Crafty Secrets DT Sewing Challenge!
Good morning! Today the Crafty Secret's DT has a challenge for you! Use sewing or sewing inspired images on your project! I chose this cute little gal from the, Thinking of You set. I colored her with my Copics and paper pieced the table. The papers are by Cosmo Cricket and Papertrey Ink. I used Spellbinder's Labels 16 and Classic Scalloped Squares, to cut the image and matte behind it. I like to hand stitch my cards a lot. Maybe because I don't have as much control with a sewing machine. (I think I am sewing machine challenged!) So hand stitching gives me more control and accuracy. I use several piercing templates to pierce where I want to stitch and then use a running stitch. It takes a bit of time, but it is so worth it! The stitches come out so even and straight!
I colored the cat twice and cut out the second image. He was placed on pop dots for extra dimension.

Everybody knows the phrase "sitting on the couch eating bon bons", but ask most people what a bon bon is, and they'd be hard-pressed to tell you.
The name bon bons stems from the French word "bon", which means "good". Think: Bon Voyage (have a good trip/voyage), Bon Appétit (have a good meal/appetite). Put a "bon" and a "bon" together and you've got something doubly good - a goody goody! We couldn't agree more.
Perhaps the confusion about what a bon bon actually is comes from the fact that the gourmet chocolate bon bons term "bon bon" is a universal word for "candy" in French, as well as many other languages like Dutch, German, Hungarian, and Turkish. In the United States kids bugs their parents by saying: "Can I have some candy? I want some candy!"; in France, children say: "Je veux un bon bon!"
Thus, you can find all different types of candies labeled as "bon bons". They include: hard candy, lollipops, chocolates, sweetmeats, taffy, sugarplums, sugar-coated almonds, fruit-flavored candies, and chocolate-covered confections.
Here at South 'n France, we've established a way to easily explain how to differentiate bon bons from other sweets. Chocolate-covered bon bons are most often confused with truffles. But truffles are a chocolate-based confection, usually made by starting with a chocolate ganache base (which is later rolled in cocoa powder, sugars, finely chopped nuts, coconut, etc.). The other major truffle category consists of a chocolate shell that is formed and later filled with a praline or liquor filling.
Bon bons, on the other hand, are not chocolates to begin with; they are sweet confections that can stand alone, but instead get dipped in chocolate at the very end of the candy making process. This creates a thin layer of chocolate around the candy instead of the thicker shell commonly associated with truffles (i.e. bon have less chocolate and more filling; truffles have more chocolate and less filling.)
Americans often associate bon bons with the fictional stereotype of the idle housewife gourmet chocolate bon bons depicted in pop culture (think Lucy Ricardo or Peg Bundy). Often, the bon bon used to portray this stereotype is a frozen vanilla ice cream dipped in chocolate. This certainly fits the definition of a bon bon: a sweet confection (ice cream) that can stand alone, but is rolled into a bite-sized ball and dipped in chocolate. Other examples of bon bons (like the kind we make here at South 'n France) could be a peanut butter ball dipped in chocolate, a coconut ball dipped in chocolate, or chocolate chip cookie dough dipped in chocolate.
Although food experts often disagree on the definition of a bon bon, there are some common features that all bon bon share:
1) They are a sweet candy or confection
2) They are round
3) There is an outer shell (chocolate or hard candy) with contrasting filling inside.
Not only are there many different ways to define a bon bon, there are even multiple spellings. The most common spellings are bonbon, bon bon and bon-bon. Bon bons are a universal concept, and many languages have the same term. Hungarians say: bombon; Spaniards use the word bombón. For more translations of the word 'bon bon', visit Webster's Online Dictionary.

DTW Aircraft Deicing Fluid (ADF) Management System
- DTW operates the largest ADF management system in the world. DTW has recycled more propylene glycol – PG (the primary component of ADF) than any airport in the world eight of the past ten deicing seasons.
- The DTW drainage system is constructed to completely separate aircraft deicing runoff from general airport stormwater runoff. All aircraft deicing runoff is either recycled or treated at a sanitary sewage treatment plant. The three attached pie charts display the fate of DTW ADF. As shown, an extremely small percentage of applied ADF is discharged to surface water.
- Recycled PG is used in the production of plastics and paints.
DTW Stormwater Detention System
- The DTW stormwater system had the capacity to detain more stormwater than is detained at any other North American airport, ~515 million gallons. This is the equivalent to the water contained in 750 Olympic-sized swimming pools.
- This system is operated so that stormwater generated during large rain and snow melt events is contained in ponds located on DTW property and then slowly released to streams near the airport. This reduces the frequency and severity of downstream flooding.
- The DTW stormwater system, when empty, can contain a 4.5 inch runoff event.
- DTW has spent more than $125 million on stormwater and deicing system improvements since 1990, including the construction of four remote deicing pads.
Green House Gas Reduction
- DTW has reduced its Green House Gas emissions by more than 11% over the past five years. This is equivalent to the amount of GHG emitted from driving a typical car 6,500,000 miles (256 times around the world).
- Additional GHG reductions are anticipated when the DTW Powerhouse modifications are completed.
Dilute Deicing Fluid Discharge to the Downriver Wastewater Treatment Facility
- DTW discharges all spent aircraft deicing fluid runoff that cannot be recycled to the Downriver Wastewater Treatment Facility located in Wyandotte, Michigan. This discharge is a significant element in maintain compliance with the DTW NPDES permit.
- DTW has been awarded the "Zero Violations Club" award for nine of the past ten years.
Maintenance of Endangered Species Areas
- The WCAA maintains four Endangered Species Areas (EDS) at DTW. Two of these are located at DTW and two are located at Crosswinds Marsh in Sumpter Township. Prescribed burns and other management activities are routinely conducted in these areas.
- Clearing and management activities at one of the two DTW EDS areas are done in conjunction with a group of local high school students.

There was no Diwali break for the Indian cricketers ahead of their series against the West Indies as 11 team members including captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni arrived on Sunday afternoon.
Four Test specialists including Sachin Tendulkar, who were scheduled to arrive on Monday, will also land in the evening as the team is slated for a net session ahead of the opening Test against the West Indies beginning at Eden Gardens from November 6.
Ten members of the Test squad, who were also part of the India-Australia bilateral ODI series winning team, came directly from Bangalore where the last one-day was held with Mahendra Singh Dhoni and Co winning by 57 runs.
"The 10 who played the ODI series arrived in the afternoon. Left-arm spinner Pragyan Ojha, who is only part of the Test squad, was the first to check in," CAB joint secretary Subir Ganguly said.
Tendulkar would arrive with Ajinkya Rahane, Cheteshwar Pujara and Umesh Yadav by a 8.20 pm flight, he added.
The CAB officials will personally go to the airport in Dum Dum to welcome the seniormost Indian batsman who will play his last Test at the Eden before his final hurray at his homeground in the Wankhede from November 14-20.
The Indian team is slated to practice on Monday morning two days ahead of the opening Test against the West Indies.

