Denver Republicans reject Romer attack on city pay raises
Chris Romer's repeated criticism of Michael Hancock's vote on pay raises for elected officials struggled for traction at last night's debate before a crowd of Republicans and conservatives.
Conversations and interviews with event organizers and attendees suggest Romer's pay-raise complaint fell flat – and risked hurting his credibility with the crowd.
As The Post's Anthony Cotton reports today:
A largely civil discourse on issues such as medical marijuana and attracting business to Denver turned sharply Wednesday night when mayoral candidates Chris Romer and Michael Hancock traded barbs regarding their campaign strategies.
The exchanges during the debate, sponsored by Denver County Republicans at West High School, were set against the backdrop of events earlier in the day: The Romer campaign released a commercial criticizing Hancock for being part of a City Council that voted Denver's next mayor and council, among others, a pay raise in the face of the city's looming $100 million budget deficit. About the same time, Hancock was receiving an endorsement from six members of the council.
Romer criticized the pay raises several times Wednesday night. After he did so, Hancock explained the requirement the council is under to set salaries according to a predetermined time table.

Protective Technology is the sole Australian distributor of Ultra-Fresh performance antimicrobial.
We supply and manufacture a range of products that provide sanitizing and disinfectant properties to surfaces such as walls and floors by including our actives in paints and coatings or other finished products such as plastics (toilet seats and taps and door handles) as well and soon will supply hospital grade disinfectants for cleaning floors and special antibacterial hand gels for use in hospitals and other facilities.
A new target market. The purpose behind the word Hygienelock is to inform the public, when they are either entering, using or leaving a room that the room has been fully protected by the Hygienelock suite of products "Hygienically Sealed by Hygienelock". The aim is to instill confidence and reassure the public that the room, for example, a washroom, or hospital ward, is being fully maintained and germ free even between cleans!!
We need a logo that will effectively represent Hygienelock. It needs to be powerful and appealing and must allow for the individual to understand what Hygienelock represents without the need to read about it in too great a detail (how long does a person stare at a washroom wall or door?)
Hygienelock will be promoted within the room itself. The individual will learn about it whilst using the facility. Positive word of mouth - due to the continued upkeep of the Hygienelock will be its biggest asset.
To gain an additional insight into the concept behind Hygienelock please visit the link below on our Ultra-Fresh website which provides visual representation in what we plan to achieve. http://ultra-fresh.com.au/applicati…/washrooms

So you finally grasp the fees many airlines charge for things such as extra suitcases and added legroom? Well, before you fly off on vacation this summer, be aware there's at least one more surcharge many travelers face once they reach their destination: the hotel "resort fee."
Typically ranging from just a few dollars to $30 a day, these catch-all hotel fees are catching on in popular travel destinations nationwide.
Segregating the cost of certain amenities and creating a separate charge for them allows hotels to keep their basic room rates as low as possible, an important consideration, given that the Internet now allows travelers to compare hundreds of hotel prices in seconds using a computer, smartphone or digital tablet.
But these resort fees, which might cover things such as Internet access, a fitness center or pool, usually are mandatory and, if combined with a daily parking fee, can increase the cost of a vacation or business trip by hundreds of dollars a week.
"Call the hotel directly and ask," advises Anne Banas, executive editor of SmarterTravel.com, a travel-resource website. Added fees, she said, are "definitely becoming a problem for more and more travelers."
In Orlando, Fla., one of the most popular destinations in the country, the trophy for biggest resort fee, $30 a day, goes to Nickelodeon Suites Resort, according to FeeZing.com, an upstart Internet site that has begun tracking such fees. Bill Maloney, the site's founder, started by focusing on the nation's two largest hotel markets, Las Vegas and Orlando. The site also compiles fees charged by the major U.S. airlines.
"Even smaller hotels or less-expensive hotels, where you wouldn't expect to see it, you're still seeing some fees," said Maloney, whose site collects fee data from hotels and uses "secret shoppers" to verify the amounts. "In a way, you can't blame them, because people will go for the lower (room) rate."
At the Nick hotel, the fee includes parking as well as local telephone calls, Internet access, live entertainment and the use of an on-site water park, a hotel spokesman said.
At a hotel such as the Waldorf Astoria Orlando, the resort fee and a self-parking charge can add as much as $41 a day to the cost of a room, according to FeeZing. At Universal Orlando's three hotels, there is no resort fee on the bill, but separate charges for the Internet and parking still add $28 a day to the cost of a stay.
The federal government, which recently cracked down on airlines for failing to disclose certain surcharges when advertising their fares, already is casting a suspicious eye on resort fees.
In November, the Federal Trade Commission sent a letter to 22 hotel chains warning that their online-reservation systems may violate the law because they provide a "deceptively low estimate" of the price consumers can expect to pay for a room. The agency strongly encouraged the companies to review their websites to ensure that quoted room rates include all mandatory fees.

When different asset classes display varying degrees of serial correlation, the investment horizon may substantially alter optimized mixed-asset portfolio allocations.

Mental illness stigma grows in wake of Conn. shootings
- One-quarter of Americans have a mental disorder in any given year%2C says psychiatric group
- Mental health experts have tried to reduce the stigma surrounding the illness
- Ecperts say most people with mental illness can recover if they get help
People usually don't have much of a problem telling others they have diabetes or heart disease. But admitting they have mental illness is a different story.
A stigma continues to surround mental illness, and some advocates say it's been strengthened in the wake of the Newtown, Conn., school shootings, which caused many to connect mental illness to violence.
"People assume all violent acts are perpetrated by people with mental illness," said George Hersch, president of the National Alliance on Mental Illness' Louisville chapter.
A recent national survey published in January in the New England Journal of Medicine found that 46 percent agreed that "people with serious mental illness are, by far, more dangerous than the general population." Only a third of respondents said they would be willing to have a person with a serious mental illness as a neighbor.
In reality, studies show that the mentally ill commit only a small portion of violent acts. A 2006 study in the American Journal of Psychiatry, for example, concluded that patients with severe mental illness, as identified by hospital admissions, committed about 5 percent of all violent crimes.
"About one-quarter of all Americans have a mental disorder in any given year, and only a very small percentage of them will ever commit violent crimes," the American Psychiatric Association's president, Dr. Dilip Jeste, said in a statement in December.
A 2003 article in the journal World Psychiatry echoed those sentiments, pointing out that the major factors leading to violence include youth, being male and lower socioeconomic status.
"Members of the public exaggerate both the strength of the association between mental illness and violence and their own personal risk," concluded Canadian author Heather Stuart. "...Research supports the view the mentally ill are more often victims than perpetrators of violence."
Several families initially agreed to speak with The Courier-Journal about their struggles with mental health care for violent family members, but then backed out, partly because of patients' fears about being identified as mentally ill.
Mental health advocates say they've tried to reduce the stigma around mental illness by reminding people that it is a common, treatable medical problem.
"Mental illness is not a personality defect, and it's not caused by poor parenting," said Ramona Johnson, chief executive officer of Bridgehaven Mental Health Services in Louisville.
According to federal health officials and NAMI, 57.7 million Americans will experience a mental health disorder in a given year, and one in 17 American adults lives with a serious mental illness such as schizophrenia, major depression or bipolar disorder.
The federal government's National Survey on Drug Use and Health found that from 2009 through 2011, about 20 percent of Americans had a mental illness.
Overall, experts said, most people with mental illness can recover if they get the right help. "With treatment," Johnson said, "there's an 80-85 percent recovery rate."
But some sufferers forgo treatment because of the stigma.
NAMI says fewer than a third of adults and half of children with a diagnosable mental disorder receive mental health services in a given year. Some people with mental illnesses instead isolate themselves or find that others abandon them, experts said.
Johnson said she hopes for a day when society views mental illness as the medical condition it is — a condition as real and heartbreaking as Parkinson's disease or cancer.
"With mental illness, it's not just a body system that's affected. It's their sense of who they are," she said. "It's the whole person that's affected."

