Wonderful card - love the colour on that acetate - so vibrant! TFSReplyDelete
Lovely Karen. I love the simpleness of it..ReplyDelete
Hi Karen, oh my, I am so sorry my challenge was so stressed for you. But how clever - will have to remember your technique of printing onto acetate is you can't stamp or don't have Staz-On. You would never know you had issues with this if you hadn't of told us, the image is gorgeous and I love the colours you have used and you have a gorgeous card too. I just wanted to thank you for taking part in my inky challenge xReplyDelete

S: Walter melon
BC: Walter melon
1: Written by William Eastin Pictures by Photoshop Elements
2: Walter was a normal kid. He liked normal games. He liked normal food. He had a normal family, but a not so normal name which was WALTER MELON which evidently is his least favorite fruit
4: Every day he got picked on, all his class mates hated him. He would tell the teacher and she didn't listen either. He told his parents and they just told him that Walter was a perfectly normal name.
6: So after school one day he got so fed up with every thing he ran away. After one month of running without stopping he came to a small town where no one knew him. He stopped running and he hopped a fence and drank water until he barfed. Then he noticed it was dog water but he didn't mind it was similar to how he got fed at home.
8: He decided to go to school there to see if it was better but people treated him twice as badly with his old tattered clothing and horrible smell of him from him not taking a shower in a month. So he had no one but if he was lucky the people at his old school wouldn't treat him as bad as these people. So he went home and then learned that no matter where he goes he`ll be a freak.
10: In a few years his parents kicked him out of the house. So he had to make money and fast. So he started making signs so people would give him money and people didn't just give him money they bought the signs too. Soon enough he had a sign store.
12: Walter started raking in money in the millions. People started lining up for miles and miles. People were crazy for his signs. He couldn't keep up with the demand for them so he started a chain of his stores called "Walters Funny Signs"
14: Soon enough he was a billionaire with his chain of stores.People just loved his signs. He lived in $50,000,000 house and got whatever he wanted which wasn't much. Every day tons of his old bullies would show up begging for money claiming they were his friends. Each one worse than the other always throwing the other one under the bus so they could get money.
16: At the age of 86 Walter passed away as the richest man on earth. He had no regrets, no worries. He had done well in life and his name didn't hold him back. He had his belongings and money and it was enough for him. He donated all his money to charity after his death.
18: But if you can excuse me I must go I have very important business to attend to. There a lot of thing that must be dealt with and it will take some time. I bid you farewell and good bye stranger.

If you have been diagnosed with plantar fasciitis, you know just how painful this condition can be. Although plantar fasciitis is curable, it can take several months before you are pain free. Fortunately, there are several plantar fasciitis exercises you can do at home that have been proven to relieve the pain and shorten your recovery time.
Perform these plantar fasciitis exercises along with wearing a night splint, using shoe inserts, avoiding excessive activity, and taking any medication recommended by your doctor. Start slowly and carefully, so you don't make your plantar fasciitis worse. It is better to do several light stretching sessions throughout the day rather than one intense session.Wall-Stretches
With both hands on a wall, place one foot behind the other, and slowly push back against the rear foot. Hold it for a count of 20, then switch feet. Stretch both feet 5 times each. Don't bounce and only stretch as far as you are comfortable. You can gradually increase this stretch as the plantar fasciitis pain lessens. You can bend your knee to deepen this stretch.
Towel Pulls
This plantar fasciitis exercise has the same effect as the wall-stretches, but is performed while sitting down. Cradle the ball of your foot in a small towel, and use both hands to gently pull back on the towel. Hold for a count of 20. Repeat 5 times. Keep your legs straight and be careful not to pull back too far.
Ankle Articulation
When you have plantar fasciitis pain, your natural response is to alter the way you walk, eliminating those positions that hurt the most. The purpose of this exercise is to help maintain your ankle's range of motion. While sitting, point your toes, and use the tips of your toes to spell out each letter of the alphabet. Make the letters big and well-formed, so you can exercise your ankle fully.
Freeze a water bottle, or a can of vegetables. While sitting, place the can or bottle on the floor under your sore foot. Press your foot down gently and roll the can back and forth for 10 minutes. The cold reduces the swelling, while the rolling action stretches the tendon. Repeat this plantar fasciitis exercise every 30 to 40 minutes.
Do these exercises each day to cure plantar fasciitis. These exercises are particularly helpful in the morning when your plantar fasciitis pain the worst. Make sure you talk to your doctor before you begin any plantar fasciitis treatment program.

I am planning on a trip to South Carolina in February next year. I am planning on visiting Charleston and possibly moving on down to Savannah for a couple of days.
What I'd like to know (I have never been to the East Coast) is whether the weather is going to be bad! It would also be nice to hear some stories of shoestring stays in the region, can you help?!
I'm not intersted in the clubs or bars especially, more the best towns, best way to travel (get me a horse!), the best grits etc. You know the stuff we all dream about afterwards....
Many thanks

