LESSology: Chest of drawers
32 comments:
I love the fact that you have a crafty hallway! I couldn't be trusted to have my crafted goodies in an area that I walked past all the time, I'd never get anything done! Good luck with the shifting and lifting ;o)ReplyDelete

good luck with the carpeting!
That organiser is so cool and I love the way you've used the drawer! I think you should be the official spokesperson for Konnichiwa - you rocked it again!ReplyDelete
You should enter this at Moxie Fab's Don't Throw It Away challenge since you used that packaging.
And I feel your pain with the craft supply moving. Boy is it a slow process (especially when I get distracted and start making cards instead...)
I love the organization...looks fabulous. Can't wait to see the finished product! And I love your inspiration today!!ReplyDelete
What a fun drawer you have, Amy, and of course the card is cute! Your space will be nice when finished, I know I love mine. My husband moved my cubes, so I could paint my room, all 40 of them! It was worth it for sure. Have a wonderful week off.ReplyDelete

Good luck with all your work with the new carpeting and clearing out. I know it will be all worth it when it's over. :)
Oh Amy, I love the way you set up the chest of drawers and that little loopy flower I made you goes perfect with that paper collection.ReplyDelete

You are beyond stinkin' clever!! Loove this!ReplyDelete
What a great idea. Glad I got rid of my carpet in my craft area. Although it's a real task to keep the wood floor free of glue and scraps... it's much better than carpet.ReplyDelete

SANFORD — Enough sewer service for more than 14,000 new houses will be put up for sale by Seminole County beginning next week.
Although developers are expected to waste no time pulling out their checkbooks, the catch is that the service is not available right away. Some of it, in fact, will not be available for two years.

Bertolini 403 Two-Wheel Rotavator
The Bertolini 403 Two-Wheel Rotavator
The Bertolini 403 Two-Wheel Rotavator is a heavy duty domestic machine and yet suitable for semi-professional used to. This is a rear tine Rotavator which has powered wheels at the front of the machine and is much easier to use than a cultivator that is driven by the actual tines that also dig at the same time. Bertolini is an Italian horticultural company who make a range of machines for the horticultural industry and keen gardener.
The Bertolini 403 Two-Wheel Rotavator is priced at £1,999.00
The Bertolini 403 Two-Wheel Rotavator is powered by a Honda 163cc GX160 engine, which is a high-performance overhead valve engine which is extremely economical, I know this from experience. The engine has a cast iron cylinder sleeve, forged steel crankshaft and a dual stage air filter which all helps to improve engine life and the overall performance. I have used Honda engines for many years and I have found them to be extremely reliable. Many times, over the winter season I have left the Honda engine untouched and it will very often start first time in the spring!
The Bertolini Rotavator has two forward and two reverse gears, which is perfect for manoeuvrability and various work conditions. The transmission is housed in an oil bath which lubricates and keeps the gearbox running efficiently throughout its working life.
The Bertolini 403 Two-Wheel Rotavator is very easy to use, it has a depth control which can be adjusted to various positions, that helps to keep the machine didn't too deeply when you are trying to get a fine seedbed on top. The tiller is also very useful for inter-row work, which makes it useful for going between crops or hoeing lightly between rows. The pre-set working widths are 35 -50 – 60 cm, the narrow setting been perfect for getting between plants.
As with most of the Italian Rotavator is that I have used they do try and make them user-friendly. The vibration has been kept to a minimum, due to the comprehensive vibration damping. The controls are placed on easy access positions on the handlebars, which gives minimum fatigue to the operator. The handles can be adjusted in height and sideways to avoid treading down the freshly tilled soil.
For more information on the Bertolini 403 Two-Wheel Rotavator please go here
There are also a number of optional attachments for the Bertolini machines. They have a Kwik-Fit coupling that makes it very straightforward to change to various attachments.
- Engine: Honda – Kohler – Kipor
- Starting: recoil
- Transmission: with gears in oil bath
- Gearbox:4-speed (2 forward + 2 reverse)
- Clutch: dry multidisc
- Speed (km/h):1st: 1.18 – 2nd: 3.18 – 1st R: 1.18 – 2nd R: 3.18
- Handlebars: height- and width-adjustable, 180° reversible, with vibration-damping device
- Reverse gear: yes, with gearshift lever
- Differential: no
- Brakes: no
- Power take-off: independent at 1004 rpm
- Accessories coupling: integral QuickFit supplied as standard

