The glass engraving : A perfect resistance,
an unfailling stability.
Our engraved glass articles are composed of a glass with burglarproof retarder
very known in the security field for its resistance quality.
This engraved glass of 9mm thickness is added to a granite base of 20mm thickness.
Your glass memorial plaque is steady :
This base in heavy granite measures all the width of the glass to protect it from the impacts,
it has a depth calculated especially to ensure
a perfect stability of the plaque on the memorial monument even in cas of storm.

Only the real glass resists outdoors
We find on the Internet lots of plaques in PMMA, plexi ' so called glass' : Attention,
it is important to be well informed about the poor quality of plastic plaques.
Indeed, for most of them, they are objects in acrylic glass called 'plexiglas' or 'PMMA'
Those products are symply printed in the great majority of the cases.
Of course, the cost of production is extremely low but so is the quality.
Those making absolutely does not resist in time.
Besides they are never guaranteed more than 5 years.
At Renaud Gravure's we use genuine glass,
so they are perfectly resistant to outdoors agressions like great heat or frost.
The glass doesn't suffer from time's agressions, the plaques are guaranteed 50 years without turning yellow,
without cracking, nor being deformed because the glass doesn't undergo a change in time.
Moreover, those plaques are engraved thanks to a unique sanding technique
that allows the making of ultra thin details, better engraved than by laser.
As the engraving is made on the back of the plaque, this one is also
guaranteed antitag and remains easy to clean.
Indeed, the glass used is guaranteed burglarproof.
If your monument is light,
The white engraving is few visible.
The engraved glass is very beautiful and modern but you must think of one thing :
Because the engraving is white and the glass transparent, if your monument is clear you wil not have
a good visibility of the portrait or of texts.
A solution exists, choose texts engraved and gilded 24 carat.
About the portraits, there are not other possibilities than engraving them in white, thus
we advice you against the glass plaques if your monument is light.

A plaque a great purity
Among all those possibilities at Renaud Gravure's,
the glass plaques are especially indicated to decorate a granite monument.
Those plaques manually engraved and entirely made to measure are from the better effect in the dark background.
The technique of engraving by sanding, used on the genuine glass,
offers a big grey colour chart, from the darkest to the lightest till white.
The black granite base which serves of support to the plaque will perfectly match with dark monuments.
To give a prestige touch it is possible to insert a gilt
made of pure gold, on the whole engravings or only a part to highlight it.
Renaud Gravure is the only french company that uses 24 carat gold leaves,
that guarantees a good resistance over years because pure gold is totally stainless, contrary to alloys.
Those glass items can also be ordered without base, in order to be directly fixed
to the monument thanks to massive inox fixation.
A work of art
in glass engraving for a last tribute.
An engraver of carrier is above all an artist
who uses his hands rather than a machine.
It is futile to wish to compare a plaque RENAUD Gravure
to another memorial plaque traced by laser, serigraphied or imported from China
Those products are so different that they are incomparable.

Sound, sound abroad, you faithful servants of the Lord, and witnesses in His name, . . . and prophets of the Highest, and angels of the Lord! Sound ye all abroad in the world, to the awakening and raising of the dead, that they may be awakened, and raised up out of the grave, to hear the voice that is living. For the dead have long heard the dead, and the blind have long wandered among the blind, and the deaf amongst the deaf. Therefore sound, sound ye servants and prophets and angels of the Lord, ye trumpets of the Lord, that you may awaken the dead, and awaken them that be asleep in their graves of sin, death and hell, and sepulchres and sea and earth, and who lie in the tombs. Sound, sound abroad, ye trumpets, and raise up the dead, that the dead may hear the voice of the Son of God, the voice of the second Adam that never fell; the voice of the Light, and the voice of the Life; the voice of the Power, and the voice of the Truth; the voice of the Righteous, and the voice of the Just. Sound, sound the pleasant and melodious sound; sound, sound ye the trumpets, the melodious sound abroad, that all the deaf ears may be opened to hear the pleasant sound of the trumpet to judgment and life, to condemnation and light.-- "GEO. Fox to Friends in the Ministry", 1669 Journ. ii.111).
WE have described the first preaching of the Quaker message throughout England. Before continuing the main narrative, the beginnings of work in Wales, Ireland, and Scotland must be sketched, so that we may gain a better understanding of the immense initial energy of the new movement, and of its universal mission.
We have already recorded Morgan Lloyd's inquiries after Fox in 1653, and Lawson and Hubberthorne's visit to Wrexham. John ap John, one of Lloyd's messengers, became the centre of the first Quaker group in North Wales, and the first sufferer in the Principality, the offence being that he asked the minister at Swansea if he were a minister of Christ.1 This was in October 1655,____________________

