Originally a supporting character on The Huckleberry Hound Show, Yogi Bear was one of the most popular early Hanna-Barbera characters. Most episodes revolved around Yogi's attempts to do things that other Jellystone Park bears didn't do (or weren't allowed to do): make money, fly, dodge hibernation, escapeor simply relieve tourists of their pic-a-nic baskets. Yogi's sidekick, Boo-Boo, would often warn Yogi that "the ranger isn't going to like this!" Indeed, Yogi would invariably be scolded by Ranger Smith.
Basically, the premise was that Yogi and Boo-Boo would steal picnic baskets from visitors to Jellystone National Park, and hilarity would ensue.
The character was based on Yankees baseball player Lawrence Peter "Yogi" Berra, and given an Art Carney aspect to his character. He was popular enough to headline his own series in 1961. Supporting segments on The Yogi Bear Show featured Snagglepuss and Yakky Doodle. In 1964, Hanna-Barbera released its first animated feature, Hey There, It's Yogi Bear!, through Columbia Pictures. In the 1970s and 1980s, Yogi and his contemporaries appeared in several Crossover series. There were also a few prime-time specials, the best-remembered of which is probably the TV movie Yogi's First Christmas.
A live-action/CGI Yogi Bear feature film, with Dan Aykroyd as the voice of Yogi and Justin Timberlake as the voice of Boo-Boo, was released in December 2010.

Let's take a look at what tropes they've got on this web-a-site!
- Accessory-Wearing Cartoon Animal: Yogi wears a collar, tie, and hat, while Boo-Boo sports a bow tie.
- Accidental Ventriloquism: In Hey There, It's Yogi Bear!, when Yogi commandeers the Ranger's phone.Yogi: Hello? Hello? Is this the White House?
Ranger Smith: Yogi!
Yogi: Hey, the President knows my name.
- Adaptation Dye-Job: Cindy Bear was blue furred in the original shorts, though became light brown in later interpretations. Ranger Smith's uniform also changes color throughout the early series while Yogi's original design had light colored highlight around his eyes.
- Ageless Birthday Episode: Two of them: one for Ranger Smith and one for Yogi, and The New Yogi Bear Show had another one for Yogi.
- An Aesop: Primarily in Yogi's Gang.
- Animation Bump
- The New Yogi Bear Show is a bit more fluid than the original 1960s episodes.
- Hey There, It's Yogi Bear is also noticeably higher budget, bringing Hanna-Barbera back up to the standard of their later Tom and Jerry shorts.
- This was also the first Hanna-Barbera show in which characters had a distinct walk cycle.
- Bears Are Bad News: Well, they sure make Ranger Smith's job a lot harder.
- Beary Funny: That's Yogi in a nutshell.
- Big Damn Movie: Hey There, It's Yogi Bear!
- Big Eater: Yogi, of course. In the episode "Gleesome Threesome," he sits down at a hotel restaurant and says, "I'm not too hungry tonight, garçon, so uh, just bring me everything on the menu — twice!"
- Big Guy, Little Guy: Both bears walk around on their hind legs, and Yogi is as tall or taller than the humans, while Boo Boo is the size of a child.
- Bragging Theme Tune: Two, the original...Who is always on the spot? Who is? Yogi Bear!
Who keeps cool when things are hot? Who does? Yogi Bear!
Who believes the world's a dream and falls for some fantastic scheme
But always winds up on the beam? Yogi Bear!!
- ... and The Yogi Bear Show has one that's equal this and Expository Theme Tune.Yogi Bear is smarter than the average bear,
Yogi Bear is always in the ranger's hair.
At a picnic table you will find him there,
Stuffing down more goodies than the average bear.
He will sleep till noon, but before it's dark,
He'll have every picnic basket that's in Jellystone Park.
Yogi has it better than a millionaire,
Just because he's smarter than the average bear.note
- ... and The Yogi Bear Show has one that's equal this and Expository Theme Tune.
- Call of the Wild Blue Yonder: One episode featured Yogi helping a baby eagle who couldn't fly. After many attempts, the young eagle finally succeeds when he saves Yogi.
- Can't Live With Them, Can't Live Without Them: The majority of times Yogi or Ranger Smith leave Jellystone Park, the other ends up pining for him. The key plot point of "Home Sweet Jellystone".
- Captain Ersatz: Quack-Up from Yogi's Space Race and Galaxy Goof-Ups is Daffy Duck with white plumage. Mel Blanc even does almost the exact same voice for him.
- Catch Phrase: "Smarter than the average bear!" Also Boo Boo's oft-repeated line, "Mister Ranger isn't gonna like this, Yogi!"
- Deadpan Snarker: Boo Boo has become this in the most recent update.
- Depending on the Artist:
- In the original series, Ranger Smith's design changed frequently between episodes; they eventually decided upon his permanent design in Hey There, It's Yogi Bear!.
- As if that weren't enough, though, his appearance on Yogi's Gang gave him blond hair. Although he could have dyed it.
- Yogi himself had his muzzle fur expanded around his eyes initially.
- Cindy Bear was also initially just a female Yogi with a dress and blue fur before being redesigned to look more feminine.
- No two versions of the Jellystone Park entrance are ever alike, even in shows (and movies) that were made after the original shorts.
- Delayed Reaction: In Hey There, It's Yogi Bear!, Yogi comes out of hiding when he learns that Cindy is missing. He tells Ranger Smith he'll stay at the Ranger Station while Ranger Smith drives away to find her. Then he turns around when he realized it's Yogi.
- Dub Name Change: Yogi was known as Kumagoro in Japan, although Boo Boo and Ranger Smith retained their original names (with Smith usually referred to as "Smith-san," roughly the equivalent of "Mr. Smith").
- Early Installment Weirdness: Ironically, the original shorts themselves. As noted above, the characters' designs varied between shorts. The designs created for Hey There, it's Yogi Bear would eventually be used from that point on.
- On a more plot basis, several older Yogi shorts feature him trying to escape Jellystone Park, or episodes where he and Boo Boo aren't even in Jellystone Park. Some shorts don't even feature Boo Boo at all (e.g., "Slumber Party Smarty"). The particulars weren't fully hammered in until the spinoff.
- Expy: Some episodes from the Huckleberry Hound Show era, such as "Rah Rah Bear", feature different rangers in the place of Ranger Smith. In most cases, they're voiced by Yogi's voice actor, Daws Butler.
- Filching Food for Fun: Yogi Bear, a Funny Animal living in Jellystone National Park, has stealing picnic baskets as his calling card. He's by no means a malicious character, and there's no evidence he doesn't have sufficient food otherwise available (though he finds the usual bear diet of nuts and berries unappetizing), so he seems to be doing it mostly for fun.
- The Film of the Series: Hey There, It's Yogi Bear, and Yogi Bear (2010).
- Fractured Fairy Tale: Yogi once found himself and Boo Boo accidentally into the story of the Three Little Pigs.
- Half-Dressed Cartoon Animal: Cindy Bear wears a skirt but no top other than a scarf.
- Have a Gay Old Time: In "Booby Trapped Bear", the chief of the Ranger arrives to assess the situation because he was informed that a ranger was "molesting a bear." (in the sixties, Molest meant "Pester and harass", as opposed to, well...)
- Hero Antagonist: Ranger Smith, depending on your point of view, although Ranger Smith himself sees Yogi as just an antagonist, especially in later productions.note
- Holiday Pardon: In Yogi's First Christmas, Herman and Snively are let off the hook after they realize they were wrong about Christmas being "for dum-dums."
- Limited Animation: One of the earlier examples made for television. The only reason Yogi was given a collar and tie was so that the animators didn't have to draw below the neck for every frame.
- Loophole Abuse: When the Ranger demands Yogi follow the rule book, Yogi reads it to find all the loopholes he can.
- Lovable Rogue: Yogi to a tee.
- Minimalist Cast: Aside from a few campers, tourists and forest animals, the only characters we see in the Jellystone Park are Yogi, Boo-Boo, Cindy, and Ranger Smith. And Ranger Smith appears to be the only ranger working at Jellystone Park. Though both Hey There, It's Yogi Bear! and The New Yogi Bear Show, as well as the episode "Gleesome Threesome," show two other rangers (the last depicting a ranger who appears to be Smith's supervisor). The live-action movie has others as well.
- The Movie: Hey There, It's Yogi Bear!
- Mythology Gag: The two gangsters in the 1958 episode "Big Brave Bear" were first used the season prior on The Ruff & Reddy Show as outlaws Killer and Diller.
- Nice Job Breaking It, Hero!: The plot of the Hey There, It's Yogi Bear! film is kicked off thanks to this, with Yogi attempting to bluff Ranger Smith into thinking he's willing to leave the park and get transferred to the zoo unless he bends the "Do Not Feed the Bears" rules. The Ranger calls it and prepares to have him shipped to San Diego, which leads to a chain of events that ultimately end up with Cindy Bear trapped in a circus forced to perform for a cruel ringmaster and Yogi and Boo-Boo having to go and save her and then find their way back home.
- No Celebrities Were Harmed: Yogi's voice was based on Art Carney's character on The Honeymooners; further, his offbeat philosophy (and name) was allegedly meant to remind people of baseball star Yogi Berra (William Hanna and Joseph Barbera denied it).
- Phrase Catcher: In Yo Yogi!, whenever Yogi finishes kicking ass or his friends come to the rescue, his friends exclaim, "Yo Yogi!"
- Platonic Life-Partners: Yogi and Boo-Boo qualify, at least in theory — though a few observers consider it, er, significant that they share a bed together.
- Punny Name: Jellystone Park, an obvious pun on Yellowstone National Park. Yogi's own name is a play on baseball great Yogi Berra, though Bill and Joe claim that this was unintentional.
- Random Events Plot: Hey There, It's Yogi Bear! begins with the bears waking up from hibernation, with Yogi beginning his usual picnic basket-stealing routine. The entire movie starts to kick off when Yogi has enough of Ranger Smith bossing him around, so he demands him to lift the rules or he wishes to be transferred out of the park. So, Ranger Smith sends the bears to the San Diego Zoo after getting a call from them asking for a bear. Yogi tricks another bear in his place and hid for a while, unbeknownst to Boo-Boo and Cindy, leading the latter to have herself transferred out to be with him. Unfortunately, she's being sent to the St. Louis Zoo instead. She gets lost on the way and captured by crooked circus owners. Yogi comes out of hiding when he finds out about Cindy's disappearance, so he and Boo-Boo go off to find her. After rescuing her the three try to journey back to Jellystone, only to end up in the city, where Ranger Smith finds out from the news and brings them home.
- Ring Around the Collar
- Running Gag: In Hey There, It's Yogi Bear!, people keep running away from the sight of Yogi, Boo-Boo and Cindy.
- Say My Name: In Hey There, It's Yogi Bear!, Boo-Boo calls out Cindy's name as he tries to tell her she's being sent to another zoo instead of San Diego where Yogi is supposedly at.Boo-Boo: Cindy! Yogi isn't in St. Louis! CINDY! CIIIIIIINDYYY!!
- Scenery Porn: Jellystone Park in Hey There, It's Yogi Bear!.
- Sentimental Music Cue: Played surprisingly straight on both The Yogi Bear Show in the early-1960's and The New Yogi Bear Show from 1988, such as in Slap Happy Birthday, when Yogi and Boo Boo are in their cave talking about Ranger Smith's birthday (for a double whammy, the exact same music is re-used at the end of the episode when Yogi reveals their surprise party to the ranger).
- Sidekick: Boo-Boo.
- Spin-Off Babies: Yo Yogi!, although, not with babies.
- Spin-Off: The Yogi Bear Show is one of The Huckleberry Hound Show, where Yogi originated from.
- Talking Animal: Both Yogi And Boo-Boo can communicate with the Ranger in English.
- Tempting Fate: At the end of "A Bear Pair", Yogi dismisses Boo-Boo's concern that Ranger Smith wouldn't take the havoc Yogi wreaked in Paris very well. Unbeknownst to Yogi, Ranger Smith was behind Yogi during the whole conversation. Cue an instant Oh, Crap! reaction from Yogi when Smith reveals himself to Yogi with a baseball bat.
- Three Shorts: Yogi was traditionally the opener on The Huckleberry Hound Show. Then he became the opener of his own show.
- Tuckerization: In "The Buzzin' Bear", the rangers' names are Bill and Joe.
- Worthy Opponent: Yogi admits this about Ranger Smith in "Home Sweet Jellystone", outright becoming an Antagonist in Mourning after he leaves the park, losing any sense of competition in stealing picnic baskets anymore.
- You Say Tomato: Yogi's famous pronunciations of "av-a-redge" and "pic-a-nic". He also says "diff-a-rent" in the movie.
- Zany Scheme: Any and all of his attempts to steal "pic-a-nic baskets". It even says so in the theme song (for some of the early shorts) itself:"Who believes the world's a dream, and falls for some fantastic scheme, but always winds up on the beam? Yogi Bear!"