As always, I'm super late!
Is it ok if I say I was waiting for the official pictures to be released?
The day started quite early for me because I had to go to the model rehearsals during the morning. I'm beyond happy I got to model for Angelic Pretty once again ! This time, the show was going to be bigger than last year and AP's fashion show coordinator was here to work on the show with us. And that's a very good point !
I arrived to the Westin Vendome a bit early (yes I wasn't late at all wow you're impressed, right?) so I waited in the gorgeous lobby until the rehearsal began. Soon Roxane was here too! I was so excited because this was going to be our first time modeling together ♥
And very quickly, everyone was here and we got into the Salon Impérial, where the tea party was held. It was really impressive, all golden, fancy and beautiful!
The AP team welcomed us, I was so happy to see them again! RinRin, Chikage and Risa were already there getting ready.
We discovered our outfits and started dressing up before begining the actual rehearsals.
I got to wear the Cirque de l'Étoile OP which is one of my favorite dresses from the Autumn collection! Not my usual style but it seems I always got to wear reddish or brownish outfits when AP decides. The AP team was here to help us getting ready and this time we also had a hair and make-up artist which was the same as two years ago for the photoshoot we did in Paris! The photographer was also the same!
We had a lot of space to get ready, tables with lots of mirrors so I decided to style my hair myself but I went to check with Maki if twintails where OK and I ended up with twintails (yay) and glittery stars in my hair!
Once my hair was covered in stars and my make-up was done, I checked with Maki if everything was OK (once again) and she gave me a scepter to complete my outfit. I felt so fancy, ah !
I don't remember how much we spend rehearsing, then Honda-san checked everyone's outfit to fix the final details. We practiced a lot until it was time to hide in the backstage and wait until the fashion show. I was nervous but also very very excited! Actually, I was way less nervous than last year and enjoyed the show a lot more~
Group picture from AP's website!
Once the show was over, we came back to the backstage to change into our personal outfits,
but before... PICTURES 8D
Backstage selfie with my dear ♥
She truly look like a doll in this outfit, I'm so proud ♥
Chieko took this picture of us ♥
Marine took a picture with Louise, Anastassia and I ♥
With Katarina! It was nice to meet her during the rehearsals ♥
Thanks Chieko for this picture!
I can't believe I got stars in my hair AND a scepter
I'm so happy I got to wear this outfit during the show
I think that's my favorite outfit I got to wear while modeling ♥
After changing into our personal outfits, I took a few moments to see RinRin, Chikage and Risa because I had a cute heart shaped chocolate box for the beautiful guests (with Eiffel Towers, so very French much Parisian 8D) One for each one of them ♥
Also, it was the best moment to ask them for a picture. You know, basic fangirl problems... I'm so happy I got to met them! I was my first time meeting Risa and Chikage and I hope to see them again because they are really sweet!
And then it was finally time to join everyone and enjoy the tea party!
The room was even more impressive when filled with beautiful princesses ♥
We could save our sits before the tea party started so I sat between Roxane and Chieko!
Sarah was there too, her outfit was so beautiful! I wish I took more outfit pictures...
Spoiler alert, she won the 3rd best outfit price so it's featured in Spoon. and you can check it out at the end of this post~
Dear Rosalynn also was part of the best outfits! She won the 2nd price and she's also in that magazine I'M SO PROUD OF THEM ♥ My two favorite outfits!
Food was truly delicious, very pink!
Soon it was already time for the raffle and like always, I didn't won anything but I had a cute postcard as a consolation price! It's the Strawberry Whip illustration by Kira Imai~
Near our table was a small booth were we could see the upcoming Pullip x Angelic Pretty release which wasn't announced yet : Pullip Marie ! She wears the Antoinette Princess dress set and those gorgeous glitter heels with pompoms~
Apparently, paper scissors rock is a thing during tea parties in Japan so it happened here too.
Big paper-scissors-rock contest took place! I lost during the first round but I enjoyed watching way too much! The best ones even got to play against the guests!
Everyone taking pictures of the winners, yay!
Even Honda-san!
I'm a bit sad I didn't had the chance to take and instax with Maki, Asuka and Honda-san all together ;__; They were all so busy, I didn't want to bother too much. Well, at least I got one with Honda-san, I admire her so much ♥
It was almost already to go because the party was ending...
But you know what happens, they're always people that won't leave the room and I feel like I'm one of them. I stayed a while to talk because I didn't had enough time to see my friends during the party since the fashion show started a bit later than expected.
I feel bad because I only have Marie and Sandra's outfit pictures,
I don't even have Roxane's because I'm a potato...
Darkness and golden stars, yes yes ! ♥
I love Sandra's outfit, it was Funnassyi themed ! ♥
Beloved new dress, much love (much ribbons) !
Thank you Marie for this picture~
I "planned" this outfit the night before the tea party and the very same morning soo...
JSK: Angelic Pretty
Blouse: Offbrand
Socks : Angelic Pretty
Shoes: Bodyline
Hair accessories: Angelic Pretty, Offbrand
Accessories: Offbrand/gifts
Tea party gifts. postcards, exclusive eco bag and huge badge!
Please, get your own copy (because beautiful paper yes) to support the magazine!
You can see all the fashion show outfits, the best dressed (YAY!), some attendees and a page about the opening of the Parisian shop! Also, gorgeous cake.
Click on the pictures for higher resolution!
Once we got outside, Marie, Sandra, Pippa and I went to Aki because why not and heatwave.
Because iced matcha latte is ALWAYS a good idea during summer!
And voilà!~
See you soon and
take care until next time ♥
take care until next time ♥

Upload Artwork
Upload Artwork Files
Please contact our Art Department if you have any questions, or need assistance with art files, logo files, file uploads, etc.
Send vector files to our Art Department via email to this address: firstname.lastname@example.com
Art File Requirements
Vector Art (needed for logos and text)
Saved as an Illustrator (.ai) or an Encapsulated Post Script (.eps) file.
What does "vector" mean?
Vector means a graphic arts digital file generated with an outlined art format that is created in a computer design program such as Adobe Illustrator. Illustrator (.ai) or generic (.eps) files are the preferred way to send logos and text artwork in vector format so they can be reproduced on branded merchandise. We need vector files of your artwork or text so that we can produce a proof of your artwork, and then send your artwork to production. See the example illustration to the left. This shows the text outlined in a vector format.
How do I get vector art?
The first place to look would be your art department, or the original designer of your logo and graphics. If that's not an option perhaps ask a supplier who has worked with your logo artwork before, for other projects. Any of these people should have vector art files. Note: if needed, we can convert your artwork to vector format for an additional fee.
PDF files can hold vector art, too.
In most cases, designers save original art files as PDFs for the client to review; because clients often do not have access to a design program that will open or view .ai or .eps files. If a PDF file is available, then please send that to us. Our art department can open it in a design program to see if it contains vector art.
Photographs / Image Files
Save as a Photoshop (.psd), Joint Photographic Experts Group (.jpg), or a Tag Image File Format (.tiff) file. If you are sending a "photo" of your logo, the logo needs to lay flat and have no distortion. Note: ALL ARTWORK will need to be redrawn into a vector format if you are providing us with Photographs or image files. Additional fees apply for vector conversions.
- All photograph files need to be high res of 300dpi (dots per inch).
- Make sure the images are the best possible lighting.
- If you take a digital photo of your logo or artwork make sure to have the image centered and that your camera is at an angle for a straight-on shot.

TriState Capital Holdings Inc. (TSC) Hits New 52-week High During December 29 SessionEquities Staff Follow |
TriState Capital Holdings Inc. (TSC) hit a new 52-week high yesterday, reaching a peak of $14.42 after opening at $13.98 and closing at $14.20 for a move of 1.94%.
Hitting a new 52-week high is a notable milestone for any company, and it can mean a trading opportunity on either the long or short side, depending on one's perspective. Some view a company hitting its highest price in a year as a sign of momentum and think it means it's time to buy in. Others, though, tend to interpret a new 52-week high as likely signaling the end of a strong run, with the stock peaking out before a period of decline.
However one plays it, it's often a critical moment for any stock and should be noted by investors.
The new 52-week high came on a volume of 45,872 for a stock that has a float of 28.03 million shares and an average daily volume of $65,880. The day's trading means the company's market cap is now at $397.99 million and it has a 50-day SMA of $12.85 and a 200-day SMA of $12.32.
TriState Capital Holdings Inc. now has a P/E ratio of 17.9.

