5 things downtown Hamilton could do without
The face of downtown Hamilton has changed plenty in the last decade. One way streets became two way, James Street became a bustling cultural hub and more people than ever are coming downtown for events like Supercrawl and Locke Street Festival.
Now, with expansions like the Royal Connaught development and the opening of a full-service grocery store, more and more people are turning their attention to the core.
Last week, CBC Hamilton asked the question "What else does downtown Hamilton need?" and got answers ranging from more places to live to an overall facelift.
Now, it's time for the flipside — what does downtown Hamilton need less of?
We asked business owners and downtown community members to chime in and narrowed it down to five things we could do without to keep the heart of the city on the right track.
Less negativity
Sgt. Jay Turner walks the downtown beat almost every day as a member of the ACTION Team — a group of officers tasked with keeping the streets safe.
"Downtown Hamilton now isn't the downtown of years ago," Turner told CBC Hamilton. "Three years ago we couldn't turn a corner without arresting someone. Now we can go days."
But you wouldn't know that things have changed downtown by listening to many people talk about it. Turner says the biggest thing keeping downtown down is negativity — bred by the city itself, about itself.
He says there's a perception held by some that if they head downtown, they're going to be "stabbed by a crack head."
"That's not going to happen," he said. "It drives me crazy to hear those things. There's so much beauty down here. A city can change, and people can change."
That change is palpable at an Art Crawl when thousands of people line James Street, but a lot of those people are coming from out of town, Turner says. So downtown Hamilton has to be promoted to the rest of the city.
"It's just a matter of getting the locals out. We have everything down there," Turner said. "Take those former negatives out and come look again."
Fewer buildings knocked down without firm development plans
Business owner Sean Burak says private individuals taking on small projects have built positive momentum downtown with owner-occupied commercial spaces and small storefronts.
"They've drawn new businesspeople and residents to the core," sad Burak, who owns the Downtown Bike Hounds cycle shop.
What he does take issue with is larger developments that linger without calculated planning and forward-moving progress. "When buildings are torn down, the lost opportunity is permanent and irreversible," he said.
In particular, Burak has been fighting to save 24 and 28 King St. E, which were built in 1876 and 1877, respectively. They'll be demolished this week as part of a compromise between the city and developer Wilson-Blanchard who now owns them. The properties at 18, 20 and 22 King St. E are to be restored as part of the agreement.
But Burak says the decision is shortsighted. "There is no time left to waffle. We can't afford a vacant lot at our most important corner — on our civic square. This affects every Hamiltonian."
Fewer absentee landlords
Landlords who let their properties in downtown Hamilton linger without taking care of them are a blight on the city's overall image, says Sylvia Nickerson, the past president of the Beasley Neighbourhood Association.
"There are a lot of people who own property downtown that aren't part of the civic spirit," Nickerson said, adding that often, these people rent their properties out and live elsewhere, letting garbage and problems pile up. Homes fall into disrepair, damaging the image of the downtown as a whole.
"When someone from Vancouver or Toronto owns a building in Hamilton and just doesn't care … that's holding the city back," she said. "It's demoralizing."
She points to businesses like the reborn Treble Hall on John Street between King and King William and Mixed Media on James Street North as businesses that should be held as an example of people who care about the core.
"Those people are definitely putting a lot of blood, sweat and tears into making Hamilton better."
Less lane capacity
Hamilton needs less lane capacity and more two-way streets to foster safety and community on downtown streets, says Ryan McGreal, editor of local blog Raise the Hammer.
"We have a street system designed for an economy that doesn't exist anymore," McGreal told CBC Hamilton. "We need to catch up."
And now that hordes of cars aren't traveling to and from the north end everyday for work, the city has far more lane capacity downtown than it needs for what's actually on the road, McGreal says. More than anything, it's speed he takes issue with.
"You have children walking down Cannon Street with transport trucks barreling towards them as they're going to school. It's dangerous to drive through a neighbourhood at 60 kilometres an hour," McGreal said. "You wouldn't want people to blast down a street at that speed with your family around."
According to a survey of 400 Hamiltonians conducted by the CAA, there is a 50/50 divide in the city between people who support and do not support street conversions. "The majority of reasons for not supporting changes are emotional, not safety or financially founded," the 2013 report on the survey results read.
According to the report, the overwhelming reason people didn't want one-way streets converted to two-way is because they're simply used to one-way streets. The next most common answers were the conversion would cause too much confusion and one-way streets make for faster traffic flow.
"The argument of 'I should be able to get where I'm going two minutes faster' is simply shortsighted," McGreal said.
Less income segregation in the housing market
Sara Mayo from the Social Planning and Research Council told CBC Hamilton that as more people move into downtown Hamilton and housing prices rise, affordable housing needs to be at the forefront of people's minds.
"We have to make sure to avoid income segregation whereby only the most affluent families can live in Hamilton's most central and walkable neighbourhoods," Mayo said. "The city needs a strategy to protect affordable housing, like an inclusionary housing policy, that would ensure not all new housing is priced at luxury levels, and instead require that 20 per cent of new housing units be affordable."
The city has bucked the national housing trend by seeing 7.4-per cent growth in 2012, the highest of the urban centres studied, according to the Teranet-National Bank House Price Index. These rising prices are great for current owners, but less so for renters and new families, Mayo says.
Affordable housing in Hamilton has been a big attraction in recent years — according to the Canadian Mortgage and Housing Corporation, the difference between a single detached home in Toronto versus Hamilton is over $150,000.
"And if we lose that, we're in a terrible situation," Mayo said.