A Trace-based Just-in-time Compiler for Haskell
Thomas Schilling
Did you ever wonder why GHC didn't optimise away that one dictionary lookup inside your critical loop? Couldn't get GHC to inline just the right amount without blowing up compilation time or code size? Got confused why fusion didn't happen? Got annoyed that you had to recompile all your libraries just to turn on profiling?
All these are problems because GHC is a static compiler. To explore whether these problems can be fixed by performing optimisations at runtime I implemented Lambdachine, a prototype trace-based just-in-time (JIT) compiler for Haskell. A JIT compiler knows where a program spends most of its time and optimises those parts aggressively. A trace-based JIT compiler (as used by Dalvik and LuaJIT 2) is naturally interprocedural, has a short warm-up period, and short compilation pauses. It also fits well with Haskell's execution model. Lambdachine uses GHC as a front-end, thus we could potentially take advantage of both static and dynamic optimisations.
I will give a short demo and discuss what works well and what doesn't work so well in a trace-based JIT compiler.

Rebecca Romijn's Workout and Diet
Not every celebrity mom magically morphs back into a size 2 within weeks of having a baby. Actress Rebecca Romijn readily admits that it was a struggle to drop the more than 60 pounds she gained with twin daughters Dolly and Charlie, now 3. "Losing that weight was probably the hardest thing I've ever done in my life," says Rebecca, 39, who stars in the Tyler Perry comedy Good Deeds. "I had to change the way I worked out, the way I ate — everything."
As you see on these pages, she succeeded brilliantly. In fact, Rebecca says she is fitter now than ever. "I'm stronger, I have more energy, and I feel better, too," she says, settling into a banquette at the London NYC hotel in New York City to share the secrets of her success with FITNESS. "I was proud to get back into a bikini!"
Okay, we're dying to know: How did you finally lose the baby weight?
Everything I did before I got pregnant — like Pilates, which I had done for about 14 years — didn't work anymore. I had to find a completely different way to challenge my body. A friend suggested I try Bikram yoga. At first the idea of doing a 90-minute workout in a 105-degree room sounded like torture. But the sweating is exactly what I became addicted to. My body changed dramatically almost immediately. Within three classes I noticed less belly fat. My knees and legs are stronger than ever now; my arms have definition for the first time in my life; and my posture is much, much better. I also feel completely energized from all of the deep breathing. I leave class relieved of any anxiety I went in with, and the sweating and detoxifying make my skin feel great. I can't recommend it enough.
What's your typical workout week like?
I do Bikram three days a week, and I run after my twins every day — a workout in itself! I was doing yoga five days a week, but then I started to realize that my body was fatigued and my back was hurting. I think it's important to listen to your body and know when you're overdoing it.
Rebecca Romijn's Bikram Yoga Workout
Do you feel guilty leaving your girls to work out?
That's been a huge challenge since I became a mom. Mother's guilt is no joke! I feel it every time I leave them to go exercise. Now that the girls are in preschool, it's easier. I go as soon as I drop them off at school. As a mom it's very important to take care of yourself physically and mentally. You're no good to anyone unless you do. There are days when I rush out to a yoga class just as I'm starting to feel like I might be losing my mind.
How did you change your diet?
After eating more throughout my pregnancy and while I was nursing for eight months, I forgot how much I was supposed to eat to keep my weight in check. Having a little bit of chocolate after dinner was turning into too much chocolate every night after dinner — or too much wine or too many pancakes. So I went on a major diet about eight months ago. I cut out starch, dairy, fat, red meat, alcohol, and sugar.
What could you eat?
Lean fish, lots of sashimi, spinach, salad with lemon juice and salt and pepper, and chicken breast. Eventually I started having red meat again, and that's when I got the biggest energy surge.
What was the toughest thing for you to give up?
Just being on a diet was weird for me. I had never been on one in my life, and suddenly I was counting calories and measuring my food. Cutting out sugar was definitely the hardest. The first week I thought I was going to die. The cravings were bad. But after that, it was easy.
Did your husband, Jerry, go on the diet with you?
No. He was heading to New York to start rehearsals for a role on Broadway. That actually made it easier for me. Every meal with Jerry [O'Connell] includes wine and dessert, which I love. Before we had kids, I gained weight from eating like that. But I was happy and in love, and my clothes still fit. Jerry liked how I looked. He's very much a "there's more to hold on to" kind of guy.
Do you and Jerry work out together?
We love to take long bike rides. We have a tandem bike, and we go up in the hills near our home.
Do you two get competitive when it comes to sports?
Jerry is very show-offy when he's good at something, and he's pretty much good at everything. But he's been doing Bikram yoga for about a year now, and he isn't very flexible. I'm happy there's one thing I'm better at than he is.

Rebecca Reveals...
The secret to a killer workout: "For cardio, you have to have good music. I love being on the elliptical and playing my music loud enough that I can't hear myself breathing. If you hear how heavily you're breathing, you won't push yourself to go harder."
My worst excuse: "I used to blame my clumsiness on being tall, but now I realize I was clumsy because I wasn't strong. Today I see a huge difference in my balance."
If I didn't work out: "I'd be a depressed, miserable person."
Why I'll never pose for Playboy, no matter how many times they ask me: "I don't want to dis the magazine or the beautiful women in it — some of whom are my friends — but I would never do it. And now that I'm a mom of two girls, I definitely would never go that route. Maybe it's the turtleneck and long johns-wearing girl in me who likes to be covered up, but I'll always say no!"

