Dried Bouquets
Dried Bouquets
Dried flowers are becoming increasingly popular, and we can totally understand why! They look STUNNING plus they last forever. The bouquets will differ depending what dried flowers we have in stock. If you have any major preferences please leave in the notes or alternatively give us a call to ensure we have/can get what you need in store. We can also do custom larger bouquets/arrangements, please also call us for this 07 3883 3000.
Care Tips: Avoid putting your dried flowers in a moist room (e.g bathroom), keeping them the best you can out of the way of high humidity rooms will ensure the longevity of your bouquet. You can use a feather duster to clean them or if they are both delicate, use a hair dryer on low the cold setting to get dust off. If you can avoid harsh direct sunlight and definitely keep indoors!
Flower deliveries: Every effort is made by our fabulous floral designers to deliver your order exactly as pictured. However, as flowers vary seasonally, sometimes flower type/colour substitutions will be necessary but every endeavour will be made to replicate the colour scheme as displayed.

Need a sure-fire way to grab the attention of your students? The lines of a recent book we read just snagged us!
"First come rumbling flatbed trucks, bundles of steel on their backs, like a gleaming endless river surging through the concrete canyons of Manhattan."Wasn't that just delicious! The figurative language all by itself just makes a teacher's heart sing- but it's about building a skyscraper! And let me tell you, my little engineers sat up straighter when they started seeing the pictures of this book!

Sky Boys by Deborah Hopkinson
This is the book that was so mesmerizing! It's the story of the Empire State Building being built in 1931. It's told from the point of view of a young boy who watches each step of the building going up. Our favorite page included the steel columns of the foundation.
"Before your eyes a steel forest appears. Two hundred and ten massive columns, lifted by derricks and set onto concrete piers sunk fifty-five feet down to hard-rock bottom."Those words are better than any lesson I could dream up for getting kids to understand the need for a great foundation. The term sky boys came from the derrick workers that worked high up in the sky hoisting, swinging, and placing the beams in the right spots. Fabulous book for introducing a STEM Challenge! We built all kinds of towers!
Let's try index cards!
With first graders, I tried an index card tower first. This is one my big kids have built in the past, but look at what the little engineers did. They were really not concerned with making the tower tall. They loved just bending those cards. Their towers tended to spread out and have a wider base.
Okay, what about modeling dough!
Kids just love modeling dough. These second graders made some toothpick structures, but they were never able to get them very tall. They really were more into the geometry of the structures- which was a bonus when they started using the vocabulary. The structure in the photos has triangles and squares!
Cups it is!
Here's a great tower for first graders using only one material. That material just happens to be very inexpensive and easy to use. Just paper cups. Despite the fact that these structures were very precarious the first graders did not mind at all that towers fell over! They just laughed and built them back.
I have included links for a free cup tower challenge at the end of this post!
Back to index cards!
The second-grade index card towers were very different from first graders. They had a blast getting those towers taller and taller. The biggest problem was that the height became too much for their sizes! They could not reach the tops of the towers built on the table. When this happened we just started building on the floor! Loved it!
The book was amazing and can be used for your language and writing classes and STEM. If you need more information about the challenges click on the links below:

The almost true exploits of an intrepid spinster and her stitching...and all of the things that make up her crazy, happy, quiet little life.
Dec 28, 2010
I just followed directions.
But I'll take all of the praise I can get, especially since I am but a fragile and delicate little creature, and my ego relies on all of you for constant feeding and watering.
(Stop that snickering in the back, please.)
Who knew that my announcement that the Great Purge of 2010 had begun would garner such reaction? Before y'all think I've gone round the bend again, let me explain what I mean by "purge"...
At the end of the year, I like to go up into the studio and take all of my stitching and go through it. I start by getting everything into piles and bins in a "like with like" fashion so that I can see exactly what I've got. First, all of the fuppies get a little admiration and stroking and sorting out as to who will make the next trip to the Michael's and who will go to live in the box for finishing. (Oh, um, sorry. Fuppies are things that are stitched but not finished into their final form. I wish I could lay claim to that term, but I shamelessly lifted it from another stitcher's blog and I can't remember whose it was.) (So sorry about that, dear stitchy friend who probably hates my guts right about now.)
So once the fuppies are all settled into their respective bins, I set about going through each category of stuff: painted canvases, counted canvas charts, cross stitch, crewel, hardanger, etc. This is where I get a little ruthless, because I sit on the floor and do a very fast "yes" or "no" decision making that relies only on my gut feeling as to whether or not the item blows my skirt right up. If it doesn't, it goes into a pile.
Once I've made all of those yes and no determinations, I gather up all of the no's and put them in a storage bin and then put it away for a year. (See? I don't throw anything away, so there's no need to faint over the thought of me getting rid of piles and piles of stitchy stuff!) Then, at the end of the next year I go through that bin to see if I've changed my mind or taste and want to re-consider the no's into yes's.
It's not a perfect system, but it seems to work for me, and I'm happy to report that my cross stitch baskets are now filled with things that I might actually want to stitch and NOT crap that I've collected for the last billion years because I thought I would just die a painful death if I didn't have a particular chart, etc. right then on the very spot. It's a little crazy, but some baskets went from having a hundred or so charts to now having five or six. (What does THAT say about me and my obsessive hoarding tendencies, hmmm?)
Oh, I forgot. My baskets of cross stitch charts are pretty much separated into seasons, since I seem to be a very seasonal stitcher. (You know....spring, summer, autumn, winter, etc.) And I have a basket for stuff that isn't exactly seasonal, like samplers, geometrics, etc.
Speaking of geometrics....here's an oldie but goodie that I pulled out of the stash yesterday and then put a few stitches into last night. This is a painted canvas from Maggie and Co. and I think I bought it all the way back in 2004 or so:
As you can see, I've started stitching it already, but I'm kicking myself over the lack of notes for this one and the fact that I've taken a few of the threads out of the kit for other stuff over the years. So I'm a little stuck between wanting to rip out everything that's there and starting all over and trying to match up colors and threads from my stash. I'll give it a good going over this afternoon in the light of day and will probably opt for the less demanding job of it, since we all know how keen I am to do anything more strenuous than laundering dog pee out of the drapes.
Aunt Chrissy and I finalized our New Year's Eve plans yesterday. There will be dining and dancing and partying and all kinds of revelry going on. Too bad we won't be doing any of it, though. We'll be parked in front of the TeeVee in our jammies, stitching and slurping dietCoke into the wee hours, and on New Year's Day we'll watch the Tournament of Roses parade and we'll stitch some more. Hopefully Stewey and Bosco will alert us to the issuing in of 2011 by calling us on their iPhones. (They, in fact, are going to a black tie event in Vegas. Apparently, Bosco's rating at Ceasar's warrants a private plane being sent, as well as some front row tickets to see Cher and Elton John. Stewey has already cleaned and pressed his little tuxedo, so I imagine it will only be a matter of time before he demands that I make an appointment at Mr. Gordon's House of Style for a little pre-party pampering.) Damn dog.
That's the report on a December Tuesday! If you're snowed in wherever you are, I hope it's with someone you love and that you've got lots of stitching to keep you company!

