Monthly Reflections
"Thy Word... A Light To My Path"(Psalm 119:105) - Fr. Augustine Vallooran V.C.
It is a very uncertain world that we are living in. Everything is constantly changing: structures, customs, philosophies, ideologies, opinions, beliefs, relationships. Everyone is searching for security, for some plank to hold on to, for some figure to trust in.
But Jesus offers us His disciples a sure foundation for our life in the Word of God. Even if storms should rage around us if we have made His word the foundation of our life, no harm can touch us. "Every one then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house upon the rock; and the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat upon that house, but it did not fall, because it had been founded on the rock." (Matthew 7:24-25) This is the grand promise of Jesus that His Word shall be the certainty of our life.
"To Whom Shall We Go Lord? You Have The Words Of Eternal Life" (John 6:68)
Jesus tells us, "If you make my Word your dwelling place you shall truly be my disciples." (John 8:31) Jesus offers us His Word as the training ground where we can be formed as His disciples and can live our discipleship to the full. Another rendering of the above verse presents this as "When my Word becomes your home…" What does it mean to make the Lord's Word my home? My home is where I belong to. This is the place that I come from and get back to. This is where I find the joy of my living; where I am comforted; where I experience love and security. The crucial question we need to examine is whether I belong to God's Word. This happens when I am so sure of God's Word that I am able to live by it everyday of my life. Living by the Word is the test of the authenticity of my discipleship.
There are many lights flashing around us; many false lights trying to divert us from our path. Can we still hold firm and pray as the psalmist does, "Thy word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path." (Ps. 119:105) The psalmist continues to affirm here, "I have sworn an oath and confirmed it, to observe thy righteous ordinances." (Psalm 119: 106) To swear by an oath and to confirm it speaks of something I am convinced of and committed to. When I meditate on God's Word and make it the rule of my life, every decision that I make will be in the light of God's Word. Everything that I do will be in the power of His Word.
"I Have Laid Up Thy Word In My Heart That I Might Not Sin Against Thee." (Psalm 119:11)
God's Word is the truth of life. Jesus while praying to the Father declared, "thy word is truth." (John 17:17) And to the people He explained, "Is not this why you are wrong, that you know neither the scriptures nor the power of God?" (Mark 12:24) It is wisdom to understand that every sin of my heart was due to this – I had not kept God's Word. The downfall of humankind came from this disaster. Right in the garden of Paradise the devil came with a lie to our first parents. He approached them and proclaimed that God was not to be trusted. God did not want their good for He was insecure that the humans would become like Him, satan explained. And distorting the purpose of God, satan declared that was why God had commanded them not to eat the fruit of that tree. The devil pressed on them to reach for the forbidden fruit as they would become like God and would experience great delight. Eve found satan's proposition acceptable. She took the word of satan as truth and abandoned the word of God. This false conviction of Eve brought disaster onto humankind. We cannot blame Adam and Eve. We have not fared better. All the time the world is telling us blatant lies that contradict God's Word. The world declares that if I must achieve some thing in life, if I must become successful, rich and famous, I must pursue the path of evil. I cannot afford to follow the Word of God. This lie has spread rampantly, playing havoc in the lives of the people and in families.
It is in this sad background of the world that you and I need to make a commitment. A personal commitment to God where His Word will be the lamp to our feet and the joy of our heart. We need to swear by an oath to keep His Word at every moment and situation because His Word is the truth. Jesus assures us "Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away." (Matthew 24:35)The Word of God remains forever to give us courage and conviction, security and salvation. When we meditate on the Word and make it a part of our experience, the Word of God enters our life and will sustain us through every change that happens around us.
"In My Mouth As Sweet As Honey" (Ezekial 3:3) The prophets heard the voice of God. And they offer to us a beautiful imagery as they declare to us that the Word of God is sweeter than honey (Jer. 15; Ez 3). Honey is what we relish. We take it into our mouth and we enjoy its taste for awhile. That is how the Word of God is to be taken into our hearts. We don't quickly swallow it, but slowly and prayerfully relish it so that it may flow into us and be assimilated as a part of us. Then all the grief and all the bitterness vanishes from our life.
Jesus confirms that it is to bring this sweetness into our life that He gives us His words: "These things I have spoken to you, that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be full" (Jn. 15:11). What is offered is the fullness of joy. Joy flows into us along with God's Word. Life is tough. Very often wrong things happen to us. We get sad and desperate. In such moments what is needed is to turn to God's Word. As we open out the Bible and hold the Word like honey, the word enters in and become part of our life and our heart. All the sadness vanishes and joy fills our hearts.
"The Word Of God Is Living And Active" (Hebrews 4:12)
The disciples have always experienced this intervention of joy in the dark moments as they opened their lives to the Word. The evangelist Luke describes the experience of two disciples, Cleophas and his companion. (Luke 24) They were journeying back to their village Emmaus. This was after the death and burial of Jesus. They were very bitter, defeated, angry and frightened. The one hope of their life was gone. They had hoped that Jesus would establish the kingdom and they would have high positions in this new kingdom. But the Lord was now crucified and buried. And everything was indeed over. In fact, they were recounting this sad turn of events to Jesus Himself! The risen Lord was walking with them. But they did not recognize Him. Finally after having heard them out Jesus opened the Scriptures to them and explained how the entire sequence of events was in God's gracious plan. Every suffering Jesus underwent, the humiliation and betrayal, even His shameful death and burial, were all part of the grand design of God for the salvation of humankind. As they were listening to the Word, joy filled their hearts and they would recall, "Did not our hearts burn within us while he talked to us on the road, while he opened to us the scriptures?" (Lk. 24:32)
"My Word... Shall Not Return To Me Empty" (Isaiah 55:11)
I remember a highly placed professional who came here for retreat. He was an engineer, employed in a prestigious Government firm. He found his work very tough. His employees were not co-operating with him, the superiors were always finding fault with him and things were not going well even with his own performance. Every day he would come home tired, burdened, sad and angry. He shared these problems with his friends. They would listen to him for awhile. Slowly he understood that his friends had no time for him. They were busy with their own problems. Who has time for anyone in this busy world? He stopped approaching his friends. Meanwhile the problems were getting very acute. He took to the bottle in an attempt to relieve his stress. He became addicted to alcohol. This made him feel more defeated and more depressed. He knew he had embarked on the road to self destruction. He was shattered. It was at this point of his life that he came here for retreat.
He shared his problems with me. I opened to him the psalm which read, "O God, if thy word had not become the delight of my heart I would have perished in my affliction." (Psalm 119:92) I explained to him that the entire issue was simply that the Word of God has not become the joy of his heart. I prevailed on him to read God's Word every day for half an hour. He was not to merely read but must relish God's Word and feel God speaking through this Word to him personally. The live presence of God was waiting to be manifested to him.
This is the truth. When I read the Bible I am not just reading any book. Of course the Bible is a book. But it is much more than a book. It is the living Word flowing into my heart from the very heart of God. From the heart of God along with the Word the power and the joy of God rush in to flood me.
I met this engineer a few months later. His countenance had changed much. He joyfully shared how he found God's Word so meaningful and relevant in his daily experiences, "God's Word has turned my life into a joyous experience. Of course, the problems in the office have not changed much. But I am not distressed. I turn to God's word. Every morning I wake up with anticipation to hear what God had to say to me that day. I meditate on His message for a while. I memorize a few verses. I repeat these verses during the moments when things are slipping out of control. Very soon I am able to recapture that sense of God's presence in my work. I find my life and my work have become very beautiful, very joyous."
Life indeed is beautiful when we live it with Jesus. This is the offer the Lord makes to us today. There may be moments when we may become sad. But our sadness will be turned to joy when the Word of God becomes "the lamp to our feet and light to our path."