Can Harrison twins lift Kentucky to national championship?
Because the ending has now been written differently, the journey will not be remembered the same way. But until the NCAA Tournament, the marriage between Kentucky basketball and twin guards Aaron and Andrew Harrison had often been awkward to the point of being uncomfortable.
As the Wildcats' season first failed to meet expectations, then spiraled into potential disaster, the 19-year old twins made for easy scapegoats and learned early on that the fishbowl of Kentucky basketball is as unrelenting as it can be rewarding.
"People don't understand, unless you're in the locker room, how much stuff we hear about us; how we don't love each other and we're not that good individually," Andrew Harrison said. "But now we're just happy to be here."
MARCH MADNESS:Your guide to the Final Four
As much as their play was scrutinized and criticized during Kentucky's first 31 games, there is no bigger reason for the Wildcats' surge into the Final Four than the emergence of the Harrison Twins as elite playmakers and clutch shooters.
Just three weeks ago, as they struggled to mesh with the rest of Kentucky's roster and make winning plays late in games, the pair from just outside Houston had come symbolize the pitfalls of building a program around freshmen. Since then, they have fueled one fist-pumping, celebratory moment after another and salvaged their reputations as top-10 recruits.
And even if Kentucky falls short of a national title, Aaron's contested 3-pointer with 2.6 seconds left last Sunday to beat Michigan, 75-72, will be remembered forever as one of the great shots in the history of its program.
WISCONSIN BADGERS:Bo Ryan's system suited for NCAA tournament
FLORIDA GATORS:Billy Donovan has his team in perfect position
"They're great players," senior Jon Hood said. "They come up big at big times and they're so zoned in right now and honed in on what we need them to do, it's nuts. It's crazy."
Though both Harrison twins posted solid numbers during the regular season, their ups and downs were magnified because they accounted for 34 percent of Kentucky's field goal attempts and they came to college with a reputation – fair or not – of being difficult to play with.
That criticism wasn't aimed at their character because, by all accounts, they were well-liked as teammates on the AAU circuit and at Kentucky. But they were far more used to being on the court with each other than a team full of talented players, and that was a chemistry challenge it took coach John Calipari all season to solve.
"The biggest thing we had to help them with was body language," Calipari said. "As that changed, they became different players. The second thing was, we had to define the roles better, and I did a poor job of that until late in the year, by the end of the year. I can't believe it. I was angry when I realized what I had done."
BRACKET BRIEFING:Final Four's 10 most important players
The turning point came when Calipari urged Andrew Harrison, the more natural point guard, to take a greater leadership role in the offense heading into the SEC Tournament and not worry as much about scoring.
Though they can both handle the ball, having Andrew initiate the offense more often allowed the rest of the team – including Aaron – to play to their strengths.
In addition to 12.3 points, Andrew is averaging 5.3 assists four tournament games, up from 3.9 in the regular season. And Aaron, a 32.6% shooter from 3-point range entering the NCAA Tournament, has made 13 of 24.
"It just shows how blessed we are," Andrew said. "All the stuff we went through and all the stuff I went through individually was just preparing us for right now."
They've also factored into pretty much every important basket Kentucky has made in this stretch. In both the Elite Eight victory against Michigan and the Sweet 16 win against Louisville, one of the Harrisons either made or assisted on seven of the Wildcats' last 10 field goals.
"Especially when you've got a lot of new guys, you have to figure out how to use them, how to play with each other and everybody's starting to peak at the right time," sophomore forward Alex Poythress said. "They're just focusing on their roles, attacking the rim when the defensive gives it to you, and when they don't, pull it out and run our offense."

