China Currency Bill
Definition of 'China Currency Bill'
A potential law passed in September 2011 by the U.S. Senate that would add tariffs to countries - most notably China - found to be undervaluing their currency. The China currency bill's intent is to make imports more expensive from these countries, evening the trade deficit and decreasing the countries' unfair economic advantage. It is a controversial bill because China holds enormous economic clout, as it's one of the U.S.'s top trading partners, and also holds a lot of U.S. debt.
Investopedia explains 'China Currency Bill'
There is fear that if the China currency bill passes the House and becomes law, China will respond in kind and spark a trading war with the U.S. and cause another recession. The belief is that if countries, such as China, that artificially peg their currency to the U.S. dollar were to let their currency freely float on the foreign exchange market, their currency would appreciate to reflect their growing economy, making labor and the cost of goods more expensive to import. This would help stem the loss of jobs to countries where production is cheaper.

Customer TuneIn Radio (iPhone Application) Reviews (8)
by - written on 30/06/12, updated on 30/06/12 (Very useful, 203 readings)
INTRODUCTION TuneIn Pro is one of my favourite apps on the Android platform, so when I treated myself to an iPhone on contract, it was one of the first apps I purchased from the App Store it cost 69p. You'll need an iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad running iOS 4 or above, though the stream to AirPlay function requires iOS 4.2 or above. If you plan on listening to the radio using your mobile internet connection, I recommend selecting a 3G provider and a good data plan, but where possible use wi-fi to save your allowance. My review is for TuneIn Pro version 2.6.1 released 1 May 2012 and it's published by TuneIn THE ... Read the complete review

Hello , here with another app review for you guys as they seem to be quite popular. This one is for Tunein Radio which simply brings radio to your Iphone. Bear in mind its a long review so ill sum up here . BUY IT NOW ITS GREAT, more on this below ! :) *Requires internet connection. ===Start up=== The load up for this app is 10 seconds , like my recent gaurdian review , the app loads everything up so a connection then loads the station. After the initial load everything is quick to pop up so finding a station couldnt be easier. Opening up the app greets you with the browse tab. This has the search bar at the top to find a ...

Surprise, surprise here's another iPhone application from me...this time it is the TuneIn Radio App...which allows you to listen to radio, unsurprisingly. Priced at just £1.19, it gives you access to thousands upon thousands of radio stations from around the globe, and all you need to listen is a 3G or wireless signal. Once you've downloaded it and got into it, things can appear a little confusing - there's a list offering you all sorts of things but will probably all give the same result. They are - Browse Local Radio, Browse Recents, RadioTime Talk, RadioTime Sports, RadioTime Music, Browse by Location, Browse by Language. Now, knowing how ... Read the complete review

One of the few things I felt was missing when I got my iPhone was a radio - something which I had got used to on my old Sony Ericsson. Although it comes with a built-in iPod, I tend to listen to the radio more than CDs, so missed being able to do that on the move. This little beauty of an app soon solved that problem. The TuneIn Radio app has received almost universally positive reviews and it's easy to see why. It allows you to listen to hundreds of radio stations from all across the world, on your iPhone. Best of all, you don't need access to a wi-fi network and, for the most part, it works perfectly well over 3G. At first glance, the app is a ... Read the complete review

@ About @ TuneIn Radio pro is 69p (which is what I have) and the lite one is free but you can't record or add custom presets (insert new stations into the app) the app has a map, which you can use to click on points to get local stations for that area. It also automatically collects nearby stations for you just by connecting to WiFi and switching on location services. The app has an integrated radio recorder but you cannot transfer these files to your computer when you save them within the app. You can rename your recording and organise them how you like once they have finished recording. Unfortunately you can only record from one station at a ... Read the complete review

If you kiss a girl and you get those feelings in your down there like when you're kissing a guy does that mean you may be bi? I am not sure but one close friend said it happened to her and now she is wondering. There may be a difference between getting physical and mentally thinking your bi. I am going to try a find out more about it and what it means.
by fashionqn on 12/6/2012 11:23:41 PM
I once had my two bffs over and my sisters had about 4 girls over and my friend and i did an open dare cuz we didn t think it would be so bad. we thought they might have just made us like smell eat others feet or something which was pretty gross to us! LOL. But instead, they dared us t kiss each other! We didnt end up doing it though cuz i luv her as like a sister but not enough to kiss her! We both said that we cant do it becuz we see each other every day! But, if i were u i would just maybe talk it out. ask her if it was as wierd as it was for u!