Haiti: Aid effort six months on
The human cost of the earthquake in Haiti has been huge; millions were left hungry, their homes, schools and hospitals destroyed and their livelihoods taken away.
The earthquake - the most powerful to hit Haiti for 200 years - caused maximum impact as it hit the most densely populated area of the country.
A government assessment said the damage was all the more severe because it came after a period of relative stability, when people had begun to see their living conditions improve.
An emergency flash appeal launched by the international aid community within days of the earthquake quickly reached its $577m (£380m) target - but that target had to be revised upwards a month later when the full extent of the humanitarian operation became clear.
The UN Office for the Co-ordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) issued a new target of $1.5bn . The key aim was to provide an "environment for safe and healthy living for all affected people until reconstruction restores normality."
In April, the international community pledged a total of $9.9bn in immediate and long-term aid at a UN donor conference.
By July, 64% of the flash appeal had been met, according to OCHA, either in direct funding or in binding commitments to provide funding.
However, there are fears the humanitarian situation will worsen with the coming hurricane season. Emergency shelters made from tarpaulin are not substantial enough to withstand heavy weather and many temporary camps are also prone to severe flooding.
"With so many people still so vulnerable after the recent earthquake, a serious hurricane this year could be devastating," said Sarah Muscroft, head of OCHA in Haiti.
Aid workers are distributing and building "transitional shelters" which have steel or timber frames and provide more protection than tarpaulins and tents, but they take a relatively long time to construct.
Efforts are also hampered by the estimated 20 million cubic metres of rubble created by the earthquake. The latest OCHA action plan aims to clear 10% of the rubble but it will take 90 days and cost $120m.
In March, the Haitian government published a Preliminary Damage and Needs Assessment (PDNA) which estimated the cost of rebuilding the country would be $11.5bn, spread across governance, environment, social sectors, infrastructure and production.
Social services were inadequate before the earthquake with many children not attending school and 38% of the population over the age of 15 were illiterate.
Reconstruction money will be spent on providing free primary education for all, improving access to health services and reducing malnutrition.
Money spent on infrastructure will include training in building techniques to reduce risks, restoring the road and telecommunications networks.
Before the earthquake, unemployment was running at 30%. Trade, tourism, transport and communication were all badly affected by the quake and so efforts will concentrate on economic growth to create new jobs, as well as improving working conditions.

NEW YORK -- Eyes glazed and seemingly in a daze, Notre Dame senior co-captain Jack Cooley wandered a back hallway of Madison Square Garden looking for the way out.
He looked as lost as the rest of the No. 20 Irish did the previous two hours on a basketball court where they've had no regular-season success for nearly a decade.
Looking nothing like the team that ripped off 12 consecutive wins such a short time ago, Notre Dame sputtered through much of a forgetful night Tuesday before getting something going far too late against St. John's.
Still, with a Big East game again there for the taking, a veteran Irish outfit that prides itself on finding a way to figure it out found a way to again give it away in a 67-63 loss.
"I don't think we're missing anything," said senior Tom Knight. "I don't really know."
Looking to bounce back from what he called his worst game of the season three days earlier in a home loss to Connecticut, Cooley was limited to 10 points and four rebounds in a season-low 18 minutes. The only player in the Big East averaging double figures for points and rebounds spent the final 11 minutes of a close conference contest on the bench.
"I was just a little out if it early, it's just, I don't know what it was," Cooley said. "I don't really know. I don't know."
Same can be said about an Irish team with designs of winning a regular-season Big East championship. Two consecutive league losses dropped Notre Dame to 14-3, 2-2 eight days after jumping to an impressive 2-0 league start with a win at Cincinnati.
"It's just something we have to figure out as a team," Cooley said. "We just haven't been clicking right. Everyone's playing off a little bit.
"We'll figure it out."
Notre Dame has lost its last five regular-season meetings with St. John's at the Garden, where it hasn't won since 2004. Eric Atkins scored a season-high 21 points for the Irish, who staggered through the final 2:48 scoreless.
"They did a good job pressuring the ball," Atkins said. "We really couldn't get any offensive rhythm. We could have done a better job just attacking."
Erasing a 12-point deficit with 10 minutes remaining, Notre Dame threw together an 11-2 scoring run to take a 61-59 lead with 4:26 remaining. St. John's tied it at 61 before a hard drive from Jerian Grant gave the Irish a 63-61 lead with 2:48 remaining.
Notre Dame had chances to tie or take the lead three times the final 73 seconds — and came up empty every time.
Down one with 1:13 remaining, Grant thought he saw Knight rolling to the basket with a smaller St. Johns' defender trailing. Grant dropped the ball toward the rim but Knight had decided to put on the brakes. The pass dribbled out of bounds.
"I thought he was going to roll to the basket for an easy little lob," Grant said. "Just me overthinking the play, thinking for Tom. I should be thinking for myself and making plays."
Less than a minute later and the Irish still down one, the 6-foot-9 Knight seemingly had an easy opportunity at the rim, but was blocked by 6-3 guard D'Angelo Harrison. JaKarr Sampson then split one of two free throws to make it a two-point game with 19.7 seconds left.
Choosing to play out the final seconds rather than letting the Red Storm set up their defense off a timeout, the Irish looked to Pat Connaughton, who eyed a lane to the rim. Space opened for just a moment, and then quickly closed while Connaughton continued on his path. His layup was blocked by Chris Obekpa, who leads the nation in the category. The block bounced off Connaughton's head and out of bounds with 7.6 seconds left.
"We scratched and clawed, had some looks that could have helped us escape," Irish coach Mike Brey said. "We had to keep driving the ball. We came back driving the ball against them."
With nothing seemingly going right all night for the Irish core, Brey stayed with Knight and freshman Cameron Biedscheid for long stretches in a close game. No Cooley and no Scott Martin, who again did too little to matter when the game was there earlier for the taking.
"You go with the group that kind of made the run to come back," Brey said.
Martin grabbed eight rebounds, but was held without a 3-pointer for a second straight game. After getting only three points in the loss to Connecticut, Martin was scoreless Tuesday. He came into the contest the second-best 3-point shooter (50 percent) in the league.
"It was just a collective, gutty win," said Red Storm coach Steve Lavin, whose team bounced back from a simply awful effort Saturday in a loss to Georgetown.
The leading 3-point shooting team in the league at 41.8 percent, Notre Dame finally got a 3 to fall when Connaughton connected with 9:12 remaining. It was the only 3 for the Irish, who finished 1-of-8.
"We've got to make a few more 3s," Brey said. "I don't know how great our rhythm has been from there."
And everywhere else. From everyone.
NOTRE DAME (14-3): Scott Martin 0-2 0-0 0, Jerian Grant 5-10 4-4 14, Jack Cooley 5-9 0-0 10, Eric Atkins 7-9 7-8 21, Pat Connaughton 3-7 0-0 7, Cameron Biedscheid 1-6 3-4 5, Garrick Sherman 0-4 0-0 0, Tom Knight 3-4 0-1 6. Totals 24-51 14-17 63.