"I heard the voice of the Lord saying, whom shall I send?" –Isaiah
In my silence
Deep within,
I heard the voice of whom my soul loves.
I answered the call with much difficulties
Without understanding the path laid out for me,
I simply trust.
I trust the Master's plan
To take me to the promise of my deliberation.
I do not force myself to remember my past,
For it follows me like a shadow
Coming and going as it pleases.
Staying longer when the sun shines
In every crevice of my being
Measuring against my present
Stalking everywhere I set foot.
Then a stillness steps in
To rid the shadow too monstrous in nature;
Too stubborn to let loose of its hovering
Sometimes, I hide
Not a hiding of a coward; but one who waits,
Till the calamities be overpast
Sometimes, I face it with a force–
A force, a strength, which is completely supernatural-
Connecting me with the Source.

Digital data transmission is an important part of modern society. Optical communication is any form of telecommunication that uses light as the transmission medium. An optical communication system consists of a transmitter, which encodes a message into an optical signal, a channel, which carries the signal to its destination, and a receiver, which reproduces the message from the received optical signal.
RF-over-fiber refers to transmission of analog multiplexed radio-frequency signals over an optical fiber medium. RF-over-fiber technology delivers unprecedented performance levels for a broad range of applications from wireless networks to high-frequency signal distribution in avionics and military.
Optical time domain reflectometry (OTDR) is a fast spreading test method for checking condition of fiber optic cablings. As the fiber optic networks are built closer and closer to end users the cablings are laid in increasingly demanding environment requiring easy and simple diagnostics. In OTDR high power laser pulses are shot out to fiber cabling and the condition of the fiber link can be determined form the back reflection of the pulses.

