A Beginner's Guide to Sports Betting
A Beginner's Guide to Sports Betting
Sports betting is a major pastime for professional and amateur bettors alike. Sports betting can generate absolutely huge sums of revenue for the gambling industry, especially when there is a major sporting event on. You only have to look at the amount of people who wager only once per year, namely on the World Cup or Grand National to see that. Everybody loves to have a punt on something at some point. If you haven't yet joined the craze, there are a few handy hints to get you started. Learning to wager on sports is not complicated at all, as you will see. Let's begin, shall we?
Finding a place to play
If you want to start placing sports bets, you will need to find a place to play before anything else. You could jog down to your local bookie, but that is often a hassle, and to be honest, they have less to offer you than your typical online sportsbook. So, playing online or via your mobile is your best option. There are many sportsbooks out there, and by and large they offer roughly the same odds on games. You could opt to stick with what you know. The big high-street sportsbooks are one way to go. Alternatively, you could go for something more obscure (though still trustworthy), in hope that they can offer you something their rivals cannot.
Simply open up and account and register as a new player. You will then need to slap some money down into your account. After depositing, you are good to go.
Stick to what you know
Generally speaking, it is advised to start off by wagering only on players, teams, leagues, and sports you are familiar with. This will increase your chance of success, since you are in the know. Of course, it is always appealing to slap a small punt on a sports bet with massive odds, but refrain from doing that until you know a little about the bet itself.
Using tools to maximise your efficiency
There are ways you can maximise your efficiency in the sports betting world, which will enable you to make informed decisions about your bets. Some online sportsbooks offer matchup tools, or statistics centres. These can provide you with all the knowledge you need to make educated and informed sports bets. On the other hand, you can do your research yourself by popping along to a sports news or statistics site. Take a bit of time with it, and make some notes. Only once you are fully armed with a range of stats should you consider betting. With enough information at your side, you may even be able to see the light in wagering a little on something which isn't likely to come off. Remember, the underdogs do sometimes triumph, but it is all about knowing which ones will, and when. The more you research and use the tools at your disposal, the more likely you are to see your bets come good.
Don't go wild
It is important that you don't go wild. Don't bet every day, and don't wager huge sums of money on an underdog. The good thing about wild underdog bets is that you don't really need to wager very much on them at all, in order to win a vast sum if they come good. Very few players love sports enough to wager on them every day. Stick to your favourite sports, and try not to stray to start off with. If it isn't the season for your particular sport, don't wager on another one unless you are comfortable with the rules of the game, and you know something about it. It shouldn't really need to be said, but for the sake or argument – never keep depositing and wagering vast sums to try and recover your losses.
Bonuses and promotions
New players should also keep an eye out for promotions and bonuses. Promotions can be very handy indeed. It is not uncommon to see football specials where you can get your money back in the event of a draw. "First to score" promotions and other bets can also be useful, since they seldom come with extra stipulations. Promotions tend to occur mainly in time for major sporting events.
Bonuses, on the other hand, are not necessarily a good thing. Personally, it is best for new players to avoid cash bonuses (unless they need the money to wager with). Cash bonuses come with wagering requirements which must be met before a withdrawal can be processed. In an online casino, you can quickly turnover the wagering requirements by playing slots, or table games. However, in an online sportsbook, there aren't too many events you will want to bet on regularly, so it may take quite a while to clear wagering requirements before you can withdraw. With that in mind, only take cash bonuses from online sportsbooks if you really need them.
How to place a bet
Generally, everybody is interested and knowledgeable about certain sports more than others. You simply browse the types of bets that are on offer for your chosen sport; see which bets interest you and compare and contrast the odds. Do the probability in your head, or check out stats and figures for previous matches to get a better insight, and then place your bet. Your winnings are based on odds. For example, if the odds are 2.00 (or 2/1), then you will pocket your original stake back, plus the same amount again, if you bet just 1.00. Naturally, the events with higher odds of 8.00 (8/1) or more are of course, far more attractive. These though, do have far less chance of success.
The types of sports you can bet on
There's a whole host of sporting events that you can bet on nowadays. Horse racing and football make up the two most wagered on sports in the world. There is a host of other sporting events that you can bet on though, that include American football (gridiron), baseball, basketball, boxing, cricket, cycling, darts, futsal, Gaelic sports, golf, greyhounds, horse racing, ice hockey, motor sports (such as Formula One and Nascar), rugby league, rugby union, snooker, speedway, tennis, virtual sports, UFC, volleyball, winter sports and many more.
Enjoy yourself
Lastly, now that you have got yourself set up at an online sportsbook, it is time to have a little fun. That word is important. Online sports betting is supposed to be fun. The second it stops being fun, stop wagering. With the right knowledge and a bit of skill, you can enjoy playing the sports betting markets and have a lot of fun doing it.