2 Aspects Individuals Do Certainly Not Figure Out Concerning LASIK Eye TreatmentsThe eye can be examined with relative ease regarding both its function and its structure. A functional assessment includes the capability to move in the orbit and the response of the pupil to light and lodging.
The function of the eye might be evaluated in several ways. The client might be asked to determine illuminated letter or objects of varying sizes on what is referred to as the Snellen chart.
Conversely, the evaluation of the structural part of the eye might be made in a number of methods. Stress within the eyeball is determined by a "tonometer." In specific illness, especially in glaucoma, the tension in the eyeball is increased considerably.
Nevertheless, it ought to be well kept in mind that a client with an eye problem might have other issues too. Frequently other physical conditions are main and impact the eye as a effect. The appearance of the eye can notify the doctor and the client to troubles in some disturbances of other parts of the body even before other symptoms present themselves.
As a result, one's reliance on sight is stressed when one deals with a possible or short-term long-term loss of this crucial sense. When corrective procedures are looked for, particular kinds of vision correction such as contact lenses or eyeglasses are recommended.
On the other hand, some people are troubled with that they have actually some framed lenses or contact lenses in front of their eyes.
For this reason, advanced surgical operations were developed to motivate decreased utilization of contact lenses or glasses. One of which is the now popular LASIK eye surgical treatment.
Basically, LASIK eye surgical treatment is the short-term for "Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis." Like its concrete counterpart, LASIK eye surgery is another kind of vision correction. The only distinction is that with this type of surgical treatment, one's vision is remedied completely.
With LASIK eye surgery, the refractive errors in the cornea are permanently changed. This can be done utilizing an "excimer laser."
The main function of this surgery is to produce a threadlike, rounded "flap" in the cornea utilizing a blade called "microkeratome." In a series of unfolding and laser processing, the cornea is finally reformed, permitting better the eye to direct more light into the retina.
Popularity vs. Disadvantages
In the middle of the growing appeal of LASIK eye surgery, there are still disadvantages that individuals need to know. Most likely, the primary reason that this kind of eye surgical treatment has actually become well accepted is because the majority of its cases had succeeded.
In spite of its success, there are still some downsides. Here is the list:
1. It is an operation applied to the most sensitive part of the eye
Since LASIK eye surgical treatment involves the operation of the retina, which is one of the most delicate parts of the eye, the majority of people say that the operation can be really dangerous.
In other words, a basic error might almost trigger an individual's lifetime loss of sight. Thus, it is necessary to think about lots of factors prior to deciding whether LASIK eye surgical treatment is the ideal corrective step one needs to undergo.
2. It is not a ideal treatment
LASIK eye surgery may fix your vision but it does not necessarily mean that it can provide you a best vision. Even if analytical reports show that 70% of the clients may have 20/20 vision, this does not necessarily imply they have ideal vision also.
Offered all these things, it can be deduced that, in spite of the appeal of the operation, LASIK may not constantly be the ideal eye surgery the way most individuals see try these out it
Alternatively, the evaluation of the structural part of the eye may be made in numerous methods. It must be well kept in mind that a patient with an eye problem may have other issues. Often other physical conditions are main and affect the eye as a effect. The look of the eye can from this source notify the patient and the doctor to problems in some disturbances of other parts of the body even prior to other symptoms provide themselves.
Like its concrete counterpart, LASIK eye surgical treatment is another type of vision correction.

The Dialogue is a Finnish program that addresses the timely challenges of working life each year from a different angle. Last year UPM was one of the program's partner companies. The subject of the study was diverse leadership and women as leaders. How does UPM seem as an employer from the point of view of young women? Is UPM a good place for a woman to build a career and reach personal goals? Let's find out!
The theme of women in leadership was chosen because of alarming figures on this matter in Finland. In upper management of 30 percent of Finnish companies, there were no women at all in 2015, the number rising dramatically from 17 percent in 2014. In 2014, 21 percent of Finnish companies' board members were women — in 2015 this figure was just 13 percent. According to research, diverse leadership is a significant factor in making sure that a company understands its surrounding circumstances and environment and is capable of making the right business decisions based on timely and relevant information.
Every partner company in the Dialogue program was assigned a team of female students from Aalto University. The team's task was to find ways to help diversity to develop within the company culture. A team was also made up of female company employees, and career coaching sessions in leadership were held for the team. The coaching focused on the importance of always being aware of one's career goals and strengths.
Christina Alexander, a student of bio and material chemistry, belonged to the group of students examining UPM.
"Our job was to review UPM as a possible employer from the point of view of female job applicants. What do women think about UPM's recruitment and human relations communications? Do women seem to have the same possibilities to advance than men? We examined the matter in our team and also conducted a survey with 61people." says Christina.
The results of the survey were published at the end of the year. "When compared with other forest industry companies in Finland, UPM was the most popular choice of company to work for. However, strong female leadership is not strongly associated with UPM and not everybody agreed that women would have the same opportunities to advance in their careers at UPM as men," continues Christina.
Taking part in the program strengthened UPM's view of the significance of diversity in the informed decision-making process. The different educational backgrounds, experience, know-how, nationalities and genders, as well as a varied age structure, all play their part in building a diverse working environment. The change comes from human resource policies that take diversity into account and from everyday actions at the workplace, at every level and every office and site. The male-dominated forest industry is not likely to change instantly, but the atmosphere can be changed for the better a bit more quickly.
"When working at a UPM pulp mill last summer I encountered a great working atmosphere. I can well imagine working at a mill again" Christina Alexander says.

