This activity demonstrates how students can personalise and experience examples of the target language by drawing them. In doing so, the illustrative examples become more memorable and the resulting images can be used to revise, recap and reactivate the language at later dates.
- Language level: Intermediate (B1) +
- Learner type: Young learners; Teens; Adults
- Time: 45 minutes
- Activity: Drawing; Grammar drill
- Topic: Grammar
- Language: Passive noun phrases
- Materials: Worksheet; Blank flashcards
Lesson plan outline
- Tell students that they are going to see 12 passive pictures. Tell them that they have to guess what they are going to see by completing the Picture Prediction Worksheet (included in PDF download).
- Let students compare their answers but do not tell them whether they are right or wrong at this stage.
- Tell students that you lied (like Pinocchio!). Tell them that they are not going to see 12 pictures but they are going to draw them themselves.
- Show students the 12 Flash Cards one at a time. These are included in the PDF download. Each flashcard contains a text (a football player being sent off, a criminal being arrested, a naughty child being told off, etc). Drill the language on each card.
- Put the 12 cards text-sides-up on a table or on the floor. Ask students stand up, walk over to the cards and choose something that they feel comfortable drawing. Students should draw their pictures on blank sides of the Flash Cards (i.e. the non-text sides).
- Whenever a student finishes a drawing, he or she should hand it to you and then choose another picture to draw.
- Continue this process until you have all 12 pictures in your hand. Don't worry that some students will do more drawings than others. Some may not even draw at all. This is not a problem.
- Number the drawings 1 to 12 and stick them randomly around the classroom walls.
- Clarify the structure that students have been working with by writing the following on the board: __________ being [past participle] by __________
- Ask students to go around the gallery and attempt to identify what each drawing is. Ask them to write the 12 pieces of language in their notebooks. For some students, the language reconstruction will be quite difficult. In these cases, give out copies of the word cloud to assist with the job (included in the PDF download).
For large classes, you will probably want to prepare more than one set of flash cards in order to give everyone an opportunity to draw. For small classes, the above procedure should not change – but remember that some students will have to make more then one drawing.
I used a number of student drawings from this activity for the basis of the following Pecha Kucha talk:

extremely useful! thank u!
I have tried this with my upper-intermediate teenager's group. A real success and a lot of fun during the 45 minutes :) Worked quite well I might say, and today I am going to try it with my adult group. Let's see how this works! Thank you, Jamie!

'Back 2 Front' Premiere And Interview With Joel Fletcher & Reece Low
EDM.com recently premiered an upcoming collaboration between Melbourne Bounce icons Joel Fletcher & Reece Low, and the track is already in the fast-lane to success. The surefire dancefloor destroyer is a powerful concoction of electro-house synths, Melbourne bounce bass lines, and progressive builds - essentially all the necessary elements of a modern festival anthem. With such a growing popularity in the Australia-born sound, it was a necessity that we spoke with both Fletcher & Low about working on "Back 2 Front," and learn a bit more about their views on the scene, producing, and more. Out on July 14th via Ministry of Sound, take a listen to the exclusive premiere of "Back 2 Front" below and step into the minds of these young and talented producers!
[EDM = EDM.com; JF = Joel Fletcher; RL = Reece Low]
EDM - You two have already worked on a number of remixes together - what inspired the collaboration for "Back 2 Front" this time around? Was there a preconceived sound in mind or was it was more of a "trial and error" process?
JF - We just wanted to make something bouncy! I pretty much started off with a drop and some chords and sent it over to Reece.
RL - I was actually in New Zealand for a show when Joel hit me up about the collaboration. When I heard a preview of what he had started on, I was instantly drawn to the track and accepted the offer to work on it with him. In regards to the process, I think all tracks I work on are more or less trial and error, I just keep working at it until I am 100% happy with it. Both Joel and myself are most definitely 100% happy with how this track polished up.
EDM - Any professional tips you two can divulge for the up-and-coming house producers out there?
JF - Try and be original, even if you're following the trend of a certain genre, try and put your own spin to it. If you're really keen on getting your music out there when you're just starting out, I'd say to release some tunes for free - it's great for exposure!
RL - Yes definitely; biggest tip of all is to never give up and keep pushing until you have reached your goal. Never let anyone tell you "You're no good at this" or "Get a real job." I have received all sorts of comments like these, but I've never given up. I believe that if I push hard enough, I will get there, and I think I have done a good job so far.
EDM - The Melbourne Bounce sound is becoming increasingly popular throughout the world, have you noticed any new trends in the genre's developing sound or direction?
JF - The sound has definitely come a long way. You can hear major improvements in the sound. It's not as basic and simple as it use to be, there's a lot more 'Music' in it so to say. And I think a lot of the bigger EDM artists are starting to jump on board with the whole bounce movement too which is great!
RL - The "Melbourne Bounce" sound has dramatically blown up in multiple cities around the world over the last 2 years, and to be honest I never thought it would get to where it's at today. At the moment there's not really any specific new trends in the genre, but there is definitely more time and effort being put into the production of Melbourne Bounce.
EDM - What should we expect from you two in the coming festival months? Any big performances or releases worth mentioning?
JF - I've got plenty of new music coming! 3 new solo singles, a couple of collaborations (one with Will Sparks, one with Chuckie and obviously this one with Reece Low) along with a couple of remixes! Keep an ear out!
RL - I have plenty of great shows coming up throughout the year, including a 'SLAPJACK' national tour following the success Henry Fong and mine's collaboration of the same name recently on Doorn Records. Release wise, I have a bunch of exciting collaborations in the works. One with Borgeous I am looking forward to, and one with Chardy & Timmy Trumpet. Both of these should be large.

