Imagine the smell of warm cookies wafting in the air. I can tell you that everything will be much more forgiving after you smell this enticing aroma.
As many righteous people said if you want to do a dessert, do it correctly!!
I did what I was told..
I present to you a perfection in a chocolate chip cookie with ice cream.
The chocolate, cookies and ice cream itself already part of my dessert hall of fame, which make this combo are even harder to beat.
The easiest bit of making this concoction is the used of a shop bought ice cream, where you can pick any flavour that you prefer from the icy cold shelf at your nearest supermarket and don't even bother of getting yourself into all the troubles.
But, if you are a perfectionist and don't mind in getting into all of the trouble to make your own ice cream, please.. be my guess.. :)
Back on to the business..
There is no cookies recipe that will please everybody, since you might like a crisp cookie, while I like my cookie to be soft in the center and slightly crisp on the outside. I like the cookie to be rather big than small *greedy*. Etc..Etc..Etc..
So what is the perfect cookie like? I can't even answer that question.
But if you come to me and ask, do you have a secret that you hold deeply and closely to your heart for a perfect slightly crisp on the outside, and soft within the cookie, I can safely say I have the ANSWER.
I guard this recipe with my heart and soul, and it always.. always...works to safe and heal me from the worst day of life! * I can get emotional when I talk about cookie! and it's normal! ^^*
So here is the recipe
Chocolate Chip Cookies
Adapted from King Arthur Flour
140 g light brown sugar
130 g sugar
110 g unsalted butter, room temperature
110 g shortening (I used lard, you can use veggie shortening)
3/4 tsp salt
2 tsp vanilla
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp vinegar
1 egg
300 g chocolate chip (milk, or dark whatever you fancy)
240 g plain flour
1. Pre-heat the oven 180C
2. Combine brown sugar, caster sugar, butter, shortening, salt, vanilla, baking powder, vinegar, incorporate them well
3. Add the egg, and mix well
4. Add the flour, and chocolate chip mix well
5. If you want to make 9-10 cm in diameter cookies, use an ice cream scoop or make a ball out of the dough about 5 cm in diameter.
6. Flatten them slightly, and bake for 15 minutes
5. If you want to make 6 cm in diameter cookies, use an ice cream scoop or make a ball our of the dough with 3-3.5 cm in diameter.
6. Flatten them slightly, bake for 15 minutes
7. Let it cool slightly on its own tray for 5-10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
8. Transfer the cookies to an air tight container.
I have to warn you that this cookie will be slightly firmer, so if you find that it's a bit hard after a day. Don't worry :) It still taste amazingly good.
8. Transfer the cookies to an air tight container.
I have to warn you that this cookie will be slightly firmer, so if you find that it's a bit hard after a day. Don't worry :) It still taste amazingly good.
Hope you enjoy your weekend, and Happy Halloween too from Mr. Fredricksen ( papercraft toy can be found here)
Until then,

Product Description
Champ S+ RTF (HBZ5400)
Champ S+ Overview
Whether you've never flown RC before or you got your first taste of flying with a multirotor drone, the revolutionary HobbyZone Champ S+ RTF makes it easier than ever to learn to fly an RC airplane. That's because it's equipped with Horizon Hobby's exclusive SAFE Plus technology providing the same kind of self-leveling stability and GPS guidance used in advanced drones that can cost thousands of dollars or more.
SAFE Plus drone technology can land the airplane for you, keep you from flying too far away, and even lets you virtually "pause" the flight and circle by itself on command. SAFE Plus also includes three flight modes that allow you to learn at your own pace by preventing you from over-controlling the airplane and allowing you to perform basic aerobatic maneuvers when you're ready.
When activated, the advanced AutoLand function puts the Champ S+ on a stabilized approach to autonomously land near the takeoff point. When flying in rougher conditions, you can provide some directional guidance and let the system do the rest to execute a safe landing.
Holding Pattern
Push a button, and the Champ S+ will automatically fly to a point near its takeoff location and circle at an altitude of approximately 65 feet. Once the command is cancelled, you have full control of the aircraft and can continue to fly.
Virtual Fence
It's easy to accidentally let an RC airplane get too far away, but with Virtual Fence worry no more because it creates a virtual boundary the airplane won't fly past. When the Champ S+ encounters the Virtual Fence, it automatically turns around inside the boundary and wags the wings letting you know you have control again.
Panic Recovery
If you ever lose control of the Champ S+, just switch to beginner mode and release the control sticks. SAFE® Plus technology will return the aircraft to level flight.
Flight Envelope Protection
Pitch and roll limits keep the Champ S+ from entering into extreme flight attitudes and conditions.
Works automatically to stabilize the Champ S+ with the sophistication of 3-axis gyros to help battle the influence of turbulence on windy days.
Technical Notes
- The GPS unit in the Champ S+ may require 90 seconds or more to acquire a GPS satellite. The plane must be outdoors and will not function until the GPS signal is locked. Please refer to page 12 of your manual further details on disabling GPS features for indoor flight.
Champ S+ Features
- Exclusive SAFE Plus drone technology from Horizon Hobby