There aren't many who are familiar with the shooting of Neal S. Rosenblum, a 24-year-old Rabbinical student who died after being shot five times on his way home from evening prayer in 1986. Two years passed without any suspects in his murder until a cellmate of a man called Steven M. Tielsch came forward, revealing that Tielsch had been bragging about killing a Jew. It took sixteen years and four trials until Tielsch was convicted of third-degree murder.
Fast forward another sixteen years and Robert Bowers, a hate-filled anti-Semite, has just murdered eleven people in the Tree of Life Synagogue in Squirrel Hill, Pittsburgh on the 27th of October. Those eleven shared not only the same neighbourhood as Rosenblum, but they were murdered for the very same reason that he was.
Much has changed since Rosenblum's homicide, but the vitriol and seething hatred reserved for those of the Jewish faith seems to have not diminished in the thirty-two years that have passed. The eleven people that the world has lost were human beings with innately good qualities. Jerry Rabinowitz held the hands of patients undergoing HIV treatment back in the days when the disease was highly stigmatised. Melvin Wax, 87 at his passing, parked his car several streets away from the synagogue to accommodate those who needed the space.
Little kind acts of humanity like those were just symptoms of the undisputed togetherness of the Squirrel Hill community, but it was the symptoms of a great evil that led to the loss of precious loved ones. Just last year, the same neighbourhood received cards filled with "white pride" and anti-Semitic propaganda, while graves were desecrated and cemeteries vandalised in Philadelphia and St. Louis. The torchlit march of the white supremacists in Charlottesville shocked the world as they chanted "Jews will not replace us" but figures such as Donald Trump did little to fight the radical increase of attacks. When asked about that same Charlottesville march, he declared there were "very fine people" among those bloodthirsty for the eradication of Jews.
The Squirrel Hill messages were one of 1,986 incidents of anti-Semitism reported in 2017 across America, with every state coming forward with a complaint for the first time since 2010. Even in the days since the synagogue attack, the Union Temple in Brooklyn has been graffitied with messages such as "Die Jew rats we are here" while fires were set at six other locations.
The Washington Post detailed the Anti-Defamation League's annual report, which found that "the number of anti-Semitic incidents was nearly 60 percent higher in 2017 than 2016, the largest single-year increase on record and the second highest number reported since ADL started tracking incident data in the 1970s." The report continued: "The sharp rise, reported in ADL's Audit of Anti-Semitic Incidents, was in part due to a significant increase in incidents in schools and on college campuses, which nearly doubled for the second year in a row." The ADL's findings included "1,015 incidents of harassment, including 163 bomb threats against Jewish institutions, up 41 percent from 2016, and 952 incidents of vandalism, up 86 percent from 2016."
There is no longer one concentrated source of Anti-Semitism in America, nor can the rise of attacks be overlooked. Trump and his supporters are doing nothing but fuelling the hysteria. David N. Myers, professor of Jewish history at the University of California, believes that Trump "has dramatically elevated the level of rhetorical tension in ways that do not discourage people from acting out their terrifying views" and it is his corrosive elocution that has set the platform for men like Robert Bowers.
When questioned about his motive, Bowers told a law enforcement officer that he thought Jews "were committing a genocide to his people" a belief that strikes a similar chord with those who marched in Charlottesville. Trump's regime has paved the way for chaos to ensue, and it is a sad truth that Jewish people face the same persecution by their fellow American as Neal S. Rosenblum did in 1986.

Have any suggestions for the 3 Count? Let me know via Twitter @plagiarismtoday.
1: Internet Users Cannot be Sued for Browsing the Web, ECJ Rules
First off today, Alex Harn at The Guardian reports that the European Court of Justice (ECJ) has ruled that temporary caches of Internet sites stored in user computers do not infringe copyright and can be made without authorization from copyright holders.
The ruling is a part of the fight between the PR industry in Britain and the Newspaper Licensing Authority (NLA) against the new aggregation service Meltwater. Meltwater was accused of violating newspaper copyright and one of the angles of attack was that they didn't have a license to form local caches of NLA content.
However, the ECJ ruled that such copies do not require authorization. That overturns one victory for the NLA but another, ruling that headlines are copyrightable even if they are linked back to the source article, still stands, meaning Meltwater has not emerged victorious completely.
2: Justice Department to Review Music Royalties Decrees
Next up today, Ted Johnson at Variety reports that the Department of Justice has announced it will conduct a review of the consent decrees that govern ASCAP and BMI, the two organizations that represent songwriters and license musical compositions.
The review comes as ASCAP is in an ongoing dispute with Internet radio service Pandora. The decrees currently require rights agencies to offer licenses to such companies and the rates, if one can't be reached through an agreement, is set via a rate court. However, the DOJ is now looking whether to amend or even end those consent decrees.
The last time the consent decrees were reviewed was in 2001, 13 years ago. ASCAP welcomes the review noting that the way users listen to music has changed a great deal since then.
3: Beastie Boys Seek $2 million from Monster for Copyright Infringement
Finally today, Nate Raymond at Reuters is reporting that closing arguments have been heard in the case between the surviving members of The Beastie Boys and Monster Energy with the lawyer for the band asking the jury to return a verdict for $2 million for the unlicensed use of the band's music in a Monster promotional video.
It is the first time that the band had placed a dollar amount on the infringement. Monster admits that it infringed the band's copyright when it used three of their songs for a promotional video for a snowboarding competition, however, they claim that it was a mistake and that they amount they should have to pay should be no more than $125,000.
One of the band's members, Adam Yauch, died the day before the competition was to start and left in his will that he didn't want the band's music used for any promotional material, continuing the group's longstanding opposition to use of their music in advertising.
That's it for the three count today. We will be back tomorrow with three more copyright links. If you have a link that you want to suggest a link for the column or have any proposals to make it better. Feel free to leave a comment or send me an email. I hope to hear from you.