Lady Gaga Steps Out in Two Crazy Hats, Has Nip Slip in London [PHOTOS]
Last week, Lady Gaga was a Botticelli-like babe. Then she was tattered and ghostly. Now she is donning extreme, ornate hats and rocking all-black ensembles.
She wore a massive, feathered, Mohawk-like headpiece while out in London on Oct. 29. She paired it with high-waisted pants, major heels and a sheer top, under which she forgot to wear a bra. As she bent over to get in a car, she flashed some nipple action. It's not a big deal, since she's been going naked quite a bit this year.

text: Senegal quarantines first suspected Ebola virus case Serigne Daw Sunday, August 10, 2014 The suspected case is for a 27-year-old Malian national, Sene said in a statement DAKAR – Senegal on Sunday quarantined its first suspected Ebola virus case at a hospital east of the capital Dakar.Doudou Sene, the head of the health department of Matam, a region 750 kilometers east of Dakar, said the suspected Ebola patient was quarantined at Ourossogui Hospital."The suspected case is for a 27-year-old Malian national," Sene said in a statement.He said the suspected patient returned recently to Senegal from his country, carrying some of the symptoms of the disease.Sene said the Malian patient had most likely come in contact with Guineans, given the fact that Guinea is one of the most hardest-hit countries by the virus."Samples have been taken from the patient and sent to Dakar for analysis," Sene said, adding that the analysis results will appear in 48 hours.Senegal's university hospital Fann had earlier received a suspected Ebola virus patient. The patient was quarantined at the Contagious Disease section. He proved, however, to be negative to the disease after samples were taken from him and analyzed.Ebola is a contagious disease for which there is no known treatment or cure.The virus can be transmitted to humans from wild animals and also spreads through contact with the body fluids of an infected person or someone who has died of the disease.The Word Health Organization (WHO) has declared the Ebola outbreak in West Africa to be an "international public health emergency" as the virus continues to spread through the region.The virus has killed hundreds of people in West Africa, mostly in Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone.Nigeria has confirmed two Ebola fatalities, including a visiting Liberian man.Benin has also reported two Ebola fatalities, including a man returning from the Nigerian city of Lagos.

Panetta Institute intern fulfills Dominican dream in D.C.
Leyva worked last semester in the office of Congresswoman Doris O. Matsui, monitoring and updating the U.S. Representative's social media outlets and website with her press secretary, handling faxes and telephone calls from her constituents from the Sixth Congressional District in Sacramento and helping create a video montage for her with Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi, minority leader of the U.S. House of Representatives. Leyva also helped draft an op-ed editorial for Congresswoman Matsui, wrote letters to her constituents, researched legislation, sifted through newspaper articles from across the country, and, when she had time, led tours on Capitol Hill.
This was an ideal scenario for Leyva to learn.
"I like to connect with people," she says.
The most memorable moment of Leyva's Washington, DC experience involved a lot of people. She was able to sit in and observe the House committee hearing when Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius testified about fixing the so-called Obamacare website.
"I felt like I was in the heart of the experience of being in Congress," Leyva says. "I was listening to discussion between Secretary Sebelius and members of Congress with the media taking photos and notes. I witnessed the reactions of the audience. It was a very exciting time for me and something I will never forget."
Leyva was one of 26 Panetta scholars nominated earlier this year by presidents of 23 California State University campuses as well as Dominican and Santa Clara University. It is the 15th year that Dominican has participated in the Leon & Sylvia Panetta Congressional Internship Program and Leyva discovered that carries some clout.
When she met U.S. Representative Matsui for the first time one-on-one, Leyva noted how impressed the Congresswoman was that she was a product of the Panetta Institute.
"I don't feel like just an intern. I feel like I'm representing a lot more. I'm representing Dominican and the Panetta Institute," Leyva says.
Since her freshman year, Leyva had longed for the chance to be a Panetta Institute intern and prepared accordingly for the opportunity.
As a sophomore, Leyva was selected as a World Affairs Council Marin Chapter intern and served as a liaison between Dominican's Service-Learning program and Canal Alliance. She was chosen to facilitate weekly conference meetings for St. Vincent de Paul to help prevent homelessness, and, in keeping with her Political Science major, she was a member of Marin's Election Advisory Committee providing assistance and educational outreach to members of the community so that they would know how to exercise their voting rights.
Last spring, as a junior, Leyva was selected along with Dominican Occupational Therapy major Jocelle Flores to be the first cohort of 20 students from 10 campuses to participate in California Campus Compact's Community Engagement Student Fellowship program. It is a statewide program designed to support student leaders advancing service-learning and community engagement at California colleges and universities. Leyva and Flores were liaisons in a two-semester leadership development workshop at Dominican called Education Dedicated to Justice and Equity.
Leyva, supported by the volume and intensity of her work, applied for a Panetta Institute internship.
"It just worked out that my extra-curricular activities matched up with what the Institute wanted," she says.
"I was very pleased when Daniela was selected as the 2013 Panetta intern," says Alison Howard, chair of Dominican's Department of Political Science and International Studies. "One thing is for certain, Daniela makes the most of any opportunity she is given. Daniela is a conscientious, respectful, and wise young woman who truly represents the best of Dominican. The chance to apply what she has been learning and have a first-hand experience working in a congressional office will compliment her already impressive accomplishments."
It was Leyva's first trip to D.C. and, as a history buff, she naturally sought out its monuments, structures and sculptures. She visited the Lincoln Memorial at night and spent days in the Newseum, and the Smithsonian Museum of American History.
"Those three brought me to tears," Leyva says.
With all the recent debate and protests about Syria and government shutdowns surrounding her, Leyva was in touch with today's issues and relished the challenges it presented.
"Being the middle of it, I do get fired up," she says.
In the meantime, Leyva is working on her senior thesis about Congress and how it uses and utilizes social media. She was in an ideal environment for that, as she was constantly keeping an eye on Congresswoman Matsui's Facebook and Twitter pages and the messages sent and comments received.
Leyva returned to Dominican this month and will resume her busy schedule on and off campus. The 2 ½-month internship brought clarity to her future goals. She is considering graduate school, perhaps law school inspired by a recommendation Sylvia Panetta made during the two-week Panetta Institute training course in August in Monterey. Leyva also would like to work in local government and establish a close connection and relationship with her constituents.
"I have learned that creating legislation is a complicated process," she says. "What we see on the news and hear on the radio is only the shell of a complicated issue. Working in Congress gives you the perspective of what is really said and what people really mean."
Leyva believes she distinguished herself in her latest adventure. Being in Washington, DC and working for a member of Congress as a Panetta Institute intern evoked lots of energy and many emotions for her.
"I feel more grateful than anything," Leyva says. "I like knowing I worked my hardest to get there."