I loved your finish - and I have to say that I did worry about the "purge". :D So glad that it is just a way to see if you still want/like/must have stuff.
Will you ever list the stuffs that you no longer want from last years purge bin? Mayhap your fellow stitchers (myself included) will pay for them? Unless you think that they should go free to a good home... :P
Just think...no matter how you get rid of it, there will be more room to fill up and even more money to spend on stitchy stuff or even Stewie's college fund.
Hugs and Love to you, Stewie, Aunt Chrissy and Bosco.
Congratulations on the finish! And the WIP--very pretty! I have a similar basket... okay, huge rubbermaid tote... that has all my 'I may stitch this at some point but not any time soon' charts. I should sort through everything a bit better beyond that--I like your system--but I get too distracted by remembering everything I'd planned to stitch and where I'd hang it/display it, etc. It's better for my mental health to go stash diving in small doses.ReplyDelete
Happy new year!
Hi Coni,ReplyDelete
Love your current WIP.
I've been going through my stash in preparation for the Crazy January Challenge, but I keep getting distracted by all the pretty colors...'oohhh, pretty..."
I'm having a small give-a-way on New Year's Day...drop in if you'd like a chance to win some St. Valentine's linen!
Have my dog that I love, have my stitching, and of course, have my hot cup of Cafe JoJo (my own concoction), so it doesn't get any better!ReplyDelete
Love your blog so much, and can picture myself sitting with you and Aunt Chrissy stitching the day away! BLISS!
Midwest humor is SO AWESOME . . . ho0 I miss it, but get my dose from the Spinster Stitcher.ReplyDelete
Your blog is the only one that I read snippets of to my husband. We both get a hoot out of it.ReplyDelete
I'm so glad your purging doesn't involve tossing anything stitchy into the trash bin! I almost had to retrieve my smelling salts from gramma's sewing basket. *whew*
That is a gorgeous canvas!ReplyDelete
Прекрасная работа! С наступающим Новым годом!ReplyDelete
Stewey is leaving you to party on their own in Vegas??? If you wave with his favorite toy he might change his mind. Even more if you tell him that you and Aunt Chrissie will play all evening with HIS toys. Seen that he is a Jack Russel...no way he would leave you alone with his toys...lol. I have a Jill Russel here and know about that.ReplyDelete
The canvas looks fantastic. Hopefully you'll find all threads and have a go at it. It will look amazing when finished.

Love your Merry Christmas finish. Beautiful job! I am glad to hear you are busy reorganizing your stitching for the new year! I need to do some of that myself.
I also am glad to hear of your plans for New Year's Eve. I think I will follow your lead, altho, my sister is too far away to join me to stitch the night away, so I will just pretend I'm stitching with my online friends.:) Thanks for your blog, it's always a bright spot in my day.
You encouraged me to do the same thing! I pulled several projects out and am in the process of kitting them up. Now I will be able to work on what is "blowing my skirt" up right now! I would never be able to throw anything out but I do have a special box where things go for giving to others should the need arise! I hope you have a wonderful New Years, and think of me, also in my jammies but with a regular coke, while my hubby plays on the computer.ReplyDelete
I forgot to ask - what craft iron do you use? I just saw a small one for around 8 bucks. It fits in the palm of your hand for crying out loud! How cool is that?
Hugs and Love,
Love your New Year's Eve plans! Sounds good to me! Hope Stewey and Bosco enjoy their evenings at their respective parties. Popular dudes aren't they? I'm not surprised. :) CathrynReplyDelete