The Romantic Poetry Handbook
English | ISBN: 1118308735 | 2017 | 352 Pages | PDF | 1 MB
An absorbing survey of poetry written in one of the most revolutionary eras in the history of British literature
This comprehensive survey of British Romantic poetry explores the work of six poets whose names are most closely associated with the Romantic era Wordsworth, Coleridge, Blake, Keats, Byron, and Shelley as well as works by other significant but less widely studied poets such as Leigh Hunt, Charlotte Smith, Felicia Hemans, and Letitia Elizabeth Landon. Along with its exceptional coverage, the volume is alert to relevant contexts, and opens up ways of understanding Romantic poetry.
The Romantic Poetry Handbook encompasses the entire breadth of the Romantic Movement, beginning with Anna Laetitia Barbauld and running through to Thomas Lovell Beddoes and John Clare. In its central section Readings it explores tensions, change, and continuity within the Romantic Movement, and examines a wide range of individual poems and poets through sensitive, attentive and accessible analyses. In addition, the authors provide a full introduction, a detailed historical and cultural timeline, biographies of the poets whose works are featured in the Readings section, and a helpful guide to further reading.
The Romantic Poetry Handbook is an ideal text for undergraduate and postgraduate study of British Romantic poetry. It also will appeal to every reader with an interest in the Romantics and in poetry generally.

Do you have any helpful information about selecting Dispensers to provide to other customers? Please post them here!
In an emergency, disposable gloves are vital for protection. Randy Bellon, the president of BOWMAN who was previously a medic, knew firsthand the need to have a convenient place to grab gloves. Working with the engineers at BOWMAN, he developed a dispenser to hold disposable glove boxes.
Dispenser Line Grows
The idea took off and in 1989 the Glove Butler™ was launched. Those dispensers were expanded into the healthcare, food service, industrial, and safety industries worldwide. BOWMAN continues to innovate by making the first double, triple, and quad glove dispensers.
Bowman is the Leader
Today, dispensers have been expanded into a complete line of products for personal protection equipment and apparel. BOWMAN (Bowman Manufacturing Company, Inc.) is the leader in designing and manufacturing dispensers that make workers safer, organized, and more efficient.

Adelaine stood outside the Three Broomsticks with Gavin and Seamus, waiting for the others to arrive. They had agreed to meet back here within ten minutes; they'd told Professor Malkin they were going to shop, and he seemed intent on watching them separate into little groups and walk into the stores before he headed to the Hogshead.
Ye don' suppose they've got caught up in shoppin'?
" Seamus muttered irritably, his teeth chattering.
It was snowing harder than ever, and windy too. Adele refastened her cloak and pulled her hood lower. Instead of a dress, she wore comfortable dark brown breeches and black leather boots, and told Deirdre and Marigold to do the same; they were going to be prepared if there was any need to run this time.
Gavin was bouncing up and down on his toes, and Seamus stared at the ground so as to keep the snowflakes out of his eyes. The wind was dying down a bit, but it was still freezing.
I'm sure they'll be here soon,
" Adelaine said, trying to sound upbeat.
The plan was this: they would all head back to the cave, wands ready knowing that Renoir had probably tightened the defenses. They were going to explore the treasure and find more curious objects. Adele had her little leather-bound black book in her pocket. She'd spent the whole week studying it, and she was surer than ever that her hunch was correct.
There they are!
" Gavin announced as the others headed in their direction.

Marigold wrapped her coat tighter around herself. She was normally used to the cold. But, this was a weird cold. It was colder than cold. Like it was foreshadowing something. Marigold brushed it off. She had to stay focus. She had a job to do.
"Hey guys."
Marigold said, meeting up with the others. Asher and Peyton followed close behind. The only one left waiting on was Deirdre.
Marigold patted her bag and tried to ignore the buzzing in her head. She had brought the tiara, just in case the needed it for something. But, it was really starting to bug her. It seems that the closer they got to the cave, the more it "talked".
"Marigold. Marigold. I know you can hear me."
it chanted in a sing song voice over and over again. Marigold didn't know why it was talking to her. Maybe because she was the first one to touch. Maybe she was the one that was around it the longest. She didn't know. But, whatever the reason, it was really starting to bug her.
"Looks like the wind is dying down."
Peyton said. Marigold nodded in agreement and rubbed her eyes. She was exhausted. She was too excited to go to sleep. Maybe they would finally figure out what was in the cave.

Deirdre ran quickly from the post office. She had to send a letter to her parents and it had taken longer than usual to do so. She felt bad for making them wait on her.
A few curls escaped from her braid as she ran but she finally reached the Three Broomsticks to find everyone waiting on her. Peyton's eyes settled on her when she stopped in front of them and she saw a smile out of the corner of her eye.
"Nice of ye te join us."
She heard Seamus say.
she said, brushing snow from her breeches.
"I got caught up at ta post office."
Peyton nodded.
"Well, we're all here now. I guess we should head to the cave."
I see no point in being a lady if I cannot first be just a girl.

Adelaine's excitement was building as the rest of the group finally arrived. Following Peyton's suggestion, the students began to make their way to the forest, trying not to look too suspicious. Aside from small children with their parents, they were the only young people in the village today.
So, when are ye plannin' on tellin' us yer hunch?
" Seamus asked as they finally reached the edge of the forest.
Yeah, your head's been stuck in that book for days,
" Gavin half-joked.
I'll tell you all when we reach the cave, when I find what I think I'm looking for,
" she responded and continued walking.
What exactly
she looking for? There was no way to know for sure; it could be absolutely anything. But that tiara couldn't have been the only curious object in the cave. And Deirdre said the symbol looked familiar…maybe once they figured out who the things belonged to, it would be simpler to find more of what Adele wanted to find.
Marigold, you did bring the tiara, right?