LABSS is a not-for-profit membership organisation which represents Scotland's 32 local authority building standards services. The only appointed verifier for their geographical area. LABSS members work to protect the public interest by ensuring that all new buildings and those being altered, extended or converted comply with the building regulations and technical standards.
They approve plans for building warranty and agree a site inspection process before the construction phase starts. LABSS members inspect work on site and seek to ensure that buildings meet reasonable standards to enable the acceptance of completion certificates.
During 2016, LABSS plan to engage with FMB Scotland members to explain how LABSS members can work with members to improve the building verification process and experience. LABSS will take this initiative forward by developing joint training and information for FMB members.

If you love the idea of renting vintage props for your wedding, but not exactly sure what way to go, have no fear. We are here to help and our very own Hand-Picked vendor Casa de Perrin gives us the inside scoop on one couples shopping list. As an added bonus, we also have their wedding so you can see exactly how everything came together.
From Diana
Flatware: When Amanda and Mike first visited our showroom they fell head over heels in love with our flatware. With thousands of pieces to choose from, we were able to put together a mix of sterling silver, wooden and bone pieces to create the mismatched, rustic feel they were going for. The mix of these pieces perfectly accented their macrame napkin rings which were the most amazing bohemian touch!
Precious Metals: Our precious metals collection is comprised of silver, brass and pewter goblets/vessels. For their florals, Amanda and Mike wanted to keep to a bohemian-desert flower scheme.They used various pieces from this collection to house a variety of succulents in all shapes and sizes.
Ceramics and Vintage Bottles: Amanda and Mike chose their favorite pieces from our ceramics and vintage bottle collections to incorporate blooms that would accent, but not overpower, the exotic succulents. They chose to use roughly 25 pieces per table. Just enough to make a statement, but not too many that it would compromise the natural and laid-back look they were going for.
Rugs/Runners: Amanda and Mike have an eclectic style all their own and walking down a typical wedding aisle was just not representative of this uniquely creative couple. They chose to combine runners that would cover the length of the aisle and a rug to stand on as Amanda's father married them under a beautiful chandelier. The rugs that they chose are some of my personal favorites. The amber runner highlighted the warm, bright colors of Amanda's bouquet and our Smogshoppe-approved candle votives lined the aisle for an even more romantic feel.
Couldn't be a cooler couple. Amanda is a bohemian Pocahontas and Mike's this rad clothing designer with his own line called Beta Unit. He just so happens to be wearing one of his custom suits he designed himself. They picked up the the perfect accents from to compliment The Smog Shoppe's already stylish decor. Achieving the perfect 70's chic vibe look and feel. To see the entire wedding captured by Trine Bell be sure to visit the entire gallery.

The Amapô Fall/Winter 2016 collection was unveiled at São Paulo Fashion Week earlier this month and is an homage to the history of Halloween fashion. Cobwebs, skulls and fake blood may be synonymous with October 31st but are also highlighted in this memorable runway presentation.
While the collection's transparent knits are netted to resemble cobweb decorations, its white shirts and black coats are covered in a fake blood splatter print, an eccentric but eye-catching choice.
Furthermore, this runway presentation also highlights skull-printed jeans and sculptural shoulder accents that adorn its more conceptual pieces. Elevating its Halloween fashion inspiration, Amapô celebrates the spooky season with costume-themed styles that are blended with subtle biker and glam rock touches -- synonymous with the psychedelic 70s.

"In America, we are entitled to "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness." There is no such expression in France. In fact, in France, the equivalent expression is la recherche du bonheur (looking for happiness).
On the surface, this might seem as if I am splitting hairs, but if you really examine the idea of "looking" for happiness as opposed to "pursuing" happiness, you'll see there's actually a big difference.
If we're looking for something, it feels as if it's there hiding in plain sight. And all we have to do is be patient and when the room is quiet, quickly lift up the tablecloth and voilà! There it is! Happiness! On the other hand, pursuing implies a kind of chasing after something. 'Looking for happiness' seems gentler.
There is happiness and we just need to look."
― Jamie Cat Callan (Bonjour, Happiness!)

Q: Game saves?
Did you accidentally delete your saved game in Sailor Moon RPG? Do you want to skip certain parts of the game? Do you want to search for specific game sprites to capture? Whatever the case may be, these game saves are here to save the day. ^_^
Q: What are these?
Each save is an *.srm file (compatible with any SNES emulator). Each *.srm file contains two saved games (a save in each slot).
More info within
Contained in these zip archives are text files containing a detailed description about each save. This description lists the save's location, current status of the plot, current character levels, current equipment, current inventory, and current GP.
Oh, I wasn't the one who obtained these saves. Each and every game save and the information in each zip archive is all thanks to the one known as "OhNoMelon" from my forum.
I have step-by-step directions in my Game Saves Tutorial.

