WINDSOR, England – Three-tenths of a second.
That's all that separated Ross and Grant James from bringing an Olympic bronze medal home to DeKalb.
The twins were part of the U.S. entry in the men's eight final – the fastest race in rowing. The 2012 Olympic edition was one of the most exciting of all time, with all six boats finishing within about a length of one another.
Overwhelming favorite Germany took the gold in 5:48.75. Canada slipped past Great Britain in the last few hundred meters to snatch silver with a time of 5:49.98, while the British in 5:51.18 barely held off the hard-charging Americans. The U.S. clocked in at 5:51.48.
The brothers couldn't hide their disappointment after the race.
"Our coach (Mike Teti) says there's two kind of athletes that come here – ones that get medals and ones that don't. And it's just a world of difference between them," said Ross, who along with his brother was part of the eight-man boat that won the 2008 national championship for Wisconsin.
"Everybody wants to do well," he said. "Everyone wants to be on the podium. But it was a hard-fought race and I'm very proud of every single one of those guys in that boat."
Grant echoed that sentiment.
"We're all proud of each other," said the 6-foot-5 DeKalb High School grad. "We fought hard. We were coming in fast and coming through the 500-meter (remaining) mark, we couldn't hear anything. We couldn't hear our coxen it was so loud. It's just the situation. It's a huge stage we're on so it was interesting. We all just fought until we couldn't fight anymore," he said, his voice trailing off in disappointment, before adding that "everybody wants to establish at the beginning – that was not our fastest start, but we held it in and I'm proud of our guys for sticking with it and fighting all the way to the end."
Teti, a coaching icon at the University of California, said he couldn't ask for anything more from his crew.
"That was probably the closest eights final, at least in my memory," he said. "I've never seen one that was six boats within a length of each other and I've been in a few of them. The field is tough and it's competitive."
He said it was a pleasure to coach the James brothers.
"They've done everything we've asked," he said. "And they're just good, respectful, wonderful kids. Hopefully, they'll continue. Now they get a taste of it – fourth at the Olympics. It makes it a little bit hungry and three-tenths away from a medal, I think that they'll be better in four years."
Grant said they plan to be back in 2016.
"The plan is to keep rowing," he said. "We still have young guys. We still have some time where we can develop and get better. I mean, we didn't want to waste this opportunity but I feel like we'll stick with it while we can."
For now, it's time to get over the loss and try to enjoy what remains of the games.
"We'll stay around, we'll cheer on our fellow athletes, try to get the Americans on the podium, whether we're in the race or not," he said, noting that they'll stay at the rowing venue outside London for the next couple of days and then move into the main Athletes Village in the city. "Then we'll enjoy the rest of our time here and watch some other events."

Pat Peck has a passion for children. She connects with kids in various walks of life.
"It's amazing. It's what I do it," said Peck, RN, CCRN, ICU nurse educator at Overland Park Regional Medical Center. "I love the kids."
While raising her family, Peck connected to other kids in places that made an impact. She stepped in one summer to substitute as a camp nurse to help the kids with special needs. It takes a critical care nurse like Peck to oversee the medical needs of campers with muscular dystrophy in an area camp. Peck and her now-grown children volunteered each summer at the one-week camp for children with muscular dystrophy for more than a decade. The campers inspire Peck and her family who come back to help each year.
"If you met these kids, you would do it," Peck said. "They are just amazing — what these kids deal with on a daily basis. Anyone else would give up. They smile. They never complain. They are absolutely wonderful."
Peck founded a weekend camp for the young adults who aged out of the camp. Each October she sponsors a Halloween-themed camp with fishing, hot dogs and s'mores. Children with muscular dystrophy typically do not live past their twenties, Peck said. The weekend retreat is their chance for a little independence away from home, she said.
"This year is the fourth year — the October bash," she said. "They just have a ball."
Peck serves the community in other ways. She helps to assess senior patients in rural Kansas and coaches volleyball for youth. Volleyball fees were a challenge for some of the families when her children were young. Peck founded a non-profit volleyball league and began to coach. Though her children are grown, Peck continues to coach the teams, waiving the coaching fee, to stay connected to youth.
"I love the kids," she said. "It keeps me from having empty nest syndrome."
Peck's efforts in community service earned her the Frist Humanitarian award from Overland Park Regional Medical Center of HCA Midwest Health System. Peck says she shies from the limelight, but was touched by the recognition.
"I was so honored. It's amazing," she said. "I am so thankful I was nominated for that.
I don't feel I deserve it."
Peck switched to nursing from accounting when her father had open heart surgery. She saw outstanding nurses who cared for him and some who did not have time.
"I saw the impact it had on my dad," she said. "I knew that is what I wanted to do. There is no profession that is more rewarding than nursing."
Peck is extremely dedicated and committed to the development and growth of new nurses, said Sue Marchetta RN, BSN, MA, director of critical care at Overland Park Regional Medical Center. She wants to give the best care possible, Marchetta said.
"Pat has boundless energy," Marchetta said. "She never stops. She would do anything for anyone."