Delivering modern software? Atomist automates your software delivery experience.
At some point, however, there were two empty chairs:
But that was only because Tim Boudreau was speaking, while I was taking the picture that you see above. That's why those two seats were empty... So, there must have been at least 500 people there, but probably nearer to 700 or so, I guess.
Tim opened the day by introducing himself and his co-speakers, who were Sang Shin and myself. Then he launched into a very entertaining and exhilerating presentation about all the cool new features in NetBeans IDE 6.1. I saw people taking notes all around me. Tim asked, at the start, how many were students, and only a handful raises their hands. Either they were shy or all the students were next door at the University Day (which makes sense). In particular, I believe he got the most appreciation when he demoed graphic stuff, such as iReport integration and UML. But, from start to finish, the audience seemed very engaged. Here you seem him in action:
Then Sang did his thing. He's truly wonderful in every sense. Enthusiastic about technology, first and foremost. He presented a host of web technologies, from Hibernate to soapUI to Woodstock to JAX-WS. Here you seem him, gesturing enthusiastically about one of the many cool web technologies that he was talking about at the time:
To see everything, i.e., all his presentations, from Hibernate to Spring MVC, to Visual JSF, to JPA, to web services, to WSIT, to REST, to soapUI, finishing with JMaki, see June 2008 of his speaking schedule. There's not much that that guy doesn't know about web development and the many ways that NetBeans IDE makes life easier for anyone making use of these many technologies.
Next, it was me. I talked about desktop development with NetBeans IDE. I talked about three very specific things, after highlighting the reasons for the recent Swing resurgence (JDK 6 performance improvements, look and feel improvements, Matisse GUI Builder, web start (JNLP), GroupLayout, and frameworks—both JSR-296 and the NetBeans Platform). (In discussion with Tim afterwards, I came to the conclusion that JSR-296 is great in pinpointing the problem, but not so much in finding the solution). Ultimately, my JSR-296 demo failed because of Internet problems with my Flickr demo, which worked perfectly the second before the presentation started as well as the second after it finished, but at that stage the value of JSR-296 was more than clear. I particularly like JSR-296's persistence management, the support for background tasks, and the NetBeans tooling to make it all even easier.
Then I switched to the NetBeans Platform as an alternative to JSR-296 for large applications. (Few will argue the usefulness of JSR-296 in the domain of small-medium applications. Equally, is there anyone arguing the applicability of JSR-296 for large applications? On top of that, how likely is it that it will make it into the JDK now that its main champions are working for Adobe? Was NetBeans too hasty in including tooling support for this framework, i.e., if JSR-296 doesn't make it into the JDK, what would be the point of NetBeans IDE having tooling for it? But these are questions that are not applicable within this context, I guess.) I showed the JFugue Music NotePad as well as VisualVM (constantly running in the background, picking up whatever Java application I happened to be running), as examples of NetBeans Platform applications. I also did a small demo where I ported the NetBeans Angram Sample to a TopComponent, which I installed as a new window into a new NetBeans Platform application.
Here's a pic of me, probably asking the question "Isn't this stuff cool?!":
My presentation, i.e., in PDF format, can be found here. One of the several interesting questions I received at the end of my presentation was: "If I am creating a NetBeans Platform application on top of NetBeans Platform version X, can I open it in NetBeans IDE X+1?" And the answer is "Yes!" That's exactly what I'm doing at the moment with the JFugue Music NotePad. Even though it still runs on NetBeans Platform 5.5, I am developing it in NetBeans IDE 6.1, because of the various editor enhancements that are available in that releaase.
So, judging from the sheer number of attendees and responsiveness of the audience, it was a really great day. Right next door was Sun University Day, i.e., in the same cool location, which is also where our hotel is found.
I'm really enjoying being in Manila so far. Yesterday Tim and I went on a tourist trip around Manila. We organized a guide through our hotel. He really knew a lot of stuff and was very informative. We saw many things, from cathedrals to graveyards and heard many interesting stories about what has happened here in the past years. Pity we're still suffering from jet lag though. I kept falling asleep at odd moments in the middle of our tour guide's anecdotes, not because they were not interesting, but because traveling across time zones can be a very exhausting thing.
Today, between the 3 of us, we covered most aspects of NetBeans: from the new and cool stuff in 6.1 (Tim) to the web (Sang) and the desktop (me). And... tomorrow everything continues—Sun Tech Days then truly begins. I'll be at the NetBeans booth most of the day and so will Tim. Anyone with questions about NetBeans? Feel free to stop by and ask!

National lending organization helps parents get to work and move up the economic ladder by providing loans for affordable cars, financial education and hands-on support
Chicago, Illinois (September 27, 2011) – The Salvation Army and Lutheran Child and Family Services of Illinois held an event yesterday to officially launch the Ways to Work program in Cook County, DuPage County and Aurora. Ways to Work is a nationwide organization that offers low-interest loans to low-income working parents for buying or repairing used cars that are needed to more easily meet job demands while raising children. The program is offered to families without a reliable car whose credit rating does not allow them to get a traditional loan or who could only do so at a very high interest rate. Ways to Work anticipates that more than 200 local families will obtain loans of up to $6,000 during the first two years of the program.
Critical components of the Ways to Work program are focused financial education and credit repair guidance aimed at preparing the borrowers to success with the Ways to Work loan, restore their credit and achieve economic self-sufficiency. The vast majority of Ways to Work loan recipients are single mothers who make multiple stops throughout the day in order to transport children to and from child care; commute to and from work, school or job training; and secure basic necessities for their families.
Ways to Work, Inc. currently operates 50 sites in 22 states, and has loaned more than $58 million to more than 27,000 families over the past 14 years. Ways to Work partners with local nonprofit agencies, such as The Salvation Army and Lutheran Child and Family Services of Illinois, to administer the program.
Cook County, DuPage County and Aurora are part of an expansion of Ways to Work that includes nine additional cities, through a $2 million grant from the Walmart Foundation. Here in the Chicago area, Ways to Work has also received funding from the Chicago Community Trust, the Regional Transportation Authority and the Federal Transit Administration.
"With as many as one in six Americans living in poverty, we need to do everything we can to help parents hold down their jobs and provide a stable home for their families, and that often starts with reliable transportation," said Lt. Col. Ralph Bukiewicz, Commander of The Salvation Army Metropolitan Division. "This program also offers an alternative to predatory lenders who charge exorbitantly high interest rates that only push families further into debt."
"The Ways to Work program provides us with another opportunity to help those in need by assisting people to gain and maintain meaningful employment," said Gene Svebakken, President and CEO, Lutheran Child and Family Services of Illinois. "We want to help families who have struggled with debt get a fresh start, move ahead and regain their financial security."
One of the first people to receive a Ways to Work loan, Melvyn Brandon Jones is a married father of three children ages 7, 10 and 17 and lives in Lombard. Jones received the keys to his family's new vehicle at the event. Jones described how the Ways to Work vehicle is helping his family meet the challenges they face at work and at home.
"After being laid off for three years, I just started a new job in Lisle that's 15-20 minutes from where I live," said Jones. "I was trying to take public transportation, but it took me three buses. It affected my job performance so I began renting cars by the month or borrowing them from family members. Now, because of the Ways to Work program, I'm able to get to work on time and I can even drive my kids to school and their after-school activities. I'm also paying my credit debt off with what I've learned from The Salvation Army's financial literacy program."
Over the past 14 years, Ways to Work has had a repayment rate of 90 percent. Program evaluations show that most Ways to Work borrowers continue to improve their credit scores after the loan repayment period has ended The program's up-front financial education and ongoing coaching are designed to give borrowers the tools needed to continue building better credit habits well into the future.
Individuals interested in learning more about Ways to Work or how to apply, can call The Salvation Army at 1 877-601-ARMY (2769) or Lutheran Child and Family Services at 1-800-363-LCFS (5237) or visit www.w2w.salarmychicago.org or www.lcfs.org.

