Football Post Practice: Dec. 10
Senior linebacker Martrell Spaight on being named to the AP All-SEC first team: "It's funny, someone tweeted me the other day telling me Sam Olajubutu was the last man to do it. He was my linebackers coach when I was in Junior College. I thought it was cool, he taught me a couple of things about playing linebacker I took into consideration and it's been paying off."
Junior wide receiver Keon Hatcher on the Texas rivalry: "I feel like we will have a lot of fans travel out to Houston for this game, which will be huge for us as our support system. Our plan is to prepare the best we can, and get the win in this so-called 'old-school' rivalry. Being from Oklahoma, I definitely disliked Texas growing up, and can't say that's changed."
Defensive coordinator Robb Smith on Spaight leading the conference with 123 tackles: "It is a testament to the way he has worked, and how hard to has worked. More than that it's a testament to our entire defense. When you play great defense you need 11 guys on the same page, and things were able to fall in line for him at least 120 plus times. That's a great feeling, I am really happy for him, but I know he wants to finish out the year with a great appearance in this bowl game as well."
Smith on today's focus of practice: "Today was definitely more fundamentals, without question. We have had some time off, and they have been with Coach Herbert in the weight room, so today was nothing crazy. We just wanted them to get out there, take on blocks, work on tackling, do some team stuff against our offense. Our main focus was getting these boys back into football shape."
Offensive coordinator Jim Chaney on having two running backs rush for 1,000+yds in Jonathan Williams and Alex Collins:"Anytime you can do that, that's something to hang your hat on. Two kids who have played hard all year long. Jonathan battled through injuries, but the kids up front stayed healthy which always helps blocking. Hunter Henry stayed healthy and was able to block, too. The help up front helped a lot. Those kids played hard, it doesn't happen often, at least that I can recall. "
Chaney on Williams' improvement from last year: "One thing Jonathan did is show up to practice every day, and not only did he do that but he played hard even when he was unable to practice. The one thing he learned this season is to be able to battle through injuries. No matter what happens, if you go on and play at the next level, and you get those opportunities to do so, you have to learn to play through that and I think he definitely did that this season."
The Razorbacks will travel to Houston to take on the Texas Longhorns in the AdvoCare V100 Texas Bowl. The SEC/BIG12 matchup will take place at NRG Stadium in Houston on Monday, Dec. 29 at 8 p.m. and will be nationally televised on ESPN.

(we have no VST3 support)How do you all feel about VST3 these days?
Zero interest in it unless Steinberg moves first and removes VST2 from Cubase. No single customer has asked for it, you get more request for LV2 or Linux or Protools 10, than VST3. It's a pure money loss from this side.

After the baby arrives the mother starts feeling tired during the day because of the many sleepless nights. At first the baby wakes up every two hours in order to be fed. But the mother has to be with the child during the day also, and doesn't have the time necessary for her to rest down.
You can use the times when a closer visitor comes in order to spend some time with the baby and you can catch more or less rest. Or the best way to get some sleep during the night is to invite a sleepover (your mother or one of your friends) that can take care of the baby (and bottle feed it) and you can rest your eyes and get your brain to function again. Drink more water from 8-12 or more glasses of water a day in order to maintain your body hydrated and able to function. If your torso is not hydrated, and if we add the fatigue to that, and the insomnia, it will guide you to a physical breakdown. That's why you must regulate this one by one. Try and do a bit of a work out in order to shake up your organism a bit. You'll restore a bit of your energy. And also if you get to practice this several days in a week it will serve your figure and shape. A refreshing shower afterwards will be just the deal to freshen you up. You should use some peppermint scented shower creams or a jasmine.
The morning represents the day. That's why you need to use every sunny moment there is. After you get up,go outside and stay there for a while, soak up some of the sunlight beams. It will awaken your organism and heat you up in a natural manner.Besides, never skip the breakfast, it is the most significant meal.That's why you should feed well, and first thing in the morning, cook yourself a healthy and energy full portion which will keep you up till the lunch time.If you start feeling weary, you should bring an energy snack like a protein bar.And eat only healthy food and a bunch of vegetables and fruits.You'll strengthen your organism, and also encourage your milk supply, and wouldn't need to concern about the nursing. Your kid will be healthy as well. You'll both love each other's fellowship and you wouldn't blame it for your fatigue, simply learn to relish in each time spend with your child.

It's soon on to a new search for a new football coach after the Charlevoix Public Schools Board of Education accepted high school football coach Joe Pruchnicki's resignation.
Pruchnicki resigned in late November, citing "personal reasons," reported the Charlevoix Courier in early December.
Karen Lipe, administrative assistant for the district, said the district was expected to post an advertisement for the position Thursday, Dec. 20.
Too, the district will add 130 iPads to grades 9, 11 and 12 at a cost of $50,000, which comes from the district's technology bond.
"This will allow us to address many of the mixed grade level issues the high school is experiencing," wrote district technology director Scott Mays in a memo to the board.
The 130 iPads will be added to the 370 the district is already using. These are distributed across students, staff and board members, said Mays' memo.
"After approximately 30 school days of classroom use, we are seeing some very positive results and continue to refine the process to make sure the initiative is successful," said Mays.
Finally, the board approved the hiring of Pete Scholten for the varsity girls soccer coach and Brandon Webb for the position of special education aide.
"He has been subbing in that position for some time," said district superintendent Robert Gendron.

Senators re-sign Jim O'BrienNHL.com @NHLdotcom
The Ottawa Senators on Wednesday re-signed restricted free-agent forward Jim O'Brien to a two-year contract that the team says is worth $1.275 million, an average annual value of $637,500.
"It's nice to have a contract, but I'm looking at it like any other year," O'Brien told the Ottawa Citizen. "I have a lot to prove to myself and my teammates."
O'Brien split the 2011-12 season between Ottawa and the Binghamton Senators of the American Hockey League. After scoring seven goals and adding seven assists for 14 points in 27 games at Binghamton, he was called up by the Senators on Feb. 3. O'Brien scored three times and added three assists for six points in 28 games. He scored his first NHL goal in Ottawa's 6-2 win against the Florida Panthers on Feb. 15.
The 23-year-old also played in each of the seven playoff games of Ottawa's Eastern Conference Quarterfinal series against the New York Rangers. His lone point was an assist on Kyle Turris' game-winning goal in overtime of Game 4 on April 18.
"He showed the rest of our young guys in the organization that if you work had and you're a good citizen and do what we ask you to do in Binghamton, we will certainly call you up and give you a chance," assistant general manager Tim Murray told the newspaper.
The native of Maplewood, Minn., was Ottawa's first-round pick (No. 29) in the 2007 NHL Draft, He has six points in 34 NHL games and 78 points in 183 games at the AHL level, where he helped Binghamton win the 2011 Calder Cup.
The Senators also announced they have signed defenseman Eric Gryba to a two-year, two-way contract.
Gryba, 24, spent last season with the Binghamton Senators of the American Hockey League. He established career highs in goals (five), assists (15) and games (73), and recorded 98 penalty minutes.
"He made big strides last year ... so we just expect him to get better and better," Murray told the newspaper. "I believe he can come to training camp and compete for a job at the (NHL)."