Oh, I love your finish. And, I'm in the middle of a "purge" too, so I know what you mean. If anything makes it into the "I never will do anything with this" pile, it will either be offered to other stitchers who may like it, or if it is just something I think is beyond use or worth to mail, I'll send it to a charity shop. I just love the feeling this whole process gives, but I have to admit, I haven't done this annually... maybe every ten years? Yikes!ReplyDelete
I have a "bin" like Siobhan's, but ouch, it's a huge ottoman that is chock full!
I hope Stewey and Bosco travel safely. I've always been one for staying at home on New Year's, simply because of the additional risky drivers on the road. So, make sure they buckle up!
Your purge sounds like a good idea...the mess that is my stitching room is crying out for some organization! I need more drawers and more bookshelf space! I should go through my WIPs and do some tossing...but I may NEED them...what if there is a sudden holocaust of some kind and there is no more floss in the world????ReplyDelete
Kisses to Stewey
Happy New Year Stewie - with love from Daisy - woof woofReplyDelete
I love your New Year's review system. Seems to be a great compromise for those who do NOT want to actually get rid of something we might want to do ANY DAY NOW. . .but want to get organized anyway. Maybe I'll try it. . . if I can FIND all my stash that is. LOLReplyDelete
Have recently discovered your blog - so fun ! Love your finish and your NYE party sounds just my style! Stitching, snacking and jammies - YEHAW! Enjoy and Happy New Year - MelodyReplyDelete
I have read several good stuff here. Certainly worth bookmarking for revisiting. I surprise how much effort you put to make such a wonderful informative web site.ReplyDelete

Hong Kong forms the centre of trade for many different kinds of goods. Its commerce is virtually a part of that of China, and is chiefly carried on with Great Britain, the United States and Germany. Of the exports and imports only mercantile estimates are known; these place the former at about $10,000,000, and the latter at $20,000,000. The tea and silk trade of China is largely in the hands of Hong Kong firms. In 1882, 28,668 vessels, of 4,976,233 tons, entered the ports of Hong Kong.
The country is not so fertile as British Burma; but wheat, corn, rice, pulse, indigo, cotton, tobacco, and a large variety of fruits are grown. The forests produce valuable timber trees in great variety. Minerals abound, but are not generally worked. Petroleum, however, is quite largely produced. Burma possessing no seacoast, the foreign trade is inconsiderable.

How to Leverage Instagram for Travel Marketing
Marketing is essential to every business, whether service or product marketing. You use marketing to grow your horizons and explore new opportunities in the travel industry.
The travel and hospitality industry is similar to any other niche and requires marketing in equal measure. New opportunities such as solo adventurers, documentary makers and travel writers have risen over the past few years, which require a new platform to connect with travellers and share information with enthusiasts.
This is where Instagram comes in. Instagram takes digital marketing to a whole new level. Social media marketing isn't all about looking for new ways to promote your business, but to connect with your customers as well.
As we talk, customers are becoming more and more enlightened and want nothing short of the best customer experience. This makes it even more critical to give people and peek into your travel business.
Why Choose Instagram?
A lot of travel brands are promoting their businesses on Instagram and for the right reasons as well. For instance, many of the businesses are getting customers from this platform. Travel writers are getting traffic to their blogs the easy way through this platform, making money in the process.
Using Instagram allows you to engage with your existing customers while getting the attention of potential consumers.
How Can You Make it Happen on Instagram?
You can use different strategies to make travel marketing work for you on Instagram.
Provide Real-time Updates
Using the latest feature – Instagram Stories, you can have a real-time travel book right on your page. Before you make use of these Stories, make sure you have a strategy in mind. For one, have enough content to last a series. This requires you to identify a topic and work towards it. For instance, you can document your hiking experience on a popular train from start to finish.
Use Different Kinds of Content
When it comes to catching the user's attention, you need to use both video and images. You can have images depict static experiences, while video depicts a process.
Influence People to Get Off the Couch
Travel companies have taken to Instagram to influence people to traverse the globe as they promote certain destinations. Your role is to make sure that you tell people about the destinations that you promote. Well, who wouldn't want to travel to the destination after seeing all those images that you post regarding a certain destination?
One of the ways to set yourself apart is by making sure you are an authority in the niche. This is only possible if you have numbers. You need to have a large number of active followers that are ready to engage you and share your experiences. You can get these by using a tool that automates the process of following and unfollowing users. Check the top automation tools at SWS Magazine to use for this process.
The Bottom-line
Instagram is one of the top platforms to market your travel company. Follow these top tips to expand your brand, and get more clients for your services.

TIPS & TRICKS Have fun in Turning your keyboard into a mouse with just a simple trick.I was always wondering if we can use the computer without touching the mouse. Guess what, we can always do that. I have seen many people, they hardly touch mouse while working on their laptop or desktop. The way they use keyboard is by using the tab key, space bar and shortcut keys. But in reality the keys on the keyboard can be used to control the cursor just like we do with a mouse.
HOW TO This post is based upon my personal experience while solving the issue with my brother's laptop. Yesterday my brother called me up saying that the clock, CPU meter etc that appear on right side of desktop is no longer working. I got to know that he is speaking about the sidebar gadgets. I asked him to start a remote session using our favorite client Team Viewer. While working remotely on his laptop, I had some interesting findings, which I will describe in the next paragraph.