This photograph was taken 23rd June in Karakol village at a friend's wedding. Altai wedding rituals are fascinating. This photograph illustrates just one part of a single ritual in which the bride is accompanied from a relative's house to the ail of the bridegroom's parents. Whilst transitioning from one home to another she is particularly vulnerable and so is protected from dark spirits by a white sheet, tied to two birch branches and carried by relatives for her to walk behind unseen. Here, the bride sits in the ail of her parents in law waiting for the sheet to be raised by the bridegroom's uncle. I wonder what she must feel at this moment as the rays of light greet her at the beginning of a new journey. I thought it might inspire anyone about to undertake a distant journey this summer with hope, anticipation and resolve.
In the Light Looking Forward With Hope & Resolve

CEM Systems, part of Tyco Security Products, announced its security management system has been selected by Tyco China Security to secure the offices of a chemical plant in Shanghai, China. The chemical company employs more than 100,000 people and manufactures chemicals and plastics for the construction industry and agriculture as well as undertaking exploration in Europe for oil and gas. To manage and control access control and security at the Shanghai site, the client required a fully integrated security solution that would restrict access at all times as well as enhance operations and increase the efficiency of the site. "The security system has been installed at sites where security matters, particularly security conscious chemical plants", said Andrew Fulton. CEM provides module used in emergency situations where card holders must congregate in a dedicated 'safe' location. The application can be used both in the evacuation of card holders to a location away from the site (or zone) or when necessary it can be used to enable card holder's to move to a particular safe location within the premises. Administrators at the plant will also utilize the visual imaging pass production system (VIPPS) to design and print their own ID badges for staff, contractors and visitors. In addition, CEM alarm event display (AED) application will also provide a central alarm monitoring representation of the entire system. AED responds to all situations in real time and provides a dynamic on-screen view of alarms, readers and associated live video footage. This means that if a door was forced and an alarm triggered, security guards are able to respond to alarms immediately and accurately. "Security at the Shanghai site is of critical importance. We opted for the system as it is a proven product that we have installed at many security conscious sites in China," said Raymond Wan, Director of Commercial Solution, Tyco China Security. "We will install CEM controllers at security points throughout the plant, which will control entry/exit access and integrate the system with digital video system to provide one central monitoring platform" Wan said. CEM controllers give full off-line validation and decision making at the door, even if communication with the server is not available. This will help ensure 24/7 operation of security doors at the plant, even in the unforeseen event of communication problems.

We weren't quite sure what we would be doing for Christmas this year, and so our decorations went into storage along with most of our belongings. As it turns out, we will be spending Christmas eve on a plane, in an airport, and then in a car midst the holiday traffic, so decorations in storage isn't such a bad thing. Except, it does feel strange not having any decorations at all in the build up to Christmas, and it seems kind of silly going out and getting new ones. But making our own? Now that is a good idea!
So this is where we started. Bridie calls them 'the spinners' because she likes spinning them around. I call them about the prettiest things we have made with the scallop punches, and a great way to make use of the 'tricky bits' of the pretties kits (those whole beads, and the hat pins)!
And once again, oh so simple to make! For these ones I have used some paper from the Baja Breeze patterns pack. All you need to do is punch out some shapes (I have used the scallop circle and the scallop square but you could probably use any shape), fold them in half, and then glue them together until they loop around and join up.
Because the paper is double sided, I made the most of it by alternating the two patterns. The circle ornament was made using 10 punched circles, while the square used 8. You could use more or less as you prefer. For these ones I threaded a couple of beads on a hat pin, put the hat pin through the gap at the centre of the ornament, where all those folded edges meet, and then added a couple more beads at the bottom to finish it off. The hat pins have a 'clutch' at one end to secure everything in place, and a hook at the other end to hang the ornament. Best of all, if you want to, when you have finished with the ornament you could always take it apart and reuse the beads and hat pin for another project. If you prefer to make them more permanent you might want to add a drop of crystals effects when you attach the clutch, to prevent it being removed.
Better than a bought one, that is for sure!

According to Tattoo Temple, excellent tattoo shops in Chicago and anywhere else in the world have 11 characteristics clients need to look for before choosing the right one for their needs. These 11 characteristics include cleanliness, proper equipment care, licensing and the diversity and competency of the artist's portfolio.
According to Chicago Reader, one of the best tattoo shops in Chicago is Deluxe Tattoo. The shop's official website reports that the artists who work at Deluxe have years of experience and detailed portfolios on display.
To determine whether a tattoo shop is high quality, a client must take a look around the shop to ensure everything is clean and tidy. All of the artists should have taken a course about bloodborne pathogens, and the furniture in the shop should have a protective barrier that is changed between every client.
The ink the artist uses needs to be poured into individual cups and thrown away when the artist is finished. Artists should open and discard needles in front of clients. Quality tattoo artists communicate with clients to help them feel comfortable and do not push boundaries. Most quality tattoo shops charge about the same rate for tattoos as competitors, so clients need to be suspicious of artists who charge significantly less for their work. Excellent tattoo artists also give clients a list of aftercare techniques, notes Tattoo Temple.

Legendary Black and White Film: Ilford XP2 4005 14 Share Tweet
Ilford is the well known black and white film. Most professional photographers use it as their bullet for black and white photography. Since Ilford XP2 was invented in 1991 (the year that I was born!) it gives a new soul to black and white photography because it only uses C41 chemical to process!
I have been a film user since 2009, but before this, I used to be a digital guy! Honestly, I don't shoot much black and white since I found it difficult to develop in my place especially the one that need traditional way to develop. But last year, my friend told me there is a B&W film that uses C41 chemical to develop and he gave me a legendary brand of black and white film, the Ilford XP2 400. It was an expired film and for sure it is good for Lomographers who are hungry for black and white photos!
To me, this film is very great! Even if the ISO is 400, the grain is so much fine. The picture above was from my first roll of Ilford XP2 400. It gave a nice sepia tone as it pleased my eyes.
One of my favorite subjects are kids! The film works perfect to capture those wondrous moments! Maybe I should show them their photographs 10 years later so that they can remember and tell me, "What kind of film did you use to snap our pictures?" Haha.
Let's talk about street shooting! Black and white show more soul and feeling compared to color images. So, I decided to use this god-made film: Ilford XP2 400 as my bullet!
I loaded it in my lovely Russian rangefinder FED 5B. No doubt, Ilford is what I call god-made film! Nothing can be compared to it! Whether in outdoors or indoors, results are always pleasant! Here are some of my collections:
References from Ilford here, and here
As a film lover, you should try this film before it's gone!