This episode was all about Clark and his Kryptonian family, and I'm hoping that the continued focus on his true heritage that Kara's arrival has brought will finally wake Clark up to the fact that living a normal, human life on the farm is not his destiny. With each episode of this season, Clark does seem more mature and more heroic, and I am loving that beyond belief. I really think it's more due to Tom Welling's acting than the writing, though, because most of that to which I am responding seems to be in his demeanor and delivery, rather than in the actual words he's speaking.
I liked how Clark acted independently and proactively to track down, and later rescue, Kara. You could see that his frustration with her actions, his distrust of her motives, and his need to connect with her as his only Kryptonian family were all at war within him. Kara's relentless pursuit of her crystal forced his hand, pulling him out of his comfort zone in Smallville and bringing him all the way to Washington, D.C. When Kara's recklessness put her in danger, he had to step in and save the day. See, Clark, that's what you're supposed to be doing all the time!
I love Kara more with each episode. I think the character is shaking things up in a good way, and Laura Vandervoort is doing a great job. I especially loved all the Clark and Kara scenes tonight. There is a real contrast between the two. Kara is true to her Kryptonian nature: smart, arrogant, headstrong, ruthless, and when she see fit to be, manipulative. They're definitely a race that believes the ends justify the means, as we've seen with Jor-El in the past. Clark has the capacity for all those same traits, but tempered by the qualities instilled by his human upbringing: virtue, integrity, justice, and compassion. It is the balance of his Kryptonian and human influences that makes him the superhero he's destined to become.
So what's the problem? I think it's fear. Fear of embracing his Kryptonian side, and fear of leaving the familiar world of Smallville behind. Fear of being always different and always alone. And I think Clark has made Lana the symbol of his fear, and thus turned irrationally staying by her side into an insurmountable obstacle on the path to his true calling. He doesn't really love her, he knows her own moral code does not measure up to the one he must meet, but he clings to his fantasy life with her to avoid that which makes him most afraid.
I thought Chloe was amazing tonight. First of all, she looked fabulous, with the outfit, and the hair, and that ethereal glow. Beautiful. And then she acted with dignity and poise while pretty much everyone treated her poorly. Clark completely dismissed her obviously ongoing concern over her MF status. Jimmy was an ass, repeatedly throwing his new relationship with Kara in her face. And Lana both insulted her intelligence and asked her to lie to Clark. Grrr. The one Chloe scene I loved was when Jimmy approached her and Clark at the Planet, and they just kept turning away from him and walking away, completely excluding him from their conversation. hee! When Jimmy first walked up, there was this series of looks exchanged that I totally fanwanked as follows [thoughts in brackets]:
Clark: Spies Jimmy coming down the stairs, glares. [Oh, great, here comes that Olsen jerk!]
Jimmy: "Hey, Clark! Did you hear from Kara? Is she okay?"
Clark: Continues to glare. [What an ass! I'm gonna kill him for hurting Chloe that way!]
Clark: Continues to glare. [Maybe I'll fry him with my heat vision.]
Clark: Continues to glare. [Maybe I'll just punch him into the stratosphere.]
Chloe: Looks at Clark imploringly. [Calm down, Clark! Be civil. I'm fine, really.]
Clark: Looks back at Chloe, unconvinced. [Are you sure?]
Clark: Shifts eyes back to Jimmy. [Because I really wanna kill him.]
Jimmy: "You guys look worried. What's going on?" *is clueless*
Clark: Looks at Chloe. [Okay, if you're sure. Damn!]
Clark: Looks down, turns, walks away. "Apparently Kara decided to go to Washington, D.C."
Really, it happened just that way! Go back and look! :)
We had lots of wonderful classic Lex in this episode. Lex is back this season, and I love it! He was menacing in the lab with Agent Carter (who wears waaay too much eyeliner, BTW), anguished as he tried to save Kara, unjustly accused by Clark (and Clark, if you're going to look at his mouth that way, you might as well just kiss him!), and tormented by Lionel. Plus, he looked sexy throughout, especially in that black suit with the long coat and the crisp white shirt. Yum.
I forgot to mention it before, but Clark looked beyond gorgeous tonight, especially during the confrontation scene with Kara in Washington, D.C. I was so dazzled the first time I watched it, I missed most of the dialogue! :)
Okay, I loved the whole House of El episode within an episode with special flashback lighting. Helen Slater was awesome, plus it was just lovely to see her again. She's actually pretty enough to have borne a son as beautiful as Clark! I learned the Kents went to church (who knew?), and never redecorated. The mom picture behind the mom picture was kind of cute, but seeing that photo of Martha made me miss her again, some more. I noticed that Kara wasn't wearing her silver bracelet in the flashback, but Lara was - do you suppose she gave hers to Kara? And we learned that Zor-El was definitely guilty of more than overacting. He even mind wiped his own daughter! Bad Zor-El! I loved that it all ended with that great Clark/Kara hug! Awww, they're a family!
So, let's talk about that final scene. I never saw it coming, and I pretty much screamed out loud when Clark pulled out that crystal. WTF?! On the one hand, I was thrilled that he had recovered it - talk about a Superman moment! He asked Lionel for all his info on Starhawk, evidently discovering something that enabled him to get in, steal the crystal, and get out, all without being detected. And he did it all by himself, no sidekick action necessary. Way to be effective, Clark! I can see why he went after it. He had to keep it from the government, and at that moment on the episode timeline, he also didn't know if he could trust Kara. But on the other hand, now that they're reconciled, why doesn't he tell Kara he has it?
And why is he showing it to Lana?! I get that he's trying to be totally open in their relationship, but, dude! At the very least, you know that she faked her own death and stole $10 million from Lex! She can't be trusted! And if Lionel and Clark have enough goodwill left over from last season's alliance with MM to hug (buh?), why is Clark lying about Kara, and why doesn't Lionel tell Clark that it was Lana who held him captive? And back to the crystal, what's with the DNA remark, Clark? You're not going to try to clone her, are you? Because that would just be creepy. Oh, well, it wouldn't be me talking about Smallville without at least one rant. :)
Random thoughts: Agent Carter knew Clark was Kryptonian because he was affected by the meteor solution, but when he burst through the 12-inch thick steel door five seconds earlier, that seemed perfectly normal? LOL! What's with Lionel wearing the Lex Luthor black glove? That Kimmy kiss was about the most passionless peck I've ever seen! That crystal Zor-El gave to Kara was just his insurance policy for continued life on Earth, wasn't it? It had nothing to do with saving Kal-El or actually helping his daughter. What a dick. Summerholt continuity! Yay! And Tom was totally rocking the deep Superman voice in this episode.
Next week has the potential to be either really good or really bad. Fingers crossed for good!