It's been a long time between visits… and it's not as if I haven't been reading!!!
So this post is going to be quite long. I'm not going to go into as much detail as usual, but I am going to use this as an opportunity to share my readings (briefly)!
The Battle of the Sun by Jeanette Winterson.
Took a little bit of reading to get into – a very different style of writing. Not a lot of description and tends to be abrupt (in my opinion), but once I got the hang of it, thoroughly enjoyable.
Very different characters, with one character, Silver, crossing over from a previous book. I liked Jack's never give up attitude, and of course… the dragon!
Twilight the graphic novel, volume 1 by Stephanie Meyer, Art and Adaptation by Young Kim.
Loved this – especially since the characters are closer to my imaginings than the actors!
Of course it is shorter than the original novel (being volume 1)and leaves out some things, however the emotion and underlying themes of the novel are beautifully captured.
Looking forward to volume 2!
Worm in the Blood by Thomas Bloor
An unusual book. I was sucked in from the beginning, but took a while to be able to predict the course of events. I was mystified and intrigued.
Sam is fantastic! His curse is an unusual take on dragons – love it!
Ghostgirl by Tonya Hurley
I found this book very hard to get into – the main character, Charlotte Usher, is not likable nor sympathetic. Not a character I could relate to, or wanted to relate to. I had many other books screaming for my attention that I would rather have been reading…
I was a bit naughty and kept putting Ghostgirl down to read other books, but eventually I found something in there to relate to! I'm not saying it's not a good book – it is, but not my cup of tea!
Wolven by Di Toft
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Wolves have always been a favourite of mine, along with dragons (and more recently vampires and fallen angels). Wolven are different again!
A cross between family dog and werewolf, Nat Carver's new dog, Woody, turns out to be more than anyone bargained for.
The characters are well drawn and enjoyable and the villain is deliciously revolting – very easy to dislike intensely!
I recommend this for boys!
When you reach me by Rebecca Stead
Newbery Medal winner for 2010, this book is delightful, bringing back memories of my own adventures with Madeleine L'Engle and a wrinkle in time (as well as all her other books).
Time travel is alive and well and just as confusing and abstract as it ever was.
Miranda is the main character and totally likable. Her struggles with friendships and understanding the world around her, her mother's obsession with a TV game show and the crazy homeless guy who lives uner the postbox on the corner are believable and entertaining. I loved this book!
Tantalize – predator or prey? by Cynthia Leitich Smith
I got this book to read after thoroughly enjoying Eternal by the same author.
This book involves werewolves, vampires, cooking and evil.
I didn't get the same kick out of this book as Eternal, but still an enjoyable read.
Need by Carrie Jones
Pixies are alive and well in Maine. Zara White is shipped off to live with her Grandmother in Maine, when she doesn't cope with her fathers death. Things do not go smoothly. Boys are disappearing, blizzards keep blowing up out of nowhere and her new best friends are werewolves…
My kind of book!
Peeps by Scott Westerfeld
Scott Westerfeld is fast becoming a favourite of mine. I loved this book – couldn't put it down!
A very unusual take on vampires, with great characters and plenty of action!
The story follows Cal, who has been infected by the parasite, but is only a carrier… this means he has infected all his girlfriends, who he now must track down and neutralise. Full of informative and totally gross facts about parasites, the book is highly enjoyable!
Blue Bloods and Masquerade by Melissa de la Cruz
Gossip girl just went vamp!
Schuyler Van Allen attends an exclusive Manhattan school. She never quite fit in, but wasn't too fazed, until one of her schoolmates dies and the most popular boy in school starts to show a sudden interest in her.
Of course there is much more to the story – the vampires are actually angels fallen from heaven…. two of my new favourite themes in one!
Grave Sight by Charlaine Harris
Harper Connolly can see dead people. She was struck by lightening when she was young and ever since has been able to locate dead bodies by following their ghosts.
Not as enjoyable as the Sookie Stackhouse books, but still not a bad read.
A Kiss of Shadows by Laurell K. Hamilton
Faeries are real and living amongst us. Meredith Gentry (Merry for short) is not what she seems. Working for a detective agency in LA, she deals with the abnormal – until she is outed for what she really is… a faerie princess.
Now her identity is revealed, she has to go home and deal with her Aunt – the Queen of the Dark Sithe, with a thirst for pain and an appetite for the erotic…
Moon Called, Blood Bound, Iron Kissed and Bone Crossed by Patricia Briggs
I enjoyed these books so much, I read the whole set!!!
Werewolves, vampires and the Fey – what more could you ask for? Mercedes Thompson (Mercy) is actually a shifter – changing at will into a coyote. Called a Walker, her special talent protects her form some magic and her gumption, loyalty and caring nature make her a very likable character. Being pursued by two gorgeous werewolves is just an added bonus!
Changeless by Gail Carriger
A novel of vampires, werewolves and dirigibles!
The sequel to Souless follows the adventures of Alexia Maccon, the Lady of Woolsey and her husband as they investigate and upend exorcised ghosts, vampire politics and werewolf pack dynamics.
I loved this book as much as the first in the series, and given the shock ending – can't wait for the next installment!!
My pile is now down to just 3 book – and I'm starving! I'll try to make sure I don't leave things as long this time!!!

FLORIDA --A homeowner in Florida got quite a shock when investigating why his toilet wasn't flushing properly.
The man got his family to help him remove the toilet.
They looked down and saw the head of an iguana peering up at them.
The family took a long strand of rope and a piece of wood, which they used to remove the iguana before letting him go free outside.

Which Portfolio?
Looking at the variety of options regarding my portfolio, I'd prefer to have a soft leather bound one, much like the design that was shown to us by Fred.
Pampa Book A3 Portrait; £59.95.
The hard leather portfolios however offer much more stability and unlike the design in soft leather can be held both landscape and portrait, it does however look much more like the portfolios that we have in college which does put me off slightly.
PRAT Siva "Classic" Press Book 30cm x 42cm; £65.50.
Then of course could blow the budget with Brodies, £260.00+.

Thriving and Falling Leaves Scarf or Cowl
This pattern that now also provides a buttoned cowl version.
Now Pure Silk Yarn in two colors available in my Etsy store CraftStruck -- https://www.etsy.com/listing/85940264/lace-weight-3-ply-p…
to knit this scarf or cowl pattern.
As a lover of nature, it is fascinating to observe how trees continue living even as leaves fall. The design of the scarf tries to capture this cycle of life of creation and destruction. While one tail of the scarf depicts the falling of leaves, the other shows them blossoming and thriving.
Knitting it with 2 ply makes it delicate and drapey.
Repeats of 48 rows which makes 3 leaves at either end makes up the scarf or cowl.
Many thanks to my test-knitters:
pschweigert, Arya9, siropdorgeat, erikarosi, softwhite1, KnitSewPretty, bluevelvet234, JordanMcCollum, lainalaina, smorrish and croknit86
Special thanks to KnitSewPretty for turning the scarf into a buttoned down cowl.

