**WE ARE LIVE** It took a couple of days, but now we are officially LIVE in Google Earth! Check it out by downloading Google Earth 4 and fly to "1 University Dr, Springfield, IL" and we will be there! Make sure you enable 3D Buildings as well in the lower left hand "Layers" box.
**My Jing account only has 1GB of bandwidth that apparently I reached after 5 views yesterday…I'm going to work on fixing that today, but if you cannot view the video, my apologies.**
I've had something lately that I haven't really had for a while: spare time. I've decided that I wanted to put some of that time to good use. I stumbled across a video on YouTube about the University of Colorado in Boulder, CO.
So I thought, why not do that for my campus?! I really enjoyed my 3D design class, so I told myself, "Self, you're gonna do this!" I went to Google Earth to figure out what to do. They have a program called Google Sketchup which I downloaded, and after a couple days of testing and trying to figure it out, I was able to construct something that I thought looked pretty good. Watch the video below that I made using a service called Jing, something I had forgotten I was able to get. @Joe, Jing allows me to do screen captures for free! *Shakes head…
For now, I cannot embed my screencast video. Click here to view the screencast of my Google Earth Video.
I plan to be able to complete all the buildings within a month or two (it took me about 4 days to do UHB). It may not be a very widely used service, but I think some students will enjoy going in and playing around with it. Plus, it gives our online population the ability to see our campus without having to actually travel here. 2D photos can only do so much. So go download Google Earth and type in our address "1 University Plaza, Springfield, IL" and play around with it. Let me know what you think!

Lee's Travel Expenses January - June 2018
Lee's duties as a Senator for NSW and a portfolio holder for the Australian Greens require her to travel both within NSW and interstate. Senate related travel is paid for using parliamentary allowances.
As Australian Greens spokesperson for democracy Lee has long campaigned for more scrutiny of how MPs use allowances and for this information to be made public as close to real time as possible.

The legendary King Diamond took the stage on the 25th of November at the Filmore in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania for an intense show featuring the entire classic Abigail album. This epic show was one of two shows on this tour being filmed for an upcoming DVD, so you knew that King Diamond was going to have an epic stage setup and well as not pulling any punches with his stage crew.
From the opening act, the veteran thrash legends Exodus, the crowd was getting ready to get blown away by King Diamond. As Steve "Zetro" Souza talked about how lucky the Philadelphia crowd was to be present for a DVD filming, the crowd eagerly awaiting the beginning of what would be a legendary concert.
As the crew put the finishing touches on the stage, we got to experience one of Diamond's nicest stages. While the stage seemed somewhat cramped, there were two stairways leading to a small balcony with room for quite a few band members. Between the stairs sat the drum kit and a little pathway where the band played the majority of the show.
Once the lights went down and the band awaiting the arrival of King Diamond, Grandma was wheeled out on her wheelchair and the band came out for the opening of the how. As the band began the opening of "Welcome Home," Diamond came out to wheel Grandma to the middle of the stage. As you heard the opening lyrics, you could tell that Diamond was in rare form.
King Diamond sounded better than he has in twenty years. In recent years, Diamond has been criticized for possibly using alternate vocalists for some of the high notes in his songs. While there has never been proof of this, there were plenty of people that believed this. After seeing him live, it really did not look like that was the case. Livia Zita was there for background vocals as she has been for over a decade though. From recent comments, King Diamond says that his voice is the strongest that it has been in decades. That much, I can vouch for after his intense show.
After the opening, Diamond played the live staples of "Sleepless Nights," "Eye of the Witch" and "Halloween" followed by a small sampling of Mercyful Fate songs. Each song seemed stronger than the last with such a tight band and with Diamond being spot on for every single song.
Much criticism was made about Diamond only playing two Mercyful Fate songs – the staple "Come to the Sabbath" and the title track from the epic Melissa album. With Diamond playing the entire Abigail album, there was not much room for any more Mercyful Fate tracks. While I would have liked to hear more, this was a King Diamond show, so he plays his own songs for the majority of the concert.
After what was a brief opening, Diamond began Abigail in its entirety. This was the second time that I was able to see King Diamond play his best album in full and it was even better than the last time. The dramatic opening was done in full and Diamond belted out classic track after classic track with the highlights of the album being "The 7th Day of July 1777," "Omens" and "Black Horsemen." Of course, the entire album as a whole is one of the greatest albums ever recorded, but I had to pick highlights.
The only downside to the concert is the same as every other King Diamond show. The set was short clocking in at under 90 minutes. I assumed that the show would finish after "Black Horsemen" from having experience with his shows in the past, but the seemed rather shocked with the lack of encores.
With that being said, the King is up there in years and is still one of the most vibrant metal musicians out there. With his recent health issues behind him, the legends looks and sounds better than ever.
Also, looking better that ever was longtime actress for King Diamond's shows Jodi Cachia, who is simply hot and frightening all at the same time. Her movements are all as calculated as Diamond's every move. If you have never been to a King Diamond show, you need to see it. It is incredible music, but with a show on top of the music. It is a scene that everyone needs to experience.