Inbound marketing is fast-becoming an attractive solution for businesses seeking customers - have you fallen for it yet?
Picture the scene. You're in a restaurant, waiting for the blind date your friends have set you up with to arrive. Eager to catch their attention, you've dusted down your finest togs and are mentally running through the conversation topics you might use to entertain them. If you play your cards right, this might turn into something special.
Inbound marketing isn't all that different. Like a first date, the purpose is to engage prospects with the intention of converting their interest to a lasting relationship. The main differences? Less nerves and a chance they will end up recommending you to their contacts after you've won their loyalty.
We think that inbound marketing is more than a passing attraction. Unlike outbound marketing, which involves pushing messages via channels such as billboards and press adverts, inbound marketing is two-way communication. Instead of buying interest, it's about presenting yourself in an interesting way.
As the graphic below demonstrates, the stages of inbound marketing are to attract strangers to your website, convert and close their custom, then delight them with content until they advocate your brand.
This is the UXB approach. Not only is the cost per lead for inbound marketing 62% less than traditional outbound marketing, it has a higher conversion rate because the focus is on delivering great content to people who are interested in the subject matter. This means higher click-through rates and more satisfied customers.
Another great feature? It's entirely measurable. That means you can keep track of your conversions and tweak your strategy in line with user behaviour, to streamline your campaigns and assess their return on investment.
If you like the sound of inbound marketing and have got something to shout about, get in touch with a member of our team who will be happy to discuss how it can help your business. It might be the start of something beautiful.

Laser Hair Removal For Red Hair – Does It Work?
Laser Hair Removal On Red Hair
Having red hair means you stand out in the crowd a lot, which is a great thing if you have beautiful strawberry blonde hair or flowing copper locks. All redhead shades are now very popular for people when they want to dye their hair. However, what about the people who have natural red hair and have to deal with the day to day management?
Due to red hair being very noticeable, it makes this even more so for body hair, which is the total opposite to what people want. Even if a little bit of leg hair is growing, you will be able to see it easily. This makes hair removal very complicated for people with red hair and constantly shaving or waxing every week can cause irritation, making your almost as red as your hair. There have been many myths that redheads can't have laser hair removal treatments because the hair itself is too light. Before you wonder, there is no point in dying your hair, because it's colouring the surface of the follicle, not actually changing the colour which is down to your genetics. This is a problem which has been circulating for quite a while in different clinics. However, with improved technology and methods, such as combining laser and radio waves, this will work better on the hair follicles, then making it easier to get rid of. We will talk with you about what the best method is for your hair colour and how often you would need to have the laser hair removal treatment repeated. Here are some tips if for red hair laser hair removal.
- We are not going to lie, laser hair removal for red hair is more difficult then treating someone with darker hair. However people with red hair have seen good results in the past with the ever improving laser hair removal technology. Make sure to book a consultation and receive a FREE patch test in order to find out if laser hair removal would be effective for you.
- Before your laser hair removal treatment, try not to wax, pluck or tweeze hair for at least four weeks – shaving is allowed. The hair must be present in the follicle for the treatment to work. Remember, after hair removal, you may feel as if you can see hair growing. This isn't the case, this only happens because your hair is shedding in that particular area after the treatment.
- Whatever you do, don't forget about sun cream. Yes, it might still be winter weather but with red heads having very pale skin, you are more likely to experience skin irritation. This means that your skin could become a little irritated after laser hair removal treatments. Plus, afterwards, you could damage your skin due to the sun, even if there's only a bit of brightness peaking through on a cloudy day. To avoid this, make sure you use SPF 30 and higher on your skin daily if you are showing your arms and legs. This is especially important for your face.
To discover other facts before considering laser hair removal, you are more than welcome to book a FREE consultation with a specialist so you can learn more about your particular hair colour and how we can make the treatment more effective for you.

The biography of the band begins in 2007 when Negrokolobock decides to form a gore grind-oriented band in Kaluga. The first rehearsal of a track featured in the debut LP of the band (Anal Cash Perdition) is held with the line-up that disbands very quickly. The whole year the band spends in attempts of cooperation with punk-rock virtuosos and epic-old-school-heavy-metal performers. In the beginning of 2008 Scumirez joins yet unnamed band which breaks a gore-trail. Musical compotator Traitor is recruited as a bassist. With a session guitarist on the second guitar (is he necessary at all?) the band plays its first show at the gig named "Russian Rock festival". After the show the guys record their first demo. In 2009 Negrokolobock records his sections for the second demo and joins the army. Scumirez replaces him with Preteen Denis, establishes connections with Moscow grind-crew and releases the second demo as a split with Elite Drug Dealers. 2010 – Maniac (vocals) joins the band. Band's line-up becomes too large – especially considering that Negrokolobock has already been waiting for army discharge. It results in Maniac's dismissal. After a couple of shows the rest of the line-up disbands. During 2011 Negrokolobock and Scumirez remain the only members of the band. During this period they record the first LP titled "Oozing Gore After Zapore" at E.B.N. Records (home studio). In 2012 the band finds a bassist in the person of Kult Coba – a legendary musician from Kaluga. This line-up starts working at the second album. In 2013 another local legend, Alex_G (vocals) joins the band. In 2014 the band records new material at E.B.N.Records (except for drums). The second album titled "Residents and guests of the rectum" is released by More Hate Prod. The band continues composing new material for the next album.
Line up:
- Alex_G - vocals;
- Scumirez - guitars;
- Kult Coba - bass;
- Negrokolobock – drums