Alpine 212 Crash At Nakusp
ichimama replied to r0t0rdr1ver's topic in General Helicopter OperationsTSB#A16P0023: An Alpine Helicopters Bell 212 helicopter (N215KA), was carrying out remote heli-skiing operations about 15 nautical miles east of Nakusp, BC (CAQ5). The pilot was attempting to land on a marked landing site on a ski run called "Nicole". This was the second landing of the day at this location; the helicopter was carrying 10 guests, 2 guides and the pilot. The first approach was abandoned due to skiers from a previous group waiting on the landing site. On the second approach, visibility was reduced in fog and blown-up snow. The pilot still had the site markers and skiers in sight when it became apparent that the helicopter could not come to a complete hover and touch down would result in a run-on landing. The helicopter touched down on the pilot's right-hand side due to skiers near the left side of the site. With some forward momentum and sloping ground to the right, the helicopter's right-side skid dug into the soft snow, resulting in the helicopter rolling over to the right side. The pilot pulled both fire T-handles and exited the aircraft while the guides were assisting guests out from the back seats. There were no injuries or fire.

If I say "giant crocodile movie", what do you say back? Maybe, "That's gonna suck"? That's a reasonable response. In fact that was my exact thought when I heard about this particular giant crocodile movie. But that's not fair so I tried to watch with an open mind.
PRIMEVAL was directed by Michael Katleman (TAKEN [TV], DARK ANGEL [TV]) and written by John D. Brancato and Michael Ferris (TERMINATOR 3). It opens with text on the screen telling us this movie is based on true events.
Big time network news reporter Tim Manfrey (Dominic Purcell: EQUILIBRIUM, BLADE: TRINITY, THE GRAVEDANCERS) gets himself in trouble with his boss by mistakenly reporting that a Senator was taking bribes. As punishment he gets assigned to a lesser story: the hunt for a huge crocodile in northern Burundi, Africa.
Tim and "animal reporter" Aviva Masters (Brooke Langton: SLIDERS [TV], THE NET [TV]), along with Tim's cameraman Steven Jonson (Orlando Jones: EVOLUTION), head to Africa and meet up with reptile researcher Matt Collins (Gideon Emery: A CASE OF MURDER). Matt is an environmentalist determined to capture the crocodile alive.
The croc himself is known as Gustave and has been a legend among the locals for years. Like most reptiles, crocodiles keep growing their whole lives and they apparently can live to be a hundred. So Gustave is old and big and smart and has a hide thick enough to make him nearly bullet proof.
Tim has a serious chip on his shoulder, partially because he's here as punishment but mostly because he's a "serious" journalist and there can't be anything worth reporting in this middle of nowhere place, which pretty much describes all of Africa.
They reach the tiny river village where Gustave has been sighted and meet up with their guide, Jacob Krieg (Jurgen Prochnow: DUNE, PRIVATEER 2: THE DARKENING, HOUSE OF THE DEAD, DARK ASYLUM). He's a hunter so he and Matt don't get along so well. At one point, when the number of human victims Gustave has claimed gets mentioned, Matt dismissively says, "There are more than enough human beings on this planet." Jacob responds, "You don't seem stupid so you must be insane."
I agree with Jacob, by the way. Stupid treehugger.
And speaking of being judgmental, I will pronounce judgment on this movie as soon as we have a brief
There really is a Gustave the giant crocodile. His size is often exaggerated but he does exist and does eat people. He was last sighted by researchers in April, 2007, according to the National Geographic web site. Gustave is easy to recognize because of his many bullet wounds.
For other movies and how they got the science right or wrong, go to THE SCIENCE MOMENT.
But enough reality – what about the movie? Much to my surprise this giant crocodile flick turned out to be pretty damn exciting. The story moves very fast but is well written and well acted enough for us to get to know and care about the characters. The effects are decent and, even though the crocodile seems to magically be everywhere and seems far more active than reptiles are known to be, I still bought into it enough to suspend my disbelief.
But what really made me enjoy the story was the unblinking portrayal of a much worse monster: Africa. The corrupt, chaotic mess and lack of respect for human life that sadly seems to be the natural state of affairs in most places on this continent turns out to be more dangerous than a herd of giant crocodiles, and much more difficult to escape.
I can't believe I'm going to say this. I give PRIMEVAL, a giant crocodile movie, four shriek girls.

It's impossible to express how incredibly challenging this new reality is for the hospitality industry. As we all struggle to deal with the painful ramifications of the pandemic and search for certainty in this chaotic time, we can rely on the strength, ingenuity, and community of the hospitality industry. We have hope because we know we can count on each other during a crisis.
StarChefs is your sounding board, your voice, and your platform. That's how we believe we can best serve the service industry at this perilous moment when so many are so vulnerable.
We want to hear from you and amplify your message to the rest of the community via Instagram and our homepage. Please send your statements or videos by direct message @starchefs or email Director of Digital Media, Erin Lettera firstname.lastname@example.com. If you want to support the Service Workers Coalition like Andrew Tarlow, or other charitable organizations (local or national), let us know. Is there a mutual aid organization you'd like to draw attention to? Is your main issue rent forgiveness, like it is for Kwame Onwuachi? Let's hear it. Have you shifted the entire paradigm of your business like Canlis has? Do you want to call on our government to take action like Jen Pelka did? Do you want to share how you're tackling these new challenges like Jessica Koslow has shared, or inspire like Jose Andres, or just send a message of support? This is a rallying cry and hopefully a support system with helpful information where the industry can connect and share.
StarChefs will also be inviting a series of your peers and industry leaders to share their strategies for addressing specific problems. Do you want to know about how to turn your kitchen into a community kitchen, or how best to pitch in? Do you want to know how you can utilize Venmo or sell swag or gift cards? If there is an issue you would like addressed or person you'd like to hear from, we're listening.
When you send your message or video, please include any immediate needs you may have and any audience you're trying to address directly, along with pertinent links, hashtags, and/or handles. We will try our best to loop in appropriate local and national leaders and media so that your voice is heard.
We're all in this together and we hope we can make a difference.
Stay healthy, take care of each other, and we will get through this.