"Of course. It's in my bag."
she said, opening it and pulling out the tiara. It turned hot. Burning hot. Marigold dropped it, her hand steaming and red.
"Well, that's not good."
Gavin said. The tiara melted all the snow around it. Marigold was surprised that it didn't burn through her bag.
"It seems to have a negative effect on the new spells."
Peyton said. He pulled out his wand and pointed it at the tiara.
"Finite Incantatem."
he said. The spell bounced back at Peyton and sent him flying into Asher.
"What fools!"
the voice said, laughing at them. Marigold smiled and felt the urge to laugh too. She shook it off, covered her hands with her coat, and carefully put the tiara back in her bag.
"Well, that didn't work."
Asher said, pushing Peyton off of him and pulling out his wand. Marigold got her wand too.
"Marigold. Find me Marigold. I'm in there. Bring me peace."
the tiara said. Marigold shook it off.
"The spell you need is Impervius."
it said. Marigold looked at the cave. The third years were scanning it, trying to detect spells. They weren't finding much. Marigold remebers reading about the Impervius spell. It makes things repel.
It might work.
she thought. She pointed her wand at the entrance.
she said. Silver layers of spells appeared in front of her and made a rip where she was pointing, like Moses parting the Red Sea. She slowly walked forward, trying to control her magic. She looked back. Everyone seemed to be following her. Finally, they were past the defenses and in the cave. Marigold lowered her wand and wiped her brow.
"That was fantastic! How did ye know to do that?"
Seamus asked. She didn't think she had impressed him that much.
"The tiara told me."
she said, patting it. She could feel the heat it was giving off.
"Good girl Marigold. Good girl."
the voice said. Marigold smiled. She was a good girl.

Adelaine watched as Peyton tried to direct a spell at the tiara, quite unsuccessfully. She then noticed Marigold's small smile when Peyton and Asher crashed into each other. She was now surer than ever that her hunch was correct.
This could go very wrong,
she thought with a frown, following the others into the cave.
Wow..'s even shinier tan oi remembered it,
" Seamus said in a daze.
He was not wrong. Adelaine had never seen so many galleons in her life, which was really saying a lot; the Lord of Newcastle did not lack for money. Aside from galleons, there were jewels and trinkets and paintings. An ancient looking sculpture of an intoxicatingly beautiful young woman stood a bit further in, a pendant draped around her neck.
So, Adele,
" Peyton started eagerly. "
You gonna tell us your idea now?
Oh, right, um,
" she muttered, snapping out of her thoughts. "
Well, I was thinking… it may be…. Well, I'm quite sure it is…a horcrux.
She paused to let that sink in, but got nothing but blank stares. Pulling out her book, Adelaine sighed; she had really hoped she wouldn't have to do this. Couldn't any of them have sneaked into the Restricted Section every once in a while?
A horcrux is an object that keeps you alive... But before you lads get excited,
" she interrupted the grins forming on their faces. "
You have to murder. Murdering rips your soul; then you take a piece of your soul and put it into the object, making a horcrux.
Adele, that's...that's really dark magic,
" Gavin exclaimed, looking horrified.
What is that book?
" Asher demanded, pointing to it.
Adelaine actually felt close to tears for once, finally feeling like the 11 year old girl she was. So far at Hogwarts, no one had known about her family's background in the dark arts, but clearly that couldn't last. She just hoped her friends wouldn't think she was the same way. Before she could say anything, however, her attention was drawn to that same faint humming just like it was before. She turned to Deirdre, knowing the Hufflepuff was best at offensive magic.
Deirdre, do you know the charm Renoir used to create that buzzing in our ears?
((OOC: K so about the humming: it's only heard by Adele. It's the bracelet in the stream calling to her, which she realizes is what it must have been last time. Marigold and the others only heard it once they reached the siren last time.))

Deirdre followed behind the others, watching carefully in case something happened. She wasn't too at ease about entering a cave that her friends had been attacked in once already.
The gold around them was more than her own family held claim to as Irish nobles. But the sculpture of the woman was what caught her attention. She looked familiar to the girl. Then she realized why.
"Is ea, I remember ta spell."
She mumbled. Then louder she said,
"I think I know whose tiara ye found, Marigold. Te sculpture 'ere is of my namesake, Deirdre mac Daill."
The boys made their way over to see the sculpture. Her features were absolutely perfect, even carved in stone as they were.
"She's beautiful."
Peyton said. Deirdre nodded.
"Beautiful enough to wage war over. Before she was born, a court druid foretold of her great beauty. Ta king, Conchobar, wanted her once she was old enough, so he took her from her family when she was born and gave her to a hag to raise in secret. One day when Deirdre had grown up to be a powerful witch herself, she told ta hag she would love a man with ebony hair, snow white skin, and lips ta color of blood. So ta hag helped her meet Naoise, a warrior in Conchobar's court, and they fell in love. Word of her existence had reached far and kingdoms went to war to gain her. While at war, ta horrid king found out about her relationship with Naoise. Not much is widely known about what happened, but the king killed Naoise and it is rumored that Deirdre killed herself or died of grief."
She turned from the statue to look at them all.

Marigold examined the statue. She was absolutely beautiful. She could see the resemblance.
"Stunning, aren't I?"
Lady Deirdre said. Marigold nodded. She looked around to make sure if anyone noticed. No one did.
"She's very accurate. I did fall in love with Naoise, the most handsome knight in Conchobar's court."
Lady Deirdre said with a dreamy sigh. Marigold sighed too. Asher noticed and looked at her.
"Perhaps we should get that away from you."
Asher said, reaching for her bag. Marigold snatched the bag up from him and made a hissing noise. Lady Deirdre was laughing in her head. She enjoyed this. Everyone looked concerned.
"Marigold, you've been around the tiara for too long."
Gavin said, reaching for her too. Seamus and Peyton nodded in agreement.
"No I haven't! You don't understand! She speaks to me. She understands what I'm going through. I'm not lonely anymore."
Marigold protested. The last sentence rang in the air.
"What ye mean by lonely? Ye have all of us, don't ye?"
Seamus stated. Marigold let that sink in. Was she really lonely? Or, was that Lady Deirdre talking?
"Oh. It's me talking alright. Do you know what it's like to be down in the dingy cave without anyone to talk to?"
Lady Deirdre said.
"But, why me?"
Marigold asked out loud. This seemed to confuse the boy.
"You're smart but you have little self confidence. You're always hidden in someone else's shadow. Yet, you're open minded. You think differently. That's why I talked to you. You wouldn't freak out. You wouldn't go crazy. You would accept it and find a solution."
Lady Deirdre explained.
Marigold remembered the hours she spent in the library and the hospital wing trying to find a solution. She thought that she was just going crazy. But, that wasn't case. It was horcrux.
"Come on. Let's keep moving."
Marigold said, walking through the cave, looking for clues. Asher helped her.
"Marigold, if you're not feeling alright, you need to....."
he started.
"I can take care of myself just fine thank you. I don't need a male nursemaid to watch me all the time. And, no. I'm not going crazy."
she snapped. Asher nodded and went back to searching without saying a word. Marigold sighed. Maybe she was going crazy.

