New! For the holidays...
I am already starting to work on Holiday stuff can you believe it? I guess I'm thinking ahead, trying to get ready for the season of shows soon to come. I put out these ornaments yesterday at the Crafty Bastards Show, which totally rocked, and I just about sold out of the dove. Only one left! Good thing I have many more waiting for me to finish up in the studio! I am also thinking about turning some into pendants, I love chunky necklaces!

Give honor today, if not every day. Be thankful for the sacrifices that were made for us.
Out of the Indian approach to life there came a great freedom, an

I chose not to add this part into the previous post because it was just so positive and happy... so let's leave 2015 where it was and move forward...
Regardless - still need to deal with a few things from last year, namely external results analysis.
I wrote a few things down today - the need to be more focused with time management, assess on time and mark work quickly. All things I try every year.
But this year will be different. Because we as a cohort in our dept will be working together to make sure we all hit the deadlines for assessments. This is what I've missed from MHS.
This level of clarity and strictness in the deadlines is what I personally need so that I can ensure I'm not being too lenient with students.
After all my thinking about needing to be MORE and better and all of that... I read this: http://thecornerstoneforteachers.com/2016/01/enough.html
It seriously floored me. Exactly what I needed to hear and what I wish I had heard when I was a newbie teacher. Okay... maybe I heard it but I didn't really take it in. I've always tried to be the martyr, struggling and pushing myself and these students up hills they didn't know they could climb. But like I said a few posts ago... they have to have some motivation too.
Am finally feeling my eyes drooping. :) Looking forward to meeting our new Y9s tomorrow :)

This crystal wave terrarium is a feng shui karma cleanser that will balance and revitalize the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual planes. Featuring a large crystal quartz cluster set atop a slope of white sand, the clusters of black river stones and air plants create a serene landscape inside a plate glass rectangular box. Dimensions: 4" height x 4" width x 20" length. Terrariums are unique living landscapes so finished pieces may vary. Feng shui terrariums bring a myriad of good chi into your life: crystal quartz cluster (also known as rock crystal) is a power stone that harmonizes and balances. Crystal quartz will amplify energy and thought, as well as the effect of other crystals and purify their energy. Crystal balances and revitalizes the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual planes. It assists with clearer thinking, helps one to know oneself, and brings clarity to communication and protects the aura. Black polished stones use color to strengthen and balance your environment. This is a key aspect of good feng shui: black (yin) is the feng shui color of emotional protection and power, symbolizing money and income. Black also helps you to focus your intention and enhance positive energy for specific areas of your life such as love, relationships, creativity, career and health.
Terrarium will need assembly. Easy detailed instructions are included.

Girl Scout Troop No. 70145 reminds residents it will sponsor a donation drive from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. Saturday, April 9, to benefit Mario's Pet Food Pantry. This event will be held at Grandpaws Pet Emporium at 402 Center St., Lewiston.
Mario's Pet Food Pantry is a pet-only food pantry operating in several locations within Niagara County. Paulette Coty founded the pantry in 2012 in honor of her late son, Mario D'Antuono, who unconditionally loved animals.
Mario's benefits military personnel, low-income families and homebound individuals. Those eligible to benefit from the pantry must provide identification, current pet vaccination records and spay/neuter certification. Although Mario's has eligibility requirements, no one is refused a donation, as long as there is enough food offered to everyone.
Girl Scout Troop No. 70145 will be present at Grandpaws Pet Emporium to collect pet donations. Donations of cat and dog food (full and partial bags accepted), cat and dog treats (full and partial bags accepted), toys, beds, blankets, towels, grooming supplies, shampoo, leashes and harnesses are greatly appreciated.
If your pet does not like a food or treat, consider donating to Mario's instead of discarding.
For more information, contact troop leader Emma Hartloff at 716-745-3256 or email [email protected].

*・゜Currently Reading*・゜
This month is going to be a bit light on the reading because I'm in the process of moving. I've fallen behind in what I want to read and review, so I'm going to need to kick it into high gear if I want to finish my goals by the end of the year! I'm hoping that once things settle down I'll be able to get back into reading two or more books a week.
*・゜Netgalley Wishlist*・゜
I actually got a lot of my wishes granted! Originally I had The Rattled Bones on this list, but as you can see, it moved! I'm hoping I get this last one granted.

I've got a fair selection of bikes - road, mtb, hybrid and tandem and whatever I ride I always try and acknowledge other riders, be it a hello or a raise of a right hand or nod if I'm on the rivet.
It amazes me the number of riders that don't extend the courtesy.
Do you give the nod ?
Views: 1361
I always nod, a bit of camaraderie can lift your spirits even when you're in the lowest depths of the knock
Absolutely. From my own experience of cycling both in the UK and on the Continent the huge majority of cyclists will give a nod, a wave, a friendly greeting or, on occasions, all three. I was in Mallorca last week and we'd stopped on a quiet country road to deal with a puncture, when a large group of Spanish flew past shouting "Bon Dia!" and "Hola!" - a nice little moment and their exuberant and friendly greetings was an expression of our shared passion for the sport.
I've noticed that most roadies give the nod, but with MTB'ers it's a bit hit and miss (even when I'm on an MTB too).
Interestingly I find it the other way round!
Been riding so many years that cycling to me is just normal activity. It's the background radiation of my life ;-) I sometimes nod, wave or whatever, but not always. I don't acknowledge what I'm doing as in any way meriting others waving at me. Especially when there's so many of us out on the roads/lanes these days.
One rule I never break though, I always stop to help if someone looks like they need it (puncture etc).
that's because they know the difference between you're and your.
I find that roadies are the worst.
A generalisation, maybe, but so many of them seem to think that they're going way too fast to acknowledge a mere female, particularly if I'm riding my hybrid. I know though that last summer I cycled 100 miles a day for 10 consecutive days (admittedly nothing record breaking) wheresas they're only doing 50 or so miles and then will go back to sitting at a desk the next day. 'Never judge a book by the bike it rides', or something like that! :)
When I ride my hybrid to work I always feel that I've got my stealth shield on with regards to other cyclists (never mind some motorists).
I think it's because I'm not wearing sports related clothing and am using my bike as a mode of transport rather than living the dream.
It's usually overweight mamils that are the worse steaming past me on their Colnago's or other piece of expensive bike that they are not using to it's full potential. I find this ironic as they are the same suspects that I ride past on our local climbs on my twenty year old Cinelli and usually give the nod too (and invariably get a response).
Yes I always nod, it can be challenging doging the traffic as a cyclist sometimes so I always like to adknowledge a fellow cyclist :)
Just got back into cycling after about 15 years and we always nodded then so it was nice to see it still happening.
Of course we should nod and say alright....its part of the cyclist code