Is he such a key character that if he ever got zombied/killed off, that the series would come crashing to a halt?
I see him as being like Alan Alda was in mash, carol oconner in All in thge Family, as the focal point the show is built upon, and so when they moved on, the show would just die off with them!

Northern Red Oak (Quercus rubra)
[ Trees > Hardwoods > Oaks . . . ] Forest Type: Oak-Hickory
by Michael Kuo
Note: The red oaks (those with bristle-tipped leaves) of eastern North America are notoriously difficult to separate--a task compounded by the fact that the trees often hybridize in nature.

Stature: 60-100 feet high (or larger); to 4 feet in diameter; with a broad, rounded crown.
Leaves: With bristle tips; 5-9 inches long; with 7-11 lobes; sinuses extending about halfway to the midrib; often dull (not shiny) on the upper surface; dark green above; lighter green and smooth (except for a few hairs near the ribs) below.
Bark: Dark gray to black; thick; often furrowed and with wide, flat, paler ridges in age; from a distance often appearing striped.
Acorns: Bitter; to 1 inch long; enclosed at the base, or to 1/3 of the length, in a shallow cup with pressed-down scales (the tips of the scales are not "free"); appearing every two years.
Buds: About 1/3 inch long; smooth and shiny, or with a few small hairs near the scales; reddish brown.
Frequent Mushroom Associates:
Cortinarius torvus; Inonotus dryadeus; Laetiporus cincinnatus; Leccinum albellum; Leccinum subglabripes; R. tenuiceps; and many others.

There is a bewildering array of vessels to choose from - it's an embarrassment of riches. Some have already been lovingly restored, while others are still dilapidated and waiting for their turn.
Although there are 11 artists, it will be a miracle if we manage to paint every one.
Our group of artists will hold an exhibition of our completed paintings on the 'tween decks of the tall ship 'James Craig', which is the jewel in the crown of the Sydney Heritage Fleet, from 27th April 2013 - 3rd May 2013.
The official opening will be 2pm on Saturday 27th April by Tanya Plibersek MP.
Everyone is welcome!

The Blush Rush-Blush Draping!
Contouring has met its match! The latest type of chiseling is created with large brush strokes of blush and more blush. Blush draping replaces the traditional contouring and highlighting trend of the 80's. It is now making a comeback, this spring, in the form of blush to enhance cheekbones, brow bones, and eyes.
Not much is needed to recreate this look. one shade of blush or eyeshadow in hues of pink or coral will do. Keep in mind that the cheek is overly exaggerated and is the center of attention with a bit of the same shade swept across the eyelid and over the temples. This trend will give you a reason to blush!
This technique and many more will be demonstrated at our makeup party next week!

Over time, my family's accumulation of recipes grew large enough that we decided to organize them into a family cookbook. Our first family cookbook was fairly simple. We typed the recipes on our computer, printed them out, placed them in sheet protectors, and loaded them into three-ring binders. Almost immediately they became a priceless addition to our family history, along with our blogs, journals, and other genealogy work. We even began giving them to extended family as gifts.
Ours were simple binders, but many self-publishing sites exist online where, usually for a fee, you can upload recipes, add pictures, and create professional-looking paperback or hard-cover copies of your family cookbook.
We gave recipes personalized titles, such as "Grandma's Sunday Orange Rolls." We further customized our cookbook by including a header beneath each recipe's title explaining where the recipe originated and why it was important to us. For example, "Sunday dinner was always a special treat at Grandma Hatch's with her warm and delicious orange rolls."
For our cookbook, we took pictures of our young children following the recipes while wearing aprons and chef hats and also included some of their hand-drawn pictures of specific recipes, all of which have become priceless to us. We have decided that for our next edition we will use pictures of family gatherings where the item was served or pictures of the person we associate with the recipe.
When creating your own family cookbook, involve as many family members as you can. Include recipes that have been passed down for generations, as well as new family favorites.
A family cookbook can be so much more than just recipes; if you have stories that go along with certain dishes, include them on the same page! What if someone brought a dish to a reunion that was a total flop and has become a running joke in the family? Include it, of course!
For us, our family cookbook was a fun project that brought our family together and has certainly become something we use often and will treasure for years to come.

If I could recommend any back-to-back travel, may I suggest Hawaii to New York? The juxtaposition is so great: Colors indicative of 75 degree weather, the ocean song lullaby and limited neighbors contrasted with the hustle, bustle and glorious mayhem in Manhattan on New Year's weekend. My mind was still in Oahu when I stepped out of Penn Station and someone spit on my shoe. I do love the city! It made me smile because it meant I was in New York and that it had been too long since I last visited. I spent the weekend making friends at a few dog runs and I was in absolute heaven! I couldn't have asked for a better way to ring in the new year.
Thanks to all the wonderful people and dogs I met in Manhattan: It was a great pleasure to be a part of doggie play time!