A bevy of bollywood beauties graced the first day of the ongoing India International Jewellery Week (IIJW) 2014, in Mumbai. The fashion extravaganza showcases the breathtaking pieces of jewellery by some prominent designers.
Bollywood actress, Neha Dhupia was the showstopper for Gitanjali Gems. The actress was decked with fine rubies and diamonds to match with her heavy bright pink lehenga. Her wrists were also heavy with diamond bangles and so was her forehead with a mantikka!
Ankita Shorey walks on the ramp displays Jewellery design by Queenie Singh during the India International Jewellery Week The actress decked her hair with fresh flowers and her arms of sheer were beautifully decorated with fine pieces of jewels. Moreover, even her forehead and neckline was highlighted with rich diamonds and emeralds.

Most weekends I like to look for K (my fav brunch buddy) especially when I find new and interesting cafes. My trip to Hash was no different. So K, R, D and I set out to the city to try this new place. Located on Hardware Lane, its one of the signature Melbourne styled "side lane" cafes. It's a quiet and raw atmosphere.
I actually came here for the hot chocolate. So once we sat down, we got straight to business and ordered our drinks. K and I both got the hot chocolate, R and D got their usual latte. The latte was smooth and milk was just the right temperature.
The hot chocolate here comes with turkish fairy floss and you pour the the liquid chocolate into the fairy floss. The chocolate is very rich and the fairy floss was more a novelty and didn't add much sweetness. I would suggest when pouring the hot mork chocolate into the cup, you aim for the centre, otherwise as the rairy floss melts, it might get a tad messy. If you are one who doesn't favour decantdent, rich chocolate then pace yourself through this one. The chocolate is intense and hits you with a punch.
R and D voth got scallops , chrizo egg combo. This was a simple spread of seared scallops, fried egg, chirizo and fried egg. I found it interesting to see scallopsmon a breakfast menu. I liked the taste combination, but it was a little on the small side. The boys were still a bit peckish afterwards.
K and I got 2 sweet things to share as we had difficulty deciding (as usual). First one was the rice pudding. This was done in brulee style, with torched sugar on top to give it the hard, crystalized, sweet top. The rice pudding underneath came with poached pear and pistachio. I found the rice pudding to be quite aromatic from the cardamom and quite enjoyable. I found the burlee top to be too sweet for my liking but K happily inhaled all of it for me.
Our other dish was the banana pecan loaf. I am a big fan of banana bread/loaf combinations at breakfast (sorry waistline) so when l saw this on the menu there was no question that we were going to order it. The banana loaf here is served with macadamias, milk crumbs, blueberries and burnt honey mascarpone white chocolate custard. The loot war soft in the centre with a crispy top, just the way l like it. There was a lot of flowers on the plate, l would have preferred more berries over flowers, but l must say, the flowers do make the presentation a lot more prettier.
Overall 15/20 I liked the creativity in the menu, the food and drinks were decent. I would visit again if I am nearby.