The effects of climate change are far-reaching and affect us, and the environment around us, more every month.
Again this year, I foolishly went to Western Canada in late February. Temperature was minus thirty-six degrees Fahrenheit when I arrived and, with wind chill, stayed below the minus thirty mark all but the last couple of days I was there. This has been one of the coldest winters on the Canadian prairies for some time and the amount of snow has likewise been exceptional. Continue Reading »

Though Cheney offered no new evidence about Saddam Hussein's purported cache of weapons of mass destruction, hawks in the Administration promise that new intelligence will serve as a smoking gun. They are holding back on specifics, they say, until the moment the President must make his case for war. But that doesn't mean Cheney is finished speaking his mind. He plans to give another version of the same speech next week.
Cheney: What Was Behind His Outbursts on Iraq?
Dick Cheney is usually the man the Administration brings out to calm a frenzy. But last week it was the Vice President who was stirring up the fuss, with two bellicose speeches that laid out the case for war against Iraq. What was Cheney up to? With such eminent members of the G.O.P. foreign-policy establishment as former National Security Adviser Brent Scowcroft, former Secretary of State James Baker and Senator Chuck Hagel all advising a go-slow approach on Iraq, the Vice President was worried that the debate was being lost. "We had to restate the case," says a senior adviser. "This was a place holder." Despite some grumbling at the White House that Cheney had gone off on his own at a time when the Administration was frantically trying to get off the topic, a Veep aide said the speech had been okayed by the President. Bush and Cheney discussed the text, and the President even made additions and edits. But the Vice President didn't share his speech with some other key members of the Administration's foreign policy team, including National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice.

Theater review: 'Romance/Romance at Slow Burn provides double the pleasure
The creators of the double-your-pleasure musical Romance/Romance understand that love is rarely a plain-and-simple affair.
Among the aspects of love that composer Keith Herrmann and lyricist-book writer Barry Harman explore in their paired one-act musicals are passion, jealousy, deception, faithfulness, risk, the rush of new love and the compromises that make love endure.
Slow Burn Theatre has just opened its new production of the intimate 1988 Broadway musical in the Broward Center's Abdo New River Room, where it will run through March 6 before moving to the Aventura Arts & Cultural Center from March 10-13. The show is a small-scale gem, with the same shining quartet of actor-singers exploring two stylistically different love stories set in different eras.
The first musical, The Little Comedy, is based on an Arthur Schnitzler short story. Set in Vienna near the end of the 19th century, the piece focuses on Josephine (Laura Hodos) and Alfred (Matthew Korinko), two attractive members of the upper class who happen to be utterly bored with their love lives.
As an experiment, each adopts a disguise — he as a struggling poet, she as a seamstress — and it's then that they meet. Blossoming love brings with it new problems. She wants to read his nonexistent poetry. He wonders why she doesn't have to show up for work. Both believe that once the truth is revealed, the class-inappropriate affair will of course have to end.
Actors Mike Westrich and Leah Sessa appear in The Little Comedy in brief minor roles and as dancing masked figures, but the first piece belongs to the deceptive duo. Director-choreographer Patrick Fitzwater, Korinko and Hodos establish precisely the right tone throughout, delivering the comedy, honoring the musical's wry and witty veneer, even as the characters reveal their longing for something real.
During intermission, the set gets a simple transformation — period furniture gives way to a contemporary sofa — to create the world of Summer Share. Based on Jules Renard's Le pain de ménage, this musical brings together two couples in a Hamptons summer rental. Sam (Korinko) is married to Barb (Sessa), Lenny (Westrich) to Monica (Hodos). But Sam and Monica also happen to be best friends, and an undercurrent of flirty tension is threatening to cut through carefully maintained boundaries. Will desire trump domesticity? That's the complicated question.
As the potentially betrayed spouses, Westrich and Sessa have a greater presence in the second piece, and in addition to solos and duets, the blend when all four actors are singing together is excellent. Musical director Emmanuel Schvartzman is among the best in the biz in South Florida (the tracks he created for the show are first-rate), and here he's working with four of the region's best voices, so it's no wonder Romance/Romance is such a pleasure to listen to.
Sound designer Rich Szczublewski and lighting designer Lance Blank more than meet the challenges of transforming the Abdo, a banquet room, into a viable theater space. And Slow Burn's prolific costume designer Rick Peña comes through again, particularly with a pair of stunning gowns (one black with gold accents, the other red with black trim) for Hodos in The Little Comedy.
A single song from the score, It's Not Too Late, is used in both parts of the show, though the arrangement is altered for Summer Share. So audiences get a two-for-one experience with Romance/Romance, a period musical and a contemporary one. And yet again, Fitzwater and his collaborators demonstrate that all kinds of musicals, not just the large-scale Broadway hits, are in Slow Burn's wheelhouse.

Apprehended Violence Order (AVO)
You may have heard of it, you may already have one placed, yet you will never understand the seriousness of AVO.
You are right, AVO itself is not a criminal record or conviction – merely an Order of the Court. So, you may think that since the AVO is simply an Order, there is no harm or risk in consenting to the AVO being made or even breach it for one reason or another. How wrong could you be?
If you simply accepted the AVO without seeking proper legal advice then you may find yourself in an awkward position that you never anticipated. You might be forced to move out of your house. You might be prevented or restricted from seeing your children or going to or near a particular location. If you simply believed your innocence and ignored the AVO, you will face dire consequences.
If you breached AVO on whatever ground, this is deemed to be a criminal offence and the police have powers to arrest (without a warrant) and charge you and bring you before the courts as soon as is practicably possible. Depending on the seriousness of the breach you may or may not be granted bail, with a maximum penalty of 2 years imprisonment and or a fine up to $5,500.00.
And it is easy to make an AVO against you, a simple telephone call to police, with a claim that you swore at, intimidated, harassed or any other dubious grounds are sufficient to have arrested and send to in front of a Magistrate.
For those reasons alone, you should seek expert help, you will require the assistance of expert even in a matter you may view as trivial as AVO, to us no criminal matter is trivial, and we will do our outmost to help you as to what action should be taken in response to an Apprehended Violence order application.
Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any issues in this regard. Our specialist expertise can provide you with reliable and personalised solutions aiming at achieving the best possible outcome at the most reasonable costs.

