This print was hand printed and pulled from a woodblock that I then turned into a bottle opener. The gradient in this one was so much fun to print!
All my prints are hand designed, hand carved, and hand pressed. Colors may be slightly different than what you see on your computer screen. All prints are signed and numbered in the edition. If you prefer a specific number of the edition, please message me to see if it is still available. Prints are shipped in a protective archival quality bag inside a rigid mailer to ensure a safe arrival.
You may be asking yourself why these prints are so affordable, when they are hand printed original work. Well I recently thought of the "small edition, small print" idea. I want to create prints that are dynamic and fun, but are also more affordable for me to make and for you as the buyer to purchase. I have had so much fun making these and look forward to creating many small runs of prints in the future. I hope that these can fill that art need so many of us have, but so few of us can afford.

Mug Rug # 1 picture
I finally got done with this mug rug at 2am. I was really pushing the limit there since they have to be mailed out today. The second mug rug is also done, and I will do a separate post for that one. This one took more time than the 2nd one, because I hand quilted it, hand pieced it, and hand appliqued it. I cannot help the insanity. I just figured that I would make something that I would love to have myself. The person who I made this for is somewhat of an enigma wrapped in a riddle. I have a name and address. She does not have a blog or a flikr account. Her preferences were ''anything''. Whoever you are...THANK YOU! I was able to make something out of pure creativity, while still staying within a guideline of ''what would the average quilter just love''. I couldn't really make a mug rug with a coffee theme, because I didn't know if she liked or hated coffee (are there really coffee haters out there?)...so what do you think of the first one? I hope she loves it!

M Cafe
M Café is a go up to the counter and order your food restaurant consisting of "Contemporary Macrobiotic Cuisine". This means no meat, refined sugars, eggs, dairy, red meat or poultry but they do have fish. Trust me when I first read that I was immediately turned off. That was until I tried it for the first time. The definition of M Café just doesn't do it justice. It turns people off from the amazingness that lies behind their glass doors. Their food is fresh, and most of the time healthy. They have a regular menu that stays constant as well as deli case selections that usually change seasonally as well as having some token items that remain. Today for lunch I got my usual: the scarlet quinoa salad, the soba noodle salad and a side of 2 pieces of a spicy tuna roll. It's an amazing lunch that not only keeps me full but also doesn't wear me out. Most lunch time meals that keep me full also weigh me down. About 2 minutes after I eat something I tend to get exhausted and ready for a nap. Not M café though, anything I eat from their keeps me alive, refreshed and completely satisfied. The Quinoa in particular is so high in protein that it makes great sense as to why it leaves me so full. It's something I've never made before but am starting to think it's a must try, maybe even a switch from our usual brown rice side.
If you have never had it than I have to say you're really missing out and if you are one of the many that have than you know exactly what I'm talking about.

MOSCOW, November 8./TASS/. Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Mikhail Bogdanov and US Ambassador to Russia Jon Huntsman have reaffirmed resolve to continue cooperation on the Syrian settlement, the Russian Foreign Ministry said, adding that the meeting was initiated by the US side.
"The conversation focused on the situation in Syria with an emphasis on prospects for the intra-Syrian negotiations," the ministry said. It said the diplomats reaffirmed resolve "to continue cooperation with an aim to ensure de-escalation of tension in Syria".
Bogdanov, who is also Russian president's special representative for the Middle East and African Affairs, emphasized that the political settlement of the conflict in Syria on the basis of Resolution 2254 of the UN Security Council had no alternative, the ministry said.
The Russian side also "noted the importance of the Astana process, including in terms of contribution to establishing a stable inclusive negotiation process in Geneva under the UN aegis".
Earlier on Wednesday, the US ambassador met with Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Gennady Gatilov to discuss Moscow-Washington interaction at the United Nations for achieving settlements of conflicts in Syria, Ukraine and the North Korean peninsula. The meeting was requested by the US side, the Foreign Ministry said.
"Among the issues discussed were Russia-US interaction at the United Nations with an emphasis on the need for resistance to terrorism and a political settlement of acute conflicts, including those in Syria, in the East of Ukraine and on the Korean Peninsula," the Foreign Ministry said.
The Syrian and North Korean issues will be considered by Russian President Vladimir Putin and his US counterpart Donald Trump at a meeting on the sidelines of the APEC summit in Vietnam. As Russian presidential aide Yuri Ushakov told the media earlier, Putin and Trump would discuss the main international problems from Syria to North Korea and also bilateral relations.