Policies and Inn Information
We will do everything possible to make your stay most enjoyable. To ensure you will have a very pleasant experience at Christopher's Bed and Breakfast, we have established the following policies. Please take a few minutes to review these policies and feel free to contact us if you have any questions.
Inquiries and Booking Information
To reserve the room of your choice, we offer two convenient ways for you to contact us:
Our on-line reservation system allows you to check availability and book rooms, packages and specials 24-hrs a day. When making an on-line reservation, the room is removed from inventory to prevent duplicate reservations. If we're away from the property and you call us to make a reservation, there is a chance that another guest may reserve on line for the same room and date. While we're away from the property, it may not be possible to close out the inventory in a timely manner to prevent your requested room from being reserved by another guest. Should there be an on-line reservation, the on-line reservation will be considered the confirmed reservation.
To reach us by phone, please call (859) 491-9354 in the greater Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky area or toll free at 888-585-7085 between 10 am and 9 pm EST. After hours will go to a voice mail system and we'll get back to you during our regular business hours. Please remember that you are calling our home and not a hotel with a front desk. If you're a late-night web surfer, please utilize our website and on-line reservation system to obtain answers to your questions and book your reservation.
Room Rates:
Rates listed on www.christophersbb.com are the most current, up-to-date rates on the Internet and are the rates that will be charged regardless of what may be found on another website. Other websites may not be maintained by Christopher's where we have no control over the timeliness of rate updates. Rates listed are based on double occupancy. These rates do not include taxes and are subject to change.
Our prices and policies may vary for special events, holiday periods, and group bookings. The rates listed for each room represent our standard range of rates for that room. Midweek discounts may be available during certain times of the year and will be shown when booking online. Please inquire if booking over the phone.
During holiday periods and special events, we do not redeem gift certificates, accept any type of discounts, specials or coupon offers. Reservations and gift certificates are non-transferable.
A $25 charge per additional guest per night applies to all guest rooms (maximum 1 additional guest per room).
We welcome extended stays. Ask about our discounted rates for Business Travelers and Extended stays. Corporate rates are offered based on only one guest per room and are not available during weekends, special events or holidays. Additional guests are $25 per night.
Confirming a Reservation For the Inn
Advance reservations are required and the Inn does not accept walk-in guests. Last minute reservations (less than 24 hours prior to arrival) should be made by phone only.
A confirmed reservation for a one-night stay must be paid in full, including applicable taxes. A confirmed reservation for two or more nights requires a 50% deposit of the total stay, including taxes. The balance of your stay is due upon check-in. We must have a valid credit card number on file at the time of your booking, even if you are paying the balance by other means.
The preferred methods of payment to Christopher's are by major credit card, gift certificate or cash. Only corporate checks will be accepted.
We will charge your credit or debit card for one night's stay as a deposit toward your stay. If for any reason your card is declined, we cancel your reservation and place the room back in our inventory and notify you via e-mail. You will need to submit a new reservation with a valid credit card number. Any remaining balance will be due at time of check-in via credit card, cash or traveler's checks. Please remember that with an advance guaranteed reservation, we are making a commitment to provide you with a reserved room and you are agreeing to our Inn's terms regarding our cancellation policies as outlined below.
Check In/Check Out
CHECK IN: 4:00-8:00 pm EST
CHECK OUT: 11:00 am EST
Please let us know your estimated arrival time so we can staff accordingly. Should you need to arrive outside of the check-in window, please contact us at least 48 hours prior to your arrival to see if the Inn is able to accommodate your request.
For same-day reservations, please call us at 888-585-7085 or 859-491-9354. We will accept same-day reservations until 4 pm.
Cancellation Policy for the Inn
Making a reservation at a bed and breakfast is not the same as making a hotel reservation. Christopher's Bed and Breakfast is a small property where every guest reservation made is both important and special to us and last minute changes or cancellations significantly affect our business. When you reserve a room, we agree to turn away all other requests for that room and you agree to pay the rate quoted for the number of days you reserve it. A last minute cancellation gives us little chance of re-booking a room. For this reason we uphold a strict cancellation policy:
Guests are responsible for payment of all nights reserved regardless of their actual arrival or departure date. Guests who need to depart prior to their reservation end date will be expected to honor their reservation commitment. No-shows are also responsible for full payment of their entire reservation.
Cancellation of a confirmed reservation must be made 7 or more days prior to your scheduled arrival to receive a refund. All cancellations are subject to a $25.00 administrative processing fee per room, per night.
Reservations during holidays or special events require a 30-day cancellation notice prior to your arrival date for a refund minus a $25.00 administrative processing fee per room, per night.
While we understand that situations do arise, in the unlikely event that you must cancel your reservation within 7 days of your arrival, you will be responsible for the price of your entire reservation. This policy applies for reservations regardless of when the reservation was made. There are no exceptions to this policy including sickness, family emergencies or weather related issues.
In the event you need to change or reschedule your reservation to another date when your room is available, please do so 7 days or more in advance of your arrival to avoid a $25 administrative fee.
30 Days Notice of Cancellation is Required for These Circumstances:
A group booking of two or more rooms.
Major holiday reservations include the Valentine's Day holiday period, Good Friday through Easter Sunday, the July 4th holiday period, Labor Day weekend, Thanksgiving Eve thru the Saturday following Thanksgiving, and December 23rd through January 2nd.
Payment for rooms during these events are due in full 30 days prior to event dates.
Smoking and Candle Usage:
Due to the historic nature of our building, and for the safety and comfort of all of our guests, we do not allow smoking or incense/candle burning in any of our guest rooms. Inn guests smoking in the house or in the guest rooms will be charged a minimum $200 fee and any costs to return the room(s) to a non-smoking status. Smoking is allowed outdoors in a designated smoking area.
Guests, Children and Pets at the Inn
We cater to the comfort, privacy and security of our registered guests. Guest visitors are only permitted on the property with prior Innkeeper approval. If you would like to have any non-registered guests join you for breakfast there is an additional charge of $15 per person and advance notice to the innkeeper is required.
Christopher's is regarded as a quiet escape and romantic getaway for most of our guests, and we work hard to foster that environment. Since Christopher's is a renovated church with original stained-glass windows, we cannot accept children under 12 years of age.
In consideration of our guests and those who are sensitive to pet allergies, we regret that we are not able to accommodate guest pets. The Innkeepers' cat is confined to the owners' quarters.
Wedding Night Stays
If you are booking a stay for your wedding night, please be advised that our guest rooms, common areas and grounds are for our registered guests only. In consideration of other registered guests, we cannot accommodate family and friends to use any guest room or any part of the Inn or grounds for bridal party wedding preparations and photographs.
Massage Appointments
Christopher's offers in-room massages with our visiting licensed massage therapist. We recommend that you call the Inn to make your massage appointment(s) with as much advance notice as possible. Appointments must be cancelled 48 hours in advance to avoid full charge.
Breakfast Times
On the weekends, a full breakfast is usually served at 9:00 a.m. We are happy to accommodate earlier or later times if arranged in advance. During the week, breakfast is available at your leisure and consists of a continental plus breakfast. Please let us know of any food allergies.
Alcoholic Beverages
Christopher's does not hold a license to resell alcoholic beverages. Guests may bring their own, but for the safety and comfort of all of our guests, please drink responsibly. There are several establishments to purchase locally as well.
While reasonable wear and tear is anticipated, negligent damages found to be the responsibility of a guest will be assessed and charged to the guest. Please report all spills to the innkeepers promptly.
Lost and Found Items:
Should you leave an item behind, we will place it in a safe location until we hear from you. We will be glad to return the item via regular U.S. Mail for the cost of the postage plus a $5.00 service fee charged to your credit card on record.
Christopher's Bed and Breakfast is privately owned and owner-occupied. The owners reserve the right to refuse service or accommodations to anyone for any lawful reason. Any behavior on the part of guests that affect the safety or peaceful enjoyment of other guests may result in eviction without refund.