Recently I got started working as Web Designer/Developer/Administrator for 3 websites in Thessaloniki (Pws.gr,eliteweddingphotographers.com and wedseminars.com) Developed in Drupal and Wordpress. My experience creating optical communication includes branding and after effects cinema solutions. I have consistently delivered projects on time and under budget as you'll see in my work history.

There may be a more elegant solution to this, but I wanted to count the number of times a number of sequences occur in a number of files. Replace FILES with the list of files you want to search in (e.g. *.txt) and replace PATTERNS, with a file containing the things you want to search for, one entry per line. This BASH script should do the rest.
for f in FILES;do cat PATTERNS |while read seq;do grep ${seq} ${f} |wc -l|xargs echo ${f} ${seq};done;done
It is basically two loops, one that goes through the files, the other through each line in the PATTERNS file, then it just uses xargs to output the results in a sensible order. If you don't care about the number of each individual pattern in the file but just the total the -f option to grep would be work.

Hi all,
I'm having trouble understanding this quote by Oscar Wilde. The phrase I can't seem to understand is commercial classes. Can anyone explain please?
Those who pay their bills on time are soon forgotten. It is only by not paying one's bills that one can hope to live in the memory of the commercial classes.
Thank you

Hi Guys!!
It's that time again for another review. I'm doing a spoiler free review on Rookie On Love edited by Tavi Gevinson. Since it's spoiler free, you don't need to read the book to listen to my thoughts. This post is NOT sponsored by the publisher, I received this book for review.
What's it about?
A single-subject anthology about the heart's most powerful emotion, edited by Tavi Gevinson. Featuring exclusive, never-before-seen essays, poems, comics, and interviews from contributors like Jenny Zhang, Emma Straub, Hilton Als, Janet Mock, John Green, Rainbow Rowell, Gabourey Sidibe, Mitski, Alessia Cara, Etgar Keret, Margo Jefferson, Sarah Manguso, Durga Chew-Bose, and many more!
Rookie's editor-in-chief, Tavi Gevinson, is an incredible advocate for her books. She's very much a star in her own right, as a cultural icon/influencer and more recently an actress. She's a media darling, very well connected, and always willing to use the full power of her iPhone contacts to help sell books.
Rookie gives voice to girls, encouraging them to speak up, to meet up, to make stuff. It empowers them to submit their stories, ideas, and artwork to the site and participate in media rather than letting it control them. It's a positive, supportive environment where many have felt comfortable sharing intimate details of their inner lives, particularly when it comes to love.
Who Edited It?
Tavi Gevinson is the editor-in-chief and founder of Rookie, an online magazine for teenage girls. Tavi's career in media began when she created the blog Style Rookie in 2008 at age eleven. She was profiled by The New Yorker in
2010, and in 2011, at fifteen, launched Rookie. Six days after its debut, Rookie received
more than one million pageviews. Tavi has since spoken at TEDxTeen, the
Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Sydney Opera House, The New Yorker Festival,
the Commonwealth Club of California, the University of Wisconsin's
Distinguished Lecture Series, the Brooklyn Museum, the Melbourne Writers
Festival, and The Economist's The World in 2011. Tavi is also an actress, having starred in Kenneth Lonergan's
Tony-nominated This Is Our Youth, Ivo van Hove's revival of The Crucible as Mary Warren, and most recently Stephen Karam's revival of Chekhov's The Cherry Orchard on Broadway and the Sundance darling Human People.
What's My Review?I give Rookie On Love 4/5 stars. It was a solid read and definitely had some words that will stick with me for a while. I really enjoyed the message and what it had to bring to readers and how it portrayed those meanings.
If I was younger I would've given it a higher rating because it would've been more relevant to my life. What I liked a lot abut it was that it's meant to share one thing for young readers and that is LOVE.
In the story there was a poem that really stuck with me and it's called "Afraid Of Love". What i liked so much about this story is that it really gives you insight to back when you were younger and you've been hurt so many times. Whether that would've been in high school or even middle school. It just helps you feel identified. Which is one thing we all want.
"it's not that i don't love you, it's that i don't want to hurt you."

Music is such an important part of a wedding film. It is often seen as a form of self expression and allows you to have a more emotional connection with what you are viewing. When a couple comes to us and has a vision of there wedding film we are often asked, "Can we use our favorite song?". The answer to that depends on the song. We love to accommodate all of our couples, however if it is a popular song the answer is unlikely. The licensing fees for most popular songs are expensive, and often difficult to obtain.
The thought in the past was that it was no big deal. Everyone uses unlicensed music in their wedding films, and the recording industry isn't going to do anything about it. Recently however the music industry has been quick to crack down. Joe Simon of Joe Simon Films found out the hard way, when he was hit with a law suit in the sum of $150,000. (Read more about it here)
We admit that in the past we too have used copyrighted music in our videos and figured it would be fine, until we were contacted by a recording artist demanding residuals. In the end we worked it out with the artist, but after that experience decided to change our music policy. Will we loose some couples that are dead set on using a certain song? Possibly, but ultimately it is not only the right thing to do for our business (so that we don't have to pay $150,000), it is just simply the right thing to do. We are actually glad it happened, because it has pushed us into the right direction and made us a better business. Artists deserve to be compensated for their work, and just because they are successful doesn't give us the right to steal it.
As we have begun searching for licensed music amongst unknown artists, we have been surprised just how much talent is out there. It really has made our work that much more original. In the end though it's up to you. Do you want your wedding highlight to be timeless and unique or do you want your wedding video to be the same as the 1000 other wedding videos out there?