Packaging seeds for the brand new seed library. See below for event details. Hope to see you there! A huge thank you to all the wonderful volunteers!
February 15th, 2014: Seed Library Opening + Potluck 5-7pm
We're going to kick off the gardening year with the opening of the Seed Library.In case you missed Carol Muncer's excellent description, a seed library is an opportunity to "borrow" seeds, just as you would borrow books. You sign out seeds of something you would like to plant, grow them, and, though you eat most of your produce, you let a few plants go to seed so you can (if all goes well) return at least as many seeds as you borrowed to the library. Seeds, like books, are expensive to buy. This is a wonderful opportunity to get them free, and also, importantly, to promote food-growing self-sufficiency in our community.
This event will take place February 15th from 5:00 to 7:00 at Saint Mary's church, 780 McEvoy st. The snow date is February 22, same time and place. We will start with a potluck at 5:00 and then open the library for borrowing. if bringing something for the potluck please bring an ingredient list in case of allergies. Mark your calendar.


text: Jynxed85 39 Posted April 16, 2018 Ran through a game with VHemlocke this weekend and boy was she fun. Played into Alchemists. Line ups: Scalpel/Dirge/VHemlocke/oGraves/Ghast/Bonesaw. Midas/Naja/Venin/Calculus/Mercury/CompoundL Lost the roll off and kicked off with Scalpel right on the edge of the pitch. My opponent deployed pretty cramped up in the middle and had no one able to retrieve the ball. Turn 1. Calculus sprints up and drops a poison on Ghast triggering Rising Anger. VHemlocke takes 3 from Soul seer jogs up. Midnights Offering onto Scalpel putting her over the halfway line of the pitch. Mercury comes up and drops an aoe on Scalpel. Scalpel goes clearing conditions and gliding through the forest. popping her legendary to pull in Mercury. Few 1dmg Push/Dodges. Kicks back to Graves. Midas come sup and Lures Mercury away. Graves passes to Bonesaw. Compound moves up and H Odor. Bonesaw sprints up passes to Scalpel, Dodges up, Dervish back to Bonesaw, Dodge up goal range and out of Odor. Shoots and scores! He kicks it out to open behind Calculus. Morts 4-0 Turn 2. Win Initiative playing Grudge Match. Put SO on Mercury. He put SO on Bonesaw. OGraves goes up and dings Mercury a bunch. Calculus throws Blind on Ghast and I forgot to trigger Fear! VHemlocke again takes 3 to Midnight Scalpel up. Midas goes back to get the ball and fails a kick to Calculus. Ghast stumbles forward blindly. Scalpel walks into base with Compound. Knocks off Glut Mass. His counter attack whiffs. Scalpel 1dmg and push/dodge him away from goal disengaging on the last attack. Then she heroics for the free second wind and jogs into possession of the ball a few inches away from the goal. Bonesaw plays tag with Venin and Naja. His defense 5 makes it difficult for the 2 to hurt him and I kept moving away from Venin so the snake didnt get its dmg bonuses. My opponent couldnt land any parting blows on Bonesaw due to Offensive and Slippery making him Def 6. Morts 4-0. Turn 3. Win initiative with stick to the plan. Scalpel goes first. Generates MOM off Scalpel. Dodges back into Tap in and scores. He kicks it out to Midas. Again he spends some activations onto Bonesaw with Venin and Naja. Trying to get some MOM and at best landing 1-2 net hits. Vhemlocke heals herself. Sprints up with her one INF. Soul Seers herself and bonus times a Blind onto Midas and landing it! Mercury dies to oGraves. Compound just has a bad day engaged by VHemlocke/Graves and Ghast. Midas being blind and near no one was unable to do anything. Morts 10-0. At this point my opponent conceded and we talked a bit after the game. He realized he spent way to much effort into Bonesaw and netting him no MOM. He also on deployment should have spread out a little more. VHemlocke didnt make one attack but set up Scalpel to do her dirty work on two turns and blinding Midas with a clutch Blind that only cost her 3 life and one MOM for the bonus time.I really like her with Scalpel as Scalpel could jog 21inches a turn. It made a huge impact on the kick off to be able to get the ball back with little impunity. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Saturn's moon Titan is one of the most interesting sites in our solar system, and NASA wants to build a high-tech submarine to explore its icy depths.
Inverse reports that NASA is developing a robotic submarine to explore the Kraken Mare, the largest ocean on Titan. Titan is kind of like Earth, with clouds and an atmosphere, except for the extreme cold and oceans of liquid methane (as opposed to, you know, water). Jason Hartwig, a NASA cryogenics engineer, said the moon is such an enticing target because it'd give NASA a chance to see if there is really hydrocarbon-based life there, and to get a better look at its mysterious methane sea.
The current plan is for the sub to carry instruments designed to measure everything from the currents and tides on Titan to the chemical composition of the ocean. It'll also have a "mast" at the top for communication, but must be fully autonomous (since we can't exactly run it via remote control from Earth). But before they ship it out to the wild, methane depths, NASA still has to figure out a way to make sure the sub won't freeze in those sub-zero conditions as it explores.
So yeah, it's probably a good thing we'd have to wait until 2038 anyway for the optimal launch window in regard to planet alignment and Titan's seasons.
Get to work, fellas.