Think I have it bad? Meet my friend and fellow lung challenged athlete….Mike McBride.
Michael has really bad emphysema and has to be connected to supplemental oxygen 24 hours a day just to stay alive. He actually has a tiny hole in his neck , which allows the oxygen to be delivered directly to his lungs (what they call " Transtracheal Oxygen ).
Well, despite the bad hand he was dealt in life, Michael competes in marathons and climbs Skyscrapers for fun ! (and for charity). What's even more amazing, is that he has to to pull a 100lb cart behind him which holds his oxygen tanks. When he does a race he goes through so much oxygen (17 lpm), that he has to have people positioned along the course to help change out all the empty tanks …. A logistical marvel in itself.
On April 20th, 2009, Mike will be the very first person with severe emphysema ever granted a disability slot to compete in the Boston marathon, and I will be the first severe asthmatic to do the same.
Mike's been a tremendous inspiration for me and many many others, sick or healthy. If it wasn't for Mike, I don't think I would have pursued Boston the way I did. When I first applied I didn't think I stood a chance of getting in. It wasn't until Mike broke the news about his own success in being accepted, that I suddenly felt a new sense of enthusiasm for what seemed so out of reach before.
Wouldn't it be something if we pull this off !
PS……Mike did a stair climb today. 54 stories in 28 minutes! Hauling his oxygen and all. Absolutely amazing.

Beginning in early June 2012, the GMAT exam includes a new section for "Integrated Reasoning". This new component is designed to measure a test taker's ability to evaluate information presented in new formats and from multiple sources. It is not included in the total score. The Integrated Reasoning score will provide a new data point for schools to differentiate among candidates for their programs.
For more information:
http://www.gmac.com/gmat/next-generation-gmat-information-center.aspx [1]
The GRE score ranges were revised in August 2011. GRE scores are valid for 5 years so there may be various combinations of old and new GRE scores ranges reflected in SPIRE.
There are four columns on the Applicant Lookup Results page that display GRE scores:
|SPIRE column name
|Score Range
|New GRE Verbal
|New Verbal scores
|130 – 170
|New GRE Quantitative
|New Quantitative scores
|130 – 170
|GRE Verbal
|Old Verbal scores
|200 – 800
|GRE Quantitative
|Old Quantitative scores
|200 – 800
The GRE test scores that are received from ETS (Educational Testing Service) are displayed in the appropriately labeled columns based on the new or old score ranges. We will also display converted scores based on a concordance table provided by ETS. In some cases, ETS will send us converted scores and in other cases we will programmatically generate converted scores.
Converted scores are identified on the Applicant Lookup Results page by an asterisk following the converted GRE scores column.

Frater Reflect (H.T.U.U)
Cameron Holden Gaster
Qabalah derives from the word Qebel which means "to receive". There is good reason for this. The best technology in the past for organising and storing certain information was the organic human biocomputer. Does this sound strange? It shouldn't. There were no pcs, laptops, tablets, or even word processors. Using Magic, the Alchemist could nonetheless use the Tree of Life symbol system to program and file information in the mind of the alchemist.
The use of talismans have more applications then people oftern realize. Think of a talisman as a disk of containing software. Once you download the information it can be readily accessed whenever needed. All you need is a password.
When I was in confinement in prison, which was a small closet sized room with one other person and you never are able to leave for months, I had a roommate who kept pacing back and forth in the cell.
I thought he was rapping because he was waving his hands around as though he was rehearsing music. I was surprised by his answer when I asked him what he was doing. He told me he was going over books.
"Books?" I asked.
"Yes. I've memorized eight whole books," he replied.
I obviously didn't believe him at first. But after spending three months in the cell listening to him recite every single word of certain books from start to finish, I was astonished. Some of these books I was even familiar with. This impressed me deeply, because at the time I was studying ways to store information in my mind, since the Golden Dawn requires so much memorisation of material. After all, once an alchemist has studied aspects of nature, they still needs to organize and store this information.
The Qabalistic Tree of Life provides an excellent symbol system for this purpose, not completely unlike a computer desktop.
Let's take, for example. a Mercury talisman.
To begin with, Mercury corresponds to the Sephirah of Hod on the tree. Hod and Mercury represent splendor, aspects of the intellect state, and other associations. To Hod and Mercury are attributed certain names of power, expressions of writing, language, communication, science, magic, alchemy, etc. I can therefore file any given experience or knowledge of these subjects in to the filing folder of Hod, just like a folder on a computer desktop.
So as not to need to have these associations run through your mind all day, you can store it in a talisman, as you would a DVD or backup disk on a computer. In this way, certain key words can be awakened and reawakened in the mind of the Magician.
Thus Golden Dawn Magicians use the 10 folders of the Qabalistic Tree of Life as a filing system for information and for life experience.
There're many ways to apply this technology once we understand how it has been used it in the past.
For example, how about a certain fragrance a loved one regularly wore. What does that scent later awaken in you when you come across it radomly waling in public. Does it not conjure up memories or feelings associated with that loved one, that you mentally attached to that smell?
For example, my grandmother loved cardinals (bright red birds). Since she passed away, my Mom and I have attached happy memories of my Grandmother to the symbol of a cardinal. So every time my Mother or I see a cardinal, even if only in a picture, we automatically reflect on Grandma.
This process can be extremely useful. Understanding how to attach thoughts to tools therefore makes "programming" your "bio computer" simple.
The true lab of the alchemist exists on many levels; the chemicals in your body, to accessing and taking conscious control of the subconscious system that controls your body, etc. The spiritual technology of the Golden Dawn can help you harness the power of this ancient filing system of associations built up for Centuries around the Qabalistic Tree of Life.
As a modern individual, I can hear you object: "But we have books, internet, etc. Why do I need to approach my owna minds though it were a computer?"
Because this process itself is an alchemical process that changes and evolves you in our quest to become "more than human."

