Concert review: Phish cranked out the old-school jams to a packed house at Chaifetz Arena, Tuesday, August 28
King of all jam bands, Phish, made its triumphant return to St. Louis last night — its first summer tour stop here since appearing at the Fox Theater in 2009.
After playing such an intimate and acoustically perfect venue, it was a touch disappointing that they chose the somewhat sterile Chaifetz Arena for this go-around; the band, however, was anything but sterile, putting on a jam-packed show that harkened back to the band's early '90s heyday.
With a first set that lasted nearly two hours, Phish catered to its diehard fans by concentrating on some of its oldest material (the exception being the seemingly out of place "Ocelot" from its 2009 album "Joy"). Starting out strong with "Punch You in the Eye," the crowd could sense that the band was ready to bring its A-game. The scene was set as hundreds of neon glow sticks flew through the air, from the upper levels down to the packed floor, and the audience began to undulate, like one giant, groovy creature.
Frontman and guitar virtuoso Trey Anastasio threw down one of the night's many incredible solos during the upbeat "Runaway Jim," supported by bassist Mike Gordon, keyboardist Page McConnell and drummer/percussionist Jon Fishman (in his signature polka-dot muumuu). Classic "Reba" was inspired, taking fans on a journey through its quirky, rapid-fire lyrical story into its catchy chorus and moving into the long instrumental jam that is one of the best examples of Phish's true essence.
Fishman stepped out from behind the drum kit to play his signature Electrolux vacuum cleaner solo on "I Didn't Know," Anastasio introducing him as the "John Coltrane of the vacuum cleaner." The deep reverberations spread through the crowd like a roll of thunder before the band moved into the opening notes of "The Curtain." Phish showed off its jazz instrumental roots with a cover of Frank Zappa's "Peaches En Regalia," and the room's energy hit a crescendo during catchy favorite "Sample in a Jar."
After the grand final notes of that tune, I was almost certain it was time for a set break; but the band had other ideas — continuing to push on full-steam ahead with three tunes that pre-date their earliest albums, "The Sloth," "Camel Walk" and "Possum," during which McConnell was killing it on the keyboards like the second coming of Jerry Lee Lewis. As if that all wasn't enough, they closed the set with a happy-go-lucky cover of Bob Dylan's "Quinn the Eskimo."
In addition to the great music pouring from the stage, I would be remiss if I didn't mention Phish's light show, which is quite possibly the best in the business. With literally hundreds of lights in a spectrum of colors constantly moving and changing formations in perfect time to the music, their shows are a feast of sight as well as sound.
After about a 30-minute set break (during which most fans expressed sheer awe at the first set), Phish returned to provide another full hour of non-stop jams, picking up right where they left off with "Chalkdust Torture." The band showed its funky side during much of this set, digging into heavy grooves like the highly danceable "Sand" and "Julius." A cover of James Gang's "Walk Away" was pure classic rock fun.
The evening hit its peak during "Also Sprach Zarathustra" (aka the theme from the film "2001: A Space Odyssey"), Phish repeatedly building up the crescendo of this classical Strauss piece, then laying it down hard into the funkiest of jams. There didn't seem to be a single butt in a seat at this point (or at any point, really) — everyone from the floor to the rafters on their feet moving to the rhythm.
Stage assistants rolled out the mini-trampolines for "You Enjoy Myself," another funky fan-favorite from Phish's first studio album, "Junta." Anastasio and Gordon merrily bounced up and down in unison with their instruments, childlike grins spread across their faces. One of the things I appreciate most about Phish is that the players always seem to be having at least as much fun as the audience; the band exhibits a sense of pure joy that radiates from the stage.
After the non-stop jam of a second set, they took it down a little bit for the encore, a cover of the Rolling Stones' "Shine a Light," which was good, if a tad lackluster considering the three hours of music that preceded it. There is really no way to complain about this show, however, which ranks among the best Phish shows I have seen since my first one in 1992. It had the kind of set list most fans dream of.
What Phish proved mostly is that, after nearly 30 years, the band is still, if not even more so, at the top of its game. Phish has enjoyed almost three decades of success that doesn't show any signs of slowing down — in part due to an extremely loyal fan base; but mostly due to the exceptional musicianship of all of its members. And while they are each incredibly talented, it's hard to ignore Anastasio as the standout king of this quirky quartet. A classically trained musician and composer, Trey isn't just a good guitarist: He's one of the best to ever pick up the instrument; he proves it with every piercing note while still wearing a humble and sheepish smile.
Fans who were lucky enough to be in the Chaifetz Arena Tuesday night will be talking about this show for a long time to come. Those who missed it can download the entire show (or purchase a good old-fashioned CD) at the band's website.