Remember how last week I shared the Be You print that Miss Priss had been displaying throughout our house? Well when I made the print for her, I wanted an encouraging print for the boy as well. Words have so much power. I've really been wanting to enshroud my family in good words. Words that make us want to try new things...to soar to different heights.
I found this quote by Dr. Seuss and knew it was perfect for Keagan. We have so much power folks. If we only realized the power we have to do such amazing things in life. We've been talking to keagan a lot about that and how we are the captains of our own ship. We decide which way we sail. We can choose to use our time on this Earth to gain knowledge and serve the Lord, or we can choose to go in a totally different direction.
I'm thankful for my boy who is very concerned with where he steers his ship. He so wants to go in the right direction. It's a process and although he may take a wrong turn or two,we know we can always redirect ourselves back to Christ. He is always there with open arms.....waiting for us to come back home.
I'm so thankful for this Mom gig I've been blessed with. It is not for the faint of heart. It's a messy, exhausting business...but it has the greatest reward.
You can print an 8x10 of this quote here :)

THE only time I remember flaunting the rules on age limits was when, as a 17-year-old college freshman, I and a kababayan went to watch a movie that was only suited for 18-year-olds and above.
What's the harm, right?
That's probably what the coaches thought, too, when they flouted the age limits in the San Roque 9-a-side football cup.
What's the harm, right? Basi diay makalusot.
Well, they didn't and what they did was an insult to the organizers. Those who were reportedly found to be ineligible were five players from San Roque Football club, two from Tabor Hills and one from Real Cebu. Worse, more than half of Barili Football Club's team were over the age limit, forcing the team to withdraw from the 15-Under competition.
What were they thinking? It's just a festival, the rules don't count?
And if the coaches say—as they often do—they didn't know the players were over the age limit, then they have no business coaching teams. Coaches should know their players.
Incidents like these should no longer happen.
"Coaches in Cebu know each other and each other's players. They face each other in the Under 8s until the older age groups, so cheats are easily identified," a football organizer told me a few tournaments ago. "It's usually the out-of-town teams that try to cheat, since we don't know their players."
And it's true. Most of those who try to cheat—and they've all been caught—are out-of-town teams and their coaches and players have all banned from the tournament.
That's why it's embarrassing for San Roque Football Club, whose parish hosted the event, Real Cebu, and Tabor Hills, a club named for a religious pilgrimage site, to be caught cheating.
And of course, it's embarrassing for Barili FC, too. Barili won two titles in the San Roque Cup before getting caught in the second day. And you have to ask, were their players in the first day all eligible?
That is what happens when you're caught cheating, all your achievements are now put into question.
What kind of values are these clubs teaching their players? It's OK to cheat, as long as you won't be caught?
This latest black eye to Cebu football comes a few weeks after Cebu got into the limelight in the national scene with the hosting of the Philippines and Malaysia friendly and the selection of 14 players for the national team training pool.
Jacob Braun, Louie Arreglo, Froi Custado, Josh Rupert Asignar, Charles Clarence Unabia, Tristan Karl Enad, Yuan Rena, Vince Kristi Ybanez and Vince Paul Mapula were invited to the Boys Under 13 national pool, while Itsuko Bacatan, Samantha claire Toledo, Jan reese Jumawan, Alexandrea Gumilao and Arantxa Mari Trebol made it to the national 13-under girls training pool.
These young players are just a few of the best players in Cebu, and they wouldn't get there if they flaunted the rules in age group football.
Basi makalusot? Perhaps, that's what the coaches and teams thought. That's why it's important for the Cebu Football Association to make them as an example, so this practice of age cheating would be discouraged, if not effectively ended.
Impose a penalty on the coaches, players and teams.
Send the message: There's no room for cheats in Cebu football.

I pride myself on my unique designs ensuring that each Chloebella bag is perfectly matched to each individual. All of my bags are hand drawn, painted and decorated by myself from scratch. I have also created new products which are unique to the market such as my hand-painted, personalised suitcases. My product line is ever expanding and I have recently designed make-up bags and dance bags. I love every part of running Chloebella bags and truly believe my business has the potential to grow and expand.

Peaches and Dreams Art
My business is currently more of a hobby – I love to paint and create things, and always have something on the go. At the moment I mostly make gifts for friends and family but would love to expand on this. The dream is to paint for a living, and sell my items in a gift shop. I also like working with kids, so would like to run art classes for children in a shop, or possibly take the idea into children's wards.
Karen's Cakes
I make celebration cakes, this all started when I started making cakes for family and friends and have found that this is a true passion of mine. I would love to have my own unit selling cupcakes and celebratory cakes. I recently made the cake for the launch of Can Do Towns in Falkirk.