Phally is 12. She has just completed primary school. She is full of hopes and dreams for her future and really wants to continue her schooling. Her poverty stricken mother can't afford to support her in school - she is needed at home for domestic labour.
What a waste of ambition and talent in a country which sorely needs educated young people to take their place in developing and leading their communities.
Opportunity Cambodia was established to enable children like Phally, living in some of the poorest rural villages in Cambodia, to have an education and the opportunity to live their dreams. We provide the children with nutritious food, health care, clothing and an education through to college and/or vocational training. It is remarkable how quickly the children respond to our program - their health improves, their energy and confidence increases and they get good results at school.
These children are the future of Cambodia. Please help us to give more children like Phally the opportunity of an education and a brighter future.
We would be delighted if you wished to support our work. Donors funds go directly to the care and education of the children. Private funds cover the costs of overseas travel, administration and marketing.
You can make a general donation or sponsor a child. Your donation can be a one-off donation or a regular donation. For example:
A one-off donation
$20 buys uniforms for a child for a year
$60 buys and maintains a bicycle for a student
A regular donation
$30 per month pays for medicines for the children
$60 per month pays the salary of a part-time teacher
Sponsor a child
AUD 700 or AUD 60 per month supports the care and education of a day student
AUD 1200 or AUD100 per month supports the care and education of a weekly boarding student.
AUD 1500 or AUD 125 per month supports the care and education of a high school student attending our Siem Reap Centre

Disney star Olivia Holt is part of the 10th Annual St. Jude Thanks and Giving Campaign this holiday season. The 16-year-old I Didn't Do It actress – as well as Jennifer Aniston, Robin Williams, Sofia Vergara, Shaun White, Michael Strahan, Luis Fonsi and Marlo Thomas have lent their time and support this year to help and ask consumers to donate while they shop this holiday season and join St. Jude in finding cures and saving children.
Holt created and designed a special Heart of St. Jude t-shirt – now available on giftshop.stjude.org. Sizes are in youth and toddler. One hundred percent of profits go back to the hospital. Sabrina Soto and Jennette McCurdy are also participating. Celebrity Teen Scoop recently caught up with Olivia to find out more about the campaign, her series, and her holiday plans.
See also: Olivia Holt: Hollywood Christmas Parade Fun
CTS: You will be featured in the 10th annual St. Jude Thanks and Giving Campaign this holiday season. What is the campaign all about? What inspired you to get involved?
OH: The St. Jude Thanks and Giving campaign is an unprecedented union of celebrities, media, retail and corporate partners that asks consumers to donate during the holiday season and join St. Jude in finding cures and saving children.
Funds raised during this unique, national campaign support the lifesaving work being done at St. Jude, which provides hope for children fighting cancer and other deadly diseases and where no family ever pays St. Jude for anything.
CTS: For the campaign, you also designed the "Heart of St. Jude" t-shirt. Could you tell us about it? How did you come up with the design?
OH: I loved the idea of designing something that would be a meaningful gift to give and receive during the holiday season, with proceeds benefiting the kids of St. Jude. When I think of St. Jude, I think of having a big heart, so the shirt has two large hearts on it. The fun and colorful design reminds me of the hope and joy of the St. Jude kids I've met.
100 percent of the proceeds, after all related expenses, benefit the lifesaving mission of St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.
Visit giftshop.stjude.org to purchase my Heart of St. Jude shirt.
CTS: Jennifer Aniston, Robin Williams, Sofia Vergara, Jennette McCurdy, and Shaun White are also involved with the campaign. Have you had a chance to meet them?
OH: Unfortunately no. I now have the opportunity though, and couldn't be any more grateful for this team.
CTS: What are other ways that you give back during the holidays?
OH: Previous years I've helped in food kitchens, giving warm meals to the homeless. I've gone to hospitals to visit children and this year I'll take every opportunity to do all of that again and more.
CTS: What do you plan to do this holiday season? Do you have any special holiday traditions? What are you thankful for this year?
OH: My family and I put on Christmas music and decorate the tree. We also bake lots of treats and watch movies. And this year I'm truly thankful for every opportunity I've been given. It was a great year full of lots of exciting and memorable things that I'll forever be grateful for.
CTS: You are set to star in the new Disney Channel series, I Didn't Do It. Could you tell us about the series and your role?
OH: This show is definitely something to look out for. It"s so relatable and has this uniqueness to it, the ending of the show starts at the beginning and the rest is a flashback. And the show is revolved around these five friends who are making their way through highschool and getting themselves in stuck in situations that they wish they didn't get themselves into. My character, Lindy, is kind of the glue that holds the friendship together. She adores her friends and has a very passionate heart.
CTS: Do you still keep in touch with all of your former Kickin' It co-stars? What are some of your fondest memories of the show?
OH: I sure do. Their still like my family and they still work on the same studio lot as I do so I get to see them pretty often. I grew up with those guys so every memory I have is a memory of friendship and learning so many different things, whether it was being up in the writers room and watching how they work or when they guys taught me how to play video games and shoot free throws on the basketball court.
CTS: What do you like doing in your downtime with family and friends?
OH: I'm always down to do anything in my free time. I'm a huge rollercoaster fanatic so I love going to theme parks. My friends and I love shopping and watching movies. I love to be outside and explore so hiking is something fun that I love to do as well.
CTS: What else is up next for you?
OH: Really excited to share my music with everyone. I've been working on that quite a bit and I can't wait for everyone to hear!!

I took a cute Halloween decoration and made even CUTER with buttons and Stickles.
This cracks me up and I'm tempted to hang on someone's door, or I could use it at my own work desk. Hmm, let's see, looks like the witch is IN.
I went button crazy along the hats band and filled in all the spots with Purple Stickles. I used Stardust over the other areas.
Thanks for looking! Spicey Cat Chick =^..^=