that would be awful if it spread around the school. One of my friends had the same thing happened to you but it spread around the school. The girl that was really mean saying that she and this girl were dating and that my friend was leisbian. Girls, are you bored out your mind all the time, go to my profile and leave a comment and we can chat.

by hscmith on 8/15/2010 10:10:00 PM
All these people are saying that others that say it's gross are immature but it truly is. The girl who wrote the story was tricked into seeming like she's bi or les, but she did it blindly. The friend manipulated the harmless game and could've even spread nasty rumors about her being bi. And she probably was bi or les and thought that the girl felt something for her and thaat was her way of the first step, but to this girl it had no emotion behind it. If my friend said that I'd say no and ask if she was straight.

Travel Troubles
A Cathay Pacific flight attendant is out of a job after writing on her Facebook page that she wanted to throw coffee in the face of the youngest daughter of Thailand's ousted Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra.
The flight attendant caused a stir in the Thai online communities last week for posting hostile comments about Paetongtarn Shinawatra. She also posted a picture of Paetongtarn's seating number on a Bangkok-to-Hong Kong flight she worked on November 25.
The flight attendant said in her post that she called her personal adviser to ask "if it was all right to throw something on (Paetongtarn) on this flight."
"I discussed with another Thai colleague who didn't like them about going over to ridicule her dad before she steps out of the plane," she wrote. "Paetongtarn, I didn't throw coffee in her face today but she had no clue that I will keep on fighting until your clan can no longer live like fleas on the Thai soil."
Hong Kong-based Cathay Pacific posted Monday on its Thailand Facebook page that the flight attendant is "no longer an employee". It did not release the name of the worker, whose Facebook handle is Honey Lochanachai.
The flight attendant on Monday said on Facebook that she resigned in order to take responsibility.
Thaksin, a divisive figure in Thai politics, was ousted in a 2006 coup and lives in self-imposed exile following a 2008 corruption conviction.
His sister Yingluck has been prime minister since last year, and her opponents say she is Thaksin's proxy. She recently survived a no-confidence vote in parliament and protests organised by Thaksin's opponents.

Positive Experience
Average Interview
I applied in-person and the process took a day - interviewed at Marriott in February 2012.
Interview Details – My initial contact was with the AGM. I was responding to a networking lead. I was given the business card for the sales manager. I made contact and received a phone interview the same day. I scheduled a personal interview the following day. This interview lasted a little over an hour. It involved both the GM and Sales Manager. They did most of the talking and outlined the expectations of the position and the work culture. I believe that this company has very high expectations for the DOS position, and that the work culture is very much like a family.
Interview Question – How would you position yourself to gain access to a decision maker for a national corporation so that you could negotiate a corporate rate for our hotel? Answer Question

Negative Experience
Average Interview
I applied online and the process took 2 months - interviewed at Marriott in August 2010.

Interview Question – How do you feel your last Director did as a leader? View Answer

Neutral Experience
I applied through other source and the process took 5 days - interviewed at Marriott.
Interview Details – I was head hunted for the role so can't help with this one
Interview Question – Nothing unexpected. My results. Answer Question
Negotiation Details – Simple. I asked for more money and they said yes, but there again they did head hunt me!

I was convinced I was immune to all the excitement. This morning, I decided to check out the Royal Channel on YouTube – just to see what Kate's dress was like.
Big mistake.

Workers at the Mammoth dig site in rural Mahaska County were playing a game of "pick up sticks" Saturday morning, except the sticks were mammoth bones.
A group from the Indian Creek Nature Center in Cedar Rapids as well as faculty from William Penn University and Indian Hills Community College, and Iowa State University graduate student Pete Eyheralde along with the Mahaska County Conservation Board Naturalist Laura DeCook were uncovering bones left and right at the dig site.
"They've got about a dozen bones they want to take out," said Dr. Jim North of William Penn University. "This is a very productive site."
North said researchers were trying figure out how much top soil needs to be taken out to extract the bones. He said workers have to dig straight down to fossils instead of digging in from the sides in order to prevent cave-ins.
"It looks like tedious work, but it's exciting," North said. "You uncover a bone a little at a time."
Dave Brenzel of the Indian Creek Nature Center said the volunteers had found a mammoth's lumbar vertebrae.
"We've got a section of lower back that looks associated," he said. "It's not unusual for backbones to be articulated.
"It's the most complete thing we've seen," he added.
Later in the day, workers also found a mammoth tooth from a lower jaw, Brenzel said.
Brenzel said 14 people are working side by side as closely as the fossils they find.
"This area is a game of pick up sticks," he said.
As the dig site has expanded, workers have dug out stair steps to help with removal of debris from the dig site and to mark the limit of where fossils have been found, Brenzel said.
Indian Creek Nature Center Naturalist Jan Aiels said working at the dig site is a wonderful learning experience.
"This is such a unique opportunity for hands-on science," she said. "It's a once in a lifetime opportunity."
"I marvel at the natural history of this county," Brenzel said.
Brenzel said the lands that the county conservation board takes care of includes this site, sand prairies and coal fields.
The mammoth dig site is "a particularly vivid way to grab people's attention," he added.