Adelaine listened to Deirdre's account of the legend of her namesake, glad to have the attention taken off of her. A classic tale of tragic love affairs, but if the story was true... What could persuade someone to make a horcrux? What if the tiara wasn't the only one?
I think -
" she began, but was cut off when Marigold snapped.
Did she just hiss?
Adelaine furrowed her brow. She wanted to consult the black book, but didn't want more questions about how she got it or what was in it. From what she remembered though, it didn't say anything about the effects of a horcrux.
Marigold, stop,
" she said fervently as her friend wandered farther. "
Let go of the tiara, it must be possessing you somehow....
Adelaine lost her train of thought. It was that noise again; the same hum she heard last time, only now it was more of a song. She crouched down and put her head in her hands. It must have looked like she was in pain, because Seamus rushed to her side.
Wha' is it, Adie??
She couldn't answer; the song was drawing her in again. A thought came to her...what if the song was calling to her the way the tiara called to Marigold? What if it wasn't the siren at all?
We need to venture on...
" she said decidedly.
Are you sure, Adele? If that siren is there -
" Gavin started hesitantly.
Deirdre, do the spell now, just on me,
" she insisted.
She wasn't taking no for an answer. They were closer than ever to solving this mystery. When she was certain everyone understood, she lead the way to the stream.

Deirdre turned wide eyes on Marigold. The girl was acting stranger the longer she had the tiara. She was beginning to worry for her. And Adele seemed to be having troubles of her own when she told her to cast the spell.
"Alrigh'. Muffliato."
Deirdre cast the spell on her friend and turned back to the statue to get a closer look at the pendant. Upon inspection, she saw the necklace wasn't a part of the statue, it was just hung around it's neck. It had the same knot work engraved in the silver pendant that the tiara had. She stood on her toes to look a little closer.
"Can you hear me?"
A voice sounded in her ears. She backed up from it a little.
"Oi, Adele? I think I found another one."
Deirdre pulled on the pendant, snapping the chain it was on. She held it up for them to see.
"It jus' talked te me. It has te be another horcrux."
"Don't put it on and don't listen to anything it says."
Gavin warned.
"These things seem dangerous."
Deirdre nodded and stuffed the necklace in her breast pocket. She followed the others to the stream.
"Please, stay away from the water. It isn't safe."
The young girl ignored the voice in her head and moved forward.

((OOC: Sorry it's so long, trying to fit a whole lot into one post!))
The spell had a very strange sensation when it was cast; Adele felt a wave of dizziness before the buzzing in her ears ensued. She couldn't hear anything through it, but it looked like Deirdre was saying something to her by the statue.
I can't hear you, but um..
" she said, probably very loudly judging by the looks she received. "
Keep that pendant just in case!
It wasn't near as cold in the cave as it was outside, so Adelaine shrugged off her cloak and set it safely by a pile of jewels. Now down to her boots, breeches, vest, and tunic she felt much safer; she'd be able to run if needed, without tripping over her cloak. Checking to make sure the others were behind her, she lead the way to the siren, unaffected by it's song. Ten minutes in, she nearly jumped out of her skin when Seamus came up beside her.
Uh oh…
she thought grimly. He was walking faster than normal, followed closely by the other lads. They must be getting close.
Wait, wait, wait,
" she muttered fervently, jogging to get ahead of them.
They quickened their pace, in a trance, and she broke into a run. What was the spell Renoir used? It was on the tip of her tongue when she reached the stream, well ahead of everyone else. And there it was…just as strangely beautiful as she remembered, the siren raised an eyebrow and ran her fingers through silky white hair, albino from a lifetime in the cave. She knew Adele wasn't affected by the song. Just as she bared her teeth and prepared to lunge, Adelaine remembered the spell..
" she shouted. With a flick of her wand, the siren turned to stone. She turned the wand on herself and said, "
Finite Incantatum.
Now able to hear, she turned to the others. The boys were scratching their heads, confused. Before she could ask how they were, however, she heard it again. The song - Deirdre's song.
This way!
Adele plunged into the stream and lit her wand immediately. It was nearly impossible to see. The stream lead two ways: to the right, a lit passage with a small stone path imbedded in the middle; to the left, a small dark and narrow passage, with no rocks to safely walk on and it was barely high enough to stand up straight. She knew she'd hate herself for it, but the song was pulling her this way....she turned left.
Adie, ye can' be serious!
" Seamus said, following her anyway.
I am, though, this is the right way,
" she said, trudging through the current.
The small group continued through the passage, Gavin and Seamus (being the tallest) ducking slightly. The song got louder and louder. Before long, Adele stepped on something. She dipped her wand into the stream to light up the water. It was a small, ruby bracelet, and it was singing to her. Reaching down, she picked it up and studied it. The rubies were twisted and shaped to form the same Celtic knots that the tiara and pendant had.
That's curious..
A shout broke her thoughts.