Facebook VP debates anti-hate activist over question of hate speech as free speech at event
The recent arrests in the tragic murders of Stephen Tyrone Jones at the U.S. Holocaust Museum and Dr. George Tiller at his Kansas church uncovered more evidence of how viral hate online incubates, empowers and emboldens violent bigots. With over one and a half billion users (almost one quarter of the world's population), the Internet is the prime means of communication and marketing in the world. The Internet's unprecedented global reach and scope combined with the difficulty in monitoring and tracing communications make it the prime tool for extremists and terrorists. The Simon Wiesenthal Center has been monitoring these developments for over a decade through its Digital Terrorism and Hate Project.
At a Museum of Tolerance event, Rabbi Abraham Cooper, associate dean of the Wiesenthal Center Rick Eaton, the Center's Senior Researcher, along with Elliot Schrage of Facebook and community activist Brian Cuban, grappled with the findings of the Center's new Facebook, YouTube +: How Social Media Outlets Impact Digital Terrorism and Hate. The findings of the report, based on some 10,000 problematic websites, blogs and other Internet postings was presented before a group of law enforcement recruits and inner city high school students which illustrated that as the Internet continues to grow, extremists have kept apace in leveraging the dynamic new social networking services to find validation for their hateful agendas and seek recruits for their causes. Sites such as Facebook® and YouTube® have both seen a huge proliferation of extremist use with the greatest increase coming from overseas, particularly Europe and the Middle East.
The CD-ROM report, released annually, is designed to assist law enforcement, public officials, educators, parents and the news media to better grasp the scope of hate. The report is used by the FBI, Homeland Security, military officials, hate crime units and joint terrorism taskforces in the U.S. as well as Canada and Europe (a PDF of the presentation which also includes a section about how Twitter is emerging as a new tool for extremists can be downloaded here.)
Cooper demonstrated the impact the Internet had on James Von Brunn, the Holocaust Museum shooter and Scott Roeder, the Topeka gunman, kept on the Internet and how easily and quickly it is to find like-minded individuals worldwide. "Many of these extremists find empowerment and validation of conspiracy theories in the cocoon of a subculture of hatred, without fear of those who could successfully debate or challenge their views," Cooper said.
This idea was echoed by guest Brian Cuban, a Dallas attorney who led an effort to get Facebook to remove Holocaust denial groups from its site, warning that such groups are a recruiting ground for anti-Semites. Cuban expressed his frustration at the social networking giant's original contention that Holocaust denial, as ugly as it is, is not hate speech. "Holocaust denial is nothing but a pretext disguised as a totally discredited historical theory to bring people together and congregate who hate Jews," he said. Cuban added a collective of Holocaust deniers are in fact a hate group who engage in hate speech that often lead to tragedies such as the Holocaust Museum shooting. "Hate propagates hate," he said.
Elliot Schrage, the Vice President of Global Communications, Marketing, and Public Policy for Facebook, articulated his ambivalence about the briefing because, in effect, he was being asked to represent the Internet. "The Internet is filled with some of the most vile, most embarrassing things," he said, "but that none of it is on Facebook. Facebook prohibits direct threats of violence as part of its Terms of Service and has kicked out problematic groups." "However," Schrage said, "the concept of Facebook is to be a place for an open exchange of ideas and as vile as it is, Holocaust denial is an idea. Until such sites turn from an exchange of ideas to direct threats of violence against Jews, they'll remain in." He enlisted the Facebook community's help to call attention to these violations.
Attending the briefing were students from the New Tech Empowerment Academy in Los Angeles and recruits from the Napa Valley Criminal Justice Center. "Their presence was crucial," said Rabbi Cooper, "because 'young people today are right on the frontlines' in helping to stem the growth of digital hate. He urged young people who find hate or terrorist postings online to share with Wiesenthal Center experts by sending the links to firstname.lastname@example.com
The Simon Wiesenthal Center is one of the largest international Jewish human rights organizations with over 400,000 member families in the United States. It is an NGO at international agencies including the United Nations, UNESCO, the OSCE, the OAS, the Council of Europe and the Latin American Parliament (Parlatino).

text: A multidisciplinary team at Purdue University is developing a method for detecting harmful bacteria using a silicon wafer coated with proteins. The researchers hope that the work will lead to a rapid, cheap, disposable means of testing everything from food to medical samples. "Our goal is to use electronic detection, which is amenable to the production of portable, handheld devices to be eventually used in the field," explained Rashid Bashir, an assistant professor of electrical and computer engineering at the university. Scientists have long used proteins that selectively bind to the cell walls of specific bacteria. These proteins have been combined with fluorescent dyes to create the fluorescent labels that are crucial to microbiology. The Purdue group has coupled this technology with circuit design for conventional microprocessors. Using photolithography techniques from the semiconductor industry, the researchers create electrodes and their corresponding circuits on a silicon wafer. Proteins are then adsorbed on the electrodes, Bashir said. By monitoring the interfacial capacitance of the electrodes, the group hopes to detect any bacteria that have been bound by the proteins. Team member Michael Ladisch, a professor of agricultural, biological and biomedical engineering, said the group plans to make the device small so only a few drops of a sample will be needed. A sample under test will be presented to the chip on a swab or through a pipette. In proof-of-concept experiments, the researchers attached the protein avidin to the chip and watched fluorescently labeled biotin molecules bind to it. Bashir said they are developing cost estimates for the mass production of the chips and are preparing a device that will test food for Listeria monocytogenes. Such a test should produce results in minutes, rather than the days typically taken to culture bacteria for conventional laboratory analysis.

NOTE: NationalChamps.net is not a gambling site. We
do not encourage the use of any such practice by any
organization or individual(s) as set forth by NCAA rules.
"Picks of The Week" are strictly for recreational
purposes in an effort to test our knowledge.
31, 2003
Why let all the experts make fools of themselves, we
think Dave Hershorin can do it just as well.
Here are NationalChamps.net's Editor's Picks
of the Week.
+4 over Michigan State
Utah +3 over Air Force
Ohio State -7.5 over Penn State
Kansas +11 over Texas A&M
UCLA -6.5 over Stanford
And regardless
of the spread, look for Oklahoma to make the third try their
charm at Memorial Stadium in Norman. State just doesn't have
the matchup anomaly they have had the past two seasons when
they beat their bigger Sooner brethren. Oklahoma has the best
passing game in the country efficiency-wise, which is the
dimension they have always lacked that makes this game a gimme
for OU. And the defense, oh that quick, experienced defense.
The Sooners come in ranked fourth for pass defense, which
was a 25th-ranked element just a year ago. This, too, will
be a decisive factor as OSU's Woods will be a not be a pivotal
factor in this game's outcome. No pick as to the spread, but
look for something like 41-20 or 35-10...the game will never
be out of OU's hands.