The yahweh spirit in particular, the guiding spiritual force behind both christianity and islam, is a childish thug who totally gets off on stirring things up and then watching us beat the crap out of each other.
Jehovah Unmasked's main premise is that the nasty, vengeful people-killing god in the Old Testament, "Jehovah" is not the loving God-the-Father Jesus came from. He is really Satan and/or the Demiurge especially when he sends "lying spirits of God to deceive the people" thru his prophets, and so forth. Half the time the Old Testament god is really Satan or Ialdobaoth, not the benevolent non-violent God who is All-Mother Sophia's other half. Jesus himself told us this world is ruled by the Prince of Darkness and remember that's why Satan had the "authority" to test Jesus and try to break him down - because Jesus had come to Satan's turf to try to rescue ("save") us. More about the good god and bad god all confused with one another at the link above. (Yes, it IS dualism, but it's a good read and I like it, so there).

Vitex Plus
Supporting the endocrine system - naturally!
ViteX Plus is a clinically trialled and tested supportive supplement for horses and ponies, formulated and recommended for pituitary health, metabolic function and to maintain a balanced endocrine system whatever your horses age.
As part of her BSc degree course in herbal medicine our herbalist was required to undertake clinical studies. Hilary took the opportunity to trial a single herb Vitex agnus castus on a group of 50 elderly ponies. In response to the findings of this trial she then formulated Vitex Plus. Owners have reported excellent results with this mix especially with older horses and ponies who struggle to shed their coats in Spring/Summer.
Hilary Self Bsc MNIMH explains the Vitex Plus formula and the herbs in the mix.
At 3 x 50ml scoops per day, 2.2lb should last approx 23 days, costing approx $2.26 per day

Our herbal supplements are added to the feed on a daily basis, if possible splitting the required amount between two feeds. Our liquid supplements could be given direct into the mouth (by way of a syringe) which can be useful if no feed is given during the Summer months.
Directions for use: we suggest to make allowance for type.
Up to 12.2hh : 1 scoop daily
12.2hh to 14.2hh: 2 scoops daily
14.2hh to 15.2hh : 3 scoops daily
15.2hh to 16.2hh : 4 scoops daily
16.2hh+ : 4 to 5 scoops daily
How much do I have give? The amount of herbs you need to give is generally dependent on the height of your horse, with some allowance for type. Full instructions will be found on the packaging but if you have any queries at all please do contact our Helpline email email@example.com for more information. The quantity of herbs added to your horse or pony's feed can be slightly increased or decreased, depending on the circumstances. Very often a lower maintenance dose can be sufficient for a horse or pony that is going to be kept on the herbs long-term. Remember, like humans, all horses and ponies are individuals.
The drug, Pergolide, that is used for horses and ponies with Cushing's Disease is one of the drugs used for people with Parkinson's disease. Pergolide is a dopaminergic drug, ie it increases the uptake of dopamine by the receptors in the brain.