Marigold was towards the back of the group, bringing up the rear with Asher. Lady Deirdre had gotten louder after Deirdre found the pendant. Now, with Adele finding the bracelet, Marigold couldn't hear herself think. And, Lady Deirdre wouldn't stop talking. She just kept going on and on. Marigold kept her ears covered at all times, even though her voice was in her head. It was almost unbearable.
You know, when I was your age, servants didn't get to learn magic, even if they had magical ablitites. They were to be kept dumb. That's the way nobles liked it. They couldn't repeat wheat their masters were saying because they didn't know politics. But, no. Nowadays, anyone can be a witch or wizard. Ugh! Now, annoying! Oh, by the way, a Kappa is behind you. I recommend the Deprimo spell.
Lady Deirdre said.
Marigold whipped her wand out and said,
The Kappa, a weird scaly sea monkey, shot backward towards the siren. Then, Marigold realized that there were many of them.
"Umm....guys! We have company!"
Marigold said. Everyone pulled out their wand.
Ooo! A battle! How fun! I haven't dueled in years! Let me do it! I can use some advance curses that you cant
Lady Deirdre begged. Marigold had to fight with all her might. She could feel her mind being tugged on. She fought for control, almost being strangled by a Kappa if Asher didn't blast it away. Asher positioned himself where he was stuck between a wall and a hard place. A Kappa jumped up from behind him and started to strangle him, making all kinds of monkey noises.
Marigold screamed. Seamus turned and Stupefied the monkey. Marigold sighed in relief as Asher rubbed his throat.
"There's to many of them."
Gavin said.
"We got to get out of here."
Peyton said. Marigold looked around, thinking.
Kappas strength comes from the water that's in their heads. When they retreat to the water, they get more strength.
she thought, the wheels turning in her head.
That won't work.
Lady Deirdre said.
I know. But, I've got to try.
Marigold replied.
"Asher, Peyton, Seamus, Gavin. Use the Aguamenti charm with Recessus. Adele, Deirdre, hold on to something."
Marigold said. The boys nodded and stood in a circle.
Marigold said. The boys said,
"Aguamenti Recessus.
in unison. The water started to be sucked into a sphere of water, revealing the Kappas that were hiding under the wall.
"They're angry. Boys, hold that water. Adele, Deirdre, we have to make them spill the water out of their head by making them bow."
Marigold explained.
Seamus called out from the roaring water sphere.
"Like this! Incarcerous!"
Marigold said as a Kappa jumped at her. The Kappa was wrapped in ropes and Marigold kicked him the stomach. He doubled over and the water spilled out.
"That's not effective! That's takes to much time!"
Peyton said. Marigold knew he was right. They needed a better plan. But, Marigold couldn't think of anything. Then, she noticed that there was a leader. He stood back from the others, observing everything.
Marigold called out to him. He hissed at her in greeting.
He's angry. Be careful. He's not like the others. He's clever. That's why he's the leader.
Lady Deirdre advised. Marigold nodded.
There's another way to appease him. A cucumber with your name on it.
Lady Deirdre said. A cucumber?
Play it cool.
Marigold thought.
"I'll make a trade with you."
she said, acting like she digging around in her bag for something. This sparked his curiosity.
I wish Fane could hear me.
she thought. Suddenly, there was a cucumber in her bag. She smiled. It was good to be friends with house elves.
"I'll trade you your water and this cucumber, if you leave me and my friends alone."
she said. The Kappa started bouncing up and down, oohing, extremely excited. She smiled and burned her name into the cucumber.
"Do we have a deal?"
she asked. The Kappa nodded and she put the cucumber on the dried river bed.
"Drop the water guys."
she said as the leader grabbed the cucumber. The boys let go of the spell and the Kappas swam away.
"So, do you always cucumbers in your bag?"
Gavin asked. They all laughed and they continued forward.

Deirdre tried her best with the kappas but before she knew it they were defeated.
Go further. You've nearly found me.
The pendant told her.
"Oi, everybody. Follow me, I think I know what's ahead."
She waited for the others to get close before moving further down the stream. The closer they got to the end, the more the pendant spoke to her and she knew it must be getting worse for the other girls as well. When they reached the end, she couldn't believe that the Celtic beauty of legend was standing before them.

Adelaine could not believe her eyes. They came to a dead end of sorts. A blue lagoon, sparkling with white sand; the walls of the hollow were made of crystal, etched with Celtic symbols, that seemed to give off it's own light. Here and there were large, flat crystal boulders, and on one of them stood the legend herself…Deirdre. She had long, wavy black hair, ice blue eyes, and lips red as a rose. No wonder everyone in Ireland had wanted to marry her.
Clever children, you found me,
" she said with a smile, her voice echoing.
Aye, we have,
" Asher spoke up boldly with his wand at the ready, the smartest of all of them at the moment. "
Now which of your horcruxes is your true personality?
Right, are we dealing with the evil of the tiara,
" Gavin chimed in. "
The manipulation of the bracelet, or the matronly nature of the pendant?
Deirdre (the original one) studied them shrewdly for a moment, sizing them up. She turned away then and dipped her feet in the water, humming a song. At that moment, Adele knew that if she wanted to, Deirdre could bewitch them all in a heartbeat and do away with them. But that didn't seem to be her plan.
A very, very long time ago I was as young and carefree as all of you,
" she began, lazily braiding then unbraiding her hair. "
I fell in love, but another was jealous. He was a powerful wizard, and he captured me. He froze my magic and threatened me; said he would kill the man I loved if I didn't do what he said. Naïve as I was, I believed him and made three horcruxes. I'll spare you the details of those three deaths.
She paused and Adelaine stepped forward hesitantly. "
And…..what happened then?
He killed him anyway and hid all my horcruxes. His revenge was that I'd have to spend an eternity in my grief.
That's a terrible fate, my lady,
" Gavin gallantly said. "
But, the horcruxes are all here.. Why haven't you destroyed them?
Don't you think I would if I knew how?
" she snapped, causing a miniature whirlpool around them for a second. "
You children ought not wander where you aren't wanted. Renoir and Ellington are searching for a way to destroy the horcruxes. Go now, leave me in peace!
The whirlpool started again, and the group tore away from it and ran back the way they came.

Marigold ran as fast as her feet could carry her. Lady Deirdre was nothing like Marigold had expected. She expected a pure evil witch. Turns out, she was nice--she just wanted to die.
Marigold stopped at the mouth of the cave and took a deep breath, trying not to throw up. She sat against the wall, feeling her heart beat a million miles per hour.
Fools! You still have my horcruxes!
Lady Deirdre said. Marigold could tell the other girls could hear her too. Marigold looked around the cave and had an idea. She took the tiara out of her bag, trying not to burn her hands, and put it on the base of her statue.
"Let's leave them here, for Renoir and Ellington to easily find."
Marigold explained. Everyone nodded and agreement and Adele and Deirdre put the pendant and the bracelet on the statue.
"Lets get out of here before we miss supper."
Gavin said, already leaving the cave, food on his mind.
Food sounds really good right now.
Marigold thought. Then, she realized that that was the first thought she's had to herself in a while. She smiled and sighed in relief. Lady Deirdre was no longer in her head. She was free. She was herself again. Marigold glanced back at the cave as they were leaving. She smiled. She just helped complete a legend. The Legend of Deirdre.