How To Clean Wood Furniture
Wooden furniture can be a cherished heirloom or a favourite chair or table. No matter what the furniture each family or person has a piece of wooden furniture that we love and wish to keep intact for a long time. Keeping wooden furniture clean and maintaining it can be hard as wood has a tendency of accumulating dust, grease and dirt.
Why is wooden furniture prone to dust and damage:
Wood is prone to collecting dirt and grease from the environment. It also has a tendency of slowly losing its sheen due to wear or loss of polish wooden furniture can get easily stained as it has a tendency of absorbing the oils or water thus they can easily stain specially if not polished and cleaned regularly.
Preventing dirt accumulation and damage to your wooden furniture:
There are a number of factors that contribute to dirtying and damage to you wooden furniture. The most common cause is the neglect in caring for this furniture.
Wooden furniture requires regular dusting, cleaning , varnish and waxing so as to keep its sheen and to prevent damage to the furniture.
Storing furniture improperly as in a dirty are or not covering them while storage , exposure to moisture , humidity and light and rodents can all lead to damage and destruction of wooden furniture.
Steps to keep your wooden furniture clean and intact:
- Dusting: dusting is a must to keep your furniture clean and free from dust. Dusting ensures that your furniture doesn't accumulate dust and remains clean. Dusting wooden furniture once daily or at least 2-3 times in a week is a good idea. You could use a rag cloth, a feather duster or a brush to keep the dirt away. While a feather duster will clean large surfaces it can get into the corners and crevices this can be done with a brush or a cloth.
- Soap and water: you must not use soap and water on a regular basis as it can stain and damage the wood use soap and water sparingly to get rid of hard stains. Clean immediately with a dry cloth to avoid staining.
- Commercial cleaners: they contain powerful ingredients that can help clean you wooden furniture and leave it with a clean sheen. However the disadvantage of these cleaners is that they can contain chemicals. Thus use then sparingly, in an open space and keep away from skin and children.
- Homemade cleaners: there are a number of home made products that can be used to clean the wooden surface. These work nearly as well as the commercial products and are safe to use.
Non toxic nature products that can be used to clean wooden furniture:
Although a number of commercial products are available in the market that can be used to clean wooden furniture these products may contain chemicals that may be a health hazard. There area number of products that are available at home which you can use to clean wooden furniture.
- Vinegar : acidic in nature it cuts through grease and grime and is great at removing oily stains and hard to remove greasy deposits.
- Lime juice: another acidic product with an action similar to vinegar with the positive of a great smell.
- Olive oil: can be used to clean furniture and the oil also leaves your wooden furniture with a great polish.
- Turpentine and linseed oil: the mixture is a powerful cleaner, it cuts through the grime and leave you furniture with a great polish. The only disadvantage is the pungent odour.
Tips to get rid of common stains and dirt:
- Dirt and grime: you could dust the surface and then use a mixture of turpentine and vinegar or olive oil and lime juice to clean the surface.
- Removing dark moisture stains: use a mild abrasive such as sand paper and try to remove the surface layer, however make sure you do not damage the surface or create an uneven surface, 2-3 rubs should be enough. Then proceed to cleaning with the above agents and apply varnish.
Wood & Moisture
Furniture is also affected by humidity. Wood expands and contracts as the moisture in the air changes. The ideal range (but not the only expectable range) for relative humidity (RH) is between 45 and 55 percent. If a dramatic change occurs in the RH it is possible that furniture may experience shrinkage damage and warping.
Finish and veneer detachment is also a possibility. Furniture exposed to high humidity levels for a prolonged period of time may experience mold growth and insect infestation. Avoid placing furniture in attics, basements or any area in the home that may experience extreme temperature or RH changes. For wood furniture cleaning, read this guide.
Difference Between Furniture Polish and Furniture Polish
Furniture Polish includes a broad rage of products, from paste wax, liquid wax, lemon oil, spray polish, cream polish, this polish, that polish, etc., etc., etc. The list is never ending and can be very confusing.
It seems like anything you put on your furniture falls into the furniture polish category. Not to complicate things further but there is another group of furniture care products that also belong in this category.
They are the furniture revivers, burnishing polish, polishing creams, polishing liquids, waxes that wax…and polish?! How can this be? How can they be so different…and the same? Now I'm confused! I just wanted a furniture polish!
Furniture Polish for wood furniture care
Technically, each of the products that I have mentioned are a furniture polish. That is, they will all make the furniture's surface smooth (or appear smooth) and glossy. However, most people, when they think of furniture polish, are thinking of the "furniture polish" that they can hold in their hand and spray on the furniture. Yes, of course, a furniture polish! Don't you wish it was that simple? It isn't. It is.
I'll explain: Keep in mind that to "polish" something means to make the surface smooth and glossy. An example would be the results produced after polishing your silver or jewelry. This type of polish requires some kind of mechanical participation in order to be successful. It can be applied and buffed by hand or machine but the physical act must be carried out in order to achieve success. Furniture revivers and burnishing creams fit into this category and have at least one of two key ingredients in common.
They will have some type of burnishing agent, like pumice powder for instance or a chemical like mineral spirits. Some will have both and some will use a water base rather than a chemical base. Whatever the formula, the coarseness of the burnishing agent and/or how aggressive the chemical is, will determine how quickly a smooth, glossy surface will appear.
There are many considerations when choosing one of these products…far too many to mention here. In the context of this discussion, it is important to note the difference between these polishes and the more familiar group of "furniture polishes" that I will describe in a moment. The aforementioned polishes however, will actually affect the finished surface. They [restore] reflective clarity by removing surface scratches, scuff marks and white ring marks that obscure the view of the wood below.
There are other Furniture Polishes
The other and more familiar furniture polish; spray polish, oil polish, cream polish, paste wax, liquid wax, etc., all [restore] reflective clarity to some degree. However, they do this by obscuring the scratches, rather than removing them, giving the [impression] of a smooth, glossy surface. A furniture polish that contains wax and a furniture polish that contains oil i.e. mineral (aka lemon oil), both "fill" the scratches, "leveling the surface", so that the light reflected back is less diffused.
This effect tricks the eye into thinking that the surface is smooth and shinny, when actually nothing has changed except the esthetic value.
That is unless you use a furniture polish that contains wax, in which case you have also added a degree of surface protection. Mineral oil based furniture polish offers NO surface protection whatsoever and once the oil has evaporated, so goes the effect.
Furniture polish containing wax does not do this because a thin coat of wax is left behind, which does not evaporate. The wax creates a barrier coat, protecting the surface, allowing whatever is set on the wax to move across it, rather than the finish. This added protection helps guard against white ring marks and scuff marks that over time will obscure the finish and the view of the wood.
Polishing Furniture Without Hurting the Wax
Is there a way to maintain a paste wax and liquid wax finish with a spray polish, without harming it? Yes, there are two ways.
The first is a professional trick and still requires that you are careful. Rather than spraying the furniture polish directly on the surface, spray it on the polishing cloth. A soft cotton cloth is perfect! When you do this two things happen. Some of the solvent will absorb into the cloth and the rest will evaporate, leaving only the wax and a little solvent vapor.
If you are careful, you will be touching the surface with only the wax that is left on the polishing cloth. If this approach causes too much trepidation, I know of one another professional trick that is much easier. In fact, you could do it with your eyes closed! Try using The Furniture Butler Patina Protector or similar product. Patina Protector contains NO solvent and is non-hazardous and safe for ALL finishes. In fact, it will actually increase the performance and protection of all waxed surfaces. Just spray it on the surface or a cloth and wipe. Voila, a safe, easy and worry-free furniture polish. You see, it is that simple.
Tips On How To Care For Antique Furniture
When developing a preservation plan for your antique furniture, furniture paste wax is a useful tool in reducing wear and detouring effects from the elements. It is not the definitive factor that makes up a successful furniture care plan. Remember, wood is a natural substance and reacts to environmental changes. Light and humidity are two other factors that must be considered. Their affects on furniture can be devastating.
Ultraviolet (UV) light is particularly harmful and causes irreversible damage. The light and increased temperature accelerates the degradation of finishes and colorants. Damage, in severe cases, can only be restored after stripping and refinishing.
This loss of "patina" can greatly affect the value of your furniture, particularly if it is an antique. Furniture should be moved out of the direct sunlight. Blinds and curtains are helpful in diffusing the intensity of sunlight, but museum grade window film is the best.
There are window films available today that are clear and provide 99.9% protection from harmful UV rays, as well as significantly reducing temperature levels in the home.
How To Clean Leather Furniture – Tips and Guidelines
Buying leather furniture is sometimes daunting because thinking of after-care can lead people to think that it is hard to look after; here are some tips on how to clean leather furniture. Maintaining your furniture does not have to be costly you only need to know the correct way on how to do it and also more importantly not to damage it by cleaning it.
Read: Caring For Leather Upholstery – Dos and Donts!
Most people do not know how to clean leather furniture properly and end up causing more damage than good when cleaning out any spillages or stains. This is because if you do it the wrong way you could end up scratching the leather or causing it to fade in patchy areas.
Cleaning Leather and Leather Care is an easy task that should never be overlooked. Leather demands, at the very least, the same consideration that is given to all fine wood furniture and should be cared for and maintained on a regular basis. Leather care performed correctly will preserve the natural beauty and suppleness of the leather, while extending it's life dramatically. Neglecting your leather can prove very costly, particularly if it is antique leather.
Having to replace any leather because of neglect is costly and tragic but if it is antique leather, it can be devastating, as all of the historic value is lost.
About Leather / Leather Care Tips
Leather is a porous material but very durable and because of this quality there is a tendency to neglect it. Unfortunately, because of the leathers porosity, it is vulnerable to contaminants such as dust, dirt, grease, grime, smoke, perspiration and other environmental toxins. These toxins can settle on the surface of the leather and potentially damage or discolor it.
Eventually, if neglect or poor maintenance continues, the toxins will migrate into the leather pores and affect the integrity of the leather fibers. It is at this moment that the leather fibers will begin to deteriorate, losing strength and flexibility, which becomes noticeable when the leather hardens and begins to crack.
Heat and sunlight are particularly harmful to leather, as they will dry the natural oils, fade the color of the leather and accelerate the degradation of the leather. UV light is responsible for the leather fading but it also increases the temperature of the leather, producing heat that will dehydrate the leather fibers. Heating vents, space heaters and fireplaces are heat sources that should also be considered.
Leather furniture and leather articles should be moved out of the direct sunlight and away from other harsh heat sources. If doing so is not possible, practical or desirable, then developing a leather care and maintenance plan becomes more critical.
Leather Care Products
Deciding on leather care products can be confusing and a bit overwhelming, particularly with so many leather care products and methods from which to choose. It is important to remember that leather is a dynamic natural material that is affected by its environment. Simply put, it is skin that has been tanned to resist decay.
The key word here is "resist" decay and although leather is very durable, it will not last indefinitely. Generations? Yes, if like most other things, you care for the leather…properly. Think of leather care in a similar way that you would care for your own skin.
Leather should be cleaned and maintained, kept out of harsh and detrimental environments, deep cleaned and conditioned once and awhile, and sometimes just left alone. But unlike your skin, leather is unable to regenerate the natural oils and nutrients needed to maintain elasticity and suppleness.
So "feed" and love your leather as you would care for your own skin, using quality leather care products that are safe, avoiding harsh chemicals and leather care products containing silicon that is known to desiccate the leather. Do not use leather care products that simply sit on the leather surface and become sticky and collect dust.
Dust particles on leather are known to be abrasive and under perfect conditions, become reactive if moisture is introduced. In other words, love your leather, love your furniture and love life!
Floor Care
Although you wouldnt consider your floor as part of your furniture, it is still important to look after. Over time we will build a dedicated Floor Care section on this site. Please take a look at our post on Floor Scrubbers for example for cleaning floors.