Best PowerBook G3 Prices
- Got a G3 iBook or PowerBook? Join the G-Books email list.
The G3 PowerBooks were Apple's first PowerBooks to offer performance that rivaled their desktop siblings. Except for the rare original PowerBook G3 (a.k.a. Kanga, only on the market for six months), all G3 PowerBooks are supported under some version of OS X.
The WallStreet G3 is not officially supported under OS X 10.3 Panther or later, but it is supported with 10.2.x and earlier. Panther can sometimes be installed using XPostFacto, and even the slower WallStreets can be excellent Classic Mac OS machines.
WallStreet and Lombard are not officially supported under OS X 10.4 Tiger, which "requires" a built-in FireWire port, 256 MB of RAM, and 3 GB of available hard drive space. XPostFacto supports WallStreet and Lombard, and Tiger will install on Pismo. Note that 10.4 normally ships on DVD-ROM, so you will need a DVD-capable drive, need to locate a CD install set, or, if you have Pismo, use another Mac that can read DVDs and supports FireWire Target Disk Mode (see Installing OS X 10.4 Tiger on DVD-challenged Macs using FireWire Target Disk Mode for more on this option).
G3 Macs are not supported at all under Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard, although we have had several reports of Leopard running on G4-upgraded Pismos. For more on that subject, we recommend reading The Future of G3 PowerBooks in the Age of Leopard. (It's theoretically possible that OS X 10.5 could run on a WallStreet or Lombard with a G4 upgrade, but we've received no such reports.)
All of these PowerBooks use IDE/Ultra ATA hard drives. On WallStreet, the first partition must be smaller than 8 GB (we recommend 7 GB to play it safe), and all of these 'Books support drives up to 128 GB in size. They can all support 512 MB of RAM, and Pismo goes as high as 1 GB.
To get the most out of OS X, Lombard is superior to WallStreet, and Pismo is better yet.
Laptop batteries lose much of their capacity after 2-3 years, and while you may be able to restore some capacity using Battery Amnesia (requires the Classic Mac OS), you really should plan to buy a new battery for these old PowerBooks.
Apple offered the original WallStreet PowerBook G3 Series with 12", 13", and 14" screens and 233, 250, and 292 MHz CPUs. Series 2 (a.k.a. PDQ) normally shipped with a 14" display, although there was a special edition with a 12" screen. Speeds were 233, 266, and 300 MHz. The biggest difference between the 233 MHz models is the lack of a level 2 (L2) cache in the Series 1 version, sometimes called the MainStreet model; this earns it a Road Apple warning.
The WallStreet model has two expansion bays, two PC Card slots, plus ADB and SCSI ports, and it can support 512 MB of RAM. This was the last PowerBook with ADB. There are no FireWire or USB ports, although PC Cards can add that capability. These are the oldest Mac notebooks to support Mac OS X, and they only support through version 10.2.8 Jaguar. Weight is just under 8 pounds. To learn more, see Low End Mac's Compleat Guide to the WallStreet PowerBook G3.
The original battery could run a WallStreet for up to 3 hours when new and fully charged, 6 hours with a battery in each expansion bay. We've been very happy with Newer Tech batteries, available from Other World Computing.
- NuPower 4500 mAh/65 Watt-Hour battery (25% more capacity than original), $99.95
- PRAM battery, $24.99
Best WallStreet Prices
- 14" 233 with floppy but no CD, $100, Wegener Media
- 14" 233 CD, no floppy, $120, Wegener Media
- 14" 266 CD, no floppy, $160, Wegener Media
- Recent RAM prices: 256 MB low profile (not all 256 MB modules are fully recognized in WallStreet PowerBooks; some are only recognized as 128 MB, so be sure to buy the right kind, which OWC sells), $28.99 ($58 for maximum RAM)
Also known as the 'Bronze Keyboard' model, Lombard is thinner and lighter than WallStreet. It has a single expansion bay and one PC Card slot. It was the first PowerBook with USB ports and the last with SCSI. DVD is available and requires a special decoder card (included on models that shipped with DVD). Lombard is the oldest Power Mac to support Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger.
A 14" 1024 x 768 display is standard. There is no ADB port on Lombard, nor FireWire, although that can be added with a PC Card. Weight is about 6 pounds, and maximum RAM is 512 MB. G4 upgrades are available from Wegener Media. To learn more, see Low End Mac's Compleat Guide to the Lombard PowerBook G3.
We've been very happy with Newer Tech batteries, available from Other World Computing. Both Lombard and Pismo can use two batteries for up to 10 hours of field work.
- NuPower 6600 mAh/71 Watt-Hour battery (42% more capacity than original), $79.99
- NuPower 6600 mAh/84 Watt-Hour battery (87% more capacity than original), $99.97
- PRAM battery, $27.99
FastMac sells its TruePower 6600 mAh/71 Watt-Hour battery (41% more capacity than original) for $109.95.
Best Lombard Prices
- 400 DVD, $220, Wegener Media
- 500 DVD, $300, Wegener Media
- Recent RAM prices: 256 MB low profile, $28.99 ($58 for maximum RAM)
The same size and weight as Lombard, the 2000 Pismo is faster and was the first PowerBook with a FireWire port. It shipped with a DVD drive and has a slot for an AirPort card. There is no SCSI port.
This is one of the most upgradable PowerBooks ever, and the CPU can be replaced with a 550 MHz G4, which makes it possible to run Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard, although you have to work around installer limitations. Best of all, Pismo is the only G3 PowerBook to support 1 GB of RAM, which really unleashes OS X. To learn more, see Low End Mac's Compleat Guide to the Pismo PowerBook. (With 1 GB of RAM, you cannot use Virtual Memory with the Classic Mac OS, and some installers may not work with more than 512 MB of RAM - the solution is to remove one module, install the OS or app, and then replace the pulled module.)
G4 upgrades are still available from Wegener Media. Daystar Technology, PowerLogix, and NewerTech no longer make G4 upgrades for Pismo.
Pismo takes the same batteries and drive bay modules as Lombard (prices above).
The best prices are marked in bold type in the full listings below. Full listings note RAM/hard drive size/optical or Zip drive. Used Macs usually inclulde a 90 day warranty.
Best Pismo Prices
- HOT 400 DVD, $220, Wegener Media