Pregnancy loss has plagued my life for 16 years. I have written about it a little in my novel The Closet of Savage Mementos and a lot in poetry collections, most especially in my last one The Juno Charm. And I have a story called 'Storks' forthcoming in The Irish Times that is about the aftermath of miscarriage.
But today I have a short-short story (flash) in a brand new UK-based magazine for women writers called Halo. Halo is a gorgeous and welcome outlet for women and the art work for this issue is fabulous. There will be a limited number of print issues soon - keep any eye on the Halo Twitter account for more on that.
My tiny miscarriage story, 'Tilt', is on page 36. Go here.

In France it seems that there's no question whether skating is hip hop. B-boy competitions mix with BMX contests, Nas rhymes while Saint Denis youth grind. Paris' skatepark at Bercy is just another iteration of this intertwining culture.
Here the energy of young skaters is matched by raw Paris graffiti blanketing every available surface. A skater's explosive aerial tricks compete for your attention with a graff writer's eye-popping aerosol colors.
Lying at the edge of Bercy's tranquil park and in the shadow of its Palais Omnisports, the skatepark is easy to overlook. But once there, you become completely enmeshed in the grittiness of street culture. It's impossible to focus your senses anywhere else.
Graffeur Jen, whom I met at Les Frigos, first told me about the skatepark, telling me it's another major place for writers to get up. On the cold, dank afternoon I visited, I ran into PESCA who was in the middle of going over someone else's tag on the main wall. Apparently, on these walls, there's no police intervention or fear of repercussion from rival writers.
Behind him, 8 or more skaters and skateboarders casually hit the ramps, taking smoke breaks in between tricks, chatting it up with their friends or their dog. It felt more like a chill session than a training one. They were young, mostly high school age, and the park was their hang out spot.
Ironically, Bercy is the site of the oldest known human occupation in Paris, dating back to 4000 BC. In recent decades Paris has revitalized the area, transforming it into a commercial center and the home of the Ministry of Economy, Finance, and Industry.
Yet nestled at its corner is this haven from any of that, a detached shelter for the city's expressive youth. But perhaps that's the point, to draw the skaters and graff writers here and away from the public, keeping them off the city's beloved architecture. Rather than police them, enable them.
It's history is unclear to me, but I do know the park has been around since at least 2006. It was also temporarily closed in 2007 as they constructed a roof for it, providing a vital place for youth even during the crappiest of weather (much like this week's when I visited).
So there I sat with PESCA at the top of a skate ramp. He told me how Paris writers stick to bubble and block letters mostly, some 3D, but rarely wild style. I asked if he's ever been to New York, and he expressed that he wants to but like other writers here, he spends too much money smoking.
During the conversation, one of the inline skaters sped up the ramp. When he reached the summit, he launched into the air like a rocket and somersaulted over our heads. Unphased, PESCA carried on as if nothing happened while I was still sweating for my life. Here, the graff writers are used to the skaters. To them it's all the same.

In addition to these subscription methods, you can also follow with a reader via our RSS feed.
Many readers have had issues regarding our commenting system. We originally used the WordPress commenting system and had many problems with it and decided to use Disqus to handle our comments. We have had much success with Disqus and few problems.

Disqus gives you options to sign in with Facebook, Twitter, Google+ or to set up an account with Disqus.
By clicking the question mark in the Disqus box you can read what Disqus is about.
If you have a Disqus account, just click the Login button and sign in.
Some readers want to comment anonymously and dislike using their email address to set up an account. Unfortunately, you cannot comment anonymously and without signing in on Disqus. If you are concerned about online identity, I would suggest setting up another email account to use for situations like this.
After you have registered with Disqus, you can go on to the Disqus site and edit your profile.

10 Beauty Products Launching in January You're Going to Love
January: The month of new beginnings. Resolutions are made (and subsequently broken—but that's for later), resolves are strengthened, and hopes are high. What will 2017 bring? It's hard to say—2016 was proof that there's no use in trying to predict, well, anything—but one thing we know we can count on for sure this month is a whole new crop of beauty products to brighten our spirits and change our beauty routines for the better. Ahead, you'll find exciting new launches from Tom Ford, Urban Decay, and more of your favorite brands. Go ahead, put those Christmas gift cards to use. We fully approve.
Keep scrolling to see the 10 best beauty products launching in January!
We may be in the throes of winter, but this glamorous eye and cheek palette from Tom Ford is all you need to fake a post-Bermuda glow.
We've already waxed poetic about the skin-smoothing, pore-banishing properties of J.One's original Jelly Pack, and this sister version sounds just as promising. Made with black cumin seed, truffle, black currant, blackberry, and more midnight-hued ingredients, this repairing treatment is meant to be used as an overnight mask and is meant to be especially life-changing for oily skin types.
The day has come—Tatcha has finally released an essence. Thicker than most on the market, it's filled with hydrating ingredients that flood your skin with moisture and increase the potency of any serums or products you choose to use after. This is a winter skincare must.
This isn't your average moisturizer. For starters, it bounces. New kid Korean beauty brand Purpletale sought to create a moisturizer that would hydrate without clogging pores, and this light, memory foam-like formula is just that. The bouncy texture melts quickly and easily into your skin, making it perfect as the final step before foundation.
Be still our hearts—Urban Decay is launching an entirely new line of primers this January. The five different formulas all target a different skincare concern—from Bright & Tight, which hydrates and brightens tired, aging skin, to Optical Illusion, which is basically that skin-smoothing Snapchat filter IRL—and all of them will make your skin look photo-ready in a flash.
It's safe to say we're obsessed with gommage peels—a traditional exfoliator's gentler, more satisfying sister. Apply a thin layer of this version from The Body Shop to your face and massage it in for 20 seconds—your dead skin cells will bunch up in little balls. Gross, but so satisfying.
This isn't your average cleansing water. Made with probiotics and rooibos, it brightens, tones, and helps support collagen growth in a few sweeps.
Do you have five minutes? That's all you need to create a full-face of makeup with these on-the-go sets from Charlotte Tilbury. Whether you're more Naturally Glowing or Red Carpet Party, each of these carefully-curated kits contain all you need to pull off your desired look in less time than it usually takes for you to pick an Instagram filter.
Is it a lotion? Is it an essence? Either way, this hybrid product promises to active your skin's moisture retention and leave it plump and dewy.
Intrigued by the whole cryotherapy trend but not quite ready to expose your body to sub-zero temps? Dip your toe in with 111Skin's Cryo-inspired line instead. The new waterless moisturizer sinks deep into the skin and is made with lotus extract, beet extract, and hydrating spheres that plump up your skin on contact.
Click here for all the beauty launches you missed in December!