Play Tips:
It looks kinda like an Unexpected Party deck, but there's really no reason to actually play AUP: just put the little guys under the wizzie. Try to get 2 items out of at least one site using Thorough Search. Go to Lorien if you don't have anything to play at a given time: you might draw a brooch or bridge/ring.
Here's several site paths you might want to try (depending on your draw):
Lorien Bandit Lair Cirith Ungol Mount Doom (arrive with Brooch, 2 rings, and scroll on fourth turn)
Moria Bandit Lair Lorien Mount Doom (same arrival time/condition)
Gladden Fields The Lonely Mountain Lorien Easterling Camp/Mt Doom (again)
You get the idea, right?
[hero resource] (Fast-)Moving Dwarves Dunk Deck

Happy Monday, my friend! I have a super cute card to share with you today, so grab your favourite beverage, and settle in for a bit. As soon as I saw the preview of the winter release, I knew that I would be ordering this Winter Tales stamp set by Penny Black. I just love scenic stamp images, and the little birds on this one are just too cute! Seeing this stamp brought to mind my wonderful Design Team member Kia – she loves birds, and probably has the most bird related stamps than anyone I know. And that's okay, because she's so talented, and always creates gorgeous projects with them. So, hopefully I'll live up to her standard with my birds in today's project.
This Winter Tales stamp is a large one, but I trimmed it down to fit a standard A2 card.
Well – was I right about these adorable birds?! They look like they're having a very animated conversation – how fun would it be to understand bird talk?
This image lends itself to colouring with your favourite medium. I chose to watercolour with my Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers, and a water brush. To start, set up the stamp and your watercolour paper in your stamp platform. Because watercolour paper has a texture to it, you'll want to be able to re-ink and stamp at least twice, for a clear impression. Use an archival ink to cover the entire stamp, and press onto your panel. Repeat at least once more, until the image is crisp & clear. Now, stamp the image again onto a piece of masking or photo copy paper, and hand cut with scissors. This is your mask, so that you can stamp the trees behind the image.
Use the Winter Tree stamp, also from Penny Black, and stamp it in Gina K. Fresh Asparagus ink, with the mask in place. Stamp the tree on either side of the middle fence post; repeating the stamping for good ink coverage. With that done, you can remove the mask, and start colouring the image. For colouring with the markers, first apply a bit of colour directly to the image, and then immediately blend it on with a damp water brush. Continue to do this until you're happy with the depth of colour. Once the colours are dry, you may want to go back in to add more ink, to create depth and shadows.
To create the snow, add white Gouache paint without thinning it, directly onto the areas where the snow should be. Those are the tops of the fence rails and post, on the ground, and on the trees. For the sky, use the Blue marker and lightly brush it across the sky. Do a small area at a time, immediately blending with the water brush, so it isn't too dark, or blotchy. I love how the other colours within the blue start to show through, when it's blended with the water.
When the sky and snow are dry, thin out the remaining gouache paint with a bit of water. Put your mask back in place, to cover the birds and fence. Pick up the thinned gouache with your paintbrush, and splatter it onto the panel, creating smaller snowflakes. Remove the mask, and add a few snowflakes by hand onto the fence and trees.
Here's a close up photo, so you can see how the gouache, without water, creates dimension for the snow.
Now, stamp the small sentiment from the Concord & 9th Mistletoe Messages at the bottom, in Nocturne ink. Cover with clear embossing powder, and heat set. Layer 2 blue squares in opposite corners of your red card base, and then attach your image panel with foam tape.
I coloured my birds to look similar to robins, but you can make them into your favourite bird!
Thanks for spending some time with me today! I hope you've been inspired to have fun creating your own winter or Christmas cards. Or, just change up the sentiment, don't add the snow, and this would make a great anniversary or thank you card, too! If you haven't already, be sure to leave comments on each blog in our White Christmas blog hop, for a chance to WIN a $50 Scrap 'N Stamp Gift Card! You can start HERE at Tara's post.