Seib & Wessel: Pentagon Braces for Leaner Era
WSJ reporters Julian Barnes and Janet Hook describe the new 'era' for the Pentagon and the realization that defense cuts could be here to stay.

This drink may seem a little strange to you at first but I really can't recommend it enough. I've been having a variation of it every morning for a few months now and I've noticed a huge increase in energy, especially in my early morning workouts.
Essentially, I'm using this as a pre-workout and it's awesome. It also tastes incredible. I know it sounds super odd to add oil to your coffee but when you blend it something magical happens. After about 30-60 seconds it turns into the frothiest, creamiest, latte-like cup of coffee you ever did see. I love it!
Other than the killer workouts, I've also lost a bit of weight, noticed an increase in productivity and focus throughout the morning and that I'm not as hungry as I used to be between breakfast and lunch. The weight loss is probably due to a number of factors, I'm not attributing it just to this. I've been training pretty hard lately and eating really well so I'm sure it's a combination of things. Either way, I'm hooked on this addition to my diet.
So what's the deal with Bulletproof Coffee anyway? Well, Dave Apsprey's original version is made with unsalted, grass-fed butter, MCT oil and low-toxin coffee. I don't eat butter but using just 1 tbsp of MCT oil is working great for me. Regular coconut oil works too.
MCT oil is medium chain triglycerides and it's found in coconut oil as well as other foods. Supplementation with MCT oil began as a fat source to help treat disease, obesity and fat malabsorption. Recently, athletes and bodybuilders have been touting it's fat burning and energy sustaining powers.
I'm usually pretty skeptical about things like this, I don't believe there is an end all to be all "superfood" and I don't think MCT oil would be considered that even if there was one. But personally I've been loving it as an addition to my diet and it makes me feel good, so that's all that really matters!
Typical Bulletproof Coffee is meant to be used as a replacement for breakfast, personally I'm not using it that way. Since I'm only adding 1 tbsp of MCT oil to mine, I still eat my regular breakfast after my workout.
There are some notions to be considered if you decide to follow Asprey's original recipe for Bulletproof Coffee. If you have any health concerns, you may want to check with your doctor before proceeding it. My version only contains a small amount of added fat where as typical Aprey's Bulletproof Coffee recommends 2 tbsp of butter in addition to the 1 tbsp of MCT oil, quite a lot! It may work for some people depending on your activity level, your current diet and if you have any health issues however, I wouldn't just jump right in to that without further research. Do your own research, experiment and then make a decision as to whether it's something that would benefit you or not.
I'm not really a fan of traditional store-bought "pre-workouts," there's too much scary stuff in lot of them. I do enjoy the Vega Pre-Workout Energizer and I often use it for evening workouts but for early morning workout sessions, MCT oil coffee has been the most effective and most delicious way to get rockin' in the morning. I also don't have much of an appetite at 6 am but do need some energy for my workout, so this is really perfect for me.
To really super charge it and make it more substantial, I also love adding about 1/2 a scoop of vanilla vegan protein powder. It tastes awesome, gets super frothy and delicious and provides all the energy I need and more for a killer workout. I've been hooked on this lately! It's so good!
How to make my version of Bulletproof Coffee:
1. Brew your favourite organic coffee. (I've made this with green and black tea too, both of which are delicious!)
2. Blend about 2 cups of coffee with 1 tbsp of MCT oil or coconut oil in a high-speed blender for at least 30 seconds until frothy. Optional: Add 1/2 scoop of vanilla protein powder of choice, it's awesome!
3. Enjoy!
You can add a little sweetener if you prefer. I don't like my coffee sweet so I just drink it as is. If you like a bit of sweetener try a splash of maple syrup, stevia, xylitol or other sweetener of choice. You can also add a little non-dairy milk if you must. If you add protein you definitely don't need sweetener or added milk.
Pick up some MCT Oil and give it a try! Be sure to come back and let me know what you think!

A Choice between Loyalty and Filial Piety
A Choice between Loyalty and Filial Piety
Loyalty and filial piety, as the two major virtues in Confucian orthodoxy, have been emphasized for centuries in Chinese history. Loyalty "bonded officials to rulers," and filial piety "bonded children to parents" (Spence 102). When talking about loyalty and filial piety, modern people tend to have the misconception that the two virtues are applied more to the vast subjects ruled by the Chinese emperor, rather than to the emperor himself. Especially when thinking about the application of loyalty, it seems the emperor himself has no master to serve or betray. Yet in Elliott's book, the author successfully portrays a humanlike emperor, Qianlong, a person who was constrained by these two virtues he pursued, and sometimes he needed to make a hard choice between them.
One of the scenes that surprised me the most is Qianlong's extreme outrage towards his respected teacher, Zhang Tingyu. Eighty-eight-year-old Zhang sent his son to give thanks for Qianlong's benevolence after his personal request had been approved, but Qianlong lost his temper due to the fact that Zhang did not come himself. After Zhang came on the third day to apologize, Qianlong was even angrier and "called [Zhang] among others a 'useless antique'" (32). The relationship between Qianlong and Zhang was not simply emperor and minister or student and teacher, but both. By the time the Qing dynasty was founded, "the works of Confucius were regardedâ¦as the key repositories of ethical wisdom" (Spence 102). Ru doctrines, also known as "monolithic Confucianism" (76), require students to show great respect to their teachers.