Our strategy for provisioning for the passage from Hawaii to Tahiti was simple: get as much ham and cheese as possible to fit in the fridge, prepackaged sliced bread, and fill the freezer with steak and bacon from my locally sourced 'creatine dealer' on Oahu. Supplement with fresh fruits & avocados for as long as they will last, and lots of dried foods like crackers, cookies, and these nifty little crepes that Costco started carrying recently, which were a real hit with the crew. One thing is for sure: there was no shortage of food or coconut cookies on this passage like the last one.
It turns out our fridge can carry a lot: 14 double packages of Ham and 17 double packages of Swiss Cheese from Costco, for a total of 1344 slices of ham and 1428 slices of cheese. I obviously overestimated our needs during and after the passage, and we still have about half that quantity in the fridge after more than a month. We only ate 336 slices of each during our 3 weeks at sea, and continue to make slow progress against what seems like a bottomless supply of Jarlsberg and Ham. This and the steaks came in handy once we arrived in Rangiroa – the stores there are sparsely provisioned, and the meat and cheese supplies were looking rather sad in frozen or canned form.
Fortunately the expiration dates are months into the future, and the steaks and bacon are almost fully consumed. The last slice of non-moldy bread was eaten yesterday. Overall, we were impressed with the pre-sliced Killer Dave packages, which lasted for 3 weeks in their packaging with no problems and only started developing mold in the last week. The fish in the lagoon ate well that day.
One last note is that about 10 days into the passage we decided to turn the freezer off in order to conserve power, so all frozen meats were moved to the fridge. They lasted well for the last 3 weeks, and our Rangiroa menu was filled with yummy steaks and bacon. In retrospect, we should have kept the freezer off to begin with (we should know better, the Autopilot takes so much extra power) and only taken a couple of the steaks with us to celebrate our arrival.
We're almost in Papeete now and it will be fun to see what fresh local fish & fruit we can find at the Farmers Market. And maybe a baguette or two for those Ham and Cheese sandwiches.

Alcohol Free Bars? Yes!by baladmin | April 11, 2014
Just when you think you have heard it all… well you may have not heard this: In the United Kingdom, alcohol free bars are starting to open up. Many of these bars are supported by charities in an effort to fight alcohol abuse.
People Who Drink Alcohol Are changing
According to Sky News the attitudes about alcohol are shifting. Figures from the Office for National Statistics suggest UK alcohol habits are changing among young people. The number of people, aged 25-44, who said they had had a drink in the previous week dropped from 74% to 63% for men and from 62% to 50% for women, between 2005 and 2012.
Young people today ages 30 and up are starting to question why socializing has to include alcohol and getting drunk. Those of us in recovery know that the best socializing comes without drugs or alcohol, even if it did takes us a while to learn that!
Benefits of Alcohol Free Bars
Customers of this new trend say that it's cool to be able to go out and not have to worry about spending a bunch of money on alcohol or worry about how you're going to get home. The added bonus is that you don't wake up with a hangover!
Sober Socializing in America
Alcohol Free Bars is a new concept that has yet to catch on in the United States. Right now most of us in recovery still hang out at the local coffee haunts and it would be nice to see some night time alcohol free bars spring up.
Sober is Chic
This is one more demonstration that society as a whole is changing its attitudes about drinking, and living a sober lifestyle is now the new chic! Cheers!