What are the Top Rated Rower Machines for Obese People?
Back in the early days, I unfortunately learned the hard way -- that some fitness equipment really isn't meant for everyone -- and ended up making a bit of a fool of myself. So I wanted to create this account overview of the best rowing machines that are meant for the heavier population, being specifically manufactured for heavy duty exercise & being catered with extra large seating, added padding etc. (as well as of course excelling in offering you a decent rowing work out). You will hence, hopefully come across the ideal model for you to slim down and get fit with (and don't have to worry about it breaking) -- or at least get a better idea and understanding of what specific features you are after with a rowing machine for indoor use.
The RW1000 Rowing Machine By LifeSpan Fitness
Dimensions: 90 x 18.5 x 23 inches | Warranty Information: 5 Year frame warranty, 2 Year parts warranty & 1 Year labour warranty | Rating: 3.9 out of 5 (78%) |
This award winning rowing machine (achieving the Gear Awards Seal of Excellence) is built with a solid steel frame & offers a low-impact, smooth, full cardio body work out (meaning legs, arms, torso) through utilising an 'eddy quiet drive system' & 16.6 lb flywheel with brake resistance (offering 5 different levels of magnetic pull back).
User Weight Capacity Up to 300 lbs
Amazon Price: $699.99 $499.00 Buy Now
(price as of Feb 19, 2016)
Moreover, the rower is fitted with an LCD monitor detailing all the relevant diagnostics such as: time, distance, calories burned, strokes committed per 60 seconds etc. It also come with extra large & padded seats, ergonomic hand grip bar as well as a fitted foot rest with 'locked' in straps. In all, this rowing machine is bound to serve you well -- built to last and offer you an optimal rowing workout, that will prove key to weight loss.
The ProRower RX-750 Home Series Rowing Machie By H20 Fitness
Dimensions: 78 x 20 x 22 inches | Warranty Information: Lifetime frame warranty, three years on the tank, two years on components | Rating: 4.3 out of 5 stars (86%)|
This commercial standard rowing machine (built specifically for home use) is unique as it uses a polcarbonate water tank (as you can see below) and a hydro-power drive system to actually mimic the very effects of 'real-life' rowing (so to alter the "natural adaptive" resistance, it is just dependent on how fast you are rowing -- i) you want a high resistance, row fast -- ii) a smooth resitance, row slower. Pretty clever & looks cool too.
User Weight Capacity Up to 350 lbs
Amazon Price: $899.00 $749.00 Buy Now
(price as of Feb 19, 2016)
It is installed with an 'oversized' display system that provides you with all your relevant rowing information (speed, distance, calories burned etc. -- it also tracks your heart rate) & work outs. The frame is also foldable & actually comes to less than 20 x 21 inches if you are to store it upright, in a cupboard perhaps (so space conscious too). As you can see, this model is a rather innovative machine and is very well regarded by users -- certainly worth a look at, if you are serious about getting fit &/or training.
The Model D Indoor Rowing Machine (w. PM3) By Concept2
Dimensions: 25 x 33 x 54 inches | Warranty Information: 5 Years on the frame | Rating: 4.9 out of 5 stars (98%)|
For me, this machine is the 'ultimate' -- what I regard as being hands down 'the' best rowing machine for heavy people and is the very machine (black) what I used relentlessly for days on end to shed the pounds -- and wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone who is looking to lose some serious weight & just generally feel a whole lot better about themselves. It really, doesn't get better than this -- as I'm sure if it is good enough for Olympians, it is good enough for the rest of us (just check its rating, no other rowing machine is loved as much as this).
User Weight Capacity Up to 500 lbs
Amazon Price: $850.00 Buy Now
(price as of Feb 19, 2016)
As I am sure you are aware, Concept2 is like the Rolls Royce, the Rolex of the rowing machine world -- they are known for their quality & durability -- and the model D is their best selling model. It offers you an optimal cardio work out and a great base to get toned. It offers a range of quality features such as the advanced performance monitor (PM3) providing you with accurate data, flywheel damper to mimic actual rowing effects and keeping the entire operation practically silent, a low profile (making it easy to get on and off), adjustable aspects -- foot rests, seat (suitable for short & tall people). It really, doesn't get much better than this. If you are really unsure as to what rowing machine to get, I pretty much guarantee that you will have no regrets with this.
But which rower will you buy and why?
Furthermore, if you any issues, questions or remarks/ general experiences regarding either the showcase of the best rowing machines for heavy people or about any of the models that have been showcased above (particularly regarding the model D, as I own one) then please be sure to leave them in the comments section that you will find just below and we will be sure to get back to you as soon as possible.

Your House Could be the Reason for High Utility Bills
Uncover areas of your home driving up utility bills.
You can't figure it out. You've checked off everything on the list:
- ✔ Energy efficient windows
- ✔ Recently updated HVAC systems
- ✔ Energy Star appliances
So, why do your utility bills still seem awfully high? Why is your spouse shivering in the next room while you're sweating? It could be because your home isn't performing well enough to take advantage of all those energy saving steps you've taken.
Your next question is, "What in the world is home performance?" The General specializes in Home Performance Contracting (HPC). It's using cutting-edge technology in the quest to reduce energy consumption and make a smaller carbon footprint.
The problem isn't with what you HAVE done. It's more likely what you HAVEN'T done yet! Think of it like plugging a leak, only to have another leak appear in a new spot. Instead of doing things piecemeal, you need to take a whole-house approach. Most homes lose up to 50% of their conditioned air for the following reasons:
- Poor insulation
- Attic leaks
- Leaks around doors and windows (not necessarily the doors & windows themselves)
When you add up all the cracks and crevices, you often end up with a hole larger than a basketball hoop.
Technology has made today's cooling and heating systems much more efficient, but the technology isn't worth the proverbial plug nickel if the conditioned air is escaping from your home.
Green Homes America
To help homeowners in the Coachella Valley the General is proud to be a Green Homes America (GHA) contractor. In order to qualify we have to go through a stringent screening process by GHA. It's your guarantee the General can properly assist you in improving the energy efficiency, comfort, and health and safety of your home.
The GHA and its contractors are the most trusted source of unbiased energy efficiency information for homeowners determined to improve or upgrade their homes. It doesn't matter if it's a window upgrade, replacing an air conditioner, or adding insulation, homeowners have learned to trust Green Homes America contractors to improve comfort and reduce carbon footprints.
Thanks to Green Homes America and contractors like the General, tens of thousands of homes across America now save their owners thousands of dollars in utility costs each year.
Warning Signs to Look For
Have you learned how to "listen" to your house? Your home can give you warning signs it could use a home performance upgrade:
- Outside noise is audible inside
- Some rooms are too hot or too cold
- AC unit or furnace is noisy
- Lingering odors or musty smell
- Drafts
- Condensation on windows
- Humidity
- Mold or mildew
If you have some or all of these problems, it could indicate your house
isn't being a good teammate in the sport of HPC.
Finding and Fixing Home Performance Problems
The first step in upgrading your home's performance is an energy audit. The General's energy efficiency specialists, Gold Star Certified by BPI, will use their training and advanced technology instruments to find and identify any problems.
The audit includes a number of high tech tests, including:
This is a really cool test, but you might be shocked at what you find out. Infrared imaging dramatically shows where the conditioned air is getting out. It identifies leaks around doors and windows and any area where insulation is lacking.
Ductwork is often the cause of cooling and heating problems. Our tests will locate any leaks or blockages that are limiting airflow to the rooms. OurThe technicians will also check for proper duct insulation in attics and crawl spaces. Some estimates showare duct problems can reduce efficiency as much as 30%.
The General will go so far as to try and blow your doors off (at least sort of). It's called blower door testing. A fan sucks air out of your house, reducing the air pressure inside. Our technicians then look for any sign of outside air getting in. It's the best way to assure your home is air tight.
The tests won't do much good if we don't tell you how to fix the problems. Our specialists will pinpoint specific ways to make your house more energy- efficient. It could be as easy as adding more insulation to your attic or putting new caulk around your doors and windows.
Rest assured, when your energy audit is complete, there is no problem General Air Conditioning & Plumbing can't solve. We're called "The Best Little Air Conditioning and Plumbing Company in the Desert" for good reason.