Discover Little Italy San Diego Condos For Sale
Little Italy San Diego is one of the most unique and diverse of the 6 core neighborhoods. As a result, Little Italy Condos and Lofts for sale are some of Downtown San Diego's most valuable pieces of real estate. Located on the northern border of Downtown San Diego, Little Italy has a very quaint and local neighborhood feel. Known as San Diego's only true ethnic neighborhood, Little Italy Downtown San Diego is the perfect combination of residential, commercial, and urban community infrastructure. Made up of artist lofts, small businesses, and top San Diego Restaurants, San Diego Little Italy is a perfect neighborhood for creative and entrepreneurial residents who want to have a direct impact on the local lifestyle.
In the earlier part of the 20th century, the northern shore of the San Diego Bay was home to many Italian and Portuguese fishermen. These men sailed from San Diego Bay in search of tuna, deep-sea sport, and commercial fish. With a decline in the tuna industry, and construction of Interstate 5, the neighborhood was disrupted and endured decades of depreciation. In the early 1990s, local residents and business owners teamed up with the Centre City Development Corporation to preserve the small scale, cultural dynamic of the community and revitalize the commercial district. In 2000, gentrification of the neighborhood began.
Today, Little Italy Real Estate choices offer all components of optimal Downtown San Diego living. The sloping landscape grants striking North bay views and comprises a lively urban village made up of Little Italy lofts, condos, rental apartments, and some town homes. The main corridor of Little Italy is India Street…featuring restaurants, small cafes, boutiques, galleries, public art and specialty shops. Each Saturday, The Mercato Farmer's Market is alive with fresh produce, flowers, fine foods, gifts, live music…and a view of the bay. Nearby, cypress lined Amici Park features a bocce ball court and open space for the community to enjoy.
The Little Italy Real Estate market is comprised of a diversity of complexes and pricing from Mid-rise smaller communities to the larger and more expensive high-rises buildings. As a result, the Little Italy Condos and Lofts come in all shapes, sizes, and styles. Complexes like DOMA, 350 West Ash, and Aperture are comprised mainly of Little Italy lofts. Little Italy condo floor plans are heavily represented in the moderate to upper moderate complexes of: La Vita, Acqua Vista, Palermo, Breeza, Village Walk, and Bella Via. The pricing of Little Italy Condos and Lofts for sale will depend mainly on the square footage, location, and specific complex upgrades.
This urban neighborhood is a center for arts and culture. Little Italy hosts popular annual events such as The Little Italy Carnevale, Art Walk (over 90,000 visitors to this event), Festivale Siciliano, Italian Motorsport Show, and Precious Festa (largest Italian Festival outside of NYC). San Diego's Little Italy is larger than San Francisco's, St. Louis', and New York's combined. Very colorful indeed.
Little Italy Investment Opportunities
Over the last couple years, the Little Italy neighborhood has seen tremendous residential growth from loft complexes to high-rises. Today, there are many different options to choose from as it is Downtown's most completed neighborhood next to the Marina District. Due to the increase in residential living, the neighborhood's infrastructure has and will continue to grow and flourish. Little Italy is for the investor would wants to live an urban lifestyle, but still retain that small "local" neighborhood feel.

Intermediation in Innovation
AbstractThe paper offers a new theoretical framework to examine the role of intermediaries between creators and potential users of new inventions. Using a model of university-industry technology transfer, we demonstrate that technology transfer offices can provide an opportunity to economize on a critical component of efficient innovation investments: the expertise to locate new, external inventions and to overcome the problem of sorting 'profitable' from 'unprofitable' ones. The findings may help explain the surge in university patenting and licensing since the Bayh-Dole Act of 1980. Furthermore, the study identifies several limitations to the potential efficiency of intermediation in innovation. ZUSAMMENFASSUNG - In diesem Papier stellen wir ein neues theoretisches Modell zur Analyse der Rolle von Intermediären zwischen Erfindern und potentiellen Nutzern von Erfindungen vor. Für den Transfer von Erfindungen aus Universitäten in den Industriebereich zeigen wir, daß Technologietransfer-Stellen den Marktteilnehmern die Möglichkeit bieten, sich die Kosten für den Aufbau der Expertise, neue externe Erfindungen zu lokalisieren und evaluieren, zu teilen. Die Ergebnisse unserer Studie können dazu beitragen, die signifikante Zunahme der Universitätspatente und - lizensen seit dem Bayh-Dole-Act von 1980 in den USA zu erklären. Darüber hinaus diskutieren wir Wohlfahrtswirkungen der Aktivität von Innovations-Intermediären.

Was it necessary to remove the chat copy button? BasicChatMods has a copy button for the chat frame that works without issues. Be nice to see one back in Chatter.

About the removed Copy Chat icon, would it be possible to move it to the Other bottom corner? Instead of being on the RIGHT BOTTOM corner, possibly put it on the LEFT bottom corner?