Bob's Red Mill Old Country Style Muesli Cereal -- 40 oz
No added sugar
This is much healthier than the cereals and it tastes really good. We like to eat this muesli every day with greek yogurt
December 8, 2013
just like being in Europe
During the past 25 years in Germany, we grew to love European style muesli. It is very difficult to find here and we were delighted that Bob's Red Mill Old Country Muesli is as close as it comes to the muesli we ate there. Best of all, it comes in large packages (which Vitacost carries but are rarely found in local stores - even the ones that carry other Bob's products) and we go through a lot of it....quickly.
September 12, 2013
When I received my muesli, I was pleasantly suprised to see how big the bag is. I had never tried it before but it sounded good. I put it overnight in yogurt & it was absolutely delish.
August 22, 2013
The Muesli is really good, especially as suggested by soaking it in yogurt (or I soaked it in soy milk) overnight. I added vanilla protein powder, a couple of Splenda's in the soaking process. I once added scrambled egg whites too, for an extra protein kicker.
June 24, 2013
yummy ! I cook this for breakfast every weekend.
cook this in the microwave with some filtered water in a ceramic dish, and ceramic cover. Add any fruits or goodies you like, such as extra dates, shredded coconut, berries, or pecans. Super Yummy! I cook it in the microwave about 2-3 minutes for two large servings. Let it sit covered at least 15 minutes to cook thoroughly. Add your fresh or frozen berries, and then the pecans to keep them crispy. After it sits, scoop up and serve with almond milk or kirsch, or whatever... The possibilities are endless.

These days eating local and urban agriculture are buzz words for everyone from community activists to city planners. But Burnaby's residents have been backyard farming for generations. From gentleman farmers to market gardeners, from the Oakalla Prison farm to the Chinese-Canadian farms along the Fraser River flats, Burnaby has a rich agricultural history. We invite visitors to make this connection between past and present, and to make it in a hands-on kind of way.
Field to Fork offers kids and adults the chance to muck about in our heritage vegetable patch while learning about Burnaby's farming communities. Participants get to pick plants, pull weeds, take a taste test, and match seeds to full grown veggies in our edible garden. Each participant receives a free carousel ride ticket and a heritage seed package to take home.
This free program runs every Tuesday at 3pm in July and August. Space is limited to 20 participants. Phone ahead to register or register as a drop-in on the day-of (space permitting).
To pre-register call us at 604-297-4565

book the tasting and just enjoy it. have a fight if you get the chance and chat, watch the view and relax.
We stayed two days at Mona, but on Monday & Tuesday when the restaurant was closed, so the wine bar was very handy on the Monday. For lunch we had a cheese platter with three lovely chesses from their excellent selection, and with gluten free biscuits. After an afternoon inside Mona, we returned for dinner which comprised a ham platter... More
On the expensive side, good for the arty crowd with a bit of spare cash. Wine selection very good, food a nice Italian influenced selection of small snacks. It's an in and out cafe/wine bar affair. Very busy when we were there but everyone was having their fill with out any complaints. We enjoyed it.
Top notch service and even better wines. Had one of the finest blancs here in a proper glass. The location is also sublime. Very unique experience. Although in good weather expect this place to be very busy. Look out for live music in the grass on weekends.
Perfect place to hole up after a few hours with the art. Beers and wines are made on the premises. Good fresh simple food, reasonably priced (for Tasmania that is).
Place is fantastic , atmosphere was great. Wine bar very disappointing ordered just over $100 worth of food alone,was barely enough to feed 2 ,smallest serves I've ever seen considering price, this would be ok if the quality was their but unfortunately not. Disappointing!
In our group of four we tasted both beer and wine. Whilst there was a cost of $10 per person, the tasting was free if we purchased a bottle. We found the quantity as well as variety of beer and wine offered substantial and really enjoyed our experience.
Nice food, good service but can be a little loud and overpowering. Ok for a ferry wait but perhaps not a long overdue catch up with a friend. Not a bad place to get to when less crowded
Great views, good wine selection, serving wine before noon - much needed to go through the museum, which was exceedingly frustrating. Not only the art, which was more provocative than artistic, but also the thinghies that would explain what you were looking at - except they seemed to always show something else. Probably one of the least satisfying museums I... More