The fresh, floral yet slightly sharp taste of a juicy blood plum is truly divine – but have you tried a poached version of this fruit where the juices have bubbled and cooked into a jam-like consistency? If yes, then you know how good this tart will taste. If not, then prepare for a revelation!
Prepare your tart with ease with the Breville The Scraper Beater Bench Mixer from Harvey Norman.
Serves 8
4 blood plums, halved, stones removed
1 ⅓ cups (200g) plain flour
1 tbs caster sugar
100g cold butter, chopped
1 egg
½ tsp vanilla extract
2 cups (500g) mascarpone cheese
2 tbs icing sugar
½ tsp vanilla extract, extra
¾ cup (180ml) thickened cream
¼ cup (55g) caster sugar
¼ cup (60ml) water
¼ cup (60ml) Cointreau
1 To make the syrup, place the sugar, water and Cointreau in a small saucepan and stir over medium heat until the sugar is dissolved. Bring to the boil and cook for 5 minutes. Add plums and cook for 1-2 minutes each side until plums start to soften. Remove from syrup and set aside. Reserve syrup. Cover and refrigerate.
2 Place the flour, sugar and butter in a food processor and process until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. Add the egg and ½ tsp vanilla and process in short bursts until the pastry just comes together. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface and work quickly with your hands to form a ball. Flatten the pastry, wrap in plastic and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
3 Preheat the oven to 180°C. Roll out the pastry on a lightly floured surface until 3mm thick. Line a 24cm round fluted tart tin with the pastry, trim the edges and prick the base with a fork. Refrigerate for 30 minutes. Line the pastry with baking paper, fill with baking weights or uncooked rice and bake for 15 minutes. Remove the paper and weights and bake for a further 8–10 minutes or until golden. Set aside to cool.
4 Place the mascarpone, icing sugar and extra ½ tsp vanilla in a bowl and stir to combine. Place the cream in the mixing bowl and, using the whisk attachment, whisk until soft peaks form. Fold through the mascarpone mixture. Spoon into the tart shell and smooth the top. Arrange the plums on the tart and drizzle with syrup.

Here's the article (sorry once more, it's Italian) and here's the translated excerpt:
"The Prime Minister Mr. Silvio Berlusconi sent a message to Mr. Obama «for the important job waiting for him»: «I'm absolutely certain that friendship and collaboration between our two countries will continue growing and strengthening.». During his visit to the Eicma Fair in Milan, Mr. Berlusconi more informally added: «I can advise him [Mr. Obama] because I'm elder than him. I'll do it as soon as I'll be personally hugging him.»"I'm recalling into my mind the victory speech of Mr. Obama. I was imagining him standing in front of his supporters and adding: "Yes, with Silvio, we can." It's no coincidence that Mr. Severgnini had a very similar reaction, has he commented in his blog, Italians, in the Corriere della Sera homepage. Thanks Beppe for this image.
Mr. Berlusconi, I would like to ask you some sincere questions: do you really believe what you're saying or it's just demagogy? And if it were demagogy, do you really think the average Italian is so stupid?
Personally I believe, Mr. Berlusconi, you should be asking Mr. Obama for advices, rather than offering yours. Italy would have its chance to change, too.

Hello Friends ! Today I am sharing a very simple card.I have created the bg by sponging watercolors on card stock.Though I have tried this technique earlier in my Water-Stamping card ,today's card is totally inspired by an expert CAS card maker Deepti of Dee's Art Utopia ! Her cards have wonderful combination of hand-drawn images ,hand cut masks and sponging with inks ! Her recent silhouette card inspired me so much and I made this card .Thanks Deepti :) !
I have used stamps I won last year in Piali's giveaway,(they had to wait one whole year to see the light of day :) ) !! finally I got memento ink and managed to take baby steps in Stamping !! I have masked some part of stamp for stamping small leaves.I had to think a lot about adding Olive green n craft color in this card,added jute twine for craft color n hand cut leaves for olive green.I have left the sentiment intentionally as its all occasion card ! Did you like this card ? Do tell me..

Hey everyone!
(Interested in a Giveaway? Keep reading!)
Most of us have television shows that we've watched for years. Ones we might have grown up with, or at least ones that have been with us for a large portion of our lives. Almost a decade ago, around when I was just starting high school, I was introduced to a show that would stay with me for a really long time.
That show was Supernatural. And I've loved it ever since that first episode.
So you can imagine how excited I felt when I saw these beautiful posters for sale at OutNerdMe.
|Picture from here.
These absolutely beautiful posters, titled the Supernatural Inspired Poster Set, have the profile silhouettes of Sam, Dean, and Castiel, from the show Supernatural. Inside these silhouettes are memorable quotes that they have said throughout the many episodes of the show.
For example, some of my favorite quotes included on these posters are:
Sam- "Too precious for this world".
Dean- "Driver picks the music, shotgun shuts his cake hole".
Castiel- "This is a den of iniquity, I should not be here".
I was so excited when Stephen, the wonderful person that runs the Etsy Shop, OutNerdMe, offered to send me one of his poster sets. Of course, between all of the wonderful different sets, it was hard to choose! He also graciously offered to send a poster set to me, to giveaway to one of my lucky followers! (More on that soon!)
Wondering why it was so difficult for me to decide? Well, when you see all these posters, I think you can understand why I was so conflicted. Just look at these posters:
|BBC Sherlock Inspired Quote 3 Poster Set
Lord of the Rings (Frodo) Inspired Quote Poster
Harry Potter Inspired Quote Poster
Game of Thrones Inspired Quote Poster Set
And this is just a small selection of my favorites. OutNerdMe has tons more posters for sale, and even some t-shirts!
Now, let's move onto the actual review!
First off, communication.
He was excellent at communicating with me. All of my questions were answered very quickly and he was very friendly and helpful.
I give communication 5/5.
Shipping was very fast. I got in touch with him six days ago, and he told me that he would mail them out in a couple days. I received the package yesterday. So it really was a very short wait time! I got the package delivered to my door as shown here:
On the right, you can see what it looked like inside the tube. All the posters were together inside a sleeve to protect them. And all of them arrived completely undamaged.
Fast shipping and poster in excellent condition? I give shipping 5/5.
Really, my camera doesn't do these beautiful posters justice. The colors for the backgrounds are beautiful, the silhouette is clear and there really isn't any imperfections at all. There were no dents, no scratches, and no wrinkles whatsoever. The quality for these posters are great, so I easily give it 5/5.
I got some nice frames from Walmart (which you can by here, if you'd like to get them for any poster you might want to get from OutNerdMe), and this is the finished result:
I have them set up vertically on the wall next to my window, beside my bed, and they look amazing.
So, over all, I give the posters, and OutNerdMe: 5/5.
The whole experience was just really lovely, and I definitely want to buy more of his posters. (Especially that Harry Potter one!)
I highly recommend getting one of his posters, or a set, since the sets are gorgeous. You can 'like' him on Facebook to get all the updates when it comes to his posters, and visit his store to see everything he offers.
Now, time for the giveaway?
Yeah, I think so.
First off, I'm really sorry, but for this giveaway, it's going to be US residents only. I'm really sorry to my followers overseas, but I promise the next giveaway will be for you too! If you're not in the US, but want one of these posters, definitely check out his Etsy shop. He ships worldwide!
So, what's for the giveaway?
Are you a fan of Doctor Who? I know I am. And OutNerdMe generously sent this set of three posters for me to giveaway to one lucky winner. Whether your favorite doctor is the ninth, the tenth, or the eleventh, you have the chance to win all three to decorate your home with.
(This giveaway is for the posters only. No frames included!)
The giveaway will end on June 13th at noon! Winner will have 72 hours to get back to me, and if they don't, I'll choose a new one.
Be sure to get as many entries as you can before then!
And Good Luck!