This study deals with the amphibians (newts, toads and frogs) and squamate reptiles (amphisbaenian, lizards and snakes) bone remains proceeding from the 1993-1999 washing-sieving campaigns in the river Arlanzon in Atapuerca. Nearly 5.5 tones of sediment have been processed from the excavation-test of Gran Dolina (levels TD5 to TD10), an excavation realized in order to evaluate the potential of the locality and that furnished the first remains of Homo antecessor in the TD6 level. The material corresponds approximately to 40.000 fossils attributed to 22 taxons (genus and species).Some drawings of amphibian fossil remains from Gran Dolina, Atapuerca, made by H.-A. Blain. It is a matter of midwife toad, western spadefoot, natterjack toad, european toad and common frog.
This work (based o part of the Ph.D. thesis of the first author) constitutes the first intent to reconstruct past landscape of the Sierra de Atapuerca during the early to middle Pleistocenes using amphibian and aquamate reptile assemblages.
The reconstructed landscape along the sequence of Gran Dolina has been compare with the data from other palaeoenvironmental proxies as small-mammals (rodents, shrews, bats, and rabbits), palynology (pollen and spores) and geomorphology
Meticulous sieving-washing of the excavated sediment in order that no fossil goes unnoticed, small though it was - Jordi Mestre / IPHES
From: Blain H.-A., Bailon, S. & Cuenca-Bescós, G. (2008): The Early-Middle Pleistocene palaeoenvironmental change based on the squamate reptile and amphibian proxy at the Gran Dolina site, Atapuerca, Spain. Palaeogeography, Palaeoclimatology, Palaeoecology, 261 (1-2): 177-192.
The analyze of the evolution of the biodiversity (taxonomical associations) of reptiles and amphibians during approximately 600.000 years (from 900.000 to 300.000 years) in Gran Dolina has permitted to show that permanent aquatic and humid habitats ever been present in the vicinity of the site. However during the warmest periods, more open and dryer biotopes are best represented, whereas during cold periods humid meadows and woodland are predominant.