Connecting with Our Schools
The conversation about public education in Alabama has long been dominated by the Experts in education. When this thing called public education began, though, parents and families were integral members of the team, strengthening schools from the inside out and the outside in, alongside the Experts. We brought much to the Table of our community's education team and expected much in return. There was a shared responsibility for the goings-on in our public schools. We were a team: the Experts and us.
But somewhere along the way, the Experts pushed us out the door saying, "We're Experts. Trust us. Send us public money, well-fed kids; read to them, teach them how to behave, and we've got the rest of this education thing covered." In short, they sent half the team home.
In too many places, this hasn't turned out to be a winning strategy. Our schools and school communities have suffered because the team split apart. The Experts don't want to recognize their role in shutting us out, limiting our role, and generally becoming disrespectful, even disdainful, of the much-needed perspective that parents and families bring to the team and to the Table.
It's not my intention to create an "us" (parents and families) and "them" (Experts) dialogue, and I don't mean to be harsh. I don't mean to imply that the Experts are wrong or bad for our public schools. This is simply the stark result of the professionalization of education and the ever-increasing number of Experts at the Table. A Table that all too often doesn't have an available seat for parents and families.
Parents and Families Want and Need a Connection
"There needs to be a connection between the community and the school."
Haven't we all felt that way? And while I've said those same words many times, that quote is not from me. Rather, it is the first quote mentioned in the Community Agreement composed (by Experts) of the desires of residents that participated in the Yes We Can! Birmingham movement.
Parents and families want and need a connection, an authentic partnership with our schools. We have to find a way to reconnect the team.
"Make Sure Your Child Eats Breakfast" and Other Roles and Rules
In too many cases, the only connection we have is the one defined and allowed by the Experts (see the blue box to the right to learn who these Experts are). They hold all of the cards and all of the keys to the connection parents and families seek.
The Experts dole out roles for parents and families and dictate how parents should perform those roles: "Make sure your child eats breakfast. Make time to do homework with your child. Set aside a quiet area for your child to study. Make sure your child gets plenty of sleep. Teach your child to respect the teacher and behave in the classroom. Join the parent organization." And the list goes on.
They tell us what the rules are: when our children are considered sick enough to miss school, where we can park (and where we can't), what time the school doors are open, when teachers are available to speak with us about our child, what supplies we are required to purchase….and the list goes on.
They happily and exhaustively list all of the things we need to do, and work hard to point the finger in our direction when our child is struggling. "Did something happen at home today? Johnny seemed distracted." "Jane is paying less attention to her schoolwork. Has something changed in her routine or home environment?"
They willingly share information about our own children, but stop short of discussing and engaging us in school-wide struggles or initiatives.
So many rules to follow. Such a limited role we are allowed to pursue as a member of the team. The Experts have taken all of those roles from us and made all of the rules about our schools without ever consulting us.
Yet when we question something other than those issues related to our own child, such as the classroom environment or the curriculum being considered, many Experts seem distressed that we dare attempt to cross into (what they perceive to be) their turf and step to the Table without their personal invitation.
Being the Only One in an Army of Only Ones
Whenever I tried to break out of the Expert-defined role of parent in my local district and question the decisions that were made, the Experts were quick to accuse me of being the "only one", as in "Ms. Crain, you're the only one who has a problem with that." As I continued asking questions and sharing my concerns with other parents and families, it turns out I wasn't the only one after all. In fact, I am surrounded by only ones, many of whom have become close friends and allies in the push to regain a legitimate connection and our legitimate seat at the Table.
There is a huge and ever-growing army of parents and families who want, and in some cases are demanding, a seat at the Table where the decisions are made that affect our neighborhood schools.
Connecting with the Experts- It's a Pretty Tough Task
Communication is at the heart of any connection, any authentic partnership. Yet there is a real void (more like an abyss) in the type of communication that we need to engage with the Experts about what we want for our schools and communities. We hear what the Experts have decided for our schools after they've made their decision. Sure, maybe they hold a public hearing to make it look like they're listening, but we all know that the plans laid out in those public meetings were a done deal before they ever set up the meeting.
A personal favorite example: a city board of education president who stated "y'all left me hanging" to the other board members who refused to make a motion to fire a superintendent. Talk about a done deal. Or so it was supposed by that board president.
Another favorite example is the theater of the public hearing on the annual school district budget. No input from ordinary members of the public is genuinely considered, even though the law specifically requires it: "Each board shall seek input from the public concerning the proposed budget and the allocation of resources."
We need to know about those plans and those budgets prior to the discussion phase. We need to be seated at that Table when the subject is first discussed. And the Experts really need us at the Table. Though I'm not convinced they know that yet.
Regaining Our Seat at the Table
I won't kid you. The Table is pretty full of Experts working to improve our public schools. When we ask for our seat, they will try hard to seat us at the Kiddie Table, where the sub-committees and working groups give input that is never seriously entertained by the folks at the Big Table. But we must continue to work to regain our seat. It is our duty as parents and families…and as members of the public in our public schools. The public schools will not survive without the public's authentic participation.
[Read any of David Mathews' books on the public's role in public education to find out where I get these wild ideas.]
A New Way to Jump-Start the Connection
Through this web site, the Alabama School Connection (ASC), I've shared information about legislation that's being considered, done a few in-depth reports (wait till you see the results of this summer's efforts!), and generally worked to inform parents and families about the stuff that's being discussed at the state level (and a few local places) that will affect our children in public education in Alabama in an effort to jump-start the missing connection.
The mission of the ASC is pretty simple: share information with large numbers of parents and families so that we speak a common language with the Experts, become effective team members and ultimately become full partners in our public schools. It's stated a little differently on the About page, but the overarching and most simply stated goal is to empower parents and families through sharing information.
Up until now, my efforts have been entirely voluntary. It's time to make an honest organization out of the ASC, though, and I am making plans to become a non-profit news organization. During this process, you may notice a few changes, hopefully all for the better, but please let me know what is helpful and what is not. The online Family-School Partnership Academy creation is well underway, and I'm hearing from more folks who want to learn the best way to connect with their schools and districts.
Here's an interview with the public affairs radio show "Viewpoint Alabama" that aired on June 9, 2013, where I shared the goals and purpose of the ASC and how parents and families can better engage with and advocate for our public schools.
I hope that you will not only read this stuff yourself, but share it with other parents and families to build an informed and engaged community willing to step to the Table, connect and engage in conversation with the Experts in your school and district.
We must form authentic partnerships with the Experts who control our public schools. We must be willing to do what it takes to become authentic partners. Family-school partnerships are the only reform efforts that have ever resulted in meaningful, sustainable improvement in our schools. We can't do it without the Experts. And the Experts can't do it without us.
P.S. For the Experts who are reading this, please read this and this. These two documents are a wonderful introduction to authentic partnerships and engagement in our public schools. Here's a framework for building family-school partnerships that is not only helpful, but downright encouraging! Please ask us to join you at the Table the next time you have the opportunity to do so. Thank you for your continued dedication to our children and our school communities. We know we need you to help us become authentic partners in our public schools.

Following the initial portion of the Buffalo Sabres' 2001 training camp, the club began to whittle down the number of players on the camp roster. This process is no doubt excruciating for both players and coaches, alike, as it places players on the outside, away from their goal of being on the inside as a member of the Buffalo Sabres hockey club.
As is usually the case, the first players to be dropped from the camp roster are the players still possessing junior eligibility. The prospects returned to their respective junior teams from this year's camp include Gerard Dicaire (Seattle-WHL), Paul Gaustad (Portland-WHL), Ryan Jorde (Tri-City-WHL), Sean McMorrow (London-OHL), Jason Pominville (Shawinigan-QMJHL), Ghyslain Rousseau (Baie-Comeau-QMJHL), Derek Roy (Kitchener-OHL) and Chris Thorburn (North Bay-OHL).
In addition to these players, Marek Dubec and Calle Aslund have apparently returned to Europe. Calle has returned to Sweden, and is playing for Huddinge of the Swedish junior league while he considers his options. Marek has most likely returned to the Czech Republic, but I have not found his name on any roster.
From these youngsters, the player that clearly stood out during training camp was RW Jason Pominville, a 2001 2nd round choice. Jason possesses good speed and strength, as well as a scorer's touch and the knack for being around the puck. Pominville lined up with C Tim Connolly and LW Stu Barnes for most of the camp scrimmages, with Jason being on the receiving end of several deft passes from newcomer Connolly. Jason finished camp tournament with 3 goals while adding 1 assist, as he and his Team Black teammates took the Jack Gatecliff Memorial Cup.
Sabres coach Lindy Ruff went out of his way to compliment the work of Pominville, and was no doubt impressed with Jason's finishing skills. The Repentigny, Quebec native appears to be the most advanced of all the 2001 draft picks, and might well be the sniper that the Sabres have been looking for since Alex Mogilny was traded back in '95.
Two other 2001 picks, centers Derek Roy and Chris Thorburn, displayed some of the skills that made them 2nd round picks. Roy has good speed and a good shot, while performing like a player who is several inches taller than Derek's listed height of 5'8″. Thorburn displayed good playmaking skills during the scrimmages, but was less effective on his own scoring chances. Ultimately, both players are in need of further development, and they'll no doubt receive plenty of playing time with their respective OHL teams.
Another of the young prospects, Slovak forward Marek Dubec, displayed a scorer's touch last season while playing for Vsetin in the Czech junior league. Dubec displayed a little of that form during the camp scrimmages, as he netted two goals for Team Red (the players were divided into Red, Black and Grey teams).
As for the remaining junior talent, enforcers such as Ryan Jorde and Sean McMorrow rarely had the opportunity to display their pugilistic talents. The scrimmages tend to be more wide-open affairs, so there isn't much in the way of physical contact. 2000 draft picks Paul Gaustad and Gerard Dicaire returned to their WHL teams, where they will be looked to for leadership and offense, as both players look to build on solid 2000-01 seasons. Another 2000 draftee, Ghyslain Rousseau, will be looking to erase the memory of a disappointing 00-01 season, as he will be the starting goaltender for the Baie-Comeau Drakkar of the QMJHL. Finally, Swedish draftee Calle Aslund will attempt to improve his game while also adjusting to the North American rinks, as he moves to the London to play for the Knights of the OHL.
Part II: Rochester and Europe