Gravesend and Dartford get ready for Christmas sparkle with light switch on parades
PUBLISHED: 14:02 15 November 2016 | UPDATED: 14:02 15 November 2016
Entertainment from panto stars and school children will take place
An evening of entertainment is on the cards as Gravesham prepares for its annual Christmas Lights Switch On, on November 18.
Come down to the town centre from 4pm as crowds can expect street entertainers including Christmas Mime Elves, Santa and his helpers on stilts, Bloco Fogo Samba, and Crocodile Christmas Brass Band.
At 5pm there will then be a parade organised in partnership by Cohesion Plus and Gravesham Borough Council through the town before the lights are switched on. This will feature 10 local schools and some 500 children along with the bands and performers. The Mayor of Gravesham, Cllr Greta Goatley will accompany a fire bird at the front of the parade. The parade will set off from St George's Centre and travel through New Road, up Windmill Street and onto Community Square.
From 5.30pm at Community Square the lights will officially be switched on by the Mayor and there will be half an hour of entertainment. This will include a Jack and the Beanstalk panto stage area, where the cast of this year's show will amuse crowds.
Dartford town centre's getting ready to sparkle and shine at this year's Big Christmas Switch On which takes place on November 19.
Joe Pasquale will be joined on stage by The Gruffalo, The Wedding Singer and Orchard Theatre pantomime stars from 2pm, as the countdown to switching on Dartford's Christmas lights begins. There will also be performances from Chris Till, DAODS and The Little Mix Experience.
The performers will be joined on stage by the Mayor of Dartford Councillor John Burrell, Father Christmas and our colouring competition winner to switch on the lights at 5.20pm.
In addition to the acts and entertainment on stage in the High Street, there will be family entertainment and giveaways around the town centre.
Councillor Patsy Thurlow, cabinet member for events said, "We're looking forward to another spectacular Big Christmas Switch On this year and hope you can join us in the High Street for an afternoon of festive fun. It's a great start to the festive season and every year the town and all our visitors look great covered in paper snow. It takes ages to clear up but who cares? It's Christmas."

Then i realised it wasnt natural gas I could smell….. it was LPG…….. a quick root around produced this…… leaking at the valve!

Bats in the burners…..Comments Posted on Sun, February 27, 2011 21:38:59
On servicing a semi commercial oil burner I was amazed to find a dead baby bat in the fan. I was doubly amazed to find ANOTHER dead bat in the other identical burner. obviously they were a bit dried out, but what on earth makes a bat climb into the burner? i dont think it came in through the flue, as to get to the fan it would have to get through the heat exchanger baffles, then through the blast tube, then through into the fan….. my bet is they climbed in from the floor……..
I wonder if anyone reads this??Comments Posted on Mon, November 08, 2010 22:58:29

Triton tz80… 8 out of 10 cats prefer …Comments Posted on Thu, July 22, 2010 22:37:43
Two little helpers. you will notice one is actualy IN the box. When not messing with the wrapping they were in the bath with me (i was fitting a new shower), mostly trying to catch the water dripping from the leaking bath tap. I seem to attract cats for some reason. One i remember particularly was a small grey item that came and stole the screws for the bath panel, one by one. I found it funny till i had to walk down 4 flights of stairs and dig through my van for 20 minutes to find more!
Sleeping cat, and other road hazards……Comments Posted on Sun, July 11, 2010 22:18:08
I can only assume this part of the road was warm. This cat had no intention of moving, and i had to actualy get out and carry it to the side of the road. It wasnt hurt, as it ran off along the wall and onto the green car. I have doubts as to how long it will live behaving like this!

Thanksgiving Air Travel Expected to Increase
Airlines & Airports Rich Thomaselli November 10, 2014
Get ready for even more people moving about the country for the Thanksgiving holiday.
Traditionally one of the busiest – if not the busiest – travel times of the year, Thanksgiving air passengers are expected to increase 1.5 percent this year to 24.6 million passengers, according to Airlines for America, the Washington-based lobby group for the major U.S. carriers.
The 12-day Thanksgiving travel window begins Nov. 21 and ends Dec. 2. Thanksgiving is Thursday, Nov. 27.
A4A expects the number of air travelers during this time to increase 1.5 percent from the 24.2 million estimated 2013 Thanksgiving air travelers, averaging an additional 31,000 passengers per day. Daily passenger volumes will range from 1.36 million to 2.61 million, with the busiest travel days, in ranked order, expected to be Sunday, Nov. 30; Monday, Dec. 1; and Wednesday, Nov. 26. The lightest travel days are Thursday, Nov. 27 and Friday, Nov. 28.
"An expanding U.S. economy, rising personal incomes, employment growth and lower energy prices are driving growth in demand," A4A Vice President and Chief Economist John Heimlich said in a statement. "There is no better time to fly than now, as airfare remains one of the best consumer bargains in America, given its superior speed and price versus other modes of travel."
Atlanta Hartsfield, Los Angeles International and Chicago O'Hare are expected to be the three most-used airlines during the Thanksgiving holiday travel period. About 10 percent of air travelers will be flying internationally.
The online travel agency Orbitz projects airfares to rise two percent during Thanksgiving and five percent during Christmas.