One of the first my husband did after realizing that he had mercury poisoning from his fillings was to check the teeth that were filled. He examined them for any cracks, while this allows more mercury into your system just every day normal drinking and eating activity to release the mercury from your teeth into your system. You can view the video on the videos page entitled "Smoking Teeth."
My husband than went to our dentist to have one tooth removed which he felt was the worst, the dentist said there was nothing wrong with the tooth and would not pull it. Through his good friend Karen the owner of Natural Affects in Jackson Tennessee told him about a dentist who could help him. Karen is very educated in what she does and the store is her ministry which she uses to help others. She also started him detoxing at her store, this is one of the best ways to remove mercury from your system. He was also told to start taking the following, Chlorella, Trace Mineral Maintenance, and Vitamin D.
He went to the dentist who also dealt with mercury poisoning, and had all of the silver fillings removed and replaced. You need to find a holistic dentist to perform this procedure in order to make sure it is done right. I have placed a video on the video page entitled, "Safe Mercury Amalga Removal," you can Google holistic dentists in your state which will pull up results or if you have a health store nearby that you trust ask there. Also note that many personally owned health stores do detoxing on the premises, my husband paid $25 for a session. While it takes time to work, my husband was healthier after about a year.
You can also purchase a detoxer on Ebay for about $110, we paid $130 which included two extra arrays. The foot bath machine pictured is currently selling on Ebay for $100 used however, I used this picture because it similar to the one we have. Also be aware that this is not for everyone, if you have the following you should not use it.
Battery/electrical powered devices such as a pacemaker.
If you have had an organ transplant
If you are pregnant or currently nursing
Suffer from heart disease
Suffer from epileptic seizures
Hypoglycemic users should eat and check levels before use.
If you have open wounds or damaged skin on your feet or any part that would be submerged into the water.
I also want you to be aware that Chlorella is a natural detoxifier and cause stomach upset, diarrhea, and in some cases has caused sever vomiting. The product we use says to take 3, 400 mg, three times a day however, I just started taking it my self and currently take one a day. You need to eat before you take this, and while I heard that it is not effective unless the proper dosage is taken I believe it is working due to a change in bowel movements.
To learn more about Chlorella, read the free online book.

Artist Debra Cartwright
I cannot stop looking at Debra Cartwright's soulful watercolor portraits. Her work is sublime. Last year I wrote about water colorist, Jay Bailey, and since then, I've been trying my hand at watercolor portraits. I haven't been very successful, but at least I'm giving it a go. But Cartwright's work is so inspiring, thoughtful, empowering and fun. Her work makes me want to re-commit to working in watercolor. See more of her work and read about her here:

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. Senate Intelligence Committee leaders urged lawmakers on Monday to remove a provision from the agreement to end the government shutdown that would allow President Donald Trump's administration to spend intelligence money not explicitly authorized by Congress.
Senators Richard Burr, the committee's Republican chairman, and Mark Warner, its Democratic vice chairman, spoke in the Senate against the provision that they said could diminish lawmakers' oversight of U.S. intelligence agencies.
Burr called the provision "troublesome."
Burr and Warner spoke as lawmakers moved toward a final vote on legislation to renew federal funding to the government. The measure, which would reopen the government through Feb. 8, cleared a procedural hurdle in the Senate on Monday afternoon but must still pass the Senate and House of Representatives before it can become law.
It was not immediately clear whether the matter would delay the Senate's final vote on the new funding plan.
"We want every tool in our basket that we can to give the American people the assurance that we know exactly what's going on, and that we are at least in agreement that (intelligence operations) proceed forward, not that they have a free rein," Burr said.
Burr and Warner requested that the language in the bill be replaced with a measure written by leaders of congressional intelligence committees, but the effort was rejected. Burr ended the discussion "with great disappointment."
White House officials did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Information for Parents
College success increasingly relies on continued parental support
There is a great expectation and exultation – as well as more than a little nervousness – awaiting both child and parent as preparations for college begin in earnest.
Here are some tips to keep in mind:
Embrace conflicting emotions
They've lived under your wing and under your roof for 18 years. Just as high school has been a time for your child to assert his/her independence, the start of college is another important rite of passage. Your child will demonstrate all the ups and downs that one would expect with a major life change. The past will sometimes tug hard, and compete with, the present. Remember that the previous 18 years have given both you and your child common ground to share.
Use this common ground to develop a mutually beneficial plan for college: This can include academic and social goals, as well as expectations for financial constraints/limitations/budgeting. Be clear about what are plausible goals for all of the above. Ask your student what they hope to accomplish with their college experience. Teach your child about the responsible use of credit and debit cards. Encourage them to become involved.
Evolve from direct problem solver for your child to advisor/coach:
The temptation will be great to directly involve yourself with every obstacle your student encounters in college. Although your counsel is key to your student's success, encourage them to find positive solutions on their own. There are numerous campus resources, such as the advising center, counselors, tutoring, available to help. Familiarize yourself with the University's resources so you, too, can become a resource for success.
Communicate enough to stay in the loop
Cell phone calls, email, texting and instant messaging are all at your disposal. Use all of these channels, but don't overdo it. This will be one of the busiest times in your child's life. Keep in touch, but don't turn regular communication into a chore for your student.
They care more about what you're saying than they're letting on: You've been the anchor throughout the first 18 years, and although roles will evolve during college, remember that your child will always look to you for encouragement as they make the journey toward adulthood and independence. Whether they are seeking your advice or simply wanting you to listen, keeping connected and engaged with your student while they're in college is important.
Conversation killer — How was your day?
Remember how difficult it was to mine information from your student when they were in high school? Closed-ended questions such as "How was your day?" could often lead to one-word cul-de-sacs such as, "Fine," or "OK." When you talk to your student about college, focus less on grades and more on courses. Invite them to share new ideas, intellectual theories or newly discovered passions they've embraced. Who knows? You might learn something, too.
Remember that college today is different: Times change in 20 or 25 years. The odds are good that the Getchell Library of 1985 at the University of Nevada, Reno is vastly different than today's Mathewson-IGT Knowledge Center. Again, it's best to listen and discover the subtleties of experience, through what your child tells you.
Finally: You should expect change to occur over the next four years
Have patience, smile and laugh with your student often. Enjoy the ride.

UNILAG alumni empower students to create jobs
The University of Lagos (UNILAG) Alumni Association has empowered five final year students of the institution with N500,000 to enable them start up businesses of their choice.
The empowerment scheme, organised in partnership with the student affairs division and Guaranty Trust Bank Plc., was to develop entrepreneurial spirit in students during their stay on campus.
The beneficiaries included Eric Okorugbo of the Department of Zoology and Mariam Olatunji of the Mass Communication Department among others.
Speaking at the award ceremony in Lagos, the association's National President, Olorogun Sonny Kuku, said the body was demonstrating with the gesture that life after acquisition of tertiary education was not limited to white collar jobs, but also entails identifying other viable means of income.
A statement by the National Publicity Secretary, Francis Shonubi, quoted the president as imploring government at all levels to set up more entrepreneurial schools and make facilities available for the populace to go into small-scale businesses thus creating jobs for themselves and bettering their lot in the long run.