Student Guidelines
You will be expected to work hard, as it is impossible to succeed in any of the courses without a high level of commitment and without completing all the required work.
We are first and foremost an educational establishment with student success as its main aim and everything we provide for our students and expect of them is geared towards achieving this.
Mature adult behaviour is also expected.
The relationship between staff and students post-sixteen is very different from that in Key Stages three and four and it relies on co-operation and mutual support.

Announcing FIRST KISSES AND OTHER MISFORTUNES, a novella by Kimberly Karalius!
Close your eyes. Okay, maybe not literally. Metaphorically. Please, thanks.Now imagine Grimbaud: chocolate-drizzled waffles, sparkling canals, and marble cupids perched on red brick buildings, aiming their arrows at the townspeople below. Now imagine it… IN SUMMMER.
That's right. Summer. Having traveled there quite a few times myself, I can tell you that Grimbaud is a pretty romantic town to visit during summer. Festivals abound. New love charms are crafted. School is out. And Nico Barnes hopes that the magic of summer rubs off on him this year so that he can have his first kiss with Martin Pauwels.
Did I really just mention Nico and Martin? Yes, yes I did. Is there a story brewing? Oh, it's already been brewed. In fact, it's only a few days away from sitting in your hands (with your name correctly scribbled on the cup).
I am very pleased to announce First Kisses and Other Misfortunes, a FREE e-book novella featuring Nico and Martin! Swoon Reads will be releasing their story on February 8th!
How cool is it that First Kisses is releasing right before Valentine's Day? There's no better way to celebrate this romantic month than visiting Grimbaud again. The timing couldn't be better. So whether you wake up on the 8th to a giant bowl of conversation hearts from your loved one or to the sound of your blaring alarm clock, nothing except a drained battery can stop you from downloading and enjoying a copy of First Kisses!
While working on my revisions for Love Charms and Other Catastrophes, I felt that Nico and Martin needed some alone time on the page. Their relationship is so fragile and hopeful at the end of Love Fortunes, but by the time we reach Love Charms, they've been dating for some time.
I remember calling Holly with an idea. "I'm dying to write about what happens to Nico and Martin over the summer between books," I said, "How they became a couple. Because it wasn't easy."
And Holly was like "of course it wasn't easy tell me what happened" and we outlined and developed what became the novella.
First Kisses and Other Misfortunes will be bringing a grab bag of anxiety from two very adorable, worried boys, swim trunks, arguments and apologies, an old enemy, spying, and a whole lot of charming romance!I can't wait for you to read Nico and Martin's story and I'm thankful that Swoon Reads felt the same way as me about sharing another piece of Grimbaud with you.
First Kisses and Other Misfortunes is now available for preorder! Stake out your copy today!

As you might know, I had planned on making Christmas all year round so I don't need to stress with them by the end of the year. I'm not doing too good with that – it's already a couple of months since my last Christmas card.
Today's card is navy and white, with a white silhouette tree, and a background of dotted cardstock. I've used Mojo Monday's sketch #496 for the layout of the card.
I also submit my card to the following challenges:
Making a card for IN{K}SPIRE_me's challenge #293 – mint, brown and white – I immediately knew I wanted to use papers from one of Stamperia's Christmas paper sets. I know I've mentioned it before, but I have to say once again that Stamperia is one of my fave paper designers. The circle with snowflakes is a stamp from Creative Epressions, which I embossed with chocolate brown embossinpowder, and then cut out the image around the edges of the stamped circle.
I used the sketch from The Crafter's Cafe challenge #169 for the layout of my card.
I also submit my card to the following challenges:
It's always time for Christmas cards, right? Here's one in blue and white with snowflakes. The background is a vellum with glittery snowflakes print. In the corners I've added snowflake stickers from a monthly club kit I subscribed to years ago. God Jul, Swedish for Merry Christmas, is a clear stamp from Slöjd-Detaljer.
I've used sketch #395 from Kortskissen for the layout. We (design team members) would love to see how you interpret the sketch! 😀
I also submit this card to:
Another card where I've used paper and image from the wonderful Stamperia. God Jul stamp is from YouDo. I submit this card to the following challenges:
Yesterday's second Christmas was made for sketch #379 at Kortskissen. It's interesting to see how all of us in the design team have interpreted the sketch in different ways. 😀 We'd love to see YOUR take on the sketch, too!
Besides Kortskissen, I also submit this card to the following challenges:
Ever had one of those moments when you want to make a card, but your brain doesn't function? This card is the result of such a moment. I just couldn't figure out what more to add, so a couple of designer papers and a stamp will have to do.
When I saw the Jingle Belles challenge to have at least one building on the card, I immediately knew I should use this house paper from Webster's Pages. The stamp is from a Hero Arts set. Unfortunately I don't remember where the background paper comes from.
I also submit this card to That's Crafty's Christmas in September challenge.
Every year I have the intention to make Christmas cards during the entire year, to have a stash large enough to both send and sell when it's time for those cards. Yeah, right. This year I have obviously made ONE Christmas card, and that was during the first week in January. So, I'd better get started now.
On this card, I've used part of a sheet music background stamp from Artemio in the upper right corner, snowflake stamps from Kortmakaren, and the greeting stamp is from Hero Arts. All stamped images are embossed – the sheet music with black embossing powder and the rest with gold. The background is dotted cardstock. I have them in several colors but never use them. I need to change that!
I'm participating in a total of five challenges with this card:
The current Simon Says Wednesday Challenge is an easy one – Anything goes!
At Jingle Belles, the challenge is to use music elements.
Merry Monday #212 challenge us to use black, white and gold only.
Challenge #39 at Christmas Card Challenges is to be inspired by music notes:
For the layout of my card, I used the sketch from Inkspire Me #265:
Now when snow and proper winter has finally come here in Sweden, what is more suitable than to make and send a card saying "White Winter Greetings"? I made it for three different challenges. And I hope it qualifies for the Christmas card challenges…
The current challenge at Jingle Belles has been to use leftovers on your card. I've had this piece with stamped Christmas greeting laying on my desk since forever. When looking through my Christmas paper stash, the piece of bird paper was the first I found, already in a perfect size. Then paired that with the red paper crap that I just needed to trim a little to make it fit.
Today's second Christmas card is a bit different. No nice Santa, no cute reindeer, no shiny tree… Just a bunch of skulls with candy canes. 😉 Searching through my Christmas stash, I found out that this paper was the only thing I had with candy canes. And of course I needed candy canes for the Candy Kisses challenge at Jingle Belles. This card is also for sketch #387 at Sketch Saturday.