After fitting the large output transformers to the panel, the next step was to wire them up. First you need to wire the links on both the primary and secondary windings to set the correct ratio (2:1 in this case). Two links are required on the primary as the two windings are wired in parallel. They are the red and black wires shown on the picture below. The secondary needs only a single link to wire the two windings in series. This was done with yellow wire. The primary sides are connected to unbalanced amplifier outputs so these need a single core screened cable terminated in a two pole Molex KK connector to plug into the backplane PCB. These are the grey cables you can see.The secondaries are balanced and use a twin core screened cable (black cables). Only the hot and cold are connected to the transformer. The screen is not connected at the transformer end but only at the XLR end. The XLRs are not connected yet. They will be connected after the panel has been mounted in the mixer.
The four cable pairs on the right are the the direct outs of the four channel amps. The four on the left are the master bus L/R and AUX1/2 send bus outputs which come from the two Twin Line Amps fitted next to the four channel modules.
I have a simple convention I use to identify the hot and cold wires in the Van Damme twin screened cable I use. The two wires have white and blue insulation so I make the white hot and the blue cold for obvious reasons.

21:00 - Tsuumi Sound System (Finland)
22:15 - Tiwiza (Algeria/France)
Saturday 20th May 2017
20:00 - The Khoury Project (Jordan)
21:00 - Sona Jobarteh (Gambia)
22:15 - BandAdriatica (Italy)
BRODU is a Maltese alternative band formed in 2011. The band was set up to record an album with songs composed by Mark Abela and the late Darren Gatt, which they released in 2014. Brodu sing in Maltese and play rock music with influences from various musical genres.
Tsuumi Sound System
TSUUMI SOUND SYSTEM are one of Finland's most internationally notable modern folk music bands. Rooted in Nordic folk traditions, with their multi-award compositions, this eight-piece
instrumental ensemble has no problem with accommodating various influences together in a show of high intensity and delicate feeling.
TIWIZA is a secular Amazigh (Berber, North African nomad people) tradition, based on the notion of solidarity.
A great fusion full of percussion rhythms, chaâbi riffs and nomad desert blues, powerful arrangements and engaging lyrics... with rock 'n' roll spirit.
The Khoury Project
The three brothers Elia, Basil and Osama, formed the Khoury Trio, now THE KHOURY PROJECT, in 2002. The Khoury Project's music is contemporary, combining identifiable Arabic forms with globalised rhythms. Although faithful to the great tradition of classical Arabic music, the Khourys have fused their music with many other genres including opera, flamenco, Celtic, Indian, and jazz.
Sona Jobarteh
SONA JOBARTEH is the first female kora virtuoso to come from a West African griot family. Breaking away from tradition, she is a modern- day pioneer in an ancient, male-dominated hereditary tradition that has been exclusively handed down from father to son for the past seven centuries. She has modernised the presentation of kora music bringing a rhythmic edge to her compositions which are very up to date and fit her remarkable singing.
BANDADRIATICA's music comes from the sea, conceived during the flat silence of dark nights or in the heat of burning daylight, on the bridge of a boat which has magically been the place where different cultures came to meet.

nice work, new figs to paint !
I had a similar casting spree over the bank holiday weekend; about 40infantry plus Nurnberger Meisterzinn limbers, draft horses and riders - I had trouble with the wheels, got lazy and opted to use some plastic Lego wheels I have left which are just about the right size.

Earlier this week, 2nd District Orange county Supervisor John Moorlach announced the launch of his bid to replace retiring 45th District Congressman John Campbell in the 2014 election. This story was appropriately covered by the OC Register's Martin Wisckol here. On Wednesday, the publishers of the Register doubled down on their coverage by providing Mr. Moorlach with unprecedented space on their editorial pages to make his case. Moorlach's guest editorial amounted to more than 800 words of free advertising for his campaign, in addition to the more than 400 words worth of "earned media" coverage Wisckol provided in his coverage of Moorlach's announcement.
As most of our readers know, the Orange County Register has erected a pay wall, reserving the bulk of their media reports for the exclusive consumption of paid subscribers for a period of 30 days. The publishers do allow selected content to be viewed in its entirety immediately. In the case of Moorlach's editorial, they made his full commentary available for immediate viewing by all visitors to the Register website. As far as we can tell, none of the other four candidates, state Sen. Mimi Walters, R-Irvine; Laguna Hills investor Pat Maciariello; and retired Marine Col. Greg Raths of Mission Viejo, have been provided equal time in the Register editorial pages.
While it is entirely appropriate for a major publication to issue an endorsement of a candidate in their editorial pages, from our perspective offering only one candidate the opportunity to state their case to their readers, free of cost, amounts to an in-kind contribution to that candidate's campaign committee. The value of that contribution would be determined by the actual cost of both print and web-based advertising for such a promotion.
We wait with breathless anticipation to see if the Register extends the same promotional opportunities to the other three candidates in the 45th congressional race, or if Moorlach's campaign reports the in-kind contribution on their first campaign finance report due next year.