Addendum effective June 26, 2012: Orchard openings have changed due to wildlife eating the apricots. Wednesday June 27, the Mulford, Gifford, Merin Smith, Cook, and Mott orchards will be opening. The Johnson and Adams will not open at all due to the lack of fruit. There are currently no plans to open other orchards on July 3.
Contact: Cindy Micheli, (435) 425-4111
The apricot harvest is beginning at Capitol Reef National Park's historic orchards. Apricots are available for $1.00 a pound, beginning Wednesday, June 27, in the Mulford, Gifford and Johnson Orchards, all located south of the visitor center along the Scenic Drive. Fee stations with scales for weighing fruit are provided in each open orchard. There is no charge for fruit consumed in the orchards. Fenced orchards are open from 9am to 5pm; unfenced orchards remain open during daylight hours.
Apricots will be available for harvest in the Smith, Cook, Adams and Mott Orchards, beginning Tuesday, July 3. These orchards are all located within one mile of the visitor center along the Scenic Drive or Highway 24.
Additional fruit harvest information is recorded on the Capitol Reef Fruit Hotline as fruit ripens and specific harvest start dates are determined. The fruit hotline may be reached by calling (435) 425-3791. Once the park number connects, press one for general information and at the voice prompt for the orchard hotline, press five.
Climbing fruit trees is not permitted in the park. The National Park Service provides special fruit picking ladders. Use care when picking fruit and carefully read and follow posted instructions on fruit picking and ladder use.
Capitol Reef National Park uses the receipts from fruit sales to defray the cost of maintaining the orchards. The historic Fruita orchards are among the largest in the National Park System and were established beginning in the 1880s by pioneer residents of Fruita.

The human digestive system is very sensitive; it's normal to experience unpleasant reactions from time to time. In the majority of the cases, this is not something you should bother with as the heavy feeling and a bit of nausea after eating can be caused by consuming too much food too fast.
However, sometimes this can be a symptom of a dangerous disease that you need to treat immediately. It's always best to see a doctor if you feel nauseous on a regular basis.
Nausea is a feeling of uneasiness in your stomach that can occur for many reasons. If you experience it right after consuming a meal, the possible causes for this condition are:
- Acid reflux – This reflux occurs when the ring of muscle that separates your stomach from your esophagus (esophageal sphincter) cannot close as tightly as it should. This allows some particles of food and your stomach acid to rise up and flow back into your esophagus. Nausea after eating and sour taste in your mouth are indicators of this condition. If left untreated, it can result in an ulcer or infection.
- Pregnancy – There are several reasons that can make you feel nauseous at different times during your pregnancy. The vast majority of women experience it on a regular basis during the first few months of their pregnancies. Vomiting occurs in 25-55% of cases.You must consult a doctor about the unusual conditions you should be ready for. This way, you will know when you need to seek medical assistance in case the nausea lasts too long or occurs during times when it shouldn't. Be sure to stick to a healthy diet as your body will be under a great deal of stress. Indulging in heavy and unhealthy foods can be really dangerous.
- Anxiety and stress – Stress can have an affect on your digestive system. This is why this particular part of your body is the first to show the negative side effects of this condition.Vomiting and dry heaves caused by your emotional upheaval aren't dangerous, but it can be a sign of a fast approaching ulcer.
- Medication-induced nausea and vomiting – Read all the labels of the medication you take on a regular basis and take note of those that can have these side effects. If you experience it for no obvious reason, you should consult your doctor and stop taking the medication. In case the problem doesn't go away in a few days, the chance of it being caused by the medication is small. Note that in some cases, like chemotherapy, these symptoms are acceptable side effects. So, you shouldn't interrupt your treatment.
- Pancreatic cancer – This is the most important reason for you to consult a medical specialist if you experience nausea after eating on a regular basis. Take the tests necessary to ensure that you don't suffer from this particular disease. Remember, the sooner you find out, the higher your chances to defeat it.
- Bulimia and other eating disorders – Psychological disorders that revolve around eating usually make you feel nauseous or even vomit. These conditions must be treated by qualified medical professionals.
- Ulcers – This is a nasty and potentially dangerous condition that can occur for different reasons. Having ulcers usually require you to follow a strict diet and eat on schedule. Nausea usually occurs if you break these rules.
- Brain tumor – In this case, you might feel nauseous at different times, but the feeling often intensifies after eating. Brain tumors must be treated immediately as they can be fatal.
- Gastroparesis – This condition is characterized by the delayed emptying of your stomach. It often occurs in the people who suffer from diabetes. If you have been diagnosed with this disease, you should consult your doctor for treatment options.
- Food poisoning – This reaction can occur due to allergies or low quality of the food you ate. In any case, if the poisoning has caused vomiting, you need to get medical attention immediately. The doctors will be able to remove the toxic substance from your stomach before they cause any more damage.
Many people dismiss slight nausea as irrelevant, but this can be a huge mistake. The only time when you should overlook this issue is after you've just finished consuming a huge meal. Overeating isn't good for your body, but it shouldn't have any lasting side effects. However, if you feel nauseous on a regular basis, it is imperative that you consult a doctor.
There are many effective methods of treatment for this problem, but they will work only if you know the reason that causes it in the first place.