Thanks for the Misspelled love, in the latest update.

the copychat function doesn't work. The icon on the bottom right of the chat frame isn't there anymore.
regards, Sha

Confirmed, angrysteel.
Another issue is that if you have whispers enabled for more than one chat frame - I have them enabled for the frame I have raids in so I can easily see if I get a new whisper, then a separate whisper frame - the whisper shows up twice in the new conversation window. There also seems to be an issue with timestamps.
This is me whispering myself 'hi' once (whispering shown in 3 chat frames currently due to settings not saving properly, also note the missing time stamp):
[13:06:00][W:From] [Me]: hi
[13:06:00][W:From] [Me]: hi
[13:06:00][W:From] [Me]: hi
[W:To] [Me]: hi
Edit: Ok ignore the timestamp bit, was just some of the chat frames had it disabled in chatter for some reason, seems to show up after I enabled it, still a bit dodgy that it shows up for the first message though.Last edited Jul 02, 2010 by Rablet

Toys for the Future Butcher
We like a little red meat now and again. The current trend towards well-designed play food is hard to resist. A trip to the "market" yields wooden fruits and vegetables, knitted cupcakes and even sushi. And now baby can have steak as well thanks to Sweet Meats.
We adore the variety of cuts Meat Medley offers.
Sweet Meat toys are made of polar fleece, cotton quilting thread and polyester fiberfill stuffing.
Each cut comes in individual (toy) size and some also come in family (pillow) size and comes wrapped in butcher paper and sealed with a deli sticker. The Meat Medley is $69.99 and the Racka Ribs is $24.99, available here.

but are they machine-washable? if there's one thing i've found with kids and play food, it's that they still love to put the fake stuff in their mouths. yuck.
cute....i think my dog would like the steak or ham...
Too stinkin' fun! My hubby, an avowed carnivore, is going to want these. For the baby on the way, of course. ;-P My daughter wants to know why they don't have buffalo or venison. Hmmm. Perhaps we enjoy our meat too much?

Jeffrey Campbell Holiday Brings You to the Edge of Glory…
Greetings shoe divas! I write to you from the footwear mothership... my little corner of the world here at our Boston office. I am happy to dedicate my first blog post to my absolute favorite brand to work with and to buy from...wait for it..... JEFFREY CAMPBELL.
Look Of The Week: Back To Cool
Adding some prep to a clean but flirty back to school look featuring style stalker, Mink Pink, Matiko, and remi & reid.
Go Planet! The Power Is Yours!
Was anyone else a huge Captain Planet fan?? That show was the shit. Talk about being ahead of its time! You could argue that the eco-friendly movement has only really taken off in the last few years but way back in 1992 me and my friends could be found posing as the Planeteers and rambling...

Hey all you friends of the forest, why not add a little mother nature-inspired bling to your digits? I love Obey's take on the multi-finger ring, the twig motif is outside the box but still delicate and girly!

National Running Day & Mac n' Cheese
Happy National Running Day! I started running about 10 years ago as I was leaving college and needed to stop living the college life style. I hated running for the first couple of years. I was bad at it, it was difficult, and I looked like a fool when doing it. I still look like a fool and I'm not a particularly good runner but I finally really love it. For the most part, I look forward to long weekend runs. No music, just outside exploring the towns around me. This past weekend I did the Run to Remember through Boston and Cambridge and that gets me started on training for the Chicago Marathon in October. The race was tough, with lots of humid weather, but it served its purpose in motivating me to train smarter.
Unfortunately, marathon training does not mean eating a ton of carbs all day long (at least for me). I trained for my first marathon and didn't really lose weight because I told myself, "you ran X miles today, Spike, eat whatever you want". Not good. The second marathon training helped big time with weight loss (hello intuitive eating). Speaking of carbs, I did recently try Mark Bittman's cauliflower mac n' cheese. You replace a good portion of the cheese with pureed cauliflower. I enjoyed the recipe, although it is a far cry from real mac and cheese. Still a good recipe and process for getting extra veggies in. Here's the recipe.

Android-based Archos 70 Internet tablet now available
Summary: Just a day after the Archos 43 PMP started shipping, the 7-inch Archos 70 Internet tablet has been made available to the masses too.
Just a day after the Archos 43 PMP started shipping, the 7-inch Archos 70 Internet tablet has been made available to the masses too.
Powered by an ARM Cortex A8 1GHz processor, the Android 2.2-based tablet sports a 7-inch HD TFT LCD screen (800 x 480 resolution). Based on the size alone, it's obviously very portable, but it's fairly lightweight too at only 11 ounces.
Here's a look at what else is included in that compact, 0.43-inch thin frame:
- OpenGL ES 2.0 graphics accelerator
- 802.11 b/g/n Wi-Fi
- Bluetooth 2.1
- Micro SD card slot
- Front-facing VGA camera
- Connectivity: USB 2.0, HDMI
Strangely, there doesn't look to be any connection to the Android Market.
Currently, only the 8GB model for $274.99 is available for purchase. A 250GB version for $349.99 (which which sounds like a much better deal) should be following suit soon.