a happy new year to all of you! i can't believe it's been already half a year since i've gotten this going, and i must say it's been quite a ride. one of the challenges (apart from keeping up to the regular updates) was really writing about songs rather than about albums as i'm more used to. it's forced me to take things as they are, and sometimes not be too serious about whether everything fits in a coherent whole, since songs sometimes work best just on their own. but i also did promise you i'd write about the albums i enjoyed in 2008, so i've set aside the first two weeks of this new year to looking at some of these albums (in no particular order, of course).
steinski – what does it all mean? 1983-2006 retrospective (illegal art)
i was so glad this finally came out. because of copyright issues, the works of steinski and double dee – pioneers in their own right in the emergent cut-and-paste ethic in hip hop sampling – were never officially released, except in limited promo releases. their influence, however, has been tremendous, heavily sampled by prince paul and de la soul (i must admit, though, the first time i heard the "what does it all mean" sample was in de la soul's "the magic number"), and setting the framework for 90's turntablists like dj shadow and cut chemist, who've both recorded tribute "lessons" in the vein of the "lessons" mixes steinski and double dee started off doing. more recently, cut-and-paste mavericks like the avalanches have pushed this envelop even further (take a listen to "frontier psychiatrist", for example), while label-mate girl talk's mind-boggling mash-ups have definitely benefited from the duo's initial groundwork. with the release of this long-overdue retrospective, proper recognition is finally given to the ones who started it all.

'Shopping is GREAT' party at the British Embassy Santiago
A catwalk in the garden played host to a fashion show with models showing off the latest styles of some of the exhibiting companies.
On Tuesday 26 March the British Embassy in Santiago hosted a stylish party to celebrate the latest stream of the GREAT campaign – 'Shopping is GREAT'. British Ambassador Jon Benjamin hosted the party at his Residence to highlight the diversity, innovation and creativity of many of the British brands available in Chile.
Guests arrived to a dazzling display of British automotive excellence with cars from Jaguar, Landrover, Aston Martin, Mini, and the newest British marque to arrive in Chile, Rolls Royce. Meanwhile the gardens and terrace of the Residence were the site of a stylish display of retail brands including: Loake shoes; Santiago's Accent boutique which stocks exclusive UK brands; Top Shop and Top Man; Twinings tea; Mini design; Johnny Walker Black and Gold label whisky; Laura Ashley home; Whittards Tea; Mama's and Papa's; Lush cosmetics; Warehouse; Pepe Jeans; Mothercare; Whyte and MacKay Whisky; and Tanqueray gin. A catwalk which cut the garden in two then played host to a fashion show with models showing off the latest styles of some of the exhibiting companies before live music from the Chilean performer Mocca kept the party going.
The event aimed to highlight some of the British brands available in Chile, a dynamic retail market which was rated second in a study of 30 developing retail markets by A T Kearney's Global Retail Development Index. Chile's growing middle class and healthy economy has meant that a growing number of UK brands have arrived in Chile in recent years, a trend which is expected to continue. In addition to helping the UK economy and giving more options to Chilean consumers, the brands also help to spread awareness of the UK overseas.
Jon Benjamin said in a speech to the 400 guests:
Many of the brands present here this evening represent the rare blend of characteristics for which the UK is well-known – a mix of the modern with the classic, creativity and innovation with an appreciation of our heritage and culture.

The optimal marketing of pharmaceutical products on a global basis is becoming increasingly important to drug companies financially and more challenging to them strategically. This paper will examine, from the perspective of a global pharmaceutical marketing researcher, the 'best practices' for developing a promotional approach that will be coherent across all countries and audiences, while also having maximum impact at the local level.
Historically, approaches to global optimisation have fallen at the two ends of a centralisation/decentralisation spectrum. Those pharmaceutical companies taking a centralised approach would typically develop a 'Branding' in the USA, where 60-70 per cent of most pharmaceutical markets are found and then simply translate the promotional materials into other languages for launch in other countries.
At the decentralised end of the spectrum, pharmaceutical companies allowed each of their 'in-country' operating units to develop virtually the entire promotional platform for the product, without any coordination with their sister companies in other countries.
Having pursued both of these extremes, pharmaceutical companies have come to recognise that a totally centralised approach is inadequate to deal with the significant regulatory, reimbursement and cultural differences that are to be found across countries, while the totally decentralised approach has been found to be inefficient and, in a world increasingly globalised via channels ranging from Key Opinion Leaders to the internet, unacceptably disorganised. A 'happy compromise' has thus been reached, wherein most pharmaceutical companies develop a promotional 'manual' for a product, which includes key promotional points to which local companies are expected to adhere, while allowing local companies freedom as to tactical implementation at the local level.
But how does one do this on a rigourous basis and in such a way as to ensure that both efficiency and flexibility are optimised? The answer, discovered in work with major global pharmaceutical companies, is...

Challenge to use a sketch - Cyprus
12 comments:
- Amy said...
You've put these together really well Jacky - my first impression of the sketch is that it is busy and yet your layout doesn't feel like that at all!

- Sian said...
I always think I'm pretty hopeless at using sketches, so I always enjoy seeing how well other scrappers can get the best out of one. Like Amy, I like how you have pared this one back a bit and let your pictures get the attention.
I'm also impressed with the cocktail drinking :)

- Becky said...
I like the way you have used the arrows in this sketch :)

I agree with Amy's comment felt it was a far too busy sketch but I love how you have interpreted it.

- Sandra said...
I really like this sketch, I can see my hopefully using it in the future and I'll be using you for inspiration
- 14 June 2014 at 23:59
I tried that sketch too. I was a bit wary of no layers or and clusters and I went a similar pared down route to you. Love your arrows instead of a fishtail banner.