Haha, no, I'm not spooky! But the theme over at CRC are! Spooky!
I am happy to join Craft Rocket Challenges as a GDT for this challenge. CRC is a new challengeblog on the block, with a very talented owner and Design Team! Make sure to visit them!
I used a great image from Make It Crafty called "Frazzled Cat". I had quite some job to figure out HOW on earth print on black paper... (I still want a printer with white ink!). Papers are Bo Bunny, luckily in matching colors (!) since I tend to color first and then hunt down matching papers.
I love using black. Black papers, black pencils, black markers... for everything, not only shading. After "converting" entirely to Prismacolor pencils, my huge amount of Promarkers collect dust. This time I picked up my Black and Cool Grey 5 (Promarkers).
So how did I do this?
1. Printed the image as usual
So how did I do this?
1. Printed the image as usual
2. Used the Cool Grey 5 to trace the black lines of the image
3. With the black marker; I colored the entire background and inside of the image, leaving a thin rim for the cool grey to show where the lines are. You might have to this several times to get a even layer of black... (I have several black markers, so not afraid of using them *lol*)
4. Picked up my pencils to make the fur. I used White and greys. For the eyes and wings I used a dark green, and a light green yellowish pencil to make the eyes really pop in the darkness...
5. To make some areas in the black more shiny, I used my black pencil.
Other solutions: If your not afraid of using a lot of printer ink, you can manipulate the image to show white lines on black background. Or if you have a Silhouette, or similar machine, use a white pen instead of cutting blade ( I used that feature on my retired Silhouette, but not on my new Cameo. I totally forgot I had this option when making this coloring... )
That's it from me, thank you for reading!
Thank you to Lisa and CRC for this GDT spot, I wish you all the best :)

Pros and Cons of Blogging:
Like everything, blogging has its upsides and its downsides. These are mine:
- Already having read everything.
- Realizing that you'll never get a Jericho Barrons or any other Romance character
- People think you're going to kill them because you never come out of your room, since you're either writing or reading
- Losing sleep because you have to finish a book or else you'll die from suspense
- Cliffhangers in an ARC when the next book hasn't been written yet
- Everyone automatically assumes you've read anything that's ever been written.
- If you haven't read something, everyone in a fifty foot radius turns to you and gasps
- The formatting of every blog post
- Realizing you're not going to be as awesome as that other blogger
- No one understands your sense of humor, since most of it comes in the form of snarky book quotes
- The amazing people that you'll meet
- Free books
- Reading everything before anyone
- Becoming a better writer
- The feeling you get when you get a like that's not from you family member
- Getting an ARC in the mail
- Better memory skills from differentiating between one book from another
- Patience from waiting for a book to get better
- Finding great books
- An outlet for your rants about annoying books that's not to your friends
What are your pros and cons of blogging?
Thank you, Parajunkee, for coming up with this idea.

Government to BP Oil: "You're fired!"
It won't happen.
Let's play back the tape and see what the recurring theme is:
Investment and Mortgage Banking – Too Big To Fail
Health Care System – Too Big to Fix
American Automobile Industry – Interconnected Industries Too Big to Let Die
and, most recently:
Big Oil Blowup – BP Oil Technology Too Complicated for Federal Takeover – Hence, BP Too Big to Fire
It is not a curious matter that none of the above occurrences represent government that is too big. Rather, they represent corporate bungling on a scale so immense that government ended up being the controlled and not controlling one. The very nature of larger and larger corporate size through loosely regulated market consolidation has, with greater frequency, backed the Federal government into a corner. The government in case after case has essentially been forced to reactively capitulate to corporate fumbling, incompetence, and other sorts of mishaps; because to not do so would cause even more harm to its other constituencies.
A corporation's successful development in America is a race to be the first (or second) to the top. To be the first (or second) is usually the formula to be the biggest. Entrepreneurial discovery, innovation, and product development is a race to the patent office, then to the venture capitalists and banks; and, finally, a race to go public. If a company can be the first to go public, it can be the first to generate the massive funds to scale up and get its name and product out there first. This is immensely important because it provides the means to dominate the market by acquiring its smaller, but potentially dangerous, competitors. It's not that competitors products wouldn't prove to be better, it's usually that the competitors are smothered by the avalanche when beaten to the punch. The losing competitors are usually left the scraps of only being able to eat around the edges of the big, new pie. The slow, chiseling background sounds of competitors are just a reminder to the winner that it needs to continue its voraciousness to dominate.
An inevitable result is that most industries mature into a couple or maybe a few dominant players. These dominant players, in effect, end up by virtue of their early success in controlling large parts of societal infrastructure. The reliance upon this infrastructure is usually so great and so widespread that even minor disruptions, glitches, or upheavals of the dominant players are immediately and widely felt.
Recall a while back when Twitter had a very brief technical mishap that disrupted its service. Half of the United States seemed to go aflutter or atwitter over this. Think of brownouts or temporary power outages by utility companies, cellphone system mishaps, or internet service provider interruptions. These are relatively small inconveniences that cause palpable public panic attacks. When e coli or salmonella outbreaks threaten, it causes systemic fear. Bad milk, tomatoes, apples, lettuce, spinach, or beef cause havoc throughout society because of the reality that big corporations control so much of the food sourcing. If Tyson Food has gas, the chicken industry burps in disharmony.
When the scale of problem becomes a notch or so higher on the calamity scale, all hell can (and does) break loose. I think that it's time for the United States to take a necessary and healthy step forward and begin to regulate the extent to which a company can gain market share. We have seen more than enough of the steroidal corporations that dominate to the point of societal damage. The benefits to society of the economies of scale have a ferocious proportional step-brother – the massive disasters that occur when the incompetent or greedy side of scale reveals itself. These corporate catastrophes not only paralyze society; they render government virtually impotent.

'It's definitely positive being 2-1 up, than being 1-2 down'
With rain reducing the bilateral series to a five-match affair and India trailing, Australian opener Aaron Finch feels that the pressure will be on the home side to win the remaining two one-dayers.
"India have to win two to clinch the series, we have to win one to win the series. So that's a position we obviously are happy being. It's a case of two games to go.
"It's like a mini-final series. It's definitely positive being 2-1 up, better than being 1-2 down. We can't control the weather," Finch told reporters after the match between the two sides was called off due to wet outfield without a single ball being bowled in Cuttack on Saturday.

'We're playing good cricket at the moment'
This was a second successive wash out in the series after Ranchi where the match was called off with India on 27 for no loss in 4.1 overs, chasing Australia's 296.
The destructive opener said Australia will seek to clinch the series by taking an unassailable 3-1 lead in the sixth match in Nagpur.
"We've still two games left. We're very confident that we're playing good cricket at the moment and I'm sure India as well. They were in a good position the other night (in Ranchi) when the game was called off unfortunately."
Such wash-outs mean the days are long for the team members as Finch said: "Yesterday we had a big table tennis tournament as a squad. It was just a bit of fun. There is not a lot you can do around the hotel, with a pool table, a table tennis table."

'The new rules have made it extremely exciting'
A lot of coffee was drunk. They are quite long days, and very boring days sometimes when you're sitting around not knowing what's happening the following day, whether you're going to play or not, whether it's going to be a short game. So it's just very boring, really."
High scoring totals have been the norm of the series and Finch attributed it to the batsmen-friendly new rules.
"I think one-day cricket has become very entertaining now. There was probably a chance that Twenty20 could overtake it as the entertaining game, so to speak. But I think the way the game has changed now. The new rules have made it extremely exciting," he said.