Award-winning British designer-maker Ted Jefferis launches his debut collection in 2014 under the brand TedWood. Comprising of a dining table, bench, storage and lighting, all pieces are handcrafted in Ted's West Sussex workshop from seasoned British timber using traditional methods.
Ted's family history is engrained with design and woodwork heritage. The son of a classic boat builder, Ted took up studying at Oxford Brookes University, where he began to explore the concept of furniture as a scaled down form of architecture. His new collection continues the appreciation of the fundamental relationship between furniture and the surrounding interior.
Ted is fastidious in his selection of wood, and using sustainably grown wood is a simple yet elegant solution to locking away carbon for generations to come. It is Ted's fond hope that, through his work. He will emphasise and encourage sustainability, permanancy and narrative, creating a couterbalance to the throwaway culture of modern society.

The small molecule oral JAK inhibitor baricitinib was effective for patients with highly refractory rheumatoid arthritis, a phase III study found.
In a cohort of 527 patients with rheumatoid arthritis, a 20% response according to the criteria of the American College of Rheumatology (ACR20) was seen in 55% of patients receiving 4 mg/day of baricitinib plus conventional background therapies compared with 27% of those given placebo (P<0.001), according to Mark C. Genovese, MD, of Stanford University in Palo Alto, Calif., and colleagues.
Among that cohort, 42% had previously received one biologic agent, 30% had been given two, 27% had already tried three biologics, and in 38%, at least one of the biologics used was not a tumor necrosis factor (TNF) inhibitor, the researchers reported in the March 31 issue of New England Journal of Medicine.
"Our findings have particular relevance because of the unmet need for effective treatment of rheumatoid arthritis in patients receiving a conventional synthetic [disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drug] DMARD with inadequate disease control despite previous treatment with multiple biologic agents; the number of such patients has been consistently increasing since biologic DMARDs first became available more than 15 years ago," Genovese and colleagues wrote.
Baricitinib is an inhibitor of the Janus kinases (JAK) 1 and 2 that was effective in phase II trials among patients who had not responded sufficiently to conventional DMARDs.
To determine if the drug's efficacy extended to large numbers of patients with disease refractory to biologic therapies, the investigators conducted a study at 178 centers in 24 countries, enrolling patients from January 2013 to March 2014.
Participants were randomized to receive 2 mg or 4 mg baricitinib daily, or placebo, plus conventional therapies including DMARDs, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, and 10 mg prednisone or less per day.
Their mean age was 56, average disease duration was 14 years, and 80% were women. They had moderately to severely active disease, with baseline swollen and tender joint counts of 17 and 29, respectively. Mean high-sensitivity C-reactive protein levels were 20 mg/L (a level of 3 mg/L is considered the upper limit of normal).
Genovese also presented some data from this study at the 2015 annual meeting of the European League Against Rheumatism. In that presentation, he reported that ACR50 and ACR70 responses were seen at 3 months in 28% and 11% of the 4-mg group compared with 8% and 2% of the placebo group, and that many patients began to show improvement in the first week of treatment.
Patients receiving the 4-mg dose of baricitinib also had significantly greater improvements on efficacy measures other than ACR20, including the disease activity score in 28 joints at weeks 12 and 24 (P<0.001 for both time points) and for the Health Assessment Questionnaire Disability Index (P<0.001 for both time points).
On an additional measure, remission according to the Simplified Disease Activity Index, nonsignificant differences were seen at week 12, but by week 24, a total of 9% of patients in the 4-mg group were in remission compared with 2% of the placebo group (P<0.01).
During the 24 weeks, 4% of patients in the placebo and 2-mg baricitinib groups withdrew from the trial because of an adverse event, as did 6% of those in the 4-mg group.
Serious adverse events were reported by 7%, 4%, and 10% of the three groups, respectively, and serious infections were reported in 3%, 2%, and 3%. One patient in the 4-mg group, a 76-year-old patient with diabetes, died following a basilar artery thrombosis, and a second had a nonfatal myocardial infarction.
There were two cases of nonmelanoma skin cancer in the 4-mg group, but no cases of gastrointestinal perforation.
Laboratory test abnormalities included increases in low-density lipoprotein cholesterol and small, transient increases in serum creatinine with baricitinib treatment. There also were reductions in neutrophil counts, but there were no treatment withdrawals because of these changes.
"In comparison with previous phase III trials of treatments for rheumatoid arthritis, this study enrolled a high proportion of patients (more than one third) with an inadequate response to or unacceptable side effects associated with both TNF-inhibitor and non-TNF-inhibitor biologic DMARDs," Genovese and colleagues wrote.
Among those previous trials was one testing tofacitinib (Xeljanz), the first-in-class JAK inhibitor for rheumatoid arthritis, which otherwise went unmentioned in the NEJM report.
Limitations of the study included its short duration and a lack of radiographic data. "Additional studies are needed to assess long-term safety and durability of response," the investigators concluded.
The study was sponsored by Eli Lilly. Several of the co-authors reported financial relationships, including employment, with Eli Lilly, and also with other companies including Pfizer, Vertex, AbbVie, Novartis, Bristol-Myers Squibb, and UCB.

Teen Mom may be a show aimed at teenagers, but many of the parenting struggles the girls go through resonate with anyone who has kids. And for Teen Mom 2 star Chelsea Houska, one of the biggest challenges is making it all work as a single mom.
The mother of 3-year-old Aubree sat down with The Stir recently to talk about life after getting rid of loser ex-boyfriend Adam Lind for good. And Chelsea confessed her biggest struggles as a single mom.
Chelsea on how she'll explain to her daughter why she's not still with her ex:
I'm glad I made my decisions so I don't have to explain myself. He's going to feel like crap probably.
I feel like me and her are always going to be really close. From the beginning we've been little best buddies. It's just me and her. We're best friends.
Of course I have to take the mom role too, but I just feel like we're going to be really open with each other ... I don't want to ever feel like I'm scared to talk to my child about anything.
On doing it alone:
Disciplining is hard, especially when you're a single parent. I almost feel bad! I know that sounds silly. I do discipline her, but then I feel bad. And 3 is much worse than 2 with the tantrums, for sure!
I never know what to do; I'm always just, like, oh my God. Oh my god. Like in the middle of the store, sometimes she'll just lose it!
I will leave my grocery cart and walk out of the store. And then I'm scared because you can't do anything in public. Especially when people know I'm on TV, they're, like, oh my God, she is so mean to her kid. And it's, like, what do you want to me do?
Are you a single parent? Do you relate to what Chelsea is saying?