I know. Anyone can grow hibiscus in Arizona. They love the sun and heat. I also know that the blooms only last one day. But after losing many plants to the frost last winter, I am happy about new life. And these plants blooming today are young and thriving.
How do you, my gardening friends* with abundant, overflowing produce, do it?
*Californians, Canadians, Pacific Northwesterners, or really anyone from anywhere but the hot hot desert, need not respond. I cannot relate to you. Nor do I think you have any idea about gardening trouble. Mostly I'm just jealous.

He was shot to death after opening fire on a police van.
Paris prosecutor François Molins said shortly after the shootings that "the attacker's identity is known and has been verified".
A statement by IS's propaganda agency Amaq said the attacker was one of its "fighters", identifying him as "Abu Yussef the Belgian".
Two French officials said the gunman was detained towards the end of February after speaking threateningly about the police, but he was then released due to a lack of evidence.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau posted a message on Twitter late Thursday saying "Canada stands with France, as we always will, against terror". Sunday's vote will be followed by a runoff on May 7 between the top two candidates.
Paris' iconic Champs-Elysees boulevard is reopen and picking up its usual early morning routine Friday. Police has also searched the home of the dead attacker in a town east of Paris.
Interior Ministry spokesman Pierre-Henry Brandet said on BFM television that a man came out of a auto and opened fire on a police vehicle.
The man who shot dead a French policeman in an Islamist militant attack had served time for armed assaults on law enforcement officers, police sources said on Friday, as authorities sought a second suspect flagged by Belgian security services.
"The man in the wanted notice issued by Belgian authorities presented himself to a police station in Antwerp", ministry spokesman Pierre-Henry Brandet told AFP.More news: State officials ask Congress to secure 'Obamacare' subsidies
The gunman was shot dead at the scene and a pump-action shotgun and knives were found in his vehicle.
US President Donald Trump said: 'It looks like another terrorist attack.
The Frenchman was convicted of attempted murder after shooting at two police officers in 2001 when they tried to stop his stolen auto. The assailant reportedly targeted a police vehicle.
He said he and tourists fled to a shop.
France has been living under the state of emergency regime since the November 13, 2015 terrorist attacks in Paris and its northern suburb Saint-Denis, when a total of 130 people were killed and 350 injured.
"They were running, running", said 55-year-old Badi Ftaïti, who lives in the area.
French President Hollande quickly appeared on national television to share more details with a anxious nation.
Marine Le Pen of the far-right Front National, Francois Fillon of the centre-right Republicains and centrist Emmanuel Macron have cancelled events scheduled for today, the last day of the campaign.

(operator ?= could be anything). I have colour coded anchors/links on my web site, with in-site links in one colour, links to other sites in another, etc...

Legislation to end cosmetics animal testing passes key committee in Taiwan
Final vote in Parliament expected next month
TAIPEI—Legislation to ban cosmetic animal testing for both finished products and cosmetic ingredients has passed the Taiwanese Social Welfare and Environmental Hygiene Committee. The bill, proposed by Legislators Wang YuMin and Zhuang Rui Xiong, now moves to the full legislature for debate with a final vote expected before the June adjournment of the Parliamentary Session. During the committee meeting Legislators Hung Tzu-Yung, Lee Yen-Hsiu, Chung Kung-Chao, Chen Man-Li, Liu Chien-Kuo, Chiang Wan-An, Yang Yao, and Lin Shu-Fen were all in support of the new legislation.
The #BeCrueltyFree Taiwan campaign led by Taiwan SPCA and Humane Society International welcomed committee approval of this legislation as an important milestone towards ending cosmetics cruelty in Taiwan.
The proposed bill amends Taiwan's Control for Cosmetic Hygiene Act and is part of #BeCrueltyFree, the largest campaign in history to end cosmetics cruelty globally. Recent opinion polling commissioned by the Taiwan SPCA shows that 69.2 per cent of Taiwanese consumers want to see cosmetics animal testing banned, and 76.5 per cent believe animals shouldn't suffer in name of beauty.
Taiwan SPCA and #BeCrueltyFree Taiwan campaign coordinator Joy Liou said: "The #BeCrueltyFree Taiwan campaign is pleased that the committee has agreed that the time has come to end cosmetics animal testing in Taiwan. Testing cosmetics on animals causes them pain and suffering, for test results that have never been proven reliable to assure human safety and don't represent modern science. We hope the legislature will act swiftly to pass this measure so Taiwan can take this major step and join the growing list of progressive nations to ban cruel animal testing of cosmetics and cosmetic ingredients."
Claire Mansfield, HSI's #BeCrueltyFree campaigns director based in London, said: "By passing this bill Taiwan will officially join the #BeCrueltyFree movement to end the unnecessary suffering caused by animal testing of cosmetics. A testing ban is the first milestone towards completely ending cosmetics cruelty in Taiwan; however the amended bill does not have a sales ban for products tested on animals outside of Taiwan. We hope the next move by the government will be to also ban the sale of cosmetic products or ingredients that have been newly animal tested elsewhere in the world."
Passage of the legislation would bring Taiwan in line with more than 30 countries—home to more than 1.7 billion consumers—that have already joined the #BeCrueltyFree movement. The world's largest cosmetics market, the European Union, together with Norway, Israel, India, New Zealand, South Korea, Turkey and several states in Brazil, have enacted full or partial bans on animal testing for cosmetic products and ingredients. Similar legislation is currently pending in the United States, Canada, Brazil, Australia, Argentina and elsewhere under the leadership of #BeCrueltyFree campaign teams in these countries.
Consumers can continue to show their support for the legislation and a complete end to cosmetics cruelty in Taiwan by signing the petition at: http://goo.gl/ftNM7N