Factory Girl (2006). Showtime recording. Remembering the mixed reviews that this Edie Sedgwick bio got, this one got avoided until Christopher put it on the TiFaux recently. Sedgwick's life, as a '60s socialite turned habitué of Andy Warhol's Factory turned burnt out druggie, certainly has the makings for a good film. Too bad this superficial thing isn't all that. Going by the dim memory of reading Jean Stein's terrific oral biography Edie: American Girl in high school, I could tell the filmmakers took many liberties with facts, hiding behind it with music video-like flash and dazzle. No doubt about it, this is Edie for Dummies. Not that everything here is awful; I thought Sienna Miller did an admirably good job as Sedgwick, and Guy Pierce did the best of any actor in capturing Warhol's creepy narcissism. 1996's I Shot Andy Warhol was an infinitely more rewarding and realistic portrait of that scene. For those who are curious about Edie, the only thing I have to say is — read the book.
Full Moon High (1980). Flix recording. While we've been enjoying the free premium cable, I've been checking out plenty on the unwanted stepchild in the Showtime family — Flix. This must be the place where all the weird little old movies that nobody really asked for on DVD go, including this genial werewolf spoof from z-budget movie auteur Larry Cohen. A youthfully cute Adam Arkin stars as a '50s teen who ventures to Romania with his wingnut dad (Ed MacMahon), only to be bitten in the wrong place at the wrong time. As parody, this movie is an unfunny failure. Its cheesiness and "throw it against the wall and see if it sticks" humor reminded me, in a bad way, of Attack of the Killer Tomatoes. Mostly I enjoyed it for the oddball cast: Kenneth Mars, Bill Kirchenbauer, Roz Kelly, Elizabeth Hartman, Demond Wilson, Pat Morita, Bob Saget, Jm J. Bullock. Adam's dad, Alan Arkin, even shows up as a straight-shooting doctor. You would never see that constellation of actors together on anything, outside of a Love Boat repeat.
The Lookout (2007). Excellent indie suspenser with Joseph Gordon Levitt as a former high school hockey star who is left brain damaged after a terrible auto accident. Falling in with a manipulative young man (Matthew Good, unrecognizable from Match Point), he becomes coerced into participating in a heist at the bank where he works. Although some of the characters seemed a bit cut-and-dried, this was a dynamite story with a nicely desolate small-town atmosphere. Levitt was outstandingly good; that Third Rock from the Sun kid has really matured into a good actor.
There Will Be Blood (2007). Showtime recording. Also excellent, although I think we missed a lot of the gorgeous photography in this regrettably panned-and-scanned showing. Daniel Day Lewis definitely earned his Oscar here. Compelling story, long but richly rewarding. Both of us could tell that he used John Huston as his vocal inspiration, not that there's anything wrong with that.
Thomas Kemper Black Cherry Soda. Yep, it's been several months and I'm still making my way through the specialty bottled sodas I bought last Fall. Truthfully, I need to be in a special mood for a full-on serving of sweetened soda. Whenever I want something sweet, it's more than anything else likely that I'd do a mixture at a restaurant soda fountain (try four parts Diet Pepsi to one part Manzanita Sol Apple; it's delicious). Bottle-wise, my next victim was the honey-sweetened black cherry flavor from Portland-based Thomas Kemper. This was really good, fizzy in texture with a subtle woodsiness to the cherry flavor. The sweetness didn't hit me over the head, which is just the way it should be. The root beer is Thomas Kemper's signature flavor; now I want to try that.

This new addition to the Smash + Tess is reminiscent of a romper with the layering capability of an overall.
A cross between a romper and overalls - the Midnight Black Romperalls has a traditional patch pocket on the front chest, square neckline, sewn straps, with in-seam pockets.
The length is a little bit longer than the traditional Rompers, so we encourage a little cuff… and best of all, the side cuts were designed to offer more coverage than the average overall.
Shop the entire Smash + Tess Collection at Carry Maternity here.

CCIFG organised the 2018 Infrastructure and Construction Conference
The Chamber of Commerce and Industry France Ghana (CCIFG) organised the 2018 Infrastructure and Construction Conference under the theme "building a new Ghana through infrastructure" to climax its focus within these industries throughout the month of May. The month started with a member visit to the new Tema Port Extension in collaboration with Meridian Port Services (MPS).
Attended by 90 business executives, participants were welcomed by the Vice President of the CCIFG Mr Gauthier Pourcelle who explained the significance of the conference saying "infrastructure and construction should be viewed as an investment into the country's economic growth". Kicking of the presentations, the Managing Director (MD) of the CCIFG, Mrs Delphine Adenot-Owusu in her overview of the industry underlined the 13.7% contribution by the construction sector to the country's GDP in 2016 representing a 24% market growth. She then touched on key projects such as the Terminal 3 project at the Kotoka international Airport but also in key sectors as health, energy and tourism recalling that Ghana's objective is to make the country a hub in all these sectors.
On the infrastructure aspects, two speakers gave presentations and presented their work. First Mr Frank Ebo Brown, Head of Legal Services of MPS, spoke on the transformation and expansion of the Tema Port. The USD 1.5 billion project is one of the major port projects in West Africa and is a joint venture between Ghana Ports and Harbours Authority (GPHA) and Meridian Port Holdings, with Bolloré Transport & Logistics and APM Terminals as the two main shareholders. He gave the participants the details of the different construction steps and presented how new port infrastructure will improve productivity, trade as well as attract large transhipment volumes. On the second infrastructure project, the MD of Bouygues Construction, Mr Jérôme Mulot, focused on the renovation of the Ridge Hospital to the current 30,000m2 Greater Accra Regional Hospital. He focused his presentation on sustainable construction and explained the implication of renovating the hospital with the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification as the hospital utilises now 22% less energy, 37% less water and 30% sustainably sourced materials and products. He added that sustainable construction is a driving factor for growth with benefits such as drop in building operating costs and higher return on assets.
The Development Manager of RMB Westport Mr Nicolas Moreau enlightened participants on the growing middle-class population impacting the construction of more retail developments and offices. He concluded saying that many projects particularly office markets are saturated in Accra with a lot development seen in the last 5-years, however there are still needs in the retail industry.
The 2 last speakers presented on the construction sector with Mr Federico De Simone, Director of De Simone Group on one side who focused his presentation on the balance between importing materials and using the local products. He specified that building cost to development represents 45% to 55% of the value of. On the other hand, Mr Frederic Albrecht, Managing Director of CBI Ghana gave an overview of the Ghanaian cement market, pointing out an estimated consumption rate of 6.3/6.5 million tonnes with a production capacity of 10.5 million tonnes in 2018 leading to overcapacity. He concluded by saying that the competitiveness of the cement industry will force players to have a customer-centred approach to bring new solutions within the construction sector.