Thanks, Sally, for giving me the letter 'B' (and a sleepless night!) with which to contribute to your A-Z of romance writing.
These, then, are my 5 'B's, and I'll start with what is probably the most obvious, and finish with the one I tend to think one of the most important, of any letter in fact.
'B' is for Boldness. In the writing itself. I think it's important, particularly when you're writing about the emotions of other people, to let go of your own perceptions and not be held back by what you yourself believe to be right. If your MC believes something that goes completely against your own better judgement, so what? Go with it, explore it, don't be afraid to talk it up; it'll make your character more believable and far more rounded. If you then feel the need to prove them completely wrong by way of an intervention of a (more sensible!) character, whose opinion they value, that's obviously fine too. But I think you need to be bold, to not be afraid to give your characters a different dimension and a different viewpoint, and best of all, to enjoy the ride through your own ideals!
So there we have it, my 5 'B's for romance-writing. Thank you for reading.
If you're interested in seeing any of my work, Maid of Oaklands Manor – (historical mystery/drama, published by Piatkus Entice and shortlisted for the Readers' Choice award 2013) is available from Amazon.

What Is An Air Compressor?
An air compressor is equipment that can convert electrical energy to kinetic energy in form of compressed air. It can also be defined as a machine that can compress air to a high pressure. They are commonly used in the industries i.e. for industrial purposes. They are usually classified based on their pressure output and their design/operational principle. We have low-pressure ones (with pressure output of 150 psi or less), medium-pressure (with pressure output of 151 psi to 1,000 psi), and high-pressure devices (with a pressure output of 1,000 psi and above). If we classify or name them according to their design and mode of operation we have rotary screw compressor and turbo compressors.
Air compressors are very important devices in our industries as well as our day-to-day lives at home. In order to always get the best output from them, proper maintenance is necessary. Read on to find out some useful tips that we can observe and follow when maintaining our machine.
5 Tips To Maintain An Air Compressor
- Read the User's Manual. When you take a look at the user's manual of an air compressor (if any) you will see exactly how it works. You will also note the different parts that need cleaning and which parts you need to avoid touching or managing if you don't want to void warranties. Read the user's manual, therefore, as this will make it easier to clean and maintain your compressor.
- Clean the Intake Vents regularly. Intake vents are the parts of your machine that suck the air from the surroundings to eventually push it outside with force. But this air that is sucked into the machine could have dust and other types of molecules which stick to the valves and eventually make the compressor work deficiently. Check this part of the air compressor regularly and half of the maintenance will be done already.
- Change the Filters. Alongside the intake vents, the filters are also an important part of your compressor. The filters work directly as garbage cans. These maintain all the dirt and dust that is sucked into the compressor so when the air goes out, all this dirt stays on the filter. So, as you see, the more you use it the dirtier the filters will get and the more important it will be to change them in order to prevent the machine from working forcibly. Change these filters at least every 3 to 6 months.
- Drain the Moisture from the Tanks. As a machine that compresses air, it is normal for moisture to be created inside it, especially in the tank where all the air is compressed. And moisture can be harmful to your device, sometimes making it work incorrectly as all the moisture could start getting pushed out of the compressor alongside dirt and other types of molecules. For this reason, we recommend using the release valve almost all devices have on their tanks; this will help release any type of moisture and external agent inside it.
- Change the Oil & Fuel Tank Periodically. This machine is basically a motor that takes air at one side and pushes it with force on the other. And as a motor, it needs to use oil and fuel to work properly. This means that you will have to change both of these periodically, making sure it has enough oil and the fuel tank is clean. Make sure every 6 months to 1 year, you change the oil and clean the fuel tank. This adds more useful life to the air compressor and makes the machine work more efficiently.

According to Torrentfreak, legal reps for Fredrik Neij are ready to fight the Swedish legal system by taking his case to the European Court Of Human Rights. They will argue that, under the European Convention Of Human Rights, Neij has the right to "receive and impart information", and that via operating The Pirate Bay he was merely exercising that right.
Neij's lawyers will again stress that The Pirate Bay itself did not host or copy any infringing music or movie files, and will argue that while the information TPB distributed may have primarily directed users to copyright infringing content, the imparting of that information in itself is not illegal, and, moreover, the right to impart such things is protected under European human rights legislation.
It's a timely argument, given the increased tendency of the pro-file-sharing community to equate copyright enforcement with censorship, and the convention article Neij will rely on - should his case be accepted by the Human Rights courts in Strasbourg - is the freedom of expression provision.
The article in question does allow the freedom of expression right to be restricted for the "prevention of disorder or crime", which is presumably how Sweden will fight the case if it reaches court - arguing that by setting up an online operation that enables and indeed encourages others to infringe copyright law, TPB was guilty of copyright crimes and therefore the convention right does not apply. Though quite when copyright infringement, and especially so called contributory infringement (where you help others to infringe), should be dealt with under criminal rather than civil law is very debatable.
It will be interesting to see how this one turns out. And if the European Court Of Human Rights were to rule that the convention right to freedom of expression was being breached via various forms of copyright enforcement, that could have a big impact on the copyright systems of countries bound by the convention, including the UK.
And given that, arguably, under European Union law (which is separate to European human rights law), EU countries have a duty to protect copyright, such a ruling could have the potential to put Europe's two judicial systems (the human rights courts and the EU's European Courts Of Justice) in conflict for the first time, which could cause all sorts of constitutional quandaries. I'll say this, The Pirate Bay story is one that just keeps on giving.
Elsewhere, Neij's fellow TPB founder Peter Sunde has opted for a very different route to avoid prison, pleading with the Swedish authorities rather than taking them to the European Courts Of Human Rights. Sunde's lawyers have said that their client being forced into jail for eight months now would be damaging for his new business Flattr, as well as offering albeit undisclosed health reasons as to why the former Pirate Bay spokesman should be given clemency.
Sunde's legal reps have also said that, if their client's prison time can't be revoked, it would be helpful if it could at least be postponed (presumably to the 29th Century). The Swedish courts are yet to respond to that application for clemency, though Sunde, who was due to start his prison sentence last week, remains free for the time being.
As much previously reported, the so called Pirate Bay Four - founders Neij, Sunde and Gottfrid Svartholm plus funder Carl Lundström - were handed jail sentences after a joint civil and criminal trial over their involvement in running The Pirate Bay in 2009. The sentences were postponed pending appeal hearings though. They lost their first appeal in 2010, although the jail terms were reduced, and earlier this year Sweden's Supreme Court refused to accept a second appeal hearing.
Lundström has reached a deal to serve his sentence under house arrest rather than actually going to jail, while Svartholm has been AWOL for sometime, so much so he didn't even take part in the first appeal hearing, meaning the one year jail term handed to him at the original trial is binding.
First up, TMZ is reporting that Wayne's legal reps have just settled with producer and songwriter David Kirkwood, who sued last June claiming he was owed $1.5 million for royalties and "production services" in relation to the track 'Love Me Or Hate Me'.
The gossip site also reckons that last month a similar out of court agreement was reached with Darius 'Deezle' Harrison, who also sued claiming he was still owed money for work on the same album.
Terms of both deals are not known.
Thinking about it, having handed the Best Sports Show prize to self-satisfied misogynists-for-hire Richard Keys and Andy Grey, perhaps the Sony judges just felt they should have a woman winning the Best Music Programme gong, and however much you may have all been rooting for Michael Buble to take that particular prize, even you will have to admit Buble is no woman.
Anyway, it was the UK radio industry's Sony Awards last night. Some shit people won, but 6music got Best Station, which is something worth getting on your desk and dancing about (unless you're Huey Morgan, if his tweets last night were anything to go by). But don't get so involved dancing to 6music that you then forget to tune into the Best [sic] Music Programme on British radio at 10am, will you?
Here's your full list of Sony winners.