Amazon | Barnes & Noble | GoodReads
~ About the Author ~
Kerry Nietz is a refugee of the software industry. He spent more than a decade of his life flipping bits, first as one of the principal developers of the database product FoxPro for the now mythical Fox Software, and then as one of Bill Gates's minions at Microsoft. He is a husband, a father, a technophile and a movie buff. He has one non-fiction book, a memoir entitled FoxTales: Behind the Scenes at Fox Software. Amish Vampires in Space is his fifth novel.
~Guest Post~
"Eucatastrophe" is a term coined by J.R.R. Tolkien to mean "a dramatic event that results in the protagonist's well-being." Now, I don't know if I can claim that anything that has happened regarding Amish Vampires in Space rises to the level of Gandalf and the Riders of Rohan charging in to rescue Helm's Deep, but there have certainly been moments that have seemed eucatastrophic in nature.
Amish Vampires in Space (AViS) originally released in October of 2013 from Marcher Lord Press. However, in December of 2013 I got word that the owner of Marcher Lord was selling the company. The catch there for me was that while the new owner wanted to retain the rights to my other four novels, he didn't want to keep the rights to AViS.
Why, you ask? Well, the reasons are mostly his own. I can say that it wasn't because he thought the book was poorly written. He hadn't read it! The only reason I got was: "To actually incarnate a punchline isn't something I would've done."
The move came as a shock to me, of course, because sales were good, the early reviews were great, and the buzz for my genre mashup was outstanding. It had been mentioned twice in Publishers Weekly, twice by Library Journal, given a nod on Dave Barry's blog, and was the subject of an article in the Washington Post.
So at Christmastime, I was left with this dilemma: I had a book that I'd spent most of a year writing and promoting. The talk and sales were still good, but it was soon to be without a publisher. The end result? The previous owner and I scrambled through the holidays to get AViS to the point where I could sell it
independently. Thankfully, I already had accounts with all the major eBook providers and CreateSpace, so the process took less than a month. And the book remained available the entire time.
Skip ahead a couple months to March of 2014. By then the buzz and sales had leveled off, and I was beginning to think the ride was over. A friend of mine, Dawn Shelton (who is an excellent proofer) had read the book and found a handful of typos. Since sales were now a trickle, it seemed the perfect time to incorporate her changes. With the eBooks, that process was almost instantaneous. I fixed the files and uploaded them and they went live as soon as they were approved. The book was always available.
Such was not the case with the print book. As is CreateSpace's procedure, the moment I uploaded a new interior file, the book went out-of-print on Amazon pending approval of the new version. And while the changes to AViS were trivial, there are some graphic elements in the book that always send up red flags for their reviewers. Also, the approval process only happened in the middle of the night. So every time they flagged a problem, I'd have to call support, who would attach a note, and then I'd have to wait until the next morning to see if it finally was approved. It took most of a week to get the interior finally approved. On Tuesday, March 11th, AViS was available for sale again. That very night Amish Vampires in Space was mentioned by Jimmy Fallon on the Tonight Show. The buzz, and consequently, sales, exploded all over again.
A eucatastrophe? I think even Tolkien would think so.
~ Excerpt ~
Jebediah had a secret.
It was a weight, really. Something the songs of church service couldn't lighten. Even daily prayers and scripture reading were no help. It was always present. Always hidden.
"It is Gelassenheit," his father had said. "Surrendering yourself for others."
So Jeb bore the weight. It was God's will. Like Abraham tying Isaac to the altar. We hold the knife with the faith that God will stop us from using it.
With a groan, Jebediah pushed his way out of bed. Beside him, Sarah sighed and rolled his direction. Even with the passage of decades, she still appeared as beautiful to him as when they married. A day twenty years ago now. Her in a simple white dress and kapp. He in his best black suit. Family and friends, similarly attired. A simpler time. A happier time. An early spring.
Before the secret had passed to him.
"Is it morning so soon?" she whispered.
Jeb smiled. "Ya, it is."
She made to get out of bed, but Jeb frowned and held out a hand. "Stay in," he said. "At forty, you've earned a few more minutes."
She put the back of her hand over her mouth and yawned. "So much to do today. The Troyers need breakfast. And Eli will need help with that baby. And the garden."
Jeb glanced out the bedroom window. The sun had not yet begun to rise. And neither moon. Only a few distant stars and the mass of what was commonly called the Morning Nebbit.
Still very dark. That was a comfort, at least.

Will have it sorted shortly, please do not be put off…

I think you just made the day of a certain most-unpopular-girl-in-the world. For a second there, she felt less hated.
Speaking of most "Most Unpopular Girl in the World", I think I actually held that title in the 4th grade (at least, that's what my classmates told me).

Sometimes a white lie or two can help a user test along. I've long advocated a couple of these when running user testing training. I now have a few more candidates to add to the list.
This isn't really about lying, of course. It's about maintaining your participants' self esteem and making the most of the time you have with them.
Author Lisa Duddington also looks behind the lines she's feeding you - why and when they can be useful and also highlights the psychological research ethics to always bear in mind.