My Kind of Town
(1) Primm's Deputy has been captured by Powder Gangers in Bison Steve and needs to be rescued. (2) Beagle has been rescued from Bison Steve. Talk to him about protecting the town. (3) Beagle wants a new sheriff for Primm. He suggested an ex-sheriff at NCRCF and the NCR as potential candidates. (4) Hayes and the NCR will protect Primm if they get some additional military personnel. (5) Major Knight promised additional troops for Primm. Speak to Hayes about NCR protection for Primm.
Important Items...[edit]
This side quest is somewhat intertwined with events that occur during the primary mission known as They Went That-a-Way . That's a lengthy mission indeed, but at one point in particular during your quest, you'll come across the missing deputy of Primm, a man named Beagle. If you successfully release Beagle, that's all the better, since he's intimately involved in this side quest. At any time after that, you can head back to the Vikki and Vance Casino in Primm, where Deputy Beagle hangs out with some old friends. Speaking with him and Johnson Nash will alert you to the fact that Primm is in dire need of a new sheriff. Why Beagle can't step up and be sheriff is beyond anyone's comprehension, but nonetheless, a new sheriff is needed, and it'll be up to you to help them find one.
There are actually a few ways to complete the task at hand. In fact, with a decent Science skill or some other electronic items in your inventory, you can actually speak with the robotic museum curator within the casino, Primm Slim, and reprogram him to become the sheriff straight-away. This will quickly, easily and humorously end this side quest. But in many ways, this is also the cheap way out (and in other respects, many might not have the Science skill nor the items to reprogram him). So what do you do if you don't want Primm Slim to be the sheriff? Well, as Johnson Nash and Deputy Beagle tell you, the NRC folk on the outskirts of town might be able to help. And then, there's a man being held by the NCR who may be a good sheriff, too. Well, let's get to it, and see what we can sort out.
You likely ran into NCR soldiers on your way into town, but if you head towards the southwest once outside of Primm (but still within its outer walls and fences), you'll find a pair of tents tucked into a corner. It's here that you can find some NCR soldiers that will actually speak with you. Outside of the tent, you'll run into Sergeant McGee, who won't have much to say to you. But he'll tell you that Lieutenant Hayes, who is inside one of those two tents, will have more to say. Speak with Hayes inside of his tent, and you'll learn about the plight of the NCR here. Their main task is to protect the interstate from the escaped convicts (Powder Gangers) that have been dwelling in this locale. But he promises that if you can find him more troops -- perhaps another squad -- he can split his manpower between protecting the interstate from the Powder Gangers, and taking over the protection of the town of Primm as well.
To do this, Hayes recommends that you head southwest of town, to a location known as the Mojave Outpost. Here, you should be able to find more NCR representatives that may be able to give Hayes the soldiers he needs, and thus solve everyone's problems at once. (Do keep in mind that you could alternately head to the NCR Correctional Facility northeast of town, attempting to get the NCR to part ways with one of their prisoners who would apparently make a really good sheriff. That option isn't covered here, but you can feel free to take that route if you'd like. Just keep in mind that the NCR may not be happy with you when all is said and done.) As you head in a southwesterly direction from Primm, expect to run into two separate locations apart from the Mojave Outpost. You should be able to add both the Nevada Highway Patrol Station and the Nipton Road Reststop to your map.
En route towards the Mojave Outpost, you will run into some enemies. You may run into Powder Gangers, or even Jackal Gangers. So be ready to take those foes out when they make themselves seen. Additionally, enemies like Feral Ghouls may attack as well. One near-certainty is that you'll likely encounter Radscorpions, and perhaps even Bark Scorpions, so keep on the lookout for those as well. You'll know you're getting close to the Mojave Outpost when some gigantic statues of two men shaking hands appear on a hill in the distance. Head towards those statues (which represent a peace agreement between a rogue group and the NCR), and you'll run smack-dab into the entrance to the Mojave Outpost.
Now, there's a lot to see and do in the Mojave Outpost. There's not exactly a lot to find, but there are actually plenty of people with which to speak. There are only two buildings in the outpost that can actually be explored. One is the troop barracks. Head there first, and you'll find a couple of people worth speaking to. The woman behind the counter, Lacey, will give you some information and offer to buy and sell some goods with you. There's also a woman at the bar named Cass. Speaking with her at length should net you the Side Quest known as Heartache by the Number . So while that won't be covered here, it will be elsewhere. Speak with her to earn it if you're interested.
On the roof of the barracks, you'll find another woman known as Ghost. Speaking with her at length will open up the Side Quest known as Keep Your Eyes on the Prize . Indeed, if you already visited Nipton and ran into the Legion there, then this Side Quest will conclude as quickly as it begins. Either way, with all of that done, there's nothing left to do but to head into the primary building. When you do, you'll run into a man at the front counter named Major Knight. This is the man you need to speak with about getting the NCR troops at Primm some much-needed reinforcements. He's not entirely hard to convince, and you can even do so in more than one way. Once you've convinced him to send reinforcements to Primm, there's nothing left to do but to return to Primm yourself (though you should keep in mind that by speaking with Major Knight's superior, Ranger Jackson, you'll be able to undertake another Side Quest, this one known as Can You Find it in Your Heart? ).
You can quick travel back to Primm at your earliest convenience, and then return to the tents at the southwestern edge of town. Once there, head back inside Lieutenant Hayes' tent and speak with him about your conversation with Major Knight back at the outpost. When you tell him that Knight has sent more troops, Hayes will respond that he already heard the news. In return for getting him reinforcements, he has agreed to take Primm into his protectorate. However, the citizens of Primm will now have to register with the NCR, pay taxes, and all the rest. Nonetheless, this is a better situation than you found them in. Agree to the terms, and this side quest will successfully conclude.

Ten things we learned from Marshall Henderson's incredible comments
Charlie Riedel/AP
Marshall Henderson didn't disappoint when he spoke with reporters at the NCAA tournament. The animated Ole Miss star held court in Kansas City on Thursday, dishing about his antics, the haters and his ultimate goal for March. Though his comments from the locker room didn't contain any overt digs to SEC coaches or Gator chomps, it was still a tour de force befitting the new king of the big dance.
1. He likes to enter in style.
"What up, y'all?"
That's how Henderson greeted the assembled reporters. Coincidentally, that was Charles Dickens' second choice for how to begin A Tale of Two Cities.
2. He's a Duke fan.
"I've been a Duke fan since my dad ever told me anything about basketball. It was all about Duke, Duke, Duke. I love the way they play."
Can you imagine how amazing it would have been for Marshall Henderson to play for Duke? Seriously, I'm asking, because my brain just short circuited while trying to comprehend that scenario. He'd have been so hated, he'd have made Christian Laettner seem like Mr. Rogers.
3. He's not a math fan.
Henderson was asked whether his antics are calculated.
"I guess. I don't know. I'm not real good at math.… Other than two, plus three. I know that one well."
4. He knows college basketball stats, sort of.
"I know [Wisconsin has] got, like, the 10th-best defense or something. But we also know that Florida and Alabama have better defenses than them. I don't know.
In scoring defense, Florida ranks third in the NCAA, Wisconsin is 10th and Alabama is 22nd. In Henderson's defense, he's not "real good at math."
5. He doesn't read what's written about him, unless his friends make him.
"Sometimes, my friends make me read it. They're like, 'Dude, look at this!' … I don't know. It's pretty funny. If anything, it's just funny. Me and a couple of my friends, two of my really good friends, Meghan and Mary Margaret, I always go over to their apartment because that's where I can just over there and just not have to worry about anything. But they're even pulling stuff up."
I don't know what's so amusing about Marshall dropping the names of Meghan and Mary Margaret, but it is. It totally, totally is. I wonder if they have other friends named Matt, Mike, Melinda and Melanie?
6. He has embraced the role of the villain.
"I guess so. I don't really have a choice, do I?"
The transcript doesn't say whether Henderson smiled like the Cheshire Cat after delivering that line, but I'd like to think he did.
7. The Gator Chomp was "out of fun."
"I was just clapping … really wide."
The transcript doesn't say whether Henderson smiled like the Cheshire Cat after delivering this line either, but I'm still going to assume he did.
8. If I gave you five guesses to name Henderson's favorite NBA players, you'd only need to use two.
"[AAU basketball] got me into head bobbing and trash-talking kind of stuff. And my favorite players in the NBA all do that stuff, like J.R. Smith. People like that. JaVale McGee. I love those kinds of players. They can put a crowd in the arena, sell some tickets. … That's what it's about."
If you Google "NBA knucklehead," three of the first four results feature JaVale McGee. It's sort of amazing he didn't choose Andray Blatche too. Since he likes the NBA guys with swag, he probably liked cocky college players too, like J.J. Redick, for example.
9. He also likes J.J. Redick.
"He was a pretty good player. I've got the most respect for him because he went to the league and kind of changed his game a little bit from what he was."
10. Winning isn't the only thing on his mind this March.
"I'm trying to get paid here soon because I'm tired of doing all this stuff for free. And this is where you make your money, the NCAA tournament."
Go get yours, Marshall Henderson. But please hire an accountant if, and when, you get paid.