Helping your children pay for college is one of the biggest and most important challenges that you will face. Currently, a four-year education (tuition, fees, room and board, supplies and personal expenses) can range from almost $100,000 at a public college to over $230,000 at some of the most expensive private institutions such as Boston University and The University of Chicago.
With expenses expected to continue to rise at the current rate of 5 percent per year, the costs could skyrocket to $150,000 for a public college and over $360,000 for a private institution for a student matriculating in 2019.
Making matters worse, planning for college gets more complicated each year because of the ever-changing rules, regulations and tax laws. Feeling overwhelmed and confused, many parents fail to develop an effective plan, leading to burdensome debt affecting both parents and students for years to come.
Studies have shown that while most parents feel helping their children pay for college is one of their most important financial objectives; few are financially prepared to do so. Some reasons include underestimating costs and failing to reduce discretionary spending to reach their college-funding goal. Some parents also have unrealistic expectations and make false assumptions regarding the availability of financial aid.
That is the bad news. Now, here is the good news.
First, developing an effective college savings plan is achievable if you keep it simple and are willing to invest the time and effort to stay abreast of the changes in regulations and learn how to use the tax and investment options available to you. Tax-advantaged savings vehicles as well as tax credits and deductions are available to help take the sting out of college costs.
Second, for those of you who start saving early, you have time and the power of compounding on your side. Even small, regular contributions to a college savings plan can go a long way to defraying the costs of the time when your child starts college. Saving early and regularly is the surest way to build a college fund.
One of the most important things you can do as a parent is to help educate your children. Planning, saving diligently, doing your research and applying some good old-fashioned common-sense will allow you to help your children pay for college when the time comes.

Another swatch - this one is from OPI's Euro Centrale range. This range is super varied and there is a colour in it to suit everyone. When I get my butt into gear I will do a post showcasing the whole range, but for now here is You're Such a BudaPest.
I would say this is a blue but The Crazy Kid insists that it is a purple. Either way, the formulation is beautiful. You can just about get away with one coat though there is the tiniest amount of streakiness. Two coats and it is perfection.
So, who is right - me or The Crazy Kid? Is this a blue or a purple?
All opinions are my own and I received no remuneration for this post. This polish was provided for consideration.

So I have been back home from Brazil for almost two weeks and am only just getting around to my blog. LIFE just takes over when you are home and I don't have time to do ANYTHING!!! However, I did get to hike Kennesaw Mountain with my hubby on Sunday and we had some friends over to watch the SuperBowl last night. I got to catch up with some of the Cowan crew and then play some more American Idol with Anna Kay after the game was over and we got to take over the t.v. We celebrated another friends birthday on Friday and all last week I spent trying not to die from the cold after getting used to the wonderful warmth in Brazil. I would say I was born to be a beach bum, because the warm weather and wonderful breeze was absolutely perfect-but then again I am STILL peeling like crazy from my horrible sunburn and I got my picture book in today (from Snapfish-I love making books on there since I am HORRIBLE at scrapbooking-I DO NOT have the patience for that craft!!) and I realized I do not have the confidence in my body that all the Brazilian women showed. No matter their size they seemed perfectly comfortable with themselves, whenever I see a picture of myself all I see are my horrible Binkley arms and in the trip picture how pale I am-and then how pale/red splotchy I am!! Oh well, life goes on and I truly am incredibly happy and feel completely blessed, let's just say its a good thing I do have joy in my life, because I wouldn't be getting anywhere if I depended on my looks! Oh man, that doesn't sound very good-I am not trying to talk smack about myself-just observations that I made and realize that being lazy lately isn't really a good thing and maybe I should be better about using my gym membership-since I am locked into a contract anyhow!!This last picture made mom and me laugh like crazy. The first picture on this post is the one I took because I thought we should have one on the plane, but I didn't like the one I took all that much so I told mom to take it from her side and this was the face she made while trying to smile and take a picture at the same time. TOO FUNNY!!! I am sure the other passengers around us thought we were crazy because we were laughing so hard I could have pee'd! (Except for the fact that I had already pee'd a thousand times that day already!) The other pictures through-out the post where taken at the Salvador Airport on the morning we left for home.
Wednesday night last week I actually was dragged to a hip-hop class with some of my neighbors. (Just kidding, I wanted to go-it was just funny because I literally pulled into my driveway, threw some stuff inside my door and jumped in my neighbor's van-I was already in gym clothes because after work I had gone to the gym-but left halfway thru the class-so I guess there was a sign right there that I needed to work out!!)
Tuesday night I got to hang out with Natalie and we watched part of one horrible movie and another one that was o.k. (She is as bad at picking out movies as I am!!) but we visited and just hung out and it was wonderful. I love her and her whole family! (She is my bosses daughter and my mom was friends with her mom growing up, and my grandparents where friends with her's.) I miss Natalie soooo much, we used to work together, but now that she doesn't work with me anymore I hardly ever get to see her, so it was great to just hang out!!
Well, I guess I am working backwards here through my time since my last post. The only other major thing to happen is our trip home. Which was basically a 22 hour day with all but the first thirty minutes and last hour spent in an airport or plane. When we got to the Salvador airport around 6:45AM there wasn't anyone to be seen, except for one huge line-which of course was where we needed to be! The trip back was longer then the one there because we had some delays and an extra stop over in Recife, Brazil. Even though it was long, the hardest part was the weather. It was COLD when we got into Miami and when we went through customs I didn't think about pulling out my blue jeans before I rechecked my bag for our flight to ATL. I did have some 3/4 length sweats and a small jacket in my carry one to put on for some warmth since we had a long layover in Miami and then mom and I didn't get off the plane in Atlanta-where it was FREEZING until around midnight! (We had started the day at 6AM-which is 4AM Atlanta time!) I started the trip in a cute tank, jean skirt (with soffee shorts underneath so that I could be comfortable on the plane) and sandles!