45 day price guarantee, 45 day return policy, 100% secure shopping
The dizzying perpetual motion of the traditional Italian folk dance is captured in this vivacious and showy piano solo by Jennifer Linn. Excellent recital material, this fiery tarantella fits that sought-after category of sounds hard, but is easy to learn crowd pleasers. By definition, a tarantella is a folk dance of southern Italy. Like the tarantula, its name is derived from the town of Taranto. According to legend (now discredited), the dance was a cure for the tarantula's poisonous bite. It is danced by a couple to a regularly phrased tune in 6/8 time, which gradually increases in speed. HLSPL Level 4 (Early Intermediate) piano solo. A minor; 6/8; Tempo: vivace; 48 measures; ABA form; broken triads in RH accompaniment figures, with LH melodic line that crosses over the RH with accented double notes; Reading range: full staff; Perf. time: 50 sec.
- 4 pages
- Size: 12" x 9"

From early Thursday morning until Saturday evening, DIS took each "core course" class on a different itinerary through Western Denmark (mostly Jutland, the region that's always the first to get occupied by Germany because it's a peninsula connected to mainland Europe). That means I was with 34 other kids and two chaperones/guides/teachers traveling throughout a country smaller than the state of Florida for two and a half days straight.
[Needless to say, I needed a lot of alone time and sleep after that; it's exhausting to me to be with Americans and exhausting to be with people my own age. They're nice enough people, but a girl needs her peace and quiet-- especially a girl like me, who is internally a lot closer to a 65-year-old tee-totaling librarian than a fun-loving twentysomething.]
This is a small Photoshop experiment combining a few of my favorite pictures from the weekend. We visited a castle, the tip of Jutland (Skagen), an art museum, a prison, a folk high school (nothing like our high schools), the place where the North (Atlantic) Sea and Baltic Seas meet, a bowling alley, a hostel, a motel, a brewery, and Odense, the town where Hans Christian Andersen was born. I think my favorite part may have been the ferry ride from Zealand to Jylland, pictured above. I was reenacting a scene from "Yentl."

A seven-year-old boy from Skegness has donated more than a foot of hair to charity, raising hundreds of pounds for the cause at the same time.
Charlie Fothergill donated 12-and-a-half inches to The Little Princess Trust, a charity which provides real hair wigs to children who have lost their own hair due to cancer treatment or illness. It was only his second-ever haircut.
"He's never liked going to hairdressers," said mum Theresa Fothergill, 33.
The Richmond School pupil has encountered the subject of cancer through studies of the children's book Gangsta Granny by David Walliams, but also through a former classmate who was treated for the disease.
He said: "I wanted to grow my hair and get it cut to help all the little boys and girls who need it. I am proud of myself because the boys and girls that are in hospital might feel better."
It took place, free of charge, at Skegness' Hollywood Hair and Beauty. The donation was backed up with £400-plus raised through sponsorship.
Theresa said she was 'proud' of Charlie, while his teacher Rachel Stacey described it as a 'selfless act' and said it has even inspired other pupils to do the same.

CARDIFF U. (UK) — Interstellar sonic booms traveling through the galaxy leave filaments of gas and dust in their wake that stretch for tens of light years and contain newly-born stars in their densest regions.
Scientists using the the European Space Agency's Herschel Space Observatory observed one such filament in the constellation of Aquila that contains about 100 infant stars.
The extremely cold gas and dust in interstellar space can only be observed with far-infrared light. While they have been seen before, Herschel's high resolution has allowed astronomers to measure their widths for the first time.
It is unusual in astronomy for objects to have a fixed size—planets, stars, and galaxies all come in a wide range of sizes—so it was expected that the filaments would be seen to have a range of widths. The team analysed 90 filaments in three regions of the sky.
"Curiously, our study shows that all interstellar filaments detected in the three regions tend to have a typical width of about 0.3 light years," says Doris Arzoumanian, from CEA and the paper's lead author. "These findings highlight that something must be going on at this particular scale."
For comparison, the width is around 20,000 times the distance between the Earth and the Sun, or around 1/12th of the distance to the nearest star..
Comparisons made with computer simulations have led the astronomers to conclude that the filaments may be formed when slow shockwaves dissipate in the interstellar clouds.
The shockwaves that travel through the Galaxy, sweeping up gas and dust and forming dense filaments, are the result of the energy produced by exploding stars, which cause a great deal of turbulence in the surrounding regions.
Since the interstellar clouds are extremely cold, at around 10 degrees above absolute zero (or -263 Celsius), the speed of sound is relatively slow—at just 200 m/s (450 mph), compared with 340 m/s (760 mph) at sea level here on Earth.
This means that the slow shockwaves are the interstellar equivalent of sonic booms. As they lose energy in the clouds, they leave behind these tenuous filaments of gas and dust.
Other models have previously linked the formation of the filaments to gravitational collapse and the effect of magnetic fields, but without these observations the distinction was not possible to make.
"This is very strong evidence linking these interstellar shocks to star formation," says Derek Ward-Thompson, professor of physics and astronomy at Cardiff University. "Understanding this link will help us to develop our theories of star formation."
The results use observations by the SPIRE and PACS instruments on board Herschel, and are focused on three regions ranging from 500 to 1500 light years away, in the constellations of Cygnus and Aquila, and near Polaris in Ursa Minor.
They are part of the Gould Belt, a ring of similar star-forming regions stretched around the sky which is being studied by Herschel as part of the Gould Belt Survey, led by Philippe André from CEA France.
"Filaments are the first structures to develop during the fragmentation of interstellar clouds, hence they're the objects to watch when investigating the very early stages of stellar formation," says André.
"This is an incredibly interesting result which no one could have predicted," says Matt Griffin, professor of physics and astronomy at Cardiff. "With observations like these, Herschel is helping us to answer some of the biggest questions which remain in astronomy."