text: North America 27 October 2008 The weekend that was… Ashish Prashar, late of the UK Conservatives, reflects on the possibilities of an Obama presidency i Sign UpGet the New Statesman's Morning Call email. Sign-up When Obama finished visiting his gravely ill grandmother in Hawaii on Friday, he swiftly returned to the trail. First up, there were stops in Nevada and then New Mexico. Then his final campaign stop was in Colorado. Most Americans, actually most people across the world, have seen Obama speak, and millions at this point have been to his events (remember Berlin), so I won't bore you with my opinion on the details of his promises (very progressive) or of the energy at the event (high). But what really seemed new and "transformative" and what really seemed to capture the 100,000 Coloradoans at the weekend's rally, people across the US and me - was his discussion about struggle. Having worked in British politics, I have learned not to be easily mesmerised by politicians, but I will admit right here: the flash I saw from Obama at the end of his speech really blew me away. Indeed, as he was closing his remarks, he touched on how making change is incredibly painful and incredibly gruelling - and how it always has been throughout our history. And the best part - the part where the audience was most rapt - was when Obama veered off his prepared remarks and made it personal. He made references to the courage of immigrants and the civil rights movement, which are clearly personal to Obama, but are rarely voiced in politics - an arena that has often been about bashing immigrants. That he departed from his prepared text to talk about those issues, and tied them to a discussion about how difficult change is - well, it suggests that very "transformative" possibility of an Obama presidency. Whether you believe Obama represents real change or not, I came away believing that he understands the challenge of actually making change, should he win. That is, he understands that if he really attempts to fundamentally alter the status quo on major issues, it is going to be a very tumultuous and difficult process - one that only begins in the wake of election day. After all an Obama win will mark the beginning, not the end, of the work that needs to be done. Undoing the damage of the Bush administration will not only take time, but resolve. I'm not 100 per cent sure, knowing how hard this will be, that Obama will move into the breach. My heart hopes he will, and my gut tells me its more than likely he will, but we will never know unless he gets a chance - a chance that I believe he deserves. If he wins, I am sure America will have a president who grasps how tough it will be to make progress - and I am becoming more confident that America will have a president who will try to make that progress a reality. › No-where man v Hero of fitness Subscribe £1 per month

Colorado Scramble: This is similar to the scramble format, except that two drives by each player must be used during the round. A scramble means that all four team members tee off on each hole and then decide which tee shot they like the best. The other team members pick up their balls and place them within one club length (no closer to the hole) of the chosen tee shot. This procedure is followed on every shot for the remainder of the hole, including putts. The ball should be marked on the putting green. Putts need to be made within 3 inches of the marked spot (no closer to the hole). The first ball to go in the hole is counted for the team score. If the ball you choose to play is in the rough, a hazard (sand, water, etc.), or out of bounds, you cannot drop the ball outside of the hazard or rough even if relief is within one club length away. Men tee off from the blue tees and women from the red tees.

Alyn Smith, SNP Member of the European Parliament, announced at the 2015 SNP Conference a letter from Nicola Sturgeon to the UK Government urging David Cameron to use his veto in the EU Council to stop the Trans Atlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) if the NHS is not explicitly exempted.
Nicola Sturgeon wrote:
"It remains our view that the most effective way to put the issue beyond doubt and to provide the concrete assurance that we and the public require is to provide an explicit legal exemption for the NHS on the face of the agreement.
"I urge the UK Government to ensure that the NHS is fully and explicitly exempt from TTIP and, if that is not the case, to use its veto at the European Council to prevent TTIP progressing."
Alyn Smith said:
"I have been explicit that I will deal with TTIP on its merits, on a pragmatic and principled basis, and on this principled and pragmatic assessment TTIP is falling short.
"I am delighted to announce that Nicola Sturgeon has urged the UK government to use its veto if the NHS is not explicitly exempted from TTIP.
"I think it could be possible to reform TTIP in a positive direction and I will use every effort to do so. But if there is any risk to the provision of public services in Scotland TTIP will not receive SNP support in any parliament, or any council chamber."
Alyn spoke on the TTIP motion at SNP conference:

Same Park, Same Guy: Other Woman Attacked by Chelsea King Suspect
Investigators searching shoreline after finding a piece of King's clothing.
March 2, 2010 -- A woman who fought off an attacker on a San Diego jogging trail has identified her assailant as the same man who is being held on suspicion of raping and killing teenager Chelsea King on the same jogging path, her sister told ABCNews.com today.
Candice Moncayo, 23, a graduate student in Colorado Springs, was shown a mug shot of John Gardner III, a convicted sex offender arrested in connection with the disappearance of King, and confirmed it was the same man who attacked her in February.
"Candice was reached by police to see if the man matched up with the man who attacked Chelsea King," Moncayo's sister Kayla Moncayo told ABC News today. "She looked at the pictures and told police, 'he's the same guy.'"
Gardner, 30, was arrested on Sunday, four days after King disappeared during a jog on the afternoon of Feb. 25. Police said they found Gardner's DNA on clothing belonging to King.
Police believe Gardner may also be connected to an attack on another missing San Diego teen, 14-year-old Amber DuBois who disappeared in February 2009.
Moncayo's sister said she hoped the information police learned could help them convict Gardner, who was arrested on suspicion of rape and first degree murder and will be arraigned in court Wednesday.
"When we heard about Chelsea King, immediately my family was concerned that it was the same man," said Kayla Moncayo. "We pray that Candice can provide helpful information and Chelsea will be found."
Kayla Moncayo, the opinion editor for the Silver Spur, the Rancho Bernardo High School newspaper, wrote about her sister's attack shortly after it took place. The story ran last Friday, one day after King disappeared.
Candice Moncayo was running on the trail when she "was tackled and thrown to the side of the running trail, caught off guard and without warning," her sister wrote.
"I thought he was going to rape me," Moncayo said of the overweight man who tackled her. "So I told him he would have to kill me first."
"He picked her up by the shoulders and began shaking her relentlessly," she wrote.
Moncayo fought her attacker, elbowing hard him in the nose. The shot made her assailant pause, allowing her to get out of his grasp and run away.
"All that was left of the ... attacker were the bruises he left on her and the DNA the police were able to swab from her elbow," according to the article.
"She is shaken up, but she's a strong girl," Kayla told ABC News today. "She has the joy of the lord on her."
The Search for Chelsea King
The search for King has focused the search on 14 miles of shoreline as police continue to probe the area with a high-tech drone aircraft and helicopters with infrared equipment.
But it's a search, some say, that never should have had reason to exist. Gardner was one of 83,000 registered sex offenders living in California, a state that is overburdened with staffing shortages and budget crises.
"The law is good, but it's got to be implemented," Ernie Allen, CEO of the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, told "Good Morning America." The reality is the most dangerous offenders seek situations where they can be anonymous, where no one knows they're there. Where they have easy access to children."
Allen said that changes are both needed and possible, but lawmakers can't use budget constraints as an excuse.
"There is no higher priority than protecting the children and maintaining public safety," he said.
In 2000, Gardner pleaded guilty to committing a forcible lewd act on a 13-year-old girl after she testified that she escaped after he tried to strangle her. He served five years of a six year prison sentence and was released even though a psychiatrist told the court that Gardner "would be a continued danger to underage girls in the community."
The community where Gardner lived is now outraged to learn that Gardner often stayed with his mother, who lives near an elementary school.
"He is on the Megan's Law Web site and as long as he lived lawfully, he could walk where he wanted to walk," San Diego County Sheriff's Department spokeswoman Jan Caldwell said.
There are 700,000 registered sex offenders in the United States, according to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. Most states rely on sex offenders to register and notify authorities about their whereabouts, but 100,000 are considered noncompliant.
California's Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation came under intense scrutiny last year after 1991 kidnapping victim Jaycee Dugard resurfaced and was found to have spent 18 years hidden in the backyard of registered sex offender Phillip Garrido and his wife, Nancy Garrido.
Dugard, who bore two children believed to have been fathered by Phillip Garrido, went undetected even though Garrido was a known violent offender. He was visited by parole officers and even police after a neighbor called in a tip that he might have someone living in his backyard.
Phillip and Nancy Garrido have pleaded not guilty to 29 felony charges, including rape and kidnapping.
Dugard, her two daughters and her mother are now suing the state for "various lapses" by the Department of Corrections. And the Office of the Inspector General released a scathing report in November finding numerous failings and missed opportunities by Garrido's parole officers.
Some Question Whether Sex Offenders Can Be Rehabilitated
Allen said immediate solutions to failures in tracking known sex offenders include better risk assessment of each offender as an individual and more time behind bars.
"Sentencing has to be improved for the most serious offenders and the public needs to be vigilant," he said.
Experts say potential predators, once out of prison, learn how to live beneath the public's radar and find loopholes in the laws meant to protect the public.
"There's little doubt that this case may become a kind of poster case for increased sanctions across the country against sexual offenders, so they do longer time," Jody Armour of the University of Southern California Law School said of the King disappearance.
But some people question whether full rehabilitation is ever possible.
"I'm not sure," Santa Clara County Sheriff Laurie Smith said. "But we find that the same people commit the same kinds of crime."

July 12, 2011: GAO Report Finds No New Drinking Water Contaminants Have Been Regulated in a Decade
New GAO Report Finds that No New Drinking Water Contaminants Have Been Regulated in Over a Decade, Despite Environmental Risks
Bush Administration Manipulated Science on Perchlorate
Washington, DC—Today Reps. Henry A. Waxman and Edward J. Markey and Senator Barbara Boxer released a new report by the Government Accountability Office (GAO) which found that the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has not made a determination to regulate any new drinking water contaminants, with one very recent exception, since 1996 when the Safe Drinking Water Act was amended. This comes at a time when there has been growing evidence about the threats to public health from unregulated drinking water contaminants.
The report also shows that the Bush administration manipulated science to justify its 2008 decision not to regulate perchlorate, a component of rocket fuel.
"GAO's report raises serious questions about whether the Bush administration manipulated scientific findings and downplayed the risks of perchlorate exposure on sensitive subpopulations, including pregnant women and children," said Rep. Waxman, Ranking Member of the House Energy and Commerce Committee.
"This GAO report reveals that during the recent Bush Administration, the EPA fell drastically short in fulfilling its mandate to monitor and assure safe drinking water for the public. Poor management decisions and program delays resulted in a lack of data, transparency, clarity and consistency and pushed EPA into murky regulatory waters instead of focusing on keeping our drinking water free from potentially dangerous chemicals. I am left questioning the credibility of many of EPA's decisions regarding drinking water made during these years. I hope that this report will serve as notice to Administrator Jackson that she has much work to do in order to address the problems the GAO has identified with EPA's safe drinking water program," said Rep. Markey, Ranking Member of the House Natural Resources Committee.
"Everyone has a right to clean and safe drinking water, and it is essential to the health of children and families that our drinking water be free from harmful chemicals and pollutants. GAO's investigation addresses the stunning fact that EPA has not made a determination to regulate any new drinking water contaminants, with one recent exception, in well over a decade. This failure has occurred despite mounting evidence of threats to public health from unregulated drinking water contaminants," said Senator Boxer, Chairman of the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee.
GAO also examined how EPA developed its 2008 preliminary determination that it did not need to regulate perchlorate. GAO concluded that the process was "atypical" and "lacked transparency." Key findings of the report include:
• EPA's perchlorate assessment was managed by a small, exclusive group of high level officials from inside the agency, who operated in conjunction with the Perchlorate Interagency Working Group (PIW). The PIW was led by the White House Council on Environmental Quality and was comprised of agency officials from the Office of Management and Budget, Department of Defense, Department of Energy, and NASA, among others.
• EPA used unusual methodologies to develop estimates for exposure to perchlorate and the sources of perchlorate exposure. Consequently, EPA likely underestimated the impact of perchlorate exposure on sensitive subpopulations, including pregnant women and children.
• The White House Office of Management intervened to ensure that the final regulatory determination downplayed the risk to certain subpopulations. Key EPA scientists told GAO that the agency "mischaracterized" scientific findings about the sensitivity of pregnant women and infants to perchlorate exposure to support the agreed-upon position that EPA did not need to regulate perchlorate.
The report identified "systemic limitations" in how EPA identifies and assesses new contaminants for regulation under the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA). The 1996 SDWA amendments required EPA to determine, every five years, whether additional chemicals or contaminants warrant regulation. GAO concluded that EPA lacks a clear process for identifying and prioritizing contaminants that pose the greatest public health concern, particularly for children and other sensitive subpopulations.
The GAO concluded that EPA should create a formal process to consider infants and children's unique vulnerabilities when creating drinking water safeguards and should increase the transparency of the Agency's decision-making to help increase credibility and accountability in such decisions. The report lays out a transparent and accountable framework that would enable EPA to use the best available science when creating drinking water protections.