text: vga_setchipset(3) Svgalib User Manual vga_setchipset(3) NAME vga_setchipset - force chipset SYNOPSIS #include <vga.h> void vga_setchipset(int chipset); DESCRIPTION Force detection of a chipset (when chipset detection fails). vga_setchipset(VGA) can be useful if the chipset specific stuff or the SVGA detection stuff gives problems. However, at first the automatic detection should work well, and if not a specific chipset can be forced from /etc/vga/libvga.config. Because of that, void vga_setchipset(int chipset) should probably never be used by applications. If used nevertheless, it should be called directly before vga_init(3). As of now the following values are defined for chipset: UNDEFINED This is the default and specifies autodetection. VGA A plain VGA card, not that the SVGA must behave like an ordinary SVGA card then which will probably mean it is in an ordinary (25x80) textmode. ET4000 Tseng ET4000/ET4000W32(i/p) cards. CIRRUS Cirrus Logic GD542x/3x cards. TVGA8900 Trident TVGA 8900C/9000 (and possibly also 8800CS/8900A/B) cards. OAK Oak Technologies OTI-037/67/77/87 cards. EGA An ordinary EGA card. The notes about VGA apply. S3 An S3 base card. ET3000 Tseng ET3000 cards. MACH32 A card (from ATI or not) based on the ATI Mach32 chipset. GVGA6400 A Genoa(?) GVGA6400 card. ARK ARK Logic ARK1000PV/2000PV cards. ATI An ATI SVGA (VGA Wonder and friends) card. This does not (necessarily) include the newer cards (usually called Mach something). ALI An ALI2301 based card.

Dorothy Ellis is the latest to be ensnared in a bid-rigging probe at an Army base in Kuwait.
A senior employee of a Defense Department contractor pleaded guilty this week to playing a role in a bribery and bid-rigging conspiracy at a U.S. Army base in Kuwait -- an investigation that has led to the arrest of 15 public and private sector officials.
Dorothy Ellis, 53, of Texas City, Texas, admitted in U.S. District Court that she helped bribe a pair of Army procurement officials to win lucrative contracts for her boss' companies. In exchange, Ellis received a $100,000 bonus, Justice Department officials said.
Ellis pleaded guilty to one count of bribery conspiracy and agreed to forfeit $360,000 --the total amount of the payoffs -- to the government. She also faces five years in prison and a $250,000 fine when she is sentenced on Dec. 1.
According to court documents, Ellis worked for ex-Defense contractor Terry Hall at two of his companies, Freedom Consulting and Catering Co. and Total Government Allegiance. As the businesses' most senior employee, Ellis served as the liaison between Hall and Army contracting officials stationed at Camp Arifjan in Kuwait.
Between 2004 and 2007, Hall's companies held a blanket purchase agreement -- essentially a charge card set up with certain vendors with which agencies purchase supplies on as-needed basis -- with the Army to deliver bottled water to Camp Arifjan.
Prosecutors said Hall won purchases off the BPA by paying bribes to two Army contracting officers. Maj. James Momon was paid approximately $330,000 while Maj. Christopher Murray received roughly $30,000, according to court documents.
In exchange for the payments, Momon allegedly arranged for the Army to pay Hall's companies more than $6.4 million through the bottled water BPA. Murray, meanwhile, helped Total Government Allegiance win a contract to build a security fence at the Army base, court documents indicated.
Ellis admitted to providing Momon and Murray with information, including personal identification numbers and online passwords that allowed them to access secret bank accounts established on their behalf in the Philippines, prosecutors said. The accounts served as a conduit for Hall and others to transfer bribe payments to the contracting officers.
Prosecutors said Ellis also obtained confidential Army contract pricing information from Momon designed to give Hall an unfair advantage in the bidding process for an ice contract from the Army.
The Kuwait contracting office has been a focal point of investigations of procurement violations in recent years. To date, 15 individuals have been charged and 13, including Hall, Momon and Murray, have pleaded guilty. Hall and Momon are awaiting sentencing while Murray was sentenced in December 2009 to five years and nine months in prison.
The alleged ringleader of the operation, former Army Maj. John Cockerham, was sentenced last December to more than 17 years in prison and ordered to pay $9.6 million in restitution.
Hall's co-defendants, former Army Maj. Eddie Pressley and his wife, Eurica, are scheduled to stand trial on Jan. 24, 2011, in Decatur, Ala. Another former Defense contractor employee, Wajdi Birjas, pleaded guilty last month to bribing Army contracting officials and money laundering, and is scheduled to face sentencing on Jan. 7, 2011.

San Francisco became the first major city in the U.S. to ban the sale of plastic water bottles on public property this week, taking the lead in a national effort to curb waste.
The legislation was approved 11-0 by the Board of Supervisors on July 8th and supported by the Think Outside the Bottle campaign, a nationwide effort that encourages restrictions of the "eco-unfriendly product."
Brought forth by Board of Supervisors President David Chiu, it took nine months to author the proposal.
Now, during the next four years the an will phase out the sale of 21oz. plastic water bottles or less on city property, indoor or outdoor. Such restrictions will impact vendors, food truck operators, street fairs, and convention facilities such as the Moscone Center.
The American Beverage Association, which includes Coca-Cola Co. and PepsiCo, said in a statement that the ban was "nothing more than a solution in search of a problem. This is a misguided attempt by city supervisors to decrease waste in a city of avid recyclers.
Chairman Chiu believes the new ban against plastic water bottles, along with previous bans on plastic bags and plastic-foam containers, will help the City's goal to have no waste in its landfill by 2020.
Violators of the ban would face fines of up to $1,000.