Fox is reportedly charging four million bucks an ad this year, but experts say the hype is worth it. One of the advertisers Dannon, says its sales doubled after its ad two years ago.

Perfect way to carry my cupcakes! Adorable right?? (Taken with Instagram)
If Barbie was an actual woman, she would be 5'9" tall, have a 39" bust, an 18" waist, 33" hips and a size 3 shoe.
• Barbie calls this a "full figure" and likes her weight at 110 lbs.
• At 5'9" tall and weighing 110 lbs, Barbie would have a BMI of 16.24 and fit the weight criteria for anorexia. She likely would not menstruate.
• If Barbie was a real woman, she'd have to walk on all fours due to her proportions.
• Slumber Party Barbie was introduced in 1965 and came with a bathroom scale permanently set at 110 lbs with a book entitled "How to Lose Weight" with directions inside stating simply "Don't eat."
i'm always reblogging this.
I've reblogged this a million times and will ALWAYS reblog it. She is so beautiful…It's a great message.
this is deep
This is powerful. All women/girls need to see this.

text: The Golden Tones of Hélène Grimaud's Existence by Trent Gilliss, senior editor The French pianist Hélène Grimaud describes herself as an agitated and unpredictable child who found her salvation in music. And, now, as an adult, it's wolf conservation and their howling as "one of the most beautiful sounds in nature." This interview with Alexis Bloom for Sound Tracks is delightfully produced and touches on a number of interesting other subjects in Grimaud's life, including her synesthesia and the golden tones of Liszt's sonata. And, if, like me, you'd like to hear what Liszt's Sonata in B minor, what she calls "a monumental quest," sounds like, take four minutes and watch Grimaud perform this excerpt at Steinway Hall in New York. It's pretty magical. (Thanks nhpublictv!) 3 years ago 33 notes Tagged: #Franz Liszt #PBS #classical music #music #piano #wildlife conservation #wolves #synesthesia Comments

I happened across Michael Weatherly on ads for NCIS, and when I tried to search your blog, was shocked he has not been included. I mean... look at the guy - he's remarkably hot. Sadly, there is a dire need for shirtless pics of this man (made all the more tragic since a few shots show a glimpse of hairy chest!!!). But, here are several selections anyway. Unfortunately, some show him with his beau, Jessica Alba (but we can still dream). Enjoy!
Can you please slap Alastair Cook of the England Test Cricket Team?He has a very very adorable face.
PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE!!!!!You have GOT to slap the 26-year-old star of NBC's "Chuck" - and the sooner the better!He's such a cute lanky nerd on the show, and the few pics I've seen of him on the web are pretty dreamy.Here's hoping that we'll see him featured on your fantastic site soon!
He's on the new NBC show 'Chuck.' He's so damn cute I want to cry. Or maybe just grab him and kiss him. Now THAT'S a man-crush.
how bout this hottie?? Tom Williams. An aussie surfer. on this months aussie mens health. seems to be a star there?? is there a dancing with the stars, aussie style?
I had the pleasure of seeing Madonna's Vogue video for the first time in a while, and was pleased to be reminded of another hottie worthy of a slap - he is Salim ("Slam") Gauwloos, the dark eyed chiseled beautiful one of her "vogue" dancers. I had to search just to find his name, and then search a lot more for pics. However, seems our friend Slam is quite the choreographer with his own company and recent photos that show him looking studly in a whole new way.
I recently came across a guy that I thought would be an interesting slap. Rob McElhenney of the FX show It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. There is just something about him I find so interesting and strangely familiar.
Its been 2 years since you slapped Eddie Cibrian. He is a god and I'm sure you can rustle up some hot new pics of him.
Have you ever slapped NESTOR CARBONELL? Michael Carbonaro's name reminded me of Nestor, who is a hot Cuban actor currently starring in the series Cane with Jimmie Smits. Smits is looking a bit worse for wear but Nestor is holding up very well. I think it was in the second episode that there were some very nice shirtless pics of Nestor. What a hottie. He can smoke my cigar anytime!!!
Anyway, I was watching a movie called "Marie-Antoinette" last night, and there was an actor named Jamie Dornan who you should check out.
Are you ever going to do a slap on Kasey Kahne? I have some nice pix of him. I would like to see others, of course. ;)
Another begging request for you to slap Anderson Cooper and Dave Lieberman...please work your magic.