British workers are almost a quarter less productive than their peers in the United States, 11pc less efficient than the French, but ahead of the Germans.
The Office for National Statistics said that in terms of wealth created per head, the UK is closing the gap with Europe, but still lags behind America. Britain is also 10pc less productive than the average for the G7 group of the world's richest countries.
However, Britain is now 3pc more productive per worker than Germany, a 10pc swing since Labour came to power in 1997. That turnaround is all the more remarkable considering the UK enjoys almost full employment, while 11.4 pc of Germany's least productive citizens sit jobless.
France also has high unemployment, which is one factor behind their higher productivity per employee. France also has a more efficient public sector. The ONS said that public sector productivity had fallen by 5pc in the UK between 1998 and 2001, despite new systems of grants and incentives.
John Butler, an economist at HSBC, said lower productivity had been a feature of the UK economy for a considerable time. "In a globalised world, we are hardly closing the gap with the US, and although the figures for Asia have not been released, I suspect we have not closed the gap there either."
He said it was "extremely difficult" to calculate productivity in the amount of wealth generated per hour, a measure proposed by the ONS that leaves the UK well behind 35-hour-a-week France but closer to the US where longer hours are standard. "In a service economy, how do you work out how many hours people work?" he said.
A Treasury spokesman said: "Over the last decade, output per worker has narrowed with France and the US and has been closed with Germany and Japan."
He added that the Government had implemented an "enterprise training programme to equip our workforce with the skills necessary for the future".
The Bank of England said it was surprised that the large investments in IT in the late 1990s, when the spend on computers per person rose to similar levels with the US, had not improved British productivity significantly. The Bank suggested that could be the result of low spending on research and development.

Unanswered: migrating a table across filegroups
Hi All,
I've inherited a SQL2000 database with tables on a secondary filegroup.
I'd like to keep indices on the secondary filegroup and migrate only the
data (and maybe the clustered index on each of the tables) back to the
primary filegroup. I'd like to continue to keep the nonclustered
indexes on the secondary filegroup.
Is there anyway to do this without literally dropping and recreating
all the indices ?
Your feedback and assistance is appreciated
Thank you

Megan Fox on the set of 'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles'
Megan Fox and several other cast members were seen filming for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles i Tribeca in downtown Manhattan. Megan was seen in several outfits, including her usual April O'Niel yellow jacket. She also wore a long black raincoat at one point because of the rain today and the filming was stopped. She was later seen wearing a button down shirt, black pants, and fringe boots.
Will Arnett, who plays April O'Niel's cameraman Vernon Fenwick, was also seen on the set with his son, Archibald William Emerson Arnett.
Alan Ritchson, who plays Raphael, was also seen on the set. He was seen walking with co-star Abby Elliott.
Alan wore a white t-shirt, black track pants, and red and black sneakers. He carried a cup with some food in his hand. He was seen carrying his baby at one point while his friend held up a black umbrella for him and Air. His baby wore a cyan t-shirt and palid shorts.
He was also seen with his wife Catherine Richardson and their baby son Air. His wife wore a blue dress with white pokadots and was seen pushing a stroller.

Universal Pictures is going green with an adaptation of Wicked, even though it hasn't been greenlit. Adam Fogelson told The Hollywood Reporter this:
Wicked has been an enormous win for this company. The way it works, we should be in agreement together on when the right time to do this is, but I will tell you I believe that we are collectively moving toward Wicked coming to the screen sooner rather than later.
For those living under a Great White Way rock, Wicked is a prequel to the days of Dorothy, in which Elphaba becomes the Wicked Witch of the West. There were rumors that Billy Elliot's director, , was going to do the project. However, there haven't been any updates on if he's still been pegged for the project. Likewise, original Glinda, Kristen Chenoweth, has talked about how she would love to be a part of the project.
I think this one will be on an even faster track if Oz The Great and Powerful makes a killing at the box office. But I can't help but wonder, what about all of L. Frank Baum's original Oz stories. Surely, there's still material there to navigate and create an awesome movie out of, as opposed to adapting hit musicals. Still, seeing this on the big screen would be huge for anyone who wants to take a trip somewhere over the rainbow.

I believe they need 50 folks to make it worthwhile. Just thought South Shore hounds would like the information.

Happy Halloween! The Kentucky Wildcats (5-3, 2-3 SEC) head over to Columbia, MO to take on the Missouri Tigers (6-2, 3-2 SEC) on Saturday at 4:00 PM (Eastern). Missouri started off the season ranked in the top 25, but they have been an odd team this season–with wins against South Carolina and Florida but losses to Indiana and Georgia (34-0), so who knows which team will show up as they take on the Cats–I'm hoping for the team that showed up for the Indiana game. The last I heard, the Vegas gambling line had Missouri winning by 6. Let's hope they are wrong and the Cats can pull this game off to be bowl eligible.
Check back on the site shortly after the game for a replay to appear.
TV Network: SEC Network
Channel on DirecTV: 611
Channel on Dish Network: 408 (non-Hopper receivers) or 404 for Hopper receivers

Laura Kam 370.

Although it's a little hard to see our prime minister in the role of Cupid,
Laura Kam is convinced that if it were not for Binyamin Netanyahu she would
never have met and married her husband, diplomat Jeremy
Issacharoff."After my studies I landed an amazing job as press officer
at the Israeli Consulate in New York, and it was while working there I met a
young, very handsome upand- coming British-born Israeli who had a short
assignment at the Israeli mission to the United Nations," she says. "We started
dating but three months later he was sent back to Jerusalem. I was heart-broken
as I thought I would never see him again."