Chrysler invests $400M to add 1,250 jobs in Indiana plants
Chrysler is investing millions in the Kokomo, Indiana, area as it shifts most of its vehicles to new transmissions that save fuel and better suit the driving habits of Americans.
The automaker will invest nearly $400 million at four plants in the Kokomo, Indiana, area, adding 1,250 jobs to what it says it the largest transmission factory complex in the world. The plants will make fuel-efficient eight- and nine-speed automatic transmissions.
Chrysler plans to use the new nine-speed transmission in key front-wheel-drive vehicles such as the Dodge Dart compact, which has lagged sales expectations. The transmission also will go into a new Chrysler 200 midsize sedan early next year and the Jeep Cherokee midsize SUV, which will replace the aging Jeep Liberty in the summer.
It's a big deal for Kokomo — and the economy of central Indiana — considering that the complex was in danger of being shut down just a few years ago.
New lines added
Kokomo will also add the Ram pickup, by far Chrysler's top-selling vehicle, to the line-up of cars that it makes eight-speed transmissions for. The others are the Jeep Grand Cherokee large SUV and the Chrysler 300 big sedan.
Most manufacturers rely on five- and six-speed transmissions to move their cars and trucks. But Chrysler and others are planning for more gears. Generally, transmissions with more gears help cars and trucks get better mileage because engines always run at peak efficiency and don't have to work as hard at highway speeds. They also allow cars to accelerate faster, which is a demand of American motorists.
CEO Sergio Marchionne confirmed Thursday that Chrysler will spend $162 million and add 850 new jobs at an unfinished Getrag Transmission plant in nearby Tipton. The company will spend another $212 million for new equipment and tooling at three other factories, creating up to 400 more jobs.
Four years ago, as Chrysler was going through bankruptcy protection, the sprawling complex in Kokomo was in danger of closing, which would have had serious economic implications. Marchionne, who also is CEO of Italy's Fiat Group SpA, said he remembers leaning toward buying transmissions from an outside company.
"This would have been an economic hole right here in central Indiana," said George Maus, president of one of the United Auto Workers locals in the city.
But people in the company's powertrain operations sold the CEO on keeping Kokomo open.
Shortly after he started running Chrysler, Marchionne came to Kokomo to tell workers of the decision. But company sales were still bleak at the time. "When Sergio told us he was going to add 700 to 800 jobs, we thought he was crazy," Maus recalled.
Now his daughter has been hired at one of the transmission plants, and Maus is optimistic for the future with the new fuel-efficient transmissions.
Lower salaries
With the added jobs coming by early 2014, Chrysler will employ about 7,300 workers in the Kokomo area. The additional workers will start at $15.28 per hour, about half the wage of longtime UAW workers.
Chrysler needs the extra factory capacity to handle growing sales. Its sales grew to 1.65 million last year from just over 931,000 in 2009. The company has added nearly 8,000 hourly jobs since leaving bankruptcy protection in 2009 and invested almost $5.2 billion in its U.S. factories. About $1.6 billion of that will have been spent in the Kokomo area.
Marchionne also said Thursday that he would prefer that Fiat buy the part of Chrysler it doesn't own from a UAW health care trust for retirees. The other option is a public stock offering. Fiat now owns 58.5 percent of Chrysler, with the trust holding the rest. The trust wants cash to help pay retiree benefits, and both sides are sparring in court about the price.
Fiat could use the 10 billion euros on its balance sheet to buy the trust's stake, or it could borrow the money, Marchionne said. But the company also is preparing for a stock offering. "My preference is to be one single company," he said. "We belong together."
Chrysler hopes the investments in Kokomo help the slow-selling Dart live up to expectations. It was unveiled with much fanfare at the 2012 Detroit auto show, but only 25,000 were sold last year. Chrysler, owned by Italy's Fiat, had touted the sleek compact as the perfect blend of aggressive American styling and Italian technology. It was supposed to be Chrysler's first competitive compact since the 1990s.
Marchionne said the company mistakenly equipped the Dart with transmissions and engines better suited to European drivers than Americans. He said the nine-speed transmission would be more suitable to U.S. drivers because the added gears will help the car shift more smoothly and accelerate faster.
Dart sales did pick up in January, rising to more than 7,100. The car is built in Belvidere, Ill.

Also, he has worked with numerous homeowners and builders, both residential and commercial, in finding solutions to indoor air quality and moisture problems. In addition, he has co-authored numerous scientific papers and articles relating to both commercial and residential building diagnostics and repair, with an emphasis on uncontrolled airflow and it's effect on building performance. He has been a trainer for many utilities, and at the conferences organized by Energy Efficient Building Association (EEBA) and Affordable Comfort.
Prior to his employment at FSEC in 1998, he had worked for Building Science Corporation in Westford, MA as a building diagnostician, senior researcher and trainer. He was self-employed as a building scientist from 1994-1996 and worked for Natural Florida Retrofit, Inc. in Montverde, Florida form 1985 to 1994, conducting energy conservation contracting & training.
Neil was a lead scientist in demonstrating the effect of duct leakage in Florida homes. Following the work quantifying the problem, Neil led the effort to find low-cost, reliable methods to test and identify leakage. He served as an instructor for FSEC's Duct Doctoring workshop that educated many contractors and utility representatives on how to diagnose and repair duct leakage.
He has continued that training effort by educating Class I energy raters. Due to his and other FSEC staff members' work, the Florida energy code was changed in 2001 to reflect a default parameter of leaky duct work, providing credit for systems that were tested to be quantitatively airtight.

Tybalt heared about Stephans betrayal and set out to kick some b***.
He found some mercenaries in a ruined outpost. Seemingly Stephan hired some elite Boar Knights to guard a batch of stolen Lenfel armor, together with some ragtag mercs.
During the fight, Tybalt tumbled over, lost his sword and saw a Boar Knight flying towards him. Sword drawn.
Luckily Elleanora forsaw this and picked the knight out of the sky, using her throwing skills.

Winter storm warnings out in western Wisconsin
Winter weather advisories issued for several counties
MADISON, Wis. — Winter storm warnings are out for a large part of western Wisconsin, where several inches of snow have fallen.
The National Weather Service said 7 inches have been recorded near Grantsburg while nearly 5 inches had fallen in La Crosse by mid-afternoon Sunday. It's the first snowfall greater than 2 inches that La Crosse has seen since Jan. 21.
Winter Storm Warnings are in effect for Vernon, Juneau, and Adams counties until midnight.
Winter Weather Advisories for Grant, Crawford, and Richland counties are also in effect until midnight.
26 salting and sanding truck crews hit the road in Madison around 6:30 a.m. Sunday.
They say they've been ready for winter since Nov. 2, but aren't complaining about the late start.
"Those of us in management are not complaining, we're always happy to not have to be out working and spending money," said George Dreckmann of the Madison Streets Department. "We like to sit on that and return some funds back to the city at the end of winter."
Several spinouts in the Slinger area northwest of Milwaukee ended up with vehicles in the ditch.
The weather service predicted 6 to 10 inches will fall in northwest Wisconsin on Sunday, with 6 to 7 inches in the north-central part of the state.
Meteorologist Karin Swanson said it will be mostly cloudy with light snow Sunday evening, then patchy light snow or flurries overnight in the Madison area.
Swanson said Monday will be mostly cloudy and cold with a few patchy light snow showers or flurries possible. She said the high temperature will be 29 degrees Monday.
To stay up to date on how winter conditions will affect parking and public transportation in the Madison area, go here.
Meanwhile, the Minneapolis/St. Paul area is getting buried in snow, with both of the Twin Cities declaring their first snow emergencies of the season.
Forecasters are predicting a potential 14 inches could fall there as dozens of flights in the area have been cancelled.
The snow there is expected to taper off on Monday.

