicts GDP growth of just 6%. Certain sections of the report can be found below. One saving grace, Andrew says it will take 'several years' before China gets to the 6% level, but does not specify a timeframe. It could very well be that the number is just picked out of a hat and/or Chinese will reach 6% slow enough to avoid social chaos.
Our Concerns About China
- We are bears of China GDP growth medium term: high leverage, slowing sensitivity of growth to leverage, de facto tightening, housing looks a bubble, infrastructure investment is already running at 20% YoY, labour force has contacted last year, wage growth is picking up & the real cost of capital has turned positive. In year one of a 10 year term, reform likely to be preferred to growth! We would not be surprised if Chinese trend GDP growth eased to 6%.
- However, we don't think Chinese GDP growth will fall below 6%, over the next year, as: government debt-to-GDP is 72% (nominal rates are below nominal GDP growth), loan-to-deposit ratio in banking system is still 72% and mortgage debt-to-GDP is one third of US levels.
- Chinese GDP growth below 6% would be a problem for global markets. Up to that level, the fall in commodity prices might help developed market GDP growth, reduce inflation (which makes central banks more stimulatory) and postpone Fed tapering. Limiting overcapacity might also help some of those industries where China has over-expanded (solar, wind, aluminium etc).
- Investment conclusions (Slide 14 to Slide 28): our preferred China-related shorts are mining, steel, mining equipment, the Australian dollar and domestic Australia. We think that the China consumer should be resilient: with the consumer share of GDP at half the levels of those in the US, c12% Chinese discretionary consumption growth is possible even in a lower growth environment. That said, we are underweight food producers and tobacco, on the back of worries about earnings momentum, positioning and valuations.
Total leverage is around 230% of GDP. Half of new loans in the last year have come from the shadow banking system. Total government debt is 72% of GDP (including all off balance sheet lending by local government), compared to an official figure of 15% of GDP. The local government's deficit is 8.5% of GDP, compared to the central government's deficit of 2%of GDP. Shibor lending rates have recently spiked.
Growth is becoming even more imbalanced: China's investment share of GDP is now at 48%, 10 percentage points higher than any other country has had in recent history. In the decade after investment share of GDP peaked in other industrializing countries, GDP growth fell by between a quarter and a half.
When did a housing bubble not end in a bust? However, there are some differences in China:
- There is not a lot of consumer debt in housing. Total mortgage debt-to-GDP is 18% (compared to 76% of GDP in the US in 2006) – and corporate debt in property is only 13% of GDP.
- Banks will continue to lend: the typical loan-to-value ratio on home-related loans is 50%; banks' loan-to-deposit ratio, at 71%, is low; in 2004, banks were recapitalised using FX reserves (which stand at 45% of GDP), and banks lend when they are told to lend.
- Social housing completions should rise (from 5m to 6m in 2013), though social housing starts fall from 10m in 2011 to 7m in 2013.
- Our worry is the proportion of local government revenue from housing/ property development (expropriation of land)….30% to 40%.

Golden Earring - Moontan (1973/2001)

Moontan is an album by Dutch rock band Golden Earring, released in 1973. It contains their most notable radio hit, "Radar Love" and was voted best Dutch pop album ever by readers of music magazine Oor in 2008. In the Q & Mojo Classic Special Edition Pink Floyd & The Story of Prog Rock, the album came #32 in its list of "40 Cosmic Rock Albums"...