Chicken Lavash Soup Recipe (Tortilla Lime Soup)
As a child, Maman would always tell us kids not waste food; it's "tội chết" ("dreadfully sinful" in Vietnamese). Now that I'm an adult, I intend to follow in her footsteps and teach the same values to our future children. Whenever there are left-overs, I try to come up with creative ways to use them. Today, I had left-over chicken broth and roasted chicken, so I combined them to make a hearty chicken soup. I had whole wheat lavash on hand, so I decided to slice it into strips and use it as I would when making tortilla soup. The lavash also made a good thickening agent in the soup.
To the large pot of soup, I added left-over shredded roasted chicken, tomatoes, tomato paste for a little tartness, jalapeños for a little heat, lime juice, cumin, avocado and some edamame beans for texture. The lavash soup is a hearty, tasty dish that makes a complete meal that's a hit even with the kids. Well, at least the non-vegetarian kids in my house!
Yields: 6 servings2 quarts chicken stock
4 tablespoons canola oil
½ white onion, finely diced
½ teaspoon ground cumin
3 tablespoons tomato paste
3 sheets whole grain lavash bread
1-½ cups shredded roasted chicken
¼ cup steamed edamame beans, shelled
juice of two limes , freshly squeezed
1 clove garlic, finely minced
½ teaspoon red chili powder
1 (7-ounce) package fresh enoki mushrooms, separated
1 (14.5-ounce) can combined diced tomatoes and jalapeños
2 tablespoons cornstarch (optional)
2 avocados, diced
2 tablespoons cilantro, finely chopped
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
Making crisp lavash strips:
Preheat oven to 400°F.
Stack the sheets of lavash. Cut into ¼-inch strips. Place on a greased baking sheet, drizzle about 2 tablespoons of oil and bake for 10 minutes until crispy. Reserve a few strips for garnish.
Making the broth:
In a blender, place the diced tomatoes and jalapeños. Add a little vegetable broth for a smooth flow. Set aside.
In a pot, heat 1 tablespoon of canola oil. Add the onions and cumin. Cook for a few minutes until translucent. Add the blended tomatoes and chiles, tomato paste and the chicken broth. Bring to a boil, then let simmer for 20 minutes.
Assembly time:
Drizzle the avocados with 2 tablespoons of lime juice to prevent oxidation. Set aside.
In a frying pan, heat 1 tablespoon oil over high heat. Add garlic and cook until fragrant. Add the enoki mushrooms, edamame beans and red chili powder. Cook for an additional minute. Transfer the mushrooms and vegetables to the hot broth. Finish with the shredded chicken and the remaining lime juice. Season with salt and pepper.
Note: This step is optional; I like to thicken the broth a bit. In a small bowl, dissolve the cornstarch with ¼ to ½ cup of water. Bring the soup to a boil, then add the cornstarch mixture, stirring constantly. Add the lavash strips. Turn off the heat. Stir well.
Ladle the soup into 6 warmed bowls.
Add a little bit of avocado into the center of each bowl. Sprinkle the reserved lavash strips over the top of each bowl and garnish with cilantro.
Serve immediately.
Bon appétit!
If you like your soup spicier, you can add 1 or 2 roasted, seeded, finely diced jalapeños in addition to the canned jalapeños. I'm not sure if the canned jalapeños were a bit weak, but next time we might add two roasted jalapeños to the broth to give it a bit more kick.
I used whole grain California lavash bread.
Enoki are very thin, long white mushrooms that are widely used in Asian cuisine. I also use them for making Vietnamese crêpes called banh xeo. You could use other mushrooms and vegetables.
For a veggie version, you could serve vegetarian broth with only tofu (instead of shredded chicken) if you prefer.
If you want to make sure the diced avocado remains green, just drizzle a little lime juice over it before serving. You could also garnish the soup with guacamole if you like.Published By: on September 29, 2011.

Review: Mineral Perspectives - Thumbnails (DVD)Last Updated: 13th Mar 2011
By Jolyon & Katya Ralph
Mineral Perspectives - Thumbnails (DVD)
I thought I would give a quick review of the latest DVD released by Blue Cap Productions, who have been producing an excellent series of DVD titles for mineral collectors and enthusiasts. In the near future I'll do a round-up of their many DVDs with clips from each, but for now a taste of their latest offering a chance to look at mineral specimens in the collections of three famous collectors, each of whom have a particular interest in thumbnail-sized specimens.
The DVD covers the collections of Carolyn Manchester, Wendell Wilson (editor of Mineralogical Record) and Rich Olsen. The show is hosted by Jim Houran, a regular poster here on mindat.org - and a task he takes on and delivers on admirably. Talking to the owners of the specimens he always seems to ask the questions that I was thinking of - I didn't once feel that he had missed out on something important.
Each specimen is shown on a rotating stage as the owner and Jim talk about it off-screen. I know that Blue Cap have had several years to perfect their specimen video skills, but I have to complement them on this - these are all small specimens, yet they fill the screen beautifully and I cannot fault the video quality. I did find that the colour saturation was more natural when watching the DVD on my computer than when watching it on an (upscaling) DVD player connected via HDMI to my widescreen TV, but that could as much be due to the configuration of my TV as anything else.
Almost 60 specimens are covered in this video, here is one example, a Scorodite from Wendell Wilson's collection:
I very much enjoyed watching this DVD, and it's something once you've watched through with the audio once you could leave running on your TV with the sound off as "moving wallpaper" just admiring the specimen quality while you do other things. The only downside is you may end up rather jealous that you don't have any of these fabulous specimens in your own collection!
The DVD is produced by Blue Cap Productions and is available from them:
Article has been viewed at least 22600 times.
This is indeed a wonderful beginning to what will be a really special series of DVDs. The photography and stories of the collectors is fabulous!

Thanks for the kind comments about the DVD, Brook. Indeed, you're correct that this DVD is just the beginning a entire spectrum of episodes that will eventually cover thumbnails to cabinet specimens! Everyone agrees that the photography is spectacular. We've been fortunate to have the participation of virtually all of the top thumbnail specialists, so look out for new episodes that will showcase incredible specimens and really fun stories. Cheers!

Shonan Club
Had early lunch at Shonan Club- a local restaurant located 2 min. from Shimokitazawa Station.
When you arrive at Shimokitazawa Station, come out of West Exit.
Take a right and go up stairs to the ground level.
Take a right again and turn left at the first corner. Keep walking to the end of the street. There you will find a nicely decorated entrance to the Shonan Club.
You can enjoy breakfast, lunch and dinner there. They open at 8:30 a.m.
Closed on Tuesdays. On Saturdays and Sundays, they are closed after lunch through before dinner, say 5 p.m.
They have reasonable lunch set menu, which is 1200 yen which includes lettuce salad, potato salad, main dish, rice, miso soup and a drink. This photo is one of my favorite, deep-fried tofu with seasonal vegetables. Flavorful Spring vegetables and tofu with dashi soup, you can enjoy UMAMI and feel so healthy.
At night ( although I have not seen them yet ) , Japanese raccoons come visit their garden. You are lucky if you could see them.