I am mainly a Sicilian player.. recently though, it has been producing very dry, boring games due to anti-sicilians (Bc4, Bb5+, etc), there are just too many lines for White to follow for me to have an enjoyable game. Therefore, I've decided to learn the French as black!
It's very enjoyable to play so far. I'm about 1600 OTB strength; what books/resources/sites etc would you recommend for learning the opening? Thanks in advance!
EDIT: I don't want any crap about how I should "focus on tactics and strategies".. I'm doing my fair share of all material, please answer my question without criticism.
how about chess.com game explorer
I think the Killer French Dvd's are good and yet accessible.
I'll check them out, thanks
Any other ideas? I'd preferably like to focus on media, I don't absorb information as well from books.
+1 for Killer DVDs. Also "Foxy Openings" has a few good ones - to be honest, even if it's a bit old by now I still think the Daniel King video on the French (Vol 1) is the best beginner-to-advanced introduction to the French I've ever seen. Really good stuff.

Apple's Cook, 'God particle' on Time's list of 2012 notables
Tech luminaries, tech discoveries get spotlight in Time's annual Person of the Year issue
Computerworld - It has been a big year for some tech luminaries, with several of them getting a nod from editors picking Time Magazine's Person of the Year.
Calling him the "architect of the New America," President Barack Obama Wednesday was named Time's Person of the Year.
Meanwhile, the tech industry was well represented in Time's list of influential people of 2012. The list included Apple CEO Tim Cook, Yahoo's Marissa Mayer, Amazon's Jeff Bezos and Google's Larry Page. The magazine also recognized the Higgs boson particle.
Dan Olds, an analyst with The Gabriel Consulting Group, said it's good to see so many people in the technology industry recognized for their accomplishments.
"It's not surprising to see tech industry folks on this list," he said. "Tech companies, and the people who run them, are getting a much larger share of the media spotlight these days because their products touch everyday lives so much more now than in the past."
The average person has developed a strong relationship with their technology, making the people behind iPhones, tablets, apps and online shopping sites increasingly important.
"People are interacting with tech many times a day through map programs, online shopping, social networking, entertainment and other activities," said Olds. "They develop strong feelings about the products they use and the companies that built them."
Apple's Cook was one of four runners-up for the prestigious, annual Person of the Year honor. Cook, who joined Apple in 1998, stepped into the company's top seat in August 2011 due to predecessor Steve Jobs' cancer.
"Tim Cook has the decidedly nontrivial distinction of being the first CEO of Apple since the very first to come to power without blood on his hands," Time wrote. "For most of its history, Apple has had a succession problem: it had no internal mechanism for transferring power from one CEO to the next without descending into civil war. This clearly bothered Steve Jobs, because he spoke to Cook about it shortly before he died."
Time noted that while Cook's tenure as CEO at Apple hasn't been flawless, he appears unintimidated by his role as successor to one of the greatest innovators in history.
Another runner-up was Fabiola Gianotti, a head scientist at CERN, which runs the Large Hadron Collider.
Gianotti is the physicist who presented CERN's preliminary findings on the possible discovery of the elusive Higgs boson particle.
Not to be left out of the mix, Time also tipped its hat at the Higgs boson, affectionately calling it the Particle of the Year.
The Higgs boson, a theoretical sub-atomic particle that is considered to be the reason that everything has mass, has such great mystery and scientific importance that it has been dubbed the "God particle."
The other two runners-up for the Person of the Year title were Malala Yousafzai, a teenage Pakistani girl shot in the head by a Taliban assailant and Mohamed Morsi, Egypt's president.
Other technologists recognized by Time include Jonah Peretti, founder of Buzzfeed and co-founder of Huffington Post and Erik Martin, general manager of Reddit.