Memo To Seattle Magazine: I Am Not Bill Nye's Brother
The September issue of Seattle Magazine has a very positive two-page "Urban Safari" review of Burien, with mentions of local businesses like The Tin Room, Australian Pie Co., Elliott Bay Brewery and others.
One interesting element of said article is this purple "Insider Tip" box on the second page (p. 48):
Memo to the Reporter and Editors of Seattle Magazine:
While I did spend three seasons as Senior Writer on "Bill Nye the Science Guy" and won three Emmy Awards…
The fact of the matter is: I AM HIS SISTER.
But seriously…as flattering as it is to be included in The Science Guy'sâ"¢ gene pool, here are some simple tips on how to differentiate between us:
- The last names "Nye" and "Schaefer" are vastly different in spelling, letter and syllabic count.
- We have different Mothers.
- We have different Fathers.
- I have three sisters, Mr. Nye does not.
- I don't wear bow ties, lab coats or safety goggles.
So, to everyone who read this story and believes everything they read, so sorry to disappoint y'all.
To Mr. Nye…can you spare $10,000 for your little sis? I still need to have some more "work" done in Denmark…
And to everyone else who finds this mistaken sibling blurb humorous and wants to share their thoughts, you can write a Letter to the Editor of Seattle Magazine here.

Tim Burton ("Alice in Wonderland") and Timur Bekmambetov ("9") are working together to produce a movie adaptation of the Seth Grahame-Smith novel Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter.
Graham-Smith kicks off with the revelation that Lincoln's mother was killed by a supernatural creature, which fueled his passion to crush vampires and their slave-owning helpers. The novel depicts the 16th U.S. president as an axe-throwing, highly trained vampire killer.

Coffee Lovers Blog Hop
Hi all, I'm playing in the Coffee Lovers Blog Hop. I stumbled upon the announcement of the hop when I was reading blogs last week. I saw all the cool prizes and great companies that were sponsoring the hop and decided to make a card to link up. The only requirement is to make a coffee themed card. Well, I could do that!
I pulled out my retired Flourishes coffee and tea set called "Grab a cup". I stamped the coffee cup with Momento Rich Cocoa and colored it with Copics. I stamped it again on kraft and cut out the sleeve and layered it on the cup. After I tied on a piece of twine and popped it on foam tape on top of a MFT stitched circle die.
I found some older paper in my stash to complete the MFT Wednesday Stamp Challenge sketch.The brown ribbon is PTI and the wood veneer arrow is Studio Calico.
Some questions that were posted on Facebook:
1. When did you start drinking coffee? I was about 25 or 30 years old before I started drinking it. I was a tea lover before that.
2. What is favorite brand (you can name up to three). New England Breakfast Blend is my favorite to make at home and Dunkin French Vanilla is my favorite at a coffee shop!
3. What is the most amazing coffee that you had? Remember where and when? I guess it was a pumpkin latte I had last year. I try not to drink designer coffees because of the calories. I like my home made coffee each morning the best.
4. If I don't drink my needed coffee, I will...Obsess about where and when I can get one, like this morning, I was out of creamer at home and won't drink it black so I shortcut my hair and make up routine so I could leave the house and go get some!

What a great menu - I would eat every one of these dishes. They are basic but kicked up a notch of fancy, but not too fancy. If we end up having people over for New Year's I might just try a few of these. Now I just need a fun bar cart to set up for a party. And a glass of wine before the company arrives is a must!

I need to take lessons from you! Not once have I ever been calm enough to enjoy a glass of wine right before everyone arrives. Great post, Pam!

Pam, I love all your ideas for entertaining AND be able to enjoy the party! Those stilton stuffed dates wrapped in bacon sound DIVINE (I think I'll make them for New Year's Eve!) and I love the little cups for serving shrimp cocktail, and the tasting spoons. So many great inspirations - thanks for sharing at Mangia Mondays!
Happy happy new year!

I made the mistake of trying to dictate the title of this post using Siri.
"Dribble extremely beautiful".
Anyway, the beta rules are out – at Mantic Digital - and looking rather interesting.
Main takeaways; some interesting changes to Jacks compared to Dreadball, no refs, and no leaving the field when injured.
I hope to have a play sometime.
Apologies for the rather terse post. Those of you who know who I work for, will know why. :)
WAB, WECW, Dux Britanniarum, IABSM3 and many other wargames rules, mostly in 28 and 15mm.