>I'm home from ALA and the Caldecott considerations only to bump back into the Newbery: Gary Schmidt and a gaggle of his Calvin College students are currently navigating their way to our offices. They are all in town this month for a course on "The New England Saints," (Hawthorne, Dickinson, etc.) so I'm guessing this afternoon's visit must be a very extracurricular activity. Or maybe Gary sees us as his lucky charm–the last time he did this was the day his Lizzie Bright and the Buckminster Boy was named a Newbery Honor.
I did a little bit of podcast reporting from the awards press conference we hope to have up for you by the end of the week.

|For More Quick Takes, visit Conversion Diary!
- 1 - After 3 full weeks at the new position, I've realized that I'm going to have a lot more free time on my hands after work. Even all my friends work ministry like jobs so us getting together during the week isn't reality right now. However, I'm looking forward to filling my time with new activities - even running (which I've done sadly very little of lately). New Year, New Me - I've gotta get back on the wagon, as they say.
- 2 - What I wrote last week...
Over the last 6 or 8 weeks I've been watching Bones. I think I might be a tad bit addicted, but I really want to see what's going to happen! I'm watching Season 6, Episode 20 right now! Bones and Booth still haven't got together - he's ready & she's not, she's ready & he's dating someone, now they are both single & she thinks they'd only be good in bed but not in a relationship. I realize that their love story (or lack there of) is fictional - yes, I know, it's just a tv show - but my point is that if these writers can't find a way for them to be together then is there hope for me! I guess, I've got the Creator of the Universe on my side, writing my love story - so that should mean something. I'm sure it does!!! And He's got to be one it, right now!Well, I'm sad and excited to say that I'm through Bones - just one episode to catch up to the show in 'real time' - AND...as most of you probably already know because you've been living in 2012 for some time now - Bones and Booth are finally together, mostly because they had a kid together. It is such a satisfying end to the entire build up - maybe they'll even decide to get married this season!
- 3 - News on the Bird Front - it's a NO-GO. Mum actually asked Dad (& a good thing too), and he said NOPE, not today. So now we're back to square one. I'm thinking either 1) telling all my siblings that if we would just all go to Church together on Christmas morning, that's all dad would want or 2) buying him an empty birdcage as a decoration for outside! It'll probably be #2 as they haven't been to Church in years and don't see the value that my parents and I do.
- 4 - I've been wrapping packages and packages and packages - and I've got some good gifts! Check out these photos!
|Inside this gift for my mom is an AMAZING DIY thing that I can't reveal
just yet because she just might be reading
and it'll spoil the surprise - but believe me, it looks WAY
more amazing than the desserts in the next take!
|And a paper bow that I made last night!
Sometimes I surprise even myself...
- 5 - I went to a cookie ornament exchange and this is what I brought...
I was a tad bit embarrassed. However, I really should not try to bake pretty things - I got taken off cupcake frosting duty about six weeks ago by Erica because of how bad they were. But my crafty projects are SO much better! That present up there is just the beginning of how excellent they were!

Merry Christmas!

A T-shaped design has been announced the winner of a competition for the new design of the next generation of pylons.
Danish engineering firm Bystrup beat five other finalists to win the £5,000 prize, in a contest run by DECC, National Grid and the Royal Institute of British Architects.
There were 250 entries to choose from when the Pylon Design completion was launched May 23, with the six finalists unveiled Sept. 14 at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London.
The challenge was to design a new pylon to replace the current "triangle" design - which have been in use since the 1920s - but there is no guarantee that they will be built.
"This is an innovative design which is simple, classical and practical. Its ingenious structure also means that it will be much shorter and smaller than existing pylons and therefore less intrusive," said Energy and Climate Change Secretary Chris Huhne.
"In the T-Pylon we have a design that has the potential to be a real improvement on the steel lattice tower," said National Grid Executive Director Nick Winser.
"It's shorter, lighter and the simplicity of the design means it would fit into the landscape more easily. In addition, the design of the electrical components is genuinely innovative and exciting."
The National Grid has said they will now work further with Bystrup to develop its T-Pylon design further along with two other finalists: Ian Ritchie Associates on their Silhouette design, and New Town Studio's Totem design.
Right now there are more than 88,000 pylons in the UK, including 22,000 on National Grid's main transmission network in England and Wales.

In which I make some clothes, expound on the virtues of the flat fell seam finish, and proclaim "you CAN sew your own clothes, and even wear them in public".
Sunday, December 02, 2007
Another winter skirt, continued
This is a very simple skirt. I got the side seams on the skirt and on the lining sewn up and so the two pieces were now tubes that I could put together, wrong sides together, and stitch around the top. I am going to finish the back vent at the very end, after I have hemmed the whole thing.
In the meantime, I decided not to do darts. The fabric is loose and it wouldn't look as good with hard darts sewn in. Instead I convert darts to ease, after having learned I could do this from a useful book I bought some time ago.
It is from the Taunton Press which is the company that also publishes Threads magazine. And it is calledCouture Sewing Techniques.
My understanding, having done this several times now, is that you just take the excess fabric where the dart would normally go and spread it out into tiny little wrinkles called "ease". The top photo of my skirt shows how I have pinned the excess fabric to the facing.
This photo shows what it looks like after sewing the lining and skirt (attached to each other by a line of machine basting which you can also see in this photo) to the facing.
This is what it looks like on the right side, before pressing. My hand is holding the facing.
This is what it looks like after I pressed it all flat (I haven't pressed the facing to the inside yet). And I also have not done the understitching.
Here it is, all finished along the top. The ease is right under where the clothespins are. With this fabric, you really don't notice it at all. Now I have to hem the fabric and the lining and then stick the vents together.
3 comments:
Very pretty Julia. Nice job on easing the fabric instead of darts. I love all books by Claire Schaeffer.