Ben Hoffman, New Eagle Control System Solutions
The recent natural-gas discoveries in North America have sparked a wave of interest in harnessing this source of energy for a range of applications. This presentation is an overview of a controls development effort aimed at using natural gas as a transportation fuel to offset the use of diesel fuel. In particular, focus is on the advantages provided by adopting rugged, production intent hardware from the onset and using MotoHawk, a model-based toolchain matured by almost a decade of development and refinement.

The Maxine Cushing Gray Endowed Libraries Visiting Writers Fellowship
The purpose of the Endowment is to honor a Northwest writer of notable talent, preferably on an annual basis. The fellowship will include a one-time monetary award.
Maxine Cushing Gray was a prominent Northwest critic and editor for nearly 40 years. The Fund was established in 1985 to honor her wide-ranging contributions and to recognize future generations of established writers of exceptional merit. Gray worked tirelessly to see that all artists, as well as writers, were given just recognition and financial compensation for their work. As a music and dance critic for the Seattle Post-Intelligencer and Argus, and founding editor/publisher of Northwest Arts, she not only nurtured the development of artists in the Northwest, but often acted as their conscience. She sought to keep all public bodies accountable and was an advocate for artists seeking an individual voice. She set standards of criticism, fought acceptance of the mediocre and encouraged the young.
Her extensive papers reside at the University Libraries.
Founding members of the Endowment are R.M. Campbell, Meade Emory and Judith A. Whetzel.

Named after the David Cronenberg film, this is the blog of former RogerEbert.com editor Jim Emerson, where he has chronicled his enthusiasms and indulged his whims since 2005. Favorite subjects include evidence-based movie criticism, cinematic form and style, comedy, logical reasoning, language, journalism, technology, epistemology and fun. No topic is off-limits, but critical thinking is required.
(UPDATED) Stanley Kubrick faked the Apollo 11 moon landing. The Newtown massacre and Boston Marathon bombings were "false flag" government conspiracies designed to take away our guns. Also, black is white, rich is poor, Obama is a foreign-born Muslim, work is freedom, freedom is slavery and Mona Lisa was a man.
"I believe he's not guilty."
"Are you sure?"
"No, but I have a reasonable doubt."
The last words spoken in David Mamet's HBO feature film "Phil Spector" are "reasonable doubt." The first words appear in white letters on a black screen:
This is a work of fiction. It's not "based on a true story." ... It is a drama inspired by actual persons on a trial, but it is neither an attempt to depict the actual persons, nor to comment upon the trial or its outcome.
I'm not quite sure what that means (beyond "Don't sue us") -- but it sounds a little like one of Mamet's nonsensical latter-day post-right-wing conversion rants. (Read Mamet's 2008 Village Voice essay, "Why I Am No Longer a 'Brain-Dead Liberal'" and see if you can figure out how he went from an unthinking, ignorant knee-jerk lefty to an unthinking, ignorant knee-jerk conservative. It has something to do with NPR, but what was he listening to? "Car Talk"? He doesn't say -- only that he believes in choosing one's political positions and convictions the way you would choose a sports team to root for, based on your affection for a place and whatever colors you feel are the most flattering this season.)
But what really matters is the Muriels. You know, that time-honored annual movie award that is not named after Bette Davis's Uncle Oscar, but after co-founder Paul Clark's guinea pig. Throughout the month of February (the 6th through the 23rd), the winners have been announced, as you know because you've been regularly clicking on the Muriels link right here on Scanners. Anyway, you know what "Argo" can do; the Muriel voters, on the other hand, chose to give the year's top prize to what, for me, was obviously the most rewarding movie experience of the year: Leos Carax's "Holy Motors."
Another brawl in the square Another stink in the air! Was there a witness to this? Well, let him speak to Javert! -- Javert, a character in the musical "Les Misérables"
I was an eyewitness to "Les Misérables."
After repeated exposure to that dreadful theatrical trailer-cum-featurette about how the singing is all done live on camera! -- It's live! It's Live! IT'S LIVE! -- I had no intention of seeing Tom "The King's Speech" Hooper's film version of the 1980s stage musical. But when it finally came out, some of the reviews were so bad that part of me wanted to see what the stink was all about. Still, I'm not a masochist; I don't enjoy going to movies I know I'm probably predisposed to dislike just so I can dump on them. On the other hand, there's nothing better than having your low expectations upended. I did enjoy that Susan Boyle YouTube video back in 2009, but that was all I knew about the musical. I remained curious but skeptical. And then ...
(AP photo)
Near the end of her remarkable Golden Globes speech, a monologue overflowing with teasing language and sly pop-culture references, actor-director Jodie Foster mentioned a dog whistle. Although she sometimes seemed to be speaking extemporaneously, while also incorporating pre-crafted phrases designed to say exactly what she intended to say (and, equally important, what she had no intention of saying), I thought the message, addressed primarily to those who have pressured her to publicly acknowledge her lesbianism for so many years, was clear and unambiguous -- except for the parts she deliberately wanted to leave ambiguous. And it's pretty much the same message she's been repeating since she was in college:
I value my privacy. Everything about being a performer makes it difficult to protect and maintain that privacy. I've been pressured to talk about my private life as a woman, formerly in a same-sex relationship with Cydney Bernard, who is raising two sons. And this is as much of a public "coming out" statement as you're going to get from me.
Quentin Tarantino has found his actor in Christoph Waltz -- someone who can speak Tarantinian fluently and still make it his own. When Waltz uses a self-consciously ostentatious word like "ascertain" (as in, "I was simply trying to ascertain..." -- the kind of verbiage QT is as likely to put in the mouth of a lowlife crook as a German dentist, or a Francophile plantation slavemaster, for that matter), it sounds right. As someone to whom Tarantino's dialog often sounds cliche-ridden and cutesy, it's a pleasure to hear Waltz saying the words in character rather than simply as a mouthpiece for the writer-director.
Oh, stop. This isn't sounding the way I want it to.
"As a country, we have been through this too many times..." -- President Obama, December 14, 2012
It was a busy week of business-as-usual in the USA:
Tuesday, December 11: A man killed three people (including himself) and wounded another in shootings at the Clackamas Mall in Portland, OR.
At the heart of Steven Spielberg's "Lincoln" is a quiet scene between President Abraham Lincoln (Daniel Day-Lewis) and two young men, Samuel Beckwith (Adam Driver) and David Homer Bates (Drew Sease), in an otherwise empty telegraph cipher office. Lincoln has to make a crucial decision: Does he consider a peace proposal from a Confederate delegation on its way to Washington, and thus perhaps immediately end the bloody Civil War that has claimed the lives of more than half a million Americans, knowing that it would doom his attempt to pass the Thirteenth Amendment to the Constitution, officially banning slavery in the United States? Or does he try to legally solidify and extend his Emancipation Proclamation by getting the Thirteenth Amendment passed during a narrow window of opportunity (during the lame duck session of Congress between his re-election and second inauguration) at the cost of extending the war?
First off, I agree with Angus T. Jones -- well, about one thing, at least. The child actor of whose existence I hadn't been aware until a few days ago said on digital video that he was employed on a lousy sitcom that was basically "filth." Who's going to argue? Really, is he wrong? Have you ever seen Two and a Half Men? (I admit I've only witnessed bits and pieces, but that was enough to get the tenor of the show. And I knew there was a "half" involved -- the title tells me so -- but I didn't know Jones was it.) So, the young man says this:
Writer-director-producer David Simon (creator of "The Wire," "Generation Kill," "Treme") has a piece at Salon headlined: "Media's sex obsession is dangerous, destructive," in which he eviscerates Roger Simon (no relation) for his Politico column, "Gen. David Petraeus is dumb, she's dumber." And The Week offers a round-up of trashy "journalistic" misbehavior, " The David Petraeus affair: Why the media's coverage is sexist." I don't know. "Sexist" seems like an understatement. Puerile, snotty, crass, raunchy, snide, scary, onanistic, stupid, instructive, pointless -- it's all those things, too. At the very least.