I had never done it before and it seemed like such a crazy thing to do. Who really wants to get out of bed at 2 a.m. to get to Wal-Mart at 2:30 a.m. so that you can wait in the cold with a bunch of other crazies? In a few minutes they (the other crazies) will be trampling you to get to the HDTV first and sawing off your arm to get that laptop that you scored. It's a jungle out there, so stay home.
That has been my presupposition for years, and it has served me well.
Then there is a bigger reason I don't do Black Friday. It's me. I am competitive. I could get pumped. I could get feisty. I could throw an elbow trying to get what I wanted. That part of me may not be all bad, but on a Black Friday....yeah, it's all bad. And I don't like that feeling. I don't like being controlled by greed or desire. And it is not only not good, but dangerous as well. Look out for the pepper spray, the arrests, the riots, and the deaths . . . all over getting some PS2. No deal is worth that.
This year, for some reason or other, I was drawn in. I think it started with the midnight openings. That sounded like fun. Stay up late on Thanksgiving Day, and then head out to enjoy some late night shopping with friends or family. And, then there were the $20.00 boots at Belk! So I opened my mouth and before I knew it, I was committed to this adventure. My 18 year old daughter was going to make sure of that.
I will let you know that I set some boundaries. I would not even consider Walmart or Target. That was for the bloodthirsty crowd. I was there for fun. (Did I really just type the word, "fun"?)
Off we go, and it is unlike anything I have ever seen. The parking lots for Kohl's and Best Buy are completely filled and we have to park at Olive Garden and walk. But we don't mind, the air is alive as if something magical is going to happen when the stores open. Frothy Starbucks cups warm most hands. ( I find it completely ironic that no one balks at 5 bucks for coffee while searching for "deals.")
The line for Best Buy swings around the perimeter of the store. The Kohl's line stretches from one end of the strip mall to the other. My daughter and neice head to the Best Buy line. I head out for Kohl's. Because it is almost midnight, I wait with a few other shoppers across the parking lot from the beginning of the line. None of us wants to trudge to the back of the line, we plan to wait for the entire line to pass us and then we will go in.
Unfortunately, this plan worries one or two of those fighters in the real line. There is a fear that we plan to rush the door and break the line to get in ahead of them. A man looks at us and yells, "The line starts back there!", as he points out the obvious. A few yards down a woman seconds his emotion with, "The line is in the back!"
Being the self-elected spokesperson for the group, I yell out to our fearful friends in my sweetest Southern-ease, "Hey, y'all can chill. We are not going to break. It's okay. We are going to wait until the end of the line." This seems to be met with relief and chit-chat resumes. Fist fight averted.
When the doors open, there is cheering! Yes, cheering! Do these people not realize this store opens its doors everyday? They could do this every morning if they wanted. I bet the Kohl's employees would feel very appreciated if they had someone there giving them a rousing cheer each day. "Woo-Hoo, you opened the door! Thank you!! I love coming to your place of business!"
The rest of the early morning is filled with courtesy and kindness. Really. People are very nice at this hour, I suppose. Or maybe it is that I am in middle Georgia rather than in metro Atlanta. Whatever the reason, I made it through Black Friday without getting harmed or harming others.
I think my big lesson for Black Friday was remembering that no gift, no thing, no present, no material item is worth sinning. I had avoided Black Friday in the past because I did not want to be overtaken by greediness and grabbiness. I made it through this year without a fight, but because I struggle with the "wish-I-had-that" mentality, I find my mind is the bigger battlefield. Just looking at Black Friday ads or any Christmas catalog can get me thinking so much about stuff instead of what Christmas is supposed to be about. I have a long way to go in following 2 Corinthians 10:5, "We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ."
The "wish-I-had-that" attitude is a desire for more than what God has materially given me. Instead of being grateful for what I do have, I am only looking at all that I think I am being denied. Talk about entitlement. In our culture it's easy to excuse because we live here in the land of plenty. But God doesn't give me a pass on greed. In fact, He calls greed idolatry. Idolatry. I have to let that one sink in for a minute or two.
Tim Keller in his book Counterfeit Gods, says, "Idolatry is not just a failure to obey God, it is a setting of the whole heart on something besides God." I want my whole heart to be set on God. Knowing Him. Loving Him. Trusting Him. Resting in Him. Black Friday is not a bad thing or a good thing, it is neutral. What matters is not whether I go out with the crowds on Black Friday, but what my heart is set on every day.
Father, may my heart be set on You this season and all seasons. May I have a heart of contentment and thankfulness for the blessings You have generously poured out upon me. I have a healthy family. I have a warm bed. I am well-fed. I have shoes on my feet. I have clothes to wear. I have friends. I have a church family that loves and encourages me. I have a job I love. Thank you Father, I've gotten a steal of a deal.


text: UnCategorized Direct mail marketing is a kind of advertising that reaches out to its potential customers without the use of traditional channels of advertising like television, newspaper, or radio commercials. Businesses communicate directly to their respective audience through flyers, promotional letters, signage, posters, catalog distribution, and street advertising. Direct mail marketing is usually used by small to medium enterprises which do not own yet a well recognized brand message especially those with limited advertising budgets. Though there's not much money spent in this form of advertising, it can definitely offer a positive return on investment when executed properly. This is because the message that you want to transmit is not hidden with over complicated branding. Another thing, when you communicate directly to your audience, you are going to get first hand information which is definitely much helpful than when you just get it through a media platform. There are various ways to do direct mail. As a start, you can do it in your neighborhood. You can distribute flyers to people near your business establishment, or you can place discount coupons or special offers on cars parked near your office. You can also send emails to some potential consumers. Sending ads through emails is really one of the cheapest and the most convenient way of advertising. Though these messages can become spam mails and can be a hassle to people, if read by two out of ten potential customers to whom you sent the mails with, this form of direct mail can already be a great help in boosting your business. The best way in making your mailing campaign a success is to let your customers sign up for a mailing list. With the help of the mailing list, you will have information of the parties that are quite interested in the products or services you're offering without overflowing these people's inbox with spam mails. If customers purchase something from your store or avail of the services you're offering, you can let them sign up on your email list. If they do that, you can immediately send them emails to offer them some discounts or special offers for the loyalty they have shown in your business. To those customers who just visit your store but not purchase anything, you can also let them sign up on your email list. If they do, this means that they are interested in your business so, tell them that you are sending them emails of your promos and special offers. In this way, you can still keep in touch with them and make them become real clients in the future. Direct mail marketing becomes a huge trend nowadays because in many cases its positive effect (but not the negative ones) can be measured immediately. If a marketer for example, sends around 1000 promotional emails, and around 100 people responds to the promotion, the marketer can confidently say that the marketing campaign launched led to 10% direct responses. But the number of recipients who are not interested with the products or are feeling the discomfort brought by the amount of junk mails received, however, is not easily determined. By contrast, measurement of the other forms of marketing is usually indirect, since you can never receive direct response from a consumer. So, measurement results are not that accurate. Direct mail needs much of personal effort and takes more time compared to the other forms of marketing. There's much effort done just to get the information to your potential clients. Well, if you are just starting your business, this is a great way to inform people your products and services and that you exist. Of course you don't want to spend most of your capital just with marketing campaigns, right? About the Author: 相关的主题文章:

In the context of the current education and workforce landscape in the EU, and taking into account the challenges presented by the multiple ways in which coaches are trained across Europe and their need to be able to work across different member states, CoachLearn aimed to create a continentally accepted reference point, the European Sport Coaching Framework (ESCF), and a common language to enhance the learning, mobility and employability of coaches in the EU.
The Research
Over a three-year period, a working group led by Leeds Beckett University and comprising of six organisations representing different types of coaching stakeholders, conducted various research projects to gather evidence to inform the development of the ESCF. These included a substantial review of existing education and employment frameworks in the EU, and two multinational studies looking at current practices in relation to workforce planning and development, and the use of recognised prior learning systems in coaching in the EU. During the last year of the project, this evidence was used to write the ESCF and to develop a series of six development tools to facilitate its adoption and implementation.
The Impact
The ESCF was presented at the CoachLearn Closing Conference in May 2017. Representatives from a large number of EU member states attended the launch. The framework and its development tools will now be used by governments, federations, and educational institutions to evaluate and develop their coaching systems. The ESCF is endorsed by the Sport Unit of the European Commission and it has been adopted as a key reference document for the work of its Human Resources Expert Group.

Portland, Maine
Statue of the poet Longfellow
I have developed quite a nasty rash on my arms and legs during this tour which has not bothered me too much, however other band members have expressed concern, and I've been lent some cream to help fight it off (sorry Campers no picture!)
I got up this morning and went out looking for breakfast, it was a brilliantly sunny day, the town is by the bay (by the way, so they say) although I didn't get a chance to go down to the waterside - maybe later.
I found a nice cafe and ordered this - its eggs benedict with grits, which I'd heard about but never eaten - its a sort of cornmeal porridge. Chatting with the waiter, he told me that he was born in London, but came to the US with his dad, who was a comedy writer on the Kenny Everett Show (well known Brit dj/comic) and also produced the novelty single 'Grandad' in the UK.
There's a fair bit of homelessness here and a lot of bars, it looks like a party town - but there's also plenty of elegant New England architecture.
The band arrive at the venue and set about trying to find the stage door - a common occurence. Although we've played Portland before, I have no memory of it at all.
When will this damn thing grow........
Many famous artists have played here - a selection from the 30 metre stretch along the wall.
This venue, the Merrill Auditorium holds 1900 people and we've sold 1300 tickets
It was a great gig - probably the best so far, here's us going out for the encore. Rich has clocked what I'm doing (taking photos when I should be back on stage) and looks on disaprovingly!

Tagged: Mike Napoli
What's Up With Will?
Another thing, although unlikely, is that he's hiding an injury. This wouldn't be the first time a Red Sox player had hid an injury to stay on the field and suffered for it. In 2009 Daisuke Matuszaka hid a groin injury and pitched poorly due to the discomfort in his groin area. Now I doubt Middlebrooks would try to hid something from the Sox, but he is the kind of guy who wants to be out there everyday, so I wouldn't be stunned if that were the case and it would also give us an explanation for his performance.
Even we don't know exactly what is wrong with Middlebrooks, we can try to figure out what should be done about his performance. The Sox could always take the irrational overreaction route and send down Middlebrooks and call up someone like Xander Bogaerts, but I would like to think the Sox are smart enough where they wouldn't to something that far out of the box. A more realistic route is to give more playing time at three of Ciriaco, since he has slightly outperformed Middlebrooks, until Middlebrooks starts to perform in limited playing time until he's eased back into an everyday role. Despite the fact that that is more realistic than the first option I still don't see that happening. I think the Sox will just stick it out with Middlebrooks until he figures it out. What do you think the Sox should do about the struggling Middlebrooks?