July has flown by in a blur of sun, beer, and laughter. All good things, among other things. I have tuned out from the hype of polity and society. Just waiting for the mofos at the top to start fingering each other to save themselves. The debt deal? More like the dead deal. Who's dealing? Kickin the can down the road, sure feels good, dodnt it now.
I had an interaction with Bob Grady of Cheyenne Capital several weeks ago here in Jackson. Some Senators were there but I didn't make out which ones. Jackson's Tea Party organized the event and I was attended without any idea what it was other than an event "with a great speaker." Great speaker, sure, but what was he speaking about? Cutting Medicare. All this shit has circulated the MSM by now (this event was in late May), but Bob Grady was on the front lines of the cut Medicare campaign.
Sitting in the back row for the entire Powerpoint presentation, I had a hard time watching all the bald and gray heads sit there in silence as Grady used his remote control as a wand streaming through slides explaining that Medicare is the primary problem with the U.S. budget deficit. I'm sorry, Bobby, but we cannot cut medical care for the poor to save money for the problem is much larger than Medicare, and you know it.
At the end of the question and answer session, after I had raised my hand repeatedly, Bob finally looked in my direction with the fear that this young person in the back row may actually ask a real question, and indicated he relented to allow me to ask a question. I stood up and said something to this effec; "I think Niall Fergusson would agree (in one of his last slides, he referced Fergusson) that the U.S. is facing a period of imperial overstretch with our interst payments, and furthermore, I would argue that our interest payments to the Federal Reserve resemlble a ponzi scheme. Now, if you would, Mr. Grady, please explain the role of the Federal Reserve with regard to monetary policy, and where the Congress regulates such decisions?"
Grady responded, with at first a smile and his attention projected on all the graying babyboomers in his immediate radius, "Well, the mandate of the Fed is price stability..." after which he lost the smile and trailed off in a bullshit haze which I interjected with questions about the Fed's status as the largest holder of U.S. debt, as opposed to China, a common thread, and the Fed's role as a fiat money machine. After two counterpoints I made, one of Grady's cohorts remarked from the aisle across the room, "We should have only one more question, the hot dogs are getting cold," or something like that. Really, you old fart? Whatever, the point is the debate is being stifled and people need to get loud. I'm not sure what the U.S. Treasury pays to the Fed on interest, but let's face it, the U.S. is broke. Why try to blame the poor for problems the rich create? Oh wait, stupid question...next. Why do you try to lie to hundreds of graying babyboomers about Medicare being the culprit of our woes? Who's axe do you grind? Your Bush namedropping is a giveaway.
Several weeks later, I saw Grady as I was walking into the Maverick Station in Jackson. He was right inside the doorway as I was opening the door, entering the building. I even held the door for him. He looked me in the eyes and remembered me I think. I should have asked him what it was all for. What is it, Bob? Why do you lie? Where does your inside information come from? What is the grand plan?
I should have thrown him a fake sucker punch. Motherfucker.

It is possible that this relationship has been changing over time. If you plotted only the years 1990-2009 (not shown), the corresponding trend line would be
change in unemployment rate = 2/3 (2.7 - GDP growth)
The only difference is that unemployment remains constant at a somewhat lower rate of economic growth; above or below this point the impact of growth on unemployment is the same. What is the significance of Okun's Law today? At the time this is being written, the unemployment rate in the US is too high at 9.8%. Suppose we would like it to fall to 5%. If the more recent relationship continues to hold, it is telling us we need 7.2% of extra growth (4.8%, the desired reduction in unemployment, divided by 2/3, which means multiplied by 3/2) above the 2.7 level. We could accomplish this in a single year if we could get to 9.9% growth, but this is almost certainly out of reach. To get to 5% in three years would mean averaging 5.1% over that period. (Divide 7.2 by three and add to 2.7.) This is highly unlikely as well unless the government undertakes a much more aggressive adjustment program than we have yet seen. In fact, current growth hovers close to the break-even level itself, suggesting that high unemployment is likely to remain a fact of life for a long time.

Okun's Law and Current Unemployment
Here's a short snippet from my unfolding macro text:

Your account assumes that the causality runs from growth -> employment. How does Okun's law establish this causality? Isn't it more plausible that higher employment leads to higher growth -- if Okun's law is indeed causal at all?