This is one of the few products that I can use on my eyes because I have excema. It is very light and feels great on my face as well. The soft fragrance is wonderful. I only wish it was not in a pump form. I cannot get all the moisturizer out. Even so, I will contnue to buy it because Iove it! (Posted on 1/2/2013)
Excellent products Review by Jori, email@example.com
Price Quality Value
Unable to find anything comparable in Canada, I first ordered Lindi for my teenage daughter after she started chemo. Healthy skin is vital for successful treatment and my daughter's skin quickly regained its glow. However the stress took its toll on me. My daughter gave me her products when she finished with them and my skin responded beautifully. The cost almost doubles with border fees and taxes but is still on par with local spa products, so it's my spa treatment. However there are no spa products here that do what Lindi does, so it is worth every penny for people going through medical treatments. I will be forever grateful for all the Lindi products and their major contribution to my daughter's health and well-being. (Posted on 12/29/2012)

Non-greasy for my sensitive skin Review by Krista

I have always had sensitive skin that breaks out easily. When I started chemo about 6 weeks ago, I suffered from severe dry skin and folliculitis. This moisturizer has helped get rid of my dry skin and clear up my folliculitis without leaving me with greasy skin and more breakouts. The scent is refreshing to boot. (Posted on 7/25/2012)

Skin felt smooth and soft Review by Mom

Bought 5 items for daughter, Katie, who had side effects from chemo and the smoothness and softness of her skin was noticeable almost immediately. Lip balm was immediate. All made her feel better and less itchy. Have already recommended to others. Heard about Lindi from Ann's Place, Home of I Can in Danbury, CT. Great products! (Posted on 2/22/2012)
Incredible relief Review by Shelly, Cape Coral, FL
Price Quality Value
I have only been using the Lindi Skin Products for about three weeeks and I have to tell you how much the products have helped to clear up the psoriasis on my face. I use the eye hydrator, Face Serum and the Moisturizer. I don't know which one is helping me the most. All I can tell you is that my skin is clear. I have used countless medications on my skin over the years to combat the psoriasis and they will work for a while but the side effects can be worse than the psoriasis. I have tried many brands of moisturizers with not much success. Lindi Skin is actually working. I know Lindi Skin was created for the effects that Chemo therapy and radiation have on a cancer patient's skin, but I think that Lindi skin needs to broaden its arena of possibilities.

Very healing Review by Karen

I bought this product for my sister when she was at CTCA for ovarian cancer. Little did I know, I didn't have much time left with her, so I used the rest of the product. It kept her close to me because I had very lovingly given her facials, and it was a way for me to take care of myself in my time of grieving. Since then I have kept using these products, and recommend them to others. (Posted on 2/13/2012)
So natural and effective Review by MJK

My skin is very sensitive to any perfumes or harsh chemicals-I am allergic to perfume even when others wear it. So it has been a Godsend to find Lindi face products-if they are safe and effective for vulnerable radiated skin they must be perfect for mine-and it is true. thank you for making Lindi Skin for all of us.

Q: What's the difference between the Face Serum and the Face Moisturizer?
A: In just a few words... the Serum is designed to "Renew and Soothe", while the Moisturizer is more to "Protect and Moisturize". The very light Serum has ingredients to soothe redness, irritation & itching, while delivering powerful anti-oxidants. It absorbs very quickly. The Moisturizer is designed to stay in place & provide hydration and protection for hours. The Serum and Moisturizer work exceptionally well when used together. First you apply the Serum to soothe and renew the skin, the you apply the Moisturizer to lock in the effects.

2001 Corsa Lite Brake Booster
It seems as if all the Lite range Corsas had a problem with the brake booster rusting due to a design fault by Delta/GM. Gm have subsequently decided (+- 18 months ago) to discontinue the supply of the brake boosters. The result is now that you cannot obtain this part anywhere, and everyone including the GM agents are telling you to go to the scrapyards to source a second hand part. Yet, everyone is aware of the fact that these units all rusted away.
GM washes their hands like Pontius Pilate of the whole matter, as according to the Parts manager at Williams Hunt in William Moffat in Port Elizabeth, the Corsa lite is more than 10 years old and they are no longer obliged to supply parts for these models. One is now sitting with a car that is otherwise in perfect running condition but you can't drive it because you can't get spares. Can anyone help please and or suggest an alternative. Thanks. Johan

I'd call some of the after market performance dealers, I am sure someone has figured it out by now.