Sedalia Center held its annual Blues Festival last weekend on a sweltering Saturday afternoon and evening. The afternoon featured blues bands and soloists competing for cash prizes and the opportunity to represent the Sedalia Blues Society at the International Blues Challenge in Memphis, Tenn., next winter. The evening featured Trampled Under Foot and Stacy Brooks. Brooks won last year's talent competition at Sedalia.

Members note that quilting was once a way to turn odds and ends of fabric into warm bed coverings. Today, it's turned into an art form and many creative efforts are on display.

RICHMOND — A judge has dismissed a lawsuit filed by convicted murderer Jens Soering, who had challenged Gov. Bob McDonnell's authority to rescind consent for Soering to be transferred from a Virginia prison to his native Germany.
Soering, the son of a German diplomat, is serving two life sentences for his role in the 1985 murders of his girlfriend's parents, Derek and Nancy Haysom, in Bedford County.
Don Owen is committed to saving Bedford's history.
One rescue was the building where American National Bank has its Bedford Branch on North Bridge Street. The building had been gutted by fire before Owen purchased and restored it.
Now, he's working on the empty building on 122 South Bridge Street, most recently the home of a book store.
"The city was going to condemn it," said Owen.
A delegation from the Elks' governing board is in Bedford this week going over the Elk's National Home.
Resolutions passed at the fraternal organization this year authorized the board to look at options on what to do with the home. These options include partnering with other organizations, selling the home or closing it.

Popular fiction writer, Patrick Glover, is renowned for his womanising. But with two daughters, a nanny, ex-wife, and on-off relationship with his publisher Georgie to look after - not to mention new novels to pen - he rarely gets the time any more.
Ever eager to maintain a principled figure in his daughters' eyes and to save Nanny from embarrassment, Patrick finds himself more often than not at the receiving end of a terribly awkward series of misunderstandings.
Controlling two teenage daughters really is more than he can handle, and when he puts his foot down there is usually something beneath it - faithful dog H.G. Wells if he's unlucky!

Getting the most out of production tax credits
EmptyWith 29 U.S. states now offering film and TV production tax incentives, producers can find money-saving shooting locales all across America, as well as in Canada and Eastern Europe. But, for many, the surplus of options has simply made making the right choice more difficult. Sensing a need in the marketplace, outside consultants are stepping forward to help producers sort through the ever-shifting mountain of credits and rebates, as well as liaise with studios, production-services companies, tax-credit brokers and film commissions.
"Even studios that have all of these people sitting in the back office that are supposed to be experts have been guilty of making the decision to go to these places to take advantage of a credit only to find that they don't qualify for it after they've gone there and spent a lot," says John Hadity, president and CEO of John Hadity & Assoc., an independent firm specializing in film and TV production planning and financing. "That doesn't happen often, but it has happened, and it's embarrassing."
Two of the companies helping producers grapple with tax incentives are Entertainment Partners and Axium International, both of which specialize in entertainment-payroll services. "For anyone who's working with us as a payroll client, we provide whatever service they need to take advantage of the incentives," says Joseph Chianese, who left his post as senior director of tax at Sony Pictures in September to join Entertainment Partners as vp business development and production incentives. "But we're also offering our tax consulting and administration services as a separate business, both on a retainer basis or on a monthly or annual-fee basis."
At Axium, advice is doled out on a more informal basis.
"We don't do it as a consulting business, but we will help producers," says Axium's Jeff Begun. "I get one or two calls a day from people who want to know where they should shoot, and we can explain to them that it's different depending on the budget, and it depends on when you want to shoot. Like right now, you can do a picture in New Mexico because there's a lot of crew available. A few months ago, you had a problem finding crew."
Begun helps the industry keep up to date with two free publications, "The Complete Guide to U.S. Production Incentives," which is published four to five times a year, and "The U.S. Incentives Newsletter," an e-mail update sent every two to four weeks. The process of keeping the guide current has built Begun's relationships with film commissions and local governments around the country, and he now finds himself being called on to help with the tax incentives themselves.
"I think the biggest mistake they make is making it so only in-state people qualify because what happens is most of these states don't have anybody with training," Begun says. "That's the big thing we did up in Wisconsin. We showed them if they'd allow out-of-state people to come in for two years, use that time for training people, and then phase it down and say, OK, after two years, you can only have half your people from out of state,' they end up bringing in a lot more people in and actually build up an industry."