You've done a fabulous job with that sketch. I love the half circle with the question. It gave me a good chuckle!

Great job. I think the size of the background pattern is what makes this layout really work.

Fantastic job with the sketch!! I printed it out & chose photos, but haven't had time to put together my layout yet . . . but I will soon even if I missed the challenge deadline!

Looks great Jacky! I love the idea of drinking cocktails until 1am every night, that's my kind of holiday! I love how you've used Christmas papers, I never would have noticed if you hadn't pointed it out! Thank you for joining in the sketch challenge at Jennifer Grace Creates! x

Your interpretation really develops the foundation of e sketch and your photos (my, that's a happy cocktail intake!) just shine, I like your arrows that pull my eye along the page.

Our sponsor for August is Digistamp4Joy. Our August winner will get to choose four images from theDigistamps4Joy store.
Here is this week's sketch
And here is my card following the sketch using
Vintage Dress 2 Coloured Version by Digistamps4Joy. The illustrator of the image is Jen Leeflang.
I used some gold foil tape and gold and white dotted washi tape to go across the bottom. The butterflies are cut with a Stampin' Up! punch and the big gold flower is by Paper Studio. I've had these gold flowers in my stash for awhile, waiting for the right time to use them! The butterflies, washi tape, and flower helped cover up the glue needed to adhere the vellum to the red paper.
Hope you will come by the Outlawz Sketch Challenge and see what my talented teammates have come up with!
Thanks for dropping in! I love having visitors!

Written by Marc Silver from National Public Radio
It was one of his final live performances. On Jan. 29, 1971, 69-year-old Louis Armstrong walked onto the stage at the National Press Club to accept an award. He'd planned to perform a couple of numbers and was under doctor's orders not to break out his trumpet, but Armstrong couldn't resist putting on a memorable show. He sang in a voice more gravelly than ever, blew his horn and played a few of his classics, starting with his rendition of "Hello Dolly."
Armstrong first recorded "Hello Dolly" on Dec. 4, 1963. According to Laurence Bergreen's biography Louis Armstrong: An Extravagant Life, Armstrong "found the song lifeless and trite." But when his manager heard it, he declared it a hit, and indeed it wound up topping the charts. Armstrong had transformed the song, infusing it with irrepressible spirit and swing, and it was no longer a tune about the titular Dolly. When Armstrong sings, "Dolly will never go away," he's clearly talking about himself, so it's understandable why he decided to sing it at the National Press Club near the end of his life. Armstrong's full performance, released in limited edition on vinyl at the time, has just been reissued under the title Red Beans and Rice-Ly Yours: Satchmo at the National Press Club.
On that January 1971 occasion, Armstrong used "Hello Dolly" to convey his sheer joy at being there — at being alive on that day, in that place, doing what he did best, reaffirming his status as America's greatest jazz man. He plays with the lyric to "Hello Dolly," at times deconstructing words into percussive bursts ("Hello, hello, mighty glad, mighty glad"), and his horn solo adds unexpected runs and extra oomph to the familiar melody.
Armstrong died five months after this performance, but he's never gone away. More than 40 years after his death, his music is, as the words to "Hello Dolly" put it, "still glowin', still crowin', still goin' strong."

Hi. Thank you for the useful sophisticated program. I've been using it personally for over a year.
Every time I set up a reminder, I wish it had fewer steps to get a desktop alert with voice, and with only the [Title] as template, instead of the fixed, annoying "Reminder: [Title], [When]."
I don't see there is a feature to set a default template. So I suggest adding it to the next version.
Also, it would be much better to have a shortcut to, or an option to set as default, adding an alert with voice to every new event.
Linux Support: As so many people like VueMinder, surely those who have a Linux OS will appreciate it if they can soon join the fans.

Maryam Mirzakhani Scholarship for Women | Financial Tribune - Art And Culture
In honor of the late award winning Iranian mathematician at Stanford
University, Maryam Mirzakhani (1977-2017), Persia Educational Foundation, based in London, has established the 'Persia
Mirzakhani Scholarship for Women.'

I can remember the day when I looked up from my fish and realized I started to develop feelings for my friend. I was not sure what to do with them. I tried to rationalize them, then I thought can this even be possible? I waited a few weeks before I let him know. Then of all things I text him. Which makes me laugh. I should have probably told him face to face.
After our short text exchange we decided to go on a date to discuss this change of events. Moving from friendship to romantic definitely needed to be discussed. At this point I had no idea how he felt about me. I knew he was a supportive friend, but could or did his feeling change as mine did. That was the question I ran through my head over and over. Then I would analyze the times we hung out to see if he was giving me any sort of inclination that his feelings had.
By the time our date happened the pressure in my head was about to explode. Not to mention wondering what my children thought. I did not want to mention anything to them until the "adults" had their conversation.
I changed my clothes several times, probably putting too much thought into what I was going to wear. I walked out of my bedroom leaving my clothes strung all over the place and feeling very confident that I looked good.
I waited, peering out the window for his arrival. I wondered then how people would judge me, let alone judge him. This was a big deal to me. The first person I had feelings for after Mike…I never thought it would be possible.
As he pulled into my driveway, my fears changes to excitement. I thought tonight all of my questions will be answered. Some wishful thinking that all of the answers would come in one night…
Come back next week to find out what happened next…