Thakur Ranjit SinghThe lament of an ethnic journalist in a White country is same as a peacock dancing in the forest. Never mind how charmingly, elegantly and gracefully the peacock will dance, hardly anybody notices. I had given this article to NZ Herald some two weeks ago for publication. It appears they decided not to publish it. Hence this peacock will once again dance in the jungle, FIJI PUNDIT. And this ethnic person is talking about a White Institution this time.
A Frankenstein monster is what you create but cannot control. This aptly applies to creation of Super City in Auckland. This monster, among others, is Council Controlled Organisations (CCOs) which ironically are uncontrollable and not answerable to the elected officials. These unelected bureaucrats wield immense power, which creates the situation of a tail wagging the dog. One notorious omnipotent Frankenstein Monster is Auckland Transport, not answerable to anybody. This article shows how this overrides our elected officials. And if a Brexit type referendum were held here, we would have "Auexit", where Aucklanders would opt to be freed from the monster of a mismanaged Super City, and unbridled powers of its uncontrollable CCOs. Here is an insight into what you would not read in a mainstream newspaper in New Zealand.
Yes, I am talking about the Frankenstein monster that Rodney Hide has created: AUCKLAND - THE SUPERCITY and its children. Today I will speak about one child from the group of siblings called Council Controlled Organisation (CCO). The irony is that this beast, called Council Controlled Organisation in reality, nobody can control – not even its father, Auckland Council. Today I will talk about a naughty and ill-disciplined child called Auckland Transport (AT). It has been causing havoc in Auckland with its grey and blue tinted glasses. Auckland Council and the mainstream media ignored the plea of this ethnic blogger some three years ago, and hence failed to see that peacock dance, as it did that in the forest, in blog, FIJI PUNDIT.
This was about the 2013 scrapping of history in Henderson to remove Christmas Parade because the Johnnie – come – late, AT objected about some transport issues we were unaware of for over 11 years.
|As the linked article by the same author shows, AT's past officious and unbending attitude resulted in scrapping of 11-year Santa Parade in Henderson.
In 2013, before the last Auckland Council elections, Waitakere Ethnic Board (WEB) held an election forum. Yours truly as Chair of the Forum raised this issue with potential mayors. John Minto, John Palino, Reuben Shadbolt, Uesifili Unasa and Penny Bright (minus Len Brown) were there and the unbridled powers of the unelected, and at times, unaccountable CCOs were seen as a matter of concern. Penny Bright was the most ardent critic of CCOs: "I believe that big corrupt corporates control Auckland through Council Controlled Organisations "(CCOs) where unelected businesspeople run the Auckland region like a business, by business, for business. CCOs must go," she told the forum.
|The way AT 'controls Auckland Council brings to reality this satirical depiction of a tail wagging the dog.
My blog KIWI PUNDIT raised concerns that were not heeded. Here an arm was concerned about disruption of bus services to a few hundred people for two hours in a small suburb of West Auckland. On the other hand the Auckland Mayor and Auckland Council, have no trouble in shutting off Queen Street to allow topless women to have 'Boobs on bike' or some parade that far under weigh the fun and pleasure of so many children in Waitakere. The Council needs to have its priorities right, have some control over its unelected CCOs and not allow the over-paid bosses in ivory towers to displace our elected representatives and Local Boards.
Now, three years on, NZ Herald, in its editorial on 24 June, 2016 seems to have woken up to this concerns and has raised issues about multi-million dollar branding by painting the buses in same colour. Auckland Ratepayers' Alliance spokeswoman Jo Holmes, in a NZ Herald statement said that the move was "insane" and a "waste of money", and there were lot more transport issues that should take priority instead of painting the buses. Ms Holmes branded Auckland Transport priorities as muddled and rightfully said Auckland needed more reliable service, not more expensive council branding. It is estimated this is going to cost millions.
North Shore residents are also concerned that the fleet of 75 Birkenhead orange and cream buses, which was part of the neighbourhood's identity was being lost in the Super City through this greyish blue painting.
NZ Herald questioned this use (read abuse) of public funds: "The board's decision to paint the buses is a classic illustration of how misguided corporate thinking can be when the body is using public funds." The editorial also questioned the ability and talent of Auckland Transport for imposing such unpopular decisions without any solid customer research. Auckland Transport was accused of promoting itself by flexing its muscles, the action that cannot be questioned. It concluded:
"Corporate hubris in the public sector can always pass on its costs, and since these bodies are protected from political interference they cannot be punished by voters either. AT looks determined to make us grey and blue."
Indeed if Auckland Council had taken any notice of that peacock, KIWI PUNDIT, dancing in the forests some three years ago, when Henderson Christmas Parade was unceremoniously scrapped, perhaps Auckland Transport today may have been more controllable, answerable, accountable and dependable.

Lap Band surgery might seem like the faultless solution to obesity for those who are stressed to lose weight. In spite of everything, a humble, non-aggressive surgery could make you feel filled with just a few tastes of your mealtime, thus helping you to overcome your weight.
1) Patient Qualifications
Lap Band and other weight loss surgery selections are not offered for all kind of patients. In the US, the National Institutes of Health made rules that state-run that weight loss surgery is only a choice for persons who are clinically fat and are suffering from unfriendly health due to their weight problem. Body mass directory is found by captivating your weight in pounds, multiplying it by 703, and separating it by the square of height in inches. It can also be originate by separating your weight in kilograms by the square of height in meters. You can also go for doctors at Lap Band Surgery of southern California.
2) Non-Medical Considerations
Some patients who succeed for the surgery under the simple physical experiences should not have it complete. Lap Band surgery needs a modification in the patient's diet once the surgery is wide-ranging. Meanwhile the patient will not be overwhelming as much meal as before the surgery due to the smaller stomach shaped by the process, the minerals and nutrients in the meal that is eaten must be prudently measured.