My fellow gaming Americans, Thanksgiving is a day when you can eat turkey, be lazy and answer questions from well-meaning but relatively uninformed relatives about that video game thing you're into.
Surely, grandma asked you about that new PlayStation today? Or your brother-in-law mentioned, while passing the cranberry sauce, that he's buying an Xbox One to play GTA V? Maybe a niece told you what she thinks of the new Pokémon?
Share the after-action reports of your Thanksgiving gaming conversations below.
And if you brought a game or console to your folks' house to show it off, all the better! Let us know how it went.

California legislators have a big problem: what to do about the state's proposed high-speed rail project.
True, the legislators didn't authorize the project; the "go ahead" came as a result of a $10 billion bond ballot proposition passed by the voters in 2008, as a down payment on what was then conceived as a $33 billion project, to be supplemented by the federal government and private investors.
But the latest estimates have the high-speed rail program costing triple the original cost and taking at least a decade longer to complete than originally forecast.
At a time when the state is cutting expenditures left and right, these numbers add up to disaster. And the sorrowful condition of the over-extended federal government doesn't improve matters, especially if the high-speed rail promoters expect help.
In fact, a good case can be made for the proposed system.
Advocates view it as the equivalent to building 12 additional lanes of Interstate 5 between the Bay Area and Southern California--12 lanes crowded with gas-guzzling vehicles leaving polluted skies in the wake of their exhaust. But what good is an investment if you can't afford it in the first place?
Now, state leaders find themselves between a rock and a hard place. If they pursue the project, they will almost certainly need to go back to the voters for even more bond authorization.
That could be problematic.
As it is, California is already paying interest on nearly $90 billion worth of bonds, with $53 billion more already authorized but not yet purchased. That interest, now amounting to 7 percent of the state budget, is expected to rise to 11 percent of the budget within the next 18 months.
Dare we ask the voters to approve even more?
The alternative is to punt on the project before any construction begins. That would mean returning to the federal government $3 billion already forwarded to the state for funding assistance. Given California's financial plight, finding an extra $3 billion is about as likely as rush-hour traffic becoming a thing of the past.
Compounding the problem is last week's request by the California High Speed Rail Authority, official manager of the project, for bids to begin construction in the first phase of a 114 mile stretch between Fresno and Bakersfield. That area was selected for the first phase because of the relatively few environmental issues, but there's no revenue to speak of in these relatively sparely populated areas.
One point is clear: state leaders and voters have a big problem on their hands. And given the number of issues already without resolution, it's hard to know how the state will be able to manage another.

Here for a Hop or GIVEAWAY??? Use these QUICK LINKS to find the right spot fast!! :)
Saturday, February 18, 2012
Arrrgggghhh!! and a little LOVE... :)
Just like The-Toby-Dog, I'm anxious for Spring to come... I'm looking forward to hearing the birds sing, feeling the gentle breezes, and, of course, jumping in the puddles!! :)
I'm also anxious to share a couple of cards with you today!! The first one features an awesome new digi stamp from Dustin Pike... I was fortunate enough to get in on his "70 digis" special last weekend, and this PiRAT was one of them!! Isn't he super cute???
Wiggle Wires... I also decided to (carefully) remove his digi-tail so I could give him a twisty-wire one instead (cutting around a line for a tail isn't all that easy, ya know!!)...
Creative Memories Traveler Cricut Cartridge -- Trust me, I have plenty of others too, but this is the one I chose to use for a week's worth of projects!! :) I cut the yellow "yield" sign (it made me think "CAUTION!") as well as the yellow box for my sentiment...
"Pirate Tales & Fish Scales" Stamp Set from K Andrew Designs.... Isn't that PERFECT for my sword-yielding PiRAT??? :)
I'd like to enter this card in the Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Me Monday #98... The project is to contain a funny phrase or pun -- Even without the wiggle to make me giggle, the sentiment sure makes me laugh!! :)
My second card also features a digi stamp from Dustin Pike... This image is from the "Valentine Hippos" set that was also a part of the "70 digis"... I love, love, LOVE all the funny Hippos in this set!! I'll surely be finding many more ways to use these hippos than just Valentine's Day!! :)
Traveler Cartridge to cut the 3.75" circle from light pink cardstock and added a few strips of scraps... I inked the edges of all pieces with "pink passion" ink from Stampin' Up!
Wiggle Wires to each of the punched hearts (topped with iridescent Stickles)... After coloring my hippo with my SU! Watercolor Pencils (and a blender pen), I used a Gelly Roll white "Glaze" pen to brighten up the eyes and teeth -- I love the texture this pen adds (almost like embossing but without any heat or powder!).
"Owly-Hoo" mix-n-match Sentiment Stamp Set from K Andrew Designs... LOVE this!! :)
I'd like to enter this card in the following challenges:
Dustin Pike -- Color Challenge (use any or all: Red, Purple, Black, Brown, and Pink -- I'm assuming white is okay too!!)
Celebrate the Occasion -- Challenge #50 (Valentine's Day -- must use a HEART!)
Thanks so much for stopping by to visit me today!! I'll leave you with some FUN links to visit (to see what everyone made using their "neglected" Cricut Cartridges!!)... I hope you'll join us!!
Until next time,