Speaking to Classic Rock, guitarist Malcolm Young said: "You know what Brian's like. He just says things and then walks away. It'll be a little while - a year or two anyway. I've been doing some jamming on some song ideas but I do that all the time, as do the rest of the band. We are still working. But we had a long rest between 'Stiff Upper Lip' and 'Black Ice', so I think we need a couple of years to recuperate and work on [the new record] a bit more".
When your time comes, you'll be able to hear 'Valtari here: sigur-ros.co.uk/valtari/hour/
A concept piece of sorts, Schlecker says the two tracks are a "short story" of the "modern hip hop" genre.
He also says: "The 808 snares on 'Mountain' are a nod to Noah '40' Shebib and some-time Drake collaborators Boi-1da. 'Financial District,' at 125bpm, though actually feels slower than that because the drum machine pattern on it has a completely different feel. It's in the rhythms that I depart from that initial hip hop idea".
Listen to both featured tracks below, and/or download each individually for 79p (or both for the bargain price of £1.29). A digital steal, if ever there was one.
Comprising a set of eighteen live recordings made between 2006-2010, the collection hasn't yet been given a release date. You can nonetheless sample the whole lot via this SoundCloud player: soundcloud.com/human_ear/linda-perhacs-chimacum-rain
The band, who signed to Rob da Bank's Sunday Best Recordings for the forthcoming release of their debut LP 'Forge & Flagon', will first visit the Brick Lane branch of Beyond Retro at 2pm. From there on they'll visit Hunky Dory, Blitz and the Curtain Road-based Paper Dress within the space of two hours. Then they'll probably have a nice nap.

"Currently, there's a lot of hype about the demise of print but not that much evidence it's actually happening", she mused. "Print is still relatively healthy. Websites have huge reach but haven't yet found an effective revenue generating mechanism. Digital sales currently account for less than 1% of total ABCs. So print and digital formats are likely to continue to co-exist for at least the next ten years".
She continued: "Tablet publishing is the new great white hope and the blueprint is there for this to become the dominant platform, offering an integrated, enhanced reader experience with room for longer format articles. Plus, the ability to have all your magazines stored on one device means you're likely to read more, which is a positive for the industry. But the price of devices such as the iPad is currently preventing them from being ubiquitous. This is one area where the evolution over the next ten years is key but I think it's still too early to make a definitive statement".
Focusing in particular of the music press, Kutchinsky added: "In terms of titles, I think we all suspect that the NME will be digital only. Its print circulation is down to 27,650, yet its publishers claim an audience of over one million thanks to their digital platforms. If they can pour their energy into improving their digital offering and focusing on spin-off, brand enhancements such as NME Extra and NME Radio then there might be a future for what is still a strong brand. On the flip side to that, established online-only publications such as Drowned In Sound, Pitchfork and Resident Advisor might see revenue opportunities in physical products down the line, whether they be printed annuals, compendiums of best content presented in a box set, or other limited edition formats".
Joining Kutchinsky on the new music press panel was Dan Miller from VICE, who likewise observed that while the future will obviously be dominated by digital, print still had its place. Similarly optimistic about the future, despite the many challenges faced by the magazine publishing sector just now, Miller also reckoned that those titles which properly engage their audience will be able to find revenue streams beyond somewhat lacklustre banner advertising - whether that be branded content, an area where VICE has led, or the subscription route, the option where Kutchinsky's employers are the pioneers.
Richard Kirstein from Resilient Music, Tim Dellow from Love Live, Jemma Downey from Live Nation and Jasmine Skee from O2 debated when and why brands work with new acts over global rock stars, what brands might offer such acts in return, and how artists should go about pursuing brand partnership opportunities. After the event Richard took to his own blog to round up some of the points raised by both himself and his fellow panellists.
In terms of how band brand partnerships are formed, a lot was said about the importance of 'fit'. Richard writes: "Clearly authenticity and credibility are important objectives in any artist partnership - and on Saturday we examined the idea of 'fit'; though it's certainly a subjective term, there were some strong views on partnerships that worked and those that didn't".
Richard shares some of those case studies on his blog, before advising artists considering approaching brands that they too consider the 'fit' thing: "Identify brands who work with artists in a similar genre to you, examine the types of campaign that target brands have previously activated, and examine brands' campaign cycles [ie when are they likely to be planning new activity] and time your approach accordingly".
He adds: "Consider brands that you or your artist already uses in daily life, and consider brands whose services or products you need to support your career eg transport, clothing, footwear, equipment".
As for what brands will offer artists in return, we asked the panel what was on the table for new artists, money, free product or audience? "Yes to all three", Richard says. "During the panel, on money, Tim felt that artists should always be paid, but Jasmine commented on how O2 rarely paid emerging artists. I believe that 'value exchange' is certainly a better strategy for both parties (rather than a straight financial transaction), especially where longevity of relationship is a key objective".
He continues: "Where brands pay fees, managers take commission and labels/publishers withhold artists' shares against unrecouped balances. In contrast, artists receive the full benefit directly for any goods or services provided by a brand within a "value exchange" deal. A manager can't take 20% of a van or jacket!"