Not for the first time in Gareth Bale's Real Madrid career, the doom mongers have already declared the dream is over for the man from Cardiff after only three league goals this calendar year. However, those who know Bale the best will be well aware of the man's ability to rise above adversity and once again remind the world why Real Madrid paid a healthy £85.1million for the winger in September 2013. Injuries have been a swear word in the Bale household and after numerous absentees since 2016 have called Bale's Madrid career into question once again but this is not the first time that Bale's Los Blancos tenure has been deemed prematurely over. A solid start soon turns sour Bale's first season in Madrid came under the huge weight of pressure of the world record transfer fee hanging over his head. Despite this, Bale still managed 22 goals in 44 games and on paper at least, his second best ever season as a professional. In his second season, he made 48 appearances in all … [Read More...]
The Rise of Valencia: La Liga's Sleeping Giant
By andym
It's hard to believe that just under two years ago Spanish giants Valencia were in free fall, in relative crisis. Things were so farcical at one point that owner Peter Lim turned to friend and well-respected Sky Sports pundit Gary Neville, despite his distinct lack of management experience, and appointed him manager until the season's end. The ill-thought through experiment didn't last long needless to say. Just shy of four months in fact, after only three wins from his 16 league matches in charge. How things have changed in Spain's third largest city. After consecutive 12th and 13th placed finishes in La Liga, Los Che currently find themselves flying high in second trailing only Barcelona by four points and above both Madrid Giants in the table after 11 matches. So what has changed at the southeast coast club to warrant such a transformation in fortunes? The Golden Generation Cast your minds back to the early 2000's and Rafael Benitez's Valencia were busy proving themselves … [Read More...]
Barcelona's La Liga Future Unknown after Catalan Independence
By andym
Earlier this month Catalan leaders signed a declaration of independence that would see the region become separate to Spain and could lead to Barcelona being kicked out of La Liga. Catalonians voted overwhelmingly in favour of independence from Spain, and president of the league Javier Tebas has insisted that if this political shift is realised, he would not allow the Catalan team to compete in the competition. While speaking with the press he said that if a rebellion succeeds, they would make plans to continue life in La Liga without the Spanish giant. His explanation was that Spain's sport laws dictate that only teams from Spain or Andorra were allowed to participate in Spanish leagues. However, while speaking at a press conference about the team's 2016/17 accounts just 24 hours after the announcement, club general director, Oscar Garu, said that the team must stay in the competition due to the organisation's budget being based on the club's involvement … [Read More...]
Barcelona Righting Last Season's Wrongs with Early Dominance
By andym
The 2017/18 season is proving to be quite the reversal in form for one of Spain's giants. Barcelona had a somewhat substandard 2016/17 with only a Copa Del Rey to show for their efforts whilst their arch rivals Real Madrid took a mighty La Liga and Champions League double. However, after being left in the shadow of Real Madrid's achievements, Barcelona have picked themselves up and find themselves quietly going about their business in a fashion unexpected for a club of such magnitude as the Catalans find themselves. Seven games in to the new season and seven wins have followed for Ernesto Valverde's men and since replacing Luis Enrique in the summer, the former Athletic Bilbao man has been building confidence and impressive results in a side that lost a key player in Neymar Jr in the summer. What is most remarkable however, is that nobody seems to be aware of the job that Valverde is doing at the Camp Nou. Last season Barcelona trailed Real Madrid by just three points but … [Read More...]
Can Atletico Madrid Topple Barcelona this weekend?
By andym
The stand out fixture of Spain's top flight this weekend can be none other than Barcelona's trip to Atletico's brand-new Wanda Metropolitano. So far in the league things have been going well for the Madrid outfit in their new home with wins over Malaga and Sevilla on home turf already in the bank, however, now they face the stiffest visiting opponent of all in Barcelona. Seven matches in to the new season and Barce head coach Ernesto Valverde has guided his side to seven straight wins and five points clear at the top. However, what will be of more importance to the Barce faithful is that they sit a healthy seven points clear of arch rivals Real Madrid. Could that winning run end this weekend? According to recent head to head meetings between the two the simple answer is no. The last two times Barce visited the red and white half of Madrid, they went back to Catalonia with maximum points in the bag with Atletico boasting just one win in the sides last thirteen meetings in … [Read More...]
Can Ousmane Dembele replace Neymar?
By andym
Barcelona were powerless to prevent Neymar moving for a world record transfer fee €222 million to Paris Saint-Germain during the summer transfer window. What followed was the Catalan club struggling to negotiate with Liverpool for Philippe Coutinho before settling on a €105 million deal to sign Ousmane Dembele for Borussia Dortmund. The French international had only shone in the German Bundesliga for one season after his move from Rennes, and had only made his professional debut two years before becoming the second most expensive player in the world at the age of 20. Whilst the youngster will have enormous pressure on his shoulders, simply playing at Camp Nou for the Spanish giants alone is enough, but add comparisons between him and Neymar will only make it harder. Perhaps the Brazilian's performances and goals during his three years in Barcelona will be tainted by the way he departed from the club. It left a bitter taste in the mouth of many fans. Ousmane Dembele is a … [Read More...]
Should Atletico Madrid re-sign Diego Costa?
By andym
They say in life you should never go back. For Diego Costa, Atletico Madrid may be the only option. The Chelsea striker was told he was no longer part of the manager's plans at the end of last season but neither the club nor player found a resolution. Costa is currently on the books at Stamford Bridge and cannot move again until the January transfer window. Reports state that he's been out partying in his country of birth, Brazil. The 28-year-old made his name as one of the best striker's in the world during the 2013-14 season when he scored 27 goals in 34 La Liga games for Atletico Madrid, helping Diego Simeone's side to a shock title as well as reaching the Champions League final in the same season. It was certainly a surprise when the news broke out that Antonio Conte didn't want the striker. Costa has won the Premier League title in two of his three seasons with Chelsea, scoring an impressive 52 goals in 89 games. Atleti couldn't pull off a deal to bring the … [Read More...]
6 La Liga Players Shortlisted for Golden Boy Award
By andym
Six players currently contracted for Spanish La Liga clubs have been shortlisted for the 2017 Golden Boy award. The award is run by Italian newspaper, Tuttosport, with the award given to Europe's most-impressive footballer under the age of 21. 25 of the most promising players in Europe are shortlisted each year, dating back to 2003 when the Golden Boy award first started. Real Madrid forward Borja Mayoral is among the nominees. The 20-year-old came through the youth system before spending last season on loan at VfL Wolfsburg. He scored and provided the cross for the own goal which led Zinedine Zidane's side to victory at Real Sociedad on Sunday. Espanyol defender Aaron Martin is the second and final Spaniard on the list of nominees. The second most expensive player in the world, Ousmane Dembele, who signed for Barcelona over the summer, is among the favourites, after his outstanding performances for Borussia Dortmund last season that earned him his big money move … [Read More...]