It all started in 1968 when a dog named Pat saved his owner's life by swimming for 3½ hours through strong winds and the rough waters of the St. Lawrence River with a rope attached to a powerless boat.
James MacPherson, president of Purina at the time, was so impressed with the black Labrador retriever's courage, he decided to honour the dog with an award for heroism.
Thus began the Purina Animal Hall of Fame Awards, now in their 45th year of honouring pets and service animals who protect human life.
To date, 159 animals — with names as diverse as Stinky, Little Monster, Little Bits, Herman and Ralph — have been inducted, a total of 132 dogs, 26 cats and one horse.
On Monday, three pets and one service dog were chosen as "animal heroes'' from hundreds of nominations from across Canada in a ceremony at Toronto's PawsWay, the home of the Purina Animal Hall of fame
These are their stories:
- All his life, he's been saving animals that needed homes. Then one day, it was Gregory Gould's turn to be saved.
The 61-year-old Oshawa man, who suffers from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, was home alone early one morning last March when he had a problem with his assisted breathing machine. He lapsed into unconsciousness, falling on the floor.
Gould's dog, Snickers, a 4-year-old rescue border collie/pointer cross, not only figured out something was terribly wrong, but had the intelligence to go for help.
The dog threw himself repeatedly against a back door, breaking the glass and managing to release the latch. Snickers then broke through a weak spot in the backyard fence and ran to the driveway of a neighbouring family, which had recently moved in, barking incessantly and refusing to let them leave for work. Fearing the dog might be dangerous, they called police.
Const. Rob Garnett recognized this was unusual behaviour for a dog, who did not seem dangerous. When the family's daughter said the dog lived next door, Garnett went to the house with the still-agitated Snickers and found Gould.
The officer was able to get Gould the medical attention he needed just in time to save his life.
Although Gould was in hospital Monday and unable to attend the ceremonies, his son, Jeff, said the dog is a hero to the entire family. His dad, he said, has taken in orphaned animals and rescue dogs all his life and is especially glad he was able to give Snickers a home.
"He saved my dad's life. I have no doubt,'' said Jeff Gould. They'd always known he was a resourceful dog ever since he snagged a beef prime rib off a kitchen counter, devoured every scrap in a couple of minutes and then lay down innocently at Gregory Gould's feet as if nothing had happened.
Of course, all is forgiven now.
- Most of the time, a 12-year-old border collie/Labrador cross named Vicious is anything but. But she lived up to her name, and thankfully so, one warm summer evening last August.
Her owner, Angie Prime, 35, had left a sliding door open at her rural Trail, B.C., home so Vicious and two puppies could go in and out. She'd left her lights off so bugs wouldn't be attracted into the house. But in the dark, she suddenly sensed another presence and looked up to see a mountain lion standing just two metres away.
Prime was trapped and only had a few seconds to scream and throw her arms up to protect her head before the giant cat pounced. At the same time, a dark mass hurtled out of the corner where she'd been sleeping and Vicious launched herself at the cougar.
The cat immediately fled the house, followed by Vicious and took off toward a green belt and woods nearby. Luckily, Vicious came back a while later, exhausted but unhurt. The emaciated mountain lion was tracked down and euthanized.
Prime was left with puncture wounds on her thigh and a huge debt of gratitude to her dog which, she says, is really a "cream puff'' — when there are no mountain lions around.
- Chris Larocque had given his wife, Andrea, a Bernese mountain dog puppy about two years ago as a special thank you. He wanted to express his gratitude for taking such good care of him after a terrible car accident which traumatized the left side of his body. It was a gesture that would end up having a life-altering impact.
Larocque, 40, uses a cane to walk and often experiences shooting pains. While cooking lunch one day, one of those pains caused him to fall just as he'd opened the oven door. He hit his head and became a little dazed, not realizing the tea towel in his hand had caught fire. Within seconds, his sweater flamed up but he managed to get it off and toss it.
The fire started to spread and Larocque called 911 on his cellphone. The operator told him to get out of the house and that's when he realized he couldn't pull himself to his feet. Smoke was spreading and the detector was making a racket but Larocque called out for Bella.
When the dog came, he grabbed her collar and said, "Bella, get me out of here.'' With his coaching, the 108-pound dog dragged Larocque onto a neighbour's lawn. When emergency personnel arrived, they found Bella by Larocque's side and the house in flames.
While he lost his home, Larocque said the incident "woke me up. I realized I still had two great kids and a fabulous wife'' in addition to a dog who now gets "whatever she wants."
More than a few bacon strips come her way and she gets to play her favourite game a lot. "Rub my belly — that's her favourite game,'' laughs daughter Jessica, 17.
<bullet>Teak, a now retired police dog, came close to death after being stabbed repeatedly in January by an armed robbery suspect he'd brought down after the man ran from police into a busy Vancouver area filled with shoppers. Now the 8-year-old German shepherd is facing another battle: cancer.
While Teak sat on the Purina Hall of Fame stage, after being named Service Dog of the Year, his former partner and now owner, Vancouver Const. Derrick Gibson, told the audience, "He's had my back for eight years. I don't care what it takes . . . chemo . . . we're going to get this thing. We're going to get through it, buddy.''
While Teak was getting surgery to repair the stab wounds, doctors found a mass in his bowel.
In that sense, the wounds were "kind of a blessing in disguise,'' said Gibson, who had worked with Teak since he was a puppy.
Teak held on to the suspect despite being stabbed multiple times, including a 30-centimetre-long slash to his neck. After the man was finally subdued and arrested, Teak was rush to a veterinary hospital where he underwent two surgeries.
Gibson believes that by taking down the armed suspect Teak saved his life, as well as civilians on the street. He may have even saved the suspect's life, said Gibson, because had he confronted police with a knife the situation could have escalated into a lethal encounter.