Analysis of Waco Dam Slideby Stephen G. Wright, Asst. Prof. of Civ. Engrg.; Univ. of Texas, Austin, TX,
James M. Duncan, Assoc. Prof. of Civ. Engrg.; Univ. of California, Berkeley, CA,
Serial Information: Journal of the Soil Mechanics and Foundations Division, 1972, Vol. 98, Issue 9, Pg. 869-877
Document Type: Journal Paper
The investigation was performed to study the factors influencing the undrained shear strength of Pepper shale, a stiff-fissured clay, and to apply the results of the study to the analysis of a slide which occurred during construction of Waco Dam, founded on the Pepper shale. Unconsolidated-undrained triaxial compression tests were performed on undisturbed samples of Pepper shale to investigate the influence of anisotropy, sustained loading and specimen size. The study showed that the Pepper shale is highly anisotropic, possessing a much lower strength along a horizontal plane than along other planes. The influence of sustained loading and of specimen size was found to be negligible. Analyses showed that the assumption of isotropic shear strengths, measured on vertical specimens, indicated stable conditions, while the use of anisotropic shear strengths produced results in agreement with the observed failure and pronounced noncircular failure surface.

There are two horizontal piping on the front and the back. I made the piping firstly with the narrow zipper foot. Then I pin it between the yoke and the main fabric.
Slide it under foot # 12, and start sewing. The bulky part with the piping should sit under the groove and the needle position should be align to the marking on the foot.

Smart Learning - Use of media in online training
Jan. 01, 2018 to Dec. 31, 2018
The successor project "Smart Learning – Use of media in online training" focusses on the implementation and testing of a purely online course concept and the joint use of the smart learning infrastructure by several institutions. The premiere goal of the successor project is the preparation of new online content and courses and the required technical adjustments with a different focus on three education institutions. An online training, functioning as a preparation course in accounting, will be created with the collaboration of the Fachinstitut für Informatik und Grafikdesign (FiGD) as a partner and then be tested by all three education institutions. For the Berufsbildende Schulen (BBS 1) Uelzen as a practice partner shall be found out by the use of on energy course, how self-learning with the support of learning analytics instead of classroom assistance is possible. For the Handwerkskammer Berlin as a practice partner it is about the extension of the existing course for building energy consultants, which will be offered again in 2018. Only with even more comprehensive digital media it is possible to meet the needs of the target group for flexibly usable learning content.
Fraunhofer FOKUS is the coordinator of the project. In order to enable the use of the smart learning infrastructre by the institutions involved, the technical and didactical/ qualification basics need to be developed first. Afterwards, the demand-driven digital media for the online courses will be created. The learning advices for the usage in online courses will be optimized from the technical point of view. For a better involvement of the participants, a gamification-component and an easy to operate communication tool will be established. Moreover, the lecturers profit from the improvement of the editors. During the running of the course, the works will be evaluated extensively and the results will be made available to the public.

Obama's Corporate Tax Plan Could Be Fairer and Simpler: View
Feb. 23 (Bloomberg) — President Barack Obama's corporate- tax framework, unveiled Wednesday, recognizes that the U.S. tax code desperately needs a spring cleaning. There are too many loopholes, deductions, subsidies, allowances and special rules.
The 35 percent statutory rate is also too high, especially because most companies have figured out how not to pay it, and most countries have dropped their rates below the U.S.'s.
We agree it's time to lower the marginal rate, conceivably to 25 percent — lower than Obama's proposed 28 percent — which is about where it stood after the last tax reform 25 years ago. Obama's proposal goes a long way toward streamlining the code and broadening the base of tax-paying corporations, but it contains some obvious flaws and comes up short in a few areas. Luckily, there's time to fix it.
It was 1986 when the U.S. tax system got a thorough going- over in President Ronald Reagan's second term. In the quarter century since, Congress has been unable to resist adding new breaks and loopholes, and then having to raise rates to prevent a hemorrhaging of revenue. As a share of gross domestic product, corporate taxes now make up a mere 1.16 percent, versus more than 4 percent in 1960, according to a study released in November by Citizens for Tax Justice, a small, left-wing think tank.
Reagan created a commission in 1984 to examine the tax code after Citizens for Tax Justice noted then that many large companies were paying little or no taxes. Reagan wanted to get the subject off the table until after that year's elections, but two years later, tax reform ended up passing.
Same Dynamic
The same dynamic may be happening again. It's a presidential election year, and Obama's framework is meant to get the subject off the table until after November. Citizens for Tax Justice has even come out with another report concluding that corporations again are avoiding paying taxes.
The nonprofit group, along with the Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy, looked at 280 of the biggest and most profitable U.S. companies. A quarter of them paid less than 10 percent in taxes over the three years 2008 to 2010. Thirty companies, including such familiar names as Boeing Co., Verizon Communications Inc. and Wells Fargo & Co., paid little or no taxes in at least one of the three years.
Only about a quarter of the companies studied paid close to the official 35 percent rate. The average annual tax rate for all 280 was 18.5 percent over the three years, barely half the official rate, yet they reported almost $1.4 trillion in pretax profits. (The U.S. Treasury estimates the effective U.S. marginal tax rate at 29.2 percent for all corporations.)
To address this, Obama's blueprint, while light on details, includes several approaches we endorse. It would discourage outsourcing by imposing a minimum tax on overseas profits (sadly, without saying what the minimum would be) and eliminating breaks for moving operations abroad. The current system, in which companies can defer income taxes on foreign profits until they are repatriated, unfairly rewards companies for leaving the U.S. and robs it of revenue.
The president's plan would also eliminate many unwarranted preferences, such as oil and gas subsidies, breaks for corporate aircraft and accounting gimmicks that allow companies to artificially lower reported earnings. Most important, it does not increase the bloated federal budget deficit.
In many ways, though, the plan is too timid and internally contradictory. It suggests, but doesn't outright endorse, reducing the deductibility of interest on corporate debt. It's a smart idea and, as we have said, removes some of the incentive to borrow rather than raise equity capital, and would bring in much-needed tax revenue.
'Brutal' Arithmetic
Administration officials said the 28 percent rate was based on "brutal" arithmetic that lowered corporate levies without worsening the deficit. The math is complicated, but boils down to this: The plan would save $250 billion over the next decade by wiping out an abundance of loopholes and special-interest breaks, and would apply those savings to new breaks for manufacturers, research and experimentation, and clean energy. So-called advanced manufacturing, whatever that is, would get even richer tax breaks.
It's unrealistic, we know, to expect a pure tax code in which every company pays the same rate. For example, one widely used tax break, the depreciation allowance, may need to be kept, even though it's confusing and often abused. Companies must have a way to deal with the fact that equipment and buildings wear out and need to be replaced. And some tax breaks, such as those for clean energy and research, are largely justifiable because they benefit the entire country and are vital to the future economy.
Still, the goal should be to do away with as many preferences as possible. The Obama framework does this with one hand, and then undoes it with the other.
The Obama plan also increases the potential for tax code gamesmanship. It says, for example, that the minimum tax on overseas profits shouldn't penalize businesses engaging in "activities which, by necessity, must occur in a foreign country." Administration officials have in mind exemptions for things like building and operating hotels abroad, but we spy a loophole that could undermine the provision's intent.
When all is said and done, some corporations may get a better deal and some may get a worse deal. Making corporate taxes fairer and simpler won't be easy when reform produces as many losers as winners. But with both parties claiming tax reform as a goal, there's no excuse not to begin an earnest discussion now.