This post is going to discuss things to consider when setting up a basic security strategy in OBIEE, focusing mainly on User Authentication.
Security in OBIEE can be thought of as a 2 step process as a user logs into the system:
1. Authentication – Do you have access?
2. Authorization – How much access do you have?
Think of this as just getting your foot in the door. During Authentication, OBIEE is simply determining if a user has access to the tool. Once someone logs into the system from the Logon screen, the Oracle BI Presentation Server (OBIEE web front end), creates two System Variables. One for the Username that was entered (:USER) and one for the Password that was entered (:PASSOWORD). These System Variables are then sent to the Oracle BI Server to check if a User has been set up with that combination of Username and Password. A User can be set up a few different ways…
Security Manager:
The easiest and most basic way to set someone up with a Username and Password is via the Security Manager. Once someone is set up in this manner, their Username (:USER) and Password (:PASSWORD) are stored on the Oracle BI Server. If the Username and Password entered in the Logon Screen match what's stored on the Oracle BI Server, they are granted access to the tool. This approach should only be taken if just a few people need access to the tool. Adding an entire organization of people in this manner is tedious, time consuming, and difficult to maintain.
External Database:
Setting up a table with a complete set of User Information, including Username and Password, will allow OBIEE to verify security credentials using what's called an Initialization Block. An Initialization Block is basically a SELECT statement sent to the User Information table to pull back Username and Password. It is then compared to the System Variables sent from the Logon screen. If there is a match in the User Information table, they are given access. Now the User doesn't need to be entered through the Security Manager, and the User Information table can be maintained from the database. Additionally, a number of other Variables can be populated from your User Information table to be used during Authorization.
Care must be taken when creating the Initialization Block, as the order of the SELECT statement determines what information is applied to each Variable. For example, in the image below, the value of "full_name" will be applied to the Variable "DISPLAYNAME".
Single Sign-On:
SSO allows Users a single point of access to all of their organization's systems. This typically requires the use of an SSO product. View this blog entry for more information on SSO. http://oraclebiblog.blogspot.com/search/label/SSO
Once you iron out your approach with this first step in the process… You're ready to tackle the task of setting up Authorization. I'll cover this in a future post…

January Jones vs. Christina Hendricks: Is Betty or Joan a Hotter Redhead? — PICS
We never thought we'd say it, but it seems Betty has a little Joan in her. Mad Men star January Jones was spotted sporting a new, just-made-partner-at-Sterling-Cooper-Draper-Pryce-esque look at a Father's day party in Malibu. That's right — the woman otherwise known as Betty Draper seems to be channeling costar Christina Hendricks, an actress famous for her voluptuous red hair (and some of her other voluptuous features, too). It's enough to give Roger Sterling (another) heart attack!
Even though Betty would certainly never be seen with dyed red hair, Jones is no stranger to color: In March, she wore hot pink highlights. So, which Mad Men star is a more glamorous ginger: Jones or Hendricks?

Exciting trimmings used to be so hard to find, but not any more. Here at Bedecked Haberdashery, we have the largest and finest collection of European buttons and trimmings in the United Kingdom.
The majority of our customers are home sewers, but Shepperton film studios, Glyndebourne and a number of West End theatres order our trimmings too. Our buttons also feature in Rowan Yarns' legendary design collections. So, ordering from Bedecked means you're in very good company.
All kinds of sewing, knitting and needlecrafts have enjoyed a huge return to popularity as a creative and fulfilling leisure activity. Witness the success of TV programmes such as 'The Great British Sewing Bee' and all Kirstie Allsopp's Channel 4 programmes. Magazines are featuring needlecrafts too, with a verve and style totally absent in the past.
This return to popularity has led to a renewed interest in finer quality trimmings and embellishments. Here at Bedecked Haberdashery, we have worked hard to put together a range of outstanding buttons, braids, trimmings and fringes. Virtually all come from France, Italy, Germany and Spain.

Some of the worst market action has occurred during the month of September. Statistically, it is the worst performer of the twelve in the calendar. Fresh in our minds is the 2008 financial crisis, which started to show cracks early in the year but this week we 'celebrate' the seventh anniversary of the stock market being brought to its knees. It was a sobering time for all involved, not a stock left unscathed by the carnage of a precipitous drop in the indices. The selling was so intense due to the high level of uncertainty, the volatility index (VIX) climbed well over 90% for the first time ever (some say the 1987 crash would have had a reading of 150 but it was not in play back then).For all it's worth, September is often a time for re-allocation, earnings revisions and to give an outlook for the coming year. To be sure, 2015 has been one huge challenge, and with the chart setups there is no easy path. I call sideways action bearish, and since late Spring this market has been under severe distribution, though it has not always been reflected in the indices. This market continues to trend in a bearish fashion, as it has all year long.
After the worst month (August) than we can remember, September is the month where we should be able to get a handle of the path for the next timeframe. A down month in September likely cements the bearish argument even further. And that's okay, all markets run in cycles.
Some view October as being worse, since that is the most 'ominous' month where stock market crashes have occurred. Historically, that is correct but when markets crash and prices are 'washed out' that often opens the door to new bull market trends. Those catastrophic drops in 1929 and 1987 (others followed but were not as pronounced) were low marks and were often not tested again. So, while we could see some wild price action over the coming weeks it could bode well for the long term future.
The end of a bull market tends to utterly confuse everyone, and most miss out on making money on the bear market because they were too late to get on board - and it is over before you realized it was happening. Some will just sit tight and others will try and buy the dip, which is when that 'trick' won't work any longer. Let the action play out, stay lean and mean, don't overtrade and wait for the right opportunity, never wanting to be the first one in the pool. Let the others take a stab at it, while you wait for your fat pitch.