Yes, I am here, and I had intended to keep the laptop lid shut all day today. The sun is shining and we have not walked out the door to walk in it yet!
I had to let people know, that when you sell your e-books through Amazon, you are allowed to earn a commission of up to 10% for advertising your own book. How cool is that? I mistakenly thought that the commission didn't count if I referred it from a link on my own blog. Found out I was wrong yesterday!
All you e-book authors out there, make a little bit more by joining up on this link: https://affiliate-program.amazon.com/gp/associates/join/landing/main.html
(Don't listen to me, I got the percentage wrong before, best just visit the site and decide for yourself.)
I am hoping that my brain is improving, although on the surface it may seem like it is not. I am in wait and see mode, and hopefully will not need to visit a doctor. I had a bit of a cold recently and near the end got all stuffed up in the sinuses, with a headache. Sorry to get all graphic here…. As it was clearing up, I had some bouts of fluid leaking from my nose, in an unusual manner. Funny colour too – transparent but slightly hmmm yellowy-orange? in colour. Strangely reminded me of bile. And anyway, now I feel much better, and the cold is gone.
After a bit of research I am creating my own bit of fiction about my brain blowing up and bursting…. LOL! And that of course explains all my craziness…. In my invented story, I am much more calm and rational now than ever before, because my bubble popped and my brain is restored to normal size. Hehe, my kids tell another story… in which I am the same as ever…. Silly ole me!
Anyway, my day off was kind of hoping for time to let my brain cool off after all the work setting up another blog, which I am really wondering now if it was such a bright idea. I have too many really!
==== show's over… that's pretty well all the interesting stuff said and done, just boring notes to myself about my blogs beyond this point! Sorry folks! ====
I may squash my photography blog into this blog. Maybe.
My wildersoul.com blog has been a great place to learn about what doesn't work for me. That's partly why I started the new dissolvingbuildings.com blog. There are still things that work best on a self-hosted domain though. Any tricky things that need a script. Like the utilities that my son makes. Have you seen the blank-circle-frame generator? That won't run on this blog, or on the paid WP.com blog. And the embedded Amazon shop is pretty cool. Can't be embedded here, only linked, which takes the viewer off-site).
The problem with PayPal. It sends me your email and your name attached to your PayPal account. (I received my first payment just recently and so now I know.) This presents a problem. I would need to win people's trust, and that would include providing a privacy policy, and some sort of security of data assurance written into terms of service or something like that. Legal stuff. Basically, "I won't use your email address for anything except correspondence about your purchase, and will not give it out to anyone else."
So although selling direct means a lower price for the buyer, and a higher commission for me, it comes with its own problems. Selling through Amazon, although they take commission off for themselves, has a trusted payment system in place.
CreateSpace has a thing where I can order my paperbacks at cost price, which is about $2.15 (US), and then I can change the delivery address to send the books to the person who wants to buy them. I will have to check if there is free delivery within the US. This could be a good option for bulk orders, for schools, or hospitals. I could ask for a very small commission on top. This could be good for orders of say 10 books for a therapist's waiting room.
I feel disappointed about the PayPal situation. However, perhaps it is all part of building up a reputation and a brand, and putting all of the legal bits in place. That's a big job to do and requires some research, and possibly trusting a lawyer of some sort.
The dissolvingbuildings.com blog has bridged a gap between my blog world, and my extended family. Which is a good thing, and is a stepping stone to connecting to the neighbourhood and community.
I have bottled up some excitement in what I call a special treat for myself. I bought a guillotine, no don't call me Madame! And refilled the toner for our black and white printer, so I will be very soon designing colouring books and printing, trimming and stapling them myself. And printing off sheets of business cards on the special cardboard I bought. So the physical advertising in the community will start fairly soon.
Hopefully I will settle into a bit of a routine over the next week or two. I find it very hard to switch into new habits, it takes time and repetition. If you are reading all this boring stuff, then please bear with me over the next few weeks as I behave a bit like a spider in a spaceship, making very deranged-looking webs for a while, until I get things figured out and things are beautifully in order again.
Final thoughts… I want my wildersoul.wordpress.com free online colouring book mostly focused as a resource for those healing from trauma, of any kind. Any kind of therapeutic use. And of course available for children, homeschoolers, and others who love to colour. Because of this, I am not so keen on having a shop attached, or advertising on the site. All of that can zip over to dissolvingbuildings.com, which is really where we will chase our dreams, and set up in business as a family. In itself that is a very healing thing for our family. And it is leading on to changes in our offline life too. One of us has a part-time job offer for the next six months at least. When there is a motivated goal, then things start to fall into place.
Wishing you all the best for the weekend, if you have read this far! You deserve a break! (smiling…)
PS. don't worry about my brain. It is probably inflamed from me eating wheat. We had a huge spicy moist carrot cake with cream cheese icing for our blog opening celebrations… and it is all gone now. Naughty me.

I don't why I always do this do myself, but here I am again with a deadline fast approaching! My nephew's wedding is this Saturday, and I have been planning to make this dress for at least 4 months. Yes, I know it is red, just like the pattern photo, but I am trying to sew up my stash and this fabric, a stretch sateen, was a great candidate for Vogue 1182.
I am making a muslin of this one first, though I must admit I don't usually take the time to do this. But I have read a lot of reviews of this pattern online via PatternReview, and I think I'd better work out any fitting issues in the muslin stage first. The main reasons I enjoy garment sewing are 1.) I like to choose my own pattern and fabric and not see myself coming and going in the same retail pieces others are wearing, 2.) fit, and 3.) I just like sewing together all the pieces, going from flat fabric to a 3D garment. Of the last 3 weddings I've attended, twice there was another gal wearing my same dress :-( And the third dress was a lovely, champagne-colored number, with a beaded bodice that just didn't fit right which made me uncomfortable all evening.
Bodice front: still need the side fronts and collar, then a fitting evaluation:
Back: although my dressform is a little smaller than I am, I think the extra couple of inches I added at the back side seams already appear to be too much. So glad I am making this alterations at the muslin stage and not with the fashion fabric!

Pub/Bar of the Month October 2013: Früh am Dom, Cologne, Germany
Früh am Dom, Cologne, Germany
The beer equivalent of wine's appellation controllée is perhaps most closely applied in the city of Cologne.
Only beers produced within the metropolitan area that are pale in colour, hop-accented, top-fermented and bright are entitled to call themselves kölsch (meaning 'from Cologne') and the resultant refreshing ale is among the most delicate in the canon of beer styles.
A visit to Cologne is therefore a must for anyone wanting to add another dimension to their understanding of the world of beer.
In one busy, fun-filled evening, a solid education can be acquired as you tour the city's many pubs and breweries and compare their individual takes on the style (even though many are now brewed at a big brewery owned by the Radeberger group).
As the beers are generally served in glasses of just 0.2 litres, it's not necessarily a heavy night out either.
One place you simply have to visit, perhaps as a starting point, is Früh am Dom, conveniently positioned, as its name reveals, just around the corner from the mightily impressive cathedral and the adjacent railway station.
The business began with Peter Joseph Früh in 1895. His initial brewery was sold three years later but he returned to the trade in 1904, converting a former theatre and a restaurant into a brewery and pub.
He died in 1915 but the brewery remained in family ownership, as it does today, weathering even greater setbacks as the German economy crashed in the early 1930s and the centre of Cologne was largely destroyed by Allied bombing in the Second World War.
Sensitive Reconstruction
Miraculously (perhaps in the true sense of the word), the Cathedral survived the onslaught. Früh – just a few dozen yards away – was not so lucky and was heavily damaged – apart from the brewhouse that continued steaming and was able to supply beer for other Cologne breweries that were not so fortunate.
The rest of the pub, however, needed complete reconstruction and this was handled with sensitivity to create an establishment that today seems hundreds of years old. The brewery is no longer in situ: demand for Früh's beer outstripped its capacity in the 1980s and a modern brewhouse was built to the north of the city.
Instead, in the vaulted, brick-walled basement where fermentation once took place, there is now a bierkeller, but this is just one of the numerous spacious drinking and dining areas, on various levels, within this impressive, maze-like building.
The outside tables on the cobbled square are inevitably busy in summer but walk on through to the main entrance.
There's a modern, more functional extension to the left side but make your way straight ahead into the tap room, where you can watch staff pushing taps into fresh casks and filling glass after glass of the foaming golden liquor.
To the right is the main dining room, a long, baronial space featuring half-panelled walls and faded old portraits, with chandelier lighting suspended from a painted, mosaic-like ceiling. High windows feature stained-glass and an old pendulum clock chimes the hours.
Waiters – known in the city as köbes – waltz around the room, dispensing the cute little glasses of beer from swaying slotted trays.
There is only one beer available, a typical kölsch in its delicacy and refinement. Don't expect big hoppy flavours or mouth-coating lushness of malt. Früh's beer is fragrant and subtle, a graceful, floral thirst quencher, with a hint of lemon and a dry finish, and gallons of it are drunk here to wash down the typically hearty German cooking of roasts, steaks and stews.
Because of its heritage, and even more so because of its location, Früh is obviously a magnet for tourists but don't let that put you off. Find yourself an alcove, perhaps grab a bite to eat and just enjoy that teasing subtlety of the Cologne beer style.