Another busy day at the show. The crowd was definitely bigger than Thursday.
Atomic Amps' newest product is the Amplifire 6. It is replacing the Amplifire 3 and will also sell for $599. In addition to the three extra foot switches, it has dedicated expression pedal inputs (the Amplifire 3 required you to use an adaptor cable with the FX loop to use expression pedals) as well as internal hardware upgrades.
Death By Audio
DiCroLam's products have found their way into PRS fretboards among other places. Their new product offers a figuring not unlike quilted or flame maple.
Electro Harmonix
While Carvin has ceased operations, Kiesel had a significant presence at the show.
I just posted my interview with Line 6 CEO Marcus Ryle. Their major new product was the Helix FX, a multiFX device that utilizes FX modeling algorithms and user interface concepts used in the other Helix products. They also released an updated version of Helix firmware that added new amp models as well as the M-series FX algorithms.
Lipe Guitars is the brainchild of former Ibanez Master Luthier Mike Lipe. He offers an array of true custom shop guitars with a dizzying array of options. The materials and craftsmanship are wonderful and the prices are surprising given the features and bespoke nature of the instruments.
Mad Professor had two new pedals at the show: The Kosmos reverb with a freeze feature and the Little Tweedy Drive which replicates the response of a Tweed Deluxe.
Mike Pinter (Pinter Instruments) introduced his new line of guitars featuring solid design/ergodynamics and a fascinating 12-string model.
Swiss manufacturer Relish seems to be trying to reinvent the guitar with a metal frame, hollow body, innovated pickup switching/ blending (using a touchpad), formed wood necks (a single piece bent at the nut instead of using a joint), and bamboo fretboards. Despite all those innovations, the price is surprisingly only about $2K.
Source Audio's newest creation is the Ventris dual reverb. Designed with extensive input from TGP's membership, it sports dual DSPs with full spillover and the ability to run two reverb algorithms simultaneously. Their external reverb model is positively dripping.

Even if you don't know the name John Van Hamersveld, you know his work. Magical Mystery Tour, Exile On Main Street, Skeletons From the Closet, Hotter Than Hell, Eat To the Beat: Van Hamersveld supplied the cover artwork for all of these legendary albums, and that's just the tip of the iceberg. If you're more of a movie person, how about the Endless Summer poster? They practically hand that out to college freshmen with the orientation packet. John Van Hamersveld isn't responsible for a multitude of classic images; his work practically defined an entire cultural epoch. Needless to say, his work exerted an influence still being felt today.
Vault by Vans has partnered with the celebrated graphic artist and illustrator on a capsule collection of footwear and apparel that showcases a selection of his most notable and recognizable designs.
Vans' legacy of wild patterns and custom prints provide the ideal backdrop for Van Hamersveld's psychedelic style, as the OG Sk8-Hi LX and Classic Slip On blend familiar Vans elements with illustrations and graphics, while accompanying black graphic t-shirts feature full Van Hamersveld designs.

Renowned glassblowing artists will try to make 24-foot-high bong in Seattle
Christine Clarridge
April 12, 2018 at 5:12 pm
Dude, check it out.
Jason Harris and a group of other renowned glassblowing artists will be meeting in Seattle over the 4/20 weekend to create the worlds largest bong.
The final piece, which will be created in parts and then assembled at the Cannabition museum in the downtown Las Vegas Arts District, will tower 24-feet high and weigh 800 pounds when completed.
The bong will feature hookah-like attachments and actually be smoke-able, according to Chris Davison, co-owner of Jerome Baker Designs. I think everybody on the top floor (of the cannabis museum) could end up high, Davis said, jokingly.
Its going to be so much fun doing this in Seattle where (marijuana) is legal and everybody has a smile on their face about it, said Harris, of Jerome Baker Designs.
The blow will happen at a rented studio in South Lake Union April 19 to 22, but the owner said on Thursday it will not be open to the public.
While in his 20s, Harris, now 47, learned the art of glass blowing and began to explore making art pieces that served practical, useful purposes. He opened a business in Oregon creating art waterpipes and bongs.
In 2003, he was arrested by federal law-enforcement officers along with 54 other people, including Tommy Chong of Cheech and Chong in a sting operation called Operation Pipe Dreams for making and distributing paraphernalia.
Chong, sometimes known as the King of Stoners, was sentenced to nine months in federal prison.
Though Harris did not serve time, his assets were seized.
But he did not give up on the idea of making the bong into a piece of fine art, and he eventually set up a studio in Maui, Hawaii.
Since then, he has continued to use his artistic passion to create one-of-a-kind glass bongs and pipes and other glass pieces.
People have been really reacting to the art, he said, and I am using it as a tool to make noise and build momentum around change.
Harris said the energy created when a group of artists work together blowing glass creates an intense dance of blood, sweat, tears and laughter.

It's release day!
Woo Hoo!! That Voodoo You Do is now officially out! I honestly get so excited for every release, to the point of driving my family nuts. I can't imagine ever getting to the point where release day is no big deal, even if I have a hundred books under my belt. Because, ultimately, each book is special in its own way. I wrote Voodoo during a time that was both challenging and frustrating for me. Honestly, there were many, many moments during the process that I worried this book would never see the light of day. But I plowed on, determined that I'd find a way to block out the personal dramas that were sitting on my creativity like a 6 ton elephant. And you know what? I'm glad I kept the faith. Because I love this book. And in the end, that's what makes all those long hours spent plugging away at the computer totally worth it.
In celebration of Voodoo's release, I'm going to be out and about this week, chatting and giving some behind the scenes making of the book. To sweeten the deal, I just might be giving away a little somethin' somethin' along the way too. So today, look for me at Among The Muses. I'll also be in the Samhain Cafe off an on all day. Tomorrow you can find me at Drea Becraft's blog. And Thursday I'm over at Embrace The Shadows. If you have a moment, pop on over and say howdy!