One significant change and other subtle updates await attendees of the 2017 Southern Exposure conference put on by the Millen, Ga.-based Southeast Produce Council.
The annual conference, featuring the theme "The Magic of Produce," is scheduled for March 9-11 at the Walt Disney World Dolphin Resort in Orlando, Fla.
"We will have a few magic tricks throughout the show, and we have some magic elements that we'll be adding to the golf tournament on Thursday all the way through to the conclusion reception we have on Saturday," said David Sherrod, SEPC executive director.
The major change comes in the form of a third educational workshop.
Called The Commissioners' Corner, it will feature the five agricultural commissioners from Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina and Virginia.
"Our biggest goal at the council has always been to provide our attendees with the best networking and education experiences," Sherrod said.
"Our focus has been on not getting too many attendees because we want to have that feeling of intimacy that people have come to know us for. It's one of the things we strive to do."
Updates at Southern Exposure include improvements to the conference app and the addition of a social media game to encourage conversation before and during the conference, said Teri Miller, SEPC president and produce senior category manager for The Fresh Market, Greensboro, N.C.
"We've put a lot of effort into our social media engagement this year with all-new digital toolkits to help sponsors and exhibitors promote their attendance at the show, a new game we encourage all attendees to participate in for prizes, and all-new enhancements to our app to make the conference experience even easier," she said.
"Don't forget to use the hashtag #SouthernExpo."
Notable speakers
Southern Exposure has assembled a formidable list of speakers for the conference.
Educational Workshop III will feature Canadian author David Sax, an award-winning writer who has written about food trends, among other topics.
"David Sax will offer our attendees a different view on food trends - not necessarily the next 'big thing' but the how, what and why behind food trends," Miller said.
"(These trends) can be such an anomaly in our industry. Getting a better understanding from someone who has looked at them under a microscope to understand them should be very enlightening for our attendees in future forward planning for their companies."
Alison Levine, mountaineer and author of the New York Times bestseller On the Edge, will address the Southern Roots gathering as its keynote speaker.
"The Southern Roots committee continues to strategically develop programming and provide speakers that help women working in the produce industry become better versions of themselves, both professionally and personally," Miller said.
"This year's speaker, Alison Levine, will provide a motivating session for all attendees, encouraging both physical and mental strength we many not always think we have within ourselves."
On Saturday, Willie Robertson of "Duck Dynasty" fame will take the stage as the Southern Exposure's keynote speaker.
The Louisiana native is somewhat of a 21st-century Renaissance man as he is a TV personality, businessman (CEO of Duck Commander), outdoorsman, hunter and author.
"We have two great motivational speakers in Willie Robertson and Alison Levine," Sherrod said.
"I think they will bring a fresh perspective that will help us in our jobs and our daily lives."
All together, the agenda equals a "can't miss" event for Diana McClean.
"We don't miss Southern Exposure," said McClean, director of marketing for Castroville, Calif.-based Ocean Mist Farms.
"It is definitely on our list every year, and it's because of the great format of the show, including the exhibits and sessions."

Do not shut the doors on them
Alarmingly, 'refugees' have become the cause of Centre-state tensions, inviting the opinion of the judiciary. One must revisit the dark side of nationalism in Burma to understand the experience of the Rohingya people who have sought refuge in India. The expulsion of the Rohingyas from Rakhine is a legacy of Burmese nationalism that was allegedly motivated by the Nazi ideology.
India faces two challenges, political and constitutional, in relation to the Rohingyas. The influx of Rohingyas through Bangladesh is heating up the Bharatiya Janata Party's constituencies in northeastern states.
However, India does not have a domestic law on refugees. It is not a signatory to the United Nations Refugee Convention (1951) and the Optional Protocol. The Constitution, the Foreigners Act, Passport Act and the citizenship (amendment) bill 2016 play a crucial role. An amendment to the Indian Citizenship Act in 2015 permitted a certificate of naturalization for those who have resided in India for a period of 12 months immediately preceding the date of application.
However, another amendment to the legislation allows only 'persons belonging to minority communities, namely, Hindus, Sikhs, Buddhists, Jains, Parsis and Christians from Afghanistan, Bangladesh and Pakistan' to apply for citizenship. Significantly, those fleeing Myanmar also include Hindus. The amendment to the Citizenship Act should be viewed as a strategy by the BJP government to consolidate its electoral victories in the Northeast.
Grey spots
The Centre has stated that the ruling to grant citizenship to Chakmas and Hajongs is 'not implementable'. Is this a signal to the court to rule in favour of the deportation of the Rohingyas? The Chakmas are expecting citizenship, but all that the Rohingyas want is refuge. The courts as well as the UNHCR have noted India's obligation to respect the principle of non-refoulement, which states that nations cannot send back refugees to a place where they face danger.
The Centre seems ready to risk the contempt of the Supreme Court on the Chakmas while conceding to the demands of Arunachalis who do not want Chakmas and Hajongs to settle in the state. The politics concerning refugees stems from the absence of a legislation. The government had circulated a Standard Operating Procedure in 2011 to deal with foreign nationals claiming to be refugees. This executive order stipulates that the authorities concerned can grant long-term visa to those who offer evidence of 'persecution on account of race, religion, sex, nationality, ethnic identity, membership of a particular social group or political opinion...after due security verification.' A foreigner with LTV can be employed in the private sector.
But after the 2016 amendment to the Citizenship Act, the State intends to offer citizenship to all save for Muslims from Muslim-majority countries. This makes Muslim refugees from these nations 'illegal migrants' in India.
Postcolonial States are evidently behaving like the colonial governments they fought so hard against. It is thus imperative that the judiciary takes a more nuanced approach on the matter.
India must not close its doors to those afflicted by problems that were the creations of the Empire. Yesterday's refugees are today's citizens in many South Asian countries. The Rohingyas should be allowed to benefit from India's long-standing practice of welcoming refugees.