The topic for this month's RPG Blog Carnival is Genre mixing in RPGs hosted by Shinobicow over at The Dump Stat. For more details about the RPG Blog Carnival, visit the archive of past blog carnivals over at Nevermeet Press.
In our modern geek zeitgeist it isn't easy to satisfy the varied tastes of geeks. Even satisfying the varied tastes of your gaming group alone can be challenging.
Consider this array:
Aliens. Bothans. Cyborgs. Dinosaurs.* Elves. Free-Masons. Gunslingers. Hackers. Illithids. Journalists. Kryptonians. Lahnkmarians. Monks. Ninjas. Orwellians. Pirates. Quarians. Robots. Samurais. Taurens. Unicorns. Victorians. Wizards. Xenomorphs. Yetis. Zombies.
I know I am leaving out at least 1 thing that you would consider essential for this alphabetical noun string of geeky things.
*Dinosaurs enjoyed a narrow victory over Dwarves, with these boneheads tipping the scales.
One way to satiate the geek appetite is to play with genres. If a genre is merely a series of conventions, you could take some conventions that entertain you and mash them together, you can even take some conventions you like and dress it up as something else, or you could toss everything you like in a bucket and proceed to paint it like Pollock. We are going to ponder a few ways of bending genre to taste.
Ornately bent Out of the box.
If you haven't decided on a game to play already, there are a number of RPGs* that are genre bending by default:
Wierd West is Sergio Leone meets Mike Mignola.
Shadowrun throws magic and meta-humans at cyberpunk.
Amethyst is future-tech and fantasy mixing like oil and water.
Eclipse Phase is post-apocalyptic trans-human conspiracy and horror.
CthulhuTech is the beast born of cosmic horror spliced with mecha anime.
Rifts is the classic multi-genre smorgasbord from the mind of Kevin Siembieda.
Gamma World is swords & sorcery & science fiction on a post-apocalyptic platter.
Not only do these serve as solid examples of how genre bending can be executed, but they are fun and can save you on a lot of work.
*There are likely a thousand other games that I am not naming. If there is one you love that was not named either know that it must not be named lest it rise and swallow the Earth, or drop me a line in the comments.
Masterfully bend the box.
If you have already decided on a game to play or can't convince your players to try a new rule-set, discretely bend conventions in the existing game. Choose a single convention* or discrete group of conventions and weave them into a single adventure. Episodic TV shows routinely bend genre for a single episode by applying a zero-sum scenario (whatever changes occur will balance back out to zero by the end). Special episodes for Halloween often bend the show's conventions to include horror conventions and Christmas episodes often include morality play conventions. You can make almost any idea fit.
Here are some conventions to consider bending with:
Stanislavsky gun – A weapon or item of power is introduced that temporarily changes the balance of things. It is introduced, waived about, alluded to and/or fought over a few times before it is actually used, but once it is used it is spent or destroyed. This convention came from drama / tragedy, but works well in space operas.
Somebody set us up the bomb – An unknown assailant has planted an explosive device (even if explosives might not normally occur in your game, magic can be a suitable substitute for a bomb)! You have to find and defuse it post-haste or escape the vicinity post-haste; either way, you are on the way to destruction. This explosive convention comes from thrillers but mad bombers can appear in any genre.
Mind-less Horde – Individually they are problematic, in numbers they are dangerous, as a horde they are unstoppable! Waves of mind-less malicious monsters are coming, destroying everything in their wake, plague and pestilence made manifest. Even the players may be unable to survive. This convention comes from horror, but has even been used in comedy.
*I would link you to that site full of tropes, but I value your sanity.
Fearlessly bend it into another box.
One of the joyous artistic discoveries of this era has been the modularity of content. The dadaists* and the post-modernists are secretly celebrating their victory as society has finally grasped how much fun it can be to put random things together like so many tinker toys. A Space Adventure + Western TV show, sure! Rock Legends + Hip-hop mogul, why yes thank you! Cadillacs and Dinosaurs? Of course! This is great for RPGs where imagination (or the GM's patience) is the only real limit.
Here are a few genre combinations I have enjoyed:
Zombies + Anything – They haven't become tired yet…
Cyberpunk + Fantasy – See Shadowrun above.
Paranormal Investigation + Local History (based on a true story) – It helps if you have a supposedly haunted mansion in your area, but most cities have at least one. A little truth goes a long way.
Fantasy + Portal Jumping (a la Sliders) – Carte blanche to use continuing characters in a setting / location of your choosing. Fantasy isn't a necessity, but it allowed me to take a D&D group outside of their normal gaming habits, especially when the Star Wars Game sessions dissolved due to arguments over canon.
Steampunk + Pirate Adventure – Zeppelins. Add a dash of Errol Flynn for flavor.
Samurai + Dreamscapes – Zen warriors in the dreamlands, where will must be sharper than the sword.
* Da da da da da da da da da da da da da Stop @0:24 unless you are really curious.
Genuinely, you don't need a box.
Be aware that when you add more and more genres and conventions into a mix, you start to end up with a pasty pastiche. If you have a light and flexible rule set then you might be fine, but some systems will buckle under the added weight. You will need to be selective about what you add unless you toss the box out the window, because for all the talk above about genres and conventions and boxes, remember that they are there for convenience and categorization. Genres help the GM and the players identify what conventions are in play, but even when using genres, a certain level of communication is necessary to put everyone on the same page. If that communication is there, an experienced group with a flexible system* could play a game by ear without even defining genres or conventions if they so desired.
A game with no limits might not be what some players are interested in or might confuse some players, so regardless of which way you plan to play, be up front in communicating your expectations.

Off the record, LAPD officers have been telling us for months that their supervisors expect them to write a certain number of traffic tickets per day -- about 18 for traffic cops, and two for patrol cops (on top of their regular duties).
Which is why last week's lawsuit against the City of Los Angeles, filed by 10 cops from the West Traffic Bureau who allege "their supervisors retaliated against them for resisting traffic-ticket quotas," according to the Los Angeles Times, doesn't surprise us one bit. Especially after motorcycle cops Howard Chan and David Benioff, also of the West Traffic Bureau, won a similar lawsuit in April that drained the city of $2 million; what a golden opportunity to cash in on law-enforcement corruption in an economic slump!
But these are just civil lawsuits. What should be surprising...
... is that the District or City Attorney's Office haven't stepped with the big guns. If a quota system really is in place, as Chan and Benioff claimed in their winning suit, it begs investigation on a civic level.
Their $2 million reward was in response to allegations that they had, according to the Times, "been punished with bogus performance reviews, threats of reassignment and other forms of harassment" after objecting to the quota system -- but their victory rode on the finding that there had, in fact, been a quota to object to. (And ticket quotas violate California law.)
It's true that civil suits require less supporting evidence than civic ones. But how many millions of taxpayer dollars are cops going to walk away with before the city, or the department, launches a good hard investigation into West Traffic Bureau standards?
Nancy Lauer served as West Traffic Bureau Chief up until February of this year. Brenda Crump is her replacement. We've contacted both for comment.
The 10 plaintiffs are Philip Carr, Timothy Dacus, Kevin Cotter, Peter Landelius, Kevin Ree, Kevin Riley, Josh Sewell, Vincent Stroway, James Wallace and Jason Zapatka. Their accusations, via the Times:
Among their allegations is that LAPD supervisors punished them for refusing to follow orders to implement traffic ticket quotas. They also allege that the amount of traffic tickets they produced was the basis for an illegal comparison among fellow West Traffic Bureau motor cops.
If it exists, an LAPD quota system -- alongside the fact that cops are no longer allowed to skip court just because they don't remember the details surrounding a ticket -- is a double thorn in the side of L.A. drivers during rough economic times.
A few different cops we talked to for "Citywide LAPD Ticket Shakedown" told us the pressure to write more tickets forces them to override their best judgment on whether motorists are endangering themselves or the public, and just write them up them anyway -- because they can't afford not to.
This often involves "cherry-picking"; for example, hiding out near an oft-rolled stop sign, then issuing a ticket to every driver who rolls through it.
District Attorney spokeswoman Sandi Gibbons says, via email: "If there is any investigation at all of what appears to be an administrative matter within the Los Angeles Police Department, it would be done by the department's Internal Affairs staff. You need to check with the LAPD and City Attorney. We have nothing to do with this. Sorry."
Great. As we discovered in "Shakedown," the City Attorney's Office reaps a good portion of the profits from traffic tickets that go through the L.A. County Superior Court.