As previously reported, when official links between Facebook and Grooveshark were terminated the often controversial streaming music service, which is currently fighting lawsuits from all four majors labels, said a mistake had occurred. But Facebook confirmed to Digital Music News at the weekend that it had actually been responding to a complaint by a copyright owner when switching off the Grooveshark page and app, and it now turns out that Grooveshark confirmed the same late last week via its own blog.
But Grooveshark has gone one step further by, on Sunday, claiming it had sufficiently reassured Facebook that the rights owner's complaint was without merit, and that as a result the two services would soon be fully linked again.
The company blogged: "As a fellow US-based DMCA-compliant service, Facebook's copyright notice and takedown process is very similar to Grooveshark's. [So we worked] with Facebook to reactivate the Grooveshark Page and App in accordance with their process. In fact, this incident has created an even stronger line of communication and cooperation between our two companies. We completed Facebook's notice, takedown and appeal process for our Facebook Page on Friday, and we're happy to share that the official Grooveshark Facebook Page has been reinstated".
Grooveshark previously had its mobile apps removed from both the Apple and Android stores because of complaints by rights owners, though has got around that by offering an HTML5 app that does not need the approval of any device or operating system manufacturers.
Noting how the Zune failed while Microsoft's Xbox enjoyed big successes in the gaming space, Robbie Bach, who, when heading up Microsoft's entertainment division, oversaw both product lines, told the Northwest Entrepreneur Network event in Seattle: "It's not like we didn't try but - and I don't know how to say this politely - the music industry just didn't get it. They just didn't figure out that being dependent on Apple was bad for them. And they were so hooked on the drug of what Apple was supplying them, that they couldn't see past that to realise that they needed something else to actually drive their business. The label business, the music industry, has never recovered from that".
However, Bach did concede that the Zune was possibly also too little too late in the short-lived MP3 player market. He added, Tech Radar says, that the portable music market was "already leaving when we started", and that "we just weren't brave enough, honestly, and we ended up chasing Apple with a product that actually wasn't a bad product, but it was still a chasing product, and there wasn't a reason for somebody to say, oh, I have to go out and get that thing".
Although Roger Taylor recently said that he'd not want to perform with a 3D animation of his band's late frontman himself, he added: "Were somebody [else] to use a hologram of Freddie I would have no objection". And that somebody else turned out to be, er, Brian May, who revealed last night, ahead of a special tenth anniversary performance of the band's West End show 'We Will Rock You', that Freddie would be making his debut appearance in the musical.
Speaking to the BBC, May said ahead of the special anniversary show: "People will come out saying, 'did we actually see Freddie?'"
Noting that comparisons with Tupac's recent onstage return were likely, May added that this had been planned for sometime, and used different technology to that used to resurrect the rapper. He continued: "It's a little unfortunate they did that thing with Tupac, as we've been trying to make Freddie appear on the stage for quite a while. [That particular technique] is something we've looked at ourselves, but I think probably for a show that runs eight shows a week it's not really quite practical".
People indeed did come out saying "did we actually see Freddie", though not due to amazement at the spectacle. It seems there's some dispute over whether the special effect happened or not. However, May and Taylor did definitely perform with the cast in front of an audience which included Kylie Minogue, Robert De Niro, Bill Oddie and Mercury's family.

Lessons From India in Organizational Innovation: A Tale of Two Heart Hospitals

Recent discussions in health reform circles have pinned great hopes on the prospect of innovation as the solution to the high-cost, inadequate-quality U.S. health system. But U.S. health care institutions—insurers, providers, and specialists—have ceded leadership in innovation to Indian hospitals such as Care Hospital in Hyderabad and the Fortis Hospitals around New Delhi, which have U.S.-trained doctors and can perform open heart surgery for $6,000 (compared to $100,000 in the United States). The Indian success is a window into America's stalemate with inflating costs and stagnant innovation.

Here's the finished product, complete with baby:
Now for some details. Here's the other vision quarter:
|{Don't mind my feet there at the bottom}
Just a child mirror attached to a wedge pillow and two loops for attaching toys.
The mirror sticks to the mat with velcro. The wedge pillow actually has two sets of velcro on it- one set on the short side to make the mirror stand up at a steep angle, and another (in the picture above) on the opposite long side that will make it be at a low angle, for when the baby is sitting up and looking down at the mat. I feel pretty smart about that.
I also felt smart figuring out my pillow dimensions. I used the pythagorean theorem and the sine function to get things right. I always liked trig, and as it turns out, it's still actually useful!
For the last quarter, the sound/hearing one, I had a bit of a dilemma. A lot of store bought play mats have squeakers in them, or buttons that play music. I thought it would be really cool if I could DIY that, but I never figured out anything that was actually doable. Thus, for this quarter, I just attached a bunch of loops.
After I finished all the quarters, I pieced them together and then put the grey square down over the center and just like that my quilt top was done! The grey square is attached like an applique- I cut it, folded the edges over once about a half inch and ironed, then sewed it down around the edges over my pieced top.
I quilted it quarter by quarter, too. My original plan was to use different techniques in each section, like a grid in one and stippling in another, but that proved to be a bit ambitious. I just did wavy lines instead. I kind of wish I had done them a little closer, but it was Christmas Eve night and I just wanted this thing DONE.
I machine bound it using this tutorial and it worked out pretty well. It's got some problems, but I'm not embarrassed of it as a first try.
|{The backing is the same grey as the middle square and the binding}
|{This was by far my best corner. The others are a bit wonky.}
Making it was not nearly as frustrating as I thought it would be (my expectations of frustration were incredibly high, but still). Working on it in quarters made it pretty manageable- I definitely recommend it as a strategy.
I hope everybody else got all their handmade projects done in time for the holidays!