Two years ago, we lost our diva of the R&B, Amy Winehouse.There is no talent in the world, that replace the emptiness that Amy left. Gifted with such a delicacy, Amy had a short life, but really intense. I created this look as a tribute, so she will always remain alive in our hearts.
I would like also to thank my friend Breno Cutlet, which made the tattoos on my arm! I love you sooooo!

Not all residents are pleased with the renovations underway at the high-rise apartment building 4701 Willard Ave., Chevy Chase, formerly known as The Irene.
Equity Residential purchased the building from Irene Pollin (wife of Abe Pollin) in April 2012 for $209,325,000 (according to Maryland's real estate database), and started renovations soon after that.
Anonymous sources told Patch that the renovations are creating excess noise (in the form of jackhammering for much of the day) and construction dust.
One anonymous source told Patch that the balcony of that source's apartment has been sealed off for the duration of the renovations. The source can no longer telework from home because the apartment is "unusable" during the day due to the jackhammering.
"As you can imagine, it is not a very pleasant experience, in terms of noise, convenience or aesthetics, but it is a slap in the face" that rates were increased during the construction, the anonymous source continued.
Patch reader Colleen Hodge wrote (in a comment to a previous Patch story on 4701 Willard Ave.) that the "noise level at 4701 Willard Ave for residents is unbearable."
The renovations also are affecting residents of nearby addresses. For example, Twitter user GuiomarOchoa tweeted that "I live on N. Park & am over the renovations!"
Reginald Jetter, division chief of customer services for the county's permitting services department, says that the department has gotten a few complaints from residents of the building about noise and construction-related dust, and that the department is working with Equity Residential to address the issues.
The renovations are being made because both the garage and facade of the building were in disrepair when Equity Residential purchased the property, Jetter told Patch.
The Department of Permitting Services directed Equity Residential to speed up its efforts to rehabilitate the facade, as—before the renovations began—some bricks were about to fall out of the facade, Jetter said.
"That's why their doing the renovation," Jetter said. The new owners determined that repairs needed to be made, and the engineers determined that the structural integrity of the building was worse than previously thought, he added.
Last Friday, Jetter was scheduled to visit an apartment to take a reading of the construction noise level in one of the apartments.
Also last Friday, Patch requested copies of the work permits from the county under the Freedom of Information Act.

Duncan E. Slade
PARIS — Duncan E. Slade passed away on June 10, 2013 in South Paris. A well-known painter and artist, Mr. Slade's endless energy and enthusiasm have been an inspiration to many. His theme song was Frank Sinatra's, "I Did It My Way."
He was born in Atlanta, GA on April 3, 1918. His father was a Congregational minister who soon moved the family to Kansas then to the South Side of Chicago where they served the poor during the Great Depression. Mr. Slade graduated from Macalester College in St. Paul, MN and four months before Pearl Harbor, entered the U.S. Marine Corps reaching the rank of major. He was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross for heroism as a pilot in the South Pacific, flying supplies to Guadalcanal and Bougainville and flying out the wounded. After the war he worked for 25 years at Uniroyal in Naugatuck, CT then found his true calling as an art teacher, the vocation that eventually brought him to Oxford Hills Jr. High where he taught from 1974-1983, inspiring many students and earning a teacher of the year award.
Mr. Slade is survived by four children, Rachel Boyle (Sean), Duncan W. Slade (Gayle Fraas), Diane Slade and Donny Slade-Cohen; four grandchildren and two great-grandchildren. He was predeceased by a son, Eliot Slade.
A remembrance gathering will be held on Saturday, August 10, between the hours of 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. at The McLaughlin Garden and Homestead, 97 Main Street, South Paris. The family suggests donations in his memory to L.O.O.K./Oxford Hill School District, 1570 Main St., Suite 11, Oxford, ME 04270.