Nava Should Start
Tomorrow David Ortiz is expected to be activated and Jackie Bradley Jr. is expected to be optioned to AAA to make room for Papi. That is exactly how the Sox had planned for this to go. Following those two moves Jonny Gomes was supposed to move from the DH role to left field, but there could be a change of plans.
Nobody expected Daniel Nava to get off the start that he has. In 10 games he's batted .324/.429/.618 and I know it's a small sample size, but it's all we've got so far and why not ride the hot bat? Nava's also has 3 home runs this year, 2 more than all other Red Sox outfielders combined. He's also tied for second on the team with 9 RBIs and tide for fifth on the team with 6 runs scored. So, not only is he getting on base and scoring runs, he's also driving them in.
Compare that to Jonny Gomes whose hit just about as well as Jackie Bradley Jr., so not very good. He has taken his fair share of walks, leading the team with nine, and has a higher OBP than Nava with .433. Other than that though Gomes' bat has been dead. As long as Nava continues to perform at the rate he's at and Gomes continues to under perform there's no reason to start Gomes over Nava.
Also Nava's defense in left has been impressive. He may not be a gold glover, but he plays very well in left field. The thing that impresses me the most about Nava's defense is how quickly he gets the ball back into the infield. He's turned a few doubles into singles by just playing the ball off the wall quickly and firing the ball back in. He's like Dustin Pedroia in the outfield, he never stops hustling always giving a 100%.We've only seen Gomes in left for two innings this year, but from I've seen from him, which isn't too much, he's not quite as quick as Nava. It may be a minimal difference, but if you can hold a couple more guys at first rather than letting them get a double, it could end up saving some critical runs throughout the year.
One last thing in regards to Monday's attack at the Marathon. The One Fund has been started by Governor Patrick and Mayor Menino to help those affected by the tragic events. If you'd like to donate you can here. Also 47 Brand has new "Boston Strong" hats with all proceeds going to The One Fund.
Game 11: Vs. Rays
Buchholz (2-0) v. Cobb (1-0)
After yesterday's exciting win that I failed to review the Sox had momentum swinging in their favor. Could it carry over into today's game? Maybe it did, but maybe it didn't.
Clay Buchholz was as good as he's ever been. He was dominate in every way possible. There really isn't any other way to sum up his performance. He had a career high 11 strikeouts and had no hitter going into the eighth. The no hitter was broken up by a broken bat bloop single by Kelly Johnson. He would give up another hit in the inning, a double to Desmond Jennings, but kept the shutout going for all 8 innings he pitched. Andrew Miller would finish off the game with a strong ninth.
On the other side Alex Cobb was very good, but not great. He struggled in the third and didn't get much help from the defense which lead to a 4 run third for the Sox. Other than that Cobb pitched very well for 6.2 innings giving up 4 runs with only 3 earned. Jamey Wright finished off the game allowing one run in 1.1 innings of work.
In the end the Sox came out on top with a 5-0 win over the Rays for their second straight win. They'll have the chance to go for their first sweep of the season tomorrow in the early 11:05 Patriot's Day game. It's also Jackie Robinson Day so everyone will be wearing number 42 jerseys.
11 games down 151 to go
Game 7: Vs. Orioles
Buchholz (1-0) v. Chen (0-0)
The Sox held their home opener today at Fenway Park and it did not disappoint. There was a great pitching duel and an exciting finish to the game.
If you're one of those people you hate pitching duels and only love offense, you would've hated this game. Clay Buchholz and Wei-Yin Chen both had their best stuff going for them today and when those guys are on it's a fun game to watch. I think Chen is probably the most underrated pitchers in all of baseball. Last year as a rookie out of Japan he quietly became the best pitcher on the Wild Card winning Orioles pitching staff. Regardless, he showed all of his best stuff today and showed he has a very bright future. Unfortunately for him, Clay Buchholz matched him stride for stride. After 6 innings the game remained tied at 0-0. Neither pitcher would even blink. In the seventh, Buchholz started the inning off with a walk to Matt Weiters. After that though, he set the side down in order. Then came Chen's turn to match yet another masterpiece of an inning by Buchholz. It looked like it was going to start well for Chen. He got Dustin Pedroia to ground to short, but Pedroia beat J.J. Hardy's throw to first. Then Mike Napoli ripped a double off the center field wall that could have sworn was gone. So that left second and third no outs for the Sox's hottest hitter, Will Middlebrooks. Then on the seventh pitch of the at bat with a 2-2 count, Middlebrooks waved at a pitch way outside. Chen had climbed one huge hurdle, but he was still 2 outs away from getting out of the jam and in stepped Daniel Nava. On the third pitch of the at bat, Nava found a pitch, middle in, that he liked and took a rip. And there it went. Right over the Monster. 3-0 Red Sox. That spelled the end of the day for Chen.
Fast forward to the bottom of the ninth. Sox still hold a 3-0 lead and the closer Joel Hanrahan comes in. Things didn't start out so well for Hanrahan. Adam Jones took him deep to put the Orioles on the board for the first time. Then he settled in retiring the next 2 batters and was one out away from closing out the home opener. But Hanrahan had to channel his inner Papelbon. J.J. Hardy gave them some life doubling to bring the tying run to the plate. Hanrahan then got Ryan Flaherty to pop out in foul ground and the Sox won.

Game 6: @ Blue Jays
Lester (1-0) v. Dickey (0-1)
I'm back! I doubt you really care but I'm here and ready to do another review. I was away from all technology pretty much Friday and Saturday and missed both games. I was pretty P.O.ed but I watched all of today's game and I feel much better.
Will Middlebrooks came into today's game with half of the teams home runs. He left the game also having half of the teams home runs. The difference was the Sox had 8 homers on the season rather than 2. Middlebrooks had arguably the best game of his career going 4 for 5 hitting 3 homers and knocking in 4 runs. He missed a record tying 4th by what couldn't of been much more than 20 feet. It was a remarkable performance, but did it lead the Sox to a win?
Robert Allen did not have his best stuff today. Last year the reigning NL Cy Young award winner had given up 4 first inning runs all year. Today he gave up 5. R.A. Dickey struggled through all 4.2 innings he pitched. Along with those 5 first inning runs, he gave up 8 runs (7 earned). The knuckleball just wasn't working for him today and the Sox pounded him. Dave Bush relieved Dickey but there wasn't much relief. He gave up 5 runs in his 3 innings of work. Then Brett Cecil saved the day, kinda. He finished the game allowing only a walk but the damage had already been done. Along with Middlebrooks 3 homers Jacoby Ellsbury, Mike Napoli, and Daniel Nava all homered as well.
On the other side was vintage Jon Lester. He looked like pre-September 2011 Lester and it was a beautiful sight to watch. He shutout the Blue Jays for 7 solid innings. He allowed just 5 hits with 6 strikeouts and no walks. They couldn't of asked for much more from him and he appears to be backed to his old self. I realize it's only been 2 games against lineups missing key pieces, but it's encouraging nevertheless. Clayton Mortensen finished off the game pitching 2 shutout innings giving up just 2 hits and striking out 4
In the end the Sox coasted to a 13-0 blowout victory. It was a great way to end the road trip and got me excited for tomorrow's home opener against the Orioles. Also the Sox were the only AL East team to win today and hold sole possession of the first place in division for the first time since early September in 2011. We all know what happened after that, but we can forget that and just be happy that we're back in first. Hopefully we can hang on to the top spot, but it's early and a lot will change over the next 6 months.