In Danbury, hundreds walk, run for Sandy Hook educators
DANBURY -- What started as an idea at a Rogers Park Middle School lunch table in December blossomed into a community event that rocked the city Saturday.
Spring Forward 4 Sandy Hook, a 5K run/walk, Saturday was organized by Rogers Park faculty and staff to foster hope and healing for the Sandy Hook Elementary School community. The event drew more than 1,200 participants and raised money for memorial scholarships in honor of slain Sandy Hook principal Dawn Hochsprung and teacher Lauren Rousseau.
"We were sitting at the lunch table after Dec. 14 and reflecting on the whole thing," said Rogers Park teacher Jen Powers. "The result of that talk, this turnout, is fantastic."
The entire Danbury schools community became involved in planning the event. Students from each of the city's 28 schools joined in.
Hochsprung had served as assistant principal at Rogers Park Middle School prior to her work in Sandy Hook. Her husband, George Hochsprung, was a longtime teacher at the school, retiring after his wife's death. "There are so few words to express my feeling for the people who have done so much," a teary-eyed George Hochsprung said. "It all comes from the heart."
Lauren Rousseau also had a history at Rogers Park, having been a student teacher there prior to receiving her teaching degree. "It's very heart-warming and comforting to see this many people turn out to continue the kindness and support that has followed the terrible event at Sandy Hook," said Lauren's mother, Terri Rousseau, a copy editor at The News-Times.
Along the 5K route down Danbury's Main Street were 26 inspirational stations with sayings and artwork created by students. The inscription on the first banner read, " `Be nice to each other. It's really all that matters.' Dawn Hochsprung."
George Hochsprung stopped his walk to shake the hand of eighth-grader Ben Gillotti, who held one side of the banner.
Eileen Cullen, from Sandy Hook, found that particular banner to be the most moving of the 26. "Dawn's quote did it for me," Cullen said as she stopped momentarily in her run. "It's in my head. All the banners were really personal and made the day very personal. But Dawn said it all, `Be nice to each other.' "
The day was warm and sunny with a gentle breeze. Children's voices chirped amid the walkers. Green and white balloons floated above heads. The mood was convivial, warm and inviting like
the day itself.
"We know we can't really know what it is like to live through and move on from that horrible day, but we want them to know they do not move on alone," said Rogers Park teacher Amy Twitchell.
A thought repeated time and again by those walking and running Saturday was that Hochsprung and Rousseau were committed to building a whole person, to helping their students grow to be the best people possible.
Newtown mom Lucy Kortze may have summed up their message best when she explained Hochsprung's inspirational quote to her young son, Aiden.
"That was the principal of Sandy Hook's saying, `Be nice to each other,' " she told her 7-year-old son as they walked. "That's what matters. That's what I always tell you, right? Be good to everyone."

Bah, so I'm sorry for not posting. As always, I'm up to my neck with work. I had a NEACURH conference last weekend, and this coming weekend is the District Convention for NYCKI (all these acronyms!). It's been a lot of organizing and planning and last minute work, so I really apologize for not being able to post as often and as long as I'd want to.
Also, I'm wearing glasses! I don't have any contacts left (I'm getting them shipped up to me), so I've been roaming around with glasses, which has been very odd for me. I'll try to take a picture or two when I remember.
Ahh. So something to blog about… *tries to think about something that's been bothering her lately*
I've been really running a blank about thinks to complain about (economics, politics, women and bad hair are consistently on that list). If anyone has any new ideas, feel free to tell me ( ;D ). This post will act as my Sunday post.
Currently Listening: Love Song (Sara Bareilles)
Currently Watching: Dollhouse
Currently Playing: Trauma Center
Currently Drinking: Pepsi Cherry
Current Mood: CKI-mode (aka, stressed)
I've been taking a look at myself recently (I know a lot of people have been in that self-reflective state), and wondering what it is that has made me the way I am. And not the good aspects, or the bad ones, just… me being myself, I suppose.
Within this self-reflection, I realized that one of the big reasons why I feel such an urge to do community service, especially with kids, is because I've always felt that I've lacked some kind of childhood. A good one, anyway. I always had to take care of the home, take care of my brother, and take care of living to the point where I had become an adult at some obscenely young age. I guess it's personally upsetting to think that other kids have to live the same way I did.
It sucks to know that kids are growing up faster and faster each day, and sometimes not in the right way. There are far too many kids with parents who are either too strict or too lenient. The ones who are too lenient are scared about becoming strict because their child would grow away from them. The ones who are too strict are scared that their child is going to stick their toe out of the god damned line.
Perhaps it was a good thing that I grew up too fast. I knew the ways of right and wrong by learning them myself.
But anyway, the immaturity of teenagers, students, kids (whatever you call them) is not due to parents being too strict, or too loose. They're simply just WRONG about taking care of kids. They're scared that the child is going to be "molded" the wrong way. That's not to say that I think I'm an expert on taking care of kids. Far from it. I just think there are a lot of things that parents, mine included, do wrong. Then they blame the school, or the surroundings, when in fact, it is their inability to listen to their child's need and inability to see their child as a person (rather than as their child).
Your child is not an extension of yourself.
Yes, your child is your family. Your flesh and blood, and you are his/her caretaker. But the child is not you. By pushing your desires onto your child, you're not teaching him/her. You're choking your child. You're essentially forcing yourself upon your child (mind rape?).
The children who are products of bad parenting can be easily categorized. Here are some examples (there are mixtures of them):
The Brat – Sweet 16-type kids who are spoiled beyond belief and think they can have everything their way
The Rebel – Kids who decide to completely stray away from their parents and do things because their parents don't want them to.
The Closet Case – Kids who are socially isolated from society and will not know how to deal with "going out into the world" (I always think of college students who can't do laundry)
The Clinger – Daddy's Little Girl or Mama's Boy -type. I separated them from Closet Cases because I think of Clingers as not "socially unaware," just clingy.
The Dream – Children who are forced into an occupation (singer, lawyer, doctor) because that was their parent's aspirations.
And beyond just being categorized, there are simply tons of problems with bad parenting, and they go from one end of the spectrum to the other. For example, a child may be so angry with her parents that she will choose to never speak to her parents. In that situation, family bonds are completely severed. On the other end, there could be a child that is so dependent on his parents that he'll be living with them till he's 35… and then some.
One of the bigger reasons why I complain about the parenting and not the child himself/herself is because not all bad parenting results in bad children. I know plenty of beaten and abused kids who turn out to be wonderful people, and plenty of spoiled kids who are aware of how spoiled they are and appreciate how their parents love them (AND learn to take responsibilities in other fields, like in extracurricular activities). But I also know that all these kids could have turned out terribly were it not for good friends, a good environment in school, or plain luck. Besides, it is the parent that worries about parenting at the age of 12, not the child.
I'm no parent, but at least I know some rights and wrongs of taking care of children simply by being around kids, and parents and mixes of both.
And, off topic, I don't intend on being a parent for many a year.
For a topic like this, I feel like I can't rant without giving some solutions to how you can avoid bad parenting (although I doubt any of you readers are parents anyway! *haha*):
– Don't judge your child based off what he or she does. Just because your child got a 65 on his exam doesn't mean he's a bad or rebellious student, and that you should beat him.
– Learn to say no. The kid has to learn that there are some things he or she simply cannot have.
– Teach responsibility. Have the child take care of chores (or a pet) and give them good and bad consequences for responsibility (or lack of).
– Balance work and play. Your child is not a robot who can work on dance steps, vocals and math all the time.
– Don't feel bad taking away things. This goes along with the "Learn to say no" and "Balance work and play."
– Punish bad behavior. The whole fucking world is obsessed with "Award good behavior" and all that stuff, but people neglect punishing kids for bad behavior. It's the forever-forgotten other side.
– Listen. This applies more and more as your child grows. A child does not simply mature in body (breasts, periods, deeper voices), but in mind. It is important to let that child develop his or her own ideas.
I mean there are tons more, and there are tons of (badly written) books on parenting. One of my biggest suggestions is to take a look at your childhood, and how you've grown, then reflect on what you took away from such a childhood.
And, for all you college students, DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT GETTING PREGNANT. ;D