Tips For Painting A Rug With A Pro Look
Hi, I'm Ursula from Home Made by Carmona, and I'm excited to be here today to share one of the most versatile and high-end projects you can execute for your own home — rug painting! Yes, you read right. Instead of shelling out the big bucks for that really edgy rug you've been eyeing, consider making your own at a fraction of the cost. I am honored to have my painted rugs featured in the "I Did It!" section of the March issue of Better Homes and Gardens magazine, and now you can create your own stunning painted rugs! By the way, it doesn't just stop at rug design. The same techniques you use to create the rug of your dreams can be used to craft stellar throw pillows, curtain designs, cloth napkins, and more. But more on that later…
Today I'm giving you five tips to help you achieve the professional high-end rug you crave.
Tip #1: Create bold geometric patterns
Geometric patterns are in, and, lucky for us, they are the easiest designs to DIY. Lay tape down randomly for a modern application, or strategically imitate a favorite design.
Tip #2: Use a great painters tape
Start with a really good painters tape to keep sharp lines and prevent bleeding. The green FrogTape is my personal favorite and works incredibly well on fabric. Make sure you take your time pressing along the edges of your tape for perfectly clean lines, then remove the tape as soon as the paint has been applied. The faster you remove the tape, the better.
Get the template for this rug here!
Tip #3: Go with sisal or flat weave rugs
From a decorative perspective, we love a flat weave or sisal rug, but from a paint-it-yourself perspective, we really adore it! Sisal has a texture that makes painting simple and generally bleed-free, and a flat weave rug (with the emphasis on flat) or any cotton-based rug that doesn't have large woven bumps ensures tape can be applied flat and secure.
Tip #4: Use stencils or other creative templates
Tape may be the go-to for creating designs, but don't stop there! A simple cookie cutter can be used to create a popular polka dot design, and stencils are perfect for more intricate designs. Be creative, and think outside the box!
Tip#5: Go off script and apply designs to other mediums
Apply your newfound skill to curtains and throw pillows for decor that complements your beautiful new rug design. Learn how to make these trendy designs using tape at Home Made by Carmona.
By painting a rug or other decor item, you'll add a posh, custom feel to your space, as if you shop only high-end decorator designs. Not to mention, you'll save a ton of money and obtain some serious bragging rights!

February 27, 2017 at 11:24 am , by WebAssign Login

if not, no problem just let me know and I'll delete it.
Regardless keep up the good work.
April 16, 2017 at 9:47 am , by Laura
Hey, what a great idea! Could you let me know how you wash the pillows and rugs as the light base colour isn't very practical without washing over time. Thanks!
April 20, 2017 at 8:47 am , by Ritz
Can u plz tell what paint u used for painting a rug , is it a fabric paint?
April 29, 2017 at 11:39 am , by Dianne Heltzel
Where do you get your white flat weave rugs? I can't find any that are totally white. Thank you! Love your designs!
July 11, 2017 at 8:33 am , by Robin @CarpetCleaningExpertsMelbourne
Wow. These rugs really look great. I'm definitely going to try and make one myself. About the paint…my opinion is that any fabric paint will do the job, the question is that most of them are water-based and washing will be a problem.I have some experience with carpet cleaning and if it's about a bigger rug or more than one piece I'd prefer dry cleaning .
August 21, 2017 at 9:54 pm , by Carol
wow! love it! what kind of paint did you use and where did you get those rugs?

Born 2016
RHR Miss Ames Lace Te
From the south west corner of Wild Rose country comes a unique opportunity to purchase a standout filly from the heart of our program. Although they were not considered to be available for sale, in 2016 one single buyer was able to convince us to part with full genetic siblings born in 2013, 2014, and 2015 demonstrating the confidence in owning this "Best in Alberta" type of horse. This powerful but feminine filly was halter trained by Champion trainer Heather Massie in the fall of 2016 at her home in Wardener, British Columbia. This is a rare opportunity to own this highly sought after cross.

You may be wondering what you're doing here after clicking on your saved link to fruitcake.ca. Don't worry, it's just lil' ol' me, but I've closed the fruitcake business and am moving on to my new venture of writing. On this new site you'll see photos and videos, get great recipes, and will be able to feel the fab Hall Road vibe as a result.
As some of you may know, I'm a dog and cat owning, beekeeping, bird feeding, gardener who enjoys cooking and loves to bake. After 12 years I've retired from my fruitcake business so I can concentrate on writing as a full time career. I've been published in Okanagan Arts Magazine and am an avid writer of letters to the editor. I'm currently embarking on a memoir of my fruitcake business.