Casey Wittenberg leader at News Sentinel Open
Wittenberg has 2-stroke lead at Fox Den
Casey Wittenberg knows he can't be satisfied with one great round of golf.
Not on the Web.com Tour, and especially not at Fox Den Country Club.
Wittenberg shot 8-under-par 63 Thursday during the opening round of the $500,000 News Sentinel Open presented by Pilot for a two-stroke lead going into today's second round.
"It's the first day," said Wittenberg, who's from Memphis. "It's a great round of golf. It's been a while since I've shot 8-under par in a round of golf, so it's a good start, and hopefully it will bode well for the rest of the week."
Wittenberg leads six players who are 6 under and tied for second: Patrick Sheehan, Lee Janzen, Doug LaBelle II, Will MacKenzie, Alex Aragon, and Kevin Foley.
There are 11 players at 5 under, tied for eighth.
"It's one of those golf courses you've got to shoot low scores," Wittenberg said. "That's your mindset when you tee off. I'm still going to have to go way lower than this to be in contention."
Wittenberg, second on the Web.com Tour's money list ($292,128), was playing in the threesome with Janzen and John Daly.
Daly shot 1-under for the opening round and is tied for 70th.
The threesome started on No. 10 at 8:20 a.m., and Wittenberg got it rolling quickly. He was 5-under after seven holes, and on the par-4 No. 17 hole made eagle for 7-under.
"I hit an 8 iron from 158 (yards)," Wittenberg said. "It flew just a foot short of the hole and went in."
Wittenberg made the turn at 7-under after a par on No. 18.
"I hit some great iron shots on the front nine," Wittenberg said. "I drove the ball in the fairway, which set me up with good
chances to hit some good approach shots. I was fortunate to have that ball go in on 17. I hit a good shot and got a good break as well."
Wittenberg made two bogeys and three birdies on the front nine (his last nine holes).
His big putt was a 20-footer for birdie from just off the green on the par-5 No. 5 hole.
"I was already playing pretty good at that point, but those are always bonus shots when you can make some putts after not really playing the hole that well," Wittenberg said of No. 5. "To sneak away with a birdie right there was definitely important. I was just fortunate to make some putts today and make some good shots."
While Wittenberg was tearing up the first nine holes, Janzen was playing steady and waiting for his chances.
Janzen, two-time U.S. Open winner (1993 and '98) made par on the first six holes and made his first birdie on No. 16.
"It's easy to get caught up in being too aggressive and thinking you've got to birdie every hole," Janzen said. "I was only 1 under and (Wittenberg) was 7 under after eight holes, but I never felt like there was ever a need to panic. I just felt like I needed to make one more birdie to get to 2 under, and however many holes I had left, I had to work on the next one."
Janzen got to 2-under with a birdie on No. 18.
After making par on the next two holes, Janzen made birdies on Nos. 3, 4, 7 and 8. He finished his round without a bogey.
"Today I wouldn't say I was hitting on all cylinders," Janzen said, "but I did a good job of keeping the ball in the right spot, and when I needed to play safe into the green, away from the pin, I did that, and when I had a good yardage from the fairway, I attacked the pin and hit good shots and made the putts. I feel 6-under par was about as good as I could do from where I was all day long."

10 Creative Do-It-Yourself Christmas Decoration Ideas
It's always great when you can make such things as Christmas Wreaths without spending money on them. For example, you can make one from round ornaments that you haven't used for your Christmas tree.
We all get sick of those same boxed ornaments year to year, so why not mix things up and add a few homemade ornaments to adorn your Christmas tree. The possibilities are endless and there are hundreds of great DIY tutorials on the internet to help you create your favorite homemade ornament
Placed in silver bowls, cups, and candlesticks, pinecones become a tabletop forest. Crown each one with a glitter-covered cardboard star.
Since we often get questions about details in our photography, such as requests for paint colors used, we anticipated that a lot of you would want to know how it was made.
Make your season both merry and bright with these clever handmade ornaments, centerpieces, and other craft ideas.
Make your season both merry and bright with these clever handmade ornaments, centerpieces, and other craft ideas.
I have never been much of a DIY-er. For years I have envied my little sis who can quickly and easily knock out another cute design on her sewing machine, or simply turn up a pair of trousers (something she and I need ALL the time due to our short statures!). But alas, while others learned to use a sewing machine in school, I decided to chat at the back of the classroom or bunk off class (let's hope the parentals don't read this!).
For the Christmas tree, in fact, just an open stairway, on which to place candles, festoons, and in no particular order, some personal item borrowed from some other corner of the house. Alternatively, a mirror can be transformed into a totem for the holidays thanks to the light and a written theme. For the small buffet, you may want a tray to be placed almost on the ground, surrounded by a setting that evokes, not surprisingly, the window of a department store in December.
Christmas DIY, do-it-yourself decorations for domestic spaces
For this whimsical piece, you'll need 16 ornaments. First mount eye-hook hardware to the ceiling (or use a preexisting plant hook). Tie two three-foot-long ribbons to it, knotting a glass ball at each end…