I can't believe we just celebrated Thanksgiving and the countdown to Christmas has officially begun. To get into the holiday spirit, today I will be sharing a fun DIY project that can easily be put together one afternoon.
Usually when I think of wreaths I think of the ones that are already decorated. But Walmart gave me a challenge to try my hand at making a Holiday Wreath using their Christmas Catalog for wreath ideas (click on "see more ads" to find the Christmas Catalog & wreath ideas on pg. 5). So with a specific theme in mind, I headed to my local Walmart to see what supplies I could find to make-my-own Holiday Wreath.
- 24 inch wreath- $4.00
- Glitter Pre-made Bow- $5.98
- Garland Wire- $2.50
- Silver Long Picks- $3.48
- Ribbon-$4.98
- Mini Ornaments- $3.50
- Dangling Glitter Lettering "Joy"- $2.00
Supplies Needed
(found at Walmart)
- 1. Gather supplies. I chose a silver, glitter theme for our wreath to match our tree & other holiday decor items.
- 2. Fluff the bare wreath to the fullness you would like.
- 3. Starting at the bottom of the wreath wrap your chosen ribbon around the wreath. To secure the ribbon to the wreath I simply tied the two ends together at my starting & finishing point.
- 4. To hide where we just made a knot with the ribbon, I wire tied a pre-made glitter bow from Walmart onto the bottom of the wreath. If you know how to make your own bow then that is great but since I'm "bow challenged" I decided just to use a pre-made one instead. Maybe one day I'll take a course in "bow-making".
- 5. Secure the glitter dangling letter phrase "JOY" to the top of the wreath. This step is optional but I thought the letters added an interesting touch to our finished wreath.
- 6. Fill in the wreath using the mini silver ornaments securing them to various branches using garland wire. To make both sides of my wreath even, I would alternate sides starting at the bottom and working my way up when placing ornaments so one side of the wreath doesn't end up with more ornaments than the other.
- 7. The last step before completing our wreath is to add a bit of whimsy using long silver picks which I found next to the bare wreaths at Walmart. The picks I chose look like curls which I used to fill in any bare spaces on the wreath. To secure them to the wreath one can use garland wire.
- Hang your completed wreath and enjoy
There is just something so satisfying about completing a DIY project and being able to tell others that you made it yourself. :) I personally think our holiday wreath turned out great especially for our first time.
Walmart doesn't just have supplies to make your own holiday wreath, they also have other holiday decor like glass ornaments and a new product called Scentsicles. We've had an artificial tree for years. I love the convenience of an artificial tree but I don't like that it doesn't have that "fresh pine" scent. Every year I'm obsessed with buying pine scented products so that my house will "smell like the holidays". Scentsicles are pine scented green icicle-like things that you hang on an artificial tree to give it and your house a fresh pine scent. I love the idea of Scentsicles.
Another product I had the opportunity to try from Walmart were their glass ornaments. Since our Christmas tree theme is "ice blue" and has been for years I was immediately drawn to the sparkling white and blue glass ornaments but they also have all kinds of other glass ornaments to match any tree theme you might have. Adding new ornaments to our old tree seemed to give it some new life.
Have you begun decorating for the holidays?
Disclosure: I am a Walmart Mom. I have been compensated for my time and efforts in creating this post as well as given a giftcard to purchase the supplies needed to create our own wreath and add some new ornaments to our existing tree. As always my participation is voluntary and opinions are my own. My experience may differ from your own.

Submitted by Serna Family
On Sunday, May 6, the Serna Family will be holding a lighthearted garden ceremony to celebrate the life of Karina Serna, our beloved mother, wife, and friend of the community, who passed after a battle with breast cancer on Dec. 23, 2017. As you may know, our mother was a passionate gardener with quite the green thumb. In order to honor this, please join us in planting perennial flowers in our home garden in memory of Karina to be cherished for years to come. We would like to open this gathering to anyone who felt Karina had an impact on their lives or held a place in their heart at any time. Bring a flower of your choosing to plant, the necessary tools to plant it (gloves, garden trowel), as well as any memories or copies of photos you wish to share with our family. We ask that you stop by between 1 and 4 p.m. on Sunday, May 6 following which will then be a private family only ceremony to spread Karina's ashes in the beautiful garden you will help us to bring to life. A colorful, lively garden to commemorate the equally beautiful soul of Karina would not be possible without the help of our amazing community.
To those who volunteered to prepare the garden for the ceremony, we would like to extend our deepest gratitude; your continued support is incredibly valuable through this process. We would also like to give a special thanks to Peter Schmidt, his family and the crew for donating their time and energy to help replace our deck – a much needed repair on our home and an immense burden lifted from our shoulders during this difficult time of adjustment. The way in which our community comes together to help those in need is a remarkably unparalleled quality. While we mourn the loss of the anchor of our family, we are continuously reminded why she chose to move us to this beautiful community over 20 years ago.

There's one easy and obvious category of time bombs while working in a security company, and that is vulnerabilities. These typically have a few different parts in their life. There's the time when no one knows of them (that we know of). Then there's the time when we know of them but other don't (that we know of). Then there's the time when someone other than us knows of them and we know they know. When that time arrives, it really no longer matters much if we knew before or not, but fixing commences, stopping everything else. And there's times when we know, and let others know as there is an external mitigation / monitoring that people could do to keep themselves safe. We work hard to fix things we know of, before others know of them because working without an external schedule pressure is just so much nicer. And it is really the right thing to do. The right thing isn't always easy and I love the intensity of analysis and discussions vulnerability related information causes here. It reminds me of the other places where the vulnerabilities were time bombs we just closed eyes on, and even publishing them wouldn't make assessing them a priority without a customer escalation.
Security issues, however, are not the only time bombs we have. Other relevant bugs are the same too. And with other relevant bugs, the question of timing sometimes becomes harder. For things that are just as easy to fix while in production and while developing an increment, timing can become irrelevant. This is what a lot of the continuous deployment approaches rely on - fast fixing. Some of these bugs though, when found have already caused a significant damage. Half of a database is corrupted. Communication between client and server has become irrecoverable. Computer fails to start unless you know how to go in through bios and hack registries so that starting up is again possible. So bugs with impacts other than inconvenience are ones that can bring a business down or slow it to a halt.
There's also the time bombs of bugs that are just hard to fix. At some point, someone gets annoyed enough with a slow website, and you've known for years it's a major architectural change to fix that one.
A thing that seems common with time bombs is that they are missing good conversations. The good conversations tends to lead to the right direction on deciding which ones we really need to invest on, right now. And for those not now, what is the time for them?
And all of this after we've done all we can to avoid having any in the first place.