text: The recent warm temperatures and melting snow makes one think perhaps spring will once again return to our Northern Plains (perhaps it should have been termed the Northern tundra this winter) once again. It has been an extremely cold winter and many of us are indeed anxious for warmer temperatures, the arrival of spring and the opportunity to work outdoors and put a few seeds or plants in the ground. Since it could be a month before we can dive into raking, digging and planting, perhaps this is a time for learning how to better manage our home grounds and landscapes. Here is an example of one such learning opportunity coming up soon. The 2008 Yard and Garden Expo is scheduled for Saturday, March 29th at the Ramada Inn, Aberdeen. This year's Expo will feature five speakers, each experts in their field, on a variety of topics, one or more of which should interest nearly everyone. Want to make your lawn thicker, healthier and greener this year? You will want to attend Shane Andersen's presentation on "Turfgrass Management Ð Tips and Tricks." Shane is the SDSU Extension Turfgrass Associate. Perhaps you are interested in learning about some additional trees and shrubs that have potential for this area of the Northern Plains. If so, be sure to take in John Ball's presentation "Hey, Can That (Tree/Shrub) Grow Here? The Good, the Bad and the Ugly". John is the SDSU Extension Forestry Specialist. Rhoda Burrows, SDSU Extension Horticulture Specialist, will talk about home fruit production and management in her presentation "Back Yard (or Front Yard) Fruit Production." There seems to be a growing interest in growing a few grapes, raspberries or other fruit in the back yard. If you are one of these back yard fruit growing wannabees, this is a presentation you won't want to miss. Have you heard the news about honeybees? They are mysteriously dying. For now they are calling it Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD). Since honeybees are necessary to pollinate nearly everything we eat, there is great concern. Bob Reiners, South Dakota Department of Agriculture State Apiarist will enlighten us with his presentation "Importance of Bees Ð How Can We Help Bees? Ð What's This About CCD?" Are you what's up with this weather we've been having? Is it going to be a dry summer or should we plan for a wet growing season? Would you like to help with weather reporting? Dennis Todey, State Climatologist, will be on hand to predict and discuss all of these issues during his presentation "What's Up For This Growing Season?" In addition to speakers, there will be commercial horticulture exhibitors from local and area businesses. And, the Prairie Partners Master Gardeners will be there to answer your garden, lawn, tree and landscape questions and concerns. The Yard and Garden Expo is open to the public. There is a $5 registration fee payable at the door. Registration starts at 9:30 a.m. The Expo will conclude about 4:00 p.m. For more information or to exhibit at the Expo, contact the Brown County Extension office at 605-626-7120.

Main Plot
After a hard couple of months since her ecstasy problem, Ashley is done with feeling alone and left out from her old group that contained Paige, Jimmy, and Spinner. So to try to make things right, Ashley apologizes to Paige and Jimmy about what she did that one day. Jimmy forgives her hoping they could have another chance at love, but Paige is skeptical with Ashley but forgives her...somewhat, saying that if her friends are right about her, then all is forgiven, but if not, then she "better watch out".
Later that day when Ashley and Terri are getting ready for picture day, Sean then calls Ashley and asks her out. Ashley is enlightened and says yes. After the phone call Ashley thinks that her life is going perfectly until Terri tells her that she thinks it isn't such a great idea to go out with Sean when Jimmy wants to get back together with her, but Ashley brushes it off telling Terri that she'll understand "if someone loves you." Terri is offended but, when Ashley apologizes, Terri only hears half of it.
The next day at Picture day, word gets around that Ashley is going out with Sean, which seems like she apologized to Jimmy for no reason, and didn't want a relationship with him. When Paige finds out, she believes Ashley hasn't changed at all and tells Jimmy. Jimmy attacks Sean, and realizes that Ashley never wanted him. Eventually Jimmy calls Ashley a slut, Paige outcasts Ashley, and Sean gives up on her after she cancels their movie date. He starts to question why, but then he realizes it's because of how much she cares what like Paige think of her. When it's time to take pictures, Paige, with her clique, motions Terri to come over. Terri abandons her old best friend, and Ashley is left crying without any friends. She takes her freshman school photo with a tear rolling down her cheek.
Sub Plot
Toby finally finds the perfect girl for him. But the problem is that the girl, Kendra, is Spinner's adopted sister. Spinner tells Toby to stay away from his little sister, ("If you go near her; I'll turn your glasses into contacts") so Toby obeys. When Kendra found out that Toby wasn't hanging out with her anymore because he was afraid of her brother, she gets upset and calls him a coward. Eventually Toby sticks up for himself and tells Spinner that he's hanging out with Kendra no matter what. Spinner tells him that he could "rip Toby's bowel out and eat it for breakfast." Toby tells him he'll risk that in order to hang out with Kendra. Spinner concedes and allows them to be friends, promising to break Toby's arm if he hurts her.
- This episode is named after the song "Karma Charmeleon" by Culture Club.

Chronic ear infection..

What kind of drops are you putting in daily? I once had a dog that got a lot of ear infections and my vet gave me an ear cleansing solution that just had to be used 2-3 times a week. It was supposed to lower the pH level in the ear and make it harder for infections to develop. (it wasn't used to treat infections, but to prevent them) I had to squirt it in, rub it around well and let the dog shake it out again. Seemed to work. Actually come to think of it, I've had a couple of dogs over the years that have been treated the same way. I can't remember the name of the first solution that I got from the vet, but I think the second one was called Epi-Otic or something similar.
Beware of Mushers...They will suck you into their addiction!
If your dog thinks you're the best, don't seek a second opinion!