This 1973 outing is the album that raised Golden Earring to an international level of popularity, primarily on the strength of the hit single and enduring radio favorite "Radar Love." However, there is much more to this album than just that hit. In many ways, Moontan is like a summation of everything the group had learned on their first three albums. It presents a similar combination of prog epics, heavy rockers, and songs that combine both elements, but everything is raised to a new level of inspiration and polish. It starts with a bang thanks to "Candy's Going Bad," a piece that starts off as a thunderous, pounding rocker but transforms midway into a bluesy instrumental mood piece. Other highlights include the hit single "Radar Love," a relentless rock tune with a left-field instrumental break in which tribal drums duel with a big band-style horn section, and "Just Like Vince Taylor," a guitar-slinging slice of boogie rock that pays tribute to the fallen rock idol of the title. The album also includes what may be the group's finest prog effort in "Vanilla Queen": this classic builds from pulsating, ominous verses dominated by synthesizer into a hard-rocking chorus and also throws in a stark acoustic guitar midsection before climaxing in a frantic band jam augmented by blaring horns and an ever-spiraling string section. Despite the album's overall strength, not every song reaches these heights: "Are You Receiving Me?" recycles some hooks from the group's past classic "She Flies on Strange Wings," and the twangy country-pop of "Suzy Lunacy (Mental Rock)" is a little too poppy to gel with the rest of the album. However, even these tunes benefit from tight arrangements and a spirited, totally committed performance from the group. The result is an album that retains its power today. In the end, Moontan is a necessity for Golden Earring fans, and a worthwhile listen for anyone interested in 1970s rock at its most adventurous.

|What's the Big Deal about the Bible?
|Thursday, 19 May 2011 00:00
Every day people purchase a staggering number of Bibles. In fact, more Bibles are sold in a day – up to 250,000 copies – than the typical best-selling novel sells in a whole year!
Why is that? Because no other book even remotely approaches the Bible's power to satisfy the deepest longings of our hearts. We pick up the Bible when life doesn't seem to make any sense. We pick it up when we feel lonely. Or empty. We pick it up when we just need to know Someone cares about us, personally, without having to perform. That's why the Bible is prominent in the name of our church body – PlanoBibleChapel.
One way to increase our confidence about the trustworthiness of the Bible is to know how it came into existence. No committee sat down and said, "Let's write a Bible." Instead, the Bible was organically assembled as inspired human authors each spoke to the unique needs of their own generations. Hebrews 1:1 puts it like this: "Long ago God spoke to the fathers by the prophets at different times and in different ways." That would be Moses, Samuel, David, Solomon, Isaiah, Jeremiah, and a bunch more.
Those men wrote down what God told them to write--which means they had to be literate--usually on a scroll made from animal hide. Sometimes they jotted direct quotes: "I am the LORD your God. I will be your God and you will be my people." Other times, they wrote what they experienced (Nehemiah rebuilding the wall), what they felt (David in Psalms), or what happened in a previous age (Moses writing Genesis).
In any case, God inspired them to write. By the first century Peter was teaching, "First of all, you should know this: no prophecy of Scripture comes from one's own interpretation, because no prophecy ever came by the will of man; instead, moved by the Holy Spirit, men spoke from God" (2 Peter 1:20-21).
Neither did anyone have the idea of a "canon." Canon is just a technical term for Bible - it means "rule" or "standard." It's a set list of books that religious scholars consider Scripture, "the inspired word of God" (2 Tim. 3:16-17). Theologians like to say the church didn't create the canon; they just recognized the canon already in use.
Where Did the Old Testament Come From?
How did the particular books in our Old Testament make it into the canon? That was pretty much based on common usage and widespread authority. "For since ancient times, Moses has had in every city those who proclaim im, and he is read aloud in the synagogues every Sabbath day." (Acts 15:21). Also of interest was how much effort had been put into preserving and copying the scrolls. Of course, it meant a lot if the book in question claimed to be the word of God, especially if from a revered prophet, like a Moses or David.
No one knows for sure, but at some point the idea for a "closed canon" (which means "That's all, folks!") reached a tipping point. Some scholars think that may have happened as early as 300 BC.
The Septuagint
That pretty much had to be the case, since the Hebrew Bible was translated into Greek by 200 BC. The Jews had started speaking Greek and many lost their ability to read Hebrew. For us, that would be like Americans trying to read a Latin Bible. The story goes that the twelve tribes of Israel each sent six scholars to Alexandria, Egypt, seventy in all, who translated the Hebrew to Greek in seventy days. We call it the Septuagint (Latin for "seventy"). That's quite remarkable, because all 39 of our Old Testament books are included in the Septuagint! (Along with several apocryphal books included in Catholic and Orthodox Bibles).
So our Old Testament has been a fixed list of books since at least 200 BC - more than two thousand years ago.