Bikers raise funds and awarness for six more families to become homeowners!
Posted: 2013-06-07 14:23:47
{To See the full Habiat 500 Newsletter click here!}
Dear Friend of Habitat,
Spring took its sweet time getting here this year! This fact was very evident for our Habitat 500 bike riders starting the training necessary for the 500 miles that will be ridden in seven days to raise funds and awareness for six Habitat projects in the Northland. As we have ventured out on two and four wheels, abundant pot holes and rough pavement have created many obstacles that threaten to bust tires and wear out shocks!
Cyclists are keenly aware of rough roads. Even while driving we are observing the way ahead and thinking, "this road would be very difficult, even painful to ride a bike on!" For cyclists, rough roads cause flats, jar joints and disrupt the "comfortable feeling" of a small bike seat!
Our partner families have faced many difficulties on their journey to finding adequate shelter. "Pot holes" such as mold, unsafe living conditions, life events and substandard, overpriced apartments make the way ahead seem hopeless and harsh. Our Habitat homeownership application includes the question, "Why do you need a Habitat home?" Some of the answers to this question break my heart:
· "We stay in a very unhealthy environment that is too small for all five of us."
· "I have a five year old who has many disabilities. He cannot walk yet because I do not have the necessary room for his equipment and the carpet in our apartment is not suitable for a walker."
· "I would like to be able to buy a home so that my children can feel secure and be raised in the same place rather than moving all the time to try to find a better neighborhood and house."
· My daughter and I currently live in a one bedroom apartment. I have converted the living room into my bedroom and my daughter has the bedroom."
· "My son has to crawl up the stairs to use the bathroom since our home does not have a handicapped accessible facility on the first floor."
· "I live in a very small home where my son and daughter have to share one bedroom."
As I ride 500 miles my mind often turns to these statements for motivation. Families have experienced many deep pot holes in their attempts to find a decent place to live. As a Habitat 500 cyclist, the rough roads we face are temporary and serve as great reminders that we are riding to eliminate real obstacles that families face in meeting their basic need of a home.
We would like to invite you to help us clear the path for six families to get out of substandard housing situations this year. You can help them with the stability, safety and sustainability that a Habitat home can provide. Your donation will help pave the way to a better life! Please check out the stories of our six families and the riders who are raising funds and awareness for them. Your generosity will make a big difference in these families lives this year.
Nathan Thompson, Executive Director

The incidence of Erythrasma is higher in warm climates. It is most prevalent among individuals who are overweight or have diabetes.
The symptoms of Erythrasma are mildly itchy, slightly scaly, reddish-brown lesions most often found in the axilla, groin, between the toes, and in skin folds.
Wood's lamp test (when examined under this ultraviolet light, the lesions glow a coral-red color)

Canada's provinces are no fools and know exactly what they are doing at the negotiating table, Quebec's lead negotiator in the free trade talks with the European Union shot back Wednesday.
Pierre Marc Johnson made the comments after an extremely critical legal opinion suggested the provinces are ill-equipped to handle the important file and are selling out residents.
CETA, the Comprehensive and Economic Trade Agreement with the EU, is an over-arching trade deal that will apply to sub-national governments for the first time. That means international firms will be allowed to bid on municipal contracts, something that has many local governments worried they won't be able to enact 'buy local' policies.
Lawyer Steven Shrybman studied leaked text of what Canada and the EU placed on the table and found that while the Europeans asked for blanket exceptions to protect public utilities, Canadian provinces did not do the same in areas over which they have jurisdiction.
Shrybman told The Huffington Post Canada the provinces hadn't done their homework and looked as if they didn't fully understand the scope of the agreement.
Contrary to what others are saying, Quebec and the other provinces "know exactly what they are doing" during these Canada-European free trade negotiations, negotiator Johnson said to Quebec's Le Devoir.
Quebec is not being had by more skillful negotiators and is not about to forfeit its ability to maintain control over public services, he said.
"This analysis is based on incomplete texts that were leaked a long time ago. These are texts to which a number of changes have been brought," Johnson told Le Devoir. "Without letting you know what is in the agreement, do you think, for example, that as Quebec is rapidly developing its energy sector that cabinet would let me negotiate an agreement that would prevent it from intervening?"
Johnson told the newspaper that Quebec intends to seek exemptions from CETA for several sectors, including health, education and social services, and for state-owned enterprises such as Hydro-Quebec and the Société des alcools du Québec, the province's liquor board. Certain concessions will be necessary, he cautioned, if Quebec wants access to "the richest unique market in the world."
"This image of poor little incompetent provinces who are about to sell out our competences is very, very far from reality," Johnson said. "The provinces know exactly what they are doing, they have a higher level of expertise than the federal government in their areas of jurisdiction."
Shrybman studied two leaked texted circulated in the early part of 2012.
Part of the problem says CUPE, the Canadian Union of Public Employee which asked Shrybman to prepare the legal brief, is that Canadians are being kept in the dark about the negotiations. While some industry and advocacy groups are being briefed, few details about what the federal and provincial governments are prepared to trade away have been released to those affected by the decisions.
Many municipal councillors told HuffPost they were frustrated by being shut out of the process and felt their interests were not being defended adequately.
"The problem is that none of us know exactly what is being discussed. The province and even the Minister Ed Fast have been very kind to come forward and talk about generalities ... but none of them have talked about the details," said Burnaby, B.C., councillor Sav Dhaliwal.
"I would like to see the draft agreement that is being proposed so that municipalities and local government's across Canada could take a look at it and give their endorsement or proposed changes to it. I believe the opportunity isn't going to be there. In my view that is essential for us before we can really say yes," he added.

Cheap Car Hire in Istanbul
It's a simple process. Just choose your preferred pickup location in Istanbul, select the appropriate dates and times for pickup and drop off, your preferred car type and input the age of the main driver then hit the button to receive a quote, compare prices and book your car hire online.
Though Istanbul has a fairly decent public transport infrastructure and offers regular buses from the city out along its coastal roads, the best way to really explore all that the city and region have to see is with a car rental.
Istanbul Ataturk Airport, around a four-hour flight from most UK airports, is situated about 25kms from the city centre and operates as the main pickup point for most car hire providers. To ensure cheap car hire in Istanbul it is best to book ahead and guarantee your vehicle, thereby ensuring that the hire car of your choice is waiting for you on arrival. This avoids the hassle of having to search around for a good deal at the airport.
Once you have collected your hire car in Istanbul you can head off along the banks of the Bhosphorus or take in the beaches and waves along the Black Sea coast. With car hire in Istanbul you can also conveniently reach the city's symbol of love, the Tower of Leandros, or drive out to see the Symplegad rocks, which terrified sailors in centuries gone by.
Temperatures in Istanbul peak in July and August but remain pleasingly warm throughout most of spring and autumn, providing perfect conditions to venture out and see all that this historic region has to offer, all in the shadow of the stunning Anatolian Olympos Mountains.