2016 is a commemorative year for UNLV Continuing Education, honoring 50 years of lifelong learning at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas and in Southern Nevada. The anniversary theme is "Proud Past, Future Focused."
UNLV's commitment to connecting Las Vegas with high quality non-credit educational experiences started back when the university was still known as "Nevada Southern" and classes were offered through the extension offices of the University of Nevada at Reno. From the start, local business leaders and campus pioneers shared a vision for a university that not only served the traditional college student, but also the workforce of Las Vegas.
UNLV Continuing Education kicked off the anniversary commemoration with a reception at Tam Alumni Center on April 28, 2016, highlighting accomplishments from UNLV Continuing Education's long history and a vision aligned with university goals moving forward. Las Vegas Mayor Carolyn Goodman and the Clark County Commission issued proclamations pronouncing the week of April 25 as UNLV Continuing Education Week.
Former Dean of Extended Studies Paul Aizley shared stories from his time at the helm and recalled a time when professors pitched in to teach continuing education classes either in their professional fields or on topics of personal interest; it was just a part of UNLV's culture for staff to do everything in their power to help programs grow. Two leaders were also recognized at the event. Vice Provost for Educational Outreach Peg Rees received a plaque for her leadership and dedication to diversity and excellence in the workplace. Director of Summer Term Trish Suske was recognized as the longest-serving employee of the Division of Educational Outreach and for her contributions to Continuing Education.
Dr. Rees also spoke about her vision of Continuing Education's future. As UNLV moves forward with plans to gain recognition from the Carnegie Foundation as a "Community Engaged University" by 2020, the Division of Educational Outreach will be deeply involved in this effort with Continuing Education being essential to success. Continuing Education is pursuing opportunities to partner with businesses and organizations in Southern Nevada and beyond to provide executive education, continuing education, and lifetime learning opportunities all in support of community needs and individual aspirations.
A half century after Las Vegas City Manager Bill Adams taught a course on building inspection for the newly formed Institute of General and Technical Studies, UNLV Continuing Education still holds a deep commitment to extending the university's impact beyond traditional academic degrees. With more than 5,000 courses and 23,000 students in the last ten years alone, Continuing Education has truly made a difference in the lives of many Southern Nevadans. UNLV Continuing Education extends its thanks to the university leadership, administrative staff, course instructors, and students who have made the past 50 years a success.
To learn more about UNLV Continuing Education's 50 years, please view our video from the 50th anniversary reception and the timeline.

Please see my post in the Community Introductions also.
I know a little about C++. I'm committed to working in the DEV-C++ IDE environment. I want to learn very simple graphics. I went to the website: www.uniqueness-template.com/devcpp/ and found there the commands "moveto" and "lineto" as well as the linker setup of DEV-C++ to use some graphics. With that, I managed to make some lines where I wanted them on the screen.
Question: What are some of the other neat commands to make graphics? Where is there a tutorial for simple graphics, like for plotting the data from the solutions to equations?
Thanks for any help,