With spring spreading like a bag of spilled gravy, now is the ideal time to throw open the windows and get home-care projects underway. Pick up a Stanley six-piece screwdriver set for $6.99, a VPT rip hammer for $8.49, and a whole bunch of screws, anchors, and bolts (prices vary), and you'll be ready to finally mount every buffalo nickel and steel penny in your coin collection. Illuminate the newfound décor with a 12-pack of Ace light bulbs ($21.48), the better to see by as you make use of a Purdy four-piece premium paint-tray kit ($19.99). If you need to match paint to a favorite coverlet or choose a hue that complements a pleather recliner, each store offers a paint-matching service free of charge. Get keys made for $1.99 a pop, or clean a barnacle-encrusted carpet with the help of a carpet-cleaning machine ($30 a day to rent).
In place of the flickering florescent lights common to big-box grocery stores, sunshine illuminates the foods at Fresh from D'Vine, a farmer-focused indoor market in Salinas. Vibrant, in-season fruits and vegetables form little assemblages on wooden tables, as do bouquets of fresh-cut flowers. Most of the market's offerings come from growers in Monterey and neighboring counties, which helps to keep the store's carbon footprint to a minimum while ensuring that the freshness of its goods are at a maximum. Though the selection of produce changes with the seasons, some customer favorites include strawberries, artichokes, lettuce, heirloom tomatoes, raspberries, broccoli, and peaches.
The Garrone family, now in its fourth generation, has been selling their homegrown organic mushrooms at Bay Area farmers' markets for over fifty years. Proudly keeping the tradition alive, they ship orders in from their own 60,000-square foot farm in Monterey Bay, where the steady ocean breeze and northern coastal fog preserve ideal growing conditions.
In addition to filling up market stands, they stock their storefront operation, Far West Fungi, with 42 varieties of mushroom. They also line the shelves with exotic food products such as saffron tagliatelle, truffle honey, domestic fennel pollen, and Tahitian vanilla bean. Here, customers can load up on specialty mushrooms in person or opt for next day air delivery via the online shop. The internet store also allows shoppers to peruse all manner of truffle-related products, including oils, sauces, and oversized foam fingers that read "down with morels".
Monterey Bay Aviation's instructors combine more than 18,000 logged flight hours to teach amateur aviators the principles of piloting. In the discovery flight lesson, soon-to-be-sky-people will first get acquainted with the surrounding Monterey Peninsula Airport in a brief facility tour. Learners will then meet with a pilot, who will explain the major parts of the Cessna 172 Skyhawk, debrief with a pre-flight checklist, and teach mandatory secret handshakes. After a quick weather briefing, the student will plop down on the pilot seat next to their instructor, kick-start the engines, learn how to taxi the craft, and perform a run-up. Finally, with the client behind the knobs, together the co-pilots take to the skies for about 45 minutes to revel in the panoramic local scenery and the assistance of an in-flight genie. Once grounded, the aeronaut will dish out post-flight details and future flight training options, such as official programs or investments in kite-suits.

Ace and Two of Wands
This week, I've knocked out the first two numbered cards from the suit of wands, and did the second model shoot. I was hoping to get a third card finished by the end of the week, but the Three of Wands is still in progress.
The Ace of Wands
The Ace represents the conceptual element of fire in it's most pure and primitive form. It's about passion, will, and idealism - but it isn't even an idea yet. Just raw potential energy. That energy becomes developed, expressed and then over-expressed through the later numbers, but at first it's all light and possibility. I've overlaid the wand I designed for this suit over the Statue of Liberty's torch - it seemed basically perfect, as a living part of New York that is both an image of literal fire as well as an instantly recognizable symbol of hope and promise. I've deliberately played around here with some of the more geometric and graphic elements that I used in earlier cards but started to come away from more recently.
The Two of Wands
This card is titled "Dominion" in the Thoth tarot - a word with some interesting connotations. The Two of Wands is about taking the raw energy of the Ace, and turning it towards the will to succeed...or perhaps the will to dominate others. The fire has changed from an uncontrolled flame into a focused tool, but it can as easily become a weapon. This card depicts an equestrian statue of Teddy Roosevelt that currently stands outside the American Museum of Natural History (incidentally a short walk from my apartment.) It's..well, it basically depicts President Roosevelt heroically astride his horse, flanked by two shirtless men apparently carrying his luggage for him (I understand they were intended to appear as his guides). One Native American and the other African. Once you pay attention to it, the intended message seems to be a lot less about the president, and a lot more about which group of people is in charge here. So, I decided to take the reference photo from an angle that completely obscured Mr. President and instead highlighted his majestic steed's impressive undercarriage. The card's primary color is the white marble of Ancient Rome and Washington DC.
Janet Bruesselbach also stopped by on Monday to model as the sexy Princess of Wands - more on that card soon, as I'll be getting started on it shortly.