Puppies can kill you with cuteness, but they may also be able to help cure you. At least that's what a new study hopes to prove.
"Obviously, we know that the children like to see the dogs," said Amy McCullough, American Humane Association's national director of humane research and therapy, speaking to NBC. "But the folks in risk management want some clinical data."
Finding that hard scientific proof is the goal of a new study by the American Humane Association (AHA) that aims to provide empirically-proven facts of what many anecdotally know to be true — puppy love can make you feel better.
The study, which advocates say may be the first official clinical trial on the effects of animal-assisted therapy on young cancer patients and their families, has backing from both Zoetis, a veterinary health firm, and the Pfizer Foundation.
For the study, researchers have designed a randomized, controlled trial in five children's hospitals where they will follow 100 children (grab a tissue) between the ages of 3 and 12 years old, who are newly diagnosed with cancer. 50 of the kids will receive visits from trained therapy dogs, and 50 will receive standard treatment without puppy love to ease the blow.
The study will track blood pressure, heart rate and psychological responses in the kids, their families and the caregivers lucky enough to get to work with the therapy dogs. The study isn't all about the kids, though. Researchers will also look at the effect on the dogs, measuring the level of the stress hormone cortisol in the animals' saliva before and after visits spent cuddling children, which will probably show that when it comes to kids and dogs, the love goes both ways.

If (and that's a big if) i'm gonna blog again, it'd better be using a blogging engine i can have fun with: here's my new experiment, in case you liked this now officially superseded one.
If (and that's a big if) i'm gonna blog again, it'd better be using a blogging engine i can have fun with: here's my new experiment, in case you liked this now officially superseded one.
When in 2009 i attended the International Lisp Conference, Dan Weinreb had been part of my personal pantheon for some time. There, i had, for the first and only time, the opportunity to see and listen to him in the flesh, and to confirm, once again, that really brilliant people are always approachable and kind; you can reach them without having to jump over a cohort of cheerleaders, they know much better than that. Despite that, i didn't say anything to him, nor even introduced myself; i was happy enough just listening.
Back home i wrote a blog post about ILC and Gerry Sussman, and, out of the blue, Dan chimed in, made some comments, and we exchanged some emails. He talked in them about the old days at MIT with David Moon and Gerry Sussman, of how later he had attended the SICM courses, about generics in Lisp and how hard they were to get right… just as you would to an old friend. Those days were brighter than average. A few months later, he was asking about some friends in Boston i was working with, and when ITA was bought i couldn't resist writing again and, as always, he found the time to write back and share.
I didn't know about Dan's illness, and today's news feel all but unreal and sad. I can't find the right words. So let me just say farewell, Dan. There's less kindness left in the world today.

I guess this is old hat for most of you, but, anyway, here's a mildly amusing page by Jamie Zawinski (he of the amusing homepage) on the "sanitization" process that Netscape's code suffered prior to its release. Says Jamie:
When we created mozilla.org and released (most of) the source code to Netscape Confusicator 4.x, Netscape's lawyers made us go through a big "sanitization" process on the source code. […] they also made us take out all the dirty words. Specifically, "any text containing vulgar or offensive words or expressions; any text that might be slanderous or libelous to individuals and/or institutions."
There follows a list of heavy swearing code snippets and comments. Strikingly, one of the censored words is hack. WTF?
I've just stumbled upon (via a post in John Cook's blog) an old article back at kuro5hin entitled the greatest program ever written. It describes 1k chess on the ZX81, a program capable of playing chess on the Sinclair ZX81, a computer endowed with a total memory of 1024 bytes, and written by David Horne. I didn't believe it either, until i saw it by myself. Kids these days!
Update:I've just learnt, thanks to a comment below, that there's actually an earlier chess program, written by Peter Jennings, of similar characteristics: Microchess for the Kim-1 computer. The linked webpages contain lots of information about the program, including listings. Pretty fun stuff.

Due to its smaller measurements, the Creeker 225 is especially suited for smaller, lighter paddlers who are looking for a safe boat, also for more powerful waters. The pronounced keel in the bow area as well as lengthwise grooves at the stern provide good control when paddling straight on and make the Creeker 225 fast. Flat landings are softer due to the progressive displacement of water.