Feeling Selfish?
Don't give up on your own welfare
For the sake of others' welfare, however great.
Clearly know your own welfare
And be intent on the highest good.
The Dhammapada
Our heads are filled with misguided notions about who we are and what we must do in this life. People who take advantage of others are labeled as selfish (and rightly so), while others, who just have a plain preference are also labeled as selfish (wrongly so). Many people grow up thinking we must exploit ourselves on the job, at home and in the community to be thought of well. In prevalently protestant cultures – like in the United States - time off, breaks, vacations, idling around, creative activities, along with playtime and intimacy are deemed unproductive, thus generating guilt in those who even ponder such things. We end up feeling exhausted, sick and tired, because we abuse and neglect our own Selves as a way of life, in order to avoid feeling – or being labeled as – "selfish".
Self-centered is the only perspective we have in life. It is not a moral issue, it is just the way we are built. No one can see the world through someone else's eyes, wishes, desires, or fears. We only have one perspective: our own. We live in separate bodies, and they are hard-wired for feeling, knowing what is healthy – for them. The way you feel is your truth, dictated by Nature, not your mind.
There is only my truth (feelings, needs, preferences), and your truth (feelings, needs, preferences); no other Truth is manifested anywhere in the universe. This is because our feelings carry the information about what we need to be well, and that is Nature's intelligence built into us. Others' preference is not truer than yours. At the point where two preferences collide there is communication: you can and must explain, and educate the other about your needs, and then negotiate plans of action that honor both parties' preferences. The result is a caring resolution to the satisfaction of all parties involved. Whenever this process is stunted there is a risk of selfish behaviors.
If you feel like a bad person for wanting to be well, stop. It is your birthright, in fact, your main mandate. Selfish behavior is quite the opposite of self-care. Choosing your own convenience over someone else's true needs is selfish. But do not confuse convenience with necessity. Choosing what is necessary for your wellbeing over someone else's preferences is not only not selfish, it is self-care. That self-care is a pre-requisite for generosity is a truth that only seems paradoxical on the surface.
The main reason for a pattern of selfish behavior is stunted growth: in lack of adequate nutrients any living organism would be desperately reaching for more, driven and absorbed by the hungry Self. In a human being when some fundamental needs are not met during the early years maturation is stunted, and the person is "stuck". Only when you get what you need can you fully mature, and then be altruistic, by giving from the overflow. Hence, it is normal for children and adolescents to behave in a selfish way. They are still in the process of growing in self-awareness: knowing how they feel and what they need to feel better. Moreover, they do not yet have the skills and tools to meet their needs. A larger awareness follows from self-awareness, just like altruism springs forth from self-care.
Examples for selfish behaviors would include blaming or criticizing others for asking for what they need (abuse), or ignoring others' needs, and choosing one's own over them (neglect). Deep down the culprit is lack of adequate attention, or compassion to one's own feelings and needs.
It stands to reason that the only stance that is decent and fair to your Self, as well as to others is to care.
Compassionate toward yourself
You reconcile all beings in the world.
Lao Tzu
When you don't get what you need there will be an imbalance, a dis-ease, and you will burden others, having to rely on them to do your job, and compensate for what you lack in. If it is necessary, sure, do rely, we all need help when we are sick or down. Is it necessary though for you to be weakened or down if you could help it by simply paying attention to your needs and meeting them? By loving yourself? How can others love you more than you do yourself – and why should they do what only you can? It is actually selfish to not put yourself first, don't you agree?
You cannot overdo fulfilling a need, simply because once it is met it will cease to be. Therefore, you cannot be selfish by reaching for all that you need. But if you don't, you will end up hungry, which is a setup for reaching for a substitute, something you don't really need, or not as much of it: a temporary fix, a substitute like money, drugs, alcohol, position, power. Not that there is anything wrong with money, or a drink, or power, or position: it is only when people reach for these things as substitutes that they become selfish, hurtful to others. This is a direct outcome of self-neglect, or ignoring one's needs.
You can only be good to the extent you are well. Health is positive energy. When you are sick, or tired, you are deficient in positive energy. No one can give from an empty satchel. The more you give yourself the things you really need, like love, acceptance, attention, soothing, communication, and the such, the better you feel, and the more of it you can give to others. Relating positively to others happens simply by extension, by virtue of you practicing these qualities in your relationship to yourself.
Most people have a modicum of guilt or discomfort thinking of themselves first. We still do at times, but we try to hide it, or cover it up with a white lie as if there was something wrong with it. "Sorry, I can't come to the party, I have work to do" (really?), or "Yes, I would be happy to do that" (not!). Saying "yes" to others is often a betrayal of one's own truth; we betray ourselves by saying "come on, you can do it, don't be selfish, you are not that tired, this is more important", etc.
Do you realize what damage this causes inside of you? How much energy you "bleed" in the process? It causes serious internal conflict, and then perpetuates it, by extension, between you and others. This is when the enemy is within the doors: as we focus on external expectations rather than on internal whispers and urges we lose track of our own truth.
As a result, we lose faith in ourselves, in our ability to reach for what we need, and feel peaceful, well, lovable and important. Living in denial of how we truly feel causes an internal war that is exhausting, and depressing. It drains our sense of self-empowerment, simply because there is literally no one "home" you could trust. No one to bring your pain to, who would listen, accept and help. Truth is, you are the one who must and can be that person in the first place. When you do that, others follow suit. When you do not, others don't either. Call it selfish, call it whatever you will, the fact remains, you are the one Nature put in charge of you.
It is time we afford the luxury of giving ourselves the compassion we deserve. Compassion is being positive, validating, loving, caring, and present. It is the way you want to be in this world. If this makes you feel selfish, then you can do this with good conscience for the sake of others! "What's good for the goose is what's good for the gander" – now saying was ever truer. When you are well, you are optimizing the potential for the welfare of others around you. Not only you don't burden others, you also radiate well-being, love, and peace, and everyone will benefit. Fill your own container first, and then give to others from the overflow. Don't buy into the destructive myth that this is selfish.
Our entire life… consists ultimately in accepting ourselves as we are.
Jean Anouilh
An important consideration: when you find yourself thinking of someone in your surroundings as selfish ask yourself before you get deeper into judgment, have I made it clear what I need from this person? Have I been assertive, that is positive and specific regarding my expectations, and did I really mean it?
I often find that people label each other when they are disappointed. If this is you, consider this your chance to take care of yourself by taking responsibility for getting your needs met. You are good enough just the way you are. If you notice you give too much, or too little to others it is because you are not getting what you need. When you make sure you do, your life will rebalance itself.

We're a little concerned for Mena Suvari. The usually girlie actress, with the flowing blonde locks seems to have shaved off all her hair. We're hoping this is for a gritty new film role, as channelling Britney is so not a good look Mena!

text: SOUTH BEND -- Mary McAleese, president of Ireland, will be the main speaker and the recipient of an honorary doctor of laws degree at the University of Notre Dame's 2006 commencement ceremony on May 21. McAleese was elected president in 1997 and stood unopposed for election to a second term in 2004. A native of Belfast, she is the country's eighth president and the first from Northern Ireland. As part of her "building bridges" theme, McAleese is a regular visitor to Northern Ireland, where she has been welcomed by both the Catholic and Protestant communities. Among many gestures, she officially recognizes both St. Patrick's Day and the Twelfth of July, the anniversary of the Protestant victory in the 1690 Battle of the Boyne. The eldest of nine children, McAleese was raised in a Catholic family in a mainly Protestant area of Belfast. During "The Troubles," her family was forced to leave its home, settling in County Down. She studied law at Queen's University in Belfast and graduated with honors in 1973. "As an attorney, journalist, scholar and now president, Mary McAleese is an inspiring role model for women, a fierce champion for peace, and a passionate voice within the Catholic Church," said the Rev. John I. Jenkins, Notre Dame's president. "The theme of her presidency is 'building bridges,' and she has done just that, while also staying true to herself." After practicing law for a year, McAleese accepted a position at Dublin's Trinity College as a professor of criminal law, criminology and penology, succeeding Mary Robinson, whom she later succeeded as Ireland's president. She left the university to work for two years as a journalist for "Frontline" and "Today Tonight" programs on RTÉ, the national television network of Ireland. She continued to work part time with RTÉ after returning to Trinity in 1981. McAleese returned to Northern Ireland in 1987 to become director of the Institute of Professional Legal Studies at her alma mater. Seven years later, she was appointed a pro vice-chancellor at Queen's, giving her management responsibilities for the entire university. McAleese is married to Martin McAleese, who in 2004 received an honorary degree from Notre Dame during the dedication of Dublin's O'Connell House as the new base for the university's programs in Ireland.