Lipscomb Baseball Team Signs Five Year-Old As Honorary Member
By Jason Lamb
NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Lipscomb University's baseball team held a special ceremony today, adding a new honorary member to its team.
Five year-old Brooks Russell is a huge baseball fan. Like most little kids, he loves running around and playing ball.
"He's always wanting to throw the baseball, and always wanting to do something," said Kari Russell, Brooks' mom."
But unlike most kids, Brooks had to undergo several struggles in his young life, including a bout with cancer two years ago. Doctors found a tumor on his spinal cord and performed surgery to remove it. For six weeks after surgery Brooks was paralyzed, and had to learn how to walk again.
Wednesday the Lipscomb baseball team honored Brooks by signing him as an honorary team member in front of a roomful of supporters.
"I know he'll always remember this," Kari said.

Hello and Happy Holidays to the Muellers!!!
I just wanted to share with you how happy we have been with Max and LeRoy.... We brought Max into our lives just over a year ago and Leroy (from Chris and Shauny) just over 2 years ago... (both in Feb!).. They are best of friends and our lives wouldn't be the same without them.. They love the snow, the Christmas lights and the wrapping paper!! Just wanted to share a picture of them, all dressed up for the holidays!!
Happy New Year to all of you and thank you for the blessing you all brought to our family.
We just wanted to let you know that Emmy (Zabrina) has adjusted to her forever home very well. Everyone who sees her, falls in love with her, and comments on how social and loving she is. She is very free with her puppy kisses, and will snuggle with anyone who will pick her up. Our 3 granddaughters always ask about her when we talk on the phone and when we SKYPE, they have to see Emmy and send her kisses.
She is now 15 weeks old, 4 lbs 10oz, and eating like a little piggy. She had her first haircut on Saturday, and now looks so grown-up. I hardly recognized her when I picked her up from the groomers! She has learned to sit, shake paw, and will play fetch as long as someone is willing to throw to her. Having had an older, arthritic Maltese for the last 12 years, we had forgotten about the energy a puppy can display, but she has such a wonderful personality that one can't help but play with her as long as she wants. She is registered for puppy classes that start next week, as we are hoping to channel some of her enthusiasm.
Again thank-you for raising such a wonderful puppy. We have been singing the praises of Mueller's Woodville Kennels every time someone asks where we found our latest addition to the family.
Hi Janice,
We bought two Havanese puppies from you and Wayne last fall. Little Gus and Gracie turned 1 a few months ago and I wanted to pass along a photo. We are so in love with them - they are just the best dogs!! Affectionate, gentle, playful, and always full of happiness. Gus is much more outgoing and adventurous, while Gracie is the shy one who loves to snuggle.
Hope you are doing well. Thanks for giving our dogs such a great start in life.
Annie, Jeanne, and Dennis
Hello Muellers..
We thought you'd enjoy this photo of 4 different dogs that came from your kennel that have been adopted from various members in our family. We all got together recently and tried our best to get a group photo (3 goldendoodles & 1 havaton). You should have seen them all play! They are wonderful pets that bring us much joy.
The ages from left to right -- 7 month goldendoodle, 4 month havaton, 6 year old goldendoodle, and 4 year old goldendoodle.
thank you..
We bought our Mickey from you last year. I am sending this because I wanted you to see what a fine dog he has become. He is well adjusted and loves everyone. I can't tell you how many times I have told people what a wonderful kennel you have.
Mickey is Havenese and part Coton and he is the cutest.
He will be one on the 29th of August. Thank you for breeding such good dogs.
Dexter is doing very well. We love his temperament.
Here are a couple pictures.