Here you will find audio material produced by the Boys Keep Singing project. Most of this illustrates different aspects of adolescent voice change.
The first two items were recorded by a specially convened choir of boys from the National Youth Choirs of Great Britain and were used as background music for the films. Here you can listen to them in complete, uniterrupted form.
You'll Never Walk Alone
Swing Low
Treble and Cambiata
Here you can listen to two different versions of Sting's Fields of Gold. The first is sung by unchanged voices in the key of B flat. The lowest note is therefore Bb3, a semitone above the normally quoted A3 for the bottom of "treble" range.
The second is sung by cambiata voices in the key of F. This key was chosen by finding the note three semitones below the mean speaking pitch of the three boys. This was F3, a semitone above the quoted range bottom for cambiata II, or a semitone below the range bottom for cambiata I. The tone is still that of pre-mutational climax. This is what cambiata should sound like.
The well known Gospel medley
Listen to these two versions of the well-known Gospel medley. The first is sung by changed and unchanged voices an octave apart. The key is F major which means that both parts have to cross the C to E passagio at their respective pitches. This is not comfortable singing for changing voices.
If you are working with changing voices, you must transpose. The second version is in Bb, giving a range of F3 – G4 (extreme). This fits the voices much better. The singing is more relaxed and comfortable.

Great recipes, healthy peanut butter snacks, and the facts about peanut butters true health benefits revealed
January 24th is National Peanut Butter Day and in honor of this all important holiday I've decided to round up the healthiest ways to enjoy peanut butter (sometimes accompanied by chocolate, sometimes not) for all the PB lovers out there—and I know there are tons of you!
According to Yahoo! Clues 68 percent of "peanut butter" searches come from women so I know our Fit Foodies are out there searching for great peanut butter recipes. And if you live in California, Texas, New York, Florida, or Illinois you're even more likely to be searching for "peanut butter." Personally, as a young woman living in New York City, I've been doing my part searching the web for the best-tasting yet diet-friendly ways to enjoy it.
We all know peanut butter is packed with protein, about 7 grams per two tablespoons, but what are the other health benefits? Peanut butter's fat is primarily the good, monounsaturated kind. It also contains niacin, vitamin E, calcium, potassium, and iron. But if you're like me, putting the peanut butter jar down after just two tablespoons can be the hardest part of enjoying the tasty treat. That's why I rounded up these creative, healthy, and often pre-portioned ways to enjoy the nutritional powerhouse without fear.
Read on to see the top 10 healthy ways to enjoy peanut butter. I personally tested each one so I know they're good!
What are your favorite ways to enjoy peanut butter? I have a lot on hand after testing all these PB products for this story. I welcome any and all suggestions in the comments below or via twitter @Shape_Magazine.
PS I'm eating a Zone Perfect Peanut Butter Cookie Dough as I write this—shockingly good!

Charles Hart, (died August 1683, Stanmore, Middlesex, Eng.), English actor, probably the son of the actor William Hart, nephew of William Shakespeare.
Hart is first heard of as playing women's parts at Blackfriars Theatre, London, as an apprentice. During the Commonwealth he played surreptitiously at the Cockpit, Holland House, and other noblemen's residences. After the Restoration he appeared on the reopened public stage and in 1663 went to the Theatre Royal in Thomas Killigrew's company, with which he remained until 1682, taking leading parts in plays by John Dryden, Ben Jonson, and Francis Beaumont and John Fletcher. He is highly spoken of by contemporaries in such Shakespearean parts as Othello and Brutus. He is often mentioned by Samuel Pepys. Thomas Betterton praised him and would not himself play the part of Hotspur until after Hart's retirement. Hart is said to have been the first lover of Nell Gwyn and to have trained her for the stage.