The City of Everett is moving forward with a partnership with Catholic Housing Services to develop a low-barrier housing facility to serve chronically homeless Everett residents. Mayor Ray Stephanson has written a piece for the Everett Herald that does an excellent job of summarizing the need for low barrier housing while addressing common community concerns with this specific project, along with the plans that paved its way. In his own words, "the people on our streets are Everett residents, and members of our community. For their sake, and for the sake of our entire city, we must take action."

Everett Low-Barrier Housing Forum
On February 1st, the City of Everett held a community forum to follow up the November event featuring Lloyd Pendleton. The forum, which can be viewed here, featured experienced housing practitioners from around the state who operate successful low-barrier housing developments. These developments house homeless individuals with significant barriers to traditional housing options – typically multiple mental health diagnoses, perhaps criminal history, and more. These practitioners identify the individuals with the greatest needs, and place them in stable housing. Individuals are provided with the services they need to move forward in their lives, but compliance is not mandatory. They will not be asked to stop drinking completely, for example, but will be asked to stop drinking just enough to comply with minimal obligations. From that point, the pieces typically start to come together, with better success and less negative community impact than if they were still homeless. The discussion from the event was especially useful for those less familiar with low-barrier housing, as the practitioners discussed a lot of common community concerns with these housing projects and dispelled a number of common misconceptions about the chronic homeless population. Expect much more on these topics over the coming weeks on our blog!
Lloyd Pendleton and Housing First
As part of its Streets Initiative, the City of Everett is hosting a series of community housing forums. The first, back in November, featured a presentation by Lloyd Pendleton. Mr. Pendleton was a leader in writing and implementing the State of Utah's plan to end chronic homelessness, with fantastic success through a "housing first" model. I'm posting now as it has come to my attention that the presentation has been posted on YouTube, here, and I would encourage everyone to view it. Not only has this been a highly successful program with many practical lessons to observe, Mr. Pendleton is an engaging, inspiring speaker. More information on his work can be found on Everett's site.
The next Community Housing Forum will take place on February 1st, with a continued conversation on local successes in housing first models. More information available here.

Romney-Ryan: Fracturing Our Sense of Community?
This story is cross-posted with permission from AFSCME International's Greenline Blog. Thanks to Joyce Barksdale of AFSCME.
Washington Post columnist Eugene Robinson writes that Mitt Romney's choice of Rep. Paul Ryan as his running mate confirms his contempt for working people and public services.
Ryan became the darling of ultra-conservatives after designing a budget that would raise taxes on the middle class to give the rich bigger tax breaks. Romney's selection, Robinson writes, signifies that the upcoming election is really a choice between two starkly different philosophies – "We're all in this together" versus "I got mine".
He writes:
"School bus drivers don't make a lot of money. Nor, for that matter, do the clerks who help keep unqualified drivers and unsafe vehicles off the streets. But these workers are not mere cogs in a machine designed to service those who make more money. They are part of a community.
"The same is true of teachers, police officers, firefighters and others whom Romney and Ryan dismiss as minions of 'big government' rather than public servants."

Dr. Mark > Now this is just theory and IMO but if the UAE (Senior lead of OPEC) moves to the Yuan as its reserve currency it cancels the position of the Petrodollar completely. Essentially forcing countries to trade in Yuan and lowers the oil trading strength of the USD.
So, if Iraq also moves, along with OPEC to the Yuan the US will need to move on their Dinar quickly to exchange in order to either pay the bonds the Chinese hold and I believe will call on those bonds or to take immediate advantage of the oil credits previously negotiated. IMO.....Checkmate!

Kelly123 : What happened that you changed from them showing us the budget on December 17th, to showing us nothing in December? I am curious as to what happened that changed your mind? Thank you, Frank!!!!!!!!!!
Aggiedad77: In my humble opinion.....we are awaiting the action/results of the committee that was formed at the end of November....early December to deal with the sliding oil price issues......they are taking time to address this properly IMO.....they do not want to bring forth a budget that would immediately make it appear they have "oil" on their faces.
Again, IMO.....a slight delay is not cause for alarm, but instead one should recognize their keen sense of "getting it done right the first time" philosophy.
As Frank has pointed out.....they may very well get some things accomplished in December but not apprise us of the activity until after the first of the new year.
Enjoy the cheer and celebration of the Holidays that are quickly upon us. Aloha Randy
Kelly123 » Thank you, Randy! I am not worried, was just wondering. The CBI told us that they were not waiting on the budget for Economic Reform ... I think things are happening and things are progressing forward at a very rapid pace. I like understanding news and I like understanding comments and what is behind changes. Thank you sooooooooo much!!! Have a fabulous day!!!!

I read the article that you are referrring to and it does not state that they are moving solely to the Yuan. Their main reserve will still be the USD. Go back and read it. I'm sorry that people keep changing the facts of an article to get people worked up. It is true that the ME is dropping the price of oil to try to shut out some of the more expensive producers, like the US. This was talked about this morning on Squawk Box. Please tell the facts as they are meant to be presented. Please give the whole article and not just pick out pieces you want people to hear or read. Will all due respect, Thanks.

Sorry to break the news to you but if it's just the facts you're looking for M'am, then you're in the wrong endeavor. You'll never find anything factual in the news. Either on television nor in a self promoting/directing press release disguised as a fact filled article.
Thanks for the info. I read an analysis that this OPEC move was to particularly cause grief in the fracking world to eliminate some of the little players since with oil at $60 barrel fracking is not worth the efforts. Once fracking is slowed or stopped then oil goes back up and too expensive for frackers to get back in! Pretty diabolical if true but who knows! I have never been a conspiracy theory guy but we may know soon!