Not the kind of question that pops up every day. But just part of the natural flow when the speaker is Dick Cavett.
At a time when brand shills on social media are deemed "influencers," talking with the man who's been called "the last intellectual talk show host" is like encountering a truffle in a platter of chicken nuggets.
Now 82, Dick Cavett — whose droll wit, quiet, reassuring manner and boyish grin won the trust even of interview phobics like Marlon Brando and Katherine Hepburn — still deflects compliments with a chuckle and a self-deprecating comment. But after more than 50 years in show biz, the Nebraska native doesn't pretend to be jaded about them.
People "need never apologize" for declaring themselves his fans, he joked in a recent phone interview occasioned by "Dick Cavett Presents," a series of interviews at The Ridgefield Playhouse set to kick off with actress Blythe Danner on March 23.
He and Danner "go way back — it almost seems like to our childhoods — to summers at the Williamstown [Theater Festival]," Cavett says. "Blythe is a hell of an actress," he adds, mentioning her "thrilling," Tony-nominated 1988 performance in "A Streetcar Named Desire." She's also, he confirms, an engaging conversationalist.
Unsurprisingly, that word comes up a lot in articles about Cavett, who attributes his talk-show success in part to taking the advice of Jack Parr, the "Tonight Show" host who was Cavett's first show-business boss: Don't do interviews; have conversations. That style, as opposed to the common gag- or plug-driven approach, requires screening out guests who, however talented or brilliant, "can't talk," Cavett observes. "Otherwise, you're sitting on air feeling like the hands of the clock have been welded together," struggling to fill the remaining time.
That rarely seemed an issue for Cavett, who drew devoted viewers and critical praise, if not always the highest ratings, starting with his first evening talk show on ABC in 1968. Amid a television environment famously declared a "vast wasteland" by FCC Commissioner Newton Minnow, "The Dick Cavett Show" was a proverbial oasis of intelligent, sometimes controversial (the Vietnam War, Watergate, racism) discussion.
That remained true through all of his talk shows, which aired on a half-dozen networks over three decades. But as new generations are discovering, thanks to the original shows' revival on the Decades network and YouTube, the eclectic roster of guests and offbeat pairings (think Muhammed Ali and author/intellectual provocateur Gore Vidal) were a key part of the draw.
Guests included playwright Arthur Miller, chess master Bobby Fischer, Swedish director Ingmar Bergman, jazz great Miles Davis, film auteur/raconteur Orson Welles ("the dream talk-show guest," says Cavett) and a slew of renowned authors: Kurt Vonnegut, Eudora Welty, James Baldwin, John Updike, Truman Capote and Norman Mailer among them.
The arrogant Mailer managed to elicit a rare flash of anger from the remarkably polite and patient host, who suggested that the author "fold it five ways and put it where the moon don't shine." That's "always misquoted — people think I said 'stick it,' but that would be crude," observes Cavett. "I don't know where [that riposte] came from…some Nebraska tribal memory?"
In the YouTube age, Cavett may be better known for his interviews with iconic rock stars, including Jimi Hendrix, John Lennon (and Yoko Ono), George Harrison and Jim Morrison. But the videos are also introducing young people to film legends like Bette Davis and Hepburn. Hepburn "was very nervous at first, but after we talked for a while, I almost couldn't get rid of her," Cavett laughs. "We did two 90-minute interviews, with 25 minutes of tape left over."
Weirdest guest? The surrealist artist Salvadore Dalí, who during a show threw a live anteater into the lap of silent film legend Lillian Gish. (Gish, who had done her own stunt work in life-threatening scenes for director D.W. Griffith, again proved unflappable, petting the animal and scolding Dalí: "This little thing is frightened.")Asked about other guests who proved surprising, Cavett cites actor Robert Mitchum — an "amazing" person who discomfited some viewers and "mesmerized" others. "You couldn't name anything he hadn't read," says Cavett, who also managed to get the seemingly laconic Mitchum to admit that he wrote poetry and composed music, including an oratorio.Then there's Cavett's idol, Groucho Marx. Long after the two became friends, Cavett began an introduction of the comic genius by saying, "I can't believe I know Groucho Marx." He also says that to his mind, a show during which Groucho faux-proposed marriage to Capote ranks among the funniest."
Does he think that today's attention span-challenged audience would embrace a long-format interview show?
"It's hard to say," he muses. "People old enough to be seeing the shows for the second time (in reruns) say it reminds them that nobody's doing what I was doing back then, though I'm not sure what they mean by that. … And young folks who've probably never heard of World War II, never mind the Marx Brothers, say 'You're the one my parents told me it was too bad I missed.' I will say that it's a mixed blessing seeing yourself (on video) decades earlier."
While another TV revival may not be in the cards, discussions about launching a podcast are underway, he reports. "I've thought about what rich opportunities there are. ... And I love radio."
Yes, Cavett has done radio ... and written several books, and blogged for The New York Times. And while the Yale School of Drama alum's acting career never took off, he's managed to appear in more than 40 movies (including "Annie Hall" and "Forrest Gump") and TV shows over the years through cameos and the occasional character role.
Connecticut fans can also now claim him as a Nutmegger.Having resided in one of Long Island's most prestigious homes — Montauk's Tick Hall, designed by Stanford White — Cavett and his wife, noted business consultant and bestselling author Martha Rogers, chose 18 months ago to adopt another property on the National Register of Historic Places: Ridgefield's Sunset Hall.Built in 1912, the Gatsbyesque Georgian mansion is situated on one of Fairfield County's highest points, with views of the Catskill Mountains and the Manhattan skyline. It boasts 22 rooms, a ballroom…and the previously alluded-to 65-foot pool where Houdini practiced his famed underwater escapes while visiting his brother, who owned Sunset Hall for a time. Cavett says this quirky history was more a "bonus" than a deciding factor in buying the estate, but he's clearly tickled by it. "How many people are lucky enough to say that Houdini was in their house?" he enthuses. The connection isn't hard to, um, fathom: While in high school, Cavett became an accomplished magician. (In an uncanny coincidence, he also first met Johnny Carson — for whom he later wrote jokes — while Carson was performing magic at a church in Nebraska.) Ridgefield's closer proximity to Manhattan was among the practicalities that persuaded Cavett and Rogers to give up Tick Hall — which had been a retreat for more than 40 years for Cavett and first wife actress Carrie Nye, who died in 2006.In another (literal) alignment of the stars, Sunset Hall had also been home to actor Robert Vaughn and his wife. "We were quite good friends," Cavett says of Vaughn, who died in 2016. "We made one of the world's worst movies together. I've made a point of not remembering the name." (It was 2012's "Excuse Me For Living," a rom-com that scored "rotten" on Rotten Tomatoes.)Ridgefield is "a wonderful place with great character" — and residents so polite that they "let you go ahead in your car when there's a long line," Cavett marvels. "Imagine somebody doing that in New York City?""
"Dick Cavett Presents," four interviews planned for The Ridgefield Playhouse's current season, are the latest events in the theater's ongoing, Hearst Connecticut Media-sponsored, "Entertaining Conversations" series.