With over 6,300 businesses; over 93,000 employees; a transportation hub serving eight subway lines, 13 bus lines, the East River and the Long Island Rail Road; and a geographical location at the center of New York City and just a few minutes from Midtown Manhattan, Long Island City has not only proven to be one of the largest manufacturing centers in New York State, but is the fastest-growing neighborhood in the city.
Although LIC is home to over 31 arts and cultural institutions and venues; over 150 restaurants, bars and cafes; and over seven summer events series, those who visit it immediately fall in love with the waterfront. LIC allows visitors to look at Manhattan from the other side of the East River. Because of this, along with everything it has to offer, LIC has become the go-to site for tourists.
In 2001, Queens Plaza and Jackson Avenue were named New York City's fourth Central Business District and were rezoned for large-scale, mixed-use development. That caused LIC to boom, as did the Queens Plaza Pedestrian and Bicycle Improvement Project which was completed in 2012, transforming LIC's entry point.
Data provided by the Long Island City Partnership on LIC development up to June 2016 show that LIC currently has 27 operating hotels and 34 hotels in planning and under construction, making LIC home to over 2,740 rooms and over 4,850 rooms in the making.
"LIC's hotels serve a mix of leisure and business travelers, taking advantage of our proximity to destinations across the city and the world," said a spokesperson for the Long Island City Partnership. "Our many cultural institutions, waterfront parks and unique dining options have made the area a destination on its own. Its close proximity to Midtown Manhattan, northern Brooklyn and NYC's two airports [LaGuardia Airport and John F. Kennedy Airport], as well as thousands of local businesses needing to lodge clients and co-workers from around the globe, make LIC an ideal location for travelers. We are now at a volume where LIC is an attractive place for the hotels, and their visitors are now adding back into LIC across business, tourism, arts and culture, and retail."
The Queens Tribune spoke with community board 1 district manager Florence Koulouris, who was not surprised that LIC has shown tremendous growth.
"We are Queens," said Koulouris. "We have the most diverse community in New York City. There are a multitude of ethnic backgrounds here. You can dine at a different restaurant every night and have a different cuisine. The housing in Astoria alone has people from Greece, Croatia, Mexico, Puerto Rico and so many more."
Koulouris said hotels in LIC are an asset to people visiting their families in New York City because the average apartment houses one or two bedrooms, leaving a person's family without a room to stay in.
"Long Island City is a perfect place for someone whose family lives in Astoria, Ridgewood or Corona and are looking for a hotel that is located someplace they can easily access public transportation to visit their family members, while also enjoying what New York City has to offer," said Koulouris.
Since Borough President Melinda Katz took office in 2013, she made tourism a priority of her administration and launched a marketing plan with the slogan "The World's Borough," aimed at increasing visitation in Queens.
"Queens is hot and on the move and we're thrilled by the growing attention and interest that the rest of the world has in this borough," Katz said in a statement in 2015 when Lonely Planet, the world's leading travel media company, named Queens the best tourism destination in the United States. "This is a top destination choice for people from around the globe to live, work and play. Our neighborhoods are home to families that hail from over 120 countries and speak over 135 languages, so our diversity is a natural and tremendous asset to the international capital of the world. You haven't really seen New York City unless you have experienced Queens."
Although LIC is growing at rapid speed, Koulouris said that the infrastructure needs to be the focus.
"We don't need any more long-term plans; we need to think short term," said Koulouris. "We need to start double layering: plans for now and plans for later. We need to be focused on day-to-day residents as well as tourists. We need to worry about our present residents and our future residents."

Police constable couple who had claimed they climbed the Mt. Everest have been suspended.
The Rathods, both 30, took a leave in April to participate in an expedition to scale Mt. Everest. Later, they organised a press conference in Kathmandu and claimed they scaled the peak on May 23.
Pune Police Commissioner Rashmi Shukla received a written complaint on June 17 from a group of mountaineers accusing that the couple's claim is fake. Commissioner Shukla immediately ordered a preliminary inquiry into the claim.
Later, a software engineer from Kolkata, Satyaroop Siddhanta said that the photos which Rathod couple took at the Everest summit were morphed.
A suspension order has been issued on November 15 and now a department inquiry will be initiated against the couple.

The indigenous Australians that occupied Australia for thousands of years before 'dem white folks' turned up had a wonderful world view which seems to be more and more frequently entwined in the speeches of Australian political leaders than ever before. 'Custodian' and 'custodianship' are words that are very soup du jour Down Under, especially as we try to heal the overwhelming gap between the two cultures that seem completely and diametrically opposed. One firmly didn't believe in private property, the other does, one believed in taking only what you need, the other believes that the only thing worth pursuing is growth.
The Vedic world view, as described by my old meditation instructor, is that there are three operators at play in the world around us. We have been obsessed in recent years mainly with one of them, creation, but the other two are equally as important, moderation and destruction.
Of the latter two, one is particularly dear to me, and that is moderation. In a world where most things are made to 'fuck and chuck' , some things are made to last, to nurture, to restore, to come back to.
Recently a man popped into my Studio. I knew him almost two decades ago. He had run a series of successful companies but had recently folded his most recent company and had divorced and remarried since I last saw him. He is an aesthete, a man who was always busy working hard in his companies but who enjoyed the fruits of his labour well. Cars, watches, shoes. That sort of thing.
He arrived at my Studio with a pair of GJ Cleverley shoes, they had seen better days and were so cracked and creased behind the toe box, mingey and greying and a bit of leather scalloped from the vamp, that I really did not know whether they were able to be restored.
It coincided with the delivery of two bottles from Wrist Clean , an excellent solution for cleaning watch faces as well as leather straps too.
What was intended to be a day creating and cutting new products wound up being a day of 'moderation' or perhaps the better word is 'maintenance' - the operator between creation and destruction - the monitoring, nurturing or preservation of that which is still living or working.
Like a cracked record I will explain the process, which ultimately never changes too much. Saphir renovateur, soak it in, beaver brush on black dye, let it dry, add black pomade by Saphir, let it dry, brush off, wax on Saphir black wax, wax off, high shine with water and excessive sweaty rubbing.
But then I decided to give the Wrist Clean a whirl too and it brought up the watch spectacularly.
With luck and care the watch will survive another thirty years, the leather strap a year to five years, the shoes, whilst probably due for a coffin and a cremation, restored now, they will probably go for another three years. Okay, you won't wear them to the opening night of the opera, but paired with a dark grey suit nobody will notice. Or just wear them with dark blue jeans on a Friday night so that when those cocktails you ordered spill onto your shoes you don't care.
If there is one pearl of wisdom to take from this blog post it is this: look after the things you have in your life, take an indigenous Australian approach, be a custodian, and nurture and preserve it for as long as you can. Not everything is about what is brand new.