Qatari television Al Jazeera reports that the Emir of Qatar, Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani, will announce his abdication in a televised speech on Tuesday. The Emir, who is 61 years old and has suffered from health problems recently, will hand over power to his fourth son, Crown Prince Tamim, who is 33 years old.
Emir Hamad came to power through a palace revolution which overthrew his father, Emir Khalifa, on 27 June 1995. His reign has seen Qatar undergo a rapid development which has made the small country a key political and financial player in the region, whose 300,000 inhabitants enjoy the highest per capita income in the world.
The outgoing Emir has three wives and 24 children. Crown Prince Tamim is the fourth of his eleven sons, but the second son of his marriage to his second and most high-profile wife, Sheikha Mozah. Tamim replaced his elder (full) brother Jasim as heir apparent in 2003. The incoming Emir was educated in England and has two wives, three sons and three daughters.
Emir Hamad's renouncing the crown will truly make 2013 a year of abdications, coming as it does after the abdication of Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands, which was announced on 28 January and carried out on 30 April, and the abdication of Pope Benedict XVI, which was announced on 11 February and came into effect on the 28th of that month.

Traditionally, in order to release intracellular retained rAAV vectors, producer cells are lysed by 3 to 4 freeze-thaw-cycles (liquid nitrogen-37 °C water), producing a crude cell lysate that is the starting material for a variety of subsequent purification and concentration methods. Therefore, efficient cell lysis is of crucial importance towards high-titer rAAV vector preparations. This application note investigates the use of the Minilys as an alternative solution to traditional freeze-thaw methods.
The images show that the Minilys does not impair rAAV vector infectivity (Figure 1) and efficiently releases rAAV vectors from HEK 293T producer cells (Figure 2), and thus shows similar results compared to the freeze-thaw method.
Figure 1: Minilys homogenization (A) vs. 3 freeze-thaw cycles (B) on untransfected HEK 293T cells resuspended with known concentrations of rAAV vector titers. 700 μl of the crude cell lysate obtained from each method was added to separate dishes of cultured HEK 293T cells. Images were taken 2 days later (20x objective).
Figure 2: Transduction of HEK 293T cells by rAAV vectors produced by transient transfection of HEK 293T cells and released thereafter by Minilys homogenization (A) vs. 4 freeze-thaw cycles (B). 10 μl of the crude cell lysate obtained from each method was added to separate dishes of cultured HEK 293T cells. Images were taken 6 days later (20x objective).

The Israeli government has taken steps to reduce the penalties for personal marijuana use.
It backed plans to issue fines initially, and only resort to criminal charges for repeat offenders.
Selling, buying and producing the drug will remain illegal and the move must still be ratified by parliament.
According to the UN Office on Drugs and Crime, almost 9% of Israelis use cannabis, though some experts believe the figure to be higher.

BEIRUT (Reuters) - Lebanon's Hezbollah leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah said on Thursday that Israeli strikes inside Syria were also an aggression against Syria's regional allies and they had the right to retaliate.
"The frequent attacks on different sites in Syria is a major breach. We consider (those) hostilities (to be) against all the resistance axis," he told the Beirut-based Al Mayadeen TV.
"(Retaliation) is an open issue ... It is not only Syria's right to respond but also it is the right of the axis of resistance to respond. When this right will be executed is subject to certain criteria ... it could happen any time."
Iran, Syria, Hezbollah and some Palestinian factions consider themselves an "axis of resistance" against Israel.
Hezbollah is a staunch ally of Syria's President Bashar al-Assad and has sent hundreds of combatants to fight alongside his forces in the nearly four-year civil war.
Israel has struck Syria several times since the start of the nearly four-year civil war, mostly destroying weaponry such as missiles that Israeli officials said were destined for Hezbollah.
In December, Syria said Israeli jets had bombed areas near Damascus airport and in the town of Dimas, near the border with Lebanon. Israel does not publicly confirm bombing missions.
Hezbollah, created in the 1980s to fight Israeli occupation in Lebanon, fought a 33-day war with Israel in 2006 in which it fired thousands of rockets that hit deep into Israel.
Nasrallah said his group was ready for any possible future war with Israel despite being engaged in the war in Syria.
"If the Israelis think that the resistance is weakened or exhausted ...then they are mistaken."