Packing For A Mini Break
I'm not sure about you but I find packing for a small break a lot harder than packing for a long break as I am limited to the amount of clothes I can take. I also find it difficult to decide what type of things I should take as well.
I'm going to our caravan in Poole for 3 days and am excited as it means that I am able to get away from the stress of real life, if only for a while. Last month was hard for me and I feel that a mini break is just the thing I need.
I am going to spend time recuperating, writing blog posts and also preparing myself for an upcoming job interview! I also plan to read a book whilst I am away, generally I read about 5 books a month but I haven't even been able to read one this summer as it has been so hetic and full on!
Therefore, my little case consists of two day outfits, two night outfits, make-up (an absolute necessity), a book, my trusty laptop, a good pad and pen, hair straighteners, good ol' Ray Bans and a small handbag for the day time! Perfect for a mini break!
Thanks For Reading

It might be the most special of all the Derek Jeter tributes -- TMZ Sports has learned the legendary Carnegie Deli in NYC will now offer a $28 sandwich to honor the Yankees captain.
So, what does one get for $28?
A rep for the deli tells us ... the "Derek Jeter Triple Club Sandwich" comes piled high with 2 classic meats (because he's #2) -- turkey and bacon.
Plus, several slices of American cheese -- with tomato and lettuce ... served on toasted white bread.
The deli rep adds, "We chose American Cheese because nothing is more American than baseball."
BONUS -- if you sit down to eat at the restaurant, you get complimentary pickles!

text: Where Precision Ag Meets Crop Insurance January 30, 2014 03:40 AM Tweet TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By Ben Potter AgWeb Social Media and Innovation Editor Email Precision agriculture is ever-expanding into new areas of agriculture. One of the newest advancements is harnessing the power of precision ag for crop insurance purposes. Rural Community Insurance Services (RCIS) recently announced it has partnered with Ag Leader and Trimble to offer customers high-tech solutions for digital recordkeeping. Specifically, farmers using Ag Leader's SMS software or Trimble's Farm Works mapping software can now submit field data electronically with RCIS' Precision Farming service. This is a crop insurance data tool that gives farmers the ability to upload planting data electronically, which will improve communication between the farmer and the agency, decrease paperwork and increase overall efficiency, says Rick Greenwood, CIO of RCIS. "As the role of technology in the farming industry continues to grow, farmers need access to improved technology to help with data management and recordkeeping," Greenwood says. "With our expanded technology platform and collaboration with Ag Leader and Trimble, RCIS provides farmers with the tools and support they need to efficiently manage risk and their business." New features include performance improvements, the ability to support a multi-file import, and training for both agents and farmers, he adds. Steve Manning, a farmer insured by RCIS, says the enhancements should prove valuable additions to what the company already provides farmers. "I look forward to seeing how their new collaboration will help me to use the data I collect during planting and harvesting, and speed up how quickly I'm able to report this information with my crop insurance agent," he says. Mike Martinez, market manager with Trimble, says another potential benefit is faster claims. "The press of a button gets the data to RCIS," he says. "The main goal here is to be a time-saver."

APPLE VALLEY � A new state prison facility for soon-to-be-released inmates is in the works for Apple Valley.
The facility will house up to 500 prisoners who have 12 months or less left on their sentences. While in the facility, prisoners will receive services such as help getting drivers licenses, health insurance, counseling for mental health issues and assistance in finding jobs before they re-enter the community.
State officials are hoping this will not only reduce prison overcrowding, but will help inmates be prepared to reintegrate into society.
"What we have now obviously is not working, so whatever we can do to help is a good thing," said Glen Pratt, deputy chief of corrections for the San Bernardino County Sheriff's department.
The facility would be located on nearly 90 acres in north Apple Valley, off of Dale Evans Parkway and Colusa Road. The property is in the town's sphere of influence but is owned by the county, who would sell it to the state.
"That property has always been planned for a jail or court facility since the county purchased it years ago," Pratt said.
All of the inmates at the proposed facility would be people who were residents of the county at the time they were convicted. Typically when parolees are released from state prisons, they are given a bus ticket to their hometown and $200. Officials said these people would be paroled locally regardless, and so the facility will not increase the number of ex-convicts living in the area. Instead, they are hoping it will prepare them to become more responsible members of the community.
Officials are also hoping the services will reduce the rate of recidivism, or the likelihood that ex-convicts will commit another crime, which currently sits at about 70 percent statewide.
"If they don't commit crimes again, we don't have to process them through the courts and jails again, which is costly for taxpayers," Pratt said. He said the county has similar programs in place in their jails, and that the recidivism rate is much lower than the state average.
Officials from the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation presented the proposal for the facility to the Town of Apple Valley during Tuesday night's council meeting. The council unanimously approved a resolution supporting the plan, saying they recognized the potential to reduce recidivism through the reintegration program.
The facility is also expected to add 350 local jobs.
The site is one of three planned in San Bernardino County, with similar facilities approved in Devore and Adelanto. Pratt said all three sites are still under review before they move forward for permitting and approval.

I haven't been to the ceramics studio in a while because I've been working on creating clay flowers, but I still had some pieces that I needed to pick up at the studio. We came home just in time to eat dinner so we immediately put our pieces to good use. Normally I would put my side dishes for our meals in generic corelle plates, but these bowls were the perfect sizes. I was telling Bernie how I felt that the food tasted so much better knowing that we were eating out of pieces of art that we created!
My father-in-law commissioned me to create a mug before he left for Korea. However, the turnaround in the studio is kind of slow so he wasn't able to see the final product after it got fired in the kiln. I tried to create a one of a kind design, but it didn't come out exactly the way I had imagined. It reminded me more of a 5th grade ceramics project, but I love it anyway because it was truly a labor of love. While I was in the process of making the design, my ceramics teacher looking at the piece with a puzzled look told me that it reminded her of a jacket that she owned. I looked at her and immediately knew that I would probably have to make another mug for my FIL. I've kind of adopted the mug myself and have been drinking out of it everyday!