Sweetners II
I hear everyone talking about sweetners…I use natural ones even sugar just limit the amount…I hope that everyone know that they should be worrying more about their carbohydrate intake then anything else…If they have a good diabetic nutrition class close to you, they usually offer them free at most local hospitals..more education would be taken and then misinformation would not spread like wildfire…it does upset me so I try and tell everyone I know who is diabetic…Sugar might spike your BS for a short time but what is most concerning is those pastas and bread which spike your BS for longer periods therefore causing much more damage…
9 replies
i use splenda because i have to have sweetness in my coffee dont use it in tea but have to in coffee but thats just me :)
splenda is a bit controversial…I believe it is not sugar and probably not very good for you or your diabetes…
I believe that SPlenda is refined using an alcohol sugar distillate process.. can't recall the name now, but truvia is made the same way (and I can't use either of them, because the way its processed adds other stuff in and my stomach hates it, big time)
The generic name for Splenda is Sucralose.
According to wikipedia: "It is manufactured by the selective chlorination of sucrose (table sugar), which substitutes three of the hydroxyl groups with chloride. This chlorination is achieved by selective protection of the primary alcohol groups followed by acetylation and then deprotection of the primary alcohol groups. Following an induced acetyl migration on one of the hydroxyl groups, the partially acetylated sugar is then chlorinated with a chlorinating agent such as phosphorus oxychloride, followed by removal of the acetyl groups to give sucralose.[10]"
I can't use it either as it gives me a "laxitive effect"
sounds sooo natural..NOT…us diabetics don't need to get cancers as well..thanks for the link. XX AC
I try to balance sugar with sugar substitutes … and you're right about the carbs and spikes. I also agree about the misinformation. I have found my meter gives me more information than any doctor I've encountered. Test! Test! Test!!!
Yes that is very true…I know it stinks to prick your finger and do a log but they are both sooo helpful…but a good diabetic book will give you some great info…There may be some at your local diabetic center (if you have one)..most hospitals do!!
I really am not much into sweeteners of any kind especially since I got the dx. I don't fear sugar; I get most of mine in fruit. My focus is on LIMITING carbs (carbs are an important nutrient) and portion control. Of course exercise and keeping stress to a minimum may well be the most important factors in good diabetic health.
I agree that cutting sugar from your diet is a great thing not just for diabetic reasons but it puts your ph level off and that effects ALL KINDS of things in our bodies…For me stress and steroids are both BS killers..I have MS and I need to be so careful about both of those things for both of my diseases..Thanks for your input

Triton Track Saws - Track Saw Blades And Accessories
A track saw combines the accuracy of a table saw with the portability of a circular saw. A track saw is essentially a specialized circular saw on steroids. What really sets a track saw apart is the track. Simply clamp the track to your workpiece adjacent to your cut line. The base of the track saw interlocks onto the track and slides smoothly along the track during the cut. The blade makes the cut along the edge of the track while the track helps prevent chipout, resulting in the smoothest cuts.
Perhaps the biggest selling point for track saws is that they're portable yet extremely accurate. Many woodworkers use a track saw exclusively for cutting workpieces to size. Others use a track saw to accurately break down sheet goods. The combination of the precision track with a quality saw blade means perfect cuts every time.
Triton Track Saws and Accessories
The Triton Plunge Track Saw, TTS1400 is available separately or with a money-saving package that includes the track and clamps. A complete Triton Track Pack, 59" Track, and Track Connectors are also available separately along with our Track Saw Quick Clamp Kit.
Track Master Saw Blades for Track Saws
The key to optimum performance and quality of cut with a track saw comes down to the track saw blade. A quality track saw blade can make all the difference. We offer a 160mm x 48T x 20mm Bore Track Master Saw Blade and a 165mm x 48T x 20mm Bore Track Master Saw Blade to upgrade your track saw into a precision tool for optimum cuts.

SERIES: Kingmaker Chronicles #1
PUBLISHER: Piatkus
GENRE: Fantasy
SOURCE: Publisher
LINKS: Goodreads | Book Depository
In the icy north, where magic is might, and all-powerful elite—ruthlessly guided by a glacial queen—has grown to dominate the world. Now rebellion is stirring in the magic-poor south where, for the first time in memory, a warlord has succeeded in uniting the tribal nations. Stuck in the middle is Cat, circus performer and soothsayer, safely hidden behind the harmless illusion of the circus. Until someone suspects she's more than she seems... Captured by the southern warlord, Griffin, Cat's careful camouflage is wearing thin. For how long can she conceal the true extent of her power? Faced with dragons, rival gods and the traitorous longings of her own heart, she must decide: is it time to claim her destiny and fight?
I love fantasy, but I genuinely don't remember the last time I read a book like this. Or, better yet, a book that would remind me of the time when I couldn't read anything else besides this genre. I feel like I've waited an eternity for the emotions to resurface, but thanks to this author the magic is back, and the wait was worth it!
The author did a fantastic job combining Greek mythology and places with her own vision of Gods and rulers—some of whom are anything but what you'd expect them to be like—she created a charming world that is action-packed, full of intriguing plots and that also offers a different kind of romance. Cat and Griffin are amazing, their banters are a pure pleasure to read and the tension building is so well done that you might struggle at times because you are not sure if you want them to go for it, or make the wait last longer... Not many books make you feel like a masochist of some sorts, just for this you should be really intrigued!
Magic, Gods, mythological creatures, realms, and everything fantasy that comes to mind is in this book. Grab your copy, stick your nose in it—yes, sniff the pages because we all know that's one of the biggest pleasures for a book lover—and let Amanda Bouchet enrapture you with a magically wondrous story...

When a box comes to your door filled to the brim with snacks, it makes your day 10 times better. OF course I soon as I opened my box of goodies, the hubby decides he wants to immediately grab all he wants and eats them while your back is turned. After the ambush, I was surprised at how much was still left in the box (he took quite a bit)
There's Chips, Dips, and bars which a lot of other things that I can't wait to try. So if you looking for something for yourself or need a healthy snack for your kids this HERE is the place to go.

text: Spring is here. The old-damned dog rolled in some thawed out dead thing in the woods and is making my eyes water with the stench. New damned-dog woke me up at 5:30 barking at the screeching birds after puking into the heating vent for a second time. Both of them are farting up a storm and so pleased with themselves. The dog shit from the winter has finally thawed and there are already flies buzzing around them. I'm still waiting for the poop fairy to show up. The birds had a fight over the feeder and the loser shit on my car window and all over the deck. Meanwhile the fecking cat has taken up with his skunk girlfriend and comes in all love stuck to add to the general stink of my house. It smells like the walking dead in here. When it gets warm enough I am moving into the shed.