The Kenya food tradition has generally emphasized on feeding the masses as efficiently as possible, with little room for flair or innovation. Nonetheless, Kenya is blessed with a cornucopia of natural produce and the food scene is definitely on the improve. Kenyan markets are bursting with crisp vegetables, the steamy coast provides abundant tropical fruit and fresh seafood, and through out the country, meat-be it beef, goat, mutton, or even camel-is consumed with gusto. So while traditional fare may veer towards the bland and filling, if you are prepared to be adventurous you may well have some memorable or unique gastronomic experiences.
Staple Kenyan food and specialties
Although there are some interesting Kenyan dishes, travelers mostly encounter simple meat stews and curries with fillers such as rice, potatoes or another high-starch option. These aren't culinary masterpieces-its just survival food for the locals offering the maximum opportunity to fill up at minimum cost. Vegetarian visitors are likely to struggle; meat features in most meals and many vegetable dishes are cooked in meat stock.
Breakfast in Kenya is generally a simple affair consisting of chai (tea) accompanied by mandazi, a semi-sweet flat doughnut. Mandazi are best in the morning when they are freshly made-they become rubbery and less appetizing as the day goes on. Another traditional breakfast dish is Uji, millet based porridge similar to Ugali. Uji is best served warm with lashings of milk and brown sugar.
Main Kenyan dishes
The true staples of Kenya diet are Ugali and sukuma wiki. Ugali is maize meal cooked into a thick porridge until it sets hard, then served up in flat slabs. Its incredibly stodgy and tends to sit in the stomach like a brick, but most Kenyan swear by it. It will fill you up after a long day's safari but it won't set your taste buds atingle. Many Kenyan dishes are accompanied by sukuma wiki-braised or stewed spinach.
Sukuma wiki in Swahili means literally 'stretch the week', the implication being that they are so cheap they allow the householder to stretch the budget until the next weekly pay cheques. Despite its ubiquity, a dish of well-cooked sukuma wiki with tomatoes, stock and capsicum makes a refreshing change from the preponderance of meat in other recipes.
Another noteworthy staple, especially in the central highlands is irio (kienyeji in Swahili), made from mashed greens, potatoes and boiled corn or beans. Also common is mukimo, a kind of hash made from sweet potatoes, corn, beans and plantains. Vegetarians can find githeri- a mix of beans and corn-in most local eateries.
But Kenyan food is all about meat. Kenyans are enthusiastic carnivores; their recognized national dish is nyama choma (barbecued meat) and most other dishes are based around stewed meat, accompanied by a generous portion of carbohydrates, beef, goat and mutton are the most common, and they tend to be pretty tough. Carbohydrates come in five major forms; Ugali, potatoes, rice chapatti and Matoke. The chapatti is identical to its Indian predecessor. Matoke is mashed green plantains, which when well prepared can taste like buttery, lightly whipped mashed potato.
The most distinctive Kenyan food is found on the coast; Swahili dishes reflect the history of contact with the Arabs and other Indian Ocean traders and incorporate the produce of the region. The results can be excellent and spices such as clove and cinnamon feature prominently. The rice-based dishes, biriyani and pilau, are clearly derived from Persia; they should be delicately spiced with saffron and star anise, and liberally sprinkled with carrot and raisins.
You will also encounter Indian food. Most restaurants serve curries and Indian - inspired dishes such as masala chips (i.e. with a curry sauce) and Indian restaurants on the coast and elsewhere dish up traditional curries and other fare. Western dishes such as roast chicken and steak are staples in more up market restaurants found in the larger towns.
Fruits of Kenya
Because of the country's varied climate, there is often an excellent array of fruits to be found. Depending on the place and the season, you can buy mangoes, papayas, pineapples, passion fruits, Guavas, Oranges, custard apples, bananas (of many varieties), tree tomatoes and coconuts. Chewing on a piece of sugar cane is also a great way to end a meal. Prices are low and the quality is very high.

Most injuries and illnesses are not life threatening. However, knowing how to treat minor injuries and illnesses can prevent them from becoming worse. Additionally, the ability to treat or stabilize more serious emergencies until medical help arrives may save a life.
A well-stocked first aid kit for the home can prepare you for most unexpected situations. First aid kits can be purchased already stocked, or you can make your own. While supplies may differ from kit to kit, basic supplies that should be included in an emergency kit for the home include:
- non-latex gloves (at least two to three pairs)
- CPR one-way valve face shield
- antiseptic cleansing towelettes
- antibiotic ointment
- sterile dressings (4x4 gauze pads, roll gauze, and absorbent 5x9 compress dressings)
- adhesive bandages in a variety of sizes
- elastic bandage
- medical tape
- scissors
- tweezers
- triangular bandage with safety pins
- eye wash solution
- eye shield
- oral thermometer (non-glass)
- alcohol swabs to clean thermometer, tweezers, scissors
- non-prescription medications that the family may use, such as non-aspirin pain reliever and anti-diarrhea medication
- instant cold compress
- first aid instruction chart or book
Keep all the items together in a hard case or waterproof pack. Remember to check your first aid kit regularly to re-stock items that have been used and to remove and replace out-of-date supplies.

Wind rocketed through the trees causing ice-laden branches to shudder and sway. Phi stood at the edge of the frozen pond with her black hair whipping about her face, bundled in an ivory coat and red scarf. She wore no hat; cold bit her ears like sharp teeth. Phi knew she might not come back from this, but she almost had it. She could feel it in her bones.
Waiting for spring would mean waiting forever; spring would never come. Phi had to fetch it now, even if she died in the attempt. Her city's only hope of surviving this endless winter lay beneath the ice. Phi's stomach twisted, but she ignored it.
She stepped onto the pond. Ice crackled under her boot, but Phi didn't hesitate taking another step forward. Thinking of her opposing, desperate fates—face the frigid water and retrieve the Wand of Seasons or face death from the freezing temperatures just as her sister had—she would rather fight back.
"You must get it, sister," Martinique had insisted.
"I will," Phi promised.
Phi held Martinique's frail hand as she died. Now the task was hers alone.
The sisters' location spell brought her to Maldava Pond. When Phi reached the center of the pond, she halted. Setting down her bag, she withdrew a pouch of salt and made a large circle on the ice. Phi filled in the circle with a five-pointed star, making all points touch the circle. She set white candles at each point, then shed her outer layers, laying them on the ice. Next, Phi took off her inner layers until she stood naked.
The bitter air bore into her flesh, raising goose bumps on her skin, making her shiver. She stepped into the center of the circle. Phi went in a methodical manner to each candle, waving her hand to light each one, paying homage to the airts and their forces. Then she stood up.
The ice broke at her feet and Phi slipped into the arctic water. As soon as she vanished, the wind blew out her candles. Seconds passed. A minute went by. Suddenly, the wind ceased. The only sound that could be heard was a ripple in the water where Phi disappeared.
Then, the bud of a lotus flower emerged slowly from beneath the water. Its white petals blossomed revealing shining, warm light that enveloped the landscape.