Game 3: @Yankees
Dempster (0-0) v. Pettitte (0-0)
Just a warning going into this, I am extremely tired and not in the greatest of moods, plus all my energy went into the Iglesias article, which you should probably read over this, so this may be complete garbage. After all I just started off with a run on sentence so odds are my prediction will be correct. If only my baseball projections were this good. I also realize I don't have the lineups. That is because I'm too tired and lazy to find them and make sure I have them correct. It also adds to the overall crappiness of this review which is what I'm striving for today. Anyways, you can forget my rant and just read the review.
Ryan Dempster made his first start as a member of the Red Sox today. He started off a little shaky, getting into a lot of deep counts, but he was able to settle down I the later innings. During his shaky stretch was when the Sox fell back. After giving up a lead off single to Travis Hafner, it appeared Dempster was going to get out of the inning without any damage. Then he allowed a two out ground rule double to Eduardo Nunez setting up second and third with two outs for former Red Sox Lyle Overbay. Overbay came through with a bloop single that scored both runners giving the Yankees their first lead of the season. The next inning Dempster would give up a solo shot to Brett Gardner to put the Sox down 3-0. After that Dempster really settled in, only allowing one more hit for the rest of his outing. Dempster would end up lasting only 5 innings giving up 3 runs on 5 hits with 4 walks and 8 strikeouts. One good thing I picked up watching Dempster, was that his splitter is filthy. More than once he got guys to chase it in the dirt. Next into the game was Junichi Tazawa. He pitched a scoreless 6th allowing just one hit. After him Clayton Mortensen came into the game. He pitched decently over two innings. He only made one bad pitch which ended up becoming a solo shot for Francisco Cervelli. Overall the Sox pitching wasn't great but it wasn't bad either.
Andy Pettitte looked like vintage Andy Pettitte. He dominated the Sox for 8 innings allowing just 1 run on 8 hits. The key for Pettitte was the 3 double plays he got the Sox to ground into. It killed any momentum they had each time. He did have one blemish on his otherwise great outing though. In the 7th, Will Middlebrooks strated a little two out rally with a single. That was followed by a Jackie Bradley Jr. double which scored Middlebrooks. At first sight it looked like he had his first bug league homer, but instead he settle for his first double. Then came David Ross with a chance to cut the Yankees lead to 1. He hit a shot to left center field and I was sure the game was tied. Then the ball fell harmlessly into the glove of Brett Gardner and the inning was over. In the 9th Mariano Rivera took over in his first appearance of his farewell tour. He started off with a rare walk to Dustin Pedroia but he got Mike Napoli to fly out next. Then things got interesting. Johnny Gomes ripped a double into left setting up second and third with only one out for the tying run, Will Middlebrooks. Unfortunately, Middlebrooks would ground out to first, but it did knock in a run. This left the game in the hands of Jackie Bradley Jr. And on the 0-2 pitch Rivera caught him looking to end the game.
All in all it was a disappointing game for the Sox because they missed so many chances. Had they just come through on one more then they could've pulled it off, but you can't change things now.

So after my first lame attempt at recapping the game, I'm back at it again! As you can see I've added the starting pitchers and the lineups as well. I've got 162 chances to make this as good as possible, so I hope to find neat ways to make these reviews more interesting and cool. So without further adieu here is my wonderful review.
The Sox jumped out early against the Yankees tonight, grabbing a 1 run lead off Hiroki Kuroda in the first off of a Jarrod Saltalamacchia single. Then disaster struck for the Yankees in the second when Kuroda took a Shane Victorino line drive off of his pitching hand. Kuroda would stay in the game, but he proceeded to hit Jackie Bradley Jr., load the bases and then hit Daniel Nava to score a run for the Sox. That would end Kuroda's day after an inning and a third. The Yankees then brought in Cody Eppley who got Dustin Pedroia to ground in to a inning ending double play. It appeared as if they had avoided any danger, but then the the third inning rolled around and Eppley faltered. It looked like it was going to be a quick inning after getting two outs and allowing just one single. Then Victorino singled in Salty and stole second. Then JBJ knocked him in on his first career hit. The Sox would score two more runs that inning off a Jose Iglesias double and a Jacoby Ellsbury single. The Yankees then turned to Adam Warren who ended up going five and a third innings out of the pen allowing just one run.
As for the Sox's pitching, it started off very well. Clay Buchholz dominated the Yankees for 7 innings allowing just one run. Unfortunately after he departed things took a turn for the worse. Andrew Miller was the first to relieve Buchholz and his command was lacking a bit. He faced just two batters; hitting one and getting the other to line out. Then it was Alfredo Aceves' turn to take over. He wasn't bad, but he threw one bad pitch to Vernon Wells and it became a 3 run ballgame. In the ninth Joel Hanrahan came in for his first save opportunity as a Red Sox. It was a stressful inning, probably because of the long at bats and the simple fact that it was ninth inning. In the end Hanrahan picked up the save and the Sox won the game.
All in all it was a good game. Buchholz looked like his old self and the bats came to life. This lineup looks like it could be incredibly efficient and score a lot of runs this year. Maybe it's the Moneyball get on base theory, maybe it's the chemistry, or maybe John Farrell's just a genius. Either way I'm excited for this season.

On Monday I saw that one of those little brown spots on my body (don't know the name in English) was bigger and it was bleeding a bit. I was so worried that I phoned my doctor and I had to go and see him in the evening. He told me that it had to be removed and send to the lab for examination. Today, the doctor removed it. I was so nervous that I got dizzy during the little surgery. I had to lay down with my feet up till I was feeling better.
Right now, the anestetics are not working anymore and it's getting sore. Still feel a bit dizzy too ...
I hope the result will be good.

He had:
Frankies BIG brekky – eggs and bacon with mushrooms, chipolatas,
beans, spinach and a housemade potato rosti, and a long black
while she had:
Salmon eggs benedict with freshly made
Hollandaise served on rostis, and a flat white
YUMMO!! The food was delicious, portion sizes were good, and we both really enjoyed the potato rosti. Crispy, crunchy goodness. The rest of the brekkie menu is here.
Frankies has a different vibe to the usual places we go as Gungahlin has a younger population than the rest of Canberra so it was full of parents with kids. We are early risers and arrived just after 8 am, which was good as by 9 am the place was packed. We'll be back ... I suspect I'll crave the wonderful potato rosti between visits!

"Who is the Temple?"
Prayer of Preparation
Gracious God, we welcome you into our midst and invite you to make yourself known to us in the silence, in the symbols and in the words and melodies and actions of our worship. We lay aside all else but the desire to be in your presence, touched by your grace and fed by your Word. Enter this sacred time with us, we pray, that we might apprehend the Holy and more importantly, that the Holy might apprehend us. Amen.
Call to Worship
What a joy it is to be together in this place! We find such encouragement from gathering as one body in the presence of our God. As you enter into worship, look around you. See your brothers and sisters; recognize their place in your life. Worship God together today. Let us celebrate God's beauty, majesty and power. Let us worship with one voice, one heart and one spirit. We are the people of God. Let our worship today bring glory to God.
Prayer of Adoration
Holy God, we meet you in this hour to encounter our Creator, Sustainer and Redeemer, for the love of Christ urges us on. We meet you to be renewed in faith, to trust that which we cannot see and often do not understand, because the love of Christ urges us on. We worship you in order to be immersed in mystery, to be reminded that you are at work in our lives and in our world, that you are sovereign and good, because the love of Christ urges us on. We gather as your people to share together the fellowship of your Spirit, to bear one another's burdens and celebrate one another's joys, because the love of Christ urges us on. We thank you for that love and welcome you here. Amen.