Okay, it's this quiz thingie going around, where you pick your sixteen favorite movies, and choose a quote from each one, and now you guys have to guess the movie from the quote and I'll write your name next to it when you guess it. When I see that you've guessed it, anyway, and if Blogger cooperates, which it hasn't been. (And still isn't–I'm having to make three or four publish attempts every edit.)
Most of these I've tried to pick slightly-more-obscure lines from minor characters. But a few, like the first, would have been virtually unguessable had I done so, so I've gone with the one you'll know.
1. "To crush your enemies, to see them fall before you, and to hear the lamentations of the women." Conan the Barbarian–Jenn
2. "I could be home right now, drinking this monster eggnog my brother makes with lighter fluid!" Better Off Dead–Cherie
3. "I wrote my phone number on it, in case you feel like dockin' at my moonbase some night!" Free Enterprise
4. "And I'm Gary Cooper. But not the Gary Cooper that's dead!" The Sure Thing
5. "Is being an idiot like being high all the time?" The Machmaker–Cherie
6. "They took the little ones…" Lord of the Rings (this is from Fellowship but I love all three films equally)–Robyn
7. "I'm gonna need two dragons." Starsky & Hutch
8. "She's not keen on him! She's only keen on me!" About A Boy–Isabella
9. "You don't whack guys! Look in your heaaart!" Miller's Crossing–Evil Editor
10. "I'm talkin about working for a living! I'm talkin' about sharkin'!" Jaws–Robyn
11. "We neither of us perform well for strangers." Pride & Prejudice–the good Colin Firth version, not that Keira Knightley travesty
12. "I apologize. I always thought you were a cold, calculating sort of officer. But you're really…quite emotional, aren't you?" The Dirty Dozen. It was even #12 to give you a hint!
13. "It's Christmas. It's the time of miracles." Die Hard
14. "I've known loan sharks more forgiving than you." The Ref–Cherie
15. "Well, that's the big trick, isn't it?" Star Wars. You should all be ashamed of yourselves for not getting this one.
16. "Are you sure? Because it looks like he's…leaning." While You Were Sleeping–Robyn
So there you go. Guess away.
We're going to Cardiff tomorrow, so hopefully I will have a couple of pictures to post on the blog. If we remember the camera. And if we don't get up in the morning and decide we don't feel like it after all.
WIP currently at 58k. October has been the most wasted of wasted months as far as work has gone. Between the laptop/juice thing, and the hubby's job interviews, and my friends expecting me to, like, actually talk to them and stuff…ugh.
And I so have my fingers crossed that my hometown team wins the World Series…but I'm not talking about it because I don't want to jinx anything…please don't let them choke *again*.

In her column in the Daily Mail, Katie Hopkins declared she would be undergoing brain surgery to try and cure her epilepsy.
However, it seems the surgeons have found a more serious problem in their work. An official statement was made by the hospital earlier today: "We can confirm that in the first stages of the operation, surgeons reported difficulty locating the brain of Ms. Hopkins."
"It's the most perplexing problem I've seen in my career." One surgeon, a Dr. Nick, said to bfnn. "I'm not sure what our next step will be, but we're gathering some microscopes to do closer inspection, in case we missed it."
Whilst they assure us that the operation will take place, there have been many outpourings of support for the controversial columnist. Others have been perhaps less supportive of Ms. Hopkins and her views, though many have wished the surgeons good luck in their task.
Although the surgical team failed to find Ms. Hopkins' brain, they did confirm they found certain other items. A bus ticket, some loose change and a back of a TV remote were also retrieved from inside the columnist's skull.

Each of these buttons have a task. Some may do several tasks depending on what mode your camera is in. The model of your camera will also have an influence on the number and function of these buttons. It seems the more expensive the camera the more buttons it has.
Regardless of the cost or size of your dSLR the first step to discovering what each of these buttons do is your instruction manual. As you go through this article you might want to have your manual opened next to you. As we go down the list you can reference your manual and compare your camera's function with what is discussed here.
This illustration shows some of the most commonly encountered buttons on a digital SLR. As you can see, they are divided into four groups with a variety of buttons in each group. Let's go over them one at a time starting with the shutter button.
Shutter release button: This is the one button most people are completely comfortable with as it has a very simple function, taking a picture. However, that's not all it does.
By pressing this button half way the camera does two things simultaneously; activate the auto focus (if it's on) and activate the camera's on-board reflected light meter. So in one step the camera is focusing the subject and taking a light reading.
If you are in manual mode you will use the meter to set your camera's exposure setting. If you are in one of the auto modes the camera will do this adjustment for you and you can simply press the button the rest of the way and take the picture.
Mode dial: This dial allows you to select the operating mode your camera will be operating in. For beginners the first mode they'll explore is the 'P' program mode. In this mode the camera handles both aperture opening and shutter speed. The user will have to manually dial in the ISO rating.
Advanced users will work with the 'M' manual mode. With this mode the camera operator makes all the selections regarding exposure; ISO, shutter speed and aperture opening.
Two other commonly used settings are the 'A' or 'Av' mode for aperture priority and the 'S' or 'Tv' mode for shutter speed (time value). Different manufacturers will use different markings but those are the two most common ones.
Depending on the camera, there will be other additional selections. These include user programmable settings and scene specific settings such as sports, close up or night.
Function buttons: These are numerous and have a variety of functions depending on the model. Most models do share some basics and are seldom manufacturer specific, meaning there is a uniformity across makes and models. They include;
Menu and Info buttons. These allow the user to access the camera's menu system and image information respectively. The menu button allows access to seldom used functions such as mirror lock up, multiple or double exposures, flash functions such as sync speeds, rear curtain/second shutter firing, etc. You can also access things like battery info and memory card formatting.
The info button is usually tied into accessing information about an image or information about the current camera settings. This includes accessing histograms and the various user controllable settings such as shutter speed, aperture and ISO as well as white balance and timed shutter release.
The plus and minus buttons are usually tied to the preview button. They allow you to preview, or 'chimp', the photos you've taken. You can zoom in or out with the (+) and (-) buttons. If your camera has live preview mode (the rear display rather than the viewfinder) they allow you to zoom in to check focus.
The [-/+] is used for exposure compensation and the star button is used to lock exposure, focus or both (depending on how you set up your camera.) The grid [-+-] button relates to the focal points viewable through the viewfinder. It toggles through the different focusing modes and allows manual selection of the focusing points.
Lastly, the trash button is used to delete images from your camera. You will find the more expensive the camera the more function specific buttons it will have. There may be a button for white balance and a button for the self-timer for example.
Selector dials: Usually found in several locations, selector dials are large wheels or omnidirectional buttons that allow the selection of an item from a list. For example, the aperture/shutter speed is selected by turning a dial up or down from one setting to the next. They are also used to make selections from a list in the camera's menu. On some basic models the selector dial is used in conjunction with a function button and some dexterity is needed to use them.
Display screen: Your camera may have a variety of display screens available that displays the state of a function or setting. The viewfinder has a limited display that is geared toward exposure settings (aperture, shutter speed, ISO) and well as battery life and focus points.
The camera will also have a large display screen on the back of the body that serves multiple uses. It can show you a preview of the image you just took or it can display the image information, including histogram. It can display your current settings from exposure to battery life to white balance and more. It also allows you to browse through the camera's menu to make advanced selections.
Some models may have a smaller display at the top of the body for quick access to camera settings such as exposure, battery and such. Again, the more expensive the camera the more features it will have.
The best way to learn your camera's abilities is to take time and read through the instruction manual that came with your camera. Even if you've had your camera for a while it's good practice to revisit the manual. You will be surprised at some of the hidden functions you'll discover you never knew your camera had.