(ARTICLE 19/IFEX) - 26 November 2010 - The government of Kazakhstan has failed to fulfil its commitment to improve the situation for journalists and media before its chairmanship of the OSCE ends. ARTICLE 19 and Adil Soz are concerned that the authorities have failed to promote democracy or enhance freedom of expression during their chairmanship.
Kazakhstan's government made a commitment to improve freedom of expression in the country when awarded a one year chairmanship of the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) in 2010. Its commitment included review of defamation legislation and adoption of access to information legislation. A month before the end of its OSCE Chairmanship, ARTICLE 19 and Adil Soz are concerned that the authorities have failed to fulfil these commitments.
Our concerns include the following:
• Kazakhstan's criminal defamation legislation continues to stifle criticism
The Criminal Code of Kazakhstan includes several provisions concerning libel and insult. The general norms on libel and insult are Articles 129 and 130. These provide for fines, prohibition to engage in public work, correctional labour and imprisonment for the crimes of libel and insult. In separate provisions the Criminal Code incriminates libel and insult of public officials. Article 318, 319 and 320 provide special protection for the dignity and honour of the president, MPs and state officials by setting out higher penalties than for ordinary citizens. Article 343 incriminates the libeling of a judge, prosecutor, investigator, interrogator, court marshal, or court executioner, and provides for imprisonment of up to four years.
In 2010 the General Prosecutor's Office (GPO) submitted to parliament draft legislation to decriminalise defamation. Although the draft law was never made public, different senior state officials revealed that the reform package focused only on Articles 129 and 130 of the Criminal Code. The crimes of insult and libel of the president, MPs, state officials and judges, prosecutors, investigators, interrogators, court marshals, and court executioners would remain. Parliament did not discuss or adopt any of the GPO's proposals included in the draft.
ARTICLE 19 repeatedly emphasises that criminal defamation laws are inconsistent with freedom of expression. In many countries, including Kazakhstan, criminal defamation laws are abused by the powerful to repress dissent and limit criticism. Prison sentences, suspended prison sentences, suspension of the right to express oneself through any particular form of media, or to practise journalism or any other profession, and excessive fines should never be available as sanctions for breach of defamation laws, no matter how egregious or blatant the defamatory statement. Such sanctions cannot be justified, particularly in light of the adequacy of non-criminal sanctions in redressing any harm to individuals' reputations.
Finally it is now well established in international law that under no circumstances should defamation law provide any special protection for public officials, whatever their rank or status.
• Civil defamation laws fail to meet international freedom of expression standards
Article 143 of the Civil Code of Kazakhstan, providing for protection of reputation, is problematic for free expression for several reasons. First, it does not take into account that statements of public interest justify higher protection than ordinary expression. Second, it does not provide for defence of reasonable publication like in democratic countries where it is recognised that the media can make honest mistakes if the publication is of public interest and the public's right to know cannot wait. Finally, the Civil Code contradicts international law because it fails to distinguish opinions from statements of fact, making it possible to punish people for unfavourable or negative opinions.
In 2010 the authorities made no efforts to bring the civil defamation legislation in line with international standards and secure the media the same level of freedom as in democratic states.
• Kazakhstan administrative law can be used to suppress free expression
ARTICLE 19 and Adil Soz note with concern that the Code of Administrative Offenses of Kazakhstan still contains a number of problematic provisions. Namely, it provides for administrative responsibility for insult of official persons, permission by editors to publish materials aimed at fomenting social hostility, manufacturing, storage, import and carriage of products of mass media containing information and material undermining the safety of the state, or raising social class discord and a cult of cruelty, violence or pornography, pre-determination in mass communication media of the results of a court trial of any case considered by the court, and presentation of deliberately false information and materials to mass communication media.
ARTICLE 19 and Adil Soz note that such administrative legal provisions do not exist in democratic counties. Apart from their lack of clarity or necessity, they provide for very restrictive sanctions including harsh fines, confiscation of publications, suspension and termination of broadcasting services and administrative arrest for up to several weeks. ARTICLE 19 has previously pointed out that the mere existence of these harsh sanctions has a chilling effect on freedom of expression.
At the end of 2009, the Kazakhstani government submitted a draft Code of Administrative Offences to the national Parliament to replace the existing law. Reviewing the draft Code, ARTICLE 19 commented that the problematic provisions still remain in the new Code. Despite the promises for reform, the Code of Administrative Offenses was not replaced in 2010, and still threatens free expression.
• Lack of transparency and access to information
Kazakhstan is one of the few member states of the OSCE without an access to information law. As a result, public governance remains non-transparent and unaccountable.
In 2010 supported by UNDP, a group of MPs and legal experts prepared a draft Law on Access to Public Information which was presented at an international conference in Astana. The draft law's positive features included a broad definition of the right to access information, good procedural guarantees, specific obligations of proactive disclosure, and the recognition of a right to attend public meetings. At the same time, the draft law provides for a broad regime of exceptions and fails to set up a mechanism securing the enforcement of the law. The commitment to adopt the access to information law has yet to be fulfilled.
ARTICLE 19 and Adil Soz are concerned that Kazakhstan's authorities have failed to fulfil their commitments to promote free expression and have missed the opportunity established during their 2010 OSCE Chairmanship to become a regional democratic leader.
ARTICLE 19 and Adil Soz recommend that the Kazakhstani government review its commitments to reform and do the following:
• Abolish all provisions on crimes of insult and defamation in the Criminal Code, including those protecting the president, MPs, state officials and members of the judiciary
• Revise the Civil Code to provide defences for reasonable publication and opinion
• Revise the Code of Administrative Offenses, abolishing insult of official persons, clarifying the media related offenses and reducing the sanctions
• Remove the sanction of administrative arrest for any type of expression
• Adopt the access to information law as soon as possible, ensuring that the list of exceptions for information disclosure is limited and a mechanism for enforcement of the law is set out.

HI all, just wanted to leave a quick post to let you know that I'm still here but just needed to have a little break for a couple of weeks.
I've been trying to wear way too many hats lately and it finally caught up with me in a very stressful way so unfortunately I had to let a couple of things go for a little bit and blogging was one of them.
We're currently renovating our house and the trials of that plus trying to run my own business from home while also trying to be a good attentive mother to our very active and demanding two year old and everything else that just keeps popping it's head up in life has been exhausting lately so something had to give.
I will definitely be back in a couple of days once things have settled down a bit so please stay tuned!
I hope everyone has a great weekend!