Abby Lee Miller is in big trouble after she was accused of fraud and now she is expecting her sentencing trial in January. However, the Dance Moms cast member is not going to just go down without at least throwing some shade at the show that made her famous. The reality star decided to slam producers and dancers on the show for allegedly faking scenes.
On the latest Dance Moms episode, Daviana Fletcher ended up being cut out from Miller's competition team.
"Love this kid and love this mom. Just another example of producers destroying the show! I fought as hard as I could to keep her, how much fight does one person have in them?" complained Miller on social media.
Later on she even called out her own dancers, saying that they were not as good as former contestant Maddie Ziegler, who is best known as Sia's dancer.
"I spent the first 3 years of #Dancemoms fighting so that @maddieziegler would get the solos instead of the ones who couldn't pick up or couldn't remember. This young lady was/is definitely the right fit for the current team!"
This whole rant is a change from what she posted last week when she decided to praise the team and take her leave from the show graciously after being caught dwelling into illegalities.
"Years of my life, seven seasons on TV in 130 Countries – I did my best for Lifetime and gave my all to the production of Dance Moms. Thank you for the many wonderful opportunities and the valuable lessons I learned."
As we previously reported, Miller is risking up to 30 months in prison after she plead guilty to one count of not reporting an international monetary transaction and one count of concealing bankruptcy assets.
Her final sentencing will be decided on the trial set to take place on January 20, 2017.

The 4th of July seasonal trade is working out nicely. We didn't get much of a sell-off but the Low last week matched up perfectly with the dip in the Seasonal Indicator.
We'll probably get a little follow through tomorrow, Wednesday, on the Emini. And then Thursday morning we've got a bunch of economic numbers coming out. But the afternoon should be quiet leading into the holiday.
Good luck with your Emini trading tomorrow.

When my son was born, I found myself making a quick transition from coffee-as-pleasure into coffee-as-fuel.
I had, at one time, enjoyed the act of waking up, putting on a pot of water, prepping my french press, and at least quietly considering the day ahead. With baby, I no longer cared about the provenance of the beans, the style of roast, or the method of preparation; what mattered most was that it effectively powered me through the first crucial moments of the day.
Now that my son is four, and waking up is met with his solo run to the bathroom, I've found myself reconnecting with coffee in a new way. I'm about a year in to giving up drip coffee and enjoying espresso only. Of course, that means a daily run to the coffee shop, but that investment has been rewarded with a better understanding of coffee and my own personal taste preferences.
In the process, I've uncovered a fantastic style of preparation called a "Shakerato." It's pretty simple: espresso shaken over ice with sugar. It's froth, achieved wholly without milk, gives it the look of a properly foamed beverage, but it's ice cold, quaffable jolt of potent coffee is precisely what I enjoy drinking in the summer heat of Charleston.
Brooks Reitz is an entrepreneur and restaurateur based in Charleston, SC. He has been recognized nationally for his work in the restaurant world and for his company, Jack Rudy Cocktail Co., which produces small batch cocktail mixers for home and restaurant use. He writes about drinking "the good stuff," and is the father to a crime-fighting 4-year old boy.

The yard to your home looks amazing with greenery but you may need tree service Anaheim to keep up with the look and maintenance. Whenever you need a tree removal service, you should ensure the right approach with the right service so that you can get the most value for your hard-earned money. The above-referred Orange County Tree Services can really exceed your expectations based on my personal experience with them.
Over time and season, your park, lawn or landscape needs desperate attention on your part. With the passage of time, every homeowner has to restore or maintain the beauty of their property. Every homeowner wants to keep their property in a beautiful state but that is not possible without serving the plant by using professional Orange County Tree Services.
In all the four seasons of the year, you need to make changes to your garden, but in winter season you need to have your old tree and debris remove from the garden to keep up its beautiful look. Over time, trees leave behind a lot of debris and dead leaves that make the garden look absurd unless you contact some Orange County Tree Services and give them the removal task.
In fact, you need to get rid of debris no matter what kind of debris it is. All kinds of debris may make your garden look awkward. Before the summer season sets in, your garden needs to be properly and professionally cleaned. In fact, you need to remove three main tings and they are dead trees, tree debris, and dead leaves.
There are so many other problems that often take place with the change of the season. The situation is not the same in the winter season and when it is warmer weather. As your garden ages, outgrowth can be a problem to deal with.

Lil Wayne, the hottest of the Hot Boys, dressed up as fire worshiper/guitar rock god Jimi Hendrix for the latest issue of Vibe. Everyone's known for a while the Tunechi is a multitasking, multimillionaire superstar. In between guesting on everybody's hit single, he's done rock 'n' roll, he's unleashed a line of blunt wraps, and he's released his newest album, Tha Carter IV.
Weezy's face is a work of pop-culture art. Besides the tattoos and behind the dreads, there's a roadworn face that's full of joy, sorrow, and slickness. To borrow from Carter's lyrical canon, his face is beyond beauty. Now that he's tackled Jimi, we'd like to see him emulate some classic celebrity magazine covers.
Here are ten expert Photoshop jobs anticipating the many other costume choices he could try in the future.
10. Red Hot Chili Peppers
Just imagine how much more funky Blood Sugar Sex Magik would've been with Lil Wayne for-real rapping instead of Anthony Keidis trying to rapping.
9. Jim Carrey
As a current resident of South Florida, Weezy does the beach, we're sure. Even though he ain't puffing any more, he is much more smoking than Jim Carrey ever was, cuz.
8. Ray Charles
Ray Charles was the OG, Original Genius, and Lil Wayne is a true G.
Can't you just hear Wayne singing "Dirty Deeds"? We're pretty sure he wouldn't do them for dirt cheap, though. You gotta put some serious money down or it's gotta be pro bono. He is on probation, after all.
6. Janet Jackson
Lil Wayne is probably not down with dressing like a lady. It's a shame. Look at that body!
5. Michael Jackson
Both of these superstars broke free from the childhood group to find massive solo success. Young Michael Jackson was a little more wholesome than Lil Wayne. But older Jackson was a few trips to the hyperbaric chamber stranger than Mr. Carter will ever be. We think.
4. Little RIchard
Lil Wayne could tear it up behind a piano. We don't know if he knows how to play one, but we feel like he can bang out the jams.
3. Mötley Crüe
This one would be fitting. We'd like to see pre-sobriety Nikki Sixx versus pre-clean Lil Wayne in a chemical ingesting competition. Nah, we don't need to see that. We're happy to know that these two party animals are doing well.
2. Axl Rose
Weezy as Axl Rose would probably upset Axl. He'd call it an insult, sue Wayne for defamation of character. But we'd all know Axl secretly jocks Weezy's style.