Our current administration hasn't accomplished much in regards to restoring out 2nd Amendment rights. Our window of opportunity is closing quickly as Democrats may claim seats in the next set of elections less than a year and a half from now.
Contact your representatives and urge them to fight for our 2nd Amendment rights while pro-gun representatives hold the majority.
It's a good idea to highlight National Reciprocity and the Hearing Protection Act.
Phone calls mean the most, faxes help, and email is the quickest but least effective. Doesn't have to be much. Just a 2 minute phone call from thousands of people can help. Here's a quick sample.
Hello, my name is ____. I live in zip code XXXXX and as your constituent I would like you to fight to help restore our 2nd Amendment rights. Passing National Reciprocity and the Hearing Protection Act is a great starting point.
Wouldn't hurt to drop President Trump a line while you're at it.
Please contact all of your pro-gun friends and urge them to contact their representatives as well.

The fact that errors in questions and scoring for an entrance examination last February at Osaka University — which resulted in the rejection of 30 applicants who would otherwise have been admitted — were left unaddressed for nearly a year is disturbing, given the time and opportunities lost for the youths. While the university says it's ready to admit all 30 students in April and offer compensation, it needs to re-examine why it took so long to find out about the mistakes — even though the problem was repeatedly pointed out by outsiders. As the nation enters the entrance exam season this year, operators of all universities across the country should learn from this lesson.
Mistakes happen in entrance exams at universities. In 2001, an error in the allocation of scores in a Japanese-language test for admission to the engineering department of Yamagata University was exposed by a request from an applicant for scoring disclosure. When the university re-examined the past exam records, it found that more than 400 applicants had been mistakenly rejected due to the same error over the five preceding years. It was also learned in the same year that an error in a test scoring program used in the exam for the humanities department at Toyama University left 16 applicants mistakenly rejected — and that the university had covered up the error for two years. More recent examples include errors in questions at Chukyo University in 2015 and scoring mistakes at Osaka Prefecture University, in which the erroneously rejected applicants were later admitted.
These examples indicate that such errors can take place anywhere. The question is whether the institutions, when alerted to the possibility of any mistake, are ready to quickly examine the potential problem and take corrective action.
In Osaka University's case, the problem occurred in the physics test — which was mandatory for applicants to sections of its engineering and science departments. For one of the questions, there was more than one correct answer, but in the university's scoring of the tests, only one of the answers was graded as correct. This also caused a problem in the scoring of the next, related question in the test.
The problem was first made known to the university by a member of a group of high school physics teachers in June. In August, a lecturer at a prep school sent an email to the university making the same point. But a science department professor and his deputy, who were responsible for creating the questions, discussed the case among themselves and replied that they saw no problem with the question at issue. The prep school lecturer was not convinced by their explanation, sent another email to the university with details on the perceived mistake, and filed a request with the education ministry in September to take action when he got no subsequent response from the university.
It was only after the university received another email from an outsider in December, giving even further details on the problem — complete with a formula — that the school re-examined the case among more of its teachers, and identified the problem. When the university rescored tests based on the result, it was learned that 30 rejected applicants had in fact earned high enough scores to be admitted.
Now the 30 applicants — 28 males and two females — either enrolled at different universities or went to prep schools to prepare for another attempt at the entrance exam this spring. Also, there were nine students who ended up in the department of their second choice at Osaka University due to the scoring error. In disclosing the errors Jan. 6, the university publicly apologized for the errors and said it will admit the applicants in April if they wish to enroll. It plans to offer compensation to the students for prep school fees and other expenses, and consider steps to accept the students into its second-year courses if they are transferring from an institution that they entered last year. It is hoped that such steps are not coming too late for the students.
Following the disclosure by Osaka University, the education ministry sent out a notice to all public and private universities urging them to take steps to ensure against test-scoring mistakes and to take prompt action when possible errors crop up. Mistakes can be made, as past examples show. But operators of education institutions should be aware that delayed action to address those errors can have major consequences for the youths' future.

This might be NY in 2012.
Found this one online and was taken by it. A bit eerie, despite the ESB mysteriuosly crossing the East River.
This might be NY in 2012.
Pretty cool! Were there others or was this a single pic?
Is that from the movie "I am Legend"?
The guy who made this was inspired by this movie for sure.
We should probably rename this thread "Apocalyptical New York - Share your Photoshopped Images"
Pretty amazing photoshop
^^^^Photoshop, no way that's a painting
It seems to be in the photo realism style except, of course, the actual view isn't realistic in this case, although known landmarks are easily recognisable. It's a stunning painting. I love it.
I've always liked Richard Estes' photo realistic paintings of New York.
Some of these great old buildings can and are being saved. All it takes is someone with vision. The High Line comes to mind. Pics include Domino Sugar and Grossinger's Resort.