A manager I know has a very inspiring poster on his door about leadership and accountability. It is obvious that he knows the value of these qualities.
It is also obvious that he avoids conflict.
Outside his door, the employees fester with discontent, confusion, drama, and unhealthy competition. Turnover is high. Energy is low.
He hopes that someday things will improve.
He doesn't know that it is his move.
He also doesn't know that once he sets clear boundaries, has the courage to quit making excuses, and to follow up tenaciously with coaching and development plans, his fear of conflict will go away.
Those things that we complain about, that keep us awake at night, that drain our energy during the day are actually in our hands to fix. Here is the formula:
- An apology
- Honest ownership of the dysfunction
- Agreement to start over
- Setting a when-things-fall-apart contingency
For the manager to his employees, it might sound like this:
"I owe you an apology. I have failed you by not communicating my expectations clearly and by failing to deal with things as they came up. Can we start over? Here is my specific wish-list. What is yours? Let's talk again in a few days, see how we are doing, and recalibrate if necessary."
Sometimes, the relationship will not work despite our best efforts, but we will never know if it could have been fixed if we don't take responsibility for our part first.
- Are you assuming people know what you are unhappy about?
- Are you expecting those around you to read your mind or to interpret the world through your eyes?
- Have you been honest enough to state your desires with emotional detachment (minus the drama)?
- Have you remembered that your happiness is not dependent upon what others do but upon your own courage to move forward?
- Do you set contingencies in order to avoid indigestion and regression when things go sideways?

Print advertisement created by Ogilvy, India for MP Jewellers, within the category: Personal Accessories.
Creative Director: Sumanto Chattopadhyay
Associate Creative Directors: Sukhendu Mukherjee, Koustuv Chatterjee
Art Directors: Altaf Hossain, Partha Chowdhury
Copywriters: Alka Adhikari, Uttaran Chaudhuri
Photographer: Sanjib Ghosh
do not always blame him. Considering today's gold price 'feeling nothing' is better!!
Doesn't look like a bracelet at all.
"Nihil sub sole novum"
the art is fabulous. mindblowingly good!
the concept sucks, tho'.
they showed me a picture & i laughed
dignity has never been photographed
Jewelry should above all be beautiful, which is not telegraphed in this ad. Quite the opposite actually.
This approach does not inspire me to buy jewelry.
gud, but if the jewe iz in gold or silver :)
I don't think not feeling the jewellery is a good thing. but is a good art direction.
- dude, what is lighter then air but on your hand or other bodu part?
- emm, my TATTOOS!!!
- dude, you are genius, WIN!
tattoos have many side meanings, this looks more like barb wire
i find this creepy, the tattoo looks more like barbed wire or some kind of torture device!
I agree both the art direction and copy need help. Possibly a lot of help.
Perhaps underwear should "feel like nothing" but I would venture you'd want your jewelry to feel like something.
and is me? or does her fingers look swollen, perhaps she reacting to the ink
Before I clicked through to the bigger version, my first reaction was..... it's another wrist-cutter Ad.
true no need of copy, nice work
Considering today's woman, especially the young ones hanging around with itsy-bitsy clothings, and itsy-bitsy touch-me-not attitude, the design shown is quite light and should invoke curiosity for its 'lightness'.

UAlbany football takes down Monmouth, 28-14
Football score: UAlbany 28, Monmouth 14
Location: Tom and Mary Casey Stadium, Albany, N.Y.
Records: UAlbany (2-1), Monmouth (2-1)
Short story: Quarterback Will Brunson threw for one touchdown and ran for another, Elijah Ibitokun-Hanks scored in his season debut, and the UAlbany defense held what had been one of the nation's most prolific running games to just 63 yards on the ground.
Key stats
- The Great Danes put together their best passing game yet. Will Brunson completed 17-of-25 passes for 196 yards and a touchdown, and Jerod Diggs caught five passes for 112 yards. Donovan McDonald also caught a TD pass.
- McDonald electrified the Casey Stadium crowd on punt returns. He brought back six for a total of 94 yards, including a 34-yard return that set up a touchdown.
Key plays
- Junior tailback Elijah Ibitokun-Hanks ran for a 6-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter of his season debut, opening up a 28-14 lead.
- With two minutes left before halftime, Will Brunson scrambled to his left and then darted 20 yards to the end zone, giving the Great Danes a 22-17 lead at intermission.
Head coach Greg Gattuso on Nate Hatalsky (15 tackles): "I'm proud of him. When something like that happens, where a kid that's such a great kid like Nate Hatalsky and he's out there living the dream right now, that's a great feeling for a coach."
Quarterback Will Brunson threw for 196 yards and tailback Elijah Ibitokun-Hanks scored a fourth-quarter touchdown to help the University at Albany football team to a 28-14 victory over Monmouth in the home opener at Casey Stadium.
The Great Danes' defense smothered what had been one of the nation's top rushing attacks, holding Monmouth's Pete Guerriero, the fourth-leading rusher in the Football Championship Subdivision entering the game, to just 26 yards on 13 carries.
UAlbany now has won back-to-back games as it prepares to begin Colonial Athletic Association play against Villanova on Saturday back at Casey Stadium.
Ibitokun-Hanks, who sat out the season's first two games with a lower-body injury, scored on a 6-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter to cap the scoring in a game the Great Danes never trailed. The touchdown was set up by Donovan McDonald's 34-yard punt return that gave UAlbany the ball at the Monmouth 16-yard line.
Ibitokun-Hanks finished with 63 yards on 17 carries. As a team, UAlbany surpassed the 100-yard rushing mark for the third consecutive game, this time netting 107.
The Great Danes opened the score with 11:29 left in the first quarter when Neven Sussman scored on a 4-yard run.
Brunson completed his first eight passes, the last of which was a 13-yard touchdown pass to McDonald, extending the lead to 13-0.
Later, with UAlbany leading 16-6 following Ethan Stark's 22-yard field goal, Brunson added a 20-yard rushing touchdown with 2:01 remaining in the half. He dashed around the left side of the line and eluded a tackler on his way to the goal to put the Great Danes ahead 22-7 at the intermission.
Monmouth's Ugo Ezemma caught a 6-yard touchdown pass, and Devell Jones ran for a 1-yard touchdown in the third quarter.