SEIS: company and investor procedures: company procedures: advance assurance requests: information needed
In order to give an assurance the HMRC officer will need to be satisfied that:
- the company is a genuine growth company (for shares issued on or after Royal Assent to the Finance (No. 2) Bill 2017-19; see VCM8500+)
- the company can be expected to be a qualifying company (see VCM34010),
- the shares to be issued will be eligible shares (see VCM33020),
- the shares are to be issued to raise money for a qualifying business activity (see VCM33050),
- the money raised is to be employed only by companies that satisfy the rules of the scheme.
When making its request for an assurance the company may supply primary facts or broad statements (such as, 'the shares to be issued will be eligible shares'). We will not give an assurance unless the information supplied includes all the following:
- a copy of the latest available accounts of the company, and of any subsidiary company. If the company has not yet drawn up a set of accounts, we do not expect it to do so for this purpose
- the company's business plan including financial forecasts (see below)
- details of all trading or other activities to be carried on by the company and any subsidiary, and a note of which company or companies will use the money raised
- a schedule of all tax-advantaged investments received by the company, including the amount, date and scheme under which each investment was received
- details of the amount the company hopes to raise, and a schedule of the activities, and amounts, on which it (or its subsidiary) intends to use the money; the amount does not need to be precise but should be close to the actual amount needed and not state rough figures such as 'up to £5 million'
- an up-to-date copy of the Memorandum and Articles of Association of the company and of any subsidiary, and details of any changes to be made
- a copy of the register of members at the date of submission of the advance assurance application
- details of any subscription agreement or other side agreement to be entered into by the shareholders
- confirmation that the company expects to be able to complete the declaration on form SEIS1 in due course
- details of the potential investors; if the company is using an intermediary to provide investors, details of the fund managers or other business promoters who are expected to provide these investors (see VCM35045)
- a copy of the latest draft of any prospectus, information memorandum, brochure or similar document relating to the relevant fund raising or offer to be issued to potential investors
- any other relevant information, for example group structure diagram.
Companies should ensure that they are aware of all of the qualifying conditions of the scheme and provide any further information they think may be necessary to allow the officer to consider whether all the requirements are likely to be met. For instance, details of minority holdings in other companies, or details of other companies' minority holdings in the issuing company, may be relevant in determining whether the 'control and independence' requirements will be met - see VCM34080.
The company should draw attention in its application to any point of doubt with an explanation as to why it believes the requirement is met.
Any assurance supplied to a company is given only on the basis of the information provided. The HMRC officer is under no obligation to check the accuracy or completeness of that information. However, it is important that any obvious gaps in the information are filled and any apparent contradictions explained, and the officer may ask further questions to ensure that that is the case, or decline to provide an opinion if the information supplied is not sufficient to form an opinion.
Business plans
All companies seeking a relevant investment must have a business plan. It is not expected that this should be a new document produced for advance assurance, but one that has already been provided or is to be made available to potential independent investors as part of any company's normal commercial arrangements for seeking investment from the market. The business plan is a key document to persuade independent investors to invest in the company and should contain the same level of detail as any potential market investor or lender, for example a bank, would expect to see.
The level of detail will vary depending on the size of the company, its development stage and the amount of investment the company is seeking. The larger the company and/or the investment, the greater the detail that will be required for example in terms of turnover and profit forecasts. All business plans should explain how the money is to be spent, including the relevant business activity, and give details of any follow-on funding that is likely to be needed.
Where the relevant investment is follow-on funding of an earlier relevant investment the business plan should also refer back to the earlier business plan and explain how the previous investment was used. Follow-on funding received after the end of a company's initial investing period must always be used for the same relevant business activities as a relevant investment received before the end of the company's initial investing period or where condition B is met.
The business plan should also explain how the investment will lead to the company's growth and development in terms of, for example, increased turnover or employees.
Where a company is seeking follow-on funding HMRC officers may ask for further information about the initial relevant investment especially if the initial relevant investment was received before 18 November 2015 and no business plan was provided at the time of the earlier investment.
HMRC will take a pragmatic approach to companies that did not provide a business plan in relation to investments received before 18 November 2015, particularly smaller companies that may not have been aware of the need to provide a business plan at the advance assurance stage. Note that the first relevant investment must always have been received by the company within the permitted maximum age limit.
Follow-on funding for the same business activities will normally be raised within a few years of the initial investment. A company that seeks follow-on funding more than five years after an earlier investment for which no business plan was provided will need to provide separate evidence that, at the time of the initial investment, and any subsequent fund raises, it anticipated the need for additional follow-on funding for the same business activities.

Best Treatment For Under Eye WrinklesPros: Similar to bifocals, the glasses have distinctly separate areas, with a line separating them for up close, mid range and far away distances. Most insurance companies cover these types of glasses. The vision is crisp for reading, computers and driving. Trifocals are a great solution for those who need all three ranges on a regular basis and don't want two pairs of glasses.
Think about what a magnifying glass does with sunlight. Remember that experiment in school wherein you let the sun shine through a magnifying glass and it BURNED whatever was behind it?
Of course, it was the bifocal sunglasses. Before wearing them, I wore my regular prescription sunglasses, the ones that were only for nearsightedness. The ones that do not have magnifying glass in them.
If you need vision aids because of your vision problems, prescription sports glasses come to aid you. They not only protect your eyes but also offer you vision clarity. People who suffer more than one vision problems, like myopia and presbyopia at the same time, wear bifocal glasses in the daily life. Speaking of which, cycling glasses with bifocal or progressive lenses can make them see things clearly. So, cyclists who have defective vision can also give their cycling experience to a full play with the help of prescription cycling glasses.
In general, reading glasses are more stylist version than the traditional spectacles. They are more functional too. They come with colorful frames and attractive suspension chains and as sleek magnifier pendant necklaces that adorn your neck. You can also get the reading glasses as tiny foldable readers, easily accommodated in pen-sized cases. If you have to frequent in the outdoor, you can select tinted reading glasses with UV protection.
While this may seem too costly if you are blogging for pleasure, the benefits can pay off if you do it in high density packed areas such as shopping malls and related residential areas. Choose the area suitable to distribute your materials, for instance, if you are blogging on sports betting, don't distribute flyers to religious groups and during Sunday church gatherings.
There is an option in which you get to chat with a person that you are playing with in real-time, and there is no time delay. No, you dont hear from 10 minutes later, you hear from them instantly as you guys are playing the game. You can type to someone (sort of like AIM or MSN Messenger) on the other side of the world. You have the ability to abandon the robot opponent and face up against a human opponent or even a group of opponents.
This is probably the simplest way to use, to advertise your blog. They are probably the biggest attention grabber with those large size texts, and graphics. Banner Ads however can be quite costly to implement.
Alpaca Silver or German Silver is not necessarily silver by any means. It is a greyish looking alloy which often resembles silver. It is typically referred to as nickel silver, paktong, and new silver. It is also used as a base for silver plated goods because of its appearance. If you want real silver, stay clear of this. Also, steer clear of sellers who are selling this as "fine jewellery" to people that don't know the main difference between sterling silver and alpaca silver.
The consecutive advantage of #2 are a lot: social recognition; bridges area; energizes sympathy for other people online such as feelings, peoples attitudes, and their issues in life; and lets people experience the games that they play offline, online.

Thanks for the game @The Bald Headed Negro; you put a lot of work in so I feel kinda bad for slinking off as Ink's game started
I prefer mafia but this was an interesting change of pace, I think the biggest barrier for this game really is the multiple vote stages. If there was a way to streamline that it could help a lot
This is a mechanic I'm not too fond of though, I guess it's kind of needed in the game because otherwise the mafia would statistically almost always win, but I was massively disappointed having the scum revealed to me all at once. And the mafia being able to win on even a random chance is meh. I think there are variants of this game without the merlin thing
it's sort of strange for mafia, but add in some power roles or completely moves merlins immediate knowledge or something. i could see it work
hard to call it mafia, but still
I also think killing people is an important drive in mafia. Like as town it feels good to hunt down a mafia and get it right, as mafia it's rewarding to cuck the town, etc.
Here as mafia you can just smile in someone's face and they can't do shit about it.
Okay, thanks for the feedback man. Really appreciate it.