True, City Attorney Carmen Trutanich was the one who served justice in Chan and Benioff's civil lawsuit -- but he has yet to address the alleged quota system beyond personal damages.
As for the LAPD: Media relations brushes off our ticket-quota questions by saying "Chief Beck is unavailable and we are unable to comment on any pending litigation." (Beck famously denied any evidence of an LAPD quota in April.)
LAPD Internal Affairs says they've never heard of either ticket-quota lawsuit.

|A Cash Value Insurance Contract is an investment product that has an element of life insurance attached to it. The life insurance part is often small compared to the investment element of the contract. General insurance products, such as term life insurance, property or motor insurance, that do not carry any investment element are not financial accounts.
A Cash Value Insurance Contract is an insurance contract where the policyholder is entitled to receive payment on surrender or termination of the contract. Examples of the type of insurance product that will be cash value insurance products and those that will notcanbe found at AEIM101660.
The cash value of such a contract is the greater of:
The cash value does not include any amount payable under an insurance contract:
a) Solely by reason of the death of an individual insured under a life insurance contract;
b) As a personal injury, sickness or other benefit providing indemnification of an economic loss arising from an event that has been insured against;
c) As a refund of premium due to the cancellation or termination of an insurance contract, a reduction in the amount insured or a correction of a posting or similar error in relation to the premium
d) As a policyholder dividend, other than a termination dividend, provided that the insurance contract pays only the benefits in b) above. A policyholder dividend is the return of premium, under the terms of the policy, resulting from an excess of income over losses and expenses.
e) As a return of an advance premium or premium deposit for an insurance contract where the premium is payable at least annually. In this case the advance premium or premium deposit must not exceed the amount due as the next annual premium payable under the contract.

Introduction-Transient Pressure
A transient pressure in a pipeline is a generic term for a wave phenomenon that accompanies a rapid change of the velocity of the fluid in the pipeline. Authors variously use the term "surge" pressure to denote a transient pressure that has no detrimental effect, whereas the term "waterhammer" may be used to denote a sudden transient pressure that will have serious consequences if not properly addressed and mitigated. Pressure transients can be positive or negative. The magnitude of these surges is independent of the operating pressure, and can be many times normal operating pressure. The duration of a transient pressure will vary from several minutes in relatively long pipe segments, to several hundredths of a second in the case of waterhammer events.
Pipelines are designed to withstand transient pressures among the various loads that will be placed on them during operation: external loads such as soil, traffic, and the weight of the pipe itself; and internal pressure loads. The hydraulic design of the pipeline will identify the normal operating pressures, and will estimate the transient pressures or surge pressures that will accompany any change in the rate of flow in the pipeline such as the start of a pump or the closing of a valve. The operator will strive to make sure the loads imposed on a pipe do not exceed the design loads, but a problem arises when unforeseen operational events cause transient pressures exceeding the designer's estimate. A frequent refrain from pipeline operators who have experienced failures or ruptures is that transient pressures may have caused the problem, but there is no way of knowing because transient pressures, sometimes referred to as waterhammer, are impossible to detect. We have all heard loud, banging waterhammer in household water or steam pipes; in buried pipelines there is normally no one to there to hear the event which may have a duration of only a few thousandths of a second.
The TP-1, Transient Pressure Monitoring System is specifically designed to give pipeline operators detailed information about transient pressures within a pipeline. Like conventional data loggers the TP-1 can continuously collect pressure measurements at any pre-programmed interval. What sets the TP-1 apart is its ability to instantly begin recording pressure data at up to 100 times per second should an anomaly occur. This patented second level of high-speed data collection allows operators to detect any spikes that would have otherwise gone undetected or insufficiently recorded given the standard rate of data collection. Once the pressure stabilizes the TP-1 returns to its normal monitoring mode.
The TP-1 is portable and easy to install on any pipeline transporting any fluid. The system has a wireless interface that makes it easy to collect the data from even the remotest of locations and comes with easy to use analysis software that offers operators instant information.
Events that change the velocity of fluid in a pipeline will cause a pressure change. Typical causes of transient pressures include:
- Opening and closing of control valves
- Starting and stopping of pumps
- Sudden electrical power failures
- Increase and decrease of customer delivery rates
- Operation of air release valves
- Operation of pressure release valves
- Operation of backflow prevention valves
- Filter backwash operations
- Change of refined petroleum product being delivered
- Pulsations from cylinder-type positive displacement pumps
- Oscillations from unstable pressure reducing valves
- Leaks and ruptures
But there is a need to monitor these transients, as they may cause damage if
- The highest pressures exceed the structural design of the pipe, pipe seals nd gaskets, and thrust restraint systems
- Negative pressures are observed, which may lead to cavitation, external liquid intrusion, and waterhammer
- Continuous or frequent pressure oscillation occurs which may lead to material fatigue and structural failure even though the design pressures are not exceeded.
Transients often go unnoticed due to insufficient monitoring. An event or a series of events can lead to transients exceeding the design pressure of a pipe. Left unchecked, such events can affect delivery efficiency and weaken a pipeline, making it vulnerable to leakage or rupture
The TP-1 can assist operators in finding:
- Faulty or insufficiently placed air valves
- Faulty valve actuators
- Isolated surge chambers
- Faulty or inadequate pumps
- Poor pipeline management procedures
- Many types of anomalous transients are present immediately following construction, while others develop over time. Some events can be controlled, while others such as an electrical power failure, are uncontrolled and occur without warning. The TP-1 offers a pipeline operator the ability to identify and quantify many types of transient in every type of condition

Last week, while Mom and I hung out together and did our best to find refuge from the heat wave, Patrick took a quick trip to Cape Cod for a reunion with some of his cousins. He was pleasantly surprised to encounter nearly no traffic slow-downs on the nearly two-hour trip. Everyone who was heading to the beach to escape the heat had already arrived and was staying put as long as possible!
Over the course of less than 24 hours, he savored walks on the beach, a feast of fresh seafood — including oysters harvested just outside the front door — catching up with cousins, and a tea party and iPad games with the youngsters.
He returned home with two tangible treasures: the last yarn from the stash of beloved Aunt Mary Ann, a wonderful woman and prodigious knitter who died a couple of years ago.
What shall I make with these approximately 1,000 yards of cotton? I welcome any and all suggestions.
A walk on the beach yielded another treasure, which now sits at my bedside: a reminder that love is all around us; we just have to keep our eyes (and hearts) open for it.