@Liberty - The 2018 Draft Mining Charter: Transformation Trumps Sustainability
@Liberty - Grounding Growth: Finding the right balance between mining and the environment
@Liberty - Mining and People: The impact of mining on the South African economy and living standards
The economies of four of the nine provinces and of several large towns are dominated by mining, as is the port of Richards Bay. Coal is the source of nine-tenths of South Africa's electricity, with the result that every other sector of the economy is heavily dependent on coal mining. So are the more than 15 million households connected to the national electricity grid owned by Eskom.
@Liberty - Ramaphosa and the Strange Workings of ANC Democracy
Based on a large opinion survey carried out late last year, the report suggests that South Africans are moderate in their thinking, and anxious for policies that will grow jobs and stimulate economic growth. In contrast, the survey results suggest the ruling ANC is out of touch with the true sentiments of its voter base.

This is a multi-series blog where we will feature one of our team members at SCS to show you what's in their fridge and what they ate in any given day. This week we feature Angela who is the owner of the studio and Master Instructor with the Spinning program.
"The photo above is from my grocery shopping trip back on Wednesday afternoon. My fridge was such a mess that I just unpacked my grocery bags on the counter to show you what I typically buy week to week. I buy 90% of my groceries at Healthy Living Market and the other 10% at Hannaford. In my fridge you will also find condiments like ketchup, mustard, hot sauce (my fav!), and of course…dill pickles. I also have a ton of protein in my freezer and I take it out when I need it (fish, lean ground beef, chicken, ground turkey, etc.).
Here is my day in eating and being active (Thursday, 1/5/16). I pretty much eat the same things, but switch it up depending on the season and availability of produce."
6:15am Wake Up
Coffee with a splash of french vanilla coconut creamer. It has 5 grams of sugar per tablespoon, but it's soooo worth it!
1/2 banana which I barely choked down because I hate eating that early in the morning.
Taught a 45 minute Spinning class. 24oz of water.
Another 24oz of water.
Regretting that I didn't bring a snack because I am now STARVING!. Taught a 60 minute Spinning + Total Body Class.
STARVING x100!!! Cherry-Vanilla protein shake and another cup of coffee with coconut creamer. The shake is vanilla protein powder, reduced sugar vanilla almond milk, and frozen cherries (no sugar added).
1/4 pint of fresh raspberries and a 1/2 an orange and another 16 oz of water.
Reheated dinner from last night which was chicken, peppers, and onions for fajitas. I didn't make a fajita, just had the chicken, veggies, tortilla chips, and some gaucamole on the side from Healthy Living Market. 16oz of water.
I had a meeting at Uncommon Grounds and I didn't want anymore caffeine, so I opted for a "Spirit of Life" juice from the Saratoga Juice Bar (spinach, celery, apple, cucumber, ginger, lemon).
I have to leave for yoga in an hour, so I needed a little energy before I hit the road. I took my vitamins first (CO Q10, multi, fish oil, Vitamin D with Calcium) and then had a baby kale salad dressed with olive oil, balsamic, and salt and pepper along with a spoonful of red pepper hummus and some pita chips. 16oz water.
75 minute Hot Power Flow Yoga class. This was the hottest and toughest class I have ever taken!!!!! I burned about 500 calories and sweat about 4 gallons. Ew. 48oz water.
I just got home (yoga was in Schenectady)
Dinner! Hooray! We ordered from Duo which is an amazing Asian restaurant. 1/2c (or so, I don't know) of white rice (my husband also ordered fried rice), General Tsao's chicken (so sticky, spicy, and yummy), 1.5c of steamed veggies (no sauce, nothing, just veggies), 1 small veggie spring roll, 4c soy sauce (KIDDING!! Or am I?). 32 oz water.
Fell asleep watching Top Chef.
I probably could have gotten more greens into my day, but tomorrow is another chance! Being a busy fitness instructor and business owner means I am always on the run. I stay hydrated, positive, and try my best to fuel my body with what it needs.

Item Description
Smoke tarps, also known as nose tarps, are specialty tarps designed to protect the front end of a load from soot, smoke, and dust while it is being transported on a flatbed truck. They also help reduce wind noise from certain types of loads, such as pipes. Smoke tarps can be flat or fitted; fitted options generally have a boxed in top to help secure the tarp around the edges of the load, while flat ones are a simple rectangle that can be folded over the edges of the cargo.
This Smoke Hauler Tarp (8'-0" x 8'-0" x 2'-0") is made from a durable, heavy-duty, lighter weight 16oz Vinyl Coated Polyester fabric. While some manufacturers use lighter weight tarp materials for parts of their fitted smoke tarps, we make ours entirely out of heavy-duty 16 oz. vinyl to ensure that they last for years to come. If a rip does occur, the heavyweight material can be easily patched. All hems are reinforced with strong 2" webbing and double locked stitched to ensure they hold up to the toughest conditions. Our tarp edges have solid brass grommets installed every 2 feet to help secure the tarp. In addition, a row of D-rings provides additional anchor points. Our smoke tarps will help ensure that your payload arrives at its destination safe, secure, and free of soot or debris.

Fabric: PVC coated Polyester
Color: Black
Thickness: 18 mils
Fabric Weight Top: 16oz / sq/yd