Agreed! The funeral was good but the church should've been packed out, could they not have hired another 50 extras?RockTheBoat wrote:I thought the funeral was quite touching. You could tell those tears were real. Again, it's a shame it was interspersed with another storyline. I did think the church looked quite empty though!
I liked the fact that Tracy referenced her Walkman and "playing her tapes upstairs" when she was a kid. That was a nice touch/ reference to the past!
I thought Peter was coming back for the funeral no?

Now that Facebook has rolled out their new Insights layout, it's pretty easy to see one of Facebook's core principles of communication. We "see" better than we read.

The Value of LinkedIn Endorsements

The eye can be taken a look at with relative ease as to both its function and its structure. A functional assessment consists of the ability to move in the orbit and the reaction of the student to light and lodging.
The function of the eye might be tested in numerous methods. The client may be asked to identify illuminated letter or items of varying sizes on what is known as the Snellen chart.
Alternatively, the evaluation of the structural part of the eye may be made in numerous methods. Tension within the eyeball is determined by a "tonometer." In certain diseases, especially in glaucoma, the stress in the eyeball is increased considerably.
It must be well remembered that a patient with an eye issue might have other problems. Typically other physical conditions are main and impact the eye as a repercussion. The appearance of the eye can inform the client and the physician to problems in some disturbances of other parts of the body even prior to other symptoms provide themselves.
Subsequently, one's reliance on sight is highlighted when one faces a short-term or possible long-term loss of this crucial sense. When restorative steps are sought, certain forms of vision correction such as contact lenses or glasses are prescribed.
On the other hand, some people are bothered with the fact that they have some framed lenses or contact lenses in front of their eyes.
For this factor, advanced surgeries were developed to encourage decreased utilization of contact lenses or glasses. Among which is the now popular LASIK eye surgery.
Generally, LASIK eye surgery is the brief term for "Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis." Like its tangible equivalent, LASIK eye original site surgical treatment is another form of vision correction. The only distinction is that with this type of surgery, one's vision is corrected completely.
With LASIK eye surgery, the refractive errors in the cornea are completely transformed. This can be done using an "excimer laser."
The main purpose of this surgical treatment is to create a threadlike, rounded "flap" in the cornea using a blade referred to as "microkeratome." In a series of unfolding and laser processing, the cornea is finally reformed, allowing much better try this website the eye to direct more light into the retina.
Popularity vs. Disadvantages
Amidst the growing popularity of LASIK eye surgical treatment, there are still disadvantages that people should know. Probably, the primary reason this kind of eye surgery has actually become well accepted is due to the fact that the majority of its cases had actually achieved success.
However, in spite of its success, there are still some disadvantages. Here is the list:
1. It is an operation applied to the most delicate part of the eye
Because LASIK eye surgery includes the operation of the retina, which is among the most sensitive portions of the eye, the majority of people say that the operation can be very risky.
To puts it simply, a simple error could practically trigger an person's lifetime blindness. Thus, it is very important to think about numerous elements before deciding whether LASIK eye surgery is the best restorative procedure one needs to go through.
2. It is not a ideal procedure
LASIK eye surgery might remedy your vision however it does not necessarily indicate that it can provide you a ideal vision. Even if analytical reports reveal that 70% of my explanation the patients may have 20/20 vision, this does not always suggest they have ideal vision.
Given 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 method the majority of people view it
Conversely, the assessment of the structural part of the eye may be made in numerous methods. It should be well kept in mind that a client with an eye problem might have other issues. Frequently other physical conditions are main and affect the eye as a consequence. The look of the eye can notify the doctor and the patient to problems in some disturbances of other parts of the body even prior to other symptoms present themselves.
Like its concrete equivalent, LASIK eye surgery is another type of vision correction.

Challenge: Large temperature differentials, constant ice build-up, doors jamming, high traffic flow
Door Model: TNR model HDT, High Traffic Doors
Blast freezers provide a unique door challenge to rolling steel, overhead and even fabric doors. The temperatures are usually in the range of -10° F on the warm side to a subfreezing temperature of -30° to -40° F on the cold side.
These low temperatures are needed to ensure that the products remain frozen during transportation abroad. Unfortunately, such low temperatures also cause icing problems on conventional doors. The doors jam and ice builds up on the panels creating headaches and safety issues for the owner.
Door Size & Quanitity
Door Size & Quantity
Door Size (16' – 0" x 17' – 0"), 4 doors
TNR Solution
TNR Industrial Doors can solve these difficult issues with their model HDT door. The door has a heavy duty low temperature 0.25" thick EPDM rubber curtain that is rated for continuous use at -40° to -50° F. The EPDM curtain remains flexible and straightens quickly to enter the guides during the closing cycle. Ice does not build up on this curtain the same way it does on conventional products.
Other items that need to be included in the order for proper operation of the door are:
- A BMH rectifier to keep the brake warm and frost free
- Synthetic oil and a heat probe in the gear box, and
- A heater strip in the limit box and the wall mounted panel.

Jobs will be created at a Warton aerospace plant as BAE Systems prepares to take on 710 apprentices across the UK this year – the highest intake in the company's history.
It surpasses the record set last year by 142 places and includes 45 places for apprentices who will eventually join companies in BAE Systems' supply chain or work in local engineering companies, funded under the government's employer ownership programme.
The new recruits, two-thirds of who will be employed in engineering-related roles, will work across 14 of BAE Systems' aerospace, security and defence sites around the UK and join the company in September.
A total of 83 apprentice and 51 higher apprentice roles will be required for the military aircraft design and production sites in Warton, as well as at Brough in Yorkshire and Yeovil, Somerset.
An additional 25 apprentices will be trained for supplier companies in the North West.