Hi Everyone !!! Sam here again.
WOW!!! how cold has it been ? perfect weather for staying inside and creating.
This month we got to play with the We R Memory Keepers " Tres Elegant " range. This range has beautiful soft colours in tones of apricot and green. With all my cards this month i chose to feature the beautiful flowers from Green Tara and the Prima Shabby Chic Treasures.These gorgeous little lovelies go perfectly on your cards as well as your pages.
The first card I created this month features the prima resin arched mirror set. this set includes 2 corner flourishes with the focal arched window. I simply traced the window onto a double matted card and cut it out using a craft knife. I then embellished the card using Green Tara roses, Kaiser flowers and a hatpin. Add a sentiment and your done !
Card number 2 was simple to make but very sweet , i used the Lacey patten down the edge of the page and continued it all over using a hole punch and craft knife. I used the Prima resin ceiling rose to embellish and topped it off with flowers and a co ordinating sentiment sticker.
Card 3 is matted a co ordinating sticker onto cardstock and cut around it . using Zots i mounted it to the card and embellished using Kaiser pearls, Green Tara flowers and chipboard corners
Card 4 : I used an acrylic bird shape , attached co ordinating cardstock using glossy accents and trimmed around the edge. embellished again with Green Tara flowers and kaiser pearls, stickers from the Tres Elegant range and Prima resin embellishments, This card is simple yet elegant.
Hope you like these cards as much as i had fun creating them. Don't forget all of the Page 2 Girls projects are on display in Store. Thanks for reading .......Sam :)

It was a bad day on Friday, not the day itself but the weather turned nasty at around two o'clock. I have to confess I didn't get out of bed until almost one o'clock after four separate three-hour periods of sleep. My sleep patterns are all over the place recently but I guess I am getting the sleep I require. It would be nice however to be able to sleep for six hours in one go. I almost never sleep beyond five hours in one go. E had been up for some time and was just finishing her lunch when I came downstairs to have mine. Obviously there would be no breakfast so I had the remainder of the chicken and vegetable stew I had prepared a couple of days earlier. The large bowl was enough to satisfy my hunger. E went out just as I had finished eating, she was off to see her mom again perhaps to do some shopping or sort out some Christmas presents. She spends Christmas day afternoon at her mom's house as do the rest of the family I think. I never get invited but it isn't a real problem as I don't observe Christmas anyway. I repeat that I am a Christian just in case some of my readers were thinking otherwise. Just as she was leaving the house the heavens opened and the rain began to pelt down. The wind had picked up too and it was blowing a gale. It had been forecast days before. This particular storm had been named 'Barbara' and its path took it to the north of the UK, that is the centre of the storm went along that path. The winds lessened the further south from it but even at our latitude it was still strong. We had enjoyed rather mild weather for the season up until that point so we couldn't complain I suppose but it didn't last long, a couple of days and we would be back to more settled weather. I had thoughts of going out perhaps for a meal on Friday but I decided against the idea because of the poor weather. There would be another opportunity in the days ahead if I wanted to go somewhere. One thing I really wanted to do over the holiday period was to get out into the gardens and do some work. At the time of writing this on Friday afternoon it looks as though that opportunity will be a long way off unless the weather improves.

Simple Banner Photos
When creating and designing a new website, the use of a banner photo is often a great starting spot. While PhotoShop can be a great program to use for intricate banner photos, I found a site that is pretty useful for simpler banners photos that can still be quite effective. This website is http://www.bannerfans.com/banner_maker.php, and it contains an interface that is pretty simple to use and understand. Just to give you an idea, here is a list of some of the features that are included in the website.
– Size the photo by declaring width and height, can include a border as well
– A color scheme, as well as some options on a suitable color gradient
-Allows the use of multiple lines of text, that can be individual positioned and sized
– The style of font, color of the text, as well as shadowing behind the text
-Will provide either a .jpeg, .png, or .gif file extension.
Here is an example of an end product:

Bartlett Car Coat
Add to Favorites
Full Description
This car coat was based on one of her well-loved sweaters from last season. The only problem with the sweater is that it is already too small. I designed this car coat to have plenty of room to play hard and to last more than one season.