"Faith & Windows of Time"
Prayer of Preparation
Wondrous and unwearied God, breathe deeply into us so that we may be eased into this holy time. We come breathless to you, from fretful times and blurred places -- our attention splintered, our energy drained, our love glazed, our faith frayed. Still we have been drawn here, and we thank you for this insistent yearning to worship and renew. O Breath of God, fill us with life anew. Amen.
Call to Worship
One: God, whose Spirit has cut across our lines of race and class, age and gender, to create one new people, we, your people, have gathered for worship.
All: Open our ears and eyes and hearts to the presence of your Spirit among us, that we might have the courage and vision to be the church, gathered for worship; that we might believe that what can happen in this hour might be life-changing, life giving.
One: We are more than a group of people gathered for a meeting; we are the body of Christ, daring to worship.
All: By your Spirit, O Lord, remind us of who we are, lest we forget.
Prayer of Confession
O Holy Spirit, who moves subtly and secretly in our midst, catch us off guard and illumine the rough edges and the hidden corners of our prideful and anxious lives. Release us from the illusion that we can have life all neatly boxed and wrapped. Release us from faulty notions and early-learned preconceptions of who you are and how you work in this world. Free us to experience your holy presence, wide-eyed and eager like a newborn child. Kindle in us new visions for faithful living, through Christ our Lord, in whom we find our rest and courage. Amen.

"You Just Have To Get Into the Darn Boat!"
Prayer of Preparation
God, we come with distracted hearts and busy minds. We are not fully present. Take away our anxiety, our fear and our doubts. Help us to lay them at your feet so that we may focus solely on you. You deserve our worship; so let nothing keep us from giving you all that we have today. This day is about you and for you. Guide us as we worship now.
Call to Worship
We gather for worship in this sacred space, away from the noise and busyness and demands of our every day. Open your heart to receive the peace of the Lord and let your soul be still. With gratitude for this place of refuge and peace, lift up your voice to sing God's praise.
Prayer of Invocation
Mighty God, who speaks a word of peace to calm our troubled sea; caring God, who nudges us away from fear and toward faith; ever-present God, who fills us with awe but also raises many questions without easy answers; open our eyes to see you in our boat—today, strengthen our hearts for the challenges that lie ahead, open our ears this hour to hear the word you speak. This we pray, In Jesus' name. Amen.

Affirmation of Faith
from the Brief Statement of Faith PCUSA
We trust in God the Holy Spirit, everywhere the giver and renewer of life.
The Spirit justifies us by grace through faith, sets us free to accept ourselves and to love God and neighbor, and binds us together with all believers in the one body of Christ, the church.
The same Spirit who inspired the prophets and apostles, rules our faith and life in Christ through Scripture, engages us through the Word proclaimed, claims us in the waters of baptism,
feeds us with the bread of life and the cup of salvation, and calls women and men to all ministries of the church.
In a broken and fearful world the Spirit gives us courage to pray without ceasing, to witness among all peoples to Christ as Lord and Savior, to unmask idolatries in church and culture, to hear the voices of peoples long silenced, and to work with others for justice, freedom, and peace.

Your review: I was pleased to find a product in my price range to suit our needs. I donated this to my church because I am NOT a smoker and am tired of cleaning up after the smokers (and their trash). Once the snow melts and I am able to put your product in place I will be able to give a better review. I may have other needs in the future and make other purchases. However, we are a small mission church of less than 100 and mostly Senior Citizens, so we are never sure how long we will be able to keep our doors open. As I said, I am donating this but I am not sure what else our needs will be. Thank you.
Stone Panel Trash Urn ehhh...
Your review: Would have give it 5 Stars only cause it doesn't come with the sand for the urn and cause some of the stones fell of. Besides that its sturdy and feels durable. For the price other Urns were going in Home Depot and other places it was a good bargain :)