Virginia Tech football schedule predictions and early game-by-game preview for 2016. Projecting how the Hokies will do this year.
The Hokies have to replace a legendary head coach, but can Justin Fuente get the job done in his first year? How does the Virginia Tech schedule work out? Check out the preseason predictions for every game.
Sept. 3 vs. Liberty
This should be an okay Flames team, but the Hokies are going to come out roaring on both sides of the ball with an effort of total and complete domination. It's going to be a fun coming out party.
Preseason Prediction: Virginia Tech 48, Liberty 3
Sept. 10 vs. Tennessee (in Bristol)
Is this the big early statement for the Hokies? In a way, yeah, because they'll play well and get the offense moving in a fun game, but Tennessee will have way too much pop in the fourth quarter with Jalen Hurd and a pounding ground attack finishing it off.
Preseason Prediction: Tennessee 37, Virginia Tech 31
Sept. 17 vs. Boston College
The Eagle defense should once again be special, and the offense will be stronger – it can't be any worse, but in the ACC home opener, Tech will get up early on a few good drives and coast from there.
Preseason Prediction: Virginia Tech 27, Boston College 10
Sept. 24 vs. East Carolina
It's a dangerous non-conference game heading into a bye week. There should be plenty of drama as the Pirates come out trying to push the ball down the field to open things up. ECU won't have the defense to hold up and take advantage of a few solid pass plays here and there from the offense.
Preseason Prediction: Virginia Tech 34, East Carolina 17
Oct. 8 at North Carolina
The Tar Heels will worry that they don't quite have their offensive groove, and they're not going to find it against the Hokies. However, even with Virginia Tech getting a week off, will be just good enough to get out alive in a tough home battle.
Preseason Prediction: North Carolina 24, Virginia Tech 21
Oct. 15 at Syracuse
The Orange offense will just start to figure it out under new head coach Dino Babers. It'll be a good, strong performance at home against a Hokie team reeling a bit from the loss to the Tar Heels. Virginia Tech will be sloppy, Syracuse will be sharp, and the Hokies will end up giving one away.
Preseason Prediction: Syracuse 27, Virginia Tech 23
Oct. 20 vs. Miami
The Hokies will be reeling after two straight losses, and they're going to need something special on a nationally-televised Thursday night game against the unbeaten Hurricanes. Miami will come up with an awful game, but mostly because Virginia Tech will force the issue in a huge turnaround win for Fuente and his team at the ideal time.
Preseason Prediction: Virginia Tech 24, Miami 16
Oct. 27 at Pitt
It's a second straight Thursday night game for Virginia Tech, but at least it'll be a full week to get ready. The Panthers, though, are coming off a bye week and should be rested enough to get the ground game thumping. It'll be a defensive war with Pitt hanging on late.
Preseason Prediction: Pitt 21, Virginia Tech 17
Nov. 5 at Duke
Unfortunately for the Hokies, Duke will be desperate after losing two games in a row on the road. The Blue Devil offense will pick just the right time to get hot against a Virginia Tech team that won't quite bring it's A game. It'll be a turning point game for the Hokies, and it'll also be panic time with five losses already in the books.
Preseason Prediction: Duke 27, Virginia Tech 20
Nov. 12 vs. Georgia Tech
On a rough patch of four losses in five games, the Hokies will desperately need this win – and it'll get it with one of its better overall defensive games. The linebacking corps will be stellar as it stalls drive after drive, forcing the Yellow Jackets to settle for field goals in key moments.
Preseason Prediction: Virginia Tech 31, Georgia Tech 16
Nov. 19 at Notre Dame
This would normally be a tricky game for the Fighting Irish with the road game at USC coming up next, but it's the home finale in South Bend and the team will be deep in the hunt for a possible College Football Playoff spot. Virginia Tech will play well and make it dramatic, but the Irish dream will still be alive on a late touchdown.
Preseason Prediction: Notre Dame 26, Virginia Tech 20
Nov. 26 vs. Virginia
The Cavaliers will be looking to find something positive in Bronco Mendenhall's rough first season, but they're not going to get it as the Hokies play just well enough defensively to overcome an inspired effort from the Cavaliers' defense.