It is fascinating the way the human character works in justifying actions
committed either for or against humanity.
Is it fascination or abhorrence,that a country can stand up for the rights of the oppressed in the name of free speech yet at the same time oppress people by the same token?
Is it strange today that an individual at his/her workplace is not allowed to
express negative opinions about others for the fear of humiliation or loss
of income?
Or stranger yet, that as a society we are ever so careful in how
we communicate with others be it in the work place or at home or at our
social gatherings for the fear of hurting the feelings of others?
How about the feelings of those who have passed away? Is there not uneasiness when speaking ill of those in their graves?
So what right does this so called "freedom of speech" have when it comes to
denigrating, and tarnishing the name of our beloved Prophet Muhammad?
According to Wikipedia, freedom of speech is the "political" expression of
ones opinions and ideas through the medium of speech. Article 19 of the
Universal Declaration of Human Rights also indicates that " ... the exercise
of these rights carries with it special duties and responsibilities" and
may "...therefore be subject to certain restrictions when necessary". The
definition goes on to say that these restrictions apply for the protection
of "national security or public order"
By this above definition, I would clearly define this "so called" movie as
violating the freedom of speech. It is in violation of disrupting public
order and causing unnecessary hardship and violence.
The Holy Prophet (P.B.U.H) is a mercy to the worlds, who character is par
excellence, who transformed the ways of the Arab people by his exemplary
morals and ethics, who never provoked, insulted or attacked anyone, and
whose character is a testament to the heights a Human Being can reach in the
eyes of the creator.
Mahatma Ghandi held the Holy Prophet in reverence, stating;
"It was not the sword that won a place for Islam in those days in the scheme
of life. It was the rigid simplicity, the utter self-effacement of the
Prophet the scrupulous regard for pledges, his intense devotion to his
friends and followers, his intrepidity, his fearlessness, his absolute trust
in God and in his own mission. These and not the sword carried everything
before them and surmounted every obstacle."
Thomas Carlyle in his book Hero's and Hero Worship and the Heroic in
History(1840) states "The lies (Western slander) which well-meaning zeal has
heaped round this man (Muhammad) are disgraceful to ourselves only."
Lane-Poole states in 'Speeches and Table Talk of the Prophet Muhammad', the
following about Prophet Muhammad (P.B.U.H)
"He was the most faithful protector of those he protected, the sweetest and
most agreeable in conversation. Those who saw him were suddenly filled with
reverence; those who came near him loved him; they who described him would
say, "I have never seen his like either before or after." He was of great
taciturnity, but when he spoke it was with emphasis and deliberation, and no
one could forget what he said.."
And there are hundreds of such quotes and reflections coming not from
Muslims but Orientalists, who after having read about the true character of
the Prophet, have nothing but words of reverence and beauty to say about
Therefore this is a call to all of us, Muslim or not, monotheist or not, to
reach into the annals of history and pull from it the wisdom of the ages
that sets us apart from the ignorant and the arrogant. As a nation, nay
rather a civilized nation, it becomes almost mandatory for us, not to accept
such deliberate yet feeble and uncouth attempts at demeaning Islam and
Muslims or rather any other religion, or culture that may be unfortunate
enough to be sacrificed at the altar of "Freedom of Speech"
As true followers of this great man (Prophet Muhammad), violence is
unacceptable, and is vociferously denounced, rather attempts at diplomatic
and meaningful dialogue is highly encouraged. Dialogue that will free the
innocent and release the ignorant from the shackles of disgrace and
Historical insights such as the ones stated above are facts that cannot be
denied by any sound mind. The questions then we must ask ourselves are; Does
"Freedom of Speech" come with a responsibility that ties humanity into a
cohesive entity? Or is any speech, free of all responsibility and can be
used to in any form regardless of consequences?

After his resignation from UC Berkeley was accepted Wednesday amid sexual harassment allegations, Geoffrey Marcy, a former faculty member of the campus astronomy department, has been removed from his position as an adjunct professor at San Francisco State University.
The SFSU department of physics and astronomy released a statement the day of his resignation from UC Berkeley, expressing disappointment about Marcy's behavior and professing commitment to preventing sexual harassment and all other forms of discrimination.
Marcy taught at SFSU for 15 years between 1984 and 1999, and held the title of honorific adjunct professor from 1999 to 2015. Marcy did not teach classes as an adjunct professor but was given special privileges by SFSU, including full access to campus facilities and a university Web page and email.
In response to the incident, SFSU faculty plan to stress student awareness of Title IX rights and increase access to resources for victims of sexual misconduct, according to Stephen Kane, an assistant professor in the SFSU physics and astronomy department.
"The worst-case scenario would be that something happened to a student and they didn't know what to do, so they did nothing," Kane said. "We want to make sure that never ever happens and that students can feel comfortable here."
On Saturday, the Santa Cruz Sentinel reported that two women, both former students of Marcy, said in interviews that they were discouraged by campus officials from filing formal complaints regarding his sexual misconduct in the mid-1990s.
"This whole incident has caused people to question whether he had incidents when he taught at San Francisco State," Kane said.
According to an email from Adrianne Bee, the SFSU interim associate vice president, SFSU administration has yet to locate any documentation of these complaints, and the time frame of the incidents extends beyond California State University records' retention policy.

HUNTSVILLE, Ala. - Ask anyone who does theater - the tech rehearsal before a big show is stressful. "It's a long night," says Jessica Alexander.
Naturally, she was concerned when her Assistant Director grabbed her by the arm back stage. "He was like, sit down in this spot, I want you to see something and I honestly thought, oh no, what's wrong with the set?" says Alexander.
From the beginning, when you watch the video, you can tell Jessica knew something was up. "And then the music starts playing, and I'm like, that's not Christmas Carol music," she says.
The dancers weren't hired hands; they were all either Jessica's dance students or a part of the theater family. "Third couple came out, the gentleman dancing was one of my best friends and it started to hit, and then when he and Mary Ann came out, it was, oh, I think I know what this is," says Alexander.
Her boyfriend, Michael Bradley, says he had been drafting the script for this, since March. Not a natural dancer himself, he even hired a choreographer. "She said, we can get this in one rehearsal. I was like, one rehearsal? We need more than that! So we had two," says Bradley.
The music, the lights, the carefully chosen moves and steps all culminated to the big moment - a bended knee, a question, and a kiss.
It's only fitting the upcoming show is "A Christmas Carol."
"The show is so much about love," says Alexander. The plot focuses on reflections of the past, and visions of the future. Jessica says she couldn't have dreamed up a better proposal.
"It turned out great, it was a perfect proposal," she says.
Even the audience was perfectly planned. Both their parents were hiding in the wings, all to witness, love take center stage.
"Other than just how I love him for how much work he had put into it, and all of our friends and everybody else to make what I had just seen happened, it was amazing," says Alexander.