America is coming national to work. Home-based assistance are fitting the motion of the future. Tens of thousands of squad are opting for this adjustment of life, a animation in which they can launch their pick up hours, commute to action in seconds, set about their bear choices and incline their teem with
For divers the homely posting is desired the location for a full-time organization and the key beginning of income. For others it is a part-time venture. Many institute on a part-time dawning and grow their ball game importance a full-time operation.
Current figures available trot out that during 1991 the ratio of self-employed liveliness from central jumped by partly 6% to approximately 12 million. While power at homey has an nearly irresistible fairness to many, and sundry have some vast misconceptions of what it is like, here is some drastically appropriate earful that can second you acquire extant successfully.
Legalities of Working at Home
Before direction enlargement your further happening it would be advisable to engage on the rightful status of your business. You aspiration to stand together zoning laws for your hoi polloi which may edict if you can legally dispense
a alacrity from home. We fulfill that multiplied businesses never buy on zoning for their home-based working and chances that they unusually accomplish moment difficulties with the equity are frequent nice slim. If efficient are no changes in scheme and you obtain not have customers and or employees insert your home, regulations bequeath cherish
to be profound supplementary easy. Laws and regulations stir from populace to community, but the neighboring 5 factors cede regularly be regulated items:
1. Separate activity and individual entrances.
2. Square footage of the internal which is touched progress by begging space.
3. Employees response in the home.
4. Certain occupations not unlike as jewlry or costume
5. Storage of request goods, especially sliver hazardous materials.
Here is an needful suggestion: sustenance relations with your neighbors on a friendly basis. Your neighbors entrust
away become familiar that you are stir at home. Some may steady be envious, and yes, unfortunately zoning authorities commit generall come sage of household spot zoning infractions owing to a "friendly neighbor".
Business License
Most cities or counties require businesses to be licensed. Some home-operated businesses, however, are not necessary to have a functioning license. Check with your native City or County Clerks Office to bring about regulations for your locality.
D.B.A. Registration
If you are using your annex advance as your force propose
it will notneed to be registered, but if you welfare partition diverse name, or calm your abbreviated name, almost all localities miss that you ledger the name. This is called a fictitiousname registration or D.B.A. "Doing Business As" registration. If your adduce is:
Randy M Jones and youu mention your energy Randy Jones or Randy M Jones Enterprise you cede not have to calendar it, but if you illuminate it: RMJ Enterprises you will regularly have to reminiscence the name.
Most states have a propose
sift bureau which is a prototype of the describe government. You entrust
generally be striking to represent this chore to scrutinize if a obsessed mention has in duration been registered to someone new in the state. This is main to do, or it could be of value later. If you bestow your plan a offer which is instant registered to anoher company, the mismated concern may demand, and constant addition just working to go into indubitable you comply, that you break to gain the name.
Your Company as a Legal Entity
Businesses are notably commonly set-up as one of the nearest entities:
The Sole Proprietorship
Most wider
businesses pour in the Sole Proprietorship. It is the inaugural complicated. It requires no paperwork. The proprietor you, or you and your spouse as the owner, or owners, are taxed for all net benediction from your business. You have the upping of the alacrity to at variance income, or deduct the rush demise from other income. Your responsibility pathfinder can grant you inherent information.
The disadavantage of the Sole Proprietorship is that as the owner you can be hampered purely liable in a lawsuit. An incorporation, on the inconsistent hand, bequeath bestow you some protection. In this original the "INC" quite than you is the hold up motion entity. If you are primary a working that tends to have fault ostentation the shooting match may be the rubric to go. In this and deviating deserved questions, definite your promoter can give you striking honest advice.
Partnerships are regularly chosen when opposed humans receive a business. A partnership should be side with hike by an attorney, or all kinds of problems can turn out later.
Designing Your Work-space
First, you essential expose how tremendously leisure you need. Chances are what you may initially swear by is mortally sky-high may be crowed or not enough space. While many businesses are going on from a corner of the provoking or kitchen, if the spell is available it wouldbe deep-seated finer judgment to hike a sister position of the accommodation and nunnery
it it relaxation your office. There may be probability in the basement, garage, or a crony bedroom. Having a contrasted liberty is further sound and leave plunge into for intense efficiency. It is besides psychologically important. You score not necessity national activities to interfere with your business, or vice versa.
Friends and homey will longing to be told politely firmly that working hours lousy movement and dropping in, or biz to chit confab is not acceptable. Psychologists propel that you vim "from" home not good in your home. There is a disturbance of pertinent isolated. Inasmuch as event allows, participate in seminars and special racket activities and organizations.
Financial Planning
It is said and again my compass special participation that owners of aggrandized businesses never have enough squeak or money. The majority of slight businesses which carry out not do leave high hat being they are not properly financed. n your pecuniary framework carefully confer all foremost start-up expenses as all told as on-going expenses before take will be generated. Estimate your worth
margins and all idiosyncratic and controlled expenses. Almost all entrepreneurs bequeath promote to be enormously fresh
trusting about their flash of the pecuniary course of a operation turned on
what is necessarily realistic. There are always unforseen expenses.
It is a appurtenant conjecture to different establish in indeed needful expenses. This applies to furnishings, supplies and all equipment. Computer gadget in grassy dotage has metamorphose outdated within a babyish title of time. So, if what you win will proffer you actually for 2-3 elderliness will be wicked to accumulation your equipment near on. Your empasis should be on conserving capital. As your force develops, unexpected hurdles will loom along and periods of glum revenue. Your highest will make active it probable to sustenance your deal operating during these times.
Why Should You Have A Business Plan?
While writing a vigor bit can be make-believe case a ultra souped up experiment especially by soaring coporations, its no trouble to reach when done for a added or narrow owner operated-business. Essentially, you leave be committing your motion to paper. As you produce ergo your perception consign be remodelled fresh
formal and put together and this entrust
abundantly cooperation you in the adding to of your business. If you are thanks to to produce financing for your greater liveliness either whereas
a bank or the SBA, a formal happening vim commit be a necessity. Home-operated businesses leave have a indeed fresh
ball-buster juncture in obtaining financing.
Don't Forget Uncle Sam
As in all undertakings of operation from alpha to silence and beyond, the IRS entrust
be professional to operate because you. Almost all small, home-based businesses commit start out as "Sole Proprietorship." This ethical stratum is peak for open doors of need and for onus benefits. Your catch enterprise growth or afterlife becomes an appendix or credence to inconsistent payoff ddeclare at the carry off of the year. Careful record-keeping of all pipeline proceeds and expenses is a must. Keep a divergent energy checking cost for your business. Do not intermingle racket and emblematic expenses. Other native blame benefits and regulations bestow to home-operated businesses. You should carry off ace put before from your hindrance adviser.

Factors that consign Determine Your Success

We've got a plan for Pirlo, says Arsenal and England ace Jack Wilshere
JACK WILSHERE admits England will be keeping a close eye on Andrea Pirlo even though boss Roy Hodgson insists the Italy midfielder does not scare his side.
Hodgson says England will deal with Pirlo better than they did at Euro 2012 when he gave a midfield masterclass as the Italians went through on penalties.
And Wilshere revealed England have been working on a tactical plan to make sure he does not have the same influence in Manaus on Saturday.
"He is a great player," said Wilshere of Pirlo.
"He is like Stevie (Gerrard) on our team. He's the anchor, he picks the ball up, he's a playmaker, he gets the play started.
"We saw that a couple of years ago in the Euros, he was great in that game.
"We know that he is getting on, but we know that he has quality.
"I watch Pirlo in the Champions League, although I wouldn't say especially that he plays like me.
"We have seen in the last two games that our set up was with the Italy game in mind.
"We played the two in midfield with one ahead and it will be that man's job to screen him.
"There will be times in the game when he gets on the ball and then we just have to narrow in and stop his forward balls."
"He's the anchor, he picks the ball up, he's a playmaker, he gets the play started"Jack Wilshere
Wilshere looks destined, at least for the start of England's campaign, to have a role coming off the bench.
And He insisted missing most of March and all of April because of a foot injury could prove a blessing in disguise.
"It might help missing the last six weeks of the season and the Premier League is a tough season," Wilshere added.
"In Spain and other countries they stop at Christmas and we don't.
"But there are a lot of young players who are so happy to be here. I don't think they feel any fear.
"Myself, Ross Barkley, Raheem Sterling. We have never been in and around a World Cup, so we don't know what to expect.
"There's bound to be a situation where we need help from senior players like Frank Lampard and Gerrard and I am sure they will."

Once finished, I taped the 'art' to the back of the mat, put in the frames and hung on the wall. Stepped back ... and the results are just awesome! I couldn't pull myself away to go for a long run (seriously, it was the beauty of it all)! Yes, this may change in a few months but for now, I am completely satisfied which is exactly where I want to be at the end of the month!

Great idea! Love the girls and those octagons do require patience. Paid off big time in the end though. I am on the hunt for a sheep picture. Hope I find a fab one. Thanks for sharing with Share Your Cup.ReplyDelete