Took the kids to a new park (one we haven't been to), has a lake and a nice walking path. Jakob rode his bike, Sarah pushed her baby in the baby stroller. We fed the ducks, and did a lot of chasing Sarah away from the geese that were hissing at her - as she was trying to touch them!
Sarah had more than her fare share of tantrums, this is the stage we are in now - throwing herself down - she is just starting one in this picture - it looks way worse than this, and is quite loud - with a lot of kicking! Real nice in public!
I found this baby cradle at the resale shop, and I had to get it, Sarah is totally into babies right now. She spent at least 20 minutes with the cradle, putting all her babies inside of it, one by one, wrapping them in a blanket etc. Here she is going to take babies temperature which she calls a "beep beep" because that's what the thermometer does!
We gave Jakob his 5th Birthday gift a bit early, so he could enjoy it in the sunshine! A new bike! He is riding it at 8:30 am, in his pj shirt and jeans, no time to really change, he had to get on it! He knew he was getting a bike, so the surprise of the bike was pretty anti climactic for Mark and I, we were hoping for a bigger response, he was very subdued about the whole thing. Could have been the coming down from this sugar high, from the chocolate chip pancakes I made for breakfast!
We took the kids to the beach today, it was sunny but really windy and cold, but of course it was hot as soon as you got off the sand where the wind was. The kids had a blast.
Sarah, carrying her bucket to the water, which Jakob then went and filled up for her.
Jakob doing his best with me yelling at him to get Sarah out of the water. She seriously would be happy swimming in it! Her feet and hands were like ice, pants soaked but she kept wanting to go back to the "wata". Lots of distraction kept her up on the sand (a big hole that Daddy and Jakob dug worked well).
Mark wanted to drive us south of Cannon Beach to see more of the coast line, didn't really work with the kids, they were restless and super cranky (all Sarah), I was tired and Jakob was being a bit frustrating, so we drove home. Thanks Daddy for trying. Maybe when the kids are older or when we can do it without kids? Someday! Thanks for driving us home while we slept, you're the best!

Gosset - 2 new champagnes and Bolney English wine added to the range this weekend
Gosset is one of the oldest Champagne houses in France. Founded in 1584, the grapes used come from only the best villages in the Grand Cru and Premier Cru regions. Gosset has also been using the same 60 villages for every vintage since, well since forever! They wines are produced from only the first press juice and they don't go through malolactic fermentation to ensure the freshness and vitality of the champagne.
We are introducing the Gosset Grande Reserve and the Gosset Grande Rose. The Grand Reserve is made from the 3 great varietals of Champagne, chardonnay, pinot noir and pinot meunier. A lively, effervescent champagne with an intense and complex nose, aromas reminiscent of an early spring bouquet of spring flowers. Generous and full on the palate, fruity and smooth with flavours of figs and candied cherries followed by a lovely toasty almondy note. A long finish with remarkable crispness. A fabulous libation to enjoy with poulty or pork.
The Gosset Grande Rose is composed of chardonnay and pinot noir with the addition of still pinot noir to the blend to give it a lovely rose complexion. Fresh summer fruits on the nose, raspberries, wild strawberries and redcurrants. An opulent, full bodied rose, on the palate it shows plenty of red fruit jam and morello cherry. A lipsmackingly good rose which pairs well with seafish, small game or even a fruit tart.
We're also featuring 3 wines from Bolney Estate which produces Bookers Vineyard wines. Bolney is located in Sussex and has been awarded many accolades in the International Wine Challenge and the Decanter World Wine Awards. We are pleased to be carrying the Bookers Vineyard 2007 Pinot noir, the Bookers Vineyard 2009 Autumn spice, a lovely well balanced white wine with plenty of crisp acidity and a spicy character. We are also featuring the Bookers Vineyard 2009 Bolney Blush rose, a fragrant wine with a lovely coral blush hue, it's made from pinot noir and is the perfect accompaniment for a lazy lunch or light dinner.
Please come along to see what other new wines we have in stock.

just recently. I figured why not use all the little extras
that come in the Stamp Sets from My Besties.
These stamp sets have some pretty cute images and sentiments
that can be used in many different ways.
I just happened to have sticker sheets on hand and decided to try
stamping and coloring on it so I had ready to use stickers.
Worked like a charm and actually is not bad at taking
copic markers or my prisma pencils.
Also you can stamp on regular cardstock and make paperclip toppers
to match.
Here are just a few of the extra images in the stamp sets
that I decided to work with today.

I entered Integrated Strategic Communication not knowing anything about the course. All I knew was that I was placed in the course by Michelle Kelly because it was an open communications course. Little did I know then that this course was about public relations, a field I may partake in the future.
In my first post (link below) I said "Strategic Communication to me is the communicating of ideas and data over a prolonged period of time to achieve a certain goal. It is more of a long term process that requires planning and guidance to convey information in which organizations can use." I still think that it is a good definition but I would have to take back the it is a "long term process." I realize that communication in this technologically advanced world is instant. Through the use of social media networks such as Facebook, Twitter, and blogs, information and ideas can be shared at the click of a button.
I would have to say that the course has influenced me greatly in that I understand the importance of Public Relations and the use of media. Before, I viewed as public relations as face to face relations where a PR professional is hired by a company to influence a business partnership. When I thought of public relations I used to think it was about playing on the golf course where a PR professional plays a round of golf with executives of other businesses and investors in efforts to encourage relations with the company at hand. I now know that there is so much more to public relations than that. Public relations involves communicating to large audiences as well as small ones. And the ways to communicate no longer have to be face to face but rather through the various media outlets.

Best Answer:
The top answer is wrong (and I had the joy of buying one of the new displays based on that misinformation). If you have a late 2013 Retina MacBook Pro, to be clear, you can NOT use it with this monitor.

I have a MacBook Air 11" 2011 model. It has a Thunderbolt port (v1). It's specs show it to be able to drive a 27" monitor.
Running Sierra and using a Thunderbolt 2.0 cable with a Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) to Thunderbolt 2 Adapter DOES NOT WORK with this monitor.

The earlier answer says "The tech specs of every Mac model (model and year) state the maximum resolution of an external display that it supports." According to Apple's site, the tech specs for the the 2015 MacBook Pro states:
Dual display and video mirroring: Simultaneously supports full native resolution on the built-in display
and up to 3840 by 2160 pixels on up to two external displays, both at millions of colors.
So, it looks like even the 2015 MacBook pro will NOT support the full resolution of this monitor (4096-by-2304). If the 2015 MacBook Pro does not work with this monitor, it is hard to believe any models other than the current MacBook Pro will work with it.
Am I missing something?

A Mac with a native USB-C connector is required. The Mac doesn't power the display - it's the reverse - a single USB-C cable (included) can power the Mac, but ONLY up to 60w. That means the 12" MacBook and 13" MacBook Pro can be powered by this display. But not the 15" MacBook Pro (which draws 85w). The 5K UltraFine display supplies enough power for the 15" MacBook Pro

This monitor plugs into a wall socket for electricity. You have the concept backwards... This monitor can provide power TO a MacBook (12" or the 2016 Pros), not the other way around.

No. it's the other way around. This display can power 2015/2016 retina MacBooks and 2016 MacBook Pros.