Frequently-asked questions
How long has magnetic water conditioning been around?
Magnetism is not new, of course, nor is magnetic water conditioning. The first patent for magnetic treatment of scale in water was taken out in Europe in 1890. Victor Cassar, an Australian magnetic engineer developed commercial clamp on magnetic water conditioners (water magnets) in early 1991 using powerful neodymium (rare earth) magnetic assemblies, and it is from 20 years of further research by that same engineer that THE GROWFLOW MAGNETIC WATER CONDITIONER is now available. Our products represent the most advanced and effective magnetic water technology currently available.
Why hasn't everyone heard about it?
If you haven't, then in this day and age this is unusual. But then it is largely a rural product, and word sometimes travels slowly in the bush. Ask around, and you'll be surprised how many people swear by it.
How does it work?
We use powerful neodymium (rare earth) magnets in the construction of our conditioners. These magnets focus a strong magnetic field into the flowing water. This magnetic field interferes with the ionic (electrical) charge on those elements which make up the salts in the water, and this changes the way they behave. The mineral salts (Calcium, Magnesium and Alkalinity) that cause scale )in pipes, fittings, appliances and surfaces the water comes in contact with) lose their bonding ability. They can no longer bond to surfaces, so no further scale forms. The treated water will also remove existing scale in the system over time. Iron is a little more complicated, but it also loses it's bonding ability. Sodium, chloride and other elements which formerly contributed to salinity and sodicity in soil are also rendered inert. They lose their ability to be held ionically by soil clay particles and humus, and will leach through the profile. Leaf-burning is severely reduced, and soil structure improves.
How are they installed?
Most of our units are a clamp-on design. They separate into two halves, and are clamped around the pipe, and the bolts are done up with a spanner. They will fit any non-magnetic pipes ie. polypipe, PVC, copper, stainless steel or rubber. They may be installed externally in the weather, or they may be buried (especially if you're concerned about somebody stealing them). They do not require a power-source, nor do they require earthing. They may not be installed over steel or galvanized pipes. Units 75mm (3″) and above are built around a spool of HDPe (high density polypipe), and have slip-flanges at either end for installation inline.
What happens to the salts?
Do they revert in the soil? We've seen no evidence of this. In fact, we've seen soil test results which show that there is normally a REDUCTION of soil salinity, especially sodium and chloride. Rest assured you will do no harm to your soil in the long-term. As for the scale-forming minerals? They will simply end up down the drain.
Where should I install it?
It should be at least one meter from any three phase electric motors. And they should not be installed onto any steel or gal pipes. You should install them before the first tap or outlet, so as to get the maximum benefit. But they should always be installed AFTER ANY STORAGE TANKS, as the water will lose it's treated effect if stored for any period of time. And they may be installed exposed to the weather, or they may be buried if necessary. Avoid exposure to temperatures that exceed 70 degrees celcius.
How will I know if it's working?
USE the water! It doesn't take long to see the difference. you should notice a difference in how it lathers and how it tastes within a day of installation. you may try washing your hands with soap under the untreated water beforehand, then washing with soap again straight after installation. You should notice a marked difference. NOTE: There may be a period of stabilising of up to four to six weeks if this is an older installation, as there will be a build-up of scale in the pipework getting cleaned out. It may well get worse before it gets better!
With saline and sodic waters, it may take a little longer if you've been using the water for a while and have built up salts in the soil. It may take 4-6 months, but you WILL see a huge difference.
The changes will NOT show up on water tests. No minerals are being removed……merely conditioned. The minerals are still there, therefore they will still show up on tests. But they will not perform the same, and this is something you can see for yourself.
Do I have to replace them, or maintain them?
Neodymium (rare earth) magnets lose only 1-3% of their power over 100 years. They don't wear out! We never have to replace them. And they're constructed to be "farmer-proof", and can sit out in cow paddocks in the elements for many years. And there's no maintenance required. Just install them and forget they're there!
Does the product have a warranty?
Yes! 25 year guarantee on the performance of the magnets. 3 year guarantee on workmanship. 125 day money back guarantee, that when used in accordance with the instructions, calcium buildup will be eliminated and existing calcium build-up reduced, or full invoice price will be refunded to the original purchaser.

Guardrails has truly been a challenging series!!! You can listen to Guardrails part 3 "Flee Baby Flee" or any previous messages on our website http://www.wyandottefamily.com/listen.html or you can download it from iTunes https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/wyandotte-family-church/id478735158
Guardrails are so important. They cause a smaller accident in order to prevent a devastating one. They are placed in safe zones to keep us out of the danger zones. Many people refuse or push back on the concept of guardrails because they feel like it is childish. They feel like they are silly to have because wherever guardrails are placed they seem extreme.
However, if we put guardrails to close to the edge of the cliff, we will always go over. Even though we tell ourselves we are strong enough and able to handle it, we know deep down we are not.
The beauty of guardrails is that our conscience is tripped when we bump into them. We stop and get back on the road before we go over the cliff. My prayer for you is that you never have to experience financial, relational, or sexual disaster.
So in the area of physical intimacy and sex, what guardrails have you set up in your life? What plan do you have? What pre-choice choice have you already established? When it comes to sex and physical intimacy, this is one of the most powerful, beautiful and destructive desire. If you listen to the podcast, we go over some guardrails that are good for married people and single people to have in their lives.
Remember, no one ever regrets having guardrails. However, people regret it after they have cheated on their spouse, destroyed their marriage, hurt their children, and ruined their reputation.
Will people think you are too extreme? Will people think you are too conservative? Probably! However, those same people will be the ones bashing you over the head when you have gone over the cliff. Trust God. Do what is best for future, your marriage and your health.

Negotiating the best starting salary
25/01/2011Understandably, many people find discussing salaries uncomfortable and embarrassing during an interview. However, most interviewers expect some bartering and, if it motivates you to put more into the job, it is worthwhile for both the applicant and the employer.

I'm off again! I decided to go for a challenge this time, but not restrict myself to finishing the socks within the month. Knowing I was after a challenge, I bought a new book; Sock Knitting Masterclass by Ann Budd. This book has lots of patterns I plan to knit eventually.
I am starting with Terpander. This is the first time I am doing toe-up construction. It is the first time I've used a magic loop on a circular needle. It's the first time I've tried knitting both socks at the same time.