The Bible of Jesus
It's pretty clear that Jesus and the disciples had a Bible - the Old Testament. In fact, some of Jesus' quotations of the Old Testament match the Septuagint version, which means that Jesus felt comfortable using a translation. Jesus believed the Old Testament was the word of God. He would often say, "It is written...." Or ask, "Have you not read...?"
He also believed the Old Testament was factually true. He referred to Adam, Eve, Abel, Noah, Moses, Lot, Elijah, and Jonah as historical figures. And He said the Scriptures cannot be altered, abolished, broken, nor can they pass away.
Jesus also had the distinct impression the Old Testament was all about Him! After the resurrection He told His disciples, "These are My words that I spoke to you while I was still with you; that everything written about Me in the Law of Moses, the Prophets, and the Psalms must be fulfilled." (Luke 24:44).
In all, the New Testament quotes all but five Old Testament books in more than 300 passages.
Where Did the New Testament Come From?
After the death of Jesus, His disciples transmitted information about Him orally for about 30 years -"oral tradition." However, Christianity was growing into a powerful force. By 70 AD they couldn't keep up. So they started to write about His life and teachings, and also about the early church. Luke, who penned a gospel and also Acts, put it this way:
Many have undertaken to compile a narrative about the events that have been fulfilled among us, just as the original eyewitnesses and servants of the word handed them down to us. It also seemed good to me, since I have carefully investigated everything from the very first, to write to you in orderly sequence, most honorable Theophilus, so that you may know the certainty of the things about which you have been instructed. (Luke 1:1-4)
Toward the end of the first century, a collection of Christian writings took shape and circulated among the churches. Not all, however, were canonical. For example, during the Roman persecution, when their oppressors demanded that Christians hand over their Scriptures, some surrendered the Shepherd of Hermas (not "quite" canonical) but hid their "real" Bibles.
The four gospels as we know them - Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John - emerged winners. They received wide circulation, along with Acts as did the writings of Paul, which were collected into a single body of work. Churches also began to archive copies of Paul's epistles. So a fixed list was starting to be recognized.
A heretic, Marcion, who died around 150 AD, proposed a "purified" version of Luke and ten of Paul's thirteen epistles as his New Testament. He appeared to be revising a list of books already in use. That presented a challenge to the orthodox church, which answered by affirming the four gospels, Acts, and all of Paul.
A list of canonical books dating to about 180 AD was found in a monastery in the 18th century. I mention that because some of the coolest discoveries take place in monasteries. Seriously, every monastery should be required to clean out their attics and tell us what they've got. In any event, this list, a fragment really, called the Muratorian Canon, was an authoritative list of canonical books made at Rome. It's important because it's a pretty close approximation to our canon - Bible.
"Hey, Why Don't We Make a New Testament!"
Also around 180 AD, Irenaeus first mentioned the idea of a "New Testament" to go with the "old" canon. That was important because Irenaeus was a disciple of Polycarp who was a disciple of John - the original "eyewitness" John. And Irenaeus was very well respected, so the idea started to catch on.
But it was finally Athanasius, the bishop of Alexandria, who once and for all nailed down the official New Testament. There was a tradition. Every Easter, the bishop of Alexandria would send a letter and, among other things, give his take on the "authoritative" books. In his 367 AD Easter letter, Athanasius acknowledged all 27 of our books. And they were books already in wide use. So the official sync date for the Bible we use today is 367 AD.
That list was affirmed at synods ("official" religious meetings) at Hippo in 393 AD and Carthage in 397 AD, both of which were attended by Augustine. The canon was closed. No serious challenges since. That's a pretty good Bible.
No other book even remotely approaches the Bible's power to satisfy the deepest longings of our hearts. We pick up the Bible when life doesn't seem to make any sense. We pick it up when we feel lonely. Or empty. We pick it up when we just need to know Someone cares about us, personally, without having to perform.
The Bible we have is the Bible God wanted us to have. The Bible we have is God's Word to us. The Bible we have is God's Word for us.

Cancer is a growth-for-profits industry. The proof in the pudding is that we are writing about it right here and now, to make money from advertising cancer related products and services, right here on HubPages. How can this be reversed? By boycotting the corrupted mainstream medical profession and the entire pharmaceutical industry, and you can add the food industry into the bargain. There are many alternative methods that have proven to prevent and cure cancer but have been suppressed by legislation enforced upon governments by the money sharks who finance electoral campaigns. At last true freedom of information is now available (Youtube in particular) at grass-roots level on the internet. Open your eyes.