Equipping Eve: You Make the Choice, God Makes the Change? (Part 1)
Ah, the church sign. Who would have thought it was possible to cram so much bad theology into such a small space! One church sign recently caught my eye and read, "You make the choice, God makes the change!" Is this what the Bible says about conversion?

Some of the basic laws that regulate the relationship between landlords and tenants in New York involve the habitability of the space, the amount of rent landlords can charge, and the tenant's rights to sue or withhold rent, as of 2015. Regulations also prevent the landlord from retaliation or discrimination.
The tenant's right to habitability dictates that the landlord must keep the premises under livable conditions and free from dangers, such as vermin or excessive filth. Additionally, hot water and heat have to be provided under conditions as set by statutes. Tenants have a right to nonpayment or filing lawsuits if the landlord fails to maintain the premises as such. There are no limits, however, on the amount of the deposit that a landlord requires before allowing a tenant to move in. There are guidelines on how the landlord must return such a deposit when the tenant moves out.
New York state rent control laws dictate the amount of rent and increases in rent that landlords can charge for certain dwellings. There are also regulations on how much time a tenant has to pay overdue rent, which is three days in most parts of the state, before a landlord can legally file for eviction. New York landlord-tenant relationships are regulated, not only by state and local laws, but also by federal regulations that address discrimination and the landlord's responsibility to disclose health hazards.

Before I get into all the details, I want to share some of my favorite children's books with you. To go along with our book drive, Amanda (The Happy Arkansan), Pam (Hodge Podge Moments) and I will be writing about various book related themes, and today's theme is about what most of us started our reading journey with - children's books! We'll be doing this every Monday in August. We'd love to hear what YOU think about each topic. Leave a comment, or even better, write your own blog post about it and link up below! We can't wait to see what you have to say :) Here's my top 5!
1. It Was a Dark and Stormy Night
"It was a dark and stormy night, the rain came down in torrents, there were brigands on the mountains, and wolves, and the chief of the brigands said to Antonio, 'I'm bored – tell us a story!'"
I loved this book as a kid, and I remember always asking my mom to read it. Even though she loves this book too, she didn't always say yes. It's a bit long for a children's book, hahah! Maybe that just made it more special when we DID read it. It Was a Dark and Stormy Night is about a young boy who's kidnapped by brigands. To pass the time during a (you guessed it) dark and stormy night, his kidnappers force him to tell them a story, which he does while also plotting his escape.
2. The Stinky Cheese Man: and Other Fairly Stupid Tales
"And everyone lived happily, though not completely honestly, ever after."
This is a collection of fractured fairy tales, probably the weirdest ones I've ever seen! The illustrations used to freak me out a bit, hahah. When I was little I always wanted everything to be "pretty!" Luckily I learned to appreciate different, interesting styles, too ;) Jon Scieska books are a must for anyone (of any age) that loves a good laugh!
3. Letters from Felix
On her way back from a family vacation Sophie loses her plush bunny, Felix, in an airport. She's pretty torn up about it, until she starts receiving letters in the mail from Felix, who's now on a vacation of his own! Felix travels to London, Paris, Rome. Cairo, Kenya, and New York City before finally making his way home on Christmas Eve (#TravelGoals). These books were really fun, because along with the story it includes envelopes to open with the letters from Felix inside!
4. The Lorax
"I am the Lorax. I speak for the trees. I speak for the trees for the trees have no tongues."
A thousand times better than the movie, so if you haven't read this yet, add it to your list! I don't care how old you are! I am the blogger! I speak for the books!
5. Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus!
The poor pigeon just wants to drive the freakin' bus! This came out much later than the first three books, so I didn't grow up reading it or anything, but I still really like it! You're never too old to appreciate a picture book ;)
I know I don't need to reiterate this, but reading is IMPORTANT. I can't even image what my life would be like now if I hadn't spent so much of my childhood with my nose stuck in a book. That's why I was so upset to learn some facts on literacy in North America and how many children in low-income families don't have access to books. If you don't want to click the link, here's a couple key points:
- One study found that in middle income neighborhoods the ratio is 13 books per child; in low-income neighborhoods, the ratio is one book for every 300 children. (Neuman, Susan B. and David K. Dickinson, ed. Handbook of Early Literacy Research, Volume 2. New York, NY: 2006).
- Price is the #1 barrier to book ownership. Programs have limited funds and 94% of teachers use their own money to provide books & resources for their students.
Books are a lot more expensive now than they used to be, so price being the #1 issue unfortunately isn't surprising. I rarely buy brand new books! A lot of the books I read come from the library, which is an AMAZING resource that I recommend to everyone - except a family in need might not have the time, transportation, or access to a library. This is where First Book comes in. Let's get these kids some books!
Amanda, Pam and I are teaming up with First Book to present to you The Blogger Book Drive! First Book is an amazing company that helps you donate and host your own online book drive. For every $2.50 raised, First Book will donate one book to a child in need. That's cheaper than a tall caramel macchiato at Starbucks (and let's be real, how many people only order a tall?). First Book has already distributed more than 130 million free and low cost books in thousands of communities, how awesome is that? The three of us have set a goal to raise $200 for our book drive, and as much as I'd love to donate the whole amount myself, we need your help! Raising $200 would provide 80 books, and if we can raise that goal who knows how many books we could donate?!
If you're interested in donating, visit our fancy book drive page right here! (Did I make it obvious enough? Hahah.) If you'd like to help in a way that's not donating, we'd greatly appreciate your help on spreading the word! Either through sharing our posts or linking up with us every Monday! If I didn't make it clear enough at the beginning of the post let me say it again - we REALLY want you to link up so we can see what you have to say about books! If you do, we will love you and share your bookish amazingness all over the interwebs.
We're so incredibly excited to be working on this project, and we hope it excites some of our readers as well! So join us every Monday in August for more bookish fun :) Now, here's the linky tool below! Have fun!