It's the deadly disease of refusing to believe you can, it can, we can CHANGE for the better.
I recently found out my father has cancer, I did not receive the news with mourn, or likewise. I really feel like cancer is as deadly as you see it to be if you have it or know someone who has it. The media make it so terrible and it becomes a blight upon anyone who has it. Just the mention of cancer and people sober up like there has never been survivors.
I have not had cancer, and I apologize to anyone who has it and is offended by my response. I honestly feel like it might be an illness, but it's not the end of anyone's world. We all have the power to make the best out of anything, cancer is not a stain that will ruin the purity of possibilities.

If you're planning an upcoming trip, you'll probably be looking for ways to save money on everything from your flights to your hotel to your car hire. One of the best ways to make big savings when you go away is to sign up to earn travel rewards program. You can quickly save up points that you can then exchange for air miles, hotel stays, upgrades, and car rental.
So how do you get started? Here are some of the best ways to start quickly saving up points for your next trip.
Choose a Credit Card with Great Rewards
When it comes to earning travel rewards, the place to start is with your credit card. Many credit cards now provide points every time you spend money on them. For example, AMEX provides some great rewards, and you can see lots of AMEX airline and hotel transfer partners here.
Some credit cards will earn you particular travel rewards offered by a specific airline or alliance like OneWorld or Star Alliance.
You may find that simply signing up for a credit card can earn you immediate points, but many will provide you with a sign-up bonus, which can sometimes be equal to thousands of reward points. And then every time you spend money on your card you can earn points towards your travels.
Shop via Online Portals
Once you have set yourself up with a credit card—or a few different cards—it's just a question of shopping in the right places. One good tip to follow is to shop in online portals.
The way this works is that rather than going straight to an online store to do your shopping, check to see whether your credit card or your travel program provides a portal to the store. Visit the store through the portal, and you can earn points when you make a purchase.
You can buy all kinds of things this way, and you'll be building up your points quickly without losing anything, and it's a great way to make the most of your points and earn more quickly.
Choose the Right Restaurants to Dine Out
You may find that you are able to earn points even when you go out for a meal. If you enjoy dining out, add this factor into your decision-making process. Rather than just looking for a great restaurant, find one that will help you to earn points when you pay for your meal on your credit card.
There are various programs provided by big airlines in the United States, such as Delta, US Airways, and others. So do some research and find some great options for eating out.
Choose Your Favorite Alliance
It is worth looking at the various alliances that you can choose from. There are a few big alliances that comprise different airlines, and when you earn points with one of these, you can use them with another.
For example, Star Alliance is one of the biggest, and this comprises airlines all over the world. If you are planning to fly in Europe, you can still use points that you earn in the United States.
It's best to choose one of these to focus on, so choose your preferred alliance by the airlines that are included. If one alliance has better airlines, opt for this. This is better than spreading out your spending among different alliances. You will get better rewards this way, and it's better to have 3,000 miles with one alliance than 1,000 with three.
Look Out for Services Where You Can Earn Points
Always be on the lookout for services that you can spend money on and earn air miles at the same time. For example, if you want to sign up to satellite television, you may find that you can earn points by choosing the right company.
This is the same with lots of things, so whenever you want to buy something new, find out whether you can earn points for doing so. Not just by spending on your credit card, but also through special bonuses. You may find that you can get an instant bonus 5,000 points by choosing one service over another.
Follow Airlines on Social Media
Keep an eye out for bonuses. Rewards programs will often have special offers that you can take advantage of in a limited timeframe, and the best way to find out about these is to keep a close eye on the rewards program.
Follow the social media accounts and sign up for their newsletters. Then if a special bonus is announced, you can snap it up quickly and earn some serious points for very little effort.
Earn More Points Starting Today
There are many ways to save money when you travel, but reward programs provide some of the best discounts. You may find that you can save up enough for an entire flight or a few nights in a hotel. So start looking into reward programs now, choose one that looks right for you, and save money on your next trip.
